The Eternal World Picture, vol. 1
A.2 The world situation or the announced "Doomsday"
That this demonstration is necessary is shown by the world situation today.
It is such that one is obliged to express it as the condition of Armageddon, which, according to Christ, would come to human beings in the "last days".
Is it not further said in the biblical account about the future that the "devil shall rage in all his power"?
What is it that we have seen in the form of the two world wars that have raged within terrestrial mankind in this century?
Have we not seen attempts to wipe out populous towns with their inhabitants and cultural assets?
Have people not even tried to annihilate a whole human race?
Have we not seen millions of human beings murdered – not only on the fronts in the defence of their country, or in the attack on other peoples' living space, but also in their civil life, being sent to gas chambers and here directly being murdered without any judicial or lawful proceedings, and naturally quite without any regard to the vitally important commands: "Thou shalt not kill", "Thou shalt forgive thy neighbour", "Put up again thy sword into his place; for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword"?
Is not the fulfilment of all the law just the command: "Thou shalt love thy God above all things and thy neighbour as thyself"?
Where is the belief in a loving God and practical Christian culture in this Doomsday existence, where crowds of human beings, children as well as grown-ups, old as well as young, have languished unto death in the terrible concentration or death camps, which threw shadows of devil-consciousness all over the Earth?
