Ronald Weinland & 2008: God’s Final Witness

VS.
Ronald Weinland Says His Books and His Interpretations of the Bible Are What He Wants Potential Supporters to Study. The COGwriter Site Instead Urges Those Interested in Him and End-Time Prophecies to Spend More Time Checking His Writings with the Bible.

In his sermon in Detroit yesterday, which he titled God’s Witness is Ending, Part 2, CGPFK’s Ronald Weinland called for a church-wide fast for January 3, 2009.

Ronald Weinland then made such statements as:

The book title 2008: God’s Final Witness is very significant as 2008 is the final witness of mankind and his attitude towards God…

God has given one year, 2008, as a time that sums up the past 6,000 years. And then its time for us to enter into Great Tribulation…

He then mentioned some things that did not happen as his book indicated. Then he said:

If people want to get upset with me about those things in the book, so be it.

The fact is that if Ronald Weinland was God’s prophet and final witness, he certainly would have not made the type of mistakes he made.

Ronald Weinland then said:

The first trumpet was blown on December 14th…Hail and fire mingled with blood. It doesn’t say it is immediate…the first trumpet is not like that…it is all spirituallized away….that’s right…they are very spiritual in nature…it’s about judgment.

So, let us look at the scripture for the first trumpet:

7 The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. (Revelation 8:7)

Nothing like that happened two weeks ago, though December 14, 2008 was Ronald Weinland’s date (see 1260 Days: Ronald and Laura Weinland Back in Jerusalem). People need to compare what Ronald Weinland declares with the Bible and they will see that he is a false prophet.

Additionally if 2008 was GOD’S FINAL WITNESS, more people would have heard from the two witnesses. But relatively few have heard of Ronald Weinland, and even less his wife Laura–who he declared to have been the second of the two witnesses on April 17, 2008 (see Ronald Weinland Again Calls for Death).

Well, 2008 is basically over. Ronald Weinland has been proven false, yet some still follow him. Eventually, hopefully those who still are following him will actually depend more upon their Bibles than his explanations and writings.

No one should follow this repeatedly proven false prophet.

End of Mayan Calendar 2012–Might 2012 Mean Something? There is a Mayan calendar prediction for change in 2012. 2012 changes were also centuries ago predicted by the Hopi Native Americans and the Hindu Indians (who were not even on the same continent). Do these Mayan/Hindu/Hopi prophecies have any value? Why might Satan have inspired this date? Can the great tribulation start before 2012?
