As you understand from the topics itself-----King
Solomon’s time ships of Tarshish brought gold of Ophir to beautify things in
the temple, but since JESUS CHRIST makes men better than Gold of Ophir, ships
of Tarshish would bring presents of gold to beautify the temple JESUS CHRIST
Himself pitched, Heb 8: 1,2. the presents are the men to serve JESUS CHRIST who
has wisdom of JESUS CHRIST as the best gold, Isa 13: 12.
Isa
8:8-13- LORD SAYS HIS LAW IS ABANDONED---
In those vss. God says His law is abandoned, everyone deals
falsely and that LORD will consume them. ( God had created the world and men
for His pleasure, for His glory, Isa 43:7, Col 1:16 , to worship Him, Isa 66:
23),
He does not want His law to be abandoned by ISRAEL ministry of
Ro 9:4,6 {ISRAEL of Ro 9: 4,6 are those of ISRAEL church, Ro 9:4, who made a
marriage covenant with God, Eze. 16: 8} It is Philadelphia Church of God {PCG}
which claimed that they made the covenant , as recorded in the Ezekiel booklet
published by it’s leader, Mr Gerald Flurry.
This is how the prophet who has been , Ez 2:5,33:33 had
served the LORD ( LORD made him a prophet and wanted him to serve the LORD as
David did, Is 22:22-24, {David did as 1 Chr 23:30-31}, but as PCG does a
different work of their own, God had taken off the responsibility from him, Is
22:25 and he is no more prophet, Ps. 74:9.
LORD SAID HE WOULD BE WRITTEN AS CHILDLESS--
Jer 22:30 Thus says
the LORD: ‘Write this man down as childless, A man who shall not prosper in his
days; For none of his descendants shall prosper, Sitting on the throne of
David, And ruling anymore in Judah.’"
Now we should understand---LORD IS NOT SPEAKING OF PHYSICAL
CHILDREN! ---LORD REQUIRED SPIRITUAL CHILDREN TO BE BORN BY THE CHURCH, WHO
WOULD SUBMIT TO THE WORD OF GOD!
Those children has to mature as 1 Ki 2: 2-4, (men who would be
obedient to God’s Judgments, NOT THOSE WHO STRAY FROM HIS COMMANDMENTS!).
Isa 37:3-- for the children are come to the birth, and there
is not strength to bring forth.---WHEN THEY HAVE TROUBLE LIKE THAT, DAVID’S
THRONE LEADERS SHOULD ASK GOD’S HELP-- Ps 50:15, Ps 91:15 , 2Ch 15:4, Isa 33:2,
Jer 30:7 Alas! for
that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble;
but he shall be saved out of it.
Isa 66:9
Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?" says
the LORD. "Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?" says your
God.
Ge
18:14 Is any thing too hard for the
LORD?
THEREFORE
GOD OF ISRAEL WOULD HELP ISRAEL!
LORD DOES
A SHORT WORK , RO 9: 28, AND THE GENTILES OF Tarshish AND Sheba SERVE HIM.

The prophet who HATH BEEN, Eze. 2: 5, 33: 33, Gerald Flurry of
PCG, wrote booklets on most prophetic books of the bible. In his Ezekiel booklet he wrote
that PCG had made the marriage covenant with God as written in Ez 16:8-14.
He further wrote that, “God views marriage as already consummated. That
is why He labels our turning away from Him as adultery”, (Prophet referred to Ez 16:15 as committing
spiritual harlotry), God considers this
harlotry, as bringing strangers into altar, Ez 44:7 , PCG committed that, as
said in Ez 44:7 (bringing in strangers to the altar) at Bamah, Ez 20:29 {This
happened in Bimawaram, {Bamah} , India, Ez 20:29} LORD does not want strangers to
work on behalf of ISRAEL in altar, Le 22:25 (SUCH IS GOD’S LAWS OF
SANCTUARY!) , Therefore bringing in
strangers as ministers to altar, made the covenant to be broken, Ez 44:7 , Ez 16:59,
Jer 51:51. ---LORD hid from PCG, gentiles who were among PCG knew about that
iniquity why ISRAEL failed, Ez 39:21-23, so these gentiles of Tarshish, Isa 60:
9, work without a church leader, but waiting on JESUS CHRIST, Isa 51:5!
Gerald
Flurry wrote in Jeremiah booklet that “strong people follow without needing a
leader of great stature”.
SO LORD HAD MADE US STRONG!
Ps 33:20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help
and our shield.
Then Jer 3:14, TWO OF A FAMILY, Re 11: 2-4, and a few more are
the gentiles which were in PCG outer court (Philadelphia Church of God is inner
court), who witnessed Bamah abomination, Ez 39:21-23, (please note---the WRITER,
of this article, {one of Re 11: 2} serve the LORD according to Le 5: 1,
sinned by hearing the abomination happened in SANCTUARY). These gentiles are the remnant of PCG when PCG
became Laodiceans , Re 3:17. PCG DISFELLOWSHIPPED US, removed the land mark
established anciently—
Tarshish is 3rd generation after Noah-while
ISRAEL is 12th generation after Noah, (1 Ch1, Ge 10). That means God settled Tarshish anciently,
in coastlands, Ge 10: 4. Sheba in mountains of east, Ge 10: 30, another Sheba
in Gen 10:7 in coastlands—Sheba, Dedan sons of Raamah, son of Cush, son of Ham,
son of Noah-
(different Sheba could denote the different types of members,
as some had fallen from faith, 1 Tim 4: 1-3, they should repent and humble
themselves to be with the work of the LORD).
Anyway they all had ancient landmarks--
NOW WHEN Philadelphia Church of God DISFELLOWSHIPPED THOSE
OF Tarshish (Sri Lanka) and Sheba –the leader of Philadelphia Church of God had
removed landmarks! –---that
is against the word of God!
De 19:14 "You shall not remove your neighbor’s
landmark, which the men of old have set,
De 27:17 ‘Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor’s
landmark.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’
Pr 22:28 Do not remove the ancient landmark Which your
fathers have set.
Pr 23:10 Do not remove the ancient landmark, Nor enter
the fields of the fatherless;
(gentiles were fatherless, until they were cleansed by
LORD’s blood, Eph 2: 11-13, which shows all have to have the baptizm of JESUS
CHRIST to get the benefits of His blood to be sanctified in His Holiness, Ro 6:
3-22.)
Ho 5:10 "The princes of
Judah are like those who remove a landmark; I will pour out My wrath on them
like water. (since PCG was brought to ROYALTY, Eze. 16: 13, they are
princes).
WE ARE TO LEARN GOOD
LESSONS---LEADERS OUGHT TO KNOW THE LORD’S WORDS THOROUGHLY WHEN THEY TAKE
DECISIONS!
IT COULD BE CURSES FOR THEM
IF THEY DO UNWISELY!
Now God called these gentiles to wait upon Him, and they are
called “ships of Tarshish”!, Is 60:9, this time period is gentile times which
is LORD’s day, Ez 30:3, they executed LORD’s judgment , Ez 16: 40-42,
upon ISRAEL church, Ro 9:4,6, which is the church that is being judged at end
time, it is Philadelphia Church of God! Just as PCG judged WCG, the next
remnant of PCG, get to judge PCG, Eze. 16: 40-42.
Judgment articles are in—
http://www.gentileassembly.org
Now the LORD had made eternal covenants with Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob, David, Noah forever, God is faithful to them. Therefore God makes judgment
on PCG, THROUGH HIS FIRE, which is His words, Jer 5:19, 23:39---to burn
wickedness, by women, Is 27:11, they are two sisters of one family, Jer 3;14,
made to be pastors, Jer 3:15, witnesses of outer court, Re 11: 2-4 (we should
note that any one could fall and become false, 1 Tim 4: 1, if Satan enters, Re
12: 17).
Pr 6:19 A false witness who speaks lies, And one who
sows discord among brethren.
Pr 14:5 A faithful witness does not lie, But a false
witness will utter lies.
Pr 19:5 A false witness will not go unpunished, And
he who speaks lies will not escape.
Pr 19:9 A false witness will not go unpunished, And
he who speaks lies shall perish.
ONE SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW GOD’S
PRIESTS SHOULD CONDUCT THEMSELVES! IT IS AN ENORMOUS RESPONSIBILITY!
HEB 10: 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye
have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not
tarry.
38
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul
shall have no pleasure in him.
39
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that
believe to the saving of the soul.
HEB 11: 1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen.
Please note, some of the gentiles had fallen from faith,
1 Tim4: 1-3, if they wait on goodness of God, to
repentance , Ro 2: 4, they might be forgiven, otherwise the danger of
being cut off is indicated, Ro 11: 22, Isa 66: 24, Re 21: 7, 8, Re 22: 14,15. it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands
of living God, Heb 10: 31!
--work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
says, Php 2:12
How could we have salvation from JESUS CHRIST if we do not
love HIS PEACE, He is Prince of peace, Isa 9: 6.
They have to decide to produce fruits of repentance in
righteousness , to be attached to the true work of the LORD, they have to be
guided, so that they be part of the work of supplications, fasts, Zec 8: 19, etc. that has to be done in the house of God,
Isa 56: 4-7, as the WAY OF THE LORD IS IN HIS SANCTUARY, Ps. 77: 13.
We are to be doers of the word of God, Jas 1:22. they should
exalt God’s will stated in Isa 66: 23.
Philadelphia Church of God leaders are in spiritual
captivity, IN NATIONS, Ez 12: 3,15, these NATIONS are UNKNOWN, Ez 32: 9, they even do not see, Re 3: 17, therefore
LORD does a short work, Ro 9: 28, to RESTORE CAPTIVITY from NATIONS, Jer 33:
26, after making them know His spirit, Eze. 39: 28,29. {spirit is life giving
words, Jn 6: 63). gentiles serve Him since it is their time of serving LORD,
Eze. 30: 3, as they HEAR HIM, Acts 28: 28.

“FIRE OF GOD Jer 5.14 CONTAINS PARABLES TO
TEST MINISTRY AS GOLD”
In---http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
These gentiles witness against Bamah abomination of PCG, Re
11:2-4, they are from Sri
Lanka , and a few members are from India .. They gave messages of judgment,
Ez 16:40-42, to PCG, and wait on God as ships
of Tarshish, Is 60:9, taking messages as messengers in ships, Ez 30:9, on day
of the LORD, Eze. 30: 3.
THIS “ONE DAY” AS JESUS CHRIST CALLS IT, ----IS AS THOUSAND
YEARS when the DAY is PAST, Ps. 90: 4!
PCG ministry was sent into captivity in spiritual nations,
Ez 12:3-15 ---AFER THAT PROPHECIES STARTED FULFILLING-Ez 12:25-28. Gerald Flurry wrote in Ezekiel
booklet, that when God makes a covenant , IT IS GOOD A S DONE! God never
breaks a covenant . Just as that Jer 33:17-25 says JESUS CHRIST
will never break the covenant of the 2 families He had chosen and the covenant
with Levi, (Abraham, an David—David’s descendants are to rule Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob’s, descendants, Levi AND PRIESTS to multiply, SO THAT THEY WORSHIP GOD AS David DID, 1 Chr 23:30-31,
because LORD’s will is that all flesh would worship on Sabbaths , New moons Isa
66:23, just as David did in 1 Chr 23:30-31.
LORD
CANNOT ENDURE WICKEDNESS IN SACRED MEETINGS, Isa 1:13, Therefore God
CORRECTS PCG, sent them into captivity in “nations” , Eze. 12: 15, Ez 32: 9, (
Ez 32: 9 says they are unknown---that means it is a parable! —a list of
these nations is found in Jer 25:15-26, LORD
gave those nations a punishment of “A CUP” of LORD’s fury, from the word of
God-WHICH IS AS COALS, FIRE, BRIMSTONE--Ps. 11:6)----THE PCG GETS A VERBAL
BLAST, as you see, Isa 25:4, TO BREAK THEIR untempered WALLS, Eze. 13.
Gerald
Flurry prophesied that there would be a verbal blast!—it came to them!
FIRE IS LORD’S WORDS , Jer 5: 14, TO BURN WICKEDNESS, Isa 9:
18.
The cup would teach them many things, that they be ashamed!
Gerald Flurry wrote in Ezekiel
booklet (pg 79) that oath means- it will become
a curse if they failed to keep their promise!—SO IT BECAME A CURSE!
He further wrote –“The seriousness of our commitment –“if
you do not love less your family, you cannot come to Christ”, Lk 14:26-27. (THE
FAMILY IS GOD’S FAMILY---THE LEADERS DISFELLOWSHIPPED MANY BRETHREN RUTHLESSLY,
AND NEVER BRINGS THEM BACK! (Can Philadelphia Church of God say ‘NO”---Alex
Harrison disfellowshipped lots of people very proudly, so does the other
leaders---I am one of them although I had left on my own as feared for Le 5: 1!-------so
the leaders should learn to love the family of God!)
Now
that PCG had broken the covenant Ez 16:59, 44:7-they had got the curse! God
says He cannot endure sacred meetings (church services) and iniquity, Isa
1:13-15.
When you do not love your brethren---anger, wrath, malice,
lies, hatredness, partiality, wickedness, no joy, no love, no peace, no
kindness, no mercy, no forgiveness etc. could be seen among family members!
WHAT A HATRED LIFE IT WOULD BE? Will anyone who loves PEACE would want to LIVE
AMONG SUCH?
Eze 34:25 "I will make a covenant of peace with
them,
Eze 37:26 "Moreover I will make a covenant of peace
with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish
them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore.
Heb 13:20 Now may the God of peace who brought up our
Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood
of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you complete in every good work to do
His will,
SO WE SEE JESUS CHRIST LOVES PEACE!
God said He would restore judges first, Isa 1:26, to judge ISRAEL
of Ro 9:4, so that ISRAEL would be
called city of Righteousness –so the judges are the gentiles, Eze. 30:3, Ez 16:40-42 (an assembly) , who would
tread with JESUS CHRIST, La 1: 15, Re 11: 2, and they were given LORD’s
Righteousness to condemn PCG leaders, Isa 54:17, they serve the LORD to
establish new Jerusalem , Is 62:1-7 when He is establishing it as a new city,
the new Jerusalem will be called the bride of JESUS CHRIST , Re 21:2-3, that
means the marriage covenant is made again after making them pure, Re 7;14, Is
62:4,5, they would be accepted in Ezekiel temple, Eze. 43:18-27.
HOW WOULD THEY BECOME PURE AS A VIRGIN (Is 62:4,5) ?
GOD
GIVES A CUP OF CONSOLATION TO THEM—THROUGH HIS DEATH--
These PCG ISRAEL , Ro 9:4, have to get the Baptizm unto His
death, Ro 6: 3-7, which gives His rigteousness unto Holiness, vs 19, 22. which would
free of ALL their past sins-(then they would be fresh as new born)-thus they
are born again as new men to serve HIM, Ro 6:19,22! Ro 6:3-7 also says they would
be raised as LORD raised , vs. 5, and LORD raised in heavenly places , Eph 1:
20, (believers OF ISRAEL MINISTRY, Mal 3: 2,3, are raised by word, -----WORD OF
GOD, Re 19:13, is creating them, THROUGH
LIVING WORDS, Jn 6: 63, to give them NEW LIFE, Ro 6: 3-7), they become pure AS
ALL SINS ARE REMOVED, -holy and perfect---AS GOLD AND SILVER! (scriptures are
recorded in the article to follow, they would make these writings MORE CLEAR!)
It is Tarshish (Sri Lanka), and Sheba(India) who were chosen
by the LORD to bring this silver and gold, Ps. 72:10-15. It is a work of daily
and continual, prayers and fastings, supplications included in their work as
David would do, Zec 12:8-10, Zec 8:19, thus Tarshish brings presents to JESUS
CHRIST , the present is “a silver and gold ministry”, as help-meet to JESUS CHRIST , Mal 3;2,3, ----

PSALM 72 TARSHISH AND SHEBA BRINGING PRESENTS TO THE LORD
CONFIRMS NOAH’S COVENANT WITH GOD
http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
LORD is our gold, and silver, Job 22;25, His words
purified seven times are silver, Ps. 12:6 and Tarshish were gold and silver
smiths waiting on God, Jer 10:9,10, Isa 60:9, silver smiths worked on
an anvil, Is 41:7 (anvil being a block of iron for the craftsmen of Tarshish to
work on).
ANVIL—recently Sri Lanka
archeological department published that ASIA HAD THE OLDEST IRON, MORE THAN
3000 YEARS OLD, AND WERE
FOUND IN Sri Lanka—more on these in the articles to follow, on
“SCRIPTURAL TARSHISH”
That was during the time of Ezekiel
of bible.
So history of Sri Lanka prove
biblical records. There are much more history showing marvelous things LORD had
accomplished through Tarshish!
Ships of Tarshish brought gold and silver, precious stones,
when Solomon built the temple during his day. Just as that, the scriptural
Tarshish In PROPHECIES too bring sacrifices, gifts to the LORD, when He creates
His perfect ISRAEL seed, to serve Him, He being the temple, Re 21;22.
Thus ships of Tarshish is BRINGING GOLD AND SILVER, when LORD is pitching His true temple, Heb
8:1,2 with His own sacrifice, Ro 6: 3-7, which enabled to see a holy seed of
ISRAEL, Is 53:10. ISRAEL seed would come from the “spiritual nations”, Eze. 39:
28-29.---The spiritual nations that were in captivity ARE MINISTRY, Ez 12:15,
WHO would come as “NATIONS” who are
saved, Re 21:24, they are the kings which would bring glory and honour
into it- JESUS CHRIST is the King of kings and these kings serve Him Re 22;3,4.

http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
This
work of JESUS CHRIST done among ISRAEL of His church, Ro 9:4,6, is served by ships
of Tarshish, Is 60:9 , Ez 30:0, IT IS THE LORD’S SHORT WORK AMONG ISRAEL , Ro
9:28. the gentile members are messengers in ships, Eze. 30: 3,9.
Gentiles of Tarshish and Sheba were purified and cleansed by
LORD’s blood, Eph 2: 11-13, they were to keep the words of faith, had to be
doers of the word and growing in Knowledge 2 Pet 1:2-8, producing fruits of
spirit, Gal 5: 22-23. If they had not practiced knowledge they would depart
from faith, 1 Tim 4;1, ---
Then, LORD would give them a debased mind to do those things,
Ro 1: 28-31, which would lead them again
unto death, Ro 1;32, AS LORD LAYS A STUMBLING BLOCK WHEN RIGHTEOUS TURNS
WICKED, Eze. 3: 20.
Same
way LORD laid a stumbling block to ISRAEL, who turned wicked from being
Righteous, Eze. 3: 20, when they broke
covenant, Eze. 44: 7—and LORD gave statutes that would not make them live, Eze
20:25.
Then Laodicean leader was as a lion to destroy people of
church, Jer 2: 30, and their offerings were not accepted by God, their
SANCTUARY was PROFANED by GOD, Eze. 24: 21.
THE GREAT LESSON IS THAT WE ARE TO
BE OBEDIENT TO HIS SPIRIT, HIS WORDS, Jn 6: 63.
OTHERWISE WE COULD FALL!
The law was fulfilled with love, Ro
13: 8-10. therefore we are to honour HIS COMMANDMENTS, JUDGMENTS, LAW,
STATUTES, TESTIMONIES, PRECEPTS.
It is a serious thing to disgrace the blood of the covenant
which is shed for the believers, Heb 10:26-29, (the vss say that they would get
a worse punishment, it could be eternal, Isa 66:24).
THIS SHOWS THAT ALL BELIVERS SHOULD HONOUR THE CREATOR GOD
AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE AWESOME GOD OF WHOLE EARTH WANTS NOBODY TO ABANDON HIS
LAWS AND THE ORDINANCES OF WORSHIPPING HIM, HE CREATES-
Isa 66:22-23 Shows His will.
Please await the article “SCRIPTURAL TARSHISH”.
ALL PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING BE TO JESUS CHRIST , THE GOD OF
WHOLE EARTH, WHO PERFORMS WHAT HE SAYS, Job 23: 14, 15. AMEN.
