Letters From Our Readers

Readers of The Good News share their thoughts.

"A World Held Captive: Soon to Be Set Free!"

I am studying the article "A World Held Captive: Soon to Be Set Free!" and would like to thank you for this article in particular. Thank you for The Good News. I enclose a small donation towards the cost of these magazines. Could I renew my subscription and could you send me the booklet Is There Really a Devil?

-J.H., Somerton, England

I found the article "A World Held Captive" very interesting. I can't wait to read the publications I requested.

-Mrs. S.C., Salford, England

"Ezekiel's Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones: What Does It Mean?"

I read your Good News articles on the resurrections online a short while ago. They are extremely good and well-presented. We can all look forward not just to the first, but also the second resurrection with confidence. I love Ezekiel's message. Our loving God has plans for mankind, and one day we will all look back on [the fulfillment of] all of these plans. Through Christ we will experience life as He Himself does at this very moment.

-E.J., Rainham, England

The Good News

Please use the enclosed check to provide this wonderful magazine to others, as well as me. Even though frightening, this is the most intelligently written account about the Bible and our world today that I have ever read. Thanks so much for sharing the gospel so graciously.

-F.L., Ellabell, Georgia

Thank you very much for sending your magazines all the way to me in Belize. I really enjoy reading them, gaining tremendous knowledge. I fellowship with a group here in Belize, and we do observe the biblical festivals. I used to wonder if it was required. Reading about them in your magazine makes me understand how important they are. This information makes me stronger and helps me to realize how important it is to celebrate the Passover and the other feasts.

-S.S., Belize City, Belize

First I want to thank you for The Good News, which I receive. I enjoy and look forward to each one. One day I went into a bookstore and a man walked up to me and said, "I want to give you a card to fill out. You look like someone who would like to read the booklet advertised on it." I had never seen this man before, and I've never seen him since. God does work in strange ways. Now I also watch your TV program Beyond Today. We are surely living in the last days. Please sign me up for your other magazine, World News and Prophecy.

-J.W., Newburgh, Indiana

Beyond Today

I am so thrilled to be able to watch Beyond Today on TV. I especially like the program on the rapture because I personally know some people who are all caught up in the Left Behind books, and they really believe that's how it will happen. I pray every day that this great nation of ours would "seek the Lord while He may be found." Keep up the great work of proclaiming the gospel to all of us.

-A.B., Paris, Texas

What about the rapture?

After getting my July/August Good News, I was very interested in receiving any and all writings about the rapture. After reading my Bible and asking questions, it does seem that there is no rapture before Christ's second coming. Is this a true or false teaching? I trust your articles and would appreciate any written material you have on this subject.

-C.D., Plano, Texas

You are completely correct. There is no secret rapture before Christ's second coming. The biblical proof is presented in our free reprint article about the rapture. You may download it from our Web site at www.GNmagazine.org/reprints or request a free copy in print.

Properly understanding the New Covenant

I've been reading your essays on the Pauline letters in reference to the feast days, new moons, etc. At last an article that makes sense. I've been reading other Web sites addressing these issues and they make no sense at all. But yours is by far the most comprehensive, instructive and accurate interpretation of Paul's writings. I knew that Paul could not be nullifying the Mosaic law. I suspected he was addressing "man-made" doctrines-the very thing Christ criticized. My understanding of the Bible, especially the Pauline letters, is much enhanced by your research.

-S.S., Gloucester, Virginia

Thank you so much for sending those free booklets I requested. The New Covenant: Does It Abolish God's Law? is excellent. Its words ring true to me and make sense, not like other things I've read that just sound confusing. This book has a simplicity about it. I've been studying the law for a while now, trying to explain to people that Y'shua [Jesus] took the curse away, not the law itself.

Letters from around the world

I am very grateful for the monthly magazine that is coming to me free. I share each issue with others. It is a paper that can't be equaled. I would very much appreciate it if you could send me the free booklet The United States and Britain in Bible Prophecy. I thank you and wish you God's blessings.

-A.K., Manitoba

Thank you for the recent magazine you sent. I enjoy reading all the articles you publish. About six months ago I was experiencing a lack of faith, but after reading the articles I am once again on the road to recovery.

-L.B., Niagara Falls, Ontario

We are really blessed by reading your magazine. Your articles explain the end-time prophecies, which are often difficult to understand. Your magazine always tries to explain the prophecies in connection with current events. Your work in God's ministry is appreciated.

Reader from New Zealand

I saw "Free Literature" written in one of your booklets. I took you up on the offer and asked to receive Jesus Christ: The Real Story. I was shocked to discover some of the things Christ really said and what the Bible says about Him. I am an older woman who lives at home with my family. I am always reading my Bible, and when I read your booklets, I was so surprised to understand my Bible better. Even though I had read the same passages that you quote so many times, it was as though my eyes had been opened. I have always believed in the Sabbath and coming across your organization was a blessing. I would like to learn more about you.

-Reader from Fiji

Readers appreciate our booklets

I only wanted to say how much I have been enjoying your booklets. As so many of God's people are doing these days, I have been struggling to stay on the straight and narrow path of God's will and His commandments. Your booklets have comforted me, in that they have corrected and chastised me as well as enlightened and informed me. I know nothing of your denominational beliefs, but I believe I have received a witness that your booklets tell the truth as it really is. Thank you so much for being faithful to God.

-E.S., Argyle, Texas
