"The ministers of God were not meant to be soothsayers but truth-sayers. We were not called to predict all the changing events in the kingdoms of this world, nor to be the heralds of a future antichrist, but to proclaim the ETERNAL PRESENT CHRIST. The book of Revelation is not primarily intended to teach world events. It is intended to teach the purposes of God and spiritual realities. The principal pictures deal with two churches — the true church and the false church — and the spiritual laws and activities represented by these two. The false church is "Mystery Babylon," the "scarlet-clad woman," who has apostatized from her true husband and is now committing fornication with the world. If she had not one time walked with Christ she would not be known as a "church," nor would her fling with the world constitute "fornication." What is a harlot? The harlot is a woman who sells that which is her characteristic honor and glory and lives in dissipation, a woman without honor, who lives in most intimate relation and intercourse with men outside of the sacred bond of marriage. In union with her many lovers this woman brings forth a vast company of harlot daughters like unto herself, filling the whole world with the filthiness and abominations of her lewdness and fornication. The true church is the "Heavenly Jerusalem," the "sun-clad woman," who brings forth a manchild who is destined to rule all nations with a rod of iron. These two churches are in the world together and the world cannot tell the difference, but the destiny of them is very different. Babylon is utterly destroyed, and the true church becomes a kingdom of priests, reigning with Christ over all things; the nations of them that are saved shall walk in its light and the kings of the whole earth shall bring their glory and honor into it. Great is the mystery!"
