Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web of Corrupt Leaders

Did you know you CAN predict the tribulation?



For decades COG wannabe leaders have made every imaginable interpretation of Scripture that there can be made, and yet that never stops them from continuing on dreaming up new things.

Our OTHER favorite COG prophet has now dreamed up a new take on end-time predictions. In order to prove he is legitimate he has to be able to twist things so that he appears to know what is really going on.

James Malm claims that people who quote Matthew 24:36 are using this scripture because they are spiritually lazy. And here we go again with another self-appointed know-it-all that thinks he and he alone knows what is correct.
Many people will quote Matthew 24:36 and use it to claim that we cannot know when the great tribulation will begin, this is then used as an excuse for spiritual laziness and a reason not to bother studying the prophets.  Lets analyze this quote from our Lord. 
Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.  24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 
Notice how he craftily rewords the scripture to present himself as the harbinger of truth. Deluded though, as it is.
The very first thing to notice is that this quote has absolutely nothing to do with the tribulation and refers specifically to the coming of Christ.  Jesus does not say that no one can know when the tribulation will begin; he does say that no one at that time knew the day that he would return to rule the earth. 
Then his subtle deception below as he carries on trying to legitimize his right to make predictions.
The second point is that he did not say that no one will ever know, he said that no one knew at that specific time.  Remember that he was still in the flesh, he had not yet died and been resurrected.  We are told in Revelation five that after his resurrection Jesus Christ the Lamb of God was found worthy and was allowed to unseal and open the books.  
The Chief Pharisee is wanting you to believe that since Jesus unsealed how things will be happening that this opens the door for Malm to say what he does, because his creature "jesus" speaks to and through him.

Malm now wants you to believe that his end times are here and that his god has now channeled through him all that we need to know about the end times.
The third point is that the prophets were sealed from the understanding of men by God until the very end time (Dan 12:9) and then they would be unsealed and revealed when there was a need to know at the very latter day just before the tribulation is to begin (Dan 12:10).  Therefore no man could understand the latter day prophets until God revealed them to to Jesus Christ who would then reveal them to God’s true servants when there was a real need to know.  Part of the purpose of this concealing and revealing of the meanings of the prophets was to clearly reveal just who God’s true servants are in this critical period when the tribulation is about to begin. 
Malm believes he is that one true servant at this critical time in church history. Oh hell no!  We know that is not true and that he is NOT a prophet or even a messenger of God's word.
These things of God were sealed and kept hidden until the Appointed Time of their revealing at the very last days; which is why there has been almost no understanding of the Biblical Festivals, Biblical Calendar and the end time prophecies until now.  
What is so very sad is that most of today’s Spiritual Ekklesia rejects the expansion of knowledge and understanding that God has promised to reveal in this end time.
No one knows more about the Bible and prophecy that the Chief Pharisee and bastardizer of the law.

Malm doesn't stop there, but carries on with this:
Then the Lamb of God who overcame all sin and was resurrected at the end of the third day to rise up as the Wave Offering to be accepted for us, was found worthy to unseal the book. 
He was accepted as the Redeemer of the sincerely repentant and the restored spirit High Priest [Melchizedek] of God the Father who’s job was and is, to reconcile people to God.  He was found worthy to unseal and open up an understanding of the books: Because his sacrifice made the prophecies of the Word of God SURE!  
If Jesus Christ had not been successful, there would have been no need to understand the prophecies because they would all have failed!
His creature Jesus could have apparently screwed up and been unsuccessful and we would never have to need Malm to become a martyr for the world and our one true teacher.
Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 
Brethren, that time has come!
The Fourth Answer is that Daniel was told by the angel Gabriel in the 2300 Day prophecy of Daniel 8 that Messiah would come to cleanse the temple mount and build the Ezekiel temple 2,300 years after the empire of Alexander was divided into four parts.  If the starting date to the count is accurate this clearly sets the coming of Christ in 2024 A.D. which means that the tribulation would begin in the winter of 2020-2021.  
Of course the date would depend on an accurate starting date and God has now provided a way to confirm that date with the double prophecy of Ezekiel 4.
Then the Chief Pharisee lets us know that what his god has revealed to him how the crap will hit the fan within the next year. 2021 is sure going to be a hell hole! Not that 2020 hasn't been.
Israel: Britain [Ephraim] and America [Manasseh]- The first English settlement on the American seaboard was at Jamestown when 104 men with no women landed and tried to make a go of it.  This was not part of any major English immigration but a small group seeking a place of refuge for themselves.
The second “colony” was started at Plymouth by less than 120 Pilgrims and that was  by a very small group and not a genuine English effort to colonize America.  Other efforts were primarily initial operations to determine the viability of establishing more substantial colonies.
It was on April 8, 1630 that the haphazard sporadic attempts to form communities in America was replaced by a serious effort at colonizing America beginning with the Winthrop Fleet. Eleven ships set sail carrying over 800 English colonists led by John Winthrop, to settle as the Massachusetts Bay Colony; beginning the first great wave of immigration from England and the widespread settlement of America.  
By the autumn of 1630 they had founded the settlements of Boston, Cambridge, Roxbury, Dorchester, Watertown, Medford, and Charlestown.  Over the next ten years to 1640 there was a flood of tens of thousands of Puritan immigrants to the new colonies. General immigration to America and the rise of Britain and America to dominance began in 1630. 
The Jewish State- A peace treaty between Egypt and the Jewish state was signed on ‎26 March 1979, and became effective ‎January 1980.  Then the Jewish state came under US guarantee’s a few months later meaning that the  forty years ended in late 2020 completing the 40 years protection of Judea, and the tribulation would have to begin sometime between late 2020 and before another Biblical year is completed in spring 2021.
 Where would we be without these official know-it-alls of the church?
Israel: Britain [Ephraim] and America [Manasseh]- In 1630 the Atlantic seaboard of America was opened up to general immigration beginning a massive wave of immigration and the rise of America and Britain over the next 390 years up until late 2020, when God will withdraw his blessings and allow us to fall because of our wickedness.

The Jewish State- A peace treaty between Egypt and the Jewish state was signed on ‎26 March 1979, and became effective ‎January 1980. Then the Jewish state came under US guarantee’s a few months later meaning that the forty years ended in late 2020 completing the 40 years protection of Judea, and the tribulation would have to begin sometime between late 2020 and before another Biblical year is completed in spring 2021.
Malm then goes on  to make more predictions and as usual covers his royal zealot butt by :


Please note that while the Daniel’s 2,300 Day Prophecy and the two Ezekiel 4 prophecies provide a very strong indication that the final 42 month tribulation will begin this coming winter, which is between November 2020 and March 2021 nevertheless I intend to exercise caution and I will not declare anything firm until I see the miracle worker set up in the Vatican; Still they do not provide the exact day and hour of Christ’s personal coming.  
It is true that the Kingdom of God will start with the outpouring of God’s Spirit on all flesh on a Feast of Pentecost, but Christ could come with God’s resurrected faithful, days before that to put down all evil and then wait until Pentecost to pour out God’s Spirit. Therefore the precise day and hour of Christ’s coming will not be known until it happens.
Great will be the day when these false prophets and certified liars of the Church of God cease to exist and brethren can no longer be conned by their devilish words.

  1. James Malm is upset that stubborn people reject God's Sabbath commandment and refuse to accept that God never established Sunday worship. Malm thinks it is a sign of Satanic influence that people stubbornly disobey God and try to worship Him on Sunday.

    Malm doesn't see that God also never said anyone would know the time of Christ's return. By trying to deny God's word, and trying to be smarter than God, Malm is just as disobedient as any Sunday-keeper.

  3. "Malm is just as disobedient as any Sunday-keeper."

    So...how is a sunday keeper disobedient? Disobedient to what?

  4. The fact is that Malm is just as disobedient as every single sabbath keeper out there. Malm is not without sin and daily breaks the very laws he claims to be so zealous about.

  6. "We are told in Revelation five that after his resurrection Jesus Christ the Lamb of God was found worthy and was allowed to unseal and open the books."

    David Koresh is the Lamb who is supposed to open the seals. He said so and he is the only Apocalyptic Millerite who has had a fulfilled prophecy (although he fudged a little). You have to wait until Koresh is resurrected. These other Apocalyptic Millerites, including the Armstrongist branch, should pay Koresh due respect. They are ham-and-eggers compared to Koresh. Otherwise, prepare for another 1844 redux.

  7. I believe Christ will return within 20 years. And if anyone dies from illness, accident, old age etc, Christ has effectively returned for that person.
    So be good and say your prayers folks.

  8. Malm seems to be complicating the whole narrative to create the aura that he is the fix for the complication that he created.

    In reference to Matt.24:36 he said: "The very first thing to notice is that this quote has absolutely nothing to do with the tribulation and refers specifically to the coming of Christ. Jesus does not say that no one can know when the tribulation will begin; he does say that no one at that time knew the day that he would return to rule the earth".

    The quote of Matt. 24:36 has plenty to do with the Tribulation because verse 29 introduces that IMMEDIATELY after the tribulation shall the sign and coming of the Son of man be. Jesus Christ revealed the start of the Tribulation as the sight of the abomination of desolation in verse 15.

    The next confusing statements from Malm are: "The second point is that he did not say that no one will ever know, he said that no one knew at that specific time. Remember that he was still in the flesh, he had not yet died and been resurrected. We are told in Revelation five that after his resurrection Jesus Christ the Lamb of God was found worthy and was allowed to unseal and open the books". And "Therefore no man could understand the latter day prophets until God revealed them to to Jesus Christ who would then reveal them to God’s true servants when there was a real need to know".

    So the only thing I can deduce from this is that Jesus Christ having walked the earth quoting Old Testament prophet after Old Testament prophet had absolutely no understanding whatsoever of what the prophets said until sometime after his resurrection.

    Malm then goes on to limit God and Jesus Christ even further when he says this: "What is so very sad is that most of today’s Spiritual Ekklesia rejects the expansion of knowledge and understanding that God has promised to reveal in this end time".

    I didn't know expansion of knowledge and understanding was limited only to a person or entity in the last days; I guess I can cut out Acts 2:17-18 out of my bible.

    Then Malm takes the great liberty to redefine the specifics of Daniel 8 when he wrote: "The Fourth Answer is that Daniel was told by the angel Gabriel in the 2300 Day prophecy of Daniel 8 that Messiah would come to cleanse the temple mount and build the Ezekiel temple 2,300 years after the empire of Alexander was divided into four parts".

    I don't read anything about a temple mount being cleansed. I do read about a sanctuary being cleansed and about a daily sacrifice and the place of "his sanctuary" which indicates an already present temple.

    Would anything else be correct after he has so openly skirted over scripture to confirm his own narrative.

  9. Then there's basic reality testing. It took several years for Hitler's Germany to re arm after his party came to power. Using history as a guide, I doubt that the events leading up to the tribulation will happen over night, or within a year as some people like Malm claim.

  10. Who gives a damn about Malm?

    Actually the best post here about any of these fools would start something like this:

    Then a large blank area, then half way down in large letters:



    Who really gives a shit!

  13. The Chinese are frantically building up their military, especially their navy and air force. So it doesn't make sense for the tribulation to begin before their buildup is complete, or close to it.
