June 1969, a man was practicing flying a strange looking contraption, an awkward looking, dangerous, and difficult to fly machine, not practical for traveling from Los Angeles to London. Inside was a primitive computer that didn’t work very well and when it failed, the pilot took over. No matter, it was going to crash.

A month later this same pilot would be in a similar contraption on one of mankind’s most daring adventures and there would be no room for error. On July 16, 1969 our daring pilot and two other men sat atop a huge firecracker, waiting to blast off from the face of the earth. If successful, this 6-million pound, 36 story colossus of fire and thunder, would take three men on a trip one quarter of a million miles away. Destination? The moon.

Most things went remarkably well over the next few days, but not everything. Only later did we learn the details of how close to disaster Apollo 11 had come. I’ll be right back to give you the rest of the story of man’s first landing on the moon, so keep watching!

A warm welcome to all of you joining me today on Tomorrow’s World. And if you’re joining us for the first time, I hope you’ll become a regular viewer of Tomorrow’s World.

July 16, 1969 was a day for the history books as three men blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Destination...the moon. Four days later, following a number of times circling the moon Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin gave farewell and separated from Mike Collins in the command module, and began their descent in the Lunar Module. From 12 miles up Armstrong and Aldrin raced across the face of the moon and began falling toward its surface, but such a bold adventure was fraught with many dangers and all did not go as planned.

From several thousand feet above the surface, we pick up the story from science writer Rod Pyle, who explained how tenuous the landing was:

Apollo 11 was four minutes into its landing sequence when the terse words of its commander, Neil Armstrong, came from the speaker in Mission Control:

“Program alarm.”

Buzz Aldrin, sitting next to Armstrong in the descending Lunar Module, stared at the frozen display on the computer, which read “1202.” It was an error code, but for what? Controllers in Houston scanned their notes trying to figure out what ... the problem was. But time was running short.

“Give us a reading on the program alarm,” Armstrong said. He sounded tense, but no more so than during the simulations. It was hard to grasp that a life-or-death struggle was playing out 240,000 miles (386,000 kilometers) from Earth, in a small, fragile machine descending rapidly to the moon. Communications were spotty; the computer was threatening to quit, and Gene Kranz, the flight director for this first lunar landing, felt Mission Control slip a bit further behind the power curve.

The alarm meant that the computer could not handle the data it was being fed. Few people viewing the landing understood the urgency of the matter.

Landing a lunar module has been described as attempting to land a Boeing 747 from the passenger compartment. Armstrong already demonstrated how to crash a lunar lander only a month earlier where he ejected at the last instant and floated safely to the earth. But on the moon that was not an option. It was all or nothing. There could be no rescue.

This was no longer practice or simulation. The crew was facing a serious danger. As Kranz related to Pyle several decades later:

“We would either land on the moon, we would crash attempting to land, or we would abort,” he said simply. “The final two outcomes were not good.”

Pyle Added,

“That is an understatement on a grand scale.”

But this was not the only problem. The landing site was strewn with large boulders and an alternate site had to be found and found quickly. Fuel was running precariously low. No one knows for sure, but the 30 second warning already sounded, and our brave astronauts clearly had only seconds of fuel remaining.

The estimated 600 million people from around the world watched the moon landing live and cheered when they heard the words, “the Eagle has landed.” Only later did details come out regarding how precarious the situation was.

This year marks the fifty-year anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, when Neil Armstrong, stepped onto the surface of the moon and uttered the immortal words, “That’s one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind.” Fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin and ten other men over the course of three and a half years followed in his footsteps, but Armstrong was the first. The last pair to do so were in December 1972.

The original Christian followers of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, believed in keeping the Fourth Commandment, “Remember the Sabbath day.” Jesus Himself observed the seventh-day Sabbath in Nazareth where He grew up. As an adult, He preached in the synagogues on the Sabbath (Luke 4:16).

In the first century AD, after Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, the Apostle Paul preached on the Sabbath to Gentile congregations.

Now, two thousand years later, most professing Christians keep the first day of the week, Sunday, as the Lord’s Day. What happened to the Fourth Commandment, which states that God’s people should keep the seventh day holy? How did that major change take place? Which day should Christians keep holy? And WHO changed the Sabbath to Sunday?

Your Bible and history give the answer!

Most professing Christians observe Sunday as a day of worship. And yet the Ten Commandments include instructions to observe the seventh day, Saturday. Perhaps you grew up as a young child learning the Ten Commandments. The Fourth Commandment gives us this very plain instruction: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God....” (Exodus 20:8-10) Yet most professing Christians observe Sunday, even though first-century Christians observed the same seventh-day Sabbath that Jesus observed!

So, WHO changed the Sabbath to Sunday? On today’s program, we’ll answer that question. And we’ll be offering you an inspiring free booklet that gives you the biblical answers you need. It’s titled: WHICH DAY IS THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH? This is a vital question for all professing Christians. This booklet is free of charge, and gives you the historic and biblical facts to answer the question. Just call the number on your screen, or order it online at TOMORROWSWORLD.ORG. Just ask for the Christian Sabbath booklet.

Various religions set aside holidays or holy days. Muslims gather to worship on Friday. Jews around the world have worshipped for thousands of years on the Sabbath, the day that begins at sunset every Friday evening, and continues through to sunset on Saturday. Professing Christians meet for Sunday church services, proclaiming theirs is the true day for worship.

My friends, which day should Christians keep holy? The first day of the week? Or the seventh? Throughout world history, various civilizations have recorded their days in weeks of four days or ten days. Yet the seven-day week is ancient. Records going back to ancient Babylon show observance of a seven-day cycle. The Jewish people have preserved a calendar with a seven-day week. History faithfully documents that the day we now call Saturday is the seventh day of the week, and Sunday is the first day of the week. Even when Pope Gregory XIII revised the calendar in 1582, he did not change the seven-day cycle. The seventh-day Sabbath today is the same seventh day observed by Jesus and the first-century Christian Church.

If you have your Bible, turn to Acts 13:42. In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul preached on the Sabbath in the Antioch synagogue. Notice that his audience included BOTH Jews and Gentiles. After the Jews left, the Gentiles made a request. Now, this was YEARS after Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. Surely, if Christians were to keep Sunday, these Gentiles would have met with Paul the very next day, Sunday. But did they? Acts 13:42, “So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them…”

WHEN? The next day, Sunday? No! Verse 42: “...the Gentiles not the Jews begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.” Read that again in your own Bible. “...the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.” NOT SUNDAY!

Sure enough, Acts 13:44: “On the NEXT SABBATH almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.” Paul met with Gentiles, not on Sunday, but on the Sabbath. New Testament Christians observed the seventh-day Sabbath.

The Marketing of Covetousness and Greed - Presenter: Stuart Wachowicz (TVCA736)

We can all desire a commodity, an improvement or achievement, without being driven by greed. Greed is more than desire. It is, as the definition stated, a craving for MORE than one needs. It is often associated with a desire for acquisition, position or recognition at any expense, regardless of whom it may harm. There are some in society who view greed as a positive motivator of Western economic development. Is it possible to determine if our present society has a problem with greed?

Many people study their Bibles faithfully, but there is a large part of the Bible that eludes many: Bible Prophecy. Its symbols and ancient references can seem confusing and bewildering.

Yet, if there were ever a day when Bible prophecy was of life-or-death importance, it’s today! The news around us is packed with prophetic significance, and God has long foretold events that we are seeing unfold around us right now!

The good news is that you don’t have to be in the dark. You can understand Bible prophecy for yourself, if you learn some fundamental keys that unlock their meaning. On today’s program, we’ll explain three of those fundamental keys in today’s program—you won’t want to miss it!

Does Family Matter? - Presenter: Michael Heykoop (TVCA756)

Has the traditional family unit, or the concept of family in general, become obsolete? Like it or not, there is no debate that the structure of the average family is very different than 50, 25 or even 10 years ago. At what cost? At what cost to the individuals immediately affected, especially children? And at what cost to humanity as a whole as we try to retain society while removing one of its core foundations—the family? Does Family Matter?

President Donald Trump ran on the slogan “Make America Great Again.” But will he succeed? Will anyone succeed? And what about Britain? What happened to the word Great that once preceded the name? Will Britain and the British descended peoples be great again? You can know the answers to these questions with absolute certainty, and the answers may surprise you. These are the questions I’ll answer today on Tomorrow’s World from the pages of the Bible. Yes, that ancient source proclaimed in advance what will happen to the British and American peoples and what we can expect in the very near future.

Is Darwinism Dead? - Presenter: Gerald Weston (TVCA706)

Is Darwinian evolution the fact you’ve been told it is? Or is there reason to doubt Darwin? Many discoveries made over the last half century call into question whether life as we know it could possibly be the result of random chance. And if empirical evidence is not on Darwin’s side, this has serious implications for how we got here, and whether there is a purpose for our existence.

Was Jesus Real - Presenter: Richard F. Ames (TVCA755)

Christianity is a religion unlike any other. The teaching that God sent His only son to earth to live as a human being, without fault and then be put to death by His Father's creation only to rise from the dead three days and nights later is the foundation and defining doctrine of Christianity. Essentially, Christianity is dependent on a second figure whose existence and claims we can investigate. There are many who doubt such a man ever lived, let alone that He is who He claims to be. If they are correct, then Christianity is not only wrong; but entirely baseless. Was Jesus Real?

World War II ended in 1945, more than 70 years ago. To many at the time, the devastating conflict between nations appeared as if the end of the world was near. Is Armageddon again knocking at our door? Will we in this generation experience “the end of the world”? What does your Bible reveal about our future and World War III? Will you be prepared for Armageddon?

Presenter: Gerald Weston - War On the Patriarchy (TVCA705)

Early television portrayed husbands and fathers in a positive light. Consider Ozzie and Harriett and Father Knows Best, for those old enough to remember.  Both men and women were shown positively, but it wasn’t long before sitcoms portrayed men as incompetent, bumbling oafs who needed their wives to save them from themselves.  Men became the butt of all jokes. We see the attack on male culture in academia and in the media in general.  Where is all this leading?
