Wade Cox: Abib 2028 Is The Start Of Fictitious Millennium

Is Wade Cox canoodling with Dave Pack? Both of these blithering idiots claim that in Abib, the millennium will be established. It's like the movie Dumb and Dumber, but we get to experience it in real life. Why are today's COG leaders such imbecilic fools?

In the not too distant future NATO will mishandle the situation with the Islamists and they will be forced into the wars of the Fifth and Sixth Trumpet. They will be forced to occupy the Middle East from the military conflict and Russia and China through their intransigence and manipulation of the Security Council. They will occupy Jerusalem with their administration from the Mediterranean Coast to Jerusalem. The False Prophet and the Antichrist will take up residence and as soon as they do God will send Elijah and Enoch to Jerusalem.

 

In that period of 1260 days Judah will be brought to repentance and then the Witnesses will be killed by this demonic beast system. Then the Messiah will come 3.5 days after they are killed and their bodies lie in the streets of Jerusalem.

 

In this period from the wars in the Middle East from 2013 to the return of the Messiah and afterwards to 2024, the entire world will be brought to repentance. Islam is still unrepentant following a false calendar and destroying the teachings of the Koran and ignoring the Laws of God as given to the patriarchs and to Moses and the elders of Israel. They distort the faith with the lies of the Hadith and the traditions of pagans. They mutilate their women and treat them like dogs. They revel in ignorance and brutality. They kill innocent men, women and children. Their violence is unabated and they are unrepentant and false sworn at the end of this 40 years allocated to them to repent.

 

God is about to bring the final wars of the end upon them and He will bring them to the Messiah and to repentance with fire and sword and with diseases and pestilence. The Middle East will not rest now until Shiloh comes and then only after their repentance and inclusion in the plan of God. Firstly, Elijah and Enoch will come to them and restore the Laws of God among them and the calendar and the proper system of worship, or they will die. Everyone that bothers themselves with Jerusalem will die. Gaza and Lebanon and Syria will face war and occupation and the NATO powers will come against Russia and China. Then they will return to Jerusalem and occupy Gaza and Jerusalem and Lebanon and Syria for 42 months. Only Jordan will escape out of their hands. They will control all of Egypt and also from Libya to the Atlantic and from Suez to the mountains of Ethiopia and to Somalia. They will have destroyed all of the powers of the Middle East to Russia prior to that period. Then they will face the Messiah. Their religious systems will be thrown down and their governments and administrations will also be destroyed and they will be brought to repentance. Then the whole world will send their representatives to Jerusalem each year at Atonement and they will celebrate Tabernacles and be instructed in their obligations of the coming year from year to year (Zech. 14:16-19). If they do not keep the Laws of God and His sacred calendar they will die (cf. also Isa. 66:23). 

 

The wars will now escalate over the period 2013-2024. In 2025 God has promised the treble harvest of the sixth year of the Seventh Cycle prior to the Jubilee of the Seventh Sabbath at Atonement on to the Atonement of the Jubilee year in 2027. In 2027 from the Last Great Day in the Seventh Month all lands will be allocated according to the plan of God for the 1000 years of the Millennium which will begin its first sacred year from the New Moon of Abib 2028. That is Scripture and Scripture cannot be broken (Jn. 10:34-36).

AI COG: Dropping the Baton - Blind Splinters Sprinting Solo: The Race That Lost Its Way

Dropping the Baton

Blind Splinters Sprinting Solo: The Race That Lost Its Way

In May 1986, months after Herbert W. Armstrong’s death, the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) published "Passing the Baton" in The Good News Magazine. The article announced Joseph W. Tkach as Armstrong’s divinely chosen successor, framing the transition as a relay race with biblical roots—Moses to Joshua, Elijah to Elisha, Christ to Peter. It promised continuity for "the Work" of proclaiming God’s Kingdom (Matthew 24:14). Yet, when Tkach later led the WCG into mainstream Christianity, shedding Armstrong’s doctrines, splinter groups like the United Church of God, Philadelphia Church of God, and Church of God, The Eternal broke away, claiming to preserve the "true faith." In rejecting Tkach, they didn’t just challenge his leadership—they dropped the baton. The Bible offers no precedent for rival temples or priesthoods when the appointed strays, raising a stark question: if Armstrong was God’s servant, why defy his authority?

The Baton Passed—and Rejected

"Passing the Baton" portrays Armstrong as a modern Moses, guiding his flock toward spiritual victory. Tkach, his Joshua, was handpicked under divine guidance: "God led Mr. Armstrong to see leadership qualities in Mr. Tkach," echoing Moses’ selection of Joshua (Deuteronomy 31:14). The article vows acceleration: "Once the baton is received… there is a speeding up." Tkach committed to Armstrong’s revelations, tasked with advancing the race.

But Tkach’s path diverged. By the 1990s, he jettisoned Sabbath-keeping, British Israelism, and non-Trinitarianism for evangelical norms. To many, this was apostasy, a betrayal of the Philadelphia era (Revelation 3:7-13). Splinter groups formed, each asserting itself as the "true remnant." They branded Tkach a fallen runner, but did their exodus align with the biblical pattern they championed?

No Precedent for Rival Temples

Scripture, the Armstrongists’ claimed foundation, shows God working through appointed leaders—flawed or not—without endorsing rival factions. When Israel’s priests corrupted the Temple, Jeremiah didn’t build another; he demanded reform (Jeremiah 7:1-11). The northern kingdom’s rival altars at Bethel were denounced as idolatry (1 Kings 12:28-33), with God’s covenant tied to Jerusalem’s Temple, faults included. Elijah, paralleled to Armstrong in the article, didn’t start a new Israel—he confronted the apostate one (1 Kings 18). Joshua built on Moses’ legacy, not against it (Joshua 24:31). Peter’s imperfections didn’t spark rival apostles; Christ upheld him (Matthew 16:18). The pattern is reform, not schism.

The splinter groups might argue Tkach’s shifts nullified his authority, but "Passing the Baton" insists God chose him, as He did Armstrong’s biblical forerunners. Rejecting Tkach required biblical justification for starting anew. None exists.

Church of God, The Eternal: A Case in Point

Consider Church of God, The Eternal, founded by Raymond Cole in 1975 after resisting WCG doctrinal changes, now led by Jon Brisby. This group holds Herbert W. Armstrong as "God’s end-time servant," uniquely chosen to restore truth. Yet, if Armstrong was divinely appointed, his selection of Tkach—announced with confidence in 1986—carries that same authority. Cole and Brisby’s refusal to submit to Tkach, even amid perceived apostasy, contradicts their own logic. Moses didn’t abandon Israel when it strayed; he led it back. Elijah didn’t forsake his post. If Armstrong’s baton-passing was God-ordained, splitting off defies the very succession they revere. Their stance implies Armstrong’s authority was conditional—yet Scripture shows God’s chosen endure, not abandon, wayward flocks.

The Cost of Dropping the Baton

The splinter churches’ rejection of Tkach fractured Armstrongism. "Passing the Baton" envisioned a unified Work racing forward. Instead, groups like the United Church of God (tens of thousands), Philadelphia Church of God (thousands), and Church of God, The Eternal (hundreds) cling to dwindling remnants, bickering over the "true" baton. The WCG, now Grace Communion International, thrives in mainstream circles—suggesting the race persisted where succession held. The splintering mirrors Israel’s post-Solomon split: rival altars weakened, not saved, the mission. By dividing the baton, they stalled the Work they swore to advance.

A Call to Action: Follow or Forsake

If Armstrong was God’s end-time servant, as these groups profess, his authority—including his choice of Tkach—demands obedience, per biblical precedent. Leaders and members of the splinter churches must put their money where their mouth is: submit to the succession Armstrong established, despite Tkach’s changes, as Joshua did with Moses’ legacy. Reform from within, as Scripture models, not split. If they can’t, they must admit they’re crafting their own religion, co-opting Armstrong’s name without his mantle. Clinging to a fabricated Armstrongism—neither honoring his authority nor abandoning his shadow—is a half-measure. Either follow the baton fully or forsake it entirely and start anew. Anything less mocks the race they claim to run.

Conclusion

"Passing the Baton" was a plea to trust God’s hand in leadership transitions, rooted in biblical examples. When Tkach redirected the WCG, the splinter groups didn’t just reject him—they dropped the baton, defying the succession they laud Armstrong for establishing. Scripture offers no model for rival temples when the appointed falters, only a call to endure and restore. Church of God, The Eternal and others face a reckoning: if Armstrong was God’s servant, his baton demands loyalty—or they must confess they’ve abandoned his race for their own. The Work lies divided, its runners scattered, the finish line farther than ever.
