Chapter Overview
There Is Purpose
Why This Ignorance
This may sound incredible, but it's true. Editors,
newscasters, foreign correspondents do not understand the real meaning
of the world news they report, analyze and discuss. Heads of government
are utterly unaware of the true significance of the very world-shaking
events with which they deal. They have no conception of where these
events are leading. Incredible? Perhaps - but true!
Winston Churchill declared before the United States
Congress: "He must indeed have a blind soul who cannot see that some great
purpose and design is being worked out here below of which we have the
honor to be the faithful servants." But he did not understand that
purpose! That great purpose long ago was master-planned by the Master
Mind of the universe.
It is true, though almost totally unrealized: Mankind
was put on this earth for a PURPOSE! And the Maker of mankind sent
along with the human product of His making an INSTRUCTION BOOK to reveal
that purpose and to guide man in happily, enjoyably fulfilling it.
But the human race has rejected the revelation and the guidance and has
preferred to stumble on in the darkness of its own futile reasonings.
About one-third of that Instruction Book is devoted
to basic education - revealing to man the necessary foundational knowledge
otherwise undiscoverable and unknowable: knowledge of what man is, why
he is, where his destiny may lead, how to reach it and live happily along
the way; revealing knowledge of the true values as distinguished from the
false; knowledge of the way to peace, happiness, abundant well-being.
In other words, the most necessary of all knowledge - the foundation on
which to build discoverable knowledge.
Another approximate third of that Book is devoted
to history - to those events and experiences fulfilling the master plan
during the first four millennia of man's mortal sojourn, as examples for
our admonition and guidance today.
And then approximately a third - grasp this! -
an entire third of our Maker's revelation to mankind is devoted to prophecy
- writing the history of future events before they occur. These foretold
future events reveal the great purpose being finally worked out - being
brought to its completion.
Now see why heads of state, news analysts, and the great minds of our time do not comprehend the real meaning of world events as they are shaping up right now.
A rational and right knowledge of this great purpose,
of the Creator's master plan, of where in the progression of those foreordained
events we stand today, and of major happenings prophesied yet to occur
- this knowledge is the essential basis for understanding the significance
and true meaning of today's dynamic world news. Without this vital
knowledge, none dealing in news gathering and news reporting, none responsible
for government policies can understand current world happenings or where
they are leading. And not one saddled with such responsibilities
does know! Why?
Two reasons, primarily: 1) They have been deceived
by false education appealing to the vanity of intellect into prejudicial
and disdainful rejection of the divine revelation which alone can impart
this understanding; and 2) the vital key necessary to unlock closed doors
of biblical prophecy had been lost.
The great world powers of our time have been, and
are, the United States, the Soviet Union, Great Britain, Germany, France,
and other Western European nations. The missing vital KEY is simply
the identity of these great world powers in biblical prophecy! The
staggering and cataclysmic world-shaking events soon to erupt upon a shocked,
stunned, bewildered world relate directly and specifically to the United
States, Britain, Germany, Western Europe, and Russia.
Not knowing how and where these nations are specifically
mentioned in basic and major prophecies, the educated of the world have
been utterly blinded to the plain and simple meaning of prophecy.
Due to this lost key more than anything else, the Bible has come to be
discredited and rejected in this world's educational system. The
unproved and unprovable theory of evolution has been substituted as the
foundational concept which became the supposed rational approach to knowledge.
The colossal tragedy of it! Our peoples,
being thus falsely and deceptively educated from little children, have,
in a supposed era of advanced rationalism and enlightenment, actually been
groping around in the darkness of ignorance, misunderstanding and confusion,
fatally unaware of the earthshaking catastrophe into which they are being
directly plunged.
Thus our peoples have forgotten and departed far
from their Maker. They have shut their eyes and closed their ears
to His dynamic revelation to mankind, which, to ears that can hear, thunders
out the life-and-death warning to those in the responsible positions of
power!
Is it too late? Have our leaders become so
steeped in a deceptive false education, so stultified that they cannot
be aroused from slumber? God help us now! Time is fast closing
in on us!
But the all-important master key has been found!
That key is knowledge of the astonishing identity
of the American and British peoples - as well as the German - in biblical
prophecies. This very eye-opening, astounding identity is the strongest
proof of the inspiration and authority of the Holy Bible! It is,
at the same time, the strongest proof of the very active existence of the
living God!
An exciting, pulsating, vital third of all the
Bible is devoted to prophecy. And approximately 90 percent of all
prophecy pertains to OUR TIME, now, in this latter half of the twentieth
century! It is a warning to us - to our English-speaking peoples
- of immediate life-and-death import. The prophecies come alive once
their doors are opened by this now discovered master key! This book
will open, to open minds, this hitherto closed vital third of all the Bible.
No story of fiction ever was so strange, so fascinating, so absorbing,
so packed with interest and suspense, as this gripping story of our identity
- and our ancestry.
Through it Almighty God gives momentous warning!
Those who read, and heed, may be spared unprecedented cataclysmic tragedy
soon to strike. If our peoples and their governments will awaken,
heed, and return to their living God, then our nations may be spared.
God help us to UNDERSTAND!
