Great Ministers of Our Movement – Charles Batzold
Many great men and women have been instrumental in the spreading of the Israel Truth, including many men of the cloth. Were they successful? Let’s examine some of their lives.
Brooks Alden
Brooks came to the message in 1991 and began writing for Thy Kingdom Come in 2001. His subjects are varied, although prophecy is his favourite. He is a former bank executive and businessman and is now a business consultant. He has authored several books and articles on the Israel Truth and is a regular speaker on the subject. He is co-editor of the magazine and has been a Board Member with the Association for a number of years. Brooks believes that more than any other time in the Christian era is it more important to sow the seeds of the Israel Truth and the Gospel of the Kingdom. He thinks that as in the days of Hosea, Israel today is being swallowed up and the future is dimmer and dimmer without the Lord Jesus Christ as our Beacon. As iot was with Hosea, we True Israel must reach that point where we will say, “Come, and let us return unto the Lord ……he will heal us … and he will bind us up.” All the signs suggest there is not much time.

Part 6 – The Sowing Years
One can only imagine the heartbreak of a farmer who has planted 2/300 acres of wheat, with the very best seed, only to find at harvest time that he is reaping less than two/three bushels an acre. He would obviously think of the vast outlay of money, time and resources that it took to end…

Part 5 – Our Identity Becomes Blurred
The Bible tells us in Genesis 48: 16 that the name of “Israel” was bequeathed to the two sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh. It was the ceremony where Jacob Israel placed Joseph’s sons above his two firstborn, Reuben and Simeon, and made Joseph the leading tribe of all Israel.

Part 4 – The Founding of the Association, August 2nd, 1909
“This is pure nonsense! We learn from Alma Hetherington’s book “70 Years Old” that this was the quick pronouncement by Professor Edward Odlum in 1889 concerning the Israel Truth. He was attending a small gathering of relatives and friends in Vancouver, after having returned from Tokyo where he had spent several years as principal of…

Part 3 – Not Everyone’s Blind
One of the most difficult aspects of the Israel Truth is to come face to face with the fact that our long-held view that the Jewish people are Israel is simply wrong. Initially there is even a bit of sorrow that the blindness has been removed from our eyes, as we think of our Jewish…

Part 2 – Marks of Identification
A great Bible scholar, Lt. Col. J.G. Wright, wrote a thesis over a half-century ago. In it, he recorded one hundred and ten Biblical references that could be used to identify true Israel.

Part 1 – Almighty God, The Great Gardener
Would God Almighty lie to us? I don’t think so! That’s why it seems so difficult to believe that most of us in Christendom today think that the Israelites of the Bible are just a small group of people spread around the world, who, by their own reckoning, number less that twenty million.

Editorial – Memories Shine!
When I was a young boy, word reached us that a neighbour friend of our family was killed in the closing days of World War II. Of course, he was just one of fifty million people who lost their lives at that catastrophic time and so, the sadness prevailing in our little home was also…

Has Judgement Come?
“He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch” (Proverbs 11: 28) I recall the stories my dear old Dad shared about the 1929 depression. One that sticks in my mind is how people would pass the window of the local butcher shop, look longingly at the sides…

Guilty as Charged!
Picture this! Seated in his perch high above the courtroom, the Judge barked out the command, “Bring in the Jury” and as the twelve men and women seat themselves;
