In 1981, the ] bought a 50,000 watt radio transmitter which was converted into a tool for ] ]. From this point onwards, the Assemblies of Yahweh began to build their own radio station in order to “proclaim Yahweh’s Truth.”<ref>http://assembliesofyahweh.com</ref> Two prominent members of the Assemblies of Yahweh were hired to work on this project, both in the dismantling and rebuilding of WMLK. The transmitter in its early stages required reconditioning and conversion, whilst the building which housed it needed repairing. It is believed that this project is rapidly approaching completion, with visitors periodically coming to see the WMLK enterprise. Because the ] remains a somewhat small organization in comparison to most ], WMLK has been heralded as a success and a grand accomplishment by members and non-members of the Assemblies of Yahweh<ref>(11/1992 ed) Meyer, Jacob (p. 22)</ref> and Meyer had hoped to see the WMLK radio station upgraded to 200,000 watts before long:

Inspired by the mandate in {{bibleverse|Matthew|28:19-20}} to preach the Good News worldwide, Elder Meyer and the brethren of the Assemblies of Yahweh sought to establish their own broadcasting platform.

=== Early Foundations ===

This marked the beginning of WMLK’s journey as a dedicated station for proclaiming Yahweh’s truth.<ref>{{cite web|last=Meyer|first=Jacob|title=Assemblies of Yahweh site (Proclaiming Yahweh's Truth To The World)|url=http://www.assembliesofyahweh.com|work=Assemblies of Yahweh|access-date=May 13, 2011}}</ref> Chief engineer ] Gary McAvin and other members of the Assemblies of Yahweh played crucial roles in dismantling and rebuilding the equipment to meet the needs of this ambitious project. Deacon Gary McAvin<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.lammandwitman.com/obituary/gavin-mcavin | title=Obituary for Gavin e.

The plans for WMLKs large antenna revealed the shape of a trumpet or '']''' ({{lang-he|שופר}}). These steel posts (once sign posts), hoist the WMLK antennas skyward, standing over a busy ]. The Assemblies of Yahweh believe that this is a fulfilment of the prophecy found in Jeremiah 31:21.

WMLK began broadcasting in 1985 using an RCA BTA-50G transmitter,<ref name="Heritage">{{cite web |last1=Butera |first1=Martin |title=Shortwave Station WMLK |url=https://www.radioheritage.com/shortwave-station-wmlk/ |website=Radio Heritage |access-date=6 September 2023}}</ref> originally designed in 1947. Modified for shortwave frequencies, the transmitter allowed WMLK’s broadcasts to reach audiences on every continent. By 2017, the station underwent a major upgrade, acquiring a state-of-the-art transmitter from Ampegon, a leader in advanced broadcasting technology. The new transmitter, boasting up to 450 kW power, features innovative systems such as PSM power supply and internet-enabled remote operation. Despite the complexities of installation, including new cooling systems and power supplies,<ref name="Heritage" /> WMLK resumed broadcasting in June 2022.
The station is used extensively. Sermon and Bible studies are aired across the globe, proclaiming the message of Yahweh: repentance and obedience to the Biblical Law ({{bibleverse||1John|3:4}}). According to the SNB magazine (6/1988), the key targeted areas were Europe and the Middle East , but the signal waves are not limited and reach far and wide. At present, audiences from 120 countries have responded <ref>(11/1999 ed) Meyer, Jacob</ref>.

WMLK (9.275, 17.525 & 15.15 MHz), is a shortwave radio prominent outreach tool of the Assemblies of Yahweh, based in Bethel, Pennsylvania. The station’s call sign, "WMLK," reflects the Hebrew word (MLK) "malak" (מַלְאָךְ), meaning “messenger” or “angel,” symbolizing its mission as a messenger of Yahweh’s truth to the world. A different vocalization of the word will also yield the definition salt.

Origins and Vision

The Great Commission and Sacred Name Broadcast

WMLK’s roots trace back to 1966 when Elder Jacob O. Meyer, founder of the Assemblies of Yahweh, initiated a radio ministry called the Sacred Name Broadcast. Inspired by the mandate in Matthew 28:19–20 to preach the Good News worldwide, Elder Meyer and the brethren of the Assemblies of Yahweh sought to establish their own broadcasting platform. They recognized that Bethel, was strategically located to transmit radio signals across vast regions of the globe, aligning with their vision of fulfilling the Great Commission effectively.

Building WMLK: From Humble Beginnings to Advanced Technology

Early Foundations

In 1981, the Assemblies of Yahweh acquired a 50,000-watt radio transmitter, which they repurposed for shortwave broadcasting. This marked the beginning of WMLK’s journey as a dedicated station for proclaiming Yahweh’s truth. Chief engineer Deacon Gary McAvin and other members of the Assemblies of Yahweh played crucial roles in dismantling and rebuilding the equipment to meet the needs of this ambitious project. Deacon Gary McAvin moved to Bethel with his family, continuing to work on the transmitter for more than 40 years.

Technological Milestones

WMLK began broadcasting in 1985 using an RCA BTA-50G transmitter, originally designed in 1947. Modified for shortwave frequencies, the transmitter allowed WMLK’s broadcasts to reach audiences on every continent. By 2017, the station underwent a major upgrade, acquiring a state-of-the-art transmitter from Ampegon, a leader in advanced broadcasting technology. The new transmitter, boasting up to 450 kW power, features innovative systems such as PSM power supply and internet-enabled remote operation. Despite the complexities of installation, including new cooling systems and power supplies, WMLK resumed broadcasting in June 2022.

That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Yahweh, Art the Most High over all the earth.

— Psalm 83:18, used on WMLK site

Proclaiming the Message: The Elijah Prophecy and the Angel in Mid-Heaven

The Elijah Message

The Assemblies of Yahweh view WMLK as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy, particularly the “Elijah message” foretold in Malachi 4:5–6. They emphasize Elijah’s zeal for the exclusive worship of Yahweh (1Kings 19:14) and draw parallels to their own mission of restoring Yahweh’s Name and commandments to prominence. The station’s antenna system, resembling a shofar' (Hebrew: שופר), aligns with the prophecy in Jeremiah 31:21 about setting “guideposts” along highways, further solidifying its symbolic role.

4 Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances. 5 Behold, I will send you EliYah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes. 6 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 strike the earth with a curse.

— The Sacred Scriptures Bethel Edition (Malachi 4:4-6)

The Angel in Mid-Heaven

The Assemblies of Yahweh liken WMLK’s broadcasts to the angel in Revelation 14:6–7 , proclaiming the Good News across mid-heaven. This interpretation underscores their belief that Yahweh directs the radio signal, guiding it to reach audiences across international borders. By restoring Yahweh’s Name in their lives and teachings, WMLK provides a counterpoint to mainstream religious doctrines, emphasizing obedience to Yahweh’s commandments and the exclusive use of His sacred Name.

They note that the angel is commanding "7 Fear Yahweh*, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters." (Sacred Scriptures Bethel Edition).

*The Name Yahweh is restored to the text.

Today there is the voice of a messenger from Almighty Yahweh flying through the air. That radio signal is going forth powerfully and penetrating into a growing number of countries of the world. The voice of warning is heard in many different places where literature and other mediums of outreach cannot go. But, now Yahweh receives the glory all over the earth! Are you preparing yourself for the culmination of the age?
