US Threatens Pakistan as Part of New Afghan War Drive

August 24, 2017 — US government officials have begun to spell out the meaning of Trump's threat to punish Pakistan if it does not suppress Afghan insurgents operating from its border regions. These punishments include not just cuts to aid and payments for services rendered in fighting the Afghan war, but also encouraging India, Pakistan's arch-rival, to play a larger role in Afghanistan, and a more pro-Indian stance on the seven-decade-old Kashmir dispute . . . Rattled by Washington's threats, Islamabad has turned to Beijing for support, further heightening tensions in a region where India and China are engaged in their most serious border stand-off since their 1962 border war, and Indian and Pakistani troops routinely exchange fatal artillery barrages across the Line of Control that separates Indian- and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir . . . Trump's cabal of generals . . . accuse Islamabad of playing a "double game" . . . It was the CIA that instructed the Pakistani ISI in the use of Islamist militia as proxy forces. At America's behest, Islamabad helped organize and train the Mujihadeen who were used to draw the Soviet Union into the Afghan civil war, then to bleed it militarily for the next decade . . .

Comment: The US recruits, trains, pays, feeds, arms and directs Islamic terrorists from the Caucasus, China, the Middle East, Africa and Europe. India would stand to benefit greatly from doing what Pakistan has been going for years, namely understanding that the old alignments of the Cold War, including the idea of being non-aligned means something very different in 2017 than it did in 1970. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Pakistan's historically good relations with Russia and its refusal to follow US ally Saudi Arabia into an unnecessary conflict with Qatar and by extrapolation with Iran, demonstrates a far-sighted geo-strategic maturity that will ultimately benefit Pakistan greatly (orientalreview.org).

Pentagon sending 'Biological Bombs' against Europe?

Uncle Sam
August 21, 2017 — The media in Europe rarely mention the increasing outbreaks of dangerous diseases in Ukraine . . . the problem in that country has reached catastrophic proportions . . . a mysterious intestinal infection . . . 400 kids were hospitalized . . . within . . . 24-hour period . . . epidemic of swine flu, leading to SARS. . . avian-flu infections . . . an inexplicable epidemic of botulism (from eating contaminated fish, leading to muscle spasms, suffocation, and death) . . . It doesn't look like anyone in either Ukraine or Europe is investigating the sources of these infections . . . In August of 2005, the Ukrainian Ministry of Health and the US Department of Defense signed an "Agreement Concerning Cooperation in the Area of Prevention of Proliferation of Technology, Pathogens and Expertise That Could Be Used in the Development of Biological Weapons" . . . facilities financed by the US within the borders of the former Soviet Union are part of the expansion of Washington's global laboratory system (there are about 400 similar labs all over the world). The same kinds of problems are cropping up in many countries where such complexes have appeared.

Genocide: the Usual Suspect

December 13, 2016 — John Pilger interviews Julian Assange: "There's more than 1,700 emails out of the 33,000 Hillary Clinton emails we published—just about Libya. It's not about that Libya has cheap oil. She perceived the removal of Gaddafi and the overthrow of the Libyan state as something that she would use to run in the general election for president . . . So late 2011, there's an internal document called "The Libya Tick-Tock" produced for Hillary Clinton . . . a chronological description of how Hillary Clinton was the central figure in the destruction of the Libyan state. As a result, there was around 40,000 deaths within Libya. Jihadists moved in, Isis moved in. That led to the European refugee and migrant crisis . . . The Libyan state itself was . . . the cork in the bottle of Africa . . . economic problems, civil war in Africa; previously people fleeing those problems didn't end up in Europe—because Libya policed the Mediterranean . . .

Germany shamed before the World

Ursula Haverbeck
August 30, 2017 — Ursula Haverbeck tonight faces a prison cell where she is to serve two years jail. In Washington Occupied Germany (WOG) it is illegal to investigate and expose Holocaust fraud. Instead of being honoured for exposing a legal loophole through which tens of millions of Euros are siphoned out of Germany the 88-year old grandmother now faces a lonely cell death.

During an arraignment, as crooked as notorious Soviet eras show trials, media hacks submissively clapped the near nonagenarian's sentence. With breath-taking chutzpah, it was the grandmother, not the state that was charged with treason.

It is well to remember that the constitution and chancellorship of Occupied Germany are illegal under international law. The last legal chancellor was that of Karl Doenitz. Seized in 1945 by the Allied occupiers, the Grand-Admiral and Germany's elected legislators were seized, gaoled or hanged. Since then, WOG chancellors and politicians have first to be approved by Washington DC.

In occupied Germany, it is a criminal offense to query victors' propaganda even when the defendant's case is proven beyond all shadow of a doubt. Frau Haverbeck's lawyer argued that the sentence violated their client's freedom of expression and called for her to be acquitted. The court likened to a North Korean secret chamber, dismissed the appeal. Full story: europeansworldwide

Hitler's Jewish Soldiers

July 22, 2003 — Jewish author Bryan Mark Rigg's book is based on archival documents and personal interviews with people of Jewish descents who were actually in Nazi Germany . . . The following speech may change your entire views on World War II and Nazi Germany forever . . . as many as 150,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen of partial Jewish descent served in Adolf Hitler's forces . . .

Comment: Hitler never owed a wallet, bank account, and had no personal property. He refused to accept his salary as chancellor, returned same to the state. His earnings of millions from royalties on sales of his book "Mein Kampf" were in trust with the Eher Publishing in Munich, and the money was only used for buying art objects and to aid comrades in dire needs. He gifted the art objects to the state. His wife was a Jewess and his chauffer was Jewish. Still, some silly claims in the article.

Venezuelan Collapse? Wishful thinking? Caracas Oil deals with Russia & China

August 26, 2017 — Western banks are reported to have stopped issuing letters of credit to buyers of Venezuelan oil, let alone extend new credit, or postpone loans coming due for payment . . . If this development is allowed to continue, the chances of a Venezuelan (and Nigerian) oil production disruption diminish, and the argument for an oil price spike falters . . . in a worst-case scenario, Venezuela (and Nigeria) can, in desperation, dump oil on the markets and crash prices like never seen before.

Cannabis is taking over the World

According to the UN, there are 181 million cannabis users worldwide. A number that grows daily. Legal pot sales are up 328% since 2013 in the US. Canada, Bermuda, Uruaguay, France. Iceland, Nigeria, Zambia, Australia and New Zealand have legalised pot. Russia and China have more sense.

American Gulag where Trust and Truth have gone Extinct

By John Kaminski

August 25, 2017 — You don't hear anybody talking seriously about peace anymore. Back in the 1960s all the lefties talked about was peace. Now all the lefties talk about is killing the president. Something really bad has happened to them between then and now. Now, there is no one on the political left who dares to defend the disappearing rights of the ordinary citizen against that ubiquitous foreign power that controls every aspect of our existence.

More people are beginning to notice that America has crossed the line into insanity. US leaders openly murder foreign leaders of much higher moral character than themselves and blithely bomb women and children as a favour to the oil companies. Trust and truth have gone extinct as the fibers that hold civilization together begin to fray and unravel, sure signs of our imminent demise.

Deprived of its own volition by the Jews who own it, the USA is now the darkest force for evil in the world, obliterating all opposition (including its own citizens) as it attempts to rearrange the assembly of nations into a plantation it controls utterly and ruthlessly. [See Daniel 9:27 and Revelation 13:11-18]. American exceptionalism is a Jewish production used to bludgeon the world into submission.

Jewish billionaires hire unemployed proles to violently protest people who are at least trying to act on principle. And even the victims are victimized, having been betrayed by their leaders who are secretly working for the opposition.

What a mess! There is no trustworthy higher authority one can appeal to, no competent referee who can wedge the two sides apart and explain what's happening. There are only partisan voices—corrupt mainstream media which has merged with an occupying government always preaching for war. Disorganized peaceniks and other people of principle have no chance against the information drenching of the white noise machine.

We have devolved into a world of secret agents and unsuspecting victims. The freedoms we thought we had, it turns out, were just advertising slogans designed to get you to give up your most cherished information. Just like Facebook[=CIA, DARPA, NSA, etc].

It is only in a totalitarian tyranny that people get tortured. The saddest part of the Guantanamo prison tragedy is that the movers and shakers in the war against Islam knew all of those prisoners were innocent since the US braintrust created the original Al Qaeda terror corps by recruiting them in the same way that the Antifa thugs in Charlottesville were hired by George Soros to continue and accelerate the social destabilization of the USA. [Antifa, an anarchist-Communist front group, was created by the Comintern in the 1920s. It promoted Communist dictatorship in Germany on behalf of the Soviet Union and labelled all ideologies other than Communism 'fascism.' This is Bible prophecy coming to fruition under the Sixth Vial (Revelation 16:13-16)].

Nobody can ever lead America again without telling the truth about 9/11. And that will be the end of Jewish dominance . . .

• You can't trust your government. It constantly breaks its own laws that it pretends to enforce. Otherwise we could arrest Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for the premeditated murder of Muammar Qaddafi, perhaps the most decent leader the world has ever known, who created a country in which basically all his citizens lived for free with the cushion of oil revenue shared by everyone . . .

• You can't trust your doctor. They keep saying vaccines are safe and children keep dying . . .

• You can't trust your local cop! In fact . . .

• You can't trust your neighbourhood holy man. All religions exist only to perpetuate themselves and control their adherents . . .

Comment: As Brother Branham said "the world is going insane," and taught, "the world is falling apart" because the once Christian people, churches and nations are apostate and know it not (II Thessalonians 2:1-12; II Timothy 3:1 – 4:4; Revelation 3:17-20), having rejected the Absolute of God's revealed Word which is the 'glue' which holds creation together (Colossians 1:17).


The Restoration of the Bride Tree

Joel 1:1-4, "The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. Hear this, you elders, and listen, all inhabitants of the land. Has anything like this happened in your days, or in the days of your fathers? Tell your children about it, and let them tell their sons, and their sons the next generation. That which the palmerworm has left the locust has eaten; and what the locust has left the cankerworm has eaten; and that which the cankerworm has left the caterpiller has eaten".

Joel 2:25-26, "I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you. And you shall have plenty to eat and be satisfied, and praise the Name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you: and My people shall never be put to shame".

Genesis 20:6-7, "God spoke to Abimelech in a dream: Yes, I know that you have done this in the integrity of your heart; for I also kept you from sinning against Me: therefore I did not let you touch her. Now therefore restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die—you, and all who are yours".

God being sovereign has established laws to govern both the natural and spiritual realms. For instance there is the law of gravity, however the law of flight is able to overcome the law of gravity. There is the law of sin who's consequence is death, but the laws of repentance and resurrection through the law of the Life of Christ in us can overcome sin and death. With great confidence Job declared, "Though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh I shall see God" (Job 19:26).

Jesus made this outstanding statement "You will not leave my soul in hell; neither will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption" Jesus knew Who He was and His place in the Scripture (Psalm 16:10; John 2:19). He vindicated David's prophecy, raised and glorified His body within three days before it could begin to decompose, ascended, and with His own Blood cleansed the heavenly sanctuary of the accumulated sins of the Old Testament saints, then led them from captivity in death to captives of eternal Life in resurrected and glorified bodies (Matthew 27:52; Ephesians 4:8).

We must recognize who we are, know our position in God's Word, and rest in the holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal feast which is the jubilee of Christ's Bride of all Ages (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Corinthians 15:51-52). When we took the little Book out of Jesus' right hand and ate it up we became one with Him and His Word: and now that the law of eternal Life is in us we are in the threefold PROCESS of the 'rapture' described by Paul: all of Christ's promises to His Bride are ours to claim by letting go and letting God fulfil His Word.

Recently we have touched on Acts 3:21: "the restitution of all things that God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began." Restoration means to return to the original owner or bring back to a former condition or estate. We are being restored to the 'third pull' Adam possessed so that we may manifest that we are the Sons of God. All of God's laws, be they natural or spiritual, serve His divine purpose, and throughout the Book of Revelation John represents you and me as Christ's end-time Bride. So when the Voice from heaven said, "Go and take the little Book which is open in the hand of the Angel Who stands in judgment on the beast from the sea and her image, the beast from the earth, restraining their union over one world government until the Holy Spirit departs in the translation of we who are alive and remain," we took the Book, which is our right, from the hand of Christ our Husband (II Thessalonians 2:6-7; Revelation 10:8). If we know our rights the Holy Spirit will enforce His laws in our behalf for His glory.

Isaiah 53:5, "He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed." By grace through faith this twofold blessing of natural and spiritual healing is our right.

In Genesis 22:16-18 God told Abraham, "I have sworn by Myself . . . I will bless you beyond words, and will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies; and in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed; because you have obeyed My Voice".

Following the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah Abraham journeyed south east. In the Gaza strip his party encountered Abimalech, King of Gerar, who saw beautiful ninety year old Sarah in her renewed body and because Abraham said she was his sister, the King took her for his harem (Genesis 20). But no man could touch Sarah for she was a type of the free Church with the promise, and God spoke with the honourable king in a dream, commanding him to restore Abraham's wife. Had Sarah been known by another man she could not have borne the promised son, Isaac. Jesus is watching over His Wife.

God also intervened to ensure the integrity of the lineage of His promised Son Jesus, for Judah had married a Serpent's seed woman who bore him three sons. He took a wife named Tamar for Er his firstborn; but Er was wicked and God slew him. When Onan His second son deceitfully spilled his seed in Levirate marriage to Tamar his brother's widow, God slew him. When his third son Shelah was grown Tamar was not given him to wife, so when Judah's wife died Tamar removed her widow's garments and sat in an open place Judah would pass. He took her to be a harlot because she had covered her face, and in course of time Tamar bore twins.

Church Age Body of ChristAlthough physiologically difficult to imagine, "One put out his hand: and the midwife bound his wrist with a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. Then he withdrew his hand and his brother was born: the midwife exclaimed, How have you broken forth? this breach be upon you. Therefore his name was called Pharez; afterward his brother came out with the scarlet thread on his hand: and his name was called Zarah." Throughout the Bible we find twins: there was Cain and Abel, Esau and Jacob, Ephraim and Manasseh, Judas and Jesus, Israel and the Church, the false church and the true. The Church Ages and Laodicea were first, but Christ's end-time Bride came out from them and crossed the breach between the Church Ages and the Seals to form the Capstone of the Body (Matthew 19:30). The rule of primogeniture is voided once again. Neither Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Ephraim nor Pharez are recognized as the firstborn, yet God's promises are carried through them.

Pharez means 'breach' and is the elder through whom sprang the royal line of David (Genesis 38:29; Ruth 4:18-22; I Chronicles 27:3; Matthew 1:3). Zarah, Zerah, or Zara, means 'rise' or 'shine' (Genesis 38:30; Matthew 1:3). God promised Abraham the child of promise would be born of Sarah, not the bondwoman, and the 144,000 elect Israelites will be the seed of Jacob, not multicultural non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews. If God protected the course of the natural seed—how much more will He protect the spiritual Seed? "Fear not little flock, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. Nothing will be able to separate you from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ" (Romans 8:28-39).

There were two trees in the Garden of Eden: Satan, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and Christ, the Tree of Life; one was defiled, one was not. The Tree of Knowledge was put out at the east of the Garden of Eden whereas the Tree of Life is still in the Garden, spiritually speaking, because "God placed Cherubim and a flaming sword which turned in every direction, to guard the way to the Tree of Life" (Genesis 3:24). Under the Law the Most Holy Place was where the Ark of the Covenant, a type of Jesus Christ, stood in the Holy of Holies. Its acacia wood represented His humanity, its golden overlay within and without, His deity. Its contents: two unbroken tables of God's Word instruct us that a man in Christ will do his duty to God and to man (Matthew 4:4); the golden pot of manna represents the bread of Life from heaven providing Spiritual food in due season (Matthew 24:28; Luke 12:11; II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7), while Aaron's that budded signifies an elect soul regenerated will bring forth fruit overnight and bear the Life of Christ. The way into the place of God's Presence was guarded on the East by the Tribe of Judah (Issachar and Zedulon) representing the cherub with the face of a lion; on the West by Ephraim (Manasseh and Benjamin) representing the cherub with the face of an ox; on the South by Reuben (Simeon and Gad) representing the cherub with the face of a man; and on the North by Dan (Asher and Naphtali) representing the cherub with the face of a flying eagle. God never changes His ways, "a flaming sword turned every way, to guard the way to the Tree of Life".

Joel chapter 1 speaks of the natural Bride Tree God planted to bring forth fruit by His Word for His glory (Genesis 2:28). Eve failed to keep His Word and woman became the tree of death (Job 14:1-2), and the Law failed (Romans 8:2). Eve was taken from the side of the first Adam when God put him to sleep in the Garden of Eden. Made from his flesh and bone she was a continuation (Heb.) banah of the first Adam. Christ the Tree of Life died to bring forth the spiritual Bride Tree. We were taken from the side of the last Adam when God put Him to sleep on Calvary. His Wife, the Church, is made up of the Holy Spirit as the continuation of Christ the Word. Whereas the offspring of the first Adam is sexually born of woman and must die, the offspring of the last Adam is spiritually born by receiving the spoken of the hour received by faith from His Wife the restored Bride Tree.

John 6:48-51, "I am that bread of Life [which came down from God out of heaven]. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness and are dead, [blotted from the Book of Life and lost]. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat thereof and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven: if any one eats of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread I will give for the life of the world is My flesh".

As the natural types the spiritual the life must pass through the body; God's law of reproduction states that everything must bring forth of its kind. There is no evolution of species, and although applauded by apostate clergy and self-seeking politicians as multiculturalism, miscegenation is accursed of God. Intermarriage with Cain's race is genocide to Adam's race just as fellowship with unbelievers brings spiritual genocide (Amos 3:3; II Corinthians 6:14-18; Revelation 18:4). The Life of Christ, the spoken Word for the hour, must pass to "whomsoever will receive It" through His Body, His Wife. One cannot be born-again by denominational ministries impersonating the Word for a day gone by. They can multiply Anglicans, Presbyterians and Pentecostals but they cannot make "written epistles" of "the present Truth"—what Jesus is doing now (II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7).

Psalm 1:1-3, "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers. But his delight is in the Law of the Lord; and in His Law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted and irrigated by canals of water, which yields its fruit in its season, [dispensation or Church Age]; its leaf will not wither; and he prospers in whatever he does." This speaks of the Church, the Body of Christ, the Bride Tree growing "into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:13). This tree is irrigated by one Water, the Water of eternal Life feeding many channels. As illustrated in the preceding diagram the Body is composed of many members from nine dispensations, but we are all one Body under one Head.

God planted this Tree on the Day of Pentecost to "be fruitful, multiply and fill the earth." On that very day the inaugural 120 saints added 3,000 souls to the Body as Jesus had taught them to multiply. John 15:1-8, "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already sanctified through the Word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine; neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches: He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit: for apart from Me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not abide in Me is cast away as a branch, and withers, is gathered, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. Herein is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples".

This tree will be pruned, but it will never die and is ripening at the top under the fullness of the S_O_N-Light for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. Buffeted "with every wind of doctrine [within the circle of the Message and without], by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; [those winds stimulate the roots of our faith that they may dig deeper] and speaking the truth in love we may grow up into Him in all things who is the Head, even Christ".

In Mark 16:15-18 Jesus admonished the Bride Church, "Go into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: in My Name [not three Titles] they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up snakes; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover".

God wants a Church, a Bride who will keep His Word and multiply thereby, not a denomination. He planted a fruit tree that is to bear nine different kinds of fruit and nine spiritual gifts. Galatians 5:22-26, "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control: against such there is no law. And those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh and its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us be directed by the Spirit. Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another".

I Corinthians 12:1-10, "Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is give the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom by the Spirit; and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the miraculous powers; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another various kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues".

As we learned in "The New Creation of God-men," the Bible is the story of the sole Person of God unfolding Himself or changing His form from the eternal Spirit alone with His thoughts to the flesh of His glorified Family—the Bride Tree restored: "ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands"—in One (I Corinthians 15:28; Ephesians 1:23).

Four Living CreaturesUnder the New Testament the four cherubim, represented by the four Gospels, direct our way to the Tree of Life in the Most Holy Place—represented as the Book of the Acts of the Holy Spirit in the Apostles, and in you and me. On the East the Gospel of St. Matthew and the office of Apostle represents the cherub with the face of a lion. On the West the Gospel of Mark and the office of Pastor represents the cherub with the face of an ox. On the South the Gospel of Luke and the office of Teacher represents the cherub with the face of a man, while on the North the Gospel of John and the offices of Evangelist and Prophet represent the cherub with the face of a flying eagle.

David saw the Bride Tree as a continuation of the last Adam as Eve had been a continuation of the first Adam; whereas Eve was beguiled, Christ's Bride cannot be deceived on the revealed Word of God for she is one with the Word by their invisible marriage union. Jeremiah 17:8 describes David's revelation. Whereas the Bride Tree is "predestinated unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself according to the good pleasure of His will" (Ephesians 1:5), the churches of today are not grafted into the Root and Offspring of David but into branches of Anglican, Baptist, Methodist, Catholic and myriad other denominations—far from the water of Life, bearing their own fruit and casting their crop as prophesied in II Thessalonians 2:3, II Timothy 3:1 – 4:4, Revelation 3:17-20 and 18:4.

All trees born of woman (the church) die, "Man born of woman is of few days and full of trouble. He unfolds like a flower and withers; he flees like a shadow, and continues not" (Job 14:1-2; Romans 11:32). The Life is in the root. Christians are born by the Spoken Word of the Man Christ Jesus—continuing the new creation of God-men and God-women in their season.

Israel's King and Queen: Christ & His BrideJoel 1 foresaw the Bride Tree persecuted by the children of Cain and beaten down to the root. By Noah's day miscegenation, which deceivers now laud as multiculturalism (Genesis 6:1-13; Matthew 24:37), had wrought physical and spiritual genocide upon Adam's race, so God took the righteous into the ark and five were saved. Ham and his wife were unbelievers, and Noah's beautiful new wife Naamah who was not the mother of his three sons, was of Cain's race. God condemned multiculturalism and dispersed the people according to their families, tongues and nations at the tower of Babel. Subsequently He separated Abram and his wife Sarai; next he separated Jacob of whom came the patriarchs whose offspring He separated into the Israel nation which He divided in order to preserve Judah to bear Messiah (Micah 5:1-5; Luke 2:4-7). Israel apostatised, was dissolved and dispersed, then as it was in the days of Noah Judah intermarried with Cain's race, apostatised and slaughtered Jesus Messiah.

The Lord God turned to "whomsoever will" of Adam's race to take out from us Gentiles a people for His Name to restore the Bride Tree, and on the Day of Pentecost it revived. "They were all of one mind in one place. And suddenly there came a sound [not from the Sanhedrin or some yeshiva but] from heaven like a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance".

Joel 1 describes four stages in the life cycle of one insect, typing Satan, the horseman of the Apocalypse riding through the first Four Seals of Revelation impersonating Jesus Christ while aiming to devour the Life, fruits and gifts of the Spirit from His "little flock" to build his Judaeo-Roman Universal church kingdom. Jesus said, "Let them grow together until the Church Ages are fulfilled," redemption is over, and My mediation for "that which was in part is done away" (I Corinthians 13:10).

Bride TreeThe Church Ages ended in 1963 when Laodicea apostatised. Our diagram illustrates the "falling away" from the Word, and Christ is no longer interceding for man's ignorance of the fullness of the Word.

In Joel 2:25-26 God promised: "I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you. And you shall have plenty to eat and be satisfied, and praise the Name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you: and My people shall never be put to shame".

God has restored the faith once delivered to the apostolic saints through William Branham, the "Elijah" of Malachi 4:5, 6b and Matthew 17:11 who was "the seventh angel" of Revelation 1:1 and 10:7 who introduced Christ's second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming. The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form and His end-time Bride is born of "that which is perfect" or complete.

Jesus Messiah is Alpha and Omega: the Word at the beginning and the Word restored at the end. And although we are all one Body He is not the PART-Word in-between. Christ the fullness of the Word is forming us into the "lively stones" of the sharp peak of the Capstone that completes His Body (Revelation 10:1-11). From the Garden of Eden He was the Bridegroom Tree, however without a mate He cannot bear fruit and reproduce Himself. He must have a Bride Tree made of the same substance as Himself. He was the Word made flesh, she must be the flesh made into a W_O_R_D Bride that will not die and see corruption but change in the atoms "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye". nl989.htm

"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 PhoneOur feature article illustrates how uncreated hybridized creatures from 'the swamp' of the foreign nation state, Washington DC, that rules the united States, are training unregenerate Americans for their destiny as "the image unto the beast" of the Judaeo-Roman Universal church to enforce her edicts as queen of the global kingdom Lucifer offered Jesus Messiah. Nowadays few people think for themselves; the 'hidden hand' does their thinking and Jewish programmers write script for the talking heads on radio, TV, film and the internet to manipulate the minds of beguiled listeners and viewers who may be relied upon never to question the propaganda funded by dint of politicians more concerned with electoral security and ego than for the people and nation they pretend to serve.

Truth is coming out in the wash . . . "the washing of water by the Word." (Ephesians 5:26). Prophecies are coming to pass in real time, but I wonder how many in the circle of this Message realize that "the squeeze" is in effect, and the pressure is increasing?

This letter is unusual because the articles focus almost entirely on geopolitical issues. The most important reveal the stratagem of planned chaos in the wake of Satan, "the rider on the pale horse . . . to kill with war, and famine, and with spiritual death, and with brutal, earth-bound bestial men [like the unthinking 'coalition of the willing' who are without excuse, and the proxy armies of NATO and the US—al Qaeda, Daesh, al Nusrah, MI6, CIA, Mossad]"  (Amos 8:11; Revelation 6:8). Like the bestial apostates described in Romans 1:18-32, "that which is known about God was evident among them; for God has shown it to them . . . so that they are without excuse: because when they knew God . . . their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools . . . knowing the judgment of God, that those who commit such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but give hearty approval to those who practice them".

The Anti-imperialist Camp: splintered in Thought

August 15, 2017 — In May 2017, Thierry Meyssan appeared on Russia Today and explained where the South American elites were going wrong in their fight against US imperialism. He insisted that there has been a sea-change in the way the US now wages armed conflicts and we now need to radically rethink how we should defend our homelands. The operation to destabilize Venezuela continues . . . Imperialism seeks to divide the world in two. One part will be a stable area which profits from the system while in the other part a terrifying chaos will reign. This other will be a zone, where all thought of resisting has been wiped it; where every thought is fixated on surviving; an area where the multinationals can extract raw materials which they need without any duty to account to anyone.

Non-integrating gap countriesAccording to this map, taken from one of Thomas P. M. Barnett's power point slides, presented at a conference held at the Pentagon in 2003, every state in the pink zone must be destroyed. This project has nothing to with the struggle between classes at the national level nor with exploiting natural resources. Once they are done with the expanded Middle East, the US strategists are preparing to reduce the North West of Latin America to ruins . . .

Syria is the only State in the entire world, since the Vietnam War, to have resisted until imperialism tires itself out and surrenders . . . faced with this invasion of a multitude of jihadists, from Muslim populations all over the world—Morocco to China, President Assad took the decision to abandon part of his territory to save his people . . . The Syria people have seen for themselves how the Republic alone assumed the role of feeding them and protecting them. The Muslim Brotherhood and their jihadists played no part . . . During this war, President Assad has never used force against his own people . . . He has always assumed the risk of giving before receiving. That is why today, he has won the confidence of his people, and can count on their active support. Full story: voltairenet.org

The US Military Project for the World

AUGUST 22, 2017 — For the last 70 years, the obsession of US strategists has not been to defend their people, but to maintain their military superiority over the rest of the world. During the decade between the dissolution of the USSR and the terrorist attacks of 9/11, they searched for ways to intimidate those who resisted them.

Harlan K. Ullman developed the idea of terrorising populations by dealing them a horrifying blow to the head (Shock and awe). This was the idea behind the use of the atomic bomb against the Japanese and the bombing of Baghdad with a storm of cruise missiles.

The Straussians (meaning the disciples of philosopher Leo Strauss) dreamed of waging and winning several wars at once (Full-spectrum dominance). This led to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, placed under a common command.

Admiral Arthur K. Cebrowski suggested reorganising the armies in order to facilitate the treatment and sharing of a wealth of data simultaneously. In this way, robots would one day be able to indicate the best tactics instantaneously. As we shall see, the major reforms he initiated were soon to produce poisonous fruit.

These ideas and fantasies first of all led President Bush and the Navy to organise the world's most wide-ranging network for international kidnapping and torture, which created 80,000 victims. Then President Obama set up an assassination programme mainly using drones, but also commandos, which operates in 80 countries, and enjoys an annual budget of 14 billion dollars . . .

As from 9/11, Admiral Cebrowski's assistant, Thomas P. M. Barnett, has given numerous conferences at the Pentagon and in military academies in order to announce the shape of the new map of the world according to the Pentagon. This project was made possible by the structural reforms of US armies—these reforms are the source of this new vision of the world. At first, it seemed so crazy that foreign observers too quickly considered it as one more piece of rhetoric aimed at striking fear into the people they wanted to dominate.

Barnett declared that in order to maintain their hegemony over the world, the United States would have to "settle for less," in other words, to divide the world in two. On one side, the stable states (the members of the G8 and their allies), on the other, the rest of the world, considered only as a simple reservoir of natural resources. Contrary to his predecessors, Barnett no longer considered access to these resources as vital for Washington, but claimed that they would only be accessible to the stable states by transit via the services of the US army. From now on, it was necessary to systematically destroy all state structures in the reservoir of resources, so that one day, no-one would be able to oppose the will of Washington, nor deal directly with the stable states . . .

Destroying the state structures is to operate a plunge into chaos, a concept borrowed from Leo Strauss, but to which Barnett gives new meaning. For the Jewish philosopher, the Jewish people can no longer trust democracies after the failure of the Weimar Republic and the Shoah. The only way to protect itself from a new form of Nazism, is to establish its own world dictatorship—in the name of Good, of course. It would therefore be necessary to destroy certain resistant states, drag them into chaos and rebuild them according to different laws . . . for Barnett, not only the few resistant people should be forced into chaos, but all those who have not attained a certain standard of life—and once they are reduced to chaos, they must be kept there . . .

One of the great differences between the thinking of Barnett and that of his predecessors is that war should not be waged against specific states for political reason, but against regions of the world because they are not integrated into the global economic system. Of course, we will start with one country or another, but we will favour contagion until everything is destroyed, just as we are seeing in the Greater Middle East. Today, tank warfare is raging in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt (Sinai), Palestine, Lebanon (Ain al-Hilweh and Ras Baalbeck), Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia (Qatif), Bahreïn, Yemen, Turkey (Diyarbakir), and Afghanistan . . . Since it is impossible to justify our indifference to the fate of the people from the reservoir of natural resources, we can always persuade ourselves that our civilisations are incompatible.

Non-integrating gap countriesAccording to this map, taken from one of Thomas P. M. Barnett's power point slides, presented at a conference held at the Pentagon in 2003, every state in the pink zone must be destroyed. This project has nothing to with the struggle between classes at the national level nor with exploiting natural resources. Once they are done with the expanded Middle East, the US strategists are preparing to reduce the North West of Latin America to ruins . . .

This is precisely the policy which has been in operation since 9/11. None of the wars which were started have yet come to an end. For 16 years, on a daily basis, the living conditions of the Afghan people have become increasingly more terrible and more dangerous. The reconstruction of their state, which was touted to be planned on the model of Germany and Japan after the Second World War, has not yet begun. The presence of NATO troops . . . these troops are there only to deepen and maintain the chaos.

Never once, when NATO troops intervened, have the official reasons for the war been shown to be true—neither against Afghanistan (the responsibility of the Taliban in the attacks of 9/11), nor Iraq (President Hussein's support for the 9/11 terrorists and the preparation of weapons of mass destruction to attack the USA), nor Libya (the bombing of its own people by the army), nor in Syria (the dictatorship of President Assad and the Alaouite cult). And never once has the overthrow of a government ever put an end to these wars. They all continue without interruption, no matter who is in power.

The "Arab Springs," which were born of an idea from MI6 and directly inspired by the "Arab Revolt of 1916" and the exploits of Lawrence of Arabia, were included in the same US strategy . . . We now see that the same process of destruction has begun in the North-West of Latin America . . . but the war . . . will spread throughout the whole region, although the economic and political conditions of the states which compose it are very different.

The US strategists like to compare their power to that of the Roman Empire. But that empire brought security and opulence to the peoples they conquered and integrated. It built monuments and rationalised their societies. On the contrary, US neo-imperialism does not intend to offer anything to the people of the stable states, nor to the people of the reservoirs of natural resources. It plans to racket the former and to destroy the social connections which bind the latter together. Above all, it does not want to exterminate the people of the reservoirs, but needs for them to suffer so that the chaos in which they live will prevent the stable states from going to them for natural resources without the protection of the US armies.

Until now, the imperialist project . . . admitted that it had committed collateral massacres in order to extend its domination. From now on, it is planning generalised massacres in order to impose its authority—definitively.

US neo-imperialism supposes that the other states of the G8 and their allies will agree to allow their overseas interests to be "protected" by US armies. That should pose no problem with the European Union, which has already been emasculated for a long time, but will have to be negotiated with the United Kingdom, and will be impossible with Russia and China.

Recalling its "special relationship" with Washington, London the UK has already asked to be associated with the US project for governing the world. That was the point of Theresa May's visit to the United States in January 2017, but she has so far received no answer. [Your elected representatives know what is afoot and will treacherously serve the alien establishment: Vatican City State, the City of London, and Washington DC] that rules your government, and yours, too].

Apart from that, it is inconceivable that the US armies will ensure the security of the "Silk Roads" as they do today with their British opposite numbers for the sea and air routes. Similarly, it is unthinkable for them to force Russia to genuflect, which has just been excluded from the G8 because of its engagement in Syria and Crimea. Full story: oltairenet.org

Comment: Daniel 7:23, "The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms [i.e. a church kingdom], and shall devour the whole earth, and [its US image] will tread it down, and break it in pieces." Make no mistake, brethren, this is "the squeeze," and it is coming to a town, a street and a home just like . . . well, your home. This most important article MUST be read in full, because it is Revelation 13:11-18.

ISIS – Always-Always claims Responsibility

August 23, 2017 — Maybe what meets the eye is not reality. Could it be that ISIS/ISIL/Daesh, out of sheer gratitude to its benevolent sponsors have agreed to take the blame whenever a western orchestrated terror attack strikes somewhere in Europe or the world? Can't be excluded, can it? It's not even blackmail. After all, lending a helping hand to the Big Brothers, NATO, France, Germany, UK, US of A and many more lesser contributors, but contributors all the same—who keep you alive, would not be out of the world.—Right?—This is all done in connivance with massive support of European secret services, led by the usual villains, CIA, MI6, Mossad.

Is it therefore far-fetched to conclude that European governments are utterly complicit in instigating and executing these 'false flag' terror attacks, sacrificing the lives of hundreds of their citizens, just so they can pursue their goal of totally militarizing the Continent?—That they are as faithful vassals following the pattern of their trans-Atlantic partners—aiming at Full Spectrum Dominance—World Hegemony, a New World Order under a One World Order governed by Washington and its Deep Dark handlers?—Barcelona, Paris, Berlin are mere little pebbles in the Big Picture mosaic of world dominion. And the people, the mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, children who are killed—they are just menial collateral damage. After all, slaves—what is their value? Full story: globalresearch.ca

The War on Afghanistan is a Profit driven 'Resource War'

August 22, 2017 — US and NATO forces invaded Afghanistan almost 16 years ago in October 2001. It's has been a continuous war marked by US military occupation. The justification is "counterterrorism." Afghanistan is defined as a state sponsor of terrorism, allegedly responsible for attacking America on September 11, 2001 . . . The legal argument used by Washington and NATO to invade and occupy Afghanistan under "the doctrine of collective security" was that the September 11, 2001 attacks constituted an undeclared "armed attack" "from abroad" by an unnamed foreign power, namely Afghanistan. Yet there were no Afghan fighter planes in the skies of New York on the morning of September 11, 2001.

This article, first published in June 2010, points to the "real economic reasons" why US-NATO forces invaded Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11. Under the Afghan-US security pact, established under Obama's Asian pivot, Washington and its NATO partners have established a permanent military presence in Afghanistan, with military facilities located within proximity of China's Western frontier. The pact was intended to allow the US to maintain their nine permanent military bases, strategically located on the borders of China, Pakistan and Iran as well as Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.

In recent developments, President Trump in his February 28, 2017 address to a joint session of Congress vowed to "demolish and destroy" terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq as well as in Afghanistan under a fake counter-terrorism mandate.

According to Foreign Affairs, "there are more US military forces deployed there [Afghanistan] than to any other active combat zone" and their mandate is to go after the Taliban, Al Qaeda and ISIS (which are supported covertly by US intelligence). There is both a geopolitical as well as an economic agenda in Afghanistan requiring the permanent presence of US troops . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

US will have a Presence in Afghanistan for Another 50 Years

February 15, 2016 — Afghanistan is a geostrategic and economic prize that the West will not want to relinquish anytime soon.

In an interview at the end of 2015, the former chief of staff to Colin Powell and retired US Army Colonel, Lawrence Wilkerson, outlined the realistic timescale he believes the US will be involved in Afghanistan, in addition to emphasizing the strategic importance of the country to the US. Speaking to Abby Martin on her show 'The Empire Files' for Telesur, Wilkerson asserted that the "US presence in Afghanistan will not go away for another half-century" (from 20:05 into the interview):

"The war in Afghanistan has morphed; it's not about al-Qaeda anymore, and it's not about the Taliban anymore. It's about China; Russia—the soft underbelly which is mostly Muslim of Russia; about Pakistan; about Iran; about Syria; about Iraq; about whether a Kurdistan is stood up or not; and ultimately about oil, water and energy in general. And the US presence in Afghanistan, I'll predict right now, will not go away for another half-century . . . And it will grow, it will not decrease" . . .

Similar to many other imperial wars we have seen in recent years, evidence suggests that the war in Afghanistan was pre-planned at least months prior to 9/11. The BBC reported on the 18th of September 2001 that Niaz Naik, a former Pakistani Foreign Secretary, was told by US officials in July that the US was planning to attack Afghanistan in the coming months. A report by a bipartisan commission of inquiry in 2004 also revealed that the Bush administration had agreed on a plan to attack Afghanistan the day before 9/11.

Then, perfectly on time, 9/11 (also dubbed by the neoconservatives the "new Pearl Harbour" event) happens, giving the West the ideal justification to invade and occupy the country in addition to launching the global war on terror.

A look at the map reveals the geostrategic importance of Afghanistan, as it sits between Iran, China, Pakistan and the Central Asian Republics . . . US military presence in Afghanistan is about an array of factors, most notably "about China," "Iran" and "Russia" . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Ernst Zundel, the Man who destroyed the Holocaust Industry, Died

August 7, 2017 — Jesus identified the Jews [not Israelites] as liars (John 6:40-47). President Putin has demonstrated that the top echelon of the parallel government that rules the united States Administration are liars. Is not this revelation as plain as Matthew 28:19 and Acts 2:38-39? We must follow the truth wherever it may lead (II Thessalonians 2:11-12). Full story: veteranstoday.com

Why You will not be free under Same-Sex Marriage Law

August 22, 2017 — There is a school of thought in the debate about redefining marriage that it is inevitable and that Christians should just sue for peace with the same-sex marriage activists. Try and extract as many protections for religious freedom as possible and roll over.

To make it easier for us to capitulate, leading politicians such as Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, Attorney General George Brandis and Tim Wilson say same-sex marriage and freedom of religion can co-exist. "I don't accept the religious practice in this country is under threat," Mr. Shorten said this week.

Jewish shameWhat he is essentially saying is it is okay to go to church and [as a hypocrite] believe what you like . . . what is under threat, and what Mr. Shorten is not telling us, is that religious practice outside the church, mosque or synagogue is under grave threat should the definition of marriage in law be changed . . . Indeed, it is now Labor policy to use the law to punish anyone who does not conform to same-sex marriage ideology, unless they are professional clergy . . . One of the most bizarre policies adopted by Labor was for taxpayer funding of gender reassignment surgery. Given that "Safe Schools" encourages children to access sex change operations "with or without parental consent," it is an open question as to whether a future Labor government would fund this too . . . just a word on the bombing of our office . . .

Comment: Israelites, Christians and Moslems hold to what the God of Abraham had to say about homosexuality. Please read Leviticus 18:22, Deuteronomy 22:5). An email from Kosovo stated "This is all a plan with some greater purpose ahead and it always comes from abroad. Just because homosexuality is most prevalent among the Jews, we have to accept it wherever their power reaches. Do you think that a minority rule over majority could ever happen in a true democracy? I see in this a reason to overthrow and occupy any country which insists on being normal. Just to make things more clear, Christian parts of former Yugoslavia all had to have gay parades and Moslem parts never had to. Nobody ever pushed them but Belgrade and Zagreb had them as demanded by the US embassies. You see the strategy? [end quote].

Lesbian Jewess Hillary Clinton as US Secretary of State threatened Uganda if the nation did not legalise homosexuality. Uganda did not bow to Miss. 'despicable'.

This egregious blasphemy was broadcast by the taxpayer-funded fifth-column that brainwashes the nation with "fake news" and innuendo that is accursed by the God of Abraham. Peter had a sword . . . He could cut the high priest's ear off . . . when it come to "the squeeze" and time to stand on the Word of God, he didn't have the courage, and even denied he knowed Jesus . . . That's where it is today . . . (The End-time Evangelism, p. 34:195).

The bills before the Australian parliament would also introduce transgender ideology in education and enshrine transgender ideology in the heart of family law—marriage.

Germany repatriates $28bn in Cold War Gold from France & US

August 24, 2017 — The German central bank (Bundesbank) has brought back 674 tons of gold reserves kept in Paris and New York since the Cold War. Some 53,780 gold bars, each weighing 12.5kg and worth €440,000, have been shipped to Germany over the last four years, said the bank. The last 100 tons were moved from Paris earlier this year, which means the Bundesbank now holds no reserves in France . . . The bank has already repatriated 940 tons of gold from London to save on storage fees . . . Over 50 percent of Germany's gold reserves are now in Frankfurt. The remainder is stored in London and New York, where it can be quickly exchanged for British pounds or US dollars in an economic emergency . . . Full story: rt.com

Understanding North Korea taking a History and testing Hypotheses

By Dr. Robert Rennebohm
When there is conflict between two parties, it is best if each party tries to understand and think from the other's point of view, as opposed to thinking only from their own point of view and perpetuating misconceptions regarding the other's view.

When a physician is confronted with a problem, the first step is to take a complete and accurate history; the second step is to test hypotheses generated by that history and the physician's background knowledge and experience.

Let's start by taking a history of what has occurred in Korea over the past century or more:

In 1871 Japan began plans to occupy Korea for its own economic and military purposes. By 1905 Korea had become a Japanese protectorate. By 1910 it had become a colony of Japan. For centuries the social structure on the Korean peninsula had consisted of a privileged aristocratic landowning class (a tiny minority of the population) who ruled over the rest of the people, almost all of whom were peasants. In the years following 1910 Japan ruled Korea by conspiring with and providing privileges for opportunistic Koreans who were members of this aristocratic landed class.

Over the next three decades the Korean people suffered many atrocities under the brutal, oppressive rule by Japan and its Korean aristocratic collaborators. During this ruthless Japanese occupation the Korean language and culture were suppressed. Koreans were forced to take Japanese surnames. Precious Korean cultural artifacts were destroyed. And, resistance to the Japanese occupation was met with brutal force. For example, during the non-violent March 1st Movement of 1919 the Japanese police and military killed 7,000 peaceful demonstrators.

Japanese repression in Korea accelerated during the 1930s, after Japan invaded Manchuria (in 1931-32) and established Manchukuo. During the 1930s Japan and its aristocratic Korean collaborators subjected Korean men to forced labor. Other Korean men were forced to join the Japanese military. Up to 200,000 Chinese and Korean women (the vast majority being Korean) were forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese military, serving as "comfort women" while Japanese officers and soldiers occupied Korea and Manchuria.

By the mid-30s Kim Il Sung had become the main leader of the resistance against Japan's brutal occupation of Korea and Manchuria.

Then came WWII (1939-1945), during which the Japanese were driven out of Korea and Manchuria. Korea was finally liberated from Japan's oppressive rule. By 1945 the people of Korea could finally start planning for their own governance, according to how they wanted to proceed as a society. Kim Il Sung, who was inspired by socialist concepts, had great support among the Korean people (except, of course, for those of the privileged aristocracy who had collaborated with the Japanese). Independent of Kim Il Sung's movement were indigenous "People's Committees" that developed throughout the southern parts of Korea. These "People's Committees" were local groups of workers (factory workers, e.g.) who organized themselves to run factories and farms in a cooperative, democratic way that respected the rights, dignity, and health of the workers. The People's Committee movement represented an alternative to the unjust social system that privileged the aristocracy/business class.

But, these early hopes of creating a new, free, independent, and just Korean society were smashed when the USA and its Allies, without any consultation with the Korean people (other than with members of the opportunistic aristocratic class that had shamelessly collaborated with Japan), divided Korea into North and South Korea at the 38th parallel. The USA occupied the South, while the Soviet Union was awarded the North. In the South, Japanese occupation was replaced by USA occupation. The USA soon installed the corrupt, unscrupulous Syngman Rhee as the leader of South Korea. In 1948 the Republic of Korea (ROK) was officially established, with Rhee at the helm. The Soviet Union had allowed Kim Il Sung to become the leader of North Korea—the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

From 1945-1950 the USA/Rhee regime conducted a reign of terror against the "People's Committees" that had spontaneously and indigenously developed throughout the southern parts of South Korea. The social ideas and plans of these committees represented an enormous threat to the capitalistic thinking and plans of the USA and privileged business elite of South Korea. Although these People's Committees had nothing to do with Kim Il Sung, Chinese communism, or Soviet communism, the USA considered these committees to be "communists" who must be rooted out. Factory workers who participated in the People's Committee movement were terrorized, often killed.

The reign of terror conducted by the USA/Rhee regime is best exemplified by the Cheju Insurgency in 1948-49. Cheju is an island off the southern coast of South Korea. In 1945 there were about 300,000 people living on the island. About two thirds of these 300,000 had a progressive "moderate leftist" approach to their social thinking. After WWII ended in 1945 the vast majority of the Cheju people favored the development of the People's Committee movement as a way to organize social and work life on the island. The USA/Rhee regime saw this as a threatening development. The police force on the island was populated and controlled by the Rhee regime, and it deliberately colluded with ultra-rightist terrorists to oppress and destroy the People's Committee movement—all with the full knowledge of the USA. The USA helped Rhee to develop a Counter-Intelligence Corp (CIC) and a right wing Northwest Youth Corps (NWY), which was a fascist youth group. The CIC and the NWY were mobilized to terrorize and "reorient" supporters of the People's Committee movement. Those who resisted "reorientation" were killed, usually brutally.

The NWY reportedly "disemboweled pregnant women, ran bayonets through little kids, burned down people's homes, and smashed open the brains of opponents." Women were "serially raped, often in front of villagers, and then blown up with a grenade in the vagina." These atrocities occurred with the full knowledge of the USA/Rhee regime. They were part of a deliberate terror campaign against the People's Committee movement.

Understandably, in 1948 the people of Cheju Island rose up to resist this pathological violence. They rebelled, primarily against the police. The USA/Rhee regime responded with a massive counter-insurgency campaign, even bringing back Japanese officers and soldiers to help root out the insurgents. Villages were indiscriminately burned and destroyed; civilians were massacred. By August 1949 the insurgency (the People's Committee movement) had been eradicated, much to the delight of the USA/Rhee regime. More than 70% of the island's villages had been burned. It is estimated that 30,000-60,000 islanders were killed, many of them butchered. Another 40,000 islanders fled the country, for safety. After the defeat of the People's Committee movement, Cheju Island was run by the CIC and the NWY, who continued to treat the remaining islanders with contempt and cruelty.

This USA-directed reign of terror (throughout South Korea, not just on Cheju Island) took place from 1945-49, before the Korean War even started (in 1950). During that reign of terror approximately 100,000 South Korean people (mostly progressive leftist-thinking people) were killed by USA/Rhee forces.

That brings us to 1950, when the Korean War began. By 1950 South Korea was controlled by the USA/Rhee regime. Most of the leaders of South Korea were former collaborators with Japan. In fact, by 1950 the USA had enlisted Japan as an ally in its war against North Korea. By 1950 the USA/Rhee regime had ruthlessly eliminated the People's Committee movement throughout South Korea. Now it was time to eliminate the "communists" in North Korea, who were led by Kim Il Sung. Who actually "fired the first shot" is a matter of controversy. Early in 1950 North Korea appeared to be prevailing over the South Korean Army. This alarmed the USA and prompted the sending of American troops to Korea—to heroically save the Korean people (and the rest of Asia) from communism.

Once the USA entered the Korean War in 1950 it set out to totally destroy North Korea. The USA carpet-bombed North Korea with virtually no concern for civilian casualties. 32,000 tons of napalm were dropped on the North Korean people. Whole cities were demolished. 75% of Pyongyang was leveled. The USA threatened several times to drop nuclear bombs on North Korea, and terrorized North Korea by deliberately sending lone B-29 bombers on simulated atomic bomb runs, during which they dropped "dummy" atomic bombs (heavy TNT bombs). Each time, the North Koreans would be unsure whether these planes were going to drop a real atomic bomb (as the USA had needlessly dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki) or just a dummy.

The USA would have prevailed over North Korea were it not for China's intervention (under Mao Tse Tung). A stalemate eventually occurred, and an Armistice Agreement was signed in 1953 to cease hostilities and create the demilitarized zone (DMZ). This Armistice represented only a cease-fire agreement, not a peace treaty or an official end to the war. The Korean War was never officially ended. It has continued in a suspended state ever since. The USA has preferred it that way, because it justifies American bases in South Korea and allows the USA to continually pose as an existential threat to North Korea.

It is extremely relevant, today, that the USA/South Korea has continued (since 1953) to intermittently send lone B29 bombers on simulated bomb runs near North Korea (without dropping "dummy" bombs), just to remind North Korea that the USA could annihilate North Korea with a nuclear bomb whenever it chooses. North Korea has never been able to relax in this regard. It has needed to stay vigilant. It has felt an appropriate need to develop protection from an American first strike.

So, that is a brief history of Korea, before, during, and after the Korean War. If accurate, it raises the question of who the "good guys" were/are. According to the USA, the people who were attracted to the Peoples Committee movement were the bad guys—so bad that they needed to be terrorized and killed, by the thousands. According to the USA, the "communists" in North Korea were the bad guys, including Kim Il Sung, who had led the resistance against the ruthless Japanese reign of terror (1910-1939). According to the USA, Rhee was a good guy, as were the other financially and politically powerful South Korean elite, most of whom had collaborated with the Japanese during Japan's brutal occupation of Korea and Manchuria. According to the USA, the ruthless CIC and the fascist NWY were the good guys on Cheju Island.

Understandably, the North Korean people who support Kim Il Sung do not see the USA as the good guys. Understandably, they fear and distrust the USA.

Today, the American people still assume (as they did in 1950) that the USA was on the right side of history in 1950 and has been on the right side ever since. And, they assume that North Korea was (in 1950) an evil empire and has been ever since. According to the American understanding, North Korea is one of the most evil, if not the most evil, countries on earth. It is viewed as a ruthless dictatorship, in which there are no freedoms, no human rights—only suffering, starvation, fear, torture, and death (for those who dissent). The perception is that the Korean people's adoration of Kim Jong Un (and his father and grandfather) is due to either brainwashing, fear, delusion, or combinations of these. It is thought that Kim Jong Un is dangerously deranged and deluded and represents an existential threat to the USA.

If the above history of Korea is accurate, and if we try to think from North Korea's point of view, we are likely to conclude that instead of waging a nuclear war to annihilate the North Korean people, the USA should, at the very least, critically examine its behavior in Korea over the past 72 years. At the very least, the American people should consider hypotheses about North Korea that differ from the US narrative that Americans have unquestioningly accepted.

Instead of ignorantly dropping nuclear bombs on North Korea, without taking a complete history or testing any hypotheses, maybe it would be better to not only critically review the above history, but also consider the following hypothesis about North Korea:

Hypothesis: Maybe, somehow, the North Korean people, as a group, have deeply grasped and are appreciatively practicing a highly evolved concept of Natural Duty that Jose Marti, Che Guevara, and Victor Hugo advocated—a concept that most Americans know little about and many have never experienced.

At the very heart of the social philosophy of Jose Marti, Che Guevara, and Victor Hugo is the concept that the "real aim in life" is to follow the path of Natural Duty, and that the greatest satisfactions in life stem from following that path—from "being on Duty," being available and being able to help our fellow human beings. By "Duty," Marti, Guevara and Hugo meant physician-like Duty; not an onerous contrived guilt-driven duty, but an exhilarating Natural Duty. They suggested that we celebrate and enjoy the fact that a huge part of Human Nature is a natural, free flowing, brimming capacity and desire to follow the path of Natural Duty—the path of looking after others. Good physicians regularly experience the uplifting meaningfulness of being on duty. They appreciate the privilege of being trained and given the opportunity to provide health care. Good physicians are not motivated by an onerous sense of obligation, imposed from within and/or without, that "forces" them to help patients; Good physicians are naturally inclined to compassionately help patients; it is part of the natural flow of their hearts, minds, and lives. The experience of being on duty brings meaning and satisfaction to their lives, and they are appreciative that Medicine has afforded them an opportunity to practice the very best of their human nature.

Maybe the North Korean people have been helped to understand and practice this concept of Natural Duty. Maybe they are willingly devoted to the Marti-Guevara-Hugo concept of Natural Duty because they have recognized that participation in such Duty is the most satisfying experience in life. Maybe the North Korean people have grasped the concept of Natural Duty to a greater, fuller extent than has any society on earth, perhaps even in History.

Maybe the North Korean people have somehow figured out that participation in vast Public Activity (including a free public health care system, free public education, and a completely Public Economy that is designed to meet Human needs, rather than to make profit) leads to far greater satisfaction and far greater collective human spirit than does participation in capitalism.

Maybe the North Korean people, including their leaders, have focused on creating vast opportunities for people to discover and practice the real aim of life, which is devotion to Natural Duty, devotion to caring for others—and have found this to be a far more satisfying approach to life, individually and collectively, than becoming entrepreneurs or being exploited by entrepreneurs.

Maybe the North Koreans, each in their own way, have learned to appreciate "being on duty" in the same way that devoted physicians and nurses have learned how uplifting and satisfying and freeing it is to be "on duty" to help their fellow human beings.

Maybe the North Koreans have figured out what the Cheju People's Committees intuitively understood—that it is more satisfying to look after each other than to look after one's self—that following the path of Natural Duty is more uplifting than following the path of self-interest.

What a beautiful thought—to have an entire society made up of people who fully grasp and enthusiastically practice the concept of Natural Duty (of "being on duty") that was suggested by Marti-Guevara-Hugo and has been exemplified by so many devoted physicians, nurses, and teachers world-wide, for many decades.

Maybe when the North Korean people are seen in mass demonstrations of homage to their leaders, they are really paying homage and giving thanks to the concept of Natural Duty that they have learned and have been given ample opportunity to practice. Maybe they primarily view their leader as a symbol and protectorate of the concept of Natural Duty. Maybe they particularly appreciate the fact that Kim Il Sung, caring enough to risk his life to resist the brutal Japanese and American occupations, proceeded to develop a society that is based on Natural Duty and creates vast Public Activity for its practice. Maybe they appreciate Kim Jong Un's commitment to protecting and perpetuating that society.

Maybe the North Korean people feel wonderfully free, precisely because of their understanding and practice of Natural Duty. Maybe that understanding has resulted in their being as self-motivated and altruistic as our best physicians, nurses, and teachers—who do not need to be told or forced to do what their natural inclinations and natural compassion guide them to do.

Maybe North Korea is, thereby, the most free, loving, compassionate, enthusiastic, and emotionally healthy society on earth.

And, maybe, too, the North Korean people are appropriately fearful that the USA intends to ruthlessly annihilate them, as they tried to do during the Korean War years of 1950-53. Maybe the North Koreans fear that American-directed fascists, like those on Cheju Island, will serially rape their women, then blow them up with grenades in their vaginas. After all, the USA has committed such heinous crimes many times before. And now an ignorant racist American Commander-in-Chief, like the ignorant, racist American Commander-in-Chief during the Korean War era, is threatening to attack North Korea "with fire and fury like the world has never seen before." Maybe North Korea believes that possession, or at least the threat of possible possession, of a nuclear deterrent is the only way to protect themselves from a ruthlessness that the USA has exhibited many times over, not only before and during the Korean War, but in dozens of countries since.

The American hypothesis is that North Korea is the most evil and oppressive society on earth, run by a ruthless dictator—a society in which the people have no freedom, are brainwashed, live in fear, and worship their leaders with either deluded loyalty or fear for their lives.

Which hypothesis is closer to the truth? Which country is the greater threat to humankind and the environment? Which people understand the real aim of life? Which people have the best understanding of Natural Duty and the importance of it? Which country is on the right track?

Maybe the American hypothesis is closer to the truth. Maybe the above-recounted history of Korea is inaccurate. Maybe the truth is somewhere in-between these two hypotheses and between the above history and the accepted American narrative. But, the point is, we do not really know, because we have not critically examined the history of Korea or either hypothesis. A good physician does not prescribe dangerous chemotherapy "for cancer" without first taking a history and proving the hypothesis that the patient truly has cancer. That would be malpractice. And, yet, the USA is threatening to "nuke" a North Korean "cancer" without taking an accurate history and without testing its own or any other hypotheses about North Korea.

Rather than drop nuclear bombs on North Korea, should we not, first, study history and test the above hypotheses? That is what physicians do. That is how physicians learn; that is how physicians correct mistakes and avoid making further mistakes.

The American people owe it to the North Koreans, to Humanity, and to the Earth itself, to take a complete history of the Korean War and think from North Korea's point of view, as opposed to thinking only from the American point of view and perpetuating narratives about Korea that may not be true.

Ignoring Ignorance can be Costly

August 11, 2017 — The capacity to borrow today brings consumption forward from tomorrow. The world is awash with more than US$220 trillion of debt . . . future consumption that's already been consumed. Now we have to pay for it.

To make servicing this historically high level of debt a little easier, central banks have taken interest rates to historically low levels . . . wilfully persisted with an economic model . . . utterly dependent upon debt-funded consumption to produce growth . . . there's a limit on how much debt this world can service before we trigger another (and more catastrophic) debt crisis . . . taking us headlong into a Greater Depression.

This chart traces out five different market valuation measures on the S&P 500 index since 1947. The 0% line represents the 70-year fair-value average. Note the market spends most of its time . . . between under-valued and over-valued.

Since 1990, the market has spent most of the time in overvalued territory. This coincides with the time the Fed—led by Alan Greenspan—began . . . creating the so-called 'wealth effect' . . .

Avoiding Nuclear War: Why Kim Jong-Un's Strategy makes Sense

August 11, 2017 — [T]he direction in which North Korea's nuclear program is headed ensures an important regional deterrent against Japan and South Korea, and in some respects against the United States, which is the main reason for North Korea's development of ICBMs. Recent history has repeatedly demonstrated the folly of trusting the West (the fate of Gaddafi remains fresh in our minds) and suggests instead the building up of an arsenal that poses a serious deterrence to US bellicosity.

It is not a mystery that from 2009 to date, North Korea's nuclear capacity has increased in direct proportion to the level of distrust visited on Pyongyang by the West. Since 2009, the six-party talks concluded, Kim Jong-un has come to realize that the continuing threats, practices, and arms sales of the United States to Japan and South Korea needed to be thwarted in some way in the interests of defending the sovereignty of the DPRK . . . The reason the United States continues to raise tensions with Pyongyang and threaten a conflict is not out of a concern for the protection of her Japanese or South Korean allies, as one may initially be led to think. The United States in the region has a central objective that does not concern Kim Jong-un or his nuclear weapons. Rather, it is driven by the perennial necessity to increase forces in the region for the purposes of maintaining a balance of military force (Asian Pivot) and ultimately trying to contain the rise of the People's Republic of China (PRC) . . .

Commonwealth Bank & the 'War on Cash'

August 16, 2017 — We may look back at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia money-laundering scandal and realise that it heralded the end of cash in Australia . . . UBS analyst Jonathan Mott pointed at the start of this month that this breach raised 'critical questions':
  • Is the root of the problem the outdated high denomination cash notes? Should Australia move to phase out cash given its role in the black economy (including: proceeds of crime, money laundering, tax avoidance, welfare fraud)?
  • Benefits may include reduced crime (difficult to monetise; increased tax revenue (fewer cash transactions) and reduced welfare fraud (claiming welfare while earning and hoarding cash).
  • From the banks' perspective there would likely be a spike in deposits—if all the A$100 notes were deposited into banks (ignoring hoarded A$50s), household deposits would rise 4%. This would likely fill the banks Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) gap and reduce reliance on offshore funding.'

At the end of 2016, UBS was the first private group to make the case for banning large-denomination notes in Australia. Unsurprisingly, politicians are warming to the idea. Kelly O'Dwyer, the Minister for Revenue and Financial Services, suggests the $100 note's place in the Australian economy should be reviewed. Pretending to defend the $100 note, the Reserve Bank of Australia has said criminals much prefer to use $50 notes instead. In one fell swoop, the case was made to remove two large-denomination notes from circulation . . . Full story: marketsandmoney.com.au

Why Elites are Winning the War on Cash

August 16, 2017 — Visa is offering certain merchants a $10,000 reward if they refuse to accept cash in the future . . . Visa and MasterCard exist side by side with official efforts to eliminate or discourage the use of cash coming from governments in India, Australia, Sweden as well as the United States . . . But the so-called "cashless society" is just a Trojan horse for a system in which all financial wealth is electronic and represented digitally in the records of a small number of megabanks and asset managers.

Once that is achieved, it will be easy for state power to seize and freeze the wealth, or subject it to constant surveillance, taxation and other forms of digital confiscation . . . The US got rid of its $500 note in 1969, and the $100 note has lost 85% of its purchasing power since . . . The real burden of the war on cash falls on honest citizens who are made vulnerable to potential wealth confiscation through negative interest rates, loss of privacy, account freezes and limits on cash withdrawals . . . If the power grid goes out due to storms, accidents, sabotage or cyber attacks, our digital economy will grind to a complete halt. That's why it's a good idea to keep some of your liquidity in paper cash (while you can) and gold or silver coins . . . money good in every state of the world . . . Full story: dailyreckoning.com

Russians should urgently repatriate their Assets from the West

August 8, 2017 — The new law of sanctions on Russia is not just economic war—it is a war on the Russian people and now the millions of Russians who have assets in the West are on the frontline . . . These sanctions are no diplomatic squabble. They will get very personal for Russian businesses and professionals working with Russian companies. Any sector of business can be targeted by the US for such crimes as "closeness to elites," "oligarch" . . . reminiscent of Stalin's terror and kangaroo courts in which anyone could be charged, tried and convicted, property seized and banished without a right to appeal . . .

Global Deception: 'The War on Terror' is a Campaign for Permanent War & Terror

August 8, 2017 — The "War On Terror," an outgrowth of the crimes of September 11, 2001, was never a war on terror. It has always been a campaign for permanent war and terror . . . terrorists in Syria, including al Qaeda, are proxies for the West's dirty war on Syria. They are aided and abetted by illegal sanctions and every tactic used by the West to destroy the country and its institutions. Any action that the West takes against the Syrian Arab Army or the Syrian government aids the terrorists, since the SAA and the Syrian government are the dominant forces fighting the terrorists.

The veil of confusion drops every time the official narratives change. The terrorists who reportedly flew into the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon were, reportedly, al Qaeda. Al Qaeda is the supposed enemy. But the West supports al Qaeda and all the terrorists in Syria, so whereas al Qaeda is one of humanity's enemies, al Qaeda is the ally of those who control the levers of power. The enemy consists of the neo-con "power elites" who are orchestrating the terror, the globalized war, and the globalized poverty beneath their public lies and deceptions. The enemy consists of publicly-financed warfare states, like the US, and increasingly its allies, which endanger and impoverish humanity for the perceived benefit of the elites and corporate profits. Whereas the public presumably believes that it is somehow benefiting from the carnage and mass murder, it is actually being fleeced . . .

Polls: US 'Greatest Threat to Peace in the World Today'

August 9, 2017 — On August 1st of 2017, Pew Research Center has issued results of their polling of 30 nations in which they had surveyed, first in 2013, and then again in 2017 . . . On page 3 of their 32-page pdf is shown that the "major threat" category was selected by 35% of respondents worldwide for "US power and influence," . . . on pages 23 and 24 of the pdf is shown the 30 countries that had been surveyed in this poll, in both 2013 and 2017; and most of these 30 nations were US allies; only Venezuela clearly was not. None of the 30 countries was an ally of either Russia or China (the other two countries offered as possibly being "a major threat"). And, yet, nonetheless, more respondents among the 30 sampled countries saw the US as "a major threat" than saw either Russia or China that way . . .

[T]he trend, in those 30 countries, throughout that four-year period, was generally in the direction of an increase in fear of the US—increase in fear of the country that had been overwhelmingly cited in 2013 by people in 65 countries in WIN/Gallup's poll, as constituting, in 2013, "the greatest threat to peace in the world today." Perhaps people around the world are noticing that, at least since 2001, the US is wrecking one country after another: Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and Ukraine. Which is next? Maybe Iran? Maybe Russia? Maybe Venezuela? . . . the US has just increased its 'defense' spending, which already is three times China's, and nine times higher than Russia's. Do the owners of America's military-industrial complex own the US government, and own the US 'news' media, to permit this rabid military to control the government's budget, in a 'democracy'? Is that how it happens? Full story: globalresearch.ca

Australia begins questioning its Geopolitical Alliance with the US

August 7, 2017 — With all the disastrous wars the US has led her into over the last 20 years, this should come as no surprise.

hornswaggled'[For us] it is one thing to remain a good friend, but too close an embrace will lead Americans and others to resurrect the "deputy sheriff" tag.

If America was trying to start a World War, this is how it would Happen

August 8, 2017 — America continues its unilateral policy of bullying non-compliant states, further isolating itself from its traditional post-WWII allies . . . American-led sanctions push these defiant countries into the open arms of one another . . . If the US continues to use its global stranglehold over the financial markets as a tool to weaken other countries, these countries will also have no choice but to ditch the dollar and to seek alternative currencies through which to complete transactions . . . the US is at the crossroads of its dying status as a global superpower. In order to stay afloat, it has only one real option—to continue down the warpath it has set itself on and confront those countries that seek to rise up in the post-American led international order. The newly signed sanctions regime is just the beginning . . . It will be almost impossible to sell these wars to the American public and the international community at this stage considering the evidence shows the US is acting rashly and out of order with the rest of the world. However, if the US can provoke Iran or North Korea into doing something regrettable first, the US may finally reward itself with the justification to go to war which it so desperately needs . . .

Scientists discover 91 Volcanoes below Antarctic Ice Sheet

August 13, 2017 — Scientists have uncovered the largest volcanic region on Earth—two kilometres below the surface of the vast ice sheet that covers west Antarctica . . . Geologists say this huge region is likely to dwarf that of east Africa's volcanic ridge, currently rated the densest concentration of volcanoes in the world. Volcanic eruptions may not reach the surface but could melt the ice from beneath and drastically destabilise it . . . These newly discovered volcanoes range in height from 100 to 3,850 metres. All are covered in ice, which sometimes lies in layers that are more than 4km thick in the region. These active peaks are concentrated in a region known as the west Antarctic rift system, which stretches 3,500km from Antarctica's Ross ice shelf to the Antarctic peninsula . . .

The New Creation of God-men

Amos 3:7, "Truly the Lord God will do nothing, without [first] revealing His secret counsel to His servants the prophets".

II Peter 1:20-21, "No prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not by the will of man: but holy men moved by the Holy Ghost spoke from God".

Jesus came to apostate Israel preceded by the prophet John (Malachi 3:1; Luke 1:11-19); but when they rejected the Baptist and his Message they also refused the Logos and fullness of the Word he introduced, and thinking they were doing God a service they crucified Messiah. In these last days Christ came to the apostate Gentiles preceded by the Prophet William Branham (Malachi 4:5, 6b; Revelation 10:7); but when he was rejected along with his Message the world church system refused the Logos and fullness of the Word he introduced. "And because they rejected the love of the Truth, that they might be saved, God has sent them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the Truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness . . . seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh" (II Thessalonians 2:11-12; Hebrews 6:6).

A vindicated prophet is a sign warning of imminent judgment. The Word of God comes only to a prophet, so if God has vindicated a prophet as His spokesman it means He has a Message to deliver. Multitudes witnessed and benefited from the miracles and healings of Brother Branham's vindication and believed Him to be God's prophet, yet scarcely any waited on the Message, and most who heard or read his 'third pull' walked away because it disagreed with their human understanding. Yet they acknowledged his vindication.

Please follow me in your Bible, beginning with Revelation 1:1. "The Revelation (Gk.) apokalupsis or unveiling of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him, to show unto His servants the things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel [William Branham] to His servant John: who bore witness of the Logos of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, even of all things that he saw [in the visions on Patmos Island]."

The angel of Revelation 1:1 who spoke with and directed John throughout The Revelation of Jesus Christ was William Branham (Revelation 3:14; 10:7; 22:6-10). Jesus Christ broke the Seals and revealed their mysteries to his seventh angel in 1963, and from 95 to 96 John was caught up in the Spirit into the Lord's Day which is yet future and communicated with Brother Branham per medium of visions as he revealed these mysteries from 1963 to 1965. Jesus revealed the mystery of the Seven Seals to His Prophet after Christ's mediation, redemption, and the Laodicean Church Age were over. Since he revealed his Message only to John and Christ's end-time Bride we know that throughout the Book of Revelation John represents the end-time Bride just as in chapter four of Ezekiel, that prophet represented first the House of Israel and then the House of Judah.

"Blessed is he who reads aloud, and those who hear the Logos of the prophecy [in public worship in the days before printing, private ownership of Bibles and literacy], and heed the things which are written therein: for the (Gk.) kairos [opportunity or decision] time is at hand" [for these prophecies to be revealed as they unfolded through successive Church Ages].

There is an emphatic present blessing on the reader and upon the listeners whose mutual duty is to strive to understand these eschatological prophecies and observe what they have understood. It is not intended that all will attain to a full and complete understanding of all prophecies, but all are duty bound to study: much important understanding will be withheld from the negligent. Those who understand and become written epistles of "the present Truth" for their day will be born-again. Jesus rebuked the Jews and His disciples for not understanding prophecies relating to His first Coming (Matthew 16:3; Luke 24:25; John 5:39, 46).

Revelation 1:4-8, "John to the seven Church Ages: Grace to you, and peace, from Him [the ever-present (NOT omnipresent] I Am] who is and who was and who comes; and from the seven portions of the Holy Spirit that are before His throne (Revelation 5:6; Zechariah 3:9; 4:6-10); and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born of the dead (Colossians 1:18; I Corinthians 15:20, 23), and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us, and loosed us from our sins in His own Blood (Acts 20:28; Ephesians 1:7; I Peter 1:19; Revelation 5:9), [this was not human blood for Jesus was not born of human intercourse but was the Logos manifest in flesh as "the beginner and author of the new creation of God-men" (Revelation 3:12). [As the continuation of the same creation begotten by the Spoken Word] He has made us [New Testament saints a continuation of Himself] a kingdom, priests unto His God and Father; to Him be glory and dominion forever and into the ages of the ages. Amen."

Brother Branham taught: "Since it is the Blood of God, it is perfect blood; and if the perfect blood is loosing us from the power and bondage and defilement of sin, then the loosing is perfect and complete. There is now therefore no condemnation. "Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies (declares us righteous). Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died . . ." (Romans 8:33-34). There it is, His death gave us the Blood. The Blood has loosed us. There is now no condemnation. How can there be? There is nothing to be condemned for, because the Blood has loosed us from sin. We are free, guiltless. Don't listen to man, listen to the Word. You are loosed by the Blood.

"Now don't get tied down again by traditions and creeds and organizations. Don't be led astray by listening to those that deny the power of the Word and deny that Jesus saves, heals, fills with the Holy Ghost and power. You are God's free men, loosed by His own Blood. If you still hold your faith to creeds and denominations, it is certain by the evidence that you have lost your faith in the Word (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 34:1 – 35:1).

The whole of divine Revelation, whose goal is "the restitution of all things [in the renewed heavens and earth] which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began" (Acts 3:21) is sealed in the earthen vessel of "the faithful witness, the first born of [the NEW CREATION]," our virgin-born kinsman Redeemer Jesus Messiah as typed in Jeremiah 32 (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 91:1-93:1; 117:4-119:2; 231:5-235:4; 282:1 - 283:5).

"Behold, He comes with the clouds; and every eye [all mankind] shall see Him, and they who pierced Him: and all tribes of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen" (Zechariah 12:10; Ezekiel 39:29; Daniel 7:13; Joel 2:28-30; Matthew 16:27; 24:30a; 26:64; Mark 14:62; John 19:37; Acts 1:9-11; Revelation 1:7).

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

"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 (Zechariah 14:9; Revelation 19:11-21). 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."

"This is the revelation story of Zechariah 12:9-14. [Israel's recognition of Christ's parousia (Revelation 14:1-5)]. 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 (Zechariah 12:9; Revelation 11:18-19). 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. 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 former or teaching rain of Christ's parousia through the Message of the Elijah of Malachi 4:5, 6b; Revelation 10:7] 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, even so the Gentiles will take it right back to the Jews Israelites [in Gentile apostasy after the close of the Gentile dispensation Romans 11:21-32], and the Rapture will come".

"Now, remember what we have read in Revelation and Zechariah. Both come right after the tribulation. The Church of the First-born does not go through the tribulation. We know that. The Bible teaches that."

"At that time it says that God is going to pour out His Spirit upon the house of Israel. It is the same Spirit that was poured upon the Gentiles in their day. "And they shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and they shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born. In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddon. And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart . . ." and each one of the houses apart when He comes in clouds of glory at His Second Coming. Those Jews that pierced Him shall see Him as it says in another Scripture, "Whence did You get those wounds?" and He will say, "In the house of My friends." Not only will it be a mournful time for the Jews who rejected Him as Messiah, but it will be a mournful time for those left of the Gentiles who have rejected Him as the Saviour of this day" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 36:3 – 37:2).

The Prophet continues, "Now getting back to the story of Joseph meeting his brethren. You recall that not all the brethren came. Joseph knew that and insisted that all the brethren appear before him, or he could not make himself known unto them. Finally they brought the one that was missing, little Benjamin. It was little Benjamin, the full [blood] brother of Joseph, that set his soul on fire. And when our Joseph, even Jesus, comes to the people who have kept the commandments of God and gone back to Palestine, His soul will be set on fire. Little Benjamin typifies the 144,000 Israelites from all over the earth who have gone back to Palestine for their redemption [not Jews, Edomites, Khazars or proselytes but sons of Jacob]. They will be standing there ready to receive Him, Whom to know aright is Life eternal. They will say, "This is our God for Whom we have waited." Then they will see Him Whom they have pierced. And they will cry out in dismay, "Where did these awful wounds come from? How did it happen?" And they will wail and cry, every family apart, each one apart in the agony of sorrow".

"Now where will the Gentile Church be while Jesus is making Himself known to His brethren? Remember that the bride of Joseph with the two children were in the palace, for Joseph had commanded, "Let everyone leave me; put them all out from before me." So the Gentile bride was hidden in the palace of Joseph. Where will the Gentile Church go in the rapture? Into the palace. 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 (Revelation 19:1-9). 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 (Revelation 19:11-14). 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 (ibid, p. 40:2).

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who comes, the All-ruler [Supreme Deity]." He is the principle and the final goal, the Logos at the beginning and the Logos restored at the end; He was not the PART-Word in-between.

Revelation 1:9-11, "I John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation [throughout the Christian dispensation (I Thessalonians 2:14-16; Matthew 24:21-22; Luke 11:52; Revelation 1:9; 2:9; 7:14; 20:4)] and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the Logos of God, and for the testimony of Jesus. I was in the Spirit in the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a voice loud as a trumpet, saying, What you see, write into a Book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea".

In accordance with prophetic form, John begins his Book with the announcement of his calling and commission. His companionship with us has its foundation in Jesus, in fellowship with Jesus as a partaker in present tribulation while the Kingdom is only in hope, patiently enduring affliction in a hostile world for His name's sake, looking forward to the glory of the Kingdom (Acts 14:22; Colossians 1:24; II Timothy 2:10-12).

John was on the Isle of Patmos when he heard a loud Voice with the urgency of a trumpet sounding an alarm for Israel to break camp for the end of man's day; and John was caught up in the Spirit of the Lord to "the Day of Vengeance of our God" (Isaiah 61:2b). Indeed the vision is set after the Seventh Trump announced the close of the Christian dispensation and with both feet firmly on Patmos Island John was caught up in the Spirit into the visions of the apocalypse in the Lord's Day. Behind him (as he looked back through time) "loud voices in heaven declared: The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever" (Matthew 24:31, I Thessalonians 4:16; I Corinthians 15:52; Revelation 11:15).

The Voice that spoke with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, with Moses on Mount Sinai and to the three disciples on Mount Transfiguration was now speaking to the seven Church Ages with a complete and final revelation of Jesus Christ for John to record for posterity. Of the many churches in proconsular Asia (such as Miletus, Magnesia and Tralles), the natural characteristics of the churches in these seven cities were representative of the chief spiritual characteristics of seven future universal dispensations of the Church, or Church Ages.

Revelation 1:12-20, "And I turned about to see the Voice that was speaking with me. And having turned about, I saw seven golden lampstands" [as described in Zechariah 4:1-6] whose Light is eternal Life to those who can receive and become "written epistles" thereof. And in the midst of the seven lampstands One like unto the Son of man, clothed with a [festal or priestly] garment reaching to the foot, girt round at the breasts [not as a working dress, about the loins], with a golden girdle" signifying Christ glorified in the midst of the Churches, He is no longer a mediator in the office Son of God; it is the Day of the Lord and as Son of man He is the coming Judge (Isaiah 11:1-5; Daniel 7:13; John 5:22; 12:48; Revelation 4:14; 15:6).

"His head and His hairs were like white wool, as snow [signifying experience, maturity, and wisdom (Daniel 7:9-14)]; and His eyes were as a flame of fire; [the day of mercy is over; He stands as Judge with flaming eyes to mete out judgment]; and His feet like unto a stream of molten brass as it had glowed in the furnace; [His brazen feet have withstood the test of the fiery furnace, a test no other has gone through. Brass signifies divine Judgment, a judgment God decreed and brought to pass (John 3:14-19). Judgment was already passed on Him when in God's foreknowledge He was slain from the foundation of the world when as yet there were no sinners]; and His voice as the sound of many waters [multitudes of witnesses, who by the Holy Spirit all through the ages have testified to Christ and preached His Gospel]: and having in His right hand seven stars [which are the angels to the Church]: and going forth out of His mouth went a two-edged sword [which is the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12; Revelation 19:11-16)]: and His countenance as the sun shining in its strength" [He is the glory of God, and God is Light. New Jerusalem will have no need of the sun or moon to lighten it, for the Lamb is the Light (Revelation 21:23; Malachi 4:2; Matthew 16:28; 17:1-13).

"And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last and the living One; and I was dead and, behold, I am living unto the ages of the ages, and I have the keys of hades" (the grave, death).

"What is there to fear? The judgment that fell upon Him at the cross, at the grave, and when He descended, was for us. He absorbed the full brunt of the wound of sin and there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus . . . He is both "Attorney" and "Judge." As Judge the "case is settled"—it is finished. There is now therefore no condemnation. Why should the church fear? What promise has He ever failed to manifest before us? Why should it fear punishment or death? It has all been overcome. Here is the mighty conqueror. Here is the One Who conquered both worlds of the seen and unseen".

[A man fully surrendered to God is omnipotent. Jesus said, "All things for which you pray, believe that you have received them, and don't doubt in your heart, and they shall be granted you" (Mark 11:24). When God and man meet through omnipotence it creates a power that brings things to pass. Brother Branham described the vision of "one like unto the Son of man" in verses 14-18 as "the sevenfold glory of His Person," and "His sevenfold Personage" because it is Christ's elect Bride drawn out from the world to become His Body and His Voice to judge the world in righteousness (I Corinthians 6:2). Through our invisible union we are One with our Lord and as His image we are His glory].

"Write therefore the things which you have seen [in the vision (Revelation 1:11-20)], and both the things which are [the Seven Church Ages], and the things which are about to happen after these things [the breach between the Church Ages and the Seals, the birth of Israel in one day, the consummation and "restitution of all things" to wit the images, symbols and truths which are yet be disclosed]. As to the mystery of the seven stars which you saw upon My right hand, and the seven lampstands of gold: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lampstands are the seven churches".

Brother Branham divided the Book of revelation thus: "Now, Revelation, the first three chapters, deals with the Church, then the Church disappears. We see it no more until the end time. From Revelation 1 to 3, is the Church; Revelation 4 to 19, is Israel, a nation; and 19 to 22, is both together, and the plagues and the warnings, and so forth, at the end! Set in three parts" (The Revelation of Jesus Christ, p. 13:24).

"He stands amidst the lampstands, with the stars under pre-eminence in His right hand. God's power and authority are behind His messengers who go forth in the fire and power of the Holy Ghost with the Word to every Age. It is night, for that is when we use lamps for light, and that is when the stars are seen shining and reflecting the light of the sun. The church is walking by faith in the darkness. Her Lord departed this earth but the Holy Spirit still shines out through the Church, giving Light to this old sin-cursed world. And those stars reflect His Light also. The only Light they have is His Light. How dark it is—how spiritually cold. Yet when He comes into the midst it is light and warm; the Church is empowered and through Him she does the works that He did." (Brother Branham's teaching on Revelation chapters 1 – 3 may be studied in An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 43-65).

As we have taught on the Church Ages in earlier Newsletters and since all seven Church Ages are fulfilled we will proceed to the holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal feast in which we live. The Laodicean Church Age ended in apostasy at Revelation 3:22 in March, 1963, "and knows it not." Fifty-four years later the Pentecostals plod around a spiritual wilderness behind Baptists, Methodists and Lutherans impersonating earlier Church Ages chasing a mirage of the Word for a day gone by. Christ's mediation for the ignorance of the Church Age saints on the fullness of the Word ended, and redemption was over at Revelation 3:22. The Church Age saints are made up and the Church will not appear until she returns with her Lord in Revelation 19, gloriously washed in the Blood.

Revelation 4:1-2, "After these things I . . . (insert your name here because throughout the Book of Revelation John represent's Christ's end-time Bride) . . . . saw, and beheld Jesus Christ—the door standing open in heaven [after the PART-Word saints had entered]: and that first voice which I heard as a trumpet speaking with me [Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:10, 13)]; said, Come up hither, and I will show you things which must be hereafter. Immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne stood in heaven, and One sat on the throne".

If you are in Christ's end-time Bride your name was in the Lamb's Book of Life from the foundation of the world, and you were represented by John, caught up in the rapture, for we are all one Body. It is possible you were not even conceived when Laodicea ended, and you almost certainly did not hear the "shout" of Brother Branham's Message until many years later (I Thessalonians 4:16; Matthew 25:6). We know this is so because "I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing" (Revelation 5:11-12). You were one of those elect angels or theophanies, as you were "called according to His purpose," reckoned crucified in Christ on Calvary where you paid the wages of sin and justified when "He was raised for our justification" (Romans 4:25; 8:28-33; II Corinthians 5:13-18). There is no 'double jeopardy'.

"For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies".

Revelation 4:3-11, "He who sat upon the throne was in appearance like a jasper and sardine stone [the birth stones of Reuben and Benjamin, Jacob's first and last as Jesus is Alpha, Omega; the beginning and the ending; He that was, which is and shall come; the Root and Offspring of David]: and there was a [full 360°] rainbow encircling the throne, in sight like an emerald. Round the throne were twenty-four thrones seating twenty-four elders, clad in white robes, with golden crowns on their heads. Out of the throne issued lightnings and voices and thunders: and before the throne burned seven lamps of fire, which are the seven measures of the Holy Spirit [that anointed the Messengers to the Church Ages; having finished their work on earth they stand before the throne which is now a judgment seat]. And before the throne was a sea of glass as clear as crystal [typing the laver in Jerusalem's temple and signifying that the sins of the Church Age saints were remitted]."

Four Living Creatures"Around the throne on each side were four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind. The first living being was like a lion; the second living being like a calf; the third living being had the face of a man; and the fourth living being like a flying eagle. They each had six wings, and were full of eyes round about and within: and neither by day nor by night do they cease singing, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God All-ruler [Supreme Deity], who was, and is, and who comes".

"And whenever the living creatures render praise and honour and thanksgiving to He who is seated on the throne, Who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and dominion: for You have created all things, and by Your will they existed and were created".


The Bible is the story of God changing His form or unfolding Himself from the eternal Spirit alone with His thoughts to their manifestation in the flesh of His glorified Family (Ephesians 1:3-23). Jesus Christ is the Author and Beginner of this new creation of God-men.

I Corinthians 15:22-28, "As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own rank, regiment, or dispensation: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at His (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming. [Christ's end-time Bride and the 144,000 elect Israelites. After the 144,000 elect Israelites are born-again and martyred "in the great and dreadful day of the Lord" in the latter half of Daniel's Seventieth Week when Israel's two Witnesses have fulfilled their commission "the Son of man will come in His Kingdom" (Matthew 16:28 – 17:10, 13). Then God will smite the earth with a curse for the consummation of life and we will "step out on the atomic ashes of the wicked into the millennium" (Malachi 4; Matthew 3:11-12). The general resurrection and White Throne Judgment will follow]. Then comes the end, when He delivers up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign, until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For He has put all things under His feet. But when He says, all things are put in subjection, it is manifest that He is excepted, who put all things in subjection to Him. And when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be subjected to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all". nl987.htm
