Transcription of Sabbath Day
Sermon #307
Given by 
Lawrence A. Nowell
On 19th day July 2014
www.TheWorldTomorrow.org 
1.)	This is The Obedient Church of God broadcasting worldwide on the Internet.
2.)	“I can tell by your eyes that you’ve probably been cryin’ forever;” Yes, Father has been crying for 6,000 years because you are so disobedient. 
3.)	“The stars in the sky don’t mean nothing to you; there’re a mirror.” Genesis 1:14 says that lights will mark days, not the International Date Line. 
4.)	“I don’t want to talk 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?”
5.)	“If I stand all alone…” Yes, The Obedient Church of God is standing all alone; it is the only congregation in the world that doesn’t move God’s Sabbath Day to Friday with a phony International Date Line. We follow every jot and tittle of the Bible, and no one else can say that, and you have found the original Church of God. 
6.)	“I don’t want to talk 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, God’s heart…” Won’t you listen to God’s way of life? “God’s heart?” He’s been pleading with you for 6,000 years generation after generation, but you will not follow God. 
7.)	The brass section introduces the broadcast, especially the magnificent saxophones. Bonjour Paree, France: it is late supper—8 P.M.—in Paree, France; 1 P.M.—lunch time—on the West Coast, Los Angeles, and 4 P.M. on the East Coast, New York City: this is the perfect time for your spiritual feeding today to stop you from breaking God’s heart, and to turn the Father’s heart to the children, and the children’s hearts to the Father.
8.)	“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, indeed. Won’t you listen to God’s way of life? And that doesn’t mean to do what your minister says. That means following, “following” only what is in your Bible; it is a complete manual and it has everything that you need. There are no changes necessary; there are no additions necessary; and there are no deletions necessary. 

10.)	 It is not necessary for you to add Turkey-god Day after the seven-day Feast of Tabernacles; it is not necessary for you to move the Sabbath Day to Friday with a phony International Date Line; it is now necessary for you to celebrate Sky Father’s Day, the longest day of the year that you just celebrated. You don’t know what you are doing. It is just like you celebrated Mother-goddess Day in the spring time; you have all year to celebrate with your mother, but no; you have to celebrate at the feast of Gaia in the spring time. 

11.)	 You are deceived. You are following all of the satanic days. You are following Easter (Ishtar, goddess of sexual love.) You are following Christmas Day, the shortest day of the year; it is the sun-god Sol, his day—Baal’s day. You are, indeed, celebrating all of the pagan days.

12.)	 Now all of the Worldwide Church of God “Offshoots” are only getting half of it right, because they refuse to celebrate God’s New Month Day; Ezekiel 46:3 says that you shall worship on new month day; and you refuse to follow Zechariah 8:19, which tells of the fasts of the Lord.

13.)	 You refuse to stop celebrating Turkey-god Day—you have a twenty-pound bird that represents the Cosmic Goose that gave its life for its young; it is the goose that Ra-Osiris sprang-forth from. That’s why you have a twenty-pound Buddha on your table, and it just wouldn’t seem right if you didn’t have a twenty-pound bird. So why don’t you have a lamb, veal; why don’t you have fish, why don’t you have roast beef? No. It has to be a turkey, because it is Turkey-god Day. That is why the President pardons a turkey; he doesn’t pardon a lamb. You don’t know what you are doing.

14.)	 All of you Worldwide Church of God Offshoots are only half-full of oil, and you will be kept out of the “Marriage Supper,” because you are only doing half of the things right. And you won’t be in the Kingdom unless you repent. It will be just like Saul who had the kingdom torn away from him, because Saul didn’t kill all of the animals. It is the same with you who don’t kill all of the pagan days. 

15.)	 You have to have Mother-goddess Day to your mother; and have Sky Father’s Day to your father; and you have to have Turkey-god Day to the Cosmic goose. You had better repent; we are here to pull you out of the mud.

16.)	 We have a spiritual feeding for you today. I have a picture of the red heifer here—the red heifer in Texas that was recently born; it is a pure bred heifer, and it doesn’t have a single white hair anywhere in its fur, or its coat. Its name is Geula, which means “redemption.” 

17.)	 Today we want to tell you about Yeshua and His characteristics; and we have other things to tell you about, such as, Germany is building a Temple for Muslims, Jews, and Christians. So we’ll be telling you about the first Mosque-Church-Synagogue combined. Isn’t that interesting! Three in one. Hmmm! Muslims, Jews, and Christians are joining hands to build a new Synagogue-Church-Mosque—three groups under one roof. Hmmm! I wonder how long that will last before all start tearing each other apart, blowing each other up. It is called “Berlin’s House of One.”  

18.)	 And we’ll also tell you about the 27 points of resemblance between Moses and Yeshua ha Mashiach. Yes. I found that on the Internet. And we’ll tell you about the Illumination of the Temple, of the four golden oil-filled lamps that were 75 feet high! They had to have people climbing up a ladder 75 feet high in order to light these lamps. 

19.)	 Why did they have such big lamps? Those 75 foot high lamps were to remind the people of the “pillar of fire” that guided Israel, and, indeed, a light to the sin-darkened world. You know, Jesus is called “the light of the world.” We’ll be telling you more about that, and if there is time, we’ll tell you about the water libation ceremony. The reason we want to tell you about that is that it ties in with the fast we just celebrated, which was on the 17th of the fourth month, which was the 16th of the seventh Roman month, 2014, and we celebrated that on Wednesday. 

20.)	 I had a wonderful joyous fast because our hope is in Yeshua’s return, and when you are going to live forever. So no matter what happens to you in this world, you are not worried because you will pop-up in the resurrection. So if someone kills you, you don’t worry; you don’t worry what man can do, because you will wake-up one second later in the resurrection.

21.)	 We will tell you more about the fasts of the Lord because the Bible plainly states that my (Yeshua’s) disciples will fast. We just celebrated the fast of the fourth month on this last Wednesday, but some of the listeners decided that they didn’t want to fast. Oh, is that so? So are you a despiser of what is good? You don’t want to do the fasts of the Lord, where it says in Zechariah 8:19 that these are the fasts of the Lord. Who said that? Who is speaking there in Zechariah 8:19?  “Thus says the Lord of hosts, The fast of the fourth month…” Who said that, eh? 

22.)	 Now back-up to verse 16 where it says, “These are the things that you shall do…” Hmmm! So somebody decided he wasn’t going to fast on the fourth month. Well, you are a despiser of what is good, because there is no reason for you not to celebrate the fast of the fourth month. Well, then Jude 1:16 kicks in. “Murmurers, murmurers…” Another verse is “None of the wicked shall understand,” Daniel 12:10. Well, how do you know if you are wicked or not? The answer is that you do not understand. You do not understand, so you are wicked.

23.)	 II Timothy 3:3 says that you are “a despiser of good.” “Not lovers of the good,” is the New International Version translation. Then you have “They hate what is good.” They hate the four fasts of the Lord; they have the fasts of the four months because they won’t celebrate them. The New Living Translation says, “They hate what is good.” 

24.)	 New American Version says, “Haters of good;” King James Bible says, “Despisers of those that are good.” And the Darby Bible translation says, “No love for those who are good.” It is good to fast; “it is good to fast.” 

25.)	 I have a Sparkler from Ozelia Ruth on fasting that I’ll read to you today, and how it rejuvenates your body, and that it is good to fast. But no, you don’t want to do the fast of the fourth month; you want to be a despiser of what is good. Well, we are here to wake you up! Yes! We are here to wake you up! 

26.)	 We are the Romans 9:28 work, proven by the facts that we are the end-time work that is restoring all things, because we have a congregation of 200 plus brethren in Pakistan who will wait until the sun goes down for the Sabbath to begin tomorrow. All of the other churches in Pakistan, and the other churches in New Zealand, and all the other churches in Australia and in the Philippines will be working on God’s Sabbath Day because their ministers don’t have the brains and don’t have the guts (they just have timidity) to change it. 

27.)	 All that it takes is one phone call to your office in Australia, to your office in New Zealand,, and to your office in the Philippines, etcetera; all you have to do is phone your leaders there  and tell them that they have to wait until the sun goes down and celebrate the true Sabbath, and don’t go by the phony International Date Line anymore.

28.)	 Look! We want your members in all of the “Offshoot” branches of the Worldwide Church of God to stop working on God’s Sabbath Day. We’re here to pull you out of the mud, and you are in the mud—you are so deep in the mud; you are so mired in the “rabbit hole” that you can’t even understand it. So we are going to keep pounding away on it until you do understand it—until it makes sense to you. 

29.)	 You cannot have the Sabbath Day a day early in Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, India, and China, because, technically, Yeshua would arrive in Australia a day before He arrived in Jerusalem!  Hmmm! Selah. Think on that-- how foolish you are. But worse than that, to nail it right down: you all are working on God’s Sabbath Day, because in 1882 the Sabbath Day was on the seventh-day in Australia and New Zealand. And then in 1883 poof! the day jumps ahead—its magic!. 

30.)	 You [who are west of the International Date Line] have to wait for the Sabbath Day because that is the “sign” of God on you. Do you want the “mark of the Beast” on you, or do you want the mark of God on you? Ezekiel 20:20 tells us to “Hallow my Sabbaths that they may be a sign between me and you, so that you may know that I the Lord am your God.” Also, Ezekiel 20:12 the seventh-day Sabbath is the mark of God on you.

31.)	 Do you want to be sealed? “Do you want to be sealed?”—sealed in the “place of safety?” Isaiah 8:16   says to “seal up the Words,” and the sign of God is all the way through the Bible, but your ministers suppress the truth, Romans 1:18-19. They are liars.                                                                                                                                                                     Look! The Sabbath Day is a “sign” on you, just like the mark of the Beast is a sign on you.  Exodus 31:13 tells that the Sabbath Day is a “sign;” Exodus 31:17 also tells that the Sabbath Day is a “sign.” I hope that you are understanding that. We start every broadcast with this because you have to repent. Your ministers have to repent. 

32.)	 Continuing Church of God, Bob Thiel, you have to repent and put the Sabbath Day back to the seventh-day in the churches is Australia and in New Zealand and in China and in India. It does matter because there are 1.3 billion people in China, and 1.2 billion people in India; and you don’t want to have them working on the seventh-day. Give your head a shake, Continuing Church of God. 

33.)	 Give your head a shake United Church of God; Philadelphia Church of God; Triumph Prophetic Ministry—and don’t give me this hooey that you are going to wait until Yeshua comes back, because then you’ll be thrown into hell. Hebrews 10:26 says, No, “no, no” sacrifice for your sins if you know to do right and you won’t do it. So you can’t say that you are going to wait for Christ to come back to restore all things. 

34.)	 We are the Romans 9:28 work. We are restoring the four fasts of the Lord; we just celebrated the fast of the fourth month last Wednesday; there’s the proof. The proof is also that our congregation in Pakistan waits until the sun goes down for tomorrow so that they can celebrate God’s Sabbath Day on the seventh-day, and not work on God’s Sabbath Day. 

35.)	 Welcome, instead, to The Obedient Church of God who is restoring all things; if your ministers lie and say that we are not, they are guilty of breaking the ninth commandment as well as the fourth commandment, which says to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy; and they are breaking the ninth commandment, which is bearing false witness by lying and saying that we don’t have a congregation in Pakistan of 200 plus people who are waiting until tomorrow to celebrate the Sabbath Day on seventh-day.  We have restored God’s Sabbath Day to the seventh-day.

36.)	 Now the world has affiliates in Australia who wait until tomorrow to have the Sabbath Day on the seventh-day, and affiliates in the Philippines, and in New Zealand around the world; our videos--the one you are watching now has over 10,000 hits; it’s a small work. 

37.)	 In the music industry if you have a million hits, you are sort of doing all right; but when you get into 2 million and 3 million, etcetera, etcetera, well, you are doing good. But we are a small work, and that is because God said that it would be a small group, “a little flock;” so we are the little flock and we are here on Matthew’s Mountain. 

38.)	 We are looking forward to the feast coming up [in October], so we sent out to some of the associates and members, and others, the feast site and places you could go to when you are here. There is a magnificent Tukaleechee Cavern where you could spend a whole day there in the cavern underground.

39.)	 There are all types of bargain shops, there are hand-made musical instruments in town, and there are antiques galore; if you go about ten miles down the road there are a lot of restored antique cars that are so beautiful that are for sale. You can look at them and it is just like going to a car show, because these are classics. 

40.)	 And if you want to go to the East, you can go to Dollywood where they have the greatest, talented, professional gospel singers in the world; they are recording artists. Dolly Partin has very good taste in choosing her entertainers because her name is on Dollywood—she has the best. We have it all for you because we have the spiritual food. 

41.)	 There are beautiful shiny log cabins, complete with Jacuzis or without a Jacuzi—whatever you want, whatever you can afford. If you come out here, you can get a nice room for $69.00, or you can get the cheapest rooms for $45.00, or you can rent a log cabin for $145.00 [per night]. If you want to go the “whole nine yards,” you can pay $250.00 for a whole house-sized log cabin. 

42.)	 So here we are thinking of the Feast [of Tabernacles]. We can give you more information on it; we have everything here that you could possibly want—both physically and spiritually. And we have been blessed. We are being blessed because we are obedient to God; but the Bible tells that most people are not going to be saved. 

43.)	 Most people are not going to be getting saved; Matthew 7:13 tells you to enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate: Mother-goddess Day, Sky Father’s Day, Turkey-god Day; refusing to celebrate New Month Day of Ezekiel 46:3; refusing to celebrate the four fasts of the Lord of Zechariah 8:19; broad is the way that leads to destruction. 

44.)	 All of the “Offshoot Churches of God” are headed for destruction, because they all are moving the Sabbath Day to the sixth-day in half the world [west of the phony International Date Line of 1883]. The disciples and everyone else around the world, and God’s disciples did travel right around the world, like Joseph of Arimathea who had his shipping industry with all of his ships that were moving tin around the world. 

45.)	 Jesus Christ traveled with his uncle all over the world with his tin-ore carrying ships: they waited for the Sabbath Day by waiting for the sun to go down, no matter where he was in the world, and there wasn’t any phony International Date Line. You could say that Yeshua ha Mashiach went to India with his uncle on his ships, and he probably went to China. If there is time we’ll give peripheral sermons on the travels of Yeshua to China and India. Where do you think he was from the age of twelve onward? He was traveling the world with his uncle Joseph of Arimathea. We’ll tell you all about that. 

46.)	 As a sidebar, did you know that The Wizard of Oz is totally satanic? They impersonate Yeshua as the “cowardly lion”; they had Joseph of Arimathea as the “tin man”; and Mary the mother of Jesus, was Dorothy who drops the house on the wicked witch, and kills the wicked witch [to represent] Mary who drops Yeshua ha Mashiach on Satan and kills Satan, because Satan is going to be burned-up.

47.)	 Yes, spirit beings can be destroyed: they can be taken apart molecule by molecule, because Father, El Shaddai, put Satan together molecule by molecule, and anything He put together, He can pull apart.  (It is easier to take it apart than to put it together, also.)

48.)	 So, all you Masons, you lose. Yeshua comes and He smashes the New World Order, and He replaces all of you Masonic Judges, all of you Masonic Congressmen, all of you Masonic Jesuit Priests; indeed, He replaces the whole system that exists today. This whole system is Satanic from the head to the toe. All of the Government leaders are satanic; they all give the “two-horn goat sign” of Hail Satan. 

49.)	 That is what George Bush puts up; that is what Dick Cheney puts up; that is what Harper of Canada puts up; that is what Sarkozy of France puts up; that is what Netanyahu of Israel puts up; that is what Peres puts up. Did you know that Shimon Peres and Netanyahu aren’t even Jews? They are Polish! 

50.)	 Many think that Ronald Reagan was a “great savior”; Ronald Reagan was a lying rat! Rotten Ronnie signed the Bill that Christians are labeled as “disrupters” and will be killed. Rotten Ronald Reagan signed the Bill to kill Christians, labeling them as “disrupters.” You can google it yourself. Did you know that Ronald Reagan sold arms to Iran, and with the money he got arms to pump into Nicaragua, a small country in South America.

51.)	 Did you know that we (the U.S.A.) went to war with little tiny Grenada? The United States is the biggest bully on the block, and it has destabilized all of the nations of the world. 

52.)	 Right now Libya is a “basket case;” and so is Iraq a “basket case.” Before, under Gadhafi, the people loved Gadhafi; they put out this literature that we had to free the people of Libya from the terrible tyranny of Gadhafi. In Libya Gadhafi gave everybody free electricity; Gadhafi paid 50% of your car [price]; he gave everybody free education—a person could go any place in the world for education and Gadhafi would pay for it. Gadhafi would give away a free farm with free equipment, with free seed, with everything that was needed to set up the farm.. 

53.)	 Gadhafi made sure that people would have a house, while in the United States people get thrown out on the street if they don’t have the money to make the payment. Gadhafi gave people money to buy the house. How do you like that?  You see, you are down in the “rabbit hole”—you don’t have a clue. 

54.)	 Every cent that you work for; every morning until lunch time, doesn’t go to the United States Government; it goes to the satanic Illuminati; it goes to the Federal Reserve, which is not federal and it has no reserves, and they send the money to the city of London, and they forward the money to the Vatican, to the Jesuits, and what is left over to the “banksters.” None of the money goes to the United States Government, but you work every day of your life as a slave to pay the Illuminati.

55.)	 It is the same thing in Canada. The Income Tax Act was passed in 1917 when Canada was at war with Germany. Canada is not at war with Germany now, is it? But the people are still paying income tax in Canada, and just like in the United States, it goes to the Illuminati through the Bank of Canada, which is a private corporation calling itself a Bank of Canada. It is just like the Federal Reserve, which is a private corporation that calls itself the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is not any more federal than the Federal Express.  

56.)	 We have the IRS that is not part of the American Government; it is part of a separate corporation based out of Puerto Rico. If you try to go against them, the corrupt Masonic Illuminati Judges in all the states won’t even hear your case. They’ll throw it out of Court; they’ll dismiss it. Let me tell you something: they can’t even dismiss it even if the wanted to, because the Taxation Act was never ratified by the fifty states. 

57.)	 The IRS Act was passed at 12 midnight by three Congressmen on December 25th –in the middle of the night. See how you have been deceived. You have been lied to by your politicians: all of them! 

58.)	 They only set up this [freedom of religion] so that there would be freedom of religion for the Illuminati; but then they passed laws that if you are a Christian, you are a “disrupter” and you will be locked-up, have your head cut off. Those were Ronald Reagan’s orders in 1980. And then that was followed by the NDA Act’s orders. We’ll tell you about all the countries of the world are being destabilized deliberately. And as I was saying, Libya is a “basket case” and Iraq is a “basket case.”  

59.)	 Any country that we (U.S.) have invaded became a “basket case;” we are doing it deliberately so that the people will cry out for the New World Order. That is what is happening in Cyprus: the people are crying out for a solution. That is the Hegelian Dialectic. 

60.)	 The Illuminati “banksters” cause the problem by taking all of the mortgages and wrapping them up in a package that is rated AAA1 and selling them all around the world when they are junk. They were known as “liar’s loans” and they gave all these junk mortgages to anybody who could breathe; and they would bundle them up and sell them to countries all over the world, and all the pension funds to the world. They don’t care. It’s a big scam.

61.)	 Now they are buying them back. Why are they buying them back? It is because they are buying them for pennies on the dollar. And the dollars that the Illuminati print—the Federal Reserve prints and charges interest on—are worthless. Toilet paper is worth more. But now they can foreclose on you, and now they have something; they have your property. 

62.)	 They give you this worthless (toilet) paper to buy the house and then they can foreclose on you, and take the house away from you, and instead of the worthless (toilet) paper they gave you to buy the house, they have a piece of property with a house on it. It is amazing: they print (toilet) paper, so how can they get a house in your name if you are the property’s owner? Amazing. You are down in a “rabbit hole” and you don’t see any of this.

63.)	 You don’t see any of the facts that all of the “Offshoot [Worldwide] Churches of God are going straight into hell, because they are breaking the fourth commandment in half of the world. Your head is down the “rabbit hole” or some other worse place. You have to wake-up. We are the restoration, Romans 9:28, work.

64.)	 We are the end-time work of Malachi; we are turning the heart of Father to the children, and the hearts of the children to the Father. In every service we show you how to sing out to Father in the hymns; and it is not for entertainment—it is not for your amusement. If your children sang to you and praised you, your heart would turn toward them. And that is how we The Obedient Church of God turn Father’s heart toward you. So we will be singing the hymns shortly, but first all please rise.

65.)	 Face the north heavens where Father, El Shaddai, and Yeshua ha Mashiach are; raise your arms in worship—they are worthy of worship; bow your head in humility; and close your eyes in sincerity. 

66.)	 “Almighty loving Father, we come before you in joy for you have called us into the truth; we thank you for opening our eyes to the truth.

67.)	 “We pray for all of our brethren, our acquaintances, and all of our ex-acquaintances that their eyes may also be opened, and they will start following your New Month Day, that they will start following the four fasts of Zechariah 8:19, and they will be saved and not thrown into the fire by disobedience. It is all in your hands, Father.

68.)	 “Please look after our congregation of 200 in Pakistan as eight of them were murdered five years ago by a mob of a thousand that burned their homes and burned some of them alive; it was horrible. We always put that in our opening prayer; look after our congregation in Pakistan.

69.)	 “Father, please inspire the services, both the hearing and the speaking, and especially inspire the listening of the people on the video tapes now that we have had over 10,000 hits; continue to inspire the people to understand. Let this be a witness against those who refuse to repent. 

70.)	 “Father, we place this service in your hands now; we ask it all in our King’s name, Yeshua ha Mashiach. Amen”

                                                                                             *  *  *

71.)	 We have a mighty warrior King; He is powerful. He will fight and He will slay 200,000,000 with the sword, and that’s why the blood will flow up to a horse’s bridal. He will do what is necessary, “He will do what is necessary.” First He came as a Lamb, and sacrificed Himself for those who would repent, but for those who don’t repent, there will be nothing but wrath and indignation. Fiery judgment awaits you. It is your choice, your call.
 
72.)	 Father has a good plan: we have the four fasts of the Lord that we studied, and we had the first fast [fast of the fourth month] just last Wednesday—just four days ago—on July 16th of the Roman calendar. So now we want you to praise Father. Pick up your fuchsia colored 1934-worded hymnal for The Obedient Church of God, but you don’t have that hymnal, so go on the Internet and google Worldwide Church of God hymnal; we want you to sing hymn on page #51, and you want to praise Father by singing, “Joyfully Sing and Praise God.” 

73.)	You want to say these words, how awesome are your deeds; now if your children came around and sang in front of you, and said, Daddy, how awesome are your deeds, and how awesome are you Daddy, wouldn’t you as the father soften your heart towards them? Yes, you would. So sing out to our heavenly Father. Tell Him in the first verse how awesome are His deeds. That’s how you turn Father’s heart to you; if you are sincere and you say it, sing it out, and tell Him how awesome He is. “Joyfully Sing and Praise God,” page 51. All together.
 
74.)	 I hope you sang out, “I hope you sang out.” It is very important to praise God, because that is the “fruit of your lips.” That’s right. That’s a sacrifice you are giving: the “fruit of your lips.” He is worthy to have the “fruit of your lips” given in love. Let’s turn to “Lord, Teach Me That I Might Know,” page 110. It is important for you to sing out because you don’t receive unless you ask.   

75.)	 You want to understand this broadcast, because we are going to be talking about the paths of the Lord; we are going to be talking about the parallels between the prophet Moses and Yeshua, and we’ll be talking about the candle sticks, if there is time, and that is part of Revelations that no one understands. But, back on topic here, page 110-111. Turn there with me now, and you want to ask Him, literally ask Him to teach you, to open your mind.  So, do yourself a favor: sing those words, Lord, teach me; and if you don’t, then you are the loser, “you are the loser.” 

76.)	 Do you realize what you have done for the good? You sang the words, “cut off my foes; set me free.” Set me free from where I’ve been taken advantage of; set me free from business associates who are taking advantage of me. Yes. And you also sang “teach me now thy will to do.” That is what you are saying: you asked Him to teach you His will. See how important these hymns are? 

77.)	 You also asked Him to please lead you by His Holy Spirit by singing “lead me by Thy Spirit good.” What a wonderful hymn! And you asked Him, whether you know it or not, to lead you to the “place of safety” when you sang “lead me to the land of refuge.” So you better sing out, because if you didn’t, you missed all that. I’ll give you another chance; you get to sing it again.

78.)	 That’s right, and think of the words that you are saying: that you want to be led to the place of refuge (“a place of safety”). And you want the foes who are taking advantage of you to be cut off. Sing out. Let’s get it right. Well, I think you have the message now, and if you haven’t, there is something wrong, “something wrong.” Something is wrong if you haven’t gotten the message.

79.)	 The message today is going to be obeying the four fasts of the Lord, so let’s turn to “Blessed and Happy is the Man.” That’s very important, because you want to “never walk astray.” So, I think it is a good idea if you affirm that with Father, and sing out: “blessed and happy is the man who does never walk astray.” This is page #1 in the book. These words mean something.

80.)	 You delight in God’s law: meditate on Zechariah 8:19, so sing out. You are not a scorner, you are not a despiser of what is good. You are not a despiser of God’s four feasts, because God said that these are the fasts—these are the feasts of the Lord. You are not a despiser of what is good. Blessed and happy is the man who does never walk astray.  

81.)	 Matthew 7:14 tells that narrow is the gate (door) that leads to life. The Obedient Church of God shows you the “narrow way,” and anybody that says anything despising Zechariah 8:19, is despising what Father said—what El Shaddai said. Who said that? El Shaddai said that. So you are going to tell El Shaddai in the Judgment Seat that I didn’t believe the fast of the fourth month. I saw it in your Bible; I saw where it said the fast of the fourth month  in verse 19, but in verse 16, it says that these are the things that you shall do, says the Lord of hosts. And again in verse 18 it says, “Thus says the Lord of hosts: the fast of the fourth month…” 

82.)	 So, what are you going to tell Father, eh? You are in trouble now. 
83.)	 So I want you to repent; I want your ministers to repent. We are the Romans 9:28 work, and we’re getting more and more powerful, both spiritually and physically. You know, fasting is pretty good for you. Yes it is. It is excellent for you. You should fast. 

84.)	 Remember, I said that we have a “Sparkler” for you. You don’t want to hear from me; you want to hear from one of our members. She is actually on the Executive Board of The Obedient Church of God, and she has written a “Sparkler” for you and for the rest of us, and for me. The topic is “One Day Fasts.” She wrote this on June 10th, but the fast was on July 16th. She wrote, “Dear Netsari Brother Nowell,” like “now El—now God, the Father”

85.)	 “There are health benefits from fasting. It could help the body to fight off disease by regenerating the immune system. This is accomplished by a one-day fast at a time (not two days, not three days, or five days, but by a one-day fast at a time.) Long periods of not eating (at a time) significantly lowered the white blood cells count in experiments with mice.” So let’s expound on that. That is a good point. If you fast longer than one day at a time—if you fast for long periods, you significantly lower your white blood cell count.

86.)	 Now she writes, “After a one-day fast, the regeneration of the new white blood cells renews the defenses of the body. Walter Longo Zuker stated, ‘The body could get rid of the parts of the system that might be damaged or old, the inefficient parts—the damaged cells—during fasting.’

87.)	 She writes, “Anyone who has major health problems should not fast, but for others it can be a healthy thing to do so from a physical as well as a spiritual perspective.”

88.)	 Now even with health problems, you might want to consider fasting because it clears the body and allows the cells to rejuvenate.

89.)	 Bear Note from Ozelia Ruth: One-day fasts are excellent to get the body to rid the system of cells that might be damaged or old. 

90.)	 It is very important to have one-day fasts. And, indeed, we just had a one-day fast on the 16th July, [2014]. But some of you are despisers, despisers of what is good. Some of you are murmurers: these people tell their friends that they don’t celebrate these four fasts. Well, that means you are not lovers of the good. 

91.)	 You see, every word of the Bible is a good word; that’s why they call it “the good news;” every word of this Bible is good. Therefore, II Timothy 3:3 cuts in against you; you are not “lovers of the good.” The New International Version: “They will be cruel and hate what is good.” The New Living Translation: “They have no self-control.” They want to eat, eat, eat. 

92.)	 There are a lot of people around the world like in Africa or are in nations where they are starving, they could write a diet book for you. Stop putting food in your mouth if you want to lose weight. Stop putting food in your mouth. It is simple. There aren’t any overweight people in starving countries, no matter how big their bones are, no matter how strong their build is, there aren’t any overweight people in the concentration camps. There aren’t. There aren’t. There aren’t.

93.)	   Stop stuffing so much food into your “taste hole.” Stop it! Stop it! Then you’ll lose weight. It is that simple. You don’t even have to go for a walk; you don’t have to exercise, and you don’t have to join a gym. You are going to have to stop stuffing so much food into your “taste hole.” Period. 

94.)	 Now one of the interesting things about fasting—I’ve fasted a number of times in my life—is that you lose your desire, you cravings for food by the second or third day. That’s right. 

95.)	 When you fast, you have to be careful and monitor your body. You can take your blood pressure, take your own pulse so that you know what your heart is beating at during your fast, and you can take your temperature with a thermometer. You do have a great fast. You might go for a short walk; it can be a “prayer-walk” when you are fasting. 

96.)	 I’ll give you a tip: when I lose weight, I’ll have one hamburger patty on the bar-be cue and I’ll cover it in my favorite Montgomery Inn Stake Sauce; I might have fruit juice or a glass of V-8 juice (tomato and vegetable blend ) and then I’ll cut my hamburger patty in half, and cut the half into little pieces and munch on it, and I might cover it in ketchup and pepper, and that is lunch. And then I’ll take the other half of the patty and cover in a different kind of sauce. 

97.)	 The point is I take fruit juice and distilled water during the day to avoid getting dehydrated. The formula is to take half your weight in water a day, so I take 8 glasses a day. So if you weigh150 pounds, you would have you would 75 ounces of water, which is like 8-9 glasses. You would have 4 glasses from 8-12 noon, and then from 12 to 5, you have 4-5 more glasses.

98.)	 It is easy to do; and put some sea salt in your water, because then you won’t be licking your lips and feeling like you are under a big deal fast, and drop some apple cider vinegar into your distilled water too, and it has to be distilled. It cannot be reverse osmosis, it cannot be spring water, which is worse than well water because it has minerals in it, and you cannot get your minerals out of the water: you have to get your minerals out of plants directly. The only thing that absorbs your water is parts of your colon and that is only miniscule absorption.   

99.)	 Here’s the point: drink 8 [of the 8 ounce glasses of water a day]; put a little sea salt in it, and molasses in it, or whatever you like, to flavor it, and you can lose at least three pounds a week by just drinking a glass of fruit juice of a glass of V-8 juice, because it releases calories slowly, and one hamburger patty. I am a testament of what I speak; after the fast this week, I weighed myself and I’m down to 178 pounds from 225 pounds last winter. So, I have lost 45 pounds, and I’m driving myself to get down to 159; that is what I was when I boxed, and when I boxed, I was really fast, I was really light on my feet, and I might get down to 135, which is really light though.

100.)	Do you know how many chin-ups you can do when you weigh 135 pounds? You’ll go like Jack the Bear; you can beat anybody in chin-ups when you weigh 135 pounds, as opposed to 245 pounds. 

101.)	Here’s the point: you can lose weight if you stop plugging your “taste hole” with food. You don’t even have to exercise. Selah. 

102.)	We had a fast on the 16th [of July, which was the 17th of the fourth month] and we’ll have another fast coming-up on the 9th of Av [fifth month—tishah b ‘av in Hebrew], and it is a fast of joy because we are going to be meditating during the fast on the end-result of the fast and the whole way we are living our lives: the end-result is that we are going to be in the Kingdom of God. 

103.)	Yeshua said that His disciples would fast, but that doesn’t mean that you chose any day that you want. You can add a fast day, but spiritually, you want to do what is in the Bible. Now the NET Bible really hammers it and says, “…opposed to what is good.” So some people will be murmuring and mocking the four fasts of the Lord, and they are “opposed to what is good.” I can’t help that; it is not me that is murmuring; it is not me that is despising it. 

104.)	We are trying to help you to get your life in line with every jot of this book, and that is a good thing, “that is a good thing.”     
105.)	And that way you will know that you are in the faith; II Corinthians 5:17 says you become a new creature. Yes, you become a new creature living in the faith. You know that salvation that saves a person, also changes a person. If a person never shows any change in his life, there is no reason to believe that he is saved, because it is a continual process of repentance. And, faith without works is dead. Faith will produce the works. James 2:17. “Even so, if it hath not works, it is dead.” 

106.)	In James 2:20 it says, “Wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?” Faith with just eating one hamburger a day is dead, because if you are overweight, you are not a godly example of what a follower of Yeshua should look like. You have to get your weight down. 

107.)	We want what is best for you. So, have you been living a lie, or is there evidence of salvation in your life? Or is your life characterized in Titus 1:16? Let’s see what Titus 1:16 has to say: They profess to know God, but in dieting they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. Prudence, prudence. So if you don’t want to fast, be a glutton, and eat all day long. Eat on the fast days. Eat on God’s fast days. See where that gets you. 

108.)	You have to have the attitude of a little child. The attitude of a little child is that when a little child reads in Zechariah where it says the four fasts of the Lord, that’s what Zechariah says.  Now do you have the mind of a little child? Let’s read it again in Zechariah, because we won’t be discussing this again until the next fast on the 9th of Av. “The word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying…” Who said that? God said that. Verse 19 of Zechariah 8, “Thus says the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth month…shall be…feasts.”

109.)	As I was doing this, that’s what this book says, and we don’t need any clown Jewish scholars try to weasel around it. And regarding a period of time “between the straits”. Well, we are in a period “between the straits,”  but we don’t fast in the period “between the straits,” a three-week period commemorating the period between the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. The three weeks are called Bein Ha Metzarim, which means “between the straits (or the narrows).” It also can be translated “troubles or distress,” [and the Jews say “Between the Confining Barriers”]. So we don’t celebrate “between the straits.” 

110.)	We don’t celebrate “between the straits” [as a time of mourning], because my Bible doesn’t say to celebrate the three weeks “between the straits.” It just says to celebrate the four fasts of the Lord, so we celebrate the four fasts. The words “in the midst of distress” is “between the straits;” so what are these “straits”?

111.)	 What does “the midst of distress” mean? Well, the breaching of the walls on the 17th Tammuz (fourth month) was the inner wall, but the second Temple was destroyed on the 9th of Av, so God has the first fast on the 17th of the fourth month (Tammuz). Then there is the commemoration of the destruction of the Temple on the 9th of Av (fifth month). Between these two catastrophic events—the breaching of the inner wall and the destruction of the Temple—is the “Three Weeks.” 

112.)	During those three weeks, the Jew’s pursuers were pounding away at Jerusalem until they destroyed the Temple. Judah was losing for three weeks; so we are aware of it, but we are not concerned, we are not “mourning” the Bein Ha Metzarim (the three weeks). Why are we not concerned with it? We are aware of it, but why don’t we practice it? Why don’t we practice the three weeks? This period of three weeks of mourning is not an “appointed time” in God’s Bible. It is not an “appointed time” in God’s Bible. 

113.)	Father did chose the four fasts as “appointed times,” because He says, “Thus saith the Lord, These are the fasts of the Lord;” but this period of mourning known as Bein Ha Metzarim—“between the straits”—is not an “appointed time.” You go about your daily work and you eat as you always do without fasting during the three weeks; so let’s follow God’s Bible. If it is not in the Bible, you don’t do it. It is really simple. Really simple! Then you have peace of mind.   

114.)	 Bear Note: Why was Jerusalem destroyed? Why was the wall broken down? The answer is because they were disobedient, and God took away His protection. 

115.)	You avoid disobedience that causes disaster in the first place. So, if you are going to be disobedient, going by what we see in the scriptures, God is going to take away His protection from you. So if you want protection, you had better be in harmony with God’s teachings in His Torah that is in His Bible. And you don’t want to be running your life contrary to God’s Bible. That would not be a good idea. 

116.)	 So you don’t fast [or mourn] during this three weeks; you do not, “you do not.” Remember the tragedies resulted from disobedience, “disobedience.” That’s why (the tragedies occurred.)

117.)	Now on the 17th of Tammuz (fourth month) that we just celebrated, we’ll review for you. That was the day when the two tablets—containing the Ten Commandments—were broken. Those tablets (of the Covenant) were blue sapphire, the same as the sapphire around God’s Throne. 

118.)	Bear Note: The “Blue Laws” [pertaining to the Fourth Commandment] may be called blue because the tablets that Moses was given were blue sapphire, the same as God’s Throne. 

119.)	In the war leading to the destruction of the second Temple, when the walls of Jerusalem were breached on the 17th of the fourth month, Apostumos burned the Torah scroll, which was about five feet high—the height of a man—and weighed 100 pounds. It took years to make one. 

120.)	Also, an idol was erected in the sanctuary. 

121.)	When we think of all the things that happened on the 17th, we think of how much better things will be in the World Tomorrow, and that’s why we rejoice during the fast. No matter what happens to us, we can have confidence in the World Tomorrow. 

122.)	If Herbert Armstrong had put everything back (restored all doctrines), then we could not grow in grace and knowledge. God deliberately didn’t give Armstrong all of the information so people [would have time] to grow in grace and knowledge. 

123.)	When Herbert W. Armstrong began the Radio Church of God in 1934, originally he had Pentecost on Sivan 5, 6, or 7; and then Armstrong switched Pentecost to Sunday in 1937 [by changing the omer count of 49 days plus the 50th]. I was part of the Church of God the Eternal at one time so I knew and spoke to Lindy le Blue who was in the 1934 Radio Church of God and she had recorded that the church kept Pentecost on Sivan 5, 6, or 7 in 1934, 1935, and 1936, but then it was changed in 1937 to Sunday each year. 

124.)	Later, in 1975, the Worldwide Church of God kept Pentecost on Monday each year, [which was still erroneous.] Here is the point: Armstrong “fell off the rails” in 1937. He died January 17, 1986; and after a year of mourning in 1987, William F. Dankenbring had to put the truths back so he started the Triumph Prophetic Ministry. Dankenbring’s work lasted 21 years until he “fell off the rails.” I wrote that up in an article in one of the Prophecy Flash magazines.

125.)	I put it forth to Mr. Dankenbring that he should not celebrate pagan days, especially not Turkey-god Day; and he disfellowshipped me because he said he was going to celebrate Turkey-god Day. I said we can agree to disagree. He said NO, you are disfellowshipped! Then Mr. Dankenbring turns around and says, I don’t care if anyone celebrates Turkey-god Day or not. It doesn’t matter to me. Then how come I was disfellowshipped??

126.)	The good news is that [that incident] happened on November 29th, 2008, the night of the conjunction [of Jupiter, Venus and the crescent moon.] You could see it like a giant happy smiley face in the sky. 

127.)	The Obedient Church of God was then set up in 2008 when I left Triumph Pro. The “ten years of Awe” would be 2008 to 2018. 

128.)	You want to follow the narrow gate on the narrow road and not have the attitude of any minister who doesn’t have the attitude of a little child and cannot be taught. So don’t be a despiser of what is good, and don’t follow your own pernicious ways; but follow God’s Bible. Do you want the sign of Elijah? He restored all things; I can’t help it if The Obedient Church of God is restoring all things. 

129.)	So I think you want to go with The Obedient Church of God and not with these smooth-speaking ministers who say no, no, you don’t have to celebrate the feasts of the Lord—the fasts of the Lord—you don’t have to celebrate New Moon Day. But you can celebrate Mother-goddess Day, Sky Father’s Day, and Turkey-god Day: pagan days that you are doing to the Lord. No, you’re not!

130.)	In conclusion, we’ll be celebrating Tishah B’Av [the 9th of Av, the fifth month, which is August 6, 2014 on the Roman calendar], but we don’t celebrate the three weeks “between the straits.” 

131.)	 Here is a sidebar for you: you know that the Roman Empire is no more. And there are more Italians in the world than Jews, but no one laments for Rome. Also, there are more Greeks in the world than Jews and yet the Acropolis and Parthenon are tourist attractions, but nobody mourns for ancient Greece. You know that Babylon is gone; Persia as it was before is gone; Assyria and the glory of ancient Egypt are gone; no tears are shed for them; and we have fasts of joy, knowing it [God’s Kingdom] is going to be restored with a new Temple.

132.)	 Only on these four fasts can people who weep learn to laugh. They can enjoy their fasts because the Temple will be rebuilt. The Temple will be rebuilt and Satan and what all the Illuminati and all the other phony religions can do doesn’t amount to a “hill of beans.”

133.)	Bear Note: These fasts are a profound hope; these fasts contain a message of profound hope. That is why we rejoice on the fasts. Selah. Think on that.

                                                                                        *  *  *
136.) I told you I’d tell you about the “red heifer.” Let’s give you another Sparkler-type thing here. 

137.)	The red heifer in Texas doesn’t have one single white hair. It is pure, “pure, pure” red. In Numbers 19 Moses was inspired to write the instructions regarding the red heifer. Verse 5 says, “Then the heifer shall be burned in his sight…” and it has to be pure. Even the priest had to purify himself with water on the third day and on the seventh-day. Why is the red heifer red? Why isn’t it a black heifer or a blue heifer? 

138.)	Bear Note: The red heifer is red because the color red signifies the blood of Yeshua ha Mashiach, our sacrifice for our sins, Yeshua paid the penalty for our sins. 

139.)	The current red heifer was born this year [2014] in January in the United States. This cow has been inspected and deemed to qualify as an acceptable red heifer for the Temple sacrifice. This animal is being raised in a manner that is consistent with the Torah. Therefore, this red heifer will not be disqualified due to its feeding or from its environment.

140.)	There have been a lot of red heifers that have been disqualified. They were born without any white or black hairs, but they were disqualified for one reason or another. Now, definitely, a red heifer is necessary. I’m going to show you a picture of Gulah who is from Texas.

141.)	Bear Note: The red heifer’s name is Gulah, which means “redemption.” 

142.)	 All this will come to fruition. Look at this red heifer; she is just beautiful with a little pink nose; and even her hooves are red. She is a perfect example to fulfill the prophecy. 

143.)	Bear Note: There is a connection between the red heifer and the Pool of Siloam because the waters from the Pool Siloam were used in the ordinance of the red heifer in Numbers 19.  

144.)	Moses was instructed to mix running (living) water with the ashes of the red heifer. The water had to be fresh—able to give life, not stagnant. The mixture of water and ashes was sprinkled on those who had become unclean. It was to purify them.

145.)	This same Pool of Siloam is also referred to in the New Testament. Jesus sent the man (who needed to be healed) to the Pool of Siloam. Jesus sent a man who had been blind from birth to wash off the clay that Yeshua                  had applied to the man’s eyes in the Pool of Siloam.

146.)	Now when Yeshua put the clay on the man’s blind eyes, the man didn’t see; his eyes were covered with clay so he couldn’t see even if he had wanted to see. But, he was commanded to go to the Pool of Siloam, John 9:6-7. After the blind man washed his eyes in the pool, he received his sight.  

147.)	So there is a message here with a prophetic connotation. The Scriptures speak of a time when, like water poured upon him who is thirsty and floods upon dry ground; God will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, Isaiah 44:3. 

148.)	Another sidebar: water from the Pool of Siloam was used to anoint kings of the House of David, and that anointing was symbolic of the Holy Spirit coming on an individual. The living waters of Siloam became associated with the outpouring of God’s Holy Spirit. Now this is important because this outpouring of God’s Spirit in its fullness is to take place during the days of the Messiah, a descendant of King David. And that is how salvation will come to Israel. 

149.)	Isaiah 12:3 says, “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” The Pool of Siloam became known as the “well of salvation,” and was associated with the Messianic Age. So, to the Jewish people of the Second Temple Era, pouring water on the altar at the Feast of Tabernacles was symbolic of the Holy Spirit being poured out during the future days of the Messiah.

150.)	  Now we bring in full circle of mixing the ashes of the red heifer with the water of the Pool of Siloam: the red being the blood of Yeshua mixed with the water of the Pool of Siloam (the Holy Spirit). Read Numbers 19. So there is more to it than meets the eye of just having a beautiful red heifer. I hope you enjoyed that because I love the deeper insights.

151.)	There is also a latter “water libation” ceremony. In order to get this information, I had to go to the water drawings of the House of Israel. I have a “water libation” ceremony here. Drawing water with joy was one of the most popular arts of the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles. And the ceremony followed the daily sacrifices that are no longer practiced today, but it was being practiced during the second Temple era. 

152.)	Now the reason I’m mentioning this is because the second Temple was the time of Christ Yeshua. So He probably was there during the water drawing. Yeshua used this ceremony to make a bold statement [on the seventh day of the feast]. In the Mishna it states, “He who had never seen the joy of the ceremony (the water drawing), has never in his life seen joy.” See, the ceremony of water drawing was a jubilant occasion. So he has never seen the end result—the joy. We will research this more.

153.)	We are seeing the significance of this water drawing ceremony. The water was taken from a spring just east of Jerusalem—the spring of Gihon—and this spring was used to anoint David’s son Solomon King of Israel, I Kings 1:45. 

154.)	Now this is interesting: waters from the Pool of Siloam [fed by a tunnel cut through the rock from the Gihon, which was a spring] were used in the mixing of the ashes of the red heifer in Numbers 19. And it was at this pool that Yeshua sent the man to wash the mud off of his eyes, and then he could see. The waters of Siloam were used to anoint the Kings of the House of David, and that anointing was symbolic of God’s Holy Spirit on an individual. [After Saul was anointed king, he was told to hearken the voice of the Lord in I Samuel 15:1.]

155.)	Here is the point: God is going to pour out His Spirit upon Jacob’s and Jeshurun’e descendants, Isaiah 44:3.

156.)	The living waters of the Pool of Siloam became associated with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Now there is another point here. Yeshua said that streams of living water will flow from within him. So “on the last day of the feast, Jesus stood up and said in a loud voice, ‘If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. For whoever believes in me,’ as the Scripture has said in John 7:37-38, “living water will flow from within him.’ ” Amen to that.

157.)	That is what Yeshua said in a loud voice. This is not something that Jesus whispered, or said “mealy-mouthed.” He cried out in a loud voice. He wanted everyone to hear the “good news.” The crowd heard; but they didn’t know what He was talking about. However, we know because we are obedient. We know Acts 5:32 that says, “The Spirit is given to those who obey.” 

158.)	So in John 7:37-38 where Yeshua cried out on the last day [of the Feast of Tabernacles], He screamed it out in a loud voice—“streams of living water will flow.” There you go. Jesus claimed that He was the Messiah; that is what He was saying. The people who heard Him didn’t understand. 

159.)	On Hoshana Rabbah, which was the seventh-day of the Feast, Jesus was declaring that He was the Messiah. Interesting. They did not get it. [Shimini Atzerets was the next, or eighth, day.]

160.)	I’ll tell you about Ezekiel’s prophecy of the Holy Spirit. Ezekiel 36:24-25 prophesies, “I will take you from among the nations, and gather you from all the countries, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness, and from all your idols (Mother-goddess Day; Sky Father’s Day and Turkey-god Day). 

161.)	Verses 26-28 continue, “I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you, I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you will keep my judgments and do them…you shall be my people, and I will be your God.” This happens when Yeshua returns. 

162.)	There is a lot more to the red heifer’s ashes being mixed with water [than we realize]. The “red” of the heifer represents the blood of Yeshua, and the ashes [of the burnt offering] mixed with water represents it being mixed with the Holy Spirit. [Numbers 19 states that this is the “purification offering.”] 
                                                                                   *  *  *
163.)     Now, we want to give you some of Yeshua’s characteristics, which are very important because we want to emanate His characteristics [in our lives]. Yeshua has to be portrayed the way He was, not the way you have been led to think. He came not to save you in your sins; Yeshua came to save you from your sins. He came to get you to stop sinning, “to stop sinning, to stop sinning.” 
164.) Since Yeshua lived the perfect life, you can apply His sacrifice to yourself. [He paid the death penalty for our sins.] He wants us to be spotless and live the perfect life, but if you slip and fall, His blood covers you; His red blood covers you because He was sinless. 
165.) Yeshua came to save us from eternal death, but you have to repent. He doesn’t want you to live in sin; He wants to save you from sin. Yeshua showed the example of how you should live your life by [following] every jot and tittle of your Father’s Word. Live by every jot and tittle of Father’s Bible, which is a sharp two-edged sword.
166.) Now we as men can’t do the things that Yeshua did, so we have to rely on grace and faith. Grace is a limited time to repent in and faith is doing the work. 
167.) If you drive past a cop speeding, and he pulls you over and gives you grace by saying, okay, I’ll give you a warning ticket this time, [that is a blessing.] But if you keep on speeding and he catches you a second time a month later, there will be no grace, “no grace for you;” [you will be given a ticket.]
168.)  You had better think [earnestly] about having repentance.  Read Matthew 11:20-21. So you are hearing the Word from The Obedient Church of God, and we are not making these words up; we didn’t make up New Month Day of Ezekiel 46:3 where it says that you shall worship (bow down) on the new moons. We didn’t make that up. 
169.) We didn’t make-up the four fasts of the Lord in Zechariah 8:19. “The Lord God said, the fast of the fourth…” We didn’t make that up; we are witnessing to you. 
170.) Woe to you Bob Theil , leader of the Continuing Church of God, who continues in sin by moving the Sabbath Day to Friday [in half of the world.] Woe to you Bill Dankenbring, leader of Triumph Prophetic Ministry, who continues in sin by moving God’s Sabbath Day to Friday [in half of the world.] It is the same thing with Gerald Flurry, leader of the Philadelphia Church of God, and the United Church of God, and the United Church of God Worldwide Association. Also, Jon Brisby of the Church of God the Eternal, Rod Meredith of the Living Church of God, and others. Woe to all of you. 
171.) Indeed, if the miracles that had been performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented in sack cloth. I tell you that it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon in the Day of Judgment than for you. So I’m applying Matthew 11:21-22 to the Churches of God. It will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon than for you Worldwide Offshoot Churches of God and your ministries. It will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
172.) We The Obedient Church of God humbly are restoring all things. Your members in all these Offshoot groups are hearing about us, and they are questioning you. They will call you to task, and God will call you to task as to why you led the people astray. So, I’m here to tell you that we are restoring all things. We have restored the four fasts of the Lord. 
173.) I told you I’d tell you about the “Berlin House of One,” the first Church-Mosque-Synagogue! The priest, Iman and rabbi agreed on the design. 
174.) We are in the “end times.” The “seven years” have not started, “hand not started.” We’ll tell you when they start as events transpire. For sure, they should start by September 15th, 2015.
The Bible says “no more delay,” but they have been delayed already, so the “seven years” could start soon. Selah. So there may be only one year left before the “seven years”. 
175.) That’s the broadcast for today.
176.) All please rise. You get an opportunity to sing “How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings,” page 65. Sing out and maybe He will turn His heart toward you.
177.) Now remain standing for the closing prayer: arms raised in worship, head bowed in humility, eyes closed in sincerity. 
178.) “Almighty, most-merciful, loving Father El Shaddai, how magnificent are your dwellings and your beautiful blue sapphire Throne, which is just like your two blue sapphire stones with the Ten Commandments [carved on them.]
179.) “We look forward for your New Jerusalem to come down with each one’s name on the door. Help us to remain strong and to remain close to you, and close to Yeshua ha Moshiach, and close to your ways.
180.) “Give your angels charge around us to protect us so that we can see your son arriving in the air, so that we can meet Him and greet Him and hug Him in the air, if that is the right protocol. We certainly can sing to Him and worship Him and praise Him in the air when we see Him. 
181.) “Please keep us alive; keep us out of trouble, keep us out of jail, keep us from having our heads cut off by the New World Order so we can meet your Son in the air and cheer Him on and make Him happier. 
182.) “Father, it is all in your hands. Though you slay us we will still love you, whatever you do. But we ask you to help us to stay alive and out of the hands of the New World Order so we can join Yeshua and meet Him in the air. 
183.) “We thank you for the information about the red heifer, the information about the four fasts, and how to draw closer to you and how to rejoice. Praise be to you and Yeshua ha Mashiach forever and ever. 
184.) “Father, we ask your protection for another week. We now ask for your dismissal and ask this in our King’s name Yeshua ha Mashiach, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” 
185.) Yes indeed, we have it made in the shade as long as we keep on, “as long as we keep on,” because we have the “Rock of Ages” that paid for our sins. We have the true sacrifice that gave His blood, not just the red heifer being red signifying the blood. We are in the age that is actually going to benefit by meeting Him in the air as opposed to being raised from the dead. So, Rock of Ages—Yeshua of ages, cleft for me.
186. And that’s the broadcast for today.
