Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread,"
The Bible speaks of the great battle of Armageddon in Revelation 16; also, it speaks of a time of trouble coming on the world like the world has never seen before (see Daniel 12). Please note: it is not God who brings that trouble on the earth, and it is not God who provokes the battle of Armageddon. God does not bring disaster--wicked people bring such troubles on the earth. A good example was the tragedy in Rwanda--which was entirely man-made.
The same seeds of rebellion and hatred which produced that strife have been sown in all the world. And it is this spiritual rebellion against the law of God that will eventually lead the world into the time of trouble and the battle of Armageddon.
But in the meantime, there is another spiritual power at work in the world to bring peace and harmony, to make life livable. That is the power of the gospel, the good news, of Christ. Whenever and wherever it is permitted to be proclaimed, there come the peaceable fruits of righteousness, and nations are blessed.
In Revelation 7:1-4 we see a vivid picture of what is happening behind the scenes--the news behind the headlines. Four terrible winds of human passion are about to burst loose like a wild tornado, but God sends four special angels to hold back those four winds until a special work is performed among mankind. Another angel is seen with the seal of God, and God tells the four angels, Hold those terrible four winds until we have sealed the servants of God in their foreheads. That seal of God is what prepares sinners like you and me to be ready for the second coming of Christ, to be ready to stand for the Lord through earth's last time of trouble.
That sealing work is going forward today. A vast number from every nation, kindred, tongue, and people will gladly receive the seal of God and they will refuse the mark of the beast. You are invited to be one of them!
