SUBJECT: Australia and New Zealand
QUESTION: Will Australia and New Zealand be affected in
the Great Tribulation?
ANSWER:
This is a good question. No one in the World (speaking
of nations) will escape from the Tribulation.
The Tribulation will include nuclear war and whole nations
destroyed and survivors taken captive. Australia and New
Zealand are sure to be involved.
In the booklet, "Europe
and America in Prophecy" it talks about Australia and
New Zealand:
"The British colonized, developed, expanded around the
globe, finally reaching the status of EMPIRE. Study any
pre-World War II map of the world. Maps and globes of
that period usually colored the British Commonwealth red;
her territories and protectorates pink.
One could look anywhere on earth, and find British
possessions; dominance and influence.
First, one would see the British Isles, lying like a
dominating lion offshore Europe; secure behind the famous
English channel, yet guarding the gateways to Europe; the
Kategat and Skagerrak; the ports of Holland and France. The
position of the British Isles has been absolutely decisive
in the course of history—has influenced dramatically the
outcome of many, many wars, including the first and second
World Wars!
Then, one thinks of the vast territory, natural resources
and physical wealth of Canada; the continent "down under,"
Australia; the island nation of New Zealand. There is South
Africa, with some of the richest deposits of minerals and
natural wealth on earth."
Note:
Because of their wealth and natural resources, these
countries would be targets for anyone in a World War. The
Japanese actually wanted control of these nations in World
War II, but did not get that far.
Later in the same booklet, it says...
"As we shall see, the prophesied GREAT TRIBULATION is to
come primarily on JACOB! It is the "time of Jacob's
trouble," meaning the time of great national trauma for
England, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and the United
States, as well as others of ten-tribed Israel. Remember,
EPHRAIM AND MANASSEH were the recipients of the NAME OF
ISRAEL! Dying Jacob (Israel)
had said, ‘Let MY NAME be named ON THEM!’"
