The Three Woes.

 After the fifth trumpet, events  quickly move to the end of the world, and the return of Christ.  At the fifth trumpet, the beginning of the first woe, Satan is released from the bottomless pit.  At the same time, the beast rises out of the sea(Rev.13:1-2).  "The dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority" (Rev.13:2).  What is being described here, is a man that is being control by the devil, who possesses all the characteristics of fierce, ruthless animals.

The harmful creatures that emerged out of the bottomless pit; that hurt people for five months, are obviously modern implement of war. They have a king over them, who is the angel of the bottomless pit (Rev.9:11), who is the devil.

Of course, the doctrines of the Passover, and its mirror image, Atonement; the priesthood being changed from Levi to the royal priesthood of Melchesedec (1 Pet.2:9). For Jesus is both High Priest and King; the first resurrection, which is a spiritual resurrection from spiritual death (Eph.2:1). That resurrection began on the day of Pentecost, when those that were spiritual dead were raised to spiritual life.

 Sadly, these doctrines were not understood in WCG. The emphasis in WCG was material prosperity. The hireling ministers shamelessly told the members, "your job is to pay and pray." That is, pray that God will call more people, to donate more money. So that they could continue to live a sumptuous lifestyle. 

At the height of the church, it had an annual income of $220 million dollars. So that Gerald Waterhouse, with his homosexual tendencies, could travel the world talking foolishness about a place of final training, and Garner Ted, the adulterer, with a private jet, could preached politics on behalf of America.

Like the Chosen Vessel, who knew the terror of the Lord (2 Cor.5:11), I shudder to think what will happen to these ignorant, evil men. They will wish, that they had never been born.

Recondite Events and the Binding of the Devil.

 Between the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the sending of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, lots of recondite events occurred. The WCG's hireling ministry were and are ignorant of these events.

The first event was Christ going into the holy of holies in heaven to offer himself for the redemption and reconciliation of God's elect.  On earth, he died for the sins of the whole world, but reconciliation in heaven was only for the sins of God's elect (Heb.9:11-14)..

The second event was, as the High Priest, on the day of Atonement (Lev. 16:20-21) came out of the holy of holies, and laid his hand of the head of goat that represented the devil, and sent him away by a fit man into the wilderness.  Similarly, after Jesus offered himself for the redemption of God's elect, he sent Michael the archangel to bind the devil, (fulfilling the prophecy, "He led captivity captive, and gave gives unto men"(Eph. 4:7-8) and (Col.1:13-14). That is, he took the devil captive, and sent the Holy the Spirit to those who truly believed in him.) and cast him into the bottomless pit.  This event occurred during the forty days that Jesus was on earth. During the battle, Satan disputed about the body of Moses (Jude 1:9).  The reason that is recorded, is to let us know that the battle occurred after the death of Moses.

 After the devil and his angels were defeated(Rev.12:7-8), an angel was sent from heaven with a chain in his hand (Rev.20:1-3), and the key to the bottomless pit.  He bound or shackled the devil and his angels, and cast them into the bottomless pit for a thousand years.

After the binding of the devil, Jesus ascended into heaven, sat down at right hand of the father, and ten days later the Holy Spirit was sent in a blaze of glory. Meaning, the ministers of Christ burn with the love of God, and the warmth of it embraces everyone. Fulfilling the promise, that he makes his ministers a flame of fire (Heb.1:7).

Now Satan will be released at the fifth trumpet(Rev.9:1-3), and Christ returns at the seventh trumpet.

These mysteries are so recondite and abstruse, that they fall into the category Peter calls, "things that are hard to be understood"(2 Pet.3:15-16).

 BTW, I was baptised in water on the 2nd June 1975, by Arthur Suckling. But I had already received the gift of the Holy Spirit, without understanding what God had done for me.

THE HOLY SPIRIT CHOOSES THE MINISTERS

In the Chosen Vessel sublime, second epistle to the Corinthians, it is made very clear to those who are able to understand spiritual matters.  The subjects of the epistle are:

1) The integration of the ministry within the church.

2) The ministers' position within the body of Christ.

3) The function of the ministry within the church.

The Apostle began to prove his office thus. The emphatic rhetorical questions are these:  "Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? (2 Cor.3:1).

The hirelings that went AC had letters of commendation from the faculty, saying that they were ordained ministers of Christ. But did they have a letter of commendation from the Holy Spirit?

Note what the great Apostle goes on to say, "You are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men:" What does that mean?  How were they his epistle? I will first answer the question, how were they his epistle?  After a series of persecutions, Paul; arrived in Corinth, where he preached the gospel, and both Jews and Greeks were called and were baptised(Acts 18:8).

Then in a vision God told Paul to remain at Corinth, for he had many people in the city(Acts18:9-10).

So the phrase, "you are our epistle," means, your conversion is "the epistle" that proves we are ministers of Jesus Christ, and that was written in our hearts by the Holy Spirit(2 Cor.3:3).

The same could have been said by Mr Armstrong. for the people who were called by God, converted and baptised by Holy Spirit, as a results of his preaching are his epistle of commendation, that he was a true minister of Jesus Christ. 

The idiots, in GCI, that now call Mr Armstrong a charlatan and a false prophet, were never converted.

The great Apostle goes on say, their ability to think came from God, "who also has made us able ministers of the New Testament: not of the letter, but of the spirit"(2 Cor.3:6). That statement announces the abolishion of the Levitical priesthood, and the establishment of the Melchisedec priesthood, where Jesus is the High Priest(Heb. 7:12-17)..

The Spirit of God and of Glory

The hirelings and their deluded, docile laity have launched a sustain attack against me, because I have exposed their deceitfulness, covetousness, duplicity and lust for money and power.  They have conspired to get my blog's link on The Journal disabled, thinking that would silence me or less people would read my blog.  They are sadly mistaken.

Instead of silencing me, they are confirming God's love for me. For Jesus says, "Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the son of man sake."  Rejoice you in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven"(Luke 6:22-23).

I met people in Paignton who told me that they were told not to talk to me.  They were obviously told to avoid me by the hireling ministry, that are acting as thieves and robbers in UCG, COG/Hulme, RCG, PCG, LCG, CGI, GCI, WCG and all the other deluded, divided groups, that worship the devil.

None of this surprises me, for during my 22 years attending WCG, most of the hirelings, if not all of them, were opposed to me.  Arthur Suckling, who was completely ignorant of the bible described me as "plucky," because he could not answer my questions.  David House, who must be screaming in the flames like the rich man, thought that God was opposed to black people.

As for Barry Bourne, who has to be in the same state as David House, he was a scheming politician. He kept phoning head office, stating he wanted to be a conduit from Tkach to the church.  But while he and I were in the car travelling to Desborough, in 1985, God revealed to me that he was scheming to be ordained a pastor.  He got it, and it killed him.

After the Tenby Feast of 1984, Ed Smith was given some time off to deal with a family matter. Graham Mitchell, that pompous man, was given the dubious task of informing the congregation not to contact Ed until further notice.

Someone in the congregation leapt to conclusion that Ed had done something wrong, and the person contacted Derrick Seaman, who in turn contacted Ed.  Ed naturally informed Barry.

The following Sabbath, during the announcements, Barry was furious, and berated the suspected person, and ended his comments by saying: "If you want to be in charge of the church, here are the keys for the car."

Being a unconverted hireling, the Sceptre of his authority over the church were the keys to the car. Doesn't it make one sick?

Contrast that materialistic, mad attitude with the Sceptre of Jesus's authority over the church, which is his kingdom (Heb.1:8-9).  A truly converted minister would have said, if you want to be in charge of the church, here is the bible!

In Birmingham, Barry, (or should that be, Mr Bourne, when the Chosen Vessel, with his sublime knowledge of the mysteries of God, Eph.3:2-5, was called Paul) was succeeded by Melvin Rhodes.  If the basic criteria for ordination had been observed, Melvin would never had been ordained a deacon, furthermore a minister. For he didn't know how disciple or control his children(1 Tim.3:4).

He certainly was not "apt to teach" or of good behaviour.  For he confessed that he punched a man who annoyed him at the airport (James 1:20).  Since then, he has been in all kinds of troubles with UCG.  A leopard cannot change its spots.

Melvin was succeeded by Andrew Silcox, who was and is a total disaster.  I was in London in 1985 when Mr Armstrong ordained him a minister, and said, he would be travelling to Pasadena to work in the Imperial School.

His ordination had to be an act of nepotism.  It certainly could not have been based on the criteria set out in the inspired texts. When the Chosen Vessel, Barnabas, teachers and prophets were at Antioch, ministering to the Lord, and fasted (fasted? Dr. Meredith once suggested that ministers should fast one day per month. Yet, the unconverted Pharisees, fasted two days every week), the Holy Spirit said, "separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work where unto I have called them"(Acts 13:1-3). 

Also, "from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church." And when they were come unto him...he rehearsed the labour of love he performed among them (Acts 20:17-27). Then he said: "take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood"(Acts 20:28).

THE HOLY SPIRIT CHOOSES THE MINISTERS

From these texts we learned, that the Holy Spirit chooses the ministry in the church of God, and the Holy Spirit cannot make a mistake and choose the wrong person.  

In the Chosen Vessel sublime, second epistle to the Corinthians, that teaching is made very clear to those who are able to understand spiritual matters.  The subjects of the epistle are:

1) The integration of the ministry within the church.

2) The ministers' position within the body of Christ.

3) The function of the ministry within the church.

The Apostle began to prove his office thus. The emphatic rhetorical questions are these:  "Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? (2 Cor.3:1).

The hirelings that went AC had letters of commendation from the faculty, saying that they were ordained ministers of Christ. But did they have a letter of commendation from the Holy Spirit?

Note what the great Apostle goes on to say, "You are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men:" What does that mean?  How were they his epistle? I will first answer the question, how were they his epistle?  After a series of persecutions, Paul; arrived in Corinth, where he preached the gospel, and both Jews and Greeks were called and were baptised(Acts 18:8).

Then in a vision God told Paul to remain at Corinth, for he had many people in the city(Acts18:9-10).

So the phrase, "you are our epistle," means, your conversion is "the epistle" that proves we are ministers of Jesus Christ, and that was written in our hearts by the Holy Spirit(2 Cor.3:3).

The phrase, "known and read by all men," refers to all Christian men.

*****

Therefore, all the hirelings that were ordained, were chosen by the devil.

Is anyone so deceived to believe that the Holy Spirit choose Andrew to be a minister?  If he had been chosen by the Holy Spirit, his ministry would not have been an abject failure. 

And today, instead of relying of the medical profession to help him hop around on one leg, he would have been perfectly healthy.  For God, who cannot lie, has promised to forgive his people their sins, and heal all their diseases (Ps.103:3).

Yet, as soon as people who think they belong to God get sick, they run to the doctor, as though God and Jesus are helpless.

The Nakedness of WCG

 The worldwide Church of God, under Mr Armstrong's dispensation, was the Laodicean era of God's seven churches. It was wretched, poor, naked and blind (Rev.3:17). It was in a worst condition that Adam and Eve. For Adam and Eve knew that they were naked, but they were not blind. They saw their nakedness, and hid themselves. In contrast, the ministry in WCG, including Mr Armstrong, were naked and blind, and did not hide their nakedness.

Nakedness means WCG was filled with sin, and sin blinded them from understanding the sublime mysteries of the kingdom of God. That blindness led to ignorance of the bible. For example, the doctrine of predestination was laughed at by the WCG's ministry, as a doctrine invented by Calvin.  

Yet, in the Chosen Vessel's sublime Epistle to the Ephesians we read: "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself.."(Eph.1:5).  That was written 1500 years before Calvin was born.  Yet, the blindness of the hireling ministry in WCG prevented them from seeing it.  Also, in the Epistle to the Romans, we read: "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son...moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called:"  (If you have not been predestinated, you will not be called by God.) and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified them he also glorified(Rom.8:29-30).  That is the fulfillment of the promise of eternal life to God's elect, whom he foreknew(1 Pet.1:2).

Let the hirelings ask themselves, why they don't understand the doctrine of predestination?

Famine Stalkes the Land

 The prophecies of Matthew 24 are like a gathering storm, as their fulfillment come to pass. The first four prophecies of Matthew 24 outlined the same events of the four horsemen of Revelation.  The first horse, that symbolised false religion, has been rampaging around the world with great zeal, ever since God spewed WCG out of his mouth.

The prophecised false teachers (2 Pet.2:1), that were hiding in WCG, have broken forth to start their own churches, to preach heresy and make merchandise of docile congregations.  We have UCG, now under the control of Victor Kubic, a man with no knowledge of the bible. We also, have David Hulme, a man with more vanity than ability in any subject.  Although he thinks that psychology is God's gift to humanity.  People like Dave Havir, David Pack and Jerry Flurry are so mentally ill, one wonders how such wicked minds can sustain their broken bodies.

Still, all of these evil men and their deluded supporters have got some frightful surprises coming.  They have no knowledge of the terror of the Lord(2 Cor.5:11).

Of course, COVID is a minor disease, even though it has killed millions of people around the world, while  the gods of science say, they are fighting it with useless vaccines.

However, the next prophecy to be fulfilled is famine.  The pale horse of Revelation.  Note the prophecy of God Almighty to Joel thus: "Hear this you old men, and give ear all you inhabitants of the land...

SIGNS OF CONVERSION

This post won't mean anything to the hirelings that were in WCG, and are now in UCG, LCG, RCG, PCG, COGHulme and all other divided groups, that take God's name in vain.  None of the leaders of these heretical groups or their deluded congregations, that are being made merchandise of by tithes and offerings were ever converted.

To be converted, one has to be met by Jesus Christ on one's road to Damascus, where one was breathing out threats and slaughter against God and his people(Acts 9:1).  One had to be blinded by Christ's glory, that one might see(Acts 9:3). One must be led into a street called Straight, from one's devious, criminal path, spend three days repenting, while waiting for Jesus to send Ananius to remove one's physical blindness(Acts 9:11-12), that one's spiritual eyes might be opened(Eph.1:18); and then be baptised, washing away one's sins. If that did not happened to you, you are not converted.

The next sign of conversion is the overwhelming present of the Holy Spirit in the life of the converted.  The Holy Spirit, of love, motivates the converted mind to sell all that it possesses, and lay the proceeds at the Apostle's feet.  If you have not done that, attendance at services was a waste of time!

If when you started attending WCG, you did not have the above experiences, you were not converted.  I don't care who you are, what office you have held or how important or arrogant you think you are.  According to Jesus Christ, you were not converted.

Therefore, the opportunity to become like the little child is not opened to you.  You will die in your sins.

THE LITTLE CHILD

The question is, who is the little child that Jesus placed in the midst of his disciples(Matt.18:2-3)?  If you can't answer that question, you should never have been ordained a faithful minister of Jesus Christ.
