Do You Know? What the Bible Foretells
About Today And Tomorrow?
PAGE 3
Do You Know that the story of mankind runs through the Bible from
Genesis to Revelation?
Do You Know that hundreds of Bible passages foretell the world’s
present conditions—and their outcome?
Do You Know that the light of both nature and revelation clearly
proclaims the fact that an intelligent, omniscient, all powerful, and righteous
God is the creator of all things, and that "all things" animate and
inanamate are subject to his control?
A "New World"—That is, A New
Social Order
Do You Knowthat the present social order is not thoroughly
satisfactory to good men—rich or poor—although no human instrumentality is able
to arrange for or introduce a better one?
Do You Know that Jesus taught his followers to pray for a new
governmental and social order on earth, saying: "Pray ye...Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done on
earth, as it is in heaven?"
And that all true Christians have been
praying this prayer for over nineteen hundred years?
Do You Know—or did you ever stop to think—that God’s will is done
perfectly throughout heaven, and that when it is "done on earth as it
is in heaven," it must be done perfectly throughout the earth?

Worldwide Peace to Come
Do You Know that Isaiah the Prophet declares:
It shall come to pass in the latter days,
that the mountain of Jehovah’s house shall be established on the top of the
mountains, and shall be exalted on the top of the mountains, and shall be
exalted above the hills, and all the nations shall flow unto it. And many
peoples shall and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to
the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will
walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the
Lord from Jerusalem. And he will judge between the nations, and decide
concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and
their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore. (#Isa 2:2-4,
ARV).
Do You Know that the prophets of God all foretell that when this new
governement is established , it will be hailed throughout the earth with joy
and acclaimation?
Daniel and the "Time of the
End."
Do You Know that the Lord, more than two thousand years ago, gave
through the prophet Daniel a clear description of the day sin which we are
living?
Do You Know that the several prepositions in Daniel’s prophecy
concerning the "time of the end?"
PAGE 5
They are these: in the time of the end ( 1) many shall run to and fro; (2)
knowledge shall be increased: (3) the wise shall understand; (4) but none of
the wicked shall understand. (5) At that time Michael [Christ] shall stand up
[begin his reign]; (6) and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was
since there was a nation (cf., #Da
12:9,4,10,1).
Do You Know that the most rapid means of communication at the
beginning of the time of the end was the horse; while now radio, jet aircraft,
and cellular telephones unite cities, nations, and continents?
Do You Know that Sir Isaac Newton, the great Christian philosopher who
died in A.D. 1727 said, after studying this prophecy, "I wonder not if
some day men will travel at the rate of fifty miles an hour?"
Do You Know that Voltaire, the great agnostic philosopher who died in
1778, who knew much more about the power of steam than did his contemporary
Newton, despising Daniel’s great prophecy, declared that it had made a fool of
Sir Issac Newton when it led him to make the above statement?
Do You Know that less than four centuries ago illiteracy was so
general that the English parliament passed a law providing for those of its
members who were unable to read; while now ability to read and write is
general, even among the poor?
Do You Know that free schools were started as
PAGE 6
Sunday schools in 1784, and that since
that time knowledge began to increase greatly? And so greatly has it increased that we are now
living in what has been called the Information Age?
Do You Know that not a single one of the many large Bible societies
were started until the 1800’s, because only then were there much use for
reading material by the masses?
Do You Know that the flood of modern inventions, arising from the
increase of knowledge, is another prophetic sign of the time of the end?
Do You Knowthat the steam engine, automobile, airplane and othre
modern inventions are hinted at in Bible prophecies?
The Totalitarian Kingdom of Christ
Do You Know that the blessings of the Millennial Age were foretold by "All
the holy Prophets?"
Do You Know that the millennial age was specially
preached by the Apostles as the day of Christ, the kingdom of God, etc.? And
that it was the earnest faith of the early church (#Php 1:6; #Mr 1:14)?
Do You Know about the Apostle Peter’s reference to
it, in Acts (#Ac
3:19,21), where he
calls it the times of restitution of all things which God foretold by all of
his holy prophets?
Do You Know that St. Peter declares that these times
of blessing will not precede but will follow the second advent of our Lord Jesus?
Do You Know that the prophecies and signs which
PAGE 7
herald the Second Advent of Christ are
more distinct than were the signs which marked his First Advent?
Do You Know that the driving of the Jews out of all nations and their
resettlement in Israel is another sign of the close of the Gospel Age and the
dawn of the Millennium (#Jer
16:15; #Ro 11:25-32)?
Do You Know that the second coming of Christ will be as different from
human expectation as was the first advent? And that his day will come upon the
world unawares; and that only the "wise" will know it (#Lu 21:34,35; #Da
12:9,10)?
Do You Know that the object of the second coming of Christ, as well as
its manner, is generally understood?—His coming, according to the scriptures
means the blessing of all families of earth (#Ge 22:18;
#Ga 3:16)?
Do You Know that the Day of Judgment will be a thousand years long,
and not a twenty-four hour day—and that the word judgment
implies both a trial and a sentence (II. Pet. 3:7,8)?
Do You Know that the majority of mankind has never had a trial because
they died in total ignorance of the only name given whereby they can be saved (#Ac 4:12)?
Do You Knowthat the Apostle Paul declares that there is one mediator
between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all
men, to be testified to all men in due time (I. Tim. 2:6)?
Do You Know that to many of us the "due time" to
PAGE 8
learn of this grace of God is in this
present life, but that for the majority of men this "due time" will
be in a future life; because less than one-third of the human family has ever
heard the only name "under heaven given among men,
whereby we may be saved" (# Ac 4:12)?
Do You Knowthat the purpose of the Millennial Age is to cause the
knowledge of the Lord to fill up the earth as the waters cover the sea, and to
unstop the ears of men so that they may understand the message of mercy and to
open the eyes of human understanding to see the "true light which
lighteth every man that cometh into the world" (#Isa 11:9; 35:5;
#Joh 1:9)?
Do You Know that many living in civilized lands have never had a full knowledge of the Gospel with a full
opportunity to show whether they would choose righteousness or sin; because
they have had comparatively little knowledge of righteousness by either
experience or observation, and have had much experience with sin both inside
and outside of their own bodies?
Do You Know that our Lord Jesus paid the great price of redemption for all; to secure for all full opportunity to gain everlasting life by faith and
obedience (I Tim. 2:6; #Ac
3:22,23)?
Do You Know that Christ is the judicial satisfaction for our sins, and
not ours alone, but the sins of the entire world (I. #Joh 2:2)?

Secrets of Eternal Life
Do You Know that before long the secret of life will be given to
mankind and that it will abolish sickness, pain, and death?
Do You Know that there will be two phases of the divine kingdom—a
heavenly and an earthly (#Ge
22:17; #Hag 2:6,7; #Isa
35:1-10; Ps. 145:16)?
Do You Know that none but the church of Christ goes to heaven (#Heb 11:39,40; #Joh 3:13; 14:2,3)?
Do You Know that there will be a resurrection of the dead, and that
life’s grand fullness lies in the future (#Ac 24:15)?

prosperity, happiness, and peace?
Do You Know that the world of tomorrow will surpass in excellence all
that the poets and sages have ever dreamed?
Do You Know that the world’s present experience with evil will prove a
safeguard to God’s creatures throughout eternity?
Is This Propaganda?
Do You Know that a famine prevails in the world? This is not a famine
for bread, or for water, thought such do exist, but for understanding the Word
of the Lord (#Am 8:11)?
Do You Know God promised that in "the time of the end,"
in which we are living, the "wise" (toward God—not the worldly wise)
should understand the previously secret things of his plan and his word?
PAGE 10
Do You Know that the Divine Plan is complete and comprehensive. It is
in perfect harmony with the character which the scriptures ascribe to its great
author whose attributes are wisdom, justice, love, and power. and it presents
its own evidence of superhuman design, being inheretnly superior to all human
hopes, dreams, ideals, or inventions?
Yes, It Is god’s Propaganda!
