Prophet Thiel has another entry today condemning various non-COG false prophets that have been uttered stupid predictions over the last few years. He points out all their foibles while promoting his cultic book that is supposed to have all the answers.
He can rightly discern that these men are liars and false prophets, yet, he is blinded to the fact he follows one of Armstrongism's biggest liars and false prophets, Roderick C Meredith. Meredith has uttered many damnable lies over the decades that have been publicly exposed over and over. Yet, Prophet Thiel turns a blind eye to them, just as he refused to acknowledge the lies of Herbert Armstrong, Herman Hoeh, Dean Blackwell, Gerald Waterhouse and others.
They still gloss over the fact that Herbert Armstrong and Roderick Meredith lied in the early 70's when they said that we would be fleeing to Petra by 1972. They lied that famine, disease and pestilence would destroy the nation in 1975. They lied over and over and still today they have followers who deny they ever uttered a false prophecy.
Thiel writes:
On January 2, 2011, in an article titled False Predictions for 2011 I had denounced several false predictions for 2011.
The false prediction with the largest following was Harold Egbert
Camping of Family Radio. And I stated that the following were some of
his predictions which would be proven false in late May and October of
2011:
As we have noted, God further solidifies or locks in this
date, May 21, 2011, by placing the day of shutting the door, when the
rapture will occur, on the 17th day of the second month of the Biblical
calendar. Significantly, the number 17 links perfectly to the fact of
the rapture because spiritually, the number 17 signifies heaven.
Moreover, the number 2 (second month) spiritually identifies with those
who have been commissioned to bring the Gospel. Is it not amazing that
they will be raptured on the 17th day of the second month? Is that
coincidental? We also have learned that the last day of the earth’s
existence, October 21, 2011, is the 23rd day of the seventh month of the
Biblical calendar. The number 23 normally signifies God’s wrath being
poured out. The number 7 (seventh month) signifies the perfect
fulfillment of God’s purposes. Could this also be coincidental, that the
final completion of God’s punishment on the unsaved occurs in the
seventh month on a day that features the number 23, which is a number
that completely identifies with God’s wrath, thus signifying God’s
perfect wrath on the unsaved? (Camping H. We are Almost There! 2008 edition, p. 61-62)
Jesus did not return on May 21, 2011 nor did the world end on October
21, 2011. Tens of thousands read my long article about him titled Harold Camping’s Teachings About the End of the World Do Not Agree with the Bible.
Then in true COG fashion, Prophet Thiel pulls a Dave Pack rabbit out of the air to promote his new book. Dave Pack has the worlds largest and best web site on "the truth" while Prophet Thiel has the worlds most important and ONLY book currently dealing with false prophecies. It is the worlds best documented book on the topic.
Those who seriously would like to compare various predictions and how
they align (or in certain cases do not align) with Bible prophecy should
check out my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect
as it seems to be the most documented book on the market to do so (also
world events have already aligned with at least 20 predictions that it
contains, with none shown to be false).
It just goes to show that Prophet Thiel is as big of a liar as his spiritual leader Roderick C Meredith is.
