Editorial – Purification of the Church, Part I

How to Be Among the 144,000, Part I
I want to look at how we can be among the 144,000. This is a very important topic for us to study because inspiration has told us that we should "strive with all the power that God has given us to be among the hundred and forty-four thousand."

Prophecy
The battle of Armageddon is soon to be fought. He on whose vesture is written the name, King of kings, and Lord of lords, is soon to lead forth the armies of heaven.
History

Food
Food for Life – Discard Flesh Meats
