Our cities are to be destroyed.
Isn't it significant that it's the
cities to be destroyed? Most of
the people are living in cities
today. They've moved off of the
farm. And it is cities that can
be destroyed now by hydrogen
bombs, atomic warfare. That
was never possible until our
time. Just since World War II
has that become possible.
The United States did not have
another atomic bomb when
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were
bombed. Now the Japanese
didn't know that. They
wouldn't have surrendered if
they'd known that, but they
didn't. They thought there
were going to be more, and so
they surrendered before any
more of their cities were
bombed; but we could not
have bombed any more
because we didn't have
another atomic bomb. The
only two we had were used.
You might say it was a bluff;
but the bluff worked, and they
surrendered.
But soon after that they began
to announce the hydrogen
bomb, so great an atomic
bomb only triggers it and sets
it off. I don't know, what is it, a
hundred times, a thousand
times more powerful, more
devastating, something like
that? I haven't kept up on the
technicalities of those things as
I used to even.
But then if you read in the
plagues that God is going to
send at the end of the Great
Tribulation and in that time,
how many people are going to
die in other countries and all
over the world.
I want to go into that again
myself because I think we need
to go into what is going to
happen between now and then
all anew and all afresh --
because somewhere between a
1/3rd and 90% of ALL LIVING
people on earth today are
going to be DEAD before the
2nd coming of Christ. Did you
know that? That's the kind of
time we are LIVING IN, and
very few people KNOW IT.
AHEAD OF THEIR
TIME
Now I want to go back into
prophecy once again. I was
going into prophecy on radio
30, 40 years ago. I was about
30-40 years ahead of my time.
Well, I tell you, the apostle
Paul and the original apostles
were way ahead of their time
by 1,900 years. They thought
the coming of Christ was going
to happen right then in their
time and their lifetime, their
generation. They didn't know
it.
Petra a Place of Safety
for God’s people?
I was over there in about 1956,
I believe it was, in a cave inside
of the rock. And, well, if you
have to get up in the middle of
the night, that's quite a pro-
voking place to be, as I found
out, because even in summer it
is rather cold nights over there.
No it's not a pleasant place to
be either. It's a frightening
place in a way because the
amount of arrangement and all
of those caves and some of the
