In this victory, the seventh vial shall be poured out. It is said, Rev, xvi 16. of the great army that should be gathered together against Christ: "And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon:" and then it is said, "And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, it is done." Now the business is done for Satan and his adherents. When this victory is obtained, all is in effect done▪ Satan's last and greatest opposition is conquered; all his measures are defeated; the pillars of his kingdom broken asunder, and will fall of course. The devil is utterly baffled and confounded, and knows not what else to do. He now sees his Antichristian, and Mahometan, and Heathenish kingdoms through the world, all tumbling about his ears. He and his most powerful instruments are taken captive. Now that is in effect done which the church of God had been so long waiting and hoping for, and so earnestly crying to God for, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true?" now the time is come.
