REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!'/Chapter Twenty Five - Raised Again! - Continue

Christendom tried againg and again to repeat her triumph of 1918. She resorted to mob action, legal maneuvering, imprisonment,  even execution-all to no avail!  The spiritual domain of the two witnesses was out of her reach. In that year Jehovah had said to them: "Come on up here,"  and they had ascended  to an elevated spiritual state where their enemies couls see them but could not reach them. John describes the shocking effec on their restoration had on the great city. "And in that hour a great earthquake occurred, and tenth of the city fell; And seven thousand were killed by the the earthquake, and the rest became frightened and gave glory to the God of heaven."  (Revelation 11:13)  There were truly great convulsions in thr realm of religion. The ground seemed  to move  under the leader of the established churches as this body reviled Christians got to work. One tenth of their city, figuratively 7,000 persons were so profoundly affected that they are spoken of as being killed.
