     Chapter 16

     The Apocalypse

     Blessed is he that readeth,
     and they that hear the words of this prophecy,
     and keep those things which are written therein:
     for the time is at hand.--Revelation.

     Great is the Lord,
     and greatly to be praised in the city of our God,
     in the mountain of His holiness.--Psalms.

   1      St. John writes, in the tenth chapter of his book of
     Revelation:--


   3  And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven,
     clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and
     his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of
   6  fire: and he had in his hand a little book open: and he
     set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the
     earth.


   9      This angel or message which comes from God, clothed
     with a cloud, prefigures divine Science. To mortal sense
     Science seems at first obscure, abstract, and

    The new
    Evangel

  12  dark; but a bright promise crowns its brow.
     When understood, it is Truth's prism and praise. When
     you look it fairly in the face, you can heal by its means,
  15  and it has for you a light above the sun, for God "is the
     light thereof." Its feet are pillars of fire, foundations
     of Truth and Love. It brings the baptism of the Holy
  18  Ghost, whose flames of Truth were prophetically de-
     scribed by John the Baptist as consuming error.
