excavating below the water-level in Alexandria's harbour for the palace of Cleopatra and the giant lighthouse which was one of the Seven Wonders of the World. All of these treasures now rest 20 feet below the surface of the water as the result of an earthquake. If the land formation has sunk to such an extent in the past, there is no reason why it could not change again - sufficient to prevent the sea flowing inland! The incidence of major earthquakes has been steadily increasing since late last century, and the Bible foretells massive earthquakes in the Middle East in the last days (Zech.14:4-5; Ezek. 38:19-20; Rev.11:13). The current damming of the River Nile is another sign that we must be in the last days! Global Events Just two days before Jesus died on the cross, His disciples showed Him the massive stones of Herod's Temple and Jesus told them that all of these would be thrown down. Later, on the Mount of Olives, the disciples asked, "When shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world (age)?" Jesus indicated that there would be a number of universal events that would characterize the last days immediately preceding His coming again. First, the Lord said that there would always be "wars and rumours of wars", but they were not to be troubled by them. "All these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet" (Matt.24:6). However, when a global situation occurred, then they were to take note, for all these would be the "beginning of sorrows", or "travail pains", which would herald the new world order over which Jesus Christ will rule as King of kings. The travail pains are described: "nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom ...famines, and pestilences (diseases) and earthquakes, in divers places"(Matt.24:7). This is called the "Great Tribulation", when Antichrist will set up his idol image in the rebuilt Temple at Jerusalem. Immediately after the Tribulation, Jesus will come to reign. 113 Signs of the Last Days
The Basics of Bible Prophecy The Sign of Global Warfare Patrick Brogan, in his heavily documented 653-page book entitled "World Conflicts, Why and Where they are Happening", lists at least 97 wars between 1945 and 1992, which claimed the lives of somewhere between 15 and 30 million people. In WWI (1914-18) 10 million died in action, but in WWII (1939-45) the figure was 24 million plus 40 million civilians, according to an "Almanac of Historical Facts" by Robert Stewart PhD. Of the 9 million Jews in Europe before WWII, only 3 million survived. Pol Pot's decimation of Cambodia wiped out about one third of its 8.6 million people (3 million), and achieved total dislocation of the entire population. The Korean War claimed 2,884,000 lives including 2 million civilians, and the subsequent famine in North Korea claimed 2.5 million between 1996-98. Stalin's suppression of Ukraine left 14 million murdered. The number of refugees, however, far exceeded the number of deaths. In Afghanistan for instance, between 1979 and 1989, the US Government states that out of a population of 15.5 million there were 1 million killed, but the number of refugees was 7.6 million. - 50% of the population! The Bible says that one of the signs of the last days would be global warfare on an unprecedented scale. It will lead to the Great Tribulation. We read, "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom...For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be" (Matt.24:6-21). The Iran/Iraq War claimed 1 million lives with many more casualties, and what shall we say about the Arab/Israeli wars, the Gulf War, and the Falklands War. We could talk about the India/China War, the India/Pakistan War, the Vietnam War which left 2.5 million dead, and the China/Vietnam War which left 40,000 dead before the Chinese withdrew. The attempted Communist take-over of Indonesia left 500,000 dead, and the continuing war in Algeria has left nearly 100,000 dead in the last 5 years alone. Four secessionist wars and famines killed up to 2 million in Ethiopia between 1972 and 1991. Bosnia, Hungary, the Kurds, Chechnya, Armenia, Malaysia, Philippines, Timor, Angola, Yemen, Congo, Chad, Sudan, Russia, Tibet, Burma, Laos, China etc have experienced bloody revolution or war. 114
