dollar had to go into those campaigns. THE RESULT IS THAT THE
TABERNACLE IS BEGINNING TO DETERIORATE, because it is not finished.
Actually, this is a disgrace to the Church of God!
The time has come when we cannot put off any longer the
finishing of God's Tabernacle.
Ancient Israel, in the time of Kings David and Solomon, was
just about the smallest nation in the world. Yet God moved them to
build in Jerusalem the finest, most fabulous building ever erected
on earth! Thru obedience to God, The Eternal prospered them so
they were able to finance this.
Brethren, what's wrong with us, today? Ancient Israel was
just a carnal, physical people. We, today, are a SPIRIT-begotten,
and
supposedly a Spirit-FILLED people. Are we unable to finish this
inexpensive, rough wood-constructed building? This Tabernacle we
are building would compare with the Temple ancient Israel built
about like a modern little cracker-box would compare to the Empire
State building in New York. WHAT'S WRONG, today? Do we, after
all, lack the real POWER of God?
When ancient Israel, in the wilderness, in Moses' day, needed
to build a tabernacle for God, and Moses sent out a proclamation,
those fleshly, physical Israelites responded so overwhelmingly that
Moses had to send out another proclamation asking them to stop
sending in so much! Today, WE are supposed to be a SPIRITUAL
Church. We are supposed to be really ON FIRE for God and His work.
But ARE WE? A R E Y O U ?
God is putting us to the TEST. I have to ask you to RUSH to
us, by return mail, and every week until the Festival, the LARGEST
extra offering, OVER AND ABOVE TITHES AND USUAL OFFERINGS FOR GOD'S
WORK, for this Special TABERNACLE FUND.
REMEMBER! This must be extra--IN ADDITION to tithes and
regular offerings for the work. The work cannot suffer or stop
just to finish the Tabernacle. So mark this part of what you send
in as SPECIAL for the TABERNACLE FUND. Specify what part of your
check, money order, or currency bills, are for the TABERNACLE FUND.
Send in your tithes and regular offerings just the same. Send this
as an additional, SPECIAL offering just for this purpose. And
HURRY! Use AIR-MAIL!
