“Coming—Animal Sacrifices and the Third Temple,” is the title of our new StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Will the Jews begin soon to bring animal sacrifices and burnt offerings in Jerusalem? Will they build a Third Temple on the Temple Mount, prior to Christ’s return? According to the Bible, the answers to both questions are yes, as fully explained in our free booklet, “The Mysteries of the Book of Revelation.” But what will result from these activities? Do the Holy Scriptures and current events tell us what is going to happen in the not-too-distant future? Our weekly free Updates discuss this and other news in the light of biblical prophecies. The time for Christ’s return is truly at hand.

“Neu! Verliere Deine Krone Nicht!,” is the German sermon to be presented this coming Sabbath to the German audience. This is dealing with the possibility of losing our crown. Title in English: “Don’t Lose Your Crown!”

A new Global Trailer with Brian Gale was posted, titled, “Don’t Keep Christmas.”

A new Member Letter for the month of December has been written and will be mailed next week. In it, Dave Harris reminds us of the understanding and promises God has given to His faithful people in order for us to face the tumultuous events that are now signaling the end of this age.

Norbert and Johanna Link will travel to Germany on April 7th of next year. Plans are being made for counseling brethren as well as conducting services for Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread along with finalizing organizational arrangements for the Church in Germany. The Links will return to the US on May 5, 2014. Also, a new German Member Letter has been sent in which plans for the 2014 Feast of Tabernacles are announced. We will again keep the Feast (from October 8 until October 16, departure date October 17) at the same hotel in the Black Forest (Hotel Birkenhof, Freudenstadt) as we did in 2013.

“True Origin of Christmas Customs,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link—here is a summary:

Why do we sing Christmas carols? Why did the Catholic Church ban them in the past? Why do we exchange gifts on Christmas? Who is the real Santa Claus? Why do we use Christmas candles? What is the origin of the Christmas tree? What do pagan beliefs in tree spirits have to do with Christmas? Our free booklet, “Don’t Keep Christmas,” answers these and many more questions. It shows you what God, in His Bible, has to say about all of this.

“Demons On the Loose,” last week’s Sabbath sermon by Norbert Link, is now posted for viewing–here is a summary:

God did not create Satan and demons. And still, they exist! How is this possible? In what way do they influence man? What powers do they have? Could they affect and deceive you? Why is it so dangerous to dabble in the occult? How can we conquer demons?

“Die Herrschaft der Dämonen” is this week’s German sermon, and it covers much of the same material presented in Mr. Link’s sermon noted above. The title in English is, “The Rule of Demons.”

Pastor Rene Messier and his wife Delia will travel from British Columbia to visit brethren in Woodburn, Oregon. A potluck is planned following Sabbath Services.

Our new booklet, “Hidden Secrets in the Bible,” has entered the first review cycle. The booklet discusses Hebrew poetry; the significance of certain numbers and the book of psalms, and it includes several insert articles and charts.

“Iran’s Deal of the Century,” is the new StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

This week, an “historical deal” was struck between Iran and certain super powers. But how long will the “Geneva agreement” last? While some praise it as a tremendous success, the cautious voices are worth listening to. Is the deal the first step to make the world safer, or is it a further step towards its destruction?

We explain in our free booklet, “Middle Eastern and African Nations in Bible Prophecy” that Iran—biblical Elam—will be involved in a war against Israel; and that it will also form an alliance with Russia against Europe.

“Die Geheimnisvolle Offenbarung,” is the title of our new AufPostenStehen program in which we offer our new printed German booklet on the Book of Revelation. Title in English: “The Mysterious Revelation.”

“Falsche Anschuldigungen,” is the title of our new German sermon which will be presented this coming Sabbath. It is the German version of the English sermon on “False Accusations”–see below:

“False Accusations,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link is now posted. Here is a summary:

Are we guilty of wrongly accusing others or of judging prematurely, without having all the facts? Are we guilty of slander, libel or spreading lies? Are we opening ourselves up to demonic influence, as King Saul did, when he became angry with David and misjudged certain situations? If we just look at outward appearance and what is in front of our eyes, rely on hearsay or gossip on the Internet, or listen to false witnesses, we may make false accusations and become guilty of sin.

“Scientific Nonsense—Do You Believe It?,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Here are three examples of scientists who teach concepts of utter nonsense: Death is just an illusion; the world will end in February of 2014; and evolving human beings were placed on this earth by aliens. This program shows why ideas like these are in total opposition to God’s Word, and asks whether you know what the Bible says. Our free booklets, “The Theory of Evolution” and “The Authority of the Bible,” will help you to answer this important question.

“Eine Auferstehung für gottlose Sünder?,” is the title of this week’s German sermon. The title in English is, “A Resurrection for Wicked Sinners?”

“Why Abortion is Murder in God’s Eyes,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Does God tell us that abortion is premeditated murder, which inflicts excruciating pain and torture on the aborted innocent child? This program gives you the facts, but be warned-the information is not pleasant to hear. But if you are a woman and unsure about when life begins or whether abortion might be an option to terminate your pregnancy and the life of your child, you NEED to listen to this program.
 
Rene Messier has prepared a new SW Talking Points program dealing with the question: “Do We Have an Immortal Soul?”

Brian Gale has prepared a new SW Talking Points program addressing “The Mysteries of the Book of Revelation.”

This week’s German sermon, “Ärger, Zorn und Wut in der Bibel,” deals with anger and wrath–please note below for an English version of this important presentation.

Last Sabbath’s sermon, “Anger Management,” is now posted. Here is a summary of Mr. Link’s presentation:

Psychologists misunderstand the nature of anger and give oftentimes wrong advice as to how to deal with it. What does the Bible say about the causes of anger and wrath? Does God tell us very clearly how we are not to deal with anger; and how we can solve this devastating problem which could destroy us and others?

Plans have been finalized to conduct the 2014 Church Conference starting Friday, March 28th and continuing through Tuesday, April 1st. Following this Conference, Norbert and Johanna Link will leave for Germany–departing on or about April 7th and returning by the end of April or the beginning of May. Also, Brian and Jill Gale will stay following the Conference, and Mr. Gale will conduct Passover services in Ramona, California. Plans are for Rene and Delia Messier to be in Oregon for Passover and the beginning of Unleavened Bread.

A new StandingWatch program in High Definition was recorded by Norbert Link and posted this week, titled, “Why Will the Beast and the False Prophet Deceive the Masses?” The beast and the false prophet will deceive most people. How is this possible? This program explains the reasons, shows examples from recent history, and offers our free booklets, “Europe in Prophecy” and “The Great Tribulation.”

“Neu! Das Weltgericht, Teil 3,” is the new German sermon recorded this week in High Definition and to be played this coming Sabbath. The title in English is: “New! The World’s Judgment, Part 3.”

A new German AufPostenStehen program in High Definition was recorded by Norbert Link and posted this week, titled “Amerikas Spionage in Deutschland” The title in English would be: “American Spying in Germany.”

“Hope and Desire in Trials,” is the title of last week’s sermon given by Evangelist Norbert Link. This is now posted for viewing–here is a summary:

When we go through trials, do we have the faith and trust in God that He will carry us through; that He will give us the strength to endure the trial; and that He will give us the desires of our hearts? This sermon shows how we can have this confidence, and what God expects of us.

“Spying in Satan’s World,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

America’s habitual spying activities on friends and allies have caused an unprecedented worldwide uproar. Especially Europeans are up in arms. The blame game is continuing, misrepresentations and hypocrisy prevail, and the Germans have lost confidence in President Obama, who is perceived as having lied or being hopelessly ignorant in the matter, while some American politicians are defending NSA’s conduct. In this world, spying activities and falsehoods are one of Satan’s major devices. The Bible shows that just prior to Christ’s return, a war between Europe and the USA will break out, and wars start with words. We are in the preliminary stages of this development, leading to the Great Tribulation.

“Neu! Das Weltgericht,Teil 2,” is the new German sermon that has been recorded and will be presented this coming Sabbath. Title in English: “The World’s Judgment, Part 2.”

Our most recent booklet, “The Ten European Revivals of the Ancient Roman Empire,” has received several positive comments. Among these are the following:

“I read it with great interest. It is much appreciated.”

“I read your new booklet on the ‘Ten European Revivals’ and it must be the best I have ever seen on the subject. Congratulations on this effort to bring together so much overpowering information.”

Also, we received these encouraging comments about our StandingWatch programs:

“I appreciate very much the intelligent commentary of Mr. Link about the current events in the world. It is unique. It is a very good idea to introduce and conclude the program with a narrator. The music at the end of the program is spiritually inspiring. Keep up your essential work!”

“I watch the StandingWatch video with Norbert Link often and enjoy the information that he speak[s] about.”

We certainly appreciate hearing from those who read, listen to and view our materials!

“France in Prophecy,” is the title of our newest StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Does the Bible say anything about the future of France? Do current developments in France give us a clue as to what will happen next—including France’s restrictions of freedom of conscience; its immigration policy and deportation scandals; and its anger with the USA over NSA’s spying policies? 

“Neu! Das Weltgericht,” is the new German sermon to be presented this coming Sabbath. It is the first part and covers the Second Resurrection and Great White Throne Judgment. Title in English: “The World’s Judgment.”

A new StandingWatch Global Trailer  “Europe in Prophecy”  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inuMtNxz520&feature=youtu.be has been recorded by Pastor Brian Gale, which reviews our booklet on the topic.

A new Member Letter has been written, and this is from all of the ministry. We have reports from the US and Germany for the recent observance of the Feast of Tabernacles and Last Great Day. Special note is given to remind us of the tremendous job that is ahead of us in preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God as we look forward to the next year of God’s annual Holy Days. Also, with this letter, copies of our newest booklet, “The Ten European Revivals of the Ancient Roman Empire,” are also being mailed. 

“Neu! Jesus: ‘Ich bin Gott der HERR,’” is the title of this week’s new German sermon. The title in English is: “Jesus: ‘I am God the Lord.’” It discusses Jesus’ seven sayings of “I am…” in the gospel of John; His seven miracles in the gospel of John; and His last seven sayings on the cross.

“The Fall of the USA and the Rise of Germany,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The Bible predicted thousands of years ago that America would fall and Germany would rise just prior to Christ’s return. What we are seeing today is in direct fulfillment of these prophecies. American news articles speak of America’s decline and the end of US democracy; religious leaders speak of America’s sea of immorality; international politicians demand a de-Americanized world; and all major Internet organizations want to free themselves of the influence of the US. At the same time, foreign policy experts speak of German influence in Europe and the world and predict a new Holy Roman Empire under German leadership. All of this has been prophesied in your Bible. But how reliable are biblical prophecies? To be sure, please read our free booklet, “The Authority of the Bible.”

“Gottes Heilige Jahresfeste,” is the title of our most recent German booklet. This is a translation of our English booklet, “God’s Commanded Holy Days,”

In addition, a German member letter was sent out via email, including a translation of Norbert Link’s Editorial in this week’s Update.

Why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah? Many do not know the real reasons. And how does God’s punishment relate to us today—and especially to those who do know the truth of the Bible? The answer to these questions may be found in our recorded video sermon presented by Norbert Link and titled, “Today’s Sodom.”

Norbert Link’s video-recorded Feast sermon, titled, “Feast of Tabernacles 2013: How Zealous Are We?,” was posted on YouTube.

“America Is Politically Bankrupt,” is the title of one of two new Standingwatch programs presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The temporary shutdown of the American government is strongly condemned by the worldwide community. Many feel that America cannot be saved; that America’s democracy is falling; and that America is politically bankrupt. Sadly, the Bible agrees with this assessment. The ill-conceived Obamacare or “Affordable” Care Act and its terrible “implementation” is only one symptom, exemplifying the fact that promises of politicians cannot be relied on. It is high time that God the Father sends His Son Jesus Christ to our earth to make an end to man’s mismanagement and to restore the Kingdom of God and establish righteous rule on this planet.

“Timeline of Biblical Prophecy and Rome’s Ten Revivals,” is the title of the second StandingWatch program. Here is a summary:

What is going to happen in the future? Does the Bible give us an outline or time table of events, leading to the return of Jesus Christ, and beyond? What, if anything, do developments in Europe tell us? Will there be a final revival of the ancient Roman Empire? Our free booklets, “Biblical Prophecy—From Now Until Forever,” and “The Ten European Revivals of the Ancient Roman Empire” give you the startling and surprising answers. Copies of both booklets are waiting for you.

We posted the first SW presentation by Rene Messier for the Canadian audience, titled, “SW Talking Points: The Nature of God.”

“Warum Menschliches Leid?,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen presentation by Mr. Link. “Why Human Suffering?,” is the title in English. It promotes our newly printed German Booklet on Human Suffering.

Norbert Link’s video-recorded German sermon on the Day of Atonement, titled, “Jesus und Satan,” was posted on our German website (www.aufpostenstehen.de) and also on YouTube.

“Neu! Die Herrliche Welt des Millenniums,” is the title of the German sermon to be presented this Sabbath in Germany. In English, the title is, “The Beautiful World of the Millennium.”
