REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Sixteen -The Pale Horse and Its Rider - Continue

 Of current importance  here is "deadly plague." Following in the wake of the ravages of World War I, the Spanish flue reaped over 20 million human lives in just a few months 0f 1918-1919. The only territory on earth to escape this scourge was the small island of St. Helena. In places where th population was decimated, funeral pyres were lit to burn the piles of bodies. And today there is a frightful incidence of heart disease and cancer, much of which is caused by tobacco pollution.  In what has beendescribed as "the ugly decade" of the 1980's, a way of life that is lawless by Bible standards has added the scourge of AIDS to the "deadly plague."  At the same time of this writing, all who contract this disease die,   and it is estimated that in the United States alone 270,000 will be sick with AIDS by 1991, millions appear to be doomed in Africa. How thankful Jehovah's people are that the wise counsel of his Word keeps them away from fornication and misuse of blood, through which so many diseases are transmitted today! - ACTS 15:28, 29; compare 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-11.
