reply was both interesting and instructive. He said that the ice cap on the Arctic was
receding rapidly while the ice caps on the Antarctic had an overload.
That being so, he said, no person on earth could foretell what effect such explosions
might have on the earth's position in space, nor what would result from it. Try throwing
a ball far with a wad of gum stuck to one side of it and watch its erratic course and draw
your own conclusions. Now let us turn to the Word as given to the great Hebrew prophet
Isaiah, chapter 24:1. `Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and
turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof'. Verse 3 `the land
SHALL be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for the Lord hath spoken this word. The
earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the
laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant'. Verse 6 `Therefore hath
the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein, are desolate: therefore the
inhabitants of the earth ARE BURNED AND FEW MEN LEFT'. Those words certainly
point to a climax and give the reason for it. Then again in verses 19 and 20 of the same
chapter we read: `The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth
is moved exceedingly. The earth SHALL reel to and fro like a drunkard, and SHALL be
removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall
fall, and not rise again'.
These are the sort of things the `one-worlders' responsible for our undoing are saying
that they can accomplish. After making a study of these writings of the great Isaiah, it is
well to turn to Matthew twenty-four, and read what the Lord Jesus Christ said of these
days. These things are admittedly possible. They have NOT occurred as yet. It is very
definitely in the power of very wicked, very powerful men, to bring all this to pass at any
moment they see fit. Greed-mad men, lusting for power over others, are the greatest
menace of the ages.
These men are responsible for the great moral, spiritual and economic chaos and ruin
that now covers all the earth. In their insane greed and lust for power over all others they
are the supreme menace of all time. No sane man ever desired to destroy the Christian
faith and Christian civilization. But that is what these are now doing in their mad grasp
after total power and all wealth. THINK ON THESE THINGS, for they shall shortly
come to pass."
We have no desire to emulate the `fat boy' of Dickens who tried to make peoples'
"flesh creep", but it is most certainly unwise to emulate the ostrich, which traditionally
hides its head in the sand! All Scripture is profitable, not only John 14: or Psalm 23:
We quote experts in the scientific world who make no reference to the Scriptures, the
Coming of the Lord, or give any indication that they are even aware of the prophetic
utterances of the Bible, yet their testimony concerns all who are alive today. The
following quotations, the original of which can be verified in the usual way. They are
verbatim so far as we know, and no word has been added or subtracted or toned down.
"In fifteen years from to-day (Dean Acheson said), this world is going to be too
dangerous to live in."
While the U.S.A. may have more atomic weapons than Russia, Dr. Linus Pauling, a
leading scientist and professor of chemistry, said:
"A mere 4,000 such weapons (U.S.A. had 100,000 at the time) could destroy the
human race."
