"A NEW LOOK AT 1975 IN PROPHECY"
In July of 1966, my wife and I started to listen
to Gamer Ted Armstrong on the radio speaking for
the Radio Church of God, which turned into the
Worldwide Church of God. Our first booklet received
written by Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, was titled
"1975 In Prophecy." What was written in this little
booklet did not happen then, but we can see the
prophecies are coming true on the world today, 2016!
In this article we will address some of these
prophecies that was written in the 1950s booklet
"1975 in Prophecy." Page 1, "Feverishly, science,
technology and industry are working to produce a
fantastic push-button world of leisure by 1975. The
emphasis today is on "saving steps. " Everything is to
be done for us, by machines, just push the magic
button and your work will be done automatically."
[Today, 2016 we see robots taking jobs away from
people!]. Another quote from 1975, on Page 2, "Once
again, as at the tower of Babel, God is saying
"Behold..., this they begin to do: and now nothing will
be restrained from them, which they have imagined to
do. Come, let its go down and shorten these days, lest
no flesh should be saved alive!" (Compare Gen. 11:6
and Matt. 24:21-22).
In our push-button society 2016 today, this
leisure society, we are told in the 1975 booklet,
"Leisure time will be abundant. " The problem will be
what to do with it. And that's the kind of problem that
leads to broken homes, immorality, crime and universal violence!" Just as we see today 2016, time on the hands
of people that do not have a job. "Will people know how rightly to use this leisure time? No, we see today,
"Juvenile delinquency and marital infidelity will increase, and one in every three marriages will end in divorce.
"But what they are producing is a western world of soft degenerates, immoral, irresponsible, sick of mind and
diseased of body, while at the same time the forces of government and science combine to produce engines of
destruction that can blast human life from off this planet!"
Just as today, 2016, we see nations after nation wanting the nuclear bomb and missiles to carry them to
destroy whatever does not please them. The world has entered into a push-button warfare that can destroy the
whole earth! Page 3, "Mankind does not know the way to peace happiness and joy. " "God Almighty is working
His Purpose here below! We are entering the very Crisis at the close of this allotted 6000 year period for
working out that purpose. " "Yes, the supreme crisis of the ages are upon us. Today we're in the cold-war lull
before the real storm breaks in imagination-defying fury. Then, suddenly, God will step in and take over!"
Doesn't that sounds like today, 2016?
On page 4, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong wrote, "Russia started World War III, Russian-Style, immediately
after World War 1I. But that war is a psychological warfare of propaganda, infiltration, subversion,
demoralization. It is a warfare that has attacked our minds, our moral and spiritual values, rather than our
bodies and our earthly possessions. Almost no one has realized it, but that war is described in the prophecies!"
Today, we see the psychological warfare being displayed by the communist, socialist left leaning government
of the United States. "We are not fighting a single nation in a military war, but a gigantic world-wide
plainclothes army, masquerading as a political party, seeking to conquer the world with an entirely new kind
of warfare! It the kind of warfare we do not understand. "It's a kind of warfare we don't understand, or know
how to cope with. It uses every diabolical means to weaken us from within, sapping our strength, perverting our
morals, sabotaging our educational system, wrecking our social structure, destroying our spiritual and religious
life, weakening our industrial and economic power, demoralizing our armed forces, and finally, after such
infiltration, overthrowing our government by force and violence! All this, cleverly disguised as a harmless
political party." Does this not sound like the Democratic party of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Bernie
Sanders! They are destroying this country from within! Another quote from page 4, " Yes, God Almighty says
of this Satan system: "I am against thee! " (Ezekiiel 38:3). Eventually, He will destroy it and its evil system from
the face of the earth. But of us, prophecy says that we allow ourselves to be mixed up with foreigners:..
foreigners eat away his strength, unknown to him. " God says, we fly, like a silly, senseless dove to seek alliances
with foreign nations, forsaking God. (Hoes 7: 8-13, Moffatt translation). This pictures the United State and
British Commonwealth today, 2016. It would be good to read the 1975 in Prophecy booklet, if you can find it
today! ☜

“Stranger”
Deuteronomy draws our attention to the concept of a kingship for the house of
Israel, a subject not elsewhere mentioned in the Pentateuch. “When you art
come unto the land which the LORD your God giveth thee, and shalt possess
it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all
the nations that are about me; Thou shalt in any wise set him king over you,
whom the LORD your God shall choose: one from among your brethren shalt
you set king over you: you may not set a * stranger over thee, which is not your
brother”(Deut 17:14-15) !!!
God knew that the house of Israel would want a king to rule over them, because
the surrounding nations had kings. Bad choice! Notice the results of their
decision making. Deuteronomy 28:43-45 where the blessings and cursings are
found. “The * stranger that is within you shall get up above thee very high;
and you shalt come down very low. He shall lend to you, and thou shalt not
lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. Moreover all these
curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake you, till you
be destroyed; because you hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD thy God,
to keep His commandments and His statutes which he commanded”.
