In The Former Prophets, I gave seven reasons God’s faithful people are called the sons of Zadok. I will list them here and add an eighth. These will help you keep your focus on the throne of David.
1. We cling to The United States and Britain in Prophecy.Leaders in the Worldwide Church of God got rid of this book in the 1970s. Mr. Armstrong brought it back. After he died, they shelved it again, and people just followed along. But the sons of Zadok stand up for the truth of God! We are loyal to David’s throne! We fought a six-year court battle to win the copyright to that book and others.
2. We continue the dig in Jerusalem. We will do quite a bit more before it is over, I am sure. This is all related to David’s throne, on which the sons of Zadok have their minds fixed.
3. We are spiritual Jews who never lose the key of David vision.This is the only vision given to the Philadelphians (Revelation 3:7).
4. We continue to let God deepen that vision.
5. We continue to follow Mr. Armstrong, who taught us the truth about David’s family throne. His prayer rock became the symbol of David’s throne! What an honor for Mr. Armstrong— forever! He didn’t know this would happen, but I’m sure it will be a pleasant surprise for him when he is resurrected shortly.
6. We have staged musicals about Jeremiah and David, and both are centered on David’s throne. In Armstrong Auditorium in 2012, we presented Jeremiah: A Musical and Step-Dancing Extravaganza, a musical with a message about David’s throne. A year later we produced David: The Endless Throne Begins.
7. We are doing all we can to proclaim the key of David message to Israel and the whole world.
Notice WHO is missing from the pciture....8. We have the new throne of David. Is that not a big part of why we are called the sons of Zadok? Think about this noble title! This is a tremendous honor that God has given us. Surely He did so because He knew we would have the throne of David in this end time.
ReplyDelete“PCG: Eight Reasons Why We Are Sons Of Zadok”
Typo alert!
Should read: Eight Reasons Why We Are Sons Of SATAN
1. The PCG did away with the “great commission” to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God and replaced it with a “new commission” to cause massive division among families, friends, and COGs everywhere and call it “warning the Laodiceans.”
2. The PCG plagiarized The Letter to Laodicea by Jules Dervaes, renamed it Malachi's Message, revised it half a dozen times, and started to teach that it had been delivered by a mighty angel and that it is the “little scroll” mentioned in the book of Revelation.
3. The PCG did away with the teaching that the church is led by an apostle and that prophets have no administrative, executive or preaching functions in the church, and replaced it with the idea that the church is led by a prophet.
4. The PCG did away with the idea that Deuteronomy 18:18-19 was referring to Jesus and replaced it with the idea that it was talking about Gerald Flurry.
5. The PCG did away with the commandment to honor one's parents and replaced it with a new command to cut off all contact with them if they do not follow a false prophet.
6. The PCG is doing the anti-Elijah work of turning the hearts of the fathers and their children against each other so that they will never again say even so much as a word to each other.
7. The PCG claims to be faithfully holding on to everything that HWA had taught but edited and changed the writings of HWA that the PCG bought from the WCG apostates.
8. Local PCG goons try to pair up other people's children--but not their own children--with old sex maniacs, sex perverts, and predators, and call it doing so much for them and trying so hard to “help” them.
Zadok was the first High Priest in Solomon's Temple.
ReplyDeleteJesus and Gerald Flurry, then, are types of Zadok.
"We are doing all we can to proclaim the key of David message to..(the baked plains of Oklahoma?)"
ReplyDeleteComment was made: "...Notice WHO is missing from the pciture..."
ReplyDeleteYou've got me thinking about WHO was missing! I thought:
Mickey Mouse?
Jesus Christ?
Zadok?
Sons of Zadok?
Gerald Flurry?
Some stupid rock?
What picture?
Gerry dreamed up 8 reasons out of the imagination of his own mind.
I found only 3 places the sons of Zadok were mentioned that nothing to do with Gerry's 8 reasons: Here is the three!
Eze 40:46 And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him.
Eze 44:15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
Eze 48:11 It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
But Gerald wrote: "...In The Former Prophets, I gave seven reasons God’s faithful people are called the sons of Zadok. I will list them here and add an eighth. These will help you keep your focus on the throne of David..."
Gerald Flurry: why do you write such things about David's throne, sons of Zadok, or as mentioned in the previous post some gunlap about Christ's supposed second coming? Or, as I refer to it...some Mickey Mouse Millennium (MMM) with Jesus reigning on earth.
Think about it! Zadok already has his own family of sons, but Zadok and his sons will not resurrected until AFTER the MMM!
David's throne? Who cares? David doesn't care; he's sleeping, and won't awake until the time AFTER the MMM at the time of the second resurrection. Gunlap for what?
Gerald, driven by another spirit, has advised us of another Jesus by means of using another gospel. Jesus nor His Father ever told us that Jesus would soon be reigning on earth, which the meek won't inherit until they awake at the time of the second resurrection...years AFTER Satan in wrath comes out of that "bottomless pit."
8 reasons are not worth thinking about b/c they are meaningless...perhaps like what was missing from the picture.....NOTHING!
Time will tell...
John
These hardly qualify as "reasons". It's more like "We are the Sons of Zadok, well...because I say so!" or "I am obviously God's Apostle because, well...I have a jet!"
ReplyDelete6. We have staged musicals about Jeremiah and David, and both are centered on David’s throne.
ReplyDeleteOh, hmmmm, now you do almost persuade me. That's hard to argue with. (head smack:)
The world and all reprobates will obviously and soon be without excuse with this kind of powerful witness, reasoning and proof.
I feel like I’m coming down with something. I think it’s a bad scoff.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? What part of haplotype does Flurry not understand?
BB
his "logic" is beyond belief...
ReplyDeletewhat's even sadder is that there are people that believe him.
We are sons of Zadok because:
ReplyDelete1. We follow Herb (sometimes).
2. We go to church.
3. We breathe.
4. Who needs a reason?
5. We are the pcg.
6. We say so.
7. We just are.
8. All of the above.
6. We have staged musicals about Jeremiah and David, and both are centered on David’s throne.
ReplyDeleteOh, THIS is the logic they're using now to dupe people into their strange beliefs? I think it makes all the sense in the world. Really. I mean....
1. Bob Thiel had dreams about something about a line so that makes him validated as a prophet.
2. Bob Thiel had someone anoint him for an illness and somehow it turned into an ordination and that makes him validated as a prophet.
3. Dave Pack runs a "church", got support to build some buildings and run a website - and somehow that made him legitimate as the one true leader of the one true church worldwide.
4. Herb Armstrong's wife had a dream and it somehow validated his entire movement.
5. Herb Armstrong visited some Heads of States to promote his magazines and empire and was somehow "preaching the Gospel" to all nations.
The examples could go on and on, and on. It seems that the COG leaders have a real knack at taking ordinary events and making them absolutely enormous in their significance. There is no better example than That Rock.
It was just an ordinary Rock hanging out in an ordinary place. Suddenly, this man named Gerald got the idea that this rock was universally, astronomically, and galactic in it's significance. Suddenly, this little rock was the most important rock in the solar system. No, the Milky Way. No, the Universe. Why not the MULTI-VERSE, come to think about it. Gerald found That Rock and somehow, That Rock became the most revered piece of rock anywhere - and this without proof, without substantiation, without evidence, without reason, without thought. The ONLY thing that has elevated that rock to idolatrous proportions is Gerald's mind. That's it.
They've all done it. They all keep doing it. And by attaching such monumental, over-reaching, all-encompassing significance to ordinary things, and then, attaching spiritual significance to it, they've created a false, intangible narrative used to funnel in millions of dollars and for what?
A jet. Concerts. A building. Gerald's ego.
But wow. To be that rock. To go from a just a lonely old rock to..... a lonely old rock sitting on a purple satin sheet. To have hundreds of people looking at it thinking things like
"Ohhhhh oooooooooooohhhhhhh Mr. Armstrong, that Apostle KNELT in front of THIS ROCK. THIS ROCK! Can you believe it? He touched THIS ROCK. And I'm RIGHT NEXT TO THIS ROCK. LOOK AT IT! Oh look, is that an eyebrow hair? HEY! I FOUND AN EYEBROW HAIR OF HWA!!!! LOOK!!!!!!!! LOOK!!!!!! oooooooh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh!!!! WE NEED A DNA KIT! WE NEED TWEEZERS! EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM THE ROCK ITS A HAIR! ITS AN HWA HAIR! OH THAT'S GOT TO BE SIGNIFICANT! SOMEONE FIND IN SCRIPTURE WHERE FINDING THE APOSTLES HAIR MEANS SOMETHING! FIND ME ALL THE SCRIPTURES ON HAIR! OH LOOK! Proverbe 16:31 says " GRAY HAIR IS A CROWN OF SPLENDOR!" OF COURSE! THAT MEANS HWA'S GRAY EYEBROW HAIR PROVES THAT THIS IS A CROWN OF SPLENDOR! THAT VERIFIES EVERYTHING! What a moment of revelation for the Church! Now we MUST put this BELOVED EYEBROW HAIR on it's own PEDESTAL! It was all here in scripture! PICK UP YOUR OWN BIBLE AND READ IT FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!"
Gag.
Barf.
Hurl.
Sadly. Not out of the realm of possibility.
So PCG stages three absolutely CRAPPY plays and that somehow helps prove they are the true church and God's chosen? What is wrong with people that believe this nonsense? Are there any COGS member who have the slightest capability of making rational thoughts anymore?
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for a C of G to say, "We are the true church of God because we practice the true religion that God finds acceptable by taking care of those in need and keeping ourselves uncorrupted by the world (James 1:27).
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for a C of G to say, "We are the true church of God because we practice the true religion that God finds acceptable by taking care of those in need and keeping ourselves uncorrupted by the world (James 1:27).
ReplyDeleteThey wont. Because the very things they think are UN-corrupted by the world are some of the most corrupted of all especially in intent in practice.
Sons of Zakok?
ReplyDeletePshhh.
I'd rather be a son of God, thank you! (1 John 3:1)
How about 8 surefire reasons they are The Sons of Bitches their theology has shown them to be?
ReplyDeleteTheir understanding or doctrinal approach is what makes them be sons of bitches! Matt 23:15

All satan would have to do to stop God's plan is to smash a rock. Mr. Flurry better have a 24 hour armed guard around the rock.
ReplyDeleteCaper anyone?
DeleteAll satan would have to do to stop God's plan is to smash a rock. Mr. Flurry better have a 24 hour armed guard around the rock.
ReplyDeleteNatural things that could easily throw/move/change The Rock:
1. Tornado. Being in Edmond, Oklahoma, it would be very easy for even a weak tornado to hurl a rock some distance. The Rock of Herbert IS outside. Once thrown, good luck finding it. How would that go over? "Has anyone seen our Rock?" This Just in. Universal Rock of Unfathomable Significance Hurled by Little Vortex. Details at 11.
2. Earthquake. Being in Edmond, Oklahoma, there is also a substantial risk of Earthquake. If an Earthquake was to collapse the buildings, good luck finding The Rock. The Rock would probably be damaged and unrecognizable. We Will, We Will Rock you....
3. Flood. Though not likely in Oklahoma, a flash flood could carry the rock some distance. Good luck finding it. The Rock could find itself somewhere north of Oklahoma City, losing all sense of Universal Prestige. Rivers of Living Waters would flow, carrying the Stone of Herbert to Go..........
4. Lightning Strike. A bolt of lightning could strike The Rock, shattering it into thousands of shards, marbles, pebbles and pieces. Then they would have to piece it together to get the Most Important Stone In the Universe back together so Christ can Sit on It. Snap, Crackle Pop, Rock Krispies.
5. Sinkhole. Though extremely unlikely, a sinkhole could open up and swallow The Rock. The Rock would literally be "Against the Gates of Hell".
6. A Drunk Gerald. Quite Possible, a Drunk Gerald could be wandering around outside after drinking a 6-Pack and somehow think The Rock is a toilet. Without thinking, he would then proceed to stream a River of Gerald Water to Water The Rock, temporarily ruining/staining/defacing The Most Significant Rock In the Universe. Riversss of Gerald's Water shall flow..... Sing it with me....
7. A Skunk. A Mouse could be hiding under The Rock. The Skunk would become Irate, and hurl a catastrophic mess of organic yuck towards that rock, making it the smelliest Rock in Edmond. It would be impossible to rid The Rock from the glories of the Skunk.
8. A Large Dog. A Large Dog could dig a hole and Bury The Rock without thinking about it. Of course, the PCG would think the Rock was sent by some devil to Bury the Rock, and would unleash their Special Forces to handle the Possessed Dog that Buried the Universal Stone of Herbert. How Dare It!
Fracking?

Apparently, Gerald Flurry got sprayed by a skunk yesterday.
ReplyDeleteOops, Gerry!
"Sons of Zadok" sounds like it ought to be a Star Trek episode.
