ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL TRIP
by
Herbert W. Armstrong
NOVEMBER 14, 1980
Greetings from our home in the sky, 7 1/2 miles above the Mediterra
nean Sea, homeward bound after a strenuous and extraordinarily successful
trip.
On Thursday October 23, we had a luncheon in London with the minis
ters from the London area. Sabbath the 25th I preached to the brethren
of the London area. Unfortunately they did not receive the live televised
transmission of the last Great Day at the end of the Feast of Taberancles,
and the ministers had requested I bring them that message. More than a
thousand brethren were present, including a delegation from the Continent.
The following Monday night, October 27, I spoke for some 40 minutes
to a large banquet in Cairo of some 300 leading people of Egypt. I felt
that I was "right on target" that night, and they heard the Gospel of the
Kingdom--and the world rule in PEACE--living the way of God's spiritual
Law, outflowing LOVE instead of hostile competition.
Two men there from New York had read my ads in the Wall Street
Journal. They were in the investment business, and in affluent financial
condition. They liked the Wall Street Journal ads--but disagreed with
my speech--especially what I said about outflowing LOVE doing away with
hostile competition. The "GET" way of life had profited them, and they
disagreed that this world is full of evils. It's a pretty good world,
they told Mr. Rader. They love this world as it is. I'm afraid that
all the rest of us on earth are out-of-step, except just those two
SATISFIED men!
We flew to Jerusalem from Cairo. Ours was the first flight from
Cairo airport to Jerusalem airport since the seven-day war--a definite
FIRST. Other planes now can fly from Cairo to Tel Aviv, but not to
Jerusalem.
On Saturday night, October 25, by the way, I talked from London to
the a.m. Sabbath service at Pasadena. It is my understanding that though
I spoke to them live, it was recorded at Pasadena and replayed at the
afternoon service.
Then on Saturday night, November 1, I spoke from Jerusalem live again
to the Pasadena auditorium congregations.
On Thursday, October 30, I spoke at a banquet hosted by the Mayor of
Jerusalem, Teddy Kollek, and on Sunday, November 2, we had a performance
at the Arab or Old City side of Jerusalem of the ICCY youths, staged by
