Having lived here in the Land of Israel 27 years, being a privileged witness to the many miraculous changes… with shame almost I say, one can get ‘used’ to seeing the extraordinary moves of GOD here.
So how refreshing to ‘wake up’ to the news these past few weeks that really struck home, once again, the enormity of just what is unfolding.
INTEL BUYING MOBILEYE FOR $15 BILLION IN BIGGEST ISRAELI HI-TECH DEAL EVER
U.S giant Intel Corp. said Monday that it has agreed to buy Mobileye, a Jerusalem-based developer of advanced vision and driver assistance systems, for $15.3 billion.
SHEKEL CEMENTS POSITION AS ONE OF WORLD’S STRONGEST CURRENCIES
The shekel has appreciated by 6% against the Dollar over the past year • Israeli currency is also hovering at a 15-year peak against the Euro.
NOBLE ENERGY GIVES GO-AHEAD TO DEVELOP LEVIATHAN GAS FIELD
Netanyahu hails milestone for Israeli economy, regional cooperation; consortium hopes to bring offshore reserve online by 2019
Upon my arrival in Israel a trip to a supermarket offered very few options… 3 types of bread…. 5 types of cheese… 2 types of milk and various other staples, but without choice…
Now… aisles and aisles of what Israel is producing, fill ever expanding supermarket shelves to overflowing… a miraculous growth Israel indeed has, against all odds, survived and thrived while surrounded by much opposition both spiritually and physically.
CAN YOU IMAGINE MARK TWAIN USING A MOBILE EYE TO NAVIGATE THE HOLY LAND?
Mark Twain noted when passing through here in 1867
….. A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds… a silent mournful expanse…. a desolation…. we never saw a human being on the whole route…. hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil, had almost deserted the country.”
That was, until the reestablishment of the state of Israel in 1948.
This article is not about celebrating wealth… or the ingenuity, talents or ‘out of the box’ thinking that so dynamically make Israel unique. It is however about acknowledging GOD’s Hand in restoring a land that had lay desolate for centuries. In this we do celebrate… that we are witness to fulfillment of scripture accelerating to the place where this tiny Land of Israel begins shall reflect GOD’s Shekinah Glory and become that ‘Light unto the nations’
The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. (Isaiah 35:1)
The biblical size of these blessings flowing in and out from Israel are something one cannot explain away with statements such as…‘just clever Jews’ or ‘what luck’ – No, not at all… these events are fulfillment of scripture where GOD says he shall bless Israel with an abundance… and more… GOD even enrolls the nations to become part of that blessing. In Genesis 12:3 for example… “I shall bless those that bless thee…”
Some have unfortunately understood the ‘thee’ to mean ‘the Church’ or have even been ‘led’ to believe this verse was to benefit the church that it may spread the gospel. ‘The wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come’. (Isaiah 60:5)
Does GOD really need to invest billions of dollars into church projects to ‘spread the Gospel’? I mean, did HE not turn the world upside down with 12 disciples who were told to “…preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. (Luke 9:2-3)
The transfer of wealth for these days is however, for the benefit of the Jewish people, to return to their homeland, and prepare for their Messiah.
‘Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night, so that men may bring the wealth of the nations’ (Isaiah 60:11)
Preparations for this can be seen all around Jerusalem. Massive construction projects widening the lanes up Mount Zion and express rail links from the airport to Jerusalem. The kind of infrastructure developments that would only be required to transport the numbers expected from the nations to worship the King of Kings in Jerusalem at the Feast of Tabernacles.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. (Zechariah 14:16)
Getting in line with GOD’s promises toward Israel and the Jewish people is the ONLY safe place to be… spiritually of course but also financially… and especially in these days. With so much evidence of ungodly ventures collapsing before our very eyes, why would anyone want to invest in anything less?
Blessings from Jerusalem.

DEAR BRETHREN “not to be deceived”,
HERE are the 4 Servents of YHWH (GOD) of The End Times!
(The Shocking Truth revealed in the Bible…what never been heard, to serve of testimony to the Sabbatarians!)
“For the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7) –ESV

“At some point, Christ said: “It is finished” (Jn 19:30). Obviously, these words did not mean that God’s work was completed in its entirety, but rather a phase – His part on earth as a human being – was over. Other phases would follow.”(Good News – Nov / Dec 1988 – Page 7)..
– After Christ, his disciples executed another phase of God’s work, which ended in the first century (2 Tim 4:7; Luke 17:22).
-After the apostles, other phases have succeeded through the centuries that followed, until the early 20th century which marked the beginning of the end times (Rev. 2 and 3). (Read the booklet of the Church of God entitled ‘God’s Church through the Ages’)
-The Scriptures indicate clearly that in this time of the end, God will raise four (4) Blacksmiths or Servants, with mission to bring down Babylon (constituted by the 4 Horns or Kingdoms – Zac 1: 18-21 ; Dan 7:2-7,15-18); the work of these 4 Blacksmiths, each in his time, is detailed in Revelation 14:6-10, through 3 Angels.
NB: In his article “The Messiah in Prophecy” published in the Plain Truth of May 1984, Mr. Eli Chiprout (a Jew from the WCG) said: “In Hebrew, the word angel simply means messenger It not always mean an angelic being. Sometimes it refers to a man. “, as is the case in Revelation 14: 6-9 !
The True Church of God is where are the four (4) Blacksmiths who are the Sentinels (Jn 12:26 ; Isa 50:10 ; 52:8 ; Jer 6:17 ; 33:7)!
1st Servant or Blacksmith
In the booklet of the former Worldwide Church of God (WCG) entitled “Where are Enoch and Elijah?”, Published by Ambassador College in 1962, under the supervision of Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, then General Pastor of theWCG, Dr. Herman Hoeh had said: “The supernatural removal of Elijah was a foreshadowing of the transfer still to come, in a safety place of another man who, shortly before the Day of the Lord, will fulfill the same mission which acquitted the original Elijah (Malachi 4:5-6 ). ”
Today, Mr. Armstrong, who was a long time considered to be that man by the WCG, has been dead for over 30 years, before the era of Laodicea and the Lord’s Day; so he has not fulfilled this prophecy about Elijah, because in fact, biblically, he was not the Elijah to come before the Lord’s Day!
Mr. Armstrong on the contrary, has fulfilled the prophecies on the spirituals MOSES and ZERUBBABEL, who was called by God to the end time, to revive the Church in Babylon, and to restore the law at the end of Sardis’ era (Zec 4:6-10 ; Mal 4:4 ; Rev 3:1-2). He led the Church of God in the Philadelphia era (Rev 3:7-8), but he did not bring the Church out of Babylon, as Elijah who will come before the Day of the Lord, will do it (Mal 4:5 ; Joel 2:1; Rev 18:4).
Mr. Armstrong did not prepare to the Lord a people, as Elijah to come will do it (Luke 1:17), since there was apostasy and dispersion after his death (2 Thess 2:3; Ez 34:5; Matt 26:30)!
Mr. Armstrong was therefore the First Blacksmith (Zec 1:20), who is the First Angel or Messenger of Revelation. 14: 6-7; he passed after preaching to the world, in the Philadelphia era (Rev. 3: 8), as testimony, the Gospel of the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth (Matthew 24:14)!

(And I saw another messenger flying in mid-heaven, having good news age-during to proclaim to those dwelling upon the earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people,) (Rev 14:6) YLT (see above photos) – Mr. Armstrong himself called his plane “his office in the sky”!
The death of Mr. Armstrong on 01/16/1986 therefore marked the end of the part of the work that God has entrusted to him, and a phase has thus been completed (Rev. 3:7, Isa 42:9; 48:3). (See letter from Mr. Armstrong on March 1981 to the members and co-workers, and his latest letter to the Church of 01/10/1986, six days before his death)!
Apostasy and Laodicea
After the preaching and the death of Mr. Armstrong, we entered the ‘period of the end’ (Matt 24:14-end of the verse). And “the End” began with the Apostasy and the dispersion of the people of God as prophesied (Matth 24:15; 1 Tim 4:1 ; 2 Thess 2:3; Ezek 34:5; Matth 26:31). It was the beginning of the era of Laodicea (Rev 3:14-20)!
With the dispersion of the people of God (2 Pet 2:1-2; 2 Tim 4:3-4), the House of God was abandoned and left desolate (Matt 23:38; Luke 13:34) and the Laodiceans began to create and handle only their own groups (Hag 1: 4, 9).
So God has vomited them ALL (Rev. 3:16; 2 Kings 5:20) and withdrew from them (Hosea 5:6).
The Laodiceans then fell in self-righteousness (Rev 3:17; Rom 10:2-3; Dan 9;10-11), spiritual blindness (Isaiah 29:9-12), and the spiritual sleep (Matt 25:5).
2nd Servant or Blacksmith
In this spiritual sleep that fell all the Laodiceans (Matth 25:5), God awakened the prophetic Joshua, after the spiritual Zerubbabel who was Armstrong (Hag 1:14; 2:4; Zec 3; 4:1-2), for the next phase of his work (Isa 48:6-7). That is to say, rebuild his abandoned house on the foundation of Zerubbabel (Zech 6:11-15; Hag 2:23)
This spiritual Joshua, the Second Servant or Blacksmith after Zerubbabel, is the 2nd Angel both to Revelation 14:8 and Revelation 18:1-2, because his mission has two (2) phases while keeping the same message ( “Babylon is fallen, the great city is fallen”):
a) -In The first phase of his mission (Mark 9:12), he did not raise his voice (Rev 14:8) as the 1st and 3rd angels (Rev. 14:7,9) because he should suffer much a long illness, and be rejected by this generation as prophesied (Ezek 3:24-27 ; Luke 17:25)!
Then he should momentarily disappear from the scene by death from this disease (2 Thes 2:7; Job 14:13), but at the time appointed by God (Ps 102:13; Hab 2:2-3), he will miraculously return to physical life (Ps 86:17; Luke 11:30; Ps 30: 1-4; 40: 1-4; Isa 38:16-19; Ps 118:17-18) for the second phase of his mission !
b) -The Second phase of this mission will be to announce, this time with a mighty voice (Joel 2:1; Rev 18:2), the same message of his first phase (Rev 14:8) which is the fall of Babylon, and ask to God’s people, now scattered and asleep, to get out of this diabolical system that will collapse (Luke 17:26-30; Rev 18:4), for, the Day of the Lord is near (Joel 2:1)!
The news of his return to physical life will spread in the 4 corners of the earth from sunrise to sunset like lightning (which is a wave), through modern media (also the waves) that are: internet, TV, radio, telephone, etc … (Isaiah 45:5-6; 52:10; Matth 24:27 ; Luke 17:24), which did not exist in the 1st century!
By the prophets of the Old Testament such as Ezekiel and Malachi, Jehovah (who later became Jesus -1 Cor 10:4) says that He will send a son of man, a prophet (Ezekiel 2:1-5; 7:1-10) and the prophet Elijah (Malachi 4: 5) to the Israelites in the end times, before the Day of the Lord, lest his coming strikes the total destruction of land (Malachi 4:6).
That means that Elijah the prophet and the son of man, a prophet, who are sent to the Israelites (physical and spiritual) at the same time (the end times) and for the same work (warning) are one and same person, because “God is not a God of disorder but of peace. “(1 Cor 14:33).
This 2nd blacksmith who therefore must today enter the scene is the prophetic Elijah who is to come to restore all things (Mal 4:5; Matt 17:11), he is also the second son of man (Luke 17:22 , according to the biblical principle of duality), and is also the prophetic Joshua as we have just seen (Zec 3:1-9; 6:11-13), with a mission, like his namesake after Moses, to bring God’s people in the Safety place in Galilee, on Mount Hermon, called Mount Zion (Ex 15:13-17; Mic 7:15-17; Ezekiel 34:12-14; Isa 4:5-6; 14:32; Ps 133; Abd 17; Deut 4:48; 2 Peter 1:18)!
NB: (Jesus is no more Son of man)!
We must note that: “Jesus is no more the Son of man since His resurrection”, He is the Son of God (Rom 1:1-4; Luke 20:36; 2 Cor 5:16; John 3:6; 1 Peter 3:18)!
* A son of man cannot sit next to God (Heb 8:1 ; Act 13:34 ; 1 Cor 15:50; Ex 33:20).
* Jesus will never return to earth as the Son of man in mortal body, in a humiliating body (1 Cor 15:54 ; Isa 25 8; Act 13:34)
Statements of Jesus (Jehovah) to the disciples of the 1st century contained in Luke 17: 22-25; Matthew 17:11 and Mark 9:11-12 confirm the prophecies of the Old Testament about the coming of Elijah and the son of man (the 2nd) at the end of time before the Day of the Lord!
* 1st century disciples had seen Jesus as the Son of man (Matth 13:17 ; Luke 10:23-24), but they will not see the 2nd son of man of this time of the end, because they are all dead in the 1st century (Luke 17:22). The instructions that Jesus gave them were recorded for his disciples of the end times, who will see the days of the son of man (duality). There is a jump of 2000 years between verses 22 and 23 of Luke 17 (space of time!).
This unique personage who has to come ‘in the name of the Lord’ (thus Jesus 1 Cor 8:6), must play many important roles for preparatory work that will prevent the annihilation of the earth at the second coming of Christ (Malachi 4:6)!
We also see in the Bible that the coming of the Kingdom of God is closely linked to the appearance of the son of man (the 2nd) – (Matt 24:33; Luke 17: 20-25; 21:31); it’s the same event: the Kingdom of God is raised at the appearance of the son of man (Matth 10:7,23). And we know that “THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS IN THE HANDS OF THE SONS (or descendants) of David” (2 Chron 13: 8; 1 Chr 28:5; 29:23)!
This therefore means that: Elijah, the son of man to come, will be also a physical descendant of King David, who will arouse from its fall the tent or the house of David, his grandfather, in this end times (2 Sam 7: 12-15,19,25 ; Amos 9:11)! The Rehabilitation of David House signifies the Coming of the Kingdom of God! (Mc 11:9-10)! Thus:
-The House or Tent of David that is fallen in ruins in the time of Rehoboam (his grand-son) (1 Kings 12:16-17) – (physical aspect) and,
-The House or the Church of God which fell and was abandoned since the death of his first Pastor and Blacksmith of the end times, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong (a descendant of David) (Ez 34:5; Hag 2:3; Matthew 23:38 ; Luke 13:35) – (spiritual aspect),
Shall be taken of their fall at the same time and by the same person who is Elijah, the son of man, to perform for a short time before Christ’s return, the functions of King and Priest quoted at Zecharia 6:11-13. Everything revolves around the House of David through the Divine promises (Ps 89:4,35-37)!
After the coming of Elijah and the birth of God’s Nation, many Laodiceans (lost sheep of the physical and the spiritual Israel) will repent and return to their Father ( Isa 29:23-24; Ps 40:1-4; Luke 1:16-17).
God says he will comfort those who mourn today because of the disappearance of the son of man who was “punished” by Him with death (Isa 57:17 ; Job 14:13). God will heal him by bringing him to physical life. (Isa 57:18 ; Ps 30: 2-3 ; 40:2). Those who await his return to physical life will have great joy, in seeing the mighty work of God (Ps 118:15-16 ; Isa 29:23-24 ; Ps 40:3)!
3rd and 4th Servants or Blacksmiths
The 3rd and 4th Blacksmiths are represented by the Third Angel of Revelation 14: 9-10; one of the two blacksmiths will be the spokesman of the duo, as Jesus and the Father (John 1:1), or as Aaron and Moses (Exodus 4:14-16; 7:1-2; Amos 3:3; Ecc 4:9-12); that is why we see only one angel instead of two; but the action of the third angel of Revelation 14:9-10 (spokesman) is clearly situated in the Great Tribulation when the 2 Witnesses of Revelation11 will be at work to face the beast!
These two blacksmiths or angels are the 2 Witnesses (Zech 4:3,11-14) who will be, during the Great Tribulation (Rev. 11:3-7), the representatives of the Nation of God to be born in a day ( Isa 66:7-8; Luke 17:30-37) and which will be sealed in the place of safety on the high mountains of Galilee (Ez 34:14)!
This Nation to be born in a day (Isaiah 66:7-8), is the Bowl above the Lampstand of Zechariah 4: 2-3, and this lampstand is the story of the True Church of God from Abel the Just, to the two Witnesses:
Images intégrées 2
– The 2 Olive-trees: are the 2 ambassadors of the Nation of God; they are the 2 witnesses of Revelation 11 during the Great Tribulation!
– The Bowl: above the lampstand, is the Church of God rising from the Laodicean correction to become the Nation of God, to be born in a day as Zion (Isaiah 66:7-11 ; Ps:87 ; Luke 17:34-37) !
– The 7 Lamps: are the seven eras of the Church of God of the New Testament of Revelation 2 and 3!
– The Rest of the Lampstand: represents all the faithful servants of God of the Old Testament (Hebrews 11)!
C o n c l u s i o n s
Since the death of Mr. Armstrong over 30 years ago, here briefly a few new revelations that God made to his little flock scattered and hidden in the world (Matthew 26:31 ; 13:38,44) through his second servant (we cited below), in the first phase of his mission and before his return to physical life; there are other important revelations that have been made to this man (Isaiah 42:9; 48:3-7), but God’s people of our generation does not understand and has rejected him as it was prophesied (Ps 118:22; Luke 17:25)!
Everything can be checked in the Bible (Dan 10:21; Act 17:11; 1 Thess 5:21), we must have just a little humility and let God enlighten us (Psalm 118:27; 119:130; Phil 3:15)!
In 2 Peter 1:19, God asked us “to fix our attention on the prophetic Word as a lamp shining in the dark “. The whole world is in the dark, but we, called-people, we should not be in the darkness (2 Cor 4:3-4; Phil 2:15; 1 Thess 5:4-7).
However, it is this key of the light of the prophetic word that was removed and lost by modern Pharisees and Doctors of the Law after the death of Mr. Armstrong (Luke 11:52).
Today, those who have only the law and not the prophetic light are like old wineskins that cannot support new wine or new revelations of the end of the times (Rev 22:10 ; Isa 42:9 ; 48:3-7 ; Luke 5:36-37 ; 2 Tim 4:3).This is why Jesus asked: ‘… when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? “(Luke 18:8), because:” … faith comes from … the word of Christ. “(Rom 10:17). (NB: When Jesus comes, he will be accompanied by his spouse, those of the first resurrection who have proved their faith. He was not speaking here of his return, but of the advent of the second son of the man who is Elijah, whom he mentioned in Luke 17:22-37! ). When we lose this lamp which is the prophetic Word of God, we walk in darkness. (Ps 119:105)
Today the Laodicean-Lambda will hardly refers to God’s Word, the Bible, for he says, “I am rich, I enriched myself (in knowledge), and have need of nothing” then “he does not know he is wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. » (Rev 3:17)..
We must not base our faith on human wisdom, but on the word and power of God. (1 Cor 2:4-5)
Here are excerpts from the booklet “ARE WE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS?” – Page 38, published by the Church of God:
“What we need to do individually, having realized the terror times in which we live is:
– To pay attention to world events, studying Bible prophecy and watch them perform daily (Luke 21:36),
– To remind us that “when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. » (Luke 21:31) “.. Know that the son of man is near, at the door. “(Matt 24:33),
– To learn to have with our Creator serious and close relationship. We ourselves must prove that the Bible is indeed the inspired Word of God. (2 Tim 3:16-17),
– Seek those through whom God is working and where He put His Name. Then act, beginning with comparing what we read or listen to sermons with what the Bible says (Act 17:11)! Our immediate future, undoubtedly depend on! “.
Bible prophecies are no longer sealed today for those that God really wake of the Laodicean Correction (Zec 4:1 ; Hag 1:14; 2:4; Dan 12:9-10), for the Day of the Lord is close (Rev. 22:10) and the advent of the second son of man, the Elijah to come to restore all things before that day is not far off (Ezekiel 36:8; Heb 10:25,37).
(a) When Jesus will come back!
That’s why Jesus must remain in heaven until the job is done. It is a work of restoration of all things in God’s House, now abandoned (Hag 2:3; Luke 13:35 ; Act 3:19-21; Matthew 17:11 ; Mark 9:12 ). Jesus will return to earth together with His Bride only:
-When Everything will be restored by Elijah- the son of man, who is a descendant of David (David-Son or Daw-Son) (Act 1:6; 3:19-21; Matthew 17:11; Am 9:11; 2 Chron 13:8) and
-When the Father will presided at the sky in front of the sea of glass (which is not on earth), the Marriage of the Lamb, the Coronation Ceremony of the 144,000 first fruits, and when He has finished pouring the plagues of His wrath on rebellious mankind (Rev. 19 :7-9; 11:15-19; 14:1-5; Rev 15:1-8; 16:17; 19:11-14)!
The advent of Christ is therefore not the next event that we should expect in God’s plan; He will return to earth 3 ½ years after the start of the Great Tribulation (Dan 12:7; Act 3:19-21), to establish the millennial reign (Rev. 19:11-21; 20:1-4).
(b) The Birth of ZION
The event that we expect today in the Church of God (Heb 10:25,37), is the coming of the son of man (Elijah) who bring the Nation of God (Zion) or physical kingdom of God (Isaiah 66: 7-8; Matthew 10:7,23; 24:33; Luke 21:31; Luke 17:30,34-37). But this advent will take place only after 10 Nations from the current European Union (28 countries) will be incorporated into a federation (United States of Europe) who is the Beast, the 8th Resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire ( Dan 2:41-44; Rev. 17:8,11-13).
Here is an excerpt of the ‘Plain Truth’ of September 1979 – Page 13: “Few people realize that the Roman Empire must exist, literally … just before the establishment prophesied of the Kingdom of God on earth … Since then, several steps have been taken towards achieving the ‘United States of Europe … a new Europe is in action, as surely as the sun will continue to stand and lie down. Many Europeans realize they will remain powerless as individual nations, as they will not have been gathered into a powerful union (or federation) .So only they can speak with one voice and to fully use their political and military forces … Note that ‘the beast’ (the leader of the final revival of the Roman Empire) will control and conduct the power of ‘ten kings’ or ten heads of state, who will act in total allegiance towards him “. This observation was made 37 years ago!
Where are we today? Look what’s happening right now before our eyes in the world, especially the events in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe (the crisis of migrants within the EU, due to the war against Islamic climb in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt and Libya, etc …) (Dan 11:40)! The upheavals on the geopolitical chessboard in these areas are in the process of quickly prepare the ground for the birth of a powerful Federal Europe, able to compete with the galloping Russian influence and to overcome the collapse of American hegemony in the world (Rev. 13:4) .The Europeans themselves are aware of the current weakness of “the European Union of independent states”, facing the serious challenges of the moment. Hence the necessity of a full Europe even decreased of some states!
NB: The 10 toes of the feet or hands of the human body consist of 28 phalanges (you must check them). But now, the European Union (7th head of the Beast) consists of 28 states where, according to the Bible (Rev. 17:10-12), come the 10 nations (8th head of the Beast) that will form soon the UNITED STATES OF EUROPE (USE)!
The Bible says that the 7th Head (EU) will not last long (Rev 17:10). Indeed, it is in July 2013 that the 28th state (Croatia) was admitted to the European Union to complement the 28 phalanges of the 10 fingers of Daniel 2:42-43 and Revelation 17:10. The outflow of England of the European Union (Brexit) would precipitate the formation of a Federal Europe of ten states as prophecy indicates!
It’s time to wake up (Isaiah 52:1-2); yes “..It’s time to awake out of sleep: because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over, the day is almost here …”(Rom 13:11-12) -“.. Encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching” (Hebrews 10:25).!
No other event can occur today in the church where Christ is working before the birth of ZION, the Nation of God (Jn 5:17; Isa 62:1-2,6-7; Ps 102:13 ; Jn 12:26), which is the Bowl above the Lampstand of Zechariah 4. Until this bowl will not be at the top of lampstand, we remain all Laodiceans, that is to say, the 7th Era of Church of God (Rev. 3: 14-22). This bowl represents the Church of God reborn from the current Laodicean Correction (7th era) to become the Nation of God, that will lead the son of man who is Elijah (8th and final episode)!
NB: One must note that, the 8th Resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire will occur just before the 8th Birth of the Church of God as Zion, the physical kingdom of God! Eight (8) is the number of God for a New Beginning !
The Bible says that if the son of the man who is Elijah (Mark 9:12) is not come to restore ALL THINGS, before the Day of the Lord (Mal 4:5; Matt 17:11), God would strike the land of extermination (Malachi 4: 6-end of the verse).
The coming of the second Elijah (John the Baptist) and the first advent of Christ in the first century have almost gone unnoticed in the world.
The advent of the Third Elijah, son of man before the Lord’s Day and the Second coming of Christ, Son of God, which closes the Day of the Lord will be known to all mankind! (Luke 17:24; Rev. 1:7).
The two advents will be supernatural events, miraculous, extraordinary that will shake the world (Psalm 40:1-4; Es 29:23-24; Matth 24:30; Rev 1:7)!
(c) False “Elijah and Son of Man “
This is why Jesus warned his disciples of the end times not to run or go after when people will tell them ‘the son of man is here and he is here’ (Luke 17:23) because false sons of man, and false prophets will arise even from the midst of the Church of God to seduce the people of God (Matthew 24:24; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 1 John 2:18-19).
We see this today in various groups from the former Worldwide Church of God (WCG) where some leaders claim to be the ‘son of man, and Elijah’; and the children of God, scattered, blinded, spiritually hungry and carried about by every wind of doctrine since the death of Mr. Armstrong, wandering here and there in search of the son of man, as prophesied (EZ 34:5-6; Zeph 1:17; Amos 8:11-12 ; Eph 4:14).
In his booklet entitled “WCG-Doctrinal Changes”, M. Gerald Flurry wrote in page 33 (in French): ‘God’s people are warned to beware of deception, especially in the end of the times. How this deception would happen? How could somebody deceive God’s people? The Church cannot be easily deceived by people who are not members. The Bible shows us that God’s people are usually deceived from the inside” (dixit)
True awakened Disciples of Christ are cautioned not to wander to find in which group is the son of the man: HE IS TODAY IN NO GROUP!
We must be convinced 100% of where God works today to correct his people (Jn 12:26). He is where are the 4 Blacksmiths or Sentinels. We must remain focused on the biblical revelation that is clear and that is no longer hidden today (2 Pet 1:19; Rev 22:10)!
– Let’s come out of this laodicean-Babylon of deception, People of God Let us separate because our salvation is near! (Isaiah 48:20; 52:11; Jer 51:6-8,45; 2 Cor 6:17; Rev. 18:4)
– Let’s come out of our self-righteousness, for it is the time of our judgment (there is no second chance for us)! (Rev. 3:17; Hos 5:1; 1 Peter 4:17)
– Let’s go in ourselves, let us seek the Lord before the decree is placed in execution! (Zeph 2:1-3; 2 Cor 13:5)
(d) The Revelation of the True Son of man
The unexpected and miraculous arrival of the ‘true’ son of man on the world stage (Matthew 24:44; Luke 21:24-25; 1 Thess 5:2) will be known to all mankind, it will not be hidden, since he will be a well-known man, who reportedly died few years earlier, and who will return to physical life (will resurrect or sprout) where he was buried (Ps 30:1-4; 40:1-4; Zec 6:12); after returning to physical life, he will be surrounded by some people alive, also known, from all continents, and who find themselves instantly and miraculously by his side without the aid of a known means of transport, even the fastest and most sophisticated (Zec 3: 8 ; Dan 2:34,45 ; Jer 3:14 ; Deut 30:4 ; Mark 13:27 ; Luke 17:30,34-37).
This amazing event will be relayed by all media worldwide (internet, television, radio, etc …) like lightning from east to west (Isa 45:5-6; Matthew 24:27; Luke 17:24).The whole earth will be astonished to see: “A Revenant with people who were still a few moments ago, sleeping in their beds, or making their kitchen or working in their field to thousands of kilometers away!» (Luke 17:34-36)!
It is this event that Traditional Christianity has always called ‘the Rapture’ which in reality is the Birth of the Nation of God in a day! (Isaiah 66:7-8): the gathering of physical elect will be done by the Angels (eagles) that will take them where is ‘the Body’, that is to say the son of man returned to the physical life (Luke 17:30,34-37)!
This personage who must play all these important roles before the Day of the Lord is also the prophetic Cyrus who means “For the Last Time” , by whom the Lord will “open all the doors that gates may not be closed” (Isa 45:1).He will rebuilt God’s Temple in its Foundations made by Zerubbabel (M. Armstrong). (Isa 44:28 ; Zech 4:9)!
He was named before his birth: “The Lord called me from the womb, from the womb he named me.” (Isa 49:1), “ The Lord, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.” (Isa 45:3), and this name is mentioned in the Bible!
The Son of man, God’s prophet, returned to physical life (Luke 17:30,37) who will face the Prince of Tyre, False prophet, is named Daniel (Ez 28:1-3; 2 Thess 2:3)! He is not the prophet Daniel who died for centuries, and awaits the resurrection of the Saints (Dan 12:13 ; Heb 11:13,39-40)!
A Dead cannot speak to a Living.(Ecc 9:5)! So, the son of man, Elijah, the Son of David who will come very soon to rebuild his House and the Temple of God is named Daniel David’s son, or Daw-son! Jesus Himself was called: Jesus David’s Son (Matth 1:1; 9:27)!
This is very very important, not to be deceived! Because, we had M. Daniel Wayne Dawson (Judge of God-Builder-Son of David), pastor in the Church of God (Cog-avoicecriesout)

He died on 05.09.2005 in Front Royal, Virginia (USA), after much suffering paralysis (osteoarthritis) for 17 years while in the Church of God, as was prophesied (he entered into God’s Church towards sixties and was minister at his death) – (Luke 17:25).
It was during his long illness, stuck at home, that God made him all the new revelations we know today since the death of Mr. Armstrong; and it is because of his illness “he has not raised his voice”, and ”was bound so that he cannot go out among the people”, as prophesied (Isaiah 42:9; Ezek 3:24-27; Rev 14:8). As prophesied, too, as a descendant of David, he must return to the physical life and raise from his fall the tent or house of David his grandfather in the end time (Job 14:13 ; Ps 30:1-4; 40:1-4; 2 Sam 7:12-15,19,25; Amos 9:11).
It is time to stand up and lift up our heads, because our redemption is drawing near (Luke 21:28,36)!
(e) Current Work
That is why the current labor of the remnant of God’s people who is hidden in the world (Matthew 13:38,44), is to witness to the lost and wandering sheep of the house of Israel (spiritual and physical) the supernatural coming of the Kingdom of God by the son of the man who is Elijah to come to restore all things (John 3:11; 15:27 ; 2 Tim 2:7-8) .This work is asked by God, it’s His dictated Will (Hab 2:1-3; Matthew 10:7,23) and we are obliged to do it (Jer 20:9; 1 Cor 9:16) .No Laodicean group knows neither does it , God revealed and gave it only to His remnant awakened (Matt 13:11 ; Luke 12:32; 1 Cor 3:9; 2 Cor 6:1-2, 1 Cor 4 :1-2)!
Since the work of God is hidden in the world today, He has raised “in this last hour of the beginning of 21st century” (1 Jn 2:18), the revolutionary technological way of Internet (Dan 12: 4; Rev 22:10). Now his faithful servants (Matthew 24:45-46) can move through virtual cities (websites) of Laodicean, the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matth 10:23) to leave messages written, without noises, and without raising voice as ordained by God! (Isaiah 42:1-2; Hab 2:2; Ps 147:15).
God’s work therefore does not concern the world in this last hour (Matth10: 5), it’s focused on God’s people scattered, blinded and who is on trial, awaiting the revelation of the son of man (Elijah) who will bring the Kingdom of God hidden in the world (1 Peter 4:17; Matt 10:6-7,23; Luke 12:32; Matt 13: 38,44; Rom 8:19; Luke 17: 30.34-37).
Summary
-M. Armstrong (The 1st Blacksmith) announced to the world at the Philadelphia era of the Church, as testimony, the good news of the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth (Matt 24:14; Rev 14:6 7). Apostasy and dispersion happened in the Church after his preaching and his death, as prophesied! (Ezekiel 34: 5-6; Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:3)!
-The Son of man, Elijah (2nd Blacksmith), will literally bring the Kingdom of God by the Nation of God to be born in a day as a mustard seed (Isa 66:7-8; Luke 17:30,34-37; Matthew 13:31).Then he will lead this Nation of God in the Safety Place in Galilea on Mount Hermon called Mount Zion where Jesus was transfigured 2000 ago and God will begin to shake the world (Hag 2:6; Luke 17:30), as in the days of Noah and Lot (Luke 17: 26-29)!
-The 2 Witnesses (3rd and 4th Blacksmiths) will be representatives of the Nation of God and the actors of the divine work during the Great Tribulation, while the world will be shaken (Rev 11:3-12; 14:9-11 )!
-The Son of God, Jesus, will put an end to a shaken world, by the destruction of the agents of Satan (the beast and the false prophet) and the establishment of the Millennial Reign (Rev. 19:20; 20:1- 4)!
‘Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit saith … “(Rev 2:7)” … the Spirit of truth … will show you things to come ” (Jn 16:13)!
In the Name of Jesus Christ!
