and remarriage are in defiance of and rendered null and void by the
higher laws of Almighty God! This marriage, therefore, by
authority of the Supreme Court of Heaven, is inexorably BINDING
until broken by death."
Then the vows each must take are as follows: "...Do you then,
(his first name) faithfully promise and covenant with God, in the
presence of these witnesses, to take (her full name) to be your
lawful wedded wife, and to cleave to her unto death; to love her,
cherish her, honour her, and provide for her?" After his answering
vow, "...And do you, (bride's first name) faithfully promise and
covenant with God, in the presence of these witnesses, to take (his
full name) to be your lawful wedded husband, for the remainder of
your natural life, and, as God has ordained to submit yourself unto

How did this great broadcasting and publishing work start? Do

Biblical prophecies foretell a martyrdom of God's own people
-- faithful believers in Christ's true Gospel! Is that prophesied
tragic condition STARTING ALREADY? If so, IT IS FAR LATER THAN WE
HAVE SUPPOSED! If so, we are near the END of this world's
deceptions, violence and chaos. If so, we are VERY NEAR the happy,
peaceful WORLD TOMORROW, when Jesus Christ shall return to earth in
all the supernatural POWER and GLORY of the Creator GOD -- to
restore WORLD PEACE, UNIVERSAL HAPPINESS, ABUNDANCE AND JOY!
Here are the tragic facts.
Dr. Benjamin L. Rea, B.Sc., Ph. D., Dean of the Faculty of
Ambassador College and the voice of the Spanish language broadcast
of The WORLD TOMORROW, heard over South and Central America, lies
dead! He had developed a hypertension condition. His blood
pressure was excessively high. Last autumn we had insisted he take
a few months leave of absence and free himself completely from the
stress and strain of his duties by taking complete rest in America.
His condition had improved and he returned to his office at the
College in January.
