Jesus proceeded to warn them
of how even they- His original
apost les
10
the first century–
would be deliv ered up to be
afflicted and kiJled. ANO THAT
ALL HAPPENED!
In verse 13 Jesus said, "But he
that shall endure unto the end"–
of his lifetime- "shall be saved."
Then, verse 14, Jesus carne to
their
second
question about the
END of this world and Christ's
coming. Here
it
is. Read it twice:
"And this gospel"- the same
Gospel JEsus proclaimed- "of
the
Kingdom
shal l be preached in all
the world, for a witness unto all
nations, and
then
shall the end
come."
The Gospel of the KINGDOM, as
shown above, was suppressed by
mid-first century.
lt
was not pro–
claimed again worldwide until this
writer proclaimed it over the most
powerful station on earth, Radio
Luxembourg, first week in January,
1953- ACENTURY OF TIME CYCLES
SINCE ITWASSUPPRESSED! That was
one time cycle
after
it had been
proclaimed to all America!
But the
sign
J esus gave by
which it should be known that the
END of this world (this AGE) and
His coming in supreme POWER
and GLORY is near is the proclama–
tion of
"this
Gospel of the KING–
DOM"!
That time is now NEAR! Many
other prophecies describe world
events now occurring or about to
occur at the very END time!
But now,
WHAT
and
WHY
the
CHuRCH? People
assume
the exis–
tence of the Church as if churches
had always existed. They take for
granted that the "good" people go
to church on Sunday mornings to
hear beautiful music and a
12-
to-15-minute pleasing sermon.
But why did J esus Christ say, "1
will build my Church?" WHY, and
for what PURPOSE?
Ju&t as no religion knows WHO
or WHAT God is, WHAT and WHY
man is, WHY the nation of ancient
Israel or WHAT and WHY the Gos–
pel is, so it would seem no one
knows
WHA T
a nd
WHY
the
CHURCH is!
The surprising, eye-open ing
TRUTH will appear in the following

REFUGEE CRISIS
(Continued from page 21)
tween the two basic ways of life.
Accordingly, God cut all succeed–
ing generations of mankind off
from Him for 6,000 years, except
those whom He would call for an
express purpose.
Adam chose the wrong govern–
ment-Satan 's government-be–
cause rational, sound government
does not produce refugees as we
see today! People stay where they
are happy.
The basic government Adam
chose is still with us today! A
fasci nating and true account of
the nature of human government
may be found in your library or
bookstore in the book
The In–
credible H uman Potentia/
by
Herbert W. Armstrong, pub–
lished by Everest House.
Man's government is inherent–
ly unable to deal with the refugee
problem effectively because the
way of man is the cause of it! This
is not to speak disparagingly of
the efforts of thousands involved
in relief agencies.
lt
is to say that
the problem will never be re–
solved fully until the world–
ruling government of God takes
over. The task · is too big for
man.
Comlng-the Ultlmate Solution
The only complete answer, then,
is the restoration of God's govern–
ment and His way of life on this
ear th. Only then will any resolu–
tion of the plight of 1O miIlion
homeless people come about.
The exciting prediction of this
government can be found in the
pages of your Bible: " But in the
last days [the time we are in
now] it shall come to pass, that
the mountain [God's govern–
ment, Daniel 2:44-45] of the
house of the Lord shall be estab–
lished ... and He shall judge
among
many
people, and rebuke
strong nations afar off; and they
[every nation] shall beat their
swords into plowshares and their
spears into pruning hooks; nation
shall not lift up a sword against
nation, neither shall they learn
war any more" (Micah 4:1, 3).
Iron ically, part of this mes–
sage is boldly inscribed on a
marble slab by the United Na–
tions' building! Side by side with
the current ineffective world–
coalition government of sorts, it
mutely foretells of a time not
now long in coming when the
God of A braham, Isaac and
Jacob will return to set up a
government based on the laws of
the living God. O nce people
have been restored to their own
lands there won't be any refu–
gees under this government.
Can we imagine what a
c hanged world this will be?
People will rejoice in this gov–
ernment-a world populated by
happy men and women, with a
future so positive it would take
pages to describe it. In fact,
pages have been wri tten about it.

Refugees frorn this world's
troubles will be given a new
chance, an opportunity to learn
and have a fulfilling life. There
simply won't be a need of count–
less foundations and relief agen–
cies-there simply won't be any
war-torn lands to send relief to.
"Evil" will become a word used
in past-tense!
See here the wonderful relief
that will be provided refugees by
God! " ...when the favouring
hour comes [after God's govern–
ment is established],
1
[God] will
answer you, and aid you when the
day for rescue dawns, restoring
the ruined land, repeopling deso–
late places, bidding exiles leave
their prison and come forth to the
light ..." (lsaiah 49:8-9, Mof–
fatt).
And what wi ll happen when
the refugees are released?
" ... On the road home, food
shall never fail them, they shall
find pasture even upon bare hills;
they shall not hunger, neither
shall they thirst, never shall sun
or sirocco [a hot wind blowing
from the deserts] plague
them ..." ( lsaiah 49:9-1 O, Mof–
fatt) .
What an incredible future!
And it is
sure!
