"And in His Name shall the Gentiles trust." Matthew 12:21

"Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, in the feast day, many believed in His Name, when they saw the miracles which He did." John 2:23

"I must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world." John 9:4-5

"In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples unto Him, and saith unto them, I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with Me three days, and have nothing to eat: and if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
And His disciples answered Him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? And He asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
And He commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and He took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to His disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people. And they had a few small fishes: and He blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and He sent them away." Mark 8:1-9

GREETINGS, friends! Do you know that THIS day the Lord has especially prepared for YOU? Even a day in which you are intended to laugh and shout and sing for sheer joy of heart – that being the rightful heritage of every son and daughter of Jesus Christ. It is my God-granted commission to tell you that, and to remind you that trouble, misfortune, sorrow and tragedy are but events of destiny for those who have not accepted the ABSOLUTELY FINISHED WORK wrought out on Calvary for our complete redemption by Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Have you not heard me say, have you not read the words of Christ, that HE constituted the LIGHT of the world while in the world He remained, but that "NIGHT cometh when no one can work" (Jn. 9:4)? What! Do you mean to tell me that IF that true light which He delivered to the Apostles had been faithfully handed down by all to their successors, that there would not have been plenty of TRUE LIGHT left in which to work? Did not the Apostles carry on and work effectively? We might liken their light to the evening dusk; yet what marvelous works they wrought in that "dusk"! But our Lord added, "While men SLEPT, an enemy came and sowed the tares" (Matt. 13:25). THAT, beloved, is what Christendom has been fed on – the TARES sown by Lucifer. And to the INexperienced eye of young Christendom, the tares have been eaten, believed to be the true wheat. Therefore, ours has been a PSEUDO-Christianity: we have eaten the tareseed and we are sick unto death as a result – now Christendom is on the verge of worldwide suicide. How lamentable!

You Christians, I ask you pointedly: can you actually believe that IF the words and the works of the Christ had been preached and wrought by all of our churches down through these many centuries, that we would now be working feverishly to destroy one another? My personal judgment is: UTTERLY INCREDIBLE!

Although you or I today cannot change the course of world destiny, we can do something about it for ourselves. THAT is the great joy I have: to bring you the Euaggelion, which is the Greek for "Wondrously Happy News" – of marvelously good things! What else can it possibly be for the sons and daughters of Jesus Christ? Did He not say to His disciples, "A new commandment I give unto you, that you LOVE ONE ANOTHER – even as I have loved you" (Jn. 13:34)? And that "love" was so great that all the way to Calvary He went – not merely for His friends, but for His enemies as well! What WONDROUS LOVE! Therefore I repeat: nothing but the most marvelously GOOD or HAPPY NEWS can I bring you from my Lord. What a Savior – for our HERE and for our NOW!

Do you know the meaning of the word "Jesus"? Why did He repeatedly speak of "believing in His Name"? Because His Name told the true story! It means "Jehovah-Savior" or "Preserver." Actually, "Jehovah" is a concocted name by man. Its original form was spelled Yahweh. The Nazarene's name was "YAhoshua." The shua ending means "PRESERVER," or "Savior." Thus, "the Yahweh-Savior," or "Yahweh's Preservation." But His Name, like other long names, got shortened for ease of use, resulting in its present form of Jesus. THAT is what our Lord meant, and what the Apostles meant: IF you believe "in His Name" you would be believing that HE was that PRESERVATION out from heaven which had come into our world. HOW can we limit that preservation which the ever-living God IS, to apply to the "soul" of man for an unknown world and a future tomorrow? THAT spurious doctrine is a part of the TAREseed sown by Lucifer.

In this talk I want to deal again with one of His twoedged swords – even a prophecy wrought in drama. Quite recently I showed you the prophecy He wrought out when feeding the 5,000 with 5 barley loaves and 2 small fish. This time I will deal with His feeding 4,000 when He had 7 loaves of bread and 3 fish. You will also see that I use precisely the same formula as employed when explaining the feeding of the 5,000. Since the miracles were the same by nature, the key to their understanding must likewise be one and the same.

This account we find in Matthew 15 and Mark 8. Again the situation was the same as before: that multitude was in a wilderness; there were no stores or markets – nothing to eat. You good and simple ones who have swallowed Lucifer's "interpretation" of Jesus' teachings, tell me: WHY didn't Christ merely preach to the multitude, and in substance say, "I feed your SOUL in order that it may go to heaven when you are dead. And should you faint, and maybe die before you reach home – so what? The sooner you will be in heaven!"

Emphatically do I say: THAT would have been a logical line of thought for the Christ to hand them, IF the Christian beliefs common to our day are the true teachings of our Lord.

HEAR The Voice of Tomorrow: the reason why our Lord didn't even hint at such a thought was because He was and IS the everliving PRESERVER for man's HERE and NOW! It becomes utterly fantastic for human beings to claim the work of preservation wrought by the Christ on Calvary has nothing to do for our here and now, but is merely confined to one's "soul" for an unknown world and a future tomorrow!

Christians speak of "salvation." The word is all right, but we have attached to it WINGS and harps of gold while loafing away eternity on crystal streets! Supposing your gasoline has leaked away when your motorboat is far from shore, and you find a storm driving you out to sea. But a bigger boat or ship meets up with you and takes you safely back to land. That man or captain can then be said to have PRESERVED your life; he became your "preserver." You could use the word "savior," but not so likely. And THAT is the precise meaning of the Hebrew shua, and of the Greek sotara. THAT is the way it was used throughout the Old Testament times. When Israel found themselves in the wilderness without food, and at times without water, their Yahweh manifested as their PRESERVER; and when they were compassed or threatened by mighty armies greater than their own, their Yahweh again became their PRESERVER. And THAT is how our Lord manifested on every occasion to the Israel of His day.

Here we find 4,000 men, besides women and children, in the wilderness. Many of them had come a great distance, and they were tired and famished. HE had compassion on them. The selfsame Yahweh-Spirit incarnate in the Nazarene again demonstrated Himself as their "PRESERVER." THAT was the very meaning of His Name! HE was true to His Name: He was their "Savior."

When I explained to you the feeding of the 5,000, we used that number and multiplied by the fraction constituted by the 2 fish and 5 loaves. So similarly now: write down the 4,000 times 3/7. That gives us 12,000 to be divided by 7, netting 1,714+. But also, as in the previous situation, there was a leftover, or surplus, to be taken back. That is shown us by the ten units the first basket contained; but 7 basketfuls were gathered up. That means 70 to be subtracted, yielding a net count of 1,644+, which we call years.

Looking back at the wording of the account, we find the Lord saying, "...They have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat" (Mk. 8:2). With God, the 3 days would have been 3,000 years to man, but since Jesus the Man was a 100 to 1, it becomes 300 years, prophetically. Therefore, the prophetic measure of this miracle-drama went into effect about 300 years later.

In the previous miracle of feeding the multitude, the numbers were 5, 2 and 12. TWELVE is Israel's number. But in this miracle we find no 12, but we find 4, 3, 7 and 10. TEN is the number of the Gentiles (their father Noah being the 10th from Adam [Lk. 3:36-38]).

It was in 311 and 313 A.D. that pagan Rome officially accepted Jesus Christ. The three "days" or centuries had passed by without the Gentiles having had anything to eat; many had traveled a long way (time) and were tired and famished. So the Lord of Compassion looked upon their need, and decided to dispense unto them the Bread of Life. THAT commenced the Christian era in Gentile lands. So, to 311-313 A.D. we add the 1,644 years, which takes us into the last years of the decade of the 1950s. But do not forget that the account in Mark's Gospel states "about" 4,000 men. Twenty or even more over that number would still have been "about" 4,000 men. By which we see that His feeding the four thousand becomes another prophecy in perfect time-agreement with the previous one; only here the factors are somewhat different, bespeaking another event. The first one showed how the 12 tribes of Israel were to be REgathered, but in this feeding He dealt with the Gentile nations (indicated by the 3 and 7 equaling 10), with but 7 baskets gathered together. The number "7" is that of His Church. And it is written that "He shall visit the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His Name" (Acts 15:14). THAT is what the devout of Christendom have awaited for over 16 centuries: to hear that call, "Come up hither!"

Clearly is it written that all things must first come to pass unto the House of Israel. Therefore was it Scriptural that fragments of the 12 tribes of Israel were to REgather in Palestine BEFORE His Gentile church is called out of this world. THAT was in 1948. Turning back His sacred pages of history, we find that Rebekah remained barren throughout twenty years after getting married to Isaac (Gen. 25:20-21,26). It is quite possible that sacred history will repeat. But whatever the precise number of years to intervene, we know through an abundance of concurring prophecy that now OUR TIME IS SHORT.

Did you notice that "fragment" word I used? You will find it in the Gospel accounts. In the first instance we are told that they gathered up of the "fragments" that remained 12 baskets full. And THAT we saw fulfilled in 1948: there were but "fragments" of world Jewry gathered back to Palestine.

LOOK at that same awesome word used in connection with the SEVEN baskets full of fragments. You will find that precise word in Mark 8:20. ...Which means exactly the same for the Church as for the Jews – just "fragments" of the organized Christian Church among the Gentiles will be "gathered up."

Did He not say, "Many are the called, but FEW are the chosen" (Matt. 22:14)? That statement tells the same sad story – because Christendom has accepted Lucifer's interpretation of the true teachings of our Lord.

Yet HEAR The Voice of Tomorrow: "TODAY is the day of the Lord's preservation": tomorrow is no man's to command. "TODAY, harden not your heart…" (Heb. 3:15).

As our Lord had compassion on the multitude in the wilderness, so similarly has He also compassion on every Gentile Christian who has striven to follow Him in the wilderness of this world. It is not His Will that you should faint by the wayside. HE owns the very universe; the earth and its fullness are His. But have you the THREE of the fish, and the SEVEN of the Bread? That is, have you the KEYS to the Kingdom, for the HERE and for your NOW? When you have, you will find the same as did those 4,000 men – that regardless of how barren the place and how hopelessly small the supply, HE is the ever-present PRESERVER and Supplier in the HERE and for your NOW!

Thousands of letters which I have received tell the same story, that our Lord is our PRESERVER and DELIVERER now – when to Him we look for that deliverance. While those who understand the KEYS to the Kingdom, and USE them, enter into the life of the DOUBLY BLESSED – here and now.

To have and use those Keys to the Kingdom HERE and NOW is your blessed privilege; and what a privilege it is! For, it is a joy to share with you that which the Lord has revealed to me. And to that end did He speak to me on June 22nd, 1965, saying, "CALL MY PEOPLE TOGETHER!" That is why these messages go out to span the continent. Can't you hear Him calling to you who have been brainwashed by the doctrines of men? "Come unto Me, all ye that labor…and I will give you REST" (Matt. 11:28). Not the faintest allusion to the future and their "souls," but purely a PRESENT invitation to the entire being of man!
