Crackpot Prophet On The Closing Act For His Short Work

 


Oh, we've all marveled countless times at the sheer lunacy spewing from Crackpot Bob and his devoted little minions. The theological absurdities they churn out are nothing short of breathtaking—truly astounding in their brilliance!

But hey, what else could we possibly expect? After all, the Great Bwana Bob is such a towering figure in Church of God history that he was personally involved in the original creation planning session, right there with the Holy Trinity as they meticulously mapped out humanity's salvation process exactly 5,987 years ago. The Trinity, in Their infinite wisdom, foresaw a massive apostasy coming and specifically engineered Bob to emerge in these perilous end times as the ultimate warning beacon for the church and the world.

Little did the Holy Trinity know that a whopping 99.98% of the Church of God would stubbornly refuse to follow their divinely appointed savior. Alas, that flawless salvation process is now permanently shattered, forcing Jesus to make His grand return... to Wadsworth, Ohio, of all places. But that's a saga for another day.

The inimitable Great Bwana Bob is merely here to complete his "short work," and once that's wrapped up—brace yourselves—holy hell is going to erupt across the world like never before. How blessed we are to live in such enlightened times!

We in the CCOG have been preparing for that short work, which is why we have our gospel booklet in numerous languages online. We prepare for it and God will finish it. 
 
Notice that a short work/word/matter (matter is also in the LSV) will be cut off and proceed a time of destruction. The message of God’s word will go forth, and this will happen–Gentiles and Israelites are to be reached. 
 
An important part of the short work relates to the fulfillment of Matthew 24:14, which, in a sense, is cut short as it triggers the end coming:

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14) 
 
The incomparable Crackpot Bob even dares to claim that Herbert W. Armstrong himself prophetically foretold his glorious "short work"—as if the late HWA wouldn't have personally booted Crackpot Bob's rebellious, narcissistic behind straight to the curb decades ago for his insolent and utterly narcissistic behavior.

How touching that Bob imagines himself as the fulfillment of prophecy! Truly, the humility on display is mind-boggling.

While we were not in the very end time then, we are much closer to it now. In a letter dated October 18, 1983 he wrote that he realized that the ‘short work’ was for the future:

I feel God will move swiftly soon to make a short work preparatory to Christ’s coming.

The short work most definitely involves preparation now. This is part of why more materials, literature, articles, books, booklets, and websites are being developed and/or added to.

Here is what was in Herbert W. Armstrong’s last letter:

The greatest work lies ahead … Never before in the history of the Church has it been possible to reap so great a harvest. It has only been made possible through modern technology, beginning with the printing press, radio, television … Each of you must commit yourself to support God’s Work…God’s work must push ahead as never before. God is opening up new doors in television (Letter, 1/10/86).

Presuming he was correct that the greatest work lies ahead, that is consistent that more needed to happen to fulfill Matthew 24:14. New doors, like internet television have been opened during the 21st century. And we in CCOG do use various forms of radio.

Oh, so? There's absolutely nothing special about that in the grand scheme of a Church of God splinter group. Big whoop!

But does that humble realization slow down the magnificent Great Bwana Bob? Of course not! He bravely presses on to proclaim just how utterly superfantabulous his sermons truly are. No other COG group can even dream of comparing when it comes to the awe-inspiring, mind-bogglingly profound words that majestically emanate from the sacred mouths of the Great Bwana Bob and his loyal little minions.

Truly, we are witnessing verbal miracles of biblical proportion—how blessed we are to bask in such unparalleled eloquence!

One of the reasons that our sermons in the CCOG are more scriptural, historically, and prophetically-focused than other churches is to help train you so that God may use YOU to instruct many (Daniel 11:33) and be a witness (Matthew 24:14). 
 
But there will be persecution. Others are NOT being trained like this–other churches do not focus on preparing their congregants to instruct many–at least none that I know of. 
 
Notice that the LOVE OF MANY WILL GROW COLD. They will not care enough about sacrificing and going through the open door (Acts 14:27; Revelation 3:7-8). 
 
Most will not realize that the end cannot come–and Matthew 24:14 fulfilled–until more of the fullness of the Gentiles have come in:

25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. (Romans 11:25) 

This is how he justifies his African followers: 

The Gentiles who God will call in this age MUST come in, hence planting the seeds for that is part of the short work!

He then continued with this:

The Apostle Paul also wrote:

14 … Judeans, 15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, 16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16) 
 
Many today, instead of forbidding it like the Jews, downplay and/or ridicule reaching Gentiles in places like Africa. But, they do not seem to understand that the Bible teaches that WE MUST INSTRUCT MANY INCLUDING GENTILES! 
 
Are YOU one supporting the preparation of the final phase of the work and the short work? 

Shame on you, you rebellious Laodiceans! How dare you not support Bwana Bob's amazing work!

 
Most Christians will NOT. Most Christians prophesied to NOT be Philadelphians in the end before the start of the Great Tribulation. Most Christians still not have the same zeal or love of the truth and proclaiming it that they should–although the Book of Hebrews teaches:

1 Let brotherly love (Philadelphia) continue (Hebrews 13:1). 
 
Jesus noted that there were Laodiceans after the Philadelphians who could not see their problems and had the wrong work (Revelation 3:14-18). 
 
Notice also that Matthew 24:14 ties the successful proclamation with the coming of the end. There is a certain shortness in passages of Matthew 24:14-21.

He closes his screed with a sermon by one of his minions about The Closing Act of Bwana Bob

Our Closing Act – the Short Work and You
What about the short work of Romans 9:28? What needs to happen before it is time to flee? Won’t having the gospel of the kingdom in 2000 languages be a factor in Matthew 24:14? What about John Ogywn and the final phase of the work? Some aspects of the work need to be done before the famine of the word of Amos 8:11-12. Louis Rubin proposes some ideas on how others can help support the work. He also goes over some steps that some in the Continuing Church of God are doing. What is unique about the Philadelphian church? What about the mantle and the need to form the CCOG? Is the work to continue until the return of Jesus the Christ? Will God cut short the work?

You have to admire his dedication and persistence. If nothing else.

More than twenty years ago, John Ogwyn was already warning Rod Meredith as well as concerned brethren that Bob Thiel was an unstable fellow with an outsized ego and capacity for self-delusion, and should be handled with kid gloves and utmost care. After the Brookfield massacre, he privately expressed concerns that Bob might snap like Terry Ratzmann if his ego suffered too great a blow. Fortunately, Ogwyn was wrong about that.

Perseveration: Uncontrollable repetition of a particular response, such as a word, phrase, or gesture, despite the absence or cessation of a stimulus, usually caused by a brain injury or other organic disorder.

I do not believe that dedication or persistance have anything to do with what we see unfolding in the lives of Bob, Dave, Sam, Ron, Gerald, or even the ministry and members of the larger UCG, LCG, and COGaWA splinter cults. At this point, it is an uncontrollable pathology running its course.

Well I just have to say Bobs short work is Failing and his Fullness of the Gentiles aren't coming in to the CCOG; in truth they're being repelled as Radson and Evans Conn games and dark Magic isn't working as CCOG has nothing in Malawi-and Mozambique. Radson is scared as he can't produce the hundreds or so called thousands of members that Bob brags are in CCOG. The Jig is Up as Radson's and Evans reputation has finally destroyed them and Bob is left with Nothing but Witchdoctor sand dances and 🐂 stories. Bob it's sad you can't discern truth from Fairy tales. Our mutual person we know in Canada was contacted by so called Wahela as you were led to believe , when it was in fact Radson all along. Can't you figure it out. Your the Prophet I'm not. Just believe and you'll feel better..😉😂

No, thank you.

In a letter dated October 18, 1983 he wrote that he realized that the ‘short work’ was for the future:

Whatever Armstrong wrote about a short work would have been done with his own system and personal gain in mind.
Not a God given prophecy beyond.
Armstrong write of going to Petra between the date above and before he died.
The short work he had in mind fizzled out just like his long work.
It was and is a self created work and gospel.

GRF thought he and the PCG would do a short work too. It's been 36 years since the start of the PCG, and here we are....

Incidentally, there is an existence of "A Short Work" at this time with that very title. So many small works think their work is the short one, but whether it is a short work, or a long work, what means it? Each of these works think they/it is the "important one" that God is personally dealing with by the power of God's Spirit (Zech 4:6), but they all can't be true...whatever that is.

A better title worth pondering might be: "A Good Work".

Why?

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:" Phil 1:6

That has to exist someplace, but where? Paul was confident that God not only would begin "a good work," but would also "perform," or complete, or finish that work. But that would make one the workmanship of God's hands, wouldn't it?

Who is the real Worker there? Self, or Jesus' God, Jesus' Father?

We've been told Jesus would not be working with anyone that His Father has not called, or actually drawn (John 6:44, 65), first. And the word "draw" mans "drag."

And who really wants to be dragged?

Certainly, not any of those hirelings who fled from the former WCG/Pasadena organization, leaving their ministerial credentials behind...and that includes GRF, and perhaps anyone else you may want to name, but...

Time will tell...

How do you know they left their credentials behind? Because John (time will tell) says so, or did the Holy Spirit tell you this?
Please enlighten us?

It has been 2000 years since the "short work" was mentioned in the Bible.

Pepe Escobar predicts the collapse of the EU over the next few years. What will that do to Bob's prophecy. It does not sound good. Watch it on Judging Freedom.

A very long wait for a "short work." Does that mean we shouldn't be working now?

Anon, aren't the credentialed ministers supposed to serve the need of some local congregation?

I have a copy of a 19 October 1970 Worldwide Church of God World Headquarters, Pasadena, California, Certificate of Ordination of someone I had known, and after mentioning the individual's name, it says: "... (name withheld) has been chosen according to the will of God to become an Elder in the Worldwide Church of God; that he is qualified in character, education and experience; that he meets the Scriptural qualifications;..." etc.

Now, based upon that paper one receives on the day of ordination making one an Elder of the WCG, what happens when one abandons that WCG organization?

They no longer serve the needs of any WCG organization. Why should those credentials be maintained by that hireling that fled that former WCG organization?

The hireling is left to serve SELF, but go out and set up another organization? Or, join another organization?

Again, what did Jesus say about hirelings?

John 10:11 "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine."

How much care would the hireling(s) have for anyone they left behind?

They "took their ball and bat," and went elsewhere. A fleeing hireling is no longer "an Elder in the Worldwide Church of God," that they fled from...no matter whatever else they continue doing.

How could a Dave Pack, G Flurry, Doug Winnail, Weston, Coulter (choose another name of some hireling of the former WCG) want to treasure their Certificate of Ordination as an "Elder in the Worldwide Church of God?" They fled from that pasture. What use is that Certificate to them or to anyone else?

Even thinking that any hireling who fled from the former WCG was really "chosen according to the will of God to become an Elder in the Worldwide Church of God?"

That makes no sense. By their fruit we know them, and time tells.

Doesn't any of this make sense to you?

Time will tell...
