When Herbert W. Armstrong expired, Dr. Herman Hoeh declared that the seventh candlestick had been lit. Meaning Laodicea formally started immediately.
Nearly four years after, Malachi's Message to God's Church To Day started to sound the alarm: something wasn't kosher in the Church of God! It uncovered a tainted ministry intent on destroying the foundational doctrines of the Worldwide Church of God, and urged the brethren to hold on for dear life to what God had offered us through His end-time Elijah. We were motivated to get a grip, while others were losing it (Revelation 3:11).
Those who were of God observed what the Spirit said to the Churches through Malachi's Message. Those who weren't of God immediately lost it (God's reality) and slipped farther and further into darkness. That darkness was disguised as a “new light of comprehension” (2 Corinthians 11:14). The true members of the universal life church headquarters of God reacted to His call and came out of that decadent organization. Those who remained behind became the SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN.
They were no longer God's Church! You can not reject God's truth for demonic doctrines without becoming a part of “Mystery Babylon” (1 Corinthians 10:21; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18). All this has been quite showing (I Corinthians 11:19).
Knowing the Truth
God knows the end from the beginning (Acts 15:18). He prophesied a great falling away that would leave few standing. The BIG ONE has strike and shaken the ordination of God to its center! But isn't it possible to know the truth without understanding the Truth (2 Timothy 3:7).
God's calling us to a deeper love and conversion (I John 3:18). Isn't God's truth a means to an end? Didn't Herbert W. Armstrong worry some merely “DON'T GET IT?” That overly many were only converted to our philosophies? The doctrines are meant to help bring us nearer to God by having a better understanding of His Will, but merely a personal relationship with Jesus Christ will save us! We want Christ's instructions, but we desire God the Father and Jesus Christ even more! Simply they can create us and secure our salvation (2 Thessalonians 2:13-17). You can have all the comprehension in the world and still fall short (I Corinthians 13:2).
Recall Solomon? Merely because you understand God's reality, does not mean you know Him! (Job 42:5; I John 2:4) You Are not going to be judged by how much you know, but by HOW MUCH YOU GROW! By how much you use what you know, becoming more Christlike, more Godly, more representative of the Kingdom of God, here and now (James 1:22; John 13:35). A strategy can't conserve you and rite is no substitute for a relationship! (2 Timothy 3:5).
Malachi's Message Still Uses!
Whereas the Worldwide Church of God was physically affluent, aren't we in danger of feeling spiritually wealthy and self-complacent (Amos 6:1)? Ancient Israel had God's vacation; didn't eat pork, etc. But it did not keep them from going into captivity! (Amos 5:21). It wasn't enough! Globally doesn't feel sufficient, they feel so impoverished they go to Babylon for help! We're the ones who feel safe and secure! Who said we can let our guard down? We Are controlled to STAY ON HIGH ALERT until Christ comes! (Luke 21:34) Yet some are failing to continue to employ Malachi's Message (Romans 2:17-21). God's refining procedure isn't over! (Daniel 12:10; Isaiah 48:10) Website.
