The Fascist and Nazi experiments were snuffed out by the second world warm but government continued to be a fiery issue, and the human sea continued to churn and throwe up new revolutionary governments. In the decades following 1945, these were installed in many places, such as China, Vietnam, Cuba, and Nicaragua. In Greece and 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 foire" continued to make waves in the sea of mankind. Struggles over government have been reported in Africam the Americas, Asia, and the Pacific islands. Many of these struggles have taken place in the lands of Christendom or where Christendom's missionaries have become activists. Roman Catholic priests even joined up and fought as members of the Communist guerrilla bands. At the same time, Protestant evangelical groups worked in Central America to counter what they called the Communists' "vicious and relentless thirst for power." But none of these convulsions in the sea of mankind have brought peace and security. -Compare ISAIAH 25:10-12; 1 THESSALONIANS 5:3.
The second trumpet blast reveals that those of mankind who got involved in revolutionary conflicts over governement 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 we are that millions of sheeplike people hav enow heeded the trumpetlike call to separat from those who are still wallowing in the narrow nationalism and bloodguilt of that sea.
