Dear Friends,

This Sabbath is the Last Holy Day of Unleavened Bread at the Feast of the Passover/UB.  This morning we will hold the General International Service and study the paper Forty Days Following Christ's Resurrection (No. 159A). This afternoon we will study the paper Christ's Age at Baptism and the Duration of His Ministry (No. 019) on the Austral/Asian Service.   We are praying for the wellbeing of our people in their travels to and from the Feast. We trust everyone has had an enjoyable time. There are many new church groups that have kept their first Passover in CCG numbering in the tens of thousands. We hope that everyone learned a great deal and were able to equip themselves for the period ahead of us all. Many are studying the papers around the world, and we are hopeful that they will be encouraged to ask for Baptism and membership in the near future. A number are from the offshoots of the Sardis and Laodicean systems and we are pleased that God is opening their eyes and ears, and they are turning to the truth repenting of error and false doctrine.

We have commenced the Omer Count to Pentecost from the Wave Sheaf Offering (No. 106B) and will continue on now to Pentecost (see list att. to Passover message).  There will be a number of new videos added to the CCG site up to and after Pentecost at https://rumble.com/c/c-5243742. Please view these and also if you can access our FB Meta site do so and promote the videos.

We are watching the world develop into a conflict that may well see the nuclear conflict between NATO and Russia develop on an escalating basis and once that happens we will see the time frame develop as explained in the paper The Great Tribulation (No. 141D_2), and that is also explained in the two papers at the rumble video link above. It is important that the brethren view the papers as far and wide as possible. It is important that the Africans view these videos as they also are affected. We understand that they do not have the facilities to easily access them. Do whatever you can.

Remember that this year the Babylonian Intercalations are invoked to postpone the New Year in Hillel into April 2024. Look at the New Year in the Temple Calendar which was on 10 March 2024 and the Feast begins with the Lord's Supper after dark on Friday 22 March, over two days after the equinox at 05:07 on 20 March.  There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to intercalate in 2024 under God's Calendar (No. 156) under the Temple system and that which the Churches of God kept over the last 2000 years, with the exception of Sardis and Laodicea of recent years.  They have simply ignored God's Calendar with their Judaising in Sardis and worse in Laodicea. We will see what God does with them over the next few years. They certainly are not under the protection of God over the 2024 Feast seasons (Ex. 34:24). 

The Commandments of God are not the Ten Suggestions. When Christ returns there is nowhere to go.
Repent now and serve God so that you might enjoy the First Resurrection and the millennial system, under Messiah.
