AN ANIMATED
discussion between Professor Sanya Dharmasakti and Herbert Armstrong is filmed by the Ambas–
sador College television crew. That same day King Bhumibol of Thai/and had asked Professor Sanya to stay on as
prime minister.
After the audience had finished
singing the national anthem, Mr.
Gotoh opened with intrbductory re–
marks. Mrs. Marcos was introduced
as 1 rose to shake hands with her, to
loud applause. Then carne a short
but highly complimentary speech by
Dr. Angeles, followed by a most en–
thusiastic speech by Dr. Cruz, men–
tioning his recent visit to the
Ambassador College campus in Pas–
adena.
lt
was a prestigious in–
troduction.
lt
was 7:30 as l rose to speak (we
didn't get the program started until
7: 15). l spoke one hour.
1
had
planned, like my son Garner Ted's
personal appearances in the United
States and Canada, to have each
meeting run exactly an hour and a
half.
It
was a receptive, interested
adult audience of mostly upper and
middle class people. No one was
seen leaving until 1 concluded.
So the
first
public appearance
campaign in world capitals was un–
der way.
The 24,000-seat coliseum is the
largcst and best air-conditioned in-
PLAIN TRUTH August 1974
door place for public crowds
in
the
Philippines. Attendance grew each
night.
Though it may be little realized,
Jesus Christ was a messenger sent
from God the Father with a mes–
sage of tremendous news to man–
kind (see Malachi 3:1, and Mark
1:1,
14- 15). Actually it was an
ADVANCE ANNOUNCEMENT
of the
coming Kingdom of God. Not un–
derstanding what he plainly said -
and aJso what is plainly written
in
the Bible - concerning the King–
dom of God. the world as a whole
lost his message. And after the
latter part of the first century it
was not proclaimed to the world un–
til now.
That message, clearly understood,
shows that the government of God
once was administered on the earth.
When the earth was ruled by that
government,
WORLD PEACE
with
happiness and joy fiUed the earth.
How that government was taken
from the earth and how it
wi/1
be
restored in our time is the message
1 covered in sorne detail in that
Manila public appearance campaign.
World-famous scientists and lead–
ers, today, say that the world's only
hope of avoiding the erasure of al!
human life from the earth-the only
SOLUTION
to the world's number one
problem now. the question of
SUR–
VIVAL,
is the formation of a single,
all-powerful world government rul–
ing with force over
ALL NATIONS.
And
that
is precisely the message -
the good news - that Jesus Christ
brought to this earth. That is the
message the world didn't under–
stand; and because it didn't under–
stand it, the world
REJECTED IT!
God's time has come. in this end
time, just shortly before the govern–
ment of God is once again
RE–
STORED
to the earth under the total
supernatural power of the Creator
God, when God has decreed
THIS
MESSAGE -
this gospel of the King–
dom of God - shall be proclaimed
in al! the world for a witness to al!
nations in general (see Matthew
24:14 with Mark 16: 15-16).
Tt's a message of love - and of
peace.
