have since suffered a set-back, with rightists recently holding
the upper hand; but the Communists are planning new moves, and
the ultimate outcome remains in doubt.
In Spain, in TODAY's news, right-wing street demonstrations
swept Spain yesterday, October 7--sparked by recent guerrilla
slayings of policemen. A few days ago General Francisco Franco
had five terrorists executed for the slayings. This created an
uproar all over Europe, with many protests against Franco's
regime.
All over the world the violence pot is boiling. The Spain
and Portugal troubles could trigger the "U.S. OF EUROPE" I have
predicted ever since World War II. It is prophesied in
Revelation 17 and elsewhere in biblical prophecies.
This world is ON FIRE--with VIOLENCE, crime, immorality,
discontent, and just about every kind of trouble. And the
troubles are MOUNTING, hurling us toward that prophesied "GREAT
TRIBULATION" such as never occurred before, nor ever shall
again.
Just before this, however, is prophesied WHAT WE ARE NOW
DOING: when "...this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached
in all the world for a witness unto all nations ..."
(Matt. 24:14), and then (right after this Work God is doing
through us) shall come the END of this present evil world, with
the coming of Christ to RULE ALL NATIONS, with the GOVERNMENT
OF GOD which shall NEVER be overthrown.
All these government overturns--all this utter instability
of all man-made forms of government--means our time is SHORT!
I had plans all developed ready for major campaigns in
South Vietnam, Ethiopia, Thailand, New Delhi and Bombay, India,
and in each case overthrow of governments has prevented them--
for NOW.
We are now planning a campaign for South Korea, but it's a
RACE AGAINST TIME--because we know that North Korea is planning
now to invade South Korea. We must try to get there FIRST.
Brethren, it's far LATER than you think! This is the most
important activity on earth since the first century, A.D.
We are moving with THE WORK swiftly! I need your earnest,
prevailing, believing PRAYERS! We need INCREASED FINANCIAL
SUPPORT! IT IS URGENT! THANK YOU IN JESUS' NAME.
And with LOVE in HIS name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
