MESSERS. EDITORS: In your issue for March, there is a contribution with the title "The Battle of that Great Day of God Almighty," the writer of which says, that the object of it is to elicit the opinions of others with a view to mutual improvement and benefit. In the same spirit I transmit to you a thought which occurred to me while reading the article. It may be that it will throw a little light on the subject. In speaking of Rev. xvi, 12-17, the writer says that verse 16 seems to be parenthetic, and asks "to what antecedent does the autous [them] in this verse refer?" It seems to me that verse 16 is a continuation of verse 14, and that the antecedent of autous is "the kings" mentioned in verse 14. For this latter verse says, "which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to gather them," &c., and in verse 16 it says, "And he gathered them." Now, in the Greek, "A neuter plural regularly takes a verb in the singular." (See Sophocles' Gr. Gram., §151, 1.) Might not, therefore, the subject of the verb165sunēgagen [gathered,] (verse 16,) be ta pneumata [the spirits,] of verse 14, and thus the "gathering" mentioned in the two verses, be one and the same? And if this is to be a gathering of "the kings of the earth, and of the whole world," will it not be for the purpose mentioned in the text, viz., "to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty?" I may be entirely mistaken in my opinions, but if I am, as I am only a beginner in the study of this important subject, you will pardon me for trespassing upon you. M. T. G.—in Prophetic Times.
