Terrorism
The article on terrorism in the
September issue of
The Plain Truth
put across in plain language the dan–
gers we face from terrorist groups
around the world. Here in Northern
Jreland we have seen how groups like
the Provisional IRA (PIRA) , the
Ulster Defence Association (UDA)
and the Ulster Volunteer Force
(UVF) can drive two communities
apart. Sorne way must be found to
bring terrorism to heel. May

finish
by quoting from a Northern Treland
magazine called the
Orange Stan–
dard:
"Many people placed their
·hopes in groups like the IRA and
UVF hoping that by doing so they
may realise their political views. They
now realise that by supporting such
groups they have only helped to bring
misery to countless thousands."

WHY? Approximately one third
of all the world's best seller is filled
with PROPHECIES- mostly foretell–

key
that unlocks prophecy to

That vital key has been found! But
because it is NOT the doctrine they
have been preaching, evangelical
theologians ridicule it .
That vital KEY is the identity of
the United States and Britain in
biblical prophecy.
Where is the United States
