and THEN shall the end [of this world] come."
I have showed you how, in 58 A.D., the Galatians were
accepting ''ANOTHER gospel" -- perverting the true gospel of CHRIST
(Gal. 1:6-7).
II Corinthians 11:14 and 13-15 shows these false preachers
were proclaiming, at Corinth, a different Jesus, a different
spirit, a different gospel -- and that they were ministers of
SATAN, posing as ministers of Christ. Their organized opposition
and persecution stopped the proclaiming of the gospel of the
kingdom to the world.
The true gospel of the KINGDOM OF GOD was NOT proclaimed
to the world after the first century.
If Christ's gospel OF THE KINGDOM had been proclaimed
through the years, the proclaiming of it NOW would not be the
of Jesus' imminent coming!
PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL IN ALL THE WORLD to be a witness
"unto all nations" IS PREPARING THE WAY BEFORE THE SECOND COMING!
And THAT IS "THE WORK" for now in our day!
And, consider this: the very fact that Jesus gave His sign
of His Second Coming -- the proclaiming of His gospel OF THE
KINGDOM just before He returns to set up that Kingdom -- shows that
"THE WORK" was to be revived AT THIS PRECISE TIME!
"Into ALL THE WORLD" -- So, as stated before, more than
41 years ago the Living Christ called and chose me as His
instrument in reviving "the WORK" -- carrying out the Great
Commission in this END TIME -- just before the END of this present
evil world!
The reviving of "the Work" actually started in 1927 when
Christ called me, brought me to repentance and faith, and upon
baptism, gave me the gift of His Holy Spirit.
The personal living Word of God taught His original
apostles between 27 and 31 A.D. So, in like manner, He taught me
through the written Word of God, beginning in 1927 A.D. As the
original apostles were sent out to proclaim Christ's gospel in 31
A.D., I was ordained and sent to proclaim the same gospel in 1931
A.D.
It was through me that, in August 1933, Christ raised up
the parent church of this present "Philadelphia era" (Rev. 3:7-13)
in Eugene, Oregon, U.S.A.; and on January 7, 1934, the GOSPEL OF
THE KINGDOM started going out over radio; on February 1, 1934, the
PLAIN TRUTH began publication.
"The WORK" was once again, after 18 1/2 centuries,
UNDERWAY! The PROCLAIMING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS "the Work." By
whatever means! -- whether in person, or by radio, or by
television, or in print.
