Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
Since my last letter, world events have been happening
fast! Also events in the progress of this Work of God have been
happening fast!
As I said then, God Almighty, who rules the UNIVERSE,
right now is holding back the furious winds of world-devastating
nuclear WAR, --just long enough to get done this very world-
encompassing job He is doing through YOU and me.
But events, fulfilling PROPHECY, are crashing ahead fast!
Since my last letter, the Berlin crisis has passed a
climax. The crisis is not over--won't be for some time. But
Khrushchev has backed away from actual nuclear war, again postponed
his threatened separate peace treaty with East Germany.
Right now, it may appear on the surface that tension has
relaxed. The Kremlin method, in this cold war of nerves, is to
blow first hot, then cold, then hot again. These repeated apparent
lulls in his war of nerves are always temporary. New tensions will
soon mount.
Actually, the very last thing Khrushchev wants is the
explosion of real nuclear war with the United States. There are
reasons--and it is the very nature of the Russian BEAR. I have
said repeatedly that the Russians in nature are like their ancient
predecessors, the Medes and Persians--represented in the prophecy
of Daniel 7 as a "Bear". They lumber ponderously along, the
"Bear's" massive feet kicking on doors. If the door caves in or
swings ajar, the Bear lumbers on in--and never leaves unless driven
by a stronger power. But, if the door holds firm, the Bear waddles
away. And if a fierce, snarling lion attacks with a roar, the Bear
retreats on the dead run!
Up until now, the record of the cold war has been one of
retreat after retreat by the United States. The Bear has kept on
coming!
But, since my last letter, U.S forces held firm, with a
show of force, at the entrance gate in the wall between East and
West Berlin. October 23rd a U.S. armored patrol convoyed a U.S.
