enacted in our world in the future, but this we do know, that this is a
time when we must watch unto prayer, for the great day of the Lord is
at hand.—

The mark of the beast is exactly what it has been proclaimed
to be. Not all in regard to this matter is yet understood nor will it
be understood until the unrolling of the scroll.—

blessings, and be borrowing trouble in regard to the future crisis. This
will be making a time of trouble beforehand, and we will receive no
grace for any such anticipated troubles.—

There is a time of trouble coming to the people of God, but we are
not to keep that constantly before the people and rein them up to have
a time of trouble beforehand. There is to be a shaking among God’s
people, but this is not the present truth to carry to the churches.—
