ALMOST daily letters are received from interested radio
listeners saying "I should like to know more about your work."
This, then, is an explanation.
This work, we believe, has been raised up of Almighty God
to sound a definite WARNING to our people, and to proclaim in these
closing days that which has not been proclaimed, the TRUE Gospel---
the Good News of the KINGDOM OF GOD.
In the Bible---God's revelation and special message to
man---are whole chapters and books of prophecy whose meaning has
been sealed until this present time of the END. Whole Books of the
Bible had no meaning to those of a generation or two ago. Like
Daniel's prophecy (Dan. 12:8-10) these vital prophecies were sealed
---closed to human understanding until NOW. They pertain to world
events, NOW. A very large portion of all the prophecies of the
Bible pertain to THIS very generation in which we live.
Bible prophecies have foretold that, in these latter
days, the popular churches would have turned their ears away from
hearing the TRUTH, and be turned to FABLES; (II Tim, 4:1-4) being
DECEIVED into believing they have the truth (Rev.13:14; 18:3;
19:20). That they would maintain all the FORM of religion, but
be devoid of God's POWER, or of true understanding (II Tim. 3:1-
5). That they would refuse to HEAR the law of the Eternal, and
would demand that their ministers preach the soft and smooth
things, and the deceits (Isa. 30:8-40). And that, as a result,
the ministers of this time would be "feeding themselves" instead
of the flock---that is, preaching what they are TOLD in order to
retain their salaries, instead of preaching GOD'S TRUTH. (Ezek.
34:1-5)
The prophecies show that our people today are "IN
BABYLON" (Rev. 18:4),---that is, in confusion---with hundreds of
sects and denominations, each interpreting the Bible differently.
The Bible should not BE interpreted at all. If I write you a
letter making plain, simple statements, you understand my meaning
without "interpreting" my letter. If you begin to "interpret" what
I said, you would be applying to it a meaning DIFFERENT from the
obvious intended meaning of plain simple statements. And so it is
with the Bible. Differences in belief come from INTERPRETING, when
God never intended us to interpret His Message at all. That is why
Jesus said that the Scriptures would be revealed unto BABES, but
