told nothing specific about the non-Israelite races as a total group, how
               then can anyone presume anything?


               3.  One thing  we are told is  that the good seed can “hear”  YEHOVAH's
               Word – notice! Matthew 13:37-43.


               COMMENT:  We do hear stories of  missionary activity,  where there are
               great deliverances among non-Israel races after telling them about the mir-
               acles the Messiah did. On appeal to emotions alone, we are told about per-
               sons being healed and delivered from oppression, but who have no change
               in conscience, and who have no shame for their past misdeeds. It seems
               that something is not written on their hearts. They seem to continue on as
               long as the missionary or the helper is with them; but if they are no longer
               assisted, then they either revert to paganism or go into a Catholic type of
               belief, which is compromised with paganism or superstition.


               The missionary  activity  of the churches is  based  upon their need to “wit-
               ness” their religion. But there is NO SUCH requirement in the Bible!

               4. What does  YEHOVAH  God require His  people  Israel to do?  Matthew

               10:6; Matthew 28:19; Luke 24:47.

               COMMENT: The term “nations” in Matthew 28:19 and Luke 24:47 refers to
               the nations of Israel in the Diaspora – NOT the non-Israelite nations of the
               world!


               YEHOVAH God said that Israel will ALWAYS be a nation before Him. The
               people of the nation are not required to do anything to “witness” to the non-
               Israelite nations of the world what YEHOVAH God said to them -- the very
               fact that they continue to live and die is witness enough. The revelation of
               Israel at the end of this age will be witness to the veracity of YEHOVAH’s
               word. To spend time, money, and effort in missionary activity to other
               races is an  exercise in stupidity  from the Biblical point  of  view, and
               one for which no reward will be tendered.


               We know there are some people whom the Bible says will NEVER be res-


               urrected:

               5. Does Jeremiah comment on this? Jeremiah 51:57.


               COMMENT: This reference covers all who are under the heading of Baby-
               lon which, in connection with Revelation, we see are all who are opposed
               to Israel.
