The more I watch your program and read your magazine, the more I want to learn. It’s like a cold glass of water on a hot summer day, totally refreshing and it hits the spot.

Just wanted to commend Gerald Weston on his outstanding editorial “An Existential Threat” in the June 2022 issue. I have often wondered about the rather “one-sided” reporting approach to the war in Ukraine, and his reflections seem to portray a more accurate and balanced view of what is actually happening. Appreciated the comments on World War II as well. My dad was a part of the U.S. Armed Forces that landed on Omaha Beach back in 1944. Keep up the great work!

I enjoyed this booklet [The United States and Great Britain in Prophecy]. I don’t like the following excerpt: “ …yes, there is a day of reckoning coming! Most of you reading this booklet can expect to see it come in your lifetime.” This statement disappoints me and dilutes a powerful message. Mark 13:32: “But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.” I do not know what lifetime it will happen, it could be today, tomorrow, or whenever, but none of us knows, you included.

Editor’s Note: Thank you for the kind words, and we can appreciate your sense of caution. Yet, Paul speaks to the followers of Christ and says that “you, brethren, are not in darkness so that this Day should overtake you as a thief” (1 Thessalonians 5:4), and Jesus Himself condemned those who cannot discern the signs of the times to tell what is approaching (Matthew 16:3–4). It is one thing to declare, in advance, the “day and hour.” It is quite another not to be able to recognize the generation that will see the Bible’s prophecies fulfilled.

I am very thankful that I am one of the blessed individuals that receives free booklets, magazines, and even a Bible study course from your non-profit organization. My son and my daughter are also enjoying reading the magazines. My son, who is planning to take AB Physics, was amazed when he read the article “Lost in the Multiverse.” My deep warmth and heartfelt thanks to you all.

Thank you for the booklet The Bible: Fact or Fiction? Very informative and easy to understand.

I caught the last few minutes of your teaching on the Sabbath. I never watch religious television; yet, when your program came on, I felt like leaving it on and listening. I am 55 and was in the process of keeping my second Sabbath day holy. I brought this topic up over the years with many Christians who strongly rebuked me. They needed proof that there is a reason why they should have to keep the Sabbath. I figured that if it is important to God, then it should be important to me. Thanks for your teaching on the topic.

Erratum: We mistakenly identified NATO in our July 2022 issue on p. 5 as the North American Treaty Organization. NATO is, of course, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. We apologize for the error.
