INTRODUCTION
In his Key of David program, “The Key to Unlocking Reve-
lation,” Mr. Gerald Flurry discussed through Mr. Herbert W.
Armstrong’s booklet how the Book of Revelation has been writ-
ten by God through the apostle John:
(T)he writing is in SYMBOLS. And God uses sym-
bols to HIDE the meaning from men, until that
meaning is revealed BY NONE OTHER THAN JE-
SUS CHRIST HIMSELF!… (This) is in mystic SYM-
BOLS; but Christ, who alone is the Revelator, does
not at this time and place open up the meaning! He
has here merely opened up the words, in symbolic
form, but not here the MEANING. (p. 19, The Book
of Revelation Unveiled At Last!)
As Mr. Armstrong noted that Jesus Christ “merely opened up
the words in symbolic forms, but NOT the MEANING!” So if we
would like to understand the meaning of the symbolism that
were used in the Book of Revelation, we need to let Jesus Christ
interpret Himself in His written word, the Bible and not allow
some weird unbiblical interpretation of any man to smear the
real meaning as intended by God the Father.
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their
brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his
mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall
command him. And it shall come to pass, that who-
soever will not hearken unto my words which he
shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. But
the prophet, which shall PRESUME TO SPEAK A
WORD IN MY NAME, which I have not commanded
him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other
2
gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in
thine heart, How shall we know the word which
the Lord hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh
in the name of the Lord, IF THE THING FOLLOW
NOT, NOR COME TO PASS, THAT IS THE THING
WHICH THE LORD HATH NOT SPOKEN, BUT
THE PROPHET HATH SPOKEN IT PRESUMPTU-
OUSLY: thou shalt not be afraid of him. (Deuteron-
omy 18:18-22)
Proper FEAR should always be channeled to God and NOT to
any created being including a man. As the prophet Jeremiah
wrote, “Cursed be the man that trusts in man (Jeremiah 17:5).”
The Philadelphia Church of God has already descended deeply
into this category wherein the members put their whole TRUST
in their ministers and they FEAR them more than they should
FEAR God. So how can God continue to impart unto them His
wisdom in terms of understanding Bible prophecies?
“The FEAR of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
(Proverbs 9:10; Psalms 111:10)
If the FEAR is given unto the ministers and NOT to God, then
how can one expect for God to open up the MEANING of the
symbolism in the Book of Revelation and any of the prophecies
written in the Bible? The reason there are several failed proph-
ecies that was declared by the prophets in the PCG and to all
those who claim that they speak for God in the other Church of
God groups, it’s because they are speaking presumptuously
based on their OWN private interpretation. (2 Peter 1:20)
Having a child like attitude is not the only prerequisite for God
the Father to reveal the interpretation of the symbolism in His
prophecies. If that would be the case, then why did God not al-
3
low Daniel the prophet, who was a very humble man, to open
up his understanding to the prophecies that were shown to
him?
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are
closed up and sealed till the time of the
end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and
tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of
the wicked shall understand; but the wise
shall understand. (Daniel 12:9-10)
It is actually God the Father’s prerogative if He will impart to us
the understanding or not according to His own timeline. It’s a
matter of our personal relationship with Him. And He said that
only the WISE who FEARS Him shall be given the understand-
ing of the meaning of the symbolism in His prophecies. So if you
cannot understand it, then you are considered as one of the
WICKED. It’s that simple. It is God the Father who opens up
our minds to understanding and comprehension. Here is the
principle:
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Phi-
lippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men
say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some
say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and
others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith
unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon
Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son
of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto
him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh
and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but
my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 16:13-
17)
4
Many people in Jerusalem have personally SEEN WITH THEIR
OWN EYES how Jesus Christ performed many miracles in their
midst. They have all HEARD WITH THEIR OWN EARS how
He spoke about the law and the prophets. But did God the Fa-
ther reveal the identity of His own Son to those people? Is it not
only to His disciples?
Yes, Jesus Christ is the Revelator, but if God the Father will not
open up your mind to the understanding of His revelations,
then you will end up with your own presumptuous and bizarre
interpretation of Bible prophecies. Just look at what happened
to the PCG, God the Father has stopped the flow of revelations
to them because their ministry took away the FEAR that was
supposed to be directed to Him and instead channeled that
FEAR to be rendered to them.
THE EUPHRATES RIVER
In this last end, God the Father is doing something strange in
the midst of His people. He intended to finish His masterpiece
by doing a short work through the Gentiles to whom He contin-
uously poured out an abundance of revelations that there is no
more room enough to receive it (Isaiah 28:21; Psalm 98:2; Ro-
mans 9:28-30; Malachi 3:10). Now let us continue with the
story flow in the Book of Revelation from where we left off.
In our last article, we discussed about the FIRST WOE which
is also known as THE FIFTH TRUMPET ANGEL in the
Book of Revelation. We have already proven that this FIRST
WOE is not about the story of a European beast power who will
conduct a preemptive strike against the Asiatic hordes of Russia
5
and China, but rather, as clearly explained in our article, that it
is all about the work that Philadelphia Church of God Evange-
list Stephen Flurry introduced to the membership during the
Opening Night Message of the 2014 Feast of Tabernac-
les and that is, the new work in Edstone, Warwick-
shire, England. Now, let us continue with that story flow that
brings us to the next phase – THE SECOND WOE, also known
as THE SIXTH TRUMPET ANGEL.
One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes
more hereafter. And the sixth angel sounded,
and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden
altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel
which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which
are bound in the great river Euphrates. (Revelation
9:12)
What does this great river Euphrates symbolize? Does it really
pertain to the physical body of water in the heart of the Middle
East? To better understand what God really meant with this
symbolism, let us go to Jeremiah’s prophecy concerning this
subject:
Thus saith the Lord unto me, Go and get thee a linen
girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in wa-
ter. So I got a girdle according to the word of the
Lord, and put it on my loins. (Jeremiah 13:1-2)
What is the symbol of the girdle for?
And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron
and his sons, and put the bonnets on them: and the
priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute:
and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons. (Exo-
dus 29:9)
6
And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and
washed them with water. And he put upon him the
coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed
him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and
he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod,
and bound it unto him therewith. (Leviticus 8:6-7)
The GIRDLE is a symbol of the PRIESTHOOD or the
MINISTRY.
And the word of the Lord came unto me the second
time, saying, Take the girdle that thou hast got,
which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphra-
tes, and hide it there in a hole of the rock. (Jer-
emiah 13:3-4)
The name “Euphrates” in Strong’s Concordance is from the He-
brew word “perath” (H6578): From an unused root meaning
TO BREAK FORTH, rushing; Perath (that is, Euphrates), A
RIVER OF THE EAST – Euphrates For emphasis, Euphra-
tes can also mean, A RIVER OF THE EAST which came from
the word, “perath” which is actually connected to a prophecy in
Isaiah chapter 28 concerning God’s STRANGE WORK:
For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he
shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he
may do his work, his strange work; and bring
to pass his act, his strange act” (Isaiah 28:21)
Here is what Barnes Commentary wrote regarding this verse:
The word ‘Perazim’ is from pârats, to tear, or
BREAK FORTH, as waters do that have been con-
fined; and is INDICATIVE OF SUDDEN JUDG-
MENT, AND OF A COMPLETE OVERTHROW. It
was on that account given to the place where David
7
obtained a signal and complete victory 2 Samuel
5:20; and it is here referred to, to denote that God
would come forth in a sudden manner to destroy Je-
rusalem and Judea.
Again the word “Euphrates” came from the root which means
“TO BREAK FORTH, rushing” which is associated
with GOD’S STRANGE WORK FROM THE EAST that
break forth and came in rushing to proclaim SUDDEN JUDG-
MENT and A COMPLETE OVERTHROW on the spiritual
Edomites inside the PCG. (For an in depth study on this subject,
read our booklet, In Mercy shall the Throne be Estab-
lished: The Philippines in Prophecy – Part 2)
God used the symbol of Euphrates to indicate a geographical lo-
cation of where the prophecy concerning the spiritual condition
of God’s ministers (girdle) will be fulfilled. And what did God
wants us to see through Jeremiah’s prophecy?
So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the Lord com-
manded me. And it came to pass after many days,
that the Lord said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates,
and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded
thee to hide there. Then I went to Euphrates,
and digged, and took the girdle from the
place where I had hid it: and, behold, the gir-
dle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
(Jeremiah 13:5-7)
Notice that the girdle was hidden in the area of Eu-
phrates, a river of the east where the girdle was found
MARRED and PROFITABLE FOR NOTHING. It means
that in God’s eyes, the priesthood or the PCG ministry
in the east is now being exposed and found to have
8
been BLEMISHED, DISFIGURED, SPOILED and is
PROFITABLE FOR NOTHING. This PCG ministry in the
east pertains to the ministry of the region under John Macdon-
ald, i.e., the prophesied Wormwood who has a great influence
that go beyond the limits of his region which led to the intro-
duction of paganism to God’s Church. His very evil influence
resulted to bitterness among the Church membership. To prove
this, read our article, “THE SEVENTH SEAL: The History
and Prophecy of the Philadelphia Church of God”
God prophesied that He will perform a STRANGE WORK in
this last end that will BREAK FORTH as a river to proclaim
SUDDEN JUDGMENT concerning the filthiness of the girdle in
Euphrates or the PCG ministry in the east which He also used
to represent all the ministers of the Philadelphia Church of God
around the world. How can we be so sure that the girdle in Eu-
phrates or the ministry in the east is indeed a specific represen-
tation for all the PCG ministers around the world as written in
Jeremiah’s prophecy? The proof is in the next verses:
Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Thus saith the Lord, After this manner will I
mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of
Jerusalem. (Jeremiah 13:8-9)
Judah in this prophecy is referring to the Philadelphia Church
of God congregations around the world while Jerusalem per-
tains to their Headquarters in Edmond, Oklahoma. (For a
more detailed explanation, please read our books, The Last
End – A Book of Remembrance, and also The House of
Spiritual Jews). For emphasis, the “girdle” being mentioned
in Jeremiah’s prophecy is a symbolism for the PCG ministry
around the world including its Headquarters in Edmond Okla-
9
homa, whom God will spiritually disfigure, spoil, impair and
damage.
This EVIL PEOPLE, which refuse to hear my
words, which walk in the imagination of their
heart, and WALK AFTER OTHER GODS, TO
SERVE THEM, and TO WORSHIP THEM,
shall even be as this GIRDLE, which is GOOD
FOR NOTHING. (Jeremiah 13:10)
God calls the ministers in the Philadelphia Church of
God as EVIL PEOPLE. But the question is, WHY? Well,
here’s one of the reasons: It is now very obvious for all the world
to see, that the PCG ministry can’t get enough of the worship of
other gods like the worship of Baal through Irish Dancing, the
worship of Astarte through Mother’s Day and the worship of
Molech through Cremation. So what have they done? They
made things worst by introducing COMPARATIVE RELIGION
to Armstrong College, to study not just Baal, Astarte and Mo-
lech, but also all the other gods and religions of this world!
Here’s what has been posted in their pcog.org website:

Now honestly ask yourself: If you were in God’s shoes, will you
still consider the PCG ministry as a profitable and a holy minis-
try? It is quite obvious that they have become the epitome of
EVIL as God is seeing them now! They are even more evil than
the Worldwide Church of God after Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong
died.
And I said after she had done all these things, Turn
thou unto me. But she returned not. And her
treacherous sister Judah saw it. And I saw,
11
when for all the causes whereby backsliding
Israel committed adultery I had put her
away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her
treacherous sister Judah feared not, but
went and played the harlot also. And it came to
pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she
defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones
and with stocks. And yet for all this her treach-
erous sister Judah hath not turned unto me
with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith
the Lord. And the Lord said unto me, The back-
sliding Israel hath justified herself more than
treacherous Judah. (Jeremiah 3:7-11)
As far as God is concerned, the Worldwide Church of God (back-
sliding Israel) is even more justified than the TREACHEROUS
Philadelphia Church of God (Judah)! God has specifically
warned us about such an evil like this COMPARATIVE RELI-
GION:
When the Lord thy God shall cut off the nations from
before thee, whither thou goest to possess them,
and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in
their land; (Deuteronomy 12:29)
The Philadelphia Church of God was the one who SUCCEEDED
the Worldwide Church of God after the death of Mr. Armstrong
on January 16, 1986 that signaled the end of the Philadelphia
era. They became the rightful owner of the title, God’s TRUE
CHURCH in this Laodicean era. So God did not leave them
without a warning:
Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared
by following them, after that they be destroyed
12
from before thee; and THAT THOU ENQUIRE
NOT AFTER THEIR GODS, SAYING, HOW
DID THESE NATIONS SERVE THEIR
GODS? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do
so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to
the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their
gods; for even their sons and their daughters
they have burnt in the fire to their gods. What
thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou
shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. (Deuter-
onomy 12:30-32)
Look at how God abhors CREMATION so much that He specif-
ically pointed it out in these verses. Did you know that CREMA-
TION was the very first paganism that was introduced to the
PCG as early as 2004 which was barely a year after their so
called victory in the court case battle against the WCG
over Mystery of the Ages?
It seems that they have not really learned the history and proph-
ecy of God’s Church. The PCG was sent to deliver God’s judg-
ment against the WCG because they have turned the wrong way
after Mr. Armstrong died. Now, God is performing a STRANGE
WORK in Euphrates (perath in Hebrew) to deliver God’s judg-
ment against the PCG because they too have turned the wrong
way (Jeremiah 13:3-4; Isaiah 28:21). This same principle hap-
pened throughout all generation even from Ephesus era up to
the Laodicean era. And Mr. Armstrong even took notice of this
specific principle. Here is what he said in the World Tomor-
row program:
Do you know, my friends, if you go back in the olden
days that God could not use an organized
13
group of His at any time to do His work be-
cause the organized group usually turned the
wrong way? And He had to take a man, a
prophet, and send them to Israel with His
truth. And what did Israel do? They rejected the
truth every time and said, “No, that isn’t what we be-
lieve, we’ve got our established truth, we’ve got our
established doctrine, and the men at the head.” Well
why? They were afraid if they acknowledged the
truth that they, the men at the helm, and the men at
the head, in some organization that had been set up
and organized, would lose their jobs. And that’s hu-
man. Oh, there’s a lot of human nature around, my
friends, and it has always been here.
According to Mr. Armstrong, such a pattern was all about our
own human nature at work which happened precisely to both
the WCG and the PCG ministry in recent Church history. None
exempted.
For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a
man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the
whole house of Israel and the whole house of
Judah, saith the Lord; that they might be
unto me for a people, and for a name, and for
a praise, and for a glory: BUT THEY WOULD
NOT HEAR. (Jeremiah 13:11)
For emphasis, this prophecy covers the whole house of Israel
(all of the Church of God groups that came out of the WCG) even
the whole house of Judah (the PCG). And it says there that
“THEY WOULD NOT HEAR.” So, it left God no option but to
raise up a STRANGE WORK in the Euphrates river i.e., the PCG
ministry in the EAST that represented the whole PCG ministry
14
around the world whom He found to be DISFIGURED,
SPOILED, and PROFITABLE FOR NOTHING as He saw them
do evil and abominable things like leaving Jerusalem and re-
placing with a vain work in Edstone, and introducing COMPAR-
ATIVE RELIGION to study the worship of other gods.
THE FOUR ANGELS IN THE GREAT RIVER EUPHRATES
We have already proven that the symbol of the Euphrates river
pertains to the PCG ministry in the east.
One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes
more hereafter. And the sixth angel sounded,
and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden
altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel
which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which
are bound in the great river Euphrates. (Revelation
9:12-13)
Therefore the “four angels which are bound in the great river
Euphrates” is connected with the story of the four angels
prophesied in Revelation chapter 7:
And after these things I saw four angels standing
on the four corners of the earth, holding the four
winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow
on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. (Reve-
lation 7:1)
The word “angel” can also mean “messenger” as indicated both
in Thayer’s Lexicon and in Strong’s Concordance, so it does
15
not necessarily refer to a literal angelic spirit being, but it can
also be attributed to a physical messenger.
As for the word “holding,” Thayer’s Lexicon defines it as “to get
possession of“; while in Strong’s Concordance it is primarily
described as “to use strength, that is seize or retain.”
So as it says there in verse 1, the four human messengers were
seen “in possession of; using the strength of; seizing or retain-
ing the four winds of the earth.” What does the wind symbol-
ize?
The WIND bloweth where it listeth, and thou
hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence
it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one
that is born of the Spirit. (John 3:8)
The wind is a symbol for God’s Holy Spirit and it is fur-
ther proven in the Book of Acts:
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they
were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly
there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing
mighty WIND, and it filled all the house where they
were sitting… And they were all filled with the
Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:1-2)
Here is what one Bible commentary wrote regarding verse 8 of
John chapter 3:
Like the wind, spirit is invisible. A person cannot see
it move or work. However, one can see the effect
of what the Spirit does. One can see how it acts
on things—just as the wind going through a tree full
of leaves. One cannot see the wind, but everyone has
seen how it makes the tree’s leaves and the branches
16
sway. Some have perhaps witnessed a strong wind
knock a nest out of a tree or rip leaves or branches
off a tree, but not the wind itself. It is the same
with the Spirit. The Spirit moves, and we then
can see people react. The people do things. A
WORK GETS DONE. What we see is not the
Spirit itself, but the Spirit’s FRUIT.
Source: Forerunner Commentary
God’s Holy Spirit is the agent by which the work of God gets
done in all the ages.
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is
the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by
might, nor by power, BUT BY MY SPIRIT, saith
the Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6)
We cannot see God’s Holy Spirit but we can see the physical
manifestation of the work of the Spirit. Look at what God has
achieved with His Holy Spirit through Mr. Herbert W. Arm-
strong – God was able to preach the gospel of His kingdom to
all the world leaders (Matthew 24:14). With God’s Holy Spirit,
Mr. Gerald Flurry was able to establish the Philadelphia Church
of God to warn the Worldwide Church of God and continue Mr.
Armstrong’s work.
The same is true for these four human messengers who were
seen here in John’s vision as the “four angels standing on
the four corners of the earth, holding thefour winds of the
earth,” meaning they are four baptized members from
God’s Church who are “in possession of; using the
strength of; seizing or retaining God’s Holy Spirit in
them. Look at how Jesus Christ further associated this wind to
one’s baptism.
17
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Ex-
cept a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which
is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of
the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again. The WIND bloweth where
it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but
canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it
goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
(John 3:5-8)
We may ask: Why would God associate four baptized members
of God’s Church with the suppression of the flow of His Holy
Spirit to the Philadelphia Church of God (the earth), their mem-
bership around the world (the sea), and their ministry (tree)?
The main reason is that, God has already stopped working with
the PCG because the ministers and members have quenched
His Holy Spirit, they have despised His prophecy contained in
the Book of Remembrance and they stopped proving all
things (1 Thessalonians 5:19-21). Apparently, God took away
His Spirit from them and cast them away from His presence
which is a direct fulfillment of the thought, “that the wind
should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.”
(Psalm 51:11; Jeremiah 7:14-15; Revelation 7:1)
As the PCG was cast out by God because of their rebellion
through the Edstone work, He has now turned His eyes on these
four baptized members who would accomplish His strange
work (Isaiah 28:21). As a result, He has given them an awe in-
spiring physical manifestation of His Spirit working through
them with the DOUBLE WONDER in Jerusalem, i.e., the
Mount Zion Dig and the rehabilitation of the Children’s Play-
ground in Liberty Bell Park with a KINGDOM THEME play
18
structure. While on the other side of the fence, the unrepentant
PCG ministers are still hoping to get their hands on the Ophel
dig once again to cure their wound. (Hosea 5:13)
To further understand what these four baptized members have
done, let us consider the word, “standing” which in the Greek is
“histemi” (G2476) wherein in Thayer’s Lexicon it is also de-
fined as: “to escape in safety, to uphold or sustain the
authority or force of anything, to stand ready and pre-
pared, stand by.”
These four baptized members of God’s Church escaped in
safety from the time of trouble brought by the Ezekiel 4 siege
or the NO CONTACT POLICY. They are also being described
as upholding or sustaining the authority of God’s sig-
net, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong and they just stand ready
and prepared to do battle for God. And out of these four
messengers were brought forth God’s two anointed ones
that stand by Him as they published The Last End – A Book
of Remembrance:
Then said he, These are the two anointed ones,
that STAND BY the Lord of the whole earth. (Zech-
ariah 4:14)
But notice carefully that there is another angel who supports
those four messengers as they are being prepared to do battle
for God:
And I saw another angel ascending from the
east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried
with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was
given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not
the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have
19
sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads
(Revelation 7:1-3)
The word “ascending” in Strong’s Concordance can also be de-
fined as “arise.” Now who could this other angel be that ARISE
from the east? This is actually pertaining to Michael the great
prince as prophesied in Daniel chapter 12:
At that time MICHAEL, the great prince, the pro-
tector of your people, SHALL ARISE. There shall
be a time of anguish, such as has never occurred
since nations first came into existence. But at that
time your people shall be delivered, EVERYONE
WHO IS FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK.
(Daniel 12:1, New Revised Standard Version)
Notice that the expression “angel arising from the east” and the
thought “Michael shall arise” are actually both describing the
same event. But why did Michael arise from the EAST? It’s be-
cause the Book of Remembrance was written in that region. So
John saw in his vision Michael the great prince arising in the
east.
The time of trouble being discussed in Daniel chapter 12 is per-
taining to the Ezekiel 4 siege or the NO CONTACT POLICY im-
plemented by the PCG ministry that brought great misery and
suffering to many of God’s people around the world. This
prophecy of Daniel is the same as what we can read in Revela-
tion chapter 12:
And to the woman were given two wings of a great
eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her
place, where she is nourished for a time, and times,
and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (Reve-
lation 12:14)
20
This symbolism of the TWO WINGS OF A GREAT EAGLE can
also be found in the book of Exodus:
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how
I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto
myself. (Exodus 19:4)
And the angel of God, which went before the camp
of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the
pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and
stood behind them: (Exodus 14:19)
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit
on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy
footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits,
sent forth to minister for them who shall be
heirs of salvation? (Hebrews 1:13-14)
Obviously, Michael the great prince was given by God the spe-
cific task to protect and minister unto His people at any time as
affirmed also by the apostle John (Revelation 12:7). And there
is none else but him that do so as further attested by the prophet
Daniel:
But first I will tell you what is written in the Book of
Truth. No one supports me against them ex-
cept MICHAEL, your prince. (Daniel 10:21, New
International Version)
God is trying to emphasize in this verse Michael’s job descrip-
tion. Christ is reiterating here that NO ONE truly supports Him
in every war inside God’s Church, but ONLY MICHAEL, OUR
PRINCE (Revelation 12:7):
At that time MICHAEL, the great prince, the
PROTECTOR OF YOUR PEOPLE, SHALL
21
ARISE. There shall be a time of anguish, such as has
never occurred since nations first came into exist-
ence. But at that time your people shall be delivered,
EVERYONE WHO IS FOUND WRITTEN IN
THE BOOK. (Daniel 12:1, New Revised Standard
Version)
Michael has been specifically assigned and charged to PRO-
TECT God’s people which comprises the 144,000 saints
throughout the all ages, including saints from Ephesus era
down to our time now in this Laodicean era. It’s only HIM
whom God has assigned as indicated in verse 21. Now, looking
at the facts connected with or relevant to Michael protecting
God’s people in this last end, it’s now in the context of A BOOK
OF REMEMBRANCE and Mr. Gerald Flurry has already proven
that.
As indicated in Revelation chapter 7, the work of the four mes-
sengers are being associated with the final completion of the
144,000 saints (Revelation 7:4)
For emphasis, these four messengers are the same four angels
which are bound in the great river Euphrates (Revelation
9:14). There’s another vision where we can see these four being
described in more detail, it’s in the 6th chapter of the book of
Zechariah.
And the angel answered and said unto me, These
are the four spirits of the heavens, which go
forth from standing before the Lord of all the
earth. (Zechariah 6:5)
Verse 5 tells us that they stand before God as stated also in Rev-
elation chapter 7. Look at how they are being described here,
“These are the four spirits of the heavens” i.e., God’s Holy Spirit
22
originating from the heavens where God the Father dwells, be-
ing filled to four human beings. It is indeed a clear picture of the
work of God’s Holy Spirit being done through mortal men.
Notice how both the Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon and
Strong’s Concordance define the word “spirits” as “winds,” so
it can be read as “the four winds of the heavens.” This is the
same as what we have already proven from Revelation chapter
7 regarding the winds which is a symbol for God’s Holy Spirit.
The question is, how were these four winds brought forth?
We have been with child, we have been in pain, we
have as it were brought forth wind; (Isaiah 26:18)
The woman or God’s Church brought forth wind – “the four
winds of heavens.” To the Philadelphia Church of God, the four
winds of heavens can be likened to a FART which they have
emitted out of their system because they were thinking that
some high ranking PCG minister should be the one to stand up
and deliver them from all the abomination and wickedness hap-
pening inside the Church. Yet to their utter disappointment,
what they have seen were only NOBODIES – just four baptized
lay members. But as it turned out, their thoughts are not
aligned with God’s thoughts (Isaiah 55:8).
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid…
Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an EAST
WIND shall come, THE WIND OF THE LORD
shall come up FROM THE WILDERNESS, and
his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be
dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant
vessels. (Hosea 13:12, 15)
God brought forth His EAST WIND from the wilderness be-
cause of the HIDDEN INIQUITY of the DRUNKARDS OF
23
EPHRAIM inside the Philadelphia Church of God. The
general membership cannot detect these false prophets in their
midst, so God saw the need to establish the EAST WIND to ex-
pose these 25 PCG ministers who introduced the abominable
work of vanity in Edstone, Warwickshire, England.
This EAST WIND is the one whom God has used to prepare the
wilderness for the woman using The Last End – A Book of Re-
membrance (Revelation 12:14). From this wilderness, God es-
tablished His throne or government in mercy (Isaiah 16:1, 5).
To know more about this subject, read our booklet, “In Mercy
shall the Throne be Established: The Philippines in
Prophecy – Part 2“)
He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take
root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face
of the world with fruit… In measure, when it
shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth
his rough wind in the day of the EAST WIND.
(Isaiah 27:6, 8)
The EAST WIND is another term used by God to describe His
strange work, led by the two witnesses who were hidden
through the names, Jacob and Israel. God established them be-
cause of the hidden sins of the drunkards of Ephraim.
Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after
the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desola-
tion; and they do make a covenant with the Assyri-
ans, and oil is carried into Egypt. (Hosea 12:1)
There is another “wind” being mentioned here and the prophet
Jeremiah made a clear distinction on their identity apart from
God’s east wind.
24
And the prophets shall become wind, and the
word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto
them. (Jeremiah 5:13)
False prophets inside God’s Church whom God has not spoken
to are also called “wind,” but He knows who are His and He
called them the EAST WIND from the wilderness. It is prophe-
sied in Hosea that the drunkards of Ephraim in the PCG feeds
on their false prophets and at the same time they follow and
closely monitor the works of the two witnesses.
“He daily increaseth lies and desolation” – the Trumpet
DAILY program hosted by Stephen Flurry from Edstone in the
land of Ephraim was concocted to “increase their lies and deso-
lation.” These PCG ministers really cannot hide what they have
done in secret, God knew that they have made a covenant
with the Assyrians or the Macdonalds.
But what ever lies and desolation Stephen may utter daily in
his Trumpet Daily program, the oil or God’s revelations
through His east wind in the wilderness will still be carried to
Egypt or the “besieged places” or congregations of the PCG.
They are all without excuse from God. It is already prophesied.
For emphasis, this EAST WIND which is called THE
WIND OF THE LORD that came up FROM THE WIL-
DERNESS is the same FOUR ANGELS THAT WERE BOUND
IN THE GREAT RIVER EUPHRATES. It is also the FOUR
WINDS OF HEAVEN being mentioned in several prophecies.
These four winds is attributed to four individuals in God’s
Church in this last end. To prove that, let’s begin reading from
the first three verses of Zechariah chapter 6:
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked,
and, behold, there came four chariots out from be
25
tween two mountains; and the mountains were
mountains of brass. In the first chariot were red
horses; and in the second chariot black horses; And
in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth
chariot grisled and bay horses. (Zechariah 6:1-3)
The four winds are also called the four chariots in verse 1. Well,
actually they can also be called horsemen. Now the horses in the
chariots of the horsemen are characterized by their different
colors: red, black, white, grisled and bay.
Now the symbolism of the two mountains being alluded here is
the government of God during the Philadelphia era under Mr.
Herbert W. Armstrong and the Laodicean era under Mr. Gerald
Flurry. This only indicates the time sequence of when this
prophecy will be fulfilled and the characters involved in that
prophecy. They were all associated with the work of Mr. Arm-
strong and Mr. Flurry.
So in terms of the time order of sequence in being involved with
God’s Church, the first horseman with red horses was the most
senior of all the four, having joined the Worldwide Church of
God during the third quarter of 1973 and was baptized a few
months later on February 27, 1974. The second horseman with
black horses grew up as a child in the WCG during the 1970’s
while as for the third horseman with white horses during the
1980’s, but both of them were baptized in the PCG as an adult.
Whereas, the fourth horseman with grisled and bay
horses joined 1983 as co-worker and baptized on 2007 in the
PCG. Zechariah chapter 6 basically tells us about the history of
how the four chariots or four messengers found their way to-
gether to fulfill God’s will.
And what is God’s will that they must do? The prophet Habak-
26
kuk reveals to us their specific job description:
Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? Was
thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against
the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and
thy chariots of salvation? (Habakkuk 3:8)
The word river is a symbol for the ministry as what we have
earlier proven, while the word sea is a symbol for the Church
membership around the world who became wicked (Revela-
tion 17:1, 15; Isaiah 57:20).
Now notice the word “and” in verse 8 is in italics which means
that it was just inserted so it should not be included. Moreover,
the thought of the latter part of the passage indicates that God
was the one riding upon His horses which are called His chari-
ots of salvation. These chariots are actually saviors! That’s why
they are described by the prophet Obadiah as such:
And SAVIOURS shall come up on mount
Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom
shall be the Lord‘s. (Obadiah 1:21)
These chariots or horsemen are God’s instruments in saving His
own people from the wickedness of the PCG ministry who be-
came Edomites, and He is using the work in Mount Zion and
the Children’s Playground in Jerusalem to become a tangible
evidence of their credentials as SAVIORS. Now, considering all
the symbolism in verse 8, it can now be paraphrased this way:
Was the LORD displeased against the PCG minis-
ters? was thine anger against the PCG ministers?
was thy wrath against the Church membership
around the world, that thou didst ride upon thine
horses, thy chariots of salvation who came up
27
on Mount Zion to judge those PCG Edomite
ministers? (Habakkuk 3:8)
28
God is greatly displeased and fuming mad with the
PCG ministers who became Edomites as they “rejoiced
over the children of Judah in the day of their destruc-
tion” when the Edstone work was introduced (Obadiah
1:12). But God is also angry against the Church membership
because they have trusted in a mortal man rather than putting
their trust in Him. Look at what they are doing today, they are
now seeking the leadership of DEATH (Stephen
Flurry). Thus, Christ came to ride His chariots of salva-
tion to save His own people from that sure destruction brought
by the work in Edstone. For emphasis, the four angels which
are bound in the great river Euphrates in Revelation chapter
9 are also called God’s chariots of salvation.
Verses 6 & 7 of Zechariah chapter 6 actually provide us with the
history and prophecy of GOD’S CHARIOTS OF SALVATION or
THE FOUR WINDS OF HEAVEN:
The black horses which are therein go forth into the
north country; and the white go forth after them; and
the grisled go forth toward the south country. And
the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might
walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get
you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they
walked to and fro through the earth. (Zechariah 6:6-
7)
The word “north” in Strong’s Concordance is primarily defined
as “hidden” while the word “country” can also be defined as
“the earth, wilderness.” This indicates that the two chariots
with black and white horses hid themselves while they were in-
side the Church even after they went out into the wilderness.
Another perspective for the thought “north country” indicates
that God has established His government through them in the
29
wilderness by bringing forth, The Last End – A Book of Remem-
brance as a preparation for those who will later come out from
the Church (Isaiah 16:1, 5; Revelation 12:14). (To know more
about this subject, read our booklet, “The King of the North
and the King of the South Prophecy.”)
While these two horsemen with black and white horses were
preparing the wilderness, another horseman with grisled horses
helped the two by going to the south country, (of which the PCG
has turned into after God established His government in the
wilderness), to pluck out the horseman with the bay or red
horses. This horseman with red horses have always eagerly
sought to march and patrol the whole Church around the world
in order to monitor their activities and to expose the best kept
dirty secrets of the PCG ministry by using the social media as
his platform.
Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying,
Behold, these that go toward the north country have
quieted my spirit in the north country. (Zechariah
6:8)
The two horsemen with black and white horses or the two wit-
nesses, whom God established His authority with, has given
Him comfort because from the very beginning, they have always
been in perfect agreement to respect the office of Mr. Gerald
Flurry as His anointed prophet which is the same principle Da-
vid employed when he dealt with King Saul. (1 Samuel 24:2-13)
This vision in Zechariah chapter 6 is even related to a dream by
one of the two witnesses which was documented in The Last
End – A Book of Remembrance:
Now, here comes the third dream that I had after just
a few days from that second one. In this dream, it
30
was dusk, and in every corner I put my eyes on seem
to be pitch black and gloomy, when all of a sudden,
an enormous display of lightning burst out from a
distance. That massive lightning struck two gigan-
tic mountains in front me and it lit the sky by a bit.
I cautiously surveyed my periphery, and little did I
know that I was actually standing in a very wide open
field. And as I looked back, I saw a great multi-
tude of people – all of them have locked their eyes
on me, then it rained. So, I decided to walk to my
right side and saw another man waiting for me.
He then joined me, and as we walked together, I de-
cided to stare at the thick dark clouds in the sky
above us – and on the spur of the moment, the rain
has stopped and those thick clouds parted ways on
their opposite sides giving way to a great light that
emanated from sun.

brance
God the Father is now openly revealing to us the whole clear vi-
sion in Zechariah chapter 6 which is about the history and
prophecy of His strange Gentile work in the east. Beginning in
verse 9, He has given us some specifics of the human counter-
part fulfillment of the four chariots described in the previous
verses.
And the word of the LORD came unto me, say-
ing, Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of
Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Baby-
lon, and come thou the same day, and go into the
house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah (Zechariah 6:9-
10)
31
“Take of them of the captivity” – here is indicative of the con-
dition being described while under the prophesied Ezekiel 4
siege or the NO CONTACT POLICY that is happening inside the
Philadelphia Church of God. If we will consider the word “take”
in Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon, it is defined this way:
• Snatch
• To be taken out of
• To be taken away
Let’s use those expressions and thus we will have:
• Snatch them from the captivity of the Ezekiel 4 siege
• Take them out of the captivity of the Ezekiel 4 siege
• Take them away from the captivity of the Ezekiel 4 siege
So the three personalities being mentioned here have been
SNATCHED FROM the Ezekiel 4 siege; they are TO BE TAKEN
OUT OF the Ezekiel 4 captivity or the NO CONTACT POLICY.
Remember the word “standing” in the context of what the four
messengers are doing (Revelation 7:1)? We have seen that it can
also be defined as: “to escape in safety, to uphold or sus-
tain the authority or force of anything, to stand ready
and prepared, stand by.”
Initially in the story flow, only three of those four chariots or
horsemen ESCAPED IN SAFETY. And what were they in-
structed to do? To answer that, let’s consider first the word
“come” (H935) which is transliterated as “bo” that can also
mean, “cause to come out, go to war, come against, invade”
So the expression “which are come from Babylon” can also be
read as the following:
32
• which cause to come out from Babylon
• which go to war with Babylon
• which come against Babylon
• which invade Babylon
Another perspective on the phrase “which are come from Baby-
lon,” gives an indication that they are Gentiles. So the personal-
ities being described in Zechariah chapter 6 are the human
characters that started the strange Gentile work that will cause
God’s people to come out of Babylon and to go to war against it.
We have already proven the identity of this Babylon from our
booklet, “Mystery Babylon the Great, Unveiled At
Last!”
As the story precisely unfolded, the three Gentiles came out
from spiritual Babylon and then went to war against that organ-
ization:
“…and come thou the same day, and go into
the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah”
Who is Josiah being referred to here? The name “Josiah”
in Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon means, “whom Jehovah
heals“; while the name “Zephaniah” means, “Jehovah has
treasured”
Looking at the meaning of those two names, Josiah here is as-
sociated with Mr. Gerald Flurry who needs God’s healing on
his spiritual condition, whereas, Zephaniah is being alluded
to Mr. Herbert Armstrong whom He treasured.
As for the three horsemen in Zechariah’s vision, they are being
represented by God in that story through their human repre-
sentation with the names, Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah. And
33
these three are Gentiles that went to war with spiritual Babylon.
And how did they do that? They went to war by sending several
printed copies of the book, The Last End – A Book of Remem-
brance during the 2014 PCG Ministerial Conference to the
house of spiritual Josiah (Mr. Gerald Flurry) in Edmond, Okla-
homa.
SET CROWNS IN JOSHUA’S HEAD
Then take silver and gold, and make crowns,
and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of
Josedech, the high priest; (Zechariah 6:11)
Silver and gold is a symbol for members of God’s Church
(Haggai 2:8). How about a CROWN, what does it imply?
Let’s read from Proverbs 12:4
• A virtuous woman is a CROWN to her hus-
band: (King James Version)
• A virtuous and excellent wife [worthy of
honor] is the CROWN of her husband, (Ampli-
fied Bible Translation)
• A worthy woman is the CROWN of her hus-
band; (American Standard Version)
• A wife of noble character is her husband’s
CROWN, (New International Version)
The crown made of silver and gold is actually a
symbol used by God to represent the members of
God’s Church who are part of Christ’s own
Bride! And He is now telling us through the prophet
34
Zechariah, that Joshua (Stephen Flurry) had done some-
thing terribly wrong to the noble character of every mem-
ber of Christ’s own wife in this last end. He besmirched
Christ’s Bride by causing her to leave Jerusalem which the
Eternal has chosen! (Zechariah 3:2)
Now let’s pose this question: Why did God inspire in this
prophecy that Joshua is to be crowned and not Zerubba-
bel? The reason is, because it was this last end Joshua who
forgot the Eternal has chosen Jerusalem vision. A major
part of the work of the four chariots of salvation is to keep
the crowns of Stephen Flurry in his head by waking him
up together with all the ministers and members of the PCG
around the world. That is the reason why it was inspired
to be written in the plural sense (i.e., “crowns”) because
eternal lives are at stake here and people are losing their
crowns by putting their trust in a mortal man.
The word “set” even further expounds this idea wherein
in Brown Driver-Briggs Lexicon it is also being defined as
“to extend compassion.” So this setting of crown
upon the head of Joshua is indeed a great symbol-
ism used by God as a means of extending His com-
passion to Stephen and all the PCG members
around the world if only they would repent to-
ward Him. Now that’s the work of God’s chariots of sal-
vation – it’s all about God extending His mercy to His own
people.
Well, it is not even a coincidence that the name Ste-
phen actually means a CROWN. But there is a very shock-
ing revelation about the meaning of his sur-
name. Flurry in the dictionary is defined as:
35
• a sudden commotion or burst of activity
• move in an agitated or confused manner
• CONFUSION
• to agitate, stir, or CONFUSE
• TO CONFUSE or bewilder or BE CONFUSED or
bewildered
Is this why God allowed him to be named as Stephen
Flurry which can mean, the CROWNED KING OF CON-
FUSION?
And they had a king over them, which is
the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name
in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the
Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. (Revela-
tion 9:11)
Stephen Flurry is really the prophesied Abaddon
and Apollyon i.e., the indisputable CROWNED
KING OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT!
And it is interesting to note also that the word “flurry” is
synonymous to the words hustle, bustle, confuse, con-
found and bedevil:
36
Here are meanings from the dictionary of the synonyms of
the word “flurry”:
Hustle –
• to obtain something by deceitful or il-
licit means; practice theft or swindling.
• to misrepresent one’s ability in order to de-
ceive someone.
37
• an illicit or unethical way of doing business or ob-
taining money; a fraud or deceit.
Bustle –
• to move or cause to move energeti-
cally and busily.
• to hurry or cause to hurry with a great show of en-
ergy or activity
• energetic and noisy activity
Bedevil –
• to torment or harass maliciously or diabolically.
• to possess as if with a devil; bewitch.
• to cause confusion or doubt in; muddle; confound.
Is it really in Stephen’s mind to practice theft or swindling
that’s why he was already associated as early as July 16,
1989 with Robber’s Cave? (Jeremiah 7:11)
Is it really in Stephen’s system to allow Satan to “make
war” (in Greek from “pelomai” meaning “to bustle” in
Revelation 12:17) with God’s people by filling their lives
with a great show of energy through a lot of busy activity
which will not bring them any closer to God?
Can we now prove without any shadow of a doubt that Ste-
phen Flurry is prophesied to be possessed by Satan the
devil himself in the context of Jerusalem (Zechariah 3:1-
2)? We have already proven that in our article, “The Ed-
stone Work – The First Woe of the Book of Reve-
lation.” With that meaning of bedevil in mind, this makes
38
his father, Mr. Gerald Flurry (Gerald means a prophet), A
BEWITCHED PROPHET! And someone from the PCG
ministry bewitched him! Basing from God’s prophecies,
this minister would be a descendant of Simon Magus
whom we know today as John Macdonald, the
prophesied Wormwood in Revelation chapter 8.
Apparently, this last end Joshua is already losing his own
CROWN or has already lost it, as well as the CROWNS of
several other people in the PCG who are following his lead
in doing that abominable work in Edstone. The mem-
bers are not aware that he is also called by God as
DEATH because he led God’s people to leave the Jerusa-
lem work in exchange for a vain work in England. So what
did God do?
And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh
the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose
name is The Branch; and he shall grow up out of
his place, and he shall build the temple of
the Lord: Even he shall build the temple of
the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall
sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a
priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace
shall be between them both. (Zechariah 6:12-13)
God has no other option but to bring forth His servant the
Branch – Christ coming in the flesh through His two wit-
nesses. To learn more about this subject, read our booklet,
“The Branch and the Two Thrones”
Joshua and his fellows, i.e., Stephen and the rest of the 25
ministers who introduced the work in Edstone is called the
MEN OF SIGN for a very good reason. It’s because they
39
are a wondrous sign of how close the return of Jesus Christ
is!
Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and
thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men
wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my
servant the Branch. (Zechariah 3:8)
Now let’s continue with the vision shown by God through
the prophet Zechariah concerning the four chariots or the
four winds and their biblical names:
And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to To-
bijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of
Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of
the Lord. (Zechariah 6:14)
This Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen are real peo-
ple living today doing God’s strange work in the east. And
as prophesied in Revelation chapter 9, they were seen by
the apostle John in vision as bounded because they were
initially subjected to the NO CONTACT POLICY. But as
indicated in that prophecy, they were set to be loosed dur-
ing a specific time sequence as ordained by God.
We must remember that Zechariah’s vision is set in the
context of a returning people back to their land, Jerusalem
and also in the process of rebuilding God’s spiritual tem-
ple. Actually, that is God’s commission to this strange
Gentile work in the east also known in the scriptures as
the Cyrus work. That is why God gave these Gentiles a
short work in Jerusalem to be able to bring back the focus
of all His people around the world on preparing for the re-
turn of their Messiah, Jesus Christ to this earth. This is the
main reason why God gave these Gentiles the DOUBLE
40
WONDER in Jerusalem – the Mount Zion Dig and the re-
habilitation of the Children’s Playground in Liberty Bell
Park with the installation of a KINGDOM THEME play
structure.
And they that are far off shall come and
build in the temple of the Lord, and ye shall
know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto
you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will dili-
gently obey the voice of the Lord your God.
(Zechariah 6:15)
Who are “they that are far off who shall come and
build in the temple of the Lord”? There are two per-
spective to this prophecy. First, it can refer to the Gentiles
from the distant land of the far east who have been com-
missioned by God to finish what the end time Zerubbabel
has started (Zechariah 4:9).
The other perspective to this prophecy in verse 15 is per-
taining to those members in God’s Church who
went astray or went far off from God during the Laodi-
cean era i.e., from the time of Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong’s
death up to the time period of the strange Gentile
work from the east in the context of a Book of Remem-
brance. Everyone will have to REPENT TOWARD GOD if
they want to participate in the rebuilding of God’s spiritual
temple. It only started with the Remembrancers . Eventu-
ally, God prophesied that 10% will be coming from the
PCG and another 7,000 members from the other Church
of God groups that went out from the WCG. (Revelation
11:13)
41
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he
said to me, These are they which came out
of great tribulation, and have washed
their robes, and made them white in the
blood of the Lamb. (Revelation 7:14)
All of those members of God’s Church whether from the
PCG or the other COG groups who wanted to become a
part of the completion of the 144,000 saints of Revelation
chapter 7 will have to fulfill a prerequisite, i.e., all of
them will have to wash their robes, and to make
them white in the blood of the Lamb just like what
the other saints before them did (Revelation 7:14; He-
brews 11:39-40). To know more about this subject, please
read our booklet, “Mount Zion and the 144,000
Firstfruits of God.” Jesus Christ will have to come to a
complete spiritual temple without any spot, wrinkle or
blemish. (Ephesians 5:27)
And 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)
This great sound of a trumpet being referred here is the
SIXTH TRUMPET ANGEL. The gathering of the elect is
now taking place during this SECOND WOE, that’s why
God has already released the four angels from the Euphra-
tes in the east. (Revelation 9:12-14)
Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will
save my people from the east country,
and from the west country; And I will bring
42
them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jeru-
salem: and they shall be my people, and I will be
their God, in truth and in righteousness. (Zech-
ariah 8:7-8)
That is the time sequence, God’s salvation will come first
from the east country and then after that from the west.
PREPARED FOR AN HOUR, A DAY, A MONTH AND A YEAR
In Revelation chapter 9, God has shown how the work of
the four angels or human messengers began as what was
also discussed in Zechariah chapter 6. But here in verse 15,
a time line has been prophesied:
And the four angels were loosed, which were
prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month,
and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
(Revelation 9:15)
This third part of men is referring to the 25 men
of Ezekiel 8 and their followers who have been
possessed by Satan and his demons to do a work
in Edstone. Notice that God has given this four human
messengers some preparation time before they went to the
battle against the demonic forces in spiritual Babylon.
What is this preparation for an hour, and a day, and a
month, and a year being mentioned here by God? It’s ac-
tually the preparation to destroy the work of the 25 PCG
43
ministers in Edstone, Warwickshire, England. Let’s begin
grasp this by reading an article in the pcog.org website:
PCG Gains New Campus in Britain
UK/Europe regional office to expand dramati-
cally
By Grant Turgeon
Nov. 13, 2014
On May 8, Mr. Flurry and his son flew to
England and viewed six estates over the next
two days. On May 14, the PCG submitted an
offer on the estate in Warwickshire, which
was quickly accepted and became official in
early June.
Mr. Gerald Flurry announced the offer during a
Bible study in Edmond on May 16 at the begin-
ning of the AC graduation weekend. After nearly
FIVE MONTHS of routine inspections, legal pa-
perwork and negotiations, contracts were ex-
changed and the sale was formalized on Septem-
ber 24. At the Feast of Tabernacles on Oc-
tober 8, PCG members at 16 sites around
the globe learned the location, name and
details of the estate in a taped opening
night presentation by Mr. Stephen
Flurry.

As the article noted that “on May 14, the PCG submit-
ted an offer on the estate in Warwickshire, which
was quickly accepted and became official in early
June.” During that same ONE MONTH time period,
the Remembrancers sent The Last End – A Book of Re-
membrance to the printing press which was finished on
June 14, 2014. This is the specific fulfillment of Hosea’s
prophecy:
They have dealt treacherously against the Lord:
for they have begotten strange children: now
shall a month devour them with their por-
tions. (Hosea 5:7)
God saw that the 25 PCG ministers were determined to
push through with their pet project in Edstone to replace
the Jerusalem work so God prepared a people who will de-
stroy their abominable plan.
Look at what God has done: During that
ONE MONTH, The Last End – A Book Re-
membrance was being produced in
printed copies and was immediately sent
to the Philadelphia Church of God Head-
quarters in Edmond, Oklahoma AT THE
SAME TIME the deal in Edstone became
official in June. The ministers received
their printed copies of the book around June 18, 2014 dur-
ing their ministerial conference. The purpose of that book
is to devour them of their portions. What is their portion?
That which they have abandoned – Jerusalem.
45
After the deal of the purchase of the Edstone Hall became
official, exactly ONE YEAR later on June 14, 2015, God’s
two anointed ones, Jacob and Israel began with the work
in Jerusalem by participating for the very first time in the
2015 Mount Zion Dig.
ONE DAY prior to that date, was the official day of re-
lease from the Euphrates river (ministry from the EAST)
through the HOUR of the announcement that was made
by PCG minister Kirk Macdonald on the Sabbath service
of June 13, 2015. He prepared the list of the names of the
Remembrancers whom he disfellowshiped and marked in-
cluding little children and babies. In real fact, God
snatched His Remembrancers out of the midst of demon
possessed ministers and members. That was the DAY
and the HOUR of our release from the PCG prison house.
46
There is another significant DAY and HOUR on June 9,
2015 when Kirk, the son of Wormwood John Macdon-
ald, went to the house of Jacob to disfellowship him and
his whole family even without discussing any clear reason
why. But there is a great significance of what had hap-
pened by looking at the definition of the name of that PCG
minister:
Kirk is the Scottish word for Church; while Macdon-
ald means the “son of the world’s ruler“; whereas, Satan
is the god of this world or the world’s ruler (2 Corinthians
4:4)
Thus, Kirk Macdonald can mean, Church of the son of Sa-
tan
What actually happened was according to God’s perfect
timing which is symbolic of the Church of the son of Sa-
tan releasing the four angels which are bound in the great
river Euphrates. (Revelation 9:12-13)
For behold the stone that I have laid before
Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: be-
hold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the
Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of
that land in ONE DAY. (Zechariah 3:9)
That ONE DAY of June 9, 2015 is the beginning of the
DAY of the Lord, the DAY of God’s judgment for the
PCG in this last end. In God’s eyes, our work is all about
removing the iniquity of the PCG. But in the eyes of Kirk
and the PCG members, that DAY was June 13, 2015 when
our names have been announced in the pulpit as marked
and disfellowshiped including the children and the little
babies.
47
Whatever value of the YEAR we use as reference, whether
it would be a 360 day or 365 day for ONE YEAR, there is a
significant event that transpired during the preparation of
God’s strange work among the Gentiles.
As prophesied, God prepared the work of the four messen-
gers in the context of a Book of Remembrance primarily to
destroy the third part of men or the 25 men of Ezekiel 8
because they have left Jerusalem which the Eternal has
chosen and replaced it with a vain work in Edstone.

THE 200 MILLION ARMY OF THE HORSEMEN
The prophecy concerning the 200 million armies has baf-
fled the ministers and members of God’s Church for such
a long time. We have neglected to dig deeper into this sub-
ject and just settled with the interpretation of the ministry
then just to evade any further discussion. But what is the
real interpretation of this great symbolism in the Book of
Revelation? Is this really referring to the Asiatic hordes
from the combined military might of Russia and China
who will retaliate against the preemptive strike of the Eu-
ropean beast power?
And the number of the army of the horsemen
were two hundred thousand thousand: and I
heard the number of them. (Revelation 9:16)
If we look closely at this vision in verse 16, the apostle John
was describing the number of the army of the four an-
gels or the four horsemen with chariots as what we have
already discussed in Zechariah chapter 6. And as it turned
out here, they have been given by God a massive army of
angelic beings to back them up in their battle against the
demon possessed hordes of ministers in the PCG. Again,
there is not a single indication that this is connected with
the Asiatic hordes that we have thought before.
For emphasis, THOSE 200 MILLION ARE THE
NUMBER OF THE ARMY OF THE HORSEMEN!
Remember that this prophecy is INSIDE the SECOND
WOE time sequence before the TWO WITNESSES will be
slaughtered and NOT AFTER that time sequence. While
50
the locusts being described in verse 3 as what we have dis-
cussed before are the demon possessed armies of
PCG ministers and NOT the European army. We can ac-
tually see some distinction in those two armies:
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon
the earth: and unto them was given power, as the
scorpions of the earth have power… And they
had breastplates, as it were breastplates of
iron; and the sound of their wings was as the
sound of chariots of many horses running to bat-
tle. (Revelation 9:3, 9)
The demonic armies have breastplates of iron (symbolic of
the IRON WALL); while as for the angelic armies, look at
how the apostle John described it:
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and
them that sat on them, having breastplates of
fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the
heads of the horses were as the heads of lions;
and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke
and brimstone. (Revelation 9:17)
If verse 17 is indeed a description of the physical human
soldiers of the Russia and China conglomerate each wear-
ing “breastplates of fire,” then most likely, they will be
scorched to death by the flame coming from their military
suits even before they can go to battle against the armies
of the European beast power.
So it’s a bit odd to assume how the enormous number of
the expendable soldiers of Russia and China would be able
to qualify on the prerequisite to wear a very sophisticated
military suit that is literally burning them. Who could ever
51
survive that? With human soldiers it’s really impossible to
achieve that daring military feat, but not with God’s 200
million angelic host. Let’s consider a forerunner event
during the time of the prophet Elisha:
Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots,
and a great host: and they came by night, and
compassed the city about. And when the servant
of the man of God was risen early, and gone
forth, behold, an host compassed the city both
with horses and chariots. And his servant said
unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we
do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that
be with us are more than they that be with
them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray
thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the
Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he
saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of
horses and CHARIOTS OF FIRE round
about Elisha. (2 Kings 6:14-17)
52
Notice the description of God’s angelic host? It was a fiery
sight to behold them! These are the same armies who sup-
port Michael the great prince to deliver and protect those
who do God’s work in the context of a Book of Remem-
brance (Daniel 12:1). And God sent 200 million of them!
Remember that we are dealing with demon possessed
PCG ministers and members. Do you think God will
not provide His Remembrancers with His own armies? Of
course He would.
God used the symbolism of FIRE in His army to show His
great wrath toward the 25 PCG ministers and their follow-
ers during this Day of the Lord. (Psalms 89:46; Lamen-
tations 2:4; Ezekiel 21:31). This extraordinary army of God
is clearly identified by the prophet Isaiah of which he gave
a clear distinction on what would constitute such an orga-
nized military force:
I HAVE COMMANDED MY SANCTIFIED
ONES, I HAVE ALSO CALLED MY
MIGHTY ONES FOR MINE ANGER, even
them that rejoice in my highness. (Isaiah 13:3)
Look closely at the two distinctive groups mentioned:
God’s sanctified ones and His mighty ones for His an-
ger (the 200 million angelic army with breastplates
of fire in Revelation 9). Jeremiah the prophet further re-
inforced this idea:
The Lord hath opened his armoury, and
hath brought forth the WEAPONS OF HIS
INDIGNATION: for this is the work of the
Lord God of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
(Jeremiah 50:25)
53
But who are the weapons of God’s indignation being re-
ferred to in this prophecy? Isaiah can give us the answer:
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son
of Amoz did see. Lift ye up a banner upon the
high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake
the hand, that they may go into the gates of the
nobles. I HAVE COMMANDED MY SANC-
TIFIED ONES, I HAVE ALSO CALLED MY
MIGHTY ONES FOR MINE ANGER, even
them that rejoice in my highness. THE
NOISE OF A MULTITUDE IN THE
MOUNTAINS, like as of a great people; a
tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of na-
tions gathered together: THE LORD OF
HOSTS MUSTERETH THE HOST OF THE
BATTLE. (Isaiah 13:1-4)
God mustered His vast angelic army with “the noise of a
MULTITUDE in the MOUNTAINS” like what He did when
He exposed “the MOUNTAIN that was FULL of horses and
chariots of fire round about Elisha” (2 Kings 6:17) to do
battle against spiritual Babylon, the Philadelphia
Church of God.
Again, who is at the forefront of this battle? God com-
manded His SANCTIFIED ONES (verse 3)! And where did
they come from?
THEY COME FROM A FAR COUNTRY,
from the end of heaven, even the Lord,
and THE WEAPONS OF HIS INDIGNA-
TION, to destroy the whole land. Howl ye;
for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall
54
come as a destruction from the Almighty. (Isaiah
13:5-6)
GOD’S SANCTIFIED ONES CAME FROM A FAR COUN-
TRY and they are THE WEAPONS OF HIS INDIGNA-
TION!
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Be-
cause ye speak this word, behold, I will make
my words in thy mouth fire, and this peo-
ple wood, and it shall devour them. Lo, I
will bring A NATION upon you FROM FAR, O
house of Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty na-
tion, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose lan-
guage thou knowest not, neither understandest
what they say. (Jeremiah 5:14-15)
God has made the words that came out from His sanctified
ones as FIRE (see also Revelation 11:5). This “ancient na-
tion” is the land of Ophir, the islands of the Philip-
pines whose language the PCG ministers know not nei-
ther understand because they are a foreign nation unto
them and not the typical natural born English speaking
people.
Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all
mighty men. And they shall eat up thine harvest,
and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters
should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine
herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig
trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities,
wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. (Jere-
miah 5:16-17)
55
In God’s eyes, these Gentile nation are all mighty men who
has eaten up the PCG’s portion of the harvest just like what
they did with the work in Jerusalem i.e., the archaeological
dig and the rehabilitation of the Children’s Playground
which should have been theirs in the first place but was
taken from them.
Nevertheless in those days, saith the Lord, I will
not make a full end with you. (Jeremiah 5:18)
God will not make a full end of the PCG. He is reserving
for Himself only ten percent (Revelation 11:13). Some may
ask, why only ten percent? Here is the reason:
A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in
the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the
priests bear rule by their means; and my people
love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end
thereof? (Jeremiah 5:30-31)
As it turns out, 90% of the PCG members love what they
hear from the false prophets in their midst even if they
teach abomination and lies like the COMPARATIVE RE-
LIGION and their own version of the Stone of Destiny
through their so-called “Prayer Rock.”
Now these sanctified ones that came from a far coun-
try are the great and strong people of God who are em-
ployed by Him as His instruments of judgment during the
Day of the Lord as prophesied in the 2nd chapter of the
book of Joel. They are a group known as, the Remem-
brancers.
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm
in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of
56
the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh,
for it is nigh at hand; (Joel 2:1)
God’s “holy mountain” is a symbol for the Philadelphia
Church of God while the “inhabitants” are “the ministers
and members” in it. In terms of greatness and strength,
God describes His sanctified ones as a “great people and a
strong; there hath not been ever the like” (Joel 2:2)!
But why is there no other people that can be compared to
them in all generations of man’s existence? It is because
this is the first time that the Almighty God of the universe
used Gentiles to do His Work, so much so His short and
final Work before the glorified Jesus Christ returns to this
earth! (Romans 9:28-30). The Remembrancers is
God’s army or God’s camp in this great and terrible day of
the Lord whom He strengthens with His own military
might, the 200 million angelic host! (To know more about
this Day of the Lord, read our article, “The Day of the
Lord – The Day of God’s Judgment“)
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them
a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of
Eden before them, and behind them a desolate
wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape
them. The appearance of them is as the appear-
ance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they
run. (Joel 2:3-4)
As God put words into their mouths as FIRE (Jeremiah
5:14), the Remembrancers are being backed up by the
200 million angelic host which is described in several
scriptures having the appearance of horses with THE
NOISE OF A MULTITUDE IN THE MOUNTAINS and a
57
FLAME OF FIRE. (Isaiah 13:4; 2 Kings 6:17; Revelation
9:16-17)
Like the NOISE of chariots ON THE TOPS OF
MOUNTAINS shall they leap, like the noise of a
FLAME OF FIRE that devoureth the stubble, as
a strong people set in battle array. (Joel 2:5)
There is a terrible shaking of God’s Church right now. The
PCG ministers tremble in fear. Their shining is gone. And
darkness covers the whole PCG because of God’s words
that rushes forth against them from the four winds of
heaven.
Before their face the people shall be much
pained: all faces shall gather blackness. They
shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the
wall like men of war; and they shall march every
one on his ways, and they shall not break their
ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they
shall walk every one in his path: and when they
fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
(Joel 2:6-8)
Why are the Remembrancers being described here as an
invincible men of war wherein they are not wounded by
the sword? It’s because they have been given a thousand
year worth of revelations by the Almighty God of the uni-
verse! Who can dare try to refute what they prophesy
about? Can the PCG and the other Church of God groups?
Can the people behind the armstrongismli-
brary.blogspot.com or exitsupportnetwork.com?
God is the one who assembled His GENTILE ARMY
FROM THE FAR EAST who may seem weak in men’s
58
standard, so He gave them His MIGHTY ONES, the 200
million angelic host to back them up.
Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Pre-
pare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the
men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat
your plowshares into swords and your prun-
inghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am
strong. Assemble yourselves, and come,
ALL YE HEATHEN, and gather yourselves to-
gether round about: thither cause THY
MIGHTY ONES to come down, O Lord.
(Joel 3:11)
These Gentile anointed ones gather themselves together
and came up to Mount Zion as saviors (Obadiah 1:21). And
while they were there to do God’s Work, their temporary
dwelling place was strategically situated on the top of
Mount Zion overlooking the Valley of Jehoshaphat below
them to specifically fulfill Joel’s prophecy.
Let the heathen be wakened, and come up
to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I
sit to judge all the heathen round about. (Joel
3:12)
That was the beginning of the Day of the Lord, the Day of
God’s judgment to all of His people who became spiritual
heathen.
59
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will
punish all them which are circumcised with
the uncircumcised; Egypt, and Judah, and
Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab,
and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell
in the wilderness: for all these nations are
uncircumcised, and ALL THE HOUSE OF
ISRAEL ARE UNCIRCUMCISED IN THE
HEART. (Jeremiah 9:25-26)
All Israel which mean, the PCG and including all the
Church of God groups that are in the utmost corners, that
dwell in the wilderness have all become uncircumcised in
the heart. They have all become THE HEATHEN in God’s
eyes now.
60
So He turned His eyes to the Gentiles from the far east
whom He is seeing as the real spiritual Jews that are cir-
cumcised in the heart.
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; nei-
ther is that circumcision, which is outward in the
flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one in-
wardly; and circumcision is that of the
heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter;
whose praise is not of men, but of God.
(Romans 2:28-29)
Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of
the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it
is one God, which shall justify the circum-
cision by faith, and uncircumcision through
faith. (Romans 3:29-30)
God is giving these Gentiles His words of judgment that
devours like fire! Everything is consumed as they pass
thru. They walk and run throughout the city or earth
(God’s Church).
And the bay went forth, and sought to go that
they might walk to and fro through the earth:
and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro
through the earth. So they walked to and
fro through the earth. (Zechariah 6:7)
They shall run to and fro in the city; they
shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon
the houses; they shall enter in at the windows
like a thief. (Joel 2:9)
They are like a thief climbing up on houses and entering in
their Twitter and Facebook windows to get information
61
on what is happening inside God’s church. They are being
given by God the upper hand by providing them intelli-
gence information as they need it.
The earth shall quake before them; the heavens
shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be
dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shin-
ing: (Joel 2:10)
Again, the symbol of the “earth” can pertain to the
“Church,” the “heavens” to the “ministry,” the “sun” being
a symbol of “Mr. Gerald Flurry” while the “moon” is a sym-
bol of the “false ministers,” thus we can paraphrase verse
10 this way:
The Church shall quake before the Remem-
brancers; the PCG ministers shall tremble: Mr.
Gerald Flurry and the false ministers inside the
PCG shall be in spiritual darkness and the bril-
liancy or wisdom of the members shall be re-
moved from them.
Can anyone go against God’s army of nobodies who are be-
ing backed up by His 200 million angelic armies?
And the Lord shall utter his voice before his
army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong
that executeth his word: for the day of
the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can
abide it? (Joel 2:11)
62
FIRE, SMOKE AND BRIMSTONE
By these three was the third part of men
killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the
brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
(Revelation 9:18)
Kill – in Thayer’s Lexicon also means, to destroy, to extin-
guish, abolish; in Strong’s Concordance figuratively to de-
stroy.
Destroy – to damage something so badly that it cannot be
repaired; to defeat someone completely.
Extinguish – to bring to an end; to reduce to ineffective-
ness; to cause to be void
Notice that the purpose of the THREE, i.e., the FIRE, the
SMOKE and the BRIMSTONE, is to damage badly, to re-
duce to ineffectiveness, to destroy and to bring to an end
the work of the 25 PCG ministers and their followers. God
formulated these THREE to defeat them completely and
to cause their work in Edstone to become totally void.
Now what are these symbols of FIRE, SMOKE and BRIM-
STONE really represent in this last end? As what we have
already read in several scriptures that FIRE can de-
note God’s wrath.
How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thyself for ever?
shall thy wrath burn like fire? (Psalms
89:46)
He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood
with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all
that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of
63
the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury
like fire. (Lamentations 2:4)
And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee,
I will blow against thee in the fire of my
wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish
men, and skilful to destroy. (Ezekiel 21:31)
How about SMOKE? What does it represent?
And be ready against the third day: for the third
day the Lord will come down in the sight of all
the people upon mount Sinai… And mount Sinai
was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord de-
scended upon it in fire: and the SMOKE
thereof ascended as the smoke of a fur-
nace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. And
when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and
waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God
answered him by a voice. (Exodus 19:11, 18-19)
SMOKE in the Bible indicates God’s presence. Well
how about the symbol of BRIMSTONE?
Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Go-
morrah BRIMSTONE and fire from the
Lord out of heaven; And he overthrew those
cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of
the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
(Genesis 19:24-25)
BRIMSTONE is a symbol of God’s judgment.
Now this symbolism of FIRE, SMOKE and BRIMSTONE
in Revelation chapter 9 is actually an expression designed
64
by God to call the attention of His own Church, the Phila-
delphia Church of God, to implicitly convey His direct in-
tervention and involvement with His own Church as He
hide Himself from them because of their idolatry, yet He
still manifest His WRATH (symbolized by the FIRE), His
PRESENCE (symbolized by the SMOKE), and His JUDG-
MENT (symbolized by BRIMSTONE) through His strange
Gentile work in the east. (Isaiah 28:21; Isaiah 45:15-16;
Isaiah 54:8; Psalm 89:46)
What are these THREE in terms of the physical aspect of
the work of God’s Remembrancers in this last end? It is
best illustrated in the 2015 BEHIND THE WORK presen-
tation, we have posted in Facebook:
65
Jacob Israel
October 13, 2015 ·
During the 2015 Feast of Tabernacles, the RE-
MEMBRANCERS were able to see and hear the
BEHIND THE WORK presentation focusing on
the story of how The Last End – A Book of
Remembrance started, the group’s participa-
tion on the 2015 Mount Zion Dig in Jerusa-
lem and the establishment of the Herbert
W. Armstrong Remembrancers and
Keepers of God Foundation (ARK of God
Foundation) to revive the end-time Elijah’s
legacy in Jerusalem..
While on the contrary, the 2015 Behind the
Work film of the Philadelphia Church of God fo-
cused on the Edstone work.
Here are the THREE elements as indicated in that Face-
book post
1. The Last End – A Book of Remem-
brance (This is the FIRE which is a symbol of
God’s wrath.)
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Be-
cause ye speak this word, behold, I will make
MY WORDS in thy mouth FIRE, and this
people wood, and it shall devour them.
(Jeremiah 5:14)
Even the PCG ministers have directly associated this Book
of Remembrance with FIRE when they instructed their
66
members to burn the printed copies of the book in their
possession.
2. The establishment of the Herbert W.
Armstrong Remembrancers and Keep-
ers of God Foundation (ARK of God
Foundation). (This is the SMOKE that sym-
bolize God’s presence – Exodus 19:16-18.)
Notice what the Ark of the Covenant is to God:
Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and
said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As
for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of
rest for the ark of the covenant of the
LORD, and for the footstool of our God,
and had made ready for the building: (1 Chroni-
cles 28:2)
King David described the Ark of the Covenant as God’s
footstool, but the prophet Isaiah made some clarifications
on what constitute that footstool:
Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my
throne, and the earth is my footstool:
where is the house that ye build unto me? and
where is the place of my rest? For all those
things hath mine hand made, and all those
things have been, saith the Lord: but to this
man will I look, even to him that is poor
and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at
my word. (Isaiah 66:1-2)
God’s presence is undeniably in the midst of His Remem-
brancers who are “poor and of a contrite spirit, and trem-
67
bles at His word.” We are the NOBODIES of the Philadel-
phia Church of God who FEAR God and not men. It is no
coincidence that we have been named the ARK of God
Foundation because He calls things what they are. And He
is telling us in this last end that we are His footstool!
3. Mount Zion Dig in Jerusalem (This is the
BRIMSTONE which represent God’s judgment)
And saviours shall come up on mount
Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the
kingdom shall be the Lord’s. (Obadiah 1:21)
This BRIMSTONE includes the rehabilitation of Chil-
dren’s Playground with the installation of a kingdom
theme play structure to symbolize “the kingdom shall be
the Lord’s” prophecy.
By these three was the third part of men
killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and
by the brimstone, which issued out of their
mouths. (Revelation 9:18)
So God has given us these THREE – the fire, the smoke
and the brimstone at our disposal to destroy the third part
of men or the 25 men of Ezekiel 8.
For their power is in their mouth, and in their
tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and
had heads, and with them they do hurt. (Revela-
tion 9:19)
This verse indicates the work of the two witnesses whose
power is in their mouths. (Revelation 11:5-6). And notice
that it has a head and a tail. The head is a symbol of being
the leader while the tail is a sign of humility that submits
68
to the rule of the head Deuteronomy 28:13). One is the
HEAD and the other is the TAIL. God’s government is still
very much in place among the two. They walk together in
agreement with the same unity of God the Father and Je-
sus Christ. (Amos 3:3; John 10:30)
To better understand verse 19, let us define some words to
further clarify the thought written therein:
Serpent – G3789 “ophis” from Strong’s Concordance,
Origin: probably from G3700 (through the idea of
sharpness of vision)
G3700 “optanomai” to gaze (that is, with wide open eyes,
as at something remarkable; signifies an earnest but more
continued inspection; and a watching from a distance
Had – in Thayer’s Lexicon can also mean “to hold”
Head – refer to Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:18)
“Had head” should be read as “holding the Head” which
we can better understand its principle through the warn-
ing of the apostle Paul to God’s holy people in Colossae.
(Colossians 1:1-2)
Let no one defraud you of your prize [your free-
dom in Christ and your salvation] by insisting on
mock humility and the worship of (pastors), go-
ing into detail about visions [he claims] he has
seen [to justify his authority], puffed up [in con-
ceit] by his unspiritual mind, and not holding
fast to the Head [of the body, Jesus
Christ], from whom the entire body, supplied
and knit together by its joints and ligaments,
69
grows with the growth [that can come only] from
God. (Colossians 2:18-19, Amplified Bible)
This is a prophecy for God’s people in this last end wherein
God is warning us not to be deceived by the voluntary hu-
mility and worship of pastors (translated from the word
“angel“) who claim to have seen visions or prophecies in
doing a work of vanity in Edstone (Jeremiah 4:15; Hosea
9:8; Jeremiah 14:18).
The 25 PCG pastors involved in the Edstone work are
so puffed up in conceit by their carnal mind to reli-
giously justify their authority by using God’s government
in a deceitful mock humility, which is an ambiguous way
of tooting their own horn, i.e., they promote, boast or brag
about their own abilities, skills, success, achievements
and even their genealogies, yet in a very subtle way of still
appearing humble before the membership. Thus, the
FEAR was automatically diverted to them and not to God
anymore, so the apostle Paul said that they are actually
NOT HOLDING THE HEAD, JESUS CHRIST! God’s peo-
ple should have learned to follow their leaders only if they
follow Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1). The Eternal has
chosen Jerusalem but these 25 carnal minded PCG pas-
tors chose another estate. (Zechariah 3:2)
The TAIL can also refer to the “weaker part of something”
which could pertain also to the members in the ARK of
God Foundation. Notice that the TAIL have a SHARP-
NESS OF VISION like a watchman that watches from a
distance whose eyes are wide open.
“For their power is in their mouth” – this is the same as
what we can read about the two witnesses.
70
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth
out of their mouth, and devoureth their ene-
mies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in
this manner be killed. (Revelation 11:5)
What again is this “fire” proceeding out of the mouth of
these two witnesses? Is it really a literal fire?
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Be-
cause ye speak this word, behold, I will make
my words in thy mouth fire, and this peo-
ple wood, and it shall devour them. (Jere-
miah 5:14)
The FIRE being mentioned in Revelation chapter 11 is
God’s words that is coming from the mouth of His two wit-
nesses! And if any man will hurt these two, God will revert
the same judgment to those people that throw such evil at
them.
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not
in the days of their prophecy: and have power
over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite
the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
(Revelation 11:6)
The two witnesses have the power to shut the heaven or
the ministry. What can this mean? Let’s first define the
word, “shut.”
Shut – in Thayer’s Lexicon, metaphorically:
• to shut up compassion so that it is like a thing inac-
cessible to one, to be devoid of pity towards one
• obstruct the entrance into the kingdom of heaven
71
The two witnesses have the power of authority to shut up
compassion on the PCG ministry even to obstruct their en-
trance to God’s kingdom or of being born into the family
of God because He is using them in this last end to pro-
claim judgment during the Day of the Lord with the proph-
ecies they are declaring known also THE RAIN. (Joel 2:23;
Zechariah 10:1)
Rain is a symbol of God’s revelation. We have already
caused the PCG ministry’s prophecies to become of no sig-
nificance because THE RAIN has been withheld from
them. Just look at their prophecy concerning King Jero-
boam whom they associate with President Donald
Trump. That prophecy will not come to pass according to
their own private interpretation because President
Trump has already declared Jerusalem as the
capital of Israel.
Remember that King Jeroboam did not want the Israelites
to focus on Jerusalem so he introduced a new kind of wor-
ship in another place to replace the people’s thoughts on
Jerusalem (1 Kings 12:26-29). President Trump is not the
fulfillment of King Jeroboam as the PCG suggests, it is Ste-
phen Flurry who perfectly fits the description.
Every understanding of their prophecy now is no longer
valid which can be likened to not having rain in the midst
of the PCG. They are now suffering spiritual drought. Now
look at the effect of the fire that is devouring the PCG. They
have officially announced through their website that they
will resume their dig in the Ophel Mound:
After listening to Mr. Flurry’s plans to publicize
her work, Dr. Mazar informed the group
72
that an hour before the meeting, she had
finally received a license from the Israel
Antiquities Authority for a three-month
excavation on the Ophel, most likely com-
mencing in November or December. She
had been trying to obtain a license for over a
year. She expressed her hope that the smaller
Ophel dig will open the door to excavate more of
the area that includes what she believes to be
King Solomon’s palace.

milial-meeting-with-archaeologist-eilat-
mazar-in-jerusalem
In their great elation to what has transpired with the meet-
ing with Dr. Mazar, they even posted in their Twitter ac-
count a photo of her with Mr. Gerald Flurry having a cap-
tion that reads: “You need to have vision to do a dig in Je-
rusalem.” But what they failed to recognize is that, “They
need to have God on their side to do a dig in Jerusalem.”
The big question is this: How can the PCG be able to re-
sume that “three month excavation on the Ophel” consid-
ering what they themselves have written about in their ar-
ticle posted in their Watch Jerusalem website entitled,
73
“UNESCO Wants to Stop Archaeology in Ancient
Jerusalem”? Here are some excerpts from that article:
Section five of the October 13 UNESCO resolu-
tion reads,
[UNESCO] Deeply deplores the failure
of Israel, the occupying Power, to cease
the persistent excavations and works in
East Jerusalem particularly in and
around the Old City, and reiterates its
request to Israel, the occupying Power,
to prohibit all such works in conformity
with its obligations under the provi-
sions of the relevant UNESCO conven-
tions, resolutions and decisions .…
74
Notice that the resolution is not just for protect-
ing the Haram al-Sharif itself, but for preventing
the “persistent excavations and works in
East Jerusalem, particularly in and
around the Old City.”
UNESCO and its Arab sponsors are resolved to
shut down all archaeological excavations in and
around the Old City of Jerusalem.

lem.co.il/2016/11/01/unesco-wants-to-stop-ar-
chaeology-in-ancient-jerusalem/
Will the PCG break be inclined to disregard that resolution
and resume with their dig on the Ophel? It will add fuel to
the already fiery and volatile situation in that contested
area of the Temple Mount. To make things much worse,
President Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem being the
capital of Israel on December 6 would make any excava-
tion and works in East Jerusalem to result in a violent rage
among the Muslims nearby. This is a very strong evidence
that the prophecy in Hosea is coming to pass.
When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Ju-
dah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the
Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he
not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. (Ho-
sea 5:13)
Stephen and Brad is already seeing their spiritual sickness
in the context of their Edstone work and the PCG’s wound
in the context of their work in Jerusalem. The real reason
why Stephen went to King Jareb or Wormwood (John
Macdonald) in Australia this 2017 feast and at the same
75
time sending his father to England and Israel is actually to
mend their sickness and their wound which they have ac-
quired as a result of the work of the Remembrancers that
is bringing affliction on them. That is what the apostle
John’s vision in verse 19 is all about concerning this sec-
ond woe:
For their power is in their mouth, and in their
tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and
had heads, and with them they do hurt. (Revela-
tion 9:19)
Paraphrasing verse 19, it can be clearly understood this
way:
For the power of the two witnesses is in their
mouth from which they utter God’s judgment,
and also in their humility they implement God’s
government by example to the members who are
supporting them: one being the head and the
other as a tail to resemble the sharpness of the
vision of holding to their HEAD, Jesus Christ.
Moreover, with that vision in mind they do dam-
age to the 25 men of Ezekiel 8. (Revelation 9:19)
But what is the expected result of the work of God’s
anointed ones on the PCG? Will they finally repent toward
God?
And the rest of the men which were not killed by
these plagues yet repented not of the works
of their hands, that they should not worship
devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass,
and stone, and of wood: which neither can see,
nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of
76
their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their
fornication, nor of their thefts. (Revelation 9:20-
21)
Even though the Remembrancers have done their part in
fulfilling to deliver God’s judgment in the form of FIRE,
SMOKE and BRIMSTONE unto the PCG, they have still
chosen to continue with their abominations in God’s eyes.
They continue to go down even deeper into the bottomless
pit of confusion with their comparative religion. Instead of
repenting toward God, these 25 PCG ministers introduced
the study of other religions and their gods like Buddhism,
Hinduism, Islam, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, Shintoism,
Confucianism, African religion with its black magic and
witchcraft, etc. So it means that the PCG has acquired all
the gods of these religions.
On top of that, as prophesied, the PCG ministers will still
continue to rob God’s people of their eternal lives, not to
mention swindling their hard earned money which they
give as tithes and offering believing that their ministers are
leading them to God. And what is God’s view on this?
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he
which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that
is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he
that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I
come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give
every man according as his work shall be. (Rev-
elation 22:11-12)
