What is prophecy? Why is it recorded In the Bible? How can we understand it? Everyone is interested in the future. We want to know if it is going to rain, so we can take our umbrellas when we go out. Investors want to know what is going to happen on the stock market. Sports fans want to know whether ...

Today, we hear a lot of bad news of the world today. But now I want to tell you precisely how and when the world lost the good news that Jesus Christ brought to mankind about the happy, peaceful, prosperous world tomorrow because that's what he proclaimed. He proclaimed the message of the gospel, ...

We did want to get something to you this week concerning events of the last few days, but we're already late with the Pastor's Report, so we don't have much time for a long report. On Monday, May 8th, Mr. Armstrong asked all the Area Coordinators from the U.S. and Canada to come to his home in ...

Question 1: The scriptures seem to indicate that the apostles observed 'the first day of the week' (namely the eve of Sunday) as the 'Lord's Day,' the regular day of worship. I don't have the historical background to know for sure if the above was a fact or not. Question 2: Isaiah 58:13- ...

Very few people give any thought whatsoever as to the purpose of life, or whether they were put on this earth for any purpose whatsoever, what that purpose might be, whether they're fulfilling it. What is our destiny? Do you ever stop to think about that my friends? You know the older you become, ...

Now this is the seventh of a series on the Seven Rules of Success. Do you know that everyone could be, should be, happy? You can't be very happy if your life is a failure. Why are most people unhappy? Why are most people failures? Most people do not apply a single one of these seven rules that are ...

SPENT my childhood in a basically religious community in Canada. Several large churches were within walking distance of my home. Most schools were directed by religious congregations. Even the political mores of the area were shaped by religious teaching and doctrine. Religion was certainly pervasiv ...

Work Grows - Despite Hardships and Persecution: Now we come to the year 1937. I've explained how, in about mid-November, 1936, we started on KXL, smallest-powered 100-watt station, in Portland. With it, using Postal Telegraph wires for a hook-up, we included station KSLM, in Salem. This was our fi ...

Perhaps the most enigmatic parts of Revelation are the book's last two chapters. These describe "the new heavens and new earth," "the new Jerusalem" and "the tree of life." When do the "new heavens and new earth" appear? In Revelation, they appear in time order after the Millennium and Great ...

Here is the startling significance of the Book of Deuteronomy for us today. AMERICA has strayed so far away from her God that she does not realize what blessings could be hers if she served Him, and what doom is soon to strike because she rejects Him, while professing to worship Him! The nation toda ...

But now, looking into the condition today and why is it, my friends, that we find that we're brought up in this world today believing that we have the Christian teaching, believing in Christianity. And that Christianity is the religion of our Western world. And yet, when we have the courage to blo ...

The Bible has more to say about light - and the absence of it - than you may have thought! About 6,000 years ago, the earth was a desolate planet, cloaked in a shroud of thick, murky darkness. The waters completely covering its surface rolled and tossed in the endless night, whipped by unobstructed ...

Next Monday, June 14th, is a very sacred annual SABBATH-day! It is the annual day of PENTECOST, or Festival of First Fruits. On that day we are commanded to cease our work, just as on the weekly Sabbath, and to assemble in holy convocation. Notice Acts 1:1: "And when the day of Pentecost was fully c ...

History proves that Gentiles, shortly after the flood, knew the Sabbath began at man's creation. Then why did God have to reveal which day was the seventh day? Had time been lost? GOD CALLED Israel out of Egyptian slavery to perform the most important mission any nation has been given in all the h ...

Question 1: What Are the Souls Which John Saw Under the Altar? Question 2: Please Explain Matthew 10:28. Question 3: Is All Sea Life Good for Food? [Answer Question 1:] In Revelation 6:9-11 is a description of the fifth seal. When Jesus Christ, who is the Revelator (John is not the revelator) opened ...
