Never in the history of the Church of God have we had such wishy-washy prophets in our midst. In between all the hand flouncing, pulpit pounding, and jig dancing, not a single one of them has the testicular fortitude to actually make a definitive prophetic statement while resting assured that their god would do what they say it will. Instead, we get a lot of "could it be", "might be's", and a lot of "what if's". When one looks at prophets of old in scriptures, when they made a propehcy you had better be damned sure you listened or your could kiss your ass good-bye. Not so with today's self-appointed pretenders. Not a single one of them, from Bob Thiel to Ron Weinland has ever made a prophecy that actually passed, or will ever pass at some point in the future.
That doesn't stop them though.
We now have Dave Pack predicting his creature he calls "christ" will be here right after the Feast of Tabernacles this year. The eminent return of his creature always keeps getting bumped up to some future date.
Gerald Flurry says his creature called "christ" is returning within a matter of months. In the meantime, he sends his grandkids off to dance the dance of David while spending hundreds of thousands of dollars promoting his Jesus-stone. Flurry's creature still cannot figure out when it is supposed to return.
Ron Weinland's creature has been delayed since 2008 and is still waiting for Ron to tell him when to return.
And then there is the Great Bwana to Africa and 299 Caucasians. Being self-appointed apparently does not bring any wisdom along with it. The Bwana has to be one of the most wishy-washy namby-pamby prophets we have ever had. All we get out of him is a lot of "could be's", "maybe's" and "what if's." Even his creature he calls "christ" is so confused that even it doesn't know when to return.
In COGland the return of Jesus is almost like he is waiting by the Power Ball machine for his number to pop up.
The Bwana is back with his own predictions after first mocking those that have failed. For some reason, he never lists his epic failures. Instead, he covers his lily-white butt by making broad statements hoping that somehow his dart will hit the board, which it never does.
Great Tribulation: 2026 or 2027?
Many have falsely claimed that the Great Tribulation either was in the first century A.D. or would come in many different years prior to now. Could the Great Tribulation occur next year or not? What is the earliest year that the Great Tribulation could come? Why is 2022-2024 impossible? Why does 2025 seem unlikely? What are the possible reasons for 2026 or 2027? What about confirmation of the peace deal by a prince in Daniel 9:27? What about the emergence of European King of the North and a Middle Eastern/North African King of the South? What about animal sacrifices, the red heifer, and the Temple Institute? How might the date of Jesus’ execution and resurrection be involved? Might there be a six/seven thousand year plan? How could that tie to the words of Peter and those in the Book of Hebrews regarding the last days? Who is the Beast of the sea, the King of the North? Could the final Antichrist be a type of antipope who falsely claims Roman Catholicism? What about pestilences, the ride of the fourth horseman of Apocalypse, and the opening of the fifth seal of the Book of Revelation. Dr. Thiel covers these and other matters and gives rationale, why, if the signs that Jesus referred to are seen before then, that 2026 or 2027 could be the start of the devastating Great Tribulation. He also quotes the late Herbert W. Armstrong about it starting with a nuclear attack against the UK, USA, and/or Canada. Dr. Thiel quotes Jesus’ promise of protection for Philadelphian Christians. He also summarizes several important signs to watch for, consistent with Jesus’ words in Mark 13.

Bob…sorry Dr Bob Thiel, thou claims to know the future,no?
Let’s make a deal. Give me this weeks Lotto numbers and I will give 10% back to thee.
Win win for all.
Give me the following weeks numbers and you get 20%.
Give me three weeks numbers and I’ll buy you a beer, non alcoholic if need be.
Then we mere peasants will know a ‘prophet’ has being among us.
Or someone extremely luckily,lol.
Poor Bob, his best game is predicting when things won't happen.
He puts a 'show' bet on favorites for every race in town, crows when one of them comes in, and ignores the losers. For races he didn't bet on, he explains why the winner won.
We know that Bob doesn't receive direct revelation, but "interprets the news in light of Bible (and non-biblical) prophecy". He and others had dreams, which were interpreted to confirm things he already knew or at least suspected, or "confirmed" something he planned to do.
My example of betting on races was an analogy, Bob won't make predictions on real gambling, and you won't find Biblical prophets who did that. Just be content with his assurances of what won't be happening soon, and why things he didn't predict happened!
And here, all this time, I thought it was 298 Caucasians!
The GREAT tribulation was in Judea, in the first century. A false claim, sez Bob, who sez the great tribulation coming will be devastating and kill millions. Where's the love?
Ron Dart said years ago that someone somewhere would eventually set the date correct. But that wasn't the be all and end all. It wasn't the point to understand God. Does Bob understand that ? Does this blog understand?
Mr. Bob Thiel should not set dates for Christ coming because the plain truth is we don't know when Christ will come not even Christ or the angels do only God the Father knows when.
He also reposted some garbage about the Colosseum being owned by the Vatican (the Vatican does not) and a statue of Moloch being erected nearby (actually part of a Carthage exhibit).
We don't know what day or time our Lord Jesus Christ will come if we don't know the day, but just make up a false day pretending we know when we don't know it and making people believe It, that would be deceitful and a liar and any prophecy that doesn't come true it would make the so-called prophet a false prophet and, in fact, if any prediction “does not happen or does not come to pass”, it proves that the individual is not the prophet of God. However, I still agree with most of Mr. David C. Pack's teachings, such as those in his books and booklets.
Well, since you wanted to bring up "Mr. David C. Pack" on a post that isn't about him, its obvious that you aren't actually concerned about deceitful, lying "prophets".
I haven't seen a single COG minister who discerned that 2001 was the attack of the King Of The South, and the Arab Spring was the retaliation of the King Of The North.
Ho hum.
When did Gerald Flurry say that Christ was returning in a matter of months? Source please?
