I wrote in that letter, "...it looks right now as if I will not be
able to go to Jerusalem at this time." As I wrote you in the
general SEMI-ANNUAL Letter to ALL PLAIN TRUTH subscribers, June 21,
I was not able to go. The Israelis took over the old city of
JERUSALEM, including JERUSALEM RADIO, belonging to the government
of Jordan.
Here's the latest news on that; The government official in
charge of the Jordan Government's radio station flew over here to
London (I am still in London) a few days ago to see me. They
expect to get JERUSALEM RADIO back. If and when they do The WORLD
TOMORROW will start FROM JERUSALEM as planned -- every night, seven
nights a week, at 8:05 p.m.
Meanwhile, King Hussein's government has offered us the
facilities of their Radio Amman. Since the war, they have reduced
the power of this station very low. But they offered to increase
it back to the full one hundred thousand-watts, on their superpower
short wave station, for The WORLD TOMORROW. So while we await
whatever is to happen to JERUSALEM RADIO, The WORLD TOMORROW is to
go out at the same time contracted for JERUSALEM RADIO, every
night, starting July 1st. This can be heard here in London -- so
it can be heard all over Europe and all over the Middle East.
ALSO, The WORLD TOMORROW is to go out at the same time on
their twenty-thousand-watt medium-wave station, which will cover
all Jordan, ISRAEL, and Lebanon and probably Syria.
ADDITIONAL exciting NEWS! While in Jerusalem two months ago,
we had leased a new Jerusalem office, and, in combination,
residence for the family of the man we planned to move there as
Office Manager. New office equipment and furniture, beside
household furniture and furnishings, had been selected, ordered,
and delivery expected the week before the war. But, once the war
broke out we had no way of hearing what had happened to this brand
new building -- and whether our equipment and furnishings had been
delivered. Had it all been bombed? -- shot full of holes in house-
to-house fighting -- looted, robbed, ransacked?
We had no way of knowing. We were quite concerned -- but we
simply trusted God with it. About two nights ago I had a long-
distance telephone call from two of our PLAIN TRUTH Contributing
Editors, from Istanbul, Turkey. They had flown into Tel Aviv,
Israel. With their press passes, and with the private help of a
Jewish army officer, they had toured all of the occupied territory.
AND THEY HAD VISITED OUR PROPERTY IN JERUSALEM!
What had happened? We had leased it from its Arab owner, a
local contractor who built it himself and who lives next door.
When the Jews began fighting their way into the Old City of
Jerusalem -- as I wrote you beforehand they would -- he went
immediately to the U.S. Embassy, informed them that our property
was property of United States citizens, demanded that the United
States Government protect it. Now what could have caused this man
to think of that? I think GOD did! The U.S. Embassy immediately
contacted the Israeli commanding officer, who sent soldiers at once
to SEAL OFF our property, mark it "OFF LIMITS" for Israeli
