FINISH THE JOB!

1. WE'RE PREPARING FOR THE CRASH! WE EXPECT IT ANY MINUTE, ANY DAY! I am expecting the Lord to help us get wound down to the point we can survive on whatever comes in before He lets the Crash really crash. He's waiting on us, I believe it! I often think, "Well now, Lord, why? It looks like the World ought to crash right now, it should have crashed back in '79!"--Like that Swiss banker wrote in that book The Crash of '79, he couldn't understand why it didn't crash then, it should have! I mean, countries & the World have been bankrupt for years, living on borrowed time & borrowed money! Why hasn't it crashed? Why? God's being merciful to us, He's waiting on us!
2. THROUGH ALL THESE YEARS OF WORLD BANKRUPTCY & ALL OF THIS, HE'S WAITING ON US TO FINISH THE JOB, to get out the Word, get out the lit, get out the Posters, get out the witness, to get in the souls & the disciples, before He's going to let it crash "& the night comes when no man can work." (Jn.9:4) So we are doing our best to wind-down & cut down personnel so that we will be ready when the Crash occurs, & it may occur just as soon as we get wound down, the Lord knowing then that we're ready & are able to survive it.--As soon as we've gotten out all these major publications & all the Posters & we've got everything out & in the field & in use & where it belongs, so you have the tools to do the job, & then we won't have to print so much any more. You can do it individually right on the field where it's safer & better & easier & cheaper to print & even easier to disperse & distribute without having to send it across national borders & worry about customs, banned literature, etc!
3. REMEMBER THAT MARVELLOUS DREAM I HAD ABOUT THE "GREEN PAPER PIG"? (No.243) It was these [ACs] that I saw letting this Green Paper Pig go that was like a balloon in the dream, & they were the ones that sicced it down the river! And who were they after? They were after us! Because let's face it, most of us in the Family at that time were Americans or were still largely dependent on the U.S. Dollar, & the Dollar was sicced on us by these [ACs], showing that they run the monetary system of the World. And in siccing the Dollar on us, what could that mean?--They thought the Dollar was going to devour us! How would it devour us?
4. WHY DID [THEY] SIC THE DOLLAR ON US? Well, isn't the World largely dependent on Dollars?--And wasn't even the vast majority of our Family's economy still dependent on Dollars?--Until recently when we dumped them! But then in the blow-up, which no doubt the [ACs] themselves literally intended, they expected to blow us away at the same time. But we were pointing our finger at the balloon & we're the ones who really choose the time when it shall blow! So instead of blowing us, it's going to blow them, because we've dumped our Dollars & are not going to get caught in the crush & the Crash & the explosion, the blow-up! You give the Devil enough rope & he'll hang himself!
5. IN MAKING THE WHOLE WORLD DOLLAR-DEPENDENT ON A DOLLAR ECONOMY, THE [ACs] FIGURED THAT THE DOLLAR WOULD SWALLOW US UP TOO WHEN THEY BRING ABOUT THE CRASH.--Which they're doing deliberately! They want the Crash to come, they're engineering it, they're staging the whole thing! (No.1340)--First of all, to get the whole World dependent on the Dollar & their Dollar banks & [AC] banks, & then to pull the rug out from under them with the explosion & the decline of the Dollar so that the whole World will then become their slaves & they'll have to save them, salvage their economic system & the whole works. When the Dollar blows, they are going to actually blow it! They are planning to blow it in order to blow up the World, in order that their Antichrist can pick up the pieces.
6. BUT WE'RE GOING TO PRE-EMPT'M! WE POINTED OUR FINGER AT THAT THING BEFORE IT GOT TO US & REBUKED IT IN JESUS' NAME & IT EXPLODED!--BEFORE THEY INTENDED FOR IT TO EXPLODE! As far as we were concerned, at least, it didn't even make it to us! Because no matter what happens to the Dollar now, it's not going to affect us as much as it used to. We have dumped nearly all of our Dollars. We get rid of them as fast as they come in & we're going to more reliable forms of reserves & currencies of more reliable economies.--Of which you can hardly find any more reliable than in the strong, booming Lands of the Rising Sun whose economies are climbing & whose currencies even are rising in value compared to the U.S. Dollar. Whereas the Dollar is declining, currencies in the better nations of the East are climbing.
7. SO WE GOT THE JUMP ON THE PIG! We pointed our finger at it & exploded it before it got to us. Could it be that we're helping to bring on the Crash by warning the World of what's happening to the Dollar & what's bound to happen? We've been warning the World of the Crash for 20 years! Look how merciful the Lord has been to us! God has given us all this time & had all this patience & waited for years for us to even arrive & be born & grow till we became this big Family & spread all over the World preaching the Gospel to billions of people! And now He's helping us to get out millions of lit pages in order that we can give them the tools to do the job, as we have now for years, millions & millions of pages of Gospel literature!
8. LOOK HOW PATIENT THE LORD IS, LOOK HOW HE HAS KEPT THE PIG, IN A WAY, & OUR ENEMIES & THE WORLD SITUATION & THE ECONOMY, HOLDING IT BACK. He says, "He Who now letteth will let, until He be taken out of the way." (2Thes.2:7) The original English word letteth there means "Until He Who now holds back the flood is taken out of the way." As soon as we've got as much of the job done as we can & our wind-down done & we're ready to survive, all of us, D.V., He's going to open the floodgates of the Antichrist System with the Antichrist & the whole works & just let'r rip!--For one thing, to stop the World from destroying itself & Mankind! God's got to open the floodgates & let the flood roar in order to shorten the time. "For except those days were shortened there should no flesh be saved!"--He says so. (Mat.24:22)
9. SO THE LORD HAS GIVEN US THE WISDOM & THE WARNING, we've had it for years. Now we're in our heyday, we have been booming. We've boomed in population, we've boomed in ministries, in radio, literature, evangelism, Worldwide missions & everything to a tremendous extent! But now God knows what's going to happen, that it's not going to be possible to be quite as inflated as we are today with so many ministries & perhaps even so many people in so many countries, & certainly not so much literature & as many publications, & certainly not as much freedom, & definitely there won't be as much money! We're going to have to learn how to get by on less, & as I have often said, on an absolute minimum, if we have to, to even go back to where we were when we started, with nobody but me & Maria writing little prayer letters!
10. "DAD, YOU'RE NOT SUGGESTING THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO GO BACK DOWN TO NOTHING, ARE YOU?"--NO! I mean, we've done the job! We've got thousands & thousands of our people! We've got even more people who've backslidden & got the Message & still believe it! Even though they're not Members, they've gone back & they still believe it & do it!--Like Eve & her crowd & some of the rest of them. They just weren't willing to go our way & accept everything. But our people have run into different organisations & groups which all definitely sound almost like us, founded on the same principles & methods & doing the same things.
11. AS MY MOTHER ONCE TOLD FRED JORDAN, "FRED, YOU THINK YOU'RE HAVING A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON THE WORLD WITH YOUR TEACHING, & especially with your sending out hundreds of missionaries. But that's not your greatest influence. Your greatest influence has been your secondary impact on the churches & on Christians, influencing them to do what they have failed to do & have not been doing! You have stripped them & exposed them & made them conscious of their failures, & made their congregations conscious of the failures of their churches & preachers, to where they're going to start witnessing now just to shut you up so you can't criticise them & say they're not doing anything!
12. "YOU'RE MAKING CHRISTIANS AWARE OF THEIR DUTY TO WITNESS, LITNESS, WIN SOULS & EVANGELISE THE WORLD! You're making the denominations aware that they have got to do something or their own parishioners are going to accuse them of doing nothing! You have awakened people, you've told them the Truth, you've warned them like a Prophet of their failures. So in order to keep their people from all running over to you, they've got to put on a program somewhat similar, maybe not as radical or as hot or as widespread, but they've got to do something."
13. SO OUR SECONDARY IMPACT, FAR BEYOND WHAT WE OURSELVES ARE DOING, AS THE APOSTLE SAYS, HAS PROVOKED THE JEWS TO JEALOUSY!--OR IN THIS CASE THE CHURCH.--Provoked the Christians to jealousy to get them out witnessing.
14. WE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE FOUR OR FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE IN WS UNITS ALL OVER THE WORLD! Just think if we could put several hundred more people in the field now in these Last Days in the shortness of time, we'd finish the job quicker! That would be a big help, wouldn't it? So we're going to do it! Hallelujah! We're on the way!
15. I'VE FOUND WHEN THE LORD GIVES YOU A SCARE OR A LITTLE SHAKE-UP IT'S GOOD FOR YOU, it makes you really pray & get down to business & find the will of God!--Amen? He doesn't tell us everything about the future, especially about our own personal futures, we've got to keep praying & keep close to the Lord day by day to know what's going to happen & where we're going to be & where we should be & what we should do. Changes are good for you, even suggestions of changes are good for you! The idea that there's going to be a change is good for you to really make you pray & get close to the Lord. So PTL!
16. IF I HADN'T BEEN WILLING TO LEAVE HOME, WHERE WOULD YOU BE? If I hadn't been willing to leave my wife or my mate & my children, my job, my church, my relatives & my family, where would you be? Well, maybe if you're not willing to leave this Home & go out there, where will some of those people out there be if you don't go out there & save'm & rescue'm & see'm on their way to Heaven! But whether you're here or there, I know the Lord's going to take care of you & make you happy in His service.--Amen? GBAKY serving Him!
