The Redeemed of the Lord shall Return

The Redeemed of the Lord shall Return

Bible Believers' Newsletter 833

"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 happy to have your company.

Today we consider Jerusalem's supernatural deliverance from Sennacherib in the days of Hezekiah which Brother Branham revealed as a type of Jerusalem's soon-coming supernatural deliverance under the Sixth Seal and Seventh Trump and the return of an election from the Twelve Tribes according to Scripture but contrary to popular expectation as few realize the identity theft that has taken place. God knows, and "all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called [and chosen] according to His purpose." Our study touches the end of the contention between Israel and Esau, and the consummation.

You are encouraged to visit the links in both our main article and in the news items. As usual the belligerent 'unfree' Free World without faith lacks the integrity, fortitude and moral backbone to cut its strings pulled from behind the curtain by the ubiquitous hidden hand. It boastfully named the weak nations it plans to bomb back into the Stone Age five years ahead of time and their order in the queue. It has since threatened Russia and China which will be more than its match as America rejected her last opportunity for national repentance in 1956/7 and is living on past reputation. God is against her and nature will overwhelm both the United States and Israel. Both will be defeated militarily and briefly occupied, then ruled by Rome. Can you feel the "squeeze"?

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.

Towards World War III Scenario? Role of Israel in triggering Attack on Iran

Iran surrounded by peaceful, democratic US military bases

April 23, 2014 — The stockpiling and deployment of advanced weapons systems directed against Iran started in the immediate wake of the 2003 bombing and invasion of Iraq. . . these war plans were led by the US, in liaison with NATO and Israel . . . identified Iran and Syria as the next stage of "the road map to war." US military sources intimated that an aerial attack on Iran could involve a large scale deployment comparable to the US "shock and awe" bombing raids on Iraq in March 2003 . . . employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. . . As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing—that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack—but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections. . .

Already under the Clinton administration, US Central Command (USCENTCOM) had formulated "in war theater plans" . . . "[The] Five-year campaign plan [includes] . . . a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan" . . .

The issue of radioactive fallout and contamination, while casually dismissed by US-NATO military analysts, would be devastating, potentially affecting a large area of the broader Middle East (including Israel) and Central Asian region.

In an utterly twisted logic, nuclear weapons are presented as a means to building peace and preventing "collateral damage." Iran's nonexistent nuclear weapons are a threat to global security, whereas those of the US and Israel are instruments of peace" harmless to the surrounding civilian population".

In a very real sense, this military project, which has been on the Pentagon's drawing board for more than five years, threatens the future of humanity. . . Full story: globalresearch.ca


Obama: 'Remaking the Middle East': The American Gulag

two-faced Obaman

April 22, 2014 — The expansion of the US Empire throughout North Africa and the Middle East has been built around arming and financing vassal states to serve as military outposts of the empire. These vassal regimes, ruled by dictatorial monarchies, and authoritarian military and civilian rulers, rely on force and violence to sustain their rule. The US has supplied the weapons, advisers, and financing allowing them to rule. The US arc of imperial military bases stretching from Egypt through Israel, Turkey, Jordan, Yemen, Iraq, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, is protected by a chain of prison camps containing tens of thousands of political prisoners.

The US engagement, its pervasive presence throughout the region, is accompanied by a chain of jailhouse democracies and dictatorships. Contrary to liberal and conservative policy pundits and academics, US policy for over 50 years has actively sought out, installed and protected bloody tyrants who have pillaged the public treasury, concentrated wealth, surrendered sovereignty and underdeveloped their economies.

Pro-Israel academics at prestigious US universities have systematically distorted the structural bases of violence, authoritarianism and corruption in the Islamic world: blaming the victims, the Turkish and Arab people, and ignoring the role of US empire builders in financing and arming the authoritarian civilian and military rulers and absolutist monarchies and their corrupt military, judicial and police officials.

Contrary to the mendacious tomes published by the prestigious University presses and written mostly by highly respected pro-Israel political propagandists, the remaking of the Middle East depends on the strength of the democratic currents in Islamic society. They are found in the student movements, among the trade unionists and unemployed, the nationalist intellectuals and Islamic and secular forces who oppose the US Empire for very practical and obvious reasons. Along with Israel the US is the main organizer of the vast chain of political prison camps that destroy the most creative and dynamic forces in the region. Greater Arab vassalage provokes the periodic explosion of a vibrant democratic culture and movement; unfortunately it also results in greater US military aid and presence. The real clash of civilizations is between the democratic aspirations of the Eastern popular classes and the deeply embedded authoritarianism of Euro-American-Israeli imperialism. . .

Bob Dole: US should send Weapons to Ukraine

April 21, 2014 — Former Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole said Monday that the US should send weapons, including tanks, to Ukraine to help it resist Russia's moves on its territory and to send Russian President Vladimir Putin a strong message.

"There are a lot of things we could do. We could give the poor Ukrainians some weapons," Dole told about 75 people who gathered to meet him and have photos taken with him. "Putin, I think, senses that Obama will not do anything, so he's got a pretty free hand."

Dole said he'd also put a missile defense system in Poland. In 2009, Obama scrapped the final phase of a defense system Poland sought, though his administration is now pursuing a smaller, phased in system that would have missile interceptors deployed in Poland in 2018.

"I think I would first of all send some tanks and some weapons to help the Ukrainian people," Dole said. "Putin would understand then that we're serious. Those would be consequences . . ." Full story: huffingtonpost.com

Comment: Senility on steroids! The only people allowed to hold office in America must be pro-homosexual war mongers. "Blessed Where are the peacemakers?"


Army Marching Down Queer Street

February 22, 2014 — Bernard Gaynor, the Catholic activist and political conservative, was hung out to dry and had his commission "terminated" by none other than Defence Chief General David Hurley. The former intelligence officer who served in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East, was unceremoniously booted out of the army for saying he didn't like defence personnel appearing in uniform at the Gay Mardi Gras—and for opposing women in combat roles. Hurley said Gaynor's employment was "not in the interests of the Australian Army" because his behaviour was "inconsistent" with new equity and diversity rules. "The manner in which you publicly expressed your personal disagreement with defence policy, particularly the support offered to homosexual and transgender members of the ADF and the decision to permit women to serve in combat roles is significantly below that expected of an officer in the army," Hurley said.

Gaynor will appeal to the Human Rights Commission. He said: "It's a clear case of political and religious discrimination. I find it incredibly offensive that Defence supports the denigration of Christianity with its support for the Mardi Gras. Many Christians find the parade offensive. Now we are told we can only serve if we leave our faith at the door." He said defence chiefs were in the thrall of a powerful gay lobby group. "Disagree with them and you will be drummed out of the service," he said. Gaynor believes the Mardi Gras is essentially a political rally, so it is improper for Defence to take part."

Comment: Jesus prophesied, "As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be when the Son of man is revealed" (Genesis 18; Luke 17:28-30). Our world is in a Sodom condition and once again God has sent three messengers. Billy Graham and Oral Roberts ministered a basic salvation Message to the non-elect of the churches in Sodom while God veiled Himself behind William Branham, a sinner saved by grace, and revealed "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today and forever" by the messianic sign of Hebrews 4:12, the last sign Jesus promised to us Gentiles. "As it was in the days of Lot," Bernard Gaynor and the defence chiefs are fulfilling Scripture. "Man shall live by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Blessed is he who is not offended at My Word" (Matthew 4:4; 11:6).

Adam could not be deceived for he was God's spoken Word whereas woman is not original creation but a byproduct taken from Adam's side when God put him to sleep, as the true Church is formed from the Holy Spirit taken from the last Adam when God put Him to sleep. Woman is made as a helpmate for man, under submission to man and a "keeper at home," not competing in the workplace, and certainly not policing the streets or in combat roles.


USA seeks to join Russian Federation

Putin for POTUS

March 11, 2014 — Fed up with the nation's corrupt, mendacious, ineffectual leadership, a group of Americans is seeking to join the Russian Federation.

"We are collecting signatures for a national referendum on whether to remain a failed state—an economic basket case run by criminal oligarchs—or join the Russian Federation under a President with a proven track record of bringing oligarchs to heel" said Bill Blatsky head of the Join Russia—Putin for President Committee.

Referendum proponents point out that the US has deep historic ties with Russia. "Nearly 20% of the United States consists of Alaska, which was historically Russian territory," Blatsky explains" . . .

Opponents argue that a Join-Russia Referendum would be unconstitutional. Supporters respond that everything the US government has done since 9/11, and most of what it was doing before that is also unconstitutional, but nobody seems to care.

If the Join-Russia Referendum fails to make the national ballot, supporters have a fall-back option: Running Vladimir Putin as a candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America . . . When asked about a possible Putin candidacy, an Obama Administration official argued that the Russian president is ineligible for the US presidency because he is not a natural-born US citizen.

Loretta Fuddy, the state official who is said to have produced a photoshopped document proving that Putin was born in Hawaii, could not be reached for comment. Full story: veteranstoday.com


Provoking the God of Israel

Blasphemy knows no bounds. Someone who knows not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, speaking lies in hypocrisy and having their conscience seared with a hot iron is peddling "One of the most thought provoking films of our time. "That Jew Died For You" brings a new perspective to a haunting question: Where was God during the Holocaust? Was God with the 6 Million who faced the terrors of Nazi death camps? This channel will challenge you to redefine the conversation surrounding the holocaust".

There is no historical or Scriptural truth in this sensual attack upon the unthinking non-Christian majority by a self-styled Jewish minority canvassing political and material advantage by deceit. To suggest that Jesus Messiah was a Jew is blasphemy of the highest order. Neither Jesus of Nazareth nor any of his original disciples was a Jew, and only Jesus and Judas Iscariot were Judahites. There was no such word as "Jew" in any Bible in any language prior to the latter part of the 18th Century, and the meaning of this modern word contradicts the meanings of the two words it has replaced.

The late Benjamin Freedman who renounced Judaism to become a Christian wrote "Facts are Facts" and spent his means and time exposing Jewish lies. "The History of God's Holy Bible and the so-called Jews" supports him with documentation.

Jesus, His original disciples and Paul were Israelites descended from Abraham, Isaac and Israel, not Jews, and they lived in different country. Statistics published by Jewish encyclopedias and every Jewish organization declare over 90% of world Jewry are non-Semitic Khazars (assimilated in AD740) or Sephardim largely Edomite (Canaanite and Hittite) stock as was the population of Judea from the second century BC when Judea's priest-king John Hyrcanus assimilated the Edomites.

Star of DavidBritain's Jewish Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, rightly stated "all is race; there is no other truth, and every race must fall which carelessly suffers its blood to become mixed" (Tancred, p. 106). Disraeli was baptized, and no worshipper of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel would encourage miscegenation which is accursed of God and genocide to Adam's race today "as it was in the days of Noah" (Genesis 1:1; 3:15; 6:1-4; Matthew 24:37). Were Jesus a Jew He would be disqualified from being Israel's Messiah and KINSMAN Redeemer for Adam's race. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel's one law of redemption stipulates the Redeemer must be a "near KINSMAN."

"No man will treat with indifference the principle of race. It is the key to history, and why history is often so confused is that it has been written by men who are ignorant of this principle and all the knowledge it involves . . . Language and religion do not make a race—there is only one thing which makes a race, and that is blood"  (Benjamin Disraeli, Endymion, p. 249-250).


Were "Jesus a Jew" He would be one "God set at enmity with the first and the last Adam" and the redeemer for Cain and his accursed race (Genesis 3:15). So yes, the words of Moses and Jesus "bring a new perspective to a haunting question" overlooked by the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic impersonators of the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Israel.

"Where was God during the Holocaust?"

An excellent question, but which holocaust? There have been so many. The non-Semitic anti-Semitic self-styled Jews claimed Germany exterminated 6 million Jews in the holocaust of World War I; this was a BIG LIE! Then the non-Semitic anti-Semitic self-styled Jews claimed that the Jewish-ruled USSR exterminated 6 million Jews between the World Wars; this too was a BIG LIE! The truth is that Jews murdered 66 million nominal Christians in the USSR. Then the non-Semitic anti-Semitic self-styled Jews claimed Germany exterminated another 6 million Jews in the holocaust of World War II! Jewry was circulating this BIG LIE in 1942 as Auschwitz I, primarily a garrison and offices was completed, ahead of Auschwitz II (Birkenau) built in March, 1942, and Auschwitz III (Monoschwitz) built in October, 1942. On December 13, 1942 the New York Times said "Authenticated reports point to 2 million Jews who have already been slain by all means of satanic barbarism . . . The slaughter of a third of the Jewish population in Hitler's domain . . ." Again on December 18, and on March 2, 1943 it reported a mass demonstration in Madison Square Garden the previous night where Rabbi Hertz, Chief Rabbi of the British Empire was promoting the cabalistic 6 million, and so on.

Seventy years later no authority has discovered extermination gas chambers or plans for any such thing. However EVERY synagogue possesses BIG LIES in their lewd uncanonical holy book the Babylonian Talmud, claiming holocausts of millions, even billions.

"Was God with the 6 Million who faced the terrors of Nazi death camps?"

The "terrors" of the gymnasium or the swimming pool, the arts and crafts centres and libraries, the sports field, maternity clinic, hospital, dentist, or the concerts and symphony orchestras at Auschwitz and other camps? God is not mocked by the BIG LIE!

This channel will challenge you to redefine the conversation surrounding the holocaust".

It has since we referred to world Jewish population figures provided to The World Almanac and Encyclopedia Britannica by impeccable Jewish sources like the American Jewish Committee the years 1921 to 2001 that record an INCREASE in world Jewish population through the years of World War II. Are we to believe the impossible fabrications played on YouTube, or statistics published by the World's most respected Jewish institutions?

The real holocaust in World War II was that of 260 million nominal Christians. The historic growth of world Christian population of 1.5% per annum suggests that 682,400,000 Christians in 1933 should have increased to 853,158,362 by 1948. Owing mostly to World War II which Jewry declared on March 24, 1933, the actual population was 592,406,542, a loss of 260,751,820 Christians. Even at a more conservative growth rate of 1% per annum there were 199,838,673 fewer Christians in 1948 than there would have been without World War II. Full story: youtube.com

Comment: Deuteronomy 32:5-6, "Their spot is not the spot of His children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. Do you thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise?"

According to the Israeli human rights group B'Tselm, between 1967 and 2012, 800,000 Palestinians have been imprisoned at some point, over 20% of the population. Over 100,000 have been held without charges or trial; almost all have been tortured and brutalized. Currently Israel has 4,881 political prisoners and holds 1.82 million Palestinians Gaza's outdoor prison while 2.7 million Palestinians are surrounded by prison-like walls.


The Redeemed of the Lord shall Return


From the establishment of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, all of their conflicts with the neighbouring nations were merely of a local nature. Only when they came in contact with Assyria and Babylon did they enter into relations with the world power but if this endangered the theocratic life, the theocracy approached so much nearer the fulfillment of its task in the world's history. The relation to Assyria was brought about by the desire of Ahaz king of Judah to obtain protection against Syria and Ephraim. Hezekiah his successor sought by the aid of the southern world power, Egypt, to free himself of dependence on Assyria rather than trusting the Lord. This was untheocratic and Assyria was not to be hindered by human power in subjugating Judah. Judah was traversed and desolated and in order to save at least Jerusalem Hezekiah paid a ransom which Sennacherib took then demanded the surrender of the city. The armies of Sennacherib and Pharaoh Tirhara encountered but victory was undecided. God Himself protected His people and compelled Sennacherib to hastily retreat by the fearful desolation wrought by the angel of the Lord, killing 185,000 Assyrian soldiers as they slept (II Kings 19:35). Yet even before Judah was entirely rescued out of the power of Assyria by this miraculous aid, it initiated another relation to the world power, Babylon, which was to become incomparably more fatal.

When Hezekiah recovered from a dangerous illness the Babylonian king Merodach-Baladan sent to congratulate him and to initiate friendly relations. Flattered by the honor Hezekiah met the Babylonian ambassadors with too little reserve and was obliged to hear from Isaiah's lips the denunciation that all of the treasures he had displayed to them with such pride would be carried away as booty, and his children as captives to Babylon. The Babylonian captivity stands clear before Isaiah's prophetic vision, but also its end with "the times of the Gentiles" that would reach to the end of the world, encompassing the Gentile dispensation and ultimately Israel's redemption. Merodach-Baladan saw in Hezekiah an ally against the common enemy, Assyria; thus we see the prophet Isaiah appearing at a period when the immediate relations of the theocracy with the great world-powers would threaten its ruin.

Isaiah 29:1-8, "Woe to Ariel the Lion of God, the city rendered invincible, where David encamped! Add one more year; cut off the heads and let your feasts run their annual cycle. Then I will bring distress upon Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow, and Jerusalem shall be to Me as her name "Ariel" implies, an altar of continual sacrifice to the Lord and she will be delivered. And I will encamp against you roundabout and besiege you with towers, and raise siege works against you. And your voice shall whisper like a ghost out of the dust where you lie buried."

"But the multitude of your strangers (Heb.) 'Zuwr'—Serpent's seed—will be like small dust, and the multitude of the ruthless will be driven away like chaff. And in an instant, suddenly, you will visited by the Lord of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of devouring Fire. And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, with all its equipment, and those who distress her, will vanish like a dream. It will be as when a hungry man dreams he is eating, but when he awakes, he is still hungry: or as a thirsty man dreams he is drinking, and awakes faint, with his thirst not quenched; so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against Mount Zion".


This speaks more of Jerusalem's deliverance in the near future than her plight in days of yore. Isaiah 29 was written after the failure of Sennacherib's intended invasion of Jerusalem under Hezekiah which was a type of Zechariah 14:1-5, Daniel 11:39 and Revelation 16:19. Besides the siege and deliverance from Sennacherib this prophecy ultimately contemplates the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon and Rome, the dispersion of Israelites, their restoration, the destruction of the enemies that besiege the city, and the final glory of Israel (Isaiah 29:17-24). I look beyond the Assyrians to the brief "hot stage" of World War III whereby the God of Israel will have modern Israel utterly defeated resulting in a mass exodus of self-styled Jews that will enable genuine Semitic Israelites of the blood of Abraham, Isaac and Israel to return safely to the Land of the Covenant for their redemption.

The prophecy of verses 1-8 held out the prospect of deliverance but "with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of devouring Fire." Although they found this displeasing it is THUS SAITH THE LORD; those who disbelieve His revealed Word become stupefied and blinded to the revelation (verses 9-12). Isaiah urges the people to fear the Lord, trust in Him alone and worship Him from the heart. "I will do a work of unparalleled vengeance upon the hypocrites and make the wisest counselors as fools." He then chides the perverseness of those who outwardly pretend to trust in God while secretly planning to seek Egyptian aid against the Assyrians. How stupid can they be! The clay can never be equal to the potter, or the work thus formed able to deny the potter, or accuse him of ignorance. A great change shall soon happen: Assyria, which is like Lebanon, will be brought low and Jerusalem will be exalted. Then people will understand the words of the prophet which they had before despised. But behind that deliverance Isaiah discerns the Messianic blessing, and a poor condition of external nature shall be remedied by divine favour; the deaf shall hear and the blind see; the poor and oppressed shall become strong and joyful in the Lord. The violent and false shall be exterminated, for the Lord who redeemed Abraham shall bring Jacob to honour. And in our era, when the Israelites catch the revelation of God's Children, Christ's Bride, those who err in spirit will come to understanding and learn doctrine for they will recognize Christ's 'parousia' (verses 13-24).

I see Jerusalem's unexpected supernatural deliverance from Sennacherib as a type of Jerusalem's unexpected supernatural deliverance from Jewry under the Sixth Seal and Seventh Trump. Whereas the angel of the Lord sent pestilence upon the Assyrians, He will send a pestilence of Muslims and Russians and earthquakes upon the impostors occupying modern Israel.

Brother Branham said, "He is coming. He is coming in clouds, clouds of glory as when He was seen upon the Mount of Transfiguration, and His garments were shining as the power of God enfolded Him. And EVERY eye shall see Him. That means this is not the rapture. This is when He comes to take over His rightful place as World Ruler. This is when those who have pierced Him with their creeds and denominational doctrines shall mourn, and all the people shall wail in terror because of Him Who is the Word."

[The Prophet is not speaking of the physical (Gk.) 'erchomai' return of the glorified Man of Galilee, for that cannot take place until after the consummation so only the glorified saints who return with Him will see Him (Malachi 4:1-3). Brother Branham is describing a period in excess of three and a half years, after which 144,000 elect Israelites will receive the revelation of Christ's (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming, and the remainder of humanity will understand with foreboding the dreadful symbolism of the then famous Pillar of Cloud upon the Mount of Olives. Before Jesus can physically take His rightful place as World Ruler He must first take residence in the millennial temple of the hearts of 144,000 Israelites; here He will be crowned and enthroned when the nation is born in one day (Isaiah 66:8; Zechariah 3:9-10; 14:9)].

"This is the revelation story of Zechariah 12:9-14. [Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming to Israel signified by the Pillar of Cloud over the divided Mount of Olives whose significance will not be recognized for three and a half years]. Zechariah prophesied this about 2,500 years ago. It is just about to take place. Listen. "And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced . . ."

"Now, when is the Gospel returning to the Jews [Israelites]? When the day of the Gentiles is finished. The Gospel is ready to go back to the Jews [Israelites]. Oh, if I could just tell you something that is about to happen right in this our day. This great thing that is about to happen [the recognition of Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming] will carry over to Revelation 11 and pick up those two witnesses, those two prophets, Moses and Elijah, turning the Gospel back to the Jews [Israelites]. We're ready for it. Everything is in order. As the Jews [Israelites] brought the Message to the Gentiles [after Israel's apostasy and the first crucifixion], even so the Gentiles will take it right back to the Jews [Israelites after the Gentile apostasy and the second crucifixion], and the rapture will come."

"Now, remember what we have read in Revelation and Zechariah. Both come right after the tribulation [i.e. the 144,000 will be born-again in the second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week]. The Church of the First-born does not go through the tribulation. We know that. The Bible teaches that . . ."

"The Bride will be taken off the earth. She will be caught up before the great tribulation to meet her Lord in the air. For three and one-half years while the retributive wrath of God is poured out, she will be in the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Then will He return, leaving His Bride in "His Father's house," while He makes Himself known to His brethren. At this very time, the antichrist covenant that the Jews have made with Rome will be broken. Rome and her allies then send their troops to destroy all the God-fearing, Word-abiding Jews [Israelites]."

"But as they come against the city to destroy it, there will appear in the heavens the sign of the Coming of the Son of Man with His mighty armies to destroy them who have been destroying the earth. With the enemy repulsed, Jesus then comes and presents Himself to the 144,000. Having seen His mighty acts of salvation, they have come to know His power. But also seeing His wounds and knowing that they had rejected Him even to that moment, causes them to cry out in the agony of terror and fear, even as did their brethren of old when they stood before Joseph, being sore afraid that they would be killed. But as Joseph said, "Don't be angry with yourselves. It is all right. God was in it all. He did it to preserve life." Even so will Jesus speak peace and love to them" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 36:4-37:1; 40:2).

After describing the seven continuous visions the Lord showed him in June, 1933 concerning seven major events that would transpire before the second physical or (Gk.) 'erchomai' return of the glorified Lord Jesus, five of which had already come to pass by 1965, the Prophet recalls the sixth vision. "The Catholic Church is on the rise. We have had one Catholic president and will no doubt have another."

"What is left? Nothing except Hebrews 12:26. "Whose voice then shook the earth: but now He hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven." Once more God will shake the earth and with it shake everything loose that can be shaken. Then He will renovate it. Just last March, 1964, that Good Friday earthquake of Alaska shook the whole world though it did not unbalance it. But God was warning by a world tremor what He will soon do on a greater scale. He is going to blast and rock this sin-cursed world, my brother, my sister, and there is only one place that can stand that shock, and that is in the fold of the Lord Jesus. And I would beseech you while God's mercy is still available to you, that you give your whole life, unreservedly to Jesus Christ, Who as the faithful Shepherd will save you and care for you and present you faultless in glory with exceeding great joy" (ibid. p.323).

Quoting from Revelation 3:17 the Prophet says, "They are miserable." That means that they are objects to be pitied. Pitied? They scorn pity. They are full of pride. They vaunt what they have. But what they have will not stand the test of time. They have built upon quicksand rather than the rock of the revelation of God's Word. Soon cometh the earthquake. Soon there will come the storms of the wrath of God in judgment. Then comes sudden destruction, and in spite of all their carnal preparation they will still be unprepared for what comes upon the earth. They are those who in spite of all their worldly efforts are actually opposing themselves and don't know it. Objects of pity are they indeed. Pity the poor people who are in this last day ecumenical move, for they call it the move of God, when it is of Satan. Pity those who do not know the curse of organization. Pity those who have so many beautiful churches, such lovely parsonages, such grandly trained choirs, such a show of wealth and such a sedate and reverent form of worship. Pity them, don't envy them. Back to the old store buildings, back to the dimly-lit rooms, back to the cellars, back to less of the world and more of God. Pity those who make their great claims, and talk about their gifts. Feel for them as objects of pity, for soon they will be objects of wrath" (ibid. p. 346:1).

Sign of Matthew 24:3bIn his Message, "What is the Attraction on the Mountain?" Brother Branham said, "Remember Zechariah 9, what it said? [He was referring to verses 9-10 which prophesied how David's greater Son would enter Jerusalem peaceably without armies or weapons, humbly riding upon a colt, the foal of an ass to establish worldwide peace and a Kingdom of unlimited extent]. And they didn't recognize it. Now, what is it today? [The Gentiles have not recognized His second or 'parousia' Coming despite the public witness of the sign of Matthew 24:3b, 26:64, Acts 1:9-11, Daniel 7:9 and Revelation 1:7, 14 on February 28, 1963 of His Coming over Sunset Mountain on March 8, 1963]. Zechariah 14, speaking of His Coming: "And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives again, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof towards the east and towards the west, and there shall be a very great valley; . . . half of the mountain shall be moved towards the north, and half . . . towards the south. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountain; for the valley of the mountain shall reach from Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like you fled in the days of the earthquake in the days of Uzziah the king of Judah . . ."

"Another earthquake splitting open the earth! If you want to follow out a Scripture here, notice in this 5th verse, it applies that the cleaving of the Mount of Olives is due to an earthquake, and this is confirmed by Isaiah 29:6 and Revelation 16:19. Exactly! What is it? The same prophet told of His first Coming, seen His second Coming! Notice, "As in the days of the earthquake." See what the earthquakes are doing, see the predictions of them?"

". . . and the Lord your God shall come, and all of His saints with thee."

"And it shall come to pass in that day, (Hallelujah.) in that day, that the light shall not be clear, or dark: but it shall be one day with . . . one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that in the evening time it shall be light".
(O God!)

"It shall be Light about the evening time," same prophet. And the people is blind! What's the attraction? Let's read a couple more verses:

"And it shall be in that day, that the living waters shall go forth from Jerusalem; half of them towards the former sea, and half . . . towards the hinder sea: in the summer and . . . winter shall it be." (The Gospel going forth; both Jew [Israelite] and Gentile).

"And the Lord shall be king over . . . the earth: in that day and there shall be one Lord, and His Name one". . . The signs that our prophets foretold; (that earthquake to the Gentiles to the last day)
(p. 15:97-98).

Isaiah 34 and 35 contain a concluding glance at the deliverance of the whole house of Israel out of the judgment and salvation of the Messianic end-time of reconciliation and redemption. Isaiah 34 comprehends the constellations of God's first Bible and how they portray the judgment against Israel's most bitter enemy, Esau/Edom. Isaiah 35 describes the salvation that will be wrought in 144,000 elect Israelite martyrs who "keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ" (Revelation 6:11; 12:17; 14:12-13; 15:1-4; Matthew 27:25). But here Isaiah makes prominent only one principal point: their return from the lands of exile in the start of Daniel's Seventieth Week to the Land of the Covenant for their redemption: outside the land God's Covenant with Israel is of no effect.

In Isaiah 34:1-5 the Lord addresses all nations as His wrath is kindled against all nations and all that belongs to them. Their destiny is utter destruction for His glory, (Heb.) 'cherem', and the slain will be unburied. The prophecy against Edom in verses 1-4 exemplifies in one nation the recompense God will apply to all. The manifestation of the Sixth Seal, Seventh Trumpet and casting down of Satan is the setting for this address.

Revelation 6:12-14, "When He opened the Sixth Seal I saw a vast earthquake (Ezekiel 32:7-8; Revelation 8:5; 11:19; 16:18; 18:21); and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair (Isaiah 50:3; 13:10), and the full moon became as blood (Joel 2:10, 31; 3:15; Acts 2:20); and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth as a fig tree casts her untimely figs (Isaiah 13:13; 34:4; 51:6; Matthew 24:29; Revelation 6:12-14; 12:8-9), being shaken by a great wind (Isaiah 29:6). And the heaven departed as a scroll rolled up together (Isaiah 34:4; 54:10; II Peter 3:10) and every mountain and island were moved out of their places".

In Isaiah 24:19-22 we find this prophecy of Isaiah 34:1-4 at a further stage of its fulfillment, "The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is rent asunder, the earth is violently shaken. The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard, and sways like a shanty; its transgression weighs heavily upon it; it shall fall to rise no more (Isaiah 24:1). In that day the Lord shall punish the host of heaven in heaven (Isaiah 13:11; Revelation 12:7-17), and the kings of the earth on the earth (Revelation 16:14-16). They will be gathered together as prisoners are gathered in a pit and imprisoned in a dungeon, and after many days [of a thousand years] shall they be visited" (Daniel 7:17; II Peter 2:4; Jude 6; Revelation 20:1-15) [and raised in the general resurrection for the White Throne Judgment].

Verses 5-15: "God's sword will be intoxicated with anger in heaven, and after Satan and his host have been cast down it will descend to continue His judgment upon earth, commencing with Edom, [the enemy within Israel] and upon the people of My curse, to judgment" (Deuteronomy 32:35, 41; Isaiah 63:1-19; Jeremiah 49:13, 22). In verse 6 the Edomites are regarded as a sacrifice and the entire people will perish. In consequence of the slaughter the earth itself is drunk with blood, and fat with fat. As a true construction can only be done by measuring line and plumb bob, so a deliberate destruction will be directed by the same instruments.

Tongue of Egyptian SeaIsaiah 35 prophesies the return of the twelve tribes of Israel from the lands of their exile to the Land of the Covenant in the beginning of Daniel's Seventieth Week. The most severe punishment for a genuine Israelite of the blood of Abraham, Isaac and Israel is expulsion from the Land of the Covenant where he cannot even observe the sabbath day. Here Isaiah introduces the prospect of their joyful homecoming in contrast with the fearful judgments that will come upon the Edomites and other nations. Even the desert will blossom and change its nature into a place of blessing at the prospect of their homecoming and the promise of "seeing the glory of the Lord."

The timid shall gain fresh courage at the prospect of vengeance and deliverance from their God; the blind shall see the revelation and the deaf will hear and understand. "And there shall be a highway for the remnant from Assyria and Egypt; the Nile Delta will become passable by a mighty wind drying its seven streams while the tongue of the Egyptian (Red) Sea has dried up for a distance of at least 50 miles from its ancient head at Heroonpolis, thus the prophecy of Isaiah is already fulfilled" (Isaiah 11:11, 15-16; Revelation 12:14).

Isaiah 35:3-10, "Strengthen the weak hands and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those of a fearful heart, "Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with recompense; He will come and save you." How can Israel fear when the Lord hastens to visit vengeance on their sworn enemy (Genesis 27:39-41) and to redeem His people?

"Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a deer, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing, because waters shall break forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. The burning sand shall become an actual lake [rather than a mirage], the thirsty land springs of water, and in the haunt of jackals there shall be grass with reeds and rushes. And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it; and the most foolish will not lose their way. No lion shall be there, nor any beast of prey be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

"And so the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
Praise the Lord!

The returnees have every reason to rejoice and be of good cheer in "seeing that the glory of the Lord" has prepared their way, because the unprecedented upset of nature at the manifestation of the Sixth Seal in demolishing the Dome of the Rock ignited the 'hot stage' of World War III making these Israelites persona non grata in the Muslim lands where they have dwelt in exile 2,500 years. Suddenly they are refugees like their Semitic Palestinian brothers but as the Lord caused the Jebusites, Hittites, Canaanites, Amalekites and others to plough and plant the land, dig the wells, and uild the roads, cities and towns for their forefathers to occupy under Joshua and Caleb, He has caused their children to prepare the land for the Israelites to occupy in Daniel's Seventieth Week when modern Israel becomes "a land without a people for a people without a land".

Micah 1:2-4, "Let all the peoples of the world listen: and let the Lord God be a witness [that none of you can say when your punishment comes that you were not forewarned], the Lord from His holy temple. For, behold, the Lord is coming forth from His place [in heaven], He is coming down to tread upon the high places of the earth [and destroy the fortified heights]. And the mountains will be molten under him. [This imagery from earthquakes and volcanic agency describes the terrors that will attend Jesus' coming in judgment. Neither men of high degree, as the mountains, nor men of low degree, as the valleys, can secure themselves or their land from the judgments of God]. And the valleys shall be cleft like wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place. [For as wax melts by fire, so will the mountains melt beneath His feet; as waters pouring down a hill are diffused abroad, so the valleys will cleave before Him]". nl833.htm

Russia's Euros-for-Oil Plan threatens Dollar's Reserve Currency Status

April 18, 2014 — Russian state-controlled oil producer Gazprom said its preliminary moves to sell gas for euros instead of dollars was moving forward. In e-mailed comments reported by Reuters, Gazprom chief Alexander Dyukov said that 95 percent of those under contract with the company were ready to make the switch.

Dyukov made sure to highlight that this move to sell oil for euros instead of dollars was simply Gazprom doing what was necessary to protect the company from potential US sanctions. It was not a policy set by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Regardless, this latest effort by Gazprom may mark a seemingly slight but significant change in Moscow's recent assault on the US dollar's reserve currency status . . .

zero dollarEarlier this month, Andrei Kostin, president and chairman of the powerful Russian VTBBank, said that much of Russia's oil industry was ready to switch from the dollar to the Russian ruble as payment for exports. He said that Russia's biggest oil producer, Rosneft, as well as the state-owned defense company, Rosoboronexport, were among those companies willing to boycott the dollar. Reuters reported that three oil importers from China and Japan said they had been asked by Gazprom to pay for the oil in other currencies than the dollar. Two said they were still considering the proposal. The third said it had paid in euros in the past and did not see doing it again as a problem.

"It is time to change the entire international financial system that considers the dollar the key reserve currency," Kostin told Platts. "The world has changed. [China's] yuan and [the Russian] rouble have to take their place in international transactions," he added . . .

Europe also appreciates the carrot. European interests have been working for years to internationalize the euro and expand its reserve currency status. However, the euro's share of global reserves dropped sharply after the Greece crisis even though it has now recovered for three consecutive quarters.

If even a portion of Russia's oil transactions were consistently priced in euros, it would be a massive boost to the euro at the dollar's expense.

Russia appears to be dangling reserve currency status in front of the European financial powers. Will Frankfurt and Brussels make a deal with Putin? The Bible says they will, so don't expect a huge response by Europe to confront Putin. Instead, expect Russia and Germany to work out their differences while dividing up Europe in the process . . . [Daniel 2:43] Full story: thetrumpet.com

Comment: It appears that the geopolitical chessboard might have America the big loser when the petrodollar no longer rules. Russian President Putin is currently seeking to set the precedent to trade in roubles. As America's chief creditor, China along with Russia is leading the revolt to overthrow the US dollar as the standard international currency. Europe usually gives into US demands but needs Russia's natural gas piped in more than it does America's war with Russia. Obama's latest war drumming rhetoric and negative sanctions simply may not stick. The US government's long history of violating others' human rights justified by its own inflated sense of entitlement and exceptionalism appears to be rapidly catching up, and soon American citizens may be joining the rest of the world paying a very heavy price for the sins of its leaders.


Mass Marketing Campaign for World War III

April 16, 2014 — The establishment has begun a new mass marketing campaign for World War III, equating Vladimir Putin with Adolf Hitler.

The fact that the current crisis in Ukraine was instigated by a US-backed coup which toppled a democratically elected government has been conveniently forgotten. Full story: youtube.com

Comment: While there can be no comparison between Adolf Hitler and Barak Obama, Hitler being a patriot who raised his nation from the Great Depression to the highest standard of living of any nation while seven million starved to death in the impoverished and unemployed USA. Hitler retrieved Germany from the clutches of Jews who invaded from the east and set up the illegitimate Weimar Republic whereas Obama is himself a Jew, an alien groomed as the puppet who will lead America into the coming depression that will be worse than the Great Depression and destroy national harmony.

Like Hitler Vladimir Putin is a patriot engaged in reviving Russia after a century of murderous Jewish tyranny including the bloody slaughter of over 66 million Russians.

SolzhenitsynRussia was conquered by Huns from Khazaria, now Ukraine. They originated in Lower Mongolia and converted to Talmudic Jewry in AD740; now known as Ashkenazim, Khazars, Jews or Israelis. Russia conquered Kiev and later Itil, but Khazaria survived until the middle of the twelfth or thirteenth century. Khazar Jews fought a further 1,000 years from without and within Russia until 1915, when financed by their Wall Street kinsmen; they invaded from the East Side of New York City and conquered Russia. With their motto 'never forgive, never forget' they took revenge for the Tsar's support for Abraham Lincoln and his refusal to allow a privately-owned Rothschild central banking system; they brutally murdered the Romanovs then slaughtered or starved 66 million Russians with venom such that the murderers had to wade through rivers of blood.

The present situation in the Ukraine contrived and funded by Jewry through their US puppet state indicates that a strategy for the reconquest and re-communization of Russia is in effect and that the 'never forgive, never forget' "enmity" God put in hearts of these sons of Cain against the sons of Adam is such that they will eventually unleash their "Samson Option" resulting in the annihilation of Vatican City State, continental United States, and the consummation of life as prophesied by Ezekiel, Daniel and Jesus Messiah.

Having expelled the Jew's Weimar Republic, Germany stood before the conquest of Europe by Judaeo-Communist Russia and the Talmud's objective of global hegemony. So in World War II Hitler found himself in a pincer movement flanked by Judaeo Russia on the East and the otherwise surrounded by 'Allies' of the colonies of the Jews' City of London. Despite this, Germany was victorious until the United States colony entered the war, but prior to his election to the presidency Jewish Traitor FD Roosevelt had been preparing America for war. History is planned. (See The Thirteenth Tribe).

The lives of Adolf Hitler and the German people were sacrificed to preserve the world from Lucifer's Judaeo-Communist and Judaeo-Roman totalitarian one world government for a lifespan.


New Madrid Fault and Other Things

William Branham

April 13, 2014 — I have been watching that sinkhole in Jefferson parish (county) Louisiana for more than a year. The United States government in its infinite wisdom has stored 18.8 million barrels of butane and propane in salt caverns adjacent to a cavern used to store nuclear waste. Methane and Hydrogen Sulfide are naturally filling up nearby salt caverns. The combination of butane, propane, Hydrogen Sulfide and nuclear waste are all a Hollywood script writer would need for a dirty bomb. This is an area where a sinkhole is swallowing up trees into its ever expanding lake.

Louisiana is on the Mississippi river and is directly south of the New Madrid fault zone. Historically, America's largest series of quakes were the four on the New Madrid fault that occurred in the nine weeks from December 16, 1811 to February 7, 1812. Two of those quakes reversed the flow of the Mississippi river. The Mississippi is the fourth longest river in the world . . .

The New Madrid fault zone is in the center of the US so earthquakes in that area could disrupt water, natural gas, and sewer and oil lines in addition to the electrical power grid.

The US has 2 nuclear power plants near fault lines in California and 11 near the New Madrid zone. Full story: therebel.org

Comment: "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" (William Branham, p. 25:145).


Former Australian Foreign Minister confirms Israel Lobby Controls Australia's Foreign Policy

March 14, 2014 — In my series of extended essays entitled "The War on White Australia" I described how Jewish activism was pivotal in ending the White Australia policy and initiating the mass non-White immigration that is rapidly transforming that nation. In addition, I showed how Jewish activism was instrumental in establishing multiculturalism as the ideological and legislative basis for social policy in Australia. Recently I explored the Jewish role in pushing for the enactment and extension of laws banning speech deemed contrary to their interests. Given the profound impact of Jewish ethno-politics on the Australian nation, nobody will be surprised to learn that Jewish influence also extends to the determination of Australia's foreign policy.

Israel over AustraliaFormer Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr recently confirmed that this is indeed the case, observing that Australia's foreign policy (particularly with regard to the Middle East) was being virtually dictated by organized Jewry. Carr, Australia's Labor Party foreign minister from March 2012 to September 2013, made his comments while promoting his new book "Bob Carr: Diary of a Foreign Minister." Speaking to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Carr hit out at the "pro-Israel lobby in Melbourne," saying it wielded "extraordinary influence" on Australia's foreign policy during his time in Julia Gillard's cabinet. As The Guardian reported:

Asked about the comments by the ABC's 7.30 he said: "Certainly they enjoyed extraordinary influence. I had to resist it and my book tells the story of that resistance. . . It needs to be highlighted because I think it reached a very unhealthy level."

Asked how the lobby achieved this influence he said: "I think party donations and a program of giving trips to MPs and journalists to Israel. But that's not to condemn them. I mean, other interest groups do the same thing. But it needs to be highlighted because I think it reached a very unhealthy level.

Following Carr's comments The Jerusalem Post sourly noted that: "John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, who wrote a 2007 book alleging that the 'Israel lobby' has a stranglehold on US Foreign policy, have an Australian cousin: former foreign minister Bob Carr."

In his book Carr chronicles a bitter political fight in late 2012 with then-prime minister Julia Gillard over how Australia would vote in the 2012 UN General Assembly vote to recognize the Palestinians as a non-member state.

Gillard [was] opposed, while her political rival at the time Kevin Rudd, and Carr himself, were in favor. Rudd, according to a report of the book in The Guardian, went to Carr to talk about the vote.

"How much of this is about money, I asked him," Carr wrote. "He said about one-fifth of the money he had raised in the 2007 election campaign had come from the Jewish community."

Carr concluded that "subcontracting our foreign policy to party donors is what this involves. Or appears to involve."

As in the United States (where Jews contribute much larger percentages of money in federal elections), Jewish money exerts a dominating influence over Australian politics, which practically guarantees that both sides of politics are willing to put the Australian Defense Forces (and Australian taxpayers) to the service of an ethno-nationalist state in which Australia has no economic or strategic interest. Jewish academic and activist Dan Goldberg notes that: "The annual report of the Australian Electoral Commission always includes Jewish names and Jewish-owned companies donating large sums to both sides of politics."

Comment: See how heavily the spirit of Laodicea weighs down Australia.

Harry Reid behind BLM Land Grab of Bundy Ranch

April 11, 2014 — The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), whose director was Sen. Harry Reid's (D-Nev) former senior adviser, has purged documents from its web site stating that the agency wants Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy's cattle off of the land his family has worked for over 140 years in order to make way for solar panel power stations.

"In 2012, the BLM and the US Department of Energy . . . Final Solar Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement assessed the impact of utility-scale solar energy development on public lands in the six southwestern states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah" . . . "[Reid] and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant, ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant in the southern Nevada desert," he wrote. "Reid has been one of the project's most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada" . . .

The BLM's official reason for encircling the Bundy family with sniper teams and helicopters was to protect the endangered desert tortoise, which the agency has previously been killing in mass due to "budget constraints" . . . "Reid is accused of using the new BLM chief as a puppet to control Nevada land (already over 84% of which is owned by the federal government) and pay back special interests. BLM has proven that they've a situational concern for the desert tortoise as they've had no problem waiving their rules concerning wind or solar power development. Clearly these developments have vastly affected a tortoise habitat more than a century-old, quasi-homesteading grazing area. . ." Full story: infowars.com

Comment: Further to last week's report, we see corruption in privileged places. Mainstream Media lies about Federal Standoff. The Bundy affair is the tip of the iceberg to what's coming. New rules of engagement. Divide and conquer. As prophesied, race war is on the cards for the USA. This is the "squeeze," en route to you, Christian.


A Day of His Presence


Revelation 12:1, "A great portent appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars".

Joel 2:30-31, "I will show portents in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come".

These scriptures refer to the beginning and ending of the Gentile dispensation, the ingathering of Christ's Bride of all Ages, followed by the birth of Israel through revelation in a day of His Presence in Jerusalem and Zion, and the judgment of Israel's enemies.

In Revelation 12:1-7, "A great portent appeared in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars: she was with child and cried out in the anguish of her delivery." This woman represents the primitive Church that has crossed over from the Law into the glorious Light of the S_O_N which the moon had foreshadowed as a schoolmaster to bring the Israelites to Christ that they might be justified by faith" (Galatians 3:23-25). The twelve stars upon her head signified the twelve apostles (Matthew 19:28).

"Then another portent appeared in heaven; a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads. [The dragon is Satan working behind Imperial Rome because the crowns are on the heads of her seven deified Emperors]. And his tail [or the Talmudic tale "which makes the Word of God of none effect" (Matthew 15:3, 9) deceived and] drew [Israelites] the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered for to devour her child as soon as it was born. [This was Herod the Great, the Edomite King of the Roman province of Judea, who sought to kill Jesus, the baby son of David and rival to the throne]. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up [from the Mount of Olives] to God, and to His throne. And the woman [or New Testament Church] fled into the wilderness [before Rome's General Titus besieged Jerusalem (Matthew 24:1-3a, 15-22)], where God has a retreat prepared for her [in Pella of Jordan] that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days."

We must understand that these six verses between Revelation 11:19 and 12:7 are a parenthesis describing the birth of the Church and its transition from Law to grace. Revelation 11:1-19 will take place two thousand years later in "a day of His Presence" following Revelation 12:7. "And [at the close of the Gentile dispensation] there was war in heaven: Michael [who is Christ] and His angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels".

Whereas man strives for unity by employing education, psychology, political persuasion and military force to organize men into nations, denominations, tribes and unions, which is a Babel of vain confusion, God never changes His mind about His Word, and although the righteous line has almost expired physically and spiritually, He will find, woo and win that last elect despite their situation, and draw them by grace through faith to conform to the likeness of His only begotten Son without condemnation in His Presence.

Jewish Prime Minister of (then) Great Britain, Benjamin Disraeli, rightly stated "all is race; there is no other truth, and every race must fall which carelessly suffers its blood to become mixed" (Tancred, p. 106). Disraeli would never have mandated the genocide of Adam's race by miscegenation under the euphemism 'multiculturalism'—forced upon us "as it was in the days of Noah" by those God set at enmity with the seed of the first and also the last Adam (Genesis 1:1; 3:15; 6:1-4; Matthew 24:37).

"No man will treat with indifference the principle of race. It is the key to history, and why history is often so confused is that it has been written by men who are ignorant of this principle and all the knowledge it involves. . . Language and religion do not make a race—there is only one thing which makes a race, and that is blood(Benjamin Disraeli, Endymion p. 249-250).


What a rebuke to apostate churchmen and politicians of today who promote what is accursed of God in order to assuage imposters at enmity with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. As typed after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden God will only meet the sons of the first Adam as brothers under the Blood of their KINSMAN Redeemer, the last Adam. When we meet Him in a second birth by grace through faith in the "present Truth—what Jesus is doing now" we become His Blood Brothers and Sisters (II Peter 1:12; Galatians 3:26-29). Jesus Messiah cannot redeem the impersonators of Cain's accursed race with whom He has no kinship (Genesis 4:11-16).

In Joel 2:28 God said, "It shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men will dream dreams and your young men shall see visions. And also upon the slaves and handmaids in those days I will pour out My Spirit" (Galatians 3:28).

May I remind you that in his important Message, "Sirs, is this the Time," three months before the revelation of the Seven Seals that six of the Brethren attending that service shared spiritual dreams concerning the Seals, and Brother Branham recounted a vision the Lord had shown him the previous Saturday week that tied them all together, a shadow of the six written Seals interpreted by the seventh unwritten Seventh Seal. Brother Branham recounts this experience in 1965 in his Message "And Knoweth it Not".

Here the word "prophesy" does not so much imply the prediction of future events but to declare the revelations of God, and each elect will be the medium through which the revelation is shared. Bearing in mind this refers to Christ's end-time Bride "after" Brother Branham's ministry has "restored all things . . . and finished the mystery of God" this is precisely what the heavenly Voice commanded us after we take the Book from Christ and become one in the faith. Revelation 10:8-11, "You must prophesy again [or share the revelation] before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings".

Just last week a Sister wrote on preaching to her husband. I replied, this is not permissible, however you may 'testify' for as Brother Branham said, "Just as soon as the candle's lit, go tell everybody how you got your candle lit. And maybe they'll get lit off of you. See?" Joel 2:28, Acts 2:17 and Revelation 10:8-11 are three witnesses of the Scripture.

If you compare Joel 2:29 with Acts 2:18 you will note that whereas Joel said "the slaves and the handmaids," the Hebrews who interpreted the Greek Septuagint between 285 and 247BC from which Peter was reading could not comprehend how slaves could possibly partake of the same Holy Spirit as freemen and Israelites, so they made them "God's" slaves and "God's" handmaids. However under the New Testament socio-economic distinctions between the saints are abolished and we are Brothers and Sisters in Adam's race with equal eternal Life.

"Afterward" refers to the promise of the "former rain" of the Holy Spirit in verse 23 that began to be poured out upon all flesh from the fiftieth day of the Feast of Pentecost; Jesus called this "the promise of the Father" (Luke 24:49). It refers to "the last days" or two thousand years of the Messianic Age of reconciliation and redemption that will be concluded with the outpouring of a former (or "teaching") rain upon Israelites in the Land of the Covenant through the ministry of the two Hebrew witnesses, and a latter (or "harvest") rain upon us for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation, commencing in the month Nisan.

When the Promise of the Father was brought to Israel in "the last days," she was so bound with denominational chains she could not receive the revelation although God manifested and vindicated His promise publicly. Romans 11:7-10, "Israel has failed to obtain what it sought; the elect obtained it but the rest were hardened. As it is written, God has given them the spirit of stupidity—eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear, to this very day in 2014. [Like Isaiah 29:10] David said, "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumblingblock and a retribution to them: let their eyes be darkened, so they cannot see, and bend their backs forever" (Romans 11:7-10; Psalm 69:22-23).

Isaiah 28:8-13, "For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so there is no place clean. [As it is today when the table of the Lord is contaminated with old manna and denominational fables, and smokers, drinkers and people who steal and lie take the Lord's Supper]. Who does Isaiah think he is to speak with us like this? To whom will he explain the Message? Are we babies just weaned from the milk, just drawn from the breasts and barely old enough to talk? He repeats everything over and over again, one line at a time, and in such simple words!" [Like the Hebrews in Paul's day Hebrews 5:12 – 6:3 and many in the circle of this Message today. Last week we contacted 4,500 denominational ministers, not one of whom was even curious about the Message and our eYearbooks. I expect their attitude was "Who are these upstarts and by what authority do they approach us seeing they have no part in the world church system?" Even so the incarnate Word is made manifest amongst His people again in "greater [more] works," and denominational headquarters do not want to know.

"For with stammering lips and other tongues will the Lord speak to this people [as He has over 2,000 years]. To whom He said, This is the rest you shall give to the weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear" (Isaiah 11:10; 30:15; Matthew 11:28-29). "So He will spell out His Word again, repeating it over and over in simplicity whenever He can; yet they will stumble and fall backward over His simple, straightforward Message, and be broken, snared, and taken".

As the natural rain falls upon the wheat and the tares without distinction the great abundance of this heavenly gift will fall upon "all flesh," just and unjust to (Gk.) 'phaneroo' manifestly declare the nature of the seed in the soul (Matthew 5:45; Luke 8:11; Hebrews 6:7-9) as Daniel and Jesus foretold: "Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand" (Daniel 12:10). This latter outpouring will take place in the Day of the Lord from the close of the Gentile dispensation. "Then he that is unjust will remain unjust: and he who is filthy will continue as he is, and he that is righteous and he that is holy will continue in righteousness and holiness" (Revelation 22:11).

baptism June 11, 1933Eight hundred years before His advent the Lord spoke through Joel concerning the Church and the 144,000 elect Israelites in the very end of "the last days." When Brother Branham was baptizing in the Ohio River in July 11, 1933 the Pillar of Fire manifest over him in the form of a star and a Voice said, "As John the Baptist foreran My first Coming, your Message will forerun My second Coming." His ministry was to restore Christ's end-time Bride to the faith of our apostolic fathers, and reveal the mystery of the voices of the Seven Thunders or fullness of the Messages of the seven angels to the Church Ages which is the mystery of the unwritten Seventh Seal that delivered the fullness of the Word which is Christ (Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11; Revelation 10:7). Hence His second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming was through the mouth of His Prophet (I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 10:1-4). Christ is present with and in His end-time Bride as He could not be with the Church Age saints including Brother Branham, until the Seals were broken. And the revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form—not the glorified Jesus of Nazareth whose precious feet will not touch this earth until the millennium. That will be His second return in the office Son of David with the glorified saints of all Ages, a physical or (Gk.) 'erchomai' Coming.

In Joel 2:25 we read, "I will restore to you [make good or replace] the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you".

fopur horses of the ApocalypseFor images aligned with right margin: The devastation wrought by the four phases in the life of this insect are an allegory that illustrates Satan's destructive actions against Christ's Church as he rode the four horses of the apocalypse through the first Four Seals of Redemption to devour Christ's Bride Tree, the second Eve, the Church, transforming himself from the antichrist spirit after Pentecost to his incarnation in the last pope, "that man of sin, the son of perdition" in Daniel's Seventieth Week (II Thessalonians 2:3; Daniel 7:20-25). Beginning in Rome on its white horse the 'palmerworm' usurped spiritual power through nicolaitanism and set a clerical hierarchy between God and the laity "which Jesus hates;" becoming pope he received a triple crown signifying dominion over heaven, earth and 'purgatory' (Revelation 2:6; 16). As the palmerworm he devoured the fruit, brotherly love, and substituted dogma for God's Word which is Balaamism. At the First Nicaea Council in AD325 where church and state were united and Satan's Judaeo-Roman Catholic church was organized he substituted a trinity of gods for the One Person of God, and baptism in three Titles for baptism in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 2:1-17; 6:1-2).

Riding his red horse under the Second Seal he took peace from earth, and as the swarming locust devours the leaves or joy of fellowship he martyred scores of millions of Christians who refused his mark of the beast, the Babylonian trinity. Almost a thousand years of ignorance produced the Dark Ages in England, Europe and North Africa in the Thyatira Church Age, 606-1520 (Revelation 2:18-29; 6:3-4). Under this Seal Satan garnered political power and the Holy Roman Empire (962-1806) was established.

Satan changed to his black horse for the Third Seal and as the Cankerworm (or crawling locust) he devoured the bark, selling indulgences for the forgiveness of future sins after the pattern of the Jews' Kol Nidre Vow and gathered demonic power. The Reformation of the Roman Catholic system of false worship commenced under this Seal and the Lord anointed Martin Luther to reveal the foundation of the faith—justification by grace through faith—which awakened the world to the truth of God's Word in the Sardis Church Age, 1520-1750 (Revelation 3:1-6; 6:5-6). Next John Wesley, the angel to the Philadelphian Church Age (1750-1906) added scriptural holiness or sanctification (Revelation 3:7-13).

Under the Fourth Seal Satan changed to his pale coloured horse. "[The second] death and hell follow with him." En route to perdition he will incarnate that man of sin and rule the world. This was the Laodicea Church Age (1906-1963) in which the gifts of the Spirit were rediscovered; ending in apostasy, it put Christ out from its conventicles when it rejected the revelation of the Seven Seals which is Christ the fullness of the Word (John 1:1, 14; I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 3:17-22; 6:7-8). This Seal also encompasses the Bride Age or holy convocation of the fiftieth day of the antitype of Israel's Pentecostal Feast. As the 'caterpillar' Satan sucked the life out of the Bride tree leaving just the stump, but Joel had prophesied that God would even restore the root and gather together all of those predestinated from the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:10). "Whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified" (Romans 8:30).

To Israel also this nation of locusts is the fourth beast of Daniel 7, healed of her mortal wound by transformation to Papal Rome and standing upon the sand of the sea signifying her oppression of Israel and expressing the nature of the previous three beasts (Genesis 22:17; 32:12; Romans 9:27; Revelation 13:1-10). Here the Seven Trumpet judgments upon Israel struck throughout the Gentile dispensation by God's "great army" come into view, typed by the plague of locusts that "laid waste God's vine and barked His fig tree, leaving its trunk and branches white and bare" and all other trees [or nations] "withered." The vine and fig tree represent Israel, as the olive tree on Roman coins signified Judaea which that locust nation attacked in four stages as the Palmerworm (or chewing locust), the (swarming) Locust, the Cankerworm (or crawling locust), and the Caterpillar (or consuming locust). However Rome united with Jewry for the crucifixion of Messiah, and according to Romans 11 it was in this stage that the elect Israelites were baptized into Christ while those apostate branches of the olive tree were broken off for the burning and the elect Gentiles were grafted into the root of the same tree.

Through the "teaching rain" delivered by Brother Branham, the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and the seventh angel of Revelation 10:7, Jesus has "restored" all of the revelation perverted, lost and devoured by Rome. When our "harvest rain" begins to fall Israel's "teaching rain" will also fall, and after the first resurrection and translation the two Israelite prophets of Zechariah 4, Matthew 17:1-8; 24:31 and Revelation 11 will bring "the Law of Moses . . . with the statutes and judgment" to the remembrance of 144,000 elect Israelites (Malachi 4:4), exposing the wickedness of its antithesis, the Babylonian Talmud "that makes the Word of God of none effect" (Matthew 15:3, 9), by this means and from selfish motives the Pharisees, priests and Levites deceived the Judeans, causing them to reject and murder their Messiah (Matthew 27:25; John 11:47-53). Israel's end-time Prophets will be anointed with the Spirit that endued Moses and Elijah and after rehearsing Moses' Law they will expound the Seven Trumpet Judgments by placing the past two thousand years of the nation's history in context with scriptural types and unfolding the words of the prophets. Hereby they will "restore all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began" (Acts 3:21), which is Christ, the fullness of the Word.

After Rome breaks her covenant with the Jewish banksters and begins to force the mark of the beast, Israel's prophets will be assassinated, "and their dead bodies will lie in the streets of Jerusalem that is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt where their Lord was crucified. And men from the peoples and kindreds and tongues and nations will gaze at their dead bodies for three and a half days and refuse to let them be entombed. And those that dwell upon the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment [by plaguing their enemies as Moses plagued the Pharaoh who knew not Joseph and as Elijah mocked and slew Jezebel's priests of Baal. And those in Zion and in Jerusalem will escape as those in Goshen were spared]. And after three and a half days the Spirit of eternal Life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who saw them. The two heard a loud Voice calling to them from heaven saying, "Come up here." And they ascended in a cloud up to heaven in the sight of their enemies" (Revelation 11:8-12).

Now we come to some revealing Scriptures. Joel 2:30-32, "And I will show portents in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call" (Romans 8:28-30; I Peter 1:2; Revelation 7:3-8).

We are all familiar with Acts 2:19-20 where Peter quoted these verses on the Day of Pentecost. In Matthew 3:11-12 John the Baptist said that Jesus Messiah "shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with Fire: whose [winnowing] fan is in His hand [to separate the wheat from the chaff], and He will thoroughly purge His floor [the judgment seat of this earth], and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

Joel, John the Baptist and Peter were speaking of two Comings of the Spirit two thousand years apart; a "former rain" and a "latter rain", one in grace and one in judgment. When you hear, recognize and act upon the Word for your day this revelation is God's Holy Fire that purges past sin from your soul. Sin is unbelief in God's revealed Word, and you cannot be a sinner and a believer. He who rejects the revealed Word of the hour has rejected the baptism with the Holy Ghost and is condemned (Isaiah 10:17; Titus 3:10-11; Hebrews 6:4-8). The Day of the Lord will come upon him as a thief. "Demonic spirits [are right now] working miracles . . . gathering them to Armageddon and the battle of that great Day of God Almighty" (Revelation 16:14-16).

The day of Calvary saw "Portents in the heavens above" when the darkness of God's wrath upon Israel for crucifying their Messiah covered all the land of guilty Israel from noon until 3.00pm (Matthew 27:25, 45-46) and the earth quaked. God ceased dealing with that nation, and on the fiftieth day of Pentecost He extended grace to "whomsoever will" of Adam's race and sounded Israel's First Trumpet: "blood, fire, and vapors of smoke" filled the city when "God's great Army" under Roman General Titus breached the walls and the light of the moon became red as blood when it fell upon the pools of blood in the streets.

God vindicated the Words of Joel, John the Baptist and Peter as His own. Brother Branham said the Jews and even genuine Israelites "laughed and made fun of it, and they went to judgment [Matthew 12:32]; and the city was burned, and they eat one anothers' children [Leviticus 26:29; Deuteronomy 28:53, 57; Jeremiah 19:9; Lamentations 2:20]. And today they're a scattered people throughout all the world, showing the Holy Spirit still remains the Word of God to bring this Word to make it live" (The Indictment, p. 24:165-166).

Here in 1963 Brother Branham said the Israelites are "scattered throughout the world" contrary to the presumption of most in the circle of this Message who believe they have returned to Israel since 1948. However "for fear of the Jews" who occupy Israel they will not return until the start of Daniel's Seventieth Week after Israel has been utterly defeated, forever disarmed, and there has been a mass exodus of Edomite and Khazar self-styled Jews (Psalm 17:7; Isaiah 6:10-13; 11:11-16; 13:14; 27:12-13; 49:17; 65:9-10; Jeremiah 3:12, 18; 16:15; 23:3, 8; 31:8; Ezekiel 28:24-31; 36:24; 37:14-22; 39:27-28; Joel 3:1; Hosea 6:1-3; Micah 5:3; Zechariah 10:9-12; Matthew 24:29-31, etc).

The Gentile dispensation will close after the second crucifixion at the blast of Israel's Seventh Trumpet—without interval between the "portents in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke" and "the great and dreadful Day of the Lord." These signs of God's wrath at the end of the Gentile dispensation will manifest in a planetary convulsion (Hebrews 12:26) as the whole earth is thrown from its axis at the sinking of Los Angeles and a 1,500 x 300 - 400 mile segment of earth's crust, sends tidal waves around the world, igniting volcanoes, sinking mountains and islands, cleaving the Mount of Olives, and igniting the brief 'hot stage' of World War III that will see both Israel and the United States defeated and briefly occupied. The sun will be turned into darkness, volcanic activity on the moon will turn it to blood, the stars will be obscured, and Satan and his host will be cast down to earth.

This will be "the day of vengeance of our God [proclaimed by Brother Branham's ministry]; to comfort all [144,000 elect Israelites] that mourn; to grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn their atonement in Zion, to give them a laurel wreath of overcoming victory and the oil of joy instead of ashes of mourning, and clothe them with the spirit of praise instead of a heavy, burdened and failing spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness planted by the Lord to His own glory" (Isaiah 61:2-3; Zechariah 12:8 – 13:9).

Amos 8:8-14 describes earthquakes in the United States and in Israel that will throw earth from its axis in the Day of the Lord, causing "the sun to go down at noon, and darken the [whole] earth in the clear day" as the land of the Covenant was darkened at the first crucifixion. It mentions Israel's mourning and also speaks of "the famine for hearing the Words of the Lord" that commenced in 1963 at the close of the Laodicean Church Age and has cursed Israel for 2,000 years (II Timothy 4:3-4; Revelation 3:17-20). Ezekiel 32:7 describes these heavenly portents preceding a theophanic Cloud (Heb.) 'anan' over the Mount of Olives on earth, while Matthew 24:29-31, Mark 13:24-31 and Luke 21:25-28 mention in addition Israel's Seventh Trumpet and the anointing of the two witnesses after the close of our dispensation and grace.

I see this phenomena as identical with "pillars of [the] smoke" of God's wrath in Joel 2:30 announcing the Day of the Lord which Peter calls a "vapour of smoke" in Acts 2:19 (as in Revelation 15:8), and with the Pillar of Cloud in Zechariah 14:5, Acts 1:11 and Revelation 1:7 signifying Christ placing judgment on the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 4:6-14) at His second or 'parousia' Coming to Israel and the casting down of Satan in Revelation 12:7. These Scriptures as well as Isaiah 29:6 and Revelation 16:18-19 show clearly that the earthquakes in the United States and in Israel will be coincidental.

Brother Branham said, "There'll be a ministry that'll show great wonders (Joel said so), but there'll be no time for redemption. It's all over. The Lamb's done took His Book, and redeemed is over. As Jesus first preached and was rejected and then went and haunted those that were in there, preached to them that were in prison and could not repent, no time for salvation, that same ministry will have to repeat again. What if that could be the Third Pull to the eternal lost? . . . But remember . . . The Bride is sealed in with Christ. The last member has been redeemed. Sixth Seal has produced itself [or been revealed]. The Seventh Seal brings Him back to earth [in W_O_R_D form]. The Lamb come and took the Book out of the right hand of Him and set down and claimed what He owned, what He had redeemed [Revelation 5:5-8]. That right? It's always been that Third Pull. . . Oh think, people could go right on preaching, thinking they're getting saved, believing they're doing right, believing their organizations are growing (Sure.), and not even a ray of hope. . . we have come to that hour. Door's closed, gone. Already the Book is in His hand. Think of it" (Souls that are in Prison Now, p. 31:206, 347-349).

Right now the "squeeze" is being applied to the general public. When they squeal loud enough the political, social, business and religious establishment will look for a weak minority on which to redirect the energy of their anger, and that will be you my Christian Brother and Sister.

Joel 2:32 states that "it shall come to pass, that all who call on the Name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call." Only those to whom the Lord is revealed can call upon Him in worship, "For without faith it is impossible to please Him" (Hebrews 11:6), and at this time He will be revealing Himself exclusively to 144,000 elect Israelites of the blood of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Land of the Covenant (Revelation 7:3-8), not non-Semitic self-styled Jews because Obadiah 17-18 states "there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau." Deliverance will be in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem because this was the place where every adult male Israelite was required to assemble before the Lord three times in each year. Here the Lord provided Abraham with a lamb when he was about to slay and offer his Son Isaac; here Solomon built God's Temple and the blood of the typical lamb, and of the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world was shed and offered. Deuteronomy 16:5-6, "You must not sacrifice the Passover in any of your local towns, which the Lord your God will be giving you: but at the place which the Lord your God will choose as the dwelling place of His Name, there you will sacrifice the Passover at sundown, at the time of your exodus from Egypt." Here God dwelt enthroned in His sanctuary with His people, and where His Name is known, and like Goshen in Egypt, Zion and Jerusalem will be the only place free from the plagues spoken by the 'third pull' of Israel's two witnesses. These are not to be confused with the plagues of the Seven Trumpets, five of which are fulfilled and we live in the time of the Sixth Trumpet waiting for the Seventh.

We have been speaking of a day of the Presence or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming the Son of man to Israel through dreams and visions, the unrecognized sign of the Cloud on the Mount of Olives, and the ministry of Israel's two witnesses in the Day of the Lord. The manifestation of these things and the actual coming of the Day of the Lord are described in chapter 3. nl832.htm
