THE SURGING "RED TIDE" IN CENTRAL AMERICA - Gene H Hogberg - April 1982

Gene H Hogberg

The Soviets and the Cubans are moving swiftly to expand influence in Central America. What does this portend for the future of the free nations of the Western Hemisphere? Once a backwater of world affairs, Central America has grabbed the headlines-at least temporarily from the ongoing crisis in Poland and Eastern Europe. Fighting in tiny El Salvador, the current main battle line in the region, generates heated emotional reaction around the world. Few individuals it seems stop to reflect on all that is at stake in the widening dispute. Fewer yet know the main reason why turmoil in the region is spreading. It is not, as many news magazines portray, primarily a political and economic struggle between the "haves" and "have-nots." Here we make plain the real reason, and why God is allowing this crisis to punish the United States for its mounting sins. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
