"By 'oppression' (mentioned in the Bible prophecies) is meant the want of capacity to acquire spiritual knowledge and apprehend the Word of God." (Iqan 32) "Such a condition as this is witness in this day when the reins of every community have fallen into the grasp of foolish leaders, who lead after their own whims and desire. On their tongue the mention of God hath become and empty name; in their midst His holy Word a dead letter." Book name not found Page 29 . (25:8)
