In this sweeping Bible Study Mr. Armstrong surveys the roots of conflict in the Middle East and wider afield based upon the ancestral connections of the major players down through not just secular history but Biblical history. It is quite a story. This study was given in 1997. The leading players have changed, some dead. But the conflicts remain and the comments valid.
You can also read this history in Mr. Armstrong's booklets - 
"Mid-East Strife! Will It Lead To Armageddon?" and
"Europe and America in Prophecy"

Matt. 10:28 "28And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell (gehenna fire). 

1985/09/21 - "Who Do You Fear?" - Garner Ted Armstrong

Who are the Arabs? What dominates the mind of Arabs?

When will the final battle occur before the return of Jesus Christ?

1990/11/24 -"Armageddon When?" - Garner Ted Armstrong

Jerusalem stands at the centre of Bible prophecy. At this time the modern Jewish state of Israel , made up of mainly members of the Tribe of Judah, is surrounded by hostile states.

1991/03/25 - "GTA In Jerusalem" - Garner Ted Armstrong

Christians must place on the armour of God.

1991/05/18 - "God's Armour In Place" - Garner Ted Armstrong

The doctrine of the Trinity is unBiblical and of pagan origin. The true teaching of the Bible is that God is a family, presently consisting God the Father and Jesus Christ, His Son. Before His human birth Jesus Christ was part of Elohim (plural)i.e. "Let US make man in OUR image" - He was the Word referred to in John1 and Hebrews 1. 
In the early 1990's the man who took over from Herbert W Armstrong as Pastor-General of the (now defunct) Worldwide Church of God unilaterally changed that church's doctrine of the nature of God to embrace the pagan teaching of the trinity.In this sermon, the son of Herbert W Armstrong, pulls apart and demolishes yet again the trinity doctrine and yet again shows Tchach, a man who went on to cause the WCG to abandon the Sabbath for Sunday and who was dead exactly 40 weeks, to the day and hour,  after he did that, to be a treacherous false teacher crept in unawares. Enjoy the sermon.

1993/11/06 -"Is God A Trinity?" - Garner Ted Armstrong Sermon

The Beast power described in the Book of Revelation arises at the end of the age. It will dominate the world for a short season - 42 months, three and one half years. Christians, those left at that time are admonished to resist and overcome this evil power. Those judged worthy will be protected.

1992/03/14 -"Overcoming The Beast" - Garner Ted Armstrong

In late December 1994 the then leader of the now defunct Worldwide Church of God announced to that church that they were ditching the doctrines of that church, including the Sabbath and the annual Holy Days, among many others. This sermon, delivered just a week or two after that announcement is Ted Armstrong's response and rebuttal, and his defence of the doctrines taught by his father Herbert W Armstrong, and of course his defence of what the Bible teaches.

The man who then lead the WCG and who announced the abandonment of God's truths in late December 1994 was dead exactly 40 weeks later to the day and the hour, if not the exact minute. That was God's response and rebuttal of this man's and that church's apostasy from the truth that God had revealed through Herbert W Armstrong and which truth continued to be taught by his son, Garner Ted Armstrong, and even now continues through the GTAEA and the HQ Intercontinental Church of God based in Tyler Texas, the GTAEA-Australia and the Intercontinental Church of God (Australia) Inc. 



1995/01/14 - "New Covenant Sabbath" - Garner Ted Armstrong sermon

This sermon is, as the title suggests, for those searching for the Truth of God, for those whose minds have been opened to understand what God is doing here below, what His plans are for His creation and His plans for expanding His Family. For anyone searching for those answers, this sermon is for you.

1995/03/11 - "For The Searchers" - Garner Ted Armstrong sermon

The cross is, and has been for many hundreds of years the primary symbol of the christian religion, at least the christian religion with it's own origins in Romish, pagan paraphernalia. Otherwise known as nominal christianity. And that means the Catholics and all the daughter churches of the Roman church numbering in their hundreds upon hundreds, all of whom look to the 'cross'.

But what if the cross as a symbol of christianity was unknown to the church that Christ built for the first two or three hundred years after Christ's death? What if the cross is not a symbol of christianity nor of Christ at all, but rather a pagan symbol foisted upon the church by Constantine and others to draw in the pagans - just as they foisted pagan Christmas and Easter (Ishtar) on a way of life hijacked by power hungry, money grubbing con men?

In this sermon Garner Ted Armstrong throws some light on yet another of Satan's many deceptions.

1982/06/05 - "Is The Cross Christian?" or "The History of the Cross" - Garner Ted Armstrong

War in the Middle East in most recent times kicked into full gear after October 7. But in reality  it has been a feature since 1948. And in 1996, when this sermon was delivered was close.

God has given mankind, his creation, free moral agency. We have the ability to choose. Choose wisely.

"What is a Pharisee " by Garner Ted Armstrong

God, when He forgives also forgets. He puts your sin as far as east is from the west. He won't bring it up again. Unless you force Him.

"Forgive and Forget" by Garner Ted Armstrong

The first Pentecost after Christ's death and resurrection. It was the beginning of the Christian church - the Church of God.

"The First Pentecost"  by Garner Ted Armstrong

We are all called to repent of our sins, seek forgiveness, be baptised and through the laying on of hands receive the Holy Spirit. But in this age not everyone. Many are called, few are chosen. 

"Will They Repent?" by Garner Ted Armstrong

The Apostle Paul started out a persecuted of the faith. He assisted in putting Christian converts in prison and to death. But the road to Damascus brought an instant change.

What does the Bible say about observing ones birthday? What about voting? Any in junction. against voting?

"Voting and Birthdays" by Garner Ted Armstrong

The Bible teaches we are all individually responsible for our own lives and salvation

"Individual Responsibility" by Garnerr Ted Armstrong

The traditional teaching on Christ's death and resurrection has Him dead on a Friday afternoon and resurrected Sunday morning. Three days and three nights? It's a big stretch. But Christ as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights so would He be in the heart of the Earth. Did Christ mean what He said? Jonah was written in Hebrew. It means what it says. Christ meant what He said. So how does that work? Ted Armstrong expounds and explains the scriptures.

1997/02/01 - "Three Days And Three Nights" - Garner Ted Armstrong sermon

The Bible speaks of "the commandments and doctrines of men" (Col.2:22). 
To what extent do the doctrines of men, doctrines of the world, infect religion? All religion, be it christian, islam, hinduism, bhuddism and every other "ism" of religions on the face of the earth. Even humanism.
But sticking with "christianity" just how many of the doctrines (teachings) of the Sunday keeping churches (and even the mainstream Sabbath keeping churches) can be found in the Bible as a commandment of God? Here's a hint. Almost none.

1984/03/10 - "Doctrines Of The World" - Garner Ted Armstrong sermon

What is the motive of God's work on earth at this time? Money making? Absolutely not. The Sabbath keeping Intercontinental Church of God and the Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association follow Christ's edict, "Freely have you received, freely give." However the Work of God, the twin commissions to the church, to preach the Gospel to the world and to feed the flock obviously requires funds. Those funds come from members of God's church and from members of the public who voluntarily decide to donate. Neither the Church of God, the Intercontinental Church of God, nor the GTAEA begs for money, does not request money. Never has, never will. God provides and the Work of preaching a warning message and feeding the flock is done to the extent funds allow. Just as in Jeremiah's day. And Jeremiah never converted anyone. But he faithfully carried out God's directions and will.

" 7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels," Revelation 12:7

1998/01/10- The Beginning of Intercontinental Church of God-by Garner Ted Armstrong

Is Satan a created being? Is he a "fallen angel? Was his original name "Lucifer"? Did Lucifer try to unseat God in almighty heavenly battle? Christ said He saw satan fall to earth like lightning. This series of radio broadcasts from the 1980's, presented by Garner Ted Armstrong, explores these and other questions.

1980's_ "Proofs God Exists" Ep. 1 Garner Ted Armstrong Radio Series

Way back in the 1950's the downward path of the USA was evident if you understood the identity of the USA in Bible prophecy. Six decades on and the path of the USA and for that matter the western world in general could not be more clear to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. Even those who disdain the Bible and reject it's prophetic truth can read the history books and see how every great empire or nation has diminished in power and faded from view - usually by reason of internal collapse in family and morals. Vast debt burdens and diminished military power also played a major role in in the decline and fall of past empires and great nations. Is there a correlation today?

1957_ "Downfall of the USA"_ by Garner Ted Armstrong

The Book of Lamentations has a lot to tell our generation. In this sermon there are some long acknowledged historical factual errors based upon the assumed truth of some claims post war regarding, for example, whether Hitler died in a Berlin bunker or had escaped. Acknowledging that, and any other factual error (shown by the passage of time) this sermon serves to demonstrate that GTA (and HWA) correctly predicted that Germany would once more rise from the ashes of war to dominate Europe and lead a grouping of European nations - and GTA did so decades before any other commentator - based upon Bible prophecy. For a later assessment of Germany listen to the GTA sermon "Assyria in Prophecy" from 1984.

1957_ "Lamentations"_ by Garner Ted Armstrong

Garner Ted Armstrong had a good singing voice and in his very early years had thought singing might be a career choice. Thankfully he never did follow that path but he did throughout his life continue to sing. Here are a few bars of two songs from 1958 including "Clothed as the Lilies" and" Jerusalem".

1958_ Song Medly incl. "Jerusalem"

1 Corinthians 5:
"7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."

Christ's death, as a sacrifice for the sins of the whole world, our own personal sins, abolished the need for a physical annual Passover lamb to be sacrificed. Christ was the ultimate for all time Passover lamb of God sacrificed for us.
