Most Americans seem to think this present movement toward a
UNITED EUROPE is a good thing -- that it will be friendly to the
United States. But de Gaulle already is showing how it is headed.
GOD SAYS they will invade, conquer and DESTROY THIS NATION!
For more than 30 years I have sounded the warning. WHEN this
happens -- very possibly in a short 8 or 9 more years -- it means
THE GREAT TRIBULATION shall have struck us -- and the world will be
on the VERY BRINK of THE DAY OF THE LORD, the END of this world,
and the coming of CHRIST to set up the WORLD-GOVERNMENT OF GOD!
And also WHEN this happens, MY VOICE and MY SON'S WILL BE
STILLED! There will be no more editions of the PLAIN TRUTH. OUR
WORK WILL BE DONE!
Yet the BIGGEST, and by far the MOST IMPORTANT PART of God's
Work He is doing THROUGH YOU AND ME, remains yet to be done! Some
might say: "Well, if that's all the time we have left, why go on
planning and trying to build bigger?"
WHY? Because GOD's WORK is not yet FINISHED! The MOST
IMPORTANT and BIGGEST part is yet to be done! Because we must
NEVER stop! Because Jesus Christ said: "Blessed is that servant,
whom his Lord, when he cometh, shall find so DOING." (Luke 12:13).
He was speaking of faithful and wise stewards in the WORK OF GOD --
the very WORK you and I have been called into. Christ taught that
we must continue FULL PRESSURE AHEAD, right up to the very END!
Did you ever realize the REAL MESSAGE to YOU and to me, in
this very Work of God TODAY, in the parables of the Pounds, and the
Talents?
These are like DIRECT TEACHINGS FROM CHRIST, JUST PERSONALLY
TO YOU AND ME, IN THIS WORK RIGHT NOW, TODAY!
Take the parable of the pounds, in Luke 19:11-27: WHY did
Jesus speak this parable? Because His disciples thought the
Kingdom of God was to be set up immediately -- in THEIR time --
between 27 and 31 A.D. It has to do with CHRIST'S COMING -- and
WHY He went to heaven, instead of taking over world government
right then.
Jesus pictured Himself as the young Nobleman going to a far
country to receive authority to rule a Kingdom -- and then to
return. It was necessary for Jesus to go to GOD'S THRONE in heaven
-- the very THRONE OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNIVERSE -- to receive
His Rulership for God's WORLD-RULING Government.
But there was another reason. There needed to be time to
carry out GOD'S WORK -- which God has called us, today, to finish.
The TEN SERVANTS He called simply represent those called and
chosen for this Work out of the TEN Tribes of Israel. And that
means America and Canada and Britain today! Remember the nation
Israel had been divided into TWO nations, in the days of Rehoboam,
son of Solomon. The TEN Tribes were called the HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
