Source passage
Source text · mention onlyThis he considered to be a very important sign, indicating that we were on the very brink of the _judgment day_. Here he introduces Rev. xvi. 12. "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great River Euphrates; and the waters thereof were dried up, that the way of the kings of the earth might be prepared." This preparation, Mr. M. says, is for the last great battle, which will take place at the pouring out of the seventh vial, in the year 1839 or 1840. "At the pouring out of the seventh vial, a voice from the throne will pronounce the words, _It is done_. The kingdoms of the earth and the governments of the world will be carried away, and their places be known no more." But these kingdoms still remain.
