Dear PLAIN TRUTH Subscriber:
What is happening to the United States now? Suddenly government and
financial circles are sounding the alarm. The inflation spiral has now reached
danger-signal proportions. And there seems no end to the skyrocketing of prices!
The whole world is aflame with local wars and troubles here and there!
The dollar, once the world's monetary standard, has skidded to its lowest value
in foreign markets. United States prestige has sunk to an all-time LOW!
A move of Iranian students, approved by the Moslem religious leader
Khomaini, takes as hostages the U.S. Embassy staff, blackmails the United
States, and, in effect, thumbs their noses at us! Other LITTLE nations insult
and defy the U.S.--Cuba and Panama.
God said through Moses' prophecy in Leviticus 26, that at this time of
the end He would break the pride of our power! We are the MOST powerful
nation on earth! We have the power, but we cringe before small nations!
Our European allies are fast losing all faith in U.S. power to protect
them
from a Soviet Union attack.
This morning, a nuclear WAR alert was sounded in the Pentagon. U.S.
nuclear forces sprang instantly alert around the world. The President's special
jet plane was alerted and ready to whisk him away to safety. Then it was
discovered to be a false alarm. But SUCH A THING COULD HAPPEN AT ANY
HOUR, BEFORE YOU KNOW OF IT! We are living in a time of extreme DANGER!
We are living in the TIME OF THE END of this present civilization!
Today, November 9, Rosalynn Carter, America's first lady, was experiencing
the emotional experience of her life, visiting refugee camps on Thailand's
border,
holding some near-starving little children in her arms. It was the shock of her
life to see the starving and diseased Cambodian women and children fleeing
into Thailand for safety, food and medicine. Another TV shot of her today showed
her with King Bhumibol of Thailand--a king I have spent a total of approximately
four hours with in private on three different meetings with him.
If the people of Iran were starving and dying of hunger and disease, the
United States would be rushing millions of dollars of food and supplies to help
them! But instead the Iranians are angrily burning U.S. flags before large mobs,
and hanging the American president in effigy!
Dear subscriber to The PLAIN TRUTH, it has seemed very apparent that
for some 12 to 15 years, Almighty God has been HOLDING BACK the progress
of prophesied world events. There is a time, foretold in Revelation 7, when
He will do this again.
But then, again, "He will finish the Work, and cut it short in
righteousness;
