Non Ordained Prophet Claims His Personalty Cult Will Be Persecuted For Not Wearing Crosses

It has long been known that the non-ordained self-appointed prophet Bob Thiel has an intense hatred of the cross.  No one can forget the absurd comments he made after the Milwaukee LCG killings  when local citizens erected crosses in honor of the murdered LCG members.  The non-ordained prophet went ballistic damning the concerned citizens of blasphemy and insensitivity towards the LCG.  LCG backpedaled and apologized for Thiel's disgusting commetns and attitude.

The non-ordained self-appointed prophet is back claiming his cult members will be persecuted because they will not wear crosses when the Catholic Church issues its decree that all citizens of the world must wear crosses.

Jesus foretold persecution. Many are aware of some of the early persecutions, but few understand what teachings true Christians were persecuted for in the fourth century and beyond–some may seem shocking. At least two major persecutions are prophesied to come. Which doctrines are expected to be causes for the coming persecutions? Are the Greco-Roman churches planning on persecuting Sabbath-keepers, those who do not accept a non-biblical Mary, and those who do not wear crosses?

While many seem to not wish to pay attention to this subject, the reality is that persecution has existed throughout history against those with Church of God doctrines.  Jesus predicted that as well as more persecution to come.  Some may be shocked by certain doctrines that Christians have been persecuted for (and often by those who profess to be Christian).

Those in the true Church of God have always been the side being persecuted and has never been on the side of the persecutors.  And this will be true again in the future.

The only persecution the Church of God has experienced in the last 70 some years has been it's own hated of non-COG members.  It has publicly lied about,. mocked and ridiculed Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, and Jews for decades.  Any other persecution has come from fellow COG members and leaders who now are split into hundreds and hundreds of personality cults.  Each one claims it is the best and has the only truth as it ridicules other COG's. 

Dave Pack: My Church Is So Amazing "It will take your breath and leave your ears ringing."

Can Dave Pack's arrogance and pomposity get any bigger?  Check out the arrogant self-serving post he has written about himself.  The article he refers to is so mind numbingly stupid that you will sit in amazement at his sheer arrogance.  Yet, this fool thinks his message is so vitally important  that he says your salvation will be at risk if you ignore it!

According to the self-appointed apostle/prophet:

 "it will be the worst decision you have made since God called you. Believe this!"   He also makes the claim that every single COG member still alive, in or out of the COG will soon be brought back into the fold with Uncle Dave. 

Announced earlier, the most important and conclusive article I have written to the Worldwide Church of God splinters has been posted! I promise this will be the single most crucial one you will ever read. If you do not read it all, it will be the worst decision you have made since God called you. Believe this!

If there were just one book or article I have written that you could be compelled to read, this would be it. Start it, and you will almost certainly go on to read (and study) it multiple times!

God wants His people together. A detailed and powerful prophecy reveals that He is planning to bring it about. This article introduces how and why God’s people—every last one—will SOON be back together!
David C. Pack

Here is the world's most important article ever written, by the world's most important COG minister reigning over the worlds largest and most powerful COG ever to exist.

He starts the article off by making a veiled threat.  This is his LAST extensive article directed to the COG members.  Soon the end will be here and Uncle Dave and crew will be gone, so listen up boys and girls!

This article, my last extensive one to the offshoots of the Worldwide Church of God (WCG), reveals the part you control. (It also begins to prepare God’s people for a coming special, powerful prophecy, now underway, that God is guiding.)

Uncle Dave has this warning to all in LCG, COGWA, UCG and other splinter groups.  Listen to Uncle Dave or you will be lost forever!

If you are in the United Church of God (UCG), Living Church of God (LCG), Philadelphia Church of God (PCG), Church of God, a Worldwide Association (COGwa), or any other splinter or sliver that came out of the WCG, this will be the single most important article you will ever read. If you do not read it all, it will be the worst decision you have made since God called you. BELIEVE THAT!

All of you heretics in these groups need to take heed.  Your leaders will try and stop Uncle Dave from getting his message across to you.  They will attack Uncle Dave in sermons, articles and member letters.  Be prepared!

Your leaders will attack this article. In fact, they will do everything in their power to defeat its understanding out of desperation to keep you from acting on it!

Uncle Dave wants you to know that Jesus Christ has not hidden the RCG from you and its magnificence.  The RCG is a shining light in the gloomy darkness of the COG.:

Jesus Christ loves His people above all else. He would never leave them unable to know where is His Church, Work, Truth and Government. If He did, the question would forever remain for those who still cared about these greatest of matters, “Where do we go?” One man’s opinion would be as good as another.

If you are one of these former COG members who now no longer attend church anywhere and are disillusioned you had better wake up!  Uncle Dave is here to rescue you and bring you home to the one and only TRUE Church of God.

This article transcends and encompasses everything about your calling. If you are not IN God’s Church—however this might have come to be—you are headed toward losing God’s Spirit and eternal death! All hope of salvation is lost to you if you do not break free from confusion and return to the only Church built by Jesus Christ—to become a branch reconnected to the Vine (John 15:1-2, 4-5, 7). I repeat, the article proves this—conclusively!

Beware of anyone who criticizes or debunks Armstrongism.

Now note Mr. Armstrong’s summary: “You are an enemy” and “serving the devil”—minister or lay member!—if you are in any way scattering against God’s Church. Come to grips with why you may believe Mr. Armstrong was wrong. With so much at stake—very salvation!—be brutally honest. The wrong answer means paying the ultimate price.

Uncle Dave lists three points by HWA on why people come to the true Church.  If you do not believe HWA or Uncle Dave, then this is your destiny:

The stage has been set. You either do or do not believe the above three foundational points of truth. If you do not, and have no intention of returning to what you once believed, stop reading now. Your thinking has been permanently overthrown and the article cannot help you. If you do believe them, then buckle down and focus because now it gets serious!

Uncle Dave's jesus christ has a phone!  Does yours?  If your COG has a Jesus christ with no phone then run out the door!

The Greek word for “voice” is phone (fo-NAY’). Telephone derives from it. Like most today, Christ has a phone, and like all people who have one, He uses it. But, just as some do not answer their phone or a knock at their door, some will not answer Christ when He calls them from danger. Think of suspense movies when someone is calling another person warning of kidnappers or intruders seeking to bring harm, and the phone ringing without being answered. Christ calls His sheep through His Spirit in them—leading them, using each person’s name.  

Uncle Dave just cannot understand why people continue to follow COG leaders in other groups:.  He has this to say to you:

Also ask: How could one continue to knowingly follow strangers—false ministers who teach wrong doctrines and oppose God’s Work—and keep the Spirit of Christ? Scripture makes plain that brethren who follow false ministers cannot retain God’s Spirit indefinitely. TIME IS RUNNING OUT. If you read this article and “put off” following Christ’s voice—decide that you can ignore it for a time—ask why Christ should extend you more mercy than the many years He has already allowed.

Apparently Jesus Christ is going to get really pissed off if you read Uncle Dave's letter and do nothing about it.  You have had since 1996 to get your act together. Jesus Christ is not going to wait any more for you!

 Also ask: How could one continue to knowingly follow strangers—false ministers who teach wrong doctrines and oppose God’s Work—and keep the Spirit of Christ? Scripture makes plain that brethren who follow false ministers cannot retain God’s Spirit indefinitely. TIME IS RUNNING OUT. If you read this article and “put off” following Christ’s voice—decide that you can ignore it for a time—ask why Christ should extend you more mercy than the many years He has already allowed.

The arrogant fool lays out these stipulations that HIS christ demands:

Not a respecter of persons, Christ gives every Christian the same choice. It’s follow or rebel. There are no other alternatives. Stay simple. Let’s use our imagination by picturing a “conversation” between Christ and any person with His Spirit who is outside His Church—meaning every person in every WCG splinter or sliver existing today. Some will follow. But others will not. We examine the latter:

First, Christ through His Spirit commands, “[Name], return to My one Church.” The person answers, “No. I’m going to continue following a stranger.”

Christ next commands, “Come back under My government.” The reply? “No. I refuse. I will never follow one leader again. I like my freedom.”

Christ then directs, “Start paying My tithes to the only place I am working. They belong to ME.” The answer? “No! I’m paying them to the organization I attend, even though they are led by those who are against you. It’s my choice.”

Christ reminds, and again commands, “I called you to do My Work. Start helping MY one organized effort to announce the true gospel and to warn the great nations of Israel.” The response? “No! I’ve decided you have various works going on. I picked my favorite.”

Christ goes further, “Leave your family and friends in the splinters, and follow Me.” The same response: “No! I’m comfortable with them. And they need me. I don’t want to hurt them or upset the family.”

Christ commands yet again, “Leave ALL the damnable heresies you are hearing and return to every one of My doctrinal truths.” The person answers, “No! I have changed my mind about some things Mr. Armstrong taught. Joe Tkach may have been a false apostle but he got some things right that Mr. Armstrong got wrong. I am sold on these other ideas. I’ve been told they are right and that I should believe them.”

Finally, Christ DEMANDS, “Come to where I lead and work—REATTACH TO ME—the VINE.” The person says, “NO! I will NOT reattach to you or fellowship where you lead and work! I am staying where I am! My minister may be a stranger, but I like him. I have decided that I am attached to you where I am.”

Would Jesus Christ accept these answers, simply replying, “Well, that’s okay, you are an exception. You can still have My Spirit. I won’t take it from you”? No! This would be rebellion in its worst form! If the new convert, the one given God’s Spirit outside His Church, must follow Christ or lose God’s Spirit, why would it be different for those who were once more mature Christians—for those who possibly have had God’s Spirit for decades and were for years in God’s Church? These would have greater responsibility to return to the Church—and fast! For these, even a little stubbornness would be dangerous. While we might conclude that the new convert would be given more time, the person away from Christ for 18-20 years—and who once KNEW BETTER—would seem to be a candidate for less patience, and maybe much less after Christ’s command to return.

If you resist Uncle Dave with his foolish rants and his amazing church then you will be committing the Unpardonable Sin!   

The Unpardonable Sin

We are still not done with Matthew 12, and the grave difference between gatherers with Christ and scatterers against Him. There is one final element to what Christ taught—and it is BIG! Those who knowingly work against the leading of God’s Spirit are in danger of the unpardonable sin!

We pick up in verse 31—immediately after Jesus explained gathering and scattering. His very next words were: “Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit [meaning the Spirit of Christ at work leading His one Church], it shall NOT be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Either make the tree [each person] good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree [each person] corrupt, and his fruit corrupt” (vs. 31-33).

This is a plain warning not to resist or work against where God’s Spirit is working. Many are actively doing this today. To these Christ says, “You are against Me and that will not be forgiven.” Read Acts 5:39, and pause to let it sober you. It is possible to “fight God.” Take a moment to read Matthew 12:30 and 31 together. Do not break in context what Christ made inseparable.

What an arrogant little prick!

But never fear!  Gods most amazing super-duper Church of God is growing with  lightening speed and has more money than any other Church of God out there.

An unbelievably POWERFUL WORK is underway in The Restored Church of God. Our income is exploding, one of the reasons our media is doing the same. This is because we did not break the grand pattern set by Mr. Armstrong—any of it! It is because Jesus Christ actually does head this Church. In another year, probably maximum, the profile of God’s Church and true Work on Earth will be beyond imagination. It will take your breath and leave your ears ringing.

Uncle Dave closes with this arrogant comment. He emphatically knows that you WILL be coming back to him and HIS church.  The Restored Church of God is the only place to be.

You have been duly warned.

I state emphatically, on God’s authority, that every last person—member or minister—throughout the world who is determined not to lose God’s Spirit—certainly many thousands—is coming to The Restored Church of God. Other new converts—many more thousands because of the soon-to-be-immense size of God’s Work (Rev. 10:11)—will be called to work alongside them in the tiny handful of years remaining before those of Philadelphian mind and condition are separated and taken to be protected from the Great Tribulation and Day of the Lord.

Upon being led by Christ through His Spirit to see and understand that you are outside the Church He heads—every reader of this article—return to Christ’s Church with all due speed! This is Christ’s command. Otherwise you will SOON lose God’s Spirit. Do not ignore or put off this understanding. After years away from Christ, you are weaker and more spiritually fragile than you know. Do not procrastinate—do not permit human nature to convince you that you need not act NOW! Do your homework

Yes Dave, you certainly are an arrogant prick.

Opportunistic Non-Ordained False Prophet Cashes In On New Pope

Never one to let a good news story go to waste, the non-ordained self appointed prophet Bob Thiel has written another book released yesterday to coincide with the election of the new Pope in Rome.

Thiel has been cashing on on all kinds of wild and weird prophecies from the Mayans down to the Catholics.  He pays more homage to these nutty predictions than he does the Bible he claims to follow.

Everything coming out of the non-ordained prophet is fear based.  His teachings are fear based, his books are fear based and his absurd video sermons are fear based.  From Daniel to Revelation, from the Mayans to Fatima and  Malachy, it s all about gloom, despair, and death. Thiel is one little scared man!  It's no wonder in all of his bumbling videos that he offers no hope for anyone.

He writes:

According to some interpretations of the prophecies of the popes by the Catholic saint and Bishop Malachy, Pope Francis I is in the position of “Peter the Roman,” the pontiff who reigns during tribulations until around the time of the destruction of Rome. Do biblical prophecies warn of someone that sounds like Peter the Roman? Could Francis I be the heretical antipope of Catholic private prophecies and the final Antichrist of Bible prophecy?

While Catholic private prophecies cannot be trusted, and I assert that Satan influenced this past papal election, Bible prophecy shows that we are in the last days.  If so, it is possible, but by no means certain, that Pope Francis I will be the one that the Bible warns about.

Christ Was An Apostle Just Like Herbert Armstrong

Did you know that Jesus Christ was an apostle just like HWA was?  Did you know that Jesus Christ can change HWA's teachings to suit new revelation? Did you know that Jesus Christ is using Rod Meridith's mouth and pen to add new doctrine to the church?  Apparently though, Jesus Christ made a few mistakes in what he revealed to HWA over the years and now has to correct those mistakes.  That's ok, he's an apostle just like HWA! 

Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, as an apostle, never had more authority to put doctrine into the Church, using men like Mr. Meredith to write articles to explain doctrine, than Christ, as an apostle, has today. As Mr. Armstrong had authority to put doctrine into the Church and have Mr. Meredith explain that doctrine in sermons and articles, so Christ today has authority to put doctrine into the Church and have Mr. Meredith (or any man God may choose) explain it in sermons and articles, because Christ is every bit as much an apostle as Mr. Armstrong was, even more.

As Mr. Armstrong, as apostle, had the authority to correct his own mistakes in doctrine or change his own judgments, so Jesus Christ today, as the chief apostle, has the authority to correct Mr. Armstrong's doctrines or change his judgments. And just as Mr. Armstrong was able to teach new doctrines or judgments to the Church through evangelists, so Christ is able to teach new doctrines or judgments to the Church through the evangelists who lead organizations and Church of God fellowships.

An apostle can correct an apostle's doctrines. We know an apostle can correct an apostle's doctrine because Mr. Armstrong (an apostle) corrected Mr. Armstrong (an apostle). He corrected and changed his own doctrines, on Pentecost being a Sunday or Monday, on divorce and remarriage, and other things. If he can correct his own doctrines, then another apostle, an apostle living today, can correct Mr. Armstrong's doctrines.

Jesus Christ is our living apostle today, as always. Jesus Christ has the authority to correct Mr. Armstrong's doctrines.

How does Christ communicate such correction in doctrine to the Church? There is one difference between Mr. Armstrong's apostleship and Christ's apostleship as far as the way they communicate. Mr. Armstrong spoke (and wrote) to the Church verbally. We could hear his voice when he spoke to the Church in person or on recorded audio or video tape.

Jesus Christ does not communicate to the Church in words we can hear with the ear directly from Christ's mouth. But Christ communicates to the Church, in writing, through the Bible. He also communicates with us, as Mr. Armstrong did with the Church, through evangelists and pastors. Mr. Armstrong, for example, taught evangelists and pastors at Ambassador College so they would have the true doctrines to communicate to the Church. Likewise, Christ is able to teach evangelists and pastors today to give true doctrine to the Church. How? The same way He communicates with the membership, through the Bible and through the Holy Spirit which helps us understand the Bible.

So if Mr. Armstrong was wrong about a doctrine, Christ, as an apostle, has the authority to correct Mr. Armstrong's doctrine by communicating that correction to evangelists in the Church today by inspiring those evangelists to understand the Bible where the Bible shows that Mr. Armstrong was wrong.

In addition to Rod Meredith being able to change doctrine, David Hulme can do it too.  David Hulme???????????????????  ROTFLMAO! That's about as silly as saying a non-ordained self-appointed prophet can change doctrine or bring forth new doctrine.

Church of God members don't need to worry about who is an apostle.  It's up to Jesus Christ to find the apostle and use him....women need not apply though.

Think about this: If the authority for a servant of God on earth to put new doctrine into the Church depended on that servant holding the title of "apostle", wouldn't God put more exact criteria in the Bible for defining an "apostle"? But the Bible doesn't give an exact definition of the term. We see from examples in the Bible who is called an apostle and who is not called an apostle (Luke 6:12-13, Acts 14:14), but we do not see an exact definition we can apply today to know if a Church leader is an apostle in God's sight or not. Why? Because WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW. Christ is our living apostle, and he can put doctrine into the Church through evangelists in the Church.

According to this guy anyone from an apostle down to a regular pastor can change doctrine if he sees a need to.  The membership need not worry about what the minister is teaching because Jesus Christ and God put it in his brain.

So it doesn't matter if the administrative leader of a Church of God fellowship is, in God's eyes, an apostle, a prophet, a pastor general, a presiding evangelist, or just plain "pastor". If that man sees in the Bible that a doctrinal correction needs to be made, he should make the correction, teaching the membership new knowledge, and when he does that, assuming he is teaching accurately, it is God and Christ who are putting new knowledge into that fellowship because God inspired the Bible and through the Holy Spirit opened that leader's mind to see the new truth in the Bible. (I am talking about leaders of fellowships or organizations, leaders who report directly to Christ, not pastors serving congregations under the supervision of a human leader in a larger organization.)

How can a member, such as you or I, know if the correction is right or wrong? From the Bible. There is no other way. There are no shortcuts to Bible study. If an evangelist changes Mr. Armstrong's doctrine, he should give his biblical reasons for it. Then you and I can study the issue and determine the truth according to the Bible.

A New Pope Is Elected and COG Conspiracy Nuts Have A Field Day

A pope has resigned and a new pope has been elected. The anti-Catholic crowd has been whipped into a frenzy lately with all the goings on.  From conservative Evangelicals to the far right Armstrongites, it has been one conspiracy after another.

Of course none are more fascinating or as weird as those put forth by the conspiracy whores in Armstrongism.  If they spent as much time being Good Samaritans as they do  pissing out weird conspiracy's then the world might be a better place. However, it is far more convenient for them to reveal some hidden knowledge that they can pass on as "truth" to their dwindling acolytes.

From the chief COG conspiracy whore, the non-ordained self -appointed prophet Thiel.  This by far has to be one of the worst videos Thiel has done.  It's laughable on how bad it is!  

I just cannot image that Thiel supposedly has taken between 150-200 LCG members into his group.  How can they sit there and listen to these incredibly bad videos ever Saturday in some house church.  How humiliating it must be for the kids of these adults to have been ripped away from their friends so their parents can sit and listen to a lunatic preach to them.

From apostle Malm's blog there are these gems:

"While this man is coming across as a lamb speaking the words of the dragon; he is 76 with health issues and his name does not come out to the scriptural 666; which is the number of a MAN."

 "While this man Francis could be empowered at the appointed time, and even his papal name might be changed due to that event; It is just as possible that he will be a short term leader.

I will not be convinced until a man [either this man or another man]  is empowered as the scriptures say.

Counting back 1,290 days as per Dan 12; from the closest future sixth day of ULB; the abomination COULD be empowered in early Oct:  IF IF IF this is the year."

"Very interesting, the new pope is a Jesuit ( a “black”) pope."

From Herbert Armstrong imitator Gerald Flurry

Pope Francis: What the Mainstream Media Doesn’t Know

The Internet and Twitterverse is awash with news about the new pope. Few people really understand what the papal election was really about. But Bible prophecy explains what is happening. Here is the real scoop.

In his February 28 Key of David telecast, “Why Did The Pope Resign,” Gerald Flurry said that we couldn’t understand why the pope resigned without an understanding of the history and prophecy of Europe. “There are many educators and leaders and media personalities that feel certain that they know,” he said, “but I think very few of them do because they don’t understand the history of the Holy Roman Empire, not to mention the history of the Bible or Bible prophecy.”

The pope emeritus has a main goal, Mr. Flurry continued, that we can only understand by looking at the history and prophecy of the Holy Roman Empire. The pope resigned because he wants to ensure a very pro-Holy Roman Empire pope is installed.

In the same telecast, Gerald Flurry quoted a Spiegel article entitled “Exhausted in the Vatican: the final battles of Pope Benedict xvi.” The article pointed out that as of at least eight months ago the pope and the Curia were already looking for a successor to Benedict.

Both the Vatican Curia and the pope emeritus want the new pope to bring unity and peace to the warring factions within the Vatican—so it can focus on uniting Europe under the banner of the Catholic Church.

 In his February 28 Key of David telecast, Gerald Flurry said, “[I]nsiders of the Vatican, or the Catholic Church, I should say, and perhaps even in the Vatican … have spoken out, mainly a couple who are Catholics and authorities on Catholicism, and they said, one on Laura Ingram’s talk radio show, and one on Fox News, and they said that Pope Benedict wanted the time to influence who the next pope would be. They said that themselves, that he wanted to influence who the next pope was going to be. Well, now, why would he want to do that? Why would that be so important to this pope? 

“Well, now, there’s a specific reason, and that is he wants to unite the Holy Roman Empire, as many other Europeans do, and this pope has that, I believe, as his primary goal, and he feels he can have a great influence on the next pope that is chosen, who will be a man that he believes can control the Vatican and bring Europe together into what we know as the Holy Roman Empire” (emphasis added).

The final resurrection of the seventh head of the Holy Roman Empire is ready to burst onto the world scene in an amazing way. This is what this is all about. Francis i just very well may be the last pope before the return of Jesus Christ. Of course, time will tell. But in the same telecast, Gerald Flurry said the seventh head of the Holy Roman Empire is about to appear, and events in Europe and the world are about to dramatically turn for the worse.

The installation of Pope Francis is about the fulfillment of Bible prophecy and the return of Jesus Christ—the best headline a newspaper could ever have a privilege to print and proclaim.

As Gerald Flurry has explained, this pope will enact a two-pronged strategy: unite the Vatican first, and then move to unite Europe under the banner of the Holy Roman Empire.

That is the real scoop.

 "Let’s not forget the strong ties the Nazi regime has to Argentina."

"The new pope is a member of the Jesuit order. So are Eurocrats like Mario Draghi and Von Rompuy. This order is colloquially known as GOD’S MARINES! They are a militant and dedicated lot to the church."

"“His shy demeanor and humble personality, however, indicate that he may likely remain a puppet of the Pope Emeritus instead of becoming the final Vatican strongman himself”.

That, or Pope Emeritus, just may come out of “retirement” and once again take over the reins of the Vatican."

"We have another Warlord in place, this time in the Vatican!

So far we have at least the following Warlords in place:

1) Jesuit Warlord of the Catholic Church, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now hiding as Pope Francis.
2) Jesuit Warlord of Europe, Herman Achille Van Rompuy, President of the European Council.
3) Jesuit Warlord of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi.
4) Jesuit Warlord of Italy, Mario Monti.
5) Jesuit Warlord of Spain, Mariano Rajoy.

Do you see a pattern evolving here? My questions are, “Where will the NEXT Warlord surface? ” and “How long before they combine forces and plunge the world into another World War? “ "

" Pope Emeritus Ratzinger is the puppet master and Pope Francis Bergoglio is the puppet. Emeritus is behind/out of sight of the puppet shown to the audience. This dynamic duo of a war time pope and a pro-europe latino pope will become very colluded on the day of the blitzkrieg against Iran, Egypt, Libya, & Ethiopia. Then in sequence… , how many european catholics will shed a tear when their fellow american catholics are nuked with the pope’s blessing. Hosea 5:13."

"If the U.S. is overthrown, as the Bible prophesy clearly tells us, by the EU Holy Roman Empire, it would need a strong South American Catholic partner to accomplish it effectively. It seems to me that could be where the land invasion forces come from. Seems practical and reasonable from a military perspective?"

"One step closer to the return of Jesus Christ! That is the best news ever.

Just imagine reading the front page of the newspaper, Jesus Christ has returned!"

"The man is Italian… OK so he lives in South America… he is Italian He is Jesuit, a member of God’s Marines. He may look like a lamb but having studied in Germany he is well suited for the position he now holds. So, who among you know the meaning of “God’s Marines” and why their vesture is BROWN? It is not because the old potato sacks were brown."

Living Church of God debunks and takes a swipe at non-ordained self appointed prophet Thiel's absurd fascination with Malachy's prophecies.  LCG's stance is far more benign than many COG's, though they still think the Catholic Church is the great whore and is seeking to being Protestants back into the fold at the end times.  This is also what has pissed off apostle Malm and prophet Thiel.  Both think the LCG has become wishy-washy in it's message

For hundreds of years, each new Roman Catholic pontiff has been eyed against a famous document called the “Prophecy of St. Malachy.”  Malachy’s “prophecies” have often seemed so broad and vague that it has been a challenge to figure out how each might apply.  Pope Benedict XVI supposedly corresponded to “Glory of the Olive.” After him, the next man in Malachy’s list is called “Petrus Romanus.”

No doubt, speculations will seek to tie Francis I to this old prophecy. Others will point out that there may be innumerable men between “Glory of the Olive” and “Petrus Romanus.” In any case, especially when we consider that John Paul I lasted in office for just 33 days in 1978, there is no reason to assume that Francis I will be the final pope before Christ’s return.

We should also note that, although this famous list of future popes was long ago attributed to a 12th century monk, scholars now assume it was forged in 1590 by someone supporting Cardinal Girolamo Simoncelli as Pope Urban VII’s successor. Malachy gave Urban VII’s successor the motto “From the Old City”—which would fit very well with Simoncelli’s hometown of Orvieto, known widely as “the Old City” at that time. However, the pope who was in fact elected, Gregory XIV, was from Somma Lombardo, a region not even recognized as a city until the 20th century.
