The WND, the official news source for many Churches of God is breathlessly reporting that the first red heifer in 2,000 years has been born in Israel. According to Numbers 19 the red heifer was to be without blemish and is to be sacrificed for the purity of Israel. This is also a harbinger of the Second Temple being built and their return of the Messiah.
“This is the ritual law that Hashem has commanded: Instruct B’nei Yisrael to bring you a red cow without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which no yoke has been laid.This is sure to soon send the two resident self-appointed prophets of idiocy in the Church of God (James Malm and Bob Thiel) as they twist their self-righteous prophetic knickers all in a knot. The two resident Jesus deniers believe this is proof that prophecy is coming alive. The myths of Judaism are just as valid to these two guys as is the Mayan and Catholic myths are.
From James Malm making wild and speculative prophecies over middle East situations and Bob Thiel's self-declaration of prophetic importance as the one an only true prophet to the COG today, the idiocy of their views on world events have no boundaries for rational thinking.
From believing rampaging Muslims will bring about the end times to Fatima and popish predictions as harbingers of the end times, these two guys will manipulate scriptures in order to make themselves look "right." From obscene demands to force people to prostitute themselves to the law to believing there is only one true church active on earth today. Jesus is always cast to the side. Grace and mercy are unknown qualities for men who have turned their backs on the god they claim to follow.
Old Herb was insane enough, but these guys are totally over the edge into pure idiocy. There will always be the gullible who listen to their crap.
ReplyDeleteThis happened before. Evangelical ranchers were actively working on special breeding projects seemingly to force prophecy. As their perfect specimen was coming to age, it began to grow some white hairs, and became valueless as the special sacrifice.
ReplyDeleteThe event inspired a short story which I contributed to the Painful Truth. It’s still there: Https://hwarmstrong.com/kidnapped.htm
Reading anything by the various churches of Armstrong makes me feel so dirty & violated.
ReplyDeleteOne of the earliest PTs I received contained a story about building of the Third Temple, and HWA claimed that it had to be soon as time is short. Another PT reader then decided to speed things along by setting fire to the Al Aksa mosque, and played down the Third Temple teaching.
ReplyDeleteDave Pack made a claim that a temple wouldn't be built (because that could take years to complete) so he developed his unique end-time scenario. Bob Thiel denied that HWA taught a temple would be built, and that the Temple Institute says only an altar is required. Waiting for a Third Temple would just take too long.
I've found that when COGleaders try to explain things about the Tabernacle/Temple, Levites and the Aaronic priesthood, they reveal how utterly clueless they are...
Didnt Lucille Ball, with her red hair, fulfill prophecy, of a "red heifer in the temple" when she used to go to Ambassador Auditorium events sponsored by AICF?
ReplyDeleteInquiring minds need to know!
Yes, she did!
DeleteYes, but that was after her Henna Rince sacrifice.

I though the red heifer had to come from Dave Pack's farm.
