The documents of surrender officially ending World War II were signed by the Japanese and designated representatives of allied nations on September 2, 1945. General Douglas MacArthur, officiating the ceremony aboard the USS Missouri<\/i>, was the last to sign on behalf of the United States.<\/p>\n
MacArthur took his Parker fountain pen and simply signed his first name, \u201cDouglas.\u201d He then passed the pen to General Wainwright, who signed \u201cMac.\u201d MacArthur then handed the pen to General Percival, who signed \u201cArthur.\u201d<\/p>\n
This unusual procedure was MacArthur\u2019s way of honoring the two U.S. generals who had suffered severe persecution as prisoners of war. They had persevered, and now they were allowed to share in the glory of victory.<\/p>\n
Likewise, Paul describes those who persevere in the spiritual battles fought this side of heaven. In Romans 8:17 he calls them \u201cco-heirs.\u201d Those who share in the sufferings of Christ will also share in his glory.<\/p>\n
