Bible Believers' Newsletter #532
"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.
In this issue, current news wins more space than our main article because in spite a controlled mass media the character and activities of those working to realize Lucifer's totalitarian one world government are increasingly exposed to the Light. We are fast approaching the climax of the Gentile dispensation: knowledge has increased, the wicked are doing wickedly, and only the wise with a more sure Word of prophecy will understand. The wheat and the tares are both ripe for harvest. The tares are being bound together by chains of iniquity in false "Free Trade" agreements, globalization, multiculturalism, and a World Council of Churches, ready for hellfire, while the present Truth is separating the Wheat Bride into the unity of the faith in preparation for the manifestation of the Sons of God and our gathering into His garner.
In this week's news Pharisaism and Catholicism finally admit they are mother and daughter as history and the Bible record. Although theirs is not a loving relationship, these hostile partners are two of the more visible and prominent players in the quest for world hegemony. Each of these tragedians impersonating Scripture will be destroyed once they have played their treacherous roles, as it is written (Isaiah 63:1-6; Daniel 9:27). In their apostasy God has sent them a strong delusion to believe what is false, so that they are not impersonating but actually fulfilling Scripture that they might be damned for not believing the Truth but taking pleasure in wickedness (Matthew 23:33; Revelation 2:20-23). Their darkness is palpable to those blessed with eyes that can see and ears that can hear (Matthew 13:16).
Last week we quoted Isaiah 1:2 which spoke of the blindness of apostate Israel at the close of the Old Testament and the parallel with apostate Christendom today at the close of grace (Romans 11:32). God said, "The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel does not know Me; My people do not care." This week's news items disclose the face and character of those who, during the tribulation, will be absolute masters of all who do not know the Lord.
The greatest Man in history had no servants, yet they called Him Master. He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us and died, rising again that you and I might have Life more abundantly.
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.
Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony Grigor-Scott

RBS issues Global Stock and Credit Crash Alert
June 19, 2008 – The Royal Bank of Scotland has advised clients to brace for a full-fledged crash in global stock and credit markets over the next three months as inflation paralyses the major central banks. . .
A report by the bank's research team warns that the S&P 500 index of Wall Street equities is likely to fall by more than 300 points to around 1050 by September as "all the chickens come home to roost" from the excesses of the global boom, with contagion spreading across Europe and emerging markets. Such a slide on world bourses would amount to one of the worst bear markets over the last century. . . Full story: telegraph.co.uk
Support for euro in doubt as Germans reject Latin bloc notes. Ordinary Germans have begun to reject euro bank notes with serial numbers from Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal, raising concerns that public support for monetary union may be waning in the eurozone's anchor country.

Morgan Stanley warns of 'catastrophic event' as ECB fights Federal Reserve. The clash between the European Central Bank and the US Federal Reserve over monetary strategy is causing serious strains in the global financial system and could lead to a replay of Europe's exchange rate crisis in the 1990s. . . Washington has slashed rates to bail out the banks and prevent an economic hard-landing, while Frankfurt has stuck to its hawkish line. . . Full story: telegraph.co.uk

John Paul II taught Universal Salvation, that All Men will be Saved
The Heresies of John Paul II, the most traveled man in history and perhaps the most heretical.
The only difficulty in discussing the heresies of John Paul II is deciding where to begin. His heresies are so numerous that one is almost overwhelmed with the decision of where to start. A good place to begin is his consistent teaching of universal salvation. The idea that all men are saved is contrary to the clear words of the Gospel and numerous Catholic dogmas, especially the dogmas that outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation and that all who die in original sin or mortal sin cannot be saved. . .
With a doctrine such as this, who wouldn't be loved by the world? John Paul II appealed to, and was loved by the masses, because he accepted everyone's religion and taught that everyone is united with Christ no matter what they believed or did. This religious indifferentism characterized his anti-pontificate. . . In taking part in a Jewish worship service, John Paul II committed a public act of apostasy, and showed again that he was a manifest heretic and an apostate. . . John Paul II and the rabbi greeted each other as if they were long-lost best friends. During his stay at the synagogue, John Paul II bowed his head as the Jews prayed for the coming of their "Messiah."

Jewish Author George Orwell (Alias Eric Blair) warned the World
Are you an unintentional anti-Semite? The US State Department's "Office of Global Anti-Semitism" warns not just of conscious, intentional anti-Semitism but of another lurking form of potential bigotry: unintentional anti-Semitism. . . this consists of criticisms of Israel which, though true, might be manipulated by others to Israel's detriment. To avoid assisting Israel's enemies, the State Department recommends that every comment about Israel (including its leaders and military) first be scrutinized for whether it could put Israel in a bad light. If so, it shouldn't be said. Only then can we consider ourselves both consciously and unconsciously free from anti-Semitism.
Today, evangelicals reflexively honor the code that, no matter how true an unflattering fact or opinion about Jews may be, it will not be repeated. As a result of a century of self-censorship, tens of millions of evangelicals live in a virtual iron curtain of exclusion of truth about Jews, Judaism and Israel. Taught to see, hear, and speak no evil of Israel, they subsist on a religious and political diet of Zionist-approved pabulum. The magnitude of truth that has never been allowed to reach them is encyclopedic.
Evangelicals think that, by only speaking well of Jews, they are beyond the reproach of ever being labeled anti-Semitic. Wrong. The state department says that if Christians believe the New Testament account that Jewish leaders had Christ crucified they are the very worst kind of anti-Semites: 'classical' anti-Semites. . . Because statements of truth affirm reality, they are akin to God Himself, the ultimate Reality. Jesus said, "Thy Word is truth" (John 17:17).

Rome and the Jews: Noahide Laws in the News
The Kosher-Catholic Paulist Press published Elijah ben Abraham Benamozegh's (1823-1900) "Noahide" tome "Israel and Humanity" as a "Classic of Western Spirituality." Israel and Humanity forms a grand synthesis of Benamozegh's religious thought. It is at once a wide-ranging summa of scriptural, Talmudic, Midrashic, and Kabbalistic ideas, and an intensely personal account of Jewish identity. It is also a systematic, meticulously reasoned philosophy of Judaism in its relation to the other religions of mankind, especially its daughter religions, Christianity and Islam.
The Anti-Defamation League's Interfaith Affairs Director Emeritus Rabbi Leon Klenicki who champion's the Kabbalist Elijah Benamozegh's attempt to transform Christendom into a "Noahide" Golem, was made a papal knight by Benedict XVI in 2007.
In 1998 Rabbi Knight Leon Klenicki launched an inquisition against the heresy of "Holocaust denial" saying, "The deniers of the Holocaust in Europe now have to deal with the Vatican."
I hope that opponents of "dual-covenant" theory will read this interview closely because it reveals a truth regarding this theory that is missed by most investigators, which is, "dual-covenant" theory is the "Noahide Laws." According to the Rabbis, "Jews" have their own exclusive covenant and the other "70 Nations" have another non-Biblical, lower-tier covenant which the rabbis contrived for them which culminates in the Talmudic "Noahide Laws."
Never forget that when the rabbis and the bishops "dialogue" about "dual-covenant" theory, that it's the Talmudic "Noahide covenant" that applies for Christians, not the Biblical covenants. Their challenge is to make the Talmudic "Noahide Laws" appear to be Biblical. We saw a Vatican attempt at this impossible task last year:
Papal Commission Promotes Noahide Laws.
This is all pretended in accordance with the popular delusion that Christianity is the "daughter religion" of rabbinic Judaism–a ridiculous proposition if there ever was one.
Did you know that the ADL has an office in the Vatican? Did you know that the Anti-Defamation League's Director of Catholic-Jewish Relations, Papal Knight, Dr. Joseph L. Lichten, was a major player at the Second Vatican Council? As head of ADL's Vatican Liaison Office, he was given the rare gift of an office in the Vatican itself and he continued to teach at the North American college, where only the finest young Americans studying for the priesthood are privileged to attend.
During the deliberations of the Second Vatican Council, he gave every bishop a copy of an ADL-sponsored survey of American anti-Semitism which pointed out the influence of the deicide charge on American Catholics. The final Council vote on Nostra Aetate showed the church's special concern and Joe Lichten's profound influence. . .
Comment: Roman Catholicism is a true daughter of Talmudic Judaism, which is Pharisaism. Christianity is the prophetic fulfilment of Yahweh Torah, the faith of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, of Moses and the prophets of Israel. There can be no concord between Christ and the Babylonian religions of either Judaism or its Judaeo-Roman Catholic daughter (Amos 3:3; II Corinthians 6:14-18).
Rabbi Ovadia Yoseph, spiritual head of Israel's Shahs party, argued in a 1989 article that although Israel is not yet strong enough to expel and destroy "churches [which] are definitely places of idolatry and cult practice. . . we are commanded by our Law to destroy all idolatry and its servants until we uproot it from all parts of our land and any areas that we are able to conquer" (Dr. Israel Shahak and Professor Norton Mezvinsky, Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel, 1999).
Since Talmudic Judaism considers Christians idolaters of the false god Jesus, the rabbi is teaching that if things were as he believes they one day shall be, all Christian "idolaters" should be killed worldwide!
The people of the earth are idolaters, and it has been written about them: Let them be wiped off the face of the earth. Destroy the memory of the Amalekites (Talmud, Bereshith, 25a).
Rabbi Jehudah said to him, [Rabbi Chezkia]): "He is to be praised who is able to free himself from the enemies of Israel, and the just are much to be praised who get free from them and fight against them." Rabbi Chezkia asked, "How must we fight against them?" Rabbi Jeduha said: "By wise counsel thou shalt war against them." (Proverbs 24:6) By what kind of war? The kind of war that every son of man must war against his enemies, which Jacob used against Esau—by deceit and trickery wherever possible. They must be fought against without ceasing, until proper order be restored. Thus it is with satisfaction that I say we should free ourselves from them and rule over them" (Zohar, I, 160a).
Are these the ravings of bigoted medieval rabbis, too absurd to be taken seriously by modern religious Jews? Quite the contrary. Ultra-orthodox settlers live and breathe the Zohar, as do their Hassidic brethren worldwide. The preface to the 1984 Soncino edition of The Zohar Volume 4 (of 5 volumes translated by Sperling and Simon) says:
"The Zohar appeals to many Jews in a way that makes them regard it as the most sacred of sacred books! For it mirrors Judaism as an intensely vital religion of the spirit. More overpoweringly than any other book or code, more even than the Bible, does it give the Jew the conviction of an inner, unseen spiritual universe—an eternal moral order" (p. 12).
Kabbalistic "mystic sentiment and emotion," the preface continues, is "indispensable to Judaism if it is to continue to play its predestined part in bringing mankind 'under the wings of the shekinah,'" (i.e. Jewish world domination. p. 25).
The Christians are idolaters,[1][1] and Sunday is their holiday . . . (Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Avodah Zorah, 9;4).
The Christians are worshipers of Avodah Zorah [idolatry] (Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Ma'akhalot Assurot, 11:7).
It is a mitzvah [religious duty], however, to eradicate Jewish traitors, minim, and apikorsim, [sincere Jewish converts to Christianity] and to cause them to descend to the pit of destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and sway the people away from God, as did Jesus of Nazareth and his students, and Tzadok, Baithos, and their students. May the name of the wicked rot (Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Chapter 10).
". . . a gentile who worships false gods is liable, [for the death penalty] provided he worships them in the accepted manner. A gentile is executed for every type of foreign worship which a Jewish court would consider worthy of capital punishment (Maimonides, Hilchot Melachim XI, Mishneh Torah).
The Talmud corroborates Maimonides' judgment:
A non-Jew is put to death on the basis of a decision given by one judge [no jury], and on the basis of testimony given by a single witness, and even if he was not given a proper warning prior to the commission of his offense. He is put to death on the basis of testimony and a decision given by a man but not on the basis of testimony and a decision given by a woman, and the man who testified or decided against him can even be a relative. A Jew can only be put to death by a court of twenty-three judges, and on the basis of the testimony of two male witnesses who are not disqualified from testifying on account of kinship, and after being properly warned against committing the transgression. But none of these rules apply in the case of a non-Jew (Talmud, Sanhedrin 57b, Steinsaltz edition, vol.18, page 110).
The Jewish Encyclopedia affirms that the punishment for Christian "idolatry" is beheading.[2][2].
The Talmud is quite clear on the matter (Jesus and His followers are idolaters and liable for death—"Surely he [Jesus of Nazareth] incited others to idol worship and regarding such a person the Torah says (Deuteronomy 13:9): 'You shall not spare nor shall you conceal him'. . ." (Talmud, Sanhedrin 43a, Steinsaltz edition p. 159) and the Talmud is accepted as dispositive by a majority of Judaic sects.
"The Bavli [Babylonian Talmud] has formed the definitive statement of Judaism from the time of its closure to the present day" (Rabbi Jacob Neusner, quoted by Norman F. Cantor, The Sacred Chain: A History of the Jews, page 112).
Pope Benedict XVI calls Rabbi Jacob Neusner a "great Jewish scholar" (Jesus of Nazareth, Benedict XVI, p.71). ". . . the Babylonian Talmud represents God in the flesh. . ." (Rabbi Jacob Neusner, Rabbinic Judaism, Minneapolis MN: Augsburg Fortress, 1995. p. 62).
"You are adam ["man"], but goyim [gentiles] are not called adam ["man"]" (Kerithoth 6b).
". . . 'living soul' designates Israel because they are children of the Almighty, and their souls, which are holy, come from Him. From whence come the souls of other peoples? R[abbi] Eleazar said: 'They obtain souls from those sides of the left which convey impurity, and therefore they are all impure and defile those who have contact with them.' . . .'living soul' refers to Israel, who have holy living souls from above, and 'cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth,' to the other peoples who are not 'living soul,' but who are as we have said" (Bereshith 47a. Here is the root of the "Two Souls" heresy).
Some of the Turks and the nomads in the North, and the Blacks and the nomads in the South, and those who resemble them in our climates. And their nature is like the nature of mute animals, and according to my opinion they are not on the level of human beings, and their level among existing things is below that of a man and above that of a monkey, because they have the image and the resemblance of a man more than a monkey does (Maimonides, Guide for the Perplexed, Book III, chapter 51][3]).

George W Bush meets Pope amid claims He might convert to Catholicism
June 13, 2008 – After a stroll through the Vatican gardens, the men listened to a recital by the choir of the Sistine Chapel. . . A source close to the Vatican said that Mr. Bush was the most "Catholic-minded" president since John F. Kennedy, who famously played down his Catholicism. . . However, it is thought unlikely that Mr. Bush would convert until after he has left office. Jeb Bush, the president's brother, has already converted to Catholicism.
Catholics have noted that during the contested election in 2000, Jeb Bush traveled to Mexico and prayed to the icon of Our Lady of Guadeloupe. His victory was announced by the Supreme Court on December 12, the feast day of the Lady of Guadeloupe. Full story: telegraph.co.uk

EU Dictators may ram through Lisbon Treaty Despite Irish Rejection
June 13, 2008 – Spearheaded by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the EU and its member states, in their relentless pursuit of a federal superstate, may break its own laws and ram through the Lisbon Treaty despite it being rejected by Irish voters today.
Under EU laws, if one of its member states rejects a treaty, the EU is mandated to scrap the bill. But the European Union's contempt for direct democracy is likely to lead them to ignore the Irish referendum and pursue the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty anyway – underscoring the fact the EU is nothing more than an illegitimate dictatorship of manufactured consent. . . Today's surprise rejection of the treaty has been met with total arrogance by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown whom, according to reports, called French President Nicolas Sarkozy, "to assure him that British ratification would continue". . .

John McCain's Chilling Project for America
June 12, 2009 – John McCain has long been a major player in a radical militaristic group driven by an ideology of global expansionism and dominance attained through perpetual, pre-emptive, unilateral, multiple wars. The credo of this group is "the end justifies the means," and the end of establishing the United States as the world's sole superpower justifies, in its estimation, anything from military control over the information on the Internet to the use of genocidal biological weapons. Over its two terms, the George W. Bush administration has planted the seeds for this geopolitical master plan, and now appears to be counting on the McCain administration, if one comes to power, to nurture it. . .

B'Tselem – The Israeli Center for the Investigation of Human Rights in the Occupied Territories
June 13, 2008 – For the past year, B'Tselem has handed out video cameras to Palestinians as part of its "Shooting Back" project. The BBC has been given exclusive access to the footage of this particular attack. . . Over the brow of the hill walk four masked men holding baseball bats. To the right of the screen, in the foreground, stands a 58-year-old Palestinian woman. Thamam al-Nawaja has been herding her goats close to the Jewish settlement of Susia, near Hebron in the southern West Bank. Within a few seconds, she, along with her 70-year-old husband and one of her nephews, will be beaten up.
As the first blows land, the woman filming—the daughter-in-law of the elderly couple—drops the camera and runs for help. Mrs. Nawaja spent three days in hospital after the attack. . . A dark stain showed through the white gauze covering her broken right arm. Her veil was lifted gingerly away from her lined face. A bloodshot eye and intersection of scars revealed a fractured left cheek.
"The settlers gave us a 10-minute warning to clear off from the land," she told me, her voice a tired, cracked whisper. She and her husband had stood their ground. It is at this point that her voice grows louder. "They don't want us to stay on our land. But we won't leave. We'll die here. It's ours," she added. . .

Global Warming: the Scientific Hoax Exposed
If there ever were a layer of "greenhouse" gases which is reflecting heat from the earth and raising the temperature of the earth, then it should still be there as a gaseous layer at night. Why would it go away just when the sun goes down? It couldn't and it wouldn't. But if that "greenhouse" layer did exist . . . on a clear starry night . . . you could not feel the cold of outer space since the "greenhouse" gases would reflect heat back to your hand, just like a cloud, and you couldn't feel the cold of space. It would be just like a cloudy night, but you would still see the stars. . . Thus proving that there is NO "greenhouse" gas layer which reflects heat back to earth . . . and never has been and never will be. . .
[N]o astronomer who measures the universal background radiation temperature has ever said, "We can't measure the temperature of space anymore because there is a huge reflective greenhouse layer which measures 300 degrees Kelvin. So we can't see the 3 degrees Kelvin background anymore." No astronomer has ever said that, thus proving absolutely, there is NO "greenhouse" gas layer. Absolutely none. Any, even slight greenhouse effect would raise the apparent background temperature of the night sky by hundreds of degrees. . .
This is a very simple and fun experiment which even kids can do and shows much about scientific principles. You take two balloons and blow them up to the same size, about one foot or so, depending on the size of the balloon. The size is not important, just simply that they are the same size when blown up with air. One of the principles of chemistry and thermodynamics is that if I have two balloons of the exact same size, they will have exactly the same number of molecules of gas in each one.
Advanced students can find out what that number of molecules is called and even how to calculate that number. But let's just call it one jillion molecules. Since the air is made up mostly of di-atomic molecules of Nitrogen and Oxygen, there are two atoms inside each molecule of air. So each balloon has exactly TWO jillion atoms inside. If they both have the same number of molecules and atoms then they should weigh exactly the same. If you hold up both balloons and then let go, they will slowly drift down to the floor. You've probably seen this a lot at birthday parties and such. You know what it looks like.
Now take one of the balloons and instead of air, blow it up to the same size with Carbon Dioxide gas. But the CO2 molecule is made of two atoms of Oxygen, just like the air, and then also has an extra Carbon atom inside each molecule. That's why it is called Carbon DiOxide—or one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms in each molecule of gas. So if I have the same size balloon filled with CO2, now instead of just two jillion atoms, this balloon contains THREE jillion atoms. That means the weight of the CO2 balloon is half again heavier than the balloon full of air. In science, that is called the specific gravity and for CO2, it is 1.5 times that of air, meaning it weighs half again more than 1.0 which is the specific gravity of air. This is like weighing two tennis balls, and then three tennis balls, and saying that three tennis balls weighs much more than just two tennis balls. Thus the CO2 balloon is much heavier than air. If you hold up the CO2 balloon and let go, it drops like a rock. Why? Because it is much heavier than air.
What this proves is that CO2 molecule which comes out of cars burning hydrocarbon fuels, does not make a gas which rises miles high up in the atmosphere and creates a thick layer of Carbon Dioxide which reflects heat and becomes a "greenhouse" layer gas. No! No! If you have ever watched smog coming from cars, it hangs close to the ground, and then disappears over night. At most it will rise up several hundred feet into the air during the daytime and no higher. Why does it disappear? Because all the components of smog, such as: CO2, Ozone and smoky unburned hydrocarbons are all much heavier than air, and over night when it is cool and calm they all sink to the ground. They do not magically rise up high, all by themselves, into the sky to become a high altitude "greenhouse" layer.
Hot air balloons can rise up in the air, but heavier-than-air craft, such as airplanes do not rise up all by themselves to become a thick layer of heavy airplanes floating in the sky. It will never happen, could never happen and has never happened. It cannot happen with CO2 which is also much heavier than air. And as I have just showed you, with these three simple experiments, which you can do yourself—you can prove it for yourself. . . Full story: brojon.org

The Former and Latter Rain – Part I
James 5:1-9, "Come now you wealthy, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your hoarded wealth has decayed, your fine clothes are motheaten, your gold and silver have rusted; and their rust will be evidence against you. As fire that you have stored up for the last days, it will eat your flesh."
"The cries of the labourers who have reaped your fields, whose wages you have kept back by fraud have reached into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. You have lived a life of ease and pleasure on earth, and been wanton; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned, you have killed the righteous man without his resisting you."
"Therefore endure patiently brethren, until the ['parousia'] Coming of the Lord. Take notice how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the soil, continuing patiently until he receives the former and latter rain. So you keep waiting patiently, and take courage, for the ['parousia'] Coming of the Lord is at hand." Christ's 'parousia' Coming was in 1963; He has come and He is present now. "Don't grumble against one another brethren, for you yourselves are not above criticism. Look! The Judge stands before the door" (John 5:22, 27)!!!
Tilling the ground and rearing cattle were the chief employments in ancient times (Genesis 2:15; 4:2-3, 12). The Egyptians excelled in agriculture, and after the Israelites entered into possession of the Promised Land agriculture became the basis of the Mosaic commonwealth. Their skill at once made Palestine into a garden.
Israel was an agrarian economy and their religious feasts followed the seasons ruled by the greater and lesser lights as the natural types the Spiritual (Genesis 1:14). As farming is dependent upon the former rainfall at seedtime and the latter rain before the beginning of harvest, so God's spoken Word requires heavy showers of blessing from heaven to quicken eternal Life in the soul of His elect, followed up by refreshing showers of the latter rain for the manifestation of the Sons of God and harvest-Home once the revelation of Christ's 'parousia' has brought us to maturity in the unity of the faith (Acts 3:19-21; Ephesians 4:13).
Rain seldom fell in Judea except at two seasons: the former rain at the end of autumn for seedtime; and the latter rain in spring before the beginning of harvest (Jeremiah 5:24). However, there are three Hebrew words used to denote the rains of different seasons:
Yowreh (Hosea 6:3), or mowreh (Joel 2:23), denotes the "former" or "early rains" which commence in Autumn in late October or the beginning of November, and continue to fall heavily for two months.
Malqowsh, the "latter" (Proverbs 16:15) or "Spring rains" fall in March and April, and serve to swell the grain then coming to maturity (Deuteronomy 11:14; Hosea 6:3). After this there is ordinarily no rain, the sky being bright and cloudless till October or November.
Geshem, "the rains," are heavy "Winter rains" that fall from mid-December to March. There is no prolonged fair weather in Palestine between October and March (Genesis 7:12; Ezra 10:9; Songs 2:11).
Rain is referred to symbolically as doctrine in Deuteronomy 32:2; as Messiah in Psalm 72:6; and as an anointing of the Holy Spirit in Joel 2:23.
In the natural, Autumn or early rains fall before sowing so there is moisture in the soil to fertilize the seed. The Hebrew word 'mowreh' also means "teacher" so in the Spiritual, the former rain is the teaching wherewith the Seed of God's Word planted in the soul of His elect by the spoken word of parents, Sunday school teachers or acquaintances later in life is quickened by hearing or reading the present Truth. This revelation gives the baptism with the Holy Ghost, or new birth.
God's elect may be one with no knowledge of the Lord, an unregenerate minister who has written and lectured in theology, a criminal or a plutocrat who has never grasped the revelation of the "letter" learned as a youth. Yet each in his appointed season will hear or read what, added to what he already knows, will generate understanding, causing Scripture to fit with Scripture and bringing Light on the present Truth. This is the new birth that reproduces new Life—God's own Life—in you. This is what took place at the inauguration of the Church on the day of Pentecost.
Jesus had said, "The Kingdom of God is not a geographical expanse to be observed with the eye. The Kingdom of God consists of the Word of God, and the Kingdom of God is within you. . ." when you see the revelation (Luke 17:20-23). The Pharisees and Judas Iscariot could not see, for Deuteronomy 29:4, Isaiah 6:9-10, Jeremiah 5:21 and Ezekiel 5:22 foretold Israel's Spiritual blindness as a nation (Romans 11:25). Jesus told the twelve, "Blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear" (Matthew 13:10-17).
As the vision was clearly understood the Kingdom was potentially in the hundred and twenty before they gathered in the upper room yet they could not be re-born until their sins were remitted when "the day of Pentecost was fully come." Then the Holy Spirit took residence in Christ's mystic Body, which He signified as the place of His rest or Temple by the visible Presence of the Shekinah, which divided itself and rested upon each of the inaugural members of the Church (Isaiah 66:1). This sign vindicated His Presence in the Tabernacle (Exodus 40:34-35), Solomon's Temple (I Kings 8:10-11), the Temple of Jesus Christ (Matthew 3:16-17), and will be His glorious banner of love over New Jerusalem in the new heavens and new earth (Revelation 21:22-23).
As no man could enter the Tabernacle or the Temple whilst the Shekinah of the Lord's Presence filled not only the Holy of Holies but the sanctuary and its courts, so the New Testament saints could not be glorified and enter the heavenly Temple until the seventh angel has poured out his Vial after the close of the Gentile dispensation in the ordeal of jealousy that will distinguish the foolish virgin from the harlot church (Revelation 15:8; 16:17).
At Pentecost the former or teaching rain fell upon the early Church which had a predominantly Hebrew congregation. In The Acts of the Holy Spirit in the Apostles 2:16-17 Peter said, "This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel: And it shall come to pass in the last days, said the Lord, I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh. . ." The same rain anointed the prophet Paul who had studied the Law and the prophets at the feet of Gamaliel, the leading teacher in his day. Paul had been a Pharisee and an elder among the Sanhedrin, whose seventy-one members were the chief priests or heads of the twenty-four courses, those who had been high priests, and the elders and scribes learned in the Law.
As a matter of interest, they tried cases of idolatry and false prophets. On this allegation Jesus, and subsequently Peter, John, Stephen, and Paul were brought before them (John 11:47). The Gemara states that the power of life and death was taken from them just forty years before the destruction of Jerusalem, coinciding with John 18:31-32. Hence they took Jesus before Pontius Pilate on a different charge to that of blasphemy, for which the Sanhedrin had condemned Him, viz. that of treason against Caesar, the only one which Pilate would have entertained. The stoning of Stephen was an illegal assumption of power, an outbreak of fanatical violence, as also the execution of the apostle James in the procurator's absence (Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, xx. 9:1).
After Paul was born-again and received his calling as an apostle, that great master of the Law and Prophets went down to Arabia to study in seclusion for three years. Based upon the shadows and types of the Old Testament he was inspired with "the faith once delivered unto the apostolic saints." Paul introduced the Gospel to the Gentiles, and as their numbers grew over the first three Church Ages, the signs ceased, "For Judeans require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom" (I Corinthians 1:22).
The former rain reproduced the Life of Christ in the apostolic saints who make up one of two wave loaves of the firstfruits of the Spirit that will be waved before the Lord in the manifestation of the Sons of God for the resurrection of the Church Age saints (Leviticus 23:17). Pentecost was the antitype of the last six days of Israel's feast of Unleavened Bread which types the pure Word of God before it became leavened (Leviticus 23:10-14).
Pentecost lasted from AD33 to about AD 53, followed by the antitype of the seven sabbaths or rests of the first forty-nine days of the Pentecostal feast (Leviticus 23:15; Revelation 1–3). The saints predestinated to each of these seven Church Ages were baptized into their part of the Body by a different revelation of the Word, a unique baptism with the Holy Spirit producing a different virtue of the Spirit as the Lord "lifted up a standard" against the insidious attacks of the Evil one who sowed the tares. In the Ephesian Age (53-170) the Church left her "first love," Christ the Word, and allowed tares of "Jewish fables" and the "deeds of the nicolaitanes" to enter and usurp the preeminence of Christ.
This indulgent attitude allowed false Jews and false Christians to enter the Church in the Smyrnean Age (170-312), so that in Pergamos (312-606) these apostates, in league with the Imperium, organized the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church at the First Nicea Council (AD325). Balaamism was introduced, which is the substitution of creeds and dogma such as the pagan Babylonian Trinity, baptism in three Titles and Apostles' Creeds (so-called) in place of the revealed Word of God. And the "deeds of the nicolaitanes" became "doctrine" in this Judaeo-Roman Catholic dogma. Nicolaitanism separates the ministers from the people and makes the leaders overlords instead of servants. By the end of this Age the church was predominantly Gentile, pagan, and papal Rome had become the actual seat or power of Satanic religion (Revelation 2:13).
In Thyatira (606-1520) the seed died in apostasy and went back into the ground through almost a thousand years of Dark Ages. It revived in the Reformation of the Judaeo-Roman Catholic system of false worship under the Sardis (1520-1750), Philadelphian (1750-1906) and Laodicean (1906-1963) Church Ages. In Laodicea, also called Pentecost, the believers began to speak with other tongues and the Lord showed signs and wonders. Because of the revival in the gifts of the Spirit, some people became over-enthusiastic and thought this was the latter rain. But this was not possible since the teaching rain had not been restored.
The teaching rain or former rain was Brother Branham's ministry after the close of Laodicean Pentecost to restore the apostolic faith:
Malachi 4:5-6, "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: and he shall turn the heart of the apostolic fathers to those predestinated to be children born of God. (This was the fruit of the ministry of John the Baptist, the Elijah of Malachi 3:1 and Isaiah 40:3, three years after his death as evidenced in Acts 2, etc). And return the heart of the children back to the faith of their apostolic fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." Or as Jesus said in Matthew 24:22, "Unless the days should be shortened (by the revelation of the Seven Seals "finishing the mystery of God" (Revelation 10:7) to call the "wise virgin" out from Mystery Babylon and her (once) Protestant daughter churches (Matthew 25:6; Revelation 18:4) "into the unity of the faith" (Ephesians 4:13) for "the manifestation of the Sons of God" (Romans 8:19) and the translation – I Corinthians 15:46-57), there should be no flesh saved" for the translation.
The children of Israel are God's servant nation not His Children; and John the Baptist restored nothing. John was ordained to forerun Messiah's first Coming; had he restored Israel back to the faith of the Patriarch he would have denied the Law and abrogated His divine commission. John "laid the axe to the root of all trees" (Matthew 3:10), cut down and uprooted the religious principles of Essenes, Herodians, Zealots, and Pharisees in order to introduce the Word of God; so the second "Elijah" of this prophecy could not have been John.
After they had seen a vision of the return of the glorified Jesus in the Millennium preceded by the ministry of a "Moses" and an "Elijah" to the 144,000 elect Israelites, "His disciples asked, Why do the scribes say that Elijah must first come? And Jesus answered, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things" (Matthew 17:11) ". . . God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began" (Acts 3:21). That could not have been John the Baptist.
Matthew 17:12-13, "But I tell you, That Elijah has already come, and they knew him not, but decapitated him. Likewise shall the Son of man also suffer at their hands. Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist".
God endues five men with the Spirit that anointed Elijah who was followed by Elisha with a double portion of the same Spirit (II Kings 2:12-15). The third "Elijah" was John the Baptist, fourth was William Branham to be followed by the two Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11 seen by the disciples in the vision on mount Transfiguration.
Revelation 10:7, "In the days of the voice of the angel to the Seventh or Laodicean Church Age, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as He has declared to His servants the prophets".
Brother Branham was the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and the angel to the Laodicean Church Age. His Message is the former or teaching rain that restores Christ's end-time Bride back to the faith of the apostolic fathers for the manifestation of the Sons of God under the latter rain following the sinking of Los Angeles at the close of the Gentile dispensation. This is when the two loaves of the Alpha and Omega Bride will be presented to the Lord for His approval.
Joel 2:23-25, "Be glad, O sons of Zion (Christ's Bride), and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He has given you the former rain teaching righteousness for your vindication, and He will pour down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain when first it is needed. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. And 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."
The Lutheran Age did not restore the church; it started a reformation. The Wesleyan Age did not restore. The Pentecostal Age did not restore. But God has to restore for He cannot deny His Word. This is not the resurrection of the Church; it is the "restoration." God has restored us right back to the Pentecost of the beginning. Verse 25 explains why we need restoration. The locust, cankerworm, caterpillar and palmerworm have eaten all but the root and a small bit of the stem. These are four stages in the life of the same insect. In the Spiritual realm they type Satan, the rider of the four horses of Revelation 6 in his attack upon the Christian Church under the first four Seals as the antichrist spirit manifested spiritual power, political power, demonic power and will soon incarnate himself in the pope, "that man of sin, the son of perdition." That poor little root and stalk is going to be restored. God is not going to plant a new Church, He is bringing His original planting back to original seed as stated in verse 23 by the teaching or former rain. The same teaching rain that instructed the early Church had to be restored to bring Christ's end-time Bride into the unity of the faith in preparation for the latter rain which will endue us with rapturing faith.
Luke 21:29-32, "Jesus told a parable; Observe the fig tree (Israel), and all the trees; (Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostals, Islam, and so forth), When they come into leaf you know by looking at them that summer (and the harvest of souls) is in the offing. In the same way, when you see these things taking place, be assured that the Kingdom of God is near. I assure you, all this will happen before this generation passes away".
The Reformation and all seven Church Ages are over. We are living under the Fourth Seal in which we are Spiritually redeemed, and under the Seventh Seal in which we have recognized the second or 'parousia' Coming of the Lord for our physical redemption. The Fifth Seal has been in process since Calvary, under which non-elect Israelites who die as martyrs for their testimony of the Law are "saved" because the Lord has allowed their denominational rabbis to blind them to the faith as the prophet foretold in order that Messiah might marry His Gentile Bride. Now God is baptizing His end-time Bride into the Capstone of the Body of the Church by the fullness of the Word through the revelation of the Seven Seals to restore His end-time Bride back to a W_O_R_D Bride like Her Word Groom.
Brother Branham said, "Jesus did NOT say no man could know the year, month or week in which His coming was to be completed" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 322:4). In the natural, the Spring or latter rain falls in the Passover month, at the end of March or early April to bring forward the crop toward full maturity and ripeness, so in the Spiritual the latter rain is our harvest rain. . . Now you know! This will be a fresh outpouring after the close of the Gentile dispensation at the sinking of Los Angeles to enable Christ's end-time Bride to operate the 'third pull' to vindicate that we are the Sons of God. When omnipotence speaks miracles happen! This manifestation of the spoken Word will raise faith in us so that we can change in the atoms and meet the Lord in the Air. nl532.htm

Intolerance in Israel
Israel signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 18 states: "Everyone has the right to . . . change his religion . . . and freedom . . . to manifest his religion or beliefs in teaching, practice, worship and observance."
Anti-Christianity in Israel increases. Legislation now pending in Knesset would not just deport but could imprison Christians. Here is the actual text of Israel's proposed anti-missionary law:
Prohibition of inducement for religious conversion 174C.
A) Whoever possesses contrary to the law or prints or reproduces or disseminates or distributes or imports tracts or publicizes things in which there is an inducement to religious conversion is punishable by—one year imprisonment.
B) Any tract or publication in which there is inducement to religious conversion will be confiscated.
This is exactly what Jesus prophesied would happen in the last days. Jewish leaders "will deliver you up to the courts, and scourge you in the synagogues" (Matthew 10:17). Full story: truthtellers.org

Scientists warn of Earthquake Danger
Pasadena, June 4, 2008 – Scientists and government officials sounded a warning to get ready for the largest earthquake drill in US history. "Prepare yourself for shaking that is bigger and longer than anything that has ever been experienced in Southern California," Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the US Geological Survey, said Wednesday.
He and other scientists stood before a packed Caltech auditorium to discuss the prospect of a 7.8-magnitude quake that could begin near the Salton Sea and surge northward along the San Andreas fault. . . The idea is that when the clock strikes 10 am that day, residents will . . . practice the "duck, cover and hold on" survival techniques that are familiar to anyone who has had to take cover under a school desk during childhood drills. . . Full story: dailybulletin.com
Comment: Doug Copp, Rescue Chief and Disaster Manager of American Rescue Team International (ARTI), the world’s most experienced rescue team advises do NOT duck and cover. "When buildings collapse, the weight of the ceilings falling upon the objects or furniture inside crushes these objects, leaving a space or void next to them; the person who is using this void for safety, say the aisle between school desks, will not be injured. If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by getting out the door or window, then lie down and curl up in the fetal position next to a sofa, or large chair".

B52 Nukes, Air Force Purge, Principals Committee, Brzezinski, Obama and China
Washington, June 7, 2008 – Power in Washington DC is no longer in the hands of the Bush-Cheney-neocon clique, but has passed to the Brzezinski-Trilateral faction. Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the firing of Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley, citing the failure of the Air Force to maintain the security of strategic nuclear forces, as shown in the infamous rogue B-52 incident of late August 2007, when a B-52 intercontinental strategic bomber with six nuclear armed cruise missiles flew from North Dakota to Louisiana totally outside of the purview of the USAF command control and communications systems. Gates also mentioned that four high-tech electrical nosecone fuses for Minuteman nuclear warheads were sent to Taiwan in place of helicopter batteries, along with other failures. . .
Obama's foreign policy will be dictated in every respect by Trilateral co-founder Brzezinski. Obama is now supported and surrounded by Trilateral members David Rockefeller, Jay Rockefeller, Joseph Nye, Paul Adolph Volcker, Jimmy Carter, and many more. With James "Rodney the Robot" Schlesinger now helping to purge the Pentagon, including its associated intelligence agencies, the Trilateral grip on Washington DC is tightening. . . now, the danger of a US attack on Iran is very low. Brzezinski's hit list is much more ambitious, and includes Sudan, Pakistan, Burma, and China, all stepping stones to the final reckoning with Moscow. The main possibility of an attack on Iran in the present situation comes from disgruntled Israeli factions like the one around Netanyahu who are aghast that they are being demoted from their previous role as the hub of US strategy to the status of just another expendable pawn in Brzezinski's lunatic plan for confrontation with Beijing and Moscow. The Israelis are horrified by Obama, just as everyone in the world should be. The winning faction of the US-UK establishment does not want the attack on Iran, and the Israelis would be foolhardy to try it on their own.

The Thirty-Nine Lashes against the Hoaxacaust
Killing six million people and disposing of their bodies is no small order for an army trying to conduct a war. Can you imagine the waste of fuel and other resources that would otherwise go to the war effort? Of the thousands of reconnaissance photos available from World War II, why are there no pictures of the fuel tanker convoys which would be needed to deliver the fuel for the crematoria? Why are there no pictures of the smokestacks, which were supposedly belching smoke day and night? The reality is that the Germans could hardly afford to waste fuel for such a purpose. Everyone agrees that the Germans kept tremendous records for efficiency and documentation purposes. Where are the records of these fuel shipments? Think, think, think, you gullible Christian! The Zionists are laughing at you! Full story: anglo- saxonisrael.com

All above the Law?
'Bilderbergers' like Bernanke, Kissinger, Wolfowitz and the financial cartel's 'BIS bank' think and behave as if they have greater immunity than a sovereign nation, are accountable to no one, run global monetary affairs and also this bank, privately owned by the financiers.
And—to give just one example—the BIS bandits and their collaborating ilk don't care that every time somebody fills up a SUV car with the biofuel recommended by them, the amount of calories is equal to what one human being needs in a year. Every time the SUV tank is filled. . .
Quote of the day: "240 kilos of maize needed to fill one tank of a US Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) with biofuel - enough to feed a person for a year."
And—talking about murderous machinations—to make 1 liter of 'biofuel'—thus using food as fuel—takes around four thousand liters of water. Water which is scarce, and which 'they' more and more try to get in their paws too. The multinational managers who have stolen the food and water from the people—via financial machinations in "The City" and illegal invasions too—can't have a conscience nor any decency. . .
According to the law, all people involved in the wars and those attending the Bilderberg conferences mostly assist to make those profitable wars, and it's logical that all those are guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. It's known where they are: the problem now is how to get them in court. Like Rumsfeld who—as Kissinger earlier—was nearly arrested in France for torture.
For the war criminals the world is getting smaller, that's why the Bilderberg conference in the US? Anyhow: the question is always the same for those 'secret' Bilderberg gatherings: if there's nothing to hide, why than the secrecy? Thieves in the night shun the light. So do the 'Bilderbergers'.

Last-Minute Blackmail Demand 'agreed to' by G-8 Financial Powers
London, June 6, 2008 – It has been reported to us that the World Court agreed to the terms of a petition, believed to have been lodged by the World Bank, providing for 25% to be sliced off the top of the aggregate Settlements figure for redirection to 'humanitarian' purposes. . .
Hillary Clinton, a long-term CIA operative with a reputation for ruthlessness, was 'promoted' behind the scenes to run as candidate for the Democratic nomination, by none other than Herr Godfather George H. W. Bush Sr., inter alia so that she could 'look after' Bush Sr.'s interests. Some of the mists surrounding Jezebel's activities in the background have recently lifted, especially the blanket of fog that has masked her alleged financial operations. Let us explain.
When the 'Wanta' $4.5 trillion was brought over from the People's Bank of China in May 2006, as described in our Wantagate reports and confirmed in the text of Mr. Wanta's Petition for a Writ of Mandamus [see Wantagate reports dated 24th June and 5th July 2007], the funds were hijacked by Bush Jr.'s newly appointed Treasury Secretary, (the late) Henry M. Paulson, and were then 'run' by Mrs. Hillary Clinton. This FACT has been confirmed to us by several sources of late, but, although previously mentioned in these reports, had not hitherto fallen into clear focus.
Mrs. Clinton competed for the Democratic nomination for a number of motives, of which the least understood were that she was fronting for George H. W. Bush Sr. (the Bushes and Clintons work together), was tasked with running Wanta's hijacked money, and was relied upon to emerge as the Democratic candidate so that the forthcoming election having delivered the 'necessary' outcome, she would, as President, be able to restore the financial corruption status quo, signaling 'business as usual' for the Bush Crime Family and its myriad associates in the corrupted elements of the US intelligence, financial intermediary and banking sectors—as though nothing had ever happened. . .

The Derivatives Market is Unwinding!
June 4, 2008 – It turns out that the reason Bear Stearns was about to go belly-up before JP Morgan bought it is that it held trillions of dollars in derivatives, which were about to go south. (JP Morgan was so eager to buy Bear Stearns because it was on the other side of these derivative contracts—if Bear Stearns had gone under, JP Morgan would have taken a huge hit. But a purchase by JP Morgan canceled the derivative contracts, so that JP Morgan didn't experience huge losses. That is probably why the Fed was so eager to broker—and fund— the shotgun marriage. JP Morgan is a much larger player, and if Bear's failure had caused the derivatives to hit JP Morgan, it probably would have rippled out to the whole financial system and potentially caused an instant depression).
In addition, the subprime loan crisis is intimately connected to the unwinding of the derivatives market. Specifically, loans were repackaged into derivatives called collateralized debt obligations (or "CDO's") and sold to both big and regional banks and investment companies worldwide. The CDO's were highly-leveraged—many times the amount of the actual loans. When the subprime loan crisis hit, the high leverage magnified the fallout, and huge sums of CDO derivatives became essentially worthless. According to Paul Volcker, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, the entire modern financial system is based upon derivatives, and the financial system today is entirely different from the traditional American or global financial system because derivatives—a relatively new concept—now underlay the entire fabric of the financial system. In short, many of the people who know the most about derivatives say that the current system is a house of cards built upon derivatives. . . Full story: georgewashington2.blogspot.com

Benedict XVI to repay Bush's Cordiality
Vatican City, June 9, 2008 – Benedict XVI will welcome US President George Bush on Friday . . . The Holy Father is leaving aside the typical protocol that prescribes receiving heads of state in the pontifical apartments, and will have his meeting with Bush in the Tower of St. John within the Vatican Gardens, the prefecture of the pontifical household announced today in L'Osservatore Romano.
Bush also broke protocol when he welcomed the Pontiff last April 15. Bush, accompanied by his wife and daughter Jenna, went to Andrews Air Force Base to receive the Pope—an honor the president has never given to a visiting head of state. The next day, Benedict XVI's 81st birthday, the president hosted a celebration in the White House. After their meeting, the Pope and president will walk through the Vatican Gardens where the Sistine Chapel choir will perform for them. . .

The End of the Nation States of Europe
June 3, 2008 – "Europe's nations should be guided towards the superstate without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation" — Jean Monnet (Founding Father of the EU).
On June 12th 2008, the fate of nearly 500 million people will be decided by a country whose population totals only 4.2 million. The people of the Republic of Ireland will be the only 'citizens' of the European Union given the opportunity to have their say on what is potentially the most fundamental piece of legislation in the history of the 'Old Continent'. All the other member states have simply ignored the wishes of their people and left ratification to be 'rubber stamped' by their respective parliaments. However, it is necessary for all twenty seven member states to complete ratification before the 'Treaty' becomes legally binding. . . if the Irish people swallow the massive 'Pro Treaty' propaganda and vote 'Yes', then the fate of, and inevitable demise of the Nation States of Europe will be sealed. There will be no more serious obstacles left to Federalisation. The long dreamed of (by the Federalists that is) United States of Europe will become a reality. . . Full story: thetruthseeker.co.uk

The World is Again Falling Apart
Hebrews 1:1-2; 11:1, 3, "God of old spoke to our forefathers at various times and in many ways by the prophets; but in these last days He has spoken to us in His Son, whom He has appointed Heir of all things, and through whom He made the [material visible] universe" . . . "Faith is the confident assurance of the actual existence of things hoped for, the conviction of unseen realities . . . By faith we understand that the universe was created by the Word of God, so that what we now see was made out of what cannot be seen".
Faith is a clear understanding of the mind of God. The mind of God IN you brings conviction of the unseen realities pledged by the Words of His prophets, not merely a comprehension of things palpable to our ten animal senses but to the unseen realities of His purpose Spiritually revealed by the omnipotent Agency of the Logos to an elect class of people.
Colossians 1:15-17: "Jesus Christ is the image, likeness or expression of the invisible God (possessing the divine nature and absolute moral excellence), the firstborn of all creation: for IN Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: and He is Himself self-existant and therefore before all things, and IN Him all things were put together and are now held together".
Here Paul is NOT speaking of Jesus Christ the Man but of Jesus Christ the Logos who would later manifest as the Man. Not only were all things created and put together by the Logos, they are held together by the Logos or Word. The material universe and the dispensations of God's Word are His expressions of purpose exercised through the Logos, the omnipotent Agency by which He is unfolding His glory, even creating Himself a part of His creation in Jesus Christ and His Brethren.
Mortar is the glue that holds bricks together, if we remove this bond the structure will collapse. The glue that holds a man and woman together in holy wedlock is their word. Once their word is broken the marriage fails. Likewise if we misinterpret, misplace, add to or take from the revealed Word of God we break its structure and His continuity of thought so that it is no longer "Spirit and Life" but human reasoning that will fall apart. We must stay with "it is written," (John 6:63; Matthew 4:4-10; Revelation 22:17-19).
When God's Message was refused in the days of Noah, the world that then was fell apart. Jesus prophesied, "As it was in the days of Noah so will the ['parousia'] Coming of the Son of man be" (Matthew 24:37). The curse of that day was unbelief in God's Word and the repetition of the original sin in miscegenation by the children of Adam with the offspring of Cain. We live in a comparable age of technology, construction, unbelief and miscegenation (called "multiculturalism" by unregenerate politicians). And as Noah's world fell apart because the people refused the Word of God's prophet, our world is falling apart because of indifference to the warning of His vindicated prophet (Genesis 6:1-13; Matthew 24:37-51).
When the children of Israel disbelieved God's Word at Kadesh; the names of the adults were blotted from the Book of Life and the nation's world fell apart as it passed from God's grace to the curse of the Law (Numbers 14:26-37; Psalm 95:10-11; John 6:49; Galatians 3:10). Through unbelief they rejected their reprieve and crucified the Prince of Peace on Calvary; again their world fell apart and to this day they are in bondage and dwell outside the Promised Land "for fear of the Jews."
In each of the seven Church Ages human reasoning separated men from the angel's Message into organization and their relation with Christ fell apart. God foretold that like the Israelite world the Gentile world would fall apart in apostasy, and it has (Romans 11:32; II Thessalonians 2:1-12; II Timothy 3:4). Since nominal Christianity rejected the Holy Spirit, Brother Branham, the angel of Revelation 16:17 and 17:1-18, has indicted Rome and her (once) Protestant daughters, declaring "the world is again falling apart." His indictment was confirmed by the Covenant Angel who came down from heaven robed in a cloud with the rainbow over His head, and His "Come out of Babylon be filled with the Spirit" was echoed from heaven where God's Word is forever settled (Revelation 10:1-4; 18:1-4; Psalm 119:89).
The denominational system is the mark of the beast, its ministers and members "not having continued their righteousness in the Word, are bound in their strong delusion of unbelief until the great day of judgment" (Daniel 12:10; II Thessalonians 2:10-12; Jude 6; Revelation 22:11). The nominally Christian churches having forsaken the Prince of Peace and faith in His omnipotent Word to resolve personal and societal ructions, have turned to human government—committees, councils, and democracy (so-called), socialism, education and the UN—but God gave us His Word to solve all difficulties (Matthew 4:4; Isaiah 55:11). Jesus promised, "These sign shall follow them who believe" and foretold churchmen would become "heady, high minded, having a form of godliness, but denying the power of His Word. . . ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. . . corrupt of mind and reprobate concerning the faith" (II Timothy 3:1-8).
Australia's glib new pseudo-Christian Prime Minister has proposed the establishment of an Asia-Pacific Union similar to the EU "including the United States, Japan, China, India, Indonesia and the other states of the region" as a stepping stone to Lucifer's totalitarian one world government. He cares not that God set separated the families of Adam from the families of Cain, and set "enmity" between us; or that God is obligated to meet man on the promises of His Word, aside from which even Prime Ministers are outside the Kingdom and have no claims upon Him.
In one of the most expensive photo-ops the same brains trust gave $35 million to Toyota (on top of $35 million promised by the Victorian government) to build a hybrid Camry car in Australia which was already planned without handouts. The federal money will come from Mr. Rudd's $500 million Green Car Innovation Fund, designed to encourage carmakers to develop technology that will reduce carbon emissions. Such kowtowing to "the City's" oil companies and waste of taxpayer funds is insanity. For a few hundred dollars a car can be made to run on water with no carbon emissions; manufacturers could provide this option for much less had they the integrity and courage of Henry Ford to withstand "the City."
The same man accuses oil-producing nations of deliberately distorting the supply of oil to maintain high prices. But where would they store the additional production? Laden tankers are standing idle now. Would it not be more honest to confess the high oil prices are essential to support demand for the US dollar, and that aside from being "talked up" they result from speculation and hoarding, Rockefeller's world parity pricing scam and US refusal to exploit their own superabundant oil reserves that exceed those of Saudi Arabia.
So the world is falling apart, driven to insanity by the apostasy of its leaders. Worldwide there is not a single Christian head of state, and barely one who is not at least a Fabian Communist. Likewise there is no Christian leadership of any denominational church. The Word that holds the world together is held in contempt, and put out by the churches that bear His Name.
Isaiah prophesied in the days of Judah's king Uzziah (or Azariah) whose mind was also corrupted in pride (II Chronicles 26:16-21). He wished to make himself high priest and so combine in his person all civil and religious power as Lucifer will do when he is cast down to earth, incarnates the pope, and made president of the totalitarian one world government (Isaiah 14:12-15; Revelation 13:4-10).
Josephus writes, "In the meantime a great earthquake (Amos 1:1) shook the ground and a rent was made in the temple, and the bright rays of the sun shone through it, and fell upon the king's face, insomuch that the leprosy seized upon him immediately. And before the city, at a place called Eroge, half the mountain broke off from the rest on the west, and rolled itself four furlongs, and stood still at the east mountain, till the roads, as well as the king's gardens, were spoiled by the obstruction" (ix. 10,4).
This description bears a remarkable likeness to the earthquake prophesied in Zechariah 14:4-5 for the close of the Gentile dispensation. Yet another earthquake will mark the social, political and spiritual convulsions to come upon Israel and the world in the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week when the incarnate pope usurps the dedication of Jerusalem's third temple, slays the two Hebrew prophets and enforces the mark of the beast (Isaiah 14:12-15; Revelation 11:7-13; 13:15-18).
In another remarkable parallel, there was a scarcity of food in the days of Uzziah (Hosea 2:9; 4:3; 9:2; Amos 4:6-9; 5:16-17) as there is in the world today and will be with greater affliction during the tribulation (Revelation 6:8; 18:8). Another marked similarity between the people of the Old Covenant and the people of the New is that as Israel ended in apostasy, nominal Christendom is ending in apostasy (Romans 11:32). For all His goodness and longsuffering mercy the Lord reaps only a harvest of disobedience. In Isaiah 1:2 He calls upon heaven and earth to witness His righteous claim, for the world must react in judgment against Israel's infraction of Law as it will when the "lukewarm" Gentile rebuff to His grace causes the world to again fall apart (Isaiah 13:6-10; Joel 2:31-32; Hebrews 12:25-29; Revelation 3:15-16; 6:12-17).
Isaiah 1:2-21, "Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord has spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against Me. The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel does not know Me, My people do not care."
Where God mentions Israel, we can say Christendom, but whereas three and half years of Spiritual ministry remain to 144,000 elect Israelites in Daniel's Seventieth Week, the rest of the world is fast approaching the place of no repentance (Hebrews 12:17). The Lord has only raised two peoples to the high honour of Divine relationship: an election of Abraham's natural seed are granted to be His servants, while an election of Abraham's Spiritual Seed, that is Christians, are ordained as His Sons. Yet despite the liberty of being able to draw night unto the God who has revealed Himself to us, Christians like most Israelites in the former dispensation, have in general voluntarily forsaken the Lord they have never known.
People in the circle of this Message have the "letter" but know not what it means and thus do not know the Lord. Today I read a publication promoting the missionary call, yet the Bridegroom came forty-five years ago so the end-time evangelism is Revelation 18:4 and 10:8-11, NOT Matthew 28:19-20. Denominational people have gone to buy Oil from the Full Gospel Businessmen, Vatican II, charismatic and ecumenical circles where there is a lack of Oil.
How the natural types the Spiritual! As mentioned above, the puppet politicians of "the City" pretend we have reached what they call "peak oil"; their speculation and hoarding has artificially inflated the price of oil and its derivatives such as fuel, fertilizer and plastics, causing food scarcity and generating inflation worldwide. If only engineers, corporations and the public were not brainwashed, hoodwinked and blindfolded through deceitful education: if they would anoint their eyes with salve they would see the United States has centuries of proven oil reserves. And the foolish virgin in the circle of this Message would be anointed with Oil, if only she would dig! Do you see the type?
"Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, descendants of evildoers, children that are spoiled! They have apostatised (II Thessalonians 2:3; II Timothy 3:8; 4:4); they have shown contempt for the Holy One of Israel, they have become utterly estranged like the physical Serpent's seed" (Heb. 'zwur') which is accursed of God. As our Lord cried in Matthew 3:7 and 23:33, "You serpents, you race of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell?"
Whereas natural and Spiritual Israel were called to be a "holy nation" the mass of both groups are consigned to unbelief by following the conduct of the preceding generation, not having received new birth from the heavenly Father. The character and conduct of men and women has deteriorated through two world wars, popular music, film, radio, television and the internet in accordance with the agenda of "the City." Consider how print media has descended from serious discussion into trivia and the pit of filth, and how self-discipline has declined with the dissolution of social absolutes and knowledge of the Spiritual Absolute.
Consider our politicians. Would you invite a George II, Barack Obama, John son-of-Cain, Clinton, Tony Blair or a glib Kevin Rudd into your home as a friend? Children are trained from the breast to beware of and to avoid such characters. But the spirit of Laodicea, knowing no Absolute, is neither hot nor cold so that the "holy nation" has become the "sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity" such that they despise the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God said, "Israel does not know Me, My people do not care."
Christendom, like natural Israel is now as estranged from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as the physical Serpent's seed with whom both groups have intermarried, or become spiritual Serpent's seed and reprobate concerning the faith by turning its back to the Word that it might return to fables and idols of the world.
"To what purpose shall one smite you still more since it brings no correction? Its repeated application cannot ward off judgment. The uselessness of chastisement has long been proven by your ever-repeated backsliding. You will add revolt to revolt: every head is sick, and every heart is faint. From the sole of the foot up to the head there is no soundness in the body of Israel or the church; but bruises, and welts and bleeding raw wounds. It has not even troubled to apply the curatives for its sickness: no one has pressed out and closed up, or bandaged, or softened the wounds with oil."
Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft (I Samuel 15:23). According to the Law, a father had the power to bring a rebellious son before the elders and recommend he be stoned to death (Deuteronomy 21:18-21) as God stoned Sodom and Gomorrah (Isaiah 1:10-21) and will stone apostate Christendom (Revelation 16:21).
When natural and Spiritual Israel reached the moral state wherein they would not apply the Oil of the Holy Spirit on hand to cure their ills, there was no alternative for God's elect but the second exodus, from Israel to the Church, and the third exodus, from the church to the Bride (Matthew 25:6; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 18:4). Brother Branham declared the United States is in the same state of moral depravity as Israel which is to be expected as both nations came under submission to the same alien power.
"Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: aliens devour your cultivated fields, which are plundered in your presence by the physical Serpent's seed" (Heb. 'zwur').
After Nebuchadnezzar defeated Judea, Edomites occupied Benjamin's territory and subsequently gained dominion over the whole nation, usurping the name and perverting the religion of the Judeans (Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, XIII, 9:1). Jerusalem was again razed and Judea plundered after Israel crucified her Messiah, but not by Serpent's seed.
Christendom has been invaded under so-called multiculturalism by Serpent's seed who now dominate the world (Matthew 24:37; Genesis 27:39-41). These physical Serpent's seed have often razed (once) Christian Europe from Russia to England. Seven consecutive visions revealed to Brother Branham in 1933 foretold the moral decline and apostasy of Christendom as Isaiah 1 foretold Israel's moral decline and apostasy. Of the seventh vision Brother Branham said, "I turned and looked, and I saw this United States [razed] burning like a smolder; rocks had been blowed up. And it was burning like a heap of fire in logs or something that just set it afire; and as far as I could see and she'd been blown up" (The Seventy Weeks of Daniel, p. 135:212).
Isaiah called Judea a second Sodom and Gomorrah, two Serpent's seed cities destroyed by God. Judah was desolated by God then overrun by the Serpent's seed, and Jerusalem will be ruled by a non-Semitic people unto the consummation and be as Sodom and Egypt spiritually speaking (Daniel 9:27, Luke 21:24 and Revelation 11:1-2, 8).
Jesus prophesied the whole world would be in a Sodom condition in the days of His 'parousia' Coming, yet there will be a remnant. Brother Branham said the denominational churches are in Sodom and His Message is calling the remnant out from among them, as Israel's two prophets will call out the remnant 144,000 (Romans 9:27-33).
"The daughter of Zion (Christ's Bride) is left behind, like a watchman's shanty in a vineyard when the harvest time is over, like a shack in a cucumber patch, like a city preserved from the desolation that surrounds it. If the Lord of hosts had not stepped in to save a very small remnant, natural and Spiritual Israel would have been wiped out like Sodom and Gomorrah. Hear the Word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom (metaphorical Jerusalem); listen to the teaching of our God you nation of Gomorrah (metaphorical Israel)".
What the Lord said here to natural Israel almost 2,800 years ago, He is saying to Christendom today for the whole world is as Sodom and Gomorrah (Luke 17:28-30). Jehovah of Sabaoth, the "Lord of the [starry] Hosts," is above even these objects of idolatry which were the earliest form of false worship called Sabaism for which God destroyed the kingdom of Israel (II Kings 17:16). Hence He is called in contradistinction, "Lord of Sabaoth" (Isaiah 1:9; I Chronicles 16:26). The sun, moon, and stars, the brightest objects in nature, and seen everywhere, were supposed to be visible representatives of the invisible God. They had no temples, but were worshipped on high places and roofs of houses (Ezekiel 8:16; Deuteronomy 4:19; II Kings 23:5,11). Light was probably worshipped as the emanation from God, before its embodiments, the sun, etc. As this worship prevailed in Chaldea, Job's exemption from the idolatry of his neighbors was the more exemplary. Our Sun-day, Mon-day or Moon-day, bear traces of Sabaism. "The groves" were symbols of these starry hosts; it was their worship of Sabaoth instead of the Lord of Sabaoth which had caused the desolation of Judah (II Chronicles 24:18). Thus only the power and grace of the Lord could preserve even a "remnant" for the elect's sake. He preserved the lives of the apostate Israelites for forty years so they could bear a progeny to receive His promise, and has preserved non-elect Christendom for forty years so they could bear a progeny. For the elect's sake the days have been shortened by the revelation of the Seven Seals, otherwise there would be no flesh saved for the rapture (Matthew 24:22).
In Isaiah 1:10-20, natural Israel and her Spiritual antitype are commanded "Listen to the teaching of our God" warning of judgment and the way of redemption. Instead of their external form of ceremonial worship that was an abomination to the Lord, Israel must bring the genuine fruits of heartfelt repentance. Then they may "reason together" and God's grace in case of obedience will exceed their guilt, but His denunciation of wrath will follow disobedience. For the reconfirmation of God's New Covenant with Israel see Ezekiel 16:84-63, the sixfold purpose in Daniel 9:24, and Revelation 11-15.
God does not here absolutely disparage sacrifice, but sacrifice unaccompanied with obedience of heart and life. And bear in mind, Israel's repetitive animal sacrifices were but a temporary shadow and type of the all-sufficient once-only sacrifice of our kinsman Redeemer. Temple ritual, Israel's calendar of worship, holy convocations and other temporary works of the Law were, "a schoolmaster to lead Israel to Christ, that they might be justified by faith" (Galatians 3:24; Hebrews 8-10).
Likewise, God sent Brother Branham, the Prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7, to restore the apostolic faith, finish the mystery of God, and call the wise and foolish virgin out from the world Church System. into the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. Those to add to his THUS SAITH THE LORD will be cast into the tribulation, whilst those who diminsh from it will be blotted from the Book of Life (Revelation 22:17-19).
Isaiah 1:13-14, "Come no more with your meaningless offerings; incense is abominable to Me; likewise the new moon and sabbath, the holy convocations; I cannot endure iniquity and a solemn assembly. My soul hates your new moon festival and your appointed seasonal feasts: they have become a burden on Me; I am weary of bearing them".
God seeks honest hearts able to grow from the "milk" of shadows and types fed to those inexperienced in righteousness to "the solid food of mature believers whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish good from evil" and pass from partial realization to perfect realization.
Isaiah 1:21-31 confirms Jehovah of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New and identifies Jerusalem as a harlot like Rome. Whereas Rome is slated for utter damnation, Jerusalem and an election of Israel will be purged, restored in righteousness and redeemed through tribulation. Then the world will fall apart.
Hebrews 12:25-29, "See that you do not reject or refuse to listen to and heed Jesus Christ who is speaking to you now. For if the Israelites did not escape when they refused to listen and heed Him who warned and divinely instructed them when He descended to the holy mount here on earth, how much less shall we escape, if we turn away from Him who has ascended as He cautions and admonishes us from heaven: His voice then shook the earth: but now He has promised, saying, Once for all time I will shake both heaven and earth. This phrase, Once more and forever, indicates that as the shaking is to be total, so shall be the removal of all of man's works and this present visible creation, making way for the better things of the new heaven and new earth, which, like the uncreated God, "shall remain before God" (Isaiah 66:22).
The seed of the new and heavenly being, not only your soul but also your glorified body being an Attribute of the Logos is a continuation of the creation of God in Christ, and as a manifestation of His Own Attributes is an uncreated and immortal principle of Spirit and Life, irremovable, and shall remain in His Presence (Luke 8:11; I Corinthians 15:45-49; I Peter 1:22-25). Partial realization has become perfect realization and when we are face to face, perfect realization will become completed realization. We have been going from glory to glory, but soon it will be right in the glory; and in His glory we shall shine. We shall be like Him, wondrously like Him, Jesus our Saviour divine! Isn't that wonderful? We are complete in Him. That is true. He would not lie to us about that. But one day we will be changed in the atoms. We will put on immortality. We will be all swallowed up in Life. Then we will realize realization.
"Let us therefore be grateful that the Kingdom we have received cannot be shaken, and so let us serve God acceptably with reverence and awe. For our God is a consuming fire". nl531.htm

Intolerance in Israel
Israel signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 18 states: "Everyone has the right to . . . change his religion . . . and freedom . . . to manifest his religion or beliefs in teaching, practice, worship and observance."
Anti-Christianity in Israel increases. Legislation now pending in Knesset would not just deport but could imprison Christians. Here is the actual text of Israel's proposed anti-missionary law:
Prohibition of inducement for religious conversion 174C.
A) Whoever possesses contrary to the law or prints or reproduces or disseminates or distributes or imports tracts or publicizes things in which there is an inducement to religious conversion is punishable by—one year imprisonment.
B) Any tract or publication in which there is inducement to religious conversion will be confiscated.
This is exactly what Jesus prophesied would happen in the last days. Jewish leaders "will deliver you up to the courts, and scourge you in the synagogues" (Matthew 10:17). Full story: truthtellers.org

Scientists warn of Earthquake Danger
Pasadena, June 4, 2008 – Scientists and government officials sounded a warning to get ready for the largest earthquake drill in US history. "Prepare yourself for shaking that is bigger and longer than anything that has ever been experienced in Southern California," Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the US Geological Survey, said Wednesday.
He and other scientists stood before a packed Caltech auditorium to discuss the prospect of a 7.8-magnitude quake that could begin near the Salton Sea and surge northward along the San Andreas fault. . . The idea is that when the clock strikes 10 am that day, residents will . . . practice the "duck, cover and hold on" survival techniques that are familiar to anyone who has had to take cover under a school desk during childhood drills. . . Full story: dailybulletin.com
Comment: Doug Copp, Rescue Chief and Disaster Manager of American Rescue Team International (ARTI), the world’s most experienced rescue team advises do NOT duck and cover. "When buildings collapse, the weight of the ceilings falling upon the objects or furniture inside crushes these objects, leaving a space or void next to them; the person who is using this void for safety, say the aisle between school desks, will not be injured. If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by getting out the door or window, then lie down and curl up in the fetal position next to a sofa, or large chair".

B52 Nukes, Air Force Purge, Principals Committee, Brzezinski, Obama and China
Washington, June 7, 2008 – Power in Washington DC is no longer in the hands of the Bush-Cheney-neocon clique, but has passed to the Brzezinski-Trilateral faction. Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the firing of Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley, citing the failure of the Air Force to maintain the security of strategic nuclear forces, as shown in the infamous rogue B-52 incident of late August 2007, when a B-52 intercontinental strategic bomber with six nuclear armed cruise missiles flew from North Dakota to Louisiana totally outside of the purview of the USAF command control and communications systems. Gates also mentioned that four high-tech electrical nosecone fuses for Minuteman nuclear warheads were sent to Taiwan in place of helicopter batteries, along with other failures. . .
Obama's foreign policy will be dictated in every respect by Trilateral co-founder Brzezinski. Obama is now supported and surrounded by Trilateral members David Rockefeller, Jay Rockefeller, Joseph Nye, Paul Adolph Volcker, Jimmy Carter, and many more. With James "Rodney the Robot" Schlesinger now helping to purge the Pentagon, including its associated intelligence agencies, the Trilateral grip on Washington DC is tightening. . . now, the danger of a US attack on Iran is very low. Brzezinski's hit list is much more ambitious, and includes Sudan, Pakistan, Burma, and China, all stepping stones to the final reckoning with Moscow. The main possibility of an attack on Iran in the present situation comes from disgruntled Israeli factions like the one around Netanyahu who are aghast that they are being demoted from their previous role as the hub of US strategy to the status of just another expendable pawn in Brzezinski's lunatic plan for confrontation with Beijing and Moscow. The Israelis are horrified by Obama, just as everyone in the world should be. The winning faction of the US-UK establishment does not want the attack on Iran, and the Israelis would be foolhardy to try it on their own.

The Thirty-Nine Lashes against the Hoaxacaust
Killing six million people and disposing of their bodies is no small order for an army trying to conduct a war. Can you imagine the waste of fuel and other resources that would otherwise go to the war effort? Of the thousands of reconnaissance photos available from World War II, why are there no pictures of the fuel tanker convoys which would be needed to deliver the fuel for the crematoria? Why are there no pictures of the smokestacks, which were supposedly belching smoke day and night? The reality is that the Germans could hardly afford to waste fuel for such a purpose. Everyone agrees that the Germans kept tremendous records for efficiency and documentation purposes. Where are the records of these fuel shipments? Think, think, think, you gullible Christian! The Zionists are laughing at you! Full story: anglo- saxonisrael.com

All above the Law?
'Bilderbergers' like Bernanke, Kissinger, Wolfowitz and the financial cartel's 'BIS bank' think and behave as if they have greater immunity than a sovereign nation, are accountable to no one, run global monetary affairs and also this bank, privately owned by the financiers.
And—to give just one example—the BIS bandits and their collaborating ilk don't care that every time somebody fills up a SUV car with the biofuel recommended by them, the amount of calories is equal to what one human being needs in a year. Every time the SUV tank is filled. . .
Quote of the day: "240 kilos of maize needed to fill one tank of a US Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) with biofuel - enough to feed a person for a year."
And—talking about murderous machinations—to make 1 liter of 'biofuel'—thus using food as fuel—takes around four thousand liters of water. Water which is scarce, and which 'they' more and more try to get in their paws too. The multinational managers who have stolen the food and water from the people—via financial machinations in "The City" and illegal invasions too—can't have a conscience nor any decency. . .
According to the law, all people involved in the wars and those attending the Bilderberg conferences mostly assist to make those profitable wars, and it's logical that all those are guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. It's known where they are: the problem now is how to get them in court. Like Rumsfeld who—as Kissinger earlier—was nearly arrested in France for torture.
For the war criminals the world is getting smaller, that's why the Bilderberg conference in the US? Anyhow: the question is always the same for those 'secret' Bilderberg gatherings: if there's nothing to hide, why than the secrecy? Thieves in the night shun the light. So do the 'Bilderbergers'.

Last-Minute Blackmail Demand 'agreed to' by G-8 Financial Powers
London, June 6, 2008 – It has been reported to us that the World Court agreed to the terms of a petition, believed to have been lodged by the World Bank, providing for 25% to be sliced off the top of the aggregate Settlements figure for redirection to 'humanitarian' purposes. . .
Hillary Clinton, a long-term CIA operative with a reputation for ruthlessness, was 'promoted' behind the scenes to run as candidate for the Democratic nomination, by none other than Herr Godfather George H. W. Bush Sr., inter alia so that she could 'look after' Bush Sr.'s interests. Some of the mists surrounding Jezebel's activities in the background have recently lifted, especially the blanket of fog that has masked her alleged financial operations. Let us explain.
When the 'Wanta' $4.5 trillion was brought over from the People's Bank of China in May 2006, as described in our Wantagate reports and confirmed in the text of Mr. Wanta's Petition for a Writ of Mandamus [see Wantagate reports dated 24th June and 5th July 2007], the funds were hijacked by Bush Jr.'s newly appointed Treasury Secretary, (the late) Henry M. Paulson, and were then 'run' by Mrs. Hillary Clinton. This FACT has been confirmed to us by several sources of late, but, although previously mentioned in these reports, had not hitherto fallen into clear focus.
Mrs. Clinton competed for the Democratic nomination for a number of motives, of which the least understood were that she was fronting for George H. W. Bush Sr. (the Bushes and Clintons work together), was tasked with running Wanta's hijacked money, and was relied upon to emerge as the Democratic candidate so that the forthcoming election having delivered the 'necessary' outcome, she would, as President, be able to restore the financial corruption status quo, signaling 'business as usual' for the Bush Crime Family and its myriad associates in the corrupted elements of the US intelligence, financial intermediary and banking sectors—as though nothing had ever happened. . .

The Derivatives Market is Unwinding!
June 4, 2008 – It turns out that the reason Bear Stearns was about to go belly-up before JP Morgan bought it is that it held trillions of dollars in derivatives, which were about to go south. (JP Morgan was so eager to buy Bear Stearns because it was on the other side of these derivative contracts—if Bear Stearns had gone under, JP Morgan would have taken a huge hit. But a purchase by JP Morgan canceled the derivative contracts, so that JP Morgan didn't experience huge losses. That is probably why the Fed was so eager to broker—and fund— the shotgun marriage. JP Morgan is a much larger player, and if Bear's failure had caused the derivatives to hit JP Morgan, it probably would have rippled out to the whole financial system and potentially caused an instant depression).
In addition, the subprime loan crisis is intimately connected to the unwinding of the derivatives market. Specifically, loans were repackaged into derivatives called collateralized debt obligations (or "CDO's") and sold to both big and regional banks and investment companies worldwide. The CDO's were highly-leveraged—many times the amount of the actual loans. When the subprime loan crisis hit, the high leverage magnified the fallout, and huge sums of CDO derivatives became essentially worthless. According to Paul Volcker, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, the entire modern financial system is based upon derivatives, and the financial system today is entirely different from the traditional American or global financial system because derivatives—a relatively new concept—now underlay the entire fabric of the financial system. In short, many of the people who know the most about derivatives say that the current system is a house of cards built upon derivatives. . . Full story: georgewashington2.blogspot.com

Benedict XVI to repay Bush's Cordiality
Vatican City, June 9, 2008 – Benedict XVI will welcome US President George Bush on Friday . . . The Holy Father is leaving aside the typical protocol that prescribes receiving heads of state in the pontifical apartments, and will have his meeting with Bush in the Tower of St. John within the Vatican Gardens, the prefecture of the pontifical household announced today in L'Osservatore Romano.
Bush also broke protocol when he welcomed the Pontiff last April 15. Bush, accompanied by his wife and daughter Jenna, went to Andrews Air Force Base to receive the Pope—an honor the president has never given to a visiting head of state. The next day, Benedict XVI's 81st birthday, the president hosted a celebration in the White House. After their meeting, the Pope and president will walk through the Vatican Gardens where the Sistine Chapel choir will perform for them. . .

The End of the Nation States of Europe
June 3, 2008 – "Europe's nations should be guided towards the superstate without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation" — Jean Monnet (Founding Father of the EU).
On June 12th 2008, the fate of nearly 500 million people will be decided by a country whose population totals only 4.2 million. The people of the Republic of Ireland will be the only 'citizens' of the European Union given the opportunity to have their say on what is potentially the most fundamental piece of legislation in the history of the 'Old Continent'. All the other member states have simply ignored the wishes of their people and left ratification to be 'rubber stamped' by their respective parliaments. However, it is necessary for all twenty seven member states to complete ratification before the 'Treaty' becomes legally binding. . . if the Irish people swallow the massive 'Pro Treaty' propaganda and vote 'Yes', then the fate of, and inevitable demise of the Nation States of Europe will be sealed. There will be no more serious obstacles left to Federalisation. The long dreamed of (by the Federalists that is) United States of Europe will become a reality. . . Full story: thetruthseeker.co.uk

The World is Again Falling Apart
Hebrews 1:1-2; 11:1, 3, "God of old spoke to our forefathers at various times and in many ways by the prophets; but in these last days He has spoken to us in His Son, whom He has appointed Heir of all things, and through whom He made the [material visible] universe" . . . "Faith is the confident assurance of the actual existence of things hoped for, the conviction of unseen realities . . . By faith we understand that the universe was created by the Word of God, so that what we now see was made out of what cannot be seen".
Faith is a clear understanding of the mind of God. The mind of God IN you brings conviction of the unseen realities pledged by the Words of His prophets, not merely a comprehension of things palpable to our ten animal senses but to the unseen realities of His purpose Spiritually revealed by the omnipotent Agency of the Logos to an elect class of people.
Colossians 1:15-17: "Jesus Christ is the image, likeness or expression of the invisible God (possessing the divine nature and absolute moral excellence), the firstborn of all creation: for IN Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: and He is Himself self-existant and therefore before all things, and IN Him all things were put together and are now held together".
Here Paul is NOT speaking of Jesus Christ the Man but of Jesus Christ the Logos who would later manifest as the Man. Not only were all things created and put together by the Logos, they are held together by the Logos or Word. The material universe and the dispensations of God's Word are His expressions of purpose exercised through the Logos, the omnipotent Agency by which He is unfolding His glory, even creating Himself a part of His creation in Jesus Christ and His Brethren.
Mortar is the glue that holds bricks together, if we remove this bond the structure will collapse. The glue that holds a man and woman together in holy wedlock is their word. Once their word is broken the marriage fails. Likewise if we misinterpret, misplace, add to or take from the revealed Word of God we break its structure and His continuity of thought so that it is no longer "Spirit and Life" but human reasoning that will fall apart. We must stay with "it is written," (John 6:63; Matthew 4:4-10; Revelation 22:17-19).
When God's Message was refused in the days of Noah, the world that then was fell apart. Jesus prophesied, "As it was in the days of Noah so will the ['parousia'] Coming of the Son of man be" (Matthew 24:37). The curse of that day was unbelief in God's Word and the repetition of the original sin in miscegenation by the children of Adam with the offspring of Cain. We live in a comparable age of technology, construction, unbelief and miscegenation (called "multiculturalism" by unregenerate politicians). And as Noah's world fell apart because the people refused the Word of God's prophet, our world is falling apart because of indifference to the warning of His vindicated prophet (Genesis 6:1-13; Matthew 24:37-51).
When the children of Israel disbelieved God's Word at Kadesh; the names of the adults were blotted from the Book of Life and the nation's world fell apart as it passed from God's grace to the curse of the Law (Numbers 14:26-37; Psalm 95:10-11; John 6:49; Galatians 3:10). Through unbelief they rejected their reprieve and crucified the Prince of Peace on Calvary; again their world fell apart and to this day they are in bondage and dwell outside the Promised Land "for fear of the Jews."
In each of the seven Church Ages human reasoning separated men from the angel's Message into organization and their relation with Christ fell apart. God foretold that like the Israelite world the Gentile world would fall apart in apostasy, and it has (Romans 11:32; II Thessalonians 2:1-12; II Timothy 3:4). Since nominal Christianity rejected the Holy Spirit, Brother Branham, the angel of Revelation 16:17 and 17:1-18, has indicted Rome and her (once) Protestant daughters, declaring "the world is again falling apart." His indictment was confirmed by the Covenant Angel who came down from heaven robed in a cloud with the rainbow over His head, and His "Come out of Babylon be filled with the Spirit" was echoed from heaven where God's Word is forever settled (Revelation 10:1-4; 18:1-4; Psalm 119:89).
The denominational system is the mark of the beast, its ministers and members "not having continued their righteousness in the Word, are bound in their strong delusion of unbelief until the great day of judgment" (Daniel 12:10; II Thessalonians 2:10-12; Jude 6; Revelation 22:11). The nominally Christian churches having forsaken the Prince of Peace and faith in His omnipotent Word to resolve personal and societal ructions, have turned to human government—committees, councils, and democracy (so-called), socialism, education and the UN—but God gave us His Word to solve all difficulties (Matthew 4:4; Isaiah 55:11). Jesus promised, "These sign shall follow them who believe" and foretold churchmen would become "heady, high minded, having a form of godliness, but denying the power of His Word. . . ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. . . corrupt of mind and reprobate concerning the faith" (II Timothy 3:1-8).
Australia's glib new pseudo-Christian Prime Minister has proposed the establishment of an Asia-Pacific Union similar to the EU "including the United States, Japan, China, India, Indonesia and the other states of the region" as a stepping stone to Lucifer's totalitarian one world government. He cares not that God set separated the families of Adam from the families of Cain, and set "enmity" between us; or that God is obligated to meet man on the promises of His Word, aside from which even Prime Ministers are outside the Kingdom and have no claims upon Him.
In one of the most expensive photo-ops the same brains trust gave $35 million to Toyota (on top of $35 million promised by the Victorian government) to build a hybrid Camry car in Australia which was already planned without handouts. The federal money will come from Mr. Rudd's $500 million Green Car Innovation Fund, designed to encourage carmakers to develop technology that will reduce carbon emissions. Such kowtowing to "the City's" oil companies and waste of taxpayer funds is insanity. For a few hundred dollars a car can be made to run on water with no carbon emissions; manufacturers could provide this option for much less had they the integrity and courage of Henry Ford to withstand "the City."
The same man accuses oil-producing nations of deliberately distorting the supply of oil to maintain high prices. But where would they store the additional production? Laden tankers are standing idle now. Would it not be more honest to confess the high oil prices are essential to support demand for the US dollar, and that aside from being "talked up" they result from speculation and hoarding, Rockefeller's world parity pricing scam and US refusal to exploit their own superabundant oil reserves that exceed those of Saudi Arabia.
So the world is falling apart, driven to insanity by the apostasy of its leaders. Worldwide there is not a single Christian head of state, and barely one who is not at least a Fabian Communist. Likewise there is no Christian leadership of any denominational church. The Word that holds the world together is held in contempt, and put out by the churches that bear His Name.
Isaiah prophesied in the days of Judah's king Uzziah (or Azariah) whose mind was also corrupted in pride (II Chronicles 26:16-21). He wished to make himself high priest and so combine in his person all civil and religious power as Lucifer will do when he is cast down to earth, incarnates the pope, and made president of the totalitarian one world government (Isaiah 14:12-15; Revelation 13:4-10).
Josephus writes, "In the meantime a great earthquake (Amos 1:1) shook the ground and a rent was made in the temple, and the bright rays of the sun shone through it, and fell upon the king's face, insomuch that the leprosy seized upon him immediately. And before the city, at a place called Eroge, half the mountain broke off from the rest on the west, and rolled itself four furlongs, and stood still at the east mountain, till the roads, as well as the king's gardens, were spoiled by the obstruction" (ix. 10,4).
This description bears a remarkable likeness to the earthquake prophesied in Zechariah 14:4-5 for the close of the Gentile dispensation. Yet another earthquake will mark the social, political and spiritual convulsions to come upon Israel and the world in the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week when the incarnate pope usurps the dedication of Jerusalem's third temple, slays the two Hebrew prophets and enforces the mark of the beast (Isaiah 14:12-15; Revelation 11:7-13; 13:15-18).
In another remarkable parallel, there was a scarcity of food in the days of Uzziah (Hosea 2:9; 4:3; 9:2; Amos 4:6-9; 5:16-17) as there is in the world today and will be with greater affliction during the tribulation (Revelation 6:8; 18:8). Another marked similarity between the people of the Old Covenant and the people of the New is that as Israel ended in apostasy, nominal Christendom is ending in apostasy (Romans 11:32). For all His goodness and longsuffering mercy the Lord reaps only a harvest of disobedience. In Isaiah 1:2 He calls upon heaven and earth to witness His righteous claim, for the world must react in judgment against Israel's infraction of Law as it will when the "lukewarm" Gentile rebuff to His grace causes the world to again fall apart (Isaiah 13:6-10; Joel 2:31-32; Hebrews 12:25-29; Revelation 3:15-16; 6:12-17).
Isaiah 1:2-21, "Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord has spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against Me. The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel does not know Me, My people do not care."
Where God mentions Israel, we can say Christendom, but whereas three and half years of Spiritual ministry remain to 144,000 elect Israelites in Daniel's Seventieth Week, the rest of the world is fast approaching the place of no repentance (Hebrews 12:17). The Lord has only raised two peoples to the high honour of Divine relationship: an election of Abraham's natural seed are granted to be His servants, while an election of Abraham's Spiritual Seed, that is Christians, are ordained as His Sons. Yet despite the liberty of being able to draw night unto the God who has revealed Himself to us, Christians like most Israelites in the former dispensation, have in general voluntarily forsaken the Lord they have never known.
People in the circle of this Message have the "letter" but know not what it means and thus do not know the Lord. Today I read a publication promoting the missionary call, yet the Bridegroom came forty-five years ago so the end-time evangelism is Revelation 18:4 and 10:8-11, NOT Matthew 28:19-20. Denominational people have gone to buy Oil from the Full Gospel Businessmen, Vatican II, charismatic and ecumenical circles where there is a lack of Oil.
How the natural types the Spiritual! As mentioned above, the puppet politicians of "the City" pretend we have reached what they call "peak oil"; their speculation and hoarding has artificially inflated the price of oil and its derivatives such as fuel, fertilizer and plastics, causing food scarcity and generating inflation worldwide. If only engineers, corporations and the public were not brainwashed, hoodwinked and blindfolded through deceitful education: if they would anoint their eyes with salve they would see the United States has centuries of proven oil reserves. And the foolish virgin in the circle of this Message would be anointed with Oil, if only she would dig! Do you see the type?
"Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, descendants of evildoers, children that are spoiled! They have apostatised (II Thessalonians 2:3; II Timothy 3:8; 4:4); they have shown contempt for the Holy One of Israel, they have become utterly estranged like the physical Serpent's seed" (Heb. 'zwur') which is accursed of God. As our Lord cried in Matthew 3:7 and 23:33, "You serpents, you race of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell?"
Whereas natural and Spiritual Israel were called to be a "holy nation" the mass of both groups are consigned to unbelief by following the conduct of the preceding generation, not having received new birth from the heavenly Father. The character and conduct of men and women has deteriorated through two world wars, popular music, film, radio, television and the internet in accordance with the agenda of "the City." Consider how print media has descended from serious discussion into trivia and the pit of filth, and how self-discipline has declined with the dissolution of social absolutes and knowledge of the Spiritual Absolute.
Consider our politicians. Would you invite a George II, Barack Obama, John son-of-Cain, Clinton, Tony Blair or a glib Kevin Rudd into your home as a friend? Children are trained from the breast to beware of and to avoid such characters. But the spirit of Laodicea, knowing no Absolute, is neither hot nor cold so that the "holy nation" has become the "sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity" such that they despise the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God said, "Israel does not know Me, My people do not care."
Christendom, like natural Israel is now as estranged from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as the physical Serpent's seed with whom both groups have intermarried, or become spiritual Serpent's seed and reprobate concerning the faith by turning its back to the Word that it might return to fables and idols of the world.
"To what purpose shall one smite you still more since it brings no correction? Its repeated application cannot ward off judgment. The uselessness of chastisement has long been proven by your ever-repeated backsliding. You will add revolt to revolt: every head is sick, and every heart is faint. From the sole of the foot up to the head there is no soundness in the body of Israel or the church; but bruises, and welts and bleeding raw wounds. It has not even troubled to apply the curatives for its sickness: no one has pressed out and closed up, or bandaged, or softened the wounds with oil."
Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft (I Samuel 15:23). According to the Law, a father had the power to bring a rebellious son before the elders and recommend he be stoned to death (Deuteronomy 21:18-21) as God stoned Sodom and Gomorrah (Isaiah 1:10-21) and will stone apostate Christendom (Revelation 16:21).
When natural and Spiritual Israel reached the moral state wherein they would not apply the Oil of the Holy Spirit on hand to cure their ills, there was no alternative for God's elect but the second exodus, from Israel to the Church, and the third exodus, from the church to the Bride (Matthew 25:6; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 18:4). Brother Branham declared the United States is in the same state of moral depravity as Israel which is to be expected as both nations came under submission to the same alien power.
"Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: aliens devour your cultivated fields, which are plundered in your presence by the physical Serpent's seed" (Heb. 'zwur').
After Nebuchadnezzar defeated Judea, Edomites occupied Benjamin's territory and subsequently gained dominion over the whole nation, usurping the name and perverting the religion of the Judeans (Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, XIII, 9:1). Jerusalem was again razed and Judea plundered after Israel crucified her Messiah, but not by Serpent's seed.
Christendom has been invaded under so-called multiculturalism by Serpent's seed who now dominate the world (Matthew 24:37; Genesis 27:39-41). These physical Serpent's seed have often razed (once) Christian Europe from Russia to England. Seven consecutive visions revealed to Brother Branham in 1933 foretold the moral decline and apostasy of Christendom as Isaiah 1 foretold Israel's moral decline and apostasy. Of the seventh vision Brother Branham said, "I turned and looked, and I saw this United States [razed] burning like a smolder; rocks had been blowed up. And it was burning like a heap of fire in logs or something that just set it afire; and as far as I could see and she'd been blown up" (The Seventy Weeks of Daniel, p. 135:212).
Isaiah called Judea a second Sodom and Gomorrah, two Serpent's seed cities destroyed by God. Judah was desolated by God then overrun by the Serpent's seed, and Jerusalem will be ruled by a non-Semitic people unto the consummation and be as Sodom and Egypt spiritually speaking (Daniel 9:27, Luke 21:24 and Revelation 11:1-2, 8).
Jesus prophesied the whole world would be in a Sodom condition in the days of His 'parousia' Coming, yet there will be a remnant. Brother Branham said the denominational churches are in Sodom and His Message is calling the remnant out from among them, as Israel's two prophets will call out the remnant 144,000 (Romans 9:27-33).
"The daughter of Zion (Christ's Bride) is left behind, like a watchman's shanty in a vineyard when the harvest time is over, like a shack in a cucumber patch, like a city preserved from the desolation that surrounds it. If the Lord of hosts had not stepped in to save a very small remnant, natural and Spiritual Israel would have been wiped out like Sodom and Gomorrah. Hear the Word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom (metaphorical Jerusalem); listen to the teaching of our God you nation of Gomorrah (metaphorical Israel)".
What the Lord said here to natural Israel almost 2,800 years ago, He is saying to Christendom today for the whole world is as Sodom and Gomorrah (Luke 17:28-30). Jehovah of Sabaoth, the "Lord of the [starry] Hosts," is above even these objects of idolatry which were the earliest form of false worship called Sabaism for which God destroyed the kingdom of Israel (II Kings 17:16). Hence He is called in contradistinction, "Lord of Sabaoth" (Isaiah 1:9; I Chronicles 16:26). The sun, moon, and stars, the brightest objects in nature, and seen everywhere, were supposed to be visible representatives of the invisible God. They had no temples, but were worshipped on high places and roofs of houses (Ezekiel 8:16; Deuteronomy 4:19; II Kings 23:5,11). Light was probably worshipped as the emanation from God, before its embodiments, the sun, etc. As this worship prevailed in Chaldea, Job's exemption from the idolatry of his neighbors was the more exemplary. Our Sun-day, Mon-day or Moon-day, bear traces of Sabaism. "The groves" were symbols of these starry hosts; it was their worship of Sabaoth instead of the Lord of Sabaoth which had caused the desolation of Judah (II Chronicles 24:18). Thus only the power and grace of the Lord could preserve even a "remnant" for the elect's sake. He preserved the lives of the apostate Israelites for forty years so they could bear a progeny to receive His promise, and has preserved non-elect Christendom for forty years so they could bear a progeny. For the elect's sake the days have been shortened by the revelation of the Seven Seals, otherwise there would be no flesh saved for the rapture (Matthew 24:22).
In Isaiah 1:10-20, natural Israel and her Spiritual antitype are commanded "Listen to the teaching of our God" warning of judgment and the way of redemption. Instead of their external form of ceremonial worship that was an abomination to the Lord, Israel must bring the genuine fruits of heartfelt repentance. Then they may "reason together" and God's grace in case of obedience will exceed their guilt, but His denunciation of wrath will follow disobedience. For the reconfirmation of God's New Covenant with Israel see Ezekiel 16:84-63, the sixfold purpose in Daniel 9:24, and Revelation 11-15.
God does not here absolutely disparage sacrifice, but sacrifice unaccompanied with obedience of heart and life. And bear in mind, Israel's repetitive animal sacrifices were but a temporary shadow and type of the all-sufficient once-only sacrifice of our kinsman Redeemer. Temple ritual, Israel's calendar of worship, holy convocations and other temporary works of the Law were, "a schoolmaster to lead Israel to Christ, that they might be justified by faith" (Galatians 3:24; Hebrews 8-10).
Likewise, God sent Brother Branham, the Prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7, to restore the apostolic faith, finish the mystery of God, and call the wise and foolish virgin out from the world Church System. into the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. Those to add to his THUS SAITH THE LORD will be cast into the tribulation, whilst those who diminsh from it will be blotted from the Book of Life (Revelation 22:17-19).
Isaiah 1:13-14, "Come no more with your meaningless offerings; incense is abominable to Me; likewise the new moon and sabbath, the holy convocations; I cannot endure iniquity and a solemn assembly. My soul hates your new moon festival and your appointed seasonal feasts: they have become a burden on Me; I am weary of bearing them".
God seeks honest hearts able to grow from the "milk" of shadows and types fed to those inexperienced in righteousness to "the solid food of mature believers whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish good from evil" and pass from partial realization to perfect realization.
Isaiah 1:21-31 confirms Jehovah of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New and identifies Jerusalem as a harlot like Rome. Whereas Rome is slated for utter damnation, Jerusalem and an election of Israel will be purged, restored in righteousness and redeemed through tribulation. Then the world will fall apart.
Hebrews 12:25-29, "See that you do not reject or refuse to listen to and heed Jesus Christ who is speaking to you now. For if the Israelites did not escape when they refused to listen and heed Him who warned and divinely instructed them when He descended to the holy mount here on earth, how much less shall we escape, if we turn away from Him who has ascended as He cautions and admonishes us from heaven: His voice then shook the earth: but now He has promised, saying, Once for all time I will shake both heaven and earth. This phrase, Once more and forever, indicates that as the shaking is to be total, so shall be the removal of all of man's works and this present visible creation, making way for the better things of the new heaven and new earth, which, like the uncreated God, "shall remain before God" (Isaiah 66:22).
The seed of the new and heavenly being, not only your soul but also your glorified body being an Attribute of the Logos is a continuation of the creation of God in Christ, and as a manifestation of His Own Attributes is an uncreated and immortal principle of Spirit and Life, irremovable, and shall remain in His Presence (Luke 8:11; I Corinthians 15:45-49; I Peter 1:22-25). Partial realization has become perfect realization and when we are face to face, perfect realization will become completed realization. We have been going from glory to glory, but soon it will be right in the glory; and in His glory we shall shine. We shall be like Him, wondrously like Him, Jesus our Saviour divine! Isn't that wonderful? We are complete in Him. That is true. He would not lie to us about that. But one day we will be changed in the atoms. We will put on immortality. We will be all swallowed up in Life. Then we will realize realization.
"Let us therefore be grateful that the Kingdom we have received cannot be shaken, and so let us serve God acceptably with reverence and awe. For our God is a consuming fire". nl531.htm

Bilderberg announces 2008 Conference
Chantilly, June 5, 2008 – The 56th Bilderberg Meeting will be held in Chantilly, Virginia, 5–8 June 2008. The Conference will deal mainly with a nuclear free world, cyber terrorism, Africa, Russia, finance, protectionism, US-EU relations, Pakistan and Afghanistan, Islam and Iran. Approximately 140 participants will attend, of whom about two-thirds come from Europe and the balance from North America. About one-third is from government and politics, and two-thirds are from finance, industry, labor, education and communications. The meeting is private in order to encourage frank and open discussion. Full story: centredaily.com
Spooks, FBI agents and cops have descended on the Westfields Marriott hotel in Chantilly . . . top CEO's, hugely influential philanthropists, heads of state, NATO officials, academic leaders, banking kingpins, and European royalty—the very people that shape the destiny of the world—can get together for three days without a single US corporate media outlet reporting on it. You certainly won't read about it in the Washington Post, the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal, since the editors of those three newspapers are all Bilderberg members.

Nuclear Explosion occurs near Epicenter of the Sichuan Earthquake
June 3, 2008 – Boxun News, a Chinese-language Web site based outside China, reported that an unnamed expert has claimed that there was a nuclear explosion near the epicenter of the Sichuan earthquake, based on witness reports and the discovery of concrete rubble believed to have come from an underground military installation. The news of this nuclear explosion has raised questions about the cause of the earthquake. . . Full story: en.epochtimes.com en.epochtimes.com
It is also suggested that experimentation being conducted at the Large Hadron Collider for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), located in Switzerland, and US military action employing HAARP are responsible for the Myanmar Cyclone on May 3, the eruption of Chile's Chaiten volcano on May 8, the earthquake in Sichuan, China, on May 12, 2008, eruptions of Kamchatka's Karymsky volcano, and Italy's Mount Etna volcano plus thousands of earthquakes in the region of Nevada.
Other HAARP-induced acts of Environmental/Scalar Warfare are said to include, the Kobe earthquake of 1995, the Sumatra earthquake and tsunami on December 26, 2006, two NASA Shuttle Disasters, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the Black Sea event of 2007, and the earthquake in Niigata, Japan in 2007.
Comment: Double, double, toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble. As postulated last year, it is looking increasingly possible that the sinking of Los Angeles will be induced by one of the factions vying for global hegemony.

Nuclear Armageddon: the Countdown
April 9, 2007 – It is already known that the US invasion of Afghanistan was planned long before 9/11. The made-for-television 9/11 extravaganza was actually used to prepare for the invasion of Iraq. When the US finally did invade Iraq, many Americans who realized that the logic was wrong still consoled themselves with the idea that their government was actually moving to secure future supplies of oil for their benefit. Was there any benefit? No. Perhaps in the future? No. The US government is not in the oil business. It doesn't pump, buy, sell or distribute petroleum products. Corporations do that. In Iraq today, after great sacrifice of lives and treasure, US and other multinational corporations now have the opportunity to control and harvest that country's oil reserves. They will profit handsomely. You will not. You will, however, be asked to pay the bill.
The objective, which has been in the works for at least two decades, is to change the ownership of the entire non-allied Middle East, under the guise of religious warfare. (Emphasis ours). After all, there must be some crazy reason why those Arab lunatics are allegedly so committed to "destroying our freedoms" while the Bush Neocon/Zionists pass law after law to actually take our freedoms and money away!
This map shows the objective.
As you can see, Iran is now pinned on both sides by Cartel-controlled forces, and is the remaining piece that needs to fall to create a solid block of Cartel-controlled territory from east to west. There is also the issue of immensely valuable pipelines that could route Russian oil all the way to the terminal at Haifa. In addition, if Syria is also destroyed or occupied, it would appear that our "Middle East problems" would reach a final solution.
You can also see that Iran is huge. The US defense budget after decades of corporate looting simply cannot support enough troops and equipment to invade and occupy Iran in a conventional manner. Nuclear weapons must be used, and in sufficient quantity to completely destroy Iran's ability to resist invasion and occupation. The only barrier to this is the simple fact that the first country to use a nuke will be condemned by the whole world and ostracized forever. The obvious solution is to fake a nuclear attack, blame it on anyone you wish, and then use all the nukes you want. . .
Now that governments are simply "fronts" for corporate cartels, there is huge pressure to bring out the nukes and finally get some "good" out of them. But no one dares be the first to use a nuclear weapon on human beings. There is only one way this can be done. Someone who already owns nukes must set one off in a way that can be blamed on someone else. Once that occurs, the gullible will be cheering when more nukes are used on the "bad guys," and our whole perception of nuclear weapons will change. Nukes will suddenly become general-purpose tools, and the Bush Doctrine, that any country can be attacked and destroyed for any reason, will become the new standard in world affairs. This will be America's sad and final legacy to the world. . . Full story: ken-welch.com
Comment: One of the United States most secret aircraft called the SR-91 Aurora (on which this Newsletter reported several years ago) was 'blasted' out of the skies over South East Asia by a US Naval ship operating in International waters off the coast of Vietnam. Russian Military Analysts further report that the trajectory of the doomed US space-plane shows it had left the vast American Military base in the Indian Ocean called Diego Garcia and headed towards the Pakistan-Iranian border before its being shot out of the sky.
Barack Obama is not going to miss the chance to get big Jewish bucks for his campaign. That's why at his June 4 2008 speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in Washington DC, Obama over-exerted himself to outdo McCain in wooing the Jews:
"Today I am among friends who share my commitment to make sure that the bond between the United States and Israel is unbreakable today, tomorrow and forever. . . I will implement a Memorandum of Understanding that provides $30 billion in assistance to Israel over the next decade. (which is less than it receives now - Ed). . . The Iranian regime is pursuing a nuclear capability and its president denies the Holocaust. (So what? BN). . . Full story: npr.org

Methodology of Global Takeover
May 27, 2008 – Regarding the global uranium business, the international bankers located within the ancient Roman "City of London" have decided that: if you control the food, you control the nation, if you control the energy, you control a region, and if you control money, you control the whole world. The City of London international bankers are the descendants of the Merchants of Venice, who are descended from those who controlled the Roman, Egyptian, and Mesopotamian empires. They invented the concept of a corporation to relieve themselves of any liability for their actions. . .
In fact 9/11 was carried out by M16, the CIA, and Mossad (intelligence agencies of England, the US and Israel) (on behalf of the Committee of 300 – ETK). 9/11 gave the ruling elite justification to repeal our Bill of Rights in the Patriot Act and Domestic Military Authorization Act (that eradicated posse comitatus), their wars in the Middle East. What do Kazakhstan and Afghanistan have in common? Lots of uranium. The ruling elite now have their eye on Siberia for its abundant oil and natural gas.

Global Cooling is Coming!
Take away the intense politics surrounding the global warming debate. Take away the self-interest groups, business interests, legal, bureaucratic and mass media influences that all seek to make a buck out of driving public hysteria over the fads and fashions of the age.
Pure science—given the history of cyclical changes in the Earth's temperatures—reveals that man has little influence on the overall surface temperature of the Earth. Man's influence on temperature is localized at best. Scientists all agree that the greatest single driver of Earth's climate is the sun, the source of our Earth's energy. . . The problem with the global warmists is that the theories of their politicized pseudo-science do not match the more exact science of those responsible for accurate measurement of global temperatures. Ocean temperatures are these days measured by 3,000 automated Argos buoys deployed in the seas. These buoys present a challenge to global warmers. "The Argos buoys have disappointed the global warm-mongers in that they have failed to detect any signs of imminent climate change. As Dr. Josh Willis, who works for NASA in its Jet Propulsion Laboratory, noted in an interview with National Public Radio, 'there has been a very slight cooling' over the buoys' five years of observation, but that drop was 'not anything really significant.' Certainly not enough to shut down the Gulf Stream" (Brookesnews.com, March 31). Added to this challenge to the global warming theorists is the evidence produced by NASA's eight weather satellites. "In contrast to some 7,000 land-based stations, they take more than 300,000 temperature readings daily over the surface of the Earth. In 30 years of operation, the satellites have recorded a warming trend of just 0.14 degrees Celsius—well within the range of normal variations" (ibid.). . .

Christian Preachers face Arrest in Birmingham
June 2, 2008 – The preachers, both ministers in Birmingham, were handing out leaflets on Alum Rock Road in February when they started talking to four Asian youths. A police community support officer (PCSO) interrupted the conversation and began questioning the ministers about their beliefs. . .
"He said we were in a Muslim area and were not allowed to spread our Christian message. He said we were committing a hate crime by telling the youths to leave Islam and said that he was going to take us to the police station". . . The ministers claim he also advised them not to return to the area. As he walked away, the PCSO said: "You have been warned. If you come back here and get beaten up, well you have been warned".

It is Written
Christ came that He might restore the face to face fellowship God and man shared in the garden of Eden by calling a Word Bride back to "It is written." Now His end-time Bride is resting, listening to the voice of the Archangel whisper His secrets within her heart, placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation and disposing of theological guesswork that has a form of godliness but denies the authority of THUS SAITH THE LORD.
God is dealing with individuals, not groups. Once he dealt with individuals within the circle of the present Truth called "the nation of Israel," today He is dealing with individuals within the circle of the present Truth called "the Message." God is not redeeming systems of political, religious or corporate government, cultural or social forms, but elect individuals—one here, one there, and only a "little flock" all told.
God is omniscient. He is not now learning, nor is He taking counsel even with Himself, nor is He at any time adding to His knowledge. He has never had a new thought about anything because all His thoughts He has always had and always will have. He knows the end from the beginning because He is God. Thus the thoughts of God are eternal, they are real. Before creation He foreknew each of His elect so we are a finite number. There will never be one more, or one less. Jesus said, "All that the Father has given Me shall come to Me; and he who comes to Me I will in no way cast out." Clearly, since the number of His elect was settled from the foundation of the world and He has been calling for six thousand years, the vast majority of those predestinated to be saints have been called. This explains why there are so few Christians anywhere in the world today.
You see, God has only one place provided in which He will meet the worshipper, and that is in the Word He has promised to and is fulfilling in this day. Deuteronomy 16:5-6, "You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of the towns which the Lord your God will be giving you; but at the place which the Lord your God shall choose as the dwelling place for His Name, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at sundown, at the season of your exodus from Egypt".
God only meets man under the blood of His appointed sacrifice and in His provided place. For Israel, God's provided place of meeting was at His Temple or dwelling place in Jerusalem under the blood of the substitute natural lamb. For Christians it is in Christ where He dwells in the Truth predestinated to this present hour—not in the Word for the days of Luther, Wesley, or the Pentecostals. Their saints recognized their part of the Word and took their positions in the Body. We must walk in the Light God is manifesting now by recognizing our day and it's Message and become written epistles of the present Truth for our day (I John 1:7).
If we do not understand what God said He would do in this hour we are presuming to act in His Name without Scriptural authority. And without faith we will not know what should take place in this hour and cannot serve His purpose. We can only confront the challenges of the hour and please God if we meet them in the certainty of faith. Jesus said, "These signs will follow them that believe" and act under the inspiration of faith (Mark 16:17).
Matthew 7:21-23, "Not every one who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your Name? and in Your Name cast out demons? and in Your Name done many wonderful works? Then I will frankly tell them, I never knew you [as among My elect]: depart from Me, you who work iniquity".
Iniquity is wickedness—it is the hypocrisy of doing what you know to be evil. Those who know the will of God walk by faith not by sight, speak only what they hear by revelation from Above and do only what they see in a vision, dream or Scriptural revelation. Those who venture by blind hope in their own authority are led by emotion and reasoning.
People say, "I don't want to miss the rapture." But if they are not in the rapture as I write, they have almost certainly "missed the rapture" already. The rapture commenced in 1963 with the revelation of the Seven Seals; it is a threefold PROCESS of the revelation of the "shout" of the Message of the Prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7 awakening the wise and foolish virgin from spiritual slumber, calling, "Come out of Babylon and be filled with the Spirit" (Matthew 25:6; Revelation 18:4). This Message separates the wise and foolish virgin from the world church system and quickens the wise virgin to new birth. Next the "Voice of [Christ] the Archangel" indwelling their regenerated soul, places the Message from Genesis to Revelation to bring them to maturity in the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the great translation (I Thessalonians 4:16; Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19). The final stage of the "rapture" will not take place until after Israel's Seventh "Trump" sounds the opening of the Sixth Seal and the pouring out of the Seventh Vial at the close of the Gentile dispensation.
Everyone who has examined Brother Branham's Message in any detail will know when the Gentile dispensation has ended because Los Angeles and 1,500x300-400 miles of California and the US continental shelf will sink beneath the Pacific. At this point, Satan will be cast down to earth to incarnate the pope, and there will never be another soul redeemed, Gentile or Israelite. The "Trump" will call the resurrection of the Church Age saints and the manifestation of the Sons of God in "we who are alive and remain." This will not be a public display of the Supernatural. The resurrected saints will be unseen by the world and only appear to us at the end of the manifestation of the Sons of God to supercharge our faith in order that we may change this corruptible flesh to incorruption. Over the preceding seven weeks we will be despised and hated for our testimony, hunted and persecuted by the establishment in a time of global catastrophe unprecedented since the Great Flood, but the Lord will employ our extremities to draw us into the harmony of perfect union by the exercise of faith to furnish our needs to the intent that we might fulfil Paul's prayer of Ephesians 1:17-20:
"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Himself: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, and realize what is the inestimable riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, (which is being accomplished by the "shout and the Voice of the Archangel"), and appreciate the immeasurable greatness of His power working in us who believe Him. It is the same mighty resurrection power which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead, and made him to sit at His own right hand in the heavenly places." This will be accomplished after the "Trump" by the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God when what we say God will do, instilling faith in us for translation grace, which will work God's "resurrection power" in us as it did in Jesus.
So the secret, sudden "rapture" is a PROCESS that is developing faith in you to transform your corruptible flesh into a renewed, glorified body. This process commences with the regeneration of your soul by three distinct steps of grace through faith: justification, sanctification and the baptism with the Holy Spirit which make you, your soul, a new creation with Christ in God which is the guarantee of a new body (Ephesians 4:30; Colossians 3:3). Hereafter you must not emulate the tastes, behavior and customs of this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2). Faith places the Kingdom of God, which consists of the revealed Word of God, in us. It can only live through us as we are transformed by bringing our mind or mortal spirit to renewal, which in its turn brings our body subject to the Word and will of God written in our lives, and known and read by all who see us. Hereby we fulfill God's commandment to be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it (Genesis 1:28).
Until faith subdues and has dominion over your personal hundredweight of clay you cannot "present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service" (Romans 12:1). Judgment must begin at the house of God whose house you are if His Spirit dwells in you, so the Kingdom of God commences with "home rule".
"Faith is the confident assurance of the actual existence of things hoped for, the conviction of unseen realities. . ." confirmed by God's Word from Genesis to Revelation (Hebrews 11:3). Faith is something you know that you know that you know and can establish in the Bible without controversy. Faith is beyond belief which can be blind, and is not hope but the foundation upon which sound hope rests. Faith, if it is faith, is infallible, invincible and must come to pass. Faith is what you require in order to change in the atoms.
Faith is not determined positive thinking; neither is it willing a certain something into being, which would be self-works. Faith is a clear understanding of the mind of God in confident assurance He will realize His plan, purpose and foreknowledge as revealed, and resting expectantly in that knowledge. Therefore it is not you working, but "God working within you to will and to work His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13) and cannot fail to come to pass.
I Corinthians 13:9-13, "From Pentecost to the close of the Laodicean Church Age the saints' knowledge of God's Word was fragmentary as was their prophesying, (because the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals from the foundation of the world – Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 5:1-7; 10:4, 7). But when the fullness of the Word is unfolded through the revelation of the Seven Seals, then PART-Word and Christ's mediation for ignorance will be done away." (This transpired in March, 1963).
"When the Body was growing from infancy to maturity the saints spoke, thought and reasoned like children in the faith: but as it grew to maturity the members of Christ's Capstone Bride gave up these childish ways (as the revelation of the Seven Seals led from partial realization to perfect realization. Whereas while the Book was sealed the Church Age saints had seen the faith indistinctly as if peering at its reflection in a polished copper mirror used in old times, we understand as completely as we are understood – Hebrews 4:12). And now three things will forever continue to be present [in opposition to prophecies, tongues and knowledge which will pass away]—faith, hope, and brotherly love; but the greatest of these is love".
Love is the ultimate objective of grace, for God is love (I John 4:8) and love is the virtue represented by Christ in union with His end-time Bride in the Capstone of the pyramid. Love embraces all of the other seven virtues in the stature of the perfect Man. If you dwell in love, you dwell in God, for God is love. They who abide in God live in love. Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; is not irritable or resentful; it takes no pleasure in injustice but sides with truth. It bears everything in silence, has unquenchable faith, hopes under all circumstances, endures without limit. Love never comes to an end and after all other gifts have passed away, love will abide forever.
God's children are born of His love, not sexual lust. He plants the Seed of His Life within our soul by the foolishness of preaching. It might have been your parents, grandparents, a Sunday school or class teacher who sowed the seed that lay dormant for five, ten or sixty years until your eyes or ears received further seed which, like the elusive clue in a crossword puzzle quickened the potential energy of that dormant original seed to kinetic energy by introducing meaning and new Life as described in Newsletter #499.
God has built the Body of Christ "precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little revelation, and there a little further revelation," but the revelation that brought eternal Life in one Age, although it must be received as an integral part of the structure is no more than potential energy in succeeding Ages without the kinetic energy of the revelation of the present Truth to quicken it to Life. This explains why the Messages of Martin Luther, Wesley or the Pentecostals, although essential, cannot bring the most sanctified soul to eternal Life in this day in which God has delivered the kinetic energy of the revelation of the Seven Seals.
God's Word activated by faith in His elect transforms His expressed thoughts from partial realization to perfect realization transforming His spoken Word from understanding in their hearts to material reality.
When Peter exhorted, "Repent and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out in order that the times of refreshing may come [to you] from the Presence of the Lord." He was speaking of the baptism with the Holy Ghost or new birth during the dispensations of PART-Word when the Book was sealed and Christ was a Mediator, which would entitle the "doers" to partake the thousand years of peace, prosperity and joy when the Kingdom is restored to Israel.
"And that He may send back Jesus, the Messiah who was appointed unto Israel: whom the heaven must receive until the times wherein all things will be restored which God has spoken by the mouth of His holy prophets since the world began." This was fulfilled for the Church in 1963 when "the mystery of God, as He has declared to His servants the prophets, was finished" through the ministry of Brother Branham (Revelation 10:7). The fullness of the Word is Christ, the Creator and Sustainer of all things (Colossians 1:15-19). The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Him back to earth in W_O_R_D form through the mouth of His Prophet. Thus Brother Branham introduced Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming. After Israel's two prophets introduce His 'parousia' Coming in the fullness of the Word to the 144,000 elect Israelites, God will usher in the millennium wherein His physical creation will be restored and together with the glorified saints of all Ages, Jesus will step out on the atomic ashes of the wicked.
"For Moses has said, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you out of your brethren, like me; Him shall you hear in whatever He says."
Moses was referring to Jesus Messiah the God-Prophet who said in Matthew 17:1-11, "The Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 truly will come before My glorified physical (or Gk. 'erchomai') return, preceded by the ministry of two Hebrew prophets (Zechariah 4; Revelation 11), and he will restore the apostolic faith." So from our post-Seals perspective we know that this prophet was neither Jesus nor John the Baptist, the Elijah of Malachi 3:1 who restored nothing but "laid the ax to the root of all trees" or cut down and tore up all man-made spiritual principles of his day, and if we understand what the Prophet Jesus has promised, we will receive the ministry of the prophet William Branham.
"And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet [William Branham], will be destroyed from among the people." Or cast into the tribulation with the foolish virgin (Malachi 4:6; Matthew 25:30; Revelation 22:18-19).
The diagram of the stature of the perfect Man (linked above) illustrates how almost all of the elect have already come into Christ since the inauguration of the Church on the day of Pentecost, until today the righteous seed has just about run out: the churches are apostate, and that when the last "rainbow trout" receives the Message of the hour we can all go Home. If you imagine a cube rising from the foundation of the elect Church to the Capstone as the church world from which the elect have been hewn by the foolishness of preaching, in comparison to the Capstone Bride it is plain to see Christendom is in apostasy today.
In Matthew 13 Jesus told seven parables each pertaining to one of the Church Ages. The first four were spoken in the hearing of the mixed multitude; after He had dismissed them He explained the parable of the wheat and the tares and recited the last three parables to the twelve alone (Luke 8:10). His seventh parable describes Laodicea; not the Age so much as the spirit of "people's rights" or Judaeo-Communism that pervades the world and from whose Luciferian grasp you can escape only by being baptized into Christ through this end-time Message.
Matthew 13:47-50: "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a large drag-net, (as distinguished from a casting-net, drawing everything after it, suffering nothing to escape the Message of the Gospel sent to draw "whomsoever will"). It was cast into the sea (signifying the multitude of humanity) and gathered of every kind" (or race as Brother Branham indicated in his exposition of Hebrews wherein he compared Esau, who married into Cain's race, with nominal Christians of today who have despised the birthright, and turning from the truth to fables joined with the spiritual and physical Serpent's seed to come to their place on no more repentance – II Timothy 4:4; Matthew 24:37; Hebrews 12:16-17).
"When the net was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away."
This separation could not be made until the last elect predestinated to the Laodicean Church Age was redeemed. Christ's Mediation accomplished, Revelation 4; 5 and 10:1-7 were fulfilled, and the unveiling of the Seven Seals brought Him back to earth in W_O_R_D form (I Corinthians 13:10; I Thessalonians 4:14-16; Jude 14-15). He is no longer in the Office of Son of God and Mediator but Son of man and Judge (John 5:27), calling His end-time Bride out from the church by the fulness of the Word in the third exodus. Corresponding to the "tares" of the other parable, THUS SAITH THE LORD in the "shout" of the revelation of the Seven Seals is separating the "wise virgin" or "rainbow trout" from "the foul" or "worthless" fish "which are rejected" to "it is written" (Matthew 25:5; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 18:4).
"So will it be at the end of the [Laodicean Church] age: the angels shall come forth, and separate the wicked from the righteous. And will cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth [in the tribulation]."
The "angels" are the seven portions of the Spirit (Revelation 4:5) that anointed each of the seven Church Age Messengers to deliver the Word predestinated to baptize the saints of each Age into their position in the Body. As Jesus indicated in verses 39-41, the seven portions united into the fulness of the Spirit to unveil the fulness of the Word, which is Christ. As Brother Branham explained, "the Elijah of this day is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is to come according to Luke 17:30. It says the Son of man is to reveal Himself among His people. Not a man, God! But it'll come through a prophet" (Trying to do God a Service without it being His Will, p. 33:212).
This was signified by the Cloud of glory prophesied in Daniel 7:9, Acts 1:11, Revelation 1:7, in the Gospels, and from the pulpit by Brother Branham in December, 1962, which manifest over Sunset Mountain, Arizona, on February 28, 1963. In all the Scientific papers and articles describing this phenomenon no scientific explanation has been forthcoming. Jesus said, "When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, for your redemption draws nigh."
Matthew 13:51-58, "Then Jesus asked, Have you understood all this? They replied, Yes. Then He added, Therefore every elder who is experienced in the faith is like a householder who brings forth out of his storeroom new things and old."
The shadows and types of the Old Testament and history are brought to Life by and confirm the revelation of the New, which is the substance or promise of perfect realization that cast the shadow of partial realization reported by Moses and the prophets of the Old. Faith, if it is faith, will agree with Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.
"And when Jesus had finished these parables, He departed, and coming to His own home town of Nazareth (Mark 6:1), He taught them in their synagogue in such a way that they were amazed, and said, Whence did this Man get this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is this not the carpenter? Is not His mother called Mary? and His brothers James and Joses, Simon, and Judas? And are not all His sisters with us? Where then did this Man get all this?"
"And they took offence in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, except in his own town and house. And because of their unbelief He could not do many mighty works there".
Brother Branham's ministry revealed "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever" in fulfilment of Luke 17:28-30, the last sign promised to we Gentiles before the close of our dispensation. As a consequence he frequently experienced this impasse of unbelief. Verses 51-58 are a warning to you and I as they also speak of the spiritual state of the post Church Age world and demonstrate how the hostility of our families and neighbours toward the faith, although they regard themselves as Christians, will be inflamed once the sinking of Los Angeles engulfs the world in fear, causing men's hearts to fail in apprehension of atomic warfare, tsunamis, and further catastrophes that are about to take place (Luke 21:25-26; Revelation 6:12-17). Why? Because "It is written," and the world is again falling apart. nl530.htm

Bilderberg announces 2008 Conference
Chantilly, June 5, 2008 – The 56th Bilderberg Meeting will be held in Chantilly, Virginia, 5–8 June 2008. The Conference will deal mainly with a nuclear free world, cyber terrorism, Africa, Russia, finance, protectionism, US-EU relations, Pakistan and Afghanistan, Islam and Iran. Approximately 140 participants will attend, of whom about two-thirds come from Europe and the balance from North America. About one-third is from government and politics, and two-thirds are from finance, industry, labor, education and communications. The meeting is private in order to encourage frank and open discussion. Full story: centredaily.com
Spooks, FBI agents and cops have descended on the Westfields Marriott hotel in Chantilly . . . top CEO's, hugely influential philanthropists, heads of state, NATO officials, academic leaders, banking kingpins, and European royalty—the very people that shape the destiny of the world—can get together for three days without a single US corporate media outlet reporting on it. You certainly won't read about it in the Washington Post, the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal, since the editors of those three newspapers are all Bilderberg members.

Nuclear Explosion occurs near Epicenter of the Sichuan Earthquake
June 3, 2008 – Boxun News, a Chinese-language Web site based outside China, reported that an unnamed expert has claimed that there was a nuclear explosion near the epicenter of the Sichuan earthquake, based on witness reports and the discovery of concrete rubble believed to have come from an underground military installation. The news of this nuclear explosion has raised questions about the cause of the earthquake. . . Full story: en.epochtimes.com en.epochtimes.com
It is also suggested that experimentation being conducted at the Large Hadron Collider for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), located in Switzerland, and US military action employing HAARP are responsible for the Myanmar Cyclone on May 3, the eruption of Chile's Chaiten volcano on May 8, the earthquake in Sichuan, China, on May 12, 2008, eruptions of Kamchatka's Karymsky volcano, and Italy's Mount Etna volcano plus thousands of earthquakes in the region of Nevada.
Other HAARP-induced acts of Environmental/Scalar Warfare are said to include, the Kobe earthquake of 1995, the Sumatra earthquake and tsunami on December 26, 2006, two NASA Shuttle Disasters, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the Black Sea event of 2007, and the earthquake in Niigata, Japan in 2007.
Comment: Double, double, toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble. As postulated last year, it is looking increasingly possible that the sinking of Los Angeles will be induced by one of the factions vying for global hegemony.

Nuclear Armageddon: the Countdown
April 9, 2007 – It is already known that the US invasion of Afghanistan was planned long before 9/11. The made-for-television 9/11 extravaganza was actually used to prepare for the invasion of Iraq. When the US finally did invade Iraq, many Americans who realized that the logic was wrong still consoled themselves with the idea that their government was actually moving to secure future supplies of oil for their benefit. Was there any benefit? No. Perhaps in the future? No. The US government is not in the oil business. It doesn't pump, buy, sell or distribute petroleum products. Corporations do that. In Iraq today, after great sacrifice of lives and treasure, US and other multinational corporations now have the opportunity to control and harvest that country's oil reserves. They will profit handsomely. You will not. You will, however, be asked to pay the bill.
The objective, which has been in the works for at least two decades, is to change the ownership of the entire non-allied Middle East, under the guise of religious warfare. (Emphasis ours). After all, there must be some crazy reason why those Arab lunatics are allegedly so committed to "destroying our freedoms" while the Bush Neocon/Zionists pass law after law to actually take our freedoms and money away!
This map shows the objective.
As you can see, Iran is now pinned on both sides by Cartel-controlled forces, and is the remaining piece that needs to fall to create a solid block of Cartel-controlled territory from east to west. There is also the issue of immensely valuable pipelines that could route Russian oil all the way to the terminal at Haifa. In addition, if Syria is also destroyed or occupied, it would appear that our "Middle East problems" would reach a final solution.
You can also see that Iran is huge. The US defense budget after decades of corporate looting simply cannot support enough troops and equipment to invade and occupy Iran in a conventional manner. Nuclear weapons must be used, and in sufficient quantity to completely destroy Iran's ability to resist invasion and occupation. The only barrier to this is the simple fact that the first country to use a nuke will be condemned by the whole world and ostracized forever. The obvious solution is to fake a nuclear attack, blame it on anyone you wish, and then use all the nukes you want. . .
Now that governments are simply "fronts" for corporate cartels, there is huge pressure to bring out the nukes and finally get some "good" out of them. But no one dares be the first to use a nuclear weapon on human beings. There is only one way this can be done. Someone who already owns nukes must set one off in a way that can be blamed on someone else. Once that occurs, the gullible will be cheering when more nukes are used on the "bad guys," and our whole perception of nuclear weapons will change. Nukes will suddenly become general-purpose tools, and the Bush Doctrine, that any country can be attacked and destroyed for any reason, will become the new standard in world affairs. This will be America's sad and final legacy to the world. . . Full story: ken-welch.com
Comment: One of the United States most secret aircraft called the SR-91 Aurora (on which this Newsletter reported several years ago) was 'blasted' out of the skies over South East Asia by a US Naval ship operating in International waters off the coast of Vietnam. Russian Military Analysts further report that the trajectory of the doomed US space-plane shows it had left the vast American Military base in the Indian Ocean called Diego Garcia and headed towards the Pakistan-Iranian border before its being shot out of the sky.
Barack Obama is not going to miss the chance to get big Jewish bucks for his campaign. That's why at his June 4 2008 speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in Washington DC, Obama over-exerted himself to outdo McCain in wooing the Jews:
"Today I am among friends who share my commitment to make sure that the bond between the United States and Israel is unbreakable today, tomorrow and forever. . . I will implement a Memorandum of Understanding that provides $30 billion in assistance to Israel over the next decade. (which is less than it receives now - Ed). . .

Methodology of Global Takeover
May 27, 2008 – Regarding the global uranium business, the international bankers located within the ancient Roman "City of London" have decided that: if you control the food, you control the nation, if you control the energy, you control a region, and if you control money, you control the whole world. The City of London international bankers are the descendants of the Merchants of Venice, who are descended from those who controlled the Roman, Egyptian, and Mesopotamian empires. They invented the concept of a corporation to relieve themselves of any liability for their actions. . .
In fact 9/11 was carried out by M16, the CIA, and Mossad (intelligence agencies of England, the US and Israel) (on behalf of the Committee of 300 – ETK). 9/11 gave the ruling elite justification to repeal our Bill of Rights in the Patriot Act and Domestic Military Authorization Act (that eradicated posse comitatus), their wars in the Middle East. What do Kazakhstan and Afghanistan have in common? Lots of uranium. The ruling elite now have their eye on Siberia for its abundant oil and natural gas.

Global Cooling is Coming!
Take away the intense politics surrounding the global warming debate. Take away the self-interest groups, business interests, legal, bureaucratic and mass media influences that all seek to make a buck out of driving public hysteria over the fads and fashions of the age.
Pure science—given the history of cyclical changes in the Earth's temperatures—reveals that man has little influence on the overall surface temperature of the Earth. Man's influence on temperature is localized at best. Scientists all agree that the greatest single driver of Earth's climate is the sun, the source of our Earth's energy. . . The problem with the global warmists is that the theories of their politicized pseudo-science do not match the more exact science of those responsible for accurate measurement of global temperatures. Ocean temperatures are these days measured by 3,000 automated Argos buoys deployed in the seas. These buoys present a challenge to global warmers. "The Argos buoys have disappointed the global warm-mongers in that they have failed to detect any signs of imminent climate change. As Dr. Josh Willis, who works for NASA in its Jet Propulsion Laboratory, noted in an interview with National Public Radio, 'there has been a very slight cooling' over the buoys' five years of observation, but that drop was 'not anything really significant.' Certainly not enough to shut down the Gulf Stream" (Brookesnews.com, March 31). Added to this challenge to the global warming theorists is the evidence produced by NASA's eight weather satellites. "In contrast to some 7,000 land-based stations, they take more than 300,000 temperature readings daily over the surface of the Earth. In 30 years of operation, the satellites have recorded a warming trend of just 0.14 degrees Celsius—well within the range of normal variations" (ibid.). . .

Christian Preachers face Arrest in Birmingham
June 2, 2008 – The preachers, both ministers in Birmingham, were handing out leaflets on Alum Rock Road in February when they started talking to four Asian youths. A police community support officer (PCSO) interrupted the conversation and began questioning the ministers about their beliefs. . .
"He said we were in a Muslim area and were not allowed to spread our Christian message. He said we were committing a hate crime by telling the youths to leave Islam and said that he was going to take us to the police station". . . The ministers claim he also advised them not to return to the area. As he walked away, the PCSO said: "You have been warned. If you come back here and get beaten up, well you have been warned".

It is Written
Christ came that He might restore the face to face fellowship God and man shared in the garden of Eden by calling a Word Bride back to "It is written." Now His end-time Bride is resting, listening to the voice of the Archangel whisper His secrets within her heart, placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation and disposing of theological guesswork that has a form of godliness but denies the authority of THUS SAITH THE LORD.
God is dealing with individuals, not groups. Once he dealt with individuals within the circle of the present Truth called "the nation of Israel," today He is dealing with individuals within the circle of the present Truth called "the Message." God is not redeeming systems of political, religious or corporate government, cultural or social forms, but elect individuals—one here, one there, and only a "little flock" all told.
God is omniscient. He is not now learning, nor is He taking counsel even with Himself, nor is He at any time adding to His knowledge. He has never had a new thought about anything because all His thoughts He has always had and always will have. He knows the end from the beginning because He is God. Thus the thoughts of God are eternal, they are real. Before creation He foreknew each of His elect so we are a finite number. There will never be one more, or one less. Jesus said, "All that the Father has given Me shall come to Me; and he who comes to Me I will in no way cast out." Clearly, since the number of His elect was settled from the foundation of the world and He has been calling for six thousand years, the vast majority of those predestinated to be saints have been called. This explains why there are so few Christians anywhere in the world today.
You see, God has only one place provided in which He will meet the worshipper, and that is in the Word He has promised to and is fulfilling in this day. Deuteronomy 16:5-6, "You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of the towns which the Lord your God will be giving you; but at the place which the Lord your God shall choose as the dwelling place for His Name, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at sundown, at the season of your exodus from Egypt".
God only meets man under the blood of His appointed sacrifice and in His provided place. For Israel, God's provided place of meeting was at His Temple or dwelling place in Jerusalem under the blood of the substitute natural lamb. For Christians it is in Christ where He dwells in the Truth predestinated to this present hour—not in the Word for the days of Luther, Wesley, or the Pentecostals. Their saints recognized their part of the Word and took their positions in the Body. We must walk in the Light God is manifesting now by recognizing our day and it's Message and become written epistles of the present Truth for our day (I John 1:7).
If we do not understand what God said He would do in this hour we are presuming to act in His Name without Scriptural authority. And without faith we will not know what should take place in this hour and cannot serve His purpose. We can only confront the challenges of the hour and please God if we meet them in the certainty of faith. Jesus said, "These signs will follow them that believe" and act under the inspiration of faith (Mark 16:17).
Matthew 7:21-23, "Not every one who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your Name? and in Your Name cast out demons? and in Your Name done many wonderful works? Then I will frankly tell them, I never knew you [as among My elect]: depart from Me, you who work iniquity".
Iniquity is wickedness—it is the hypocrisy of doing what you know to be evil. Those who know the will of God walk by faith not by sight, speak only what they hear by revelation from Above and do only what they see in a vision, dream or Scriptural revelation. Those who venture by blind hope in their own authority are led by emotion and reasoning.
People say, "I don't want to miss the rapture." But if they are not in the rapture as I write, they have almost certainly "missed the rapture" already. The rapture commenced in 1963 with the revelation of the Seven Seals; it is a threefold PROCESS of the revelation of the "shout" of the Message of the Prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7 awakening the wise and foolish virgin from spiritual slumber, calling, "Come out of Babylon and be filled with the Spirit" (Matthew 25:6; Revelation 18:4). This Message separates the wise and foolish virgin from the world church system and quickens the wise virgin to new birth. Next the "Voice of [Christ] the Archangel" indwelling their regenerated soul, places the Message from Genesis to Revelation to bring them to maturity in the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the great translation (I Thessalonians 4:16; Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19). The final stage of the "rapture" will not take place until after Israel's Seventh "Trump" sounds the opening of the Sixth Seal and the pouring out of the Seventh Vial at the close of the Gentile dispensation.
Everyone who has examined Brother Branham's Message in any detail will know when the Gentile dispensation has ended because Los Angeles and 1,500x300-400 miles of California and the US continental shelf will sink beneath the Pacific. At this point, Satan will be cast down to earth to incarnate the pope, and there will never be another soul redeemed, Gentile or Israelite. The "Trump" will call the resurrection of the Church Age saints and the manifestation of the Sons of God in "we who are alive and remain." This will not be a public display of the Supernatural. The resurrected saints will be unseen by the world and only appear to us at the end of the manifestation of the Sons of God to supercharge our faith in order that we may change this corruptible flesh to incorruption. Over the preceding seven weeks we will be despised and hated for our testimony, hunted and persecuted by the establishment in a time of global catastrophe unprecedented since the Great Flood, but the Lord will employ our extremities to draw us into the harmony of perfect union by the exercise of faith to furnish our needs to the intent that we might fulfil Paul's prayer of Ephesians 1:17-20:
"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Himself: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, and realize what is the inestimable riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, (which is being accomplished by the "shout and the Voice of the Archangel"), and appreciate the immeasurable greatness of His power working in us who believe Him. It is the same mighty resurrection power which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead, and made him to sit at His own right hand in the heavenly places." This will be accomplished after the "Trump" by the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God when what we say God will do, instilling faith in us for translation grace, which will work God's "resurrection power" in us as it did in Jesus.
So the secret, sudden "rapture" is a PROCESS that is developing faith in you to transform your corruptible flesh into a renewed, glorified body. This process commences with the regeneration of your soul by three distinct steps of grace through faith: justification, sanctification and the baptism with the Holy Spirit which make you, your soul, a new creation with Christ in God which is the guarantee of a new body (Ephesians 4:30; Colossians 3:3). Hereafter you must not emulate the tastes, behavior and customs of this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2). Faith places the Kingdom of God, which consists of the revealed Word of God, in us. It can only live through us as we are transformed by bringing our mind or mortal spirit to renewal, which in its turn brings our body subject to the Word and will of God written in our lives, and known and read by all who see us. Hereby we fulfill God's commandment to be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it (Genesis 1:28).
Until faith subdues and has dominion over your personal hundredweight of clay you cannot "present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service" (Romans 12:1). Judgment must begin at the house of God whose house you are if His Spirit dwells in you, so the Kingdom of God commences with "home rule".
"Faith is the confident assurance of the actual existence of things hoped for, the conviction of unseen realities. . ." confirmed by God's Word from Genesis to Revelation (Hebrews 11:3). Faith is something you know that you know that you know and can establish in the Bible without controversy. Faith is beyond belief which can be blind, and is not hope but the foundation upon which sound hope rests. Faith, if it is faith, is infallible, invincible and must come to pass. Faith is what you require in order to change in the atoms.
Faith is not determined positive thinking; neither is it willing a certain something into being, which would be self-works. Faith is a clear understanding of the mind of God in confident assurance He will realize His plan, purpose and foreknowledge as revealed, and resting expectantly in that knowledge. Therefore it is not you working, but "God working within you to will and to work His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13) and cannot fail to come to pass.
I Corinthians 13:9-13, "From Pentecost to the close of the Laodicean Church Age the saints' knowledge of God's Word was fragmentary as was their prophesying, (because the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals from the foundation of the world – Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 5:1-7; 10:4, 7). But when the fullness of the Word is unfolded through the revelation of the Seven Seals, then PART-Word and Christ's mediation for ignorance will be done away." (This transpired in March, 1963).
"When the Body was growing from infancy to maturity the saints spoke, thought and reasoned like children in the faith: but as it grew to maturity the members of Christ's Capstone Bride gave up these childish ways (as the revelation of the Seven Seals led from partial realization to perfect realization. Whereas while the Book was sealed the Church Age saints had seen the faith indistinctly as if peering at its reflection in a polished copper mirror used in old times, we understand as completely as we are understood – Hebrews 4:12). And now three things will forever continue to be present [in opposition to prophecies, tongues and knowledge which will pass away]—faith, hope, and brotherly love; but the greatest of these is love".
Love is the ultimate objective of grace, for God is love (I John 4:8) and love is the virtue represented by Christ in union with His end-time Bride in the Capstone of the pyramid. Love embraces all of the other seven virtues in the stature of the perfect Man. If you dwell in love, you dwell in God, for God is love. They who abide in God live in love. Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; is not irritable or resentful; it takes no pleasure in injustice but sides with truth. It bears everything in silence, has unquenchable faith, hopes under all circumstances, endures without limit. Love never comes to an end and after all other gifts have passed away, love will abide forever.
God's children are born of His love, not sexual lust. He plants the Seed of His Life within our soul by the foolishness of preaching. It might have been your parents, grandparents, a Sunday school or class teacher who sowed the seed that lay dormant for five, ten or sixty years until your eyes or ears received further seed which, like the elusive clue in a crossword puzzle quickened the potential energy of that dormant original seed to kinetic energy by introducing meaning and new Life as described in Newsletter #499.
God has built the Body of Christ "precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little revelation, and there a little further revelation," but the revelation that brought eternal Life in one Age, although it must be received as an integral part of the structure is no more than potential energy in succeeding Ages without the kinetic energy of the revelation of the present Truth to quicken it to Life. This explains why the Messages of Martin Luther, Wesley or the Pentecostals, although essential, cannot bring the most sanctified soul to eternal Life in this day in which God has delivered the kinetic energy of the revelation of the Seven Seals.
God's Word activated by faith in His elect transforms His expressed thoughts from partial realization to perfect realization transforming His spoken Word from understanding in their hearts to material reality.
When Peter exhorted, "Repent and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out in order that the times of refreshing may come [to you] from the Presence of the Lord." He was speaking of the baptism with the Holy Ghost or new birth during the dispensations of PART-Word when the Book was sealed and Christ was a Mediator, which would entitle the "doers" to partake the thousand years of peace, prosperity and joy when the Kingdom is restored to Israel.
"And that He may send back Jesus, the Messiah who was appointed unto Israel: whom the heaven must receive until the times wherein all things will be restored which God has spoken by the mouth of His holy prophets since the world began." This was fulfilled for the Church in 1963 when "the mystery of God, as He has declared to His servants the prophets, was finished" through the ministry of Brother Branham (Revelation 10:7). The fullness of the Word is Christ, the Creator and Sustainer of all things (Colossians 1:15-19). The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Him back to earth in W_O_R_D form through the mouth of His Prophet. Thus Brother Branham introduced Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming. After Israel's two prophets introduce His 'parousia' Coming in the fullness of the Word to the 144,000 elect Israelites, God will usher in the millennium wherein His physical creation will be restored and together with the glorified saints of all Ages, Jesus will step out on the atomic ashes of the wicked.
"For Moses has said, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you out of your brethren, like me; Him shall you hear in whatever He says."
Moses was referring to Jesus Messiah the God-Prophet who said in Matthew 17:1-11, "The Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 truly will come before My glorified physical (or Gk. 'erchomai') return, preceded by the ministry of two Hebrew prophets (Zechariah 4; Revelation 11), and he will restore the apostolic faith." So from our post-Seals perspective we know that this prophet was neither Jesus nor John the Baptist, the Elijah of Malachi 3:1 who restored nothing but "laid the ax to the root of all trees" or cut down and tore up all man-made spiritual principles of his day, and if we understand what the Prophet Jesus has promised, we will receive the ministry of the prophet William Branham.
"And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet [William Branham], will be destroyed from among the people." Or cast into the tribulation with the foolish virgin (Malachi 4:6; Matthew 25:30; Revelation 22:18-19).
The diagram of the stature of the perfect Man (linked above) illustrates how almost all of the elect have already come into Christ since the inauguration of the Church on the day of Pentecost, until today the righteous seed has just about run out: the churches are apostate, and that when the last "rainbow trout" receives the Message of the hour we can all go Home. If you imagine a cube rising from the foundation of the elect Church to the Capstone as the church world from which the elect have been hewn by the foolishness of preaching, in comparison to the Capstone Bride it is plain to see Christendom is in apostasy today.
In Matthew 13 Jesus told seven parables each pertaining to one of the Church Ages. The first four were spoken in the hearing of the mixed multitude; after He had dismissed them He explained the parable of the wheat and the tares and recited the last three parables to the twelve alone (Luke 8:10). His seventh parable describes Laodicea; not the Age so much as the spirit of "people's rights" or Judaeo-Communism that pervades the world and from whose Luciferian grasp you can escape only by being baptized into Christ through this end-time Message.
Matthew 13:47-50: "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a large drag-net, (as distinguished from a casting-net, drawing everything after it, suffering nothing to escape the Message of the Gospel sent to draw "whomsoever will"). It was cast into the sea (signifying the multitude of humanity) and gathered of every kind" (or race as Brother Branham indicated in his exposition of Hebrews wherein he compared Esau, who married into Cain's race, with nominal Christians of today who have despised the birthright, and turning from the truth to fables joined with the spiritual and physical Serpent's seed to come to their place on no more repentance – II Timothy 4:4; Matthew 24:37; Hebrews 12:16-17).
"When the net was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away."
This separation could not be made until the last elect predestinated to the Laodicean Church Age was redeemed. Christ's Mediation accomplished, Revelation 4; 5 and 10:1-7 were fulfilled, and the unveiling of the Seven Seals brought Him back to earth in W_O_R_D form (I Corinthians 13:10; I Thessalonians 4:14-16; Jude 14-15). He is no longer in the Office of Son of God and Mediator but Son of man and Judge (John 5:27), calling His end-time Bride out from the church by the fulness of the Word in the third exodus. Corresponding to the "tares" of the other parable, THUS SAITH THE LORD in the "shout" of the revelation of the Seven Seals is separating the "wise virgin" or "rainbow trout" from "the foul" or "worthless" fish "which are rejected" to "it is written" (Matthew 25:5; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 18:4).
"So will it be at the end of the [Laodicean Church] age: the angels shall come forth, and separate the wicked from the righteous. And will cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth [in the tribulation]."
The "angels" are the seven portions of the Spirit (Revelation 4:5) that anointed each of the seven Church Age Messengers to deliver the Word predestinated to baptize the saints of each Age into their position in the Body. As Jesus indicated in verses 39-41, the seven portions united into the fulness of the Spirit to unveil the fulness of the Word, which is Christ. As Brother Branham explained, "the Elijah of this day is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is to come according to Luke 17:30. It says the Son of man is to reveal Himself among His people. Not a man, God! But it'll come through a prophet" (Trying to do God a Service without it being His Will, p. 33:212).
This was signified by the Cloud of glory prophesied in Daniel 7:9, Acts 1:11, Revelation 1:7, in the Gospels, and from the pulpit by Brother Branham in December, 1962, which manifest over Sunset Mountain, Arizona, on February 28, 1963. In all the Scientific papers and articles describing this phenomenon no scientific explanation has been forthcoming. Jesus said, "When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, for your redemption draws nigh."
Matthew 13:51-58, "Then Jesus asked, Have you understood all this? They replied, Yes. Then He added, Therefore every elder who is experienced in the faith is like a householder who brings forth out of his storeroom new things and old."
The shadows and types of the Old Testament and history are brought to Life by and confirm the revelation of the New, which is the substance or promise of perfect realization that cast the shadow of partial realization reported by Moses and the prophets of the Old. Faith, if it is faith, will agree with Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.
"And when Jesus had finished these parables, He departed, and coming to His own home town of Nazareth (Mark 6:1), He taught them in their synagogue in such a way that they were amazed, and said, Whence did this Man get this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is this not the carpenter? Is not His mother called Mary? and His brothers James and Joses, Simon, and Judas? And are not all His sisters with us? Where then did this Man get all this?"
"And they took offence in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, except in his own town and house. And because of their unbelief He could not do many mighty works there".
Brother Branham's ministry revealed "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever" in fulfilment of Luke 17:28-30, the last sign promised to we Gentiles before the close of our dispensation. As a consequence he frequently experienced this impasse of unbelief. Verses 51-58 are a warning to you and I as they also speak of the spiritual state of the post Church Age world and demonstrate how the hostility of our families and neighbours toward the faith, although they regard themselves as Christians, will be inflamed once the sinking of Los Angeles engulfs the world in fear, causing men's hearts to fail in apprehension of atomic warfare, tsunamis, and further catastrophes that are about to take place (Luke 21:25-26; Revelation 6:12-17). Why? Because "It is written," and the world is again falling apart. nl530.htm
