ARMAGEDDONS CRESCENDO
"The crisis will be reached when the hitherto upholders of the law shall become violators of the law"
It is the contention of this writer that we are now living through events that were precisely and succinctly described in the forward of the book titled “The Battle of Armageddon” published in 1889 by Pastor Charles Taze Russell.
His forward should be viewed in light of present day events. We quote it below and insert our own links and comments, forming a compelling series of events of our own recent history.
As A PRELUDE — the forward is from book four in a series. TRUE understanding comes with reading all these volumes. Suffice to say that when the Bible talks about “Armageddon” it’s symbolic, not literal. Instead of a great nuclear war between two nations i.e. Russia vs. America, this “battle” would be political and mainly a war of information involving all people who are styled “The LORD’S GREAT ARMY”.
This “army” would be composed of all classes of people on many sides, and would serve to tear down the present evil “world” or society in a terrible time of Anarchy mirroring the French Revolution, but which ultimately clears the way for Messiah’s Kingdom to assume power and reign.
We quote from Pastor Russell as follows: [with our comments and supporting links in brackets]
“Many noble people in this great army will assume an attitude quite contrary to their preference. For a time the wheels of liberty and progress will be turned backward, and mediaeval restraints will be considered necessary for self-preservation for the maintenance of the present order of things and for the prevention of the new order which God has decreed, the due time for which is at hand. …”

“…Even those who may be God’s people do not stop to consider whether it is His will that things should continue as they have been for the past six thousand years. The Bible says that such is not God’s will, but that there is to be a great overturning, that a new order is coming in.
For a brief time, as we understand the Scriptures, these combined forces of Armageddon will triumph. Free speech, free mails, and other liberties which have come to be the very breath of the masses in our day, will be ruthlessly shut off on the plea of necessity, the glory of God, the commands of the Church, etc. …”
[Pastor Russell warned it would be the “trusts and syndicalists” that would ignite the final outburst. Written in 1889 but transposed to our day, these “forces” are the globalists who are attempting to enforce their version of world order against an unwilling populace. See “TRUMP v. Globalism”.
Read the next paragraph against a modern backdrop: thousands of “new media” journalists like Infowars.com who are unwilling to be silenced by the modern media monopoly, greatly annoying the powers that be as we read...]
“…The safety-valve will be sat upon, and thus will cease to annoy earth’s kings with the sound of escaping steam; and all will seem to be serene — until the great social explosion described in the Revelation as an earthquake will take place. In symbolic language an earthquake signifies social revolution, and the Scriptural declaration is that none like it ever before occurred. (Rev. 16:18,19) See our Lord’s reference to it in Matt. 24:21.
The Lord’s Great Army
At this juncture, the Scriptures show, Divine Power will step forward, and God will gather the marshaled hosts to Armageddon — to the Mount of Destruction. (Rev. 16:16) The very thing which they sought to avert by their union, federation, etc., will be the very thing that they will hasten. Other Scriptures tell us that God will be represented by Messiah, and that He will be on the side of the masses. “At that time shall Michael [the Godlike One — Messiah] stand up.” (Dan. 12:1) He will assume authority. He will take possession of His Kingdom in a manner little looked for by many of those who erroneously have been claiming to be His Kingdom, and authorized by Him to reign in His name and in His stead…
…As an earthly king does not hold himself responsible for the moral character of each soldier who fights his battles, so the Lord does not vouch for the moral character of all who enlist and fight on His side of any question. His servants they are to whom they render service, whatever the motive or object prompting.
The same principle will apply in the coming Battle of Armageddon. God’s side of that battle will be the people’s side; and that very nondescript host, the people, will be pitted at the beginning of the battle. Anarchists, Socialists, and hot-headed radicals of every school of reason and unreason, will be in the forefront of that battle. He who has any knowledge of army life knows that a great army is composed of all classes.
The masses will be restless under their restraints, but will be conscious of their weakness as compared with the kings and princes, financial, social, religious and political, who will then hold sway. …”
[In Pastor Russell’s day these people were literal kings that he predicted would lose their crowns in 1914 and it came to pass exactly at the time he forecasted.
Today we surmise that the modern kings and princes are evident: they are those elites in government and business who are imposing a socialist, globalist agenda, enforcing an atheistic form of government upon the masses.]
“…The majority of the poor and the middle class prefer peace at almost any price. The masses have no sympathy with anarchy. They realize truly that the worst form of government is better than none. The masses will seek relief through the ballot and the peaceful readjustment of earth’s affairs for the elimination of evil, for the placing of monopolies and utilities and the supplies of nature in the hands of the people for the public good.
[SEE TRUMP vs. CLINTON November 8, 2016. The people voted SPECIFICALLY for the above: The Democratic candidate is allegedly involved in almost unspeakable crimes. She cheated in the debates. She looted the nation of Haiti. She is currently under investigation by the FBI and the Justice Department. The PEOPLE were aware of her “evil” and of her role in creating and supporting globalist monopolies favorable to her literal and personal plundering of earth’s resources or “supplies of nature”.]

“The crisis will be reached when the hitherto upholders of the law shall become violators of the law and resisters of the will of the majority as expressed by the ballot. Fear for the future will goad the well-meaning masses to desperation, and anarchy will result when Socialism fails.”
[HERE is a list of links showing that the aforementioned, “the hitherto (former) upholders of the law” are the governments under the Clintons and Obama and their governmental wings including the Justice Department and the FBI. (see links below.) Their anarchistic (lawless) response to the election of Donald J. Trump, an outsider, precisely fulfills the conditions Pastor Russell expected.
Who cannot see in this most important paragraph that this has occurred and continues at a pace even now?

“The Lord’s saints are not to be in this battle at all. God’s consecrated people, longing at heart for Messiah’s Kingdom and the glorious Year of Jubilee and Restitution which it will inaugurate, will patiently abide the Lord’s time, and wait unmurmuringly for it. Their lamps trimmed and burning, they will not be in darkness respecting the momentous events of the impending battle; but they will be of good courage, knowing the outcome portrayed in the “more sure word of prophecy,” to which they have done well to “take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the Day dawn.” 2 Pet. 1:19"
[[Editors Note: We believe the Church to be complete, risen and already taking control of earth’s affairs in a the spiritual realm which will soon be made manifest to all. Amen.]]

This is the MANNA for JUNE 4
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ-1 Pet. 1: 7.
It is your faith that is on trial now. In the calmer days when the sun of favor shone brightly upon you, you were quietly laying the foundation of a knowledge of the Truth, and rearing the superstructure of Christian character. Now you are in the furnace to be proved; summon therefore all your courage; fortify your patience; nerve yourself to endurance; hold fast to your hope; call to mind the promises, they are still yours; and "cast not away your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward." "In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him," and faith has gained her victory-Z '95, 135 (R 1822).
As the assayist in putting the gold ore into the fiery crucible seeks not its destruction, but its separation from the dross and its refining, so God gives us fiery experiences, not to destroy our faith, but to separate from it the dross of sin, error, selfishness and worldliness, and to make it in every way valuable, which will be manifested as worthy of praise, honor and glory at our Lord's revelation-during His Epiphany-P '36, 78.
