"Seven Prophecies That Must Be Fulfilled Before Jesus Christ's Return"
The issue about the seven prophecies that must be fulfilled and bearing good fruit is the best magazine I've read in the last four years. You discussed two issues that were vague to me and dealt with them in clarity. I look forward to Jesus' coming again, but in the meantime I am wondering how I can help other Christians who are struggling.
-T.W., Australia
For about 2,000 years Christians have been longing for the return of Jesus Christ, seeing that many in the world suffer from poverty, disease and injustice. After being anointed with a costly oil, Jesus Himself said, "The poor you have with you always" (Matthew 26:11). Of course, we should be compassionate to those in need as we are able and have opportunity.
But helping can take many forms. Others appreciate it when caring people spend time with them. Good advice and true education are other ways in which people are aided and supported. The Good News magazine and related publications help provide readers with a sound basis for beginning a relationship with God, aiding them to handle life's pressures and challenges. Helping with getting the gospel to this world is another important way to assist others (see 1 Corinthians 15:58).
Thank you very much for this fountain of biblical knowledge you have made available to all people, and especially to me. I am so happy for the light you have projected in The Good News article "." For a long time I have tried to retrace the fate of the lost 10 tribes of Israel, but in vain. I would be glad to receive a more complete documentation on that subject.

Our free booklet The United States and Britain in Bible Prophecy has been mailed to you.
I have received copies of The Good News and find it excellent in all respects. I do find the statements regarding Ephraim and Manasseh, intimately associated with Great Britain and the United States respectively, a novel concept. However, with your help I intend to further explore the basis of your statements. Otherwise the magazine is well-written, timely and has encouraged me a great deal. I will be sending a donation to your ministry.
-D.R.M., Internet
Thank you for your open-minded approach. The free booklet will be of great help.
"The Coming European Superpower"
Some time ago I wrote to you because I was angry with the way you wrote about what's going on in Europe and the future of Europe. Now I see it all coming together as you said the Bible prophesied. So I was wrong and you were right.
-T.R., Internet
The Middle East in Bible Prophecy
I am reading through the booklet and I wanted to say thank you for putting it all in order. As a history major in college, it's overwhelming to try to study the whole world's history, but this booklet has really helped me to understand and put in order the history of the ancient-modern Middle East (and beyond).
-S.W., Internet
I have just finished reading . I am so excited by the things this booklet has explained. Now I want more booklets, the and anything else you can send me. I want you to know that I have not enjoyed reading anything, except the Bible, so much in such a long time.

Questions answered by free literature
I wish to thank you for all the free literature you have been sending over the past months. When I had a question in mind, especially when my prayers seem unanswered, I asked myself, Does God exist? And then I received your booklet Your literature has been answering all of my deepest questions.
-T.P., Guyana, South America
Readers from South Africa
My friend at work practically shows me every booklet that you send her. What fantastic booklets you have. I have two children and a husband who gives life orientation at a high school. Every time I have to make copies of things that are interesting in your booklets. Could you possibly sign me up for your literature as well? I really thought I understood everything about Christianity until I started reading your booklets.
-C.J., Wellington, South Africa
Your magazine is the only publication that I have ever looked forward to with so much anticipation, and the only one that I have ever so avidly devoured each issue from cover to cover. I am somewhat restricted by a debilitating spinal cord condition. Your magazine keeps me up to date and very much aware of what is happening in the world. Your publications and Web site, as well as your , have for the past year consistently addressed my thoughts and questions on the state of the world.
They have provided me with the material needed to fulfil my duty in bringing awareness and understanding, as well as hope, to people who are confused, afraid and depressed by the turmoil which seems to have taken over much of the world. Your articles are firmly grounded in the Bible. My understanding of the book of Revelation and the teachings about the Kingdom of God have grown tremendously through all the materials published by your Church. I have downloaded all of your booklets from your Web site and intend to read them all.
-S.H., South Africa
Bible Study Course
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your by which I have learned much. I know that I have much to learn yet. By the grace of God I pray I will. I have studied my mistakes and learned a lot from them. May the Lord continue to bless your work in teaching and spreading the good news.
-R.W., Northern Ireland
Attending church in America
I am so impressed with the latest Good News magazine and with the booklet Marriage and Family: The Missing Dimension. I had no idea that I would get so much out of this booklet. As usual with your publications, you fooled me. I saw my own upbringing for what it was-highly dysfunctional. Please keep the literature coming and please accept my contribution. Also please let me know the nearest congregation. I can certainly see the value of assembling together. I don't do too well trying to go it alone.
-S.K., Prescott, Arizona
We receive The Good News magazine and enjoy it. I am writing to ask if there is a local church near me. My family and I have been in the wilderness for two years. God has revealed so much to us in this time. We yearn to be with fellow believers who want to live as close as possible to God's instructions about His Holy Days. Is there any place near us? We live in a small town.
-P.W., Hermitage, Missouri
In the United States we normally send those who want to attend a United congregation the telephone number of the nearest pastor, who will be glad to inform them of the nearest congregations. It may also be helpful to request our free booklets The Church Jesus Built and This Is the United Church of God.
