OF GOD--which is the only TRUE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST! China now has a
population of
approximately A THOUSAND MILLION--a fourth of earth's population!
I was the invited guest of the government. They placed a limousine
(government-
owned) and an interpreter at my disposal for the entire stay in Peking. I found
them
all very warm and friendly.
So the living Jesus Christ has protected God's Work completely, and given
it great
advances, in spite of the state's attack. The state's lawsuit is actually a
matter of "WHO
is LORD--Caesar or CHRIST?" The Constitution gives the church separation from
the
state--and so the issue eventually must be decided.
It has been a momentous decade--that of the 70s. Actually, it appeared in
the
late 60s that we were so near the END of this present world that this Gospel
Work might
end by 1972. You will find in the book of Revelation, 10th chapter, that we came
to
a time when it was believed "that there should be time no longer"--or as in the
Revised
Standard and other translations, "no more delay." But then came the message of
the
"little book," when it was decreed "Thou must prophesy (preach or proclaim)
again before
many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings" (verse 11).
During the decade of the 70s, Christ has opened the door for me to be
invited for
private meetings with perhaps more kings, emperors, presidents and prime
ministers
all over the world--on all continents--than any other man on earth. The TRUE
Gospel
has gone to the heads of governments! And now, the latest, has come an
invitation to
Moscow! It is planned for me to appear there in early May.
However, as the decade of the 80s dawns, a very significant event involves
the
Soviet Union.
So let us now look to the present and the future through this new decade
of the
80s.
For the past weeks the BIG NEWS, especially in the U.S., has been the
hostages
being held at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran.
But on Thursday of last week, a NEW development--highly significant--
occurred.
