INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE       DFO 1349
(Compiled 1/83, by Apollos, from: 129: Intro; 1364:73,74; 251:15,19; 960:33,66; 399:2; 773:8,9; 107:48; 64:3)

       1. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE REVOLUTION, THE LORD COMMANDED US TO "PUT ALL THESE THINGS IN A BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE."--"Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, & heard it, & a Book of Remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord & that thought upon His Name. And they shall be Mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in that day when I shall make up My jewels; & I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth him." (Mal.3:16,17.)

       2. RECORDS & RECORDERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT & NECESSARY THROUGHOUT HIS WORD, & many times they were commanded to "write all these thing in a book" that they might be remembered. So herein is the thrilling, inspiring account of how God planned this Family & carried me through 64 years of preparation & generations of Godly parents, grandparents & great grandparents to get us as far as we have gotten today in our Worldwide Revolution for Jesus!

       3. I WAS BORN FOR THE JOB!--The Lord knew what He was going to do with me before I was ever born! (Jer.1:5.) God made & designed me for the job.--It was born in me & inherited from my Mother & grandfather & my Father & his father & on down the line from both directions! They were all genuine true children of God who fought the fight, the good fight, & who kept the faith & went on to a great crown of life.--And for which reason you today are also CHRISTIANS & the children of God!

       4. "A GOOD MAN LEAVETH AN INHERITANCE TO HIS CHILDREN'S CHILDREN." (Pr.13:22.) And what better inheritance & heritage could anyone have than a good Christian father &/or mother, serving the Lord to the best of their ability, & setting a powerful example to their children along with the teaching of His Word & the training in His service! This is the kind of heritage I received from my parents, thank God!--And which I can now share & pass on to you, my children in the Lord, PTL!--So that you can proclaim, along with David the Psalmist & myself: "Thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear Thy Name." (Ps.61:5.) Hallelujah! "The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage!" (Ps.16:6.) PTL!

       5. "ONLY THE LORD HAD A DELIGHT IN THY FATHERS TO LOVE THEM, & HE CHOSE THEIR SEED AFTER THEM. Even you above all people, as it is this day!" (Deut.10:15.)--So, "Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, & he will shew thee; thy elders & they will tell thee!" (Deut.32:7.)

       6. WE TODAY, THE LAST PEOPLE OF GOD, HIS WITNESSES TO THIS LAST GENERATION. ARE THE FULFILMENT OF OUR FOREFATHER'S DREAMS & THE ANSWER TO THEIR PRAYERS! "For these all died in faith, not having received the promises which are being fulfilled in us!"--"Blessed are your eyes, for they behold that which the prophets have dreamed of! For it was not given unto them, but unto you it is given & this is your day, that I have given unto thee that you may glorify Me, that I may glorify thee, for ye are indeed My children, & I have called thee for this purpose. Thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this!" Hallelujah! TYJ!

       7. "AND THOUGH THY BEGINNING WAS SMALL, YET THY LATTER END SHOULD GREATLY INCREASE! For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, & prepare thyself to the search of their fathers: Shall not they teach thee, & tell thee, & utter words out of their heart?" (Job 8:7,8,10.) "For all these things happened unto them for ensamples: & they are written for our admonition, upon whom the Ends of the World are come!" (1Co.10:11.)
