The Real Jesus
newly reformatted editionIt’s time you met the real Jesus.
Few know that Jesus was not born on or anywhere
near December 25;
--that, as a boy, Jesus learned a profession;
that He became the senior member in a construction partnership; that He owned
at least one and probably two homes of His own; that He paid taxes.
--that Jesus slept indoors most of His life and
frequently spent the night in the homes of very wealthy people, including
Romans as well as religious opponents.
--that He was a personal friend of con artists,
soldiers, fishermen, cheats, liars, thieves, crooked politicians, religious
leaders and prostitutes.
--that Jesus did not come to save the world some two thousand years ago, that He has
not been trying to save it since, and
that He is not trying to save it
today.
--that Jesus did not die of a broken heart; that
He was not crucified on “Good Friday”; that He was not resurrected on “Easter
Sunday”; that neither Jesus nor His disciples ever celebrated (or taught anyone
to celebrate) Christmas or Easter.
--that Jesus had to prove to doubting disciples
by incontrovertible evidence that He had truly been resurrected.
--that Jesus Christ is alive today, is planning
to return to earth and has actually begun His “countdown” from heaven!
If your own values are those of the common
person, the real Jesus may insult you, shock you, please you, challenge you,
inspire you, surprise you, make you wonder. But He will never bore you.

Iron & Clay
The Bible describes something as miry clay,
mixed with iron. But iron and clay don't mix! The prophecies describe
ten-nations which will be unified together, but only for a short time. What
is the unifying agent which will bring that about? The current
France/German cooperation is without precedent! But, for numerous reasons, many
expert observers believe Europe will never become a completely cohesive entity.
Those reasons include language barriers, cultural identities, historical
disagreements and long-standing animosities. Nevertheless, there are as yet
unfulfilled CORROBORATING prophecies which predict a cohesive combine of
nations described as TEN KINGS which will play a critical role in a tumultuous
culmination of end time events.

What the Bible
Says About HOMOSEXUALITY
Only a few decades ago, etiquette precluded the subject of
homosexuality from polite conversation. Most parents chose to
protect their young children from exposure to such discussion. Today
it is unavoidable. The “gay” movement has succeeded in forcing the
issue into every aspect of the media, not the least of which has
been the news media. The dogma of political correctness has
cowered Middle America into ambivalence and silence.

The Long Tradition
of Prophetic Insight and Accuracy This
end-time Work of the Watchman has a well documented history and
tradition. It began with my Grandfather, some 70 years ago.
All involved or familiar with this Work know of his lifelong
contribution, and of the long and productive Work of his son, my
Dad, Garner Ted Armstrong.
Watching today's current news, in the
light of Bible Prophecy is very interesting indeed! Wars in
the Middle East. Europe's new currency, the Euro, gains
steadily and dramatically against the dollar! Leading members
of the European Union all themselves with the Vatican to bolster
their posture against the United States. Germany invokes
patriotism as justification for leading the pack
economically and in the creation of a European Military.
A military power Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong warned would become
stronger than that of the United States! During a long
career of writing, speaking and broadcasting, Mr. Garner Ted
Armstrong kept abreast of current events as they unfolded, pointed
them out and always showed their relevance as they applied to events
your bible says will presage the end of the age, and the second
coming of Jesus Christ. ---Mark Armstrong

Who Is The "Antichrist"?
For nearly two thousand years, theologians and laymen have
speculated about "the Antichrist." Dozens of political, military and
religious leaders have been dubbed "the Antichrist." Usually, he is
seen as the embodiment of all evil; a satanic, devious, plotting
conspirator who seeks the overthrow of God's church, and along with
it the overthrow of democracy and freedom, if not the destruction of
all mankind. Is there such a person? Is he alive NOW, and will he
become prominent in world affairs in the future? Just Who, or What,
is the infamous "Antichrist"?

When The Wall Comes
Tumbling Down...
There is a large bulge in
the wall of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Recently, it was
announced that a group of Jordanian engineers would commence work on
reinforcing the wall.
Obviously, the Israeli
government knows that any attempt by Israel to shore up the wall, or
to touch it in any way even in a sincere effort to prevent its
collapse, would be met by a worldwide storm of protest from all of
Islam. Therefore, the Jordanians will attempt to repair the bulge.
But suppose the effort not only fails, but their work caused a
collapse?

Lazarus and The Rich
Man
Probably the best known
alleged "resident" in heaven is the famous beggar Lazarus! Countless
millions have heard the story of "Lazarus and the rich man," much
embellished, and with impassioned attacks against the unfeeling,
insufferable hauteur of the rich and their disdainful contempt for
the plight of the poor. The famous parable of Luke 16 seems to say,
to many millions, that Lazarus died and went to heaven, but that the
rich man died and went to hell! But is this what it really says?
Jesus said, "No man hath ascended up to heaven" (John 3:13). Did
Jesus make a mistake?

The Bible--Fact or
Fiction?
Is the Bible REALLY the Word of a Supreme Being?
Or, as the skeptics and evolutionists say, is it a collection of
Hebrew myths, distorted history, poetry and glaring contradictions?
Is there any real PROOF that the Bible is the word of God? For if it
is not, then hundreds of millions of Christ-professing "Christians"
are deluded into believing in myths!

Salvation By Works?
"For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8). Obviously,
God has offered salvation by His GRACE, and through FAITH in Jesus
Christ as Savior! Then WHY does the Bible say there are WORKS the
Christian must accomplish? Believe it or not, WORKS are a part of
salvation! James, the brother of Jesus Christ, said, "What doth it
profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not
works? can faith save him?" He then wrote, "But wilt thou know, O
vain man, that faith without works is dead?" (James 2:14, 20). Is
this a direct Bible contradiction? Does James mean one cannot be
saved apart from WORKS? Here is the surprising answer from your own
Bible!

"To Eat, Or Not To
Eat...?" That Is The Question
Are the so-called "dietary
laws" of the Bible merely "Jewish" restrictions, and not to be
observed by Christians? Millions of professing Christians eat pork
products, seafood of all kinds, rabbits, squirrels, even
rattlesnake. Most believe the "dietary laws" have long since been
"done away." Did Jesus Christ approve of eating pork? Did the
apostle Paul? Did Christ "make all meats clean?"
