The Atomic Bomb and the World's End

When the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, not only was World War 2 almost immediately at an end, but the whole of humanity was suddenly catapulted upon the door steps of a new era. The questions uppermost in the minds of everyone are: What is atomic energy -- and what does it mean to the future of the world? Scientists, of course, are seeking the answers in the realms of science, itself. The statesmen are frantically endeavoring to solve the problems of the future, by the poor machinery of human government, wrought out of the instability of human nature. The Bible student has, as always, turned to the Word of God -- the sure word of prophecy. In this volume we have endeavored to stay clear, as near as possible, from scientific language as it relates to atomic energy. Only occasionally have we found it necessary to use the technical expressions of the scientists, but in the main, the language is such that the man in the street may understand. We make no apology for the sensational character of the subject. The atomic bomb is sensational, itself. Besides all this, the resurrection from the dead, the second coming of Christ, the end of the world, the judgment day, are sensational beyond anything that man has ever seen. - Introduction.
