Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
Look what has happened these last six months! Here we are
with the first year of "the sixties" almost gone already. We told
you the sixties would sweep this world on to the very brink of the
END!
These last six months have seen more world happenings
fulfilling prophecy--and preparing the way for such fulfillment--
than any other whole year in history!
They have seen United States prestige slapped, ridiculed, and
plunged into the muck and mire of contempt. It started with the
bungling at Washington in the U-2 case, followed by Khrushchev
publicly insulting President Eisenhower in a manner no former
president was allowed to be insulted by a foreign power, combined
with his scuttling of the Summit Conference.
Next, on Khrushchev's orders, Japanese communists succeeded in
forcing Mr. Eisenhower to cancel his visit to Japan under
circumstances that cost the United States utter "loss of face" in
the East. Over there "face" of the nation's leader means the
prestige of his nation. Then little banty rooster Castro in Cuba
began "slapping" the president's face, accusing and threatening his
colossal neighbors only 90 miles' distance, literally stealing a
billion dollars' worth of American industry in Cuba--and getting
away with it!
How does all this fit into prophecy? Prophecy says ten
nations in Europe are going to UNITE in a giant resurrection of the
Roman Empire, a new colossus drafting the balance of power in the
world. It will become quickly a greater military power than the
United States or Russia, deceiving and invading the United States
and Great Britain. There are TWO great world powers--the United
States and Russia. Only the United States' atomic and hydrogen
bombs have deterred the Kremlin from rolling over and occupying all
of Europe. The nations of Europe lie next door, adjoining Russian
satellites and Russian power. They have had to look to American
might to hold off the Russian hoards. Khrushchev has been stamping
American prestige down into the mud with insolent vengeance. Mean-
while, Russia is boasting of the development of new and far more
frightening weapons than the H-Bomb!
And how is this affecting the nations of Europe?
