Bob Thiel: Is He Ready To Declare Himself Another Elisha?

God's most important man (after Davey Pack), worlds foremost authority on prophecy, all things Mayan and Chief Overseer of the Continuing Ed Church of God is all excited that recent excavations may have discovered Elisha's home.

Notice however, the very first line where Bob makes sure to point out that Elisha had a double portion of the Holy Spirit.

This is the same thing that Bob uses to legitimize his apostate splinter cult.  He claims an LCG elder doubly blessed with a double portion of the holy spirit.

When one is doubly blessed one MUST start their own church even when they are not ordained.

There is a report that a dwelling of the biblical Elisha, who asked to be granted a double-portion of God’s Spirit from Elijah (2 Kings 2:9-13), has possibly been found:

TEL REHOV, Israel – During 16 years of excavating Tel Rehov in the Jordan Valley, archaeologists uncovered a 3,000-year-old, well-planned city.

They also found a unique building that might have been the house of Elisha the prophet…

During the excavations, archaeologists discovered a special room inside the house with a table and a bench. They also discovered a pottery shard with the name Elisha on it, dated to the 9th century.

The discovery has led some to believe this was the room of the prophet Elisha.

Towards the end of the posting Bob has this:

Elisha was made a prophet of God to lead after Elijah no longer was fit to be the leader (see also Elijah: Past and Prophesied).

As we get closer to the end, it is interesting that archaeologists continue to find more evidence of biblical peoples, places, figures, and events.

 That all translates into Bob speak as this:

Since Rod Meredith was no longer fit to lead the church I had to step in and take matters in hand.  Even though I am not ordained by the laying on of  hands, I have been doubly blessed by an elder so therefore I am a legitimate leader in the Church of God.  As we get closer to the end God will further legitimize me in my position as he unveils more archaeological items and scriptural references.

Royal Baby: King David's Great, Great, Great, Great, Great...Grandchild Will Be 4 When Millennium Starts

Just when you think COG members can't dream up another stupid theory, along comes Geoff.

Why the new Royal baby may be a sign of things to come

On 18th July 2013 (10th Ab), the British Government

announced the Queen had signed a Law 'legalizing'

marriage between Sodomites.

That indicates she may have signed it the previous day,

on the 9th of Ab. 

This abomination in Ephraim, whom God calls "My first born",

approved by the incumbent Judah-sceptre-line monarch,

--descended from King David--

can thus be compared to,

if David had proclaimed all Israelites are allowed to

legally marry a person of the same sex.

Knowing how God responded to David's adultery,

had this happened, it would have also brought

a direct response from Heaven.

Indicating we are now in a similar time.

Especially when viewed in light of

(a) the spreading Sodomite 'marriages'

in America, France, and other mainly Israelite nations

--see:

http://www.freedomtomarry.org/landscape/entry/c/international

...combined with (b) the increasing violence and racial trouble in the world. 

All of which surely indicate

WE ARE IN AN ADVANCED STATE OF BEING,

IN DAYS LIKE  THOSE OF NOAH,

which Jesus predicted would come in the end days,

and which compel Him to intervene in world affairs

sometime soon.

If Herbert W. Armstrong was correct

and Christ returns on a Feast of Trumpets

preceded by a 1335-day countdown,

that count can (currently) start early 2014.

Which means that when Christ returns,

the new Royal baby would be

at least 4-years old.

He was born 22 July 2013 (15 Ab).

A few days after the Queen signed the new Law.

 So the new baby may be another sign the end is near...

 

...because, when the Millennium is over,

and he's a 1000-year old spirit being,

King David is going to be blessed

by having his own newborn baby

from Bathsheba, resurrected.

Similarly when the Millennium starts,

David looks like he's going

to be blessed by having the

by then 4-year old (or older) new Royal Prince,

as a great-great-great-etc grandchild.

 

In both cases these look like God-planned events.

The new Prince's birth shortly after

the UK Sodomite-'marriage' law was announced,

may also indicate God knew it would happen,

and this was His way of saying

that He stands behind both man/woman marriage,

and childbirth

--and His promise to David of a perpetual

line of Royalty.

Philadelphia Church of God: God Has Placed A Big Bullas Over Edmond, Oklahoma.

Armstrongism has always thought its self to be special and called out from the rest of the world.  The church was always so special that God had placed special protection over Church properties and members homes.  Whenever earthquakes, tornadoes and floods happened we were always guaranteed a litany of stories about how the church HQ was spared damage and that all members were spared as homes were destroyed around them.

Today, the PCG's Trumpet Daily has a video up with little Stevie next to his Jerusalem apartment.  Armstrong College has several students in Jerusalem participating in a dig next to the Temple Mount. See The Key To David's City.

Listening to Stevie's 20 minute video is mind-numbingly boring.  I cannot imagine sitting and listening to this buffoon speak for an hour and half.

In the comment section below the video was the comment that follows.  It shows how shallow and provincial the Flurry cult is in its viewpoint of its self.

So what is a push in?

PCG's god is apparently so well pleased that he has a big push pin stuck in Edmond on the global map that says, "Here is where I dwell."


So what is a Bullas?   This is where the fun begins.  For being such a 'god' fearing church it also believes in amulets!  Of course when you have your god's special protection isn't that what you are really saying?  PCG's god has placed a dome over Edmond as the special resting place for its god and blessed it.  Edmond is now sanctified because of PCG.

Bulla, an amulet worn like a locket, was given to male children in Ancient Rome nine days after birth. They were enigmatic objects of lead covered in gold foil. A bulla was worn around the neck as a locket to protect against evil spirits and forces. A bulla was made of differing substances depending upon the wealth of the family. Before the age of manhood, Roman boys wore a bulla, a neckchain and round pouch containing protective amulets (usually phallic symbols), and the bulla of an upper-class boy would be made of gold.^[1] Other materials included leather and cloth.

A girl child did not wear a bulla,^[2] but another kind of amulet, like lunula^{[disambiguation needed]} until the eve of her marriage, when it was removed along with her childhood toys and other things. She would then stop wearing child's clothes and start wearing women's Roman Dress. A boy used to wear a bulla until he became a Roman citizen at the age of 16. His bulla was carefully saved, and on some important occasions, like his becoming a general and commanding a parade, the bulla was taken out. He would wear the bulla during the ceremony to safeguard against evil forces like the jealousy of men.

Why am I continually surprised by the dumb things that leak out of some COG members brains?
