Do You Take Herbert Armstrong at His Word? To Whom It May Concern:
They say they support Herbert W. Armstrong, but they refuse to take him at his word. In his last book Mystery of the Ages he wrote, “The true gospel has been restored and has now gone in power into every nation on the face of the earth. The true gospel, for the first time in 1900 years, has finally been proclaimed and published into all nations of the earth.”
In spite of these clear statements, the spokesperson for one breakaway group from the WCG said the following about those of us who have taken Mr. Herbert Armstrong at his word. “Do they think Herbert W. Armstrong really thought we should not get the gospel out?” Obviously yes, since he confirmed in his last book that this aspect of the work had been accomplished by him. So, in Mr. Armstrong's thinking, what remained to be accomplished?
As far back as May 1982, Mr. Herbert Armstrong wrote in the Good News, “I have had to ask myself what has Christ been doing with my life since I was brought back in August, 1977? . . . My efforts as Christ's apostle since the heart failure have been almost wholly devoted to preparing God's Church. The spiritual temple to which Christ will come…”
The living Christ as Head of His Church had been using His chosen apostle to turn His Church around - to set it back on God's track!!!
But I want to leave this thought with you now…
As we come to God's Feast of First fruits (Pentecost), let us bear forcibly in mind, we in God's Church must be made ready--for Christ is coming soon. We are not yet ready to be instantly changed and caught up to meet our Lord as He comes in the clouds!
The Church wasn't ready in 1977, 1982, or 1986 and it still isn't in 2001.
Leaders who tell you the gospel must still go to the nations are deluding you right into the tribulation. They have the wrong perspective, because they have forgotten who Mr. Armstrong was. Wake Up! That door was shut with the death of Herbert Armstrong in January 1986 (Rev. 3:7-8).
The focus today, as he said, must be on preparing the Church of God for Christ's return!
