[edit]Battle of Armageddon to begin in 1914
[edit]"We are on the eve of the battle of Armageddon, referred to in the 16th chapter of Revelation. The time is two years hence, when only a spark will set aflame the whole of Europe.
"The social unrest in all countries, the growing religious skepticism, antecedent to the millennium, are already here. Only a spark will set aflame the whole of Europe, as prophesied in the verses of Daniel and in the Book of John.
"Before 1917 kingdoms will be annihilated, cataclysms will rock the earth. Then all nations shall be as one faith and all men as brothers and these fruitless strifes and ruinous wars shall pass away, and the 'Most Great Peace' shall come, and man shall not glory in this, that he loves his country, but rather in that he loves his kind."
