« “Ye brethren are not in darkness”—that day hat not overtaken you as a thief, though it will thus overtake all the world. (1 Thess. 5:3, 4.) The thief-like work of taking the church is already in progress ; by and by it will be all completed, and shortly hereafter—1915—the kingdoms of this world, with all of their associated institutions, will go down in a climax of trouble such as the world has never known, because after gathering his bride class the Lord will execute judgments upon Babylon. » — Magazine : Zion’s watch tower and herald of Christ’s presence, Binding the strong man, June 1906, pages 165-167 [3784] § 5.
