een <strong>the</strong> recipient <strong>of</strong> great light from heaven. But<br />

now when <strong>the</strong> <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong>, <strong>the</strong> last <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m all,<br />

has turned from <strong>the</strong> ways <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord, <strong>the</strong>re is no<br />

nation which God can take to punish her, for every<br />

one has rejected <strong>the</strong> counsels <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> “King <strong>of</strong> kings<br />

and Lord <strong>of</strong> lords.”<br />

When <strong>the</strong> Lord comes to earth again in this<br />

latter day, he comes not only as <strong>the</strong> Saviour <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

redeemed, but as <strong>the</strong> judge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> nations, to plead<br />

with <strong>the</strong>m with fire and sword. He comes with an<br />

army <strong>of</strong> angels, and with his army he smites <strong>the</strong><br />

armies <strong>of</strong> princes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> earth. All <strong>of</strong> this is plainly<br />

set forth in <strong>the</strong> Scriptures:--<br />

“Blow ye <strong>the</strong> trumpet in Zion, and sound an<br />

alarm in my holy mountain: let all <strong>the</strong> inhabitants<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> land tremble: for <strong>the</strong> day <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord cometh,<br />

for it is nigh at hand; a day <strong>of</strong> darkness and <strong>of</strong><br />

gloominess, a day <strong>of</strong> clouds and <strong>of</strong> thick darkness,<br />

as <strong>the</strong> morning spread upon <strong>the</strong> mountains: a great<br />

people and a strong; <strong>the</strong>re hath not ever been <strong>the</strong><br />

like, nei<strong>the</strong>r shall be any more after it, even to <strong>the</strong><br />

years <strong>of</strong> many generations.<br />
