Dear Brethren of God's Church:
I have just completed what I feel is the most important
article (in letter form) to God's people in a year, or probably
ever, because it sets forth as never before why God has called
and put us in His Church NOW, instead of later. I ask you to

Satan is attacking against you and against the Living Christ and
His Work. Your eternal life may depend on thoroughly
understanding this!
WITH GREAT LOVE, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong

REALIZE THIS! There are more than 3,600,050,000 human beings
(three billion, six hundred million, fifty thousand) on earth
today. But of that vast sea of humanity, God has in our time
up to now called and put into His Church ONLY some 50,000 baptized
members. The other 3,600,000,000 will all be called later
-- most not even in this age. They could not come to Christ
and be put into the Church NOW, even if they tried!

Jesus said plainly: "No man can come to me, except the
Father which hath sent me draw him" (John 6:44). And,
comparatively speaking, God has been drawing almost NONE in
this age!
Very FEW Called NOW!
How many of us have become unmindful of the MEANING of the
Feast of Firstfruits -- Pentecost? How many of us have become
