evils. Given sufficient knowledge, science could solve all
problems, they believed. So gradually moral and spiritual values
were dropped. Colleges and universities began putting emphasis
solely on the intellect, and instruction in the professions,
technologies, and sciences. World Wars I and II shot moral and
spiritual values to the cesspool.
As scientists and educators added to the world's fund of
knowledge, the world's troubles and evils increased. During the
past ten years knowledge DOUBLED -- and likewise, troubles and
evils have DOUBLED in the same decade! Today world-famous
scientists are frankly frightened. It is now possible to erase all
human life from this planet. Human survival is the number one
world problem. Scientists and heads of state say publicly the only
HOPE is a super world government, and at the same time admit its
utter impossibility. Then I told them that we have now come to the
place where, as the U.S. News and World Report had intimated some
time ago, it would seem that our sole hope of survival rests in the
SUPERNATURAL intervention of an unseen "STRONG HAND FROM
SOMEWHERE."
I told them how, if we are to place credence in the Hebrew
Bible, the entire fault in the production of knowledge took place
in the Garden of Eden, in the account of the "forbidden fruit," or
the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil." The Creator had set
in motion an invisible but inexorable law to CAUSE every GOOD
result. That invisible spiritual LAW is the cause of all GOOD.
Its transgression is the cause of all evils. When Adam took of the
fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he took TO
HIMSELF the divine GOD PREROGATIVE of producing the knowledge of
what is good and what is evil. Rejecting the revealed KNOWLEDGE of
God, and DISOBEYING that Law revealed by God, man became an
adversary of God, and always has tried to decide for himself what
is right and what is wrong. All his KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION has been
of the way of life that transgresses that CAUSE of all good.
Consequently his knowledge production has brought only EVILS. As
knowledge increases, so do the problems and evils.
I told those scholarly professors that they are betting their
very lives on the existence of the Creator GOD, and His soon
SUPERNATURAL INTERVENTION in world affairs, to save humanity alive.
No one sneered or jeered. Those high-ranking professors were
SOBERED. They KNOW world conditions. They knew what I said made
sense -- it was the TRUTH.
Afterward, Prince Mikasa talked to them for some fifteen or
twenty minutes, saying some very nice things about my address.
Co-Workers, this new turn of events throwing me personally
into direct contact with heads of state of many great nations is
highly significant. It is a door through which God is, I feel,
using me to get HIS WARNING MESSAGE to the leaders of nations. It
is an additional signal of the fast-approaching END, and the soon
coming of the living Christ as KING of kings, setting up the
GOVERNMENT OF GOD to rule all nations.
World conditions are WORSENING as never before. YOU KNOW
