paigning to "GET" the office of
POWER, one vocal observer said,
"Thank God, only ONE candidate
can win."
That is the way GOVERNMENT
is carried on in this world.
Six thousand years ago, the
former superarchangel Lucifer,
having rebelled against the gov–
ernment of God on earth, and
now called Satan, was slinking
around as a
serpeo~.
God had just
created the first HUMAN- in
God's own image-with a poten–
tia! of inberiting the THRONE OF
THE EARTH.
From this man, Adam, God
made a woman, Eve, to be bis
wife. Eve was all for a "Women's
Rights Amendment." She took
the Iead. The man, created to be
the head of the wife, succumbed
to her leadership. She led him
into Satan's way. Adam joined
her in rebelling against the Gov–
ERNMENT OF Goo--rejecting
God as Revealer of basic knowl–
edge and as Giver of eterna!
LIFE!
When the first man and
woman REJECTED Goo and H1s
GOVERNMENT, CUT THEMSELVES
OFF from God and the gift of His
Holy Spirit, God made their deci–
sion binding on all their progeny
for 6,000 years- until Christ, the
"second Adam," should have
come, qualified by overcoming
Satan and Satan's way and actual–
ly RESTORE tbe GOVERNMENT OF
Goo. This shall happen now, very
shortly. For we are right at the
END of that 6,000 years of the
DAY OF MAN under SATAN, and
the DAY OF THE LORD is almost
upon us!
So ALL HUMANITY-except the
minutest FEW God has specially
called to His service in prepara–
tion for that future world govern–
ment, has been CUT OFF from
God and HIS GOVERNMENT. Man
has been left to form HIS owN
ideas of how he should be ruled.
Down through history, sorne
peoples have submitted to the
tyranny of DICTATORSHIPS and
autocratic MONARCHIES. Sorne
have swung to the center and
called it democracy. Others to the
extreme Ieft, calling it COMMU–
NISM. Even there it is actually the
4
autocratic dictatorial RULE of a
central politburo, in which one
man-a Stalin, a Khrushchev or a
Brezhnev-dominates as real
RULER.
Even in the Democratic nation–
al convention, sorne individual
delegates interviewed were fight–
ingly for turning "still farther
LEFT."
But through TV, the public has
seen a sample of MAN-made gov–
ernment in our day.
The living Jesus Christ is soon
now going to return, as KING of
kings, to RULE ALL NATIONS with
the GOVERNMENT OF Goo!
There will be no election cam–
paigns. No multimillion dollar
fund-raising campaigns- no po–
litical conventions. No politics,
pulling the wool over the eyes of
the people in the struggle for
POWER!
No wars. No crime. No more
broken families . No hospitals, for
people will be divinely healed.
Wbat will be the BIG DIFFER–
ENCE,THEN?
The present world, though the
world of humans doesn't realize
it, is actually swayed and RULED
by the invisible Satan- the for–
mer Lucifer who originally sat on
the THRONE of the whole earth.
Backtrack a second, to the
original Adam and Eve. In the
Garden of Eden were the two
symbolic trees-one the "tree of
LI FE" symbolizing the Holy Spirit
of God and gift of eterna! life.
The other, the tree of "the knowl–
edge of good and evil" and this
knowledge they- for all humani–
ty-took
to themselves.
Just one super-s ignificant
thing was wrong with that. They
did not realize- and mankind
does not know today- that man
was made with a " human" spirit
inside him. This spirit, not pres–
ent in animals or any otber
physical life form, imparts the
power of intellect to the human
brain. But man's KNOWLEDGE is
confined to the physical and
material.
Man 's PROBLEMS, troubles,
evils, are all SPIRITUAL in natur.e.
Man was made to NEED a SECOND
SPIRIT- the HOLY SP tRIT OF
Goo. This was freely offered that
first Adam. But he rejected it–
rejected Goo's GOVERNMENT and
Goo's revealed spiritual knowl–
edge. All humans have been born
with only this one spirit, limiting
human knowledge to the physical
and material. Man, without the
Holy Spirit of God, is NOT MBN–
TALLY COMPLETE-actually "NOT
ALL THERE." Human conscious–
ness is limited to the physical and
material , yet all bis problems are
SPIRITUAL and beyond his com–
prehension!
NOT ONLY THIS!
Satan the devil is REAL- he
exists- he
ÍS
SUPER POWER–
FUL- and he
ÍS
"the PRINCE OF
THE POWER OF THE AIR" (Ephe–
sians 2:2). He BROADCASTS! He
surcharges the air with HIS ATTI–
TUDE of selfishness, vanity, lust
for power and greed, envy and
jealousy, competition and strife,
rebellion against Goo!
It is not only that mankind–
our human LEADERS- are only
"HALF THERE" mentally- Satan
has begun injecting from infancy
into every human his SELF-CEN–
TERED ATTITUDE! All we humans
grow up saturated with it.
lt
has
become HUMAN NATURE!
So it is not only a matter of
what ISN'T IN OUR HUMAN MINOS
(spiritual comprehension!), it is a
matter of WHAT IS
IN
HUMAN
MINDS- what from infancy Satan
has been injecting there- t he
SELF-CENTERED ATTITUDE-that
of competition, getting the best of
others, "GETTING" instead of
"G IVING"-TAKING
FROM
OTHERS!
This writing was finished on
Friday morning after the conélu–
sion of the Democratic National
Convention. Senator Kennedy did
concíliate just far enough to go to
the convention hall platform after
Preside n t Carter's acceptance
speech. But he was not smiling.
He was sullen, plainly resentful.
He coldly shook hands with the
President- but no lifting of
arms together in joyful smiles.
J
felt sorry for him. He had not
gotten all he coveted-like a
spoiled baby, who failed to take
away a toy from another baby.
Just as in all of us, Satan had
