Legacy Letter September 2020

16 June 2016, Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Baal worship is coming back to modern day Israel. In ancient Israel, Baal was a replacement for Yahweh, the true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It wasn’t that Yahweh disappeared from the culture of Israel; it was that Baal was worshiped as provider and sustainer instead of Yahweh. Baal was considered more powerful and became the supreme deity of the Canaanites and ultimately, Israel. Some ancient texts show that Baal wanted to overcome the Creator El and become king of the gods. Sound familiar?

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, – The Feast of Tabernacles is over and it is back to the grind for all of us. God gives us a very small taste of the future and it remains only a shadow of what is to come. Three times a year God tells us to gather together before Him. The spring convocations remind us that Jesus Christ died for us so we do not have to die. His sacrifice opens the door for all mankind to obtain eternal life…

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong met King Bhumibol Adulyadej the first time in 1971. At that time, the king told him about a new project to educate the ethnic hill tribes that inhabited the highland border region of northern Thailand. These hill tribes grew opium and sold it to Chinese middle-men as their only cash crop. The king wanted to teach them to grow other crops, such as peaches and vegetables, to replace the opium they grew. This would be more profitable for the hill tribes and much less destructive to the upland forests and humanity as a whole. The king also wanted to give their children an education but had very few trained teachers.

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers,
I am going to talk to you in this letter about a NEW WORLD ORDER.  There is a very powerful world movement towards a system of world government that has centralized power, is socialist and humanist in nature, enacts worldwide uniform and universal laws, and will have a new system of world trade with a new world currency.  Of course, individual nations will have to give up their sovereignty to this immerging new world order, or they will not be permitted to benefit from its control of world trade. Now before you begin to think I have gone off on a conspiracy theory trail to fanaticism, just let me say that the Bible talks a great deal about this New World Order—and it turns out to be not so “new” after all!
