We then chatted with the President for some seven or eight
minutes, then backed away and walked out of the room, followed
immediately by the cabinet members, the President and his wife. We
were then ushered into an outdoor garden setting, filled with
tables at which were seated 250 guests -- the highest officials of
the government besides many faculty members of the University. I
deduced from the facts that we entered the room to be presented to
the President immediately after they were seated, and that everyone
came out of the room immediately following our exit, that it was
all a bit of protocol to receive me in a more official manner, in
front of the entire cabinet of the government.
Mr. Gotoh will carry the official invitation to Prince
Mikasa in person, as he will be in Japan again in a few days.
This is the first time I have been presented to a head of
state in such formal and ceremonial manner. Before leaving Cairo
at the airport, an official government photograph was given us,
taken just after Mr. Rader and I had been presented to him, and
while he was shaking hands with Mr. Gotoh. This will appear in The
PLAIN TRUTH.
We had luncheon on Sunday at their beach-side home with Dr.
and Mrs. Hattem, leaving afterwards for the private air force
airport, where we had been given special permission to land our
plane. Dr. Hattem went along with us to Cairo in our plane, and
delivered us in his car to our hotel. Dr. Hattem has offered to
fly with us to other capitals in the Arab world, arranging personal
meetings with the heads of state in each.
Also, of tremendous significance, he has offered to sponsor
a large Testimonial Dinner, to be attended by most of the top
authorities in the government and their wives -- and, later, a
mammoth Personal Appearance Campaign.
Cairo is the BIG capital of the Arab world -- and the proper
place to have the FIRST Testimonial Dinner, and Public Appearance
Campaign. Others will follow quickly throughout the Arab world.
Plans are already underway in Amman, Jordan, and in Beirut,
Lebanon.
It is WONDERFUL how our God is opening doors, faster and
faster, all over the world!
As I said before, the job IS GETTING DONE!
Christ's new Message for this hour -- His TRUE Gospel --
is going to ALL THE WORLD, into all nations, where it HAS NOT GONE,
and could go in NO OTHER WAY, than this way God has opened up --
of giving me such providential FAVOR in the eyes of heads of state
-- of delivering the Message through the very TOP officials in
these nations. It is the MESSAGE OF WORLD PEACE -- for universal
PROSPERITY -- and of salvation and ETERNAL LIFE -- the Message of
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
NOBODY ELSE is carrying this Message to these nations!
NOBODY!!! Nobody ever has, before! Brethren and Co-Workers, THIS
