False Prophet Ronald Weinland

A new post appeared yesterday on Ronnie’s personal blog.  As usual, I repost it for when he deletes it and to allow commenting.

————————————— Ronnie’s blathering ————–

This past week the word “fear” was used extensively in the news. There was investor fear, fear gripping Wall Street, debt fear among nations, fear about a struggling European economy, and even fear of war.

Real fear has not yet struck, but it is now on the horizon. Strong warnings are sounding out with increasing intensity. However, the basic nature of man and woman is to bury fear—to “bury ones head in the sand,” hoping that when they look out once again that things will be better. We have arrived at a time when things are not going to get better, but instead are going to spiral downward with accelerating intensity.

The world is starting to come to the realization, although rather slowly, that the United States cannot resolve its financial crisis. Other nations are beginning to see that the U.S. does not have the will or means to change. It is for this reason that governments will move more rapidly toward “other” means to protect their interests—by moving themselves farther away from reliance on American stability and prosperity. Both stability and prosperity are increasingly being seen as a thing of the past—an era in decline.

You are witnessing the final events that are rapidly plunging the world into real fear, as a complete global economic meltdown finally strikes. It is now accelerating. Nations are just beginning to become aware of that inevitable reality. It is for this very reason that world war will also quickly follow a global economic meltdown. War is the only “means” through which this world can deal with such crisis within their own nations. This is the real history of man and of war!

False Prophet Ronald Weinland has a new post on his blog.  He doesn’t mention the rapture scheduled for tomorrow evening at 6 PM your local time.  Which means that when we in the US wake up tomorrow morning we should hear about rapture events in New Zealand and Australia.  Maybe he’ll mention it in the sermon tomorrow and PKG members will think themselves smart for not following a false prophet.

Ron doesn’t allow comments on his blog, but I do.  His post repeated below for posterity and your convenience:

—————————  Ronnie’s Latest —————————————–

After this Sabbath, in only three weeks God’s Church will be observing the third annual Sabbath of this year, Pentecost (also called the Feast of Weeks and Feast of Firstfruits). It will be the last Pentecost to be observed in man’s age (the time allotted in God’s plan for mankind to govern himself).

Then, May 27th of 2012, will be “the Pentecost” that ushers in the greater fulfillment of what this Holy Day has always foreshadowed. In Moses’ time, the codified law of the Ten Commandments was given to the Israelites on the day of Pentecost. A little over 1,500 years later God began to pour out His spirit upon His Church that He established on that same day. Both of these events were a partial fulfillment of what Pentecost has always foreshadowed in God’s plan of salvation.

God has given great witness to mankind that His law cannot be lived without His help through the power of His spirit dwelling in mankind, all of which is contained in the foreshadowing of Pentecost’s purpose and meaning.

The next great step in the fulfillment of Pentecost is only a little over a year away when Jesus Christ will come as King of kings to rule over this earth. Jesus Christ is called the first of the firstfruits, but at his return there will be the 144,000 with him, those who are resurrected as the greater portion and the complete number of firstfruits (fully of mankind) of God’s Family and of His Kingdom that will rule with Christ.

The Scattered of the Worldwide Church of God

How can something so extraordinary and of such magnitude happen in only a little over a year from now, when so many end-time prophecies are yet to be fulfilled? It would seem totally incredulous to most people who were once part of the Worldwide Church of God before its scattering (for any who still hold to some belief of an end-time), that such an event could possibly happen in such a time-frame.

False Prophet Ronald Weinland put up a new post on his blog Friday afternoon. As usual, it is reposted here for a record after Weinland deletes his copy.
————————————————————-
This Sabbath (April 2nd) ends a very unique time in all history. It is the end of four cycles of “half-a-time” in the period of “time, times and half-a-time” described in Daniel 12. There are only three more periods of “half-a-time” remaining before Jesus Christ returns as King of kings over all government on earth.

Over the centuries, many have tried to comprehend the prophecies given by God concerning the meaning and fulfillment of “time, times, and half-a-time.” But as God told Daniel, the revelation of those things that were given to him to write were not to be revealed at any period except that of the very end-time, when God would “finish” [Heb. – “bring to an end”] the time given to mankind to rule himself and then establish His Kingdom on earth.

As God has revealed to His Church at this end-time, the period of “time, times and half-a-time” is about God’s end-time judgment upon mankind, in which God will bring an end to man’s self-rule. In the midst of this period of time, God is magnifying Himself and His love toward His creation—toward mankind. However, mankind is not aware of what God has been doing, but will now begin to be made aware—IF they will listen!

False Prophet Ronald Weinland has a new posting on his blog, as he mentions at the beginning it’s been almost 7 months since the last one.  It reiterates his message of last Saturday, that the time is NOW!!! for calamity to befall us.  His latest blather is saved for posterity and hidden below the fold, if you care to read and comment.

______________________Weinland’s posting_____________________

Seven months have now passed since my last posting. It has been a little over two years since the Seventh Seal of Revelation was opened. More incredible yet is the reality that in about 15 months from now, Jesus Christ is going to return to this earth.

False Prophet Ronald Weinland began writing his second book after the 2005 Feast of Tabernacles.  On the second page he starts out.

The publicist of my first book scheduled interviews for me throughout the United States. Those interviews began in September 2004. ……

And on the following page:

The United States witnessed a record breaking year for hurricanes both in number and magnitude. 2005 had the most named tropical storms on record. Letters of the Greek Alphabet have never been used to name storms, but even now in December, Hurricane Epsilon has become the fifth named storm in the Greek Alphabet. This past year witnessed the highest number of hurricanes on record along with the most category five storms ever. In August, Hurricane Katrina produced the greatest destruction from a natural disaster ever seen in the U.S., which left some areas of New Orleans almost wiped out. This devastation is so great that there is not enough time to rebuild it before this age of man comes to an end.

From another perspective, the average number of named storms in any season is 10, but in 2005 there were 26. The average number of hurricanes is 6, but 2005 had 14. The average number of major hurricanes is 2, but 2005 had 7.

What we have witnessed since those interviews a year ago {relative to December, 2005} will only increase in magnitude and frequency until we come to the last and final stage.

So did the magnitude and frequency of hurricanes increase since the sermon to PKG on December 17, 2005 which included the claim that he was one of the Two Witnesses and in which Ron rolled out the draft of the first chapter of his second book from which I quoted?

I turned to Wikipedia for answers.  Wikipedia has articles on recent hurricane seasons, which I have compiled and graphed for your inspection.  My graph includes the number of named storms, number of hurricanes, and number of major hurricanes of Category 3 or higher for the years of 1994 through 2009.  I’ve also plotted the average for each of these numbers based on the 1994 through 2001 hurricane seasons which mainly preceded the opening of the 1st Seal on 9/11.

While 2005 was an unusual hurricane season, all seasons since have been in normal range.  Despite Weinland stating that what had been witnessed would only increase in magnitude and frequency, the number of storms decreased and there were fewer than average number of hurricanes in 2006, 2007, and 2009.

A Weinland apologist will point out that I’ve only talked about frequency of hurricanes, while the third thunder is all weather events.  We’ll ignore that Weinland was only talking about hurricanes in the first chapter of the book and hadn’t yet gotten to defining the thunders which John was forbidden to reveal.  The US government National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has a web page with statistics relating to the cost of weather disasters.  Here is a graphic that shows the number and total costs of billion-dollar weather disasters.

While 2005 was certainly a costly year, all the years since have been less costly.  In fact they’ve been less costly than the 1988 season in inflation-adjusted dollars.  But Ron prophesied that the magnitude of the Third Thunder would only increase.

The next argument from the Weinland apologist is that Weinland didn’t restrict the thunders to the US.  But on page 199 of his book published in 2006, he wrote:

The reason this book and The Prophesied End-Time have so much to say about specific events that will take place in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, and much of western Europe is that these nations are very specifically identified as the descendents of those lost ten tribes of Israel! End-time events focus first on the demise of these nations over the next couple of years.

As an aside, Weinland has updated the “Trips” page on his blog with a travel itinerary into September.  He also edited the introduction to say:

In this end-time, Laura and I will continue to visit God’s Churches in the various areas of the world where His people are scattered. We will continue to focus on serving those whom God is calling as long as we are able to accomplish such work.

It used to say (interesting parts that were removed are bolded):

We have entered the final three and one-half years of end-time tribulation. Laura and I will continue to visit various Church areas and we will continue making such travel plans for as long as we are able. As always, we will continue to look to God to lead us in our planning. Where possible we will continue sending elders to locations where growing numbers of people are seeking baptism and fellowship with God’s Church. We will continue to focus on serving those whom God is calling as long as we are able to accomplish such work.

So growing numbers of people are not seeking baptism, so all these new elders are going to waste.  And 16 months in is timely to recognize that the great tribulation is not 3 1/2 years long

False Prophet Ronald Weinland has a new post up on his WordPress blog.  Here it is for your convenience, and to provide for an opportunity to comment on it since he understandably turns commenting off.  I’ve added a [few quick comments of my own].

————–Ron Weinland’s Post  —————————————————————

The last posting on this site addressed God’s current revelation to the Church about His “Elijah to come” at this end-time. As was stated, that commission has been given to me to fulfill in its completeness and not as a “type,” which was partially fulfilled in John the Baptist and in Herbert W. Armstrong. God is now going to bring both rolls [sic] of these previous “types” into a complete and final fulfillment that ushers in the second coming of His Son as the Messiah (the Christ-the ordained ruler) over all mankind.

This posting cannot cover all of the exciting revelation that God is giving concerning what His purpose is and what is meant by the expression of “restoring all things” in the commission of the end-time Elijah. It is about a “work” that God is doing in and through His human instruments, primarily through His Church.

In order to receive a far greater understanding of the inspiration, plain truth, and excitement of what God is now revealing, I am encouraging every one of you (if you have not already done so) to listen to some of this new truth as it is covered far more thoroughly in the sermon on Dec. 26, 2009, entitled, “Restoring All Things,” and in the current sermon series entitled, “Ordinations & Baptisms.”

Finding Fault:
The numerous groups that have formed from the scattering that took place during the apostasy of the Worldwide Church of God in December, 1994, are busy responding to what God is currently revealing to the Church through me as His end-time Elijah. They are quick to find fault in order to belittle and ridicule what God is now revealing. [Can anyone find a response from other than mine and a few other blogs? (None of which are part of  "the scattering".]

False Prophet Ronald Weinland has placed a new post on his blog about his new title as the fulfillment of the Elijah-to-come.  I’m repeating it below for your convenience and so it will be available later when he deletes it.  I have emphasized a few of his statements, and added [a few comments of my own] in the text. Also, he does not provide for comments on his blog but I do on mine.

————————  Ronnie’s Nonsense ————————-

The Church of God – PKG has indeed been “Preparing for the Kingdom of God.” Beginning this Sabbath, the Church will take another big step forward in doing that commission given to it in this end-time.

As we covered in a sermon series (”Our Journey of Faith”) about our recent history, I addressed an issue that God had given me which was to acknowledge how He and His Son, Jesus Christ, had made me an apostle as well as a prophet. I had long believed that Herbert W. Armstrong was the last apostle to the Church, but due to the truths that God has revealed over the past several years, it was now time to acknowledge that such truths given are only accomplished through an apostle.

The prophecies given to the Church have been through the office of a prophet, but the doctrines and truths have come through an apostle. And as God inspired Paul to write, we “are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone” (Eph. 2:20). In other words, God works in a very specific manner through His Son, Jesus Christ, who is the head of the Church, to give truth of doctrine and instruction through His apostles and to give prophecy through His prophets. How the Church then responds to truth (by seeking to live by it) and how it responds in faith to prophetic revelation (living according to it) determines the spiritual relationship each member has with God the Father.

The Church that was scattered, due to the apostasy, has fragmented into over 500 different organizations, yet only one has been reestablished as God’s true Church. It became fully reestablished once again on Pentecost of 1998, as the true remnant with whom God was working. This is not a popular thing to declare, yet it is simply the truth. God’s Church cannot be organized into many fragmented groups with differing ideas of government and doctrine. That is not God’s way and this it is fully contrary to the laws of God and how God’s spirit works in His Church.

Mr. Armstrong was a “type” of the Elijah:

Herbert W. Armstrong fulfilled a “type” of the Elijah to come as prophesied in the Old Testament and as prophesied by Jesus Christ.  [Ron demotes Herbie from the Elijah-to-come to only a type.]
