in Prophecy!

YOUR own future is laid bare, now,
in prophecy! The curtain of the future is drawn back.
Prophecies that were closed and sealed tight
now stand REVEALED. This mystifying, neglected third of the Bible now becomes
plain. Mysteries of God, never before understood, now become crystal-clear.
God's own time for this revealing has come. The KEYS that locked the future
have been found.
But what is actually going to happen is
not what the world expects!
Today this world is changing - fast!
Unprecedented events are shaking the world already. Yet what we have seen is
mild compared to the catastrophic happenings that will rock this world in the
near future!
You'll have to live into these tremendous
times. This is YOUR life! You live here, in this erupting world! It behooves
you to know what the Creator-RULER of the Universe now makes known!
PUSH-BUTTON LEISURE?
First, take a quick look at the world MAN
envisions!
Feverishly, science, technology and industry
are working to produce a fantastic, push-button world of leisure by 1975. The
emphasis today is on "saving steps." Everything is to be done for us,
by machines. Just push the magic button, and your work will be done
automatically.
Already automobiles are equipped with
push-buttons to shift the gears, raise or lower windows, move the seat forward,
backward, up or down.
In the dream-world MAN is devising for
tomorrow, it will no longer be necessary to cook food on stoves. Food is to be
cooked by heat waves in packages. You'll no longer bother taking a bath in a
tub or shower. You'll take an effortless and quicker waterless bath by
using supersonic waves! When you pick up your telephone, you'll see the
party at the other end! The new automobiles, the new homes, the new schools are
to be truly fantastic. The stores, hotels, and railroad trains will take your
breath!
And air travel? Well, already leading air
lines have placed multi-million dollar orders for still larger jet planes
...that will leave New York at 11 in the morning and arrive at Los Angeles by
noon. These are under production, now. But what do you suppose air travel will
be like by 1975?
For one thing, it is expected that many
people will commute in their own private helicopters. Very probably these
immense jets now being built will then be obsolete, and we'll travel in rockets
at two or three thousand miles per hour. Think of it! Elapsed flying-time, New
York to Los Angeles reduced to one hour! Since it is only 9 A.M. in Los Angeles
when it's noon in New York, we may be flying across the continent, and arriving
in Los Angeles two hours before we start! And elapsed flying-time from
London to New York will be reduced to 11/2 hours! As it is noon in London when
it's only 7 A.M. in New York, we may be flying across the Atlantic and arriving
in New York 31/2 hours before we start!
Yes, MAN is devising fantastic things!
Once again, as at the tower of Babel, God is
saying: "Behold . . . this they begin to do: and now nothing
will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do: Come, let us go
down and shorten these days, lest no flesh should be saved alive!"
(Compare Gen.11:6-7 and Mat. 24:21-22.)
But is it PROGRESS?
Yet even our optimistic human forecasters see
a few alarming portents in this march of supposed "progress." The
magazine Changing Times, in an article on the push-button world of
tomorrow, says: "Leisure time will be abundant. The problem will be what
to do with it." And that's the kind of problem that leads to broken
homes, immorality, crime, universal violence!
The October, 1955, Coronet,
forecasting the world of only ten years ahead, added that one child
in ten will spend time in a mental institution! While this magazine said
"the sun will heat your house; a jet engine will power your two cars, and
atomic radiation will preserve food in a kitchen that disappears," it also
forecasted: "Juvenile delinquency and marital infidelity will increase,
and one in every three marriages will end in divorce."
But don't misunderstand! No question about
it-these fantastic devices actually are on the way. We'll probably have
most of them! But is that GOOD?
Will people know how rightly to use
this leisure time? Actually this very man-devised "blessing" will
become man's fatal CURSE! The preachers picture a "heaven" of
idleness and ease. This state of things is the phantom "utopia" of
man's dreams. Science and industry now strive to produce it on earth without
God!
But what they are producing is a western
world of soft degenerates, immoral, irresponsible, sick of mind and diseased of
body, while at the same time the forces of government and science combine to produce
engines of destruction that can blast human life from off this planet! We are
entering also the era of push-button warfare! The fateful race between
Russia and the U.S.A. for producing guided missiles with hydrogen-bomb warheads
is now on the home stretch!
Just how far will God Almighty permit
this hellish trend to drift? WHAT Is REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN?
First, before we begin the SUMMARY of ALL
PROPHECY, hear the GOOD NEWS!
GOOD NEWS FIRST
I'm going to do the unconventional thing, and
even before I tell you the story, reveal to you how it all comes out! I
don't think, in this instance, it will spoil the story to hear it's ending
first.
In the end, we are really going to have world
peace! We are going to have actual UTOPIA - far beyond the dreams of today's
world-planners!
It will not be a millennium of man's devising,
however. It will not be a world of idleness and ease-but one of production,
plenty, health and happiness.
This
scene of utter destruction - the grim, lifeless result of misused human
inventions - would
take place but for God's promised intervention to save man from this
terrifying end.
MAN does not know the WAY to peace and
happiness and joy. What man is bringing on the world is the diametric
opposite-such catastrophic and terrifying destruction that human life will be
erased from the earth in 25 years unless God Almighty intervenes!
But the Creator and Director of all force and
energy is going to intervene! Mankind has some monumental lessons
to learn. So far, mankind has merely written these lessons in human experience,
while he has refused to learn them.
But God Almighty is working out His PURPOSE
here below! We are entering the very CRISIS at the CLOSE of the allotted
6000-year period for working out that purpose. Now, in short order, in
constantly accelerating swiftness, events will speed up, and mankind is going
to be FORCED, by the supernatural power of God, to learn the supreme lesson of
the ages-that God's laws and ways were set in motion for our good, and that the
Eternal is RULER over all!
Yes, the supreme crisis of the ages is upon
us. Today we're in the cold-war lull before the real storm breaks in imagination-defying
fury. Then, suddenly, God will step in and take over! He will speedily punish
this world for its iniquity! The divine WRATH will quickly subdue a defiant
world that has reached the end of its rope! Supernatural intervention will
prevent humankind from committing suicide. God will send Jesus Christ once
again, in person, to earth in all the supreme POWER and GLORY of the
RULER OF THE UNIVERSE!
And the misguided humans of earth will be
ushered into an unbelievable UTOPIA of GOD'S making-and delivered, at last,
from their own folly!
Now Here's YOUR Future
But where are we, NOW, in the panorama
of prophecy - fulfillment? And what's the very next thing to happen?
Are we now being sucked into the vortex of a
hydrogen-bomb war with Russia? That's the inevitable first question.
The answer is that no such war is included in
the many prophecies that fill a third of your Bible. It hardly seems possible
that the hundreds of detailed prophecies would omit all mention of such a war,
if it were going to occur.
Actually, in a different sense, Russia
Started World War III, Russian-Style, immediately after World War II But
that war is a psychological warfare of propaganda, infiltration,
subversion, demoralization. It is a warfare that has attacked our minds, our
moral and spiritual values, rather than our bodies and our earthly possessions.
Almost no one has realized it, but that war
is described in the prophecies!
What Communism Really Is
What we fail to grasp, in the struggle with
Russia, is this: We are not fighting a single nation in a military war, but a
gigantic world - wide plain - clothes army, masquerading as a political
party, seeking to conquer the world with an entirely new kind of
warfare!
It's a kind of warfare we don't understand,
or know how to cope with. It uses every diabolical means to weaken us from
within, sapping our strength, perverting our morals, sabotaging our
educational system, wrecking our social structure, destroying our spiritual and
religious life, weakening our industrial and economic power, demoralizing our
armed forces, and finally, after such infiltration, overthrowing our government
by force and violence! All this, cleverly disguised as a harmless political
party! COMMUNISM is world - wide psychological WARFARE!
Yes, but God Almighty says of this satanic
system: "I am against thee!" (Ezekiel 38:3). Eventually, He
will destroy it and it an its evil system from the face of the earth.
But of us, prophecy says that we allow
ourselves "to be mixed up with foreigners: . . . foreigners eat away his
strength, unknown to him." God says we fly, like a silly, senseless dove,
to seek alliances with foreign nations, forsaking God. (Hosea 7:8-13, Moffatt,
translation).
But the prophecy reveals no military war
between Russia and our democratic nations. The prophecy of Ezekiel 38 describes
a much later event.
Meanwhile, however, Russia is exerting a
tremendous influence over trends in Europe. All Europe is directly under the
shadow of the Russian Bear. Suppose that your nearest border were the dread
"Iron Curtain" with the millions of Russian troops massed just across
that line. You would be thrown into a state of fear.
Most Europeans are becoming distrustful of
the United States. They wonder why we had the Marshall Plan. WHY are we
so beneficent? WHY are we sending them so much money? They can't understand
altruism and generosity. They suspect ulterior motives. They are thinking more
and more about the coming UNITED STATES OF EUROPE!
We Americans, with the British, gave them the
idea. We've tried to organize the European nations together against Russia.
They are going to unite against us! And now Europe is about ready
for it! The stage is all set! All that's lacking now is the strong LEADER - the
coming FUEHRER! The Germans are coming back from the destruction of
World War II in breath-taking manner. Germany is the economic and military
heart of Europe. Probably Germany will lead and dominate the coming United
States of Europe.
But Britain will be no part of it!
This astounding resurrection of the ROMAN
EMPIRE is the very NEXT prophesied event. The world will be dumbfounded when
this military colossus actually emerges.
Under Cover in Europe
While America has been focusing its sole
attention on its clumsy effort to meet psychological cold-war with antiquated
diplomacy and military might, the real number one enemy has been perfecting its
plans SECRETLY, UNDER COVER, IN EUROPE!
These plans were laid by Adolph Hitler,
during World War II. The methodical Germans took into consideration the
possibility they might lose, even as they had lost World War I. This time their
plans for coming back and launching World War III were carefully laid before
the close of World War II.
The day that war ended, the Nazi
organization went underground! Their plans for coming back have been
proceeding, under cover, since 1945!
Already Nazis are in many key positions-in
German industry - in German education-in the new German ARMY!
The new Germany REBUILDS! These two bridge
supports were built in downtown Dusseldorf, Germany, to allow city planners
time to decide which type of construction was most desirable for the Rhine
River Bridge. Notice MODERN apartment building -- a common sight inthe NEW
Germany.
In World War I, the Kaiser, allied with
Austria, sought to conquer France, Britain and America. American Industry
finally beat him. In World War II, Hitler tried to conquer the world, first by
taking Austria and the Sudetenland thru diplomatic gangsterism; then second,
with lightning-quick war, taking Poland, Denmark and Norway, Holland, Belgium
and France; and third, while holding these nations by the throat with his
Gestapo, and allied with his junior partner Mussolini, to conquer Russia on the
east and Britain on the west. But again, American Industry, three Acts of God,
at Dunkirk, El Alamein, and the destruction of the German hydrogen-bomb plant
at Peenemuende defeated Hitler.
But this time the Nazis plan to side
step the causes of past defeats. Instead of exhausting their own strength by
holding European nations as captives at the expense of vital Gestapo man-power,
they plan to head and dominate a UNITED STATES OF EUROPE-and add the man-power
of those nations to their own military divisions.
Here is an example of German ingenuity. The
new track-laying machine being used between Neustadt-Holstine and Bad
Schwarten, Germany, can lay 820 yards if railway track in about eight hours!
The device also deposits the rails on the heavy ties after they have been laid.
A unit of the newly begun West German
Army. Notice the American uniforms and the old German rifles, soon to be
replaced by American guns.
Andsecondly, they plan to strike their
first blow, NOT at France or Poland in Europe, but with hydrogen bombs
by surprise attack on the centers of AMERICAN INDUSTRY!
Yes, This is PROPHESIED!
You think all this fantastic?
Well, LISTEN, and LISTEN CAREFULLY! Because
these very Nazi plans which have leaked out from underground and have been
published were known to God Almighty and recorded by Him in His
prophecies 2,500 years ago!
You'll find this prophesied in Daniel 2 and
7, and more specifically in the 17th chapter of Revelation, -a UNITED STATES OF
EUROPE-a flash in-the-pan resurrection of the ancient ROMAN EMPIRE!
It will possess greater military might by far
than the Rome of old, but it will also inherit fatal weaknesses. Prophecy
symbolizes this admixture of never - equaled military might and unprecedented
weakness with the apt phrase, mixed with miry clay." The European nations
will unite militarily - but they are suspicious and envious of each other -
they hate one another.
This time the Germans are coming back from
defeat faster and more effectively than they did after World War I. The
comeback they are making is phenomenal - faster than any other European nation
- faster than we think
A spokesman of the "Stahlhelm"
(Steel Helmet), the German War Veterans Organization, speaks on German
rearmament. Notice war banner of the old German Empire behind the speakers.
Germany wants her pre-World War 1 colonies back.
While Americans bask lazily in the
stultifying sunshine of prosperity, our hearts set on push-buttons, shorter
hours, less work, more leisure, vacations and travel, I have seen the swarms of
Germans walking briskly, briefcases in hand, to their day's work between 5:30
and 6:30 in the mornings, down the streets of Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Essen.
While our prime objective seems to be idleness, ease and luxury, the
German mind and heart and interest appears set on just one thing-hard,
energetic WORK that will yet put "Deutschland Ueber Alles!" -
"Germany Over All!"
Incidentally, I am writing these words on a
German-made typewriter-because it is a better and sounder-made machine than any
American portable The American way, seems to be not how GOOD, but how cheaply and
quickly can we slap things together, and how MUCH can we GET for it? If
American industrial strength beat the Germans twice, present German hard work
and INDUSTRY is assuredly going to beat us-unless we WAKE UP to what's actually
happening, which we won't.
Germans Pioneered Nuclear Development
And again incidentally, I wonder if
you realize that the Nazis were working on the Hydrogen Bomb before the
end of World War II? They had it very near completion. We didn't know then that
it was the hydrogen bomb, but we did know the Germans were on the verge of
completing some terrifying new weapon which, if perfected in time, could have
turned apparent defeat at the 11th hour into unbelievable victory for the
Nazis.
During the latter months of the war, the
central theme of my American broadcasts was that "RACE AGAINST TIME."
It was only a chance lucky hit (or was it Providential?) by an American bomber
that destroyed this hydrogen development, and enabled the allies to win. German
nuclear scientists are the world's pioneers in this field.
When this United States of Europe emerges, they
will have the hydrogen bomb, and the guided missiles to project it with
pin-point accuracy on every vital American and British production Center!
Today the stage is all set! At a certain
moment, the new LEADER of this European combine will appear suddenly in the
public eye. He's already behind the scenes-in action! But the world does not
yet recognize him! He still works under cover.
Perhaps even this coming military-political
leader does not yet know how many, or precisely which European
nations will join in this United Nazi
Members of the German Steel Helmet (Stahlhelm)
organization of veterans and pro- military youths meet in West Berlin amidst
German flags and colorful military emblems.
Fascist Europe. But you and I can know the
number-for God Almighty wrote it down for us 1900 years ago, in Revelation 17!
There will be ten Dictatorships, exerting iron rule over ten European nations.
These e TEN will give all their military power to the central over-all
LEADER-pictured under the prophetic symbol, "The BEAST."
The prophecy does Not reveal exactly which
ten nations will be included-but this resurrected Roman Empire will bind
together some 250 to 300 millions of peoples! That is more manpower than
Russia, or the United States has.
The strong indication of these prophecies,
then, is that some of the Balkan nations are going to tear away from behind the
iron Curtain. Russia has lost already, to all appearances, Tito's Yugoslavia
Russia probably will lose still more of her Eastern European satellites. But
Communism, prophecy indicates, will continue to make gains in the East-Probably
in Indo-china, Malaya, Japan, India. For more than ears I have been telling the
radio audiences that Communism will engulf and control the manpower of the
yellow races by the time of the swift-approaching crisis of world
upheaval.
Also, I have warned the radio audiences to
watch TITO. Of course, Tito is not identified personally in prophecy-nor is any
other man. Only the major EVENTS are revealed. But I have pointed out that the difference
between Communism and Nazism is simply that one is national socialism,
the other international socialism. The term "Nazi is merely a
contraction of the two words "national socialism." On the
other hand what the Communists have set up is called the "UNION of Soviet Socialist
Republics." The Kremlin fosters international socialism, while Tito stands
for National Socialism. That just about makes Tito a NAZI!
I have even suggested the possibility
that Tito might be the man to lead the new Nazi-Fascist Europe-though that
possibility has appeared most slight. Remember again, prophecy does not
identity the MAN. More probably he will be a German. We shall not have to wait
much longer to know! IT'S LATER THAN YOU THINK!
Drastic WEATHER Changes
While this coming Nazi-Fascist Colossus is
developing underground, an alarming revolution is beginning to occur in the weather
Hurricanes, floods, seasonal droughts are fast in creasing.
And now, the very next prophesied
event-to strike in the full fury of its climax before our democratic
nations are invaded by the resurrected Roman Empire - is a tremendous universal
FAMINE over America, Britain, and northwestern Europe caused by unprecedented
drought and floods. And immediately in its wake will come the most frightful
epidemic of diseases ever to attack our peoples!
Jesus Christ foretold it in His great Olivet
prophecy: "For," He said, "nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom" - that's WORLD WAR! -and we are now m the recess
between the 2nd and 3rd rounds of it - "Then there shall be
famines,"-that's the next major world-event now prophesied, "and
pestilence's - disease epidemics, "and earthquakes in different
places." (Mat. 24: 7). Already there is a violent increase in frequency of
earthquakes, all over the world.
"All these," Jesus continued, verse
8, "are the beginning of sorrows"-(marginal reading,
"travail," or the Great Tribulation)
While modern science and industry strive to
prepare for us a push-button leisure-luxury-world by 1975, United States
Assistant Weather Chief I. R. Tannahill warns us unofficially to really fear "the
big drought of 1975." But the indications of prophecy are that this
drought will be even more devastating than he foresees, and that it will
strike sooner than 1975-probably between 1965 and 1972!
This will be the very beginning, as
Jesus said, of the Great Tribulation!
Stricken
cattle already search with bewildered, hungry eyes for non-existent food as the
prophesied terrible drought continues to spread in America and Australia.
Jeremiah's prophecy is more specific.
It is the beginning of the NATIONAL trouble to come on America, the British
nations, and the democracies of northwestern Europe! And, as both Jeremiah and
Jesus Christ were inspired to record-and also the prophet Daniel-it will be the
MOST CATASTROPHIC time of national trouble that has ever struck any nation, or
ever will!
Still more specific is the prophecy of
Ezekiel.
Here is exactly how catastrophic it
will be: ONE THIRD OF OUR ENTIRE POPULATIONS will DIE in this famine and
disease epidemic!
Read it, in Ezekiel 5:12: "A third part
of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with the famine shall they be
consumed in the midst of thee."
At the outset of this article I stated that
the KEYS that had kept prophetic doors locked and closed from human understanding
have now been found-or, more properly, been given to us by COD. The
Church denominations do not possess these keys, for they will not
receive correction from the word of Cod, nor acknowledge error nor receive new
light. What they did not possess and proclaim 50 or 100 years ago, they do not
acknowledge today. But if you do not yet understand that the "thee"
of whom God thru Ezekiel is here speaking - is our democratic nations,
as set forth and plainly PROVED in our free booklet (sent on request) "United
States and British Commonwealth in Prophecy," then just remember that we
are GUILTY of the very things that the people it does refer to are guilty of
- and GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSON; so these things ARE GOING TO HAPPEN TO US,
UNLESS WE NEED AND REPENT
The details of the Great Drought soon coming
upon us are described in the first chapter of Joel. It's a frightful, desolate
picture of starvation and disease!
Then, WORLD WAR III
But all these things, as Jesus explained, are
to be only the BEGINNING of our time of national trouble.
Once we are weakened by starvation, disease,
and the resulting calamitous economic depression, the Ten-Nation European
Colossus will suddenly STRIKE with hydrogen bombs that shall DESTROY OUR CITIES
and our centers of industrial and military production!
The very next words of Jesus' prophecy (Mat.
24:9, 21-22) are: "Then"-not five years or a generation later,
but "THEN" shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill
you: and ye shall be hated of all nations; . .. and then shall be GREAT
TRIBULATION such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time no,
nor ever shall be. And except those days [of mass death and destruction] should
be shortened, there should no flesh be saved alive, but for the elect's sake
those days shall be shortened." Yes, by the supernatural intervention of
GOD, before all human life is blasted from off the earth!
Jesus was there speaking of our peoples
nationally, as well as of real Spirit-begotten Christians individually.
Thirsty
and starving cattle, unable to forage, will finally drop of exhaustion and die
on the parched, drought-stricken ground.
But Ezekiel's prophecy adds this specific and
terrifying fact: "And a third part"- HALF our remaining
population" shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a
third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after
them." "
The German - dominated European combine will
blast our cities and industrial centers with hydrogen bombs. This is foretold
in many prophecies, but here is one that shows the effect that only the
hydrogen bomb can produce - the very next chapter of Ezekiel:
"In all your dwelling places, the
cities shall be laid waste." (Ezek. 6:6). A few German cities were
virtually laid waste in World War II. But not until the production of the
hydrogen bomb has it ever been possible for an enemy to totally destroy all our
cities!
Our Great National Calamity
Yes, W A K E UP! America and Britain! You
have grown callused and indifferent to world revolution, world wars and cold
wars and the threat of hydrogen-bomb war.
You Americans and British! You smug, proud,
and stiff - necked complacent people! You enjoy a prosperity God never lavished
on any other people-you heedlessly permit yourselves to become soft and
decadent, setting your foolish hearts on a lush, push-button, prosperity of
leisure. You ignore that entire prophetic THIRD of GOD'S WORD, warning you of
impending disaster and offering you divine protection from it!
Will any one of you who now read this warning
awaken to the stern reality?
GOD ALMIGHTY now reveals, in time to prevent
it, that one third of all our people will soon die of starvation and
disease-that our day of reckoning is upon us-that we are to be stripped of our
wealth and prosperity on which we set our hearts-that a second third of
our people-of your personal friends, relatives, acquaintances -will be
killed by the awesome hydrogen-bomb invasion-that our proud United States and
British Commonwealth are now destined to be suddenly crushed in defeat!
-that the remaining third left alive are to be carried as captives, scattered
over the land of our enemies and their allies AS ABJECT SLAVES!-and that even
millions of them shall then be tortured inhumanly in organized religious
persecution, until their breath expires in martyrdom!
Jesus Christ said, "Ye shall be HATED of
ALL NATIONS ... Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall KILL
YOU."
Do you foolishly and carelessly assume He
meant somebody else? Our booklet "U.S. and Britain in PROPHECY"
proves He meant US. We are the nations that are HATED by all other nations
today-or hadn't you realized that alarming fact?
Jesus Christ meant US-and His words are as
certain and sure as the rising and setting of the sun!
Luke's inspired account of Jesus' words makes
it even more specific: "For these be the days of vengeance, that all
things which are written may be fulfilled"-that is, when the prophetic
things of your Bible come to their CLIMAX, and all prophecies are suddenly and
rapidly fulfilled at this END-TIME! "And they"-speaking of our
nations, "shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away
captive into all nations." (Luke 21:22, 24). This prophecy refers only typically
to the Jewish captivity of 70 A.D. It refers primarily to OUR future.
Jeremiah was inspired by the Almighty to
picture this invasion, defeat and captivity and to explain WHY it's coming!
WHY We Shall be Punished
In the 30th chapter, God reveals to Jeremiah
that the TIME of the prophecy is the time of world WAR, climaxing in the
coming EXODUS of both our peoples and the Jews back to Palestine at the
second coming of Christ. It is the most terrible time of trouble and war of
all history (verses 3-4), the time of OUR NATIONAL TROUBLE (verse5).
During the coming famines and disease
epidemics, and during the Great Tribulation, with its fiendish tortures, people
will die so rapidly that mass burials will take place. Here you see thousands
of bodies being buried in a ravine.
We are to get into it - the most terrible
national trouble ever to befall any nation-but God will deliver us out of it,
and will finally break the YOKE of slavery from off our necks (verses 5-6).
But WHY? Are we not Christian
countries?
So we vainly assure ourselves-but the
prophecies of Jesus and of Paul reveal that we are DECEIVED into a counterfeit
"Christianity" - our lands filled with MANY false ministers, coming
IN THE NAME OF CHRIST, calling their religion "Christ." Jesus warned
that when we worship Him by following traditions inherited from the pagans
(such as Christmas, Easter, "faith with out works," etc.) that we
worship him IN VAIN
Jeremiah gives the REASON: "I have
wounded thee," says God, "with the wound of an enemy, . . . for
the multitude of thine iniquity: BECAUSE THY SINS WERE INCREASED."
And, "I will correct thee in measure" (by this famine, disease, war,
captivity and slavery) "and will not leave thee altogether
unpunished."
Why? Because God revealed to Adam that He has
set LAWS IN motion that produce happiness, joy, health and prosperity IF
we obey them; but which bring on us curses and separation from God and His
blessings, if we transgress.
Listeners behind the Iron Curtain watch
fearfully for intruders during "World Tomorrow" broadcast, God's
last-minute warning. Because of our sins a famine of hearing the Word of God is
soon to come!
God made man a free moral agent, and
commanded him to CHOOSE. Adam chose a WAY of living opposite to the way of
God's inexorable LAWS. God sent Jesus Christ to reveal THE WAY of God, and to
set us a living example in that way. But men crucified Him, then later
appropriated His NAME, began proclaiming His deity, exalting His PERSON, while
they DECEIVED the world and kept it in darkness estranged from God by rejecting
His Gospel, and instead, adopting the pagan philosophies, beliefs, customs and
ways that have characterized this (Satan's) world from the beginning.
Today what is called organized
"Christianity" appropriates the NAME of Christ - exalts His PERSON
-worships Him- but continues to DENY HIS MESSAGE, and to rebel against God's
laws!
Can't you see what this has brought
upon humanity? Sickness and disease; fear and worry; inequality and injustice;
war and fear of war; heartache, anguish, emptiness!
Man's inhumanity to man!
It's all the result of the ways of vanity,
pride, selfishness, greed! Man's horizons have shriveled and shrunken and
become centered on his SELF. Life becomes a bore, so he invents pleasures,
amusements to pass the time away! He organizes for wars of conquest. He invents
engines of destruction that soon would blast all life from off this planet, if
God would not prevent it.
Would God show LOVE to this world by
permitting this tragic state of affairs to continue? God allotted 6,000 years
for HUMAN NATURE, automatically hostile to God and God's laws, to write the
lesson of the vain, self-centered, getting way of life - the WAY that
appears so alluring and attractive to fallible human minds! But God does LOVE
this suffering world! God informed Adam-He sent His prophets to reveal HIS
ways-He sent His Son-He has been sending His true ministers. God has pleaded
with humanity for nearly 6,000 long years-with WORDS! But man persists in
rejecting preaching's and warnings.
Annihilation of All Life?
And now, at last, man has arrived at a period
where he is learning the secrets of the forces of the universe! Thru science,
technology and machine-industry, man is now harnessing the very forces and
energies of nature! But he puts atomic energy to the work of mass DESTRUCTION.
He now works feverishly, fanatically, concentrating the world's most scientific
minds on developing hydrogen bombs, guided missiles, cobalt bombs, and other
means of mass destruction.
AT LAST man approaches not only a
luxury, push-button, LEISURE age but also the age of push-button mass
DESTRUCTION. World-renowned scientists, who know, warn us that it is now
possible to annihilate human life from off this planet!
Can a God who LOVES THIS WORLD stand idly by,
and permit man not only to destroy his health and happiness, but now also to
destroy all earthly LIFE?
GOD FORBID! God is a God of LOVE, and also a
God of wisdom and justice, who says He punishes every son He LOVES!
(Hebrews 12:6).
The PUNISHMENT is to teach us the lessons of
life. Man has written the lesson thru 6,000 unhappy years of emptiness,
sickness, suffering and DEATH-written it in human blood and anguish! But he has
never yet learned the lesson. Man still clings desperately to the notion
that somehow he can yet solve all his problems and reach out and TAKE happiness
HIS OWN WAY!
Man refuses to learn the truth! He
will not listen to God's preaching! He would persist to the bitter end to the
annihilation of all human life, if God did not step in and intervene!
There is only ONE LANGUAGE that rebellious
mankind will heed-physical punishment, and being deprived of physical
assets. Very few individuals ever came to God thru Jesus Christ in
unconditional surrender until God had punished them by physical adversity.
Neither will OUR NATIONS - and neither will the world as a whole come to God in
any other way.
Terrifying - Yet GOOD NEWS!
And so now God is about to punish! First, He
will punish our nations-professing Christians - His own chosen people, chosen
for a service they have refused to perform! Then, after WE have learned our
lesson and turned to our God, He will punish the nations He shall have used in
punishing us.
God says, "The Eternal hath a
controversy with the nations, He will PLEAD with all flesh;"- HOW?
- "He will give them that are wicked to the sword... evil shall go
forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind (of war) shall be raised up
from the coasts of the earth. And the slain of the Eternal shall be at that day
from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth." (Jer.
25:31-33).
Yes, paradoxical though it may seem, THIS
TERRIFYING NEWS ACTUALLY IS GOOD NEWS! -for this impending punishment is the only
way a mankind of free choice can ever be brought to LEARN the lesson-to
ace-knowledge that GOD'S LAWS were set in motion for OUR GOOD - to be brought
voluntarily to CHOOSE the ways of God which at last will bring undreamed of
UTOPIA!
Yes, THE KINGDOM OF GOD is now NEAR AT HAND!
And that is the best news since the first man drew the first breath!
There is one reason and one only, for
the never-equaled national calamity that is destined soon to strike America and
Britain. In NO OTHER WAY will mankind ever really LEARN the lesson he has so
tragically written in human blood and suffering. God has decreed that we,
ourselves, must choose whether to accept HIS divine rule over us
with His inexorable laws, or whether to reject God's WAY, and follow the ways
and customs that human nature devised and established in this
Satan-swayed world And God will not FORGE humanity to walk His way. Man MUST
first LEARN his lesson, and then make his own right choice!
But again, I repeat- IT'S LATER THAN YOU
THINK!
Yes, time is running out on us, last, and
we're too sound asleep in deception to realize it!
Our peoples will continue only a few more
years in comparative economic prosperity. This very prosperity is our fatal
curse! -because our people are setting their hearts on it, seeking ease and
leisure, becoming soft and decadent and WEAK!
We're GOING THE WAY OF ANCIENT ROME-to a greater
fall, because we're bigger and more prosperous, and have farther to
fall!
Then, suddenly, before we realize it, we'll
find ourselves in the throes of FAMINE, and uncontrollable epidemics of
DISEASE. Already we're in the beginning of a terrible famine and we don't know
it- a famine of needed minerals and vitamins in our foods. Our peoples have
ignored God's agricultural laws. Not all the land has been permitted to rest
every seventh year. The land has been overworked. Today, the soil is worn out.
And food factories, in the interest of larger profits, are removing much of
what minerals and vitamins remain-while a new profit-making vitamin industry
deludes the people into believing they can obtain these precious elements from
pills and capsules purchased in drug stores and "health food" stores!
And all this state of affairs because man
is in defiance of his Maker!
Along with the coming famine and disease epidemic
will come an invasion of billions of crop-destroying bugs, insects, and locusts
(grasshoppers) on a scale never before to devastate a land. You'll read of this
in the first chapter of Joel.
Anxious laborers after World War II line the
streets of London, displaying placards against the unemployment. One sign
reads, "We don't want the dole, we want work." This is going to
happen again on a nation-wide scale amid starvation and raging epidemics.
World War Resumed!
All this is now only a few years off. WHEN we
are stricken with the greatest national tragedy event to befall a nation-people
dying in nearly every home-your loved ones-perhaps your children,
or your parents, and scores of your close friends - perhaps even
YOURSELF dying in this calamity, and the nation's economic prosperity suddenly
tail-spinning into its lowest ebb of depression, then the Nazi-Fascist colossus
will strike its hydrogen-bomb blows-and another third of our populations
will be killed-our major cities and industrial centers destroyed.
Only one in three of your friends-of your
loved ones-will remain alive -UNLESS they heed the warning and come under God's
divine protection according to HIS conditions!
And remember! Every individual will then stand on his own feet
before God. YOU cannot secure the protection of your loved ones. Nor can the
prayers, the godliness or righteousness of any friend or loved one save you.
Each individual must come to real repentance, total and unconditional surrender
to GOD'S will, and His Word and its authority, through Christ as personal
Savior, in order to have the proffered divine protection from these impending
catastrophes. See Ezek. 14:12-14; and Jer. 31:29-30.
I know this is not pleasant to
contemplate! I know well, too, that it won't be believed by more than a few. I
know only too well that our proud and stiff-necked nations will heedlessly
refuse to take WARNING! But also I know that these prophecies are as certain
as tomorrow's sun-unless our nations do heed God's warnings, repent and
turn from their established ways and customs and return to ALMIGHTY GOD and HIS
LAWS and WAYS!
And, knowing that such an unbelievable catastrophe
is soon to strike, I HAVE TO WARN YOU! You can read what God says to me in
Ezekiel 33:1-6.
THINK OF IT! Unbelievable? Preposterous? No,
IT'S Real--very soon,--of this very present generation-of all people you know
now-ONLY ONE THIRD of them will be left alive!
Americans-Britons-Made SLAVES
And that surviving third will be up-rooted
from their homes-transported like cattle as slaves to Europe, and
probably some to South America (the Germans are fast gaining dominance and
control in South America).
There they shall not only be forced under
lashes of cruel taskmasters to do the work of slaves-but they will be forced to
give up whatever belief they may have in real BIBLE Christianity! They
will be literally forced to accept the idolatrous PAGAN beliefs and
customs that masquerade as Christianity, or state police will arrest them, and
they will be TORTURED inhumanly until they either give in, or die in martyrdom!
Yes, millions of lukewarm inactive professing
Christians will suffer MARTYRDOM-and that before the anticipated
push-button leisure-year of 1975 dawns upon us! You'll read of this
martyrdom-the Great Tribulation-in Mat. 24:9-10; Rev 17:6; 6: 9-11 ;12:11, and
in many other verses.
A rally of unemployed at Madison Square Park
in New York . The sign above speaker's stand proclaims "Jobs for all - at
decent pay." This typical scene will soon become wide spread throughout
western world. Economic ruin is coming!
This coming Great Tribulation is not the
Wrath of God upon the world's wicked-it is the wrath of Satan the devil upon
Christians, and upon the democratic nations (Rev. 12: 12-13). Millions of
repenting SAINTS will be IN it' and the very objects of it-because it is for their
sake that God will intervene to CUT SHORT that hellish time of torture (Mat 24
22). This well know, is not the popular orthodox teaching of a
"Christianity" that is a part of THIS WORLD and has LOST the PURPOSE
and the PLAN of God. But this is GOD'S TRUTH, straight and direct to YOU!
This is the impending time of SUPREME TROUBLE
for Americans and Britons, and for all true Christians who are not watching,
praying constantly and so yielded to God's Will that they shall be accounted
worthy to ESCAPE it all (Luke 21:36; Rev. 12: 14).
3 1/2 Year-and THEN
This fanatical, unheard-of, Satan-inspired
fiendish Tribulation and martyrdom will continue three and a half years. But
then it shall be suddenly CUT SHORT - by the divine, supernatural INTERVENTION
OF GOD!
If God did not act swiftly to cut short this
diabolical inhumanity of man to man, under the satanic sway, no human flesh
would be saved alive! (Mat 24:22).
Berlin, today! Prosperous shoppers line
Berlin's busy streets as traffic police (upper right) in newly constructed,
modern glass and concrete tower controls traffic at the busy intersection of
Kufurstendamm and Joachimstaler Strasse. This new Germany is to be totally
annihilated gy Russia after it first conquers America and Britain!
When God intervenes in world affairs,
catastrophic earth tremors will create imagination-defying waves, sweeping
whole cities from their foundations, killing millions of terrified unrepentant
victims in their surging power of destruction. Mankind will learn its lesson in
no other way!
If there were not some of God's ELECT- (those who can't be deceived (verse
24)-those who cry out to God (Luke 18: 7) -in this frightful tribulation, God
would not intervene to save humanity.
But for the sake of those "elect"
awaiting martyrdom, who had not been accounted worthy to escape this
awful time, but who now, at last, do cry out to God for mercy and
deliverance, those days shall be supernaturally cut short!
During this hellish 31/2 years, there will be
no religious freedom. The entire western world will be under the resurrected
Roman Empire -Church and State united - the religion and all schools
under a Roman Hierarchy, enforced by the civil police. The entire eastern world
will be under atheistic Communism. Neither the eastern or the western world
will permit any true Gospel preaching whatsoever.
This is the time, following the famine of
food, when there shall be a spiritual famine-a famine of hearing the
true WORD OF GOD (Amos 8:11). Millions who now HEAR the true Gospel on The
WORLD TOMORROW program worldwide, but who treat it lightly or spurn it, will
wish THEN that they had heeded!
Sudden Divine Intervention
But at that juncture the God who rules the
universe will suddenly step in, and supernaturally intervene.
He will do this in two stages: first,
by terrifying warning SIGNS; finally, by actual PLAGUES in physical punishment.
Yet, even then, God will first give warning!
Once again, an all merciful and LOVING God will give humans opportunity to
REPENT-to turn from this world's ways that have cursed mankind, and to
receive divine PROTECTION from God-sent plagues.
Suddenly something terrifying in appearance
will happen in the sky. Just how God will bring this about is not
revealed. But to human eyes, the Sun suddenly will go dark; there will be peace
light from the moon: the only light will come in the form of millions of
stars-meteors-falling to the earth in such frightful display that men will
faint or run screaming in stark terror Astronomers will be baffled. Science
will be unable to explain.
But this is only the beginning. Far more
frightening, men will look up and suddenly see the SIGN of Christ's imminent
personal return in the heavens (Mat. 24:29-30). This is explained. (Rev.
6:12-16) as the heavens departing as a scroll being rolled together, and the
awe-inspiring bright-as-the-sun face of God the Father, and also that of Christ
at His right hand, becoming visible.
Men will be thrown into frantic terror-for no
man can look upon God and live!
Frightened out of their wits, men shall try
to hide in buildings, in caves in the mountains-they shall cry out in
consternation for the rocks of mountains to fall on them, to hide them from the
sun bright countenance of the Creator!
In terrified panic, a God-ignoring, God -
rejecting, pleasure - seeking mankind suddenly will become very much aware that
GOD IS REAL--aware of His mighty POWER and CLOSENESS!
Our Work Bears Fruit!
At that mighty moment of earth's history,
hundreds of thousands will remember the TRUE MESSAGE FROM GOD that they had
heard going out freely to the world at THIS time, on The WORLD TOMORROW
program.
Yes, hundreds of thousands who take it
lightly today, or put it out of mind because it's different from the
teachings of their worldly churches, will then REMEMBER-and cry out to God for
mercy!
And these hundreds of thousands shall learn
that God's mercy, truly, is greater toward us than the heavens are high above
the earth! For God will hear their repentant cries and place them under His
divine protection from the indescribably terrible PLAGUES which are then yet
to come! For these are the plagues that GOD shall send-plagues sent in
divine PUNISHMENT on those Fascist-Catholic powers of Europe that shall have
yielded themselves as the chief political -religious agencies of SATAN in his
defiant war against God!
At this precise juncture--again for the
ELECT'S sake--God will hold back the punishing winds of war and of
plagues (Rev. 7:1-3).
The actual physical punishment of this
great and mighty DAY OF THE LORD will not fall until God has sealed,
with His protection those who have now suffered through the Great Tribulation
(Rev. 7:14), and have now at last learned their lesson, and turned
repentantly to GOD.
Among these, now yielding their lives to GOD
and to HIS WAYS, will be the much - quoted but little - understood
"144,000." There will be 12,000 from America-another 12,000 from
British Commonwealth nations- 12,000 Jews -12,000 from each of the 12
tribes of Israel except Dan- but Joseph is given a DOUBLE-portion.
But also, with them, there shall be an
INNUMERABLE MULTITUDE out of all nations, who shall in total surrender
cry out to God.
The 144,000 Israelites will then have the
name of God the Father (Rev. 14:1) sealed in their foreheads (Rev. 7:3-4) -that
is, in their minds. These all shall receive God's Holy Spirit-be then
begotten as children of God.
And who shall then, at last-having endured
the Great Tribulation having seen God's terrifying warning SIGN- repent
and put their lives in God's hands, shall come under God's divine protection.
NO PLAGUE will touch them (Psalm 91:1-11).
But all others, still the vast majority, will
not repent. And all who will not repent at this time, after this final
SUPERNATURAL WARNING, will have so hardened their hearts in resentfulness and
bitterness against God that they will not repent, even during the plagues that
shall then immediately follow (Rev. 9:20; 16:9,11).
Now after these mighty events will come the
time of GOD'S WRATH against sinful men who have refused to depart from the ways
that are damning their own souls. Now God, at last, after every possible
warning and pleading short of physical punishment, will let the divine
punishment fall!
Now comes, in full divine FURY, the period
foretold in more than 30 prophecies as "The DAY OF THE LORD"-the time
of God's Wrath!
The Terrible DAY OF THE LORD
"Vengeance is Mine," says the
Almighty God. Now he shall pour out the vials of His vengeance on those who
have voluntarily chosen Satan.
Plagues, terrible beyond description, shall
fall upon this Fascist-Catholic European Empire. God will now take vengeance
for their fiendish tortures of His peoples during the Great Tribulation.
The sixth of these punishing plagues will be
a military invasion of Europe by the Communist forces from Russia and the
Orient. By that time, the Red Armies of Russia, China and allies will number
TWO HUNDRED MILLION!
Think of it. A vast army of two hundred
million soldiers! These vast hordes will then sweep across Europe, UTTERLY
DESTROYING ALL THIS RESURRECTED ROMAN EMPIRE IN EUROPE! It is spoken of
prophetically as the modern "BABYLON"-the daughter of the
ancient Babylon of Nebuchadnezzar. It is a "BABYLON" led by the
symbolic harlot "woman"-the great apostate paganized Church falsely
calling herself "Christian."
Just as Nebuchadnezzar's ancient Babylon was
totally destroyed-not an inhabitant left so shall this successor and her
European territory be TOTALLY devastated, left without an inhabitant!
Meanwhile, the FUEHRER, or what-ever the
Leader shall be called (prophecy symbolizes him under the name "THE
BEAST"), together with the Pope, will have moved their capital in the
environs of JERUSALEM, which they shall have captured at the outset of World
War III-the beginning of the Tribulation. They will, by the time of the Russian
invasion, have large military forces in Palestine, as well as on other fronts
of the world war.
Unrepentant
human beings will be stricken with
excruciatingly painful boils - no position of the
body may give relief from their agonies - as
God destroys the evil works of sinning mankind to bring
the nations to repentance.
Communists, incidentally, shall not take over
Palestine, nor other southwestern Asiatic territory. Just now they are bidding
strongly for it. But it will fall, instead, into the hands of the resurrected
Roman forces.
Finally . . .The WORLD TOMORROW!
Now we come to the CLIMAX of all the ages!
At this precise juncture, the Supreme
RULER of the Universe--Jesus Christ, glorified, to whom has been given ALL
POWER in heaven and in earth, who upholds the energies and forces of the entire
universe by the Word of His Power-yes, the SAME Jesus Christ who trod this
unhappy earth more than 1900 years age--will return in clouds to earth, visibly,
personally, bodily!
This time He is coming in all His Power and
Glory, to PUT DOWN all opposition, to RULE all the nations of earth with
supernatural force. He is coming not only as KING of kings, but also as LORD of
lords.
This time He is coming to RESTORE the laws
and the rule of GOD! He is coming to enforce those spiritual, inexorable
LAWS-the very laws set in motion to bring humanity PEACE, HAPPINESS, JOY,
HEALTH, PROSPERITY!
But those who shall have refused to repent
and turn to God at the end of the Great Tribulation and during the ensuing Day
of the Lord still will refuse to submit.
As the glorified omnipotent Christ is
descending toward earth in a cloud-with all the holy angels of heaven escorting
Him, the dead IN Christ-all who truly had repented, been begotten by the Holy
Spirit, and who had over-come their own natures thru God's power, who had grown
in spiritual grace, knowledge and character, and had endured persecution and
opposition to the end-shall be resurrected from their graves, immortal, divine,
now BORN of God at last.
The living IN CHRIST shall at the same
instant be changed from mortal to immortal - from material flesh to
spiritual-from human to divine. And they shall be caught up, with the
resurrected saints, to MEET the descending, glorified Christ in the air Many
have wondered WHY this meeting up in the air. These born again saints will rise
from all parts of a round earth. They shall be taken through the air at the
speed of lightning. ( Mat. 24:27).
They shall all descend together to the Mount
of Olives, one - half mile east of Jerusalem, from which Jesus ascended over
1900 years ago!
And now . . . ARMAGEDDON!
Simultaneously, at the very Presence, or
Coming, of Christ and all the holy, angels, the seven last plagues of
God s Terrible Day of WRATH shall be poured out on the remnants of this
Fascist-Catholic Europe. They will be covered with BOILS from head to foot. The
sea, the lakes, and the rivers will become as human blood-all drinking water
will be polluted. This "Beast" power shall have shed the blood of
innocent Christian martyrs - now God will give them blood to drink!
Next, the sun's rays will become so intense
men will be literally scorched with the heat. But these God-defying
embittered sons of Satan will only scream out agonizing curses, blaspheming the
very name of the God who is punishing them to save them from themselves. They
will still refuse to repent. Next, Christ will pour out the fifth plague on the
very seat of this "Fuehrer" and the Pope at Jerusalem--the light of
the sun shall now be withdrawn, and in the resulting darkness they will gnaw
their tongues in pain-but they will not yet surrender to God. Instead, they
will scream out curses damning the name of Christ.
It is at this very stage in these plagues
that the demons, possessing these rebel leaders (Rev. 16:13-14), will mobilize
military forces in the Valley of Megiddo, 70 miles northeast of Jerusalem, to
FIGHT against the returned Christ and His angels. They will yet try to
overthrow the divine power, and rule the world themselves. They will resist to
the END! But these human leaders shall be fighting SUPERNATURAL Power!
Their fate will be AWFUL! Their flesh will
consume away off their bones even while they yet stand on their feet!
Then the last of these plagues of
divine judgment shall fall. There will be a bedlam of thunder accompanying
unprecedented, frightening flashes of lightning. The most tremendous earthquake
of all history will rock the earth. Then will fall out of heaven a devastating
hailstorm, with huge hailstones weighing as much as a hundred pounds! But again
these hardened men will blaspheme God because of this plague! They still
will refuse to LEARN their LESSON, and find the way to peace and happiness for
all!
As the Battle of this Great DAY OF THE LORD
comes to its fateful end, with the armies assembled at ARMAGEDDON destroyed,
and as the final plague of the seven last PLAGUES is poured out, the military
Fuehrer and the Pope (who during these closing days shall have deceived the
world by faked miracles) will be taken together, and cast alive into a
"lake of fire burning with brimstone."
Satan Himself Put Away
And now, his military and religious legions
destroyed, his devil- controlled human leaders dead, Satan himself shall be
cast into the abyss or symbolic bottomless pit -- a condition of total
restraint that he cannot influence, deceive humanity any further for a duration
of 1 000 years.
Those overcoming saints of Christ, now BORN
of God--now GLORIFIED, even as Christ has been glorified--form and constitute,
under Christ, the KINGDOM OF GOD. It shall be at once the divine spirit-born
FAMILY of God, and the GOVERNMENT of God, which shall bear rule over all the
earth!
And now what of the remainder of mankind?
With Satan removed, their political and
religious leaders dead, their armies totally destroyed--no one to lead
them any further into HUMAN ways against God's rule. all who remain alive after
these catastrophic wars and plagues will be forced, at last to submit to the
rule of Christ and the Kingdom of God.
Only ONE religion will then be allowed - that
of the TRUTH of the Creator GOD. Those who have been converted down thru the
ages, now made immortal in the Kingdom of God, will rule over and TEACH those
humans who remain alive A fraction of today's population will still survive
Still human and mortal they will continue to live and reproduce, even as they
now do. But they will be ruled over by the immortal saints, under
Christ, with the RULE OF GOD.
For example, they will be will be required to
observe God's annual holy days instead of the present world's pagan
holidays, such as Christmas, New Year's, Easter, etc. The people of all nations
will be required to come up to Jerusalem, then the world capital, to keep the
Feast of Tabernacles icon the fall of the year. If they refuse, there will be
no rain on their land thereafter. If they still refuse, Christ will second
supernatural plagues to punish them into submission. (Zech. 14:16-19).
Gradually, a stubborn, stiff-necked, hostile
and rebellious mankind will be forced into the WAYS and the LAWS of God. Soon
they will begin to see that they have HEALTH instead of sickness; interesting,
abundant, HAPPY lives, instead of emptiness, boredom and unhappiness; a 1 e r
t, comprehending minds, instead of dullness, inefficiency, stupidity;
prosperity, instead of poverty; JOY, instead of depression, fear and worry,
heartache and frustration.
They will look back over the 6,000-year
period of HUMAN EXPERIENCE during which God allowed mankind to decide the WRONG
way, and set up a man-built civilization contrary to the laws of God. They will
compare.
DO YOU
THINK ANYBODY WILL THEN WANT TO GO BACK TO THE WAYS OF OUR WORLD TODAY?
No! Icon those days (Micah 4:1-3), the
KINGDOM OF GOD shall be established above all nations. The people finally will
say: "Come, and let us go up to the KINGDOM OF GOD; and Christ will teach
us of HIS ways, and we will walk in his paths." For GOD'S LAW, which even
most preachers and churches HATE today, shall then go forth from God's glorious
kingdom, and the WORD OF GOD from Jerusalem. The earth will at last be FULL of
the knowledge of GOD -- the TRUTH! (Isa. 11:9). And Christ shall rule over and
judge all nations, UNTIL they beat their swords into plowshares, their weapons
of destruction into implements of peaceful PRODUCTION. WE SHALL HAVE WORLD
PEACE!
Yes, UTOPIA at last!
There are REASONS for today's ills! What we
sow, we reap!
When, at last, God takes over--puts down
Satan, and the WAYS of Satan's world which have made the nations so
unhappy--when, at last, mankind is ruled and taught religiously by GOD thru
Christ and thru His saints made immortal, then the NEW World - The WORLD
TOMORROW shall reap what it then sows -- PEACE, HAPPINESS, PROSPERITY, HEALTH,
ABUNDANT, INTERESTING LIVING, OVERFLOWING JOY!
It will be a Utopia beyond man's fondest or
wildest dreams! God Almighty created and set in Motion the laws to produce just
such a Utopia, when humanity yields to that divine rule, we shall have it!
And now, finally, a last word to you who read
this warning message--this summary of the prophecies:
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Your immediate future is of your own
choosing. You can take this lightly, let it slip from mind, allow yourself once
again to be absorbed in the mechanics of today's complex society that you put
this out of mind. If you do, you have now read YOUR FATE--and I say to
you on authority of God Almighty that it is absolutely SURE!
Or, you may heed the warning, realize the
truth -- that there already have occurred in the world sufficient happenings to
verify the REALITY of God's prophecies--and REPENT NOW before it is too late.
If you DO turn to d God by forsaking your way and this world's ways
through Jesus Christ as personal Saviour--if you DO then overcome, study the
Bible continually to let it correct and reprove and instruct
YOU--living by EVERY WORD OF GOD, rather than by the ways and customs of
society-if you pray earnestly and continually, drawing closer and closer to
GOD, and endure in this wonderful new life, you shall be accounted worthy to ESCAPE
all these terrifying things soon to befall the world. (Luke 21:36).
You
may escape the Great Tribulation. No PLAGUE will come near you.
And, finally, given the precious gift of
eternal life, you shall be used I God's Kingdom teaching and ruling those human
beings made joyous in that PEACEFUL WORLD TOMORROW! The decision is now YOURS!
