The Grand Pattern—Again!
Back to The Work of God
Again, Satan counterfeits everything, with emphasis on those things that are most important. PCG, which claims to be ;raising the ruins” of Mr. Armstrong’s ministry, is a much greater imposter/counterfeit than most realize. Wrong on many doctrines of major importance, unlike other splinters, they claim to be copying all that Mr. Armstrong accomplished in doing the Work.
In fact, The Restored Church of God is following what I have called ;The Grand Pattern” of all the other things Mr. Armstrong’s 52-year ministry accomplished. We are not just prophesying again, but are following, in a host of ancillary areas, many other elements again of this extraordinary, God-inspired pattern—other aspects of the Church that made possible such an immense Work.
For instance, we have already achieved: an extensive field ministry, a college to train field ministers and additional Headquarters leaders, a wonderful summer camp (Summer Educational Program, or S.E.P.), a staggering amount of high quality literature, three four-color magazines, a program paralleling The World Tomorrow broadcast, publishing in multiple languages, publishing certain books in major bookstores, feast sites in every corner of the world, annual ;Behind the Work” Feast films to keep all of God’s people inspired and on the same page, the same internal infrastructure of departments and divisions, the same pattern of progressive innovation regarding vehicles explored to do the Work, and so much more. All these things occurred in the past, so it is not surprising that they have reappeared in one form or another.
It is wrong to attribute this pattern to Mr. Armstrong, the man. These things were achieved because they wereGod’s pattern, merely revealed through His human leader. But the pattern was so powerful that it held tens of thousands in place who later evidenced they did not even have the Holy Spirit. It was so effective that it also kept in place what were almost all of the others who did have the Holy Spirit, but who later proved they were insufficiently convicted to avoid being seduced into rejection of both doctrinal truths and the pattern as a whole.
Think about this, then think about the following paragraph!
It would only be natural that Satan made certain his counterfeit was in place well before all of the above parallels could be achieved. This allowed greater numbers to be deceived into following an utterly false impostor. The devil could hardly permit otherwise.
So when you think of The Restored Church of God, you should think of much more than continuing the Work as the Church did it, but rather you should also be mindful of everything else that was accomplished within the twentieth-century forerunner of Revelation 10:11!
Continuing Unchanged
Before concluding, we must pause and ask again who else is talking about the things of this chapter? The answer is NO ONE! Yet, and I am repeating from the end of an earlier chapter, you have now seen that this powerful connecting prophecy to the ;short work” is inseparable from the Ezekiel Warning. You have also seen that the fulfillment of this profoundly important prophecy—the scattering of Israel, yielding a remnant—isIMMINENT, and why it will ultimately affect all nations—the entire world!
So then, one final time: Why does no one talk about these things—and their direct connection to the Work of God at the end of the age? And should you not at least ask why you are learning about them here, from The Restored Church of God?
By now you must surely realize that the Work of God is not finished—far from it!—and neither has it changed!—in fact, you have learned the reasons that it literally cannot change until everything done before is repeated—done ONCE MORE—AGAIN!
Grasp this! You have come in contact with the only Church and Work truly led by and used of God. I state again on Christ’s authority that The Restored Church of God will be the instrument through which Almighty Godrepeats the Work of the Worldwide Church of God under Mr. Herbert Armstrong—and will thus be the ONLY ORGANIZATION to finish the true Work of God, prior to the Two Witnesses.
Will you be part of it? Your answer connects to a bigger issue…
