Legacy Letter July 2012

20 August 2014, EXODUS 17:14-16 – And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi 1: For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. – Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Who is Amalek and why does God swear that He will have war with Amelek in every generation?

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, 8 December 2016 – The world is a chaotic and confusing place right now. Things are moving even more rapidly toward the End of the Age. It reminds me of Daniel 7:2. “Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.” If one keeps reading in Daniel 7, four beasts emerge from the turbulent waters. The turbulent waters depict the world in a state of rapid and chaotic change. Each beast represents a new world order emerging upon the earth…

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Friday, December 5th, was the 87th birth anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, King of Thailand. In Thailand, December 5th is also celebrated as national Father’s Day. King Bhumibol has the distinction of being the longest reigning monarch in the world today, having ascended the throne on June 9, 1946. Queen Elizabeth II of England is the second longest reigning monarch.

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.
