But there were not ten. There was only one righteous man in
all that great city. So God took Lot and his family out of Sodom
to spare them, and then DESTROYED THE CITY.
Now look at OUR WORLD TODAY. It's a God-denying,
God-forgetting, God-DISOBEYING world. And this world is now on the
very brink of cosmocide -- men themselves starting a nuclear war
that could DESTROY ALL MANKIND!
But what did Jesus say? He said, "But for the elect's sake,"
He is going to intervene, cutting short man's days of DESTRUCTION,
and thus sparing the lives of all people then left alive -- "For
the sake of His own elect!" The "elect" are those who have God's
TRUTH and can't be deceived (Matt. 24:24). They are those who rely
on, and cry out to God in prayer (Luke 18:7).
NOW DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?
God is using THIS WORK to raise up obedient children who OBEY
Him, who TRUST Him, RELY on Him -- cry out to Him in prayer. He is
using YOU and the rest of us Co-Workers to raise up a small
minority of the earth's population who are HIS ELECT -- who have
surrendered their lives to Him, who rely on and obey Him, and have
found GRACE in His sight!
God is using YOU and all of Christ's Co-Workers to save
humanity alive -- so that, after Christ comes with all the POWER
and supernatural GLORY of the Creator GOD, to cut short these days
of man's destruction of man, He can then set about saving the world
spiritually -- with salvation and eternal life as God's GIFT!
Does THAT mean anything to you?
God Almighty is going to SAVE THE WORLD! The Living CHRIST in
the FULL DIVINE POWER AND GLORY OF GOD is soon to return to earth!
He is coming to STOP violence and human slaughter -- to STOP race
hatreds and mob violence -- to STOP wars and human carnage -- to
STOP homes from being broken up in divorce -- to STOP crime, and
mental troubles, and sickness and diseases -- to STOP poverty and
squalor and filth and ignorance!
Christ is coming to force humanity to BE HAPPY -- to be
healthy -- to enjoy life -- to be prosperous and end poverty!
This last warning of this age is going out, WORLD-WIDE -- OVER
EVERY CONTINENT -- through the WORLD TOMORROW broadcast, The PLAIN
TRUTH Magazine, our other literature, and our Ministers all over
the world ready to give personal counsel and spiritual help to all
who request it!
This Work is growing great and powerful because it's GOD'S
Work -- because the mighty POWER of His HOLY SPIRIT moves it! Yes,
persecutors fight it -- Satan's ministers (see II Cor. 11:13-15)
"expose" it -- cheap, dirty, low-grade, yellow journalism attack
it, and, as Jesus said they would, "Blessed are they which are
persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of
Heaven. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute
