for this very mission!
IF and WHEN that happens, you will know that THIS GREAT WORK
IN WHICH WE ARE CO-WORKERS WITH CHRIST, SHALL HAVE COME VERY CLOSE
TO HAVING FINISHED THE WORK WE ARE TO DO AT THIS TIME -- though the
Work would be resumed later. This is just a WARNING. It could
happen this coming year -- or in two, three, five or MORE years.
Probably we may not be privileged to know the time, in advance.
BUT KNOW THIS! Just because some expected this Work to be
finished early this past year, DO NOT suppose that it is going to
go on indefinitely. We ARE in the very last days -- have been
since the HYDROGEN BOMB.
Dear Family under the living CHRIST in His Work, WE NEED TO
KNOW THE TIME -- THAT IT IS, INDEED SHORT! I hope we have another
five or ten years to finish this Work -- BUT WE MAY NOT HAVE. But
we need to realize that NOTHING ELSE is important. We must now
rally to PUT GOD'S WORK FIRST. We must dedicate ourselves to MORE
PRAYER. To MORE SACRIFICE FOR THE WORK! To set our hearts and
affections on CHRIST and HIS KINGDOM, and HIS WORK -- on the THINGS
ABOVE, not on this world and its interests and pleasures.
Please PRAY, and PRAY, and PRAY, for the financial needs of
God's Work these next few months of the year. If we pray more, God
will prosper each of us more financially. THANK YOU, dear
Brethren.
With great love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
