Pentecost is Sunday 4th June 1995. This is 50 days after the day of Passover. At Passover this year we had an increase of numbers taking it in the proper manner. It is interesting how people learn serving leadership when it is done correctly. Offerings were also up this year thankyou. The Countdown readers are growing and it is going into 7 countries now around the world.
The Jews College of London has sent us an article how the 19 year time cycle is worked out and we will send you a photocopy on request. One of our Messianic Jewish friends has in the past dug out and made notes on the fact how it was LEGAL for Christ to keep the Passover two days (Matt 26:1-2) before in the year that he died. It appears that even before Christ created the heavens that he knew he was going to die and so made it possible NOT to see the new moon accurately every 7th year so sightings could be made over two nights so that he made it legal to keep the Passover every 7th year two nights. Perhaps Mr Meyer would be kind enough to send this information to us.
Nimrod and Babylon had come and gone but the system Satan had set up through Nimrod was still in full swing.
Even after God had appeared in person to Moses the tendency was still there. Judges 2:13; And they forsook the lord and served Baal (a fusion of many local gods) and Ashtaroth (Astarte being the god of love phallic worship and the like)--Judges 10:6; 1 Sam 7:3,4 12:10; 1 kings 11:5; 2 kings 23:13 Jer 44:17-19 Dan 3:1-7 the golden image. 1 Kings 14:23,24. images and sodomy. And behold north ward at the gate of the alter this image of jealousy in the entry of the temple (Ezek 8:5) phallic cults ? Do not kiss, (Hosea 13:2) or kneel or have likenesses of (Ex 20:4,5,) destroy all pictures (Num 33:52) the image set up (Dan 3;1-7) the king of Babylon used divination and looked in the liver--Ezekiel 21:21. Do not give money for the dead (Deut 26:14) Not to let their seed pass through the fire to Molech (lev 18:21) They have built the high place of Tophet --to burn their sons and their daughterss in the fire.
Babylonian mysteries of which Belshazzar was the head at that time --they drank wine and praised the gods of gold and of silver and of brass, of iron of wood and of stone (Dan 5:4) adding to the blasphemy of the occasion they drank their wine from the Holy vessels of the lord which had been taken form the Jerusalem. This attempt to mix that which was holy with that which was heathenism, brought about Divine judgment. Babylon was marked for doom. The city was to be destroyed (Jer 50:39;51:62) Ye have born the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images (Amos 5:26 Acts 7:42,43) Worshipped the sun moon and stars.
These scriptures do not show fully, Gods loathing of idol worship. He had to show his feelings by causing the Tribes to become lost.
to be continued.
Euthanasia, Capital punishment, Abortion, Embryo Experiments, Arms Trade.
Sunday Telegraph, one of Britain's top Newspapers 2 April 1995 page 14.
These subjects have become the latest hot issue. In reality all the major Churches are Floundering on the subjects and in fact not one actually asks What does God say about it and what is HIS solution.
What he said was "In harmony with the magisterium of my predecessors and in communion with the bishops of the catholic church, I confirm that euthanasia is a grave violation of the law of god, since it is the deliberate and morally unacceptable killing of a human person."
So lets take the dictionary definition of Euthanasia.
Dictionary definition is; mercy killing of someone with an incurable disease; act or practice of putting painlessly to death an incurable sufferer.
Because the person has an incurable disease and it is a disease (not at ease or peace) that they have got, and because they are by definition... suffering; then the only conclusion one can come to is that the "Great man" does NOT want them to be put to death, AND that he therefore wishes them to remain in the same state that they are at the time of issue i.e. Half Dead (because they are not alive in the normal sense of the word)
This state of Half Dead, is in reality a state of being.... Undead.
So what is the solution?
Well the "Great man" in his "Wisdom" referred to the violation of the law of God. One assumes he means that part of the ten commandment which says that thou shalt NOT kill. If one reads on from Exodus 20 we go through the judgements and statutes and food laws. But even before we get to Exodus 20, in Exodus 15:26. If thou wilt diligently hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, and do that which is right in his sight; I will put none of these disease upon thee for.... I AM THE LORD THAT HEALETH THEE.
So people MUST be taught the laws judgements and statutes from Birth. And of course about GOD.
But you say the person is actually at deaths door.
Right lets assume the person is a young one that has a lot of potential life in front of them. Lets assume the worst scenario, that they are at deaths door and absolutely riddled with diseases etc. One asks god in prayer, in the name of Jesus Christ to rebuke the demons from the individual and ask god to intervene in their lives and heal them and remove the suffering from them. We have NOW placed the problem in Gods hand. Hopefully God will heal them and then they have to be told that God has intervened in their live and they are to learn to obey GOD from now on and live happily ever after; the time has come to pull the plug. If not then God will simply allow them to die peacefully in their sleep. Everyone then goes through the period of mourning for a while.
Now for the Aged one. We know that everyone has to die sometime, if they want to die then they have lost interest in life anyway hard though that may be. If they are scared to die, then tell them that it is just like going to sleep and they will wake up in the Kingdom of God and they wont know a thing has happened to them. The process is the same pray over them and then let God take charge, pull the plug and whatever happens after that is Gods will not ours.
By keeping a person on a life supporting machine one is really playing at being god.
-------
What does God say. Exodus 21:12 He that smiteth a man so that he die shall surely be put to death. This has been dealt with in the Countdown No 2 But of course more fully in Exodus 21. In this day and age thousands are dying because murderers are going free.
Abortion
Public opinion says it is immoral. The Church of God says it is murder. If
you don't want to marry the girl don't make her pregnant. Exodus puts it a
little different. Exodus 22:16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed
and lie with her he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 1 Corinthians 7:1
says it is GOOD for a man not to touch a woman.
Embryo Experiments
Don't, because the embryo could die; by definition it is murder if it does,
the embryo didn't ask to be worked upon.
The United States and British Commonwealth in Prophecy (the identity of
nations) is taken almost verbatim from Allen's work. Unfortunately Mr A left out
all the good bits. We strongly suggest you read the book yourself and make your
own conclusion specifically read the chapter on THE SCARLET THREAD. Also at the
back of the book is, Rand's Study in Revelation. We strongly suspect that he
plagiarised this and made his own Revelations unveiled at last. The Great
Tribulation parts we suggest came from British Israel Truth.
This rather blows the book "Malachi's Message" (not to be confused with
Malachi of the Bible) to smithereens. In the book "Malachi's Message" the Author
has produced a very confusing hotchpotch of bits and pieces of prophecy which
goes round and round in circles trying to "prove" that Mr A was the Elijah
mentioned in Malachi of the bible and hence the Author of "Malachi's Message" is
doing gods work. His true intentions comes out on page 146 where he mentions
"Backing and supporting this message is your ticket to a place of safety and
a magnificent reward, This is how God makes up his jewels!"
That statement is a lie and completely unbiblical. The bible says that he/she
that endures to the end shall be saved.
So lets look at Malachi
In the first chapter it shows that the person giving the message is the LORD,
and it is to Israel to stop offering POLLUTED sacrifices. The second is that
Israel and Judah are told to stop going after STRANGE GODS. The third is that
when the Lord comes he will PURIFY Levi. The fourth, 1 to 3, that he will after
the final judgment burn the surface of the whole earth up, with the wicked. So
the righteous will tread them under foot. Now we come to the last part 4 to 6
which spans about 5 1/2 thousand years. 4; God is saying to Israel through
Malachi , Remember the ten commandments, judgements and statutes which he gave
to Moses.
And now 5. Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and
dreadful day of the lord: This shows that the Elijah was a TRUE prophet.
And finally 6. that he will bring family unity.
Malachi was written BEFORE Christ came on the scene. When Christ came on the
scene he restored the law, judgments and statutes. He kept the law, so the
judgments didn't affect him per se. He kept the statutes perfectly. He died for
other people sins, so he fulfilled the law judgments and statutes. He healed,
Matt 11:3-6 so he restored people. He prophesied. Matt 24 is an example coming
to fruition. So Christ was a true Prophet. Christ therefore established the
groundwork for the New Covenant. Christ was also the MAIN Elijah that came about
2000 yrs BEFORE the great and dreadful day of the Lord i.e. the day that Christ
actually resets his feet on earth----shortly to be.
Now verse 6, he shall turn the heart of the fathers etc. WHY turn the hearts
of the fathers to the children? BECAUSE THE ISRAELITES WERE STILL STEEPED IN THE
BABYLONIAN MYSTERY RELIGION. That why.
Both way back there and NOW, Baal worship was and is in force. The original
Elijah the prophet brought a message from God in 1 kings 18:21 And Elijah came
unto all the people and said how long halt ye between two opinions? (a bit like
the British today) if the LORD be God follow him: but if BAAL, then follow him.
Elijah then tested them with the wood covered in water, verse 36. God then
consumed everything, verse 38, and Elijah then SLEWED all the prophets of Baal,
verse 40. They, however in the long run still carried on in the BABYLONIAN
MYSTERY RELIGION because in Jer 7:31, Judah BURNED their sons and daughters in
fire; which I commanded them not. And in Exek 20:31 For when ye offer gifts,
when ye make yours sons to PASS THROUGH THE FIRE, ye pollute yourselves with all
your idols.
The fathers DESTROYED the fruit of their own body thinking that Baal would
bless them.
When Christ comes back finally HE, using the resurrected and changed saints;
the 144.000, will (Dan 7:18) destroy the BABYLONIAN MYSTERY RELIGION and kingdom
and take the kingdom and then::::turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,
and the heart of the children to their fathers; the last part won't apply (lest
I come and smite the earth with a curse) because God Being ALL POWERFUL will
accomplish his task.
So on close inspection of Malachi, Mr Armstrong could not possibly have been
the Elijah of Malachi 4:5 simply because Mr A made many False prophecies
including 1975 in prophecy, he LIED about "his" book The United States and
British Commonwealth in Prophecy basically inferring it was all his own work
without giving credit to Allen. He fell into BABYLONIAN MYSTERY RELIGION of BAAL
worship by having incest with one of his own daughters thereby separating
himself from his own son for years. He MISSED the whole point of the Passover
service by LORDING it over the church, as is his successor and also the leaders
of some of the other offshoots. From other letters in the Ambassador Report he
broke up families. From his son GTA, he lied when he said to the church that he
went in front of world leaders proclaiming the Gospel. He didn't tell the
leaders the truth because he would not have got invited back.
To be benevolent to the guy God did not intend any of this to happen, as a
minister in the Church of God Seventh day said, originally Herbert was on track
giving Christs warning message. Yes we are having to backtrack on the straight
answer we gave last month, nobody will die over it and we are all learning.
Unfortunately people love a hero. Well now make GOD your hero and worship him.
Christ gave his own analogue of what it was like to Nicodemus. In John 2:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth (pleases), and thou hearest the
sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is
everyone that is born of the spirit.
So to be born again Christ means to be born of the spirit.
The wind is a gaseous substance made up in the most part of nitrogen oxygen
and hydrogen with other elements. The wind CAN'T BE SEEN, so hence we can't tell
from where it is coming from and where it is going to. The wind is incredibly
POWERFUL, witness the effects of a hurricane. The wind can be HEARD, we hear the
howl. The wind CAN'T sin. A spirit born being of the Christ type cant sin. One
difference between the wind and a spirit born being is that the wind can't
MATERIALISE or DEMATERIALISE which of course a spirit born being can. Wind can't
go through material which a spirit being can. When Christ was in the flesh he
could NOT materialise or dematerialise ; he hid by going in the crowd or going
out in the desert.
So what about 1 Peter 1:23 being born again? Peter is talking to strangers
scattered throughout Pontus etc, about an inheritance (verse 4)
reserved in heaven for you. So Peter is talking about an ANTICIPATED
state, NOT now being born again. If they were born again he would not have to
tell them to abstain from fleshly lusts, 2:11. Or let none of you suffer as a
murderer, or as a thief, etc. If they were spirit born those things would not
affect them because they would have made it; but they hadn't.
So the simple test when a person says that they are born again. Say OK can
you disappear from where you are and reappear in a place that I shall choose. If
they can't then they are not born again. This is a lot more fun than the hat pin
test.
Three days and three nights
Recently a not so well known magazine made the statement that Jesus said that
when he was on the cross he said to the thief. Verily I say unto thee, today
shalt thou be with me in paradise. QUITE CLEARLY this is a translational error
as Christ himself said Matt 12:40 so shall the son of man be three days and
three nights in the heart of the earth. There are other scriptures. This
magazine is lying.
The Ten Commandments are still in force.
2, Is the one that God made with the Israelites which was CONDITIONAL upon
the nation of Israel obeying god. They didn't and hence broke the contract.
Christ came and died so that a NEW contract could be made in the future when
Christ returns. To take part in the NEW covenant we MUST obey the laws,
judgments and statutes accept that Christ died for our sins and be merciful etc
etc. This also includes the WARNING to The Lost TRIBES of the House of Israel.
We now know WHO they are.
Skirt length
Because we have made it a statement of belief That a woman's skirt length
should not draw undue attention to her. One very beautiful young lady has asked;
Where is the scriptural proof of this. The answer is that there is NO direct
scriptural proof that we can find. That is, there is no eleventh commandment
that says that one must have the hem of the skirt twenty inches above the
ground.
There IS however two scriptures that indicate your spiritual intent. These
are ; Exodus 22:16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed and lie with
her he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 1 Corinthians 7:1 says it is GOOD
for a man not to touch a woman, etc. We now know it to be a fact of life that
some young girls have the belief that if they have got it show it. It is the
man's responsibility to hold back.
Sorry young ladies YOU have also got to take SOME of the responsibility of
pregnancies. Some young ladies are not even AWARE that if they wear their skirt
VERY short or expose most of their SEXY legs; that it can almost drive a man mad
with uncontrolled lust. Hence rape. If you want to know WHY SEX then write for
our free article on WHY SEX?.

Letters
Dear Prime Minister 14 Apr 95
We hope this letter finds you well.
Enclosed is the letter that we sent to you before and we thank you for your
reply. As you are aware that since writing the letter the Baring's Banking firm
has gone bust and Germany has taken over the British Rumbelows Electronic chain.
That Mr Booker of the Sunday Telegraph (5 Mar 95) has pointed out that in
respect to Europe, what we are facing is a nightmarish absurdity.
The entire country is aware (Daily Telegraph Apr 7 page 22, Christopher
Fildes) that; You have increased the National Debt by more than 100 billion.
And, quoting him "On today's terms, it costs 9 billion a year to pay the
interest on that". I am sure you realise that the 9 billion would pay for 9
brand new hospitals. Rather than tearing down the ones we have got.
There is a solution of course and so we repeat that NOW is the time to pray
to the Great God of the heavens to get us out of this mess
I am
Yours Sincerely
A copy of this letter has been sent to President Clinton

8 Is it doing the Work of God
9 Does it teach about the old and new covenant
10 Does it teach that Christ is the main Elijah
11 Does it teach that Christ didn't go straight to heaven
12 Does it teach that Britain is Ephraim
A whore1--an adulteress an unchaste woman. a more polite term is
an entertainer of many men.
Harlot2-- one who prostitutes herself for hire--getting paid to
entertain men
Mystery3-- a secret or obscure matter. now we are getting to the
point
Babylon4---The ancient capital of the Chaldean empire; the
mystical city mentioned in the apocalypse; Rome
Apocalypse5---The great revealing; so Apocalyptical revelations
are one and the same thing.
The Occult6--Kept secret, esoteric; mysterious
Pagan7--a person who has no religion or disregards Christian
beliefs
Pagan8 --a person following any pre-Christian religion

Those that live by the gun which the Western World does also die by the gun.
We have now read through J.H. Allen's10 Judah's Sceptre and
Joseph's Birthright. This was first produce in 1902 and then put in copyright in
1917. It highlights the identity of nations, and it becomes very clear that what
was reported in the Ambassador Report No AR 11 page 10 (letter to the editor )
is quite accurate. That Mr Armstrong plagiarised Mr Allen's work. On page xii of
the 1967, 1972, 1975, and 1980 edition of The United States and British
Commonwealth in Prophecy (referring to Amos 3:7). Mr A is inferring that he Mr A
is a prophet and gives no credit to Allen. Also the British Israel Truth book
that we have came out in 1932 as the "theory" was fashionable then highlights
the Great Tribulation part which Britain and America is about to go through.
Also on page 10 of the Mystery of the Ages 1985 Mr A infers that he is the
modern day Elijah of a voice "lifted up" before Christ returns.
When Christ said that Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom
of God it caused much perplexity then and now. We even now have "born again"
Christians. Christ was not born again until after he was resurrected. So with
the exception of Christ no man has been born again.
There are TWO covenants.
1, Is the one that God made with Abraham that is UNCONDITIONAL because
Abraham obeyed him. This is the identity of nations one of which YAIR
DAVIDY11 has written the TRIBES. which has a throne for Christ to
come back to sit upon. This is the Covenant of the SCARLET THREAD in Allen's
Judah's Sceptre. It goes on forever.
