"Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near."Apocalypse 1:3The world is sliding into chaos, right before our eyes, at an ever-increasing speed. Meanwhile, immorality, crime, violence, poverty, political corruption, perverted lifestyles being legitimised, violence between races increasing, sickness and disease, famine and starvation stalk the Earth in fast-increasing acceleration. The present world situation; the strife between major nuclear powers; the constantly accelerating international tensions; the internal upward spiral within nations of crime, race riots, violence of any sort; the fast increasing external invasion of terror, is all very frightful. Terrorist groups, unable to attain their goals by conventional arm or diplomacy, now have access to such deadly weapons. Respectful advisers on international security warn that the danger of nuclear weapons being used by the rogue nations or terrorist groups grows even higher. Nuclear weapons are only one of several means of mass destruction available to unscrupulous leaders and terrorists bent on achieving their ends by any means, including mass carnage. These facts are combining to plunge the world into a holocaust of destruction and death such as has never been seen before – and never shall again!Valdemar Marques graduated with a Bachelor of Theology from the University of South Africa in 1991.
