Our planet and all our nations are faced with natural
disasters, famine, earthquakes, wars, and total destruction.
We even see the word "Armageddon" appearing
in news headlines.
Will we soon experience World War III?
Will the world soon experience Armageddon?
On today's program, we'll be offering you a free
study guide that will answer those questions.

The 1998 popular movie "Armageddon" portrayed an
incoming asteroid the size of Texas that would
destroy all life on earth.
NASA recruits a team of oil drillers to save the world.
Perhaps you have seen that sobering movie.
Are we today in danger of incoming
earth-destroying asteroids?
Astronomy.com describes the meteor that exploded
over Siberia in 2013:
"On February 15, 2013, a small asteroid, perhaps
measuring 20 meters across, came down over the southern
Urals of Russia, barreling in at about 19 km/s,
and exploded over Chelyabinsk Oblast,
near the town of Chelyabinsk.
With a mass greater than that of the Eiffel Tower,
the asteroid exploded in an airburst, unleashing energy
equal to about 500 kilotons of TNT, some 20 or 30 times
the energy released in the Hiroshima atomic explosion."
Continuing the report, author David J. Eicher
describes the dangers we face today:
"The risk from asteroids impacting Earth and
causing widespread damage, death, and catastrophe is
real, and is present every day of our lives.
But it is to a degree a counterintuitive threat,
which makes it hard for some people to take seriously.
The risk at any given moment is almost
nonexistent, but given enough time,
a catastrophic event will happen again.
Do we need to worry about an asteroid strike during
our next foray out to lunch?
Probably not.
But someday a large enough asteroid with Earth's name
on it will enter the picture, causing horror
and mayhem for humanity.
Unless we do something about it, that is."
Your Bible reveals future astronomical events
as well as major military conflicts.
Revelation the sixth chapter describes cosmic disturbances:
"And the stars of heaven fell to the earth,
as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken
by a mighty wind.
Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up,
and every mountain and island was moved out of its place."
The movie "Armageddon" used the title to depict the
cataclysmic end-of-the-world danger described in your Bible.
Bible scholars describe Armageddon as the final
battle between good and evil.
Who will win that battle?
Will the world survive Armageddon?
And will you be able to escape "Armageddon"?
Stay tuned.

Warm greetings to all our friends around the world.
The word "Armageddon" has come to symbolize the
final battle between good and evil.
Will Armageddon trigger ultimate destruction of planet Earth?
Or will divine intervention from outer space save us all?
We'll answer that question on today's program and
we'll be offering you a free study guide that reveals the
future of the world from the pages of your Bible.

Armageddon warns us of a World War III.
World War II ended in 1945, more than 75 years ago.
Younger generations today may know little of its
history, the suffering, global trauma and the
loss of scores of millions of lives.
To many at the time, the devastating conflict between
nations appeared as if the end of the world was near.
But the Allied nations prevailed against Nazi
Germany and fascist Italy, and VE day, Victory in
Europe Day, was proclaimed on May 8, 1945.
The war in the Pacific continued with Japan's
military forces striving to control more and more territory.
U.S. President Harry Truman approved the dramatic
strategy to shorten the war with the newly
invented weapon of mass destruction.
On August 6 and August 9 of 1945 the United States
dropped the first ever atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki in Japan, killing more than 150,000.
The nation of Japan surrendered unconditionally
on September 2, 1945, ending World War II.
In his victory broadcast from the USS Missouri
battleship, General Douglas MacArthur
summarized the historic lesson of war.
General MacArthur repeated these words in his farewell
address to Congress on April 19, 1951:
"Military alliances, balances of power, leagues of nations,
all in turn failed, leaving the only path
to be the way of the crucible of war.
The utter destructiveness of war now blocks out
this alternative.
We have had our last chance.
If we will not devise some greater and more equitable
system, Armageddon will be at our door."
Yes, Armageddon will be at our door.
Or as General MacArthur pronounced it: "Har Magaddon
will be at our door." Turn to Revelation 16:16,
"And they gathered them together to
the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon."
The original Hebrew is "Har Magaddon", or
the Mount of Megiddo.
The armies of the world will gather in northern
Israel at Megiddo before marching south to Jerusalem.
Megiddo is located about 55 miles north of
Jerusalem in Israel.
In ancient times it guarded the main trade
routes between Egypt and Damascus.
It also overlooks the biggest plain in Israel,
the Valley of Jezreel-- as it's called in the Bible--
or the Plain of Esdraelon.
The kings of the east cross westward across
the Euphrates River.
They meet up with other superpower armies at Megiddo.
The book of Revelation describes this gathering
as the sixth of the seven last plagues.
They gather at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon,
then move southward to Jerusalem to fight Christ there.
Notice Joel 3:1, "For behold, in those days and
at that time, when I bring back the captives of Judah
and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and
bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
and I will enter into judgment with them there."
The Valley of Jehoshaphat is between the Mount
of Olives and the city of Jerusalem.
It's also known as the Kidron Valley, which
extends southward for some distance.
Yes, the Battle of the Great Day of God Almighty
will take place at Jerusalem.
Jehoshaphat means "judgment of the Eternal."
God will judge the nations in this climactic battle.
Your Bible reveals the sequence of events
leading up to Armageddon.
The Savior, Jesus Christ, revealed major prophetic
signs leading up to the great climax and the end of this age.
He also proclaimed a new age to come; we call it
Tomorrow's World.
Jesus preached the gospel, the good news of a coming
world-ruling government called the Kingdom of God.
You can read about that in Mark 1:14-15.
Jesus answered His disciples' question
concerning the end of the world or the end of the age.
Matthew 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom will
be preached in all the world as a witness to all
the nations, and then the end will come."
What signs should we watch for?
And what sequence of prophetic events should we expect?
Our revealing free booklet we're offering today features
a chart showing the sequence of major prophetic events.
Bible prophecy reveals the three and one-half year period
leading up to the end of the age.
And what signals the end of this sad world of
failed human governments?
Turn in your Bible to Revelation 11:15,
"Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices
in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world
have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His
Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"
How will the nations of the world respond
to that announcement?
Will they rejoice with every true Christian who
is daily praying for the Kingdom to come?
We'll answer that question in the next part of our program.
But first I'd like to offer you this exciting free booklet
titled, Armageddon and Beyond.
This study guide will cover the sequence of prophetic
events leading up to World War III and Armageddon.
And it reveals the good news of life beyond Armageddon.
Here in the center is a chart showing End-Time
Prophetic Milestones.
They include the Great Tribulation, the Heavenly Signs,
the Day of the Lord, and the Second Coming.

In the first part of our program, we saw that the
world's armies will gather at Megiddo, in northern
Israel, ready to oppose the returning Jesus Christ.
Will that battle affect you?
Nations will at first reject the returned Savior.
Revelation 11:18, "The nations were angry...."
They will resist the divine world-ruling
kingdom and even go to war against it.
The end-time superpower, the last revival of the
Roman Empire, called the "Beast" in the book of
Revelation, supported by ten worldly kings or
kingdoms, will fight a futile war against the
coming King of kings.
Revelation 17:12, "The ten horns which you saw are
ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet,
but they receive authority for one hour as kings
with the beast.
These are of one mind, and they will give their power
and authority to the beast.
These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb
will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King
of kings; and those who are with Him are called,
chosen, and faithful."
The book of Revelation reveals a sequence of
major battles of World War III.
Just read Revelation the ninth chapter.
Armies east of the Euphrates River move
westward using powerful weapons to destroy one
third of earth's population.
The Apostle John records this prophetic vision in
Revelation 9:17-18,
"And thus I saw the horses in the vision:
those who sat on them had breastplates
of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow;
and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions;
and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.
By these three plagues a third of mankind was
killed--by the fire and the smoke and the
brimstone which came out of their mouths."
Are military forces even now preparing for World War III?
Our Tomorrow's World magazine subscribers
are aware of major military developments.
The April-May 2023 edition featured this question:
"Has World War III Already Begun?"
Editor in chief Gerald Weston cites several
individuals, including Pope Francis, who state
that World War III has already begun:
"'The world is at war,' he said.
'For me, today, World War III has been declared.
This is something that should give us pause for thought.
What is happening to humanity that we have had
three world wars in a century?'"
Today's nations are increasing their nuclear capabilities.
Nine nations around the world are confirmed to
have nuclear weapons.
The combined power from these weapons could
destroy all human life on earth several times over.
On page 5 of the Armageddon booklet, this chart shows the
estimated number of nuclear warheads each possesses.
They are Russia, the United States, France,
China, the United Kingdom, Israel, India, Pakistan,
and North Korea.
October 2022 marked the 60th anniversary of the
Cuban Missile Crisis.
That was a time when the whole world was facing a
potential Armageddon.
On that anniversary, the Bulletin of Atomic
Scientists made this sobering announcement:
"Russia's invasion of Ukraine and its nuclear
saber-rattling have roused the nuclear war genie,
with the word 'Armageddon' creeping into general discussion
during the 60th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
That 35-day crisis (Oct. 16- Nov. 20, 1962) remains a
definitive moment in United States national security
history and was the general public's first up-close-and-
personal introduction to the real possibility
of nuclear war."
We'll continue with more exciting biblical
prophecies in the next portion of our program.

My friends, many of you experienced the Cuban
Missile Crisis of 1962.
You faced the frightening reality of what seemed
to be a real Armageddon.
Evangelist Gerald Weston described those dangers in
a Tomorrow's World magazine article titled
"Cold War Secrets, Broken Arrows, and the Fate of
Humanity." "The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962
nearly brought the world to the unthinkable:
a nuclear exchange between the United States and the
Soviet Union--in popular parlance, 'Armageddon.'
Although it was understood to be a close call during
those 13 tense days in October, few would learn
just how close it was until decades later--
and most people still do not know." The magazine cover
featured this sobering summary: "Cold War Secrets Revealed!
How one man's decision prevented global Armageddon."
My friends, we need to face reality.
Billions of human beings on earth will die--as war,
hunger, and disease expand over the planet.
Yes, we will face the extreme danger of human annihilation.
The fourth seal of Revelation pictures
the four horsemen combining their powers.
The world will suffer massive deaths of men,
women, and children.
Turn to Revelation the sixth chapter.
The Apostle John, who wrote the book of
Revelation under God's inspiration, sees in
vision the famous four horsemen of the Apocalypse.
They symbolize, in order, false christs and false
religion, war and its devastating effects,
famines that normally follow on the heels of war,
and pestilence and disease that follow after famine.
The Apostle John writes in Revelation 6:8,
"So I looked, and behold, a pale horse.
And the name of him who sat on it was Death,
and Hades followed with him.
And power was given to them over a fourth of the
earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death,
and by the beasts of the earth."
The fifth seal, as we read in Revelation 6:9, reveals
a martyrdom of Christians during the tribulation
period of about two and one-half years.
Then we read about the sixth seal, which introduces
the time of God's wrath and judgment on the nations.
The sixth seal is referred to as the heavenly signs.
Revelation 6:12, "I looked when He opened the sixth
seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair,
and the moon became like blood.
And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree
drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up,
and every mountain and island was moved out of its place."
These heavenly signs, as they are called, introduce
the Day of the Lord.
The Day of the Lord is the time of God's wrath and
judgment on an unthankful, rebellious world.
Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, will be wrathful.
He'll execute God's righteous judgments.
The Day of the Lord, here in Revelation 6:17,
is called "the great Day of His wrath!"
The Day of the Lord will bring God's judgments on the nations.
Let's understand.
There are three prophetic milestones leading up to
Christ's return. They are:
1. The Great Tribulation;
2. The Heavenly Signs;
and 3. The Day of the Lord.
These three events cover a period of about
three and one-half years.
There are over thirty prophecies in your Bible
referring to the Day of the Lord.
Isaiah 34:8 and Isaiah 63:4 show that the Day
of the Lord in end-time prophecy, the time
preceding the Second Coming, is a period of one year.
You might want to write down those references:
Isaiah 34:8 and Isaiah 63:4.
Revelation the nineteenth chapter describes Christ's great
heavenly army descending to the earthly Armageddon battleground.
Revelation 19:11,
"Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse.
And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True,
and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head
were many crowns.
He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.
He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His
name is called The Word of God.
And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen,
white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with
it He should strike the nations.
And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.
He Himself treads the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name
written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
My friends, what side will you choose when judgment day comes?
Will you choose to be on the side of the King who
will rule the earth and bring it lasting peace?
As we just saw in Revelation 17,
faithful Christians will follow Christ.
Revelation 17:14, "and those who are with Him are
called, chosen, and faithful."

We all need to watch for prophetic signs
leading to Armageddon.
The kings of the earth and their armies will gather
in northern Israel to fight against the Savior,
Jesus Christ, at His coming.
Again be sure to read that in Revelation 19:19.
The King of kings will conquer these rebellious,
oppressive nations.
But how can you personally prepare for the
challenging times ahead?
My friends, will you escape Armageddon?
Notice the admonition by the Lord Jesus Christ in Luke 21:36,
"Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted
worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass,
and to stand before the Son of Man."
Perhaps you have not been praying.
Now is the time to get down on your knees and cry
out to God for a change in your life.
Isaiah 55:6-7 tells you how to draw close to God.
"Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon
Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous
man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, and He
will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He
will abundantly pardon."
God promises to bless you and forgive you,
If you seek Him with your whole heart.
The solution to the world's problem lies in
the future change in human nature.
Beyond Armageddon, the new world government,
comprised of Christ and the saints,
will teach the way to peace.
Yes, during the millennium, there will be
a renewal of human character and the human spirit.
The Kingdom of God will rule over all nations
for a thousand years.
Pray for that Kingdom to come.
We look forward to the time beyond Armageddon when
the prophecy of Zechariah 14:9 will be fulfilled:
"And the LORD shall be King over all the earth."
Yes, the Prince of Peace will govern the world's
nations with love and justice, guaranteeing a world
of prosperity and abundant living for all peoples.
