in ALL THE WORLD--to even go to kings and heads of nations (Rev. 10:11)--in
bringing the
Church back to the FAITH ONCE DELIVERED (Jude 3)?
HAS THIS HAPPENED, IN YOUR DAYS, AND HAS GOD BROUGHT YOU INTO THIS
PROPHETIC FULFILLMENT AS A PART OF IT?
HAS ANYONE ELSE DONE IT?
Brethren, HOW did the living Christ prepare me from youth to lead you?
At age 16, on my first job away from my home city, my employer aroused the
spark
of ambition within me. At age 18, I began fulfilling the "7 Laws of Success"--
all but the
seventh, which is guidance from God in being led into the RIGHT goal, and
general divine
guidance. But I was trained in WRITING both advertising copy and magazine

but the annual festivals and Holy Days. I learned the truth about God's
GOVERNMENT having
been established on earth under the archangel Lucifer, and the origin of Satan
and PURPOSE
of God in restoring God's Government over the earth. I learned Jesus was born to
be a KING,
which traditional "Christianity" seems not to know. I learned our identity as
being of the
lost tribes of Israel, and the difference between the kingdoms of Judah and
Israel. This gave
me the KEY to understanding PROPHECIES! God revealed to me the symbols and
truths
of the book of Revelation as revealed through Matthew 24 and Daniel. I learned
