Dear Friends,

At the end of the First Day of the Week we begin the Fast for the Sanctification of the Simple and Erroneous (No. 291).  This sanctification period was commanded by God through the prophet Ezekiel (Ezek. 45:20).  It was kept by Christ and the apostles all their lives and by the church for centuries along with the entire Passover and Unleavened Bread period as commanded by Scripture. It was abandoned by the Sardis system and restored by the CCG restorations under the Philadelphian System.

The attacks on the Feasts of the Bible were undertaken by the devotees of the god Attis and the goddess Easter in the Quartodeciman Disputes from 154 to 192 in Rome, and the heresy of Easter was opposed by the Smyrna trained bishops, Polycarp who tried to oppose the heretical bishops in Rome,  Anicetus in 154 and with Polycrates opposing Victor in 192 CE. The affair is recorded by the Smyrna trained bishop of Lyon, Irenaeus, and his accounts are preserved by Eusebius and published in the text in the Annex of No. 291 above. 

Never in the history of the Churches of God had the Passover been so badly observed until the Sardis system was corrupted by Armstrong and the WCG after 1967.  More importantly the Sanctification period had never been kept by the Sardis system and was only restored in 1994 under CCG.

It is important that the paper be studied over the Fast so that we all understand what Christ and the apostles required of us.

The entire history has been obscured by the Binitarian and Trinitarian systems and that also includes the Sardis and Laodicean systems of the Churches of God and for which they are consigned to the Second Resurrection and the Great White Throne Judgment (No. 143B).  The only chance they have is to repent and correct their false doctrines under the Philadelphian system before the end of the Wars (Wars of the End Part 1: Wars of Amalek (No. 141C)) and the death of the Witnesses so that they might be able to enter the First Resurrection (No. 143A) at the Return of the Messiah in the very near future (cf. Wars of the End Part II: 1260 Days of the Witnesses (No. 141D) and Wars of the End Part III: Armageddon and the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141E)).  If they do not repent the Sardis and Laodicean systems will be wiped out in their entirety at Armageddon and under the Vials of the Wrath of God; and the members, if they are allowed to live, will move into the Millennium as humans and die there and await the Second Resurrection.  It is no joke.

If you are an ex-WCG or offshoots person or an Adventist you had better study these papers and see what really serious danger you are in. We all fast for you as well as the rest of the world.

You have only a short time ahead of you to repent.
