WANTS IT BUILT!
I'm going to ask you to sacrifice other things, and
CONTINUE sending in generous SPECIAL offerings for this Building
Fund.
Of course I know there will be some who will say, "Well,
are we not too near the time of Christ's coming, and the end of
this Work, to build it?" The answer is NO! First, we cannot set
dates for sure. Second, Jesus said blessed shall we be, who shall
be found diligently doing in HIS WORK, when He comes. Not those
who say, "Let's lie down and quit." Our Leader, the living Jesus
Christ, is leading us in God's Work to continue diligently right up
to the end of the present phase of the Work.
Another VERY IMPORTANT point. THIS WORK IS NOT GOING TO
END IN THE NEXT TWO-AND-A-HALF OR THREE -- OR FIVE OR TEN YEARS!
This WORK OF GOD is going to continue for more than a thousand
Years! There will be a short temporary RECESS -- or temporary
stopping of it, during the period of the Great Tribulation and
Day of the LORD, up to Christ's coming. But that will be only a
temporary INTERRUPTION. We shall have a TREMENDOUS responsibility
to perform IN GOD'S KINGDOM, all through the Millennium!
Some ask: Will God supernaturally PROTECT His own College
Campuses through this period? Of course I do not know. I do know
He CAN protect and preserve these beautiful properties He has put
in our hands, IF HE SO WILLS! And it does seem like He just very
possibly MAY so will! I think we shall have to leave that in HIS
hands.
Anyway, I am convinced we should CARRY ON, with no slacking
down or let-up -- but with INCREASED DEVOTION, ENTHUSIASM,
SACRIFICE, AND ZEAL to spurt up faster on the home stretch we are
now in!
Brethren, are you WITH ME? Let's set our hearts to proceed
with this HOUSE FOR GOD, and every other phase of GOD'S WORK.
Let me say that in this MOST IMPORTANT archaeological
excavation adjoining the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, removing some
50 feet or more of rubble and debris covering THE THRONE OF DAVID,
on which the living Christ will sit when He comes, progress is
proceeding at a breathtaking rate. On this trip I was surprised to
see the great progress! Ambassador College is sending 50 or 55
students to work on it during the summer. Ambassador College is in
50-50 joint participation with Hebrew University in this tremendous
project. THE WAY IS BEING PREPARED FOR CHRIST'S RETURN.
Please speed up on your prayers! Let's put all other
things second -- GOD'S WORK MUST BE FIRST. THANK YOU.
With love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
