“The Countdown to the Return of Jesus
Christ” is a weekly newsletter that comes out each Sabbath. Its purpose is to
uplift and encourage the brethren, and to present notices, updates and news of
events. Prayer Requests for those who are experiencing trials and illness
usually come first in the Countdown. We encourage the scattered brethren, not
only to pray for one another, but also to edify each other by staying in close
contact. “They that feared the Lord spoke often one to another.”
(Malachi 3:16) The main body of the Countdown features a commentary on a
Biblical subject - which is often a part of the Sabbath sermon. The brief
presentation often includes exhortations and admonitions as we prepare for the
return of Christ. “The marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made
herself ready.” (Revelation 19:7)
