Rev ..Knecht To Talk On
| "The Mark Of The Beast"
Sunday Evening Sept. 19*
} "The. United States in Bible
; Prophecy" was the subject of Ev
angelist L. P. Knecht as he address,
ed a large audience in the Com
munity Bible Tabernacle last Sun
day night, Sept. 12. He identified
the American nation prophetical
ly from Rev. 13:11 and verses fol
lowing, showing among other
proofs of this position that the
United States' possession of the
Atomic bomb is described in verse
13 where the beast made fire to
come down from heaven.
Commenting on what the future
has for the United States and the
rest of the world, Evangelist Knecht
quoted from Dr. R. M. Hutchins.
Chancellor of the University of
Chicago: " "Without the Atomic
bomb the prospects of civilization
were dubious enough. Now that
we have it, they are black . . .
The pity is that we have so little
time." Raymond Swing was quoted
in making this statement: "We have
s^bJit four or five years left. Either
wy will find a way to establish
World Government or perish in
a war of the atom." "Educators'
and scientists are now preaching
what the Bible teaches and has al
ways taught," declared the Evan
gelist.
Next Sunday, Sept. 19, the sub
ject will be "The Mark of the
Beast". Pass tickets are being giv
en as long as they last to those j
attending two previous lectures to!
insure all those who have been at
tending a seat for this important
lecture. The Gay quartet, popu
lar with the Tabernacle congre
gation, will give a number of
special selections. All are invited
to attend the nightly meetings this
week and secure a seat ticket for
next Sunday night's lecture.
