Dear Co-Worker, ours is the most serious task in this
world today. God is holding back the winds of world-devastating
WAR in order to get this job done which He is doing through US. He
has opened before us the mighty DOOR of radio, television, and the
printing press. WE HAVE TO PAY MONEY--BIG MONEY! To meet these
increasing costs, as Christ keeps His Work in pace with
accelerating WORLD EVENTS, is a mighty tough problem! We all need
to tighten our belts, so to speak, and even sacrifice other things
so we can contribute more as our part to which Christ has called us
as His Co-Workers.
Now these terrifying nuclear bombs ARE GOING TO DROP ON
OUR CITIES--although not next week--although NOT until God's Work
is finished through us--but THEN they will FALL!
WHAT WILL YOU DO, THEN?
Listen, dear Co-Workers! THIS IS REAL, and we must FACE
IT! I, also, as a Co-Worker with Christ, and with YOU! And I HAVE
FACED IT!
Let me tell you what I will do! Jesus Christ has
PROMISED, (Revelation 3:10--which refers directly to us in this
work) that BECAUSE we have obeyed HIS WORD--have walked on through
the DOOR He opened--the DOOR through which God has made it possible
to PROCLAIM HIS GOSPEL to all the world--that He also will keep us
from the coming hour of TRIAL or the Great Tribulation. This is
the same time spoken of by Jesus in Matthew 24:21-22; by Daniel in
chapter 12:1-2; and by Jeremiah in chapter 30 verse 7. It is the
time spoken of by Ezekiel 5:12 and 6:6--when in all our dwelling
places, THE CITIES SHALL BE LAID WASTE!
Dear Co-Worker, let me tell you, I have faced this--I
know it is REAL--and it is sure to come! But, if we whom Christ is
using as HIS Co-Workers are faithful--if we deny NOT His precious
Word by clinging to the pagan traditions of MEN which form the WAY
of this world--if we walk through the gigantic door of mass-
evangelism He has opened for us to reach the whole world--if we put
HIS KINGDOM and this glorious Message of it FIRST in our lives--
sacrifice for it--and remain FAITHFUL to the end, Jesus Christ has
PROMISED to protect us from this terrifying destruction to come.
Read Luke 21:36--if we WATCH, to see events prophesied
coming to pass--if we PRAY always and earnestly--we shall be
accounted worthy to ESCAPE these terrifying events--yes, ALL these
catastrophic destructions.
HOW? I do not know, definitely, how. But in ReveLation
12:14 we are to be taken on the symbolic "wings of a great eagle"
to a place of safety--described as into the wilderness--or desert.
Does that mean we are to be taken by giant airplanes? Possibly--
yet Scripture says God delivered the children of Israel out of
Egypt "on eagles' wings."
I do not NEED to know more, now, about HOW, or WHERE. I
think it quite possible that I do know already--in general, the
time, and the place.
