(Continued from Page 3)
they can see in the events of our
day certain signs connected with
the last days of the present age.
The Jews were very much
Interested in signs that the end
of the age might be near. But
Jesus himself seemed to be un
concerned with these warning
?vents. Rather, he taught that
the end would come suddenly
and without warning. It would
seem, therefore, that those who
think they can tell when the end
will come cannot call upon the
authority of Jesus to support
their prediction*.
"There Is Still Time. Brother"
Most careful readers of the
New Testament are impressed
by the conviction of those who
wrote its books that the time
was short and that the last day*
were at hand. In nearly every
age of the history of the church,
from the earliest church down
to recent times, the conviction
has continued that Judgment is
coming soon. More than two
hundred years ago, in the first
American revival movement,
Jonathan Edwards sent congre
gations to their knees and into
fainting spells with sermons that
clearly described the punish
ments of the Last Judgment.
In the nineteenth century, op
timism generally prevailed.
Though there were civil wars I
in many countries, including our
own, most persons felt that man
was coming into a new age.
But the beginning of the pres
ent century, many persons, in
cluding religious leaders, were
sure that the Kingdom would
be realized in this world dur
ing this century.
In the early years of this cen
tury, books, magazines, and
speeches suggested that the new
day was almost within grasp.
Certainly there were still many
problems. Society still had not
solved all its ills. But men were
confident that the new age was
close.
Then came the awful tragedy
of the first World War. At first,
Americans were confident that
it would not last long. Then,
through a series of events, I
America entered the war.
By the time the Armistice
was signed in 1918, the age oi
idealism and optimism that had
characterized Western civiliza
tion in the earlier years of the
century was gone. Disillusion
ment set in, and men spoke no
longer of building the kingdom
of God upon this earth.
Then followed the depression,
the second World War, and the
beginning of the atomic age.
Suddenly the old ideas of the
Bible, which talked about the
sounding of a trumpet and the
earth dissolving, seemed real
once again.
It is now clear that man bad
overestimated his own abilities
and bad underestimated tb*
world he had created. For Z
while it looked as if man could
create his own salvation. He
was able to make the tools, ha
thought, that would construct
the new heaven and the new
earth. By the end of the nlne
teen-forties many persons had
come to believe that man had
