From Berlin J talked of the emerging
giant of Germany, of the approaching
FACT of German reunification - and
what Bible prophecy says abo ut the
coming UNITED STATES OF EUROPE.
From Gibraltar J reported how the
great SYMBOL of British PlU DE, STUB­
BORNNESS and POWER is going to be
GIVEN away in ignominy and disgraceand
I said so because GOD says so.

At ancient Tyre T talked of fulfilled
prophecy-prophecy ] could SEE laid
out before me-and how just as that
prophecy had come TRUE so would future
prophecies.
And so, the on-the-spot broadcasts did
not try to keep up with you r current
newscasts- they KE PT WELL AHEAD of
them.
And Still Another Reason
But there's another important reason
why I simply H AD to do those broadcasts.
1 sim ply coul d n't help myself.
It's true. I HAD to do those programs.
But here's what I mean.
While we wefe in Palestine in particular-
here we were walking the very
areas where Christ lived, where He
grew up. where He preached the Sermon
on the Mount, or healed, or spoke in a
synagogue-the very spot where He
di ed and the tomb whtre He lay for
three days and three nights.
And when you're in such inspiring
and deeply moving places-you just
HAVE TO TELL SOMEBODY ABOUT IT. If
I had n't had the recorder '"\lith me-I
would ha ve spoken only to my wife,
and those few traveling with us-but
with that recorder I could talk to MIL­
LIONS about those inspiring places.
I remember the morning on the Sea
of Galilee. ] have read so maoy times
how it was Christ's habit to ri se EARLY
IN THE ManNING an d go up into a
]..·IO UNTAIN to pray. W e had a tight
schedule to meet-had to be on our
way back through Haifa to Tel Aviv
that next morning.
So r asked Mr. Smith, Mr. Hunting
and Me. Christopherson if they wanted
to get lip before the rest-and go out
to that mountain with me-the ONLY
rea ll y sleep and craggy mountain overlooking
the very seclion of the Sea of
Gali lee from which Christ must have
given the Sermon on the Mount. I just
H/\D to seize that opportunity.
I had only seven or eight scribbled
lines-and my Bible with me-no notes,
no typewritten script- nothing. But we

climbed up that steep slope earl y that
morning as the sun was beginning to
stream down through the morning cumulous
clouds- and Norman and T sat
on a rock of marble-like whitish stone,
with Mr. Hunting taking notes and Mr.
Christopherson taking pictures-and
did another half-hour WonLD T OMOR­

To me- those few moments I spoke
into the microphone inside the Gard en
tomb, and that morning on that mountain,
were two of the rea ll y memorable
moments of my life.
So that's the story behind the onthe-spot
broadcasts.
MOST of the prog rams you hear come
from our own studios in Pasadena, or
from England, or from Ambassador
College in Texas. But if you hear me
say, "And g reetings friends around the
world. This is Garner Ted Armstrong
speaking to you from KE NYA-Or from
H ONG KONG- Or from AUSTRALlA"~
then you'J! know how it's done-and
why.
