Sermon: Mario Hernandez, “Pride and Humility”, July 1999, Los Angeles, CA.

The Aleppo Codex (Jeremiah 10:21-11:8)

Thanks to Kivsah and to DougY the owner of the site involved for pointing me to this audio sermon by Mr. Mario Hernandez, who is now an evangelist in the Living Church of God.

I think the Hebrew text to the left (in its subject matter) happens to fit very nicely with the title of the sermon. Here are the verses that I had in mind:

(Jeremiah 10:23 HOT) ידעתי יהוה כי לא לאדם דרכו לא־לאישׁ הלך והכין את־צעדו׃
(Jeremiah 10:24 HOT) יסרני יהוה אך־במשׁפט אל־באפך פן־תמעטני׃
(Jeremiah 10:25 HOT) שׁפך חמתך על־הגוים אשׁר לא־ידעוך ועל משׁפחות אשׁר בשׁמך לא קראו כי־אכלו את־יעקב ואכלהו ויכלהו ואת־נוהו השׁמו׃

(Jeremiah 10:23 RSV)  I know, O LORD, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
(Jeremiah 10:24 RSV)  Correct me, O LORD, but in just measure; not in thy anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
(Jeremiah 10:25 RSV)  Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the peoples that call not on thy name; for they have devoured Jacob; they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.

Repost: Herbert W. Armstrong and the “Whole, Pure Gospel”

I have Mr. Wallace Smith (above: one of the presenters on the broadcast Tomorrow’s World) to thank for this truly “massive missive”, Herbert W. Armstrong and the “Whole, Pure Gospel”. I have never seen him write this much in his blog on any subject whatever, which means he is truly impassioned about it! (And so I will let him speak for himself on it.)

RADIO CHURCH OF GOD & HERBERT W ARMSTRONG – HISTORICAL TRAIL

Ark Model 02 (HWA)

I received an e-mail today from Craig White on a Web page he’s developing, including photographs of items owned by the late Herbert W. Armstrong. One of them is a model of the Ark of the Covenant (left) of the kind that’s sold in Bethlehem. I have one too, but this one also has jewelry fashioned to represent the Ten Commandments, the pot of manna and Aaron’s rod that budded, all kept inside of the Ark.

Somewhat modified for summary purposes, here is the text that Craig mailed to me and others:

Greetings,

I recently took photographs of HWA’s model aircraft and special bounded books he authored and uploaded them here. (…) These items were procured by a friend. The model plane was sold on EBay by a WCG executive that despised HWA! (…) The entire historical trail that I am developing may be found here. (…)

So far it looks to be an excellent resource!

The Music of the Bible Revealed: Psalms 150

It’s taken me a long time indeed to get this video created, and much longer than I would’ve liked to get back to creating videos of this sort. But being squeezed between work requirements and health issues as I increasingly am, I realized that I can do just two basic things: my work as a consultant for the Living Church of God, and my work in preserving and promoting The Music of the Bible Revealed – which includes making videos like these.
