Ron Weinland, 666, and New “Truths”?

VS.

For the first time since January 15, 2010, the self-appointed prophet and self-declared one of the two witnesses, Ronald Weinland of Church of God Preparing for the Kingdom (CGPFK) posted something at his ronaldweinland.com website.

Here are some excerpts:

THE FEAST & NEW TRUTHS:

August 5, 2010…

As I am starting to write this post, I think of the date today and its symbolic importance, since this is day 666 to the return of Jesus Christ on Pentecost of 2012. For me personally, this is now a countdown from evil and the evil one…

This year’s Feast is going to be one of the most exciting and fulfilling spiritual Feasts that God has ever inspired! God will establish four additional doctrinal truths that will be given at this Feast. Two of these truths have been referred to only in passing (in the very slightest of terms), but they have not been focused upon and have not yet been taught and established as doctrine in the Church.

The plain truth is the Jesus will not be returning on Pentecost (May 27) in 2012. 666 has nothing to do with this. But, Ron is apparently trying to be dramatic, as his prophetic success rate is not good.

Nor are his future “new truths” likely to be true (though they will likely contain some truth). It is my opinion that Ron Weinland has been using this “new truth” stuff to encourage more people to attend his Feast of Tabernacles’ sites. It is not that I do not believe that Ronald Weinland will claim additional “truths”, only that since he claims to be one of the two witnesses, he probably could have already given public witness about them if these were, in fact, revealed to him by God.

But he will probably come up with some explanation about that.

Anyway, he also wrote in that same post:

God gave the 50th Truth which led us to understanding the correct timing for the return of Jesus Christ. In Worldwide, we had come to believe that Jesus Christ would return on a Feast of Trumpets, however, with the revelation of this truth we came to understand that Christ would return on Pentecost—specifically, Pentecost of 2012.

At the time that this truth was being revealed, I believed that this was the final truth God would give us…

A new era began on Trumpets of 2008, although a short one, which would continue up to the day of Christ’s return as King of kings. It was the beginning of the final countdown of the 1335 days prophesied in Daniel 12.

In this new era of the countdown to Christ’s return…To date, three additional truths have been given in this new era and four more will be given during the Feast of Tabernacles.

Again, if he was one of God’s two witnesses, one would think that he would not keep changing his mind as often as he has. His comments about getting more “truths” reminds me that PCG’s Gerlad Flurry, another self-appointed prophet, has claimed about his group.

Despite his claims and writings, the Great Tribulation did not begin in 2008 nor is Jesus returning on May 27, 2012.

Ronald Weinland is not God’s prophet or one of His two witnesses. Eventually, more of his followers will wake up and see this. Hopefully, they will not wait until after the Feast of Trumpets or the Feast of Tabernacles to do this.

Concerns About Ronald Weinland’s Church of God-Preparing for the Kingdom of God Ronald Weinland falsely claims to be one of the two witnesses God is raising up and that the end will come in 2008 (first April 17th, then June 2008, now December 14, 2008). Why does the Bible show that Ron Weinland is a false prophet? He also has at least one other view that suggests that he is not part of the Church of God.
Can the Great Tribulation Begin in 2010, 2011, or 2012? Can the Great Tribulation begin today? What happens before in the “beginning of sorrows”? What happens in the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord?
Who Are The Two Witnesses? What is their job? What does the Bible reveal? What has the Church of God taught on this subject? Might even Roman Catholic prophecies give some clues here?
SDA/LCG Differences: Two Horned Beast of Revelation and 666 The Living Church of God is NOT part of the Seventh-day Adventists. This article explains two prophetic differences, the trinity, differences in approaching doctrine, including Ellen White. Did Ellen White make clear prophetic errors?
Harold Camping’s Teachings About the End of the World Do Not Agree with the Bible Harold Camping teaches that the rapture will be on May 21, 2011 and the world will end on October 21, 2011. Like Ronald Weinland, he allegorizes too many scriptures. What does the Bible show?
2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect This is a link related to a book by Bob Thiel (COGwriter). This also has YouTube videos related to 2012. The book is for those truly interested in understanding how prophecies inter-relate and who want to see a real sequence of end time events. Unlike the false statements in Ronald Weinland’s books, events aligning with this one are actually coming to pass.
