Crackpot Prophet Writes Another Book Destined For The Trash Bin of History

 

Where would the Church of God be without all of its resident so-called biblical authorities who have to open their mouths upon EVERYTHING? Sadly, these kinds of fools are a dime a dozen in Armstrongism. They come out with book after book and article after article filled with some of the most idiotic false prophecies imaginable.

We have highlighted two of the four biggest liars of the church a lot lately, Dave Pack and Gerald Flurry. This leaves Alton Billingsley and the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel.

On Friday, the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel announced a new book on prophecy. But before we highlight the new book, let's see how many of these blockbusters you have read or even heard of:

2012

Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States” explains how, by virtue of his background and policies, Barack Obama is fulfilling, and will continue to help fulfill, various prophecies that will lead to the destruction of the United States. Not intended as an anti-Democratic nor pro-Republican book, “Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States” also tells the truth about Mitt Romney and why his possible election would also lead to destruction. It answers questions such as “Is Barack Obama apocalyptic? ” and “Is Barack Obama the Antichrist?” Citing Islamic, Kenyan, Catholic, Byzantine, and Bible prophecy, as well as the writings of Nostradamus and others, “Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States” explains from many sources where, why, when, and even some of how, the various aspects of destruction will come.

Get a load of this crap... Did you know that Bobby Bwana is one of the world's most preeminent scholars of prophecy? I kid you not, this fool actually said this!

Written by Bob Thiel, Ph.D., one of the world's preeminent authorities on prophecies for the 21st century, “Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States” explains why certain commonly reported “prophetic” claims about Barack Obama are false, and yet gives seventeen specific reasons why Barack Obama is apocalyptic. It also lists events that are going to happen that will lead to the destruction of the United States of America, as well as its British-descended allies such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Prophecies related to the roles of Europe and China are also analyzed.

The fact that MSNBC and the Washington Times quoted Bobby Bwana is not something to crow about. MSNBC is one of the least credible news sources today and is widely mocked, and the Washington Times is a mouthpiece of the Moon cult.

As an award-winning researcher cited by MSNBC and The Washington Times, Dr. Thiel took his work seriously, traveling to Patmos, Greece (where the Apocalypse was originally written) as well as certain other places he identifies in his book. He and his wife have visited scores of sites of religious and prophetic interest around the world. After years of compiling and analyzing prophecies and Barack Obama, Dr. Thiel now presents them in a clear, straightforward language, explaining what was prophesied, what has already occurred, and what will happen in the future.

Traveling to historical sites does NOT make one an authority on anything, particularly when it comes to Armstrongite mythology. 

How reliable has Dr. Thiel been interpreting predictions mentioned throughout the book? Released in late 2009, dozens of world events have already aligned with Dr. Thiel’s book “2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect.” And 2012 is not yet over (plus there are many post-2012 predictions in that book that will also come to pass—the book clearly states that the world will not end in 2012). World events have specifically also aligned with a dozen predictions related to the Obama Administration that he documented in that 2009 book (and those are also listed in the Appendix of “Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States”).

 

2016

"Hillary Clinton, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States" explains about how, by virtue of her background and policies, Hillary Clinton is fulfilling, and will continue to help fulfill, various prophecies that will lead to the destruction of the United States. Not intended as an anti-Democratic nor pro-Republican book, "Hillary Clinton, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States" also tells the truth about Republican leaders like Donald Trump and why their practices would also lead to destruction. It answers many question. Is Hillary Clinton apocalyptic? Does Bible prophecy warn about a woman leading the USA? Could Hillary Clinton be the Antichrist? What really will happen to the USA and other lands? Citing Islamic, Buddhist, Catholic, Byzantine, Native American, and Bible prophecy, as well as the writings of Nostradamus and others, "Hillary Clinton, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States" explains from many sources where, why, when, and even some of how, the various aspects of destruction will come. Since Dr. Thiel first wrote about the Obama Administration in his 2009 book, it has taken steps to fulfill, at least partially, at least a dozen predictions that Dr. Thiel recorded. More will be fulfilled as well. Would you like to learn more about what Hillary Clinton has done and the real direction that the United States and its British-descended allies such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are really going? This highly referenced book documents the truth about this.

 

2017 

"Donald Trump and America's Apocalypse" explains about how, by virtue of his background and and stated policies, Donald Trump is fulfilling, and will continue to help fulfill, various prophecies that will lead to the Apocalypse and the future destruction of the United States. Not intended as an anti-Democratic nor pro-Republican book, it cites biblical and other prophecies and shows how events are aligning with, and will align with various of them. It answers questions many question, like: Is Donald Trump apocalyptic? Is he the 'Trump of God'? Could Donald Trump be the Antichrist? Who will destroy the USA? Citing Islamic, Buddhist, Catholic, Byzantine, Native American, and Bible prophecy, as well as the writings of Nostradamus and others, "Donald Trump and America's Apocalypse" explains from many sources where, why, when, and even some of how, the various aspects of destruction will come. Since Dr. Thiel first wrote about the Obama Administration in his 2009 book, it has taken steps to fulfill, at least partially, at least a dozen predictions that Dr. Thiel recorded. Plus, four he has written would happen if Donald Trump was elected have already been at least partially confirmed. More will be fulfilled as well. Would you like to learn more about what Donald Trump has done and the real direction that the United States and its British-descended allies such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are really going? This highly referenced book documents the truth about this.

Not having learned a lesson after printing these complete failures in prophecy, our favorite crackpot has a new book out, just in time to celebrate Trump being reelected. Notice, though, how he just copies and pastes previous writings secretly, hoping that someday he might hit the mark and something he wrote might actually come true. It never will but at least he gets to dream big.

2025

Most of us living in these exciting and turbulent times go about our daily activities blissfully or purposely unconcerned about the future. We hear and see reports, through various media, of events converging in ever more intensity on a path toward what? Most don’t benefit from an understanding that these events are leading to the fulfillment of many prophecies.

Yet, there are good reasons to “bother” with ancient writings and other sources of prognostication, since we will all be affected by the actions of billions of people who take predictions seriously.

Historically, many powerful civilizations were destroyed through economic, military, health and moral decline. Will alliances like NATO remain helpful through these difficulties? At least 22 predictions/warnings I made about the first Donald Trump Administration were totally or at least partially fulfilled during his first term in office.

Bobby Bwana seeks to answer these topics again:

Is Donald Trump apocalyptic? Is he the 'Trump of God'? Could Donald Trump be the Antichrist? Who will destroy the USA? Citing Islamic, Buddhist, Catholic, Byzantine, Native American, and Bible prophecy, as well as the writings of Nostradamus and others...

Does ANYONE give a flying rat's ass what ANYONE thinks about these things? Only the minds of degenerate false prophets of Armstrongism seem to dwell on such detritus grot. Anything they can do to stay away from mentioning Jesus, they will wallow in it, no matter how filthy it is. Does anyone care what Islam or Nostradamus thinks about Trump?

This new book is destined to join the previous three books in the dustbin of history as the epic failures they all were. With the endless stream of false prophecies in each book, they are all destined for epic failure. These books now occupy their rightful place in the boot of the City dump trucks or lining the bottom of your parakeet's birdcage.

Four epic failures, filled with lies and false prophecies. Avoid at all costs! Maintain your sanity

 

 

 

UCG: People Who Have Crosses In Their Churches Or Homes Are Lazy

Church of God "logic" is never boring...

What does the Second Commandment forbid?

The Second Commandment forbids anyone from making or displaying visual images with the goal of incorporating them into their worship of God. Many Christian churches and homes display revered religious images, including crosses, crucifixes, statues and paintings that are supposed to be of Jesus or Mary or a “saint,” mystical symbols, steeples, special shapes, stained glass windows with religious designs, etc. Especially problematic is the practice of directing one’s prayers to God through Mary the mother of Jesus or some other “saint.”

Many religious people don’t understand the Second Commandment and the intent behind using images in their worship is sincere. They feel that the images inspire them and help them to feel closer to God. We can admire their good intentions, sincerity and zeal, but we must understand the problem with this practice.

Adding to the issue is the fact that many “Christian” images are in fact inherited from ancient pagan religions! For example, some pagan religions worshipped a “Madonna and child.”

Please understand that the Second Commandment does not forbid artwork showing people and animals or even artwork showing biblical scenes. God commanded intricate artwork to be engraved in God’s temple and elsewhere. But none of that artwork was regarded as representing God.

Why shouldn’t we use religious images?

It is human nature to desire to see, hear or touch God. That explains why people are naturally tempted to look at something they can see to represent God. Furthermore, human nature is lazy. It is mentally challenging to contemplate God as invisible and infinite. The human mind desires to bring God “down to earth” in some tangible form.

Such practices enormously diminish God in people’s minds. The Creator of all things cannot be equated with anything in His creation! To read how strongly God feels about this issue, see Deuteronomy 4:12, 15-19, 23-29; 7:5; 12:1-5!

By that "logic," the symbols of their "Passover" service are also lazy and diminish God.  The Church of God has always looked at the symbols of bread and wine as pointing to Christ and his sacrifice. Yet a person who has a cross in their home is a deceived, unclean pagan who secretly abhors God and is deliberately diminishing God. 

What about the Feast of Tabernacles, a "symbol" of the millennium to come?  Was it co-opted from the surrounding pagan harvest cultures the Israelites were next to because they were lazy and did not know how to relate to God?

These are all symbolizing God coming to earth in a tangible way.

In Armstrongism, the cross is the most despised symbol of Christianity that it holds in contempt. Who can forget Bob Thiel's OBSCENE display of vile insensitivity when he had a meltdown when Christians in Milwaukee erected memorial crosses for the Living Church of God members slaughtered during a church service.

Yet, the cross commemorates Jesus' death on the cross and thus the central event of the Christian faith. On the one hand, the cross represents the sacrificial death of Jesus, but at the same time, it symbolizes his resurrection from the dead and the reconciliation between humans and God. Christians do not worship the cross and never have, in spite of the lies of COG leaders claiming they do.

What about the Azazel goat that symbolized the sins of Israel being placed upon it which it carried out into the wilderness during Atonement? It is an important part of Armstrongism, yet Christians are lazy.

Then there is the fish symbol that early Christians used as a secret way of identifying themselves to other Christians. I guess they were too lazy to proudly proclaim they were Christians in the surrounding pagan Roman world. It would have meant an instant death sentence, but shame on them! They were too ashamed to talk bout Jesus, much like Herbert Armstrong was.

The rainbow, which is supposed to symbolize God's faithfulness after the flood, was a sign of the covenant between God and man. He made his promise to the people that he would always provide for them, for "as long as the earth endures, sowing and reaping, frost and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease". (Genesis 8:22).

Symbolism in Armstrongism has always been important. The Church of God has its own set of symbols, myths, and legends that make it who it is as a church today.

And while we are on symbols in Armstrongism, lets not forget Ambassador Auditorium! Hoo doggie! 

The auditorium has its worshippers facing Eastward to the rising sun for worship services. 

Or, the fact it was a Masonic cube that also had an interior room up in the ceiling that symbolized the 33rd degree. This was relayed to me by a construction worker who helped build the building when I gave him a tour years ago, He said the auditorium was filled with Masonic symbolism.

My two favorite symbols of the auditorium are its bridges in front symbolizing the female vagina opening with a phallic fountain erupting in all its glory in the center opening of it...

...and its majestic phallic columns exploding at the tips to the four corners of the earth like the gospel of Armstrongism was doing.

You may think I am making this all up, but these are actually things that people at HQ have said over the years. The best, though, was the man who actually convinced a few people in 1974 into believing that when it came time to flee to Petra, God would make the 5 egrets in the front fountain come alive, which would then pick up the auditorium and fly it to Petra with the 5th egret leading the way.

This is the legacy of Armstrongism.

 

Are Demonic Forces Trying To Destroy Living Church of God?

 

We Must Draw Closer to God: 

 

We live in an increasingly godless, dangerous, and materialistic age. The head of the United Nations recently warned that humanity has “unleashed a modern-day Pandora’s box of ills” and the world is facing “grave uncertainty.” The Bible reveals that as we approach the end of the age, Satan will be actively involved in fomenting discord and division in the world and among God’s people wherever he can (Revelation 12:12–17). Many of God’s people are facing serious trials and Satan will seek to plant doubts and discouragement and stir up strife. We are also dealing with demonic forces that want to disrupt and silence God’s Work on earth. We need to remember that we are not just dealing with physical problems but are in a battle with spiritual forces and must stay close to God and heed His admonitions to get through these trials (Ephesians 6:10–18). Moses wrote that in the latter days, when we are in tribulation, if we turn to God and obey Him, we will find Him—if we seek him with all our hearts (Deuteronomy 4:27–30; see also 2 Chronicles 15:1–4 and Jeremiah 29:13). We also have the example of Daniel, who sought God with prayers, supplications, and fasting in a humble, respectful, and repentant attitude (Daniel 9:3–5). Jesus said that if we beseech God with prayer and fasting, miraculous things can happen (Matthew 17:21). As we fast together to draw closer to God, let’s do this with all our heart so we can be more effective instruments in God’s hands.
Have a profitable Sabbath,
