"THE END OF THE WORLD"
Intro: "The end of the world is near." We used to associate this warning with sandwich boards. Now it is being said by men with PhD's who have majored in Ecology. By men who are considered military experts, and by diplomats and analysts who study the world.

6. The gospel shall be preached, vs. 14.
7. "The abomination of desolation."

III. THE NEW AGE vs. 30.
A. Then shall appear the reign of the Son of Man.
