ERE seeking to answer this question, which seems to be a perplexity to some, it might be well to state, as briefly as possible, what is meant by the period of judgment; as this paper will probably fall into the hands of some who as yet have given but little attention to prophetic teaching. In doing this it will be necessary to do little more than refer to a large number of passages of Scripture, many of which the lack of space will forbid quoting in full, but it is hoped the reader will refer to any that are unfamiliar to him.
