Elijah/Elisha Is In Our Midst. Why Does Everyone Ignore Him?

 

The summer heat is hitting California with a vengeance and it has apparently fried the brain of our greatest Church of God leader since Paul walked the hills of the Mediterranean. This modern-day Elisha wanna-be is not the first to hit the scene in COGland, as there have been countless other men proclaiming the same delusional nonsense. All of them self-appointed themselves just like our current Elisha has, even though he claims he was doubly blessed by Gaylyn Bonjour of the Living Church of God to be the end time Elisha/Elijah/Habakkuk/Amos/Joshua/john the Baptist/Elijah/Chief Overseer/prophet/apostle and one of the two witless witnesses. Despite all of these self-proclaimed titles, the entire Church of God looks at him with derision and mild amusement at the sheer stupidity that continues to emerge from him.

He is back whining about being Elisha and everyone ignoring him.

Elijah, however, over time seemed to have lost the mental/emotional ability to properly lead (cf. 1 Kings 19:13-18). God later took him and replaced him with Elisha as the top ecclesiastical authority. Elisha then received a “double-portion” (two-portion literally) of the gift that God had given Elijah:

9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?”

Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”

10 So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” 11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces. 13 He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. (2 Kings 2:9-13) 

 

The recipient of the double-portion promise, Elisha, was a type of Elijah. Elisha picked up the mantle of Elijah (2 Kings 2:13) which God wanted him to have (1 Kings 19:16-19), did a similar miraculous dry river crossing (2 Kings 2:13-14), also did other miracles (2 Kings 4:30-35; 2 Kings 10:5-14; 2 Kings 6:16-18), as he replaced Elijah as God’s top ecclesiastical authority on earth (cf. 1 Kings 19:16). 

 

A minister of the Living Church of God prayed and anointed Bob Thiel for a ‘double portion’ of God’s Spirit back in late 2011 and told him that was reminiscent of what happened to Elisha. He also confirmed that God answered that prayer when we met in November 2019. He has since died.

Notice how the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu has stopped using Gaylyn Bonjour's name? After it was revealed that Bonjour had no intention with his blessing for Bob to use it as an excuse to start a new splinter cult, the Great Bwana stopped using his name. The entire LCG minister has pointed out over and over that Bob is disingenuous when it comes to the endless stream of excuses he makes in trying to legitimize himself. 

Jesus, Himself, confirmed that John the Baptist, who is not recorded to have done any of the miracles of Elijah, fulfilled an Elijah role:

12 But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist. (Matthew 17:12-13) 

 

So, the Bible tells of two Elijahs who were here thousands of years ago. 

 

But Jesus told of another Elijah to come after He left:

11 Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things.” (Matthew 17:11)

I'll give you one guess as to who this Elijah to come is. Just one! It's Dave Pack! Oh, wait, I'm sorry, It's Ron Weinland! Oh, wait, It's Gerald Flurry! Oh, wait! It's Alton Billingsley! Oh, wait! It's the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel! Whew! Woo Hoo!

The Great Bwana Elisha/Elijah Bob continues:

The Church of God position has been that someone would come in the spirit and power of Elijah to “restore all things” and possibly be one of the two witnesses. While the late Herbert W. Armstrong (who died in January 1986) sometimes indicated that he fulfilled that role, he told people, that I have personally spoken with, that there could be another other than he. Those with a WCG background might find the following quote from Herbert W. Armstrong of some assistance here as he wrote:

Those called into the Church were called not merely for salvation and eternal life, but to learn the way of God’s government and develop the divine character during this mortal life in the Church age… 

 

Also Malachi 4:5-6 pictures the Elijah to come at the very end of the Church age (Mystery of the Ages. 1985, pp. 201, 349).

I can state with 100% accuracy that Herbert Armstrong was not referring to Bob Thiel. There is no way on this green earth that HWA would have ever ordained the Great Bwana Bob. The Worldwide Church of God refused to ordain him. Global Church of God refused to ordain him, and the Living Church of God refused to ordain him. The Great Bwana Bob is a blasphemous illegitimate self-appointed upstart.

He ends his article with another set of outright lies:

Now since the Church age has not ended, and the Day of the Lord has not yet come, then it follows that Elijah was to come on the scene publicly after this was written. His restoring of “all things” means that he is to be restoring information that the true Church of God once understood, but later must have lost or misunderstood. 

 

Now, I should add that RCG’s David Pack is NOT the prophesied end-time Elijah despite his claims about it–he has NOT restored the truth and is confused/wrong on many points. 

 

Those of the true and genuine Philadelphian remnant will pay much attention to the voice of the true final Elijah. Those who do not will not fare as well as they could (cf. Revelation 12:14-17). 

 

We in the Continuing Church of God have also a more sure word of prophecy; “whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts” (2 Peter 1:19, KJV).”

The fact is, the improperly named "continuing" church of a lesser god is in no manner, shape, or form the Philaldphian remnant. This is an indisputable fact.

The improperly named "continuing" church of a lesser god no more has the sure word of prophecy than Dave Pack and Gerald Flurry do. They are all liars just like the Great Bwana Bob.

People in COGland need to stop placing their trust in the deceitful lying men claiming to be their leaders and place their trust in the One they are supposed to be following. 

How long do we have to wait for the end time Elisha to call out the she-bears to attack his persecutors?

 

False Prophet Warns Us About That Other False Prophet

 

Dave Pack's ever-enlarging pile of false prophecies seems to have no end. Almost every day now there is some new revelation that only HE can understand, but if members look closely they too can see it. Then when they can't, he blames them for his epic failures. 

This brings us today to our other official false prophet of the church, the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel. God's greatest living human to ever exist in the history of humanity as he prepares the world for the soon-coming apocalypse.

He has a little tidbit up about Dave Pack:

People like David Pack were warned about long ago:

1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. (2 Peter 2:1-3) 

Yes, you should not believe David Pack is a faithful leader as he has repeatedly born false witness.

The Two Battling Worldwide Church of God Entities

 

Satan and Simon Magus are MAD! I say MAD!!!!!!! Satan is particularly mad that the original Worldwide Church of God never went away as so many claim. He is even more ticked off to learn that every single splinter that he helped set up along with Simon Magus is now known to be false. How can that be????

As crafty as Satan is he has been foiled by the Kitchen family as they hold on to the truth once restored by the Holy Apostle. Satan has really ticked off lately by stirring up more family division turning brother against brother.

On July 10, Samuel wrote:

On another note, my brother added me back to my old YouTube Channels, and I've made those channels available again! ALL VIDEOS ARE BACK!!!!!

Today, July 17 Samuel writes:

So Tim kicked me off those channels again. 

 

I had until tomorrow to be primary owner again. Had to wait a week until I could remove Tim and be the primary owner again.

Tim took them back, while I was getting Bible study and Church services ready. Satan DOES NOT WANT IT.

SO, WE LOST THE CHANNELS AGAIN. I tried to call Tim, he refused to answer. 

All of this upheaval started a few weeks ago when another COG splinter group went and filled out paperwork claiming the name Worldwide Church of God as their own, usurping Samuel.

Some of you may recall Ron Stephens who was well known during the doctrinal changes for sending out memory sticks of WCG literature and sermons. It was called:

Given the fact that numerous other COG-related sites have proliferated over the years with far better sites and resources, most people have forgotten about Ron Stephens until recently, when he reared his head and went after Samuel Kitchen.

Samuel shared this information about Stephens regarding his persecution of the Kitchen family over the years and his recent filing of a trademark of the WCG name:

Concerning the trademark filed by Ron Stephens...

The original trademarks, as seen in the publications and productions of the Worldwide Church of God and Herbert W Armstrong, is what I have been sharing all along and emphasizing.

On my family's page, A Voice Cries Out- Herbert W Armstrong, I have been authoring article and publications where I discuss and use the name Worldwide Church of God for many many years. Before this, I have saved conversations, with many people concerning the Worldwide Church of God.

Sometime after 2010, Ron Stephens came to know the existence of my family's online work.

He had created "HWA Storehouse", a project based on Malachi 3 concerning the collection of God's Tithes and Offerings. Mr. Stephens was NOT, and I repeat again, NOT an ordained minister.

He based his project on a misinterpretation of the prophecy in the book of Amos, concerning the "famine of the hearing of the Word".

God says in His Word, HE WILL SEND A FAMINE, and people will search and shall not find.

Ron Stephens evoked the idea, that those who had a flashdrive could find it in their homes. Like a bomb shelter peddler, his work was to oppose the Word of God.

This is eerily similar to the doctrine of GTA who said the place of safety would be in the homes of church membership.

So after coming into the knowledge of my family's work, we soon approached him and warned him of the sin he was committing against the Church. He was robbing God's tithes and offerings and touching that which he was not permitted to touch.

It was soon after, he was received well by a Nigerian group, who my family caught stealing our videos. The Nigerian claimed to be the successor of Mr. Armstrong and that all videos produced by the Church was his to use as he saw fit.

He took Ron Stephens in, and ordained him an elder.

Sounds like the African scam that ordered Bob Thiel and currently now uses him for money and supplies. 

Immediately Ron Stephens filed and registered a trademark called "THE ORIGINAL WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD".

Now he filed a new trademark in February 2021, for "WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD (WCG)".

This was the time my family was being hit, with family members being murdered.

What would any COG story be without a grand conspiracy theory? After all, they seem to be the lifeblood of the church. Here is a dozy of one:

In January 2020, my father was approached by a man who claimed he worked for the CIA.

The man told my dad, that something was coming down the line of command against my family, and he wanted to let my dad know it wasn't personal, he was just following orders and doing so to protect his own family.

Six months later my grandmother was murdered in a hospital.

Six months after that my mother died.

Four months after that, my dad died.

For two months, my dad was laid up paralyzed. He had a hole at the base of his head which had caused him much pain and it got an infection.

The doctors he visited in the ER, was the same doctors that were involved with my grandmother. So when we went to the ER, my dad checked himself out.

The next ER visit, was in another town.

He was admitted and was staying the night. He was feeling better.

During that night, men in suits began to enter his room and leaving. My dad asked the night nurse who they were, and was told they were with the FBI and FEMA.

He began to lose motor functions and so my dad called me, and checked himself out again. Within several hours he was better. But still dealing with the paralysis.

It was at that time, he caught a staff infection at the hospital.

He eventually had to amputate his leg. He was flown down to Chandler, Arizona where they performed the operation and he never woke up.

It was during this time of trial, Ron Stephens was rushing towards the Trademark office to file for "WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD (WCG)".

His trademark was filed in defiance of the knowledge of my family. We had been using the name, been defending the name, and been sharing the old publications and productions of the Worldwide Church of God and Herbert W Armstrong.

But my family was being murdered and taken out of the way. We were a threat to the system. And with my dad out of the way, the name seemed to be easy picking for Ron Stephens.

True COG members around the world need to STAND UP and defend the Kichen family! 

Those from the Worldwide Church of God, who was with Mr. Armstrong needs to stand up and defend us.

This new trademark is being used to attack this work.

It is also being used to ATTACK any man who may return to the ministry of the Worldwide Church of God.

Aaron Dean to the rescue, IF and only IF he repents of being in the United Church of God and returns to the one true faith. 

That's why I look at the original ordained ministry for assistance. Especially Aaron Dean. He can secure the original usage if he repented and stepped up. This will put an end to the destruction of the Worldwide Church of God and aid in the restoration of the Worldwide Church of God.

Because the documents show Aaron Dean there with Mr. Armstrong. The publications show a ministry. They show a church.

And if they shut down this work, they are doing so to take over and to fully destroy the Church. Any YouTube channel, any website is under threat! 

YouTube recently shut down Samuel's video site where he had posted hudnreds of HWA and WCG-related sermons and videos. This could have been instigated by Ron Stephens.

Samuel writes:

The deletion of the Worldwide Church of God Youtube Channel(@officialworldwidechurchofgod), that happened a day ago, was just another attack by Satan the Devil, the great HINDERER.

This matter on the Youtube website, is based on TRADEMARK LAW. It is a CIVIL MATTER on RELIGIOUS THINGS.

And while it is easy to expose this fake claim made by opposing parties to a reasonable human being, Youtube runs on automation.

Therefore people can THRUST a civil action against the Church, in order to SUPPRESS and HINDER our standing on the Youtube platform and cause damage before human intervention.

Are we realizing the time is at hand where RELIGIOUSLY POWERED PEOPLE ARE ENGAGING IN CIVIL ACTIONS AGAINST THIS CHURCH, as foretold in God's Word? I am waiting a decision from YouTube, as I appealed their decision, but we are now hindered!

Right now, until I can reach a human being, the uploading of the Bible Studies and Church Services has been paused.

The way that YouTube has it, is a system where these dissidents can launch civil action(reports) against us, and cause a great deal of damage before someone at Youtube will intervene, if they ever will intervene. Do we risk the damage? We are NOW being HINDERED like never before!

Now, someone is claiming a NEW TRADEMARK, and claiming to be the Worldwide Church of God by use of the new trademark. They are claiming "exclusive usage", by going after us.

In 2021 Stephens applied to register the name Worldwide Church of God as a trademark he owns.

Kitchen wrote on July 10:

If you look at the Trademark Office, on Ronnie D. Stephens new trademark(#90542251), he applied for CLASS 016 with description "Printed publications, namely, brochures, booklets, and teaching materials in the field of Religious, Social and Historical archived materials pertaining to the original teachings of the Worldwide Church of God and its founder Herbert W. Armstrong."

This was later removed.

He also applied for CLASS 045 with description "Religious and spiritual services, namely, conducting religious worship, marriage ceremonies, baptismal ceremonies, baby dedications, bereavement ceremonies, and religious counseling".

This CLASS was kept.

This is an attack on the MINISTRY.

Please pray for this brethren. Perhaps we can plea with the Trademark office, and explain this FRAUD, and have the trademark placed into the hands of a minister who is ON THE Pre-1986 ROSTER of the Worldwide Church of God, such as Mr. Aaron Dean?

The original publications, and productions of the Worldwide Church of God and Herbert W. Armstrong, is inclusive to Mr. Aaron Dean. He is included!

How do we know? The record shows! Ronnie D Stephens wants people to accept his fraud. The record he wants to OWN, exposes the fraud.

So maybe, we ought to pray and fast about this brethren. Let the true ministry of the Worldwide Church of God handle the wolves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This will be interesting to see how this all plays out since Grace Communion International holds the copyright to the WCG name. Though I imagine they could care less.
