Ronald Weinland is the last apostle in a long lineage of apostles, beginning with the original 12 who were established in 31 AD. He is the last apostle to God's Church before Christ returns to establish God's Kingdom that will reign over every nation on earth. He was preceded by Herbert W. Armstrong who was the apostle to God's Church in the Worldwide Church of God until his death in January of 1986.
After Herbert W. Armstrong died, Joseph W. Tkach, Sr. received the control and leadership of the Worldwide Church of God, although he was not an apostle. In the early 1990s, as a matter of Church government, this man began to change many of the ways Mr. Armstrong had led the Church. He also began to make subtle changes in several Church teachings. Then, in December of 1994, he gave a sermon to the Church where he set out to change every major doctrine of God’s Church.
That infamous sermon was the cause of the prophesied end-time Apostasy that followed. Joseph W. Tkach, Sr. was later revealed to be the prophesied “man of sin” and “son of perdition” that Paul wrote about in 2 Thessalonians 2. Paul explained that this man who would betray Christ would have to be revealed within the Church before Christ would return.
God revealed that this man of sin was also the antichrist that John specifically made reference to later in his ministry when he spoke of many antichrists coming on the scene within the environment of the Church. This “man of sin” and “son of perdition” was made known by God after He revealed His judgment against him. Exactly 280 days later, to the same hour, from when he had declared that God’s Sabbaths were no longer required for God’s people, God took his life.
That number did not go unnoticed by those with whom God was working to reestablish a remnant for His Church after two-thirds of the people had left the Church, and the other third had become scattered into over 600 different organizations following that prophesied Apostasy. The number seven is used by God to reveal “that which is complete,” as in the seven-day week, the seven annual Holy Days, etcetera. The number 40 is used to reveal “God’s judgment.” The combination of 7 times 40 gives a total count of 280 days—fully revealing God’s complete judgment executed against this son of perdition, the man of sin, exactly 280 days after he sought to change God’s laws within His Church.
After the Apostasy, a third of the Church that had become scattered was protected from Satan for the next 1,260 days, as it was revealed in Revelation that God would do so. That period of protection for the scattered Church ended on Pentecost of 1998 when God had then reestablished His Church in only one of the many scattered groups. It was a small remnant group that took on the name of the “Church of God –Preparing for the Kingdom of God.”
Once God’s remnant Church had been reestablished, God not only made Ronald Weinland the last apostle to His Church at the end-time, but He also made him a prophet. God and Christ had made only one other apostle a prophet, and that was John who was given to record the Book of Revelation.
God gave Ronald Weinland to be John’s counterpart and also gave to him to be both an apostle and prophet, whose commission has included revealing what John had written. That which John recorded was not for him to understand and it was not for his time, but it was for this very end-time, and that necessitated sending a prophet who would reveal what God had given to John. Some of the very prophecies John wrote were about God’s two witnesses who would not come on the scene until the very end-time. God has made both Ronald Weinland and his wife to be His two end-time witnesses who are spoken of in Revelation 11 and in the Book of Zechariah.
Although most of those from the third of the Church that was scattered after the Apostasy are still looking for the opening of the First Seal, they do not understand that all Seven Seals of Revelation have already been opened, and that we have already entered the very end of the end-time. The Seven Trumpets of the Seventh Seal are all that remain to be physically fulfilled before Christ returns to rule this earth. Those Trumpets will begin to become manifest in great physical tribulation throughout this earth at various points between now and the time of Christ’s coming. Most of the world and the Church that was scattered will not awaken to the reality of these prophetic events until WWIII begins.
As a prophet and end-time apostle, Ronald Weinland has been given specific periods to watch for when this war will occur. The first period for the potential of an end-time economic collapse, government upheaval, and World War III was in the period of 2008 through 2013. His latest book explains how God mercifully granted seven additional years to mankind before those final events could occur. It also explains what God has altered in order to grant the potential for more to mercifully escape and survive these catastrophic end-time events. It is now that these end-time events can occur.
Herbert W. Armstrong, who was God’s previous apostle to this world, began to forewarn what would happen in the end-time. Directly after WWII, he explained how Europe, including Germany, would rise up in a union of nations that would have a common currency, common government, and a final military might that would consist of exactly 10 nations. Although people mocked these end-time prophesied events, 13 years after his death, Europe introduced the euro to the world in 1999. Now, 28 nations belong as member states, but it has only been within this last year (2018) that Europe has combined into a military agreement among 10 nations. The end-time is closing in quickly!
That which is written in Ronald Weinland’s last book, Prophesy Against the Nations, is the last warning that God is now giving to mankind. This next period for when WWIII can now occur is from early 2019 to early 2020. God’s message through His prophet is a simple one, “If you will listen, God will listen!”
As John was given the Book of Revelation to record while imprisoned by the Roman government on the Isle of Patmos, Ronald Weinland was given to write this third book while falsely imprisoned by the government of the United States for evading the payment of taxes. This third book fulfills a specific prophecy in the Book of Revelation. It also reveals God’s last warning to those of His Church who were scattered after the Apostasy. Although it also reveals God’s last warnings to all nations, it gives specific nations encouragement to accept His intervention to help and to even save millions.
