I posted about Thiel’s new book, 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect. He draws together all sorts of false prophecies in the book to weave, I suspect, his tale of a temporary but false peace that will precede the real one. If I’m wrong, I apologize up front…
I am celebrating 2 anniversaries back to back this year. Tonight is Rosh Hashanah on the Jewish calendar, since Biblical days are observed sundown to sundown. Literally, it means “head of the year”, or what we would call “New Year’s Day”. However, it is so much more than that. In…
The September Legacy Letter just came out. For those who are not aware, Legacy Institute is a school in Chiang Mai, Thailand that teaches its students English, computer skills, agriculture and the Bible. Leon Sexton was a minister in WCG under Herbert W Armstrong, and he continues to teach in…
Coincidences are God’s way of being anonymous, the saying goes. I believe there is some truth to that.

Labor Day in the US was created to set aside time to reflect upon the sacrifice of men and women to force recognition that laborers have rights just as anyone else does. Labor fought hard to win the right to be treated fairly in the marketplace. For whatever labor unions…

A 19 August 2009 article by Joel Hilliker on “Working to Inspire an Empire” posted to TheTrumpet.com and showed up in a Google alert. He covers several aspects of the Pope’s papacy from 19 April 2005 to the present. In the beginning, Pope Benedict tried to reassure critics about “God’s…
COGWriter’s Robert Thiel posted “PCG on Obama and Iran” on 24 June 2009. He reports about a theTrumpet.com article that Gerald Flurry published on 22 June about Iran. Once again, self-proclaimed prophet Flurry proves he doesn’t understand Scripture by confusing Iran with the King of the South in prophecy. What…
On 1 May 2004, the European Union (EU) expanded by 10 members.1 As the EU marked the 5th anniversary of this event, the EU Commissioner for Enlargement went on the attack. The Telegraph reported on 1 May, “Britain has ‘irrational’ view of Europe, says commissioner”. Commissioner Ollie Rehn acknowledges that…
