Does that mean we have far LESS than the remaining 12 years
of our allotted two 19-year time cycles? lT MAY! LET ME TELL YOU,
IT IS LATER THAN WE THINK!
Now THINK! What will any of your present PLEASURES, or
acquisitions, or possessions, or money, mean to you IF, in two,
three, or even 12 more years, the prophesied INVASION by the
Nazi-Fascist European Empire blasts out of existence our main
CITIES--killing ONE-THIRD of all Americans; and the drought-
famine and disease epidemics kill anothor THIRD of all our people,
and the remaining THIRD are taken captive as SLAVES, exactly as
prophesied (Ezek. 5:12, and 6:6)?
But, GOD HAS PROMISED ABSOLUTE PROTECTION AND SECURITY to
those of us who are CARRYING HIS MESSAGE to the world and are
FAITHFUL, WATCHING world news, keeping CLOSE and YIELDED to God,
and PRAYING ALWAYS (Rev. 3:7-10; Luke 21:36).
I do not mean by that to suggest any of you ought to sell
your home, or all your possessions. You NEED a home--we all do, in
order that we may CARRY ON GOD'S WORK. I do not mean anything
foolish--but I do mean that nearly ALL of us are spending money for
things we DO NOT NEED, which COULD be put into this great work of
GOD--if we are sufficiently yielded to God and His will, and our
hearts first of all on the things above--and the mission to which
Christ has called us!
Here we are, in the middle of February--SHORTEST MONTH OF
THE YEAR. While WORLD events are speeding up with rapid
acceleration, the income from you Co-Workers to keep GOD'S WORK
also growing in power and scope and accelerating sufficiently to
keep pace, IS DROPPING DOWN ALARMINGLY!
Co-Workers, THIS CANNOT CONTINUE! We must tighten our
belts a little more. WE MUST CONTRIBUTE MORE GENEROUSLY--all who
are ABLE--than we have been! God--and the great WORK OF GOD--is
WAITING ON YOU! Beside our honest and faithful TITHES, which
belong to God, we must be MORE GENEROUS with liberal OFFERINGS
besides!
We have the protection, the guidance, the BLESSING, of the
Eternal GOD! His work must come FIRST! Let us re-dedicate our
lives to His task! Let us PRAY fervently, as never before, with
serious, broken and contrite hearts! God's work needs the largest
possible offering within YOUR means by return air-mail! And we
must keep it up! Send tithes and offerings MORE OFTEN, if
possible! GOD BLESS YOU! I know you will do your utmost and PRAY
that God will move on others likewise!
With LOVE, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
