Chapter Twenty-One -Jehovah's Plagues on Christendom

Conclusion of  Like a Burning Mountain

The Fascist and Nazi experiments were snuffed out by the second world war, but government continued to be a fiery issue, and the human sea continued to churn and throw up new revolutionary governments.  In the decades since 1945, these have been installed in many places,  such as China, Vietnam, Cuba, and Nicaragua.  In Greece an experiment  in military dictatorship failed.  In Kampuchea (Cambodia) and excursion into fundamentalist communism resulted in a reported two million and more deaths.  

That "mountain burning with fire" continues to make waves in the sea of mankind. Ongoing struggles over government are reported in Africa, the Americas, Asia, and the Pacific Islands. Many of these struggles  are taking place in lands of Christendom or where Christendom's missionaries have become activists. Roman Catholic priests have even joined  up with and fought  as members of the communists' "vicious and relentless power. But none of these convulsions in the sea of mankind can bring peace and security.  - Isaiah 25:10-12; 1 Thessalonians 5:3.  

The second trumpet blast reveals that those of mankind who got involved in revolutionary conflicts  over government rather than submit  To God's Kingdom are bloodguilty.  Particularly Christendom's "third of the sea" has become as blood. All living things therein are dead in God's eyes. None of the radical organizations floating like boats in that third of the sea can avoid ultimate shipwreck. How happy we are that millions of sheeplike people have now heeded the trumpetlike call to separate them from those who are still wallowing in the narrow nationalism and bloodguilt of the sea.
