New Moon 1/12/34/120                                                                                                 

Dear Friends,

It has come to my attention that some coordinators and groups are not keeping the New Moons and not teaching the Sermons and Sabbath and New Moon messages. Also, it has been reported that there are some who are working on the Sabbath. Any person not keeping the Sabbath and the New Moons is to be removed from the church.

This message is a formal warning to all churches of the Christian Churches of God no matter where they are located.  Any church and coordinator that does not properly keep the Sabbaths and New Moons and provide the Sabbath messages and sermons and New Moon messages and sermons will be removed both from their positions and from the church.

All churches are required to supervise these aspects by making sure that the Sabbath and New Moon messages are given out and read and studied in the church.  If any member sees that a coordinator is not complying by failing to keep the Sabbath and New Moon services and not reading the messages out on either days and not teaching the sermons on those days they are to be reported to World Conference and National Conference where it is not the National Coordinator involved.

The coordinator involved who is failing in his duties in these matters, irrespective of who he is, will be disciplined and removed whether that officer is a National Coordinator or not.

This New Moon is the New Moon of Adar the Twelfth Month of the 34th year of the 120th Jubilee. This moon is a very serious one and we have seen very serious matters occur in this period. 

Please take and study the papers Commentary on Esther (No. 63) and Commentary on Esther Part II: Purim in the Last Days (No. 63B).  The Story of Purim related to the attempt at the eradication of Judah by Haman the Agagite and the families of the sons of Agag. This sequence occurred in the Persian Empire and it was the Jewess Esther that married the King and was instrumental in saving the Jews at that time.

It is now at this late stage that the Iranians who now occupy the seats of the Persians that have sought to exterminate the Jews. Further, they are seeking to set up a nuclear facility that will make Iran a nuclear power and which may well promote an arms race all over the Middle East.  The story of Esther deals directly with the attempts to eliminate the Jews. They have every reason to be concerned.

Israel is concerned with the development of a nuclear Iran.  So also is the entire Middle East.  Israel is considering an armed strike on Iran to pre-empt their nuclear capacity.  Many are considering that they may do it in a couple of months after Passover.  However, it is over the next three weeks that the month of Adar develops up to the Feast of Purim and any contemplated strike on Iran would have no other symbolic time than this to see a military action taken by Israel.

It may be that Israel will put off such a strike but actions may be taken out of their hands by the behaviour of Iran as the choice of the strike at Purim was made not by Judah or Mordecai but by Haman and his manipulation of the king.  Judah had no choice but to strike pre-emptively at Haman right throughout the empire and it did so successfully for a number of days.  In the end Haman and his ten sons were all hanged at this time.

This struggle will not just occur over this month of Adar 34/120 but will continue on for the period of the end days.

This period also deals with the Church and the nation of the Tribes of Israel and does not simply deal with Judah and a few Elamites or Iranians.

This conflict could commence from this Adar and it will go on over some years until the wars of the end are completed.

We will develop those aspects over the next few years and publish the time frames in the near future.

Do not be surprised if the problems develop from the Month of Adar and we see the story of Purim unfold from Adar this year onwards for a number of years.

What is certain is that the next few years develops on to the coming of the Messiah. The world will be brought into captivity under Messiah and the church will enforce peace and the laws of God.

The church will enforce the Sabbaths, New moons and Feasts of God and His Calendar and the entire world will obey (see the paper God’s Calendar (No. 156)).  Those who cannot obey now and keep the Sabbaths, New Moons and Feasts in their entirety will not be there to assist Christ from the First Resurrection to run the world.

Fail now and you will be removed.  There are no second chances.
