Now news that over the Berlin crisis we are nearer WAR than
any time in ten years! It is like the irresistible FORCE (Russia)
coming against the IMMOVABLE OBJECT (America and the allies) in
Berlin. Khrushchev has issued an ultimatum. Unless the allies get
out of Berlin by May 27th there will be WAR! He has threatened
that MILLIONS will be killed. Then, most recent news--Secretary
Dulles says the allies WILL NOT BUDGE from West Berlin! In his own
words, "risking WAR rather than being taken out of Berlin."
Dear Co-Workers, CAN YOU SEE that events are SPEEDING UP
VIOLENTLY--that we are now FAST nearing the END of this world--the
END of the time allotted for OUR MISSION?
God Almighty has called YOU, with me, to the most important
mission on earth in these final perilous days! 1900 years ago
Jesus Christ came to earth with a Message from GOD to man. He
taught that Message to His Disciples, whom He ordained Apostles.
For two 19-year time-cycles they were allowed to proclaim that
vital Gospel Message to the world of that day. But apostacy set
in. Men turned AWAY from the TRUTH and unto FABLES (II Tim 4:l-4).
After 69 A.D., the true Gospel Jesus brought was never again
proclaimed in any organized manner to the world.
Instead, Gentiles came into the Church, bringing with them
their PAGAN beliefs and customs. They began to call their PAGAN
religion "Christianity." They continued to accept and go by the
NAME of Christ. They continued to preach a gospel of their own
ABOUT Christ. But HIS VITAL MESSAGE they snuffed out! All this,
Jesus and the New Testament writers foretold!
But, Jesus said, just BEFORE the END OF THIS WORLD--just
BEFORE the Second Coming of Christ, the knowledge of HIS GOSPEL
MESSAGE WAS to be RESTORED. Thru human instruments of His calling
and choosing, Jesus said: "This Gospel of the KINGDOM (of GOD)
shall be preached (and published, Mark 13:10) in all the world for
a witness unto all nations, and THEN shall the END (of this world)
come" (Matt. 24:14).
Co-Workers, YOU and I are the very ones He has called and
chosen as His instruments in this most important mission of our
time! God OPENED THE DOORS of radio and the printing press before
me the very first week in 1934--25 years ago! It started very
small. But God blessed HIS WORK--caused it to grow and grow, in
spite of every persecution and opposition. He added Co-Workers to
work with me. HE ADDED YOU! Today we are in the SEVENTH YEAR of
our SECOND 19-year TIME-CYCLE which God has allotted for this
MASS-PROCLAIMING of THIS MESSAGE FROM GOD! If God does not cut the
time short, we may have another 12 years to complete this GREAT
COMMISSION.
BUT--speaking of this terrible world-chaos now INTENSIFYING
rapidly, Jesus said man would develop to the place where he would
WIPE ALL LIFE FROM THE EARTH, U N L E S S God Almighty intervenes
with supernatural power to CUT SHORT these days. And, said Jesus
(Matt 24:22), "For the ELECT'S SAKE, those days SHALL BE CUT
SHORT!"
