Juneteenth, Galveston TX and Bob Thiel

 

God is an amazing dude! He inspired our most highly favored Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel to pick Galveston, Texas as the site of his Feast of Tabernacles for 2024. Who said that miracles never happen anymore!

Galveston was where the US Government enforced the ending of slavery in Texas. Since Bob Thiel is the greatest prophet the church has ever seen and the Feast of Tabernacles portrays the millennium, it is only logical that the two greatest things in the church can be tied in with the emancipation of slaves in Texas.

U.S. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, a declaration following the end of the Civil War that legally freed more than three million enslaved Blacks in Confederate States. But not all slaves were free because the proclamation could not be implemented in parts of the southern United States. 

 

To enforce the proclamation, Union Army Major General Gordon Granger marched into Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, to issue the “General Order Number 3,” which ended the enslavement of Blacks in Texas. The mandate freed an estimated 250,000 slaves two-and-half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. 

 

“White Texans knew the Civil War was [over] and slavery was banned, but they didn’t tell their slaves the war was over for years [in order] to continue to get free labor out of them,” said Holland. “Juneteenth is when the lie ended and federal forces showed up to enforce the new federal law saying slavery was illegal in the United States.” 

 

While Juneteenth is celebrated as the end of slavery, the practice of involuntary servitude continued briefly in the states of Delaware and Kentucky. On December 6, 1865, ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution abolished slavery in the United States. US Observes Juneteenth National Holiday

The Great Self-appointed Prophet to the Church of God, the Great Bwana to Africa had this to say 

Racial discrimination is a problem in many societies. 

 

Liberation from oppression is a good thing. 

 

Whether an additional holiday will help is a matter of debate. The real solution is the Kingdom of God. 

 

Notice that Juneteenth occurred in Galveston, Texas. As it turns out, that is the city that the Continuing Church of God has a contract with to have the Feast of Tabernacles (which portrays the millennial kingdom of God) in 2024. 

 

Jesus came to proclaim that liberty:

1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,

Because the Lord has anointed Me

To preach good tidings to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives,

And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,

And the day of vengeance of our God;

To comfort all who mourn, (Isaiah 61:1-2) 

 

God has a plan which will result in people of every nation and race being saved:

9…I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” (Revelation 7:9-10) 

 

God has a plan where people of every nation will be able to rule:

9…You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood

Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; 

And we shall reign on the earth. (Revelation 5:9-10) 

 

God has a plan where “all flesh shall see the salvation of God” (Luke 3:6):

21 And it shall come to pass

That whoever calls on the name of the Lord

Shall be saved. (Acts 2:21)

1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:1-4). 

 

God has a fantastic plan.

Yes, God does. Thankfully it does not involve Bob Thiel in this as some significant personality in the kingdom, nor even leading people to a place of final training before that kingdom arrives.

Galveston might want to rethink having the improperly named "continuing" Church of "god" holding their little convention there.  Since we have all been conditioned by COG propaganda to expect Satan to be angry at Feast sites, Galveston unwittingly opened itself up for some dangerous hurricane activity.

Herbert Armstrong's Own Words Make Mincemeat Of Bob Thiel And His Fake Prophet Status

This video is from a pro-Herbert Armstrong site that uses HWA's own words in various video clips.

The interesting thing about this one is that it uses Herbert's own words to totally debunk and deflate the self-appointed prophets of the Church of God. Herbert calls out the over-inflated buffoons like Bob Thiel, Dave Pack, Gerald Flurry, Ron Weinland, and Alton Billingsley, to name a few.
