THE WATCHER

J. G. Bellett
Daniel 4DAN 4
The present is a moment of great significance in the world's history. We often speak of other days as having been strongly characterized and of high importance in the progress of the way of man, and in the unfolding of the purposes of God. Were we but in the due position, so as to look at them aright, the present would be seen by us as equal to any of them in importance and in meaning.
Man is preparing that great exhibition of himself, whereby the whole world is to be ensnared and deceived to its final utter ruin. Such a condition of things has already had many a miniature resemblance, and nothing has escaped the snare but "the mind of Christ." That is, the man of God is led by the Spirit through the specious and commanding delusion.
