Bob Vermaat’s column “A Christian Israelite View” has drawn a wide following and is often reprinted in other publications. A retired carpenter, he and his wife came to the message after reading an article in a newspaper, an article that instantly led them to the truth. That was thirty years ago and it began his mainly one on one ministry of spreading news of the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Israel Truth. He attributes his growing knowledge partly through brief associations with such scholarly pastors such as Karl Schott, Sheldon Emry, Robert Record, George Southwick and Bob Bell. We are indeed pleased that approximately two years ago Bob agreed to become president of this Association and he has proved his teaching abilities through meetings that he chairs during Sunday services. He is also an accomplished Gospel singer and inspires those of us who are fortunate to listen. A modest man, he understands that each time he sits down to study Scripture, a new understanding comes to life and he is always astounded by what he learns.
“And Thomas answered, and said unto him, My Lord and my God.” (John 20:28) “And Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” (John 20:29) The purpose of this study is to attempt to make those, who cannot see…
“Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.” (Matt. 5:4) In this essay I am going out on a limb by comparing the inner feelings of man as opposed to the feelings of God in regard to the wayward children of Israel. Although, I am sure that the subject that I will be…

When we read the account set forth in Gen. 6 we read that mankind had become so wicked and corrupt that God chose to do away with all that was corrupted, save Noah and his family. Since we also read in Gen. 5:1 that this is the Book of the generations of Adam, namely the…
In the world that we live in today, with all its mechanical gadgets, it is not easy to enjoy a moment of silence. Whether we are at home or on the street, at work, or at a sporting event, silence has by and large become a thing of the past. In a lot of homes…
“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth; and all these blessings shall come…
“For thou, O God, hast tested us; thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.” (Ps. 66:10,11) Yes! We have come to the end of another year. A year that has brought much unrest in the world, especially in the countries of North…
As we stand on the threshold of another year and witness the turmoil around the world, I am reminded of a past powerful New Year’s message by the great scholar, Henry D. Houghton. “There never was a time when our distinctive Message was so much needed as it is to-day. The forces of disruption, disorder…
“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that.” (Gen. 6:4) When we read our Bible we find that the account of giants is recorded nineteen times, from Genesis and Numbers, in Deuteronomy and Joshua and also in 2Samuel and 1Chronicles. If we would ask the average Christian when the giants…
“And I will betroth thee unto me forever.” (Hos. 2:19). Yes! She was a beautiful woman and in the eyes of her beloved, she was a most desirable creature. She had just recently been rescued from the most unfavourable environs of bondage and slavery and was not as of yet used to the ways and…
