Gain eternal perspective: The
earth is approaching the end of its temporal existence.
It is difficult to understand the events of the last days unless those events
are viewed in the light of God’s eternal plant. The Lord has revealed that the
earth only is to exist under present mortal conditions for a very
short period, for he has referred to “the seven thousand years of its
continuance, or its temporal existence.” (Duane S. Crowther, Inspired
Prophetic Warnings [Bountiful, Utah: Horizon Publishers, 1987], 261)
