Book Description
Excerpt from Russia's Destiny in the Light of Prophecy Another edition of Russia's Destiny being called for, it has been suggested that we should revise the pamphlet in view of more recent developments. Having carefully re-read it, however, we find nothing to alter. The first edition appeared in 1897, and was written to draw attention to the plain statements of the prophetic scriptures. A third edition came out just before the Russo Japanese War, and when Russia lay maimed and humbled at the feet of her Far Eastern antagonist, the writer was often asked, What now do you think of your pamphlet? But as originally our little work had aimed at giving Russia's destiny in the light of prophecy, we saw no reason to adjust in the light of merely passing events. To-day the greatest war known to history is raging in Europe, and before it, in the magnitude of its Operations, the war of 1905 sinks into insignificance. And what shall we say of its hecatombs of victims? Even at this stage, its 100th day, we are informed that two millions of Germans alone have been sacrificed. The wonderful achievements of Russia are filling the world with amazement; some even regard them with apprehension. A notable instance of this came before us in a letter to the daily press quite recently in which Mr. Robert Blatchford sought to calm a correspondent's fears by assuring him that Europe would presently form an alliance to hold Russia in check, and he even enumerated fen European kingdoms that would join together for this purpose! Had he the remotest idea that this is exactly what the Scriptures have foretold? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
