Politics and the Return of Christ

By Val Waldeck

Nuclear storms clouds are threatening to destroy our world as the nations prepare themselves for the Great Battle of Armageddon. We are living in one of the most exciting periods of this world's history. Time, as we know it, is rapidly drawing to a close as the coming of the Lord draws near. All over the world people are aware that something is happening.

This is the age of fulfillment of Bible prophecy and discerning believers see the signs everywhere. Our local newspapers and television bear testimony to that fact daily.
Before 1900 very few commentaries were written on prophetical books like Daniel and Revelation. It was not easy in those days to understand, for example, how something lodged in the human body would enable a person to "buy and sell" (Rev. 13:16,17) — or the possibility of the whole world simultaneously viewing an event in Jerusalem (Rev. 11:9-12).

The Old Testament prophet, Daniel, wrote that end-time prophecy would be more clearly understood as knowledge increases in the last days and it is an exciting fact.
"But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased — for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end." (Dan. 12:4,9 KJV).

As historical events unfold THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES are evident for all who will see. Paul wrote in 1 Thess. 5:4 "But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief." The Lord Jesus Christ put it this way: "And when these things begin to come to pass, then LOOK UP, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh." (Luke 21:28).

The prophesied Global Government, Global Economic System and Global Religion are forming before our eyes. The prophesied Global Government, Global Economic System and Global Religion are forming before our eyes. "Politics and the Return of Christ" takes a challenging look at modern events in the light of Bible prophecy relating to the Second Coming of Christ.

The nations are rushing to Armageddon.

Introduction

THE LORD is coming at the appointed time. That is a definite and reliable fact. While the signs of the times are evident for all to see, many will be surprised and shocked at the suddenness of it all (2 Peter 3:10-12).

Wise indeed is the individual who has an understanding of the times (1 Chronicles 12:32) and who is watching for His Return (Matthew 24:42).

You will hear of wars and rumours of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

(Matthew 24:6,7a)
