about his or her job as if no difference in color. I saw no
evidence of color prejudice or racism. The hotel accepted white,
black, and colored guests--though I saw no guests but white. Prime
Minister Vorster's apartheid system provides geographical segregation
in residential areas. Whites are forbidden by law to move into black
or colored residential areas, and vice-versa. But all may be employed
without discrimination, it appeared.
On the surface, it appeared the system was working well, and
that all was peaceful and happy. BUT, underneath the surface there
was still HUMAN NATURE, with a satanic Devil inoculating all humans
with prejudice, suspicion, resentment against abuses--actual or
imagined--resentment of authority, and the attitude of competition
and strife. I had years earlier written how this attitude underneath
could explode some day.
IT DID! It exploded just two days before my Johannesburg
meetings into the WORST RIOTS in South Africa's history.
I was there proclaiming a WORLD TOMORROW, ruled by the KINGDOM
OF GOD, with HUMAN NATURE changed, Satan banished and chained, Christ
and the saints RULING in ONE WORLD of P E A C E and L O V E
regardless of race or color--and of ONE CREED--that of Jesus Christ--
that of LOVE TOWARD ALL MEN, and LOVE AND WORSHIP FIRST OF ALL TO
THE LIVING GOD!
When I have said that I am only 37, going on 36, Mr. Fahey must
have believed it. Surely no one older than that could have endured
the fast and rugged pace his planning and schedules put me through!
It was HARD work! But it was the BEST PLANNED CAMPAIGN I HAVE BEEN
IN. AND THE MOST SUCCESSFUL!!!
Co-Workers and Brethren, STAND BACK OF ME AND GARNER TED--with
your constant prevailing PRAYERS, and your financial sacrifice.
TIME IS GETTING SHORTER AND SHORTER. We are on the HOME
STRETCH of finishing GOD'S WORK for this time! WE NEED YOUR HELP
AS NEVER BEFORE!
With deep love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
