Bob Thiel: I Am Ready To Be One of the Two Witnesses

I find it fascinating to watch the mental deterioration of Bob Thiel.  I am sure he is a pleasant person to be around and is greatly loved by his family so I have to wonder how they are handling this new found prophet status and end time witnesses malarkey that he is engaged in. 

Bob writes today on his blog:

It needs to be understood that while I will accept the type of prophetic role that God anointed me to have (see also How To Determine If Someone is a True Prophet of God), and it is possible that I may end up being one of the two witnesses (see Who Are The Two Witnesses? ), I have never stated that I was one of the two witnesses. If that is God's plan for me, that will be clear around the start of the Great Tribulation--which is probably at least four years away (see When Will the Great Tribulation Begin?).

E.W. King Prophecies Coming True

E. W. is gloating on his blog that the nightmare he had a few weeks about about something big falling from the sky has come true!  It appears a plane crashed in Russia and killed its passengers.  Kings prophecy has come true.....100% accurate so far?..............coincidence?....inspired dreaming?.....ho hum....

In a recent dream that I shared I stated that a “big” plane would “fall” from the sky. I saw a “bird” or “birds” fall with it. The birds represent a small amount of people. I published this dream on December 15,2012 [click to read] and we find out in the news today [12-29-12] that a Russian passenger plane landed too fast and crashed killing eight people.

We read in the news:

"A Russian airliner broke into pieces after it slid off a runway and crashed on to a highway outside Moscow, killing four of the 12 crew on board and leaving chunks of fuselage on the icy road.

 The crash during peak holiday travel before Russia's new year's vacation, which runs from Sunday until 9 January, cast a spotlight on Russia's poor air-safety record despite President Vladimir Putin's calls to improve controls.

 Television footage showed the Tupolev Tu-204 jet in pieces, with smoke billowing from the tail end and the cockpit broken off the front.

 One witness told state channel Rossiya-24 he saw a man thrown from the plane as it rammed into the barrier of the highway outside Vnukovo airport, south-west of the capital, and another described pulling other people from the wreckage."

This is the beginning of what I called “The Marker”. Russia is mentioned in Bible prophecy. Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong stated: “There is a general agreement among students of prophecy that ‘Gog’ in the land of ‘Magog’ is the vast regions of northern Eurasia extending from the Baltic to the Pacific. ‘Meshech’ is Moscow, ‘Tubal’ is Tobolsk. The Bible margin says ‘Prince of Rosh’, which is Russia.” [Plain Truth, April 1981]

Geoff Neilson: HWA and GTA Soon To Be Resurrected To Be Two Witnesses

Geoff has been predicting this would happen for many years.  He posted again today that HWA and GTA will both be resurrected to serve as the Two Witnesses.  Geoff is not an isolated case that believes this.  There are still many in the COG that believe HWA will be resurrected for a final witness.

Note how Revelation 11:1-3 closely follows 10:11,
which indicates that a prophet in the endtime
who had already prophesied to royalty and many nations
MUST DO SO AGAIN.

This can't refer to some supposed Elijah who arrives
at the start of the great Tribulation,
never having prophesied before.

If Herbert W. Armstrong was the apostle to the 6 th church,
by definition he is one of the Two Witness prophets.
There aren't 8th and 9th church/lampstands.
Nor an 8th and 9th messenger.

HWA being the 6th, I deduce that GTA must be the 7th.
He brought more people into the Church than anyone except his father,
and probably was responsible for more becoming Laodicean than anyone else.
Besides, Mr Herbert Armstrong's views about Zerubbabel and Joshua
lend credence to that view;
and to be fulfilled both HWA and GTA must return.

The issue of the difference between Philadelphians and Laodiceans
would most visibly be resolved if GTA came back and
acknowledged the God-given authority of his father,
which would influence many Laodiceans to repent during
the Tribulation.

The Two Witnesses are empowered supernaturally.
Being resurrected (back to mortality)
is not far fetched, nor without precedent in Scripture.
Maybe one reason God gets especially HWA to return
is because of this prophecy in Isaiah 22:29-30

Prophet Bob Thiel's Beef With Living Church of God

Part of prophet Bob Thiel's beef with Charlotte is his dispute with Doug Winnail over wording and phrases used in sermons and in the LCG literature.

Prophet Bob has this to say about Winnail:

In the oral portion of the sermon, Dr. Winnail repeatedly claimed that the USA was established as a Christian nation, the majority of the founders of the USA were Christians, that Christians started nearly all the initial universities, etc. Not "so-called Christians," but "Christians." Does the Living Church of God really wish to claim that Protestants and/or Catholics are Christian? Is this what LCG means to teach? This seems to go against many of your earlier statements and writings. While Dr. Winnail likely did not mean so, why was this allowed to go out in a "must-play" carefully scripted presentation?

Prophet Thiel is also ticked that certain folk in Charlotte thought he (Thiel) was going to bring undue persecution on the LCG:

That Philadelphians should expect persecution (Daniel 11:28-35; Revelation 12:13-14) and not excessively pull-back proclamation to avoid it (I was specifically told that some, who I will not mention now by name, were afraid I, Bob Thiel, could trigger end time persecution, despite the fact that they also specifically teach that the Philadelphians will be persecuted).

That undue persecution is a result of the wandering mind of prophet Bob.  Prophet Bob feels is prophetic utterances are worthy of the LCG promoting.  Because they refused to promote all of prophet Bob's utterances as truth, he has chosen to separate himself from LCG.  Apparently prophets still are without honor in their own churches.

Prophet Bob is also not happy that LCG has given short notice to his books on Mayan prophecy and Obama.  Prophet Thiel still think his books are the worlds foremost authority on its topics.  Even the Catholics are too stupid to understand what he wrote.

Prophet Thiel still is really hung up on football.  This will be a doctrinal statement and belief of the Continuing Ed Church of God.  Members, especially children of members, will not be allowed to play tackle football.  Football will become a major sin in this new personality cult.

Do not believe that any in the ministry should promote the sport of American Football (the Bible, in Romans 13:9-10 clearly teaches "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law"). HWA also specifically warned against this violent sport. There are other "love" issue matters.

All blame for the rise of the Continuing Ed Church of God lies squarely on the shoulders of Rod Meredith and Doug Winnail.  To go around and encourage a member that they were doing prophetic things and to keep telling him he had a gift of prophecy was appallingly stupid.  LCG deserves whatever flack they receive from prophet Thiel's escapades.
