A False Messiah Predicted

By Editor

H. L. Burnett and John Taylor, of Zion City, built by the late Mr. Dowie, are filing in the various county courts of the United States a document declaring that the Messiah will appear upon this earth before the close of the year 1912. He will appear first in material form to eight men—one a high priest, who will be ordained for the occasion, and seven men to whom will have been committed the preliminary work necessary to the restoration of Israel and Judah. Forty-five days later He will be declared unto all the world, and revealed in the city of Zion. All of which, in the light of Scripture, is nonsense; and yet we presume many will be deceived thereby; for men will provide the false messiah.
