Sabbath 26/4/38/120

Dear Friends, 

Four years ago on 17/3/34/120 after Pentecost I wrote a Sabbath Message dealing with Psalm 95 and the fact that Psalm 95 points to the fact that God loathed “that generation” and would not let them enter into His rest. I then dealt with the fact of that Generation and applied it to the forty years of the Armstrong system from 1946 to his death in 1986 and then the commencement of the measuring of the Temple beginning in 1987.  It was thirty years from 1916 to 1946 over the beginning of the Times of Jacob’s Trouble.  1916 ended the 2520 years from the Battle of Carchemish and started the two forty year periods of the prophecy of Pharaoh’s Broken Arms; see below.

This period of 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. That began in 1987 and will end with the Jubilee of 2026-2027.  The time of the Beast power began preparation in 1956 with the treaty of Rome and commenced implementation in 1997 over the Last Thirty years or the period of the Mourning for Moses.

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 (No. 36) and Fall of Egypt Part II: The Wars of the End (No. 36_2).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 World War III: Part I 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 began 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 wasconceived, 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 Herbert Armstrong.  Every work, whether of an individual or collective effort, must be tried and tested for its worth to God – no exceptions. 

In the First year of the 120th jubilee 1978 the WCG began to implement the Systematic Theology Project which had the aim of introducing Trinitarianism.  In that same year they removed Garner Ted Armstrong for immorality and he began the Church of God International.

In  January 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.

We are continually being asked why God does not restore the WCG and the Offshoots to a functioning system.  The answer is that He has judged them and scattered them to the four winds and their ministry is being destroyed and their false doctrines eliminated.  We see letters pleading with this apostate ministry to recombine but the answer is they don’t know what they believe and they won’t and can’t work together because the Holy Spirit refuses to allow them to work or to exercise any authority.

They have false doctrines on the nature of God and thus a false Calendar and are not permitted to do the work in the Last Days.

This period from 1987 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. This was 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.  This period of the 19 year time cycle ending in 2015 ends with Solar and Lunar eclipses marking the correct New Moons and cycles  The  time cycle from 2016 to 2025 will also see these Solar and Lunar eclipses and in 2016 the Hillel Jewish Calendar will be a month out. The churches of God will be dealt with over that period. The tetrads also go from this cycle to 2034 as pointed out in the paper Signs in the Heavens: Part I (No. 38A).

The last time this series of eclipses occurred was also of significance to the Jews in Israel and marked the 1967 war and the unification of Jerusalem from that year, involving Passover of 1968. That was 9.5 years before the Jubilee commenced in Atonement 1977. It was the sixth year of the Sabbath Cycle, and Jerusalem was in Israeli hands for the Sabbath year one cycle before the Reading of the Law. Of course Judah did not keep the Sabbaths or the Reading of the Law but that is irrelevant to the Restoration and they will do as they are told over this sequence. An eclipse of the Moon is always red for those who would make much of the colour.

The significance of the tetrads has been noticed as reported in the article. The same tetrad of blood-red moons occurred after Israel became a nation in 1948 and it happened in the First and Seventh months in 1949 and 1950.

In 2015, total solar eclipses also occurred on the New Year on 20 March 2015 and a total lunar eclipse on 4 April 2015, which was the day after the First Holy Day beginning the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

There is a partial solar eclipse on the Day of Trumpets on Sunday, 13 September 2015. On Sunday, 27 September, on the First Holy Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, there is a total Lunar Eclipse. Even with these events we only saw a modicum of awareness among the churches of God.  Over the next cycle from 2016 to 2034 we will see a sequence of events that will implement the Temple Calendar.  On the twelfth year we will see the Jubilee end in 2027 and the New Jubilee commence in 2028. This tetrad will commence the First Sabbath year of the new Millennium and the Laws of God will be read again to commence this next system.

Over these years to 2025 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 four years ago. It was 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.  North Korea is also developing weapons and will also supply these weapons to the Middle East to circumvent sanctions.

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 biochemical, nuclear, and high tech engineered weapons and cybernetic organisms in war.

The Final sequence of the Heavenly Signs is examined in the paper The Heavenly Signs of the Sixth Seal in Context (No. 038B). The Timetable of those signs and their sequence in prophecy is also examined timing the 2300 evenings and mornings to the Battle of the Granicus and to 1967 with the reclamation of Jerusalem by Judah and the tetrads involved in that sequence.

The Seven-year period of the subjugation of the planet must be finished prior to the commencement of the Jubilee Year from Atonement in 2026 and its end in 2027 and the commencement of the New or Jubilee of Jubilees from the Restorations of Ezra and Nehemiah in 2028 (see the papers Reading the Law with Ezra and Nehemiah (No. 250) and The Fall of Jericho (No. 142)).
                                                                                                  
It thus becomes obvious that Christ has to be here, at the very latest, between 2019 and 2024 due to the treble harvest requirements in 2025 under Biblical Law.

In the last week of years prophesied by Daniel in 9:25 and fulfilled under Messiah and the church at the fall of the Temple in 70 CE we saw the period develop where the destruction of the Temple system and the priesthood occurred from 66 CE to 70 CE which was the beginning of the last Sabbath cycle before the Jubilee in 77 CE (see the paper War With Rome and the Fall of the Temple (No. 298)).  The physical Temple and priesthood were destroyed and the spiritual system of the Church took over as the new Temple.  In 2016 exactly 20 Jubilees later the final false system of Judah will begin to be totally destroyed.  Jerusalem will be warned and cleansed.  The false or pseudo Levite system will be corrected and prepared to commence the final week of years of the 120th Jubilee.

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.
