WMLK is a 50,000 watt radio transmitter (9265 kHz) intended to take the message of Salvation to the ends of the earth (Matthew 24:14). WMLK is owned by the Assemblies of Yahweh. The radio station is situated one mile from the Home Offices of the Assemblies of Yahweh in Bethel, Pennsylvania.

MLK represents three of the four consonants of the Hebrew word malakh" which means a “messenger” or angel (see etymology). In Hebrew & Arabic the primary term for "angel" is "malakh" (מַלְאָךְ), "malaika", or "malak" (ملاك) derived from the Semitic consonantal root l-'-k (ל-א-ך), meaning "to send." This root is also found in the noun "Melakha" (מְלָאכָה), meaning "work", and the noun "Mal'achut" (מלאכות), meaning "message”. The Assemblies of Yahweh compare WMLK to a prophecy found in Revelation (Revelation 14:6–12).

A shofar made from the horn of a Greater kudu, in the Yemenite Jewish style. The Assemblies of Yahweh believe WMLK is the last warning trumpet message recorded of in passages such as Jeremiah 6:16-18 and Revelation 14:6-12

Trumpet Sound

The plans for WMLKs large antenna revealed the shape of a trumpet or shofar' (Template:Lang-he). These steel posts (once sign posts), hoist the WMLK antennas skyward, standing over a busy Interstate Route 78. The Assemblies of Yahweh believe that this is a fulfilment of the prophecy found in Jeremiah 31:21. According to Assemblies of Yahweh reports, WMLK has required much sacrificial dedication from the leadership, and is often referred to as the “Messenger of Truth” . In 1985 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license was granted, and further, permission endorsed to increase the power of the WMLK radio station. .

History

In 1981, the Assemblies of Yahweh bought a 50,000 watt radio transmitter which was converted into a tool for shortwave broadcasting. From this point onwards, the Assemblies of Yahweh began to build their own radio station in order to “proclaim Yahweh’s Truth”(see top). 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. Due to the fact that the Assemblies of Yahweh remains a non-profit and somewhat small organization in comparison to most Christian denominations, WMLK has been heralded as a success and a grand accomplishment by members and non-members of the Assemblies of Yahweh and Meyer had hoped to see the WMLK radio station upgraded to 200, 000 watts before long:

Yahweh willing, the upgrading project will continue until we have achieved a projected output of 200, 000 watts in power

— SNB: What's Happening at Bethel? (11/1999 ed.) Meyer

According to recent reports, the Assemblies of Yahweh have outdone this expectation, and “purchased a BBC 250KW unit to enhance the outreach of WMLK Radio” (*“WMLK Shortwave”).

Sermons

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 (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 . WMLK is an expensive project , but the Assemblies of Yahweh resolutely believe in witnessing this “truth” of the Bible to the nations. WMLK has stimulated much global response and has also been the theme of numerous newspaper articles . The Assemblies of Yahweh encourage all members with access to regularly listen to the sermons, which are occasionally described as: “the voice crying in the wilderness” (Isaiah 40:3).
