No Peace Before Christ’s Coming
The bishop of London is reported recently to have said, “Even this war may lead possibly to peace of a thousand years.” Bishops and all others ought to make themselves sufficiently familiar with the Bible to know that the world is rapidly preparing itself for the great Armageddon; and not the peace of a thousand years, but an eternity, lies just beyond for those who are ready for it. How can it be possible that people who are teaching the Bible, and who claim to be studying its sacred pages, can get the idea from the divine Book that this world can ever have peace before the second coming of Christ? As long as we have wickedness, we will have strife and wars; and the increasing wickedness of this world will cause the turbulent conditions that make for war to become worse and worse as the days go by.
