It Will Come

By Editor

It Will Come.—We present some evidence this week in reference to the progress the Papacy is making in the Old World. It shows that the prophecy concerning her restoration is rapidly being filled up. Soon "the deadly wound" will be "healed," and the harlot who has so long bemoaned her widowhood will sing, "I sit a queen and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow." The nations will have "one mind,"—to give their power and strength unto the beast. It may be said that this will not be, that such a revolution will not take place, but, in the language of another, as applied to our own land, "The prophecy must be fulfilled; and if the prophecy requires such a revolution, it will be accomplished."

Again: "We need not speculate as to methods. There is the prophecy, which cannot be broken." Or, in the words of another: "Romanism in the Old World, and apostate Protestantism in the New, will pursue a similar course toward those who honor the divine precepts." But Christ is coming, and both the Old World "beast" and the New World "false prophet" will be cast alive in the fire kindled by the breath of Him who sits upon the cloud.
