Our CO's final talk on Sunday was about the Last Days. He focused on 4 things - 1) events 2) attitudes 3) political circumstances 4) the situation among God's people.
In the "Events' section, at one point he focused in on Matt 24:7, "nation rising against nation", and asked, "But on what scale would this be?" He took us to Rev 6:4 (the four horsemen account) - there the fiery-colored horse was granted to "take peace away from the EARTH." Also, the scripture says that the slaughter would be great - and he pointed out the difference between a battle 200 years ago with a solider and a sword or a pike or a musket - that it is hard to kill someone with a sword, and in a battle, how many men could you kill in hand to hand combat - and then pointed out that when, for instance, the machine gun was used, the slaughter was great - think about the soldiers coming ashore at Normandy and being gunned down . . .or bombs - in Dresden, 100,000 killed, think about Hiroshima.
Was thought provoking and really evidence where we are in time.
