T
HE WORLD
has sunk into a
complacent, indifferent slumber.
The world is getting used to
violence and war and threats of
war. The world has been drugged by a
new and unprecedented
prosperity-especially in the United
States, Europe and Japan.
T he wor ld is too busy enjoying this
newfound prosperity, basking in the
comfortable sunshine of luxury, to be mucb
concerned about the oncoming
NUCLEAR
World War 111 that
WILL,
unless prevented
by Almighty God, simply erase human life
from this planet!
Soft words and pretty speeches do not arouse
people out of this pleasant d ream.
lt
takes
ajo/t!
When we
do
attempt to warn our readers with words
strong enough to arouse, 1 anticípate letters saying:
"Cancel my subscription! That article frightened me."
Yes, lF YOU ARE TO CONTlNUE TO
LIVE,
you
need
to
be fri ghtened-enough to take the
action
that will
SAVE YOUR LlFE!
But, you say, what can 1 do? Well , there is
something you
must
do IF you are to escape the
agonies and probable terrifying death, of the
coming prophesied Great T r ibulation!
YES, YOU CAN ESCAPE ALL THlS!
That is what we are trying to make our l'eaders
understand!
God Almigbty
wi/1
intervene. He
wi/1
prevent
enti re cosmocide! But He will
not
intervene to stop
the carnage
until
man has come to the very end of
his rope! So long as man thinks he can save
himself, without God, the EternaJ wiJl let
him
go
on trying. God will not intervene until man's last
hope is gone. God will never allow man to accuse
Him, saying: "Your intervention was unnecessary
and tyrannical! We could have saved ourselves if
December 1981
you .had not used your arbitrary God-power to
intervene."
God's final last-minute intervention will
FOLLOW- not prevent- this
Great Tribulation that
will be World War
III .
But, 1 repeat,
vou
CAN
ESCAPE
ALL THlS!
It
is only those who
wi/1 not
heed who must go
through its agony. And remember-God is not
going to CAUSE it! MAN HlMSELF will bring it on.
But God will protect His own from it!
Jesus' young students- His disciples-came to
Him ·privately and asked
when•
the end of the world
would come, and what would be the sign of His
return IN POWER to rule all the earth,
in
peace.
These things, Jesus replied, must come first: a
false "Christian" religion, whose ministers would
falsely claim to be Christ's ministers, coming in
His name, deceiving the MANY. Then wars,
climaxing fi nally into world wars; then famines and
disease epidemics and increasing earthquakes.
Just
before
the end, He said,
His
true Gospel of God's
Kingdom would be preached in all the
world- not
to convert the world, but " for a witness"-AND
THEN, He said, shall the END of t his wor ld come!
All these things al ready have occurred-except
that we are now in a recess during the world
wars- between Wor ld Wars 11 and
III;
and that we
have so far had only the first forerunners of the
famine and disease epidemics and earthquakes.
T~se
shall increase greatly.
And, although Christ's own Gospel of the
Kingdom of God
has been golng out
since 1934,
through this very magazine and
The World
Tomorrow
broadcast, this message is just now
approaching t he climactic world-shaking POWER
t hat evidently is implied by the prophecy.
Then what?
"Then," continued J esus, "shall be GREAT
TRlBULATION," a time of violence, destruction and
death greater than anything that ever was, or ever
shall be! Jeremiah foretold it (J er. 30) . He
identified the nations
