A Part of Something Larger!

(Copyright) by Warren Zehrung (Little Rock, Arkansas)  As we entered the new year of 2011 it had to be said that the state of the Church of God is not good. One of the more significant parts of the church, the United Church of God is dividing into two parts with the members being scattered and having to take sides, with no clear reason as to why it is happening. It is a strange phenomenon, but it was prophesied long ago by Jeremiah that the Church of God would continue to splinter into smaller and smaller pieces.  This is what […]

Seven Trumpets of Revelation

(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California)                                                          ​The Seven Trumpets described in the Book of Revelation will begin to sound in the final year before Christ’s return.  In chapter eight, the first four trumpets sound one right after the other.  Revelation 8:13 then declares:  “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who dwell upon the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the remaining three angels.” The last three trumpets are called […]

Why a Revived Christianity Will Be American Marxism’s Worst Nightmare

(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas)  In his blockbuster new book, American Marxism, Mark Levin warns that Marxist ideology has now permeated every facet of American society, including the educational systems, the media, corporations, Hollywood, and politics. He obviously touched on a deep, felt need for the book shot to #1 on Amazon before it was ever released. That America is deeply concerned was confirmed in a recent NPR poll in which people were asked if they thought that American democracy was “alive and well” or “under threat.” Sixty-seven percent of the respondents said they believed American democracy to be “under […]

The 13th grade: It’s killing us

(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan)  “Few in their after years have occasion to revise their college opinions.” – Thomas Jefferson AN ANALOGY THAT DESCRIBES TODAY’S YOUNG PEOPLE: “Scientists have discovered a tiny creature that lives in the lips of a North Atlantic lobster that it is unique in that its brain completely disappears at the onset of adolescence and doesn’t reappear until adulthood.” Eighteen-year-olds in college aren’t mature adults, and academia takes advantage of that fact. This is a book review of “How to Survive Your Freshman Year” by “Hundreds of College Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors Who Did.”* Just in time for […]

Unprofitable / Profitable Servant

by Arlan Weight (Bismarck, North Dakota)        Recently, I heard a sermon given, the title of which was, “What’s wrong with the Church?” The sermon was directed at the `Churches of God’.        In this sermon the speaker went on to describe the church of today as being like the Pharisees of Jesus’ day. But woe unto us if that be true! Notice what Jesus told his disciples in Matthew 5:20.20. “For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.”        That […]

Letters

Letters by Steven Blackledge & Ray Daly Letter from Steven Blackledge (June 25, 2022)Continued prayers for you as I read your commentary this morning… The troubles we endure in this physical life will help us to grow spiritually… Something that will benefit us for an eternity… Just a matter of enduring to the end God has planned for us while we continue to in His Son, and through Him… We added 6 more to the sea of felines we have at the ranch… Only this time these kittens were born inside a closet… So they are going to be easy […]

Needed for Justice

(Copyright) by David Antion (Pasadena, California)       In the justice system of ancient Israel, the court was open to all and each party presented his/her case before the court.  The only evidence considered by the court at that time was given by the witnesses.  There was no fingerprint identification.  No ability to check DNA or the many other advanced ways to gather evidence.     In criminal cases, not less than two witnesses were necessary especially when the accused person stood to lose his/her life.  See Deuteronomy 19:15; Numbers 35:30; Deuteronomy 17:2-6.     Jesus and the apostle Paul also recognized […]

Whose Faith Does The Healing?

(Copyright) by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas)  When someone is healed, whose faith is responsible? The person praying, or the person being prayed for? The healer, or the healed? Whose faith is important? And why does James say to seek the elders of the church and be anointed? There IS a simple answer! One that makes sense of ALL of the healings in scripture! Mark 5:25-34 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When […]

Why I Don’t Believe in the Trinity

(Copyright) by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota)   Where is the Trinity in these writings? (Where you would think it would be!)  Deut. 6:4 Hear (sense is obey) O Israel, Yehovah [YHwH] our Elohim (Mighty One) is one (H. 256 echad meaning one Yehovah, not family) Isaiah 45:5 I am Yehovah, and there is none else, there is no Elohim (God) beside me.  I girded you, though you have not known me.  (The word “I” is H.595 singular – i.e., not 3 persons in one) John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the […]

“I was born to run,” she said (so was I)

(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan)  NELLIE was her name, but she called me Bella. She was a little old lady from Pasadena who only drove me once a week to church. She bought me brand new for her 90th birthday. She put a gun rack in the back window for old times’ sake. She didn’t own a gun, just the gun rack. We got a lot of funny looks around town. I’m a pickup truck. Nellie had been a professional baseball player back in the fifties, one of the older members on the team, but she could still fly around […]

The Devils Delight!

by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina)  America is the Devils Delight; Satan has defeated and intellectually enslaved a “Superpower”. One, Church and State United with Satan and his faithful children. America’s great political leaders, Judges and lawmakers have established – Satanic Religious Laws. Laws that defend and praise what Almighty God ruled as evil. Law defending – LGBT – desecrates and mocks God’s Creation of: Male and female, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, and sons and daughters; and therefore is: “Blasphemy against the “Holy Spirit” and will “not be forgiven” Matthew 12:31. “Woe to those who call evil good […]

The Startling “Foreword” to the 2nd Edition

(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas)  I am honored and thrilled to write this Foreword for such a timely, church-shaking volume as this Second Edition of In the Spirit We’re Equal. What this book addresses is not just a “woman issue.” What this book addresses is a “church issue” and an issue of discipleship and world evangelism. This was made very clear to me about twelve years ago when the Lord visited me in an unusual manner and instructed me to “identify” with Sue and her two-fold vision to articulate the Biblical basis for the equality of women and men in Christ and […]

Preparing for the Kingdom

by William P. Goff (Myrtle Beach, South Carolina)  God’s Feast of Tabernacles pictures the Millennium – the 1,000-year reign of our Lord (And His Saints) at His return. It is a time of rejoicing for the entire family, because it’s a foretaste of the coming utopia that will transform the earth from all of its troubles, tragedies, downfalls and the like, and will usher in a time of peace and prosperity for everyone. It pictures a time when even the nature of animals will change for the better. And a time when children can run and play free of any chance of harm […]

Red Alert

(Copyright) Sent by Rich Traver (Clifton, Colorado)  We’re going to pay the price for what we’ve done. This apparently isn’t a hoax. Those come largely from the other side, whose intent is to conceal all this!   We likely will see a lot of Feast of Tabernacles cancellations except those very local. Public transportation won’t do it.   Gonna be an interesting election season if we hold out that long.   If true, this represents a siege on our country.  Pray it isn’t. RED ALERT: Entire U.S. supply of diesel engine oil may be wiped out in 8 weeks… no more oil until 2023 due to […]

God’s List

(Copyright) by Mark Schindler (Charlotte, North Carolina)   The 1993 Academy Awards ceremony was dominated by Steven Spielberg’s movie, Schindler’s List. The film is a brutally graphic look at the atrocities of the Nazi’s “Final Solution” for dealing with the Jews of Europe in World War II. It is also a testimonial to one man’s determination to rescue as many Jews as possible from the horrors of that Final Solution because he became absolutely compelled to do so. Oskar Schindler was a Catholic from the Sudetenland who saw the war as a means to make his fortune. An opportunist whose outlook on life […]

God’s Prophetic Word is Good for the Soul

(Copyright) by Steven Blackledge (Sonora, California)  When Embraced As HE Intended Himself To Be…Hope you all are having a pleasant, and edifying sabbath… Tomorrow is the day many of us recognize Pentecost, and the amazing transformation that can transpire when one trusts, and relies upon the Holy Spirit promised to those who trust in, and repent through the Son of the Living God… I hope that we all continue to appreciate the love our Beloved Father has for us, and recognize the need for HIS SPIRIT to guide us through the maze of lies, and deception this fallen world has […]

The Feast of the Nativity

(Copyright) by James McBride (United Kingdom)  An intensely spiritual observance? A secular holiday? A pagan festival? Here’s some light on the celebration of the birth of Jesus   Christmastime has etched itself into our calendar. For some it’s an intensely religious experience. To others a welcome mid-winter break. And an opportunity, for some, for a good knees-up! Overall, it has become an almost universal festival observed even by non-Christians.   Most 21st century Western Christians, however, realize that the trappings of Christmas are transferred from ancient pre-Christian worship. It’s common knowledge in our skeptical age. Whether it’s the tree, or “the holly and the ivy” or […]

Human Sacrifice and Yeshua

(Copyright) by Avram Yehoshua (Flagstaff, Arizona)  The question has been asked by some Jewish (and Gentile) people, ‘How can Yeshua be a sacrifice for sin when God comes against human sacrifice in the Law of Moses?’ This is usually supported by references to Scripture passages like these: “And you must not let any of your sons pass through the fire to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am Yahveh!” (Leviticus 18:21) “Then Yahveh spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Again, you shall say to the Sons of Israel: ‘Whoever of the Sons of Israel, or of the strangers who […]

Atonement Rituals

(Copyright) by B. L. Cocherell (Nevada) This study examines the Day of Atonement rituals using Leviticus, chapter 16, as a guide to show why God designed the Day of Atonement and why he required the high priest to enter the Most Holy Place once a year to perform the rituals of atonement. There is some dispute among Bible scholars as to the chronological order of the rituals during this day. Because of this dispute and the complexity of the rituals, this study does not attempt to place each ritual in chronological order; instead, each ritual is analyzed as an individual event. It […]

China in Prophecy

(Copyright) by BibleStudy.org (Farmington, Michigan)  What role does China, one of the world’s great superpowers, play in end time Bible prophecy? The word “China” or “Chinese” does not appear in the KJV Bible, which means it is not directly referenced in prophecy. This is likely because the nation lies a significant distance away from the Middle East where Biblical events are mainly centered. For example, from modern Israel, China lies more than 2,100 miles (3,379 kilometers) away. Modern Russia is more than 800 miles (1,287 kilometers) away as well. China, however, seems to be indirectly or obliquely referenced in prophecy through the generic term “kings of […]

About Prayer

(Copyright) by Wayne Schatzle (West Chester, Ohio)              Prayer to an unseen God is practiced in all the world’s religions. It is not an exact science and faiths have developed many ways to attempt to be heard by their god. I was brought up in a large Christian denomination that had many prayers published that a person could just read. In the early days prayers were said during worship in Latin. Even after nearly 50 years I can still remember some of those prayers I had said as an altar boy- but even to this day they are a bunch […]

Erasmus Darwin & The Evolution of Evolution

(Copyright) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee)  Evolutionary ideas are all around us. Every time you turn on the TV, watch the news, or read a science magazine you will more than likely find evolutionary content. How did this philosophy become so popular that it literally took over science? Most people picture Charles Darwin as an unbiased naturalist who discovered evolutionary ideas by studying the world around him. But that isn’t true. He had been influenced to doubt the Bible and accept long ages for the geologic record by some of the thinkers of his day. He’d even been influenced by evolutionary […]

God’s Rebuke to LGBT-America: Biden and his Leftist Snakes

(Copyright) by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina)  The fraudulent election of Biden was God’s rebuke to: LGBT America and the Idolatry of, Democracy. Arrogant Folly: Believing majority votes and opinions, Divorced from God’s Anchor of Truth is freedom. Majority opinions absent from: The fear of God, will lead to Devil Worship, praising the wicked and condemning those who believe God. Everyone knows Biden was elected with FRAUD votes. Cowardly Republicans: Muzzled by Democratic party Snakes and Devil Media, obediently ignore Election Thievery. Hearts are being Tested: Jesus Christ said, Matthew 28:18 “All power in heaven and earth is given to me.” […]

When George Whitefield Rejected a Personal Prophecy from John Wesley

(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma)   A personal prophecy should always confirm what we already know in our hearts. It is dangerous to build one’s life and make important decisions based solely on prophecies. This was dramatically illustrated in the lives of two of the greatest revivalists of all time. Wesley’s Strange Word to WhitefieldTwenty-six-year-old George Whitefield sat on a ship ready to sail for America from the port of Deal, located approximately 70 miles southeast of London. For some time, he had experienced a compelling call to preach the gospel to colonial America and now the day for his departure […]

America Has Been Put On Notice

(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio)  On December 11, 2021, multiple tornadoes struck five states causing catastrophic damage, killing, and injuring hundreds. The city of Mayfield, Kentucky was completely destroyed by not only the worst tornado in the state’s history, but the strongest recorded tornado in U.S. history. Because Americans have become accustomed to tornadoes as a natural phenomenon that happens year after year, what took place from Kentucky to Arkansas will soon be forgotten. Such will not be the case, however, for those who lost loved ones, as well as their homes and businesses. One Mayfield resident interviewed on Fox […]

Hope in Spite of Us: Psalm 22, 23, 2022 and 2023

(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan)  “Our fathers trusted in You. They trusted and You delivered them… Be not far from us, for trouble is near.” – Psalm 22 “I WILL FEAR NO EVIL.” – Psalm 23 The following is just a theory, but right now we could all use some faith, hope, and charity. My previous column was mostly doom and gloom but looking ahead there are two sides to the coin. Which one will prevail? It all depends. Could there possibly be a comparison between Psalm 22, 23, and 2022-2023? Or will it be a contrast if you know what […]

Passover

by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina)  Our Father in Heaven: Paid our Debt of Sin. Exodus 12: 1-16: Verse 13 – “The blood will be a sign for you on your houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will Pass Over You”. That was symbolic of Judgment Day: And the Blood of Christ Jesus. Our Passover: Crucifixion and Suffering of the Son of God. Mark 15:12 to 15:39 -Crucify him they shouted. Why what crime has he committed, Asked Pilate? But they shouted all the louder, crucify him! Pilate wanting to satisfy the crowd, had Jesus flogged […]

An Unpayable Debt and Obligation

(Copyright) by John W. Ritenbaugh (Lancaster, South Carolina)   Radio personality Charles Osgood related a news item out of Miami in which a young man working as a valet parking attendant at a hotel was routinely handed a tip for fetching a man’s car. Later, after the man drove off, the attendant looked at the tip and was startled to discover the man had given him a thousand dollars! The tip-giver was unaware of his mistake until well on his way back to his home in West Virginia. He immediately turned around and drove back to the hotel. He found that the […]

Becoming a Blessing to Others

(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India)  In Matthew 14:19, we see the three steps to becoming a blessing to others: (1) Jesus took ALL the loaves and fish;(2) He blessed them; and(3) He broke them. “It is only as you also allow the Holy Spirit to break the strength of your own will that you will become spiritual.” Then the multitude was fed. This is how the Lord wants to make you a blessing to others too. You have to give Him everything first, as the little lad there did. Then He will bless you with the power of the Holy Spirit. Then He will break you through many […]

What About Armageddon – Who Will Fight and When?

(Copyright) by Rhoda Foust (Lehigh Acres, Florida)  When the word Armageddon is spoken, people automatically think of war between nations. Most do not fully understand when, where, or how it will take place.  Many fear it could happen at any time, especially now that Israel is fighting for survival, and many assume that the middle east problems will lead to this event and that it will spread into other nations. We hear religious people talking about armies surrounding Jerusalem, and “sudden destruction coming upon the land”, and we think could this be “Armageddon”?  Because it conjures up fear many choose […]

A New Beginning, An Inauguration!

(Copyright) by John Jewell (London, England)  From January 23, 2009Naturally, the big news at the moment is the election of Mr. Barack Obama as president of the United States. The TV footage and radio interviews showed what a great deal of hope the American citizens, and also citizens in other nations, have in Mr. Obama. Indeed, many have shown a considerable faith in him, yet no one really knows a lot about him. As we said in a recent Letter from London he was born in Hawaii of an American mother from Kansas and a father who is a Kenyan […]

Lessons from a Prophetic Movement that Shipwrecked the Faith

(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma)  Winston Churchill once said, “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” This is true of the church, which seems to repeat the same mistakes generation after generation, especially in the area of the prophetic. Much of the turmoil surrounding the failed Trump prophecies could have been avoided if the modern charismatic church had learned, not only from Scripture, but also from history. There have been numerous prophetic movements in history whose experiences offer invaluable lessons for the church today. One of those movements is Mormonism, which emerged out of the Second […]

Cognitive disconnects: Outlandish “stuff” D-voters claim to believe

(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan)  “Only a nation on its knees can stand up to its enemies.” – author unknown NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO WILL NOT SEE, said a man in the early 1700s. Nothing new to see here, is there? I’ve been making a list of outlandish statements by unrepentant Biden voters, such as: “The border is not open. People still have to go through the process” [When you can wade across the Rio Grande, not row, and there is no border, it’s an open border; many just skip the “process.] “There is no connection between a bonus to […]

Something to Think About

(Copyright) by Ray Daly (Lincoln, North Dakota)  Just something to think about. First, ALL OF the prophecies presented by the Sabbath churches (and some Sunday churches) have failed. The question is why?  When they were sure they were right?  I have mentioned to you, I think, that they likely failed, because it was not The Almighty’s time.  Which his time is soon approaching and has been advancing.  Put all of the failed prophecies before you, and then consider what The Almighty has to say.  He says in one verse.  “Behold, I work a work in your days which you will […]

The Time is Short!

(Copyright) by Paul Janvier Mbock (Cameroon)                 NB:  Please read this document with the Bible in your hands!   The Bible announces the major events marking the fulfillment of God’s Plan on earth, including the future of mankind, and how the Divine Government will replace our human-led society.   So here is the Biblical Timeline of events that have happened recently, are happening right now before our eyes, or are expected to happen soon!     1)   In 2015  – Fulfillment of Joel 2:31: “The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of […]

Heirs of Salvation

(Copyright) by Ronny H. Graham (Charlotte, North Carolina)  In Hebrews 1:13-14, the apostle Paul, the probable author of Hebrews, continues his efforts to show the superiority of Christ over angels by quoting from Psalm 110, the psalm most quoted in the New Testament: But to which of the angels has He ever said:  “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool”? Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation? While Paul is explaining Christ’s superiority to angels, he also begins to describe their duties. Even though stating it as a question, he […]

Was God’s Law Nailed to the Cross?

(Copyright) by Earl L. Henn (Charlotte, North Carolina)  In their struggle to find a New Testament scripture that supports their misconception that God’s law is “done away,” many people point to Colossians 2:14 to “prove” that Christ nailed the law of God to the cross. In fact, this verse becomes a major linchpin in their fallacious argument that Christians are not required to keep God’s “harsh Old Testament law.” Proponents of such a teaching say that the “handwriting of requirements [ordinances, KJV]” refers to the law “that was against us.” They further claim that Christ “took it out of the way” or abolished the […]

Stop This Marriage Madness

(Copyright) by Norman S. Edwards (Perry, Michigan)  It is good that many people have studied the scriptures and found that they are primarily about an individual’s faith in and obedience to the Eternal. In their Bible study, many find no examples of priests, ministers, or the state “performing marriage ceremonies”. Indeed, history shows that such ceremonies have only been with us for about 600 years. Anciently, a marriage was handled as a contract between the couple or their parents. While a feast was usually associated with a marriage, the marriage itself was a written or verbal agreement, consummated by a […]

Seventy Weeks Prophecy

(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California)  Daniel nine contains what is known as the “Seventy Weeks Prophecy.”  By the time most Bible scholars and Eschatology students finish dissecting it, we, for some strange reason, end up with 490 years rather than 70 literal weeks. There are various explanations out there concerning the historical event that began the counting of the 490 years until Christ’s earthly ministry.  His ministry only lasted three and a half years which is not a full “prophetic” week.  Some believe that He still has to finish another three and half years of ministry perhaps after His return.  […]

Can You Prove What You Believe?

(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio)  Christianity today is in a state of complete confusion because the nation’s clergy and members of church after church are confused. What can only be described as one big giant mess is because deception has made huge inroads that has resulted in so much confusion. II Timothy 4:3- “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap on themselves teachers, having itching ears.” Churches across the country are not telling members what they need to hear, but what they want to hear. Christianity in America […]

Truth

by Arlan Weight (Bismarck, North Dakota)         Recently a person who once attended the Worldwide Church of God commented on how his son, who is in his early twenties, is blaming him for his lack of social skills. He claims that, because he was kept from participating in school activities on Friday nights, he was deprived of something that now limits his ability to relate to other people.       His story is, no doubt, the story of many thousands of others around the world dealing with similar accusations in their own families. What are we to think of it? Did parents in the […]

Flying Scroll or Digital Ledger?

(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California)  Zechariah chapter five mentions a Flying Scroll (See verses 1-4).  There is writing on both sides of it.  It is to be a curse which affects the entire land (verse 3).  It will primarily affect the thief and the liar.  This Flying Scroll has puzzled me for quite a while.  What event is the Bible trying to show us that will come about in the near future? Others have explained this Flying Scroll to be a missile.  However, it is not rolled up to form a cylinder shape but is spread open to show the writing that […]

Digital Currency Nightmare

(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California)  Another report on the coming Digital Currency that is prophesied in Zechariah 5 as a “Flying Scroll.” Pastor Steve Cioccolanti of Discover Ministries adds some critical insight as to why central banks want the kind of control as currently practiced in China. From what I can tell, the Flying Scroll or Digital Currency will come about prior to the beginning of the 1,260 days when the Two Witnesses will begin to prophesy, and the Woman (Jerusalem) flees into the wilderness.  How long or soon after the Digital Currency comes into play before the attack against […]

Our Heavenly Citizenship

(Copyright) by Austin Del Castillo (Charlotte, North Carolina)   “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 3:20) Many of us appreciate the concept of order. Disorder causes us to become anxious and even feel threatened. We want to either get out of such an environment or fix it. The ongoing unrest in this country, with all the protesting, looting, and burning that carried on for months in several of our major cities, gives us great cause for concern. Since their peak, things have improved somewhat, but a sense that the […]

Who was in Charge of the New Testament Temple? And Why Should You Care?

(Copyright) by Wily Elder (Ocala, Florida)  The answer to the last question first: The reason you should care is because it will reveal the day on which Pentecost should be celebrated. How is that possible? “Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, when you come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest. And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave […]
