Fun Facts You Never Knew: Aaron Dean Started The Laodicean Era Of God's Church!

 

From Samuel Kitchen. No commentary is needed, though highlights are mine:

On January 16, 1986, a patriarch, a father figure to the Worldwide Church of God died.

Herbert W. Armstrong had spoken many times to the Church congregations prior to his death, about what he was doing in the case of his death.

In one sermon, he stated to the Church that he did not have any authority to choose someone to be his successor. God would have to choose that someone. What he did have authority to do, is set up an Advisory Council of Elders to take lead in the meantime if he was to die and God did not yet raise up a successor.

That might surprise a great deal of you reading. He stated that rather strongly and he stated it in official capacity as Apostle of Jesus Christ to the Worldwide Church of God!

He was serious.

Just prior to his death, the membership of the Church received a January 10th letter authored by Mr. Aaron Dean, Mr. Armstrong's assistant, who sent it out under Mr. Armstrong's signature. Mr. Dean said, all that Mr. Armstrong could do is squeeze his hand in acknowledgment. Mr. Armstrong did not personally type or speak that letter.

Now the condition of Mr. Armstrong's health is deeply concerning. If he wasn't able to speak on January 10, then how could he speak later to the Advisory Council of Elders about choosing Joseph W Tkach Sr as a successor? Why would he choose a successor if he himself said God did not give him the authority to?

Mr. Aaron Dean, has spoken many times on the events surrounding the death of Mr. Armstrong. He described what Mr. Armstrong was doing prior to “picking Tkach”. He spoke of Mr. Armstrong doing something similar to what God had the prophet Samuel do to the sons of Jesse, when choosing a successor. He said Mr. Armstrong would examine the various men on the Advisory Council of Elders, and something would pop up or the minister would say something and God showed Mr. Armstrong that “it cant be him”. So Mr. Armstrong would move on to another man and go through the same process of examination.

When it came to Mr. Aaron Dean, Mr. Armstrong stopped and told him “I want you to be Pastor General”. Mr. Dean refused and claims he “talked Mr. Armstrong out of it”, of making him the next Pastor General of the Worldwide Church of God.

Mr. Armstrong was in a sense was casting lots, and he looked to Jesus Christ to show him the man Christ Himself chose. Mr. Armstrong COULD NOT CHOOSE A SUCCESSOR! He himself said so!

Mr. Gerald Waterhouse, an evangelist of the Worldwide Church of God, gave a sermon (Available on wwcg-archives.com) saying Mr. Armstrong had placed Joseph W Tkach Sr into the role of “Deputy Pastor General”. So if Mr. Armstrong was to die, Mr. Tkach would AUTOMATICALLY become by default the next Pastor General.

Mr. Armstrong died while evaluating Mr. Joseph W Tkach Sr. The last two men to see Mr. Armstrong was Joseph W Tkach Sr and Aaron Dean. They knew the exact time of his death and where he died.

Witnesses claim Two men fled the campus that day, claiming “they killed Mr. Armstrong, and we are next”. I don't know exactly what that implicates. Who are “they”? And was Mr. Armstrong really murdered?

So Joseph Tkach Sr became the next Pastor General of the Worldwide Church of God legally by default. The rest of the men of the ministry rose up to the occasion and supported him.

Looking at the fruits of what happened afterwards, did Christ really want the Church and work to be dismantled and led into perverse doctrines and apostasy?

Was it God's Will that it head that way? Or was it men's choice?

Why would Jesus Christ who had raised up the Worldwide Church of God, lead it into apostasy. He wouldn't.

So the fruits of what happened is evidence that Joseph Tkach was not God's pick. But like a King Saul, God allowed it. We all are given freedom of Choice to walk God's Way or not. Men chose to walk away from God and His Truth and the fruits are plainly evident here.

But whom did God show Mr. Armstrong the man who was to be the next Pastor General of “GOD'S CHURCH”? Not man's church, a physical organization called a Church. Mr. Armstrong wrote and spoke PLENTY about this subject and How to Identify God's Church and what the Church REALLY is!

The man is still around. Mr. Aaron Dean. Christ's Apostle's assistant. A man chosen by God's Apostle and trained to do the duties from the lowest of positions to the highest. Trained to be a Servant to all. And that training was not in vain. But while one is working in another house, God's House lies in ruins so to speak.

Now for all intensive purposes, he is the ONLY man left who had been apart of the choosing of a successor. Jesus Christ through Mr. Armstrong gave him the mantle of spiritual leadership over the ministry, to JUDGE THE HOUSE. Mr. Dean was made to promise that he would STAND UP and condemn sin, and to warn the Church and ministry of departures from Jesus Christ! To KEEP the Church ON GOD'S TRACK! He has said this himself MANY OF TIMES.

That is a spiritual role.

If Tkach was ever to depart from Christ, HE WAS TO SPIRITUALLY LEAD THE CHURCH (under Jesus Christ) INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

That is astounding.

Satan got ahold of Mr. Tkach and the leading men and changed track and direction. Because of this departures God removed Mr. Dean where he was fired and ostracized from Mr. Tkach's team. In the wake of Satan's heat upon those placed by Christ to stand for God and His Truth, Mr. Dean turned his focus on his own house, He wanted a wife, and a family, and 20 years. God answered that prayer. Because it wasn't God's time yet. But in the meantime, the Church slipped into a laodicean condition! Read Haggai 1:4 and surrounding verses. They focused on their own houses instead of Standing up for God's House, God's Church which was being ravaged by those who hated us!

Satan had raised up organizations which are tied to civil governments around the world, and those previously of the Worldwide Church of God went to those organizations to do a work.

Now, they ALL BASE their purpose and WORK, UPON THE JANUARY 10TH LETTER, which AARON DEAN WROTE! Which is the FOUNDATIONAL DOCUMENT of this LAODICEAN CONDITION! In that letter, he wrote “the greatest work lies ahead”. That was from Aaron Dean! Mr. Herbert W Armstrong did not write it.

So for 20 years he helped where he could with God's people among the various COG GROUPS. Like Aaron with the Children of Israel, when Moses was on the Mount Sinai.

At the end of the 20 years, in 2010, Aaron Dean was hired by the United Church of God.

In 2010, our family began to warn the various COG GROUPS of the departures from Jesus Christ!

Aaron Dean's job could no longer be done, because he had JOINED one of the groups that was drastically different than The Worldwide Church of God as it were under Christ's Apostle Mr. Herbert W Armstrong! He married a “strange woman”, a different identity, no longer with those calling themselves “The Worldwide Church of God”, but with an organization called by a different name, with different doctrines and beliefs, yet somewhat appearing like the old church. One may have 99% of what was previously taught, but until one is 100% like the one before, they're not the same at all! That is why God calls the Laodiceans to REPENTANCE! To become God's Church! Although they believe they are God's Church, 100% right.

In Zechariah we read about a Joshua the High Priest, who was UNABLE TO PERFORM HIS PRIESTLY DUTIES in God's Church. In Ezra 10:18, we see that Joshua the High Priest, the PASTOR GENERAL OF THE PRIESTHOOD, married to a strange wife. He was UNABLE TO PERFORM his ministerial and priestly duties in the Temple of God until he put away that strange wife!

So, our family was led to STAND UP and condemn the sin and warn the scattered Church membership of the Worldwide Church of God of the departures from Jesus Christ!

Notice Zechariah 3, and what God does. Joshua the High Priest has Satan standing there ready to resist him. Now Satan wasn't resisting him while being in this condition while married to a “strange wife”. He was READY TO RESIST HIM. Satan was going to resist him if he began to obey God! Mr. Armstrong protested to Mr. Dean that “It comes with the job” regarding the SATANIC attacks and persecutions. One reason WHY Mr. Dean refused to stand up and take the position God was offering him THEN! He told Mr. Armstrong that the One in the leadership role is the one who gets the most attacks and flak. Mr. Armstrong said it comes with the job!

And so the Lord, Jesus Christ Himself rebukes Satan! Satan flees. And that may come only by Prayer and Fasting. If certain demons require Prayer and Fasting to leave, as Jesus Christ says, How much is required for Satan himself?? So this man NEEDS our prayers!

Then Christ tells those that STOOD BEFORE HIM, to remove the filthy garments of this man. Their job was to expose the sin which was keeping this man from performing his temple and priestly duties!

My family has been involved with this, concerning Aaron Dean.

Christ tells this Joshua that Christ himself had CAUSED his iniquity to pass from him. He was behind the work of exposing the sins! Christ tells him that “I will clothe thee with change in raiment”.

Notice Zechariah 3:5, “And I said,(the prophet Zechariah) Let THEM...(Now who are THEM? Those who had been commanded to TAKE AWAY THE FILTHY GARMENTS! Those who stood before Joshua!)...Let THEM set a fair mitre(or crown) upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and CLOTHED HIM WITH GARMENTS.

And the angel of the Lord, or God's messenger, stood by overseeing this task! Going back to what God says in Zechariah 4:9-11. God's Messenger and End Time Elijah is overseeing the crown making, because it is through his hands, the cleansing that was first produced and started. It will be FINISHED by his hands! You cannot REMOVE HERBERT W ARMSTRONG AT ALL!! And it is done by God's Holy Spirit! And God is going to FINISH the CLEANSING OF HIS CHURCH!

Then God's servant begins the task of WARNING this man who has been cleaned up.

Now turn to Zechariah 6, and see more on those who STOOD BEFORE this Joshua, who was given the job of removing the filthy garments using what Christ's Apostle prepared and built and instructed and taught, the instrument and know how, God's WAY of doing things, in this clothing and cleansing of Joshua.

Many of these COG GROUPS will teach that those who stood before Joshua were EVIL PEOPLE. But it is clear Christ was leading them, it was the work of JESUS CHRIST! When God said DO THIS, THEY DID IT!

Zechariah 6:10 & 14, we find a mention of the “house of Josiah, and the house of Hen, the son of Zephaniah”. Commentators will say that this is speaking of one HOUSEHOLD. The complete name would be “Josiah-Hen”. Josiah means “supporter of Yah, or Yah supports”. Hen means “grace”.

God is saying here that ONLY through the WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD and what God gave them, will work! He means what He said! AMEN!

Their job was to receive the materials and the know how to MAKE CROWNS and place them on the head of Joshua. The Blueprint of God's MASTER PLAN. The Way God restored through His Apostle and End Time Elijah Mr. Herbert W Armstrong.

Since 2010, my family has been standing up and condemning sin and warning the Church of departures of what has been taught through Mr. Armstrong, the apostle of Jesus Christ!

That job was first given to Mr. Aaron Dean! But when he joined one of the COG organizations, he could no longer perform that role! He tried to one time, address questions members brought to him in another organization and he was muzzled by the UCG. He could not do it any longer!

So unable to perform his duties, God brought a household, to MAKE CROWNS, to do a work where they end up GIVING TO HIM A CROWN OR POSITION OVER THE HOUSE. The house discussed in the books of Haggai and Zechariah is the Temple of God! Mr. Armstrong said the Worldwide Church of God is the spiritual FULFILLMENT OF THAT TEMPLE!

What have we been fighting for and preserving since 2010 brethren? THE IDENTITY AND EXISTANCE OF THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD!

No one wants it, and Satan has a great deal of people trying to DESTROY that identity, in order to gain the membership of the Worldwide Church of God as members of one of these COG GROUPS.

Christ led this work through my father, until his untimely death in the beginning of this year. In Zechariah 6:11, the household being used by Christ, was to be the instrument God uses to SET UPON the head of the next PASTOR GENERAL the CROWNS which picture authority and leadership! Also it is God's acknowledgment of the Man He Chose! My father died when the job Christ gave to him was FINISHED!!! And his last act was to submit to the man God chose for anointing. That showed us whom God has chosen!

That job will be SET UPON THE HEAD OF A CLEANED UP MAN, who was already chosen to be the Pastor General of the Worldwide Church of God! And very soon this will happen! And the only man God has shown us is Mr. Aaron Dean. But there are things yet to happen before this happens.

Notice what is spoken about NEXT in Zechariah 6.

And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of Hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord: (The BRANCH is Jesus Christ, and no man)

Even he(Christ, The Branch) shall build the temple of the Lord; and he(Christ) shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his(Christ's) throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. (between Christ and this man)

God's Church is pictured BACK ON THE TRACK here!

This pictures God once again RULING His CHURCH through ONE MAN AT A TIME (an absolute truth), but this only happens when this man is cleaned up and placed once again over The Worldwide Church of God membership at this time.

Zechariah 6:14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the Lord.

And they that are far off SHALL COME and build in the temple of the Lord, and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. AND this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.

So the finishing of the Temple, or the CHURCH AGE, will end with this man (pictured by Joshua the High Priest) leading the Church! The last era of the Church is LADICEA! The Philadelphia Church, aka the Worldwide Church of God which Mr. Armstrong was called to raise up and very much involved with, will go into a place of safety and will continue until Christ's return! A remnant of the Worldwide Church of God, will go through the Great Tribulation, and will come out of it, and be GRAFTED BACK IN WITH PHILADELPHIA! Pictured by Romans 11.

Notice Zechariah 6:10!

This happens in the near future!

God's Philadelphia Era of His Church, The Worldwide Church of God will be TAKEN to a Place of Protection. Shown here by “Take”. God uses what the Philadelphia Era of His Church had to pass on to the NEXT ERA, led by this Joshua The High Priest. It is what Christ gave us through His Apostle which is going to put the next era on track! Like Christ says in Revelation 3 concerning Laodicea. God says AMEN first, meaning God meant what He said! They must REPENT and get right with God in ORDER to be God's Church! These verses describe that event. And God has already chosen the leader to lead the rest of them back to God and God's Church!

God says further in verse 6, they need to BECOME God's CHURCH! To be one of those INSIDE God's CHURCH! To Repent and as verse 15 says, “...if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.” Repentance THEN Obedience. Stop doing what you were doing and start doing what God says to do. Just like God says in Revelation 3!

God has been thoroughly involved in preserving THE SPIRITUAL HOUSE which was raised up by God's servant, and end time Zerubbabel, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong. It has not been destroyed as Satan would like you to believe! The Worldwide Church of God STILL EXISTS AND WILL NEVER BE DESTROYED!

Are The Two Witnesses Currently Walking In Our Midst?

 

Are the two witnesses already among us? Many in the COG have claimed they are one of the two witnesses, including Ron Weinland and his dingy wife Laura. We thankfully know for a fact that Bob Thiel is not one. It is an impossibility. Gerald Flurry and Dave Pack are not them either. So who does that leave? Is it me and Dennis? 

We need to look no further than the Kitchen family. Samuel and his brother just might be those two witnesses! Bob Thiel, eat your amateurish heart out! Poor little guy.

Samuel and his brother went on a disastrous journey last year to Jerusalem for the Feast, calling all converted Church of God members to join them there. After having a con pulled on them for hotel reservations, they headed off to Petra. Thankfully while in the Middle East, they did not try and pull a Denis Rohan stunt and start WWIII.

Last year, my brother and I WENT TO JERUSALEM. We were TWO of a family, and the women who came with us from Canada (our mothers in the Lord, 1 Timothy 5:2 "The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity."), were one by a city. We went to Jerusalem to declare the EXISTENCE of the Worldwide Church of God, to send out a call to gather in Jerusalem to KEEP THE SABBATHS OF THE LORD! The Sabbath is a day of rest.

Jeremiah 6:16 reads, "Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein."(more on this chapter later)

Last year, we found no rest in Jerusalem, we found danger! WE HAD TO FLEE JERUSALEM! So God led us to PETRA, where we kept the Sabbaths of the Lord, though some were not there with us enjoying that rest. 

This year, more brethren went to Jerusalem (keeping what God had taught them through His servant Herbert W. Armstrong), and ended up FLEEING from the city and the dangers there, the lockdowns, finding REST in Petra. DO you think God is not preparing those of the body of Christ for the command to FLEE JUDEA when armies of the beast surround Jerusalem?

Remember last week when we reported that COG members in Israel for the Feast thought it would be a good idea to go to Petra as Jewish men, women, and children were being slaughtered? Nothing should ever stop COG members from enjoying their vacations Feast trips! 

Samuel continues:

This will then be the time Jesus speaks about in Luke 21:20-21 “And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.”

Prior to this event, the call to come to Jerusalem was DECLARED! When the armies surround Jerusalem, then the call TO NOT COME TO JERUSALEM shall be declared!

The call to come to Jerusalem, to keep the Sabbaths of the Lord HAS BEEN MADE BRETHREN.

Well, ghastly days! All of you backsliding Laodiceans who REFUSED to heed the call last year to go to Jersuelam are screwed! No more Jerusalem for you! Bad Laodiceans! Bad!

Samuel issues a final warning:

The Worldwide Church of God is heading on a track to JERUSALEM! Those who have departed from God, who can REPENT....PLEASE DO! That's what it is all about! Jesus Christ will forgive our sins, if we confess them to God. The blood of Christ can make you clean AND YOU CAN RETURN AND BE THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD you were originally called to be of.

So there you have it. Salvation is only available if and when you rejoin the one true church, the Worldwide Church of God. 

Philadelphia Church of God And Its Fraudulent Gospel Message Roadshow

 

We have all watched over the last several years as the Philadelphia Church of God has taken its Celtic dance propaganda on the road to try and bamboozle the unsuspecting public that they are receiving a gospel message. They have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars building dance studios on the cult compound to cater to  Flurry's grandkids and others to learn Irish dance. These wanna-be Michael Flatley's believe they are dancing the sacred dance of David and of the Israelitish peoples.

This shere lunacy got spurred on by the absolutely asinine idea that the dirty rock they dug up in Oregon, which Herbert supposedly prayed at, was to be the new coronation stone that the creature they call "christ" would come back and sit upon after wiping out 1/3 of humanity. 

PCG has spent millions in tithe money to fund this traveling shitshow of absurdity. They have just completed a seven-week roadshow with this production. Apparently, some members have dared to complain about the cost this has incurred on the church, its members, and the families of the dancers. 

So, to dispel these nasty rebellious rumors spurred on by Satan himself, the PCG instructed Lil'Joel to spread the good news about this awesome gospel message. After spending more time in the closet coming up with the proper things to say, he wrote an article for the Philadelphia Strumpet.

COGNews had this up the other day:

Irish Dancing? Why are we doing this? 

 

In the November-December 2023 issue of their magazine Royal Vision, Joel Hilliker writes:

“My wife and I were able to join the seven-week CelticThrone tour this summer.

This show is the result of years of work God has been doing, working with families and providing opportunities.

Yet for most of those years, we had no idea where it was leading.

Our pastor general didn’t have a master plan to one day stage a traveling show to perform for audiences nationwide. Surely God had that goal in mind, but He had to gauge our interest and commitment. Mr Flurry supported and encouraged the program, but it was every family’s decision whether to make the sacrifices needed to attend classes and competitions.

Did you notice that the members were being tested to see how they reacted to this shitshow? If it had failed then the members would be at fault. They failed the test. 

After all, EVERYTHING that goes wrong in the Church of God movement is the member's fault, never the idiot leaders' fault, just the members.

I’ll be honest: I was not very excited about it. It required significant travel and great expense, absorbed a lot of time and energy, and provoked much disappointment and many tears – such as when competition results failed expectations and dashed hopes.

At times I thought, Why are we doing this? Is this really best for my family?

The answer, for me, basically came down to one thing: 

 

This is what Mr Flurry wants. God’s man is encouraging it; he’s opening doors and providing opportunities – so we are going to do it.” 

 

Is Joel Hilliker subtly questioning the diversion of increasingly great resources toward an entertainment that has little if anything to do with spreading the gospel?

It is no longer shocking to see the lengths that various Church of God groups will go to NOT discuss Jesus or anything about the New Covenant that they are "supposedly" followers of. Instead, these COG's continually look back to the good old days of the Old Coveant when all the rules and regulations were laid out for them to follow. That wonderful period of time when their god was eagerly looking for ways to destroy humanity. They look back with wanton desire at Hebrew prophets and personalities who were strong men of faith wishing and believing that they could only be like them. The hero worship of these guys by the PCG is appalling. Imagine if they put that much energy into actually being a follower of Jesus!

Jesus has to be up there in that heavenly kitchen thinking, "What the Gehenna fire is wrong with these people? After all this mess with Bob Thiel, we now have to deal with this. Ghastly days, all they had to do was simply follow me and be at rest and at peace."
