The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It                527
Chapter 20
The Timing of Christ's Return
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not
troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation
shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be

return is near. He further instructed his disciples: “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his
branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when
ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This
generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (Matthew 24:32-34) Later we will
