PUBLISHER'S PREFACE

SINCE the days of the Apostles, Christian people

have been looking for the coming of our Lord Jesus

in great power and glory; for He said that He would

come again and receive His Church unto Himself. He

further pointed out that for some time prior to the

completion of the Church He would be present,

gathering out from Babylon and from the world the

truly onsecrated, and that during His presence "the

Mystery of God" would be finished.

Through St. John the Lord Jesus revealed the fact that

the Church would be developed during seven distinct

periods, or epochs; and that for each of these epochs

He would have a special angel, or messenger, to

serve the other members of the Body. It follows,

then, that the messenger to the last, or Laodicean,

epoch would declare the Presence of the Lord and the

time of the Harvest of the Gospel Age. The great

Master laid special emphasis on the importance of the

messenger to the seventh, or Laodicean, period of the

Church, saying that such an one would be "a faithful

and wise servant, whom his Lord would make ruler

over all His Household, to give them meat in due

season."

Those consecrated Christians who have read and

fully appreciated the Truth as contained in the

preceding six volumes of STUDIES IN THE

SCRIPTURES readily see and agree that Charles

Taze Russell was the messenger of the Church of

Laodicea. In the mind of every one who believes the

Bible the evidence set forth in this volume will

establish that fact beyond the question of a doubt.

In the light of Divine Prophecy, now being daily

fulfilled and made clear to "the watchers," the

following lines from the pen of Pastor Russell is

further proof that he was sent of God to this

generation. Long years before the beginning of the

trouble now upon the nations he wrote:

"The four exhibitions of the Lord, given to Elijah,

represent, we believe, four manifestation in which the

Lord is about to reveal Himself to mankind, the first

three of which will prepare men for the final one. In

which will come the desired blessing to all the

families of the earth. These are:

"(1) The mighty winds rending the very rocks.

Blowing winds seem to be used in Scripture for wars.

The wars, whose dark clouds have threatened the

civilized world so ominously for the past thirty years,

have been miraculously hindered to give opportunity

for ‘sealing'

the Lord's consecrated people in their foreheads

(intellectually) with the Present Truth. We are

therefore to expect that when these winds of war shall

be let loose, it will mean a cataclysm of warfare

which shall divide kingdoms (mountains)—
