Hosea Summarizes It
Yet to Find the True Riches
Just as God has bestowed on us such material blessings
as never before came to any nations, now to correct us so we may enjoy
such blessings, He is going to bring upon our peoples such national disaster
as has never before struck any nation! Many prophecies describe this!
The Tremendous Prophecy of Micah
An important additional proof of modern Israel's identity
is found in a fantastic, detailed and most specific prophecy found in Micah
5:7-15. It is speaking specifically about the "remnant" of Israel
- modern Israel today - wherever it is. It describes the wealth,
the beneficent dominance among nations, and then the coming downfall of
the American and British Commonwealth peoples in detail!
Notice: "And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the
midst of many people [nations] as a dew from the Lord, as the showers upon
the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men"
(verse 7). Remember that dew and showers are absolutely necessary
to agricultural productivity and are a symbol of national BLESSING and
WEALTH from God.
Continue: "And the remnant of Jacob shall be among
the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who,
if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can
deliver" (verse 8).
Again, this symbolism describes the last generation
of Israel as a GREAT POWER - as a lion among the other nations of the earth.
"Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries,
and all thine enemies shall be cut off" (verse 9). They WERE cut
off from the beginning of God's birthright blessing on America and Britain
starting about 1803, through the First World War, the Second World War,
until the turning point of the Korean War at the end of 1950.
Since that time, however, these blessings are surely
being taken away - and neither America nor Britain has come out on top
in any major skirmish since that time!
So this prophecy shows that at the very time we
were receiving God's blessings, we were a tremendous BLESSING to the other
nations of the earth - for it is our peoples who have rescued the other
nations of the world time and again through the Marshall Plan, the Point
Four program, the Alliance for Progress, the hundreds of millions of bushels
of wheat for India and other starving nations, etc. The Hoover Program
saved up vast food supplies after World War I. It saved millions
in other nations from starvation!
Anciently Joseph saved up the wheat and food and
made it available to others. MODERN Joseph did also. BUT -
we are stiff-necked and rebellious toward God and His law, while our ancient
forefather Joseph served and obeyed God with a whole heart.
It is our peoples who have been like a "lion" among
the other nations of the earth - preserving in two great world wars the
peace of the world and stability for all human life on this planet!
Yet, in this detailed prophecy, God says: "And it shall
come to pass IN THAT DAY, saith the Lord, that I will cut off thy horses"
["war-horses," Moffatt translation] - tanks, ships, rockets - "out of the
midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots: and I will cut off the
cities [by hydrogen bombs?] of thy land, and throw down all thy strong
holds" (verses 10-11).
God says He will do this! GOD determines
the outcome of wars (Ps. 33:10-19).
How plain can you get? Here God identifies
the GREAT peoples of the earth who are the most wealthy and beneficent,
the most POWERFUL - yet at the very time their power reaches its zenith,
He suddenly "breaks" the pride of their power (see Leviticus 26:19), cuts
off their implements of war and destroys their cities! Why?
Because, as the prophet continues to explain, we
have too much "witchcraft" and too many "soothsayers" - false ministers
- in our lands who refuse to preach with authority the commandments and
ways of the living God!
Therefore, God will punish and destroy us - unless
we repent - just before and leading up to the utter destruction to come
"upon the heathen" (verse 15), which will take place at the very END of
this age and at the second return of Jesus Christ as King of kings!
There is no other people that even remotely fulfills
this great prophecy! But the American and British Commonwealth peoples
fulfill it precisely!
As the "pride of our power" continues to be BROKEN,
as the British continue to lose their foreign sea gates and possessions
around the earth, as America signs away ownership of the Panama Canal -
control over this vital sea gate - as our gold supply drains away from
this nation, weather upsets increase, this focal prophecy alone represents
giant PROOF as to where the modern "remnant" of the peoples of Israel resides
today!
It will now be made plain - from God's own warning prophecies
- that this greatest multiplied intensity of corrective punishment will
fall on Britain and America - including British peoples in Commonwealth
countries. And it will strike them down first!
But they are not the only nations to suffer corrective
disaster. God is Creator of all other nations, too! God is
concerned about the people and races we have called "heathen." They,
too, are human. They, too, are made in God's own likeness, with the
potential of being molded into God's spiritual and character IMAGE!
God sent the apostle Paul to Gentile nations!
All mankind has rebelled against, rejected, and
turned from God and His ways! There can never be peace on earth until
all nations will have been turned to God and His ways, ruled by His supreme
government!
All mankind, right now, is caught in the vortex
of the swiftly accelerating crisis marking the utter destruction of this
world's man-built, Satan-inspired civilization.
Through Jeremiah God says: "A noise shall come
even to the ends of the earth; for the Eternal hath a controversy with
the nations, he will plead with all flesh" - how? Right now The World
Tomorrow program carries His peaceful pleading worldwide, but the world,
except for scattered individuals, does not heed this kind of "pleading."
The next words tell HOW God is now about to plead: ". . .he will give them
that are wicked to the sword, saith the Eternal. . . Behold, EVIL shall
go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up
from the coasts of the earth" (Jer. 25:31-32).
God will use a Nazi-Facist Europe to punish Britain-America.
Then He will use the Communist hordes to wipe out the Roman Europe.
We are entering a time of world trouble - utter
WORLD chaos! There is war, strife, violence in Asia, Africa, South
America - as well as Europe and North America. The population explosion
is a worldwide threat to human existence. Crime, violence, sickness,
disease, inequality, poverty, filth, squalor, degeneration, suffering -
these infest ALL nations!
But, as salvation is given first to Israel, so
is corrective punishment!
Notice Jeremiah's prophecy:
"For thus saith the Eternal; We have heard a voice
of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether
a man doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with
his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned
into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like
it: it is even the time of Jacob's TROUBLE" (Jer. 30:5-7).
Remember - in passing on the birthright to the
two sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh (Gen. 48:16), Jacob said, "Let
MY NAME be named on them" - on Ephraim and Manasseh - who today are Britain
and America. This tells ON WHOM this most terrible of national calamities
is to fall - on Britain and America!
But now when is it to fall? Do not assume
this is referring to anything that did happen to ancient Israel.
Read right on - see WHEN this prophecy is to be fulfilled!
Continue in Jeremiah 30:7: ". . .it is even the
time of JACOB'S trouble; but he shall be saved out of it." (After he has
learned his lesson IN it!) Continuing from RSV, "And it shall come to pass
in that day, says the Eternal of hosts, that I will break the YOKE from
off their neck [yoke of slavery], and I will burst their bonds, and strangers
shall no more make servants of them. But they shall serve the Eternal
their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them." (David,
at the time of the RESURRECTION - at the very time of Christ's COMING!)
So the time is just prior to Christ's COMING -
coming to liberate our peoples - even as Moses liberated ancient Israel
from Egyptian slavery.
Other prophecies speak of this same time of national calamity
greater than any before. The pivotal New Testament prophecy is that
of Jesus on the Mount of Olives - recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and
Luke 21.
The apostles had asked Jesus privately WHEN His
second coming would occur - and the END of this world and the beginning
of the happy world tomorrow. Jesus said the SIGN by which we might
know when this is very NEAR would be that His original gospel of the Kingdom
of God would be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations (Matt.
24:14). But what else - just before His coming?
Jesus continued: "For then shall be GREAT TRIBULATION,
such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor
ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should
no flesh be saved [alive]: but for the elect's sake those days shall be
shortened" (Matt. 24:21-22).
Here is described the greatest time of TROUBLE
- TRIBULATION - in all history, or ever to be. Jeremiah described
it as "Jacob's trouble," so great "that none is like it."
Daniel described the same most severe trouble of
all history. Speaking of a time now in our immediate future, Daniel
foretold: "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince [archangel]
which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time
of TROUBLE, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same
time" (Dan. 12:1).
The same most intense punishment on Britain and
America. And WHEN? Continue, same verse, ". . .and at that
time thy people shall be delivered [from this enslaved trouble], every
one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that
sleep [are dead] in the dust of the earth shall awake [RESURRECTION], some
to everlasting life. . ." (verses 1-2).
The time is just before the RESURRECTION of the
just, at Christ's coming. As Moses delivered the ancient Israelites
from Egyptian slavery, so CHRIST is coming to deliver modern Britain and
America from the now-impending Babylonish slavery. (See Deuteronomy
18:15; Acts 7:37; Jeremiah 23:5-8.)
Jeremiah described it as a "YOKE" on the necks
of our peoples. WHOSE "YOKE" of slavery? Isaiah tells us!
In verse 1 of Isaiah 47 the prophetic message is
addressed to the daughter of Babylon. Not the Babylon of ancient
days. Not Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon of 600 years before Christ - but
a DAUGHTER of that Babylon, now, in our twentieth century. In prophecy
a woman, or a daughter, means a CHURCH - a religious organization.
This particular "lady" of this prophecy is pictured
as a lewd harlot and "a lady of kingdoms." That is, a great CHURCH
ruling over nations. This same modern "female" Babylon is pictured
also in the 17th chapter of Revelation - there called a "great whore,"
sitting on or ruling over "many waters," which are interpreted in verse
15 as "peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." Her name
is there given as "mystery religion - the same religion of the ancient
Babylon - but now grown GREAT and ruling over many nations of different
languages.
Her KINGDOMS over which she ruled were called "The
Holy Roman Empire" of A.D. 554 to 1814, briefly revived by Mussolini and
SOON to have a last and final "resurrection" by a political-military union
of ten nations in Europe (Rev. 17:8-14).
And the TIME of this "great whore" sitting astride
the political-military "beast," they shall fight in war against the glorified
CHRIST at His second coming (Rev. 17:14).
Now back to Isaiah 47. God says to this mistress
of kingdoms: "I was wroth with my people [Israel - Britain-America], I
have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand [in tortured
slavery]: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very
heavily laid thy yoke" (verse 6).
That YOKE of SLAVERY without mercy is to be laid
on the U.S. and Britain by the coming united nations of Europe! It
has started already, through the economic Common Market and the recently
implemented EMS (European Monetary System). Its leaders talk continually
of POLITICAL union - which means, also, military. So far they have
been unable to bring about full political union. This will be made
possible by the "good offices" of the Vatican, who alone can be the symbol
of unity to which they can look. Two popes already have offered their
"good offices" toward such union.
The prophecy does not literally say so, but in
all probability, by present indications, the head of this new WORLD POWER
will be in central Europe. And it will precipitate World War III.
And this time it will be allowed to succeed!
Many of the ancient Assyrians migrated NORTHWEST
from their ancient land south of the Caspian Sea - and settled in central
Europe, just as the House of Israel migrated from the land of their captivity
to the coastlands of northwest Europe. So when you read about Assyria
in prophecies pertaining to NOW, they refer to central Europe!
So, history is to repeat! It was ancient
Assyria which invaded the House of Israel, and carried them out of Samaria
into the Assyrian's own land.
And where, today, are the ancient BABYLONIANS -
the Chaldeans? They migrated west and settled in ITALY. Their
religion was the Assyrian-Babylonian MYSTERY religion. It is going
to come as a breathtaking, awesome, shocking surprise when the world learns
that one Simon, the sorcerer of Samaria in the time of the original apostles,
leader of the BABYLONIAN MYSTERY religion having the title of PATER or
PETER, meaning PAPA, actually appropriated the NAME of Christ and the Christian
principle of GRACE, which he turned into LICENSE, doing away with GOD'S
LAW (Jude 4) and started what is today called "Christianity." How
astonished the world will be to discover that it is NOT, and never was,
the outgrowth of the CHURCH OF GOD, founded by Jesus Christ and His apostles!
This knowledge will soon burst on an incredulous
world as a BOMBSHELL! People will be SHOCKED to learn how they have
been DECEIVED! When God's time comes, the "newsbomb" will be exploded!
What Is the Great Tribulation?
Now it becomes painfully clear! The Great Tribulation
is this sevenfold intensity of corrective punishment which God is now soon
going to lay on Britain-America!
Notice a few brief excerpts from Ezekiel's description
of it!
"A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence,
and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third
part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third
part [the remainder] into all the winds [slavery], and I will draw out
a sword after them. THUS shall MINE ANGER be accomplished, and I
will cause MY FURY [last PLAGUES] to rest upon them, and I will be comforted:
and they shall know that I the Eternal have spoken it in my zeal, when
I have accomplished my fury in them" (Ezek. 5:12-13).
Further: "In all your dwelling places the CITIES
shall be laid waste" (Ezek. 6:6). This could never have happened
until the hydrogen bomb! Cities laid completely WASTE. ALL
of them - "in all your dwelling places."
Now let the prophet Joel add more.
Joel's prophecy was for the far, far future - verses
1-3 of chapter 1. Then he shows a plague of different kinds of locusts,
devouring the fruits and food crops - stripping off bark from fruit trees.
"He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean
bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white" (Joel 1:7).
Continue - now comes devastating DROUGHT: "The
field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine
is dried up, the oil languisheth. . . because the harvest of the field
is perished. . .all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is
withered away from the sons of men" (verses 10-12). This is to happen
just prior to the terrible plagues of "the DAY OF THE LORD" (verses 14-15).
Continue the prophecy: "The seed is rotten under
their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down;
for the corn is withered. How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle
are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are
made desolate. O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire [hot sun]
hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned
all the trees of the field. The beasts of the field cry also unto
thee: for the rivers of water are dried up. . ." (verses 17-20).
Next - Military Invasion and Defeat!
Next in time order, beginning chapter 2, the alarm of
WAR: "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion [alarm of WAR], and sound an alarm in
my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the
DAY OF THE LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand" (verse 1).
"Therefore also now, saith the Eternal, turn ye
even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and
with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto
the Eternal your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and
of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil" (verses 12-13).
AT LAST! - Repentance in Tribulation!
Once God does add these repeated SEVENFOLD-INTENSITY of
corrective punishments on our peoples - when they have had their wealth,
prosperity, their land - the birthright and everything they possessed and
set their hearts on TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM - AT LAST they will be humbled
and will cry out to God for mercy and deliverance!
Right now GOD'S WARNING MESSAGE of this terrifying
greatest trouble of history is being THUNDERED over The World Tomorrow
program into ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD - as a witness! Some two and
a half million are reading it in The Plain Truth!
We know only too well that the people as a whole
will not heed! We are grateful that God is laying it on the hearts
of a few thousand every year to LISTEN (hearken - to use biblical Authorized
Version language) and to take it seriously - to REPENT and come to God
through Jesus Christ as Savior.
Yes, a few thousand every year - thousands PRECIOUS
beyond estimate! But NOT the people as a whole. Not NOW!
We know full well that the real HARVEST of our
labors in GOD'S WORK, preparing the way for Christ's coming, is NOT NOW!
But when everything these peoples have has been taken from them - when
they are slaves in foreign lands - when they are cruelly treated, beaten,
unmercifully even martyred and put to death - THEN millions of those who
remain alive WILL cry out to God - WILL repent - WILL turn to live GOD'S
WAY. That is when the REAL HARVEST FROM THIS PRESENT WORK OF GOD
will be reaped.
Millions, then, will remember they heard Christ's
TRUE message over The World Tomorrow - read it in The Plain Truth!
Then they will say: "That was the true message
sent by GOD after all!" Many will take it lightly now - just as Israelites
of old took God's message to them through His prophets. But when
these things really HAPPEN - when people realize NO ONE ELSE warned them
- then they will KNOW just WHO are the real FALSE prophets today!
Then they will KNOW which is God's truth!
The pitiful, pitiful tragedy of it! This
realization will come TOO LATE to save the many from this repeated sevenfold
punishment! BUT, for millions, not too late for their salvation -
for God's GIFT of ETERNAL LIFE!
Notice the prophecies of this very thing! Return
for a moment to Jeremiah's prophecy. The 30th chapter, from which
I quoted, ends with these words: ". . .in the latter days ye shall consider
it." The prophecy is for OUR TIME, now!
Read right on in chapter 31:
"At the same time, saith the Eternal, will I be
the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
Thus saith the Eternal, The people which were left of the sword [those
still then alive] found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when he went
to find him rest" (marginal rendering). Or, as in the RSV, ". . .when
Israel sought for rest, the Eternal appeared to him from afar." Or,
as in the Moffatt translation: ". . .Those who survive the sword shall
find grace in the dungeon." That is, in captivity and in slavery!
Continue, "Again I will build thee, and thou shalt
be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets,
and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. . . They shall
come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause
them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way [God's law!], wherein
they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my
firstborn [birthright-holder]. Hear the word of the Eternal, O ye
nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered
Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock" (Jer.
31:4, 9-10).
Later Jeremiah was inspired to write: "In those
days, and in that time, saith the Eternal, the children of Israel shall
come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they
shall go, and seek the Eternal their God. They shall ask the way
to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves
to the Eternal in a perpetual covenant [the NEW COVENANT] THAT SHALL NOT
BE FORGOTTEN. MY PEOPLE HATH BEEN LOST SHEEP: their shepherds [professing
Christian ministers] have caused them to go astray. . ." (Jer. 50:4-6).
Later in this chapter: "In those days, and in that
time, saith the Eternal, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and
there shall be none: and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found:
for I will pardon them whom I reserve [leave as a remnant]" (verse 20).
This whole matter if Israel's rebellion against RIGHT
WAYS, of God's driving them out, divorcing them, withholding the bestowal
of the birthright for 2520 years - and of Israel's final redemption after
the three additional sevenfold more intense corrective punishments - is
summarized by the prophet Hosea.
But Hosea also becomes very concise, direct, and
specific in detailing Britain-America's national ATTITUDE right now!
To picture this whole course of infidelity, rejection,
withholding of blessing, extreme correction, and final awakening of Israel,
God directed the prophet to marry a whore - to picture what Israel was
to God. She bore him a son. God instructed Hosea to name the
son Jesreel, meaning "God will disperse." For God said, ". . .I will.
. .cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. . .I will break the
bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel" (Hos. 1:4-5). The kingdom
- the government - did cease at the Assyrian captivity - 721-718 B.C.
Hosea's harlot wife conceived again, and bore a
daughter. God instructed that she be named "Lo-ruha-mah," meaning
"no mercy" for, saith God, ". . .I will no more have mercy upon the house
of Israel; but I will utterly take them away" (verse 6).
Later this lewd wife had another son. "Call
his name," saith God, "Lo-ammi [meaning "not my people"]: for ye are not
my people, and I will not be your God" (verse 9).
"Yet," continued the Eternal, "the number of the children
of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor
numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said
unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, YE are
the sons of the living God. Then shall the children of Judah [the
Jews] and the children of Israel ["Lost Ten Tribes"] be gathered together,
and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land
[spread out far beyond their land - Moffatt translation]: for great shall
be the day of Jezreel" (Hosea 1:10-11).
There, in brief, is a picture of the whole course
of God's dealing with Israel. Today, our people say they are NOT
"Israel." That is, NOT God's people! They think that the Jews,
and the Jews only, are Israel. But very soon, now, they are going
to KNOW their identity. Thousands will learn it from this very book
you are now reading. The MILLIONS will learn it at Christ's coming!
In Hosea 2, God says, in regard to our now having
possessed the unprecedented WEALTH of the birthright promise: "For she
did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and MULTIPLIED her
silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal. Therefore will I return,
and TAKE AWAY my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof,
and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness [her
SIN]" (verses 8-9).
But finally, when the correction becomes INTENSE
enough, our peoples will acknowledge their transgressions, WILL REPENT,
WILL SEEK THEIR GOD!
God's People - At Last!
"And it shall be at that day, saith the Eternal, that
thou shalt call me Ishi ["MY HUSBAND"]; and shalt call me no more Baali
["MY LORD"]" (verse 16).
"And," concludes this second chapter, "I will have
mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which
were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art MY
GOD" (verse 23).
Then begins GOD'S MESSAGE TO OUR PEOPLES TODAY
- especially to the British peoples!
"Hear the word of the Eternal, ye children of Israel
[you people of the British Commonwealth and the United States!]: for the
Eternal hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there
is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing,
and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break
out, and blood toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land [of America
and Britain] mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish.
. ." (Hosea 4:1-3).
To the modern ministers in the churches of Britain
and America, God says: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:
because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou
shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God,
I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so they
sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame" (verses
6-7).
Speaking of the coming manyfold INTENSITY of corrective
PUNISHMENT, God says, ". . .in their affliction they will seek my early"
(Hos. 5:15).
To Britain Today!
Speaking of modern Britain God says: "Israel [Britain]
indeed is STUBBORN as a restive heifer; how can the Eternal feed them now.
. .?" (Hos. 4:16, Moffatt translation.) God "feeds" His people today
with HIS WORD - HIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD - His WARNING of what
is quickly to come! The British government would not allow any broadcasting
facilities within its jurisdiction that might be used by God's servants
to proclaim GOD'S MESSAGE OF THIS HOUR to the British peoples!
But GOD was determined to get His message to the
British!
So, the first week in 1953, God's message started
getting into Britain from Europe - when The World Tomorrow program began
going out on the superpowered voice of Radio Luxembourg!
When Radio Luxembourg was no longer effective for
this message, God raised up broadcasting stations on SHIPS, ANCHORED JUST
OUTSIDE BRITAIN'S JURISDICTION. The World Tomorrow WAS THEN THUNDERED
over all of Britain DAILY, from SEVEN of these ships. They were not
illegal. They violated no law of man. They DID proclaim faithfully
THE LAW OF God! But the British authorities falsely called them "pirate"
ships. They were NOT pirates. They were not marauders.
They did not invade the land and pillage or steal. They harmed no
one!
But most governments of MAN would like to CONTROL
what their PEOPLE hear or do not hear! They want to CONTROL your
thinking for you!
The British government and the national Church
of England would LEGALIZE the revolting perversion of homosexuality!
They would CONDONE heinous SINS, but no door inside the U.K. is open to
broadcasting GOD'S MESSAGE!
But God DID get His message to Britain.
God Said It! God Did It!
God has said, "Surely the Lord Eternal will do nothing,
but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7),
and in the verse just before this, "Shall a trumpet be blown in the city,
and the people not be afraid?"
God has said, IN YOUR BIBLE, that He would get
the warning to His people Ephraim-BRITAIN. He has foretold: "Ephraim
shall be desolate in the day of rebuke [and Britain is rapidly headed toward
that prophesied desolation now]: among the tribes of Israel have I made
known that which shall surely be" (Hos. 5:9).
Also, God said of Britain and America: "Ephraim,
he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned [half-baked].
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray
hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not. And the pride
of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the Eternal
their God, nor seek him for all this. Ephraim also is like a silly
dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria [Germany].
When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down
as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, AS THEIR CONGREGATION
HATH HEARD" - from The World Tomorrow broadcast warning! (Hos. 7:8-12.)
Yes, God said long ago He would GET THE WARNING
into the hearing of Britain. Even though He had to do it FROM OUTSIDE
BRITISH JURISDICTION, God moved miraculously to get His message thundered
to all Britain.
Britain has been warned!
And the British government has NO POWER whatsoever
to prevent the manyfold INTENSITY of corrective PUNISHMENT a loving GOD
is going to cause to strike!
GOD'S PURPOSE SHALL STAND!
They Will Realize!
Some day, people will wake up to REALIZE this is the Work
of GOD!
Of British churchianity, God says, "The Ephraimites
are wedding to idolatry; LET THEM ALONE! - a drunken band, a lustful company,
in love with shameful worship, not with my glory. When the whirlwind
sweeps them off, they shall feel shame for their altars" (Hos. 4:17-19
- Moffatt translation).
God says, "I withdraw to my own place, till they
feel their iniquity and seek my face, searching for me in their distress,
crying, 'Let us return to the Eternal, for he has torn us, he will heal
us, he has wounded, he will bind us up: in a day or two [Authorized Version
- after two days] he will revive us, and on the third day he will raise
us to live under his care. . .'" (Hos. 5:15; 6:2, Moffatt translation).
The coming Great Tribulation probably will last about 2 1/2 years - the
"Day of the Lord" about one year - then comes the RESURRECTION and second
coming of Christ!
The entire book of Hosea carries a blistering message
and warning to the BRITISH PEOPLE TODAY!
You Can Escape This Punishment!
God warns us through prophecy that our sins are fast increasing.
And now the day of reckoning is here! The foreign sword always has
attacked us. In this fearful, awesome atomic age, World War III will
start with nuclear devastation unleashed on London, Birmingham, Manchester,
Liverpool, New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh,
without warning! God help our nations to wake up before it's too
late!
Yes, we are God's chosen people ISRAEL! Think
what that means! Chosen, not for favors while we defy our God, but
chosen for SERVICE we have failed to perform.
We should shout for joy at the discovery of our
true identity - and we should be brought to REPENT - and to TURN TO GOD
- and to get back of this crusade by radio and by printed word to WARN
our people, and to call upon God in REAL heartrending prayer for divine
deliverance.
The sevenfold INTENSITY of punishment now soon
to come upon the American and British peoples is simply the prophesied
GREAT TRIBULATION! It will be the most frightfully intense PUNISHMENT,
and time of TROUBLE, ever suffered by any people!
Yet YOU need not suffer in it.
This terrifyingly severe PUNISHMENT is simply the
CORRECTION our peoples have made necessary to bring them to the ways of
living which cause desired blessings, instead of terrible curses.
It is CORRECTION - for the peoples' GOOD!
As GOD LIVES, this punishment is soon to strike!
This book has given the WARNING from God and His Word!
Will the U.S. and British nations HEED? They
could yet avert this colossal national tragedy, IF they would!
But if you - you now reading this, you as an individual
- will be corrected, voluntarily, before God lets this indescribably horrendous
chastening strike; if YOU come to real REPENTANCE, realizing HOW TERRIBLY
WRONG you have been; if you can see yourself as you really are - as a rebellious
wrong, evil person; and if you can SURRENDER to the loving, all-merciful,
yet all-POWERFUL GOD - and make it an UNCONDITIONAL surrender, coming to
Almighty GOD through the living Jesus Christ as personal Savior - then
NO PLAGUE shall come near you! (Ps. 91:8-11), but you shall be accounted
worthy to escape all these frightful things and to STAND before Christ
at His return (Luke 21:35-36).
Those in the true Body of Christ shall be taken
to a place of SAFETY, until this Tribulation be over (Rev. 3:10-11, applying
to those faithful in GOD'S WORK now going to the world; Rev. 12:14; Isa.
26:20).
But you must make your own decision - and to NEGLECT
doing so is to have made the WRONG decision!
Most people, we know only too well, will take this
SERIOUS WARNING lightly - put it out of mind - turn to other immediate
interests of no importance by comparison! That is why a loving, just,
all-wise, all-POWERFUL GOD is going to take away from them these unimportant
counter-interests, and apply such intensified CORRECTION that they shall,
finally, come to their senses, and turn to Him and His WAY which will bring
them eternal happiness and abundant blessings!
But YOU need not have to suffer this intensified
correction, greater than any trouble ever suffered by humans.
By God's direction and authority, I have laid the
TRUTH before you! To neglect it will be tragic beyond imagination!
To heed it will bring blessings, happiness and GLORY beyond description!
The decision is now YOURS!
