Dr. Tucker Continues Teachings on Book of Revelation at Church

New York, 1925

Last evening, Dr. Tucker continued his teachings on the book of Revelation at the First Evangelical church, taking for his lesson the eight chapter.

"The first angel blew his trumpet," said Dr. Tucker, "and with the blowing of the first trumpet, judgment is brought upon things agricultural. Judgment falls upon the fields, horticultural and agricultural, and reduces the yield about one-third. See how very near famine you are. My God knows how to send a famine when He is ready.

"The next angel now sounds the trumpet, and this time judgment falls upon the aquatic, and the sea is touched by this judgment. A great meteor falls into the sea and turns its waters into blood. One-third of the fish die. With one-third of the fish dead and the sea itself a stinking mass, the ships are imperiled. One-third of the ships went down the bottom of the sea.

"The third angel sounds. Judgment falls upon things astronomic. The sun is reduced one-third its heat; the moon is reduced one-third. I tell you this old earth is greatly controlled by those heavenly bodies, and when God reduces them one-third look at the condition that exists.

"Another angel sounds. There is heard screams of an eagle. He cries, 'Woe, Woe, Woe!' three times. How could an eagle's scream be heard over the whole earth? If you had asked me ten or twelve years ago, I could not have answered you. I can now. The whole world is joined together by ether air waves. if man's voice can be carried by means of ether air waves, then an eagle's voice can.

"The fifth angel sounds. There was a great cloud of smoke, and out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth. They had tails like unto scorpions and there were stings in their tails, and their power was to hurt men five months, when nobody can die. I am telling the truth, for this book says, 'In those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it.

"Someone says, 'I want a God of love.' You have had Him. Look to Calvary. 'God so loved the world.' This world is dying because it has rejected love. A greater love hath no man than to give his life.

Sunday will be the last day Dr. Tucker and his party will be in Olean, and it is expected that the church will be crowded at all services.

Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock Dr. Tucker will hold children's service. Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Dr. Tucker will continue his lecture of last Sunday afternoon on the "World Map." Sunday evening the service will start at 7 o'clock instead of 7:30, as usual. The subject will be "The Greatest Question Ever Asked and Answered in This World."
