Troubles Financial, Political and Religious will Fill the Earth with Distress

Troubles Financial, Political and Religious will Fill the Earth with Distress

"altogether within the power of the Creator, when He is ready, to make it warmer at the poles"

The Word of God is the only revelation of what lies behind the vail of futurity. It declares trouble, more general and greater than the earth has ever yet known (`Dan. 12:1`); that troubles financial, political and religious will fill the earth with distress; that there will be no hire for man nor hire for beast, nor any peace to him that goeth out or to him that cometh in, because every man’s hand shall be against his neighbor. (`Zech. 8:10`.) Yet this is not all; for in connection with these changes, necessary to prepare for the Millennium Kingdom, will come some physical changes to the earth, incidental to its preparation for increased fertility and for rest from storms and cyclones, that it may be more suitable for the race in the “times of restitution.”

The irregularity of the seasons begins to show even to infidels that it is altogether within the power of the Creator, when He is ready, to make it warmer at the poles and cooler at the equator.”

 “To our understanding there are physical changes necessary to the full introduction of Millennial conditions: these will probably come about gradually, and incidentally cause great trouble and losses. These we understand are so timed as to form a part of the great time of trouble with which our age is to end, which, however, the Lord designs shall prepare man as well as the earth for further, future blessings. ‘When the judgments of the Lord are abroad in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.’”

Until man repents and turns from their own evil ways to call upon the God of ISRAEL, this “Time of Trouble such as never was” [Dan. 12:1] will worsen unto the catastrophe of total World Anarchy, which will worsen in condition until mankind is humbled under the dreadful experience.

Zeph 3:8,9

8 Therefore, wait for Me —
this is the LORD’s declaration —
until the day I rise up for plunder.
For My decision is to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
in order to pour out My indignation on them,
all My burning anger;
for the whole earth will be consumed
by the fire of My jealousy.

9 For I will then restore
pure speech to the peoples
so that all of them may call
on the name of Yahweh
and serve Him with a single purpose.

This one thing I do-Phil. 3: 13.
We observe the Apostle's singleness of purpose-"This one thing I do." He did not try to do several things; if he had, he would surely have failed. He devoted his life to the one purpose to which he was called, and to that end dropped every other aim in life. He did it, too, in view of the fact that all through the present life his chosen course would bring certain loss, privation, toil, care, persecution and continual reproach. In this singleness of purpose he was relieved of many temptations to turn aside to enjoy some of the good things of this present life, or to pursue some of its illusive bubbles-Z '95, 250 (R 1884).

The Apostle Paul is to us an example of singleness of purpose. We may be sure that to his varied talents all sorts of appeals with enchanting incentives were made to enlist them for other objects than the one which he made his goal in life; and his sturdiness in refusing to divert his activity from this one thing may well deserve our admiration and imitation. We cannot be a jack of all trades and a master of any one. Realizing that "a rolling stone gathers no moss," let us bend all our energies to attain this one thing-the making of our calling and election sure-P '30, 78.

"Revolution", "Anarchy" and "Genetically Engineered Food" were prescient topics discussed in "The Wrecking of Society"

Eerily I predict losing friends...I did my Christian duty to the best of my ability...if you do follow Christ it's going to cost you.
