Fred R. Coulter, Minister
July 14, 2005
Dear Brethren,
This past week—July 8 and 9—I traveled to Tulsa,
Oklahoma. We had an excellent turn out with 100
brethren coming for Sabbath Services. We are
including the sermon Today's Prophecy—the World, Israel and the
Church that I gave in the afternoon. We need to realize
that not only is God dealing with Israel and the
nations of the world; also He is dealing with
His Church. As we see prophecy in the world
continually taking place, we need to be alert
and continually watchful—not only the events in
the world but our spiritual lives as well.
The week leading up to the Sabbath July 9 was an
eventful week. The bombings in England and
hurricane Dennis roared through the Caribbean,
wreaking havoc in Haiti, Jamaica and Cuba. The
hurricane then headed toward the Gulf Coast of
Florida and Alabama—directly toward the same
areas that were hit by hurricane Ivan last year
just before the Feast of Tabernacles. After
hitting Cuba, it slowed down a bit, it then
blasted the USA with sustained winds of 120 mph.
When Dennis hit the Gulf Coast, the eye of the
storm barely missed Pensacola, Florida and
Mobile, Alabama. In the areas where Dennis hit,
they did not suffer quite as much damage as
expected because it moved through very quickly.
However, it dumped a lot of rain causing major
flooding in areas further north and east.
In Gulf Shores, before Dennis hit, it was
reported that there was still a great deal of
damage that had not yet been repaired as a
result of hurricane Ivan the year before. Ivan
wiped out some of the facilities that brethren
have stayed in for years and the owners are not
planning to rebuild. As you know, last year,
because of Ivan and the devastation it created,
we were forced to cancel the Feast of
Tabernacles in Foley, Alabama.
Considering these factors coupled with the fact
that the hurricane season this year has just
started, we will take a careful look at the
overall situation. The experts predict that
there will be more hurricanes than last year. So
far their predictions are correct. In fact, last
year they predicted that the hurricane season
this year would start early. It did! Hurricane
Dennis was the earliest that a hurricane has hit
the United States since 1871. As I write this
letter, there is another storm developing. It
appears that it may become a hurricane, as well.
When we consider all these factors, we may be
forced to cancel the Feast of Tabernacles in
Foley, Alabama again this year. We will let
everyone know if and when we have to make that
decision.
Calendar Material: In this mailing, we have also included two new
articles on the Calculated Hebrew Calendar by
Carl Franklin. They are entitled: Why the
Crucifixion of Christ Could Not Have Occurred in 31 AD and Ambassador College and Recent Digital Calculated Hebrew Calendar History. Carl wrote these articles because many brethren
have asked questions concerning the year of
Jesus' crucifixion: When did it occur, in 30 or
31 AD? Those who have the first two editions of
the harmony of the Gospels can see that in these
publications, I also had the crucifixion in 31
AD. Further research into the historical facts
and the Calculated Hebrew Calendar, we now can
conclude that there is no question Jesus was
crucified on the Passover day in 30 AD, and not
in 31 AD.
In the third edition of the Harmony of the
Gospels, and also in the New Testament, you will
find appendices showing these new historical and
true calendar facts corroborate beyond any doubt
that Jesus was born in 5 BC and was crucified in
30 AD. However, there is still a problem to this
day in many, if not most, churches of God. Still
there is the misconception and belief that Jesus
was crucified in 31 AD instead of the correct
year of 30 AD. These mistaken assumptions
concerning the Calculated Hebrew Calendar have
been causing problems for over 50 years. As you
will see, the problems arose because Dr. Herman
Hoeh made errors in his research. Together with
erroneous assumptions, and lack of thorough
research, he mistakenly declared that the
crucifixion occurred in 31 AD.
In these two articles Carl clarifies where Dr.
Hoeh missed the mark creating the false
assumptions that led to these errors. Before Dr.
Hoeh died, he admitted these errors. The
information contained in these articles, though
a little technical in some points is vitally
important and answers these lingering questions
once and for all. I am very happy that Carl has
written these papers. We will also add them to
the other calendar information that we have
accumulated on the Calculated Hebrew Calendar.
We need to always remember that God will lead us
into all the truth, if we truly seek the truth.
Revelation Series: We are working on the material that we need for
the Revelation Series. First, I need to finish a
short series on the Book of Daniel. While we
have many tapes on Revelation, we have nothing
on Daniel. However, a basic understanding of
Daniel is essential before a person can fully
understand Revelation. Daniel begins the
prophetic outline of future history; Revelation
then concludes the outline for the fulfillment
of those prophecies. As I do those sermons and
studies, we will mail them to you. When the
entire series is finished, you can order the
rest of the tapes. We will also have it online
so anyone can download them.
The Secrets of Halloween and the Other Occult
Holidays: When we first began this project, we were
going to make a booklet about Halloween. But the
more we became involved it, the more we began to
see and understand that all the holidays of the
world are connected. Halloween is actually the
beginning and ending of the occult year. All the
holidays are based it and on the solar year.
While it is taking longer than I anticipated, we
will have a complete book exposing the holidays
of this world as the occult holidays of Satan
the devil. The "Christianity" of this world is
completely wrapped up in the observance of these
days.
When you read this book you will understand why
the churches of this world teach that people
don't need the Old Testament. The reason is that
if they read and believed the Old Testament,
they would clearly recognize that God detests
and abhors these pagan, occult satanic holidays.
In fact, throughout the Old Testament God
condemns these days and practices as
abominations. Remember, it is mother "Babylon
the Great" who is the author of these
abominations and holidays that now masquerade as
"Christian" observances. When this book is
finished it will be a complete expose of all the
pagan holidays of this world. We are getting
close to finishing it. We will keep you posted.
We are nearly ready to make a second printing of
the third edition of the Harmony of the Gospels.
Also, we have been sending out so many of the
book, The Day Jesus the Christ Died that we will
need to order a third printing of it as well.
This means that we have sent out nearly 16,000
of the Day the Christ Jesus Died and over 22,000
of the Harmony of the Gospels. The New Testament
is also having a great impact on people.
Brethren, since we are sending you the two
articles on the Calculated Hebrew Calendar by
Carl, I have made this a short letter. Once
again thank you for your love, prayers and
continued support in serving the brethren and
reaching other people through our publications,
books, tapes, and Websites. May God continue to
bless you with His love, grace and mercy in
every thing.
With love in Christ Jesus,
Fred R. Coulter
FRC
