Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Captain Judgment

"JUDGMENT, with his Ensign, Mr. TERROR, bearing the “red colors,” with the escutcheon of the “burning fiery furnace,” represents the soul self-convicted, self-condemned, in view of the sentence of the law. It was in view of something such as this that Israel did exceedingly fear and quake before the Mount. The “colors” of this dread Captain are “red” with blood—the blood of the slain. Therefore, when Paul reasoned of this “judgment,” Felix trembled."[2]
