Forget everything you ever heard Herbert Armstrong tell you about "wormwood" from the Book of Revelation. He was wrong! Wormwood is alive today! He has been identified and is a Church of God member! Who knew??????
The THIRD TRUMPET ANGEL sounded on September 5, 2004 when Mrs. Barbara Flurry died. But someone may ask, Why would the death of Mrs. Flurry be connected with this “great star” in verse 10? Remember that the HEART is a symbol for the PCG ministry and someone specific from that ministry is being described in this prophecy as “a great star from heaven” who is being identified by God to be the root cause of the spiritual congestive heart failure of the PCG.Who is this “great star from heaven”? We know that a “star” signifies a “member.” So this is referring to a MEMBER of the ministry in God’s Church. Who is this minister from the PCG being mentioned here?And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. (Revelation 8:11)What is “Wormwood” in the Bible?Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; (Deuteronomy 29:18)The introduction of paganism in God’s Church is “Wormwood” in God’s eyes.
But God is giving the name “Wormwood” to a minister in God’s Church in this last end. But why give the name Wormwood?
From The Philadelphia Trumpet, November 1995, Simon Magus History—Prophecy for Today
Here is what The New Concise Bible Dictionary states about Simon Magus: “In Acts 8:9 a pagan wonder-worker who had amazed the local Samaritans. He claimed to be a manifestation of God (v. 10)…when he saw Philip’s signs and wonders, and the Holy Spirit given when Peter and John laid hands on the converts, he offered cash in return for the gift (vv. 17ff.)… he was obsessed with the idea of power” (p. 517, 1989).
There is another type in this last end who was so obsessed with the idea of power. He is this Wormwood being prophesied in Revelation chapter 8.
This last end Wormwood also thought to become a GREAT ONE just like his first century predecessor, Simon Magus. That’s why this spiritual Wormwood is being described by God as “a great star from heaven” or “a great member of the PCG ministry.”
That future is pertaining to this last end we are living in today. So another type of Simon Magus has infiltrated God’s Church whose influence far transcends his local region. This is the how paganism such as Mother’s Day, Irish Dance and Cremation was introduced to the PCG, because of this minister’s influence.
Who is this minister?Here is the 2017 version of "wormwood." We all knew that the Philadelphia Church of God was evil to its core and now it has been confirmed!
John McDonald is "wormwood!" This evil man is satan personified and has brought in such appalling evil as Irish Dance, Mother's Day observance and cremation! Shocking! Just shocking!
McDonald is also combining forces with Satan's other agent, Stephen Flurry.
Stephen Flurry and Brad Macdonald is already seeing their spiritual SICKNESS in the context of the Edstone work wherein it added nothing to the work of the PCG. At first when they went there, they thought that they would be able to acquire the Stone of Destiny in Scotland for themselves but God did not bless their efforts. So what have they done to save face or avoid humiliation? They concocted a plan to replace the real “Jacob’s pillar stone” in the minds of the PCG membership and came up with a very bright idea of making Mr. Armstrong’s supposed “Prayer Rock” as the new Stone of Destiny. Then to perfectly implement their plan, Stephen persuaded his father to give a sermon last January 2017 that made Mr. Armstrong a type of Jacob or Israel, while his father would claim the throne of the current physical royal household in Britain for himself, thus becoming its new king until Christ’s return.

It seems those Philipino members were quite distraught by his leadership.
A few things went wrong there.
From my perspective (which centers around the 1928 - 1986 time frame) "Wormwood" means "Chernobyl." But hey, I know. I'm like a needle stuck record player.

Madness, utter madness.
Run people, run as fast as you can. The entire cog scene appears to be falling apart. A read of Zech.11 tells us the reasons why.
(Zec 11:15) And YAHWEH said to me, Again take to yourself the tools of a foolish shepherd.
(Zec 11:16) For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land; he shall not visit those who are cut off, nor will he seek the young, nor will he heal that which is broken, nor will he sustain that which stands. But he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear off their hoofs.
(Zec 11:17) Woe to the worthless shepherd who abandons the flock! The sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye. His arm shall be completely withered, and his right eye shall be totally darkened.
All bible prophecy is ambiguous and is open to one's own interpretation. The years I spent in church I often heard different viewpoints on various prophecies from both old & new testaments which doesn't do anything to benefit a person's spiritual growth. The best thing a person can do is not worry about what may or may not happen and live your life to the fullest and hope for the best.
Love the picture of the Missoula Flood ice rafted to Eugene thru the Willamette Valley, when the water went from 1000 feet deep in the Columbia Gorge to 400 feet in Portland to 200 feet in Eugene 15,000 years ago from Montana prayer rock. :)
Made the posting well worth it. The rest...not so much.
So here we have PCG's parallel version of a Bob Thiel? What makes people become like this? Why not just leave and get on with a normal life? Here is another guy who is just absolutely consumed by the bizarre.

This is coming from a Philippines split off of Flurrys group, who are maintaining that they are staying to "the original faith once delivered to Flurry". The only thing that can be kookier than someone like Flurry, is a reactionary (even more crazy) splinter group taking the craziness to even higher levels.
McDonald and Stephen/Gerald Flurry are not Wormwood... They are just PECKERWOODS!
I remember my father, many years ago while we were "in the church" ranting some nonsense about wormwood.
Thankfully, it raised a red flag for me and I've been able to rethink things, since.
Now I praise wormwood, for all it's red-flagginess! It helped me leave the cult :)
so have McDonald & Steven Flurry fallen out of favor or something?
that article is so screwed up I can't make heads or tails of anything in it...
maybe that's why it's called confusion.
Wormwood, a bitter tasting plant used in flavoring and to wean nursing kids. But oh no, it couldnt be that simple. :)
What a crock. I can't believe that these guys actually believe the things they come off with!
I have heard about this group for a few years. Why would they even think that someone as insignificant as Steven Flurry or John McDonald would be even mentioned in The Bible? These guys just make this crap up as they go.
They are building their "work" on a faulty foundation. However, I do agree with them about the PCG's obsession with the "prayer rock" & Irish dancing. That has become a BIG part of their work.
"Wormwood" will be whatever Armstrongite goes viral.

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) can be used to rid the body of parasitic worms.

If fed to Mr. Flurry, Thiel, Weinland, etc. it just might work.
PCG has been trying to shoehorn HWA, the Tkaches and GF into the Bible for years. Why stop at them?
Hello Sweetblood777,
Why do you say madness, did you read the whole article yourself. And when you read and want to refute point by point you can always ask the author and I know he will answer readily. I challenge you to refute what's been written then ask the author if you want clarification or whatever.
I thought Armstrong taught that "wormwood" was a type of poisonous plant. I never knew it was a person.
