combined, owned more than two thirds--nearly three fourths--of all the
cultivated
wealth of the world--NOT BECAUSE WE EARNED IT, BUT BECAUSE GOD
CAUSED OUR PEOPLES TO MIGRATE TO THE LANDS THAT PRODUCED THIS
WEALTH, AND BECAUSE GOD KEPT HIS PROMISE TO ABRAHAM BECAUSE
ABRAHAM OBEYED GOD!
Yet we Americans and British feel WE, of our own superiority, produced
this massive wealth. Since World War I and more so since the Second World War,
we have DISOBEYED GOD in many ways. And GOD HAS ALREADY REDUCED
THE BRITISH TO A COMPARATIVELY SMALL NATION--her Empire is
gone--and the United States is going down and down, and is going to be
conquered in the next war. WE HAVE WON OUR LAST WAR!
Now GOD says, through John, "I wish above all things that thou mayest
PROSPER and be in health" (III John 2). Prosperity comes from OBEYING GOD,
and poverty from disobedience.
But many poverty-stricken nations are jealous and dislike the Americans
and the British. What I have written here explains why.
God brought wealth to our people BECAUSE of Abraham's obedience, and
ALSO SO THAT, IN THESE LAST DAYS, EVEN THE MORE POOR OF OUR
PEOPLE COULD FINANCE THE WORK OF GOD TO CARRY GOD'S LAST
WARNING MESSAGE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO THE WORLD!
You are one so blessed--and SO YOU COULD SUPPORT THIS FINAL
WORK OF GOD.
Be thankful. Give God thanks! Pray for his Work. Pray for me as I pray
for
you. This Work must now go in GREATER POWER, and you have your part.
With deep love, in Jesus' name,
