II Corinthians 4:5-7

"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"I have also spoken by the Prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the Prophets." Hosea 12:10

"And ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation...." Exodus 19:6

"Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of His people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
Behold, the Name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with His anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue as a devouring fire: and His breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err." Isaiah 30:26-28

"Because, even because they have seduced My people, saying, `Peace'; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter: say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it." Ezekiel 13:10-11

Good morning, friends; and may the glory of the face of God shine into your life this day!

Last time I was speaking to you about the United Nations Organization, and how it was foreshown in Bible prophecy, even through a living drama directed by the hand of Almighty God. You were shown how the reigns of King Saul, of David, and of Solomon were prophetic portrayals of the dispensation of Law, and of our Christian era, and finally of the 1,000 years of peace, of prosperity and happiness which shall cover the earth. You were also shown how David's son, by the name of Absalom, born to him by a foreign princess, was a prophetic portrayal of the United Nations Organization. You were shown how the life of Absalom, and his scheming to murder his father in order to ascend the throne, was a forecast of how the United Nations will arrive at the stage where they will try to set up a one-world government, to the overthrow of the independence of the nations, especially those of Christendom.

Clearly has God told us through His prophetic mouthpiece, that He has wrought prophetic similitudes through the ministry of the Prophets. While Moses told us with equal clearness, that God had chosen the Israel people to become a nation of priests and prophets unto Him. Therefore, the entire history of the Israel people constitutes God's stupendous revelation to man of the world's entire future. When we understand the meaning of the names involved, and we use the numbers given us, the prophetic picture takes on form and beauty.

As I said, Absalom means `father of peace.' Because he was a son of David, who represented the Christian dispensation, then the treason wrought by Absalom in the last part of David's reign becomes that absolute prophetic picture of the United Nations, which tries to make people believe that it is the father of peace: that is, the keepers of peace. And they, like Absalom of old, have "stolen the hearts" of our people. It is not that the United Nations has accomplished anything worth mentioning, except to blunder and put on a great show, yet it comes natural to us who are a peace-loving people to desperately want to believe that the U.N. will maintain the peace.

In the 30th chapter of the Prophet Isaiah, in the 26th verse, we find that the Lord speaks of that day when He should bind up the breach of His people and heal the stroke of their wound. In the next verse it goes on to tell of His great indignation with all the nations of the world because of the existing conditions. Now listen carefully to the words in verse 28:

"And His breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err."

These are the very days of which God spoke, because He has already bound up the breach of His people, while the stroke of their wound will not be completely healed until the bodily return to earth of their Messiah. But as God speaks of these very days, He says that there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err. Carefully observe that this word in the original, which has been rendered "people" in the Authorized Version, is exactly the same word as elsewhere is ordinarily rendered "the Gentiles." Were we to be consistent in our rendering of the originals, this passage would have read, "And there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the Gentile nations, causing them to err." And that bridle on the jaws of the Gentiles, God predicted for these very days in which you and I live right now.

We think of a bridle in connection with a horse, and it is used for controlling and for guiding that horse. In the Bible, the horse is used as a symbol of war, or rather, the power of war. That is precisely the avowed purpose of the U.N. Organization – to so control and guide the powers that could lead to war, to the end that we may have perpetual peace. And then observe the words of God, that this bridle on the jaws of the nations shall cause them to err. There is no possible interpretation of that statement. We must accept it as it is. In other words, one titanic blunder.

I am well aware how you want me to prophesy unto you of peace and unheard of prosperity for ever and ever; that is human nature. But The Voice of Tomorrow has the specific mission to set the truth of God clearly before you, and to show you through countless prophecies, which are in agreement, that these days in which we live are the closing days of this era. God sent John the Baptist to his Chosen People, before the coming of their Messiah, to turn the hearts of the children unto their fathers and the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and to make straight the way of the Lord (Matt. 3:1-3; Lk. 1:16-17; Mal. 4:6). Therefore has He also spoken to me in these last days, specifically on June 22nd, 1965, saying, "Call My people together," while after a brief pause the Voice repeated for emphasis, "Call My people together."

He wants His people warned in the clearest of words that these are the days for which He has waited, and a judgment is to be poured out upon the nations. Therefore, He wants those who will receive Him to have extra time to prepare themselves, and be in readiness to face the Judge of the quick and the dead.

I would like to quote a more extensive prophecy through Ezekiel, which is found in chapter 13, commencing in verse 10.

"…they have seduced My people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered mortar: say unto them which daub it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it. Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, I will even rend it with a stormy wind in My fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in Mine anger, and great hailstones in My fury to consume it. So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD."

This was written for Israel, but I cease not to tell you that Christendom is end-time Israel; not any particular nation or nations, but rather Christendom at large.

These are the days when we are talking about peace as humans never have before. And when the spirit behind our desire for peace became great enough, we did precisely what this prophecy foretold: "and one built...a wall." That is, one nation built this great wall unto peace. Stand back from the United Nations building in New York and look at it: you will see how it presents the appearance of a gigantic wall. Then God goes on to say through His prophetic mouthpiece, that others daubed it with untempered mortar. Now, the thought He is trying to convey is this: that if the mortar had been tempered mortar, the wall would have had a chance to stand, but since the mortar used was untempered mortar, well, it just cannot hold, and so the wall will have to fall when the storm arises.

What was the untempered mortar which others used in the building of this wall? I wrote about that in 1950 in my book on Pyramid symbolism, and I showed how on the very wall within the Great Pyramid, the United Nations came into being at the precise spot where the granite wainscoting on the wall ended and the limestone commenced. I said at the time that it showed us the good and sound intentions of the Christian nations in organizing the United Nations, but that before it was completed, they entered into terrible error. That error was taking into the organization, godless, Christ-rejecting nations. In solid stone, thousands of years previously, God showed precisely the same verdict about the United Nations as He spoke through His Prophet Ezekiel, which I have just read to you. Through the Prophet, He named it "...untempered mortar...," while in the Great Pyramid, He showed it through the ending of the granite and the commencement of the limestone. The untempered mortar symbolizes non-Christian nations.

Hear again the word of God, "You have seduced My people, saying, `Peace'; and there was no peace!"

That was the situation at the time when the U.N. came into existence, and it has continued and increased in intensity ever since. Has history ever recorded a time when people are so feverishly praying for peace? And still there is such widespread unrest, strife and actual war scattered throughout the world? Had we set up an organization of strictly Christian nations, and put teeth into it, and been willing to take action instead of merely bandying words, we could today have had conditions of real peace, with the prospects of perpetual peace.

But unfortunately, Christendom has rejected the Word of God, and have concluded that they can implement peace, and peaceful coexistence with the enemy, by taking into our midst those who deny God and who reject the Lord Jesus Christ. I warn you that it will not work. Not that I expect you to believe my word, but my word is founded in an abundance of Bible prophecy, which cannot be understood in any other way. There are even prophecies which by exact time measures, show the very years and months that the U.N. was conceived and finally came into legal existence. And concerning their wall, God has spoken to us both through His Prophets as recorded in our Bible, as well as by measurements in solid stone in the Great Pyramid of Gizeh, that this wall which is the edifice of the United Nations shall fall because it was set up with untempered mortar. That is, it lacks the binding power.

Where can be the bond of unity or binding power with Christian nations on the one hand, and Christ-rejecters, God-deniers on the other hand? You know as well as I, there is no unifying power in that organization today. It started with a wonderfully good intention, but became a mess: today we are trying to make the best we can out of it. But God has foretold us that there is a storm about to break, and when that storm strikes, this wall with the untempered mortar shall fall to the ground.

When Christ is rejected, the nation must fall.
