“ Search the Scriptures.” “ Prove all things.” “ Preach the Word,”
INTRODUCTORY.
The Bible, and the Bible alone, is our only rule of faith, practice and discipline. We adopt the plain, literal interpretation taking God at his word, believing he means what he says, and says what he means. We understand the plain reading of the Bible the same as we would any other book; the figurative referring to literal facts, and will always harmonize with the literal. We know of no third way, called spiritual or mystical sense.
We make the Bible a subject book, instead of a text book. In tracing subjects through the Scriptures, we always find a harmony of teaching on every subject. Then we know we have the truth. We believe the Bible furnishes a key to unlock every mystery in itself, when thoroughly searched out. “ God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.”
Prophecy is the foretelling of future events,

INTRODUCTORY.
or history before hand. The fulfillment of prophecy is when the events take place agreeing with history and well known facts in the past and present, which is the great foundation for faith in the future state.
Many things are not only proved by the Scriptures; but the Scriptures are proved true by many things; or many things prove the Scriptures true.
We prove what we believe by the Scriptures and what we believe proves the Scriptures true ; for truth is when facts and statements agree.
The Bible states that God created the earth and man; and that man sinned, and the earth was cursed with thorns and thistles, and he dies. This agrees with well-known facts.
The Bible prophesies of the rise and fall of four universal kingdoms of earth. This is also now past history, undisputed even by infidels.
Many facts are now taking place, even in our time, of which the Bible speaks in the plainest terms, of which we cannot be mistaken; such as the darkening of the sun and moon, and falling of the stars, and the fall of the Turkish empire in 1840; the three angels’ messages, the holding of the winds or wars, and the rise of Spiritualism; and the spread of present truth, in its taking root so effectually in preparing a people for translation, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

AN EXTRACT FROM HISTORY.
Origen, by an unhappy method, opened a secure retreat for all sorts of errors that a wild and irregular imagination could bring forth. Having entertained a notion that it was extremely difficult, if not impossible, to defend everything contained in the sacred writings from the cavils of heretics and infidels, so long as they were explained literally, according to the real import of the terms, he had recourse to the fecundity of a lively imagination, and maintained that they were to be interpreted in the same allegorical manner in which the Platonists explained the history of the gods.—Mosheim’a Church History, Yol. i, p. 87.
Wm. Tyndale, a. d. 1530, says, " The greatest cause of which captivity and decay of faith,and this blindness wherein we are now, sprang first from allegories; for Origen, and the doctors of his time, drew all the Scriptures into allegory, insomuch as that twenty doctors expounded one text twenty different ways, as children make descant upon plain song, yea, they are come into such blindness that they not only say the literal sense profiteth not, but also that it is hurtful and killeth the soul. Ho man dare abide the literal sense of the text, but under a protestation, if it should please the pope,”—Voice of the Church, p. 140
“how readebt thou?”—Luke x, 26.
“ *Tis one thing now to read the Bible through, Another thing to read to learn and do:
Tis one thing now to read it with delight,
And quite another thing to read it right.
Some read it with design to learn to read,
But to the subject pay but little heed;
Some read it as their duty once a week,
But no instruction from the Bible seek:
W hilst others read it with but little care,
6
A CONCORDANCE
With no regard to how they read, or where»
Some read it as a history, to know How people lived three thousand years ago.
Some read to bring themselves into repute,
By showing others how they can dispute:
Whilst others read because their neighbors do.
To see now long ’twill take to read it through.
Some read it for the wonders that are there,
How David killed a lion and a bear;
Whilst others read, or rather in it look,
Because, perhaps, they have no other book.
Some read the blessed Book, they don’t know why. It some how happens in their way to lie;
Whilst others read it with uncommon care,
But all to find some contradictions there.
Some read as tho’ it did not speak to them,
But to the people at Jerusalem;
One reads it asa book of mysteries,
And won’t believe the very thing he sees.
One reads with father’s specks upon his head,
And sees the thing just as his father said,
Another reads through Campbell or through Scott, And thinks it means exactly what they thought. Whilst others read the Book through H. Ballou, And if it cross his track it can’t be true!
Some read to prove a pre-adopted creed—
Thus understand but little what they read;
For every passage in the Book they bend,
To make it suit that all-important endl Some people read, as I have often thought,
To teach the book, instead of being taught;
And some there are who read it out of spite—
I fear there are but few who read it right.
So many people in these latter days,
Have read the Bible in so many ways,
That few can tell which system is the best,
For every party contradicts the rest!!”

THE EPISTLE OF JUSTINIAN TO JOHN, THE ROMAN PONTIFF, A. D. 533.
“ Rendering honor to the apostolic see, and to your holiness, (as always was and is our desire,) and, as it becomes us, honoring your Blessedness as a father, we have laid without delay before your holiness, all things pertaining to the state of the church. Since it has always been our earnest study to preserve the unity of your holy see, and the state of the holy churches of God, which has hitherto obtained, ana will remain, without any interfering opposition. Therefore we hasten to subject and to unite to your holiness, all the priests of the whole East. As to matters which are presently agitated, although clear and undoubted, and, according to the doctrine of your apostolic see, held assuredly resolved and decided by all priests, we have yet deemed it necessary to lay it before your holiness. Nor do we suffer anything which belongs to the state of the church, however manifest and undoubted, that is agitated, to pass without the knowledge of your holiness, who are the head of all the holy churches. For in all things, (as had been said or resolved,) we are prompt to increase the honor and authority of your see.” — Croley, pp. 114,115.

Rev. x, 6. Time is no longer, is the same message as the hour of his judgment is come. Mr. Wolfe of Asia, Mr. Irvin of England, and Wm. Miller of the U. S., had written and preached on time. This message has been preached in all the world for a witness to all nations, and the end is here.

THIRD ANGEL.

This is the seven last plagues. To worship the beast is to keep Sunday, an institution of Papacy, after being enlightened. Here is the patience of the saints, here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Just before Christ comes on the white cloud with a sharp sickle to reap the harvest of the earth, which will be ripe for destruction at the end of the world.
Matt, xiii, 26. The harvest is the end of world.
Q. How prove you that the Church hath power to command feasts and holydays ?

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
1 THE DARKENING OF THE SUN AND MOON.
The opening of the five seals marks the time from the Apostles to 1780.
Rev. vi, 12. When he had opened the sixth seal.
The darkening of the sun and moon marks the beginning of the signs of the last days. Matt, xxiv, 29; Mark xiii, 24; Luke xxi, 25.
From Robt. Sears’ Guide to Knowledge, published in New York, 1844, wé extract the following:
"On the 19 th of May, 1780, an uncommon darkness took place all over New England; and extended to Canada. It continued about fourteen hours, or from ten o’clock in the morning to midnight. Similar days have occasionally been known, though inferior in the degree or extent of their darkness. The causes of these phenomena are unknown. They certainly were not the result of eclipses,” “The moon had fulled the day before,”
" The night succeeding that day was of such pitchy darkness, that, in some instances, horses could not be compelled to leave the stable when wanted for service. About midnight the clouds were dispersed, and the inoon and stars appeared with unimpaired brilliancy.” —Portsmouth Journal May 20JÄ, 1843. Extract from Stone9s History of Beverly.
Mr Tenuy, of Exter, N. H., quoted by Mr. Gage to the Historical Society, says:—
" The darkness of the following evening was probably as gross as has ever been observed since the Almighty first gave birth to light. I could not help conceiving at the time, that if every luminous body in the universe had been shrouded in impenetrable dark-

ness, or Btruck out of existence, the darkness could not have been more complete. A sheet of white paper held within a few inches of the eyes, was equally invisible with the blackest velvet.**
On the 19th of May, 1780, a memorable darkness was spread over all the northern States. The obscurity was occasioned by a thick vapor or cloud, tinged with a yellow color, or faint red, and a thin coat of dust was deposited on white substances. In these instances, the obscurity was so great as to render candles or lamps necessary at noon day. The darkness m Canada was followed by squalls of wind, severe thunder—and, in one instance, by a meteor or fire ball. So ignorant were most people of this phenomenon, that many were exceedingly frightened.—Noah Webster* 8 Elements of Useful Knowledge, vol. i, p. 182, printed 1810, over forty years ago.
“ In the dark' day, May 19th, 1780, the heavens were covered with a dense cloud for three or four
hours......During this time the clouds were tinged
with a yellowish or faint red for hours, for which no satisfactory cause has been assigned. I stood and viewed the phenomenon, but had not any fear that the world was coming to an end.**—Noah Webster, LL. D.—New Haven Daily Herald,
2.	THE FALLING OF THE STARS.
Rev. vi, 13. And the stars of heaven shall fall as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Matt, xxiv, 29; Mark xiii, 25; Luke xxi, 25.
Henry Dana Ward, of New York, as published in the Journal of Commerce, says:
" Truly, «the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig-tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.* Rev vi, 13. This language of the prophet has always been reeeived as

27
metaphorical. Yesterday it was literally fulfilled. The ancients understood by aster in Greek, and della in Latin, the smaller lights of heaven. The refinement of modern astronomy has made the distinction between stars of heaven and meteors of heaven. Therefore, the idea of the prophet, as it is expressed in the original Greek, was literally fulfilled in the phenomenon of yesterday. The immense size and distance of the planets and fixed stars forbid the idea of their falling urdo the earth. Larger bodies cannot fall in myriads unto a smaller body ; but most of the planets and all the fixed stars are many times larger than our earth. They cannot fall unto the earth; but these fell towards the earth.
“ And how did they fall ? "Were I to hunt through nature for a simile, I could not find one so apt to illustrate the appearance of the heavens, as that which St. John uses : “ Even as a fig-tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind.” Prof. Olmstead of Yale College, a distinguished meteorologist, speaking of the falling stars says:—
“The extent of the shower of 1833, was such as to cover no inconsiderable part of the earth’s surface, from the middle of the Atlantic on the East, to the Pacific on the West; and from the northern coast of South America, to undefined regions among the British possessions on the North,”
“ Those who were so fortunate as to witness the exhibition of shooting stars on the morning of Nov. 13, 1833, probably saw the greatest display of celestial fire-works that has ever been seen since the creation of the world, or at least within the annals covered by the pages of history.”

Luke xxi, 25. Upon the earth distress of nations.
Nathan Bangs, William Williams, and others, issued a circular iu 1848, in which they said, * Recent events in agitated Europe, go to show that He, who is the • Governor among the nations,* is about to rise and * shake terribly the earth.* **
Says the British Banner of 1848: " A dread uncertainty hangs over the future of the nations of Europe. The shores of the Baltic, and the mountains of Sicily, ave alike been swept by the mighty whirlwind I From the Atlantic to the Vistula, every throne has been shaken.”
The celebrated Albert Barnes, of Philadelphia, has attempted to prove that this rocking and razing of thrones in Europe is a fulfillment of Dan. vii, 9. The thrones were cast down. If so, the ancient of days will soon sit in solemn judgment.
Was there ever a time duriug which the " kings of the earth** saw greater trouble than in the past memorable year ? Between twenty-five and thirty of the kingdoms of Europe were swept with the tide of revolution, and shaken to their very center. And now the *• nations are angry,** and prepared for war upon a scale of grandeur hitherto unknown,; and the hearts of men fail them, when they anticipate the result of the awful struggle.
“ This Eastern war may be carried on for 30 years and yet come to no conclusion.**—Ai T. Tribune in 1853.
Igar A Memorable Tear,—During 1855, there were seventy-three battles fought, or more than one a week, with an average loss of over a thousaud men killed in each, excluding those who have fallen by disease or in skirmishes, those who died in the hospital or the ambulance, the wounded and disabled, the maimed, missing and prisoners.

The prophecies pertaining to Christ’s first coming were fulfilled literally. So we believe the signs will be literally fulfilled in his second coming.
Dan. xii, 10. But the wise shall understand.
“ The idea of*a spiritual coming of Christ; when an absolute coming is intended, has no foundation. A spiritual coming evidently supposes a spiritual absence. which is contrary to fact. Spiritually, the Lord Jesus has been with his saints from the beginning. He promised to be with his ministers to the end of the world. See Matt, xxviii, 20. In a similar manner is be with all his saints. John xiv. And since, in this sense, he is and has been with his people, and since in the prophecy an absolute coming to take the kingdom is predicted, it is in the highest degree absurd to talk of a spiritual coming. This all must see and admit.”

THE 70 WEEKS AND 2300 DATS.
We understand that tlie ixth of Dan. is the key to the viiith, and that the 70 weeks and 2300 days commence together, and if we cau find the time of the commencement of one, it will be also of the other. It is by the canon of Ptolemy that the prophetical period of 70 weeks is fixed. This canon places the 7th of Artaxerxes in the year b. o. 457; and the accuracy of the canon is demonstrated by the concurrent agreement of more than 20 eclipses. It is ascertained to a certainty that this decree went forth, or was delivered in the Autumn of 457, 7th month, 10th day. . Ezra viii, 35, 36; Lev. xxiii, 27. On the day of atonement and sin-offerings. The 69 of the 70 weeks from the going forth of the decree, b. o. 457, would end in the Autumn of a. d. 27, where, according to Usher, Christ was baptized, and began to preach, saying, ‘»The time is fulfilled.” Mark i, 10,14,15. The time fulfilled must have been the 69 weeks, or 483 years, a day for a year. Hum. xiv, 34; Eze. iv, 6. Three years and a half from the Autumn of a. d. 27, brings us to the middle of the 70th week, in the Spring of a. d. 31, April 3d, the only passover full moon that fell on a Friday, for several years before or after. Christ was crucified the day before the Sabbath. Mark xv, 42. That is our Friday. That day was the passover. Jno. xviii, 28; xix, 14. Also agreeing with the type. This may be further seen by the Saviour’s attending but four passovers. At the last he was crucified. Jno, ii, 13; v, 1; vi, 4; xiii, 1. The four could not cover more than three and a half years. The remaining three and a half years would end in the Autumn of a. d. 34, to the confirming of the covenant. Heb. ii. 3. Then the 490 years of the the 2300, terminated in the Autum of a. d.34. There remain 1810, which added to a. d. 34, bring us to the seventh month, tenth day, Autumn of a. d. 1844, when the Sanctuary was to be cleansed.

SPIRITUALISM.
Mediums pretend to tell of past aud future events by the aid of the spirits of the dead. Such persons are known in the Bible as necromancers, whom God abominates. We condemn Spiritualism upon its own profession and works.
God communicates in a very different way. tt Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Pet. i, 21. There is a diversity of gifts, but the same spirit; [1 Cor. xii, 4;] while Spiritualism has gifts with diversities of spirits.
We will let the Bible show the origin, work and doom of Spiritualism, and its author.
1.	THE ORIGIN OF THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS.
Ps. ciii, 20. God’s angels are under commandme.
1	Jno. iii, 4. Sin is the transgression of the law.
2	Pet. ii, 4. God spared not the angels that sin. Jude 6. The angels which kept not their first es. Job iv, 18. His angels he charged with folly, xv, 15. The heavens are not clean in his sight. Rev. xii, 7. And there was war in heaven, between Michael and the Devil.
9. Satan was cast out into the earth, and his angels. The great red dragon is a symbol of Pagan Rome. And he is called Satan, because he was the master spirit in its rulers. And he claimed the kingdoms of Rome, and offered them to the Son of God when he was on earth. Matt, iv, 8, 9. And Christ says
TO SUBJECTS.
11
his kingdom was not divided. Matt, xii, 26. By this Christ acknowledges the kingdom of this world at that time to he in the hands of the Devil, ruled by the Caesars.
Again the Devil is figured forth by the king-of Babylon
Isa. xiv, 12. How art thou fallen from heaven, 0 Lucifer ?
13.1	will ascend above the stars of God. [An’ls.]
14.1	will be like the Most High.
15. Thou shalt be brought down to hell. Exultation was the sin of Lucifer—son of the morning. It is not very probable that the king of Babylon fell from heaven, when he Was never there. Under the king of Tyrus we have another figure of the fallen angels or cherubim.
Eze. xxviii, 13. Thou hast been in Eden, the garden of God.
14.	Thou art the anointed cherub. [Angel.]
15.	Thou wast perfect in the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16.	Thou hast sinned; I will cast thee out of the mount of God. No doubt that this king was led by Satan, and used as a figure of his fall; for a cherub is an angel.
Luke x, 18. Jesus beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. He could not have seen him fall if he never was there.
Jno. viii, 44. Jesus says he abode not in the Tlii»n Via miiaf.
72
Á CONCORDANCE,
truth. The Lord created the Devil a holy angel, and he sinned by exaltation, pride and jealousy. The Lord created man very good, he sinned and he fell. We judge from the figure of the dragon that the Devil drew from heaven the third part of the angels with him. Hence we read of the Devil and his angels. And these dark, fallen spirits are now carrying on the work of Spiritualism.
2.	PERSONAL DEVILS, AND THEIR TITLES.
We believe that devils have real, personal forms as we have. That Lucifer was the high archangel in heaven, next to the Son of God in honor, and he is the head of the train of fallen angels with him. He could talk; [Gen. iii, 1.] and walk; [Job ii, 2; 1 Pet. v, 8;] and stand; [Zech, iii, 1;] and converse; [Matt, iv, 1-10;] contended with Michael; [Jude 9;] transformed himself into an angel of light. 2 Cor. xi, 14. The Devil and his angels are called the old serpent, the Devil, and Satan. Rev. xii. 9. Evil angels. Ps. lxxviii, 49. Evil spirits; Judg., ix, 23; 1 Sam. xvi, 14; Luke vii, 21; Acts xix, 12, 15. An unclean devil. Luke iv, 33. Unclean spirits. Zech. xiii, 2; Matt, xii, 43; Luke ix, 42; Mark i, 23,26; Acts viii, 7. Foul spirits. Luke ix, 25; Rev. xviii, 2. Seven devils cast out of Mary Magdalene. Mark xvi, 9. Seven spirits would enter in. Luke xi, 26. Whenever the spirits of devils influence any one, they can

73
properly be called the devil, as was the case with Judas. Jno. xiii, 27; and Peter. Mark viii, 33.
3.	THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL.
His first work on earth was to become a subtle liar, to deceive and murder our first parents in the garden of Eden.
Gen. iii, 4,13. Ye shall not surely die, serpent beguiled me.
Wis. of Sol. ii, 24. Through envy of the Devil came death.
Jno. viii, 44. He was a liar and murderer from the beginning.
Rev. xii, 9. Satan which deceiveth whole world.
1	Tim. ii, 14; 2 Cor xi, 3. Adam was not deceived, but the serpent beguiled Eve.
It has been the great work of Satan to lead the world into idolatry, to worship him.
Lev. xvi, 7. Shall not offer sacrifice unto devils Deut. xxxii, 17. They sacrifice unto devils and not to God.
2	Chron. xi, 15. Ordained priests for the devils. Ps. cvi, 37. Sacrificed their sons and daughters
unto devils.
1 Cor. x, 20. Gentiles sacrifice to devils, not God. Rev. ix, 20. Worship devils and idols of gold. Matt, iv, 9. Fall down and worship me; said the Devil to Christ.

The Devil deceives by becoming a familiar spirit; by pretending to be the spirit of the dead, when it is the Devil; by teaching the people that there is no Devil.

Mark v, 9,15. My name is legion for we are many. Here was a crazy medium; spirits speaking through him,We are many. It is a matter of doubt that any medium is clothed in their right mind. Mark ix, 22; Luke iv, 35; ix, 42. The spirits show physical strength, by throwing them down, casting them into the water, and possess people and make them 6ick, and may heal them.

THE BINDING OF SATAN.
Location of the bottomless pit.
Rev. xiii, 1. A beast rose up out of the sea.
Rev. xvii, 7, 8. Same beast ascends out of pit.
15. The sea or waters are peoples and nations.
xii, 9. Devil was cast into the earth.

Bottomless—without foundation or bottom. That is the case with the poor sin-cursed earth. It is “like a ball swinging in the air.” Job xxxviii,
6.	This is where he is bound.

Ex. xxi, 6; Deut. xv, 17. His master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him forever.
Jonah ii, 6. Jonah was in the fish forever.
Forever and ever lasts as long as the thing it is applied to lasts, and no longer. If it is applied to God it has no end. The Devil will be tormented, and then destroyed; for God will have a clean universe.
Remarks.
Having felt the necessity of something of this kind for a longtime, to use in connection with lecturing, so as to furnish those who hear with the many quotations used, that they maybe readily referred to, learned and repeated, that those who are interested may be established in the Present Truth, and be ready at all times to give the proof to every one that osketh them, a reason of our hope with meekness and fear, we have been induced for these reasons, together with the request of friends, to embody the principal texts of reference in this form.
We do net pretend to give the argument in this little work; those are given in our oral lecturos, and in the books published at the Review Office, Battle Creek, Mich.
