--VERY SIMPLY STATED, we are living in the time period called the "time of the end"/"last days"OR "conclusion of the system of things" in which God will annialate the wicked and their activity in "the war to end all wars" ---- Armageddon!(Rev. 16:14,16)
--SATAN IS VERY angry because:
(Revelation 12:10) “. . .NOW have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God!...
...12 On this account be glad, YOU heavens and YOU who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time.”
--IN OUR RESEARCH we find that 1914 started that "SHORT PERIOD OF TIME" , far different from any other time in history , as Jesus foretold it would at Matthew 24:3-8!

**1914—The Turning Point in History
--30 From the human standpoint, the world troubles and global wars foretold in the Bible were far from the thinking of the pre-1914 world. --
--German statesman Konrad Adenauer said: “Thoughts and pictures come to my mind, . . . thoughts from the years before 1914 when there was real peace, quiet and security on this earth—a time when we didn’t know fear. . . . Security and quiet have disappeared from the lives of men since 1914.”25
--People living before 1914 thought that the future “would get better and better,” reported British statesman Harold Macmillan.26 The book 1913: America Between Two Worlds notes: “Secretary of State Bryan said [in 1913] that ‘conditions promising world peace were never more favorable than now.’”27
--31 So, right up to the very brink of World War I, world leaders were forecasting an age of social progress and enlightenment. But the Bible had foretold the opposite—that the unprecedented war of 1914 to 1918 would highlight the beginning of “the last days.” (2 Timothy 3:1) The Bible also provided chronological evidence that 1914 would mark the birth of God’s heavenly Kingdom, to be followed by unprecedented world trouble.28 But was anyone living back then aware that 1914 would be such a turning point in history?
***32 DECADES BEFORE THAT DATE, there was an organization of people who were making known the significance of 1914. The New York World of August 30, 1914, explains: “The terrific war outbreak in Europe has fulfilled an extraordinary prophecy. For a quarter of a century past, through preachers and through press, the ‘International Bible Students’ [Jehovah’s Witnesses] . . . have been proclaiming to the world that the Day of Wrath prophesied in the Bible would dawn in 1914. ‘Look out for 1914!’ has been the cry of the . . . evangelists.”29
--JESUS STATED AT Matthew 24 , that his prophecy would be "the beginning of pangs of distress".....THUS the terrible conditions he foretold would esculate!
--HAVE THEY not done that?
--HAS THE tide ever turned since 1914?--History says NO!

People are very busy blaming others....cursing the darkness, rather than lighting even one little candle.

People are spending too much time worrying about God and not enough time learning about themselves and the world they live in.

People are born, they live and they die. Meanwhile, they are doing a few other insignifiant things
