Zechariah Chapter Fourteen – Part II

December 8, 2011


Bible Believers’ Newsletter 713

“We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . .”
ISSN 1442-8660

What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear. What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer.

May our Lord Jesus bless and strengthen you in His Word as together we study Zechariah 14 through the eyes of Isaiah, and unfold its hidden secrets that demonstrate the inerrancy of prophecy from Genesis to Revelation as He reveals “the things that shall be hereafter” the Seven Church Ages—indeed all ages, and age itself. Understandings that lift us up to higher ground for rapturing revelation in the Capstone of the Pyramid formed by Christ’s end-time Bride, which is Love. Jesus is making us perfect in God’s own corrective love by faith in the fullness of His Word infusing us with us the Spirit of power and of a sound mind. Perfect faith is submission to a clear understanding of His revealed Word that annuls doubt, disallows torment caused by fear of things unknown, and will enable us to manifest that we are the Sons of God, passing through the barrier of our present three dimensions to eternity in the sixth dimension for the marriage supper of the Lamb.

This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

End of the Christians in the Middle East

November 29, 2011 — The victims of these supposedly “democratic” movements in Egypt, Libya, Syria, and previously Iraq are mainly Christians who absolutely do not share with enthusiasm the excitement of the Western establishment, America and the media. Prior to the overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s regime by force more than 1.5 million Christians lived in Iraq and Deputy Prime Minister Tarek Aziz was a Christian. 25,000 Christians remain in “democratic” Iraq—the rest have fled or been killed.

Egypt is slowly approaching the same scenario—the army still holds, but after the introduction of “democracy” under the Muslim Brotherhood [MI6] there will be no trace of the Coptic Christians. Already they are attacked with impunity, despite the fact they account for 10 percent of the population.

The Christians in Syria are behind the wall of Bashar al-Assad . . . The question is—who is interested in the eradication of secular nationalist dictatorships? Who wants to lead the Islamists to victory under the guise of “democratization”? It may seem surprising, but it is the United States who gave the first signal by removing Nasserism from the Middle East, and attacking Iraq, the leading state ruled by secular nationalists. . . and earlier supported the Bosnian and Albanian Muslims in Europe against the Christian Serbs. There is no ambiguity in this game, America knew what it was doing and bred their own beasts the Taliban [CIA]. . .

But back to Nasserism. What is the Nasserism? This direction is named after its creator, Nasser (1918-1970), leader of Egypt. Encyclopedic record says, “Nasserism was a revolutionary nationalist and pan-Arab ideology combined in a vaguely defined socialism, often distinguishing it from the East and socialist thought, calling it “Arab socialism.” Nasserism was a secular ideology that led to conflict with the emerging movements of Islamic radicalism, spoke in favor of modernization, industrialization and the abolition of traditional social divisions”.

The destruction on Nasserism opened the way to Islamism. Al Qaeda [CIA] is one of the driving forces behind these revolutionary changes. Wherever brought to power by election, as in Palestine, Islamists can be controlled from countries where there are nurseries of Islamism, such as [Jewish] Saudi Arabia. The West will not have any impact on the course of events, nod or move a finger to defend attacked Christians. Hypocritically bombarded Libya “in defense of the civilian population,” but we know that it was only to kill Gaddafi, one of the last Nasserists. When he was killed, NATO immediately acknowledged “the mission met its objectives”. . . the victory of “democracy” in the Middle East means the annihilation of Christians living there. But if the West is demoralized and does not send their planes to defend Christians from extermination, and former Latin America did not lift a finger, Russia will soon recognize the impending fate of the Orthodox Church in the Holy Land.

Comment: The City of London is a sovereign nation that rules the UK, US, Australia and other colonies of her Empire. In partnership with Vatican City State she is bringing political Zion (a Rothschild creation) into controlled conflict against political Islam (a Vatican creation) in the Hegelian dialectic of World War III. Having achieved their unknown objective of establishing the sovereign state of modern Israel for the capitol of one world government these factions now represent a liability and must neutered or destroyed.

Simultaneously, blood Israelites, the mutual enemy of the Judaeo-Roman church and self-styled Jews (Genesis 27:39-41) are being annihilated, as are other mutual enemies, Christian sects who owe allegiance to rival popes: the Patriarch of the Assyrian Church, the Patriarch of Constantinople (Turkey), the Pope of Alexandria (Egypt) and Patriarch of All of Africa, the Patriarch of Antioch (Syria), the Patriarch of Greece, the Patriarch of Jerusalem (Israel, Palestine, Jordan and All Arabia), the Patriarch of All Bulgaria, the Patriarch of All Georgia, the Serbian Patriarch, the Patriarch of Kiev and Ukraine, the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, the Patriarch of All Romania, the Supreme Patriarch of the Armenian Apostolic Church and the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

NATO Members, Israel and the colonies of ‘the City’ are responsible for genocide, rape, pillage, looting—”whatever it takes” to bring the world under submission to what will be Lucifer’s totalitarian one world government. Anyone with an ounce of the Holy Spirit can see the United States is forcing the realization of Ezekiel 38 and 39, and her own annihilation.

Please read the third comment on this Article and the .pdf file, (both are in English). We have mentioned this situation in previous Newsletters, and brethren familiar with the prophecy concerning Rome’s refinancing of the US dollar with gold backing will understand the behind the scenes activity described in this file, and how ‘the City’ has deployed her colonial troops to execute the Jews’ Yinon Plan.


World War III: The Launching of a Preemptive Nuclear War against Iran

December 4, 2011 — The launching of an outright war using nuclear warheads against Iran has been on the active drawing board of the Pentagon since 2005. If such a war were to be launched, the entire Middle East Central Asia region would flare up. Humanity would be precipitated into a World War III Scenario.

World War III is not front-page news; mainstream media has excluded in-depth analysis and debate on the implications of these war plans. The onslaught of World War III, were it to be carried out, would be casually described as a “no-fly zone,” an operation under NATO’s “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) with minimal “collateral damage” or a “limited” punitive bombing against specific military targets, all of which purport to support “Global Security” as well as “democracy” and human rights in the targeted country.

Public opinion is largely unaware of the grave implications of these war plans, which contemplate the use of nuclear weapons, ironically in retaliation to Iran’s nonexistent nuclear weapons program. Moreover, 21st Century military technology is at an advanced stage of development combining an array of sophisticated weapons systems. We are at the crossroads of the most serious crisis in World history. . . According to a 2003 Senate decision, the new generation of tactical nuclear weapons or “low yield” “mini-nukes”, with an explosive capacity of up to 6 times a Hiroshima bomb, are now considered “safe for civilians” because the explosion is underground. . .

US Hypersonic Weapon can hit any Target on Earth in 30 Minutes

US hypersonic weapon

November 19, 2011 — The Advanced Hypersonic Weapon (AHW), which travels five times the speed of sound, was successfully tested yesterday. It was launched by rocket from Hawaii at 11.30am, glided south westwards through the upper atmosphere over the Pacific at ‘hypersonic speed’ before hitting its target on the Kwajalein atoll in the Marshall Islands—some 2,500 miles away. It comes hot on the heels of the US Air Force announcement that it has taken delivery of eight, 15-ton bunker buster bombs, called the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, that can blow apart 200ft of concrete. And if it is rolled out by the US military, it will mean America will no longer have to rely on stationing missiles in foreign countries. . . Full story: eutimes.net

Is Defense Authorization Act Treasonous?

December 6, 2011 — The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 S.1867 passed on December 1, in effect, revokes an 1878 law known as the Posse Comitatus Act, which banned the US Army from domestic law enforcement after the military had been used—and often abused—in that role during Reconstruction. The Southern states have been under martial law since the Civil War, now the whole nation is a police state subject to martial law whenever Uncle Sam’s alien rulers give the nod.

Preventive and arbitrary detention has been expanded beyond Guantánamo Bay and the CIA’s shuttered black sites into the domestic United States, spread worldwide. The alien-controlled puppet president of the USA is now empowered to order military to arrest and imprison anyone, anywhere on Earth, including America, if they are a suspected ‘terrorist,’ and to hold them indefinitely without charge or trial. A terrorist is someone who opposes Zionist objectives in thought, word or deed. Full story: cancertruth.net darkmoon.me



Armageddon Super Virus Recipe: keep Secret or Publish?

December 6. 2011 — To publish or not to publish? That is the question gripping scientists after virologists said they had developed a bird flu virus—with a 60 per cent human mortality rate—that could spread as easily as the common cold. Some fear the virus, if it fell into the wrong hands, could be modified by bioterrorists into a weapon that kills billions of people. . .

Prepare for Riots in Euro Collapse

November 29, 2011 — Foreign Office warns British embassies in the eurozone have been told to draw up plans to help British expats through the collapse of the single currency, amid new fears for Italy and Spain. . . and even riots arising from the debt crisis. . . Diplomats have also been told to prepare to help tens of thousands of British citizens in eurozone countries with the consequences of a financial collapse that would leave them unable to access bank accounts or even withdraw cash. . .

The EU treaties that created the euro and set its membership rules contain no provision for members to leave, meaning any break-up would be disorderly and potentially chaotic. If eurozone governments defaulted on their debts, the European banks that hold many of their bonds would risk collapse. . . such an event would risk the collapse of the entire financial system, leaving banks unable to return money to retail depositors and destroying companies dependent on bank credit. . .

Senate bans Same Sex Marriage

November 30, 2011 — [In Nigeria] a 14-year jail term now awaits those who support or are directly involved in same sex marriage. . . Clause 5 (1) of the report which was adopted says: “Persons who entered into a same sex marriage contract or civil union commit an offence and are each liable on conviction to a term of 14 years imprisonment.” Clause 5 (2) adds: “Any person who registers, operates or participates in gay clubs, societies and organisations, or directly or indirectly makes a public show of same sex amorous relationship in Nigeria commits an offence and shall each be liable on conviction to a term of 10 years imprisonment”. . . Clause 5 (3) adds: “Any person or group of persons that witnesses, abets and aids the solemnisation of a same sex marriage or civil union, or supports the registration, operation and sustenance of gay clubs, societies, organisations, processions or meetings in Nigeria commits and shall be liable on conviction to a term of 10 years imprisonment”.

Clause 1 of the bill passed by the Senate says: “Marriage contract or civil union entered into between persons of the same sex is hereby prohibited in Nigeria” while 1 (2) states: “A marriage contract or civil union entered into between persons of the same sex is invalid and shall not be recognised as entitled to the benefits of a valid marriage.” The chamber went further to say that even if such marriage was contracted outside the country, it would not be recognised in Nigeria . . .

“In every country that has granted a new ‘right’ to homosexual behaviour, activists have promoted and steadily expanded this ‘right’ to trump universally recognised rights to religious freedom and expression.” No wonder Brother Branham said, “The white man’s a rascal” (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 438). Jesus prophesied that homosexuality and multiculturalism are the besetting sins of this last day (Luke 17:28-30; Matthew 24:37).


Child Sex Arrests Spike. Or do They?

November 18, 2011 — Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes claims to have arrested an unprecedented 89 men on child sex-abuse charges in the ultra-Orthodox communities in Brooklyn over the past two years—but declines to provide any details backing up the numbers or to give the status of any of the cases.

Sexual abuse survivors and their advocates have long harried Hynes for allegedly overlooking molesters in the borough’s tight-knit, ultra-Orthodox communities. They charge that Hynes fears political retaliation from the borough’s powerful rabbinic leaders and their bloc-voting Orthodox voters. . . Full story: forward.com

Four meters high by 6 meters square, it was set up by members of the “Temple Institute” under the direction of Rabbi Yehuda Glick. Its creation was timed to the day on which, according to Jewish tradition, the destruction of the first and second Temples were destroyed. . .

Zechariah Chapter Fourteen – Part II

“The appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord” to Israel’s high priest above and between the cherubim in the holy of holies on the day of Atonement left before God’s servant Nebuchadnezzar razed His Temple, ending the monarchy and inaugurating “the times of the Gentiles” (Ezekiel 1:28; 10:22). It has since taken residence in the Temple of Jesus Messiah and His mystic Body, the Church (Matthew 3:16-17; Acts 2:3; Zechariah 6:12). Israel will see it no more until they “anoint the most holy place,” their glorified King and His Queen, crowning Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords by the joy of their revelation at the recognition of His Presence or parousia Coming to destroy the foe and restore the Kingdom to Israel in the millennium (Revelation 19:1-16; Acts 1:6), shouting, “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord”  (Matthew 23:39). By worshipping the pagan trinity the nation had shunned the Glory and Presence of the Lord who would never again enter a holy of holies “made with hands” (Ezekiel 8; 10). In a material sense this Divine judgment will last to the consummation (Daniel 9:27), Spiritually it will end when the nation of 144,000 elect Israelites is born in one day: “At that time Michael will commence His reign . . . and every Israelite written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be delivered”  (Daniel 12:1; Zechariah 14:3, 9; Luke 21:24).

When Jesus Messiah was baptized by John in the Jordan the Shekinah took residence in His temple in which we are pillars. He was not received by the priestly authorities of the second Temple whom he rebuked: “It is written: My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.” To the Scribes and Pharisees he declared, hereafter “this den of thieves” is “the Jews’ house”: Your house is left to you forsaken and desolate. For I assure you, You will not see Me henceforth, till you say, Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord. And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple” (Matthew 21:13; 23:38 – 24:1).

Following His crucifixion the Lord ceased dealing with Israel as a nation, and turned to call “whomsoever [of Adam's race] will [receive Him] a people for His Name,” a Bride, and sent His servant Titus to raze the second temple and destroy the city of Jerusalem. For two thousand years, the Israel nation has been homeless; her name and land stolen by wandering self-styled Jews of Cain’s race. “But once the last elect Gentile has entered the place of God’s rest, the Lord will stretch out His hand a second time to recover the remnant of His people, from Assyria, from Lower and Upper Egypt, and from Iran, and from Iraq, and from Syria, and from the Islands of the Mediterranean [NOT from Russia, Hungary, Germany, London, Paris or New York. Thus the present inhabitants of modern Israel are NOT "the remnant of His people," born of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, but imperSINators who style themselves Israelis]” (Isaiah 11:10-11). When Messiah returns to Israel He will find non-Semitic Jews and apostate Israelites, having forsaken Moses and the Prophets for the hubris of the Babylonian Talmud, resolved to build another Jews’ house “made with hands”.

Isaiah called Judea a second Sodom and Gomorrah after the nature of two Serpent’s seed cities destroyed by God. Judah was desolated by God then overrun by the Serpent’s seed, and Jerusalem will be ruled by a non-Semitic people unto the consummation and be as Sodom and Egypt spiritually speaking (Daniel 9:27, Luke 21:24 and Revelation 11:1-2, 8).

Jesus prophesied the whole world would be in a Sodom condition in the days of His ‘parousia’ Coming, yet there will be a remnant (Luke 17:28-30). Brother Branham said the denominational churches are in Sodom and that His Message is to call out the wise and foolish virgin as the Message of Israel’s prophets will call out the remnant 144,000 (Romans 9:27-33).

As it was in the time of the earthquake in reign of Uzziah king of Judah, when the Lord comes to Israel He will find “a sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, descendants of evildoers, children who deal corruptly: having forsaken the Lord they have despised the Holy One of Israel, and are utterly estranged. . . Your country is devastated; your cities have been burned with fire: in your very presence Serpent’s seed [(Heb.) Zuwr] devour your cultivated land, it is a devastation overthrown by Serpent’s seed. The daughter of Zion [Christ's Bride] is left behind like a watchman’s shanty in a vineyard when the harvest time is over, like a shack in a cucumber patch, or a city preserved from the desolation that surrounds it. Had the Lord of hosts not stepped in to save a very small remnant, natural and Spiritual Israel would have been wiped out like Sodom and Gomorrah. Hear the Word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom [Jerusalem]; listen to the teaching of our God you nation of Gomorrah [Israel]” (Isaiah 1:4, 7-10; Amos 1:1; Zechariah 14:5).

The same prophet rebukes Israel at the commencement of Daniel’s Seventieth Week after the translation of Christ’s Bride, for their external religion of works and emotive ritual without faith. Isaiah 66:1-4: “Thus says the Lord: The heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool: what manner of house would you build for Me, and where would be the place of My rest? For My hand has made everything, and all these things are Mine, says the Lord. But I will look favourably upon the man who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at My Word.” The heavens could not contain Him yet God’s fullness dwelt bodily in Jesus Messiah. And He will dwell in your heart by the baptism with the Holy Ghost, which is the new birth, and every act of external, ceremonial worship will be an offence. The Israelites found it difficult to escape the concept of a local god like the heathen divinities that could be circumscribed by space. Stephen (Acts 7:48-49) and Paul (Acts 17:24-34) appealed to our Scripture in their protests against this vain imagination.

Since the sacrifice of our kinsman Redeemer is all-sufficient (Hebrews 10:12-13): “He who slaughters an ox is like one who offers a human sacrifice; he who sacrifices a lamb, is as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he who offers an unbloody offering [for instance, grain], is as if he offered swine’s blood; he who burns incense, as if he blessed an idol.” The ritual of synagogue and church are comparable to forbidden offerings; any effort by Israel to revive animal sacrifices and oblations which had been appointed by the Law is here declared on a par with the cruel and abominable practices of the heathen, who offered human sacrifices the Hebrews were taught to hold in abomination.

“As they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations, [in retribution] I also will choose their delusions (II Thessalonians 2:11), and what they dread I will bring upon them; because when I called, no one answered; and when I spoke, they did not listen: but they did what was evil in My eyes, and chose what was displeasing to Me.”

In verses 5 we see the division between the elect Israelites and the reprobate Jews who scoff at them. “Hear the Word of the Lord, you who tremble at His Word; Your [unbelieving] brethren who hated you, and cast you out for My Name’s sake, said [mockingly], “Let the Lord show Himself glorious [by manifesting Himself in your behalf]: that we may see your joy” As in Isaiah 5:19; Isaiah 28:15; 57:4; Matthew 27:42-43. But it is the scoffers and apostate nations that will be put to shame as we see in verse 6: “What is this uproar from the city! A voice from the [third] temple! It is the voice of the Lord taking vengeance upon His enemies [the scoffers within the city].” And the baptism with the Holy Spirit to His elect (Ezekiel 43:1-12; Zechariah 12:2-4 14:2-3, 19-21; Revelation 11:13).

Verse 7, Before Zion/Israel travailed, [under the tribulation of the Seven Trumpet judgments, begun with the siege of Jerusalem by Titus in Matthew 24:21] she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a Man child, [Jesus Messiah, "the Light of the Gentiles"].

Alfa Romeo logoRevelation 12:1-5, “And there appeared a great symbol in heaven; a woman clothed with the Sun, and the Moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars: [This woman is Zion/Spiritual Israel with the Law under her feet, and having crossed into the S_O_N-Light she is crowned with the doctrine of the twelve original apostles]. And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another symbol in heaven; and behold a great red dragon [Satan], having seven heads [or deified emperors] and ten horns [the divisions into which Rome subsequently divided], and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail [Talmudic deception (Isaiah 9:15)] drew the third part of the stars of heaven [natural Israel, Shem's deceived seed], and cast them to the Earth [at the crucifixion, causing their names to be blotted from the Book of Life (Psalm 69:28)]: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to bear, that he might devour her child as soon as it was born. [Roman Procurator, Judah's Edomite king Herod sought to assassinate the rival to his royal house (Matthew 2)]. And she brought forth a Man child [Jesus Messiah], who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and to His throne [at Jesus' ascension]” (Acts 1:9).

That was the first Coming of the “Man child” before the tribulation which is the era from the opening of the First Seal in Revelation 6:1 to Revelation 19:21, the consummation when the enemies of God and man are slain thus binding Satan until the general resurrection.

Verse 8 speaks of His second Coming: “Who ever heard of such a thing? Who ever saw its like? Shall a land be brought forth in one day? Shall a nation be born in one moment? For as soon as Zion/Spiritual Israel travailed [in the great tribulation], she gave new birth to her children [144,000 elect Israelites—at the revelation of Christ's parousia]“.

Zechariah 3:8-10, “Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you: these are a symbol [Isaiah 8:18]: for, behold, I will bring forth My Servant the BRANCH [speaking of Christ's second or parousia Coming to Israel]. For behold the Stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one Stone will be seven eyes: [so when Israel catches the revelation of Messiah, they will recognize His Gentile Wife (Zechariah 6:12)]: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, [or loose the Seven Seals and reveal their mystery], says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day [Daniel 9:24c]. In that day, says the Lord of hosts, you shall call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree,” for you will enter the millennium.

Brother Branham places this Scripture just after the midst of Daniel’s Seventieth Week, for he says, “Then will He return, leaving His Bride in “His Father’s house,” while he makes Himself known to His brethren. At this very time, the antichrist covenant the Jews have made with Rome will be broken. Rome and her allies then send their troops to destroy all the God-fearing, Word-abiding Jews. But as they come against the city to destroy it, there will appear in the heavens the sign of the Coming of the Son of Man with His mighty armies [Matthew 24:3b, 30; Revelation 1:18; 19:1-16; Isaiah 11:1-4; Jeremiah 33:14-17] to destroy them who have been destroying the earth [Revelation 11:18-19]. With the enemy repulsed [Revelation 11:13; 12:16-17], Jesus then comes and presents Himself to the 144,000. Having seen His mighty acts of salvation, they have come to know His power. But also seeing His wounds and knowing that they had rejected Him even to that moment, causes them to cry out in the agony of terror and fear, even as did their brethren of old when they stood before Joseph, being sore afraid that they would be killed. But as Joseph said, “Don’t be angry with yourselves. It is all right. God was in it all. He did it to preserve life” [Zechariah 13]. Even so will Jesus speak peace and love to them” (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 40:2).

The Bible was sealed from the foundation of the world until after the Church Ages (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:4; 4:1 – 6:1) when Christ claimed the Book of Redemption, opened the Seals and revealed their mystery to His angel William Branham, who signified it to His servant John (Revelation 1:1). During two years imprisonment on the Island of Patmos John was caught up in the Spirit and in a series of visions saw and heard Brother Branham expound the Seven Seals in 1963 as Christ revealed them to him. John wrote the Book of Revelation wherein he recorded those things in Old Testament symbols. As Brother Branham was the angel to the Seventh Church Age (Revelation 10:7), and all Seven Church Ages were over, this revelation is given exclusively to Christ’s end-time Bride. As a consequence no matter how thoroughly you testify these things, only Christ’s end-time Bride will receive the faith. And since you are Christ’s end-time Bride, wherever John refers to himself you should place your name.

Revelation 19:1-16, “After these things [Israel's tribulation under her Seven Trumpet judgments, Satan's casting down to Earth, the Three Woes of World Wars I, II, and III, the Seven Vials poured out upon the non-elect church, and the calling-out of the 144,000 elect Israelites who will fulfill the sixfold purpose of Gabriel's visit to Daniel under this revelation (Daniel 9:24c)] I . . . (your name here) . . . heard the voice of a great throng in heaven, crying, Hallelujah!

This Hebrew exclamation, “Praise Yah,” uttered by God’s servants, the Old Testament saints (Revelation 18:24), is found first in Psalms on the destruction of the ungodly. Isaiah 40:1-5: “Comfort, comfort My people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and tell her that her warfare is ended, her iniquity is pardoned: that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for her sins. [The twofold captivity by Assyria and Rome that come to their close after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week, and only then will "her iniquity be pardoned" (Daniel 9:24), "her warfare be ended," and her foe destroyed (Daniel 9:27)]. A voice cries: Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, every mountain and hill be made low: the crooked turns straightened, and the rough made a plain. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together (Zechariah 14:3-5; Matthew 24:30): for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.” [Under inspiration Matthew varied the connection to bring out another sense (Matthew 3:1), but Isaiah was referring to the coming restoration of Israel and the millennium. The clause, "in the wilderness" alludes to Israel's passage from Egypt to Canaan led by the Angel of the Lord (Psalms 68:7), and the Angel of the Lord shall lead the restoration of Israel].

“And . . . (your name here) . . . saw New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a Bride adorned for her husband, and I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God” (Revelation 21:2-3). The glory of God is His Family, principally Jesus Christ and His Bride, for through the invisible marriage union the two are One. This will be the completion of Brother Branham’s ‘tent vision’ (Genesis 9:27). This vision is a preview of our return for the millennium when the The glory of the Lord shall be revealed,” the 144,000 will “anoint the most holy place” (Daniel 9:24), and all [glorified] flesh shall see it together(Isaiah 40:5).

“The salvation, and the glory, and the power of our God: for true and just are His judgments: for He judged the great [Judaeo-Roman Catholic] harlot, that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and He avenged the blood of His servants at her hand. And a second time they said, Hallelujah. And her smoke ascends into the ages of the ages. And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God who sits on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah.” The last of the seven major continuous visions God showed Brother Branham in 1933 has come to pass: God’s servant, Judaeo-Communist Russia, has avenged “the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the Earth” by blasting Vatican City State and her United States image from the face of the Earth (Revelation 17:16; 18:8-20; 19:3; ibid. p. 322:3).

“And a voice [that of the seventh angel, William Branham] came forth from the throne saying, Give praise to our God, all His servants, and those that fear Him, the small and the great. And I heard as the voice of a great throng and as a voice of many waters [Christ's wife of all Seven Church Ages returning with Her Husband], and as a voice of strong thunders [all seven], saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord God Almighty has assumed the Kingdom. [The way for His advent to reign and restore the Kingdom to Israel for a thousand years of peace is cleared by the overthrow of Rome and carnal Christendom]. Let us be glad and exult, we will give the glory to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb has come to pass, and His wife made herself ready. And to her was given that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints.”

“And he said to . . . (your name) . . . Write, Blessed are they who are called unto the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he said: These are the true Words of God. And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he said to me, Take heed, do it not: I am your fellow servant and of your brethren who have the witness of Jesus: worship God: for the witness of Jesus is the Spirit of the prophecy [in each of the saints].”

“And I saw the heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He who sat upon him is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wars. His eyes were a flame of fire, and on His head many crowns [as King of kings His crown comprises the diadems of all the kingdoms of Earth], and He has a Name written, that no man knew, but Himself, and He is clothed in a vesture dipped in [the] blood [of His enemies (Isaiah 63:1-6)]: and His Name is called The Word of God [who made the world (Isaiah 54:5; John 1:1-14; Colossians 1:16-19)]. And the armies in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure. And out of His mouth goes forth a sharp sword (Isaiah 11:4; II Thessalonians 2:8), that with it He should smite the nations: [whereas He would have shepherded them with a pastoral rod and the golden scepter of His love] now He and no other shall shepherd them [in a punitive sense and dash them in pieces, as refractory rebels] with an iron rod, and He treads the winepress of the wine of the anger of the wrath [and omnipotent resources] of Almighty God. And He has on His vesture and on His thigh a Name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS”.

This will be the birth of Israel in one day as soon as she travails,” following the martyrdom, resurrection and ascension of their two prophets. See Newsletter 697.

Isaiah 54 compares Zion/Israel after her conversion to a wife put away for unfaithfulness but now forgiven and taken home again (Isaiah 62:1-5). The converted Gentiles are represented as a new progeny of the long-forsaken but now restored wife. Natural Israel could not bear during the Gentile dispensation since the New Testament did away with the old theocracy and her former connection with her divine Husband. Trodden down in bondage under the Law she was barren and could not bear Spiritual children. Unbeknownst to the deceived woman, “Your Maker is your Husband; the Lord of hosts is His Name; and He shall be called your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth [JESUS, Jehovah-Saviour, for He will save His people from their sins" (Isaiah 54:5; Matthew 1:21)].

Isaiah 54:1 is Galatians 4:27: After the midst of Daniel’s Seventieth Week natural Zion/Israel will be told: “Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who have not been in travail with child: for more are the children of the [once] desolate [Gentiles, who before the New Testament were without the promise, and destitute of God as their Husband], than the children of [natural Israel] the married wife [numerous as were the children under the legal covenant, those of the Gospel and grace are vastly more numerous], says the Lord” (Isaiah 49; nl412; nl413).

Paraphrasing Isaiah 66:9 the Lord asks a rhetorical question expressing the same thought in two different ways meaning: “Shall I who have begun, not finish My work of restoring Zion/Israel”? Since the restoration of Israel was His long-laid plan He will certainly neither delay nor abort the national rebirth and the glorious restoration of the Kingdom to Israel.

Verses 10-13: Her friends who had before mourned over her are now justly called upon to rejoice with and participate in her happiness: “delight in Jerusalem; as an infant, drink deep from the breasts of her consolations the abundance of her glory.” The joy to which the prophet summons her friends is well-founded since the Lord Himself says “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream.”

Verse 12: “The glory [or riches] of the Gentiles,” as Paul explains in Romans 11:11-12, 32, is new birth in Jesus Messiah, and “Christ in you is the hope of glory”—tabernacling God in New Jerusalem. Through Israel’s apostasy God rejected the covenant nation—but not individual Israelites—until Daniel’s Seventieth Week, and brought the riches of eternal Life to us Gentiles to provoke elect Israelites to jealousy and new birth. Gentile apostasy will soon cause the glory and riches of new birth in Jesus Messiah to pass to the covenant nation, all 144,000 (Isaiah 61:6-7).

“As a man whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you [with a mother's love, strong enough to raise up a strong man bowed down by misfortune. Israel is portrayed as a man returned from a foreign country, escaped from bondage, full of sad recollections, which are wholly obliterated in the maternal arms of divine love] in Jerusalem” the one place God will meet with the people of the Old Covenant (Deuteronomy 16:2, 5-6).

Joel 2:32: “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever [i.e. Israel's elect] calls on the Name of the Lord will be delivered: [like the Christians who in response to our Lord's warning retired to Pella just before Jerusalem's destruction (Matthew 24:16). The Saviour first appeared "in Zion and Jerusalem"; and there again will He appear as the Deliverer (Zechariah 14:1-5). Paul applied this sentence to Jesus in Romans 10:13 because Jesus of the New Testament is Jehovah of the Old: Jesus means 'Jehovah-Saviour,' so if the elect Israelites, and at this time God is dealing only with 144,000 elect Israelites, call on God in His divine attributes as Messiah, Saviour and Kinsman Redeemer, they will be delivered (Isaiah 44:6; 45:21-22; 48:17; Matthew 1:21)] for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be escape, as the Lord has said, and those who are saved will be the remnant whom the Lord has called”.

Verse 14: “When you see this [demonstration of the power of God on His friends and on His foes in the time of Israel's latter rain], your heart will rejoice; your bones will feel themselves excited to fresh, vigorous manifestation of life, and flourish like green grass. And all the world will recognize the hand of God’s favour is with His [144,000] servants, and His indignation is against His enemies” (Zechariah 12; 13; 14). The salvation of God’s people is coincident and simultaneous with the destruction of His enemies.

Verses 15-18 describe God’s judgment upon the wicked. “For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by His sword will the Lord plead with all flesh and the slain of the Lord shall be many (Ezekiel 38:21-23: Joel 3:2; Zechariah 14:3-5). Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens behind one tree in the midst, who eat swine’s flesh, vermin, and mice, shall come to an end together, says the Lord.”

Having regard to the hour in which this prophecy is set I believe verse 17 describes Jewish and Israelite devotees in Israel “following one tree in the midst”—Satan, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil—cast down to Earth and incarnate in Rome’s pope (Genesis 2:9; Isaiah 65:3-4; II Thessalonians 2:9-12; Revelation 17:11). These are impersonating the Old Testament animal sacrifices, or imitating Judaeo-Roman rites and dogma the beast will force when he breaks his covenant with the Jewish banksters (Daniel 9:27; 7:23-25; Revelation 13:4-8; 15-18). “I know the works and thoughts of these [apostates]: I will gather all nations and tongues against Jerusalem, and they shall come and see My glory.

Verse 19: “I will set a sign/symbol [in Israel, as a rallying point to attract the dispersed (Isaiah 11:12; 62:10-12)]. (Heb.) ‘nec’ means standard, ensign, signal, or something that is lifted up as a rallying point (Strong’s #5251). The REVELATION of the sign or symbol will be the glory of God. Matthew 24:30, “then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” The physical (Gk.) ‘erchomai’ manifestation men see will be “the sign of thy (Gk.) ‘parousia’ Coming” enquired of by the disciples in Matthew 24:3. It is this SIGN, Shekinah, or Pillar of Cloud over the Mount of Olives that will be seen, NOT the glorified Jesus. Brother Branham called this “the REVELATION story” after the midst of Daniel’s Seventieth Week when elect Israelites see or come to UNDERSTAND that Jesus whom their forefathers murdered is their Messiah, repent and receive Him as Lord (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 36 – 41; Zechariah 12:9-14). Worldwide the righteous non-elect souls will recognize Scripture has been fulfilled, realizing their stand for Him will mean martyrdom. Only those who return to Earth with the glorified Jesus and “tread down the [atomic] ashes of the wicked” after the consummation of Life will see His physical return with their own eyes (Malachi 4:1-33; II Thessalonians 1:6-10). The non-elect will be dead, all evidence of human existence erased by fire, and until his subjects are raised in the general resurrection, Satan and his demons will be bound a thousand years because they cannot harm or influence the glorified saints (Revelation 19:20 – 20:3, 5-15).

Isaiah 11:10-16 describes the Messianic age of redemption and fall between verses 1-5, the branch out of David, and 6-9, the millennium, New Heavens and New Earth. Reading verses 10-12 following verses 1-5, “Throughout the Messianic age of redemption the root of Jesse [Jesus the BRANCH] shall stand for an ensign for the Gentiles; [the knowledge of His righteousness will be observable to all, and mightily draw the attention of all to Himself (Romans 15:12)]; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and the place of His rest shall be glory. [The place of His rest is His Body, the Church, where He reveals the fullness of His might and glory (Psalm 45:13-14; Isaiah 66:1-2; Ephesians 1:23; Revelation 21:2-3). And it shall come to pass in that day [when the Body is complete and gathered Home to the Wedding Supper], that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant 144,000 elect Israelites, from Assyria, and from the three parts of Egypt, and from Cush [Southern India to the interior of Africa], and from Elam [Iran], and from Shinar [Turkey], and from Hamath [Syria], and from the western islands and coastlands of the Mediterranean sea. And He shall set up an ensign to the nations, as a sign that will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.”

Here is further Scriptural proof that the citizens of modern Israel are mainly non-Semitic self-styled Jews and Semitic Arabs, and not the people of God’s Covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Israel (Psalm 17:7; Isaiah 6:10-13; 11:11-16; 13:14; 27:13; 49:17; Jeremiah 3:12, 18; 16:15; 23:8; 31:8; Ezekiel 37:14; 39:27; Joel 3:1; Micah 5:3; Zephaniah 3:8-10; Zechariah 10:9-12; Matthew 24:29-31; Revelation 12:14). It is beyond dispute that “Satan, the adversary [of the children of Israel], prowls around like a roaring lion [in the form of the 'City of London and her colonies], seeking whom he may devour [in these countries]” (I Peter 5:8; Genesis 27:39-41).

Zechariah 14:1-2: “All nations will gather together against Jerusalem . . .” Then the Supernatural Cloud of glory will appear and the Mount of Olives will cleave in two. This will precede Zechariah 12:3, and the divided mountain will be the lasting sign to Matthew 24:30 (Isaiah 29:6; Zechariah 14:4; Revelation 16:19), and the Israelites who escape through the valley will announce the sign of Christ’s ‘parousia’ Coming to their brethren dwelling among the Gentiles, predominantly in the now Muslim lands of the ancient Assyrian empire and in nations the Edomite Jews seek to destroy (Genesis 3:15; 27:39-41; I Peter 5:8) . . . to gather them to the Land of the Covenant for their redemption. Thus Zechariah 14:4-5 (Joel 2:32) will be the antitype of Matthew 24:16-21.

In Isaiah 49:4-6, 22 Jesus Messiah says, “I have laboured [over Israel] in vain, I have spent My strength for naught, and in vain (Isaiah 53:1-3; John 1:11; Romans 10:20): yet surely My judgment is with the Lord, and My reward with My God. But now, says the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him: Though Israel is not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and My God shall be My strength. And He said: It is too light a thing that you should be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will make You a Light to the Gentiles, that My salvation may reach to the end of the Earth . . . Thus says the Lord God to Zion/Israel: Behold, I will swear an oath to the Gentiles, and set up My standard to those peoples: and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters [Christ's Gentile Bride, Spiritual Israel, the countless children converted to the Lord while Zion was forsaken by her Husband] shall be carried on their shoulders”.

Isaiah 66:19-21, “I will send those [Israelites] who escape to the nations, to Tarshish [Spain], Pul [an island in the Nile between Egypt and Ethiopia], and Lud [Libya], celebrated archers, to Tubal [south of the Caucasus, between the Black Sea and Araxes, probably Cappadocia, now part of Turkey], and Javan [Greece and Asia Minor], to the isles afar off, that have not heard My fame, neither seen My glory; and they shall declare My glory, [Jesus Christ "from whom the whole Family of God in heaven and earth is named," to the Israelites] among the Gentiles. [The glory of God is employed as the Lord's standard, His ensign or rallying point in Israel (Isaiah 11:10-12; 49:22; 62:10, and Ezekiel 43:1-2)]. And they shall bring all your brethren for a [precious unbloody] offering to the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord. And some of them will I take for [typical] priests and for Levites], says the Lord.”

Revelation 21:3, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.” These chosen ones from among the returnees will be among the 144,000 who will live consecrated godly lives in the Presence of God within the City. Like the priests and Levites of old they will be sustained by tithes brought by the “saved” without the City from new Moon to new Moon and from sabbath to sabbath (Revelation 21:26).

Verse 22 confirms the offerors and the chosen offerings are both of the pure seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before Me, says the Lord, so shall your new Life be eternal”

Verse 23, “And it shall come to pass, that from one new Moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, all flesh [living without the City] shall come to worship before Me, says the Lord.” New Jerusalem is where God and His Family is worshipped together; the City is God’s elect, we are God manifest. There will be no time, and no new moons or sabbaths in the City which is lit not by the sun or the moon but the Shekinah. This is foreshadowed by Matthew 11:29 which speaks of new birth in Jesus as our sabbath, a temporal blessing until we enter New Jerusalem, the Place of God’s eternal rest where there will be no hunger or thirst, no heat or cold, and no feast of Tabernacles. Following the millennium which is the seventh day and sabbath after six days labouring against sin, we will enter the eighth day, which is eternity, and as “pillars in the temple of God, we shall out go no more” (Leviticus 23:36, 39; Revelation 3:12; 7:9-17; Zechariah 14:16-21). Consequently by being granted into eternal Life at the white throne judgment, the “saved” will be granted into the eighth day of the feast of Tabernacles which is eternity.

Colossians 2:16-17, “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of any holyday, or new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the Body is of Christ”.

Verse 24: “And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have rebelled against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence to all mankind”.

Brother Branham said, “If you’re a sinner and your soul slips out, it’ll go yonder into judgment and will be condemned. And then you’ll be cast away, and you’ll be in torment until the day that you are brought back to this earth again. And you will receive an immortal body, an immortal body that cannot die, and will be cast away into outer darkness where there’ll be weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. You’ll be cast into hell, where the worm never dies or fire is never quenched, and you’ll be tormented through all ages there is to come. Jesus said that. That’s a black picture, but it’s what the Bible said” (COD, p. 113:45). However as Gehenna had a time it began, it is not eternal and will have a time that it ends, and as sinners do not have eternal life, their part in the lake of Fire will be limited. nl713.htm

Belarus strikes Head of US Color Revolution Snake

November 25, 2011 — Freedom House, premier peddlers of the entirely disingenuous Western “human rights” crusade, has made a passionate plea for the release of Ales Bialiatski, a “prominent Belarusian human rights defender and head of the Human Rights Center ‘Viasna’ (Spring), who has been sentenced to over four years in a Belarus prison. What Freedom House doesn’t tell you is that Bialiatski is actually the vice president of the US National Endowment for Democracy and George Soros Open Society-funded International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH)—making him anything but a “human rights defender” and instead a coordinator of US-backed destabilization efforts that have been ongoing in the Eastern European nation for years. Bialiatski’s US-funded FIDH has also been recently exposed as behind the entire Tunisian uprising in January 2011. . .

FBI Claims it has no Documents on Occupy Wall Street

November 22, 2011 — Truthout filed a FOIA request with the FBI on October 31, seeking a wide range of documents, including “emails, memos, audio/video, transcripts, reports, threat assessments,” in which Occupy Wall Street was discussed internally by agency officers and/or senior officials and/or any correspondence the agency had about the protest movement with local law enforcement and/or with local government officials. . .

We were surprised the FBI provided us with a final response to our FOIA request within two weeks, given the agency’s FOIA backlog and the lengthy wait times we have faced in response to other requests we have filed. We were even more surprised to learn the FBI was unable to locate a single document in which officers and officials discussed Occupy Wall Street, a global movement which, in the past month, has resulted in violent crackdowns by local law enforcement in more than a dozen cities. . .

Propaganda used ahead of Iraq War being reused over Iran’s Nuke Program

November 21, 2011 — While the US, Britain and Canada are planning to announce a coordinated set of sanctions against Iran’s oil and petrochemical industry today, investigative journalist Seymour Hersh questions the growing consensus on Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program. International pressure has been mounting on Iran since the UN International Atomic Energy Agency revealed in a report the “possible military dimensions” to Iran’s nuclear activities, citing “credible” evidence that “indicates that Iran has carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device.” In his latest article for The New Yorker blog, titled “Iran and the IAEA,” Hersh argues the recent report is a “political document,” not a scientific study. “They [JSOC] found nothing. Nothing. No evidence of any weaponization,” Hersh says. “In other words, no evidence of a facility to build the bomb. They have facilities to enrich, but not separate facilities to build the bomb. This is simply a fact” . . . Full story: democracynow.org

Free Syria Army: Placard-Waving Protesters are Gun-Wielding Terrorists

November 20, 2011 — The “Free Syria Army” is literally an army of militant extremists, many drawn not from Syria’s military ranks, but from the Muslim Brotherhood, carrying heavy weapons back and forth over the Turkish and Lebanese borders, funded, supported, and armed by the United States, Israel, and Turkey. The latest evidence confirming this comes in the form of a report out of the International Institute for Strategic Studies which clearly states that Syria’s opposition is armed and prepared to drag Syria into more violence.

This report comes in sharp contrast to the propaganda fed via the corporate-media and the West’s foreign ministers on a daily basis, where the violence is portrayed as one-sided, with Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad “gunning down” throngs of peaceful, placard waving protesters. Just as in Libya where these so-called “peaceful protesters” turned out to be hordes of genocidal racist Al Qaeda mercenaries, led by big-oil representatives, fighting their cause upon a verified pack of lies, so too is Syria’s “pro-democracy” movement which is slowly being revealed as yet another militant brand of extremists long cultivated by Anglo-American intelligence agencies, whose leadership is harbored in London and Washington and their foot soldiers supplied a steady stream of covert military support and overt rhetorical support throughout the compromised corporate media. . .

With planted “speculation” running through the corporate media that a recent explosion, amongst several other “incidents” in Iran, were the work of Western covert operations, and the Jerusalem Post all but admitting the entire Western-backed destabilization in Syria aims not at ushering in “democracy” or upholding “human rights,” but to weaken Iran by proxy, it is clear that everything within Wall Street and London’s power is being done to provoke Iran. Iran has downplayed the recent explosion at their military base as an accident and has thus far maintained a persistent patience in the face of criminal provocations and overt acts of war by an alarmingly and increasingly depraved West.

It is quite clear that the stratagems spelled out in the corporate-funded Brookings Institute reportWhich Path to Persia?” have been read and understood by both sides and that Iran realizes that any act of retaliation not expertly played, only gives the West what it has stated it wants—an excuse to go to war with the Islamic Republic. . .

US encourages its Citizens to leave Syria Immediately

November 23, 2011 — The US Embassy in Damascus, urges American citizens to leave Syria “immediately” because of the reduction in the number of commercial flights from that country, according to a warning published Wednesday on the Embassy website.

CBS said the warning from the State Department followed after it was announced that US ambassador to Damascus Robert Ford did not return to Syria this month as originally planned. The US diplomat, accused by local officials of interfering in the internal affairs of the country, was recalled from Syria in late October for security reasons. On Tuesday, a resolution condemning the Syrian authorities took the UN General Assembly on the initiative of the European countries and with US support. The document contains a critique of human rights violations in Syria. . . Full story: www.3rm.info


Russia warns NATO on its Readiness for Nuclear WWIII

November 20th, 2011 — In a November 17th speech to Russia’s parliament, General Nikolai Makarov, chief of the General Staff of the Russian armed forces, spoke of concerns over NATO’s expansion eastward and stated that the risks of Russia being pulled into local conflicts have “risen sharply”. . . “under certain conditions local and regional conflicts may develop into a full-scale war involving nuclear weapons.” The general said: “The possibility of local armed conflicts along nearly the whole border has increased dramatically. In certain conditions, I do not rule out local and regional armed conflicts developing into a large-scale war, including using nuclear weapons”. . .

Unfortunately, the US may have already opened the nuclear Pandora’s box in Iraq. . . The US admits use of “depleted uranium” in its weapons systems which presents a very dangerous health hazard on its own, but high level traces of weapons grade uranium 235 have also been found. This could not come from depleted uranium and is only used in nuclear weapons and reactors. Since there are no leaking reactors in the area, the only logical conclusion is that “someone” used nuclear weapons there. We make and possess these types of weapons. Russia and Israel also have them. . .

One World Government! One World Financial System! One World Religion!

November 5, 2011 — The European Stability Mechanism ESM is a new EU-administration. To manage it, Brussels hires the Ministers of Finance of the 17 euro-countries. However, these ministers will come to Brussels with the key of their national vault and the full permission to take out all the money they want, when they want and as often as they want. The ESM is intended to be permanent and without limit. The 17 ministers won’t have to justify the amounts they take, neither how they spend the money. The ESM-ministers will enjoy complete immunity against actions of governments, administrations or judges. The parliaments won’t have a say over these ministers when the latter act under the treaty. This means the end of the sovereign democracies in the 17 euro-countries! . .

Mark of the beast. . . No man can buy or sell except he that had the mark. And it’s coming right here. You listen to it. You’ll probably be seeing it ‘fore I get back here again. It’s right at the door, and we’re near the end (At Thy Word Lord, #48-0305).


Zechariah Chapter Fourteen – Part I

 

Zechariah 14:1-5, “Behold, the day of the Lord comes, and your spoil shall be divided in the midst of Jerusalem. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses plundered, and the women raped; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city”.

Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. And His feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the middle eastward and westward, and there will be a very great valley; and half of the mountain will remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains will reach unto Azal: You will flee as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord My God will come, and all the saints with Him”.

Thank God for sending us a vindicated prophet in these last days who has “restored the apostolic faith” (Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11), and “finished the mystery of God” (Revelation 10:7) as Jesus promised. A Word is a thought expressed and Jesus Messiah is the sum of God’s eternal thoughts—His very Self—expressed in flesh through the virgin birth of the Logos. Jesus is not a second or third person but the One Person of God manifest as the last Adam to discharge the duty of KINSMAN Redeemer for the first Adam and his race (Leviticus 47-55; Ruth). Redemption is based upon relationship by faith in the Logos, or union with the mind of God (I Corinthians 2:16; Ephesians 4:13; Philippians 2:5) and kinship by race to the first Adam who was an expression of the Logos made flesh, for Jesus who is the Word, can only redeem, buy back or recover Attributes. This eliminates Cain and his race who are not in the Book of Life, which is the genealogy of the first Adam’s attributes being purged of sons whose free moral agency resists chastisement, proving they are not the Attributes of God in Christ (Hebrews 12:8, 16).

Jesus comes only three times:

First He came to redeem His Bride on Calvary; a physical or (Gk.) ‘erchomai’ Coming.

Second He came to unite with His Bride in the unity of the faith and receive her in the rapture. This is the (Gk.) ‘parousia’ Coming prophesied throughout the New Testament. It is His arrival and subsequent unseen Presence; the revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963 brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form (I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 19:1-7).

Third will be His second physical (Gk.) ‘erchomai’ return after the consummation of life when He steps out on the ashes of the wicked with the glorified saints of all Ages for a thousand years of peace (Malachi 4:1-3).

Christians are not looking for the physical or (Gk.) ‘erchomai’ return of the glorified Jesus of Nazareth, and neither will the 144,000 elect Israelites, once they are instructed. Jesus stated emphatically “do not look for the Man, look for Light on the fullness of the Word” which is Christ (Matthew 24:23-27). Thus His second Coming to us Gentiles is the revelation of the Message of His end-time Prophet, and His second Coming to Israel three and a half years after our translation will be the revelation of the Message of their two prophets. The ‘rapture’ is the threefold process explained in I Thessalonians 4:14-17 whereby faith transforms the thing hoped for into glorified substance (Ephesians 2:26; Hebrews 11:1).

Six thousand years from the first Adam, and two thousand years from the last Adam we are found in a time of apostasy and spiritual turmoil in which the Light of God’s revealed Word is neither clear, nor is yet extinguished but inexplicable to thousands of (so-called) Christian denominations or sects, each preaching contrary to the other. But this was foreknown, and while they refuse any Light of “the present Truth” but grope around His Word by the guesswork of human reasoning, “it shall come to pass, said Zechariah, that at evening time [that is, in the western hemisphere] it shall be Light”  (Zechariah 14:9-7; Matthew 24:28, 14).

Although Moses and Daniel foretold the year, month, day and hour in which Messiah would be slain, Israel sought His first Coming according the prophecies for His third Coming, having rejected the Elijah of Malachi 3 for theological traditions that make the Word of God of no effect (Matthew 15:1-9). But “God has confined all men in unbelief, that He might have mercy on all” (Romans 11:18-32). Now the Gentiles are apostate “and know it not”, having rejected the Elijah of Malachi 4 for the traditions of men, they seek the second Coming according to the oracles of His third Coming (II Thessalonians 2:1-3; Revelation 3:17-20).

Let us therefore hasten slowly with this study to ensure our understanding is anchored on a correct chronological order of events and the clear revelation of Scripture. We will begin in Matthew’s Gospel which he addressed primarily to Israelites. In chapter 23 Jesus indicted the Scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites blind to the faith, full of iniquity, and finally, physical Serpent’s seed, and declared: “your house [the temple] is left forsaken and desolate; for I tell you, you will not see Me [God] again, until you shall say: Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.”

It was Tuesday afternoon, April 4 AD30, and as Jesus was leaving the temple, “His disciples [referring probably to Jesus' pronouncement and interceding for the temple that He might prevent its destruction] directed His attention to its beautiful buildings, [which as sons of Galilee they had so often contemplated with amazement as God's only sanctuary on earth. But Jesus was preaching the end of the temple, the city, the old economy of things, and the future manifestation on earth in glory of the New Jerusalem wherein Christ and His Bride is the temple when heaven and earth embrace] (Revelation 21; 22). Jesus answered: Do you see all of these things? I assure you, there will not be one stone be left upon another that will not be thrown down”.

Crossing the Kidron otherwise known as the valley of Jehoshaphat they climbed the Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem, and as they sat alone that evening on the slopes of the mountain the disciples asked Jesus three questions:

Tell us when will it be that not one stone of the temple will be left on another?
What will be the sign of Your second [or (Gk.) 'parousia'] Coming?
And what will be the sign of the consummation of the dispensations or ages? (Gk.) Kairos time.

Matthew 24:4-5: “And Jesus answered and said, Take heed that no man misleads you. For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” This is the First Seal of redemption that ran from the day of Pentecost, through the Church Ages of Ephesus (53-170), Smyrna (170-312), and Pergamos (312-606), whose angels or Messengers were Paul, Irenaeus, and Martin (Revelation 6:1-2).

Matthew 24:6: “And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that you are not alarmed: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” This was the Second Seal of redemption that encompassed almost a thousand years known as the Dark Ages represented by Columba’s Thyatira Church Age (606-1520, Revelation 6:3-4).

Matthew 24:7: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.” This was the Third Seal of redemption for the Sardis (1520-1750) and Philadelphia (1750-1906) Church Ages whose angels were Martin Luther and John Wesley (Revelation 6:5-6).

Matthew 24:8: “All these are the early pains of childbirth.” This is the Fourth Seal of Spiritual redemption for the saints of the Laodicean Church Age (1906-1963) and Christ’s end-time Bride in this present holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel’s Pentecostal Feast (1963 to the translation; Revelation 6:7-8). From the perspective of Matthew’s Israelite readers the birth pangs will culminate in the Spiritual birth of the nation in one day—all 144,000 of them—under the Sixth Seal and Seventh Trumpet (Isaiah 66:8; Revelation 6:11b; 7:2-4; 11:11-13; 12:11; 13:7; 14:1-5, 12 – 15:4). Israel’s birth pangs coincide with the three “woes” of Earth’s birth pains under their Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Trumpets in World Wars I, II and III (Revelation 8:13 – 9:12; 9:13-21, 11:14; and 11:15-19; 12:7 – 15:4) to cleanse herself for the millennium which is when the Kingdom will be restored to Israel (Acts 1:6).

Matthew 24:9-13: “Then they will deliver you [Israelites] up to tribulation (Jeremiah 30:7), and martyr you: and you will be hated by all nations for My Name’s sake (Matthew 27:25-26; John 11:49-52; Deuteronomy 19:21). Then many will fall away and will betray and hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and will deceive many. [In Newsletter 484 the Jews name Jesus among twenty-five Jewish false messiahs and the "Talmud" says the sufferings or "travail" are the "throes of mother Zion which is in labor to bring forth the Messiah—without metaphor, the Jewish people"]. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall grow cold. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”

This was the Fifth Seal under which the names of blood Israelites (not self-styled Jews) martyred from Calvary to the end of the Gentile dispensation for their adherence to the Law and the prophets are preserved in the Book of Life, and they will be granted in to eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment (Revelation 6:9-11). God allowed their Talmudic rabbis to blind them to the present Truth” so He could “first visit the Gentiles to take out a people, for His Name, [a Bride]. And to this agree the Words of the prophets” (Isaiah 29:9-16; Matthew 15:1-9; Romans 11:25, 32; Acts 15:14-15). Today He has allowed our (once) Protestant churches to be blind to the present Truth” and impersonate the Word for a day gone by; these too will be martyred, for He is preparing to return to Israel.

It was Jesus’ confrontation with Israel’s apostate religious leaders that afternoon which led to His warning in verses 4-13, as He explains in verse 14: “throughout the national apostasy this Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come(verse 14; Malachi 1:11; Daniel 12:4, 9; Matthew 10:23; Revelation 10:4). During the Gentile dispensation not only will He woo and wed His Gentile Bride; His Word will determine who (by the exercise of their free moral agency) will constitute the nations of the “saved” that will be incorporated into the realm of His all-embracing Messianic dominion on this renewed earth. For “the people, nations and tongues will continue to exist and serve Him” throughout eternity (Daniel 7:14, 27; Philippians 2:9-11; Revelation 21:24-26).

“The end” of the ages or dispensations of grace will come when the Gospel has been preached to and rejected by all nations,” that is, we Gentiles. Then the Lord will bring judgment to the non-elect Gentiles—everyone on earth but 144,000 elect Israelites, and they will be martyred for their faith as will those non-elect who are “saved.”

Amos 3:7, “The Lord God will do nothing of great moment without first revealing His secret His servants the prophets [with warning and a way to escape the judgment].” Christ’s mediation for ignorance of the fullness of God’s Word ended with the Laodicean Church Age when Christ fulfilled Revelation 4, 5, and 10:1-6. When the Lamb left the altar of sacrifice to claim His inheritance the seven portions of the Spirit that had anointed the “angels” and saints in each of the Church Ages were back before the Throne; there was no Blood on the Mercy Seat, His intercession in the Office of Son of God was fulfilled, and all Seven Church Ages were over. He was no longer the Lamb, but Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and the saints crowned Him King of Kings.

“The time of the end” commenced in March 1963, when Christ took the Book of Redemption, opened the Seven Seals and descended wigged as Judge in the prophetic Office of Son of man with the open Book in His right hand to reveal their mystery through His servant, William Branham (Daniel 12:4, 9; Matthew 24:14; John 5:27; I Thessalonians 4:14-16; Jude 14-15; Revelation 10:1-7).

A prophet is a sign of impending judgment. Brother Branham’s Message is the “midnight cry” of Matthew 25:6, which is the “shout” of I Thessalonians 4:16, calling the wise and foolish virgin OUT from Rome and her (once) Protestant harlot daughters which His Message has indicted, “into the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation” (Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 15:46-57). Following Martin Luther and John Wesley, He was the “third angel, saying with a loud voice: If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, he shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the Presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:9-11). His Message was confirmed by the heavenly Voice of the Archangel—Christ in the heart of His end-time Bride placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation to bring her to maturity (I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 18:4).

Since you are privileged above almost every other person on earth to see these revelations and recognize your day and it’s Message, “be not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work” in this hour where the darkness of apostasy is enveloping the world. Christ’s mediation and all seven Church Ages are over, yet the Judaeo-Roman denominations and cults such as Seventh Day Adventists and their Jehovah Witness (so-called), Worldwide Church of God, Philadelphian Church, British Israel and (so-called) Christian Identity children, along with the independents, carry on preaching “that which is in PART” augmented by human reasoning against the Word like the Judahites (and their impersonators) two thousand years after the end of their dispensation. Oh, they can see storm clouds of God’s wrath overhead, and like the Israelites in their day, they know the Coming of the Lord is nigh, but satisfied with their second-hand religion they are not prepared to search the Scripture to learn the present Truth . . . what Jesus is doing now (Hosea 4:6).

Daniel (2:34-35, 44) said to Nebuchadnezzar: “You watched the image until you saw a stone hewn without hands strike the image on his feet of iron and clay, breaking them to pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold, were together pulverized and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors which the wind carried away so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. . . . And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever”.

In Isaiah 34:8, “The day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion” announces “the judgment to the Gentiles” under the Sixth Seal (Isaiah 24; Joel 3:9-15; Matthew 24:29; Hebrews 12:26-27; II Peter 3:7, 10; Revelation 6:12-17) and Brother Branham’s Seventh Vial where the wrath of the Lord is kindled against all nations and all that belongs to them (verses 1-4). Being (Heb.) cherem, they are to be given up to slaughter and cast out so “the stench of their corpses shall rise, and the mountains flow with their blood.” Isaiah is prophesying the destruction of the world. In verses 2-3 he declares what the Lord purposes to do on earth—His acts of will, not of performance. Verse 4 pictures the judgment that will be executed in heaven with the casting down of Satan and his host. Combining intention and performance Isaiah contemplates the judgment of God beginning in heaven, and continuing on earth in the remainder of the chapter (I Peter 4:17; Revelation 12:7).

In verse 5 he says that the sword of the Lord, intoxicated with the judgment accomplished on “the host of the high ones that are on high” (24:21), and thirsting for more blood, descends to earth—first on Edom, the nation which is ‘cherem.’ John Hyrcanus, high priest and prince of the Maccabees, defeated and forcibly assimilated the Edomites in 123BC. In 129BC Ammouius wrote, “The Idumeans were . . . subdued by the Judahites and compelled to be circumcised, and to unite into one nation, and be subject to the same laws, they were called Jews.” Predominantly physical Serpent’s seed and more numerous than Judahites in the days of our Lord, these Edomites “were hereafter no other than Jews” (Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, XIII, 9:1).

“Jews who had been banished from Constantinople by the Byzantine ruler, Leo III, found a home amongst these heretofore pagan Khazars and, in competition with Mohammedan and Christian missionaries, won them over to the Judaic faith. Bulan, the ruler of Khazaria, became converted to Judaism around AD740. His nobles and, somewhat later, his people followed suit” (Dr. Alfred Lilienthal, The Jews are not a race). These people who originated in Lower Mongolia are Serpent’s seed.

This helps dilate the prophecy of Zechariah 13:7b – 14:5 where the Lord turns His “hand upon the little ones [of the blood of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob]. And it shall come to pass, that two thirds of the population of the land [of the Covenant], will be cut off and die; but the third shall be left. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and refine them as silver is refined, and try them as gold is tried: they shall call on My Name, and I will hear them [not on the ground of inherent righteousness of the flesh but by grace through faith, "For they are not all Israel who are of Israel" (Romans 9:6)]: I will say, It is My people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.” This was foretold for the end time “in the year that king Uzziah died . . . yet it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and be dealt with as a tree that was felled for burning, so there will remain of true Israel but the stump of a remnant in the root of which will be the holy seed of 144,000 elect Israelites” (Isaiah 6:13).

Apostate Adamites entitled to claim the birthright but proven to be “fornicators or profane persons like Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright” are spiritual Edomites in fornication with man-made traditions against Christ the Word (Hebrews 12:16). The seed of Cain “is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be very afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain: he is the servant of God to execute His wrath on the wrongdoer” (Romans 13:4). So in current affairs we witness God’s judgment upon the remnant of true Israel and professing Christians residing in Babylon, now Iraq, the lion-like first beast with eagle’s wings; and the ‘city of London’-dominated US image to the beast of Imperial Rome is gunning for the bear-like second beast Medo-Persia, now Iran, home to the largest known population of Israelites in the Middle East. And Greece, the four-headed leopard with four wings like a fowl, was subdued economically and politically last week when the EU President imposed technocrat economist Lucas Papademos, former vice president of the European Central Bank and Bank of Greece governor and a member of the Trilateral Commission since 1998, as prime minister. Rome, home of the ten-horned fourth beast, was also subdued economically and politically last week when technocrat economist Mario Monti, former EU Competition Commissioner, European Chairman of the Trilateral Commission, and Bilderberger was made senator for life and prime minister.

Political analyst Peter Eyre explains how disreputable politicians placed in positions of power have brought politics into disrepute; the next step is to remove all pretence of constitutional rights by replacing politicians with banksters and bureaucrats who will sort out the economy by dispensing with politics altogether. That way, we can get on with working to maintain The System, without bothering about policies and human rights.

With her US image the fourth beast has recovered the kingdoms of the previous beasts, most recently Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt—portions of the Assyrian empire whence the twelve Tribes will return from exile: Lebanon, Syria, and Iran are yet to be taken. Israelites are the mutual enemy of Rome and the self-styled Jews working towards their common objective of one totalitarian world government. Jewry will eventually side with Judaeo-Russia and annihilate both the United States and Vatican City which will usher in Armageddon.

Jesus now reverts to the first question of verse 3a: “Tell us when will it be that not one stone of the temple will be left on another”? In verse 15 He says: “When you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place, (let the reader understand). . .”

This prophecy has a twofold meaning. Early in the Gentile dispensation “the abomination of desolation” referred to the eagle standards of the Roman Legions of Titus as the parallel passage in Luke 21:20 warned, “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, the time for its destruction is nigh.” The military ensigns of their colonial masters were hateful to the Judeans to whom the eagle was an abomination (Leviticus 11:13). Standing on the Mount of Olives rising over the temple site they signified the holy place had fallen under dominion to the idolaters. In fact it had fallen under the dominion of Satan and his dupes, the apostate priests and so-called Jews who had murdered the God of the temple. Verses 16-21 declare this was to be a sign to Christians to take immediate flight lest they be trapped on a sabbath when the city gates were shut, or overtaken by winter’s snow.

Matthew interjected: “let the reader understand,” referring us to Daniel 9:25-26: Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem (445BC, Nehemiah 1:1-2:8) to Prince Messiah will be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks [483 years of prophetic years of 360 days] . . . After which Messiah will be slain, though innocent: and the people of the [Roman] prince who comes will destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end will be with a flood [of overwhelming military force], and desolations are determined to the end of the war.” Matthew expounded to his Israelite readers Jesus’ awareness and confirmation of Daniel’s prophecy 578 years previously, pinpointing the year of His cruel murder at the hands of self-styled Jews and Israelites as Moses had foretold the month, day and hour; the near approach of the Jewish war, Jerusalem’s destruction by a Roman General (subsequently recorded by the historian Josephus), and that war between Israel and the Judaeo-Roman beast will extend to the consummation of life on earth.

Israel’s high priests, theologians and Sanhedrin of elders were absolutely blind to the written THUS SAITH THE LORD of this vindicated prophet—a perfect type of the ministers and elders in today’s so-called Christian church. Do you see how Satan blinds religious people, leading them to man-made theology that makes the Word of God of none effect and transforms them into fanatics? Thus led by their apostate priesthood, all the people unanimously prophesied against themselves: “His blood be on us and on our children” (Matthew 27:25). “Crucify Him” (Mark 15:13); as in the near future the same people will covenant with apostate Christians to unanimously declare Satan, at that time incarnate in Rome’s pope, president of one world government.

“To make sure that no food or water supply would reach the city from the outside, Titus completely sealed off Jerusalem from the rest of the world with a wall of earth as high as the stone wall around Jerusalem itself. Anyone not a Roman soldier caught anywhere in this vast dry moat was crucified on the top of the earthen wall in sight of the Jews of the city. It was not uncommon for as many as five hundred people a day to be so executed. The air was redolent with the stench of rotting flesh and rent by the cries and agony of the crucified. But the Jews held out for still another year, the fourth year of the war, to the discomfiture of Titus” (Max Dimont, Jews, God, and History, Signet. p. 101). Emulating Titus’ strategy, one of their own, Sir Henry Kissinger, declared “Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.”

This was Israel’s First Trumpet judgment calling them out of spiritual Egypt to recognize their true Atonement: that day on Calvary when Israel crucified her Messiah (Revelation 8:7). We live under the Sixth Trumpet pending the Seventh Trumpet to call the great tribulation, “the time of Jacob’s trouble” to true Israelites when two prophets will reveal the mystery of their feast of Trumpets calling them to their true Atonement after the Church Age saints resurrect and “we who are alive and remain” have manifested that we are the Sons of God.

Matthew speaks to the saints of all Seven Church Ages, whose members were mainly Israelite converts until the Thyatira Church Age, which commenced in AD606. Verses 15-28 concern our tribulation and persecution throughout the Gentile dispensation, which, as we have explained, is the period covered by the first Five Seals. “The abomination of desolation” over the ancient holy place is no longer the Roman ensigns on the Mount of Olives, but es Sakhra, the Dome of the Rock, whose construction was erected between 689 and 691 and dedicated in 692, and is said to be the site of Mohammed’s night travels on the steed Buraq to “the farthest mosque” where he lead other prophets in prayer, then rode to heaven where he spoke to God, who gave him instructions to take to the faithful on Earth regarding the number of times to offer prayers each day.

Verses 22-28 concern the Seventh Seal and Christ’s second or ‘parousia’ Coming for His end-time Bride. “Unless those days [of tribulation] are shortened, [all mankind would perish through germ warfare or atomic conflagration, and] there would be no flesh saved [for the translation]. But for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.”

How can time be shortened?” For God’s elect time is being shortened by the revelations in Brother Branham’s Message which restore us to the apostolic faith, separate us from the love of the world and the world church system, and draw us to maturity in the unity of the faith under preeminence to His Word so that what we say He will do in the manifestation of the Sons of God, and faith will change in the atoms to meet the Lord in the air. For the rest of humanity time will continue for several years before it is “shortened” by martyrdom or nuclear annihilation in the great tribulation.

Faith in this end-time Message is our Passport to eternal Life; our ticket to escape. Foolish virgin in the circle of this Message and those outside will not escape martyrdom.

“Then [in the days of Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming, which is the "shortening of days"] if any one says to you, Look, here is Christ! or There He is! believe it not. For there shall arise false anointed ones, and false prophets, who will show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. So if they say to you, Behold, He is in the desert; do not go out: Look, He is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the Lightning comes out of the east, and shines to the west; so will the ‘parousia’ Coming of the Son of man be. For wherever the Body is, there the eagles will be gathered together”.

This is a universal Coming we are NOT to look for the Man. A man cannot appear universally—the revelation of the Seven Seals did not bring Jesus of Nazareth back to earth, it brought Christ the Logos or fullness of the Word back to earth in W_O_R_D form in the prophetic office of Son of man. The S_O_N Light that quickened the saints in the morning of the Gospel is restored in the evening to quicken Christ’s end-time Bride to the Living Body Word (Zechariah 14:7).

Matthew 24:29-31, “Immediately after the tribulation of the Gentile dispensation the sun [S_O_N Light] will be darkened, the moon [church] shall not reflect her light [from the S_O_N in His absence], the stars will fall from heaven [ministers will apostatize], and the powers of the heavens will be shaken [casting Satan and his host down to Earth].” Jesus is describing the Sixth Seal which will manifest at the same time as Israel’s Seventh Trumpet sounds and the Seventh Vial is poured out on non-elect Gentiles to distinguish the foolish virgin from unbelievers. This will end the Gentile dispensation; call the resurrection of the Church Age saints and the manifestation of the living Sons of God. Satan will be cast down to earth and after the translation God will endue two Israelite prophets with the Spirit that anointed Moses and Elijah. The Church is gone, and God is dealing with an election of blood Israelites in the land of the Covenant.

Sign of Christ's parousia ComingJesus next turns to the disciples’ second question, Matthew 24:3b: “What will be the sign of Your second [or 'parousia'] Coming”? In verse 30 He answers: “Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven.” This sign of Christ’s second or ‘parousia’ Coming to the elect Israelites will be the Shekinah, a Supernatural Cloud of glory like the sign of His ‘parousia’ Coming to us pictured here over Arizona on February 28, 1963. On Mount Transfiguration Jesus showed Peter, James and John a vision of His second or ‘parousia’ coming to Israel that will be revealed by the ministry of a Moses and Elijah who will expound the purpose of the Law and identify the revelations of their prophets fulfilled in the history of the past 2,000 years (Matthew 16:27 – 17:1-9). Moses represents the resurrected saints and Elijah represents we who will change in the atoms before their ministry to Israel. Christ’s end-time Bride has seen the sign of His ‘parousia’ to us, but when we are caught up into the Shekinah with the resurrected Church Age saints “every eye shall see and meet the glorified Lord in the air.” However in this verse Jesus is speaking of the appearance of the sign of His ‘parousia’ Coming to Israel, and in particular their revelation of its import, quickened by the visible resurrection and ascent of their two prophets more than three and a half years after our translation.

Jesus continues, “Then all of the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the ‘erchomai’ Coming of the Son of man in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” The world population will not be ignorant of the Gospel; as we read in verse 14, “this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached all over the world for a witness to all nations [that is to we Gentiles]; then will the end come.” The end time began in 1963 when Christ opened the Seven Seals and revealed their mystery through His Prophet Brother Branham. For three and a half years under one world government all humanity will have witnessed two strange men preaching in Israel dressed in dark course garments like sacks made from animal hair. Like Noah, they will be universally known and ridiculed for their radical Hebrew Message that blasts Judaism and indicts the rabbis of every sect; for their authority over nature to withhold rain, turn waters into blood, or scourge the earth with every kind of plague as often as they desire, and to slay by the spoken Word those who seek to harm or offend them.

So feared and despised will they be that when martyred by the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church the two witnesses will lie unburied for three and a half days in the street where Israel’s Messiah was crucified. All kindreds, tongues and nations will see their dead bodies on television, internet or mobile phone—rejoice, make merry, and exchange gifts in celebration of the death of these two prophets who tormented them as they did recently over the martyrdom of president Milosevic and Colonel Gaddafi. After three and a half days and by the same means the world will witness the resurrection and ascension of Israel’s prophets, and a great earthquake will slay seven thousand in Jerusalem (signaling the Spiritual resurrection of new birth of the 144,000).

The “tribes of earth” will be the just and the unjust non-elect who will not (as might be supposed) see the physical return of the glorified Jesus: only those “tread down the [atomic] ashes of the wicked” with Him after the consummation of Life will see His physical return (Malachi 4:3). However by their familiarity with Gospel Message, no matter how shallow, their witness of the heavenly sign, the powerful witness of Israel’s two prophets and their vindication in public resurrection and translation into heaven, they will see that Jesus Christ is coming back to earth in the flesh as He was taken up into heaven, and mourn, knowing they have missed the ‘rapture’ and will be martyred, or that they are LOST.

The pattern prophesied in Zechariah 14:1-8, Matthew 24:22-31, and Revelation 1:7 is common to both Christ’s end-time Bride and the 144,000 elect Israelites:

First is the appearance of the “sign of the Son of man,” the Shekinah in the form of a Pillar of Cloud.

Second is the revelation of Christ’s ‘parousia’ by the elect.

Third is the realization by the non-elect of the vindication of Scripture and a fearful mourning among the foolish virgin and other classes of the “saved” knowing they have fallen short of the mark of God’s high calling, and must surrender their life for His Word in order to maintain their name in the Book of Life.

Verse 31: “And He shall send His angels [the Hebrew prophets (Zechariah 4; Revelation 11] with the great sound of a trumpet [Israel's Seventh Trumpet (Revelation 11:15)], and they will gather together His elect from the four winds [war and strife in the "time of Jacob's trouble"] from one end of heaven to the other.” So Israelis are mainly non-Semitic self-styled Jews and not the people of God’s Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Israel, who will not return to the land of the Covenant until the first half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week.

Now let us return to verses 14-15, “This Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached all over the world for a witness to all nations [except Israel because "blindness in part has happened to Israel until the last elect Gentile has come in" (Romans 11:25), that is, until Daniel's Seventieth Week. Jesus told His disciples, "You will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of man Comes" (Matthew 10:23); only] then will the end come.”

From the perspective of the Church and Israel today: “the abomination of desolation, [the Dome of the Rock], spoken of by Daniel the prophet [will remain] standing in the holy place [until the end of the Gentile dispensation, at which time it will be demolished by earthquake].” This will instantly ignite the brief ‘hot stage’ of the present World War III wherein God “will gather all nations to war against Jerusalem; and the city shall be taken, and the houses plundered, the spoil divided in her midst, and the women raped; half of the city will go forth into captivity, and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.” This accords with United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 of 1947 and Zechariah’s prophecy more than 2,500 years ago. The history preplanned by Satan is foreknown of God who will achieve what He has purposed.

Tomorrow’s ‘news’ was written in 1871. The ‘hidden hand’ which always controls both sides of the Hegelian dialectic will soon present the world with a fait accompli: “choose you this day Judaeo-Communism or Judaeo-Catholicism.” Brother Branham taught that Communism is a spirit, Jesus called it “Laodicea,” which means “people’s rights.” As orchestrated by organs of the City of London’s US government, the Vatican and Rothschild’s in 9/11, al Qauda, “Occupy Wall Street,” “colour revolutions,” “Arab Spring,” etc., this spirit has invaded all nations. In his letter to Guiseppe Mazzini dated August 15, 1871 Albert Pike explained his plan for world conquest:

World War II was to be fomented by using the differences between Fascists and Political Zionists. This war was to be fought so that Nazism would be destroyed and the power of Political Zionism increased so that the sovereign state of Israel could be established in Palestine. [Satan needs modern Israel to impersonate God's plan with one world government, usurp Michael's right as King of kings and receive universal adoration as God (II Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 13:8). God needs the land of the Covenant as it is the one place He has chosen to meet His nation of 144,000 elect Israelites "for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance" (Joel 2:32; Deuteronomy 16:5-6). But until He performs the Word he spoke by Zechariah to reduce the squatters, Israelites will not return to the land of the covenant "for fear of the Jews"]. During World War II International Communism was to be built up until it equaled in strength that of united Christendom. At this point it was to be contained and kept in check until required for the final social cataclysm. [Are you following the current 'news'? Do you see how history is pre-planned by the children of Cain (Matthew 23:33-35)]? Can any informed person deny [that the Jews] Roosevelt and Churchill did put this policy into effect?

World War III is to be fomented by using the differences the agentur of the Illuminati stir up between Political Zionists and the leaders of the Moslem world. The war is to be directed in such a manner that Islam (the Arab World including Mohammedanism) and Political Zionism (including the State of Israel) will destroy themselves while at the same time the remaining nations, once more divided against each other on this issue, will be forced to fight themselves into a state of complete exhaustion physically, mentally, spiritually and economically. Can any unbiased and reasoning person deny that the intrigue now going on in the Near, Middle, and Far East, [the alien-controlled UN, congress and parliaments] is designed to accomplish this devilish purpose? Do you see the devilment in multiculturalism (miscegenation), feminism, homosexual ‘rights’, humanism, usury, no-fault divorce, dual citizenship and other perversions against the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to divide and conquer your family, your community and your nation with hate]?

After World War III is ended, those who aspire to undisputed world domination will provoke the greatest social cataclysm the world has ever known. [Only one blinded by sin could fail to see how 'social engineering' using the controlled media, diabolically perverse school and higher education, false history, devious government statutes dictated by the UN, corrupt courts, misdirection of police to generate revenue rather than preserve peace, TV mind manipulation, etc., has eroded individual intelligence, belief in the Bible, moral rigor, physical vigor and community harmony]. We quote Albert Pike’s own written words taken from the letter catalogued in the British Museum Library, London, England:

“We shall unleash the Nihilists and Atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will be from that moment without compass, anxious for an ideal, but with out knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view, a manifestation which will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time” (William Guy Carr, Pawns in the Game, p. xv-xvi).

If you follow the ‘news’ you will know “we” is the powerful rulers of the ‘City of London’ whose colonies include, the UK, US, Canada, Australia and over fifty other puppet nations and elements of the reviving Judaeo-Roman empire, to kill, rape and loot at her bidding. The identity, mindset and objectives of the Luciferian “we” is spelled out in The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, and if you have any further doubt, study the Talmud.

Do you see how the world is being manipulated to fulfill that satanic objective? Jesus counseled this last generation before the consummation of life: “Buy of Me gold tried in the fire that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness does not appear; and anoint your eyes with eyesalve, that you may see” (Revelation 3:18).

The end of the Gentile dispensation will be marked by a great earthquake of a magnitude unprecedented in human history that will sink Los Angeles and a 1,500 x 300-400 mile segment of earth’s crust; and as the Lord descends in the Mount Zion rapture, His mountain pushing up from beneath will cleave the Mount of Olives in the middle eastward and westward, signifying the imminent resurrection of New Jerusalem, Christ’s Bride, and demolishing the “abomination of desolation” on the temple mount (Daniel 2:25; Zechariah 4:7; 14:9-11). Zechariah 14:4 will be the antithesis of Matthew 24:15.

In His temptation in the wilderness “the Devil took Jesus up into an exceedingly high mountain [like the fifteen hundred mile high Mount Zion on which New Jerusalem will actually descend as prefigured here in theophany, "for the theophanies of those who sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him" (I Thessalonians 4:14; Hebrews 12:1; Jude 14)], and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and said: I will give you all these things, if you will fall down and worship me. Then Jesus said to him, Begone, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve” (Matthew 4:8-10).

The first resurrection will commence three days after the earthquake, and for the following thirty-nine days Christ’s end-time Bride will manifest that they are the Sons of God. Daniel’s Seventieth Week will commence from the translation of the Church (or perhaps ten-days thereafter) and end with our return for the millennium when 144,000 Israelites, resurrected and glorified, “anoint the Most Holy Place . . . New Jerusalem that descends from God out of heaven as a Bride adorned for Her Husband; and a great voice out of heaven will declare, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God”—New Jerusalem is God manifest in His Family—Jesus Christ and His Bride of all Ages. In this form He will be worshiped throughout eternity by the “saved” dwelling around the earth outside the City (William Branham, the Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel’s Visit to Daniel, p. 51:35; 73:125; Revelation 21:2).

After earthquakes sink Los Angeles and much of California and “the cities of the nations fall” as tidal waves sweep the seas (Revelation 18:21-24; 19:18-19; Luke 21:25), and cleave the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 13:8-9; 14:4; Isaiah 29:6; Revelation 11:8; 16:19) destroying the Dome of the rock, the Bible says “all nations” will attack Jerusalem. Muslim nations will certainly rise to defend Islam’s second most holy site. However, I suspect philo-Zionist nations will be too heavily committed to the consequences of global devastation from ongoing earthquakes, volcanoes, Tsunamis and violent winds generated by the unprecedented convulsion of nature at the end of the Gentile dispensation and casting down of Satan to participate in the brief ‘hot stage’ of World War III until Russia attacks, invades and garrisons a devastated mainland USA whose own military will be scattered around the globe on imperial exploits, or wrecked.

Rome will unite a federation of world religions with legations in the Vatican; the Black Nobility “will give [NATO] power and strength to the beast,” and her reviving Roman empire will “ratify a covenant with the [non-Semitic] Jewish [banksters of the City of London] for one week [of seven years]” (Daniel 9:27; Revelation 17:12-13). Then, backed by Russia’s religious leaders and guaranteeing gold backing to refinance the US dollar and restart the world economy, her black bishop will sidestep the militarily victorious Judaeo-Communist white knight proving that gold and the love of money talks louder than guns (Revelation 13:4). Russia will withdraw her troops and the world will proclaim Rome’s then Devil-incarnate pope who has restored peace, president of one totalitarian world government.

Jerusalem will become a ‘corpus separatum’ or “separated body,” an internationally administered zone encompassing the 1947 municipal boundaries “plus surrounding villages and towns.” This special legal and political status peculiar to its environment “under a special international regime administered by the United Nations” is because “of its association with three world religions.” The Plan was never implemented. At the end of the 1948-49 War, an armistice line was drawn, with western Jerusalem in Israeli hands, and east Jerusalem, together with the whole West Bank, controlled by Transjordan. Yet the 1947 plan under United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 is the basis on which Zechariah 14:2 and Revelation 16:19 will be fulfilled in the very near future and administered by the Judaeo-Roman church as foretold in Daniel 4:23; 9:27; 11:45; Luke 21:24; 23:28-31; Job 22:23; Revelation 13:1-3. These maps show the 1947 UN Partition of Palestine into three parts, a Jewish part, a Palestinian part and an internationally administered zone to include the city of Jerusalem as a Corpus Separatum to be administered by the United Nations.

With peace restored the self-styled non-Semitic Jews and apostate Israelites will reinstate their animal sacrifices as they did on their return from the Captivity when “They set the altar in its place; for fear was in them because of the people of those countries: and they offered . . . the continual burnt offering . . . But the foundation of the temple of the Lord was not yet laid” (Ezra 3:3-6). Today’s Temple Mount Terrorists have prepared the foundation stone for a third “temple made with hands” wherein they will restore the temple worship, desolate of the Spirit, blind and blasphemous as it was when their Messiah departed from Herod’s temple. They will replace the desolating abomination of es Sakhra with the desolating abomination of a new “Jews’ house” in which God will not dwell (Matthew 23:38; Acts 7:48-50). Then “in the midst of the seven-year covenant [between the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church and the international or "wandering" Cainite Jewish banksters, the "prince" or pope of Rome will abrogate his covenant and] cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he will make it desolate until the consummation [by forcing his trinitarian worship which is the mark of the beast]” (Daniel 9:27; Isaiah 28:18-22; Revelation 13:5-10, 15-18).

Daniel 12:11-12, “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the [Judaeo-Roman Catholic] abomination that makes the temple desolate is enforced, there shall be 1,290 days. Blessed is he who is steadfast to the end, and comes to the 1,335 days.” This abomination will be the forcing of Rome’s mark of the beast—her trinitarian dogma as symbolized by the golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication (impure doctrine) from which she has made all nations to drink. Jesus “saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the Christian martyrs . . . and in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth” (Revelation 17:4-6; 18:6, 24).

The Lord will withhold the destruction of Rome and the United States until the 144,000 elect Israelites have been born-again (Revelation 7:2-4). After they have been martyred by Rome, she must drink in double measure the judgment she has brought upon the world (Revelation 17:1-4; 18:3, 6). This will follow her forsaking by the Black Nobility (Revelation 17:16-18) and her erstwhile companions, the non-Semitic Jews who will side with Judaeo-Communist Russia to blast both the Vatican and the United States from the face of the earth (Revelation 18:8-20). Thereafter Armageddon will break out and destroy all life on earth. Clearly, Daniel’s Seventieth Week will be one full week of seven prophetic years to be completed after the end of the Gentile dispensation, and not, as many who take the “letter” of Brother Branham’s Message without reference to Scripture to ensure their understanding is by the same “Spirit” that inspired the Prophet.

Daniel's Seventy Weeks

Jesus now turns to the disciples’ third question, Matthew 24:3c: “What will be the sign of the end of the world”? In verse 32 He says: “Now learn a parable of the fig tree [the symbol of Israel]; when its branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves [as it did in 1948], you know that summer [and the harvest of trees] is nigh: so when you observe all I have taught from verse 4 come to pass, know that [the revelation of the feast of Trumpets, the true Atonement, final harvest of elect Israelites, the dawning of the millennium or seventh day of the antitype of the feast of Tabernacles and] My physical return is near, even at the doors. I assure you; all these things will be fulfilled before the generation that sees the state of Israel established expires through old age. Heaven and earth shall change and be renewed, but My Words must be fulfilled. But no one knows that day and hour, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only”.

Jesus could not explain his answer to this question more fully because it was not revealed to Him prior to His ascension, for this was the seventh unwritten Seal of Revelation 8:1, which was sealed from the foundation of the world to the time of the end (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:6). The mystery of the unwritten Seventh Seal is the revelation of the previous six written Seals; it was the mysteries of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10 which were revealed “in the days of the voice of the angel to the Seventh Church Age,” William Marrion Branham (1909-1965; Revelation 10:7).

For the benefit of this last generation Jesus spoke in parables describing the world condition in the time of His ‘parousia’ Coming under the Seventh Seal which commenced in 1963 after all Seven Church Ages were fulfilled. He prophesied:

  • Verses 38-41: World conditions of the days of Noah would repeat with great achievements in science, engineering and construction, but earth would be filled with corruption, violence, “free love,” and a repetition of the original sin, miscegenation between the descendants of Adam and Cain’s race which sinful politicians and churchmen encourage and applaud under the euphemism “multiculturalism”.

  • Although the Lord had sealed Noah into the promise of his Message, he preached for seven days to the unbelievers without until the rain came and destroyed them. And although the Church has been redeemed since Laodicea ended in 1963, His end-time Bride has preached for forty-nine years to unbelievers without who imagine themselves within.

  • Verses 42-45: The Lord has “come as a thief” under the Sixth Vial before the pouring out of the Seventh Vial (I Thessalonians 5:1-4; Revelation 16:15).

  • Verses 42-51: Jesus admonishes us, “Watch and be ready . . . [feeding your soul on] meat in due season” which is the only way you can recognize your day and its Message. God is only writing epistles of the present truth—what Jesus is doing now so we must “walk in the Light He is shining for this our day,” one cannot be born-again by the Light of Luther, Wesley, or any part of the Body that is already made up (II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7).

  • Matthew 25:1-13: The “Midnight cry” was the Message of God’s Prophet; it is the “Shout” of I Thessalonians 4:16 calling the wise and foolish virgin out from every existing church into the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation (Revelation 18:4; Ephesians 4:13; I Corinthians 15:46-57).

  • Verses 14-30: The Lord has entrusted us each with a measure of faith, which we must exercise and invest that it may serve “for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:12-13). Those who do not apply faith to their lives will be cast into the tribulation.

  • Verses 31-46: The non-elect, just and unjust, will be raised after the Millennium and judged. The foolish virgin, Fifth Seal Israelites, those who died before the age of accountability, those who have been good and kind to the Bride, and those who preferred martyrdom to the mark of the beast will be granted into eternal Life. All whose names have been removed from the Book of Life, or like Cain, were ever in the Book, will be cast into the lake of Fire, which is the second death.

  • In Luke 17:28 the Lord promised a repetition of the besetting sin of the days of Lot in the days of the second or ‘parousia’ Coming of the Son of man. Homosexuality is rampant and condoned by authorities.

  • Verse 29: The consummation of life will be by fire this time, as it was in the days of Lot.

  • Verse 30: In the days of Lot God veiled Himself behind the flesh of a created man and revealed Himself as the Logos by discerning the thoughts and intents of Abraham and Sarah’s hearts (Genesis 18; Hebrews 4:12); the same sign identified Him veiled behind virgin-born flesh, and revealed “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever” veiled behind William Branham, a sinner saved by grace.

  • In the days of Lot two created men went into Sodom to deliver a Message of salvation, but the Angel of the Lord with the Messianic sign remained with Abraham’s elect group, separated from sin. Today, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts have preached to the churches in Sodom, whereas Brother Branham with the Messianic sign remained with Abraham’s elect and called out little group separated from sin and worldliness.

  • Verses 30-34: “When the Son of Man is revealed to you, if you are on the housetop and your stuff in the house, do not come down to take it away: and if you are in the field, likewise do not return back. Remember Lot’s wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. In that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. And they answered and said, Where to, Lord? And He said, Wherever the Body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”

    This speaks of the Seventh Seal which will not be known to the public, for the ‘rapture’ is a revelation that has been in process since 1963; the Body spoken of is Christ the Word, which is where God’s elect ‘eagles’ gather once they receive the revelation (Revelation 18:4). nl712.htm

Born not of Flesh, but of the Spirit

November 14, 2011

 

Bible Believers’ Newsletter 711

“We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . .”
ISSN 1442-8660

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are pleased you could join us in fellowship around God’s unchanging Word.

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” Our Brother Morris Richard Ungren was born in Wymore, Nebraska on August 11, 1919 and passed from this life on November 3, 2011, aged 92, still pastoring Grace Church in Southaven, Missouri, after 43 years, having been ordained to the ministry in 1941. His wife, Sister Vivian Marie Ungren, passed away in 2010 after a long illness and he is survived by their daughter, Sonja Eccles, a grandson Patrick Eccles, Jr., three great-grandchildren, and two sisters, Helen Ungren Downing, Vera Ungren Myers.

A talented singer, while studying at New York University he sang on several Christian radio stations and declined a Broadway contract to spend his life in service to the Lord. Before Brother Branham revealed the First Seal Brother Ungren sang “Down from His Glory.” At other times he sang “How Great Thou Art,” also a favourite with Brother Branham. I heard him sing at a meeting in Columbus, Ohio in 1982/3, and before a convention in Queensland, Australia in about 1985. We kept in touch by ‘phone and correspondence.

Our talented Brother was a poet, scholar, prolific writer and author of Christian books that have been translated into many languages. He has ministered in Zimbabwe, South Africa, and other countries.

Although He is not very far from any of us, our Brother is beyond the curtain of time in another dimension hidden from our eyes by the veil of flesh. I praise the Lord for the friendship and fellowship of Brother Morris, a faithful Brother, colleague and friend. Along with the Brethren who knew and loved him I look forward to our reunion following the last Trump when the dead are raised incorruptible and we are changed in the atoms.

Please continue faithful in prayer for our Brother Youcef Nadarkhani who remains imprisoned in Iran, pending a decision next month from the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Sayed ‘Ali Khamenei.

This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony Grigor-Scott

 


Black Budget and Leveraged Buyout of World using Stolen Money

November 11, 2011 — Catherine Austin Fitts said we are witnessing a Leveraged Buyout of the world that will permanently end democracy. The elite has bought all the politicians and the media. They have stolen enough money to earn two trillion dollars a year from their investments. . . sufficient to fund a world government.

Wall Street and the City of London have been given more money in Bailouts than the total amount of money the United States spent on all of its wars. Wall Street was also allowed to steal four trillion dollars from federal spending that we are not allowed to audit. When she was Housing Commissioner in the first Bush administration, she once saw on one city block ten government guaranteed loans on buildings that never existed.

Separately from that Jim Willie has said when the Federal Reserve sells Treasury Bonds, they sell more than the deficit. This fraud has added trillions more to the LBO Buyout fund. As I have said previously, the banks are allowed to launder a trillion dollars a year in drugs, 400 billion dollars a year in illegal weapons and 500 billion dollars in political bribes.

Catherine has written and spoken often of mortgage fraud. The bankers were allowed to sell each mortgage ten times. The Federal Reserve has been busy buying fraudulent mortgage backed securities to keep the bankers out of jail. . .

Carbon (Currency) Tax passes Senate

November 8, 2011 — Senator Barnaby Joyce insists: “This is a broad based consumption tax, an attack on every household via every power point in their house. It does nothing to change the temperature of the globe but opens every household up to its complete avenue via the powerlines to the Australian Taxation Office.”

“At the Australian Taxation Office they will get that money, they will churn it, they will burn it, they will blow it up but they will not change the temperature of the globe”. Full story: alor.org Please read all of the articles and their links for a comprehensive understanding of Lucifer’s planned subterfuge on humanity.

Comment: What the good Senator did not say is that the idea of a Carbon (Currency) Tax has a long pedigree. Smart Meters need to be studied alongside Carbon (Currency) Tax. Read this article thoroughly and you will appreciate the depth of long-term planning by those manipulating Satan’s dupes, your elected representatives, the leaders of industry, educators, and ministers of religion, mums, dads and children worldwide. You will discover some of the hidden objectives behind historical events, technological developments, and the outcomes of social and political decisions, all working towards Lucifer’s totalitarian one world government . . . funded by your tax dollars.

The objective of the global cooling/global warming/climate change/sustainable development hoax and scam will be unveiled. Henry Kissinger said, “Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.” The world is returning to serfdom. The one escape is through the message of God’s prophet, William Branham. When the earthquakes sink Los Angeles and cleave the Mount of Olives at the close of the Gentile dispensation, igniting the ‘hot stage’ of the present World War III, Satan will be cast down to Earth. Incarnate in the pope he will call a federation of leaders of the world’s religions, whose ambassadors are even now ensconced in the Vatican, and restore peace. A deceived world will acclaim him president of one world government, sealing its fate and fulfilling Isaiah 14:12-14, II Thessalonians 2:3-12, Revelation 13:3-8 and 17:11-18.


1913: Federal Reserve, IRS, FBI, ADL of B’nai B’rith

September 30, 2009 — Louis Farrakhan goes over the origins of the Federal Reserve, speaks of the international bankers responsible, and the emergence of World War I’s manifest destiny Full story: Louis Farrakhan America.

Comment: It has been Six thousand years in the making; finally all things are ready for Lucifer’s totalitarian one world government. Truth vs. Deception:

1. The IRS is not a US government agency; it is an agency of the IMF (International Monetary Fund; Diversified Metal Products v IRS et al. CV-93-405E-EJE USDCDI, Public Law 94-564, Senate report 94-1148 pg. 5967, Plan No. 26, Public Law 102-391).

2. The IMF (International Monetary Fund) is an agency of the UN (Black’s Law Dictionary 6th Ed. page 816).

3. The United States has NOT had a Treasury since 1921 (41 Stat. Ch 214 page 654).

4. The US Treasury is now the Intl. Monetary Fund (Presidential Documents Vol. 24-No. 4 page 113, 22 USC 285-2887).

5. The United States does not have any employees because there is no longer a United States! No more reorganizations. After over 200 years of bankruptcy it is finally over (Executive Order 12803).

6. The FCC, CIA, FBI, NASA, and all of the other alphabet agencies were never part of the US government. Even though the “US Government” held stock in the agencies (US v Strang, 254 US491 Lewis v. US, 680 F.2nd, 1239).

7. Social Security Numbers are issued by the UN through the IMF (International Monetary Fund). The application for a Social Security number is the SS5 Form. The Department of the Treasury (IMF) issues the SS5 forms not the Social Security Administration.

US to Announce ‘Permanent Military Presence’ in Australia

November 10, 2011 — The Obama Administration didn’t get the permanent military presence it sought in Iraq, but they are reportedly on the brink of announcing a new permanent deployment in a rather surprising place—Australia.

Opposition figures within the Australia government say that the announcement will be made next week during President Obama’s visit to Australia, and that the US will begin deploying Marines to the nation’s Darwin military base.

The “why” of the sudden (but permanent) deployment is unclear, but some media outlets cited unnamed officials saying it had something to do with “heightened concern about China.”

Which is of course the default reason for any and all US military actions in the South Pacific, but makes even less sense in this case, since there is no conceivable reason to expect that Australia is about to be overrun by Red Chinese, or that if this were somehow the case the deployment of US Marines would make the US seem more committed to that incredibly improbable war.

Comment: Australia, you have sold your birthright. The (once) Protestant United States is the image unto the beast of Imperial Rome (Revelation 13:11-18).

Born not of Flesh, but of the Spirit

Question: The Book of Deuteronomy is highly regarded by denominational ministers and believers because it speaks of the “chosen” like in Deuteronomy 7:6-8: “You are a holy people unto the Lord your God: the Lord your God has chosen you to be a special people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. The Lord did not set His love upon you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all people: but because the Lord loved you, and because He would keep the oath He had sworn to your fathers He has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt”.

Jews are chosen. Can you clarify this for me, as I cannot understand why God would make those who butchered Him “chosen,” He knew this; “chosen” is what I am hung up on.

Answer: Acts 10:34-45, “Peter said, Truly I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he who fears Him, and does what is right is acceptable to Him. He sent this Message to the Israelites, when through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all) He made the Good News of peace known to them. That Word was proclaimed throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the Devil, for God was with Him. And we are witnesses of all that He did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They murdered Him by hanging on a tree; but God raised Him up on the third day, and made Him manifest; not to all the people, but to us who were chosen before [the foundation of the world] by God as witnesses, who ate and drink with Him after His resurrection from the dead. And He ordered us to preach to the people, and to bear solemn testify that He is the one ordained by God to be Judge of the living and dead. To Him all the prophets bear witness, that all who believe in Him receive remission of sins through His Name. While Peter spoke these Words, the Holy Ghost fell on all who hearkened to the Word. And the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were amazed, that the baptism with the Holy Ghost or new birth was poured out on the Gentiles also”.

God is not a partial judge but placed Adam and every soul in Adam’s race on free moral agency to fulfill or refuse His will, which is His revealed Word, with the certainty of reward or punishment. Being omniscient He knew from the foundation of the world those whose lives would manifest His Word before all men, showing they are eternal Attributes of the Logos (II Corinthians 3:2). These are His elect written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. They constitute the Old Testament saints from Adam to Calvary, of whom less than fifty percent could have been Semitic, and before Reuben none was an Israelite. The New Testament saints are Christ’s predominantly Gentile Bride, and 144,000 elect Israelites who will be born-again in the second half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week, and then martyred. Of these “chosen people” Christ’s Bride is His Queen, while the Old Testament saints and the 144,000 Israelites are our servants.

Israel became a nation when they were separated from Egypt by God through Moses. “The Word of God has not failed, but through their exercise of free moral agency not all of the descendants of Israel belong to Israel [as heirs of God's promises to the fathers through faith, and although "many are called, few are chosen"] they are not all Abraham’s [Spiritual] children because they are his [natural] seed, but “Through Isaac shall your seed be named after you.” This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God: but the children of [faith in] the promise are reckoned as his [Spiritual] descendants [and heirs of God's promises to "the fathers"].” Thus through the injudicious exercise of his free moral agency unbelieving Esau and his descendants were excluded from the natural “blessing of Abraham”.

Despite their genealogy, Israel’s sons who declined God’s “call” to join the Exodus did not belong Israel and had no part in His promises to the fathers, proving they were not God’s “chosen.” God’s promise to Abraham was purely of grace through faith without condition; like your healing, it was theirs for the taking. But Moses’ followers continually murmured against God, who honoured His Token to Moses, “When you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this Mount Sinai” (Exodus 3:12), but changed His covenant with Israel from unconditional grace to the conditional “curse of the Law of sin and death,” bringing every Israelite under condemnation because no man can meet its strict requirement (Romans 8:2; Galatians 3:13; James 2:10).

Israel affirmed the terms of this new covenant in the blood of a lamb, signifying the Blood of Jesus Messiah their promised Kinsman Redeemer. But before Moses could return with the stone tablets of Law engraved by the hand of God they had broken their covenant and were naked and worshipping a golden calf, whereupon God invoked the dreadful penalty of the Law: the guilty were blotted from the Book of Life and three thousand men were slain (Exodus 32). These Israelites of the flesh were not God’s “chosen people”.

Israel journeyed to Kadesh whence Moses sent one man from each of the twelve tribes to spy out the land of Canaan, promised to them without condition, so that no man should perish in the campaign. They all confirmed Canaan was “a land flowing with milk and honey” as the Lord had said, but ten spies rejected His promise that by grace through faith they would conquer its inhabitants and unbelieving Israel declared, “Let us elect a captain to lead us back to Egypt. . . And the Lord said . . . as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. Because all those men who have seen My glory, and My miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, have tempted Me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice; they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who provoked Me see it” (Numbers 13 – 14). And God marched Israel around in the wilderness for forty years until every adult perished except faithful Joshua and Caleb. Not counting the Levites or the womenfolk, the number of males twenty years and over exceeded 603,550 LOST souls, say 1.5 million Israelites who were not “chosen” (Numbers 1; Psalm 95:10-11; John 6:49).

God’s “chosen people” are born not of the Flesh, but of the Spirit. Christ’s end-time Bride has seen God’s glory and the miracles which He performed through Brother Branham’s ministry, and continues to perform in the wilderness today. The Lord desires our obedience through faith rather than our sacrifice in the great tribulation.

Galatians 3:26-29, “All [in Adam's race] are the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. ["But without faith it is impossible to please Him" (Hebrews 11:6)]. As many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. For in Christ Jesus you are all one: there is neither Judahite nor Gentile, bond nor free, male nor female. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise“.

Romans 8:11-14, “If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then He who raised Jesus Messiah from the dead will give Life to your mortal bodies also through His Spirit that dwells in you. So then, brethren, we are obligated, but not to the sinful nature of the flesh, to live after the flesh—for if you live according to the flesh you will die: but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, then you will live. For all [in Adam's race] who are led by the Spirit of God, are the sons of God”.

John 1:10 informs us, “Messiah came to His own, and His own received Him not.” Of the Israelites complicit in His murder Psalm 69:27-28 prophesied, “Add iniquity to their iniquity (Matthew 27:25; John 11:49-52): and let them not come into Your righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life, and not be written with the righteous.” The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob blinded the nation of Israel “until the Gentile dispensation is fulfilled” (Romans 11:25; Isaiah 29:10; Daniel 9:27). Here we have untold millions of Israelites who, through their obstinate and unswerving sinfulness, are NOT God’s “chosen people”.

In Deuteronomy 7:8 Moses explained to the children of Israel: “God choose you . . . in order to keep the oath He had sworn to your fathers.” [For] “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should change His mind. When He gives His Word, does He not perform it? Or does He promise and not fulfill it” (Numbers 23:19)?

So God’s Word demands a total separation from unbelief. He commanded Abram: “Get out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you: and I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing: and I will bless those who bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families [in Adam's race] be blessed” (Genesis 12:1-3). Abraham’s blessing was unconditional so long as he took God at His Word.

In Genesis 15:4-8, “The Word of the Lord came to Abram, saying, Your steward Eliezer shall not be your heir; your own son shall be your heir. And He brought him outside, and said, Look toward heaven and number the stars, if you are able to number them. Then He said to him, So shall your seed be. And Abram believed the Lord; and He reckoned it to him for righteousness”.

In Deuteronomy 1:8 Moses told the Israelites, “Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them and to their seed after them.”

In the natural, God’s promise was strictly to the bloodline of Abraham, to Isaac, through Isaac to Jacob, through Jacob/Israel to the Patriarchs, and through the patriarchs to their kin. There was some intermarriage with Gentile women of Adam’s race, as for instance Moses’ Ethiopian second wife, Joseph’s Egyptian wife, and Boaz’ marriage to Ruth, the Moabitess, but under the Old Covenant the birthright remained strictly in this bloodline.

In his question our Brother said, “Jews are “chosen.” Can you clarify this for me? I cannot understand why God would make those who butchered Him “chosen,” He knew this; “chosen” is what I am hung up on”.

Had the Israelites exhibited the faith of Abraham God would never have placed them under the curse of the Law; not one would have perished in the wilderness, and they would have conquered and settled Canaan forty years earlier than they did without casualties. Furthermore, they would have utterly slain or expelled the physical Serpent’s seed, whereas many intermarried.

The short answer to our Brother’s question is that prior to the late seventeenth century the word J_E_W was in no Bible, and this modern word contradicts the meaning of the two words it has replaced. According to both Testaments, Jewish historians and the eminent scholars who compiled their encyclopedias, well over ninety percent of so-called Jews are non-Semitic and outside God’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Israel. Neither do they share the faith of Moses and the prophets, for Judaism is Pharisaism and the antithesis of Yahwism (Matthew 15:9). Almost to a man, Jews are impersonators of Israel and not God’s “chosen people” for blessing. Their leaders know this.

When asked, “Who is Israel? — Who is a Jew?” the Israeli Government’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) answered thus: “The term Israelite is purely Biblical. An Israeli is a citizen of Israel, regardless of religion. A Jew is a person anywhere in the world born to a Jewish mother, or converted to Judaism, who is thus identified as a member of the Jewish people and religion.” Notice here that the Jews themselves clearly imply that the term “Israelite” and “Jew” are separate and distinct and Jews have no relation whatsoever with the Biblical Shemitic bloodline. In fact, under the heading “A Brief History of the Terms for Jew,” in the 1980 Jewish Almanac, is the following incredible admission: “Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an Ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew” (1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3).

Today, to trace anyone’s descent to ancient Palestine would be a genealogical impossibility. The Jewish racial myth flows from the fact that the words ‘Hebrew,’ ‘Israelite,’ ‘Jew,’ ‘Judaism,’ and the ‘Jewish people’ have been used synonymously to suggest a historic continuity, but this is a gross misuse. The descriptive name Judaism was never heard by the Hebrews or Israelites; it appears only within modern Christianity. The English abbreviation, ‘Jew,’ is recent and does not correspond to anything denoted by the Aramaic, Greek or Roman terms for ‘Judahite’ or ‘Judean,’ which were in use during the lifetime of Jesus. In fact, according to Reporting Guidelines for the Australian Press Council, General Press Release No. 49 (issued June 1982) with reference to the word “Race” as applied to Jews, “The Press Council wishes to alert editors to a common mistake: There is no “Jewish race.” Judaism is not a race but a religion. There are Caucasian Jews, Mongolian Jews, Oriental Jews, Semitic Jews, and so on—terms defining both racial origin and religion. The Council asks all editors and sub-editors to watch for this error . . .”

During Christ’s lifetime, no persons were described as “Jews” anywhere. This very important FACT is supported by sound theology, suppressed historical truth and science. When Jesus was in Judea, it was not the “homeland” of the ancestors of those who today style themselves as “Jews.” Their ancestors never set-foot anywhere near Judea. They existed at that time in Asia, their true “homeland”, and were known as Chazars or Turkish Mongols. Banned author Douglas Reed, in his superbly researched classic, “Controversy of Zion,” writes: “No authority, Judaist or other, would support the claim to blood decent from Judah for the so-called Jews of today.” In fact, the Palestinians would have more claim to the racial description, ‘Semite’, than any within modern Jewry who are of Eastern-European stock and trace their lineage back to the ancient Asiatic kingdom of the Chazar.

“Here’s a paradox, a paradox, a most ingenious paradox: and anthropological fact, many Christians may have much more Hebrew-Israelite blood in their veins than most of their Jewish neighbors” (Alfred M. Lilienthal: “What Price Israel”).

God further explains His promise in Genesis 17:1-5, “The Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am the Almighty God; walk before Me, and be perfect. [This is a promise and declaration of God's unconditional grace, not a demand for good works but the assurance that if Abram lives in His Presence He will be blameless (Ezekiel 36:27; Hebrews 9:14; I Peter 1:13-16; I John 1:7)]. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations [Gentiles]. Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations [Gentiles] have I made you”.

Genesis 22:18, “And in your Seed [singular] shall all the nations of the Earth be blessed; because you have obeyed My voice.”

All the nations of the Earth” are not Israelites, and although self-styled non-Semitic, anti-Semitic Jews overrule them, they are not Jewish either! “All nations” are not blessed by Jewish seed; on the contrary, God has set enmity between them and Adam’s race (Genesis 3:15); neither are “All nations” blessed by Israelites who “for fear of the Jews” live in exile among the Islamic peoples.

finished Body of ChristGod’s “chosen people” are the elect of Adam’s race. In every dispensation God’s elect were those who fulfilled the Word for their day (II Peter 1:12). From God’s promise to Abram to Calvary, the present Truth” was revealed through God’s prophets to Israel, so that only Israelites and proselytes with the Word for their hour could become God’s “chosen people.” Likewise in the Gentile dispensation, only those who were “walking in the Light AS Jesus is manifesting it” through the “angel” to their day could be born-again and become God’s “chosen people” (I John 1:7; Revelation 1-3).

A life lived by the faith of Martin Luther’s Message gave new birth to the elect of the Sardis Church Age (1520 – 1750), but justification by grace through faith would only render one a foolish virgin in the Philadelphian Church Age (1750 – 1906), for God added the revelation of sanctification or Scriptural holiness through the Message of John Wesley. The Body was building ‘Word upon Word, line upon line, precept upon precept; here a little, and there a little” in the Reformation of the Judaeo-Roman Catholic system of false worship. Then in the Laodicean Church Age (1906 – 1963) the Lord restored the revelation “Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, and today, and forever”; the gifts of the Spirit became active once more, and Wesley’s Message added to Luther’s Message was no longer sufficient to quicken the elect to new birth without this further measure of the Spirit.

The Laodicean Age ended in 1963 and the revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to Earth in Word form through the mouth of His prophet, William Branham (I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 10:1-7). All Seven Church Ages were over and God’s “chosen people” entered the holy convocation of the fiftieth day of the antitype of Israel’s Pentecostal Feast with the Token of the Life of Christ on display by the fullness of the Spirit on the fullness of the Word bringing us to maturity for the manifestation of the sons of God and the translation (Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 15:49-56).



Noah’s Wife Naamah


Question: I have tried to find the historical record that identifies Naamah as Noah’s second wife and states that she was not the mother of his three sons.

Answer: Many, mainly Jewish books name Naamah as Noah’s wife but without explanation. The historical record is found in Genesis 5:22.

Some Brethren have said, since Noah was righteous, he could not possibly have married a Serpent’s seed. Brother Branham said, “Here comes the seed of the serpent. Now, remember, there’ll be enmity, war between them. . . Everything was destroyed: got in such a conglomeration of sin. And they took the rule, and smartest and intelligent, till God looked down, there wasn’t very many left, so He just took Noah and his family in the ark and rained the water down, and destroyed the whole thing: took Enoch up beforehand. Is that right? There was all the seed, almost all the seed. But He has a PURPOSE to be fulfilled” (Serpent’s Seed, 26:196).

The seed of the woman had to be smitten on Calvary, and in rising again, “crush the Serpent’s head, [Satan]” (Genesis 3:15; Ephesians 1:19-23). God’s purpose is threefold:

  1. To express the fullness of His nature and character in the virgin-born Jesus Messiah that He may perform the duty of Kinsman Redeemer for the elect of Adam’s race (Colossians 2:9).
    So the physical seed of the Serpent has to be with us today, and he is the cause of all of the wars and poverty, working Satanic cunning to defeat and destroy the kingdom of God by his “enmity” against the children of the first and of the last Adam (Genesis 3:15).

  2. That by means of the new birth He might have preeminence in Christ’s Bride, the true Church who become written epistles of the Word for their hour, known and read by all who recognize that they had been with Jesus, and what they say in the manifestation of the Sons of God, God will perform, because they have the mind of Christ (Acts 4:13; I Corinthians 2:16; II Corinthians 3:2; Colossians 1:27).

  3. And to restore the Kingdom and all that was lost through the Fall to its rightful position. (Genesis 3:8).

 

Brother Branham said, “Remember, when Noah come out, Ham [spiritual Serpent's seed] was with him. [So was Naamah, physical Serpent's seed]. Sin was still in there. Sin went right on over through the ark, unbelief, doubt went over in the ark, carried above the judgment; but Enoch went higher than the ark. He went on into the Presence of God, but Noah went through and come out, and there was still sin: type of the millennium, of the world’s condition. . . Then, at the end of the thousand years there will be a judgment, showing that Ham was in the ark. And Ham is still there in the remnant [144,000 elect Israelites and the Foolish Virgin]. Ones that heard it and rejected it have to be judged” (The Future Home of the Heavenly Bridegroom and the Earthly Bride, p. 17:123, 513).

Cain and his children, including Canaan and his descendants, were cursed both in their conception and their lineage. “Twice dead, plucked up by the roots” (Jude 11-12).

Brother Branham continued, “Noah and his sons which come out, Ham, Shem, and Japheth, come out in the righteous line.”

“How did the seed ever get over? The seed come over in the ark, just like it did in the beginning through the woman, their wives. They carried the seed of Satan through the ark just as Eve packed the seed of Satan to give birth to Cain, through the woman [physical Serpent's seed]. You put them women in your platforms for preachers, the Bible condemning it [spiritual Serpent's seed]. Paul said, “If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or even spiritual, let him acknowledge that what I write is the commandments of the Lord; but if he be ignorant, just let him be ignorant” (Serpent’s Seed, p. 27:197-199).

It was “their wives” (PLURAL) as Brother Branham said. Naamah (meaning ‘lovely’) was physical Serpent’s seed, and Mrs. Ham was spiritual Serpent’s seed. So we see not “all” of the physical Serpent’s seed was destroyed, at least one, and in fact only one was in the ark.

Brother Branham said, “Now let this be known: Scripture does not play with words. Whatever is in the Record is there for the anointed eyes to see. It is there for a purpose. In that Word it says, Genesis 3:20, “And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.” But no Scripture ever says that Adam is the father of all living. If there is not this connotation to be placed upon Genesis 3:20, why would it be mentioned that Eve is the mother of all, and no word said about Adam? The fact is that though Eve was “the mother of all living,” Adam was not the father of all living”  (Church Ages, p. 105:2).

In the Old Testament the birthright followed the male line thus females seldom are listed in the genealogies. The New Testament names Jesus’ four brothers—James, Joses (Joseph), Simeon and Judas, however the names of his sisters, of whom there were at least two, are not mentioned. The only women mentioned in Scripture from the time of Adam until the days of Noah are Eve and one of her daughters, the unnamed wife of Cain, “Cain knew his [own] wife” (Genesis 4:17, 19-22). Then in the days of Noah, Lamech’s “two wives . . . Adah and Zillah . . . [and] the sister of Tubalcain, Naamah.” Then in Genesis 5:4, “The days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters.” Anointed eyes will note the last named in Cain’s direct bloodline is the Serpent seed Tubalcain’s sister Naamah, a “daughter of man”; the last “daughter of man” in the direct descent of firstborns from Cain’s hybrid line.

In Genesis 6:1-4 we read, “It came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair [and were captivated by their sensual beauty]; and they took them wives PARTNERS of all which they chose [free love through lust as it is today—men and women co-habiting with whoever takes their fancy, as Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24:37]. And the Lord said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”

“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after the FLOOD, when the sons of God [Adam's offspring] came in unto the daughters of men [Cain's offspring], who bore them [children], these [became] mighty men that were of old, [famous or infamous] men of renown” [i.e. not necessarily all physical giants—but men of prominence who took glory to themselves. The descriptor is 'chutzpah']!

Since only eight (8) souls were saved by water, one (1) of them had to be physical Serpent’s seed.

Genesis 6 tells us that one was not Noah or his three sons. Neither was it the mother of those three boys, nor was it their wives or all of the descendents of Shem, Ham and Japheth would be irredeemable. That leaves one person, and by the mathematical process of elimination 8-7=1, it could only be Noah’s wife. By the same process we deduce the wife Noah took with him in the ark was NOT the mother of his three sons, and whoever she was, she was physical Serpent’s seed, otherwise Genesis 6:4, Matthew 23:33-35, and 24:37 cannot be relied upon as the inspired Word of God.

Since Brother Branham’s ministry restored the apostolic and finished the mystery of God, Christ’s end-time Bride is ordained and required to know the identity of this woman for it was revealed in the Seven Thunders of (Revelation 10:1-7). In his seminal pre-Seals Message, “Sirs, is this the Time, Brother Branham listed some of the previously hidden mysteries that were to be revealed in the Seven Thunders. One was “The Serpent’s seed, that has been a hidden all through the years” (p. 31:12).

“There’ll just be a few understand it. “As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man.” What was saved? Five souls. . . There will be very few . . . translated in that time [because "very few" in the circle of this Message are in the faith]” (p. 35:3).

Noah, Mr. and Mrs. Shem, and Mr. and Mrs. Japheth: only five. Mrs. Noah was saved physically by water but LOST since she was physical Serpent’s seed, not in the Book of Life and without a KINSMAN Redeemer. Jesus Christ is no more KIN to Cain and his race than Israel’s bulls and goats were kin to man, hence they could not redeem the worshipper. Mr. and Mrs. Ham were spiritual Serpent’s seed believing a hybrid religion, so that their names were removed from the Book of Life and they were LOST. This did NOT affect their descendants in Adam’s race who are all born with their names in the Book of Life and free to receive the Word of the hour when it is presented, or reject it and have their names blotted from the record of life.

Since the mystery of God is finished we are not to guess but identify this woman in His unchanging Word. There the Lord provides only one candidate who is obviously Naamah. But this is a revelation like discerning the apparent contradiction between Matthew 28:18 and Acts 2:38-39, so few will understand it.

Jesus Messiah was the last Adam. He was not the last Cain who was a mamser, a hybrid like the mule, and not in Adam’s race, the Book of Life. Cain was not even in God’s creation, and since he was not an attribute of the Logos, he and his descendants through Canaan like the Edomites, Hittites and Canaanites are without a redeemer. But as they can trace their lineage to Adam’s adulterous wife, Eve. . . and to Naamah, they pretend that the genealogy follows the mother, and work under another name, and in a different occupation.

Thinking persons see this deception as not only contrary to the genealogies of the Bible, but a biological impossibility. The offspring of miscegenation between these two races is always in Cain’s line and genocide to Adam’s race. Miscegenation between the sons of Adam and the pretty Serpent’s seed daughters of Cain so grieved God, He destroyed all life on earth (Genesis 6:1-4).Jesus prophesied this sin would repeat in these last days (Matthew 24:37) and the sinful United Nations Organization established by the children of Cain mandate the wickedness of “multiculturalism” contrary to God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, replicating and compounding the original sin which is genocide to Adam’s race (Genesis 1:11; Amos 3:3).

Amos 3:3: “Two cannot walk unless they agree in God’s Word.” Yet these sons of Cain entice nominal Christians to be unequally yoked together with diverse religions in their World Council of Churches, so-called ‘interfaith’ conventions, and the Parliament of World Religions, repeating the sins of Balaam who could only prophesy what God put in his mouth, but for gold and popularity, he substituted false teaching and enticed Israel into natural fornication with their denominational cousin Moab. God never forgave that sin, which is a shadow and type of this time of union in spiritual fornication against God’s unchanging Word (Numbers 25; Revelation 2:14).

Because Ham was the progenitor of Naamah’s illegitimate son Canaan, Cain’s race is extant and his enmity burns (Genesis 9:18-28; 3:15). His descendants assert: “We must be in a position to respond to every act of opposition by war with the neighbors of that country which dares to oppose us: but if these neighbors should also venture to stand collectively together against us, then we must offer resistance by a universal war. The principal factor of success in the political is the secrecy of its undertakings: the word should not agree with the deeds of the diplomat” (Protocol VII:3-4).

A great deal of confusion within the circle of this Message is caused by ministers repeating verbatim what the Prophet said instead of obeying him and taking His words back to the Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, and saying what He meant. We must share the faith and eternal Life rather than the letter without the Spirit, which brings death. Some insist there is no physical Serpent’s seed this side of the Flood, but the Bible and the Prophet emphatically state otherwise. They protest, “The seed of life comes from the male, a Serpent’s seed woman could not bear Serpent’s seed children to a son of Noah.” They did so before the Flood and they do so today (Genesis 1:11; 6:1-4; 9:18-27; 10:15-18)? Ham was in the righteous lineage yet his son Canaan was physical Serpent’s seed and accursed of God. Like Cain, he is a wanderer, a citizen of the world, with no inheritance in this life or hope in the world to come. They all have a soul because their first mother Eve had a soul (Genesis 1:11), therefore they are human beings, and although their soul came from God it is not of God. Brother Branham said, “It wasn’t recognized in the genealogies of God’s [the Lamb's Book of Life], or neither the genealogies of the human race, the genealogies of Adam [the Book of Life], any of the rest of them” (C.O.D., p. 1136.330).

Others say it was not God’s original plan that humans should reproduce by intercourse between a man and his wife. Yet before the Fall God said, “A man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). Jesus said, “In the beginning and before the Fall, God made them male and female. Because of this a man shall leave father and mother (so before the Fall God ordained a holy sexual relationship between a naked and unashamed man and his wife to transform them into the father and mother who gave birth to the “man and his wife”) and he shall cleave to his wife: and the two shall be one flesh! Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder” (Matthew 19:4-6). A man and his wife become one first in mind, then “one flesh” in their offspring through the act of “cleaving . . . for they are no more two, but one flesh whose seed is in itself, and joined together by God,” reproducing fruit after their own kind (Genesis 1:11; I Corinthians 6:16-17).

We have already spoken of Spiritual Serpent’s seed, which is the seed of discrepancy or false doctrine, “the lie” of John 8:40-44 and II Thessalonians 2:7-12, and “the mystery of iniquity” of I John 2:21-24. We explained that conversion to Judaism by Halacha, or Talmudic law cannot change one’s race otherwise Jews might become Semitic as they falsely claim, rather than non-Semitic as the Bible and all Jewish Encyclopedias affirm. Ministers in the circle of this Message invent equally egregious claims, asserting “the genes of the Serpent were carried over into the entire human race.” If this be so, Jesus Christ has to be Serpent’s seed in order to redeem the offspring of Shem, Ham, Japheth and Canaan; Cain and his antediluvian offspring would be His kinsmen, but Adam and the Old Testament saints would be lost. Such carnal reasoning against the faith is a classic illustration of spiritual Serpent’s seed.

Some men teaching the heretical Two Souls replacement theology claim the soul is Serpent’s seed and must be replaced. The seed of the serpent is not a soul, neither souls nor mortal spirit come through sexual reproduction. A still-born child has a body through the relationship between father and mother but no mortal spirit or soul. Hence it was never a human being and is not in the Book of Life. Souls and mortal spirits come from God, not from Satan who is not a creator; and not from father’s sperm or mother’s ovum, otherwise we are believing Charles Darwin’s evolution of species which postulates the spirit of mortal life and human souls somehow evolve from the physical elements and minerals that form the planet. All souls and mortal spirits come from God, but not all souls and spirits are of God. The soul of the physical Serpent’s seed is a spirit like the soul of Jesus Christ or the saintliest of us except that it is not associated with the Book of Adam’s natural life or Book of God’s Spiritual Life. With no tiepost to God’s creative Word in either the first or the last Adam, it has no part in eternity. The souls of the spiritual Serpent’s seed being “without fruit” are blotted from the Book of natural Life, “twice dead, plucked up by the roots . . . to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever”.

All the souls in Adam’s race are potentially redeemable because they are the continuation of God’s creation in Adam, the Book of Life. The souls foreknown as elect of God are all redeemed because they are the continuation of the last Adam, “the beginning of the creation of God,” the Lamb’s Book of Life. Whereas the “saved” trace their ancestry to the first Adam in the garden of Eden, the elect trace their ancestry from the Logos through the first Adam in the garden of Eden to the last Adam in the garden of Gethsemane where He overcame. By grace through faith we are Attributes of the Logos and eternal Life and will grant the “saved” into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment.

When Adam crossed from immortality and incorruption into time he forfeited his dominion, making Satan the god of this evil age and bringing the whole creation subject to mortality and corruption. Over millennia the nature of Satan has pervaded the spiritual and natural realms, increasing his influence because spirits do not die. God takes His man, but never His Holy Spirit, and when Satan takes his man, he leaves his spirit. That lost soul is now a demon he can use to tempt, deceive and torment Adam’s children, so the world cannot “become a better place” before Satan is bound for the millennium.

A nature is not a soul or a spirit; neither is it a physical gene or spoken word. A nature is an innate characteristic or propensity. Everything—animal, vegetable or mineral—has a nature. The nature of God is love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, etc., the nature of a dog is to be faithful to its master, the nature of ice is to be cold and damp, the nature of the world reflects the nature of the god of this world: malice, envy, greed, lust, deception, murder, etc., Eve’s vanity caused the Fall because she chose to bear children by Satan’s scientific reasoning, so when Adam redeemed her he bore her sin upon his shoulders and forfeited his dominion to Satan who became god of this evil age. Consequently our body is born with the soul dead in sin and trespasses, oppressed by nature of this world, and must be quickened from Above. Had Eve waited for God to reveal the secret of natural propagation through her prophet husband, there would have been no Fall and no necessity for a second birth from Above. Her firstborn would have been Jesus; all in Adam’s race would have been elect of God, quickened to eternal Life from birth, and Cain and his race would never have existed.

When the spirit of mortal life and the soul enter our body at birth, the body and spirit become conscious of the world and the things of the world. As we grow in understanding and self-confidence we desire to have to satisfy the senses of our flesh—see, touch, taste, hear and smell, and our mortal spirit—memory, affection, conscience, imagination, and reasoning. Meanwhile, because our soul is under submission to the desires of our ten worldly senses, it is dead in sin and trespasses until it is quickened to the Word for our day. Until we are made alive to the present Truth—what Jesus is doing now, our soul, like our mortal spirit and body, is serving the nature of the world, which is the nature of Satan, the god of this evil age. Thus, the first husband of our soul is the worldly nature of Satan.

I John 2:15-16, “Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father [or new birth] is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world with its lusts pass away; but he that does the will of God abides forever”.

That old nature ruling the ten senses of your flesh and mortal spirit, which in turn rule your unregenerate soul, has to die before you can be born-again. That old husband must be dead to you before you can consummate the invisible union with the Word of the hour in a new birth.

First you hear the proposal of marriage. “Come unto Me, all you that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest (sabbath) unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

Quickly you respond to the call, separating to the Word from your fornication with the world and the things of the world. A betrothal is a marriage, so you “Repent, and are baptized for the remission of sins in the Name of your new Husband, LORD JESUS CHRIST, with the promise that if you abide in Him you shall receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is to the Israelites and to their children, and to we Gentiles who are afar off, even to as many as the Lord our God shall ever call, both Israelites and Gentiles”.

Theologians term the betrothal Justification by grace through faith, for you are not simply forgiven your fornication with the world, your past sins are remitted and you are just. It is as though you never did those things, for they are placed in the sea of God’s forgetfulness never to be remembered any more.

You are looking forward to your wedding day with great anticipation. You put away that old husband, and as you become more acquainted with the nature of your Betrothed, you desire to please the Word. Oh, my, I must not cut my hair or wear clothes that pertain to a man. Or, I must cut out those drinks with the boys. This is called Sanctification. It is a process of putting away or divorce, cleansing your mind for holiness and bringing your body subject by obedience to the revealed Word of God. This will be ongoing throughout your life in this world.

Sometimes you will be tempted and even “backslide.” Old habits die hard, but you press on in the strength of the Lord, with your eye focused on the heavenly Promise and not on your earthly circumstances, for the prize is only to the Overcomer!

At last the great day arrives when you enter a clear revelation of the Word for your day. The Bible becomes a new Book. The Pillar of Fire burns out the lusts of that old worldly nature that held your soul captive to the desires of your flesh and mortal spirit for the things of the world, and the Holy Spirit unites with your soul. “What God has joined together, let not man put asunder.” The wedding band of “agape” has sealed you into Christ to the day of your redemption in glorified flesh. You have the mind of Christ and you are one with the Word, bearing His Life, and pregnant with the Token on display. The marriage is consummated by the baptism with the Holy Ghost which is your new birth.

I Peter 1:22-23, “You have purified [not replaced] your soul in obeying the Truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren . . . being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which lives and abides forever”.

Disobedience to the admonitions of Acts 17:11, Romans 3:4, Galatians 1:8-9, I Thessalonians 5:21 and Revelation 22:18-19 has produced many false doctrines as men added quote upon quote of THUS SAITH THE LORD according to the letter of the Message as the denominational churches stand upon THUS SAITH THE LORD according to the letter of Matthew 28:19 in support of their unscriptural Trinity and false water baptism in three Titles. What they have established is that the spoken Word without the Spirit kills as effectively as the written Word without the Spirit.

When you take his Message back to the written Word as Brother Branham instructed, you will be in the same Spirit as the Prophet and receive the same revelation. And because you have obeyed the Prophet and the Bible you will not conflate a soul with a nature or entertain unscriptural doctrines. Then, instead of parroting his words, you will “quietly trust yourself to Christ and be always ready to answer in a gentle and respectful manner anybody who asks the reason of the hope that is within us . . . In meekness instructing those who oppose themselves; in the hope God may grant them repentance that leads to the acknowledgment of the truth; and that they may escape from the snare of the Devil, after being captured by him to do his will”.

Commenting on Josephus’ Antiquities of the Jews (Book I, 13:2), Brother Branham remarked, “Isn’t it strange that they found great giants in the land after this [flood]? I wish Josephus, the writer, would’ve thought of that. Where’d those giants come from? The seed of the Serpent. The Bible said that he would cause the seed of the Serpent . . . the Serpent had a seed, and the seed of the woman. . . But when she did that, she polluted the whole thing” (Condemnation by Representation, p. 14:6).

“It was not the seed of the Devil; it was the seed of the Serpent. And the Serpent had a seed; the Bible said it had a seed. And it still exists today” (William Branham, C.O.D. p. 400:183). nl71.htm

Zechariah Chapter Twelve

October 6, 2011

Bible Believers’ Newsletter 707

“We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . .”
ISSN 1442-8660

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a blessing to have your company.

Please study our exposition on Zechariah 12 slowly and carefully, and compare the Scripture references to ensure you receive a clear revelation of the sequence of short-term prophetic events. Although they apply to the tribulation or “time of Jacob’s trouble” a personal understanding of prophecy will ensure you are not deceived and able to stand your ground.

My objective in these studies in Zechariah is to seek a more perfect revelation on certain points so that I can complete our unfinished series “The Whole Creation Groans in Travail.” We have covered Zechariah 12 previously in Newsletters 432 and 617 upon which this week’s more fulsome main article is based.

We have clarified Newsletter 705 on-line. Where we had quoted Revelation 12:15-16, Revelation 12:13-14 is more precise as it speaks of the first half of the Daniel’s Seventieth Week whereas verses 15-16 speak of Revelation 11:7-13 which is after the midst of Daniel’s Seventieth Week when Israel’s two prophets are martyred. After three and a half days they will resurrect during a live global telecast celebrating their demise sparking the revelation of Christ’s parousia Coming and the birth of Israel in one day, all 144,000 elect. In An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages” Brother Branham wrote on page 36:5, “This is the revelation story of Zechariah 12:9-14. . .” Reading through to page 40:1, he expounds on this point and explains that in order to keep the new saints from upsetting her NWO, “at this very time, the antichrist covenant that the Jews have made with Rome will be broken. Rome and her allies then send their troops to destroy all God-fearing, Word-abiding Jews. But as they come against the city to destroy it, there will appear in the heavens the sign of the Coming of the Son of Man with His mighty armies to destroy them who have been destroying the earth. With the enemy repulsed, Jesus then comes and presents Himself to the 144,000 [by revelation]. Having seen His mighty acts of salvation, they have come to know His power.”

This awakening of the 144,000 elect Israelites to Christ’s ‘parousia’ Coming, to the strange sign in the clouds over the Mount of Olives three and a half years previously, will be their new birth. The earthquake of Revelation 11:13 will see “the enemy repulsed” as seven thousand of their troops are swallowed up by the Earth as the Red Sea swallowed Pharaoh’s army in the first delivery. This is Revelation 12:15-16.

This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony Grigor-Scott

 


Al-Qaida calls on Ahmadinejad to end 9/11 Conspiracy Theories

September 28, 2011 — In its English language magazine Al-Qaida has reportedly called on Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to stop citing conspiracy theories that the US was to blame behind 9/11. Al-Qaida has sent a message to the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, asking him to stop spreading conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks.

Iranian media on Wednesday reported quotes from what appears to be an article published in the latest issue of the al-Qaida English language magazine, Inspire, which described Ahmadinejad’s remarks over the 11 September attacks as “ridiculous.” In his UN general assembly speech last week, Ahmadinejad cast doubt over the official version of the 2001 attacks.

“The Iranian government has professed on the tongue of its president Ahmadinejad that it does not believe that al-Qaida was behind 9/11 but rather, the US government,” the article said, according to Iranian media. “So we may ask the question: why would Iran ascribe to such a ridiculous belief that stands in the face of all logic and evidence?” . . .
Full story: guardian.co.uk

Comment: This chuckle in The Guardian from CIA, MI6, and MOSSAD deceivers of US-sponsored al Qaeda invasions in the Balkans, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Syria, etc., leads one to wonder if Inspire magazine is written to spook feeble-minded English-speakers, to attract advertisers like Bud Lite, Marlboro, Coke and the ADL in these straightened times, or because of the dearth of Arabic linguists employed by the CIA.

At the time of 9/11, CIA employee Osama Bin Laden, recuperating in an American military hospital in Pakistan, stated it was not the mythical al Qaeda demon that wired WTC1, WTC2, and WTC7 for controlled demolition or fired an ICBM at the Pentagon. Mr. Ahmadinejad’s finger-pointing at the US government is Conspiracy fact, not theory. It mirrors hard evidence and the firm opinions of New York residents.


White House Statement on Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani

September 29, 2011 — “The United States condemns the conviction of Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani. Pastor Nadarkhani has done nothing more than maintain his devout faith, which is a universal right for all people.”

“That the Iranian authorities would try to force him to renounce that faith violates the religious values they claim to defend, crosses all bounds of decency, and breaches Iran’s own international obligations. A decision to impose the death penalty would further demonstrate the Iranian authorities’ utter disregard for religious freedom, and highlight Iran’s continuing violation of the universal rights of its citizens. We call upon the Iranian authorities to release Pastor Nadarkhani, and demonstrate a commitment to basic, universal human rights, including freedom of religion.”

US Commission on International Religious Freedom, September 28, 2011 — “The US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) expressed deep concern about the fate of Christian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, who this week has appeared daily before an Iranian court demanding that he recant his faith or face execution for apostasy. USCIRF also is concerned about deteriorating conditions for all religious minorities in Iran.”

“After being arrested in October 2009 and receiving an informal, oral death sentence for apostasy soon after, Mr. Nadarkhani eventually was tried and the sentenced in September 2010 and, in November 2010, received a written verdict with a sentence of execution by hanging. After an appeal, in June 2011, the Iranian Supreme Court upheld the verdict but sought an investigation to determine whether or not as an adult Mr. Nadarkhani had converted to Christianity from Islam. Despite finding that he had not converted as an adult, an Iranian court this week demanded that Mr. Nadarkhani recant his Christian faith because of his Muslim ancestry. While his immediate fate is uncertain, a previous official fatwa issued in Iran gives a defendant three days to recant his or her faith after which a sentence can be implemented any time thereafter. His fourth and final appearance is scheduled for today, Wednesday.”

“Despite the finding that Mr. Nadarkhani did not convert to Christianity as an adult, the court continues to demand that he recant his faith or otherwise be executed,” said USCIRF chair Leonard Leo. “The most recent court proceedings are not only a sham, but are contrary to Iranian law and international human rights standards, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Iran is a party,” said Leo. . . Full story: uscirf.gov

Comment: Mr. Leo is active in the affairs of the Catholic Church, serving as a member of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and a member of the board of the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast.” Why is a supposedly fiercely secular state so concerned with “religious freedom” in foreign nations in “continuing violation of the universal rights of its [own] citizens,” and abusing “basic, universal human rights, including freedom of religion” at home?

All who worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob know from the Bible that the Judaeo-Roman church is a creation of Jewry, from history that Islam is a Judaeo-Roman creation, and that the (once) Protestant United States is the image to Rome. The US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) is an extremely sinister organization expanding US Imperialism beyond pure military force to demonic mind-control enforced by the sword as Constantine transformed Imperial Rome from a natural military power over the body to a spiritual (demonic) master over mind and soul. Jesus has warned us that when Rome’s pope is incarnate by Satan he becomes the “beast who will empower and authorise his US image to demand and enforce all to serve him, accept his trinitarian dogma, or be killed”  (Revelation 13:4-8, 15-18; 18:13).


Remembering the Censored Death of Gaza Boy killed in Drone Attack

September 29, 2011 — “Both of Ibrahim’s arms were cut off. He had a hole in his lung. Parts of his legs were missing. His kidney was in a bad condition . . . we need people to stand with us.” These were the words of an exhausted man as he described the condition of his dying son in an interview with The Real News, an alternative news source.

Ibrahim Zaza was merely a 12-year-old boy. He and his cousin Mohammed, 14, were hit by an Israeli missile in Gaza, fired from an unmanned drone as they played in front of their house.

The story started on August 18. The next day, the British Telegraph reported: “Israel launches fightback after militant attack on Egypt border,” The whitewashing of the recent Israeli strikes at besieged Gaza leaves one wondering if all reporters used Israeli army talking points as they conveyed the story. Palestinians were punished for an attack at Israelis that reportedly accrued near the Israeli border with Egypt. There is no evidence linking Gaza to the attack, and Egyptian authorities are now disputing the Israeli account altogether. . . Full story: truth-out.org


UNO—You represent whom?

September 20, 2011 — The United Nations Organization is neither United, nor it is an Organization, but rather, a club for trading interests, and what community of Nations is it supposed to represent? Did anyone vote for it? Therefore speaking about the UNO and democracy in one and the same breath is ludicrous.

In fact, speaking about “democracy” at all is as absurd as it is hilarious since the only truly democratic system of governance is the Libyan Jamahiriya, thought up and implemented by Muammar al-Qathafi—a system based upon self-regulating communities called People’s Councils who decide who their leaders should be, draw up plans for the community members and request funding and equipment for their needs, the role of the central Government being to distribute wealth and serve the interests of the people.

Enter the UNO, talking about “democracy.” What “democracy”? Did anyone vote for the United Nations Organization? Then what right do a handful of members sitting in its Security Council have to implement policy which can have a direct affect on our lives? And how “democratic” are the member states supporting the policies it implements—policies which more and more rubber-stamp NATO’s colonialist adventures? . .

The truth of the matter is most people in Libya are against this NATO-led war, most people in Libya despise the NTC members as the terrorists they are—elements within this scourge are listed on anti-terrorist lists and most people in Libya favour the Jamahiriya government. . .

Comment: All truth! The UN is a Jewish criminal organization. Party politics preclude democracy.


Sirte Civilians accuse NATO of Genocide

September 27, 2011 — Civilians pouring out of the besieged city of Sirte accused NATO of committing genocide yesterday as revolutionary forces reinforced their numbers and prepared for a new attack on Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s home town. Long lines of civilian vehicles were seen leaving after a night punctuated by NATO air attacks. Forces fighting for the National Transitional Council (NTC) added their own artillery and mortar rounds at regular intervals.

Civilians, many looking scared or sullen, said that conditions inside Sirte were “disastrous”. They made claims which, if verified, offer a conundrum for NATO, which operates with a UN mandate on the need to protect civilian life. . .

Proof Izrael behind the Fake ‘Libyan Spring’

September 27, 2011 — On 10.05.2011 the Russian newspaper www.Gazeta.ru obtained an image from a Ukrainian intelligence officer of a document in Hebrew signed between Israel and the Transitional National Council (TNC) in Benghazi requiring Aalzam Israel to support insurgents with logistics and weapons and to place pressure on the European and Arab states not to disclose that the Council is training militants for Army forces; in return they promise to allow Israel to establish a military base in Green Mountain. This Agreement is for 30 years with an option to renew.

There are other confidential documents that contains very serious Transitional Council undertakings to allocate the Libyan plot area of square kilometers for the burial of nuclear waste. Consider this in the context of Israel’s policy of advocating the dumping of nuclear waste in Arab countries, especially after the scandal one of the areas defined by the Mauritanian agreement was for the transport and secret burial of nuclear waste from Israel, but the issue floated to the surface and was exposed.

It also undertook to provide military support and assistance in the event Israel goes to war with any Arab country, here, in Egypt or Tunisia or Algeria or Sudan or any Arab uprising declared to be hostile against Israel. This is the freedom and democracy sought by the rebels in Libya. . .

And we wondered why more countries recognized TNC as a ‘legitimate government’ just days after they started attacks on governmental buildings, but not Palestine after decades of struggle to keep what is rightfully theirs. And we wondered why all (Zionist) media called NATO’s Al Qaeda terrorists “Freedom Fighters”. Full story: libyasos.blogspot.com, further confirmed by globalresearch.ca


The Latest Orchestrated Threat to America and the End of History

September 27, 2011 — Have you ever before heard of the Haqqanis? I didn’t think so. Like Al Qaeda, about which no one had heard prior to 9/11, the “Haqqani Network” has popped up in time of need to justify America’s next war—Pakistan.

President Obama’s claim that he had Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden exterminated deflated the threat from that long-serving bogeyman. A terror organization that left its leader, unarmed and undefended, a sitting duck for assassination no longer seemed formidable. Time for a new, more threatening, bogeyman, the pursuit of which will keep the “war on terror” going.

Now America’s “worst enemy” is the Haqqanis. Moreover, unlike Al Qaeda, which was never tied to a country, the Haqqani Network, according to Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, is a “veritable arm” of the Pakistani government’s intelligence service, ISI. Washington claims that the ISI ordered its Haggani Network to attack the US Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, on September 13 along with the US military base in Wadak province.

Senator Lindsey Graham, a member of the Armed Services committee and one of the main Republican warmongers, declared that “all options are on the table” and gave the Pentagon his assurance that in Congress there was broad bipartisan support for a US military attack on Pakistan.

As Washington has been killing large numbers of Pakistani civilians with drones and has forced the Pakistani army to hunt for Al Qaeda throughout most of Pakistan, producing tens of thousands or more of dislocated Pakistanis in the process, Sen. Graham must have something larger in mind.

The Pakistani government thinks so, too. The Pakistani prime minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, called his foreign minister home from talks in Washington and ordered an emergency meeting of the government to assess the prospect of an American invasion. . .

Over the years of its servitude as an American puppet, the Pakistan government has brought this on itself. Pakistanis let the US purchase the Pakistan government, train and equip its military, and establish CIA interface with Pakistani intelligence. A government so dependent on Washington could say little when Washington began violating its sovereignty, sending in drones and special forces teams to kill alleged Al Qaeda, but usually women, children, and farmers. Unable to subdue after a decade a small number of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, Washington has placed the blame for its military failure on Pakistan, just as Washington blamed the long drawn-out war on the Iraqi people on Iran’s alleged support for the Iraqi resistance to American occupation.

Some knowledgeable analysts’ about whom you will never hear in the “mainstream media,” say the US military/security complex and their neoconservative whores are orchestrating World War III before Russia and China can get prepared. As a result of communist oppression, a significant percentage of the Russian population is in the American orbit. These Russians trust Washington more than they trust Putin. The Chinese are too occupied dealing with the perils of rapid economic growth to prepare for war and are far behind the threat.

War, however, is the lifeblood of the profits of the military/security complex, and war is the chosen method of the neoconservatives for achieving their goal of American hegemony.

Pakistan borders China and former constituent parts of the Soviet Union in which the US now has military bases on Russia’s borders. US war upon and occupation of Pakistan is likely to awaken the somnolent Russians and Chinese. As both possess nuclear ICBMs, the outcome of the military/security complex’s greed for profits and the neoconservatives’ greed for empire could be the extinction of life on earth. . .

2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls go Online

September 26, 2011 — Two thousand years after they were written and decades after they were found in desert caves, some of the world-famous Dead Sea Scrolls went online for the first time on Monday in a project launched by Israel’s national museum and the web giant Google.

The appearance of five of the most important Dead Sea scrolls on the Internet is part of a broader attempt by the custodians of the celebrated manuscripts—who were once criticized for allowing them to be monopolized by small circles of scholars—to make them available to anyone with a computer.

The scrolls include the biblical Book of Isaiah, the manuscript known as the Temple Scroll, and three others. Surfers can search high-resolution images of the scrolls for specific passages, zoom in and out, and translate verses into English.

The most complete scrolls are held by the Israel Museum, with more pieces and smaller fragments found in other institutions and private collections. Tens of thousands of fragments from 900 Dead Sea manuscripts are held by the Israel Antiquities Authority, which has separately begun its own project to put them online in conjunction with Google. . . The Antiquities Authority project, aimed chiefly at scholars, is tentatively set to be complete by 2016, at which point nearly all of the scrolls will be available on the Internet.

Zechariah Chapter Twelve

In Zechariah chapter 12 we pass from Israel’s rejection of Messiah in the previous chapter which we studied in Newsletter 705, past two thousand years of the Gentile dispensation, to the second half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week and Israel’s final deliverance and salvation. Throughout this period Judea is ruled by the “worthless or idol shepherd” of pagan Rome, papal Rome, her abominable daughter Islam, and ultimately Satan Himself, cast down to Earth and incarnate in Rome’s pope with whom Jewry will covenant when he restores peace following the brief ‘hot stage’ of the present World War III, when by universal acclaim he will be declared president of one world government (Daniel 7:8-11; 8:9-27; 9:27; 11:35-38). Modern Israel has been restored in a condition of unbelief as foretold in Isaiah 1, much as it was at the time of Christ’s first advent when the threads of God’s dealings with that nation were finally dropped, not to be taken up again “until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled” and our silver thread of redemption is forever severed. There a “Sodom of strangers [Serpent's seed, Heb. 'zuwr,' impersonate the kinsmen of Abraham, Isaac and Israel], devour and plunder all they see,” and Jesus prophesied that from now to the consummation, Jerusalem will be “deemed spiritually as Sodom and Egypt”  (Luke 17:28-30; Revelation 11:8). Zechariah 12 bypasses the first half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week and opens with an account of the great siege then goes on to reveal the national conversion (Zechariah 12:10 – 13:9; Romans 11:25-32) and God’s wonderful deliverance for David’s City.

Only when they were in the greatest straits did Joseph make himself known to his brethren, and when Jerusalem is in its dire extremity that memorable scene in the ancient land of the pyramids will be reproduced in all its pathos when their long-rejected Brother will say to His own after the flesh, “I am Jesus, your Brother whom you sold to Pilate; do not grieve nor be angry with yourselves, that you delivered Me to be crucified: for God sent Me before you to preserve a remnant in the earth, and to save you by a great deliverance” (Genesis 45:1-15; Zechariah 13:6-9).

Zechariah 12:1-8 introduces us to the prophet’s second burden (or threatening prediction) from the Lord that will distress Israel prior to her complete deliverance. “The burden of the Word of the Lord concerning Israel: Thus says the Lord, who stretches forth the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a bowl of reeling to all the peoples round about, when they are in the siege against Judah and against Jerusalem. In that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all peoples: all who lift it will be severely injured; and all peoples of the earth will come together against it”.

In order to assuage doubt and build faith as to the fulfillment of the prophecy, the Lord reminds Israel that He is not an absentee landlord but the ever-present Sustainer of His creation, daily stretching forth the heavens and laying the foundations of earth, which, were it not upheld by His almighty power, it would wander from its orbit into ruin (Colossians 1:16-17). And as He formed our mortal spirit there are no restraints upon His ability continuously to mold the thoughts and intents of the heart in order to accomplish His purposes through men.

All the nations of earth will gather against Judah in the siege of Jerusalem. And the country of Judah like her capital will be a bowl of reeling God administers to the invaders and the burden will overcome and rupture them politically as one who has overrated his own strength in lifting a stone too heavy for him suffers injury. Israel “fell” on Messiah, the Rock of offense, and was “broken,” but that Rock will fall on Jerusalem’s foes—“all peoples, all the nations of the earth”—the United Nations—and “grind them to powder” (Matthew 21:24; Daniel 2:44-45).

“In that day, says the Lord, I will smite every horse with bewilderment, and his rider with madness. But upon the house of Judah I will open My eyes, when I smite every horse of the Gentiles with blindness. Then the clans of Judah shall say to themselves, the inhabitants of Jerusalem have found strength in the Lord of hosts, their God. On that day will I make them like a hearth of fire among the faggots, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they will devour to the right and to the left all the peoples round about, while Jerusalem stands unmoved. And the Lord will give victory to the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be exalted over that of Judah”.

Whereas from Calvary and throughout the Six Trumpet Judgments during the Gentile dispensation God appeared to close His eyes to Israel’s welfare and “smite her with insanity, and blindness, and bewilderment” (Deuteronomy 28:28), He now opens wide His eyes upon the house of Judah to see and provide for her needs while He smites her foes with precisely the same three plagues so that they destroy themselves (II Kings 6:18; Zechariah 14:12-13; Revelation 3:17-20) “In that day . . . when they shall be in the siege against Judah and against Jerusalem”.

The tribal chiefs of the 144,000 find strength in the faith of their brethren who have remained in Jerusalem in the surety that as Israelites “it shall come to pass that all who call upon the Name of the Lord [in the appointed way] shall be delivered: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, and those who are saved will be those whom the Lord has called” (Zechariah 12:5-6; Joel 2:32; Deuteronomy 16:2, 16; Psalm 14:7; Obadiah 17-21; Romans 8:30). The repulse of the foe from the metropolis shall assure Judah that the Most High who dwells in Jerusalem will save them also, and in consequence of this trust in the Divine election, He will consume their foes on every hand “as a torch of fire in a ripe sheaf . . . and [the 144,000 daughters of] Jerusalem will be unmoved”.

The Israeli military and its atomic power will not be employed, for God chooses the weak to confound the mighty that all human glorying may be set aside, and His stand will be for the elect Israelites, not their enemy the so-called Jews. Thus because of Judah’s meek acknowledgment of dependence on Jerusalem subordinate to His right arm (12:5), the Lord first saves the tents of Judah, weak and insecure, spread over the open country in order that the fortified capital may not lift itself above the defenseless land, that both Jerusalem and Judah may acknowledge the victory is the Lord’s.

Daniel 7:8 signifies antichrist as a horn growing out of the fourth Gentile world empire and dwells on his worldly conquests as a global ruler. John and Paul describe him as “that man of sin, the son of perdition,” a spiritual tyrant called the false prophet “having a form of godliness while denying the authority of God’s Word.”

“In that day [without military might or power] the Lord will defend and exalt the inhabitants of Jerusalem to a degree of strength far exceeding anything in their past history. Then the stumbler who can scarce hold himself up, much less attack a foe, will become a hero like David; and even David’s house shall exceed its highest fame of old, and become [superhuman] like God, like the Angel of the Lord, who once marched at the head of the armies of Israel”.

What is briefly described by one prophet is more fully prophesied by the other. God’s Covenant with natural Israel was breached when the nation crucified her Messiah on the sixty-ninth of the Seventy Weeks on the hour, day, month and year foretold in Exodus 12:6, Nehemiah 2:1, and Daniel 9:26. That breach brought the great convulsion of nature described in Matthew 27:45-53. The Sun darkened for three hours from noon: “the earth quaked and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened and many bodies of the sleeping saints arose and left their graves after His resurrection.” This established the pattern for the terminus of the Gentile dispensation described in Joel 2:31-32, “The Sun shall be turned to darkness, and the Moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord. [I Thessalonians 4:16-17, "and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord"]. And it shall come to pass, that whoever calls on the Name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the remnant [of elect Israelites] He has called” (Isaiah 4:2; Obadiah 17; Zephaniah 1:14-18; Revelation 6:12-14). Zion will be the only place of safety for the elect Israelites in first half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week (Revelation 11:5-6). Joel 3:1-21 describes the judgments that will be inflicted upon their enemies after the midst of the Week, that is, in the second half of the Week while the Lord vindicates the promises of His Word.

The purpose of this earthquake at the close of the Gentile dispensation will be to divide the Mount of Olives, demolish the Dome of the Rock and ignite the “hot stage” of World War III in order to initiate judgment upon the Gentiles as a means to bring the twelve Tribes of Israel back from exile, primarily from the now Muslim nations of the ancient Assyrian empire to the land of the Covenant for their redemption. God deals with Israel as a nation, and only in the land of the Covenant—presently occupied by “strangers,” the self-styled non-Semitic Jews. In addition to gathering genuine Israelites of the blood of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Lord will also gather all nations, and bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for harming My people and My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have parted My land and divided My people as their slaves, traded a boy for a harlot, and sold a maiden for wine that they might drink”.

The First Committee of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP), on which each of the then fifty-five members of the United Nations was represented, held twelve meetings, from May 6 to May 13 1947, using the facilities for simultaneous interpretation available at Lake Success on May 6 to determine the make-up of UNSCOP that would determine the future of Palestine [UN docs. A/C.l/P.V.46-57 (May 6-13, 1947)]. The upshot of those meetings was that “all nations [the United Nations] . . . have parted My land” (Joel 3:1-3) in the partition of Palestine and will yet part it when UN Resolution 181 of 1947 is enforced following World War III (Daniel 11:39; Zechariah 14:2).

Brother Branham said, “If you want to see what time of year it is, look on the calendar. If you want to see what time of night it is, look at the clock. If you want to see what day you’re living in, look where the Jews [he means Israelites] are. That’s God’s timepiece.”

“And look. The very night, the very day that the angel of the Lord met me, 1946 [he means 1947] on May the seventh, at Green’s Mill, Indiana, that same day the treaty of peace was signed for the Jews and they were a established nation for the first time for twenty-five hundred years. Hallelujah.”

“And tonight, the oldest flag in all the world, the six-point star of David, flies over Jerusalem for the first time in twenty-five hundred years, since the carrying away of Babylon. Jesus said, “When you see the fig tree putting forth its buds.” There she is. There He said, “Learn a parable. You say summer’s nigh. When you see this, know that the times is at the door.” We’re right at the end of time” (COD, p. 47:Q6).

“First, they were carried down into Egypt. Second, they were carried into Babylon, and the [times of the] Gentiles was issued in. And then, the third, they were carried or scattered by the Roman empire, and 1947 on May the seventh, they were once more recognized among the nations of the world for the first time for twenty-five hundred years, the Jews were.”

“Notice, two thousand, yeah, twenty-five hundred years the Jews has been scattered to every nation under heaven. As God hardened Pharaoh’s heart, bringing them back, He hardened Hitler’s heart, Mussolini’s heart, and so forth, till He’s drove them back to Palestine. Coming back they have made them a nation again, and on May the sixth, 1947, the Jewish flag was raised over Israel for the first time for twenty-five hundred years. The oldest flag in the world was raised for the first time in twenty-five hundred years. And He said in the last days He’d raise up a ensign over Jerusalem, showing that the time is at hand” (Beginning and Ending of the Gentile Dispensation, p. 10:89; Isaiah 11:10-16; 18; 30; 31; Zechariah 9:16; Matthew 24:32-34).

“Now, to see whether this Message that we got is connected with it or not. The very hour that Israel was signed in to be a nation; it was the very same hour, very same day, very same month, everything else: I was at Green’s Mill, Indiana, when that Angel there appeared to me and sent me out on the field with this; after He had met me down on the river [in 1933] and told me what would take place, then commissioned me eleven years later at the same hour that Israel was signed in as a nation. It’s all connected together” (The Ten Virgins, p. 444.99).

Leviticus 26:14-31 decrees a curse on the disobedient while verses 40-45 contain a promise to the penitent: “But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in the treason they perpetrated against Me, and walking contrary to Me, so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and they accept the punishment for their iniquity; then I will remember My Covenant with Jacob, My Covenant also with Isaac and My Covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land (and its desolation). For the land shall enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate in their absence, and they must make amends for their iniquity because they spurned My ordinances and their souls abhorred My statutes. Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them so as to annihilate them completely and break My Covenant with them: for I am the Lord their God. But for their sakes I will remember the Covenant with their forefathers, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the Lord”.

Note carefully the Old Covenant was exclusively with the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob whose forefathers participated in the exodus from Egyptian bondage. It specifically excludes any other people, including the Edomite descendants of Esau and the Khazars, even when they assume the more respectable Japhetic appellation of “Ashkenaz” as they had assumed the name Jew.

In 487BC Hosea 6:1-3 prophesied: “Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for He has torn, and He will heal us; He has smitten, and He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we ill live in His sight. Then we shall know, if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rains that water the earth.” II Peter 3:8: “A thousand years is as one day with the Lord,” and as 2,011 + 487 = 2,498 years shows, we see we are clearly “in the third day”.

“As Israel (chosen people of God) in majority forfeited their rights in the Book of Life by rejecting Jesus, so the majority of the Gentile church will also come into condemnation with the resultant removal of their names from the Book of Life by rejecting the Word and thereby entering into the world ecumenical movement which is the image erected unto the beast”  (William Branham, An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 274:2).

Soon the Mighty Judge will summons the Gentile nations to war so that He can take recompense in Israel’s behalf, fulfill His promise to the penitent and deliver His dread decision in the metaphorical “Valley of Jehoshaphat” (II Chronicles 20). The imagery is furnished by the great deliverance God gave Jehoshaphat, when the forces of Ammon, Moab, and Edom came against Him; his name means “Jehovah has judged”; the king appealed to God who turned their swords against one another as is also prophesied for this coming battle (Ezekiel 38:21-23; Haggai 2:6, 20-23; Zechariah 14:12-15). Here the Lord will “plead” against the Gentiles to charge them with the crimes of scattering His people and treating them with the greatest contempt throughout the history of His servant nation. The word implies the nations will argue their own cause in an attempt to justify themselves, but of course they have no ground on which to stand.

This is looking at the second half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week, when God calls Israel “My people, and My heritage Israel” whereas for two thousand five hundred years the Northern kingdom was “Lo-ammi, not My people, and I will not be your God. [Hence the folly of British Israel/Christian Identity theology—a Jewish HOAX perpetrated by cabbalist John Dee and Rabbi Menasseh ben Israel—is manifest (II Timothy 3:9)]. But when the children of Judah and the children of Israel are gathered together [to the Land of the Covenant (Jeremiah 3:18) following the invasion at the start of Daniel's Seventieth Week from which the self-styled Jews will flee], and appoint themselves one Head [Jesus Christ the Son of David] and together return from exile, [there] He will say to them: You are the sons of the living God” (Hosea 1:9-11). This brings us to the earthquake of Revelation 11:13-14 and 12:15-16 (Ezekiel 38:20; Haggai 2:6) “the time of Jacob’s trouble” in the second half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week and the fulfillment of Zechariah 12:9-14 following the martyrdom of the two witnesses of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11 when Israel will recognize Christ’s second or ‘parousia’ coming (Jeremiah 30:1 – 31:40). Zechariah’s description of the brave gallantry of the Israelites is a metaphor for the confidence of their new-found faith in Jehovah rather than valiant prowess in physical warfare, for the battle will be the Lord’s.

Most people in the circle of this Message believe that following Calvary only half a week of Daniel’s Seventy Weeks remained outstanding, but as you shown on the diagram, this cannot be the case. Rather there remain three and a half years wherein the New Covenant ministered to Israel by John the Baptist and Jesus will be reconfirmed.

Zechariah 12:9-14 “And on that day, [when the 144,000 are born-again Spiritual supermen as prophesied in verses 1-8] I will seek to destroy all nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and supplication, so when they look on Me whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps for a firstborn”.

In this passage no thought is given to the coming conflict, or victory, no reeling bowl for the Gentiles, no torch among the sheaves, no march of a hero at the head of conquering hosts. On the contrary, all is subjective, subdued, inwardly and outwardly spiritual. Israel is seen at the end of the world standing alone in her relation to Him whom they rejected, and meditating upon the character of their great crime. One thought occupies all minds, one feeling pervades all hearts. Each tribe, family and individual separates to weep in silence and solitude over the grievous infliction.

Psalm 51:4-10, “Against You and You alone have I sinned committing deicide in Your sight, so that Your sentence against me is just and blameless in judgment (Revelation 15:2-4). But I was born in iniquity and in sin my mother conceived me. Surely You desire truth in my inward being; therefore teach me this wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. And after You have chastised me, cause me to hear joy and gladness, so that the bones which You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a steadfast spirit in me”.

Zechariah 12:11, “In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.” This refers to the lamentation over King Josiah who was mortally wounded “in the valley of Megiddo” (II Chronicles 35). He is introduced as a type of Messiah because he was slain on account of the sins of the Judahites; his reign was the closing manifestation of mercy on the part of God; unspeakable misery followed upon the Judahites immediately afterwards as it has since Calvary under the Trumpet judgments; and the lamentation for his death rested upon the mingled feelings of love, and of sorrow for their own sins as the cause of his death.

This will be Israel’s day of Atonement when they afflict their souls in mourning for their murder of Messiah (Leviticus 23:27-32). “On that day I will set Myself with determined earnestness to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem”.

Brother Branham deals with these verses in An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages (pp. 36-42) where He speaks of the coming God, Jesus Christ:

Revelation 1:7, “Behold, He comes with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also who pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen”.

He is coming. Jesus is coming. God is coming. The Prophet is coming. The Priest and King is coming. The ALL in ALL is coming. Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly. Amen.

photograph of sign of Christ's 'parousia' Coming February 28, 1963He is coming. He is coming in clouds, clouds of glory as when He was seen upon the Mount of Transfiguration, [that is, in the Shekinah (Matthew 24:3; 30-31) as in the sign of His imminent parousia seen over Arizona on February 28, 1963 and featured on the index page of our Church Website], and His garments were shining as the power of God enfolded Him. And EVERY eye shall see Him. That means this is not the Rapture [or translation]. This is when He comes to take over His rightful place as World Ruler (Zechariah 14:9). This is when those who have pierced Him with their denominational creeds and doctrines shall mourn, and all the people shall wail in terror because of Him Who is the Word. [This is not the physical (Gk. 'erchomai') return of the glorified Jesus, for His precious feet will not touch this earth until He returns with the glorified saints of all Ages to step out on the atomic ashes of the wicked for the Millennium (Isaiah 13:9; 51:6; Daniel 2:44; Malachi 4:1-3). On that day there will be no one on earth to "see" His return (Nahum 1:5; Zephaniah 3:8). This will be His (Gk. 'parousia') Coming to Israel in W_O_R_D form by the revelation of the Message of the two witnesses of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11 after their martyrdom by Rome.

Zechariah 12:10, "And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for His firstborn".

John 19:33-37, "When the soldiers came to Jesus, and saw that He was dead already, they did not break His legs: but one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and there came out blood and water. And he who saw it bore record, and his record is true: and he knows that he tells the truth, in order that you might believe. For these things were done, that the Scripture should be fulfilled, 'A bone of Him shall not be broken' (Exodus 12:46; Psalm 34:20). And again another Scripture said: They shall look on Him whom they pierced".

Note the change of person in the quotation—from "Me whom" for "Him whom." In Zechariah it is Messiah who is speaking of Himself, while in John's Gospel the evangelist is speaking of Messiah.

There was a preliminary mourning at the crucifixion. Luke 23:46-48, "When Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit: and having said this, He gave up the ghost. Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying: Certainly this was a righteous man. And all the multitudes who assembled to see the sight, when they saw what had taken place, returned home striking their breasts." But the real fulfillment began when the multitudes of Israelites and proselytes at Pentecost were "pricked in their heart" (Acts 2:37).

As I have said, this is not the visual (Gk. 'optomai') sighting of the glorified Man but of the sign of Christ's Presence (or Gk. 'parousia') Coming by faith signified by the Shekinah that will appear over the mount of Olives in the near future (Matthew 24:3, 23-31; Acts 1:6-11).

Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming to Israel will be the revelation of His invisible arrival and subsequent Presence with His elect in W_O_R_D form. Throughout the Seven Church Ages the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals, and because the saints had only PART-Word, Christ was a Mediator for their ignorance of the whole. The revelation of the mystery of the Seven Seals in 1963 brought Christ back to earth in WORD form through the spoken Word of His prophet, William Branham, for Christ is the fullness of the Word].

Brother Branham continues, “This is the revelation story of Zechariah 12:9-14. Zechariah prophesied this about 2,500 years ago. It is just about to take place. Listen. “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced. . .” Now, when is the Gospel returning to Israel? When the day of the Gentiles is finished. The Gospel is ready to go back to the Hebrews. Oh, if I could just tell you something that is about to happen right in this our day. This great thing that is about to happen will carry over to Revelation 11 and pick up those two witnesses, those two prophets, Moses and Elijah, turning the Gospel back to the Hebrews. [That "great thing" is Christ's parousia in the former or teaching rain under the ministry of two prophets to Israel, and the latter or harvest rain to the Gentile Bride]. We’re ready for it. Everything is in order. [In the same manner] As the Hebrews brought the message to the Gentiles, even so the Gentiles will take it right back to the Hebrews, and the Rapture [or resurrection and translation] will come.

[As the born-again Hebrews brought the Message to us through the ministry of the prophet Paul in a time of apostasy and persecution. The Message will return to Israel through a prophetic ministry in a time of apostasy and persecution].

Now, remember what we have read in Revelation and Zechariah. Both come right after the tribulation. [Brother Branham is speaking of the birth of Israel in one day after the first three and a half years of Daniel's Seventieth week]. The Church of the First-born does not go through the tribulation. We know that. The Bible teaches that.

At that time it says that God is going to pour out His Spirit upon the house of Israel. It is the same Spirit that was poured upon the Gentiles in their day. [By the former or teaching rain: "Faith comes by hearing and understanding the revealed Word for your day," making your life a written epistle of that part of the Word]. “And they shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and they shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born. In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddon. And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart . . .” and each one of the houses apart when He comes in clouds of glory at His Second Coming. [This will be the fulfillment of the second purpose of Gabriel's sixfold instructions to Daniel regarding his Seventieth Week: "To make an end of sin," or unbelief in the revealed Word of God—Daniel 9:24].

Those Jews that pierced Him shall see Him as it says in chapter 13, “Whence did You get those wounds?” and He will say, “In the house of My friends.” [This will be the fulfillment of the third purpose of Gabriel's sixfold instructions to Daniel regarding his Seventieth Week: "To make reconciliation for iniquity," or doing what you know is wrong—Daniel 9:24].

Not only will it be a mournful time for the Hebrews who rejected Him as Messiah, but it will be a mournful time for those left of the Gentiles who have rejected Him as the Savior of this day.

There’ll be weeping and wailing. The sleeping virgins will be wailing. They represent the church that refused to get oil (symbol of the Holy Spirit) in their lamps (symbol of the body or holder of the oil) until it was too late. It wasn’t that they were not good people. They were virgins and that signifies a high moral order. But they didn’t have oil in their lamps so they were cast out where there was wailing and gnashing of teeth. . .”

“The Bride will be taken off the earth. She will be caught up before the great tribulation to meet her Lord in the air. For three and one-half years while the retributive wrath of God is poured out, she will be in the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Then will He return [in W_O_R_D form by revelation of the Message of two prophets], leaving His Bride in “His Father’s house,” while He makes Himself known to His brethren. [This will be Christ's parousia Coming in the office of Son of man to regenerate the 144,000 elect Israelites in one day. Since Revelation 12:7-12 is in parenthesis describing the spiritual battle that ensues following Satan's expulsion from the heavenly realm, and verse 12 refers to the Third Woe and its devastating impact that will ultimately cause the consummation of life on land and sea (Revelation 8:13; 10:6), verses 13-17 should be read from Revelation 12:6. When Satan is cast down to earth he will persecute the whole house of Israel who return "into their place" in the Land of the Covenant at this time where they will be nourished Spiritually for three and a half years through the ministry of their two Hebrew prophets. "And if any man wants to harm them, Fire issues from their mouths, and consumes their enemies: should anyone wish to injure them, he must be killed in this way." At the end of their ministry Rome will break her covenant with the international Jews (Revelation 11:5-7; 17:16-17; Daniel 9:27].

At this very time, the antichrist covenant that the Jews have made with Rome will be broken. Rome and her allies then send their troops ["as a flood"] to destroy all the God-fearing, Word-abiding Jews [Israelites (Revelation 12:15)]. But as they come against the city to destroy it, there will appear in the heavens the sign of the Coming of the Son of Man with His mighty armies to destroy them who have been destroying the earth (Revelation 11:18). With the enemy repulsed . . .

[How is "the enemy repulsed"? In Israel, he will be repulsed by an earthquake coinciding with the visible physical resurrection of Israel's two prophets. "And the earthquake helped the woman [Israel's elect] by swallowing seven thousand soldiers the Devil-incarnate pope had sent to destroy her. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Then Rome will begin to force the mark of the beast and 144,000 will flee to the cleft of the Rock (Revelation 11:7-13; 12:15-17). Subsequently Russia will bomb Vatican City State and mainland USA (fulfilling the seventh of seven consecutive visions shown to Brother Branham in 1933), for at that time the banksters will side with Judaeo-Communist Russia which they created and financed at the cost of US and British taxpayers.

Daniel 12:1-9 is a variant of the vision that appeared on mount transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-8). Here we see Moses on the Old Testament side of Christ standing on the River of Life and Elijah on the New Testament side. Christ explains that after three and a half years their revelation of the Seven Trumpet mysteries, which were erstwhile sealed, will be complete and themselves martyred. This agrees with what Christ revealed to us in Revelation 12:7-17 and 13:1-9.

Returning to the start of Daniel’s Seventieth Week, the earthquake of Zechariah 14:4-5 will destroy the Dome of the Rock at the dispensation change, and the Jews will immediately restore animal sacrifices, establishing a new desolating abomination to be worshipped (Revelation 11:1-3; 13:4-18). Daniel 12:10-13 tells us Rome will ban animal sacrifices, and provides a timeline for the outcome of the prophetic ministry in the new birth of the elect Israelites who “endure unto the end” (Matthew 24:13; Revelation 13:10).

After the midst of the Week] “With the enemy repulsed, Jesus comes and presents Himself to the 144,000. Having seen His mighty acts of salvation, they have come to know His power. But also seeing His wounds and knowing that they had rejected Him even to that moment, causes them to cry out in the agony of terror and fear, even as did their brethren of old when they stood before Joseph, being sore afraid that they would be killed. But as Joseph said, “Don’t be angry with yourselves. It is all right. God was in it all. He did it to preserve life.” Even so will Jesus speak peace and love to them.

Why did the Jews reject Jesus? God was in it all. It was the only way that He could bring out the Gentile Bride. He died on the cross to preserve the life of the Gentile Church.

Now these 144,000 are not in the Bride. In Revelation 14:4 they are called virgins and they follow the Lamb wherever He goes. The fact that they have not defiled themselves with women shows that they are eunuchs (Matthew 19:12). The eunuchs were the keepers of the bridal chambers. They were attendants. Notice that they do not sit in the throne but are before the throne. No, they are not in the Bride, but will be in the glorious millennial reign.

[Israel is God's servant nation, not Messiah's Bride. These 144,000 elect cannot be in Christ's Bride as the marriage, our new birth, occurs during the Gentile dispensation, and "Israel is blinded until the Gentile dispensation is fulfilled" (Romans 11:25). There are individual Israelites in Christ's Bride, but the nation will be born in one day—all 144,000 of them, another flaw in British Israel/Christian Identity theology].

We then see that when these last of Israel have been joined in love to the Lord, and the enemy has been destroyed [in the battle of Armageddon], God will prepare His holy mountain, His new Garden of Eden for the Bride and His and her attendants [the 144,000 elect Israelites] for the thousand year honeymoon upon the earth. As Adam and Eve were in the garden and did not finish out the thousand years, now Jesus our last Adam, and His Eve (True Church) will fulfill all the plan of God.

Oh, how the Bible repeats itself. The scene of Joseph and his brethren is about to be repeated, for Jesus is coming [to Israel] soon. . . there is one more thing I want to bring to your attention about this end time. You recall that as Joseph stood before his brethren when Benjamin was not with them he spoke through an interpreter though he knew the Hebrew well. He spoke to his brethren in another tongue. Did you know that the first Gentile Age (the head of gold, Babylonian Age) went out with a message in tongues written on a wall? This age is going out the same way. The abundance of tongues in this day is a further proof that the “times of the Gentiles” is [about] over and God is turning back to Israel.

He is coming soon. The Alpha and Omega, the Prophet, Priest and King, the All in All, Lord God of Hosts, is coming soon. Even so Lord Jesus, the One and Only True God, come quickly”! (nl432.htm nl617.htm extended in) nl707.htm

Overpopulation: the Making of a Myth

September 27, 2011

 


Bible Believers’ Newsletter 706

“We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . .”

ISSN 1442-8660

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Please remember Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani in your prayers.

In this Newsletter we touch upon multiculturalism, miscegenation, the BIG LIE of overpopulation, birth control, and an incessant barrage of lies from the invisible world government in its dual aspects of Finance and Communism to manipulate our minds. We must take God’s Absolute as our shield and strong tower, not retreat to human reasonings and emotions in conformity with the current perceptions of unregenerate fellow citizens in empathy with the world under Satan’s dominion.

This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony Grigor-Scott


Trader Says Central Bankers want Depression

Sep[tember 26, 2011 — "Governments do not rule the world. Goldman Sachs [i.e. Rothschild] rules the world,” independent trader Alessio Rastani told the BBC Monday morning. “This economic crisis is like a cancer, if you just wait and wait hoping it is going to go away, just like a cancer it is going to grow and it will be too late!”

While we do not know who this trader is, one thing we can be 100% certain of is that he will never appear on CNBC.

Biggest Losers in Palestine Veto: the American People

September 22, 2011 — If the Palestinian application for United Nations full membership actually takes place Friday and the United States uses its Security Council veto to stop the process, it will be the final step in a predictable and preventable tragedy playing out. . . recognition of statehood carries with it recognition that the state exists within defined space, in this case the 1967 borders. This has enormous significance because those borders include many areas being colonized by the Israelis, as well as East Jerusalem. It means that any Israeli settlement that is on the other side of that border is considered completely illegal and that Israel is therefore a rogue state that is occupying and settling lands belonging to a neighboring state 44 years after the cessation of hostilities.

If the Palestinians are in the United Nations as a full member or even with limited rights, they will have access to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where they can take legal steps against Israel and against individual Israelis. Even though Israel doesn’t recognize the legitimacy of the court, when it reaches the point where no senior Israeli government official, present or retired, can travel without concern over being arrested, it will have a major impact on how Israel sees itself and how the rest of the world sees Israel. The clear depiction of Israel as an occupying power in violation of the Geneva Conventions, to which most of the world’s nations are signatories, would also fuel the Israel divestment campaign, which is another major concern of the Israeli government, and also legitimately so, as it could have a serious impact on the Israeli economy.

Acceptance of full Palestinian sovereignty and statehood by Israel and the United States would give Tel Aviv a genuine negotiating partner and go far toward restoring the reputation of the United States of America, while rejection of it will end the charade forever, eliminating any chance for any kind of viable peace process in the Middle East. And the damage extends beyond that. Saudi Arabia has already warned that the US veto will do irreparable damage to its bilateral relationship with Washington and forever destroy America’s reputation in the Arab world. Full story: original.antiwar.com

Comment: Precisely as Zedekiah prophesied. Mahmoud Abbas has fatally discredited the US as the arbiter of a Middle East peace. In telling the Palestinians there was “no shortcut” to statehood—after they have already waited more than six decades for justice—the US President revealed his country as incapable of offering moral leadership on the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. If Obama is this craven to Israel, what better reception can the Palestinians hope to receive from a future US leader?


Obama at the United Nations: the Arrogant Voice of Imperialism

September 22, 2011 — President Obama delivered an empty and arrogant sermon to the United Nations Wednesday, laced with platitudes about “peace” that were designed to mask Washington’s predatory policies. . . The immediate purpose of Obama’s 47-minute address was to supplement a behind-the-scenes campaign of bullying and intimidation aimed at forcing the Palestinian Authority to drop its plan to seek a UN Security Council vote on recognition of Palestine as a sovereign member state.

Washington has vowed to veto any bid for Palestinian statehood if it comes to the Security Council, a move that would only underscore the real character of US imperialist policy in the Middle East and the hypocrisy of its claims to identify with the revolutionary upheavals of the Arab masses.

The speech and Obama’s defense of the veto threat served to accomplish the same purpose, further diminishing the US president’s popularity in the Arab world. According to a recent poll, his favorable rating in the region has fallen from roughly 50 percent when he took office to barely 10 percent, even lower than George W. Bush in his second term.

Obama rushed from the podium at the General Assembly hall to a meeting and joint appearance with Benyamin Netanyahu. The Israeli prime minister praised Obama’s remarks and made it clear that the two are working on a joint strategy to muscle Palestine Authority head Mahmoud Abbas into dropping the statehood bid. It was reported Thursday that there were efforts to get the Palestinian delegation to make an entirely symbolic plea for recognition, while agreeing to postpone any vote until after the resumption of US-brokered negotiations with Israel. . .

What Libya had Achieved has been Destroyed

September 22, 2011 — While a “pro-democracy” rebel government has been instated, the country has been destroyed. Against the backdrop of war propaganda, Libya’s economic and social achievements over the last thirty years have been brutally reversed:

The [Libyan Arab Jamahiriya] has had a high standard of living and a robust per capita daily caloric intake of 3144. The country has made strides in public health and, since 1980, child mortality rates have dropped from 70 per thousand live births to 19 in 2009. Life expectancy has risen from 61 to 74 years of age during the same span of years. . . A historical reversal in the country’s economic and social development has occurred. The achievements have been erased. . .

War and Globalization are intricately related. The IMF and NATO work in tandem, in liason with the Washington think tanks. The NATO operation purports to enforce the neo liberal economic agenda. Countries which are reluctant to accept the sugar coated bullets of IMF “economic medicine” will eventually be the object of a R2P NATO humanitarian operation. . . The World Bank financed “reconstruction” programs of war torn countries are coordinated with US-NATO military planning. They are invariably formulated prior to onslaught of the military campaign. . .

Libya’s frozen overseas financial assets are estimated to be of the order of $150 billion, with NATO countries holding more than $100 billion. Prior to the war, Libya had no debts. In fact quite the opposite. It was a creditor nation investing in neighboring African countries. . . In a bitter irony, after having stolen Libya’s oil wealth and confiscated its overseas financial assets, the “donor community” has pledged to lend the (stolen) money back to finance Libya’s post-war “reconstruction”. Libya is slated to join the ranks of indebted African countries which have driven into poverty by IMF and the World Bank since the onslaught of the debt crisis in the early 1980s. . .

Comment: Terrorists R US!


Overpopulation: the Making of a Myth

 

God’s commission to everyone born of Adam’s race is to: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the Earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living, moving creature on earth”  (Genesis 1:28).

A Brother who attended a function at his granddaughter’s school, told me how wonderful it was to see the different races enjoying one another’s company as they have for six thousand years, but this is no justification for “multiculturalism.” Jesus specifically warned this last generation against this Satanic subterfuge which is a euphemism for miscegenation which was the original sin and along with homosexuality is the besetting sin today that no believer in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob can condone (Matthew 24:37; Genesis 6:1-4; Luke 17:28-30; Genesis 18).

Governments of our apostate once Christian nations have imposed this evil under command of the enemy of God and man who rules the invisible world government in its dual aspects of Finance and Communism. Their announced objective is to provoke a formidable social cataclysm between the different races and cultures, religions and colours all herded together contrary to nature and the revealed Word of God under the pretext of Christian compassion for people who are refugees. Those who are genuine refugees have been made destitute by the invisible world government hunting them out from their homelands in order to steal and monopolize natural resources and impose their innocent prey as a weapon to divide and conquer a new victim—the homogenous developed nations who grant asylum—in the era of planned chaos created when the ‘hidden hand’ collapses the fiat monetary system and global economy.

Human sympathy is not compassion, compassion is doing the will of God.

When Jesus came to the pool at Bethesda “a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, and withered lay waiting for the moving of the water,” Yet Jesus walked past them all to “a certain man” [He had been shown in a vision] who had an infirmity thirty eight years. When Jesus saw him and learned of his faith in attending at the time of healing for so long, He asked, “Do you want to be healed”? The sick man answered, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going, another steps down before me.” Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed, and walk.” And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked.

Jesus came to do the will of God: “I assure you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but acts out whatever the Father has shown to Him by vision” (John 5:1-19). That is compassion. Compassion is THUS SAITH THE LORD, the will of God.

To the invisible government we are serfs—”human resources” whose minds are manipulated by controlled education and media. A Congressional Select Committee investigating the subversive activities of US tax-exempt foundations between 1952 and 1954 found human activities are franchised worldwide as outlined in the editorial of Newsletter 308. Rockefellers have the franchise on education. What we see, read and hear in the media and what is taught in our schools, institutes of higher learning, established as professional standards and practiced by organized religions of all persuasions, is human engineering designed to accomplish the objectives of the invisible world government. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan explained: “One of the leading principles of the mystics was the sacredness and secrecy of self-knowledge and the true knowledge of the gods. This wisdom was, they thought, unfit for, perhaps even dangerous to, the ordinary human mind; or in any case liable to perversion and misuse, and loss of virtue if revealed to the vulgar and unpurified spirits. Hence they favoured the existence of an outer worship, effective but imperfect, for the profane” (Indian Philosophy).

Christians are admonished to “stand fast in the liberty whereby Christ has set us free; and do not submit again to a yoke of servitude” (Galatians 5:1). God sent His prophet William Branham to restore the apostolic faith and finish the mystery of God that we might recognize our day and its Message so that by faith in the present Truth—what Jesus is doing now we will occupy our position in the Body and not seek to impersonate the place of the Church Ages saints of some bygone day. When you have a clear revelation of God’s Word for this hour, and can see that part of the Word living through you, you are born-again of the Life of your Father in heaven, a written epistle of the present Truth known and read by all of your acquaintances. The sacredness and secrecy of self-knowledge and the true knowledge of the one and only God, our LORD JESUS CHRIST, enables you to see yourself in Christ, and knowing your identity, to exercise your authority in Christ over Satan, sin, sickness and the world.

a human beingBrother Branham said, “If you are a son of God, and if I am a son of God, or a daughter of God, we were in God at the beginning. And when Jesus became the Fullness of the Word, then we were in Him, germ form. When He was crucified, we was crucified in His body. When He rose from the dead, we rose with Him. And now, since we have recognized it, now we set together with Him in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. See? If we are sons and daughters of God, we are God’s children; then we’re attributes of God. Then we got Eternal Life. And God is the only Eternal Life there is. Then we were in Him from the beginning. And when Jesus became all that Word, then we were part of Him then. Amen. There you are. When that’s in there, there’s no devil, no powers, no nothing can ever move it. That’s the tie post of the soul.”

“You can be anointed out here in this [mortal] spirit, and desire [memory, reasoning, conscience and imagination], and do all these other things, but when it comes to this tie post to that Word, you’ll never move from there. It’ll hold right steady and true to that Word as it can be. Outside of that, regardless of what you do, you’re still lost” (Christ is Revealed in His Own Word, p. 7:28-29).

Christ’s end-time Bride is the Capstone of the pyramid. We are a W_O_R_D Bride, we follow the revealed Word of God—not propaganda of the enemy of God and man, or what our sense of sight, hearing, taste, touch, or smell—conscience, memory, reasoning, imagination, or affection report, which only enable us to contact the material world, but—THUS SAITH THE LORD, faith. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen [heard, tasted, touched or smelled]” (Hebrews 11:1).

Body of ChristEnoch who built the Great Pyramid, the Bible in Stone, knew that the Capstone, the Logos or fullness of the Word would be despised and rejected (I Peter 2:4-8) by Israel’s denominations, and as it is by the Gentile denominations today (Luke 18:8; II Timothy 3:1 – 4:4; Revelation 3:17-20). The stones of Enoch’s pyramid, which represents the Body of Christ, were cut to fit with such precision no mortar was applied. Each stone matches its neighbours so perfectly that even a razor blade cannot pass between them. “Speaking the truth in love, [its antitype, made from the "living stones" of Christ's Bride of all Ages], is growing up in every way toward Christ who is the Head [Stone] from whom the whole body joined and knit together by every joint with which it is supplied, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body to the edifying of itself in love” (Ephesians 4:15-16). Built on the broad foundation of apostolic faith with Christ as Mediator for the saints’ ignorance of the fullness of the Word while the Bible was sealed, the building narrowed as it rose through the first three Church Ages as faith waned until it was almost totally lost through nigh a thousand years of Dark Ages. The building continued to narrow through the last three Church Ages of the Reformation of the Judaeo-Catholic system of false worship as successively greater measures of faith were required to be baptized into the Body. And when the last saint was baptized into the Laodicean Church Age, Christ’s mediation ended. Then Revelation 4, 5 and 10:1-7 were fulfilled and the revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963 brought Christ the Logos or fullness back to earth in W_O_R_D form (I Corinthians 13:10).

Revelation 1:8, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, said the Lord who is, and was, and is to come.” As the diagram confirms, Christ the Word was the foundation on which His Body is built (I Corinthians 3:11; Ephesians 2:20), and the Capstone that completes the Body (I Peter 2:6-7). He was the fullness of the Word at the beginning and is the fullness of the Word at the end, but He was not the PART-Word inbetween.

The revelation of the Seven Seals capped the Pyramid and the Capstone is made up of Christ’s end-time Bride. So at the opening of the Seals the Body of Christ was complete because although His end-time Bride was not yet born-again we were foreknown in the Capstone of the Body, and like the 144,000 elect Israelites we are predestinated to be born of the fullness of the Word so we were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary and have no need for a Mediator for by God’s help the revelation of the Seven Seals brought us the perfect interpretation of the Word with Divine vindication. Also like the 144,000 elect Israelites, our members are a finite number which explains why most of our ministry (Revelation 10:8-11) is to souls who are imprisoned now (II Timothy 3:1-13; 4:1-4). Hence the Capstone of the pyramid is honed to razor sharpness such that there can be no deviation to the right or to the left from the true path of righteousness, which is faith. To make our calling and election sure our faith must be honed to perfection to display the Token of the Life and faith of Jesus Christ to manifest that we are the Sons of God and operate the ‘third pull’ in a ministry just like His to receive translation grace (John 5:19; Romans 8:19; Ephesians 1:1-20).

Let us therefore apply God’s revealed Word as our paradigm and measuring rod, NOT what satisfies our ten mortal senses which we must bring under submission to the Word, or the approbation of unregenerate mankind. Doubtless every individual in the school assembly was an outstanding natural man or woman. However this apparent idyllic harmony of a diverse group of sincerely misguided nominal Christians was designed to create a strong delusion that people should believe the lie that God loves us all, and He surely won’t destroy a churchgoer. Thus the sleeping virgin are being seduced “as the Serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so their minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ so they should heed one who preaches a Jesus other than the Logos Paul has preached, or receive another spirit, or another gospel [like the gospel of multiculturalism] which was not delivered by Paul” (II Corinthians 11:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9; II Thessalonians 2:11). We are not to be unevenly yoked together with unbelievers (Matthew 25:6; II Corinthians 6:17; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 10:7).

Brother Branham said, “I think of that colored minister who stood down there that day in Shreveport and said, “I never was ashamed of being a black man. God made me a black man, and I appreciate my Creator making me this way. It’s the way He wanted me.” But said, “Today, to see my people acting the way they are, then I’m ashamed I’m a black man.” God bless his loyal heart. Certainly.”

“What good would a white woman want to have a baby by a colored man making him a mulatto child? It’s not sensible. If God wanted a man brown, black, white, whatever color He wanted him, that’s God’s creation. That’s the way he wanted it. He wants white flowers, blue flowers; God’s a God of variety. He likes big mountains, little mountains, deserts, plains, white, black, short, fat, and indifferent. God’s a God of variety.”

“If I was a colored man, or a brown man, or a yellow man, or a red man, I would be just as happy about it. Yes, sir. I sure would. That’s the way that my Maker wanted me and that’s the way I am. Right. Why does man want to tamper with anything for? When man gets into it, he ruins it. Let it alone the way God made it. Let a man be what he is; by the grace of God let him be.”

“But he has to cause great fusses now . . . causing riots, and big fusses, and everything else across the nations, and across the world just because he wanted to stick his head out about something. That’s the ignorance of the man. That’s right; hybrid again. Instead of leaving it the way God wants it, he wants to make his own way. He has to do something about it, you know. He has to make his own self a name. God be merciful to him. It’s a pitiful thing.”

“All right. Now, the Word that God told Eve then Satan come around and admitted that part of that Word was right, but said, “Surely this part’s not right.” (It wasn’t so from the Beginning, #61-0411).

We must not reason against the revealed Word of God. “When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance [determined in Genesis 10] when He separated the sons of Adam [Genesis 10:1, 5, 32; 11; Acts 17:26-27], He did so in order that Israel should posess a land corresponding to its population” (Deuteronomy 32:8; Genesis 1:11; 10; 11:7-9). The Lord God divided and separated men by nations, kindreds, languages, deserts, seas, mountains, cultures, natural charactistics, and temperaments. And we are to remain separate until the Millennium, thence there will be no marrying and no procreation.

Laying aside the commandment of Genesis 1:28 and 9:1 which is far from fulfilled, it was suggested that the problem is not ‘multiculturalism’ but Islam because the world is already overpopulated and Muslims have eight or more children. I replied, if this be so they are obeying God’s first commandment with blessing.

The notion that Earth is overpopulated is unscriptural propaganda disseminated by the invisible world government in its dual aspects of Finance and Communism whose Goal is World Depopulation and Slavery. They are arranged for Muslim immigration into the once Christian nations to serve as pawns and victims of societal unrest when the ‘hot stage’ of the present World War III erupts between political Zionists and political Islamists as planned in 1871.

In truth Earth could easily accommodate seventy five billion people, we just have to use our land more efficiently. In 1984 economist Thomas Sowell postulated the entire world population (then 4.4 billion) could live comfortably in the state of Texas. He wrote “Every human being on the face of the Earth could be housed in the state of Texas in one-story, single-family homes, each with a front and a back yard. A family of four would thus have 6,800 square feet—about the size of the typical middle-class American home with front and backyards.” According to more recent research on the topic, all of the world’s 1997 population (5.84 billion) could fit on the small Island of Bali in Indonesia (Stiefel 1998). In other words, there is no impending spatial capacity to how many humans could live on planet earth, we just have to develop new technologies that will allow humans to survive in any region of Earth. Look at Russia for instance, if Texas can hold 4.4 billion people how many could the entire nation of Russia accommodate? Tens of billions, we just have to design effective technology to make a region as harsh as Siberia habitable to the average person. Australia is an enormous continent, yet it is sparsely populated. There is no reason the Australian outback could not be developed to the point that outback Australia is as densely populated as the Island of Manhattan. Deserted regions of the world could be transformed into thriving cities (youtube.com).

(1 sq. mile = 5,280 x 5,280 sq. feet = 27,878,400 sq. feet. So 268,581 sq. miles = 7,487,608,550,400 sq. feet. For simplicity say 7.5 x 10^12. That divided by 7 x 10^9 is indeed over 1,000 square feet per person. So if we made one giant one-story compound over Texas, land, water, and all, we would each get a 1,000 square foot unit).

With apologies to Elvis Presley, some cattle stations (ranches) in Australia are “what’s bigger than all of Texas!” In a list of countries and dependencies ranked by human population density, measured by the number of human inhabitants per square mile, Macao ranks #1 with 48,003, China #80 with 363, USA #179 with 83, while Australia is #235 with 7.8 based on 2006 statistics.

I should not be too concerned about population density, for the pyramidal New Jerusalem will have an area of 4,500,000 square miles—almost 17 times the area of Texas. If we assume there will be 100 million Old and New Testament saints, population density will be a little over 22 per square mile. And around the circumference of the renewed Earth, which will have no more sea, I expect hundreds if not thousands of billions of the “saved” will live in “their nations” (Revelation 2:26; 12:5; 15:4; 21:24, 26; 22:2).

Further to my response regarding Muslims having large families, I added that Christians generally have large families and the that Bible does not condone birth control (unless the life of the wife would be endangered were she to bear children). The vocation of wife and motherhood is the highest Divine calling of woman. She is to bring life into the world (Genesis 1:28; 2:20-24; 3:16; Proverbs 12:4; 31:10-31; I Corinthians 11:1-15; Ephesians 5:20-23). Outside of salvation there is nothing better that God could give a man than a Christian wife.

On the matter of birth control, here are some quotations from the Message of Brother Branham:

Question: How do you feel about birth control?

Answer: And there is a possibility of it being done in the right way. I’d say it for general. There is so many days in a woman’s life that she’s not fertile. You understand? All right. Why. . .

Now, there’s sometimes a child would kill a woman; if she had a baby it’d kill her. You want to watch that too. See? So just be real careful about that. See? See, that’s bringing life, so what you’re put here on the earth to do.

If your wife is sickly, and a child would kill her, I wouldn’t do it. I don’t think the Lord wants you to do it. And you come to me personally on them things; have it on private interview. Let me talk to you personally (C.O.D., p. 1111:Q359).

Question: Would you endorse birth control?

Answer: No, I can’t endorse it. No, sir. See? (C.O.D., p. 1177:Q421).

“Today, I want you to notice. Jesus spoke of it. Also if you’d like to read it. Jesus made mention that this thing would come to pass (Did you know that?) in His last hours just before His crucifixion. Let’s just read it. St. Luke the 23rd chapter, and just for a moment like a Sunday school lesson, begin with the 27th verse, I believe I got marked out here: Jesus going to Calvary. Listen as I read it. All right, St. Luke 23:27, I believe is where we have it. My note has got it that way. Yes, here it is.”

“And there followed him a great company of people, and women, which also bewailed and lamented him.”

“But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.”

“For, behold, the days are coming, that they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. [Think today; it's a disgrace for her to have a child. See?]“

“Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall they do in the dry?”

“Speaking of the day that when women wouldn’t no more want children. . . They want a dog or a cat or something like that, but she don’t want children anymore. Why? She’s old Mother Hubbard if she has a child. See? She don’t want. . . That’s the remarks of Hollywood. It don’t want his woman to be an old Mother Hubbard. So she’ll—he’ll have some operation performed to himself, or her, one, that’ll keep them from having children. They don’t want any children.”

“Jesus spoke of it, and what did He say? “At that time they’ll begin to cry for the rocks and the mountains to fall on them.”

“She’ll practice birth control so she can go to parties. She can’t be bothered with a baby nursing her. It’ll disform her. When she’s pregnated, it’ll disform her. She won’t look like she used to. And her husband ignorant enough to let her go that way. She won’t give him a child.”

“Jesus spoke of it. And He said that when they be doing this at that time, “They’ll going to cry again for the rocks to fall on them.” It’s coming of the Lord. They pay great sums of money for cats, dogs to mother. That’s right. She must mother something, because it’s a God-given nature to her” (Invisible Union of the Bride of Christ, p. 18:2 – 19:3).

Yesterday I was listening to the Jewish presenter of The Science Show on our taxpayer-funded national broadcasting system, an important organ for mass public manipulation by the invisible world government in its dual aspects of Finance and Communism. Speaking with a professor of genetics from University College London, on the more senior BBC brain-washing machine, he said: “Okay, let’s now face up to the b-word, ‘balance’, and I must tell you the situation in Australia in the ABC is changed because it used to be a situation where if we had someone saying ‘climate’ we would have, say, 500 different scientists with different aspects of climate science. Then there’s a theory if there was a bit of belligerence that we would have to have a balancing person and there were very few of the critics, numerically there are more working climate scientists than there are critics of the science, far more. And so you could end up with the 1,500 scientists on the one side and one belligerent appearing again and again saying, ‘No, that’s not true.’ What we’ve got now is something where you call the weight of evidence instead. The BBC doesn’t have that, does it”.

Whereas equal time was once given for opposing views—a deception employing Hegelian dialects whereby the strawmen, thesis and antithesis, are brought together in controlled debate to produce a preplanned synthesis that will delude the unthinking majority to see it as a fair, reasonable, democratic and therefore acceptable outcome.

In a blatantly prejudicial explanation of ‘balance’ (with his finger on the scales) the presenter skewed “the weight of evidence instead.” Saying in effect, “We’ll tell you what you will believe.” He was supported by his talent: “objective balance . . . then becomes a disease in broadcast media as a whole and it’s spreading across the world, which is that there is always two sides to every coin, but there aren’t in science.” Unfortunately the example presented as science was the impossibly unscientific lie pushed as ‘climate change’. . . And that happens all the time; climate change, vaccines, GM foods, you name it, it’s always like that, and it drives scientists round the bend, and it’s completely silly. Let’s talk about climate change. I think there is an overwhelming consensus among scientists that climate change is happening. There a slightly less but still overwhelming consensus that it’s due to human activities.” Further disinformation disseminated as ‘science’ in service to the invisible world government in its dual aspects of Finance and Communism.

Isaiah 5:20: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who place darkness as light, and light as darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter”! Small wonder earthlings are so confused on the subjects we have discussed when we are bombarded day and night by lies presented as truth. We must prove all things from Genesis to Revelation: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). nl706.htm

Unbelievable COWARDICE of BEASTIAL US Image to the Beast

US torture room, Abu Ghraib

September 20, 2011 — Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has been stripped of legal immunity for acts of torture against US citizens authorized while he was in office . . . Awareness is growing that Bush-era crimes went far beyond mere waterboarding . . . we’re talking about rape and murder here . . . boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling . . . And the Mayor of London threatened Bush with arrest for war crimes earlier this year should he ever set foot in his city. . . Guards at Bagram routinely kneed prisoners in their thighs . . . It went on over a 24-hour period, and I would think that it was over 100 strikes . . . Dilawar had been chained by the wrists to the top of his cell for much of the previous four days . . . the guards were instructed only to chain the prisoner back to the ceiling. . .

The next time the prison medic saw Dilawar a few hours later, he was dead, his head lolled to one side and his body beginning to stiffen. A coroner would testify that his legs “had basically been pulpified.” The Army coroner, Maj. Elizabeth Rouse, said: “I’ve seen similar injuries in an individual run over by a bus.” She testified that had he lived, Dilawar’s legs would have had to be amputated. Despite the military’s false statement that Dilawar’s death was the result of “natural causes,” Maj. Rouse marked the death certificate as a “homicide” and arranged for the certificate to be delivered to the family. The name Dilawar translates to English roughly as “Braveheart.”

Binyam Mohamed was seized by the Pakistani Forces in April 2002 and turned over to the Americans for a $5,000 bounty. He was held for more than five years without charge or trial in Bagram Air Force Base, Guantánamo Bay, and third country “black” sites. “They cut off my clothes with some kind of doctor’s scalpel. I was naked. I tried to put on a brave face. But maybe I was going to be raped. Maybe they’d electrocute me. Maybe castrate me . . . One of them took my penis in his hand and began to make cuts. He did it once, and they stood still for maybe a minute, watching my reaction. I was in agony. They must have done this 20 to 30 times, in maybe two hours . . . I was in Morocco for 18 months. Once they began this, they would do it to me about once a month. . .

“His genitals were mutilated. He was deprived of sleep and food. He was summarily transported from one foreign prison to another. Captors held him in stress positions for days at a time. He was forced to listen to piercingly loud music and the screams of other prisoners while locked in a pitch-black cell. All the while, he was forced to inculpate himself and others in plots to imperil Americans. The government does not dispute this evidence”. . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Comment: These and thousands of other innocent civilians suffer so Mr. Rothschild can run oil and gas pipe lines through Afghanistan, and so the CIA can source heroin to fund black ops. See how Satanic a nation becomes when it rejects the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Brother Branham said America rejected her last opportunity for national repentance in 1956/7. He called it “the prostitute of the nations,” and said “I don’t even pray for it.” “Home of the brave and land of the free”? I think not! According to the above image of a bloody US torture room in Abu Ghraib, America has yet to match the depraved bloodlust of Jewish bolsheviks wading through rivers of blood a foot deep slaughtering thousands of Christian ministers and believers in Russia. Read about it here, here, and here (Romans 1:18-32).


Judaeo-Communism: Grinding America Down

September 18, 2011 — In 1992, long before he was appointed to the Tenth District of the Idaho State legislature in 2007, Curtis Bowers was a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley. He was asked by a writer friend to attend a meeting at Berkeley sponsored by the Communist Party USA who would be talking about using US public policy to bring down the government of the United States. Fifteen years later Bowers was forced to conclude they had virtually achieved their objective. . . Full story: jonchristianryter.com

Comment: Sixty-one years have passed since Russian delegate to the UN, Dimitri Manuilsky, spoke of “launching the most spectacular peace movement on Record.” The object of this was to be to “put the bourgeoisie to sleep,” so that the final takeover of the entire world by the Communists would succeed through the element of surprise.

This “peace offensive” was launched by Khrushchev in 1956, but passed largely unnoticed because of the dramatic diversion provided by de-Stalinisation. The vital importance of Khrushchev’s speech at the Twentieth Party Congress was that it inaugurated the strategy of “peaceful co-existence” as the means of achieving world-wide Communist dictatorship —an objective which clearly could not be gained by a conventional military confrontation. . . there has been a great deal of Party literature explaining that peaceful co-existence is simply the final strategy of conquest, the outcome of which “will be the triumph of communism throughout the entire world”.

Colonialism, whatever its beginnings, was indeed becoming increasingly benevolent. And anti-colonialism was in its inception an openly declared Communist strategy to bring down European civilization everywhere. . . thus the destruction of the native Africans, according to the Satanic plan to exploit the wealth of Africa in the service of a World Government, is now inevitable unless that World Government is exposed, challenged, and defeated in the little time left before “none dare call it treason”.

Depopulation as a conscious policy emerged in the eighteenth century French revolutions, and re-emerged with the Communist revolution in Russia, China, and elsewhere, and is current in Africa. ‘Decolonisation’ is depopulation on the do-it-yourself principle—currently on view in Nigeria and other African States. ‘Racial’ tensions and conflicts are quite obviously incited and sustained by propaganda, and serve to distract attention from the real conflict in the world, which is cultural. Communism, of course, is not a culture; it is the vehicle for the survival-policy of those ultimately behind it.

The evidence in overwhelming that behind Communist and associated evils there is a self-conscious elite, surviving by appointing its own successors, using war and revolution to keep the population ‘explosion’ at bay until its own power, and hence its survival, is unchallengeable. The attack on religion, morality and the mores of peoples presages what the future holds.

On May 3, 1966, the Portuguese Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alberto Nogueira, issued a statement at a Press Conference. “The African countries, yes; but not their peoples. It is the resources of the African continent which interest not so much the “great powers” as the invisible world government, in its dual aspects of Finance and Communism. The peoples of Africa and of Christian civilization stand in the way of the heart’s desire of the International Conspiracy, so in their millions they must perish to clear the way for the Grand Design.

It should be obvious by now why “the death of Communism” had to be staged. How else could Michael Gorbachev, chief Marxist-Leninist, and agent for the Pharisees of the City of London, be able to base his operations in the world’s chief anti-Communist country? How else would Western leaders consult without alarming their own citizens? How else would the masses be prevented from realizing that the purpose of such consultation is to work out the final details of a Communist world government?

Consider, for example, Gorbachev’s “Churchill” speech of May 6, 1992 in Fulton, Missouri, wherein he called for “global government” under the United Nations; it reads as if it were lifted from the pages of Foreign Affairs (the Journal of the CFR, which it probably was). Consider also the following statements of Mikhail Gorbachev, former General Secretary of the Communist Party and “President” of the Soviet Union, taken from his speeches and his book, Perestroika. These certainly are well known to the “best and the brightest,” the CFR “wise men”; yet they have either hidden them or have explained them away because they do not comport with the false images of Gorbachev, Russia, and “perestroika” now being foisted on the American public:

• “In October 1917, we parted with the Old World, rejecting it once and for all. We are moving toward a new world, the world of communism. We shall never turn off that road.”

• “We will proceed toward better socialism rather than away from it.”

• “I am now [June 1990], just as I’ve always been, a convinced communist. It’s useless to deny the enormous and unique contribution of Marx, Engels and Lenin to the history of social thought and to modern civilization as a whole.”

• “The concept, the main idea, lies in the fact that we want to give a new lease on life to socialism through perestroika and to reveal the potential of the socialist system. . .”

• “I am a communist, a convinced communist. For some that may be a fantasy. But for me it is my main goal.”

• “Today we have perestroika, the salvation of socialism, giving it a second breath, revealing everything good which is in this system.”

• “We are carrying forth a Marxism-Leninism freed from layers of dogmatism, staleness and short-sighted considerations.”

Gorbachev’s own words and deeds abundantly confirm any sentient being exactly what Anatoliy Golitsyn has said: Gorbachev is no “liberal,” no reformer. He is a dedicated Marxist-Leninist carrying out the Communist long-range strategy of convergence. In his recent essay, “New Priorities for the World,” he declares “it is increasingly clear that the ideological foundations of the Western world are becoming outdated.” Note that it is the ideological foundations of the Western world—not the Marxist world—which are “becoming outdated.”

One evening, during a trip to Moscow early in 1992, as the evening wore on, the wife of my host said, “What if I told you that you will have a black president very soon and he will be a Communist? . . . This is not some idle talk. He is already born and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of Presidents. He is what you call “Ivy League.” You don’t believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. That’s right, a chocolate baby! And he’s going to be your President.”

“It’s all been thought out. His father is not an American black so he won’t have that social slave stigma. He is intelligent and he is half white and has been raised from the cradle to be an atheist and a Communist. He’s gone to the finest schools. He is being guided every step of the way and he will be irresistible to America.” She rattled off a complete litany. He was from Hawaii. He went to school in California. He lived in Chicago. He was soon to be elected to the legislature. “Have no doubt: he is one of us, a Soviet.” America would have to be converted to Communism and Barack was going to pave the way.

Bahrain: Is Washington preparing ‘Regime Change’ in PR Disaster Kingdom?

September 18, 2011 — The persistence of pro-democracy protests in Bahrain in the face of brutal repression may be giving Washington second thoughts about its unwavering support for the royal rulers of the strategically important Persian Gulf kingdom. Are we about to witness a cosmetic ‘regime change’—not so much for the genuine sake of democratic rights in Bahrain, but more to save Washington’s vital interests across the region?

The tiny island situated between Saudi Arabia and Qatar serves as the base for the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet. The Fifth Fleet, comprising 16,000 personnel and 30 vessels, is a staging ground for US military projection across the Middle East and Central Asia. It also monitors the sealanes of the Persian Gulf through which some 30 per cent of the world’s total supply of traded oil passes every day. . . Apart from the US Fifth Fleet, the US has a free trade agreement with Bahrain, it sells some $20 million in weapons every year to the kingdom, and Bahrain is a financial hub for American and global capital.

Bahrain returned all these favours by lending Washington and its NATO allies diplomatic cover for the military intervention in Libya to oust Muammar Gaddafi. Bahrain, along with the other Gulf monarchies of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, lined up dutifully behind the US/NATO intervention to give it a veneer of Arab approval, and thus head off charges that the aerial bombardment of Libya is a Western imperialist war of aggression. The Gulf Arab monarchies have also performed the same political function of providing diplomatic cover for the US/NATO sanctions and threats of intervention against Syria. . .

The unreformable Bahraini regime thus presents Washington with a thorny problem. Not only is the US government being shown to be on the side of tyrants in Bahrain, but its support of such a regime is exposing a chasm in Washington’s rhetoric about human rights in Libya, Syria and elsewhere across the Middle East. Bahrain may only be a tiny territory, but the reality of state terror and repression against unarmed civilians is blowing a huge hole in the US facade of protecting human rights and democratic freedom. . . We shouldn’t be surprised therefore if the US Air Force is loading gold bullion for the hasty departure of King Hamad to Saudi Arabia. . . Full story: globalresearch.ca


Media Collusion with Bilderberg Group confirms Hidden Agenda

Comment: Just about all US Bilderberg members belong to the Council on Foreign Relations. Hardly one person in 1000 ever heard of the Council on Foreign Relations. Why isn’t the CFR in the History Books? bilderberg.org


Carbon Tax

September 18, 2011 — Despite a specific election promise that “There will be no carbon tax”, Australia is about to get a carbon tax mess so complex it takes 19 bills to document it. In an underhand move, they have revealed quietly that all public submissions on these massive bills must be made in just one week . . . just one week to read and comment on over 1,100 pages of legislation. They have also decided to cancel public hearings . . .

The second stage of the carbon battle will start if they manage to force these bills through both houses of parliament. They can still be destroyed before they take effect in June 2012. To do that we need control of parliament to change—by a defection or a by-election. The final stage of the Carbon Tax War (which we hope not to see) will come if these bills become law. Using a number of underhand tricks and many related handouts, the government is trying to ensure that no future government can repeal these bills. Why these Bills should be resisted, rejected and, if needs be, repealed.

Comment: This is extremely important. The Carbon Tax is a Scam of the international banksters of the ‘City of London’ to introduce a carbon currency (or entitlement), and is part of the United Nations’ Agenda 21 to return the whole world to serfdom by restricting individual entitlement to energy. This will destroy industry and bankrupt all nations because without production they will be unable to meet financial obligations. This is part of the program of massive world depopulation and will produce worldwide famine as foretold in the Fourth Seal which opened in 1906 and continues to the commencement of the Great Tribulation (Revelation 6:7-8) because without energy agricultural production will fail. The US is presently introducing “Smart Grid” which enables real time control over energy, water and natural gas, distribution and consumption, on a local, national and global basis. It will monitor and control ALL electrical and electronic products in every household and business using WIFI, and manufacturers are incorporating compatible technology in appliances.


Mel Gibson to make Film on the Machabees

September, 2011 — Traditional Catholic producer-director-actor Mel Gibson has decided to produce another traditional Biblical epic. His subject this time will be the Old Testament hero Judas Machabeus. . . He believes that the story of the Machabees parallels that of the Modern Church, that is, the Newchurch of the New Order, and he thinks that the movie will help force change to that corrupt organization, which has lost the true Faith. . .

Warner Bros. will underwrite the drama that teams Gibson and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, who will write the script with Gibson’s collaboration. Gibson has first option to direct the film, but will definitely produce it through his Icon Productions banner. The history of the Machabees, father and four brothers, is told in the First and Second Book of the Machabees in the Old Testament. The Machabees led a revolt against those who had shut down the Holy Sacrifice in the second century BC and were fighting against their fellow Jews, sellouts to the Alexandrian pagans. These secular Jews practiced Greek (nude) sports in a gymnasium in close proximity to the Temple. Even the secular Jewish priests became addicted to the games. Many Jews, rejecting their faith, had the marks of circumcision removed to avoid being recognized as Jews in the baths or the gymnasium. As the First Book of Machabees (1:15-16) tells the story:

 

“And they [the Jewish sellouts] built a place of exercise in Jerusalem, according to the laws of the nations [pagans]. And they made themselves prepuces and departed from the holy covenant and joined themselves to the heathens and were sold to do evil”.

 

Even though the Machabees were Old Testament Jews, secular Jews are already condemning the film that tells of their own history. The latest traitor to his own faith is secular Jew, Rabbi Marvin Hier, the dean and founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. It seems that Hier is far from tolerant himself. The script hasn’t even been written!

Gibson courageously stood up against some two years of constant battering by the likes of the hypocrite Abraham Foxman, of the Sons of the Jewish Covenant (B’nai B’rith). Foxman in fact owed his life to a French Catholic couple who took him in during the persecutions of the Second World War. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Deadline New York]. Even now, it took only a few hours for Abraham Foxman and Rabbi Heir to lash out at the prospect of the film, and to ask Jews to boycott it. Full story: traditio.com

Vatican, Lutherans preparing Document on Reformation

September. 2011 — According to the Vatican official on ecumenism, the Church and the World Lutheran Federation are preparing a Joint Declaration on the Reformation, in view of the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s 95 Theses. Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, announced this in an interview with the German Catholic agency KNA. In this context, Vatican Radio reported Monday that Benedict XVI wants his Sept. 22-25 trip to Germany to have an ecumenical focus. The Catholic-Lutheran document will ‘analyze the Reformation in the light of 2,000 years of Christianity,’ noted Vatican Radio. ‘The joint commemoration of this anniversary could be the occasion for a mutual mea culpa,’ the report suggested. For Cardinal Koch, ‘a common purification of the memory’ is necessary. . .

Zechariah Chapters Ten and Eleven

Zechariah chapter ten is an expansion of the prophecy in the foregoing chapter. The Judahites are called to forsake their teraphim idolatry and petition the Lord in prayer. First there is the promise of rain, which He alone can send in response to faith and fruitful seasons as promised in 9:17. Please follow in your own Bible.

“Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain [in mid-February, which is Spring in Israel]; the Lord makes the thunderbolts and storm clouds and gives everyone who asks rain in abundance with vegetation in every field.”

Rain is a symbol of temporal and Spiritual blessings. We are awaiting the latter rain, a Spiritual outpouring like the former or teaching rain that came upon Israelites on the day of Pentecost and upon Christ’s end-time Bride through the ministry of Brother Branham that restored the heart of those predestinated to be Christ’s end-time Bride back to the faith of their apostolic fathers by the revelation of the Seven Thunder mysteries hidden under the Seven Seals (Malachi 4:5-6; Revelation 10:1-7). Brother Branham said the latter or harvest rain will sweep the world causing every soul to manifest the nature of the seed sown therein. The Judaeo-Catholic seed will bear Judaeo-Catholic fruit, Judaeo-Communist seed will bear after its kind: “he who is filthy will be filthy still, and he who is righteous will be righteous still, and he who is holy will be holy still” (Genesis 1:11; Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43). Christ’s end-time Bride will manifest that she is the Word for her Age (Romans 8:19), and the two Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11 will be anointed to pour out the former or teaching rain on 144,000 elect Israelites (Joel 2:23; Daniel 12:10).

At the close of the Gentile dispensation an earthquake cleaving the mount of Olives will destroy the Dome of the Rock on Mount Moriah, igniting the ‘hot stage’ of World War III. Then Jerusalem will be invaded, her women raped, homes and businesses looted, and the spoil divided in the city (Zechariah 14:1-2; Revelation 12:15-16). Consequently the Khazars will desert Israel en masse, returning to Poland, Russia, Germany, France, Hungary, Italy, USA, and the UK. Jerusalem will be divided between East and West, the Palestinians will establish their sovereign state, and the remnant of God’s people (Isaiah 11:11) [genuine blood Israelites who have remained in exile "for fear of the Jews" will return for their redemption to the land of the Covenant which their sworn enemy (Genesis 27:39-41) has abandoned] and shall not be cut off from the old city of Jerusalem.

Satan will be cast down to Earth to incarnate the pope of the Judaeo-Roman Universal church and great tribulation will envelop a world ruled by Rome and her US image. Russia will invade and occupy the earthquake-devastated US with Los Angeles and much of the west coast sunk beneath the Pacific as Brother Branham prophesied, the antitype of Capernaum which was sunk by earthquake beneath the Sea of Galilee in answer to Jesus’ prophecy (Matthew 11:23; Luke 10:15-16). Under martial law following this global convulsion of nature the wise and foolish virgin will be persecuted for their witness warning familiars and strangers against the mark of the beast, and forbidden by the world church system from conducting services or even praying for the sick without affiliation. (This has been happening for years in the military and US prisons where I had to visit on the coat tails of the Gideons. Now house churches are being required to hold a permit). Quickly we will be made a hunted and persecuted little group with no resources but the Word of God and prayer, causing us to resort to the ‘third pull,’ God’s response to which will elevate our faith to receive translation grace and change in the atoms. Thereafter the Devil-incarnate Pope will unite the Judaeo-Roman denominations and all religions to restore peace and be acclaimed president of one world government.

The call to prayer is contrasted with the idol-worship which had brought judgments on the princes and people. “For the idols have spoken vanity and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd. My anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the he-goats: for the Lord of hosts has visited His flock the house of Judah, and has made them as His goodly horse in the battle. Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together”.

Teraphim were household gods worshipped by Abram’s kinfolk in Mesopotamia (Joshua 24:14). Possession of the teraphim was the equivalent to holding title to the family estate. So when Jacob departed with Rachel, she stole her father Laban’s teraphim (Genesis 31:30-35), small images in human form (I Samuel 19:13-17) used for divination in place of the Urim Thummim alongside the worship of Jehovah (Hosea 3:4). There was a preponderance of diviners and false prognosticators before the overthrow of Israel, and then Judah (Jeremiah 27:9; Ezekiel 22:28). As a consequence the Lord sent them into exile and until the advent of Jesus Messiah they were without a ruler in the Davidic line.

Owing to idolatry the Northern kingdom was dissolved and her subjects dispersed throughout the Assyrian empire where they dwell to this day. When Judah followed Israel into trinitarian idolatry she lost her Davidic king “until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled,” that is, from Nebuchadnezzar’s invasion to the consummation (Luke 21:24). So the people of all twelve tribes were without a true shepherd and came under subjection to heathen governors whom the Lord calls “shepherds” and “he-goats” as they lead the lambs to the slaughter. The Lord punished the he-goats in a military struggle and as in 9:13 He called Judah His bow and Ephraim His arrow; here he calls Judah “His goodly horse in the battle” and “His flock.” The blessings promised in answer to prayer included rulers coming out of themselves—the Maccabees, Judah’s governors and deliverers from Antiochus—typifying Messiah’s future deliverance of the nation, the conquest of their foes, and restoration and establishment of both Israel and Judah in their own land in lasting peace and piety.

“Out of Judah came forth the corner, out of Judah the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.” The word “corner” signifies a governor (I Samuel 14:38; Isaiah 19:13; 28:16). Judah will no longer be subject to foreigners, but from itself will come every one of its rulers. The reference is primarily to the Maccabees, Judah’s governors and deliverers from Antiochus the oppressor, and a type of Messiah. On them will hang all the glory and hope of Israel as on the large ornamental nail built into the wall of oriental tents hung most of its valuable furniture.

Messiah is the Antitype and Corner-stone who stays and binds together the Church of both Judahites and Gentiles. “And they shall be as mighty men, who tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded. And I will strengthen the house of Judah [the southern kingdom], and I will save the house of Joseph [the northern Kingdom], and I will bring them again to place them [for redemption in the land of the Covenant]; for I have compassion upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them.” Judah will not need foreign soldiery as Messiah shall be her battle-bow. They are made Jehovah’s war horse, and so tread down the foe with all His cavalry into the mire (Ezekiel 38:4; Daniel 11:40), which was the chief strength of the Syro-Grecian army (I Maccabees 3:39; 4:1).

In verse 6 Judah and Joseph comprehend the whole House of Israel that is to be completely restored in the land of the Covenant: NOT in 1948 but in the latter half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week, hastening the glorious final consummation under Messiah. Jehovah will hear them and they shall rejoice in the Lord who has given them victory over the foe.

“Then Ephraim shall be like a mighty warrior, and their hearts shall be glad as with wine: their children shall see it, and rejoice; their hearts shall exalt in the Lord. I will whistle for them to gather together, for I have redeemed them: and they shall be many as of old”.

The metaphor is of the shepherd whistling to control his flocks. In Scripture it is always God, as the Great Shepherd who whistles (Judges 5:16; Isaiah 5:26; 7:18, etc.). This is the Good News of Jesus Messiah for Ephraim, and speaks of the restoration of the whole house of Israel in the first half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week. “Their children” speaks of the elect of the northern Tribes as qualified by Isaiah 54:13: “And all your children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of your children”.

Isaiah’s “all” is qualified by John 6:44-45: “No man can come to Me, except the Father who has sent Me draws him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets: And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes to Me.” So Isaiah’s “all” is restricted to an election who recognize their day and its Message, as the blessing or new birth in each of the seven Church Ages was to those with a Spiritual ear to hear what the Spirit was saying to the Churches. Again, Jesus said: “My sheep receive My Word and will not follow a stranger” (John 10:1-5).

The Lord will gather His scattered people back to Palestine (Zechariah 10:10; Isaiah 5:26; Ezekiel 36:11). And the utter downfall of the Northern kingdom, so long before that of Judah, will have removed every political reason for maintaining the ancient disruption, and all the circumstances of this coming time will incline the tribes to coalesce again as one people as foretold in Ezekiel 36:11.

Zechariah 10:9-12, “Though I have sown them among the nations in far countries they will remember Me, and return to Israel with their children” (Ezekiel 37:14). The wide dispersion just before Christ’s first Coming prepared the way for the apostles’ preaching in synagogues throughout the world; and everywhere some Old Testament seed had been sown it was ready to germinate when New Testament Light and heat were brought to bear on it by Gospel preachers. Thus the way was opened for entrance among the Gentiles.

“I will bring them back from the land of Egypt, and gather them from Assyria to the land of Gilead and Lebanon [the former home of the ten tribes on either side of the Jordan], till there is no room for them” because of their increase. This refers to the imminent restoration of the Israelites to the Land of the Covenant in the first half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week. As of old, God gloriously vindicated His people in the passage through the Red Sea, so now He will He make a way through every obstacle that opposes Israel’s restoration (Isaiah 11:11-16; Revelation 16:12). “And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in His Name [Jesus Messiah, the Son of God]“.

These last four verses describe a far greater blessing than the victories of the Maccabees: Spiritual blessings couched in terms borrowed from the old experience of the people. The drying up of the Red Sea, the humiliation of Assyria, and the overthrow of Egypt set forth the removal of all obstacles impeding a Spiritual return to God. Perhaps you have recognized this is being fulfilled daily in the news. The hour is exceedingly late. But 2,000 years before this event takes place Israel would reject her Davidic King Messiah and be rejected herself while Christ calls His Gentile Bride; our dispensation will soon end with the resurrection of the sleeping saints followed by the manifestation and translation of the living Sons of God.

After tracing the distresses of Israel in their apostasy, chapter 9 set forth their deliverance through military conflicts in which “the Lord shall appear above them [because He fights from heaven on their behalf].” The victory of the Maccabees is followed by a substantial increase in population within the dispersed of Israel and among the Judeans, so here in chapter 10 we saw Judah charged to put away idolatry and return to the Lord in repentance and prayer with the promise of millennial blessings. So in our study thus far we have found Zechariah’s prophecies of Judah’s return from the Captivity to Christ’s first Coming fulfilled in history, with glimpses of Christ’s millennial reign as the Son of David.

Chapter 11 concludes the announcement of Zechariah’s first “burden” of God’s judgment upon Israel begun in chapter 9 and presents a marked contrast to the previous two chapters, which were full of encouragement for the Judeans who were reconstructing the temple, for although they speak much of conflict, the Covenant people are represented as victorious. After foretelling Judah’s protection from Alexander, and with a passing glance at Zion’s future King Messiah, the triumphs of the Maccabees and the recovery of their former national strength and prestige, Zechariah proceeds to lift the veil from the final outcome of Jewish obduracy, and it’s terrible results, in order that the faithful should take alarm in time, and earnestly draw near to God that they not be overtaken by the substance of the Divine judgment upon the unfaithful prophesied in the long chapters of Moses (Deuteronomy 28-32).

Zechariah 11:1-3, “Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire [of invasion by Imperial Rome] may devour your cedars. Wail, O cypress trees, for the cedar has fallen, the glory of the trees is ruined: Wail, O oaks of Bashan [in Syria], for the thick forest has been felled! Hear the cries of the shepherds; for their glory is despoiled [in the natural, their flock on which they are dependent]: hear the roaring of young lions [driven by the flames from their favourite lair, the thickets on the river banks known as] the pride of Jordan is laid waste. [In the antitype it is the Temple and Jerusalem that are razed and wasted under the successful siege of General Titus in AD70]“.

In a metaphor, the first three verses symbolize a whirlwind of flame sweeping through the entire land, laying waste to mountain and plain, forests and meadows, and drying up even rivers and streams. Men and beasts—Judah’s civil and religious leaders and those they are supposed to shepherd are overtaken and together raise a cry of despair. Natural Israel had enjoyed peculiar privileges under the Covenant, but neglected the accompanying responsibilities. Amos 3:2-3, “You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities”.

This puts us in mind of the united States of America, the now apostate vanguard of Christendom, and the terminal fate prophesied upon that terrorist nation and rogue state, other colonies and occupied nations for subordinating themselves to the Banksters of the City of London’s Israel, and to Vatican City State. “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” Israel types the United States. Repeatedly in the course of their previous history God had visited Israel with His rod, but there had always been a recovery. War, pestilence or famine; or they were sold into the hand of their enemies for shorter or longer periods to execute His wrath. But in the end the rod was lifted and sadly they resumed their former condition. Now, however, there was to be a final act of judgment summing up all that had gone before and filling the wrath of God upon obdurate impenitence. Like the last of Brother Branham’s seven major continuous visions which was one “wherein I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters, and smoke all over the land of America”.

Zechariah 11:4-14, “Thus says the Lord My God; [in pantomime personate Me as Shepherd and] feed the flock doomed to slaughter; whose buyers slay them, and hold themselves not guilty; while those who sell them say, Blessed be the Lord; for I am rich: and their own shepherds have no pity on them. For I will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of the land, says the Lord: but I will cause every man to fall into the hand of his neighbour and into the hand of his king: and they will turn the land into a wilderness, and I will not deliver it from their hand.”

“So I became the shepherd of the flock destined for slaughter, even the poor of the flock. And I took two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. In one month I cut off three shepherds. My soul became impatient with them, and their soul detested Me. Then I said I will no longer shepherd you. What is to die, let it die; what is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the remainder eat the flesh of another.”

And during the siege of Titus, parents did their own children according to prophecy (Deuteronomy 28:55; Jeremiah 20:9; Lamentations 4:10). Josephus tells of a certain Mary who, “snatching up her son, who was a child sucking at her breast, she said, “O thou miserable infant! for whom shall I preserve thee in this war, this famine, and this sedition? As to the war with the Romans, if they preserve our lives, we must be slaves. This famine also will destroy us, even before that slavery comes upon us. Yet are these seditious rogues more terrible than both the other. Come on; be thou my food, and be thou a fury to these seditious varlets, and a by-word to the world, which is all that is now wanting to complete the calamities of us Jews.” As soon as she had said this, she slew her son, and then roasted him, and eat the one half of him, and kept the other half by her concealed. Upon this the seditious came in presently, and smelling the horrid scent of this food, they threatened her that they would cut her throat immediately if she did not show them what food she had gotten ready. She replied that she had saved a very fine portion of it for them, and withal uncovered what was left of her son. Hereupon they were seized with a horror and amazement of mind, and stood astonished at the sight, when she said to them, “This is mine own son, and what hath been done was mine own doing! Come, eat of this food; for I have eaten of it myself! Do not you pretend to be either more tender than a woman, or more compassionate than a mother; but if you be so scrupulous, and do abominate this my sacrifice, as I have eaten the one half, let the rest be reserved for me also.” After which those men went out trembling, being never so much affrighted at any thing as they were at this, and with some difficulty they left the rest of that meat to the mother. Upon which the whole city was full of this horrid action immediately; and while every body laid this miserable case before their own eyes, they trembled, as if this unheard of action had been done by themselves. So those that were thus distressed by the famine were very desirous to die, and those already dead were esteemed happy, because they had not lived long enough either to hear or to see such miseries.”

“This sad instance was quickly told to the Romans, some of whom could not believe it, and others pitied the distress which the Jews were under; but there were many of them who were hereby induced to a more bitter hatred than ordinary against our nation. But for Caesar, he excused himself before God as to this matter, and said that he had proposed peace and liberty to the Jews, as well as an oblivion of all their former insolent practices; but that they, instead of concord, had chosen sedition; instead of peace, war; and before satiety and abundance, a famine. That they had begun with their own hands to burn down that temple which we have preserved hitherto; and that therefore they deserved to eat such food as this was. That, however, this horrid action of eating an own child ought to be covered with the overthrow of their very country itself, and men ought not to leave such a city upon the habitable earth to be seen by the sun, wherein mothers are thus fed, although such food be fitter for the fathers than for the mothers to eat of, since it is they that continue still in a state of war against us, after they have undergone such miseries as these. And at the same time that he said this, he reflected on the desperate condition these men must be in; nor could he expect that such men could be recovered to sobriety of mind, after they had endured those very sufferings, for the avoiding whereof it only was probable they might have repented” (Wars of the Jews, VI,3:4-5).

“And I took My staff, Beauty, and hacked it apart, to break the covenant which I had made with all the people. It was broken in that day: and the wretched among the sheep, who were watching Me, knew that it was the Word of the Lord. Then I said to them, If it seems right to you, give Me My wage; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for My wages thirty pieces of silver. And the Lord told Me [not without irony]: Cast it to the potter—a magnificent price so highly esteemed and precious am I in their sight. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter [or image-maker] in the house of the Lord. [Therefore in verse 17 He calls Judah's priesthood "idol shepherds"]. Then I hacked apart My other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel”.

Picture Zechariah in your mind as he rehearses this pantomime before the people here and there as he moves about the towns and villages in Judah.

Before the consummation of this great act of judgment upon Judah, the Lord determined to make one final effort to save the wretched people and commands Zechariah to act out the ministry of the rejected Jesus Messiah in the office of the Good Shepherd with two staves, to guide, defend, rule and lead Israel and Judah to green pastures and still waters. He seeks to rid them of false leaders and win them to ways of truth and right. The Good Shepherd loves His sheep and when He came He expected that He would be loved and received by them in return, but instead He is despised and rejected by a people who demand His blood and prefer the life of the murderer Barabbas, and Caesar’s heathen rule to that of Messiah their King (Isaiah 53:3; Matthew 27:15-21; John 19:15). His attempt is in vain because of their obdurate wickedness, and results in a mutual recoil. He loathes them, and they abhor Him. Compelled by their ingratitude, He breaks His two staves in token that all is over. Thus Israel is a flock doomed to perish in the Divine judgment, their national inheritance and “the kingdom of God taken from them and given to a nation bringing forth its fruits. And whoever shall fall on this [Cap or Corner] stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it falls, it will grind him to powder” (Matthew 21:33-46). As Judge the Stone falls upon unbelievers who, running against and falling over the Word, make Him a Spiritual offence and stumbling block (Isaiah 8:14; I Peter 2:6-8). They will be spiritually dismembered in individual reprobation as Israel was demolished. Whoever Christ the Stone falls upon in judgment will be ground to powder, reduced to his elements and annihilated (Daniel 2:34-35).

Their buyers who slaughter them are “not guilty” since they are executing what is the righteous punishment of God, as against Jeremiah 2:3 where it appears that Israel was holy and none could injure them without incurring guilt. Their sellers making merchandise of the people and regarding their profits perfectly honest, say, “Blessed be the Lord; for I am rich,” These buyers and sellers are their heathen oppressors. And finally, “their own shepherds, [the civil authorities, priests and scribes who], have no pity on them” and spare them not.

As Christ, Zechariah “fed the flock” or set to guide, feed and defend a people so wicked and hardened that they are already ‘cherem‘ or devoted to slaughter in just retribution for their sinful ways. The passage is analogous to the parable of the wicked husbandman just quoted wherein the Jews, when asked by our Lord what should be the fate of those wicked husbandmen, sealed their own fate and pronounced their own sentence, saying, “They will be miserably destroyed, and the vineyard let out to others, who shall render the fruits in their seasons.”

“In one month [at the terminus of His ministry] Messiah cut off three shepherds,” the aforementioned orders (subsumed in Himself as Prophet, Priest and King) by which Israel was ruled (Matthew 16:21), mentioned in Jeremiah 2:8, 18 as perverters of the nation and the cause of its destruction like their counterparts in Christendom, were “cut off” in the last period of the siege of Jerusalem, when all authority within the city was at an end. Jesus was hailed as Son of David and presented as the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee, while as priest He taught in the Temple (Matthew 21:9-11, 23). When the furious mob, incensed by the “three shepherds” to unthinking hatred against Christ (as today they are incensed against God’s revealed Word, and innocent Islam by false flag terrorism plotted and planned by the same “three shepherds”), gathered before Pilate’s tribunal, shouting: “Away with Him, crucify Him. The Roman governor asked, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered [decisively], We have no king but Caesar” of whom Zechariah, personating Jesus, had said, “I will no longer have compassion on the inhabitants of this land: I will deliver every man into the hand of his neighbour, and into the hand of his king [Caesar]: and they will transform the land into a desert, and I will not deliver them from their hand” (John 19:15; Zechariah 11:6).

These decisive words “cut off the three shepherds” and filled up Israel’s iniquity: “Had I not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty: but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also. Had I not accomplished the works among them which no other man accomplished, they would not be guilty: but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father. They have done this so the Words of their Law might be fulfilled: They hated me without a cause” (Psalm 69:4; John 15:22-25).

After four hundred years without a prophet John the Baptist and Jesus Christ were murdered, since when no prophet has been sent to that nation. Her priesthood was replaced by the priesthood of Jesus Christ to Spiritual Israelites of every nation, tribe, and tongue of Adam’s race, and God sent Titus to destroy the Temple and the Muslims to desecrate Mount Moriah with Al Aqsa Mosque and Es Sakhra, the Dome of the Rock as prophesied by Jesus Christ and (Matthew 24:2) Daniel 9:26. Israel’s King was to have been God Himself but they yearned for a king “born in sin and conceived in iniquity,” whom they could see and touch contact without faith. Their choice was a Hollywood type who was head and shoulders over his kinsmen; he failed. God’s choice was a ruddy-faced little runt named David, a young man of such faith he did not fear to confront and slay the Serpent’s seed Goliath in the Name of the Lord. As the Israelites degenerated spiritually and morally, God chastised them with a view to correction and at the time foretold by the prophets the Lord took human form through the virgin birth as Israel’s King whom Israel repudiated, and “being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God they crucified by wicked hands” (Acts 2:23). Thus Israel was “cut off from her three shepherds,” and from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Do you see the parallel with the apostate churches today who despised and rejected the ministry of Brother Branham which revealed Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, and today, and forever, in the office of Son of Man as foretold in Luke 17:28-30: discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart, restoring sight to the blind, speech and hearing to deaf mutes, casting out demons, making cripples whole, and raising the dead? Do see the reality of “preaching to the total lost”? “For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). That was the Messianic sign that revealed Christ the Word veiled behind the created man in the days of Lot, and behind the flesh of the virgin-born Man in the Gospels.

The Good Shepherd renounced His flock to receive the consequences of its fatal rejection of the means of their own deliverance. Accordingly He broke the staff He named “Beauty,” annulling the Covenant He had hitherto laid upon the enmity of foreign nations (Job 5:23; Hosea 2:18; Ezekiel 34:25). In the day it was broken, the “little flock” who gave heed to the Lord recognized the fulfillment of Scripture (John 10:4-5, 14-15; Jeremiah 32:8). After breaking one, and before breaking the other He asked the Jews for His wages, but only if they were willing to acknowledge and appreciate His pastoral care. That He left the matter to their pleasure—if it seems good”—indicates He served them not for money but in obedience to the Divine will. The wages, however, that were due were heartfelt penitence and faith. But they offered thirty pieces of silver, the compensation for a slave who had been killed or the price for which one could purchase a female slave (Exodus 21:32; Hosea 3:21). Such a contemptuously undervalued offer by the flock was more offensive that a direct refusal, and was indignantly rebuked by the Lord (Matthew 27:9-10 which refers to Jeremiah as he was the original author from whom Zechariah derived the groundwork of the prophecy).

Do you see the parallel in Brother Branham’s ministry whereby he indicted the Great harlot of Rome and her once Protestant daughters, commanding the wise and foolish virgin, “Come out of Babylon that you do not partake of her sins, and receive of her plagues” (Revelation 18:4)? When the denominations rejected Brother Branham’s Elijah ministry they “cut off three shepherds”: Prophet, Priest and King. For His priesthood as Mediator in the Office of Son of God was fulfilled at the close of the Laodicean Church Age as confirmed in Revelation 4 and 5, and they simultaneously rejected His Office of Son of Man and His coming Kingship. Brother Branham’s ministry thus “proclaimed the day of vengeance of our God” (Isaiah 61:2; Malachi 4:6; Revelation 18:4).

The Good Shepherd then broke the second staff named “Bands,” signifying the loss of fraternal unity, represented under the disruption of the nation into two hostile entities in the days of Jeroboam of Israel and Rehoboam of Judah, and the severance of the tribes will continue until their reunion and martyrdom in the first half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week (Romans 11:15; Revelation 7:1-8). Now the scene changes, and instead of personating the wise and kind Good Shepherd, Zechariah is told to play the part of a worthless shepherd, or ruling power, and the gentle crooks, Beauty and Bands, are replaced by knives and battle axes. The flock, so far from being fed, guided and guarded, is torn and devoured, and then at last its misguided rulers are smitten and palsied.

We come now to the Gentile dispensation—2,000 years during which God’s Covenant with Israel is breached because to preserve their social standing her shepherds sold Him to Satan incarnate in Judas Iscariot such was their unbelief (Matthew 26:14-16; John 13:2). John 11:47-50, “The chief priests and the Pharisees summoned the Sanhedrin and said: What shall we do, for this Man does many miracles? If we let Him go on this way, everyone will believe on Him: and the Romans will come and take away both our holy place and nation. But one of them, Caiaphas, the high priest that year, said to them, You know nothing at all, you do not understand that it is expedient for you to have one man die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish”.

Zechariah 11:15-17, “The Lord said to me: Take again the implements of a worthless shepherd. For I am raising up in the land a shepherd who does not care for the perishing, nor seek the scattered, or heal the wounded: even the healthy he will not sustain: but the flesh of the fat he will eat, even their hoofs he will tear off [indicating the ferocious greed of the shepherds who will rend the extremities to extract their "pound of flesh"]. Woe to the worthless shepherd who forsakes the flock! The sword shall be upon [the strength of] his arm and [the vigilance of] his right eye: his arm shall be totally withered, and his right eye utterly blinded”.

The “worthless shepherd” will be Satan Himself, cast down to Earth and incarnate in the pope of Rome with whom Jewry will covenant when he restores peace following the brief ‘hot stage’ of the present World War III (Daniel 7:8-11; 8:9-27; 9:27), and the world will acclaim him president of one world government. When Jesus said: “I have come in My Father’s Name, and you receive Me not: if another comes in his own name, you will accept Him,” He was speaking of Israel’s false messiah (John 5:43). In Matthew 24:21-23 He said: “[After the destruction of the Temple there] will be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened [because they will be translated]. Then if any man tells you, Look, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.” Because, as He goes on to explain, His second Coming to the Church, and later to Israel will NOT be the physical ‘erchomai’ return of the glorified Jesus but the ‘parousia’ Coming of Christ in W_O_R_D form.

In Revelation 13:1-8 Jesus identifies the pope of Rome, a man incarnate by Satan whom the whole world will worship as the false messiah. “. . . all the world wondered after the beast. And [vicariously] worshipped the dragon [Satan] for he has given his authority to the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying: Who is like the beast, and who is able to make war against him? . . . And he was allowed to make war on the saints, and to overcome them [in martyrdom]: and power was given him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. And all who dwell on the earth whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world will worship him.” And in Revelation 17:11 Jesus identifies this beast as “the eighth, and is of the seven [previous Roman rulers who were deified], and goes into perdition”.

Isaiah 14:13-14 identifies Israel’s false messiah as Lucifer, who will usurp the dedication of the Third Temple in Jerusalem and be worshipped as God, “I will sit in the mount of the congregation [of Israel], in the sides of the North: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High,” a prophecy confirmed by Paul in II Thessalonians 2:1-12. “The Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to meet Him [in the Air] . . . will be preceded by universal apostasy (Matthew 25:6; II Timothy 3-4; Revelation 3:17-20; 18:4) and the revelation of that man of sin, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god that is worshipped, so that he seats himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God . . . For the mystery of iniquity is already at work: only the Holy Spirit who now restrains it will do so until He is taken out of the way in the translation of His end-time Bride. Then that Wicked One will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the Spirit of the Spirit, or spoken Word, and destroy with the brightness of His Coming. . .”

In Luke 19:41-44, Jesus wept over Jerusalem, “Saying, If only you knew that eternal peace was within your reach! But now it is hidden from your eyes. For the time is coming when your enemies will throw up ramparts, and build a trench, and encircle you, and besiege you on every side, and lay you and your children even with the ground; and will not leave one stone upon another; because you knew not the time of your Divine visitation”.

In response to the unanimous pleas of the Jews—“Messiah’s Blood be on us and upon our children”—the ruin of Jerusalem and Judea was overwhelming (Matthew 26:25). To this day they are ruled by worthless shepherds, impersonators sworn to kill the Covenant people (Genesis 27:39-41) and any who disagree with them. God often uses instruments which He afterwards destroys, and He will destroy the children of Cain whom He set at enmity with Adam’s race. How many are “idol shepherds” in the circle of this Message? Foolish ministers with the audacity to invite Christ-rejecting Talmudic rabbis promoting the construction of Jerusalem’s third Temple and the restoration of animal sacrifices to speak from their pulpits. Both of these objectives are patent blasphemy; that is a manifestation of their blindness (Revelation 3:17-20).

What Rome did to Israel Jewry will do to the world in Armageddon. Israeli Professor Martin Levi van Creveld declared, “We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: ‘Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.’ We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that this will happen before Israel goes under.” Golda Meir stated, “If ever Israel was in danger of being defeated on the battlefield, it would be prepared to take the region and even the whole world down with it.” Their international banksters have accomplished this already with their Babylonian fractional reserve system of usury, which is forbidden by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who has provided a way to rid modern Israel of a great many self-styled Jews so that the 144,000 elect Israelites can safely return to the land of their Covenant for redemption. Jesus spelled it out in Revelation 12:15-16.

Wicked rulers are the curse of God upon a wicked nation; not only upon Israel, for the United States, Australia and every nation is being chastised by God, because by placing materialism above Christ we have sold principle, soul and nation to the sons of Cain. Politics ought not to be separated from the one true faith for faith tends to prevent the election of such rulers. Thus “the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now, waiting in earnest expectation for the manifestation of the Sons of God” (Romans 8:19, 22). nl705.htm

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani

Please remember our Brother Youcef Nadarkhani imprisoned in Iran.

He is sentenced to death on the spurious charge of apostasy for converting to Christianity. Although Islam was the family religion he was in fact never a Muslim. The Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic of Iran has ordered the local court to examine whether our Brother was a practicing Muslim from the age of accountability, which they reckon as 15 years, until the time he became a Christian at the age of 19 years. The re-examinaton will take place on September 25, 2011. Once the matter has been reviewed the case it will be referred back to the Supreme Court for a final decision.


‘Gaddafi’s Billions’ and Financial Terrorism?

September 11, 2011 — The rebels’ Transitional National Council captured the Central Bank of Libya, and announced the sale of 29 tons of gold to “provide citizens with wages.” The new head of the Central Bank Ghassem Azzoz also pointed out that the bank’s assets were fully preserved during the war, nothing has been stolen! Nothing! And nothing has been removed!

It is striking that as it turned out, “the corrupt tyrant” (as the “revolutionaries” had to admit, and this is worth a lot) was not tempted even by a gram of gold owned by the people. Not a gram!

However, knowing about the Colonel what we, friends of Libya, learned about him over the past six months, there’s nothing strange about it. Another thing is surprising. So let’s talk about it. . . Full story: Gaddafi’s billions

Comment: NATO countries stole Libya’s gold and replaced it with paper dinars.

The plundering of Gaddafi’s privacy backfires! Gadaffi was a noble, humble and honest man who lived in a tent. The US image of the beast is even now killing as the Bible foretold. It is later than you think or dare imagine.


NATO’s “Victory” in Libya: Genocide and Rebel Infighting

September 11, 2011 — Desperate to declare NATO’s mission in Libya a victory ahead of the September 19, 2011 deadline on their contrived UN Security Council resolution, already violated in every conceivable manner possible, NATO planes in tandem with NATO special forces obliterated Tripoli ahead of swarms of Libyan rebel troops led by notorious al Qaeda thug Abdulhakim Hasadi (aka Balhaj). Three weeks later, NATO’s proxy Libyan representative, long-time globalist and servant of the West Mahmoud Gibril Elwarfally, touched down at Tripoli’s airport, one of the few enclaves held by rebels in the city, to give the impression that his “National Transitional Council” (NTC) actually controls the capital and therefore the country.

In reality, Gibril (also spelled Jabril) is in control of nothing, apparently not even his own rebel forces, and stunts such as landing in Tripoli are desperate ploys to portray a sense of strength and resolve to garner continued “international support” as NATO’s deadline quickly approaches. Libya’s rebellion, despite the corporate-media’s disingenuous presentation, is divided along tribal and ethnic lines, with most of Libya’s rebels being motivated, not by aspirations for liberal-democracy, but rather by ideological extremism cultivated over the last 30 years by US and British intelligence in the eastern cities of Darnah and Benghazi. As NATO enables these violent ideologues to expand their control over the country, they are systematically committing war crimes including large-scale theft and looting, exiling entire civilian populations from cities, and wholesale genocide. They are also reportedly turning their weapons on one another.

To compound Gibril’s precarious situation, the few fighters he has that are following orders are stretched thin between attempting to hold parts of Tripoli, holding other towns and cities beyond their Benghazi stronghold, and attempting to siege entire cities still standing defiantly against NATO and rebel conquest. The cities of Bani Walid and Sirte, both claimed by rebels as ripe to fall “within hours” have now entirely balked rebel advances, causing many forces to flee with reports that fighters coming back from the front lines are overwhelmed and demoralized.

Despite heavy, and quite obviously indiscriminate bombing by NATO for the better part of two weeks, resistance in these two cities is still fierce enough to keep the rebels well at bay. It is quite apparent that initial reports by Gabril’s “NTC” that only 60-150 Qaddafi fighters remained in Bani Walid, were yet another lie and that the entire city’s civilian population is putting up resistance. The number of “resisters” has gone up piecemeal as the rebel operation drags on, with the number of “Qaddafi soldiers” fighting in Bani Walid well past 1,000 now.

Bani Walid is predominately made of members of Libya’s one-million strong Warfalla tribe, and is decidedly not interested in NATO’s sponsored “Benghazi liberation.” In the wake of NATO’s bombing campaign and special forces entering Tripoli and their setting the stage for looting, torture, and genocide, and after months of reporting on the Libyan rebels’ penchant for war crimes, the London Telegraph has finally admitted in short that the rebels are in fact genocidal racists. In the Telegraph’s article “Gaddafi’s Ghost Town after the Loyalists Retreat,” it is reported that rebels have taken the city of Tawarga, where the entire civilian population was either killed or exiled. . .

Lloyd’s sues Saudi Arabia for funding 9/11

September 16, 2011 — A Lloyd’s of London insurance portfolio is suing the Saudi government, Saudi charities and Saudi banks for financing the 9/11 terrorist attacks. On 8th September, Lloyd’s Syndicate 3500 filed suit in the Federal District Court for Western Pennsylvania in Johnstown against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a number of Saudi government-run charities, and two major Saudi banks, demanding at least $215 million in compensation for insurance payments the syndicate made to victims of the 11th September, 2001 attacks. The 154-page suit charged and documented that, without the financial and logistical support of the Saudi government and government-controlled dawas (charities), the 9/11 attacks could not have occurred. . .

The Lloyd’s suit was premised on the argument that, while the costs of the 9/11 attack per se were limited, al-Qaeda had a $35 million-a-year budget that was largely covered by payments from the Saudi Royal Family and allied circles. The suit provided very detailed allegations about the role of the Saudi régime in sponsoring, financing and supporting al-Qaeda over the 13-year period from 1988 through to the 11th September, 2001 attacks. . .

Danny Danon: Send African Migrants to Australia

June 30, 2011 — MK Danny Danon (Likud) asked Australian MP Michael Danby on Wednesday to propose, in parliament in Canberra, sending African migrants from Israel to Australia. Danon and Danby discussed the issue during the Australian politician’s visit to Israel for the World Jewish Congress’s International Conference of Jewish Parliamentarians.

“The arrival of thousands of Muslim infiltrators to Israeli territory is a clear threat to the state’s Jewish identity” . . . “The refugees’ place is not among us, and the initiative to transfer them to Australia is the right and just solution. On the one hand, it treats the refugees and migrants in a humane way. On the other hand, it does not threaten Israel’s future and our goal to maintain a clear and solid Jewish majority”. . . Danon said Danby enthusiastically agreed to present the idea to the Australian Parliament . . .

According to the Knesset’s Research and Information Center, there were 35,638 migrants in Israel as of May. Fewer than 1 percent are recognized by the UN as refugees. Some 61% of the migrants—21,748 people—are Eritrean, however, and categorized as members of a “temporary humanitarian protection group” by the UN, because they cannot be returned safely to their home country due to internal strife.

“Since Australia has a policy of accepting refugees and groups under protection, I would appreciate it if you could promote a solution in which Australia would accept those who seeking refuge,” Danon wrote. Full story: jpost.com

Australian Passports: Male, Female and X

September 15, 2011 — Australian passports will now have three gender options—male, female and x. The new category is only for use by intersex people—who are not biologically entirely male or female. Trangendered passport-holders—who have changed gender but not had surgery—will be free to choose either male or female, but will not be allowed to select ‘x’. Australian Senator Louise Pratt, whose partner was born female and now lives as a man, said the reform was a major coup for people who have trouble when going abroad because their appearance does not match their gender. . .

Zechariah Chapter Nine

Zechariah chapters 9 to 14 foretell the future destiny of the people of the Old Covenant and state how the King of Israel, “despised and rejected,” yields to humiliating and cruel martyrdom by His own people yet overcomes “not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord of hosts,” attracting multitudes to His side in penitence and love, and establishing “His dominion from sea to Sea, and from the River Euphrates to the ends of the Earth” (Zechariah 4:6; 9:10). “Caiaphas the high priest said: It is expedient for us that one Man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. He said this not of his own initiative, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation, and not for that nation only, but to gather into one all the scattered children of God [both Israelites and Gentiles]. And from that day on the Jews laid plans to murder Him” (John 11:49-53).

“All the people said, His blood be upon us and upon our children” (Matthew 27:25): they are still paying “life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot—seven times more” according to their Law (Deuteronomy 19:21; Leviticus 26:14-46). And according to Esau’s oath (Genesis 27:41) the Gentile armies of the Jews’ City of London are hunting Jacob wherever he lives in the ancient Assyrian empire in Iraq, Iran, Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:31).

To clarify the language of our post eighteenth century English Bibles Brother Branham said, “Jew just is a name that was give to them after they left, I believe, Nebuchadnezzar over, begin to call them Jews first because the tribe of Judah was taken then and given a name of Jew. Now . . . Because they came down from Judea and they got the name of Jew. But now, Israel is different. Israel and Jew is altogether different. . . Every Jew isn’t an Israelite. No, he’s just a Jew. . .” (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 474:3-4).

At his surrender in 1781 General Cornwallis informed General George Washington, “a holy war will now begin on America, and when it is ended America will be supposedly the citadel of freedom, but her millions will unknowingly be loyal subjects to the Crown.” NOT the British monarchy but the “Crown” of the Jews’ City of London which now rules the United States. “Your churches will be used to teach the Jews’ religion and in less than two hundred years the whole nation will be working for divine world government. That government that they believe to be divine will be the British Empire. All religions will be permeated with Judaism without even being noticed by the masses, and they will all be under the invisible all-seeing eye of the Grand Architect of Freemasonry” (The Legions of Satan, by Jonathan Williams; quoted by Senator Joseph McCarthy in his 1956 speech, “George Washington’s Surrender”). Cornwallis was referring to the Talmudic objective of one totalitarian world government under Jewry espoused by the one world religion of Freemasonry which admits men of all religious persuasions; the one world philosophy of Judaeo-Communism that Jesus called “Laodicea” has since permeated all religions.

Jesus said, “unless those days [of tribulation following the destruction of Jerusalem] are shortened, there should be no flesh saved [for the translation]: but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened [by the revelation of Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming and the translation]. Then [in the days of His 'parousia'] if any man says to you, Look, Christ is over here, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs [NOT false Jesus' but false anointed ones], and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that IF it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (Matthew 24:22-24).

By the grace of God His elect cannot be deceived on the revealed Word of God of which they are written epistles. But the modern word “Jew” introduced into your Bible in the eighteenth century with a meaning contrary to the two words it has replaced has ensured “all religions [including Islam] have been permeated with Judaism without even being noticed by the masses, and they are all under the invisible all-seeing eye of the Grand Architect of Freemasonry.” The NON-elect have been deceived into believing “Jesus was a Jew,” which is blasphemy, and that “Jews are God’s chosen people” when God “put enmity” between their forebears and Adam’s race (Genesis 3:15) and charged Moses and the Israelites to “utterly destroy” them whenever they were found in the land of the Covenant (Deuteronomy 7:2; 20:16-17; Genesis 4:14). They are today a mostly non-Semitic people with no history in the Middle East. And yes, the vast majority in the circle of this Message is deceived and false anointed ones invite antichrist Talmudic rabbis into their pulpits. Cornwallis was referring to the “strong delusion to believe Satan’s lie” and unite with the Judaeo-Roman church to bring an unscriptural false peace on earth before the millennium, and “be damned for not believing the truth” (II Thessalonians 2:7-12; Revelation 13:14).

Pharisaism is called Judaism today. When the legalist hypocrites of Jesus’ day saw His miracles “they took counsel how they might destroy Him. But Jesus knowing this withdrew Himself. Many followed Him, and He healed them all and charged them not to make Him known, that Isaiah’s prophecy might be fulfilled: Behold My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen, in whom My soul delights; I have put My Spirit upon Him: He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. He will not cry, nor lift up His voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street. A bruised reed He will not break and the smoking flax He will not quench: He will bring forth justice in agreement with truth. He will not fail nor be discouraged, till He has established justice in the Earth, and [Gentiles in] distant lands will await His teaching” (Matthew 12:1-21; Isaiah 42:1-4).

As we reflect on the past we see these chapters place prophecy in the context of history. Zechariah chapter nine foretold the Syrian conquests of Alexander the Great (356-323BC) over a century beforehand, while during the Babylonian Captivity Daniel 8:5-8 foretold the rise of the Persian world power, its defeat by the rising Graeco-Macedonian Empire and its conquest by Rome. After the battle of Issus in 333BC Alexander captured Damascus, which Darius had chosen as the strong depository of his wealth, and this opened all Coele Syria, “the land of Hadrach.” In 331BC he finally defeated Darius, and in 330 he burned Persepolis, the Persian capital. Thereafter Zechariah covers the Lord’s intervention whereby Jerusalem and Judah found favour in the eyes of this great warrior king who conquered the known world by might of arms and blood, then he turns abruptly to another Warrior King who is to conquer by humility and His own Blood shed for many for the remission of sins, and by peace; He will deliver Jerusalem and restore Israel’s Kingdom with universal dominion.

Zechariah 9:1-8, “The burden of the Lord’s wrath will settle permanently upon the land of Hadrach and Damascus [until Syria is utterly prostrate, which was fulfilled under Alexander], for the Lord’s providence extends over the whole earth as well as all the tribes of Israel; and on Hamath which borders thereon, and on Tyre with Sidon [lying in the conqueror's way on his march along the Mediterranean to Egypt], because it is shrewd and wise in its own eyes. [On expressing his wish to sacrifice in Hercules' temple in New Tyre on the island, she showed her wisdom in sending Alexander a golden crown, and replying that the true and ancient temple of Hercules was at Old Tyre on the mainland]. Tyre had the greatest confidence owing to her insular position, an immense apparently impregnable double sea-wall and abundant provisions, and heaped up silver like dust, and gold as the dirt of the streets. Yet with all her wisdom she cannot avert her doom: the Lord will dispossess her and smite her bulwark in the sea; and she shall be consumed by fire.”

Though without a navy, by incredible labor Alexander constructed a mole of the ruins of Old Tyre from the shore to the island, and, after a seven months’ siege, took the city by storm, slew about eight thousand with the sword, enslaved thirteen thousand, crucified two thousand, and razed the city.

The Prophet now turns to the Philistines on the coast. “Ashkelon shall see it, and be afraid; Gaza also sees, and shall writhe in anguish; and Ekron [the northernmost Philistine city] sees and fears, because her expectation [that Tyre would withstand Alexander, and so check his progress southward through Philistia to Egypt] will be confounded and put to shame; and the king shall perish from Gaza [after a two month's siege, Gaza was taken by Alexander, ten thousand of its inhabitants slain, and the rest sold as slaves. Betis her vassal "king" was bound to a chariot by thongs thrust through the soles of his feet and dragged round the city], and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.”

“Ashdod will lose its native population and be inhabited by a mongrel race and I will end all that constitutes the pride of the Philistines [i.e. the five originally Canaanite cities which they conquered. The Philistines were a Hamitic people out of Philistim, great-grandson of Mizraim (Genesis 10:14)]. And I will take the blood of idolatry out of her mouth, and the abominable sacrifices from between her teeth: but the remnant [like Hadrach, Damascus, and Tyre, etc.,] will worship the God of Israel, and the Philistine princes with their respective states shall share equally in the communion of Israel as if they were among the “governors” of states “in Judah,” and the [Serpent's seed of] Ekron shall be like the Jebusites [the original Serpent's seed inhabitants of Jerusalem who were incorporated with the Israelites but as bond-servants and tributaries (Genesis 9:27; I Kings 9:20-21). The land of the Philistines was allotted to Judah, but was never permanently occupied]“.

Not only will a judgment fall upon the neighbouring heathen, and a remnant of them be converted, but “I will encamp about My house [Israel (Hosea 8:1) as a guard] from the expedition of Alexander marching to and fro]. When advancing against Jerusalem, Alexander was arrested by a dream, so that neither in “passing by” to Egypt, nor in “returning,” did he injure the Jews, but conferred on them great privileges. Josephus (Antiquities of the Jews, XI.8.4-7) accounts for this remarkable fact, by the high priest in his ritual robes, followed by a train of priests and citizens arrayed in white going forth to meet him; Alexander was so impressed by the spectacle that he did reverence to the holy Name on the high priest’s mitre; and when Parmenio expressed surprise at the act, he replied that he had seen in a vision at Dios in Macedonia, the God whom Jaddua the high priest represented, who encouraged him to cross over into Asia and promised him success. Afterwards he entered into the city, offered sacrifice, and heard a recital of the prophecies of Daniel (7:6; 8:3-8, 20-22; 11:1-4) which foretold his victory, in consequence of which he bestowed important privileges on the Jews”.

Through Alexander the Lord began to bring Judah’s foes to judgment. His career exhibited a secular preparation for the new and final form of the kingdom of God on Earth. The aims and results of Alexander’s conquests were far beyond any contemplated by himself even in the most extensive of his far-reaching views. He tore down what others might build up. The humiliation of the Syrian powers and provinces was preliminary to their conversion to the true faith. Their cruel and debasing worship disappeared, the remnant became incorporated within the Christian Church, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians after the Lord’s ascension (Acts 11:26).

The prophet next passes from the immediate future to the final deliverance and millennium to come and makes a sudden transition to the coming of King Messiah (Isaiah 60:18). “And no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with My eyes how Judah was oppressed by her foes.”

Zechariah 9:9-10 is in parenthesis describing a vision: “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold [I see], your King, He comes to you: just and having salvation in Himself for you; humble and riding upon an ass and upon a colt the she-asses foal. And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the war horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and He shall speak peace to the Gentiles: and His dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River Euphrates to the ends of the Earth”.

The “daughter of Zion” is always Christ’s Bride, while the “daughter of Jerusalem” is the 144,000 elect Israelites. The horse is a symbol of war and judgment while the ass is a symbol of peace. As the first fruit of the harvest of souls Jesus Messiah was waved before the Lord and adjudged to be just as vindicated by His resurrection for our justification, for if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy (Leviticus 23:10-14; Romans 4:25; I Corinthians 15:20-23; II Corinthians 5:14-21). The King is “saved” not for His own sake but for His people, and the blessing therefore is not personal, but extends to His Bride and to all of His subjects. Our king triumphs through suffering and His crown springs out of His cross. He is afflicted and bowed by outward circumstances and inwardly bowed in that He is meek, patient and lowly. That this King should ride not upon a horse but upon the untrained foal of an ass indicates how far He was from worldly splendour and would conquer the world through suffering and dying, then rise from lowliness to might and glory, uniting in Himself the extremes of majesty and humiliation as foreshadowed in David.

Not only will this King extend His reign by peaceful methods, but all the instruments of war will be “cut off” from His people, “and He will speak peace to the Gentiles.” Not that He will teach or command peace, but by the ‘third pull’ of revelation He will speak peace to the elect of all nations of Adam’s race “from sea to sea, and from the River Euphrates to the ends of the Earth” (Psalm 72, Micah 5:5).

What other kings accomplish by force, Zion’s King effects without weapons or armies. He told Pilate, “My Kingdom is not of this world: if My Kingdom were of this world, then My servants would fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but at this time My kingdom is not from here”.

“Surprised, Pilate responded: So you are a king? Jesus answered: You say that I am a king. I was born for this purpose, and for this cause I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice”(John 18:36-37).

Truth and revealed truth is the only weapon this Conqueror employs, yet with it He has built the mightiest empire the world has ever seen, “a kingdom, which will never be destroyed: and the kingdom will not be left to other people, but it will break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever” (Daniel 2:44).

Luke 23:38, “And a superscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JUDEANS,” bearing witness that despite their unbelief He was their King, and King also of the Gentiles.

Two thousand years have passed since organizational clerics blinded the Israel nation for whom Messiah was the central thought of Scripture from the bloody skins of lambs slain in Eden until with measured determination they murdered God’s Messiah. The history of Israel may be thus seen to constitute successive steps in the development of God’s purpose to bring many sons to glory through a captain of salvation, so “the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of [all] prophecy” from Adam to William Branham and the two Hebrew prophets yet to witness to Israel. In preparation for their ministry in the Spirit and power of Moses and Elijah we find organizational clerics have blinded the Gentiles that Paul’s prophecy might be fulfilled, “Note the kindness and severity of God; severity towards those who have fallen; but towards you kindness, provided you continue in His kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off. . . Lest you be wise in your own conceits, I want you to understand this mystery, that Spiritual blindness has come over the Israel nation, until the full number the elect Gentiles have come into the Kingdom” (Romans 11:22, 25).

In Matthew 21:1-11, “When Jesus drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, He sent two disciples, saying to them, Go into the village opposite and as you enter you will find an ass tied, and a colt with her: untie them and bring them to Me. If any one says anything to you, say: The Lord has need of them; and he will send them immediately. This was done so that the Words of the prophet might be fulfilled”:

“Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King is coming to you, riding humble on an ass, a colt the foal of an ass. The disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them; they brought the animals to Him and threw their garments over the colt, and he sat thereon. Many of the great multitude spread their garments on the road while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road. And the crowds surged ahead and pressed along behind, shouting, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest”! And when He entered Jerusalem, all the city was agitated, saying: Who is this? And the crowds said: This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee”.

“The common people heard Him gladly” whereas the leaders and educated folk whose theologians could recite Moses and the prophets from memory could not recognize the Scripture being fulfilled before their eyes. People who had gathered in Jerusalem from throughout the Roman Empire to attend the feast of Unleavened Bread and Passover could not recognize their day and its Message coming as the real Passover Lamb according to the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9-10. Their false anointed ministers were so confident in their manmade theology they would crucify Jesus Messiah five days thence on the hour, day, week, month and year and in the place foretold by Moses (Exodus 12:3-6; Deuteronomy 16:5-6), Nehemiah 2:1-8, and Daniel 9:25-26.

These people had certainly learned the letter of God’s Word, but teaching for doctrine the commandments of men made it of no effect. The New Testament theologians having followed the same course, fail to recognize that since the revelation of the Seven Seals we now have the perfect interpretation of God’s Word so that Christ is no longer a Mediator excusing denominational error, and almost two billion souls who claim to be Christians are crucifying to themselves the Son of God afresh on a cross of man-made creed and tradition and know it not.

History was in the making, prophecy was being fulfilled, salvation for the world was riding on a donkey. This was the great day for which all of the prophets and saints had yearned. This was the hope of the righteous, many of whom had been martyred for their faith. Three days hence Jesus would shout, “Oy vey to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you tithe mint and anise and cumin, and have omitted the weightier aspects of the Law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these you ought to have done without neglecting the others. You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!”

“Oy vey to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of extortion and greed. You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and plate so that the outside may be clean as well. Oy vey to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are resemble whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within they are full of dead men’s bones, and all uncleanness. So you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.”

“Oy vey to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, saying, Had we lived in the days of our fathers we would not taken part in shedding the blood of the prophets.”

“Thus you witness against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up the measure of your fathers. You serpents, you progeny of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell? Therefore I [will] send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from town to town: that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of innocent Abel to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachiah, whom you slew between the temple and the altar. I assure you, that all these things shall come upon this [Serpent's seed] generation [of Cain's lineage].”

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often have I wanted to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not! Behold, your house is left forsaken and desolate [and is no longer God's House]. For I tell you, You will not see Me again, till you say, Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord”(Matthew 23:23-39).

Whereas everyone in Jerusalem should have been joyously shouting: “Hosanna to Messiah who comes in the Name of the Lord,” the mindless mob sought approval from renowned men who were critics. Howbeit God deals with individuals one-on-one, and true believers are His “little flock” disrespected and scorned by society.

As the Israelites and proselytes had gathered to Jerusalem for the feast of Unleavened Bread, Christ’s end-time Bride has gathered for the holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel’s Pentecostal feast that types the end of the Gentile dispensation (Leviticus 23:16-21). Ours is a seven-course Spiritual feast of the fullness of the Word unveiled by the Seven Seals of Revelation that finish the mystery of God:

 

                They’ve come from the East and West,
                They’ve come from the lands afar,
                to feast with our King, to dine as His guests;
                How blessed these pilgrims are!
                Beholding His hallowed face
                Aglow with love Divine;
                Blest partakers of His grace,
                as gems in His crown will shine.

 

sign of Christ's parousia ComingBrother Branham referred to the Pillar of Cloud that manifest over Arizona on February 28 1963 shown here and on the index page of the Church Website as the sign of Christ’s second or ‘parousia’ Coming (Revelation 1:7, 14; Daniel 7:9; Matthew 26:64; Acts 1:9-11). There was a blast of thunder when the Lamb opened one of the Seals (Revelation 6:1), and “The Lord Himself descended from heaven with a Shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God” (I Thessalonians 4:16). Brother Branham said He does all three as He descends. We have another account of the second or ‘parousia’ Coming of Christ the Archangel in Revelation 10:1-7: “I . . . (place your name here as John represents Christ’s end-time Bride throughout the Book of Revelation) . . . saw another mighty Angel come down from heaven clothed with a cloud: and the rainbow was upon His head [showing Him to be the Angel of the Covenant from Genesis to Revelation] . . .and He had a little Book open in His hand: [it was closed when He claimed it in Revelation 5:7]; and He set His right foot in judgment on [Rome, the beast from] the Sea, and His left foot on [the United States, the beast from] the Earth. And cried with a loud voice as when a lion roars: and after He had cried the seven thunders uttered their voices”.

The full adoption or bodily redemption had been delayed for two thousand years while Christ interceded for the imperfect revelation of the Church Age saints who had only PART-Word so long as the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals. However when the last saint predestinated to the Laodicean Church Age was born-again Christ claimed the Book; Redemption was over and He announced “there should be time [or delay] no longer.” Now redemption was to be revealed, namely who was redeemed in each Age and how they were redeemed. Thus, “In the days of the voice of the seventh angel when He shall begin to sound his Message, the mystery God has already declared to His servants the prophets should be finished”.

On about March 9 1963 at the opening of the First Seal Brother Branham was caught up from Sunset Mountain into a constellation of angels and told to return to Jeffersonville where Jesus would reveal the mysteries of the seven thunders of Revelation 10 which are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals.

In Luke 17:28-30 Jesus said the conditions of the days of Noah and the days of Lot would repeat in the day when the Son of man was revealed. As it was in the days of Noah we live in a day of great scientific achievements, engineering projects, immorality, violence and miscegenation between the seed of the Serpent and the seed of Adam now glorified as ‘multiculturalism.’ As Enoch was called out from the seventh generation from the first Adam and translated, we have been called out from the seventh generation of the last Adam and as he was changed in the atoms and translated we await our body change and translation. The wicked abominations of the days of Lot have repeated with homosexuality rampant. Three created men visited Abraham’s group who were separated from Sodom. Two, like Billy Graham and Oral Roberts, preached a basic salvation Message to the Churches in Sodom, while one veiled God, who identified Himself as the Word by “discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). The same sign identified Him veiled behind the virgin-born flesh of Jesus Messiah, and revealed “Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) veiled behind the flesh of Brother Branham, a sinner saved by grace in whose ministry the dead were raised, sight restored to the blind, demons cast out and cripples made whole.

God has fulfilled a multitude of Scriptural signs and prophecies in this our day, and the denominational people are neither anticipating nor are they interested to learn of these promises written in their own Bibles. Their ministers are too busy with social welfare programs to bother with the present Truth—what Jesus is doing now. Zechariah 9:9-10 has repeated: Christ has returned, performing the same miracles, more abundantly before larger crowds among the Gentile nations. He did not return “lowly, riding on an ass’ colt,” but veiled behind a humble uneducated man, and as Jesus indicted the Pharisees and the Israel nation, Brother Branham indicted and called the wise and foolish virgin out from the Gentile denominations and warned of earthquakes splitting open the Earth, which we will discuss in Zechariah 14.

The last seven verses, which for us are purely historic, prophecy the warlike period of the Maccabees with the promise of deliverance to be accomplished by conflict—the Lord fighting from heaven for the Covenant people, granting them victory and general prosperity. As the four books of the Maccabees are not canonical you will probably not be too familiar with them unless you read the Apocrypha in the Septuagint or a Judaeo-Roman Catholic Bible. They began with a few personal followers, and they ended with a strong and well-organized nation. The struggle lasted for a quarter of a century (168 – 143BC), and notwithstanding the unequal resources of the combatants. the Lord of Hosts made feeble Jews like the sword of a hero, while the mailed warriors of Syria were trodden down like the small stones of a sling.

Zechariah 9:11-17, “As for You also [Ephraim and Judah as in verse 10 and Zion in verse 13, despite your forlorn condition I have mercy in store] for the sake of your Covenant-blood I have sent forth your prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water [an allusion to Joseph signifying the general distress under Seleucid dominion]. Return to the [inaccessible] strong hold [of security], you prisoners of hope [in the Covenant]: even to day do I declare that I will repay double the prosperity you formerly enjoyed; when I tread the bow of Judah for Me, and fill the bow with [the arrow of] Ephraim, and stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and made you as the sword of a mighty man. And the Lord shall appear above them [because He fights from heaven on their behalf], and His arrow shall go forth as the lightning [flashing instantaneous destruction to the foe]: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go forth like [the violent desert] storms of the South. The Lord of hosts shall protect them [as a shield]; and they shall devour [as a lion who eats the flesh and drinks the blood of his victim], and subdue the enemy [contemptuously likened to slingstones or pebbles from the brook]; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls [used by priests to catch the blood of a sacrifice sprinkled on] the corners [and horns] of the altar [indicating this is a holy war]. And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of His people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, which sparkle as an ensign upon His land. For how great is His goodness, and the beauty which He bestows! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids [indicative of abundance]“. nl704.htm

9/11/11: Orgy of Deception

September 11, 2011

Bible Believers’ Newsletter 703

“We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . .”
ISSN 1442-8660

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are pleased you could join us in fellowship.

Today is the tenth anniversary of the false flag black known as 9/11. Small wonder Brother Branham said, “America is the seat of the Devil” (Serpent’s Seed, p. 28:211). The BIG LIES of the aliens of ‘the City of London’ who control this nation are parroted “in your face” by the treacherous sycophant administrators of their colonies and occupied nations worldwide. And their BIG LIES are becoming bigger, more frequent, and more deadly.

If you are not yet “in Christ,” be afraid, very afraid, because unless you are genuinely born-again before the end of the Gentile dispensation is to be marked by the sinking of Los Angeles, you will be cast into the Great Tribulation where there will be “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 24:51). There was only ever one way into Christ: that is to become a written epistle of the present Truth—what Jesus is doing now known and read of all men. Faith! You must recognize your day and its Message, and see that part of the Bible living through you.

As intimated in Newsletter 702 our national leaders are in lockstep with Satan and regard citizens with disdain as if we believe in the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, and the return of Elvis. The planes that struck the WTC had no side windows and were not passenger airliners. According to the 9/11 Commission Report, the flight data recorders or “black boxes” from Flights UA175 and AA11 were not recovered from wreckage in the WTC; yet Michael Bellone and Nicholas DeMasi, who worked extensively in the wreckage of the WTC, stated in the book “Behind-the-Scenes: Ground Zero” that they helped federal agents find three of the four “black boxes.” However, these could not have belonged to United or American Airlines planes as their aircraft did not crash into the twin towers.

According to the 9/11 Commission Report the black box from Flight AA77 was recovered but was too damaged to yield any data. However, it was not American Airlines Flight 77 or any other airliner but a cruise missile that struck the Pentagon. We are told that the black box from United Airlines Flight 93, that supposedly crashed near Shanksville was recovered and that the FBI allowed families of victims to listen to the voice recordings and in April 2006, released a transcript as part of the Zacarias Moussaoui trial. However Flight 93 was reported to have landed safely after the Shanksville crash.

Please welcome our contributing author Henry Makow who has assembled a special report on the cold-blooded false flag black op of 9/11, that convincingly establishes these points as fact, and study all of the links. And please visit Henry’s website henrymakow.com. The world is hoodwinked and blindfolded by those working to establish Lucifer’s totalitarian one world government. These thugs are also pushing the climate change and mythical increase of anthropogenic CO2 BIG LIES to entrap the world into a global carbon currency to replace national fiat currencies debauched by sovereign default and hyperinflation and control a world returned to serfdom.

Do you now understand why Brother Branham counseled the saints they should not have a television set in the home?

This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

Ten Years later: Who is Osama bin Laden?

September 7, 2011 — At eleven o’clock, on the morning of September 11, the Bush administration had already announced that al Qaeda was responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC) and the Pentagon. This assertion was made prior to the conduct of an in depth police investigation.

That same evening at 9.30pm, a “War Cabinet” was formed integrated by a select number of top intelligence and military advisors. And at 11.00pm, at the end of that historic meeting at the White House, the “War on Terrorism” was officially launched. The decision was announced to wage war against the Taliban and al Qaeda in retribution for the 9/11 attacks. The following morning on September 12, the news headlines indelibly pointed to “state sponsorship” of the 9/11 attacks. In chorus, the US media was calling for a military intervention against Afghanistan.

Barely four weeks later, on October 7, Afghanistan was bombed and invaded by US troops. Americans were led to believe that the decision to go to war had been taken on the spur of the moment, on the evening of September 11, in response to the attacks and their tragic consequences.

Little did the public realize that a large scale theater war is never planned and executed in a matter of weeks. The decision to launch a war and send troops to Afghanistan had been taken well in advance of 9/11. The “terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event” as it was later described by CentCom Commander General Tommy Franks, served to galvanize public opinion in support of a war agenda which was already in its final planning stage. . .

In a cruel irony, while the Islamic jihad—featured by the Bush Administration as “a threat to America”—is blamed for the terrorist assaults on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, these same Islamic organisations constitute a key instrument of US military-intelligence operations in the Balkans and the former Soviet Union.

In the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, the truth must prevail to prevent the Bush Administration together with its NATO partners from embarking upon a military adventure which threatens the future of humanity. . . Full story: globalresearch.ca


Hail to the True Victors of Rupert’s Revolution

September 10, 2011 — “The Middle East is one of the regions with the greatest number of opportunities for UK defence and security companies. Saudi Arabia. . . is the world’s top defence importer, having spent $56bn in 2009. . . a very worthwhile region to target.”

Such are the Cameron government’s priorities following the great “humanitarian” victory in Libya. As Margaret Thatcher once declared, “Rejoice!” And as the bankers and arms merchants raise their glasses, let us not forget the heroic RAF pilots who made Libya ours again by incinerating countless “pro Qaddafi elements” in their homes, cots and clinics, and the unsung stalwarts of the British drone industry at Menwith Hill in Yorkshire who, before and after lunch, provide the information for drone targets so that Hellfire missiles can flatten homes and suck the air out of lungs, a specialty. And cheers to QuinetiQ’s drone testing site at Aberporth and at UAV Engines Limited in Lichfield.

The West’s humanitarian mission is not quite finished. Nearly six months after securing a UN resolution authorizing “the [protection] of civilians and civilian-populated areas under the threat of attack,” NATO is raining fragmentation bombs on civilian-populated Sirte and other “Qaddafi strongholds” where, says a Channel 4 News reporter, “until they cut off the head of the snake, Libyans will not feel safe.” I quote that not so much for its Orwellian quality, but as a model of journalism’s role in justifying “our” bloodbaths in advance.

This is Rupert’s Revolution, after all. Gone from the Murdoch press are pejorative “insurgents.” The action in Libya, says The Times, is “a revolution . . . as revolutions used to be.” That it is a coup by a gang of Muammar Qaddafi’s ex cronies and spooks in collusion with NATO is hardly news. The self-appointed “rebel leader,” Mustafa Abdul Jalil, was Qaddafi’s feared justice minister. The CIA runs or bankrolls most of the rest, including America’s old friends, the Mujadeen Islamists who spawned al Qaeda.

They told journalists what they needed to know: that Qaddafi was about to commit “genocide,” of which there was no evidence, unlike the abundant evidence of “rebel” massacres of black African workers falsely accused of being mercenaries. European bankers’ secret transfer of the Central Bank of Libya from Tripoli to “rebel” Benghazi in order to control the country’s oil billions was an epic heist of little interest.

The entirely predictable indictment of Qaddafi before the “international court” at The Hague evokes the charade of the dying “Lockerbie bomber,” Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, whose “heinous crime” has been deployed to promote the West’s ambitions in Libya. In 2009, Al-Megrahi was sent back to Libya by the Scottish authorities not for compassionate reasons, as reported, but because his long-awaited appeal would have confirmed his innocence and described how he was framed by the Thatcher government, as the late Paul Foot’s landmark exposé revealed. As an antidote to the current propaganda, I urge you to read a forensic demolition of el-Melgrahi’s “guilt” and its political meaning in “Dispatches from the Dark Side: On Torture and the Death of Justice” (Verso) by the distinguished human rights lawyer, Gareth Peirce. . .

Two Questions on Newsletter 702

Question one: Please I have a question regarding the last Newsletter 702. I cannot verify the following statement contained in the newsletter from the Bible: “By the time God shut Noah and his group into the Ark Satan had conquered the world, and slipped the physical Serpent’s seed Naamah into the Ark along with the spiritual Serpent’s seeds Ham and his wife”.

Answer: Satan conquers by spiritual Serpent’s seed, hybreeding God’s Word by sowing the “seed of discrepancy”—error and deceit—as he sowed “tares among the wheat” (Matthew 13). He also conquers by miscegenation, hybreeding Cain’s race who are physical Serpent’s seed with the children of Adam. This brings genocide to Adam’s race since the offspring of such unions will be sons and daughters of Cain: physical Serpent’s seed, not in the Book of Life which is the genealogy of the first Adam, and unrelated to Jesus Messiah who is kinsman Redeemer to Adam and his fallen race. Jesus is the last Adam, He is not the “last Cain”.

Genesis 6:1-9 is emphatic: Satan had conquered the world by miscegenation, while those in the righteous lineage were in fact spiritual Serpent’s seed because Noah preached for 120 years while erecting his revelation before the very eyes of his hearers without finding a single convert (C.O.D. p. 943:Q242). And this is why most of your testifying bears no fruit.

Genesis 6:4; 9:18-25; 10:15-19 report the physical Serpent’s seed came through the Flood and is reproduced in the vast majority of the human race today. All human, land animal and bird life other than that which was in the ark perished in the deluge and Flood.

We know that Noah, his three sons and their wives were all in the righteous lineage because Genesis 6:10; 8:15-18; 9:8-9 tell us so. The wife Noah took with him in the ark was NOT the mother of his three sons, but the beautiful Serpent’s seed Naamah, Tubalcain’s sister, the last direct descendent of Cain recorded in holy writ, and one of the few women mentioned in Biblical genealogical tables.

The love of a woman can blind almost any man. Either God allowed Noah’s affections to override his revelation, or he was ignorant or deceived as to the lineage of this wife. Scripture had to be fulfilled as Brother Branham explained, typing Noah bringing Ham across in the ark, “there will still be sin [on earth] after the millennium” (Future Home of the Heavenly Groom and Earthly Bride, p. 17:123-124, 513; Serpent’s Seed p. 26:193-211; C.O.D., p. 1092:143). Realizing his dreadful folly Noah was careful not to cause his wife to conceive during the voyage, and after the waters resided he planted a vineyard and drank of his wine in the time of her fertility to ensure he was incapable of fathering children by her.

In those days it was considered a reproach for a woman to be barren, and to take away her reproach within the family, on an occasion when Noah was inebriated she seduced his son Ham, and conceived and bore Canaan (Genesis 9:20-27; C.O.D., p. 1044:230; 1092:143; Serpent’s Seed p. 26:193-211). Hereby the physical Serpent’s seed was reproduced on this side of the Flood and is with us today. Brother Branham said the seed came over in the women, their wives (Serpent’s Seed p. 27:197-198). Naamah was physical Serpent’s seed.

The Prophet said five souls were saved in the days of Noah (Sirs, is this the Time, p. 35:3). Naamah being physical Serpent’s seed, was irredeemable. Ham and Mrs. Ham were spiritual Serpent’s seed, and lost. We know this is so because it through them that paganism was reintroduced from the antediluvian world. That leaves five souls saved.

Question two: Strictly speaking, according to Bro. Branham, the rider of all four horses is Satan’s head demon (Beelzebub?). Still, it is ultimately Satan in control, and as you know, when the Bride goes up, he’s cast out of heaven then incarnates the pope, so at that stage he becomes the pale horse rider.

Answer: Beelzebub (correctly Beelzebul) was Satan Himself. It was actually Baal-zebul, the Ekronite “god of the flies” and the Jews in ridicule changed it to Beelzebul, the “god of dung” (and they made a mistake here also because that should be “zebel;” “Zebul” means dwelling). Satan is the prince or chief of the demons. Beelzebub (correctly Beelzebul) is a name ascribed to Satan by the Jews. This agrees with the Scripture and with Brother Branham.

Satan does not have to be cast out in order to ride the horses; there are in face NO horses. The horse signifies a power as explained in Revelation 6. On his white horse ride from Pentecost through the Ephesian, Smyrnean and Pergamean Church Ages Satan conquered spiritual power. On his red horse ride through the Thyatirean Church Age Satan conquered political power, and on his black horse ride throughout the Sardisean and Philadelphian Church Ages he garnered demonic power. Now, on his pale horse ride which commenced with the Laodicean Church Age in 1906 he is gathering all of these powers so that when he is cast down to earth he will incarnate the pope and rule the New World Order, riding on to perdition, the grave and the second death following with him.

Revelation 6:7-8, “And when Christ had opened the Fourth Seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse. . .” The Fourth Seal opened at the start of the Laodicean Church Age. Fourth Seal is the Spiritual redemption of the Laodicean and Bride Age saints, so when the Gentile dispensation ends, the Fourth Seal also ends. Satan is cast down to earth when the Fourth Seal is fulfilled.

The Prophet said, “Treat me like the Dutchman, take me for what I MEAN, not for what I say.” In this instance you have quoted and followed what the Prophet said, confident in his THUS SAITH THE LORD without taking it back to Scripture to discover what he MEANT. This oversight is common among most of the ministers and Brethren in the circle of this Message. God chose Brother Branham with his strange grammar and oft-confusing manner of expression “to thin down the crowd.”


9/11/11: Orgy of Deception

by Henry Makow PhD

An atrocity such as 9/11 does not require commemoration. It requires justice! The murder of more than 3,000 Americans hasn’t been avenged. Instead, it has been used to justify war and tyranny.

WTC 9/11[In exposing the modus operandi of the Jewish Weimar Republic that usurped and all but devastated Germany following the abdication of Emperor Wilhelm II and the allies' betrayal of the Armistice of World War I, the Jew Josef Goebbels explained: "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent [e.g. the Patriot and Homeland Security Acts, airport body scanning, groping, strip searches, and other offensive measures in the US and other colonies of the 'City of London'] for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State” Ed]. By subterfuge our ‘leaders’ use firemen of FDNY in this snap to spin high treason into a maudlin appeal to patriotism causing the Goyim to recall images of Iwo Jima firmly embedded in the collective subconscious.

For me, the 9/11 Commemoration is a repeat of the original outrage and therefore very painful to witness. The original attack was mass trauma brainwashing perpetrated by a traitor class within America. Now, they’re reinforcing the original programming. It was all designed to justify perpetual war and strip Americans of their civil rights under the bogus pretext of a terrorist threat.

Americans are acquiescing in their own enslavement, and many seem willing to go along. I think the majority know it was an inside job but are afraid to say so. 9/11 is being spun as a mini “holocaust”—a cathartic event that “changed everything.” Illuminati Satanist Lady Gaga is asking the question, “What will you do to remember?”

An atrocity such as 9/11 does not require remembering. It requires justice!

The perpetrators must be exposed and punished. Otherwise, they will continue these false flags in the form of “terrorist attacks,” oil spills, stock crashes, viruses or “natural” disasters. The politicians who wax eloquent about 9/11 are among the main accomplices. You have to admire their ability to lie so brazenly; no doubt it’s a job requirement.

This spectacle demonstrates that we live in a de facto Communist society where the means of production and weapons of mass deception are controlled by the State, a.k.a. the central bankers. Our “leadership” class are traitors who have sold their souls for “success.”

The situation is analogous to the JFK Assassination, where half the people at the funeral had foreknowledge of the hit and participated in the coverup.

THE OFFICIAL STORYLINE

The official 9/11 story has more holes than a piece of Swiss cheese. If this were a free and open society, there would be widespread and genuine interest in addressing the questions. Instead, there is repression, fear and a cover-up.

I’m not going into review the questions again. I refer you to this review of David Ray Griffin’s new book, “9/11—Ten Years Later: When State Crimes Against Democracy Succeed”.

I refer you to “9-11 For Dummies—Five Facts Everyone Should Know” which points to the absence of bodies or plane wreckage.

I refer you to 1600 architects and engineers who say the destruction of the WTC was a controlled demolition. WTC owner Larry Silverstein admitted WTC7 was a controlled demolition. Are we expected to believe the Twin Towers weren’t?

9/11 was perpetrated by London-based Illuminati (Masonic) central bankers (Rothschilds, Rockefellers etc.) to advance their centuries-old plan for one-world-government (i.e. tyranny). It was executed by the CIA, Mossad and elements within the US military and covered up by the political and media class who are mid-level gofers. They are accessories after the fact and criminals.

No one within the US Establishment was punished for allowing this mind boggling attack to occur. If it were not an inside job, there would have been hundreds of court marshals and resignations beginning with G. W. Bush’s.

The mass media, whether government or “privately” owned have been discredited as liars and mind control agents. Reporters and announcers are traitors. All three original TV networks were founded by the Illuminati bankers. Fox is no different.

Americans suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. They are hostages who think that if they play along, the Illuminati bankers won’t harm them.

According to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion: the people are “accustomed to listening to us only who pay it for obedience and attention. In this way, we shall create a blind mighty force which will never be in a position to move in any direction without the guidance of our agents. . . The people will submit to this regime because it will know that upon these leaders will depend its earnings, gratification and the receipt of all kinds of benefits” (Protocol 10:5).

Sounds like our vaunted freedom is Stockholm Syndrome.

CONCLUSION

Yes, I am sad about 9/11. The murder of more than 3,000 Americans has not been avenged. 9/11 is a litmus test, demonstrating how completely society has been subverted by a satanic cult, the Illuminati.

What remains for people like us? We must uphold the truth in the face of all scorn. But on a personal level, we shouldn’t exhaust ourselves by proselytizing. The truth does not go begging. We’ll share our knowledge when asked. Thus, we can have cordial relationships with everyone, including dupes. We were also dupes once.

We must live our lives as constructively as possible, grateful for the freedom and prosperity we still enjoy. We mustn’t be depressed by the human condition. Eventually the Illuminati will self-destruct. Evil is inherently dysfunctional.

RELATED INFORMATION

Cowardly Wisconsin professors avoid “9/11 Experts” film launch.

This is one of the more shocking documentaries about the attacks of 9/11. Shocking because it’s NOT full of ‘conspiracy theories.’ There is no guess work here as to how or why, 911 IN PLANE SITEsimply revisits the news broadcasts of that day and points out how much of the story simply disappeared as the ‘Official Story’ took shape. It reviews ‘forgotten’ video evidence of that day and points out how much of it contradicts the present view of events.

pilaster on St. John the Divine Cathedral NYCZen Gardner – Occult Trauma Based Mind Control. Do the prescient design sculpted in 1997 on the capital of this pilaster at New York’s St. John the Divine Cathedral (an asset of British Intelligence and closely aligned with their other asset, the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith) and the “Great Spherical Caryatid” sculpture (of a female figure serving as an architectural support taking the place of a column) at the twin towers foreshadow the 9/11 “event”?

The 9/11 victims America wants to forget: the 200 jumpers who flung themselves from the Twin Towers and have been ‘airbrushed from history’.

These ‘Establishment’ 9/11 LIES were published by the BBC on August 29, 2011. There is no mention of the participation of CIA, Mossad, MI5, MI6, other intelligence agencies of the ‘City of London’ and privately-owned Israeli security services under cover of the coincidental Global Guardian and Vigilant Guardian joint American/Canadian military exercises.

Comment: A similar false flag black op in Israel would enable the ‘City’ to ignite the ‘hot stage’ of the present World War III. I expect the cleaving of the mount of Olives prophesied in Zechariah 14:4 and resultant demolition of the Dome of the Rock will accomplish this.

Now can you see how the Sixth Vial “poured out upon the great river Euphrates dried up the water that the way of the rulers of the east might be prepared. . . [enabling] demons to go forth to the rulers of the Earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty” (Revelation 16:12, 14)? The pale horse of Revelation 6:7-8 is breaking into a canter across Northern Africa and the Middle East before galloping toward Russia and China. nl703.htm

Zechariah Chapters Seven and Eight

September 9, 2011

Bible Believers’ Newsletter 702

“We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . .”
ISSN 1442-8660

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Sunday will be the tenth anniversary of that false flag black op we know as 9/11. Where were you when the planes struck the twin towers? I was working behind my computer.

What was your first reaction to the false video replayed ad infinitum? “I said to myself, This is a black op,” and called one of the Brothers who booted up his computer and agreed the destruction of the WTC was almost certainly a black op. Our suspicions have been well and truly confirmed, yet the Establishment continues to blanket our alien-controlled media with lying propaganda, and the best politicians money can buy pursue the City of London’s imperialistic agenda: looting natural resources and slaughtering innocent Muslims to create the enemy cast in the City’s 1871 military blueprint for World War III and world hegemony.

Today I listened to a recording of someone purporting to be Stewardess Betty Ong on American Airlines Flight 11, and someone purporting to be hijacker Mohamed Atta (abc.net.au). I expect long-deceased CIA employee Osama bin Laden will soon release yet another post humus video. Perhaps he will do an Elvis impersonation. Homeland Security claim it has received intelligence [sic] of the likelihood of another terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11. However the MOSSAD will likely execute the next false flag black op in Israel! Oy vey!

Is Benedict XVI a Jew? Or is he a Jew? Next we’ll be told there is no tooth fairy, and that Santa Claus is your father! Hold to God’s unchanging hand, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ who is present with us now.

This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony Grigor-Scott

 


The PC Brigade kills off Jesus Christ

September 2, 2011 — A decision to use politically correct terms—which do not mention Jesus Christ—for dates BC and AD in the new national history curriculum was an act of Christian cleansing, church leaders said yesterday. The Archbishop of Sydney, Peter Jensen, yesterday condemned the move as an ‘intellectually absurd attempt to write Christ out of human history’. . . Full story: dailytelegraph.com.au

Comment: Australia is to remove the birth of Jesus as a reference point for dates in school history books. Under the new politically correct curriculum, the terms BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini) will be replaced with BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era).

The Common Era was originally introduced in the Sixth Century and appeared in English as early 1708. Its use is traced back to the Latin term vulgaris aerae and the English Vulgar Era. Use of the CE abbreviation was introduced by Jewish academics in the mid-19th century . . . but both still use the Gregorian calendar and the year-numbering system revolving around BC and AD . . . based on the traditionally reckoned year of the birth of Jesus, with AD counting the years afterwards and BC denoting the years before.


Another ‘Liberation,’ another Unimaginable International Criminal Tragedy

September 3, 2011 — The NATO-’liberated’ country, after seven months, looks a lot like ‘liberated’ Iraq after eight years.

Queues of cars now wait for petrol in another oil rich country; other queues form, carrying containers for water. The multibillion dollar development of Libya’s vast underground aquifers had been dubbed the ‘eighth wonder of the world. Libya’s water supply infrastructure has been systematically bombed throughout the country.

Shops are without food. All is: ‘absolute disaster,’ according to an eminent legal observer, very familiar with the country. And with electricity largely off, those seeking knowledge as to whether friends and relatives are injured, fled or dead, find the internet and phones dead.

As the injured overwhelm hospitals, many bombed, damaged or without power and pharmaceuticals. No incubators, life support machines or surgery. Another country with a modern, developed infrastructure reduced to the pre-industrial age—with the rebuilding contracts reportedly already being divvied out—in the West. . .

Arab Spring: Revolutions, Lies, and Intervention

August 31, 2011 — The Arab Spring movement also reached all the way to Libya, however, things were quite different as instead of having peaceful protests, opposition forces were picking up arms and fighting the Libyan military. Due to the then-leader of Libya, Col. Mummar Gaddafi, having never truly been a Western puppet, America launched a propaganda war to allow the US-NATO war machine to intervene in Libya on the grounds of ‘humanitarian intervention.’

The question that must first be asked is why the West even wanted to intervene in Libya. The answer is because Libya has Africa’s largest oil reserves and Western oil companies wanted access to them. However, there are also larger economic reasons. Months prior to the intervention, Gaddafi had called upon African and Muslim nations to adopt a single currency: the gold dinar. This would have excluded the dollar as the gold dinar would have been used to purchase goods, thus threatening the economies of Western nations. However, the creation of a gold dinar may have also empowered the people of Africa, something black activists say the US wants to avoid at all costs. . .

There was also geopolitics at work as during the war, Gaddafi ‘vowed to expel Western energy companies from the country and replace them with oil firms from China, India, and Russia.’ This would have effectively excluded the West from ever getting at Libya’s oil. By ousting Gaddafi, the West would be able to have a puppet regime to counter Chinese and Russian moves in North Africa as well as access to Libyan oil.

What many of the media never asked until the conflict was nearing its end was who exactly were the rebels. In the Iraq war, most of the foreign fighters came from Libya and in that, ‘almost all of them came from eastern Libya, the center of the anti-Gaddafi rebellion.’ A Libyan rebel commander even admitted that some of his soldiers had links to Al Qaeda. . .

The hypocrisy of the West ran deep as they found an excuse to intervene in Libya, but not in Egypt, Bahrain, Palestine, or any other location where people were being oppressed by local regimes. However, Western hypocrisy was shown near the outset of the conflict when it was reported that Egypt’s military had begun to ship arms to the rebels with Washington’s knowledge. This clearly shows that supposed arms embargo on Libya was in reality, an embargo on Gaddafi’s forces. . .

The Americans constantly denied that they had boots on the ground, yet, as usual, they were lying. . . Due to the imperialists succeeding in Libya, many are worried that the US-NATO war machine may set its sights on a new target: Syria. . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Al Qaeda in Syria: Jihadists Wage NATO’s “Humanitarian Wars”

September 2, 2011 — What triggered the crisis in Syria? It was not the result of internal political cleavages, but rather the consequence of a deliberate plan by the US-NATO alliance to trigger social chaos, to discredit the Syrian government of Bashar Al Assad and ultimately destabilize Syria as a Nation State. Since the middle of March 2011, armed Islamist groups covertly supported by Western and Israeli intelligence have conducted terrorist attacks on government buildings and acts of arson.

Amply documented: trained gunmen and snipers have targeted police, the armed forces as well as unarmed civilians. The objective of this armed insurrection is to trigger the response of the police and armed forces, including the deployment of tanks and armored vehicles with a view to eventually justifying a “humanitarian” military intervention, under NATO’s “responsibility to protect” mandate.

There is certainly cause for social unrest and mass protest in Syria: unemployment has increased in recent years, social conditions have deteriorated, particularly since the adoption in 2006 of sweeping economic reforms under IMF guidance. The later include austerity measures, a freeze on wages, the deregulation of the financial system, trade reform and privatization. . . The majority of Syria’s population (including the opponents of the Al Assad government) do not support the “protest movement” which is characterized by an armed insurgency. In fact quite the opposite.

Ironically, despite its authoritarian nature, there is considerable popular support for the government of President Bashar Al Assad, which is confirmed by the large pro-government rallies. . . The role of the US-NATO-Israel military alliance in triggering an armed insurrection is not addressed by the Western media. Moreover, several “progressive voices” have accepted the “NATO consensus” at face value: “a peaceful protest” which is being “violently repressed by the Syrian police and armed forces”. . .

In a Christian village outside of Dara’a, in southern Syria, eye witnesses reported that twenty masked men on motorcycles opened fire on a Christian home while shouting malicious remarks against Christians in the street. According to another ICC source in Syria, churches received threatening letters during the Easter holidays telling them to join Salafi protestors or leave. Full story: globalresearch.ca

Comment: This is further proof that the lawless (once) Christian nations are now the apostate image unto the beast. Syrian traitors (trained, armed and financed by the Turkish government) have already formed a National Salvation Council dominated by the outlawed [MI6 sponsored] Syrian Muslim Brotherhood (smh.com.au) in consultation with Turkey (the second largest military force inside NATO) and the Pentagon.

The strategy is to give the citizens and subjects of the dictatorships and monarchies in the Middle East people over to the Muslim Brotherhood as their governments are defeated in “humanitarian wars” insinuated by and prosecuted ‘the City of London‘ (deploying NATO forces of their colonies such as Britain, France, Italy, Canada, the USA and Australia, and occupied countries such as Germany, Japan, South Korea and Israel). This is their way of ensuring World War III between political Islamists and political Zionists (fighting with the blood and borrowed funds of nominally Christian nations) proceeds according to the strategy of Albert Pike’s 1871 military blueprint which agrees with Bible prophecy. “Today the Jews rule this world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them” (Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, October 17, 2003).


Australia’s Detention Camps

January 24, 2011 — The FEMA head came to Australia last year (see Part 1) to instruct Australians how to build detention camps for those who reject the UN global government take over when this region becomes the ASEAN Union. Recent Investigations indicate this complex was built by the UN and there’s also one being built in Western Australia—Something that has been kept secret—The IMF banking cartel will take over government as it has in Argentina, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain Ireland, etc. . .

Australian people have been duped and deceived concerning the NWO, UN, CFR, take-over, the corrupt media being under the control of the IMF banking cartel, demonize any whistleblower who raises the warnings as ‘conspirators’.

In this planned attack on Australia, as in all previous take-overs, FIRST the UN coerce the governments which are also corporations to sell public assets into private corporations, and buyers from the US such as Halliburton, Rockefeller, KBR, etc. then squeeze the economy, close banks, take possession of properties, enforce vaccinations, etc.

Global Depopulation: Aggie the Traveling Agrobacterium

The Purpose of this GMO Primer is to demonstrate how genetic engineering endangers not only our food supply, but the very planet itself. These slides illustrate the genetic engineering process—what can happen when a transformed agrobacterium (Aggie) escapes into the wild and woolly plant kingdom, and how, through shedding and horizontal gene transfer, our food supply and health are at risk. . .

There are two very important risks involved in the genetic engineering of our food supply: Contamination of normal crops through shedding (cross-pollination) threatens to eliminate any non-GMO sources of food we have. Antibiotic and/or herbicide resistance and the transgene contained in these plants is horizontally transferred between other bacteria in the environment, as well as eukaryotic organisms, especially when transgenic plants are consumed.

Contamination by Shedding Shed pollen is picked up by insects, birds, or mammals, and carried to other plants. Shed pollen is also carried by the wind and spread to other plants. The transgenes from the plants that shed the pollen and the non-GM plants that receive it and are fertilized, mix together, converting the non-GM plant to a transgenic plant. Plants shed pollen in order to fertilize themselves (self-pollination), or to fertilize other plants (cross-pollination). . .

Full-Blown Civil War erupts on Wall Street as Reality finally Hits

September 3, 2011 — Finally, after trillions in fraudulent activity, trillions in bailouts, trillions in printed money, billions in political bribing and billions in bonuses, the criminal cartel members on Wall Street are beginning to get what they deserve. As the Eurozone is coming apart at the seams and as the US economy grinds to a halt, the financial elite are starting to turn on each other. The lawsuits are piling up fast. Here’s an extensive roundup: . . .

First up, this shockingly huge $196 billion lawsuit just filed against 17 major banks on behalf of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Bank of America is severely exposed in this lawsuit. As the parent company of Countrywide and Merrill Lynch they are on the hook for $57.4 billion. JP Morgan is next in the line of fire with $33 billion. And many death spiraling European banks are facing billions in losses as well. . . Full story: ampedstatus.org


The Pale Horse Rider, the Pope, and the City of London

Question: If the horseman riding the pale horse is the pope, or whoever is pulling the strings of the Catholic church (ultimately it’s Satan) then do they give the orders to the City of London?

Answer: The rider of all four horses is Satan.

He breached Adam’s race after Eve was beguiled by the seed of discrepancy, spiritual Serpent’s seed (Genesis 3:13; II Corinthians 11:3-4) and seduced in miscegenation with the Devil-incarnate Serpent whose physical seed conceived Cain (Genesis 3:14-16; II Corinthians 11:2; I John 3:12). By the time God shut Noah and his group into the Ark Satan had conquered the world, and slipped the physical Serpent’s seed Naamah into the Ark along with the spiritual Serpent’s seed Ham and his wife.

Again Satan conquered by miscegenation but principally by spiritual Serpent’s seed at Babel until the Lord intervened by “the confusion of tongues” . Centuries later He made promise to Abram and separated him, but his grandson Esau who was spiritual Serpent’s seed intermarried with the physical Serpent’s seed, and from the time of Solomon Israel began to fall to the spiritual Serpent’s seed. God dispersed the Northern Kingdom throughout the Assyrian empire, then Judah fell under thrall to spiritual Serpent’s seed and He sent the nation to exile in Babylon where they adopted and instituted the spiritual Serpent’s seed of Babylonian religion in what we now know as the Babylonian Talmud, but which Jesus called “the traditions of the elders which makes the Word of God of no effect” (Matthew 15:9).

John Hyrcanus, high priest and prince of the Maccabees hired mercenaries, defeated and forcibly assimilated the Edomites in 123BC. In 129BC Ammouius wrote, “The Idumeans were . . . subdued by the Jews [i.e. Judahites] and compelled to be circumcised, and to unite into one nation, and be subject to the same laws, they were called Jews.” Numerically greater and predominantly physical Serpent’s seed, these Edomites “were hereafter no other than Jews” (Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, XIII, 9:1). Hence in the days of His flesh Jesus lived in “Galilee of the Gentiles; He would not live in Jewry because the Jews sought to kill Him” (John 7:1). Spiritually, in this day Edomites are apostates of Adam’s race entitled to claim the birthright but proven to be profane persons in spiritual fornication with man-made traditions against Christ the Word (Hebrews 12:16). Physically, they are predominantly Serpent’s seed.

In AD740 Talmudic Jews from Babylon converted king Bulan, and his physical Serpent’s seed nation adopted Judaism by decree. Originally from Lower Mongolia, they migrated to the Caucasus and established the powerful kingdom of Khazaria that fought Russia for 1,000 years until their invasion from the East side of New York City brought final victory in 1917. Meanwhile they had married into the royal and aristocratic houses of Europe, ruled the Vatican and conquered the United States and the rest of the world through subterfuge, usury and the power of the purse. Ezekiel 38 and 39 will be more meaningful once you see that Judaism and the Talmud are the antithesis of Moses and the prophets, and that the souls under the altar are Torah-believing Israelites of the Old Covenant descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not their Talmudic non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled impersonators in covenant with Death (Isaiah 28:14-22; Daniel 9:27; Revelation 6:8).

Here we are at the end of the world, and Satan is again bringing genocide to Adam’s race by miscegenation with the children of Cain as Moses and Jesus prophesied (Genesis 6:1-4; Matthew 24:37), and of course both natural and spiritual adultery.

Yes, I believe Rome and then the Black Nobility are at the top of the ancient pecking order, with Jewry their servant. However, I also understand apostate Jews and Rome organized the Roman Catholic church, and that from around AD1200 these self-styled Jews had intermarried all or most of the noble families of Europe and England and through the breakdown of belief and the rise of philosophies such as communism, and the spread of literacy and education across all classes, even Rome and the Black Nobility now rely as much upon the power of their wealth and martial force as they do upon religion and the law.

On the one hand is the spiritual Serpent’s seed and on the other is physical Serpent’s seed. God set this enmity against Adam’s race to “prove” His elect, and chastise the non-elect with a view to correction, and to destroy the reprobates (Genesis 3:15).

The short answer is: Rome is at the top working hand-in hand with the City and that all three—the Judaeo-Roman Universal church, the Jew’s City of London, and Judaeo-Communism, are actually Serpent’s seed of one kind or both, and while they work together for mutual advantage, each is competing for mastery. Initially Rome will rule one world government by defeating Communism, but when it endeavours to suppress the MoneyPower of City, the Black Nobility will switch their allegiance to Judaeo-Communism, which will annihilate Rome and the United States, (as Brother Branham foresaw). This will lead to the destruction of all life.

The people in all of these groups are either physical and spiritual Serpent’s seed, or useful idiots and thus spiritual Serpent’s seed.


Zechariah Chapters Seven and Eight

I contemplated bypassing Zechariah chapters seven and eight supposing this would be historical and scarcely relevant to Christ’s end-time Bride. But no, human nature does not change and Israel types the Church. Here was a moral warning, a situation not unlike Laodicea wherein the prophet discerns motive and objective and brings correction. And here Zechariah declares the future universal salvation is not restricted to Israel but includes the more numerous Gentiles.

The Israelites have returned from Babylonian captivity to the land of Palestine and God’s prophets Haggai and Zechariah are attempting to encourage them—disheartened as they are by the surrounding perils and by the humble aspect of the temple—to the work of rebuilding as instructed by the Lord. In the midst of their work a delegation sent from Bethel visits to consult with the priests.

Zechariah 7:1-3, “In the fourth year of king Darius, the Word of the Lord came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, Chisleu, when the people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech and their men, to entreat the favour of the Lord, and to ask the priests of the house of the Lord of hosts, and the prophets, Should we weep in the fifth month, [sanctifying] ourselves by separation [from all defilements], as we have done for so many years?”

This visitation took place two years after Zechariah had received eight major consecutive visions and a direct Word from the Lord, during which time the work of rebuilding the temple had proceeded with the promise of a speedy restoration of the ancient worship in its integrity. Now the people of Bethel who had returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel, having rebuilt their city (Ezra 2:28; Nehemiah 7:31-32) sent delegates to offer sacrifices and beseech the Lord’s favour, and to speak with the priests regarding the propriety of continuing to observe the solemn fasts, especially that commemorating Nebuchadnezzar’s razing of the city and temple on the tenth day of the fifth month.

Zechariah 7:4-7, “Then the Word of the Lord of hosts came to Zechariah, Say to all the people of the land including the priests, “When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month, for these seventy years, was it for Me that you fasted? Was it for Me? And when you eat and when you drink, do you not eat for yourselves and drink for yourselves? When Jerusalem was inhabited and prosperous, with her cities around her, and when the Negev desert in the South and the coastal plain of Shephelah were inhabited, the former prophets (Isaiah 1:16-29; Jeremiah 7:5, 23) warned that this [hypocritical] attitude would surely lead to ruin, as it has”.

Here Zechariah rebukes the delegation and also the priests, “for the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and the people should seek the Law at his mouth: as he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts” (Malachi 2:7) but these priests were unable to enlighten the delegates and required instruction in understanding themselves. They had become formal and public worship had become the emptiness of mere ritual which leads to hypocrisy. The delegation was from the remnant of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in Bethel where the golden calves were once set up; Zechariah discerned they were still hypocrites whose prime objective was to receive priestly approval for their religious observance of man-made ritual as a mask for their disobedience. For had they obeyed the Words and warnings of God’s prophets there would have been no occasion to institute these fasts as Jerusalem and the temple would never have been destroyed (Zechariah 7:9-14). It was not sacrifice and fasting God sought, but obedience, without which their fasting was hypocrisy. The fact God was prospering construction of the new temple rising before their eyes should have caused them to rejoice, yet they were prepared to fast and mourn for the old temple destroyed eighty years beforehand.

The priests themselves needed instruction even though the fast upon which they were questioned was not a Divine appointment but had been decreed by man as was the fast of the seventh month which was observed on the anniversary of the murder of Gedaliah and his companions (Jeremiah 41:1-11). It was therefore a matter of supreme indifference to the Lord whether they observed these man-made fasts, or not, just as it was entirely a personal affair whether a man ate and drank or fasted. None of these issues was observed in service to the Lord, and construction of the new temple was progressing, so was it not hypocrisy to mourn? There was in any case only ever one compulsory fast in the ritual of the Old Testament, and that was the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16:29), yet today the self-styled Jews observe as many as fourteen annual fasts and “by their traditions transgress and make the Commandment of God of no effect” (Matthew 15:1-9).

Denominational churches today observe annual manmade fasts, feasts and rituals like Easter and Christmas, saints’ days, catechisms, christenings, nicolaitane priesthoods and false baptisms that originated in Nimrod’s Babel with far greater zeal than they apply to “study to show themselves approved of God, as workmen with no need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth” (II Timothy 2:15). Like Zechariah in his day Brother Branham directed the heart of God’s elect to the faith once delivered to their fathers, for the Lord is not satisfied with ritual and cold lectionary preaching, which is what led Judah and more recently the churches of Laodicea into apostasy, and they “know it not.”

Paul had the same experience and declared: “The mystery of iniquity is already at work.” Galatians 4:8-11: “Formerly, when you did not know God, you were in bondage to so-called gods that did not even exist; but now when you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments to which you want to be enslaved once more? You observe days and months, festivals and years. I am afraid I have laboured over you in vain.” Paul elaborates further on the subject of manpleasing and bondage in Colossians 2:13 – 4:6: “Let no man judge you in questions of food and drink, or the observance of a festival, new moon, or sabbath-keeping, which are shadows of things to come; but the Body of Christ is the substance that cast the shadow. Let no one defraud you of salvation’s prize, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels based upon delusional visions which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind . . .”

Those religious spirits that imprisoned the souls of the Judeans in the days of Zechariah and Paul have multitudes of souls imprisoned now.

Zechariah answers the delegates’ question and corrects the people: Zechariah 7:8-14, “And the Word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying, Thus spoke the Lord of hosts, Render justice [based on the true facts without regard to personal considerations]; let everyone show lovingkindness [to the unfortunate] and mercy to his brother, and do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the stranger [Heb. 'ger'], or the poor. Let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart. But they refused to hearken, turned a rebellious shoulder and stopped their ears that they should not hear. They made their hearts like adamant, lest they should hear the Law, and the Words which the Lord of hosts has sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from the Lord of hosts. And it came to pass, that as He called out and they did not hear, so they call out and I do not hear, says the Lord of hosts; and I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land they left was desolate, so that no one even traveled through it: and the pleasant land was made desolate”.

Zechariah told the people his instructions were not his personal understanding but “the Word of the Lord.” Overstrained devotion to ritual observances misleads men to lay stress upon mint, anise, and cumin—legalism in dress and conduct rather than judgment and mercy—hence he exposed the hollowness of mere outward fastings then reminded them that the cause of their fathers’ ruin was not inattention to ceremonial observances, but disregard to the commonsense duties of justice and humanity. The Lord requires obedience rather than sacrifice and the obstinate disobedience of Jewry today is evident in their determination to build another temple at Jerusalem. But the disobedience of professed Christians in their adamant refusal to hear the Words of the former prophets, and the vindicated “Elijah” of this day whose ministry revealed “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever—in the office of Son of man discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart. . . as it was in the days of Lot,” will cause Him to “smite the Earth with a curse” and they will perish in the great tribulation (Malachi 4:5-6; Luke 17:28-30; Hebrews 13:8; 4:12).

Isaiah 1:4-17 prophesied Judah’s rebellion, the Captivity and desolation, and as Jesus prophesied the moral depravity and religious duplicity of modern Jerusalem (Revelation 11:8), Isaiah also compared Judah to Sodom: “Of what significance is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me? says the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams and with the fat of your fatted calves; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or lambs, or he-goats. When you come to appear in My Presence, who required you to trample My courts with these offerings? Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to Me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I am weary of bearing them. Your new moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates: they have become a burden, I am weary of bearing them. When you spread forth your hands [in supplication] I will hide My eyes from you: even though you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood”.

The Lord was fed up with the religious hypocrisy of the Judeans. And today He is similarly vexed with denominational worshippers. Jesus has cried out to this last age, “You have the Word. You have more Bibles than ever, but you are not doing anything about the Word except dividing and hacking it into pieces, taking what you want and leaving out what you don’t want. You are not interested in LIVING it, but debating it. I would sooner you were cold or hot. If you were cold and rejected it, I could stand that. If you would get white hot to know its truth and live it, I would praise you for that. But when you simply take My Word and don’t honor it, I in return must refuse to honor you. I will spue you out for you nauseate Me” (William Branham, An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 340:3). Therefore the Lord must be grieved with worshippers in the denominations that have arisen in the circle of this Message, whose people know the rhema but not the Logos of the Message and parrot, “The Prophet said”! “The Prophet said”! Not understanding what he MEANT.

Isaiah alludes to God’s promise of redemption from sin by the Blood of the Lamb under the New Testament dispensation (Revelation 7:14): “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your ways from before My eyes; cease from evil; learn to do good; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land: but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken”.

Scarlet was a fast colour which neither dew nor rain nor washing would remove; hence it is used as a metaphor for the fixedness and permanency of sins in the heart of man. No human means will wash them out. No effort of man, no external rites, no tears, no sacrifice, no prayers are of themselves sufficient to wash away that stain.

                  What can wash away my sin?
                  Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.
                  What can make me whole again?
                  Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
                  Oh, precious is the flow
                  That makes me white as snow.
                  No other fount I know,
                Nothing but the Blood of Jesus!

 

Malachi was another straight-talking prophet: “A son honours his father, and a servant his master. If I then am a father, where is My honour? And if I am a master, where is My fear? says the Lord of hosts to you, O priests, who despise My Name. You say, How have we despised Your Name? By offering polluted food upon My altar. And you say, How have we polluted You? By thinking that the table of the Lord may be held in contempt: when you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not evil? And when you offer the lame and the sick, is that not evil? Present that to your [heathen Persian] governor; will he be pleased with you, and show you favour? asks the Lord of hosts. And now, entreat the favour of God, that He may be gracious to us. With such a gift in your hand, will He show favour to any of you, says the Lord of hosts” (Malachi 1:6-9).

That dilatory spirit on the Judeans in the days of Malachi led the Jewish church to crucify the Son of Man four hundred years thence; the same spirit today is leading the Gentile churches to crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh.

We have to say the right thing to God, which means we must have His mind in us. We need to distinguish and correctly place the dispensations of Son of man, Son of God, Son of man, and Son of David if we are to recognize our day and its Message. How can we call upon Him if we do not know whether He is working in the Office of Prophet, Priest, or King, as typed in the Old Testament? Brother Branham said, “Jesus, His Name on earth was Redeemer, Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer; that’s true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on high, He received a new Name. That’s the reason they holler the way they do and don’t get nothing; it’ll be revealed in the thunders. See” (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 158:3)?

Zechariah had rebuked the people for their formalistic self-works that brought “great wrath from the Lord of hosts” as the dreadful consequence of disobedience through carnal reasoning against the revealed Word of God, since perpetuated in the Babylonian Talmud by recalcitrant Jews. God did not want them to abandon the activities ordained in His Word but to align their hearts to His revealed will, and as Isaiah said: if when reasoning is concluded they submit to Him, by grace through faith He will transform their desires into the substance of things hoped for. He does not want you to try your best to obey His Word but to trust, obey, and yield soul, spirit and body to Him. There is nothing man can of himself do for the Lord. He wants the preeminence to live through you and accomplish for you. This alone will bring the Token on display whereby His Life is “known and read of all men”.

After urging the Israelites to obedience by the fate of their fathers, Zechariah in chapter eight urges them to obedience by promises of coming prosperity vouchsafed by a decalogue of “Thus saith the Lords.” Naturally, the promises pertain to the ongoing restoration of the nation; spiritually they will come to pass “in the last days” or Messianic age of redemption and completion when the Kingdom is extended to we Gentiles.

Zechariah 8:1-8, “And the Word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and with great fury [against her oppressors] I am jealous for her. Thus saith the Lord; I am returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called the city of Truth; and the mountain of the Lord of hosts (Isaiah 2:2-3) the holy mountain” (Jeremiah 31:23).

The glory of the Lord departed the Temple when Jerusalem yielded to her foes (Ezekiel 11:23). His absence had caused all of Israel’s woes and His return is the one sure pledge of permanent restoration (Psalm 46). The beginning and indispensable condition of all true prosperity is the Presence of the Lord. Now He has decreed His determination to return to Zion, and Jerusalem was certainly the place where Truth was found for God only meets man under the blood of the lamb so that Jerusalem was then God’s only provided place of worship (Deuteronomy 16:2, 16). However the strict fulfillment of this promise must be referred to the Messianic period for the glory of the Lord never returned in the form of the Shekinah and in the bodily form of Messiah—the Logos and Truth of God manifest (John 17:17), His glory was despised and rejected.

The Shekinah will not return to Jerusalem until it manifests unrecognized above the Mount of Olives signifying the end of the Gentile dispensation and Christ’s second or ‘parousia’ Coming to Israel to take residence in the millennium temple of 144,000 elect Israelites after the midst of Daniel’s Seventieth week (Ezekiel 43:1 – 48:35; Revelation 7:1-8; 14:1-5; 15:2-4; 19:1-9). Throughout the millennium, as in the renewed heavens and renewed Earth, the Shekinah will overshadow God’s dwelling place, which is New Jerusalem, His elect called Jehovah-Shammah: “The Lord is there” (Ezekiel 48:35).

“Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each with a staff in hand for very age. And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets”.

The future restoration of Israel is portrayed in all security and happiness. Long life and a numerous progeny were ordinary theocratic blessings as temporal rewards of obedience (Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 7:13-14).

“Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Because this will appear in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days so difficult as to be incredible, should it be unbelievable in My eyes also that I should be able to fulfill My promises because of natural circumstances? says the Lord of hosts.” A great source of unbelief is the limitations men place upon God’s power. Faith is righteousness, sin is righteousness perverted to unbelief in God’s revealed Word.

“Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will save My people [from all lands as far as the Sun shines] from the land of the sunrise and from the land of the sunset; and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: they shall be My people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness”.

Zechariah proceeds to encourage the Judeans of his day on the basis of these promises. However there is certainly no historical evidence of a general return of the disapora to Palestine and this promise must be restricted to the time of Daniel’s Seventieth Week (Psalm 17:7; Isaiah 6:10-13; 11:11-16; 13:14; 27:13; 49:17; Jeremiah 3:12, 18; 16:15; 23:8; 31:8; Ezekiel 37:14; 39:27; Micah 5:3; Zechariah 10:9-12; Matthew 24:29-31; Revelation 12:14, etc,). Only then God will reconfirm His New Covenant (Jeremiah 31; Daniel 9:27) through the ministry of the two Hebrew witnesses promised in Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11.

Zechariah 8:9-13, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Let your hands be strong, you who in these days hear these Words from the mouth of the prophets, since the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be rebuilt. For before those days there was no wage for man, nor hire for beast; neither was there any peace for anyone going out or coming in because of the enemy: for I had set every man against his neighbour. But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as in the former days, says the Lord of hosts. For I am sowing the seed of peace; the vine shall yield its fruit, and the ground shall give its increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. And as you were a byword of cursing among the heathen, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong”.

To have strong hands is a metaphor meaning “to be of good courage” (Judges 7:11; II Samuel 16:21). In this instance because God is “jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and with great fury [against her oppressors] I am jealous for her” as declared by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah on “the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid that the temple might be rebuilt.” Construction was disrupted by the Samaritans throughout the reigns of Cyrus and Darius, and in the beginning of the reign of Ahasuerus (Ezra 4), so there was great unemployment and insecurity both within the city and in the country where it was no longer safe to farm. But now that the Lord is bringing peace and Judah will prosper, rather than being an imprecatory formula, it will be a formula of benediction among the heathen. The distinct mention of “Judah” and “Israel” here proves there has as yet been no general return of the disapora to Palestine as we commented on verse eight.

Zechariah 8:14-17, “For thus saith the Lord of hosts, As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked Me to wrath, says the Lord of hosts, and I repented not: so have I thought again in these days to do well to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear not. These are the things that you shall do; Speak the truth to one another; judge with truth and justice, leading to peace in your gates. Do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath, for all these are things I hate, says the Lord”.

God’s Word is true, just as His threatened chastisements did not fail to befall the nation when their fathers failed to repent, so His blessings are assured so long as Judah obeys his instructions. “For all these are things I hate,” and in conformity to God’s nature, we should love what God loves and hate what God hates.

Zechariah 8:18-23, “And the Word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love truth and peace”.

Here begins the second “Word of the Lord of hosts” to Zechariah (8:1). And here the prophet answers the enquiry of the delegation from Bethel in Zechariah 7:3 concerning the fast in the fifth month commemorating Nebuchadnezzar’s razing of the city and temple by a reply applying to all of their fasts—the fast of the fourth month in commemoration of the overthrow of Jerusalem (Jeremiah 39:2), the fast of the seventh month in commemoration of the murder of Gedaliah and his companions (Jeremiah 41:1-11), and the fast of the tenth month in commemoration of the commencement of the siege (Jeremiah 52:4)—are to be turned into festivals of joy because the general condition of Judah and Jerusalem will be blessed with such happiness and prosperity as to render fasting inappropriate.

On the day of Pentecost, which inaugurated “the acceptable year of the Lord” or Pentecostal jubilee and release from sin (Isaiah 61:2), ritual fasting including the Day of Atonement was done away, for by one sacrifice for sins Jesus Messiah took away the Law of the Old Testament that He may establish the New Testament of good things to come as witnessed by the baptism of the Holy Ghost which puts God’s laws into our hearts and into our minds and remits our sins so that there is no more offering for sin (Hebrews 10:7-20).

When Israel crucified Messiah the nation rejected its Atonement and the Lord ceased dealing with Israel until the Gentile dispensation is fulfilled (Romans 11:25). We will discover as we progress through Zechariah’s prophecies how the elect of Israel will truly weep, sanctifying one another by separation from all defilements, when they catch the revelation of Christ’s ‘parousia’ Coming to them after the midst of Daniel’s Seventieth Week. “And they shall look upon Him whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn” (Zechariah 12:10; Leviticus 16:29-31; Acts 1:7).

The Holy Spirit will quicken the Message that was delivered by Israel’s “Moses” and “Elijah” “to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion—to give them a laurel wreath instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called oaks of righteousness planted by the Lord for His own glory. And [in the millennium] they shall rebuild the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former devastations and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. . .” (Isaiah 61:3-4).

“And the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (Isaiah 35:10). Glory!

Zechariah 8:20-22, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Peoples shall yet come, even the inhabitants of many cities; the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to beseech the favour of the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts: I too will go. And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the Lord”.

Stimulation of revelation! The Lord is emphatic, notwithstanding all past desolations, yet this will come to pass. And peoples, not merely individuals, but entire nations will embrace Christianity, although the general exhortation, “Let us go speedily” leads to the individual affirmation, I too will go.” This is vouchsafed by the preface “Thus saith the Lord.” Just before Christ’s Coming, a sense of the inadequacy of their systems of philosophy and religion grew up among the heathen which disposed them favorably towards Yahwism embraced by proselytes from various parts of Asia who in turn embraced the fulfillment of its prophecies when Christianity was preached to them (Acts 2:5-12, 37-47; 10:34-48; 13:46-48; Romans 11:12-15; Isaiah 60:1-5; 66:23).

“Thus saith the Lord of hosts, In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men of all languages of the nations shall take hold of the skirt [by the fringe and blue ribbon upon it which was a distinguishing badge of an Israelite (Numbers 15:38; Deuteronomy 22:12)], saying, We will go with you [to Jerusalem]: for we have heard that God is with you”.

Prior to Calvary it was necessary for all adult males to assemble in Jerusalem for worship three times in the year: in the feast of Unleavened Bread, in the feast of Weeks, and in the feast of Tabernacles. Hence Zechariah describes the Gentile converts as seeking the Lord in Jerusalem where the blood of the Pascal lamb was shed; no Israelite could conceive of real conversion except one had come under the blood of the lamb (Deuteronomy 16:16). Thus the glorious conversions of Gentile nations throughout all Seven Church Ages of the Gentile dispensation foretold by Israel’s prophets for Israelite ears were presented throughout the Old Testament in harmony with Jewish conceptions.

Zechariah reveals that future universal salvation is not restricted to Israel alone but the nations of the Gentiles as well, and that the restoration of the Kingdom to Israel will lead to the removal of all the fasts that mourn their refusal to heed the Word of God in the past. Revelation 21:4, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away”. nl702.htm

European Banks set Cash Test by IMF Chief

August 29, 2011 — Christine Lagarde, the IMF’s new chief, set off tremors at the Jackson Hole summit over the weekend with warnings that the global financial system is on very thin ice and vulnerable to the slightest shock. “We are in a dangerous new phase. The stakes are clear: we risk seeing the fragile recovery derailed, so we must act now,” she said.

“Banks need urgent overcapitalization. If it is not addressed we could easily see the further spread of economic weakness to core countries, even a debilitating liquidity crisis. The most efficient solution would be mandatory substantial overcapitalization” . . . Full story: telegraph.co.uk


Air-Launched Cruise Missile in American Airlines Livery

Weapons experts who examined the damage to the Pentagon have almost to a man concluded that the 12-foot hole in the Pentagon could only have been caused by an Air Launched Cruise Missile.

The ‘Liberation’ of Libya: NATO Special Forces and al Qaeda join Hands

August 28, 2011 — The “pro-democracy” rebels are led by al Qaeda paramilitary brigades under the supervision of NATO Special Forces. The “Liberation” of Tripoli was carried out by “former” members of the Libya Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). The jihadists and NATO work hand in glove. These “former” Al Qaeda affiliated brigades constitute the backbone of the “pro-democracy” rebellion. NATO special forces with “boots and the ground” pass unnoticed. Their identity is not known or revealed. They blend into the Libyan rebellion landscape of machine guns and pickup trucks. They are not highlighted in the photo ops.

Special forces composed of US Navy SEALS, British Special SAS Forces and French Legionnaires, disguised in civilian rebel garb, are reported to be behind major operations directed against key government buildings including Gadhafi’s Bab al-Aziziya compound in central Tripoli.

“The NATO Consensus” which upholds the “humanitarian mandate” of the Atlantic alliance cannot be challenged. The bombings of civilian areas as well as the role of a terrorist militia are either trivialized or not mentioned. . . The criminal invasion and occupation of Libya is not mentioned. The lives of independent journalists in Tripoli who report on what is actually happening are threatened. . . The Libya Islamic Fighting Group was listed by the UN until June 10th as a terrorist organization. . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

West Wants to take Control of Libya’s Oil Wealth . . . this is not a revolution. These are NATO trained gunman, and they are al Qaeda related paramilitaries, mercenaries.

They have very little support within civil society in Libya. . . The large majority of the population are against the rebellion, and the only thing that sustains the rebellion, are the NATO bombings. And these are criminal bombings; let’s say what they are. They are in derogation of international law, actions that are criminal in terms of their consequences: the killings of children, the killing of people in their own homes, and this has been well documented.

And what is criminal in this process, is the fact that this war is presented to the media as a humanitarian operation.

Realities are turned upside down. We are told, that war is peace. The lie becomes the truth, essentially that is what has happened. . . neo-colonial, re-conquest of not only Libya, but the whole continent of Africa is contemplated. This implies the militarization of the African Continent with AFRICOM [United States Africa Command]. This is an integral part of the agenda. . . The Libyan Oil Company was a very important state entity, which was there to serve the Libyan people. It was used to finance economic development. It is slated to be taken over and privatized, handed it over to Total, which is the French Oil company and other Western oil companies. . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

US embassy cables released by WikiLeaks on Wednesday and Thursday expose the close collaboration between the US government, top American politicians and Muammar Gaddafi, who Washington now insists must be hunted down and murdered. . . The cables have been virtually blacked out by the corporate media, which has functioned as an embedded asset of NATO and the so-called rebel forces that it directs. It is hardly coincidental that the WikiLeaks posting of the cables was followed the next day by a combination of a massive denial of service attack and a US judge’s use of the Patriot Act to issue a sweeping “production order” or subpoena against the anti-secrecy organization’s California-based Domain Name Server, Dynadot. . .

TR-3B

The pitch black, triangular shaped TR-3B was rarely mentioned—and then, only in hushed whispers—at the Groom Lake facility where he worked. The craft had flown over the Groom Lake runway in complete silence and magically stopped above Area S-4. It hovered silently in the same position, for some 10 minutes, before gently settling vertically to the tarmac. At times a corona of silver blue light glowed around the circumference of the massive TR-3B. The operational model is 600 feet across.

TR-3B Astra US UFOThe TR-3B is Code named Astra. The tactical reconnaissance TR-3B first operational flight was in the early 90s. The triangular shaped nuclear powered aerospace platform was developed under the Top Secret, Aurora Program with SDI and black budget monies. At least 3 of the billion dollar plus TR-3Bs were flying by 1994. The Aurora is the most classified aerospace development program in existence. The TR-3B is the most exotic vehicle created by the Aurora Program. It is funded and operationally tasked by the National Reconnaissance Office, the NSA, and the CIA. The TR-3B flying triangle is not fiction and was built with technology available in the mid 80s. Not every UFO spotted is one of theirs. . .

Comment: Brother Branham said: “Your young men shall see visions, and I’ll show wonders in the heavens above.” Flying saucers and everything, great distress. And the earth will be shaken with divers—big earthquakes will be coming, and great volcanics will take place, and great troubles and distress between the world. The nations will be trying to find peace with a knife behind their back; they’ll be troubled in everywhere: all these things. And men shall grow worse and worse. . .” (Junction of Time, p. 20:140).

Cesium Release equal to 168 Hiroshima A-bombs

August 28, 2011 — The amount of radioactive cesium ejected by the Fukushima reactor meltdowns is about 168 times higher than that emitted in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the government’s nuclear watchdog said Friday. The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency provided the estimate at the request of a Diet panel but noted that making a simple comparison between an instantaneous bomb blast and a long-term accidental leak is problematic and could lead to “irrelevant” results.

The report said the crippled Fukushima No. 1 plant has released 15,000 terabecquerels of cesium-137, which lingers for decades and can cause cancer, compared with the 89 terabecquerels released by the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima. . . Full story: japantimes.co.jp


Washington Monument Crack: ‘Is that a Sign from the Lord?’

August 25, 2011 — Television evangelist Pat Robertson suggested on Thursday that a four-foot crack in the Washington Monument caused by Tuesday’s [5.9] earthquake might be a sign from God.

“Ladies and gentlemen I don’t want to get weird on this so please take it for what it’s worth,” Robertson said. “But it seems to me the Washington Monument is a symbol of America’s power, it has been the symbol of our great nation, we look at that monument and say this is one nation under God. “Now there’s a crack in it, there’s a crack in it and it’s closed up. Is that a sign from the Lord? Is that something that has significance or is it just result of an earthquake? You judge, but I just want to bring that to your attention,” he said.

“It seems to me symbolic,” Robinson said. “When Jesus was crucified and when he died the curtain in the Temple was rent from top to bottom and there was a tear and it was extremely symbolic. Is this symbolic? You judge.”

Comment: At the National Cathedral the earthquake cast religious statuary to the ground. One Nisan 14 very soon, an earthquake will sink Los Angeles, marking the end of the Gentile dispensation.

In Newsletter 139.htm guest contributor, the late Pastor David J. Meyer explained the Washington Monument as the fertility object of the New World Order . . . This represented the reproductive organ of Baal or Satan and caused a conception, which would bring forth a new child or “era” nine months later. Remember that the Washington Monument is a type of Egyptian architecture known as an obelisk, and a quick check at your local library will prove that it represented the reproductive shaft of the sun-god. Also visit theilluminatiwatch.com.

The Washington Monument is like the Tower Babel, “whose top may reach unto heaven.” And when one considers the occult behind Washington (jesus-is-savior.com, and dcsymbols.com). And also the European Union, which is the revival of the Holy [sic] Roman Empire as foretold by Daniel and Jesus one becomes conscious of the extreme lateness of the hour (thewatcher.co.uk).


Zechariah’s Eighth Vision and His Command to Prophetic Pantomime

The eighth of Zechariah’s major continuous visions takes us back to his first, and employing similar imagery portrays the development of the prophecy to his day with Judgment overcoming Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon in the hands of Cyrus the Persian and Darius the Mede. Here the horses and riders of the scouting parties of his first vision are replaced by the war chariots of four successive Gentile world empires sent to execute God’s judgment upon Judah throughout “the times of the Gentiles.” They do not camouflage themselves in a glen among the myrtles but charge from between mountains of brass, emblematic of Divine judgment. In our study of Zechariah’s seventh vision we discovered, “God makes the wicked themselves the agents of punishing and removing wickedness.” He said in Zechariah 1:15: “I am exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion, and I am vehemently displeased with the nations that are at ease: for while I was but a little displeased [with Israel] they afflicted them beyond My intentions.” Thus, when God’s agent of chastisement oversteps the bounds of his commission and evil entreats the Israelites he becomes His enemy, and the Lord sends the succeeding Gentile world empire to overthrow and punish His former agent until His anger is satisfied. But the destruction of the Lord’s enemies is the triumph of His friends, and the eighth vision terminates “the times of the Gentiles.” Thereafter the ministry of Israel’s prophets in the first half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week restores an election of 144,000 Israelites to fellowship with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob after 2,500 years of obstinate disobedience and spiritual blindness. Their recognition of Messiah’s ‘parousia’ Coming will coincide with the Devil-incarnate pope’s abrogation of his covenant with Jewry when, at the dedication he will “sit in the new temple of their g_d, showing that he is God,” forcing his mark of the beast, which is trinitarianism. The so-called Jews and Black Nobility will defect to Judaeo-Communist Russia God has raised as His servant to destroy the apostate fourth Gentile world empire of Rome and all life on Earth, heralding the Millennium and Christ’s physical (Gk. ‘erchomai’) return with the glorified saints of all ages for a thousand years of peace.

Zechariah 6:1-8, “And again I lifted up my eyes and saw four war chariots coming from between two mountains, and those mountains were of brass. The first chariot was drawn by red horses, the second by black horses, the third chariot by white horses, and fourth chariot by dappled gray and bay horses. Then I asked the angel [William Branham] who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?” He replied, “These are the four winds of heaven that go forth from standing before the Lord of all the Earth. The chariot pulled by the black horses is going into the north country, and the white are going there after them. The grisled or dappled grays are going toward the south country.”

“And the war chariot pulled by the powerful bay horses went forth intent on patrolling throughout the whole Earth. And the interpreting angel said, “Go, patrol the Earth. So they patrolled the Earth. Then he summoned me and said: See those going toward the north country have quieted God’s spirit in the North country”.

Zechariah’s eight major continuous visions and the Word of the Lord took place on the same night. The four war chariots represent the Gentile world empires of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome that rule over Jerusalem and Judea throughout “the times of the Gentiles” from Nebuchadnezzar’s overthrow of Judah in 606BC to the consummation. The red horses of the first chariot represent the Babylonian empire, the “head of gold” of the image in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. The black horses pulling the second chariot represents the Medo-Persian empire, the white horses pulling the third chariot represent the Greek empire, and the strong grisled or dappled gray horses of the fourth war chariot represent the Roman empire.

Here each empire is distinguished by the colours of its horses. In Daniel 7:1-8 and Revelation 13:2, Rome, the beast that arose from the sea represents the consummation of historical Antichristianity, hence it is an indescribably ferocious, powerful and untamable wild beast incorporating the characteristics of the previous three Gentile world empires. Satan’s pale sickly green horse of Revelation 6:8 is likewise the sum of the evil attributes of the steeds of the first three Seals. Gray signifies hypocrisy, and the Judaeo-Roman Universal church is the summit of hypocrisy. The leopard’s agility and swiftness represents Greece, the white of whose horses signifies victory; the bear, which moves by creeping and lays in wait for its prey represents Medo-Persia, whose black horses signify sorrow, famine and death; the lion, which tears the prey with its great teeth symbolizes bravery, might and royalty, and represents Babylon, the red colour of whose horses signifies war and bloodshed.

Not understanding the meaning of these symbols, the Prophet asks Brother Branham, the interpreting angel in his vision, “What are these, my lord”? He replied, “These [horses and chariots] are the four winds [NOT spirits] of heaven that go forth from standing before the Lord of all the Earth.”

Psalm 148:8, “Stormy wind fulfilling His Word.” The agency of the “four winds” is destructive judgment, or as Brother Branham put it, “war and strife,” as seen in Jeremiah 49:36, Daniel 7:2, Matthew 24:31, and Revelation 7:1. Here they are the war chariots, or armies of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome which executed His judgment upon Israel then exact His retribution on the empire they overcome.

Isaiah 45:7, “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things” (Amos 3:6). Nebuchadnezzar (Jeremiah 27:6), Cyrus (II Chronicles 36:22-23; Ezra 1:1-2; Isaiah 44:28; 45:1), Alexander the Great (Daniel 8:5, 21), and Titus (Daniel 9:26; Matthew 24:15), were God’s servants to bring “evil”—chastisement on the Israelites with a view to correction, and retributive judgment upon the Gentile world empires who had “helped forward the affliction [beyond God's intentions]“.

The black horses of the Medo-Persian empire “go forth into the North country” to punish Babylon, followed by the white horses of the Greek empire who subdue the Medo-Persian empire lying in the same quarter as Babylon, and finally the grisled or dappled grays of the Roman military “go forth toward the South country [of Egypt],” being part of the third world empire ruled by the Ptolemys after the breakup of the Greek empire following Alexander’s death.

“And the war chariot pulled by the powerful bay horses [of Rome] went forth intent on patrolling throughout the whole Earth [their red colour implying the final great carnage" (Ezekiel 39:1-29; Revelation 19:17-21)]. And the interpreting angel said, “Go, patrol the [whole] Earth. So they patrolled the Earth.” The Roman empire will exercise truly universal totalitarian government (Daniel 7:23; Revelation 10:1-4), and is to continue to the consummation of life when it will be destroyed by Judaeo-Communism which Christ has raised as his servant to destroy the false church (Revelation 18:6-20; 19:17-21). Hence the Holy [sic] Roman Empire will “patrol throughout the whole earth,” counterworking Satan’s “going to and fro in the earth” (Job 1:7; II Thessalonians 2:8,9; I Timothy 4:1), in connection with the last awful development of the fourth world kingdom, for “God makes the wicked themselves the agents of punishing and removing wickedness.”

It is transparently obvious the Holy [sic] Roman Empire is busily “patrolling throughout the whole earth” witnessed in the activities of NATO and its US image in Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Pakistan, Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Japan, and Syria, with Iran, North Korea, China and Russia marked for “humanitarian war” and Hegelian party political sham democracy. There is only one place of safety and that is in “the unity of the faith [in preparation for] the manifestation of the Sons of God [and] the secret, sudden translation [to the] Marriage Supper of the Lamb”.

Then the interpreting angel called aloud to Zechariah, arousing his attention to the intention of the vision and said: “See those going toward the North country have quieted God’s Spirit in the North country.” In Zechariah’s time Babylon alone of the four Gentile world kingdoms had been finally punished; the others had as yet to expiate their sin; today the fourth has still to do so.

God’s Word demands a separation from sin, which is unbelief. In Genesis 12:1-3, “The Lord said to Abram, Go from your father’s country, from your kindred and your father’s house to a land that I will show you: and I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name famous, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and he who curses you I will curse. And in you all families of the earth shall be blessed.” With God’s threefold demand came a threefold promise.

  1. By departing from his country God would lead him to a new land.
  2. By separating from the Chaldean descendents of Shem, he was assured of numerous seed such as would become a nation.
  3. By separating from his father’s house he would receive a personal blessing, and in its wide extension to all the families [of Adam's race], make his name glorious and establish a contrast between the subjects of the blessing and those who by their enmity draw God’s curse upon themselves. Abram is not only the channel but the source of blessing to all through Adam’s kinsman Redeemer.

 

As Zechariah’s eighth vision is leading to the end of the Gentile dispensation, the destruction of Israel’s foes, and the separation and redemption of 144,000 elect Israelites from their kindred by their rebirth as a nation “in one day,” we understand that the blessing was only to those of like precious faith as Abram, not to his natural seed born as racial Israelites, and certainly not to Jews who are mostly non-Semitic and anti-Semitic unbelievers. This is the prelude to the blessing and curse flowing through and from the Church.

In the last eight verses of Zechariah 6 the Word of the Lord comes to His prophet by inspiration rather than the agency of an interpreting angel in a vision, however this communication takes place in the eighth month of the second year of Darius and on the same night as the eight major continuous visions (Zechariah 1:1, 8). Whereas the eighth vision recalled and revealed the fruit of the first vision, the Word of the Lord instructs Zechariah to enact a symbolic pantomime connecting to his fourth vision to confirm Zechariah’s expansive and unambiguous revelation of the universality of the Messianic dispensation, sketching His humble background and His work in redeeming not only Israel, but Gentiles of Adam’s race (Isaiah 49:6; Haggai 2:7), and illustrating the ultimate office of Messiah the Branch whom Israel awaits will be that of King-Priest.

Zechariah 6:9-15, “And the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Receive donations from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, they have arrived from Babylon and this day you are to enter the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah where they are staying. Accept the silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; and say, Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold the Man whose Name is Branch! He shall grow up out of His place and build the temple of the Lord. He shall build the temple of the Lord, and He shall bear the glory [of both offices]; He shall sit and rule upon His throne; He shall be priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between both [offices]. Then place the crowns in the Temple of the Lord to honour Helem [Heldai], and Tobijah, and Jedaiah, and Hen [Josiah] the son of Zephaniah [Josedech], and for a memorial.”

“And those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of the Lord. And when this comes to pass you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. This will come to pass if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God”.

crown and miter of Israel's high priestZechariah is commanded to go to the house of Josiah immediately that night where three delegates sent by the Judeans remaining in Babylon are lodged, there to receive their gift of silver and gold and “make crowns and sit them on the head of Joshua the son of Josedech the high priest.” As illustrated, Israel’s high priest wore a crown above his miter (Zechariah 3:5; Leviticus 8:9). It seems Messiah will wear two distinct diadems forming a composite crown, the silver signifying His office of High Priest and Redeemer, the gold signifying His office of King combined in One Person. As King of kings in Revelation 19:12, Messiah Branch will wear “many crowns,” perhaps one surmounting the other as impersonated by the Papal tiara.

sign of Christ's parousia ComingThis symbolic coronation of Joshua—“Jesus” in Greek and English—meaning “Jehovah is salvation,” is a pantomime to instill in the minds of the Israelites the prophetic fact that this Branch will grow up out of His own land a genuine root shoot from the fallen trunk of David to which the promises had been made. He did not visibly descend from heaven in glory and greatness as the deluded denominational world then and now anticipate, and His first Coming then like His second or ‘parousia’ Coming now was not recognized by denominational circles. Heaven indeed took notice then with the star in the east as now with the Cloud in the west (Matthew 24:27; Acts 1:9-11; Revelation 1:7). Of Joshua Zechariah said, “Behold, the man”—as a remarkable foreshadow of Messiah of whom Pontius Pilate would echo, “Behold the man” (John 19:5). Joshua represented the promised antitypical King-priest; the promise of Messiah soon to come and be revealed in this twofold dignity when He shall “restore the kingdom to Israel” (Acts 1:6). Joshua, who was not of the tribe of Judah or the House of David, but a Levite, is presented as a type of Messiah and called Branch as if He were present: He will build the Temple, not that then in construction, which is to be completed by Zerubbabel (Zechariah 4:9) and was merely the embodiment and symbol of spiritual truths, but the Spiritual realization of New Jerusalem wherein “the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the Temple” (Isaiah 60:5, 9-11; Haggai 2:7-9; Malachi 3:1; Revelation 21:22-26). The Temple Messiah builds and in which “even He [notwithstanding His lowly origin] shall bear the glory [of kingly majesty]” is the invisible Temple of the universal Church, “a house of prayer for all people” (Isaiah 56:7; Mark 11:17; Ephesians 2:21; I Peter 2:5). Branch will possess the honour and dignity of King and exercise royal authority, and uniting the priesthood in Himself will take such counsel as results in peace (Isaiah 9:6-7; Ephesians 1:8,11; Hebrews 6:17).

Here we see the true union of Church and State in our King-priest Christ, in whom the Aaronic line and the Davidic line both culminate, for He is our high priest after the order of Melchisedec, “priest of the most high God . . . who was as His name means, King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is King of peace” (Hebrews 7:1-2). The historic unions of church and state and the office of priest-king in all four of the Gentile world empires is an impersonation of Messiah as represented in Zechariah’s seventh vision by the two women bearing the ephah of wickedness “to build it a house in the [metaphorical] land of Shinar”.

How Christ-like was Brother Branham behind whose sin-born flesh the fullness of the Spirit was veiled as a son of man to “reveal the Son of man” (Luke 17:30). Like Jesus, he grew up as a root out of a dry ground in lowly humiliation, uneducated, inarticulate and poorly spoken, his father a drunkard and his family impoverished. He was born a prophet, but until the Lord commissioned him to “do the work of an evangelist” he was known simply as a reputable young man and part-time pastor in a rural village as Jesus was a humble carpenter. Like Jesus, Brother Branham prophesied throughout his childhood and early ministry, and his prophecies were fulfilled. But even as each in their ministries performed such works as no other man did and spoke as no other man spoke, at times gathering huge crowds which soon fell away, both were despised and rejected of men. Yet both men were building on the same invisible Temple of grace wrought in the hearts and manifested in the lives of God’s people, and which, like a branch is not quite full-grown. These members vary widely in many respects, but are alike characterized by the indwelling Holy Spirit, the source of their new life and their connection with the Head.

After explaining the meaning of Joshua’s coronation, the Lord proceeds to tell Zechariah the reason why the silver and gold of which the crowns were fabricated, and why they were to be obtained from the delegates sent by Judahites who lived far from their native land. After being placed on the head of Joshua they were to be preserved in the temple as a memorial of the deputies from Babylon and to extend the significance of the pantomime.

“And those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of the Lord.” The Babylonian exiles who assisted in the rebuilding of Solomon’s temple by furnishing the silver and gold—redemption and deity—with which to crown Messiah, type us Gentiles who would constitute the bulk of “lively stones” of which Messiah is building His Temple; who recognize Him as King-priest by grace through faith. “Those who are far off” is the expression Peter used of us on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:38-39), and Paul in Ephesians 2:17; these Scriptures correspond to Genesis 9:27; 17:5, Isaiah 56:6-8; 66:19, and Micah 4:3. So much for British Israel and (so-called) Christian Identity theory. Isaiah 2:2, “In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it”.

The Lord God’s communication with Zechariah is completed in His command to tell the Judeans, “When you see Gentiles being baptized into Jesus Messiah, who is the true Temple of God, this will be My vindication of Zechariah’s ministry.” And when the Judahites asked Jesus, “If you have God’s authority to cast the money changers from the temple, confirm it by showing us a miraculous sign. Jesus replied, Very well, this is the miracle I will perform for you: destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up. . . But He spoke of the Temple of His Body” (John 2:19-21). And you who have been baptized into Christ are “also builded together for a Holy Temple in the Lord through the Spirit” (Ephesians 1:21-22; I Corinthians 3:16). Finally Zechariah was told to inform the Judeans, “You, too, will by lively stones that make up the true Temple of the Lord, IF you will diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God”. nl701.htm
