(Daniel 2:44) Literally the kingdoms of earth
are being broken in pieces, and any one who takes a map of Europe today
and looks it over can see how completely this prophecy is now in course
of fulfillment. Nearly all the kings of earth are gone and their
kingdoms are broken in pieces and are being consumed. This is being done
because the Lord is present, because the old world has ended and he is
clearing away the unrighteous things to make way for his new and
righteous government.
[434]Furthermore Jesus said concerning the end of the world within the
time of his second presence: "Then shall they deliver you up to be
afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for
my name's sake". (Matthew 24:9) "But take heed to yourselves: for they
shall deliver you up to councils [courts]; and in the synagogues ye
shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my
sake, for a testimony against them." (Mark 13:9) "But before all these,
they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up
to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and
rulers for my name's sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony."
(Luke 21:12,13) Literally did these Scriptures have fulfillment in the
years 1917, 1918, and 1919. The World War furnished the excuse for the
world-wide persecution of humble and honest and faithful Christians.
