Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
Tomorrow Mrs. Armstrong and I are to sail back to the United
States, and I find the situation in our business office such that
I must get off a letter to you before leaving England.
In this great work of GOD--the most important activity on
earth today--we simply must keep pace with the rapid acceleration
of world events which are fast bringing us to the END of this
world! Our great mission is far, far from finished! There is yet
SO MUCH for us to do--and so little time to do it in.
Our Head and Leader--the living Jesus Christ--has been
increasing the power and scope of this work at the rate of 30% each
year over the year before. This has continued, now, for 27 1/2
years. That is a phenomenal record. But this new Giant World
Power rising up in Europe--now beginning with the Common Market--is
beginning to make such gains that it is actually rivalling the
increase in God's work. The Common Market countries increased, in
trade volume, 28% in 1960 over 1959!
This Common Market is making almost incredible economic gains.
The prophesied "Beast" of Revelation 17 is rearing up its head out
of the symbolic "bottomless pit" much more rapidly than most people
realize. Mr. Khrushchev sees it coming. He realizes he must get
the Western Powers out of Berlin quickly, before it develops much
farther, or Russia's program for conquering and ruling the whole
world will be wrecked. So we have the red-hot BERLIN CRISIS!
Mr. Macmillan, the British Prime Minister, sees this Common
Market steering rapidly toward a political-MILITARY United Europe.
He sees Greece being taken into this rising European Power. He
sees other European nations scrambling to get in. And he foresees,
emerging from this, a Giant new WORLD POWER of United Nations of
Europe with more population, greater resources, and soon greater
military power than either Russia or the United States--with
Britain isolated on these islands! He knows that would spell DOOM
for Britain. Britain would be squeezed into ruin economically.
Britain would be a "sitting duck" for military invasion and total
defeat. THAT IS WHY HE AND PARLIAMENT HAVE JUST MADE THE MOMENTOUS
DECISION TO TRY TO GET INTO THE COMMON MARKET. They believe they
may exert enough influence on the inside to either defeat or slow
down this development into a political-military power.
