Sabbath 04/01/46/120

Dear Friends,

Today we deal with the Sanctification of the Temple of God (No. 241), which Temple we are. We dealt with the Cleansing of the Temple (No. 241B) at the New Moon, and that began the sanctification process for the Passover. The proper observance of the Passover from the New Year through the full Feast of the Passover and Unleavened Bread to the Feast of Weeks or  Pentecost is the critical factor in the identification of the true Church of God. The Sanctification process continues from the New Moon as the New Year on to the Fast of Seven Abib which this year falls on the third day of the week (Tuesday). It is the fast for the Sanctification of the Simple and the Erroneous (No. 291) and has been kept over the Temple Period and by Christ and the entire church over the centuries. It was not kept in the Twentieth Century by the Churches of God until it was re-instated by CCG.

The Sanctification Process to Seven Abib enables all those in error to be cleansed and able to partake of the full Passover festivities and the renewal of their spirituality and that renewal is also extended to the people of the Israel of God  in general and the aliens among us. It is perhaps the single most important thing we, as the Church of God, do for the Sanctification of the  Nations (No. 077).  Never has such effort been more sorely needed and never has such a burden rested on so few among the European and British Commonwealth and American peoples.

The prophet Elijah got to the point where he thought that he alone was the only one left that was loyal to God. He was surprised to find out, when God informed him, that he was not alone and that God had reserved to himself 7000 people that had not bowed the knee to Baal, or kissed his symbols (1Kgs. 19:18).  God has done the same among our people today even though our people are all rotten with Baal Worship from the Mystery and Sun Cults, worshipping on Sundays and keeping Christmas and Easter and bowing to the Ditheist or Triune God (see #235). So also it may surprise the racists in the Western Nations that the majority of those fasting before God in the sanctification process at present come from CCG Conferences in the African Nations and they live in hope of the “out” resurrection or ex anastasin (of Phil. 3:11) at the return of Messiah (see also Rev. ch. 20 (F066v).

The task upon us over the next five years is massive and we have much work to do. How well we perform our work will determine how many of the people of the world will be saved alive out of this Holocaust at the return of the Messiah.
