REPORT
TO THE MINISTRY OF THE
WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
United States
HUMILIATED AGAIN!
by Herbert W. Armstrong
APRIL 25, 1980
As we go to press, the United States once again bungles a military
action and suffers another serious humiliation from a comparatively small
country.
For six months President Carter was blamed for "doing nothing'' about
the hostage crisis in Iran. Now we learn that all during this six months
the Pentagon and military command was preparing--training volunteers for
this attempt by helicopters to rescue the hostages. But first reports say
that one, two, or three of the helicopters, after they reached the Iranian
desert, from which point the rescue was to be made, went sour mechanically.
God Almighty says this country is now about to suffer punishment as
no other nation ever suffered in all history. Could the mechanical failure
of those helicopters have been an "ACT OF GOD"?
The knowledge of GOD'S WILL and of GOD'S WAY has been revealed to our
nation more than to any other. Since the expiration of the 2520 years of
withholding the national Birthright (Lev. 26) which God had promised UN
conditionally to Abraham--which expiration occurred 1800-1803--God has kept
His promise to Abraham by blessing our country as no other country ever was
blessed. We were blessed with GOD'S TRUTH, yet we trampled it underfoot,
and educated our on-coming generations in the atheistic, God-denying basic
approach to knowledge of atheistic EVOLUTION.
As a nation we have denied God's TEST Comrnandment--His holy Sabbath.
The churches of our country have turned God's Holy Word upside down, and
proclaimed the diametric opposite of its TRUTH! God chose to reveal to me
His Holy days and annual Festivals. Yet when I revealed them to the one
fragmentary true Church of God left on earth in 1927-1933, they "laughed
me to scorn" (II Chron. 30:10). No other church body on earth observes
God's annual festivals, with their true MEANING except the Worldwide
Church of God!
Our government, elected by vote of the people, has in many respects
been corrupt. God calls our people, even today, a stiff-necked and hard
hearted people--though some would disagree with God on that.
Now God says, in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28, He is about to pun
ish us as no nation ever was punished! See latter portion of our booklet
United States and Britain In Prophecy.
