ARMAGEDDON Messiah Returns As all Nations Gather To Destroy Israel This report was found on a tape recorder next to the body of our correspondent in Jerusalem. God rest his soul. This is John Parsons, Last Trumpet reporter. I am in Jerusalem near the Wailing Wall, looking east toward the Mount of Olives and thinking over the events of the past seven years. The President of the Federation has brought about stability in the world but after his seemingly miraculous recovery from a mortal head wound, he has acted in a purely satanic manner. He broke his defense treaty with Israel and has wrought terror throughout the land ever since. The Jewish situation has not looked this bleak since the holocaust. Many were put to death for refusing the “666” mark and public executions were common but the Jewish people refused to say die. The Israeli underground has responded courageously and has dealt serious blows to the Federation. The underground is believed to be directly responsible for the assassination of several Federation henchmen and the liberation of two prison camps near the Egyptian border. But now it seems the whole world has forsaken Israel. As I stand at the Wall, I watch the world go to war, probably for the last time. The Chinese have amassed a huge army. Satellite pictures estimate the Communist horde at nearly 200,000,000 men. They have marched over the Trans-Himalayan Highway, across the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers and are gathered on the plain of Armageddon. In the distance, I see the armies of the west under the Federation banner, mobilizing to do battle with the Chinese. It seems inconceivable that in this age of nuclear warfare such a tremendous land battle could occur. The roar of the jets, the rumble of the tanks Page 6 • The Last Trumpet and the thundering of the cannons is earshattering. The armies are on the move and the carnage is unbelievable. Helicopter gunships are everywhere, landing troops and reserves. The tiny Israeli army defending Jerusalem is a pitiful sight compared to the nearly three hundred million men battling at their doorstep. Wait! It seems as though the armies are unleashing their fury against Jerusalem. My God! This is going to be wholesale slaughter. No one can stand against all that military might. Lines of tanks have broken through the Israeli defenses and are rolling up the narrow streets. Not only is the holy city being devastated and bombed from both sides but it is being plundered and looted by savage mobs of crazed soldiers. Fires have broken out all over the city and women are being raped and murdered in broad daylight. Jerusalem is being ravaged and the streets are filled with mangled corpses. Through the dense smoke, I see old men and women carrying horrified children, screaming insanely and grieving at the destruction of their city. Hundreds of thousands are fleeing to the desert to avoid the massacre. It seems as though all hope is lost. But wait! What’s that sound! It’s louder than the clamor of battle, like a thousand volcanoes erupting in the distance! It’s growing louder and louder, but I can’t tell what it is or where it’s coming from. This can’t be! The sun is growing dark. A brilliant figure on a white horse is bursting through the clouds and storming to earth. My God, it’s Jesus Christ! I can see the nail prints in his hands and on his robe is written “King of Kings and Lord of Lords.” Behind him is a great multitude of angels and saints, also on horses, charging through the air toward the battlefield. The armies of the world have turned their weapons against them but to no avail. Their tools of destruction have become useless against Christ and his heavenly army. There is a deafening roar as Jesus descends to earth and sets his feet upon the Mount of Olives. The ground is shaking and the whole mountain is splitting down the middle from east to west as the surviving Israelis hurry toward the chasm. They are rushing into the valley, crying and wailing and proclaiming Jesus Christ as their Messiah. There is a deadly silence as Jesus raises his hands and a blinding light engulfs everything on the plain of Armageddon. This can’t be ... The soldiers are falling to the ground but before they do their flesh seems to be rotting off their bones. Millions and millions of soldiers are falling before the fiery sword of Jesus Christ. He has come again, saved his chosen people and the world is at his mercy. God help us. If I survive and someone finds this tape, they will think I am mad and this is all science fiction. Editor’s note: We found this tape near his dead body. We’ve had many reports but this seems to be most accurate.
