March To Armageddon

Ronald E. Powaski offers the first complete, accessible history of the events, forces, and factors that have brought the world to the brink of a nuclear holocaust. He traces the evolution of the nuclear arms race from FDR's decision to develop an atomic bomb to Reagan's decision to continue its expansion in the 1980's. Focusing on the forces that have propelled the arms race and the reasons behind the repeated failures to check the proliferation of nuclear weapons, Powaski discusses such topics as the Manhattan Project, the decision to drop the bomb on Hiroshima, the debate over whether to share atomic information, the effect of nuclear weapons on U.S. military and foreign policy, and the role of these weapons in arms control negotiations in the last five presidential administrations.

This book provides an easy reading text on the contributions which four Jewish intellectuals and thinkers made to the making of the modern world in the post Western European Enlightenment period. Because of their contributions, the biblical prophecies of the end times are being fulfilled and God promises to protect those who turn to him and put their trust in him from the calamity which is coming to the world.

Thankfully, the Gospel of Christ gives hope and promises a good future to those who put their trust in God and follow Jesus Christ. There is hope for those who seek it.

They can put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ the Saviour, a trustworthy friend who will stay with them until the end of the age, no matter what the challenges ahead may be.

Since mankind's natural religious instinct is to worship pagan gods and offer blood sacrifice in temples dedicated to idols, one wonders why the Holy God commanded a large group of people to put their trust in Him solely and obey His moral law unreservedly. How can enforced monotheism and command to follow rigid external moral law remedy ignorance, ungodliness, apathy and vanity in the heart of sinful men? A biblical understanding of the history of the Jewish people helps to know the story of mankind in its entirety. It is wonder of all wonders that the fate of such a small nation has shaped the destiny of all nations
