Spiritualism and Babylon’s Fall

Spiritualism is the angel that John saw "come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his glory."—Spir. Telegraph

We admit that the angel spoken of in Rev. xviii, 1, 2, has something to do with Spiritualism; for it is only when great spiritual Babylon, the confused sects of the day, becomes the "hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird," that that angel descends and cries mightily, "Babylon is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils." Then will be heard that other voice, which says, "Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

There is an agency which is to work with "all power, and signs, and lying wonders," [2 Thess. ii, 9; Rev. xiii, 13, 14,] but it comes from anywhere but heaven.
