Don't you just love COG self-appointed prophets? These are the blustering do-nothing little men that stick their chests out and beat them regularly so that all will listen to them. Not a single one of them was ever appointed by god to deliver any message that has any relevance whatsoever, so all we hear is the mental shenanigans of deluded minds seeking to be relevant.
Real prophets of God spoke with authority and never pussyfooted around with what they had to say. There was never any "could it be's?", "maybe's?", "most likely's?", "what if's?", "will it's?", and other ways of presenting their "sure facts" as questions. Never has the church had such blustering impotent little man/boy prophets in its midst than what we see today.
As regular readers of this page are aware, I have repeatedly warned of weather problems coming. Back in 2009, in my book, 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect, I wrote that the following was about to happen:
Odd weather patterns result in food shortages and natural disasters. Matthew 24:7
The world is actually in a berserk transition, as the real age of peace is not yet here. It may be a period of chaos. It is the beginning of sorrows. Matthew 24:8
Since that was published, we have had record smashing heat, unprecedented fires, and odd weather problems. These weather issues should serve as a wake-up call.
The above was “predicted” if you will, because of what Jesus taught:
7 … And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:7-8).8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)
The Bible shows that God uses weather to get people’s attention. Sometimes to punish, sometimes to lead to repentance, and other times to consider that God, not humankind, is in control.
The Amos in our midst then says:
While the above is for a future time, in a sense, it parallels what we are seeing today. Lack of repentance from sexual immorality and other sins is a factor in what the secularists tend to call climate change–but they do not see the connection. Any who claim to believe the Bible should.
The Bible shows that weather problems can be a warning to people that society is going in the wrong direction (Amos 4:7-12). Notice also God’s use of fire between three thousand and four thousand years ago:
24 Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. (Genesis 19:24-25)
And why did it happen?
7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (Jude 7)
Why mention this in the 21st century? Because God turned:
6…the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an exampleto those who afterward would live ungodly (2 Peter 2:6)
Notice also the following:
11 “I overthrew some of you,As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,And you were like a firebrand plucked from the burning;Yet you have not returned to Me,”Says the Lord.12 “Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel;Because I will do this to you,Prepare to meet your God, O Israel!” (Amos 4:11-12)
Fires should get people to consider. But will people in the USA or the other Anglo-descended areas heed?
The sorrows and troubles are just beginning and will get much worse.
Like all good so-called Bible scholars in the Church of God today, Amos Elijah Thiel never goes on to tell the rest of the story. About Lot offering his two daughters to be raped by the men of Sodom, or how these horny girls went on to commit incest with Daddy.
What Amos Elijah Thiel does not mention is what Ezekial said about Sodom which pretty much sums up the state of affairs in the current COG movement today:
Only this was the sin of your sister Sodom: arrogance! She and her daughters had plenty of bread and untroubled tranquility; yet she did not support the poor and the needy. (Ezekiel 16:49)
Never has the church been filled with such arrogant men like what we have currently leading so many COG's. Arrogant, narcissistic, proud, boastful, and blustering men who ignore the poor, the elderly, the homeless, the orphans, the mentally ill, the sick, the needy in their groups and the world that surrounds them today.
If the so-called doubly-blessed prophet really knew his Bible, which he doesn't, he would know that many times people suffered because of the religious idiots ruling over them. Jesus clearing warned those false religious morons about what was going to happen to them if they continued to deceive people and yet they never stopped, just like today's crop of COG leaders are doing.
It is time people stopped listening to these fools currently leading various COG's. Each and every one of them are certified false prophets. They are all liars and hypocrites.
My dog could say the exact same things as Bobby
ReplyDeleteIf Bob's reasoning is that California gets hit by natural disasters because of LGBTQ, why don't other parts of the world get the same treatment? There are more LGBTQ in NYC than LA. There are huge GP Parades in Tel Aviv and Sydney. What's the sin vs disaster rationale here?
ReplyDeleteWhat's the sin in Haiti? Voodoo? Or is the problem being caught between two tectonic plates?
My dog could say the exact same things as Bobby
ReplyDeleteMy dog could POOP better prophecy than Bitter Bwana Bob!
Some of Bob's linking scriptures to his perception of current and projected world events seem little different than what I heard from GTA in the 1960s. The difference is HWA praised his ability to do this, GTA never (to my knowledge) ever claimed to be a prophet.
ReplyDeleteFor myself, any gripe I have with Bob is not so much about prophecy, or whether he wants to be called a prophet, but with his mishandling of scripture.
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, etc etc were not prophets....they did not personally come up with any prophecies. They were merely messengers of the Lord who delivered the prophecies....they were just waterboys of the Source.

DeleteTrue bible prophets were always those who passed on God's messages.
Bob and others are making stuff up, and guessing. That's OK, but they shouldn't lie by claiming their messages are from God.
claiming their messages are from God
ReplyDeleteActually, Bob seems to tactfully avoid this, with the possible exception of dreams. His claim is more like "inspired understanding of scripture". And this is where I'd insert perhaps, maybe, sometimes,... as he's made some Biblical blunders.
