Why you do not need to fear ANYTHING Dave Pack, Gerald Flurry, Ron Weinland, Rick Shabi, Gerald Weston or Beto Bob Theil has to say.

No one could have imagined that in 1996 we would have witnessed the Worldwide Church of God implode in a most destructive manner.

Neither could we have ever imagined so many self-appointed men would raise up with so many splinter groups, each one trying to out lie the other. Of course, the church had many men and women who tried to do the same thing previously by claiming they had special blessings from god. The difference between then and now is that Herbert Armstrong was alive and kicked them out of the church so fast they never knew what hit them. Plus, the membership remained loyal to Armstrong's edicts. If he said to not go with those people and to avoid them, the overwhelming majority of the membership did. 

Not so in the 2000's. The internet came into its own and the insanity of the splinter group leaders spread like wildfire. Church members no longer had a base to be loyal to and latched on to whichever group made their itching ears feel all warm and fuzzy. Church hopping quickly became the routine in the church as loyalty was no longer a controlling factor. 

Almost every year that went by saw a new self-appointed church leader arise and declare himself as the chosen one with all revealed truth. The craziness has multiplied exponentially and here we are today with some of the biggest liars and frauds the church has ever seen.

The Bible verse that self-appointed apostles, prophets, and an endless supply of wannabes NEVER want to talk about is found in Deuteronomy.

Deuteronomy 18:22 --- "If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared."

There is not one single man leading a Church of God today that has the authority to be doing so. Nothing any of them have to say has any direct impact upon your salvation or standing with God. Not one single thing!

Hypocritical Prophet Condemns Another COG

 

Nothing irritates a self-appointed Church of God prophet more than seeing other COG's spend money, money that HE doesn't have and will NEVER have.

Beto Bwana Bob is not happy about the Church of the Eternal God and a recent series of articles about a supposed temple being built in Jerusalem by the Jews.

09/05/22 a.m. This morning, saw an online advertisement from CEG that had the following:
Coming soon – a 3rd temple

Plans to build a 3rd temple are ready. Construction will soon begin.

It is distressing when any COG spends tithes to promote something that is false. 

Wut? Seriously, dude! If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black I do not know what is. Beto Bwana Bob is using the tithes of his followers to pay for all kinds of heresies that he preaches. His entire ministry is a fraud and it is a shame that people are spending their hard-earned money on something so useless and false. 

Jews cannot possibly construct the Temple of God. No massive '3rd temple' needs to be built in this age--nor is such a massive temple about to be constructed. 

 

Instead of realizing that, CEG is wasting money promoting something that is false. 

Note: Beto Bwana Bob and Norbert Link are both equally delusional in their biblical interpretations. Neither has an understanding of what they preach on, particularly when they do happen to discuss that Jesus dude.

 

Dave Pack Gaslights Himself

David C. Pack Gaslights Himself

 

David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God fulfilled my words at the end of the article written on August 30. He keeps going out of his way to make this ole non-prophet/non-psychic appear to be a real prophet/psychic. Please stop asking me to read your palm. (Unless you are a single lady between 40-55 who lives within 50 miles of Wadsworth, Ohio.)

 

Those poor folks at Headquarters had to endure yet another extra-long Sabbath on September 3 because “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 391)” filled one ear and then fell out the other.

 

The highlights for you “skimmers” are thus:

 

·      Elul 15 is back in the spotlight as the day RCG members receive salvation.

·      The 1335 did not actually begin on Av 15 but will on Elul 15, which is next Sunday.

·      Dave is telling everyone the day while not telling everyone the day.

 

That is about it. You may now return to watching The Office outtakes videos in your feed.

 

 

David C. Pack has an awful habit of speaking words that have no meaning. They mean nothing to him, and they should mean nothing to you. Those words have no meaning because he is a man who says one thing but does another. The Mystery of God is ended. The Series is over. Daniel has been unsealed. We’re right on track. It is not my job to say the day. On God’s authority, I am right.

 

David C. Pack is not a man of his word.

 

The “ministers” at Headquarters know it. The brethren in the field know it. Readers of these articles know it. If you hear what he says now and remember what he said before, the truth becomes self-evident.

 

He is a sad, angry man living in a time loop of his own torment. The gravitational pull sucks those in close proximity into his delusional vortex. Misery loves company, and the more miserable people that surround David C. Pack, the more the illusion seems real.

 

Unlike a singularity, the people at Headquarters can escape the pull of his blackness. The enablers on the third floor have all endured the brunt of the bitter viciousness. Each man who leaves the RCG ministry has a horror story to tell. After Brad, Ed, Jaco, Ken, Ryan, Tim, Carl, Frank, Salasi, Jim, or Andrew leave, he will tell you ALL about it.

 

@ 00:04 Well, as I always start these days, here we are again. And all is well. I’m well aware that we’re 22-days from Trumpets. And I will just say this may be the most riveting series of, we’ll call them revelations…

 

David C. Pack tells you everything you need to hear to make a judgment call if he is true or not.

 

@ 00:39 And it will not be a long message.

 

Part 391 was 93 minutes long. If you are Gerald Waterhouse, an hour and a half is “not long.”

 

@ 00:44 I made the single greatest prophetic discovery of my life* and you've heard nothing about it, really. And it was discovered yesterday. I would just say God simply showed it to me*.

 

*Repeated ad nauseam since 2015. These statements hold no value and should be regarded as such.

 

@ 01:01 I took a walk…with a group of ministers and walked through a series of points, and they found it almost explosively interesting, as I did.

 

Not as explosively interesting as paying over a half-million dollars of God’s money for a trimmed lawn.

 

@ 18:29 Trumpets is right here. It’s inarguable…That cannot change. It does not change. Trust me, when we’re done, we’re right on track.

 

Dave is still selling that Trumpets is the Day of the Lord. He will cleave to that one until it gets fat and forgets to keep the fridge stocked with Beck’s.

 

@ 29:53 …and we’re gonna find we’re right on time in a way we could’ve never guessed.

 

More gaslighting of the brethren. Repetition creates reality. RCG has been “right on time” since 2013.

 

“Prophetic math” is what now seems to be keeping his shorts so tight. If you take a shot every time he says “math,” the paramedics would need to be called before this “not a long” message is over.

 

@ 42:00 We’re gonna bring prophecy and history and math together. 

 

Drink. At this point in the message, even Dave must have had a good buzz-on because he addresses his own teaching as if someone else on the planet came up with it.

 

@ 44:55 So the idea, and I wanna just say it here formally and officially…the idea that this Kingdom is seven years and two months is dead! It’s wrong…God couldn't let me see it, or it woulda created a problem. But I want you to understand it's dead; it's over. It blows up Trumpets. It blows up all kinds of things going forward.

 

 

David C. Pack and the “ministers” at Headquarters need your help. There has been an impostor claiming to speak with God’s authority who has been preaching heresy to the people of The Restored Church of God. This “angel of light” has been teaching from the Bible the things that are not so.

 

If you can identify this man and report him immediately, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here are the things I caught in this 2-minute clip from Part 382.

 

·      The members of RCG did not have “the picture.”

·      It was not a “short” message. The length was 78 minutes. Déjà vu.

·      It was not eye-opening.

·      All the ministers were wrong about being "right on time" back then.

·      The Day of the Lord was not on July 28 of 2022.

·      The Second Kingdom of God is not 7 years and 2 months long.

·      The Kingdom to Israel is not “the last hour.”

·      It IS possible to change the 1335 from the middle of Tammuz. (And Av).

·      “Nothing has changed” has changed to “A lot has changed.”

·      Additional, fascinating proofs solidified worthlessness.

·      The table layout for the Kingdom is entirely wrong.

 

In Part 391, the Cooking Table is now in its heh heh heh final form. Print it out and frame it because, heh heh heh it will not change. Heh heh heh. Sorry, I cannot even write that without laughing.

 

 

 

@ 45:30 This is a seven-year Kingdom, and it has to start this Trumpets for a lotta reasons. Partly because this mystery's being explained right now. We gonna wait another year?

 

Please tell me why a wicked antichrist serpent takes more care with the words of David C. Pack than David C. Pack. Consider these quotes from the past as cerebral prophylactics. This is the kind of stuff that makes Dennis giddy.

 

Part 10 – January 9, 2016

@ 1:50:46 If you knew about the First Dominion a couple years ago, how does ‘shortly, quickly, soon, near, fast, hasty, hit the throttle’ apply? God, quite literally, could not tell us, or He would make Himself a liar. And He would’ve confused us and misled us, believing we were on a short clock when we were not.

 

Part 170 – April 10, 2019

@ 1:11:18 A prophecy was fulfilled last night…I tell you, on God's authority, it happened.

 

Part 186 – June 20, 2019

@ 1:21:35 Nobody can possibly think there’s another year of laying out details like this.

 

Part 200 – August 27, 2019

@ 2:26:59 And you know what? If you don't know these things, the Mystery of God is not ended. And that’s why I said it would end tonight.

 

Part 211 – October 24, 2019

@ 32:42 This is now easy to understand. Everything's so simple now. Boy, oh boy, oh boy, is the whole picture simple! God didn't want this message given until the very end, or prophecy would have been broken. His word would have been broken.

 

Part 241 – March 27, 2020

@ 1:16:11 Now, a loving God didn’t let us understand what we were into, or we'd have really we understood we got to wait another whole year…

 

Part 257 – July 18, 2020

@ 52:46 This is all just very, very clear now and it’s not gonna move.

 

You cannot trust David C. Pack when he tells you anything, no matter how large the biblical Jenga stacks up. No matter how loud he gets or how much he pounds on the table, just smile and nod, “Sure, Dave. Sure. All the ministers agree? Sure they do, Dave, sure.”

 

 

The 70-Weeks Prophecy of Daniel 9 is in play. Big time. He "proves" that each of the 69 prophetic weeks all began on Elul 15, so the last one will start on Elul 15—September 11, 2022. That is this coming Sunday for all you heathens.

 

The countdown clock is already running on the website.

 

@ 50:30 …if it follows the pattern 69 times before on Elul 15, and that's a week away. A little less than a week away…So you outta at least sit there and say, “Oh, we might be on time. We might be right on time more than we ever knew.

                                           

@ 55:51 Now, I’m gonna give you some really eye-opening things here.

 

What is eye-opening is how he contorts “half” in the Bible. By tying Elul 15 and the 1335 together, Dave redefines what “half” means so he can squeeze through another narrow prophetic pipe of logic.

 

I am sure no one who ever read that the Mount of Olives would be cleaved thought the ground would be spliced into a perfect, atomic half. Dave strains to make half not mean half by removing it from numbers and then applying it back to numbers after he perverts it.

 

Cutting a Snickers in half is the same as cutting 1290 days in half, doncha know? The Hebrew language becomes a Swiss-Army knife of possibilities when understanding the Bible in Packworld.

 

Rest assured, when Dave needs "half" to mean "exactly, dead-bang down the middle," according to God, he will do it. But not today.

 

Today he dons a top hat and a red carnation to perform a mathematical magic trick. Two months? What two months? A seven-year kingdom. The 1335 begins on Elul 15. Salvation arrives on Elul 15. Fast forward.

 

@ 1:13:52 There’s no way the [70^th] week would start any other day [Elul 15]. If God’s gonna do it on another day, we could never know that. And I’m just gonna say that to you. I can’t know that.

 

Bookmark that quote for future use.

 

One small detail I point out from time to time is that when I left RCG in March of 2021, we were "in the midst of the 1335," and I knew knew knew that was false. Then he said it started again back during Tammuz. No, wait…in Av. I constantly repeat a big-fat nope.

 

Dave enjoys the hobby of making me right. If I can be a bit personal here, David C. Pack builds up my confidence more than any hot chick I have ever nailed. Sorry, Shawn.

 

@ 1:24:53 I'm not lazy. I worked as hard as I could. I go to bed 12-1-1:30 every single night. I'm almost never in bed before 12, and I'm working on all just Greek, Hebrew, lists, piles, papers all over the place.

 

Ah! Dave is not getting enough sleep! Perhaps brethren can research the effects of a 73-year-old man with long-term sleep deprivation to send into Headquarters. That would explain a lot. I cannot help but think, “Poor Mrs. Pack.”

 

I remember a 3-part sermon Dave gave about angels and demons. He mentioned that people influenced by dark spirits worked late at night and did not get enough sleep. I am not drawing a direct parallel but just pointing out an interesting tidbit.

 

 

These flashbacks are vital for framing the rest of the message for those just joining in.

 

Part 390 – August 27, 2022

@ 43:35 I’m not commissioned to give you the day. I’m commissioned to tell you it’s close.

 

Part 389 – August 24, 2022

@ 52:45 …it looks like he didn’t say the date the first time either, and I won’t do it. And I’m sorry that I ever did.

 

@ 53:47 But it’s not my job to say it is this year….it has to be the end of the series. No possible way to go on. There’s no time.

 

Back to today.

 

Earlier in the message, Dave planted the seed that he would gaslight himself.

 

@ 1:11:56 Now I realize, “Mr. Pack, you’re telling us the day!”

 

Even Dave is aware of the obvious. This is actually a massive step for him developmentally.

 

@ 1:26:18 This is apparently the final foretelling of the Mystery of God. I’m not here setting a date. You might be, “Ah, Mr. Pack, come on.” I’m presenting the facts. And I’m presenting God’s pattern. And I am not doing more than that…There are a lot of things that don’t work on another year. They just don’t.

 

This is the same coward's way out utilized for months, each time he is caught with his hand in the prophetic cookie jar with chocolate all over his face and crumbs on his shirt.

 

“Am I telling or foretelling?”   “I am not Elijah the Prophet, but a type of John the Baptist.”   “Elijah is a title”   “It is not my job to say the day.”    “It is not my job to say the year. My job is to say it is soon.”

 

What is the difference, Dave?

 

@ 1:27:34 So, I I I I I present to you the facts. The dates. History. Math. Scriptures. I will not name a date.

 

David C. Pack is gaslighting himself. He has been building a case for Elul 15 for about 30 minutes straight.

 

This “I will not name the date” tomfoolery is implausible deniability.

 

It is all about Elul 15. This year. Next Sunday. But Dave is not telling anyone the day or the year.

 

David C. Pack tells you everything you need to hear to make a judgment call if he is true or not.

 

This is Dave moonwalking. Cabbage Patching. He is Electric Sliding all in yo bizness.

 

Even a child is known by his doings, and "somebody" is really hankerin' for a spankin'.

 

David C. Pack is not a man of his word.

 

He has his hands in your pocket and says, looking you in the eyes, “I’m not stealing from you.” David C. Pack has his hand in our pocket while telling us he does not. Telling himself he is not doing exactly what he is doing.

 

Okay, I am man enough to admit it kinda tickles as he digs for change. But it still is not right.

 

It is like he is your big brother taking your hand and smacking you in the face while repeating, “Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself?”

 

David C. Pack is hitting the members of RCG in the face with their own hands, “I’m not setting a date. I’m not setting a date. I’m not setting a date.”

 

Does this make him medical-grade delusional, or is he just a liar? The enablers at Headquarters lie to themselves all the time, and we can see where they get it from.

 

A sober way to frame all of this is simple: biblical fraud.

 

Elul 15 is less than a week away. This could be quite the cocktail party topic for the RCG Open House this Thursday for the Wadsworth Chamber of Commerce.

 

“You’re a false prophet and not a man of your word, Mr. Pack."

“I’m sorry. That you feel that way. I am deeply sorry. That I got caught.”

 

He is not "sorry" because he keeps doing it. The members of The Restored Church of God need to leave that toxic, abusive relationship. Move back in with your mother if you have to, but just get out.

Petulant Man-Child Melts Down Over New British Prime Minister - Another Sure Sign Of The End Times

 

The accurate prophet in our midst made a prophecy early this morning that came true within an hour or so of claiming Bwana Bob Thiel would melt down over Liz Truss. the new British Prime Minister.

I am honoured to be elected Leader of the Conservative Party.

Thank you for putting your trust in me to lead and deliver for our great country.

I will take bold action to get all of us through these tough times, grow our economy, and unleash the United Kingdom’s potential. pic.twitter.com/xCGGTJzjqb

— Liz Truss (@trussliz) September 5, 2022

DennisCDiehl said...
Let's get this prediction over with: 

 

Now that Liz Truss is going on to be British Prime Minister, we can expect the "children shall be their oppressors and WOMEN SHALL RULE OVER THEM" nonsense from Bob. 

 

To be clear, the text and context is calling the MALE leaders of Israel as useless as "women" and about as mature as "children". It was not a literal reference to a change in gender or age in leadership as a sure sign of the end of all things.Monday, September 5, 2022 at 6:26:00 AM PDT

After reading Dennis' comment here, the Great Bwana had to immediately get to the task of deriding the new British Prime Ministers, former President Obama, and others while getting his self-righteous knickers in a twist of women ruling over men. I think part of Bwana Bob's beef with women is that the male leaders in the Church of God have been such EPIC failures that he knows that if a strong woman stepped in that she could lead far more effectively with compassion than he and his other self-appointed testosterone deficient beta-boys have been doing, but that's another story.

Bwana Bob starts off by quoting a couple new stories and then says that Prime Minister Truss has already pissed off the Europeans with some of her stances. This immediately set off the beta-boy alarms in his head that this is a sure sign of prophecy where Europe will soon invade Great Britain and take them captive. Oh, the Armstrongite mind is a wonderous thing!

She has espoused positions that the European Union does not like (e.g. see EU and Ireland not pleased with UK’s protocol bill for Northern Ireland), hence while she is not Boris Johnson (who the EU did not like), she is not likely to be able to heal the rift between the UK and EU.

Then the Great Bwana had to quote a GERMAN article about Truss. The alarm bells started clanging louder and louder. The Germans!!!!!!!!! Oh, noes!

The German press reported:

5 September 2022

What foreign policy issues face the UKs new leader?

The new prime minister will also have to steer the UK on the international stage with Russia’s war in Ukraine, an increasingly assertive China, and ongoing tensions with the European Union over the aftermath of Brexit topping that agenda.

Truss said she would tear up parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol, a step that could lead to a new trade barriers or even legal difficulties with the EU.

A bill to unilaterally scrap some customs checks to ease the movement of goods between Northern Ireland and the rest of Britain is working its way through the British parliament, and Truss said last month that if picked as prime minister she would seek to deliver that legislation in full. Liz Truss to be next British prime minister (Bob, please learn how to use hyperlinks)

Then horror of horrors, the Great Bwana did not like that Truss voted for gay marriage (a sure sign of the downfall of the British Israelite nations but interestingly never an issue for the non-Israelitish nations which have also approved it).

As far as signs that are not good go, on “LGBTQ+ rights,” Liz Truss, according to Reuters, voted for gay marriage and has never voted against “LGBTQ+ rights” — but that is contrary to the Bible. 

 

Liz Truss will likely try her best to lead, but she has not shown a strong reverence for scripture. The following came to mind related to her and many other politicians:

1 Unless the Lord builds the house,

They labor in vain who build it;

Unless the Lord guards the city,

The watchman stays awake in vain. (Psalm 127:1)

The Great Bwana is worried about the sanctity of marriage when his very own church has a background that is filled with adultery, incest, rapes, and stalkings - most of it committed by the leadership of the COG. As for Truss supposedly not showing a "strong reverence for scripoture" pray to tell me when the COG self-appointed leaders ever have? In the last 35 years, we have witnessed a cesspool of spiritually and morally bankrupt men take power in the church with no reverence to scripture whatsoever.

Then the Great Bwana had to take a swipe at former President Obama for wanting to see more women leaders in other countries, in spite of the fact that Herbert Armstrong and many other COG leaders looked at Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as the strong leader the UK needed and basically groveled at her feet in admiration. But, because former President Obama said it, it is wrong:

Of course, Liz Truss is also a woman. A while back, former US President Barack Obama said he wanted women to rule over every country:

December 16, 2019 

 

Speaking at a private event in Singapore on Monday, President Obama said that if women ran every country, we would all live with significantly improved living standards and there would be less war and strife. When it comes to leadership, women are “indisputably better” than men, Obama said, according to the BBC, which was apparently invited to the event. 

 

Most of the world’s problems, Obama said, stem from too many old men in positions of power, an obvious slight directed at President Donald Trump, though he wasn’t explicitly named. 

 

Although they’re not perfect, women are so much more advanced and even-headed than men, that Obama believes if women were given two years running every country on earth, all of our problems would be fixed.

“Now women, I just want you to know; you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you’re better than us [men].” 

 

“I’m absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything…living standards and outcomes.” 

 

When asked if he would ever consider going back into political leadership, he said he believed in leaders stepping aside when the time came. 

 

“If you look at the world and look at the problems it’s usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way,” he said. 

 

“It is important for political leaders to try and remind themselves that you are there to do a job, but you are not there for life, you are not there in order to prop up your own sense of self importance or your own power.”

The Great Bwana is on a roll and continues with this:

Barack Obama, when president, refused to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act, and eventually supported its removal. He has assisted many in declaring their sin like Sodom (more biblical warnings about Sodom are in the article: The Bible Condemns Homosexuality).

The Bible also condemns liars, self-appointed false prophets, corrupt leaders, blasphemers of the Word, and those that use the law as a weapon over grace. But then, this totally goes over the heads of self-appointed COG leaders as they imagine themselves as the most perfect men to ever walk the earth. 

Then the Great Bwana gets to the gist of his posting...blasphemous ruling women! Oh, the humanity!!!!!!!!

And, also notice, that the Bible warns against women ruling. It is not that they can never help, but God says those who promote such things are causing people to err and get their way destroyed.

The Great Bwana ends with this:

Although Barack Obama, particularly while campaigning to become US President, repeatedly claimed to be a Christian, he has overlooked many scriptures. 

COG ministers and leaders, like Bob Thiel, claim to be Christian yet overlook the scriptures that do not fit their legalistic views.

Jesus said that Christians are supposed to live “by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).

Something the Church of God has never done. That is price but the very fact they claim grace is a license to sin.

The Bible does NOT teach that the world would be a better place if old men move aside and let women rule. 

 

Furthermore, the Bible teaches what the solution is. 

 

It is repentance and turning to Jesus, individually (Acts 2:38) as well as repentance nationally to save a people (Hosea 11:3a, 5b-7).

When has the COG leadership ever turned to Jesus? They can't even mention his name 95% of the time.  

Since national repentance is not expected, the end of the USA (Daniel 11:39) and other governments of this world is coming:

15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15-16)

Perhaps the bigger issue is that the Church of God has failed to repent of its grievous sins, false prophecies morally and spiritually bankrupt self-appointed leaders, incorrect church doctrines, and its continuing quest to shackle its members with spirit-quenching blasphemous biblical interpretations.

Perhaps God is waiting for the COG leadership to repent of their sins and then maybe the glory of the kingdom can shine forth upon all.

 

Crackpot Prophet Mocks Preppers For Creating Safety Bunkers While He Plans On Taking His Followers To Petra

 

For decades now the Churches of God have had men who claim they will lead true believers, who have been tested by fire and God, to a place of final training, whether it be Pella or Petra. These men have all made superfantastical claims as to how true believers would get there, what would happen to them there and how it would be the training ground for future kings, priests, gods, goddesses, and teachers who will whip the world back into shape after the tribulation has destroyed much of humanity. 

How can anyone forget Gerald Waterhouse and his butt-numbing 4-hour sermons on this stupidity? Next to Bob Thiel the church has never had a bigger false teacher in its midst than this man. 

Even Rod Meredith would wax eloquently on this topic, but his version of the story was always darker as his followers were going to weld rods of iron to whip and beat people into submission. Corporal punishment would be the theme of the day instead of grace and mercy in the presence of Christ. No modern penitentiary could ever compare to the brutality these people were willing to dish out at offenders of the law, most of the time with gleeful anticipation.

Church of God leaders were effective tools in making church members believe they could save their Laodicean asses from end-time trials and tribulations. That brings us today to our very own self-appointed prophet, The Great Bwana Bob Thiel, the most important Church of God leader in 2,000 years. Through him, people will be able to gather in a place of safety for 3 1/2 years of training as he bounces and flounces in the Petra amphitheater muttering gibberish.

What has set the almost arrested Great Bwana off today is a couple articles he read about doomsday preppers who are building luxurious bunkers to care for their families and a few close friends should war or natural disaster wreck this country. It infuriates his little mind that these people have the financial means to build such places while he will have nothing to offer his followers once they get to Petra. Heck, he can't even gain the cooperation of Jordanian officials because NONE of them have any idea who he is.

After quoting two different articles about preppers, he condemns their actions as ultimately ineffective (much like his ministry).

He makes the following comments:

So, Jesus said there will be wars, food shortages, and troubles–we have been seeing these this year.

Let me add that the USA, for one example, will end up much worse than even most preppers think.

Is hording gold or prepping the answer?

No.

Jesus warned:

19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19-21)

Now, that does NOT mean that having food or money for emergencies is not a good idea:

6 Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, 7 Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, 8Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. (Proverbs 6:6-8)

22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children (Proverbs 13:22a).

3 A prudent man forsees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished (Proverbs 22:3). 

 Of course, since gold is regarded as a disaster hedge by many investors, prudence might dictate that perhaps a small fraction of your liquid assets be in gold: (Caulkins J. WHEN MONEY FAILS. Good News, WCG, October-November 1979)

When a COG prophet has to use old Worldwide Church of God articles you immediately know the guy is ignorant about his topic. But, that doesn't stop the greatest Church of God leader in human history from saying more stupidity:

Jesus tells His followers to watch, pray, and change enough to be accounted worthy to escape these things. Physical protection from the coming hour of trial is possible to those who will properly heed the word of God (cf. Zephaniah 2:1-3). Jesus clarifies in Revelation 3 that He is specifically referring to proving protection to the Philadelphian Christians.

Furthermore the Bible is clear that NOT ALL CHRISTIANS are promised this protection:

14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 12:14-17)

Two types of Christians are discussed above. A group that flees to a place and the rest that do not do so.

While there is a certain escape involved in this, the protected Christians are not going to their personal ‘bolthouses,’ but are going to a place that God has prepared in the wilderness.

Unless you are a follower of the almost arrested modern-day Elisha/Elijah, the greatest human Church of God leader in church history, you will have no idea when to flee or where to flee to. God will not tell you where to go, only the Great Bwana can do that. Only those that follow the one true COG leader will save their sorry asses. No prepper cave or bunker can save anyone, only Bwana Bob can.
