Holy Roman Empire Could Rise Up By End Of The Year!

The coronavirus pandemic has sent the prophets of doom in the Church of God into a feeding frenzy lately. Death and damnation has been poured out upon the world. especially upon the United States. This virus is a wet dream come true for these guys. From James Malm to Bob Thiel, Dave Pack, and many others, this endless stream of "the end is here" scenarios have no end. The silliness these guys have been shouting gets crazier by the day.

Never to be left out, God's original favorite prophet Gerald Flurry, is now claiming that it could possibly happen by the end of this year!

Oh, noes!

You know the story.  The record has been stuck in this same groove for 50 some years now.

Europe will soon rise up with 10 nations, led by Germany, who will declare war upon the United States, decimating 1/3 of its population, another 1/3 will die from famine and disease, and the remaining citizens will be thrown into concentration camps or shipped off to Europe to be the slaves of Germany. This, of course, is after all true believers miraculously fly from all around the world into Jordan where the government will welcome everyone with open arms and will personally drive them to Petra where they will make the desert bloom again...after they finish fighting over just who will be in control.

In the meantime, James Malm will be in Pella all ticked off that only 10 of his followers decided to join him. With all of them elderly and infirm, who will put food on James table as he labors all day long reinterpreting the Bible?

And yet, COG prophets expect us to believe them when they all pussyfoot around with the "could be's" and "may be's."

One of the most important effects of the global panic over covid-19 has been almost overlooked. Europe’s response to the pandemic is accelerating the fulfillment of one of the most crucial end-time prophecies of your Bible!

The coronavirus is hastening the arrival of the prophesied Holy Roman Empire.

This church-state union has ruled Europe for centuries. But previous inquisitions, religious wars, crusades and the Holocaust have been a mere foreshadow of what the Bible calls the “Great Tribulation” (Matthew 24:21).

The Bible says 10 kings will rise in Europe in this end time, led by one overarching strongman. These kings will form the Holy Roman Empire.

The coronavirus pandemic is helping usher in these 10 kings!

We need to be thinking about these prophesied kings, who are rising now. As a result of the recent crisis, various European leaders have taken dictatorial measures. In several cases they have done so with direct approval from the Roman Catholic Church.

Many people have voiced fear that the recent crisis will destroy the European Union. But although it may look that way, Europe is in fact about to unite in a powerful way.

The Bible reveals that the EU is about to be pared down to a 10-nation superstate. This prophecy will be fulfilled very soon—I see biblical evidence of probably no more than two to four years, and perhaps even as soon as this year. Coronavirus and the Holy Roman Empire

Doug Winnail Wants You To Respect Those In Authority

It has to be rough being a Living Church of God Member and to be constantly told you are doing everything wrong. Every week it is something that they are failing to do right. I guess this is to be expected when the foundation of LCG is built upon law instead of grace. Sermon after sermon, week after week, magazine article after magazine article, it is always something that they need to be held accountable for. 

Respect for Authority: Today we live in a global society where respect for authority and for anyone in authority is in serious decline. Parents, teachers, politicians, policemen, church leaders, and heads of state are portrayed as liars, buffoons, and worse. While some cynicism and disrespect is deserved, much is fostered by an anti-authority attitude promoted by the media—which is directly influenced by the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:2). The Apostle Paul foretold that pride and disrespect for authority would be rampant at the end of the age (2 Timothy 3:1–5). The Apostle Peter predicted that presumptuous, self-willed false teachers would come, who “despise authority” and use deceptive words to malign (run down) the “way of truth” (2 Peter 2:1–10). The epistle of Jude (verse 8) offers a similar warning. This open disrespect for authority and those in authority is totally contrary to God’s instructions in His word. Moses wrote, “You shall not revile God, nor curse a ruler of your people” (Exodus 22:28). Solomon advised, “Do not curse the king, even in your thought” (Ecclesiastes 10:20). James warned, “Do not speak evil of one another” (James 4:11). The Apostle Paul wrote, “we urge you, brethren, to recognize [get to know, acknowledge, value, respect, defer to] those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves” (1 Thessalonians 5:12–13). The Scriptures also state that love and respect must be earned and maintained (1 Timothy 3:1–7; Proverbs 29:2). We look forward to the time when the proper use of and respect for authority will permeate the world.

Have a profitable Sabbath,

I am a simple teacher of godliness and have come to restore that which has been lost and to reveal new truth....send me your money

Following is a post from our Chief Zealot of the church where he attempts to prove his special standing with his god to a leader of an African COG that asked the Chief Zealot some questions.

The church has a long history of men setting themselves up as agents of the creature god they follow, as if personally sent by it, to set the church back on track or to fulfill some end-times apocalyptic scenario.

Jesus wrote that a man of God is known by his fruits (Mat 7) and Moses wrote that a man of God is known by his fidelity to godliness (Deu 13, 17). I find that some today make claims of being prophets, apostles etc only to impress people to follow themselves, saying in so many words “I am a prophet, so follow me.”

Like any end-time prophet in the Church of God, Chief Pharisee and Zealot James Malm believes he has been sent by his god to restore all things lost, hold the brethren accountable, and to enforce slavery to the law upon his tens of followers.

I have not been ordained by any man; I am a simple teacher of godliness sent by God because so many men ordained by other men have gone astray. I have restored much that has been lost over time, revealed or further explained much that is new, told the truth to all, openly rebuked sin and called all people to embrace and love God enough to live by every Word of God.

However, I loath the deceit of those who make grand personal claims to impressive titles to collect personal followings and I do not want anyone to follow me, I want people to follow and embrace God and his Word. Therefore I have never claimed to be a prophet or any such thing.

The bullshit meter went off the charts here. He is so filled with vanity, like Bob Thiel,  that all of his posts are about him and what he has come to reveal as "truth." It is never about Jesus, but him and the law.

I am a student of the scripture continually learning and growing in knowledge and understanding. I do share what I learn and I do not hesitate to rebuke sin so I would agree that I am a teacher of godliness, I would also admit to watching and reporting on the ebb and flow of events and in that sense I am a watchman; but I will not misuse titles to deceive people as so many do.

As for financial support, everything that I say is provided freely and all of our literature is also provided for free download here, any support that I receive is given voluntarily, and believe me it is not nearly enough and expenses are usually higher than contributions, eroding my life’s savings. This is a work of love not a money making enterprise.

Except, that is, for the books he feels are so vital that people will pay to download them on Zulu and pay him a fee. He also expects his tens of followers to support him as he refuses to actively go to work.

This effort involves many thousands of hours of hard work to which I have devoted myself full time for years and it is written that the laborer is worthy of his hire; even Paul sponsored certain Nazarites in their vow to dedicate themselves to godliness (Acts 21:23-26), setting an example that we might do likewise and support those who have dedicated themselves in service to God.

In fact the true priesthood is the spirit High Priesthood of Melchizedek [Jesus Christ] and the Levitical priesthood was replaced by Jesus Christ when the spirit High Priesthood of Melchizedek was restored after Christ’s resurrection.

True there is no physical temple at this time, however there is a spiritual temple which must be served 1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Those who serve in the temple whether in the physical or the spiritual temple have a right to a modest living by their service. 1 Corinthians 9:13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
James

Open your wallets suckers!  It is his anyway!  As the watchman of god he deserve to be supported. Even by low-income African followers.
