future through the
prophets, and onward yet we look. And the events coming are neither less
in number, merit, or force, than those passed. Keep the events of
prophecy in their proper order lest they confuse you. The Jews and Ten
Lost Tribes are to be found and possess Palestine before this battle.
Anti-Christ is to appear. The two witnesses, Moses and Elijah, are to
appear. And Jesus, our beloved Master, will not come till the world is
settled long in perpetual peace--till the house is prepared for the
bride, then shall He come. But with lightning speed events are crowding
on along the ages. The accumulative forces of centuries are pressing
hard upon time present. The time of the end is near--not the end of
time, but the time appointed of God in which certain great things are to
be accomplished. Eighteen hundred years ago John cried out, "Loose the
four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four
angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a
month, and a year" (Rev. ix. 14).

The Turkish Power originated on the banks of the Euphrates. It first was
divided into four Sultanies--namely, Bagdad, Aleppo, Damascus and
Cesarea. These are typified under four angels. Their time was to be 396
years and a fraction--an hour, day, month, and year. Thus, taking a day
for a year, 365 for the year, thirty for the month, one for the day, and
we have 396. So from the taking of Bagdad by the Turks in 1057, which
was the overthrow of the Saracens, until the capture of Constantinople in
1453, which overthrew the Greek Empire, we have just 396 years. And the
time for the drying up of Turkey is at hand; and so it comes to pass.

Dear friends, how wonderful are the dealings of our God! Can we shut our
eyes to His Divine revelation? Let us be wise in the day of grace,
taking heed to the sure Word of prophecy, as unto a light that shineth in
a dark place. The world indeed is dark, and all confusion. But His Word
shows unto us order in all this confusion, blessed be His name. More
next Sunday evening.
