I Predict 1984

A Message To America

This is possibly the most exciting and dramatic moment of human history. As we face the eventful and prophetic year of 1984, there is more concern politically, economically, even morally and spiritually regarding the world in which we live than in many years. For this reason, I have written this book as a prophetic glimpse into the year of 1984.

1984 is a marked year. In the Hebrew language, each numeral has a meaning. The numerals all serve as letters in the Hebrew alphabet. 1984 in Hebrew means:

The numerical value of 1984 when translated into Hebrew carries the connotation that a period of ransoming, redeeming, and delivering will signal coming annihilation, shuddering, and a cutting off.

In the Jewish calendar, this year is 5744, which corresponds to our calendar year 1984. The meaning of these numbers is:

The numerical value of the Jewish year 5744, which began on Rosh Hashanah, September 1983, will end approximately two-thirds of the way through the English year 1984. The Hebrew translation of the Jewish year 5744 carries the connotation of annihilation, desolation, destruction, mingled with religious persecution and apostasy or falling away.

1984 denotes in the Hebrew language some kind of catastrophe or destruction. It could be cosmic as earthquakes, volcanoes, tornados, famine, no rain, or war of unpredictable proportions.

This message is related to the prophetic entrance into the year of 1984. Prognosticators of all types are prophesying that this is a year of destiny. Planet Earth is swirling into its fateful new year. A.D.

1983 leaves us and goes into the archives of history. 1983 brought victories into some lives; it brought prosperity to others; it brought joys to many. '83 also left deep scars — scars of disappointment and hurts. So, '83 was a complex year. Many said it was good, others said it was bad. As the gigantic world calendar turns to a new year, millions of citizens of Planet Earth feel a strange foreboding about 1984. Many leaders in high places are taking an almost frighteningly close look at the days and weeks ahead in 1984.

Is Big Brother Watching?

Recently, Walter Cronkite and the CBS network presented an hour-long program based on George Orwell's book AD 1984. Also, the Smithsonian Institute is preparing an international Orwell Symposium of world scholars, of lawyers, and of representatives in the field of high technology. One of the main questions they will consider will be, "Can the mass media control our thoughts, and especially in the year of '84?"

1984 will be a year of crises, a year of change, a year of redirection on the face of this earth. This means that, more than ever, men and women will need the power and the fullness of conscience to speak from their spirits how they want to live and what they want to be.

George Orwell's 1984

When we think of the book by George Orwell called 1984, we must remember that his wife died in 1945. Her death brought grief to him. It also put a cloud of depression over him. He wrote the book 1984 on a secluded island, called Jura, in the Hebrides Islands off the west coast of Scotland. George Orwell himself died five years later, January 23, 1950. He blamed the gloomy side of his novel 1984 on his personal illness and his great misfortune, especially in losing his wife at that time. It was in 1948, only months before his death, that Orwell wrote 1984. He wrote it as a novel, relating and regarding totalitarianism, as at that time Planet Earth was just emerging from the awfulness of World War II. In his novel, he said that totalitarianism would conquer the world completely. It would control the body, soul, and spirit of mankind.

1984 immediately became a best seller in the world markets. It became almost like a Bible in the universities of the world. For over 30 years 1984 was one of the most popular books on university campuses. As you know, George Orwell, whose real name was Eric Blair, describes a frightening kind of eternal warfare going on. The Party, much like we have in Communist countries today, ruling the land and the government, is in complete control over men's actions and thoughts in his book.

Society has become full of fear, and under complete subjection. It has no strength to move out from under the complexity of totalitarianism.

Mr. Irvin Howell even questions whether 1984 is, in fact, a novel, or whether it is a prophecy for humanity to read and to study. There are philosophers who are deeply involved in such thinking at this present time.

Orwell's 1984 written in the year 1948, was safe in its projections. Date-wise its predictions were a generation away. Thirty-five years is an average life span in some of the more primitive areas of the world. The Bible projects a generation to be forty years in span. It is believed that Orwell, to find a name for his novel, simply reversed the numbers of the year 1948. Writing in 1948, he flipped the digits and said, "I will write a book called 1984." Thus, the date became his title, but it possessed no special revelation for the year of 1984. It was simply a reversal of numbers. This may or may not be true. He is not with us to explain that.

In Orwell's 1984, a totalitarian government of great strength and with great fierceness had now reached the total subjugation of its citizens in its domain. Big Brother was the leader and the head of the totalitarian government. Signs were everywhere, "Big Brother is watching you," bringing fear into the hearts of the citizens that they should obey completely, in their minds as well as in their actions.

Big Brother was the ruler of Oceana, a country that he formulated with its geographical area embracing what is called, Great Britain, Australia, and the Americas. Orwell called the news media the Ministry of Truth. This included entertainment and art. They were under the same government agency. This dictatorship completely controlled the minds of all its citizens, compelling them to believe that 2 + 2 = 5.

The people accepted it as truth, not just to keep from being punished, but their minds had become subject to government control. When they were told that 2 + 2 = 5, their minds would tell them that is absolutely correct, and could not be any other way. Orwell was saying that the mind of man had been warped in that area.

Orwell described the Ministry of Peace, as being what we call today, the War Department. He called it the Ministry of Peace saying that they desired peace. However, the world of Big Brother was still at war with those around it, blaming others for all their problems and wars. Their iron will proceeded to conquer every individual and to subjugate every individual into their means of thinking and living.

Orwell named the Department of Law and Order, the Ministry of Love. Men were made to obey by strong punishment and cruel persecution. Individuality was absolutely obsolete. To have a personality was a crime. The populace thought only when the Party said to think. They acted only as the Party said to act. They worked only when the Party said to work. If they did not obey, they were outcasts.

The Ministry of Plenty supervised all economic affairs. There was not plenty. That was only the name of the government department. Total control of every person, as to where he worked, where he lived, and what he possessed was under this Ministry of Plenty causing him to be a slave to that ministry.

All over the land, the book says, there were huge, enormous photographs of a fierce-looking person called Big Brother. Big Brother was everywhere, so that the people could not escape those staring eyes that followed them, watching every motion they made. Those dramatic words, "Big Brother is watching you," kept fear in their hearts. In every home they had what they called the telescreen. These telescreens were installed to give the government the ability to see and hear all that was being done or felt in that house. The Thought Police invaded all privacy.

I don't know how much Bible prophecy George Orwell understood and knew, but for certain, he understood something relating to what the Bible describes as the Antichrist. In this book, I will be revealing this to you along with my predictions for this current year of 1984.

When the celebrated author, Eric Fromm, was writing The Afterward to 1984, he said Orwell was warning the entire world about the loss of their most human qualities, and about becoming soulless automatons. It was very interesting that such a philosopher would say those words. What had come forth out of the spirit of this man, George Orwell, was that he was trying to warn the entire world. He was warning not just one country or two countries, but putting forth a worldwide warning of the loss of our most human qualities.

I'm afraid that in our land, we don't know loss. We have someone to help us when we get down. Other countries fully understand the meaning of loss. My church in Hong Kong, where half of their families were still in Communist China, knew loss. We had men in our church who had escaped to free China but their family members were left behind the Bamboo Curtain. These relatives were forced to work many hours without pay, and were left to die in the Communist grip. They knew loss of family. In our immediate society in this land, we do not understand loss like the people in Russia, Cuba, or China know today. We hope that we will never know it and that God will save us from it, but we want to assure you that it is possible.

At this special moment in history, intellectual circles relating to the book 1984 find the book highly respected. They gave it tremendous treatment for predicting what they conclude to be the future of mankind, seen by an author just after the aftermath of World War II. That shadow of World War II was still over him. He was predicting, you might say, World War III. However, he predicted something even worse than that: complete subjugation of the human personality. He was more interested in human personality being under subjection than he was any other of the aspects.

Mr. Fred Hendly, who is a news director of a radio station, has read the entire book 1984 over the air. It took him 10 weeks, reading 15 minutes daily. Mr. Hendly was worried about a recently installed loud speaker in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where city officials can speak to the entire city during an emergency. He did not like it. He said that projects like this are leading toward what Orwell stated. Eventually, the government will be able to speak to the whole nation, all at one time, blasting over horns, and having telescreens inside the home to pick up every thought.

Orwell's 1984 with its ten million copies out there seems to be following people around. College professors have said even when their students have no interest in politics at all, they will still read 1984. There is a fascination about it, that they do not seem to be able to get away from.

God Holds Back Big Brother

Orwell's story would already be history were it not for the tremendous post-war revivals that God gave to Planet Earth. Since that war, Southern Korea has seen one of the greatest moves of God in its whole course of history and one of the greatest in the world. Dr. Cho's church in Seoul, Korea, is the largest church on the face of the earth. It has reported over two hundred thousand members. Don't think that they can't get together, because through an amazing network of what they call "cell units," every member is in contact every week. Every single member of that church pays tithes making it possibly the wealthiest church on the face of the earth. If you feel that the Third World countries can't do anything, you should look and see what freedom can do to a Third World country like South Korea. It is a phenomenon. They add a minimum of ten thousand new members a week to that remarkable church. Indonesia has experienced unprecedented revivals. In Africa today, they are having unprecedented moves of the Spirit of God. We are hearing from reliable sources in Europe that there is a movement from the grass roots in France, Germany, and England, a spiritual renewal like we have not seen in quite a few years.

In our own country here, we have seen several tremendous moves of God. One was called "The Latter Rain," that moved into many circles. "The Healing Movement" was another one. Great men, like Evangelist Oral Roberts and others, in large tents and by television reached into millions of homes. They blessed people, edified people, and turned people to God. Later a movement like the Moral Majority, stood up and said, "Wait! We don't want homosexualism to rule our country. We don't want lesbianism to parade down our streets as if we're not human any more. We just don't want pornographic literature on every corner." We have a stable government today because of the move of God, and the thrust of God, and the love of God. If the people had not received revival, we would be drifting toward a one-world government. We would be drifting toward a military government. We would be drifting toward a situation in which you and I would no longer be our own. We would be victims of the government and would be owned by the government.

If you were to study the book of Revelation, you would very quickly see that during what is called the Great Tribulation, this is the kind of a world that there will be. However, we believe that the Word of God teaches that at that time the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ will not be here on the face of this earth. When the Lord Jesus went away He said, "I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also." In the same second that the disciples were watching Jesus leave this earth, the angel said, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, that you have seen go away, shall return in like manner as you have seen him go away." This is the glorious hope of true believers. This is the hope of all denominations —not just one denomination. It is the hope of all those who put their trust in Jesus Christ and believe that indeed He is our Lord and Saviour. Those that refuse Him, and do not accept Him, will face a time such as the world has never known. This mighty man that arises will put a mark in the foreheads of the people. He will put a mark upon their hands, and they will be completely subjugated. This subjection will not be like it is when they can put them into a concentration camp in Siberia if they do not obey. Rather, their minds will be brainwashed. Like Orwell's book says, 2 + 2 = 5; it is no longer 4. Their minds will be changed. Orwell's novel describes the force as being able to make those that love one another, hate one another. It made them come against one another. It frustrated the human personality until it was not what God made it to be anymore. The woman was not what God made her to be. The man was not what God made him to be. They were changed. Well, that is what is going to happen. We trust not in 1984!

You will discover in the Word of God that there are clouds that precede the storm. It might be that '84 will produce the clouds, and you'll look on the horizons of the world and say, "I see this menacing cloud arising." It foretells doom for the American personality, for American liberty, for American freedom, for the American love that we have in our hearts for our country, for our families, and for our God. We will be able to see things that we haven't seen before. We must walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise men. There will be those that will ignore the signs. You can put a sign on a highway and there will be people that will completely ignore it. You can say there is a pothole ahead, and they'll hit it, because they have ignored the warning.

No doubt, Orwell was writing prophetically, as some have very strongly stated. Thank God that this prophecy has been delayed by revival, prayers, good people, and good men in government. If our country were to go bankrupt, all we could expect would be a military dictatorship, and the re-issuing of money on a different basis. Thank God that until this moment, God has sustained us as a nation. I know you thank God for it, and so do I.

God Wants Us to Know the Future

For the past seventeen years, each year I have inquired in the spirit part of my being, seeking God, asking Him to reveal to me events that are imminent for the coming year, events that are related to human life and our wellbeing. My spirit reaches out with great desire that all men shall realize and understand the decade of the '80s. It is actually divinely marked with prophetic destiny.

Maybe some of us that are not Bible scholars do not yet understand that one third of the entire Bible is written in a form that we call prophecy. In prophecy we have the foretelling of the future. So, one third of the entire Bible is related to telling the future. Much of it has come to pass right on time and truthfully just as predicted. Some of it is being fulfilled today and much of it will be fulfilled in the days ahead of us.

One of the reasons that Jehovah God gave for acknowledging Him as the Creator of the world, and the One that all men should worship as the only true and living God, was His ability to know the future and to tell the future.

Isaiah 42:9, "Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them."

The things that He said would come to pass did come to pass. That is the power to know the future. God placed His deity and His sovereign person on the balances when He said, "Here is the way to know that I am the true God. I know the unborn. I know that which has not yet come to pass. I will relate it to you before it comes to pass." He told His servant Isaiah, "By His stripes you are healed." Seven hundred years later, the Lord Jesus Christ received those stripes by which healing has come to the human race. God also predicted that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem of Judea. These are things foretold that came to pass on schedule. In the fullness of time, God sent His Son. Bible prophecy is always on schedule.

God knows further than this and He challenges the dark part of the universe, such as magicians, and sorcerers, and fortunetellers. He says, "If you can predict the future accurately and truthfully, then we will know that you are gods."

God mocked the magicians and the soothsayers of that time.

Isaiah 41:22, "Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come."

God told us the beginning of the world and of Adam and of Eve. He told us the past as well as the future. Pagan religions seek to do the same thing but cannot. Even the soothsayers, the crystal ball gazers, and the prognosticators of our land want to tell us what is going to happen in 1984. If you look back into 1983, you will see that what they said was nonsense. It did not come to pass. What God says in the Bible ALWAYS comes to pass. It never fails. It is truth. It is backed up by His divinity and not backed up by someone that misses and misses and says, "Listen to me again." It's not time to listen to them again. It's time to listen to the Book.

God further challenges in Isaiah 41:23,

"Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together."

He says, "Do a miracle, let us see it!" He extends a challenge to the magicians. However when the devil is put to a challenge, he is never able to come through with it. He doesn't have that kind of power. He is a liar and a deceiver, but not a blesser.

Isaiah 41:24, "Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you."

God speaks very clearly sometimes. That shows you what God thinks about those that are trying to tell the future without God. They are trying to do it through crystal balls and studying the stars. There is no star that has any personality or any knowledge. There is no crystal ball that has your future in it. There are only two areas of knowledge. One is divine and one is demonic. Be sure you are not listening to the demonic side. The divine side is in the Word and not in the head of some person.

1984

I am really concerned about our new year. I am deeply concerned about our tomorrows. I want you to be concerned, but not frightened. A frightened man cannot take positive action. I want you to make positive and spiritual decisions that will cause you to be a happier person, your family to be a happier family and our nation to be a happy nation.

I am aware that some of the greatest events in all the history of human annals are imminent upon the human race. I am aware that great things are in store for us. In our time, we have already seen man walk on the moon. We have already seen colossal things take place. There will be more of them. Being alive makes us involved. We are a vital part of the year of 1984. I don't want you to face this year with trembling, I want you to face it with God in your heart. You say, "Well what do you know about it?"

In Genesis 18:17, "And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;" We feel the pulse of the heart of God. We feel what God desires to do for those that love Him. If God is going to do things, He doesn't want to hide them from me or you if we love Him. God felt an obligation to communicate the future to Abraham because of his devotion to God. Because he loved God, and God said, "I will communicate with you. I won't do things without telling you about it." Today, God will tell His church what is going to take place.

God Spoke To Me About 1984

The Living Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must lead the world into 1984. We must lead the world with great excitement, great inspiration, knowing what we know, being sure of what we are sure of, speaking the Word of God in courage and in truth. We are those who know the times in which we live. We are much like the children of Issachar, "...which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do..." (I Chronicles 12:32). Isn't that beautiful, remarkable and wonderful that these men had an understanding of the times, and that they knew what the nation ought to do? That is a very blessed situation when you know what to do; and these people did.

This message could possibly be the most unusual that you have ever heard. God spoke to me in rhyme about the predictions for 1984. I did not ask God to give me the year of 1984 in any kind of rhyme or rhythm. In fact, I was very much surprised that the words came forth in rhyme out of the spirit of my being without my asking for them, or even desiring them.

Beginning about 1 o'clock in the morning, the Lord called me into prayer and until about 6 o'clock that morning, the Holy Spirit moved heavily upon me. The words came forth out of my spirit. My hand was writing down the message as the Lord spoke into my inner man.

I Predict A.D. 1984

My Spirit is ready to show you more.

You will now see as never before There is destiny in the year of '84.

The average home shall have satellite And from it see Jehovah's power and might. The great of the earth shall see it and fear;

The humble shall witness that Jesus is near.

There are those who of old Predicted events very bold. They were prophets big and tall, By my Spirit they told it all.

But in the year of A.D. '84 Truth shall rise up and soar. Nations shall see and they shall hear, As television proclaims that Christ is near.

Men shall see signs and wonders As volcanoes rip the earth asunder, And while dread famine ravishes, and Floods destroy all that they can.

Man shall rush from east to west Showing that his soul has no rest. He will play games on land and sea, But the Living God he does not see. Of earth's treasures he makes his god Until his bones return to the sod.

The Lord will reveal in A.D. '84 How Bolshevism shall be no more.

I spoke it to Ezekiel long past But now my patience cannot last. The Northern Bear shall rise up tall; All of its satellites it shall call They shall rush as by command With fury, south to the Holy Land. In Meggido my cradle of conflict I shall the deadly blow inflict. Gog, Magog, Meshech and Tubal shall run To Meggido, to find their cursing is done.

Their slain by heaps and heaps shall lie. Multitudes shall journey just to pass by.

I can share more for '84: America is an open door. The earth is toiling in sadness; Revolution is racing in madness. The world looks for help to the U.S.A. They cry, "Is it possible to have a new day?"

The Third World looks for America to raise the veil of hope And cries, "Can one nation reach such a scope?"

And there is regal Britain, In times past, the Bible has written. But after World Wars I and II, Its leaders knew not what to do. So they created a socialist state And the Bible was no longer great.

And France, the land of the Huguenots, Struggling with its postwar woes Turns to Communism for leadership. Its morals and spiritual life shall dip.

And Germany, where Martin Luther spoke in power, Is divided and severed as of this hour. When they made the

Fuehrer their god, Jehovah determined they experience the rod.

But in the year of 1984 I shall visit these lands once more, the Bible shall be opened and speak again. These nations shall hear and begin To repent of spiritual and moral shame, As gladness of heart in millions shall reign.

But yea, I say, there will be more After the year of '84. My glorious church shall rise to the sky To meet me and live on high. Then shall my church rejoice forever With happiness no man can sever.

Now, I turned and looked toward that far-off shore To see the face of Him that I adore. This I know as earth's battles surge: Christ's glorious church has the urge To be with Him forevermore.

Jesus now speaks loud and clear That as His return is so near Yet millions will die, just from fear. Women and men will hide in the earth. These are those without the New Birth.

How much longer shall I seek Immortal millions to reach? If you hear my voice and say That you prefer another day, I repeat to all mankind That you shall have no other time!

I Predict A Marked Generation

I predict that 1984 will be a marked year.

Proverbs 26:2, "...so the curse causeless shall not come." When there is a blight or a famine on the earth, the Bible says it cannot come without a reason for it. It's not an accident. In many parts of the world today, nature is in a fury. You'd better ask God what it's all about. If you are a pagan or a heathen and don't know God, you had better turn to the true and the living God to find out why these things are taking place.

In the year of '84, it will mark the 8th year of the 3rd century of American democracy. I predict that '84 will be a year of tremendous change in many aspects of American life.

1984 is a part of the sixth generation of Americans since the founding fathers wrote the Constitution. Counting forty years as a generation is the usual method, especially in the Bible. When you count six times forty, you get two hundred and forty years. From 1984 going back to 1776, there are two hundred and eight years. Therefore, we are now involved in the sixth generation of Americans. Is it possible that this generation of Americans is unlike the first generations of our fathers and mothers? Could this mean that God will deal differently with this generation than he did with our forefathers because we no longer have the spirit of our forefathers in us? God dealt differently with the people of Israel during each generation according to how that generation lived. What can this generation expect from God as we are moving into its third century.

In history, the nation of Israel began with King Saul, the next was King David and the third was King Solomon. By the time the nation had reached its fifth generation, there was great deterioration in Israel. There was deterioration politically and its strength was gone. Israel started with ten tribes and Judah was left with two. It was exhausted spiritually, and in a terrible state morally. All this took place in only five generations. They were getting ready for Babylonian bondage and slavery. The nation had lost its spirit of conquest that it had only six generations before. It had lost its adventure of building and growing and working together. The people had lost their love for themselves, for their God, and for their country. You had better look at America now, neighbors! PLEASE DO, IN THE NAME OF JESUS! Don't let the devil and all the frivolities that are flowing on television screens today and all the subtlety of the devil deceive you. DON'T DO IT! Let your mind be open and let your spirit be free to know the time in which we live today.

Israel had lost its great strong communication with Jehovah by its sixth generation. Could this situation be repeating itself in our land, in your land and my land? Are we facing the same kind of situation that Israel had?

Ezekiel, one of the great prophets of the Old Testament, said in Ezekiel 9:4,

"And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof."

I feel sure that the hand of the Almighty is ready to move at this time and to mark this generation. We will decide if America will stand or fall, not by the decisions that it makes in the United Nations or that it makes in politics, but in its decisions in relation to God Almighty. Now there are a lot of politicians who do not want to believe that. Scientists and businessmen, I command you in the name of God to think about it and to pray about it and let God, and not somebody who will fail, direct your life. The Bible says that when the blind lead the blind, they both fall in the ditch. So if uninformed people lead you, you will both be found wanting. God wants us to know that we are a marked generation, and that we must prepare ourselves.

If you will prepare yourself for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, you will escape the Great Tribulation. The Great Tribulation is when God will punish man for 6,000 years of rebellion. It will not be just an earthquake in one spot, but the whole earth will experience a worldwide shaking. The Bible says that the earthquake will come and shake every single house and every single wall down. The Bible says that hail will fall from heaven. It will be half the size of an automobile. It will knock everything to pieces. It will knock holes in the earth. That will be at the time when God rewards men for their wickedness, for the filthiness of their flesh, and for their immoralities. When they say it's all right, they will discover there is a righteous God that says it's all wrong. Actually, nobody but the devil said it was right. So we do predict this to be a nation, as well as a generation, that is marked by God.

I Predict Big Government

I further predict that big government will oppress its people. Today, one in every five Americans works in some form for the United States government. To me that's very sad. Government is big. Government is powerful and is growing too fast! There are people called "Bureaucrats" who are not voted into office by the electorate. Yet they dominate millions of American lives, sometimes at their own whim and their own fancy. There is no law related to it. We have in this country of ours the FCC which governs all the mass media.

We have the IRS, which governs the taxation of Americans. They can take property away from widows and even close up a man's shop when it's his only means of survival.

Then we have the OSHA governing business in its relation to labor and industry. I could tell you some stories about OSHA's operations that your senator would never want you to hear. There are hundreds of State and Federal commissions. These people are hired, not voted in by the people. Therefore they have no relationship as to whether you like or dislike them. Will America become a nation subservient to big government?

I Predict A Food Crisis

I further predict that millions of Americans will sell their souls, like Esau, for a bowl of beans. The big political issue in the times ahead of us will be food. Many shall come to hate God because of economic problems. Just one season with no harvest in this country and the world would be facing starvation. We will see the sins of the fathers visited upon the sons of a backslidden nation. I predict that we are coming to the time of belly nations. We will no longer be intellectual nations. They will say, "Give me to eat, and I will be your slave. Give me what I want. Let me dance and drink and sing a song, and you can have my life." That is a very poor way to live. I would rather live in a hovel with very little food and live with my mind free to think and to live as I wish to live.

I Predict A Generation Of Automatons

I recently visited the great NASA Space Center in Houston, Texas. I was very delighted as an official guide, who was very prominent there, showed us the space building and where the controls are for all these space crafts that go up. I was observing hundreds of millions of dollars of scientific machinery. The average IBM computer is a peanut compared to the computers that are there! The guide told me that in the final analysis, if an emergency arises, man is in control of the machine, and not the machine in control of man.

However, thoughtful men are apprehensive that we are producing a generation of automatons in this country. Millions of people have become pushbutton creatures. In many ways it seems that we are becoming a world of robots. We have become a people directed by subliminal thinking. Our generation is producing men who act like machines and machines that act like men.

I Predict Global Bankruptcy

I further predict that there will be global bankruptcy. I do not set an exact timetable for that. I believe you can see it and feel it all around you. Today, the world market is headed for devastation. Our President is seeking to balance our national budget. That is impossible! Interest rates have been raised to a point which the Bible calls the sin of usury. It's an oppression of the poor. The fluctuating interest rates have caused many to lose their homes. It has caused the banks to escalate mortgage rates. It has caused farmers to lose their farms and men in business to lose their businesses. The monthly house or farm payment can rise above what the normal worker is capable of paying and then he loses his, life's investment. Businesses are defaulting because people don't have the cash to buy products. Also, interest rates on business loans eat up the profits until many people cannot function. The Arab cartel is bankrupting nations by controlling the oil supply. The political situation is very explosive throughout the Arab world.

Everyone is looking for a saviour to help man in his global bankruptcy problems. There's no one, it seems, to help them out of their problems. Our world still refuses the Prince of Peace that could bring peace. He is the only one that could also bring prosperity. They would prefer not having the Prince of Peace, because He also makes you live right. We have loaned the Third World billions of dollars that they have no capability of ever returning. When they got it, they knew they would never return it. They only laughed at the Western World saying, "Let them loan it to us and let us squander it. We never expect to repay it."

God spoke through his prophet in Ezekiel 7:19:

"They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity."

The time will come when money will not solve the needs. A country like America or Germany or France may still have money, but the cry of these bankrupt nations will rise up before God with the hunger and the need that they will have. Their gold and their silver will be as nothing. It will not be able to deliver them.

Another Old Testament prophet said in Zephaniah 1:18:

"Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land."

That tells you when it's going to take place. The time of judgment must come. We cannot let people reject God and refuse God and hate God and curse God and expect that the world is going to go ahead.

Some may say, "God is the God of love." He most certainly is! He is also a God of discipline! He hasn't changed His moral nature in the last two thousand years. It has never been changed. He is eternal. If God threw the devil out of heaven for rebellion and Adam and Eve out of the Garden because of sin. He permitted King Saul to die by his own sword and Judas Iscariot to go to his own place. He has a place for this modern world if it rebels against Him.

In most of the world in which we live today, inflation is absolutely uncontrollable. It is one of the saddest things. Our neighbor country of Mexico is in an impossible condition financially because of inflation and the people are hurting. Their money is not worth enough to purchase anything. Brazil and Argentina are in the same condition. In fact, most of Latin America is facing the same problem. Inflation could cause revolution in the total world.

In a nation like Israel, even hotels and restaurants list the price of their food and rooms in American dollars for the simple reason the Israeli shekel is so unstable. When they go to bed at night, the shekel may not be the same in the morning. If they used the shekel to charge you for breakfast, they wouldn't know what to charge you for lunch because it might be far different in value by lunchtime than it was at breakfast. When a nation has to charge you for your breakfast, lunch and dinner and your hotel room in a foreign currency, then you can see what it means for that country to be embarrassed and for it to say, "We don't know where we are headed financially." Uncontrolled inflation destroys the poor, the innocent, and the widows. It destroys those that are on a fixed salary. I want to assure you that God is watching. All bankrupt nations are threatened by revolution. That's what bankruptcy will do, it will bring revolution. Therefore, I predict that the Third World especially, and possibly most of our world, is facing a devastating problem of bankruptcy. They have printed millions of dollars in paper money but have no solid currency to back it up. This includes the United States of America.

I Predict Bolshevic Aggression

I further predict that Russia will become more aggressive and not less aggressive. All the peace overtures that are put out by that country are simply to deceive people to give her more time to consolidate in order to reach forward and grasp again that which does not belong to her. In the last 60 years, Bolshevic Russia has been on a global march to establish a Communistic world. If you think Russia is satisfied anywhere at any time, you are wrong. Until the last human is under her heels and the last one that fights her is dead, Communism will try to march if it possibly can. Communist Russia wins when she can, without war. She will fight the diplomatic front in Geneva, in Paris, or in the United Nations. Anywhere she can she will fight the war at the debate table. However, don't ever count out the fact that she is ready for war. Russia will fight. She wins what she can at the peace table; when she can't, she wins with war. Russia is willing to arm any gangster who will cause insurrection in any democratic society. They have been behind the past upheavals in Central America, in Africa, in North Korea, in North Vietnam and in Cuba. Russia has caused more disruptions since World War II than in all the history of the human race until that time. God's day of judgment is coming for that country.

Today Russia is deeply involved in Poland to make sure she does not lose Poland. Millions of Poles would like to be free from Communism. They have no choice but to serve their masters in the Kremlin. The world was shocked when Russia invaded Afghanistan a few years ago. To date, thousands of Afghans have died fighting against Communism. They laid down their lives for it. But Russia is still there. She will subject that country to the most humiliating poverty, to the most humiliating privations, to anything that she possibly can to let them know that she rules the world. Russia is meddling in almost every country in Africa. She is meddling there seeking to bring down any democratic regime and establish a totalitarian one under the dictates of Moscow.

Russia is supporting Syria and the PLO to fight against Israel, not yesterday, not just today, but constantly, with no let-up. She has decided within her own heart to destroy Israel. God will one day deal with her because of her hatred toward the land that God loves. God loves the land called the Holy Land. It's where the Bible was born. It's where the Saviour walked. It's where the prophets lived. It is a holy land unto God. Russia will always support Syria and the PLO as long as they are antagonistic toward the country of Israel.

On September 1, 1983, a Korean commercial jetliner was shot down by a Soviet interceptor in Soviet airspace outside of Japan. All 269 people aboard the jet, including 61 Americans, died. Many NATO countries banned air traffic between Moscow and their capitals in protest against Russia.

Russia still controls areas which she once overran, such as Cambodia, Ethiopia, and Vietnam. Red Russia is still not satisfied. Her leaders have screamed that they will ultimately bury American democracy and crush the free world. That is what they hope to do.

I predict that Russia will become more aggressive in the days ahead of us. In relation to that, I further predict the world's greatest prison camps will increase and not diminish.

Totalitarian governments have labor camps. I understand that only six percent of the population of Planet Earth live in a free society. You can thank God that you are in that six percent of human beings that live in an area of freedom of thought and freedom of living.

I have seen the prisoners of slave camps of Siberia with my own eyes. I was riding that famous Trans-Siberian Express, coming up out of Manchuria in Asia, across to Moscow, through Poland, and into Europe. It took nine days to cross that great expanse. I witnessed large prison camps along the railroad tracks. The camps were located there so that the goods made in the camps could be put on the train. There was no other transportation out at that time. We waited as the train unloaded food for the camp and took on goods. We would sometimes be at a prison camp three and four hours.

We could see the inhabitants there. Their faces were lean. Some of them had pieces of old cloth or rug wired around their feet rather than shoes. My spirit heard the massive prisons of Communist Russia cry out with torture saying, "Somebody help me!" But there was nobody to help them.

When I lived in Hong Kong, I was very close to the heartbeat of Communism. I know how it slaughtered thirty million people in order to subjugate that vast land into its own dictatorship. Communist Cuba is right to the south of us. Through our own thinking and stupidity of actions, we have permitted Communism to take it. Just because there was corrupt government there, we assisted the present regime to come into power. Had it not been for America's assistance, Castro would not be in power today. The State Department helped to support him with ammunition and everything else he needed to get into power and to overthrow the former government. The previous ruler was corrupt, but we can endure corruption more than we can totalitarianism. Totalitarianism kills and slaughters. Cuba joined the Communist nations of the world in torturing its citizens who cry out for their human rights. They would like to be free.

In Communist Poland, the Party and the Army are in conflict with the workers that they are supposed to protect. The fight is not against the dentist and not against the doctors. I guess they killed all of those they wanted to. They are against the workers. They will not permit the men that work in the factories to be free, in a regime that is supposedly a workers' government. It's against its own workers. Will 1984 make a difference for these suffering people? I am afraid suffering will increase. It will not diminish.

I Predict International Terrorism

I predict for 1984 that there will be international terrorism in a great variety of nations of the world and that it will increase with intensity. There will be acts of assassination, of kidnapping, of bombings, and they will be greater than we have ever known before.

At this point there are about three hundred acts of terrorism each month, worldwide. I predict it will become worse than that. The prime targets will be businessmen. The terrorists want to fleece them of their money.

Diplomats that are taking care of their governments' business, and military officers and other people of this type will be those that will suffer the assassinations, the kidnappings and the bombings in this year before us.

In 1972, there were 206 terrorist incidents in the world. In this last year, there were 3,500. The rate increased from 206 to 3,500 in just over a decade of time. These past ten years changed the world. We have the Red Brigade of Italy. We have Carlos, an international terrorist whom the officials can't seem to catch. We have the PLO of Lebanon that tries to be recognized and yet it is a terrorist organization. We have the SLA which is the Symbionese Liberation Army. We have the IRA or the Irish Republican Army. Terrorism is contagious, like a disease. It is a very sad situation.

Men bring these things upon themselves. It is possibly because they are not judged hard enough. In our judicial system in the world today, we have decided that the one who does no evil should be reprimanded. We feel that the one who does the wrong should be set free. The judges in our country today have lost their feeling for the innocent. A lot of people say, "Well, we shouldn't have capital punishment." The man has slaughtered innocent people, and we're saying, "Oh, you must not hurt him! He only killed eight nurses! You must be nice to him. You must feed him well. Yes, he just cut eight nurses up with a butcher knife, but don't you do any wrong to him!" God will judge that kind of attitude. God hears the cry of these poor hurt people. You and I had better hear their cries also.

I Predict Cosmic Fury

I predict cosmic fury for 1984. In the Gospel of Matthew 24:3, Jesus spoke of the present generation.

"And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"

Matthew 24:29,

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:"

In the cosmic world, the sun will turn black. The normal light of the moon will fail. How awful it will be when from millions of miles away, stars begin to plummet down to Planet Earth where we live. The powers of the heaven shall be shaken. Today we can fly our planes and pilot our sea-going ships by the North Star, but the time will come when the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. We will no longer be able to rely upon anything. At that time, we are going to see that God is angry with the sins of humans that rebel against His righteousness. We will see that sin is a terrible thing. It is much worse than we ever thought it to be.

Jesus also predicted natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes, floods and volcanoes. In the same chapter, Matthew 24:7, it says "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places." The Lord predicted international unrest and violence. This is happening right now. In verse 6 it says, "And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."

This is not the fury of man, or the hatred and the meanness of man, but it is God's fury released in the elements. The greatest powers in the world still happen to be lightning that we cannot control, earthquakes that you cannot stop, and volcanoes that we have no power to subdue. Nature is yet king and God is the King of nature. It behooves you and me to walk circumspectly in our lives and that we walk not as proud and arrogant, but that we walk humbly before the Lord.

I Predict Famine

There already is famine in certain parts of the world, and it will become further widespread; and there will be pestilences. There are now also all kinds of pests with which scientists do not know how to deal. New ones appear all the time. Earthquakes are being registered in the most unusual places. The Bible says that it will be "in divers places," which means in places that they were not expected. The Lord tells us in Matthew 24:8 that "...this is only the beginning of sorrows." This means that there is more to come.

We're living in a world today that is suffering. One of the sufferings that touches my heart is that 17 million children die each year, according to the United Nations. Malnutrition is a very sad disease that takes children at a premature time.

In 1860 there were only 500 million people living on the earth. By 1983, there was such a proliferation of human beings, due to improved science and medical care that the population grew to 2 billion. That was the greatest growth until that time in the history of man. In that 80 years, we went from 500 million to 2 billion. Then by 1961, or 31 years, it reached 3 billion.

In 1982, earth's population crossed the 4 billion, 500 million line. We understand that in the next eighteen years, if our Lord tarries, it is estimated that there will be 8 billion people living on Planet Earth. That means there will be a human explosion. We have no food to feed that many people. To feed 4 billion people was almost a material impossibility. What would it be like to feed 8 billion people — twice the population of the world today? Most of the world's food comes from countries with a Protestant background: Canada, Australia, and the United States.

In 1983, the American government paid and rewarded farmers not to plant their seed. One day the world will wish to God that they had planted every seed that they could.

One of the staff members in our Bible college has just returned from India and Sri Lanka. He reports that Southern India is now into their third monsoon season with not one drop of rain and that there are cracks in the earth that you can put your hand into. The people are crying out for rain. There has been no harvest. As you know, this is also true in certain areas of Africa. It is a very sad situation.

I Predict the Toxic Time Bomb

Further, I predict that our modern world of science is creating a toxic time bomb. Toxic waste is fast becoming a global time bomb. Man will poison himself and he will die. Man has produced poisonous and dangerous materials, even in the small countries of the world. As a result of the prosperity of the industrial world, the environment of earth and the human population stand today in real danger. We are possibly in much greater danger than most of us realize. There are cyanides, pesticides, lead, zinc, mercury, discarded medicine, ore sludge, acid tar from refineries, heavy crude oil, and multitudes of other properties that modern man is creating today. Industries must dump their poisonous waste somewhere. So they use lakes and rivers and oceans and mountains and deserts and they pollute them. They pollute them with these toxic wastes that will destroy humanity. It destroys anything; vegetation, the flora, the fowl, and the fauna. It destroys everything that is there. It is the leftovers of what we call civilization.

These toxic wastes could ultimately destroy man himself from off the face of the earth. This global concern does not leave time for political power play like you find in the halls of congresses all over the world. One side fights the other for political strength and the poor man that is listening doesn't know which one is telling the truth.

Medical science is now saying that toxic waste can cause sterility, birth defects, miscarriages, cancer, as well as a multitude of other deficiencies in the human body. These toxic wastes are a critical danger to mankind.

We don't have long to reconsider and to come to know and understand just how we should live in these days. Maybe the civilization that we are so proud of isn't worth the death that it will bring upon us. Men are just finding out these things. They gleefully went their way making these poisons. Only now are we finding out what these things actually mean to the human race.

I Predict An Increase In Divorce

In the beginning of this present century, there was only an 8% divorce rate in the United States of America. By 1910, one decade later, it rose from 8% to 10%, only a 2% gain in ten years. By 1920, another decade had passed, and the divorce rate had risen to 13%, a new gain of 3%.

Then if you just advance half a decade to 1925, it had already risen to 15%, a gain of 2% in just five years, rather than 10 years. This was just after World War I, and that's when the homes began to crumble. Women had to work in the factories and other places of employment, replacing the men who were off to war. The men came back and found that their homes were not like they were when they left.

By 1940, the divorce rate was at 17%. By 1950 it was up to 23%. That is a 6% rise in ten years, or double what it had been before.

Another war took its toll in Korea, and divorce took its greatest leap. In the following decade to the 1960s, it rose to 26%. But the worst decade of divorce in our history was from 1960 to 1970 when it rose to 33%. This was a 7% gain in one decade.

In our present decade, the '80s, 55% of all American marriages end in divorce. This is especially true in places like Reno, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City and Chicago. The smaller communities have not suffered as much as the others. In some areas, uncontested divorces sell for $55.00 to $65.00. This is a national shame and it is also moral suicide. The broken home is a true evidence of the soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ. It has caused more sadness than any other sin of the people. Divorce is born of selfishness. Divorce is bred in pride, "I should be a bigger shot than you." Divorce is fed by hate, and I want you to know that selfish pride and hate come from the devil. They do not come from Jesus Christ.

I Predict Holocaust In Israel

If I might leave the domestic scene for a moment and instead look at the international scene, I would predict at this time that Israel will be in holocaust. Presently, Israel is hated more than any nation in the history of mankind. Think of it for a moment. The Communist government of China has no place in its heart for Israel. It stands up against it every time it has the opportunity. That is more than 1 billion people against little Israel with its 4 million. The government of India is against Israel, and votes against it every time. There we have 600 million more who do not love Israel. All Arab nations are against Israel. This is another 700 million, or more, who dislike Israel. Most Third World countries take pleasure in voting against Israel in the United Nations. This makes hundreds of millions of human beings who oppose the tiny nation of Israel.

Europe and the Common Market have slowly moved away from supporting Israel, mostly because of Arab oil, which they very much need. Russia, who has supplied most of the military equipment of war against Israel, is preparing to literally and physically attack Israel itself. The Bible predicts that Russia will receive the most humiliating defeat of any nation on record. God will destroy Russia. In Ezekiel, chapter 38 and 39, the terrible battle which destroys Gog and Magog is actually speaking of Russia's final decimation, when God shall bring her to her knees.

I predict that Israel will not allow outside interference with her internal affairs. I predict that she will secure herself, and her border, and in so doing, she will lose the friendship of almost the entire world. God promised in Ezekiel, chapters 36 and 37, to ultimately save the people of Israel, both politically and spiritually. They will be awakened spiritually, something that has not taken place as yet. God Himself will help that nation to come alive spiritually, and to know Jehovah personally, as their forefathers did long ago.

Israel is facing very sad days ahead without friends. It is very likely that the American government will withdraw its support from Israel, because of powerful influences in this country. However, there is no nation, or combination of nations, that can destroy Israel. God has planted her there. She will stand, whether anybody likes it or not. She will not be humiliated in war. God will rain great hailstones from heaven upon invading armies to prevent them from destroying Israel.

Those that bless Israel will be blessed by God. Those that hate Israel will find themselves in trouble with God. It would be good for all nations, especially those that are Christian nations, to pray for Israel. It is not that we dislike the PLO, the Assyrians, the Jordanians, or the Egyptians. We do love everybody, but we are living in the last days, and the Antichrist will soon come. He will make a league with Israel. He will claim to bring worldwide peace and worldwide prosperity, but he will also proclaim himself to be a god to be worshiped. In the end he will be cast down by the mighty power of God. I urge you, in Jesus' name, to be careful in your decisions, and to be thankful to God for all that He has done for us.

I Predict A Rise In The Occult

May I further predict the remarkable acceleration of the occult, of spiritism, and Oriental mysticisms. Every world empire has been challenged. Some have been destroyed by wizards, crystal ball gazers, and witchcraft. It was true in Egypt, and in Babylon, and it is true in Washington, D.C., today. There are more witches and fortunetellers in Washington, D.C., than in any other city in the United States of America. They are there for money. They are there to lie, and to deceive. If we give ourselves to them, the devil will move in and help us in many ways in order to destroy us.

We have come to that remarkable time in history when Satan is going to rise up in fury to deceive and destroy people. Pray that you will not be part of it.

Romans, chapter one, will show you why people are deceived. They have refused, and turned from, the truth of God and made themselves gods that were not gods at all. They are possessed with the same spirits that were in the wizards and those involved in witchcraft, that came against Moses in Egypt and Daniel in Babylon. In each challenge, the God of Moses and Daniel won.

America is the "number one target" of this decade for the occult. Millions of books are being printed to deceive Americans, and all you have to ask about a thing is, "What did this do for the people where it came from?" Have the people of India become the greatest nation in the world? Are they the most artistic nation in the world? Are they the richest nation in the world? What has it done for them, since it has been there for several thousand years? They cannot show one single nation that has been blessed through their witchcraft, sorcery, spiritism or occultism. Worshiping the devil, or worshiping the human mind has not brought any blessing either.

I Predict a Closeness in the Body of Christ

I also predict the coming of an inner closeness of the Body of Christ. I especially love God's promise in Joel 2:28,

"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions."

We read further in John, chapter 17, that Jesus spoke and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said,

"...Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth:

I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word...Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one..." (vs 1-6, 20,21).

Read the 17th chapter of John a few times. I believe that those that truly love God will break down the barriers of denominationalism and we will truly love and care for one another. I think that is a tremendous prediction, and I do predict it in the name of Jesus Christ.

I Predict an Outpouring of God's Power

I further predict that the greatest outpouring of God's power on Planet Earth is imminent and will come upon all people. I predict that the Holy Spirit will be poured out worldwide, and not just by nations, and it will transcend what this generation has ever expected or witnessed in the mighty, supernatural power of God. The gifts of the Holy Spirit will be in operation in the Church. It will astound world leaders and cause tremendous respect and almost a fear of the triumphant Church will return.

I predict that miracles like the raising of Lazarus from the dead and like the healing of blind Bartimaeus shall be recorded in places far and near. Everyone will have to accept them.

Multitudes shall turn to Christ in such lands as China, where in my spirit, I say that one hundred million Chinese will be saved. There will never have been a revival in the history of mankind of any dimension so mighty and so great. That will be true also in Russia. It will be true in India. It will be true in Africa. There will be supernatural phenomena that will cause these people to seek God.

The Christian press shall tell the story, because the secular press will lie about it and not tell it. Christian radio will carry the news around the world. Christian television stations will show the works of God in an unprecedented manner. We will see them with our own eyes. I predict that the coming of these miracles is imminent.

I Predict Global Rejoicing

I predict that 1984 will be a year of global rejoicing. God spoke to my heart that this newborn year of 1984 can be a time of mighty rejoicing and blessing for certain people worldwide. To multitudes, this will be a year of divine fulfillment of the desires of their hearts. To many it will be a year of enrichment, having more than they ever had before. In many circumstances, you are the beginning factor. God will begin with you and you will share it with others. Your spiritual decisions will make a difference to those around you this year. Galatians 4:4 says, "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son..." Acts 2:1 reads, "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place." We are now reaching that type of unity in today's Body of Christ worldwide. Moses appeared when the slaves of Israel were ready for deliverance. Daniel was on the scene in Babylon to speak the truths of God at the time of the greatness of the empire. He was right there on schedule.

The Word of God says it this way in James 5:17,18,

"Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit."

We predict that God is going to do supernatural things through mighty prophets in the end time. We should get ready for the greatest move of God that Planet Earth has ever known. God is going to speak to us in no uncertain terms. Many millions of people will come to know the Lord as their Saviour.

I want you to be part of the rejoicing in '84, and I want you to receive more from heaven than ever before. God is plenteous in blessing, plenteous in anointing, plenteous in goodness. Receive it from God. I pray that you will.

May the predictions that God gave me for 1984 bless you and help you.

My Challenge to You for 1984

If you are not a Christian, you won't be able to face 1984 and the future with the hope and peace in your heart that only Jesus gives.

To become a Christian, you must deal with Christ Jesus directly. In a quiet moment, bow your head and talk to Him. In your own words say something like this:

"Dear Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I believe that you died and rose from the dead to save me from my sins. I want to be with you in heaven forever. God forgive me of all my sins that I have committed against you. I here and now open my heart to you and ask you to come into my heart and life and be my personal Saviour. Amen."

If you say that to Christ and mean it, He will come in instantly. At once you will sense you have been transferred from the devil's dominion to the kingdom of God.

Read I John 1:9 and Colossians 1:13. A wonderful peace and joy will fill your soul.

I PREDICT 1984

As we face the eventful and prophetic year of 1984, there is more concern politically, economically, and even morally and spiritually, regarding the world in which we live, than in many years.

Will humanity become soulless auto-matums with the government controlling men's actions and thoughts as George Orwell predicted in his book 1984?

Will God intervene in the affairs of men in 1984 with the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit the world has ever known, astounding world leaders and causing respect and fear of the triumphant Church of Jesus Christ?

In this exciting book, Dr. Lester Sumrall gives a prophetic glimpse into 1984.

Lester Sumrall, a national world leader having travelled in more than 100 nations, addressing audiences in more than 1,000 cities of the world, has a unique understanding of <the world's conditions todAy^*-He is a pioneer in television, and founder of LeSEA Broadcasting, which owns \ and operates TV stations in Indianapolis and South Bend, Indiana. Dr. Sumrall has written over 50 books.
