WORLD, CHAOS

(To the Editor.) Sir, —■ As. you so- kindly opened your columns in. 1931-3? for a discussion on the disarmament question, on looking over them; 1 cull a few ex-thaic-ts] Lorn some, of the writers: “I suppose that almost every man a-ndi woman in the Dominion desires peace if such is possible'’ —“But it appears that they have overlooked the Divine plan a-& revealed in the Scripture of Truth, lor. -a very laudable theory proposed- by man —- “With all the hopeful expectations o he League) of Notions, we may find that they will leave tho meeting to load tho guns. All t-hafe tho League can do will -never stop such disasters ; therefore) is it hot better to- be prepared so as not to bo taken unawares ?”

Now I ask: How much of Hi is has come true? Has the wonderful extravagant League, of Nations stopped, war? Too well wo .know the answer by the disgraceful farce _ that lias been enaetpd when 50 nations- could not control one to their • everlasting shame. Did) wo writers not point out that iron and clay would not hold together? Japan and. Germany were ho nett enough to- withdraw from theLeague of Nonsense to do just as they pleased. But Italy clung to the League! while she loaded her guns and -slaughtered a lei low: member,' and '.-/ill they take her bloodstained hand -and' welcome her to i sit with them. Does the Creator off the Lniyerse sanction such an alliance? Italy has never departed from what she declared 1 from th-e first she would do. In; ‘The Nation” of Feb. 10, 1928, is' an extract; from Sarfatfc:’» “Life of Mussolini” page 334, where Mussolini says: “I would enter into an alliance at this moment with the Devil himself, with antiChri4:. if- that- would give this poor country . tranquility. If the Eternal Father were to say: ‘I am your friend,’ I would, put up my fists to Him.” This is the man. who, leagued with the trinity of evil, defies the League of Nonsense. Again, >n a cablegram dated Rome, May 12, 1930 “Signor Mussolini. addressing ft gathering of 30,000* Blackshirts, said: “We are not -seeking nasty, adventurers', but whosoever thinks they can halt us do no?, know the pitch, to which I might take the Italian people.” Now lie has fulfilled his boast and he is not- done yet. Beforo that great and dreadful day of Armageddon, Ethiopia is linked with Rome and others against the Land of Israel—see Ezek. 38. 1-7. In reading over those letters .referred to, the warning was given that as" the League of Nations _ was not formed, according to the Divine plan, it jvould, only end in failure and disaster, like all “man’s wisdom” as the thought and imagination -of man’s heart, is evil continually, for the, world, by wisdom, never know God or His plan as ho revealed it, to his servant Daniel (the man greatly beloved) 2600 years ago. which plan shrill he fulfilled to the very letter, in spite of all. the, prayer that’ is offered to turn it aside, for it lias been confirmed in “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly conn) to pass—Blessed is he that rendefh. and they that hear '.lie words of thi.i prophecy, and keep those tilings which arc written therein: for the' time is at hand.” And Sic last- message, in the Inst chapter, in the. last hook of Scripture, declares: “Blessed is ho that- keepoth. the sayings of the prophecy of this hook.”

And. aga’n. referring.to those letters, I read: “Wo wonder why the ministers in Gisborne, do not take up prophecy and show from the Scriptures what is lenlly coming upon this world. Surely we should' expect some, enlightenment from, those who are- supposed to be expert in the handling of the Word?” Bn!:, instead of doing so, they are shutting such teaching out. of their churches, and, as was foretold by Peter. “There shall come in the, last days scoffers, walking after Hieir own lusts,' and saying: Where isi the promise of His ensuing? Many are willingly ignorant—that the world that, (hen was being overflowed with waters perished: hut the heavens and tho earth which are now. by the same word are kept in store reserved unto fire against the Day of Judg ment and perdition of ungodly men”. Well might- we- cry w’tli Jeremiah, “O earth, earth, earth, hoar th? Word of the Lord.” —I am. Yours etc., TEBTTH3.
