COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n A couple of years ago, I received the following in an email about the Philadelphia Church of God<\/a>:<\/p>\n Did you know that Flurry made a announcement in The Church that no one could have any children any more .As He said it\u2019s time to go, any moment, and He wants all the people to tell all of their familys\u2026 that are in some of what He calls \u201cOff Shoots\u201d He wants them all back..?<\/p>\n …a CD just was distributed in all Churches, of the [PCG] \u201cof course.\u201d.. They are to tell ALL , The family members and \u201call others\u201d that left and in \u201cTHE OFF SHOOTS\u201d. \u201cThat it is time\u201d for all to return to \u201cThe True Church\u201d, as it\u2019s time to go very soon now.. They are not allowed to have anymore children, if they do it\u2019s possible they might be put out and unable to go to the Place of Saftey\u2026 This is what I heard, one could never have the proof as He has all the CD\u2019s destroyed after hearing them.. [ Look on Exit and Support ].. for more details.. Flurry, forbids any \u201cCD\u201dS going out\u201d.. If he finds some one tell anyone anything \u201cThere marked\u201d…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n While I have not listened to Gerald Flurry’s CD, Gerald Flurry does have a history of being off in his prophetic understandings.\u00a0 He also seems to like to acquire artifacts to the point that sometimes seems to be idolatrous (e.g. PCG Added Another Relic<\/a>). The time to flee is not imminent and the Great Tribulation will not begin before 2019.<\/p>\n What about this issue about becoming pregnant?<\/p>\n Jesus told of a time when being pregnant would be a problem:<\/p>\n 15<\/sup> “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<\/sup> then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17<\/sup> Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18<\/sup> And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19<\/sup> But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20<\/sup> And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.<\/p>\n 21<\/sup> 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<\/sup>And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved<\/strong>; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened (Matthew 24:15-22).<\/p>\n As far as when the time will come to not get pregnant, back in 2009, I actually wrote about this in my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect<\/a> as follows:<\/p>\n A year or two after this Daniel 9:27 deal is made, women may wish to be careful about becoming pregnant, as Jesus warned that the time right at the beginning of the Great Tribulation would be hard on those who are pregnant or nursing (Matthew 24:19).<\/p>\n Notice that Jesus said it would be a problem being pregnant when it is time to flee and that this fleeing happens after the time when the abomination of desolation is standing in the holy place (Matthew 24:15), which is also discussed in Daniel 11:31. But Daniel 11:31 does not happen until three and one half years after the deal in Daniel 9:27 is made. Here are fuller quotes from Daniel:<\/p>\n 26b And the people of the prince who is to come 27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; 31 And forces shall be mustered by him, 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)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The seven year (‘one week’) covenant has not been confirmed, hence the Great Tribulation cannot happen for at least 3 1\/2 years. The ‘him’ in Daniel 11:31 is the final King of the North (Daniel 11:40) and was called a ‘prince’ when he first confirms the seven year deal–which simply has not yet happened.<\/p>\n Presuming that the reports are right that Gerald Flurry made the announcement in the past to stop having children, his timing, in my view at least, is premature. Gerald Flurry claims to be a prophet, but he is not a true prophet of God. He needs to rely more on the Bible and less on his own imaginations.<\/p>\n Some articles of possibly related interest may include the following:<\/em><\/p>\n Teachings Unique to the Philadelphia Church of God<\/a> Simply calling oneself ‘Philadelphia’ does not make one so (see Revelation 3:7-9), nor does Gerald Flurry calling himself “that prophet” or a variety of other titles make it so. This article provides many quotes from this group which tries to look faithful.

\nThe ‘Peace Deal’ of Daniel 9:27<\/a> This prophecy could give up to 3 1\/2 years advance notice of the coming Great Tribulation. Will most ignore or misunderstand its fulfillment? Here is a link to a related sermon video Daniel 9:27 and the Start of the Great Tribulation<\/a>.

\nThere is a Place of Safety for the Philadelphians. Why it May Be Petra<\/a> This article discusses a biblical ‘place of safety’ and includes quotes from the Bible and Herbert W. Armstrong on this subject–thus, there is a biblically supported alternative to the rapture<\/a> theory. There is also a video on the subject: Might Petra be the Place of Safety?<\/a>
\nWhen Will the Great Tribulation Begin? 2015, 2016, or 2017?<\/a> Can the Great Tribulation begin today? What happens before the Great Tribulation in the “beginning of sorrows”? What happens in the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord? Is this the time of the Gentiles? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord? Who are the 144,000?
