Dear Co-Worker with Christ:
Suppose Khrushchev did order an all-out NUCLEAR surprise-
attack on the United States in the next week or two. Suppose that
instead of test-exploding the 50-megaton bomb, Khrushchev exploded
it on the United States, just ten miles from where you live? THAT
IS POSSIBLE! THAT COULD HAPPEN--TOMORROW!
What would you do? What would happen to YOU?
Now I'm certain, because I KNOW God's prophecies are
absolutely SURE, that no such terrifying disaster is going to
happen next week--or probably even next year. NEVERTHELESS IT IS
POSSIBLE--the stage is all SET for it--Russia has the nuclear
weapons and the means for delivering them--and Khrushchev has full
authority to give the word--which would be obeyed!
Even though it won't happen, it's high time we WAKE UP to
the stark, frightful REALITY of things! And the ONLY REASON why
God Almighty, with His supreme power over every person, nation,
force and power, is now HOLDING THIS VERY THING BACK, is to allow
time, and circumstances, for HIS TREMENDOUS MESSAGE as a last
warning to be THUNDERED BY US as His instruments, around the world!
But we must realize that such TOTAL CATASTROPHE is merely
being held back--DELAYED for a while--until the living Jesus Christ
gets this WARNING, and His GOOD NEWS of His Kingdom and the
peaceful WORLD TOMORROW into every nation!
Jesus Christ said plainly, more than 1900 years ago, THIS
VERY DESTRUCTION IS GOING TO COME! It will be a time of world
trouble far more terrible and destructive than anything that ever
happened--whole cities being totally destroyed. He said it will be
so destructive that, once started, it would erase all human, animal
and plant LIFE from the earth--UNLESS God Almighty intervenes to
CUT SHORT the all-out TOTAL nuclear war.
Oh yes, it is coming! Jesus Christ said so! But it is
NOT coming in the way, or from the source, that men now expect.
Not from Russia. Khrushchev's tactics of terror and causing FEAR
by his threats are, indeed causing FEAR. I quote from the October
16 U.S. News: "Germany, divided visibly, ...is developing new
doubts ... about the U.S. Germans hold the key to West Europe."
