the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life . . . " (Daniel
12:1-2).
It is THE TIME OF THE END.
For 18 1/2 centuries this "GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD" was
NOT proclaimed to the whole world. THIS VERY WORK, IN WHICH YOU
HAVE A PART, is the Work God has raised up to proclaim that Gospel
WORLDWIDE. This is the SIGN of Christ's coming. We are right now
in the time of the BEGINNING of world trouble -- APPROACHING close
to that GREAT TRIBULATION (Matt. 24:8).
Other prophecies show that the very NEXT prophesied event
will be the UNITING OF TEN NATIONS IN EUROPE -- the resurrection of
the Middle Ages' "Holy Roman Empire."
THAT COULD HAPPEN SUDDENLY, and GO TOGETHER QUICKLY. As I
wrote you a month ago:
"For I tell you this: Events are already happening in
Europe and within the Catholic Church, in the Middle East and in
Russia, that could IMPEL the Vatican, in self-preservation to offer
its good offices as a Supreme and politically neutral Authority, in
bringing about what the nations of Europe have so avidly DESIRED --
yet been unable, of themselves, to bring about -- POLITICAL UNION
of those nations.
"This could be done either, a) by a sudden action by Pope
Paul, or, b) by his abdication, and election of another prepared
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."
