In the Bible it is foretold that mankind will come to experience a Doomsday or an Armageddon during which the devil will rage with all his might. People will be persecuted and murdered by other people. Everyone will be at war with everyone else. In reality it is nothing less than the culmination of darkness or so-called "evil" itself that is foretold. This prediction goes on to say that after the dark epoch of Doomsday a new kingdom will arise, a kingdom that will span the entire earth. In this kingdom there will exist only justice. And the people will constitute only one flock and one shepherd, which means one people and one government, one religion (the holy spirit) and one God. By then darkness will have disappeared, and mankind will have been saved or liberated from the murderous and all-destructive might of Armageddon or Doomsday.
      Is there any truth in such a prediction? Will such an epoch of terror for mankind really arise, and what purpose would such a situation have? Apart from the fact that the prediction of this epoch is confirmed through the words of Christ, it would not in the long run mean anything whatsoever if life itself did not confirm the fulfilment of the prophecy as living fact for us here in the twentieth century.
