I did not know until I stood up before the microphone that I would say
that.
But you see, Jesus Christ put words in my mouth that showed them I was speaking
of
the SUPREME CREATOR, regardless of their religion. Jesus gave me the words to
show
GOD'S POWER, without offense to any because of his religious belief.
I then said that many consider me an ambassador without portfolio (that is,
no
official political authority), but in fact, I told them, I was an official
ambassador
of the GREAT GOD who created us all. I brought to them, from Him, GOOD NEWS--
news
of the world's ONLY HOPE--that we are now in the very LAST DAYS of this present
man-made civilization, with more problems and evils than mankind CAN SOLVE--and
that
SOON NOW--in OUR GENERATION--God will INTERVENE, and set up the WORLD RULING
KINGDOM
OF GOD and that we shall then have world peace, happiness, JOY and economic
ABUNDANCE
for ALL in ALL NATIONS.
I said, "I don't ask you to BELIEVE what I say. We humans won't bring this
about--it will be DONE TO US--and IN SPITE OF US--whether we believe it or not--
whether we want it or not. I have just ANNOUNCED IT TO YOU, and it DEFINITELY
SHALL HAPPENI"
Thus, in few words, and, even waiting at every sentence for the interpreter

GOSPEL
OF THE KINGDOM to some 300 of the leaders of Japan and several other nations!
I might mention, THIS is what the Attorney General's office in California
is

In the
past two years, we have not spent one tenth of one million dollars on this
important
Work of carrying the GOSPEL into nations worldwide. For the past ten years,
this part
of the Work has cost less than ONE million dollars a year--whereas our budget
calls
for SEVERAL million dollars per year for SALARIES to ministers and the staff at
Headquarters plus several million for radio, TV and printing.
I must break off now and hurry into a business suit--for I am to have a
meeting
in less than two hours with Prime Minister Ohira. I have met and visited with
every
Japanese Prime Minister in the past ten years--Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, Prime
Minister Tanaka, Prime Minister Miki, and now Prime Minister Ohira. I have been
highly honored in Japan. There's the saying that a prophet is without honor in
his
own country. That's where the PERSECUTION comes from. But here, I am honored
