Christian Churches of God - Sabbath Message

This week we had the Day of Trumpets and the beginning of the Seventh Month. The Day of Atonement is in six days on the Tenth of the month and the Feast is in ten days time. Today is the feast of Idul Fitr of Islam due to their crazy mixed up Calendar and sighting system (see the paper Hebrew and Islamic Calendar Reconciled (No. 053)). It is also the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the US. To assist in the inflaming of world tensions a pastor in Florida has promoted using today as the International Qur’an Burning Day. There are only 50 people in the congregation and some probably barely literate but the pea brained idea is drawing attention from all over the Muslim world and, if they continue, it is probable that a Fatwah will be issued on this Dove World Outreach Centre in Florida and on Terry Jones. The sad fact is that it won’t be just Jones that gets killed. Many others will suffer also. Remember this fact: people have been executed for speaking against Moses and Christ in Muslim countries.

The incitement to violence currently being engendered by people in the US will not only bounce back on them. There is a large campaign being started by “Christian” bigots to inflame this war between Islam and Christianity and also between Judaism and Islam and Communism and the capitalist West. It has been the Satanist agenda for over a century from the US and Rome itself. The plan is outlined in the paper 2012 and the Antichrist (No. 299D). These people are not Christians. They are Trinitarian Gnostics and they know nothing of the original Christian faith.

Gen. Petraeus has condemned the idea and said it will unnecessarily endanger American troops in Afghanistan. These hair brained ideas, from the invasions themselves, have already made the world a far less safe place and will no doubt plunge the entire world into further conflict. The problem is that it is not just these US people, who probably don’t go out of their towns let alone overseas, that are in danger. The troops of other nations trying to help Afghanistan are endangered as well as any person entering the other nations and even those living in other nations.

CCG has large numbers of people that import Bibles into Muslim countries and distribute them to our brethren. We have Christian Churches in many countries and this places us all in danger. War in the Middle East is imminent and it is not the fault of Saddam Hussein or the Afghans or the Muslims in the Middle East. It is the deliberate contrivance of the power brokers of the US and NATO planners and the religious Imams who are paid by the wealthy power elite. The US forces are being transferred to Kuwait and the forces from Iraq are being mobilised and are on notice for redeployment to Kuwait in another year or so in late 2011. This is a re-deployment for the invasion of Iran and it will happen anytime now perhaps even using the New Moon and the end of the fast of Ramadan. None of these people understands what is to happen in the Middle East. The Muslims think they can ignore the Bible and it won’t happen. The Jews don’t want the restoration as it is written in Scripture. The Trinitarians think they can pretend it won’t happen as it is written in Scripture and they all think they can kill one another and stop it. Zechariah 12 gives us the Oracle of the lord. Zechariah 14 says what will happen. We have explained what will happen to them all and the nations in the sequence of the next Jubilee starting the Millennium. See the paper The Golden Jubilee and the Millennium (No. 300).

In 2009 we again reviewed our position. There is no reason to be more optimistic about the future of the planet in the short term than the previous years. We are all simply stunned by the comments that we hear coming out of the US since the Obama election victory. Last year a comment was played over National Radio to wry amusement on the part of the radio hosts. It was of a Southern Baptist minister in the US declaring that he prayed “every day for President Obama to die and go to Hell.” Not much has changed. People outside of the US find it difficult to believe the unchristian mentality of these bigots. Firstly, it is directly contrary to the Bible and the Laws of God. It is written: “Thou shall not revile the elohim nor the ruler of thy people” (Ex. 22:28). The Second Great Commandment is to love thy neighbour as thyself.

What an extraordinary mentality for so-called ministers of religion to pray for the death of another man, much less the leader of their nation. Many of us find it difficult to comprehend that these people confuse this behaviour with freedom of speech. This behaviour permeates the culture of some peoples and the legacy of hate leads to war and persecution. The false religious system that teaches men that God sends people to a heaven or hell is another strange and false doctrine that entered so-called Christianity from Gnosticism. Even Islam has developed the false religious notion from misunderstanding the Koran and the Bible.

This year the anti-Muslim propaganda emanating from the US is directed at the conditioning of the US for war with Iran and ultimately China. The convert to Roman Catholicism Tony Blair is now conditioning the UK to “inevitable” war with Iran. He is doing so at the behest of Rome. He is and was their puppet. The price that will be paid for this stupidity will be the crippling of the Middle East and the complete restructuring of the Middle East and the steppes. A third of the world will die as a result of the machinations there over the next few years.

We now know how the withdrawal from Iraq was accomplished so smoothly after it was announced by President Obama. He announced it was to be done by the end of the month of August and they accomplished it in two weeks: A masterpiece of military planning? They moved into Kuwait. Are they getting ready for return to America? It appears not as they are ordering redeployment to Kuwait as far as a year in advance to next November 2011. How did they get these Heavy Combat Teams out of Iraq in two weeks? It was easy. They simply changed the names of the majority of the Heavy Brigade Combat Teams to Advise and Assist Brigades. So the Iraqi Force was simply renamed and a notional figure of 50,000 men was provided with a new Communications Zone protected by Heavy Brigade Combat Teams and the rest of the force in place so that an invasion of Iran is enabled with all forces in place from Kuwait right around Iran to Pakistan. They now will simply await the decision from the Israelis when the planning and threat levels are reached and the attack is launched. The war then is organised such that the Afghanistan and the other “Stans” provide the alarm from the East and North referred to in Daniel for the king of the North to invade the Islamic countries and the reactionary invasion of Europe.

Rome itself will be destroyed and the religious system based on Rome will be completely destroyed throughout the world. Their own prophecies state that fact (cf. the paper The Last Pope (No. 288)).That is because they realise that their religious system is not a biblical religion and has to be destroyed. The occupation of the Holy Land will be quite unlike anything expected by Judaism or Islam or the Trinitarian/Binitarian Christians. None of their corrupt calendar systems will be allowed to survive. Their systems of worship will be changed in accordance with the Temple system under the true Temple Calendar.

We look to that other era. This week symbolizes the return of the Messiah and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. This is the First Resurrection of the Dead and the commencement of the rule of the Saints. Over the next ten days we see the process of the reconciliation of the planet to God and then Tabernacles. The Feast of Tabernacles represents the process of the millennial rule of the Messiah from Jerusalem for 1000 years. This same seven-day period of Tabernacles is represented each week with the six thousand years of the working week and the rule of Satan, and the Sabbath represents the rule of Christ. The Seven days of Tabernacles represents the complete working cycle under the law of God, which the Sabbath itself represents. The Last Great Day represents the complete Second Resurrection of the Dead and the Great White Throne Judgment.

If you come across any who say they are Christians and who say that when they die they go to heaven do not believe or accept that they are Christians (cf. Justin Martyr (Dial. LXXX)). They are not Christians; they are Gnostic imposters. This doctrine is the decisive test of a true Christian. A true Christian is one who believes and looks for the Resurrection of the Dead and the millennial rule of Christ on earth for 1000 years, and then the Second Resurrection of all men to judgment and correction and ultimate salvation. We should pray for the diseased minds and thinking that have been affected by these false teachers of false Islam, pseudo Christianity and post-Temple Judaism which will not be allowed to survive and will be dead by the Millennium along with the other idolatrous cults emanating from India and Asia generally. Pray for each other and the leaders of our people. Love one another and thereby show that you love God.
This Feast we hope to issue a few new papers as we did last year. One paper last year dealt with the way in which the Churches of God were led into the Ditheist heresy and back into the Trinitarian heresy through Binitarianism. Hopefully God will deal with this matter and open the minds of the brethren of the Churches of God so that they might see and hear and understand and repent. The paper follows on from the paper Binitarianism and Trinitarianism (No. 076) and is called Ditheism (No. 076b). There are other papers available such as Origins of Radical Unitarianism and Binitarianism (No. 76C).

The other paper last Feast dealt with the organization of the church through to the coming of the Messiah and lays out the Bible structure of the government of God under David and the Church of God. It forms Chapters 1 and 2 of CCG Standing Operating Procedures (A3) and is placed on the web for the restructuring of the administration.

Last year CCG became what was indisputably the largest of the Churches of God on the planet and it became time to implement the next phase of the organisation of the Churches of God.

We look toward a new era and a new way of living and caring for one another. When we are finished there will be no homeless and no person unable to afford treatment and healing. No one will be unemployed and there will be no companies that exploit the people and no lobbies and no usury. There will be no slavery or sex traffic of any sort. There will be no law that does not embody the law of God. There will be no Sharia law that is a travesty of the Laws of God. We now have a little strength and we will exercise what little strength we have to develop a society that is a loving, caring entity that is peaceful and cares and develops the people in the community in which it resides. One day we will grow into a mountain that covers the earth and no one will make us afraid.

This period may well start the countdown to the Messiah. We know that after the Two Witnesses are here there is only a short period to go. They will preach for 1260 days and lie dead for three days and then are raised from the dead with the saints and rule the planet from Jerusalem with Messiah (see the paper The Witnesses (including the Two Witnesses (No. 135)).

Pray that we can see the Witnesses in Jerusalem clothed in sackcloth. That will give us all a definitive direction to our operations and correct any minor mistakes we may have made. Once they are in place there will be no negotiation. We are either right or we are in error and we have to correct the error or fall under the penalty of the laws of God. The Witnesses will restore the nexus of the law.

God has established us to publish the gospel of the Kingdom of God in the Last Days and we are doing that now in great effort. To do that properly He had to cleanse us of error and get these doctrines published. People are joining us now in the thousands and at the rate of at sometime ten churches or more each day. God has sent us over every hill to recover His sheep as He said through his servant Ezekiel (esp. chapter 34). Our officers have been travelling to the former Churches of God that were scattered by incompetent or corrupt shepherds. This Month of Elul past we have amassed literally hundreds of churches in many nations. We are receiving approaches from people all over the world from those old and new seeking the truth. They are joining us at a far greater rate than they did last year. The growth is exponential. The spirit of God is drawing many to Him and from last Feast as we stated we saw much happen and the growth is massive.

Have you ever wondered why some of these “snake handlers,” the pseudo-ministers, proclaim with great authority that Antichrist will try to re-establish the law of Moses and build a Temple at Jerusalem? That is exactly what the Bible says Christ is going to do. Their theology is Gnostic and they will all be removed from the return of the Messiah. We will all be sending our national representatives to Jerusalem at the Feast of Tabernacles or we will be punished with drought and famine and plague (Zech. 14:16-19) and Scripture cannot be broken. We will all be keeping the Sabbaths and the New Moons or we will die. There will be no negotiation in the millennial system.

The earth had 6000 years to do as it wished in false religious systems. 1997 saw the 6000 years from the Creation of Adam. 2027 is 6000 years from the closure of Eden and the 120th Jubilee of the satanic era. During the Millennium we will all follow the laws of God and we will keep His festivals or we will suffer the consequences. The day of Trumpets symbolized the commencement of that restoration under Messiah. The Jubilees are all identified from the pages of the Bible and we know the Sabbaths and our time frames. Look at the papers Meaning of Ezekiel’s Vision (No. 108); Reading the law with Ezra and Nehemiah (No. 250) and also Distortion of God’s Calendar in Judah (No. 195b).

Sound doctrine is drawing many to the faith. Pray that God establishes us and completes the restoration. Our officers declare publicly that they have never seen anything like it.

What has happened over the last twelve months since last Trumpets has been nothing short of miraculous. We have doubled in size again by Passover and more than doubled again by Trumpets.

Because we have had so much new growth the papers given out last feast period will be used again for this feast period as the new people have to be taught. You old hands simply use the opportunity to discuss the papers with the new brethren. They are the vast majority now.

One of the basic reasons for the growth was that the ministry and members of the other Churches of God have joined us from everywhere because of the restoration of the true doctrines of the Churches of God. Even our local minsters can’t keep pace with it all. Walter Okello is having difficulty keeping up with Kenya, let alone all of the surrounding areas. He just returned from the coast at Mombasa. The churches have grown so much there that there were over 860-odd adults and who knows how many children there, and there will be a very large feast site there. Also 19 new churches are waiting for induction in Western Equatoria, Sudan. On Trumpets the association of Baptist Churches of the Congo with 36 congregations in Maniema and Katanga provinces approached us for membership.

Congo also advises that this week from Monday they inducted 40 Churches as follows: Mudhimba went to Rushuru to induct 18 churches and Niyonzima Jean went to Masisi inducting 22 churches from Lubero and Walikale. They were baptised on Thursday.

Niyonzima Jean will go to south Kivu on Friday; this to induct 12 churches. The funds for inducting them were funded from the tithes of Goma churches.

Adele Lotsaye is organizing sites of the feasts in North Congo so we should have a report about sites of feasts this week on Friday.

Also in Kisangani 14 churches were inducted and Adele is working on the records of them into a spreadsheet. So 85 churches were inducted in the Congo and the Sudan this week with another 36 scheduled for induction in Katanga (121 churches) and with many other churches inducted in Kenya and Tanzania and elsewhere.

Kenya has now been divided into counties for the feasts with massive feasts at Mombasa County, Migori County at Rongo, Kisii County, Kisumu County, Homa Bay County, Siaya County, and the Rift at Eldoret, and Meru County. New groups are being formed in the disputed territories in the north on the border with Ethiopia and Sudan. All of the nations are dividing into areas with massive feasts sites everywhere in West Africa, North Africa, East and Central Africa and the Southern regions. Sites in North Africa, the Middle East and Zanzibar will not be disclosed for safety reasons. The nations are helping others now in large numbers and the tithe system is working well now in the developing countries and assistance is flowing well to the needy.

Bizimana Bosco has reported that Uganda had two meetings at Kampala and Masaka of all CCG Coordinators, secretaries and treasurers of each district and they organised the sites.

CCG Ssemabule District with 31 groups was divided into three sites as it is cheap for them to get to the feast places and for transportation.

The remaining districts have tried to organise and divide the sites according to the nearest sub/counties or county as some districts who are nearer to others will be able to use one place chosen in their districts.

CCG Kasese Town Council, CCG Hima Town Council and CCG Fort Portal will use one place and all will come to the Feast at Kasese.

Bizimana has to attend the feasts at Ssembabule as the three sites chosen will be attended by many thousands of people. Some of these sites will be the biggest feasts ever organised by the Churches of God.

Another big site will be Lira as some sub-counties that are bordering with Lira district from other districts will go to attend the feasts at Lira. Bizimana noted more than 20 churches will be attending the feasts there. He also reports that the big sites have rented vehicles for helping with the services. Almost 200 churches will attend the various sites in Uganda. The Eastern Congo is spread over six provinces and they are still organising. There are many hundreds of groups to organise and many churches are still being inducted. Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, Rwanda and Burundi, CAR, the Sudan, Ethiopia, Ghana, Togo and Benin and elsewhere are also organising. All people are to contact their national coordinators. Anyone wishing to attend out of their areas is requested to contact secretary@ccg.org.

We need to keep good control over inter-feast movement to avoid confusion. All members are to attend their sites with their fellowship forms complete and stamped and also photo ID complete as the forms and ID will be required for meal tickets.

At our current rate of growth the feasts in 2012 will be simply massive and we have commenced organisation already. The feasts of 2011 will be in effect a practice run for 2012.

Please have all choir masters appointed and use the feasts to rehearse for video recordings of the choirs. We will use the Passover 2011 for district practices and national competitions at Tabernacles in 2011. In 2012 at Tabernacles it will be the World Conference competition. The national teams will be selected at Passover and the World Conference will be formed from the resident national team with selected representatives from other nations attending. The songs will be agreed on the year before. Recordings of national songs will be recorded and shown also at the Reading of the Law using DVDs.
