today's ministry?
Is it mere coincidence that, as His original 12 apostles were
officially ordained by receiving His Holy Spirit, and started on
their actual ministry, in June, 31 A.D., God's Church ordained me,
and I was started on my actual ministry in June, 1931--precisely
100 time-cycles later?
Is it mere coincidence that, as the preaching of Christ's
Gospel to the world of that day continued for one time-cycle or 19
years in the very land where it started--Palestine and Asia Minor
--and exactly 19 years later Christ opened the door for Paul to
take the Gospel to EUROPE, and from there to the world of that day
for one more 19-year time-cycle; SO God first opened the door of
radio and the printing press for mass-evangelism in January 1934;
and then, after precisely 19 years, in January, 1953, Christ opened
the door of Radio Luxembourg, Europe's most powerful radio station,
so His Gospel began going to Europe, and from there expanding to
EVERY CONTINENT ON EARTH? Is that mere coincidence?
If God is moving in a definite, methodical, method of time-
cycles--as He has, up to now--then we have approximately 9 1/2
years more to finish proclaiming His Gospel in all the world to all
nations--and then shall come the END of this present world, and the
dawn of the happy and peaceful WORLD TOMORROW!
This Great End-Time Commission of CHRIST was started, it is
true, through me alone. Yet it was to be preached and published in
all the world--as a witness to ALL NATIONS! One man alone could
not accomplish all that!
The living CHRIST, working through human instruments, did it
this way: In July, 1933, I began preaching in a little country
one-room school house. It was located 8 miles west of the town of
Eugene, Oregon. Farm houses were few and far between. I had no
money to have advertising or hand-bills printed. I was not charged
for the use of the school room. I walked over that countryside,
personally inviting neighbours to come.
This school-room seated only 36 people. Most nights a few had
to stand through the entire service. Attendance averaged 40. Now
HOW MUCH could I do, alone? By my own efforts, Christ through me
was able to preach the Gospel to an average of 40 people.
Then Christ opened the door of radio and the printing press--
MASS media for reaching people. All He opened, to start, was one
small radio station on the smallest power of licensed radio
stations in America--only 100 watts of power. The manager offered
me the time at a very little price--bare cost of operation--18
shillings per programme. But I had no money. Then a handful of
Co-Workers volunteered to JOIN ME, as Co-Workers with Christ, and,
between them, pledged half of the amount--9 shillings per week. On
sheer faith that our Saviour would somehow move on the hearts of a
few more to join with us and supply the other half of the cost, I
went on the air, beginning the first Sunday in 1934.
I was really surprised to discover God had endowed me with a
