Recently, I received a letter from a gentleman who said: “Dear Mr. Armstrong. For the past several months I have [been] watching your television program, as well as ordering numerous tapes and booklets. I have certainly enjoyed your insight into the scriptures and do believe God has given you a special gift of interpretation (sic)….
WHERE is the true church? WHAT is the church? Should you belong to a church? Will you be lost if you do not? Why are there so many different churches? Can they all be part of the chosen body of Christ? What is the work of the church? To millions, churchgoing is an essential part of life-a long-remembered, traditional custom. To millions more,…
“And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent” (Revelation 12:14). This scripture obviously refers to God’s church. The “woman” is a symbol for the converted, called-out ones who…
Tens of thousands believe there is a place of safety, probably in the Jordanian desert, awaiting God’s church. Thousands fervently hope they can qualify to flee to this place to escape the coming Great Tribulation. Is this a valid hope? WILL the church go to such a place? Are YOU headed toward a “place of safety”? [see also…
In vision, John saw a huge throng of 144,000 “of all the tribes of the children of Israel” who are said to be “before the throne of God.” Who are these people? Are they in Heaven? Are they a church on earth? Here, in plain language, is the truth about the 144,000. by Garner Ted…

In this nightmarish vision, John saw a many headed monster seeming to rise slowly out…
This question has puzzled theologians for centuries: Was He God—Was He Angel—Was He Spiritual Essence—Did He Exist Only in the Plan, Thought, and Purpose of God? Did Christ exist prior to His Human birth through the virgin Mary? Was He God? Was He actually born in HUMAN flesh? Or … was He born of a divine mother, immaculately conceived?…
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…
Millions are crying out to God following our national tragedy; the horrifying attack by murderous terrorists on the twin trade towers and the Pentagon. Yet, there are many others who say they “are mad at God!” Prominent religious leaders who spoke at the National Cathedral in Washington DC plaintively echoed the same question, “Why did…
The first great command Jesus Christ will issue after His return will be that all nations must keep the Feast of Tabernacles! (Zechariah 14:16-19). Today, many “Christian” churches and organizations believe God’s annual holy days are “done away, ” nailed to the cross! WHY, then, will Jesus Christ issue this command at the very beginning…
