The madness of the false prophet

I predicted that as a result of Obama being elected president of the US, there would be a prophetic frenzy. Well, I did not have to wait long for Don. Billingsley to twist the Scriptures to try and prove that the American people made a mistake in electing Obama as their 44th president. Billingsley cited a passage from Deuteronomy to try and prove his contention. The passage, which was not fully quoted, runs as follows: "When you come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shall possess it, and shall dwell therein, and shall say, I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are about me; Thou shall in any wise set him king over thee, whom the Lord thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shall thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother"(Duet.17:14-15).

Firstly, this was a prophecy, which was fulfilled during the leadership of Samuel. The elders of Israel came to Samuel and requested a king thus: "Behold thou are old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations"(1 Sam. 8:5). And as a consequence, God appointed Saul the first king of Israel.

Secondly, the command to Israel not set a stanger over them as a leader was only applicable under the old covenant, and while the nation was established in the promise land. After both Israel and Judah were taken captive and scattered among many nations, God allowed many Gentile kings to rule over them.

Thirdly, after the death and resurrection of Christ, the old covenant was abolished. "The Israel of God" is now the church, where there is neither Jew nor Gentile, but a new spiritual creation in Christ. So God can appoint anyone he chooses to be an elder in his church, whether the person is white or black.

Fourthly, the people of the US voted, but God decided who would win the election, as all power is of God, and the powers that be are ordained of God. So is Billingsley saying that he disagree with God's decision?

Fifthly, the bible teaches that Christ is not divided, yet Billingsley left WCG, and contrary to the clear teachings of the bible, went off and set up his own church "to draw away disciple after him." Funny how Billingsley can find a text that supposedly says Obama was wrongly elected, but can't find any that says he is a hireling and a heretic!

Obama and The Prophetic Frenzy

The election of Obama as president of the US is, with out doubt, an epoch making event. Of course, all power is of God: "The powers that be, are ordained of God." So even though some in the US and around the world may believe that Obama's election to the highest office in the land is a testimony to the social progress the US has made, those who are much wiser, will see the hand of God guiding events in the fulfillment of prophecy. So where Obama's presidency will lead is yet to become clear, but the omens are not good!

However, expect the false prophets in cog-land to be transported into a frenzy of speculations and predictions. Every familiar biblical text will be poured over and reinterpreted to explained why God has allowed a half Israelite to become the head of his people, and why this is bound to be a disaster.

Still, genuine Christians neither vote nor support anyone running for elected office, as Christ is their Lord and soon coming king. But we are commanded to watch world events, and to be like men that wait for their Lord.

The Fate of Lazarus or the Rich Man?

The following appeared on The Journal web site just before the Feast of Tabernacles, "According to early reports, Mr. McNair, a 1953 graduate of Ambassador College, Pasadena, and an early evangelist in the Radio/Worldwide Church of God, died after an illness that had lasted about two and one half years. He had suffered with prostate cancer." Of course, the death of God's people are precious in his sight, for, like Lazarus, they are taken by the angels into Abraham's bosom. So what about Mr.McNair, will his fate be that of the rich man's or Lazarus'?

Well, the last ten years of McNair's life do not suggest that he will be enjoying the same blessings as Lazarus. In 1998, he was a co-conspirator in hijacking the Global church from under the nose of Dr. Meredith. Later he wrote to LCG members asking for money to pay off the debts incurred when he and the gang of three hijacked Global.

The Journal added: "Mr. McNair in recent years was founder and president of the Church of God 21st Century, headquartered in the San Diego area." Well, anyone who starts his own church is an obvious heretic. For the only church that genuine Christians should be members of is the church of God, which is the spiritual body of Christ.

However, I expect tributes to start pouring in, stating what a wonderful person McNair was, and that he will be in the kingdom of God.

Another Hireling Jumped Ship

After Ron King, the hirling director of Living Church of God UK, announced that John Meakin jumped from David Hulme's shipwreck to join LCG drifting barge, King went on to say, "Mr Meakin is a minister of thirty three years experience in the United Kingdom and will be serving as Area Pastor in the south of England, including London.  He has experience in editorial work and we look forward to receiving his help in this area.

Well, unless Meakin is bringing most of his existing docile laity with him, there won't be much for him to pastor. For the LCG congregation in London consists of about 10 people when everyone is in attendance, and in the unspecified South, there may be 6 people, who can't tell their right hand from their left.

Among Hulme's discredited UK "ministry," or should that be hirelings, Meakin is probably respected and might even be admired by many of his fellow hirelings. So his departure just before the Feast will send shock waves through those who are still clinging to the wreckage, hoping to be rescued.

His departure will also be seen by some as a hideous act of treachery and betrayal. But they are just reaping what they sowed. In 1995, Hulme's hirelings, including Meakin, sold the brethren for what was called a financial package, but what God inspired Jeremiah to call a bribe!

My former "pastor," Peter Shenton, and local elder, Ian Martin, who are the most contemptible of men, will be on the phone to discuss the implications of Meakin's treachery. And like unscrupulous, contemptible politicians, they will begin to position themselves to occupy the vacancy created by Meakin's departure. But they will have to fight Rapson, who sees himself as a biblical scholar, trained in the Meredith school of theology. What a laugh!

Of course, God is not real to any of these people.  If he was, they would never behave in such a deceitful and deplorable manner.  For they would remember the words of the Chosen Vessel, when he says, "Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God"(1 Cor.6:9).
 

What? Christian women and cancer!

Every year hundreds of COG women die of breast, cervical or bowel cancers. A brief scan of any COG pray list will reveal the number of distressing cases of cancer amongst COG women and, sadly, the majority will be dead within 12 months, and the rest within 5 years. For you can be certain that God will not heal them. Those who don't die from gynecological related cancers, suffer the indignity of having their wombs removed to protect their damaged health, or are crippled by osteoporosis.

Yet, you never hear any of the hirelings in cog-land addressing this tragedy from the pulpit, or in their inane publications. One would have thought that the grieving husbands would want answers to why their wives contracted a fatal disease, and despite all the pray and "fasting" God didn't heal their wives.

For years in WCG, we sang: "Children are the gift of God, and the fruit of the womb is his reward," and then proceeded to erect barriers against receiving his gifts and denying him his reward. The main barrier erected by so-called Christian women, under the guise of family planning, is the contraceptive pill. Of course, there are other barriers, which have destructive side effects, but the pill is the most destructive to women's health and longevity of life.

The pill does not only prevent conception, it also triggers an abortion if conception occurs before the egg reaches the womb. If conceptions take place, the chemical reactions in the body spring into action to support the pregnancy, and prepare for the birth of the baby. Messages are sent from the brain to the mammary glands to start producing milk to feed the baby.

A few days or weeks later, the whole process is disrupted by the pill triggering an abortion of the gift of God. How despicable? It is impossible to fully understand the impact such an event has on a so-called Christian woman's body. The mammary glands are forced to abort the production of milk, and all the other organs that were activated to support the pregnancy go into shock!

The medium to long term consequences for so-called Christian women, who want to be like the women of the world, is hysterectomies, cancers of the cervix, breast, bowel, stomach or being crippled by osteoporosis - with ultimate exclusion from the kingdom of God, followed by eternal punishment. What a tragedy!!

Will Jesus be at your Feast site?

In the next few weeks many of the hirelings that preside over the hundreds of divided groups in cog-land, will be gathering in various locations around the world to celebrate what they misguidedly think is the Feast of Tabernacles. But the burning question is this, will Christ be attending with them, or will they just be on holiday?

In the UK, the two major groups are UCG and David Hulme's COG. Now it should be evident to any genuine Christian that Jesus won't be attending with these. David Hulme and the discredited UK "ministry" failed to speak out against Tkach's doctrinal changes. In fact, they advised the brethren to stay with WCG while they were planning to leave and join UCG, hoping that when the brethren realised what was going on they would follow them like dumb sheep, which is exactly what happened! What duplicity.

Some three years later, when Hulme was removed for misleading UCG, he conspired with most of the UK hirelings to hijack UCG, UK membership, and then proceeded to start his own church. Yet there isn't one single example in the New Testament of any Apostle ever leaving his fellow Apostles to start his own church, and still be regarded as a genuine minister of Christ.

On the contrary, Paul was inspired to emphasize the unity of Christ thus: "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment"(1 Cor. 1:10). Now, it should be evident to anyone who has not been completely deceived by the Devil, that the hundreds of divided groups in cog-land do not speak "the same thing," and they certainly are not "perfectly joined together in the same mind and judgment" about anything. Yet, the Holy Spirit of truth, who infallibly inspired the the Holy Scriptures, told the brethren that they must be "endeavouring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace"(Eph. 4:3). So how can men who claimed to be led by the holy spirit end up fighting amongst themselves, instead of obeying the command of God to preserve the unity of the spirit among themselves? The answer is very simple, they don't have the spirit of God. And anyone who doesn't have the spirit of Christ, doesn't belong Christ, and therefore cannot keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

Under the New Testament dispensation Jesus revealed that the Christian body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, where God dwells. And Paul confirms thus: "Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwells in you?"(1 Cor. 3:16).

This is a sublime doctrine, which cannot be understood by those who are motivated by money and power. So I am not sure that I should waste my time writing a detailed exposition of the relationship between the Tabernacle in the wilderness and the Christian body. Suffice to say, you can be absolutely sure that no one in UCG, LCG, PCG, RCG, David Hulme's COG or any of the other hundreds of divided groups, led by hirelings, will be keeping the Feast with Christ, because they are not the temple of God!

The inanity of it all

Monday 1 September. While at Mizpah waiting for news of the destruction of the wicked, and preparing for the Feast of Tabernacles, I torn myself away from these weighty matters to look in on AW blog. When I thought that things couldn't get any worse I was sadly mistaken. The moderator, no doubt, by popular request has reverted to poking fun at Ron Wieland. Wow! How intellectually stimulating!

I also note that Corky has posted a picture of himself dressed in either his pajamas or his prison attire. I wonder who wears his proper clothes? Anyway, I hope no one is so crazy as to send Corky to prison, as he will poison the minds of the guards against the teaching of Jesus, and in no time they will be all atheists, with no belief in the punishment of the wicked!

However, there are indications that Dennis and Douglas are beginning to feel the wrath of God, and that Richard may not be able to contact me if news of their destruction should reach him before it reaches me!

Still, I will remain at Mizpah until time to depart for the Feast.
