AS WE TURN TO THE SUBJECT “THE GOSPEL THAT JESUS PREACHED“, there is probably nothing more important for you and I to understand than to think, and to know and to activate the thoughts of God in a physical world. It is most significant for us to realize that communication is the most important thing in the realm of the great operation of God’s Kingdom. From the day when your race was placed in earth until this hour, communication has been an important thing. There are many who wonder when they talk about the Gospel that Jesus preached. Just what does that gospel consist of, and just where does this Gospel exist, and just what does that Gospel indicate? That Gospel has many interpretations and we have heard many Denominational approaches to it.

We have heard that it is considered Good News that this Gospel is of GOOD NEWS. It is true that the Gospel that Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom is certainly the most unusual and tremendous of the ‘GOOD NEWS’ that can be delivered. It is the news of redemption, to a race that required it, and was certainly of Great importance to them. But the Gospel that Jesus preached was the declarations and purposes of God’s plans in the earth. Of what He expected out of those who could react and perform, and carry on this responsibility. When we talk about the Gospel that Jesus preached, it is not the Gospel that many today declare it to be.

THIS AFTERNOON WE ARE TALKING UPON A SUBJECT THAT IS VERY VITAL AND THE UNDERSTANDING OF CHRISTIAN RELATIONSHIP IN THE WORLD IN WHICH A PERSON DWELLS. We are speaking on the subject of ‘The fruit of the spirit’ well recognizing that many discussions of this ‘fruit of the spirit’ has actually been used to hinder the development of God’s kingdom rather than to carry it forward. We are dwelling in an area in which a great struggle for control of the earth is being carried on, and that this struggle has to succeed in the seat of human consciousness. Again we would lay the premise that all that you see in all of the Universe round about you and in all of the work of the creation of men’s minds, everything that you behold IS THOUGHT TRANSLATED INTO ACTION.

As you see, we have referred this to the buildings that you see and the great technology. And we talk about the areas of knowledge, science and inventions which have produced the instruments for all of the functioning substance of our society. All are the by-product of thought. We might also point to the Universe round about from the sidereal systems to all that grows round about you, to all that lives and grows, and you have the blueprint of the creative purposes of the MOST HIGH. So the universe and all that is within it, even the opposition forces which are against you, are the by-products of thought translated into reality. This being so, then this is the most important area of conflict of what we are facing, which we are told, is the world order and a brave new world. I want you to know that the battle of semantics and the impressions and ideas that are being created are one of the most significant things that we face in our time.

As we turn tonight to our discussion of the four horses, we are watching developments coming with even greater speed than some might have anticipated. Remember that as we talked about events of this year, we told you that it would be a turbulent year. We spoke about the Jupiter opposition to our national house. And we made it known unto you that even with the opening of the Union message, it will be diametrically opposed to what will be best for the nation. And as we move early into this year, it will not be a year of peace. Instead, it will be brush fire wars and trouble. We have only been a few days into the year and we are engaged in trouble in Panama and many areas where we did not expect trouble to erupt.

We tell you that America should be ashamed that we do not have more intelligent leadership in Washington than we have tonight, when we signed the treaty before and we undertook the building of the Panama Canal outside the city where pirates once lived, and the remnant of a small and crumbling civilization existed. We carved a great pathway across a piece of jungle and we developed the Panama Canal. We brought prosperity, employment and development to Panama. Our treaty not only guaranteed the development and the prosperity of this area for 100 years, but the sovereignty of it was that either side of that canal gave us a 10-mile strip which was our territory and our property for the duration of this treaty and as long as it existed. Over this area no flag would fly but ours. No troops would march. No strength would be within it, but that of the United States.

WE ARE TALKING TONIGHT ABOUT A SUBJECT WHICH SHOULD BE OF MUCH IMPORTANCE TO YOU BECAUSE THIS IS AN HOUR OF PROPHETIC DEVELOPMENT. This is an hour in which we find the economic and social life of our nation in a strange and unusual unbalance. We turn to the words of Daniel as he came before the King of Babylon, King Nebuchadnezzar who had just had a dream and a vision. And although he could not remember it, he was still very disturbed by it. And he wanted an explanation as to this vision and its meaning. When Daniel, inspired by the Living God, came before the king then Daniel told him about the course of the pagan powers that sought to rule the world. He told him of how these Empires would run their courses and that with great significance would be identified by their part in prophecy. Then Daniel said, ‘Thou Babylon, thou O King art this head of Gold.’

As Daniel introduced this vision to the King as a great statue, he said that the statue had a head of gold. Its arms and breast were of silver, his belly and thighs were of brass. The legs were of iron and his feet and toes were part of iron and part of clay. This was the symbolism of these Empires, but especially was this important as it related then to Babylon. Because Babylon summed up the total of Satanic and evil influence. It became the tremendous international world metropolis of evil. Here were gathered together the pagan priests of every pagan philosophy. Here they were gathered together in a vast Baal temple of universal worship. Behind the scenes the strategy of this evil, Satanic, Serpentine program, was to extend through their Priest craft into the thinking of men throughout the world.

TONIGHT WE ARE DISCUSSING A SUBJECT WHICH MIGHT BE OF SOME INTEREST TO SOME AND FOREIGN TO SOME. And yet of some interest to others who might have heard or seen something which has been developing in the earth through out the last few weeks and months as far as the discussion is concerned, in areas that are diametrically opposed to the whole structure of our Christian society. There is a rumour afoot, and it is travelling fast in the Ghettos of the world. And this rumour tells us that the world is soon going to have the opportunity of seeing a Jewish Messiah, who is about to reveal himself and has behind him, the enthusiastic support of a great number of Talmudic Jews through out the world.

Now, this may seem to be a strange thing. But remember the words of Jesus in the 6th chapter of John, when declaring His own identity before the great number of people who were gathered around Him in Jerusalem. He said: ’I have come in the name of YAHWEH.’ It is translated ‘I have come in the Father’s name, and you received me not. ‘When another comes in his own name, him you will receive.’ In fact, on four separate occasions the Sanhedrin points out that Christ pointed out that the people who consisted of Jewry and who repudiated the recognition of HIM as Messiah, and would not accept the fact that He was the revelation of Deity.

AS WE GO INTO OUR SUBJECT TONIGHT, AS TO HOW THE ‘FALSE CHURCH SPEAKS SATAN’S LIES,’ there are some strange situations which we see as having occurred in the course of history which have been well explained in the areas of prophecy and in the content of the WORD.

One of the mysteries of course, is ‘Mystery Babylon the Great.’ And in the 17th chapter of the book of Revelation, we see one of the seven Angels which had seven vials. And he talks with John saying, ‘Come hither, and I will show thee the judgement of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.’ So he carried me away in the spirit and showed me a woman sitting upon a scarlet covered beast full of names of blaspheme having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour and decked with gold and precious stones, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: and upon her head was a name ‘MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF EARTH. And I saw this woman drunken with the blood of Martyrs, and I wondered at her

WE ARE TURNING THIS AFTERNOON TO RE-EVALUATE WHAT IS MEANT BY THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL. If you will turn to the book of Revelation, you will find that this is the only time this has been used as such and this is in the 6th verse of the 14th chapter of the book of Revelation, when John said, ‘I saw the Angel flying in the midst of the heavens having the Everlasting Gospel to preach to them that dwell on earth, to every nation and kindred and tongue and people.’

Now, we know what the Gospel means. We know that it is ‘glad tidings of great joy.’ We know that the word ‘gospel’ is not a message of fear, but a message of Light and Truth. We know that the Everlasting Gospel is a Gospel that is a continuous Gospel and it runs from generation to generation. We know that it is a gospel of Divine intent and a Divine purpose. And we have it continued into another passage which is also Everlasting. I would have you go back into the book of Genesis. And in the 17th chapter of Genesis, we read these words: ’As God speaks to Abraham, He says, ‘I will call you no more Abram, but your name shall be Abraham ‘father of many nations have I made thee.’ I shall make nations of thee and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish MY Covenant between thee and ME, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an Everlasting Covenant, that I will be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.’

There are no conditions on this. It is an unconditional Covenant, an Everlasting Covenant, and an indestructible Covenant. And a Covenant which is made with your race. This is a covenant made with the House of God in the earth and with the seed of Abraham.
