The recent flurry of world-shaking catastrophes has caused even President Reagan to wonder if we are not approaching "Armageddon" and the end of this world. Suddenly, unexpected mind-boggling disasters fill the news. September 1, the deliberate shooting down by Soviet warplanes of the Korean passenger flight 007, killing 269 civilian passengers. Then October 23, the Beirut massacres, killing 230 sleeping U.S. Marines and 58 French peace-keeping soldiers. Just prior, October 9, 17 South Korean officers assassinated in Burma. November 4, four days ago as I write, in Lebanon again, 29 Israelis killed. October 25, the U.S. military intervention in Grenada iust in time to prevent a Soviet-Cuban takeover of much of the Caribbean that could possibly have led to a Central American takeover by the Soviet-Cuban forces, which in turn could have led to Soviet takeover of the entire United States. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
