Rex B Andrews, in his writing, Meditations in the Revelation, describes the trap that the world is caught in. Imagine how he would feel today, since those writings are from 1955. We have no escape except in into God.
“The most fearful of all times has come upon the world. We are in it. Trapped. And no way out except into God. The very word peace, in the world’s mouth is a lie. But so great are the advantages and wonders of science even now, that it is hard for the children of light to break away from it. We must look straight at the fact. The time has come when the fate of the world, humanly speaking, rests in the hands of a narrowing circle of men. They are imbued with the love of the wisdom of the world. And that love is a fusion into a One Mind. That love is a fusion into a One Mind because it is a spirit. And that spirit and the love of the world is a false love, false God, fallen mind working destruction through the most towering exultations of the wonderful works and the wisdom of man ever conceived. The world has passed the point of possibility of return. It has come to the time when the power to produce the fear of death is within the reach of a group or a man, by which to shackle the mind of mankind and rule the world.”
