THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

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



               of the high priest in the earthly sanctuary on


               the day of atonement. On that day the priest



               came out of the sanctuary, and laid his hand


               on  the  head  of  the  scapegoat,  in  the  outer


               court  and  confessed  the  sins  of  the  people


               upon its head, in type transferring them to the


               goat, which was then led into the wilderness


               by  the  hand  of  a  “man  of  opportunity”  This


               represented the work brought to view in the


               twentieth chapter of Revelation. When Christ


               finishes  His  work  in  the  temple,  the  sins  of


               Israel will all be laid upon Satan: and during


               the  thousand  years  on  the  earth,  alone  and


               desolate,  the  sins  which  he  tempted  the


               redeemed to commit, will rest heavily on his


               heart. His name heads the list in that Book of


               Death,  and  it  is  followed  by  the  multitudes
