The Real Truth is “a magazine restoring plain understanding,” as the cover of each issue states. Our related World to Come program’s tagline is “analyzing world news—explaining Bible prophecy.”

Simply put, the Work you are in contact with is commissioned to explain truths understood nowhere else—including within the realm of prophecy. God’s Church has for decades taught what the Bible really says on impending matters of great importance, going back to the Worldwide Church of God and continuing today in The Restored Church of God.

But God foretold that a burst of new prophetic knowledge would come before He intervened in world affairs (Amos 3:7). The picture of prophecy long understood in God’s Church has been greatly amplified over recent years in a largely internal series of sermons I have given titled “The Greatest Untold Story!”—now nearly 500 in number. This undertaking, led by God, has detailed how God’s Kingdom will come to Earth. Every time you pray “Thy Kingdom come,” you are asking God to do something He has been planning for millennia!

The concept of a 1,000-year Kingdom is relatively well understood by Bible readers. Revelation 20:4 plainly says saints reign “with Christ a thousand years.” What no one can agree on is what precedes this. Many in Christendom believe in a seven-year Antichrist reign wherein this evil figure shows his true colors and betrays mankind halfway through. In contrast, longtime members of God’s Church have believed the first half of this seven-year period was already fulfilled by Christ 2,000 years ago. This left only 3½ years in God’s Plan before the Millennium. Over 900 hours of messages given in The Restored Church of God—with many multiple thousands of hours of study and preparation—reveal neither is the case. God has revealed much over recent years—including the central truth of how God’s Kingdom comes!

Our prophetic literature is largely correct, just incomplete in light of what God has shown. A brief preface will be added where necessary to explain the full picture of how God’s Kingdom truly comes. It is provided here in preliminary form.

This Personal is short for a reason. The increase in prophetic understanding, while revolutionary, is logical and provable. If you are like vast numbers who are learning the truth for the first time, it should be relatively easy to accept and understand with some study. But those with a Church of God background can also grasp the powerful “simplicity that is in Christ” of what was just explained (II Cor. 11:3). (Note that part of this process of revising our literature will involve updating and reposting our article explaining the 70 weeks prophecy, proving in detail that one prophetic week remains before the Millennium.)

Of course, all that has been learned will be reflected in literature updates and corrections where necessary. Portions of revised books and booklets may even be reprinted in the form of Personals in future issues of The Real Truth, all the while hoping and praying God intervenes in world affairs and cuts this short!
