The Lost Master Key Has Been Found

Chapter Overview

There Is Purpose

Why This Ignorance



This may sound incredible, but it's true. Editors, newscasters, foreign correspondents do not understand the real meaning of the world news they report, analyze and discuss. Heads of government are utterly unaware of the true significance of the very world-shaking events with which they deal. They have no conception of where these events are leading. Incredible? Perhaps - but true!

Winston Churchill declared before the United States Congress: "He must indeed have a blind soul who cannot see that some great purpose and design is being worked out here below of which we have the honor to be the faithful servants." But he did not understand that purpose! That great purpose long ago was master-planned by the Master Mind of the universe.

There Is Purpose

It is true, though almost totally unrealized: Mankind was put on this earth for a PURPOSE! And the Maker of mankind sent along with the human product of His making an INSTRUCTION BOOK to reveal that purpose and to guide man in happily, enjoyably fulfilling it. But the human race has rejected the revelation and the guidance and has preferred to stumble on in the darkness of its own futile reasonings.

About one-third of that Instruction Book is devoted to basic education - revealing to man the necessary foundational knowledge otherwise undiscoverable and unknowable: knowledge of what man is, why he is, where his destiny may lead, how to reach it and live happily along the way; revealing knowledge of the true values as distinguished from the false; knowledge of the way to peace, happiness, abundant well-being. In other words, the most necessary of all knowledge - the foundation on which to build discoverable knowledge.

Another approximate third of that Book is devoted to history - to those events and experiences fulfilling the master planduring the first four millennia of man's mortal sojourn, as examples for our admonition and guidance today.

And then approximately a third - grasp this! -an entire third of our Maker's revelation to mankind is devoted to prophecy- writing the history of future events before they occur. These foretold future events reveal the great purpose being finally worked out - being brought to its completion.

Why This Ignorance

Now see why heads of state, news analysts, and the great minds of our time do not comprehend the real meaning of world events as they are shaping up right now.
