Showdowns Ahead
In the coming months, look for
growing left-r ight confrontations
ins ide West ern E urope and the
ent ire A tlantic A lliance, especially
over the issue of nuclear arms.
In the meantime, also look for
happiness and fi nd it. Life wi ll be
continuously interesting and invig–
orating . T here will be world peace.
There wi ll be universal prosperity.
But
I
am not naive enough to
suppose t hat this utopía wi ll blos–
som forth automatically, through
the imminent acceptance of t hese
t ruths by all mankind . T his coming
u topía does not depend on the plan–
ning or doing of men.
It
wi ll be
produced
in spite of men.
The greatest event of all history
will be the coming of the
living
J esus
Christ again to earth. But this time,
he is not coming as the gent le young
man from Nazareth, bringing the
announcement that led to his flog–
ging and death at the hands of angry
men. J esus Chr ist rose from the
dead . He went to the throne of the
government of the vast universe to

wi ll know something of t he meaning
of
"the power and the glory"!

influential leaders to move ahead
on certain options of thei r own, j ust

A
TO's
nuclear deterrent s tructure, based
upon American and Br itish forces,
weakens st ill fu r ther.
Almos t alone in Europe, France
has been spared public con troversy
over nuclear weapons. Its govern–
ment announced, in fact , t hat it has
decided to go ahead with produc–
tion of a neutron bomb.
At the same time, it has been
revealed t hat t he governments of
F rance and West Germany a re
cooperating more tban ever before
in the coordinat ion o f their defense
policies, including greater coordi–
nation on nuclear st rategy.
As the pages of
The Plain Truth
have announced for years, watch
for an eventual aJternati ve- t he
formation of a Western Eu rope
unified pol itically and militar ily.
As Herr S trauss envisions it: " A
United States of Europe wit h its
own nuclear deterrent." .
The decline of t he rel iabil ity of
t he American " nuclear umbrella,"
as well as the smaller-scale British
deter rent fo rce, wi ll make such a
policy seem to European leaders to
be necessary for Europe's own sur–

He will come wit h

that created the uní–

He is coming to crush every gov–

into powder! He is coming as the
King of ki ngs, ruling over
ALL

He is coming to
change human

He is coming to enforce the
WAY
of outgoing concern, or !ove, of giv–
ing, serving, s hari ng, helping,
instead of grasping, taking and self–
centered ness.
He is coming to abolish war,
competi tion, s tr ife and violence. He
is coming to inaug urate a universal,
right education. He is coming to
clean up th is fi lthy earth . He is
coming to restare t he government
of God as the all -powerful world
