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."

"And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, He was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto Thee on the water. And He said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret." Matthew 14:23-34

"Unto the woman He said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." Genesis 3:16-19

"…For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the Devil!" I John 3:8

Greetings, friends! I trust you are already among those who are waking up with a shout of joy upon your lips to greet the new day; but if that is not the way you are meeting the new day, then you are missing a lot. And it is a simple matter to join that happy throng, for Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God, went to Calvary, and wrought a complete work of atonement for you and me, for our here and our now – not for a human soul in a future world and a hoped-for tomorrow, but for the complete human being who lives in this world right now.

I am not denying the human soul; I am not saying that Christ did not accomplish a work for the human soul, but I am saying that our priesthoods have "limited the Holy One of Israel" throughout this long black night of spiritual darkness "while men slept" (Matt. 13:25). How much can you read, see and understand during the blackness of night? When you have answered that question, you have also made a declaration of how little Christendom has understood of the true teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, Who was the One on the Throne beside God the Father, Who also came to earth and to Calvary went, to complete redemption for the human race.

Were not Adam and Eve human beings with bodies of blood and flesh? Was it not upon their bodies of flesh and their earthly labors that the curse descended? In the I John 3:8, we are told that the Son of God became manifest in human flesh "to destroy the works of the Devil." Since the primary results of the works of the Devil, in the garden of Eden, brought a curse upon the human body and upon the labors of man – to bring him sorrow and pain – then by what stretch of imagination can you claim that Jesus' work on Calvary destroyed the works of the Devil, by accomplishing something for the intangible soul of man in the dim and distant tomorrow after one is dead? My dearly beloved, you know as well as I do – it just does not make sense!

God Almighty has granted me hundreds of revelations to make the Bible live and talk as it was never known before. In The Voice of Tomorrow God is proven to the masses; the proof is so multitudinous and cross-checking that it becomes utterly impossible to deny. And now for years I have labored to put into print the detailed teachings of Jesus the Son of God, in order that man may enter into the Kingdom of God right here and now. Yes, my friends, heaven can be transported to earth by the power of God, or at the request of a son or daughter of Jesus Christ – that your own paradise may commence right here and now.

The Record tells us that Jesus Christ delivered to Peter the Keys to the Kingdom of God. But why aren't we told anything about those Keys? For the simple reason that as of old it repeated: men fell asleep after night had set in; then an enemy stole in and planted the tareseed. This tare-seed has grown to choke out almost all of the true wheat; people have eaten and are sick, and civilization is on the brink of suicide.

Jesus accused the theologians of His day by saying, "You have taken away the key of knowledge: you entered not in yourselves, and those who were entering you hindered" (Lk. 11:52). The Keys are, basically, understanding – that is, understanding the basic laws of the Kingdom. Having come into an understanding of the spiritual laws governing the Kingdom of God for the here and now, and also using the material counterparts, we enter into the lot of the doubly blessed here and now!

In my last message I showed you how the miracle wrought by Jesus of Nazareth in feeding the 5,000 by means of 5 loaves of bread and 2 small fish, constituted a detailed prophecy for the Jewish people – how they would spend their time in the Gentile lands of spiritually barren deserts throughout a period of 1,916 years (plus some months and days), before they would again be a nation in Palestine. And that prophecy was fulfilled almost to the day. In fact, by means of other prophecy, I predicted about six months beforehand the very day that Jewry declared themselves a RE-born nation in Palestine.

Did you know that practically everything in our Bible is prophecy? Let us look to the time that Esau and Jacob were born; did you know that Esau is a type of world Jewry, while Jacob is a type of the Church of Jesus Christ? Did you know that Isaac and Rebekah were married 20 years before the twins were born unto them? Multiplying this by 100 to raise it to the power of the Christian world, we get a period of 2,000 years. That takes us into the very years in which we now live. Therefore, when world Jewry declared themselves a reborn nation in their land in midMay, 1948, that saw the birth of Esau – figuratively speaking. How much later his twin brother was born we do not know, but according to the pattern of the prophecy, we know that world Jewry will scarcely get themselves straightened out in their land before the spiritual Church of Jesus Christ will be born – that is, taken right out of this world, body and soul. Beloved, those days are upon us right now!

HEAR The Voice of Tomorrow: you have not long to wait until that glorious day when the very heavens shall light up with the brightness of the returning Son of God, coming to earth to set up His Kingdom in peace and in righteousness. Therefore spoke the Voice of God to me on June 22nd, 1965, saying, "Call My people together." There are several reasons for this call going out to you: that you may KNOW and understand the days in which we live in order to get prepared for what looms on the near horizon; and also that you may fully understand the ways and means of entering into the spiritual Kingdom of Jesus Christ here and now, that you may have His full and absolute protection throughout the days which lie ahead.

In my last message I also explained other details of the prophetic drama, when our Lord fed the multitude by a few loaves of bread and fish. Christ was portrayed as coming to take out His faithful. That was shown us by His walking on the storm-tossed waters of Galilee. The Sea of Galilee typifies the entire human masses throughout the world. The waters getting very boisterous under the weight of a heavy storm show us how mounting world troubles will soon grow so grave as to threaten the very Church of Christ. Don't you ever kid yourself that the Church of Christ is going to be taken out of this world years before the trouble begins! You cannot find anything like that in the Bible; no, not even by type. No doubt you have heard that a hundred times and more, but The Voice of Tomorrow declares in the plainest of language, that is false doctrine. It is another portion of the tareseed sown by the enemy "while men slept" (Matt. 13:25). His 12 disciples, struggling furiously with the oars on the storm-churned waters of Galilee, were the correct prophetic picture of the end-time Church of Jesus Christ, which will find itself in the midst of mounting world turmoil – growing so grave that it will threaten its very life. Then, in its blackest hour, when everything appears hopeless, will Christ the Lord come into the Church, and immediately will His Church find itself "on the other side," all in peace with Jesus Christ her Lord.

Do you know what part of the Galilean coast the disciples landed on, on that particular occasion? It was in the plain of Gennesareth (Matt. 14:34). The word means "the garden of the Prince." My dearly beloved, can you not see how God left no stone unturned in order to portray every little detail for us? Is not THAT where His faithful hope to land – in the "garden of the Prince"!

But let us backtrack a short distance to the time when the Lord appeared upon the waves of the sea. He spoke words of PEACE unto them. Then Peter called out to Him and said: "IF it be Thou, Lord, ask me to come unto You" (Matt. 14:28). The Lord called back to him to COME, and Peter set out from the boat, walking on the waves toward his Lord. But seeing the boisterous sea, he trembled with fear and commenced to sink. Did you know THAT was also prophecy? Everything in the life of our Lord was prophecy – wrought in drama and hidden by the spoken word.

Peter portrays one of the great, organized churches of Christ. The fact that he looked upon the waves and feared, commencing to sink, was a prophecy of one of our great end-time churches which is going to become engulfed in the end-time turmoil of this age, and of how she will start to sink and sink and go down, only to be rescued by the Lord Himself at the last split moment, as it were. I think it would not be too difficult to name the church, but I will leave that for you to ponder a moment.

Truly, this night of spiritual darkness has been long and trying. The faithful have struggled at the oars with great determination to get across, but the progress has been so very, very slow. The night has been dark, while the storm has increased its intensity.

HEAR The Voice of Tomorrow: everything that Jesus wrought was prophecy, and everything that happened in connection with His life was prophetic. Here, as the disciples were rowing across the lake, we are told that they had traveled from 25 to 30 furlongs. Although that was a measure of length in those days, the word means "that which has been established." "That which has been established" are the degrees of latitude and longitude. By a large-scale map at hand, I find that one degree of longitude on the sea of Galilee measures about 64¼ Roman miles. Bear in mind that Jesus lived under Roman rule. So to get the prophetic measure, we merely write down 64¼ x 25, and by 30, in order to get the two measures indicated by the 25 to 30 furlongs. However, we should not consider those measures as precision; for at nighttime, in a storm under conditions of near darkness, it is not too likely that the disciples could gauge the distance to a precision place. Nevertheless, those measures were prophetic, and will approximate the two eras it intended to portray. You will find that the first adds up to 1,606 years, which added to the time of this miracle, takes us into 1630 to 40 A.D. That was the time that the Protestant reformation was really getting under way. That is also the measure of time from Rome's acceptance of Christ into the very years in which we now live. While the other measure of 30 furlongs computes to about 1,930 years, which added to the time of the miracle takes us to the opening decade of the 1960s and beyond. But as already stated, we should not consider those measurements precision because of the nighttime, stormy conditions, which could add substantial time to complete the trip to the other side....

But our churches have "limited the Holy One of Israel." That is why Christendom is now floundering on the brink of destruction. The words of the Nazarene have been handled like the words of some ordinary mortal. The works by the Christ have been considered as works of compassion wrought through the power of God. Yes, indeed, they were works of compassion wrought through His mighty power, but immensely more! How can we tie up God in a little bushel basket? His words and His works can be attacked from every angle and still yield their marvelous treasure....

Do you know that the Lord Jesus Christ has untold treasures for YOU right here and now? Did He not cry out upon the Cross, "It is finished" (Jn. 19:30)? Why shouldn't we take Him at His word? Why not believe His every word? You have been taught to believe that we must expect sorrow, unending trouble and toil here on earth in order to get lollypops for our soul in an unknown world and a hoped-for tomorrow. IF that is true, then what are we going to do with the words of our Lord wherein He said, "NIGHT comes when no one can work" (Jn. 9:4); and, "While men slept, an enemy sowed the tares" (Matt. 13:25); and also, "When the Son of man returns, shall He find THE faith on earth" (Lk. 18:8)? All of which shows us that the early Christian fathers went to sleep – letting the Devil fill the churches with the poisonous tareseed, until now there is scarcely more than the shadow of truth left.

HEAR The Voice of Tomorrow: the work of atonement on Calvary's Cross by the Son of God was for you and me right here and now. When you are a son or daughter of Jesus Christ, and have the Keys to the Kingdom, you will find that the Kingdom of Christ becomes a reality for you in this world right now. Don't you owe it to yourself – and even to Christ – to try these Keys?

Not so long ago man was stunned by the power of the little atom when loosed in the detonation of the first atomic bomb. But I can assure you, the power of God is much greater. Why not make use of it?
