MATTHEW24SIGNS

Mark A. Little Does God have a 7,000 year plan of salvation for mankind? Does the fulfillment of that plan through God’s Holy Days occur within a 7,000 year timeframe? Does the Bible teach a 7,000 year plan of salvation for mankind? The Church of God holds to an understanding that God’s plan of salvation is a 7,000 year plan. God’s late apostle, Herbert W. Armstrong, taught the length of this plan consisted of 6,000 years for mankind to live on the earth cut off from God

Mark A. Little There are people within God’s Church today, who believe the teachings of Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong cannot be changed. This belief expressed in words is, “You can’t change what God’s apostle established.” An example of this kind of thinking is illustrated on a Church of God website, committed to upholding the biblical truths taught by Mr. Armstrong. “We do not have the authority to change any doctrine, restored truth, or judgment instituted (by Christ), throug

Mark A. Little For years there have been several Herbert W. Armstrong “wannabes” in the Church of God. Since his death and the demise of the Worldwide Church of God, these “wannabes” claim God is using them and their organizations to continue taking the gospel to the world. A fair examination of their efforts, 30 years after Mr. Armstrong’s death should determine if their claims are valid or not.

Mark A. Little Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign slogan for 2016 is, “Make America Great Again.” This slogan takes aim at the steep decline of American power both at home and abroad over the past 7½ years. Certainly America’s influence and stature in the world has diminished greatly under President Obama. America is in dire need of effective leadership and the prospect of such leadership over the next 4 years is not good. Soon, Americans will choose be

Mark A. Little The Great Tribulation will begin on the Feast of Trumpets ( Hos. 9:5-6 , 5:7 , 9 ). This means the period of time described as time, times and ½ a X (X, X’s & ½ a X) will begin in the fall of the year and conclude in the spring of the year 3 ½ years later. The diagram below illustrates this timing. The prevailing thought within God’s Church today is that the Feast of Trumpets represents the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ. This is understandable given the fact Chr

Mark A. Little The ability to determine the number of days in “time, times and half a time” (X, X’s & ½ a X), requires a working knowledge of the Hebrew calendar and an understanding of when the Great Tribulation will begin. The Hebrew calendar has been a point of contention within God’s Church over the years. This should not be, since God committed its preservation to the Jewish people ( Rom. 3:2 ).
