Yes, one way or another,

personally
am made very much aware of lile troU·

10
notice - and heed - sorne of the
numerous biblical propbecies roretelling
l.his very time.
Wben Ch.risl walked on Ibis
carth,
His
disciples asked Him
whm
the end
or
th.is
present agc would come and wbat sign
would signify it. This is really tbe pivotal
point - lbe center and lhe

firsl He wamcd lhem
or

and do–
ceiving the many - that is, thc world
as
a wbole. Duriog lhe firsl cenlury, the
gospel message Christ proclaimed bad
beeo sabotaged, and tbe wotld of that
time had · turned lo aoother gospel (Ga–
latians
1:6-9; 11
Corinlhians 11
:4).
Bul,
continued Jesus, " ... this' gospel or 1he
lcingdom [of God)
shaU
be preached in
all the world
(Or

The word "goopel"
means

lnstead a message aboul the MESS!NOER
was
proclaimed - but NOT
HIS

- NOT His OOSPEL (Ga.lat.ialls J

THAT

Following Jcsus' answer lo the sign
just prior lo Ibis cnd aod Chrisl's returo
10
earth, he foretold tbe TIME OF
TROUBLB Ibis worJd is

"For then," He said, just ancr lhe world·

ilesb be saved (alive): bul for the elcct's
salce those days_shaU be shortened"
(Matthew 24:21·22).
Nl!Vl!R have world cooditions beco
as
bad as they now are. We are rapidly
hcading into Ibis "GUAT TRlBUU.TION."
The ·propbet Jeremiah roretold i1 u
the time
O(
the great troubJe lO COme OD
Americ:a and lhe Britisb nations (Jer.
30). The propbet Daniel described it u
coming JUST BEFORE Cbrist's relum and
the "li.rst resurrection." "And al that
time shall Michael stand up, the great
prince which standel.h for the children of
thy people: aod there sbaU be a time or
trouble. sucb
as
oever was since lhere

a nation even to that same time;
and al that time thy pcople shaU

wrillen in the book. And many of l.hem
that sleep

the earth shall

everlasting life ..."
(Daniell2: 1·2).
Gtcal national PUNISHMENT is
(orc–
lol¡l for lhe British nations and lbe
Uniled Stales. Wuv? Let lhe prophet
lsaiah
answer. Speaking of our pcople,
the Etemal God says:
