Dear Fellow Co-Workers:
I'm writing you from 38,000 feet, over a desolate portion of
Australia, en route from Sydney to Singapore. With two other
officials in this great Work, we are on a very important round-the-
world trip.
I have said for some time that the big world news from now on
will be centered on and around Jerusalem. We haven't been getting
full details of the present Middle East crisis in Australia. And
because I'm so far away it is necessary to write this letter about
a week before you will receive it.
However, the recent sky-jackings of commercial airplanes by
Arab guerrillas, blowing up giant planes, holding the passengers
hostage, and, as I write, civil war raging between King Hussein's
Jordanian forces and the guerrillas, with Syrian forces joining in
against-the Jordan government army, may be setting off a chain
reaction that could bring us quickly to the final great world
crisis.
I certainly cannot set dates for the much talked of "end of
the world" -- which means end of the present age, and beginning of
the peaceful World Tomorrow. But I have said there are some
indications of the possibility of the final world crisis beginning
early in January, 1972 -- just a year and three months from now.
Actually events of the last few days could be leading into a chain
reaction of events that would threaten immediate world war. Such
a war could -- except for supernatural intervention by the "unseen
Hand from someplace" probably would -- blast all human life off the
earth.
I must tell you, dear friends and Co-Workers, these are
SERIOUS times, and it IS far later than people think! I cannot
know what shall have happened between now and the time you will
read this letter - about a week from now. I will send it to our
Headquarters office in Pasadena, California, and it will be mailed
to you from there. Possibly my son, Garner Ted, may add a little
to bring events up-to-date before it is mailed from Pasadena.
But here is what COULD happen -- as we have been saying for
two or three months now. Syria and Iraq could invade Jordan.
