Modern Warfare and Armageddon
The California naval militia has broken the world record at target practise, making 55 consecutive hits with the four-inch guns, and 45 consecutive hits with the three-pounders. We not only have great intensity in the improvement of weapons of war, but we have an equally great intensity in the training for skill in the use of these improved weapons. When the war of Armageddon breaks upon the world in that near-by day, and all these modern weapons, with the modern skill in using them, are brought into action, the scenes will go beyond description. The following language from the prophecy of Revelation may then be found not so figurative as many have supposed: "And the winepress was trodden without the city, and there came out blood from the wine-press, even unto the bridles of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs." Rev. 14:20. When the Prince of Peace withdraws His restraining hand from the war-mad forces that are gathering, we can little imagine the scenes that will then be enacted.
