Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
Again I am writing you from England.
I wonder if you realize how fast time is running out on us.
Right now the nations of this world are sparring, maneuvering
against one another, each struggling for advantage, before the one
great final cataclysmic BLAST that could erase all human life from
this earth.
But you and I know that GOD ALMIGHTY is working out a
PURPOSE here below! He is not going to allow one or two MADMEN
like Mr. Khrushchev to wipe out the humanity which God Himself put
on this earth for a purpose!
Yet our great living Leader, Jesus Christ, did say that this
present world--this present order of society which God-defying MAN
has established--is now fast coming to an END! The END OF THIS
WORLD IS VERY NEAR!
And that is why Christ has called YOU and me to this
tremendous Mission in which we are now engaged. Jesus said: "This
Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached and published in all the
world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the END come"
(Mat. 24:14; Mark 13:10). We are very near the END of this
world--this order of strife, war, confusion and heartache.
This Gospel of the KINGDOM of God--the RULE--the GOVERNMENT
of God--is the Message God sent to mankind by Jesus Christ. Man
hated that Message. They crucified Jesus for preaching it.
Because He proclaimed the ADVANCE good news of the world-ruling
government of God to bring peace, joy, happiness and salvation to
mankind, they said He was trying to overthrow Caesar's government.
They said He was a subversive. They wanted no rule but Caesar's.
They martyred most or all of the Apostles for proclaiming
that same GOOD NEWS. Then the world (our western world) rejected
that Gospel, but accepted the NAME of Christ, and began forming
their own gospel ABOUT Christ. They continued (in the Gentile
world) in their pagan beliefs and practices, and gave their
religion a new name--"Christianity." But it was NOT the Gospel
Christ preached. It was NOT the Gospel Paul preached. It was not
