Are We Nearing Armageddon? - MORE EVIDENCE - Conclusion

Add this to the well-documented disintegration of family life and marriage in recent years, the vast increase of crime and violence of sorts, the enormous growth of drug abuse and alcoholism, and the upsurged of juvenile lawlessness. Is it not obvious that the very fiber of human society is breaking down, as Jesus said it would just prior to the "great tribulation"? (Matthew 24:12) In addition, consider this development, as noted in the World Press Review: "The world of the Eighties is in many ways frightening, not just because of poverty and injustice from which so many suffer . . . , but because of the machinery of the global destruction which men play." It called that machinery "horrifying," and no wonder, for Britain's New Scientists reports: "There are about 60,000 nuclear warheads in today's arsenals, with an explosive power equivalent to more than 16,000 tons of TNT (equal to 1, 250m 000 Hiroshima bombs)." Some of those weapons are so deadly that one bomb alone can wipe out a small country, or an entire section of a large country. Yes, for the first time in history, man is capable of annihilating most life on earth. 

Note: They will not get a chance to use them.  Jesus Christ, all his angels etc., will be coming down to war with all the countries and nations and this United States etc. And He  has the power to win. He has more power than human in this whole wide world.  I am convinced and have the faith of this happening because that is a prophecy and the past ones and the present ones have too. So have faith, because it will happen!

Are we to think that somehow, though, world leaders, because they may be sincere, intelligent, well-informed and powerful, will solve these problems? (Note: Have they yet?  No, they are incapable, they are not as intelligent as they believe they are. Note: Jehovah and Jesus Christ have more intelligence than all the people in this whole wide world).  Note what former United States Secretary of the Treasury Michael Blumenthal says:  "No one fully understands the present situation. That includes all government officials making policy. They are as puzzled as you are when open the paper in the morning. The fact is that no one . . . really has been able to predict with any degree of accuracy the problems we got into." But the Bible did and adds this wise counsel: "Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs." Instead, "Happy is the one . . . whose hope is Jehovah God, . . . the One keeping trueness to time indefinite, " AMEN! to that. - PSALM146:3-6. 

For a certainty, all the conditions foretold in Bible prophecy are here. We are indeed very deep into the "last days" of this system of things and nearing the final part, the "great tribulation" with its Armageddon finish. And just what will mark the outbreak of that "great tribulation"? An event that already is well along in development.
