"
It is all coming to pass exactly as the sure word of prophecy foretold.
The conviction that great and decisive events are at hand has taken
possession of many hearts in all the world. When the European war broke
out in 1914, on a scale unprecedented in human history, it was no wonder
that the question sprang to many lips, "Is it Armageddon?"
The question was not lightly asked. The committee of the Church
Missionary Society (Church of England), one of the greatest missionary
organizations in the world, sent a message to its missionaries in all
lands at the outbreak of the war. In this message was a call to prepare
for the coming of the Lord:
"It may be that these events will quickly usher in the return
of Christ to gather His saints together from the four quarters
of the earth.... Many see in the events preceding and
accompanying this terrible cataclysm of war the signs of our
Lord's near return. If so, blessed will that servant be whom
his Lord when He cometh shall find giving 'their food in due
season' to those fellow servants who have been put in his
charge.
