After having one of his simpering acolytes drone on about humility at the Feast—because nothing screams "humble" like a scripted sermon using Bwana Bob's own words—God's self-proclaimed greatest gift to the entire universe boldly declared that his books are so mind-blowingly essential that they'll be the go-to textbooks in the Kingdom of God to enlighten the clueless masses with "the truth." Oh, please, spare us the divine ego trip.
One thing's crystal clear about the god of Armstrongism: it has to be the most impotent figment of imagination ever concocted. Out of centuries of actual devout Christians and martyrs who, you know, suffered and died for their faith, not a single one is deemed worthy to ascend to godhood like the oh-so-special Armstrongites will. Nope, they won't even get a cameo in teaching duties in the kingdom— that's reserved exclusively for Church of God elites. Only the devoted disciples of Herbert Armstrong get that golden ticket. How utterly, profoundly stupid could we have been to swallow this steaming pile of nonsense?
Seriously, why do these Armstrongite leaders strut around like their words are pure gold, destined for eternal posterity? Who in their right mind—or any mind at all—in the kingdom of God would waste a single second flipping through gems like The Missing Dimension in Sex, The US and BC in Prophecy, Mystery of the Ages, Malachi's Message, or whatever drivel Bwana Bob spews from his pulpit or scribbles down? None of this garbage will have even a shred of relevance in the Kingdom—it's like bringing a flip phone to a quantum computer convention.
No one will bother cracking open The Gospel of the Kingdom of God when they're literally lounging in the presence of the gospel message incarnate. Who needs a dusty old book when you've got the real deal? Groundbreaking insight, right?
And, who on earth—or in heaven—needs an Armstrongite tome on salvation when everyone's already living it out in technicolor perfection? The sheer asshattery of it all is beyond appalling—it's a masterclass in delusion!
Not a single soul will give two hoots about 21st-century Islamic and Biblical prophecies once they're all ancient history, wrapped up and filed under "been there, done that." Shocking, I know.
And the absolute crowning turd in this punchbowl? There's not one single human who's ever breathed air, or ever will, who needs to clutter their brain with the "history" of the laughably misnamed Continuing Church of God! Hell, even today's Christians couldn't care less, except maybe to note how it's bloated with so many bald-faced lies and batshit claims that it has all the credibility of a flat-earth convention.
Anyway, picture this: your long-lost relatives, chilling by the waters of Babylon, picnicking in the Herbert W Armstrong Park in the New Jerusalem, or having a bite to eat at the Great Bwana Mall, will be there eagerly devouring these "masterpieces." Yeah, because that's exactly how eternity rolls—endless book club sessions on outdated cult fiction. What a paradise!
While we have many, the following look to be particularly applicable to the ‘instruct many’ prophecy related to predominantly Philadelphian Christians:
The Gospel of the Kingdom of God The Beast power will be promising a humanitarian utopia that he will not truly be able to deliver. Philadelphian Christians who understand the gospel of the kingdom will be able to better explain why God’s kingdom is the answer. This booklet is available in hundreds of languages.
The MYSTERY of GOD’s PLAN: Why Did God Create Anything? Why Did God Make You? This book answers some of the basic questions about the human life and what God’s purpose is.
Universal OFFER of Salvation, Apokatastasis: Can God save the lost in an age to come? Hundreds of scriptures reveal God’s plan of salvation Most in the world do not understand the plan a loving God truly has for humanity.
Continuing History of the Church of God This is a short overview of church history and shows that it was the Church of God in Asia Minor and Antioch that stood up against many of the early heretics and that the beliefs of the early Christians are best held by the Continuing Church of God.
Who Gave the World the Bible? The Canon: Why do we have the books we now do in the Bible? Is the Bible complete? The end time Beast power will feign support of a religion that will be considered as ‘catholic.’ Since the Church of Rome claims it gave the world the Bible, it says it alone has the right to interpret it. This book helps explain where the Bible came from, what the correct books are, what the best manuscripts are, and the fact that it was the Church of God who maintained the chain of custody of the books–not the Vatican or the other Greco-Roman faiths.
Islamic and Biblical Prophecies for the 21st Century There are reportedly over 2 billion Muslims. Can you possibly help instruct them about God’s plan for them?
Hope of Salvation: How the Continuing Church of God Differs from Protestantism The true Church of God is NOT Protestant. This book gives extensive details as to why that is so. Plus goes in depth to explain to Protestant and others that it is the Continuing Church of God, and not the Greco-Roman faiths, that best practices sola Scriptura.
Beliefs of the Original Catholic Church While the Roman and Eastern Orthodox Catholic churches believe they have the original faith and that is backed up by the writings of those they call the “early fathers,” the reality is that they have deviated from the Bible and early Christian leaders–most of which they call ‘saints’ on many serious and core doctrines. The information in this book is well expected to “instruct many” in the time of the end.
Now that does not mean our other books and booklets are not important to know–and they can also be referred to–and all are found at the following link: CCOG Free Books and Booklets.
Non-Philadelphians will not know enough to instruct many in this age. Oh yes, they will teach people during the millennium. But, the lack of knowledge of church history, development of heresies, and proper prophetic understanding will prevent most non-Philadelphians from fulfilling the “instruct many” prophecy in Daniel 11:32.
Because some of what people in the world will be interested in will be a bit historical, and to them unique, the listed books were written. These books are part of the CCOG preparation for the short work.
If YOU are willing to be used by God and will support the true Philadelphian remnant leader, God may well have YOU instruct many. Either directly, or at least, indirectly.
