Geoff Neilson: HWA and GTA To Be Reanimated Back To "Life" In January 2014

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”

Back In Print: The Edges of Seventh-day Adventism Separatist Groups

For those interested:

The Edges of Seventh-Day Adventism: A Study of Separatist Groups Emerging from the Seventh-Day Adventist Church (1844-1980) Including the Worldwide Church of God, the Ford and Brinsmead Controversies, as Well as the Massacre of David Koresh & His Follower

Amazon has this to say:

Lowell Tarling wrote ‘Edges’ for that most wonderful of all author incentives – insatiable curiosity. Combined with a quest for enlightenment, he undertook a subject few would have chosen—the history of those people and groups that separated from the Seventh-day Adventist church. Of necessity, this also includes touching on the history of the mainstream Seventh-day Adventist church. Lowell’s education and early adult experiences were deeply entwined with the Seventh-day Adventist church. However, it would be a mistake to assume that his writing on the subject suffers from any degree of bias. There is a sense that he took on the role of bystander, and this essentially gave him a valuable degree of separation and objectivity. Methodical in his approach and relentless with regard to research, Lowell delivers a surprising, connective, inside view of a divisive period in the growth and emergence of the separatist groups that were spawned within the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Sparing nothing, he pares back the layers of doctrine, dogma and the heated nature of the schisms in the church. He deftly reveals the angst, divergence and egotism; but also humanity, desire for truth and humility. For all of these were present in the interchanges that shaped not only those movements that separated, but also the Seventh-day Adventist church. The first edition of ‘Edges’ was published in 1981. Reprinted now to a generation who did not share the past struggles is indeed worthwhile. It is because of the conflict and debate of those times that they now sit in the pews of churches of their choice, where ‘saved by grace alone’ is integral and unchallenged. Essentially, emergence from dissension is a human experience. It occurs with every doctrine, creed or organisation. There is a wider view - this is not only the history and narrative of one church’s crises. It touches wherever we are in life. Ultimately, it is impossible to ignore the authenticity of Lowell’s search. We sense that it means more than a disengaged treatise on a topic of interest. In the end it matters less whether he found viable answers to a religious dilemma. It is significant that he had the courage to ask questions. Above all, it is notable that at the close of the book he chose the words spoken by Christ, ‘Whosoever will, may come’.

Crazy Church of God Beliefs: Peter Buried on Bricket Wood Campus?

Every once in a while a new story will pop up that tells of another Church of God legend that is completely bonkers in reality.

The other day this was sent to me:

Many years ago there was an article in the PT or possibly the Good News that stated that the Vatican way way back  sent what they said were the remains of Peter to England. The article claimed that they were buried on what became the AC campus at Bricket Wood. Does anyone else remember this?  This was a long time ago so I don't remember the details of how this took place.

I have never heard this and I have to say this is the stupidest thing I have heard in ages.  They lengths people go to to try and legitimize the beliefs of Armstrongism is amazing.  I guess this was to further solidify the British Israelism malarkey that the church used to believe.

Its no wonder people fall for the lies of David C. Pack, Gerald Flurry and others. If they believe these kind of stupid stories they will believe anything these fraudulent "ministers" tell them.

Will Gerald Six-Pack Flurry now uses this to try and buy the Bricket Wood campus?  So far he has failed to buy anything. Will he now lie to his members and tell them that he is seeking to preserve the burial place of Peter?
