harder to establish a closer
and ongoing relationship with
Him. It is only in this manner
that we will be protected from
this coming dreadful time!
And more importantly-to be
enabled to stand before His
glorius presence when He
returns!
12:1).
This will be the time of
Jacob’s trouble
(Jeremiah
30:4-7).
As God’s true people the
prophetic Scriptures in
Eze-
kiel (6:11-14; 7:23-26)
should
strike enough
godly fear
in each of us to
try harder to establish a closer
and ongoing relationship with
Him. It is only in this manner
that we will be protected from
this coming dreadful time!
And more importantly—to be
enabled to stand before His
glorious presence when He
returns!
Tragically, Israel and the
Corporate Churches are in
a
sleepy-time state of mind and
nothing it seems can startle
them sufficiently to awaken
them to see how little time we
now have and the vital need of
Spiritual preparation for it!
When considering the over-
view of our national un-
resolvable problems, and
where we are now in time, this
coming
Feast of Trumpets
is very close to the final
WAKE UP warning
before
the door closes!
(Revelation
3:18-22; Matthew 25:6-
13).
The collimation of these
horrors will lead to the sound-
ing of the 7th Trumpet that
will herald the return of Jesus
Christ back to this earth and
the dawning of a new age!
Meaningful Dates
Regarding the Gospel
We would do well to remem-
ber the Passover Season in
2006, and the following Janu-
ary 7, 2007, for they marked a
major milestone in regard to
end-time prophecy being
fulfilled. It was on those dates
Jesus Christ chose to
re-activate His Work – send-
ing out His Gospel and the
Ezekiel warning Message
through the use of the
Recorded Works of His late
apostle – using his VOICE and
WRITINGS – to reach the
world via websites. And with
those websites the beginning
of the publication of the Phila-
delphia Remnant Magazine
which is a composite of the
former Plain Truth and Good
News Magazine.
Jesus Christ has also been
using me since 2003 to write
articles to be published in the
Journal
(Church Newspaper
published in Big Sandy,
Texas)
to try and wake former
members up by urging them
to compare their beliefs with
Mr. Armstrong’s writing of the
Mystery of the Ages.
This effort has been to try and
get them back on track with
the fullness of the faith once
delivered to the saints and
restored by Jesus Christ
through His late apostle, Mr.
Herbert W. Armstrong. To my
sorrow there has been virtu-
ally no success!
It is truly sad that Scripture
reveals those of the Sardis and
the Laodicean Church Eras
won’t be counted worthy to
escape the
Great Tribula-
tion.
During this coming
horrifying time only those
who repent and remain faith-
ful to Him while experiencing
horrible deaths at the hands of
the Revived Holy Roman
Empire will be among those
who will be harvested in that
first resurrection
(Revelation 6:9-11).
