family dinner, and almost everyone overate, and still much food was
uneaten, and carried out to go to waste: "If only we could give
part of that wasted food to the hungry and starving people of India
or China!" The FACT is, if all the overfed Americans gave HALF of
their food to those pitifully hungry people, their condition would
not be improved. Their condition is the result of DEGENERATION.
No matter what we try to do for them, in our human strength and
wisdom, they are going to remain illiterate, diseased, filthy,
indolent, poverty-stricken, degenerate. WE can't change their
status, NOW. But it will be changed--and SOON:
The Almighty GOD--and He ONLY--has the solution. He has sent
me and those associates who with me are Co-Workers with the living
Jesus Christ to proclaim to the whole world the GOOD NEWS that the
TIME is just ahead--now, just a VERY FEW years: That GOOD NEWS is
the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the GOOD NEWS of divine
INTERVENTION, of restoring the GOVERNMENT OF GOD--of the coming
again to earth of Jesus Christ, this time in all the SUPREME POWER
and the GLORY of the living GOD: He is coming to RULE! He is
coming to RESTORE what has been taken away--PEACE, HEALTH,
HAPPINESS, UNIVERSAL PROSPERITY:
But NOW?
A famous evangelist was asked if there was any solution to
this world's mounting tragic ills. He answered, "Yes! JESUS
CHRIST!" But if one interprets that to mean by your "receiving
Christ" by merely professing Him as Saviour--well, that is NOT the
way the world's wars, crime, diseases, poverty and unhappiness are
going to be abolished. It will take more than just your professing
Christ, although that might contribute more than you realize.
But the Gospel OF Jesus Christ is not merely man's preaching
ABOUT Christ--about the babe in a manger--about a dead Christ
hanging on a cross. The Gospel OF Christ is the dynamic Message
Christ BROUGHT and TAUGHT His chosen disciples. It is the GOOD
NEWS of the KINGDOM OF GOD! And the KINGDOM of God is the
GOVERNMENT--the RULE by divine force and power over all the nations
of the earth.
And when I saw all that indescribable human wreckage,
degeneration, filth and wretchedness--and thought of the present
efforts of human governments that are making no noticeable change
--I was simultaneously OVERJOYED at the realization that the living
Jesus Christ IS very soon going to return in ALMIGHTY POWER and
DYNAMICALLY CHANGE this world!
HOW? By a WORLD GOVERNMENT that will rule all nations!
World-famous scientists are speaking out, saying that nothing but
a super WORLD GOVERNMENT can now save the world. But they see no
way to bring about such a government. With men, it is impossible.
But by GOD, it soon shall be done!
And HOW? By universal compulsory RIGHT EDUCATION--by
banishing illiteracy, and by dissemination of KNOWLEDGE beginning
with the FOUNDATION of right knowledge--understanding the PURPOSE
of life--the true MEANING of life--knowing the TRUE VALUES as
