Holy Ghost, with light divine,
Shine upon this heart of mine;
Chase the shades of night away,
Turn the blackness into day.
Let me see my Saviour's face,
Let me all His beauties trace;
Show these glorious truths to me
Which are only known to Thee.
I. EVILS WHICH CAUSE TROUBLE AND GOD'S VENGANCE
A. Time: In the latter or last days (8d, 27,1 28, 31, 33, 38, 41, 47, 69, 84, 105, Ill. 160d, 200); after the
birth of Anti-Christ (36, 84. 106c, 119.132.188); near the second coming of Christ (20, 23, 32) ; or
more precisely after 1931 (147b); and when the Jews begin to return to God or to Palestine (53b) .
B. Extent: Evil will so abound and be so widespread that it will appear unsuppressable and provocative
of God's wrath. It will be a case of evil increasing from age to age so that at this time the good will
be very few. Christians, of course, offend like the rest (8d, 19c, 27a, b, 38, 48b, 58, 69, 70, 106c,
111, 114, 118, 132, 147, 153, 188).
C. Causes: False prophets,2 false Christs, scandalizers and seducers abound and have many followers;
hence false doctrines and fruitless discussions are numberless (5, 8d, 9b, f, h, 11, 16, 19d, 20, 26,
29, 30, 33, 53,. 58, 61, 111). These evil leaders seek to turn men from God with their shallow
arguments (9c. 25, 141); nor is this difficult for men really prefer error, heresy and lies (4b, 27, 70,
89, 106c). Evil spirits play their part (24. 27.61, 130, 135, 180, 185, 188b), and so does bad
literature (44b, 70) and unholy enterprises (63). There is no human protection for wise men are few
and silent since they would not be heeded (15, 41c, 70).
1 When no letter follows the number appearing in this index, the letter "a" is meant if more than one oracle bears the number.
2 Even if men work miracles or correctly forecast the future. they are. false prophets if they seek to turn man from God, so test them (2b, 19d, 29)
