Sabbath 17/9/41/120

Dear Friends,

This Sabbath we continue on with the Wars of Amalek Series.  We have issued the papers:
Wars of Amalek [Part1] (No. 141C);
Wars of Amalek Part II: 260 Days of the Witnesses (No. 141D);
Wars of Amalek Part III: Armageddon and the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141E);
Wars of Amalek Part IV: The End of False Religion (No. 141F);
Wars of Amalek Part V: Restoration for the Millennium (No. 141G).

This week we are issuing the paper Wars of Amalek Part IIIB: War Against Christ (No. 141E_2).

It is important that the world understands the reality of the circumstances surrounding the coming of the Messiah, as most of the world will not recognise him and even the Churches of God may well be offended by what he tells them to do. Many of the Churches of God in the last days will not attain to the First Resurrection as they will not recognise the Witnesses and will not correct their errors in doctrines and beliefs in time and make sure that they attain the mark of God on their foreheads.  Those that do not make the corrections in time will be left with the task of making the best of the circumstances in which they find themselves.  They will have to go into the Millennium as humans if indeed they repent in time and are permitted that luxury. If you refuse to give up your worship of Herbert Armstrong, or Ellen G. White or Rutherford or Mary or also Christ, then Christ will rebuke you and if necessary, kill you. There will be no polytheism permitted in the Millennium.

It is important that we all realise that we have to keep God’s Calendar (No. 156). There is only one Church of God in the 21st century that is keeping the Temple Calendar, and has the lampstand, and that church is CCG.  The Hillel calendar is not the same as the Temple Calendar and was never kept in the Temple or by Christ and the apostles or the five eras of the church in the First Resurrection. It did not come into existence until 358 CE and was never accepted by anyone outside of Judaism and Judaisers until Armstrong and Dugger introduced it into the Sardis era in the 1940s. That doctrine and the polytheism of the doctrine asserting the co-eternality of Christ will ensure you are in the Second Resurrection unless you repent.  

Why do we care who makes it into the First Resurrection and who is consigned to the Second Resurrection? It is not our decision, nor our concern.  We are told to warn the world, and that commences with the Churches of God. We are warning you and whether you listen or not is your concern.  We simply are told to warn you, which we are doing. What you do about it is up to you. We would like to see you all survive and make the First Resurrection.  None of us know which resurrection it is to which we will be allocated. We all strive for the First Resurrection but every one of us will be in one or the other. There are only two resurrections and we have examined the Fallacy of the Third Resurrection (No. 166). We all work as if we are to attain the First Resurrection, but it is God who places us in either one.

Keep working as to win the race.  Help all those who ask for it and try to reach all those whom God wishes to be called and prepare all for the millennial system no matter their tasks and position in that system.

Do not be discouraged and love one another to show that you love God.
