New Moon 1/1/32/120

Dear Friends,

We are now at New Year’s Day of the 32nd Year of the 120th Jubilee in accordance with the Temple Calendar. It is a day of Solemn Assembly.

Today commences the Sanctification of the Temple of God. Last Year we looked at the issue of the Calendar and the New Moons in the New Year’s Message. We would recommend that you go back over that message at http://www.ccg.org/_domain/ccg.org/Sabbath/2008/NM_03_08_08.htm

This year and next we are in the same months as both the Hillel system and the Trinitarians. Their Pentecost coincides with the Temple Calendar on one of the few occasions this year. Even the Samaritans are in step this year.

When the Witnesses commence their ministry it will be a simple matter to see what is correct. The problem is that they will be in accordance with the Temple Calendar and the Hillel calendar will be an abomination to them. This will be a great stumbling block to the Churches of God that follow the Hillel system in the 21st century. Many are simply brainwashed and cannot admit error. Many of the ministry will prevent their people from repentance and correction and many will be condemned because of it.

The Trinitarian ministry in the US have been preparing their people to march against the Witnesses and against Christ for many years. We have heard many of these ministers of Satan speak about the Antichrist as being someone who attempts to introduce the Laws of Moses and construct the Temple in Jerusalem (see the paper The Witnesses (including the Two Witnesses) (No. 135)).

Thus when the Two Witnesses arrive and commence to speak according to the Law and the Testimony they will be dismissed by a multitude of deceived people. Some recent messages have been concerning the Antichrist.

There will be two opposing forces in Jerusalem. One will be the Two Witnesses foretold by prophecy, the other will be the Antichrist and the False Prophet equally foretold by Scripture. Both will be able to call fire down from heaven. One pair will be of God the other will be demonic.

The Antichrist and the false prophet will continue until they are allowed to overcome the Two Witnesses. They will lie in the streets and will not be allowed to be buried for three and one half days. At the end of that time they will be resurrected at the Archangel’s call and they will meet the Messiah at his advent. This sequence is prophesied in Revelation chapter 11.

Most religious bodies on the planet will be deceived by the Antichrist and the False Prophet. What they say will accord with what these false ministers have been teaching for decades and even centuries. If it were possible it would deceive even the very elect. The problem is that they will not speak according to the Law and the Testimony and there is no light in them (Isa. 8:20).

The problem also is that when the Messiah comes it is too late for the First Resurrection. Those who do not act on the testimony of the Witnesses will be in the Second Resurrection and that will include a great many of the Churches of God. There will be a large number of people who do repent and they will be baptised by the Churches of God.

God is now calling many people to repentance and to baptism through the Holy Spirit.

This year it is again the responsibility of the elect to sanctify the Temple of God and also to sanctify the Simple and the Erroneous through prayer and supplication and by fasting (see the papers Sanctification of the Temple of God (No. 241) and Sanctification of the Simple and the Erroneous (No. 291)).

Each year we pray at this time for God to send the Witnesses. Very soon those two will be sent and will stand in Jerusalem and we will know that Messiah is not long away. God has chosen to send us Elijah and one other. The other was the only man that did not die, for God took him as He took Elijah. Elijah was taken as a righteous prophet of Israel and the promised prophet of the Restoration of the Last Days.

One Witness was of Israel in the Temple period. The other was the Witness against the Ante-deluvian world. The Age before the flood that then was. This man is sent because he is the ancestor of every person living on the planet today and he is sent to deal with a great many of the errors and false teachings of this age.

He will not be white nor will he be Trinitarian nor will he keep the festivals and holidays of the Ancient Cults. He will deal with the ancestor worship of the Liberation cults of Hinduism and Buddhism and the Reincarnation of the ancient Celts and their variations of Wicca and the cults.

The whole world will hate this pair because of what they do and teach. However, many will turn and be saved by them and will enter the First Resurrection (see the paper Resurrection of the Dead (No. 143)).

When this pair are killed they will not be allowed to be buried until the prophesied time. People will give presents right around the world because of the torment the false religions of the world suffered at their hands. The big problem is that when they are dead it is too late. When Christ gets here there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth because all these self-righteous hypocrites will realise they backed the wrong pair and it is too late to make it into the First Resurrection. That will include many people in the Churches of God.

Very soon we are going to commence the sanctification process and we are going to find that there are two men clothed in sackcloth in Jerusalem. The Churches of God will be given a wake-up call and they had better listen.

When that happens we will all know if we got it wrong and what it is we need to do. Any person that relies on what some long dead minister has said, over and above what these two say, will not enter the First Resurrection.

If it is not this year that they arrive it might be the next or the one after or whenever. What we can be sure of is that it is not far off now and it is our duty to pray and fast that we are in a fit and proper state to meet them and to do our duty.

By the time you read this message I will be in Africa. In a few days I will be meeting with the African ministry in the largest ordination and credentialing of the ministry in the history of CCG and the Churches of God perhaps since the Early Church and the ordination of the Seventy [two] (Luke 10:1,17). We will be credentialing Seventy [two] ministers before Passover and they will be baptising between three and six thousand people for the Passover. Many have already been baptised.

It is these people that we must all pray and fast for in the build-up from today until the Feast of the Passover and Unleavened Bread.

God is working in power in Africa and we must be ready to do what God directs us to do. From today we also sent Jeremy to Nicaragua to baptise and organise the Church in Nicaragua. God is opening up many doors for us now.

Please pray that we all have safe travel. Praise God for His power and His direction in the work of the Last Days.
