Jesus Christ told the religious leaders of His day, "Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times" (Matthew 16:3).Yes, so it is today, 13 years AFTER he wrote this article. 64 Years along the road where he has been spouting this same silliness day in and day out.
So it is today.
Many professing ministers of Jesus Christ are highly educated in the technicalities of theological jargon, Semitic languages and biblical literature. They are often very intelligent men, but in the theological seminaries they are seldom taught about the REAL God of the Bible who intervenes in human affairs, who guides the overall destiny of major nations and who will soon RULE this earth with a "rod of iron" (Revelation 19:15).
Many professing ministers of
Yet all around us the signs of the END of this present civilization are beginning to appear. The God of creation is beginning to intervene in the weather and in bringing about major earthquakes as Jesus predicted (Matthew 24:7). The specific indications of the coming massive DISEASE EPIDEMICS are becoming more and more ominous, as you can discover in our booklet Who Controls the Weather? which will be sent to you absolutely FREE upon your request.For over 70 some years this is the same plodding argument spit out in magazine articles, booklets, TV programs and co-worker letters. God is soooooooooooooo pissed that he takes great pleasure whipping up tornadoes that destroy lives and property. Rod's god gets really excited when he can cause major quakes that kill thousands at a time. Rod's god particularly likes to use tsunami's where he can obliterate tens of thousands of pagans in one quick swipe.
As some of us in this Work have been predicting for decades, a European Empire is indeed coming together. It will be dominated by a rearmed and revitalized Germany, as we stated long before this became obvious to the news media. It will also be mightily influenced by the great "mother church" described in Revelation 17. In fact, this European Empire will probably not take its final form until a great religious leader arises in Europe to bring it about.Yes Sir Rod! Germany is rising up! Get ready for those invading Germanic hoards that will set up concentration camps in this country, take the young virile men and nubile women off to Europe to be slaves, torture Americans with glee by hanging us on meat hooks and tying us to the bumpers of four jeeps as they take off in four different directions so they can rip us to shreds. I remember as a youth hearing that bullshit from you! What kind of sick mind dwells on this kind of stuff day in and day out?
Meanwhile tens of millions of "mainstream" Protestants have lost their spiritual foundations. They are all mixed up. Many now fully approve of homosexuality and even same-sex "marriages." Most of these mainstream "Christians" have "no problem" with fornication, young couples living together before marriage, "occasional" lying and cheating and the continuing murder of millions of unborn children.Woo Hoo! Its SEX time again. Not a letter, article or broadcast goes by with out sex being brought into the equation. Rampaging gays out to steal your children and embarrass you by getting married and staying together longer than many of the COG members have. How can we forget about the fornicating youth in the Church of God, including those in your own family who sowed their wild oats before they got married. What about the on going lying and cheating that ministers/members of your own church do on a daily basis?
The coming religious leader in Europe will quickly fill the now-apparent void in morality, and will appear to be unique in having the courage to "stem the tide" of immorality sweeping the entire western world. Many leaders of the ecumenical movement will "leap into the arms" of this charismatic figure. For he—they will think—will be the "one" to bring ALL of professing Christianity together again. He will be the one to bring about Christian unity at last!The new Pope so far has set a better example on what Christian charity is than you or the LCG has ever done. You should be ashamed! Won't it be embarrassing if the Pope actually did unify all Christians together while the remaining few thousand of Church of God members are splintered into 700+ splinter groups all claiming they have the truth and everyone else are liars. You had better get your own house in ordered before you condemn others!
Meanwhile, the spiritual and moral deterioration of the United States and British descended peoples will continue unabated. Our national prestige and power will keep on diminishing—unless there is a profound national REPENTANCE for sin to a degree unprecedented in modern times! In all honesty, do any of you see that kind of national repentance, humiliation and FASTING before the God of heaven coming about in the foreseeable future?
In all honesty have we ever seen you and your church humbling yourselves and praying for and fasting for the nation? Have you sacrificed your lives to bring about change? Your own church is a cesspool of of spiritual and moral deterioration. When have you and your church got off your rear ends and took care of the homeless, held the hands of drug addicts and alcoholics? When have you set down to eat with prostitutes and gays? When have you carried on a loving relationship with other Christians outside of your group? Many Christians talk about being the hands of Jesus in a hurting world by bringing forth the Kingdom into this world one person at a time. From you we hear death and damnation as you say, "screw them all, they are sinful filth, God will take care of them later."

Armstrongism: Faking the gift of prophecy, and hoping their version eventually comes true! It may be a temporary moneymaker, but it also ruins real lives. Better a fool should remain silent......

Instead of "wolves in sheep's clothing" I think the Bible should have said "wolves in shepherds clothing" because, obviously, the sheep aren't the deceivers, they just parrot what their shepherds spoon feeds them. There is only one reason that I can think of that the Bible doesn't say "wolves in shepherds clothing" - the shepherd-wolves wrote the books. And, as we all know, the sheep are to blame --- for everything the shepherds get wrong.
Yes, the failed predictions of HWA and his minions are not HWA and his minion's fault. No, it's because their sheep have not prayed long and hard enough, have not fasted 40 days and 40 nights without food and water like Moses and Jesus, have not been faithful in tithing - especially tithing - and they just don't "get it". Jesus can't return because of it.
"Be ye therefore perfect even as your father which is in heaven is perfect" is not a suggestion, it's a commandment! Hop to it, CoGers, you are not yet perfect.

Without God's Spirit dwelling within those of the xcogs there is no way they may have the fruits of God's Spirit (Gal 5) and do what was just written there.
What are they left with, then? A huge concentration on SELF and how great they think they are in their own lives. Then they easily compare themselves with others, are white and clean in their own eyes, and so they can only do the following: judge and condemn others.
And since deep down, they believe God is a "loser," their professed "good news" with all of that junk food prophecy that they dish out, they come across are really preaching "The Bad News" of some future they have in mind.
And they still can't "see" it. Why not?
Jesus Christ might turn a blind eye to what was just written there and simply say:
John 15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
And yes, these leaders of the xcogs are going to be seen, as the original post said, as hypocrites...
John
What part of "Only the Father knows" does RCM not understand? He has the nerve to mock those with educations in the field of Theology. Yet, if he had taken one course on hermeneutics, he would drop much of what HWA was teaching. If he studied Jewish marriage customs, he would understand better what Jesus meant when he said, "I am going to prepare a place for you." His ignorance is matched only by his arrogance.

AMEN!
I read that article while I was deceived by LCG. I had already fallen for their lies and deceptions by this time.
"a European Empire is indeed coming together. It will be dominated by a rearmed and revitalized Germany, as we stated long before this became obvious to the news media."
It was never "obvious" and the European Empire was supposed to conquer America by 1972.
Also there was long before the folly of having nation states give up their own currency to one controlled by the European Central Bank was exposed. Because Greece, Ireland and Portugal did not control their own currency they were unable to devalue the currency, their options were severely restricted and they went bankrupt. Just yesterday I heard the unemployment rate in Greece is now 27%. The problem is the Euro and austerity. They have been catastrophes for the people of Greece, Ireland, Portugal and other weak economies in the Eurozone.
Meredith completely failed to see any of that.
Also the COGs did not foresee the fall of the Iron Curtain. They thought some Eastern European countries would leave the Iron Curtain to join the revived German led European combine. They had no idea they would leave because the Soviet Union was unwilling to force them to submit to Soviet military power again and the Eastern Europeans would take advantage of this to get out of Communism.
In fact old WCG taught that the Soviet Union would outlast the USA and that Soviet Communism would only fall several years after the return of Christ. In the 1950s they thought India would fall to Communism. Did not happen. They were wrong. Instead this Meredith pretends he was right, or at least more right than the non-COG world.
What a shameless deceiver this Meredith is.
