DR
RICK SHERROD, PhD
PRESENTING A
SERIES OF TALKS ON
During
DR. RICK SHERROD's years in the field ministry, he began an
extensive and sustained investigation of the origins of the Anglo-Saxon people.
Drawing from his background as a research scholar in Modern British History (Ph.
D., Michigan State University, 1980) and his extensive travels through both the
British Isles and the Middle East, he laid the foundation for a series of
presentations on "Israel in Prophecy: Who and Where Are the Lost Ten
Tribes?"
DR.
RICK SHERROD travels frequently on the weekends, making Sabbath-day visits to church
congregations throughout the United States. His typical inaugural visit includes
a morning hour and a half long sermon on "The Promise to Abraham and
Principles of Interpreting Prophecy," followed by a two hour and fifteen
minute bible study/slide show on "The 40 Pivotal Years." The latter
presentation explores the critical period of 1775-1815 A. D., a time during
which the foundation for the Anglo-American world dominance of the last two
centuries was laid. He has also visited various churches to present his bible
study/slide show "A Company of Nations," examining the remarkable rise
of the British Empire. He has also written indepth theses and papers on the
subject.
Rick
Sherrod is a long-time member of the Church of God and has served in the
ministry since 1986. During the mid-1980s, he worked at the church's world
headquarters where he taught and served as the principal of Imperial Schools
(grades 7-12) before taking a position in the field ministry in the
South-eastern United States (1986-1989). He has also worked with church youth
for more than a decade, not only in Youth Opportunities United and Youth
Educational Services offices, but as a central member of the Summer Educational
Program staff in Orr, Minnesota where he served as Assistant Camp Director from
1986-1989.
In
1990, Dr. Sherrod became a faculty member at Ambassador University where he
taught history courses, including Western Civilisation, Ancient Israel, the
History of England, Modern European History, Renaissance and Reformation, and
Introduction to Middle Eastern Archaeology. He also taught U. S. history survey
at Tyler Junior College, and American During the World Wars at the University of
Texas at Tyler. When the consolidation of the Ambassador campuses occurred in
the summer of 1990, Dr. Sherrod moved from Pasadena, California to Big Sandy,
Texas where he served as associate professor of history and history department
chair for the following six academic years.
Sherrod's
bible study/slide shows explore the connection between the modern British and
American people and the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel from antiquity. Presentations
will cover: the Abrahamic Covenant; the history of the idea of
British-Israelism; the Hermeneutics of prophecy; the captivity of the Northern
Kingdom at the hands of the Assyrians; the migrations of post-8th century B. C.
Israel; the "Seven Times" of Leviticus 26; the slow rise of the
Anglo-Saxon people from 1066 to 1775; the critical 40 years of 1775-1815; the
separation of Ephraim and Manasseh into the two greatest nations of the 19th and
20th centuries (Gen. 48); the economic fulfilment of the Gen. 49 prophecies
relevant to the modern-day descendants of Joseph; the dominance of the
Anglo-American people in the post-1815 A. D. world; and the relevance of the
modern-day identity of the Lost Ten Tribes to the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.
Sherrod makes his
visits to congregations in exchange for travel expenses being met. As a result
we are bringing him to Australia in late May/early June 1998. He will be
appearing in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
