Things are moving very quickly in the nation shaking events of this troubled world. Every day takes us one day nearer to Christ’s return, the rapture of the church and the end of the world. Each hour takes us into new crises, new destruction, new heartbreak and new sorrow. Many of the terrible things which are happening now before our very eyes had been prophesied and predicted by the prophets and apostles of our Lord thousands of years ago.

One could rightly describe the days in which we live as perilous, troublesome, momentous, wicked, awesome, eventful, history making and prophetic. The days in which we live are trying days full of fear, presidiums and sadness for many; for the true Christian however, these days should be days of anticipation, expectation, joy and hope as we think of the soon return of our Lord.

Time marches on, no one able to stop it, and with it marches prophecy - marching on to the fulfillment of that prophecy.

As we read the daily newspapers, we find that today is like reading from the Books of the Prophets in the Bible. David, Ezekiel, Isaiah and many of the other prophets of the Old Testament many years ago, together with the apostles in the New Testament, foretold the events which are happening around us now. Any student of the Bible surely can see the handwriting on the wall in regard to the wickedness of mankind. It is obvious that time is short, that the second coming of Christ and the Judgment Day are approaching soon.

The Bible tells us that in the end times, "Men’s hearts will fail them for fear, and for looking for those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken." (Luke 21:26) The Scripture tell us in the preceding verse some of the reasons that men’s hearts shall fail them - "There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring."

Certainly we see all these things happening about us today, and even more will take place as we come nearer to the end. Regardless of how dark the picture looks, we who know the Lord Jesus Christ, and are filled with the holy Ghost, do not frighten easily because of our belief in Him and the Holy Word of God. This together with our unshakable hope of the soon and glorious appearing of our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ keeps us from being fearful of what is to come.

I believe it is a God given opportunity and a great privilege to be alive in the midnight hour of this closing generation of the Grace of God upon the earth. What an opportunity, what a privilege and what a responsibility is ours to bring the glorious message of a Risen and Living Saviour to the ends of the earth. What a tremendous responsibility is our since we have so much light from God and so many open doors into which we can go with this message of life. We must not falter; we dare not fail, we cannot ignore the pleas from the hungry and thirsty souls who are begging us to come over and help them, before it is too late. May God supply the need so that we can give ourselves freely in Gospel Crusades, in Radio Broadcasting and in the printing of millions of pieces of literature to ship around the world to the lost and dying.

We are not responsible for the generation of our fathers or for a future generation (should Christ tarry) - we are responsible for the people who are alive today. We must reach them with the Gospel message before it is too late. Will you write me a letter assuring me of your prayers and continued sacrificial support to help evangelize the people of this world?

I am absolutely thrilled at the prospect of the great things which are in store for us who are servants of the living God, daring to believe the entirety of His Word, in this awful generation.

I thank God with all my heart, soul and spirit that He has seen fit to save my wretched soul, baptize me with his divine Holy Spirit and divinely call me into His ministry. My heart is filled and my sould is thrilled to know that He cares for me, that he loves me and desires to use me. Hallelujah. Also, on the other side of the ledger, I am happy to report that I am also anxious to do the work of the Lord and to allow Him to lead and direct me into areas and avenues where He would want me to go. My prayer for the past 12 years has been, and still is, "Here I am Lord, send me!" Please pray for me that I may ever stay in the center of his will.

Jesus in Matthew 24:32-34, "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh; So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Also, in Luke 21:24-32 the Bible says, "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive unto all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars: and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spake to them in a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled."

Jesus Christ in these passages spoke of the budding of the fig tree and of the last generation of the Grace of God upon this earth. All Bible scholars who believe the Scriptures agree that the budding of the fig tree was definitely the return of the Jew to Israel and the rebirth of Israel in 1948, after nearly 2000 years of exile. When Prime Minister David Ben Gurion hoisted the Israeli flag and read the Declaration of Independence of the Sovereign Free State of Israel in the Art Museum in Tel Aviv May 14, 1948 at 4:00 p.m.

I am convinced that at that moment God ushered in the final generation of the Grace of God upon the earth and that Jesus Christ will come again sometime within this last generation.

The Scripture tells us that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2 Timothy 3:1) This certainly is a picture of this generation. These are treacherously dangerous and perilous times - murder, rape, violence and crime stalk the streets of our cities as nuclear stations stand ready to pull the trigger that would begin a 3rd world war and could bring death to a multiplied millions the world over.

This world stands on a powder keg - almost anything could topple the scales in the wrong direction. Almost hourly, and definitely daily - new protests, demonstrations, riots and insurrections are taking place around the world. The world awaits and watches breathlessly hour by hour and moment by moment for fresh news of violence and bloodshed.

The days in which we are living are wicked days. Gross immorality and sex perversion has taken a tremendous toll of young lives in this present civilization. Our western civilization is being demoralized to the extent that many of our young people have no will to work, no desire to achieve worthwhile goals, no initiative to help themselves or their fellowman. People have lost respect for themselves, their parents, governmental authority and even God Almighty. Many of the modern day hippies and beakniks have no will to day anything useful, but have instead become demoralized human beings too lazy to work, wash, shave or even keep clean. They have become slaves to LSD, marijuana, heroin, liquor and illusive, demon inspired and perverted thoughts.

I have heard reports that is Russia there is no pornographic literature available on the news stands, but billboards advertising how foolish it is to be intoxicated. One billboard carried the following:

On the billboard was a picture of a drunken man with an empty bottle in his hand and the caption "DON’T BE A FOOL". They will not allow pornographic literature on the news stands and yet I am told that it is the Communist dollar that keeps the pornographic filth flowing into news stands in the U.S. and the free world. They know that if they can demoralize us, they will conquer us easily because we, by our demoralization and corruption will defeat ourselves.

Remember the great Empires of Greece and Rome and how they fell because of moral corruption. Look at how England is falling, and falling fast, because of her sin - the U.S.A. and Canada are close behind. Oh, God help us.

Not only do we have wickedness and sinfulness in the world today that is unprecedented in other generation, but we have a double barrel evil day here with the sins of the Antediluvian age (days of Noah) and also the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah (Luke 17:26-30). The days were are living in are tragic with things happening that bring great suffering, pain, anguish and sorrow to many people.

On the domestic scene we have the tragedy of broken homes, divorce and remarriage, with children left to shift for themselves. We have the tragedy of little children being assaulted and raped by demon possessed perverts and sadists. Women are regularly strangled, raped and murdered. Entire families are murdered by people who have given their minds over to the evil spirits. These evil spirits compel people to rape and kill and destroy. We are also seeing drastic increases in drug addiction and suicides.

In the political field we see the tragedy of assassination of character by the press media. We see the brainwashing of people by the television and newspaper media. Many good men have had their reputations ruined and had to resign due to the media taking stories and twisting them to influence the public. This generation has seen the hand of Satan at work through a Marxist with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1964, and again, no doubt through other Communists, in the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy. No one but a Communist or demon inspired person would kill Martin Luther King, realizing full well the terrible repercussions this would have upon the Negro population of the USA. Anyone ready the news reports concerning the damage inflicted in lives and property would definitely say the assassination of Martin Luther King must have been planned.

God has His hand on all things and I believe everything that has happened was for a purpose and according to God’s plan.

America has forsaken God and must reap because of her iniquities. America has sown and now she is reaping and there will be more of this harvest unless she repents and returns to God. God has a Divine plan and the events occurring are all according to God’s Divine plan. History is being made and prophecy is being fulfilled before our very eyes.

I want to ask you one question before I bring this message to a close. Are your sins washed away or are you a sinner on the broad road that leads to hell and separation from God? Please stop long enough in your pursuit of pleasure, wealth and fame and begin to think. Think for a few minutes about Eternity, the destiny of your soul and the love of God that sent Jesus Christ to die for you on the cross of Calvary so many years ago.
