1.)	This is The Obedient Church of God broadcasting worldwide. 
2.)	“I can tell by your eyes that you’ve probably been crying forever,” Yes, Father has been struggling with us for 6,000 years.
3.)	“And the stars in the sky don’t mean nothing to you, they’re a mirror.” Stars in the sky mean nothing,” You can’t get Genesis 1:14, the first book in the Bible, correct.
4.)	“I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart. If I preach to you a little bit longer, if I preach, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart?”
5.)	“If I stand all alone…” The Obedient Church of God is the Romans 9:28 work, the only church in the world that doesn’t move the Sabbath Day to Friday in half of the world.
6.)	“I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart. If I preach to you just a little bit longer, if I preach won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart, God’s heart, God’s heart.?”
7.)	Bonjour, Paree, France sez six heures après le midi, l’heure du diner au, France, 6 P.M. suppertime in Paris; 9 A.M.on the West Coast, Los Angeles; 12 noon on the East Coast: supper time, breakfast time, lunch time, the perfect time for our spiritual feeding today.
8.)	“I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart; if I stay here just a little bit longer, if I stay here won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart?” 
9.)	Yes, won’t you listen? To God’s heart? Genesis 1:14, “Lights will mark days.” That tells you when to start, just like a light goes off on a race track and tells you to start the race. The same thing with the Sabbath: when the sun goes down, that starts the seventh-day. It couldn’t be any simpler than that. 
10.)	 Genesis 1:14, you have to wait until the sun goes down in the other half of the world before you start the Sabbath, or you end-up “picking- up sticks” on God’s Sabbath--working on God’s Sabbath. You know that the man who “picked-up sticks” had to be put to death. 
11.)	 Who said that? Who said the man who “picked-up sticks” had to be put to death? God said that. That is how serious the Sabbath is. All of you Churches of God are breaking the Sabbath in half the world; we are the Romans 9:28 work. “We are the Romans 9:28 short work,” and the facts prove it.
12.)	 I’m telling you to stop celebrating to the gods and goddesses; stop putting a turkey on your table on Turkey-god Day; you have 364 other days to put a turkey on your table but not on Turkey-god Day. Remember the Bible told you do not add a day, Deuteronomy 12:32. 
13.)	 Don’t preach any other gospel, Galatians 1:6 and Galatians 1:9. Jeremiah 10:2, “Do not learn the way of the Gentile.” Turkey-god Day is the way of the Gentile; Turkey-god Day is adding an extra day to the Feast of Tabernacles. The Bible says do not add or subtract a day in your worship of God, Deuteronomy 12:32.
14.)	 Ezekiel 46:3, you shall worship on New Moon Day; why can’t these ministers follow their Bible? What’s wrong with them? Well, I have the answer. I dug it out. 
15.)	 Remember Peter was so zealous for Yeshua, but Peter denied Yeshua three times, “three times.” Now why was that? The answer is because Peter didn’t have the Holy Spirit; it wasn’t given until Pentecost. Therefore, all of you ministers better think of getting re-baptized, “all of you need to get re-baptized” because you refuse to obey the Bible, and you don’t have the strength to obey the Bible.
16.)	  So like Peter you have to have the Holy Spirit given to you so you start obeying the Bible. You ministers have to be re-baptized, and have the laying on of hands. Peter couldn’t follow his own words that he would never deny Christ; and you cannot follow the Bible’s words: Deuteronomy 16:16, three times a year you shall appear at a feast-- Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
17.)	 What’s wrong with you ministers? You don’t have the Holy Spirit. That’s what is wrong. You can read Deuteronomy 16:16; you can count up to three. What is wrong with you? Why don’t you preach Deuteronomy 16:16? 
18.)	 Why don’t you preach Ezekiel 46:3? You shall worship on the New Moon Day. Why do you move the Sabbath Day in half of the world because of the phony International Date Line? Why do you celebrate Mother-goddess Day and tell your people it is fine if they choose to celebrate the goddess, the mother of all the gods and goddesses in the spring, March 21st festival? 
19.)	 Then you have the longest day of the year, Sky Father’s Day, the god of the sky. God the Father, indeed, founded the firmament in the sky. Then you have Turkey-god Day. 
20.)	  One thing leads to another. First you have Mother-goddess Day and then you say, oh, I might as well have a day for my father too, so you have Sky Father’s Day. We can’t forget about God, so let’s have Turkey-god Day. See how a little leaven leavens the whole loaf. 
21.)	 Then when you read in your Bible in Revelation anyone, all you ministers, who teaches a lie, in Revelation 21:27, “anyone who teaches a lie” (or causes a lie) will not be in the Kingdom. Revelation 22:15 says, “anyone who practices a lie,” all the members, will not be in the Kingdom.
22.)	 So I figured it out, just like Peter couldn’t follow Yeshua and he denied Him three times, you are denying Yeshua and His Bible: you are denying Ezekiel 46:3 to worship on the New Moons; you are denying Deuteronomy 16:16 that you shall appear at three feasts in a year; and you are denying Genesis 1:14 where it says, Lights will mark days, not phony International Date Lines.
23.)	 You ministers need to be re-baptized! You have no power, you have no effects, you are just a bunch of motor-mouths, saying that you are apostles; well, an apostle would follow God’s Bible.
You can’t be an apostle if you are not following God’s Bible. So there you have it.

24.)	 We have a fantastic dynamite service for you. With Christmas coming up and with all the new listeners we’re getting, we are going to have to tell you the truth about Christmas, and “boy” are you going to find out today the truth about Christmas. You are going to find out everything you need to know about Christmas, but were afraid to ask. You know about the book on everything you need to know about sex but were afraid to ask, well today we are going to be telling you about Christmas. 
25.)	 Did you know the Christmas tree stands erect for the penis; and the wreaths around the bottom of the tree represent the vagina; did you know that the round balls on the tree all represent testicles; and did you know that the tinsel on the tree represents the ejaculate sperm; that’s the plain truth.  We’ll tell you everything you wanted to know about Christmas, but were afraid to ask.
26.)	 And we’ll tell you more about this world’s system. If there is time, we’ll tell you about the ink horn and the one man with an inkhorn. If we have time, we’ll tell you about what is going on with the genetic roulette of corporations and how there will be a time of trouble greater than ever with our food destroying us. 
27.)	 We’ll tell you about the European Union, the African Union, the Pacific Union, and the American Union. We’ll tell you about trans-Pacific partnership; we’ll tell you about the history of the experimentation on citizens in the United States; we’ll tell you about outrageous tactics of the police and what to do if you are stopped by the police.
28.)	 We have so much information here for you today. I hope you stay tuned so that you can learn from the short work of Romans 9:28 that The Obedient Church of God is doing, and no other ministry on the face of this earth is telling you that you have to be righteous, you have to be holy. 
29.)	 Right on our Internet page, home page, it says, “God’s train don’t carry nothin’ but the righteous and the holy.” Revelation 22:14 says, “Blessed are they who keep His commandments…” KJV; “washed their robes” in the New Revised Standard Version. Wake up so you can be obedient so that you can be saved by grace through faith because if you do not have the actions, your words can’t save you. You have to have the actions. [righteousness=right actions]
 
30.)	 We want to enter the Throne Room and in order to do that we start with a prayer to introduce ourselves to Father. All the churches do not even have their services right; in their order of the services they start off with the hymns. Well, first you introduce yourself to the person, first you introduce yourself to the audience, and then you sing. You don’t sing and then introduce yourself.
31.)	 So let’s introduce ourselves to Father today, this holy Sabbath Day: all please rise, face the north heaven, arms outstretched in obedience and subservience, head bowed, and eyes closed.
32.)	 “Almighty and most merciful loving Father, we thank you for your Sabbath Day; we thank you for the knowledge and wisdom to apply what we see in the Bible; we thank you for the knowledge and wisdom that you have given The Obedient Church of God;
33.)	 “We pray that the ministers get re-baptized because they just can’t follow your Bible; we wish all our friends, acquaintances, and indeed, all the former Worldwide Church of God members would soften their hearts and turn to you. In that venue perhaps you could help soften their hearts. If they refuse, then harden their hearts and into the Tribulation they go.   
34.)	 “Father, we ask you to look after the brethren in Pakistan, the 200 plus of them, and we can only do so much for them; they are in a dangerous area so help them and protect them.
35.)	 “Today bless the services, both the speaking and the hearing, and especially on the video tapes; bless the understanding so people can understand the truth that light shall mark days so they can repent, and they will keep your holy New Moon Day, Ezekiel 46:3. It is so clear to us, Father.
36.)	 “Help us to get the word out, and we ask all this in Yeshua’s holy, righteous name, our soon arriving King, Yeshua ha Mashiach, the King of the earth; in His name we ask it. Amen.” 

37.)	 Now that we are in the Throne Room, take your 1934-worded hymnal; we got the last copy of the words, the last printed book, and then we printed up a hymnal for all of you. Let’s turn to page #32, and that’s page #117 in other hymnals. We use the 1934 hymnal because the words are more poignant; they are more direct. So sing out; don’t embarrass yourself because this is worship, “worship.” 

38.)	 Father is worthy of being worshipped. Don’t you dare sit on your “duff” and not worship Father. Ask Him to save you, and tell Him you love Him. Why wouldn’t you tell Him that you love Him? “Thee will I love with all my might.” Tell Him. If you are going to sit there and not do it, I pity you. So sing out, page 32, “Thee Will I Love O Lord My God.” I’ll count it in: 1-2-3- .
39.)	  Yes indeed. “With the Almighty on my side, their lofty walls I fearless scaled. Thee will I love O Lord my might.” 
40.)	 This work of Romans 9:28 is not ours; it is God’s. There is no other work on the face of this planet that is preaching what we are preaching. That’s the facts. We are telling everyone not to move the Sabbath Day to Friday in Australia and New Zealand, in China, in Japan, and indeed         all of Asia. 
41.)	 Turn ahead now to page 121, “Praise the Eternal with a Psalm;” page 62 in other hymnals. And if you ever wonder why I only count to three when it is 4-4 time, it is because that is the way it is done in a recording studio so that the #4 coming from your lips does not go on the recording. So if you are counting to 4 in a studio setting, or in a setting like this, it is 1-2-3-  sing. You never say the 4.
42.)	 Now “Praise the Eternal with a Psalm,” and sing out because it says, “raise the chorus.” Don’t embarrass yourself before God. Amen to that. “Praise the Eternal with a Psalm.” Could it get any better than that? 
43.)	 “Blessed and Happy is the Man,” page #88, and page #1 in other hymnals; “Blessed and happy is the man who does never walk astray” with Turkey–god Day, with adding a day; God said that you shall not add. “Blessed and happy is the man who does never walk astray.” You have to sing out; you will want to reflect on whether you are walking astray or not. All together. 
44.)	 Yes, they are like “chaff” before the wind driven to and fro because they don’t follow their Bible, every jot and title. So now there are hundreds of offshoot congregations from the Worldwide Church of God because they walked astray from their Bible; they walked astray from Deuteronomy 16:16. Three times a year you are to appear before God.
45.)	 Ezekiel 46:3 says, “You shall worship on New Moon Day.” No Mother-goddess Day allowed; no Sky Father’s Day allowed; no Turkey-god Day allowed; no moving the Sabbath to Friday. Could it be any clearer? 
46.)	 So welcome to the “short work” of Romans 9:28, coinciding with the ten Days of Awe; that means that it will go on ten years. And that means Yeshua should return without too much delay by 2019. 
47.)	 It is amazing that it is now going to be 2013, and the “seven years” have not, “not, not” started yet, contrary to what one minister said in his article titled “Who Are the 144,000?” He said the seven years have started and he has that in print. They haven’t. They have not started. I’ll tell you when they start. You’ll know.
48.)	 One big clue will be when the daily sacrifices start. You don’t need a temple for the daily sacrifices to start; all you have to do is look in Ezra where they had the daily sacrifice without the temple. So to help that minister, that minister should read Ezra and see that they gave a daily sacrifice without a temple. One of the keys is the daily sacrifice starting [in Jerusalem.] 
49.)	  We want you to know what is going on in the world, and what is going on spiritually.
50.)	 It is not just I accept God, or there is some type of universality of ecumenicalism because Revelation 3:5 says that he who overcomes, the same (person) shall be clothed in white raiment, and I will not blot his name out of the Book of Life. I will confess his name before my Father and before His angels.
So it has to be someone who is overcoming himself and his propensity to disobey, or else he will be blotted out of the Book of Life.
51.)	 And remember this also represents the promise of white clothing. In Revelation 19:8 it is the righteous acts of the saints. That is in the New American Standard Bible, it is rendered as the “righteous acts of the saints.” 
52.)	 White is the color of purity as opposed to the five virgins that are “kicked out” of the marriage supper, aren’t even let in because they are soiled. They defiled their garments. So they were virgins all right, but then they defiled their garments with Turkey-god Day; Mother-goddess Day; Sky Father’s Day; moving the Sabbath Day to Friday in half the world; refusing to celebrate New Moon Day: Ezekiel 46:3 says “you shall worship on New Moon Day.” Very clear.
53.)	 Deuteronomy 16:16 is equally clear: Three, “three” times a year you shall appear before God at a place where He sets you apart. 
54.)	 If the disciples did not appear on Pentecost, they would not have the gift of the Holy Spirit. You have to appear "when" the "Moadim" are, when the “appointed times” of God are. You can’t appear “helter-skelter” at any time you want. 
55.)	 You use an averaging calendar for your feast days: you are one day early, two days late, two days early, or one day late. When the train leaves the station, it is going to leave without you if you are a day late or if you are a day early and then go home. You haven’t caught the right train obviously.
56.)	 The Book of Life is the Bible, and if you don’t follow the Book of Life, you cannot expect to be in the First Resurrection; it is impossible for you to be in the First Resurrection because the people in the First Resurrection have to teach the people in the Second Resurrection.  If you haven’t learned it and inculcated every word of the Bible into your being, you can’t be used. “You can’t be used.”
57.)	God doesn’t have hirelings. He want people that actually follow the Bible and show it over a period of time that they will follow and that they will, “they will” do what is written in the Bible. There isn’t any ecumenicalism; there is only one door, there is one gate; there is only one way, the narrow way; not the broad way of ecumenicalism where everybody just says, I believe Jesus is Lord, therefore, I’m going to be going into the Kingdom. It doesn’t work like that at all.
58.)	 So, you don’t want to make your election sure? Do you want to keep on ignoring New Moon Day? Do you want to keep on ignoring it? Do you want to ignore Deuteronomy 16:16, three times a year you shall appear? Do you want to ignore Deuteronomy 12:32? You won’t be in the Kingdom. I say that on the authority of the Bible because you will have your name blotted out of the Book of Life.
59.)	  The Bible says that the righteous acts of the saints, Revelation 19:8, (“clothed with fine linen” is rendered as “righteous deeds of the saints.”), [is doing right]; it is not being disobedient. In order to be righteous, you have to be obedient; you can’t be willfully disobedient and say you are righteous. It is an oxymoron. It won’t happen.
60.)	 You have to be obedient and you have to overcome in order to be clothed in white raiment, Revelation 3:5.
61.)	 It is so sad because we have it in the Old Testament all the way through for a witness that they weren’t allowed [to enter the “Promised Land;”] they spent 40 years in the wilderness marching around. Psalm 69:27 says, “Add iniquity unto their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness.”
62.)	 Psalm 69:28, “Let them be blotted out of the Book of the Living, and not be written up with the righteous.” Who are the righteous? They are the ones who are obedient; we are obedient because we love God. We don’t have some type of superiority; we do the work because we love God. 
63.)	 Are you going to take words away from the Bible? Are you going to tell you ministers, you “sinisters,” are you going to tell your members not to celebrate New Moon Day? Then Revelation 22:19 applies to you. “And if any man shall take away from the words of the Book of this prophecy, and that refers back to Revelation 21:27 of teaching a lie, God shall take away his part of the Book of Life.
64.)	 If you teach a lie, how can you expect to be in the Kingdom? Hey you ministers, give your head a shake!
65.)	 If you teach contrary to Ezekiel 46:3, you cannot expect to be in the Kingdom. If you teach contrary to Ezekiel 46:3, how can you expect to be in the Kingdom because you are teaching a lie, and Revelation 21:27 says that anyone that teaches a lie, will be outside, is “kicked-out” of the Kingdom.
66.)	 Revelation 3:6, “He who hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.” I’m telling you that if you are a minister, and you cannot apply Deuteronomy 16:16, three times a year [appear before the Lord], get re-baptized because there is something wrong with you. 
67.)	 Same thing, if you can’t celebrate New Moon Day, a clear command, “You shall worship on New Moon Day,” you’ll have to get re-baptized because there is something wrong with you. 
68.)	 And if you can’t follow Genesis 1:14, “…lights…will mark days;” and you want to follow a phony International Date Line that in 1883 jumped the day ahead,[ and you keep the Sabbath] on Friday, you are going to have to get re-baptized so that you can understand that you wait for the sun to go down .
69.)	. God gave us the Pakistani Church so that we have the proof that we not only talk the talk, we walk the walk. When we started with the Pakistani Church they were not,  "not, not” keeping the Sabbath properly; they were following the phony International Date Line. We explained to them, did studies with them, and showed them that in 1883 the day jumped ahead.
70.)	 Indeed, if you fly out of L.A.X. (Los Angeles International Airport) and head towards Austalia, poof, like magic, the day jumps ahead. Well, the day doesn’t jump ahead. You have to wait for the sun to set [after sixth-day for the Sabbath].
71.)	 So if you ministers out there, if you cannot find the strength to obey God’s Genesis 1:14, that lights will mark days, then you must get re-baptized because just like Peter didn’t have the strength to follow Yeshua and witness for him, Peter had to wait for Pentecost for the Holy Spirit to be given to him. Then Peter had the strength. Then he could do the work. 
72.)	 But you “sinisters” don’t have the strength as evidenced by your weakness, your propensity for having falsehood, one falsehood after another: you have Mother-goddess Day; Turkey-god Day; Sky Father’s Day; moving the Sabbath Day to Friday in half the world; disfellowshipping a member who keeps the Sabbath Day on the seventh-day in Australia.
73.)	 Boy, you better repent of that one because it says that better a millstone be around your neck and you be thrown into the sea if you cause one of the little ones to stumble, you lying ministers. And I say you are lying on the authority of God’s Bible where it clearly states that you shall not change your word; and a double curse is pronounced upon you if you preach any other gospel than of the First Century.
74.)	 They didn’t follow any phony International Date Line in the First Century, nor did they celebrate Mother-goddess Day, Sky Father’s Day, Turkey-god Day. Well. “Add inquity unto their inquity” in Psalm 69:27-28, and “let them not come into thy righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the Book of the Living, and not be written up with the righteous.” Give your head a shake.
75.)	  Do you willfully not want to repent? I’m sorry for you. Get re-baptized. If you can’t find the strength to repent? Get re-baptized. Baptism is through repentance, and if you can’t repent, get re-baptized and petition God to have the Holy Spirit given to you by the laying on of hands.
76.)	 And then, maybe then your sinful church Meredith, your sinful church Luker, your sinful church Dankenbring, your sinful church Brisby can start following God’s ways and stop transgressing God’s law. You are a sinful church, Church of God the Eternal because you are transgressing God’s laws. 
77.)	 You are transgressing God’s law by not having New Moon Day, by using an averaging calendar, and showing up on God’s feasts, God’s moadim, “appointed times,” one day early, two days late, two days early, one day late. 
78.)	 You are a sinful church Church of God the Eternal that is willfully transgressing God’s law; and that goes for the Philadelphia Church of Flurry, and that goes for the United Church of God, the Living Church of God; you are a sinful church because you are transgressing God’s law by using a phony averaging calendar.
79.)	 Don’t give me this junk about the Pharisees sitting in Moses’ seat, and the scribes, because they are just the clerks; they can’t rewrite the laws. But they are supposed to tell you the laws; and they are supposed to help you to apply the laws in your life, not change the laws to something where they are one day early, two days late, two days early, one day late. That will get you into the Lake of Fire as a disobedient brat, you ministers.
80.)	 Your sinful church is transgressing God’s laws; you cannot deny it. Lights will mark days, Genesis 1:14; appear three times a year, Deuteronomy 16:16; worship on New Moon Day, Ezekiel 46:3; and you deny that you are breaking God’s Sabbath in half of the world. So sad.
81.)	 It is so sad that you Church of God the Eternal are a sinful church; the same goes for the Living Church of God; the same goes for United Church of God; the same goes for the Philadelphia Church of God; the same goes for Triumph Prophetic Ministry who, indeed, disfellowshipped a man for celebrating the Sabbath on the seventh-day in Australia. [You ministers] had better get re-baptized.
 
82.)	Well, let us give you some news. It is predicted that consumer spending will be dropping by $200 billion in 2013 when the tax expire, and when the payroll taxes go up 2%, and when the emergency unemployment benefits go back to 26 weeks from the current 99 weeks that it is now; there is $110 billion cut coming in citizens programs; and you’ll get a $2,000 a year increase in taxes. Unbelievable
83.)	 So I suggest that you prepare, and I’ve been telling you for 3-4 years to put food away. I told you to get pails; seal the pails and I told you to get wire mesh to put around the pail so the mice couldn’t even chew into the pails unless they are metal pails or a 45 gallon or 55 gallon metal barrel of food. It is going to be rough came January 1st, 2013; January 15th when the “tomato hits the fan.” 
84.)	 Now we want you to be safe from this crash, and remember this crash is engineered to bring in the New World order, and that is the reason that they can’t agree and the reason why they will not have the economy recover. 
85.)	 There are going to be price increases; they already have down-sized everything you buy in the store so you don’t notice how much the price increase is. [For instance] jars of blueberry jam are tinier than they ever were. Bars of bath-sized Ivory soap are smaller now. That’s how corporations are trying to cover costs. So it is already falling apart, “it is already falling apart.”
86.)	 Be careful; be prudent; hunker down. That’s all we can do and pray and draw closer to God.
87.)	 One of the facts that I come upon is that the oceans have risen ½ inch in the last twenty years, yes, one-half inch rise in the last twenty years. You know that the storms are going to become more severe because of global warming; anybody who says there isn’t any global warming is a liar. All you have to do is look at the polar ice caps to see that they are melting at a phenomenal rate. And if you say there isn’t any global warming, you are a deceived person, deceived by the media.
88.)	 Anybody who watches media T.V. knows less that the people who don’t watch any television news at all. So you have to realize you should get your information off of the Internet. There is no hope for you to know what is going on with catastrophic climate change unless you get the information off the Internet.
89.)	 The average global temperature increase is going to be 3.6 degrees Celsius, and anything over 2 degrees Celsius is beyond the danger zone. So it is going to go on producing severe drought, and intensified storms; well, look at what happened to the East Coast. [“Sandy”] was the greatest storm they have ever seen. It entered New York State and they had never seen so large a storm covering so many states at the same time.
90.)	 Today we are seeing a rise in the earth’s temperature, and that is going to lead to basically a “weather bomb,” is what I like to phrase it as. Cities will keep on being inundated and destroyed. What happened in the summer were the tornadoes that wiped out one city. It is terrifying what is going to be happening on the earth were men’s hearts will fail them form fear.
91.)	 We have to realize that we are in the birth pangs, “we are in the birth pangs,” and things are going to be getting worse and worse and worse and worse. And there is going to be more and more trouble in the world. 
92.)	 There will be more and more lies with things like General Petraeus being removed because he wouldn’t cooperate with the politicians; so they tried to dig up some charges on him to get him out of office, out of the military so that the generals cannot stop the politicians. That’s why they got rid of Petraeus; they were worried about him because he had too much power. 
93.)	 The same thing with Patton; they got rid of him too. They have to get rid of the generals so that the politicians can control the people.
94.)	 The corporations continue to make billions and billions of dollars in profits while paying no income tax at all. None whatsoever. I’ve given you information on that. In fact, they get subsidies from the government. Exxon oil gets subsidies from the government; not only did Exxon pay no income tax, it gets your money in subsidies. How do you like that? Could it be any worse? With evil does waxing worse and worse and worse and worse.
95.)	The average worker’s pay is somewhere now $13.00 [an hour]; the minimum wage is $7.25-$7.35; and the CEO’s pay? $25,000.00 a day. Bankers are paying themselves billions in wages while the people who give the bankers the money by putting the money in the bank, are getting kicked out of their homes, and it goes on and on and on and on.
96.)	 We are here to tell you that your only hope is Yeshua. That is why we are broadcasting and telling you about world events, telling you to rend your heart and not your garment, Joel 2:12.
97.)	 Paul said that you are going to expose their fruitless deeds of darkness. Paul commanded you to expose them: Mother-goddess Day, Turkey-god Day, Sky Father’s Day, and moving the Sabbath-day to Friday in half of the world. Ephesians 5:11-13 tells that everything exposed in the light becomes visible for it is light that makes everything visible.  
98.)	 I hope that your ministers are going to have an epiphany with this broadcast so that you can have a transformation and can start obeying your Bible. And if you ministers have to be re-baptized, I suggest that you do it soon.
99.)	  And if you don’t start following Deuteronomy 16:16, appearing three times a year; and if you don’t follow New Moon Day, Ezekiel 46:3; and if you don’t stop moving God’s Sabbath Day to Friday in half the world; and if you don’t stop Mother-goddess Day, Turkey-god Day, and Sky Father’s Day; if you don’t stop learning the way of the Gentile, you will not be in the Kingdom of God.
100.)	Your iniquity will be your ruin. There is only one way to avoid your tragedy, you ministers, and that is to turn to God with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning, and rend your heart, Joel 2:12-13.
101.)	God thunders, “Therefore I will judge you…everyone according to his ways.” Who said that? God said that. I didn’t say that. You are going to be judged according to your ways. “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so iniquity will not be your ruin,” Ezekiel 18:30-31.
102.)	All you ministers, cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed and get yourselves a new heart, and a new spirit, for why should you die? Get re-baptized. Get a new heart. Get a new spirit. All you members don’t let these “sinisters” steal your very soul, your very being by them telling you that they are not sinning by them lying.
103.)	In the same way they lied about Armstrong never committing incest when Armstrong himself admitted it. Yes, Herbert Armstrong admitted he committed incest, because any man that was told,  challenged, accused of raping [his daughter] Dorothy for ten years, any normal man would scream out I did no such thing. You’re a liar! 
104.)	What did Armstrong say? “Sometimes I wasn’t as close to God as I should have been.” That’s an admission, “that’s an admission.” Any of you ministers who are continuing to cover that up are breaking the ninth commandment, and you will be thrown into the Lake of Fire for deliberately breaking the ninth commandment, “Thou shalt not bear false witness,” and you are bearing false witness. 
105.)	  This is the Romans 9:28 work. God has set this up, and I didn’t want to do this work; but I was “kicked” into it from situations for obeying God by not adding a day to His Feast of Tabernacles; I got “kicked-out” of Triumph Prophetic Ministry. Yes, for obeying God I was put out. Well, where could I go? 
106.)	I had been through six other churches, and I had even marked other ministers for their disobedience; and the sixth church Triumph Prophetic Ministry “kicks me out” and there is nowhere to go. So I had to start The Obedient Church of God. Pretty easy: To Church of God. How do you find The Obedient Church of God? You just look To Church of God. It couldn’t be simpler than that.                                                                                                                                                                                         
107.)	We have been blessed by God. We were given ownership of the name TheWorldTomorrow.org so it seems that more and more ex-Worldwide members are tripping over the name TheWorldTomorrow.org when they are using their Google search, and lo and behold, we pop up, and our page pops-up and there is TheWorldTomorro.org. God is doing something here.    
108.)	 This is the Romans 9:28 work.

109.)	I want to get into the message about X-mas, and I have more announcements that I can tell you about. Maybe I’ll just give you a tid bit. You have seen Benny Hin on television; he is a Pentecostal type preacher who waves his hand and people fall down. That is actually a Tai Chi form of a “death touch” that was invented by Grand Master George Dillman and it deals with the yang-chi and the ying-chi and they have done tests on people using electro cardiograms hooked up to people when the  

Master martial artist who is familiar with the “death touch” doesn’t even touch the person but just waves his hand, and the people fall down.  
110.)	What is happening is that their body-systems can be shut off temporarily, and they are using energy to interfere with the person’s nervous system and when the scientists put on the electrocardiogram on the people that are being used as “guinea pigs” with a simulated “death touch” without even touching them. 
111.)	The people’s blood pressure drops dramatically, and their heart rate drops dramatically, and their breathing drops dramatically, and of course they fall down. So that is what Benny Hin has learned, and that is what Benny Hin is doing along with all of his demons; and if Benny Hin has one demon, he has a thousand. He has a legion of demons.  
112.)	So when Benny Hin does his move on that person, it actually decreases the blood flow, which is scientifically proven, down from 110 beats to 62 beats per minute to all the internal organs. So if a person has a normal blood flow of 110 beats per minute, it decreases the blood flow and slows down the heart rate, and drops the person’s blood pressure. That’s how he does it. 
113.)	Google the “death touch” on the Internet; it injects a chi into the body and down your meridians that affects your nervous system, which controls your heart rate, your breathing rate and your blood pressure, and down you go onto the floor. Now you know about Benny Hin. 
 
114.)	Now we want to tell you about X-mas, Christmas. You thought you knew everything about Christmas, but we afraid to ask. Remember at the introduction to the service I told you the tree was the phallic symbol; the balls on the Christmas tree represent the testicles; the wreath, the boughs around the bottom of the tree, represent the womb; generally people spread out boughs around the bottom of the tree; and the tinsel represents the male ejaculate.
115.)	  That is what the background of the Christmas tree is. In the United States and Canada they are renaming them “Holiday trees” because they can’t have the name Christ in them; well, they shouldn’t even have them in the first place. You don’t have a tree, a “Nimrod” that sprang forth from an evergreen tree; you don’t even have one in the first place, but they are calling them “Holiday trees” now. 
116.)	In their advertising in the stores now they are not using the word “Christmas” as different people are suing them. It started in late October in 2008 when Home Depot was criticized by the American Family Association for using such terms as Holiday and Hanukkah on their web site, but avoiding the term Christmas. 
117.)	The retailer responded by saying that they will be adjusting their web site to make reference to Christmas more prominent; and they have been going back and forth on this all the way through; but the way it is heading now it isn’t even mentioning the name “Christmas.” 
118.)	The controversy goes all the way back to Puritan times, the Puritan Era. The first documented Christmas controversy was “Christian” –led during the English Interregnum when England was ruled by a Puritan Parliament. The Puritans sought to remove elements they viewed as pagan because they were not Biblical in origin.
119.)	In 1647 the Puritan- led English Parliament banned the celebration of Christmas. So Christmas was banned in England, and protests followed as pro-Christmas rioting broke out in several cities and for weeks Canterbury was controlled by the rioters who decorated doorways with holly and shouted royalist slogans.
120.)	The book, “The Vindication of Christmas,” London, 1652, argued against the Puritans, and makes note of old English Christmas traditions: dinner roasts, putting apples on the fire, card playing, dances with plow boys and maid servants, and carol singing.
121.)	The restoration of King Charles II ended the ban in 1660. But many clergymen still disapproved of the observance of Christmas, and we in The Obedient Church of God certainly disapprove of the Satanic Christmas. In Scotland Presbyterian Churches also discouraged the observance of Christmas.
122.)	James VI commanded its celebration in 1618; however, attendance at church was scant.
123.)	In colonial America the Puritans of New England didn’t approve of Christmas and celebration was outlawed in Boston from 1659 to 1681, and the ban by the Pilgrims was revoked by the English Governor Edmond Andros. However, it was not until the mid-19th century that celebrating Christmas became fashionable again in the Boston area.
124.)	 By the Declaration of Independence in 1776, it was not widely celebrated in the United States.
125.)	 Now there is a lot more going on with Christmas than you realize. Here is a quote: “It is not lawful, oh stranger, for us to change the date of Christmas, but would that Zeus would put it into the mind of the Niatirbians to keep X-mas at some other time, or not keep it at all. For X-mas and rush distract the mind even of the few from sacred things, and we indeed are glad that men should make merry at Christmas, but in X-mas there should be no merriment left. And when I asked him why he endured the rush, he replied, it is, oh stranger, a racket.”
126.)	Yes, indeed, Christmas is a “racket.” 
127.)	“In the early 20th century Christian writers had already noted a distinct split between the religious and secular observance of Christmas: in X-mas and Christmas.” That is in a lost chapter from Herodotus by C.S. Lewis, and he had his own problems with channeling and everything else he was involved in.
128.)	Lewis gives a satire of the observance of two simultaneous holidays in “Niatirb.” Guess what that is? Guess what that is? Lewis thinks he is so smart eh? Well, that is Britain spelled backward. I just noticed that. That’s right, it is spelled backwards.
129.)	Here is what the point is. Lewis’s narrator asks the priests why they keep Christmas on the same day as X-mas, and I read the reply to you here.
130.)	Now the Soviet Union and certain other communist countries banned overtly religious Christmas observances. Most customs traditionally associated with Christmas, such as decorated trees, presents, and Ded Moroz, were later reinstated into Soviet Society but later to New Year’s Day instead. This tradition remains as of the present day. 
131.)	It should be noted, however, most Russian Christians are of the Orthodox community where religious festivals, Christmas, and Easter do not necessarily coincide precisely with those of the main stream Christian Churches. Christmas, I can tell you, comes about a week later, about January 6 when they have the Ukranian and Russian Christmas. Now you know what is going on in the other half of the world, if you didn’t know that already regarding X-mas and Christmas.
132.)	 Let me tell you Christmas is one of the highest sacred days of the witches, “of the witches.” This is something you didn’t know that isn’t preached out that the Saturnalia is one of the high, “high” days of the witches. Now in Rome the Saturnalia was a celebration that started on December 17th and it was 5-7 days long. It was a huge party; the Romans also celebrated Mithras and Sol Invictus on December 25th.
133.)	Also the Romans celebrated the New Year. Now there are forms of winter solstice celebrations all around the world. I can name a few of them for you: there is Santa Lucia Day, December 13th; there is the Saturnalia, December 17th; there is the Yule, December 21st; there is the Hanukkah, December 16th to December 23rd; and yes, Hanukkah is of pagan roots.
134.)	There is the winter solstice ending on the 21st or 22nd, depending upon whether it is a leap year or not. And there is the American Christmas, December 25th, and there is Quanza, December 26th to July 1st. Then there is Three King’s Day, January 6th and there is Eid-Ul-Fiter and that runs all the way from October 23rd to December 25th. 
135.)	Now let us tell you, there all types and forms of Christmas, but we have it in America on the 25th and we shouldn’t have it at all. But now you know what is going on in the other parts of the world: Quanza and Yule and Santa Lucia Day and the rest of it.
136.)	Now the Yule (pronounced “ewe-elle”), and Yule is when the dark half of the year relinquishes to the light-half of the year. This is when all the witches and warlocks get all excited starting the next morning at sunrise, the sun climbs a little bit higher and stays a little longer in the sky each day. 
137.)	But let me tell you something, something is going on here because on the calendar, the shortest day of the year this year [2012] is December 14th and the sun is setting in Tennessee at 5:23 p.m., Eastern Standard Time. But then on December 21st the sun is setting at 5:25 p.m., which is longer obviously. And on the 28th it is setting at 5:29.
138.)	Here we have the sun is setting on December 14th at 5:23 p.m., and guess what? the days are getting longer because on Saturday, December 1st the sun set on Sabbath at 5:22 p.m. and then  
the day got shorter by the next week; on Friday, 7th December, the sun set at 5:21 p.m. 
139.)	But what is going on? December 14th is 5:23 and December 21st  is 5:26 p.m. For some reason here in Tennessee, the shortest day of the year is December 7th, instead of the 21st, and nobody is telling you this. We’ll give you more information as we get closer to December 21st, which will begin the Sabbath of the 22nd. 
140.)	That will give you a reason to tune to learn why the sun is setting earlier, why the Winter Solstice is moving over to the 7th. You heard that first.

141.)	 Do you want to hear something else first? How about the “Turtle Tree of Life?” The Turtle Tree of Life. In the native American turtle culture, we have “The Tree of Life.” It is a tale about the black elk; the black elk was given a vision by a medicine man named “Spotted Horse.”
“Black elk saw a vision of a beautiful tree at a cross road; he was shown how the tree was ill and it needed to be watered to make the birds sing. Then the tree will flourish.  
142.)	“He believed this strongly and traveled away from his home and around different places of the world telling his vision. When the journey was complete, and he was older, he had a revelation: the ‘Tree of Life’ was, and is, inside him. 
143.)	Then he says, “we all have a ‘Tree of Life’ inside us, and we must water it until the birds sing.” Author: “Thunderfoot”
144.)	This lesson by Thunderfoot isn’t attached to any particular season, but I thought you would be interested in knowing there is a “Turtle Tree of Life.” 

145.)	Now at Stonehenge at the winter solstice the worship of trees as proxies of Divinity is prevalent. Temples were often built in the heart of the sacred groves, and “nocternal ceremonies” were conducted under the wide-spreading branches of great trees fantastically decorated and festooned in honor of their patron deity. In many instances the trees themselves were believed to possess the attributes of divine power and intelligence, and therefore, supplications were often addressed to the trees.                                                                                                                                    146.) The trees were symbols of power, permanence, virility, and divine protection. Several ancient peoples, notably the Hindus, Scandinavians regarded the macro-cosm, or a grand universe, as a divine tree growing from a single seed thrown in space. That’s different.                                                                                   147.)   The Greeks, Persians, Chaldeans, and the Japanese have legends describing the axel-tree or reed upon which the earth revolves. Capila declares the universe to be the eternal tree.                                                  148.) Brahma which springs from an imperceptible and intangible seed, the material momad.                               149.) Cabalists represented Creation as a tree with its roots in the reality of spirit, and its branches in the illusion of tangible existence.                                                                                                                         150.) The Sephirothic tree of the cabala was therefore inverted with its roots in heaven and its branches upon the earth.                                                                                                                                                            151.) Madam Lavatsky notes that the great pyramid was considered to be a symbol of this inverted tree, with its root at the apex of the pyramid and its branches diverging into four streams toward the base. Just so you know, a properly-built pyramid is an electrical generator. It generates electricity. Flashes of electricity have actually been captured, not lightning, but flashes of electricity. Yes, lightning is electricity, but a different type of flash—blue flashes from the pyramid-- is producing the electricity.                                                                                                             152.) The Giza Pyramid is not just any pyramid because you have the have granite in the channels to have the conductors, and we aren’t going to get into all that with the channels inside the Giza Pyramid.                                                                                                                                                            153.) Back on topic on the world trees. The Scandinavian world tree Yggerasil supports on its branches 9 spheres or worlds, which the Egyptians symbolized by the 9 stamens (like flower stamens) of the Persea or Avocado. All of these are enclosed in mysterious cosmic egg, the definitionless cipher of the mysteries. Remember?                                                                                                             Ra-Osiris sprang from the Cosmic egg that was laid by the goose, the goose that gave its life for its young. Back on topic here.                                                                                                                                          154.) The cabalist’s tree of the Jews consists of nine branches, or worlds, emanating from the first cause or crown. This is from the cabalistic Jews. So they have a tree of 9 branches or worlds emanating from the first cause or crown which surrounds it emanations as the shell surrounds the egg, a single source of life, and its endless diversity of its expression has a perfect analogy in the structure of the tree.                                                                                                                                        155.) The tree represents the single origin of all diversity, the roots deeply embedded in the dark earth are symbolic of the divine nutriment; and its multiplicity of branches spreading from the central trunk represent the infinity of the universal effects dependent upon a single cause.                                                           156.) The tree has a lot more symbolism than just saying that it is pagan. There is a lot more going on here even with the cabalistic tree of the Jews with its nine branches or worlds. We are giving you this information so that you know that there is Satanic origin going on with the different symbolisms, especially of the Christmas tree. 
157.) Now let us tell you about the Tree of Life. So you have the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil; and the Cabalists who we don’t agree with or believe in, so we can get that straight right “off the bat,” but the Cabalists reveal by assigning the central column of their sephirothic diagram to the Tree of Life, and the two side branches to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.  So I’m going to rephrase this, put this all back together in a paragraph.                                                              158.) Under the appellations of the Tree of Life and of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is concealed the Great Arcanum of antiquity, the mystery of equilibrium. The Tree of Life represents the spiritual point of balance, the secret of immortality.                                                                                                    159.) The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, whose name implies, represents polarity or unbalance, the secret of mortality.                                                                                                                                160.) The Cabalists reveal this by assigning their central column of their sephirothic diagram to the Tree of Life and the two side branches to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.                                                161.) So we are telling you this not just because we want to talk about Christmas, but we are telling you all this to show you how it all inter relates with Christmas, and to the knowledge of good and evil.                              162.) “And indeed unbalanced forces perish in the void,” declares the secret work, “and all is made known.” 
163.) At Christmas time people had “apple bobbing.” “The apple represents the knowledge of procreative processes by the awakening of which the material world was established. The allegory,” the truth of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (they are calling it a cosmic myth), “revealed the methods of the Universe and individual establishment.” That is just what it represents. “The apple represents the knowledge of procreative processes by the awakening of which the material universe was established.”  164.) The reason we are giving you this information is to show you that there is much more going on than the simplicity you have been taught all your years about Christmas, and the Christmas tree, and all the associated accoutrements of them. So let me tell you more.                                                                                 165.) The oak, the pine, the ash, the cyprus, and the palm are the five trees of greatest symbolic importance. The father god of the mysteries, that’s the devil here, was often worshipped under the form of an oak. The Savior God, frequently the world martyr in the form of a pine, so they represented Yeshua as a pine, but it was Nimrod that was really behind it from the beginning.                                                                    166.) Part of this stuff that I’m reading here is getting into is really “really” deep, so I’m going to skip over some of this. Just the point of my reading any of this to you, is to show you that there is much more involved in the tree than you ever knew. Just in the conclusion, in the Phrygian mysteries Atys, the ever present sun savior, dies under the branches of the pine tree; that’s an allusion to the solar globe and the winter solstice. And for this reason the pine tree was sacred to his cult.                                                                167.) Mystery was also sacred to the mysteries of Dionysus and Apollo. Among the ancient Egyptians and Jews the acacia and tamarisk were held in the highest religious esteem.                                                          168.) Among modern Masons branches of acacia, cyprus, cedar, or evergreen are still regarded as the most significant emblems.                                                                                                                                  169.) The shittim- wood, used by the children of Israel in the construction of the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant, was a species of acacia.                                                                                                         170.) We are getting Albert Pike involved here, a high degree Mason who predicted the third world war; he channels information from the demons, so I’ll read what Albert Pike has written in 1871.                                     171.) “The genuine acacia also is the thorny tamarisk, the same tree which grew around the body of Osiris. It was a sacred tree among the Arabs who made of it the idol Al-uzza, which Mohammed destroyed. So it looks like Mohammed got into the picture.                                                                                      172.) “It is abundant as the bush in the desert of Thur and of it the crown of thorns was composed.” So you are getting more information. We’ll have to confirm this, but that is what this information is saying: the crown of thorns, which was set on the forehead of Jesus, was composed of [acacia]. Interesting. So he is saying the genuine acacia is also the thorny tamarisk, the same tree which grew around the body of Osiris.
173.) “…it is abundant as the bush in the desert of Thur and of it the crown of thorns was composed.” Well, that’s horrible because you have a pagan deity piercing Yeshua’s skin of his head, piercing Yeshua’s flesh.                                                                                                                                                              174.) We’ll learn more about it; in paganism it is a type of immortality on account of its tenacious life. So perhaps in mocking Yeshua, they put the pagan symbol of immortality around Yeshua’s head to mock him. Pretty serious!                                                                                                                                    175.) Well, let’s go on here. “It is a fit type of immortality on account of its tenacity of life for it has been known when planted as a door post to take root again and shoot out budding boughs above the threshold. It is quite possible that much of the veneration, according to the acacia is due to the particular attributes of the mimosa or sensitive plant with which it has often been identified by the ancients.                                               176.) There is a Coptic legend to the effect that the sensitive plant was the first of all trees or shrubs to worship Christ. The rapid growth of the acacia and its beauty has also caused it to be regarded as emblematic of fecundity and generations.                                                                                                                 177.) The symbolism of the acacia is susceptible of four distinct interpretations: one is that it is the emblem of the vernal equinox, the annual resurrection of the solar deity under the form of a sensitive plant which shrinks from human touch; and it goes on and on and on.                                                                      178.) So now you are seeing more and more. At least, we found out that possibly the crown of thorns was made out of the acacia; and we also found out that the construction of the tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant was a species of acacia.
179.) Let’s get into Hanukkah, which is the spelling in Hebrew; in Tiberian it is pronounced differently. It is known as the “Festival of Lights,” an eight day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the holy Temple, the second Temple in Jerusalem in the time of the Maccabean revolt of the second century B.C.E.                                                                                                                                                         180.) No, it isn’t. It is a trick, “it is a trick” the same way that the Americans celebrate Christmas with lights. Jews have been deceived. Anyway, Hanukkah is observed for 8 nights and days starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, and may occur anytime from late November to late December on the Gregorian Calendar.                                                                                                                                           181.) The festival of Hanukkah is observed by the kindling of light of the unique candlelabrum, a 9-branched menorah. One additional light is lit on each night of the holiday, progressing to eight on the final night. Now the typical Jewish menorah has just 8 branches, while these Hanukkah menorahs have an extra light, which I believe is Satanic.                                                                                                                           182.) Let’s see what it says here. It says that the extra light is called “shamash”—in Hebrew that’s “attendant” or “sextant” and it is given a distinct location, usually above or below the rest. The purpose of the “shamash” is to have a light available as use when of the Hanukkah lights is forbidden.                                     183.) The purpose that I want you to get out of all this is that there is much more going on here with the lights and with the apples and the trees and the wood of the tree and the image of the ashura was used by the pagan Canaanites, the Phoenicians. And one of these pagan Phoenicians was Jezabel whose name meant “virgin of Baal,” who married Ahab the king of Israel, a Samaritan king.                                                     184.) The Israelites (ten tribes) were later dispersed into the nations by the Assyrians in 722 B.C.E. and they carried this tree custom with them.  The lost tribes of dispersed Israel preserved one of the most pagan customs among them, the Christmas tree of Jezebel.                                                                                    185.) I’ll read that again, “The image of the “ashura” was a tree, a date palm used by the pagan Canaanites and Phoenicians; one of these pagan Phoenicians was Jezebel, meaning, “virgin of Baal” who married Ahab  “yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda.” So look how the tree goes right back to Jezebel.
186.) We have to tell you about the wreath. Remember I told you the ashura was the queen of heaven; the wreath represents the woman’s vagina. The tree represents the penis; why do you have a bunch of colored balls on the tree? It is because the balls represent the testicles. Why do you have the tinsel on the tree? It is because the tinsel represents the semen—the ejaculate.                                                                                              187.) Taken together these are the signs of fertility, false worship and idolatry. 
188.) If you have a Christmas tree, you listeners out there, that is an affront to God the Father as these are the pagan symbols of fertility and idolatry, and it is witchcraft. It is witchcraft.                                                          189.) It is getting a little heavy and I don’t want to get into any more of the Satanic origins; I think you get the message here. Let me give you one more you didn’t know. The boughs of holly were Saturn’s emblem; the two sweeping curves of holly are woman’s breasts and the wreath is the womb.                                190.) All these decorations have significant meaning to the pagans and to the witches; not to mention the maple, which is a huge wooden phallus. People would dance around the may pole, and wrapping it with ribbons, they worshipped their sex deity ashura ; it was later simplified into a pole.                                               191.) This is pre-101 level stuff that I’m reading here and it is really important to know that all of this has symbolic representation. But I don’t like going much further into this so I think you have enough information to know you don’t want to have anything to do with Christmas.                                                          192.) And now you know more about the Christmas tree: the pagan deity Nimrod who sprang forth as a Christmas tree; but you didn’t know that the tree represented a phallus, that the balls represented testicles, and that the tinsel represented the ejaculate.                                                                                                              193.) Now we are going to play a song called, “The Christians and the Pagans.” They sat down and they had a dinner together. This is a song that tells you about them. Well, there you have it tying it all together with the Christians and the pagans.                                                                                                                             194.) For the new listeners out there, you don’t want to have any green ivy or holly for they were common symbols of Saturn, the Roman deity. Early believers thought that if they decorated their homes with these things, they would appear to be conforming to the Roman culture that everyone around them was celebrating, so they would blend in and suffer less persecution. They would suffer less persecution if they put up the holly, if they put up the wreaths. Remember this is all witchcraft.                                                     195.) During the Middle Ages the little balls on the trees, the testicles, were interpreted by Christians to be witch balls, borrowed from witchcraft to attract and capture evil spirits; and the wreath was used to represent again the male deity the sun, and it also was the wolf symbol.                                                                   196.) For the new listeners out there, maybe we should read from the Bible for you. There was a show- down between the prophets of Baal and the Lord in I Kings 18:16-21. So Obadiah went to meet [King] Ahab, and Ahab went to meet Elijah; when he saw Elijah he said to him, “Is that you, you troubler of Israel?” “I have not made trouble for Israel,” Elijah replied, “but you and your father’s family, you have abandoned Yeshua’s commands and have followed the Baals.” See they had these symbols in their culture and there was a big showdown.                                                                                                                                  197.) Now for you listeners out there, I want you to remember this: no immoral, impure, or greedy person (such a man is an idolater) has any inheritance in the Kingdom. Let no one deceive you with empty words for because of such things, God’s wrath comes upon those who are disobedient.  Therefore, do not be partners with them.                                                                                                                                                       198.) I’m paraphrasing Ephesians 5:5-14, For once you were in darkness, but now you are in light; move as children of light. The fruit of light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.  Light is truth, and find out what pleases Father. Have nothing to do with darkness, but rather expose them for it is shameful to even mention what the disobedient do in secret, but everything exposed by light become visible.                       
199) So now you see what the Christmas tree really represents: the phallus, the testicles, and the ejaculate by the tinsel. Have nothing to do with them, all you new listeners out there. 
200.) That’s the sermon for today. More will be coming as time permits in future broadcasts before December 21st, 2012, the winter solstice.                                                                                                                     201.) Now there is just enough time to take our hymnals and in Praise of Yeshua: save me, save me; cry out to Him, save me. Sing this song with some urgency. It is page 44 in other hymnals, page 43 in ours. When you see all the sin that is around us, it is like being inundated and living in Egypt, so cry out to God                                                                                                                                                                            202.) All please rise, face the north heavens, sing as one big choir, and cry out to him: save me, “save me, save me” by thy great name, and that’s important.  If you just sit back, why should He save you when you don’t even want to ask Him.  All sing out.
203.) Remain standing for the closing prayer, face the north heaven, arms raised, head bowed, eyes closed.                                                                                                                                                                               204.) “Almighty, most-merciful , loving Father, thank you for the strength to obey your Bible in order for us to be saved through the power of your spirit, which gives us the power to be obedient. So like Peter, it is not our power, it is your power in us. So we thank you for your Holy Spirit.                                                    205.) “Please help all the ministers of the Worldwide Churches of God offshoots to realize that they don’t have the strength to be obedient to your Deuteronomy 16:16, your Ezekiel 46:3; if they don’t have the power, get re-baptized. Give them your Spirit, if it is your will.                                                                                 206.) “Father we pray for all of the people of The Obedient Church of God, for our members: give them protection for these upcoming terrible times because we are going through the birth pangs.                                    207.) “Look after also our friends and acquaintances in other denominations and lead them into the truth as you desire.                                                                                                                                                                  208.) “Father, we put it all in your hands, and we thank you for The Obedient Church of God, so that I can even preach to myself, and learn also your ways; and learn more of the symbols and customs of this world.                                                                                                                                                                          209.) “We thank you, Father, for your inspiration on this blessing. Thank you for your inspiration on the speaking, and pray you would give that inspiration on the hearing, and we thank you for it.                                       210.) “So now we ask for your dismissal, we ask for your protection in the coming week. Protect us from the county authorities, the state authorities, and the national authorities, because this is the set-up of the Beast Power, and the gestapo act where we don’t have any rights at all. Please protect us from the police. 211.) “And now Father, we look forward to seeing you next Sabbath in eager anticipation. And we ask all this in Yeshua ha Mashiach’s holy, righteous name, our soon arriving King and Savior. Amen.”
212.) Yes, it is an evil time we are living in, a bad, bad situation; it is all around us: paganism is all around us just like it was in living in Egypt. So let’s play it again, “The Christians and the Pagans” as they all sat down to dinner on Christmas.
