and it IS being done--BY THE MIRACLE OF SUPER-POWER JERUSALEM.
When The WORLD TOMORROW program is heard on that new station, the
announcers will say, "THIS IS JERUSALEM, JORDAN." Yes, JERUSALEM
will lift up ITS mighty radio voice--empowering my voice and that
of Garner Ted Armstrong with Christ's Message!
Notice again, part of verse 10: It is speaking of a time
when ". . . the Lord GOD will come with a strong hand, and His arm
shall RULE for Him: behold His reward is with Him, and HIS WORK
before Him." (AV). That could not be the Message of John the
Baptist. Jesus did not then come to RULE. This message goes
just before Christ's SECOND COMING--at a time when it says He "will
come," not after He has already come! It is at His SECOND coming
that "His reward is with Him" (Rev. 22:12).
So THIS IS A PROPHECY FOR NOW--just before Christ's
Coming--just before the plagues of "THE DAY OF THE LORD." It is
the Message PREPARING THE WAY for His coming--just as John the
Baptist did for His FIRST coming!
DO YOU SEE WHAT THIS MEANS?
It means that Christ's COMING is now very near! This is
undoubtedly the most significant event in the history of this Work!
Co-Workers, I have to tell you, this powerful station IN
JERUSALEM is costing a great deal of money! We are having to pay
a higher rate for this precious time than we have ever paid on any
station, by far. So, to take advantage of this TREMENDOUS
OPPORTUNITY God has opened to us--AND TO US ALONE--we are going to
have to tighten our belts, so to speak, and do without some of the
things we had planned or wanted.
Because ancient Israel defiled God's Holy Land, rejected
GOD'S Laws and government over them, they were driven out as slaves
by Assyria, 721-718 B.C. But Judah was left. Soon Judah was
sinning worse than Israel had done. They were driven out to
Babylon. Seventy years later part of the Jews went back to
rebuild the Temple. In due time, their leaders became the
legalistic hypocritical Pharisees, Sadducees, and others of the
time of Jesus. They rejected HIM--demanded His crucifixion.
In the spring of 69 A.D. they were driven out--and GOD'S
CHURCH with them! In obedience to Jesus' warning of Matthew
24:15-20, His disciples all fled Jerusalem at that time.
He turned His back on Jerusalem after that. It has been
trodden down by the Gentiles ever since. BUT NOW, the time is
almost here when JESUS IS COMING AGAIN, to take over Jerusalem,
RESTORE IT, and make it THE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!
NEVER, until now, has He allowed JESUS' OWN MESSAGE to be
proclaimed FROM THERE--and especially to the Jews of neighboring
"Israel" from there! But God foretold it through Isaiah.
And when this time came, TO WHOM did God open up these
precious radio facilities? NOT to Roman Catholics--though they
