shall be frightening signs in the
sky, and the sign of Christ in the
sky, and the DAY OF Goo's
WRATH shall have come--called
in many prophecies "the Day of
the Lord."
In the Matthew 24 account,
verse 29, "immediately after the
tribulation of those days shall"
come the signs in the sun, moon
and stars- the DAYOF THE LORO!
That will be the time of God's
super natur a l intervention in
world affairs.
Notice Joel 2:31: These signs
in the sky- in the sun , moon and
stars- shall come immediately
befare the Day of the Lord, but,
Matthew 24:29, immediately
aft–

the Great Tribula–
tion.
In Revelation, begin–
ning chapter
7,
the time
has come for Goo's
PLAGUES, but they shall
be delayed until God
seals those who carne out
of the Great Tribulation.
The following chapters in
Revelation, except the
inset chapters, continue
the DAY OF THE LORD,
to the COMING of Christ,
in chapter 19.
But an occasional sense of hu–
mor gives a certain rest and
change from the heaviness of
things as they are in this evil
world.
I had never had a dog as a
growing boy, or in all my adult
life-until we carne to our pres–
ent borne in Tucson, Arizona. My
two sons loved dogs, and my elder
son, Richard David , wben a little
boy, became very indignant one
day when he saw a dog whose tail
had been cut off.
"That's against the BIBLE!" he
exclaimed in earnest indignation.
" T he Bible says, 'What God has
joined together, Jet not man put
asunder!' "
Afghan. Already he has grown
into a huge dog-a real " he–
man's dog." Because he walks
like a lion, 1 suggested naming
him " Leo," and Richard liked
the name. Leo gnaws on a huge
bone, yet Sir Hans will take
possession of it when he
can.
This morning, as my wife and
1
were sitting on the veranda in
the early morning shade, Sir
Hans started digging up one of
Leo 's huge bones. Poor Leo
stood helplessly by-not a bit
happy, but seemingly not know–
ing what to do about it. Hans
took possession of the bone, to
Leo's discomfort.
The n shall come a

WORLD TOMORROW"–

but suffers the challenge of SirHans the dachshund.
These dogs do give us
an occasional bit of relax–
ing humor. But there is
yet one more dog that
enters occasionally into
our lives. My wife's
mother has a very small
poodle, Suzie. One Sab–
bath we were having a
Bible study in our family
room with a number of
guests. At the beginning,
as we all stood for prayer,
Suzie stood up, too, with
her front paws braced on
my pant Jegs.
Mrs. Armstrong is a
ruled by the KtNGDOM OF Goo–
a time of WORLD PEACE. Satan
shall be bound. Then ALL STILL
LIVING shall be called to salvation
and eterna! life. Those previously
truly converted (NOT including
the millions of DECEIVED "Chris–
tians") shall have been resur–
rected as immortal SPI RIT PER–
SONS, at Christ's coming.
This coming of Christ is shown
in Matthew 24 in verses 30 and
on.
In this " Personal," 1 have given
you a brief yet fairly complete
account of prophesied events
from now until Christ's coming–
and the HAPPY, PEACEFUL, GLO–
RIOUS WORLD TOMORROW.
Sir Hans Armstrong
In these serious days my mind is
filled with the things of God,
and the seriousness of the time.

But after coming to Tucson,
my wife acquired a very lovely
and lavable half Keeshond
named Ginger. La ter s h e
brought borne a very small little
pup, a pedigreed German dachs–
hund, with elongated body and
very short legs. She named him
Hans. This pup is now full
grown, still very smal l. But he is
now "Sir Hans Armstrong." He
is very important- in bis own
eyes. He is a deputy sheriff- he
wears a badge (hanging from bis
collar around bis neck). More–
over he owns our property here.
Despite bis importance, he is
very much still a spoiled baby. l
don't know whether he is hap–
piest when being c uddled on
Mrs. Armstrong's lap or gnaw–
ing on a bone.
Two or three months ago my
stepson Richard brought home a
large pup, half retriever and half
lover of animals. She
has two horses which she cares
for daily, even to shoveling ma–
nure. She scatters liberal portions
of birdseed every day under our
one patio tree, beside providing
pans and cu ps of water. The
birds flock to that tree and the
ground under it every day. She
even hangs up a cup of birdseed
and water accessible only to tiny
hummingbirds, who help them–
selves to it regularly. In a special
cage she keeps a pair of ferrets,
McGarrett and Fatima.
God has greatly blessed us in
our desert home here in Tucson's
perfect climate.
P.S .- Leo finally got bis big
bone back. Hans had to go "on
duty" barking at the laundry
man. In bis excitement, he
d ropped the bone, and as
1
write,
Leo is now contentedly enjoying
bis bone. We do have PEACE in
this home. o
