New Release
Many Are Called
At the time of the death of Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, January 16, 1986, the Worldwide Church of God numbered approximately 113,000, men, women and children.
The questions beg— “Where are all those large numbers today? Why did they leave? Where did they go? Where are they today?”

Unless the Corporate Churches of God that are off-track come to understand the life and death importance of this true teaching and repent (Malachi 4:6), they are soon going to suffer the reality of the horrors of the Great Tribulation.

The Three Elijahs
Because of their unwillingness to recognize the truth of the end-time Elijah being Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, they have not only rejected him, but in so doing they have also rejected some to all of the true doctrinal teachings that Jesus used him to RESTORE within His Church and have replaced them with the Pagan teachings of the Catholic and Protestant Churches.

Il faut que je fasse, tandis qu'il est jour, les oeuvres de celui qui m'a envoyé; la nuit vient, où personne ne peut travailler. Jean 9:4
Healing Today In God's Church
"Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the Church; and let them PRAY over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of FAITH shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him." (James 5:14-15).
For The Christian TODAY!
After the New Testament Church was started, the apostles and evangelists continued to HEAL THE SICK as well as preach the gospel!
Almost immediately after the Day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came, Peter and John, in the name of Jesus Christ, healed the cripple, lame from birth. (Acts 3:1-11). As a result, they were thrown into prison, but after they were released they met with the other disciples and prayed earnestly to God, saying: "And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, by stretching forth thine hand to HEAL." "And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spake the Word of God with boldness," (Acts 4:29-31).
Afterward so many were healed, that even Peter's shadow passing over the sick resulted in their healing, THRU GOD'S POWER. (Acts 5:15). Those who came to these ministers of Christ, for healing by PRAYER to GOD, "were HEALED, every one." (Acts 5:16).
Philip went down to Samaria, and the sick were HEALED! (Acts 8:5-7). Thru Paul's ministry, God healed the sick. The demand on his time became so great, and many at a distance whom Paul was unable to visit, wanted healing, and so God honored a SPECIAL MEANS -- Paul anointed and prayed over pieces of cloth -- handkerchiefs and aprons -- and sent them to these requesting prayer for healing, and THEY WERE HEALED! (Read of it in Acts 19:11-12).
Now God is the SAME today -- and hundreds today are being healed by that very method, given to us in the word of God! In my office we hold a daily prayer service. All letters requesting special prayer are brought in, and members of my staff join me in interceding with God for each one. All who ask prayer for HEALING are given special consideration and prayer. And, since it is impossible for me to visit each of these in their own homes, I anoint a handkerchief in each case, following the Apostle Paul's example, and this is mailed to the one who is sick.
Contact Mr. Billingsley today and ask to be put on the Church's Prayer Request List and receive your anointed cloth.

The Ezekiel WATCHMAN
God's Warning Message
God's Watchman/The Ezekiel Warning
In reference to taking the Gospel and the Ezekiel Warning Message to Israel and the world, (John 4:38; Matthew 24:14: Ezekiel 33:1-11), Jesus Christ said the night is soon coming when no one can work (John 9:4) . Realizing its closeness there is a great need to reach out with a loving and caring hand with this responsibility before it comes to be too late.
There is a great and vital need to be in the faithful Church Jesus Christ is now using in this end-time as a conduit or instrument to support His continued Work Via the Recorded Works of His late apostle on our websites. Revelation 3:7-13; Matthew 24:45-47. They also provide food for God's scattered people.
Please know by making the needed move to become an active member and participating in God's work could result in not having to experience the Great Tribulation and the possible loss of life!
Scripture reveals there will only be a FEW who will have heeded the WARNINGS and be blessed by God. Will YOU be of the Few, or of the majority who refuse to listen to our loving and caring God, who WARNS:
"Also I set WATCHMEN over you, saying, 'Listen to the sound of the Trumpet!' But they said, 'We will NOT listen' (Jeremiah 6:17). As to Why " ...You have forsaken the LORD your God and the FEAR of Me is NOT in you," says the LORD God of hosts (Jeremiah 2:19).
Most sincerely and lovingly, I ask: where will you and I be when disaster suddenly sprmgs upon the Church and Israel as a snare? Please know - unless we are vigilantly watching, praying, and enduring faithfully, while clinging to the TRUTH once delivered to the saints and restored by God's promised Elijah, we could be caught up in it and our cry to God would then be too late (Malachi 4:4-6; Jude 3-4; Luke 21:34-36; Revelation 3:8,10).
We MUST be preparing ourselves Spiritually NOW – while there is yet some remaining daylight, not trusting in ourselves, the military, or any one, but only in the true and wonderful caring God in heaven above.
Since prophecy reveals where we now are in time, it is all the more essential to keep in mind what God has made known through His Prophet:
“. . . The end has come it has DAWNED for you; Behold it has come! . . . a day of trouble is near . . . Now upon you, I will soon pour out My fury . . . So you, son of man: I have made you A WATCHMAN for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and WARN them for Me” (Ezekiel 7:6-8; 33:7).
Are we listening-are we involved in warning the Church Members who have strayed off-track, and Israel! Are we making the needed preparations, NOW! Tomorrow may be too late!
GOD'S WATCHMAN
by Pastor Alton B. "Don" Billingsley
Which day is the Christian Sabbath?
Jesus, teaching as part of His Gospel how to observe the Sabbath said: "The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath" (Mark 2:27-28).
In 1926 Mrs. Loma Armstrong came to the knowledge of God's Sabbath, this led to Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong involving himself in intensive study to determine what day was actually the Christian Sabbath.
God intended the Sabbath to be a BLESSING for mankind -- not a CURSE! And Jesus showed us by His living example, in principle, and by direct teaching, exactly HOW the Sabbath is to be kept so it can be a GREAT JOY and BLESSING to us all!
Teaching the Sabbath with love, bringing God's children to love the Sabbath is one of the goals of this website.
The 4th Commandment commands God’s people to rest from physical labor and pursuits and be spiritually rejuvenated by assembling together with other members to worship God wherever possible as also commanded by God through the apostle Paul (Exodus 20:8-11; Hebrews 10:25). It is to be observed from sunset to sunset on the 7th day of the week (Leviticus 23:32).
The truth about God's Sabbath transcends national and ethnic borders worldwide.

It is extremely important to each person to heed the instruction from God to protect this very special and precious blessing from the ever-present dangers to human life:
“Above all that you guard KEEP YOUR HEART (mind).” He proceeds to explain why: “. . . for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23, Jewish Translation).
This Scripture not only speaks of what you permit to come into your mind that can cause it to self-destruct from the ever-present evil that comes from many sources such as: wrong thoughts that lead to evil plans, porn, drugs, etc. (James 1:12-15).
The time is drawing very near when the promised CHANGE from physical to Spiritual will take place. And all that has been rightly learned and stored in our memory banks along with the necessary godly character that has been developed over the lifetime of being a true Christian will then be transformed and changed by a new birth into a glorified Spirit Mind and a Spirit Body.
There will be no limitations to the awesome BRAIN that will be powered by God’s Holy Spirit thereby creating an incredible MIND and with it a Spirit Body that will enable each member of the Family of God to live and rule under Him forever and ever!
This is the blessing reserved for those that will be blessed to be born into Gods’ Spirit Family; there will be no end of life nor of the continual growth in knowledge and creativity. What an awesome and wonderful blessing that awaits those counted worthy to experience a new spirit birth.
