This was too accurate to leave isolated in the comments:
The LCG article (Living Church of God Still In Fear Of Germany) fails to mention the other multiple countries participating in the Australian hosted air force exercise called "Pitch Black" or that Germany isn't the only country participating for the first time. Japan and the Republic of Korea are also first time participants. Here is a quote taken from the below mentioned website...
"The exercise will host up to 2500 personnel and up to 100 aircraft from around the globe including participants from Australia, France, Germany, Indonesia, India, Singapore, Japan, Republic of Korea, UK, the Philippines, Thailand, UAE, Canada, Netherlands, Malaysia, New Zealand and the US. Significantly, Germany, Japan, and the Republic of Korea will be participating fully for the first time." Source Exercise Pitch Black 2022
While Germany is a full participant in this exercise, they are simply one of several, and not even the lead or host country, nor are they the only European country participating.
Taking a snippet of information and isolating it from the rest of the story to put your own spin on it or assign your own meaning to it and calling that Biblical or prophetic is at best misleading and at worst outright dishonest. The COG movement has unfortunately engaged in this sort of behavior over and over again, with most if not all of these predictions or implied predictions coming to nothing. Every forest fire, drought, earthquake, hurricane, military movement, war, or exercise of political or military power has been imbued with Biblical and prophetic significance, and then cast aside and forgotten when the proposed scenario doesn't pan out, until the next story comes along.
To those who might be tempted to overlook or turn a blind eye to this behavior, or to defend or excuse it, I would simply ask, where in scripture is there ANY example of a true servant or prophet of God whose prophetic predictions followed this pattern? Where in scripture did God's true servants make what would essentially be considered prophetic guesses? For those who claim to elevate scripture above anything else, or value the moral precept of honesty, would it not be better to simply and humbly admit that we don't know all the details of how end time events will play out, because God hasn't revealed these things to us?
I would submit the idea that extreme caution should be exercised in assigning prophetic or Biblical significance to specific political personalities or specific countries just because they fit within our own ideas or theories of how end time events will play out. Many have fallen into this trap, and been proven wrong. The words of Jesus might also be applicable here, "But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12:36-37

Perceptive analysis! "Taking a snippet of information and isolating it from the rest of the story to put your own spin on it or assign your own meaning to it and calling that Biblical or prophetic is at best misleading and at worst outright dishonest." Herbie and company have been doing the same thing with Scripture for years - It's called proof texting!
Jesus Christ also said: "However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS." But that doesn't stop the ACOG's from guessing/speculating!
The prophets of scripture would have been struck down by God as being false prophets if those men did the things current COG leaders say and do. Today's prophets, leaders, and chief overseers, proof text scripture to fit their own needs, deliberately distort scripture to fit current events, or distort current events until they can find some scripture they think backs them up. All of these could be's, possiblies, and maybe's make a mockery of the prophets of old and the God they followed and spoke for.
I have a copy of “1975 in Prophecy” sitting on my desk. I grew up back in the Sixties reading the HWA nonsense that sadly has affected my entire life. Since HWA was so wrong my family left the WCG back in the Seventies.
Today we see the G7/Club of Rome making up the seven heads and ten horns of Rev 13. The Club of Rome has had the planet divided into ten zones since just after WWII.
The USA/NATO block is the military power of the King of the North, who is most likely Trump.
The BRICS nations are the Kings of the East, and are today clearly standing up to the King of the North in Ukraine….and soon to be Taiwan.
Iran is the King of the South and will soon be liquidated by the King of the North.
All of these events are leading to Armageddon.
You can read it all in Dan 11:40-44, Rev 13, and Rev 16:12-16.
I’ve been saying all of this since 2007 on live TV and radio.
HWA was, and continues to be a false prophet and cult leader…even from the grave.

If so, why did you post anonymously?
Not good if you are seeking an audience with a message.
That all said I heartily disagree with you on your prognosis for the future.
But where we can agree on is that HWA was no prophet, not even a bad one.
No prophecy has ever been fulfilled, except for fake ones like in Daniel which was written after the historical events took place. People can read all sorts of different things into them. They are like a horoscope. Too vague.

I could ask you the same question…sounds like you are new here…I used my true name here until the freaks and the uncircumcised losers made it not worthwhile.
I don’t seek an audience here on Banned but thanks for the concern.

So let me get this straight….you rely on horoscopes to show you the future vs scripture…..got it. No wonder you sound so confused about actual facts and reality.
"My God, My God. Why have You forsaken Me?" With everything in the New Testament having been written decades after the crucifixion, this verse may be the only true words recorded of one of many failed and crucified prophets in the first century. It is clear, Jesus and his apostles, and then Paul, expected a kingdom of God to appear in their own lifetimes. The Churches of God are just a mere continuation of a 2,000 year tradition to expect God's Kingdom on earth in one's own lifetime. More than 100 years before Jesus, a Jewish sect in Qumran had all the earmarks of the churches of God today. They had an HWA who restored true worship and doctrine and prophesied a king and a priest would restore Israel in 40 years. Don't hate the players, hate the game.
Israel President Isaac Herzog calls for closer relations between Germany and Israel......
Oh dear this just is not conforming with the mindset of the enlightened: PCg, UCg, CCog, CgI, RCg, ICg, etc.
