Well, greetings friends! This is Herbert W. Armstrong with the Good News of the World Tomorrow. Yes. There is good news ahead and yet there is bad news ahead and that's the paradox. There's no good news today. There isn't going to be any good news in the immediate future. And yet, just turn on ...

The plain truth is a little shocking - and illuminating! Nothing is so astonishing as the truth! It is often stranger than fiction. Most people who attend church regularly, or even occasionally, would be really surprised if they should probe into their own minds far enough to ask WHY they go, and ju ...

Can you believe it? — another year has flashed by; another year of world troubles, overthrow of more governments, increasing violence and crime — whisking us rapidly into and through the END time of this present evil world. We now have little time left to finish God's Work. In my last letter (Nove ...

"In the beginning... God said, Let us make man in our image…in the image of God created he him, male and female created he them…heirs together of the grace of life…that as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God." God never intended there be any "battle o ...

YESTERDAY, as I write, Mrs. Armstrong and I celebrated our forty-ninth wedding anniversary. There's nothing special about a forty-ninth anniversary, as such-except, as Mr. Gerald Waterhouse, PLAIN TRUTH regional Editor for The Philippines, might point out, it is seven periods of seven years each, ...

Could God trust you to rule a galaxy? Here is a fascinating glimpse of the future! What and where will you be one billion centuries from now?

The Feast of the Nativity of St. John is set down in the Papal calendar for the 24th of June, or Midsummer-day. The very same period was equally memorable in the Babylonian calendar as that of one of its most celebrated festivals. It was at Midsummer, or the summer solstice, that the month called in ...

For the first 2000 years of human history, Africa — and Egypt in particular — was the vortex of world politics. Today Africa is militarily a void. Its native population borders on savagery in many areas. Its culture is universally primitive. Egypt and Ethiopia — once the world's leaders — are toda ...

Many in God's Church are being lured back into the world! Countless others find its pull so strong that their spiritual growth is being stunted. You need to know - and avoid! - this deadly trap which Satan is using to ensnare the very sons of God! THE salvation of many in God's Church is hanging ...

"What would happen if everyone believed like you and would not fight?" Have you ever heard this question? To many people today it is almost incredible that some Christians will not fight in war. In the last chapter, we saw writings of the leading churchmen in the first few centuries. They ...

Radioactive waste - the "thousand-year problem" - threatens the world of tomorrow. Some thirty blocks from Utah's State Capitol building and downtown Salt Lake City is a 3.4-billion pound pile of rather ordinary - looking sand. Nobody thought it was dangerous. And contractors reported th ...

There is as much confusion surrounding the message Jesus brought as there is about the personality of the man Himself - which is to say that there is an enormous lack of true understanding. Even the word gospel is usually misinterpreted or misunderstood - connoting to most minds something smacking o ...

Are you like many people who say. "I believe in God, but He seems so distant so unreal to me"? Have you wondered: "Where is God? Has He gone off somewhere? Why doesn't He show Himself in some way? How can an invisible God be real to me?" But think about it for a moment. Almost ...

INTERNATIONAL DESK - The shower head fell into the bathtub again this morning. It always does when I try to adjust it. Not that it really matters-the hotel doesn't have any running water today anyway. Or electricity. The cleaner (if that is what you call the man who comes in twice a day to rearran ...
