BibleNewsProphecy: Is it an Alien or is it a Demon?

Sunday, November 9th, 2025


Artist’s impression of female demon (Pixabay)

COGWriter

There are unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Are they extraterrestrials from outer space or could they be something else? Many people have seen them and many have claimed to see apparitions of dead saints and/or angels. Could they be demons?

Related to that, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

14:38

Is it an Alien or is it a Demon?

In late October 2025, 3I/ATLAS came near the sun! Is it an Alien? Is it a Demon? A Harvard astronomer suggested that it was “an ‘Alien Mothership.’ Many people are convinced Earth has been visited by aliens from outer space. More Americans believe in aliens than in Jesus. Several people even claimed to be abducted by aliens. Other people say that, despite looking, scientists have not ever been able to locate space aliens and that every claimed alien sighting can be explained by a physical phenomenon. Tucker Carlson believes so-called alien spaceships are piloted by demons. Are there really demons? Well, God warns us about them in the Bible. Is it possible that all the accurate claims of an alien sighting are really manifestations of demons? What about poltergeists and apparitions? Did a demon visit Fatima, Portugal numerous times in 1917? Should we believe something that appears to be an angel if it supports a false gospel? According to the Book of Revelation, will demon sightings become more frequent? Is deception the purpose of these manifestations? Are verifiable signs and lying wonders prophesied to deceive? The answers to the questions of demonic deception are found in the pages of your Bible. Dr. Thiel uses the Bible to address the subject of demonic deception. He shines the light of Bible prophecy on the purpose of these deceptions and provides a way for you and me to avoid the deception of Satan and his lying spirits.

Here is a link to our video: Is it an Alien or is it a Demon?

Expect to see more ‘verified’ ‘paranormal’ activity.

This is part of Satan’s Plan.

Don’t fall for it!

Here are some links to items of possibly related interest:

Aliens from Outer Space Are there aliens from outer space? Have any visited the earth? Are they dangerous? Does the Bible teach that an alien army will come to the earth and take over? Here is a link to a related sermon: Alien Beliefs and the Return of Jesus.

The Falling Away: The Bible and WCG Teachings Who is 2 Thessalonians 2:3 referring to? Are there multiple falling aways?

Who is the Man of Sin of 2 Thessalonians 2? Is this the King of the North, the ten-horned beast of Revelation 13:1-11, or the two-horned Beast of Revelation 13:12-16? Some rely on traditions, but what does the Bible teach? Here is a related link in Spanish/español: ¿Quién es el Hombre de Pecado de 2 Tesalonicenses 2? Here is a version in Mandarin: 主编： 谁是’大罪人’？Here is a link to a related YouTube video, in English, titled Who is the Man of Sin?
How To Determine If Someone is a True Prophet of God There are many false prophets. How can Christians determine who is a true prophet? There is also a sermon-length video titled How to determine if someone is a true prophet of God. Here is a related link in Spanish/español: ¿Cómo determinar si alguien es un verdadero profeta de Dios?
Jesus: The Son of God and Saviour Who was Jesus? Why did He come to earth? What message did He bring? Is there evidence outside the Bible that He existed? Here is a YouTube sermon titled Jesus: Son of God and Saviour.
The Laodicean Church Era has been predominant circa 1986 A.D. to present. The Laodiceans are non-Philadelphians who mainly descended from the old WCG or its offshoots.

Fatima and the ‘Miracle’ of the Sun On October 13, 1917, tens of thousands of people witnessed what they considered to be a miracle in the sky in Fatima, Portugal. Was this a miracle from God? Can you be certain? A video of some related interest is Fatima and Pope Francis. Here is a link to the sermon: Fatima and the ‘Miracle of the Sun’.
The ‘Lady’ of Guadalupe: Any Future Ramifications? It is claimed that a female apparition appeared near Mexico City on December 12, 1531. How has it affected the world? What might it suggest about the future? A video of related interest is titled: The ‘Lady of Guadalupe’ and Prophecy.
Pope Francis: Could this Marian Focused Pontiff be Fulfilling Prophecy? Pope Francis has taken many steps to turn people more towards his version of ‘Mary.’ Could this be consistent with biblical and Catholic prophecies? This article documents what has been happening. There is also a video version titled Pope Francis: Could this Marian Focused Pontiff be Fulfilling Prophecy?
Feast of the Immaculate Conception? Did early Christians teach Mary had an immaculate conception and led a sinless life?
Origin of the Marian Dogmas: Where Do Catholic Scholars Say The Four Dogmas of Mary Came From?
Assumption of Mary Did Mary die? Was she taken to heaven on August 15th? What is known? What does the Bible show?
Fatima Shock! What the Vatican Does Not Want You to Know About Fatima, Dogmas of Mary, and Future Apparitions. Whether or not you believe anything happened at Fatima, if you live long enough, you will be affected by its ramifications (cf. Isaiah 47; Revelation 17). Fatima Shock! provides concerned Christians with enough Roman Catholic-documented facts to effectively counter every false Marian argument.

Sermon: 2 Timothy 1-2: Sound Mind and Satan

Saturday, November 8th, 2025


End of 1 Timothy and Beginning of 2 Timothy c. 350 A.D. Codex Sinaiticus
(Photo VistaSunset – codexsinaiticus.org/en/ from via Wikipedia)

COGwriter

The Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce the following sermon from its ContinuingCOG channel:

This is the first part of an expected 2-part series covering each and every verse of the Apostle Paul’s second epistle to Timothy. In this sermon, Dr. Thiel covers the first two chapters of Paul’s letter. Paul reminds Timothy of his own role, reminds him to pray, mentions that his grandmother and mother had faith, and reminds him he received the gift of God through the laying on of Paul’s hands. Paul writes that Christians were not given a spirit of fear, but of a sound mind. Dr. Thiel quotes various passages of scripture showing that Satan did not have a sound mind because his heart was lifted up, despite Lucifer having more knowledge than humans. He explains that we have no need to fear Satan and that while Satan can hinder and try to tempt us, he has no lasting power. Dr. Thiel says that while others will realize how weak Satan is in the future, Christians should realize that now and live by faith and endure to the end. He quotes passages in the New Testament showing that Christians can resist Satan, the power of God’s Spirit within us is greater than Satan, and that demons cannot separate the faithful from God. He explains that the Bible shows Christians cannot lose if they do not give up–even if we make mistakes. He also goes over scriptures about trials and suffering. Dr. Thiel quotes the Apostle Paul that we can be confident of better things, yet some who claim to be in the faith can turn against it. Yet, Philadelphian brotherly love is to continue and Christians should seek to do the will of God. Preaching the words of God to help Christians instruct many is touched upon.

Here is a link to the sermon: 2 Timothy 1-2: Sound Mind and Satan.

Most Church of God groups do not understand the sequence of Daniel 11–are you SURE that you do?

Battle Involving the 4th Islamic Caliphate

COGwriter

Nearly all who are part of claimed and real Church of God (COG) groups such as the Philadelphia Church of God (PCG), United Church of God (UCG), COGWA, and Living Church of God (LCG) believe that their leaders understand end time prophecy.

Yet, the reality is that on many prophetic points the teachings of those groups are confused or otherwise in error. Some of their errors have to do with Daniel 11.

While many are aware of Gerald Flurry’s incorrect identification of Iran as the final “King of the South,” some may be surprised to realize that PCG, UCG, COGWA, and LCG do not understand the proper sequence of Daniel 11 nor the timing of the attacks by the King of the North.

What do they teach?

Let’s start with PCG.

In the January 2004 issue of the Philadelphia Trumpet, PCG’s Gerald Flurry wrote:

““And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon” (Dan. 11:40-41). The king of the north is a united Europe, and the king of the south is radical Islam led by Iran…Europe will win this war. But that victory will trigger some other events. Europe will then ally itself with the moderate Arabs and attack America, Britain and the nation called Israel.

Many Bible prophecies thunder that truth. (Flurry G. Personal: Russia Frightens Europe— and Fulfills Bible Prophecy. Philadelphia Trumpet, January 2004).

However, this sequence is in error. The Bible shows that the coming King of the North will eliminate the USA (the land with the strongest fortresses) in Daniel 11:39. This comes before the destruction of the King of the South in Daniel 11:40-43 (for more details, please check out Who is the King of the North?).

A reader sent me the following about teachings from at least one UCG pastor, Rex Sexton:

UCG … I have been downloading their sermons to listen to while I drive the car so I have an idea of some of their doctrines so I can better understand where they are coming from prophetically and have seen some dangerous mistakes. First of all is that they teach that the covenant that is confirmed and the sacrifices that are stopped in Dan 9:27 was fulfilled already by Jesus during His ministry and death and “the middle of the week” is talking about the day of the week He died on rather than the abomination of desolation occurring in the midst of the final seven years with the stopping of sacrifices by the King of the North in the middle of Daniels 70th week. If you Google UCG study paper on Daniels 70th week you will see their official teachings on this matter. I don’t understand how they could get something so clear so wrong, because the previous person spoken of in Dan 9:26 was the wicked prince who is to come, so how could the next “he” be Jesus? …
The other thing that was worrying is that at least some of the ministry teach that the event that tells us the end is about to begin and the abomination of desolation is soon to occur, is the King of the North defeating the King of the South and then he comes into Jerusalem and places the abomination of desolation. The Minister teaching this (Rex Sexton) has many many sermons on their website, so I gather they endorse his position. He said in the sermon that so many people want to know what the “tripwire” event is that sets all things in motion at the end and he said that the King of the North defeating and taking over the nations of the King of the South is CLEARLY it and that it is incontrovertible! CLEARLY he is badly mistaken.
The same Minister in another sermon was proudly proclaiming UCG a non-prophet church as a play on words. He then went on to make a personal prediction after chiding other COG groups claiming to have prophets, saying that there will probably be people in the Church of God claiming to be prophets very soon, who will probably say Jesus is returning in 2027 because it will be 2000 years since His ministery and will warn people to flee in 2024. He then said to be very weary if we hear anyone at that time saying this because God will make it very clear to His people when it’s time to go!
It’s easy to see that if Jesus does return somewhere around this time, that at least some in UCG will be warning people not to flee!
Here is something from COGWA:

Dual fulfillments

Verses 35-39: The reference to “the time of the end” in verse 35 offers a challenge in interpretation. Some understand this as referring to the time just before Christ’s return, and others see it as the end of the Maccabean struggles. Some of the actions can be attributed to Antiochus Epiphanes, and some seem to be prophecies of the beast power that will exist at the end of this present age. These verses apparently have dual fulfillments, spanning from the time of the Maccabees until the return of Christ.

The preceding verses in Daniel 11 represent extremely detailed prophecies that have been fulfilled exactly as they were revealed to Daniel. It is important to note that the Roman Empire defeated Seleucid Syria in 65 B.C. and that it defeated Egypt in 30 B.C. Thus the first identities of the king of the North and the king of the South came to an end.

The time of the end

In verses 40-45 we read of actions of a king of the North and a king of South “at the time of the end” (verse 40). The end-time identities of these nations are yet to be determined. (Treybig D. Daniel 11: The Most Detailed Prophecy in the Bible. http://lifehopeandtruth.com/prophecy/understanding-the-book-of-daniel/daniel-11/ viewed 06/03/14)

It is also interesting to note that the prophecy through verse 39 seems to end before the first century and not resume until “the time of the end” referred to in Daniel 11:40. (Treybig. The King of the North. http://lifehopeandtruth.com/prophecy/understanding-the-book-of-daniel/the-king-of-the-north/ viewed 06/03/14)

COGWA’s contention that Daniel 11:39 was fulfilled thousands of years ago is inconsistent with the view that the verses of Daniel 11:35-39 have future fulfillment–which they do. For more on this, check out the article: USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses and/or a related sermon: Do these 7 prophesies point to the end of the USA?

The chapter that COGWA refers to as the most detailed prophecy in the Bible, it essentially admits it does not understand the details of it. Statements such as “offers a challenge in interpretation” suggest, to me at least, that COGWA has disagreement about how to interpret the statements or simply does not know. Most likely it is both.

Similarly to PCG and apparently UCG, notice what LCG’s late Dr. Roderick C. Meredith wrote and published:

This great charismatic “Mahdi” (Messiah) will gather together the forces of Islam in a final jihad (holy war) against the morally corrupt nations of the West, whose religion, lifestyle and values represent a deadly challenge to the Islamic dream.

He will feel emboldened to provoke or attack the European Union (Daniel 11:40). This will anger the fierce “king of the North” and the forces of the king of the South will be completely crushed by this European power. The king of the North will then come down “like a whirlwind” (v. 40) and take over the Middle East, including the Holy Land (vv. 41–42). The king of the North’s armies will seize control of the region’s vast oil reserves (v. 43).

These soon-to-happen events will be awesome to witness. The “king of the North,” a future European Napoleon or Hitler type of powerful, dynamic leader, will react mightily with a blitzkrieg retaliation. This dramatic military response against the king of the South will set off a chain of other events.

“And they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation” (Daniel 11:31). As this dual prophecy shows, there will, at the end of this age, either be a temple or a special altar in Jerusalem. The priests of the family of Aaron will again offer the daily animal sacrifices prescribed in the Old Testament until a great military power comes in and places there what is called the abomination of desolation.

The description continues: “At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time” (Daniel 12:1). This is talking about the American, British Commonwealth and Jewish peoples. The great Muslim “king of the South” will cause a war, and the European “king of the North” will conquer much of the Middle East. This king of the North also comes west against God’s people at the beginning of the Great Tribulation. This is the same time Jesus described in Matthew 24:21: “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” (Meredith RC. Fourteen Signs Announcing Christ’s Return. http://www.tomorrowsworld.org/booklets/fourteen-signs-announcing-christs-return/content viewed online 5/11/19).

Notice that LCG teaches that after Daniel 11:40-43 is fulfilled, that Daniel 11:31 will be fulfilled. This is a major problem because Daniel 11:31 is the sign that Jesus pointed to, to warn that it would be time to flee and that the Great Tribulation was about to begin:

15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:15-21)

For years I tried to work with LCG on this point as they had a publication written by John Ogwyn that agreed with the sequence that I have taught–that the King of the North invades the USA and Anglo-Saxon nations prior to the invasion of the King of the South. John Ogwyn and the rest of the then LCG Charlotte-based evangelists all told me I was right about that. Yet, LCG has continued with two differing sequences that are in contradiction–which is confusing.

LCG also has the Great Tribulation beginning when the King of the North invades the King of the South. Here is what its Official Statement of Fundamental Beliefs teaches:

The Bible speaks of a time of great catastrophe, called the “Great Tribulation” (Matthew 24:21-22; Daniel 11:40-45; 12:1; Luke 21:19-36) (viewed 05/11/19)

LCG is teaching that Daniel 11:40 is the first item in the sequence in Daniel 11 to start the Great Tribulation. And this is a FUNDAMENTAL BELIEF, which is in error.

LCG’s Gerald Weston had the following in a Co-worker letter dated February 13, 2019:

Correct doctrine is vital to the Church of God and love is at the heart of correct doctrine. …

Doctrine, we might say, is simply teachings or instructions, and in this case, the teachings of the Bible. The Apostle Paul confirms that doctrine is important. He warned the Church of God at Ephesus that they “should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting. . .” (Ephesians 4:14). And he urged the members in Rome to “note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them” (Romans 16:17).

Right doctrine is what allows us to have unity. Paul told the Corinthians that they should all speak the same thing, meaning they should be unified in the basic doctrines they were taught by Paul and other ministers of the truth (1 Corinthians 1:10). And he pointed out that we must strive to keep the unity of the faith: “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all” (Ephesians 4:4-6).

A servant of God must teach sound doctrine as found in the Bible, not ideas with roots in pagan philosophy and heathen practices. He must also be bold in proclaiming the truth and in fulfilling God’s command, “Cry aloud, spare not; lift up your voice like a trumpet; tell My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins” (Isaiah 58:1). We live in an age where God is despised, because this generation, especially, hates His laws. Biblical values are rejected at every turn and a totalitarian-minded elite is convincing a whole generation to do everything it can to wipe out any remembrance of God and His Word. The “culture war” is, more precisely, an assault against God.

Love is important and doctrine should be based upon the Bible (see also The Philadelphia Remnant: It’s All About Love).

But LCG has this sequence wrong (and other doctrinal errors, for details see What About the Living Church of God? Are there Doctrinal Differences with the Continuing Church of God?).

Notice that the old WCG taught something different related to the sequence and the start of the Great Tribulation. The late Herbert W. Armstrong wrote the following in 1979:

What is this abomination? This refers to Daniel 11:31 and Matthew 24:15…That will be a time when the UNITED Europe shall appear–the revival of the medieval “Holy Roman Empire.” We shall then be warned, and readied to be taken to a place of refuge and safety from the Great Tribulation. Forty-five days later “the beasts armies” will surround Jerusalem. Thirty days later the Great Tribulation will probably start with a nuclear attack on London and Britain–and possibly the same day or immediately after, on the United States and Canadian cities. The GREAT TRIBULATION, we shall fully then realize, is the time of “Jacob’s Trouble,” spoken of in Jeremiah 30:7. And Jacob’s name was named on Joseph’s sons, Ephraim and Manasseh (Gen. 48:16). At that time a third of the people in our nations will die, or shall have died, by famine and disease epidemics; another third will dies of the war–our cities being destroyed (Ezek. 6:6), and the remaining third will be carried to the land of our enemies as slaves (Ezek. 5:12). Armstrong HW. The Time We Are In, Now. Pastor General’s Report-Vol 1, No. 15, November 20, 1979, Page 2).

Notice that Herbert Armstrong has Daniel 11:31 first, then the USA and UK getting attacked (Daniel 11:39). While it is true that the old Radio Church of God misunderstood the sequence originally, it changed decades ago–yet some (like in the leadership of PCG, UCG, and LCG) never have understood the change and still prefer to rely on an overridden tradition over the Bible.

Notice also something from the Plain Truth magazine in 1979:

King David of ancient Israel in a prophetic psalm (Psalm 83) provides additional insight into the Mideast picture. Germany (Assyria in Bible prophecy) and perhaps the rest of Europe will be in league in the future with a union of Arab nations–a vast confederacy bound together in an effort to crush out the name “Israel” from the face of the earth! This Arab-Moslem confederacy may very well be the previously mentioned “king of the south”–a sphere of power encompassing vast portions of the Islamic world.

“They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom [Esau or modern-day Turkey, a non-Arab but Islamic nation], and the Ishmaelites [Saudi Arabia]; of Moab [part of Jordan], and the Hagarenes [anciently these peoples dwelt in the area known as Syria today]; Gebal [Lebanon], and Ammon [modern Jordan], and Amalek [part of the Turks]; the Philistines [the modern Palestinians] with the inhabitants of Tyre [Lebanon]; Assur [whose descendants, the Assyrians, migrated to Germany] also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot [Jordan and Western Iraq]” (Psalm 83:4-8)…

But in the end, this European-Arab alliance will prove short-lived. As shown earlier, the “king of the north” of Daniel 11–the leader of the German-led European union–will ultimately turn against the Arab “king of the south,”…Daniel 11:40-41: And the king of the north shall come against him [the king of the south]…The Arab-Moslem Confederation will, of course, be thrown into chaotic disarray in the fact of invasion. (Stump K. The Arab World in Prophecy. Plain Truth, December 1979)

“Israel” in quotes above is a reference to the end time descendants of Israel, which includes the USA and Anglo-Saxon nations.

From no later than 1979 until the time of his death, Herbert Armstrong correctly taught that the Great Tribulation first begins with an attack by the European King of the North, not that the King of the North first invades the King of the South.

I tried to work with LCG on this for many years, and although their top evangelists agreed multiple times (and at least once it was agreed in a meeting by one of their leaders that WCG had changed its view by the 1970s to the biblical view I was advocating; see also December 2011 Proposed changes to LCG’s Official Statement of Fundamental Beliefs), they never changed their publications to reflect this.

Since I was unable to get LCG to change while I was with it, despite agreements by its leaders to fix LCG’s errors on this point, hopefully pointing this error out again will assist them to correct it. Otherwise, this will be another area where those in LCG will misunderstand prophecy.

I would make a similar appeal to PCG, COGWA, and UCG.

However as those in PCG improperly believe that Gerald Flurry is a prophet, nor have they ever agreed that I was correct on this, they seem less likely than LCG (or UCG) to consider this–but they ignore what the Bible teaches to their peril. Sadly this likely means then, that they will not know when the Great Tribulation will begin and that would then indicate they will not be protected from it.

The Apostle Paul taught:

15… I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. (1 Timothy 3:15)

On the prophetic sequence of Daniel 11, as well as on certain points of conduct, neither PCG nor LCG can be considered the “pillar and ground of the truth,” which is part of why neither hold the Philadelphia mantle. When I checked LCG’s Official Statement of Beliefs this year, it still had serious errors.

There are many ramifications of the errors that PCG, UCG, and LCG hold.

One to consider is that unless they change their positions, NEITHER PCG NOR UCG NOR LCG OR OTHERS IN MANY COGS WILL REALIZE WHEN THE GREAT TRIBULATION WILL BEGIN AND THEIR SUPPORTERS WILL NOT FLEE TO BE PROTECTED IN A PLACE OF SAFETY IN THE WILDERNESS (Revelation 12:14-16). Their positions will be proven to be false.

We in the Continuing Church of God strive to always rely on the Bible over tradition: “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts” (2 Peter 1:19, KJV).

Will you truly rely on the more sure word of prophecy? Or traditions that will be proven to be false?

Related to the Book of Daniel, in 2025, the Continuing Church of God put out the following ten sermons covering each and every verse in it:

  1. Daniel 1-3: Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream
  2. Daniel 4-5: The Handwriting on the Wall
  3. Daniel 6-8: Four Beasts and the King of the North
  4. Daniel 9: 70 Years & 70 Weeks Prophecie
  5. Daniel 10-11:32: Prophecies Fulfilled in History
  6. Daniel 11:24-31: Events to Watch For
  7. Daniel 11:32-38: Philadelphian Persecution and Witness
  8. Daniel 11:39: Conquering of the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, part I
  9. Daniel 11:39: Conquering of the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, part II
  10. Daniel 11:40-12:13: End of Islam and the Beast, 1260, 1290, and 1335 days

The Philadelphia Church Era was predominant circa 1933 A.D. to 1986 A.D. The old Radio Church of God and old Worldwide Church of God, now the remnant of that era is basically the most faithful in the Church of God, like who hold to the beliefs and practices of the Continuing Church of God.
The Laodicean Church Era has been predominant circa 1986 A.D. to present. The Laodiceans are non-Philadelphians who mainly descended from the old WCG or its offshoots.  They do not properly understand the work or biblical prophecies and will face the Great Tribulation if they do not repent.

The anti-COG Exit & Support Network posted the following related to the second marriage of PCG’s Gerald Flurry:

Vicki Barreiro Has Left Her Husband:

November 2, 2025

It was announced yesterday that Vikki Flurry has left her husband, Gerald Flurry.

The sermon was by Stephen Flurry, and included long clips by Herbert Armstrong, and Gerald Flurry, haranguing about supporting “God’s true church,” and then horrible Laodiceans. Much yelling–which I could hear from the other room. It was entitled: “Fight, Fight, Fight.”

It is my understanding that Gerald Flurry and Vikki Barreiro got married on 16 November 2020.

BibleNewsProphecy: Euro vs Dollar: And the winner is?

Sunday, November 2nd, 2025

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised alarms about US government debt:

The United States is on track to record the steepest debt increase among major economies, according to the IMF — surpassing levels in Italy and Greece for the first time this century. …

The United States will see the steepest increase among major advanced economies when it comes to debt-to-GDP ratio, according to the IMF.

From 2023 to 2030, general government gross debt will climb from 119.8% of GDP in 2023 to 143.4% in 2030.

The institution noted that the United States will, for the first time this century, surpass Italy and Greece on this front — long viewed as the developed world’s most indebted states. …

In the United States, the old-age dependency ratio is projected to rise to around 40% by 2050. … With fewer workers supporting more retirees, debt ratios risk spiralling further as governments borrow to maintain social stability. https://www.euronews.com/business/2025/10/27/us-borrowing-expected-to-rival-europes-most-indebted-states-says-imf

This accumulation of debt, ageing and higher borrowing costs is no longer a local concern. It is, as the IMF stated, a global systemic risk that could amplify vulnerabilities across financial markets.

The Bible prophesies that debt will be a factor in the coming takeover of the USA per Habakkuk 2:6-8.

In 2025, the value of the USA dollar has dropped against many currencies.

Consider the following:

  • The Euro is up 12-13% this year compared to the USA dollar, hence more are seeing it as a better alternative.
  • US debt policies are weakening the value of the USA dollar.
  • Trump Administration sanction, tariff, and trade policies are turning nations away from the USA dollar.
  • The BRICS group was partially formed to bypass the USA dollar.
  • With 41 nations in SEPA, the tide is turning towards the Euro.
  • The rise of Europe as the end time Babylonian trade power is prophesied in the Bible.
  • This will not and well for the USA or its dollar.

Could the euro replace the dollar?

Related to that, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

14:55

Euro vs Dollar: And the winner is?

In October 2025, the European Payments Council of the European Union announced that four more nations were entering into Single Euro Payments Area, also known as SEPA. This brings the total to 41 nations, representing 550 million people that are in SEPA. SEPA does not cover payments in currencies other than the euro, hence this is a euro promoting group. In 2025, the euro has gained 12-13% vs. the US dollar which has declined. Factors such as US financial policies, tariffs, debt, Donald Trump, and threats have been cited as factors. While the euro can drop in value, many are wondering if the euro will replace the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency? Bloomberg has asserted, “There Is an Alternative to the Dollar — It’s the Euro.” IN addition to SEPA, nations in the BRICS+ alliance are also pushing to reduce, and eliminate, the use of the US dollar in cross-border trade–BRICS+ represents 4.45 billion people–between BRICS+ and SEPA, that is about a total of 5 billion people or 62.4% of the world’s population, that are in organizations that are working to reduce use of the US dollar. Plus there are other nations such as Iran, Venezuela, and North Korea, who want to do that as well. Back in 1971, the old ‘Plain Truth’ magazine warned, “A ‘United States of Europe’ possessing one single currency – a currency so strong that it will replace the U. S. dollar as the kingpin currency of world trade.” Europe did come up with its own currency and we are seeing it increasingly used for cross-border trade. The massively negative impact on the US economy for its dollar to be dethroned as the world’s primary reserve and trading currency would be real. Does this align with biblical prophecies? Dr. Thiel, himself, warned in December 2024, that in 2025, “US Dollar Dominance will Decrease,” and it has. In this video, Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel discuss these matters as well possibly when the US dollar may be dethroned and that a European currency, with some type of at least implied gold backing, may replace it.

Here is a link to our video: Euro vs Dollar: And the winner is?

The end of US dollar dominance is coming. 41 nations in SEPA is another block (like BRICS+) that is working to bypass the USA dollar.

There are many unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s statements and policies.

Sermon: Do You Have an Immortal Soul?

Saturday, November 1st, 2025

COGwriter

Yesterday was observed as ‘All Saint’s Day’ by Roman Catholics, with today called ‘All Souls Day.’

But what is a soul? Can it die?

The Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce the following sermon from its ContinuingCOG channel:

1:14:26

Are humans immortal? Does the Old Testament teach that souls can die? What is a nephesh? Did Jesus teach that souls could be destroyed in Gehenna? Do murderers have eternal life in them? Is death like sleep? Did pagans teach the immortality of the soul. Did Justin Martyr state that those who claimed human souls go to heaven upon death are not Christian? Is human death like sleep? Should that be a comfort to Christians? Is there a spirit in man? Do Christians have eternal life now or at the first resurrection? What was the first recorded lie in the Bible? Do most who claim Christianity believe that lie today? Is there a physical resurrection? Is the second death permanent annihilation? Did Simon Magus, Egyptians, Greek philosophers, and followers of the sun god Mithras teach the immortality of the soul? Who is the only human who has immortality? Did Martin Luther King, Jr. point out that the world’s Christianity derived doctrines from Mithraism? What is the state of the dead? Why did God not make humans immortal? Is there hope for Adam and Eve? What will resurrected Christians do? Dr. Thiel quotes the Bible, historical records, and other sources to address these questions.

The Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

15:21

Anger and Rebellion

Anger and rebellion have been issues throughout history. Do scientific studies point to venting one’s anger has the answer or something else? What does the Bible say about anger? Is anger ever a sin? Can people repent of rebellion? Do those that harden their hearts risk a root of bitterness? Does the company you keep affect you? Can relaxation and meditation help with anger? Did Jesus teach that we are to to love and do good even to those that hate us? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel discuss these matters and more.

Here is a link to the video: Anger and Rebellion.

Despite our personal flaws, we all need to be striving for perfection–which includes controlling anger.

Does the Bible give particular positions to pray in? What does God want you to pray for? What if what you want is difficult? What if what you want is humanly impossible? Why doesn’t God seem to answer all prayers? This free booklet answers all those questions and more. This contains 28 biblically-based tips on improving the effectiveness of your prayers. This is a pdf.

David Pack of the Restored Church of God says it is impossible for the Kingdom to not come on December 19, 2025; COGwriter says that date is NOT possible.

Sunday, October 26th, 2025

 
Logo of the Restored Church of God

COGwriter

Over the years, this COGwriter Church of God News page has denounced predictions and dates associated with many.

Outside the Church of God, in the Protestant world, this has included denouncing people like the late Harold Camping (see Harold Camping’s Teachings About the End of the World Do Not Agree with the Bible), Jonathan Kahn (e.g. The Great Tribulation: Is 2022 possible? What about 2023?), and Mark Biltz (e.g. Aphosis ‘Darkness’ Asteroid coming–Wormwood or is Mark Biltz wrong again?). I have also often denounced false predictions from Jewish rabbis (e.g. see Rabbi Yekutiel Fish: Next year will be the final Jubilee, year of Messiah’s arrival).

Related to those who CLAIM to be in the Church of God, I have specifically denounced several for false dates and predictions including Ronald Weinland (see CGPKG: Concerns About Ronald Weinland’s Church of God-Preparing for the Kingdom of God), the late James Malm (see Shining Light: Error-Ridden James Malm Not Doing an Elijah Work), the late William Dankenbring (see TPM: Teachings of Triumph Prophetic Ministries), Gerald Flurry (see PCG: Teachings Unique to the Philadelphia Church of God), and David Pack (see RCG: Why Not the Restored Church of God?) among others.

David Pack, of the Restored Church of God, seems to relish in setting dates and then changing them.

Now, supposedly he will not change his latest date, which is supposed to be December 19, 2025 for the Kingdom of God to arrive.

Former RCG employee Marc Cebrian posted the following after watching a couple of videos this month from David Pack:

Displaying inexplicable confidence during Part 602 on October 18, Dave admitted he was “all in” on the new date for the arrival of the Kingdom, which is now finally, definitely, and certainly at the moment of sunset in Jerusalem on Friday, December 19, 2025, which begins Kislev 30. … here are some doozy quotes that will surely not age well in the lead-up to December 19, 2025.

  • “The only way I could be dissuaded…is if God or Gabriel spoke from heaven with an oracle to tell me otherwise.”
  • “It’s the inevitable day we would learn which day can delay no further and be sure that we have it right.”
  • “It’s impossible, it’s impossible, impossible, impossible that we’re wrong.”
  • “This is the day I and we have waited for.”
  • “… there’s no way it’s wrong this time. [chuckles] No way.”
  • “I’m gonna prove absolutely, unequivocally, it has to be this year.”
  • “It’s as unbreakable as a diamond… If anyone doubts Kislev 30 and December 19th, rouse yourself.”
  • “…or God ended the book of Daniel teasing us.”
  • “I couldn’t possibly ever offer another date in their place. Could never be done. I’m absolutely all in on this date. Period. Our official position is that if all of that can be wrong, we can never know when either Kingdom arrives.”
  • “Only an oracle from God or Gabriel or Christ could change my mind.”

It will take something far less than this to change his mind, such as a sneaking suspicion or when Dave is mildly uncomfortable.

Some of these quotes should sound familiar because David C. Pack has been repeating them since 2013. The brethren of The Restored Church of God should know better, but they willfully choose blindness because facing the truth about the human idol they worship is too horrific to face.

Pastor General David C. Pack is a blaspheming, hypocritical liar, a false teacher, a false apostle, and a false prophet.

I watched parts of the videos myself–and heard most, if not all of the quotes Marc Cebrian typed out. Here are some that I will add that Marc did not type out that I heard David Pack state:

“I am absolutely all in on this date …only an oracle from God, Gabriel, or Christ could change my mind. It’s impossible, impossible, impossible, that we are wrong.”

David Pack IS TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY WRONG! THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL NOT BE ESTABLISHED IN 2025! I have long believed that he is among those that Peter warned about in the following:

1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. (2 Peter 2:1-3)

12 But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. (2 Peter 2:12-14)

18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage. (2 Peter 2:18-19)

While I wish David Pack no ill, I pray he and those with him will open their eyes and see the truth.

Now sadly, because of false prophets, most in the Church of God do not believe that God has any prophets in the 21st century.

That is a dangerous and, at best, Laodicean, position to hold as prophets were to exist in the last days per Acts 2:17-18.

The Apostle Peter declared:

17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. 18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.  (Acts 2:17-18)

This is a prophecy, according to the Bible, for the last days. Norman Edwards, who once worked for the old WCG and was once on the board of the old GCG wrote the following:

There are over 40 separate passages about prophets and their prophecies in the New Testament—so many that one might easily get tired of reading them! We have left out verses about the Old Testament prophets and New Testament false prophets to keep the list shorter. If we want God to show us what will happen in the future, we need to “desire earnestly to prophesy” (1Cor 14:39). It is a New Testament teaching we must not ignore!

John 16:13 “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.”

Eph 2:19-20 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,

Eph 3:3-5 how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:

Eph 4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

1Th 5:19-21 Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good.

1Tim 1:18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

1Tim 4:14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

2Tim 3:1-2, 5 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be… lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

Do people today have faith that God is able to prophecy through people in their congregations?

1Jo 4:1-2 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

Note: If there were no true prophets, there would be no need to “test the spirits”—because every prophet would be a “false prophet”. But because there are both true prophets and false prophets, we need to “test the spirits”. (Edwards N. Need Prophets More than Prophecy. Shepherd’s Voice, Fall 2013)

While that is true, non-Christians and Laodiceans do not take the warnings and prophecies seriously enough. But they should repent according to Jesus (cf. Revelation 3:14-22). See also, Does the CCOG have the confirmed signs of Acts 2:17-18?

Now, when can the Kingdom of God come?

Well, it does not come until Jesus returns.

That cannot be in 2025.

Why?

Because several of the signs Jesus said need to occur have not yet occurred.

Notice the following:

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. (Matthew 24:3-5)

Probably just like you, the disciples wanted to know. But also notice that Jesus said to be careful about being deceived, including by people who teach that Jesus is the Christ.

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. (Matthew 24:4-16)

We have NOT seen “the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” and the Great Tribulation does not happen until after that.

Furthermore, Jesus, continuing, stated:

21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. (Matthew 24:21-22)

Jesus then pointed to signs in the heavens that are AFTER the tribulation and then stated He would return:

29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matthew 24:29-31)

That said, there is no possibility that the Great Tribulation can happen in 2025 or that Jesus will return this year. Now, I realize that David Pack has other reasoning about much of this–but he is wrong and will be shown to be wrong again.

It is only those who overlook scripture and rely on their own views and/or false traditions who make the mistake of thinking that Jesus can return in 2025.

Do not let the existence of false prophets dissuade you from looking into the fact that the Bible says that there would be true ones in the last days.

Remember, also, as Jesus taught, to pray for His kingdom of come (Matthew 6:10).
