Revelation by Stephen Picklesimer (best large ereader txt) 📕

Book of Revelation Unveiled at Last! Herbert W. Armstrong wrote the following, under the subhead “Where Are We Today in Prophecy?”:
“But now, finally, do you realize where we stand today? We are in the semi-chaotic lull between the second and third world wars. But one thing is prophesied for NOW! One of these prophesied events is taking place this instant. In His great Olivet prophecy, which was the very key to the symbols of Revelation, the disciples asked Jesus privately what would be the sign of His coming, and the end of this WORLD—today’s world!
“When Jesus told them of the many who would go forth preaching in His Name, proclaiming that Jesus is the CHRIST, yet deceiving the world as to Christ’s Gospel—that was not the END. The famine and the pestilence to come was not the sign of His coming and of the end of this world. The series of WORLD WARS was not the sign of His coming, and of the end. It is only in verse 14 of this prophecy that He gave it. I want you to notice the tremendous significance of this: ‘And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come’ (Matt. 24:14).
“There it is! Jesus proclaimed the Gospel of the KINGDOM OF GOD—which is the GOOD NEWS of the WORLD TOMORROW! Soon men went out proclaiming CHRIST—they appropriated His Name and the prestige of His Name in order to deceive the world, and to HIDE from the world the MESSAGE that Christ brought. But, in this end-time, when the end of this age is at hand, this same Gospel of the Kingdom of God—the GOVERNMENT of God—being born into the family of God—this same Gospel is now once again being announced to ALL THE WORLD! That prophecy is being fulfilled...”
