Jerusalem, Israel
April 12, 1971
Dear Co-Worker in the
Greatest Mission on Earth:
Once again, I am in this remarkable "new" country, ISRAEL.
From now on, Jerusalem will be the pivotal CENTER of world news.
While here, I want to bring you up-to-date on the almost
unbelievable, exciting, and momentous things now happening in
this great Work.
GIANT doors have been opening before me, one after another,
with invitations for personal conferences with heads of state --
presidents, kings, prime ministers -- and many others in high
offices of POWER, in many countries around the world. The
remarkable thing is that I did not seek or initiate these meetings
-- not once! I was invited.
Do you realize how IMPOSSIBLE it is for anyone, except those
in official capacity, to initiate and obtain a personal private
conference with a chief of state? These people occupy offices of
GREAT POWER in the world. They are all surrounded by the most
effective and well organized security systems. NO ONE except
their own closest secretaries or ministers is ever allowed to
contact them direct, either in person or by telephone. NOBODY,
except those in official office with official business, ever gets
to see them, unless personally invited by the head of state, or
unless most carefullY screened, checked on, approved by
secretaries, and then, finally, approved by the chief of state.
If I, by my own initiative, had tried to arrange all these many
personal meetings and conferences, it would have been utterly
IMPOSSIBLE!
Mr. Unofficial Citizen doesn't just take the telephone, dial
directly into the private office of an overseas chief executive,
get him on the phone, and say: "Hi, King old boy! I'm coming right
over to see you." He would never get to the king, the president,
or the prime minister.
Even though the time has come, in this great Commission,
when it is necessary for me to have these personal meetings, there
is absolutely NO WAY I could have taken it into my own hands and
accomplished it. It had to come like a continuous chain of
MIRACULOUS occurrences. And it is having TREMENDOUS SIGNIFICANCE
to the finishing of this most important Commission on earth in
