About Ronald Weinland

ABOUT RON WEINLAND 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything said here is strictly my own opinion, based on scripture and Ron's own words.

I would like to begin by providing a link to his website, so that anyone who wishes may go and see for themselves what he has to say.    http://www.ronaldweinland.com/

The following is a direct quote taken from the 7 Feb 08 page of his website.  QUOTE:  We are now feverishly trying to simply plan for the burst of activity that is coming our way over the next couple of months. We are there! As it was mentioned in this past Sabbath's sermon, the final countdown has begun, as the 1335 days before the actual day Jesus Christ returns began on February 2, 2008.  END QUOTE.

Now we are told to test the spirits 1 Joh 4:1 and the Church at Ephesus was commended for testing those who claimed to be apostles Rev 2:2.  Moses gives us the standard by which all who claim to be teachers from God should be tested in Deu 13 and the last few verses of Deu 18.  Notice what Moses says; first they must worship and obey God and teach others to do likewise; second, what they say must come to pass, it must be true and consistent with the Word of God.

Keep in mind that Ron Weinland is not just someone casually speculating about the possible interpretation of scripture.  He forcefully claims that he is a genuine prophet and not just any prophet, but one of the two to come at the end of the age.  He declares that he is speaking with the Authority of God.  If this is true, his words will be consistent with the Word of God.

Just what does the Word of God say about the 1,335 days?  And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up,there shall be 1,290 days.  Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the 1,335 days.  Dan 12:11-12.  (These days are explained in our SPRING FESTIVALS page, while the DAILY SACRIFICE is explained on the page by that title)

Ron says that the count began on 2 Feb.  I ask you, have you seen that great abomination, the son of perdition set up and doing miracles?  2 Thess 2:3-8  Have you seen anything that could be considered the appalling abomination set up anywhere?  Do you see a situation of Peace and Security yet?  1 Thess 5:3.
 
Moses tells us that, if any man who claims to be a prophet of God makes predictions which do not come to pass, he has spoken presumptuously.  We should not fear (RESPECT) such a person Deu 18:21-22.  This standard should be applied to ALL men who claim to teach the Word of God and especially to those who claim to be THAT PROPHET or one of the final TWO PROPHETS.  Consider carefully what they say and watch carefully what happens.

6 Mar 08.  Bob Thiel recently wrote on his blog, cogwriter, that 18 Mar will be the beginning of the 1,290 days, since 18 Mar is 45 days after 2 Feb when Ron Weinland said the 1,335 days began. Bob is calling Ron a false prophet since nothing has happened.  It appears that Bob Thiel has no more understanding of these things than Ron Weinland, for; The scripture clearly says that we are to count 1,290 days Dan 12:11-12 and then CONTINUE for another 45 days to the 1,335 days. For it is written; Blessed is he who WAITS and COMES TO THE 1335 days!  Bob and Ron both, have these things completely backwards, starting with 1,335 days, instead of ending with those 1,335 days!  A significant event will occur at the END of the 1290 days and BEFORE the remaining 45 days!  

11 April 08  Ron claims that the Great Tribulation will begin on April 18th.  Ron, where is the abomination?  Mat 24:15-21.  Ron says that there will be a slow gradual start to the 1260 day tribulation, possibly lasting through July before anything significant happens.  Where is the beast emperor of Rome, who has power to make war for forty-two months (1260 days)?  Rev 13:5-7.  If he is set up at some later date,  how can he be destroyed at the end of the 1,260 day tribulation by Christ  and still fulfill his 1,260 day mandate?  And how can he occupy and tread down the streets of Jerusalem for forty-two months (1,260 days)?  Rev 11:2.  Clearly the 1,260 day tribulation begins, when this ruler begins to occupy the city.  There will be no gradual start to the tribulation, it will have a very definate beginning and end!

18 April 08  RON WEINLAND names his wife as the second Witness.  He has declared that the Tribulation and their job as the Two Prophets began yesterday, but that events may take several months to begin.  We need not wait several months to know for sure.  Rev 1:3-6 reveals that some very specific powers are given to these two prophets for 1,260 days.  Does Ron and his wife possess these powers?  If not, they are not fulfilling the scripture regarding the two prophets and are therefore, NOT these two prophets.  That is the CLEAR, STRAIGHTFORWARD Word of God.

While some would prefer to imagine what the seven thunders might have said, even though John was commanded not to record their words, I invite all to come to our page on REVELATION and discover what the Bible does have to say about the latter days.

1 Aug 08 UPDATE

Ron Weinland has now stepped away  from his previous timeline and has declared that the Kingdom will come on Pentecost 2012.  Those who have been visiting this web site know that I have been talking about  this possibility since last year.  Over 9,000 visits have now been made to this R Weinland page.  RW's reasoning behind his change and his explanation of his present position are best described by himself.  Here is his personal web site.  If there is not enough information here, you should CONTACT him and ask him yourself. http://www.ronaldweinland.com/

17 Nov 08  UPDATE   The Kingdom of God WILL NOT start on Pentecost 2012, simply because the Final False Prophet, that Appalling Abomination has not been set up yet.  Remember, he must be empowered 1,335 days BEFORE the end and the establishment of the Kingdom of God! Dan 12:11-13.  Our Lord tells us that the Tribulation will begin when this Abomination goes to the Holy Place Mat 24:5-21.  The Tribulation WILL NOT start before then.

R Weinland's current timeline calls for the Tribulation to begin on 14 Dec.  You judge whether the Appalling Abomination is set up in the Holy Mount at Jerusalem on that day.  If it is not, then the tribulation HAS NOT BEGUN!

1 July 09  At this time R Weinland still teaches that the Tribulation began in Dec of 08 and that we are now six months into the great tribulation.  He says that the start will be gradual.  Jesus Christ had something very different to say.  He told us that the Tribulation will begin when the Appalling Abomination, that Great Final False Prophet; goes to the Holy Place  (the Temple Mount). When that happens said Christ, those that are in Judea should flee for their lives; without even stopping to get their coats,  Mat 24 15:21.  Why such an immediate need to flee?  Rev 13:5 speaks of a beast emperor who has the power to make war for 42 months (1,260 days).  Rev 11:2 says that the city of Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles for 42 months.  Daniel writes that the Tribulation shall last for; a time, times and the dividing of time (3 1/2 years or 42 months) Dan 12:7. Jesus said that Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the TIMES (the times, time and 1/2 time of Dan 12:7) of the Gentiles be fulfilled, Luk 21:24.  

When one takes ALL of the Scripture on this subject together, the answer is clear.  The Tribulation will begin with the occupation of Jerusalem by a Gentile power and it shall last for precisely 42 months.  The onset of the Tribulation will be VERY OBVIOUS to everyone. It will NOT be anything gradual at all.  It will be sudden 1 Thess 5:3; powerfull, destructive and overwhelming.

Ron does err greatly; not knowing the Scriptures.  For the Great Tribulation will not begin until the Final False Prophet visits the Holy Place.
