THINK! I wonder if you can realize it! The true Gospel
is SO DIFFERENT from ANY religion -- and from any religion or
missionary teaching, that it actually means GOD IS ABOUT TO SEND
US INTO THESE MANY COUNTRIES WITH (TO THEM) A BRAND NEW STARTLING
ANNOUNCEMENT -- INVOLVING THEIR OWN PEOPLE -- AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF A
TREMENDOUS EARTHSHAKING EVENT SOON TO SHAKE THEIR COUNTRY AND THE
WHOLE WORLD!
It's NEW to them. It's NEWS! It's GOOD NEWS! It's
NOTHING LIKE what missionaries have taught in those countries!
They will not recognize any connection WHATEVER. It will not
appear as anything competitive to THEIR religions. In Japan it
will be thundered to them as direct from the CREATOR OF THE
JAPANESE PEOPLE. I will not say anything against their religions.
This is just something different -- and NEW! It is WHAT THEIR TRUE
GOD AND CREATOR IS GOING, VERY SOON, TO DO! In Ethiopia it will be
(AS IN TRUTH IT IS) the Message from the CREATOR of the Ethiopian
people. From the CREATOR of ALL MANKIND! I DO -- always have --
speak in the name of that one and only CREATOR! I know God will
reveal what to say and HOW to say it!
This is a tremendous undertaking. It will take TIME to
organize it. We need YOUR earnest PRAYERS for this new activity.
The chief rulers in the governments of these countries, will know
precisely what I propose to say. I feel sure they will WANT their
peoples to hear this tremendous ANNOUNCEMENT. It is NOT to be in
any sense a member-getting drive. We are not going into this type
program to GET anything. Just to make God's tremendous
ANNOUNCEMENT. That's all our Great God wants us to do.
THAT'S OUR COMMISSION! Just the ANNOUNCEMENT of the
soon-coming KINGDOM OF GOD. Of course I must reveal this great
announcement to these heads of state first. World conditions are
now such that I know they want to hear it! I did not have this in
mind when I first began receiving invitations to come for personal
meetings with these world leaders. I just knew GOD was opening
the doors, and wanted me to walk through them. Some people
criticized. But I knew God would reveal the PURPOSE He had in mind
in His due time. I know these leaders will WELCOME the GOOD NEWS.
HOW ABOUT YOU? We're all excited about it here at
Headquarters!
Brethren, Co-Workers in God's Work -- I simply KNOW that
THIS IS A NEW DAY IN GOD'S WORK! I have PRAYED -- and PRAYED that
God would reveal to me HOW to MAKE THIS WHOLE WORLD KNOW IT HAS
HEARD GOD'S GOSPEL MESSAGE AS A WITNESS! He is showing me!
Now, also an ANNOUNCEMENT of how God has moved to give us
all a SENSE OF SECURITY for the future of the Work!
A couple of weeks ago, I was down in Mexico, dedicating
our new offices in Mexico City, counseling with our people there.
I was reading in I Chronicles 28 what King David said to
his son Solomon, when he was turning the throne of government of
Israel over to Solomon. I saw a parallel between them on the one
