The Greatest Issue Before America
By Editor
The election will take place November 6, and then—matters will rush along about as they have been. We have no idea how the election will go, and it may make but little difference, excepting to some office-holders. The greatest issue in the United States to-day is one that comparatively few people are willing to consider. The country is in the current toward Rome, and is already so near the falls that even Baptist ministers are saying, "We are not as fearful of Roman influence as we used to be." The Church and State "image" to Papal Rome was set up in 1892, when the Federal Supreme Court announced that "this is a Christian nation," and based the conclusion on papal documents, beginning with the commission of Ferdinand and Isabella to Columbus. Since 1892 the "image" has been developing, under all administrations, until the time for it to "speak" is nigh at hand. See Revelation 13. No political party, no federal administration, can turn the tide; nor has any shown aught of inclination to do so, neither will they. Church and State are alike in the current. The country is onward to its destiny, and the end of all things earthly is at hand. The greatest issue before the world to-day is the coming of the Lord to judgment; but the masses will not awake, and that day will overtake them as a thief. See Matt. 24:42-44; 1 Thess. 5:1-8; 2 Peter 3:10.
