Two things to learn from this; first, some people wouldn't recognize how dire things are. And if that's the case, conditions must be somewhat bearable...it wouldn't be totally drastic.
The truth in this is, that we can all stand accused of not seeing the greatness of this day we live in and the consequences we will face as a result.
The real bad time, the Great Tribulation, is soon to follow.
I see Christ did return as promissed in 1844. There is too much evidence for this not to be so.
That message offered all humanity the Most Great Peace, or as the Bible says, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven".
It is the rejection of that message that now feeds the death of the old world and a new world order now rolls out in its stead. We will all now face perilous times and Baha'u'llah has said.
"The world is in travail, and its agitation waxeth day by day. Its face is turned towards waywardness and unbelief. Such shall be its plight, that to disclose it now would not be meet and seemly. Its perversity will long continue. And when the appointed hour is come, there shall suddenly appear that which shall cause the limbs of mankind to quake. Then, and only then, will the Divine Standard be unfurled, and the Nightingale of Paradise warble its melody."
I think America, Russia and China face great danger as the world neglects to find unity.
Time will tell, it would be good if we could dibert the event to come, but it appears not many wish to see it is a posibility, let alone make the required changes.
Peace be upon all, Regards to all, Tony
