The &quot;New&quot; Church of God Messenger

(Copyright 2022) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) The true church can be built only by those who, like Jesus, are willing to give up everything for it. “Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her” (Eph.5:25). Everyone who wants to build the church today must pay the same price – the total sacrifice of one’s self-life every day. There is no easier way to build the Body of Christ. We see this principle from the beginning of man’s history. “God was thereby showing that His house can be built only by people who have this spirit of total sacrifice. They alone will build […]

An Annual Confidence Trick?

(Copyright 2011) by John Jewell (London, England) It’s been threatening everyone for a number of weeks, in fact ever since the school summer holidays ended and the monthly bank statements arrived and now, instead of the cry “what are we going to do this summer?” it becomes “what am I going to get for Christmas” or “what can we get for your mother, uncle, aunt, etc Are we going to have a tree again this year? Then comes all the planning! Often encouraged by local councils putting up a large tree in the shopping area and intended to bring in as […]

The Sign of Jonah

(Copyright 2023) by Darwin Lee (Bismarck, North Dakota) What is the truth about the sign of Jonah being in the whale’s belly that Jesus referenced to? He said He was going to be in the heart of the earth in the same span of time as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights. Jon 1:17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Mt 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s […]

Seven Restorations of the Roman System

The author contends that there are repeated patterns for the revival of the Roman system over the centuries – the trajectory indicates that the coming US of Europe will be more fascist than Woke or neo-Marxist.

The Doctrinal Heritage of the Church of God in the Nineteenth Century

(Copyright) by Craig White (Australia) This writer has had a long-term interest in the history of the Church of God and Sabbatarian movement. Of particular interest has been the period around 1820-1880; the supposed ‘missing link’ in Sabbatarian history; how the doctrines of the Church were assembled; how they were sourced; and the mysterious ways God works to bring this about. When I was still investigating the Truth in the mid-1970s, I did notice some similarities between the Churches of God to other groups such as the Jehovah Witnesses, Seventh-day Adventists, Second Adventists, British-Israelites etc. Further investigation proved enlightening. As […]

How are God the Father and Yeshua One?

(Copyright 2008) by Bryan T. Huie (Dennard, Arkansas) To most Jews, including many Messianics, the nature of God is defined in the Shema: DEUTERONOMY 6:4 ” Hear [shema’], O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one [echad]! (NKJV) Messianics apply this understanding of the oneness of God to a confusing statement by Yeshua recorded in the tenth chapter of John’s Gospel. In response to the Jews’ request to confirm that he was the prophesied Messiah (John 10:24), Yeshua stated: JOHN 10:30 “I and the Father are one [hen].” (NASU) What did he mean by this declaration? Was Yeshua here applying the Shema […]

Must we agree about everything?

(Copyright) by Bill Hillebrenner (Matthews, North Carolina) Must Christians agree perfectly with church leadership before they can “walk” together or meet with other members? How has a misunderstanding of a verse in the book of Amos led to the separation of believers? Amos, one of the twelve Biblical Minor Prophets, wrote his book in 796 B.C. In it, he wrote an interesting statement that is sometimes misinterpreted by some church groups and fellowships. Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt . . […]

1987 – Time Delayed

(Copyright 2023) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) Daniel, a Jewish captive in ancient Babylon, had been given several prophetic visions concerning future empires that would dominate the world over many centuries till the “latter days.” Daniel wanted to know what would befall his own people in the latter days. He sought an answer from God. Daniel was highly loved by God. Normally, the answer to his request would have been immediate. However, this time, it was delayed. Time was delayed. What caused this delay? Notice: “Then said he [a heavenly messenger] unto me, ‘Fear not, Daniel. From the first day that you […]

The Duality of Prophecy

(Copyright) by Earl L. Henn (Charlotte, North Carolina) Many people find the subject of prophecy to be the most fascinating aspect of Bible study, and they eagerly pursue it. Some scour the newspapers, books, magazines, and television and radio news for the latest tidbit that fulfills their favorite prophecies. Unfortunately, few understand the vital keys to understanding the Bible’s prophecies, and thus many of them are wildly misunderstood. Among the keys to understanding prophecy is the fact that most prophecy is dual in nature. Throughout Scripture, we see duality in many things, often a physical reality that prefigures or corresponds to a spiritual […]

Napoleon

(Copyright) by Craig White (Australia) In the 1990s I wrote how Napoleon came across as a sort of anomaly when one compares him with the Holy Roman Empire’s emperors which I inserted into the book The Great German Nation (2007). But so were Mussolini and Hitler. Careful analysis found that he ‘ticked the boxes’ when it came to him qualifying as a successor to the Roman system. In this article I attempt to:– Demonstrate that Napoleon was a sort of Roman Emperor with some links to the Holy Roman Empire which inspired his legitimacy. In some ways he breaks the mold, but […]

The Born Again Teaching

(Copyright) by Craig White (Australia) The purpose of this paper is to take another look at the born again doctrine; not just from the angle Herbert W Armstrong presented the case, nor the mainstream Protestant approach allegorising the words of Christ. The concept is not merely an argument that the new birth occurs at the resurrection or upon conversion to Christianity. Rather, this paper takes a brief look at the history of the doctrine as espoused by Herbert W Armstrong which may be traced at least back to Sabbatarians and Russellites in the 19th century. Thus, I attempt to show […]

I hope to live to see that one. Maybe it will begin this November. From Wikipedia: Great Awakening refers to a number of periods of religious revival in American Christian history. Historians and theologians identify three, or sometimes four, waves of increased religious enthusiasm between the early 18th century and the late 20th century. Each of […]

Blessed to be a blessing

And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.

And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.” (Matthew 10:29) Not long ago, at the end of a day of inspections in eastern Georgia, I stopped to fuel my vehicle. As I stood pumping the gas, a sparrow landed about five feet away and began pecking on some crumbs, seemingly unafraid of me. I watched him for several minutes until he flew off out of sight. I could not help thinking of Jesus’ words in Matthew and Luke informing […]

Between the Evenings… The Legal Time to Slay the Passover

(Copyright 2014) by T. Alex Tennent (Seattle, Washington) Some of the confusion as to whether the Last Supper was the Passover or not comes from the English translations of the original Hebrew words meaning “between the evenings.” The Jewish sources are clear that this period—the time to slay the Passovers—was to be in the afternoon of the 14th day. However, many English translators and commentators, believing that Jesus ate the Passover at the Last Supper (and that he also died at the proper time for the Passover sacrifice), portray the period of “between the evenings” as either evening or […]

We are Our Own Worst Enemy

(Copyright) by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota) Many Americans see disaster after disaster happening. What’s the cause? Allow me to suggest it may be we ourselves. In Deuteronomy 28, God told the Israelites if they diligently obeyed his commands he would bless them, their land, crops, and animals, making their nation the highest in all the earth. Their enemies would flee from them. He warned them not to look how other nations worshipped their false gods (Deuteronomy 12:29-32). He also told them if they didn’t obey his commands, curses would overtake them in all the areas where they had been blessed. History shows […]

What About the “Bema Seat Judgment?”

(Copyright 2015) by Rich Traver (Clifton, Colorado) The Evangelical World often makes reference to a Term which the Church of God,for the most part, is not familiar with. What IS the BEMA Seat, how does it differfrom the White Throne Judgment and how does this particular “judgment”correlate with our understanding of a Christian’s Destiny? The Bema Seat and the Great White Throne Judgments are recognized in Protestant Evangelical / Fundamentalist views as distinct and separate ‘sentencing’ appearances. Though not a familiar term among the Church of God genre, it is a matter we should be aware of, at least for sake […]

Search the Scriptures

(Copyright) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) Most people read the Apostle Paul’s writings and are thrilled to understand his deeper views into Christ’s sacrifice, atonement, resurrection, and the meaning of all of this to us as those chosen by God to receive salvation. But most people don’t think about what is not in Paul’s writings. We might find this a little curious as to why he says nothing about Jesus’ preaching the Kingdom of God. This phrase (KOG) occurs 51 in the gospels, but only 8 times in all of Paul’s 14 letters. Paul never mentions that Jesus cast out demons, or […]

This same devil, the inspiration behind Halloween, took Jesus to a high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world. He told Jesus, ‘All these things […]

Atheism is a Religion – The Pantheon of Atheism

(Copyright) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) The intellectual atheist claims that he has done away with the need for God. In reality, he has created for himself a pantheon of his own gods.

When questioned how an amoeba could turn into an ape, or a molecule into a man, he invokes his first god. “Well, Mother Nature selects, and Natural Selection along with mutations will bring about this change,” he confidently replies. When questioned why we have never seen this transformation from one […]

Why the War in Iraq and Afghanistan Will Fail

(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Why The “War On Terror” Is A War Without EndConsider the following points and the present quagmire in Iraq. The present conflict is called the “War on Terror” and not a specific war on an enemy of a particular nation. It is the politically correct way to fight a war without offending world opinion. What is America’s objective? Terror is a tactic used by an enemy. America is fighting an idea. What foreign policy agenda clearly defines how America will eventually leave Iraq and Afghanistan? The Bush administration continually states troop cuts are planned, but a […]

Between the Evenings

(Copyright) by Richard Douglas Mauck and Sandra Faye Mauck (Internet) 1.a. “Between the evenings” is an uncomfortable concept for those not familiar with Biblical time keeping. But it is wording used eleven times in the Old Testament as confirmed by the Masoretic Text (MT), Jay P. Green Sr.’s Interlinear Bible (TIB) and Robert Young’s Literal Translation (YLT). It is not used in two popular translations: The King James (KJV) and the New International Version (NIV). Even though it is absent in the KJV translation and the word even or evening is substituted this does not negate the fact that the […]
