(1 Corinthians 10:11) It must be presumed, then, that
these things would be understood at "the time of the end".
[410]The Lord's illustration of the sun rising in the east and shining
across to the west, which would occur at the time of his presence, is
further proof of the increased light at the time of his presence; and
true to prophecy, this has taken place. The laboring classes have always
been down-trodden and kept in subjection to the financial, ecclesiastical,
and political princes. It was in the year 1874, the date of our Lord's
second presence, that the first labor organization was created in the
world. From that time forward there has been a marvelous increase of
light and the inventions and discoveries have been too numerous for us to
mention all of them here, but mention is made of some of those that have
come to light since 1874, as further evidence of the Lord's presence
since that date, as follows: Adding machines, aeroplanes, aluminum,
antiseptic surgery, artificial dyes, automatic couplers, automobiles,
barbed wire, bicycles, carborundum, cash registers, celluloid,
correspondence schools, cream separators, Darkest Africa, disk ploughs,
Divine Plan of the Ages, dynamite, electric railways, electric welding,
escalators, fireless cookers, gas engines, harvesting machines,
illuminating gas, induction motors, linotypes, match machines,
monotypes, motion pictures, North Pole, Panama Canal, Pasteurization,
railway signals, Roentgen rays, shoe sewing machines, smokeless powder,
South Pole, submarines, radium, sky scrapers, subways, talking machines,
telephones, typewriters, vacuum cleaners, and wireless telegraphy.
