The needle has been skipping in the same spot since 2001. Flurry has been an epic failure in his prophecies just like all of the other COG leaders currently are.
On May 5, 2001, God signaled the beginning of a new phase in this rapidly fading age of man. This new phase is described in vivid detail by the Apostle John in his epistles. You need to understand this deeply to know how imminent Jesus Christ’s return truly is!
1 John 2:18 in the Revised Standard Version reads, "Children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come; therefore we know that it is the last hour." Last hour is the correct translation of the Greek in that verse, rather than last time, as it reads in the King James Version.
God began to reveal this truth about the last hour to the Philadelphia Church of God on May 5, 2001. Approximately four months later came the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States. I believe God allowed us to receive this physical sign that we had entered the last hour. The worst terrorist attack ever on American soil powerfully reinforced our new revelation about the last hour.
In the last hour, antichrists appear on the scene—people who knew God the Father, then turned away and are now fighting Christ! The problem began with that antichrist—singular. But then there were "many antichrists"—numerous dissenting groups from our mother Church.
John wrote these epistles about A.D. 85–90. He was trying to wake people up and alert them to the war raging inside the Church. That is where the problems were. That is where Satan always attacks first. John sincerely believed he was in the last hour, and Christ let him think that for a short while. When the Church ought to have been really serving God and getting the message out, many of them were turning away and becoming, of all things, antichrist! We Are in ‘the Last Hour’
Well, we knew it all along, but it is nice to have Flurry confirm that Bob Thiel is an antichrist!
