Moments of Meditation
by I'rediiu W. llennett
"If my people, which are called
by my name, shall humble them-
selves, and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven, and
will forgive their sin, and will heal
their land." (II Chron. 7:14.)

Our reaction is that her mentor,
or mentors, being of the Evil One,
are undertaking to project a coun-
terfeit image of a coming one to
establish a peace that does not
include the recognition of the
Kingdom that is to be given to the
Saints of the Most High (Dan.
7:18 and 22).
We repeat: "Should not a people
seek unto their God? ... To the
law and to the testimony: if they
speak not according to this word,
it is because there is no light in
them." Jesus enlarged upon this
with words full of trenchant
meaning:
"The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of
light. But if thine eye be evil, thy
whole body shall be full of dark-
ness. If therefore the light that
is in thee be darkness, how great
is that darkness!" (Matt. 6:22-23.)
Following this our Lord gave a
stern warning (Luke 11:35): "Take
heed therefore that the light which
is in thee be not darkness!"

will make a treacherous attack
upon God's people, the Anglo-
Saxon-Celtic people, who are mod-
ern Israel in the world today (see
Ezekiel 38 and 39.)
This brings up a vitally impor-
tant question: How many men in
government in Washington, D.C.,
are accepting the word of a crys-
tal-ball medium in regard to Rus-
sia? Are they in "rapport" and
does this account for the concert-
ed endeavor on the part of all de-
partments of our government to
come to terms with the Soviet
Union? in actions bordering on
determined appeasement, we are
Jesus Christ our Lord."
