WHERE ARE WE GOING! - Gene H Hogberg - February 1984

Gene H Hogberg

The world is racing toward the end of the century. And the role of Germany once again on founds both Moscow and Washington. The last months of 1983 produced a string of startling, unexpected events. On the first day of September, a South Korean civilian airliner was shot from the skies, having inexplicably flown over Soviet territory in the Far East. The world barely recovered from this shock when the next month produced a series of stunning incidents. First, on October 9, 17 top South Korean officials, four of them cabinet ministers, were assassinated in a bomb blast while visiting Rangoon, Burma. Later, three officials of the North Korean military, who had slipped into the country before the explosion, were charged with the gruesome murder. Later in the month, horrific bomb blasts took the lives of nearly 300 French and American members of the multinational "peacekeeping" forces in Beirut, Lebanon. Two weeks later, Israelis and Arabs perished in a similar incident. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
