The Great Warning and Hope Behind the Trinity Test

Eighty years ago today marks the infamous Trinity test, the first nuclear test that paved the way for the nuclear age. Now many nations have nuclear arsenals, and the eerie words J. Robert Oppenheimer quoted ring ever more true: Man has become “the destroyer of worlds.”

Why was the test occurring on July 16 so significant, and how does the nuclear age connect to Bible prophecy?

Herbert W. Armstrong and Gerald Flurry have warned about the destruction of the world for decades, but they have also told of the great hope available to those who heed the warnings.
