pany is buying your services, your
experience and your abilities. An
employer wants to hire you only if
you can make him money. Sell him
your ability to make him money.
Prove to your employer your ser–
vices will be profitable to him!
Be factual! Get to the point and
say clearly and concisely what sort
of abilities you have to offer and
what your experience is. Do not
reel off endless details about your
jobs you held years ago.
Employers also look for loyal,
cooperative employees who do not
complain and criticize thei r last
employers. Employers want well–
adjusted, happy people
who got
along well as part of a team with
their last employers
and fellow
workers. They want someone who is
willing to work, and do as he is told.
A word of caution.
Most interviewers will turn
down any job applicants who

of life is opened for the first time
(Rev . 20:11-12).
But just before then, at the end
of the thousand years of peace in
the world tomorrow, the devil will
go forth to deceive the nations who
were not imbued with God's Holy
Spirit. He will be overcome and
"cast into the lake of fire and brim–
stone, where the beast and false
prophet are, and shall be tormented
day and night for ever and ever"
(verse 10). Notice that the word
"are" is in italics in the King James
Bible. It is an inserted word to
complete the meaning, and should
be rendered "were cast"-because
the beast and false prophet are
human beings who will be burned
up when they are cast into the lake
of fire just before the thousand
years begins (Rev. 19:20).
At this point, sorne of you may
be thinkíng about the parable of
Lazarus and the rich man-and
wondering if the rich man wasn't
pictured as beíng in eterna! tor–
ment. He definitely was not! But

launch into a philosophical spiel
about their "eagerness, " their
"willingness to work," "character"
and "ambition."
Also, an interviewer almost
always turns down any job appli–
cant who discusses his personal dif–
ficulties. They are hiring money–
making producers, not problems.
Be Persistent
Make job-hunting a full-time job.
Begin looking for a job early in the
morning. Don't quit until closing
time. You will work for your
employer 40 hours a week. Why
not work at Jeast that much for
yourself?
Job researchers insist the job–
hunter should be able to make
nearly one applícatíon an hour, 40 a
week for nonexecutíve jobs. They
state that jobs on the executíve lev–
e! require much longer interviews.
Seta goal of a certain number of
Now contínuíng in Revelation
20, notice in verse
13
that the
remainíng dead are raised in a third
resurrection and are judged "ac–
cording to their works." These are
the wicked who were called
in this
life and who rebelled. Verse 14 con–
tinues, "And death and hell
[hades,
the grave] were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death." Here
ís a plain statement revealíng that
gehenna, or the lake of fire,
IS
the
SECOND DEATH.
Truth Makes Free
"The wages of sin is DEATH' '- not
eterna! life in hell-fire. When will
the deceíving "hell-fire" preachers
repent of preaching this
LIE
in
order to frighten people into a false,
temporary repentance based on an
unreasoned, superstitious fear of
eterna! torment?
Liars will not have their names
written in the Lamb's book of life
(Rev. 21 :27), "And whosoever was
not found written in the book of life
was cast into the lake of fire" (Rev.
20:15).
Thus, the Bible reveals a very
different God from the one so often
preached today.
It
seems that men either try to
do away with God's power alto–
gether by preaching as though God
had gone "way off" and left man to
applications a day until you land
your job.
Call up and ask to speak with the
directors of the various company
divisions, the lab dírectors or the
shop foreman. lf you have good
qualifications, the lab director may
híre you even if there ís no opening
at the moment. He must look ahead
to future needs. Show initiative,
drive. Put forth this effort. Pro–
spective employers are impressed
by initiative.
Most job-seekers stop with the
interview, when many a job could
be secured by a follow-through.
Keep going back. Sorne em–
ployers make it a policy to hire an
individual only after his second or
third visit. They want a person who
is persistent.
Sometimes a thank-you note to

you, or a telephone call in a week or

work things out according to
human reason, or they go to the
opposite extreme and look upon
God as an "angry Judge" who is
just waiting for an opportunity to
punish helpless sinners throughout
all eternity.
The Creator of heaven and earth
is now permitting man to sin and
suffer in order to learn certain les–
sons.
If
man will accept God's truth
as it is revealed, and learn these
lessons God intended, he wíll be
given eternallife in God's kingdom.
But if he stubbornly persists in
going the way that leads to
wretchedness and misery for him–
self and others, God in his merey
will cut off his life by casting him
into the lake of fire-which is the
second death.
Untold sufferíng and mental
anguish has been caused by the
false doctrine of an angry God
plunging everyone who did not fol–
low certain denominational teach–
ings into a terrifying "hell-fire."
Most people have been bound by
denominational teachings, and too
few have been willing to study all the
scríptures on the subject to see.what
the Bible really saíd. But Jesus said
of those who were willing to contin–
ue in his word, "And ye shall know
the truth, and the truth shall make
you free" (John 8:32).
