Where did Ron come up with this 70K prophecy? Ron basically cobbled two random verses in the bible together.
Like I said, according to Ron....
1) There are 70K survivors of the WWCoG (World Wide Church of God), before it splintered into multiple smaller groups
2) Out of these 70K members, 7K will die
3) The remaining 63K members will flock to PKG (and according to Ron this will have occurred in the 5 months before the November 9, 2015 date
mentioned in chart).
Now as far as I know, not a single person has flocked to PKG, not to mention 63K.
But where did he get this? Ronald Weinland cobbled together these two verses....
(Rev 11:13) And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven
thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
(Rev 9:5) And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the
torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
The "5 months" timing he got from Rev 9:5...which makes no sense at all, it's just random cherry picking of a bible verse from Ron.
Ron explains Rev 11:13 this way.....He looks at the part where it says 7K men were slain, then he sees the "tenth part" earlier in the verse, so he
reasons that the 7K are 10 percent out of the 70K that dies. So you have 70K members out of which 7K die, and the remainder, the 63K survivors, join
PKG.
Makes sense? I didn't think so.
But let's look at Rev 11:13, let's look at WHEN this happens, and WHAT happens.
1) Look at when this happens. The Two Witnesses are martyred, and then 3 1/2 days later resurrected.
The Two Witnesses preach for 1260 days(Rev 11:3), are killed, then raised from the dead.
NOTICE....I love how the bible proves itself....no need to do anything, just believe what it says....
Notice the WHEN...this earthquake occurs AFTER the Two Witnesses are raised from the dead.
Check out Rev 11:13 "And
THE SAME HOUR...was there a great earthquake..."
What hour? Well it's the hour right after the Two Witnesses are raised from the dead, mentioned in the previous two verses.
And notice something else, RIGHT AFTER THAT, the Seventh Trumpet is blown!
Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded
So this earthquake occurs AFTER The Two Witnesses finish their 1260 day testimony, and just SHORTLY BEFORE the 7th Trumpet is sounded! (the 7th
Trumpet is the last trumpet, the 1st resurrection occurs at this time).
But Ron decided (for no reason, there is no proof), that this happens before the 1260 days of the Two Witnesses even starts.
2) Now what actually happens during this earthquake? And where?
There where is easy, it's in the general area where Christ was crucified. Jerusalem. (Rev 11:8)
(Rev 11:13) And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven
thousand...
It says that seven thousand died from this earthquake. That part is true. But this 7K is NOT a tenth of 70K. The "tenth" is NOT referring people.
It is referring to THE CITY. Or more specifically 10% of the buildings out of the entire city that collapsed from the earthquake. That is what
buildings do in an earthquake, they fall.
"the tenth part of the city fell" is talking about 10% of the buildings which collapsed and fell, and this killed 7K of the people in the city.
"city" is from the greek word "polis", it's where we get metro-polis. It simply meants a town or a city.
