Every day in COGland you wake up imagining that they cannot get any crazier and then one of them opens their mouth and says something more ludicrous than the last time.
This time it involves the Ark of the Covenant.
First, we had Stan Rader and Robert Kuhn claiming they wrote the original storyline that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg supposedly stole to make Raiders of the Lost Ark. SUIT ON 'ARK' CHARGES STEALING FROM A NOVEL
Then, several years ago the great prophet of Edmond, Gerald Flurry, went off to Ireland traipsing the green hills looking for the location of the Ark of the Covenant. He thought it was buried in Hill Tara centuries ago by Jeremiah and his daughters. This is also why he bought property in England to give him quick access when it came time to dig up the hill before Christ comes to sit upon Herbert's prayer rock to be crowned King of Kings as he lifts the original stone 10 Commandments out of the Ark and makes them the law once again.
This really popped the cork for the Great Bwana to Africa and the occasional 100 Caucasians. The Great Bwana has had to play second fiddle to every COG splinter group leader out there today and this was just one more insult added to the already growing list. The Great Bwana deserves to find this!
So...
Our most highly esteemed and God-appointed before the foundations of the world were ever whirled into existence, is back regaling us with more ludicrous comments about prophecy and the significance of the improperly named "continuing" Church of "god" in world and church history. He wants us to know that one of his crazy church members dreamed about this so it HAS to be true.
While Solomon wanted it to be in the temple he built to house the ark forever, God had David write Zion was the chosen location. If the ark of the covenant is found and now is below the Church of God on Jerusalem’s Western Hill, known as Mt. Zion or perhaps another area called Zion, that would have ramifications for the world as well as the Continuing Church of God.
Fesilafai Fiso Leaana of New Zealand had a dream after going to bed on December 8, 2012. Here is a report that Fesilafai Fiso Leaana wrote about her dream:
A few months before my dream, my husband and I noticed a contradiction in practice, regarding the sabbath commandment in LCG, from there we started to pray continuously for God to lead us to where the truth is. It seems God has answered our prayers through the dream.
The dream began with myself and approximately 70 New Zealand Living Church of God brethren, then suddenly LCG vanished (I was wondering where is LCG?) and I was left standing with approximately 10 people excluding myself, on a very high building. We were standing on the very top of the building, where I couldn’t see the bottom, there were no other buildings, just this building. I could not see the bottom of the building but just clouds below the building and clouds surrounding the building which led to a beautiful white mountain – a mountain that had no ends on either side. The building was pretty close to the mountain, I could see the top of the mountain. The mountain was all white and so beautiful. I remember that I began to be filled with joy and peace. But also wondering how we got up on this building and confused why there were no other buildings but the clouds seemed like it was hiding the building and I felt protected or it felt like a safe place. I looked around there were still only about ten people there, the only person I could clearly recognize was Shirley constantly working, the approximate ten others were just sitting and standing around. So I walked around the building looking for the large crowd from LCG, but all I kept returning to was that Shirley was working and doing different types of work alone while the others were still sitting and standing around the building with me. I wondered why she was working a lot. I could not find LCG.
Then suddenly a message came to my mind: “There is a secret in the mountain”. And I was so happy to know that, I was still feeling elated and could still see the beautiful white mountain and wondered about the secret. Then I asked: “What is the secret?” Then the message said, nobody knows the secret in the mountain but only you have received this message that there is a secret in the mountain. Then I asked ‘what is the secret in the mountain?’ I received a message to my mind that told me that “the secret in the mountain is the Ark of the Covenant”. Then the dream abruptly ended because I woke up. And immediately, I woke up my husband and recounted the dream to him, and I told my husband that it reminded me of when God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on the mountain and that the mountain was also covered with clouds.
Within several weeks of the dream, ten people in New Zealand, including Shirley Gestro (the Shirley above) began to attend the newly formed Continuing Church of God.
Biblically, mountains can symbolize government (Psalm 30:7; Isaiah 11:9; Daniel 2:35; Zechariah 4:7) and white purity or cleanness (Isaiah 1:18; Revelation 7:14, 19:14). Clouds around a mountain (or at least the top of it) could show a separation—maybe a separation that keeps many from seeing all of the truth (cf. Job 22:14; Lamentations 3:44) or recognizing top leadership?
The dream seemed to be a signal to confirm that the Philadelphia mantle was not with the Living Church of God, but instead was associated with someone that had something to do with the ark of the covenant.
In the Spring and Fall of 2013 (which is before I learned of Fesilafai Fiso Leaana’s dream), a couple of different people emailed me and asked if the Continuing Church of God might possibly be involved in actually finding the Ark–and those two people knew nothing about the dream that Fesilafai Fiso Leaana of New Zealand had related to the Continuing Church of God when they originally asked me about it as it was not reported publicly until November 2013. We may have future involvement on this ark matter.
Anyway, it remains my view that there is a chance that we will see the Ark or we will see a strong claim that someone has located the Ark within the next decade or so.
The last time the Germans tried this...
The AOTC, if it even exist today, is a relic of a Covenant that was replaced in 33 AD. There's an Ark in heaven, but it's the Ark of the New Covenant. The ACOG's should stop obsessing about the dead covenant; and turn to the Covenant that gives them eternal life.
ReplyDeleteThe idea appeals because whoever finds the ark must surely be chosen for top honors in the Wooorrrllddd Tommoorrow!!
DeleteStan and Kuhn thought they were on a winner no doubt when they lodged the law suit alleging stolen ideas. Does anyone know of the outcome?
ReplyDeleteNevertheless the ever astute Stan was certainly a winner all the same when it came to professional legal and accounting dealings with the OTC , and advertising and other ventures one may read about. Not to mention his quarter of a million hand out which in todays currency is the equal of some $860,000 USD. (OTC= One True Church).
Ramblings from the vanity church again.
ReplyDelete"Also, to abet your desires to be a “great one” in the Work, you have carefully and cleverly twisted and enlarged upon many things people have mentioned to you."
ReplyDeleteThere is an impressive set of Ethiopian traditions surrounding the Ark. Wouldn't it just be a gas if people of color had taken custody of it rather than the Irish or the Anglo Saxon gentiles?
ReplyDeleteAbout twenty years ago, I'd read an account of it actually having been found in a cave, but the wood inder the gold had collapsed due to antiquity. One thing is certain. It is just as elusive as the other Ark. Where are those darned Knights of Templar anyway???
Yeah, theres the old Ethiopic tradition, also the Lemba. Its not necessarily as "out there" as it sounds, as its obvious Jerusalem had contacts with Ethiopia as far back as at least the time of Jeremiah, as well as the genetic ancestry of the Lemba.
DeleteBut yes, it would be at its core a wooden box. The chances of its survival intact to the modern day are debatable.
So these ACOG twits want the Ark found just prior to the destructive tribulation in the hope that it will boost their splinter membership. The real solution is morally cleaning up their churches rather than callously throwing the Ark under the bus,
ReplyDeleteAt least one COG is spiritualizing this matter now, saying "Jesus is the Ark."
ReplyDeleteBut a priest on EWTN's Morning Mass several months ago declared "Mary is the Ark."
So is everyone looking in the wrong direction?
Having either one of them be analogous isn't a new concept. The Ark carried the Ten Commandments, Mary carried their fulfillment. Or Jesus carrying them to fulfill them to the end, whichever analogy you like. (Some people get off on that sort of thing. Bob would if he weren't so determined to be both of the Two Witnesses.)
DeleteThere's a YouTube video of how they made that melting face in the 'Raiders of the lost ark' movie. They made the face from special materials, then placed a hot air blower towards the face. They sped this segment up to make it look life like.
ReplyDeleteROTFL!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
