The Perfect Storm: God's Punishment on America

Here we go again.  I knew it would not take too long before a COG minister started blaming the storm that is soon to hit the East coast as punishment from God.  Next it will be Flurry, Pack and Meredith jerking the COG around with God's wrath crap.

God's end time TRUE Worldwide Church of God leader, the one and only E.W. King say that he predicted this hurricane/storm earlier in the year.

As many of you know, I predicted the record breaking tornados and even hot temps and record rain in certain parts of the United States. I also warned in my November 2010 forecast that we would see a drought nation-wide. I predicted in my April 2012 forecast of an increase in not only gas but also food prices because of the draught.

Any third grader who has at least a little science will be able to predict tornado's, hot temperatures and record rain in various parts of the United States.  Give me a break!  Are King's followers that stupid that they believe he predicted this?????

In grand old Church of God fashion, he cannot leave well enough alone.  There is a reason behind this storm.  This time though, it's not the abortionists, the gays, or the liberals, It's Mitt Romney!  It's all HIS fault this is happening.

Well, now as Mr. Romney takes the lead in the polls we see the Perfect Storm. This storm now known as Hurricane Sandy could be a great warning regarding the false prophet and pagan president soon to perhaps take office.

E. W. King then goes on to predict earthquakes.  Really?  There are going to be earthquakes?

I have an earthquake reporting app on my iPhone that instantly tells me when an earthquake happens anywhere in the world.  It goes off constantly!  Tonight though, E.W. must really be gloating, considering there were several large earthquakes in the Queen Charlotte region of Canada. The largest a 7.7.  

There are to be solar flares this next year too.  Really?  Solar flares?  Where are those third graders again?????  Oh, and let's not forget terrorist attacks.  They are bound to happen to, unfortunately.  By predicting such a things does not make one a prophet or agent of God.

The next big thing to hit us is electrical storms.  Anyone living in the Midwest can verify that they have those too.

Also, I have warned about the increase in earthquakes and the solar flare activity that may be headed our way. And sadly, more terrorist attacks and shootings in the US. We are living in sad times. As Christians we have true Hope! Hope of a better world to come because of Jesus Christ! We are living in the end-times. It is truly time to stay awake, alert and aware. Electric storms on the way!

  Then he breathlessly announces the following:

We will watch military actions occur very soon!

Well d'oh!

Even God's greatest authority on prophecy and end time events can't keep his mouth shut.  He too, is boasting that he predicted hurricanes and earthquakes and all kinds of other goodies.

And of course, in 2012, weather problems, including flooding, drought, and heat have affected various parts of the world (see, for example, Earthquakes, South African Snow, Heat Record, Drought, and Food Prices, Flooding in North Korea, Philippines, Taiwan, and China, TW: Drought USA and Flooding UK; Russia Having Both, Quarter Million Affected by Flooding in Japan, Severely Cold Weather in South Africa and Australia, Drought in Mid-USA Affecting Grain, 2012 Drought Declared USA’s Largest Ever Natural Disaster, Drought Affecting India and Its Food Supply; Europe too, Drought Reducing Wheat Yields in US, Australia, Russia, and Ukraine, and Weather Extremes in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK).
Back in 2009, my book, 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect mentioned the following was about to happen:

Odd weather patterns result in food shortages and natural disasters.

Matthew 24:7

The world is actually in a berserk transition, as the real age of peace is not yet here. It may be a period of chaos. It is the beginning of sorrows

Matthew 24:8

In 2011, the USA had a tremendous amount of odd weather as well (see NRDC: All US States Had Extreme Weather; Confirms 2012 Book Prediction).
Droughts and odd weather problems should serve as a wake-up call.  Weather-related troubles with their related social and food issues, of course, have been biblically expected:

False prophets of doom have been predicting these things for millennia.  Their stupidity does nothing more than keep us entertained.

UCG Money Problems Curtail HQ Travel

UCG took a huge financial hit when COGWA formed.  UCG still is struggling to get back into a solid financial situation.  Despite having 9,000 people attend their Feast this year, they still did not bring in everything they need in tithes and offerings.

Kubik sent this out to the ministers:

We are seriously trying to reduce our financial outgo in Ministerial Services and instituted a number of cost reductions.  The conference following this one was to be in the Los Angeles area. We have postponed this conference until after the one near Portland which is scheduled for April 21-23, 2013.  Also, we have carved out another area in the Mountain states for an eighth conference.  It is cost-prohibitive to fly these elders and wives to the West Coast.  The entire cycle for face to face conferences will then be approximately two years. 

Also, we have greatly curtailed all travel under the supervision of MMS.  I was planning a major international trip in January and canceled it. I have asked all our senior pastors to do the same until our expenditures and revenue come into balance. In the meantime, we are asking our senior pastors who care for churches in the United States and overseas to use Skype, DVDs, and other communication means to stay in contact with their distant congregations.
