orbiting the earth. They will be virtually manned ISLANDS--or--
biting laboratories encircling the earth. It's now possible there
may be 50 of them in the skies by 1970 or soon thereafter.
When both the U.S. and Russia have such military fortresses
tracking around the earth in orbit--with hydrogen bombs and other
mass-destruction weapons--you can easily realize what Jesus Christ
meant when He said that in the years just almost ON US, NOW, no
flesh would be saved alive UNLESS Christ Himself moves to STOP IT!
Read it in Matthew 24:21-22.
But Jesus Christ has drafted YOU and me into HIS SERVICE,
preparing the way for His return to STOP IT. He said that for "THE
ELECT'S SAKE" this terror WILL BE STOPPED. The "elect" are those
who have turned to God--who serve and obey Him--who cry out to Him
in prayer (Luke 18:7)--who rely on Him. And every year THOUSANDS
are now being converted--changed--made Christ's "elect"--through
this very WORK of the living Christ which YOU are helping to make
possible!
Look at Europe today. The nations of Western Europe WANT to
unite into a U.S. of EUROPE. They are TRYING to unite and bring
back to life the ROMAN EMPIRE. But they are squabbling and
quarreling and wrangling among themselves as to HOW it shall be
done. De Gaulle has one idea. Others have other ideas. All this
is merely hastening the day--within VERY few years--when a super
religious leader will arise and be accepted by all of them as their
supreme AUTHORITY to unite them. See it in Revelation 17.
Everywhere on earth events are HURLING this world toward the
prophesied grand-smash CLIMAX. We may have barely six more short
years to finish this great Work the living CHRIST is doing through
YOU and me! I say MAY--I am not setting dates, yet biblical
prophecies indicate the strong possibility that time remaining for
us is indeed JUST THAT SHORT!
But Jesus Christ is speeding this Work right along ON
SCHEDULE!
As world events speed up, and time grows short, so does this
all-important Work speed up! We are into the middle of the last
month of this year. FAR more has been accomplished this year than
ever before! If world events had reached their climax even five
years ago--where humanity would have been erased from this earth
except by the second coming of Christ--THERE WOULD NOT THEN HAVE
BEEN ENOUGH OF THE "ELECT" TO HAVE SAVED HUMANITY--according to
Jesus' prophecy of Matthew 24.
But now this Work is gaining such momentum that, indeed, it
does now appear that IF that fatal climax should be reached in,
say, five, six or seven years, THERE WILL BE ENOUGH! Humanity WILL
BE SAVED! The WORLD TOMORROW WILL DAWN--a world of PEACE, of
happiness, of good health, of ABUNdANCE! Co-Workers, YOU AND I are
privileged to HAVE A PART, with Christ, and under Christ, in SAVING
THE WORLD!
The leaders of the governments of this world can't save it!
