REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Two - World Rulers Put on Notice - Continue

 At this convention, the symbolic locusts receive further fighting equipment, notably a new book entitled Deliverance.  It included a Scriptural discussion of the sight proving that the  'man child' government, Christ's heavenly Kingdom, had been born in 1914.  (Matthew 24:3-14; Luke 21:24-26; Revelation 12:1-10)  Thereafter, it quoted the manifesto published in London in 19918 and signed by eight clergymen, who were described as being "among the world's greatest preachers."  They represented the leading Protestant denominations -Baptist, Congregational, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, and Methodist.  This manifesto  proclaimed that "the present crisis point toward the close of the times of the Gentiles" and that  'the revelation  of the Lord may be expected at any moment." Yes, those clergymen had recognized the sign of Jesus' presence!  But did they want to do anything about it?  The book Deliverance informs us: "The most remarkable part of the affair is that the very men that signed the manifesto subsequently repudiated it and rejected the evidence which proves that we are at the end of the world and in the dat if the Lord's second presence."
