THE CLASH OF KINGDOMS, Chapter 13 of Kingdom of God Volume 3
Pages 162-168
And Jesus answered and said unto them [His disciples], . . . nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: … then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. (Matt. 24:4, 7, 9)
It seems that when the Kingdom of God is presented to the people of the earth, they would rejoice, sing and weep for joy. The coming of that Kingdom to mortals should bring peace, happiness and prosperity. It could answer all their problems and bring heavenly hosts to earth–even Jesus would visit them with blessings and eternal life. But this is not necessarily the case. On the contrary. As history has shown from generation to generation, it has been associated instead with destruction, war and even the murder of God’s most holy prophets.
