How much of Czechoslovakia's income comes from producing war material?
Over 80 percent of Czechoslovakia's basic production income comes from producing war material, including tanks, guns, and rockets. This figure is given as a remembered estimate; the context adds that cutting off such sales would severely damage that nation's economy.
In his teaching on Zechariah 14, Les explains that the world is funneling arms, rockets, and warfare materiel into the Middle East, often without knowing why, though it is good economics. He reads that Czechoslovakia, a small Eastern European nation, receives over 80 percent—if he remembers right—of its basic production income from war material such as tanks, guns, and rockets. He asks what would happen to a nation's economy if all buying suddenly stopped, concluding it would wreck it. He says Czechoslovakia is not alone, suggesting America likewise depends on defense contracts. The only area with money to buy is the Middle East, with its oil money, creating a constant flow of war material. Yet Les adds there is more than economics: the sovereign God is still in control.
