A WORLDWIDE CALL TO GOD’S ELECT
TO RE-UNITE & HOLD FAST
PART-1
Dear brethren,
Whether a former or a scattered member of the body of Christ, we write to implore all that were called during the days of Mr Herbert W. Armstrong in the Worldwide Church of God and especially since.
Whether Jew or Gentile, to ALL whom Christ invited into the generally assembly and church of the firstborn which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect. (Heb.12:23)
And to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life, (Rom.2:7) do we write to encourage worldwide to whom the Lord Himself has made known the riches of His glory on us and you the vessels of mercy, do we now encourage the remaining faithful elect elders to take heed to yourselves and to all the flocks that remain faithful, over whom the Holy Spirit has made us overseers to feed the church of God which He has purchased with His own blood . Acts.20:28
To you, peace, grace and love be multiplied through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus, who gave Himself that we might live.
Therefore do we also pray in the Spirit of Christ always for all saints in light, that our God would count us worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 2Th 1:11
That work of faith was smashed in the worldwide church of God after 1986 by the man of perdition (2 Thess.2:3) who led the worldwide church of God to the beginning of the prophesied FALLING-AWAY, with the destruction of doctrinal truths from one end to the other, and through wicked spirits in high places scattering the sheep.
None could see at then that this was allowed of God to be unveiled in its time, in order to manifest those who would be approved, (ICor.11:19) who hold fast the truth and the miracle of their calling in love to this day.
That became a great sifting and sorting work which has largely cast many together in their logical groupings, to the effect that those either not called or fully committed would be swept away in another prophesied Mystery of Iniquity being a Satanic attack. 2Thess.2:6-12. But never forget, Satan can only do that which the Father allows.
The words of God in Daniel reveal this sifting and sorting will continue right through the coming 3-1/2 years of the prophesied time of trouble with severe trials. See Dan.12:1,6-7,10; Mat.24:21-24; Zeph.2:1-3; 3:12-12,18-19;
Let us that have eyes to see and ears to hear then seek the LORD and His will for us, that we find ourselves on the right side of the door, (Mat.25:10-13) in all humbleness of heart and meekness of mind that we may re-unite as one in agreement in thought and deed, for many deceived to this day drink of the cup of deception, not the cup of the LORD, while rejecting the Law of God in this lukewarm era of watering down, while giving themselves excuse to roam between church groups like ruminating beasts, with elders that walk astray being partial in the Law of God, (Mal.2:9) and leading whole houses astray, teaching things they ought not, like calling themselves prophets, or apostles, whose mouths will be stopped of the LORD, some just seeking a salary, being greedy of filthy lucre. See Tit.1:11
These are already cursed, Mal.2:1 because they set aside the law of God for traditions of Judaism and errors of men that hate those that rebuke in the gate, and abhor him the speaks uprightly, (Amos.5:10) and truth is slacked by those rejecting the Law of our God, but He is very merciful to all that repent of their sins. In this, many have hated me for rebuking their rejection of God’s Law, people in the former worldwide breakaway groups like the UCG, RCG, GCG, justifying their heinous actions in the spirit of rebellion like Bruce Armstrong, who asked me for 3-proofs which I furnished foer him to prove which he rejected at first, then admiited they were true, while continuing to fight the truth vehemently.
Others such as those that went out from us manifesting themselves that they were not all of us as the scripture of Truth forewarned (IJn.2:19) was happening more than 1,900-years ago. As the power of that old serpent called the devil and satan worked on his 3rd of the former angels unto rebellion, why would we think these situations any different? Paul warned of this in 2Thess.2; as the mystery of iniquity, and the deceivableness of unrighteousness that was in them, as it is to this day would cause their perishing because they loved not the truth that they might be saved, qnd for that cause God would send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie! (See 2Thes.2:7-12)
In more than 60% of years, Rosh Hashanah does not occur on the day of the molad but is postponed.
All we can do for these blind guides is pray fervently that they will repent before it is too late. What is clear is the level of confusion among the flocks, or groups calling themselves “Church of God” that have abandoned God’s Law for the traditions of the Jews in the religion of Judaism and their “Deḥiyyot” pronounced I believe, Dehioth, the so-called 4-Rules of Postponements that place their traditions over God’s Law. Their excuse?
Why The Postponements Were To Achieve
The deḥiyyot are deliberate rules designed to ensure:
- Yom Kippur doesn’t fall adjacent to the Sabbath
- Certain festival logistics remain workable
- The calendar stays consistent and predictable
What Are The Four Rules of Postponements
- When the Molad (new moon) Tishri occurs on a Sunday, Wednesday, or Friday, Rosh Hashanah is postponed to the following day
- When the Molad (new moon) Tishri (7th) occurs at noon or later, the Feast of Trumpets is POSTPONED to the next day. (Or if rhis day is Sunday, Wednesday, or Friday, to Monday, Thursday or Sabbath because of Dehiah a.) [This is apparently to prevent certain holy days occurring on inconvenient week days.
- When the Molad (new moon) Tishri of a common year falls on a Tuesday, after 3am or later, Rosh Hashanah is postponed to Wednesday, and because of Deḥiyyot, (Dehioth)further postponed to Thursday.
- When in a common year succeeding a leap year, the Molad (new moon) Tishri occurs on Monday after 9am, Rosh Hasana is postponed to the next day.
Note: “In more than 60% of all years Rosh Hashanah does not occur on the day of the Molad (7th new moon) but is postponed according to the Dehioth. Therefore the Dehiot are actually not the exceptions to the rule, but the rule”. The Comprehensive Hebrew Calendar by Arthur Spier Pg.15
Surprise Surprise
The “excuses” have ranged from using the scripture from Rom.3:1-2. Summarised as…unto them (the Jews) were committed the oracles of God”, to, including the them as the “calendar experts”, and everything in between. That might seem too open-ended, and to be fair, in one sense it is, however, consider the carnal-mind (Rom.8:7) in all of this, because it is without doubt a spiritual matter, any time a subject becomes controversial as this surely has, the carnal-mind is always present and baying at those who simply received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily (and deply in all beief) whether these things are so in amore noble manner, as the Berean’s did. (Acts.17:11)
GOing back to whom the oracles were committed, just stop for 1-minute, ask and asnwer this question: Did being given the oracles constitute any authority to alter, amend, remove or postpone any of the oracles in any way? If you answered yes, where is the proof in scripture? I asked this very question to 2-Rabbi’s in Sydney many years ago. Their answer was the same confusion their calendar displays, where they twist the law to allow themselves the “right” to abandon the Law of God Almighty, in in order that they may keep what they deem is necessary!
By whose Authority Do The Churches Alter The Law of God?
#1 Though astounding to any of us that fear the LORD and believe all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets, It is still sadly no surpise that the vast bulk of those supporting this erroneously postponed calendar have termed us “calendar groups” in order to ‘pidgeon-hole’ those that like us, hold fast the form of sound word which we all cut our spiritual teeth on from the days of Herbert W. Armstrong.
As we are instructed of Christ through John in Rev.2:25-29;
Rev 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. Rev 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: Rev 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. Rev 2:28 And I will give him the morning star. Rev 2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
#2. The usual carnal-minded non-spiritual arguments for postponements such as, “Prrove to me Jesus Christ didn’t keep the postponements”, or, “Just trust the Jews, they know what they’re doing”, or, seasonal pointers such as the equinox aren’t in the BIble so that’s not factual, or words to that effect.
Then there’s the hugely misunderstood use of crescent moons as somehow being equivalent to the new-moon, regardless of even the most basic research that the crescent moon is a “waxing” or growing moon, whereas the new moon is the actual point when the moon has concluded its curent course with a dark moon, and a rebirth, whereas the crescent moon “waxes” or grows through a tiny sliver, rarely able to be seen but under certain conditions can, as it waxes or grows as a crescent moon, usually 2-3 days after the new moon.
A Calculated Calendar Kept By David King of Israel
David, a man after God’s own heart (Acts.13:22) the sweet psalmist wrote “Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. Psa.81:3. At the time of David there was indeed a calculated calendar, or he and Jonathon could not have known in advance that the new moon was to come the next day! See I Sam.20:5,18,24. These are concrete evidence that like today, a true and calculated calendar was in effect, and didn’t need a Sanhedrin council to send out spotters to wacth for a crescent moon, which any in the churches ought to know that a crescent has many stages, not least of which is begun prior to that stage with a new moon that is not seen on earth due to the aligning of the sun, moon and earth aligning, in that order with the moon positioned between the sun and the earth, the side of the moon facing earth not being illuminated giving it its dark appearance. Having the same celestial longitude this conjunction each month produces the cycle ending with a new moon which begins the next cycle. I have often termed it the moon-set, like the end of each day when the sun sets.
As a reminder, in the New Testament, the apostle Paul wrote: “Let no man judge Ye in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days.” Col.2:16. This could easily be turned against us, but notice the context in all of the previous and following verses each interconnected and unassailable in meaning of all that we as the-called have ever received, with the warnings, the plan of God, our past sins, being buried with Him in baptism and the blotting out of the sacrificial ordinances for which Christ suffered and the victory He has made possible for each of us that remain faithful, meaning in akind of summary therefore, to not let the world, or more likely than not, the Jews who kept their own calendar at that time, and for around 300-years prior to Christ’s appearing try to judge you for the foods, or wine, especially on holy days which are feast days we are to celebrate. It must be noted that Christ and His disciples had kept an earlier Passover than the hypocritical and murderous Jews of that time, and other ref’s which also point to the fact that there was indeed a difference in their feast days to the Jews.
More Proofs In The Creation
Likewise, the seasonal indicators which mark time within the solar and lunar cycles are marked by the 2-equinoxes, the time in the spring season when there is almost equal lengths of light & dark, or day & night occuriring as the sun crosses the celestial equator. What is celestial equator? It is an imaginary line in the sky which is directly above the earth’s equator as a projected circle. This imaginary line separates the northern and southern halves, just as the earth’s equator does. That celestial equator differs from the Prime Meridian which divides the east and west hemispheres, though there isn’t an imaginary line for this ‘prime meridian’ for the east/west hemispheres in which the stars move along those lines, such as the sun rising in the east, and setting in the west as our earth spins on its axis in an eliptical, not circular rotation.
What relevance has all of this with the excuses churcuh of God groups are using in relation to the seasonal indicators, or more accurately, the laws governing our planet, with the sun and the moon, and also don’t forget that God set these great 2-great lights in the midst of our earth to rule the day, and to rule the night, and for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for years. Gen.1:16. In other words, to mark time.
In case you’ve forgotten, the church of God groups deny that equinoxes have anything to do with marking time. How? First, they reject the word is being not important because it’s not specifically written int he Bible. I know, a crazy jsutification, but unfortunately we and others who have attempted to explain how critical the vernal/spring, equinox is in determining the first month of the year, we are roundly rejected as attempting to invent our own calendar, and worse, trying to depart from the teachings of God’s faithful servant Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong.
Both are factually incorrect by any metric. In fact, Herbert W. Armstrong said he was always willing to stand corrected if shown, and made the correction to the incorrect keeping of Monday for Pentecost to the correct day of Sunday, counting 7-weeks be complete from the day following the Sabbath in the days of unleavened bread will alwys arrive on another Sunday. Of course, regardless of his willingness to be corrected in the face of BIblical instruction, still, 3,500 people left the church when those corrections were rightly made by Mr. Armstrong.
Evidently, they preferred to follow the manipulated Judaism calendar God’s church followed at that time which the Jews still keep to this day.
What We And Others Have Likewise Proven, And Done
Man chooses to ignore and reject the clear and concise instructions given in the books of the Law in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, in order to what? Prevent Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement DOA) from falling adjacent to the Sabbath so they don’t have to keep two holy days in a row and having to prepare for these commanded days? Or to somehow ‘keep the calendar consistent and predictable?
Given all of this, and what we are now facing with very uncertain times in this crooked world, we are really facing down another Mystery of Iniquity and what amounts to a final Sabbath challenge for God’s called people. Why? We all remember how we had to prove all things when coming into God’s church, not th eleast of which was proving God’s Sabbath from this worlds Sunday, but this Sabbath test is of the annual holy day Sabbath’s.
Almost all of the former WCG are in varying states of confusion, not understanding at all that they have in fact abandoned God’s Law for the traditions of the Jews and their Dehioth, the 4-Rules they have designed contrary to the Law of God’s appointed annual holy days Sabbaths.
This has landed us squarely outside the camp of Laodicean (spiritually lukewarm) churches and they will not receive our word from God’s Law!
Come Out of Her, My People, That Ye Be Not Partakers of Her Sins
Given the terribly sacattered state of God’s former people today in 2026, yet it does not phase those rejecting that their annual holy days ar ein fact NOT God’s appointed holy days, but are not unlike the days many kept prior to coming into God’s church, like Sunday, not the 7th day, or Easter, NOT God’s Passover and days of unleavened bread, and many such like days not sanctioned by God! That can mean one thing, and one thing only, unless swift repentance is forthcoming, many may have lost their opportunity to enter the Kingdom of God while others have had this titanic knowledge withheld from them by heavy-handed false ministers, who have been casting out the faithful simply for asking questions, or questioning their conducts with casting out members.
Given all that we are now staring down with the coming greatTribulation in the form of WWIII in a hostile world becoming moreso every day, with insurmountable troubles and evils, beginning to be fulfilled as never before for the nations of Israel, and for God’s own elect church, who, except for the elect, mankind would utterly be wiped off the face of the earth, (Mat.24:21-22,24) it is high time we all learned of this critical information and rejoiced that the LORD has extended to us the means by which we can prove all things, hold fast that which is good, IThes.5:21 while continuing to grow in the grace and in the knowledgeof Jesus Christ (2Pet.3:18)
My brethren, we are either God’s elect or we are in no-man’s land, there is no middle ground for the called according to God’s purpose-Which are you? Are you for God, His truth, His Law, His commandments and the faith of Jesus Christ, or are we for abandoning God’s Law in order not to offend our ministers, or our brethren, or our extended family? If that is your thinking and won’t budge from that position, stop reading now.
If on the other hand you can see the veracity of these truths and wish to hold fas the truth and reunite with other faithful likeminded followers of Christ, we implore you, all whose hearts were circumcised to the LORD in all the called churches of God through Christ to come together, REUNITE & HOLD FAST together, watch and be sober, that we be not caught unawares as Bible prophecy continues to be fulfilled upon those who even now are spiritually slumbering in Laodicean apathy. Rev.3:14-19.
Essentially that is “Come out of her My people that Ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Again, Rev.18:4
Therefore, let us not sleep as do others, but let us watch and be sober, praying always in the Spirit of Christ that we may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man!
I again implore all to REUNITE & HOLD-FAST Together before the Wrath of Satan falls upon our nations like a sledgehammer, (Mat.24:21-22; Rev.12:12,17; 6:11; Dan.7:21) followed closely by the Lord’s wrath at His glorious coming in the Day of The LORD!
These are some of the awesome opportunities we have as members of the body of Christ, and the tremendous responsibility we can have as the elect of God. Mat.24:22
To the poor, the lowly, the meek, the fatherless, the widow, come!
