Sabbath 8/6/41/120

Dear Friends,

Last Sabbath our dear friend and esteemed colleague Juan Boshoff died in Kempton Park, Gauteng, South Africa from natural causes. He was the Coordinator of South Africa and the Regional Coordinator for Africa and also Assistant Coordinator General.  He was well esteemed by all who knew him and he was a credit to the faith. His wife Simone and granddaughter Jacqueline remain at home and he has other children and grandchildren in South Africa and New Zealand.

Warren Clarges will succeed him as the Coordinator for South Africa and Regional Coordinator for Africa in the English speaking work.

After the collapse of the WCG system there were very few who continued on and worked for the promulgation of the faith.  Juan was one who did that work.

None of us know if we are to inherit the First Resurrection (No. 143A) or if we are consigned to the Second Resurrection (No. 143B).  Each of us runs as though we are to win the race and it is by faith that we are saved. Those of us who are granted the First Resurrection have a very short period in which we are asleep awaiting the Messiah.  Let us pray that we will all see each other in the First Resurrection and very soon.  Then we will all be together working for eternity.  We all need to be friends together getting along well as eternity is a long time to be together if we do not love one another.

We will be issuing a series of papers on the Last Days for the Day of Trumpets (No. 136) and then for the Feast of Tabernacles dealing with the Wars of Amalek and the wars of the Fifth and Sixth Trumpets and then for the 1260 Days of the Witnesses (No. 135) at Jerusalem and then for the Advent of the Messiah (No. 210A) and (210 B) and the Wars of the Last Days and the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141B). We will deal with the wars of the Subjugation of the Earth and the Wars of Armageddon and the Captivity.

Our safety will be in the Hand of God and not in any mythical Place of Safety (No. 194).

The Just shall live by faith. All of us are kept alive to fulfil our destiny.  For those of us God foreknew from before the foundation of the world, He predestined to be chosen and then called and once called we are justified and then glorified and conformed to the image of His son. If God is for us who can be against us?  All things work together for the good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose (Rom. 8:28-31).  Remember we are called according to the purpose of God and not for any whim or fancy. We work in fields for the same wages of salvation.

Make no mistake we all receive the same wages through the grace of God.

Pray for us all and particularly for those in South Africa who need encouragement in the faith.

Wade Cox
Coordinator General.
