News Analysis
by Jon Bowles

given Wales UK 4 Sept 2004
This News Analysis briefly mentions a plague of locusts in West Africa and the Hurricane about to hit Florida, but then concentrates on the unique nature of the present suicide bombings by Islamic militants. When Mr Armstrong was alive, this particular phenomena was unheard of. Therefore the key we need today, is to apply the same principles we were formerly shown, but use them to analyse how prophecy fits with this development. (3.8 Mb)

“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Just what is an Apostle?

Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”

The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
