Show MOMENTOUS TIMES from destiny magazine for december we quote para graphs which correspond with much we have said during past years to wit that although we are facing the most critical times this world has ever known the things to hap pen will be somewhat different in character and location we also believe there will be places where little or no destruction will be wrought and by the same token other places where almost total change will be experienced the article holds promise that is well worth considering excerpts of which follow many today are apprehensive of the future because they look forward with fear to the possibility of overwhelming devastation to overtake the world as result of the invention of the atomic bomb while it is true we live in the time of which jesus was speaking when he said that mens hearts would fail them for fear of what was coming upon the earth luke 2126 21 26 yet there is a note of hope for mankind in his remarks though our lord declared that men wo would uld be fearful of what might happen he did not state 4 that the possibility of total destruction would become a complete reality he could not do so for the covenants of god preclude a disaster involving the ruin of the whole earth as it has been visualized by some who suggest possible types of destructive weapons to be brought into being as the result of the discovery of the splitting of the atom that there will be fearful loss of life just prior to the establishment of his kingdom on the earth cannot be denied for all of the prophets as well as jesus refer to this our lord speaks of such a time of trouble that will be climactic as the present age draws to its close but the destruction is not to be absolute for god has set bounds beyond which evil men and nations will not be permitted to go god is going to restrain the wrath of men otherwise the earth itself would indeed be destroyed in a great devastating catastrophe another interesting reference from the same source verifies our opinion that mr roosevelt and leaders of other countries were men of destiny chosen to enact roles that would bring bout about the important changes chang es in their respective countries destiny magazine goes into detail comparing the length of time the roosevelt era lasted with other periods in ancient times which were important in biblical and prophetic history the article makes reference to a remark made by mr roosevelt when he stated after me the deluge and as pointed out in daniel we hagenow have now entered the deluge year it closes with the following paragraph often men in in public office unk unknown to themselves axe are used by god to coming events and evidently mr roosevelt was so used it will become more and more apparent as we move along into the coming months that we are indeed living in momentous times as the rising deluge of judgment of which he was speaking overwhelms the works and plans of men |
