My Dear Friends

I wanted to keep you all up to date on what is going on in this work and plans for the coming months.

To begin I really wanted to begin speaking via YouTube this spring, but God has shown me that that is not in his plan at this time.

After the 2014 fall Feast I began to restudy and rewrite the New Testament studies and almost immediately realized that I had learned very much over the past three years and that those studies were in serious need of revision and updating.

I think that all longer term visitors would agree that it is important that the old articles be revisited and edited, with much more new material added to them. Today's article on Colossians 2 being an example of the improvement needed.

At the same time I can report that there are many new visitors who are seeing these things for the first time.

In spring I came to the conclusion that God wanted me to concentrate on revising and upgrading the Bible Studies instead of on my own desire to continue on to audios. It is now obvious to me that I was getting ahead of myself and that the work of doing these Bible Studies is not completed at all, and that much more work is needed on them.

Running in parallel with this Bible Study and Doctrinal updating, I expect the wars in the Middle East to unfold, and at the same time the true fruits of UCG and these other groups to become increasingly clear; and as they drift further away from God, more and more brethren will begin to seek the sound doctrine of the Word of God at our blogs.

God is working everything out to his timetable and all we can do is to work with our full might to present the sound doctrine of the whole Word of God to his people.

In due time many will have been grounded on sound doctrine; and in the tribulation very many others will sincerely repent and begin to hunger after sound doctrine and the Word of God.

Our websites with all of the sound doctrine, prophecy and Bible Studies have been set up in Iceland, so that they will remain online for at least the early part of the tribulation.   Very many will be visiting and studying with intensity at that time, and even if there are local blackouts, the sites will still be available worldwide.

Remember that there will not be an instantaneous collapse of America, but that the collapse will be an ongoing process for three and a half years.

Daniel 12:7   And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

Our priority is helping the brethren to ground themselves on sound doctrine so that they will be prepared to discern the doctrinal drift and be ready for the decision to leave for God's refuge; combined with the need for the material during the tribulation.

This is why it is so vitally important to dedicate myself at this time to revising and updating these studies.

When we work for another, it is important that we do not do what we want, but that we do what our boss wants, regardless of whether we understand the why.

UCG is expected to present certain doctrinal changes to the elders for examination about 4-5 months before the May 2017 GCE Conference during which conference voting will take place.

It is my plan to complete the studies by then and have the material at the sites up to a high quality of sound doctrine, as many will be waking up and beginning to take a real interest in personal study into the Word of God.

I want to be ready by then with up to date material for all those who will b e seeking it; and so that I can address these coming changes with the whole Word of God, fighting the good fight and contending for the truth of God with all the means that God provides.  

I do expect these changes to be approved, demonstrating the real agenda of the New UCG, but many brethren will have their eyes opened in the process.

It is imperative that the bible studies be upgraded for the coming rush of interest, as I hope that a large number of brethren will at last be searching for answers.

While NOT a date certain, it is highly probable that the abomination will be set up in the Vatican in 2017 and that the tribulation will begin in Dec 2017.

Whenever the year, it is very close; and we must be prepared, as well as ready, awake and alert; diligently watching the signs and signals to see just exactly when these things will happen: and we must be prepared to aid the brethren who are aroused by events to seek out the sound doctrine of the Word of God.

God has made it clear to me what HE wants done and the why as well.

I have always said that this is not some game, but is deadly serious; I did not lie to anyone.

The plan is now to complete various doctrinal studies like the recent HEALING study, and to keep up with world and COG news, while completing the Epistles Studies; which I regard as essential to prepare for the coming twisting of the words of Paul to justify doctrinal drift in the COG groups.

I expect to complete the Epistles studies near the Feast of Tabernacles this year [2015]. And at this year's Feast of Tabernacles I want to do a study through Deuteronomy, which book is commanded to be studied at the Tabernacles Feast; after which I will go right to Genesis and study the books in their biblical order to the end.

The book of Revelation will be studied with the book of Daniel.  

I feel for many reasons that God wants me to make redoing these studies through the holy scriptures my number one priority at this time.

I am sure that long time visitors will see a substantial improvement in these studies; as I work to earnestly contend for the faith once delivered, in response to the words of Jude.

At this time I can report many new visitors to the sites.

Due to the summer holidays there are fewer actual visits, but many more pages are being read each visit. I put that down to people not visiting when they are away and then catching up after they return home.

I urgently need your prayers, your moral support and your financial backing as we prepare for these soon coming events.

Next week Constance will be back and we will study the Gifts of Tongues and the Interpretation of Tongues. This will be a very important post and I ask everyone to pray that we study this correctly and accurately, and present it in an understandable way.

 

Be Strong and of Good Courage!

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. 23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

Psalm 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Acts 18:9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: 10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.

Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

Deuteronomy 1:29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. 30 The Lord your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; 31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Joshua 1:5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Daniel 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. 4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Acts 4:23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. 24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said,

Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: 25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? 26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. 27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, 28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

Be Strong and Filled With Courage to Serve the Eternal!
