"…Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee." Mark 5:19

"Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink." Numbers 20:8

"And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth. And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp." Numbers 11:31-32

"And I said unto them, If ye think good, give Me My price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for My price thirty pieces of silver." Zechariah 11:12

Greetings, friends! Isn't it wonderful to be alive, and to enter a new day with a shout of joy? And if you did not shout with joy when you started this morning, it is high time you wake up to the possibilities which Christ bestowed upon us, and to the perpetual and irrepressible joys which are the constant possessions of the sons and daughters of Jesus Christ!

I think it would be in place to quote from our Lord by saying, "...Take heed [of] what you hear: with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you...," and that, "...unto you that hear shall more be given" (Mk. 4:24). If today you will hear The Voice of Tomorrow, which makes plain the teachings of Christ our Lord, then more shall be given you, promised the Son of God. How utterly lamentable that Christians go through life in the strength of their own limited understanding and in the strength of their own puny weakness, not knowing that Christ our Lord established for us a spiritual Kingdom before He left this world, going back to the Father. And if we are citizens of that Kingdom, and sons and daughters of His, then it becomes our right as sons and daughters of His, living in His Kingdom, to enjoy its abundance, good, truth and beauty, bubbling over with joy as we scale the peaks of achievement, walking with Him on sunlit carpetries abloom with happiness.

Do not misunderstand me to say that we should seek great riches as reckoned in this world, nor that we should labor to have many houses, and several cars of the newest models. No, I am not talking about any such matters. I am only trying to put across this one point: that Christ did not suffer and die to save the human "soul" for a future life and world (which man knows nothing about), but that the Son of God suffered and paid the price to the utmost iota to redeem mankind – that is, humanity as we know it in this world; and through that redemption to constitute us His sons and daughters, that we might again reenter the lost paradise here on earth, and live to enjoy the glory of the primitive pair, with immensely more added!

Here, just as I am glancing into my Bible at random, I see these words where Jesus said, "Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for you, and has had compassion on you" (Mk. 5:19). Why, oh why, didn't He say to the man to tell his friends that the Lord had "saved his soul" so that he would get pie-in-the-sky in some future day? But no, our Lord lived in the present and wrought for this moment in this world of hard facts and cold knocks (as it is known to the average person). There isn't as much as a hint in Scripture that our Lord ever discoursed about the human soul. He was a Realist: He was practical: He only concerned Himself over matters which people could understand. He knew that if they could come into the right understanding and faith in the Son of God, then would their lives become glorified and a song of joy burst from their lips.

There is no need to be concerned over more cars or newer models, neither over the size of one's bank account. Those who know Jesus Christ and who understand the Keys to the Kingdom for our here and now, possess an everlasting treasure which is far beyond the worth of all the world's gold. Can a new car, or a million dollars in the bank, save you in a split moment when you are in extreme danger? Can the riches of a Rockefeller feed you when you are hungry and there is no food within reach? But when one million or more of the seed of Jacob-Israel found themselves in the wilderness and hungered for a bit of ordinary meat, God sent them such an abundance of it immediately that they killed, ate and piled up the remaining birds to a depth of many feet. In fact, there was such an immense store that they continued gorging themselves for a whole month, until they got sick and many died as a result. And when in the same wilderness the same people thirsted for lack of water, not having had it for a long time; when their throats were parched and they felt weak and wondered if they had come into the wilderness to die from lack of water, the ever-present God heard their cry; He saw their distress, and He listened to His servant Moses. Immediately He pointed out to Moses where he should stand and strike the rock, which when Moses did, water gushed out in a great abundance, flowing away from the rock in rushing streams so that a million people and more, together with their innumerable herds, drank to their fill and blessed the Lord their God (Ex. 17:3-6; Num. 20:8-11). Could the latest model Cadillac or Rolls-Royce or all of the gold in Fort Knox have met their needs in the wilderness? That is why I say that to have and know how to use the Keys to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ for our here and now, constitutes a treasure far beyond all earthly riches possessed by man.

Is it possible that you are not aware that Jesus the Nazarene, Who announced Himself as the Son of God, was the one and same Spirit as spoke to Moses in the wilderness? Many people are not aware of this, but it is a matter easily established from Scripture. When speaking through His servant Zechariah concerning His coming days in the flesh, the Lord God of Moses said they would "weigh for My price 30 pieces of silver" (Zech. 11:12). And again it is recorded that it would be said to the returned Messiah, "What are these wounds in Thy hands?" and He would reply to them, "The wounds I received in the house of My friends" (Zech. 13:6). Fail not to observe that in all of these instances the personal pronoun was used, identifying the future Messiah with Himself. In fact, there are numerous ways in which that truth can be established – as for instance in His saying to Isaiah that, "My glory will I not give to another" (Isa. 42:8; 48:11). Yet the very glory of God Almighty was made manifest in and through the life of Jesus the Nazarene, when the Lord God of Moses had entered into human flesh for the absolute redemption of His Own people, as well as for all those who would receive Him.

Again through His servant Moses He spoke, saying that He would raise up to His people another Prophet like unto Moses, Who would speak the very words of God, and that people would have to hear that Prophet, for if they would not hear that Prophet, they should be cut off (Deut. 18:15,18-19). That expression – being "cut off" – was the equivalent of death. Now, stop to think: there were provisions in the Mosaic Law, through sacrificial rites, whereby any member of the congregation could receive forgiveness and cleansing from whatsoever sin he had committed. Yet here God foretold through the mouth of Moses that Another would arise, the greatness and power of Whom would be so tremendous, and His words so important, that no provision within the Mosaic Law could save a person if the word of that Prophet were to be rejected. Can you not see that such power would entail or require none less than Himself coming into human flesh? Manifestly, when the God-Spirit came into human flesh and proved Himself to His Own by countless signs and feats of power, that people would be required to accept Him.

The Lord answered Pilate that to become a King had He been born into the world (Jn. 18:37). Previously He had told His disciples very clearly that He would be going away (Jn. 16:28), yet that He would not leave them alone, but would come again unto them (Jn. 14:18, 16:22), to abide with them forever. Now, since Christ was born to be a King, surely you can understand that He would abide within His Own kingdom. And since He stated that He would not leave them alone, but continue with them forever, that necessitates His spiritual Kingdom being here and now. There cannot be any ifs, buts, or maybes attached to that. If, then, the Kingdom of Christ our Lord is here and now, which His words certainly prove, then why not become a citizen of this Kingdom right now (unless you already are)? And when you are a citizen of His wondrous and present Kingdom, and live as a son or daughter of His, using the Keys to the Kingdom, then does your life take on a double blessedness. Instead of being knocked from pillar to post in an unending series of grief and disappointment, you enter into the life of the doubly blessed, and meet and greet every day with a joy-shout (that maybe awakens your neighbors). At times you look out upon the world and feel yourself on the verge of tears, in compassion for those who have been completely blinded by Lucifer, and whose life is more or less a continuous round of what we call hell right here and now.

We who have commenced to enter into the joys of Christ's spiritual Kingdom here and now do not know the meaning of sorrow and suffering, because the Lord God is our King, and Christ our ever-present Standby, Who guides our every footstep and leads us beside the deep-moving waters. We know no fear, because the power of Almighty God is our shield and mighty defense. We know no hunger, because the goodness of this earth and its fullness belongs to our Father, and He feeds us abundantly. We know no despair, because we go from each success to greater achievements. We are forever bubbling over with joy in the recollection of the mighty works He has already done for us, and in the morning we wonder what gem or treasure He is going to place in our hand by eventide.

I remind you of the words I read a moment ago, "Beware how you hear" (Mk. 4:24; Lk. 8:18). And that, my friend, applies to you this split moment. For if you reject these words, which are the truth of very God, then will you live to regret it, and that much sooner than you anticipate. On June the 22nd, 1965, God spoke to me saying, "Call My people together." After a brief moment He repeated for emphasis, "Call My people together." Do you suppose that these are not momentous times in which we live? There are tremendous and earth-rocking events on the world horizon. For these His people must be prepared; how can you be prepared unless you understand? When the nations of the world go mad, and the very earth shakes under the concussion of the A and H-bombs, and many people go insane because of the things which have come to pass, then, I ask, "Where will you stand?" Do you have the Keys to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ for the here and now, and know how to use them? When many others are losing their minds, will you be able to rejoice and sing from sheer joy of heart? Will your inner peace be unruffled, knowing that the hand of God Almighty is your shield and impregnable defense, even the massive fortress in which nothing can touch you? Hear The Voice of Tomorrow: those are real possibilities, which can be yours when you decide to become a citizen of the spiritual Kingdom of Jesus Christ for the here and now, and come into the possession of the Kingdom Keys, and use them as a son or daughter of Jesus Christ.

Hear the words of our Lord: "Howbeit in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Mk. 7:7). Maybe you attend church faithfully, and have ever since you were a youngster. And if so, then in all probability you tell yourself with a long face, "Well, I must be prepared to suffer much here and now, even to go through hell (as they call it), in order to get my pie in the sweet by-and-by." But did you hear the words I just quoted to you from the Son of God? "...in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." There you see for yourself how our Lord clearly stated that a great deal of that which is carried on in the form of worship of God, is but vain tactics. Why? Because its form and substance is largely the doctrines and commandments of men! That is what I keep reminding you of, that our Lord said that after His departure an enemy would steal in to sow the tares in the night, while men slept (Matt. 13:25). The tares have so filled Christendom, and its people have eaten so much thereof, that they are sick and filled with misery, and now on the very brink of international suicide.

Oh to be sure, we have the U.N., and there may even be some world-known pontiff giving an oration, speaking of its wonderfully good work and aims and its still more marvelous destiny. Yet the fact remains that God has pronounced the U.N.'s absolute death sentence, and that its aims will fall flat to the ground. Christendom is to be taken across the barrel and given the works....

I repeat my question: "Will YOU be able to stand when that day comes?" That is why God has asked me to "Call His people together": that they may be warned; that they may come into understanding, and have the Keys to the Kingdom of God for the here and now, in order that as the sons and daughters of Jesus Christ they may live without fear, having the absolute guidance and protection of Almighty God.
