WORLD IS ENDED AND MILLIONS NOW LIVING WILL NEVER DIE

NCdIS. ineN DaU tnelr beginning
with the overthrow of Zedekiah the
last King of Israel, in the autumn
OF COG b. C.. at the time Nebuchad-
ncyzar of Babylon established the
first Universal Empire in the earth.
This period Of 1920 years, then, nee
eSSarily ended in the autumn of
1914 A. ID. Referring to this period
of time, the Great Master, through
the Revelator, said: "The nations
were angry, and thy wrath is come.
uley. II: lS). This prophecy was
fulfilled exactly on time.
We now submit the testimony of
Jesus of Nazareth. Everyone who
believes that he is the Son of God.
and that he spoke with authority,
must believe, in the light of the
events that are daily transpiring
that the old world has ended. Je.
sllS had been teaching his diciples
that the world would end. and that
he would come again and that his
kingdom should Supplant the old.
uprighteouS order. Five days be-
/ fore his cruCiilcton. his dicipleS
approached him aS he sat on the
Mount of Olives and propounded
this question:: Tell us when will
This happen? What will be the sign
, tprooD of your arrival, and of the
cnl of the world?"
II was not Gods purpose that the
diciples should at that time clearly
understand the answer that the
Master gave. His answer was couch
ed in such prophetic phrases that
il could be understood clearly by
no student of the Bible, until the
events transpired. His answer, in
| the light OF present events, how
ever, is now manifest. He showed
that the end of the world would
! be marked with great trouble and
disturbances in the earth. His an
swerS are set for in the oath chap
ter OF Matt. and the 21st chapter of
Luke. Among the answers given by
him are the following: "Nations
shall rise against nations, and
Kingdoms against kingdoms, and
there shall be famines, and pestil-
ences, and earthquakes in divers
places. All these are the beginning
of sorrow" Mat. "a: 7, 8.
Chronologically, the old world
ended in the autumn season of
1914, and exactly on time nation
rose against nation and Kingdom
against kingdom, and there follow
ed the greatest war Of all history.
Twenty-nine nations were involv-
ed in that war, including by far
The greater part Of the earth's p0-
pulation. The nations that were in
, volved are particularly designated
, among mankind az Christian ma
/ tions. True to the prophetic ut
e terances, this was the beginning of
. sorrow, marking the end of the
Q world.
y Closely, followed further full
c fillment OF this prophetic answer;
G namely, famine. Notwithstanding
: the fertile condition of the earth,
+. and the wonderful means OF pro-
! duction, the conditions accompan-
= iEg the war made it necessary TO
d establish in nearly every country a
il food administrator. That the peo-
l, pie have been in condition OF
e famine for the past three years no
C one would attempt to gainsay. From
2, Armenia comes the cry to day of
e threatened siarvation; a similar cry
e, from Russia; from Germany; from
At Austria; from the Balkans; in fact
I, from nearly all paris Of the earth.
D, Ii is to be expected that this con-
N dition of food shortage will grow
e worse.
T. Following upon the heels of the
d war and the food shortage came
al tho greatest pestilence that has af-
ilicted mankind. In four years the
c, war victims numbered approximate.
Is ly 0,000,000. In less than one year
II the victims of the dread influenza

l. ence because the lack Of food, caus
