For by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.—“Consider, again, why Babylon is so named. Evidently, because of her many errors of doctrine, which, mixed with a few elements of Divine Truth, make great confusion, and because of the mixed company brought together by the mixed truths and errors. This sin of holding and teaching error at the sacrifice of truth is one of which every sect of the church nominal is guilty, without exception. Where is the sect in which you can obey the Master’s words and let your light shine? We know of none.”—C. 181; Rev. 17:2; 2 Ki. 9:22. 18:24. And in her was found the blood of Prophets.—They are accounted as having slain the Prophets because they refuse to heed them, and to that extent caused them to lay down their lives needlessly!—Rev. 16:6; 17:6. And of saints.—They are accounted as having slain the saints because they have given no heed to their warnings, and to that extent caused them to die in vain.—Jer. 51:49. And of all that were slain upon the earth.—The great European war, and other wars, are justly laid at the door of the system that has perpetuated the doctrines of Divine right of clergy and kings; and it is for this reason that God has decreed her sins must be wiped out first with symbolical blood (Rev. 14:20), and afterwards with literal blood in the red sea of anarchy.—Ex. 14:21‐28; Isa. 63:1‐6. [Illustration] The Traveler Inquires The Way To Heaven [Illustration] Whom Should We Believe—God Or The Clergy? Revelation 19—The Overthrow Of Satan’s Empire 19:1. [And] after these things.—After the saints are glorified and present ecclesiastical systems are destroyed. I heard AS IT WERE a great voice of much people.—The Great Company.—Rev. 7:10. In heaven.—The only heavenly‐minded ones remaining on earth. Saying, Alleluia; Salvation.—Deliverance from the Papacy and other sects has come at last. [And glory, and honor,] and power [unto the Lord] OF our God.—It has been accomplished not by human power, but by the Wisdom and Power of God.—Rev. 7:12. 19:2. For true and righteous are Thy judgments.—“God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.”—1 John 1:5; Rev. 15:3; 16:7. For He hath judged the great whore.—Has executed the judgments long foretold. Which did corrupt the earth with her fornication.—Her illicit union with worldly governments. And hath avenged the blood of [His] HER servants at her hand.—The millions who have perished in the Great War have been the servants of Babylon. The direct cause of their slaughter is the doctrine of the Divine right of the clergy. These have maintained the kings of Europe on their thrones, falsely telling them they are ruling as part of Christ’s Kingdom. This position has led to the death of all these millions, and their blood will be required at Babylon’s hand.
