It's high time we FACE THE FACTS! This trend of affairs
signals the fast-approaching END of this present civilization!
But as the EVILS accelerate in this world, so do the important
activities in this great Work of God accelerate! We MUST -- and
we ARE -- keeping pace!
Suddenly doors are being opened wide for me personally to
have meetings with heads of state of many important nations. I
have not sought nor taken the initiative in arranging these
important meetings. But they are significant, and another signal
of the fast-approaching END of the present civilization and the
ushering in of the WORLD TOMORROW - a world of peace,
happiness and universal well-being.
When I wrote you a month ago, I was in our jet aircraft,
returning from Sydney, Australia to Djakarta for my conference
with President Suharto, of Indonesia. An appointment had been
set, but he was unable to see me until the following day. On
that following day I had an appointment with President Marcos

where a number of candid camera shots were taken. Then to the
beautiful new Palace, completed since I was there two years ago.
Then at 4:00 p.m. I addressed a group of the very top
professors of several Japanese universities, arranged by Prince
Mikasa. The professors invited were those whose principal area of
interest is the Middle East. All were greatly interested in
archaeology. After I spoke, Dr. Mazar showed them many slides of
our archaeological project.
In my talk before them, translated as we proceeded by Osamu
Gotoh, head of our Japanese Department on the Pasadena campus, I
mentioned the following:
About 150 years ago, leaders of science decided the human mind
was so near perfect that society could safely discard its swaddling
clothes, throw away the "crutch" of religion, and reliance on God.
Science had come to the place it could deliver the world from all
