The complete secularization of science, education, industry, and society can lead only to disaster. During the first third of the twentieth century Urantians killed more human beings than were killed during the whole of the Christian dispensation up to that time. And this is only the beginning of the dire harvest of materialism and secularism; still more terrible destruction is yet to come.

The beginning of sorrows, when there will be great mourning; the beginning of famine, and many will perish; the beginning of wars, and the powers will stand in fear; the beginning of calamities, and all will tremble! What will they do when the calamities come? Behold, famine and plague, suffering and anguish! They are sent as scourges for correction. But for all these things they will not turn them from their wickedness, nor be always mindful of the scourges. Behold, food will be so cheap on earth that they will think themselves to be in good condition, and even then calamities will grow on earth: sword, famine, and great confusion. For many of those who dwell on earth will perish of famine; and others who escape the famine, the sword will destroy. The dead will be cast out like dung, and there will be no one to comfort them; for the earth will be left desolate, and its cities will be cast down. There will be no farmer left to cultivate the earth or to sow it. The trees will give fruit, but who will gather it? The grapes will ripen, but who will tread them? For in all places there will be a great solitude; for one man will desire to see another, or to hear his voice. For of a city there will be ten left, and two of the field, who have hidden themselves in the thick groves, and in the clefts of the rocks. As in an orchard of olives upon every tree there may be left three or four olives, or as when a vineyard is gathered, there are some clusters left by those who diligently search through the vineyard, even so in those days, there will be three or four left by those who search their houses with the sword. The earth will be left desolate, and its fields will be for briers, and its roads and all her paths will grow thorns, because no sheep will pass along them. The virgins will mourn, having no bridegrooms. The women will mourn, having no husbands. Their daughters will mourn, having no helpers. Their bridegrooms will be destroyed in the wars, and their husbands will perish of famine.
“Nevertheless, concerning the signs, behold, the days will come when those who dwell on earth will be taken with great amazement, and the way of truth will be hidden, and the land will be barren of faith. Iniquity will be increased above what now you see, and beyond what you have heard long ago. The land that you now see ruling will be a trackless waste, and men will see it desolate. But if the Most High grants you to live, you will see what is after the third period will be troubled. The sun will suddenly shine in the night, and the moon in the day. Blood will drop out of wood, and the stone will utter its voice. The peoples will be troubled, and the stars will fall. He will rule whom those who dwell on the earth don’t expect, and the birds will fly away together. The Sodomite sea will cast out fish, and make a noise in the night, which many have not known; but all will hear its voice. There will also be chaos in many places. Fires will break out often, and the wild animals will change their places, and women will bring forth monsters. Salt waters will be found in the sweet, and all friends will destroy one another. Then reason will hide itself, and understanding withdraw itself into its chamber. It will be sought by many, and won’t be found. Unrighteousness and lack of restraint will be multiplied on earth. One country will ask another, ‘Has righteousness, or a man that does righteousness, gone through you?’ And it will say, ‘No.’ It will come to pass at that time that men will hope, but won’t obtain. They will labor, but their ways won’t prosper. I am permitted to show you such signs. If you will pray again, and weep as now, and fast seven days, you will hear yet greater things than these.”
All things that are of the earth will go back to the earth; so the ungodly will go from a curse to perdition.
