at first, but would cominue umil God
intervened.
Nevertheless, an amalgamation of nadons
in central Europe comprising a
revived ROMAN EMPIRE was prophesied
to exist until Christ's second coming.
"And in the days of ,bese kil>gs shall
the God of heaven set up a kingdom,
which shall NIlVER be destroyed: and
the kingdom shall noc be left co other
people, bur is shall break in pieces and
consume alJ these kingdoms, and it shall
s'alld forever" (Verse 44).
lsaiah prophesied that in the "lase
days' God's Kingdom would be estab·
lished here on earrh and thac "all nations
shall flow untO it" ( Isa. 2: 1·4).
Ac chis time, Christ will teach men the
WAY to peace. "And He shall judge
among tbe nations, and shall rebuke
many people: and they shall beat their
swords into plowshares, and their spears
intO pruninghooks: tJatio1~ shall not lift
up s1lJord agai1lJt tultio1J., NEITHER
SHALL THEY LEARN WAR ANY MORE"
(Verse 4).
One of che principle thoughts in these
prophecies is that Christ is coming to
save the world from SELF-DESTRUCTION
and will begin to teach all nationswitb
force as necessary-the WAY of
peace.
Christ's Coming is NEEDED
The bodily rewrn of the Divine
Christ is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to
keep man from destroying himself, and
to make possible the strong world
govermne1~t-the KINGDOM OF GOD-­
which will keep the peace and make
possible d1e literal utopia for which
mankind longs so much!
In every ageJ God has had His mi1tisters-His
propbets-to WARN those
who would heed, of His DIVINE INTER­
VENTION, and how they might come
under His protection from any impend.
ing calamity. God promises in His
Word: "Surely the Lord God will do
NOTHING but He revealeth His se~ret
unto His sef'vatlts the prophets" (Amos
3:7).
Where are God's prophets today?

very apparent. For there is NO OTHER
SOURCE from where you can get real
UNDERSTANDING of the der",i'e prophe·
sied events in world affairs which are
now occurring and beginning co occur.
Long before rhe European Common
Market ever came imo being-long
before Germany revived into the MOST
POWERFUL industrial and political nation
in cemral Europe-this \vork was
warning America and Btimin in definite
ter·ms of these prophesied events!
For these nations now uniting in
Europe will ultimately comprise the
"Beasc" of Revelation 17-the final re·
vival of the Holy Roman Empire!
Ie will be this highly militaristic,
pagan, yet church-dominated system
which Jesus Christ will have to CRUSH
at His second coming.
There will be exacdy tell kiugs or
dictators ruling over ten nations or
groups of nations which will comprise
this system. They will all give their
power evemually limo one super dictator-prophe[ically
called (he "Beast"
(Rev. 17 : 12·13). This dictator and the
entire system will be heavily influenced
and dominated by a false church sys·
rem called a fallen woman or "great
whore" which sits upon and guides this
political "Beast" (Verses 1·3).
The book of Revelation, together
with Matthew 24, shows the exact order
of world·shaking evems preceding
Christ's recurn to this earth. For a com·
piece exposition of this subject, write

Where GOD Is Working
For over a quaner of a century, [his
work of God has been defi1~ite and specific
in show ing the world-evenr by

place before the second coming of
Jesus Christ! Can yo# grasp the SIGNIFl·
CANCE of chis?
This work alone has been warning
America and Bricain of [he specific punisbmellts
which are coming upon us.
Millions in America and Britain h3.ve

Prophesying of what His rrue ministers
would be doing at the time of [he
end, Jesus said: "Ye shall not have gone
over the cities of Israel, tiil [he Son ot
Man be come" (Mat. 10:23).
This work of God is now THUNDER·
ING the warning message from Christ
to the major cities of America and Britain,
Canada, Australia and South Africa.
Modern Israel is rapidly being
WARNED before it is tOO la(e! Tbis also
is 'he fulfillmen, of prophecy.
People may argue and reason, and
have their own ideas. They did in
Jesus' day, and the religious leaders re·
jected and ultimately crucified even
HIM.
But He said: "If [ do not the WORKS
of my Father, believe me not. But if 1
do, though ye believe not me, believe
the works: [hat ye may know and believe,
that the Father is in me, and I
in Him" (John 10 :37·38).
This is the WORK Christ is doing
through His human instfumems raday!
God the Father and Christ Himself are
"IN" this very work.
