Chapter 1:
THIS YEAR’S MILESTONES
This 42nd edition of Milestones is written at a decisive time for Britain, as “negotiations” have resulted in an alarming deal, which looks set to tie Britain to the EU with no way out, unless agreed by the EU! We know from God’s Word that Britain has a latter-day role to play outside the EU. For Bible watchers the progress since the referendum in 2016 as to whether Britain should leave the EU or remain has been tortuous. It has been a great test of faith. At the year end preparations are at last being made for a “hard” Brexit which would break Britain away from the EU at the end of March 2019.
Milestones 2017 was based upon a series of six talks on Latter-day Bible prophecies and enabled the laying of a fairly wide-ranging basis for our historic understanding of the events leading to the setting up of God’s Kingdom. There will therefore be many references back to that issue for deeper scriptural analysis.
The angels are busy behind the scenes working under Christ’s direction to lead the nations to their pre-appointed positions on the world’s stage. We can but marvel at the Greatness of our God, who has all things under His ultimate control. Things will work out exactly as the prophets have indicated. May Milestones be a faith-boosting help.
