Examine Yourself for Self-deceit
Key Of David

After Herbert W. Armstrong died in 1986, the Worldwide Church of God (wcg) quickly began to turn away from the truth God had taught through him.

Revelation 3:9 reveals something shocking: Within the Church in the Philadelphia era, under Mr. Armstrong, a “synagogue of Satan” existed. The devil set up his own church right inside God’s Church—while Mr. Armstrong was alive! This satanic plot almost succeeded in the 1970s when Mr. Armstrong was close to death. He recovered and regained control of the Church, but that “synagogue” remained. Then when he died, the Church transitioned into the Laodicean era, and Satan’s “synagogue” took over (verses 14-22).

Realize how Satan can work through people. He even got some top ministers to bring in what the Apostle Peter called “damnable heresies” (2 Peter 2:1). It took Satan about five years to destroy 95 percent of God’s Church. Five years! It is astonishing how successful those satanically inspired men were at destroying God’s Church!

Letters

I like people like Gerald Flurry, who put insight into the Scriptures.
S. K.
Thanks for this teaching! Great topic that we definitely all need to know and determine when that is.
B. S.
I refer to your recent letter welcoming me as a new co-worker and laborer with the Philadelphia Church of God. I’d just like to say how honored and privileged I feel to be considered in such a way, and hope to continue to support God’s Work diligently through prayer and financially into the future.
E. S.
I would just like to say that I am so impressed with the message that I am reading in this booklet. It is helping me to deepen my understanding of the Bible and is a joy to read. The doctrine is very inspirational, helping me to build a desire to learn more. Many thanks.
K. M.
I love what you people are doing. I very much wanted to go to Tampa to hear Mr. Flurry, but I didn’t have a ride, but I love your material. I was a Seventh Day Baptist when I was younger, and I am so glad that I found people who keep the Ten Commandments.

Justice and Our “Evolving Constitution”
Presidential candidate Al Gore said that we need an “evolving Constitution.” But why did Abraham Lincoln or other great leaders never use that expression? Before we ask for an “evolving Constitution,” we need to understand the end result of our evolving!

Like a Biblical Prophet … Nobel Prize Winner Warned America
Alexander Solzhenitsyn received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1970. He is one of the world’s most famous writers. In 1978, he delivered the Harvard commencement address. I believe it was the most condemning public speech ever given on American soil. America and the West scorned his warning message of hope. That negative reaction is proving to be a major disaster!

Watch Jerusalem!
Jerusalem means “city of peace,” and yet this city’s history has been filled with rivers of blood! No city has suffered like Jerusalem. It has known almost no peace! And today, it could explode into war at any moment. But there is very good news. That blood-soaked city will soon become a city of peace!

The European Union’s Fatal Flaw
There is a dangerous swing to the right in Europe—both politically and religiously. But what most people don’t realize is that this is the natural growth and development of the Holy Roman Empire. This swing to the extreme right will be the worst ever. But it will lead directly to the best news this world has ever heard!

Malachi’s Message
This is a story about God’s Church gone off track and what God did to correct the tragedy.
Herbert W. Armstrong founded the Worldwide Church of God in 1934 (though it began with a different name) and led it for over 51 years to its height in membership, global impact and income at the time of his death in 1986.
Soon, however, disturbing and significant changes in Church doctrine began to be introduced. The changes revealed a diversion in course, one that led to catastrophe.
