The paper this week deals with the question of what Babylon is, as presented in the Bible, and further that Babylon is to meet with a moral fall. The prominence that the Bible gives to this subject makes it essential for us to carefully study what the sacred Book teaches about it. We trust that our readers this week will be interested in the important articles that are given, and that this will lead them to look forward to the articles in the
Next Paper,
which will tell the result of Babylon's fall and present God's last great protest against the work that leads to this fall. This protest is the most solemn message of warning in all the Bible, and the fact that the events of the time show that this warning is now due should cause the careful consideration of the subject by all. The fulfilments of prophecy and the additional Bible truth connected therewith that the Lord has caused to be written in His word for the people in the last days to especially consider, form a subject that can not receive too much attention. We are encouraged by the faithfulness with which our patrons are circulating these papers, and we know that the importance of the work demands our continued and most energetic efforts.
