THE WAY
OF PEACE
Restored Momentarily

A powerful and genuine example of peace was

given to this world for a tiny period of time.
(Was it prophesied in your Bible?) When you see
how people reacted to it, you can understand
why we have no real peace in this evil world.
Nevertheless, we are about to have world peace
in spite of man and his human nature.

and Sinai—the
Mountain of God

L
ook at the list of world leaders Herbert W. 
Armstrong came into contact with, and who
responded warmly to him. They called him an ambas-
sador for world peace. That is a miraculous understanding,
when you realize that he had that kind of an impact on the
leaders of this evil world. It is something I think we need to
pay more attention to.
Mr. Armstrong did restore the way of peace the people of
God. He also, momentarily, restored that to the whole world
as well, I believe. He was part of a project that, if fully
understood, showed the world how to have peace!

A WOR L D P E ACE CE N T E R
One of the most dramatic examples of Mr. Armstrong’s
efforts to promote peace in this world revolved around the
2 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

construction of a world peace center. What truly made this

extraordinary was the fact that it was promoted by perhaps
some of the most unlikely individuals—and at probably
the most significant, profound location it could possibly
inhabit on Earth.
Mr. Armstrong wrote about this peace effort in Quest/81.
This magazine was full of articles about getting the best out
of the human spirit.
“For too long,” Mr. Armstrong wrote, “leaders have dealt
with effects, ignoring the causes of our problems. It is
imperative that they come to a knowledge of the way that
will produce peace. President Anwar L. Sadat of Egypt may
be pointing to that way” (May 1981).
In this article, Mr. Armstrong listed several significant
events that converged in this historic peace initiative.
Among them was Sadat’s visit to Jerusalem, which Mr.
Armstrong called the most incredible peace overture of
modern times. “After four bitter wars against Israel in 30
years, President Anwar el-Sadat did an unheard-of thing!
On November 20, 1977, he declared peace, not war! At
extreme personal danger and unprecedented political risk
the Egyptian president braved a personal visit to Jerusalem
to speak in peace to the Israeli Knesset.
“It was the most sensational overture toward interna-
tional peace made by any head of state in our time!” Mr.
Armstrong wrote. He then detailed the furious opposition
Mr. Sadat faced for making that move. It does require sacri-
fice if we are going to have peace.
These nations were at each other’s throats. Then sud-
denly, this courageous man had a change of heart.
Sadat extended an offer to the Israeli prime minister,
Menachem Begin, who accepted. They had both learned
some lessons. Sadat came before the Knesset and said, “You
would like to live with us in this region of the world, and I
World Peace Center and Sinai—the Mountain of God 3

tell you in all honesty that we welcome you among us.”

Mr. Armstrong called that a “genuine peace offer”! That
was what launched the peace process. But nothing we have
seen since has even come close to the sincerity and praise-
worthiness of that initial effort.
In the past, I have criticized Israel for accepting that
offer from Sadat. But after studying into it more—and par-
ticularly after looking at how Mr. Armstrong responded to
it—I am convinced that this really was a valiant and laud-
able peace effort, and I even believe that, to some degree,
God’s hand was in it.
Sadat went to Jerusalem to declare peace. And it worked
for a short span of time! It worked quite well, right up to
very recently, as far as Egypt and the Jews are concerned.
In this Quest/81 article, Mr. Armstrong wrote about
a specific idea that Sadat had: “He plans to build at the
base of Mount Sinai a world peace center, emblematic of
peace among all nations and religions” (emphasis added
throughout). I would say that idea is pointing in the right
direction, wouldn’t you?
“The concept is unique! A total departure from any
previous peace undertaking,” Mr. Armstrong wrote. This
effort showed these two nations’ “extreme willingness to
give extraordinary sacrifice in the start toward peace in
their region.”
I believe this event helped fulfill a major prophecy in a
dramatic way (Malachi 4:4-6). I’ll explain what I mean in
the next chapter.
The whole world saw and was shocked by the Sadat-
Begin peace initiative. But few understood what it meant.
To understand the true significance of this peace initia-
tive, it’s important to fix in our minds the stunning history
of the location at which this peace center was meant to be
constructed: SINAI, THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD!
4 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

W HER E GOD HIMSELF V ISITED

When God freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, He
brought them through the Red Sea and then led them to
this mountain through a series of awesome miracles. But
of all the miracles He worked, perhaps the most spectac-
ular and earthshaking was when God Himself came down
to Mount Sinai.
What a day! God came down and personally established
the nation of Israel! No nation ever had such a spectacular
beginning. This must have been extremely important!
Today, the nations of Israel have shamefully forgotten
their God. (If you don’t know who these nations are,
request our free book The United States and Britain in
Prophecy.) Many people in the Jewish nation that is called
Israel scoff and ridicule and have terrible things to say
about the God who came down to Mount Sinai.
In Exodus 19, you read about the Israelites camping right
there at that mountain, all 2 to 3 million of them, in a giant
tent city. I have filmed two television programs there. You
can see that there is ample room at that mountain for such
a massive body of people. God had something extremely
special in store for them.
Moses, their leader, went up the mountain and talked to
God! (verse 3). Imagine this unique event! You can’t com-
pare this with anything that has happened at the beginning
of any other nation on Earth!
God gave Moses an agreement to present before the
people. This would make these people a special nation—
God’s nation on Earth. God would be the King, the Ruler,
the Lawmaker. He would be the “parliament” and the
“congress.”
This is spectacular history you would think no nation
would ever give up! Why would anybody let go of
World Peace Center and Sinai—the Mountain of God 5

something so massively impressive and unique? Yet the

modern nations of Israel have done just that—especially
the birthright nations of Britain and America, and the
Jewish scepter nation. No wonder God is so wrathful
toward them.
Here is what God instructed Moses to tell the Israelites:
“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare
you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. Now
therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my cov-
enant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all
people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a
kingdom of priests, and an holy nation” (verses 4-6).
They were to teach and show the world how to have real
peace.
The fact that the Israelites had witnessed so many
miracles already should have moved them to obey God!
And God told them that they were to become a kingdom
of priests, a holy nation! God’s nation! What a covenant
this was. God said, I’m going to give you everything! You’ll
be above everybody! You’ll be the most powerful people on
Earth! What nation could possibly compare with God and
His nation?
Then God gave Israel an unparalleled gift: He spelled
out His eternal spiritual law for them. This was a detailed,
codified form of law that had existed from the beginning,
just like the laws of physics and chemistry. This, though, is
a spiritual law. If we obey it, it brings dazzling blessings—
and if we disobey, it exacts a toll on our lives. This law
distinguished Israel from every other nation on Earth.
This world views God’s law as being harsh and oppres-
sive, and people have done away with it. Look at the suf-
fering in this world because people won’t listen to God!
That law gives people security and protection; it helps
us avoid sorrow, misery, suffering, violence and death; it
6 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

makes us happy and joyful! All good things and blessings

come from God. Look how God blesses His faithful people
today because we keep this wonderful law!
God’s law distinguishes His people from everyone else
on Earth!
Conservatives in the United States often talk about
getting back to our forefathers and the Constitution. That
Constitution had many godly principles built into it, and
certainly a restoration of respect for it would be a move
in the right direction. But that document wouldn’t really
solve America’s problems. In reality, this country needs to
get back to THIS beginning: Israel’s founding as a nation at
Mount Sinai—when God Himself came down and spoke to
the people! That would take the nation back to where its
problems could really be solved! But sadly, our nation has
reached the point of no return, physically. However, it’s not
too late for individuals to respond to God’s message.
Imagine having the leader of your nation PERSON-
ALLY TALK TO GOD! Imagine God’s voice booming out—
revealing the beautiful, living, inexorable law of God!

MEETING W ITH GOD

Moses came down from the mountain and gathered the
elders of Israel together and explained all that God had
told him. “And all the people answered together, and said,
All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses
returned the words of the people unto the Lord” (Exodus
19:8). Moses was happy to return and report to God that
the people were fervently eager to obey. I’m sure Moses was
more optimistic than God was at this point.
God then told Moses that He would come down and
speak so all the people could hear Him. “And the Lord said
unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day
World Peace Center and Sinai—the Mountain of God 7

and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be

ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will
come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai”
(verses 10-11).
The Israelites had to prepare themselves to receive the law
of God. That alone indicates how important this is.
The Israelites had already seen many miracles, but it
had to instill a certain anxiety within them when Moses
told them, In three days God Himself is coming to explain
all of these commandments to you. What would you think
if somebody were to tell you that God, Himself, would be
coming next week? Surely you would have a different kind
of week! I suspect you would be thinking about that, rest-
lessly anticipating it, all week long—not sleeping very well,
perhaps.
“And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that
there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon
the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that
all the people that was in the camp trembled. And Moses
brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God;
and they stood at the nether part of the mount” (verses
16-17). How awesome! How stunning! It is hard to even
imagine! Lightning and thunder—a quaking mountain—and
a dark cloud that enshrouded God, Himself, apparently to
keep them from seeing too much of God and being killed!
This is the way it was in God’s presence!
This was an awfully important day. What a setting to
receive the law of God! What a spectacular introduction to
that law. How important is it to God?
“Can you picture it? I think I can—at least partially,” Mr.
Armstrong wrote later in life. “Years ago—in early winter,
1934—I was driving around the Mt. Hood Loop in Oregon.
Reaching the east of Mt. Hood, there was a spur road
leading to the very base, and partway up the mountain. As
8 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

I reached this spot, a frightening storm developed around

the snow-capped peak just above me. A dark, foreboding
cloud—the darkest I had ever seen—hovered over the top
of the mountain. Lightning flashed, so bright I had to hide
my eyes. Thunderclaps resounded louder, sharper, than any
I had ever heard in Iowa or Nebraska. I drove back down,
away from that storm, as fast as safety would allow. It was
the most frightening, terrifying sight I had ever witnessed.
It seemed to display the magnitude of the very fury of
Almighty God!” Maybe God wanted Mr. Armstrong to have
that experience so he could write about it.
Here was God thundering down from Mount Sinai!
“Imagine that vast sea of people—millions of them—
stretching as far as eye could see!” Mr. Armstrong con-
tinued. “Then terrifying flashes of blinding lightning, and
crashes of thunder that would almost break eardrums! And
the GREAT God, Himself, in the midst of this eye-blinding,
ear-splitting display, preparing to thunder His great law in
the hearing of that vast assemblage!
“No wonder the people were frightened and asked Moses
to stand between them and God!”
With this spectacle, God gave His law that produces
peace—the very law He wanted all mankind to live by—on
that day of Pentecost.
God wants us to remember this history at Mount Sinai!
All that Pentecost history is part of the same picture, going
right back to God giving His law. If we don’t recognize this,
we are going to miss a lot.
After God gave the law and the conditions of the Old
Covenant, He called Moses back up to the mountain to
give him the stone tablets, “that thou mayest teach them”
(Exodus 24:12). Teaching the law is a crucial job for God’s
people. Certainly we teach God’s law of true love and peace
with words—but even more importantly, we teach by our
World Peace Center and Sinai—the Mountain of God 9

example: by being doers of the Word! We are committed

to showing the world how to keep God’s law of peace. We
give away millions of dollars’ worth of literature. We show
people how to bring peace and joy into their marriages and
families, and how to make their spiritual lives successful.
We give through our cultural foundation. We invite this
world into Armstrong Auditorium and strive to give them
the most positive, uplifting and royal experiences we pos-
sibly can. And these efforts do have an impact!
Verse 13 says that Moses went up into “the mount of
God.” The Revised Standard Version and the Moffatt give a
better translation: They call it “the mountain of God.”
“And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like devouring
fire on the top of the [mountain] in the eyes of the children
of Israel. And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and
gat him up into the [mountain]: and Moses was in the
[mountain] forty days and forty nights” (verses 17-18).
Again—what a stunning, spectacular event! What a
phenomenal beginning to a nation!

GOD’ S GLORY
Moses, the man who led Israel to Sinai, asked God to show
him His glory (Exodus 33:18). This man was different from
the rest of the Israelites. He wanted to know God and see
His glory. He couldn’t get enough. So he went right up to
God and asked!
The rest of the Israelites didn’t have that attitude. As
Moses later reminded them, they were afraid at the display
of God’s power at Mount Sinai (Deuteronomy 5:5). “And it
came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of
the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye
came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and
your elders; And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God hath
10 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

shewed us his glory and his greatness …. Now therefore why

should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear
the voice of the Lord our God any more, then we shall die.
For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of
the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we
have, and lived?” (Deuteronomy 5:23-26).
The Israelites recognized that God was showing them “his
glory and his greatness”! Yet they recoiled from that. God
has shown His glory and greatness to His people today in
so many ways. We have a strong personal connection with
the great God of Mount Sinai! But those Israelites actually
heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire—
and they didn’t like it. They demanded that Moses serve as
their intermediary so they wouldn’t have to deal directly
with God.
What did God think about that? He lamented, “O that
there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me,
and keep all my commandments always, that it might be
well with them, and with their children for ever!” (verse
29). But they rejected God’s law of peace and happiness.
Imagine what would have happened to the Israelites
had they heeded—even by the letter of the law—what God
said! They didn’t have God’s Spirit, but here was a voice
coming out of this mountain that was on fire because of
God’s presence! He spoke with them face to face—but they
didn’t want that. They wanted Moses to talk to them.
Except Joshua and Caleb, all the adults died in the
wilderness because of their rebellion. Today, most of God’s
own people are rebelling in the wilderness, and that ancient
history is a monumental warning to them that their eternal
lives are at stake.
People today are still terribly confused about this truth.
Most everybody calls the law that God gave—the Ten
Commandments—Moses’s law. What a satanic lie that is!
World Peace Center and Sinai—the Mountain of God 11

This has nothing to do with a man! God, Himself, spoke

on Mount Sinai and gave those commandments! “These
words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount
out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick
darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he
wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto
me” (verse 22). God gave a complete law there! He wrote
the commandments with His own finger, and He didn’t add
anything else. (Ritualistic and ceremonial laws, as well as
sacrifices, were later added because of the transgression of
this covenant). The law of God is complete! It’s the final
word! It came from God! It’s not the law of Moses or any
other man. Don’t get confused! This is the law from the great
Lawgiver who personally came down to Sinai, the mountain
of God!
Today we are writing these laws into our minds and
hearts so we can be the people of God (Jeremiah 31:33)!
Those laws teach us who our God is, and they enable us to
give to the world as God wants us to give. God gives us His
Spirit, and He lives in us, so that we can love and give and
serve according to His law just as He does!
We teach His law of peace. For further study on this
wonderful law, request a free copy of our booklet The Ten
Commandments.

ELIJA H V ISITS T HE
MOU N TA I N OF G OD
Mount Sinai provides the setting for another important epi-
sode in history, this one involving the Prophet Elijah.
Elijah had performed many great miracles and destroyed
the ministers of Baal. His actions infuriated Jezebel so
much that she determined to kill him. When word of her
12 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

intentions reached Elijah, he became fearful and discour-

aged. What did God do to turn his attitude around? He
sent him on a journey—to Horeb, or Sinai, the mountain of
God (1 Kings 19:7-8). God even had him fast for 40 days and
nights, just as He had Moses do.
God directed Elijah to stand on that mountain. Then He
sent a tremendous stormy wind that actually shook and
shattered the rocks. But, the Scripture says, God was not
in the wind. Then He sent a mighty earthquake. But God
wasn’t in the earthquake either. Then came a fire, but God
was not in the fire.
“[A]nd after the fire,” it says, there came “a still small
voice” (verses 11-12). That was how God revealed Himself
in this instance.
It doesn’t make any difference whether you hear God’s
own voice thundering from Mount Sinai—or you hear the
still, small voice today through God’s messages and His
Word: It is still the same God of Mount Sinai!
God sent Elijah to Mount Sinai to give him some per-
spective. There He showed him just how ridiculous it was
to be afraid of a pitiful woman like Jezebel. There is no
comparison between her and the God of Mount Sinai!
What an important lesson for God’s people today to
remember. We have nothing to fear! After all, we serve
the God who came down to Sinai, the mountain of God!
Sometimes we lose perspective; sometimes we forget who
we are. Sometimes we fail to remember who our God is!
Then we have to go back to Mount Sinai—really study what
happened there when God began His physical nation—and
realize that we have nothing to worry about. We are God’s
spiritual nation today, and we can, and must, understand
this reality far better than the Israelites did anciently.
In Malachi 4:4, God thunders to His people today,
“Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I
World Peace Center and Sinai—the Mountain of God 13

commanded unto him in Horeb [or Sinai] for all Israel, with
the statutes and judgments” (Malachi 4:4). This admoni-
tion is directed at us! God tells us to remember not only
the law—but also the setting, and how the people of Israel
received that law on Mount Sinai. Don’t forget that! We
must keep God in the picture—the God who gave the law
on Mount Sinai—or we will become afraid, and we will run
from Jezebel or somebody who has power like that.
We should be able to see the spiritual splendor, the fire
and thunder and lightning, the spectacle, of God speaking
to His people today—just as surely as the Israelites saw it
with their eyes anciently. This is how it is when you’re close
to God. He directly guides His people—and He is about to
direct this whole world!

D E C L A R I N G T H E FAT H E R
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the
coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And
he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and
the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and
smite the earth with a curse” (Malachi 4:5-6). What does
that “old, harsh” law of God produce? CHILDREN AND
FATHERS WITH THEIR HEARTS TURNED TO EACH
OTHER. MARVELOUS, LOVING FAMILIES! That is what
the law is really about: creating the very Family of God!
Nothing can compare with the beautiful, peace-making
Family of God.
Families who keep God’s law are unique on this Earth—
and this is something that people notice. Our children are
not like children in the world. They behave themselves,
and they obey, and they listen, and they’re happy and full
of joy and life! Do you realize how beautiful that is to God?
What an honor we have to represent God, and to reflect
14 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

some of His glory, in this way.

Many people would consider it “male chauvinism” that
this scripture speaks of fathers and doesn’t specifically
mention mothers. But the fact is, God the Father is at the
heart of everything—and He is trying to direct His chil-
dren’s hearts to Him (Malachi 1:6)! He is the Head of the
spiritual Family, and He has commanded that the father be
the head of the physical family. That is how a godly family
is structured, and that is where our focus should be. Satan
wants to tear that structure apart more than anything! But
any family that does things God’s way is going to bear
beautiful fruit and experience untold blessings.
By contrast, the Prophet Malachi warns of a time when
his people don’t honor the Father (Malachi 1:6), and they
are shamefully wandering in the wilderness, in danger of
dying forever. The “curse” of Malachi 4:6 is talking about
eternal death! Malachi 4:1 says they will be ripped out, root
and branch.
The Jews thought verse 6 was such a harsh ending to
the Old Testament that they traditionally read verse 4
again after that. That mentality—that willingness to simply
water down God’s Word, to soften the warning—has put
the Jewish people in a position today where they face anni-
hilation! We have to tell them what that God says He is
going to do! What they are about to face is going to be a lot
harder to accept than the warning of Malachi 4:6!
This, then, was the spectacular setting of the world
peace center proposed by the leader of Egypt, and supported
by God’s leader, Mr. Armstrong: the mountain of God! It
was the very location at which God gave the law that will
one day soon lead this whole world to peace!

The Way of
Peace Restored
Momentarily

I
n April of 1994, the plane of the president of Rwanda
was shot down. The president’s assassination sparked a
violent reaction among the radical Hutus, who went on a
horrific killing spree, murdering members of the Tutsi tribe
and even the more peaceful Hutus.
Within just a few months, somewhere between half a
million and a million people were killed. It was one of the
worst tragedies in modern times.
Most of those people were hacked to death with
machetes. Dead bodies were strewn all over that small
country. Some of the people could hardly believe it was
real. They’d been in relative peace, and then suddenly their
lives became a horrifying nightmare.
That gives you an idea of how crazy this world is and
how quickly it can descend into a cauldron of violence!
16 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

Imagine your country changing like that so suddenly! One

day you are meeting with people, and the next day they are
killing you! In Rwanda, it happened overnight! The presi-
dent was killed, and the next day, thugs started hacking
people to death in unfathomable numbers.
Frankly, the Bible prophesies that conditions will get far
worse in the nations of Israel than they were in Rwanda!
In the face of such problems—considering the existence
of nation-threatening weapons today and the violent hos-
tility bubbling up within whole populations in our world—
you would think people would be scrambling to find some
kind of a peace plan that would really work! Human civili-
zation faces the very real threat of annihilation! This world
desperately needs real peace.
Herbert W. Armstrong actually showed this world
a peace plan that does work: the way of God, and God’s
law—the way of give versus the way of get. He taught
about that way throughout his life, even taking the mes-
sage of that way personally to kings and other leaders of
nations all over the Earth.
On top of that, Mr. Armstrong personally endorsed a
human-plane peace pact that was very different from any
other plan for peace out there. It was the Camp David
Accords and other peace initiatives between Anwar Sadat of
Egypt and Menachem Begin of Israel.
What Mr. Armstrong saw in the Sadat-Begin peace pact
was unique. An Arab leader, a Muslim, President Sadat,
extended a genuine offer of peace to Prime Minister Begin
at great personal risk in 1977. These two met at Camp
David along with American President Jimmy Carter—who
was of yet another religion—and signed an agreement that
kept peace for more than 30 years between Egypt and
Israel—two nations that had previously been at each other’s
throats!
The Way of Peace Restored Momentarily 17

This was a peace plan based on mutual goodwill and sac-

rifice, and it was endorsed by God’s leader. Mr. Armstrong
was involved in an inspiring way. In fact, I believe God
engineered a lot of that to teach this world a lesson.
God’s leader was deeply involved in the Sinai peace pact,
I’m absolutely convinced, because God was there. That peace
plan was different than any other between the Jews and the
Arab world.

THE SONS OF ABR AH AM

Islam, Judaism and Christianity all look upon Moses as a
great ancestral prophet. It seems that fact alone should
give these three religions some room for agreement and
cooperation.
Jews and Christians also believe God actually came
down to Mount Sinai and gave the Ten Commandments,
which, even if they don’t obey, they still profess to be an
important part of their religion. Many people believe God
Himself literally came to that mountain and wrote those Ten
Commandments on tablets of stone with His very finger!
Anwar Sadat wanted to build a peace monument at the
base of that mountain! The architectural plans were pre-
sented to the world.
Did you realize that the origin of the Arab-Jew dispute
goes back to Abraham? Sarah thought she couldn’t have a
child, and she became so impatient that she encouraged
Abraham to have a child with her handmaid Hagar. As sin
always does, this sin produced hostility and contention
within the family. When Hagar became pregnant, Sarah
grew intensely envious, and hatred began to build.
Hagar gave birth to Ishmael, and he had 12 sons, who
multiplied and flourished to become the modern Arabs.
Meanwhile, the promises given to Abraham were handed
18 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

down to Isaac and then to Jacob, who also had 12 sons,

and God bestowed the birthright blessings upon Joseph
and his descendants, and the scepter promises to Judah, or
the modern Jews. All the enmity and violence between the
Arabs and Jews had its genesis there within Abraham’s family!
The three peoples represented at the Camp David talks all
descended from Abraham, and the three dominant religions
all originated among those descendants. If you look at their
history, it’s plain that none of these peoples have been acting
like sons of Abraham! That great man taught his chil-
dren in the way of God, and to keep the law of God (e.g.
Genesis 18:19). But these peoples mostly show CONTEMPT
for God’s law today. That is why they cannot have peace
among themselves!
Considering the hate among these religions and peoples,
the efforts Anwar Sadat made to seek reconciliation were
truly remarkable.
What a sacrifice this man made! Virtually the entire
Arab world harbored intense hatred for the Jews. Yet Sadat
traveled right to the heart of the Jewish state and spoke
to the Knesset in Jerusalem. Perhaps he didn’t fully realize
how much hostility that move would create, but from that
point forward he was a marked man. He had an ambulance
following everywhere he drove because he knew a lot of
people wanted to kill him. His trip to Jerusalem even trig-
gered assassinations of other Egyptian dignitaries.
Is that not a sacrifice for peace? This man was most
unusual. Anwar Sadat became one of a few great leaders in
this world. He sacrificed his life for true peace. That is the
sign of a great leader!
How many such men do you see in this world?
In 1979, the shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, was exiled from
his own nation; Ayatollah Khomeini ousted him and killed
all his generals and other officials. Nobody wanted to allow
The Way of Peace Restored Momentarily 19

the exiled shah into their country—but President Sadat

stepped up and invited him to come to Egypt. That was
where Shah Pahlavi lived out the rest of his days. Sadat
brazenly defied the ayatollah and Iran!
If only someone would stand up in the spirit of Sadat
and do the same today!
President Sadat told Mike Wallace in a television inter-
view on 60 Minutes that the ayatollah was a maniac. Shortly
thereafter, he was assassinated.
Anwar Sadat certainly did sacrifice for peace.
Prime Minister Begin also had to sacrifice a great deal.
He gave up the Sinai Peninsula, which meant a lot to the
Jews. Not only did it have fundamental religious signifi-
cance, but it also held some wealth in its oil fields, and it
improved Israel’s security. So it, too, was quite a sacrifice.

A NOBL E E F FORT FOR P E ACE

Mr. Armstrong praised the Camp David Accords and the
courage of the men behind them. He also threw his sup-
port behind a subsequent plan of President Sadat’s, to build
a “World Peace Center” at the base of Mount Sinai.
The plan to erect a monument to peace among all
nations and religions was an admirable step in the right
direction, in keeping with the spirit of God’s law of peace.
Mr. Armstrong wrote about it in the magazine Quest/81.
“The concept is unique! A total departure from any previous
peace undertaking,” he wrote. This effort showed these two
nations’ “extreme willingness to give extraordinary sacrifice
in the start toward peace in their region.”
It takes extreme sacrifice to achieve real peace.
The magazine included an artist’s drawing of the pro-
posed edifice, and it had a church building, a mosque and
a synagogue.
20 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

Herbert Armstrong meets with Egyptian President Anwar

Sadat, a man who came to understand the importance of
peace.

When Mr. Armstrong—God’s leader—heard of Sadat’s

proposal, he immediately donated a hundred thousand dol-
lars, as down payment on a total pledge of one million
dollars. Can you imagine that?
Obviously Mr. Armstrong knew they weren’t going to
solve the problems and have peace in the world. He knew
the prophecies—that this world will end violently, and true
peace can only be achieved once the Prince of Peace comes.
Still, he did all he could to represent peace and to promote
peace in this world, and he demonstrated his strong desire
that all men work toward that end today.
God’s leader saw real vision in this project, and saw
what it could do to point people in this world toward real
peace.
President Sadat’s thoughts on the peace center are
quite inspiring. “It will be a living symbol of the brother-
hood of man, a lighthouse that will rekindle the spirit of
The Way of Peace Restored Momentarily 21

Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin warmly greets

Mr. Armstrong in 1978.

coexistence and tolerance among nations,” he said when

he announced the project. “As we look at the world today,
we realize the great need for a reminder of the oneness of
human destiny and the continuation of the divine mission,
which is in essence, a great act of mercy. This monument
must light the path of the generations yet to come.”
What a noble plan in this ignoble world!
I believe this project was special because God’s leader
was a part of it. What other peace agreement have you ever
heard about that is comparable to this? This was huge! Mr.
Armstrong saw that, and he wanted to encourage President
Sadat in these efforts. He was called the ambassador for
world peace without portfolio. He really was a man of
peace! He knew how to have peace! And he knew that Sadat
was on to something really big in this world. I believe
Mr. Armstrong’s involvement was God’s way of saying, This
22 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

is an act of peace by a true peacemaker. You need to support

him and help him and be a part of this. Leave that at least as
an example. And what an example Anwar Sadat was to the
world, and Mr. Armstrong as well.
During the world to come, God is going to force the
Egyptians to come up to Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:17-19). At
that time, they’re going to recognize what Mr. Armstrong
saw: that Anwar Sadat was a great man.
What is a great man? Putting your nation above yourself
as he did is greatness! You don’t have many examples like
that in the world. Sadat changed wars between two nations
into peace. Mr. Begin did too, although he had less to sacri-
fice than Anwar Sadat did, in my estimation. But it was all
endorsed by God’s apostle.

QUEST’S TROUBLE W IT H
MR. AR MSTRONG
In its January 12, 1981, issue, Newsweek magazine wrote
about Mr. Armstrong’s dealings with Quest—a publication
that he himself had established.
“From the first stirrings of Quest magazine four years ago
editor Robert Shnayerson has insisted that his bimonthly
about ‘the pursuit of excellence’ had full editorial inde-
pendence of its unlikely sponsor, the Worldwide Church
of God, an organization that prophesies the imminent end
of the world,” Newsweek wrote. That is a terrible mischar-
acterization of Mr. Armstrong’s work—as if that is all he
ever talked about. In truth, he prophesied of the imminent
beginning of the world of God! But Newsweek hardly
holds an unbiased view of God’s man.
It continued, “But the church’s founder and elder
prophet, Herbert W. Armstrong, is a man who has thrown
The Way of Peace Restored Momentarily 23

his own son out of his church ….” Newsweek doesn’t men-

tion, of course, that his son was trying to take over the
Church—and would have, had Mr. Armstrong allowed him
to stay.
Newsweek then said that Mr. Armstrong’s actions con-
vinced Shnayerson and his top five staffers to quit. Here
is why: “The first open sign of the upheaval came when
the 88-year-old Armstrong took out a crusading full-page
newspaper ad, of the kind he publishes from time to time.
This one, in the Wall Street Journal, addressed the Arab-
Israeli crisis under a typically high-voltage headline (a
voice cries out … peace out of conflict??). But at the end
of the ad, he struck a different note. ‘I suggest,’ he wrote,
‘you read my cover story in Quest/81 … on the Middle East
controversy, its origin and President Sadat’s planned World
Peace Center.’
“For the Quest editors, the Journal ad signaled defeat in
a battle that had begun early last month, when the maga-
zine received an unsolicited 3,000-word article in the mail.
According to Shnayerson, the article was an idiosyncratic
account of the origins of strife in the Middle East, which
also lavished praise on Egyptian President Anwar Sadat’s
proposed peace center at the base of Mount Sinai. Riddled
with exclamation points and written in a hortatory style, it
was the kind of piece, Shnayerson says, that he would have
rejected routinely—except that its author happened to be
Armstrong.”
You know what hortatory means, right? Well, I didn’t; I
had to go to the dictionary, and frankly I don’t even think
the dictionary really knew. It had just two words to explain
it, and one was exhort—but I think it should be stronger
than that, looking at the root word.
Nevertheless, too bad for the editors that article was
written by Mr. Armstrong. It was about bringing peace to the
24 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

world! Anwar Sadat had put his life on the line—and these
intellectuals said, Well, I don’t care if it is bringing peace to
the world. I would never accept an article with that hortatory
style! If you’ve read Mr. Armstrong, you know that style.
Incidentally, that editor changed the article and made it
like the rest of them. It was monotone—with no exclama-
tion points, no italics, no small caps—in order to please
other intellectuals.
This world is about to explode into World War iii, and
here was a man, Anwar Sadat, who made a peace effort in
a grandiose way, and made himself a target in doing so. At
a time when the number one problem was and still is human
survival, you would think people would be scurrying to
find ANY peace plan that might avert that GREATEST of
all tragedies, the snuffing out of all human life. But such
things mean nothing to the great intellectuals! How do
you explain that? Such is the state of intellectualism in this
country and in most of the modern nations of Israel.
Soon after, the wcg put Quest magazine up for sale.
The New York Times said this about it: “According to Mr.
Shnayerson, the decision to sell Quest was probably has-
tened by the departure of the editors, which came after they
were ordered to run Mr. Armstrong’s positive article about
the plans of President Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt to build a
peace center in the Sinai. The article ran in the May issue”
(April 23, 1981). They recognized it was a “positive article”—
but the Quest editors thought its style was ridiculous and
wanted nothing to do with it!
How can you ever bring peace to such people? Such crazy
reasoning would get every person on Earth killed before
they would listen to a peace plan endorsed by God! They
don’t recognize just how serious the dangers in our world
are. God is going to have to come and rule them with a rod
of iron! That is the only way to bring peace to this world!
The Way of Peace Restored Momentarily 25

P R E LU DE TO WOR L D P E ACE
Mr. Armstrong wrote an article in the Plain Truth maga-
zine that was even stronger than the one in Quest. He titled
the February 1981 article “Mount Sinai, Jerusalem Now
Foreshadow World Peace.”
The subheading read, “Is it possible? Events of the
eighties at Mount Sinai and Jerusalem are an actual prelude
to soon-coming world peace!”
In this article Mr. Armstrong wrote about how the
Middle East was a boiling cauldron of evil. “Yet out of
the present emotional flare-up emerges now a prelude to
final global peace for the first time since mankind has
inhabited the Earth!” he wrote. He said that the events
surrounding these peace efforts were “of major signifi-
cance to the whole world.”
These are remarkable statements! A prelude is an intro-
ductory action or event preceding and preparing for the
principle or more important matter. That peace center was
a prelude to WORLD PEACE! This was a witness to all
of them! It was a practical plan. Sadat and Begin made
a choice and decided to sacrifice almost everything for
it. Everyone involved had a good attitude toward Mount
Sinai.
Mr. Armstrong continued: “President Sadat showed me
architect’s renderings of his historic projected World Peace
Center at the base of Mount Sinai. Amazingly, this is an
actual prelude to soon-coming world peace! Mr. Sadat
invited my participation in this peace project.”
That small slice of history left us a vision of imminent
peace in this world. We are about to have peace fill this
Earth, which has a bloody history of warfare.
The Sadat-Begin-Armstrong peace project left us a mes-
sage of soaring hope in a hopeless world!
26 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

Why was Mr. Armstrong invited to be a part of this plan?

You would think almost anybody but the leader of a small
group would be—yet God’s leader was.
This violent reaction to a plan of genuine peace illus-
trates why this evil world doesn’t have peace. You can also
see why people must suffer horrendously before God can
ever teach them the way of peace!

MOU NT SINA I
After then describing the Camp David talks, Mr. Armstrong
wrote about the planned peace center. “Both the center,
and its Mount Sinai location are dually symbolic of peace.
I’m honored to have a part in it,” he wrote.
This was a dual symbol of world peace! Together, they
made it one of the greatest peace plans ever! The planners
were going to build this peace center right at the base of
Mount Sinai where God came down personally and estab-
lished peace in Israel and showed the Israelites how to have
peace. That was where God made a marriage covenant with
Israel! God married a nation, and He showed the world
how to have peace, prosperity and everything good you
can imagine on a human level. How significant that loca-
tion was! All three religions that were to be represented
there look upon Moses as a prophet, even though they are
unwilling to do what he said!
“It is especially significant that this World Peace Center
is to be constructed at the base of Mount Sinai, for there it
has a meaning it could not have anywhere else on Earth,” Mr.
Armstrong continued. “It was atop Mount Sinai that God
gave to Israel and the world—written on tablets of stone
with the finger of God—the ten broad principles of peace
and universal well-being and abundance!” What marvelous
history! And Mr. Armstrong spent considerable time in this
Artist’s rendering of the World Peace Center as proposed
to be situated at the foot of Mount Sinai.
28 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

article explaining how God’s law, given at Mount Sinai—the

way of give—leads to peace.
Mr. Armstrong wrote, “The world has been deceived!
But now in God’s nations, Britain and the United States, we
see moves toward peace. In Israel and Egypt, through their
courageous two leaders, there is a turning toward the way
of peace!
“So what is the significance of the peace center at the
base of Mount Sinai?
Those Ten Commandments were for all mankind. This
law has been in effect since man was created! This is a law
made for man and for how he should live, and if you violate
that law, whether today or at any time throughout history,
that sin will take its toll, just as surely as the law of gravity.
Mr. Armstrong understood more deeply the true signifi-
cance of Mount Sinai, the mountain of God. How remark-
able that Sadat planned to build the center right there at
the base of that mountain!
“Now, at its base, as a result of Prime Minister Menachem
Begin and Israel ‘giving’ back this area to Egypt, and the cou-
rageous initiative of President Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt, this
peace center at Mount Sinai’s base will stand as a prelude
to soon-coming world peace!” Mr. Armstrong concluded.
“This peace center will not, of itself, bring that peace. The
Messiah will! But this peace center is emblematic of it, and
as a result of moving in the direction of peace instead of
war by these two Middle East leaders, it foreshadows or
becomes a prelude to the world peace that is as sure as the
rising of tomorrow’s sun!”
In this end time, when mankind faces human annihila-
tion—Rwanda multiplied 10,000 times over!—God gave
the world a practical example through Mr. Armstrong of
how to have peace!
Whether the world accepted it or not, it was still a sign of
The Way of Peace Restored Momentarily 29

what is coming and what God is about to bring to this Earth.

You and I must expand our minds to think more like
Mr. Armstrong! He saw this for what it really was. He really
did restore the way of peace to God’s people and—momen-
tarily—led Sadat and Begin in getting that message to the
whole world. God was involved in that effort because His
human leader was a part of it. Nobody else understood the
depth of what it meant as he did!

A S S A S S I N AT I O N
Of course, Satan remembered Sinai, too. He hasn’t for-
gotten; he knows all about Sinai, and he hated what Anwar
Sadat was doing! That peace plan really stirred his hatred.
Satan loves the way of war and hates the way of peace.
He didn’t want something like that to take hold, and he
destroyed it very quickly.
On October 6, 1981, Egypt was having its annual victory
parade to celebrate Egypt’s crossing of the Suez Canal in
the 1973 Yom Kippur War. President Sadat was there. He
was offered military escort, but he refused; he said, No—I
don’t need it, and I don’t want it. These are my sons. His
enemies—including members of the Muslim Brotherhood,
the very organization getting control of Egypt today—knew
this, and they had it all carefully planned. Some Egyptian
Air Force Mirage jets flew down very low, and they were
so loud it was difficult to hear anything. At that moment a
group of men led by one of Sadat’s own lieutenants jumped
out of one of the military trucks. The lieutenant, rather
than saluting his president, threw three grenades at him,
and the other men fired assault rifles.
Within hours, the wounded Sadat was pronounced dead.
It was all professionally planned and precisely timed.
Mr. Sadat should have known better, but apparently he
30 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

didn’t have such loyal sons as he thought.

The same was also true of Herbert W. Armstrong.
God allowed Sadat to be killed and that peace center
to die. If nothing else, this gave the world a condemning
example of how it hates the way of peace even on a letter-
of-the-law level. What a witness against it!
It is not easy to implement God’s way of peace. And it is
the only way for man to ever have peace.

T H I S WOR L D N E E DS P E ACE!
When you look at examples like Rwanda, the people who
experience such nightmares have scarred minds. It was so
horrifying they can’t even explain it! To this day, many of
them can’t talk about it without crying their eyes out! And
even today, those two tribes are finding it difficult to rec-
oncile with each other because they simply can’t erase the
nightmares from their memories. Those people need the
Spirit of God to heal their minds—and soon God is going
to give it to them.
As that tragedy unfolded, the United Nations and the
world sat back and did nothing. What a terrible world it is
that would sit back and just let such atrocities happen! That
tells you a lot about this world. Mr. Armstrong was present
when the charter of the UN was developed in 1945. That
organization was called the world’s last hope for peace. It was
urgent—this was the world’s “last hope”! Mr. Armstrong
watched it all happen, and interviewed some of the par-
ticipants—and he was stunned at how selfishly competitive
that process was behind the scenes. He said he’d never seen
such savage infighting, such effort by individuals to get and
take all they could out of it, in any organization in his life!
Considering how the UN began, is it any wonder it is
such a broken institution today? Many people should be
The Way of Peace Restored Momentarily 31

able to prophesy the end of this wretched beginning!

This world is filled with such terrible examples. You
had the prime minister of Britain negotiating with Adolf
Hitler to dismember Czechoslovakia—and then waving
a little piece of paper and announcing to the frenzied
British crowds, This is peace in our time! And war began
almost immediately! The same type of thinking plagues the
nations of Israel today.
Truly, as the Prophet Isaiah said, “The way of peace they
know not”! (Isaiah 59:8).
After Sadat was assassinated, Mr. Armstrong looked
to Hosni Mubarak to carry on with the planned peace
center, and said he would maintain his support for it. But
somehow the project broke down. Mr. Mubarak didn’t
follow up as he should have and as God’s leader had hoped.
Mr. Armstrong believed Mubarak simply may not have
been strong enough to carry on as Sadat did.
It really does take a commitment to sacrifice and giving
to bring peace, whether it be between nations, or family.
Anybody can let a marriage or a family fall apart. It takes
strength and power to cling to the way of peace! It takes
the very strength and power of God to sustain that way!
God really showed Mr. Armstrong deeply how to have
world peace. But we must understand that if we’re going
to have world peace, it must begin in our lives individu-
ally. God’s people are about to teach the world that way—
which means that we ourselves must be at peace. We must
have peaceful marriages, peaceful families—by applying
the Ten Commandments that were given on Mount Sinai
by the great God. We have to set an example for this
world to see the way of peace.
Recently one man told me, “I just can’t see how you can
do this incredible work without even asking for money.”
Well, if you analyze that, it ought to tell you where the God
32 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

of peace is! Why ask people for money if you have the God
of Mount Sinai supporting you? That’s all you need!
Of course, God says His people must tithe and give
offerings. Why? Because GIVING is the way of peace! We
give to the world! We give to the community! And we work
hard to do that because of God’s peace plan and those Ten
Commandments that bring us all together.
That is our responsibility. What happens if God’s people
aren’t living that way of peace first?
During the 1970s, the WCG began to have some serious
problems, and thousands of people left. At one point, Mr.
Armstrong was in the Philippines, about to deliver the
gospel message to large groups of people, and he abruptly
had to cancel his plans in order to rush back to the head-
quarters in Pasadena to deal with a frightful insurrection
among the ministry! Just as he was preaching peace to the
world, he had to stop that in order to restore peace to God’s
people! The people of God were at war—to their own
shame! They were warring against what God’s leader was
teaching them right out of the Bible!

E N D -T I M E E L I J A H
Let’s look at Malachi 4 again, which points to a strong con-
nection between Mr. Armstrong and Mount Sinai. Verse 4
reads, “Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which
I commanded unto him in Horeb [or Mount Sinai] for all
Israel, with the statutes and judgments.”
God tells us to remember the law given at Mount Sinai.
The law is spiritual and Mount Sinai is physical.
So there is duality here.
How does God cause us to remember? He reveals the
spiritual law to a man and has him proclaim it to the world.
Mount Sinai is physical and God gave us a vivid picture
The Way of Peace Restored Momentarily 33

of it through the Sadat-Begin peace pact. As we proclaim

God’s law and teach about the mountain of God, it helps
all of us remember the law and its Source. Mr. Armstrong’s
message about the Sinai peace pact helps mightily in ful-
filling Malachi 4:4! Our message today continues to fulfill
that prophecy.
God is giving the world every opportunity to remember.
What a brilliant picture we were given through all the
events surrounding Sadat’s sacrifice and assassination, tied
to the Sinai peace pact.
What a witness it was to the world!
We are in a period of time just before “the great and
dreadful day of the Lord.” God is about to give us peace
forever, but it is preceded by the worst suffering ever on
this planet. God wants us to remember and escape the time
of Jacob’s trouble and the Day of the Lord. However, most
people just scorn God’s warning message.
There is another duality in Malachi 4:4. The law was
given to the people of ancient Israel. They did not have
God’s Holy Spirit, so it was all on a letter-of-the-law level.
The whole nation rebelled except for a few leaders.
Verse 4 is a prophecy for end-time, spiritual Israel.
Those with the Holy Spirit keep the spirit of the law. Most
of spiritual Israel also rebelled. That is what the book of
Malachi is about. However, there is a little remnant that
did remember. They deliver God’s message, including the
message of the Mount Sinai peace pact.
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the
coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he
shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the
heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite
the earth with a curse” (verses 5-6).
Here God speaks of an Elijah type in the context of
Moses at Mount Sinai. Mr. Armstrong was, in fact, a
34 THE WAY OF PEACE RESTORED MOMENTARILY

type of Moses! He established the law that was given at

Mount Sinai! He helped God create beautiful, peace-loving
families and marriages, and a work that was unparalleled
perhaps ever on Earth! He lived like Moses, and he believed
in and taught the law that God gave Moses.
God tells us here to remember that law—the way of
peace. We do that by keeping it. Obeying that law of peace
turns parents and children toward each other. That is truly
a beautiful thing to witness within a family—and you only
see it where people are keeping that law. Just look at the
fruits it produces! It is a family-building law, whether in
the physical family or God’s Family! That law turns you and
your children to God the Father.
Notice: This prophecy talks about a man who would
show the world this way of peace—and puts it in the con-
text of Mount Sinai and “the great and dreadful day of the
Lord”! That’s a warning about what is coming because of
man’s lawlessness!
Only Herbert W. Armstrong taught God’s law to this
world! He was also the man who taught us the meaning
of the Mount Sinai peace pact. Who else was qualified to
do so?
Mr. Armstrong was also a type of Elijah. Only he taught
us who and what God is, as Elijah did.
He has come and gone. That shows us how near we are
to the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord!
When you tie all this together, it is obvious why he was
the most significant part of the Mount Sinai peace pact.
He taught us how to bring unity and peace into the family.
We know that families are the backbone of strong nations.
His instruction about the Sadat-Begin peace pact was “a
prelude to global peace” or peace in the family of man.
He was “the voice crying out in the wilderness” of reli-
gious and political confusion (Isaiah 40).
The Way of Peace Restored Momentarily 35

Momentarily he spearheaded an example of genuine

peace to this world. Only he could explain what it all
meant. And he did so to people around the world.

‘ T H E M T H AT M A K E P E A C E ’
Don’t the nations today need peace? Can you even imagine
living through a nightmare like the people of Rwanda
endured? Soon, all those who don’t go to a place of safety
will be able to imagine it—because they are going to live
through something far worse!
I truly believe that, for a moment, Mr. Armstrong really
did restore the way of peace to this Earth! He knew the way
of peace, and he knew and taught about the God of Mount
Sinai. If you bring this God into your life, you will have
peace! If you have all parties looking to this God, how could
you not have unity and joy?
Mr. Armstrong taught the world the way of peace, and it
was and still is a prelude to world peace! Not just peace for
one church or one state or one nation—God is about to bring
WORLD PEACE! What a beautiful thing that is!
If we are going to reap the fruit of righteousness, we must
sow in peace. That is exactly what Mr. Armstrong did, and
what he showed us and the whole world how to do. The more
I look at this example, the more impressed I am.
Mr. Armstrong showed us, and showed the world, the
way of peace. Just look at the fruits! He brought peace to the
God’s people, and momentarily, he brought it to this world.
What an example.
It won’t be long before he and Mr. Sadat will be together
again. This time they will be teaching and practicing the way
of peace, and saying, “Oh, how I love God’s law!” What a
wonderful time we have to look forward to—and it’s almost
here. Be aware of just how soon that peace will fill this Earth!
