Positive Proof that the End is Near
Grant
~1950
I have to say I am kind of loving our good friend Rev. Grant and his somewhat hysterical doom and gloom pamphlets. Not too long ago we featured his special title, Work with Less Energy. This particular title is all about end times. Some of our best indicators are some of the more evil man made problems such as: heart disease, the atomic bomb, radio and television. Our dear Rev. Grant has got you covered with lots of scripture and advice so you can be fully prepared for the end. Not buying it? Don’t be too sad. They say it’s a dry heat in hell.
See you on the other side,
Mary
Talkin’ ’bout my generation!
Those calendar pages look like punched cards.
How can Jesus not know when he’s coming?
Phrasing!!
Possibility: He’s waiting for a set of conditions that are dependent on mankind’s free will? IANAT, so I don’t know if that’s a valid answer or not…
Whenever I see something like this, I think of Harold Camping’s 2011 prediction for the Rapture. Sadly, some people quit their jobs and gave away all their money and worldly possessions in anticipation of it, and Camping himself supposedly had a nervous breakdown when his prophecy proved wrong.
I’m always amused to find books like this on thrift-store shelves. The 1980’s: Countdown to Armageddon (not so much!). Is Saddam Hussein the Antichrist? (Guess not!)
