Did you know that Christmas was observed 2000 years before the birth of Jesus Christ? - that neither the apostles nor the inspired New Testament Church observed it? Here are the astounding FACTS! Was Christ really born on December 25th? Did Paul and the other apostles - and the early New Testament C ...

WE come now to one of the most fascinating phases of this strange story of Israel - indeed, the very connecting link between prophecy and present-day fulfillment - yet unrecognized by theologians. After the House of Israel, the northern kingdom whose capital was Samaria, was driven into Assyrian cap ...

DIFFICULTIES IN PROPHECY: Some people may consider the study of prophecy as being a specialized type of study and too difficult for them. But the subject is both necessary and of absorbing interest when rightly pursued. The apostle Peter (II Pet. 1:19) exhorts the believer to give heed to the "light ...

Again GREETINGS, in Jesus' name! This is 1958! Time is growing shorter—FAST! We have comparatively little time left to complete the GREAT COMMISSION Christ has given HIS CHURCH to complete just before the END of this world! The HEAD of His Church and of GOD'S GREAT WORK, Jesus Christ, is moving ...

Is the Bible a record of science or a relic of ancient mythology? Is the Bible relevant to the Space Age or obsolete folklore? Here is PROOF the Bible is the most astounding scientific chronicle of history! For CENTURIES, skeptics and scoffers have called the Bible a collection of ancient primitive ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - WHAT A WORLD WE live in! There are two ways of looking at it. They are totally opposite views. Each presents a true picture. Most people think this is a WONDERFUL world - a progressive world far advanced. They look at the THINGS the world has produced in the past ...

The next great enemy introduced to our notice is the Beast from the Sea (Rev 13:1): "I stood," says John, "upon the sand of the sea-shore, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea." The seven heads and ten horns on this beast, as on the great dragon, show that this power is essenti ...

Some day historians will look upon the 20th century as part of the dark ages. Oh, we think we are enlightened! Has not the 20th century seen great strides in medicine, transportation, communication? Undoubtedly. But mere knowledge and technology is not enlightenment. Our age has probably less unders ...

Why does God classify some actions as wrong and others as right? Why is it wrong to commit sin? Did God just arbitrarily decide that some actions would be classed as sin? Did He say to Himself: "We've got to have some things that are wrong, so I'll just choose some nice, tantalizing, excit ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - Last night I heard the Diva Montserrat Caballe at the Ambassador Auditorium in Pasadena. The Auditorium was jam-packed - even six rows of seats - three on each side - on stage. The orchestra pit, which is a huge elevator, was lowered so that heads of those seated ...

"Food will be in the 1980s what oil became in the 1970s - scarce and expensive!" So warns a leading food commodities analyst. Suddenly, there are no great surpluses of grain stocks in the world. "We moved from surplus to scarcity with one fell swoop," said Willard Cochrane, Unive ...

A few months ago, a good friend of mine told me that he stayed awake one night wondering whether he was truly a servant of Jesus Christ - or simply a hireling. What an interesting thought! Has it ever crossed your mind? Have you ever wondered about your own status? Do you even know the diffe ...

Dear Fellow Ministers: Greetings again from Pasadena! This time I have to report we are back in "foggy bottoms" — the normal foggy, gloomy weather during the morning hours this time of year, with the sun breaking through about noon. But we are all fine here and in good health. ...

No other question is more fundamental. What is the Bible? Does it have a purpose? Can it be proved that the Bible is an inspired revelation from God for man of essential knowledge man could not otherwise discover by himself? How can you be sure - if there be an original inspired revelation, given di ...

WHEN Saul was informed that David cared deeply for Michal, Saul's younger daughter, a new scheme occurred to him. He instructed his servants to casually let David know that he was so well-liked by Saul and those about him that it was hoped by all that he would soon marry Michal. (I Samuel 18:17-22 ...
