WE HAVE heretofore pointed out that the great Battle of Armageddon–the anti-typical one–is near–that it will quickly follow the present world-war.

Under Divine guidance Barak made Mt. Tabor his army base– the same which, in Jesus’ day, became known to His followers as the Mount of Transfiguration, where the coming Kingdom of Messiah was represented in a vision. Thus we have another remarkable feature of the picture of the future–the association of the vision of the Kingdom in proximity with the Armageddon field of disaster picturing the overthrow of present institutions.

Similarly in the great Armageddon near at hand it will not be human might that will prevail, but the disconcerted hosts will effect the complete disruption of the present order of things, for “every man’s hand shall be against his brother and against his neighbor.” (`Ezekiel 38:21`; `Zechariah 8:10`; `14:13`.)

To Bible Students none of the belligerent nations are wholly in the right, and none of them entirely to blame. Let us more and more seek to take the Bible view of the great Armageddon, of which we are now having the prelude. It is the outgrowth of our civilization, developing in the soil of selfishness. We are seeing fruits which have been ripening for forty years.

The Battle of Armageddon, to which this war is leading, will be a great contest between right and wrong, and will signify the complete and everlasting overthrow of the wrong, and the permanent establishment of Messiah’s righteous Kingdom for the blessing of the world.

Now we who are living in this Day see the beginning of these foretold events. We see the prelude to the great Battle of Armageddon. Our thought is that the Armageddon itself will be the mighty “Earthquake” spoken of in Revelation. (`Revelation 16:16-18`.) In this great revolution and in the succeeding anarchy all earthly institutions will be swept away.

What a terrible perversion! And for what a purpose! To inflame the passions of humanity, to deceive people, to get them to do the very thing which Christ has directed shall not be done. Such ministers may gain favor and influence with their earthly king and his ministers and representatives in the government, but how will they stand with the other King, whose Empire is to be inaugurated with the great Battle of Armageddon, to which this present war is leading? We tremble to think of their responsibility, if they know what they are doing.

And while we see the wealth of the world being wasted, our hearts would be so very, very sick if we did not have the assurance of God’s Word respecting the grand outcome of universal blessing through Messiah’s Kingdom, which is to follow the great turmoil of Armageddon! Well did Jesus predict that men’s hearts would be failing them for fear and for looking after the things approaching!
