New Moon  01/02/46/120

Dear Friends,

This is the New Moon of the Second Month. It is the Twelfth Day of the Omer Count to Pentecost. We came through the 21 Days of the Sanctification of the First Month and we were pleased with our work over the Passover and Unleavened Bread. We should be aware of what is happening over that period and with Israel at Sinai. It is important that we look at the Ascents of Moses (No. 070) at Sinai. Moses went up and down the mountain six times in order to work with Christ and record the laws of God and deliver them to Israel and complete the laws over the Pentateuch. 

The Trinitarian systems deny that it was Christ at Sinai, as the Angel of the Presence and that he gave the Law to Moses. Were they to admit that fact they would have to admit that logically the law cannot be altered and that Christ will restore the Law when he returns. Rather than admit that Biblical fact (see Acts 7:30-53; 1 Cor. 10:1-4) they were prepared to kill, destroy, or defame the saints of the Churches of God that taught the truth. That restoration involves the restoration of God's Calendar (No. 156). No minister purporting to be of the Churches of God can use and teach the Hillel Calendar, and indeed cannot expect to be allowed entry to the millennial system if they have not repented before the arrival of the Messiah. None of their predecessors accepted Hillel over the ages until Armstrong and Dugger introduced the modified Hillel Calendar (see ## 195; 195C) to the Church of God (Seventh Day) in the 1940s. That was why the Sardis system and also Laodicea of Revelation Ch. 3 were destroyed, or are being destroyed. They will not be in the First Resurrection (No. 143A) without timely repentance. They will also take those  that follow them, with them into the Second Resurrection (No. 143B).

Rather than admit the historical facts of the heresies and persecutions of the ages (see #122C and F044vii) they would rather destroy those who point out the truth to them. That will come to an end soon under the Witnesses (No. 141D) and then the Messiah and the Host (see ##141E and 141E_2).

We baptised and inducted two churches in Malawi over Passover and Unleavened Bread and we also have another church there come to us with 1900 people in one area saying that they have studied the Statement of Beliefs A1 and they wish to be inducted and baptised.  We are now attending to that pleasant task. We now have many thousands in the church in Malawi. There are now untold thousands of people in CCG in Africa. More than there were in WCG at its peak in the entire world in the Twentieth Century.

We hope that the offshoots of the COGs repent soon as they will not be allowed to live into the Millennium as they are now. There is no easy way into the Kingdom of God. For straight is the way and narrow is the path and few there be that find it (Matt. 7:13-14). Over the last forty years two entire eras of the Churches of God are removed and cast out. Only a very few enter the Kingdom of God and the First Resurrection. Do not gamble your salvation on these false doctrines.
