The Coming Armageddon

By Horace G. Franks

Preparing the World's Stage for the Greatest of All Cataclysms

HORACE G. FRANKS

The certainty of another great war is now admitted by many of the foremost thinkers of our day. Moreover Bible prophecy is definite and emphatic upon this point. Armageddon is still future.

The League of Nations was thought by many to be a sure defence against war, but it might very easily turn out to be a fighting League of Nations. Each member is pledged to support every other member, and just as previous alliances between powerful nations have failed to preserve peace, but, rather, have intensified war, just so may this greater alliance between the great nations ultimately prove to be the very cause of a veritable Armageddon.

At the time when the Armistice was signed the whole world was speaking of, and looking forward to, the formation of the League of Nations, but now, as in past times, the impossibility of eradicating war from the earth is gradually dawning upon the majority of thinking people. Says Dr. John R. Mott of present-day conditions:—

We are not through with war yet. All peoples are on their nerves, which are worn and threadbare. The spirit of criticism prevails everywhere. . . . Nations, whether victors or vanquished, are torn and embittered. We have the Bolsheviki, and deep chasms not only exist between nations, but between classes within nations. The people of the world are awaking to the price they must pay. It is a bewildered world, a confused world. This all means an imperilled world. We see everything disintegrating, and that leads to destruction.

God's Picture of Armageddon

No! “we are not through with war yet.” There are Scripture prophecies which not only foretell future strife, but which also delineate the battle-ground and describe the intensity of the coming Armageddon. Referring to the time of the seven last plagues, the outpouring of God's vials of wrath, the prophet John declares:—

The sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the East might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. . . . And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. Rev. 16:12-16.

In these striking words, “spirits of devils, working miracles,” God's penman hints at the terrors of the war that is to come. The recent Great War was terrible in its intensity and cruel in its methods, and from what it developed and used we can obtain some idea of the weapons of the next. Take poison gas, for instance. Too late for use in the recent conflict, but with its secret formula in readiness for the next, a gas has been compounded “possessing seventy-two times the killing power of the most deadly gas used during the war.” An American general recently described gassing as a “humane method” of warfare, while General Sir Louis Jackson, who was in charge of gas production during the war and Director of Trench Warfare and Supplies, recognised that “there is a great prejudice against the use of gas,” but continues:—

There is, however, no more need to bar the use of gas generally, because certain gases cause unnecessary suffering, than there is to forbid rifles in order to prevent the use of dum-dum bullets. There are gases which can give a quite sudden and painless death, and others, again, which cause death with far less suffering than, say, a shell wound. It is easy to conceive cases in which it would be more humane to use gas than explosive shells.

It is true, of course, that the League of Nations forbids the use of gas in the wars of the future, but military leaders do not seem to have much faith in the prohibition. Indeed, Lieut.-Col. Fuller, Chief General Staff Officer of the Tank Corps, has recently written a book, “Tanks in the Great War,” and gives this strange but terrible forecast of tank and gas warfare in the future:—

Fleets of fast-moving tanks, equipped with tons of liquid gas, against which the enemy will probably have no protection, will cross the frontier, and obliterate every living thing in the fields and farms, the villages and cities of the enemy's country. While life is being swept away along the frontier, fleets of aeroplanes will attack the enemy's great industrial and governing centres. All these attacks will be made against the civil population, in order to compel it to accept the will of the attacker.

Thus it is plain that poison gas on a vast scale is recognised as one of the most potent weapons of the coming war,—a weapon to be used against the civil as well as the military population, and which is to “obliterate every living thing” within its deadly range. This is neither an empty vision nor an ugly dream, but is the solemn forecast of military students and scientific soldiers. Is it, therefore, any wonder that on this interesting subject the editor of the Commercial Appeal writes:—

Compared to the next war, the struggle which has just ended will be as a fight between children is to a struggle between giants.

In the next war, cannon will be used that can accurately hurl shells a distance of forty miles.

Already this estimate has been exceeded, for March last the French Government paid nearly £5,000 for the patent rights of a new long-range gun capable of firing shells a distance of 150 miles, twice as far as the German “Big Bertha” which shelled Paris. To continue our quotation:—

In the next war shells weighing 2,100 lb. will be hurled from these cannon, and their destructive force will be twice as great as that of any shell now manufactured.

This forecast, too, has already been shown out of date. Messrs. Hadfields, Ltd., of Sheffield, are already preparing to produce armour-piercing projectiles weighing 5,600 lb. each, and 21 ins. in diameter. Such monster messengers of death, moreover, could perforate two and one-half feet of hard faced armour at a range of ten miles.

To continue again:—

In the next war a poison gas will be used which can penetrate wool and leather. One drop of this gas on the bare skin of the foot will destroy that member. A whiff of this gas will snuff out the life of him that breathes it. This gas can be hurled in shells, and the contents of one shell will kill everything that is living, animal or vegetable, within the area of five acres and then will spread over other acres and do serious damage.

In the next war the present aeroplanes will be as pygmies to the airships that will be made. These ships will be armoured and will carry high-powered guns. They will carry machine guns and other guns from which will be fired armour-penetrating shells. These aeroplanes can lift containers of poison gas material weighing a ton. When these gas shells are dropped over a fortress, they will destroy every living thing within a four hundred foot radius.

Under such conditions as these, and with such terrible weapons of warfare, leagues and alliances alike will be impotent to prevent, or even check, the passions of war-mad nations. The war that is coming, that lies just ahead, with such satanic contrivances as we have described (and a multitude of others which we cannot even imagine) might well be the fulfilment of the Bible prophecy of Armageddon, with its “spirits of devils, working miracles.” Such a battle will be the climax of war, the grand finale of Satan's evil and deadly campaign. Out of that welter of woe, that medley of misery, that dance of death, God's people—His commandment-keepers—will be saved; they will be sheltered under the wings of the Almighty, translated from such a world of war into the haven of heavenly peace. They who would know what the future has in store for

this world and for those who are faithful to God and His truth should study Joel 3:9-16; I Thess. 4:14-17; Revelation 21 and 22, and kindred scriptures. We are living in the most important, the most serious, and the most solemn period of this world's chequered history. The climax of the ages is fast drawing on. Are you ready for the great and mighty events which the near future will usher in?

Sign Reading

By Walter Scragg

WALTER SCRAGG

The business man of today spends considerable sums of money on advertisements. Everywhere the eye turns in our cities and towns it rests inevitably upon some such striking reminder. Our memory is continually called to the fact that one can get everything at such and such a place, or at “The Big Store, Adelaide, you can secure best articles of clothing at lowest prices”; and so business men are persistent in their activities to remind the public that they have the goods they need for disposal.

But all this forethought and expenditure would avail nothing if the public did not note these capital advertisements. Most people read and study them, to their financial benefit or otherwise. But some read and pass by with no second thought of them.

God is carrying out a business propaganda in this old world. It is the business of saving men, and is of paramount importance. He has given heaven’s best gift to establish it and unlimited potential gifts and graces to propagate it. And throughout the earth His business is being advertised by preaching and printing and by the silent witnessing of godly lives, the earnest expression of His power to save and keep.

This business has been in progress nearly six thousand years, and is still the strongest and healthiest on the earth, and stands out separate from the shaky and uncertain business concerns trembling on the brink of financial and economic ruin today.

Yet it, too, is about to close its doors, not because it has become bankrupt or is going to pieces. No! but because it has nearly finished its contract. Its business is to give the gospel of Christ to all the world, and when this is done its work on earth will cease.

And the all-wise Manager has notified the world that the many striking political and social infirmities show His business of soul saving about to close its work forever. These are signs which are everywhere conspicuously noticeable today. The all-important question is, “Can we read them in their true light? And can we read them to our own eternal benefit?”

The business of soul saving will close with a tremendously important and fearful event. It is the coming of the Christ to take home His redeemed ones. John 14:1-3; 1 Thess. 4:16, 17.

Now, it is the signs that point with unerring accuracy to this event that are being written in political disturbances, social dissolution, and spiritual declension which must be noticed today. I say must, because our eternity depends on how we read them.

Christ was rejected by His people because they failed to notice the signs mercifully given by God to warn them of the Messiah’s first advent; and these were written of long before the events transpired. Consider well the denunciation spoken by Christ Himself against the self-important Pharisees recorded so faithfully in Matt. 16:1-3. They desired a sign by which they might know Him. Jesus “answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?”

Why the Jews Rejected Jesus

They could not discern, and yet of that nation they were the intellectuals, the leaders in every branch of thought and science. In the elucidation of fine points and theories they were the expositors. Why could they not read the signs heralding the Saviour’s

advent? Was it because they lacked opportunity to investigate? We must answer in the negative. They had both opportunity and learning. Why was it, then, they failed to understand?—Because their eyes were blinded by the dust of filthy lucre, selfish ambition for temporal power, and blighting hypocrisy. This is why so few great men will be saved. They had long lost their spiritual eyes.

What were the signs heralding the peace-bringing Saviour? Isaiah predicted the virgin birth of the Messiah in chapter 7, verse 12. He pictured Him in chapter 9:6 bearing the weight of government; a wonderful Man; a Counsellor; a mighty God; the everlasting Father; the Prince of Peace.

Balaam located His birthplace. Num. 24:17. A star would rise out of Jacob to do this. It did over fourteen hundred years afterwards, and wise men from the East saw it and knew for what it stood. Matt. 2:1, 2.

Jeremiah predicted over six hundred years before the awful event, the dreadful slaughter of innocents that would follow on the birth of Jesus. Jeremiah 31:15. It came (Matt. 2:16), and upwards of twenty thousand dead infants and weeping mothers witnessed to the sad fact. These demonstrated the truth that Christ was in the flesh.

At the time when the Saviour was rebuking the Pharisees some of the mightiest and most wonderful evidences that the Son of God was on earth were being seen and talked the country round. The wonderful Man had come, who, “being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant.” Phil. 2:6, 7. The Counsellor had come, for “no man spake as this Man,” said those who had been commanded to arrest Him. The mighty God had come with power to liberate those who were fettered by physical infirmities and bound in the prison house of sin. The Prince of Peace was there to heal the broken-hearted, to preach the gospel to the poor, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. Luke 4:18. These were soul-moving facts, wonderful in every potent and merciful feature. But the Jews failed to understand.

Unmistakable Evidence

Again, another sign stood out in a conspicuous way. It was the witnessing of John the Baptist, the forerunner of the Christ, the one sent to clear the way. He came in fulfilment of the prophecy in Isa. 40:3. The Pharisees and Sadducees were among those who listened to John’s preaching, and heard him declare that One would come after him whose shoe’s latchet he was not worthy to unloose. John 1:27.

Christ’s birth, His work, and John’s witnessing with their accompanying events, were unmistakable evidence that the Christ was among them. But they could not read them as such because they prejudiced themselves against Him and hardened their hearts to reject Him. The fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 was the appalling testimony to their proud rejection of the Son of God.

Today there are signs which stand out as such, telling us that the second advent of Christ is near.

In Dan. 12:4 the angel admonishes the author to shut up the words and seal the book even till the time of the end, saying that many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased.

We Are in That Time

History fails to record a time paralleling this wonder-working inventive age. Men can sweep over the country at a terrific speed, outdistancing the fleetest-footed beast. They can follow the fish in its paths through the deep blue sea, and ride majestically over their backs on the foaming billows. They can soar away in the air and compete with the swiftest-winged bird. They can turn night into day by the operation of a switchboard. They can send their messages through the unseen paths of the air without even a spider-web conveyance. They can cut the finest tempered steel with a burning light as though it were butter. It would be superfluous to enumerate any more of present day wonders. Every school boy has greater wonders in his toy-house than our forefathers ever dreamed of. Surely men have knowledge today.

And, too, there is an increase in the knowledge of the Book of Daniel as the above texts suggest. Secure the book, “Daniel and Revelation,” by Uriah Smith. It is full of wonderful light. This increase in knowledge is one sign that we are in the last days.

The Saviour said there would be great national strife and upheavals and that they

would increase in violence and perplexity and reach a terrible climax. Matt. 24:6, 7. Nations have been rising against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms from time immemorial, but now they are doing so more vindictively and more scientifically. An eager desire to grasp the control of commerce has sent the nations of the world pushing forward in an aggressive effort to reach their selfish objectives. The warring nations have left behind them a trail of blood, famine, and pestilence, and when asked to take a retrospective view along this fearful ruin, they see not the trail of woe but simply their own selfish determinations and, regardless of consequences, they plunge ahead through blood and sorrow to Armageddon.

If All Goes Well

Yes, Armageddon! It looms in the distance. Nothing can stay it. John Sandes, writing on the first meeting of the League of Nations, as stated in the Sydney Daily Telegraph of April 6, writes, “Mr. Balfour rose . . . to inaugurate the meeting that may, if all goes well, mark a turning point in the history of the human race, but which threatens, if unhelped by its greatest spirits, to destroy itself by making every field a battlefield.” A strange comment on the world’s cherished hope!

Notice, “If all goes well.” All is not going well and is not likely to go well. The above-named writer mentions with some misgivings the meeting convened by the Dutch Government to consider like resolutions to those arrived at by the League of Nations’ representatives; for he states further, “Is the Dutch Government’s projected international court intended to be a rival of the international court which the League of Nations has set up? Why has the Dutch Government invited the assistance of jurists from Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, and Holland exclusively? Is it a mere coincidence that these are the countries which the programme of pre-war Pan-Germanism sought to sweep into the Pan-Germanic net? These are questions which time will answer.” It surely will tell. Still further the writer says, “It must be admitted that the League of Nations has made a useful beginning. More can hardly be said, seeing that chaotic Russia, restless Germany, and distracted America are among the nations that still remain outside.”

Here is independent action on behalf of minor nations with Russia, Germany, and America disinclined to join in the League that is to bring about a world-wide lasting peace. Not all the great nations will join the League, and therefore the way will still be left open for every field to become a battlefield.

The great minds endorse this, the newspapers confirm it, and conditions today are carrying all toward it. And the Word of God predicts it (Rev. 16:13-16), and we cannot escape it. We must recognise this national unrest as a sign of the end.

Another Sign

“As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. . . . Likewise as it was in the days of Lot.” Luke 17:26-28.

Lost in pleasure and debased by sensuality, besotted with drink and degraded by perverted appetites, the world is staggering to its grave. Humanity, weakened by its continual defeat in its pusillanimous attack on sin, has tottered on to the platform of irreverent bravado. It is toying with the serpents of worldly pleasures, burning lust, and unchecked appetites for harmful indulgences, and these, awaiting their time, will turn and strike them with death in the progress of its folly.

Facts and figures could be quoted to show the terrible certainty of the above texts. But it is unnecessary. Our towns and cities are burdened with immorality of the worst type. The world groans under its oppressive weight. It benumbs the senses, sears the conscience, and works to flout the purposes of God. The Saviour made no mistake when He drew the comparison.

The world has long since been moving downwards, but it has been gathering speed in its descent. Reader, if you have spurned God’s offer of salvation through faith in the power of Christ’s blood to cleanse and keep you, will you pause now and accept that offer? Make haste, for the time is short and He who has promised to come will come and will not tarry. God’s advertisements are in every conspicuous place. They tell us Christ is coming soon to close His work on earth. Will you step in now and secure for yourself a place in God’s eternal kingdom?

By the terms of the Peace Treaty if a majority in the first plebiscite zone pronounces for Denmark, the Danish Government will at once take over the territory.

THE Vialti-Tescari system of electric ploughing, lately tested near Rome, is very simple, says Science Siftings. A powerful electric capstan or winding apparatus is set up at one corner of the field, and wire cables are stretched from it entirely round the field. At two corners these cables pass through two securely anchored pulleys, while at the far corners they are connected with two movable anchor-waggons. A duplex plough mounted on wheels is drawn backward and forward across the field by the cable, and as each furrow is finished the anchor-waggons advance sufficiently to bring the plough into position for the next furrow. With an equal number of shares on each side of the wheels, the plough is not required to turn. In the tests made, a single plough reached a depth of about 20 inches in difficult ground at a cost of about 26s. per acre.

The Sin of Extravagance

“It may be a folly, but you would not think of calling extravagance a sin?” asked a young man of his minister.

“I do not care to offend you by harsh terms, but if we agree that it is a folly, that is reason enough for wishing to be wiser.”

“But it is very easy to spend money when one is with others, and one does not like to be called ‘tight.’”

“John,” said the minister, “I do not propose to argue with you, but I want to tell you two stories, both of them true, recent, and out of my own experience. They will illustrate the reason why, knowing you as well as I do, having baptised you and received you into the Church, I cannot view without concern your growing extravagance, and the company into which it leads you, and the interests from which it tends to separate you.

“A few months ago a young man came to this city, and spent his first days here under my own roof. I have known his father for many years, an earnest, faithful man, who has denied himself for that boy, and prayed for him, and done everything that a father ought.

“I chance to remember a word which his father spoke to me a number of years ago, when the boy was a young lad, and was recovering from a sickness that made it seem possible he would need a change of climate. I happen to remember meeting his father, who told me this, and how he was arranging in his own mind to change his business, to make any sacrifice, to move to the ends of the earth, if necessary, for that boy’s sake:

“The boy is not a bad boy. But he had not been in my home an hour before he asked me for the address of a tailor, and when his new suit came,—a suit which I thought he might very well have waited to earn,—it was silk-lined throughout. I do not believe the suit which his father wears as he passes the plate in church every Sunday is silk-lined.

“I knew what the boy was to earn, and could estimate what he could afford, and I knew that he could not buy that suit out of his own earnings.

“I had a letter from his father a few days ago. Shall I read it to you? It is very short. It reads as follows:—

“My dear Friend: I hope you will never know how hard it is for me to write to you to say that you must not under any circumstance lend money to my dear boy.”

“And those last three words make it the more pathetic.

“The second story, too, is recent. Another boy, from another State, came to this city, and for the first few Sundays attended our church. We tried to interest him in good things; we liked him, and did our best for him. I saw little in him to disturb me, except that he was spending more money than I could think he earned. Recently I received a letter from his father. It is longer, and I will not read it, but will tell you the substance of it. He wrote saying that his son was employed in a business where, with economy, he ought to be able to make a living from the start, and with hope of advancement, but that from the first week he had written home for money. Not only so, but the father had all too good reason to believe that the boy was still leaving bills unpaid. The father wrote to ask me whether he could not arrange with some one connected with the church to receive the boy’s money from home week by week, and see that it was applied to the uses for which it was sent. He added that he would be glad to consider himself a contributor to the church during the period of this arrangement.

“I had little hope that any arrangement of this kind would help matters, but I took it as indicating that the boy needed looking after, and I sent at once to look him up. Where, do you think we found him?—In gaol.

“These are not imaginary stories, nor are they of a remote past. And I see other young men for whom I am anxious. Wear the coat a little longer, but pay for it out of your own money. Be considered ‘tight’ if necessary; but live within your means. It is good sense; more than that, it is good religion.

“And now I will answer your question, or rather, you may answer it: Is extravagance merely a folly, or is it also a sin? What do you think?”—Youth’s Companion.

Australians Map the Road to Jerusalem

THE following cable, especially interesting to Australians, recently came through: Captain Thomas narrated how the British advance on Jerusalem was held up by the mountainous country. The old maps were found to be useless, and the Air Force was ordered to make a new map. An order was issued one night, and next day in one flight two Australians, Captain (now Sir) Ross Smith and Lieutenant Austin, photographed the whole area of thirty-seven square miles between the British force and the Holy City. Surveyors worked all the following night, and by next evening they had printed a map on a field press. Five days later Jerusalem was taken.

THE Methodists, the Protestant Episcopalians, the Congregationalists, and Baptists have opened colleges at Pekin, China, and between them, with Government assistance and recognition, have established a Christian university. By whom it is not disclosed, but they have been offered a splendid site in Pekin, if these churches in Europe and America will raise £400,000 to provide first-class buildings and equipment for the Christian university there. The offer has been accepted, and movements are now afoot to raise the money required. It is felt that a highly efficient Christian university in Pekin will have enormous influence in bringing that numerous people to know the gospel.
