The Doomsday Clock and the COG's

 

Why is it that so many Church of God groups get positively giddy every time someone mentions the Doomsday Clock? Their barely-concealed bloodlust for the total annihilation of the world around them is really just one more glowing neon sign screaming how utterly deceived they are. 

They desperately need cataclysmic death and destruction to finally roll in so all their laughably wrong predictions and deranged prophecies can be retroactively declared “right.” 

Nothing warms their little eschatological hearts like the thought of millions of men, women, and children being slaughtered, incinerated, and erased—finally, finally their big moment arrives: “Look at us! We told you so! Woo-hoo! High-fives all around in Petra while the planet burns!”

Truly the most humble and Christ-like crew out there.

Living Church of God had this up about the Doomsday Clock:

85 Seconds to Go! 

On Tuesday, January 27, the Doomsday Clock of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was adjusted from 89 seconds to midnight to only 85 seconds—the closest it has ever been since these scientists first began reporting their opinion in 1947. This tool is used to represent how close they believe mankind is to destroying the world—the closer to midnight, the higher they believe the risk. Rather than a reduction of nuclear risks, 2025 saw the intensification of three regional conflicts, each involving foes with nuclear capabilities. All parties claim a willingness to pay any price to win.

Then, not to be outdone, our Infallible Crackpot Prophet and his trusty sidekick had to also weigh in with their usual useless megalomaniac blather:


CBS: Doomsday clock keeps ticking

Are we on the eve of destruction? Humankind has had the ability to annihilate itself for quite some time now. And there doesn’t seem to be a major drive by humanity to lower the risk. So, are we close? Is one or more of the nuclear powers ready to “pull the trigger”? Is climate change about to destroy us all? How about the imminent threat of ‘disinformation’? Will that be the cause of humanity’s extinction? Well, if the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is asked that question, the answer is that we are closer to annihilation now than we have ever been in the past, and all three of those causes are contributing to the danger. What does the word of God say? Are there any events, revealed in the Bible, that must take place before “the end is near”? Yes. And Dr. Thiel uses the word of God to detail those events that are soon to take place. Those events prophesied in the Bible definitely do include wars. But they also include false prophets, famines, pestilences and persecutions. But when those events do take place, and they surely will, will that finally be the end of all humanity? Will Satan actually win in the end? Is the Great Tribulation the end of mankind or the beginning of a new kingdom; the millennial kingdom of God? Jesus did warn us not to be deceived by disinformation. He also encouraged us to properly watch, and pray, and live our life by His principals and commandments. Watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical prophecy on the Doomsday Clock and current world events.

So there you have it, folks. While the so-called experts at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists are wringing their hands over 85 seconds to midnight—the closest we've ever been, apparently—Dr. Thiel is here to set the record straight with the real clock: God's unbreakable prophetic timetable. Forget nuclear winter, climate doom, or sneaky disinformation campaigns; the Bible has the exclusive scoop on the wars, famines, pestilences, and persecutions that are definitely barreling toward us any day now (just like they've been "any day now" for decades).

But hey, chin up! The Great Tribulation isn't the end of humanity—it's just the dramatic opening act for the millennial kingdom, where everything finally gets fixed under divine management with Infallible Bob sitting at the right hand of Jesus. Satan doesn't win; he just gets a really long timeout.

So don't be deceived by all that secular fearmongering. Instead, watch, pray, obey the commandments... and of course, keep tuning in to Dr. Thiel's videos for the exclusive biblical decoder ring on why this time—this time for sure—the Doomsday Clock is basically just God's alarm clock going off.

Because nothing says "peace on earth" like excitedly cataloging every headline as proof the end is nigh.

Stay vigilant, brethren. The tribulation might start tomorrow... or in 2030... or whenever the next reset happens. But when it does, you'll know who called it first. Woo-hoo.


 


 


 

The Biblical Roots Ministries Exposing Hebrew Roots/Messianic Movements Tainted By Armstrongism Who Are Trying To Influence Christian Churches


"The Torah is the first five books of our Bible and it hasn't been done away with. Right? We love the
Torah and we teach from it. Torahism, on the other hand, is the dangerous and unbiblical misapplication of the old covenant commands of God on new covenant believers in Jesus.  
Now, Toraism isn't a monolithic movement. They don't have a single governing body or a codified set of doctrines that everyone agrees on.
It's it's a disperate collection of different groups and organizations. And their theology ranges a bit from group to group. But the thread that ties them all together is the mistaken belief that new covenant Christians are required to keep the old covenant rituals. 
Things like the dietary laws, the feasts, the seventh day Sabbath, the tassels, and so on. And they further believe that not keeping those things is sinful and rebellious and disobedient to God..."

Why is it that everything Armstrongism sinks its slimy tentacles into ends up in such division? Such a mystery. Oh wait—no, it isn't. Just feast your eyes on the pathetic, fractured mess of splinter churches today. Truly a masterpiece of unity.

This little gem has been lighting up Facebook the past few days, sparking huge conversations about how the Hebrew Roots movement is oh-so-helpfully "disrupting" mainstream Christian congregations and tearing families apart by demanding that the law still needs to be kept. 

They're bravely calling out the classic combo: British Israelism mixed with a trendy appropriation of Jewish culture—while conveniently rejecting actual Jewish voices and input. Yep, that sure does sound exactly like Armstrongism in action! Because nothing says "healthy spiritual influence" like showing up and systematically destroying everything it touches. Keep up the great work, folks—division and chaos are clearly the fruits of the Spirit we're all craving. 




A Facebook reader posted:

I'll be honest, I don't mind loosing more "friends" over this.
A literal mapping and warning to the Body of Messiah about this unbalanced, rebranding of Hebert W. Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God Cult has been badly needed since the 1990's. It doesn't matter how an adherent of the cultic teachings came to them.
The ministry that made the statement is rightly concerned about aberrant Hebrew Roots Cultic teachings, their influence on mainstream churches. Having a way to monitor and protect churches from their unbalanced doctrines and influence is absolutely necessary and has been needed since the 1990's.
Many of them have renamed themselves "messianic congregations" or ministries, coopting actual Messianic Congregations with Jewish Believers having real input (because they are an expression of our own culture and people).
The Hebrew Roots Cultists are the reason I have limited by involvement with even Messianic Congresgations, because they were the first that were adversely impacted by the HR Cult and their teachings whether or not followers know about the roots of this Cult, nor how they came to believe and teach what they teach separated from the Cult itself, because they still teach, believe and harm others with their Cultic teachings. Many are well meaning, very sincere, and others are very harmful with their rhetoric. Either way, the HR Movement by any name is British Israelism and Cultural Appropriation of Jewish culture while rejecting Jews and our Jewish perspective and voices. That last sentence identifies the worst part: Hebrew Roots is an expression Suppercessionism (Replacement Theology), it is arrogance and the very kind of "boasting against the branches" that Paul warns about in Romans 11. Paul's letter to the Romans (the only letter to a church he didn't start, because they were to evil in rejecting Jewish believers return to Rome after being framed for the burning of Rome along with the rest of the Jewish community by a previous Emperor), was his surgical strike to execute ROMAN Imperialistic Supercessionism when it began in the Nacent Roman Catholic Church

Worldwide Church of God Iowa Renting Its First Office Space

 



Aaron Dean must be positively giddy—positively doing cartwheels of ecstasy—as he contemplates the glorious day he finally gets to unpack his boxes in a shiny new official office. Yes, that’s right: once he finalizes a dramatic apostasy from the tired old United Church of God so he could sprint, breathless and starry-eyed, into the warm, loving arms of the One True Remnant™—the only group on planet Earth still heroically carrying out the real Elijah work. (Because apparently God only hands out one set of prophetic car keys per generation.)

Sorry, Infallible Bob—better luck next lifetime. You’re still clutching that eternal bouquet of participation trophies, forever the tragic bridesmaid in the cosmic wedding no one invited you to officiate. Always almost chosen… never quite chosen. Heartbreaking, really. Someone pass Bob a tissue and a fresh bottle of anointing oil—he’s going to need both.

Meanwhile, the interior design team has already been dispatched with all the urgency of a five-alarm holy fire. They’re furiously sketching mood boards and color swatches so they can rush-order a breathtaking, larger-than-life portrait of Herbert W. Armstrong—probably in full technicolor majesty, complete with that signature benevolent-yet-authoritarian gaze. And naturally, no proper shrine would be complete without a custom-built kneeling bench positioned at the ideal groveling angle. Because nothing says “restored truth” quite like mandatory devotional knee-time in front of a 10-foot oil painting of a man who’s been dead for 40 years.

Truly, the end-time work has never looked so… tastefully appointed. Let the incense and the interior decorating commence!


Samuel Kitchen writes:

So I am looking at an office space to use for the “SUPPORT SERVICES OF THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD”
I found one in a town not far from me, for $450 a month with a $450 security deposit. It’s small, but it can be used for an office, and address for the Work.
I do need an office, and a space to use for the Work. It needs to be separated from my apartment. It could also serve as a small meeting hall for brethren nearby.
What do you brethren think?
I have my own source of funding, with my cleaning business, but I also know that God’s people should be involved and I have received many requests to be involved.
I also do have the entity “SUPPORT SERVICES OF THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD” already created and being used, to raise funds for the Work.
If God wants us to have an office we will. I believe I need it. I just want to ask you brethren about the idea, and get a consensus of wisdom.

Infallible Crackpot Prophet Condemns Wade Cox As A False Prophet


It is another glittering day in the sparkling paradise that is COGland—truly, the excitement never stops. Behold, God's Own Most Infallible Prophet™ (patent pending), the greatest seer to ever grace the planet with his holy footsteps, is currently experiencing a full-on public meltdown because Wade Cox—gasp—dared to exist. Yes, he has bravely declared Wade a "false prophet." Shocking revelation, we know; no one saw that coming in a million years.

But wait—plot twist!—there's apparently an even juicier scandal bubbling under the surface that even our flawless Bwana Bob can't quite memory-hole. Ever since Wade casually announced that Sosten Libungwa was sniffing around his Malawi franchises looking for a better parking spot, our dear Infallible One has thrown the most dignified, prophet-level hissy fit imaginable, complete with frantic denials and righteous sputtering.

Look, as colossal a fraud as Wade Cox may be (and let's be honest, the bar is subterranean), I'd still trust his version of the Sosten soap opera over Bwana Bob's any day of the week. Everyone with two brain cells to rub together knows Sosten treats church groups like an all-you-can-eat buffet: spot the next generous Muzungu sugar daddy, latch on, drain resources, repeat. Bonus points if he can work two or three franchises simultaneously—our Infallible host apparently being one of the lucky winners. Sources (the kind that actually talk) whisper that Sosten is now being questioned about his loyalty in Bobville, and—miracle of miracles—even Wade is side-eyeing him. Who knew?

Funny how so many of these sharp African church leaders can spot a COG delegation from outer space… yet somehow still swallow the honeyed promises hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, and fisherman. But fear not: the fault lies not with the dear, sincere regular members just trying to follow God. No, no—the real stench is coming strictly from the top-tier "leaders," especially the ones cozying up to the various Infallible Bwanas Bob. Stay tuned; I've got some spicy emails in the queue. Just waiting on the holy green light to unleash them.

The absolute best part? Our Infallible Bob can spot a "Satan-deceived false prophet" at fifty paces when it's Wade Cox, Ron Weinland, Dave Pack, or Gerald Flurry. But ask him to turn that laser gaze inward? Suddenly the mirror is broken, the lights are off, and wow, would you look at the time—he's the single most righteous, truthful, accurate, end-time prophet the world has ever been blessed to endure. What a coincidence. Truly the humility is overwhelming. 

Infallible Bwana Bob writes:

For over a decade, I have denounced wrong chronologies and other matters from CCG’s Wade Cox

He then goes onto list several of Wade Cox's false prophets (all of which we have highlighted on thsi blog inteh past):

2018- 2022 Two Witnesses of Revelation 11:2 prophesy over the same time and the earth is subdued by the wars of the fifth and sixth trumpet at the same time. Trumpets The Heavenly Signs 
 
2022-2024 Advent of Messiah 
 
2022-2024 The fall of the nations and the battles of Armageddon. … 
 
2021-2022 Passover is the probable last time for the two Witnesses to be in place in Jerusalem. Droughts of the two Witnesses commence. 
 
2024 Probable last date for the return of the Messiah …

And this:

2018-2024 Period of the Witnesses and the Advent of the King-Messiah at Jerusalem. 
 
2027 Jubilee of the end of the age. 
 
2028 Millennial rule from Jerusalem.

1916-1948 Establishment of the Jewish homeland. 
 
2021-2027 Return of the King.

2027 The fortieth Jubilee of the Sign of Jonah. Every rule and every authority and every religious system of this world or of this age is destroyed. 
 
2028 The millennial system commences under the Law of God.


2022-2025 Messiah intervenes and subjugates the nations. 
 
2027/28 Fortieth Jubilee year. Messiah takes total rule of the planet. 
 
2028 First year of the Jubilee of Jubilees since the Reading of the Law with Ezra and Nehemiah.

2023/4-2026/7 Witnesses arrive and teach for 1260 days; they are killed and lie in the streets for three days. They are resurrected and rise to meet Messiah. False prophet killed; First Resurrection of the dead.

2026 and 2027

2027 Subjugation of the planet under the seven vials of the wrath of God and the battles of Armageddon. The European system is destroyed then the kings of the East are brought down over the dried up basin of the Euphrates to the valley of Jezreel.

2027 The second exodus of Israel. Subjugation of the planet under the seven vials of the wrath of God and the battles of Armageddon. The European system is destroyed then the kings of the East are brought down over the dried up basin of the Euphrates to the valley ofĂ‚ Jezreel. 
 
2027 The fortieth Jubilee since Messiah and the forty-ninth since the second Temple and the restoration under Ezra and Nehemiah 
 
2028 First year of the Jubilee of Jubilees; the beginning of the Millennium

Infallible Bwana Bob then adds:

There is no possibility that the millennium can begin before 2033. Many of the other events pointed to have simply not happened. Wade Cox will be proven wrong on the millennium, jubilee, and other matters. Certain events that Jesus pointed to have not yet occurred which render Wade Cox’s dates impossible. 
 
Some have been critical of me pointing out false predictions from people who claim to be Church of God, but who are probably not truly COG, but instead are false. Because of its denial of Jesus’ divinity, I do not consider that CCG is truly a COG. 
 
Truly, in the grand hierarchy of Armstrongist enlightenment, there is only one beacon of unerring truth: Infallible Bob. Everyone else—literally everyone—is tragically, hilariously wrong. Always. Forever. If poor Wade Cox doesn't qualify as a real COG (shocker), then obviously Bob's own charisma-free personality cult doesn't count either. Rules for thee, but not for me—classic.

And the sermon rolls on! Our humble prophet graciously reminds his dwindling band of readers that he—and he alone—is the sole living embodiment of Jesus' righteous smackdown style when it comes to handling those pesky false COG leaders. What a selfless servant. How very Christ-like to call out every other self-appointed apostle, false prophet, and end-time pretender by name… while somehow forgetting to glance in the mirror and notice the guy wearing the exact same crown of infallible self-appointment. Pure coincidence, I'm sure. The humility practically radiates off the screen.
 
Remember how Jesus dealt with religious leaders (Matthew 7:15-23) and/or Laodiceans (Revelation 3:14-19). If the claims seem improperly prophetic or exceptionally bold, I tend to cite 2 Peter 2:1-3. 
 
Should we be concerned about false and heretical leaders? Should they always be ignored? Should we focus on the positive about them? What did Jesus do? What does the Bible teach? 
 
Many people do not seem to understand what Jesus was really like and what He really taught.
While it is true He taught, “love your enemies” and to “pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44), it is a misunderstanding to believe that Jesus taught that one could never point out the problems of religious enemies (and yes, we should still pray for them). 
 
And lo, the Infallible One presses onward in his sacred duty, dutifully compiling the exhaustive, irrefutable, mountain of positive "proofs" that—surprise, surprise—his little flock is, in fact, the One True Philadelphia Church of God. Not just any Philadelphian remnant, mind you. The real deal. Infallible. Untouchable. Beyond even the faintest whisper of reproach. Truly, the heavens themselves must pause in awe.

In a moment of peak self-anointment, he crowns himself yet another glittering title: modern-day Jude, defender of the faith, righteous thunderbolt of condemnation. Picture it: our humble prophet charging across the COG landscape like a one-man inquisition, zealously running around pointing fingers and pronouncing doom on every other group that dares to exist outside his perfect jurisdiction. How very Jude-like. How very… selective. Because nothing says "contending earnestly for the faith" quite like making sure everyone else is wrong while your own track record remains miraculously spotless in the mirror of your mind.

The consistency is almost artistic. Almost.

...Jude was not afraid to tell the truth about some false leaders who claimed to be Church of God Christians as well as about leaders who are mainly intent on building a following after themselves. 
 
That said, while I doubt the conversion of various false ones like Wade Cox, David Pack, Gerald Flurry, and Ron Weiland and do NOT consider that they are truly COG, some people attempt to practice the “guilt by association” game. This is an old Satanic tactic. The Bible teaches that Satan is the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:9-10), and we have seen his allies do the same as some like to lump the true in with the false in order to try to tarnish the true.

And just when you thought the sermon couldn't get any more gilded, the Infallible One trots out his trusty emergency backup validator: none other than Norm Edwards, the ever-reliable heretical apologist whose end-time prophecy credentials are apparently so rock-solid that quoting him instantly confers prophetic legitimacy. Because nothing screams "I'm God's one true mouthpiece" quite like leaning on a fellow traveler who's been comfortably outside the mainstream COG tent for years. It's the theological equivalent of saying, "Trust me, bro—Norm says I'm legit, and Norm's basically an oracle." Pure, unfiltered gold-star self-endorsement.

Meanwhile, the Bible—poor, overlooked thing—lays out one embarrassingly straightforward test for guys who keep announcing themselves as prophets: get even ONE prophecy wrong and you're done. Not "mostly right," not "spiritually fulfilled in mysterious ways," not "it'll happen any decade now." One swing and a miss = false prophet, full stop. Deuteronomy 18 doesn't mince words; it just hands out the red card.

So how's our Infallible Bob doing on the prophecy batting average? A pristine, gleaming .000. Zero hits, zero walks, zero anything resembling accuracy. The man has swung for the fences on dates, events, timelines, and dramatic fulfillments… and somehow managed to whiff every single time. Yet here he stands, still waving the prophetic bat like it's Opening Day, still quoting his cherry-picked cheerleaders, still declaring himself the last man standing in Philadelphia while the scoreboard flashes nothing but goose eggs.

At this point, the only miracle left is the sheer stamina required to keep pretending the mirror doesn't exist. Infallible? Sure—if the definition of infallible is "never once been right, but never once doubted himself." Ladies and gentlemen, that's not prophecy; that's performance art. And the COG audience keeps buying tickets. 

In the meantime, back to reading the letters about Sosten. More delicacies to come!

Worldwide Church of God Iowa Warns Those Who Reject HWA Deny Christ And Are Attached To Demons!



The end-time sole martyr for the truth has been rejected by his two brothers and now stands alone in his noble quest to restore the Worldwide Church of God to its glory days of old. In his tireless effort to revive the Zerubbabel work to its former splendor, Samuel Kitchen is constantly reaching out to Aaron Dean, begging him to reject the Laodicean filth he's currently part of and return to the 100% pure Worldwide Church of God Iowa—the only church without sin, destined to redeem the entire world through its magnificent restoration as it prepares for Christ to return to Earth and, uh, kick some ass.

Woe unto all you wayward former sisters and brothers who now reject Herbert W. Armstrong's teachings. Because you've rejected him, you've also denounced Christ Himself and most likely have a demon perched on your shoulder, gleefully guiding you down that oh-so-scary Laodicean path.

Aaron Dean is also reminded that it has been 16 years since he committed apostasy and joined the United Church of God. But there is good news! 2026 is the year of organizational beginning—if you're a numerologist who finds magical thinking in numbers, which far too many in Armstrongism unfortunately do.

From 2010 to 2026 spans 16 years, divisible by eight.
Eight represents new organizational beginnings.

This means Aaron Dean needs to get his act together, return to the mothership, and find redemption as the modern-day Joshua (sorry, Bob Thiel—you are NOT that guy! Always the bridesmaid and never the bride).

Christ has sent a heavenly telegram, through Samuel, to Aaron:

Telegram for Mr Dean! A letter from Jesus Christ is awaiting for you!

In Christ’s name I have faithfully delivered it to you,

Samuel W Kitchen
The foundation has been laid.
The Worldwide Church of God
-Iowa-


Samuel Writes: 
In 1993, structural changes inside the Worldwide Church of God, caused the cessation of the Zerubbabel work. This was accomplished through the regional pastor structure being established by the office of Joseph Tkach Jr and his assistant Victor Kubik.
1993 was 7 years after Mr Armstrong died.
For 17 years the work of Zerubbabel was halted.
In 2010, you were invited and hired by the UCG.
In 2010, my family resumed the Zerubbabel work, as the Worldwide Church of God.
We included Herbert W Armstrong (as he was the apostle), in the foundation of the Church.
People fought us on this. You even witnessed Steve Meyers telling me Mr Armstrong wasn’t part of the foundation.
These “groups” are all saying he isn’t.
Some faithful, like yourself, find opposition when you mention the apostle in a favorable light.
See the difference between those connected to the vine and those who are not? Those who deny Christ’s name, by rejecting the apostle, end up spiritually withered up and dry and often attached to a demon! They are a branch broke from the vine.
So between 1993-2010, was preparatory for me. My father, mother, have died. My two brothers are no longer involved. I remain and still continue to INCLUDE Herbert W Armstrong as part of the foundation of the Worldwide Church of God.
This is line with scripture, and evidence pointing towards the spiritual Body of Christ!
So the Philadelphia Candlestick, is the Worldwide Church of God. If you don’t believe me, believe Mr Armstrong who said it first. I’m just repeating what he said.
From 2010-2026, is 16 years, divisible by EIGHT.
Eight represents new organizational beginnings.
Joshua, is not Zerubbabel. But the foundation stone is laid before him(Zech.3:9).
When Joshua stands up, as the result of the Zerubbabel work, he will stand with the first witness!
Then together as TWO WITNESSES, we see Revelation 11 come into play. The beginning of the Laodicean era begins when the second witness stands up, after the stone is laid before him. The last era needs the foundation.
That’s what Christ has been doing.
I am not part of these groups, as directed by Christ my head. I am involved with INCLUSION OF HERBERT W ARMSTRONG.
AndI find great opposition who wants to EXCLUDE HIM.
But not you. You have a different spirit, O Caleb. That’s why I was drawn to you.
These “groups” are not the true Church of God, as you have said to me in times past. But being invited to the UCG group you were sort of “drafted”.
Mr Armstrong said GTA started a “group” not a Church of God.
Although GTA got “church status” by registering with the State!
This is an example that all groups have followed. They are just “groups”, and not the true Church of God.
They only have “church status” by registering with Babylon and gaining “daughtership”.
But the groups are filled with those from the Body of Christ.
And by INCLUDING Herbert W Armstrong in the foundation, it does EXCLUDE these “groups”, who say they are Jews but do lie.
Who say they are the church of God but really are just “groups”.
And those who look back to Christ, back to His apostle, reconnect with the VINE! And so the golden oil flows into those of the Philadelphia candlestick!
These groups are sapping the golden oil, like the foolish virgins, and because they are getting further and further away from the Worldwide Church of God.
As they get closer to what was taught through the apostle, they are being filled with the Holy Spirit of God!
As they get further away, they wither and dry up and so they request assistance from those of the Body of Christ who have the oil, because they want to enter the Kingdom “their own way”.
But Matthew 25 shows, in the Laodicean era, the wise and foolish are cut off from the supply of golden oil. It doesn’t depict a continuous flow of golden oil. The wise have a certain amount, and the foolish have none.
This is obviously the remnant of Revelation 12:17.
In Revelation 3, “the church of the Laodiceans” is a GROUP who was called to be members of the Worldwide Church of God(Philadelphia).
They separated from Christ, so Christ warns them to return.
Isaiah 30:15-18 reads: “For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
“But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
“One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.
“And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.”
Daniel 12:12 reads, “Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.”
The blessing on Philadelphia is to be spared(Mal.317) from the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation, in Revelation 3:10, Revelation 12:14-17. TO BE SAVED as Isaiah 30 shows.
The Lord will wait the Tribulation out, and will be GRACIOUS unto those of the Laodicean era!
Zerubbabel shall cry GRACE GRACE…
And therefore HE Christ, the cornerstone, shall be exalted.
That’s what Christ is doing Mr Dean, through me. My fruits can be examined.
And he is laying the foundation before you, preparing things for your job, so that together the Church may be prepared and made ready with final training.
Even your experience as College Dean, will not be thrown away.
Am I a false witness? Is Christ lying in the Word of God? Or am I telling you the truth? Christ is the faithful witness.
Mr Armstrong told you the church would come out of groups and go into a place of safety. You said that before in sermons.
It’s time, and it’s not something I started and chose. I was drafted.
Oh look, here’s your draft card too.
Telegram for Mr Dean! A letter from Jesus Christ is awaiting for you!
In Christ’s name I have faithfully delivered it to you,
Samuel W Kitchen
The foundation has been laid.
The Worldwide Church of God
-Iowa- 
 
Where do we even start.....

First off, Aaron Dean didn't "commit apostasy and join UCG" in 2010—that's creative fiction. He was around when UCG formed in the mid-90s (he didn't jump in right at the 1995 start because he was helping at the college, but he's been solidly with them for decades, giving sermons, serving on councils, and reminiscing fondly about HWA without ever claiming some secret "pure WCG" throne). The 2010 thing? Probably mixing up the big UCG split that birthed COGwa or something else entirely. Facts are hard when you're on a solo martyr mission, I guess.

As for that "only one left on the Advisory Council from '81–'86" bit floating around in certain Facebook groups and blogs? Sure, some folks (the 5 or 6 Samuel Kitchen enthusiasts) love to spin that Aaron secretly holds the keys to the real WCG like he's the last Jedi. Meanwhile, in actual reality, Aaron's been happily preaching in UCG, calling it home, and not exactly packing his bags to "restore" anything. He's not answering those endless "repent and return" DMs because... he's not interested. Shocking, I know.

And the numerology? 16 years = 2 × 8 = new beginnings? If we're playing Bible math, plenty of groups have claimed prophetic timelines based on sevens, eights, forties, whatever fits the spreadsheet. It hasn't worked out for any of them yet, but hey, 2026 is here and... crickets from the mothership reunion tour. Maybe the telegram got lost in spam.

If being the lone voice crying in the wilderness makes you feel special, go ahead. But declaring everyone else demon-possessed Laodiceans while your "pure" church consists of... you and 5 or 6 other people? That's not restoration; that's a very small Zoom call.

Aaron's probably busy giving another history-of-the-work sermon somewhere in UCG land, completely unaware (or politely ignoring) that he's supposed to drop everything and crown you the new Joshua 2.0. Perhaps take the hint: the "heavenly telegram" might just be wishful thinking.

Carry on with the quest, champ. The rest of us will be over here in the real world, where churches splinter, people disagree, and nobody's got a monopoly on being sin-free.
