Where Are We Now In the Panorama of
Prophesied World Events?
by Herbert W. Armstrong
AUGUST 14, 1978
The DEATH of Pope Paul VI may trigger a drastic change in world
events.
This change could plunge the world into the most terrifying
crisis ever experienced by man.
But I hasten to add that if this catastrophic World War III does
explode, that will be the definite ASSURANCE that WORLD PEACE in the
utopian WORLD TOMORROW -- is imminently to follow.
I would rather picture to our readers a future of WORLD HOPE,
than of horrifying world disaster. But we live in a troubled world
with unprecedented evils piled mountain-high. And the trend is
foreboding -- not reassuring. It will get darker before the DAWN.
The important thing is that the DAWN is absolutely assured by the
living Creator GOD!
Some twenty years ago, before Pope John XXIII was elected, I
had wondered if the Pope then being selected by the College of
Cardinals would be the one who would propose his good offices to the
nations of Europe to achieve political, monetary, and military union.
European nations have longed for some sort of UNITY. They want not
only economic
.
union, as they have achieved by the "Common Market,"
they fear the communist hordes -- and especially if the u.s.s.R. and
the Peoples Republic of CHINA ever get together.
Until now -- since World War II -- the Europeans have had to
rely on the United States military power to protect them from further
encroachments or nuclear attack from the Soviet Union.
Back during the final days of World War II, I was giving a
commentary on the war news daily on the World Tomorrow radio program.
We came to a point where the final coup de grace was expected hourly
to be rendered on Germany by the Allies. But the Western Allies could
not inflict that final death-blow until the Russians ended their part
of the war in the eastern sector.
Day after day, hour after hour, we waited. But the Russians
were in no hurry to END the war. They continued on, until they had
taken over Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania -- and until the Russian
boot had been firmly planted on all Eastern Europe -- including
Eastern Germany. All these became the "satellite countries." They
are spoken of as behind the "Iron Curtain."
