Modern Guns and Earth’s Final Conflict
The Cruiser Raleigh has a five-inch gun that has broken the world's record for guns of that caliber. During the last target practice this gun made six shots and scored six hits in twenty-five seconds. Fifty years ago it took nearly a quarter of an hour to load the heavy guns of that time. First the powder had to be rammed into the gun thru the muzzle, and then the ball had to be rammed in by the same method, and it took lots of time. A single modern gun can do far more execution now than a number of whole batteries could have done a half century in the past. These engines of destruction are all to come into furiously intense action in the closing days of earth's history. Is it any wonder that God's word tells us that in that time the blood will flow so deep that it will reach even to the horses' bridles? How soul-satisfying it is to know that we can stand with God in that time, and under His sheltering protection be kept free from that awful conflict!
