A new StandingWatch program was posted on StandingWatch, Google Video and YouTube. It is titled, “Should Bristol Palin’s Pregnancy Concern You?”

In the program, Norbert Link is asking: What is missing in the news media’s reporting on Bristol Palin’s pregnancy? Much debate revolves around the pro’s and con’s of abortion, the proper use of contraceptives, or even the question of statutory rape in Alaska. The undesired social phenomenon of unwanted teenage pregnancies has also been mentioned. But reference to the most important aspect has been overlooked or neglected.

The Sermon “A Remarkable Psalm” from August 6, 2005 by Norbert Link was posted on Google Video.

We would like to thank all of you for your prayers for a successful Public Bible Lecture, which was given by Norbert Link in Fort Collins, Colorado, on September 7, 2008, after being introduced by Dave Harris. Even though physical attendance was below expectation, the lecture was transmitted live over the Internet, and it was also video-recorded. 

The video recording of the Public Bible Lecture has now been posted on Google Video. It is titled, “Public Bible Lecture: Europe in Prophecy.”

Comments from our Readers and Viewers

“Thank you so much…I received it [the booklet, “Europe in Prophecy“] and read it the same night!  WOW!  It was great to have some things explained… excellent!  This is definitely the beginning of the end!  Quite scary, as there will be blood, sweat and tears before the marriage supper!”

“Thank you for all your videos. I am a new viewer, a single Mom and a strong believer in God. He has carried me through many trials and it is helpful to me to know what is coming. I prayed and asked him for the truth. I have to say that it is difficult to swallow. So, now I am going to pray more for even more guidance. Thank you for helping to make things clear.”

“These were my thoughts exactly when I was reading about Palin’s daughter: marriage was mentioned as well as keeping the child, but no one said anything negative about premarital sex.”

“You’re right on with your message. Abstinence is mocked by most folks as ineffective and outdated, while the promotion of ‘safe sex’ is hailed as responsible parenting/educating. What a backwards world. Please keep up the good work of teaching God’s truth.”

New StandingWatch Programs in English and German

A new StandingWatch program was posted on StandingWatch, Google Video and YouTube. It is titled, “Is Global World War III Coming?” In the program, Norbert Link addresses the following: As the world again approaches depression, and as we look at our current trouble spots, involving Russia and Georgia; Iraq; Israel and Iran; Afghanistan; and Pakistan; we are seeing “alarming parallels with the 1930s,” according to an article in The Times, dated August 24, 2008. It continued that wars are the result of “weak, shortsighted leaders entrapped by a series of mistakes.” It concluded that “for the West’s leaders at present, mistake has become second nature.” Is therefore World War 3 inevitable?

A new StandingWatch program in German was posted on YouTube, dealing with the crisis between Russia and Georgia; the “need” for Europe to unite; and a possible new conflict in the Middle East, involving Israel and Iran (and Russia). It is titled “Russland’s Krieg mit Georgien–Nur der Anfang.”

Will it attack other European nations with nuclear weapons? What would happen if Israel were to attack Iran? Are we facing the prospects of another World War?

Our recent StandingWatch program, titled, “Coming–A Great Depression”  has been viewed on You Tube in excess of 10,100 times.

The following sermon by Norbert Link has been posted on Google Video:

“Bible Study–Mystery of Salvation”

A new StandingWatch program was posted on StandingWatch and Google Video. It is titled, “Georgia Burns, While the West Fiddles.”  In the program, Norbert Link points out that while our political leaders seem to be unwilling to respond in a meaningful way to the new-found imperialism of “Vladimir Bonaparte,” the Russian Bear, under Putin, continues with its aggressions. “Mother Russia” claims that Georgia has lost its territorial integrity, and threatens Poland with a nuclear attack. As Britain’s The Telegraph wrote on August 15, the West, collectively, including the EU and the USA, failed in this crisis. But very soon, according to the Bible, things WILL change.

The following sermons by Norbert Link have been posted on Google Video:

“Bible Study–The Book of Malachi” (August 9, 2008)

“Bible Study–How Assertive Are You?” (August 27, 2005)

“Bible Study–The Son of Man and of God” (December 17, 2005)

A new StandingWatch program in the German language was posted on our German Website and on YouTube It is titled, “Krieg mit Iran–Nie im Leben?” (i.e., “War With Iran–Not in Your Life?”)

A new StandingWatch program has been posted on StandingWatch, Google Video and YouTube. It is titled, “WHY Is Our Economy THAT Bad?” In the program, Norbert Link discusses that the fact that the U.S. budget deficit will reach $500 billion in 2009. A new law raises the nation’s debt limit to $10.6 trillion. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have issued $5 trillion in debt. Ford Motor Co. posted the worst quarterly performance in its history. General Motors lost $15.5 billion in the second quarter. So far, seven banks have been shut by regulators in 2008, with many more to follow. 463,000 jobs were lost so far this year. An economic recovery is not expected any time soon, if at all. WHY should this happen to the greatest nation on earth? Is GOD really pleased with how we are living today?

Set forth below are the numbers of all-times views on Google Video, as of August 1,  pertaining to our five most successful sermons:

Bible Study–The Books of Ezra and Nehemiah, Part 1, 3,525 views and 78 downloads

Bible-Study–Day of Atonement: Mystery of the Atonement Rituals, 2,585 views

Bible Study–The Books of Ezra and Nehemiah, Part 2, 1,141 views and 24 downloads

Set forth below are a few selected comments received from viewers of our StandingWatch programs, as posted on YouTube:

“Why do you keep going on about the Law knowing you yourself cannot live up to all of it? Don’t you know that if you are guilty of breaking one law you are guilty of breaking them all? THAT is the reason for Jesus’ death on the cross, YOUR inability to keep the law. It seems you can’t accept the cross of Christ for what it is. You have not been made complete by grace. Just accept it man, Christ fulfilled the law and then died in your place because YOU(WE) could not fulfill it. Dude read Romans!”

“I agree with you. As it says in the psalms, ‘The law of the Lord is perfect.'”

“Useless preaching. No hard facts.”

“Blessed are those, whom God instructs.”

“The Bible does not mention the peak oil crisis, nor does it mention climate change, world wide human overpopulation, soil degradation, fiat-money and many other cataclysms of the modern world faces. Why should an ancient scripture be appropriate in today’s world? Sorry, but the Bible? has no appeal to me at all. It’s a document of a past ancient world.”

“I thought it was a serious video and then the guy goes on talking about the Bible… Don’t waste your time watching this…”

“Thank you for another outstanding program. Prophecy is falling into place right before our eyes. And it seems that there are still too many ignorant people out there who think they know everything. But instead they know nothing and could not care less what is being said in those programs. They rather listen to any other book inspired by man. But I believe that the time will come when most of them will wake up–hopefully–I know that you are doing your part.”

“The status quo of the US economy is the product of a greedy money culture, that has no moral or social values anymore. We are witnessing the fall of great nation.”

“Things are going to get worst. I urge everyone to accept Jesus Christ !!!!”

“Dude, hope all that listen to this will listen. Man, this is no joke!”

“I agree. God bless you.”

“Put up your treasures in heaven. I like that. It’s a great message.”

“I’ve watched your video on ‘Will Your Soul Go To Heaven?’ I was overwhelmed to learn that you agree with me. I do not believe man has an immortal soul.”

“Everyone needs to hear this message about Halloween. Thank you for revealing the truth about this festival. People need to stop following tradition and ask themselves about origins and customs of holidays they celebrate.”

A new, comprehensive booklet on the Book of Revelation has entered the second review cycle.

As a special service to our readers–especially for those who may not be able to watch our StandingWatch programs on the Internet–we are offering, via email, informal transcripts of future programs. Please contact us if you are interested.

A new StandingWatch program has been posted on StandingWatch, Google Video and YouTube. It is titled, “Obama and the Beast of Europe.” In the program, Norbert Link discusses the fact that on Thursday, July 24, Senator Barack Obama gave his long-awaited speech in Berlin, Germany, but not all liked his demand for more European military involvement in Afghanistan. Would a military buildup in Europe be good for America and the rest of the world? And what role will religion play in all of this–given the fact that a separation between Church and State is unknown in Europe?

Our StandingWatch program,“Coming–The Great Depression,” was viewed in excess of 8200 times on YouTube, followed by “Food Shortage in the USA” (over 3700 views).

This week, Norbert Link video-recorded the Feast sermon to be played during the Feast of Tabernacles 2008 in Tucson.

A new StandingWatch program has been posted on StandingWatch, Google Video and YouTube. It is titled, “America’s Financial Crisis.” In the program, Norbert Link is discussing that recently, the U.S. federal government took control of the Pasadena, California, based IndyMac Bank, signifying the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history. The largest U.S. mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are also in big financial trouble. The third largest U.S. investment bank Merrill Lynch is $10 billion in debt. More than 300 U.S. banks might fail over the next few years. The US. is facing a global crisis to fund its $700 billion (!) account deficit. Especially Europe is upset with America’s irresponsible financial dealings and is looking for alternatives. What DOES the future hold for all of us?

Three StandingWatch programs in the German language were posted on our German Website  and on YouTube, discussing a potential War with Iran; Ireland’s Vote on the Lisbon Treaty; and the recent Mission to Mars.
