of Tyre and Sidon, ancient cities on the eastern Mediterranean,
which have fulfilled prophecy, to use on the coming television
programs.
After seeing Tyre and Sidon, we expect to visit PETRA,
the rose-red city carved out of solid rock in the mountains to the
Southeast of Jerusalem. Petra may very well be the site for God's
protection of HIS PEOPLE---those who are counted WORTHY TO ESCAPE
the terrifying GREAT TRIBULATION that is soon to strike an
unsuspecting Israel! PETRA, an ancient Arab stronghold deep in the
rugged mountains, is accessible only by traveling through narrow,
twisting gorges on horseback! I hope to have some very interesting
pictures of this city of solid rock to show when I return!
Then---we will go to Jerusalem. Co-Workers, I can't tell
you the anticipation I am feeling---the JOY at thinking of seeing
with my own eyes the very center of the Bible record! We will
actually SEE dozens of sites rich in Bible history---where Jesus
Christ Himself walked and taught His disciples---and many other
places in Palestine of VITAL IMPORTANCE. We hope to see the VERY
VALLEY where the final great battle of God Almighty is to be
fought!
Later, we will fly to Greece, the site of much of the
Apostle Paul's work---and from Greece, we'll go to Rome. As you
know, Mrs. Armstrong and I were in Rome two years ago, during our
trip to Europe.
Did you ever stop to realize, dear Co-Workers, that the
Apostle Paul, in all his travels in spreading the Gospel did not
reach as many people as GOD HAS MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO REACH IN
ONE SINGLE WEEK TODAY!
We can reach more people in one week than the Apostle
Paul ever reached in HIS ENTIRE LIFETIME! --- JUST THINK OF IT!
God has called YOU, and He has called ME, to preach the
SAME MESSAGE Jesus preached---the SAME gospel the Apostle Paul
preached---to this ENTIRE WORLD in SUCH TREMENDOUS POWER that it
staggers the imagination! While we are WEAK in flesh, and FEW in
numbers. God has OPENED A DOOR--WHICH NO MAN CAN SHUT! IT'S A
GRAVE AND VITAL RESPONSIBILITY GOD HAS GIVEN US!
After leaving Rome, we will fly back to London, where we
will hold every night evangelistic services! I can't express my
gratitude for this opportunity! I'm sure that with God's help and
guidance, this will mean bringing more people together---people
whose LIVES ARE BEING CHANGED---into a group of called-out ones for
a CHURCH in LONDON.
CO-WORKERS! This trip is HIGHLY IMPORTANT and NECESSARY!
The Middle East is the trouble spot of the entire world at this
moment! Leaders of nations are watching the explosive situation
between the Jews and Arabs---wondering if this will be the spawning
ground for the catastrophic THIRD WORLD WAR! I may be able to meet
Kings and top officials of the governments involved in this present
world disturbance! Just as God led the Apostle Paul before high
