Sabbath Message 17/3/34/120

Dear Friends,

Psalm 95 points to the fact that God loathed “that generation” and would not let them enter into His rest.

This forty years is a symbol of repentance and thirty years is a symbol of mourning and of waiting. “This generation” is the generation that Christ referred to that would not pass away until all the things of the end would be accomplished.

Psalm 95: [1] O come, let us sing to the LORD; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! [2] Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! [3] For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. [4] In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. [5] The sea is his, for he made it; for his hands formed the dry land. [6] O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! [7] For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. O that today you would hearken to his voice! [8] Harden not your hearts, as at Mer'ibah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness, [9] when your fathers tested me, and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work. [10] For forty years I loathed that generation and said, "They are a people who err in heart, and they do not regard my ways." [11] Therefore I swore in my anger that they should not enter my rest.

The time sequence that was to form the last days was composed of three sections consisting of 110 years. The Prophecy of Pharaoh’s Broken Arms was outlined in the paper The Fall of Egypt Part 1 (No. 036) and the Fall of Egypt Part 2 (No. 036b). The sequence went over 2520 years from the establishment of the Babylonians at Carchemish and the defeat of Egypt in 605 BCE over the period of two arms of forty years to the defeat and occupation of Egypt in 525 BCE under Cambyses. These two periods were linked in a gap to the years 1916 and spanning to the year 1996-7 which was the end of the period of the time of the nations, and the establishment of the One World System of the Beast began in 1997 (see the papers WWIII: Part 1 The Empire of the Beast (No. 299A) and WWIII Part II: The Whore and the Beast (No. 299B)).

The period of the first Thirty Years commenced the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. That period was from 1916 to 1946. The wars were designed to break the power of the Nations in WWI and WWII. These wars were planned by the Satanists as was WWIII. This sequence is explained in the paper 2012 and the Antichrist (No. 299D).

In 1946 the nation of Israel began to be restored and in 1948 the first wars of the restoration occurred. These wars continued on until 1967 when Jerusalem was reunited under the nation of Israel. This sequence was explained under the prophecy of the 2300 evenings and mornings of the prophet Daniel as explained in the papers Advent of the Messiah (No. 210A) and Outline Timetable of the Age (No. 272). The structure of the Levites in Judah began to be dealt with over these two periods. They have not repented and their progress as it is developing is outlined in the paper The False Messiah (No. 067B).

In 1946 the religious systems of the nations was begun to be dealt with and the process was developed in the Churches of God. That system was corrupt but nevertheless was allowed to be established. The sequence was as follows. The following is an excerpt from the Sabbath Message of Sabbath 06/6/30/120   (18 August 2007 - Part 1):

“According to Herbert Armstrong’s autobiography, volume 2, chapter 50 titled, “A Momentous Year”, on pages 123 and 124, he records that 1946 was the year of BEGINNINGS of an organized major national and worldwide work for WCOG.   He draws our attention to the following: 

• Page 123: “Actually, 1946 was the year of BEGINNINGS, as an organized major national and worldwide work.”
• “This was the year in which our own printing department was started.”
• “This was the first year in which the full impact was felt of three superpower radio stations, blanketing the entire United States and reaching even Canada and Alaska.”
• “This was the first year in which we had the impact of six-nights-a-week broadcasting, at an early prime listening hour, coast to coast.”
• “This was the year in which the first baptizing tour was taken.  It covered the four corners of the United States, and much of the middle section of the country besides.”
• Page 124: “And this was the year in which the founding of Ambassador College was conceived, planned, and the first block of property for the new campus acquired in Pasadena.  This college was to be the means of training of the growing personnel for the fast-expanding organized work.
• “Now notice the startling significance in the fact this all happened in this particular year!”

He continues on page 124 of his autobiography, “Looking back in retrospect, it is truly amazing to recall how many things, lifting this almost obscure minor effort to the dynamic worldwide FORCE God’s work is becoming today, had their beginnings in 1946.”

This 40-year period is highly significant, as we shall see.  In E.W. Bullinger’s book, Number in Scripture, the number “40” represents probation, trial, and chastisement, and he gives 15 examples which appear in Scripture.  One example stands out: from the time of Christ’s death to the destruction of the 2nd Temple in Jerusalem was forty years.

1946 was the beginning of the worldwide work according to Herbert Armstrong.  He states that we are to take note of the “startling significance” of what occurred in that year.  No truer words were spoken regarding the events of 1946!  The year 1946 began the 40-year probation, trial, and chastisement period of the worldwide work under Mr. Armstrong.  Every work, whether of an individual or collective effort, must be tried and tested for its worth to God – no exceptions. 

In 1986, exactly 40 years from its beginnings in 1946, Herbert Armstrong died and all that was built as a worldwide work under his direction and leadership virtually died with him.  God literally destroyed the works of WCOG and its ministry as it slithered into Trinitarianism. 

We see confusion in the understanding of the true nature of the One True God and His Son Jesus Christ.  It is now systemic throughout the off-shoots of the former Worldwide COG system.  Ministers and brethren alike in these off-shoots are unable to sort this matter out. Their publications and public statements on the Internet reveal the same shallow weakness in understanding Scripture as their predecessor.”

In 1987 God began the judgment of the Temple of God and this measurement was stated by the apostate Joseph W. Tkach to each of the churches in the nations he visited. He did away with the Law of God and died in agony 40 weeks after he gave the sermon. 40 again is the number of repentance.

This period began the final forty years of “This Generation” mentioned by Messiah. In 1994 exactly seven years after it was publicly announced the Trinity and Trinitarianism in the WCG God smashed it and commenced a new work under CCG. These activities commenced in the Third year of the Sabbath cycle. God repeatedly used the Third years of the Sabbath cycles to implement changes. In 1997 some ten years later the final period of thirty years began. This was the period of the Mourning for Moses. The final Thirty days before Israel entered the Promised Land.

The year 2001, again a third year of the cycle, was used to bring the Anglo-Saxons under judgment and commence the Wars of the End that we know as WWIII. This sequence will continue over the period 2012 to 2015. In the year 2008 God began to deal with Africa and the religions of the world. That process will continue now until the next Third year of 2015.

Over these years the world conflicts and tensions will increase. War will increase and the elimination of vast areas of the planet will occur through weaponised diseases such as Bubonic Plague in E Coli bacteria that we have seen in Germany recently. It is utterly impossible that the deadly form of E Coli there in Germany could have developed naturally. The form of Bubonic Plague there is reported to have become resistant to all eight strains of antibiotics which are in fact not used in agriculture. It had to be a weaponised form.

These weaponised diseases will escalate and become the source of the death of a quarter of the planet between now and 2025. Between 2012 and 2025 over one third of the planet will die from nuclear, and high tech engineered weapons and cybernetic organisms in war.

The Messiah will return to save us and to keep us from the hour of trial that is to come upon the whole earth. The world will be required to keep the Laws of God and the Sacred Calendar. If you don’t have the Lord’s Supper and the Day of Atonement on the correct day you will be cut off from the church and your people. If you don’t keep the Sabbaths and New Moons you will die (Isa. 66:23). If you don’t send your representatives to Jerusalem after 2027 your nation will be struck with famine and the plagues of Egypt and it will begin to die until you repent.

What we have to understand is that the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble” will simply escalate and the judgment will be at the house of God first. The Churches of God that do not keep the Sacred Calendar and follow the Hillel abomination will also die. It will begin in the US and the British Commonwealth and also in the Commonwealth of Nations. The shepherds who steal from the brethren will also be sent to the Second Resurrection and they will also die.

The period upon us is the time of our judgment and how we act and what we do will determine our place in the Resurrection of the dead and the Kingdom of God.

Pray we are purged with hyssop and cleansed.
