European Politics and the Coming Storm
It is not possible to forecast European politics and changes. A few days ago war seemed imminent, and the sages were telling us that in that conflict Germany, Austria, and Italy would stand on one side, with England perhaps an ally, if not, at least a friendly neutral, and on the other Russia and France. But now Russia and Germany have entered into a treaty of commerce and amity, and no one, save Omniscience, knows what the next move will be on the great political chessboard of the world. God's angels are holding the winds of strife till his work is done. When that time comes, the winds will be loosed, the great whirlwind will rage, the battle of Armageddon and the end will be here.
