God has taken from us THE PRIDE of our power!
Had a little nation like North Korea captured a United
States Navy ship when Theodore Roosevelt was President, he probably
would have issued orders at lightning speed to effect the recapture
of that vessel, and had it back even before the world heard the
news. Not even a BIG Power would have dared attack or seize a
United States Navy ship, then! And we didn't have but a fraction
of the power, then, that we have today! WE HAD PRIDE IN OUR POWER
THEN!!
I have said before, America has won her last war! God in
heaven determines the outcome of wars (see Psalm 33:13-19,
especially verses 16-19).
And now that God has broken our PRIDE in our power, what
next? Famine, and disease epidemics (Lev. 26:19-20), and then,
verse 21, we shall be punished not only by the natural consequences
of our own wrong ways -- but God Himself will inflict seven times
that intensity of punishment on us. See RSV translation: "I will
bring more plagues upon you, sevenfold as many as your sins." (See
pages 184-192 in the new enlarged edition of U.S. and British
Commonwealth in Prophecy, and also read chapter 10, beginning page
129, for complete explanation of the "seven times" of Leviticus
26.)
WHAT, then, DOES THIS EVENT, and others like it, REALLY
MEAN? It means, according to God's SURE Word of prophecy, that the
invasion of Britain and America by a STRONG World Power is very
soon to come -- possibly in four or five years or less -- though we
can't set dates. It means the prophesied GREAT TRIBULATION on our
peoples! It means the END of this age -- this civilization -- this
world, IS CLOSING IN ON US FAST!
It means WE HAVE BUT A SHORT TIME TO FINISH GOD'S WORK! It
means we are right now in the MOST CRUCIAL days of all earth's
history -- and the final CRISIS in this GREAT WORK OF GOD!
Great progress is being made toward getting full page and
double page messages in some of the mass-circulation magazines --
and even mass-circulation newspapers; and in preparing for the
expansion of the television program. My son Garner Ted is MUCH
MORE effective on television than radio -- and being viewed and
heard already on television in the San Francisco bay area, the Los
Angeles area, eastern Texas, and one or two other areas. I hope
that within the year many more of you will be able to see this
dynamic, VERY EFFECTIVE television edition of The WORLD TOMORROW.
I am working toward my new series, getting back on radio, and hope
you will hear the beginning of this series before another month.
More than 45 MILLION people, on all continents, are hearing
God's Message every week. The PLAIN TRUTH circulation is climbing
as never before, now reaching to 1,200,000 copies -- and probably
read by more than 3 million people. More precious lives are being
CONVERTED than ever before -- now numbering into thousands every
year -- actually baptized by God's own ordained ministers and their
assistants, trained at Ambassador College.
