RIOTING

By T.

With the rioting in Corea, rioting in China, rioting in Uruguay, and rioting in Italy and Austria, and elsewhere in Europe, but feebly suppressed; and with striking and rioting and mob violence in Ohio, Illinois, Georgia, the Carolinas, and elsewhere in this country, it must be evident that this is no time to dream of peace and quietness. The Lord’s Word shows that the time just before the second coming of Christ will be marked by great “violence” in the land. This may be contrary to what you have been taught, but, nevertheless, it is the statement of God’s Word.

You have observed the violence that is filling the world. You have been led to fear because of it. But fear no longer. This violence is but the manifestation of Satan’s final effort in these last days to destroy as many as possible. But be assured that he can destroy no one who is under the shelter of the almighty Father.

The Word of God not only tells the meaning of these perils in our time, but it tells of the perfect shelter that our Father has provided against every threatened danger. God’s Word is a firm foundation. Everything else in these times is rocking and tottering, ready to fall. Look well to your feet. Where are you standing? T.
