With me up here are the only three, that I know, that were original members of the parent Church when it was first formed. Now I understand that there are several others who came into the headquarters' Church up here a little later, or many who were just children and hadn't grown up to be baptiz ...
Well, greetings, brethren. Not only do you here in Pasadena, but to all you brethren, you just telephoned in from New Zealand that you're getting the program down there. And right now, it's very close to nine o'clock tomorrow morning in New Zealand. And yet, at the same time that it is here, n ...
Well greetings brethren all over the United States and Canada and Britain. What a blessing we've been enjoying already. We got off to a wonderful start last night and earlier this morning here at Pasadena. And I'm sure you did in all the other Feast sites all over the United States, Canada, and ...
They say it's a fanciful imaginary something that is impossible a time of such wonderful peace and joy and happiness that it couldn't ever happen. Could it never happen, is it impossible? This world thinks it is, this world is living in abject ignorance and poverty, it doesn't know these thing ...
And greetings brethren all around the world and right now live with us all over the United States, Canada, Hawaii, Alaska, England and I think even in New Zealand. What a wonderful thing it was to all be singing these same hymns together, in England, all over Canada and the United States together. T ...
Well greetings all of you future kings and priests that are going to have these wonderful spiritual crowns, you're going to rule the world, you're going to teach the world the way to peace, to happiness and to joy and to real accomplishment. You know when this Church first started and it started ...
I want to read to you something I hadn't intended to use. This is my mother's favorite text in the Bible. (She died at age 95 and a half. I'll be up to matching her pretty soon. I'm in my ninetieth year now.) The 133rd Psalm — Behold, how good and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell toget ...
I can't repeat that because my name is so long I won't have time to finish my sermon, it's a Polish name and I've heard all the jokes. Mr. Hoyt yesterday morning, a good friend of mine, was mentioning these flags or listing off these flags behind us here, he didn't mention the flag of Pola ...
You know, a few years ago, I gave a sermon on the Kingdom of God. And I explained in that sermon basically how we're going to become gods, how we're going to rule the world tomorrow. The fact that we are going to be kings and priests, and I sat down after giving that sermon, and I sort of patted ...
Well greetings brethren, it's really good to have this opportunity to speak to all of you. The times we're living I think we all understand are not simply normal, average, ordinary times. We have gone through during the course of the twentieth century events that have built to the point of setti ...
The special music this morning was especially touching I felt, the first number "All My Trials Lord, Soon Be Over", an old Nero Spiritual that came out of agony and misery, came out of slavery and came from the heart of a people that looked forward to freedom, looked forward to a day when ...
You know as Ted said the other day in coming out here, his little son Mark so flustered in things and he hears him say, well he ask surely, he says is that a cop behind you, to use that expression and Mark looked around and said daddy is that a cop back there? And you know how children pick those th ...
We are here, on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles 1984, to sort of have a foretaste of that time described in your Bible (in Revelation 11 and verse 15) when all the governments, and kingdoms, nations of this world will have become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ. They will no longer ...
Well as the saying goes in showbiz, that's quite an act to follow, those were certainty, lovely, adorable children who gave their 100% best to provide the special music on this Youth Day and as I'm sure all of you have noticed we do have the youth of different ages serving today as Ushers and pa ...
Now before the message this morning I feel I should say one thing, generally it is not regarded as proper to applaud a sacred song. I know we appreciate your attitude and spirit in doing it and I'm sure the singers do and it's quite alright to applaud something of a secular nature like we were h ...
Good morning everyone; I'd like to second what another Minister's already said previous to today that it is a awesome sight and a beautiful sight to see so many of Gods people invoking together, seventh day of the Feast of Tabernacles, to see so many of you it's just a beautiful and awe inspir ...
Certainly a beautiful feast, I hope that the rain hasn't dampened anyone's spirits. Seems like this year the theme of the feast is being a family, certainly that is the theme of the Feast of Tabernacles, so all this rain has just helped us spend a little more time together as family, I know our ...
I know most of you didn't recognize me, because I lost part of my face, but after about 3 years my wife said; "honey, I forget what you look like" so I had to shave it off to remind her again, but winters coming. So I think after the Feast I will go back to the primitive fashion that I h ...
Well brethren, we are here of course at the Feast of Tabernacles, we're in the midst of the fall Festival season and it's a season that focuses our attention on the establishment of the Kingdom of God, on the time when the God of Heaven will setup a Kingdom that will never be removed. And of cou ...
...It is something that we all must learn to do and it's something that is not natural with us and that is this matter of endurance or perseverance if you might want to call it by that title, there is just something about our human nature that we want action now, we want a decision made now, if we ...
You know this has been a real hard hitting feast and I know that for me the messages that have been given throughout this festival have been hard hitting in my life. I've received something from each speaker that I feel in both the sermonette as well as the main sermon, but I hope that it's not ...
Greetings brethren, around the world, here we are once again, another year, another Feast of Tabernacles and this year in 83 festival sites all around the world in 47 different countries, different nations, think of that! Every continent of the world and many of the islands in the sea, tonight I'm ...
Good evening Brethren around the world, all 131,000 of you, they tell me that there are 131,000 of you attending the Feast this year and you're all my children in the Lord. I wonder if you realize how you come to be there where you are and how you come to be attending this Festival. Did you know t ...

Good evening brethren around the world, I'm speaking to you tonight from our own television studio where I usually do the World Tomorrow Telecast here in Pasadena, California. You are one of those attending 85 different Feast sites in 49 different countries around the world, I want you to think of ...
We are here in what should be the most joyful occasion of the year. The Feast of Tabernacles is a time of rejoicing. It is a foretaste of the Kingdom of God. I'm going to begin tomorrow morning again, as we do every year, to explain what these festivals mean because God has given them to us for a ...
Back in 1495, 3 years after Columbus discovered America, in a obscure spot in Switzerland near where Baron is located today, a couple of brothers had a disagreement, the father had just died and the sons argued over possession of the property, their names where Hans and Curie, Curie it seem had rema ...
I want to give you some of the truth tonight; and I hope it will open your eyes because I think, brethren, that so much Protestantism has rubbed off on us. We just have come to take it for granted, and just assumed that their concept (of God, of Christ, of salvation, of the purpose of everything) is ...
With most people what God has called beginning right with Abel and down into our day will fulfill the great destiny for which they have been called and prepared and of course we are among those people and our destiny the very reason for our calling and our preparation will come into action in the ve ...
Like to talk to you about a subject that you've all heard about, in fact everyday at this feast someone has mentioned the subject or mentioned this individual. Every morning we right after the song service He's mentioned almost without exception. He's mentioned in the conclusion without except ...
I think I really should equalize, a little bit, something Mr. Switzer said when he spoke here a few days ago about the coming across the county line, from wherever he came from, I forgot a little bit about where that was, but I know there are a lot of people here from Missouri because they just don+ ...
A solid family structure is the basis and the foundation of any stable society and we're losing that in this country, we're losing it all around the world. I greeted you as my children in the Lord, that's because I could of asked if you were observing your 50th Feast or more than your 50th Fea ...
Buenos Dias!, Aw come on you can do better than that; Mexicans can do better than that. Buenos Dias!, [Audience - Buenos Dias]. See Mr. Walt Dickenson gave me permission to do that the other day. Are you having a great Feast? I really don't know why I'm up here, I look around and see a number of ...
Good morning, I came from the Pocono's, Mr. Meredith was in Wisconsin Dells, we had about 5,400 people there in Pocono which is about 500 people more than they expected, I hope that, that occurs at every Feast site, I just added a third here, either that or people were going here and there instead ...
Greetings Brethren, from Mr. Armstrong first and foremost and then from those of us in Pasadena, we no longer call it Headquarters, Headquarters is in Tucson, Arizona where Mr. Herbert W Armstrong lives. My wife who's here with me and I've been looking forward to being back in Lake of the Ozarks ...
Well, greetings all my little children. I address you as my little children because all of you who have and are led by the Holy Spirit are directly or indirectly my children in the Lord Jesus Christ. I might say that this is the fiftieth Feast of Tabernacles for me, number fifty. And let me see, I t ...
It is a sad world, the government in this world and I'm interested in government, you know I heard just this morning that the government over in Italy has fallen, they resigned and I say boy, what else is new. My how many governments have they had over in Italy that have gone one after another and ...
I have been observing these festivals now for 58 years, longer than any of you. And so I look on you as my children; and I am going to talk to you tonight as a father. Now I have a Bible in front of me. But, you know, I can't read a word of it. Last year, when I talked to you on this program the n ...
World events all around us are crashing for the crash or grand smash climax and the end of this present world and its civilization. Actually it seems as if God has been deliberately holding back world events, and we'll compare Revelation 7:1, to give His Church time to get cleaned up and ready for ...
I don't know, it seems like probably when I was up in Massachusetts, there were a lot of problems and there was so many healings. People who, ladies who had apparently cancer, lumps in their breast, would be healed within a week and probably the healings that I remember most, a little girl that ha ...
Good morning everyone; the first part of the service, I'd like to take a little time to relate a few things that have been going on as far as the contact that I've had last 9 months with Mr. Herbert Armstrong, I've had more opportunity to be with him this past year than any year for about 25 y ...
It has unfortunately been at times here in Australia where we've had to go into and out of our areas very quickly, well when we were privileged to be told we would be coming down we had to make a decision whether to come to just one or two places and stay longer or see as much as we could and not ...
Now if there is anything I enjoy on television, it's something that I can relate with, being the hero, right? Obviously a handsome hero, the one who wins the battle whether it be WWI or the Civil War or the Revolutionary War or maybe the fighter who wins, you know, he's being beaten to a pulp an ...
I have a riddle for you this morning; how do you learn to fear God in the midst of opulence, celebration and inspiration? Think about that for a minute. How do you learn the fear of God when you're celebrating and enjoying life to the full? Turn if you would to Deuteronomy the 14th chapter, I woul ...
Seems that names and nationalities among the Ministry have become a slight point of interest at this Feast, in fact Mr. Sinkoviac, I believe that is the pronunciation, had made a comment about his Polish background, also the man proceeding me, Mr. Saforic the Bohemian origin and I'm Ukrainian "Kub ...
It's a thrill to see a sea of faces as vast as this one is, I've been in Tucson for a couple of days at the beginning of the Feast of Tabernacles this year and the Brethren there sit in a kind of a vast auditorium like a gymnasium in a sense and you don't have the same feeling of size that you ...
We sing songs all the time, I don't, yeah there is a song book here, and we sing to the glory of God in this song book, song after song, to the glory of God. Every now and again when I lead music, I say "you know, wouldn't be nice to sing a song about yourself for a change?" All the ti ...
I don't know how many of you realize that there is just one more day to the Feast of Tabernacles, can I see your hands, one more day to the end of the Feast of Tabernacles. No actually this is the last day, just two more hours really because this is a special Feast, the Feast of Tabernacles and I ...
So, I suppose that if I were going to speak with any authority this morning, I ought to change my robe. So, I did so I have black hair in a black suit and maybe you can see me from the backdrop up here this morning. There was one particular point that was made last night that struck home. He was tal ...
Well good morning brethren, very nice to see all of you here on this very beautiful morning of the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, a very lovely special music, both selections. We are here at the beginning of God's Feast of Tabernacles and we're celebrating a time that is yet to come, a t ...
I want to thank the men and women singing with a large group of this nature, there is one thing that is important and that is to stay together and be voices of the different groups certainly indicate the care with which the musical presentation is given. Mr. Oaus mentioned we anticipated roughly 25, ...
Celebrating a very special time, celebrating a time that is to come, and it is very significant that at this particular time, at this festival season, there is a great deal that is going on in the world around us and there are events that are going on that are actually setting the stage for the fulf ...
But, if we overcome, we are the ones to reign and rule with Christ. Those who are converted after Christ comes, then He's going to set his hand to save everybody that is still living. They don't have that and they don't have Satan to overcome. Satan will be gone, then. And we have to overcome ...
Good afternoon Brethren, sincerely hope that this Feast of Tabernacles is truly your best ever, I think that, not only think, but I know my wife and I can say, that this Feast of Tabernacles so far, has been the very best we've ever enjoyed. I've noted that a couple of people have come to me in ...
Good morning everyone, had to look around and see who all was here, looks like your all here, just about full. Certainly happy to be here with you in the Lake of the Ozarks this year, I've never been privileged to attend this festival site having basically lived in California. I grew up in souther ...
Today is the 7th month and the 15th day on God's calendar, this is a period of time that pictures an event, in a situation in the future, which the Great God and Savior of the world will have been on this earth for 14 days. Now, I wonder if we can all imagine what it will be like to have the turmo ...
I've never known that this part of the country is also an adjunct to Texas. I see Mr. Chris is taking credit for the weather as well, so there will be a line forming over here if anybody has any comments about the weather. Mr. Chris is handling all those comments. You know, brethren, if you know h ...
Say good morning to all of you, sure hope all of you are having a very, very fine Feast of Tabernacles. My wife and I started out in the Ministry about 14 years ago in Indiana, went from there down to Georgia and spent 6 years there, then to College for another year, sabbatical, then back out to Nor ...
I would like to introduce at the beginning of this Festival the background for why we are here and understanding of the fundamental concepts that underly the distinction between prophecy and the plan of God and what we my know from the Bible, prophetically, for the world today and what is prophesied ...
Today is the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles 1981 in the Lake of the Ozarks and all around the world. After tomorrow, The Last Great Day we will all be returning to the world, to the conditions that we left 7 days ago, to be here together, to fellowship together and hear the messages, the sermo ...
As the choir and the orchestra are finding their seats, I would like to take just a moment before getting into the sermon material to express a word of gratitude to all of you that have labored in small and large areas at this Feast of Tabernacles to make it the wonderful experience that it is. As M ...
The United States has been shocked from east to west and north to south. I don't think there is a state or a city or a village or a hamlet across this country that doesn't realize, by now, this autumn of 1979, that the collapse of the dollar is imminent, and that what we are beginning to see is ...
You know Mr. Antion was talking about our moving to Cleveland when I saw him last month in Pasadena, in September, and we were talking about the moving, of course he used to live in Akron for a number of years with his family and he said, Guy I really feel sorry for you moving to Cleveland and he sa ...
Certainly had very fine music at the Feast of Tabernacles and that certainly was, I think, a very, very fine appropriate song for this Festival. You know, I had a hard time getting charged up to prepare this sermon after I found out that only Carl Gusterson would be listening. Jim Chapman was very m ...
Good morning once again everybody; we're already halfway through the festival besides just over halfway through, we've completed 4 days already and today included we have 4 to go, so we're at the halfway mark. Things are going quite smoothly I feel. Where will you be a year from now, spiritual ...
You know, at the Feast of Tabernacles, I think probably every minister, before he has an opportunity to speak, kind of sits down and agonizes and says, "What shall I speak about? What might be helpful at the Feast of Tabernacles to give people some encouragement and uplift, to help them go home with ...
The little power of Bay Saint Louis took us about 30 minutes, and we had to wait then about 15 minutes. Then, this motorcade came by, and we were able to see and to hear, and to eventually shake the hand of the President of the United States, Gerald Ford. Now, that was quite a thrill. I don't mind ...
Good morning to all of you. Some of our people are staying in the Windsor side on the Windsor side of the Detroit River, and found out that some of the Canadian officials know a little bit about the Bible. One of our members was stopped and asked, "What is your citizenship?" He said, "I'm a citize ...
Speaking of bears, I hope you haven't run across any. I hear they are around here. That may be a warning to some of you who might make fun of my bald head and Mr. Reedy and so forth. There's a few chapters in the Bible that, if you hurt the victim, you might not want to make fun of us. It certai ...
Well brethren we are here of course at the Feast of Tabernacles we're in the midst of the fall festival season and it's a season that focuses our attention on the establishment of the Kingdom of God. On the time when the God of heaven will setup a kingdom that will never be removed and of course ...
Howdy, y'all, good morning to everybody. Had to let you know that there's another Southerner here; we can't let Roy Holladay hog the whole show. You all know Archie Bunker, don't you? There's Archie, Edith, Gloria, and Meathead. All In The Family. They were a successful TV series because t ...
All these lumps you get in your throat, the special music has been very, very inspiring. I determined that I was going to beat them up here though, before they blocked the entrance way, I need all the time I can get today. It sure is good to be up here, had to wait seven days to give this sermon jus ...
Greetings, brethren, all over the United States and Canada and Britain (and beside the mainland of the United States) in Alaska and in Hawaii. What a marvelous thing it is that we can all be together and that we have this wonderful setting here at the headquarters of God's Work. That is, the tempo ...
In Daniel chapter 7, I have a number of 1,000 verses which I hope will become 1,000 verses in your Bible if you haven't marked them that way yet. Maybe you can buy you a coloring pencil with red on one end and blue on the other and begin to mark some of the Holy Days and Sabbaths and various scrip ...
Well brethren this is the Feast of Tabernacles and again I might ask why are we here? This morning I would like to show you as never before, that is, by God's grace and by His power, energizing me I'd like to show you as never before what this Feast of Tabernacles pictures in the plan of God. An ...
[Message Starts at 0:35] So now shall we get into the message of the morning? And once again because the very purpose of these festivals is to bring us meat in due season, the very purpose is to remind us and renew in our minds every year, the plan of God, and each one of these festivals pictures on ...
Well, they designed a master plan; and they built the college according to that master plan. GOD ALMIGHTY didn't start to build what He is doing for this purpose until He had worked out a master plan for it. Now behind ALL was the supreme Mind of the Eternal God. We didn't come from a lifeless n ...
Good afternoon Brethren, certainly good to be here again at the Feast of Tabernacles in the Lake of the Ozark. I had the privilege of being here, I think it was 2 years ago, and at that time I got to speak at the Dells and finally in Big Sandy that same year, so certainly a privilege to be here once ...
Well good afternoon to everyone, well I guess it's morning, get my time here, that was certainly a beautiful song, and I know we all appreciated it. One thing I wanted to mention before starting the sermon is to again ask all of you to pray for the peace and the safety that we have here at the Fea ...
We do appreciate your presence here on this day, the fact that there has been this loyalty that takes up through the trials of the 1970's. I would like to mention a few things with respect to the 1970's. For they obviously do impinge of the meaning of this particular Holy Day which is not only t ...
Good to be with you here this morning, and thanks so many of you for coming the other night to the Bible Study. I think there was just a couple of thousand or maybe one thousand that were expected, but I believe we had over five thousand. The place was really crowded, so with that turnout, perhaps t ...
Aloha brethren, yea right, see Mr. Ames has been there or else somebody told him what to do in Hawaii whenever you say aloha to everyone, they always say it back, I'll do it again, it means hello, how are you, welcome, all of those things. Aloha brethren, [Aloha]. Now that's done where brethren ...
Very good to lookout and to see all of you here on this the last day of The Feast of Tabernacles, of course tomorrow, you'll all go home tonight, because of course tomorrow is yet another festival, the festival of The Last Great Day. Down through the centuries there have been many plans and attemp ...
I guess the chorale is mostly down and sitting down. It certainly is just a glorious day, a perfect Feast of Tabernacles Day. This time of the year and this part of the country can give us this glorious weather, and I certainly hope you're all enjoying the feast. At least the weather can't take ...
I certainly want to thank the festival choir and all of those who are participating in the special music. It's been absolutely excellent, and we really appreciate it. I don't know what's wrong with Texas, but I've got another announcement here this morning. This is an emergency. This pertain ...
Good morning everyone; good morning to you Mr. Armstrong as you listen there from your home, greetings to you from all of us in the Community Center. Certainly a beautiful morning, a beautiful theme to see all of you sitting here in this beautiful arena, I think this is one of the prettiest ones tha ...
Brethren I think all of us recognize that we are living in very momentous times, as I was saying last night things do seem to be speeding up and I mean that very sincerely. We had a number of years where there was not too many things happening, but now we do have a number of rather significant thing ...
Most of you, at least a lot of you, arrived at the feast site here by airplane, and my job entails many, many hours flying by airplane and I never cease to wonder at the panorama that you see from an airplane, particularly going into a huge city such as London itself, where you can see the sprawling ...
It's hard to realize that this is the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, and tomorrow is actually a completely new festival: the Last Great Day. You have been picturing the thousand years in which we will share with Jesus Christ, the rulership of this world, to try to restore all things back to ...
Well I just stopped by brethren this afternoon on my way back home on my latest trip around the world, I hadn't concluded the trip yet and by the way I stopped off also at six other Feast sites and I bring you greetings from all of the Feast sites on the Atlantic Coast and from Big Sandy, Texas an ...
Good morning; for me this is the greatest feast that I have ever been to, my 20th one and for me it is the greatest ever. I'm sure many of you feel the same way, the spirit is here of God and I just don't feel much of the spirit of the devil here in this room; we're very thankful for that. We ...
What do you want to be when you grow up? Now you might think, well I'll tune this guy out he's going to talk to the kids, not so. I'm going to talk to the kids yes, but I'm going talk to everybody who is here, who can hear my voice and understand what I am saying. Now when I put it that way ...
Well greetings everybody! This is the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, and let me ask as I used to ask year after year in times past, why are we here? Well let me say once again, as I have said so many times through the years, we are here to look forward into, and to as it were, enjoy a part o ...
Mr. Herbert Armstrong always asked the question, "Why are we here?" One guy over in Jekyll one year said, "Because you're not all there". I don't think that is the answer really. Why are we here? I want to ask one question though before I launch into the sermon, I've used enough filler time he ...
Good morning, everyone. It's a blessing and privilege to see so many brothers and sisters in Christ gathered together. I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel I just don't get any respect. It happened last year at the Ozark. I was given the privilege of a sermon opportunity down in the Fe ...
Since so many of you are new, I estimated perhaps a third at least from those who rose yesterday evening, a third of you have never been here before, some of you have been baptized with in the last year and have the opportunity perhaps only in the last month or two to read any articles explaining th ...
Everybody wants that blessing, and all too often, people are not willing to go in the direction that God has said that will produce the blessings. The world wants the blessing. The world isn't finding it because the world is going right away from it, going in the opposite direction, because the wo ...
Good to be back here with you, certainly enjoyed the special music, very beautiful selection, very well done. It's always one of the things that is so enjoyable at the Feast the opportunity to hear the music, the singing, that so much work goes into the preparation of. Well brethren we are here of ...
