The Philadelphia Trumpet is a monthly news magazine published by the Philadelphia Church of God (PCG). Its editor-in-chief is currently Gerald Flurry, who is also the leader of the PCG and characterizes the magazine as a successor to The Plain Truth magazine when it was under the aegis of the Worldwide Church of God.

The only advertisements in the magazine are for various pamphlets and booklets published by the PCG, for the Armstrong College Bible Correspondence Course, and a list of broadcast times for The Key of David.

The magazine reports on worldwide events as seen through the filter of Armstrongism as taught by the PCG. The bias of the magazine is decidedly conservative (for example, the December 2006 issue characterized the Democratic victory in Congress as a "dangerous turn for America"). It has also been criticized for allegedly anti-semitic, anti-islamic and racist editorials.

There are, however, occasional claims of political neutrality (for example, the October 2004 issue stated "Neither George W. Bush nor John Kerry can promise [to keep you safe from terrorism]." Occasionally the Trumpet has articles on certain issues not tied to specific current events (for example, pornography, the weakening of the traditional family unit, or the paganism of Easter).

The magazine has a circulation of 294,000 in 2008.

Current headlines confirm the pinpoint accuracy of a 40-year-old prophecy.
By Stephen Flurry and Robert Morley

The 19th century was the British century. The 20th century was the American century.

The 21st century, says Anthony Browne of the Daily Mail, is the Asian century.

This is a staggering turn in world events.

“The global power shift from the West to the East is no longer just a matter of debate confined to learned journals and newspaper columns—it is a reality that is beginning to have a huge impact on our daily lives” (April 11, emphasis ours throughout).

What makes this especially staggering is the fact that it so vividly attests to the pinpoint accuracy of a prophetic warning issued four decades ago by Herbert W. Armstrong.

That’s right: Herbert Armstrong wrote about this massive shift in global power decades before the “debate” even made it into leading journals! “The handwriting is on the wall!” he cried in the 1967 version of The United States and Britain in Prophecy. ...
