A TALE OF TWO PROPHETS
The Full Booklet

The accent in this booklet is on Moses because his true purpose and personality are not visible in most "Christian" literature. Our style of presentation is not pedantic, argumentative or coldly factual, but rather, personal, intimate— an attempt to give human warmth and feeling. In that concept, some quotes are not intended to represent "Scripture"—adequate documentation of actual Scripture is present and so identified—but to give the "feel" of any given situation gained from decades of study and teaching; "poetic license," if you please.

The psychologists call him "emotional immaturity."

Trials and Tribulations of a Christian are directly related to the Born Again Process

(Subject Line above added by site editor for clarity)
SOME of the teachings in the Bible are a little hard for the average thinking mind to understand. James tells us to count it all joy when trials, ordeals, reverses, beset us. Troubles a JOY? That's pretty hard to accept, isn't it? And, for the average person, a lot harder to put into practice.

How to Understand the Bible

By Herbert W. Armstrong

THE ADVANCE news of tomorrow's world is good news!

This news is reported, before it happens, in the Bible. An entire third of all the Bible is devoted to foretelling world events. Why doesn't the world know about it?

The main course of history, up to now, was written before it occurred. What has happened to Egypt, Italy, Greece, ancient Babylon, Persia, modern Britain, America, Russia, was all written 2,000 or more years ago.

Interracial Marriage

Bible Study Sermon
by H. W. Armstrong (May 1982)

Well brethren, we are in the very last days. That is a sobering thing. I don’t think we really realize it. To us, I think, we seem to take life as if—that is, it isn’t life, it’s only a chemical existence, a temporary existence that we have—but I think we seem to take it as if it’s going to go on forever, and as if we’re going to live forever in this same world, same kind of conditions, same life. So we want to live it up while we can. We want to get all the fun and the enjoyment and the pleasure out of it while we can.
