places or things in <strong>the</strong> scriptures. 1st, It is applied<br />
<strong>to</strong> Paradise, where St. Paul was taken in vision (2<br />
Cor. 12:2-4). 2nd. To <strong>the</strong> region of <strong>the</strong> sun, moon,<br />
and stars (Gen. 1:8-17). 3rd. To <strong>the</strong> atmosphere<br />
which encompasses this earth, in which <strong>the</strong> fowls<br />
of heaven fly (Rev. 19:17-18). And 4th, To <strong>the</strong><br />
church of God on earth (Rev. 14:6-7). It cannot be<br />
Paradise, nor <strong>the</strong> region of <strong>the</strong> heavenly lights,<br />
nei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> church of God on earth, that is <strong>to</strong> be<br />
shaken and rolled <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r as a scroll: <strong>the</strong>refore, it<br />
must be <strong>the</strong> air around <strong>the</strong> earth, in which <strong>the</strong> fowls<br />
of heaven fly.<br />
"And <strong>the</strong> seventh angel poured out his vial in<strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> AIR; and <strong>the</strong>re came a great voice out of <strong>the</strong><br />
temple of heaven from <strong>the</strong> throne, saying, It is<br />
done." (Rev. 16:17)<br />
We may now see that it is <strong>the</strong> seventh vial, and<br />
voice of God, which will shake <strong>the</strong> powers of <strong>the</strong><br />
heavens, and cause <strong>the</strong> great earthquake or <strong>the</strong><br />
shaking of <strong>the</strong> earth: and that this event constitutes<br />
<strong>the</strong> last literal sign, just before <strong>the</strong> sign of <strong>the</strong> Son<br />
of man appears in heaven.<br />
