New Moon 01/05/43/120

Dear Friends, 

This is the New Moon of the Fifth Month Ab.  It is always associated with disaster in Israel. We are now going into the tribulation of the Last Days and this period is 80 years after the Holocaust of 1260 days in WWII which saw the era of the concentration camps and the destruction of Judaism.  We are about to go into the Second Phase of the weaponised viruses and a new virus has now emerged from China which is much more dangerous than their release of the COVID 19 virus.  We are then going into the War of the Sixth Trumpet which will kill a third of mankind. After that war we will see the establishment of the NWO that will last for 42 months and the great tribulation that will bracket the Holocaust. The end of that period is covered in the papers Wars of The End Part 1: Wars of Amalek (No. 141C) and Wars of the End Part II: 1260 Days of the Witnesses (No. 141D).    

After that tribulation we will see the Messiah and Wars of the End Part III: Armageddon and the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141E) and Wars of the End Part IIIB: War Against Christ (No. 141E_2). This sequence is 1335 days of massive tribulation.  Fortunately we will be spared the final Tribulation in the vials of the Wrath of God.  However Sardis and Laodicea will not.  We will be in the First Resurrection and we will be protecting our young from the Tribulation as well as subjugating the planet with the Loyal Host.

It is important that we all understand the role of the elect and the exposition of the Mysteries of God (No. 131). It is our responsibility to properly explain the Mysteries and the role of the Elect as Elohim (No. 001) and the Plan of Salvation (No. 001A) to the world prior to the Witnesses so that the Elect can be warned and reached before the Witnesses take over from us (cf. No. 141D above and No. 135).

These aspects were also covered in the Sabbath Message of Sabbath 9/1/38/120  http://www.ccg.org/weblibs/2015-messages/sabbath_message_090138120_(28mar15).html
In that Message we stated.
“From the Messiah’s own words, we must understand that once we enter into the New Covenant Temple system through him, we are not at liberty to establish our own ways independently from God’s Word and His divine Laws in our priestly service and commitment to God.  This is obvious from the Messiah’s parable of the 10 virgins in Matthew 25.  We must comprehend what is the process and commitment to become “born again”, and we must come to grips with the reality that only 5 of the 10 virgins were wise and acceptable to the Messiah.
Matt 25:1-13 (from GOD'S WORD Translation)

1. "When the end comes, the kingdom of heaven will be like ten bridesmaids. They took their oil lamps and went to meet the groom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
2. The foolish bridesmaids took their lamps, but they didn't take any extra oil.
3. The wise bridesmaids, however, took along extra oil for their lamps.
4. Since the groom was late, all the bridesmaids became drowsy and fell asleep.
5. "At midnight someone shouted, 'The groom is here! Come to meet him!'
6. Then all the bridesmaids woke up and got their lamps ready.
7. "The foolish ones said to the wise ones, 'Give us some of your oil. Our lamps are going out.'
8. "But the wise bridesmaids replied, 'We can't do that. There won't be enough for both of us. Go! Find someone to sell you some oil.'
9. "While they were buying oil, the groom arrived. The bridesmaids who were ready went with him into the wedding hall, and the door was shut.
10. "Later the other bridesmaids arrived and said, 'Sir, sir, open the door for us!'
11. "But he answered them, 'I don't even know who you are!'
12. "So stay awake, because you don't know the day or the hour.

This parable relates to the first resurrection and entering the millennial system with the Messiah.  All ten virgins started out in the beginning from their baptism with the Holy Spirit.  They all had oil in their lamps. But as time progressed, the 5 foolish virgins ran low of oil, that is, they were losing the Holy Spirit. When they realize their spiritual condition, they attempt to enter into the wedding supper on the coat-tails of the 5 wise virgins.  But it doesn’t work that way.  They have become disconnected from the Messiah and God through their indolence, and consequently the Messiah tells them that he never knew them.  They became disconnected from their covenant relationship with God and His Temple.  How did they become so disconnected from the Messiah?”

To further develop this parable we need to understand the composition of the function of the Ten Virgins and refer them back to the Ten Lampstands in the Temple of God (cf. Rule of the Kings Part III: Solomon and the Key of David (No. 282C)).  The Ten Lampstands are comprised of the Seven Lampstands symbolising the seven eras of the Churches of God outlined in Revelation chapters 2 and 3. Of these the Sardis and Laodicean systems are declared dead and spewed from the Mouth of God. So virtually two whole eras are rejected but of the other five of the seven there are those that are warned and have some individuals cast out from the other five.  These are the foolish five of the ten virgins in addition to the Two rejected of Sardis and Laodicea. The Ten Lampstands of the faith also have the last three being the two Witnesses of the last days of Revelation 11:3ff and also Messiah who is the final Lampstand of the Temple system. Messiah comes to take over the final phase of the Church of God as the Church of the Philadelphians. Who these are is explained by looking at another parable, which is the parable of the Vineyard. This parable refers to the period of the end “when the time came.”

Luke 20: [9] And he began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country for a long while.
[10] When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, that they should give him some of the fruit of the vineyard; but the tenants beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
[11] And he sent another servant; him also they beat and treated shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
[12] And he sent yet a third; this one they wounded and cast out.
[13] Then the owner of the vineyard said, `What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will respect him.'
[14] But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, `This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'
[15] And they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
[16] He will come and destroy those tenants, and give the vineyard to others." When they heard this, they said, "God forbid!"
[17] But he looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner'?
[18] Every one who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but when it falls on any one it will crush him."
[19] The scribes and the chief priests tried to lay hands on him at that very hour, but they feared the people; for they perceived that he had told this parable against them.

So this parable has the meaning of when the time came, meaning in the Last Days, Messiah was sent and the Jews conspired to kill him and to seize the inheritance for themselves.  They knew even then that he knew what they were to do to him but it also refers on to the end of the Last Days at the final phase of the Babylonian kingdoms of Daniel Chapter 2 when the stone not cut by human hands is to be sent and that system of the Babylonians was to be destroyed by the Stone that came from heaven and struck the idol on the ten toes which is the last phase of the empires of the idol. Remember that Judah and the Churches of God that keep Hillel are all part of the Babylonian system and they have to be eliminated.

Note that there were three messengers sent to the Jews and the false religions of the Last Days both of Sardis and of Laodicea Churches of God and the Babylonian systems in total. The first messenger was the last voice of the prophets of God before the final intervention.  He was badly abused and sent away empty handed. John the Baptist had already been executed before the Message of the Messiah. This was the voice of the prophet of Dan Ephraim spoken of by God though the prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 4:15, 16-27. This was that prophet referred to in the gospels, the voice that established the church of the Philadelphians which was prepared for Christ. They were all persecuted for the truth (cf. also Israel as the Vineyard of God (No. 001C)).

The next two messengers were the last before Messiah and these were Enoch and Elijah who were taken by God and brought forward in time to warn the world of the Coming Kingdom and the Wrath of God.  These two are to be killed after 1260 days and four days before the Messiah comes in the morning of the Fourth Day (see No 141D above). Judah will commence to be converted by their preaching in Jerusalem.

Messiah had already been killed and resurrected, and the church had been selected and baptised and hardened under persecution, even unto death. These were selected from all eras of the faith by God through His Omniscience through Predestination (No. 296). The Two Witnesses convert, or destroy those they do not convert, of Modern Judaism.

Then Messiah will come and deliver the Wrath of God on the world and destroy all false religion (cf. Wars of the End Part III: Armageddon and the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141E); Wars of the End Part IIIB: War Against Christ (No. 141e_2); and Wars of the End Part IV: End of False Religion (No. 141F)).

This is a great opportunity to prepare for the Messiah and to do the final aspect of the work of God before the Witnesses. Be strong and of good faith. Pray for our brethren.
