How Will the Earth Recove r?
According to your teachings. Jesus
C hrist will personally intervene to cut
short the d ays of mass destruction
and immediately th ercafter will
establish hi s kingdom on earth. Then
the earth will be blessed with good

as in Western fashion. Woman is
respectcd as a human being, not as a
