Crackpot Prophet: All COG Groups Are WRONG Except For Me Regarding Iran

 

Our favorite resident crackpot self-appointed prophet to the Church of God and the world in these perilous end times had another comedy sketch up on his website the other day. 

As everyone now is aware of the recent debacle of Iran firing missiles at Israel the other day, this has set the tongues wagging in all the COG groups that this is a sure sign of the end times. Most COG groups have made some kind of comment on it. This has popped the cherry on the Great Bwana to Africa and the 100 occasional Caucasians. He is not happy that they are saying all the wrong things, despite the fact he has tried to educate them all on the one true end-time message.

This was his headline:


The Great Bwana Mzungu takes great exception to Gerald Flurry and the Philadelphia Church of God and their comments, as well as teh Dave Pack and the Restored Church of God, and  Mark Armstrong of the International Church of God. UCG and others also take the hit. I'm not going to post all of the Great Bwana's blabberfest of useless speculation, so you can read it all here.

But, here is what God's most important man to ever lead a Church of God in the history of humanity has to say:

As long-time readers of this COGwriter Church of God News page are aware, for over a decade I have warned, based on Isaiah 22:6-9, that Iran would attack Israel. What we saw this past weekend from Iran is not that, but looks to be setting the stage up for it.

Last year, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following Bible News Prophecy video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel related to Iran and Israel:


15:03
Iran and Israel Conflict
European Union foreign policy chief, Josep Borrel, has been brokering the nuclear negotiations involving Iran and said that he thinks the deal is “in danger.” Iran blames the United States, whereas the USA says they are not delaying it. Israeli sources stated that Israel will stop Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. Joe Biden says the USA would use its own military power to prevent Iran from getting such a bomb if need be. In 2021, Iranian lawmakers have submitted a bill seeking the government by law to commit to Israel’s destruction by the year 2040. Does the 22nd chapter of Isaiah point to damage coming to Israel from Iran and possibly Syria? Might Iran be concerned enough about limited progress with the USA to launch some type of attack? Is Iran the prophesied ‘King of the South’? Is it reasonable to think that the prophesied peace deal of Daniel 9:27 will not happen until after a military conflict. like a regional war? Should Christians watch the Middle East? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie discuss these matters.
Here is a link to our video: Iran and Israel Conflict
 
We are in a time of wars and rumors of wars as Jesus foretold (Matthew 24:4-8).

Believe the Bible, which has “a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts” (2 Peter 1:19, KJV). 
 
Use God’s criteria, not your emotions or improper views of others, regarding understanding prophetically related events. 
 
World events are aligning with properly understood biblical prophecies.

In the modern history of the Church of God movement, there has not been one single self-appointed prophet to the church that has ever been correct. They have all been liars - including Bob Thiel! No one in their right mind should be listening to these guys.

The Great Bwana will soon be expecting us to do this once we realize his awesomeness:

PCG: Another Young Person Dies Due To Abhorrent Church Doctrines


This is the disgusting legacy that the Church of God movement will always have tarnishing its already sick reputation when it comes to the use of medical help. The needless loss of life of hundreds, if not thousands of people over the decades due to the aberrant teachings of Herbert Armstrong and his illegitimate progeny lording themselves of today's splinter groups regarding the use of the medical profession is appalling. Sadly, it is always the members who suffer and never the leadership or the ministry since they all tend to make regular use of doctors.


Teen-Age Girl in PCG Dies:
April 14, 2024
I was devastated to hear about Kaitlyn Michelle Davis, the 19 year old unbaptized girl in PCG from North Carolina, who died of health issues. She evidently did not go see a doctor. She had struggled with health issues for several years and which gradually worsened. Finally her health took a “sudden turn for the worse” After “counseling” with the ministry, she decided she “wanted her life totally in God’s hands” and so she put her faith in God to heal her. Her health deteriorated and her pain became severe until she eventually died last October. The funeral service was held by Wik Heerma. She leaves behind a mother and two younger sisters. I wish these Armstrong cults that are scamming, deceiving and causing people’s lives to be cut short would be investigated and shut down! –[name withheld] Exit and Support Network
