Sabbath, July 14, Mr. Armstrong flew to TULSA, Oklahoma, to deliver the
Sabbath sermon. He cleared up a few points in regard to the January 3rd
assault of the State of California against the Worldwide Church of God.
He said it is time we in God's Church get straight in our minds WHO IS
LORD--CAESAR OR CHRIST?
The GOVERNMENT OF GOD once ruled this entire earth, he said. God had
set a super archangel on the throne over the entire earth. This was the
Cherub LUCIFER, one of two or three of the most powerful and mighty super
angels God could, or ever did create. Isaiah 14:12-14 was quoted, showing
Lucifer's throne was beneath the clouds, on the earth, and that he rebelled
and attempted to ascend and swoop down on God's throne in heaven, to take
over even as the state of California swooped down January 3rd on God's
present earthly headquarters to try to take over.
This super-angel Lucifer had been PERFECT in all his ways from the day
God created Him (Ezek. 28:14-15) until rebellion and iniquity were found in
him. He became Satan, the arch-enemy of GOD!
Lucifer's name was changed to Satan.
After this angelic rebellion, God created the first HUMA..�S--in God's
own likeness--form and shape. God now purposed to REPRODUCE HIMSELF through
humans, formed from the physical matter of the earth.
God instructed Adam and Eve before He allowed Satan to contact them.
Adam could have made the CHOICE to OBEY the GOVERNMENT OF GOD and replace
the dethroned Lucifer on the throne of the entire earth. But Satan, enemy
of the GOVERNMENT OF GOD, then got to Adam through his wife Eve, and Adam
turned to rebellion against GOD'S GOVERNMENT.
God, thereupon, drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, and barred
humanity from entrance or access to God or His Holy Spirit.
In effect, God said, "You have made the choice--for all humanity which
shall be born from you. You have rejected knowledge from me. You have
taken to yourself the KNOWLEDGE of good and evil. You have rejected my
government. You have rejected me as your GOD. Therefore GO, devise your
KNOWLEDGE, form your own religions, your own GOVERNMENTS--in all of which
SATAN will have access to sway and lead you into HIS WAYS! I sentence you
and your posterity--all humanity--to be CUT OFF from access to me for 6,000
years; all except the very FEW I shall specially call to prepare for MY oi.-rn
KINGDOM which shall be set up after 6,000 years."
