CHAPTER XXV
SURVIVING
THIS WORLD'S END
WITH the armaments race on between nations
and with all the scientific inventions
for mass destruction, such as germ warfare,
long-range guided missiles, atomic bombs
and the latest hydrogen or "hell" bomb which
might blow a chunk out of the earth the size of
the moon, some men of insight fear it will be
easier in the next global war to destroy all human
life on earth than to save a part of it . If
that is true of a world war waged by mere man
in this electronic age, what can be said of that
yet unequaled catastrophe which God's Word foretells,
the complete end of this world! The great
Creator has promised to bring about this end,
and he has at his disposal great cosmic forces besides
mighty invisible angels under the command
of his powerful Executioner, the King Jesus
Christ. The nations are but as the drop of a bucket
to God, and more easily than any nations at war
can destroy he could snuff out all human life and
reduce this earth to a desolate waste at Armageddon
. The prospect would be terrifying were it not
for one thing : Almighty God has given his written
promise over his own irreproachable name
1 . Prospect of the world's end would terrify us in this
electronic age except for what promise?
