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) an excursion into fundamentalism communism resulted in a reported two million and more deaths.
That "mountainlike 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 its members of communist guerilla bands. At the same time, Protestant evangelical groups have worked in Central America to counter what they call communist' vicious and relentless thirst for power." But none of these convulsions in the sea of mankind can bring peace and security. -Compare ISAIAH 25:10-12; 1 THESSALONIANS 5:3.
