I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the adulterers. —Mal. 3:5, AS.

Christendom has paid no attention to the definition of religion, which means not only caring for widows and orphans but also keeping oneself without spot from the world. We cannot compromise with the enemy and strike up friendships with this world and remain unspotted, uncorrupted, and free with the freedom which only the truth can give. Christendom's moral, social and spiritual condition today proves that to us. She bartered away her independence and her hopes of becoming Christ's bride by becoming instead the church of the political state, the Roman empire. Such spiritual adultery meant enmity with God. Shortly it is to bring upon Christendom the penalty like that prescribed for harlots and adulterers in God's law to ancient Israel. So, at Armageddon she will be the first to be destroyed, like an adulterous organization that has apostatized from God. W 11/1
