"Just think, brothers, there are only about 90 months left before 6000 years of man's existence on earth is completed... The majority of people living today will probably be alive when Armageddon breaks out." -- Kingdom Ministry, March, 1968, p. 4
"True, there have been those in times past who predicted an `end to the world,' even announcing a specific date. Some have gathered groups of people with them and fled to the hills or withdrawn into their houses waiting for the end. Yet, nothing happened. The `end' did not come. They were guilty of false prophesying. Why? What was missing? Missing was the full measure of evidence required in fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Missing from such people were God's truths and the evidence that he was guiding and using them. But what about today? Today we have the evidence required, all of it. And it is overwhelming."
