approximately 100 19-year time-cycles -- 1900 years. The first
broadcast was scheduled for June 7, at 8:05 p.m. I wanted to
broadcast that program in person FROM JERUSALEM, although
succeeding programs were to be broadcast by tape recording. Early
Monday morning, June 5, I was being driven by car to London airport
to board a nonstop jet flight to Beirut -- flying there to
Jerusalem. But we heard, over the car radio, that the war had
started.
I did not take that plane. It took off, but it never
landed at Beirut. It was put down at Athens. So once again, I was
brought into close personal contact with this most significant
flash war.
In a sense, I have to be your eyes and ears in seeing,
watching and reporting to you these world happenings. But MOST
IMPORTANT is WHAT THESE WORLD ERUPTIONS MEAN!
The news gatherers and reporters of the world's
newspapers, magazines, and radio and television newscasters DO NOT
KNOW what these things mean -- or where they are immediately
leading! You have to understand BIBLICAL PROPHECIES before you can
know!
I'm sure you know that The PLAIN TRUTH has trained
correspondents, regional editors, photographers, stationed in all
parts of the world. From our offices in England, Duesseldorf,
Geneva, Johannesburg, Nicosia, Sydney, Manila, and various parts of
the United States and Canada, we fly our own press correspondents
and photographers to all the world "trouble spots" or important
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES of major nations. We "cover" the
important world events, the same as news magazines, newspapers, and
other magazines -- with our own trained men -- who understand
Biblical Prophecies! Often, in The PLAIN TRUTH, we actually
"scoop" the big national news magazines with on-the-spot color
pictures of these big world events -- even though they publish
weekly and we only monthly!
And, by the way -- before I tell you what this Jew-Arab
War means -- here's BIG NEWS!
Beginning the July number, The PLAIN TRUTH has at last
reached the world-wide circulation of ONE-MILLION COPIES!!!! That
is HUGE circulation! It makes The PLAIN TRUTH now one of the truly
BIG MAJOR magazines of the world!
But now I want to get to the point!
I want to try to make plain a little of WHAT THIS ISRAELI-
ARAB WAR REALLY MEANS!
It is interesting to know that it all started from a
jealousy of two women over one MAN! But it's IMPORTANT here that
JERUSALEM and the Middle East holds the key to the WORLD WAR III
that is going to END this present world! It is from there that
ARMAGEDDON will be triggered. It is right there -- in Palestine --
that the Armageddon battle will be fought!
