There are many subjects which are presently of great concern to humanity and also occupy the minds of the believers. The change in climate, the natural disasters, the so-called “war on terror,” the rise of energy prices, the social injustice, the globalisation, the decline of the U.S. dollar and the introduction of the Euro in the oil countries, the unification of all religions and churches under Rome, the political constellation of Russia – Iran – China, the peace process in the Middle East, the theory about the two Palestinian States, the Jerusalem-question, and, last but not least, the world government.

On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, we were reminded of the signing of the “Roman Treaty” in March 1957. Beginning with December 21st, 2007, there will no longer be any passport verifications or border controls between the 27 countries of the EU. The last world power is taking on shape.

On October 4th, 2007, a ruling in the European Parliament in Strassbourg ridiculed the biblical teaching of creation. The majority of the votes, 48 to 25, decided that only the theory of evolution should be taught in the schools. The blasphemers of God are also becoming increasingly brazen. One of them chose the title “The Insanity of God” for his book, another picked the heading “The LORD is not a Shepherd.” Ungodliness is, indeed, on the rise, as foretold for the end time. The whole world has become as “Sodom and Gomorrah.” The divine order ordained by God Himself for marriage and family is considered to be outdated, and homosexuality, which is contrary to the divine order of creation, is openly accepted as normal.

In this Circular Letter we cannot go into detail with all these subjects. All those things are predicted in the Holy Scripture for the end time. In the Prophet Isaiah’s writings we read, “The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.” (24:29). That, however, is not the end; it is only the end of this old earth, which is doomed to pass away. The LORD, our God, has made provisions for a new beginning and has therefore given us this promise, “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” (Isa. 65:17). That is exactly how it will be. After the terrible end there will be a new heaven and a new earth (Rev. 21) wherein dwelleth righteousness (2. Pet. 3:13). Amen.

No one can stop the course of history. God has already decided all things, and they will come to pass according to the time plan for all of eternity. The most important thing is that we are now found to be in the Will of God and that God’s pleasure rests upon us, so that we can be among those who are ready for the Return of Christ and can escape all that shall come upon the earth (Lk. 21:25-26).
