| Tomorrow’s World: Its Patron and Purpose | 01 May 2025 | 00:25:39 | |
Gerald Weston — TVCA1403 — Many viewers of Tomorrow’s World have asked if there is a Church that sponsors the Tomorrow’s World Telecast, Magazine and booklets as well as how the free literature is paid for. Mr. Gerald Weston introduces the Living Church of God, sponsor of the Tomorrow’s World program. | |||
| God Still Heals Today! | 14 Apr 2025 | 00:28:26 | |
Heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and a multitude of other maladies plague our modern world. Why? And what can you personally do about it? Sadly, many of you watching this program, are afflicted with chronic medical issues from which you are suffering – perhaps for years. A television ad for a new drug shows happy vibrant actors, giving great promise, yet telling you in a pleasant voice all the side effects that may create greater problems. Then comes the next ad from a law firm looking for victims of the side effects to sue big pharma over their last miracle potion. Is there not a better way?
The Bible tells us that healing was a major part of Jesus’ ministry. People flocked to Him to be relieved of every kind of sickness and infirmity. So, here are some serious questions. Were those accounts, genuine miracles? Or were they made-up stories? Did Jesus and His apostles really bring about such miracles? Do you, dear friends, believe those accounts of the blind, the lame, and the deaf being healed to see, walk, and hear – in some cases for the first time in their lives? Can these biblical accounts be relied upon? And if not, what else can you discard from the pages of the Bible?
On today’s program, I’m going to show you that you too can be healed by the same One who performed such mighty miracles nearly 2000 years ago. Stay with me as I have good news for you! | |||
| Three Biblical Keys to Better Health | 20 Mar 2025 | 00:28:26 | |
The cost of health care has been rising worldwide. People all over the world are feeling the pinch.
And out of all the countries around the world, Americans spend the most on healthcare. According to US government data:
“U.S. health care spending grew 7.5 percent in 2023, reaching $4.9 trillion or $14,570 per person. As a share of the nation's Gross Domestic Product, health spending accounted for 17.6 percent.”
But what if I told you there are things you can do, at no cost, that can have an over-sized impact on your health?
Is it too good to be true?
Ok, let me re-phrase that. There is a cost. There is always a cost. But the costs I’m talking about are not dollars, pounds or euros, but small changes in your life. They take a little bit of time and effort. And they come out of the pages of the Bible. But they carry no hit to your wallet or pocketbook.
So, join us today on Tomorrow’s World, as we unlock “Three Biblical Keys to Better Health.” | |||
| The Divine Purposes of Family | 18 Mar 2025 | 00:28:26 | |
The family has been neglected, twisted, and redefined by social engineers until the word “family” has lost all meaning.
But family is not just some sort of social structure that naturally evolved in mankind’s development, nor is it an invention of cultures that might differ from place to place.
Rather, family is a creation of the invisible God, designed for His divine purposes. And understanding His purposes for the family can help us in fulfilling His divine purpose for us. | |||

Stay tuned, as I’ll be back in five seconds to give you four impossible to dispute reasons why the Bible is a book for today. | |||
| Break Free from Depression | 27 Feb 2025 | 00:25:56 | |
Stuart Wachowicz - TVCA1314 - Depression has become one of the fastest growing health concerns of our age. This program discusses common contributors to depression and some strategies for successfully overcoming such challenges. We look at biological and non-biological factors and discuss some of the current social trends which are known to be associated with higher than normal rates of depressive episodes. | |||
| Finding True Christianity | 24 Feb 2025 | 00:28:26 | |
As our world spirals into chaos, many are beginning to seek the stability, reassurance, and peace of mind they rightly believe the word of God and Christianity can bring.
But it doesn’t take much searching to realize that Christianity, itself, is a confusing and chaotic mess of competing beliefs, practices, and organizations.
Yet Jesus Christ never meant it to be so. And the true faith established by the Son of God 2,000 years ago IS worth finding amidst the cacophony of counterfeits claiming today to be the real thing.
Join us right now on Tomorrow’s World as we show you how to find TRUE Christianity. | |||
| Why Suffering Exists | 06 Feb 2025 | 00:23:14 | |
Gerald Weston - TVCA1312 - If there is a Creator who made the earth and designed mankind, and that Creator is good and loves His Creation, then why is it that bad things happen? Why does God allow suffering to exist in this world? | |||
| Unlocking the Mystery of Revelation | 01 Feb 2025 | 00:23:57 | |
Presenter: Gerald Weston - TVCA1313 - For millennia, the Book of Revelation has captivated the imagination of just about everyone who reads it. Filled with symbolism and prophetic passages, many have tried to understand the mysteries contained in the final book of the Bible. These mysteries can be unlocked by using keys to understand found in scripture. | |||
| Three Questions About the Christian Passover | 30 Jan 2025 | 00:28:27 | |
What is the Christian Passover? Is it possible for there to be a Christian Passover? Or, is that a contradiction? Most people think, Jews keep Passover, Christians keep Easter. Case closed. No further discussion. But there IS such a thing as a Christian Passover. And that is revealed in the pages of the Bible. If you are surprised by that, then stick with us, as we explore what the Bible really says about this vitally important topic.
And be sure to get a pen and paper because later on in the program, you'll have the chance to request your free copy of THE HOLY DAYS: GOD'S MASTER PLAN. | |||
| Is What You Believe About God True? | 30 Jan 2025 | 00:28:25 | |
Our world is home to major religions with a multitude of factions within them. Christianity is the most diverse, with various forms of Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant, and within each, especially Protestant, there are a plethora of differing denominations.
The next largest belief system is Islam, with Shia and Sunni factions. Then we have Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Sikhism, Atheism, and more. Many people openly confess they have their own personally devised faith. Spiritual, but not religious, is a common refrain today. It’s impossible to accurately number the never-ending proliferation of belief systems in a world of over eight billion human beings.
For any thinking person, no matter what his faith, a question must arise: How do I know that what I believe is true? After all, doesn’t everyone think that what he or she believes is true? But how can this be when we all believe something different? Can we all be right? This is not a question from which we should shrink. If there is a God, does He accept any and all forms of belief systems? Can we dictate to Him that which He must accept? Think about it my friends.
On this Tomorrow’s World program, I’m asking the question, “Is what you believe about God true?” And I’ll be offering you our free booklet, The Bible: Fact or Fiction, so be sure to have writing material available to take down our contact information. | |||
| The Millennial Rest for Humanity—and You | 30 Jan 2025 | 00:28:25 | |
Does your world seem out of control? This is an age of high-tech and hyper connectivity. And yet, it seems we sometimes go faster and faster, but get further and further behind. Information comes at us from all directions, at ever-increasing speeds. We are continually amazed by ever-more powerful communication tools. And yet for many people, it seems like relationships are fracturing more than ever. We try desperately to keep up at work and at home, but we seem to be drowning in a growing stack of tasks and chores. Everyone is going in different directions. Nerves are frayed, and there seems to never be enough time.
Does it feel like humanity needs a rest? Does it seem like we need a rest? I think most of us would say Yes. The good news is the Bible speaks of a time to come that is just that. A rest. It's prophesied in your Bible. And it's going to benefit everyone when that beautiful time comes.
But you don’t have to wait for a better world. You can experience the peace and tranquility and yes, rest, of a life guided by God right now. And you can be a part of God’s plan to bring those blessings to the world. How?
We’re going to talk about that on today’s program. But before we do, be sure to get a pen and paper, because later in the program you’ll have a chance to order your free copy of our study guide, “The World Ahead: What Will it Be Like?”
So, join us today on Tomorrow’s World, as we discuss the Millennial Rest – for the world, and for you… | |||
| The Purpose For Your Life | 17 Jan 2025 | 00:23:14 | |
| The Church Behind Tomorrow's World | 15 Jan 2025 | 00:28:25 | |
Many viewers wonder: Who is behind these Tomorrow’s World telecasts? The most obvious answer is found in what we say at the end of each program: We are sponsored by the Living Church of God. But that brings up another question: Who or what is the Living Church of God?
On this Tomorrow’s World telecast I’ll be answering this question. I’ll show you who we are, what our mission is, and what we believe. I’ll also be offering to you a free publication – Restoring Original Christianity – so be sure to have writing material available so you can take down our contact information. As with everything that we offer, this resource is given away free for the asking. Members and coworkers of the Living Church of God have already paid for it, and I’ll explain on this program why it is that everything we have is distributed free of charge. | |||
| The End of Satan’s Rule | 02 Jan 2025 | 00:28:25 | |
Our world today is not the world God wants it to be. One of the reasons, which will surprise many, is that our planet, its governments, and its peoples, are all under living under the weight of Satan’s rule. From the beginning of mankind’s existence to today, human history is the written record of what it means to live under the rule of the devil.
Yet that rule is coming to an end! And what a difference that will make!
Join us here on Tomorrow’s World as we dive into God’s word and see the coming end of Satan’s rule! | |||
| Four Questions About Baptism | 02 Jan 2025 | 00:28:26 | |
Is baptism required for salvation? Is baptism only by immersion, or is sprinkling or pouring ok? Who should do the baptizing? And what is the purpose of baptism in the first place?
These are just a few of the many questions surrounding baptism. Some see it as a required ritual. Others as blatant legalism. Some say baptism should be in the name of Jesus only. Others, that it should be in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Some baptize infants, while others say no, candidates must be adults.
Is there a way to sort through the confusion? Can you understand the topic of baptism and the real meaning behind it?
The answer is yes. And today, on Tomorrow’s World, we’re going to dive into this subject, and find out what the Bible says about this important topic. We need to know how to separate mere tradition from the truth.
Be sure to get a pen and paper, because later in the program I’ll give you an opportunity to request your free copy of our study guide, “Christian Baptism: Its Real Meaning.”
So, join us today on Tomorrow’s World, as we ask and answer “Seven Questions About Baptism.” | |||
| The Truth About Natural Disasters | 13 Dec 2024 | 00:23:30 | |
Gerald E. Weston - TVCA1310 We live on a dynamic and beautiful planet. But it can also be deadly. We’re intrigued, and sometimes frightened, when huge thunder and lightning storms pass over us, occasionally accompanied by tornados and powerful straight-line winds. Forest fires ravage thousands of square kilometers of woodlands, sending waves of smoke across whole continents. Volcanic eruptions are beautiful and awe inspiring, but they can be destructive and deadly. Hurricanes rip apart homes and disrupt lives, as do floods and earthquakes. How do we make sense of such a dynamic planet? If God is a loving God how do we explain so-called, natural disasters? Why does He allow disruption, destruction, and desolation--often resulting in sorrow? | |||
| 2025 in Bible Prophecy | 09 Dec 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
Welcome to Tomorrow’s World. The United States elected Donald Trump to be its President in a landslide victory. Many see Mr. Trump as a messiah figure, a savior of the country that has gone astray. What might we expect over the next four years? It would do us well to remember two biblical proverbs.
A man's heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps. (Proverbs 16:9)
Yes, a man may have his own agenda, but that is not always the way his future turns out. Often a leader is remembered not for what he planned, but for how he handled circumstances out of his control. This is further spelled out in Proverbs 19:21.
There are many plans in a man's heart, Nevertheless the LORD's counsel—that will stand. (Proverbs 19:21)
About 75 percent of Americans believed that the country is going in the wrong direction, and that was reflected in the outcome of the election. So what can American and citizens of this world expect for 2025 and the years following? Can we know?
There are many prognosticators predicting what’s ahead for the coming year and beyond. Some base their predictions on their understanding of geopolitics. Others look into crystal balls. Some claim a spook in the night revealed the future to them. And of course, there is Nostradamus, but a close look at his predictions, and that of other famous psychics, shows that they are vague and are more backward-looking interpretations by his fervent followers than true predictions. For example:
Some enthusiasts say his mention of "the great man will be struck down in the day by a thunderbolt" refers to the moon landing a significant milestone in human achievement.… People find it easy to understand humans reaching for the stars; therefore, fans love to talk about this. 5 predictions of Nostradamus that are believed to have come true
Then there are wild interpretations of biblical scriptures. Yet, it is from this very source – the book known as the Bible – that we here at Tomorrow’s World turn to know the future course of our world. On this program, I’ll give you three trends to watch in 2025 and beyond – straight from the pages of the Bible. I’ll also be offering you an absolutely free resource titled – The Middle East in Prophecy -- that expounds in detail one trend to watch, so stay tuned as I’ll be back in five seconds. | |||
| Christmas Surprises | 26 Nov 2024 | 00:28:26 | |
Christmas morning. It’s the highlight of the year for many children in the Western world. They leap out of bed to discover what Santa brought them this year. They bound down the stairs, eager with anticipation, imagining what new toys may be awaiting them. And then, they see them. Under the Christmas tree, there they are: neatly stacked presents covered in red and green wrapping, awaiting the children’s discovery of what’s inside.
What could be more exciting than this yearly Christmas ritual?
Everyone loves a surprise. And children all over the Western world look forward to this thrilling moment on Christmas Day: The long-awaited instant when the presents are opened.
But does the Christmas-present opening ceremony live up to its billing? Do the presents really fulfill the wishes and dreams of those boys and girls? Or, after a few minutes or hours of playing with a new game or doll, does the newness wear off? Or, is the disappointment immediate, when an expected electronic game turns out to be pens or pencils? Sadly, all too often, the anticipation of the gift is greater than the real thing.
Think about it, though. Isn’t Christmas in general, sort of like a disappointing gift? It’s bright, colorful, attractive, and beckoning. But when you open it up, what’s inside? Is it what you hoped for?
Let’s answer that question today on Tomorrow’s World, as we unpack the truth about this popular holiday. And get ready, because I’m going to give you an opportunity to request our free study guide offered today, Is Christmas Christian? | |||
| Is There Life After Death? | 20 Nov 2024 | 00:21:39 | |
Gerald Weston - TVCA1311
There are many who claim to know what lies beyond the grave. Few really understand that the Bible truly teaches on this topic. You need to know if there is life after death? And if so, what does that life look like? | |||
| The Coming Wars for the Middle East | 20 Nov 2024 | 00:26:07 | |
Michael Heykoop - TVCA1309
The Middle East is in constant turmoil. Will Iran, Turkey or Saudi Arabia come to control this important region? The Bible predicts two future wars for control of the Middle East. | |||
| Where Do the Unsaved Go When They Die? | 12 Nov 2024 | 00:28:26 | |
A cold hard fact of life is that the vast majority of humanity has lived and died without ever accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior--in fact, most of them without ever hearing His name spoken aloud. For many, this fact is more than a statistic, as they agonize with concerns about a dead loved one, unsure of their fate in the hereafter.
Yet the true answer concerning the fate of the unsaved is far more joyous and hopeful than almost anyone understands!
You need the hope of your Bible’s answer to the question of where the unsaved go when they die! | |||
| Is Christianity Dangerous? | 12 Nov 2024 | 00:28:27 | |
Is Christianity dangerous? Even the question sounds absurd. After all, Christianity is about loving your neighbor, turning the other cheek, and showing mercy to your enemies. How could that be dangerous?
And yet, in the last few years, there is a growing narrative that the western Christian traditions are not healthy for society. If you have lived more than a few decades, you’ve noticed this radical shift. And it has been shocking. After all, if Jesus taught mercy and love and consideration for our neighbors, how did Christianity turn into the enemy?
According to this narrative, Christianity is not inclusive. Christianity is not compassionate. Christianity is not keeping up with the times, nor is it on the “right side of history.” The list goes on and on. And yet, Christian and biblical traditions have formed the backbone of much of Western civilization. So, what’s going on?
Cultural shifts don’t happen overnight, and they don’t happen in a vacuum. There are reasons for the dramatic changes we’ve seen in society. And there is a reason why hating Christianity has become the latest fad.
So, what are we supposed to think of this trend? Why is it happening? And more importantly, what can we do? You might be surprised by the answers. | |||
| You Need Bible Prophecy! | 05 Nov 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
The Christian Bible holds the Guinness World Record of best-selling book in the world (“Best-selling book,” GuinessWorldRecords.com). Many homes in the Western world have at least one Bible on their bookshelves, and many of them have more than one. But how many people actually read them?
And even of those who do, how many read BIBLE PROPHECY?
Prophecy makes up a quarter of God’s revealed word, yet for many it is the most neglected part of Scripture!
My friends, we don’t want you to fall into that trap! Because God wants you to dive into the prophecies He inspired to be recorded for you to understand. | |||
| Humanity's Last Hope | 30 Oct 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
It’s human nature to desire to make your voice heard, and democracy in one form or another is ingrained in us from an early age. Some candidates are elected to keep the country out of war, yet often end up in war. Whether it’s a country ruled by a king, a dictator, or an elected official, events outside of their control often define their rule.
The United States is a Democratic Republic, where citizens cherish their voice in choosing their leaders. On November 19, 1863, former United States President Abraham Lincoln spoke these famous words in the aftermath of the American Civil War Battle at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
Yes, government of the people, by the people, for the people is taken for granted as the way government should be, and although other nations may not use the same words, government by the people is in the hearts of many. But is there a better way? Not only IS there a better way, that better way is just around the corner. | |||
| Will You Be Raptured? | 11 Oct 2024 | 00:21:12 | |
Gerald Weston - TVCA1305
There is a popular myth that the second coming of Jesus Christ could happen at any time, even tonight. But this is a false doctrine that is contrary to scripture. A similar doctrine teaches that Christians will be whisked away to heaven in a sudden rapture as a way to escape the prophetic times ahead. How can so many be confused on this topic? What does the Bible really say? | |||
| The Balfour Declaration: God’s Instrument | 10 Oct 2024 | 00:25:33 | |
Stuart Wachowicz - TVCA1308
During the height of World War 1, a remarkable announcement was made in London, which changed the course of history for the Jewish people. This Balfour Declaration served as an instrument of God, helping to ensure that there would be a Jewish state in the Middle East as the times of the end approach. | |||
| Coming to a City Near You | 08 Oct 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
Jesus told His disciples, “You will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.” That’s in Matthew 10:23. In other words, they had a mission. They were to preach the gospel to the cities of Israel.
But where were those cities? Many assume He was talking about the cities of the Jews. And certainly, they did go to those cities in His day. But what about after His death and resurrection? Where did they go? The apostles took the Gospel message to the Israelites where they had been scattered after the Assyrian captivity of 721 BC. And ultimately, that same Gospel was taken to regions all over the known world. As Christ commanded.
Notice what He said, in Matthew 28, verses 18–20:
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
So, the Gospel message was made available to Israelites and non-Israelites. But did you notice something? Jesus also said, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Did the preaching of the Gospel message stop with the death of the apostles? Or would it be preached in the time just before Christ’s return?
On today’s program, let’s answer that question. And at the same time, I want to give you a behind-the-scenes look at how Tomorrow’s World is striving to fulfill that very mission. In particular, I want to focus on live, in-person special events we call Tomorrow’s World presentations. And later in the program I’ll give you an opportunity to request the free study guide we’re offering today, Where is God’s true Church?
So, join us today on Tomorrow’s World, as we discuss the commission Christ gave to His Church, and how you can be a part of it. | |||
| When You Die – Then What? | 19 Sep 2024 | 00:28:26 | |
Life is wonderful when we are healthy and all is going well. Under such circumstances we want it to go on forever, but our bodies don’t last. They break down and eventually, life in this flesh comes to an end. Then what? Many believe we have an immortal soul that immediately goes to heaven, or descends into a place of eternal torment. Ministers teach this to their congregations and parents teach this to their children. But is that what the Bible tells us about what happens when we die?
There is no more important question than -- “When you die, then what?” Can you know? And where can you go for the answer?
Science offers no answers. Philosophers speculate and disagree with one another. Some eastern religions teach reincarnation but have no proof. Only the Bible gives a credible answer, but it is not the one most think it is.
You need to know for sure. On today’s program we will look at what the Bible actually says about life after death. Also, on today’s program I’ll be offering a free resource that gives additional information on this subject. Be sure to have writing material available to take down our contact information to receive a free copy of What Happens When You Die? | |||
| Richard Ames: Turning Many to Righteousness | 19 Sep 2024 | 00:28:27 | |
One of the greatest mysteries of life is the question, what
are human beings doing here on earth, what is their purpose in life. What is the purpose and meaning of your life? Do you know what you'll be doing for all eternity? Do you know what lies ahead in your ultimate future? The answers will surprise you, maybe even astound you. | |||
| The Problem of Evil | 29 Aug 2024 | 00:28:26 | |
Our world is filled with evil and suffering. How do we reconcile that evil and suffering with the fact that God, Creator of the world, is good and loving? Philosophers have wrestled with this “problem of evil” for centuries. But God reveals the answer to the problem--the reason for evil and suffering in the world--in the pages of His word. And that answer is, perhaps, the greatest source of hope the human mind is capable of understanding.
You need that hope.
Join us right now on Tomorrow’s World where we will give you God’s answer to the Problem of Evil. | |||
| Who Will Win the Battle of Armageddon? | 27 Aug 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
The word “Armageddon” is often used to describe earth-destroying dangers. This March 2024 edition of Astronomy magazine features this cover Headline:
“COSMIC CATASTROPHES, How the Universe threatens life on earth,” p. 18, “The Universe is a terrifying place, filled with existential threats. Earth may seem quite solid beneath our feet, but the continued existence of the thin layers of rock, water, and air that sustain us is in no way guaranteed. Errant asteroids, soaring superflares, and exploding supernovae are just a few of the calamities that might befall our fragile world. In the short term, we may be able to manage or mitigate some of these threats. Asteroids can be diverted and power grids hardened. But other apocalypses are inevitable as the solar system ages: a runaway Moon, Earth’s collapsing magnetosphere, the Sun’s flagging heart. Each one represents a countdown to a different apocalypse, with some more imminent than others” (“These are the ways our world will end,” Astronomy.com, March 1, 2024).
Your Bible confirms such cosmic dangers when the prophesied heavenly signs will terrify humans all over the earth. How will the great men and women react?
Revelation 6:15, “And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’” (Revelation 6:15–17).
Yes, my friends, Bible prophecy reveals dramatic dangers just ahead of us, but also the good news of God’s coming Kingdom ruled by the Messiah, Jesus Christ, as King of kings and Lord of lords. Surprisingly, when Jesus Christ returns, all the world’s armies and powerful worldly military might will fight against the coming conquering King in the battle of Armageddon.
On today’s program, we’ll be offering an amazing free study guide, ARMAGEDDON AND BEYOND, to help you understand what is ahead for planet Earth. Join us on today’s program and learn who will win the Battle of Armageddon! | |||
| Is Jesus God? | 22 Aug 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
Greetings, and welcome to Tomorrow’s World, where we help you to make sense of your world through the pages of the Bible. We’re glad you’re here, and today’s question is one of the most important questions you could ever ask: Is Jesus God?
This question about Jesus is important. Estimates indicate around 2.4 billion people in the world claim Christianity as their religion—almost half-a-billion more than claim Islam and more than a billion more than claim Hinduism. Yet, even as almost one-third of the planet claims a religion centered on the person of Jesus Christ, many of those same people disagree on exactly who He really was.
For some, even some claiming to be Christian, Jesus was simply a man—a Jewish teacher in the first century, who just happened to have an outsized impact on world culture. The late Shelby Spong, a bishop in the Episcopal Church, was quite famous for his stance that Jesus was not actually God, was not born from a virgin, and was never resurrected.
Other religions claiming to be Christian teach different things about Jesus’ divinity. Some teach that Jesus was a created being, like the angels. Some identify Him with the archangel Michael. Others claim that Jesus and the Devil were brothers in the past. And others, further, claim that Jesus and the Father are the very same person, and not two separate divine persons, at all.
Outside of nominal Christianity, ideas vary, as well. Some religions consider Jesus to have been a holy man, or wise guru, or even a prophet, but not truly divine in the way God is divine. Others consider Him a manifestation of God, like an avatar, or some sort of ascended master in the manner of new age teachings.
And then, there are those who don’t think He ever existed—as if He were a figment of the imagination, or a fiction created in the first century to form the basis of a new religion.
Perhaps we should tackle this question first, in the event some of you have been infected by this pernicious lie.
There is abundant evidence that Jesus of Nazareth did, indeed, exist. Even if we treat the New Testament not as Scripture, but as a mere human product of history, just like Homer’s Iliad or Caesar’s commentaries, it provides abundant evidence that Jesus was a real person, going back to within two or three decades of His life. We even have a fragment from the gospel of John, the famous Rylands Library Papyrus P52, that dates back to within a handful of years after the Apostle John is believed to have written it. And, outside of the New Testament, a number of secular historical records refer to Jesus and the impact of His teachings and example in the first century. The contemporary Jewish historian Josephus, the Roman historian Tacitus, and Pliny the Younger all speak of Jesus Christ as a real person—much too early in the historical record for some imaginary account to have taken hold so profoundly.
In fact, one of the most effective defenders of the very real existence of Jesus Christ is New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman. While Ehrman has publicly declared that he does not believe Jesus was divine, does not believe in the supernatural, and does not consider himself a Christian, he is just as clear that the evidence for Jesus’ existence is overwhelming.
Referring to those who claim Jesus’ existence is just a myth, Ehrman writes,
“It is fair to say that mythicists as a group, and as individuals, are not taken seriously by the vast majority of scholars in the field of New Testament, early Christianity, ancient history, and theology” (Did Jesus Exist? The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth, 2012. p. 20).
In fact, almost all scholars, secular and religious alike, tend to agree. As Ehrman summarizes,
“Despite the enormous range of opinion, there are several points on which virtually all scholars of antiquity agree. Jesus was a Jewish man, known to be a preacher and teacher, who was crucified (a Roman form of execution) in Jerusalem during the reign of the Roman emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea” (p. 12).
In short, those who say that Jesus never existed should be taken as seriously as those who say the tooth fairy or Santa Claus do exist.
Facts are facts. And the man Jesus of Nazareth did live and walk this earth around two thousand years ago in Judea, teaching around the Sea of Galilee and in Jerusalem.
But is that where the story ends? A great teacher dies in His early thirties and just happens to have a religion founded in His name? Or was Jesus more than a man? | |||
| Will a Natural Disaster Strike You? | 21 Aug 2024 | 00:28:26 | |
In this video, we explore the complex and often terrifying reality of natural disasters and their significance from a biblical perspective. Our planet, Earth, is an extraordinary creation, teeming with life, diverse ecosystems, and natural wonders. The oceans, which cover about 70% of the Earth’s surface, are not just vast bodies of water but are vital to sustaining life. They produce approximately half of the oxygen we breathe, regulate global temperatures, and transport essential nutrients across the globe. Yet, despite these life-giving functions, the oceans—and other elements of nature—can also unleash devastating forces like hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes.
Mr. Gerald Weston delves into the question many people ask: If God is a God of love, why does He allow such destructive forces to exist on Earth? Through a biblical lens, we examine how natural disasters are part of a dynamically changing planet and also serve as a reminder of humanity’s fragile place in the world. According to scripture, Earth was created as a perfect environment for life, a place of beauty and abundance. However, humanity’s rejection of God’s guidance, starting with Adam and Eve, has led to a world where time and chance, as well as divine intervention, shape our experiences.
The Bible reveals that while God allows natural processes to unfold, He also has the power to influence weather patterns and other natural events. In passages like Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28, God promises blessings, including favorable weather, to those who obey Him, while also warning of the consequences of disobedience, such as droughts and other calamities. These scriptures suggest that natural disasters can be both a result of living in a fallen world and a direct response to human actions.
Mr. Gerald Weston also explores the prophetic aspects of natural disasters, particularly as described in the Book of Revelation. In the end times, God will use catastrophic events—such as devastating hailstorms, volcanic eruptions, and meteor strikes—as a means to get humanity’s attention and to bring about His ultimate plan of redemption. These events are not merely random acts of nature but are part of a divine plan to restore order and righteousness to the world.
Yet, despite the looming threats of future disasters, the video offers a message of hope. The Bible speaks of a time when God will restore the Earth to its intended state, where natural forces will no longer bring destruction, but instead, will support a harmonious and flourishing world. Isaiah and Ezekiel describe a future where deserts bloom, polluted waters are healed, and life thrives in abundance. This future underscores the idea that God’s ultimate goal is not destruction but renewal.
By watching this video, viewers will gain a deeper understanding of how natural disasters fit into the larger biblical narrative, the reasons behind their occurrence, and the hope that lies beyond the current state of the world. The video also encourages viewers to reflect on their relationship with God and the importance of aligning with His will to experience the blessings He promises. | |||

| One Belt, One Road: A Success or a Warning? | 10 Jul 2024 | 00:26:23 | |
One Belt, One Road: A Success or a Warning? - Presenter: Stuart Wachowicz (TVCA1307)
Few people in the world have not heard of the Belt and Road Initiative. This is the massive trading partnership initiated by China in 2013, which has now grown, beyond any initial expectations, to become a major economic challenger to the G7 group of nations. This initiative offers our Western nations an opportunity to examine themselves and do a reality check on how we are doing in comparison. | |||
| The Conquering King Is Coming Soon | 09 Jul 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
The History television channel and the National Geographic channel offer programs with theories about aliens from outer space.
Information regarding the secret Area 51 military base in southern Nevada focuses on numerous reports of UFOs or unidentified flying objects. Many have been explained by sightings of weather balloons or other natural phenomena.
But there is one undeniable invader from outer space who will powerfully transform planet Earth. False prophecies claim this will be the Antichrist. But, in reality, this coming King will conquer all nations and institute the awesome Kingdom of God on earth. This will be the greatest event in all history! On today’s program we will outline the prophesied events leading up to this historic event. And we’ll be offering an amazing free study guide revealing specific Bible prophecies. It’s titled, FOURTEEN SIGNS ANNOUNCING CHRIST’S RETURN. Be sure to write down the contact information to order your free copy. There is no cost or obligation.
The book of Revelation or the Apocalypse in your Bible announces this future historic event. Revelation 11:15,
“Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
Yes, the powerful King of kings and Lord of lords will institute world peace. But the nations and their military powers will fight against this invader from outer space. It tells us in Revelation 11:18, “The nations were angry” when this dramatic announcement is made! They will set in motion what is often called “the Battle of Armageddon.” Who will win that war? My friends, you need to know the amazing prophecies coming in your lifetime. And you can be thankful that the conquering King is coming soon! | |||
| The Value of Family | 22 May 2024 | 00:26:43 | |
Presenter: Michael Heykoop - TVCA1306
While many seem excited about replacing the so-called outdated and obsolete family structure with a grab-bag of countless options, the real questions are far too frequently brushed aside. Yes, society’s view of family is changing. At what cost? At what cost to the individuals immediately affected, especially children? And at what cost to humanity as a whole while we try to retain society while removing one of its core foundations—the family? | |||
| The Deception Behind Political Correctness | 22 May 2024 | 00:24:28 | |
Presenter: Gerald E. Weston - TVCA1303
When did political correctness begin? And why do we have it? Who’s behind it? And, where is it leading us? Is it humorous, harmless, or hurtful? And should we fall in line with the ever-changing language landscape referred to as P.C.? | |||
| Standing on the Promises | 21 May 2024 | 00:28:26 | |
The well-known hymn, Standing on the Promises, by Russell Carter is familiar to most church-goers. But what are those promises? Do you know? If you guess, “Salvation through Jesus Christ,” that is certainly one of the promises. But do you know to whom that promise was given, and what other promise accompanied it? And do you realize that this other promise explains what is happening geopolitically in our world today?
We read in Genesis 12, and verses 2–3, that a man named Abram was told to leave his country and go to a place that God had chosen for him, and he would be blessed mightily if he did so. Notice these promises:
I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. (Genesis 12:2–3)
It is generally understood that,
…in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
…is a reference to the Messiah—Jesus Christ.
But what about the blessing of national greatness? Is this fulfilled by the tiny state we now call Israel? Or was it the kingdom of Israel under Kings David or Solomon? Or does it mean far more than that?
The promise of a Savior is general knowledge, but we’ll see on today’s program, one of the most remarkable truths of scripture. It is a truth so plain a child can understand, but one that theologians fail to explain. That truth is the promise of national greatness to Abraham, and it explains what we see in our world today. Stay with me now, as we’ll look at the promises of God to Abraham—promises that God cannot, and has not, broken. | |||
| What is the Feast of Tabernacles? | 21 May 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
Do You Keep the Feast?
Ask anyone what Christmas is, and you’ll get an answer.
Everybody knows about Christmas. The same applies to Easter, the popular spring-time holiday. Even the U.S. President hosts an Easter egg roll each year on the White House lawn. What about the dark and sinister observance of Halloween? That holiday is world-renowned as well, even though it celebrates evil and demon spirits.
But ask the average person on the street about the Feast of Tabernacles and you’ll get some confused looks. Most, unless they are Jewish, won’t even have a clue what you’re talking about.
And yet, the Feast of Tabernacles is not just observed by Jews. A growing number of Christians keep this annual autumn festival every year. Why do THEY keep these feast days?
Maybe it’s time we peeled back the shroud of deception covering the Feast of Tabernacles. Let’s uncover the truth about this important holy day season described in the Bible.
What is the Feast of Tabernacles all about? And why should you care? I’m going to answer those questions in a few moments. Be sure to get ready to request your free study guide offered today, The Holy Days: God’s Master Plan.
So, what is the Feast of Tabernacles? We’ll answer that today on Tomorrow’s World. | |||

| The Beauty of the Ten Commandments | 24 Apr 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
Did you know the Bible contains love songs? Hard for some to imagine, but it’s true! Some of our more biblically savvy viewers might think of the Song of Solomon, which is, indeed, a beautiful part of the Bible. But that’s not what I’m thinking of!
Rather, I’m thinking of Psalm 119, which the songwriter, King David, filled with passion, praise, and heartfelt devotion. What was the object of such emotion? Believe it or not, the Ten Commandments!
Does this surprise you?
It shouldn’t. Because they paint a beautiful picture of the mind of God and play a key role in the transformation of the whole world Jesus Christ will establish at His return.
Join us for this episode of Tomorrow’s World, where we’ll uncover The Beauty of the Ten Commandments. | |||
| Three Reasons for Human Suffering | 15 Apr 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
If God exists and is a God of love, why is there so much suffering in our world? Is He powerless to stop it? This challenge is often thrown up by atheists, agnostics, and also sincere individuals who simply struggle to understand. How can a loving God permit wars that kill, maim, and destroy property? Why diseases, famines, and other so-called natural disasters? Some smugly ask these questions in an attempt to dismiss God. Others sincerely look at the cruelty in the world and wonder, why? Why doesn’t a loving God stop war, disease, natural disasters, and cruelty toward women and children?
On this Tomorrow’s World program, I’ll give you three reasons why a loving God allows pain and suffering. Yes, there is great suffering found everywhere and you may personally be going through a painful trial, but our Creator IS a God of love, and that’s why I’m offering a FREE resource that explains His great love for you and me. John 3:16 – Hidden Truths of the Golden Verse explains far more than most realize. Yes, John 3:16 explains God’s love for mankind, despite the hardships we currently see, but within it are truths not generally understood, so be sure to have writing material available to take down our contact information so you can receive your free copy of John 3:16 – Hidden Truths of the Golden Verse. Now stay tuned as I will be back in 5 seconds and give you three reasons WHY a loving God allows such great suffering on this troubled planet. | |||
| Will You Obey the Fourth Commandment? | 09 Apr 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
Billions of people in the world are missing out on the New Testament message of abundant living. Human reason, including non-biblical ideas of “human love,” continues to lead the world toward suffering, confusion, and disaster. What is the true way to love and peace in the world? Most professing Christians know the answer, Matthew 22:37. Jesus Christ gave these two principles to be obeyed by every human being:
“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” [Matthew 22:37-40]
My friends, this is the way to true life, meaning, and fulfillment. But why do so few enjoy this true life? Because human beings do not like to be told what to do. These are “commandments” and humans resist commandments, including the Ten Commandments.
But many would rather remain ignorant, because it suits their selfish desires. Aldous Huxley, the famous English author, expressed this perspective well: “Most ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don't know because we don't want to know. It is our will that decides how and upon what subjects we shall use our intelligence.” (Ends and Means, p. 312). But there IS a God, and He commands us to love Him!
The First Great Commandment to love God is defined by the first four of the Ten Commandments, and the Fourth Commandment of the Ten emphasizes a weekly action in loving God.
Exodus 20:8–10,
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.”
Which day is the Christian Sabbath? On today’s program we’ll be offering a free study guide, by that title: Which Day Is the Christian Sabbath? Be sure to write down the contact information to order your free copy!
My friends, will you love God? Will you obey the Fourth Commandment? You need to know the true Christian way of life and the true Sabbath of Jesus Christ! | |||
| Where Did Satan Come From? | 28 Mar 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
Red horns, pitchfork, pointy tail… the stereotype of the Devil as some sort of cartoonish figure has little to do with the reality. Satan the Devil is a powerful spirit being of immense influence in the world around us.
Not just a “symbol” of evil or a mere abstract representation of sin or temptation, Satan is a real, living, personal entity devoted to resisting the plan of God, corrupting the true faith, and destroying humanity.
Yet, for all people know about the Devil, or THINK they know about the Devil, one question inevitably arises, and—today—we’ll answer that question. Join us for this episode of Tomorrow’s World where we ask and answer the question: “Where Did Satan Come From?” | |||
| Political Correctness: A Sinister Deception! | 27 Mar 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
When did political correctness begin? And why do we have it? Who’s behind it? And, where is it leading us? Is it humorous, harmless, or hurtful? And should we fall in line with the ever-changing language landscape referred to as P.C.?
Here’s another important question: What would Jesus do? Would He be led about by social engineers, as a bull is, with a ring in his nose? Or would He be politically in-correct? How can you know?
Most of us living today have grown up with the constantly changing language of political correctness. The term itself became part of our vocabulary in the 1960s and ‘70s when drugs, rampant sex, and Vietnam War protesters flooded American university campuses. The change in how we expressed ourselves often appeared silly, foolish, and laughable. But is it to be laughed off?
Stay tuned as I’ll show you what is behind P.C. and answer the question of what Jesus would do. I’ll also be offering you a free DVD. | |||
| The “Good News” Gospel! | 26 Mar 2024 | 00:28:25 | |
The November 2023 National Geographic magazine featured the headline “The Race to Save The Planet: Can Technology Help Fix the Climate Crisis?” An almost universal feeling is that the end of the world is coming soon. And the Doomsday Clock maintained by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists confirms that danger!
Can science save us? Will God save us? Can we have any hope for the future? There is one source that outlines the history of the world and its guaranteed future, and that is this book, the Holy Bible. It reveals from the Creator of the Universe the detailed sequence of prophetic events, the ultimate condition of all nations on earth, and the encouraging future of humanity! On today’s program, we will reveal from the Bible the Good News God has in store for humanity.
There is a NEW world that is coming with the return of Jesus Christ to this earth! He will the world a way of life that leads to peace, prosperity, and abundance. And that is the good news, the gospel, that Jesus of Nazareth preached. You have probably never heard that gospel in your local church. But you will hear it on this program, “The Good News Gospel”!
Stay tuned! | |||
| Religion in Decline | 20 Mar 2024 | 00:26:47 | |
Presenter: Michael Heykoop - TVCA1252
What are the religious beliefs of Canadians and how are they changing from previous generations? The decline of religion is a favourite topic of many. Some see it as a sign of turbulent times and mourn the loss; while others view it as a monumental step forward, a necessary separation from an unpleasant past. What does it really mean for our nation. | |||
