The Temple Measured (No. 137B)

Background History

God decided to make mankind in order that they would become elohim (No. 001) and set that process in train. Satan and the Fallen host objected and rebelled. He set up false religion after telling Eve that they would not surely die. This became the false doctrine of the 'Eternal Soul' integral to Baal worship (see also The Soul (No. 092). Up until 27-30 CE the Holy Spirit was only available to those selected by God of the line of the patriarchs or prophets. Once the Holy Spirit became generally available on request, Satan had to accelerate his activities to mislead those coming into the faith and to prevent their entry to the First Resurrection. Those entering this resurrection would be leaders in the structure of the Elohim Host over the ages and the Fallen Host would be subject to them (see Judgment of the Demons (No. 080)).

God had Christ establish a contractual system from 27-30 CE, such that everyone baptised, and who received the Holy Spirit (No. 117) from 30 CE, when it was issued generally to the elect, entered into a legally binding contract. If one kept the Law and the Testimony and the Temple Calendar, which flowed from the Law, one came under Judgment and one entered the First Resurrection of the Dead (No. 143A) at the Return of the Messiah at the end of the Age (Nos. 210A; 210B).

Those who broke that contract sinned, which is transgression of the law. Sin on an extensive scale precluded one from the elect as the Holy Spirit withdrew from the person. If they tried, and stayed with the faith and the elect brethren, in the church, usually which had been given the lampstand (see below) they were given the procedure of the sanctification process from the New Moon of the New Year to the Lord's Supper (No. 103) at the Passover (No. 098), with the Footwashing (No. 99) and the Bread and Wine (No. 100) which renewed the commitment and the sanctification of the member in the elect. For that reason it is a contractual matter and precludes infant baptism under any circumstances as they are unable to enter into any contract. That again excludes all infant baptised Trinitarians and unbaptised people including Moslems and others. So the 'Judgment and Measuring' began as a process from 30 CE, as well as from the time the patriarchs and prophets were called over the age. They also received the Holy Spirit (No. 117). The churches were established throughout the world under the Seventy and subsequently (see 122D). As we will see this was to be brought to a final point for all mankind over the last 40 years of the age, or 'this generation' spoken of by Christ, when all are measured as we will discuss below. The critical test is when one lapses into sin and decides that they know better than the organised body, or the leaders raised by Christ, and fail to support the church by keeping the Law and the Testimony (Isa. 8:20) and the Temple Calendar (No. 156) that flows from the law, and by tithing to it, they are in sin and sent to the Second Resurrection. That included those who are misled by an idle and avaricious ministry as we will see below. Satan has deliberately used false religion to make it difficult to keep God's Calendar correctly with the Sabbaths, New Moons and Feasts as laid out in the Temple system. It was for that reason that Judah was sent in to captivity in 70 CE and was dispersed over the two thousand years and why six million of them were killed in the Holocaust along with those keeping the Babylonian system under the Hillel Calendar of 358 CE (see No. 195). This punishment will intensify under the Witnesses.

God issued a prophecy through the Apostle John on Patmos and John recorded it as the Book of Revelation, called also The Apocalypse (again meaning Revelation). It was given to Christ concerning what was to occur over the time frame of the Millennia ahead to the end of this age at the 120^th Jubilee in 2027. The first three chapters are concerned with the future of the Churches of God over the two thousand years in its seven phases of development, or decay, as the case may be, as is discussed below. These phases were named after the seven churches in Anatolia, in modern day Turkey. We have explained the significance of the churches, and the eras they represent in the various papers on the churches. These are contained in the text of General Distribution of the Sabbath-keeping Churches (No. 122); Establishment of the Churches under the Seventy (No. 122D) and Role of the Fourth Commandment in the Sabbath-keeping Churches of God (No. 170); and Origin of the Christian Church in Britain (No. 266). This view is not supported by the Sunday worshipping churches because they began keeping Sunday from Rome in the Second Century from the Baal worshipping Sun and Mystery Cults and were removed from the Churches of God when they established ca. 154 under Anicetus, and then enforced Easter worship in the Quartodeciman Disputes (No. 277) in the year 192 under the Bishop Victor in Rome and they were consigned to the Second Resurrection (No. 143B) from that time onwards, as is every one following them. They established the false Doctrines of Heaven and Hell which is a Gnostic doctrine of Baal worship. They also started the Unitarian Trinitarian Wars (No. 168). In the year 590 CE they formed the Holy Roman Empire (HRE) under Gregory I called 'the Great'. He was anything but great and this commenced the 'time, times, and half a time’ of 1260 years, from 590-1850, of the Empire of the Feet of Iron and Miry Clay of Daniel 2:41-43. The last Holocaust of this Empire occurred in the papal States from 1823-1846. There was a gallows on every street corner and people were executed or sent to the galleys in droves. The people in the end voted to get rid of papal rule and to join the Italian republic.

The 1260 years, ending in 1850, are followed by the final Empire of the Ten Toes of the NWO over the Last Days which develops over the last Thirty Years from 1997 to 2027 (see No. 219). They, however, commenced to develop under the plans of the Demons to outline and deploy the three future world wars from the US Civil War, and Albert Pike distributed the plans through Freemasonry from the end of the HRE and after the US Civil War. They have ruined Christianity ever since 590 and became the source of persecution of the Churches of God from that time onwards, as we will see. In 597 they brought Trinitarianism to Britain, under invitation of Ethelbert's French wife as Queen of the Angles. From 663 at the Synod at Hilda's Abbey in UK they suppressed the Church of God in Britain.

The Final Holocaust we have seen to date was in WWII under the Nazis with the camps being established by the Trinitarian systems in Europe with the first camp being handed over to the Lutherans in 1931 and hundreds followed, run by both Lutherans and RC Orders. In the 1260 days from 1941 to the end in 1945, over six million Jews were murdered, and untold amounts of Bible Researchers were executed. Bible Students of all religions (and not just JWs) were executed everywhere and the Sabbath-keepers in Romania were burnt alive on railway sleepers in accordance with the RC doctrines of the Council of Orleans of 1180. They then got the Nazi perpetrators out after the war on the RC 'Ratlines' to SA, AU and Argentina. We will discuss this further under Thyatira. This crime will not go unpunished

These Seven Churches are also discussed in the video series at the CCG video site on the web at CCG.org and its Rumble links.

The Early Eras

These Early Eras were the Ephesian, Smyrna, Pergamos and Thyatiran Eras. Of these eras, only Thyatira is still extant. Of these eras the first two, Ephesus and Smyrna, lasted through to the Seventh Century and were suppressed or they then morphed into the Thyatiran system (F066). See also http://ccg.org/weblibs/study-papers/q018.html.

Pergamos lasted in the Middle East from the Seventh to the early Twentieth Century and they were finally eliminated by the Turks while they were sheltering under the Bektashi of Sufi Islam. They lost a million people and the Bektashi had five million executed in the years from before WWI. This was the precursor to the Holocaust in WWII among the Thyatirans and the Laodiceans (see below). For the persecutions and holocaust see No. 122 and 170 and the Holocaust section of CCG.org.

The sequence of the persecutions and the Inquisitions are also listed in the text of Commentary on Acts in F044vii.

These early eras were given lampstands on a progressive basis as they operated and were consistent with the original doctrines of the faith free of Trinitarian corruption from the Sun and Mystery Cults.

The Thyatiran system is still alive and operating in Europe, but nothing further is expected of it other than its continuing loyalty and faith and no further burden is placed upon it in terms of the evangelisation in the Last Days.

The Final Eras

There are four final eras of the Churches of God in the last days. These are Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. The last era to be formed was actually Philadelphia and not Laodicea. The sequence in Chapters 2 and 3 runs as Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, (Ch. 2) and Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea (Ch. 3).

However, the mail route in Anatolia ran from Sardis to both Laodicea and Philadelphia separately and not from Philadelphia to Laodicea and both came out of Sardis. Philadelphia is the final sequence and absorbs the human elements of Laodicea in the final phase of the sequence over the last four years and the initial phase of the absorption of the Holy Seed into the millennial system (Isa. 6:9-13; Am. 9:1-15).

There will be some elements of Sardis allowed to live on as humans into the Millennium under Christ, but they will not enter the First Resurrection and only a select few of those who follow the Law and the Testimony will enter the First Resurrection. Both Sardis and Laodicea failed completely in their tasks as functioning arms of the Churches of God as we will examine. They have one window of opportunity to repent over the final window that opens up in the final phase of the last days.

Transition to Sardis

Most of the heavy lifting was done from Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos and then Thyatira. Pergamos and Thyatira lost most in the persecutions of the Inquisitions (see Nos. 122, 170 above). The only system left of those days is Thyatira. It is for that reason no further burden is placed upon them. The transition to the weak and vacillating phase of the Church of God came in the Reformation in the UK. The Trinitarians stopped hanging us in 1649. Until then they had been hanging us for simply denying the Trinity, let alone keeping the Sabbaths and Food Laws. Indeed, for much of that time they had been then drawing and quartering us as well.

As it became easier to keep the faith more people joined and began to study, adopting the Sabbath and the faith. Aware of this problem the Trinitarians had to form the Protestant system and by doing that saved the Trinitarian Church and stopped the rush to the faith. That deception of the English-speaking world prevented the English, Germans, and French of Europe from embracing Unitarian Sabbatarianism, keeping them bound to Protestantism and thereby denying them a place in the First Resurrection.

This was allowed to happen because Satan's time was still in operation, and he was still elohim of the planet until 2027. He believes that humans are not fit to be elohim and he continued to prove his case. The Seventh Millennium does not start until 2028 at the 121^st Jubilee. Satan's religious system could therefore operate as he directed. The Babylonian system therefore still operates. It was only at the end in the last days that he was to destroy it and its adherents along with the other elements of the Sun and Mystery Cults (see F066ii, iii, iv, v).

Satan had also destroyed the system of Judah and for which they had been sent into captivity from 70 CE with the destruction of both Jerusalem and the physical Temple. The church was taken to safety at Pella under Simeon, son of Clophas, in the final week of years from the death of James in 63 CE. Judah refused to repent, and they degenerated and in 358 CE they issued their final heresy of the Hillel Calendar, which was not refined until the Twelfth Century by Maimonides. For this reason they lost six million Jews from 1941-1945, not being under God's Protection. In spite of that holocaust the Church of God (Seventh Day) in Sardis still adopted the heresy in 1940 under Armstrong and Dugger. The reason that occurred is that those people who are Ditheists, or Binitarians or Trinitarian, and who are not the followers of the Messiah, are not permitted to keep the Temple Calendar and that is why Sardis had to be destroyed, as we will see.

The Spread of Sardis

In spite of the sailing knowledge of the Phoenicians and the Romans, based on that knowledge of the trading operation with South America from the time of the Exodus and with the ships of Tarshish under David and Solomon, the wilful ignorance, for political and religious purposes of the Roman Church simply hamstrung the European system. It was not until 1492 that Columbus, using old maps, “discovered” the “New World.”

The Church of God in the UK had to seek refuge in the Netherlands due to their persecution. On consideration of the activities to the “New World” they decided to resettle in the Americas. Thus, they chartered the Mayflower and the Speedwell and set out from the Netherlands. However, the Speedwell began taking on water and they had to tranship to the Mayflower at Plymouth and then continue to the Americas. (See the Dutch Connection with the Pilgrim Fathers (No. 264).)

The faith was thus resettled in the Americas, but the Trinitarians had placed minders on the Mayflower and they reported back and many Trinitarians followed them to the Americas and tried to destroy the faith under the Blue Laws established by those following settlers there.

The Reformation continued on apace and the Protestant system grew and it was easier or more convenient for the European Protestants to fit in with the Sunday, Christmas and Easter heresies than faithfully keep the Temple Calendar. No one ever kept Hillel in the Churches of God for the two millennia until a small group of Judaisers in Transylvania were persecuted and they sought refuge and became Jews. However, they were the only ones, until the 20^th Century Sardis system in the US under Armstrong and Dugger.

As the RC system sought to eliminate the Reformation in the Palatinate and the Papal States, a man named Charles Cox of Surrey UK decided to help them. He was wealthy and owned many wharves on the Thames. He converted them to hostels. He organised the transport and saved untold numbers of people fleeing the RC system from the Palatinate and the Papacy. He was knighted by Queen Anne for his services to religion and who knows how many people he actually saved. The story is far greater than that of Schindler's list. Surrey seems to be a centre of the Reformation and the Sabbatarian system in UK. Many families in the US with Germanic and like names, from the Palatinate, owe their lives and family success to Sir Charles Cox.

The Corruption of Sardis

The HRE was disbanded by Napolean from 1809 to 1815 for all its excesses. When Napolean was defeated at Waterloo the HRE was reconstituted. It reorganised control in the Papal States and in eight years it had initiated and inflicted the final inquisition of the HRE there, from 1823-1846. As Malachi Martin says in Decline and Fall of the Roman Church, there was a gallows on every street corner and thousands were hanged or sent to the galleys until the cessation in 1846 and the plebiscite in 1850, saw the states absorbed into the Italian Republic. The vote was overwhelming, with only less than a few thousand voting to remain with the papacy. People were utterly sick of the hypocrisy, and sin, of the Vatican, and their evil conduct. The reaction of the people over the time of the end now upon us will make this situation shrink in comparison and see the final destruction of the Trinitarian system worldwide.

Towards the end of this Vatican Inquisition, unaffected by it and on the other side of the world, a series of false prophets arose in the Churches of God in the US. They decided, from a complete misreading of prophecy, that Christ was returning in 1842 or so they thought and not four days after the Two Witnesses, as stated in Scripture. They decided that the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 were in fact the Old and New Testaments, again contrary to Scripture. They held falsely that they had been trampled in the streets of Paris in 1793 in the Revolution and that then Christ must arrive at any time. When that failed, they changed it to 1844 which also failed. The failure saw divisions form in the US and a “great disappointment” among their gullible followers. The Church of God (Seventh Day) split into two systems and the Seventh Day Adventist system (SDAs) formed and the Sabbath keepers also had groups split and form Sunday worshipping systems from them and one of them became the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society or the Jehovah Witnesses (JWs). The JWs, despite maintaining a Unitarian Godhead, declared that the Law of God was done away and kept Sunday and refused to adopt the Temple Calendar. The SDAs were both Unitarian and Sabbath-keeping. However, they did not keep the New Moons and Feasts according to the Temple Calendar. This sequence was to commence the Laodicean system and the two major divisions of that system. The final system of the Philadelphian system of Jer. 4:15-27 and Rev. 3:7-13 did not form until prophesied at the end of the Twentieth Century as part of the final Measuring of the Temple (No. 137), and the Warning of the Last Days (No. 044) over the generation prior to the coming of the Messiah, to warn the nations of his coming.

Sardis continued on as the Church of God (Seventh Day) and had a number of Conferences acting separately to one another. The most faithful was to be the Caldwell Conference in Idaho that emerged from the end of the Nineteenth Century. They continued on as closely as they could to the Temple Calendar. The other conferences were formed in Oregon and Denver and elsewhere. Their treatment of the calendar was haphazard, as were their doctrines.

In the late 1930s, after the Adventist failure, the religious movement in the US began holding large scale tent meetings. This was fuelled by the rise of the Communist and Nazi movements in Europe. These meetings were attended by the Church of God (Seventh Day) among others. Herbert Armstrong and his wife Loma began attending these events, as did Andrew Dugger and his group. Herbert Armstrong was an advertising man and had no theological training but was heavily influenced by the writings of G.G. Rupert and also J.H. Allen. He extensively plagiarised their works and was baptised by a Trinitarian minister. He was not validly baptised by anyone from the Church of God. He was then ordained by the laying on of hands by members of the Church of God (Seventh Day) at an all-day tent meeting. This ordination of a Trinitarian baptism, extraordinarily, was accepted by the Church and he was then paid by them as one of their ministers from 1940 through 1946. He then denied he was ever one of their ministers. The WCG then asserted this lie as fact.

He and Andrew Dugger brought the Hillel Calendar into the Church of God (SD). This had never previously been used by a functioning Church of God from 27 CE until that time. That calendar did not even exist until 358 CE 320 years after the commencement of the church and thus could never have been even seen by Christ and the Apostles and the Church until that time and was rejected outright, when the Rabbis presented it to the Church in 358 CE, as an heresy. The Ministry of the WCG and the offshoots, in spite of the known history of the Hillel Calendar, lied about its origin to the brethren and many falsely claimed that it was kept by the church, and was never refuted by Christ and the Apostles. They never refuted it, because it did not exist for 328 years after the death of Christ, and was never kept by the Churches of God over their history, until the false prophet and opportunist Armstrong and Dugger brought it into the Church of God (SD) from 1940. This apostasy prevented all those keeping it from the First Resurrection.

Armstrong was also a Ditheist and vacillated between Ditheism (No. 076B) and Binitarianism (076), whenever it suited him, and through ignorance. He uttered false prophecy over the years that he controlled any of the organs of the church in COG (SD), Radio Church of God (RCG) and Worldwide Church of God (WCG) (see False Prophecy (No. 269)). In the 1970s he wilfully committed perjury with Al Portune and fraudulently certified that a referendum of the church had been conducted at 300 West Green Street Pasadena and transferred the Church (WCG) into a sole ownership corporation vested in Armstrong. This was the greatest fraud and theft of the Churches of God over the two millennia. He fulfilled the prophecy of the worthless or idol shepherd (Zech. 11:15-17) and suffered the consequences. His right arm was cut off, that is his eldest son was killed, and he went blind in the right eye. He misrepresented the tithe doctrines of the church and robbed the church blind. In spite of these and other horrendous sins he lived to 96 years of age and died on 16 January 1986. The fact that Armstrong was not killed, like Ananias and Sophira, was simply because he was not validly baptised, and he was not a valid member of the Church of God. He should never have been appointed as a minister of the Church of God. In spite of that fact, these mindless cretins in the offshoots worship him to this day. We will now discuss them and their fate below. Armstrong will go to the Second Resurrection and be re-educated by the Church of God in one of the Cities of Refuge (No. 300E) along with these scoundrels running the offshoots; and using his doctrines, and Hillel.

Armstrong did not hand the church over to Portune as was expected by Portune, but had appointed Joseph W. Tkach as Pastor General earlier which caused quite some angst, but it could not be exposed, because their entire structure depended on fraud and perjury and thus they could not complain, or they would all be complicit and liable to imprisonment.

Andrew Dugger remained in the Church of God (SD) and moved to form systems in Israel and in North Africa with significant branches in Nigeria. They continued with the Hillel Calendar and lost sight or control of the Nature of God. Without a correct doctrine on the Nature of God, and the Christ as the elohim of Psalm 45:6-7 and Heb. 1:8-9, no one is allowed to keep the Temple Calendar including Judah. Neither Dugger, nor Armstrong, really understood the theology and history of the church. Consequently, they corrupted the doctrines through ignorance and Judaising. We will discuss the end of Sardis below.

The Measuring and End of Laodicea

As we saw, Laodicea was formed into two major divisions: the SDAs and the JWs. Both were wealthy and thought they were rich and knowledgeable and had need of nothing not realising they were both poor, pitiable, blind and naked (Rev. 3:17). The Second division formed, but the JWs of this division were the first to be spewed from the Mouth of God. They formed with the correct understanding of God, but they decided it was more convenient to abandon the Sabbath, and adopt Sunday worship, and teach privately that the Law of God had been done away. Once they did that they were immediately spewed from the Mouth of God. They also taught that the members were to go into the Millennium as humans. Thus the majority would not enter the First Resurrection and only a select few would be resurrected “to heaven.” That is a false or Gnostic doctrine and proof positive that they are no longer part of the Churches of God (see also No. 269), if they ever truly were part of it. They were made to face the Holocaust in 1941 -1945 in the Camps in Nazi Europe along with the Jews and Sabbatarian Bibel Forschers of the Thyatirans in Europe.

SDA System

The earlier element, who is also rich, in comparison to Sardis, is the SDA system. They stumbled along with false prophecy and failed understanding of the Scriptures, but they nevertheless had a sound understanding, like the JWs, of the Unitarian Nature of God. They kept the Sabbath but they understood little of the Temple Calendar and did not keep the Feasts and New Moons of the Temple Calendar and were not opened to the Temple Calendar.

In 1903 the last great Unitarian theologian of the Adventists, Uriah Smith, died. The Jesuit plants in the Adventist systems then began to increase infiltration of the ministry and by 1956 they had control of it. From 1956 to 1978 they took control of the laity and had enough support to declare Trintarianism by 1978 and thus were also spewed from the Mouth of God. The SDAs and the JWs are now left to face the final phase of the Measuring of the Temple and if they do not repent under the influence of the final Church of God system and the Witnesses, they will all die from the Return of the Messiah. They will not be permitted to live into the Millennium with their heresies. We will discuss this further below.

We now come to the time of the end and the final phase of this Age and the sending of the Two Witnesses in Revelation Chapter 11.

The Two Witnesses

Revelation 11:1-19 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told: "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, ²but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months. ³And I will grant my two witnesses power to prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." ⁴These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth. ⁵And if any one would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes; if any one would harm them, thus he is doomed to be killed. ⁶They have power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they desire. ⁷And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them, ⁸and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. ⁹For three days and a half men from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, ¹⁰and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth. ¹¹But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. ¹²Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up hither!" And in the sight of their foes they went up to heaven in a cloud. ¹³And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. ¹⁴The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.

The Seventh Trumpet

¹⁵Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever." ¹⁶And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, ¹⁷saying, "We give thanks to thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast, that thou hast taken thy great power and begun to reign. ¹⁸The nations raged, but thy wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, for rewarding thy servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear thy name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth." ¹⁹Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.

This text is divided into three phases. The first phase is the Measuring of the Temple (No. 137); the second phase is the Arrival of the Witnesses and their mission of 1260 days (see Nos. 135, 141D); the third phase is the Seventh Trumpet which is the final transition to the Kingdom of God under the reign of Christ, not just for the thousand years of the Millennium of Rev. Ch. 20, but for ever (see also Nos. 300; 300B). We go now to the Measuring of the Temple which is the final generation of the forty years of this Age, that went from 1987 to the end of this Age in 2027 and the transition in the Establishment of the Millennium (No. 300B) over the beginning of the Golden Jubilee and the Millennium (No. 300). The Forty years of the measurement of the Age ends at the Jubilee from Atonement 2026 to Atonement 2027 and then to the 1260 days of the Witnesses and their four days in the streets and then the Arrival of the Christ on the morning of the 1264^th day, then on to the 1290 days to the end of the Empire of the Beast, and then over the 40 days in the subjugation of the planet and then over the final five days of the 1335 days of Daniel Chapter 12 (No. 141C_4C) and the Second Exodus to Jerusalem under the Establishment of the Millennium (No. 300B).

The Measuring of the Temple and End of Sardis

After the death of the Worthless or Idol Shepherd in 1986 Joseph Tkach took over the WCG ownership and church system, and then, before the Passover of 1987, travelled the world informing the WCG of the Commencement of the Measuring of the Temple in accordance with Rev. 11:1-2. As things transpired, this seems to have been for a nefarious purpose, but it did set in chain a series of prophetic events, and began the final forty years of “this generation” spoken of by Christ over the period from 1987 to 2027, which ends the six Millennia of this Age. This declaration was much like that of Caiaphas, that someone had to die that year (30 CE) for the sins of the nation. That 1986/7, end of the sacred year declaration, immediately began the clock ticking all over the world in accord with prophecy. The first to be measured was the WCG system itself as, in spite of its errors and false doctrine, it was the last Church of God standing with the lampstand. Over the next seven years it was measured along with its ministry, and it was then scattered to the four winds. It went from over 105,000 active members in 1993, to less than 20,000 and in 1995 split again into the Grace Communion International Trinitarian system, back into Protestantism, and United Church of God and the Global Church of God which in 1998 split again into the Living Church of God (LCG) in accordance with Rev. 3:1 as the demarcation Church of Sardis, and another minor offshoot the Restored Church of God (RCG) under a repetitive, and seemingly shameless, false prophet. It also continued collapsing into many other insignificant minor groups. It became virtually nothing and was broken into a multitude of factions with no clear idea of doctrine. Tkach, and his faction, tried to take the church back into Trinitarianism, and that itself caused the disintegration. The ministry were too spineless to act, and in fact acted to disfellowship the only people telling them where they were going, and what it would do to the church. In 1994 they acted in AU to disfellowship the only trained philosopher and theologian they had, and, by the New Year, the CCG had been formed, its doctrines and constitution written, and it held its first service on 1 Abib. With that reformation, it restored the Unitarian Doctrines on the Nature of God and restored the Temple Calendar and kept the New Moons from the New Moon of Abib. The leaders then set about producing sound sermon lesson plans and set up the internet system. CCG, as the Church of the Philadelphians in prophecy, as stated above (Jer. 4:15-27; Rev. 3:7-13) (No. 044) became the voice of Dan-Ephraim in the south as Ezekiel prophesied (see Fire From Heaven (No. 028)). There had been an offshoot of WCG formed in the US over 1990-1991 calling itself the Philadelphian Church of God, but that was an Armstrong system keeping Hillel and with no real understanding of the Nature of God. Thus from this timing, 1994, began the thirty years of the Warning of the Last Days (No. 044).

On its formation CCG undertook investigations of the records of the WCG in California through their attorneys in the US. They ascertained the sheer extent of the fraud undertaken by Armstrong and Portune. They understood it was done also with the knowledge of the Ministry as the head of WCG AU told the head of CCG previously that Herbert Armstrong had done away with the Constitution, indicating they knew basically what had been done. The magnitude of the theft was astounding. CCG also obtained certification by statutory declaration from an officer of WCG, who was in Pasadena on the day in question, that no such referendum had taken place then, or on any other day at the location, or elsewhere in WCG. It is proven fraud by perjury, and stealing by agency, and the greatest fraud every conducted in the Churches of God in history. The officers of CCG gave very serious consideration to initiating proceedings and taking back the church. From the attitudes of the members of the church and the scheming of the ministry it became evident that the brainwashed members were incapable of independent rational thought and would simply have placed the same scoundrels back in charge, in an altered form. They were all unfit for the First Resurrection, without proper and serious repentance. So they were left to destroy themselves, and CCG got on with the task it has been given to do, which was to warn the nations of the Coming of the Messiah and prepare for the arrival of the Witnesses and the commencement of the 1335 Days of Dan. Ch. 12 (No 141C_4C). See also the Time of the End (No. 141C_4D). The ministry of the disintegrating system began forming offshoots and squabbling like vultures over carrion. They attempted to destroy CCG by various plants from all sources, beginning from 1994. The offshoots conspired to insert many people in CCG from 2001 to 2005 to take it over and destroy it, but they failed in their dishonesty. Some people left CCG, out of cowardice or self-interest at that time, over a few years. They threw away their positions and places in the First Resurrection.

Measuring the Members of the Churches of God

The Trinitarian and Masonic plants that had infiltrated and destroyed the WCG, had also infiltrated the COG (SD), and CCG warned them that they were penetrated, and were next. At first they did not believe CCG leaders, but, sure enough, in 1995, they toppled the leaders and began the declaration to Binitarianism and in 1999 they declared full blown Trinitarianism. The betrayal shattered some of the old timers among the faithful there. However, Caldwell more or less reorganised and are trying to battle through as best they can.

The measurement of the body then continued. Many, some 75,000 in 1994/5, and some 275,000 in total from the early 1970s, went home in disgust at the infidelity and cowardice of the ministry. There is no further hope for those that died, but those still alive can be retrieved and still have a chance in the faith for either the First Resurrection or the millennial system, both for themselves and their families.

Individual Responsibility in the Temple

The Ministry of all the Churches of God in the Last Days have all been judged and their fate determined. Much of that was by what they did from the beginning of the Measurement. However, the spineless and avaricious conduct of the ministry does not absolve the members from their responsibility, and judgment. If you went home, you are still held accountable for what you did or did not do. If you were validly baptised and failed to perform or refused to serve the faith, then you are responsible and will be punished. Running away from the faith and the Church of God is desertion and cowardice. Those people will be punished. Rejoining these treacherous offshoots will not save or excuse you. Using the leadership as an excuse is pathetic and you will lose your crown.

Judgment under the Faith

Failing to follow the Law and the Testimony after baptism is knowingly committing sin. If a minister tells you that it is Ok to sin then both of you are guilty. Both incur judgment.

One of the problems that arose in the WCG system was that of the “ox in a ditch” excuse. It is not OK to simply not do the required preparation and then go to the store on the Sabbath morning to buy orange juice or some other item to be purchased. It is not OK to go to a restaurant on Friday nights because “they would be open anyway.” That is hiring a manservant under the law and making them work on the Sabbaths. Nor is it OK to go to a restaurant on a Holy Day at the feast, as the ministry itself taught, and did, in WCG.

Nor is it OK not to keep the New Moons (Isa. 66:23-24). This applies to you and the ministry and the entire Church of God, and the populace.

It is not OK to play football, or any other sport, on the Sabbath because you are not at home and not under observation. That is spitting on your baptism.

It is not OK on Sabbath to go and buy anything at the store.

It is not OK to have two Gods, and it is not Ok to pray to Jesus and not to the Father. Such ministry that teaches such sin will go to the Second Resurrection for retraining along with those that do that or follow them.

Gossip or defamation and false witness is forbidden. It is murder of the character of your brother or another person. It was, however, common in the WCG system and the offshoots, and also in Laodicea and the rest of Sardis and all over the world. The Ministry, everywhere, used it to maintain control over the congregations and was, and is, an unethical disgrace.

Going to the ministry before discussion with your brother is a sin and contrary to law.

Making judgements re your brethren is a serious problem - you probably do not have all the facts.

Most importantly the Temple Calendar is God's Instruction in the Law to you as to what days you are to worship Him. Observing Hillel is a sin and always has been and was why Judah faced dispersion and the Holocaust. It was not seen in the Main Churches of God until Armstrong and Dugger brought it into the Sardis system from 1940. God allowed six million Jews to be killed as an example, for keeping this system. The Khazar Jews came into Judaism ca 630 CE some 270 years after Hillel was adopted and thus have never known any better. They will be re-educated under the Witnesses in the near future. No minister can absolve you of the responsibility to observe the Temple Calendar. Keep Hillel and you will go to the Second Resurrection with the ministry that misleads you. It is not rocket science. Keeping a calendar that was not kept by Christ and the apostles and the early church and which was rejected and never kept by the Church of God in history until two heretics and false prophets, one not even properly baptised, will get you excluded from the Kingdom and the First Resurrection.

It is not OK to go to work during the Passover between the Holy Days as WCG dreamed up in 1966.

It is not OK to stay at home during the three feasts. You must be out of your gates (Deut. 16:5-8). You cannot breach the law of God.

The responsibility to keep the Laws of God rests with the baptised individual and not with the ministry. Anyone that says that any aspect of the Law of God is done away is to be shunned.

Division of the Measuring

The Measuring of the Temple began from the judgment of the members from 30 CE onwards, over all eras. Laodicea was spewed from the Mouth of God as a system and was no longer able to be a valid Church system, as were the previous systems to Thyatira.

Mormonism is not a valid system and is judged with Protestantism, and worse.

The second division of Laodicea, the JWs, was the first to be spewed from the Mouth of God. The SDAs were undermined by the false prophetess Ellen G. White and the heretics there who advanced Vegetarianism and also Prohibitionism, and grape juice at the Passover, but the final straw was the declaration of Trinitarianism in 1978, by the majority of the laity. There are however some Unitarians there who will come to repentance and leave them under the Two Witnesses. Indeed, there are branches and groups leaving them now. Usually they are from Africa. That will increase over the next few years or so when the Witnesses arrive. So also there are the odd repentant JW, but that will increase also. In that way Laodicea can return to the faith and if they are delayed and will not enter the First Resurrection, they might still enter the Millennium as part of the Holy Seed. They will require to repent and be re-baptised however, to receive the Holy Spirit (No. 117).

The Measurement of Sardis and the World

The final measurement began in 1987. That commenced the measurement of the entire world systems also, as part of the Generation of the Last days. That process went from 1987 to 2027 ending on the Last Day of Adar in 25 March 2028. Measuring had gone on from its formation as a series of Churches in UK, US and Europe, where they were distinct from Thyatira and Pergamos.

The end of the first section of the final phase of the measurement, over the Last Days, was that of the scattering of Sardis in 1994 from the New Moon in the New Year of March 1994. That saw the church of God scattered and the rise of CCG as the final Church era (No. 044).

CCG came under individual judgment, as had the churches before it, while they were part of the other Sardis and Laodicean systems. Those people who were being tasked by God to CCG were called into it as required. Many were also called but not chosen and placed into it by its enemies, either the demons or the Sardis systems. CCG was then tasked with Warning the Nations (Jer. 4:15-27). From 1994 the nations then came under Judgment, and they were given thirty years to repent. The world did not repent.

In the month of Chislev (Dec.) 2023 the four hundred years of Abraham's Blessings ended (No. 212J). The year 2024 commenced the end process of the entry to the Great Tribulation (No. 141D_2). The Wars of Amalek (No. 141C) began in earnest from 2018 commencing with the war of the Fifth Trumpet and then commenced the sequence to the War of the Sixth Trumpet.

The Wars in the Middle East increase to the phase of Purim in the Last Days (F017iii). The wars will continue to escalate from now onwards. From Adar 2024 we began the Time of the End (No. 141C_4D). That will follow on from Daniel 11:40-45 to the arrival of the Witnesses and the Messiah over the 1335 Days of Daniel Ch. 12 (No. 141C_4C). See also the videos on Rumble and the paper The Attack of the King of the South (No. 141D_6). Over these wars, over the next six years to end 2030, most of the world will die and only those that repent will live on to become the Holy Seed of Isa. 6:9-13 & Am. 9:1-15. It is these that will live on into the Millenium under the Messiah and breed the final generations. All nations must repent to be part of that system. Every Trinitarian, Binitarian, Ditheist, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and Shintoist and Animist, and indeed Atheist will repent in order to live past 2028-2031 into the Millennium (see Establishment of the Millennium (No. 300B)).

The cleansing of Israel and the World

Over this time we will see the purging of Judah of their false doctrines as foretold in Ezekiel.

Israel and Judah Will Be Destroyed

Ezekiel 5:1-17 "And you, O son of man, take a sharp sword; use it as a barber's razor and pass it over your head and your beard; then take balances for weighing, and divide the hair. ²A third part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are completed; and a third part you shall take and strike with the sword round about the city; and a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will unsheathe the sword after them. ³And you shall take from these a small number, and bind them in the skirts of your robe. ⁴And of these again you shall take some, and cast them into the fire, and burn them in the fire; from there a fire will come forth into all the house of Israel. ⁵Thus says the Lord GOD: This is Jerusalem; I have set her in the center of the nations, with countries round about her. ⁶And she has wickedly rebelled against my ordinances more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries round about her, by rejecting my ordinances and not walking in my statutes. ⁷Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes or kept my ordinances, but have acted according to the ordinances of the nations that are round about you; ⁸therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgments in the midst of you in the sight of the nations. ⁹And because of all your abominations I will do with you what I have never yet done, and the like of which I will never do again. ¹⁰Therefore fathers shall eat their sons in the midst of you, and sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments on you, and any of you who survive I will scatter to all the winds. ¹¹Wherefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will cut you down; my eye will not spare, and I will have no pity. ¹²A third part of you shall die of pestilence and be consumed with famine in the midst of you; a third part shall fall by the sword round about you; and a third part I will scatter to all the winds and will unsheathe the sword after them. ¹³"Thus shall my anger spend itself, and I will vent my fury upon them and satisfy myself; and they shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken in my jealousy, when I spend my fury upon them. ¹⁴Moreover I will make you a desolation and an object of reproach among the nations round about you and in the sight of all that pass by. ¹⁵You shall be a reproach and a taunt, a warning and a horror, to the nations round about you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and fury, and with furious chastisements—I, the LORD, have spoken— ¹⁶when I loose against you my deadly arrows of famine, arrows for destruction, which I will loose to destroy you, and when I bring more and more famine upon you, and break your staff of bread. ¹⁷I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will rob you of your children; pestilence and blood shall pass through you; and I will bring the sword upon you. I, the LORD, have spoken."

From 2025 to 2028 the Witnesses will arrive at the Temple Mount. They are (probably) Enoch and definitely Elijah (Mal. 4:5) (see No. 141D). There they will begin to deal with the world and directly with Judah and also the nation of Israel. They will institute immediately a three-and-half year famine. Levi and the non-Levite Ashkenazi Rabbis and the Churches of God will immediately be given their warning and then begin to suffer Fire from Heaven and the Plagues of Egypt. They will continue until they repent of their heresies, and Hillel, and they adopt the Temple Calendar and keep it correctly including the New Moons, on the correct days.

The Empire of the Beast, by this time, will have killed almost half the world and will commence to eliminate those who oppose it (No. 299A) and they will commence to kill the false religions and directly at Rome (No. 299B). They will also have wiped out the centres at London, Russia, New York, Mecca, and Greece. They will also have attacked the capitals around the world and brought the nations into the NWO and commenced to eliminate all opposition (see also Nos. 141D_3; 141D_3B) (see also Nos. 288; 288_2; 300B).

The civil insurrections that will cause massive violence will also see most of the political structure eliminated. This period of the Empire of the Beast will be in effect the Final Holocaust of the ‘time, times and half a time’. The Witnesses will oppose and deal with them and the world who support the Beast. There is no place of safety over this period, except in the Hand of God (see Nos. 194; 194B). We will not have finished fleeing through the cities of Israel until the son of man comes (Mat. 10:23) (see Cities of Israel (No. 141D_5)).

The Witnesses will commence, and continue, to inflict droughts and the plagues of Egypt on the world. There will be no rain for 43 months except at their direction and of the Christ in the 43^rd month. Priests, Rabbis, and Ministers of all persuasions will suffer the plagues of Egypt, from boils and haemorrhoids on upwards. The Witnesses cannot be killed or stopped for 1260 days. On the 1260^th day they will be killed and lie in the streets for 3.5 days and on the morning of the Fourth Day the Messiah will arrive and the First Resurrection of the Saints occurs. The entire world will curse these two, but most will not repent, and they will then face the Messiah and Armageddon. He will come with the Loyal Host and imprison the Fallen Host, or there would be no flesh saved alive. In spite of that fact, the world will still try to destroy the Host and the Resurrected Saints. They will not succeed and those who resist will be killed and sent to the Second Resurrection (No. 143B). They will thus face the possibility of the Second Death (No. 143C).

The Witnesses will then deal with all the middle eastern nations and the Hadithic and Shia Islamic system as well as Judah and the Judeo Christian and world systems. The Ayatollahs and Imams will also begin to die of the Droughts, Fire from Heaven and the Plagues of Egypt. The entire Middle East will leave Hadithic Islam in droves. Shariah law and their other unscriptural heresies will be purged from the earth. Islam will face the invasion from the Northern forces (No. 141D_6) and the Third World War (No. 141C). When Messiah arrives he will complete the task and they will be merged back into Original Islam under Qassim and the resurrected Rashidun and the Apostles of the Original Faith under Christ (No. 143A; Q001D). They will keep the law and the Testimony and the Temple Calendar, as Islam did originally. Those that refuse to repent will be killed to a man and woman, and the selected children will be placed in the families of the Holy Seed for education in the Millennium. Many will be killed from the wars that will continue on even under the Christ. What will be left is the Holy Seed and many will be returned to the Holy Land to repopulate it with original Israelites (No, 212F) and Jews (212E) and the sons of Lot, Ammon and Moab (No. 212B). The Holy Seed will also see, and those above will be part of, the Second Exodus which occurs over the last five days of the 1335 days of Daniel Ch. 12. That will see the core of the tribes sent back to Jerusalem under Messiah (Isa. Chs. 65-66 F023xvi). The Holy Seed will go on with Messiah to repopulate the earth for the thousand years of the Millennium. If one wishes to be part of them, then humanity must repent immediately and into the period of the Witnesses. Access to the First Resurrection will require repentance almost immediately. If it is delayed, then it will relegate those repenting late to the human host of the Millennium. Hedging one’s bets will cost everyone dearly. What will be left of the world will be the Holy Seed and only the Holy Seed (Nos. 141E_3; 141E_3B).

The process of the sifting of the hairs will continue now to the end of the Millennium when Satan and the Fallen host are released to test the remnant of the Holy Seed for the last time before the Second Resurrection to determine who is fit for the elohim and who needs retraining.
