QUESTION:"I noticed the cover and the center-fold spread of the March Good News, and my reaction was 'there goes the salesman of God.' I don't think it proper to use the caption 'And You Shall Be Brought Before Kings,' because the original context was directed to incidents involving saints being brought into courts to testify for the reason of their faith when it is, or seems to be, contrary to government (civil edicts)." ANSWER: The practice of taking a phrase or sentence from the Bible or other literature for use as a "catchy" title is common practice in the world of literature and journalism. The caption on the cover of the March Good News was simply a title for the article in "Update" concerning Mr. Armstrong's visits to world leaders. It was not meant to imply fulfillment of the specific scripture (Matt. 10:16-18) which the context is describing (God's servants going before. kings in unfavorable circumstances). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
