EMPEROR or FUEHRER of the new resurrected Roman Empire. Adenauer
is going to step down from office later this year. But right now,
no one of the German leaders--Strauss, Erhard, Globke, Willie
Brandt,--has risen to dominant power, or knocked off the others.
DeGaulle knows he has to RUSH this POLITICAL MILITARY union of
Europe before some one dominant LEADER rises in Germany.
And besides, DeGaulle is well along in his seventies, and
getting older every day. If time drags, and the POLITICAL union of
Europe into the ROMAN EMPIRE is not brought about for five, seven
or ten years, DeGaulle will be too old.
Overnight there has been a total SHIFT in world
leadership. All of a sudden, DeGaulle shoots up as Villain number
one in the west, while Khrushchev and President Kennedy are
quieting down and becoming tame. France, traditionally during our
time, the ally of the United States and Britain, as opposed to
Germany, suddenly lines up with Germany. And now it appears that
neither Germany nor France are allies of the United States, but
becoming potential ENEMIES--just as I have been saying would happen
for the past 29 years!
A new crisis appears to be brewing in CUBA. The overthrow
of the government of Iraq, and assassination of its premier in
Baghdad, is stirring things toward the PROPHESIED climax in the
Arab world. I have been through the government buildings in
Baghdad--the very scene of this violent revolution.
But things also are happening, FAST, in the Great world-
wide Work of Almighty GOD. Let me brief you on just a few of the
very recent developments:
This past year we have had to open new offices in
Dusseldorf, Germany, and in Manila, the Philippines. Just the year
before we had opened new offices in Vancouver B.C. We are going to
have to open offices in about 60 days in Johannesburg, South Africa
and in June or July in either Paris or Geneva.
The mailing list of The PLAIN TRUTH in the Philippines
alone is now above SIX THOUSAND. It is growing rapidly every
month. We are on, not only the one super-power 50,000-watt radio
station in Manila every night at an early most-listened-to-time,
but also on four other stations on other of the islands of the
Philippines. We are now purchasing every month full page
advertising space in the Philippines' leading news magazine--it has
the large-size page--and putting in this space powerful Gospel
messages, which are bringing by the hundreds new subscribers to The
PLAIN TRUTH and requests for thousands of booklets. Many are being
converted in the Philippines through our work there.
Recently two of our men took a trip around the world. One
result--twenty-nine repentant believers, brought to Christ through
this great Work, were baptized by one of our ministers in the
Commonwealth of South Africa.
A new edition of The PLAIN TRUTH, in the FRENCH language,
is almost ready to start publication--will before summer. And
