The nations of Europe have desired such a union, as ONE COMBINED
WORLD POWER. It would be perhaps greater in power than either the Soviet
Union or the United States. I have long felt that Franz Josef Strauss is the
most
logical man to head such a giant world power. It is foretold in prophecy in
Revelation 17. It can be brought about only through the Roman Catholic Church,
and Dr. Strauss is a favorite of the Vatican.
An ecumenical union between the Roman Catholic and the Greek Orthodox
churches could well precede such a union of nations into one super, combined
nation.
With me on this trip is my executive assistant, Mr. Robert Fahey, and
also
the head of our world news bureau, Mr. Gene Hogberg. In Mr. Hogberg's office in
Pasadena, California, are researchers of world news and the same teletypes of
the
Associated Press, Reuters and International News Service used by metropolitan
daily newspapers and news bureaus of network television companies. Our news
observers and analysts in the Editorial Department of The PLAIN TRUTH, such as
Mr. Hogberg, visit world capitals and national leaders to keep our writers
informed on the changing scene of world events as they fulfill biblical
prophecy.
The PLAIN TRUTH writers and editors are all knowledgeable of Bible prophecies
and graduates of Ambassador College, with majors in theology, and have biblical
understanding.
In the UNDERSTANDING of biblical prophecies, coupled with
up-to-the-minute grasp of world happenings, The PLAIN TRUTH stands alone,
and for 47 years has been "ahead of its time."
We are living now in the most serious and frightening days of human
history. Prophecy calls it "the time of the end." After my hour-and-a-half talk
with
Franz Josef Strauss I am more convinced than ever that events are poised right
now, ready to strike unexpectedly, which will DUMBFOUND the world into shock
and wonder! People seem unmindful and asleep to THE FACT that for the first
time in history the nuclear weapons exist that can snuff out the lives of every
man,
woman and child on the face of this earth. That includes YOURS! God has a way
of protection for His people. YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT! Jesus Christ said
these END-TIME frightful events will happen SUDDENLY, unexpectedly, when
people do not heed the warning, like animals caught unawares in a snare.
You need to KEEP INFORMED as only The PLAIN TRUTH can inform you.
Some people ask, "How can you publish such a fine magazine without
subscription price or advertising revenue? Where's the catch? Are you a wealthy
philanthropic organization with unlimited funds?" No, we are NOT a wealthy
organization, and there is no catch--no gimmick. But we NEVER BEG THE
PUBLIC FOR CONTRIBUTIONS, either on television, radio or our publications.
But thousands of co-workers BELIEVE in the work the living Jesus Christ is doing
in and through us, and have voluntarily, on their own initiative, become
co-workers, having their part with us in this most important work on earth
today.
Candidly, we welcome co-workers, but by no means are they solicited. They know
