why I was called NOW instead of after Christ comes to RULE and
also to CALL and SAVE (spiritually) the whole world.
The reason YOU were called NOW instead of after Christ comes
is to GET BACK OF ME in taking this MESSAGE to ALL THE WORLD!
That's WHY you were called. AND YOU, AS WELL AS I, ARE BEING
JUDGED by the Almighty right NOW as to whether we put this calling
FIRST in our lives, or whether we trample the sacred call underfoot
and put other things--including personal interests--first.
Judgment is ON US right now! (I Peter 4:17)
For 40 years I found the doors CLOSED for getting this all-
important MESSAGE into most MASS-POPULATION countries of the world.
But now, at last, GOD has started OPENING those doors wide before
me. The work I am doing now is PAVING THE WAY for other of our
ministers to follow in delivering this END-TIME MESSAGE into these
great nations!
I am writing you from Paris. The day before yesterday I had
another hour's conference with Prince Bernhard of Holland. Today
I am to have lunch with my warm and affectionate friend King Leopold
of Belgium. Then, after a few days in Pasadena, on to Jamaica for
a testimonial dinner with some fifty or more top officials,
followed in one or two weeks by a full campaign.
Let's GIVE OUR FINAL SUPREME EFFORT from now on to finish
this great Work to which the Creator GOD has called us. PRAY
earnestly that God will again give us an increased income for His
Work of 30 percent a year, as He did for 35 years!
To give what I have written here a much wider circulation, I
am having most of it reprinted as a "Personal" editorial in PLAIN
TRUTH.
Pray earnestly and continually for Garner Ted and me, and for
the whole Work!
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
