Where would the Church of God be today without deluded self-appointed false prophets wetting their pants over end time events? Leave it to Almost-ordained Bob Thiel to carry on that tradition. He even has to brag that he is standing on top of a supervolcano! Scary!
Waving his Bible in the air, the Elijah wannabe speaks about super volcanoes, geothermal energy and the end times:"Are supervolcanoes, such as Yellowstone in the USA or various ones in New Zealand a real threat? If so, what type of threat? Are supervolcano issues consistent with biblical prophecies? If so, which ones? Could the eruption of a supervolcano make the USA, New Zealand, or other lands vulnerable to takeover in the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21). Dr. Thiel answers these questions while standing a top of a supervolcano in a geothermal area of Rotorua, New Zealand. A written article of related interest may be "Are supervolcanoes are a real threat?""
Between volcano's and wayward planet Nibiru, what is a poor prophet to do?
Never fear, Elisha Thiel knows!
Of course, it is not just North America that could be affected by supervolcanoes, or the coming Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21).
There are volcanoes in many parts of the world and nearly all can cause major problems. But as Yellowstone is in the USA, it would be those in the USA, and probably Canada, that would be the most affected by it should it erupt."
He ends with this dire warning:
Things will not remain as they have. Yellowstone could erupt. Elements will melt. Get your spiritual life in order.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda...the never-ending story through which all COG false prophets qualify their statements.
I can't listen to this idiot for more than three minutes. Why can't he swallow whatever the hell he has in his throat before they start filming?
ReplyDeleteWhy must he flail his arms??He has no speaking ability at all!
Three minutes? I don't even want to press play. Where are the spouses of these church leaders? If I set myself up as one, my wife would quickly disabuse me of my illusion.
DeleteHe's also got a strange concept of prophecy.
ReplyDeleteHe's speculating about things that could happen in tandem or rapid succession, and cobbling them together into an Armstrongist prophecy scenario. His speculation is as wild as his hand gestures!
If he were a real prophet, he'd be naming specific events, dates and times, and his events would be coming to pass on schedule. However, obviously, he's watched what has happened to Weinland and Pack, and is being a more cautious type of "prophet". In the end though, it really doesn't matter if a false prophet is anal retentive, or anal explosive, he's still a false prophet!

Funny how Thiel and few other current wannabe "prophets" use HWAs "Greetings Friends around the World" opener.
ReplyDeleteI guess this is the "special Godly anointed" opener, and any other is a sign of "non-blessed or God sanctioned".
I'd respect them more if they imitated the old AM radio rock DJ's and opened with "Well, Hi there cats and chicks!".

His voice grates on the nerves.
ReplyDeleteHe's guessing and his guess is no better than anyone else's.
ReplyDeleteIt's all 'argument from (fake) authority.'
An earthquake will wipe out California long before a super volcano happens in Yellowstone. A super volcano would cause worldwide problems, i.e. a cold summer.

I wonder if Pyroclastic Bob’s god get’s impatient waiting for the magma chamber under Yellowstone to fill over the hundreds of thousands of years necessary so he can get around to trying to get our attention. Lesser melting of the elements are generally considered attractions and not usable by Bob’s god in the march of prophecy.
ReplyDeleteI predict....or rather prophesy a 9+ earthquake and tsunami in the Pacific Northwest “soon”. (Within 50 years). It will put Vancouver, Seattle and Portland into the Stone Age in 5 minutes Further more , I predict it will occur along the 800 mile Juan de Fueca plate in the Cascadian Subduction Zone 60 miles off the coast. Thus let it be said...thus let it be written. Or it could be today.... stay tuned.
ReplyDeleteBob Thiel "...ends with this dire warning:
ReplyDelete"Things will not remain as they have. Yellowstone could erupt. Elements will melt. Get your spiritual life in order."...
When will Bob Thiel get his spiritual house in order? Why get one's spiritual house in order?
Apparently, Bob Thiel believes one may somehow qualify for something, perhaps GET/Earn one's salvation by one's works. It sure sounds like it; otherwise, why all the FEAR RELIGION foisted off on us?
And who is listening...really listening to the likes of Bob Thiel? Really?
Has Bobby not read the following?
2 Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, NOT ACCORDING TO our WORKS, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
Titus 3:5 NOT BY WORKS of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Is Bob Thiel possibly telling us that his spiritual house/life is in order, so that now he may boast about it?
I am not going to ask Bob Thiel how he got his spiritual life in order so that I may strive to emulate it. Duh!
For Bob Thiel's eyes: IT IS NOT...
"...of works, lest any man should boast." Eph 2:9
Why not preach, instead of FEAR RELIGION, the following to the world?
"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, NOT imputing their trespasses unto them..." 2 Corinthians 5:19
You, Bob Thiel, can't do that anymore than any of the other xcog leaders could; can you?
Time will tell...

There's several YouTube videos on the 2004 and 2011 tsunamis that struck Japan . Sobering to watch. I feel sorry for the poor victims. In one video it shows a black car doing a U turn away from the tsunami. It was yards away. I wonder if he/she outran it.
ReplyDeleteHavent we already been here? 10/2016 is way past.

ReplyDeleteMY COMMENT - Or, howl like Wolfman Jack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtNa9v9d5v4
Who does doubly blessed almost arrested Elijah Profit bitter Bob Thiel think he is? Garner Ted Armstrong?? "Greetings friends around the world". Hey Bob, take a clue from Byker and Wolfman for an interesting and audience capturing introduction. Of course, the diluted boring BS that follows will let everyone down but will increase your click view count - and that's all that really counts.

Yes, Richard, there are indeed volcanoes in Armstrongism. But, most of them belch hot, smelly gasses and effluvium as a result of the approved diet to which members adhere, and the doctrines which they teach. So, to that extent, Thiel's prophecy will continue to come true. However, Yellowstone will not be involved.
DeleteBB
Also, Wolfman Jack's howl should indeed be required by the FCC for warning purposes, at regular strategic junctions in all of these spiritual wolves' broadcasts! Great observation, and hilarious as well!

ReplyDeleteCaptn Hinesight: almost hired, then fired
Meredith knew what he was doing (60 years experience in this field)
"Greetings Friends around the World"
ReplyDeleteUsing this introduction when while backgrounded by creaking bookcases or faded curtains is one thing, but Bob also uses it when speaking before his FOT audiences. Don't they know who he is?
