Mysterious Prophecies Revealed.
The bringing in of the evening light by the Holy Spirit has been the
clearing away of much mystery from prophetic texts. The voice of the angel
said, in speaking to Daniel, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and
seal the book, even to the time of the end.” Dan. 12:4. We have reached
the time of the end—the evening, and the book is unsealed and revealed and
the “wise understand”; but “none of the wicked understand.” Many texts of
Revelation were fulfilled and understood when the evening light flashed
across its pages. We will quote a few.
_Revelation 14:6-8._
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the
everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to
every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud
voice, Fear God, and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment is
come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the
fountains of waters. And there followed another angel saying, Babylon is
fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of
the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
Angel is from the Greek _anggelos_, and means agent or messenger. “Heaven”
does not refer to the glory world above, but to the work of God and heaven
here upon earth. This angel is a messenger or servant in the work of the
Lord. He has the everlasting gospel to preach to the people. The burden of
his ministry is, “Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his
judgment is come.” The evening or time of the end is reached, the hour of
God’s judgment, the time of the bride’s especial preparation for the
coming of the bridegroom. This ministry is closely followed by another
messenger declaring, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city,
because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication.”
“Babylon is fallen.” This is a prediction against mystery Babylon the
great and her harlot daughters—Catholicism and Protestantism. This God’s
pure ministry has been preaching for the last two decades. Sectism is in a
fallen condition. It is fallen into the depths of worldliness. She has
opened her bosom and invited the world in to revel with her. She has
prepared a potion of charming delusive spirits, by which she has
intoxicated and inflamed the blood of nations. In the last few years the
concerts, fairs and socials are frequented by both the professed
Christians and non-professors, and in their dress, conversation, and
general manner, they are undistinguishable. Sectism to-day in not enticing
people to enter her fold by preaching the everlasting gospel, but she
allures them by her seducing love decoction of lewdness, worldliness and
licentiousness. Babylon is fallen.
