THE BIBLE CODE is a sermon delivered by PHIL GRAY to a congregation of the WORLDWIDE CHURCH of GOD in Paignton, Devon (UK), on Wednesday 14 October 1987; at the close of Feast of Tabernacles (Succoth). That year, the Festival, observed by WCG congregations at 40 different locations around the world, was followed by a "Great Storm" on 16 & 17 October that leveled 15 million trees in the UK; caused hundreds of millions of pounds in damage; and claimed the lives of 17 people. This was immediately followed, on 19 October, by the worst US Stock Market collapse since the 1930s!

THE PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT HERBERT W ARMSTRONG

H W Armstrong was the Founder of The Worldwide Church of God (1933) and Ambassador College (AC), in Pasadena CA (1947). PHIL GRADUATED from AC in May 1983 and was ordained a minister of WCG in Feb. 1986 (a month after the death of HWA).

REFERENCES to Mr Armstrong’s doctrines in this sermon, THE BIBLE CODE, do not reflect the current understanding or published positions of The VOICE of Prophecy! magazines. The article, What Ever Happened to the Worldwide Church of God, appears in the 2008 edition of the magazine (available on the website) which gives a retrospective, objective view of Mr Armstrong’s “Work.”

In the light of understanding gained in the past 4 years; published in the The VOICE of Prophecy!; it is apparent that following his conversion as a result of his wife’s adherence to a Sabbath keeping church, HWA began by earnestly striving to serve God as “they” were led. Following Loma (Dhillon) Armstrong’s death in 1971, Herbert Armstrong and “the work” took on a more “globalist” character.

The involvement of outside influencers, notably the California lawyer STANLEY R RADER, Mr Armstrong began to rub shoulders with world leaders; behave like a business tycoon; and pivot the church towards secular programmes. It seems clear in hindsight that either knowingly or perhaps unknowingly Armstrong was USED to advance the false doctrine of British Israel which long predated the “Radio Church of God,” the original name of the church, started by him and his wife.

Herbert W Armstrong was a charismatic figure who achieved a great deal in his 93 years of life. How much of what he built on the bible and sacrifices of loyal followers was “God’s Work;” and how much was the work of a man can be judged by what remains of his “work” 37 years after his death.

The organisation Armstrong built and dominated for 50 years; morphed and fractured under new leadership within a decade of his death. Some factions cling doggedly to what they consider the “faith once delivered;” while some members became deeply disillusioned, believing they were misled. Herbert Armstrong often quoted the scripture, “by their fruit you shall know them.” (Matt 7:16).

There is ONE WAY into “The Kingdom of God,” through the MAN, ישוע המשיח (Yeshua Hamashiac - Jesus Christ); who died for OUR SINS, and sits at the Right Hand of GOD The FATHER!

Lyrics by Bob Dylan, 1962, from FREEWHEELIN' BOB DYLAN (1963)

Come, you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs

You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world

Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther

When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won

You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water

That runs down my drain

You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire

Then you sit back and watch
While the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young peoples' blood

Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear

That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatenin' my baby

Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn?
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned

But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?

Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
On a pale afternoon
I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

On Saturday 27 of September, approaching the autumn Festival Season, PHIL J GRAY (then a Local Elder) delivered this SERMON to the CROYDON congregation of the WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD. The service is opened in prayer by a lay member, FELIX DICUM; followed by PHIL JEWELL who delivers the Sermonette: REJOICE AT THE FEAST (excerpted). The main message, THIS IS NOT GOD'S WORLD is followed by a final hymn and closing prayer given by another lay member, BOB MORGAN.

THE THEME, THEN APPLIED TO MEMBERS OF THE WORLWIDE CHURCH OF GOD (who held the doctrine that BRITAIN and the EUROPEAN nations are descended from the ANCIENT ISRAELITES), is now taken to be a WAKE UP CALL for the TRUE descendants of ABRAHAM, ISAAC and JACOB; the scattered and marginalised BLACK PEOPLES among the modern "EDOMITE" kingdoms.

THIS IS NOT GOD’S WORLD
Don’t remain part of it!

MODERN THINKERS BELIEVE TECHNOLOGY AND HUMAN REASON WILL SAVE MANKIND - THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE!

THE CREATOR GOD HASN’T: inspired men or nations to develop WMD; engage in constant WARFARE; or commit GENOCIDE.

IN THIS WORLD, NATIONS who believe themselves SUPERIOR are the hub of “the prince of TYRE'S” TRADE IN: arms, drugs (legal and illicit), sex, pornography, people, child and organ TRAFFICKING!

YOU IMPUNE “FOREIGNERS,” YOUR OWN SINS YOU CANNOT SEE!

IN YOUR PALACES and places of WORSHIP; men, women and children are degraded and defiled; LIERS, THEIVES AND MURDERERS ARE HONOURED – JUSTICE, MERCY AND TRUTH DENIED! TRULY, you are the servants of YOUR GOD! (2 Corinthians 4:4)

YOUR GENERATION IS OBSESSED BY SURFACE, BUT ROTTEN TO THE CORE! YOU WILL NOT ENDURE THE FIERY JUDGMENT OF GOD AND HIS CHRIST!

“COME OUT OF HER ‘MY PEOPLE,’” – ANCIENT ISRAELITES: BLACK PEOPLES! THIS IS NOT GOD’S WORLD!

In the second part of The Day of Atonement, Phil J Gray goes through the ceremonial duties of the HIGH PRIEST outlined in Leviticus 16; and links the meaning of the sacrificial customs of this Annual Holy Day to their fulfillment to the SACRIFICE OF CHRIST who paid the penalty of SIN for all mankind.

THE DAY OF ATONEMENT – PART ONE

MAN DID NOT EVOLVE. HE WAS CREATED BY GOD FOR A UNIQUE PURPOSE; AND TO HAVE A “SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP” WITH HIM.

SATAN’S PLAN:
SATAN (the fallen Archangel, LUCIFER) didn’t like that; in fact he hated it. And he made it his MISSION from the very outset to “upset the applecart” (so to speak), and DIVIDE mankind from God, and men from women – to come between the – TO DIVIDE AND RULE. It is Satan who is “THE GOD OF THIS WORLD” and who exercises RULERSHIP over it.

GOD’S PLAN:
GOD was prepared from the very beginning to COUNTER any ambitions Lucifer has to both dethrone Him, or derail His Devine PLAN. From the very “foundation of the earth” He prepared a sacrifice for sinful man, who could and would bring mankind BACK into a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him.

God’s plan is prefigured (or symbolised) in the HOLY DAYS He gave to the descendants of ISRAEL when he delivered them from 400 years of slavery in Egypt. A pivotal moment in God’s plan occurs in the Fall Festival Season, on THE DAY OF ATONEMENT (Leviticus 16); which pictures the SACRIFICE LIVE GOAT and the banishment of “the Azazel goat” (scapegoat).

IN THIS SERMON, delivered to the Basildon congregation of the Worldwide Church of God on 3 October 1987 by Phil J Gray (then a local elder in WCG); the significance of THE DAY OF ATONEMENT, in God’s Plan is explained; a day to “afflict your souls,” abstain from food and drink on an annual Sabbath day of rest.

PART ONE:
COVERS THE EXPULSION OF SATAN FROM HEAVEN; THE TEMPTATION OF ADAM AND EVE; THE INFLUENCE OF SATAN OVER THE EARTH; THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS FOR MANKIND; the message is continued in THE DAY OF ATONEMENT - PART TWO.
