“The Curse of the Iran War,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

The war with Iran has already spread to other countries in the Middle East and even threatens Europe. It began on February 28, 2026, with an attack on Iran by the US and Israel. What is remarkable about this date? Why did it happen, and what is the plan after the war ends? And was Trump anointed by Christ, as commanders have recently claimed? What does Jesus Christ really say about all of this in His holy book, the Bible? Is war ever justified in His eyes?

“Der Fluch des Iran Krieges,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

“Do not Doubt—Believe!” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is the summary:

In our human lives each day we hear about fake news, tech scams, AI bots, and more, and we must train ourselves to doubt all we confront. This is correct, however, once we’ve been called by God, we must also train ourselves by praying and reading the Bible, to do as Jesus commanded: to believe in Him and the Father and have no doubts as to Scripture and prophecy. In this sermonette we will review several Scriptures that can help us in this regard.

“The Twelve Tribes of Israel—Past, Present and Future,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Without understanding the identity of the twelve tribes of Israel, biblical prophecies make little sense. Their history is written in the Bible, and they do still exist, today! In fact, they will never cease to exist!

“The Most Problematic Statement in the State of the Union Address,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

President Trump’s address on February 25, 2026, included all kinds of controversial statements, but one really was extremely problematic and very dangerous, explaining, somewhat, WHY the fall of the United States of America is prophesied and inevitable—unless the nation bitterly repents of its pride and its sins. There are no signs, though, of such required repentance.

“Die problematischste Aussage in der Rede zur Lage der Nation,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

God protects His servants from danger, and He gives warnings that must not be ignored!

“Jesus Christ Reveals the Father,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:  

The relationship that Jesus Christ has with God the Father is a mystery that most in the world do not understand today. The Jews at the time of Jesus Christ accused Him of blasphemy when He proclaimed His relationship because they didn’t understand the nature of the godhead either! The Bible reveals from the beginning to the end that Jesus Christ is the Son of God the Father, eternally. When He came to live on Earth as a man, He explained this relationship, removing the veil that previously hid God the Father from everyone.

Time to Flee

God protects His servants from danger, and He gives warnings that must not be ignored!

“Merz’s and Rubio’s Historic Speeches in Munich…Really?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

We are told that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz gave a “widely noted” “historic” speech during the Munich Security Conference, describing his take on the American-European relationship.  The subsequent speech by US Secretary of Speech Marco Rubio was warmly received, but upon further analysis, what did it really convey? Have those speeches announced a better transatlantic relationship… or a further deterioration?

“Merz‘ und Rubios „historische“ Reden in München … Wirklich?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as discussed above.

A new Member Letter (February 2026) has been posted and will be mailed to our subscribers. Elder Frank Bruno writes about our need to reconcile with others—while we can, and that includes the Father and Jesus Christ.

“Do You Know Why God Has Called You?” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Even though you are called for salvation, you may not always know exactly what is the specific purpose of your calling NOW, out of billions of people. This message wants to give you some thoughts to ponder.

“End Time Prophecies in the Book of Hosea,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The Old Testament book of Hosea—a contemporary of Amos—specifically warns Americans, Britons, and the State of Israel of terrible punishments. His accurate description of the current situation in the USA, England, and Israel should astonish everyone. Why is God so angry with them? And what lessons can we all learn from this?

“The Beast of Germany Over Ten Nations,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

The Bible shows us that in these last days, a powerful military leader will arrive in Europe, called the Beast, and that ten nations will give him their authority. Also, that Germany will be the leading European country. In this program, we discuss developments in Europe and Germany which confirm with astonishing accuracy these biblical prophecies.

“Das Tier Deutschlands über zehn Nationen,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as described above.

“Admit Your Mistakes!–Comments on News and Prophecy, February 7, 2026,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

When we do wrong or say wrong things, do we admit our mistakes and apologize? Or do we deny responsibility, blame someone else and say, “I didn’t make a mistake”? Focusing on Nancy Guthrie, do we understand that under Old Testament rules, a kidnapper was to be put to death? Also, what is our personal thorn in the flesh? Who were all the “Mary’s” in the Bible? What is the future of Ukraine and Taiwan? What is Germany doing in the Gulf region? When will the third temple be built? These and many other questions are discussed in this program.

“Ask And You Shall Receive,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

If you were granted three wishes, which ones would you choose? Would many of those wishes actually come true, and would they be in accordance with God’s Will?

“The Third Temple—Coming Soon?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:  

Will the Third Temple be built soon, or is it being delayed? This program discusses developments showing an indirect relationship to the Third Temple, as well as direct orders to build the Temple.  However, we also show that some, who are responsible for building the Temple, seem to hesitate and thereby delay biblical prophecy. God won’t tolerate this much longer. 

“Kommt der dritte Tempel bald?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topics as discussed above.

A Tech Team Meeting was conducted on February 1, 2026. Hosted by Eric Rank, a wide range of ideas and suggestions centering on our ad campaigns for both English and German booklets were discussed along with website maintenance items.

“Germany’s Continuing Rise in Europe—Comments on News and Prophecy, January 31, 2026,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Are you despairing of life? In light of the terrible developments in this world, this might be easy to do, but as Christians, we must not fall into that trap. This does not mean that we close our eyes and ignore what is happening in this world, as these are signs for the soon-coming Return of Jesus Christ. And so, in this program, we are addressing the remarkable military treaty between Germany and Italy and the call for an all-powerful European military leader, as well as the ongoing alienation between the USA and Europe and the terrible situation in Minnesota.

“A Pillar of God’s Word – Respect,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Respect is not optional—it is a pillar of God’s Word that upholds families, communities, and our relationship with Him. This sermon contrasts respect and disrespect across Scripture, showing how love, humility, and reverence produce unity, while pride and contempt lead to division. In a world that is losing respect, God’s people are called to hold the line and reflect His character through proper respect in every relationship.

“Walking Dust,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Rene Messier is now posted. Here is the summary:

This sermon discusses the consequences of pride and how some consequences are immediate and some delayed, but that there are always consequences for lack of humility and thinking you are better than others.

Once Upon a Time

For many people, the following account is little more than a “fairy tale”:

“Beyond question, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory” (1 Timothy 3:16 New American Standard Version).

This is about Jesus Christ, the Son of God (John 3:16), but it is only part of the story about Him. He is also revealed as the “Word”:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:1-3, 14).

What Jesus did was actually planned “before time began” (2 Timothy 1:9), as the Apostle Peter confirms: “He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you” (1 Peter 1:20).

Is this the Jesus Christ you believe in, know and serve? Furthermore, is the biblical description of the glorified Christ how you view Him to be? Note how it is found in Revelation 1:13-15:

“[A]nd in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters…”

Not only who Jesus is and what Jesus did misunderstood, but what He is doing and will do seems to hold no relevance for most people. Right now, He is the living Head of the Church of God (Ephesians 1:22; Hebrews 4:14-16). Following His resurrection, He said, “‘…All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth’” (Matthew 28:18). We are also told that He will come back to the earth from heaven (John 14:1-3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 1:7).

Yet, for all the prophecies about Jesus Christ, people continue to ignore the very signs He gave which will herald His return, and we find this stern warning from Him:

“‘Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect’” (Matthew 24:44).

We simply don’t know the exact time, but we must not ignore events that are now signifying and heralding the end of this age and the establishment of the Kingdom of God. These things are happening exactly as Jesus foretold.

The key for us who know the story of Jesus Christ found in the Word of God is to be preparing, because we truly believe it! Let’s not treat the warnings of the Bible as improbable fairy tales, but as what they are—the very Truth of how God will bring salvation to mankind, which He promised before time began (Titus 1:2).

“Trump’s Greenland Deal—Defeat or Distraction?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

In order to answer the question in the title of this program, we will first go back to point out Trump’s statements of his intensions regarding Greenland. In light of those declarations, the answer might become more obvious. But in any event, Trump’s conduct has contributed to the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. This program will show you, how this is the case.

“Trumps Grönland Deal—Niederlage oder Ablenkung?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers topics as described above.

“What Have You Learned About Generosity?” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Generosity has effects upon the giver that are contrary to human intuition. On the surface, the act of giving takes away from givers, leaving them with less than they started with. However, generosity is not a zero-sum game. The Bible reveals that the act of giving brings unique benefits to all of those involved.

“Those Who Knew Better,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is the summary:

How often have we been confronted with a choice to do something that we knew we shouldn’t do, or to do what we know God commands for us? How do we choose in those situations?

Those Who Knew Better

How often have we been confronted with a choice to do something that we knew we shouldn’t do, or to do what we know God commands for us? How do we choose in those situations?
