I have to mention the total eclipse. When the moon passed directly in front of the sun, you could look up without any glasses. It appeared as if the sun’s activity, shooting flames into space, went outside the moon’s blockage, and it was a sight to behold. Having never traveled to witness the phenomenon, this…
This article was originally published in The Plain Truth magazine in May of 1962. In many ways it was ahead of its time. European unity has been a long and complicated process, but the very type of federation predicted now exists. A common currency, an external border and a unified European Parliament have overshadowed individual…

In the previous edition of 21st Century Watch, the article “What Will the Beast Be Like?” explained some of the attributes of the end-time Beast power.

Jesus Christ said the following in Matthew 24:15-16, “Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place –– let the reader understand –– then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.” Continuing, Jesus describes just what this event leads to….
We WATCH world events, as Christ commanded in Matthew 24:42. But what exactly are we watching for? The machinations of politics cause power to ebb and flow. Earthquakes, diseases, famines and wars come and go. Economies teeter on the brink of collapse until massive interventions (usually debt based) send markets rallying to new heights, preserving…
