Jesus Was Left Running The WCG All Alone And Had The Sads, So I had To Step Up And Help Him Get The Church Back On Track

The Worldwide Church of God, the one and only true Church of God has experienced a dispersion because of satanic forces infiltrating the congregations and the ecclesiastical work of the Church.

Since 1986, Satan and his demons have been attacking this Church, and through human agents influenced by these powerful spirits (called wolves by the the Word of God, 

or the beasts of the field), the Worldwide Church of God has been scattered!

Samuel Kitchen's latest missive is up amd it is a masterpiece of recycled COG mythology: Herbert W. Armstrong as Moses, every other Church of God group as Korah-Dathan-Abiram, the last four decades as Israel's desert wander, and 2026 as the moment the earth is supposed to open its mouth and swallow the competition so the "true" Worldwide Church of God can finally enter the promises. The problem is that the promises already left the building decades ago, sold the furniture, and rebranded.

The old Worldwide Church of God did not go into a noble wilderness. It went through a doctrinal implosion, a membership collapse, a name change, and a real-estate fire sale. Everything else is a constellation of splinters, each claiming to be the one faithful remnant, each collecting tithes, each announcing that this time the government of God has been correctly restored. Kitchen's version is simply the Iowa edition: an unincorporated "spiritual organism," a PO Box, AI-generated hymns, a Filipino pastor who has generously authorized him to receive "God's tithes,"

Now back to the Worldwide Church of God, after Mr Armstrong died, we see the flock scattered by the wolves.

Now the ministry vacated the Worldwide Church of God, and set up tents(organizations) surrounding the Worldwide Church of God, every man feeding in his tent. 

 

This left Jesus Christ alone responsible as HEAD OF THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD. 

 

The old WCG did not merely "keep the Sabbath." It packaged the Mosaic calendar, three tithes, clean-and-unclean meats, British-Israelism, and submission to "God's government through one man" as the identifying marks of the true church and, in practice, as conditions of remaining in good standing. That entire system was a 20th-century reconstruction of shadows.

Hebrews is blunt: the first covenant is obsolete and aging (Hebrews 8:13). The festivals, new moons, and Sabbaths were a shadow of things to come; the substance belongs to Christ (Colossians 2:16-17). Galatians calls the return to those regulations "weak and miserable principles" and asks the Galatians if they have lost their minds. Acts 15 already settled that Gentile believers were not to be placed under the yoke of the law. Romans 7 and 10 locate righteousness in Christ, not in law-keeping as a covenant obligation.

They left the Worldwide Church of God to the wolves. It reminds me of Joseph and his brothers story they gave to Israel of how Joseph was killed. Instead they sold him OUT to the Ishamelites.So they now have organizations of their own, outside of Christ! They sell and trade the membership of the Worldwide Church of God as merchants! Just look at their trademarks! 

 

They are keeping the membership from returning and coming together as one man, to do the work of God!

And that's the ministry to blame! They are required by God to eliminate any division! That means shutting down all these cog groups. But some believe they have authority to plant a church of their own liking. But this is reserved to Christ's apostle ONLY. They are merely husbandmen of the vineyard. 

 

A New Covenant Christian is not required to treat 1970s Pasadena policy memos as binding revelation. You do not need Herbert Armstrong's understanding of the holy days to know Christ. You do not need three tithes routed through a restored "Work" to be a cheerful giver. You do not need to decide which Iowa living room is currently the Philadelphia era. The law that actually governs the believer is the law of Christ, written on the heart, fulfilled in love of God and neighbor. Looking over the shoulder at the old WCG package is not faithfulness. It is nostalgia for a covenant that has been declared obsolete.

Deuteronomy 18 is not complicated. If a man speaks in the name of the Lord and the thing does not happen, the Lord has not sent him. The 40-year wilderness clock is a self-imposed prophecy. 2026 has arrived. The earth has not swallowed UCG, LCG, COGWA, PCG, or any of the other "synagogues of Satan." The two witnesses have not stepped into the offices of Moses and Aaron. The "Worldwide" church remains a handful of people on Zoom plus a man who flies to Pasadena, Canada, Italy, and Jerusalem to represent an organization that no longer exists in the form he describes.

Add the family lore: his father was "used as a prophet" to restart the Zerubbabel work; the son was baptized and had hands laid on him under that prophetic authority; he now functions as the remaining voice warning the other groups to repent and come home to Iowa. That is not the New Testament pattern of prophets tested by the church. That is a hereditary restoration franchise. HWA himself already failed multiple dated predictions (most famously the cluster around 1975). Building a new prophetic identity on top of that record does not make the foundation stronger. More importantly, Samule has had to justify why he bleives heis allowed to take tithe money to fund his littlle church.

A lot of buzz has been going around on my announcement of where tithes and offerings shall go. 

 

It belongs to the Worldwide Church of God. 

 

I am the sole authorized representative of the Worldwide Church of God.

Some people do not believe that. They do not believe that Mr Dicen was part of the Presbytery of God's Church. 

 

As God is my witness, after talking with him online, in phone calls, and video calls, and in letter, I found him part of the presbytery. He came to me while going through a severe trial. He felt God was moving him to establish me in the work I am to do, and to authorize me and to eventually ordain me into the ministry. 

 

I didn't seek him out. I didn't seek anyone out to ordain me or authorize me.

But he sent a letter ahead of the planned ordination, and subsequential meeting, saying that Jesus Christ was authorizing me to receive tithes and offerings. He made it clear it was not him authorizing me, but that he was merely a human tool for Christ. 

 

And so while I was preparing for flying out to the Philippines to be ordained, I received news from Mr Dicen, that he had been hired by another church group, and therefore since he was tied to that group, he could no longer be used in my ordination in the Worldwide Church of God. If I was to be ordained I would be ordained in THAT OTHER GROUP, and so he respectfully withdrew contact from me. 

 

Now some have thought everything was nullified by this action from Mr Dicen. They also have called into question whether he had such authority to give! 

 

But remember this....the authority was not the authority of Mr Dicen! It belongs to Jesus Christ! And I believe at the time Mr Dicen was part of the presbytery of the Church when Christ used him as a human instrument to instruct me and give authority to me.

Now there was no laying on of hands, from Mr Dicen. Before that occurred he left.

He announces that the money "belongs to the Worldwide Church of God" and that he is its "sole authorized representative." The entire chain of that authority runs through one man in the Philippines, Jonathan Dicen, another church hopping retrobate, who contacted him during a severe personal trial, felt God was moving him to "establish" Samuel, promised eventual ordination, and sent a letter declaring that Jesus Christ-not Dicen-was authorizing Samuel to receive tithes and offerings. Samuel insists he never sought this. Then, while he was preparing to fly to the Philippines to be ordained, Dicen accepted a job with another church group, withdrew, and made it clear that any ordination would now have to happen inside that other group. No laying on of hands ever occurred. The human instrument left. The letter remains.

Samuel's defense is that the authority was never Dicen's anyway. It was Christ's. Therefore the withdrawal changes nothing. At the moment the letter was written, Dicen was "part of the presbytery," and that is enough.

This is not how authorization works in any functioning church, ancient or modern. It is how a claim survives after the only person who was supposed to confer it walks away. A letter written by a man who then joined a competitor is now treated as an irrevocable act of Christ. The planned ordination evaporated, the "presbytery" connection lasted only as long as Dicen's trial and his subsequent job offer, and yet the collection authority is declared permanent. That is not apostolic succession. 

The New Covenant does not require anyone to send money to a man whose entire ministerial pipeline collapsed before the plane took off. Giving in the New Testament is cheerful, proportional, and directed toward actual needs and actual gospel work-not routed through a self-declared sole representative of a church that exists as an unincorporated spiritual organism headquartered in the conviction that a withdrawn letter still counts. Christ does not need a middleman whose sponsor immediately took a position with another group. The old WCG's three-tithe machinery and "the Work" apparatus died with the institution that created them. Trying to reboot the collection plate on the strength of a letter from a man who then left is not restoration. It is improvisation.

Forty years in the wilderness was supposed to end with the earth swallowing the rivals and the faithful entering the promises. Instead it has ended with a man explaining why an unfinished, retracted authorization still makes him the only lawful recipient of God's tithe. The letter from the Philippines does not change that. It only makes the claim smaller, more isolated, and easier to see for what it is: one more attempt to keep a dead corporation's cash-flow theology alive after every human who was supposed to validate it has already moved on.
