without God's Holy Spirit, is con–
fined to physical a nd mechanical
things. His systems of education
have become wholly materialistic.
and all his motives have been based
on the atti1ude of "get." He cannot
live in harmony and peace with his
neighbor. He is missing totally the
greatest possible blessing during
human life: a CLOSENESS with his
Maker and his God. the warmth,
sa tisfying PEACE. and ASSUREOSECU·
RITY of contact with God. That is
why the human race as a whole is
discontented , unhappy, harboring
feelings of insecurity, suspicion and
frustration .

As l have indicated, God called
only "righteous Abel" (Matt.
23:35),
Enoch and Noah to have contact
with Him and receive His Holy
Spirit during approximately the first
1900 years. He specially called
Abraham. Isaac. Jacob and Joseph.
He made the slave descendants of
Abraham a special nation. called
Israel, but never otfered them spiri–
tual salvation or His Holy Spirit.
From then to Chris t, on ly the
prophets were given His Holy Spirit.
in order to empower them for THE
WORK He called them todo. almost
altogether wi thin Israel.
More 1han 1.900 years ago, he
sent Christ, bul of the unnumbered
thousands who

He called and instructed His
apostles 10 announce His gospel. but
that gospel was
suppressed
and re–
placed before A.D. 70 with a false
one which denied His Kingdom. He

Church underground, as it were.
From then the true gospel was not

Today God is adding to the

gives us of His Church His Holy

Jesus' disciples asked Him wha l

A few verses la ter Jesus said: "For

such as was not si nce the beginning

should be shortened, there should
no flesh be saved [aüve]: but for the
