The other day the news story was all about the bones of St. Peter.
Peter is now passe.
Now it is the reanimation of the bones of HWA and GTA
who will be returning as zombies
in January 2014 to finish the mighty work.
Geoff Neilson, that wild and crazy guy from South Africa, who credits one year's worth of Ambassador College "education" as his standard of excellence, writes:
Who is The 7th Messenger
God sends to His Church?
God said He'd 7 Messengers send
To the 7 Churches before they end
We know the 6th Apostle came and went
But who's the 7th of these special men?
Sent by Heaven they're all Apostles
So is the last Elijah by definition
His work God regards so colossal
It saves Earth from utter destruction
Jesus said Elijah would restore all things
Meaning the first to last crucial doctrine
So that prophet's time had to begin
With the first endtime Philadelphian
Asked if he was Elijah the 6th said “No”
Meaning not the first one, as meant John
Who was also quite dead when Christ foretold
Of final Elijah's future Restoration
For him or Two Witnesses to first come
In the Beast's Terrible Tribulation
Is too late to warn Israel's wayward sons
To escape the penalty of their sin
Do you remember HWA foresaw?
'The Temple in 2 Thess 2 is spiritual'
Then a Man of Sin defiled its ritual
Thought himself God by 'changing' His Law
But prophecy is dual it's now clear
Since the False Prophet must still appear
And show the world--not himself--untruths
Camouflaged by 'miracles' the Devil brews
Did HWA forget the day
--In 1974, that May--
When he passed his mantle to GTA?
Was that the real passing of the baton?
Christ separating Sixth from Seven?
Ted garnered more Members before his sin
Other than those his father deleavened
After disfellowshipped in 1978
They never spoke or met again
“To restore all things” means from first to last.
Elijah decides what's to be “held fast”
That's not the 7th's legal domain
Ruling out any imposter's false claim
“The hands of [the endtime] Zerubbabel
have laid the foundation of God's Temple.
His hands shall also finish it. Then you,
will know the LORD sent him too”
Bible arithmetic doubt overturns
One man can be the 6th Apostle,
The First Witness, and Elijah returned
With God all things are possible
“Rise from your earthly grave and measure
the condition of God's Spiritual Temple:
and the Ministers and Members who worship there”
Seems to be the Revelation from John's quill
Something similar happened once before
After Christ was resurrected from the dead
Many rose from their graves who kept God's Law
Then witnessed in Jerusalem, Matthew said
The Two Witnesses represent
The last two eras--Christ clearly disclosed
So who's the 7th Messenger then?
Surely the Joshua needing clean clothes
God said He would send only 7.
6 Messengers + 2 Witnesses = 8.
So at least one must return hints Heaven
More likely it's both Armstrong's future fate
GTA couldn't speak 'til he was three
His father anointed him and God healed
His speech was a miracle heard by us all
The gifts of God are without recall.
If God forgave the sins of this 'Joshua'
That great act of mercy would signal to all
No matter how poor or posh they are
Laodiceans can rise from their fall
The Two Witnesses 1260-day ministry
Will be miraculous from start to end
Rising from the dead would show you and me
They are both prophets--if again sent
Sealing their place in Church of God history
Herbert Armstrong prophesied far more
Than all the Bible prophets combined
Of God's World To Come and of things before
So how could he not be one of their kind?
As the men Jesus trained were His disciples
As the prophet's books are God's not their's
So the Work of Elijah's disciples
Is first accrued to his account not their's.
He's the Philadelphia Apostle
The final Elijah, the start-to-finish-
Temple-building Zerubbabel
The Voice Crying in the Wilderness:
“Prepare the way of the Eternal”
Who else in the Church is so well known
By top people in Jerusalem?
What other ministers Royal Lineage own?
Which from esteemed King David stems
Is that why it says: “When this comes to pass,
You'll know a prophet has been among you”?
Meaning you knew him sometime in the past
When he made plain and restored God's Truth
No-one since has kept the Church united
Though some claim to be Heaven's sole earthly voice
Are they failing the test in Scripture cited?
Echoing the Fallen Angel's wrong choice
As the Joseph Tribes increasingly fall
As Assyria spreads her eagle wings.
Remember when and how you were called
And who first prophesied all these things
Jan 2014 may the answer provide
One Sun Cycle after HWA died
Will he return with his son at his side?
Turn the hearts of many a Jew and Gentile
Lead the way to the Christ they denied
What if this is the final test of your heart and mine?
Would we follow Elijah-who's-come a second time?
Would our new loyalties seem more sublime?
Or would we be Philadelphians?
Measured by Zerubbabel's plumbline
The first and last words are the LORD's:
“He that receives a prophet
in the name of a prophet,
shall receive a prophet’s reward”
“He that receives whomsoever I send
receives me;
and he that receives me
receives Him that sent me”
