TO FINISH THIS WORK HE HAS USED ME IN DOING!
God could take my life in the next breath--or He has power to keep me on
the job as
His instrument for as long as He deems necessary.
I have NEVER SAID I expect to live until Christ comes.
But, just in case of my disability for any reason, to prevent Satan from
causing
division, I feel God has inspired me to delegate power to the Advisory Council,
during any
such complete disability, to take full charge of the Work and all its assets and
activities.
The CHURCH must not be scattered. It must not become scattered, because
there
is no COMPETENT, CHRIST-CHOSEN SPIRITUAL SHEPHERD, TO BECOME MEAT FOR
BEASTS (human) OF THE FIELD! (See Ezekiel 34:5.) This is a safeguard for YOUR
protection.
This letter is already overlong, but I felt important.
I urge all who have not already asked for it, to request the new Lesson 13
of the Bible
Correspondence Course.
Brethren, NEVER were your prayers so URGENTLY NECESSARY--both for YOU and
the Work--and for me! My life has been threatened--but by faith in God it shall
be spared
until my work is complete. I now have to ask you to sacrifice and send in
special EXTRA
generous offerings more than ever before. Time is short. Soon there shall be a
FAMINE of
hearing the Word of God (Amos 8:11). If we work harder now, SO WILL SATAN. SO
PRAY
AS NEVER BEFORE!
With deep love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
