Next is to come the GREAT TRIBULATION (Matt. 24:21-22; see also
Jeremiah 30 and Daniel 12:1).
Immediately, cutting short the Great Tribulation, will be the "Day of
the Lord"--the beginning of God's supernaturally ending the Tribulation and
beginning the preliminary supernatural occurrences in the sky and plagues on
earth, preliminary to Christ's coming in POWER and GLORY to reign.
Next now, however, before and causing the Great Tribulation will be the
resurrection of the medieval "Holy Roman Empire" in Europe. This has already
had a preliminary start in the "Common Market" in Europe. Other conditions
now occurring in the world will trigger this revived "United States of Europe."
That includes the Russian situation, the Soviets invading Afghanistan, the death
of Tito, which will tempt the USSR to move in, and at the same time force
European nations to combine in one super-power combined group with force
equal or superior to the USSR or the USA. We have been writing many articles
on these events in The PLAIN TRUTH.
This whole world situation, and progress of prophesied events from now
to the VERY SOON COMING OF CHRIST can be understood ONLY by an UNDERSTANDING
of where the United States and British nations are mentioned in biblical
prophecy. We have published and sent out, free, millions of copies of
the booklet THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN IN PROPHECY. No one can
understand Bible prophecy without this knowledge. This book first was printed
more than 45 years ago. It has been out of print, except for a greatly reduced
and abbreviated version, since about 1972. Many or most of our members and
co-workers have never read this VERY important book.
We now have a new complete edition, 166 pages--perhaps the most beautiful
booklet we have ever published. I will be happy to send you a copy, free for
the asking, upon request.
We are living in the most exciting, but also the most terrifying, days of
world history. We are VERY NEAR THE END of this evil world. A HAPPIER
world of PEACE and universal salvation to all who will is just around the
corner.
YOU NEED TO BE PRAYING. You need to be faithful in PAYING GOD
HIS TITHE, and in GIVING generous offerings. Your giving makes it possible
for us to give THE PRECIOUS GOSPEL MESSAGE to the WHOLE WORLD,
by radio, TV, in print. Pray for me, please--and pray for this great Work of
God, as I pray every day for YOU.
With deep love, in Jesus' name,
