A Chronicle For The Preservation Of The American Heritage VOL. 2 NO.12 JANUARY 11.1980 25 CENTS MANY SCHOLARS AGREE Middle East: Bible Prophecy Unfolding? By Harry Covert Is godless Russia fulfilling Bible prophecy? The opinion of most Christians and Bible scholars is that the advancing hordes from Soviet Russia that recently invaded Afghanistan are simply validating traditional teachings directly from the Old Testament. The Russians startled the world by their immediate and swift takeover of Kabul, the capitol of Afghanistan, the murder of the nations's president and the installation of a Russian-backed leader. More than 100,000 Soviet troops are billeted in the Middle Eastern nation. And, the world is apparently waiting for the second foot to drop from the Soviets into neighboring Pakistan, further evidence. Biblical scholars agree, of the unfolding of Bible prophecy in the beginning of the 1980s, the period of the 20th Century where Christian leaders across the world have acclaimed as the Decade of Destiny. While the world is shocked by the Russian intervention and the United States has threatened economic sanc­ tions in obviously vain efforts to dissuade the Russians, Christians the world over have become increasingly aware of the perilous times and the threats to world peace that are ap­ parent.
