Bullocks and the Feast of Tabernacles
(Copyright) by BibleStudy.org (Farmington, Michigan) In Numbers 29:12-39 we find that for the seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles there is a daily sacrifice of bulls (the KJV calls them bullocks). Thirteen bullocks are offered on the first day (which is a high sabbath), twelve bullocks on the second day and so on, decreasing daily in number until seven bullocks on the seventh day for a total of seventy. On the eighth day, called the Last Great Day (a high sabbath), only one bullock is offered. God’s plan for mankind is symbolized by the Holy Days. The Feast of Tabernacles […]
Elmer Fisher – one of the first members of the Radio/Worldwide Church of God
(Copyright) by Craig White (Australia) I have now included some information on Elmer and Margret Fisher who HWA mentions a number of times in his Autobiography: https://www.friendsofsabbath.org/iframe/ABC/Pioneers&Researchers/Fishers/Fishers.html This link also mentions a Bobby Fisher referred to in a Good News magazine – she came to a HWA campaign in 1934 and to a GTA campaign 13-14 Dec 1974 (Good News, March 1975, p. 24): “That evening Mr. Armstrong spoke to another capacity crowd. Among those sitting in the audience was a veteran of many early campaigns, Mrs. Bobby Fisher. Forty years earlier, in December 1934, Mrs. Fisher, then a teenager, sat in a […]
A Person of Faith Explains “Dark Matter”
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Along with being a devout follower of Jesus Christ and committed to proclaiming and teaching His word, I have a deep interest in science, particularly astronomy. I have, therefore, read with interest recent articles about the discoveries of the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes. One area that has caught my attention is what astronomers are calling “Dark Matter.” Simply speaking, Dark Matter is an unseen force that is holding the universe together. It cannot be seen, and astronomers don’t know what it is, but they say it is keeping the universe from flying apart. For […]
Memories of a one-room country school (REAL education)
(Copyright 2022) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “A powerful, radical left-wing clerisy is bent on destroying what every past generation would have understood to be the central purpose of education – that is, allowing (in the words of Edmund Burke) individuals to ‘avail themselves of the general bank and capital of nations, and of ages.’” – Lady Margaret Thatcher IN his first inaugural address, James Monroe said, “Had the people of the United States been educated in different principles, had they been less intelligent, less independent, or less virtuous, can it be believed that we should have maintained the same steady […]
Who is the Angel of Exodus 23:20?
(Copyright 2023) by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota) ANGEL, NO PARDON, NAME IN HIMEXODUS 23:20-23 Behold, I send an Angel (1) before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions (2): for my name is in him (3). 22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. 23 For mine Angel shall […]
are the shepherds safeguarding the lives of the sheep?
(Copyright) by Catherine C. Kroeger (Brewster, Massachusetts) Only yesterday I was told of a Christian woman who escaped a viciously cruel marriage and went to consult her pastor. The man of God, wishing to restore domestic peace and harmony, sent the fearful congregant back to her home along with his well-meant prayers and good advice. Two days later the woman was dead, slain by the hand of her husband. Only weeks before a similar tragedy had been played out in a neighboring parish. Although the pastor had intended to reestablish the marital union, his guidance had led to its permanent […]
Circumcision of the Heart
(Copyright 2022) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) Many old covenant rituals have a fulfilment in the new covenant. Circumcision was a very important ritual under the old covenant. Surely, such an important ritual must have a significant spiritual meaning in the new covenant – and it does. “God wants us to be circumcised in heart so that we can love Him with all our heart.” Its meaning is described for us in Philippians 3:3, 4: “We are the true circumcision who worship in the Spirit of God, glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh”. These three expressions are […]

The Profound Prophetic Meaning of One Third!
(Copyright) by BibleStudy.org (Farmington, Michigan) What is the possible prophetic meaning of one third (1/3 or 33%)? How does the greatest concentration of this number in the Bible reveal its startling and profound symbolism? A unique repetition of the number one third is found in Revelation 8. In this prophetic chapter, within only six verses (7 to 12), the word “third” (part of a whole or 1/3) is recorded eleven times in the King James translation. The last verse in this set contains this rational fractional designation five times! It is utilized two additional times in chapter 9 with its final […]
The Millennial Reign of the Messiah
(Copyright) by Craig White (Australia) We often speak about the Millennial rule of the Messiah in the Churches of God, but how much understanding has been lost? How much detail does the Bible reveal? Or is it very general with only a few Scriptures on the subject? Let us explore the Bible deeply on this precious truth. For we will be an essential part of the Wonderful World Tomorrow and should familiarise ourselves with that system now!

Leaders who see the Glory of Jesus
(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 […]
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
(Copyright) by Craig White (Australia) What will the future Beast system be like? Does history hold any clues? 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 […]
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 […]
Who are the Peoples of Rosh?
(Copyright) by Craig White (Australia) The purpose of this article is not to re-hash the histories of the peoples of the Middle East or the Slavic nations of eastern Europe which would mean that a book of 400 pages would be required. Instead, I ask the reader to familiarise themselves with an outline of those histories and to follow me in a discussion of the Biblical origins of some of the peoples of western Russia. Books such as The Origins of the Slavic Nations by Serhii Plokhy, The World of the Neo-Hittite Kingdoms by Trevor Bryce and The Balts by […]
Do Movies Warn Us of Coming Disasters?

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. The three supreme deities being the god of Natural Selection, the god of Time, and the god of Spontaneous Generation. 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 […]
The Deception of “Heartburn”
(Copyright) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) What Your Doctor or Pharmacy Probably Won’t Tell You Have you noticed the number of antacids, acid blockers, and aids for indigestion on your local over the counter medicine shelf? They range from Tums to Rolaids, from Pepcid-AC to Tagamet, from Mylanta to Pepto-Bismol. Americans are having a devil of a time with indigestion it appears. And why? Mostly because people eat “dead” foods. What do I mean by “dead foods”? Let’s take the example of an apple. Place it on your kitchen counter and in a few days, it will begin to digest itself […]
The Crown of Life
(Copyright) by Martin G. Collins (Charlotte, North Carolina) Some call the Tower of London “the Cradle of the English Race.” It is well named, for it was there that England had her beginnings as a nation. It is the oldest palace, fortress, and prison in Europe, dating back 900 years. Housed within its walls in the underground Jewel House beneath the Waterloo Barracks are the Crown Jewels of England. The incomparable collection of crowns, scepters, orbs, swords, and other regalia is displayed in a specially designed vault and display case surrounded by heavy security. As one walks into the vault, […]

The fine art of modesty: Lost forever, Miley?
(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “Warning: Portions of the following program may destroy what little faith you have left in human nature.” – National Review cartoon (1/26/96) NO WONDER this country has to spend millions of dollars on a little blue pill; every checkout counter in the country is wall-papered with sex. We walk by it without even being affected one bit. And since when is that a good thing?

The Frightening Prospects of a Major Political Party Turning its Back on God
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Russian-born Nobel prize winning laureate, suffered for eight years in a Soviet labor camp because he refused to acquiesce to the tyranny of the Marxist Soviet regime. In explaining how this could have happened in his beloved Christian homeland, he wrote, If I was asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to report, “Men have forgotten God; that is why all this has happened.” The DNC’s Official Rejection […]
A Snapshot of Church History and Mosaic Law
(Copyright) by Avram Yehoshua (Flagstaff, Arizona) Passover (Lev. 23:4-8f.; Mt. 26:26f.) and the 7th day Sabbath (Gen. 2:1-3; Ex. 20:8-11; Lk. 4:16) aren’t observed by most Christians today, but in the days of the Apostles they were (Acts 15:21; 21:20-24; 1st Cor. 5:6-8), which reveals that they kept Mosaic Law. The Church teaches that the Law was nullified at the death of Jesus, but Church History records that for the first 90 years after the resurrection, all Christians kept Passover and the 7th day Sabbath, and walked out their faith in Christ through all the rules of Moses that applied […]
The Israel of God
(Copyright) by Charles Whitaker (Charlotte, North Carolina) In Galatians 6:16, the apostle Paul refers to the church as “the Israel of God.” Why? Why not “the Judah of God,” “the Ephraim of God,” or “the Galilee of God?” Why did God not inspire Paul to call the church by Israel’s original name, Jacob—”the Jacob of God?” We can learn much from the names God gives people, places, or things because those names reflect the way He perceives them. What can we learn about God’s church by studying the name Paul used for it in Galatians 6? It was God Himself who first uttered the […]
The Tragic State of Local News
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) How did Americans arrive at a point in time in which society is experiencing information overload, yet so many people are not only ill-informed but misinformed? In cities across the country local news is presented, on average, three to four hours a day when combining morning and evening coverage. What redeeming value is there when it comes to reaching the American people with news content that is on an elementary level? Networks choose what they want people to hear and see, not what people need to see and understand. A Profession Not Worthy of its TitleLocal […]
Being Faithful in the Time of Temptation
(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) God has allowed Satan and our lusts to be so strong, so that we don’t ever imagine that we can conquer them with our own strength. We are compelled to seek for God’s power. The Israeli spies saw themselves as grasshoppers when they saw the size of the inhabitants of Canaan (Num.13:32,33). Yet Joshua and Caleb trusted in God’s power and entered the land and slew those giants. We need that spirit to conquer ALL our lusts. So, keep saying, in faith, “I can, and I WILL conquer Satan and all my lusts, through […]
The Price of Atonement
(Copyright) by Richard T. Ritenbaugh (Charlotte, North Carolina) “Nothing that man can present to God by way of sacrifice can ever purchase the blessing of forgiveness.”—Charles H. Spurgeon Like Luke in Acts 27:9, we tend to think of the Day of Atonement as “the Fast.” Afflicting our souls by not eating and drinking for the entire 24-hour period looms large in our thoughts as the day approaches—and certainly as we are experiencing the hunger pangs as hour number 23 crawls along! Even so, the holy day is called “the Day of Atonement” (or “Day of Atonements,” as the Hebrew word is plural) in Leviticus […]
Nuclear Sword of Damocles
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) A nuclear attack against the U.S. is an imminent danger similar to the “sword of Damocles” of Greek mythology. Nuclear devastation will be the ultimate Greek tragedy. We cannot be lulled into a false sense of security against the unthinkable. We must not fall asleep at such a perilous time in history. “Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom he may devour” (I Peter 5:8). The following short video details the reality of a nuclear conflict. The threat posed by hypersonic missiles is here to stay and […]
America’s Founding Prayer was Offered in the Name of Jesus
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) The First Continental Congress opened with Bible reading and prayer on September 5, 1774, at Carpenter’s Hall in Philadelphia, PA. Fifty-six Delegates were present from all 13 colonies except Georgia. Among those present were George Washington and Patrick Henry from Virginia and Samuel Adams and John Adams from Massachusetts. They met to discuss how to deal with Britain’s oppressive actions toward the colonies. Beginning with the Stamp Act of 1765, relations between the colonists and Great Britain had steadily deteriorated as King George continued to pile on tyrannical taxes and regulations about which they had […]
A Big Lie of One Scripture
(Copyright) by Darwin Lee (Bismarck, North Dakota) One prevalent lie of a particular scripture held by almost all of humanity, (except the few) throughout most all nations, if not all, is the lie about Gen. 3:16. All readers reading this article know well what the lie is. Except most do not recognize that it is a giant of a lie. That lie has been woven into the fabric of most of humanity for six thousand years now, that men-husbands are to rule over his wife. In general, men believe they are to rule over the inferior to them, women. A huge swath […]
The Sign of Jonah
(Copyright) by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) Christ and the Tomb – Jonah and the great fish. Christians, Non-believers, and atheists ask the question: How can Jonah live in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights? 1 Peter 3:15 “In your heart set apart Christ as Lord. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the – hope – that you have.” That would include – questions – the hope that you have. The answer begins with: The bible does Not say Jonah Lived in the belly […]

666 Number of the Beast
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) ”And he [the second beast] causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Revelation 13:16-17). What did the apostle John mean, “the number of his name”? In verse 18, John said to count or calculate or add up this number of the name which would come to 666. So, the “number” of the name of the […]
The Financial Policy of Jesus and The Apostles
(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) Jesus has given us an example in money-matters that all who serve Him, and all churches must follow. When Jesus worked as a carpenter, up to the age of 30, He earned His living – honestly, without ever cheating anyone and without ever getting into debt. “Every servant of the Lord must ensure that he manifests the attitude of Christ in relation to money.” Thereafter, He was in full-time ministry for the next 3½ years. During this period, He had some strict principles in financial matters. His apostles followed those principles exactly and rigidly. The church is […]
Are You Afraid of Failure?
(Copyright) by Brenda Branson (Hanson, Kentucky) How does it feel to fail? You know all too well, don’t you—the sickening feeling in the pit of your stomach when you didn’t live up to your own or someone else’s expectations. You feel foolish and incompetent, discouraged and defeated. Cruel laughter and smug remarks from people who have no confidence in you ring in your ears and drown out the encouragement of well-meaning friends. You can see it in their eyes—an expression of sympathy and disappointment—if they dare to even look at you. You wish a hole in the floor would swallow you up […]
Establishing The Throne of David
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) This video was just released today, October 10th, 2022. Perfect timing for the Feast of Tabernacles. Jacob Prasch does a deep dive into the tribes which primarily helped to establish David’s throne over all of Israel. He shows how this was a shadow of the establishment of Christ’s throne at His future return. Jesus primarily lived in the Galilee area. Why? This was the area occupied by the tribes of Zebulun, Issachar, and Naphtali. Jacob explains that eleven of Christ’s original apostles were from these tribes. Once again, understanding the reasons for it will give […]
The Feast of the Open Book
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) The Feast of Tabernacles is a joyous time of year. It is a time of bounty and celebration for the blessings of God. After the harvest, families would travel together to Jerusalem to celebrate and thank God similar to what we do today at Thanksgiving. Because the seven-day celebration was connected to a harvest, it was also known as the Feast of Ingathering (See Exodus 23:16; 34:22). There is another name for the Feast of Tabernacles that has developed over the centuries. Near the end of Moses life, he gave a final instruction. Notice: “So Moses wrote […]
The Return of Christ
(Copyright) by Ray Daly (Lincoln, North Dakota) Note what follows, and ask yourself what will happen, when the following event takes place. In Rev. 6:16, all nations on the earth will see the sign of the Messiah in heaven. The sign being the “Lamb”. Then ask yourself how said nations will view said vision. First consider that some 1.2 billion or so Christians believe in the return of Christ, the “Lamb”. How will they react when they see said “Lamb”? Will they prepare to war against him, or will they prepare for his coming in peace? But secondly, did you know that another […]
Coming to an End of Ourselves
(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) It is only when we have come to a thorough end of ourselves, that we are ready to come to the Lord. Jesus invited people saying, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and heavy-laden” (Matt.11:28). Jesus does not invite everyone to come to Him. Here we see Him inviting only those who are sick and tired of their sin-defeated lives. The prodigal son came back to his father only when he had “spent everything” and “no man gave him anything”. Then only did he “come to his senses” (Luke 15:14-18). We can […]
Make Jesus Lord of All
(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) Paul says in 2 Corinthians 2:14, “Thanks be to God Who leads us always in His triumph”. The Living Bible paraphrases that as, “Thanks be to God! For through what Christ has done, He has triumphed over us”. So, God must triumph over us in every area of our lives, for us to live in triumph. One day every knee will bow and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord (Phil.2:10, 11). But right now, the knee of every desire within your flesh must bow and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord. Those lusts that rule you must […]
The Mainstream Media Needs to be Put Out of its Misery
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) The American people have access to an exorbitant amount of information, yet most are unaware of what’s taking place in the country and the world. The majority of Americans are either mentally malnourished when it comes to being well informed or mentally overweight as a result of filling their minds with unfiltered junk. People willfully choose what they believe is worth knowing. Most Americans are making the wrong choices. What takes place on reality shows, in sports, music, movies, weekly sitcoms and the latest gossip about the lives of celebrities is the focus of far […]
Prophetic Proclamation of Doom

News as reported by those now in power in their own words..the new King Charles III (what he said on Nov.1, 2021 as Prince Charles), the pope (a new worldwide religion now in effect called chrislam and an Austrian power man who may bring it all together politically. To me, this appears to tie a lot of prophecy into what is right now happening on earth […]
The Little Horn of Daniel
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) The Little Horn is only mentioned in the Book of Daniel beginning with the 7th chapter: “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the […]
Biden’s ‘Battle for the Soul of the Nation’ Speech
by Richard T. Ritenbaugh (Charlotte, North Carolina) On the evening of September 1, 2022, the President of the United States, Joseph Biden, delivered a primetime address to the nation from Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Typically, a speech from that storied location would elicit thoughts of the bravery and foresight of America’s Founders, hearkening back to the beginnings of the Republic and the spirit of freedom and self-governance that inspired the thirteen colonies to unite and defy Great Britain. Not so this night. While Biden tried to evoke these images through words, what the audience and viewers around the country saw conjured […]

Proof of The Church
(Copyright) by Warren Zehrung (Little Rock, Arkansas) Jesus Christ said, “I will build My Church.” (Matthew 16:18) He started His Church with the disciples and those who received His Spirit on Pentecost Day. Jesus did not construct a cathedral, basilica, mosque, or any other kind of physical structure – but he began bringing together His saints – the Church. The most High God does not dwell in man-made temples (Acts 7:48). Christians are the temple of God. He lives in them, walks in them; He is their God and they are His people (2Corinthians 6:16). The Church of God is: One […]
Salvation of Angels
(Copyright) by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) We are blinded. You are blinded. We look at the Bible and read what it says, and we think we see – but we don’t. An unimaginable trove of truth is hidden in plain sight on every page of your Bible, and you just can’t see it – no one can. Case in point; you probably believe that devils and angels are completely different, and that there is no gray area between them – those angels are perfect and sinless, and all devils are completely opposed to God’s way, beyond all hope of redemption. The thing is, that’s […]
Nuclear Threat of WW3
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) I came across these two videos which provide eye-opening information about America’s nuclear deterrent capability and the history of developing nuclear bombs. The first video is only 11 minutes long yet filled with good info on America’s nuclear attack capability for deterring any enemy attacks. The ability to retaliate against an enemy has been the main avenue for preventing a nuclear exchange between the superpowers of the world. However, with rogue nations, such as, Iran, obtaining nuclear weapons that equation may not work against those who welcome death as part of their religious ideology and the glory […]
Box of Old WCG Literature Arrived Today!
(Copyright) by Craig White (Australia) In December last year I was advised of a large trailer of old WCG literature and after request after request to salvage it all, it came very close to being dumped. After some toing and froing, a couple of members finally went through all of it and they both took some of it including those items I did not need. I was sent the sort of items I need for preservation and archiving – old papers, theses, handouts, policy documents etc. For instance, McDowell’s thesis on funeral customs is among the goodies as well as the […]
