Dennis Luker Sets The Record Straight



From Dennis Luker:


Dear ministers and home office staff,

As you might expect, when organizations experience what the United Church of God is going through right now with my serious illness, rumors often start flying. This has already begun to happen and various inaccurate reports are circulating online—including that our Council of Elders chairman, Robin Webber, has taken over as UCG president.

Robin and I can assure you that he has not taken over as president. However, LeeAnn and I do plan to return to our home in the state of Washington to pursue treatment for my health condition. This will also enable us be close to our family during that time. Should things change with me health-wise, please remember that in our bylaws we have a tried and true, established process to provide a smooth transition of leadership. Otherwise and God willing, I anticipate continuing as president as my health permits until my term expires on June 30. 

We appreciate your prayers and concern beyond words and will swiftly communicate any major news or changes to you. Thank you to each of you for your faithful service to Jesus Christ and His brethren! It gives us great comfort during this very difficult health trial to know that you are there keeping up the good fight of faith.

With love in Christ,
Dennis Luker

Prophet Thiel: God Will Not Use LCG For The End Time Work



Did you know that when the non-ordained self-appointed prophet left the Living Church of God that the LCG started deteriorating?  Was the LCG only being held together by the presences of the greatest prophet ever?  When he removed himself from the church did that start its sudden decline?

Non-ordained prophet Thiel thinks so!  The prophet uses two of Meredith's latest member letters to prove his point:

02/23/13 a.m. Ever since I had to leave the Living Church of God and form the Continuing Church of God, LCG has experienced a variety of problems. Here are some comments from two recent letters from Dr. Meredith:
Even since my last message to you indicating that we have some serious problems and weaknesses here at Headquarters, I have received word from Mr. Gerald Weston that—like at Headquarters—Satan appears to be striking directly at the television area in Canada. Because we do not have enough “Canadian content,” we are being put off of our third best station there. Also, because of “doctrinal differences,” we are being put off of our second best station in Canada. Then, on top of that, our overwhelmingly major station in Canada, VISION Network, is in danger because of certain governmental regulations that are being changed.

The “prince of the power of the air” is striking directly at the major center of our media efforts in God’s Work today—our television program!...
We will deeply appreciate your fervent prayers, dear brethren, that God will intervene and help us do everything we can do and should do so that He can bless us and deliver us in all these situations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Within the last few weeks, the income for this Work has dropped somewhat, and a spiritual malaise has appeared to set in among a number of people...
Dear brethren, this Work will carry on with increasing power as it always has—if we do our part. (Letter, 2/14/13)
Meredith blames Satan for LCG's troubles and prophet Thiel blames their compromising of the gospel message in Canada to fit the rules of the censors.

The non-ordained prophet talks about a letter that Meredith sent to him personally this past week.  The non-ordained prophet had this to say to Meredith:

Perhaps I should mention that Dr. Meredith did send me an unusual email this week, and in my reply, I told him that "without changes, I do not believe that LCG can possibly be the group that God will use to complete the final phase of the work. I have totally committed myself to support the Philadelphian end time work of God, which is why, to a great degree because of steps you did and did not take, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) had to be formed."
Prophet Bob continues to show his bitterness to Meredith and LCG.  The prophet then sticks the knife in further with this:

Maybe those in LCG should realize that God may not be giving that group as much favor anymore? LCG no longer truly leads God's work. Hopefully, possibly because of its fast today, some will be better able to reflect on that.


The Non-Ordained Prophet Thiel/Guttenberg Bromance Heats Back Up



It is great to see that the bromance between the non-ordained prophet Thiel  and Baron Guttenberg is still going strong.  The non-ordained prophet has been awfully silent about the good Baron for several months.  I guess the non-ordained prophet was so busy starting his own splinter cult that the bromance went to the back burner.

The non-ordained prophet is seems to be slightly glad that the good Baron did not show up for a movie premier about his plagiarism scandal a few years ago. 

A comedic film about Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg premiered in Berlin last night.  But the Baron did not attend.

5 March 2013
“The Minister”: Guttenberg movie premiere – without Guttenberg…
the main character was missing: The former defense minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg (CSU) was away on Monday, as the much-anticipated television movie about his plagiarism scandal in Berlin premiere…
In the film, Baron Guttenberg is publicly being made fun of.

As regular readers know, I have wondered if former German Defense Minister Baron Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg was a candidate to possibly be the final King of the North of Daniel 11 and Beast of Revelation. The fact that he has had problems is consistent with biblical and other predictions.
He remains one to watch.
So why does the non-ordained prophet have such a fascination with the good Baron?  The non-ordained prophet feels that the good Baron fulfills the scripture about a soon coming man who is rejected by his peers.


Bible prophecy warns about a leader who was rejected who will rise up and lead Europe per Daniel 11:21-44. One verse to focus on is verse 21. Here are four translations of it from Catholic and Protestant sources:
21 And there shall stand up in his place one despised, and the kingly honour shall not be given him: and he shall come privately, and shall obtain the kingdom by fraud. (Daniel 11:21, Douay-Rheims)
21 “‘His place will be taken by a reject, a man spurned and passed over for advancement. He’ll surprise everyone, seemingly coming out of nowhere, and will seize the kingdom. (Daniel 11:21 from THE MESSAGE: The Bible in Contemporary Language © 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson. All rights reserved.)
21 And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries. (Daniel 11:21, ASV)
21 ‘And stood up on his station hath a despicable one, and they have not given unto him the honour of the kingdom, and he hath come in quietly, and hath strengthened the kingdom by flatteries. (Daniel 11:21, Young’s Literal Translation)
