Many of the most important signs of the Lord's coming have already been fulfilled. For example:
1. The political developments of Daniel's visions have apparently all occurred...
2. The predicted "falling away" has long ago begun, and the man of sin has sat in God's temple already the full time of the prophetic cycle, and the process has begun to consume and destroy unto the end.
3. The Mohammedan power has waxed and waned, and the waters of this great spiritual Euphrates are being dried up every day to prepare the way of God's kingly people.
4. The Jewish signs have not been less remarkable. Jacob is turning his face again to Bethel, and Jerusalem... Her sons are slowing returning, while jealous nations... fulfilling unconsciously the voice of prophecy. (much of this section is illegible on the ereader).
