No. 1295 Pharaoh of Rom.9.17 as ASSYRIAN became a mighty Cedar and fowls lodged in it Eze. 31 but he exalted, therefore LORD made a mustard tree for FOWLS to LODGE, even Ephraim as a DOVE Hos 7.11 lodged in branches of it Lu. 13.19
The ASSYRIAN as Pharaoh, Eze. 31; 1-3(leader of PCG) Became a mighty TREE as CEDAR and FOWLS of AIR (Ministry) Lodged in it, and Gerald Flurry EXALTED with his mighty works, So LORD delivered him TO GENTILES, Eze. 31; 11, 12---

Then, Mustard seed began its work to give shade!
Luk_13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
- When PCG ministry has no understanding, as having UNBELIEF, when LORD closed their eyes, hardened their hearts, Jn. 12;40, Isa 29; 10, LORD made the mustard tree to GIVE ITS SHADE, Lu. 13;19!
Ephraim AS A BIRD, A DOVE, (Ephraim is compared to PCG , for POSTERITY has to come to PCG
To be established in EVERLASTING COVENANT, Eze. 16;60
Ephraim had gone to Egypt (JERUSALEM as Egypt, Rev. 11;8)
Hos 7:8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people;
Hos 7:9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
Hos 7:10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
Hos 7:11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
Hos 7:12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
Mustard seed sprang up among gentiles
To give its shade which the mustard seed gets from CHRIST OUR LORD
As the ROOT OF JESSE, Rom. 15.12
Mic_5:8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles (AS WRITTEN in Isa 14;1,2)
Mal_1:11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
- It is DAY of LORD, twelve hours, Joh_11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
Rom_15:12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
ROOT OF JESSE, CHRIST OUR LORD, LEADS ministry as FOWLS OF AIR
To CHASTISE THEM , congregation had heard so!!
Hos_7:12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
Zep_1:3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.
Gentile work would be as a mustard seed in Kingdom of Heaven,
grown to give its
SHADE to FOWLS of AIR, a WORK of CHRIST OUR LORD
Mat_13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Luk_13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
Mar_4:31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
Mat_17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
- FAITH as MUSTARD SEED, to remove a mountain to sea
Luk_17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
Quotes From No. 1294--TYRE A MAN, was thrown into SEA

Eze 28:7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
Eze 28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.

PCG ministry as BIRDS
The ASSYRIAN as Pharaoh, Eze. 31; 1-3(leader of PCG)
Became a mighty TREE as CEDAR and FOWLS of AIR (Ministry)
Lodged in it, and Gerald Flurry EXALTED with his mighty works
So LORD delivered him TO GENTILES, Eze. 31; 11, 12
Eze 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon
Eze 31:4 The waters made him great,
Eze 31:5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
Eze 31:6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
Eze 31:7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
Eze 31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
Eze 31:9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
Eze 31:10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
Gerald Flurry LIFTED UP as capital G god
Royal Vision -PENTECOST 2007---Gerald Flurry wrote that he is god with capital “G”—God! “My office---which is really God’s office”- (“That Prophet” page 70 p 1,2,3)

Eze 31:11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
Eze 31:12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him:
Luk_13:19 -It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
- SO MUSTARD TREE has to give its shade to THE MINISTRY of PCG who are IN A PARABLE as fowls of the air, as GENTILE work is created by CHRIST OUR LORD to help in Malachi Purification on DAY OF LORD, Mal 3;1-5
Rom_15:10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

Isa_42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
Isa_42:6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
GENTILES SEE the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST OUR LORD
Isa_62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
Isa_66:12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.

Ministers to prove “CHRIST IN YOU”
Isa_61:9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
- Gentiles to write WORDS OF GOD to be approved and to be blessed by LORD
2Co 13:3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
2Co 13:4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
2Co 13:6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
2Co 13:7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
2Co 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
- THE TRUTH is CRUCIFIED CHRIST ---portrayed as CRUCIFIED

When PCG ministry has no understanding, as having UNBELIEF, when LORD closed their eyes, hardened their hearts, Jn. 12;40, Isa 29; 10, LORD made the mustard tree to GIVE ITS SHADE, Lu. 13;19!
The Unbelief of the People
Was given to them by CHRIST OUR LORD, blinded
Their EYES, Jn.12;40
Joh 12:36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
Joh 12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
Joh 12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Joh 12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
Joh 12:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. (Isa 29;10)
When prophets are blinded, He does a MARVELLOUS WORK, Isa 29; 10-14
Isa 29:10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
Isa 29:11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
Isa 29:12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
Isa 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
Isa 29:14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
- THEREFORE PCG ministry in Malachi Purification on DAY OF LORD, Mal 3;1-5 are given the SHADE OF MUSTARD TREE, Luk_13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
Jer 5:1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
Jer 5:2 And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.
Jer 5:3 O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
Jer 5:4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
Jer 5:5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
Jer 5:6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
- Jer 2:30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion. ---LEADERS’ OWN WORDS are as a DESTROYING LION

Joh 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.—light is RIGHTEOUSNESS, Ps. 36: 7
Jer 2:32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
Jer 5:7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
Jer 5:8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.

Warnings Against Adultery
Pro 6:20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Pro 6:21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
Pro 6:22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
Pro 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Pro 6:24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
Pro 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
Pro 6:26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
Pro 6:27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
Pro 6:28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
Pro 6:29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
- Jer 5:8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.
- So we should understand the INSTRICTIONS OF CHRIST OUR LORD from HIS BOOK, Ec. 12:9-14, to GET UNDERSTANDING to PRESERVE your OWN MARRIAGE—for CHRIST OUR LORD DOES NOT WANT DEFILED CHILDREN in EVERLASTING COVENANT, Deut. 29:9-15
-
Pro 6:30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
Pro 6:31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
Pro 6:32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
Pro 6:33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
Pro 6:34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
- THIS IS DAY of VENGEANCE OF LORD
Pro 6:35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
- Pro_1:10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
Jealousy of CHRIST OUR LORD
Deu_13:6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

The crown jewel of our campus, Armstrong Auditorium, has beautiful Austrian Schwartz crystal chandeliers. It houses Azerbaijani onyx and candelabras from Iran. It displays Swans in Flight, a sculpture created by the late Sir David Wynne from England. It sits beside a lovely spring-fed lake , and is adorned with beautiful flowerbeds and landscaping. And within the auditorium, people hear some of the world’s greatest performers playing some of history’s finest music. It brings all the arts together. Entering Armstrong Auditorium is a real festival for all the senses. It is all orchestrated to lift the spirit of man.
That is what we are striving to achieve on this campus: to make it a small foretaste of the wonderful World Tomorrow.

The Philadelphia Church of God sponsors a private liberal arts college. Why is our college named Herbert W. Armstrong College? We had many different names to choose from, and spent a considerable amount of time searching for the right name.
Gerald Flurry wrote
Our work is grounded in what God taught through Mr. Armstrong and what he is teaching today. We are carrying on the traditions Mr. Armstrong established. We follow what he did, building on the understanding he had.
Herbert W. Armstrong was one of the most prominent religious leaders of the 20th century.

Deu 13:9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
Deu 13:10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
Deu 13:11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.
Tree of knowledge of good and evil is known to the mustard seed
Gen_2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Gen_2:17-But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Heb_5:14 -But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

He teaches people to EXERCISE SENSES through LIFTING SPIRIT OF MAN
Giving a festival FOR ALL THE SENSES
In article “December 7, God’s House and New Jerusalem”
Gerald Flurry wrote—HOW they give a FESTIVAL for ALL SENSES through music at Armstrong auditorium –
Entering Armstrong Auditorium is a real festival for all the senses. It is all orchestrated to lift the spirit of man.
Gen_3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
A prophecy that children would become a PREY AND
WOULD NOT KNOW
KNOWLEDGE OF GODD AND EVIL
Deu_1:39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil,
Heb_5:14 -But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Gerald Flurry wrote--above
“It is all orchestrated to lift the spirit of man”.
BUT LORD’S INSTRUCTIONS TO Levi is DIFFERENT, Mal 2;16
“MEN’S’’ SPIRIT, Mal 2;16 which is their WORDS
Have WEARIED HIM, Mal 2;17
Mal 2:16 -For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
Mal 2:17 -Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Everyone that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD,
- SENSES of women should be guarded (just as hair guards head) so that they WISELY USE SENSES to divide GOOD AND EVIL, Heb. 5;14--
Neighbour’s wives, Eze. 22;11, Prov. 6;25-29, should UNDERSTAND THAT LORD is dividing GOOD AND EVIL---and not to SHED BLOOD being adulteresses, Eze. 23;45.
The SENSES are ---touching---seeing---hearing---smelling---tasting , we should find JUDGMENTS of LORD to do GOOD -It is prophesied for end time ISRAEL that they would serve OTHER gods AND WOULD NOT exercise SENSES, Deut. 4;28, as required in Heb. 5;14
- 2Pe 2:14 - Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
Principles for Marriage
1Co 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
1Co 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
1Co 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
1Co 7:4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
1Co 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
Today CHRIST our LORD is judging those who had gone to NEIGHBOUR’S WIVES, Eze. 22; 8-14 –for they would have famine of word, Amos 8;11----Eze. 22; 8, 26 says of DEFILING SABBATHS by adulterous acts, Eze. 22; 8-11. HE SEES, acts of lewdness of men who had gone to harlots, and overpowers , Heb. 4;12,13, the two edged sword of harlots, Prov. 5;3, 4, harlots, the strange women are compared to neighbour’s wives, Prov. 6;25-29, Eze. 33; 26, Eze. 22; 8-11,
People in church, specially the ministry, Levi who are being purified, Mal. 3, should REPENT any of their SINS, and SEEK HIS THRONE OF GRACE Heb. 4.16 of LAMB Rev. 5. 6 knowing MIND OF CHRIST understanding “CHRIST IN US” for gentiles had made known to PCG ," Mystery of ages" Col 1.26,27---read in Nos. 1238, 1239 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
WE OUGHT TO UNDERSTAND
HOW LORD WOULD REQUIRE HIS WIFE THE CHURCH
Through the MANY WORDS HE TEACHES
1Co 5:1 - It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.
1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1Co 10:8 -Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Eph 5:3 - But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
1Th 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
Ex 20:14-Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Le 20:10 - And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
Job 24:15-The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
Mt 5:27 - Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Mat 5:29 -And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out,
2Pe 2:14 - Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
Mt 19:9-And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Ro 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
1Co 6:9 - Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
The wife of thy covenant.
Mal 2:15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Mal 2:16 -For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
Mal 2:17 -Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
Mal 3:1- Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
Mal 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
From No. 1233 –
Read in No. 1233 of OLD COVENANT laws broken by present day ISRAEL, PCG as prophesied in many scriptures, example, Eze. 22;8-10, those laws of OLD COVENANT teaches us how TEMPLE OF LORD is DEFILED, and how HIS NAME IS PROFANED by HIS PEOPLE worshipping HIM!
All those marriage laws, preserving virginity, not engaging in harlotry, and marriage laws are mentioned in No. 1233—and their thoughts and intentions are being exposed by CHRIST our LORD today in HIS JUDGMENTS because such sins are FORGIVEN BY HIM through HIS SACRIFICE, hence the sinners are to BE HELPED BY THRONE OF HIS GRACE, Heb. 4; 3, 4, 16. (Read Heb. 4;3, 4, 16 in Nos. 1236, 1237 in www.restoringcaptivity.com)
Continued in No. 1233--
- Those who were found WRETCHED are helped by CHRIST our LORD, Rom. 7;24-25.
Eze. 22-11--another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
NAKEDNESS of one should NEVER BE SEEN BY ANOTHER!
Le 20:17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
Le 18:9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
- It is a WRETCHED THING to UNCOVER one’s NAKEDNESS
Our bodies are NOT FOR FORNICATION, but for the LORD
1 Co 6: 13 -Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
- CHRIST OUR LORD requires PEOPLE TO BE IN HIS COVENANT to PRESERVE THEIR SANCTFIICATION HONORING HIS BLOOD!
WHO are THORNS AND BRIERS?
Isa_32:13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
Heb_6:8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
- They are BITTER HERBS who would NOT RECEIVE BLESSINGS from GOD ALMIGHTY, Heb. 6;8
THEY ARE WITH PROPHET of Philadelphia Church of God, Eze. 2:5,6
Ministry who serves in HOUSE OF GOD are REBELLIOUS THORNS AND BRIERS (scorpions also)
Eze 2:5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
Eze 2:6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
Eze 2:7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
HERE is an EXAMPLE bitter herbs (INFIRMITY in FLESH) to be
Turned to BETTER HERBS (AS SERVANTS to RIGHTEOUSNESS)
Rom 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
Rom 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
DEAD TO SIN shall live with DEAD BODY of JESUS CHRIST
Isa_26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
BUT THE LORD WOULD PUNISH those with INIQUITY
- Isa 26:21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
Psa 72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
- Ships of Tarshish (WORK OF GW 2) -and Sheba the work of GW 1 –would bring presents to the LORD
Psa 72:11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
Psa 72:12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
NO FLESH (no act of flesh) on ALL OF Days of Unleavened bread
Deu 16:4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
- Anything of FLESH (lust of flesh) –sacrificed and BURNT on DAY of PASSOVER NIGHT, should NOT REMAIN until even DAY ONE of Days of Unleavened bread
You cannot have any divisions,
WHEN EATING Lord's Supper
1Co_1:10 -Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
The Lord's Supper
1Co 11:17 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
1Co 11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
When you do not examine,
YOU ARE IN GREAT TROUBLE
1Co 11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
It is Prophesied that daughters and spouses fall, Hos 4;13, 14
Therefore ALL THOSE AFFECTED should RECEIVE FORGIVENESS
Hos 4:13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
Hos 4:14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
- They too should receive FORGIVENESS
Lev 19:29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
Lev 19:30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
WE SHOULD GATHER
MIND OF LORD from OLD COVENANT
Lev 19:11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
Lev 19:12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
Lev 19:13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
Lev 19:14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
Lev 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
Lev 19:16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.
Lev 19:17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
Lev 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
You Shall Keep My Statutes
Lev 19:19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
Lev 19:20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
CONTINUING PASSOVER WORKS
1Co 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
1Co 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
- Those to be established in EVERLASTING COVENANT are NOT WORLDLY, --
- People of world WERE NOT TAUGHT OF NEW COVENANT AT THIS TIME!
1Co 11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
- When COMING FOR PASSOVER ----tarry to RECONCILE with ONE ANOTHER, forgiving, asking forgiveness, repenting for all sins, thanking HIM for CHRIST OUR LORD takes away our sins ---etc,
- ALL BLESSINGS HE GIVES for EVERYBODY has to be UNDERSTOOD, to LOVE ONE ANOTHER!
- Understanding that HIS WORDS ARE HIS SPIRIT, Jn. 6;63, AND HIS WORDS would TEACH US ALL THINGS has to be understood well!
FORNICATION and ADULTERY in church is mentioned below
Eze 22:10 In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
Eze 22:11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
For such uncleanness, CHRIST OUR LORD ALONE WOULD guide “CHRIST our PASSOVER” on DAY of LORD , 1 Co 5;7, because each one would be guided by Him, according to their iniquities
TRUE BAPTISM, TRUE PASSOVER AS CHRIST OUR PASSOVER
Would be TAUGHT BY CHRIST OUR LORD
On DAY of LORD, 1 Co 5;7
1Co 5:1 --It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
1Co 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
1Co 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
1Co 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
1Co 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
1Co 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
1Co 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
1Co 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
Paul wrote--
1Co_1:17-Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel
- That is because people FIRST, had to know blessings of DEATH and RESURRECTION of JESUS CHRIST, so that they be BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH, to receive BLESSINGS as INHERITANCE of EVERLASTING COVENANT!
Rom_15:18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
- LORD required to make the marriage Covenant as a sort of engagement, in Eze. 16; 1-8, AND TEACH THEM HOW THEY SHOULD PRESERVE CHURCH as A VIRTUOS WOMAN, NOT becoming as A HARLOT and HAVE IDOLS!
- From Eze. 16, we learn how church became a harlot, and THEREFOE WE SEE the NEED OF KNOWLEDGE OF HARLOTS, so that HIS PEOPLE UNDERSTAND TO SERVE AS A VIRTOUS WOMAN like that of Prov. 31.
- Eze. 16, 22, 23 and many other prophecies teaches that CHURCH MINISTRY SHOULD HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF PRESERVING COVENANT OF CHRIST OUR LORD, therefore BAPTISM unto DEATH of CHRIST OUR LORD, and HOW HE PURIFIES HIS CHURCH As of a LAMB, has to be taught to church, also many other WONDERFUL COUNSELS!
It is after SUCH TEACHINGS, through MANY PROHECIES that the CHURCH WOULD LEARN to BECOME A TRUE WIFE as a VIRGIN who would serve HIM WITHOUT DISTRACTION, ---therefore there has to be MUCH TEACHINGS from OLD TESTAMENT times!
- Therefore BAPTISM unto CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Rom. 6, WAS COUNSELED for our times, during DAY of LORD, for CHRIST HIMSELF TEACHES, Heb. 1;2, of CHRIST our PASSOVER, DURING DAY of LORD, 1 co 5;7, --LORD had to teach of FATHER OF LUSTS too with PRACTICAL LESSONS among His predestined and called brethren!
We need to receive MIND OF CHRIST to SERVE HIM
1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Rom_11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
1Co_1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
· THE TRUE BAPTISM is during DAY of LORD, when PASSOVER is taught as CHRIST OUR PASSOVER, which was NOT ORDAINED for Paul’s times, but GENTILES were to come and PREACH “CHRIST IN YOU” , Col. 1; 26, 27 (WRITTEN BELOW)
People had to be educated to read and understand! (IN Paul’s times it was not so---MORE OVER, prophecies had to be fulfilled, for instance Isa 23;15 had to be fulfilled of TYRE, which is 70 YEARS given to MERCHANT WORKS, Eze. 26 to 28, the PRINCIPLAITIES AND POWERS of CHURCH had to be THOROUGHLY PURGED to have faith in JESUS CHRIST) –and the PURPOSE of CHRIST CRUCIFIED, Gal 3;1, was to be fulfilled during DAY of LORD for CHRIST our PASSOVER, 1 Co 5;7
- There were many prophecies to be fulfilled for MARRIAGE OF LAMB, JESUS CHRIST as HUSBAND OF CHURCH, THE LAND OF ISRAEL, Isa 62; 4, 5
CHRIST OUR LORD had to receive PRE-EMINENCE
As GOD OF WHOLE EARTH, for people have IDOLS, as the LIE, Rom. 1;25!
1Co_1:19-For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
1Co_1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
· Wisdom of God chose to preach CROSS of JESUS CHRIST
· H.W. Armstrong taught CROSS was a METHOD TO KILL, and made us REMOVE “CROSS” on our necks! (I did so!)
That kind of leaders had to be present to EXALT THEMSELVES, SO THAT CHRIST OUR LORD would DESTROY SUCH people who make themselves as IDOLS of God’s people!!
· SO, TRUE BELIEVERS were made BY CHRIST to PREACH HIS CROSS during TIME OF PAUL!!
· The so called wise H.W. Armstrong knew not God,--- by wisdom of world----but H.W. Armstrong became TYRE who was followed by Gerald Flurry making PCG SING THE SONG OF HARTLOT, Isa 23;15
Therefore Paul preached nothing but JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFED 1Co_1:17-Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel
- Paul PREACHED NOTHING BUT JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED, as JESUS CHRIST would grant HOLY SPIRIT to make people have MIND OF CHRIST –1 Co 2
Proclaiming Christ Crucified
Paul’s preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom
(H.W. Armstrong preached with man’s wisdom)
We need to receive MIND OF CHRIST to SERVE HIM
1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1Co 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
1Co 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
1Co 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
1Co 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
1Co 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Divisions in the Church
Makes people as BABES IN CHRIST
(THEN HOW COULD THEY BE BAPTIZED without KNOWLEDGE OF GOD)
Therefore MANY OTHER THINGS TOO are to be
PREACHED before baptism!
1Co 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
1Co 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
1Co 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1Co 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
1Co 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Wisdom from the Spirit
1Co 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
1Co 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
1Co 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Enjoy Life with the One You Love
Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Eph 5:29 -For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
He that loveth his wife loveth himself.---if he loves his wife, he would get UNDEFILED CHILDREN for EVERLASTING COVENANT.
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh---MAN AND WIFE becomes ONE FLESH, Mt. 19. 5, 6
Mat 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Mat 19:6 -Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
- When a man and wife marries before GOD ALMIGHTY, we promise HIM to become ONE FLESH!
- If the man joins another woman, he and that woman BECOMES ONE FLESH!!!
- Then ---YOU PROVE of NO FEAR OF GOD! ---you had proved a LIAR, ADULTERER, UNTRUSTWORTHY, LEWD, PROUD AGAINST GOD!!
- Moreover-- 1Co 6:16 -What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
1Co 6:15 -Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
When predestined join the LORD—is ONE SPIRIT with LORD --
1Co 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. ---
1Co 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
- 1Co 6:15 -Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid
1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
- Before BAPTISM UNTO LORD, you are to UNDERSTAND MANY COUNSELS that PRESERVES ETERNAL LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST!
1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
- Servants of GOD to be VERY CAREFUL to PRESERVE THE LORD’S COVENANT by teaching TRUTH of CHRIST OUR LORD,as CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Gal 3;1---FOR people of GOD are to know that LORD HAD SHED BLOOD OF COVENANT, to make it EVERLASTING!
1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1Co 3:18 -Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
We see CHRIST OUR LORD gives wonderful counsels to preserve HIS MARRIAGE
COVENANT
HE EDUCATES people too to have UNDEFILED marriages with HIS WONDERFUL INSTRUCTIONS
COUNSELS are MANY for preserving marriages
So that they lead peaceful undefiled lives in EVERLASTING COVENANT

Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?
Psa 42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
Psa 42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
Psa 42:3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
Psa 42:4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
Psa 42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
Psa 42:6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
- HERMON is Zion-- Deu_4:48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,
- SO THOSE OF Zion now in Babylon, Mic 4;10, call on LORD
Psa 42:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Psa 42:8 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
Psa 42:9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Psa 42:10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
Psa 42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
IF YOU ARE WICKED, only WICKED would be with you,
But LORD would bring PEACE upon ISRAEL
Psa 125:5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
CHRIST OUR LORD WOULD then ESTABLISH HIS Government--
Isa 9; 7 -Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
8 -The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
ALL PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING GLORY AND HONOUR POWER AND MAJESTY BELONGS TO LAMB THE CRUCIFIED CHRIST, AMEN AND AMEN
