1375 SECOND Passover for PCG as EPHRAIM Nu 9. 10 is on NIGHT of 3rd May 2025 to be as disciples in NEW JERUSALEM Rev. 21.14 for blessings due to Joseph is for EPHRAIM Gen. 48.20
1st May 2025
SABBATH
Read in PART 2--
When LORD says EPHRAIM SINS
PCG as EPHRAIM would NOT RECEIVE BLESSINGS DUE TO JOSEPH
BLESSING to JOSEPH---Gen 49:25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
· Now the LORD is WITHHOLDING the blessings written for JOSEPH IN Gen. 49;25---which are DUE FOR EPHRAIM, Ge 49.22-25-
Hos 9:11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
Hos 9; 11 means NO CHILDREN --NO FOOD for them---THEN COVENANT OF ABRAHAM would SUFFER---(LORD would NOT ALLOW SINNERS to MOVE FORWARD).
LORD requires PEOPLE as SAND from ABRAHAM, Ge 22; 17
Gen 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Gen 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
SECOND PASSOVER on NIGHT of 3rd May 2025, Nu 9;10-13
EPHRAIM has to GET READY for EVERLASTING COVENANT, Eze. 16;60
Now EPHRAIM does NOT UNDERSTAND!
Isa 28:1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
Isa 28:2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
· LORD sends a MIGHTY FLOOD containing HIS WORDS as a DESTROYING STORM!
The word of GOD acts on HIS LAND the church
Jer_4:20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled
Isa_13:6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
Isa 28:3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
Lam_3:48 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Jol_1:15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
A DESTRUCTION DETERMINED UPON WHOLE EARTH
Isa 28:22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
· These are prophecies of LORD ALMIGHTY!
· Compare with prophecies of H.W. Armstrong and Gerald Flurry!
BUT THE LORD is BUSY making HIS PEOPLE
READY FOR HIS MARRIAGE
The DISCIPLES of Rev. 21;14 have to be READY!
LORD chose TWELVE DISCIPLES among many believers of Him, the DISCIPLES were taught by JESUS CHRIST ALL things ABOUT KINGDOM OF GOD, WHICH would be THROUGH THE ONE SACRIFICE of JESUS CHRIST.
In the END LORD CHOOSES TWELVE DISCIPLES AGAIN for NEW JERUSALEM
Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Understand from Ac 1—
The Promise of the Holy Spirit
Act 1:1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Act 1:2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that He through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
Act 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Act 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith He, ye have heard of Me.
The disciples had heard Words of Eternal Life
Joh 6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
Joh 6:61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
What OFFENDED (troubled) the disciples?
Understand that DISCIPLES did not understand
That JESUS CHRIST is LIVING BREAD, and that we are to EAT HIS FLESH AND DRINK HIS BLOOD!
Joh 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
Joh 6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
Joh 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Joh 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Joh 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Joh 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
Joh 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
Joh 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live forever.
AND JESUS CHRIST TAUGHT HOW TO EAT HIS FLESH
AND HOW TO DRINK HIS BLOOD
Institution of the Lord's Supper
Mat 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
Mat 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
THE PURPOSE OF HIS BLOOD
Is for NEW COVENANT, for people to ENTER NEW COVENANT
BY REMISSION of (CLEANSING from) SINS
Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Mat 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
· THAT IS ENTERING NEW COVENANT without SIN!!
· Then the PURPOSE OF Passover BREAD AND WINE is a TOKEN of ENTERING NEW COVENANT without SIN!
· Therefore CRUCIFIED CHRIST (HIS FLESH AND BLOOD in CRUCIFIED CHRIST) removes SIN, Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins
· So we understand the NEW COVENANT which is EVERLASTING, Heb. 13;20, is SANCTIFIES believers AS SINLESS
· Therefore DISCIPLES TAUGHT of REPENTANCE before LORD and SEEK FORGIVENESS understanding THAT CHRIST HAD PAID THE PENALTY for every believer’s SINS!
Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
JOHN PREPARED THE WAY FOR REPENTANCE
Mat_26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Mrk_1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
Luk_3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Luk_1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
AFTER HIS RESURRECTION (before ascension) JESUS CHRIST
Reminded DICIPLES again
Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
· But H.W. Armstrong did not teach of CRUCIFIED CHRIST through PROPHECIES!!
· PCG should examine what they had learned from H.W. Armstrong!
· DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST were taught that PROPHECIES are about JESUS CHRIST, FOR HE REQUIRES people to be MADE FREE FROM HIS BAPTISM, to GIVE SALVATION in EVERLASTING COVENANT!
· When other things like H.W. Armstrong COLLAGES, AUDITORIUMS, INSTITUTIONS, MUSEUM of ARCHAELOGICAL ARTIFACTS are RUBBISH!!
LORD OPENED understanding of disciples through scriptures, the WORD OF GOD
Luk 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Lk 24;44--all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me.
· THIS IS CREATOR JESUS CHRIST teaching!!
· We are to LEARN OF HIM!!
But PCG leaders submitting to Gerald Flurry taught and exalted NAME OF H.W. Armstrong!!
· And PHILADELPHIA CHURCH of GOD corrupt minds of people in THE WORLD!
WRITINGS OF Gerald Flurry is in the following article of his
Why Our College Is Named After Herbert W. Armstrong --By Gerald Flurry • Aug. 22, 2019-----(Repeated in TRUMPET on Aug 13th 2022)
The Philadelphia Church of God sponsors a private liberal arts college. Why our college is named Herbert W. Armstrong College? We had many different names to choose from, and spent a considerable amount of time searching for the right name.
Herbert W. Armstrong was one of the most prominent religious leaders of the 20th century.
Parts of that article is referred in article No. 1172!
Gerald Flurry’s article had been discussed in a general way in No. 1162 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
Compare Hos. 2;11-13 with Gerald Flurry’s writings
On how PCG is made to follow H. W. Armstrong
ALL TEACHINGS in BIBLE
Concerns JESUS CHRIST AS ALMIGHTY CREATOR!
Lk 24;44--all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me.
LORD counselled to DIE as a LAMB, 1 Pe 1;19-20
TO GIVE FORGIVENESS, Rom. 6; 3-7,
To HIS believers
Who HEAR HIS SALVATION!
Luk 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Mat_12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. (so book of Jonah teaches of CHRIST, AND HOW NINEVITES REPENTED of their SINS) ---but H.W. Armstrong did not teach of CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST and therefore H.W. Armstrong DID NOT PREACH REPENTANCE in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST
Mat_12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Luk 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Luk_11:30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
Luk_11:32 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Disciples are to WITNESS of
Things of JESUS CHRIST
Luk 24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
Luk 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
LORD HELPS us through HOLY SPIRIT
The WORDS OF HIS GIVING US HIS INSPIRATION
Act_2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
2Ti_3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Job32:8 But there is a spirit in man: the inspiration of Almighty giveth understanding.
ALL DISCIPLES the SO CALLED TEACHERS OF CHRIST
Are to WITNESS to RECEIVE REMISSION OF SINS
Act_10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
LORD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS GIVEN to us from HIS BLOOD
Received at Passover BELIEVING AND HAVING FAITH in
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS unto HOLINESS, baptismal words of
JESUS CHRIST, Rom. 6;3-23!
Rom_3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
· WITHOUT REMISSION for PAST SINS we cannot ENTER KINGDOM OF GOD
· LORD IS NOT PARTIAL, ---ALL ARE TO REPENT ---NONE COULD BE PROUD AGAINST HIM!!
Mal_2:9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
Jas_2:4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
· Gerald Flurry allows sinners who are obedient to him to be in CHURCH---HE WOULD DISFELLOWSHIP others if others ARE OBEDIENT TO SCRIPTURES OF GOD!
· He cannot say “NO” –he was very rude to us gentiles to PUT US AWAY FROM CHURCH, when our minister tried to SAVE HIM from dungeon of Jeremiah, Jer. 39.
The Sin of Partiality
Jas 2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
Jas 2:2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
Jas 2:3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
Jas 2:4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
Jas 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
Jas 2:6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
Jas 2:7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
Jas 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
Jas 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
Jas 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Jas 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
· WHEN LEADERS THROW OUT BELIEVERS from GOD’S CHURCH, it is KILLING THEIR SPIRITUAL LIVES!!
· If LEADERS ARE PARTIAL, ---how would they receive GOD’S WORDS given to CHURCH, if they are PUT OUT!!?
· Gerald Flurry, should you NOT SEEK FORGIVENESS FROM THE GOOD LORD who loves RICH AND POOR ALIKE!!
THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR JESUS CHRIST to be BORN IN INN
And BABY JESUS was LAID in A MANGER
Luk 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
Luk 2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Luk 2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
Luk 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
Luk_2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Luk_2:16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
· THE POSSESSOR OF THIS WORLD had NO PLACE to be BORN!!
Mat_8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
AND CHRIST our LORD GATHERS ALL THINGS
Which OFFEND HIS KINGDOM
AND THEM WHO DOES INIQUITY, Mat.13.41
Mat_13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Mat_13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
· Gathers all things made to honour H.W. Armstrong!
· And gathers all who DOES INQUITY, they are to REPENT AND BE BAPTISED TO RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT so that they RECEIVE INSPIRATION from LORD to UNDERSTAND THE WAY TO KINGDOM OF GOD!!
And CHRIST our LORD FORGIVES those who REPENT, therefore HIS BAPTISM TEACHES REPENTANCE ---
Mat_9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
Mat_9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
WHEN FREE OF SIN by Rom. 6; 3-7, they RECEIVE LIBERTY
Jas 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
BUT LEADERS WHO DO NOT SHOW MERCY would BE JUDGED
Jas 2:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
Faith Without Works is Dead
Jas 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Jas 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Jas 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
JUST BELIEVING in GOD ALMIGHTY would NOT BE ENOGH
TO ENTER KINGDOM OF GOD
Jas 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Jas 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
· Gen. 22 teaches how ABRAHAM would sacrifice HIS ONLY SON!
· And LORD did TESTED ABRAHAM whether HE HAS FAITH IN GOD!
· That TEST was ENOUGH FOR ALMIGHTY GOD for HE KNEW HE WOULD BE THE TRUE SEED OF ABRAHAM, Gal 3;16, to DIE INSTEAD OF ISAAC, Heb. 11;17-19,
· For NO OTHER BLOOD could REDEEM SINNERS!!
So faith in GOD was THE WORK OF ABRAHAM
To prove his RIGHTEOUSNESS
Jas 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
Jas 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Jas 2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
· BODY is DEAD without HOLY SPIRIT
· Therefore LORD GIVES HOLY SPIRIT when they receive BAPTISM UNTO JESUS CHRIST, Ac 2;38, 39
COMFORTER IS HOLY SPIRIT
And DISCIPLES should be WITH HIM ALWAYS
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me
Joh 15:27 And ye also shall bear witness,---- because ye have been with Me from the beginning.
Act 1:2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
Act 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Act 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
JESUS CHRIST said—
Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
So BAPTISM unto JESUS CHRIST would be with HOLY SPIRIT, to Jews and those of far, Ac 2;38, 39
· PCG having baptism unto John DID NOT RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT!
SO TO BE DISCIPLES LEVI should receive HOLY SPIRIT and BE WITH HIM ALWAYS,
· Therefore we gentiles had ‘CHRIST IN US” ,
Paul was teacher of Gentiles—
2Ti 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
2Ti 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
2Ti 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 1:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
· NOT MEN’S WORDS, but HOLY SPIRIT the WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST has to DWELL in US, Jn. 6;63
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
· So Passover BLOOD has MANY POWERS required for SALVATION to enter KINGDOM OF GOD
· And Passover BREAD as WORD HE SPEAKS, the SPIRIT of HIS, Jn.6; 63 ---the HOLY SPIRIT TEACHES all things HE DOES BY HIS SACRIFICE to ENTER KINGDOM OF GOD!
· The MANY BLESSINGS OF HIS BLOOD and SACRIFICE is written with HIS SPIRIT, THE FLESH of HIS, Jn. 6;63.
Paul's Ministry to the Church
Col 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
Col 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
· When “CHRIST IS IN YOU” ---we understand all blessings we receive TO HAVE IN US through CRUCIFIED CHRIST!
· CHRIST means GOD coming in FLESH to be THE PERFECT ONE OFFERING for EVERLASTING COVENANT, which would be ESTABLISHED in the midst of PCG as EPHRAIM!
Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Col 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
His sacrifice LEADS US TO GOD to WORSHIP HIM
IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, Jn. 4;23, 24
1Pe_3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1Pe_4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
1Jn_1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1Jn_5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Rev_1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
The Ascension
Act 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Act 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
· WITHOUT HOLY SPIRIT disciples CANNOT TEACH OF CHRIST!
· So A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST has to be A WITNESS OF GOD, understanding SCRIPTURES!
· Therefore HELPER is HOLY SPIRIT
Act 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
The Coming of the Lord
1Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
· Which are ASLEEP means ‘DEAD TO SIN” Rom. 6;2
· Not to sorrow because they ARE TO BE RAISED BY Rom. 6; 3-7 (WITHOUT SIN)
1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
· Therefore we are to believe CRUCIFIED CHRIST (DIED) rose again
· Similarly, those who are DEAD TO SIN, Rom. 6;2 (Dead to SIN are sleeping in Jesus, as LORD has to RAISE them)
LORD said LAZARUS was SLEEPING when he was DEAD!
Joh 11:11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Joh 11:12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Joh 11:13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
Joh 11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
· GOD as CREATOR chose to DIE and RESURRECT as SON OF GOD to make SINNERS among PREDESTINED to LIVE without sin unto RIGHTEOUSNESS,
· LORD’s image is HEAVENLY---HE has IMAGE of RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS
1Co_15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
2Co_4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Col_1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col_3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Heb_1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
· Those scriptures are about JESUS CHRIST granting IMAGE OF GOD to His believers through HIS SACRIFICE.
1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
· LORD descend from HEAVEN (remember He ascended into HEAVEN, Ac 1;9)
· He would come with TRUMP of GOD
· And the DEAD in CHRIST RISE FIRST (those sleeping in CHRIST)
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
· Some are ALIVE (they the GENTILES were baptised earlier) and REMAIN –they JOIN THOSE WHO RISE as in 1 Thes 4; 16
· THEY ALL MEET THE LORD in AIR
· They would be WITH THE LORD FOREVER—1 The 4;17-so shall we ever be with the Lord.
· THAT IS JOINING IN Rev.21;10-- Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, that is NEW JERUSALEM!
· AND WE SEE--- Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
· Therefore LORD’S people as EPHRAIM are to WORK OUT THEIR SALVATION, being COMFORTED with WORD OF GOD!
But A SEVERE PROBLEM
LORD’S church has ANOTHER IMAGE –A GRAVEN IMAGE in PCG the church of God LORD had written them as PROPHECIES
Lev_26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
Jer_51:17 Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
A GRAVEN IMAGE of A BEAST
This was done by Gerald Flurry giving LIFE
To the DEAD H.W. Armstrong
Rev_13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
LORD’S SWORD WOUNDED H.W. Armstrong
And he became VAIN, Rom. 1;18-26 and NOT UNDERSTOOD THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST, which is TRUTH, Gal 3;1
God's Wrath on Unrighteousness
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
· CRUCIFIED CHRIST IS TRUTH, Gal 3;1 to bring in RIGHTEOUSNESS when LORD’s BAPTISM IS HONOURED, Rom. 6;3-23
· And H.W. Armstrong MADE CHURCH people TO BE BAPTISED UNTO JOHN!
Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
· CREATION makes us UNDERSTAND THAT JESUS CHRIST AS CREATOR as GOD ALMIGHTY made ALL THINGS
· But H.W. Armstrong honoured a MAN’S BAPTISM, he AND ALL THOSE who were baptised to JOHN are WITHOUT EXCUSE!!
· LORD cannot make any man to baptise others AS ALL MEN ARE SINFUL, THEIR SACRIFCE WOULD NEVER PROFIT TO MAKE ANY RIGHTEOUS!
· MORE OVER, ALMIGHTY GOD COUNSELED HIMSELF TO BE LAMB, 1 Pe 1;19-20, to be RAISED by HIMSELF, Jn.10;18!
· No sinner could raise by HIMSELF!
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
· He was VAIN, he compared him to be ELIAS, ZERUBBABEL, etc., which he cannot prove BIBLICALLY.
ELIAS—
Mat 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Mat 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Mat 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
Mat 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
ZERUBBABEL---
Zec_4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
· H.W. Armstrong was vain—he used gold cutlery
· He made himself AS AMBASSODOR for WORLD PEACE, and travelled ALL OVER THE WORLD, MEETING leaders of countries as GOD’S messenger (who never even honoured LORD’S CROSS!)
COULD ANYONE SEE the FRUITS of H.W. Armstrong being the AMBASSODOR OF PEACE in GOD’S EARTH??
1Th_5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
· Travail upon a woman (as not being able to produce children for COVENANT) came to PCG when they followed H.W. Armstrong as a god!!
Peace comes from GOD THROUGH SACRIFICE
OF JESUS CHRIST
Col_1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Col_3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful
1Th_5:13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
GOD OF PEACE to SANCTIFY to be BLAMELESS
When CHRIST COMES
1Th_5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Th_1:2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Th_3:16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
· H.W. Armstrong as FOUNDER of AMBASSODOR of INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL FOUNDATION!! (NEVER THE LORD’S DISCIPLES THOUGHT OF SUCH THINGS!)
· We know PEACE is given by BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, Col.1;20, BUT H.W. Armstrong DID NOT KNOW JESUS CHRIST!
· As Rom. 1; 21 says---his FOOLISH HEART was DARKENED!
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
· HE as EDITOR of “PLAIN TRUTH” he wrote on CHRIST as a LESSER BEING! (from internet sites)
· And Gerald Flurry learning from him DID NOT KNOW JESUS CHRIST AS LAMB!
Who would have to get ready for Rev. 19;7, 8
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
Rev 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
· Gerald Flurry wrote PCG got ENGAGED to CHRIST in Eze. 16;8!
· The MARRIAGE COVENANT is EVERLASTING COVENANT, Eze. 16;60!!
Rev 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Rev 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
· Well, the ministry of PCG would know H.W. Armstrong better than what I WRITE!
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
· NOT UNDERSTANDING SCRIPTURES, H.W. Armstrong wrote many prophetic books PROJECTING TO THE NATIONS of WORLD, using scriptures which WERE PROPHECIES TO LORD’S CHURCH and for DAY OF LORD!
· Gerald Flurry continued 70 YEAR prophecy –Isa. 23;15—18 is prophecy for Gerald Flurry
Isa 23:15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
Isa 23:16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
Isa 23:17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
Isa 23:18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
PCG continues Rom. 1;24-
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Lam_4:6 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
BUT LORD SAVED CHURCH BEING SODOM
Rom 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
Rom 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
Israel's Unbelief
LORD JESUS CHRIST became to WCG AND PCG as
A STUMBLING STONE, Rom. 9;32
Rom 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
· GENTILES sought RIGHTEOUSNESS by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
Rom 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
· WCG and PCG sought RIGHTEOUSNESS through KEEPING LAW
· Yet THEY DO NOT KEEP TRUE DATE OF Passover on 14TH NIGHT even!
· THEY SHOULD TURN TO GOD TO DO AS WORD OF GOD SAYS!
Rom 9:32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Rom 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
That STUMBLING STONE IS CORNER STONE, Isa. 28;16
A Cornerstone in Zion
Isa 28:14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
Isa 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Isa 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
Isa 28:17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
Isa 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
These writings are the OVERFLOWING SCOURGE
LORD SENDS TO PHILADELPHIA CHURCH of GOD
To TREAD THEM, La 1;15
Isa 28:19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
· THIS IS WORD OF THE LORD!
Eze. 16 IS PROPHECIES FOR PHILADELPHIA CHURCH of GOD
Ezk_16:46 And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
Ezk_16:48 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
Ezk_16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
Ezk_16:53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
Ezk_16:55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
Ezk_16:56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,
Amo_4:11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
· The CREATURE H.W. Armstrong is being WORSHIPPED more than THE CREATOR OF THIS WORLD!
GOD FAMILY VISION (1st edition) –GERALD FLURRY wrote—Page 87—para 4—
“As you study this, you will begin to understand that honoring Mr. Armstrong as our father is very closely tied to honoring God the Father.”
WRITINGS OF Gerald Flurry is in the following article of his
Why Our College Is Named After Herbert W. Armstrong --By Gerald Flurry • Aug. 22, 2019-----(Repeated in TRUMPET on Aug 13th 2022)
The Philadelphia Church of God sponsors a private liberal arts college. Why our college is named Herbert W. Armstrong College? We had many different names to choose from, and spent a considerable amount of time searching for the right name.
Herbert W. Armstrong was one of the most prominent religious leaders of the 20th century.
THUS an IMAGE was made in name of H.W. Armstrong!
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
· VILE AFFECTIONS—and NATURAL USE is KEEPING MARRIAGES PERFECT without breaking FAMILY---the answers are in Lev 18 (please read Lev 18) ,
· Women becoming Neighbours’ wives, Eze. 33;25, 26, is AGAINST NATURAL marriage, WHEN GOD MARRIED COUPLES!! (Ge 2;
Eze 33:26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile everyone his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land? (“your sword”IS YOUR OWN WORDS LIKE A LION in GOD’S LAND, Jer_2:30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
Below are THEIR OWN SWORD at WORKS
Eze 22:9 In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
Eze 22:10 In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
Eze 22:11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
Eze 22:12 In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 22:13 Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
Eze 22:14 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
Rev_13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
· That is DISFELLOWSHIPPING brethren, when the RULES of leaders as BEASTS, Ps. 49;20, are not KEPT!
Compare Hos. 2;11-13 with Gerald Flurry’s writings
On how PCG is made to follow H. W. Armstrong by Gerald Flurry
Hos. 2;11-- I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. GOD CAUSES destruction of SERVICE amidst PCG because they HONOUR words of H. W. Armstrong instead of CHRIST our LORD ---as written by Gerald Flurry –(read his quotes below)
12 -And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.---Good trees destroyed, so they have NO BRANCHES (boughs) to make booths at Feast of Tabernacles!---BEASTS of forest are eating the debris of trees!
13-And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.—the BEASTS were instrumental to make BAAL worship! ----THEY FORGOT GOD, says the LORD!
More Comments—Ec 12; 11-13 says to FEAR GOD and keep Commandments of God made known from ONE BOOK of GOOD SHEPHERD!
· But Gerald Flurry teaches the church to CARRY ON what H. W. Armstrong taught!
· Therefore Hos. 2; 11 -13 fulfilled in PCG—they never keep new moons, or the way David did, 1 Ch 23; 30-32, (Hos. 2; 11) when David had the KEY to perform duties of GOD ALMIGHTY
Psa 49:20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
· Hos. 2; 12—PCG has NO GOOD FRUITS---but BEASTS, led by H. W. Armstrong as PCG hears and do according to words of H. W. Armstrong ---beast power of Rev. 13, 14, 17 fulfills amidst PCG!
· Hos. 2; 13—honouring H. W. Armstrong as BAALIM---PCG ministry and people were made to FORGET GOD, says GOD!
Psa 49:20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
In the following writings Gerald Flurry confirms that it is the church which committed GREAT WHOREDOM!
Pg 2 of Hosea booklet, Gerald Flurry wrote---God’s church has committed GREAT WHOREDOM, departing from THE LORD—You cannot depart from the LORD IF YOU NEVER KNEW HIM! THE NATIONS OF ISRAEL HAVE NEVER KNOWN GOD SINCE HE DIVORCED THEM!
PARA 2—Gerald Flurry wrote—
IT IS VERY OFTEN USED FIGURATIVELY—of IDOLATRY—(to go whoring after strange gods)—the people worshipping strange gods are compared to an ADULTEROUS WOMAN. The woman is used as a symbol of a church in the bible,
This woman in Hosea is even called an adulterous woman, (Hos 3: 1).
Para 4—
HOSEA IS DISCUSSING GOD’S OWN CHURCH, WHICH WAS MARRIED TO THE OMNIPOTENT GOD IN THIS END TIME!---SO WHEN THEY TURN AWAY FROM HIM,----IT IS NO SMALL SIN----IT IS A GREAT WHOREDOM!
PCG made a STANDING IMAGE to BOW DOWN to IT!
Lev_26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
Jer_51:17 Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
COMMENT—
NO BREATH IN THE STANDING IMAGE of H.W. Armstrong!!
Words of Gerald Flurry shows that they had the covenant AS MARRIED, Eze. 16: 8, and they are responsible for idolatry, they had turned away from God---A GREAT WHOREDOM!
Today we see WORLD SCENE!!!
Are those prophecies of H.W. Armstrong fulfilling?
PCG leader compared TRUMP to Jeroboam , in 2020
Jeroboam is ONE WHO IS IN BIBLE PROPHECIES about LEADERS WHO ARE AGAINST JERUSALEM, they WORK IN SAMARIA--- 2Ki_13:6 Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also in Samaria.)
1Ki_11:31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:
1Ki_11:40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
1Ki_12:25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein;
· 1Ki_12:32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
· H.W. Armstrong MADE 13TH NIGHT to observe Passover!
· People should CORRECT THEIR ERRORS!
Month of ABIB the 1st month of year, Ex. 12;2
This day in the month ABIB you CAME OUT OF EGYPT, Ex. 13;4
The Passover LAMB killed on 14TH DAY in THE NIGHT, Ex. 12;6
Eat with UNLEAVENED BREAD—Ex. 12;8, 15-17
SAME DAY they were taken out of Egypt, Ex. 12;17
SAME NIGHT is SOLEMN NIGHT to be remembered, Ex. 12; 42
SAME NIGHT they left Egypt—Ex. 12; 51
Luk_22:1 the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
1Ki_13:33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.
· In Bamah ABOMINATION, PCG did so!!
· The PRIESTS they made did not even know SABBATHS!
1Ki_13:34 And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
SIMILARLY, PCG leader as ASYRIAN WOULD be NO MORE, Isa. 14;25,26
People of God’s church underestimated THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST!
Gerald Flurry EVEN WROTE THAT JESUS CHRIST DID NOT OPEN THE SEALS OF Revelations, (Mt 24 transcript, on 18/ 5/ 2013) --- LEADER could not SEE or READ that CHRIST, the Lamb opened seals of Revelations --Rev. 6: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12—and the 7th seal in 8: 1,
PCG MADE DEAD H.W. Armstrong to LIVE AS A BEAST
MAKING HIS IMAGE TO STAND----
Rev_14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
· THOSE WHO HONOUR THE BEAST, knows about beast having the MARK ON his FOREHEAD, and WRITE of BEAST using THEIR HANDS!
Rev_14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
· ALL THE ERRED WORKS WOULD BE IN SMOKE!!
ALL ERRED PEOPLE WOULD BE SAVED
WHEN THEY RECEIVE BAPTISM UNTO DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST
And they would RAISE IN NEWNESS OF LIFE, Rom. 6; 2-23
They would be ALIVE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS ---
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
PART 2
Ephraim like a silly dove, Hos 7:11-16
AND EPHRAIM is LIKENED to PCG who receives
EVERLASTING COVENANT, Eze. 16;60
READ AND UNDERSTAND
When LORD says EPHRAIM SINS
PCG as EPHRAIM would NOT RECEIVE BLESSINGS DUE TO JOSEPH
Gen 49:25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
· Now the LORD is WITHOLDING the blessings written for JOSEPH IN Gen. 49;25--Hos 9:11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
PCG should HEED TO THE WORDS OF CHASTEENING
BY CHRIST our LORD to be PURIFED AS WRITTEN
Hos 7:11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
Hos 7:12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
Hos 7:13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
Hos 7:14 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
Hos 7:15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
Hos 7:16 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
LORD comes like an Eagle for transgressing His COVENANT,
THEY rebelled against Him, Hos 8:1-11
Hos 8:1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
Hos 8:2 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
Hos 8:3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
Hos 8:4 They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
Hos 8:5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
Hos 8:6 For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
Hos 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
Hos 8:8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
Hos 8:9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
Hos 8:10 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
Hos 8:11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
Hos 8:12 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
(Ephraim hired lovers, vs 9, Ephraim made many altars for sin, vs 11,12, they returned Egypt, ISRAEL forgotten their maker, vs 14—Hos 8:9-12)
What will Ephraim do in feast day, Hos 9:5, 8,9
Hos 9:5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
Hos 9:8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
Hos 9:9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
Therefore LORD compares PCG to GIBEAH-(vs 9—SIN of Gibeah written in Judg 19:12-30
LEARN THE TERRIBLE CRIME BENGAMITES HAD DONE TO
A LEVITE’S CONCUBINE, and what THE LEVITE DID to HER
Jud. 19:1-2 says of a LEVITE who took a concubine as wife, but that woman PLAYED HARLOT against Him. So she too was a corrupt woman!
A Levite and His Concubine
Jdg 19:1 And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehemjudah.
Jdg 19:2 And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him unto her father's house to Bethlehemjudah, and was there four whole months.
Jdg 19:3 And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father's house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
AND LEVITE and the woman were returning back –although FATHER said to wait the night and go in the morning--
Jdg 19:10 But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, his concubine also was with him.
Jdg 19:11 And when they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
Jdg 19:12 And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside hither into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah.
Jdg 19:13 And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
Jdg 19:14 And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
Jdg 19:15 And they turned aside thither, to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging.
Jdg 19:16 And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.
Jdg 19:17 And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?
Jdg 19:18 And he said unto him, We are passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I: and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that receiveth me to house.
Jdg 19:19 Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man which is with thy servants: there is no want of anything.
Jdg 19:20 And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.
Jdg 19:21 So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
Gibeah's Crime
Jdg 19:22 Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
Jdg 19:23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
Jdg 19:24 Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
Jdg 19:25 But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
Jdg 19:26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
Jdg 19:27 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
Jdg 19:28 And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place.
· She was DEAD!
LEVITE CUTS her INTO TWELVE PIECES!
Jdg 19:29 And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.
Jdg 19:30 And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds.
We see that the Levite’s concubine was ABUSED by Benjamites and she was dead, so Levite cut her into 12 parts, Jud 19:25-30 sent the parts through ISRAEL tribes).
(Gibeah was thus compared to PCG –it was like Sodom and Gomorrah and adulterous)
LORD’S punishment and prophecies for
PCG watchman, Hos 9:8,9—
Is recorded in Hos 9:11-17
Hos 9:9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
Hos 9:10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
· When you trust in men or dead men to DO AS THEY COMMAND, it is as BAALPEOR for their SHAME!!
· Their ABOMINATIONS are according to their LUSTS!!
NO GLORY FOR PHILADELPHIA CHURCH of GOD
UNTIL THEY REPENT AND TURN TO CHRIST our LORD
CHRIST DID NOT DIE IN VAIN
BUT TO CLEANSE HIS PEOPLE FROM SIN!
Hos 9:11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
LOOK AT THE BLESSINGS EPHRAIM
WOULD RECEIVE (Gen.48;20)
Gen 48:20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
EPHRAIM receives blessings AS written
FOR JOSEPH (Gen.49;22-26)
Gen 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
Gen 49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
Gen 49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
Gen 49:25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
· Now the LORD is WITHOLDING the blessings written for JOSEPH IN Gen. 49;25--Hos 9:11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
Gen 49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
WOE WHEN LORD DEPARTED from PCG
Hos 9:12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
Hos 9:13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
· Isa. 23;15 Tyre as H.W. Armstrong and Gerald Flurry in SEVENTY YEAR prophecy, when PCG would become A HARLOT, as written in Isa. 23;15
· PCG (in Isa. 23;15) to visit servant of Ophir, Ps. 45;9
Psa 45:9 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
Psa 45:12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
The PUNISHMENT was LORD giving a MISCARRYING WOMB and DRY BREASTS, Hos 9;14-15 (which means NO CHILDREN –they CANNOT MAKE A NEXT GENERATION for EVERLASTING COVENANT, neither THEY HAVE MILK for CHILDREN, (Meaning THEY HAVE FAMINE OF WORD, Amos 8;11)
Hos 9:14 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Hos 9:15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
Hos 9:16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
Hos 9:17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
But LORD forgives EPHRAIM when they repent for being wretched, Rom. 7:19-24, and TAKE WORDS, Hos 14)
Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Rom 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Rom 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Rom 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
A Plea to Return to the Lord
Hos 14:1 O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
Hos 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
Hos 14:3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
Hos 14:4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
Hos 14:5 I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
Hos 14:6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
Hos 14:7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
Hos 14:8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
Hos 14:9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
We should see how LORD projects sins of ISRAEL in PCG as we could see in prophecies like, Eze. 33:25,26, 22:8-11 which are all against the Laws written in Lev. 15 to 18
So in the 2nd Passover –the feast of Passover and UNLEAVENED BREAD DAYS PCG Leader given an opportunity to Repent for sins that made the Posterity dead, unable to give inheritance—LORD said He would visit for vengemce, Lev 18:25,26
Lev 18:25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
Lev 18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
LORD PURIFIES LEVITES on DAY OF LORD
As in MALACHI PURIFICATION, Mal 3;1-5
Levites had been troubling in EARLY HISTORY TOO
IN Ezra’s time, read in Ezra 9, 10
Lev 10—Nadab and Abihu offered PROFANED FIRE
Ez 33; 25, 26
LORD IS PURIFYING LEVITES in MALACHI BOOK
To fulfill His purposes, LORD gives EVIL WORKS to be done by people (Example--Jer 8;1-10, Zec 8;10--that is the MEANING of Isa 45; 7 (He creates EVIL, PEACE) , people who do NOT OBEY HIS COMMANDS fall into that category! but when THEY REPENT HE would SAVE THEM through SACRIFICE OF JESUS CHRIST ---it is BY BAPTISM UNTO HIS DEATH, for they are DEAD TO SIN, Ro 6; 2, then HE GIVES NEWNESS OF LIFE removing SIN, they then recieve RIGHTEOUSNESS, alongwith GIFT OF EVERLASTING LIFE, Ro 6; 3-23, then they are able to be established in EVERLASTING COVENANT, Ez 16;60.
LORD says SERIOUS MATTERS to people who would be ESTABLISHED in HIS COVENANT, Ez. 16;60, Isa 59;21 as it has to LAST FOREVER, Isa 59;21.
LEVITES to walk in NEWNESS OF LIFE in HIS ALTAR, Heb 10;19-20
adulterous people do NOT UNDERSTAND LORD'S COUNSELS!
ADULTEROUS MEN OR WOMEN cannot BECOME MEMBERS OF CHRIST, 1 Co 6;15 (Read 1 Co 6; 13-20)
PCG as EPHRAIM Provoked THE LORD, BUT THE HELP is from HIM, THEIR KING, Hos 13:9-16, therefore they SHOULD TAKE HIS WORDS to RETURN TO HIM, Read in Hos 14.
PLEASE NOTE---
Very many disturbans makes me UNABLE TO WRITE these articles, (Distrubances to Computer ) TODAY I WROTE with MUCH DIFFICULTY, Please pray for the WORK OF LORD, Thank you.
PLEASE USE your bibles to BETTER UNDERSTAND where I had not quoted from Bible, yet GIVEN THE SCRIPTURES!
Those who DID NOT HONOUR WORDS OF SCRIPTURES to BE KEEPING SABBATH without SIN, such are ABLE TO SEEK HELP from CRUCIFIED CHRIST by Rom. 6
Lu 3:6 -And all flesh shall see the salvation of Almighty.
Re 4:11 -Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Re 22:3 -And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of Almighty and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him:
We are to overcome the world to be PART OF HEAVENLY CHURCH, REGISTERED IN HEAVEN, through SPRINKLING OF BLOOD, Heb. 12; 22-25.
All praise and thanksgiving be to the Saviour and Redeemer of ISRAEL AND ALL FLESH, THE HUSBAND AND REDEEMER OF ISRAEL, Isa 54: 5, TO THE ONE TRUE ALMIGHTY AND LAMB MESSIAH, 1 Jn. 5: 20, Amen and Amen.
