The campaign for the presidency of the United States. Is anyone
qualified for so great an office?
M
lLUONS of dollars are being donated to
and spent by aspi rants for the presidency
of the United States. What a spectacle it
is! Most who contribute to campaign
expenses do so for selfish advantage, hoping to
get
something out of it. This world has been
brainwashed by a subtle and clever devil in the
"GET" principie of life.
The winner will have his hand on the greatest
throttle of POWER possessed by any man on earth.
And that is what the candidates coveT!
It
makes
me think of the 15-year-old boy who can hardly
wait another year to get his hand on the POWER
that goes with a steering wheel. Usually those who
covet power are not competent to wield it. Actually
is there any mortal really qualified for the position?
Today, there are no more reaJly "strong" leaders
in the world in the government of any nation. But
one is now looming on the horizon- Pope John
Paul II . We may hear a lot more of him, later.
Whatever happens in the U.S . e lections, tbe
country LOSES! l f there exists a man in the United
States of presidential caliber, he would be big–
minded enough to refuse to run for the job.
In any event, the heads of the governments of
Europe-and are any of them really of adequate
caliber for their grcat jobs?- have lost confidence
in relying on the United States to protect them
from communist encroachments. T he Soviet Union
has now made the move toward their projected
WORLD DOMINATIO of COmmunism by sending,
now, more than 100,000 troops into Afghanistan.
They will not retreat. They a re in no great hurry (a
bear lumbers along slowly most of the time). One
more small leap across Pakistan and they can reach
for control of the Indian Ocean and the Persian
Gulf-controlling a major portion of the world's
oil. Europe now fears them. The Europeans want
political and military UNION. No leader in Europe
is strong enough to unite them.
BuT, Pope J ohn Paul 11 is rapidly gaining stature
September 1980
and public acclaim. He now looms as the world's
ONLY STRONG MAN! He can bring about the
prophesied resurrection of the " Holy Roman
Empire" just prior to the crisis at the close of this
age of man. But all this is the final gasp of the
governments of this world, under the sway of an
invisible Satan and his way of "GET."
Just consider how idiotic- how foolish- it all is!
T he GOVER
ME
T OF Goo will soon take over.
Jesus Christ, in SUPREME POWER ANO GLORY, will
HEAD the government of the World Tomorrow over
all nations. There will be no elections. No $100-
per-plate banquets to raise funds for willful
aspirants who covet POWER. No unqualiñed men
running for office. No fear of other nations, nor of
nuclear war.
Those Jesus Christ will APPOINT to the chief
offices ALREADY have undergone their training in
their mortal life on earth. 1 expect father Abraham
to be resurrected to the next office under Christ.
King David will rule al! the nations developed out
of the 12 tribes of anc ient Israel. Each of the
original apostles will be appointed head of one of
those 12 nations. Christ wi ll be Supreme Judge as
well as Supreme Executive. The "Congress,"
" Parliament" Or LAW-MAK ING BODY wiJl be GOD
TI-lE fATilER IN HEAVEN. Those of us-then made
immortal- who are given office of rule will rule by
Goo's LAw! All will be JUST. We shall not rule or
judgc as the world does
now~but
we shall have
powcr to rcad men's minds and hcarts ( lsaiah 11).
No ELECTIONS! NO ME inadequately qualified
for office spending millions of dollars crying out,
"Vote for me- 1 want to be President." We now
do not have long to wait. This present election may
be the very LAST political election for the
presidency of the United States.
There will soon be a new world with no more
coveting, nor lying, nor murders, nor broken homes and
families. There shall be PEACE, HAPPINESS, JOY, all
living the way of"G!VE," which is outAowing LOVE! o
