AGES
Howthe
Seven Mysteries
Were
Revealed
We continue, with this second installment, the serial publication of
Herbert W. Armstrong's latest book
Mystery of the Ages.
T
HE
world's number one
concern today is the
question of human sur–
vival! Science and technology
have produced the weapons
of mass destruction t h at
could blast
al! human lije
off
this earth!
So many nations now possess
nuclear weapons that one mad–
man could ignite the nuclear
World War 111 that could erase
all human life from this planet.
Yet the truth of God, if known
and acted on, could have saved
humanity from this threat and all
its evils!
Stop a moment.
THINK on this.
You live in a world seemingly far
advanced in science, technology,
higher education and diffusion of
knowledge. People think it's a
world of GREAT PROGRESS. We
send men to cavort about on the
moon and return them safely back
to earth. Unmanned spacecraft
September 1985
land on Mars and send back to
earth close-up photographs of the
Martian surface. Other unmanned
spacecraft fly close to Jupiter and
send back astonishing pictures of
Jupiter and the rings of Saturo.
Surgeons transplant human hearts
and other organs.
It's a magic, entrancing push–
button world where work is done
largely by machines. It's the glam–
our dreamworld of the three
"Ls"-leisure, luxury and license.
But paradoxically, it 's also a
world of IGNORANCE! Even tbe
educated
know not
how to solve
their problems and the world's
evils. They
know not
the way of
PEACE Or tbe TRUE YALUES of life.
About one half of the world's
population is still illiterate, in the
grip of abject poverty, living in filth
and squalor. The grim reapers of
starvation and disease take human
lives by the millions.
lt's an unbappy, restless world in
frustration, staring a hopeless
future in the face. lt's a world rid–
den with escalating crime and vio-
lence, immorality, injustice (even
in
its courts of law) , dishonesty,
corruption in government and busi–
ness, aod continua! wars, pointing
now to the
final
nuclear World
War 111.
WHY this paradox of "PROG–
RESS" amid OEGENERATION?
God 's Truth Would Have Solved!
True religion-God's truth em–
powered wi th the love of God
imparted by the Holy Spirit–
would have pointed the way, and
led to happiness, abundance and
eternal salvation.
When you see what's wrong with
the world's religions, you'll have
pinpointed the
cause
of all world
evils!
What
is
religion?
It
is defined as
the worship of, and service to, God
or the supernatural.
lt
is man's
relation to bis Creator. Sorne reli–
gions have perverted that defini–
tion. They worship not the God
who created them, but gods tbat
they
have created. Religion in–
volves one's conduct, one's princi-
