The whole world is undergoing a SICK ECONOMY. In all
countries there is INFLATION with runaway prices. Banks are in
trouble, trade is ailing, crime is escalating. VIOLENCE breaks out
all over the earth. More and more GOVERNMENTS ARE BEING
OVERTHROWN!
The very fact that TWO of my public appearance campaigns
planned for this October and November had to be postponed or
cancelled due to the overthrow of the government in Ethiopia, and
threatened overthrow and war scare in South Vietnam -- means that
we must SPEED UP our efforts to get to more and more countries
before their governments are overthrown.
Even more threatening is the mushrooming spread of NUCLEAR
POWER. Now SIX NATIONS have NUCLEAR WEAPONS. At least twenty-four
other nations have the capability to develop them. Even if the
United States and Russia refrain from using such frightful power,
some smaller nation now could start dropping a hydrogen bomb, a
second smaller nation could retaliate, and in a matter of hours
both the Soviet Union and the United States might find themselves
drawn into a NUCLEAR WORLD WAR which could wipe all human life off
this planet!
That actually could happen now -- IF the Great Creator GOD
were not to intervene supernaturally!
Co-Workers, we need to be alerted to realize we are not
living in normal times. The very END of this present troubled
world is closing in on us. The living GOD has called us -- you,
as well as me -- to the MOST IMPORTANT commission in 1900 years
-- if not in ALL TIME! This is a dying world. The leaders of
the teeming MILLIONS of people do not know or understand WHAT is
happening -- WHY it is happening -- WHY humankind was placed on
this earth -- what our stupendous potential and future REALLY IS.
I want you to fully REALIZE just what our calling and great
commission really IS! God has made us all you Co-Workers and
Brethren in Christ as well as myself, Garner Ted, and those full-
time in this Work -- as His WATCHMEN to KNOW and UNDERSTAND what
is happening -- WHY it is happening all over the world -- what is
now ABOUT TO HAPPEN -- and to GO INTO ALL THE WORLD with His true
Gospel Message warning the rulers and leaders of the masses of
people in the world of the SOON COMING KINGDOM OF GOD!
It is similar to the case of Ezekiel 33, where the watchman
was to warn Israel when he saw the sword coming on the land -- that
is, the army of an enemy attacking. If the watchman failed to
WARN the people, God would require the lives of the unwarned of
the watchman's hands.
Brethren, WE HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUE GOSPEL, which
has NOT been proclaimed to the world, save by us, since the first
century. If we fail, each of us, in his part of giving that last
Warning Message to those responsible for their peoples' spiritual
