THIS IS "THE TIME OF THE END"! - Clayton D Steep - February 1984

Clayton D Steep

This present world crisis is identified as the biblical "time of the end." Here is the proof. Why shouldn't we have world peace? Why not beat weapons in to plowshares and pruning hooks? Why not live in a world of justice and universal prosperity? Such a world is described repeatedly by prophets in the Hebrew scriptures in Isaiah 2:2- 4 and Micah 4: 1-4, for example. They point to the end of one age and the beginning of a magnificent new age. Two thousand years ago, those prophecies were on the minds of many in the land of Judea at the time of the birth of Jesus. Events taking place during the course of Jesus' life caused a heightening of expectation. Would the Messiah set up his kingdom then? Many believed so. The Bible records at least one occasion when Jesus had to flee because a crowd was preparing to take him by force and make him king (John 6:14-15). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
