(Happenings Ahead) Denials of the Last Days — Willie Mullan

The Church’s Future Events and the Individual Christian

And I've called it, Happening Ahead, From Now to Eternity. We're going to think for the next month to come. I suppose it will take us nearly twelve months to run through this. We're going to deal with every major event ahead for the Church.

Thinking about every major event ahead for the Church. Where the Lord will come for the Church. And she'll rise to meet Him in the air. Then the Judgment Seat and the Married Supper of the Lamb and all the details.

Because we're not only going to think about the details ahead for the Church, but we're thinking about the individual Christian. Some great details for us to face individually. You know, the Laodicean Church, the last of the sudden spoken to in the book of the Revelation, it's true that the Lord begins the message speaking to the Church.

I know thy works and all the rest of it. But He ends the message by knocking at the door and saying, If any man, it comes down to the individual. And I believe that's the day we're at. The Lord's looking for men and women to trust Him and to obey His word.

And to look at the major events for the Church, for the Christian, for the Christless. If sometimes we get dear unsaved friends who come to the meeting, we have businessmen here, and I know this, and they won't mind me saying this, that when they get their new daddy at the beginning of the year, they rate off all the Tuesdays.

They're not saved. But all the Tuesdays past, they're going to the Bible class. And we wouldn't like them to go to hell when it's finished. We'd like to see them saved. I'm responsible for talking to them, and I'll clear my blood.

And the talk to the Christless at times in these Bible classes, the Christian, the Christless, the Church, the Catholic. And I'm talking about the Roman Catholics. This book's got a lot of things to say about Rome.

We've got to get them out of this book we're going by. The Catecholist and the Communist. There we've got a long way to go, but I believe that God will bless us. Now, we're starting off tonight by looking up the last days, and I mean the last of the last days of the Church dispensation.

You know, I believe that now, just at this psychological second, I believe that we're in the very last of the last days of Church history. Now, I've got to prove that. It is no use me saying. I've got to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt tonight, from the Word of God, that we are in the last.

And I would say the very last of the last days. I've got to prove that. And we're going to prove that by looking up the dispensation of the last days, looking up the last days when we think of Israel, the Jewish nation, and thinking of the last days as referring to the Church.

I think we've got to see this very clearly, because I believe that some scholars have made mistakes here. And then we're going to look up the dignity of the last days for Israel, and the degeneracy of the last days for Christendom.

“These Last Days” in Hebrews and the Message of Christ

And then I'll come to my proof. You know, the last of the last days, they're full of denials. Denials of this and that and the other. There's something that I want to tidy up, and I want to show you that first of all.

If you go to Hebrews chapter 1, remember in the Bible readings we make the Bible do the work. Hebrews chapter 1, this is the only book in the New Testament that begins with the word God. Hebrews 1 verse 1.

A God who at sundry times and in diverse manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets. I think you want to underline the little phrase, in time past. And you can see that God was speaking in time past.

God spake. And you can see who he was speaking to. He was speaking unto the fathers. Because when we get the word fathers just like that, you know it's the Jewish race. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and so on.

And he was speaking unto the fathers by the prophets. Of course, if you take Peter preaching in the house of Cornelius, you will know that unto Christ gave all the prophets witness. So that God was speaking in time past about his son to the Jewish nation through the prophets.

But do you notice how it follows on? God who at sundry times and in diverse manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken unto us by his son. Now it's quite true that this whole dispensation of the church can be called the last days.

Quite true. It is true and you must see. You look back at the other dispensations, you call it in time past. God was speaking about his son through the prophets to the fathers. And you call this dispensation in these last days.

I think we've got to get that because his phrase, the last days, it comes in different senses in the New Testament. And there is a sense that before us just now that the whole dispensation of the church period is called the last days.

And it's good for the young preachers here to note that in these last days God is speaking through his son. My dear young preacher, the message is Christ. Don't you miss it. You're going out preaching, remember you're going out preaching Christ.

And you've got plenty of scope, you needn't be afraid. Because you can start away before the foundation of the world and you can see the eternal son of the selected one. Chosen, the Lamb chosen. You can take a night on the sent one because the son was the sent one, the Father sent the Son.

And you can take a night on the suffering one because he became the suffering one. And he rose again as the saving one, he's the living savior. And he's the shepherd, he's the great shepherd of the sheep.

And he's the sovereign who will reign where 'er the sun. But that's the message of the dispensation. Now in one sense it is perfectly true that the whole dispensation is called these last days. But there's another sense that we've got to see this.

Let's go to 2nd Peter for a moment. 2nd Peter, and we'll come back to this this evening because this is one of the denials. But I just want to fix something for you. Peter's writing to these Jews that are scattered abroad throughout Pontius and so on.

And he's saying to them in 2nd Peter chapter 3 verse 3, Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts and saying where is the promise of his coming.

Now you'll notice exactly how he sees it. This, knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days. You know he's walking on dung heaps that lies ahead. And there shall come. And he's using the phrase, in the last days, as meaning the last of the last days.

And I think you can see that very clearly. Yes, I believe that we'll prove tonight that these are the very days we're in. We'll get round to the scoffers in a moment. But I think that we want to see these distinctions very clearly.

You'll find it many times coming before you once you get it pointed out to you that it comes again and again in different forms. But we want to see the distinction more clearly of the last days for Israel and then compare that with the last days of the church.

The Dignity of Israel’s Last Days in Isaiah 2

Now that's a very important one. Let me take you back into the Old Testament to the prophecy of Isaiah. And at the 2nd chapter please. The prophecy of Isaiah and at the 2nd chapter. Now we want to take this very carefully here, phrase by phrase.

Isaiah chapter 2. The word that Isaiah the son of Amos saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And you know when we talk about Judah like that we're talking about the two tribes that were left when the ten tribes are divided from them.

You remember Israel got into the land. Joshua led them in. The twelve tribes were there. But after the time the nation divided into two kingdoms. And there was what was called the northern kingdom with ten tribes and the southern kingdom with two tribes.

Sometimes the northern kingdom was called Israel. Sometimes the southern kingdom was called Judah. Northern kingdom had a royal city in Samaria. And the southern kingdom had a royal city in Jerusalem.

And you know the prophet is getting a vision of the royal kingdom, the real kingdom, reigning in Jerusalem in the last days. I want you to get the hold of this. This is what he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

And it shall come to pass in the last days. The last days of who? The last days of Judah, the royal tribe, the royal kingdom in Jerusalem. It comes to pass in the last days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills.

And all nations shall go into it. What a day it is. There is not very many months back since they burned the mosque, Janda, in Jerusalem. The top of the hill it is, if you like. I would like to say who was responsible really for burning it was a young fellow doing a couple of years for it now.

But it's burned and it's gone. And if my information is right, Israel is preparing to build a temple on the very spot. In fact I'm told that they're preparing stones just now to build that temple. And in the last days of that nation, that house shall be built and all the nations of the world will go there.

It says, many people shall go and say, come ye and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us of his way. We will walk in his path, for out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Now don't be spiritualizing it now, as Jerusalem happens to mean Jerusalem in this passage. What's this? And he shall judge among the nations. And when it says nations, he means nations. And shall rebuke many people.

And you don't work that into heaven, do you? Some of the spiritualizing boys says, Jerusalem, heaven here. Ah well, they must be rebuking them in heaven. Oh no. No, no. It says he shall rebuke many people.

And they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations shall not lift up swords against nations, neither shall they learn war any more. You know, these are the last days of the nation of Israel.

Oh, you can see the dignity of the nation. My, the nations will come to worship there, and the Lord will be king, and the nations on earth will learn war no more. Not there yet, are we? I can tell you if you were in Israel at this moment, they're doing the very reverse.

They're not putting their swords into pruning hooks tonight. It may be that they're putting the pruning hooks into swords tonight. They're preparing for war just now. And that's a far bigger preparation than what the nations imagine.

You know, it's only a small strip of land of any bigger of a lobster if you take it yard by yard. And yet they're throwing their weight out against the world at this moment. I don't need to go into this now.

We'll come to that by and by. That's just the dignity of the last days for Israel. But if you compare that with this, let's go to Paul writing to Timothy, 2nd Timothy, and the 3rd chapter, 2nd Timothy, chapter 3.

Paul writing to Timothy said, verse 1, 2nd Timothy 3, verse 1, This know also that in the last days... That's the phrase again, isn't it? The same phrase. In the last days, perilous times shall come. Aye, I think it's got to do with the church, of course.

Somebody said to me once, are you sure it's for the church? Yes, I'm very sure. I'll be reading on in a moment or two. But I only want you to get the distinction between the last days for Israel and the dignity that that nation will have when all other nations come there to worship, and the deep generosity that's in Christendom in the last days of the church.

Because you know, there are going to come perilous times for the church. I think we're really there. You'll find out when we expand this in a moment that these perilous times shall come for men. For men.

That's why the perilous times shall come. For men. You'll see at the end of verse 2, they're unholy men. You'll see at the end of verse 3 that they're despisers of those that are good. You'll see in the middle of verse 2 that they're blasphemers.

But these blaspheming unholy men who despise those that are good want to have a form of religion. Oh, they'll have to have a form of religion. Unholy characters want a form of religion. The world's full of them.

And I'll tell you what Paul says to the church. From, cut, turn away. That's why I know it to the church. He's got to turn away from this. That's not unity, you know. That's separation. That's what that is.

Get out. That's what that says. Yes, I think that you can see these terms now. And you've got to always distinguish between the phrase these last days covering the whole dispensation and the last days of Israel in all her glory and the last days of the church in perilous time.

The man who cannot see the distinction, I'm afraid I can't help him. But I want to prove tonight that we as the church of Jesus Christ on earth and when I say the church of Jesus Christ on earth I'm talking about every believer.

I know there are believers everywhere. Believers in the Methodists. Believers in the church of Ireland and England. Believers in the Presbyterians and believers in the Baptist, the Brethren and in the Roman Catholics.

Yes. I know a young fellow who is a grocer who was taking a box of groceries into the convent in Richmond some time ago. All hearty he was. Great meeting on Sunday. It was Monday morning and he's singing the hymns.

Whistling he was. How sweet the name of Jesus sounds. An old nun passing him in the corridor said that's a lovely hymn you're whistling. He said do you know that hymn? She said son I not only know the hymn I know the one the hymn speaks of.

My he nearly dropped the groceries. Just didn't believe it could happen you know. He laid them down and said try to tell me that you know the Lord. He said son look I'm 73 years of age and when I was 70 I got saved.

I have nowhere to go. I have no friends. I'll stay here and teach the young ones. I'll be one or two turn ups out of the Roman Catholics too. Praise the Lord. The Lord will have great glory in heaven you know when blacks and whites and reds and yellow and Protestants and Catholics and Orange Man and Hyperion all go marching in together through the blood of the Lamb.

What a day it will be. Yes. I think that you can see these distinctions all right. But I want to prove tonight that we're in the very last of these last days of the church in the very last of the last days.

Denials of Christ’s Existence and Second Coming

Now let me show you a few phrases about the last days and things that we should be looking out for. We go to 1 John. 1 John and that's the second chapter please. 1 John chapter 2 and down there at verse 18 John uses this phrase again and again little children.

You'll notice when the chapter starts it starts with this phrase verse 1 my little children. These may well have been some whom the apostle had led to the Lord himself but he called them little children and at the end of the chapter in verse 28 he says and now little children abide in him.

But do you notice what he says in verse 18 little children. It is the last time and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come even now are there many Antichrists whereby we know that it is the last time.

Verse 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ. He is Antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son. Now if you turn the page to chapter 4 you'll get more news. Verse 1 it changes the endearing phrase from my little children to beloveds.

Beloveds believe not every spirit but try the spirits whether they are of God because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the spirit of God. Every spirit that conceiteth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.

And every spirit that conceiteth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of Antichrist whereof ye have heard that it shall come. You know this is one of the things we should be looking for in the last days.

You know there are men going to arrive false prophets of course they're going to deny that Jesus Christ ever existed. They will deny, this is one of the denials. That's what it says here. Yes they will deny that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.

They will deny the reality and the humanity and even the history of Jesus Christ. It is yesterday morning's paper news letter. It is what's on it, you can nearly read it from the far end. Big letters.

Christ was a mushroom mist. Callers, huh? Want to put the question mark behind that? Callers will say it. It is what this character says. The life of Christ His crucifixion and resurrection are all part of the mist.

Christ represented the mushroom which paid a fleeting visit to his followers on earth. And he has a whole theory about Christ being a mushroom. His head's a mushroom. I wonder if the letter fell on that block above.

It should lock that boy up and I'll tell you more about this. This fellow has lectured in Manchester University for the last 20 years on the Old Testament. Got about 4 ,000 pounds a year for lecturing on something he didn't believe.

He's a fraud to begin with. My, no wonder they never sent me to a university. Praise the Lord. Let the thought that calls the heart. This fellow says Christ's a myth. It's all baloney. There was no Christ.

None at all. There never was a Christ. John said a good while before us that this is the spirit of Antichrist and it will come in the last days. That's what John said. You know, I wonder that they get off with this and nobody challenges them.

There's a great historian and I know that there are many historians in this meeting some of them from Poole. When it comes down to history I know that you can beat me every time. Because I don't know too much about it.

I only need to know this book to defend myself and that's quite sufficient sword for me. But I know and you know that there was a historian called Clement of Rome and he wrote his great history at the end of the first century.

And mind you in that century Christ died somewhere A .D. 33 or maybe 36. And it is said that Clement of Rome talked to John the Apostle. He talked in his history about speaking to John the Apostle. He didn't protest to be Christ's follower but he wrote the history of his time.

And he wrote about Christ living and preaching and dying and the talk of his rising again. Does this cleric here at Manchester say that this other fellow is a liar? I don't think he would have got off with lies like that at the end of the first century.

And I'll tell them this. That in A .D. 100 the fold-up folds were complete in Alexandria. They were there. Trying to tell me that such are men like Peter and men like Mark and Luke and John. Trying to tell me that these men concocted the fiction and got it over to the people and turned the whole world upside down by a table.

Is that what that character is trying to get over to me? I think a pity of him. I really think a pity of him. He's trying to say that historians are liars. Why has he even looked at his calendar? It's written before Christ, B .C. A .D. after Christ after David.

Trying to tell me that the governments of the world are mad. Historians are liars. Trying to tell me that the countless thousands yea millions and I say the word carefully who have had an experience of being delivered amid you creatures drunken, mid-common.

Horrid, mid-pure liars, mid-truthful.

Trying to tell me it's all baloney? And then there's mushrooms. God pity them, they could feed them on mushrooms from this to the end of eternity. I wonder if they put up with it. What are the universities and the nation and all the rest of it doing?

Tell me, is this where their tax money goes to? God help us. No wonder some of the fellows at the university have a riot now and again. Because that's who's teaching. Sometimes we get the kids' story all wrong.

If I was listening to your boy like that every day I know what I would do with him. It would be worse than a riot I'm afraid. Yes, but this is a fact for us tonight. This is a fact. This is one of the things that's going to come in the last days.

John could see the foreshadowing. Here it is in our yesterday morning newsletter. Monday the 18th it's dated. On the top line. You'd think you were helping me out in the class. Yes. Oh, it's the last day though.

It's the denial of the very existence of Christ. Have a look at this one. We were at it a moment ago. 2 Peter 3. Let's do it properly this time. Verse 1. This second epistle, beloved. You can see that he's writing to the saints.

I now write unto you in those which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the Holy Prophet. You know he's trying to so stir up their minds that they'll really pay attention to what has been said in the Old Testament.

He's trying to stir up their minds that they may remember and be mindful of the words which were spoken by the Holy Prophet. And of the commandment of us, the apostles, of the Lord and Saviour. He's combining Old Testament and New Testament and he's commending it to their memory.

Pay attention, he says, and remember. Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days a couple, mark the words chosen by the Spirit, walking up to their own life and saying, where is the promise of his coming?

Yes, we're denying not only the very existence of Christ but we've got the crowd around us who denies the coming of Christ. Of course you could get plenty of material to support this, couldn't you? My, there's a whole crowd and they don't believe that he's coming through the air to take his waiting people home at all.

They don't believe that. Don't believe in the rapture of the church. They don't think that Christ will come and that we will go. All crowded. But I want you to notice exactly what is said here. Watch it very carefully now.

You'll notice that they're all softened. Notice the little faith walking after their own lust, of course, put in by the Spirit also. They're all selfish. It's self that to the forefront scoffers. And it's all self.

And they're saying, where is the promise of his coming? You know, they're not asking us to find the text where it says Christ's coming. No, no, they're not tackling that sort of thing. They would know that I could go back to John 14 and find the Lord saying to his disciples, If I go, I will come again.

They would know I could get that. They would know that I could go to the Mount of Olives as Christ ascended and I could hear the two men in white saying, These angelic beings have appeared suddenly. This came, Jesus shall so come.

They would know I could find that. They would know that I could go to 1 Thessalonians 12, 10, The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with us up. No, they're not asking me where is the promise in the Word.

But watch what they're asking. And saying, where is the promise of his coming? For since the Father fell asleep. You know, that phrase put in there like that, that tells me that these are Jews. That's where they are, you know.

Of course, that's who Peter is writing to. He's writing to these saved Jews. And he's telling them that some of the Orthodox unsaved Jews are going to come in the last days and they're going to question Christ's return.

Of course, they're saying, where is the promise of his coming? For since the Father fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. Mind you, while they're scoffers and searches up and most, they know that this great wonderful world of ours didn't come by evolution.

Word creation, they're using. From the beginning of creation. Yes, they got that bit all right. Then Peter puts in a very wonderful phrase, for this they willingly are ignorant of. Isn't that a very wonderful phrase?

You know, he's not just saying that they're idiots. No, he's saying this, they're willingly ignorant of. You know, when some people want to argue and criticize and scoff, they have to shut their eyes to things they know.

And that's what I call subtlety. And they're scoffers and selfish and subtle. And they're abominable clouds of worthlessness. That's what they are. And they're all around us in these last days, let me tell you that.

All around us. And this is coming sick and fast in these days. Oh yes, there are men now in the pulpits who are thirsty, trying to come, trying to spiritualize it into some sort of glorified generation.

No, the church is going to end in peril this time, sir. That's when it's going to end. But when he says this, he says, for this they willingly are ignorant of. That by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water.

Now that's Genesis 1. That's exactly what that is. Don't make any mess of that there. Whereby the world got landmarked, being overflowed with water, perished. That's no sludge that I've now. Don't get those two waters mixed up there.

And then he says, but the heavens and the earth which are now, right up to this very moment, now is the word. By the same word our captains thought, reserved unto fire. Tragic. God's going to burn the lot.

Don't make any mistakes about this. When we get into this a little bit further, seeing things ahead, I'll tell you, you'll know a thing or two about atomic energy when you see it in the scripture. God's going to burn it.

My, the very heavens will roar like a skull, and the elements will melt with fervent heat. The church will not be here, sir. Help me here. He says this, but, beloved Jesus, but, to talk to me, saints, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

The Lord is not flat concerning his promise. This is what they were questioning, where is the promise? The Lord is not flat. As some men count flatness. But his long-suffering, I want you to get the next phrase correct, to us was, who's we are?

How we ever left, you know. You know, the Lord has his hand upon the door, and he's ready to come. You know what's keeping back? Murder's a few mere left to be gathered in, and his long-suffering to us was.

To us. And when the last one was gathered in, he comes. You know, when you kneel with a sinner, like the big fellow on Sunday night, who shook in his shoes, who crossed his hands together in the tears in his eyes, and called on the Lord Jesus to save him.

Man, it could have been the last one. The Lord will come. Oh, the questions answered. The denial. The very existence of Christ. And then on the other hand, the denial. The very coming of Christ. It's all wrong.

Laugh at me. I know best to see a minister that I could name. Only he's a believer, and I wouldn't take it up. He says, you know, Mr. Mozart must. Well, I was half-mad before I was saved, so I don't worry too much.

I have the book in my hand, and he doesn't know it. And he wouldn't be able to carry this meeting on for a full night. Ten minutes of Sunday morning would do him. Yes, he can't compete with the truth.

So he starts on the personality. So don't worry me, you know. Don't get to thinking that they worry me. They don't worry me, those fools. Now, let's get the hold of this. We're trying to prove that we're in the very last of the last days before we get the series off the ground at all.

And in the last of the last days, they'll deny the very existence of Christ within the paper yesterday. And they will deny the very coming of Christ. You could get a thousand instructions. Here's one that we want to look at very carefully.

Perilous Times and the Moral Decline of Christendom

Let's go back to 2 Timothy and have another look at it. And it's that third chapter. I will do it carefully this time. He's writing to Timothy, you know. And he's been teaching this young believer who was a son of his in the faith.

He was teaching him quite a lot of things, and when he got them all over to him, he said, This know also, is something else I want you to take note of, that in the last day, perilous times shall come.

It was the way ahead of Paul. He was about to lay his head on the block here. Yet he's looking ahead. Perilous times shall come. Thought of teaching and warning Timothy. And then he lets him know where these perilous times shall come from.

They'll come from men. From men! And then you would wonder why all these words are here. You know, he describes these men so fully, and when the Holy Ghost describes men like this, you have to take note.

First of all, if you look at it very carefully, he shows us the thought life of these men who are going to bring perilous times to the church. Here are their thoughts. Lovers of their own selves. Just go about dreaming about themselves.

Covetous, with their eyes on certain things. He therefore, hurdy, high-minded. It shows you the thought life. And then if you look again at these words, you will find their social life is described. It says, they're boasters, panned up in boats.

They're proud, blasphemous. What a terrible word. They're for lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. You can see their social life. And then if you look closely at it, you not only see their thought life and their social life, you see their home life.

If they're unmarried, they're disobedient to parents, unthankful. If they're married, without natural affection for their home life. But if you look at it very closely, these men, you not only see their thoughts and their social life and their home life, but they seem to have some place in the government.

Because they're truth-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fools. Yes, you can see their thought life and their social life and their home life, their governmental life. Have a look at their religious life.

First of all, the word unholy is there. And then, of course, the word blasphemer is there. And then it says, having a form of godliness. And then it says, despisers of those that are good. You know, we're going to have trouble in the last days.

Because we're going to have a lot of these fellows around us who love themselves and who love pleasure more than they love God. And they're going to get a certain amount of power. And they're going to look down their nose at the goody-goodies, as they call them.

We take the fans for Christ. They don't like this thing. They want to have a form of godliness. Of course, they want to still remain unholy and blasphemers and despise those that are good. Because if you're going to have a form of godliness, a religion, and you're going to have unholy men in it, and blasphemers, and you're going to despise those that are good, you can't have Christ.

So it says that they're having a form of godliness, but denying the power. There, they don't want the power of Christ. You can't have that. This is where the ecumenical movement is heading for. My, there are a lot of old reptiles in that ecumenical movement.

And they're wanting to build up a big fancy world church. And these unholy clowns and blasphemers and those that despise those that know Christ, they want to have this form. But they don't want the power.

Oh, don't all the leftists have that? Of course, they don't. They'll likely have this fellow that writes this book of some sort of care. Now, he would do all right. Yes, tell me this. Are we in the wrong?

Are men denying the existence of Christ? Are men questioning the coming of Christ? Are men wanting to build a church without the power of Christ, the holy power? Christ went about doing good. How can a blasphemer build a religion?

You know, sometimes when we talk about the Pope of Rome, some of us who have been brought up Protestants, we just sort of push it to the side. Now, let me say something very carefully, and don't get off on the wrong foot.

I think that the ecumenical movement and its leaders at this moment are having great trouble with Pope Paul. He's giving them what for? On certain issues. Certain issues. You know, he wrote an encyclia against the pill.

And let me tell you, it was the best bit of writing I've ever seen on the pill. And I read every word of it, very carefully. But some of the Romans got up against him, you know. And they're beginning to find out now.
