Does anyone doubt that God. who
holds the nations in the hollow OF ills
hand, has the power TO END A
WORLD? God ended the First World
with a flood and saved eight people over
into the Second World which ended
chronologlcally in 1914 People before

rain came. the water covered the earth
and mountains, and the First World
persisted. not the earth. but the gov
ernments and institutions on the earth.
The Third World which We have a.
ready entered IS on the same earth that
the FIRST ana Second Worlds were on.
Does anyone question the power OF
our Almighty God TO bring back from
the dead to our loving arms "Our Boys"
who are lighting for Liberty? In John
