Prophet Thiel is all ticked off today about satan and demons.  Particularly when they are attached to astrology and prophecy.

Given the abysmal failure of literally hundreds of failed prophecies in Armstrongism, uttered from HWA down through Meredith, Flurry, Pack, Weinland, Coulter, Cox and others, Thiel fails to pay heed to his own words of warning.  How many more lies does Meredith and crew need to utter before he wakes up?

How can you tell whether someone is truly a minister of God, and not someone controlled by the occult world? Deuteronomy gives us a key. “If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods’; which you have not known; ‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice, and you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him” (Deuteronomy 13:1–4).

A false minister or prophet may even prophesy accurately concerning some sign or wonder. But God says that if he leads you after other gods—if he leads you away from the God of the Bible and the true Jesus Christ of your Bible—then he is a false prophet. Notice also that God may be testing you, to see if you will be faithful to His word and to His way of life!

Obviously Thiel believes that COG prophets CAN make false prophecies or utter things that do not come to pass as long as they are directing people towards their "TRUE" god.

He then goes on to say

There are many false prophecies and predictions these days.  Some from demons, some from astrology, and some from imagination.  But many have occult connections.  Many will be deceived from false prophecies claimed to be related to 2012

Thousands of false utterances occur every week in Armstrongism.  I guess it is pesky little demons that are causing those false words. Is it a demon who is causing Meredith to lie?

Thiel then starts blabbering on about Anton Levy and his Church of Satan in regards to birthdays. Do you not realize that when you keep your birthday or a loved one's birthday you are bowing at the altar of Satan?  The next thing you know you will be sacrificing your children on the Chruch of Satan altar........

New Commands For TRUE Believers: Temporary Dwellings, Waving Palms, Pouring Water

It is Feast time and the COG's are scattering all over the globe for this annual observance.  But there are a few reprobates who are staying home if they live in the local Feast areas.  The Apostle Malm says that if you do, you are NOT acceptable to God.

He then goes on to how you should be waving palms and branches during the feast and also pouring out water as you dance around the room.

 If you are staying in your houses for the Feast you are NOT observing the Feast and your attempts to do things your own way, instead of as God has commanded are NOT acceptable to God.

I know that because of poverty or illness or great age not all of us can travel, yet we must make every effort to obey God and keep the Feast as God has commanded.   I also know that it is quite acceptable to build a Sukkot,  booth or pitch a tent in your back yard or even in your basement if you live in an area of extreme weather.  I am also aware of the needs of the ill and the aged.  Notwithstanding; every possible effort should be made to dwell in a temporary shelter for the full seven days.

You also need to be shaking tree branches or waving palms during the Feast:

Here we have a direct command to take branches and to rejoice with them for seven days.  How many times have you done that in the years that you have kept the Feast?  Does your organization obey this command of Almighty God?  if not they are losing out on a valuable lesson and much understanding of the meaning of this Feast.

What does this command mean?  Boughs or branches of goodly [healthy, beautiful or strong] trees are to be cut on the very first day, the High Holy day of this Feast and we are to rejoice with them for seven days.  The palm and willow are specifically mentioned, however we are NOT told that these branches are limited to the palm and willow. We are NOT told to build our booths out of these branches, although Nehemiah thought that such was the intent of Moses, before Christ came to reveal the real intent of the command, Neh 8.

We are to rejoice with them.  Why are we to take branches of trees and rejoice [wave or shake] them?  Because of what they represent!

In the ancient celebration, on each day of the Feast of Tabernacles, the people in the Temple courtyard would hold the clusters of branches, waving them before the LORD and make a circular procession around the altar. The first six days they would circle the altar once. On the seventh days, they would circle the altar seven times, to increase the joy.

During the procession they would pray a prayer that came to be known as Hoshanos. It is a prayer for God’s blessing, ending each phrase of the prayer with the word hoshana (“Please save”, “save us” or “save now!”). For this reason, the last day came to be known as Hoshana Rabba, meaning the Day of the Great ‘O Save’.

Each day (except for the first day) of the festival, a group of priests would set out to gather large willows that they would wave back and forth as they proceeded toward the temple, thus making a “swooshing” sound, the sound of the wind or the Ruach, Holy Spirit.

While this was going on, another group of priests would proceed to the Pool of Siloam from which the High Priest would gather a flask full of “living water”.

On the first Holy day and the regular Sabbath water was obtained the previous day and then poured out on the high Day and regular Sabbath. Both groups would then return to the Temple, and while the group with the willows would circle the altar waving their willows, the High Priest with his flask of water and his assistant with a flask of wine would both empty their pitchers on the southwest corner of the altar, thus picturing the coming of the Holy Spirit as living water.
