"The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD. So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away. But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son. Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not My people, and I will not be your God." Hosea 1:2-3,6-9

"And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms. For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink. Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths." Hosea 2:4-6

Peace and joy be unto those who read these words; for, the Lord has asked me to call His people together. Why should they be called together? There are two reasons for that: the Word proceeding from His mouth is like a two-edged sword – one edge is the message of truth and great joy, even tidings of wonderfully good things; while the second edge is the word of prophecy which shows us of things to come. He wants His people called together to hear the joyous news of marvelously good things and, secondly, to be warned of things to come, that one and all may hasten their steps to be fully prepared for the stupendous days which lie ahead. Rejoice, and shout for joy, for the coming of our Lord is close to hand!

I will now quote from Hosea 2:15:

"And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt."

There is so much in the first and second chapter by this Prophet which I would like to quote to you, but space forbids. It might be well at your convenience to read both chapters; it will help you to better understand my message now. But when you read those chapters, don't make the mistake of saying to yourself, "This was spoken for the Jews who lived thousands of years ago." Yes, indeed, it was spoken for the Jews who lived long ago; but that is the very mistake our spiritual leaders have made down through the centuries: they have "limited their Holy One of Israel" (Ps. 78:41). They have read these accounts of Jewish history, and the warnings and the prophecies given by God unto His people, then they have stopped right there. But it was the selfsame God of Israel Who led and guided them in every matter, Who used these people and gave them the warnings and prophecies which would, when properly understood, reveal God's Will and become startling prophecies unto end-time Israel (which is present Christendom). It is Christendom which has lifted Judah's spiritual mantle and become the true servants of God, even though, like the Jews of old, we have failed Him dismally.

Perpetually am I counseling you to sing and shout for joy of heart, because the heritage of the sons and daughters of Jesus Christ is a most glorious one, even for our here and now! I just quoted to you how God through His Prophet promised that ultimately He would give to His people fresh vineyards, that they might sing again as in the days of old, even as in the days of their youth when they came up out of the land of Egypt. And He went on to say that He would give the valley of Achor for a door of hope. Achor means "trouble," or that which causes trouble. That is what I've told you repeatedly: that if we are the true children of God, then is so-called "trouble" but an angel in disguise!

That is what God said to His Prophet – the valley of Achor, or that vast expanse of trouble, would constitute "a door of hope" to open up, that His people might sing as in the days of old. When we come to know our Lord and Savior as He wants us to know Him, when we have been born anew into His Kingdom and live as His sons and daughters, then whatever befalls us, which we are prone to think of as trouble (or Achor), is in reality "a door of hope": that is, our opportunity to look to God to mightily undertake – even to manifest the glory of His delivering power! Not only to deliver, but to make that which we thought of as trouble the actual foundation for, or the substance of, a greater good! Some of you may have read how a great many years ago, when through a so-called accident, I broke both wrists simultaneously. That spelled trouble, and plenty of it! But immediately I knew that it was God's love to me-ward, and therefore I thanked Him and commenced to sing within my heart. As a result, those two broken wrists became the means of my coming close enough to God to commence receiving a series of revelations which led to my present work, and the consequent rejoicing of thousands of people.

Wherever the spot of a "Valley of Achor" for you may be, shout aloud for joy of heart, because that will give you the opportunity of calling upon Christ our Lord to deliver you, and to make that trouble spot the stepping-stone unto greater things!

Now for a brief moment I want to share about the substance of these first two chapters of the Prophet Hosea. In substance, the name (Hosea) is the same as that of our Savior, which means just that – "the Great Deliverer." These first two chapters deal with the sins and errors of His people, which in turn become the sins and errors of Christendom. Christendom is that people which are supposed to have accepted the Great Deliverer. Therefore, the message is even for us. When we read those chapters, we see how the Prophet was asked to take unto himself a prostitute for a wife. She bore him a son by the name of Ammi, which means "my people," and a daughter by the name of Ruhamah, which means "I have had compassion" or mercy (Hos. 1:6-9). That is the very story of Christendom: it is we who became "His people," and it is upon us He has lavished His great compassion. But as we read on, we see how God uses these names, but prefixes Lo-, which becomes a negation: that is, "not My people," and "not pitied." That is, He will have no compassion upon us. Why? Because we have become the children of the prostitute Gomer, who was the daughter of Diblaim (verse 3).

Do you know what those names mean? Gomer means "completeness" or "perfection," while Diblaim means "a double-sized loaf of bread." In this symbolic language God is talking to us about "socialism." Yes, you heard me correctly – socialism! Gomer was a prostitute begotten by this double-sized loaf of bread. Bread links with our livelihood, our means of subsistence; and the prostitute portion rests in the fact that you can't find socialism in the Word of God. We were His people, but God changes His mind and says we are not His people when He sees that we have taken unto ourselves a system which has "nothing in Him" (Jn. 14:30).

Socialism is a system which has nothing in Him. Socialism, which is a sister of Communism, pretends to double the size of our "bread," and to make it complete or "perfect" in that it proposes to supply an abundance for everyone, whether or not they ever do an hour's work. I have no illusion that many will receive my message, because it is human nature to appreciate getting much for nothing and yell for more. That is the society of Christendom as we know it today.

Let me quote from chapter 2, verse 5:
"...she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink."

That is the madness we witness today: the politicians who make the most promises of bringing us the greatest pot of gold from the rainbow's end are the ones who are voted into power. And the ones who do from little to nothing for their living will vote for the one who promises to "double up" on the size of their cake. But as we read on concerning the Will of God, we see that it is in His mind to hedge up our way with thorns, and to make a wall that we shall not be able to pass (verse 6). God has in mind to make it so impossible for us that we should even come up against a stone wall, and therefore be forced to turn unto Him again.

Dozens of times I have shared with you that it was on June 22, 1965, early in the morning, that God spoke to me saying, "Call My people together." After a brief pause He repeated the same words with emphasis. Do you know what June 22 was? It was what we call the summer solstice – that is, the longest day of the year, when the sun has reached its greatest northern declination and again turns south. Hear The Voice of Tomorrow: in the summer of 1965, Christendom saw its greatest degree of good and success that it will ever see during this dispensation. The sun, which symbolizes Christ our Lord, commenced to withdraw, true to His prophecy concerning Loammi and LoRuhamah. He has commenced to turn back because He sees us as no longer His people, upon whom He will not have mercy. I am not speaking of the individual; I am speaking of Christendom at large throughout the world. As you hear the news and read the daily press, you will see from time to time how the situation worsens. And according to His Word of truth, we shall find ever-increasing briars hedging our path until we come up against a solid stone wall. God has decreed judgment upon our generation….

You may tell yourself, "That man is all wet!" when you read that I speak against our multitudinous socialistic legislation; yet with all that within me is, I tell you in the clearest language I can command: you can't find it in the Word of God! Therefore does God speak of these legislations as "the children of prostitution," because we have gone contrary to His injunctions, and become unfaithful to our Lord and Redeemer. It may be human to seek one loaf for nothing – and shout that we want two; but I'm here to tell you that it is contrary to the Word of God. Therefore, are we under judgment, and our way ahead is going to be filled with ever-thickening brambles, until we come against a solid stone wall. Then will Christendom understand that we have sinned, and we will then commence to seek the Lord in earnestness of heart.

REPENT! REPENT! The time is short!
