Church of the Eternal God Announces New StandingWatch Program, Should Christians Keep Easter?

San Diego, CA. — March 12, 2015 — The StandingWatch program is produced as part of the task and commission of the Church of the Eternal God to shed light on common and harmful falsehoods integrated into our society, and warn mankind of impending disaster, while at the same time giving hope and comfort for the future.  The current program, “Should Christians Keep Easter?”, focuses on the truth behind the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and explores the real origins of Easter and its customs.

Many would be shocked if they were told that Easter was neither Christian, nor that it memorializes the death and resurrection of our Savior.  They would be surprised to hear that many Christians have believed over the centuries that Christ was neither crucified on a Friday, nor that He was resurrected on a Sunday.  They have even claimed that if He had been, He could not have been our Savior!

As Evangelist Norbert Link explained: “The only sign that Jesus Christ gave for His Messiahship, was that He would be dead and buried in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights, as noted in Matthew 12:38–40.  Christ was referring to 72 hours. The traditionally accepted period celebrated in Easter from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning simply does not add up.  By no stretch of the imagination could that constitute 72 hours.”

Many would also be surprised to learn where the modern name “Easter” originated, and most have probably never asked the question as to what egg-laying Easter rabbits and colored Easter eggs have to do with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Church of the Eternal God Announces Availability of Booklet, “When and How Will Christ Return?”

San Diego, CA. — February 26, 2015 — In light of biblical prophecy currently unfolding, the Church of the Eternal God has re-announced the availability of its latest booklet, “When and How Will Christ Return?”. This booklet is part of an ever-expanding library of informative material generated to help educate those seeking a deeper understanding of God’s Will. The booklet focuses on the conditions that point to Jesus Christ’s imminent return to establish the Kingdom of God on this earth.

These conditions include ever-increasing religious deception, wars, earthquakes, famines and disease epidemics – events which are described by Christ as the “beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:8). These signs will become more and more visible and frightening in the years to come, followed by even more traumatic events.

As Evangelist Norbert Link explained: “The commission of the Church is to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and fulfill the Work which Christ has given to His Church. In light of this, and the current landscape in which we find ourselves living, it’s vitally important to understand why today is different from the last two thousand years since Jesus’ death and resurrection, and the circumstances that will unfold before He returns. At the same time, we must take steps to prepare ourselves to be accounted worthy to escape the frightening events that are sure to take place.”

While no one knows the day or hour when Jesus Christ will return, as noted in Matthew 24:36, He does provide us with a blueprint of what to watch for in order to understand that the time is at hand. He described events in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, which would lead to His return. It is in that context that He added the following words: “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away” (Matthew 24:32-35). 

We are living in the last generation before Christ returns. Knowing this, it is therefore extremely important for us to watch and pray, and to be “ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an HOUR [we] do NOT expect” (Matthew 24:44).
