What is the point of being a Christian if you are going to be constantly beat down as a dirty filthy sinner who is just inches away from becoming toast? That's what so many in the COG's hear day in and day out. God's people have been so dumb over the last 70 some years that they still do not get it.
Since Ron Weinland has been sitting in jail for his grievous sins, it seems to be his duty to brow beat his members into submission with fear and trembling. They are dirty sinners. They sin so much that
Jesus Christ has delayed his coming again and again. They are so filled with sin that they ahve to fast more than any other group out there. They will never be good enough in the sight of their god to amount to anything but the worms that they are.
Oh wait! Where have we heard all of that before??????????
Ron has penned another letter from the Birmingham jail to his followers. If Ron thinks his letters from prison will reach the status of Paul's prison letters or MLK's, he has another thing coming.
Ron writes:
As I begin writing this post on the Sabbath, I am
nearing the end of a Church-wide fast. We have focused on our individual
need to repent of sin, and we have also taken the next step of seeking
to be shown more sin within ourselves that we do not readily
see. Our desire as God’s people is to get rid of all leaven and to
become more fully humbled in order to grow in greater unity and oneness
with God’s perfect way with God. We understand that growing in unity is a life long process of which we must continually embrace and submit to.
Our way of life includes a continual process that enables us to grow spiritually closer to God by His revealing
sin to us and our choosing to continually repent as He reveals it. Our
evangelist in Australia, Wayne, gave a sermon last Sabbath, entitled, “A
Way of Life.” It would be good to quote part of what was addressed in
that sermon, as it speaks of the importance of seeking out God’s favor
(especially as we did in fasting) to see sin of which we are blind.
This is the quote from that sermon: “If we don’t
see sin or spiritual faults, how can we choose to change? So how can we
choose to repent if we don’t see it? If we think we’re right and God
doesn’t reveal sin to us, we’ll just continue on with
that sin for the rest of our life. God must correct man’s thinking to
bring him to Elohim.”
Although we always use Isaiah 58 as our guide in
fasting, as each of us seeks repentance and greater harmony and oneness
in spirit with God, this fast has also had another important focus. It
is not only that we desire to have God and Jesus Christ dwelling more
fully within us in order to stand stronger against an evil spirit world,
it has also been for the purpose of seeking God that He would remove
more and more of the power of Satan and the demonic world to the day
that they are spiritually bound for 1,000 years. The removal of Satan
and the demons will help fulfill, in a most powerful way, the result for
mankind that is pictured spiritually in Isaiah 58.
It's exhausting just reading it. I can't imagine how exhausted his members are constantly having to do something to appease their angry pissed off god.
Ron is preparing his members for the return of the thing he calls "christ " on May 19th this year. Of course, Jesus is NOT returning May 19th any more than he will return next year on Pentecost. When Ron's prophecy proves to be another failure it will quickly become evident that his god is still pissed and delays his coming because his members are still sinners.
We are now just a few weeks away from Pentecost and of our hope in the return of Jesus as the ruling Messiah the
Christ. There is much to be fulfilled and a very short time for it to
happen. For “what is” now, as always, we press forward and battle
against that which fights against God. In the present truth, we are
focused on the fulfillment of Pentecost on its grandest scale yet.
In Ron's little cult there has been a major world war going on that has been leaving carnage in its wake. That carnage is members leaving his group because of Ron's stupidity.
Because has been such an enormous failure with prophecy he has to keep adding pieces to his puzzle. Ron's puzzle is now so misshapen a person will never be able to see the picture he is trying to get across.
In the last post, a spiritual world war was
addressed that revealed our need for this Church-wide fast. With the
added important focus we had for this fast concerning an evil spirit
world, there is more clarification that God has now given regarding our
past and current understanding of the Trumpets of Revelation. This
reminds me of a recent post where it covered that the ongoing
revelations of God to His Church is likened to a puzzle where pieces are
continually being added that clarify and more fully picture for us what
God is working out. As with any puzzle, sometimes we find ourselves
fitting a piece (or pieces) in the wrong place when God reveals truth to
us and He does not reveal everything of that truth in some specific
aspects. It is a process of ever moving closer to God in truth as we
follow the “present truth” He has revealed to that moment in time. This
process is also used by God to test and mold His people. It is like the
important example of Herbert W. Armstrong’s life where God revealed to
him the truth of the holy days, including Pentecost, but it was nearly
40 years later before God revealed the correct time to observe it.
Ron still is trying to justify naming himself and his buffoonish wife as the "two witnesses". If she is such a powerful instrument of his god why hasn't she said or done anything worthwhile or godly in the last several years? The only thing she seems able to do is use the Church credit card for personal use.
This example of fitting some pieces in the wrong
place as God is revealing truth, has been especially true over the past
few years where timing has been a factor. This was true
about when the job of the two witnesses began. Who they were was true,
but He then revealed that the timing for their job was to begin later.
Though we knew the countdown for Christ’s return had begun, we did not
know God’s timing would alter that count until He revealed Christ would
return on a Pentecost and not on Trumpets. As we came to Pentecost 2012,
we had to address timing again as we entered the “Day of the Eternal.”
Once again, the picture of what God was doing became clearer as some
pieces of the puzzle were simply not yet fitted to the puzzle or had
been placed in the wrong area. Such things are fully in God’s control as
to how much truth He gives and when he chooses to give it.
Ron is going to be in for another surprise on May 19 when his silly god hands him another puzzle piece. The brethren will not have been ready, there is sin in the camp of Israel, there is a more important work yet to do, god is waiting till I get out of prison before he acts.....
For the sake of this world and for the sake of
God’s people who have been fighting a long and draining battle, we are
prayerfully at a time now where no more important pieces are out of
place. Yet again, this process of how God reveals truth does show much
about the means by which God has led His Church and through which God
has tested and refined (by fire) us. Regardless of what is before us, we
do move forward and never give up the fight.
Ron goes on to write about the 7 trumpets sounding as hell is unleashed upon the earth. Ron, in an effort to cover his ass, says he doe snot know when the trumpets will sound, if they haven't already. He is sure about one thing though, WWIII is just moments away with a nuclear blast.
Having said all this, we have been waiting, with the limited knowledge
we have for the effects of the Second Trumpet to be made manifest so we
might more clearly see where we are in timing and in the order of
events. But God is letting us know that simple physical observation does
not reveal such matters. This is akin to some limited knowledge God has
given concerning the description of the Sixth Trumpet. This trumpet
involves a massive nuclear exchange that isn’t made manifest until we
are near the very end. It is because of this exchange (Armageddon) that
God must quickly intervene with the events described in the Seventh
Trumpet to stop this war. However, the events of the Sixth Trumpet are
set in motion “an hour, a day, a month, and a year” (Rev. 9:15) in
advance of their occurrence. God is now revealing to the Church that the
Fifth Trumpet is the real prelude to World War III.
Ron seems to think that Germany will soon be declaring war. Who else should we have expected? This war though may not be a physical war but a war of government. Germany will wreck economic destruction upon the world, particularly the United States. The invading German hoards are nothing to the demonic war that is being fought right now. The demonic work is waging a huge battle with
Jesus Christ right now in heaven.
In the last few posts, God has been leading us to
this post. Our Father has shown that we have not fully grasped the use
of the term “Assyria” in prophecy. In this end-time, that term is not
specifically about Germany any more than the term “Egypt” is about that
actual country. Throughout the time during Philadelphia and Laodicea, it
was believed that the captivity of Israel would be by Germany
(Assyria), instead of understanding that it is about a captivity of
government that has engulfed the scattered nations of Israel. It is with
the physical interpretation of this that this piece of the puzzle
seemed to fit into the Fifth Trumpet. Although it is through the
leadership of Germany that the Euro and European Union brings to light
the kind of captivity that has taken Israel, the Fifth Trumpet is
actually about God’s Church, both the remnant and that which was
scattered. Germany’s involvement is about events that occur throughout
the fulfillment of the First Trumpet as a result of the resurrection of
the old Roman Empire.
The greater meaning of the Fifth Trumpet is about a
spirit war in this time we are in now. It is about power that is
unleashed by a demonic world and yet there are specific restrictions
upon that spirit world that God controls. Recently, the Church was given
a four-part sermon from our senior evangelist, Johnny, on the subject
of Christ’s final journey to Passover day. In that sermon, he referred
to scriptures that revealed there was a great demonic war being waged
against Christ at that time. God allowed this for a great purpose, but
in the midst of it all, He was always in control of what could and could
not happen.
That great battle in heaven between Satan and
Jesus Christ has spilled over into Ron's cult. His members are being sorely tested. Many have failed the test. Ron's numbers continue to shrink as does the money.
God’s Church has been experiencing some of the most
massive attacks ever from a demonic spirit world over the past few
months. God has allowed this as a testimony to His remnant Church that
has been growing in spiritual strength and has been fighting off such
perverse abuse from that spirit world. As the last post indicated, there
is a night and day difference in the condition of God’s Church today
compared to the time of the apostasy when these beings easily defeated
large numbers at that time. Yet during the past few months, this spirit
army has not been able to defeat God’s people, as God is more fully
dwelling in His people at this time. This is an awesome witness of the
spiritual Body of Christ today just as it was such an awesome witness
Jesus Christ gave in his life toward the end of it, as he stood firm
against such power with dignity, honor, and grace as the Passover of
mankind. These are things an evil spirit world cannot comprehend and
neither do people who are guided by selfish human nature. Only God can
reveal such importance, purpose, and beautiful meaning.
We have been in such a great spiritual battle that a
Church-wide fast was called to address this and to seek greater
strength and intervention from God. It was during this fast that God
revealed what we have been living through. The demonic spirit world has
continually fought against God and His purpose for human life. There
have been times when these battles have been more intense, as in what
the Church has now been experiencing. Those who are young have been the
primary targets, but overall the young have stood firm. Some in the
Church that have had greater experience in battle have not been attacked
as severely as others. Yet there are some in God’s Church that have
had great experience in battle but have been attacked on every side in a
concerted effort because they are a part of the primary structure of
the Church and have been targeted because of that. Again, the demonic
spirit world has been losing their battle against God just as it has
throughout time.
Then Ron lets those members of his cult that are suffering right now know that if they are suffering it is their fault. They are not sealed to his god. Only those not sealed are being persecuted.
Over this period of five months, these evil spirit beings have been
given power to attack, hurt, and mentally harass “only those people who do not have
the seal of God on their foreheads” (Rev. 9:4). This has nothing in
context to do with people in the world, but is about God’s people. A
distinction is made concerning those who have the seal
of God on their foreheads. These people are those who are to be
resurrected as part of the 144,000 and cannot be “hurt” even if they
were to literally lose their physical life, as they will be in the first
resurrection. Yet this evil spirit world attacked many of these, but
could not “hurt” them because of their part in God’s plan, for they are
sealed and have already been tested to be those who will always stand
firm until their change comes.
Ron's god is still out there looking for 63,000 COG members to bring over to Ron's cult. Ron is just as stupid as Dave Pack who also thinks large numbers of COG members will return to the "true church."
Then there are the others of the remnant (Church) who have suffered the
most because most are younger (newer) in the Body, yet as a testimony to
God, most have stood firm. This demonic world has also harassed and
attacked many of those of the scattering whom God is preparing to draw
as the 63,000 and who will eventually benefit from what they have been
experiencing. Even though they are unwittingly unaware of it.
So beware all of you heathens and COG heretics out there...Satan is on a rampage and is ready to unleash WWIII on you. You may only have 5 months left to revel in your wantonness. Drink up and enjoy!
The demonic world has already been moving this
world into its final war and it has been waging a great spiritual war
against God’s people. It is indeed a great “woe” to mankind. God’s
people are being made stronger, though suffering in battle, and the
world is about to be thrust into battle that has been thus far held back
by God.
Once this five-month period of this First Woe comes
to an end, the United States and the other scattered nations of Israel
will begin their collapse, quickly leading to a final nuclear conflict
unleashed as described by the Sixth Trumpet (the Second Woe). The Fifth
Trumpet is the First Woe and it truly is the prelude to World War III.
