\nRonald Weinland Says His Books and His Interpretations of the Bible Are What He Wants Potential Supporters to Study. The COGwriter Site Instead Urges Those Interested in Him and End-Time Prophecies to Spend More Time Checking His Writings with the Bible.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ronald Weinland spoke in San Jose, California today. He once again discouraged people for traveling much for the 2008 Feast of Tabernacles<\/a> (see also Ronald Weinland Continues to Preach<\/a>). He did say a couple of appropriate comments about the Apostle John<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ronald Weinland then indicated that God is working through one person–meaning himself–he is delusional (see Ronald Weinland is Delusional)<\/a>. He continued to indicate that God directly is working through him.<\/p>\n

Although he still has significant internet reach, the latest information from Alexa (an independent internet rating service) shows that he has a greatly reduced reach. The following is what Alexa reported today:<\/p>\n

While Ronald Weinland is also reaching less according to Quantcast (another independent internet rating service), it only goes through the end of June. It shows that by the end of June he was reaching approximately 40% less people than he was in early May 2008.<\/p>\n

Since many of his “prophecies” have proven to be false, it is good that he is reaching less people. Hopefully, he will either quickly repent or stop preaching like he promised to do many times once certain dates (first April 17th, then June 8th and then July 16th) past if there was no massive destruction due to nuclear bombs in the “port cities” of the United States–something that still has not come to pass.<\/p>\n

Here is some of what he said in a radio interview of The Edge<\/em> on December 15, 2007:<\/p>\n

The proof is coming…<\/p>\n

If it doesn’t come to pass…starting in April, then I’m nothing but a false prophet<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

Beginning in April, its important that people believe it…<\/p>\n

What we’re talking about happening in this country and around the world is a horrendous thing, it really is…<\/p>\n

Things do start in 2008….It will be done by 2011…<\/p>\n

There’s already been six seals opened up…and the world is ignorant of it…The seventh seal they will know though…<\/p>\n

The destruction of the United States, we are the first to suffer…I wouldn’t want to be in Chicago, Los Angeles, or New York…<\/p>\n

By the fall of 2011, that’s when Jesus Christ returns…<\/p>\n

A little after April…a dollar bill won’t be worth anything…We’re going to be brought down the tubes, very quickly, starting in April…What happens when a nuclear weapon goes off in New York and Chicago?<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

If we come to the point in time where what I’ve said doesn’t come to pass, the reality is that I’m just a false prophet. That’s the bottom line.<\/strong>..<\/p>\n

The reality is if it doesn’t happen, then you’re just false…I’ll acknowledge my error, my wrong, if I’m wrong…<\/p>\n

The primary things…for the world…actually begin after April 2008…<\/p>\n

The abomination of desolation has already happened…<\/p>\n

By January 2009, we (the United States) will be down the tubes…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In that same interview, Ronald Weinland basically he also said that he would not follow Ellen White (SDA\/LCG Differences: Two Horned Beast of Revelation and 666<\/a> ) or others and recalculate an excuse or a different date, but that if it did not happen he when and how he said it, he would admit that he is a false prophet. <\/span> Yet, he still has never admitted that he is a false prophet–and he has recalculated his dates.<\/p>\n

The Bible teaches:<\/p>\n

21 And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?’– 22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him (Deuteronomy 18:21-22).<\/p>\n

Ronald Weinland has repeatedly spoken presumptuously. Since God’s prophet would not be so false, it is a good thing that Ronald Weinland’s internet reach is dropping.<\/p>\n
