Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
.
The living Head of this Work -- who has drafted you and
me as His Co-Workers -- commanded us to WATCH and PRAY ALWAYS that
we may be accounted worthy to escape all the terrifying conditions
now quickly coming on this world.
He was talking about world conditions -- world happenings
-- world NEWS (Luke 21; Matthew 24; Mark 13). He was talking about
the very soon-coming Great Tribulation. He offered US a chance to
ESCAPE IT -- not have to go through it. To take advantage of this
ESCAPE-opportunity, He said we must "WATCH" as well as pray always.
He meant watch the world happenings He was foretelling -- events

THEM WARNING FROM ME. Most of our Co-Workers understand that our
English-speaking peoples ARE the House of Israel of the 20th
century. If you have not learned of our identity in Biblical
prophecies, write immediately for our free booklet, "The United
States and British Commonwealth in Prophecy." The twelve tribes of
Israel divided into TWO nations. One was the House of JUDAH -- the
Jewish people. The other was the House of Israel. They were NOT
Jews. Their capital was Samaria. The Jews' capital was Jerusalem.
The first place where the word "Jews" is used in the Bible is II
Kings 16:6, where it describes the Jews being AT WAR against
Israel, allied with Syria.
The House of ISRAEL was taken captive by Assyria more
than 100 years before the Jews' captivity. They were taken to
Assyria. When the Assyrians migrated northwest, these Israelites,
