Gerald Flurry: The PCG is FIRST After Jesus Christ!

In the September/October issue of Royal Vision, the chief narcissist of the Philadelphia Church of God, Gerald Flurry, makes the claim again that his book, Malachi's Message, is equal to the Bible and is spoken about in the Book of Revelation.  Even though Gerald Flurry plagiarized the entire book from Letters to Laodicea, by Jules Devraes, he still claims it as his own. 

“This chapter 10 [of Revelation] has been virtually overlooked,” Mr. Armstrong wrote in the February 1977 Plain Truth. “I did not comment on it in the earlier days, or expound it when I wrote this outline of the book of Revelation, or the full booklet on the Revelation.” Then he talked about the little book. He concluded: “The Apostle John in his vision is told to take the little book, which is open in the hand of the angel, and eat it up. How like Ezekiel’s prophecy!” It is very much like Ezekiel’s prophecy because both are talking about the same little book: Malachi’s Message. That book was revealed shortly after Mr. Armstrong died. This is a critical part of the Work in the end time because if you don’t understand the little book, you’re lost. The book of Revelation begins with God and then, in chapters 2 and 3, describes the seven eras of His Church. So the order of things is God first; then God’s Church eras, the firstfruits.

Because Flurry considers himself to be the greatest human man to ever have lived, right after Jesus Christ, it's only natural that he places his cult immediately under Jesus Christ in the hierarchy of the church.

God gives this Church a lot of prominence here and makes us realize how important this responsibility is! We must see the importance of this message. Jesus Christ is the Head of this Church. The God of Ezekiel is the one who became Jesus Christ. The God of Ezekiel 1 introduces the PCG first, after Himself. That is the supreme honor given to us. That honor is given only to those who do this Work in the “last end.”

Every single splinter cult of Armstrongism places themselves directly under the Jesus Christ in their power structures.  This myth is a carry over from the organizational charts that the old Worldwide Church of God used to publish.  Those charts seemed to surface every time a major church upheaval was happening.  The church used that power structure as a weapon to denigrate malcontents or divisive minister/members.  When people are rebellious they are not being submissive to the government that God has placed on the church.  

Church government and books written by various false prophets of Armstrongism are all used as weapons to subjugate their members.  Such things always remain constant in the Church of God.

Radical Leftist Meanies Will Soon Start Persecuting The Philadelphia Church of God

Someone is always out trying to get Church of God members and its leaders.  What other purpose could the church have than to be the scapegoat of big meanies so they can claim persecution?

Gerald Flurry whines:

We are facing problems today that God’s Church under Herbert W. Armstrong never faced. The United States is terribly different than it was before he died in 1986. It is ready to collapse, and it will shortly. The radical left is attacking conservatives with all sorts of lies. What do you think they will do about our message? Once they focus on us, it will be much worse, at least for a short time. I don’t know when that will be, but I do know we must pay attention to what God revealed through Ezekiel because it is for us in the PCG!

We have to believe Ezekiel’s prophecy: A storm is coming. We must go through this storm and thrive in it! We have the God of Ezekiel 1 right here with us! That is why the book of Ezekiel begins in this order: God is first—the top priority! Everything flows from there. Even the persecution God’s Church members face will have a positive side because it will cause people to feel ashamed when the world continues to unravel just as God prophesied. This will help them repent and probably many of them will become part of the great multitude (Revelation 7:9).  Royal Vision, Sept/Oct, 2014
