Sabbath 30/11/32/120

Dear Friends,

Tomorrow is the New Moon of the Twelfth Month called Adar. It is usual in this month that God lifts His hand and many things happen to the brethren over the month until the arrival of the New Year. This is the Thirty-Third year of the 120th Jubilee coming up and the Fifth Year of the cycle.

Usually in the Churches of God that do not keep the sanctification process they endure trials until the Passover but it stops with us at the Sanctification of the Simple and Erroneous (see the papers Sanctification of the Temple of God (No. 241) and the Sanctification of the Simple and Erroneous (No. 291)).

From this month onwards to the year 2015 and on to the Sabbath of 2019 will prove to be a most trying time for all of us. Let us try to examine what God has told us in Scripture by His servants the prophets what is to come to pass. The world will be in tribulation until 2025 which is the Treble harvest year of the Jubilee.

Scripture is of no private interpretation, as we are told by the apostles. It is a pity that so many members of the groups in the churches, and many of them Churches of God, have made so many dogmatic and false prophecies over the centuries. We have examined many of the false prophecies of the various churches (see the paper False Prophecy (No. 269)).

In dealing with the word of God there are a few rules of understanding that are common to the faith over the centuries. The major rule was that of the week and the calendar. Contrary to popular misconception the calendar is a prophetic instrument in understanding the plan of God. The basic week is a blueprint for the plan. The Sabbath represents the millennial rest of the Messiah and generally has been understood to do that by the elders of the church. Peter’s comments of a day being but a thousand years and a thousand years being but a day confirm that view. In the same way the text in Revelation 20 confirms the Millennium, and it was understood as such by the church in the second century (cf. Justin Martyr, Dial. LXXX).

The texts now cover over six thousand years from the creation of Adam in 4004 BCE which ended in 1996/7, and the 6000 years from the closure of Eden and the Jubilee of the God’s Calendar ends in 2027. The last thirty years of the time frame match the first thirty years until Adam came under Judgment and the Garden of Eden was closed. If the Church of God had kept that in mind they would not have made the silly errors they did under Herbert Armstrong or earlier under William Miller and then Ellen G. White and her husband or the false prophecies of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. They were completely hopeless as to prophecy and their legacy still cripples millions. The early errors of the church were largely because of the use of the Septuagint (LXX) dates of the Patriarchs in the text in Genesis which was erroneous and misled the early church. 

There is a very good degree of certainty as to the structure. The Bible chronology, according to the MT, is clear as to the time frame. You don’t have to be a prophet. You just have to know when to start and be able to count to 7000. There is nothing difficult about it.

If the understanding of the Seven Thousand Year Plan of God is incorrect then the Church of God has no idea as to the sequence of the unfolding of the mysteries of God. God is then not working in accordance with His Calendar. However, He has always worked according to the Calendar and the Jubilees.

Judah was sent into captivity and the dispersion exactly in accordance with prophecy and the Calendar (see the paper The Sign of Jonah and the history of the reconstruction of the Temple (No. 013)).

Satan has tried for millennia to disguise and corrupt the understanding of the sequence of the Plan of God and the Calendar. He always places the demons closest to the work, and within it where he can, so as to corrupt it. Judah was and is rotten with corruption and the calendar has been consistently corrupted so as to prevent understanding and obedience (see the paper Distortion of God’s Calendar in Judah (No. 195b)).

Fortunately, many see through it and leave the organisation that has become corrupt. Sometimes it takes a long time for the people to see through the insincere or corrupt individuals in the organisation. What people have to realise is that the Binitarian/Trinitarian system has worked incessantly through their intelligence agencies to destroy the Church of God over the last 1900 years.  They have come into us from two streams which are the Sun cults and the cult of Gnosticism which imposed itself on Christianity and Judaism, and also the sun cults themselves. Gnosticism is the antinomian Christianity that the world falsely understands as “mainstream Christianity.” It is not Christian and does not know its own origins. Its false teachers have broken down Christianity by importing the doctrine of the Sun cults into Judaism and then into Primitive Christianity so that by the Second century it had taken over the Roman Church, and by 381 CE had effectively seized control of the Roman Empire.

The Sabbath-keeping churches are able to see through the errors as God deals with them. The US corruption of the Seventh Day Baptist systems into Trinitarianism has been seen for what it is and the systems outside of the US rejected the doctrine but allowed the heretics to worship in the system until they became worse than useless to the faith. Their churches are rejecting the doctrines on a large scale and they are joining us as are the Churches of God (SD) commencing from Africa. So also are the Adventists that reject the false doctrines and ramblings of Ellen G. White.

The Church of God (SD) did not allow themselves to be guided by the Caldwell conference, and the Oregon and the later Denver conferences failed to come to grips with the faith and went from error to error. In 1994, after the total corruption of the WCG under Tkach and his minions, Roy Marrs, the editor of the Bible Advocate, was warned that the same penetration by Trinitarians was under way in the COG (SD). He was shocked. He expressed doubt that they could get away with it in the COG (SD) as they had in WCG because the constitution protected them. Roy was assured that they would do it. Within a few months they had replaced him as editor of the Bible Advocate with Calvin Burrell and, in 1995, declared the COG (SD) was Binitarian. From then on they began establishing Trinitarian doctrine. Within a few years it was reported that Whaid Rose and the Trinitarians in COG (SD) had come out of the closet and declared their vision of a Protestant Sabbath keeping COG (SD). Martin Luther and (the Lutherans) and persecutor of the Waldensian Church of God, was now a good guy. We had forced the Reformation and so the Trinitarians were forced to accept the Protestant Division and Counter Reformation to stop us from taking over and restoring the religious system in Europe then. God allowed it because it was 500 years too early. Satan’s rule would have been cut too short and he would have had too much time at the other end.

As soon as the Trinitarians took over and declared themselves, the groups of the COG (SD) outside of the US began leaving in droves and they are now coming to us. Virtually all of them in Africa have joined us and it will commence in the US and Caucasian Commonwealth soon.

They were able to do it in the US because the penetration of the Churches of God was concentrated there in the US. The sequence has always been the same. The doctrine of the Mystery and Sun Cults is established. At first they concentrated on Sunday as the day of worship and then they went to Easter and the counterfeit of the god Baal/Attis/Adonis/Osiris. Christmas is not essential at first but they slip it in later when it is convenient. The Sun Festival of 25 December was in Israel in the Seventh century BCE until Baal worship was ended with the captivity and the Restoration under Ezra and Nehemiah. It became a more subtle attack on the laws of God under the Pharisees.

After the establishment of the church under Christ and the apostles, the Gnostics attacked and so did the Mystery and Sun cults. The sequence was: Sunday was introduced in 111 CE; then Easter in 154 CE; and in 170 the theology of Attis was begun as Binitarianism in the church in Rome and Alexandria. In 192 CE they split the church from Rome with the heretic bishop Victor of Rome. In 325 they declared Binitarianism. However, Binitarianism was declared to be a heresy in 327 and The Empire was returned to the Unitarian faith from 327 to 381 CE when the Trinitarian system was adopted from Constantinople in 381 CE.

Then, in 475 CE, the Winter Solstice festival of the birth of the Sun God (24/25 December) was introduced into Christianity from Syria.

They also used Binitarianism to crack the Waldensians in West Europe at the Reformation and they became Trinitarian. They used Binitarianism to crack the Adventists and the Seventh Day Baptists and the COG (SD) (see the paper Binitarian and Trinitarian Misrepresentation of the Early Theology of the Godhead (No. 127b)).

The Ditheism of the WCG was so incoherent they thought they could afford to go straight to the Trinitarianism of the US Protestants and then into Antinomianism and Gnosticism. They underestimated the members. Had they gone to Binitarianism first, they may have held their heretical control of the WCG and prevented the splits. However, they were unable to see what the reactions would be.  Their arrogance concerning the brethren of the WCG was breathtaking. See the papers Ditheism (No. 076b) and The 18 Restored Truths of Herbert W. Armstrong (No. 233b) for the basis of their errors in theology.

It is a fair statement to say that if they had held the WCG together the ministry would probably still be there. They had to follow the people who simply would not accept straight out Trinitarianism.

Now their pseudo-theologians are trying to start back on the track of Binitarianism so they can start the Trinitarian brainwashing all over again to get the offshoots to the Trinitarian heresy again. The problem is that many of the members are not able to see what these people are doing.

To see the dreadful abuse of fiduciary duty and the brainwashing that went on in WCG the following letters, although wrong in their theological assumptions, are nevertheless indicative of the impact and total disillusionment of the church.

Until the members are strong enough to get over this damage and reorganise away from this abusive and corrupt ministry, they will never be able to be used for the work of the faith in the Last Days.

Remember, all of the attacks against the church stem from the aims of the adversary. Whether they are the undermining by Trinitarians of the doctrines, or the fiduciary abuse by people like Herbert Armstrong and the board that condoned and allowed the corruption and fraud, they are all aimed at destroying the Church of God in the Last Days.

God has allowed it but He will now tear the sheep out of the hands of the shepherds and restore the “Faith once delivered.” These heresies or divisions were allowed to strengthen the brethren and prepare them to go on to a better and more wholesome organisation and the faith once delivered to the saints.

From this New Moon on we will see more and more reorganisation and restoration. The reorganisation will be fought by the plants and the self-interested that have been sent among us. Pray we are able to be put together as one body speaking the same thing in faith and brotherly love. If we cannot run a church of the elect in a just and biblical manner how can we expect to run the world under Christ from Jerusalem in the Millennium? It is about time we got mobile and dealt with the tasks we were called to perform.
