Habakkuk

The Worldwide Church of God leader said it was his “Christian duty” to keep Herbert W. Armstrong’s writings out of print. But the Philadelphia Church of God now owns the copyrights to 19 books and booklets written by Mr. Armstrong. That is the magnificent court victory we have won.
God’s Work has been revived—as prophesied!
God gave us the victory even though the appeals court ruled against us! It is the most miraculous event since the Philadelphia Church began. Habakkuk prophesied that it would be a double-wonder miracle.
God’s message to the world could not have been delivered had we lost. The court battle tested the faith of God’s people. Most of them have failed that test. Conversely, the miraculous victory revealed who believes God enough to fight for and deliver His end-time message!

Excerpt

This chapter was written for the Royal Vision magazine one year before our six-year court battle ended in 2003.

The Philadelphia Church of God (pcg) has been involved in a court battle with the Worldwide Church of God (wcg) for well over five years now. We have been restricted from printing Mystery of the Ages and any other material by Herbert W. Armstrong for over a year.

Habakkuk wrote his prophecy in the sixth century b.c., shortly before Babylon destroyed Judah. The temple was a mess. The priests were terribly divided, arguing about law and government. God sent the Prophet Habakkuk to straighten them out.

I want to prove to you that Habakkuk’s prophecy revolves around our court case. This is new revelation from God!

But I can only prove this to people who have faith. If you don’t read this message and apply these words in faith, I guarantee that you won’t understand. Habakkuk 1:5 says God will work something that people won’t believe even when it is spelled out for them. This is why we need to walk by faith—because otherwise we will never understand God’s plan.

Revelation is the major proof of where God’s very elect are! That is a truth you can prove from the Bible. But even more than that, it implies law and government. God doesn’t give His revelation to a committee—that would result in division and confusion. He gives it to one man, as He did to Mr. Armstrong, and He holds that man accountable. That implies law and government, implemented by that man, to keep people focused on God’s revelation.
