the world's number one Newscaster.
This newscast was a FORECAST. And
it's CERTAIN.
1
know, very few ever
realized that Jesus Christ carne as a
NEwsman- reporting NEWS for the
future. He spoke of 20th-century
world conditions- and WORLD GOV–
ERNMENT to come. The world has
misunderstood, perverted, maligned
His message.
The word
gospel
means GOOD
NEWS. And His was news for the
FUTURE. He described today's violent
chaotic world. In the pivota! proph–
ecy of the New Testament of the
world's best selling Book, He graphi–
cally described the international
chaos into which the world is rapidly
plunging right now. He said the
violence would explode into a world
trouble so great, that unless God
intervened, no human would remain
alive.
Yet , He promised, the All–
powerful God would intervene super–
naturally to cut short this world
chaos (Matthew 24:21-22).
NEWS-Past, Present, Future

Holy Bible. And no book ever was so
unread, misunderstood, maligned,
distorted, misrepresented. Those who
profess to use itas the source of their
religion promulgate doctrines dia-

metrically opposite from its teach–
ings.
Few know that a whole third,
approximately, of that Book is de–
voted tO FUTURE NEWS of wor.Jd hap–
penings. News of the now soon–
coming peaceful and happy WORLD
TOMORROW-on through CENTURY
21.

DISPATCH within this volume, which

Advance News Repor t
You never thought of this panoramic
look ahead as a NEWS REPORT? lt's
time we recognized it for precisely
what it is! And it 's exciting!
Incredible though it seems-and
would-be discreditors to the contrary
notwithstanding-the evidence has
demonstrated conclusively that this
world-news report was written be–
tween 500 and 600 years before
Christ.
It concerns the king- of the Chal–
dean Empire that ruled the Western
world from 609 to 539
s.c.
His name
was Nebuchadnezzar. His capital
was the ancient glamor city and
world capital, Babylon. One night
this king dreamed a remarkable and
frightening dream as reported in
Daniel 2. It was one of those rare
dreams that remain indel.ibly im–
pressed on the mind after awaking.
He thought it must have meaning.
So Nebuchadnezzar called in all
his astrologers, his religious leaders,
magicians, his chief advisers, his
wisest men. He determined to test
their clairvoyant powers.
" l t was a terrifying dream, yet it's
gone from me," he told them.
"I
want you to tell me what
1
dreamed.
l f you fail,
1'11
know you are fakes
and phonies, and
1'11
have you all put
to dea:th."
But even with théir lives at stake,
his wisest men could not tell Nebu–
chadnezzar what he had dreamed.
Now among other nations that had
been conquered by this great Chal–
dean king was the Kingdom of
J udah, whose capital city was Jerusa–
lem. These Jews ·had been taken as
captives and transported from· their
homes in their cities, towns and coun–
tryside to the land of the Chaldeans,
where they were made slaves. But
four outstandingly brilliant lads had
been inducted into important govern–
ment positions in Babylon. Among
them was Daniel.
These four Jewish lads were
seized, to be put to death along with
the sorcerers, magicians and Chal–
dean "wise men." Daniel asked for
time, promising that he would be
able to tell the king his dream and its
meaning.
The four Jewish lads prayed to
their God for the answer. That night
it was revealed to Daniel in a
vision.
Repor t on " What l s to Be"
"Are you able to make known to nhe
the dream and its interpretation1"
asked the king when Daniel was
ushered into his presence. "No wise
men can show to the king the mys–
tery," replied .Daniel , "but there
i~
a
God in heaven who reveals mysteries,
and he has made known to you what
is to be.
"You saw, O king, and beholdJ a
great image. This image, mighty ahd
of exceeding brightness, stood before
you, and its appearance was frighten–
ing. T he head of this image was of
fine gold, its breast and arms of
silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,
its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron
and partly of clay.
"As you looked, a stone was cut
out by no human hand, and it smote
the image on its feet of iron and clay,
and broke them in pieces; then the
iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver
and the gold all together were broken
in pieces, and became
lik~
the chaff
of the summer threshing floors; and
the wind carried them away ... But
the stone that struck the image
became a great mountain and filled
the whole earth."
But what did it MEAN? Jts MEAN·
ING was a NEWS forecast leading to
the present world turmoil, and its
imminent and SURE outcome!
Tt
is
NEWS that vitally affects the life of
every reader of
The
P/ain
Truth.
"This," continued Daniel, "was
the dream; now we will tell the king
its interpretation. You, O king, the
king of kings, to whom the God of
heaven has given the kingdom, the
power, and the might, and the glo–
ry .. . you are the head of gold. After
you shall arise another kingdom
