in the front row. I said, "That's
just it." I said, "YOU want to
have YOUR CAMP MEET-
INGS. You want to have YOUR
WAYS. But GOD'S HOLY
FEASTS, GOD'S HOLY DAYS,
you don't want to observe." So
his trap came right back on
him. But God has always
helped me in a case like that.
WHAT IS CHRIST
DOING TODAY?
Well, I just wanted to explain a
little about that sort of thing;
and today I thought I would do
that. I would not only take a
chapter, perhaps I'll continue
on later; but I would start in
the book of Hebrews. Now I
find that it has been almost 20
years ago (19 or 20 years ago)
in England I started a series of
sermons on the book of
Hebrews, and I believe I con-
tinued it even here in Pasadena
at that time. Well, that's almost
a generation ago.
Then I had a long series of
programs on radio, and that
series of programs on the book
of Hebrews was repeated on
radio about a year or so ago. I
haven't been following it in the
last year. I don't know just
what they've been running just
recently, but I didn't expect so.
I thought that was a fairly good
series, an interesting series of
television, or radio programs
rather; and I think it may be
repeated again, because it was
not dated. It was not timed. It
is just as good now as it was 20
years ago. But I think we need
some of that again. In other

words, the book of Hebrews is
the book about Jesus as our
High Priest.
Now one might ask this ques-
tion: What has Jesus been
doing this past 1900 years? Is
Jesus dead? Well, He died; but
your Bible and mine says He
rose again, and He is not dead
any longer. The last we saw of
Him, He
"ascended up to
heaven and a cloud
received him out of their
sight."
That was about 10 days before
the day of Pentecost and 40
days after His resurrection. But
where's He been since? What
has He been doing? He has
been very much alive, and He
has been doing something for
us. He IS the head of the
Church, but He is not a dead
head of the Church.
You know, that reminds me, I
was having a luncheon one
time and holding a series of
meetings up in Umapine,
Oregon. There were some 7th
Day Adventists people up
there, and one of them had
come to one of my meetings. Of
course, they didn't come to
more than one of them. But
they came to one, and to invite
me to their home for, I think it
was a Sabbath or a Sunday
dinner. Well, I accepted. I
went.
Well, of course, they got into
an argument with me; and they
talked about their having a
prophet in their church. And
they said, "Well, Mr. Arm-
strong does the Church of God
have a prophet?" I said, "Oh,
yes." I said "Jesus Christ is our
Prophet." "Oh well, well." they
said, "We mean a living
prophet. But do you have any
living prophets?" "No," I said,
"Do you?" (because Mrs. Ellen
G. White is their prophet and
she died quite a while ago).
And they looked at one another
rather astonished. They had
forgotten their prophet is dead.
I said, "Your prophet is dead,
but our Prophet is still living.
Our Prophet is Jesus Christ.
He is the head of the Church.
He “ascended up to heaven
and a cloud received him
out of their sight.”
