Have WE, through this Work, RESTORED anything? Indeed we have! We
have RESTORED the TRUE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST--through us JESUS
CHRIST has already begun RESTORING the KNOWLEDGE of what had been
taken away--the GOVERNMENT OF GOD. Through us the living Christ has been
preparing for his SECOND COMING for the PURPOSE of RESTORING ALL
THINGS!
NONE OTHER has RESTORED the knowledge of the fact GOD'S
GOVERNMENT was established on earth, and then DESTROYED and taken away
by the Cherub Lucifer (Satan) and his demons.
Jesus did NOT restore God's government at his first coming. Instead, he
proclaimed the GOOD NEWS (Gospel) of it. He was crucified for the SINS of the
world, he overcame Satan, he qualified to establish and rule God's Kingdom,
THEN HE ASCENDED TO HEAVEN.
WHY? To be given the Kingship to RULE the Kingdom, and to be these
1,950 years OUR HIGH PRIEST, preparing us to RULE in his KINGDOM when he
comes to RESTORE ALL THINGS!
Brethren, do you realize for WHOM he is now the living active HIGH
PRIEST? Over you and me--over the one and only true Church of GOD! Not over
this world's churches--"BABYLON THE GREAT [Rev. 17:51, THE MOTHER OF
HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
It is the living JESUS CHRIST who had been ACTUALLY DOING the Work.
He has used YOU and me as his INSTRUMENTS! WHAT A PRIVILEGE AND JOY!
I hope this letter REVEALS to YOU a little more of the NEW KNOWLEDGE
never before understood, which the living Christ has been revealing to me in
recent days!
We are persecuted. I am persecuted. John the Baptist was persecuted.
Jesus
was persecuted and put to death. Do we realize HOW NEAR we now are to
Christ's coming and the final restoration of all things--of PEACE, HAPPINESS,
JOY and SUPREME ACCOMPLISHMENT on earth?
Time is now growing daily shorter. DO YOU GET THE SENSE OF
URGENCY--OF RESPONSIBILITY TO DO YOUR PART? Pray for me fervently. I
sorely need your prayers. Pray for the Work. SACRIFICE FOR THE WORK. Great
shall be your reward in the KINGDOM!
With deep love, in Jesus' name,
