Friend and Co-Worker:
Mrs Armstrong and I have returned from a most necessary and
fruitful trip to Europe, where we not only laid the foundation for
the establishment of the European unit of AMBASSADOR COLLEGE, but
also laid the foundation for carrying God's last warning Message,
and the true GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM to Britain and to all Europe.
God Himself brought about circumstances making a quick,
hurry-up trip over there necessary. On the way over, and on the
way back He performed miracle after miracle for us. The thrilling,
amazing account of this will appear in the "Heart-to-Heart Talk" in
the next PLAIN TRUTH. TIME IS SHORT! World events are moving at
a terrific pace. Already the movement has started and is well
under way in Europe that will bring the prophetic "BEAST" of the
Revelation out of "the bottomless pit." We have much that must be
done BEFORE that time! God says it WILL be done. He has given us
the vision, it is opening and preparing the way before us. We have
just a very few years at most---not one year to delay! The time
has come when this work of God must expand into other nations.
Jesus' commission was: "Go ye therefore and teach ALL
NATIONS." "Go ye into ALL THE WORLD and preach the GOSPEL to every
creature." And prophetically of our time, NOW, in this mid-
twentieth century, Jesus said: "This Gospel of the Kingdom shall
be preached in all the world for a witness UNTO ALL NATIONS; and
then shall the end come."
He was speaking of the END of this AGE---the END of this
CIVILIZATION---the END of all these human-formed government of man-
kind! Friends, Brethren, Co-Workers, you must realize we are only
a few years now from that END! No man knows how many---but both
prophecy and world events indicate somewhere between five and
twenty-five, and most probably between seven and fifteen. We must
lay our plans to be prepared to carry out this grave world-wide
commission WITHIN FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS! God Himself will make it
possible for the commission to be accomplished in time, if we set
ourselves with full submission to Him with purpose and
determination, and in FAITH, to do our utmost at ANY SACRIFICE, as
He makes possible. It is a huge accomplishment! Ministers and
evangelists must be trained, prepared, taught the languages of
foreign nations. They must learn these languages, and the customs
and ways of the people WHERE these people live!
At Columbia University in New York, at the University of
London, and other places, they told me we have set out to do some-
