Setting aside scepticism, religious and personal prejudice and other understandable attempts to discredit Weinland’s momentous predictions, there can be no denying the pinpoint accuracy of his warning of the onset of the current world-wide economic implosion.
As recently as January 23 this year (2009) British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, a former Chancellor of the Exchequer, admitted recession had caught him unawares (Daily Mail Jan 24). But in “2008-God’s Final Witness”. published two and a half years earlier, Weinland had set out in unequivocal detail what has now come to pass.
Most of Nostradamus’s predictions were open to interpretation, but Weinland leaves no room for doubt.
If the rest of his forecasts are as accurate, only those with vision far beyond the predicted apocalypse can hope to preserve any degree of optimism.

thanks sister, I do always keep that in mind when reading Armstrong.

I enjoyed reading “The Wonderful World Tomorrow”, by Herbert W. Armstrong, too. The one thing to know, however, about Mr. Armstrong is that he was not aware of the separateness of God and his Christ.

I agree with the message that the reason for this was to differentiate between COG-PKG and the hundreds of other churches that owe their existence to HWA. There’s a good site for HWA’s stuff, too, it’s:

The clock is running down to July 16th (May has 31 days). We won’t have to wait that long. Listen to people. How many stories of sadness and repentance have been heard? Any? Doesn’t anyone regret the breaking of God’s commandments?

I was reading “The Wonderful World Tomorrow”, by Herbert W. Armstrong today and it discusses a lot of answers to what we have been talking about here.

Pride is our greatest enemy. Since Satan is busy with the pope now, pride is almost the only problem. Pride stands between a person and God. Be concerned with how each of us have allowed it to stand most between ourselves and Him, more than between us.

When we humble ourselves, and I don’t mean literal crawling on the floor, God shows us more and more. When we sincerely forget everything we thought we knew … to be able to accept whatever God gives us.

Pride will continue to be our enemy until we are each translated to Elohim. But anything can be overcome with God’s help, through Jesus.

I agree with what Tony said, this is how I understand what is taught. In addition I personally think, Jesus will be ruling over with and iron rod, which means quick judgment. many things the world don’t give a second thought of today will simply not be tolerated (i.e. adultery. lying, etc) But keep in mind, every one who has made it to the new age, at least adult wise will have made a conscious decision to do their best to follow God’s commandments as we are now (we as in the church, not the world), in addition we will have the spirit of God dwelling inside of us or guiding us in till Baptism and we will not be tempted by Satan and His angels(demons).

So, it really hard to imagine but I think it would be about a million times better than the world we live in now. Plus, all will have the truth.

Thank you, Tony. Well said!

Life will be so much better, though, without the pornography and the drugs and the politicians, without murder and theft and adultery, …

X, the Church of God believes it is God’s rule from the minute the Millennium begins – however just because God’s government is here, that doesn’t mean all who are alive will become perfect overnight.

All of us have accumulated a lot of baggage over our lives: sinful habits, various wrong stereotypes, and all kinds of little things that we just can’t see. Those won’t go away just because we’ve seen a long period of destruction, or because God’s government is on the earth. We still have to overcome and change. That takes a lifetime. Over that lifetime we’re still going to get into squabbles, hurt others’ feelings, and other things. Life won’t be perfect, but it will be better.

That baggage we have will carry on down to the next generation. It makes itself manifest in our parenting style, and some of it will trickle down, sadly enough. Its the side effect of us not living right for years and years. Hopefully the impact will be minor, but it may take a few generations to flush it all out. God isn’t going to just make life peachy keen all of a sudden. Man still has to learn from his own mistakes and, potentially, clean up his own mess after the tribulation. But we will start to live God’s way and learn the benefits of doing so. That’s the big picture.

I wasn’t aware of a time lag. As far as I understood it, Jesus returns and begins to set up his government at the beginning of the millenium. So that’s when God’s rule begins. Satan is bound for a thousand years.

Then, at the end of the millenium, Satan is loosed for a little while to deceive the nations. There is a final battle, and extermination of Satan, and the Great White Throne Judgment. But I’m not aware of a time lag. Isn’t it pretty much all God’s rule from the minute the Millenium begins?

You sound sincere. But you don’t say anything about the time lag that will carry problems between man’s rule and God’s rule into the future for up to 4 generations.

For instance, say I’m tattooed and live into the millennium. How shall I convince offspring that to mark the body is pagan, and mars the body? Do you see my point? I don’t personally have tattoos, but I have made many other mistakes in my life, and will continue making them until I am translated, after Jesus’ return, perhaps not until the end of the millennium…

But … I really, really, really look forward to it!!
