Black Alliance for Peace: Struggle in Haiti and Venezuela Connected

February 18, 2019 — The recent revelation that Haitian President Jovenel Moïse embezzled nearly $4 billion Venezuela had loaned the island nation a decade ago caused the popular uprising taking place in the country. And this is where we see where US interventions in Venezuela and Haiti connect.

Moïse is nothing more than a puppet controlled by the US government to disallow Haitian self-determination.

The Haitian people are no strangers to the tentacles of US interventionism, which has been in place since the 19-year occupation commenced by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915 . . . actors associated with the US stranglehold on Haiti and its right to self-determination may have changed—from Wilson, to Clinton, to Obama—but the strategy and modus operandi have remained consistent. The method involves financial manipulation, election rigging and racketeering. Full story: globalresearch.ca

Comment: For more than a decade Venezuela has aided the governments of Haiti and the Dominican Republic through a preferential system known as Petrocaribe, which provided subsidized crude oil prices . . . In spite of the backstabbing vote of the corrupt Dominican and Haitian administration’s against Venezuela at the OAS, the people of Hispaniola’s solidarity with Venezuela has been manifest in many ways (tonyseed.wordpress.com).


Hands off Venezuela

February 16, 2019 — As Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza read out their new statement, declaring the illegality of unilateral coercive economic sanctions, and territorial invasions, it became obvious that the power of this new solidarity, which includes China, Russia, Cuba, DPRK, Syria, Iran, Palestine, Nicaragua, Venezuela, etc. constitutes a formidable force which Western capitalism will antagonize at its own peril. This is a long overdue counterforce to Western domination of the United Nations, a domination based on money, on the large payments enabling the US and other capitalist powers to bribe, threaten and otherwise control the direction of the UN, and distort and destroy the independence, impartiality and integrity which the UN requires in order to maintain its legitimacy, and implement the sustained global peace and justice for which Franklin Delano Roosevelt created it . . .

Full Spectrum Dominance

February 7, 2019 — Two weeks ago, Washington crowned Juan Guaidó President of Venezuela, . . . declared President Maduro illegitimate . . . and pre-announced his deportation to Guantánamo . . . This week Washington took a step further . . . NATO expanded once again with . . . North Macedonia as its 30th member . . . Washington . . . taking—an increasingly rapid succession of acts of force by which the USA and the other Western powers will attempt to hold on to unipolar predominance in a world which is fast becoming multipolar.

This strategy—an expression not of strength but of weakness . . . tramples on the most elementary rules of international law. The emblematic case in point is the adoption of new sanctions against Venezuela, with the ‘freeze’ of 7 billion dollars belonging to the state oil company, with the declared purpose of preventing Venezuela, the country which has the greatest oil reserves in the world, from exporting oil . . . the US Treasury Department, together with the Ministers of Finance and the governors of the central banks of the European Union and Japan . . . sequestered 31 tonnes of gold bars belonging to the Venezuelan state . . . cold-faced theft . . . economic strangulation . . . to accelerate its collapse. . .

With the same contempt for the most elementary rules of conduct in international agreements, the United States and their allies accuse Russia of violating the INF Treaty, without presenting the slightest proof, while ignoring the satellite photos broadcast by Moscow which prove that the United States had begun to prepare the production of nuclear missiles forbidden by the Treaty, on a site belonging to Raytheon, two years before they accused Russia of violating the Treaty. Finally . . . the forthcoming expansion of NATO . . . Full story: voltairenet.org

Comment: According to Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova . . . “A provocation, involving victims, is being put together under the guise of a humanitarian convoy . . . They need it just as a pretext to use outside force, and everyone should understand that”.


Zionism contradicts Judaism

Zionist occult flag

February 14, 2019 — New York historian, journalist, and lecturer, Alfred M. Lilienthal, was the leading 20th century American Jewish spokesman against the Zionist project of creating a Jewish state in Palestine. His views gained a wide audience in the United States when his essay, Israel’s Flag is not My Flag,” was published in the September 1949 Reader’s Digest. The following is an excerpt from that article, which was written in the form of a letter to his mother:

“The plain fact is that we Jews are not a race and we should not let the Zionists persuade us that we are. Proof to the contrary lies in Palestine, plain for all to see. You had my letter, Mother, from my Army furlough there. I was second to none in my enthusiasm for what my co-religionists had done for a desert brought to bloom, for clean new cities rising out of age-old sand dunes. All of these wonders had come to pass while only a few fanatics talked of statehood. One evening I went to see a performance of an opera in Jerusalem. In that theater lobby you could distinguish almost at a glance the Yiddish-speaking Ashkenazic Jew from Poland, the Spanish-speaking Sephardic Jew from North Africa or Turkey, the German Jew, Jews from a score of countries all differing in dress, language, manners and mental attitudes. I had visual proof of the arguments of anthropologists who laugh at the notion of a distinct Jewish race . . .”

It is dangerous, indeed, because it is precisely the sort of paranoia and us-against-the-world mentality upon which the very dangerous little state of Israel is founded. Take it from Lilienthal, as bad ideas go, this Israel foolishness has to be just about the worst . . .

“This highly intelligent, well-educated man was Jewish. He was strictly against the creation of the State of Israel and said that it would spawn great problems in the Middle East. So it has. The Zionist creators of the State of Israel operated by lies, deception, trickery, subterfuge, and even harassed their own Jewish people in order to force them to immigrate to Palestine. They even had the power to manipulate the delegates of the United Nations who made recommendations for this situation at that time. Enter King David Hotel Bombing into your search engine, and you will discover Menachem Begin, former Prime Minister of Israel, was a Zionist terrorist, who masterminded this bombing, resulting in the death of a great number of people, including the British High Command whose job it was to keep law and order under the British Mandate. An excellent read for those of you who are not afraid to discover the truth. Remember, Lilienthal was Jewish”.

He might also have suggested a search of “Menachem Begin Deir Yassin Massacre” to get a bit more of the flavour of the terrorist role that Begin played in the creation of the state of Israel. One of the better articles one comes up with is “Deir Yassin: The Massacre that Sparked the Nakba” by Britt Wilkins on Counterpunch. Full story: heresycentral.is

Comment: Theodore Herzl, the father of modern political Zionism, argued that a Jewish state in Palestine would “form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism.”


Pope & Islam’s most important Imam signed a Covenant pushing us closer to One World Religion

Symbol of union between Islam and Rome

February 11, 2019 — Billed as “the most significant prophetic event this year! (2019)” youtu.be. A historic interfaith covenant was signed in the Middle East on Monday, and the mainstream media in the United States has been almost entirely silent about it. Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb is considered to be the most important imam in Sunni Islam, and he arrived at the signing ceremony in Abu Dhabi with Pope Francis “hand-in-hand in a symbol of interfaith brotherhood” . . . [this revelation is a step towards the establishment of a Judeo-Sunni alliance against Shiite Iran, as announced by US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo. The beast and its image are in lock-step – Ed].

Vatican

The pope and the grand imam of al-Azhar have signed an historic declaration of fraternity, calling for peace between nations, religions and races, in front of a global audience of religious leaders from Christianity, Islam, Judaism and other faiths.

Pope Francis, the leader of the world’s Catholics, and Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the head of Sunni Islam’s most prestigious seat of learning, arrived at the ceremony in Abu Dhabi hand-in-hand in a symbol of interfaith brotherhood.

In other words, there was a concerted effort to make sure that all of the religions of the world were represented at this gathering. According to the official Vatican website, a tremendous amount of preparation went in to the drafting of this document, and it encourages believers from all religions “to shake hands, embrace one another, kiss one another, and even pray” with one another . . .

The document, signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Tayeb, was prepared “with much reflection and prayer”, the Pope said. The one great danger at this moment, he continued, is “destruction, war, hatred between us.” “If we believers are not able to shake hands, embrace one another, kiss one another, and even pray, our faith will be defeated,” he said. The Pope explained that the document “is born of faith in God who is the Father of all and the Father of peace; it condemns all destruction, all terrorism, from the first terrorism in history, that of Cain.”

There is a lot of language about peace in this document, but it goes way beyond just advocating for peace. Over and over again, the word “God” is used to simultaneously identify Allah and the God of Christianity . . . Full story: intellihub.com

Comment: Before his untimely death in 1999, Jewish Jesuit Dr. Malachi Martin, who was with Vatican intelligence assessing things in Israel and an adviser to three popes told Uri Dowbenko, “I think that from the very start John Paul II for whatever reasons has sought after one thing and one thing only. The formation of what now appears to be in his mind, a universal assemblage of Catholics at the core; grouped with them the Protestant denominations, sects and churches; grouped around them believing Jews, believing Muslims, believing Hindus, believing Buddhists. And that would be a universal religious assembly that could have a powerful dynamic kick in civilization and in solving the problems of men and women today. That is the only thing you can really say this man has sought heart and soul and body with all his travelling. . .” (Uri Dowbenko, Bushwhacked: Inside Stories of True Conspiracy, ISBN 0971004218, p. 213).


Iran is Cornered

February 7, 2019 — The United States is preparing to organise the ‘Greater Middle East’ without their troops . . . to create a Judeo-Sunni military alliance, dubbed the ‘Arab NATO’ by the Press . . . to fight the Shiites. On January 10, during a conference at the American University of Cairo, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo set the aims of the Ministerial:

— to oppose the ‘Iranian regime’ and its ‘representatives’;

— to set up a strategic Judeo-Sunni Alliance against Shiite Iran.

. . . US foreign policy . . . must be connected with the return of [The Jew] Elliott Abrams to the State Department after 30 years of absence. This Trotskyite, rallied in 1980 to Republican President Reagan, is one of the founders of the neoconservative movement. He is also one of the initiators of theopolitics, the school of thought which allies Zionist Jews and Christians, according to which the Earth will know peace only when it has a world government based in Jerusalem [ruled by the Pope – Ed].

Elliott Abrams participated in the ‘Iran-Contras operation’, which notably consisted of selling Israeli weapons via Sheik Hassan Rohani (currently the Iranian President) to Ayatollah Hachemi Rafsandjani (who consequently became the richest man in his country) in order to resist the Iraqi attack (which was also commanded by Washington). This operation was carried out without the knowledge of Congress, then condemned, and later amnestied by President Bush Sr.

During this period, Abrams was implicated in several massacres, in Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua . . . considering that the states implicated in the war against Syria will be awarded a privileged status, Israel is claiming responsibility for a number of anti-Syrian operations which it had so far refused to mention . . .

Comment: The crisis which is destabilising Venezuela, like those which are beginning in Nicaragua and Haiti, needs to be analysed in order to enable us to address it. Readers and subscribers in Africa, the Middle East, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela must read the full story (above and below).

Five heavily armed suspected US mercenaries, Burton Talon, Christopher Osman M, Daniel Dustin, Estera Michael, Kroeker Kent Leland, Danilo Bajavic, and Vlad Jankovic, were arrested in Haiti, caught in possession of automatic weapons, pistols, satellite phones, and drones according to a CNN report. All of the Americans have US military and special forces backgrounds, and appear to be career private security contractors, one is a Serbian national and another is said to be Russian. Possibly employed by US puppet, President Jovenel Moïse to put down the civil unrest. Uncle Sam has huge pools of ‘well-qualified’ Haitian criminal-type ex-pats to do all kinds of mischief after extensive “re-orientation.” Please uphold the Haitian believers in prayer.

London is planning to open two permanent military bases. The first will probably be in Asia (Singapore or Brunei), and the second in Latin America—most likely in Guyana, in order to participate in the new stage of the Rumsfeld-Cebrowski strategy of the destruction of those regions of the world which are not connected to globalisation. After the ‘African Great Lakes,’ the ‘Greater Middle East,’ it’s time for the ‘Caribbean Basin.’ The war will probably start with an invasion of Venezuela by Colombia (pro-US), Brazil (pro-Israeli) and Guyana (pro-British) (voltairenet.org).


OBGYN who Delivered 5,000 Babies: Abortion is ‘never’ necessary to Protect a Woman’s Health

February 12, 2019 — Doctor and Kansas Rep. Roger W. Marshall wrote an op-ed saying there aren’t any reasons why a late-term abortion is necessary to protect a woman’s health. “To this day, I can’t think of a single scenario where I thought a late-term abortion would help to improve a woman’s mental health,” Marshall wrote in a Monday op-ed published by Fox News. “Contrary to the pro-abortion movement, regardless of the mother’s underlying medical health, I never saw the scenario where we had to choose between a mom’s life and a baby.”

Marshall is an obstetrician who has delivered more than 5,000 babies in Western Kansas over 25 years. He also served as an OB-GYN at a state mental health hospital and prison . . . “Point blank, late-term abortions are unsafe and are more dangerous than naturally occurring childbirth in almost any situation” . . .

Why Big Brother wants you to drive an EV

Electric Vehicle

February 14, 2019 — In an attempt to boost the number of electric vehicles on our roads, Infrastructure Australia is calling for a country-wide rollout of charging sites. In its list of priority projects, the statutory authority is recommending fast charging sites be established along the national highway network to be used by trucking companies and by private drivers . . . Australians aren’t buying them. EVs make up just 0.2% of Australian cars. Full story: abc.net.au

Comment: Just before the start of the 2018 season, Formula 1 chairman emeritus Bernie Ecclestone urged the sport’s commercial rights holder, Liberty Media, to make a radical break with the past and embrace an electric-powered future (reuters.com i.e. Rothschild).

The most popular motivation proposed by industry and government is environmental. But the manufacture of uneconomical wind turbines, short-lived solar panels and electric vehicles all use energy sources that are highly destructive to the natural environment. So, if saving the environment isn’t the real motivation for the adoption of EVs, then what is?

EVs are cheaper to manufacture and maintain with 99% less moving parts than an average ICE and dealerships have no competition with used EVs. Profit, not the environment motivates automakers to pursue EVs. The next evolution of EVs will be self-driving cars that must always be connected to a network. Big Brother will know the location of every self-driving car at all times, and could reroute it to a government location at any time.


 

The Promise of the Rapture

The ‘rapture’ is a revelation, a promise that either apprehends and avoids death, or overcomes and restores one by and to “the way, the truth and the Life” (John 14:6). Put simply, rapturing faith ensures a saint living in this sin-cursed world will be transferred into the Sixth Dimension without death, or transposed from death to eternal Life in glorified flesh. Hebrews 11:5, “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.” Likewise Elijah was translated or transferred into the Sixth Dimension without death (II Kings 2:11). Then on the third day from His crucifixion Jesus Christ, the fullness of the Word was transposed from death to glorified flesh.

Brother Branham said, “the evidence of the Holy Spirit is righteousness”; the ‘rapture’ is the blessing for righteousness (Feast of Trumpets, p. 14:101-102). Moses said, “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall one who is worthy of death be put to death” (Deuteronomy 17:6). We are speaking of death and have provided the witness of three raptures in the Old Testament, including that of Jesus Christ, the Headstone and our KINSMAN Redeemer “who is our peace, and having broken down the middle wall of partition, made both one” (Ephesians 2:14). Concerning the Old Testament saints Paul explained, “All of these, having obtained a good witness through faith, did not receive the promise, because God foresaw some better thing for us, that without us [their Queen, Christ’s New Testament Wife] they should not be made perfect, consecrated and glorified” (Hebrews 11:39-40).

The Old Testament saints could not receive the promise of remission of sins and Abraham’s blessing in their lifetime (Genesis 12:4). The real Pascal Lamb Jesus Messiah was yet to fulfil the part of KINSMAN Redeemer, meet sin’s price, enter the heavenly sanctuary “by His own Blood,” and “having obtained eternal redemption for us [New Testament saints]” cleanse the heavenly sanctuary of the accumulated sins of the Old Testament saints (Hebrews 9:12). The promised blessing of sinless “perfection” which was not available under the Law has come by grace to us New Testament saints whereby “we draw nigh unto God” who is present now (Hebrews 7:11, 19).

Enoch is our type, one man chosen from the seventh generation from the first Adam and translated without death before the destruction by water: Christ’s end-time Bride is a few called and chosen from the seventh generation of the last Adam. We will be translated without death before the consummation by fire. The rapture has many Old Testament shadows and types: by revelation Abraham knew God would renew he and Sarah physically so that they could conceive their promised son in accord with His promise, and spare Isaac’s life from sacrifice to safeguard the lineage for the promised Seed. The vicarious atonement of Israel’s Pascal Lamb was a type fulfilled by Jesus Christ our near KINSMAN Redeemer to satisfy God’s Law of redemption. Jesus Christ was both raised from the grave, and after forty days, visibly assumed into heaven.
the Body of Christ, Stature of a Perfect Man
In Luke 16:19-31 Jesus recounted the parable of the rich man and Lazarus the beggar. Both men died and went into the realms of the departed pending Calvary; Lazarus to paradise, and the rich man to torment pending judgment. Although the prisoners could see and communicate with one another they were separated by an impassable chasm. Following Calvary Jesus’ body went to the tomb; His soul re-entered His theophany and descended to the place of the departed where He vindicated Adam, Enoch, Abraham and the prophets and saints; this was a condemnation of those on the other side. He next raised and glorified His Own body; Mary Magdalene chanced on Him in the garden before He ascended to cleanse the heavenly sanctuary. Thereafter He descended to the place of the departed and led the saints who had been captives of death, captive of eternal Life; they entered in with His resurrection and paradise was done away (Ephesians 4:8-10).

Like Mary, Christ’s end-time Bride chanced upon Him before He has cleansed the heavenly realm for the resurrection and translation, and cast down His Adversary. On earth believers, un-believers and make-believers all worship Christ and communicate with one another, but a chasm, the breach between the Church Ages and the Revelation of the Seven Seals marked “Holy Spirit” separates the make-believer and the un-believer from Christ and the Believer. One can only cross the chasm into the Capstone by a clear revelation of the Message of the “seventh angel,” the Prophet William Branham. This revelation is the ‘rapture’.

There has already been one witness under the New Testament, Matthew 27:50-53, “When Jesus had cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks rent; and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, went into the holy city, and appeared to many.” This was the third rapture in the Old Testament. Jesus was the Keystone that tied the Old and New Testaments together. After forty days He was assumed into heaven (Acts 1:9-11); this was the first of three raptures in the New Testament.

Revelation 1:9 mentions the Great Tribulation that came upon Christ’s Church (Matthew 24:15; Revelation 7:14) it commenced in AD70 when Roman Legions were sighted upon Mount Scopus surveying the City of Jerusalem which had been controlled by Judean rebel factions since AD66.

Revelation 1:10-14 describes John who was in the Spirit in the Lord’s Day after the Seventh Trumpet. He turns to look back into the past where the Seventh Trumpet sounded the end of the Christian dispensation. The Church Ages were all fulfilled, Christ was no longer in the office Son of God and mediator but Son of Man and Judge. He sees the saints drawn out of the lamp stands at one with the Word and dressed as judges “like unto the Son of man.” He is about to reveal the Revelation of Jesus Christ—how He redeemed the saints in each Church Age, and who they were (Why Are We not a Denomination, p. 36:180, 182).

Revelation 1:15-18, His Voice was the testimony of His many-membered Bride of all Ages rising up in judgment against the sinner who would not take warning. The wise and foolish both heard and answered the “Shout,” but only the wise with oil in their lamps heard the “Voice of the Archangel,” Christ, whispering His secrets to the hearts of His elect. Jesus is here portrayed as Peter, James and John saw Him transfigured into His second or ‘parousia’ Coming, introduced first to his end-time Bride by the Elijah of Malachi 4:6b and Matthew 17:11, then to Israel by the Moses and Elijah of Zechariah 4:12, Matthew 24:31 and Revelation 11:3-12. Jesus had “the keys of hell [the grave] and death”

Revelation 1:11, 19, “WRITE the things which you have see” in the visions of Revelation 1:11-18 which was a prophetic overview of the Book; “and the things which are”—the Seven Church Ages of Revelation 1-3; “and the things that will be hereafter [the Church Ages]” described in Revelation 4 – 22—the rapture revelation, the modern Israel state, the first resurrection and translation, the 144,000, consummation, millennium, general resurrection, White Throne Judgment, and the renewed heavens and earth.

Revelation 4:1, “After these things”—the close of the Church Ages when the Blood has left the Mercy Seat, Christ’s Mediation is fulfilled, Redemption is over, and Christ’s PART-Word Church Age Bride enters the Presence via the grave. She is not seen again until she returns in Christ’s (Gk.) ‘parousia’ Coming to Israel just before Armageddon when she will be seen universally by “every eye” (Daniel 7:13; Zechariah 12:9-14; Matthew 16:27 – 17:9; 24:30; John 19:37; Acts 1:9-11; 3:21; Revelation 1:7; 19:11-21).

The Laodicean Church Age ended in Revelation 3:22, the Mercy Seat became a Judgment Seat, and when Christ claimed the Book of Redemption and opened the Seals He was no longer Son of God and Mediator, but Son of man and Judge (John 5:27). Earth is Christ’s domain and the place of His Judgment. However God’s wrath is restrained and tribulation will be withheld until the Holy Spirit departs earth in the resurrection of the Church Age saints and the translation of Christ’s end-time Bride (I Thessalonians 2:6). Our presence stays God’s wrath and grace continues until the last member of Christ’s end-time Bride recognizes her position in the Word and enters her place in the Body (Revelation 3:8a; 4:1a). So the earth is a Mercy Seat until we go Home because we are the Blood of Christ by the baptism with the Holy Ghost as the Life is in the Blood.

Like Jesus Christ and the Old Testament saints, the New Testament saints will rise Church Age by Church Age commencing on the first Day of Pentecost, three days after the Seventh Trump sounds and the earthquake sinks Los Angeles, typed by Leviticus 23:4-21 and Matthew 27:45-53. Los Angeles will sink on Nisan 14, or Good Friday, between 6.00 a.m. and 7.00 a.m., (after the Third Watch and about an hour into the Third Hour of the day), the time of the Morning Sacrifice. When the Sixth Seal manifests “there will be a great earthquake; and the sun will become black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon will become as blood” (Revelation 6:12; The Rapture, p. 26:127; The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 434:4 – 435:7; 445:6-7).

The earthquake will mark the climax of the threefold PROCESS of the ‘rapture’ Paul expounded in I Corinthians 15:35-58. As I speak the rapture has been in process for fifty-six years. The “shout” of I Thessalonians 4:16 was the Message of William Branham, the Prophet of Malachi 4:5, 6b and Matthew 17:11, “the Voice of the seventh angel” (Revelation 10:7) which was the “midnight cry” of Matthew 25:6 awakening the sleeping virgins and calling them OUT from Rome and her apostate (once) Protestant harlot daughter Churches to maturity in “the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation” (Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:9). His Message was confirmed by the heavenly voice of Revelation 18:4; it introduced the second Coming of Christ our Bridegroom in the prophetic office Son of man. The revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963 brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form.

“The Voice of the Archangel” is Christ whispering His secrets in the heart of His Bride, placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation. The “Trump” which we have been discussing will be Israel’s Seventh Trump, calling 144,000 elect Israelites, not one of whom will be a so-called Jew, to the Land of their Covenant to receive the Message of the two Hebrew Prophets of Zechariah 4:12, Matthew 24:31, and Revelation 11:3-6.

In one day this unprecedented natural cataclysm will wreak universal death and destruction infinitely greater than World Wars I and II. With fear of nuclear warfare, collapse of the US dollar, national currencies and the global economy, the only agencies organized and prepared for such disaster will be the churches. And the saints recognizing the Christian dispensation has ended, will caution family and loved ones, neighbours and anyone prepared to lend an ear, that they must face inevitable martyrdom but upon no circumstances should they continue to cling to the dogma of the trinity or even serve Rome, for that is the mark of the beast. Imagine our reproach when we thus slander the goodness and genuine self-sacrifice of millions risking life and limb to bring relief, provide food, clothing, rescue the perishing and care for the dying?

Christ’s end-time Bride will eventually become a hunted and persecuted little group: bereft we will exercise the ‘third pull’ for our necessities, and what we speak God will do during “the manifestation of the Sons of God” for we will be simply expressing His will “with the mind of Christ in us” (Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 2:16). His purpose in this experience will be to elevate faith in us for translation grace for His glory “according to the working of His mighty power which He wrought in Christ when He [changed Him in the atoms], and raised Him from the dead” (Ephesians 1:19-20).

Australia minus QueenslandThe earthquake that marks the close of the Christian dispensation will sink a 1,500 x 300-400 mile segment of earth’s crust beneath the Pacific Ocean. This is equivalent to the land area of the Australian State of Queensland (1.853 million km² or 715,300 mi²). If you live in western Europe you will appreciate that this could encompass the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Holland and Germany all disappearing from the face of the earth in one day. If you live in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or Burma it is equivalent to 60% of the sub-continent sinking. If you reside in eastern Europe it would represent 40% of Russia becoming an ocean. If you reside in West Africa, it would approximate the whole of Nigeria, Congo, Cameroon, Benin, Togo and Equatorial Guinea; or if you live in South Africa, it would encompass that nation, Zimbabwe, and more.

Regarding the USA, although Brother Branham said that San Francisco will not be destroyed by the earthquake, He explained “there is a two-or three-inch crack that come in the earth, starting in Alaska, goes around through the Aleutian Islands, comes out about a hundred and fifty or two hundred miles in the sea, comes back up at San Diego; takes in California, or Los Angeles, and comes out again just below the northern part of California there, a little place called San Jose, just below there . . . This was a sermon that I preached on . . . here in the church . . . it said, “The time will come . . .” that . . . the ocean shall weep its way into the desert.” That was thirty years ago. And, of course, the Salton Sea is about two hundred feet below sea level, and if that big churning, that earth swallowing in like that, with hundreds of square miles, hundreds and hundreds of square miles sinking into the earth, that will throw a tidal wave plumb to Arizona. Sure, it would” (Ashamed, p. 9:52-53, 60-61).

The Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys south from Sacramento and east from San Francisco will be drowned to Bakersfield in the South; Los Angeles will sink beneath the Pacific and the Salton Sea, Imperial Valley and the Gulf of California, located directly on the San Andreas Fault, are almost entirely 235ft (72m) below sea level. When the Hoover Dam below Las Vegas bursts, the Colorado River will baptise Mexicali and Baja, and the Pacific Ocean will lap Arizona, as is obvious from the topographical map.

Brother Branham prophesied, “Thou city, who claims to be the city of the Angels, who has exalted yourself into heaven, and sent all the dirty, filthy things of fashions and things, till even the foreign countries come here to pick up our filth and send it away, to your fine churches and steeples, and so forth, the way you do. Remember, one day you’ll be laying in the bottom of the sea, your great honeycomb under you right now. The wrath of God is belching right beneath you. How much longer He will hold this sandbar hanging out over that? When that ocean out yonder, a mile deep, will slide in there, plumb back to the Salton Sea. It’ll be worse than the last day of Pompeii. Repent, Los Angeles. Repent, the rest of you, and turn to God. The hour of His wrath is upon the earth. Flee while there’s time to flee, and come into Christ. Let us pray” (The Choosing of a Bride, p. 35:229-232).

“A prophecy that I made, about 1935 or something like that, and said, “The time would come,” it’s written in a book somewhere, “that the sea would weep its way into the desert . . . If that thousands of square miles falls down into the lava of the earth, and slides in, there will be millions die at one time. And that’ll cause such a tidal wave! Remember, plumb up into the Salton Sea, is a hundred or two hundred feet lower than the sea level. That water will probably come almost to Tucson, with that tidal wave coming across there. “And the sea shall weep its way into the desert” (Trying to do God a Service without being the Will of God, p. 6:25).

In 1986 when I was ministering in Holland, pastor Harry Van der Stel informed me he had seen a Russian submarine commander interviewed on television; he told the presenter he navigated his craft beneath Los Angeles and miles inland through cavernous tunnels hollowed out by the sea.

Brother Branham said, “As the scientists said the other day, on the television, speaking of the great thousands-of-miles break in the earth that’s going to sink. He was asked the question, “It could sink there?” That’s Los Angeles, the West Coast. And many of you seen how they followed it with radar, and went up through . . . broke in below San Jose, went across over into Alaska, out through the Aleutian Islands, about two hundred miles out into the sea, and come back down into San Diego, went around in behind Los Angeles, and come up there, a great pocket” (Anointed Ones at the End Time, p. 4:18).

“Now, the last few days . . . here come out a paper of science, said, “It’s all honeycombed, it’s got to go under.” They just know it. And you watch, the water will come plumb back into the Salton Sea. Los Angeles is doomed for judgment. I tell you before it happens, that you might know when it does happen. I never spoke that by myself. And I’ve never had Him to tell me one thing but what happened. And you can bear record of that. That’s right. When? I don’t know” (Works is Faith Expressed, p. 8:62-64).

Now not only did Brother Branham prophesy the sinking of much of California, he made a similar prophecy concerning Florida, much of which will sink beneath the Atlantic. The Florida peninsula is a porous plateau of karst limestone sitting atop bedrock known as the Florida Platform . . . Extended systems of underwater caves, sinkholes and springs are found throughout the state and supply most of the water used by residents, the limestone is topped with sandy soils.

In 1953 the Prophet said, “one of these days there isn’t going to be any Florida. She’s going to be sunk, and the things that you so worship now will perish” (#53-1129A, The Faith that was Once Delivered to the Saints).

“Nations are breaking. The world is falling apart. Fifteen-hundred-mile chunk of it, three- or four-hundred-miles wide, will sink, hundred . . . or maybe forty miles down into that great fault out yonder, one of these days, and waves will shoot plumb out to the state of Kentucky. And when it does, it’ll shake the world so hard that everything on top of it will shake down” (A Thinking Man’s Filter, p. 4:144).

New Madrid FaultThe New Madrid Fault extends from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes. In the Mississippi Valley it has repeatedly produced sequences of major earthquakes, including several of magnitude 7 to 8, and as recently as 1811-1812 the river flowed backwards. New Orleans independent geologist Jack M. Reed believes the origin of earthquakes along the New Madrid seismic zone lie beneath the Gulf of Mexico. According to him, the Gulf was and is tectonically active—and is the likely origin for not only the New Madrid seismic activity, there is an apparent connection of the New Madrid seismic zone with the Gulf rift features to the south. This northeast trending earthquake zone appears to connect with the northeast trending Monroe Uplift, the La Salle Arch and, possibly, to an active seismic zone located in and around Sabine Lake on the Texas-Louisiana border. If the New Madrid seismic zone is indeed part of a triple juncture, there should be an expression of this limb trending along a line in a northeast direction. . .”

Concerning the manifestation of the Sixth Seal we read “the earth is moved” (Isaiah 13:6-16; 24:1-23; 34:1-8; 61:2c; Jeremiah 49:21; Joel 2:10, 31; 3:15; Matthew 24:29-30; Hebrews 12:25-29; Revelation 6:12-17; 16:18-19, 18:21-23).

Revelation 16:17-21 and Zechariah 14:1-8 call for earthquakes to occur in the western and in the eastern hemispheres: “And the seventh angel [William Branham] poured out his Vial into the air” [at the second crucifixion of the Word by the church]. There will be a fresh cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary for our meeting with the Lord and the marriage supper of the Lamb; and once the Church is translated, Satan and his host will be cast down to earth.

The second ‘rapture’ under the New Testament will be the resurrection and glorification of the Church Age saints who have “fallen asleep” over the past two thousand years, then “we who are alive and remain” will recognize one of the resurrected, glorified saints. That experience will supercharge faith and with a short, quick pain we will be rid of our mortal spirit, and corruptible flesh will put on the incorruption of a glorified body.”

In Matthew 16:24 – 17:1-13, “Jesus told His disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it: and whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it. For what will a man be profited, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul? or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and will then recompense every man according to his works. Truly I say to you, there are some standing here, who shall not taste death until they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom.” This came to pass after six days (typing Man’s day,” When Jesus took Peter, James and John apart, and brought them to the top of Mount Transfiguration where He was transfigured before them, and Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. Three is a witness, and the three disciples represented the 144,000 elect Israelites who will witness Christ’s second or (Gk.) ‘parousia’ Coming to Israel in Daniel’s Seventieth Week. Those two Hebrew prophets of Matthew 17:1-3 are the two “angels” of Matthew 24:31 endued with the Spirit and power that rested upon Moses and Elijah. They will reveal the Seven Trumpet mysteries that call and rejuvenate the Israel nation, all 144,000 (Zechariah 4:12-14; Revelation 11:3-12). They also represent the sleeping Church Age saints who will resurrect, and “we who are alive and will remain” for the body change and translation.

This is taking place because sin has reached its climax “as it was in the days of Noah”; once again the besetting sin is miscegenation in the spirit and in the flesh (Genesis 6:1-4; Matthew 24:37), so when we testify we are confronted by “scoffers, walking after their own lusts. And saying, Where is the promise of His (Gk.) ‘parousia’ Coming? for since the fathers fell asleep all things continue as they were” (II Peter 2:10; 3:3-4). And “as it was in the days of Lot” when the besetting sin was homosexuality in spite of the ministry of three witnesses, one of whom was God veiled behind the flesh of a created Man “discerning the thought and intents of the heart” (Genesis 18; Luke 17:28-30; Hebrews 4:12). These scriptures have been and are being fulfilled in our day, and the eyes of the world are shut, but as it was in the days of Lot God will gather the foolish virgin out of the Great Whore and her harlot daughter churches before the nuclear fire falls.

Israel's flag of shameThe third ‘rapture’ under the New Testament will be two Hebrew witnesses who will prophesy to the Israelites. Revelation 11:7-12, “When they have finished their testimony the [Judaeo-Roman] beast that ascends from the bottomless pit (Revelation 13:1-12) will make war against them, and overcome and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city [Jerusalem (Revelation 16:19)], which spiritually is called Sodom [as it is the homosexual capital of the Middle East (Isaiah 1:9-10; Ezekiel 16:46, 49:3:9)]; and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. And those of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not permit their dead bodies to be lain in a tomb. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.”

“And after three and a half days the Spirit of Life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them”.

Brother Branham explained, “The veil is the flesh . . . what keeps us from seeing God, face to face, in this church. The veil is what keeps us from seeing the angels at their positions this morning, standing by the seats. The veil is what keeps us from seeing Him. We are hid behind the veil, and that veil is the flesh. We are sons and daughters of God, we’re in the Presence of God, “The angels of God [our theophanies] are encamped about those who fear Him.” We’re in the Presence of God, all the time. “I’ll never leave thee, neither will I ever forsake thee. I’ll be with thee always, even unto the end.” But the veil is the flesh, that’s what keeps us out of His Presence. But through the soul, the Spirit, by our faith we know that He’s watching us. He is standing by us. He’s here now” (Hebrews 263, 590).

The resurrected Old Testament saints “went into Old Jerusalem, and appeared to many.” Luke 24:12-44 (John 20:1-9) cites three examples. When Peter entered the sepulchre he observed the linen clothes by themselves where He had laid, “and the napkin, that was about His head, wrapped together in a place by itself.” Brother Branham explained, “Matter is spirit slowed down,” and God’s Presence is in a dimension faster than cosmic light, matter and time! So is matter light ‘solidified’? When a high-powered bullet strikes the target you can see the damage but the bullet has returned to the dust or gasses from which it was formed; over millennia its constituents would return to copper or other elemental form. From the sixth dimension Jesus passed through the linen without disturbing it. Later that day He fellowshipped unbeknownst with Cleopas and an unnamed disciple on the road to Emmaus; when their eyes were opened at table “they knew Him, and He vanished out of their sight.” Speed! They returned to Jerusalem that night and found the eleven with their companions. Travelling like a thought, Jesus materialised through a wall and ate broiled fish and honeycomb.

The resurrected New Testament saints will appear to citizens of New Jerusalem “who are alive and remain” (Matthew 27:53); this is how we will know the time is at hand. The surge of faith on recognizing a Brother or Sister will change us in the twinkling of an eye, the speed of thought. After death the body returns to the ashes and dust whence it came, and may be transformed into other forms such as energy or light or fruit cake, and in the microcosm particles of matter are transformed into radiation, but matter is indestructible and cannot be ‘uncreated.’ In the resurrection the sleeping saints will return in their theophany which will put on those elements as glorified flesh, and the mortal spirit of Christ’s end-time Bride will be dropped and our theophany will transform and glorify the elements of our flesh after its likeness as man or woman in the prime of life.

Brother Branham said, “Based on these seven visions, along with the rapid changes which have swept the world in the last fifty years, I PREDICT (I do not prophesy) that these visions will have all come to pass by 1977. And though many may feel that this is an irresponsible statement in view of the fact that Jesus said that ‘no man knoweth the day nor the hour.’ I still maintain this prediction after thirty years because, Jesus did NOT say no man could know the year, month or week in which His coming was to be completed. So I repeat, I sincerely believe and maintain as a private student of the Word, along with Divine inspiration that 1977 ought to terminate the world systems and usher in the millennium” (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 322:3).

He also said, “Don’t miss this. From the time God made the promise to Abraham, Genesis 12:3, to the time of Christ being rejected in AD33 by the Jews; according to Galatians 3:6 and 17, and according to Ussher’s Chronology of the Hebrews; the power of God was with the Jews exactly nineteen hundred and fifty-four years. [1921BC + 33AD = 1954] . . . “Now, counting the time, we find that we have exactly (Listen.) seventeen years left, and we will have the same span of time given to us as God dealing with us in the power of the Holy Spirit since AD33 until 1977, the same span of time of 1954 years. God deals with us the same as He did with the Jews. See? How about that? Brother Branham was speaking in 1960. 1960 + 17 = 1977, Israel’s seventieth jubilee; 1977 + 49 = 2026 + 1 = 2027, Israel’s seventy-first jubilee (Daniel, p. 115:195-201).

Ours is a Pentecostal jubilee seven years before Israel’s Atonement Day jubilee. 2019 + 1 = 2020. (See Newsletter 1053). Thus “Oh, brother, give me a church full of the Holy Ghost. God will do in ONE YEAR what all theology’s failed to do in two thousand years. You wait till the anointing of the church really strikes home to that faithful the little remnant. After the doors of the Gentiles is closed, oh, God will anoint a Church then. “He who’s filthy, let him be filthy still. He who’s righteous let him be righteous still, and he who’s holy let him be holy still.” And God will anoint the Church with the power of God, and things will be taken place. Not only that then, but He’s doing it now” (COD, p. 145:203).

Now, mark down in your book a little Scripture here I want to give you. Leviticus 25, begin with the 8th verse. God calls a jubilee every forty-ninth year; the fiftieth year was the jubilee. We know that. We understand that. From the first jubilee of Leviticus 25:8, in 1977 will be the seventieth jubilee, making exactly 3,430 years (i.e. Matthew 18:21 = Revelation 4:1-2). Jubilee means the going up, the release.

And for a third witness, “Now, then after that, I turned and looked, and I saw this United States burning like a smoulder; rocks had been blowed up. And it was burning like a heap of fire in logs or something that just set it afire; and looked as far as I could see and she’d been blown up. And then the vision left me. Five out of . . . of the seven, rather, has happened”.

“And here comes around and shows, and then I predicted . . . I never said the Lord told me that, but standing that morning in the church, I said, “The way progress . . .” I got back to one end of the wall and run to the other end of the wall, and I said, “The way progress is going on, I’ll predict that the time (I don’t know why I’m saying it.)—but I predict that that’ll all happen between right now, 1933, and 1977. And not knowing it, God knows my heart, I never knowed it until yesterday, that 1977 is the jubilee, and exactly the same amount of time run out that He give with Israel and everything at the end. So we’re at . . . And here we are at the end of the age, at the coming in of the seventieth week. We don’t know what time that the church will be gone. Oh, my. What can we do, friends? Where are we at?” (The Seventieth Week of Daniel, p. 115:196-197, 212-213).

II Thessalonians 2:1-13, “Now we beg of you, brethren, by the second or (Gk.) ‘parousia’ Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our assembling to meet Him, not to be troubled beyond a reasonable, sober, and considerate state of mind, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ has already come. Let no one deceive you in any way: for the apostasy must come first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself over every so-called God or object of worship, so that he as God takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Don’t you remember that when I was still with you I told you this? So you know now what impedes his being revealed at this time. For the mystery of iniquity is already at work; only the Holy Spirit who now restrains 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 will slay with the breath of His mouth, and destroy Him by the (Gk.) ‘epiphaneia of His parousia’ or visible manner of His Coming [“in Clouds of glory as He was seen on Mount Transfiguration, His garments shining as the power of God enfolds Him. And EVERY eye shall see Him, and also those who pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him” which will be the regeneration of 144,000 elect Israelites in the second half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week (Zechariah 12:8 – 13:9; Matthew 16:27-28; Revelation 1:7; 19:11-21; An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 36:2-5)].

“The (Gk.) ‘parousia’ coming of the [incarnate son of perdition] will be with great power and signs and miracles, all of them false. And with limitless deceit of wickedness for those who, being ordained to condemnation, received not the love of the Truth whereby they might retain their name in the Book of Life and be saved. For this reason God visits them with a strong delusion, that they might believe the lie Satan caused Eve to believe. That God loves them so dearly—Baptists, Buddhists, Catholics, Muslims and Jews—that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness”.

“But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you for salvation by the Spirit’s sanctifying work and by faith in the Truth”. nl1059

The Seventh Seal

February 15, 2019

Bible Believers’ Newsletter 1058

“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; God bless you, saints.

Android PhonePlease carefully read the news items presented in this week’s Newsletter. If you have been following and proving the Newsletters and what we have been ministered in service over the past several months you will recognize prophecy unfolding from the written and spoken Word toward physical manifestation. This is encouraging, praise the Lord! Our main article is an important conversation on the Seventh Seal I believe you will find helpful as it reinforces “the present Truth” confided in recent Newsletters, and shows how the Seven Seals, Seven Thunders, Seven Trumpets and Seven Vials all meet with the earthquake that will sink Los Angeles, making the invasion of the United States inevitable, and with the parallel earthquake that will cleave the Mount of Olives, demolish the Dome of the Rock and ignite the ‘hot stage’ of the present World War III causing the invasion and utter defeat of the modern Israel state and the mass exodus of non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews foretold by Israel’s prophets.

Last week our Brother in the DR baptized three members of his family. More good news.

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.

Ukraine: NATO in the Constitution

Khazar warriors

February 13, 2019 — The day after the signature of NATO’s membership protocol with North Macedonia as its 30th member, Ukraine . . . included in its Constitution the engagement to enter officially into NATO and the European Union at the same time . . . The inclusion in the Ukrainian Constitution of the engagement to enter officially into NATO bears with it some very serious consequences . . . outlaws de facto any party or person who might oppose the “strategic decisions of the state” . . . should Ukraine officially join NATO, the 30 other members of the Alliance, on the basis of article 5 . . . would have to go to war with Russia.

These dangerous implications of the modification of the Ukrainian Constitution—behind which are most certainly strategies by the USA and NATO—have been met with political and media silence . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Comment: Hidden is the fact that for over a thousand years the Ukraine was “Khazaria” the homeland of ‘Jews‘ from Lower Mongolia.


US Navy challenges China in the South China Sea

February 12 — In its second provocative Freedom of Navigation operation in the South China Sea this year, the US Navy sent two guided missile destroyers yesterday . . . within the 12 nautical mile territorial limit claimed by China . . . ahead of a March 1 deadline by US President Trump for a deal to avert even more aggressive US trade war measures against China . . . intervention . . . designed to send a menacing message to Beijing that the US intends to step up its confrontation on all fronts unless China bows to its demands . . .

China’s expansion of facilities in the South China Sea is in response to Washington’s increasingly aggressive challenges to China’s territorial claims and to the US military build-up in Asia, firstly under President Obama and now Trump. The South China Sea is adjacent to major Chinese military bases, including its nuclear submarine pens on Hainan Island . . . Full story: wsws.org

President PutinComment: On March 1, 2018 the world learned of Russia’s new weapons systems, said to be based on new physical principles. Addressing the Federal Assembly, Putin explained how they came to be: in 2002 the US withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. At the time, the Russians declared that they will be forced to respond, and were basically told “Do whatever you want.”

And so they did, developing new weapons that no anti-ballistic missile system can ever hope to stop . . . Without the shackles of the INF treaty, Russia will be able to fully neutralize the already obsolete and useless NATO and to absorb all of Europe into its security sphere. European politicians . . . will soon learn to appreciate the fact that good relations with Russia and China are an asset while any dependence on the US, moving forward, is a huge liability . . . It won’t be a difficult decision for Europe’s leaders to make.

On one pan of the scale there is the prospect of a peaceful and prosperous Greater Eurasia, from Lisbon to Vladivostok and from Murmansk to Mumbai, safe under Russia’s nuclear umbrella and tied together with China’s One Belt One Road. On the other pan of the scale there is a certain obscure former colony lost in the wilds of North America, imbued with an unshakeable faith in its own exceptionalism even as it grows ever weaker, more internally conflicted and more chaotic, but still dangerous, though mostly to itself, and run by a bloviating buffoon who can’t tell the difference between a nuclear arms treaty and a real estate deal (RIP INF Treaty: Russia’s Victory, America’s Waterloo).


A Maidan Style Regime Change Operation might break out in Moldova?

February 13, 2019 — Moldova might well be on the edge of experiencing its own Maidan by the end of the month, judging by an uncharacteristically detailed warning that was just issued by the Russian Foreign Ministry ahead of the country’s upcoming parliamentary elections on 24 February.

“Interference in the internal affairs of other countries has long become a familiar feature of Washington’s foreign policy. This is seen particularly well in Venezuela, where the United States in fact is trying to stage a government coup. Its occupation of part of Syrian territory after unsuccessful attempts to topple a legitimate government in Damascus belongs here, too. Apparently, a similar scenario is being prepared for Moldova. As soon as he took office last autumn, (US Ambassador to Moldova Derek) Hogan became deeply involved in Moldova’s internal processes.

He’s been making public statements to support some politicians against others and issuing recommendations as to how to hold parliamentary elections. If the winner (of the upcoming elections) is disliked by Washington, the Moldovans will be threatened with the disruption of ties with the West and even a rerun of Ukraine’s Maidan scenario. It is very distressing to see Moldova become another test site for such irresponsible experiments, which have already ruined Iraq and Libya and plunged Syria and Ukraine into the turmoil of bloody conflicts”. . .

Starving Venezuela into Submission

February 13, 2019 — You are so kind-hearted! I shed a tear thinking of American generosity. “So many delightful goodies: sacks of rice, canned tuna and protein-rich biscuits, corn flour, lentils and pasta, arrived at the border of troubled Venezuela—enough for one light meal each for five thousand people”—reported the news in a sublime reference to five thousand fed by Christ’s fishes and loaves.

True, Christ did not take over the bank accounts and did not seize the gold of those he fed. But 21st century Venezuela is a good deal more-prosperous than 1st century Galilee. Nowadays, you have to organise a blockade if you want people to be grateful for your humanitarian aid.

This is not a problem. The US-UK duo did it in Iraq, as marvellous Arundhati Roy wrote in April 2003 (in The Guardian of old, before it turned into an imperial tool). After Iraq was brought to its knees, its people starved, half a million of its children killed, its infrastructure severely damaged . . . the blockade and war were followed by . . . you guessed it! Humanitarian relief. At first, they blocked food supplies worth billions of dollars, and then they delivered 450 tonnes of humanitarian aid and celebrated their generosity for a few days of live TV broadcasts. Iraq had had enough money to buy all the food it needed, but it was blocked, and its people received only some peanuts.

And this was rather humane by American standards . . . First, you starve people; then you bring them humanitarian aid. This was proposed by John McNaughton at Pentagon: bomb lochs and dams, by shallow-flooding the rice, cause widespread starvation (more than a million dead?) “And then we shall deliver humanitarian aid to the starving Vietnamese”. Or, rather, “we could offer to do [that] at the conference table.” Planning a million dead by starvation, in writing . . . But the story of the genocide of the Vietnamese is rarely mentioned nowadays. They did it in Syria, too. At first, they brought weapons for every Muslim extremist, then they blockaded Damascus, and then they sent some humanitarian aid, but only to the areas under rebel control . . .

CIA logoComment: Two executives at the company that chartered the US plane that was caught smuggling weapons into Venezuela last week have been tied to an air cargo company that aided the CIA in the rendition of alleged terrorists . . . Venezuelan authorities announced that 19 rifles, 118 ammo magazines, 90 radios and six iPhones had been smuggled into the country . . . blamed the US government for the illicit cargo, accusing it of seeking to arm US—funded opposition groups . . . McClatchyDC received very little media attention despite . . . showing that the plane responsible for the shipment had been making an unusually high number of trips to Venezuela and neighbouring Colombia over the past few weeks (mintpressnews.com).


Democratic Lawmakers say US Military Action in Venezuela ‘Not an Option’

February 14, 2019 — WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday said Congress would oppose US military intervention in Venezuela and challenged the credibility of President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Elliott Abrams, over his past embrace of American covert action . . . Under US law, Congress—not the president—must approve foreign military action. At the hearing, Democrats on the committee pressed Abrams on his views on military intervention, but questions about his credibility provoked the most heated exchanges . . . Representative Ilhan Omar [asked] Abrams, “Would you support an armed faction within Venezuela that engages in war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide if you believe they serve the US interests as you did in Guatemala, El Salvador or Nicaragua?” Full story: reuters.com


The Myth of the US ‘Knocking the Hell out of ISIS’ in Syria

William Branham

February 9, 2019 — ISIS is a US creation. So are al-Qaeda, its al-Nusra offshoot, and other terrorist groups—used by the Pentagon and CIA as proxy troops . . .

Days after his December pullout announcement, [Trump] claimed “ISIS is largely defeated.” In January, he said we are “continuing to fight ISIS.” After promising to “rapidly withdraw from Syria” in December, he U-turned saying a pullout “could leave American forces there for months or even years.”

The US media do not wish to acknowledge . . .

 

  • The US and its imperial partners support the scourge of ISIS and likeminded terrorist groups they pretend to oppose.
  • Syria and Hezbollah forces, greatly aided by Russian airpower alone, are “knocking the hell out of ISIS,” its ranks greatly diminished but not defeated.
  • Turkey’s Erdogan pretends to oppose the scourge he actively supports, giving ISIS and other terrorists safe haven in the country’s territory,
    letting them move freely back and forth cross border.

 

On Wednesday, sources quoted by Sputnik News’ Arabic-language website said around 1,500 terrorists entered Syria’s Idlib province from Turkey in the last 48 hours—a flagrant Sochi Agreement violation . . . It’s just a matter of time before the next staged CW false flag, a pretext for Pentagon-led warplanes to attack Syrian military sites, perhaps Damascus on the US target list as well. Full story: globalresearch.ca

Comment: Looking at the Islamic State’s astounding gains in Syria and Iraq in 2013-14, the question arises where did its recruits get all the training and state-of-the-art weapons that were imperative not only for hit-and-run guerrilla warfare but also for capturing and holding large swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq . . .

Moreover, it is clearly spelled out in the report that Syrian militants got arms and training through a secret command center known as the Military Operations Center (MOC) based in the intelligence headquarters’ building in Amman, Jordan that was staffed by high-ranking military officials from 14 countries, including the US, European nations, Israel and the Gulf states to wage a covert war against Damascus (globalresearch.ca).


Malaysia & Ireland find You stand up for Palestinian Rights at Your Peril

Occult Zionist flag

January 31, 2019 — In a move consistent with the Palestinian call for boycott, divestment and sanctions, BDS, against Israel, the Malaysian government has refused entry visas to athletes representing Israel in the 2019 World Para Swimming Championships . . . “If hosting an international sporting event is more important than safeguarding the interests of our Palestinian brothers and sisters, than we have lost our moral compass.”

Ireland too has shown that it is serious about supporting the rights of the Palestinian people . . . the Irish Lower House of parliament passed . . . the Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill, which penalizes anyone importing or selling goods or services originating in the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem or West Bank settlements . . . As this drama unfolded in Kuala Lumpur and Dublin, in Washington . . . the first bill proposed in 2019, includes a clause which would penalize companies who boycott Israel . . . S-1 passed with 74 senators voting in favour. A large majority of spineless politicians who care little for the rights or the lives of Palestinians and have lost what moral compass they may have had in the past.

There is a call to boycott the 2019 Eurovision song contest . . . to be held in Tel Aviv, and the Israeli Foreign Ministry is already hard at work trying to convince Europeans to ignore this call. Full story: mintpressnews.com

In Luke 1:8-11 Zacharias ministered, “the people praying without at the time of incense.” The incense of the golden altar within the Sanctuary was lit from fire taken from the atoning altar of burnt offering outside. Truth symbolised by incense is the merit of Christ’s atoning sacrifice offered once for all “without the gate.” Incense is symbolic of prayer, prayer accepted by God because of atonement is an appeal through faith. Psalm 141:2, “Let my prayer be set forth before You as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.” Truth accompanied by faith is the foundation of our prayers for the prayer of faith is revelation: Jesus said “If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you” (John 15:7).

Revelation 1:1-3, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him [after His ascension (Matthew 24:36)] to show to His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel [William Branham, Revelation 10:7] to His servant John, who bore record of the Word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw [but not all that he heard]” (Revelation 10:4).

John represents Christ’s end-time Bride throughout the Book of Revelation. We know this is so because the Seven Seals were not loosed until after Christ’s mediation for the ignorance of the Church Age saints on the fullness of the Word. Once they were all born-again redemption was over and the Mercy Seat became a Judgment Seat (I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 4; 5; 10:1-7).

In Revelation 3:15-22 Jesus foretold the apostasy of the world church system in Laodicea (1906 – 1963). As prophesied, the love of those who claim to be His espoused Bride is lukewarm: they are not in the Word. “Materially they are rich and have need of nothing, but spiritually they are wretched, and to be pitied—bankrupt of faith, blind to God’s unchanging Word, naked of the Blood—and know it not“.

Pillar of Cloud 28/02/63Revelation 4:1-2, “After all seven Church Ages of PART-Word were over I looked, and behold, a door stood open in heaven (John 10:9; Revelation 3:8): and the first voice which I heard in (Revelation 1:10) as clear as if it were of a trumpet talking with me, said “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after the Church Ages.” And immediately I was in the Spirit: and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and One sat on the throne” (Isaiah 6:1; Ezekiel 1:26-28; Daniel 7:9; Revelation 4:9). As Brother Branham was caught up from Sunset Mountain into the Pillar of Cloud on March 8, 1963 after the close of the Laodicean Church Age, Christ’s end-time Bride was caught up in the rapture, represented in these verses by John. We are all one Body, and as Attributes of God foreknown before the foundation of the world we were represented in this “great Cloud of witnesses” (pictured right) that manifest publicly over Arizona on February 28, 1963 (Psalm 19:1; Hebrews 12:1, 22-23; Daniel 7:9; Revelation 1:14). Indeed every member of Christ’s Bride of all Ages was present in theophany when, as “the Lion of the Tribe of Judah” the Lamb took the Book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the Throne (Revelation 5:8-14). Now because Christ’s end-time Bride was fully redeemed in Him on Calvary we do not require mediation for ignorance of the fullness of the Word since we receive the fullness through the revelation of the Seven Seals, and the 144,000 elect Israelites will receive the fullness through the revelation of their Seven Trumpet mysteries. So despite the fact redemption was already OVER, and many of us were not even conceived when the Lamb claimed the Book and loosed its Seals, we were foreknown in Christ’s end-time Bride when God saw the Lamb slain before there was a world (Revelation 13:8).

With no Blood on the Altar the Mercy Seat is now a Judgment Seat but we are the Blood of Christ by the baptism with the Holy Ghost, for “the Life is in the Blood.” Our presence makes earth a Mercy Seat so the wrath of God cannot strike the earth we are translated to the Wedding Supper in the air (II Thessalonians 2:6-7). The Door of exceeding Grace is still open to those who “prove all things to make their calling and election sure”.

William Branham returned to his Church in Jeffersonville Indiana as commanded where he received The Revelation of the Seven Seals which he delivered to his Church from March 17-24, 1963. His Message is the “Shout” of I Thessalonians 4:16 which is the “Midnight cry” of Matthew 25:6 waking the sleeping virgins and calling the wise and foolish OUT from the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church and her (once) Protestant harlot daughter churches to meet the Bridegroom and come 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 15:50-52). His Message was confirmed by the heavenly Voice of Revelation 18:4, “Come out of her, My people, that you do not partake of her sins and receive not of her plagues”.

Pillar of FireRevelation 5:8-9, “And when He had taken the Book, the four living creatures and twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having harps, and golden vials full of incense [therefore the Vials were broad shallow bowls or censors]. As the sweet smell of the odours is pleasing to God it fitly represents the prayers [or faith of Christ in them]. And they sing a new song—one which neither they nor any others had sung before”.

Revelation 8:1-2 “And when He had opened the Seventh Seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” This period commenced on March 8, 1963; in 2019 it will equal Brother Branham’s fifty-six years as he prophesied, “I’ll ride this trail once more” (#65-0815, And Knoweth it Not, p. 32:259, 261)! The first Six Seals were signified by Old Testament symbols. The Seventh Seal reveals the mysteries of the voices of the Seven Thunders John was forbidden to write, the Spoken Word of the Seventh Angel’s Message unfolds the revelations veiled in the written Six Seals showing whom God has redeemed and how they were redeemed in each Age. The Seven Trumpet angels that stand before God are not men but heavenly beings.

When the priest entered the Sanctuary with the incense, the people were all put out of the temple and from between the porch and the brazen altar. As we read in Luke 1:10, “the people praying [silently] without at the time of incense.” This accords with Revelation 8:1, 3 and Revelation 15:8, “And the temple (Gk.) ‘naos’ was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power; and no man was able to enter into the Sanctuary, until the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled”.

The Prophet explained, “And Jesus comes from Heaven with ten thousands times ten thousands of His Saints, and the Bible says that “the Heavens was empty for the space of a half hour.” Where is this big fellow, God, then? Uh-huh. See? He’s in Christ” (#60-1209 The Sardisean Church Age, p. 348:6; I Thessalonians 4:14; Jude 14-15). The priest avoided lengthening his stay within, lest those without should fear he had been struck dead for some defect in his offering (Leviticus 16:13). Hence the silence in heaven is only for a short space of time “and when Jesus had opened the Seventh Seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.”

Revelation 8:3-5 is a parenthesis. The Seals, Trumpets and Vials each trace the course of divine action up to the grand consummation in which they all meet, under a different aspect. “Voices and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake” close the Seven Thunders and the Seven Seals (Revelation 6:12-17; 8:5) along with the Christian dispensation. The revelation of the Seven Trumpet mysteries expounded by two prophets will call an election of 144,000 Israelites to recognize Christ’s atonement. The Seventh Trumpet will open at the end of the Gentile dispensation with “lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail” (Revelation 11:15-19). The manifestation of the Seventh Vial will be concurrent with that of the Sixth Seal, the Seventh Trumpet, and with the earthquake that sinks Los Angeles.

Revelation 16:17-21, “And the seventh angel poured out his Vial into the air [for a fresh cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary and the final plague upon the world church system]; and there came a great Voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done!” This will END “the silence in heaven,” terminate the Gentile dispensation and call the resurrection and translation of the saints (Revelation 15:8). It will be accompanied by “voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [It will sink a 1,500 x 300 – 400 mile segment of earth’s, crust taking Los Angeles and part of California beneath the Pacific (Revelation 18:21-23)]. And the great city [Jerusalem] was divided into three parts (Revelation 16:19; Zechariah 14:1-2); [at this time the US mainland will be invaded: as in Israel the houses will also be plundered, and the women raped (#58-0108, The Handwriting on the Wall, p. 11:84-90; Isaiah 6:9-19; 3:6-16; Daniel 1:38-39; Joel 2:1-2)] and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon [Vatican City State] came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath”  (Revelation 16:17-21; 17:16-18; 18:4-20).

“And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found (Jeremiah 4:24; Nahum 1:5; Revelation 6:14). And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a hundred pounds (Isaiah 54:10; Ezekiel 38:20-22; Revelation 11:19): and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was extremely severe”.

Revelation 8:3-5 “And another angel [the seventh angel, William Branham, the man who veiled Christ] came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and a vast quantity of incense was given to him [from March 17-24, 1963] to mingle with the prayers of all saints [for we are one Body]”.

The “vast quantity of incense” the Prophet is mingling with the prayers or revelations of all saints is the unwritten mystery uttered by the voices of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10 “which God gave Jesus, to show to His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel [William Branham] to His servant John [who represents Christ’s end-time Bride” (Revelation 1:1; 3:14; 10:7; 14:8; 22:6, 9-10). This is “the huge portion of Heaven . . . [prophesied by Danny Henry which] . . . in itself is what will give and make come to pass the tremendous victory in the love Divine” (Paradox, p. 41:300-311). The Absolute Truth of this incense of THUS SAITH THE LORD given to their prayers (or revelations) indicates Divine acceptance of all saints “in the unity of the faith [of Jesus Christ]” (Ephesians 3:14).

Revelation 8:4-5, “And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.” Incense is symbolic of truthful prayer in an appeal through revelation. Here it is burned, not as in the morning, before, but in the evening time (Psalm 141:2; Zechariah 14:7; Matthew 24:27) after the sacrifice of praise,” after the last member of Christ’s Bride is redeemed (Matthew 4:4; John 6:51): His end-time Bride was fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary.

“And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it unto the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake”.

The censer, having offered incense to heaven, is now used to hurl fire upon the earth (as in the parallel vision of Ezekiel 10:2-7 when the Man clothed with linen is bidden to “go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill his hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the doomed city.” So here the ashes fall as tokens of the coming judgments. Under the Sixth Trumpet the Israelites and their imposters were unrepentant (Revelation 9:18-21). Under the Sixth Seal at the close of the Trumpets (Revelation 11:19) and the Vials (Revelation 16:18), physical disturbances will accompany the manifestation of God’s wrath and judgment in answer to the prayers of the Fifth Seal Israelites (Revelation 6:10).

Brother Branham said, “Now, notice, when the seven angels come forth to sound their trumpets, there was one thunder [Revelation 8:5]. When Israel was gathered, there was a trumpet [Matthew 24:31; I Corinthians 15:52; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 11:15]. When time shall be no more, the last trumpet [Matthew 24:31; I Corinthians 15:52; I Thessalonians 4:16c; Revelation 11:15] . . . One thunder [Revelation 8:5], but here is seven straight thunders right in a row: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, that perfect number [Matthew 25:6; I Thessalonians 4:16b; Revelation 8:1; 10:3-4; 7]. Seven thunders in a row, uttered not . . . making just—just one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, straight. Then heavens couldn’t write that. Heavens can’t know about it, nothing else, because there’s nothing to go on. It’s a relaxing time. [The revelation of the Seventh Seal takes us into the holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel’s Pentecostal Feast. Leviticus 23:16-21]. It was so great till it’s kept secret from the angels.”

“Now, why? If Satan should get a hold of it, he might do great damage. There’s one thing he don’t know. Now, he can interpret anything he wants to, and impersonate any kind of a gift (I hope you’re learning), but he can’t know this. It’s not even written in the Word [i.e. Revelation 8:1, the Seventh Seal]. It’s a total secret.”

“The angels, everything shut up. If they made one move it might give something away, so they just shut up, quit harping; everything stopped.”

“Seven, God’s perfect number, Seven [Brother Branham knocks seven times on pulpit—Ed.] just right down the row. Seven thunders uttered straight together like they’re spelling out something. Notice, at that time, John started to write, and He said, “Don’t write it” [Revelation 10:4].

“Jesus never spoke of it. John couldn’t write it. Angels know nothing about it. What is it? It’s the thing that Jesus said even the angels of heaven didn’t know nothing about it. See, see? He didn’t know it Himself, said only God would know it, but He told us when we begin to see these signs coming up . . . [Matthew 24:35-36; Mark 13:29-32; Luke 21:28; Acts 1:6-7] (Now, you getting somewhere? All right.) Notice, we can see these signs coming up. See?” (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 558:1-3; p. 249:251-257).

The Seventh Seal will take us to the Wedding Supper, to the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel, to the second resurrection and White Throne Judgment, and to Eternity in the renewed heavens and renewed earth where “there should be (Gk.) ‘Chronos’ time no longer”. nl1058

Outline: the Revelation of the Seven Seals

February 8, 2019

 

Bible Believers’ Newsletter 1057

“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.

Android PhoneWe have two main articles, “Sanctions of Mass Destruction: America’s War on Venezuela;” Ancient African historian Garikai Chengu confirms the prophecy of Revelation 13:11-18 showing the United States is the ‘rogue state’ Jesus Christ called “the image unto the beast [of Papal Rome].” Like the United States today, Imperial Rome was a declining economic and military behemoth smitten to death when Emperor Constantine healed its deadly wound by uniting church and state at the Hegelian dialectic of the First Nicaea Council of AD325. “Outline: the Revelation of the Seven Seals” shows Christ’s end-time Bride her place in His Word and explains how the Body of Christ has been built by faith in “the present Truth” through nine different baptisms of the Holy Spirit.

Modern events are made clear by prophecy since faith reads between the lines of propaganda advanced as impartial, truthful news by Jewry’s worldwide media monopoly to recognize our day and its Message. After Los Angeles sinks, the bankrupt United States will unite with the world church system under Papal Rome in covenant with Jewry and the Black Nobility as foretold in Daniel 9:27, Revelation 13:4-9 and 17:11-18. Rome’s then Devil-incarnate Pope will refinance the US dollar with gold backing to revive the fractional reserve banking racket, preserve Jewry’s paper wealth and foil Russia—victorious following her invasion of mainland USA—from gaining world presidency and maintain her adversarial policy of “divide and conquer”.

The American buffalo rose up in the relatively unpopulated North American continent; whereas the Lamb of God has seven horns (Revelation 5:6), it had two horns like a lamb signifying the separation of church and state, veiling its objectives with great subtlety, intelligence and culture. Thomas Jefferson wrote, paraphrasing the writing of his close friend Philip Mazzei, an Italian-born patriot and pamphleteer, “We hold these truths to be self-evident . . . that all men are created equal . . . that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness . . .” But Jefferson owned hundreds of slaves and upon his death the only slaves given their freedom in the former president’s will were two of the sons of Sally Hemmings, Jefferson’s black slave mistress.

Yes there is more refinement, more civilisation, more thought, freedom from slavery, freedom of religion and expression, democracy and human rights, but America is the world-power that is worshipped for the self-seeking “pursuit of happiness”—worldly honours, pleasures, occupations, influences and powers. So the power of the second beast lies in deception as well as violence and intent in magnifying its mistress, the Judaeo-Roman Catholic Church. It soon spoke like the dragon and exercises all the power of Papal Rome. After the first half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week it will force the earth and all who dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed at Nicaea.

Revelation 13:13-14, “And it performs great signs, so that [at Hiroshima and Nagasaki] it made nuclear fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And deceives those who dwell on the earth by the means of those nuclear miracles which it had power to do by the authority of the first beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make a [Protestant] image to the beast that had the wound by a sword, and did live”.

As the beast of Papal Rome martyred sixty-eight million Christians for refusing her trinitarian dogma, her US image will force trinitarianism on pain of death after the midst of Daniel’s Seventieth Week (Daniel 7:25; Revelation 13:7, 15-18).

Australia, the antipodean lap dog has added its support for the attempted coup against Venezuela by the US “image unto the beast” as it had joined the “coalition of the willing” killers to hunt down the sons and daughters of Jacob as by subterfuge Herod the Great sought to destroy his rival, the infant Jesus, the legitimate Heir to David’s throne. “For fear of the [non-Semitic, anti-Semitic Edomite and Khazar self-styled] Jews,” genuine blood Israelites live in exile in North Africa and the Middle East pending the utter defeat of the modern Israel state and the mass exodus of Israeli imposters prophesied by Isaiah 6:9-12; 13:6-16; Joel 2:2; Zechariah 14:1-2; Revelation 16:19 and UN Resolution 181.

A World without Dollars? Are we approaching the End of America’s Financial Order?

February 1, 2019 — For Washington, the US dollar is leverage, a financial weapon to dominate the world economy, to impose its foreign policy agendas and to secure a steady flow of natural resources over sovereign countries who use the currency.

US DollarIn the last decade or so, the reputation of the US dollar has been widely discredited because it is viewed by many governments around the world as a risky asset since the US economy holds more than $21 trillion in debt and if you add the unfunded liabilities in the form of promises to ensure payments to retirees associated with government pensions, entitlement programs and social security it amounts to more than $200 trillion. The dollar is a fiat currency based on “faith” . . . but countries . . . threatened by Washington with economic sanctions have lost faith . . . The dollar is a debt instrument issued to the public with no real objective measure of the dollar’s true value. Since the Federal Reserve Bank was founded in 1913, the dollar has lost over 97% of its value . . .

The US will never be able to finance their debt even if they bring back their manufacturing base, reduce government spending and end all of their wars including those in Iraq and Afghanistan . . . The US and their allies including Saudi Arabia, Israel, NATO, Colombia . . . are preparing for a major war with Russia, China, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba to basically regain control over the world by restoring the US dollar to the global dominance it once had . . .

Iraq’s Saddam Hussein decided to sell oil in Euros bypassing the dollar and Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi planned on Africa using a gold-backed currency in dinars instead of the dollar . . . Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi were eventually captured by US and NATO-backed forces and terrorist groups and executed . . .

Russia’s SPFS (System for Transfer of Financial Messages). . . is now more popular . . . than . . . SWIFT . . . World War III will be based on maintaining the power of the US dollar. The interests of major corporations, the establishment from [the sovereign City State of] Washington and [the sovereign City State of] London, the banks and an interesting tribe whose seeds were planted [in Eve by Lucifer incarnate in the Serpent and sown – Ed.] in the Middle East back in 1948 are based on the dollar’s strength.

The dollar is the backbone, the tool that allows Washington to continue its geopolitical dominance backed with its military power over the world’s economy and its natural resources. The dollar allows Washington to intimidate sovereign countries with economic sanctions as a way to influence or directly control their politics and economy in Washington’s favour, nothing more and certainly, nothing less, and that’s a major reason the acceleration of dumping the US dollar around the world will lead us into a major world war that may start with a country that has plenty of oil which two come to mind, and that is Venezuela and Iran.

Comment: Today, the US Treasury is applying political sanctions against Belarus, Burundi, North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Libya, Nicaragua, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Russia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Zimbabwe, to which we must add the Donetsk People’s Republic Ukraine), Hezbollah (Iran), the Houthis (Yemen), and many others (voltairenet.org).


Real Threat to World Peace: Nuclear Israel with 400 WMD or Non-Nuclear Iran?

NSA logo

January 31, 2019 — US intelligence officials confirmed to the Senate Intelligence Committee, on Tuesday, that Iran was not developing nuclear weapons in violation of the 2015 nuclear agreement, and furthermore had no strategic plans to do so. This report from the US intelligence community indicates that Israel’s Netanyahu and his American cohort, Donald Trump, have deliberately misinformed the world regarding Iranian nuclear capability. The state of Israel, which is estimated to have in excess of more than 400 undeclared nuclear warheads must be compared to Iran which is not a nuclear weapon state. Who, therefore, is the threat to world peace?

Under the influence of the Israeli Prime Minister and ignoring the emphatic advice from the UN Security Council and the European Union, US President Trump last year pulled out of an international nuclear deal with Iran, put in place under his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama. Trump then re-imposed sanctions on Tehran causing massive economic and political destabilisation throughout the Middle East in addition to dismay from European and other signatories to the nuclear deal. It is crystal clear where the truth lies, and it is certainly not in Tel Aviv nor in the Trump White House. Now is surely the time for Europe to strengthen cooperation with the geographically important state of Iran, both economically and politically, whilst cutting ties and trade with Israel. It is vital that the West recognises who are its future friends and strategic partners. Full story: globalresearch.ca

A Note on the Crime against Venezuela

January 29, 2019 — To clarify the importance of the January 23rd coup attempt in Venezuela we remember that ever since WWII the customary motivation for violations of the Convention on Genocide has been to gain a region’s natural resources. For example Iraq, Libya, Syria, Haiti, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Guatemala, and others . . .

If these people are eradicated, resource development proceeds without impediment or any benefit or payment to the rightful owners. Night’s Lantern places an implicit warning for peoples inhabiting or able to make legal claim to resource-rich territory. Venezuela possesses about a quarter of the earth’s oil resources. The corporate battle for profits is understood to be criminal. The US has made a point of withdrawing from the International Criminal Court and attempting to destroy international law. Since there is strong evidence Venezuela is threatened with a takeover by corporate interests, represented by US policy, the people of Venezuela are now under a genocide warning.

Guide to the NY Times’ Support of US-backed Coups in Latin America

January 29, 2019 — On Friday, The New York Times continued its long, predictable tradition of backing US coups in Latin America . . . This will be the 10th such coup the paper has backed since the creation of the CIA over 70 years ago. A survey of The New York Times archives shows the Times editorial board has supported 10 out of 12 American-backed coups in Latin America, with two editorials—those involving the 1983 Grenada invasion and the 2009 Honduras coup—ranging from ambiguous to reluctant opposition. The survey can be viewed here . . . Full story: truthdig.com


US has killed more than 20 Million in 37 ‘Victim Nations’ since World War II

January 20, 2019 — Let us put this in historical perspective: the commemoration of the War the End All Wars acknowledges that 15 million lives were lost in the course of World War I (1914-18) . . . 60 million lives both military and civilian were lost during World War II. The largest WWII casualties were . . . 26 million in the Soviet Union, China estimates 20 million deaths . . . these two allies of the US which lost a large share of their population during WWII are now categorized as enemies of America, which are threatening the Western World. A so-called pre-emptive war against China and Russia is currently contemplated. James A. Lucas documents the more than 20 million lives lost resulting from US led wars, military coups and intelligence ops carried out in the wake of what is euphemistically called the “post-war era” (1945- ). The extensive loss of life in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Libya is not included in this study. Full story: globalresearch.ca

Sanctions of Mass Destruction: America’s War on Venezuela

By Garikai Chengu © 2019 all rights reserved

January 30, 2019 — American economic sanctions have been the worst crime against humanity since World War Two. America’s economic sanctions have killed more innocent people than all of the nuclear, biological and chemical weapons ever used in the history of mankind.

The fact that for America the issue in Venezuela is oil, not democracy, will surprise only those who watch the news and ignore history. Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves on the planet.

America seeks control of Venezuela because it sits atop the strategic intersection of the Caribbean, South and Central American worlds. Control of the nation, has always been a remarkably effective way to project power into these three regions and beyond.

From the first moment Hugo Chavez took office, the United States has been trying to overthrow Venezuela’s socialist movement by using sanctions, coup attempts, and funding the opposition parties. After all, there is nothing more undemocratic than a coup d’état.

United Nations Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur, Alfred de Zayas, recommended, just a few days ago, that the International Criminal Court investigate economic sanctions against Venezuela as a possible crime against humanity perpetrated by America.

Over the past five years, American sanctions have cut Venezuela off from most financial markets, which have caused local oil production to plummet. Consequently, Venezuela has experienced the largest decline in living standards of any country in recorded Latin American history.

Prior to American sanctions, socialism in Venezuela had reduced inequality and poverty whilst pensions expanded. During the same time period in America, it has been the absolute reverse. President Chavez funnelled Venezuela’s oil revenues into social spending such as free+6 healthcare, education, subsidized food networks, and housing construction.

In order to fully understand why America is waging economic war on the people of Venezuela one must analyse the historical relationship between the petrodollar system and Sanctions of Mass Destruction: Prior to the 20th century, the value of money was tied to gold. When banks lent money they were constrained by the size of their gold reserves. But in 1971, US President Richard Nixon took the country off the gold standard. Nixon and Saudi Arabia came to an Oil For Dollars agreement that would change the course of history and become the root cause of countless wars for oil. Under this petrodollar agreement the only currency that Saudi Arabia could sell its oil in was the US dollar. The Saudi Kingdom would in turn ensure that its oil profits flow back into US government treasuries and American banks.

In exchange, America pledged to provide the Saudi Royal family’s regime with military protection and military hardware.

It was the start of something truly great for America. Access to oil defined 20th-century empires and the petrodollar agreement was the key to the ascendancy of the United States as the world’s sole superpower. America’s war machine runs on, is funded by, and exists in protection of oil. Threats by any nation to undermine the petrodollar system are viewed by Washington as tantamount to a declaration of war against the United States of America.

Within the last two decades Iraq, Iran, Libya and Venezuela have all threatened to sell their oil in other currencies. Consequently, they have all been subject to crippling US sanctions.

Over time the petrodollar system spread beyond oil and the US dollar slowly but surely became the reserve currency for global trades in most commodities and goods. This system allows America to maintain its position of dominance as the world’s only superpower, despite being a staggering $23 trillion in debt.

With billions of dollars worth of minerals in the ground and with the world’s largest oil reserves, Venezuela should not only be wealthy, but her people the envy of the developing world. But the nation is essentially broke because American sanctions have cut them off from the international financial system and cost the economy $6 billion over the last five years. Without sanctions, Venezuela could recover easily by collateralizing some of its abundant resources or its $8 billion of gold reserves, in order to get the loans necessary to kick-start their economy.

In order to fully understand the insidious nature of the Venezuelan crisis, it is necessary to understand the genesis of economic sanctions. At the height of World War Two, President Truman issued an order for American bombers to drop “Fat Man” and “Little Boy” on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing 140,000 people instantly. The gruesome images that emerged from the rubble were broadcast through television sets across the world and caused unprecedented outrage. The political backlash forced US policy makers to devise a more subtle weapon of mass destruction: economic sanctions.

The term “weapons of mass destruction” (WMD) was first defined by the United Nations in 1948 as

“atomic explosive weapons, radioactive material weapons, lethal chemical and biological weapons, and any weapons developed in the future which have characteristics comparable in destructive effect to those of the atomic bomb or other weapons mentioned above”.

Sanctions are clearly the 21st century’s deadliest weapon of mass destruction.

In 2001, the US administration told us that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction; Iraq was a terrorist state; Iraq was tied to Al Qaeda. It all amounted to nothing. In fact, America already knew that the only weapons of mass destruction that Saddam had were not nuclear in nature, but rather chemical and biological. The only reason they knew this in advance was because America sold the weapons to Saddam to use on Iran in 1991.

What the US administration did not tell us was that Saddam Hussein used to be a strong ally of the United States. The main reason for toppling Saddam and putting sanctions on the people of Iraq was the fact that Iraq had ditched the Dollar-for-Oil sales.

The United Nations estimates that 1.7 million Iraqis died due to Bill Clinton’s sanctions; 500,000 of whom were children. In 1996, a journalist asked former US Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, about these UN reports, specifically about the children. America’s top foreign policy official, Albright, replied:

“I think this is a very hard choice, but the price – we think the price is worth it.”

Clearly, US sanctions policies are nothing short of state-sanctioned genocide.

Over the last five years, sanctions have caused Venezuelan per capita incomes to drop by 40 percent, which is a decline similar to that of war torn Iraq and Syria at the height of their armed conflicts. Millions of Venezuelans have had to flee the country. If America is so concerned about refugees, Trump should stop furthering disastrous foreign policies that actually create them. Under Chavez, Venezuela had a policy of welcoming refugees. President Chavez turned Venezuela into the wealthiest society in Latin America with the best income equality.

Another much vilified leader who used oil wealth to enrich his people, only to be put under severe sanctions, is Muammar Gaddafi. In 1967 Colonel Gaddafi inherited one of the poorest nations in Africa; however, by the time he was assassinated, Gaddafi had turned Libya into Africa’s wealthiest nation. Perhaps, Gaddafi’s greatest crime, in the eyes of NATO, was his quest to quit selling Libyan oil in US Dollars and denominate crude sales in a new gold backed common African currency. In fact, in August 2011, President Obama confiscated $30 billion from Libya’s Central Bank, which Gaddafi had earmarked for the establishment of an African Central Bank and the African gold-backed Dinar currency.

Africa has the fastest growing oil industry in the world and oil sales in a common African currency would have been especially devastating for the American dollar, the US economy, and particularly the elite in charge of the petrodollar system.

It is for this reason that President Clinton signed the now infamous Iran-Libya Sanctions Act, which the United Nations Children’s Fund said caused widespread suffering among civilians by “severely limiting supplies of fuel, access to cash, and the means of replenishing stocks of food and essential medications.” Clearly, US sanctions are weapons of mass destruction.

Not so long ago, Iraq and Libya were the two most modern and secular states in the Middle East and North Africa, with the highest regional standards of living. Nowadays, US Military intervention and economic sanctions have turned Libya and Iraq into two of the world’s most failed nations.

“They want to seize Libya’s oil and they care nothing about the lives of the Libyan people,” remarked Chavez during the Western intervention in Libya in 2011.

In September 2017, President Maduro made good on Chavez’s promise to list oil sales in Yuan rather than the US dollar. Weeks later Trump signed a round of crippling sanctions on the people of Venezuela.

On Monday, US National Security adviser John Bolton announced new sanctions that essentially steal $7 billion from Venezuela’s state owned oil company. At that press conference Bolton brazenly flashed a note pad that ominously said “5,000 troops to Colombia.” When confronted about it by the media, Bolton simply said,

“President Trump stated that all options are on the table”.

America’s media is unquestionably the most corrupt institution in America. The nation’s media may quibble about Trump’s domestic policies but when it comes to starting wars for oil abroad they sing in remarkable unison. Fox News, CNN and the New York Times all cheered the nation into war in Iraq over fictitious weapons of mass destruction, whilst America was actually using sanctions of mass destruction on the Iraqi people. They did it in Libya and now they are doing it again in Venezuela. Democracy and freedom have always been the smoke screen in front of capitalist expansion for oil, and the Western Media owns the smoke machine. Economic warfare has long since been under way against Venezuela but military warfare is now imminent.

Trump just hired Elliot Abrams as US Special Envoy for Venezuela, who has a long and torrid history in Latin America. Abrams pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about the Iran Contra affair, which involved America funding deadly communist rebels, and was the worst scandal in the Reagan Era. Abrams was later pardoned by George Bush Senior. America’s new point man on Venezuela also lied about the largest mass killing in recent Latin American history by US trained forces in El Salvador.

There is nothing more undemocratic than a coup d’état. A UN Human Rights Council Rapporteur, Alfred de Zayas, pointed out that America’s aim in Venezuela is to “crush this government and bring in a neoliberal government that is going to privatise everything and is going to sell out; a lot of transitional corporations stand to gain enormous profits and the United States is driven by the transnational corporations.”

Ever since 1980, the United States has steadily devolved from the status of the world’s top creditor country to the world’s most indebted country. But thanks to the petrodollar system’s huge global artificial demand for US dollars, America can continue exponential military expansion, record breaking deficits and unrestrained spending.

America’s largest export used to be manufactured goods made proudly in America. Today, America’s largest export is the US dollar. Any nation like Venezuela that threatens that export is met with America’s second largest export: weapons, chief amongst which are sanctions of mass destruction.

A Modern Mania

February 4, 2019 — Every society seems destined to suffer at least one episode of crowd madness from the Dutch Tulip Mania in 1636, the British South Sea Bubble in 1720, hyper-inflation in the Weimar Republic in 1923 and in Zimbabwe in 2008, bank failures, booms and depression, and evil eras of murderous madness like those of the Bolsheviks in Russia, the Red Guards in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia [and the coalition on the willing in North Africa and the Middle East – Ed].

Today a modern madness, less dramatic but more insidious, is affecting the affluent West. It is the phobia about hydro-carbon energy now being blamed for every natural disaster, and the parallel religious worship of everything “green”.

“Green Energy” is a relic from a bygone era when most people lived or worked on farms and relied on animal power, windmills, sailing ships, solar energy and biomass. Subsidising, mandating and promoting its use in modern urbanised industrial society is a con-trick worthy of the shady salesmen of past manias. Weather-dependent “Green Energy” may suit remote or stand-alone applications, but is unreliable and destabilises electricity grids. It is destroying Australian industry and jobs and harming consumers, while disfiguring the landscape and having no measurable effect on global temperature.

Manias always end badly. Suffering electricity consumers forced to endure the costs of its unreliability will eventually revolt and we will abandon this modern “Green Energy” mania. Full story: destroy an electricity grid in three easy steps

Comment: Brother Branham prophesied a race war in the United States (The Third Exodus, p. 24:1-2; And Knoweth it Not, p. 37:2). This morning the Deputy PM spoke of the “rich cultural diversity” [inassimilable people] Australia wants!? NO nation wants diversity—death knell to unity and program for global social cataclysm, “the general reactionary movement which will follow [the ongoing World War III] the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.” Then Lucifer’s one world government (Matthew 4:8-9).


Outline: the Revelation of the Seven Seals

From the foundation of the world the Bible was sealed with seven unwritten mysteries, without whose truth “no one in heaven, nor on earth, neither under the earth was able to open the Book, neither to look thereon.” For us Gentiles they have disclosed what the voices of the Seven Thunders uttered, while Israel will see their corollary, the Seven Trumpet mysteries (Daniel 9:24; 12:4, 9, and Revelation 10:4; Matthew 24:31; Revelation 8:2, 6 – 11:19). They were sealed “to the time of the end, when many scrutinize, running carefully through every page of the Book (Habakkuk 2:2): seeking an understanding of the prophecy of the seventh angel, and subsequently, the Message of the two witnesses to Israel, and the discovery of God’s purpose shall be increased . . . None of the wicked shall understand, but the wise will understand”.

Revelation 1:3 “Blessed is he that reads, and they that [not only] hear the Words of this prophecy [of future events (Revelation 1:1)], but keep in mind and live those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand [for these prophecies to be revealed as they were unveiled through the Church Ages].” In the worship of the Christian communities as in the synagogues, one member read aloud while the congregation listened (Colossians 4:16). The art of reading was not a general accomplishment in the circles from which the Christian societies were for the most part recruited, and lector or reader became one of the minor offices in the church as it is to this day in the Lutheran church.

The first Six Seals are written in Old Testament symbols, however Seventh Seal of Revelation 8:1 simply states “When Christ had opened the Seventh Seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” It is unwritten because it is the revelation of the previous Six Seals which is the voices of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10 which John, like Daniel, was forbidden to write.

Pillar of CloudRevelation 10:1-6 was fulfilled on March 8, 1963 when Christ descended upon Mount Sunset in Arizona and Brother Branham was caught up into the Pillar of Cloud to complete the constellation of the seven angels or Church Age Messengers. “And I saw another mighty Angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon His head, and His face was as it were the sun, and His feet as pillars of fire (I Thessalonians 4:14-16; Job 14; I Corinthians 13:10): and He had in His left hand a little Book open: and He set His right foot [in judgment] upon the [beast from the] sea [Papal Rome], and His left foot [in judgment] on the [beast from the earth] the United States [image unto Imperial Rome]. And cried with a loud Voice, as when a lion roars: and when He had cried, Seven Thunders uttered their voices. And when the Seven Thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Seal up those things which the Seven Thunders uttered, and write them not.”

“And the Angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up His right hand to heaven, and swore by Him that lives forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be (Gk.) ‘Chronos’ time no longer [for the Seventh Seal takes us into the renewed heavens and earth (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 501:231-232)]. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, [William Branham (1909 – 1965)] when he begins to proclaim [his Message (Matthew 25:6; I Thessalonians 4:16)], the mystery of God should be finished as He has declared to His servants the prophets” (Isaiah 24:1-23; 26:1-27:13; 66:1-24; Daniel 7:11-12; Zechariah 14:1-21 Malachi 3:4; 4:1-3).

In contrast to the injunctions given to Daniel (Daniel 12:9-13), Brother Branham who is the angel of Revelation 22:8-11, tells John who represents Christ’s end-time Bride throughout the Book of Revelation, “Seal not the sayings of this Book: for the time is near. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” Such is ever the difference between the prophecy of the old, preparatory dispensation, and the prophecy of the new, consummate dispensation.

The time of the end commenced on March 8, 1963 when Revelation 4:1 – 5:14 and Revelation 10:1-4 were fulfilled. “Seven Angels come down from God, visibly standing right there, and told me about the end time, and these revelations and things of the Book of Revelation, the Seven Seals, and said, “Return home, and one by one will bring the Message.” That, that’s right” (Testimony, #63-1128M, p. 6:32). His Message restored the apostolic faith, revealed the Seven Seals which are the mysteries contained in the Seven Thunders, and introduced Christ’s second or (Gk.) ‘parousia’ Coming. He delivered the Revelation of the Seven Seals to His Church from March 17 to March 24, 1963 as outlined below.

GOD IN SIMPLICITY March, 17, 1963 explains how God hides Himself in simplicity and reveals Himself in simplicity and humility.

BREACH BETWEEN THE CHURCH AGES & THE SEALS March 17, 1963. Marriage breakdown and Christ’s divorce from the adulterous church which is nothing but the world bearing His Name in vain.

THE FIRST SEAL March 18, 1963. The Living Creature with the face of a LION guarded the way into the Presence by new birth as Satan rode his White Horse from Pentecost through the Ephesian, Smyrnean and Pergamean Church Ages garnering SPIRITUAL POWER. “The deeds of the nicolaitanes” were codified as “doctrine” (dogma) in AD325 at the Hegelian dialectic of the First Nicaea Council where the Judaeo-Roman Universal church was inaugurated under its president Emperor Constantine, and “those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9). Based on an 8th century forgery, the Donation of Constantine, Bishop Boniface III was declared [first] Pontiff and head of all the churches on February 19, 607. The teachings of the Roman church were regarded as the foundation of law and order so heresy was an offence against the state as well as the church. For centuries civil rulers sought to stamp out heresy. (We see a repetition of this in the misguided zeal of the patsies of political Islam (the Arab World including Mohammedanism) and political Zion (including the State of Israel and apostate churches) trying to do God a service contrary to His will, blindly fulfilling the 1871 plan for World War III: “Directed in such a manner that Islam and Political Zionism will destroy themselves while at the same time the remaining nations, once more divided against each other on this issue, [they] 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 is designed to accomplish
this devilish purpose?”

Satan is building his huge universal church upon the ignorance of intellectual scholarship and human wisdom. “While God in His wisdom foresaw that the world would never know Him through human genius, and was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of preaching” (I Corinthians 1:21). God is building His Kingdom upon sovereign faith in the mind of Christ established upon the Absolute of two or three witnesses of His unchanging Word, “But if one does not recognize this, let him remain ignorant” (I Corinthians 14:38).

These Jewish, so-called Christian and Muslim patsies are earth-bound, serving impotent gods requiring man to do their works by whatever dishonourable bloody means they choose. In Matthew 4:8-9 Satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world. And said, All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” Christians are heaven-born: the Kingdom of God is in us. Judaism, which is Pharisaism, was born in Babylon: their lewd holy (sic) book, the Talmud “makes the commandments of God of non-effect” (Matthew 15:6). Judaeo-Roman Catholicism is Babylonian religion in Christian guise impersonating Israel’s temple worship. Islam is a pastiche of Talmudism, Romanism, Zoroastrianism and other religious myths assembled in the Koran as the dispensation change from the Pergamean to the Thyratirean Church Age and Gentiles became the Christian majority. Every serious student of Islam will know this simply by following the text of the Koran to its sources preserved in the original tongues that preceded Mohammed by up to and over a thousand years.

THE SECOND SEAL March 19, 1963. The Living Creature guarding the way back to God and eternal Life bore the face of an OX. Satan was garnering POLITICAL POWER over the monarchies as the first of many Popes, wearing the triple tiara mounted on his Red Horse through the Thyatirean Church Age. After certain civil rulers were unwilling or unable to punish dissenters for heresy the Judaeo-Roman church took over this role and following the crusades (1095–1291) Gregory IX (1227-1241) created a special court to investigate suspects, often using torture to “save” wayward souls. Rome martyred so many Christians during the Thyatirean Age that the faith, which was in their hearts, was lost, bringing the Dark Ages upon Europe.

THE THIRD SEAL March 20, 1963. The Living Creature guarding the way back to the Presence had the face of a MAN while Satan rode his Black Horse through the Sardisean and Philadelphian Church Ages garnering DEMON POWER through education: the Counter Reformation of the 1500’s and 1600’s, the Judaeo-Jesuit Order established in 1534 paved the way for social, political, moral, military, educational and religious anarchy; the Council of Trent 1545-1563 reaffirmed transubstantiation, defended indulgences, approved prayers to the saints, and established seminaries, then in 1542 the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition was established to “spread sound Catholic doctrine and defend those points of Christian tradition which seem in danger because of new and unacceptable (Protestant scriptural) doctrines.”

THE FOURTH SEAL March 21, 1963. The Living Creature with the face of an EAGLE has defended the way to Truth and Eternal Life throughout Laodicea by restoring the revelation that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Meanwhile Satan has ridden his sickly Pale Green Horse, a hybridized monster of his previous three steeds as the ultimate beast is a composite of the evil attributes of all four Gentile empires, and denominational “names of blasphemy” (Revelation 13:2-11; 17:3). In Laodicea the demonic spirits from the White Horse ride of the Dragon (Revelation 12:3), Satan Himself, wielded SPIRITUAL POWER to persuade the world’s leaders and the whole world to unite for or against Fascism, and earth suffered her first birth pain in World War I. Between 1922 and 1975, twenty-one nations were fascist and ten other nations including the USA, UK, Canada and Australia had significant fascist movements. Then wielding POLITICAL POWER the Roman beast acquired under Satan’s Red Horse ride (Revelation 13:1), the Adversary persuaded the world to unite with or against National Socialism, and earth suffered her second birth pain in World War II. Now DEMON POWER inculcated by intellectual education and carnal reasoning against the faith on Satan’s Black Horse ride, combined with his SPIRITUAL and POLITICAL POWER has produced the spirit of Laodicea which means “Rights of the People” to thus divide the secular world under Judaeo-Communism from religious elements under totalitarian Romanism, restore peace and inaugurate one world government under Satan incarnate in her pope following the ‘hot stage’ of the now ongoing World War III (Albert Pike).

We are living between the Sixth and the Seventh Vial (Revelation 16:13-16). The Christian dispensation will terminate at the close of the FOURTH SEAL when the Seventh Trumpet sounds, the Sixth Seal manifests, and the Seventh Vial pours its curse upon the apostate churches. Thereafter the demonic spirits working miracles will gather the world to the great battle of God Almighty.

THE FIFTH SEAL March 22, 1963. These souls under the animal blood poured out at the foot of the sacrifice altar are not Jews but Semitic Israelites of the seed of Jacob, martyred for their stand on the testimony of Moses and the Old Covenant between Christ’s death of on Calvary and the close of the Gentile or Christian dispensation at the manifestation of the Sixth Seal (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 369:5; 388:1; 408:5; An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 279). These people will be granted into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment following the General resurrection.

THE SIXTH SEAL March 23, 1963. The manifestation of this Seal will terminate the Christian dispensation of Grace sinking Los Angeles. After the resurrection and translation of Christ’s Bride of all Ages, Daniel’s Seventieth Week will commence and God will anoint two Israelite prophets. Satan will incarnate the pope and ride his Pale Green Horse to perdition with his followers. The Great Tribulation under which the Church was persecuted for two thousand years will come upon 144,000 Elect Israelites who will be born-again and martyred. The foolish virgins and other classes of the “saved” will also be martyred in this time. Thereafter the beast and the false prophet will be cast alive into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone (Revelation 19:20), joined after the General Resurrection by Satan (Revelation 20:10).

THE SEVENTH SEAL March 24, 1963 was opened by Christ at the sounding of the Seven Thunders over Sunset Mountain on about March 8, 1963. The revelation of this unwritten Seal is the exposition of the previous Six written Seals “and we do have today, by God’s help, the perfect interpretation of the Word with Divine vindication” (COD, p. 1005:57). “The Seven Thunders in Revelation 10 are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals finishes the mystery of God. These divinely revealed mystery truths will literally turn the hearts of the children to the Pentecostal fathers” (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 328).

THE PILLAR OF CLOUD.

Revelation 10:1-4, “I saw another mighty Angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon His head, and His face was as it were the sun, and His feet as pillars of Fire: and He had in His hand a little Book open: and He set His right foot upon the sea, and His left foot on the earth, and cried with a loud Voice, as when a lion roars: and when He had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a Voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not”.

Many people focus on the scientific explanation surrounding the cloud, or lack thereof. These issues pale in comparison to the real issue which is: Are William Branham’s accounts of the cloud’s formation credible? If they are not, then where does that leave a person with respect to William Branham’s overall credibility?

Many of those who have believed and followed the Prophet’s recorded sermons over many years and memorised the quotes have fallen into the camp of scoffers, make-believers and un-believers, because they have neglected to take his Message back to two or three witnesses in the Absolute, which is the Holy Bible first written in the heavens, then in the Great Pyramid, and finally in our Bible of paper and ink. The Message is not the Absolute, the Holy Bible is the Absolute. It matters not what Moses, Isaiah, Jesus, Paul or Brother Branham said: what matters is what they meant. Anyone can read and memorise the Books of the Bible and quote the Prophet’s Message; only the Holy Spirit understands and can reveal what it means, so we must take the Message and the Scriptures to two or three witnesses in the Absolute to make our calling and election sure.

Because he was deeply concerned about the confused claims published by believethesign.com who neither understand nor believe the heavenly sign, a certain pastor wrote:

> Also of importance is the issue of the difference in dates pertaining to the Cloud’s appearance and WMB’s hunting trip. believethesign.com

Science Magazine, 19 April, 1963Brother Branham must have been home in Tucson on February 28, 1963 preparing for his hunting trip, unaware of this public appearance of “the sign of Christ’s imminent ‘parousia’ Coming,” Daniel 7:9, Revelation 1:14 and 10:1-4. Dr. James E. McDonald of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, University of Arizona wrote: “Approximately 175 letters have now been received from persons who observed the stratospheric cloud. Correspondence with those who indicated that they had taken photos has led to a present total of 85 photographs from 35 different localities in Arizona and New Mexico (Stratospheric Cloud over Northern Arizona; and Status of Investigation of the Northern Arizona Stratospheric Cloud of February 28, 1963). Daniel 7:10-14; Zechariah 14:4-5, Matthew 24:3, 30-31 and Luke 21:24-33 foretell a similar public sign over the Mount of Olives after the end of the Gentile dispensation. It will announce Christ’s second or ‘parousia’ Coming to Israel heralding the “Kingdom of God” on earth for which His disciples sought before their re-birth (Acts 1:6). We go to “the Kingdom of heaven” for the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the Sky (Revelation 19:9).

An article in Life Magazine (May 17, 1963)—“High Cloud Ring of Mystery” over Arizona—caught Brother Norman’s attention while visiting and he borrowed the magazine. When Brother Branham came by the following Sunday to take the Normans to dinner, he recognized the Cloud as that into which he was caught up from Sunset Mountain where he was hunting with Brothers Gene Norman and Fred Sothman on March 8, 1963. He borrowed the magazine and reported his discovery to the Church on Saturday, June 1, 1963 in his sermon “Come, follow Me,” p. 2:13-16. Also see “Standing in the Gap, p. 21:82; June 23, and “Is Your Life worthy of the Gospel? p. 1:6-7, June 30.

This Cloud appeared twice, and Brother Branham could not have known of its appearance on February 28 or these photographs before May 26. Let us discern the logos from Brother Branham’s rhema:

Come, follow Me, p. 2:13-16; June 1, 1963: “When I come [to Tucson], one thing, was by a vision, that [the Lord showed me in Jeffersonville on December 22, 1962 in which] I was standing above [about forty miles northeast of] Tucson up here when a blast went off. Brother Fred was there [but Brother Branham was alone picking sand burrs from his trouser legs] when it went off. [Brother Branham is speaking of the fulfilment of Revelation 10:1-4 on March 8, 1963 when he was hunting with Brothers Sothman and Norman at Sunset Mountain in the Coronado Forest]. And they [anonymous members of the public] took that picture [of the Cloud on February 28], you know, in the sky. And I didn’t think much about it, never noticed it [until I saw “Life” magazine]. So it begin to impress me somehow the other day. And Brother Norman, Norma’s father here, told me, said, “Did you notice this?”

“And just as I looked [at the magazine], right there was them angels just as plain as they could be, setting right there in that picture. You see? I looked to see when it was, and it was time, same ’bout day or two before or, day or two after I was up there [in Sunset Mountain]. I looked where it was at: northeast of Flagstaff [200 miles nor’-nor’-west from Tucson as the crow flies], or Prescott [165 miles nor-west from Tucson as the crow flies], which is below Flagstaff. Well, that’s just where we was at (See?), just exactly.” [Yes, “you was at” Tucson preparing for your hunt [in March] whereas the Cloud was 200 miles nor’-nor’-west of you as the crow flies in February]!

“Twenty-six miles high; why, vapour can’t go for over four miles high, or five, moisture, any kind of fog or anything. You see? Planes fly at nineteen thousand. That’s to get up above all the clouds. You see? And nineteen thousand is about four miles high. This is twenty-six miles high and thirty miles across it, and in the shape of the pyramid, if you’ve looked at the picture [of the Cloud that appeared over Prescott and Flagstaff on February 28, 1963].”

“And on the right-hand side, as I told you I noticed, outstanding, that Angel, there He is, chest out, wings back, coming right in, just exactly the way it was. I never noticed it when they first . . . There’s been so many things. [In the Seventh Seal the Prophet explains the last angel was his own theophany]”.

Standing in the Gap, p. 21:82; June 23, 1963: “And now, I didn’t know at the time, that they were taking pictures of that, scientists was [on February 28], as the Angels lowered themselves from heaven to bring the Message. And you remember, I said the one on the right side of the constellation had His—kinda chest back, and His wings . . . You remember me saying that, all of you? And how that I watched him? He was very distinctive from the others. And I didn’t know [until about May 26] they were taking a picture of it, ’cause immediately [after the Cloud of Revelation 10:1-4 manifested on March 8] I hurried east [to the Church in Jeffersonville, Indiana, but probably not before March 10 or 12]. But going back home to Tucson, there it was all through the papers that had been seen almost nationwide or plumb into Mexico, all the western States. And I think the “Courier” over here . . . It was on the Associated Press. How many saw a mysterious cloud in the sky? Let’s see the hands. And now, the “Life” Magazine picked it up. And I have the article here this morning in the “Life” Magazine there, of the show . . . Now, here it is, the same time I was there. See the pyramid or the Cloud? I was standing just below this. And there . . . See the distinctive Angel on the right hand side? See the pointed wing of it? Just exactly what was said. And here’s interview of Mexico and different places from where they took the picture. Now, this scientist here is trying to get all the information about the picture that he can, about the people who has the picture. He’s studying it”.

The Lord Jesus opened the First Seal nine days after this public sign appeared over Flagstaff on February 28. He daily unveiled the revelation of the Seals to His Prophet “in the little room” at Brother and Sister Wood’s Jeffersonville home where he was praying and studying. He delivered the rhema of their logos from March 17 to 24, 1963 in absolute ignorance of the appearance of the Cloud on February 28, photographs or media interest, until May 26. Were news of the Cloud noised abroad at that time, “Life” Magazine would have published it before May 17, or not at all.

In spite of the Judaeo-Catholic church and the truly exceptional imagination of some Brothers, angels are the theophanies of human beings, without wings. Brother Branham was referring to the swept back appearance of the Lord’s beard in the Cloud as it ‘flew’ eastward. In Malachi 4:2 we read, “Unto you who fear My Name will the Sun of righteousness [Jesus Christ] arise with healing [restoration and glorification] in His wings [His beams are likened to the outstretched wings of a bird]; and the righteous will go forth [rejoicing] as calves released from the darkness of a winter stall to frisking for joy in spring pastures” (Isaiah 30:26; Jeremiah 30:17; Revelation 1:16). The evening-time Light is restoring and building faith in us for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation (Joel 2:25; Zechariah 17:7; Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11; 24:27-28; Ephesians 1:17-23; Revelation 10:7; 18:1).

The glory of the Lord represented in this Cloud is made up of the theophanies of the seven angels and their converts, including you and every member of Christ’s end-time Bride who was also present in theophany when the Lamb claimed the Book (Revelation 5:8-14). Redemption is over, and since we were predestinated to be reborn of the fullness of the Word, we were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary. This is “that great Cloud of witnesses . . . the general assembly and Church of the Firstborn who are written in heaven” (I Thessalonians 4:13-14; Hebrews 12:1, 22; Jude 14).

Is Your Life worthy of the Gospel? p. 3:12, June 30: “I’d say 8:00 o’clock or 9:00 [on March 8, 1963], wouldn’t you think something like that, Brother Fred; maybe 9:00 o’clock, something? I run over on this side quickly to keep the javelinas from seeing me. They’re wild boar, you know, and they’re pretty scary.”

“So I went over the hill this way and started to run up the hill, and I just run along in a little what we call a dog trot; and all of a sudden the whole country just rung out. I never heard such a terrific blast. Just shook and the rocks rolled. And I felt like I must’ve jumped five feet off the ground, looked like. It just scared me. And I thought, “Oh, my . . .” I thought I’d gotten shot, that somebody . . . I had on a black hat. I thought they might’ve thought it was a javelina running up the mountain, somebody had shot me. It went so loud right on me like that. Then all at once something said, “Look up.” There it was. Then He told me, “It’s the opening of those Seven Seals; turn home.” So here I come”.

I expect you now recognize that the pillar of Cloud appeared to the public over Prescott 165 miles nor’-west and Flagstaff 200 miles nor’-nor’-west of Tucson in the evening from around 1840hrs MST on February 28, 1963 to fulfil the requirement of Psalm 19:1. And that the same Cloud appeared a second time to the Prophet and only to him forty miles north east of Tucson between about 0900hrs and 1000hrs MST mid-morning on March 8, 1963 to fulfil his vision of December 22, 1962.

It is the Rising of the Sun, p. 1:8-9; April 18, 1965: “Realizing that our time is limited here, especially for those friends who are listening in by this telephone, I would like to call your attention this morning to a picture that some time ago was taken by the camera of a vision that I had [received on December 22, 1962 and recounted on December 30] here at the Tabernacle [in the sermon, Is This the Sign of the End, Sir?”] of leaving Indiana to [relocate to] Arizona, where I was to meet in the form of a pyramid, seven Angels. Not knowing what would happen, later when I got there, thinking it was the end of my life, that no one could stand the blast . . . (And I’m sure all of you are acquainted with the story). And then in Sabino Canyon one morning like this [at about 8.30am in early January 1963, soon after relocating to Tucson], while in prayer, there had been a sword placed in my hand and said, “This is the Word and the Sword of the Word.”

Later [on March 8, 1963] the Angels appeared as was prophesied [in the vision of December 22, 1962]. And at the same time, [actually without his knowledge on February 28] a great cluster of Light left to where I was standing and moved thirty miles high in the air and around the circle, like the wings of the Angels, and drawed into the skies a shape of a pyramid in the same constellation of Angels that appeared.

It is essential to discern the logos from Brother Branham’s rhema as he frequently conflates the two visitations of the Cloud. Whilst the appearance of the Cloud on February 28 was a public testimony, his assumption from Mount Sunset into the glorious Cloud of God’s Presence on March 8 was seen and experienced by himself alone as on the Day of Atonement Israel’s high priest entered the Presence alone and only he saw the Shekinah in the Holy of Holies.

CloudThe main photograph in Life Magazine was taken over Flagstaff; the small pictures were taken from Prescott, Phoenix, and Winslow, a circumference of roughly 200 miles centered at Prescott. As the Cloud was twenty-six miles high and thirty miles across it would have been overhead wherever one was in that circle. Several months later Brother Branham reminded us that God always signifies major events in the heavens before they take place (Genesis 1:14; Psalm 19:1-5). He also said. “Did you notice before the Seven Seals were revealed, the great mysterious Light showed forth in the heavens up here above Tucson where we were.”

The Shekinah manifest as the Pillar of Cloud on two occasions and at two different locations. The first occasion was on February 28 when it appeared for a public witness seen by thousands and noted by scientists and the media unbeknownst to the Prophet until May 26. The second occasion was over Sunset Mountain when Christ opened the Seven Seals “(Is Your Life worthy of the Gospel,” p. 3:13) when Brother Branham was physically caught up into the “great a Cloud of witnesses,” showing that the Church Ages and Christ’s mediation for ignorance were fulfilled. The “constellation” or alignment of the angels’ Messages of PART-Word and PART-Spirit signify “that which is perfect [or complete]” and we must “look away [from the messengers] to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith” (I Corinthians 13:10; I Thessalonians 4:14; Hebrews 12:1-2; Revelation 4:1-8; 6:1; 18:4). His assumption confirmed his “new commission” and he was told to return to Jeffersonville where the Lord would reveal the mystery of the voices of the Seven Thunders, which is the revelation of the unwritten Seventh Seal expounding the mystery of the six written Seals. Underestimating the Prophet’s hunting prowess I reckoned this had occurred on March 9, 1963, however I later learned that his eldest daughter, our late Sister Rebekah Smith, had said that the correct date was March 8. No one but the Prophet himself saw this manifestation of the Shekinah, which he later ‘recognized’ from photographs of its visible public manifestation taken eight days previously.

Revelation 6:1, “And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the Seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come”.

believethesign.com does not believe, but questions: “Is William Branham Credible? . . . The Scientific Explanation is: On February 28, 1963, a thrust assisted Thor rocket was launched from pad 75-3-5 at Vandenberg Air Force base in California carrying a Keyhole 4 military surveillance satellite. The rocket started to veer off course and was intentionally destroyed at an altitude of 146,000 feet at 1:52pm . . .”

Be this as it may it is irrelevant because the “blast” or single “thunder” of Revelation 6:1 and the Cloud into which Brother Branham was caught up according to the vision and dreams disclosed to the Church in December 1962 manifest not on February 28, 1963 but on March 8, unseen by anyone but God’s Prophet.

On January 26, 1963, before the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International Convention in Phoenix the Lord spoke through his prophet expressing His complete displeasure with them and their system “like so many others they were now just another organization”  (Revelation 3:17-20). After stating the Lord’s anger, he was whirled around by the Holy Spirit in two circles, and as he left the platform he cried with a loud voice, “Come out of her My people”!

Within moments the international directors were summoned to a hastily arranged executive session. There nineteen men passed a motion stating that “No longer would William Branham be invited as a speaker to FGBMFI functions.” The motion passed seventeen to two. Following the passing of the motion, Carl Williams and Clay Sonmore (both executive vice-presidents of the FGBMFI) tendered their resignations if this motion was left to stand and remain on record. In deference to them as persons whose resignations might make waves, the motion was rescinded and removed from the record.

Even though most of these men re-voted to remove the motion from the record, they remained convinced that the ministry of this Prophet should be curtailed and effectively side-lined. From that day they despised the Word of the Lord. They murmured against the Prophet that God sent to the church of Laodicea. On February 28 the Lord Jesus Christ appeared in the heavens wigged as a judge looking down upon Phoenix, and the Pentecostal church along with the Seven Church Ages ended on March 8. William Branham was vindicated (Investments), like Micaiah in the days of the 400 prophets of Jezebel (I Kings 22).

Hebrews 10:30-31, “We know Him who said, Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, and also, The Lord will judge His people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God”.

Pillar of Fire above Brother BranhamAfter preaching Doors in a Doorin Tucson on February 23 Brother Branham received a three-page telegram from Mr. Ted Kipperman, a Jew in partnership with a Catholic named Ayers who was married to a Jewess. These photographers were engaged by the Baptist critic Rev. Dr. Best to take his photograph threatening to skin Brother Bosworth in the auditorium of the Rice Hotel in Houston on January 24, 1950. Six photographs of Dr. Best waving his fist at Brother Bosworth were blank. God would not allow the photographers to dishonour his aged servant. The seventh photograph portrayed Brother Branham overshadowed by the Shekinah. The telegraph was a deep apology by the Jewish photographer and an appeal to Brother Branham to intercede for his sister’s son who was to be executed. Brother Branham postponed his hunting trip and drove to Houston where he entreated the governor in behalf of the boy and his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.

Then on March 4, Brother Branham preached The Absoluteat a prayer meeting convened by the prison chaplain, his long time friend Raymond Hoekstra and immediately after the service he and Brother Norman drove 1,100 miles back to Tucson for the remainder of the Javelina pig hunting season which ran from March 1-10. The hunting party pitched camp on March 6 and Brother Branham shot his javelina the following day, March 7, he was picking a goathead from his trouser leg as shown in the vision when the “blast” went off on March 8.

“The Road to Sunset,” an article published in the June 1992 issue of ONLY BELIEVE magazine discusses the Cloud photographed on February 28, 1963 and details the hunting trip in March; the “blast,” his union in the cloud of angels, and his new commission. nl1057.htm
