the airport the Immigration Office asked if I was coming there to speak, and
denied permission to speak. Even though we had the police permit, the
Immigration officer said no one is allowed to speak on any religion but Moslem.
Our aircraft could have been seized and I imprisoned.
So, already we are entering the time when no one can work in the Work of
God. The time is now rapidly approaching when there shall be a "famine of
hearing the Word of the Lord." Many brethren were sadly disappointed. Some
came to the airport to see us off.
Brethren, God is opening many doors now for a final worldwide surge of
getting the Gospel to the world. We are working on ways to get the Work going
into Japan, and doors are opening to us. The language barrier is our big problem
in Japan. But many are learning the English language, especially at high school
level.
World conditions are moving rapidly toward the CLIMAX at the CLOSE of
the age--the END of this world. We must work harder now than ever on a great
final effort while there is still time. We must put our hearts into our prayers
more
than ever. We must devote more time to study of the Bible and our booklets,
books
and articles on Bible subjects. We must sacrifice more that the Work may be able
financially to walk through these new doors opening. Pray for one another--and
for me--as I pray for YOU.
With deep love, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
