Now the Holy Spirit was not yet available. So Adam started a world, because he had children. He had Cain and Abel, and he had Seth. The Bible says he had others, sons and daughters; but it doesn’t name them. Others came, and they had sons and daughters; and it came to the time when population was increasing at the time of the Flood. They were having a population explosion. God caused them all to be drowned because they were GOING THE WRONG WAY, except Noah and his family—eight people. ALL OF THE WORLD (except for those eight people) they were cut off without the
Spirit of God, without the direction of the Spirit of God, without the Spirit which would open their minds to understand the teaching of God.
Now there was the kingdom of Israel raised up from slaves. God REVEALED His law to them. God REVEALED His truth to them. But they didn’t understand it. They didn’t have the Holy Spirit. So they were taught it, but it can only be understood through the Spirit to open up your mind to understand it. A cow can’t understand what a man can, because it doesn’t have the spirit of man. It’s the spirit of man that makes your mind understand materialistic knowledge. I hope you can understand that.
But Adam’s children, now, gradually got into a civilization. As they were then, there were many people. They began to realize they had to get some kind of organization. So they had men set up this, and that, and the other; but they didn’t have right knowledge of how to get along with one another. The man at the head was always self-centered, and he tried to use those under him for his own good and his own benefit—where God uses those under Him for the benefit of the ones under it. God is a Giver, not a getter. But those that are heads over other people in this world try to get from them

Bible Correspondence Course Lesson # 13
 IF YOU are saved, WHERE will you SPEhTD ETERNITY? Do you really know? What is your POSITIVE ASSURANCE?
Where does God-not man-but GOD, the Supreme Creator, Sustainer, and Ruler of all things, say you will be? He is the only one who is the FINAL AUTHORITY. Have you ever looked into your Bible to see if He says you will go to heaven if you are saved? Have you ever looked into your BIBLE to see what it REVEALS about what the saved shall inherit for eternity?
It’s going to come as a surprise to most of you to realize you never have. Of course, you’ve always heard that you’ll go to heavcn, if you are savcdyou’ve just accepted it, probably-but did you ever stop to PROVE it-did you ever try to find it pronrised in your Bible? If you do try, you’ll probably be even more surprised! What is the truth? Let us UNDERSTAND!

 If any one word describes the awe some universe in which we live, it is probably “design.” Since the dawn of history, man has marveled at the beauty, the order, and the systematic planning that seem to permeate all creation—from the smallest atom to the greatest galaxy. The specialized abilities and characteristics of living things are especially dumbfounding. From the marvelous metamorphosis of a butterfly to the uncanny clock of the 17-year locust, our earth is literally teeming with countless millions of remarkable creatures—each with its own unique and intricately designed forms of behavior. Actually, the more science discovers, the more utterly amazing life becomes.
So wondrous are the works of nature that the evidence for a Master Designer seems overwhelming. Indeed, of all the proofs of God’s existence, the “argument from design” is perhaps the most cogent.
The “design proof” -of God simply states that there must be a Great Creator because the likelihood of chance and randomness producing the apparent order and design of the universe is infinitesimally small. The argument from design does not gain its cogency from the fact that the particular arrangement of the universe is unlikely per se, but rather from the fact that it is unlikely that it would appear planned and designed if it were solely the result of chance. Think of a deck of cards. If you examined a well-shuffled deck, you would expect the order of the cards to be quite random. You would not expect to find the cards in an order that would indicate an intelligent being had arranged them according to a special design or for a unique Durpose. The likelihood that you would ever see that particular ar-rangement again might be extremely remote; yet if you found the deck to-tally randomized, it would be obvious that thie cards were not specially arranged by an intelligent being.

 Jesus Christ thunders to those of us living in the end time, “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man” (Luke 21:36). But how do you watch ? What do you watch? And why is it important anyway ?Nationwide surveys indicate that some residents of the U. S. don’t even know who the Vice-President is! Millions are ignorant of who their own elected representatives are — let alone leaders of other important nations around the world. Millions are oblivious to major trouble spots, important capitals, and strategic locations in the world.
You can’t afford to be that uninformed!
The Apostle Paul set an example for us when he appeared before King Agrippa: “I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee … especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews…” (Acts 26:2-3).

 The Prophecies of the Book of REVELATION are revealed at last! The closed, sealed prophecies are opened. Here is a startling, eye-opening booklet vividly picturing the catastrophic events soon to bring the END OF THIS AGE!
GOD’S TIME has come! At last, the most mysterious, intriguing, never-before-understood Book of Revelation stands UNVEILED!

Science, technology and industry are producing more and more frightful weapons of mass destruction. Already they have produced the means to erase human life from the earth!
Meanwhile, immorality, crime, violence, poverty, sickness and disease, famine and starvation stalk the earth, in fast-increasing acceleration.
However, there exists a living God of love, mercy, compassion, wisdom, justice, of transcendent PURPOSE and of SUPREME POWER, very soon now to intervene, and BY FORCE to save humanity from itself. If He did not exist–then indeed the imminent end of the world would become also THE END OF HUMAN LIFE!

And what was it, and how organized, in 1933, and from A.D. 31-70?
The Work of God, and the organization and government of the Church of God, underwent radical changes from A.D. 31-70 to 1933, and also from 1933 to the present.
We need now to stop and get our perspective. Was it as it should have been in 1933? Is it TODAY?
Radical and significant changes have occurred in the world during these intervals. Yet the same Church of God has continued — not, in the years 1927-33, as it should have been. Yet it was the only body of believers on earth that had the true name — the “commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Rev. 14:12).

 Bible Correspondence Course Lesson Number 12
CAN IT be proved that the Bible is an INSPIRED revelation from God for man?-that you can depend on its teachings to lead you to salvation?

HOW CAN YOU KNOW it has not been corrupted beyond recognition.

 There are immutable laws governing the entire universe which act upon everything and everyone. Ignorance of them does not suspend or annul their effect. Painful penalties are reaped when they are broken; health and happiness result when we are in harmony with them. Health is not an accident — nor is disease.
There is a cause for every effect!
It is not the purpose of this booklet to give specific diet or therapeutic treatment for illness, but to give you understanding and awareness of these basic, living laws of radiant health.

Why did Jesus Christ express such concern toward those He called “lukewarm”? Why did He say He would rather they be “cold”?
The young man’s attitude and approach to Jesus Christ was not childlike!
Jesus had just taken little children up in His arms, and blessed them. Jesus said, “Of such is the kingdom of God,” then reiterated, “Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it” (Luke 18:16-17).
The young ruler, holder of substantial prestige and honor, sought from Jesus that final ingredient that would, in like manner, qualify him for God’s Kingdom. With a guise of humility, he admitted to keeping the Ten Commandments “from my youth.” He was quick to point out his good points, and seemed desirous of knowing if there might be anything else he should be doing — ifany such thing remained.
He didn’t expect the answer he received.

Thy Kingdom Come

“In this manner, therefore pray:
‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your Name, Your KINGDOM COME—
