Church of the Eternal God Announces Live Sermon Series Focusing on How to Understand Biblical Prophecy Unfolding in Europe

San Diego, CA. — May 26, 2015 — As prophetic events play out in Europe, the Church of the Eternal God announces a three-part live sermon series in June to help educate those that want to gain an understanding of the events happening now, and get insight into what lies ahead in the near future. The Bible clearly warns of events transpiring in continental Europe, which will quite negatively affect the USA and the UK, as well as the state of Israel, and this series will highlight those developments, explaining who and what the beast is, as well as the fallen woman riding the beast.

This three-part series, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link, will focus on the following: Part 1, June 13 – The Number of the Beast; Part 2, June 20 – The Mark of the Beast; and Part 3, June 27 – The Woman Riding the Beast. This series will clearly explain that the beast, as referenced beginning in Revelation 13:1, is an end-time military leader arising in Europe, as well as a political and military power tied to the ancient Roman Empire and its ten European revivals, as described in the book of Daniel. Those in attendance will learn that nine of these revivals have come and gone, and that we are observing the beginning of the tenth and final resurrection of the ancient Roman Empire in Europe right now, which will ultimately be under the leadership of a German or Austrian personality. We will also explain the true identity of the woman riding the beast.

We are told in Revelation 13:17 that the nations will accept the name of the beast and the number of his name, and no one will be able to buy or sell if he does not have the mark or the name of the beast. God warns us not to worship the beast and his image, and not to receive his mark on our forehead and on our hand (Revelation 14:9). Unfortunately, most people will be so deceived that they will actually worship the beast – who receives his power from Satan – all the while rejecting the true God and His Law.

In Revelation 17, we read that John sees a fallen woman who sits on a scarlet-colored beast with seven heads and ten horns. This woman is identified as “the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication” (Revelation 19:2). Who is this woman? Is it Islam, as many claim today, or is it the United States of America, riding or directing the last European revival of the ancient Roman Empire, as others believe? This series will show that none of this is correct, and it will reveal the true biblical teaching. This fallen woman will join forces with the beast power, and the beast will reward those who will observe the dictates of the woman, while persecuting those who won’t.

Evangelist Norbert Link explains, “We must focus on drawing very near to God so we can have the necessary strength to endure the upcoming challenges and persecution. We need to strive to better understand and keep God’s laws, and be faithful in accepting from God His sign which clearly identifies us as His people, while rejecting the ‘mark’ of the beast, which has been around for a very long time.”

One will need to have godly wisdom and understanding to know what is coming to pass, and to accurately identify the beast, calculate his number and reject his mark, and not to be deceived by the beast and the fallen woman.

A Vision

May 23, 2015May 24, 2015 by Kalon Mitchell

In life we come to points that are a little ambiguous at times. Which way do we go ? What path do we take? In order to have a firm understanding and direction, it requires us having a vision. Something that we can work towards. Something that inspires and drives us forward to accomplish great things. What is our vision today?

With so many news sources, and ways to find out information how can we know what is real? How do we process and sort through vast quantities of information and come away with anything tangible. How do we tie this in with the Bible and what we believe that it says about the future?

When someone asks us to trust them, what makes it so that we do trust that person? Is it a feeling, an action? Do we trust God? Can we trust Him with everything? Does our trust in God have anything to do with righteousness and offerings?

Setting Goals

March 27, 2015March 26, 2015 by Kalon Mitchell

During the year at work, we go through review cycles, looking at the goals we have created for ourselves. We also review the progress that we have made towards those goals, or maybe the lack thereof.

Goals are easy to put down on paper to say that A, B & C will be executed. But it is another thing to actually do the work that is needed to accomplish those goals. It is easy to have good intentions and to want to work towards something superior, but it is more difficult to carry out our intentions.

Why do people set goals? Maybe they do it for a job title or possibly a bonus. Maybe they want to broaden their skills. Maybe they love to receive praise or recognition. Whatever it is that one desires, there is one thing that is certain in setting and attaining a goal or multiple goals: Dedication of time, effort, will, common sense and tenacity. Even though it is easy to set goals, people oftentimes may give up, walk away or forget the goals because of the tough work that is involved.

What about us as Christians? What are our individual goals? Do we even have goals? What is it that we are trying to accomplish day in and day out? Or are we tired from the stress and the trials? Do we just wish for easiness?

Can we define for ourselves what we want to improve on in our Christian lives? What goals can we set, based upon what the Bible says? Here are some examples:

(1) This Passover time reminds us to remove sin from our lives, as we are removing physical leaven which symbolizes spiritual sin during the Days of Unleavened Bread (1 Corinthians 5:6-8).

(2) We should set the goal of doing all things with rejoicing (1 Thessalonians 5:18: “In EVERYTHING give thanks; for this is the WILL of God in Christ Jesus for you.”). It is God’s Will for us to give Him thanks for the good and the bad things that may happen to us. Truly, this is a very hard goal to work towards and accomplish.

(3) We are to be careful to maintain good works (Titus 3:8).

(4) We are to focus on the applications of the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. Is it our goal to manifest these character traits in our daily lives? Galatians 5:22-23 tells us: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love (for God and fellow man), joy (in living God’s Way of Life with all our heart), peace (which is something God bestows on us when we are obeying Him), longsuffering (or patience; no longer being worried about little things that we have no control over), kindness (in what we say, think or do), goodness (wanting only what is good, forsaking lusts and harmful pleasures), faithfulness (or faith, without which is impossible to please God, as faith is our catalyst), gentleness (unlike the people of this world, which is constantly warring and looking to destroy others because they have the heart of their father, Satan the Devil), self-control (an amazing trait that is only strengthened through training). Against such things there is no law.”

Of course, the most important goal we should set is this: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). When we make this our main goal, all the other goals will fall into place. God wants to see us prosper. He wants to pour His blessings upon us. How eager are we to pass God’s examination with flying colors, because we have set the right goals and stuck with them until the very end?

Church of the Eternal God Announces New StandingWatch Program, Should Christians Keep Easter?

San Diego, CA. — March 12, 2015 — The StandingWatch program is produced as part of the task and commission of the Church of the Eternal God to shed light on common and harmful falsehoods integrated into our society, and warn mankind of impending disaster, while at the same time giving hope and comfort for the future. The current program, “Should Christians Keep Easter?”, focuses on the truth behind the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and explores the real origins of Easter and its customs.

Many would be shocked if they were told that Easter was neither Christian, nor that it memorializes the death and resurrection of our Savior. They would be surprised to hear that many Christians have believed over the centuries that Christ was neither crucified on a Friday, nor that He was resurrected on a Sunday. They have even claimed that if He had been, He could not have been our Savior!

As Evangelist Norbert Link explained: “The only sign that Jesus Christ gave for His Messiahship, was that He would be dead and buried in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights, as noted in Matthew 12:38–40. Christ was referring to 72 hours. The traditionally accepted period celebrated in Easter from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning simply does not add up. By no stretch of the imagination could that constitute 72 hours.”

Many would also be surprised to learn where the modern name “Easter” originated, and most have probably never asked the question as to what egg-laying Easter rabbits and colored Easter eggs have to do with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Go to www.EternalGod.org to find answers to the question as to whether Christians ought to participate in Easter celebrations.

Press Release

Church of the Eternal God Announces Availability of Booklet, “When and How Will Christ Return?”

San Diego, CA. — February 26, 2015 — In light of biblical prophecy currently unfolding, the Church of the Eternal God has re-announced the availability of its latest booklet, “When and How Will Christ Return?”. This booklet is part of an ever-expanding library of informative material generated to help educate those seeking a deeper understanding of God’s Will. The booklet focuses on the conditions that point to Jesus Christ’s imminent return to establish the Kingdom of God on this earth.

These conditions include ever-increasing religious deception, wars, earthquakes, famines and disease epidemics – events which are described by Christ as the “beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:8). These signs will become more and more visible and frightening in the years to come, followed by even more traumatic events.

As Evangelist Norbert Link explained: “The commission of the Church is to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and fulfill the Work which Christ has given to His Church. In light of this, and the current landscape in which we find ourselves living, it’s vitally important to understand why today is different from the last two thousand years since Jesus’ death and resurrection, and the circumstances that will unfold before He returns. At the same time, we must take steps to prepare ourselves to be accounted worthy to escape the frightening events that are sure to take place.”

While no one knows the day or hour when Jesus Christ will return, as noted in Matthew 24:36, He does provide us with a blueprint of what to watch for in order to understand that the time is at hand. He described events in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, which would lead to His return. It is in that context that He added the following words: “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away” (Matthew 24:32-35).

We are living in the last generation before Christ returns. Knowing this, it is therefore extremely important for us to watch and pray, and to be “ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an HOUR [we] do NOT expect” (Matthew 24:44).
