Armageddon
Sir, — Few who saw the documentary “A Guide to Armageddon” on television last Sunday evening could have retired to bed without some pretty sombre thoughts filling their minds. After the programme my wife and I read together Revalations, chapters 8 and 9. They almost foretell what that .documentary depicted. Like the documentary, it is a very solemn picture — the seven trumpets sounding out, not God’s final judgment, but a series of partial judgments coming as warnings to all on the Earth. And their purpose? One of grace — God calling people everywhere to repent, as the closing verses of chapter nine declare. Let it never be said that God has not done all in His power
to call people to their senses. He has and is doing so. Would that all would hear what God is saying. — Yours, etc., CANON H. THOMSON. February 27, 1984.
