Transcription of Sabbath Sermon, 154 
Given by
Lawrence A. Nowell
on the 16th day of God’s 4 Moon/month 5993
July 7, 2012  
1.)	This is the Obedient Church of God broadcasting worldwide bringing the heart of the Father to the children and the hearts of the children to the Father by obedience. Can’t have a bunch of disobedient “brats” running around in your Kingdom, so we are here to help turn the Father’s heart to you and your hearts to the Father.

2.)	“We don’t want to talk about it,”  how you are breaking God’s heart, but if we have to preach a little bit longer, “but if we preach a little bit longer, if I preach, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart?”

3.)	 We are broadcasting today only by cell phone because storms have wiped out our Internet connection, and you are going to see today how a sermon and a service is put together, and you are going to get a whole bunch of “Sparklers” and tid bits, and a lot good pieces of information, but first, we’re going to tell you

4.)	“I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart. If I preach to you a little bit longer, if I preach, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart, God’s heart, God’s heart?”

5.)	Bonjour Paree, France, sez sez hours après midi le houre du dinier au France. Six P.M. suppertime in Paris; Nine A.M. on the West Coast, Los Angeles; twelve noon on the East Coast, New York City. Breakfast time, lunch time, suppertime, the perfect time for our spiritual feeding today. We’ll be bringing the truth of the First Century Gospel.

6.)	“I don’t want to preach about it how you broke God’s heart. If I preach to you a little bit longer, if I preach, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart?”

7.)	Yes indeed. We are The Obedient Church of God broadcasting from www.theworldtomorrow.org and www.forthenations.com . You’ll be able to see this service on those Internet sites, and the video will be up by 8 o’clock-10 o’clock tonight. 

8.)	And the reason we are not on the Internet right now, is because all the communications are still down from the big storm that had hit this area. So we are only broadcasting via our cell phone because the computer and the land line are on fiber optic cables both hooked together, and when one goes down, the other one is obviously with it, so they both go down. 

9.)	Welcome to The Obedient Church of God. Today is the 7th day of July, but it is, more importantly, the fourth moon/month and the 16th day. We don’t use the name Tammuz because that is a pagan, pagan name.

10.)	So on today’s broadcast you get a real treat of a whole bunch of information in snippits that is very poignant, and you’ll see how a sermon is actually put together in a broadcast by these different pieces of paper. 

11.)	First we want to enter the Throne Room, and worship our God. And why are we doing the broadcast today after all this duress? The purpose of the Sabbath is to come before God to worship Him.

12.)	 We are not going to let a little or a big storm or downed communications stop us from worshipping our Father. It is so important to know, and it is not just for the spiritual feeding, although that is very important to give good pasture: pastor the sheep by bringing them good pasture, but also to worship your Father.    

13.)	So all turn to your 1934 style hymnals with the original words from 1934 (I’ll hold it up to camera one, the cameras are on, camera two, and camera three). 

14.)	You know we are very self-sufficient and independent: we’ve got stand-by generators today, and we’ve got all the power we need if the power goes out again for some reason. So I’m saying, everyone should prepare, these are the “birth-pangs,” and they will be bigger and stronger and the world is in rebellion, and the elements in the world are in rebellion.

15.)	But first we’ve got to get into the Throne Room by a prayer, and we always give the prayer to introduce ourselves before we give our praises to Father. We first give the prayer to introduce ourselves, it only makes good sense.

16.)	So all please rise, face the North Heavens where Father is with Yeshua at His right hand side, arms extended, head bowed, eyes closed.

17.)	“Almighty, most-merciful, and loving Father, praise and glory to you and Yeshua at you right-hand side forever and ever. We come before you today to praise you and Yeshua, and to share this day with you. 

18.)	“Thank you for protecting us on this hill from this storm. Not one tree was broken down here and yet down the road the road is impassable with broken trees. Thank you that no one on this street got killed. A couple of families of the five people that got killed from this storm in this area were five miles away in Cades Cove, as you know Father.

19.)	“So thank you for protecting us. We turned the wheel, but we didn’t even see the trees move around us, but all farther down the road there was all kinds of devastation taking place. So thank you Father. 

20.)	“Also Father, look after the brethren in Pakistan, there are 200 plus of them and they are really having a rough time every day of their week. They are very, very poor and they can’t get jobs because they are Christians, and the Moslems in that area want to kill them. And, indeed, four years ago eight of them were murdered by a mob of 1,000. So Father look after the brethren in Pakistan. 

21.)	“Please inspire the service today, the hearing and the speaking, and especially on the video tapes, especially today, because the people around the world can’t get the broadcast today because the video was knocked-out, and the streaming Internet was knocked-out, and the home service was knocked-out.

22.)	“So Father inspire the service when they hear, inspire the hearing of the service when they hear it on the video later tonight in the evening.

23.)	“Now Father we commend this service into your hands, and ask it all in Yeshua’s holy righteous name, Yeshua ha Mashiach, our soon arriving King and High Priest, Amen.”

24.)	Yes, it was quite the horrific storm and we might mention more about that if there is time, but I’m sure you have seen it on the news. So we’re not just kidding when we say that we were protected and not one tree was knocked down on our hill; not one tree crashed down on our road, because God doesn’t want phonies. And if you don’t have that love of the truth, you pray for a love of the truth then.

25.)	There are a couple of things to understanding Father, and He knows who is really with Him, and if He has some kind of “Yes man,” who is a yes man to advance his own position, and to try to duck the tribulation, they aren’t going to fool him. And that’s going to hurt Father. It is going to hurt Father because He Father has emotions.

26.)	We are in the Throne Room now. So with no further ado, all take your hymnals and turn to page 63, “O Lord Thou Art My God and King” in praise of our great Father with Yeshua at His right hand side. This is the 145th Psalm.

27.)	Yes indeed, it is a privilege to be alive to sing the songs of praise to our Father with Yeshua at His right hand side. So now please turn to page number 49, “Teach Me Lord, Teach Me That I May Know,” page 110 in other hymnals. 

28.)	This is a petition to Father, so please, if you want to know anything, better sing out. How can He teach you if you don’t sing the words when you are listening to this broadcast? So sing out, “Lord Teach Me That I May Know.” 

29.)	I hope that you sang out there because you are saying the words, Lord teach me that I may know, and if you want to know, you had better sing out.

30.)	Now let’s turn to page number 66, “Praise Ye the Lord,” in praise of our great heavenly Father. This service is not just for you to listen, it’s for you to praise Father. So I want you to sing out. That’s the purpose of this service. “Praise Ye the Lord,” page 66, page 112 in other hymnals. Don’t embarrass yourself to Father. It moves right along, so please keep up. 

31.)	 The worship service is just that, a worship service, which is so important. So therefore, because when we are under duress, we want to stay steadfast and keep our heads and wits about us as to what we are doing. 

32.)	So guess what? We are going to sing another hymn. So we use it as an opportunity to praise God, so turn to page 115, and 114 in other hymnals, “Hallelujah! Praise God.” So we have an extra hymn today because of the duress, so we use it to the advantage of God’s glory; we go forward even stronger.

33.)	Amen to that. You just said, Father, you will reign for all ages with Yeshua at your side. So that is how you handle adversity. You don’t back up. You go forward. You go forward and even stronger. You give it all you’ve got. We did an extra hymn today because of the adversity. 

34.)	As you know we always start off the broadcast with new people tuning in to set down the basics of the tenants of God, so the people can know there is no other congregation like The Obedient Church of God. And we state that because we are the only congregation in the whole world that is not moving the Sabbath Day to the sixth-day in half of the world.

35.)	That happened when the International Date Line was set up in 1883, and our people moved the Sabbath Day to Friday in half the world, no longer waiting for the sun to go down on the start of the seventh-day. 

36.)	We, obviously, won’t be fooled by that, and therefore, our congregations wait for the Sabbath Day to start. And, therefore, every other congregation, including the Living Church of God, the United Church of God, Triumph Prophetic Ministry, the Church of God the Eternal, the Philadelphia Church of God, all of the Churches of God and breaking the Sabbath.

37.)	The Sabbath is the test commandment, “the Sabbath is the test commandment.” How can you possibly go along with moving the Sabbath to the sixth-day, when it is the test commandment? So let’s see if we can find that scripture for you regarding the Sabbath. 

38.)	And anyone out there who says he is going to wait for Christ to restore all things when he knows the Sabbath is on the seventh-day, and he knows the International Date Line caused people to move the Sabbath to the sixth-day in half the world, what does Psalm 5 say in verse 6? “Destroy those who speak falsely: the Lord abhors…the deceitful man.”

39.)	Psalm 5:8, “…make your way straight before my face.” It is very clear. God abhors the deceitful man who gives excuses for not keeping the Sabbath Day in all of the world. That means that people are working on the Sabbath Day in half of the world. It couldn’t get any more serious than that to be working on God’s Sabbath. 

40.)	I’ve got to work without the computer today, so if I go to the back of my Bible, let’s see what the back of my Bible says on the Sabbath is a sign between God and man. The sign that half the people in the world don’t follow and that the other Churches of God don’t follow, so they don’t have the sign between them and God.

41.)	If the members of the Churches of God go to the feast in New Zealand and the feast in Australia, they’ll be working on the Sabbath Day and feasting on a different day. Either one day early, two days late, two days early and one day late and then the chaos come in with the date line. They might be three days early, and two days late or three days late and two days early. It just goes on and on and on and on.

42.)	Let’s see if we can find it here. The Sabbath is a sign between God and man. Ezekiel 20:20, “And hallow my Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you many know that I am the Lord your God.” Ezekiel 20:20 is an easy one to remember. Try to remember that: 20:20, test commandment, Ezekiel 20:20. Sabbaths are a sign.

43.)	The other reference is Ezekiel 20:12, “Moreover I gave them my Sabbaths to be a sign between them and me, that they might know who sanctifies them.”

44.)	 Let’s read in verse 13 too, Yet if the House of Israel, if all the Churches of God rebelled against me in a spiritual wilderness, and they did not walk in my Sabbaths, and they despised by Sabbaths by moving the Sabbath to Friday; they defiled by Sabbaths: then I said, then I said I will pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. How would you like to be consumed, be consumed in the spiritual wilderness also? 

45.)	This isn’t going to be a cake walk. This is big time trouble for the world for not keeping the sign between you and Father. Now you want to be sealed? Go to Isaiah 8:16 to see what Isaiah had to say about sealing good people. “…seal the law among my disciples,” seal the law among whom? This is directed to the disciples. That is you and I. Bing the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. 

46.)	Go to verse 18, “Here am I and the children whom the Lord hath given me, we are for signs and wonders in Israel…” What is a sign? Verse 16 again, seal the law among whom, “whom?” My disciples. That’s who you seal the law among.

47.)	Well, let’s go to Isaiah 10:1, “Woe unto them who decree unrighteous decrees,” woe to them who make unrighteous laws, such as moving the Sabbath to the sixth-day in half of the world. “Woe to them…” It is very simple. Okay. This is all going to come back on their heads, their disobedient heads. 

48.)	It says in verse 9 of Isaiah 10, “…Is not Samaria (that’s America) like Damascus?” Oh! Oh! We know that Damascus if going to be leveled.

49.)	In verse 7 [of Isaiah 10] says, “…but it is not in his heart to destroy…” but, in verse 9, “…is not Samaria (America) like Damascus?” It is very serious.

50.)	We are still on the topic of sealing the servants for all the new listeners out there, now let’s go to Exodus 31:13, “…my Sabbaths…is a sign between me and you throughout your generations so that you may know that the Lord sanctifies you.”

51.)	Exodus 31:13, “ Surely...” (when He says “surely,” He is saying, “Hey there! Listen up,”) “my Sabbaths you shall keep for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations that you may know that I am the Lord your God who sanctifies you.”

52.)	Verse 14 [of Exodus 31], “You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you; everyone who profanes it shall sure be put to death…” So, in New Zealand and in Australia, they are profaning the Sabbath. That’s right, because they are working on the Sabbath. 

53.)	Tomorrow they will work on the Sabbath, because they have to wait for the sun to set, and when the sun sets then the Sabbath starts. The Sabbath isn’t going to start until about 22 hours from now by the time it runs its course around the cycle of the earth. “You shall keep the Sabbath… it is holy; everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death.” See how serious this is? 

54.)	Now for any naysayers out there that want to try to get technical here, verse 17, “It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” Could it be any clearer? You want a sign; you want a mark on you? It is the Sabbath: it is a sign on you forever.

55.)	Read it verbatim: “It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever:” Could it be any clearer than that? 

56.)	Let us go to Number 15:32-35, “While the children of Israel were in the wilderness; they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath Day. And those who found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him. 

57.)	“And the Lord,” the Lord God, “said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.”

58.)	Look, you are going to be having people, and The Obedient Church of God is telling you this, on the authority of God, that if they continue to break the Sabbath, and work on the Sabbath, whether it be gathering sticks or working on their cars, the penalty is death. It is very serious for moving the Sabbath around.

59.)	Now The Obedient Church of God has on the Internet site, we know how to pilot God’s ship correctly. And just like this big horrendous storm that has come through this area, and knocked down all the power lines, and knocked down all the fiber optic Internet lines, we could very well have had an excuse of not to have the service today. Couldn’t. The purpose of the service is to praise God. 

60.)	Sidebar: If ever there is an incident where the broadcast is not on, on the Sabbath Day, and you are not hearing it on the Sabbath Day, you get your hymnals and you sing at least three hymns in praise of Father and Yeshua, because part of the Sabbath is worship, “worship,” worthy of worship.

61.)	 And for you to sit back and not sing any hymns on the Sabbath Day just because the broadcast isn’t on, and worse than that, if the broadcast is on and you are sitting on your dump and not singing, not only are you embarrassing yourself before God, but you are not showing yourself to be a very good sheep. You are showing yourself to being a very bad sheep who won’t even sing praises to God.

62.)	I wanted to bring out that point that we know how to pilot God’s ship correctly. So not only did we sing hymns to Father and Yeshua, not only are we broadcasting by a cell phone, but we are singing and extra hymn. And that’s what you do when adversity strikes, you go an extra mile. 

63.)	Now I want you to realize that the sign that you want to have to be protected is God’s Sabbath Day. And all of the Churches of God offshoots are breaking God’s sign, the Sabbath sign for ever and “ever and ever.” And it’s even worse than that because they are suppressing the truth. 

64.)	Some ministers are suppressing the truth. Go to Romans 1:18, Paul’s letter to the Romans. In verse 12, “That is, that I may be encouraged together with you and by the mutual faith both of you and me. So that’s why we are here today, because we have faith and we are going to carry on and we are going to show God we are going to sing an extra hymn in  praise of Him.

65.)	Now, what about those who suppress the truth and keep Friday for the Sabbath Day in Australia and New Zealand, in China and India and even in Pakistan? Verse 18, “The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all” who? “…men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.” 

66.)	You don’t know who you are dealing with when you move the Sabbath Day around. You are suppressing the truth in unrighteousness. You know that you cannot have the 1883 Date Line. You know that you cannot have that. You’ve got to wait until the sun goes down.

67.)	And watch out for those ministers, “sinisters” in this case, who say that Christ will restore all things. Hebrews 10:26, If you know to do right, and you don’t do it, there is no sacrifice for your sins. That’s how serious this is. 

68.)	If you know that the Sabbath Day is Sunday in half of the world, and you deliberately suppress the truth, that the Sabbath Day is on Sunday, you have to wait until the shadow of the sun reaches the rest of the world to start the seventh day. If you suppress the truth in unrighteousness, the wrath of God is against you. It is so serious.

69.)	Well, there are all the other incidents too. Remember, there is Sky Father’s Day that everyone just celebrated. God said He created the earth and the heavens, “the heavens and the earth,” but the pagans say that Sky Father did.

70.)	 And on the week leading up to the longest day of the year, they, the pagans—witches and warlocks—all prance around on the longest day of the year in jovial frivolity on the longest day of the year or leading up to it. Don’t learn the way of the heathens. 

71.)	Romans 1:25, “Who changed the truth for a lie…and served the creature…” such as, the creature of Turkey-god Day, the goose that laid the cosmic egg that Ra and Osiris were born from. And they have always had fall festivals, “fall festivals” regarding the goose/turkey, because all the geese had flown south, so they had to get turkeys to keep the Harvest Home Festival.

72.)	And all day long into the fall at Harvest Home Festival, you’ll hear on national public radio that it is harvest home, and sometimes they’ll even have occult members on the broadcast taking their spin at this. 

73.)	Anyways they have exchanged the truth, what truth? Deuteronomy 12:32, do not add any days; do not add one single day. Or they have exchanged the truth for a lie. They add a Turkey-god Day. And they serve the turkey as a beautiful centerpiece right in front of them, instead of the true God.

74.)	You have to realize that God has to be worshipped in sincerity and in truth. You can look that scripture up. [John 4:23 Worship in Spirit and in truth.] Therefore, it is inexcusable to not worship Father in truth. 

75.)	You can’t let your foolish thoughts…you can’t have your foolish heart darkened. Romans 1:21. Because when they knew God, (oh yes, they knew God, only fifty percent of the virgins were only half-full of oil), because although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were they thankful, but they became futile in their thoughts.

76.)	And instead of becoming wise, they became fools, and they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into what? Sky Father’s Day, Mother-goddess Day, the image made like corruptible man, man-birds, and birds? Hello! Turkey?  Is the turkey a bird? Of course the turkey’s a bird.

77.)	And they worshipped God, and made God into an image like to a corruptible man, and to birds (turkeys), and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Okay. This is how serious it is.

78.)	 And that also applies to homosexuality. And I’ll tell you, it is even worse than homosexuality because it is like witchcraft. Disobedience is like witchcraft. Not that it is bad enough when you are talking about homosexuality.

79.)	Disobedience is like the sin of witchcraft.

80.)	Now back to “the sign;” we read clearly in Exodus 31:13 and verse 17, the Sabbath is a sign.

81.)	 Now let’s go to the New Testament to II Thessalonians 1:8 that says, “Vengeance … on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.” What was the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ? Not that Jesus Christ arrived, which you will hear on every two-bit broadcast on T.V., they are telling you that He arrived, but what was the gospel? The gospel is the seventh-day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. 

82.)	 The gospel is the good news, “news, news” that you are going to have a sign put on you, a mark put on you and that mark is going to be the Sabbath Day.

83.)	 So all you Living Church of God members that are going to the feast in New Zealand and Australia, get on you minister, get on Meridith’s back and tell him to give his head a shake, and get him to change and put the Sabbath Day on Sunday in Australia and in New Zealand because that is the correct day for the waiting for the shadow of the sun, whether you like it or not.

84.)	Well, what is going to happen if they don’t? II Thessalonians 2:10, “…and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish,” why? Why are they perishing? Because they didn’t receive a love of the truth that the Sabbath Day is the seventh-day. 

85.)	And go on to verse 12, “…but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” And pleasure in Friday, in Mother-goddess Day, Sky-Father’s Day, and all the other gods and goddesses. They had pleasure in their beautiful Turkey. Well, you have 364 other days to have a turkey dinner; don’t have it on the Harvest Home Day. That’s pagan, whether you say it or not. 

86.)	If you are marching in Hitler’s parade, if you are attending Hitler’s parade on Turkey-god Day, you are marching in Hitler’s parade, whether you say so or not. You have got 364 other days to have a day of praise and thanks to Father.

87.)	 And you know the scriptures that say, Do not learn the way of the Gentile, do not learn the way of the heathen; and all the scriptures that say when you come into their land, do not learn their practices. 

88.)	Well, I’ve got news for you, in II Thessalonians 3:6, “We command you brethren in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw” from every church minister, “from every brother who walks disorderly, and not according to the tradition you received from us.”

89.)	So, in the First Century in the second epistle that Paul wrote to the Thessalonians, they walk not according to the tradition which you received from us. We command you withdraw from every brother who does not walk according to the tradition which you received from us.

90.)	And you did not receive Turkey-god Day from Paul from the First Century Church, you didn’t receive Sky-Father’s Day. Now those days were around; those days have been around for 4,000 years; 4,000 years those days have been around.

91.)	Key Bear Note: Well, “they received not a love of the truth that they might be saved,” so they perish, II Thessalonians 2:10. 

92.)	Put these Bear Notes in a separate note book that you have that has all the salient points that involve your salvation, and involves you having understanding. And it also involves points on Armageddon, and points on the scriptures that are not easily understood.

93.)	Back on chapter 3, verse 6 of II Thessalonians, “We command you,” we don’t ask you, “we command you.” This is a command. Get out, put you off from the Living Church of God, the United Church of God, Triumph Prophetic Ministries, Church of God the Eternal, the Philadelphia Church of God, the United Church of God Worldwide Association, because brother who walks not according to the tradition which you received from us.

94.)	And verse 10 [of Chapter 2] is the key, “they received not the love of the truth…”

95.)	Verse 15, “…hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.”  See how serious this is. Now, hopefully, you’ve got it through your head that the Sabbath is a sign that you cannot mess with and you cannot move it around.

96.)	And no, the Jews, the Levites, the Pharisees do not have the ability to move God’s days around. They do not have the ability to move the Sabbath Day to the sixth-day in half the world, just like the Pope doesn’t have the authority to move the Sabbath Day to the first day [of the week] in half of the world. 

97.)	Nor do they have the ability to use an averaging calendar. They are not allowed to; you are not allowed to move God’s holy days, His divine “appointed days.” 

98.)	Go to Isaiah 6:13 where there is only a tenth left. There is only a tenth of the people left. So you think it is going to be a cake walk and you can do whatever you want to do? Can’t. Because you know that people are going to be disobedient, so what is going to happen? 

99.)	Go into Isaiah 6 and just read it one time, so that we know how serious this is, and this is not just theoretical knowledge that we are getting here. Isaiah 6, verse 11, “…the houses are without a man, and the land is utterly desolate…”verse 13, yet a tenth will be left, ‘a tenth will be left.’ And who is this referring to? 

100.)	  Go to chapter 7 of Isaiah, verse 8, “…within 65 years,” could it be any clearer than that? “Ephraim will be broken.” Okay. Here is one of your Bear Notes.

101.)	Bear Note: Sixty-five years from when? 1948. I would say within 65 years Ephraim, the U.S.A., and Ephraim is the U.S.A. Mr. Armstrong had is backwards. Ephraim will be broken.

102.)	And in verse 9 we’ve got Ephraim as Samaria. This is so serious. So now on today’s Sabbath, we are telling you the sign for the new listeners, and we are telling you that there will only be a tenth left. We don’t want these terrible things to be happening to any of our friends or acquaintances, but we have to tell you these things, “we have to tell you these things.”

103.)	Now because of today’s broadcast and we can’t get on to the computers, we will pull up some of the Sparklers here to give you on material that’s very important. We have some material from some of our associates, “material from some of our associates.”  

104.)	Before we get to some of our associates, I can tell from my indicator here that the phone lines are up, and I can dial in on video land line, which I’m going to do and it’ll give you a better sound. One moment please while we get you a better connection. All right. Just hang in there. And there you go. 

105.)	God did not hire a fool to do a broadcast. We know what we are doing. Now we are going to give you an article from one of our correspondents, named Darren Clarke, on Shvout. 

106.)	But before we do that we are going to bring up the Internet connection also. And I’ll get the computer back up and it will be live on the Internet. So your prayers have been answered. And we are going to be going live around the world. I’ve just got to get the streaming up, and providentially the computer is going faster than it generally does.

107.)	And I have the computer and phone connected to each other, so I’m unplugging the cell phone from the computer, and I’ve just got the Internet streaming up and it starts. We are on the Internet. This is The Obedient Church of God broadcasting live from www.theworldtomorrow.org  and www.forthenations.com. For all of you who left your computers on, I hope you can hear the broadcast live.

108.)	 Because of this horrendous storm that whipped through the Southern States, our fiber optics connection was torn down by the trees, but we on the hill were not touched, not scathed either. The wind was roaring around us, and I looked up to see where the sound was coming from because the trees were still. 

109.)	All around us the trees were totally still when I heard the great rushing, roaring wind. Seventy mile per hour winds were reported on all of the news broadcasts.  Seventy mile per hours winds and I heard that it was reported on all the news broadcasts, steady stream of wind and I heard that over the hill as it went over the top of us.

110.)	So that is why we are late on the broadcast today. So welcome to The Obedient Church of God, all of the people worldwide. Now we can do the broadcast and give you some interesting information giving the broadcast worldwide. And even if I was the only one, I would still do the broadcast. Nothing can stop the Word of God from going forward.

111.)	For all the old listeners that we got the Internet going, it a summation of an article on Pentecost, and it is from Mr. Clarke, and he writes: “Over the last couple of years, it has become increasingly apparent to me that the New Covenant and its exalted high priest are not given their full due within Messianic Jewish and Hebrew roots community. 

112.)	“It is our intent to focus on the newness of this covenant of such high and precious price that distinguishes itself from its predecessor. Contrary to some teachings of men, there is plenty that is new in the New Covenant.

113.)	“Pentecost is the inauguration of that New Covenant. We know that was when the Spirit came upon the disciples in the form of “cloven tongues” on their heads and they all spoke in languages that the people could hear. That was the inauguration of the New Testament Church.  

114.)	Mr. Clarke writes, “Pentecost was the inauguration of that New Covenant of the climax of the momentous events which happened earlier on Abib 14. It is a profound new beginning, and constitutes the “eighth day” of the Passover.” We are talking in terms that are a little bit complicated, so I’ll give you a separate feast connected to the Pasch Feast by a count of 49 intervening days.

115.)	“Like the fall feast period when there is a seven-day feast period followed by a single High Day, which is not part of the seven; it forms a new beginning.

116.)	Let’s go over that again here. We have Pentecost that acts like an eighth day to the [7] Days of Unleavened Bread, the same way that Shimini Atzeret acts as an eighth day to the [7 days] of the Feast of Tabernacles.

117.)	So get that again, we have Pentecost, if we look at the gestalt, the overview of it, it is like an eighth day to the seven days of Unleavened Bread, and then you have Pentecost, theoretically as an eighth day in type; in type and antitype just like you have the seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles, but then you have a new beginning of Shimini Atzeret. 

118.)	So, Shavout completes the Passover season, Pentecost, Pentecost is what Shavout is, and Shimini Atzeret also is the eighth day in type completes the “plan” of God. Mr. Clarke goes on, “However, unlike the fall harvest represented by the fall feast, in the spring feast there is a delay between events and their culmination, and that just explains the delay for us, that is, in type.

119.)	“The spring feast foreshadows the spring harvest, a smaller harvest than the Great Fall Harvest. The spring harvest is composed only of the bride, which the wave sheaf is a type. The “wave sheaf” is a small bundle of stalks selected out of all Israel.

120.)	So let’s read that again: the “wave sheaf” is a small, “small, small, small,” with very few members of stalks selected out of all Israel composed of what? many individual seeds, “many individual seeds. So they are a small group of members and they are all selected out of many individual seeds, and representing the “bride of Christ.” And they are first set aside and sealed, and it is kept for a later rebirth at His return.

121.)	That ties in so beautifully at what I was saying earlier before I began reading this correspondence from Mr. Clarke, of how we are sealed by the Sabbath Day. And that you can’t have the Sabbath Day on the sixth-day in half the world.

122.)	Going on with what Mr. Clarke said here, Let us read one more time, so we get this. “The spring harvest is composed only of the bride, ‘only, only, only of the bride,’ which the wave sheaf is a type,” writes Mr. Clarke. “The wave sheaf is a “small, small, small” [group of] stalks selected out of all Israel composed of many individual seeds.” 

123.)	Selected out of what? Israel, what is spiritual Israel. Spiritual Israel is all of the Churches of God. And it is a small bundle selected out of all the Churches of God, composed of many individual seeds, representing members of the bride. So I hope that you’ve got that figured out now in terms of set aside and sealed, kept for a later rebirth and Christ’s return.

124.)	     Now what about all the other people that are only half full of oil. “In contrast the fall harvest pictures the great harvest that will be nurtured throughout the glorious millennium kingdom, pictured by the seven days of Succoth and then reborn immediately at the end of the millennium, the fall harvest.

125.)	Let’s move to the future. The date of the marriage of the Lamb when the engagement period is complete, and the bride has made herself ready, not to be confused with the date of His return shadowed by Yom Teruah. Yom Teruah is “blowing of trumpets.”

126.)	Sidebar: What happens at the fall festivals is that you have Yom Teruah, “the blowing of Trumpets,” Yeshua arrives at the seventh trump; then there are ten days before “At-one-ment” happens.

127.)	I believe Yeshua will be conquering all of the nations of the earth: they won’t all submit instantaneously; and, yes, He could wipe them all out as grease spots in one second, but He’s going to be, not negotiating with them, He’s going to be nailing them down during the yen days between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur.

128.)	Bear Note: Yeshua will be installing you as Kings and Priests and Rulers all over this world for ten days, between The Day of Trumpets and Atonement.

129.)	If you had all of the nations under control and set up with new leaders, and yet you could blot them out in one second, yet you don’t want to blot them out in one second. 

130.)	If you had children, let’s say you had 14 children. Can you imagine blotting out 14 children? Can you imagine Yeshua blotting out 14 children? Father isn’t like that. He wishes everyone to come to repentance. So Yeshua wishes everyone would come to repentance. 

131.)	But there are two harvests, and the fall harvest pictures that great harvest that will be nurtured throughout the millennium, pictured by the 7,000th year. Remember, we just read the future. We want to concentrate on the future here. 

132.)	“The date of the marriage of the Lamb,” says Mr. Clarke, “when the engagement period is complete, and the bride has made herself ready, not to be confused by the date of His return foreshadowed by Yom Teruah. The wedding happens fifty days after the  Passover banquet in the brand new Kingdom when Messiah has fulfilled His words of Matthew 26:29 and Mark 14:25.”

133.)	“The leaven spirit of the world produces corruption, and all manner of evil, but the leaven spirit of IAUE produces every good fruit. There are two sources of spirits, two types of leaven, earthly and divine.

134.)	“The leavened bread of Shavout [Pentecost] is contrasted with the unleavened of the Pasch, Passover.” The leavened bread of Pentecost is contrasted with the unleavened of Passover. “For there is a purging process of removing the spirit of the world, and all its pollutions have corrupted the seed. This is a gradual life-long process made possible by the indwelling of the Spirit of truth, first imparted to us on Shavout, cultured throughout our lives, raised up to perfection at the harvest.

135.)	“The end result of the finished product that is not flat and lifeless, but full of IAUE’s Spirit risen high and fit to be the showbread of the Temple. The bread is always before Him, like His bride who follows Him wherever He goes, the finest of the harvest.

136.)	“That doesn’t mean that we are thinking of ourselves as superior to others; it means that Father like any good gardener would take the finest seeds, and it is not our doing, it is the doing of the Father. And He will take the rest of the seeds later.

137.)	“Is the showbread unleavened? Yes. Nowhere is unleavened bread used in connection with the showbread in scriptures. The Torah never connects unleavened with the showbread, but by contrast is always specific about the other grain offerings being unleavened. 

138.)	“The Greek New Covenant specifically refers to the showbread as “artos,” and only artos, regular bread; not “azumos,” unleavened bread. Matthew 12:4; Mark 2:26; Luke 6:4; and Hebrews 9:2. 

139.)	Mr. Clarke concludes, “There is much to learn about this, and after two years of contemplating it, I am still dabbling at the water’s edge. I’m glad you like the Passover time line and it proves the Thursday crucifixion.”      

140.)	We won’t get into all of this, but you know that Yeshua was raised from the dead while it was yet dark. So there you have the distinction of the seeds given by Mr. Clarke. 

141.)	It is important that you realize that any good farmer uses different select seeds, and the point of all this is the wave sheaf is a small bundle of stalks selected out of all Israel, selected our of all the Worldwide Churches of God, out of all the spiritual Israelites there is a small bundle of stalks selected out, composed of many individual seeds that represents the bride of Christ.

142.)	Those of that first part are set aside and sealed. I’m glad that tied in with what I spoke about earlier today; that ties in so perfectly with the sign, and it also ties in with the first fruits being pure and of a special type of seed. 

143.)	So all you listeners out there who didn’t kill all of the best animals, remember Saul and he didn’t kill all of the best animals, so Saul had his crown taken away from him.

144.)	Now if you don’t kill all of the best pagan days, and isn’t it wonderful to have those, and I’m saying this rhetorically, Mother-goddess Day, a tribute to mother on the day of all the gods and goddesses, called the mother of all the gods. Let’s celebrate our mother’s birthday on the day of the mother of all the gods and goddesses. Not. Don’t think so.

145.)	Same goes for Sky Father’s Day. Same thing as Sky Father’s Day where God the Father said that He is the Father who created the heaven and the earth. “Was it not I who created the foundation of the earth

146.)	We have here some prose regarding Sky Father’s Day, which you are supposed to slay, “which you are supposed to slay,” along with Turkey- god Day, the same as Mother-goddess Day. Here is some prose for you on Sky Father and Mother goddess.

147.)	“Oh, our mother the earth, Oh, our father the sky;                                                                             Your children are we, and our tired backs, we bring you the gifts that you love;                                       then weave for us a garment of brightness—                                                                                               may the warmth be the white light of morning;                                                                                  may the weft be the red light of evening.                                                                                                       May the fringes be the falling rain;                                                                                                            may the border be the standing rainbow.                                                                                                  Thus weave for us a garment of brightness                                                                                         that we may walk fittingly where birds sing;                                                                                                that we may walk fittingly where the grass is green.                                                                          Oh, our mother the earth; oh, our father the sky.

148.)	See the deception; you’ve got to kill all of the days, all of the animals. You can’t save the best days, you’ve got to kill them all because they lead to this prose, this misunderstanding that I just read to you. 

149.)	So please you want to be counted worthy, and you want to be part of the select group of stalks and seeds, because 50% of the virgins were locked out. They weren’t full of oil. Oh yes, they had oil in them, they had some practices, but they didn’t have all of the practices, and they were locked out and they didn’t make it to the end.

150.)	Just so you know, they didn’t bring extra oil. So, you better be over extra righteous.

151.)	Bear Note: Extra-righteous because of the ten virgins, five had brought extra oil, extra righteousness with them, “extra, extra, extra.”  

152.)	 And the five that were kicked out, oh, they had oil all right, but they didn’t have any extra oil. You’ve got to be righteous, the righteous have to be spotless. Okay. I wanted to drive that home because these Churches of God just covering it up, they are “just covering it all up.” 

153.)	Now for the people who have just hooked up on the Internet, because our system is back up, we’ve got another sparkler for you here. Yes, we promised you that you would get some sparklers. Here we have a sparkler from Ozelia Welling, and it’s regarding the unicorns. And I’ve been trying to get to this particular part here.

154.)	It starts out with the strong bulls of Bashon. Ozelia Welling writes, “In the third century B.C., Jewish scholars living in Alexandria, Egypt, translated the Hebrew scrolls into Greek (the Septuagint). They found mention of an animal called ‘re’-em’  that at that time was already extinct in the Middle East. No one was sure what kind of animal it was, except that it was large, fierce, and horned. 

155.)	“Those scholars decided to use the Greek term monoceros, which was later Latinized into unicornis by Jerome (one of the early Church fathers).  Rhinocerots is in some Bible margins, a word inserted by some English translators, but the rhinoceros is not native to Palestine. Modern historians have considered the re’-em to be a species of antelope: oryx or leu coryx.

156.)	“However, the Psalmist David helps us to know what type of animal the re’-em is. Writing about 1000 B.C., he tells in Psalm 22 that ‘trouble is near him and there is none to help. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.’

157.)	“In response to David’s pleas for God’s help, he says in verse 21, ‘…for thou has heard (and saved) me from the horns of the reemin.’ Other scriptures support David’s comparison of the wild oxen to the re’-em,” writes Ozelia Welling.

158.)	“Job asks, in Job 39:9-12, ‘Will the re’-em  be willing to serve you, or abide by your crib? Can you bind the re’-em with his hand in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after you?  Will you trust him, because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him? Will you believe him, that he will bring home your seed, and gather it into your barn?’

159.)	“His disposition here is unwillingness to come into the stable to eat at the manger, or to go into the harness of the plough: quite unmanageable.

160.)	“Isaiah also compares the re’-em to the bullocks with the bulls which were sacrificial animals. Check Isaiah 34:6 & 7, writes Ozelia Welling.

161.)	“And Psalms 29:5-6 states, ‘The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; He makes them to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young re’-em.’

162.)	“South of Mt. Hermon on the east side of Lake Galilee is the land of Bashon. Under Moses’ leadership Israelites advanced northward until they encountered King Og and his people –Amorite giants. God delivered these people into the hand of the Israelites by sending hornets to drive them out of their stone houses in their walled cities: Deuteronomy 3:3-8, 13; Joshua 24:12.

163.)	“Manassites inherited the level plain, averaging 2000 feet in elevation, which was covered with volcanic soil of great productivity—especially pasture land and choice wheat. The temperament of the strong bulls of Bashon can be realized by observing the modern wild buffalo, which are known to be dangerous, having a bad temper, and being untamable.

164.)	“Deuteronomy 33:17 says, ‘His (Joseph’s) glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of re’-em (wild oxen) with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh,” Writes Ozelia Welling. 

165.)	This is an explanation of the strong bulls of Bashon, and Deuteronomy 33:17, let’s read it again, says, “His (Joseph’s) glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of re’-em (wild oxen) with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”

166.)	Now I have a chart here, just so you know, Ephraim is the United States, and not Manasseh. One of the easiest, fastest proofs of that, is that Ephraim will destroy all of the other countries, and Manasseh, Australia, has never destroyed all the other countries; neither has Canada, or Denmark or Norway.

167.)	So we have excellent input here from some of our correspondents. And we go by the Bible. Since this was such a terrible storm and five people were killed by trees falling on them, which means I may have to guy-wire some of the trees around here on the hill. Some will surely come down because some are on the edge over the beautiful fire pit.

168.)	I’m looking over at it now. We’ve got about 20 feet wide and 15 feet deep, and it is a bar-be-cue fire pit where you could have the biggest bon fire that is literally the side of a cliff. And yes, we could preach off the top of that cliff on to a group of people down below on the flat spots.

169.)	So this hillside is set up for preaching without any electricity, but we have the generators, and the gas supply. We’ve got all the precautions, and everything that we need.

170.)	Now I want you to know that we The Obedient Church of God are being led by God, and we are being protected by God. And we can say that because we humbly, “humbly, humbly” are the only church that is capable of true love. And true love is obedience. The love of God is to keep the commandments. 

171.)	So you want to know that the Obedient Church of God is the barley harvest, the grain that will be set aside, has been set aside by Father, and it isn’t once saved, always saved; you can still fall off the wagon and it has to be burned up in hell because God will not have Christ’s sacrifice given twice.

172.)	 You are not going to crucify Christ twice, so once you make your vows at baptism, all you new listeners out there that want to be baptized, once you make your vows at baptism, you know what you are getting into because we have explained it to you. That’s it. You don’t want to be turned into ashes forever.

173.)	   You get baptized by The Obedient Church of God, that’s it for you. That’s your time. And regarding ashes, yes, Satan will return to ashes; the molecular structure of Satan will be turned to ashes. And if you go to Ezekiel 28:18-19, Satan has become ashes from within. He has become ashes from within because he has so corrupted himself. 

174.)	Satan has corrupted himself from within. Now read that through, you “read that through,” because therefore you can actually see how Satan is corrupted, and how he will be destroyed via ashes from within. 

175.)	We don’t want to dwell on that, but we want to wake you up because God doesn’t mess around. He has got a plan, and His plan involves destroying Satan and destroying all the ungodly disobedient also.

176.)	 So, unfortunately, there will be members in the other Churches of God that will not be in the Kingdom of God and will have to be destroyed because they just won’t repent. They refuse to repent. We’re sorry that that has to happen.

177.)	You have got to realize there are harvests, and like a good farmer, God will only take good seed to be planted. He will refuse to plant tares. And you as a Christian, should want to love God, you should want to obey His commandments, should want to be obedient to Father. It only makes good sense to want to.

178.)	Because if it is just phony and you do things because you have to, then again you are in big trouble. Yes, you again are in big trouble. So we’re here to help you, not to bash you, but to help point the way, “to help point the way” to truth and love and have you take the correct steps. 

179.)	Read Job 38.

180.)	Remember I said at the start of this broadcast that a good pastor leads the sheep to good pasture. That’s why he is called a pastor. Now you are called “the children of God” because you are His sheep, “you are His sheep.” 

181.)	Watch out for any other ministers that are trying to climb up another way, outside of the way that is outlined by the words of the Bible, which The Obedient Church of God is espousing and only those words.

182.)	And yes, you ultimately you have got to also have it by grace through faith that you are saved, because even if we were perfect, which we are not, who would forgive us of our past sins before we can into The Obedient Church of God? Who would forgive us of our past sins? We would have to pay our own death penalty for our past sins.

183.)	So yes, just so you know, The Obedient Church of God relies on grace through faith by which we are saved. We rely on the mercy of God. There is no other way, because all of our wonderful works are still filthy rags. 

184.)	Bear Note: Regarding the Mercy Seat, to prove that The Obedient Church of God is just one of the many groups who know what we really are talking about: the Mercy Seat is of pure gold, the Mercy Seat on the Ark of the Covenant was made out of pure, “pure, pure” gold. All of the pieces of the Ark of the Covenant had wood underneath, underneath the gold. What does that mean? “What does that mean?” 

185.)	 It means that only the Mercy Seat is the pure gold, is the pure way. All the rest is wood and stubble, and will be burned up.

186.)	Bear Note: (Rediscovered truth): the Ark is covered in gold plate, that’s wood and stubble that could be burned up, but the Mercy Seat is of pure, “pure” gold, that is  indestructible, “indestructible.

187.)	Well, if you are going to be used by God, you’ve got to have the attitude that grace through faith saves you, and that you do the works, the obedience because you love God. And you can’t fool God by doing it out of rote, you can’t just do it out of rote because you are trying to fool God. God can read your mind so you can’t fool him. There isn’t any way to fool him. But let’s go on to your attitude.

188.)	Bear Note: Attitude determines altitude, “attitude determines altitude.” Attitude will determine your altitude in position. Attitude like Paul is a conscious choice, “a conscious choice,” a conscious response.

189.)	Philippians 4:4, “Philippians 4:4.” I just want you to get to the point that it is attitude, “attitude, attitude, attitude,” that determines your altitude. So it is not just a question of you being obedient, even if you are in The Obedient Church of God. You have got to have the attitude of wanting to be obedient, “of wanting to be obedient.” Know that it is the best was to live. 

190.)	You can’t fool God. We can give you all the spiritual information, but if you are just following it to save your skin, you are still not going  to be in the Kingdom because God doesn’t want phonies. And if you don’t have that love of the truth, you pray for a love of the truth then.

191.)	One of the things to understand Father, God, is He knows who is really with Him. And if He has some kind of “yes man,” that is just doing it to be some kind of “yes man” to defend his own position, and to try to duct the tribulation, you are not going to fool Him. And that is going to hurt Father. It is going to hurt Father because He has a vengeance.

192.)	Father has emotions.  We know that Yeshua wept. Well, Father weeps too. I tell you Father weeps too.   He’s been weeping for 6,000 years. That’s a long time. Now He is finally getting His barley harvest, and He is pretty excited about it. And He is getting His stalks that we read about of the first fruit. He has emotions.

193.)	He is going to take His best seed and use it. As the best seed you will be able to help others understand also.

194.)	Now in the summation of The Obedient Church of God, like I said if I was the only one in a big storm that hit the world, I would still do the broadcast. I can guarantee you that. If there was a storm or a cataclysm that was hitting the world on the Sabbath Day, I would still be doing the broadcast. I’m still going to be having services, even by myself, if that is the case.

195.)	 And you also. If you are in the “birth pangs” here, before the Great Tribulation starts, and it will start in 2016, maybe March 20th, but I’m not going to get into all that. But those “birth pangs,” when they start, you, if you cannot tune into The Obedient Church of God, have to have a service all by yourself, complete with hymns.

196.)	 And if you are in great dire straits, like us today, have an extra hymn. Wasn’t that wonderful? So that you are not worried, and you are going to show Father just like Paul and Barnabas, they sang in the prison. They weren’t afraid of anyone. They weren’t afraid of anything. They carried on. 

197.)	So we carry on, no matter what happens. And the broadcast and phone lines did pick up and we got it on. So in faith our prayers were answered. It was pretty hard that the phone lines would work, and that the Internet would work. I guess Father wanted to test me, test us to see what we would feel like when we had to do the service on just the cell phone. Maybe He wanted to see if we would really do that? 

198.)	 So, right on your Internet site, it says, we know how to pilot God’s ship correctly. We humbly say that. And God is our God, obviously, and nothing is going to spoil that. We don’t let outward situations around us that we have to go through, spoil that relationship in any way, shape or form. 

199.)	So we are the only ones protecting you. If you look at the facts, we are the only Church of God that is protecting you. It’s true. It’s the facts: we’re the only ones telling you that you can’t have the Sabbath Day on the sixth-day in half the world.

200.)	Figure out. Understand that God is doing the Romans 9:28 work right now. Right now you are seeing it. And it is going to be a small harvest. It is not going to be a big harvest. And the times and getting rougher and rougher. You can almost see the war drums beating.

201.)	Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State for the United States Government says that Putin has no soul; he is an ex-KGB agent. Why would you insult the leader of the strongest nation in the world who has nuclear bombs? Why would you insult a person who has got a big stick over your head, a big club over your head? 

202.)	And what did Putin say back? How can you have a head of State, referring to Clinton, without a head? How can you have a head of State who doesn’t have a head? Who doesn’t have any common sense?

203.)	We are in the “birth pangs” and Russia can knock out the United States. And watch out. Rediscovered truth. Even if Russia couldn’t knock out the United States, God forbid, we don’t want the United States to be knocked out, but it is written in prophecy that the script is already written.

204.)	Bear Note: Even if Russia couldn’t, God says that it will happen. So remember the battles of the Old Testament where nations were much stronger, remember the giants were much stronger than the Israelites, still, “still” the Israelites overcame them.  

205.)	 Now when God said that Ephraim was going to be destroyed for a multitude of sins and for bringing sin all over the world and all the pornography and everything else that has been brought to the world, it’s going to happen. It is going to be fulfilled.

206.)	So I don’t want anyone to get off on a tangent that the Soviet Union cannot destroy the United States; even if it couldn’t, God would see to it that it did, because God says we are going to be going into captivity, and that only 1/10th is going to be left.

207.)	And you can thank your “banksters” and your own sins for destroying God’s way, and the time frame is narrowing. Iran has enough material for a bomb in four months, within just four months. But there are all these suitcase bombs that are also around, so you don’t have to worry just about Iran, because there are suitcase bombs.

208.)	So that’s the timeframe that we are in, and it’s very “very” short, and as Christians we want to help and save others. So that’s important also. So, therefore, if you want to save others, and help others, first you’ve got to learn. You, “you, you” have got to learn to do right also.

209.)	You heard that little static there. I love multi-tasking; it’s so much fun to do two or three at once. 

210.)	The point of all this is that the U.S.A. is going to be going into captivity: thank you to the “banksters” who are bringing us into poverty, and making the whole world made at us. There shouldn’t be any usury in the first place, and it’s sad that all the pension funds lost all of their money. This is all Satanic.

211.)	    It’s all Masonic, and yes, if you start looking it up, you’ll find it is provable that it is Satanic. It’s provable. So, we’re dealing with forces here that will, “will, will” be at war: the principalities, the different princes—princes of Persia, Iran. Watch out for when that Prince of Persia gets rolling. That Prince of Persia has rolled over nations in the past. And we don’t want this to happen to the United States.

212.)	Another one of our correspondents, Melodie Pettyjohn, had referred to prayer in trying to get an answer from God as to how she should observe July 4th. And Father did give her the right answer. The answer that she got from Father was that she shouldn’t be participating in the July 4th celebration. Now why is that?

213.)	Answer from The Obedient Church of God. Melodie Pettyjohn is correct. The answer is: Ambassadors do not march in other countries’ parades, and whether you like it or not, you cannot march in another country’s parade because you are an ambassador. 

214.)	On these two computers here I’m multitasking because I wanted to bring up a song for you to lighten up the broadcast. I’m just going to show you our notes for today.  Our notes for today are about ten inches high, and I’ve got them in front of me and they must weigh twenty pounds for sure.

215.)	The reason why I’m showing you that is because in all of our sermons, we wait and ask and pray to Father to lead us to know what to say, and it just works out just perfectly. Just like today, it worked out with me talking about the signs, and then Mr. Clarke’s article just popping up out of this file regarding the grains that are separate, that are special of the wave sheaf, “of the wave sheaf,” and that tied in just perfectly with what I had been speaking earlier.

216.)	So now you know that today is a wonderful day for The Obedient Church of God for all of you listeners out there, because we learned today that no matter what the adversity, you’ll be like Paul and Barnabas, and you’ll be singing in prison, you’ll be singing songs.

217.)	 And on the Sabbath Day, if the whole world goes down with horrendous storms that killed five people when trees came down and hit them, and by the creek just down the road from us a man was hit by a tree limb and killed, and we are sorry that happened, but the hill was protected. Not one tree lost a limb let alone a tree come down. Yet all around us the trees are down. 

218.)	Because of tree limbs you couldn’t go down Lover’s Lane, the road was blocked by fallen trees, and we’re on Lover’s Lane. And Lover’s Lane is only 700 numbers long, and we are at 421. So a man was killed by a fallen tree at the low number of the lane, like number 1, and the tree that blocked off the road at Lover’s Lane was at about 700 Lover’s Lane, and we are at 421. Not a hair of our head was hurt. 

219.)	Did we ever hear that wind! “Did we ever hear that wind!”

220.)	Okay. We’re going to try to bring up a song for you here in terms of something that you will find will tie in with the sermon. Have you ever sung the song, “Coming around the Mountain?” I’m sure you have. “She’ll be coming around the mountain when she comes…” 

221.)	That song just seemed like a fun song to sing at a picnic or a campout or a sing along in the old days around a campfire, but what does the song mean? “What does the song mean?” I’m trying to bring it up on the computer, but somehow the lines are still wounded, and it is not going onto U-tube to bring up the song. 
 
222.)	 I’ll tell you about the song in any event to round off this sermon because we are out of time again, and sign off on a happy note, “on a happy note.”

223.)	We are talking about “Coming Around the Mountain.”  Who do you think that refers to? Which mountain? Well, let’s tell you. “She’ll be coming around the mountain, the Mount of Olives, “the Mount of Olives.” “She’ll be coming around the Mount of Olives when she comes.” Then we’ll be coming around the Mount of Olives when He comes. 

224.)	And He’ll be riding a white horse when He comes. The song says, “He’ll be riding six white horses when He comes, so He might come in type with a white horse, but that’s what the song says.

225.)	And who is going to meet Him when He comes? We are going to meet Him in the air. So that’s what “coming around the mountain means.”

226.)	You’ve been singing this all your life and it hasn’t twigged on us that is means that Yeshua is coming around the mountain when He comes. “And He’ll be coming around the mountain when He comes. He’ll be coming around the mountain when He comes. He’ll be coming around the mountain, He’ll be coming around the mountain, He’ll be coming around the mountain when He comes.”

227.)	Get the picture? So all these years, you’ve been singing that song and it’s a happy song, and it is actually a song about Yeshua. And we first fruits, we barley seeds, we wave sheaves, we Pentecost loaves, we are going to be the ones that are coming around the mountain, just as sure as Yeshua is coming around the mountain when He comes.

228.)	And we’ll all come up to meet Him when He comes. “We’ll all come up to meet Him when He comes, Yes, we’ll all come up to meet Him , we’ll all come up to meet Him, we’ll all come up to meet Him when He comes.” All right. I hope that cheers us up.  

229.)	I’ll play that for you next week with more information and more rediscovered truth, and a balanced and happy sermon of reproof and also of joy. We’re totally out of time now.

230.)	Let’s take our 1934 Hymnals and sing one more hymn, “one more hymn.” Sing praise to our Father with Yeshua at His right hand side on this Sabbath Day when nothing can stop us, God willing. Remember when there is a broadcast [on the Sabbath] and you can’t get into it, you have your own service, you sing your own hymns.    

231.)	So please all rise, turn to page number 2, “Come Thou Almighty King,” page 115 in other hymnals. Amen to that. Come Thou Yeshua Our King and High Priest, and Father comes down a thousand years later, 1100 years later. 

232.)	So all please remain standing, and bow our heads, face the North Heavens where Father and Yeshua are: “Almighty Father with Yeshua at your right hand side, we love you so much, we want to praise you. We want to be like you. We want to learn more of your ways.

233.)	“Please keep on strengthening and teaching The Obedient Church of God so that we can teach others to be more like you. Help us to enjoy life even in the face of adversities, and storms because our only hope is in you Father. 

234.)	“And anything that happens around us, though it may be painful, it is not a disaster because our hope and faith is in the resurrection and in meeting you in the air, and having a life with you throughout eternity. 

235.)	“So no matter what the disaster, no matter what the “birth pangs,” no matter what the tribulation, we vow to follow your ways every day of our lives so that we can represent you truly as your ambassadors in this world and in the world to come.

236.)	“So now Father we ask your dismissal, and we thank you for your protection on your holy hill and everything wasn’t destroyed as whole camp grounds were destroyed, boating marinas destroyed and seventy boats washed up everywhere onto the land just five miles away from us at Cade’s Cove. Thank you for protecting The Obedient Church of God.

237.)	“So now we ask you to protect us during the coming week. Protect us from the authorities, keep the authorities away from us so that there are no problems or Satan’s manifestations, but our hope is in you.

238.)	“Thank you for this broadcast today, thank you for the time we shared with you  Father and Yeshua, and we look forward to seeing you next week, and indeed, to be with you all week long. We ask this all in Yeshua’s holy righteous name, our soon arriving King. Amen.”
