And            thousands                  who            claim             to        hold


               communion  with  the  spirits  of  the  dead  are



               declaring,  “Behold,  He  is  in  the  secret


               chambers.”  This  is  the  very  claim  that


               Spiritualism makes.



               But  Christ  says,  “Believe  it  not.  For  as  the


               lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth


               even unto the west; so shall also the coming


               of the Son of man be.”



               At  Christ's  ascension  the  angels  declared  to

               Heaven.  Acts  1:11.  He  ascended  bodily,  and


               they  saw  Him  as  He  left  them  and  was


               received  by  the  cloud.  He  will  return  on  a


               great  white  cloud,  and  “every  eye  shall  see


               Him.” Revelation 1:7.



               The exact day and hour of His coming has not


               been  revealed.  Christ  told  His  disciples  that


               He Himself could not make known the day or


               the  hour  of  His  second  appearing.  But  He
