Listen from:
“A Constant and Grateful Reader.” Rev. 13:77And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. (Revelation 13:7) refers to saints that shall be on the earth after the Church has been taken up to be with the Lord. The threefold division of the book of Revelation will help you much. “The things which thou halt seen.” (Chapter 1) “The things that are.” (Chapter 2, 3) “The things that shall be.” (Chapter 4.-22.) Chapters 4 and 5. show you the Church on high before the seals are open. We are in “ The things that are,'” that is the period of the Church's history as a responsible vessel on the earth. Hence, for men to ransack history, in order to trace the seals, trumpets, and vials, is most unintelligent labor. If the Church is on earth, then we are in “The things that are,” and not a single seal has yet been opened. But we merely give you the judgment which we have been led to form from many years study of the word of God. May He keep us so near to Himself continually, that we may have His thoughts about everything past, present, and future.
