GOVERNMENT?
(Continued f rom page 16)
days of seducing the nations are
numbered!
New Age Coming
Few understand that the Gospel
of J esus Christ is a message about
government, not just about the
person of J esus Christ. (Write for
our free booklet,
What Is the
True Gospel?)
Jesus' Gospel is H is message.
Jesus Christ, the Messiah, was a
messenger. He brought to man–
kind the "gospel [meaning 'good
news'] of the kingdom of God"
(Mark 1: 14)- a message about a
literal, world-ruling government,
soon to be established!
The Gospel is an announce–
ment-a proclamation that the
imperfect, humanly devised gov–
ernments of this world are to pass
into history, to be replaced by the
world- ruling perfect government
of God.
At the clímax of man's rebel–
lion against God- in the impend–
ing period of global chaos and
war, "the God of heaven [shall]
set up a kingdom, which shaJI
never be destrÓyed ... it shall
break in pieces and consume all
these kingdoms [this world's
present governments] and it shall
stand
for ever"
(Daniel 2:44) .
This good news is also de–
scribed in Revelation 11:15-
"And the seventh angel sounded:
and there were great voices in
heaven, saying, T he kingdoms of
this world are become the king–
doms of our Lord, and of his
Christ; and he shall reign for ever
and ever."
Moreover, J esus Christ is not
going to do this ruling by Him–
self! He is coming to set up a
highJy organized
WORLD GOV–
ERNMENT,
with many positions of
authority- positions which will
be filled by former humans who
have qualified for resurrection to
eterna! Jife!
The perfect law of God will
become the very cornerstone of
the Kingdom of God (Micah 4:1-
2) . Satan and his demonic cohorts
will be bound and imprisoned,
44
that they "should deéeive the
nations no more" (Revelation
20:1 -3).
Man ' s very nature will be
changed! "And I will give them
one heart, and
1
will put a new
spirit within you ; and
I
will take
the stony heart out of their flesh,
and will give them an heart of
flesh," God declares (Ezekiel
11:19).
Man wi ll be given God 's .Holy
Spirit- the power to overcome
his nature, and the power to com–
prehend spiritual knowledge. Af–
ter 6,000 years of human history,
the way of
'GI VE"
will at last
replace the way of
"GET."
Sign of t he End
Significantly, one of the major
signs cited by Christ H imself of
the nearness of the end of this
present age is that the Gospel
announcement would be pro–
claimed worldwide. Notice Mat–
thew 24:14-"And this gospel of
the kingdom shall be preached in
al/
the world for a witness unto
al/
nations; and then shall the end
come. "
Yo u .are now heari ng that
announcement through the pages
of
The Plain Truth
magazine and
on
The World Tomorrow
broad–
cast. And the kings, presidents
and prime ministers of this world
are personally hearing it from
Herbert W. Armstrong, editor in
chief of
The Plain Truth
and
Apostle of Jesus Christ.
