Even more disturbing is the growing prospect of NUCLEAR
TERRORISM--nuclear MASS MURDER by madmen bent on their own insane
goals! Many authorities believe that when the next nuclear bomb is used, it will
be
by terrorists and not by a national government.
The destructive capacity of nuclear bombs in terrorists' hands is a
growing
risk. It is a documented fact that uranium and plutonium--vital nuclear arms
materials--have been stolen, smuggled internationally and offered for sale.
One expert estimates that there is enough "material unaccounted for" at
American facilities alone to make more than 20 plutonium bombs and half a dozen
uranium bombs! Officials have no idea where this nuclear material is!
In addition to terrorist groups, experts fear that unstable regimes in
various
countries could also get the bomb. An unbalanced Third World dictator with a
nuclear device could kill millions of people. A new Stalin or Hitler in a major
nation would have the stockpiles to literally obliterate the entire human race!
The nuclear "genie" is out of the bottle! Events are even now impelling
the
world toward a time of cataclysmic destruction. It is time to awake to the
imminence of nuclear war and nuclear terrorism!
Now what does PROPHECY reveal actually WILL happen!
The one central prophecy in the New Testament is Matthew 24. Luke 21 and
Mark 13 are parallel accounts of the same prophecy of JESUS!
Just outside the temple at Jerusalem, Jesus' disciples were showing Him
the
buildings of the temple. He said the temple was going to be totally destroyed. A
little later, on the Mount of Olives they asked Him, "When shall these things
be?
and [another question] what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of
the
world?"
Jesus answered their first question first--because He knew that
destruction
of the temple was to occur in the latter part of their lifetimes.
"Take heed that no man deceive you," He said (Matt. 24:4). Actually the
temple was destroyed in A.D. 70. But many deceivers were to enter before then,
turning people to a different gospel (Gal. 1:6-7 and II Cor. 11:3-4 and 13-15),
and
so Jesus warned that no man deceive them--the apostles. "For" Jesus said, "many
shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many" (Matt.
24:5).
Even down to TODAY, gospel preaching going out to all the world says that
JESUS is the Christ--that is their message. But it is their message, not
Christ's.
Christ's MESSAGE was His GOSPEL. Ever since A.D. 70 gospel preaching has
been the message of PREACHERS and EVANGELISTS ABOUT Christ, but not
