despised "Little Flock," persecuted, disunited, scattered. It is
the Church possessing only a "little strength" of itself. Yet it
has a great work to do in this very time, and God says, " I know
thy works: behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man
can shut it."
Do you know what that "DOOR" is? It is the door that
makes possible, thru divine power, the doing of God's work which we
of ourselves have not the strength to do. And GOD HAS OPENED THAT
DOOR to us!
Yes, even tho, as prophesied, the whole world has been
RECEIVED, spiritually blinded by a false GOSPEL, yet Jesus said
that HIS Gospel OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD shall go out to all the world
for a witness to all nations, JUST BEFORE The Great Tribulation.
That time is NOW! That prophecy is being FULFILLED! You, as a
Co-Worker, have had a very important PART. YOU have actually been
used of God in this prophesied work of His. God has opened a door
of undreamed POWER so that EVERY DOLLAR you have put into His work
has carried HIS Message to more than two thousand precious souls!
Listen now to an ASTOUNDING fact! God has set TIME
running in cycles of 19 years. Just once every 19 years the days,
divided by the sun; the months, divided by the new moons; and the
years, divided by the revolution of the earth around the sun, all
come into exact conjunction. Thus God's NATURE runs in 19-year
cycles. That is important. Now see what has happened.
It took just ONE COMPLETE CYCLE of 19 years for this work
to grow from nothing until it carried the very Gospel of Jesus all
over the North American continent in mighty POWER! That 19-year
cycle ended, and the second 19-year cycle began, during the first
quarter of this present year, 1953!
The very start of the second 19-year cycle marked the
beginning of proclaiming this Gospel to ALL EUROPE and THE BRITISH
ISLES! It must still go to Asia, Africa, South America, and
Australia. WHEN it has spanned the world, THEN the END OF THE
WORLD shall come! The disciples asked Jesus WHEN this world would
end, and His second coming occur. He said THIS Gospel shall go
around the world, and THEN shall the end come!
Now HERE IS SOMETHING STARTLING! Herman Hoeh, in his
eye-opening article you will read in the June number of The PLAIN
TRUTH on the Times of the Gentiles shows that the Times of the
Gentiles---if chronologies are correct---will come to their final
end in the year 1982. Very few have ever rightly understood the
Times of the Gentiles---what they are, or when they end. They are
to last until all the Gentile nations come to ACKNOWLEDGE that God
is the real RULER over all nations and men. They will not
acknowledge that when Christ first comes. Instead, they shall
fight against Him---at Armageddon---and resist His rule. Christ
shall rebuke strong nations afar off UNTIL (Moffatt translation)
they recognize these truths. Christ will have to send famine, and
then plagues, in successive YEARS, upon the Egyptians, before they
will acknowledge Him as rightful RULER (Zech. 14).
