Answers to Correspondents.

By Editor

S. A. D.—You will find your question concerning the origin of Satan fully answered in the pamphlet entitled, "Ministration of Angels; and the Origin, History, and Destiny of Satan," published at this office. Price, 20 cents.

A. C. B.—(1.) You will find the reference in "Thoughts on Daniel," chap. 9., paragraph marked, "7." Or, "Prideaux's Connex.," Vol. I., p. 322. (2.) The fifth month of the Jewish Calendar answers to our August-September. We see no difficulty in locating an event in the autumn which occurred in the fifth month.

J. C. W.—It would take more than one number of the SIGNS to give a full explanation of the doctrine of future punishment. In brief, we can say that at the last day the wicked “go away into everlasting punishment,” Matt. 25:46; that this punishment is death; see Rom. 6:23; Eze. 18:26; that Paul puts these two points together when he says that those who “know not God, and that obey not the gospel,” “shall be punished with everlasting destruction.” 2 Thess. 1:8, 9. Articles on this subject appear at frequent intervals in the SIGNS.
