On the pope’s crown in the Vatican museum is the recognized and most used title of the pope, VICARIVS FILII DEI (Vicar of the Son of God.) The word VICARIVS is on the top of the threefold crown. The word FILII is on the second circlet; and the words are made from dark, shining precious jewels. The word DEI is on the under part of the threefold crown and is made of 100 diamonds. “The Tiara is a bee‐hive shaped, somewhat bulging head‐ covering, ornamented with three crowns. It is first mentioned by Pope Constantine, in A. D. 715. It first appears on papal coins in the reign of Sergius III., A. D. 911. At this period it was merely a cap of white stuff. The papal coins of the 11th century leave it doubtful whether the ornamental band at the lower edge of the tiara is intended to represent a crown or merely a decoration. It is only in representations dating from the late 13th century that the circlet appears as a regular spiked crown. The second circlet was added by Pope Boniface VIII., A. D. 1303. The third was added under Clement V., A. D. 1311.” (Brit.) The reason for the addition of any of these crowns is unknown, or why the pope should have any crown at all. The words VICARIVS FILII DEI are, it is said, also carved over the entrance to the Vatican. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Gideon’s Band. “Count Me the swords that have come.” “Lord, thousands on thousands are ready.” “Lo! these are too many, and with them are some Whose hearts and whose hands are not steady. He whose soul does not burn, Let him take up his tent and return. “Count Me the swords that remain.” “Lord, hundreds on hundreds are daring.” “These yet are too many for Me to attain To the victory I am preparing. Lead them down to the brink Of the waters of Marah to drink.” “Lord those who remain are but few, And the hosts of the foe are appalling, And what can a handful such as we do?” “When ye hear from beyond, My Voice calling, Sound the trump! Hold the light! Great Midian will melt in your sight!” Revelation 14—The Five Harvest Messages 14:1. And I looked, and, [lo, a] BEHOLD THE Lamb.—See Rev. 5:6; 13:8; John 1:29, 36; Acts 8:32; 1 Pet. 1:19. Stood on the Mount Sion.—The Return of the Lord is here pictured as accomplished the sleeping saints raised, and the full number called. This was all fulfilled in 1878. (Rev. 11:17.) At that time our Lord took unto Himself His great power and began His Reign. And with Him an hundred forty and four thousand.—See Rev. 7:4. Having His [Father’s] name AND THE NAME OF HIS FATHER.—How beautiful and how true that we have _both_ the Father and the Son in our minds, while trinitarians must necessarily have more or less, and are proportionately confused.
