Did ancient Israelites take give an offering, or at least a portion, on the Feast of Trumpets? Are God’s leaders to lift up their voices like a trumpet and decry the sins in their land? Has the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) been doing that? What about warnings against sexual immorality and debt? What about denouncing doctrinal lies? What specific literature has the CCOG put out that does that? What about prophetic literature? What does the CCOG use tithes and offerings for? Was knowledge supposed to be increased in the last days? Has the CCOG restored knowledge in the 21st century? Does the CCOG use multimedia including the internet, video platforms, and radio? What are some scriptures regarding Christian giving? Dr. Thiel goes over these matters and more in this offertory intended for the Feast of Trumpets.
Offerings can be mailed to the Continuing Church of God, 1036 W. Grand Avenue, Grover Beach, CA 93433. Offerings can also be given online via PayPal–check out: https://www.ccog.org/donations/
Jesús regresará con la séptima y última trompeta. Enseñó que los cristianos deben orar para que venga el reino de Dios. ¿Cuándo vendrá ese Reino? ¿No es necesario que se cumplan mejor Mateo 24:14 y Romanos 11:25? ¿Qué hay de tu parte en la preparación de la novia? ¿Encontrará Jesús fe en la tierra? ¿No apoyarán la mayoría de los cristianos la obra de Filadelfia que Dios quiere que se apoye? El Dr. Thiel aborda estos temas y más en este mensaje del ofertorio.
The Hebrew scriptures tell of a “holy convocation” that is a memorial for the blowing of trumpets (Leviticus 23:24). Which kind of trumpets were blown? Does the New Testament prophesy many events associated with the blowing of trumpets? When are these trumpets blown? Are there six seals in the Book of Revelation, including those associated with the ‘Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse’ that are opened first? What happens after each of the seven trumpets of the Book of Revelation are blown? When can Jesus return, according to His own words in Matthew 24:29-31? Were Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey, and now David Jeremiah correct that the rapture is the next prophetic event that occurs? Must Jesus return before or after the Great Tribulation? The Apostle Paul said Christians would be changed at the LAST TRUMPET–so is that scripturally impossible to be BEFORE the tribulation? What are the events that the Bible shows will happen after the seventh trumpet is blown? Does Jesus return after the Day of the Lord has begun? Must Jesus return on the Feast of Trumpets? Are there seven last plagues that happen after the seventh trumpet is blown? What about the three woes? Will some Christians be protected and 144,000 sealed? Should we take comfort in what the Apostle Paul and others wrote about prophetic matters in the Bible? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and also blows two types of trumpets (silver chatsotserah and shofar ram’s horn) during this sermon.
On September 11, 1980 the late Pastor General Herbert W. Armstrong (Herbert W. Armstrong) gave a sermon for the Feast of Trumpets titled ‘Trumpets and the Purpose of the Church’ in Pasadena, California. After reviewing it, adding more scriptures, and putting in some 21st century updates, Dr. Thiel made this sermon for the Feast of Trumpets for October 3, 2024. Topics covered include “a voice crying out in the wilderness,’ the Holy Days, Christian begettal at Pentecost to be born again at the last trumpet, the return of Jesus, purposes of the church, Philadelphian church governance, false churches, and that Christians should have comfort in God’s plan and the seventh trumpet. Will the nations of the world look forward to the last trumpet? What about true Christians?
The Jews call it Rosh Hashana, the Bible calls it a day for blowing of trumpets. Should you keep the Feast of Trumpets? Was it done away or does it have applications for Christians? What does a shofar sound like? What about a silver trumpet? What plagues are associated with which trumpet in the Book of Revelation? Which trumpet does Jesus return with? When are the saints resurrected? Does God’s holy plan include giving trumpet warnings to the world? Will the bulk of humanity repent or rebel from the events associated with the seven trumpets and seven last plagues or Revelation? Which trumpet proclaims the Kingdom of God? Dr. Thiel goes over all of these matters (and also blows a couple of types of trumpets) in this sermon intended for the Feast of Trumpets.
The Bible tells of a Holy Day where trumpets are to be blown in the seventh month. When is the biblical seventh-month? This Feast of Trumpets is called Rosh Hoshana by the modern Jews. Jews believe that this is the day names are inscribed in the Book of Life. The New Testament also speaks of the Book of Life as well as a resurrection that occurs at the seventh and last trump. Is this a day Christians have long observed? What are some of the lessons that it teaches us? How do you choose life? Are obedience and the Ten Commandments important? Do many who profess Christ not understand God’s plan of salvation because they do not observe this and other biblical Holy Days? Dr. Thiel address these issues and more in this sermon message.
El Antiguo Testamento menciona un festival para el toque de trompetas. El Libro de Apocalipsis menciona el toque de siete trompetas. ¿Podría haber algún tipo de conexión? ¿Qué representa el toque de trompetas? ¿Qué pasa con el papel de vigilante? ¿Cuándo regresará Jesús? ¿Regresará Jesús en la Fiesta de las Trompetas? ¿Tienen los raptores antes de la tribulación su orden fuera de la secuencia bíblica? ¿Qué significa el nombre Rosh Hashaná? ¿Deben los cristianos guardar la fiesta de las trompetas? ¿Cuándo es el primer mes? ¿Cuándo es el séptimo mes? ¿Qué sucede en la apertura del quinto, sexto y séptimo sellos? ¿Qué pasa con las siete últimas plagas? El Dr. Thiel aborda estos problemas y también hace algunas especulaciones que espera afinar en el futuro.
