For more than 40 years now The PLAIN TRUTH has been
proclaiming an outstanding series of Bible prophecies of something
due soon to occur in Europe that will change the whole world and
shake up the lives of every one of us. Daniel's prophecy in
chapter 2 pictures 10 nations in Europe in our time right now, as
the 10 toes on the two feet of the great symbolic image. Five of
those toes picture five nations in Western Europe and five in
Eastern Europe. Then is pictured a great stone, representing
Christ at his soon Second Coming, smiting those toes, and coming to
rule in the Kingdom of God over all those and all other nations on
earth. This is further explained in the 17th chapter of
Revelation, depicting those 10 nations of Europe uniting under the
Roman Catholic Church. In the last decade certain leaders in
Europe have been working feverishly to bring about such a reuniting
of Europe. I have personally spoken to the principal leaders in
this struggle, and to leaders in Spain, Greece and Austria.
For some reason God has been holding back the fulfillment of
this prophecy--BUT IT IS CERTAIN TO OCCUR! Could this 40th year be
the year that will bring it about?
Meanwhile God's Work is growing now as never before. The
first two TV broadcasts of this year each broke all records for
responses from viewers. Those records were surpassed in February,
with over 17,000 telephone responses from a single telecast.
I am now hard at work on a new book. It probably will be
the largest and most important book I have ever written. The title
is MYSTERY OF THE AGES. It is being written as a textbook for the
second year Theology class in Ambassador College. It will be
published before the fall new school year begins. Copies will be
made available to you.
Meanwhile remember this is the shortest month of the year
and therefore one of our most difficult financially. You have your
own vital part in keeping this greatest Work on earth going--and
GROWING.
With love and prayers, in Jesus' name,
