“The battle of Armageddon will be fought.  And that day must find none of us sleeping.  Wide awake we must be, as wise virgins having oil in our vessels with our lamps.  The power of the Holy Ghost must be upon us and the Captain of the Lord’s host will stand at the head of the angels of Heaven to direct the battle.”  3SM:426.1.

 

“Four mighty angels hold back the powers of this earth till the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads.  The nations of the world are eager for conflict, but they are held in check by the angels.  When this restraining power is removed there will come a time of trouble and anguish.  Deadly instruments of warfare will be invented.  Vessels with their living cargo will be entombed in the great deep.  All who have not the spirit of truth will unite under the leadership of Satanic agencies, but they are to be kept under control till the time shall come for the great battle of Armageddon.”  7BC:967 (1900); LDE:238.3.

 

“Then I saw the four angels cease to hold the four winds.  And I saw famine, pestilence and sword, nation rose against nation, and the whole world was in confusion.”  7BC:968.

 

Form 6T:406 [see also the same in (MS 172, 1899); 7BC:982; and read RH, May 7, 1901], we read:  “The battle of Armageddon is soon to be fought, He on whose vesture is written the name, King of kings and Lord of lords, is soon to lead forth the armies of Heaven.”

 

From RH, May 7, 1901; LDE:249-250; 7BC:982-983 we read:  “Two great opposing powers are revealed in the last great battle.  On the one side stands the Creator of Heaven and earth.  All on His side bear His signet.  They are obedient to His Commands.  On the other side stands the prince of darkness, with those who have chosen apostasy and rebellion.”

 

Continuing on from 7BC:983 we read: “But providence has a part to act in the battle of Armageddon. . . the religious elements, good and evil, will awake from slumber, and the armies of the Living God will take the field. . . Satan is also mustering his forces of evil. . . to gather them under his banner, to be trained for ‘the battle of that great day of God Almighty.’ ”

 

“Four mighty angels are still holding the four winds of the earth.  Terrible destruction is forbidden to come in full.  The. . . winds will be the stirring up of the nations to one deadly combat, while the angels hold the four winds, forbidding the terrible power of Satan to be exercised in its fury until the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads.”  Mar:175.2.

 

And lastly we read:  “Every form of evil is to spring into intense activity.  Evil angels unite their powers with evil men, and as they have been in constant conflict and attained an experience in the best modes of deception and battle, and have been strengthening for centuries, they will not yield the last great final contest without a desperate struggle.  All the world will be on one side or the other of the question.  The battle of Armageddon will be fought, and that day must find none of us sleeping.  Wide awake we must be, as wise virgins having oil in our vessels with our lamps.”  Mar:257; 7BC:982; 8MR:347; 14MR:286-287; 1888M:761.
