A Crack in the Laodicean Wall “Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a STORMY WINDshall rend it” (Ezekiel 13:11). God is discussing a spiritual wall that will be rent by a “stormy wind.” The New Berkeley Version reads, “A violent hail shall crack it.”Strong’s Concordance defines rend, “to … break, rip or … tear.” Gesenius’ Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon defines it, “to break through to anyone.” The PCG warning message of truth is breaking through the Laodicean wall. Members are leaving and coming to the PCG. “Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it? Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a STORMY WIND in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it” (verses 12-13). God’s destruction of the wall is broken into three parts: 1) a strong wind in God’s fury, 2) an overflowing shower in God’s anger, and 3) great hailstones in God’s fury to consume it. Before this wall is destroyed by God, it is ripped, torn or cracked by a stormy wind.THIS HAS TO BE THE WORK OF GOD’S PHILADELPHIA CHURCH TODAY! God brings the PCG on the scene in His fury and rips the Laodicean wall. This stormy wind comes suddenly, then leaves just as suddenly to go to a place of safety. Then the Laodiceans will go into the Tribulation. God sends an “overflowing shower” in His anger. During God’s punishment on the nations of Israel, He will pour out His Spirit, typed by the showers. Many of the Laodiceans and the great multitude will repent by using God’s Spirit (read Revelation 7). Finally, God pours out great hailstones. This is the Day of the Lord. All of the rebels will die. More people will repent. Then Christ will return and begin the Millennium. “So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the FOUNDATION thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD” (Ezekiel 13:14). Then everybody will know God. Certainly this could not apply to today! This is prophecy for the future. The word untempered means false, silly or foolish. The Revised Standard Version uses “whitewash” for untempered mortar. Those false ministers are daubing the wall with FALSE DOCTRINES. If you examine the wall carefully, you see how false and foolish the doctrinal wall is. This is not just speaking of the Worldwide Church of God. The other Laodicean churches have also rebelled against major doctrines of God. Their walls of doctrine appear to be strong, but examine them closely and you see they are like mere Hollywood props! The work of the Philadelphia Church of God is going to be like a strong wind—a sudden, short-lived outburst. We expose this great leadership betrayal in God’s Church! Through the PCG, God reveals to those with an open mind what is really happening to all of the Laodicean members. The stormy wind is only the outer edge of a devastating hurricane of tribulation that is rapidly approaching, followed by the Day of the Lord! “Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter” (verse10). How do the Laodicean leaders seduce God’s people? By talking of peace instead of sounding a warning. Actually, we are entering into the worst time of suffering and bloodshed EVER on this planet! The WCG leaders say the Tribulation is far in the future (Amos 6:3; Matthew 24:48). Many Laodiceans assume that the world is going to have peace now. Nothing could be further from reality! The WCG leaders ask their people to pray for peace in the world. But the Bible prophesies of an explosion of bloodshed until Christ returns. They are preaching contrary to Bible prophecy! The PCG is a strong wind—just before the most massively destructive tribulation, orhurricane, ever to strike this Earth! God says the Laodicean rebellion is a wondrous sign that Christ is about to return (Zechariah 3). We are extremely close to the end. God will tear down the wall and reveal to all that it was built upon a FAULTY spiritual FOUNDATION. The PCG is only the beginning of a far greater storm. This world is about to see storm after storm after storm. Then Jesus Christ will return and give the Earth a thousand years of fabulous weather! The Laodiceans have frequently explained how they are building on the FOUNDATIONlaid by Mr. Armstrong. That is false, and GOD IS GOING TO EXPOSE THEM TO THE WHOLE WORLD! This principle applies to almost any time God’s Church turns away from God. The deceivers routinely say they are building on the foundation laid in the past, when they are actually DESTROYING THE FOUNDATION by building a new, but false, work. This is how they deceive God’s people. Throughout the Bible, GOD WARNS US OF THIS DANGER.“Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it” (Ezekiel 13:15). God’s wrath is inflicted on the wall. God is intensely emotional about what is being built in His name! He will CONSUME the wall in His wrath. Then the leaders will no longer seduce God’s people. ▪
