Church, and to me personally. I had never known of a divorce in my own family
as far back as I have record or knowledge. I lived 50 years with the wife of my
youth--happily. I have made every effort to avoid this action that I hate. You
may
be sure, of course, that it is not taken except after every effort, continuous
heartrending prayer, and completely in accordance with God's Word and
teaching, and the teaching of God's Church, especially I Corinthians 7:12-lS.
This determination SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A PRECEDENT TO
ENCOURAGE OR JUSTIFY OTHER DIVORCES IN THE CHURCH.
It is my sincere prayer that this necessary action and any following
publicity will not in any way adversely affect the Church or the spiritual life
or
growth of any of its members.
God reveals truths and matters to His servants. It is our opinion that
there
are other agents bearing influence in this matter. Also that it is the intent to
maximize all adverse publicity against God's Church to the fullest, I feel that
you
should be made aware of what I have revealed here.
With much love, in Jesus' name,

P.S. One last word. As I write, the greater part of the British fleet
that once
"ruled the waves" of the whole world, in one vast armada is arriving just off
the
Falkland Islands, ready for WAR. The Argentines are poised ready for WAR.
British possession of these islands has meant British CONTROL of one of the
great
sea GATES of the world. One of the PROMISES of God to Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, directly repromised to Ephraim (Britain) and Manasseh (United States) in
our day, was to possess these GATES of enemy nations. These gates included the
Suez Canal, Panama Canal, Cape of Good Hope, Gibraltar, Singapore, and these
Falkland Islands. God prophesied that, because of disobedience, we should LOSE
these islands in this end time. All have been lost except these Falkland
Islands,
Gibraltar, Hong Kong and some other incidental islands.
DON'T BE SURPRISED IF THE BRITISH FLEET IS DESTROYED IN THE
NEXT FEW DAYS! Gibraltar will come next, and already is in danger.
