Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
I'm sure you've heard the BIG NEWS on our broadcasts
which go around the world! The BIGGEST NEWS since 1934--the second
biggest news of the century--occurred on January 1st, 1959!
You've heard me say, ever since you have listened to The
WORLD TOMORROW program, or read The PLAIN TRUTH, that very soon TEN
NATIONS in Europe will unite to resurrect the ancient ROMAN EMPIRE!
They may call it the UNITED STATES OF EUROPE. I don't know what
name they will adopt. But I do know it is coming.
I know it because I know the Bible is GOD'S WORD. I
have PROVED the divine inspiration of the Bible. And the Bible
says TEN NATIONS are going to unite to give their military power
and strength to one central leader. It will last but a short time.
It will go to oblivion at the second coming of CHRIST!
On January 1st, 15 days ago, TEN EUROPEAN NATIONS united
together into a single ECONOMIC unit.
I want you to notice, it was an ECONOMIC combine--not a
political or military union. This is not, yet, the actual
prophesied resurrection of the Roman Empire. It is not, in all
probability, even the SAME ten nations that will form the
prophesied restored ROMAN EMPIRE! But it is a dramatic forerunner!
It is the BEGINNING of the uniting of the nations of Europe. The
coming FUEHRER who shall rise to lead this revived Empire--he is
called the BEAST in Revelation 17--he is called "a king of fierce
countenance" in Daniel 8:23--"shall PROSPER, and practise, and
shall destroy the mighty and holy people. And through his policy
also he shall cause craft to prosper."
When this new Empire rises, and then quickly FALLS like
a flashing comet, we read in Rev. 18:11-19: "And the merchants of
the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their
merchandise any more: ... and the merchants of these things, which
were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her
torment, weeping and wailing, ... for in one hour so great riches
is come to naught. ... Alas, alas that great city, wherein were
made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her
costliness!"
So you see, one of the outstanding phases of this coming
