THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

                                             Stephen N. Haskell


                 “Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
                                              hand” Revelation 22:10.



               earth  itself  is  destroyed,  together  with  the

               powers of earth,-the beast and his image-still


               plan  the  extermination  of  the  hated,
