Dear Co-Worker with Christ:
We are receiving continual evidence, now, that IT IS LATER
THAN YOU THINK -- time is running out on us -- there isn't much
more time to FINISH this great WORK OF GOD!
You may have read in TIME, the weekly news magazine, of how
we were falsely sued in Akron, Ohio, for teaching CHRIST'S TRUE
GOSPEL! John the Baptist was beheaded for explaining the same
truth of God to King Herod. TIME magazine called the suit against
us "exceptionally ludicrous," indicating "it would seem likely" the
appeal to higher courts will result in a reversal in our favor.
Naturally, we will appeal -- if necessary clear up to the Supreme
Court -- and we have no fear of the outcome.
But persecution, now, is beginning to step up. There is a
Satan, and he is exceeding angry that GOD'S WORK has become so
powerful, worldwide. Satan would have taken my life years ago, had
it not been for the fact that so far God has not allowed it. Many
times my life has been threatened for proclaiming Christ's own
Gospel.
Now comes the latest threat. A self-acknowledged Nazi in
Germany has sued me in Duesseldorf, West Germany, for falsely
alleged slander against Germany in the booklet "1975 in Prophecy."
Mentioning that I wrote in this booklet that I did not know who the
coming "Fuhrer" of the resurrected Roman Empire will be, he wrote
me: "May I tell you from the bottom of my heart that I desire to be
this Fuhrer ... I would rather seize poison-rats like you and have
them hung upside down inside one of the tunnels of the Pasadena
Freeway. I would close both openings of the tunnels and put in
1,000 big, hungry rats to take care of your poisoned body and
spirit. ... Furthermore, I have demanded that you be refused entry
into Germany for life. ... You may rest assured that your name will
remain with us 'national Germans' (Nazis) for all times on the list
of 'most wanted men,' until you are hunted down -- however long
that may take." Previously he had said this would happen IF he was
not able, through the present West German government, because it is
under "pressure," "to have subhumans like you brought to the
gallows." So it was, indeed, a threat on my life. However, I
shall expect to return to Germany whenever necessary in the service
of the living CHRIST -- and under His divine protection.
