But what am I doing? Whilst I talk about the cargo, the vessel itself founders. He that letteth  7 is taken out of the way, and yet we do not realize that Antichrist is near.

Text:  "So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. ... And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth." Revelation 17:3-5,9 Quote: 12.
