the GOVERNMENT. The Government therefore controls radio,
television, and so far as possible what is taught to the people.
In GOD'S sight, the KING is the kingdom, or nation. For
example, in Daniel's prophecy of the 7th chapter, "These great
beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of
the earth ..." (verse 17.) And in verse 23, "The fourth beast
shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth ..."
When I get Christ's vital Message of the Kingdom of God --
His Gospel -- to the king, president, prime minister -- and others
high in the government in such nations, I have, in God's sight,
gotten His Message to that nation or kingdom.
Yet in this NEW DIMENSION of this great Work, we are being
able to go much further -- by public meetings, I am able to get it
to THOUSANDS of others who are the LEADERS in these great nations.
On this last trip I talked candidly and frankly to Emperor
Haile Selassie about the KINGDOM OF GOD, and of Christ's coming to
intervene and GOVERN THE WHOLE WORLD BY SUPERNATURAL POWER!
It should THRILL US to realize how wonderfully God has
led the way -- opened these massive doors -- given me such FAVOR,
RESPECT, HIGH CREDIBILITY in the eyes of top leaders of so many
nations!
And NEVER FORGET -- the true GOSPEL of Jesus Christ was
no longer proclaimed to the world after the close of the FIRST
CENTURY! ANOTHER "gospel" was proclaimed thereafter (Galatians
1:6, II Corinthians 11:4, 13-15) - until God raised up THIS
WORK to which He has called YOU to be a Co-Worker! NO ONE ELSE IS
PROCLAIMING THIS TRUE GOSPEL to the world today -- or has done so
since the first century.
HOW THANKFUL we should be to have been called to have a
part in it -- proclaiming this glorious GOOD NEWS of coming world
PEACE, and eternal SALVATION to the WORLD!
NEVER was your generous part in it more needed!
THANK YOU for it. I NEED YOUR EARNEST AND URGENT PRAYERS.
With much LOVE, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
