'Voice of Revival' 1963 v05 n01 p05

Can you guess what I am going to say? Yes, this never happened!

As a matter of history, the Catholic Church was very actively anti-Communist, especially Pope John-Paul II in his support of the Solidarity movement in Poland.



Verdict: NOT EVEN CLOSE!

The West and NATO never lost West Berlin or West Germany. In fact, Communism began to lose its hold over East Germany when the Berlin Wall fell on the 9th of November, 1989. Communism was rejected completely when Germany was reunified as a Democratic, Capitalist nation on the 18th of March, 1990.


Verdict: FALSE PROPHECY!

Japan never turned Communist and is still to this day, very much Capitalist and America's strongest ally in Asia.


Verdict: HUGE FAIL!

The Revival Centres were forever claiming the bible predicted the Soviet invasion of the Anglo-Saxon nations (see here for more) but of course this never happened and with the demise of the Soviet Union never will. 

Longfield here also claimed that Lybia, Persia and Ethipoia would become allied with Soviet Russia. History shows this to be a false claim as Ethiopia was the only one of these nations that allied itself with the Soviets.

As for the Russians coming right to our (Australia's) shores well, they didn't even make it to the UK let alone to Australia (see here).

Finally, there were many fruitful and lasting pacts and agreements made between the Soviets and Western nations, so the claim that all were 'doomed to failure' is pure drivel.

Verdict: FAIL!

Was Noel Hollins drunk when he wrote this? How anyone could see Nazism, Fascism and Communism in that verse is beyond me. To say that the three 'isms' pushed out propaganda and this likens them to 'croaking frogs' is a big stretch. But then to claim that Hitler and Mussolini's warmongering was 'miraculous' is even more of a stretch.

But where Noel really fails is when he says,
'The Bible prophecies that the third, Communism, will produce the climax of the age, Armageddon'.
Like Noel, Communism has failed. It has lost its power and hold over all but one country (North Korea). The rest have abandoned it completely (former Soviet Bloc) or hold on to it in name only (China, Cuba and Vietnam). So sorry Noel, but Communism didn't, and will never, usher in Armageddon.

Verdict: FAIL!
