Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Recently I received an email being distributed within the circle of this Message promoting the pre-planned official "history" of 9/11 which is chutzpah aimed at unthinking, unspiritual people whose reality is the strong delusion indoctrinated aurally or visually by our alien-controlled media, education and the entertainment industry to infuse unquestioned learning without "proving all things" (I Thessalonians 5:21; Acts 17:11). This generation is ignorant of the fact that after World War I the tax-exempt Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (sic) and Rockefeller Foundation were funding leftist propaganda operations, aimed at changing America through the brain, not the battlefield. Patriotism, national sovereignty, individual responsibility and Christian beliefs were belittled, while the concepts of a one world government, socialism, collectivism and humanism were deemed essential for peace—without the Prince of Peace—in the modern age.
Precisely as Jewish "insider" George Orwell warned in his book, "1984," these foundations decided that the most effective method of achieving this goal would be by altering American History, so they awarded grants, fellowships and scholarships to those professors and historians who would rewrite American history and promote one-worldism, humanism and socialism. As found by the Reece Committee of the US Congress, "They divided the task in parts, giving to the Rockefeller Foundation the responsibility of altering education as it pertains to domestic subjects, but Carnegie retained the task of altering our education in foreign affairs and about international relations".
Most, particularly Americans overcome by the Spirit of Laodicea and the fantasy of past glory, inhabit this dreamland fool's paradise conjured up by the sorcery of alien-controlled media, education and entertainment (Revelation 9:21; 18:23). Most in the circle of this Message are rich in learning the "letter" of the Prophet's quotes, but naked of the Blood being spiritually bankrupt of revelation, wretched, miserable and blind to their own condition and the fact their nation is occupied and ruled by the physical descendants of Cain.
Brother Branham likened President Kennedy to Ahab controlled by Jezebel, who was Serpent's seed and the daughter of a pagan priest-king who murdered his predecessor as the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church is a daughter of the Serpent's seed who murdered the One who became Priest and as Son of Man is now King of kings and Judge. Most Americans in the circle of this Message have no idea who controls the United States. Like most if not all other countries it was never "free" but subject to the enemy of God and Adam's race.
'The Jihad Candidate' email was obviously crafted to disguise the complicity of the US Administration in 9/11 by implicating and directing hatred toward innocent Muslim people masked behind criticism of the Democratic presidential nominee, who, like the Republican candidate was chosen to serve the CFR and Trilateral Commission's one world government agenda. The bigoted author of this propaganda is neither Christian nor Muslim and more than likely aligned with those behind the corrupt Scofield Bible whose footnotes serve as a snare to entice the weak-minded to scapegoat Islam and Muslims generally for the pre-planned conflict into which they are being provoked as Japan was pushed into attacking Hawaii.
With these words we welcome two new guest contributors: Brother Jim Schwiesow is a retired sheriff with 46 years of law enforcement service. He served with the United States Army occupation forces in post war Berlin, as a municipal police officer, and for twenty-eight years as a duly elected sheriff. He loves the Lord and may be found at Sheriff Jim Online.
Brother Roger Kent Pool's essay uncovers true American history and compliments the work of James Montgomery and others in the Natural Resources Area of our Website. As with me, his "awakening" took place in Hong Kong, a former Crown Colony of 'the City of London.' His testimony is published on his website.
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

Little War Criminals get punished, Big Ones Don't
July 16, 2008 – National Public Radio has been spending much news time on Darfur in Western Sudan where a great deal of human suffering and death are occurring. . . Now an International Criminal Court prosecutor wants to bring charges against Sudan’s president, Omar al-Bashir, for crimes against humanity and war crimes. . .
Why al-Bashir? Is it because Sudan is a powerless state, and the International Criminal Court hasn't the courage to name George W. Bush and Tony Blair as war criminals? . .
Every week the Israeli government evicts Palestinians from their homes, steals their land, and kills Palestinian women and children. These crimes against humanity have been going on for decades. Except for a few Israeli human rights organizations, no one complains about it. Palestinians are defined as "terrorists," and "terrorists" can be treated inhumanely without complaint. . .
Last October the Atlanta Journal-Constitution had a photo on its front page above the fold of an elderly man with mikes shoved in his face. Paul Henss, 85 years old, is being deported from the US, where he has lived for 53 years, because Eli Rosenbaum, director the US State Department’s Nazi-hunting bureaucracy, declared him a war criminal for training guard dogs used at German concentration camps. Henss was 22 years old when World War II ended.
A kid who trained guard dogs is being deported as a war criminal, but the head of state who launched two wars of naked aggression, resulting in the deaths of more than 1.2 million people, and who has the entire world on edge awaiting his third war of aggression, this time against Iran, is received respectfully by foreign governments. . . Does no one see the paradox of deporting Henss while leaving the war criminal in the White House? Full story: dandelionsalad.wordpress.com

Détente or Hidden Agendas? A sign of 'The Times'
July 15, 2008 – Back in 2003 I wrote, "If 'world peace' is our main concern, we must achieve a balance of power, we must let the oppressed people of this world have access to the most advanced weaponry. . . Balance of power is the only key to peace." Nowadays, when Israel and its supportive lobbies are doing everything within their powers to drag us all into a third world war, I find it necessary to say it again. The only way to spare the Middle East and the entire world from another devastating cycle of bloodshed is to let the Iranians have their nuclear toy. But it goes even further, seemingly, the only way to save the Jewish state from its merciless parade of belligerent omnipotence is to let Iran join the nuclear club ASAP. The only thing that may cool down the Zionist militant genocidal enthusiasm is an overwhelming Iranian might of deterrence.
But it isn't only Iran. The only possible way to bring peace to the region is to equip Syria, the Hezbollah and the Hamas with the exact weaponry that would help make the Israelis think twice. As much as the Israelis love to punish their enemies they really hate to pay the ultimate price. Once the Israelis become aware of the clear possibility of their own destruction, they may rapidly develop some real inclination towards peace and reconciliation.
Yet, we have to remember that Israel is not alone in this lethal game. According to The Sunday Times, "President George W. Bush has told the Israeli government that he may be prepared to approve a future military strike on an Iranian nuclear plant. . . Despite the opposition of his own generals and widespread skepticism that America is ready to risk the military, political and economic consequences of an airborne strike on Iran, the president has given an 'amber light' to an Israeli plan to attack Iran’s main nuclear sites with long-range bombing sorties".
Seemingly, we are not in any shortage of lunatics. For more than a while, we are fully aware that the road from Jerusalem to Washington is a soaking red route. However, there is something rather faulty or even amusing in the western argument for a war. According to our western analysts, President Ahmadinejad is really unpopular amongst his people and he is on his way out. The Sunday Times' editorial informed us yesterday that: "Last year a Tehran website poll of 20,000 people found that 62.5% of those who voted for him (Ahmadinejad) in 2005 would not do so in next year's presidential election." I am slightly puzzled. If this is indeed the case, if the Iranian president is politically ruined, why are we so keen to initiate another world war? Wouldn't it be better to wait for a few months and let this Ahmadinejad be ousted by his own people? Apparently, The Sunday Times and our very many Neocons do not believe their own lies.
In its editorial The Sunday Times tries to give the impression that Ahmadinejad is taking his people into war just to divert the attention from his policy that is failing at home. "With inflation running at an estimated 14% and one-third of the population unemployed, Ahmadinejad's goal of 'putting the petroleum income on people's tables' is as distant as ever."
I would be rather suspicious about The Sunday Times' reading of Iranian current internal affairs as much as I was suspicious of the paper’s reading of Iraqi WMD situation. However, I better admit it, I do not live in Iran. In fact, I live in the West, in London to be specific. And it is actually in London where I see a growing dismay having to do with very cloudy financial predictions. It is in London where I read about the collapse of major western financial institutions. It is in London where I detect a growing recession and a threat of financial depression.
I ask myself whether The Times' faulty reading of Ahmadinejad is nothing but a banal projection? I assume this is indeed the case. In fact it is the other way around. It is our western leaders who are failing to provide for their constituencies and citizens. It is our Western leaders who are taking us to wars just to cover their disastrous malfunctioning. It is our western leaders who are about to initiate a world war just to whitewash the collapse of the western capitalistic dream.
One has to be blind not to see it all. Full story: palestinethinktank.com
Comment: Jewish subscriber Gilad Atzmon confirms the Words of Jesus Messiah, "apostate Christendom is as spiritually blind as apostate Israel, and knows it not" (Revelation 3:17). Whenever the Zionist-controlled press accuses others of a crime or a potential for crime the simple truth is that it is they who are either planning or have instigated such an event. This is clear from the so-called holocaust hoax of the six million Jews is World War I, the holocaust hoax of six million Jews between the wars, and the holocaust hoax of six million Jews in World War II. Throughout this period Jews really murdered 66 million mainly nominal Christians in the USSR, plus nine to eleven million Germans after war's end. Among the Russians viciously murdered by the Jews were Tsar Nicholas II, his wife, Tsaritsa Alexandra, their son and their four daughters, cut down in a brutal hail of gunfire. This is the ninetieth anniversary of their murder.
Pot can't call kettle black: "No president has ever had a higher disapproval rating in any CNN or Gallup Poll. A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released May 1, 2008 indicates that 71 percent of the American public disapprove of how Bush is handling his job as president." His economic performance the worst since Herbert Hoover, wholesale inflation is the worst in 27 years and considering the decline of the dollar, US inflation far exceeds that of Iran.

Man sues Bible Publisher over Verses condemning Homosexuality
July 14, 2008 – Bradley LaShawn Fowler, a 39-year old self-avowed homosexual from Canton, Michigan, seeks $60 million from Zondervan, a major publisher of religious books, and an additional $10 million from Thomas Nelson Publishing in his lawsuits filed in the federal court for the Eastern District of Michigan. . .
"I believe this self-representation business is a sham. I suspect some big-money organization or a wealthy benefactor is providing the finances for this obscene abuse of the legal system and the US Constitution's 'separation of church and state' tradition. Are Christians really going to allow some gay activist and a black-robed lawyer to decide how the Bible is written?" asks political strategist Mike Baker. . . Full story: newswithviews.com

Canadian ISPs plan Net Censorship
Bell Canada and TELUS, Canada's two largest Internet service providers (ISPs), will begin charging per-site fees on most Internet sites, report anonymous sources within TELUS.
The plans made by the large telecom businesses would change the Internet into a cable-like system, where customers sign up for specific web sites, and must pay to see each individual site beyond a certain point. Subscription browsing would be limited, extra fees would be applied to access out-of-network sites. Many sites would be blocked altogether.
"Inside sources from bigger companies gave us the information on how exclusivity deals are being made at this moment between ISPs and big content providers (like TV production studios and major video game publishers) to decide which web sites will be in the 'standard package' offered to their customers, leaving all the rest of the Internet unreachable unless you pay extra subscription fees per every 'non-standard' site you visit." I Power spokesperson Reese Leysen said, "We knew the source to be 100% reliable, but we also knew the story would be highly controversial if we released the information. We did it because we knew that we'd get more official confirmations once we'd come forward with it. And indeed that is what happened. Dylan Pattyn, who is writing the soon-to-be published article for Time Magazine, received confirmation from sources within Bell Canada and TELUS after we released the information. . ."

Once upon a Time, there was The Constitution of the United States of America
Below are two quotes from the case law of the United States that express in unambiguous terms the essential principle on which the Constitution and the system of laws grounded on the Constitution are based. There is nothing fuzzy about this foundational principle. It is as hard as rock: Acts not consistent with the Constitution are forbidden.
There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the Constitution. It would serve us as well today as it ever did if we required faithful adherence to it. The deterioration of our social order is not to be blamed on the Constitution. It is the result of a largely unspoken intention now pervading our government under the influence of the alien element now controlling our institutions and our government that the Constitution is to be ignored, misinterpreted, debauched or bastardized when necessary to carry out the intentions of those who control our Country. These are a people who do not care a fig for the Constitutional foundation of America. Nor do they care about the Christian origins of America. Nor do they respect the pride Americans take in what they have accomplished. They are a people whose roots lie in an authoritarian, totalitarian social order, a form of society as remote from democratic constitutionalism as it is possible to be. They are the predators with a crocodilian appetite. Sadly, most Americans are totally unaware of this.
No one can say that we Americans did not have in our Constitution a great protective fortification against our enemies. Nor can anyone say that we have fought mightily to defend against the destruction of our Constitution, as we would fight to preserve our very lives. Spirited Americans who understand the vital importance of preserving our Constitution have almost disappeared. Our future now is largely in the hands of an ignorant, careless rabble, easily manipulated by the alien devils who have captured all seats of power in our Country. By what means is this appalling circumstance to be remedied?
Here is the essence of any legal protection Americans and their society have ever had:
"The United States is entirely a creature of the Constitution. Its power and authority have no other source. It can only act in accordance with all the limitations imposed by the Constitution." Reid v Covert 354 US l (1957).
"All laws repugnant to the Constitution are null and void." Marbury v Madison, 5 US 137 (1803).

Our Prognosis is Terminal
By Jim R. Schwiesow © 2008 - All Rights Reserved
"Whatever we once were, we're no longer just a Christian nation; we are a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation and a nation of non-believers. . ." — Barack Hussein Obama
"Somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and started being used to drive us apart. It got hijacked. Part of it's because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right"
— Barack Hussein Obama
AND THEREIN LIES THE CRUX OF THE DEMISE OF THE UNITED STATES
The United States has entered into the terminal stage of its final days not only as a world power, but also as a sovereign independent nation. It is with wonderment and a bit of mystification that one notes that the Eternal has used an agent of the new world order, a godless secularist purveyor of the universalistic doctrines of occultist origins to announce to all of this nation, and to the nations of the world, the sole and precipitating cause of the fall from grace of one of the most historically powerful nations to ever exist. Yet, He has done just that by provoking the previously referenced words to fall from the mouth of no less than Barak Hussein Obama, an unlikely prophet indeed—a pagan, but an altogether unwitting emissary of Almighty God as evidenced by the accuracy of his words.
We are indeed not a Christian nation and have not been a Christian nation for nigh onto a generation, hence the steady and ever escalating decent into the subterraneous kingdom of Satan the god of this world and the titular head of the United States today.
The ascendancy in this nation of heathen religions, Christian denominational endorsed universalism and globalist economics, politics and culture, foreshadows an ultimate deliverance of the nation unto end time events that will exceed the mental pictures of even the most discerning of Biblical scholars. We are destined to meet and exceed the fate of the old-testament nations that spurned the God of Creation, declined His Word, denied His power and prostrated themselves before false gods. Hard upon the fiery fall of the United States those who have survived this (real) holocaust will be delivered into the hands of foreign enemies and in such captivity will await the final struggles and demise of the one world satanic kingdom, a seemingly fitting fate for a nation and a people that delivers its live babies into the hands of murdering executioners as a sacrifice to the god of hedonism.
Despite the claims that the elitists and our government have carried out the pursuit of their one world agenda clandestinely one would have to be on another planet to not understand that the supposed intrigues are not intrigues at all, but that the rapidly progressing agendum is being carried out openly with an impudent in your face aggressiveness. The agents of a godless society and a satanic one-world order have correctly discerned that they have nothing to fear from the drones that are completely occupied with the pursuit of their hedonistic pleasures and lined up like hogs at a trough for government handouts. We are a completely ignorant people—deluded to the core—and have been combed over for a susceptibility to the carefully planned inducements by the elites to buy our acquiescence to whatever will further their ultimate goals.
A people without God have no spiritual discernment and therefore have no wisdom. We clamor after academicians and the so-called super intelligent and think their works brilliant. Yet everything that they turn their hand to carries the seeds of our ultimate destruction. God has drawn a veil between their conceptions and the ultimate outcome of their mind creations. Since they believe that God is an imaginary being or a senile and benevolent oracular and that they are the ultimate intelligence, gods unto themselves, they tamper with that which has been designed by an unlimited spiritual mind; the mind that created the Universe and all that is in the Universe including the Earth and every living creature upon the Earth.
We regress all the while that we think we progress. The Almighty is allowing the people of this nation to self-destruct and given the delusion that is upon our people it is evident that we are well along the road to self-annihilation, there will be no national redemption from such, only a personal spiritual awakening and an abject repentance and atonement at foot of the throne of our eternal God.
We labor under a heavy yoke that has been placed upon our neck, with God’s Acquiescence, by our now fascist government, a government under the auspices of an unrestrained totalitarian president and an equally totalistic congress comprised of a single-minded collaborate party of two labels; all of which is controlled by the international corporatists. Once we had a government of and by the people, but our government has been remodeled so as to coordinate the machinery to impose the will of the state upon the people. A carefully crafted neo-fascist political platform has systematically negated constitutional protections and is yet boldly stealing the pitiful vestiges of what remains of our liberties.
The transformation of our political office holders and bureaucratic civil employees from servants of the people to social ideologues has been a gift to the elitists of the industrial and financial complex who are able to buy the loyalty of congressional incumbents and their bureaucratic agents in exchange for support of the heretical social goals of entrenched legislators and their slavish cohorts. Neocon operatives, as servants of the new order, pave the way for these internationalist corporate fascists who are now in the catbird’s seat and well situated to carry out their agenda; wars are their bread and butter, a way for them to realize huge financial excesses and to consolidate their control over world resources. They are an anathema to freedom and individual liberties, and their control of the political processes of a nation with a still formidable, but rapidly diminishing, military has enabled for them huge gains in regard to world control. They have no loyalties and are worldly-minded. National allegiances mean nothing to them as is evidenced by their totally unaffectionate abandoning of the United States as a location for their enterprises. They are the ultimate parasite and will not be satiated until they have consumed their hosts and sit at the foot of a world throne of Satan.
Many contend that it is these—of whom I have just written—who are the causes of the destructive elements that are upon us. They strive mightily to engage others to unite in programs, and to collaborate in activities, to rid the nation of social and governmental rogues, the deceitful scoundrels who oppress us, steal our freedoms and deliver us unto the satanic lusts of those of the new world order. They seem not to comprehend that it is the people—a godless and perverted people—of an iniquitous and degenerate mind that are perfectly and utterly responsible for the deterioration of our system and our society, and for the degenerates who rule over us. These, the megalomaniacal oppressors who suppress our freedoms, steal our dignity and consign us to the dung heap of humanity are of our own creation and are simply the first in a long line of afflictions that will rapidly fall upon us.
Our Sovereign God has moved aside and has turned us over to the consequences of our own iniquities. Our simple carnal minds harbor the seeds of self-destruction, we are our own worst enemy and all that befalls us is of our own making. We have been given over to Satan the god of this world, the old serpent, who is the epitome of evil and a venomous hater of mankind; our fate will not be kind. Only He who loves us has the power to save us, hallowed be His Name.
"And if you will not yet for all this hearken unto Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: and your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. And if you walk contrary unto Me, and will not hearken unto Me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate. And if you will not be reformed by Me by these things, but will walk contrary unto Me; Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of My covenant: and when you are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy" (Leviticus 18-25).

Who are these Enemies of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
By Roger Kent Pool © 2008 - All Rights Reserved
Most people would at first say: Arab terrorists, rouge nations, domestic malcontents, criminals or confused and lawless people who hate to be told what to do. This sounds reasonable to them and they support the apparatus they believe is protecting their interests. In their minds it is "Un-American", "Un-Patriotic", "Treasonous" or an act of "Terrorism" to oppose "liberty." We accept the frequent abuse of "law" enforcement and blame over-zealousness, incompetence or a "willing sacrifice" that must be made to ensure the "freedom" of the majority. Truly "patriotic" Americans seldom ask themselves, "What if this abuse is not accidental? If it is intentional and pre-planned, what am I missing?" The truth is: Americans are missing and have missed quite a lot, and for quite some time.
Americans owe it to themselves to understand what is deliberately being done to them and to what they are consenting. Many are not aware that they have a fatal misunderstanding about what the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA actually is. Oh, they have a firm understanding about what they think it stands for but Americans have no idea that their perception is completely wrong. For instance: when President Bush referred to the Constitution as, "Just a goddamned piece of paper," some attributed this to a momentary lapse; some agreed and pointed to the fact that the people wield the power so the document is superfluous. What if George W. Bush was giving us a hint and spilling the truth right in front of our faces? Is he simply testing us to see if we recognize the trick?
What you, the reader, are about to be taught, you will not want to hear. It will make you angry. Suspend your anger and come to a reasoned and deliberate conclusion yourself. Do your own research and discover that what I present has always been right in front of our faces. Much of the material will be new to many and it would never be taught anywhere else because "those who think they rule" are content that people should remain ignorant of the truth. It is time Americans face and accept the truth if ever they want the country to be the country they believe it should be. Do not let your anger get the better of you such that you would contemplate violence. Violence is never the answer to a grievance. Education and truth is the most powerful and effective means for correcting that which has gone wrong.
The Universal Misconception
First let us look at some fundamental truths. The Republic of these united States (capitalization is correct) was indeed created by the will of the people through the execution of the indictment we know as the Declaration of Independence and the document known as the Constitution of these united States. Now why do I say "united States" and not "United States" or more accurately "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"? Under law two different entities cannot be referred to using the same name. Most are asking themselves, "what do you mean? You mean to tell me there is more than one thing known as the United States?" The answer is yes and the evidence can be found in a pledge most American have uttered hundreds of times without consciously knowing what the words mean.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and to the Republic for which it stands. . ."
The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA "stands for", "stands in place of" or "represents" the Republic of these united States. They are not the same, so under law they must have different names. Capitalization is critical in law and a difference in capitalization is sufficient to indicate one or more different legal and lawful entities. When we "speak" one cannot distinguish the difference between the "UNITED STATES" and "united States." More importantly, when we say "united States" it is taken under US code to refer not to the Republic but something else entirely. I realize it is splitting hairs but in law hairs are split more often than not.
The Republic Was Dissolved
Some say the Republic was dead after the Patriot Act. Some say it was the Martial Law Act of 1933. Some say it was in 1913 with the advent of the IRS and the Federal Reserve. Some say it was the 14th Amendment and Reconstruction. Many others believe it was the Civil War that spelled the end of the Republic. The Republic was very nearly dead on arrival but it was important to maintain the appearance of a Republic in order to continue the deception so that the people of America would believe they were self-governed under fair and equitable principles. If the American people had known the truth they would have demanded changes more than 200 years ago.
We assume that we won the Revolutionary War and the actual winners were quite content for us believe that was the case. The banking interests who wholly controlled King George were not happy that these unruly Americans thought they could just go out and operate their own money system independent of the world banking cabal. One must remember what Mayer Amschel Rothschild said:
"Give me control over a nation's currency, and I care not who makes its laws."
When did central banking gain control of the currency of the Republic? In 1791, right after we gained our "independence" from British Monarchy the Bank of North America, a foreign-owned, foreign-controlled and foreign-operated independent central bank was granted a twenty-year charter to operate in direct contravention of the Constitution. Many of the founding fathers took issue and recognized this event for the completely un-Constitutional act that it was.
The other glaring breach was the fact that there were BAR-licensed lawyers serving as officers in the Government of the Republic and in many of the States governments. So serious was this state of affairs that the States ratified the first 13th Amendment barring people who held title of foreign nobility from holding in office. This was ratified by a majority of states in 1811; the last state to ratify was Virginia in 1819. Why is this important? One must understand what a BAR-licensed lawyer or attorney actual is. BAR stands for British Accreditation Registry. Under the British Monarchy, one who is a member of the BAR receives the rank of Esquire which is one level below Knight. It is a conflict of interest as they have an allegiance to the British Crown that is specifically prohibited by the Constitution and to underscore this principle the first 13th Amendment was enacted and ratified. One need only look at what the word "license" means in law from Baron’s Legal Dictionary Fifth Edition:
LICENSE: a right granted which gives one permission to do something which he could not legally do absent such permission.
What are they permitted to do? A BAR licensed attorney operates in allegiance to the British Crown under a Letter of Marque which permits him to rob and pillage the people of these united States. We have good reason to mistrust a lawyer.
The original 13th Amendment has never been rescinded or superceded. It is settled law. In fact, several actual State copies of this Amendment are still floating around.
When one looks at the timing of the charter of the Bank of North America and the 13th Amendment then one can easily deduce the timing and reason for the War of 1812. The "rabble" (we the people) decided to throw enemies of the people out of their government and had the audacity to not renew the charter of this foreign bank. In 1811 the bank charter extension lost by one vote.
Again, Britain was the tool used to get the "rabble" under control. The people have long thought that the 1812 war ended in our favor, but did it? One must look at the actual result. The British destroyed the nation's legislative documents when it burned the White House to the ground. They did not however get around to all the State's houses and do likewise. If we had won the war then there exist two glaring anomalies that occurred shortly after the cessation of hostilities.
First, a new foreign-owned central bank was installed. Second, and even more interesting is the fact that the State's Governments and the National Government all seem to have forgotten the 13th Amendment. But did the people notice? The people were all happily distracted doing the Star-Spangled Banner dance. "The Flag was still there" but what did that matter? The Republic had been pulled out from everyone's feet and no one noticed. All that existed was a misconception that the Government was still in lawful control. It is and was a lie and it seems no one was any the wiser. Yes it was "lawful" because we are governed by "the consent of the people." We have since ignorantly consented with no tangible outrage and with predictable results. There was a brief reprieve when Andrew Jackson kicked the bank out of the country but as a lawyer where did his allegiance really fall? It was only a matter of time when it would be revisited in the form of the Federal Reserve with great suffering for the people.
The only lawful authority for the Government to operate was by the consent of the people and only because apparently no one complained or if they complained it was not sufficient to create an outrage. We were all content to conduct business as usual, ignorant of the fact that the Government at the time lost its lawful authority to govern by not rigidly adhering to principles contained with the trust document that allowed it to exist in the first place, the Constitution.
This quasi-legitimate state existed until 1861. In 1861 all semblance of the Republic was swept aside in an act of treason and the consequences were harsh. The southern States were the target of an organized campaign. They had gotten rich and with this wealth threatened the control of the international bankers. There were consequences because law was ignored. First, many in the South did not yet realize that to own another man, as property was a violation of God's law. The Southern States would have gladly freed the slaves to retain their sovereignty and power of self-determination. They had lawfully carried out their desire to secede from the Union as authorised by their State Constitutions. The representatives of the Northern States refused to accept this lawful action and in so doing also violated the law and the will of the people.
One violation of the law was compounded by another violation; the representatives of the Southern States walked out of the Legislature. This left the body without a lawful quorum and in a state of "sine die" or "without a day." From Baron's legal dictionary Fifth Edition:
sine die (sē´-nā dē´-ā)–Lat. Without day, without time; "a legislative body adjourns "sine die" without appointing a day on which to appear or assemble again."
Under the laws of parliamentary procedure the solution would be to re-establish a quorum, set a day to re-convene, thereon to re-form a lawful and legitimate legislative body. THIS HAS NOT YET OCCURRED!
Abraham Lincoln, touted by many as being a great American and a great man, was in reality a timid coward and although he may have had good intentions he engaged in selfish vain arrogance. He sat there as the country was lawfully un-made, by the will of the people, right in front of his eyes and instead of comporting himself in a lawful and conscientious manner by lawfully notifying the people what had just happened to their country to empowered them to chart a course of action, he took it upon himself to correct the problem. We can argue if he had the people's interest in mind but the fact remains that he was assassinated before lawful authority could be re-established. Remember: Lincoln was a lawyer.
These acts of lawlessness were not without the prescribed consequences for all parties involved and have had a detrimental impact on the nation to this day yet the people remain blissfully unaware that their "government" has no lawful authority to govern.
Since the national Congress was dissolved, so too was the national Government and the Government of the States as they were all established under the will of the people through the Constitution. In truth Abraham Lincoln ceased being President as the Government evaporated around him. In an act of criminal lawless selfishness "President Lincoln" declared martial law through the first executive order 100 known as the Lieder code.
What is code? Code is not law! Code is a fiction that represents real law. Law is binding because that which man calls God binds man to it. Code is nothing more than rules by which men bind other men through contract. There is no enforceable contract at issue.
From the point where Congress was dissolved America has been dominated by an illegitimate, illegal and unlawful criminal commercial enterprise with no substantive lawful authority even to blow its nose.
Then what exactly is meant when we say the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
What is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
In the unlawful Act of 1871, a corporation was created under French law called, not unsurprisingly: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION. The "Corporation" part need not be included as the entity UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is all in capitol letters and has no doubt been branded and trademarked. That is not for the benefit of the people, who have been duped, but for other sovereign nations to discern, and they are not about to spill the beans. The reason we cannot find these documents in America is because they are hidden in French law.
Since this corporate fiction required a whole set of fictional law and fictional citizens the 14th Amendment was required to create these "citizens" or officers within the corporation. The people assume it is business as usual, that is, until they understand that "person" is not a man or women but a fictional entity of international and interstate commerce. The District of Columbia was expanded; regional divisions were created overlaying existing States and new subsidiary corporations formed under control of the parent corporation. Under Section 8 clause 17 this new Congress and not the people have exclusive democratic control over this corporation. These subsidiaries all carry new names like the STATE OF MICHIGAN, STATE OF NEW YORK, STATE OF COLORADO etc. And although the people would prefer to believe otherwise, these corporate entities are not governed by the will of the people but by foreign interests.
They allow the people of America to maintain their delusion. In fact they count on it.
A corporation has a board of directors. Who are these board members? Are they even American. No, they are who they have always been: the rulers of international banking interests. Now in order for them to have the lawful power to tell a man what to do they must hold a contract to which the man is bound. Has anyone in America seen this contract? NO! In order for the contract to be enforceable the contract must be entered into willingly. Did we willingly enter into this contract we have not seen? NO! To hold a valid enforceable contract in law there must be a meeting of the minds. Is a meeting of the minds even possible when we cannot face a man or women who chooses to remain detached, secret never revealing their true identity as a member of the board of directors? NO!
So therefore we are held to a contract not by legitimate lawful authority but simply because we are ignorant and do not know any better.
This truth brings up an interesting point about "civil disobedience." To be disobedient one must be acting in a way contrary to established lawful authority. Since there is no lawful authority and we effectively exist in anarchy then is it even possible to be disobedient?
The answer is NO!
Now the question is not "Who are these enemies of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?" The question really is "Who is not an enemy of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?" Now one can see why so much legislation of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is directed not at an external foe, but against the very people of America.
We exist in anarchy, in ignorance and of our own free will. Although many call it "government" it is far from a government by any lawful definition. What goes on in Washington D.C. can be more accurately defined as a "sham", "farce" or "crime". One can witness a more powerful expression of law within a street kick-ball game than could ever be witnessed in the gaudy halls of Washington. We received only what they were offering and that is truly the "American Dream." We do not have the American reality. I ask you the reader: "How has it been working out for you, so far?"
Now that I have overturned your applecart I want you to understand something very important:
Violence has never been required or ordained when truth is the superior prevailing non-violent weapon against tyranny.
Footnote:
There are clearly two 13th Amendments; the first proposed on April 27, 1810, made no mention of slavery but disqualified persons with titles of nobility, including the honorary rank of Esquire borne by lawyers licensed by the BAR of Rothschilds, Knights Templars and Vatican. By December 10, 1812 it had been ratified by twelve states, however on June 18, 1812, Congress declared war on Britain and it was not until March 12, 1919 that the vital thirteenth State ratified what is now known as the 'missing' 13th Amendment. See also Esquires and, This Constitution clearly forbids Titles of Nobility. However there is some argument in dissent.
The second 13th Amendment was proposed on January 31, 1865 and ratified on December 6, 1865. It abolishes slavery and says nothing of titles of nobility, indicating the banksters of 'the City of London' won the war of 1812 as they won the War of Independence, proving the more things appear to change, the more they stay the same.

Holding the Mystery of the Faith in a Pure Conscience
Bible Believers' Newsletter #535
"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660
Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is good to be with you.
Our main article in this week's Newsletter is quite brief but there is some important reading among the news items in which those with anointed eyes will see Scripture coming to pass in the press. It has not been not censored because the aliens who control the mass media are blind to the will and Word of God and have no idea what they should look for.
Since we are in the harvest time, men can no longer disguise their true character, which like the fruit of a tree cannot be hid, but declares the life of the seed on which it is borne. Men and women of renown are being seen for who they really are; many of the leaders, particularly in our apostate, once Christian world, are of no moral worth.
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

July 4, 1776 - January 19, 2009
The first of those dates still reverberates across history and in the American mind. The second is the last day of President Bush's second term and last day of office. They could become the official bookends of the glorious historic American political experiment with Individual Freedom and Individual Liberty. On January 20, 2009—by law—the next President will be sworn into office. On that date, the US will stand with all the internal apparatus and machinery of the full Surveillance State—one small step short of the Police State. Once the full police state arrives, individual freedom has died. Once it is there, individual liberty has also died. Individuals no longer live by RIGHT but only by the permissions of their masters. In such a situation, the American Constitution dies.
The most dangerous political time in the US is between now and January 20, 2009. The Bush Administration has its back to the wall. Its every attempt to impose an internal peace in Iraq by military means has failed and the temptation to strike out at what is claimed to be the cause of this failure raises the risks of a sudden US military strike against Iran. Here, the danger has already peaked. The Democrats in Congress have voted $US 162 Billion for the occupation of Iraq and the ongoing war in Afghanistan with no strings attached! There was even an allocation of $US 400 million to make "covert war" on Iran! President Bush signed this bill the moment it arrived at the White House.
If the Bush Administration launches a full scale aerial assault on Iran, the pressure would quickly rise for the imposition of Martial Law INSIDE the USA.
Martial Law, in its simplest historical sense, is when a nation's own Armed Forces turn its guns inwards and occupies its own country. Once this is done, such an Armed Force acts to extract from the civilians what it needs to sustain itself. This is done by direct demand at the point of a gun which will be used if any opposition or resistance is encountered. Historically, this is why there has never been any prolonged periods of Martial Law. Looting at the point of a gun fails economically when there is little or nothing left to loot. At that point, the Armed Force starts wasting away for lack of supplies.
Today, there are only two brakes on the Bush Administration. First, will the officers at the top of the US chain of command follow orders if they are told to attack Iran? Second, will the armed forces inside the US turn their guns on fellow Americans if they are ordered to do so? . . Full story: The Privateer, Early July, 2008 #607
Comment: Do you remember Brother Branham's vision of the strange caribou with a 42-inch rack, ". . . not a 16th over exactly forty-two inches?" That vision is about to be fulfilled, followed by the "nine foot silver-tipped grizzly bear," both will be "shot" (or fulfilled) according to the prophecy.
Nine is the last of the digits and thus marks the end; it signifies the conclusion of a matter. It is akin to the number six, six being the sum of its factors (3x3=9, and 3+3=6), and thus signifies the end of man, and the summation of all man's works. Nine is, therefore, the number of finality or judgment, for judgment is committed unto the Son of man (John 5:27; Acts 17:31). It marks the completeness, the end and issue of all things as to man—the judgment of man and all his works. With the silver tip it signifies the end of grace.
Forty-two is a number connected with Antichrist. Its factors six and seven (6x7=42) show a connection between man and the Spirit of God, and between Christ and Antichrist. The pretence of democracy will end with the reign of the forty-second president of the United States, followed by its forty-two-month world dominion as the image of the Beast of papal Rome. Being the product of six times seven, forty-two signifies the working out of man's opposition to God, hence the expression "at sixes and sevens" when man is mixed up with the things of God, and religious "flesh" engages in spiritual things as will the revived holy (sic) Judaeo-Roman empire vicariously ruling Lucifer's totalitarian one world government.
Seymour Hersh, who certainly has his ear to the ground in Washington, has publicly suggested that an Obama victory might be the signal for the Bush administration to launch an air campaign against that country. As Jim Lobe of Inter Press Service has pointed out, there have been a number of "public warnings by U.S. hawks close to Cheney's office that either the Israelis or the U.S. would attack Iran between the November elections and the inaugural of a new president in January 2009." (Read this article).
Higher oil prices will likely bolster support for the US dollar, a short term comfort for the Federal Reserve, whilst an attack on Iran would create the global chaos inducing martial law, civilian servitude, global poverty, famine, disease and death amenable to NWO plans to eliminate four to five billion "useless eaters." Russia can be in no doubt that for the sake of humankind the United States must be conquered without procrastination.
If Los Angeles sinks beneath the Pacific next April, come July 4, 2009 the United States will be under Russian occupation until Rome's then incarnate pope sends them home, restores peace and is installed as the inaugural president of Lucifer's totalitarian one world government. Thereafter the United States military will become such a marauding force of death that after the midst of Daniel's seventieth week when Rome abrogates her agreement with the Jewish International Banksters, Judaeo-Communist Russia will blast both Vatican City State and the North American continent off the map, ushering in Armageddon and the consummation of life as prophesied in 1933.

Double Blow
July 9, 2008 – Right in the middle of the G-8 summit in Japan, what do American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her Czech homologue announce? The signing of an agreement on the installation of made-in-USA radar right in the heart of Central Europe. . . It goes without saying that the declaration formulated by the American-Czech duo disgusted the Russian government, which responded as vigorously as it did promptly by threatening to arm its nuclear missiles if this project is ultimately realized.
A sign of the Bush administration's firm intention to achieve its objective—that is, of constructing an anti-missile shield between now and 2012 in the center of the Old Continent—the administration terminated discussions it was pursuing with the Polish government about erecting an anti-missile missile base. That abrupt end to a round of discussions begun close to two years ago was justified by the Poles' financial demands—deemed excessive—but also, even primarily, by the possibility of moving the base envisaged for Poland to Lithuania. Full story: truthout.org
Comment: The radars aim to track ballistic missile launches from Iran, however Tehran does not possess such firepower, and "Star Wars" technology is ineffective. Rice said, "Ballistic missile proliferation is not an imaginary threat." Mad George II and Condoleezza Rice are turning Russian (not Iranian) ballistic missile proliferation from imagination to necessity to reality. Jesus Christ, Brother Branham and Dr. Peter Beter taught, the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews are determined to reconquer Russia; and when they succeed they will "nuke" the Vatican and North America from the face of planet Earth.

House hides Israeli Telecom spying, permits 'Classified' FISA Evidence
July 8, 2008 – This week the Senate will consider the House version of the new Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) bill, 'President Bush's Surveillance Program,' and retroactive telephone company immunity from civil and/or criminal lawsuits for past compliance with presidential directives to eavesdrop on electronic communications of American citizens without a warrant.
The House option permits a 'classified annex,' effectively allowing the Inspector General’s (IG) report on Mr. Bush’s spy program to conceal evidence confirmed by France’s Intelligence Online that 'Israeli espionage agents, electronic communication intercept operators and military explosive ordinance/combat engineers,' detained immediately after the 9/11 attacks and quickly deported to Israel by Bush Attorney General John Ashcroft, were linked to an Amdocs, Ltd. employee who reportedly posted bail for at least one of the Israeli military operatives. . .

Comment: And the world will believe Muslims perpetrated 9/11 as they believe Germany perpetrated a holocaust of six million Jews in World War II (while the Jews were killing 66 million nominal Christians in their Soviet Union). Their "Ministry of Truth" has long since "disappeared" claims of a holocaust of six million Jews in World War I and a subsequent holocaust of six million Jews between the Wars. Small wonder Henry Ford said, "History (of the imaginative type indoctrinated under Rockefeller's worldwide franchise on education) is bunk".

Gazprom to buy Libyan Oil and Gas
July 9, 2008 – The Russian oil giant Gazprom has announced its plans to buy all of Libya's oil and gas exports after a meeting with the Libyan leader. . . Gazprom and Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) also agreed to set up a joint venture to modernize the North African country's refineries and to build new ones.
The two sides may cooperate in oil and gas exploration and development, Gazprom said, adding that the Russian company had also agreed to build pipelines from Libya to Europe. Gazprom and Libya's NOC signed a memorandum of cooperation during former Russian president Vladimir Putin's April visit to Libya. Full story: presstv.ir

Executive Order: Continuing Certain Restrictions with Respect to North Korea and North Korean Nationals
Washington, June 26, 2008 – I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, find that the current existence and risk of the proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. I further find that, as we deal with that threat through multilateral diplomacy, it is necessary to continue certain restrictions with respect to North Korea that would otherwise be lifted pursuant to a forthcoming proclamation that will terminate the exercise of authorities under the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq.) (TWEA) with respect to North Korea. . . Full story: whitehouse.gov

Church Vote backs Women Bishops
At left female Bishop Kay Goldsworthy offering her "unbloody sacrifice" of the wafer god: in reality the fierce, scorching Sun, or terrible Moloch, yet in that offering all his terror was veiled, and everything repulsive was cast into the shade (Alexander Hislop, The Two Babylons, p. 164). In celebrating the Lord's Supper—not His breakfast or His lunch—unleavened bread used by the Christian Church is never round, neither is it elevated for adoration as in the Babylonian mass.
July 8, 2008 – The Church of England's ruling General Synod has voted to consecrate women as bishops and approved a code of practice aimed at reassuring opponents. . . But traditionalists have warned that the decision could hasten the prospect of a split within the Church.
Conservatives who oppose the liberalisation of Church teaching on issues such as homosexuality have already set up the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (FoCA), which has promised to set up a council of bishops. . .
Synod member and traditionalist Gerry O'Brien was hissed during the debate as he alluded to the American and Canadian Churches, from whom traditionalists have split in protest at the ordination of an openly gay (sic) bishop in 2003. . .
The Rt. Rev. John Broadhurst, the Bishop of Fulham and a traditionalist, told Newsnight that the vote could lead to a split. "I think a lot of us have made it quite clear if there isn't proper provision for us to live in dignity, inevitably we're driven out . . . It's not a case of walking away". . . Full story: news.bbc.co.uk
Comment: The BBC is now applying the term "traditionalist" in a pejorative sense to those who believe the Bible and stand up to "menpleasers" posing as bishops and ministers. These ambitious misguided men and women devoid of the Spirit are all defying God and His unchanging Word in support for nicolaitanism which "Jesus hates".
"One may be tempted to scoff at the demand to legalize polygamy made recently by Khalil Chami of Sydney's Islamic Welfare Centre. But with the recent announcement by Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams that the adoption of sharia law in Britain seems unavoidable, the joke may turn out to be on us. . ."

Holding the Mystery of the Faith in a Pure Conscience
In verses 3 and 4 of his big little Book, Jude wrote, "It was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness. . ."
Nineteen centuries have passed since Jude exhorted the primitive Church of the need to "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints," and today we see ambitious men and women in the denominational world trampling on God's unchanging Word in shameless insolence in order to serve unscriptural personal ambitions. These so-called "leaders" are oblivious to the fact they are the very fulfilment of II Thessalonians 2:1-12, II Timothy 3-4 and Revelation 3:17-20.
Jesus condemned the Ephesian Church Age (AD53-170) for leaving their "first love"—the fervent desire to please God by knowing and carefully living His Word—in order that they might drift toward reason and human understanding pleasing to the world but He commended them for "hating the deeds of the nicolaitanes, which I also hate" (Revelation 2:6). And in the Smyrnean Church Age (170-312) He condemned "the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews [who are Israelites], and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan" that had "crept in unawares". As Brother Branham explains, these people were not of the tribe of Judah, neither was their religion Yahweh Torah, but Pharisaism which is Judaism:
"Now why do we have a people mixed in the framework of the church and calling themselves Jews? The reason is this: Since they were liars they could make any claim they wished. They could say what they wanted as though it were a fact and then stick to it. And in this case they could be lying with a very powerful thought in mind. Was it not so that the early church was almost if not entirely composed of Jews [Judeans who were Israelites], making them the original members of His body? The twelve apostles were Jews [Judeans who were Israelites], and the later apostles were either Jews [Judeans who were Israelites] or proselytes. Thus for men to swear they were Jews [Judeans who were Israelites] would give them a pre-eminence and a claim to originality. Tell a lie. Stick to it. Never mind fact or history. Just say it and keep saying it to the people, and soon the people will receive it.
Now did you catch something there? Isn't that the same spirit right in the church today? Isn't there a group that claims that they are the original and true church and that salvation is found only in her? Don't they claim that they have the keys of the kingdom which they received from Peter? Don't they claim that Peter was their first pope, and that he resided in Rome when there is ABSOLUTELY NO HISTORICAL FACT FOR IT? And even her most educated and knowing adherents believe her lies. Satan's synagogue! And if Satan be her father, and he the father of lies, then it is not strange that those in his synagogue are liars also.
Consider the thought of blasphemy. These of Satan's synagogue were not blaspheming God in this instance (though that goes without saying) but they were blaspheming the true church. Certainly. As Cain persecuted and killed Abel because he (Cain) was of that wicked one, and as the dead formal Judaic followers (Jesus said they were of their father, the devil) tried to destroy the Christians in the first few years of the first age, now this same group (the false vine) is even more strongly attempting to destroy the true believer in the second age. That antichrist spirit is growing.
The group that inched its way ever so slowly into the church by its DEEDS (Nicolaitanism) no longer fears exposure but is openly organized in a group of its own assembling and is coming against the true church in undisguised hostility.
Now when I say this was an organized antichrist church I am giving you the truth from authenticated history. The first church founded in Rome had already turned the truth of God into a lie by introducing a pagan religion with Christian names and meaning. By the second age it was so pagan (though claiming to be the true church) that Polycarp came about 1,500 miles at a very old age to plead with them to turn back. They would not do it. They had a solid hierarchy and a solid organization, and a complete departure from the Word. This then, is Satan's synagogue, full of blasphemy, in which were already the seeds of the doctrine of Nicolaitanism, and which would shortly be the actual seat or power of Satanic religion. And this is exactly right for Revelation 2:9b does NOT say these people are OF Satan's synagogue but it says they ARE SATAN'S SYNAGOGUE" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 120:2 -121:3).
Pergamos means "thoroughly married," and in the Pergamean Church Age (312-606) the nominal church married the Roman state at the First Nicea Council (325) and organized the Roman Catholic church. Jesus said, "I know your works, and where you live, even [in Rome] where Satan's seat is . . . The doctrine of Balaam" was adopted wherein elements of the Babylonian religions of Judaism and Rome were substituted for faith in the pure Word of God causing spiritual fornication as when Balaam misled the children of Israel. Balaamism is denominationalism which takes the church manual instead of the Bible (Deuteronomy 32:17; I Corinthians 10:20; Revelation 2:13-15).
"The deeds of the nicolaitanes were adopted as doctrine." Nicolaitanism is organization which humanizes the leadership of the church and deposes the Spirit. For the clergy to organize themselves with one rank over another until they are finally headed up by a president is a manifestation of the antichrist spirit, regardless how wonderful and necessary it may seem. This is nothing but human reasoning taking the place of God's Word, and anyone in the organized denominations is right now in the midst of an antichrist system.
Jesus said, "I hate nicolaitanism!" Jesus did not set a clerical hierarchy in His Church but gave five Spiritual offices to men (not women): "apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry and for the edifying of the body of Christ" (Ephesians 4:8, 11). Romans 11:29, "the gifts and callings of God are irrevocable" and cannot be withdrawn for God will never go back on His promises but will take the life of men preordained and called to the fivefold ministry or any elect who brings reproach upon the Word and does not receive correction (I Corinthians 5:5; 11:27-30).
A bishop or deacon on the other hand, is called and voted into office by his local assembly. These temporary lay offices are not granted to women but to men experienced in the faith who meet certain qualifications and are the husband of one wife. A bishop has an ability to preach, but is restricted to teaching only the apostolic faith he has been taught by his own pastor. These men are under submission to their own pastor and the authority of their office does not extend beyond their local assembly (Titus 1:1-9; I Timothy 1:3).
Present-day denominational churches have continued the error of clinging to Balaamism and nicolaitanism introduced with the Judaeo-Roman church, becoming man-made lodges unrelated to the (Gk.) 'ekklesia' or unorganized, independent but Spirit-led assemblies of elect called out and separated from the world and its religious systems unto Christ the Word.
By overturning the rules of conduct, order and doctrine in the Church to substitute that "which Jesus hates," they have "sown discord" between themselves and God, and are now squabbling over the unscriptural ordination of women bishops. In the present conflict within the Anglican church some bishops have threatened to convert to Catholicism, proving they can read the Bible's prohibition but that they have neither a knowledge of Church history nor the faith of Jesus Christ. This "falling away from the faith" can only be resolved when men and women hear the "shout" of the Message of the Prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7, heed his "midnight cry" and come out of Babylon to be filled with the Spirit (I Thessalonians 4:16; Matthew 25:6; Revelation 18:4).
I Timothy 3:1-7, "This is a faithful saying, If a man desires the office of bishop, he desires a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; one that rules well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; for if a man knows not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God? Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must be well thought of by outsiders; or he may fall into reproach and the snare of the devil".
Titus 1:6-7, "If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre. . ."
Paul was the prophet who wrote the New Testament in accordance with Isaiah 42:21 wherein the Lord promised He would "magnify the Law and make it truly glorious to show the world His righteousness." In the epistles quoted above it is clear that the office of bishop, deacon (or any in the fivefold ministry) precludes women whose "desire is to her husband, who shall rule over her" (Genesis 3:16).
Jesus taught "the spoken Word is the original seed" (Luke 8:11). Moses records how woman is not a spoken Word of God, who completed the old creation years before Eve was formed as a byproduct taken from Adam's side (as the elect Church is a byproduct made from the Holy Spirit taken from Christ's side). Since woman is not the Word of God she is made so she can be deceived on the revealed Word whereas Adam being Word could not be deceived on the Word; and Christ's Bride cannot be deceived on the revealed Word with which she is united (Matthew 24:24; John 10:1-5; I John 3:9-10; 5:18; Revelation 22:17-19). For this reason God has not and will never ordain a woman to minister His Word or to usurp authority over a man.
This emphasizes the apostasy of (so-called) Christian nations that place women in the police force, in combat and behind the pulpit, when God called them "To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the Word of God is not blasphemed" (Titus 2:5). Adam and Eve are the prototypes for the manly and feminine natures of their race and the real ground of the Law that the woman must not teach, and more importantly, that she be tranquil in subjection and not desirous of rule.
In I Corinthians 14:1-16 and again in Ephesians 5:22-33 Paul identifies the first pair as the prototype of Christ and His Bride. He reminds the Church that as a sign of her separation and submission to God and man, the woman is not to cut her hair (Numbers 5:11, 18; Deuteronomy 21:12; Isaiah 47:2; Jeremiah 7:29-30).
I Timothy 2:11-15, "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety" (Genesis 3:1-5:3). The original sin is the basis of woman's subordination to man and the loss of her co-equality with man.
I Timothy 2:8-10 further illustrates how Paul's teachings rest solidly on the word of Moses and demonstrates that since the Fall, God has placed man and woman under two different covenants which preclude the possibility of women holding office as a minister or even as a bishop. "Everywhere" in express distinction from the women, men alone are to utter and direct public prayers. Women are to reserve questions on matters they do not understand to their own husbands in their own house (I Corinthians 14:34-36).
The corn of wheat that fell into the ground, died and rose again, returned to the ground under Roman Catholic martyrdom during the Thyatira Church Age (606-1520). Through the Reformation of the Roman Catholic system of false worship under the last three Church Ages it has repeated the cycle of growth and is now headed up in the original spoken Word Seed as the many-membered Body of Christ's end-time Bride. She is a Word Bride under preeminence to her Husband as He was under preeminence to the Father (John 5:19) so she can do "the greater works" in the manifestation of the Sons of God.
The tares are heading up in Satan's Roman Catholic false church and the World Council of her (once) Protestant daughter churches. When Satan is incarnate in their head, the antichrist or pope will be designated "the beast" (Revelation 17:8-11), and together they will be cast alive into a lake of Fire (Revelation 2:20-23; 19:20; 20:10).
Let us hold the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience that we may mature in the Word until becoming a Word Bride the mighty works will be found in us that are always attendant upon the pure Word and faith. nl535.htm

"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660
Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is good to be with you.
Our main article in this week's Newsletter is quite brief but there is some important reading among the news items in which those with anointed eyes will see Scripture coming to pass in the press. It has not been not censored because the aliens who control the mass media are blind to the will and Word of God and have no idea what they should look for.
Since we are in the harvest time, men can no longer disguise their true character, which like the fruit of a tree cannot be hid, but declares the life of the seed on which it is borne. Men and women of renown are being seen for who they really are; many of the leaders, particularly in our apostate, once Christian world, are of no moral worth.
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

July 4, 1776 - January 19, 2009
The first of those dates still reverberates across history and in the American mind. The second is the last day of President Bush's second term and last day of office. They could become the official bookends of the glorious historic American political experiment with Individual Freedom and Individual Liberty. On January 20, 2009—by law—the next President will be sworn into office. On that date, the US will stand with all the internal apparatus and machinery of the full Surveillance State—one small step short of the Police State. Once the full police state arrives, individual freedom has died. Once it is there, individual liberty has also died. Individuals no longer live by RIGHT but only by the permissions of their masters. In such a situation, the American Constitution dies.
The most dangerous political time in the US is between now and January 20, 2009. The Bush Administration has its back to the wall. Its every attempt to impose an internal peace in Iraq by military means has failed and the temptation to strike out at what is claimed to be the cause of this failure raises the risks of a sudden US military strike against Iran. Here, the danger has already peaked. The Democrats in Congress have voted $US 162 Billion for the occupation of Iraq and the ongoing war in Afghanistan with no strings attached! There was even an allocation of $US 400 million to make "covert war" on Iran! President Bush signed this bill the moment it arrived at the White House.
If the Bush Administration launches a full scale aerial assault on Iran, the pressure would quickly rise for the imposition of Martial Law INSIDE the USA.
Martial Law, in its simplest historical sense, is when a nation's own Armed Forces turn its guns inwards and occupies its own country. Once this is done, such an Armed Force acts to extract from the civilians what it needs to sustain itself. This is done by direct demand at the point of a gun which will be used if any opposition or resistance is encountered. Historically, this is why there has never been any prolonged periods of Martial Law. Looting at the point of a gun fails economically when there is little or nothing left to loot. At that point, the Armed Force starts wasting away for lack of supplies.
Today, there are only two brakes on the Bush Administration. First, will the officers at the top of the US chain of command follow orders if they are told to attack Iran? Second, will the armed forces inside the US turn their guns on fellow Americans if they are ordered to do so? . . Full story: The Privateer, Early July, 2008 #607
Comment: Do you remember Brother Branham's vision of the strange caribou with a 42-inch rack, ". . . not a 16th over exactly forty-two inches?" That vision is about to be fulfilled, followed by the "nine foot silver-tipped grizzly bear," both will be "shot" (or fulfilled) according to the prophecy.
Nine is the last of the digits and thus marks the end; it signifies the conclusion of a matter. It is akin to the number six, six being the sum of its factors (3x3=9, and 3+3=6), and thus signifies the end of man, and the summation of all man's works. Nine is, therefore, the number of finality or judgment, for judgment is committed unto the Son of man (John 5:27; Acts 17:31). It marks the completeness, the end and issue of all things as to man—the judgment of man and all his works. With the silver tip it signifies the end of grace.
Forty-two is a number connected with Antichrist. Its factors six and seven (6x7=42) show a connection between man and the Spirit of God, and between Christ and Antichrist. The pretence of democracy will end with the reign of the forty-second president of the United States, followed by its forty-two-month world dominion as the image of the Beast of papal Rome. Being the product of six times seven, forty-two signifies the working out of man's opposition to God, hence the expression "at sixes and sevens" when man is mixed up with the things of God, and religious "flesh" engages in spiritual things as will the revived holy (sic) Judaeo-Roman empire vicariously ruling Lucifer's totalitarian one world government.
Seymour Hersh, who certainly has his ear to the ground in Washington, has publicly suggested that an Obama victory might be the signal for the Bush administration to launch an air campaign against that country. As Jim Lobe of Inter Press Service has pointed out, there have been a number of "public warnings by U.S. hawks close to Cheney's office that either the Israelis or the U.S. would attack Iran between the November elections and the inaugural of a new president in January 2009." (Read this article).
Higher oil prices will likely bolster support for the US dollar, a short term comfort for the Federal Reserve, whilst an attack on Iran would create the global chaos inducing martial law, civilian servitude, global poverty, famine, disease and death amenable to NWO plans to eliminate four to five billion "useless eaters." Russia can be in no doubt that for the sake of humankind the United States must be conquered without procrastination.
If Los Angeles sinks beneath the Pacific next April, come July 4, 2009 the United States will be under Russian occupation until Rome's then incarnate pope sends them home, restores peace and is installed as the inaugural president of Lucifer's totalitarian one world government. Thereafter the United States military will become such a marauding force of death that after the midst of Daniel's seventieth week when Rome abrogates her agreement with the Jewish International Banksters, Judaeo-Communist Russia will blast both Vatican City State and the North American continent off the map, ushering in Armageddon and the consummation of life as prophesied in 1933.

Double Blow
July 9, 2008 – Right in the middle of the G-8 summit in Japan, what do American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her Czech homologue announce? The signing of an agreement on the installation of made-in-USA radar right in the heart of Central Europe. . . It goes without saying that the declaration formulated by the American-Czech duo disgusted the Russian government, which responded as vigorously as it did promptly by threatening to arm its nuclear missiles if this project is ultimately realized.
A sign of the Bush administration's firm intention to achieve its objective—that is, of constructing an anti-missile shield between now and 2012 in the center of the Old Continent—the administration terminated discussions it was pursuing with the Polish government about erecting an anti-missile missile base. That abrupt end to a round of discussions begun close to two years ago was justified by the Poles' financial demands—deemed excessive—but also, even primarily, by the possibility of moving the base envisaged for Poland to Lithuania. Full story: truthout.org
Comment: The radars aim to track ballistic missile launches from Iran, however Tehran does not possess such firepower, and "Star Wars" technology is ineffective. Rice said, "Ballistic missile proliferation is not an imaginary threat." Mad George II and Condoleezza Rice are turning Russian (not Iranian) ballistic missile proliferation from imagination to necessity to reality. Jesus Christ, Brother Branham and Dr. Peter Beter taught, the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews are determined to reconquer Russia; and when they succeed they will "nuke" the Vatican and North America from the face of planet Earth.

House hides Israeli Telecom spying, permits 'Classified' FISA Evidence
July 8, 2008 – This week the Senate will consider the House version of the new Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) bill, 'President Bush's Surveillance Program,' and retroactive telephone company immunity from civil and/or criminal lawsuits for past compliance with presidential directives to eavesdrop on electronic communications of American citizens without a warrant.
The House option permits a 'classified annex,' effectively allowing the Inspector General’s (IG) report on Mr. Bush’s spy program to conceal evidence confirmed by France’s Intelligence Online that 'Israeli espionage agents, electronic communication intercept operators and military explosive ordinance/combat engineers,' detained immediately after the 9/11 attacks and quickly deported to Israel by Bush Attorney General John Ashcroft, were linked to an Amdocs, Ltd. employee who reportedly posted bail for at least one of the Israeli military operatives. . . Full story: tomflocco.com truthout.org
Comment: And the world will believe Muslims perpetrated 9/11 as they believe Germany perpetrated a holocaust of six million Jews in World War II (while the Jews were killing 66 million nominal Christians in their Soviet Union). Their "Ministry of Truth" has long since "disappeared" claims of a holocaust of six million Jews in World War I and a subsequent holocaust of six million Jews between the Wars. Small wonder Henry Ford said, "History (of the imaginative type indoctrinated under Rockefeller's worldwide franchise on education) is bunk".

Gazprom to buy Libyan Oil and Gas
July 9, 2008 – The Russian oil giant Gazprom has announced its plans to buy all of Libya's oil and gas exports after a meeting with the Libyan leader. . . Gazprom and Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) also agreed to set up a joint venture to modernize the North African country's refineries and to build new ones.
The two sides may cooperate in oil and gas exploration and development, Gazprom said, adding that the Russian company had also agreed to build pipelines from Libya to Europe. Gazprom and Libya's NOC signed a memorandum of cooperation during former Russian president Vladimir Putin's April visit to Libya. Full story: presstv.ir

Executive Order: Continuing Certain Restrictions with Respect to North Korea and North Korean Nationals
Washington, June 26, 2008 – I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, find that the current existence and risk of the proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. I further find that, as we deal with that threat through multilateral diplomacy, it is necessary to continue certain restrictions with respect to North Korea that would otherwise be lifted pursuant to a forthcoming proclamation that will terminate the exercise of authorities under the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq.) (TWEA) with respect to North Korea. . . Full story: whitehouse.gov

Church Vote backs Women Bishops
At left female Bishop Kay Goldsworthy offering her "unbloody sacrifice" of the wafer god: in reality the fierce, scorching Sun, or terrible Moloch, yet in that offering all his terror was veiled, and everything repulsive was cast into the shade (Alexander Hislop, The Two Babylons, p. 164). In celebrating the Lord's Supper—not His breakfast or His lunch—unleavened bread used by the Christian Church is never round, neither is it elevated for adoration as in the Babylonian mass.
July 8, 2008 – The Church of England's ruling General Synod has voted to consecrate women as bishops and approved a code of practice aimed at reassuring opponents. . . But traditionalists have warned that the decision could hasten the prospect of a split within the Church.
Conservatives who oppose the liberalisation of Church teaching on issues such as homosexuality have already set up the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (FoCA), which has promised to set up a council of bishops. . .
Synod member and traditionalist Gerry O'Brien was hissed during the debate as he alluded to the American and Canadian Churches, from whom traditionalists have split in protest at the ordination of an openly gay (sic) bishop in 2003. . .
The Rt. Rev. John Broadhurst, the Bishop of Fulham and a traditionalist, told Newsnight that the vote could lead to a split. "I think a lot of us have made it quite clear if there isn't proper provision for us to live in dignity, inevitably we're driven out . . . It's not a case of walking away". . . Full story: news.bbc.co.uk
Comment: The BBC is now applying the term "traditionalist" in a pejorative sense to those who believe the Bible and stand up to "menpleasers" posing as bishops and ministers. These ambitious misguided men and women devoid of the Spirit are all defying God and His unchanging Word in support for nicolaitanism which "Jesus hates".
"One may be tempted to scoff at the demand to legalize polygamy made recently by Khalil Chami of Sydney's Islamic Welfare Centre. But with the recent announcement by Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams that the adoption of sharia law in Britain seems unavoidable, the joke may turn out to be on us. . ."

Holding the Mystery of the Faith in a Pure Conscience
In verses 3 and 4 of his big little Book, Jude wrote, "It was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness. . ."
Nineteen centuries have passed since Jude exhorted the primitive Church of the need to "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints," and today we see ambitious men and women in the denominational world trampling on God's unchanging Word in shameless insolence in order to serve unscriptural personal ambitions. These so-called "leaders" are oblivious to the fact they are the very fulfilment of II Thessalonians 2:1-12, II Timothy 3-4 and Revelation 3:17-20.
Jesus condemned the Ephesian Church Age (AD53-170) for leaving their "first love"—the fervent desire to please God by knowing and carefully living His Word—in order that they might drift toward reason and human understanding pleasing to the world but He commended them for "hating the deeds of the nicolaitanes, which I also hate" (Revelation 2:6). And in the Smyrnean Church Age (170-312) He condemned "the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews [who are Israelites], and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan" that had "crept in unawares". As Brother Branham explains, these people were not of the tribe of Judah, neither was their religion Yahweh Torah, but Pharisaism which is Judaism:
"Now why do we have a people mixed in the framework of the church and calling themselves Jews? The reason is this: Since they were liars they could make any claim they wished. They could say what they wanted as though it were a fact and then stick to it. And in this case they could be lying with a very powerful thought in mind. Was it not so that the early church was almost if not entirely composed of Jews [Judeans who were Israelites], making them the original members of His body? The twelve apostles were Jews [Judeans who were Israelites], and the later apostles were either Jews [Judeans who were Israelites] or proselytes. Thus for men to swear they were Jews [Judeans who were Israelites] would give them a pre-eminence and a claim to originality. Tell a lie. Stick to it. Never mind fact or history. Just say it and keep saying it to the people, and soon the people will receive it.
Now did you catch something there? Isn't that the same spirit right in the church today? Isn't there a group that claims that they are the original and true church and that salvation is found only in her? Don't they claim that they have the keys of the kingdom which they received from Peter? Don't they claim that Peter was their first pope, and that he resided in Rome when there is ABSOLUTELY NO HISTORICAL FACT FOR IT? And even her most educated and knowing adherents believe her lies. Satan's synagogue! And if Satan be her father, and he the father of lies, then it is not strange that those in his synagogue are liars also.
Consider the thought of blasphemy. These of Satan's synagogue were not blaspheming God in this instance (though that goes without saying) but they were blaspheming the true church. Certainly. As Cain persecuted and killed Abel because he (Cain) was of that wicked one, and as the dead formal Judaic followers (Jesus said they were of their father, the devil) tried to destroy the Christians in the first few years of the first age, now this same group (the false vine) is even more strongly attempting to destroy the true believer in the second age. That antichrist spirit is growing.
The group that inched its way ever so slowly into the church by its DEEDS (Nicolaitanism) no longer fears exposure but is openly organized in a group of its own assembling and is coming against the true church in undisguised hostility.
Now when I say this was an organized antichrist church I am giving you the truth from authenticated history. The first church founded in Rome had already turned the truth of God into a lie by introducing a pagan religion with Christian names and meaning. By the second age it was so pagan (though claiming to be the true church) that Polycarp came about 1,500 miles at a very old age to plead with them to turn back. They would not do it. They had a solid hierarchy and a solid organization, and a complete departure from the Word. This then, is Satan's synagogue, full of blasphemy, in which were already the seeds of the doctrine of Nicolaitanism, and which would shortly be the actual seat or power of Satanic religion. And this is exactly right for Revelation 2:9b does NOT say these people are OF Satan's synagogue but it says they ARE SATAN'S SYNAGOGUE" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 120:2 -121:3).
Pergamos means "thoroughly married," and in the Pergamean Church Age (312-606) the nominal church married the Roman state at the First Nicea Council (325) and organized the Roman Catholic church. Jesus said, "I know your works, and where you live, even [in Rome] where Satan's seat is . . . The doctrine of Balaam" was adopted wherein elements of the Babylonian religions of Judaism and Rome were substituted for faith in the pure Word of God causing spiritual fornication as when Balaam misled the children of Israel. Balaamism is denominationalism which takes the church manual instead of the Bible (Deuteronomy 32:17; I Corinthians 10:20; Revelation 2:13-15).
"The deeds of the nicolaitanes were adopted as doctrine." Nicolaitanism is organization which humanizes the leadership of the church and deposes the Spirit. For the clergy to organize themselves with one rank over another until they are finally headed up by a president is a manifestation of the antichrist spirit, regardless how wonderful and necessary it may seem. This is nothing but human reasoning taking the place of God's Word, and anyone in the organized denominations is right now in the midst of an antichrist system.
Jesus said, "I hate nicolaitanism!" Jesus did not set a clerical hierarchy in His Church but gave five Spiritual offices to men (not women): "apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry and for the edifying of the body of Christ" (Ephesians 4:8, 11). Romans 11:29, "the gifts and callings of God are irrevocable" and cannot be withdrawn for God will never go back on His promises but will take the life of men preordained and called to the fivefold ministry or any elect who brings reproach upon the Word and does not receive correction (I Corinthians 5:5; 11:27-30).
A bishop or deacon on the other hand, is called and voted into office by his local assembly. These temporary lay offices are not granted to women but to men experienced in the faith who meet certain qualifications and are the husband of one wife. A bishop has an ability to preach, but is restricted to teaching only the apostolic faith he has been taught by his own pastor. These men are under submission to their own pastor and the authority of their office does not extend beyond their local assembly (Titus 1:1-9; I Timothy 1:3).
Present-day denominational churches have continued the error of clinging to Balaamism and nicolaitanism introduced with the Judaeo-Roman church, becoming man-made lodges unrelated to the (Gk.) 'ekklesia' or unorganized, independent but Spirit-led assemblies of elect called out and separated from the world and its religious systems unto Christ the Word.
By overturning the rules of conduct, order and doctrine in the Church to substitute that "which Jesus hates," they have "sown discord" between themselves and God, and are now squabbling over the unscriptural ordination of women bishops. In the present conflict within the Anglican church some bishops have threatened to convert to Catholicism, proving they can read the Bible's prohibition but that they have neither a knowledge of Church history nor the faith of Jesus Christ. This "falling away from the faith" can only be resolved when men and women hear the "shout" of the Message of the Prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7, heed his "midnight cry" and come out of Babylon to be filled with the Spirit (I Thessalonians 4:16; Matthew 25:6; Revelation 18:4).
I Timothy 3:1-7, "This is a faithful saying, If a man desires the office of bishop, he desires a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; one that rules well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; for if a man knows not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God? Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must be well thought of by outsiders; or he may fall into reproach and the snare of the devil".
Titus 1:6-7, "If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre. . ."
Paul was the prophet who wrote the New Testament in accordance with Isaiah 42:21 wherein the Lord promised He would "magnify the Law and make it truly glorious to show the world His righteousness." In the epistles quoted above it is clear that the office of bishop, deacon (or any in the fivefold ministry) precludes women whose "desire is to her husband, who shall rule over her" (Genesis 3:16).
Jesus taught "the spoken Word is the original seed" (Luke 8:11). Moses records how woman is not a spoken Word of God, who completed the old creation years before Eve was formed as a byproduct taken from Adam's side (as the elect Church is a byproduct made from the Holy Spirit taken from Christ's side). Since woman is not the Word of God she is made so she can be deceived on the revealed Word whereas Adam being Word could not be deceived on the Word; and Christ's Bride cannot be deceived on the revealed Word with which she is united (Matthew 24:24; John 10:1-5; I John 3:9-10; 5:18; Revelation 22:17-19). For this reason God has not and will never ordain a woman to minister His Word or to usurp authority over a man.
This emphasizes the apostasy of (so-called) Christian nations that place women in the police force, in combat and behind the pulpit, when God called them "To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the Word of God is not blasphemed" (Titus 2:5). Adam and Eve are the prototypes for the manly and feminine natures of their race and the real ground of the Law that the woman must not teach, and more importantly, that she be tranquil in subjection and not desirous of rule.
In I Corinthians 14:1-16 and again in Ephesians 5:22-33 Paul identifies the first pair as the prototype of Christ and His Bride. He reminds the Church that as a sign of her separation and submission to God and man, the woman is not to cut her hair (Numbers 5:11, 18; Deuteronomy 21:12; Isaiah 47:2; Jeremiah 7:29-30).
I Timothy 2:11-15, "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety" (Genesis 3:1-5:3). The original sin is the basis of woman's subordination to man and the loss of her co-equality with man.
I Timothy 2:8-10 further illustrates how Paul's teachings rest solidly on the word of Moses and demonstrates that since the Fall, God has placed man and woman under two different covenants which preclude the possibility of women holding office as a minister or even as a bishop. "Everywhere" in express distinction from the women, men alone are to utter and direct public prayers. Women are to reserve questions on matters they do not understand to their own husbands in their own house (I Corinthians 14:34-36).
The corn of wheat that fell into the ground, died and rose again, returned to the ground under Roman Catholic martyrdom during the Thyatira Church Age (606-1520). Through the Reformation of the Roman Catholic system of false worship under the last three Church Ages it has repeated the cycle of growth and is now headed up in the original spoken Word Seed as the many-membered Body of Christ's end-time Bride. She is a Word Bride under preeminence to her Husband as He was under preeminence to the Father (John 5:19) so she can do "the greater works" in the manifestation of the Sons of God.
The tares are heading up in Satan's Roman Catholic false church and the World Council of her (once) Protestant daughter churches. When Satan is incarnate in their head, the antichrist or pope will be designated "the beast" (Revelation 17:8-11), and together they will be cast alive into a lake of Fire (Revelation 2:20-23; 19:20; 20:10).
Let us hold the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience that we may mature in the Word until becoming a Word Bride the mighty works will be found in us that are always attendant upon the pure Word and faith. nl535.htm

Israel Authorities warn Hospitals to prepare for Earthquake
June 30, 2008 — "The probability of an earthquake of a magnitude of up to six on the Richter scale, originating in Lebanon and being felt in Israel has increased" . . . Since February, abnormal seismic activity has been noted in southern Lebanon, which had suffered some 500 minor earthquakes in a three-month period, health ministry director-general Avi Yisraeli said, . . . "In May, the tremors have become more intense and were felt in northern Israel,"
Similar concern was issued by Lebanon's national scientific research centre. The secretary general of the centre, Moueen Hamz, told AFP in Beirut that 800 tremors ranging in magnitude from 2.3-5.1 degrees on the Richter scale had shaken the south Lebanon regions of Tyre and Nabatiyeh since February 12. . . Experts in Lebanon expect a quake of between five and six degrees on the Richter scale to strike, like the tremor that shook Lebanon in 1956 killing 136 people and destroying 6,000 houses. . . Full story: breitbart.com
Comment: This seismic activity is to be expected since the mount of Olives in the South East of Israel will be divided by an earthquake simultaneously with the sinking of Los Angeles.

US Banking System is Doomed
June 25, 2008 – US banking, as it has evolved, is now passing from a deep Darwinist phase, the survival of the fittest, or the cannibalisation of the weakest, to something more explosive. . . like a poisoned aquarium, where some of the fish are dying and others, like Goldman Sachs, are feasting. But the system is poisoned. "They (companies like Goldman) are very adept at staying afloat by pushing their colleagues back into the water". . .
"The Treasury's attempt to reflate the real estate market has not worked, and it can't work . . . The banks are trying to win back their losses by arbitrage operations, borrowing from the Fed at a low interest rate and lending at a higher one, and gambling on options. "But options and derivatives are a zero-sum game: one party's gain is another's loss. So the banks collectively are simply painting themselves into a deeper corner.
Increasingly, independent analysts like Whalen and Hudson are blaming deregulation, especially the repeal of the 1930s Glass-Steagall Act . . . leading . . . to insufficient, or non-existent, oversight. . . Full story: theage.com.au

Financial Catastrophe Looms
July 1, 2008 – The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) says global markets may still be set for severe economic downturn. . . Associate Professor Dick Bryan, an economist from the University of Sydney [said], "It's telling central banks that they got it wrong, that they shouldn't have let us get into this precarious position, that they should have been constraining credit earlier and that they've put us in a position now where there just aren't clear policy options."

Comment: Our alien-controlled central banks, the IMF and BIS have faithfully fulfilled their destiny by bringing the nations under hopelessly unrepayable debt whereby the merchants of Venice (relocated to "the City of London" in the seventeenth century), will soon demand their "pound of flesh" . . . with usury, in the form of a gold-backed global electronic currency.
Meyer Amschel Rothschild said: "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws. Enforced unemployment and hunger, imposed on the masses because of the power we have to create shortages of food, will create the RIGHT of Capital to rule more surely than it was given to the real aristocracy."
Speaking of world government, Amschel Rothschild wrote: "It will be necessary to establish huge monopolies, reservoirs of such colossal riches that even the largest fortunes of the goyim will depend on us to such an extent that they will go to the bottom together with the credit of their governments ON THE DAY AFTER THE GREAT POLITICAL SMASH".

The Governor told the Truth
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself this simple question: If the government can print as much money as it needs, then why is there an income tax?
In 1946, Beardsley Ruml—then Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of NYC, told the truth in a speech titled "Taxes For Revenue Are Obsolete". . . since a government can easily print all the paper money it needs, in any amount, and therefore does not need to tax anyone, an income tax is maintained to siphon excess paper out of circulation, to stabilize the purchasing power of paper money (i.e. regulate inflation) and prevent the hyperinflation that would ordinarily result from printing too much paper!
Ample paper must continuously be taxed (siphoned) out of circulation to keep pace with the interest payments on the national debt, being made to the mostly foreign bankers who designed and control the Federal Reserve System.
In 1982, the prestigious, private-sector Grace Commission, in their cost-cutting report to President Reagan, confirmed the ineptness of the income tax to control inflation. The following quote by the Commission confirms that they do not even understand how the income tax functions, and that the present rate of taxation does not pay the interest for the use of the money printed by the Federal Reserve Bank and thus cannot even begin to affect the growth of the national debt. . . "100% [of income taxes] collected is absorbed solely by interest on the federal debt ... all income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services taxpayers expect from the government" Full story: detaxcanada.org
Comment: The voting rights (shares) of the Bank of Canada have been owned by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York since 1936.

Think You have a Choice?
June 30, 2008 – Why would the power elite want Senator Barack Obama rather than Senator Clinton as the Democrat nominee for President? It may be so that Senator McCain will win. Senator Obama has a tremendous amount of "baggage" . . . the power elite could set up Obama to lose to McCain, who pleased the power elite (PE) on June 20, 2008 while addressing the Economic Club of Toronto by signaling his support for the Security and Prosperity Partnership. He said the next president will add to the "security and prosperity of North America." He also referred to our "security partnership," the "integration of our economies," and our "shared destiny." He further indicated he would "defend NAFTA without equivocation," and that the US should "deepen its partnerships throughout the hemisphere and the world." Because of upcoming national economic difficulties, McCain would serve only one term. Then the power elite could bring Hillary back in 2012. Regarding the future, on ABC News June 19, 2008, was reported that Basra is an Iraq "success story." This is important because according to H.G. Wells in THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME (1933) Basra, not Baghdad or any other city in the world, is where a global conference will establish a world government. . .
In 1912, Woodrow Wilson said: ". . . We have come to be. . . one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world—no longer a government of conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men. . . ." The PE have been in control ever since and are currently manipulating events to bring about a world currency. Full story: newswithviews.com

Thou shalt not annoy on Youth Day
July 1, 2008 – Extraordinary new powers will allow police to arrest and fine people for "causing annoyance" to World Youth Day participants and permit partial strip searches at hundreds of Sydney sites, beginning today.
The laws, which operate until the end of July, have the potential to make a crime of wearing a T-shirt with a message on it . . . Police and volunteers from the State Emergency Service and Rural Fire Service will be able to direct people to cease engaging in conduct that "causes annoyance or inconvenience to participants in a World Youth Day event".
People who fail to comply will be subject to a $5,500 fine. . . More than 500 schools across Sydney and 35 train and bus stations have also been listed as "declared areas". . . the regulations were about "shutting down protests and quarantining the Pope and visiting Catholics away from messages World Youth Day authorities don't approve of".

Anglicanism faces Schism over Gay Priests, Women Bishops
London, July 1, 2008 – A divisive row over homosexuality and women bishops has left the worldwide Anglican Communion facing one of its worst ever crises, to the point where there is talk of an irrevocable schism. "The crisis is unprecedented since the Reformation devastated the Roman Catholic Church in England in the 16th century," The Times said Tuesday in a front-page article on a threat by 1,300 clergy to quit over women bishops.
And on Sunday after a conference in Jerusalem, some 300 conservative bishops and archbishops announced the creation of a new grouping that does not recognised the authority of Anglican leader the Archbishop of Canterbury. . .

Jerusalem & Babylon
June 29, 2008 – It was a conference that checked off all the boxes, 120 participants from all four corners of the Jewish world, from as far afield as Cuba; all in their twenties and thirties, not the usual crusty customers from the old organizations . . . "There was an opening ceremony at Mount Herzl, with a senior official from the Jewish Agency," says Tal Shahar, one participant, "and some of us felt this wasn't for us, we didn't come for some Zionist jamboree". . .
Some would instinctively say that if Jews don't like Israel or believe that the Palestinians were dispossessed by its foundation, then the state really doesn't have any interest in them. This was the belief that lead to the decision last month to deny anti-Zionist historian Norman Finkelstein entry to the country, despite the fact that he is eligible for automatic citizenship under the Law of Return. A real Zionist democracy shouldn't be beset with such a feeling of insecurity. The lively debate within Israel on the injustice and disadvantages of prolonging the occupation is to a large extent absent from the state's conversation with Jews overseas. Full story: haaretz.com
Comment: This is why the Zionazis hate Dr. Flinkelstein:
"The holocaust has proven to be an indispensable ideological weapon. through its deployment, one of the world's most formidable military powers, with an horrendous human rights record, has cast itself as a victim state, and the most successful ethnic group in the us has likewise acquired victim status, considerable dividends accrue from this specious victimhood—in particular, immunity to criticism, however justified" (Prof. Norman G. Finkelstein, The Holocaust Industry, Verso, 2000).

The Former and Latter Rain – Part III
A parable is commonly defined as "an earthly story with a heavenly meaning." It rests on the basis that man is made in the image of God, hence the natural types the Spiritual because the law of reproduction requires that everything bring forth after its kind so there is a continuity of the human with the Divine (Genesis 1:11, 26; Luke 3:38).
In the parables of Jesus, the natural world becomes a visible witness reflecting the invisible spiritual realm. Jesus' purpose in employing parables was the judicial veiling of truth as well as dialectic, to discriminate between the believer, the make-believer, and the un-believer. The parable, which was to the carnal a veiling, is to the receptive a progressive revealing of the truth. It was a penalty or a blessing according to the state of the hearer: a darkening to those who loved darkness, enshrining the truth (concerning Messiah's Spiritual Kingdom—so different from Jewish expectations) from the jeers of the scoffer, and leaving something for the careless non-elect afterwards to think over, while enlightening the diligent seeker of truth. His purpose remains unchanged to this day.
New Testament doctrines could not be understood fully before the historical facts such as Jesus' death and resurrection, the destruction of the Temple by Titus or the seven Church Ages, on which they rested, had been accomplished. Parables were repositories of truths not then understood, even when plainly told (Luke 18:34), but afterwards comprehended in their manifold significance, when the Spirit brought Jesus' Words to remembrance (John 14:26). The veil was sufficiently transparent to allow the spiritual easily to see the truth underneath, while those who were unspiritual saw only the sacred drapery of the parable in which He had wrapped the pearl so as not to cast it before swine.
So is it in the end of the Gentile dispensation; the former rain has been falling since the revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963 as Peter and Joel prophesied concerning "the restoration of all things spoken by the mouth of all God's holy prophets since the beginning of the world. . . I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh." This mystery is hidden in plain view for all to read and hear.
God cannot be accused of partiality or arbitrary judgement: "Whereas the rabbis have said, You shall love your fellow so-called Jew, and hate your enemy. I command you to love your enemies irrespective of their race or religion, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use and persecute you; that you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust" (Matthew 5:43-45).
Paul admonished likewise, "Bless your persecutors; bless, and do not curse them. Share the joy of those who are happy and the grief of those who grieve. Live in harmony with others, do not aspire to eminence, but associate yourselves with humble people; do not be conceited."
"In no case pay back evil for evil, determine on the noblest ways of dealing with all men. If possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but leave room for divine retribution; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will pay them back, says the Lord. Therefore if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink: for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:14-21).
The Gospel and Christian revelations are never taught in some secret place but spoken openly to "whomsoever will" hear. Those whose works cannot stand public scrutiny cover their activities in organizations such as the CFR, Masonry, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg, World Council of Churches, Judaism, Judaeo-Roman Catholicism and myriad metastasized tentacles of Luciferian Illuminism.
As parables veil a progressive revealing of truths only perfectly understood as history unfolds, it is at the end of the age that partial realization becomes perfect realization. When prophecy becomes history, perfect realization becomes completed realization as we experientially live these truths in real time.
Matthew 13:24-30, "The Kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while men were asleep his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went away. When the blade sprung up and the wheat headed, so did the tares. The owner's servants went to him and said, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where then did the tares come from?"
"He said, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Would you have us to weed them out? But he said, No, for in gathering up the weeds you might uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I shall direct the reapers to collect the weeds first, and bind them in bundles ready for burning, then to gather the wheat into my barn".
In verse 39 Jesus explains that His servants (Revelation 1:1) who sowed the good seed are also the reapers. They are the seven angels to the Church Ages: Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Martin Luther, John Wesley and William Branham. The harvest is the end of the dispensations that antitype the Pentecostal feast; we live in the holy convocation of the fiftieth and last day of the feast. The former rain has brought the seed that was planted through the cycle of growth back into seed so that following the close of the Laodicean Church Age and the revelation of the Seals, the sevenfold Spirit that manifest in PART through the ministry of His servants, is present now in its fulness. And the Holy Spirit falling upon all flesh has bound the tares into bundles according to the personal choices of the non-elect, for the fruit of their lives bears witness to the nature of the seed that was sown, and cannot be disguised in the harvest time.
The natural types the Spiritual. As the mystery of God is finished, so the secret things of men's character can no longer be hid. The sowing has finished and the crop has reached maturity declaring the fruit of the life that was planted. We are in the harvest time wherein all secrets will be know. This explains why the activities of paedophile judges and priests, corrupt policemen, treasonous politicians past and present, lies taught as "history" and education in general, heretical religions, the hypocrisy of our Hegelian sham democracies, Babylonian fractional reserve usury and central banking scams, fraudulent science, health and nutrition, freemasonry, and the scheming of Lucifer's six-thousand year conspiracy for totalitarian one world government involving the most eminent and "honourable men" are all being exposed.
Luke 12:2, "There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known". Hebrews 4:12, "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Nothing is hidden in harvest time when every seed brings forth of its own kind.
Luke 21:29-32, "Jesus told a parable; See the fig tree, and all the trees; when they are fully budding, you know by looking at them that summer is in the offing. Similarly when you notice these things taking place, be assured that the Kingdom of God is near. I assure you it will come before this generation passes away. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My Words shall not pass away".
Trees represent kindred groups, and all have had their revival under the former rain. The fig tree signifies Israel in whose name a modern nation state has been established in the Promised Land by their sworn enemy and impersonator whom the Reaper has bound into Zionist, Sabbatean, Communist, Masonic and other Judaistic bundles. Other tares have been bound into Judaeo-Roman Catholic, Baptist, Methodist and Pentecostal bundles, humanist, neo-con, socialist, Rhodes Scholarship, Club of Rome, Mont Pelerin, Pilgrims' Society, United Nations bundles, all ready for the burning. The former rain which was sent for the wheat, has fallen on the just and the unjust, and each has reproduced the life of the seed that was planted.
Jesus explained in Matthew 13:30, the tares have their revivals first. James 5:7 says, "Endure patiently, brethren, until the [parousia] Coming of the Lord. Take notice how the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, continuing in patience until it receives the early and latter rains".
Christ's 'parousia' Coming was in 1963; He is present now. The former rain of Brother Branham's ministry was the "shout" of Matthew 25:6 and I Thessalonians 4:14-16 waking the virgin from denominational slumber and calling her out from Mystery Babylon and her harlot daughters to meet the Bridegroom at His Coming. The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form, and as the parable explains, the virgins must fill their vessels with Oil of the Spirit and trim the denominational carbon from their lamps so they can walk in the Light of the present Truth (I Corinthians 13:10).
Brother Branham was the angel of Revelation 1:1 by whom Christ "sent and signified the Book of Revelation to His servant John." He was the angel who led John through the visions on the Island of Patmos. Therefore we know that throughout the Book of Revelation John represents Christ's end-time Bride because the Book was sealed to the time of the end, until "the days of the Voice of the seventh angel when the mystery of God should be finished" (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:4, 7). The revelation of the Seven Seals is the former rain of Brother Branham's Message that dresses Christ's Bride in the righteousnesses of the saints of all seven Church Ages, which is the fullness of the Word that makes up the Capstone of the Body of Christ.
In Revelation 21 Brother Branham shows John, (Christ's end-time Bride), new Jerusalem, which is the Bride of all Ages who are joint heirs with Jesus Messiah in the new heaven and new earth. In verse 27 he tells John "Nothing unclean nor anyone practicing abomination and falsehood shall ever enter it, but only the saints of the Old and New Testaments written in the Lamb's Book of Life." Revelation 22:1-13, "Then Brother Branham showed me the river of the Water of Life (or revelation), clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. And running through the middle of the street on either side of the river, trees of Life (the Old and New Testament saints) bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for a memorial of the restoration of the nations to the Lord" (a the elements of the Lord's Supper signify our individual union).
"There shall no longer be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall worship Him. They shall see His face; and His Name shall be in their foreheads. And night shall be no more; they will need neither lamplight nor sunlight, for the Lord God will be their Light, and they shall reign for ever and ever."
Then Brother Branham said to me,These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show His servants what must soon take place (Revelation 1:1). Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the prophecy of this Book."
"I, (certain hearers of this Message), am the one who saw and heard these things, and when I had heard and seen, I bowed down to worship at the feet of William Branham, the angel who showed them to me. But he told me, You must not do that! I am a fellowservant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the Words of this Book. Worship God."
(This came to pass in 1961 when some misguided folk, bedazzled by the abundance of the Supernatural (Luke 17:28-30), actually thought Brother Branham was Jesus and were baptizing in the name of William Marrion Branham. Brother Branham reprimanded them and resolved to terminate his ministry before taking glory from Christ as an antichrist had those Brothers not repented (Bruised Serpent; The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 461:Q42; C.O.D., 861:Q214; also Revelation 19:10).
"Then he said to me, Do not seal the Words of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand."
Time was at hand for the fulfilment of verses 7 and 12, "Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the prophecy of this Book." It was time for the revelation of Christ's secret, sudden 'parousia' Coming through the revelation of the Seven Seals (Revelation 10:1-7), which would be known only to those who take the unsealed Book from the hands of Christ and become one with its prophecy as commanded in Revelation 10:8-11. Many newcomers to the Message do not feel the hunger of the previous generation to devour the Spoken Word books but trust their kind old priest to study and provide them a second-hand religion, which they do not prove in their own Bibles. Is this the spirit of Laodicea?
What if your kind old minister is in error? Since you are following him and his reasoning and not the revealed Word, would this indicate you have learning without faith and are justified by neither?
"Let the unjust be unjust still: and the filthy be filthy still: and let the righteous be righteous still: and the saints be holy still. Behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to render to each according to his doings. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last".
He has come quickly, but why after 45 years has He not taken His waiting Bride Home? What is He waiting for? Apart from you and me, what is delaying the resurrection? Besides waiting for others like you and me to put on the likeness of the Lord God and maintain the Token on display He is waiting for that last elect.
Where is that last elect? Should he be sought among the nomads of the desert, or savages in the jungle; in Judaism, Islam or Hindustan? Well, not if we follow the pattern of previous exodus's whose ranks were filled by people of a common hope. In the first exodus, God gathered believers from among the children of Abraham, Isaac and Israel to whom He had promised a land of milk and honey where they could live as a holy nation. In the second exodus, He called His chosen ones out from apostate natural Israel into union with Messiah. In the third exodus He is calling believers out from the apostate churches to the eternal land of the Millennium.
Under the Law, Gentile proselytes and converts were joining themselves to the common faith of Israel. Under grace, an election were called into the second exodus by the former rain of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-12, 41-42; 8:1-6; 10:1-8, 34-48). Under grace, heathens from every nation, tribe and tongue of Adam's race were gathered into the faith. From among these people of the common faith the Lord is calling His end-time Bride by the former rain in this fiftieth day of the antitype of the Pentecostal feast, into the third exodus.
Throughout the Church Ages the evangelistic call was to deliver the Gospel to the heathen peoples of Adam's race all over the world (Matthew 28:19-20). And God gave the saints two thousand years in which to call His elect out of darkness into Light. Since He has come in the secret rapture of the Church, and "shortened the days lest there be no flesh saved for the translation" (Matthew 24:22-28; Romans 9:28-29), the objective of the end-time evangelism is not to convert raw heathens but to correct the erroneous understandings of those who believe they are Christians but far from being free in the liberty of "the river of the Water of Life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb," they are bound in chains of man-made creed and dogma.
I have witnessed missionaries from denominations inside and outside the circle of this Message seek to gather a following through building schools, hospitals, churches, roads, homes, farm improvements, providing food, second hand clothing, friendship, money, and everything but the revelation of the Word of the hour. Perhaps they feel that by perseverance they will weary the unbelievers into the Body of Christ, but that will not work (Titus 3:9-11). After almost half a century since the Coming of the Lord, the major emphasis on evangelism seems directed toward everyone but those specified by the Holy Spirit in Matthew 25:1-13 and Revelation 18:4.
Hebrews 6:1-8, "Let us leave behind the elementary doctrine of Christ and advance toward maturity. Surely we don't need to speak further about the foolishness of trying to be saved by being good, or about the necessity of faith in God, of instruction about baptism and Spiritual gifts, and the resurrection of the dead and of eternal judgment. And this will we do if God permits."
"For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once for all been enlightened, have tasted of the heavenly gift, have become participants in the Holy Ghost, have tasted the goodness of the Word of God and the powers of the world to come, if they then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God afresh on their own account, and hold Him up to contempt. For the land that drinks the rain that often falls on it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. But if it bears thorns and thistles it is worthless, and near to being cursed; its end is to be burned".
The end-time evangelism of the former rain in the third exodus is directed to those who believe God's promises and think they are in Christ, unaware that they are in bed with the Jezebel religion of Revelation 2:20-23. Neither the wise not the foolish virgin are going to be cajoled out of their denominations. Jesus said, "My sheep receive My Word." If after the first and second admonition they reject the present Truth you know the election is off. Just walk away from them. However, if they are His sheep and you present the Word for their hour, they will receive It.
Soon earthquakes will sink Los Angeles beneath the sea and divide the mount of Olives. Then the latter rain will fall upon all flesh, "the wicked will do wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand; but the wise shall understand" (Daniel 12:10). Why so? Because the latter rain is the harvest rain causing every plant to manifest in the nature and quality of its fruit the true life of the seed that was planted. At this time grace and mercy will have expired:
Revelation 12:10, "And I [....your name here....] heard an authoritative Voice in heaven saying, Now the salvation, and the power, and the reign of our God has come, and the sovereign authority of His Christ will be exercised through His Wife under preeminence to her Husband by the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God, for the Accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night is cast down".
Satan will become truly incarnate in the pope of Rome who will head up the World Council of Churches (as he was quoted as saying in our previous Newsletter). And by his gold (remember Judas held the bag) he will control the whole world, and that antichrist system will own everything and try to control everybody. But after the Tribulation, Jesus will destroy them all by the brightness of His Coming, and their end will be the lake of Fire (II Thessalonians 2:8; Revelation 19:20; 20:10).
Revelation 3:10, "I will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."
Brother Branham said, "This temptation is exactly like the temptation in Eden. It will be a very inviting proposition held up in direct opposition to God's commanded Word, and yet from the standpoint of human reasoning it will be so very right, so enlightening and life-giving as to fool the world (Revelation 13:4, 8 - Ed). Only the very elect will not be fooled.
The temptation will come as follows. The ecumenical move that has started on what seems such a beautiful and blessed principle (fulfilling Christ's prayer that we all might be one) becomes so strong politically that she bears pressure upon the government to cause all to join with her either directly or through adherence to principles enacted into law so that no people will be recognized as actual churches unless under direct or indirect domination of this council. Little groups will lose charters, privileges, etc., until they lose all property and spiritual rights with the people.
For example, right now unless the local ministerial association approves in many, if not most cities, one cannot rent a building for religious services. To become chaplains in the armed services, hospitals, etc., it is now almost mandatory to be recognized as acceptable to the trinitarian ecumenical groups. As this pressure increases, and it will, it will be harder to resist, for to resist is to lose privilege. And so many will be tempted to go along, for they will feel it is better to serve God publicly in the framework of this organization than not to serve God at all publicly. But they err. To believe the devil's lie is to serve Satan, even though you may want to call him Jehovah. But the elect will not be deceived.
Furthermore, the elect will not only be kept, but as this move becomes the "image erected to the beast," the saints will be gone in the rapture. And this little delightful, winsome movement that started out in fellowship at Ephesus will become the monster of Satan that defiles and deceives the whole world. For the church system of the Roman Catholic and the Protestant in coming together will control the whole wealth of the world system and force the whole earth into its religious trap, or will kill them, by refusing them the privilege of buying and selling whereby they would make a living. This will be accomplished simply, for the harlot's daughters are all but gone back to her. In the meantime, Rome has acquired nearly all the supplies of gold. The Jews have the bonds and all the paper. At the right time, the harlot will destroy the present day money system by calling in all the paper, and demanding gold. With no gold, the system falls. The Jews will be trapped and come into the alliance, and the harlot church will take over the whole world" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 313:2-314:1; Revelation 13:11-18).
This will be the fulfilment of the sixth of seven consecutive the Lord showed His Prophet in 1933. Rome will rule the world as the Lord revealed to Daniel and Jesus Messiah, and as it was in the days of Lot, Sodom and its Sodomites will burn as the Lord showed Brother Branham in the last of seven consecutive visions wherein he heard a terrible explosion, and as he turned to look he saw nothing but debris, craters and smoke all over the land of America.
Years before that time, the resurrection of the Church Age saints will begin; Christ's end-time Bride will become a hunted and persecuted little group exercising the 'third pull' before we change in the atoms to meet our promised Son in the air as God changed Abraham and Sarah in the atoms in order that they could receive their promised son. nl534.htm

Israel Authorities warn Hospitals to prepare for Earthquake
June 30, 2008 — "The probability of an earthquake of a magnitude of up to six on the Richter scale, originating in Lebanon and being felt in Israel has increased" . . . Since February, abnormal seismic activity has been noted in southern Lebanon, which had suffered some 500 minor earthquakes in a three-month period, health ministry director-general Avi Yisraeli said, . . . "In May, the tremors have become more intense and were felt in northern Israel,"
Similar concern was issued by Lebanon's national scientific research centre. The secretary general of the centre, Moueen Hamz, told AFP in Beirut that 800 tremors ranging in magnitude from 2.3-5.1 degrees on the Richter scale had shaken the south Lebanon regions of Tyre and Nabatiyeh since February 12. . . Experts in Lebanon expect a quake of between five and six degrees on the Richter scale to strike, like the tremor that shook Lebanon in 1956 killing 136 people and destroying 6,000 houses. . . Full story: breitbart.com
Comment: This seismic activity is to be expected since the mount of Olives in the South East of Israel will be divided by an earthquake simultaneously with the sinking of Los Angeles.

June 25, 2008 – US banking, as it has evolved, is now passing from a deep Darwinist phase, the survival of the fittest, or the cannibalisation of the weakest, to something more explosive. . . like a poisoned aquarium, where some of the fish are dying and others, like Goldman Sachs, are feasting. But the system is poisoned. "They (companies like Goldman) are very adept at staying afloat by pushing their colleagues back into the water". . .
"The Treasury's attempt to reflate the real estate market has not worked, and it can't work . . . The banks are trying to win back their losses by arbitrage operations, borrowing from the Fed at a low interest rate and lending at a higher one, and gambling on options. "But options and derivatives are a zero-sum game: one party's gain is another's loss. So the banks collectively are simply painting themselves into a deeper corner.
Increasingly, independent analysts like Whalen and Hudson are blaming deregulation, especially the repeal of the 1930s Glass-Steagall Act . . . leading . . . to insufficient, or non-existent, oversight. . . Full story: theage.com.au

Financial Catastrophe Looms
July 1, 2008 – The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) says global markets may still be set for severe economic downturn. . . Associate Professor Dick Bryan, an economist from the University of Sydney [said], "It's telling central banks that they got it wrong, that they shouldn't have let us get into this precarious position, that they should have been constraining credit earlier and that they've put us in a position now where there just aren't clear policy options."

Comment: Our alien-controlled central banks, the IMF and BIS have faithfully fulfilled their destiny by bringing the nations under hopelessly unrepayable debt whereby the merchants of Venice (relocated to "the City of London" in the seventeenth century), will soon demand their "pound of flesh" . . . with usury, in the form of a gold-backed global electronic currency.
Meyer Amschel Rothschild said: "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws. Enforced unemployment and hunger, imposed on the masses because of the power we have to create shortages of food, will create the RIGHT of Capital to rule more surely than it was given to the real aristocracy."
Speaking of world government, Amschel Rothschild wrote: "It will be necessary to establish huge monopolies, reservoirs of such colossal riches that even the largest fortunes of the goyim will depend on us to such an extent that they will go to the bottom together with the credit of their governments ON THE DAY AFTER THE GREAT POLITICAL SMASH".

The Governor told the Truth
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself this simple question: If the government can print as much money as it needs, then why is there an income tax?
In 1946, Beardsley Ruml—then Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of NYC, told the truth in a speech titled "Taxes For Revenue Are Obsolete". . . since a government can easily print all the paper money it needs, in any amount, and therefore does not need to tax anyone, an income tax is maintained to siphon excess paper out of circulation, to stabilize the purchasing power of paper money (i.e. regulate inflation) and prevent the hyperinflation that would ordinarily result from printing too much paper!
Ample paper must continuously be taxed (siphoned) out of circulation to keep pace with the interest payments on the national debt, being made to the mostly foreign bankers who designed and control the Federal Reserve System.
In 1982, the prestigious, private-sector Grace Commission, in their cost-cutting report to President Reagan, confirmed the ineptness of the income tax to control inflation. The following quote by the Commission confirms that they do not even understand how the income tax functions, and that the present rate of taxation does not pay the interest for the use of the money printed by the Federal Reserve Bank and thus cannot even begin to affect the growth of the national debt. . . "100% [of income taxes] collected is absorbed solely by interest on the federal debt ... all income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services taxpayers expect from the government" Full story: detaxcanada.org
Comment: The voting rights (shares) of the Bank of Canada have been owned by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York since 1936.

Think You have a Choice?
June 30, 2008 – Why would the power elite want Senator Barack Obama rather than Senator Clinton as the Democrat nominee for President? It may be so that Senator McCain will win. Senator Obama has a tremendous amount of "baggage" . . . the power elite could set up Obama to lose to McCain, who pleased the power elite (PE) on June 20, 2008 while addressing the Economic Club of Toronto by signaling his support for the Security and Prosperity Partnership. He said the next president will add to the "security and prosperity of North America." He also referred to our "security partnership," the "integration of our economies," and our "shared destiny." He further indicated he would "defend NAFTA without equivocation," and that the US should "deepen its partnerships throughout the hemisphere and the world." Because of upcoming national economic difficulties, McCain would serve only one term. Then the power elite could bring Hillary back in 2012. Regarding the future, on ABC News June 19, 2008, was reported that Basra is an Iraq "success story." This is important because according to H.G. Wells in THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME (1933) Basra, not Baghdad or any other city in the world, is where a global conference will establish a world government. . .
In 1912, Woodrow Wilson said: ". . . We have come to be. . . one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world—no longer a government of conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men. . . ." The PE have been in control ever since and are currently manipulating events to bring about a world currency. Full story: newswithviews.com

Thou shalt not annoy on Youth Day
July 1, 2008 – Extraordinary new powers will allow police to arrest and fine people for "causing annoyance" to World Youth Day participants and permit partial strip searches at hundreds of Sydney sites, beginning today.
The laws, which operate until the end of July, have the potential to make a crime of wearing a T-shirt with a message on it . . . Police and volunteers from the State Emergency Service and Rural Fire Service will be able to direct people to cease engaging in conduct that "causes annoyance or inconvenience to participants in a World Youth Day event".
People who fail to comply will be subject to a $5,500 fine. . . More than 500 schools across Sydney and 35 train and bus stations have also been listed as "declared areas". . . the regulations were about "shutting down protests and quarantining the Pope and visiting Catholics away from messages World Youth Day authorities don't approve of".

Anglicanism faces Schism over Gay Priests, Women Bishops
London, July 1, 2008 – A divisive row over homosexuality and women bishops has left the worldwide Anglican Communion facing one of its worst ever crises, to the point where there is talk of an irrevocable schism. "The crisis is unprecedented since the Reformation devastated the Roman Catholic Church in England in the 16th century," The Times said Tuesday in a front-page article on a threat by 1,300 clergy to quit over women bishops.
And on Sunday after a conference in Jerusalem, some 300 conservative bishops and archbishops announced the creation of a new grouping that does not recognised the authority of Anglican leader the Archbishop of Canterbury. . .

Jerusalem & Babylon
June 29, 2008 – It was a conference that checked off all the boxes, 120 participants from all four corners of the Jewish world, from as far afield as Cuba; all in their twenties and thirties, not the usual crusty customers from the old organizations . . . "There was an opening ceremony at Mount Herzl, with a senior official from the Jewish Agency," says Tal Shahar, one participant, "and some of us felt this wasn't for us, we didn't come for some Zionist jamboree". . .
Some would instinctively say that if Jews don't like Israel or believe that the Palestinians were dispossessed by its foundation, then the state really doesn't have any interest in them. This was the belief that lead to the decision last month to deny anti-Zionist historian Norman Finkelstein entry to the country, despite the fact that he is eligible for automatic citizenship under the Law of Return. A real Zionist democracy shouldn't be beset with such a feeling of insecurity. The lively debate within Israel on the injustice and disadvantages of prolonging the occupation is to a large extent absent from the state's conversation with Jews overseas. Full story: haaretz.com
Comment: This is why the Zionazis hate Dr. Flinkelstein:
"The holocaust has proven to be an indispensable ideological weapon. through its deployment, one of the world's most formidable military powers, with an horrendous human rights record, has cast itself as a victim state, and the most successful ethnic group in the us has likewise acquired victim status, considerable dividends accrue from this specious victimhood—in particular, immunity to criticism, however justified" (Prof. Norman G. Finkelstein, The Holocaust Industry, Verso, 2000).

The Former and Latter Rain – Part III
A parable is commonly defined as "an earthly story with a heavenly meaning." It rests on the basis that man is made in the image of God, hence the natural types the Spiritual because the law of reproduction requires that everything bring forth after its kind so there is a continuity of the human with the Divine (Genesis 1:11, 26; Luke 3:38).
In the parables of Jesus, the natural world becomes a visible witness reflecting the invisible spiritual realm. Jesus' purpose in employing parables was the judicial veiling of truth as well as dialectic, to discriminate between the believer, the make-believer, and the un-believer. The parable, which was to the carnal a veiling, is to the receptive a progressive revealing of the truth. It was a penalty or a blessing according to the state of the hearer: a darkening to those who loved darkness, enshrining the truth (concerning Messiah's Spiritual Kingdom—so different from Jewish expectations) from the jeers of the scoffer, and leaving something for the careless non-elect afterwards to think over, while enlightening the diligent seeker of truth. His purpose remains unchanged to this day.
New Testament doctrines could not be understood fully before the historical facts such as Jesus' death and resurrection, the destruction of the Temple by Titus or the seven Church Ages, on which they rested, had been accomplished. Parables were repositories of truths not then understood, even when plainly told (Luke 18:34), but afterwards comprehended in their manifold significance, when the Spirit brought Jesus' Words to remembrance (John 14:26). The veil was sufficiently transparent to allow the spiritual easily to see the truth underneath, while those who were unspiritual saw only the sacred drapery of the parable in which He had wrapped the pearl so as not to cast it before swine.
So is it in the end of the Gentile dispensation; the former rain has been falling since the revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963 as Peter and Joel prophesied concerning "the restoration of all things spoken by the mouth of all God's holy prophets since the beginning of the world. . . I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh." This mystery is hidden in plain view for all to read and hear.
God cannot be accused of partiality or arbitrary judgement: "Whereas the rabbis have said, You shall love your fellow so-called Jew, and hate your enemy. I command you to love your enemies irrespective of their race or religion, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use and persecute you; that you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust" (Matthew 5:43-45).
Paul admonished likewise, "Bless your persecutors; bless, and do not curse them. Share the joy of those who are happy and the grief of those who grieve. Live in harmony with others, do not aspire to eminence, but associate yourselves with humble people; do not be conceited."
"In no case pay back evil for evil, determine on the noblest ways of dealing with all men. If possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but leave room for divine retribution; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will pay them back, says the Lord. Therefore if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink: for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:14-21).
The Gospel and Christian revelations are never taught in some secret place but spoken openly to "whomsoever will" hear. Those whose works cannot stand public scrutiny cover their activities in organizations such as the CFR, Masonry, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg, World Council of Churches, Judaism, Judaeo-Roman Catholicism and myriad metastasized tentacles of Luciferian Illuminism.
As parables veil a progressive revealing of truths only perfectly understood as history unfolds, it is at the end of the age that partial realization becomes perfect realization. When prophecy becomes history, perfect realization becomes completed realization as we experientially live these truths in real time.
Matthew 13:24-30, "The Kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while men were asleep his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went away. When the blade sprung up and the wheat headed, so did the tares. The owner's servants went to him and said, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where then did the tares come from?"
"He said, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Would you have us to weed them out? But he said, No, for in gathering up the weeds you might uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I shall direct the reapers to collect the weeds first, and bind them in bundles ready for burning, then to gather the wheat into my barn".
In verse 39 Jesus explains that His servants (Revelation 1:1) who sowed the good seed are also the reapers. They are the seven angels to the Church Ages: Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Martin Luther, John Wesley and William Branham. The harvest is the end of the dispensations that antitype the Pentecostal feast; we live in the holy convocation of the fiftieth and last day of the feast. The former rain has brought the seed that was planted through the cycle of growth back into seed so that following the close of the Laodicean Church Age and the revelation of the Seals, the sevenfold Spirit that manifest in PART through the ministry of His servants, is present now in its fulness. And the Holy Spirit falling upon all flesh has bound the tares into bundles according to the personal choices of the non-elect, for the fruit of their lives bears witness to the nature of the seed that was sown, and cannot be disguised in the harvest time.
The natural types the Spiritual. As the mystery of God is finished, so the secret things of men's character can no longer be hid. The sowing has finished and the crop has reached maturity declaring the fruit of the life that was planted. We are in the harvest time wherein all secrets will be know. This explains why the activities of paedophile judges and priests, corrupt policemen, treasonous politicians past and present, lies taught as "history" and education in general, heretical religions, the hypocrisy of our Hegelian sham democracies, Babylonian fractional reserve usury and central banking scams, fraudulent science, health and nutrition, freemasonry, and the scheming of Lucifer's six-thousand year conspiracy for totalitarian one world government involving the most eminent and "honourable men" are all being exposed.
Luke 12:2, "There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known". Hebrews 4:12, "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Nothing is hidden in harvest time when every seed brings forth of its own kind.
Luke 21:29-32, "Jesus told a parable; See the fig tree, and all the trees; when they are fully budding, you know by looking at them that summer is in the offing. Similarly when you notice these things taking place, be assured that the Kingdom of God is near. I assure you it will come before this generation passes away. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My Words shall not pass away".
Trees represent kindred groups, and all have had their revival under the former rain. The fig tree signifies Israel in whose name a modern nation state has been established in the Promised Land by their sworn enemy and impersonator whom the Reaper has bound into Zionist, Sabbatean, Communist, Masonic and other Judaistic bundles. Other tares have been bound into Judaeo-Roman Catholic, Baptist, Methodist and Pentecostal bundles, humanist, neo-con, socialist, Rhodes Scholarship, Club of Rome, Mont Pelerin, Pilgrims' Society, United Nations bundles, all ready for the burning. The former rain which was sent for the wheat, has fallen on the just and the unjust, and each has reproduced the life of the seed that was planted.
Jesus explained in Matthew 13:30, the tares have their revivals first. James 5:7 says, "Endure patiently, brethren, until the [parousia] Coming of the Lord. Take notice how the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, continuing in patience until it receives the early and latter rains".
Christ's 'parousia' Coming was in 1963; He is present now. The former rain of Brother Branham's ministry was the "shout" of Matthew 25:6 and I Thessalonians 4:14-16 waking the virgin from denominational slumber and calling her out from Mystery Babylon and her harlot daughters to meet the Bridegroom at His Coming. The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form, and as the parable explains, the virgins must fill their vessels with Oil of the Spirit and trim the denominational carbon from their lamps so they can walk in the Light of the present Truth (I Corinthians 13:10).
Brother Branham was the angel of Revelation 1:1 by whom Christ "sent and signified the Book of Revelation to His servant John." He was the angel who led John through the visions on the Island of Patmos. Therefore we know that throughout the Book of Revelation John represents Christ's end-time Bride because the Book was sealed to the time of the end, until "the days of the Voice of the seventh angel when the mystery of God should be finished" (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:4, 7). The revelation of the Seven Seals is the former rain of Brother Branham's Message that dresses Christ's Bride in the righteousnesses of the saints of all seven Church Ages, which is the fullness of the Word that makes up the Capstone of the Body of Christ.
In Revelation 21 Brother Branham shows John, (Christ's end-time Bride), new Jerusalem, which is the Bride of all Ages who are joint heirs with Jesus Messiah in the new heaven and new earth. In verse 27 he tells John "Nothing unclean nor anyone practicing abomination and falsehood shall ever enter it, but only the saints of the Old and New Testaments written in the Lamb's Book of Life." Revelation 22:1-13, "Then Brother Branham showed me the river of the Water of Life (or revelation), clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. And running through the middle of the street on either side of the river, trees of Life (the Old and New Testament saints) bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for a memorial of the restoration of the nations to the Lord" (a the elements of the Lord's Supper signify our individual union).
"There shall no longer be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall worship Him. They shall see His face; and His Name shall be in their foreheads. And night shall be no more; they will need neither lamplight nor sunlight, for the Lord God will be their Light, and they shall reign for ever and ever."
Then Brother Branham said to me,These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show His servants what must soon take place (Revelation 1:1). Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the prophecy of this Book."
"I, (certain hearers of this Message), am the one who saw and heard these things, and when I had heard and seen, I bowed down to worship at the feet of William Branham, the angel who showed them to me. But he told me, You must not do that! I am a fellowservant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the Words of this Book. Worship God."
(This came to pass in 1961 when some misguided folk, bedazzled by the abundance of the Supernatural (Luke 17:28-30), actually thought Brother Branham was Jesus and were baptizing in the name of William Marrion Branham. Brother Branham reprimanded them and resolved to terminate his ministry before taking glory from Christ as an antichrist had those Brothers not repented (Bruised Serpent; The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 461:Q42; C.O.D., 861:Q214; also Revelation 19:10).
"Then he said to me, Do not seal the Words of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand."
Time was at hand for the fulfilment of verses 7 and 12, "Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the prophecy of this Book." It was time for the revelation of Christ's secret, sudden 'parousia' Coming through the revelation of the Seven Seals (Revelation 10:1-7), which would be known only to those who take the unsealed Book from the hands of Christ and become one with its prophecy as commanded in Revelation 10:8-11. Many newcomers to the Message do not feel the hunger of the previous generation to devour the Spoken Word books but trust their kind old priest to study and provide them a second-hand religion, which they do not prove in their own Bibles. Is this the spirit of Laodicea?
What if your kind old minister is in error? Since you are following him and his reasoning and not the revealed Word, would this indicate you have learning without faith and are justified by neither?
"Let the unjust be unjust still: and the filthy be filthy still: and let the righteous be righteous still: and the saints be holy still. Behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to render to each according to his doings. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last".
He has come quickly, but why after 45 years has He not taken His waiting Bride Home? What is He waiting for? Apart from you and me, what is delaying the resurrection? Besides waiting for others like you and me to put on the likeness of the Lord God and maintain the Token on display He is waiting for that last elect.
Where is that last elect? Should he be sought among the nomads of the desert, or savages in the jungle; in Judaism, Islam or Hindustan? Well, not if we follow the pattern of previous exodus's whose ranks were filled by people of a common hope. In the first exodus, God gathered believers from among the children of Abraham, Isaac and Israel to whom He had promised a land of milk and honey where they could live as a holy nation. In the second exodus, He called His chosen ones out from apostate natural Israel into union with Messiah. In the third exodus He is calling believers out from the apostate churches to the eternal land of the Millennium.
Under the Law, Gentile proselytes and converts were joining themselves to the common faith of Israel. Under grace, an election were called into the second exodus by the former rain of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-12, 41-42; 8:1-6; 10:1-8, 34-48). Under grace, heathens from every nation, tribe and tongue of Adam's race were gathered into the faith. From among these people of the common faith the Lord is calling His end-time Bride by the former rain in this fiftieth day of the antitype of the Pentecostal feast, into the third exodus.
Throughout the Church Ages the evangelistic call was to deliver the Gospel to the heathen peoples of Adam's race all over the world (Matthew 28:19-20). And God gave the saints two thousand years in which to call His elect out of darkness into Light. Since He has come in the secret rapture of the Church, and "shortened the days lest there be no flesh saved for the translation" (Matthew 24:22-28; Romans 9:28-29), the objective of the end-time evangelism is not to convert raw heathens but to correct the erroneous understandings of those who believe they are Christians but far from being free in the liberty of "the river of the Water of Life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb," they are bound in chains of man-made creed and dogma.
I have witnessed missionaries from denominations inside and outside the circle of this Message seek to gather a following through building schools, hospitals, churches, roads, homes, farm improvements, providing food, second hand clothing, friendship, money, and everything but the revelation of the Word of the hour. Perhaps they feel that by perseverance they will weary the unbelievers into the Body of Christ, but that will not work (Titus 3:9-11). After almost half a century since the Coming of the Lord, the major emphasis on evangelism seems directed toward everyone but those specified by the Holy Spirit in Matthew 25:1-13 and Revelation 18:4.
Hebrews 6:1-8, "Let us leave behind the elementary doctrine of Christ and advance toward maturity. Surely we don't need to speak further about the foolishness of trying to be saved by being good, or about the necessity of faith in God, of instruction about baptism and Spiritual gifts, and the resurrection of the dead and of eternal judgment. And this will we do if God permits."
"For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once for all been enlightened, have tasted of the heavenly gift, have become participants in the Holy Ghost, have tasted the goodness of the Word of God and the powers of the world to come, if they then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God afresh on their own account, and hold Him up to contempt. For the land that drinks the rain that often falls on it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. But if it bears thorns and thistles it is worthless, and near to being cursed; its end is to be burned".
The end-time evangelism of the former rain in the third exodus is directed to those who believe God's promises and think they are in Christ, unaware that they are in bed with the Jezebel religion of Revelation 2:20-23. Neither the wise not the foolish virgin are going to be cajoled out of their denominations. Jesus said, "My sheep receive My Word." If after the first and second admonition they reject the present Truth you know the election is off. Just walk away from them. However, if they are His sheep and you present the Word for their hour, they will receive It.
Soon earthquakes will sink Los Angeles beneath the sea and divide the mount of Olives. Then the latter rain will fall upon all flesh, "the wicked will do wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand; but the wise shall understand" (Daniel 12:10). Why so? Because the latter rain is the harvest rain causing every plant to manifest in the nature and quality of its fruit the true life of the seed that was planted. At this time grace and mercy will have expired:
Revelation 12:10, "And I [....your name here....] heard an authoritative Voice in heaven saying, Now the salvation, and the power, and the reign of our God has come, and the sovereign authority of His Christ will be exercised through His Wife under preeminence to her Husband by the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God, for the Accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night is cast down".
Satan will become truly incarnate in the pope of Rome who will head up the World Council of Churches (as he was quoted as saying in our previous Newsletter). And by his gold (remember Judas held the bag) he will control the whole world, and that antichrist system will own everything and try to control everybody. But after the Tribulation, Jesus will destroy them all by the brightness of His Coming, and their end will be the lake of Fire (II Thessalonians 2:8; Revelation 19:20; 20:10).
Revelation 3:10, "I will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."
Brother Branham said, "This temptation is exactly like the temptation in Eden. It will be a very inviting proposition held up in direct opposition to God's commanded Word, and yet from the standpoint of human reasoning it will be so very right, so enlightening and life-giving as to fool the world (Revelation 13:4, 8 - Ed). Only the very elect will not be fooled.
The temptation will come as follows. The ecumenical move that has started on what seems such a beautiful and blessed principle (fulfilling Christ's prayer that we all might be one) becomes so strong politically that she bears pressure upon the government to cause all to join with her either directly or through adherence to principles enacted into law so that no people will be recognized as actual churches unless under direct or indirect domination of this council. Little groups will lose charters, privileges, etc., until they lose all property and spiritual rights with the people.
For example, right now unless the local ministerial association approves in many, if not most cities, one cannot rent a building for religious services. To become chaplains in the armed services, hospitals, etc., it is now almost mandatory to be recognized as acceptable to the trinitarian ecumenical groups. As this pressure increases, and it will, it will be harder to resist, for to resist is to lose privilege. And so many will be tempted to go along, for they will feel it is better to serve God publicly in the framework of this organization than not to serve God at all publicly. But they err. To believe the devil's lie is to serve Satan, even though you may want to call him Jehovah. But the elect will not be deceived.
Furthermore, the elect will not only be kept, but as this move becomes the "image erected to the beast," the saints will be gone in the rapture. And this little delightful, winsome movement that started out in fellowship at Ephesus will become the monster of Satan that defiles and deceives the whole world. For the church system of the Roman Catholic and the Protestant in coming together will control the whole wealth of the world system and force the whole earth into its religious trap, or will kill them, by refusing them the privilege of buying and selling whereby they would make a living. This will be accomplished simply, for the harlot's daughters are all but gone back to her. In the meantime, Rome has acquired nearly all the supplies of gold. The Jews have the bonds and all the paper. At the right time, the harlot will destroy the present day money system by calling in all the paper, and demanding gold. With no gold, the system falls. The Jews will be trapped and come into the alliance, and the harlot church will take over the whole world" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 313:2-314:1; Revelation 13:11-18).
This will be the fulfilment of the sixth of seven consecutive the Lord showed His Prophet in 1933. Rome will rule the world as the Lord revealed to Daniel and Jesus Messiah, and as it was in the days of Lot, Sodom and its Sodomites will burn as the Lord showed Brother Branham in the last of seven consecutive visions wherein he heard a terrible explosion, and as he turned to look he saw nothing but debris, craters and smoke all over the land of America.
Years before that time, the resurrection of the Church Age saints will begin; Christ's end-time Bride will become a hunted and persecuted little group exercising the 'third pull' before we change in the atoms to meet our promised Son in the air as God changed Abraham and Sarah in the atoms in order that they could receive their promised son. nl534.htm
