oneAn Explicit Audience

n the 2nd chapter of the book of Daniel, king Nebuchadnezzarof Babylon, had a baffling dream that nobody could knowand interpret —until God showed Daniel the same dream and

its meaning. What was the dream really all about? What is itssignificance to God’s church today?

“The whole purpose of this DREAM,” Mr.Herbert Armstrong wrote, “was to revealGod’s government—the fact that God RULES—the truth of THE KINGDOM OF GOD—the verything that is the one and only TRUE GOSPEL OFJESUS CHRIST! And secondly, to reveal—preserved in writing for us TODAY—what is tohappen ‘in the latter days’ …” (Mystery of theAges, p. 298, emphasis mine in bold)

We have to understand the importance of this dream of KingNebuchadnezzar because it reveals God’s government in thelatter days.

But, when is the latter days? The latter days is the time whenJesus Christ is about to return and take over the rulership ofthis whole world. This is the time that we are living in rightnow. This very moment. Therefore, this dream is for us. Thisperplexing dream of the great monarch of Babylon must tell uswhat is happening now.

The key to this prophecy is the phrase “THE LATTER DAYS.”The dream must give us a picture of what shall be in the latterdays.

But there is a God in heaven that revealethsecrets, and maketh known to the king

2 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latterdays. Thy dream, and the visions of thy headupon thy bed, are these; (Daniel 2:28)

The Great God of this universe reveals secrets. He is the sourceof revelations. He makes known to His prophets what willsurely happen to God’s people in this end-time.

AN EXPLICIT AUDIENCE

Jesus Christ, in His Olivet Prophecy, called our attention to oneof Daniel’s prophecies when he told his disciples about the signof His return to this earth.

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand) (Matthew 24:15)

Christ regarded the book of Daniel as a very significant end-time book.

The book of Daniel is not just history. Its fundamental natureis prophetic rather than historic. Jesus Christ knew that theseprophecies in the book of Daniel are for His own church in thislatter days. We have to understand that all the prophecies ofDaniel must apply to God’s own church today, The PhiladelphiaChurch of God.

The whole book of Daniel must be viewed in the same way welook at the book of Revelation. The audience of this book isGod’s church in this last era just before the return of our LordJesus Christ. God is speaking to His church today. This dreamgiven to a world-ruling king is God’s message today to Hispeople and to His world-ruling king in His own church in thisday and age.

Let’s understand the message encapsulated in this dream aswe draw an analogy between the events in this 2nd chapter ofthe book of Daniel and what is happening in God’s churchtoday.

twoSpiritual Jews in

Captivity

he book of Daniel was written between 605-562 B.C.Daniel was a young, intelligent Jewish teenager livingin Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire

(also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city,Babylon) was ascending to power under KingNebuchadnezzar.

God had given Daniel the very special talent of understanding“all visions and dreams” (Dan. 1:17).

As for these four children, God gave themknowledge and skill in all learning andwisdom: and Daniel had understanding in allvisions and dreams.(Daniel 1:17)

King Nebuchadnezzar’s army invaded Judah sometimebetween 607 and 605 B.C. and many Jews were taken toBabylon as prisoners. Among those taken captives wereDaniel and his three friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah(Daniel 1:1-6).

It should not be a surprise that God Himself realized thiscaptivity of the Jews (2 Chronicles 36:13-21) because of theirsins and abominations. The same is true for God’s churchtoday, The Philadelphia Church of God. God’s own church inthis end-time has turned into spiritual Babylon. (Please readour article titled, “Mystery Babylon the Great Unveiled at Last!”)And God’s people, the members of The Philadelphia Church ofGod, who are called spiritual Jews, are now in captivity insidespiritual Babylon (PCG) of this present time.

threeA World Ruling

Kinging Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylonian empire became thefirst world-ruling empire at the end of the 7th centuryB.C. His power, without a doubt, was totally undisputed.

He was the king of the whole world. Daniel referred to him as“a king of kings” in Daniel 2:37. It was God who gave him aglobal kingdom, power, and glory.

Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God ofheaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, andstrength, and glory. (Daniel 2:37)

The king’s name has 2 variants, Nebuchadnezzar andNebuchadrezzar – one with an “n”, and another with an “r”.Most Bible writers don’t use his real name (Nebuchadrezzarwith an “r”) but the usual variant by which he is now mostcommonly known (Nebuchadnezzar with an “n”).

In Brown-Driver-Briggs’ Hebrew Definitions, Nebuchadnezzar orNebuchadrezzar means “may Nebo protect the crown.” Nebowas the Babylonian god of wisdom and writing. AbarimPublications provides an interesting insight on the meaning ofthe name Nebuchadnezzar.

“The name Nebuchadnezzar is said to meanNebo, Protect Your Servant, but its (edited)transliteration into Hebrew appears to conveya willful reverence to this man and what heinadvertently meant to the preservation andevolution of Jewish theology and Scriptures. InHebrew, the name Nebuchadnezzar meanssomething like “A Prophet is a PreservativeJar.”

5 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

In this prophecy, we can draw a parallel between the king overthe entire Babylonian empire, King Nebuchadnezzar and thePastor General of God’s church today, Mr.Gerald Flurry. Asmentioned earlier, God’s church in this latter days has turnedinto a spiritual Babylon.

King Nebuchadnezzar was given a world-ruling kingdom byGod the same way that God has appointed Mr. Gerald Flurry asthe human leader over God’s church in the whole world. Mr.Flurry was given by God a worldwide dominion. He has givenpower, strength, and glory in this last era of God’s church. Heis a servant of God just like the way that God calls KingNebuchadnezzar as “my servant” in the Bible.

And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD ofhosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send andtake Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon,my servant, and will set his throne upon thesestones that I have hid; and he shall spread hisroyal pavilion over them. (Jeremiah 43:10)

Other Bible passages which exemplify this allusion are foundin Jeremiah 25:9, 27:6. King Nebuchadnezzar is symbolic of Mr.Gerald Flurry in this prophecy.

fourA Strange Dream

& The King's Wise Men

uring his reign as king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar hada disturbing dream that awakened him often from hissleep.

And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him. (Daniel 2:1)

When Nebuchadnezzar roused from sleep, he was unable toremember the content of his dream. But, his dream made himworried. Hence, he became very anxious to know what it wasall about and what it portends.

A dream is a vision or prophecy. Brown-Driver-Briggs’ HebrewDefinitions defines dream as “dream (with prophetic meaning).”King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream was a dream which carries withit a prophetic meaning.

But, why do you think God had given this Babylonian King adisturbing dream yet He didn’t allow him to remember thesubstance or the subject matter of his dream? Because Godwants to deliver the message of the King Nebuchadnezzar’sdream to His own church today! As stated earlier, the dreammust tell us or give us a picture of what shall be in this latterdays. God knew that His own church will become spiritualBabylon in this end-time.

THE KING’S WISE MEN

During King Nebuchadnezzar’s time, the monarchs were

Page 11: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

7 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

accustomed to confer with the wise men of their kingdom formystical matters like the interpretation of dreams. Therefore,King Nebuchadnezzar had to call on the wise men of hiskingdom – the magicians, astrologers, and sorcerers. He alsorequested the Chaldeans to come for this same purpose. Thenthe king commanded to call the magicians, and theastrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shewthe king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

And the king said unto them, I have dreamed adream, and my spirit was troubled to know thedream. (Daniel 2:2-3)

These are the various classes of diviners who were involved inthe secret arts of magic or divination. They were servants ofthe kingdom which the king assembled at his court to consultabout his dream. The Chaldeans, who were regarded as thebest in this secret arts, asked King Nebuchadnezzar to tellthem his dream so they can interpret it.

Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servantsthe dream, and we will shew the interpretation. (Daniel 2:4)

The word dream in Strong’s Concordance is from a root wordwhich corresponds to:

A primitive root; properly to bind firmly, thatis, (by implication) to be (causatively to make)plump; also (through the figurative sense ofdumbness) to dream: – (cause to) dream (-er),be in good liking, recover.

Dream can mean dumbness in the figurative sense. And beingdumb can mean to be temporarily unable to speak or temporarilyspeechless.

King Nebuchadnezzar could not tell his wise men his dream.He was in a way became dumb as what one of the meanings ofthe word dream suggests. Compare this with what has

Page 12: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

A Strange Dream & The King's Wise Men 8

happened to Mr. Gerald Flurry who also became dumb in thisend-time as pictured in Ezekiel chapters 3, 24, and 33.

But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall putbands upon thee, and shall bind thee withthem, and thou shalt not go out among them:And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roofof thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, andshalt not be to them a reprover: for they are arebellious house. (Ezekiel 3:25-26)

In that day shall thy mouth be opened to himwhich is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and beno more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign untothem; and they shall know that I am the LORD.(Ezekiel 24:27)

In like manner, the king’s wise men (magicians, astrologers,sorcerers, and Chaldeans) became dumb and could not tell theking what the dream was all about. These wise men ofBabylon represent the ministers of the PhiladelphiaChurch of God. These spiritual wise men of Babylon also becamedumb in this latter days as shown in Isaiah 56:10-11.

His watchmen are blind: they are allignorant, they are all dumb dogs, theycannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving toslumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which cannever have enough, and they are shepherdsthat cannot understand: they all look to theirown way, every one for his gain, from hisquarter. (Isaiah 56:10-11)

King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream greatly disturbed or agitatedhim. He knew that something terrible was going to happen to hiskingdom but could not really see what it was. This is the samefeeling Mr. Gerald Flurry had when he delivered a sermon inNovember 2011 regarding the condition of the whole church.He was very much alarmed for what was happening but hecould not tell specifically the real cause of it. He did sense that

Page 13: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

9 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

something is tragically wrong in the church. He didemphasized this in his co-worker letter of November 21, 2011.

THIS deeply concerns me. It is a strongspiritual indicator that SOMETHING is notright with too many people in this Church. Let’sbe honest! Isn’t that what Laodiceanism andlukewarmness is like?

He further mentioned this problem in his sermon saying that,“SOMETHING IS WRONG!”

What is that something? He expressed the problem in ageneral way, saying that something is not right with TOOMANY PEOPLE in God’s church. He perceived that there waslukewarmness or Laodiceanism in his dominion and yet he didnot know the root cause.

Two years later, God initiated the Book of Remembrance to bewritten which explains exactly what has happened to God’schurch. These events show the real reasons of Mr. GeraldFlurry’s alarm over the condition of the church.

But Mr. Gerald Flurry was NOT aware about the Book ofRemembrance. He has not known God’s propheciesencapsulated in this book. The PCG ministers, directed by the25 men of Ezekiel 8, have gone beyond normal means just toblock this book from falling into the hands of Mr. GeraldFlurry. They tried very hard to conceal it from him. Theylabelled it as dissident literature. And even just the mention ofthe title of this book became taboo in the church.

Mr. Pedrito Cara, a PCG preaching elder in the Philippines,even ordered the burning this book. They are so AFRAID of thisbook and the many prophecies contained in it. Some of thePCG ministers read it but could not understand the prophecies.Why? Because God has removed the wisdom of their wise menand the understanding of their prudent men as indicated inthe 29th chapter of the book of Isaiah. These PCG ministers arepictured in this prophecy as magicians, astrologers, sorcerers,and Chaldeans. Just like these classes of diviners, the PCG

Page 14: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

A Strange Dream & The King's Wise Men 10

ministers’works are in the dark.

For the LORD hath poured out upon you thespirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes:the prophets and your rulers, the seers hathhe covered. And the vision of all is becomeunto you as the words of a book that is sealed,which men deliver to one that is learned,saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, Icannot; for it is sealed: And the book isdelivered to him that is not learned, saying,Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am notlearned. Wherefore the Lord said, For as muchas this people draw near me with their mouth,and with their lips do honour me, but haveremoved their heart far from me, and theirfear toward me is taught by the precept ofmen: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do amarvellous work among this people, even amarvellous work and a wonder: for thewisdom of their wise men shall perish, andthe understanding of their prudent menshall be hid. Woe unto them that seek deep tohide their counsel from the LORD, and theirworks are in the dark, and they say, Whoseeth us? and who knoweth us? (Isaiah 29:10-15)

Page 15: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

fiveBlessing or Punishment

ing Nebuchadnezzar answered the Chaldeans in thesame language they spoke to him. This was somewhat aprivate conversation with his servants. He told them that

his dream was gone from him – that it was out of his mind andcould not remember what it was. So he demanded that theyshould state what it was and explain it too.

The king answered and said to the Chaldeans,The thing is gone from me: if ye will not makeknown unto me the dream, with theinterpretation thereof, ye shall be cut inpieces, and your houses shall be made adunghill. But if ye shew the dream, and theinterpretation thereof, ye shall receive of megifts and rewards and great honour: thereforeshew me the dream, and the interpretationthereof. (Daniel 2:5-6)

Observe very carefully King Nebuchadnezzar’s conditionalstatement, “if ye will not make known unto me the dream, withthe interpretation thereof…” The king spoke as if he believedthat it was in their power to tell the dream to him but werereluctant to do so.

We can equate this with the behavior of the PCG ministers whoknew about the existence of the Book of Remembrance. Theywould not be able to deny that twenty six printed copies ofthis book were sent during their June 2014 MinisterialConference held at PCG Headquarters in Edmond, Oklahoma.Indeed, it is in their power to tell Mr. Gerald Flurry about thisbook but they are unwilling to do it. Mr. Gerald Flurry wouldbe able to prove if the prophecies contained in this book truly

Page 16: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

12 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

came from God or not. What was prophesied in this verse hasalready been fulfilled in them. They chose not to let God’sanointed know what is really happening.

King Nebuchadnezzar pronounced a severe punishment tothose who would not be able to tell him about his dream andits meaning. On the contrary, a great blessing would bebestowed on them who would. The punishment was that theywill be “made into pieces” as Samuel hewed Agag in piecesbefore the Eternal in Gilgal (I Samuel 15:33). Anotherpunishment that they will suffer is that their houses will bedestroyed which signify that their memory will be lost becausetheir houses will be pulled down and never to be rebuilt again.

This is what Barnes’ Commentary says about the phrase, “andyour houses shall be made a dunghill.”

“This is an expression denoting that theirhouses, instead of being elegant orcomfortable mansions, should be devoted tothe vilest of uses, and subjected to all kindsof dishonor and defilement. The languagehere used is in accordance with what iscommonly employed by Orientals. Theyimprecate all sorts of indignities andabominations on the objects of their dislike,and it is not uncommon for them to smearover with filth what is the object of theircontempt or abhorrence. …

This may seem to be a harsh punishmentwhich was threatened, and some may,perhaps, be disposed to say that it isimprobable that a monarch would allowhimself to use such intemperate language,and to make use of so severe a threatening,especially when the magicians had as yetshown no inability to interpret the dream,and had given no reasons to apprehendthat they would be unable to do it.”

Page 17: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

Blessing or Punishment 13

Indeed, the punishment may seem to be too severe for thosewise men of Babylon with all those conditions stated, but thetruth is, this harsh punishment really applies to the PCGministers today. If they will not tell Mr. Gerald Flurry the Bookof Remembrance and continue to hide it from him, they willALL be cut in pieces and their houses will be made a dunghill.

On the other hand, if these ministers will disclose this book toMr. Gerald Flurry, it will be to their credit and advantage. Theywill receive gifts, rewards, and great honor from God. What ablessing!

Page 18: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

sixPrepared Lies and Corrupt Words

ing Nebuchadnezzar clearly knew what was in theminds of these diviners. He sensed that they would justbuy some time or prolong the time and turn it to their

advantage. They wanted to be able to get out of their presentdifficulties.

They answered again and said, Let the king tellhis servants the dream, and we will shew theinterpretation of it. The king answered andsaid, I know of certainty that ye would gain thetime, because ye see the thing is gone fromme. But if ye will not make known unto me thedream, there is but one decree for you: for yehave prepared lying and corrupt words tospeak before me, till the time be changed:therefore tell me the dream, and I shall knowthat ye can shew me the interpretationthereof. The Chaldeans answered before theking, and said, There is not a man upon theearth that can shew the king’s matter:therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, thatasked such things at any magician, orastrologer, or Chaldean. And it is a rare thingthat the king requireth, and there is noneother that can shew it before the king, exceptthe gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.(Daniel 2:7-11)

King Nebuchadnezzar argued that if these diviners could tellhim what the dream was, they would be able to tell him also its

Page 19: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

15 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

interpretation because both are a result of divine help. Thesame applies to the PCG ministers today. If they can show theBook of Remembrance, they would be able to show theprophecies written therein.

Like King Nebuchadnezzar’s servants, these ministers havebeen buying some time hoping that the issue with regards tothe Book of Remembrance would just die down. They arehoping that the noise and the effect on the PCG membershipbrought about by the existence and distribution of this bookwould eventually stop so that they won’t have to tell himabout it and extricate themselves from their presentdifficulties.

Verse 9 is a very revealing verse. Besides prolonging the time,the PCG ministers have been preparing lying and corruptwords for Mr. Gerald Flurry.

But if ye will not make known unto me thedream, there is but one decree for you: for yehave prepared lying and corrupt words tospeak before me, till the time be changed:therefore tell me the dream, and I shall knowthat ye can shew me the interpretationthereof. (Daniel 2:9)

This verse clearly tells us that the PCG ministers are liars! Theyhave been lying to Mr. Gerald Flurry for a long time. Look atsome of these lies which they perpetrate even openly.

Is Mr. Gerald Flurry really aware of the introduction of Druidicworship into God’s church? Is he aware of the musicals beingheld in God’s house are plastered with Druidry symbolisms?

Consider the title “DAVID” in the David Musical poster. Look athow they tried to deceptively conceal the word “DRUID” in thename “DAVID” by making the letter “A” appear as letter “R”and the letter “V” to appear as letter “U.”

What they are truly trying to suggest is that this “DAVIDMUSICAL” is a “DRUID MUSICAL!”

Page 20: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

Prepared Lies and Corrupt Words 16

Mr. Gerald Flurry and God’s people have been duped by a DruidBard in the PCG ministry.

And if this were just Mr. Ryan Malone’s own idea of mixingDruidic ingredients into his musicals, then why were thoseother ministers who don’t agree to this give out their voiceopenly against this abomination in God’s church?

Now, consider another example of the lies being committed bythe PCG ministers.

These ministers know that Mr. Gerald Flurry is not well-versedin Information Technology, Internet, and Social Media and sothey try to take advantage of it. Notice what they have placedas picture for the “logo” of Mr. Gerald Flurry’s Twitter account– a BLACK LION RAMPANT, while in his Key of David program,

Page 21: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

17 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

it’s a RED LION RAMPANT!

This “lion rampant” is the same image which can be seen inthe unofficial national flag of Scotland.

“Whilst its exact origin may have been lost inmyth and legend, the flag of Scotland isgenerally regarded as one of the oldestnational flags still in modern use. Not contentwith one flag however, Scotland also has asecond unofficial national flag. This onegenerally appears by the thousands whereverand whenever the national sporting teams arecompeting and is commonly known as the LionRampant. The flag is actually the RoyalStandard of the King or Queen of Scots and itremains the personal banner of the monarch;as such its use is, strictly speaking, restricted.

Page 22: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

Prepared Lies and Corrupt Words 18

It is thought that it was King Richard I ofEngland “the Lion-Heart” late in the 12thcentury who first introduced a heraldic deviceshowing a rampant lion, the king of beasts,rearing up with three of its clawed paws out-stretched as if in battle. This Lion Rampantwas eventually adopted as the Scottish royalcoat of arms and incorporated into the GreatSeal of Scotland.”

Source: http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofScotland/The-two-flags-of-Scotland/

Here is another insight of what the lion rampant reallyrepresent as viewed by the Celts:

LION

“Although the lion symbol can be foundearly among the Celts, it is viewed in Celticmythology research as similar to THEDRAGON. It represents warrior gatherings andappears on COAT OF ARMS OF IRISH CLANS aswell as in literature. It is found on helmets andas a guardian – probably having arrived inEurope from Asian (e.g., Indian) and African(e.g., Egyptian) cultures through the Greekculture. The lion and other cats appear in Irish

Page 23: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

19 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

and Welsh epics. In the world of fairy tales, thelion was and still is the king of the animals.”

Source: Celtic Symbols By Sabine Heinz

What those PCG ministers are trying to do is change the imageof God’s work through a man He called in the land of Manassehwith an image of Britishness. And these same ministers haveso far been successful in replacing the Lion of Judah with theDRAGON of the Celts (“it is viewed in Celtic mythologyresearch as similar to THE DRAGON” that’s why this lionrampant resembles a dragon-like feature with an outstretchedtongue)!

Little by little, they have been introducing abominations andlies behind Mr. Gerald Flurry’s back. Since everyone in God’schurch just allow these things to happen or turn a blind eye onall of these, those liars in the ministry keep on adding moreabominations and wickedness through pagan symbolisms.

More recently another significant pagan symbolism has beenadded to the roster: King Hezekiah’s seal with the impressionof an Egyptian two-winged sun and two ankhs on each side hasbeen encrypted by the team of the renowned Israeliarchaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar. That tiny artifact had beenfound last 2009 yet the seal impression was only decipheredthis 2015. To learn more about its prophetic significance, youcan read our previous article, The Key to the Bottomless Pit.

And these are just a few examples of the lies and abominationsbeing committed in God’s own church. We have been showingmany examples of this wickedness in the many articles postedin our websites and yet everybody just keep silent because oftheir fear of the ministry.

sevenThe King's Decree

ince nobody could tell the King what his dream was, hebecame very angry and issued a decree to kill all the wisemen of Babylon. The problem with this decree is that Daniel

and his friends were also a part of this group of wise men. Sothis death decree fell upon their heads as well.

For this cause the king was angry and veryfurious, and commanded to destroy all thewise men of Babylon. And the decree wentforth that the wise men should be slain; andthey sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.Then Daniel answered with counsel andwisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’sguard, which was gone forth to slay the wisemen of Babylon: He answered and said toArioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree sohasty from the king? Then Arioch made thething known to Daniel. Then Daniel went in,and desired of the king that he would give himtime, and that he would shew the king theinterpretation. Then Daniel went to his house,and made the thing known to Hananiah,Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: Thatthey would desire mercies of the God ofheaven concerning this secret; that Daniel andhis fellows should not perish with the rest ofthe wise men of Babylon. (Daniel 2:12-18)

Immediately, Daniel talked to the king and begged him to givehim time to show him and dream and its interpretation. Then,Daniel sought God’s help. And God answered by revealing thedream to him. The essence of what God revealed to Danielregarding the dream is found in verse 21. God has total control

over the affairs of men. He rules in the kingdoms of men. Thepowers or authority that exist were ordained of Him. Heremoves kings and set up kings. God decides who He wants toraise up and who He wants to bring down.

Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel ina night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God ofheaven. Daniel answered and said, Blessed bethe name of God for ever and ever: for wisdomand might are his: And he changeth the timesand the seasons: he removeth kings, andsetteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto thewise, and knowledge to them that knowunderstanding: He revealeth the deep andsecret things: he knoweth what is in thedarkness, and the light dwelleth with him. Ithank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of myfathers, who hast given me wisdom and might,and hast made known unto me now what wedesired of thee: for thou hast now made knownunto us the king’s matter. Therefore Danielwent in unto Arioch, whom the king hadordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon:he went and said thus unto him; Destroy notthe wise men of Babylon: bring me in beforethe king, and I will shew unto the king theinterpretation. (Daniel 2:19-24)

God speaks. He the very source of revelations. And Heproclaims to His prophets what will come to pass. What wasrevealed to Daniel was one of God’s secrets or mysteries today.This puzzling dream is a God’s mystery in this latter days.

But there is a God in heaven that revealethsecrets, and maketh known to the kingNebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latterdays. Thy dream, and the visions of thy headupon thy bed, are these; As for thee, O king,thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed,

The King's Decree 22

what should come to pass hereafter: and hethat revealeth secrets maketh known tothee what shall come to pass. But as for me,this secret is not revealed to me for anywisdom that I have more than any living, butfor their sakes that shall make known theinterpretation to the king, and that thoumightest know the thoughts of thy heart.(Daniel 2:28-30)

Daniel did not boast for knowing what the secret or mysterywas all about. He did not seek glory for himself. He said thatthe mystery which was revealed to Him by God is primarily forthe sake of those who shall make known the interpretation tothe king.

“…but for their sakes that shall make knownthe interpretation to the king …”

This revelation is truly for the spiritual king of Babylon and hiskingdom in this latter days! Let’s understand what thisprophecy is all about.

EIGHTThe Dream:

A Great Image

aniel told King Nebuchadnezzar what the king saw inhis dream. He explained that the king had seen a greatimage standing before him. What King Nebuchadnezzar

saw in his dream was narrated by Daniel in verses 31 to 35.

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a greatimage. This great image, whose brightness wasexcellent, stood before thee; and the formthereof was terrible. (Daniel 2:31)

According to Barnes Commentary:

the Chaldee has it as “one image that wasgrand … The object seems to be, to fix theattention on the fact that, there was but “one”image, though composed of so differentmaterials and of materials that seemed tobe so little fitted to be worked together intothe same statue … The idea, by its beingrepresented as “one,” is, that it was, insome respects, “the same kingdom” that hesaw symbolized:”

This great image is an image of a man. It is represented as“one” because it is just ONE BODY or ONE STATUE.

In Strong’s Concordance, the word image means an idolatrousfigure. The Chaldee word for image corresponds to the Hebrewword tselem which means to shade. Figuratively, it meansan illusion, resemblance; hence a representative figure,especially an idol: – image, vain shew.

Page 28: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

24 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

Barnes Commentary says that this word denotes properly “ashade,” or “shadow,” and then anything that “shadowsforth,” or that represents anything. The word is often usedto denote idols – as supposed to be a “representation” of thegods, either in their forms, or as shadowing forth theircharacter as majestic, stern, mild, severe, merciful, etc.

This great image “shadows forth” or “represents” theleadership in God’s church today – The Philadelphia Churchof God. This image is symbolic of the MINISTRY in this lastera of God’s church.

Contrary to what some expositors say, this image isrepresented as an idol to be worshipped. There is an allusionto the fact that this kingdom would be idolatrous.

The brightness of this great image excelled! It was remarkable.The word rendered brightness is found only in Daniel. It isused to denote a certain beauty, or majesty, shining forthin the countenance, which was fitted to impress thebeholder with awe. (Barnes)

Are not the PCG members impressed or in awe when they see

Page 29: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

The Dream: A Great Image 25

their ministers? This is the mindset of the people in God’schurch. They regard and look at their ministers as gods. Theyare like idols to them. The term here is to be understood notmerely of the face of the image, but of its entire aspect, ashaving something in it signally splendid and imposing.(Barnes). But, take notice of the form of this great image.

“… and the form thereof was terrible.” (Daniel2:31)

The word terrible in Strong’s Concordance means to slink, thatis, (by implication) to fear, or (causatively) be formidable: –make afraid, dreadful, fear. The word slink is defined inMerriam-Webster Dictionary as “to go or move stealthily orfurtively (as in fear or shame).”

This great image is an image that will make you afraid.Its aspect or appearance will make you move stealthily, likewhen you are in fear.

Does this describe the members’ fear of the ministry? Themembers move stealthily in fear when the ministers arearound. God’s people fear the ministry more than they fearGod. They would do whatever these ministers would tell themto do even if their own conscience tell them that it’s againstGod’s law. They willingly follow the ministers in keepingpagan practices which have now became acceptable in thechurch.

But, despite the PCG ministry’s remarkable brightness, itexudes a very frightening aura. Synonyms for the word terribleare: awful, horrible, frightful, alarming, shocking, appalling,vile. This great image’s form is very alarming, shocking, awful,or vile! This is exactly the same semblance of the great whore ofRevelation 17. (Please read our article, titled, “Mystery Babylonthe Great Unveiled at Last!)

THE DIVISION

Now, this massive image had a head of gold, chest and arms of

Page 30: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

26 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

silver, belly and thighs of brass, legs of iron, and feet partly ofiron and partly of clay (verses 32-33). This image’s head was offine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and histhighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part ofclay. (Daniel 2:32-33)

This is how the image was sectioned. The segments are fromtop down. The head is of fine gold. This is the superior part ofthe image, being the first and chief, and compared to “finegold’, because of its glory and excellency.

Notice that in the division, as we proceed downward, the valueof the metal becomes lesser or inferior but its strengthbecomes harder or stronger.

Then a stone suddenly came on the scene and struck the imageon its feet of iron and clay, whereupon the image was brokenin pieces and blown away like chaff! This stone eventuallybecame a huge mountain that “filled the whole earth” (verses34-35).

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut outwithout hands, which smote the image uponhis feet that were of iron and clay, and brakethem to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay,the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken topieces together, and became like the chaff ofthe summer threshing floors; and the windcarried them away, that no place was found forthem: and the stone that smote the imagebecame a great mountain, and filled the wholeearth. (Daniel 2:34-35)

What did this all mean?

Page 31: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

nineThe Interpretation

od, through Daniel, gave the interpretation of thisdream.

This is the dream; and we will tell theinterpretation thereof before the king.(Daniel 2:36)

Note that the interpretation of the dream will not happen duringthe time when Daniel was talking to King Nebuchadnezzar butfor the future – the latter days. As mentioned earlier, this is thetime that we’re living in right now.

Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God ofheaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, andstrength, and glory. And wheresoever thechildren of men dwell, the beasts of the fieldand the fowls of the heaven hath he given intothine hand, and hath made thee ruler overthem all. Thou art this head of gold. (Daniel2:37-38)

Daniel told the king: “You are this head of gold.” Keep in mindthat, when Daniel said these words to the king, he was talkingabout the head part of the great image which representsthe king of Babylon in the latter days and not KingNebuchadnezzar who was the king of Babylon during thattime.

This head of gold of the image represents the king of spiritualBabylon today. As stated earlier, this is speaking now of Mr.Gerald Flurry as the king of spiritual Babylon, the PCG. Mr.Gerald Flurry is referred to as “a king of kings” in this dream.God made Mr. Gerald Flurry as a ruler or the human leaderover God’s people who are considered “kings” in God’s eyes.

28 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

AND AFTER YOU

Now, observe carefully this very important “key” tounderstand the way the other kingdoms would emerge on thescene.

And after thee shall arise another kingdominferior to thee, and another third kingdom ofbrass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.(Daniel 2:39)

The word after in verse 39 bares a very significant meaning.In Strong’s Concordance, this Chaldee word means a place. Theroot word which corresponds to ‘aathaarı aym in Hebrew is inplural form which means places. Whereas the word foranother can be rendered also as other. And the word kingdommeans dominion, realm, or reign. The corresponding Hebrewword means a rule.

Dominion in the dictionary means: a territory, usually ofconsiderable size, in which a single rulership holds sway; landsor domains subject to sovereignty or control.

Hence, Daniel 2:39 may be rendered “And in your places shallarise other dominions inferior to thee …” The word arise inStrong’s Concordance means appoint, establish, set up. And theword inferior primarily mean (figuratively) low.

Thus, Daniel 2:39 may be rendered “And in your places shallbe appointed or established other dominion or territorywhich is lower to you …” This shows us the establishment ofother lower territories which are subject to the reign or rule ofMr. Gerald Flurry. Consider the illustration of the scope of ruleof the PCG ministers under him.

We all know that the PCG worldwide is subdivided into regionswhich is in this case seven regions including the Headquartersin Edmond, Oklahoma. This is how the leadership in the PCGhas divided the area of jurisdiction of the leaders. And eachregion is headed by a Regional Director.

When you look at how the leadership in the PCG is setup

Page 33: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

The Interpretation 29

worldwide, you would notice that the regions are likedominions or kingdoms. The Regional Director has his ownrealm or kingdom to govern. These Regional Directors, who areinferior or lower in rank, report directly to the Pastor General, Mr.Gerald Flurry.

When he was the Regional Director of Africa, Asia, and Oceania,Mr. Max Rumler, often say, “Mr. Gerald Flurry is my boss.” Hewas like saying, “I’m not under Mr. Stephen Flurry or any of

Page 34: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

30 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

the evangelists in the church. I directly report to the PastorGeneral.” Mr. Rumler had his own kingdom or dominion. Hereigned in his kingdom where he was appointed.

All these existing inferior kingdoms or dominions in thechurch are subject to the “king of kings” in this vision, Mr.Gerald Flurry. As the head in the great image, Mr. Flurry,directly command the parts (kingdoms) of the body.

So, in various places of the kingdom given to Mr. Gerald Flurrywhich refer to the PCG, shall make to stand other dominionsunder his rule.

Thus, Daniel 2:39 can be read as: And in your places shall maketo stand other dominion or rule inferior to you, and anotherthird dominion of brass, which shall bear rule over all theearth.

Three inferior kingdoms are prophesied to be raised up or set upwhich will rule God’s people worldwide. Notice how theseinferior kingdoms are described in verses 39 to 43.

And after thee shall arise another kingdominferior to thee, and another third kingdomof brass, which shall bear rule over all theearth. And the fourth kingdom shall bestrong as iron: for as much as iron breaketh inpieces and subdueth all things: and as iron thatbreaketh all these, shall it break in pieces andbruise. And whereas thou sawest the feet andtoes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, thekingdom shall be divided; but there shall be init of the strength of the iron, for as much asthou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.And as the toes of the feet were part of iron,and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partlystrong, and partly broken. And whereas thousawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shallmingle themselves with the seed of men: butthey shall not cleave one to another, even as

Page 35: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

The Interpretation 31

iron is not mixed with clay. (Daniel 2:39-43)

These inferior kingdoms or dominions are described as metalof lower value as compared with gold. But as it gets baser, themetal becomes stronger. Here is what Barnes’ Commentaryinsinuates about the value of the metals of these otherkingdoms or dominions.

“The inferior value of silver as compared withgold will naturally suggest some degree ofdecline or degeneracy in the character ofthe subject represented by the metal; and so inother members, as we proceed downward, asthe material becomes continually baser, wenaturally infer that the subject deteriorates, insome sense, in the like manner.”

The 6th chapter of the book of Jeremiah is a prophecyconcerning God’s church today. In verses 28 to 30, the people(ministry and members) are being compared to the metalsmentioned in this prophecy – silver, brass, and iron. Thesemetals indeed suggest some degree of degeneracy in character.They are being associated with rebellion, destruction, andwickedness. Hence, God rejected them.

They are all grievous revolters, walking withslanders: they are brass and iron; they are allcorrupters. The bellows are burned, the leadis consumed of the fire; the founder melteth invain: for the wicked are not plucked away.Reprobate silver shall men call them, becausethe LORD hath rejected them. (Jeremiah6:28-30)

TENThe Fourth Kingdom

he description of the fourth kingdom reveals its truecharacter. The legs or the fourth kingdom is composed ofiron. Here is how Barnes’ Commentary describe this

kingdom:

“Iron was regarded as inferior to either of theother metals specified, and yet was welladapted to denote a kingdom of a particularkind – less noble in some respects, and yethardy [strong, robust], powerful, and adaptedto tread down the world by conquest.”

This fourth kingdom will eventually shatter all the otherkingdoms in pieces and bruise them (verse 40). The meaning ofthe word bruise tells us why this dominion will be the rootcause of the collapse of the whole kingdom. Here are thedefinitions of the word bruise in Strong’s Concordance:

· to spoil (literally by breaking to pieces)

· figuratively to make (or be) good for nothing, that is, bad(physically, socially or morally)

· associate selves and show self friendly are by mistake for H7462.):– afflict, associate selves [by mistake for H7462], break (down,in pieces), + displease, (be, bring, do) evil (doer, entreat, man),show self friendly [by mistake forH7462], do harm, (do) hurt,(behave self, deal) ill, X indeed, do mischief, punish, still vex,(do) wicked (doer, -ly), be (deal, do) worse.”

Which kingdom or dominion in the whole Philadelphia Churchof God would perfectly match the description of this fourthkingdom? In this latter days, which regional area in the wholeworld has tread down in pieces, crushed, and spoiled many of

Page 38: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

34 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

God’s people?

One, and only one region, comes to mind – The regioncomposed of Africa, Asia, and Oceania which is headed formerlyby John Macdonald. This region boasts itself of the mostnumber of spiritual casualties in the whole world. Aspreviously mentioned, its former Regional Director, JohnMacdonald, has tread down in pieces close to 300 people just inthe Philippines alone.

As indicated in this prophecy, this fourth kingdom will finallybe divided as shown in the feet and toes of the great image.This dominion will be partly of iron and partly of clay. It willbe a mixture of great strength and weakness or fragility.

This part of the vision gave birth to our modern idiom “feet ofclay” which means “a hidden fault or weakness.”

This fourth kingdom which later become the feet with ten toesis the same ten horns who will receive dominion with beast asdiscussed in Revelation 17. Here is an excerpt from our articleentitled, “Mystery Babylon the Great Unveiled at Last!”

“Now, what do these ten horns symbolize?

And the ten horns which thou sawest areten kings, which have received no kingdom asyet; but receive power as kings one hour withthe beast. These have one mind, and shall givetheir power and strength unto the beast.(Revelation 17:12-13)

These ten horns represent ten kings who have not receivedpower as kings yet. They will receive power of rule orauthority once the beast ascend to the seat of power as the“eight king” after the demise of the seventh king.

These men shall be possessed by demons and shall give theirpower and strength to this “eight king.” Are we going to see acore of 10 men from the 25 men of Ezekiel 8 having one mind,rising to power under the leadership of the eight king?

Page 39: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

The Fourth Kingdom 35

These 10 kings shall hate or detest God’s church, strip her ofall her attractiveness, splendor and power, and destroy hercompletely by burning her with fire. Hence, these ten toes arethe ten kings who will be given a kingdom in this latter daysjust before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The phrase,“they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men” in verse43 of Daniel 2 provides us some indication of the kind ofcomposition of these ten toes or ten kings.

And whereas thou sawest iron mixed withmiry clay, they shall mingle themselves withthe seed of men: but they shall not cleave oneto another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.(Daniel 2:43)

Remember that this dominion is partly iron and partly clay.The iron was to be mingled with miry clay. Therefore, thephrase, “seed of men” is the miry clay part of the mixture. If it’sa different “seed of men,” this shows that this kingdom will bea combination of two or more racial stocks. So, a foreign breedof men will be merged with the stock represented by the iron.

And the word “men,” according to Barnes Commentary, “isemployed in Hebrew and in Chaldee to denote men of aninferior class – the lower orders, the common herd – incontradistinction from the more elevated and noble classes,represented by the word ı‘ איש ıysh. See Isa_2:9; Isa_5:15;Pro_8:4.

The expression “seed of men,” as here used, would thereforedenote some intermingling of an inferior race with theoriginal stock; some union or alliance under the onesovereignty, which would greatly weaken it as a whole, thoughthe original strength still was great. The language wouldrepresent a race of mighty and powerful men, constituting thestamina – the bone and the sinew of the empire – mixed upwith another race or other races, with whom, though theywere associated in the government, they could never beblended; could never assimilate.”

Page 40: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

36 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

When we consider the region covering Africa, Asia, andOceania, which race or stock would you consider as the “ironpart?” And which race or races would you regard as the “seedof men” or the “men of inferior race?”

The “iron part,” undoubtedly, refers to the Ephraimite stock.While the “seed of men” or the “men of inferior race,” wouldcertainly apply to the Asian stock and the Black stock.

The leadership in this part of the world has always been thisway even during the time of the Worldwide Church of God.The position of Regional Director is always given to the Whitestock (American, British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealander)–which in their own minds are considered “the men ofsuperior race.”

The iron part of this admixture will be comprised ofEphraimite stock. They will be mingled with other race orraces, who are considered inferior to them. If we consider allthese aspects, are we going to see this final kingdom or rule asan admixture of Ephraimite stock with the Asian and/or Blackstocks?

This great image has shown us what happened to God’sgovernment inside God’s own church in this latter days. Froma wonderful beginning through the calling of Mr. Gerald Flurrywhich represents the head of gold, it has degenerated into anawful and vile condition in this end-time. Soon, we are goingto see the ten toes or ten kings of this great image emerge on thescene, rising in power in the ministry, and taking control ofthe whole leadership of The Philadelphia Church of God.

Page 41: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

ELEVENA NEW KINGDOM

SET UP

od has anticipated this ominous event which will happenin His own church in this last end. And He will not allow

evil to triumph over what is good. “The gates of hell,” JesusChrist said, “shall not prevail against” His church.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter,and upon this rock I will build my church; andthe gates of hell shall not prevail against it.(Matthew 16:18)

In His mercy, God has ordained a strange work in our dayswhich many of our brethren in the PCG still don’t believe untilnow, though we have been broadcasting this message to themfor close to three years now. God has setup a kingdom ordominion which will never be destroyed.

And in the days of these kings shall the God ofheaven set up a kingdom, which shall neverbe destroyed: and the kingdom shall not beleft to other people, but it shall break in piecesand consume all these kingdoms, and it shallstand for ever. For as much as thou sawest thatthe stone was cut out of the mountain withouthands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, thebrass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; thegreat God hath made known to the king whatshall come to pass hereafter: and the dream iscertain, and the interpretation thereof sure.(Daniel 2:44-45)

The phrase, “shall the God of heaven set up” indicates that this

Page 42: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

38 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

kingdom will be of divine origin to distinguish it from theother kingdoms which are not. The phrase, “set up a kingdom”means “shall cause to arise or stand up.” God Himself causedthis kingdom to arise or stand up during the time of the reign ofthese kings. This kingdom is of heavenly origin. God Himselfconstituted it. And He promised that this kingdom will neverbe destroyed and shall not be left to other people. This is basicallythe cause of the problem. The whole kingdom or God’s churchwas left to other people! This verse supports what we havebeen telling the PCG that strangers or God’s enemies have creptin into the sanctuaries or congregations of God.

We are confounded, because we have heardreproach: shame hath covered our faces: forstrangers are come into the sanctuaries ofthe LORD’S house. (Jeremiah 51:51)

Satan today was again able to bring in his men, the 25 men ofEzekiel 8, into God’s church and wreak havoc on God’s people.But God promised that this kingdom which he set up willnever be destroyed. It will continue right into the return ofJesus Christ.

This kingdom is pictured as the stone which came on the scenewithout warning and struck the great image on its feet of ironand clay, whereupon the image was broken in pieces andblown away like chaff! The stone became a huge mountain that“filled the whole earth” (verses 34-35).

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut outwithout hands, which smote the image uponhis feet that were of iron and clay, and brakethem to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay,the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken topieces together, and became like the chaff ofthe summer threshing floors; and the windcarried them away, that no place was found forthem: and the stone that smote the imagebecame a great mountain, and filled the wholeearth. (Daniel 2:34-35)

Page 43: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

A New Kingdom Set Up 39

CUT OUT WITHOUT HANDS

This stone was cut out of the mountain as described in verse45. And the manner by which it was cut out was “withouthands” or “which was not by hands” in Chaldee. BarnesCommentary remarked:

“The essential idea is, that the agency ofhands did not appear at all in the case. Thestone seemed to be self-moved. It becamedetached from the mountain, and, as if instinctwith life, struck the image and demolished it …The word rendered “stone” (eben‘ אבן) determines nothing as to the “size” of thestone, but the whole statement would seem toimply that it was not of large dimensions. Itstruck upon “the feet” of the image, and it“became” itself a great mountain (verse 35) –all which would seem to imply that it was atfirst not large.”

The stone was suddenly separated from the mountain. Thismountain is symbolic of The Philadelphia Church of God. Andthe stone refers to God’s Work through His Two Witnesses.Remember that this stone was cut out of the mountain orsuddenly detached from it. Likewise, God’s Witnesses whowere a part of The Philadelphia Church of God were “cut outwithout hands” from it and struck the image which representsthe ministry to demolish it. They were made to impingeagainst the PCG ministry. And it is implied in the statementthat it was just a small stone. Just as God always start His workfrom small beginnings.

Barnes’ Commentary added that “the vision appears NOT to havebeen that of a stone detached from the side of a hill, androlling down the mountain by the force of gravitation, butthat of a stone detached, and then moving off toward theimage as if it had been thrown from a hand, though thehand was unseen. This would very strikingly andappropriately express the idea of something, apparently

Page 44: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

40 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

small in its origin that was impelled by a cause that wasunseen, and that bore with mighty force upon an object ofcolossal magnitude, by an agency that could not beexplained by the causes that usually operate.”

SMOTE THE IMAGE UPON HIS FEET

This stone smote the image on its feet which is composed ofiron and clay, and brake them to pieces. The word smote inverse 34 is defined in Strong’s Concordance as to strike in piecesor smite. The corresponding Hebrew word maachaa’ means torub or strike the hands together (in exultation): – clap.

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut outwithout hands, which smote the image uponhis feet that were of iron and clay, andbrake them to pieces. (Daniel 2:34)

The idea here is that the stone repeatedly strike in pieces on theimage’s feet of iron and clay like the motion of “clapping of thehands.” It is not just a single blow but continued smiting untilit breaks the whole image into pieces.

The image was not just thrown down to the ground but therefollowed a process of comminution or pulverization. Thissubsequent activity reduced the broken fragments intopowdered form like the “chaff of the summer threshing-floors.” The whole image was beaten very fine so that the windcan scatter them.

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, thesilver, and the gold, broken to pieces together,and became like the chaff of the summerthreshing floors; and the wind carried themaway, that no place was found for them: andthe stone that smote the image became a greatmountain, and filled the whole earth. (Daniel2:35)

Page 45: GOD'S REMEMBRANCERS · in Jerusalem at the time when the Chaldean Empire (also called the Babylonian Empire after its capital city, Babylon) was ascending to power under King Nebuchadnezzar

A New Kingdom Set Up 41

The phrase ‘chaff of the summer threshing-floors’ refers to themode of winnowing grain in the East. This was done in theopen air, usually on an elevated place, by throwing the grain,when thrashed, into the air with a shovel, and the wind thusdrove away the chaff. Such chaff, therefore, naturally becamean emblem of anything that was light, and that would be easilydissipated.” (Barnes)

The grinding to powder of this great image will happen duringthe reign of the kings of these dominions and not after the SecondComing of Jesus Christ on this earth.

God brought forth His Two Witnesses for the very purpose ofoverthrowing these kingdoms or dominions in God’s church.They have to strike this great image repeatedly so as to reduceit to powder. The process of comminution has to be done untilthese kingdoms become like chaff and be easily scattered bythe wind.

Notice how this repeated process of grinding is mentioned as

part of the God’s work through His Two Witnesses in the 41st

chapter of Isaiah.

But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whomI have chosen, the seed of Abraham myfriend. Thou whom I have taken from theends of the earth, and called thee from thechief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thouart my servant; I have chosen thee, and notcast thee away. Fear thou not; for I am withthee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I willstrengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, Iwill uphold thee with the right hand of myrighteousness. Behold, all they that wereincensed against thee shall be ashamed andconfounded: they shall be as nothing; and theythat strive with thee shall perish. Thou shaltseek them, and shalt not find them, even themthat contended with thee: they that waragainst thee shall be as nothing, and as a thingof nought. For I the LORD thy God will hold thyright hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I willhelp thee. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and yemen of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD,and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.Behold, I will make thee a new sharpthreshing instrument having teeth: thoushalt thresh the mountains, and beat themsmall, and shalt make the hills as chaff.Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shallcarry them away, and the whirlwind shallscatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in theLORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.(Isaiah 41:8-16)

God’s Two Witnesses have to continually thresh the mountains(referring to these kingdoms) that they may become like “thechaff of the summer threshing-floors and be carried away by

the wind, so that no place was found for them.” This verypurpose by which God brought forth His Two Witnesses is alsomentioned in the 12th chapter of the book of Daniel.

Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stoodother two, the one on this side of the bank ofthe river, and the other on that side of thebank of the river. And one said to the manclothed in linen, which was upon the waters ofthe river, How long shall it be to the end ofthese wonders? And I heard the man clothedin linen, which was upon the waters of theriver, when he held up his right hand and hisleft hand unto heaven, and sware by him thatliveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times,and an half; and when he shall haveaccomplished to scatter the power of theholy people, all these things shall befinished. (Daniel 12:5-7)

In Strong’s Concordance, the word scatter means to dash topieces, be beaten in sunder, break in pieces, broken, causeto be discharged, or dispersed. And the word power meansthe ministry. The commission really is to break in pieces ThePhiladelphia Church of God Ministry. And when these TwoWitnesses have accomplished this aim with the support of TheRemembrancers, then God’s work through The Gentiles will becompleted.

BREAK IN PIECES TOGETHER

Notice that the PCG Ministry have to be broken to piecestogether or “as one.” The word together in Strong’s Concordancemeans as cardinal one, or single.

Barnes’ Commentary says that “The word rendered “together” ((kachaadaıh כצרה our translators would seem to haveunderstood as referring to “time;” to its being donesimultaneously. The more literal interpretation, however, is,

44 THE GREAT IMAGE OF DANIEL II – THE PCG MINISTRY

“as one;” that is, “they were beaten small as one,” referringto identity of condition. They were all reduced to oneindiscriminate mass; to such a mass that the original materialscould no longer be distinguished, and would all be blownaway together.”

NO PLACE WAS FOUND FOR THEM

These various dominions in God’s church will be entirely bebeaten into chaff. As the wind blows, they will all be carriedaway to nowhere. They will not be found where they arepresently reigning in right now. They will be totally removedfrom rulership or power and from the presence of the GreatGod.

TWELVETHE STONE BECAME A

GREAT MOUNTAINhe stone which was cut out of the mountain wasinitially small but swelled to a bigger size. Jesus Christ,coming in the flesh of His Two Witnesses, is that stone

which hit the great image in the feet and break it in pieces andconsume all their kingdoms. This stone will eventually becomea colossal mountain which will fill the entire world. This is anawesome prophecy and miracle. This kingdom became greatbecause God is behind it. He is the real head of this dominion.

This kingdom called, “ARK of God,” which God has set upthrough His Two Witnesses is here right now. It’s God’skingdom in embryo. God has guaranteed that this kingdomwill stand forever!

This kingdom started small beginning with the 2015 MountZion Dig as prophesied:

And saviours shall come up on mount Zion tojudge the mount of Esau; and the kingdomshall be the Lord‘s. (Obadiah 1:21)

Remember that this whole prophecy has a very wonderfulmessage for us as the end-time Elijah, Mr. Herbert Armstrong,said that it was to reveal the government of God – the fact thatGod RULES! And He reigns supremely in the kingdoms of men.This prophecy will definitely come to pass and itsinterpretation is sure (Daniel 2:45).

The Book of Remembrance

God commanded shepherds to feed the flock, bind thewounded and to seek what was lost. In the PhiladelphiaChurch of God, it is a different story. The Ministry hasbecome corrupt and turned out to be the member's ownexecutioner. The Ministry slaughtered God's own people.The issue of having a "Government Problem" havebecome a weapon of abuse and a weapon to kill.Revelations 6:9 reveal the souls who were slain under the“ALTAR” for the word of God.

A Woman Clothed with the Sun

When Christ delivered the Book of Revelations to John,the message is entirely for the seven eras of the Church ofGod. This is the Key aspect that Bible scholars and criticsfailed to grasp! The message is given to the TemplePriests, to Jesus Christ's bride - the Church. Today God hasrevealed the true meaning behind the symbolism of thewoman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feetfound in the 12th chapter of the Book of Revelation. Aprophecy between a struggle of deception and truth in theChurch of God.
