THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

“Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at

earth in person, clothed in garments of light,
and claiming to be the Saviour. For this final
scene, the work of Spiritualism, which, in its
modern forms, arose in the United States, is
now preparing the world. When Satan thus

worship his image. The tyranny of
government will be complete. It will be as the
laws of the Medes and Persians, from which
there was no appeal. The decree of Xerxes,
which demanded the slaying of all the Jews, on
one day, throughout all the realm, in the days
of Queen Esther, will be repeated by the
powers that be, and the lives of the followers
of God, those who have received His mark,-the
seal of His law,-will be demanded.
