Thus, God in His great wisdom, has decided to renew this globe and to introduce a wonderful project, which when completed, will wipe totally the memory of Satan and his armies of demons, including men that have wilfully served him! God will wipe out every square foot of His creation that the devil has polluted, through his revolt against Him. The apostle Peter prophesied concerning it about two thousand years ago, saying to the Christians he pastored: ‘Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by holy prophets (read Isiah 65:17 – 66:22) and the commands given by our Lord and Saviour through your apostles.
First of all, you must understand that in the lasts days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say “Where is this ‘coming’ He promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation. “But they deliberately forget, that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: with the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this be on your guard, so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. But grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus-Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen! (2 Peter 3:1-17) This one passage of Holy Scriptures should suffice to bring sense to the heart of godless men!
As I read a prophesy like this one, I am lost in wonder, because Peter was not a university don, he was a fisherman used to hard work; I do not mean that he was not intelligent for he was, he was on the shore of the sea of Galilee when Jesus Christ called him to follow Him, and as he followed Him, he was completely changed and learned things that only choice men can learn, comprehend and appreciate; but he still remained Peter, a fisherman, human and imperfect. But all that he learned from Jesus Christ, as he walked with Him for three years, was melted into Him and made Him a man filled with the Holy Spirit. He saw Jesus doing mighty miracles, he heard Him speak to the people and to the religious rulers of His people, revealing to them amazing things, over which people wondered and were amazed, whereas the religious bunch hated Him. On two occasions He was involved in the feeding of thousands of people. On the first occasion with only five loaves and two fish, Jesus fed five thousand men, besides woman and children. On a second occasion Jesus fed four thousand men besides woman and children, with seven loaves and few small fish. I could go on, and on, and this is only the story of one man, Jesus had twelve disciples, and many other followed Him and believed in Him, but to end Peter’s greatest moment was when Jesus asked His disciples who the people said he was, they said: ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets, But what about you? He asked: Who do you say I am? Simon Peter answered: ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’ (Matthew 16: 14-16) But to write what he wrote, as quoted above, was inspired by the Holy Spirit, for he prophesied so perfectly concerning things God alone knows, with these warnings God still reaches out to mankind, for He cannot hide what the end of the world will be like! How can men be so hard, that words like these do not penetrate their darkened mind! These words I wrote from the epistle of Peter are awesome, they make me feel so small, and grateful at the same time, for by the grace of God I am, with all those that belong to Jesus Christ, destined to that new world, and to share in the glory of Jesus Christ the Son of God, my Saviour. Our faith is constantly tried and we go through the highs and lows of the Christian life, but we must thank the Lord, because everything is fine, in the end, it is not up to us, for He did it all, and in Him is our security!

My name is Edouard Jankowski and In September 1953 I landed on British soil. I was then nineteen years of age, and my destination was the I.B.T.I. (International Bible Training Institute) situated in Burgess-Hill, West Sussex. I did not realise when I arrived at the College, how my life was about to change for the better.
