                        GOD'S MESSAGE FOR AMERICA TODAY

                             AMERICA THE CONDEMNED!

              The United States, our beloved country, yours and mine,
         now faces TOTAL DESTRUCTION!  What a paradox.  No nation was
         ever so rich, none ever so blessed by God, now we stand
         condemned to total disaster!

              It will come soon!  Maybe not this year or the next, but
         much sooner than anyone thinks!  WE ourselves have already
         CAUSED IT!  This nation is now heading rapidly into the most
         terrifying havoc the mind of man could contemplate.  Listen,
         this is real, no prophet of doom crying wolf.  It is the
         TRUTH from the God of all creation.

              A third of our people, white English speaking people and
         minorities with us, will die in a disease epidemic such as
         the world never experienced, resulting from imminent famine.
         Our cities will be destroyed, and with them another third of
         all our beloved peoples will die.  This military destruction,
         of course means nuclear destruction, hydrogen bombs.  The
         third of our peoples left alive will be taken away form our
         country as slaves to enemy lands overseas!

                     Politicians and Theologians Won't Tell

              Candidates for President know many of the causes drawing
         us rapidly into the vortex of utter diaster.  Why are they
         afraid to tell you the real truth about inflation, balance of
         payments problems with other nations, dollar devaluation, and
         many other evil causes which they knowingly perpetuate?

              This was all prophesied more than 500 years before
         Christ as we shall show you.  But the world, its theologians
         and religionists, have been blind to these words of God for
         nearly 2500 years!  Why do not theologians, doctors of
         divinity and of theology, evangelists, and religious leaders
         shout this warning to you?  THEY SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND
         GOD'S PROPHECIES!  They do not preach what God's Word says.
         They take a piece of a sentence or a paragraph here or there
         out of context, yet leave 98 percent of the Bible unread and
         unpreached!

                                 God's Warning

              Those who are of God and follow and obey his
         commandments do understand God's prophecies, God's purpose,
         and God's master plan for man.  God has sent this WARNING to
         all who can hear and receive these words.  Most of you may
         not believe it, but these things are going to happen to YOU
         and America.  It's your life we are concerned about.  We want
         you to know what's going to happen to you, your town, or
         city, and your country.  And most of all we want you to
         understand WHY.

                                Ezekiels Vision

              One of the major prophets of God, prior to the time of
         Christ, was the prophet Ezekiel.  Ezekiel, under the Old
         Testament priesthood, had been a priest.  But he had been
         taken captive by Babylon with other Jews in the captivity of
         King Jehoiachin of Judah.  He was a prisoner by the river
         Chebar in Babylon.  In a vision it seemed to him the heavens
         opened.  He recorded what he saw.

              The first chapter of the book of Ezekiel records a very
         mysterious sight he saw in the heavens in this vision.
         Ezekiel was seeing the heavenly throne of God in his vision.
         He was to write a most important PROPHETIC WARNING FOR YOU
         and me in this latter part of the 20th CENTURY!  The voice of
         God said to Ezekiel: "I send thee to the children of Israel,
         to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they
         and their fathers hath transgressed against me  even unto this
          very day " (Ezekiel 2:3).  The "children of Israel" could, and
         here did, include all 12 tribes.  However, Ezekiel was sent
         expecially to "the House of Israel," a term which refers only
         to the people of the northern 10-tribed kingdom, often
         referred to as the "Lost Ten Tribes."  They were never called
         Jews.

              The first place in the Bible where the name  Jews  is used
         is II KIngs 16:6, where Israel, allied with Syria, is at war
         against the Jews.  The southern kingdom had retained
         Jerusalem as its capital, but had seceded form Israel.  They
         were led by the tribe of Judah and were called Jews.  But
         none of the northern 10 tribes, with the capital at Samaria,
         were ever called Jews.  The term "house of Israel" in the Old
         Testament always refers to those of these 10 tribes.  The
         term "children of Israel" quoted above, refers to all 12
         tribes, both nation, the house of Israel, and the house of
         Judah.

              The more specific commission of Ezekiel is mentioned in
         chapter 3 verse 1 where God said, "Go, speak unto THE HOUSE
         OF ISRAEL."  Again in verse 4: "And He said unto me, Son of
         man, Go, get thee unto the HOUSE OF ISRAEL."

                          Ezekiel Never Went To Israel

              Now at this point, understand this: Ezekiel was never
         allowed to travel.  Ezekiel was a captive, a prisoner.  His
         country, Judah, had been invaded, and he was a prisoner of
         war in a prison camp in the nation of Babylon.  Further, the
         HOUSE OF ISRAEL, the nation to which he was sent, had been
         taken captive more than a hundred years before Judah's
         captivity.  The house of Israel had been taken to Assyria on
         the southern shore of the Caspian Sea as slaves.  And before
         Ezekiel became a prisoner, the Assyrians themselves had gone
         into captivity, together with their Israelite slaves.  They
         became known as the "Lost Ten Tribes."  Where they migrated
         to is revealed later in this book.  The thing you need to
         know for now, is that the United States and Britian are the
         modern day House of Israel.

              The prophet Ezekiel was never freed or allowed to travel
         from his prison in Babylon to the house of Israel.  The
         lamentations and woes of the message to be carried to Israel
          never occurred in Ezekiel's time or later.  They are to
          strike America and Britian in our time.   This is borne out by
         several other prophecies!  So Ezekiel merely received and
         wrote down the warning message.  It was a prophecy for the
         latter part of the 20th century.  YOU ARE READING THAT
         MESSAGE NOW!

                            Watchman to Give Warning

              God said to Ezekiel, "Son of man, I have made thee a
         watchman unto the house of Israel" (Ezek. 3:17).  Later, God
         puts this another way.  God says, "Son of man, speak to the
         children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the
         sord [military invasion] upon a land, if the people of the
         land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their
         watchman; if when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he
         blow the trumpet, and warn the people; then whosoever heareth
         the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the
         sword come and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own
         head...But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul"
         (Ezek. 33:2-6).

              Continuing, "But if the watchman see the sword come, and
         blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the
         sword [military or atomic invasion] come, and take any person
         from among them...his blood will I require at the watchman's
         hand.  So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto
         the house of Israel [U.S. and British peoples]; therefore
         thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me"
         [Ezek.  33:6-7).  So God has set a watchman over the modern
         HOUSE OF ISRAEL.  This watchman is to watch events as they
         fulfill prophecies leading up to what Ezekiel is to warn the
         lost 10-tribed Israel about.  The time is now, to warn the
         people of the 20th century house of Israel, especially the
         American people, of this terrible fate about to befall.  YOU
         ARE BEING WARNED!

                               Ezekiel's Warning

              Now what is the very crux of Ezekiel's warning?  It is
         found in chapters 5 and 6 of Ezekiel.  God says to 20th
         century British and Americans (5:8-9), "Therefore thus saith
         the Lord God: Behold I, even I, am against thee and will
         execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the
         nations.  And  I will do in thee that   which I have not done,
         and wereunto I will not do any   more the like, because of all
         thine abominations!"   Compare these verses with Matthew
         24:21, Daniel 12:1-2, and Jeremiah 30:3-7.  There can be only
          one  time of trouble more severe than any before or since.
         These four prophecies all speak of THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
         Jeremiah shows it will be primarily that of the British and
         Americans.  Ezekiel shows, as quoted below, the nature and
         extent of that trouble.

              Ezekiel's prophecy continues, "Wherefore, as I live,
         saith the Lord God, Surely, because thou hast defiled my
         sanctuary with all they detestable things, and with all thine
         abominations, therefore will I diminish thee; neither shall
         mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.  A third part
         of thee shall die with the pestilence and with famine will
         they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall
         fall by the sword [nuclear destruction of our cities, see
         later, from chapter 6]...and I will scatter a third part into
         all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them, and I
         will be comforted: and THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I THE LORD HAVE
         SPOKEN IT IN MY ZEAL, WHEN I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MY FURY IN
         THEM" (Ezek. 5:11-13).

              This is to be the most terrible fate ever to happen to
         any people!  God is going to send it upon peoples who, more
         than any others, have KNOWN HIS WILL, and have ignored it and
         rebelled against Him!

              God has blessed us as no other nations.  Not only has He
         blessed us with material wealth and nation greatness
         unmatched, but He has blessed us with His TRUTH, His Word,
         the Bible, which our nations have spurned.  We have made
         athesitic evolution the very foundation of our educational
         system in which we rear our children.  Hundreds upon hundreds
         of our churches have idols that are adored.  We have profaned
         God's sabbath day and His Holy days.  Our sins are
         monumental!  (The remainder of this book points out these
         sins and how to follow God and his ways.)

              Continuing the prophecy in chapter 6, verses 6-8, God
         says, "In all your dwelling places [different countries to
         which Israel shall have imigrated by the 20th century] the
         cities shall be laid waste...and the slain shall fall in the
         midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.  Yet will
         I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that escape the
         sword among the nations when ye shall be scatterred through
         the countries."

              The phrase "Ye shall know that I am the Lord" is
         frequently used by Ezekiel, designating Christ's Second
         Coming in glory and power.  This great calamity foretold by
         Ezekiel, actually shall begin in the "GREAT TRIBULATION" but
         will continue throught the "DAY OF THE LORD", the time of
         God's "FURY" mentioned earlier, and until Christ's coming in
         supreme power to rule!

              Later in the 6th chapter, Ezekiel definitely pin-points
         this prophecy to the "house of Israel," which is 20th century
         United States and the British nations:  "And they shall know
         that I am the Lord, and that I have not said in vain that I
         would do this evil unto them.  Thus saith the Lord God, smite
         with thind hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for
         all the evil abominations of the house of Israel!  For they
         SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD, BY THE FAMINE, AND BY THE
         PESTILENCE...thus will I accomplish my FURY upon them.  Then
         shall ye know that I am the Lord!...(verses 10-13).  This
         removes all doubt that this prophecy pertains to the Lost Ten
         Tribes of the house of Israel who, today are the United
         States and British nations!  The time of this prophecy is
         made sure.  It shall begin with the Great Tribulation, and
         carry on through the Day of the Lord, right up to the time of
         Christ's second coming.  Jeremiah chapter 30 makes this even
         more certain.

                             The Great Tribulation

              Ezekiel gave us a preview of what will happen to the
         lost 10-tribes Israel.  Matthew gives a general description
         of its enormous severity in Matthew 24.  Jesus himself is
         here speaking.  Jesus said the sign by which we may know when
         the end of this present world and the coming of Christ in
         near, is that "this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached
         in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then
         shall the end come" (Matthew 24:14).  And Jesus continues,
         "there shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
         beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
         And except those days should be shortened, ther should no
         flesh be saved [left alive]; but for the elects's sake those
         days shall be shortened" (Matt. 24:21-22).  Mark 13 and Luke
         21 speak of this same time of great tribulation.  Besure to
         take the time and read all three accounts in full.

              Now notice Daniel's prophecy of the same GREAT
         TRIBULATION: "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the
         great prince which standeth for the children of thy people:
         and there shall be a TIME OF TROUBLE, such as never was since
         there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time
         thy people shall be delivered every one that shall be found
         written in the book; and many of them that sleep in the dust
         of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life"...
         (Daniel 12:1-2).  Daniel shows when it shall occur, just
         before the resurrection and Christ's return.

              Now notice Jeremiah's prophecy of the same event.  Begin
         in Jeremiah 30, verse 5: "For thus saith the Lord, We have
         heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.  Ask
         ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child?
         Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as
         a woman in travail, and all faces turned into paleness?  Alas
         for that day is great  so that none is like it : it is even the
         time of Jacob's trouble..."  This tells upon which nations
         the Great Tribulation will primarily fall.  The United States
         and the British are primarily 20th century "Jacob."  See the
         chapter on the United States and Britain in prophecy.  We
         have yet to come to a time when men will clutch at their
         stomachs and loins, in fright and fear and in pain as a woman
         in childbirth.  Such a time is now JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

              Now remember, Ezekiel showed that our nations, the third
         remaining alive, shall be scattered, driven away from our own
         lands, and shall become slaves in enemy nations.  Jeremiah 30
         now brings out this fact.  Continuing with the the 7th verse:
         "...but he [Jacob] shall be saved out of it.  For it shall
         come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, That I will
         break his yoke [slavery] from your neck, and will burst your
         bonds; foreigners shall no more enslave them.  But they shall
         serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will
         raise up [from the dead] for them."  Then in the following
         chapter Jeremiah shows the New Covenant being made after
         Christ's return in power and glory.  "Behold, the days come,
         saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the
         house of Israel, and with the house of Judah...I will put my
         law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and
         will be their God, and they shall be my people" (Jer. 31:31-
         33).

              Continuing in Jeremiah: "All your lovers have forgotten
         you; they do not seek you; for I have wounded you with the
         wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for
         the MULTITUDE OF YOUR INIQUITIES, because your sins have
         increased.  Why do you cry about your affliction?  Your
         sorrow is incurable.   Because of the multitude of your
          iniquities, because your sins have increased, I have done
          these things to you"  (Jer. 30:14-15).  So as we said at the
         beginning of this chapter, "we, ourselves, have caused it."
         We, the modern nations of Israel, are bringing this terrible
         destruction and national captivity upon ourselves.  It is
         because we have sinned and turned away from God's way and
         truth as revealed in his Word, the Bible.  Unless we repent,
         and start living  God's way and start keeping God's
          commandments , as given in this Book, then we must suffer the
         consequences.

              Ok, lets tie all this together.  In Leviticus 26 and
         Deuteronomy 28, God promised ancient Israel, under Moses,
         national wealth and greatness UPON OBEDIENCE.  But if they
         continually disobeyed, God would remove the birthright
         promise for 2520 years.  This expired in about A.D. 1800 and
         Britian and America, as modern Israel, received it and
         suddenly grew until we possessed more than three fourths of
         all the wealth of the world.  In Leviticus 26 God says that
         once He has fulfilled His unconditional promise to Abraham in
         our individual and collective national greatness, if we
         continue in our sins, He will punish us as we described
         above.

              In Leviticus 26:19, God says, "I will break the pride of
         your power."  Already Britain's sun has set.  It is no longer
         the greatest empire in world history.  It has lost its
         tremendous possessions.  It is now one of the smaller
         nations.  The United States still has military power but she
         is afraid to use it, has no pride in it.  We could not win
         the Korean war, and we couln't whip little North Vietnam.
         The United States is now discredited, despised, and hated
         throughout much of the world.  The United States is on the
         way down and out.  God is in control and he sets nations and
         rulers in power and removes them too, to accomplish his
         purpose.

                               A Remnant Escapes

              God promised he would provide an escape for those who
         kept His Word.  Ezekiel 6:8 says "Yet will I leave a remnant,
         that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the
         nations..."  Compare this with Revelation 3:10.  It is
         speaking of the "Philadelphia" era of God's Church, during
         the latter half of this 20th century, and says, "Because thos
         hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from
         the hour of temptation [trial or tribulation] which shall
         come upon all the world..."  Finally, compare that with
         Revelation 12:14, speaking of a time very soon to come, after
         the war in heaven, when Satan and his demons are cast back
         down to earth:  "And to the woman," the persecuted true
         Church of God, "were given two wings of a great eagle, that
         she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she
         is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time [3 1/2
         years] from the face of the serpent."

                     Will You Be Counted Worthy to Escape?

              The average reader will probably pass over this totally
         unheeded.  Woe to you who do.  You were warned.  Jonah gave a
         similar warning to the ancient city of Nineveh, they  did
         listen, repented, and saved themselves alive.  Will the
         United States listen?  This warning is direct from the Word
         of God.  Those who heed this warning and turn back to God's
         way's, his sabbaths, and his commandments, will be counted
         worthy to escape this great tribulation.

              In Summary This is God's Message to America Today

              1. America, you had the blessings of Abraham.
              2. Your sins are great and increasing.
              3. The handwriting is on the wall.
              4. America, your days are numbered.
