The official spokesman of the Living Church of God and official authority on end times prophecy had an interesting quote on his page today about his latest endeavor, a video of his book Fatima Shock. Prophet Thiel wrote his book to claim that Catholicism is ruled by demons and evil spirits. Those demons are manifesting themselves in all kinds of visions in the Catholic church to take away from the true prophets of the Living Church of God. When the two witnesses emerge from the LCG and start performing miracles, they will be looked upon as false prophets because people will assume that the Catholic Church has the gift of prophecy.
For those that think Thiel is frowned upon by Meredith and crew for his predictions you are sadly deceiving yourselves. Meredith uses Thiel's works to formulate his messages. That is part of the reason as official spokesman of the Living Church of God that Thiel can say the things he does and get away with it. Thiel can say the things that Meredith cannot without causing direct issues for LCG. Meredith and LCG can disavow anything Thiel says at anytime as it is convenient. However, Meredith uses Thiel at appropriate times to supplement his teachings.
Prophet Thiel writes:
I wrote Fatima Shock! to warn people that apparitions that most people will think are Mary will likely be part of the signs and lying wonders that the Bible warns will deceive the world. Notice what Dr. Roderick C. Meredith of the Living Church of God warned about in his latest semi-annual letter:
All kinds of “miracles,” visions of the Virgin Mary and other strange sights and events will begin to take place—startling many…(Meredith RC. Semi-annual TW subscriber letter, May 18, 2012)Although most non-Catholics do not think that Fatima can affect them, if they live long enough this century, they will find that this is not the case. Fatima is a much bigger deal than people realize and seems to tie into a variety of prophecies throughout the Bible (e.g. Isaiah 47, Matthew 24, 2 Thessalonians 2, Revelation 17). How apparitions are likely to affect the world at the end seems to be a missing dimension in understanding prophecy by most who profess Christ. Although Dr. Meredith has warned about the sorcery of “Lady of the Kingdoms” in Isaiah 47 affecting end times in at least one booklet, relatively few in the Church of God truly understand how important it is to better know the truth about that “Lady.” The dangers, and even more details, are covered in my book Fatima Shock! What the Vatican Does Not Want You to Know About Fatima, Dogmas of Mary, and Future Apparitions.
Prophet Thiel is consumed with exposing what he sees as corruption and false teaching in the Catholic church. My question is why he never bothers to focus upon the false teachings and corporation in Armstrongism starting with his own group, the Living Church of God? I will not hold my breathe on that one.
All sightings and visions are in the heads of the folk who need them to be there. Even the Apostle Paul didn't really see any real Jesus. He heard a voice in his head and saw a light in his head.
ReplyDeleteIn the account of Jesus appearance to Saul on the road to Damascus—recorded by Luke in Acts 9, and then again in Paul’s address in Acts 22—we have a contradiction. Acts 9:7 records that the men traveling with Saul heard a sound while seeing no one while Paul states in Acts 22:9 that they did see the light but not hear a voice and did not understand. Perhaps it means they heard it but didn't understand it which means it was still only clear in Paul's HEAD.
Seeing the light at noon, as Paul noted tends to be normal in the Middle East as it is NOON!
The other thing is that hearing voices in the head and seeing bright flashes "all around me" is typical of temporal lobe epilepsy. On top of this , Paul never tells the Damascus story as Luke does and in Galatians says he was called from the womb as was Jesus and Jeremiah. I guess one can't beat that young calling.
Demons and Devils simply do not exist. These are all manufactured in the human mind to explain the then inexplicable. The God Haunted and superstitious today entertain such myths as reality.
Once you can see that the Cherubim of Ezekiel with the face of a man (Aquarius/Winter) a bull (Taurus/Spring, a lion (Leo/Summer) and an Eagle (Aquila/Fall) you can never trust the origins of any other celestial beast or being.
On top of that, the Plain Truth is that ALL Bible Angels are MEN, while ALL Gift shop Angels are FEMALE. Women sell better than nasty men with attitudes.
I would suggest Bob read The Origin of Satan by Elaine Pagels. A good understanding of the planet Venus will answer all one needs to know about Ezekiel's, "How you are fallen of Lucifer, Son of the Morning Star...."
Oh no!!!!! I found some pop corn that looks like the Virgin Mary and Freddy Mercury!
Freddy Mercury??? Demons for sure! "We will rock you.." and "We are the champions.." is pure demons talking to mankind about what they THINK they can do ...
ReplyDeleteAnd Bohemian Rhapsody? pffffft Don't even go there!!!

Well, if you believe in the Devil and demons, you need not look any further than LCG for proof.
ReplyDeleteTwo end time prophets seen to be false prophets?
Oh, I can think of many more than just two, but we can start with Roderick Meredith, who has been at it for 50 years and if he hadn't been cursed specifically by Ronald Weinland, he might actually be dead by now (Ronald Weinland curses seem to turn out to be some weird kind of blessing).
In thinking about it, no Armstrongist minister could possibly have any credibility as one of the two witnesses of Revelation.
Boy what fun it will be if Dave's Two Witlesses come on the scene when LCG's do or Ron Weinland recalculates and decides he and wife are once again the glorious two!
ReplyDeleteThey will have to battle each other for the pre-eminence.
Of course, the concept of the Two Witnesses is pure first century bunk and the first time anyone tries to rear their heads as the Two will end up in the Jerusalem Syndrome Ward, treated and then deported.

I wonder if the COG Prophets who spin the Book of Revelation as needed and read it as one would a newspaper could ever imagine it is a badly written, astrothological and forged mess that will never mean what they need and want it to mean.
ReplyDeleteNo John that they think they know wrote it and it has been in and out and in the canon depending on who gave it any credibility.
You guys are wasting your precious life time on this nonsense. The mind virus you have is incurable I suppose.
I hate to think how many sets of "Two Witnesses" have come and gone over the last 2,000 years. And how many more will come and go over the next 2,000.
