The three leading dictators, Hitler, Stalin and Musolini are to become preeminent and continue with their work until the end of the aje, or the downfall of the present system. They will make the most destructive warfare on the British Empire and her Allies as they go forward. Germany will continue as she has begun. Russia will sweep southward with fury and initial success against the British life line. Italy will march on North Africa and take Egypt and then proceed into the Holy Land Success will seem assured for the agressors and numerous initial victories will be won with tremendous loss of life and destruction. America will not escape as the dictatorial forces are at work within this nation and will work much ruin and destruction. With it all there will be the inevitable economie collapse for all nations. But, as the scriptuies say so plainly, the battle is the Lord's and he will come to the rescue of the Israel nations and se that the tide is turned in their favor. Plain as light.
