But the original Jerusalem has been, as the Bible says,
"trodden down of the Gentiles" for many centuries. Today it is
nothing like the city in which Jesus walked. It is rubble piled on
rubble. It is dirty, filthy, a jumble of confusion, and surely a
stench to the nostrils of the living Christ. But He will YET
and in very few years, now -- reclaim Jerusalem as His City --
clear away the filth and debris -- and Jerusalem shall soon be
REBUILT, the CITY OF OUR GOD, and the CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
TOMORROW!
I stopped off on the return to visit our office in
Nicosia, Cyprus. In Nicosia I had interviews with the officials of
Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation. They have a station, at the finest
spot on the dial -- about 603 -- where it reaches out with powerful
clarity i- and presently 40,000 watts. Radio Amman, which we are
using nightly, sends such a poor signal into the neighboring
country of Israel, that I learned we are NOT now reaching the Jews
of Judah -- as God says they shall be reached (in Isaiah 40 and
elsewhere). But the Nicosia station does get in there with a good
signal. And they are INTERESTED in broadcasting The WORLD TOMORROW
-- and in even an arrangement I suggested by which we may
participate in stepping this up to greatly increased super-power.
It would then reach all of the eastern half of northern Africa, as
well as Israel, Turkey, Greece, and general surrounding areas.
THIS WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY! This
in itself is BIG NEWS!
But there is MORE! We are filing application with the
Federal Communications Commission for establishing a new TELEVISION
STATION of our own! Our first application is for a non-commercial
EDUCATIONAL T.V. station at our Ambassador College Texas campus, in
eastern Texas! Meanwhile my son Garner Ted is producing T.V.
programs in full color, in our own new T.V. studios on the Pasadena
campus. At present these programs can be viewed and heard on only
three or four stations -- but within a year we hope to be adding
more and more T.V. stations across the United States rapidly.
My dear Co-Workers, world events are stepping up. I
wonder if you can realize HOW ASTONISHINGLY FAST events would
happen in EUROPE, if President Charles de Gaulle of France should
die. And he is getting old! You would hear of frightfully fast
moves to bring about the Political-Military REUNION of EUROPE,
into the prophesied resurrection of the "HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE." Then
the prophesied "Beast" and "False Prophet" (of Revelation 13, 17,
and elsewhere) would quickly appear before a shocked, astonished,
wondering world! EVENTS ARE MOVING SWIFTLY to that end.
Meanwhile, GOD'S WORK must use the facilities of reaching
the MASSES of people -- some 45 million every week! -- by radio,
T.V., and the printing press. It all costs money -- and those of
us whom the living Christ has called to be Co-Workers with HIM, as
HE heads and directs, and blesses this Work, must continually
sacrifice other things that we may contribute generously to GOD'S
WORK, the most important activity on earth. THIS WORK is saving
humanity alive! It is spear-heading GOD'S PROGRAM to CHANGE the
