"WHY WILL YE DIE?"--Better Red or Dead?  DO 911   21/4/80
--The Message of Jeremiah for Today!

         1. THE ADVICE THE LORD & HIS PROPHET JEREMIAH GAVE THE JERUSALEMITES WHEN THE ENEMY WAS OBVIOUSLY WINNING & when they couldn't possibly win, was to surrender! "Now you've sinned against Me. Now you've got to be punished. What do you want? I'll give you a choice."--And that's what God's saying to the World today: "OK, you've all sinned against Me & I'm going to punish you. I'll give you a choice: What kind of punishment do you want? Annihilation, hell on Earth, or surrender to the power that I have put in charge of the World, & to be its slaves & take your punishment & live? Which do you prefer?--Red or dead?"
         2. But the Israelites still wouldn't surrender. They preferred to fight & die & they did! And the city was destroyed & 2/3 of the people, & the rest made slaves! And that's exactly what America's headed for & wants to do! And that's why the Lord said His Message for America today is the Message of Jeremiah!--"Submit yourselves & your necks to the yoke of the King of Babylon," obviously the Russians & the Communists, "& live! Why will ye die, O Jerusalem?" (Jer.27)
         3. LET'S FACE IT, IN EVERY WAR, THAT'S THE ONLY DECISION YOU'VE GOT. Let's say you're in a duel, let's say you & your adversary have got your guns, both pointed at each other. You're holding a gun on each other deciding what you should do now. "We've both got our guns on each other. He's going to pull the trigger, & just from natural reaction if I pull the trigger I'm going to get killed! But if I don't pull the trigger then maybe he'll kill me." That's one way to look at it.
         4. But there's one almost positive way to survive, there's one more option: You can drop your gun! The other guy will then get his way & you may become his servant & have to do what he says & cough up your money & other valuables, but he has no further reason to kill you because he has no further fear of you, because you have surrendered. So why should he kill you when he can use you?
         5. So the smartest thing a country can do would be to do what?--If it wants to live, is to surrender, of course! Because as sure as shootin', whether you pull the trigger first or he does, you're going to die!
         6. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE EUROPEANS--they talk sense but they don't act sense! I was amazed when they decided to put in those 1500 new nuclear warheads or missiles in Europe. The more warheads the U.S. can keep in Europe, the more they're going to be shooting at Europe instead of America! The smartest thing Europe could have done is what I told them to do almost 10 years ago in "The Meek" (No.205): Kick out those nuclear bases & those atom bomb bases & missiles & get rid of them!--Because if you don't have any, they are not going to be shooting at you!
         7. But they're doing their best to still hold up the Whore because they're afraid if they just completely back out & refuse to support America anymore, then the Russians will take over, which of course they're going to do anyway, shootout or no shootout! (See ML No.216 & Rev.17,18.) So, which is better?--To go ahead & have the shootout & leave 2/3 of the World dead & the other 1/3 dying, or to surrender, like the Lord advised Jeremiah to counsel the people, to take their punishment that they deserved?
         8. The smartest thing they could do is dump all those missiles & kick out all those atomic submarines & strip themselves of all those atomic weapons & say, "Look, we're not going to shoot you!--We don't even have any anymore!--So why shoot us?"
         9. FROM THE LOOKS OF THINGS I DON'T THINK THE AMERICANS ARE EVER GOING TO WAKE UP, of course, & they would rather die than give up their pride & their possessions. And they've just about persuaded the Europeans to take the same attitude, so it looks like they're all going to go down, because nothing's stopping the Russians & nothing will. Only God can stop the Russians, & He doesn't want to, because He wants to punish the rest of the World by using the Russians!
         10. And He's punishing the so-called Christian World for their sins & their hypocrisy & unrighteousness! He always takes it out on His Own people first, because they know more & they know better. You punish your own kids first, you don't start spanking the neighbour's kids. He always punishes His Own children first, then He turns around & slaughters their enemies!
         11. SO ALTHOUGH THE OUTLOOK IS AS BAD AS EVER, EVEN GETTING A LITTLE WORSE EVERY DAY, WE'RE IN YOUR HANDS, LORD! And whether we die or whether we live, we live or die unto Thee. The solutions are so simple, Lord! If the people would turn to You, repent of their sins & ask Your forgiveness, You would lift the curse, Lord, & You'd remove the whole thing, but they won't! So You have to punish them & you have to let the war come & all the horrors of man that man is bringing on himself, to show what a mess he is without You, before You can save him!
         12. Bless & keep us & continue to make us a blessing, to speak Thy truth & reveal it to Thy children & those without as well, & continue to prepare them for it, to do what they can. The best thing they can do, Lord, is to keep obeying Thee, going into all the World preaching Thy Gospel of Love to others.--In Jesus' name, amen!
