Who do you believe:
The Lord, or your church leaders?
The first letter to Christians who trust Jesus
rather than their church leaders.
This letter prepares you for hearing the greatest News the world has ever known.
The religious leaders and scholars—most of them anyway—have been hiding the News of the Second Advent from Christians for more than a century. Why? They say they want to protect their followers from false prophets. No, they are hiding from the believers the greatest and most joyous News the world has ever known!
Who do you believe? Your Lord or your priests and pastors? Please pay attention to these commands:
Test the spirits to see whether they are from God. I John 4:1 niv
Be always on the watch...that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.
Christ (Luke 21:36 niv)
Can you test a Spirit without knowing Him, without examining the evidence for His claim? What does “Watch!” mean? It means: Pay attention! Are you ready and willing to pay attention to the greatest News the world has ever known?
Many Christians lean on their pastors and priests to lead them to heaven. Is there a single verse in the Scripture that says “Delegate your judgment to your leaders”? That is precisely what the Jews have been asked to do by their rabbis. Christian leaders have been hiding the News of the Second Advent by remaining silent, by simply ignoring the News. This is the most effective strategy for hiding the truth.
This same strategy has worked for rabbis for 2000 years, and it will continue to work for them for ages to come. How did the rabbis conceal the truth? Either they remained silent, or when challenged, they told their followers: “Trust us! We know the true meaning of prophecies. If our Messiah comes, we will be the first to let you know! Don’t waste your time by listening to Christians. Jesus is a false prophet.”
Please ponder this question: Why is there a difference between synagogue leaders and church leaders? Do they not both make their living by being loyal to the status quo? One pastor in Saginaw, Michigan, who strayed slightly from hiding the truth, was forced to apologize and warned of the loss of his job! Would not a rabbi face the same dilemma, if on a given Saturday, he invited a Christian to his congregation and told them: “Listen to this Christian, and decide if Jesus is our Messiah!” Or if he said: “We have been wrong! Jesus is our true Messiah!”
What does this verse mean?
Many are called, but few chosen. Christ (Matt. 20:16)
Are you one of the majority who are called but ignore the call, or one of the minority who are chosen?
Will you follow the example of the Jews, or will you learn a lesson from their example? History always repeats itself. Once again, like the Jews, most Christians do not trust their own judgment. Are you like one of the Jews who ignored the call of Jesus? Will you follow someone else because he has taken more courses in Bible studies than you have? Is Bible studies the gate to heaven?
To prove it to yourself, try this experiment: Invite a Jewish layman to examine the News of the First Advent. What do you think he will say? Who will he trust? You or his rabbi? What do you think the rabbi will tell him? Why would the church leaders behave any different from Jewish leaders? Please offer one reason:
We invite you to depend on God and on your own judgment as your guide to heaven. Would not our Lord guide you and protect you from deception, from false prophets? Would you trust your priests and pastors more than your Lord?
Please ponder also this question: What is the difference between God-made and man-made? Is it hard to tell the difference? If you cannot tell the difference between a candle and the sun, you will also be unable to tell the difference between a Redeemer from God and a false prophet. Their difference is even more evident.
Notice what Jesus said to those who ignored or denied Him:
Whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. Christ (Matt. 1:33 nkj)
Do you think the rules have changed? Our Lord invites you to come and learn about the News of His return—the greatest and the most joyous News the world has ever known. What do you expect if you ignore His call, if you fail to pay attention to the News of His return? Will you not hear the previous response of rejection again?
To help you investigate the Greatest News, we have made it quite easy for you, as easy as touching your keyboard. What can you lose from knowledge?
May God bless you and
aid you in all your endeavors.

Who Do You Trust:
Your Lord or Your Church Leaders?
The second letter to Christians who trust their Lord,
not their church leaders—the ones who tell them
only “what their itching ears like to hear.”
The true beginning of wisdom is the desire to learn. Wisdom of Solomon 6:17 neb
Do you have “the desire to learn”? If you do, we have the most wonderful news for you. Just read one book, if it made sense, read a second, and if that book also made sense, read a third. The more you read, the more you will be convinced that our Lord has already returned—more than a century ago—precisely the way He predicted:
I shall come upon you like a thief... Christ (Revelation 3:3 neb)
Consider also this verse:
Through knowledge shall the just be delivered. Proverbs 11:9
Can anyone be delivered through ignorance? Our Redeemer has come! More than 99 percent of Christians have no idea that the Advent has already taken place. Who is to blame? Here is the reason:
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. II Timothy 4:3 niv
What do “itching ears” like to hear? This is the news they love more than any other: “Our Lord will come from the sky, take the true Christians to heaven, and leave the rest to suffer and die in misery!” The preceding is the message many church leaders have been preaching as the absolute truth. Are you willing to hear what “your itching ears” may not like to hear? If you are, start your search by taking one step, by reading only one book. Only then will you begin to know the truth.
Don’t let “scare tactics” such as “beware of false prophets” to scare you and prevent you from obeying this command, this simple and most logical rule:
Seek and ye shall find. Christ (Matt. 7:7)
Test the spirits to see whether they are from God. I John 4:1 niv
Scaring Jewish people from Jesus has been the strategy the rabbis have used successfully to hide the truth for 2000 years. “Let us reason together, saith the Lord” (Isaiah 1:18). Can you accuse someone with falsehood without giving him a hearing?
There is at least a hundred times more evidence than a true believer needs to be convinced that the Advent has already taken place. What can you lose from seeking and searching? Do you not trust our Lord’s promise that if you seek, you shall find? Can you find the truth if you decide not to seek? Are you willing to face the consequences of ignoring or denying your Lord? There is so much evidence, so much to read, but so little time! We know you are busy. Therefore, we will show you where to start your search and how to move forward.
Once again, compare yourself with a Jew who wants to know Jesus. First, he must overcome the obstacles; that is, misunderstandings promoted by rabbis. Only then will he be able to open his heart and soul to Jesus.
The First Stage of Your Search
The first step in your search is to overcome the obstacles that prevent you from being open to the News of the Second Advent. Can you see a beautiful garden from behind a wall? The widespread confusion and misunderstandings concerning the Second Advent will prevent you, like a wall, from seeing the most majestic array of evidence. Unless you remove this wall, you will be paralyzed. You will be unable to take even one step forward.
· What did Jesus mean by saying that “I shall come upon you like a thief!” If you want the proof that He literally meant what he said, read this book:
Will Jesus Come from the Sky or as a Thief?, 207 pages, posted on our website.
Teaching Christians that Jesus will come from the sky is identical with what rabbis told the Jews: “Our Messiah will come as a king.” This is the most formidable obstacle for many Christians. If you overcome this widely accepted illusion, you will be ready for the next book. In the course of 27 brief chapters, this book will convince you that coming “on the clouds” is symbolic, and “coming like a thief” is literal. Jesus literally meant what He said.
The next reference you should read is one of these booklets:
Mysteries of the Bible (39 pages)
Prophecy: The Obstacle that Prevents Many People from Knowing Their Redeemer (35 pages).
The preceding booklets will show you the widespread confusion concerning the prophecies of the Second Advent among Bible scholars and church leaders. The preceding three references will remove all the obstacles in your path, and give you the confidence to start the Second Stage of Your Search: Discovering the most conclusive and convincing proof that the Second Advent has already taken place.
The Second Stage of Your Search
Once the obstacles are removed, you are ready for the second stage of your search.
To compare the evidence for the two Advents, it is helpful to know how Jesus Himself proved His divine Mission in His First Advent, and not what many Christians are led to believe. This book, also posted on our website, will help you become more objective concerning the Second Advent. Reading it, however, is optional:
The Evidence for Jesus (91 pages).
After examining the preceding materials, you have several options. Choose the one you prefer:

The preceding three volumes respond to all your questions and offer more than a thousand biblical references to prove that the promise of the Second Advent has already been fulfilled. Only lack of faith in God’s promises would prevent you from examining such an overwhelming array of evidence presented in these three volumes. Why did Jesus ask this question:
But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? Luke 18:8 neb
Do you have enough faith in Jesus to examine the fulfillment of all the promises He made concerning His return?
· If you don’t have time to devote to a large book, start your search by reading one of these books:
The Glory of the Father, 329 pages, hard cover, $12.00. Shipping is free.
The preceding volume compares the two Advents and shows their remarkable similarities. If one is true, the other must also be true.

· If you do not want to borrow or buy the preceding books, read the following book posted on our website:
Christ Has Come!, 155 pages.
The preceding book responds to many basic questions you may wish to ask.
Thus, you have many options with no risk on your part. What can you lose from searching, except your lack of knowledge of the greatest and most joyous News the world has ever known? Listen to your God-given mind and your conscience, and not to scare tactics on the part of people who are fearful of taking one step forward beyond what everyone else does—believers who choose “the wide gate” over “the narrow gate” (Matt. 7:13-14). Once again remember this warning and this promise:
Many are called, but few chosen. Christ (Matt. 20:16)
You are one of many who are called. Will you allow your Lord to choose you, to become one of His chosen ones? All you need to do is take one step: read one book. Is examining one book too much to do for your everlasting destiny? Is there any risk in seeking knowledge?
May God bless you and aid
you in your search for truth
