The Church of God (Restoration) is a Christian denomination that was founded in the 1980s by Daniel (Danny) Layne.<ref>[http://www.churchofgod.net/media/messages Zion's Voice<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100716102721/http://www.churchofgod.net/media/messages |date=2010-07-16 }}</ref> In a booklet written by Layne in the early 1980s, he claimed to be an ex-heroin addict who spent years dealing drugs and living a life of crime and sin on the streets of San Francisco. Layne was originally raised in the [[Church of God (Anderson)]], where his father was a minister. Layne began preaching in the [[Church of God (Guthrie, OK)]] after his conversion.

One tenet of this group is that they are ordained by both prophecy and divine command to restore the church of God as it was in the [[Acts of the Apostles|Book of Acts]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://webnet77.com/cgi-bin/bible/bible.cgi|title=Advanced Bible Search}}</ref> Most of Daniel Layne's beliefs concerning the [[book of Revelation]] originated from some ministers who had left the Church of God (Anderson) reformation movement thirty or so years earlier. This teaching is upheld by the official [[eschatology]], which is a form of church [[historicism]]. This Church of God (Restoration)<ref name=cog>{{cite web|url=http://www.churchofgod.net/|title=The Church of God : Official WebsiteHome - The Church of God : Official Website|work=The Church of God : Official Website}}</ref> teaches that the 7th Trumpet in the book of the Revelation began to sound around the year 1980 when Daniel Layne was saved, alleging that there was a general discontent among many of its current adherents that were in various Churches of God at that time. A variation of this "[[Seven seals|Seventh Seal]] message"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dswarnerlibrary.com/Worshipping%20Christ%20Original.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070422141907/http://www.dswarnerlibrary.com/Worshipping%20Christ%20Original.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=2007-04-22|title=Worshipping Christ}}</ref> had been taught in other Churches of God for approximately 50 years prior to this point.
