War’s Enormous Cost and Coming Trouble

The total expenditures of the belligerent nations of Europe are $42,150,000 a day.

We are very closely confronted by that time viewed by the prophet Daniel when he says, “There shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time.”
