The Obedient Church of God
March 12, 2011-6th Adar I I
Sermon by Lawrence A. Nowell
1.	 On February 2, 2011, The Obedient Church of God predicted that President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt would leave his office on February 11th, and that the world would be changed. But Mubarak himself said he would stay in office and the world’s media expected he would continue until the fall elections in Egypt. He did appoint a temporary Vice President, Omar Suleiman.
2.	Mubarak had been the leader of Egypt for 30 years and he has had a Peace Treaty with Israel throughout those years.
3.	Egypt along with Jordan, were the only Arab countries to have ambassadors to Israel, thus acknowledging Israel as an official country.
4.	Even on the 29th of January 2011 The Obedient Church of God predicted that on February 11th that Egypt would have a new leader. Mubarak did, indeed, leave office.
5.	Today The Obedient Church of God will give us understanding of Bible prophecy. As of February 2nd it was teotuwawk, “the end of the world as we know it.” 
6.	 As of now we are still in the “birth pangs,” but this is the dreaded day when the good times of prosperity, freedom, and stability, and security that we enjoy are over. 
7.	This present generation has never seen a great depression, a holocaust, or world war. But there is evil out there and the dangers have multiplied in the world since the Great Depression of the 1930s, and history will repeat itself.
8.	The Bible will tell us what is going to happen and when it’s going to happen and, indeed, how to escape all these things as a Christian.
9.	We can’t be ignoring the signs of the times—“the handwriting is on the wall.”
10.	Studying the Bible takes more than just having the knowledge of how to read. There is actually a “prophetic map” that is found in the Bible, and it must be understood in order to properly interpret the Bible prophecies to know what’s happening.
11.	Now 1/3 of the Bible is prophecy and that prophecy is generally unfulfilled, and it is due to play out, to happen, in this generation of 2011 to 2018.
12.	People have no idea of when the Bible prophecies are going to be happening, but TOCOG is here to help people understand them.
13.	The Bible does lay out a detailed time line. And the good times we have enjoyed are abruptly ending. And we need to know what to do and where to be to survive.
14.	And we’ll be able to know specific years, specific months, and specific weeks when these problems, these disasters, will happen. 
15.	These are the most dangerous times ever, but people just don’t realize it. They just go blindly along without God, without following every jot and tittle of the Scriptures.
16.	When they least expect it, these threats will come upon people when they come to fruition. Now this is serious.
17.	Japan has been struck with an earthquake, 9.0 on the Richter scale; it occurred under the ocean. This most powerful ever earthquake unleashed a devastating tsunami.
18.	In one town there are 9500 people missing after a 30 foot wall of ocean water swept inland across the rice fields, engulfing entire towns six or more miles inland. The tsunami dragged houses along with it, tossed cars and boats like toys. 
       The northeastern part of Japan has been devastated.
19.	Two nuclear reactor plants have since exploded and a third one may also explode!
20.	One GPS station in Japan moved 8 feet. The pattern of the shift over a large area is consistent with a shift in a land mass; the whole island of Japan moved 8 feet! 
20.There have been more than one hundred sixty aftershocks measuring 5.0 magnitude.
21.	The quake is the most powerful to hit the island in recorded history.  And the tsunami unleashed traveled across the Pacific Ocean and tsunami alerts are in fifty countries, including the USA and Chili.                   
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    It isn’t safe to live on the coast of any country. It would be wise to move to above 700 feet elevation.
22.	And the earth has been shifted on its axis by nearly 4 inches all at once on March 11th,  2011, stated the National Institute of geophysics and volcanology. This can’t be good! 
23.	We are in the end times, but we aren’t in the seven-year tribulation yet. Men’s hearts will fail them during the great tribulation!
People are getting nervous now, but the end is NOT yet.
24.	Japan is located in the Pacific in what is known as “the ring of fire,” an area of earth- quake and volcanic activity. It stretches all the way from New Zealand up the Pacific up to Japan and parts of Alaska and down the west coast of North and South America.
25.	Japan’s recent quake was hundreds of times larger than the one that ravaged Haiti.
26.	In 2004 the Indonesian earthquake killed 200,000 people in the Indian Ocean.
27.	These are the “birth pangs” of the end days.
28.	TOCOG has lots of information to give to unlock keys of Bible Prophecy. Learn to follow Bible Prophecy, which was meant to be understood. Treat the Book of Revelation as being literal, not figurative, which can have many different interpretations.
When Revelation is looked at literally, you can’t go wrong, and you’ll be able to understand it that way.
Use a literal method to read Revelation so you can shake off the negative influence of all those ministers who are twisting scriptures backwards and forwards.
29.	Some ministers are saying we are already in the tribulation, but this is not so.
The tribulation hasn’t begun. We are in he “birth pangs,” and we know this because Revelation is a literal book.  This book says specifically what events will happen and what order they will happen in.
30.	And there is an outline of events. There’s a chapter in the Torah, the first five books of the Bible that lays out an outline of events that’s kept in the Book of Revelation. And that gives a fine plain meaning to the mysterious symbols of seals, trumpets, and bowls.
31.	We can identify which day of the year the unfulfilled events will happen on. You will identify which year and even the day when remaining unfulfilled events happen on. And that’s through the hidden instructions in the Bible.
32.	There is a “death star” visiting the earth causing global disasters and the star “worm- wood” is the focus of the third trumpet in Revelation 8.
33.	We can identify which day of the year the unfulfilled events will happen on. You will identity which year and even the day when remaining unfulfilled events happen on. And that’s through the hidden instructions in the Bible.
34.	One of the things we can identify is “wormwood;” it fits in perfectly with planet X that’s coming. And realize there is “wormwood” in the Bible.
35.	There is a “death star” visiting the earth causing global disasters and the star “worm- wood” is the focus of the third trumpet in Revelation 8.
36.	Those who celebrate the Day Trumpets must realize there are seven trumpets and Christ arrives on the last one. 
37.	Our interpretations of the scriptures cannot contradict them. Every idea has to be                                                                                                                                                                                   checked against scripture and then it will make sense, and those who obediently follow the bible can predict things. And inspiration from God helps understanding.
38.	Psalms 82:6-7 “I have said, you are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High. But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.”
39.	We are to be emulating our Father because we are His children—we can understand Revelation because we are children of the Most High God.
40.	What can we do but follow every jot and tittle of the Bible and those who hate us have lifted up their head.
41.	Psalm 83:2 “For your enemies make a tumult: and they who hate you have lifted up the head.” Verses 3-4 they have taken crafty counsel against you and cut you off from their church group.
But we pray out to God. Don’t hold your peace, do not be still.
42.	On the world tomorrow.org internet is a sidebar. Go to the caption, 
“It’s Worse Than You Think” to see who is running this world.
43.	A video shows presidents of the countries of the world all giving the devil’s salute, a “two-fingered goat salute.
You can see President Obama   giving the devil’s “two-fingered goat salute,” Michelle Obama doing it, George and Laura Bush doing it, Nicolas Sarkozy of France doing it. 
44.	Why did Obama name one of his daughters Natasha when it spells “Satan” backwards?
45.	Why hasn’t President Obama stopped Gadhafi from killing so many people in Libya? Because Gadhafi is a 33 degree Mason while Obama is only a 32 degree Mason! 
Hillary Clinton is a co-Mason and Bill Clinton is a Mason. They aren’t going into Libya to stop a 33 degree Mason because the god of this world, Satan, is the one that the 33 degree Masons have pledged allegiance to. They are Satan’s children.
Obama and Hillary Clinton should go into Libya and stop Gadhafi from slaughtering all his people—thousands are dead. Because Gadhafi is a 33 degree Mason!
46.	The Obedient Church of God people are the only ones telling others this information.
47.	This week Lawrence Nowell remembered two heroes : Roy Rogers and Gene Autry on television for children’s shows.
Looking at these men there isn’t anything physically prominent about them and their faces are plain-looking. But these actors are both 33 degree Masons.
Executives from the God of the world set them up.
48.	Leaders of this world have been set up over Satan’s system because they are Masons. 
World leaders who are Masons include Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu, Shimon Perez, and Prince Juan Carlos who is head of the United Nations.
Television show hosts Jay Leno of the Tonight’s Show, Larry King, and Johnny Carson are Masons. Also Cohen O’Brien is a Mason.
49.	The Obedient Church of God doesn’t follow any of the ways or days of Satan’s System.
50.	The Day of Trumpets can be prophesied exactly for the return Christ. 
51.	In regard to Christ’s return, certain ministers insist that no one can know the day or the hour.  Why? We can know the week and the month, but not the day nor the hour.
52.	Matthew 24 tells the time frame that we are in, and when the time comes for Christ to return TOCOG will be announcing when. 
53.	Learn the significance of Jesus saying, “No one can know the day or the hour of His return. No one knows but the Father in Heaven.” Matthew 24:36
54.	The reason no one knows is because the crescent moon for that night hasn’t been sighted yet. Why is knowing the day and hour special of Christ’s return?
55.	BN Only the Day of Trumpets of God’s feast days occurs on the first day of the Biblical lunar month.
If that Day of Trumpets came in the middle of the month, the crescent moon would already have been sighted and people would then know the day and the hour. But the feast of trumpets is an unknown day because it comes on the first day of the seventh month and nothing has been sighted as yet.
56.	Everyone will know when Jesus arrives –there won’t be a secret rapture! 
57.	When Christ returns to earth he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Matthew 24:31 
58.	Magi knew when Christ was born so they brought gifts to the king.
We can know the week of Christ’s returning. 
59.	From the daily sacrifices we can start counting 3 ½ years and count the 1260days, the 1290 and 1335 days, so we can understand the days.
60.	The “elect” are going to be gathered. Is it going to be a rapture that nobody knows? No! Because there is a great sound of a trumpet and angels will gather Christ’s elect from the four winds. 
61.	Providing the new crescent moon is seen in Jerusalem on the evening of April 4th , Passover is coming up on April 18, which is Aviv 14th , when we take our Passover elements, the bread and wine Kiddush. And that evening we have a foot-washing ceremony as Christ instructed us to do at his last supper with his disciples.
62.	The evening and daylight portion of April 19th is the first day of the days of un- leavened bread to be observed for seven days.  A full moon will be seen in the sky.
63.	A dinner will have been prepared. There will be unleavened bread eaten on the evening of April 18th along with lamb that is roasted with the shank bone, and bitter herbs.
64.	Prophecies to be fulfilled in these “end times.”
There will be global hurricane winds, oil shortages, a nuclear winter, famines worldwide, fresh water shortages, there’s going to be an evil dictator, there will be a mountain-size asteroid hitting the ocean. 
65.	There are ministers who will tell people that we are not having things restored now because Christ will restore all things when He returns. No! No! No!
66.	TOCOG  says the Bible states that Elijah will restore all things before the day of the Lord.  
Malachi four: “Behold! I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord !
And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers.” Elijah will restore all things.
67.	Elijah means “Jehovah is God,” To honor God, he overthrew Baalism on Mt. Carmel. He later learned that the Lord is in “a still small voice,” and the Lord had seven thousand believers in Israel who had not bowed their knees to Baal.
Elijah comes first to restore all things, including the International Date Line .
68.	Jesus told his disciples: “Elijah truly shall first come and restore all things.” Matthew 17:11.  NRSV  “He replied, ‘Elijah is indeed coming and will restore all things.’ ”
It’s not just Yeshua coming. It’s Elijah who comes to prepare the Way before Yeshua’s arrival, and he restores all things.
69.	Some ministers today refuse to restore anything. Well, one has restored some things, but refuses to restore the proper Date Line. 
70.	In commentaries of the Bible, there’s no fanciful restoration.
The Septuagint wrote, “And, behold I will send to you Elias, the Tishbite, before the great and glorious day of the Lord.” 
71.	The introductory song to the sermons on TOCOG Saturday live internet streaming, has the words, “How you broke God’s heart.” The “heart” is involved, and TOCOG will be turning the heart of the Father to the children, and telling the way that you do that—is by getting the children to obey God.
When the children are obedient to the Father, the Father is happy with the children and the heart of the Father turns to the children because the children are obedient.
72.	They are obeying the Father’s Date Line in Australia and areas west of the International Date Line, and not keeping the Sabbath on the wrong day.
73.	The children’s hearts are turned to the Father also because they want to be obedient and practice God’s ways and be part of the family and be in harmony by following every jot and tittle.
74.	In Ireland Irish Catholics are fighting Irish Protestants, and the Protestant denominations are squabbling among each other. Churches of God differ among themselves.
75.	When they follow every jot and tittle of the scriptures, then the children’s hearts are turned toward the Father and the heart of the Father is turned toward the children, then the Father is happy because the children are finally being obedient.
76.	 Rebellious children stretch their parent’s patience. Can you imagine rebellious children having different holy days at different times? Total chaos! 
 That’s why it says in Isaiah 1:14 “Your new moons, your feasts, my soul hates.” 
 77. What has been accomplished so far by The Obedient Church of Gog? 
78. (l. We do not celebrate a Ra-Osiris Turkey Day, which adds an extra day to the Feast of Tabernacles. This wrecks God’s plan for mankind. The plan of seven thousand years is complete without an extra day being added, which is adding an extra thousand years to God’s plan.
 79.  (2. There are two groups of 144,000, one group in Revelation 7 and one group in Revelation 14. One group is made up of all Israelites and the other group come out of all nations (the redeemed from among men).
 80. (3. On Pentecost when the priest waves the two loaves, those two loaves represent the two groups of first fruits.  The fruits are the 144,000—two separate groups represented by the two loaves.
81.  (4. No hiring of restaurant workers on God’s Sabbath, a day of no commerce. We should be telling restaurant workers not to be working on God’s Sabbath day of rest.
 All of the Churches of God go to restaurants on the Sabbath after their services.
82.  People can have a beautiful meal on the Sabbath at home or in a motel room by cooking or buying it on the preparation day before the Sabbath. It keeps in a refrigerator until it is to be eaten and enjoyed. Or buy non-perishable foods.
 TOCOG is reinstating the Preparation Day.
 83. (5.  The Date Line. One minister said he isn’t going to restore all things. That knocks him out as being Elijah because we read in a scripture that Elijah will restore all things.
 People living west of the International Date Line cannot jump the Sabbath Day ahead in New Zealand, Australia, Philippines, China and all of Asia.
 The Obedient Church of God is restoring all things.
84.  (6. The blood sweat out on the Mount of Olives consecrated the Mount of Olives for Yeshua’s return.
 85. (7. The first day of the Hebrew year can never be before March 20th or else the grapes wouldn’t be ripe for the feast of ingathering.
There will be certain years that if the calendar date is jumped ahead by an extra month, the grapes wouldn’t be ripe for the Feast of Tabernacles.
How can you have a feast of ingathering if the grapes aren’t ripe for harvesting? Therefore, the new Hebrew year cannot begin before March 20th.
86.  (8. The “flying scroll” is a rocket carrying a rocket of nuclear devastation.
87. (9. Gold was given to Jesus at his birth because he was a king. Frankincense was given to Jesus to heal the nations, and Myrrh was for his crucifixion and burial.
88. (10. All of the important world leaders are the Masonic Order. That’s who is going to cut off your head, the ones to watch out for. All of those who have done the goat-hand salute includes most of the world leaders today of the Masonic Orders.
89. The first Elijah who came to prepare the way before Jesus was John the Baptist. When he was asked if he was Elijah, he denied that he was Elijah.
In John 1:21-23 “They asked him, ‘Are you Elijah?’ and he said, ‘I am not.’ ‘Are you that prophet?’ And he answered, ‘No.’
“Then they said to him, who are you? That we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
90. “John said, ‘I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Elias.   (He ‘made things straight’ by restoring all things.)
Isaiah 40:3 states, “The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” 
91. John was in the Spirit and power of Elijah.
92. Lawrence Nowell is also denying that he is the Elijah of these “end times.”
Lawrence is not saying he is Elijah, but he is saying that he is restoring all things.
       93. We have named some of the things we have restored. 
94. And one of the important ones is to get everyone on base to celebrate the Sabbath Day properly. We do not hire restaurant workers on the Sabbath Day, a day of rest.
95. Regarding the International Date Line, people observe the seventh-day on the sixth- day and work on the seventh day.  People must not be willing to work on the Sabbath Day because the day has been jumped ahead a day.
96. The Sabbath is one of the test commandments, and Rabbis who tell people who live west of the IDL that it is okay to keep the Sabbath on the sixth day are wrong! WRONG! 
97. TOCOG does not have a Ra-Osiris Turkey Day with the turkey giving up its life for its young and being praised and venerated by all the nations, including the native Pawnee Indians of America who sacrificed a virgin on their Turkey Day—their harvest home festival.
98. In the United Kingdom people made “Kern babies” for the Thanksgiving pagan holiday, a one-Turkey Day.
99. We are not to learn the ways of the gentiles, but we are to teach them about the feast of tabernacles, a seven day feast.
100. We are known by our fruits. Elijah is living today, but it has not been revealed to the world. 
101. How will we recognize Elijah? How do we know?
102. Find someone who is preaching the International Date Line has to be at Jerusalem.
103. Find someone who is preaching among all the Worldwide Churches of God that on the Sabbath they should not go to restaurants and buy food for a meal.
104. Find someone who is preaching that on Pentecost the two loaves are the two groups of 144,000that are waved, and that there are two groups of 144,000.
105. And that Christ sweated out blood on the Mount of Olives and consecrated the Mount of Olives.
106.  That the world leaders are of the Masonic Order, being agents of Satan the Devil.
107. Who else has told you that the world changed on February 11, 2011, and this was predicted on February 2nd, 2011. And on January 29th we were told that Mubarak would be gone, and this was part of the prophecy of February 2nd?
There is a whole new world coming down through the Middle East!
108. On March 11th TOCOG had stated that something significant would happen, but details were not mentioned. However, a terrific earthquake of 9.0 came off the coast of Japan followed by a huge tsunami!.
109. Lawrence has to get closer to God so he can understand more that He tells him. The more Lawrence understands, the more we can understand. 
110. We’ve got to know more about timing and the circumstances and the only way to do that is through obedience in order to get discernment. And Father has plans for all of us in The Obedient Church of God; it’s going to be a very special group to be used by Him.
111.  God is prospering TOCOG and Lawrence thinks things are going to be working out.
112. Have your peace because you will never be disappointed or misled by The Obedient Church of God. Lawrence will be very cautious about what he preaches and we only preach to the ones Yah sends us. And the rest is just a witness work.
113. The Obedient Church of God is still a small group of about l00 people plus the children makes about 150.
114. Put on your armor because everything in the world is wrecked. Nothing works properly in the world.
115. There is free energy and there has always been free energy because the world is one big magnet. We just pull electrical energy out of the earth revolving round the sun. The knowledge of how to tap this energy was understood by Nikola Tesla.
116. The Obedient Church of God is preaching to destroy all false claims of the ministers that say nothing can be restored until Christ comes back and TOCOG will prove to people that Yeshua has said in his Holy Word Elijah will restore all things before the Day of the Lord.
117. Again, there is no jumping the crescent moon ahead a day. There’s a price to pay for disobedience throughout the world.
118. And you are not to oppose Deuteronomy 12:32 where we are not to add one jot or tittle to God’s Word.
119.  Don’t let your minister scare you if you are with another denomination and are hearing this for the first time. As TOCOG talks about all this, we are preaching LOVE.
120. Love is the missing equation of a lot of ministers. How can the minister turn the hearts of the children to the Father if he can’t even turn the heart of the congregation to himself? It is because he is bashing and trashing his members, and turning the hearts of his members away from himself.
121. Daniel 11:32 People that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many.
122. So what minister has the audacity to say God’s people shouldn’t do great exploits. (That is, carry out remarkable acts for brilliance.)
123. And those who understand, shall instruct many. We don’t wait until Christ comes back to restore all things.
124. Without determining who Elijah-Elisha is, it says in Daniel that the people who know their God shall carry out great exploits. 
125. What could be greater than telling the world the Sabbath is on the wrong day? And to tell all the Orthodox Rabbis to stop sinning and count on their fingers up to seven to know when the seventh day is west of the International Date Line.
126. All those rabbis have to humble themselves. You’ve got to humble yourself under the mighty hand of God. And once you humble yourself, you don’t even notice it happening to you.
127. Those of the people who understand shall instruct many. And we’re being refined when we do that.
128. We’ll have to give our lives, but we have to stop whining when we get our heads chopped off. No big deal! Later on we are going to get a better body, and even get a better head and that couldn’t be wrong. 
129. With a stronger head we’ll have more thought processes, and a head that is more powerful than the wonderful angels. We will even rule angels.
130. With a better brain, we’ll have greater intelligence, greater intellect, a greater I. Q. Look forward to having your head cut off because we are going to get a better head? So stop your whining. You will be used in the millennium.
131. Therefore, no one can scare you No one can worry you. 
132. And also, there will be a place of safety for some of us to witness to Christ’s arrival. Those in a place of safety will see His arrival on earth.
133. B.N. Pre-millennialism is the belief that the 1000 years of the Kingdom of God starts at Christ’s arrival, that Christy starts setting up His Kingdom when He arrives.
134. Post-millennialism is a belief that Christ starts setting up His Kingdom after the 1000 years. 
135. A-millennialism is not believing either one. This what the Catholics believe, that the millennium began in the year 1000 A. D.
136. God is doing a “sifting process”. You want to obey every jot and tittle so you can be one of the ones who God can use through His sifting. It takes strength and courage to make the right decisions.
137. God wants people who will observe His Sabbath Days. He wants people who won’t go to the restaurants on the Sabbath, a day of no commercialism. He wants people who won’t hire restaurant workers for any reason, who have no excuse for disobeying.
138. God wants people who will say, “It’s wrong to observe the seventh- day Sabbath on the sixth- day on the west side of the International Date Line in half the world. To jump the days of the week ahead 24 hours is wrong!
139. The Obedient Church of God is the only Church that is preaching the ten points that are errors in the churches of God. 
140. Matthew 24:5 says, “Many shall be deceived by the many who come in Christ’s name, saying “I am Christ.”
141. Mark 13:5 states, “And Jesus answering them began to say, ‘Take heed lest any man deceive you: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.’ ” Satan is let loose to do his evil in the hour we are in.
142. Ministers who say that all things will be restored by Christ are deceiving the people. Ministers tell TOCOG that we have too much audacity to change the date line of the earth back to where it should be.
143. All things will be also restored by Elisha. God’s people are supposed to do great exploits. There will be those who lead many to righteousness, says Daniel 12:3
144. Take heed that no one deceive you. This is very important admonition.
145. We know that the coming of the lawless one, one who does not follow God’s ways as they are outlined in the Bible, is described in II Thessalonians 2:7-11, “The mystery of iniquity does already work…” and shall be revealed.
146. “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish…” This is going to be an unrighteous deception among those who will perish.
147. “Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteous- ness.” They had pleasure in the false date line in the Pacific Ocean by not “rocking the boat.”
148. It is one thing to sin unknowingly, it is another think to sin and block out the convicting power of God that strives to bring you to repentance.
149. If you know the IDL is wrong, you better not be observing the Sabbath on the sixth day of the week. That’s known as “hardening of your heart.” 
150. If you dare to harbor your sin and continue to have pleasure in it, the false Date Line, watch out! Because God will send a strong delusion to you that you should continue to believe your lie.
151. If you continue to buy food on God’s Sabbath Day, work on God’s Sabbath Day in half the world, there’s I I Thessalonians 2:9-12 where Satan sends wicked deception, a lie, and God allows a strong delusion to those who have pleasure in unrighteousness.
152. There’s going to be a great awakening and TOCOG will be a part of it. The Obedient Church of God people are the ones who are not destroying the Bible, the Word of God. 
153. Be wary and know what the signs of the end time are. We are in the end time but we are not in the tribulation yet—not the seven years of the tribulation.
154. What are the end time signs so that we do know we are in the end times? 
155. BN Mr. Armstrong was not wrong when he stated when Christ would be returning, that we would be going to a place of safety in l975. He wrote a booklet called “1975 In Prophecy.”
156. Moses told the children of Israel that they were going into the “promised land” and they didn’t go in for forty years.
157. Add 40 years to 1975 and it equals 2015, the year TOCOG goes into a “place of safety.”
158. End time signs: unexpected disasters in the world . Earthquake by Japan that was under the ocean measured 9.0. It caused a huge tsunami—a wall 30 feet high that washed up over land of Japan and flowed inland six miles, wiping out towns and sweeping everything away.
159. The Bible in II Peter 2:1-3:  There were false prophets, false teachers, way of truth evil spoken of; through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you.”
160. False teachers among you will secretively bring in destructive heresies, such as, the Inter- national Date Line which causes the Sabbath to be moved to the sixth day; that Christ will re- store all things when Elisha will also restore all things.
161. II Timothy 3:3-4 tells that men will be without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those who are good. Also, they will be traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, having a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof.
162. Men are unloving, unforgiving, slanderers without self-control, traitors, despisers of the good, head strong, haughty, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, having a form of Godliness but denying its power. These traits occur in the last days.
163. II Timothy 3:1 In the last days perilous times shall come. Stress results from earthquakes and storms occurring. 
164. Matthew 24:6 says there are wars and rumors of wars, the end is not yet. Two ongoing wars are in Iraq and Afghanistan. 
165. Matthew 24:12 “Because iniquity (lawlessness) shall abound, the love of many will wax cold. People will commit adultery, stealing, lying, and murder.
166. II Timothy 3:4-5 records that Men have a form of godliness by deny the power thereof from such turn away. The entire religious system denies God’s power. 
167. People will have a fantasy world, be lovers of pleasure. The painter Baptiste said that work is paradise. Creating something gave happiness, 
168. God’s people are going to be creating and recreating universes and galaxies and that is going to be paradise for them.
169. Matthew 24:7 states that nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines and pestilences (diseases) and earthquakes in diverse places. Using drugs is epidemic in all states.
170. II Timothy 4:4   In the latter times some will forbid to marry. Many people will live together but have forsaken the marriage institution.
171. And people have been commanded to abstain from meats (foods, which God had created to be received with thanksgiving.) Vegetarianism is encouraged among many.
172. For Passover meal the Scriptures tell that the people ate unleavened bread, bitter herbs, and roasted lamb. A leg of lamb or shank bone has the whole bone to represent the unbroken bones of Jesus’ body as he hung on the crucifixion pole.
173. I Thessalonians tells “They shall say Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them…and they shall not escape.”
174. By 2014 and 2015 there will be utter destruction.
175. Zechariah 12:3 “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people : all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
176. Daniel 12:4 In the end time men shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 
177. We can know the end time events and know Bible understanding because knowledge will be increased because the book is sealed until the time of the end.
178. This is not the time of the start of the last seven years.
179. The gestalt is that we have to understand there is “a time of the end,” and the horrific part when the “tribulation of seven years” start, when men’s hearts will fail them for fear.
180. Half of those last seven years will be the “Great Tribulation” for 3 ½ years when men will be crawling into caves and hiding because of plagues and 100 pound hailstones.
181. Today we talking about the time of the end, which includes “birth pangs,” the first part of the last seven years, and the last 3 ½ years of the seven years,
182. There is less than a month in which to prepare to observe the Passover.
183. We will know exactly when Christ is returning, but we have to develop that character which takes years to inculcate into our lives.
184. Daniel 12:10 “Many shall be purified, and made white, and refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked understand: but the wise shall understand.
185. Matthew 13:24-35 tells the parable of a man who sowed good seed in his field, but in the night the man’s enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat: two kinds of grain began to grow. (In Churches of God there are hypocrites among the sincere believers.)
186. The owner of the wheat field told his workers to let both kinds of grains grow together until the time of the harvest. Then the reapers can gather the tares and bundle them and burn them, but gather the wheat into the barn.
187. The tares in the Churches of God are those who don’t obey the Bible. The tares don’t keep the Sabbath properly.  
188. Matthew 24:11 There are always going to be false prophets to deceive many because they have part of the truth, but Christ wants us to have all of the truth.
189. As the Obedient Church of God learns more truth, they will tell you more truth. 
190. The future about what is coming is going to make us fearful, causing us to be apprehensive.
191. Luke 21:26 “Men’s hearts will fail them for fear for what’s going on and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.”
192. Humanity will become very fearful about what is happening and worrying about things that are expected to happen, causing anxiety.
193. People that have knowledge are “sniffing the win,” even in the world. And people in the world know “the tomato is going to hit the fan”! And it won’t be long now.
194. The whole Middle East now is going to join together and rise up and by this fall Jerusalem should be divided. Part of the city will be given to the Palestinians, East Jerusalem, with a Peace Treaty. And the Madi will be set up as a leader for the unification of the Islamic believers.
195. Jesus said also that we (His followers) would be hated. Matthew 24:9 says, “Then they shall deliver you up to be afflicted, and kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.”
196. TOCOG has been reviled by other denominations, one in particular (Triumph Prophetic Ministry), where the minister screams at the top of his lungs for not following Turkey Day, reviling us for not following a false Date Line, and not buying food on the Sabbath Day in a restaurant, no matter what. 
197. By the words that come out of their mouth, other denominations are spewing out hatred, calling TOCOG members names. They won’t apologize and change. 
198. Churches of God must realize that Turkey Day is an eighth addition to the Feast of Tabernacles and they shouldn’t be doing that.
199. Maybe after this broadcast Elisha will restore all things before Christ returns to earth.
200. Daniel 12:4 says of the end time, “Men will run to and fro.” In a photo a person can view all the airplanes in the world for a 24-hour period, and it actually looks like bees going into different countries and coming out of different countries. It’s a maze of bee lines—planes going into one country to the other, and to another. Landing and taking off. Looks like a mushroom of beehive of activity.
201. And we find out that the sea is roaring. A 9.0 earthquake under the ocean caused a 30 foot high tsunami wall of water that swept over the eastern coast of Japan and continued inland for at least six miles.
202. Men’s hearts would fail them for fear for what is happening and quiver for what they expect might happen.  
203. Luke 21:25 describes Japan’s tragedy: When there are signs upon the earth, distress of nations with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring, men will mock warning signs of the age.
204. Acts 9:1 Before Paul’s conversion, as Saul he persecuted followers of Jesus. He breathed out threats and slaughter (murder)against the disciples of the Lord, and went to the high priest and desired of him letters…that if he found any in this way…he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.   
205. Men will mock others, such as The Obedient Church of God.
206. As Saul was converted to Christ on his way to Damascus, there is hope for ministers out there that they will repent and acknowledge their errors and get right before God.
207. II Peter 3:3-4 In the last days there shall come scoffers walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming?  Because things seem to continue as they had been.
208. Verse 14, “Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot or blemish (blameless).” Be found this way now.
209. I Corinthians 15:24 Then comes the end when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
210. I Corinthians 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruit; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
211. Be ready for Christ’s return which will occur on September 20, 2018.
212. Hebrews 10:38 “The just shall live by faith (and go forward), but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”
213. Hebrews 10:26 “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, here remains no more sacrifice for sins.” Don’t be rebellious.
214. TOCOG congregation are the sheep who follow God’s law. They are not the ones who draw back.
215. Signs of the end times: II Timothy 3:2 “For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy.”
216. Watch out ministers! For you are dealing with the mark of the Beast when you cooperate with the International Date Line. The Beast’s system put in that IDL.
217. You don’t want to worship the “Beast nor worship the Beast’s System. This is done by allowing the followers of God who live west of the IDL to observe the Sabbath as day early.
218. TOCOG hopes this information will cause ministers to shake in their boots and repent. TOCOG wants all of its ministerial friends to be in the Kingdom with us and, indeed, not to go through the Tribulation. 
219. And they can do that by taking heed to what TOCOG is saying because we are turning your hearts to the Father by the words that are coming out of our mouth right now and TOCOG teaches in a kind loving gentle way.        
220. “Sheep Song” played. Service closed with “Chariots of Fire.”
