Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; we are pleased you could join us in fellowship. Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony Grigor-Scott
Jesus said, "A man went out to work, and another was employed an hour later, with additional laborers hired throughout the day. When day was done, the master paid the eleventh hour worker the same as each of the others. So the last shall be first, and the first last: many are called but few are chosen." And God's "chosen people" all receive equal eternal Life. As we review Church history we learn how the martyrs laboured and surrendered their lives for the faith, followed by the reformers who prayerfully laboured to understand the Scripture. The ministry of the seventh angel "restored the Word spoken by the mouth of all God's holy prophets since the world began" and "finished the mystery of God." We live in the days when Christ is calling His Bride out from the PART-Word revelations of these earlier workers into the unity of the faith (Matthew 25:6; Acts 3:19-21; I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 18:4). This is the day of the restoration of "the exceeding greatness of His power" in the "third Pull" for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation (The Seal of God, p. 37:275). We do not "labour" to work-out the meaning of Scripture but rest in the THUS SAITH THE LORD of God's Prophet in this holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal feast.
Our main article examines how God is gathering His end-time Bride into the unity of the faith prior to the resurrection of the Church Age saints, while Satan is gathering the world to Armageddon. This is confirmed in a report from our correspondent Barry Chamish, and selected items of current news.
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.
US Globalized Torture Black Sites
October 9, 2013 — On October 5, US Delta Force commandos, CIA operatives, and FBI agents abducted Abu Anas al-Liby . . . one of many CIA-recruited Mujahideen fighters. They were used against Afghanistan's Soviet occupiers. Pres. Ronald Reagan called them "the moral equivalent of our founding fathers." He characterized Contra killers the same way.
America is by far the world's leading human rights abuser. No nation in history matches its ruthlessness. It's out-of-control. It's unaccountable. It's waging war on humanity. It's doing it globally . . . America "may have used as many as 17 ships as floating prisons. About 26,000 people are being (lawlessly) held by the US in secret prisons—a figure that includes land-based detention centers. (I)nformation suggests up to 80,000 have been 'through the system' since 2001." So have thousands more under Obama. Former Pentagon spokesman Navy Commander Jeffrey Gordon lied earlier, saying: "We do not operate detention facilities on board Navy ships." They're in "Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay." They're in at least 54 complicit countries. . .

Martial Law & the Economy: DHS preparing for the next Wall $t. Collapse?
October 7, 2013 — Reports are that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is engaged in a massive, covert military buildup. An article in the Associated Press in February confirmed an open purchase order by DHS for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. According to an op-ed in Forbes, that's enough to sustain an Iraq-sized war for over twenty years. DHS has also acquired heavily armored tanks, which have been seen roaming the streets. Evidently somebody in government is expecting some serious civil unrest. The question is, why? . . .
When depositors cannot access their bank accounts to get money for food for the kids, they could well start breaking store windows and helping themselves. Worse, they might plot to overthrow the financier-controlled government. Witness Greece . . . Fear of that result could explain the massive, government-authorized spying on American citizens, the domestic use of drones, and the elimination of due process and of "posse comitatus" (the federal law prohibiting the military from enforcing "law and order" on non-federal property). Constitutional protections are being thrown out the window in favor of protecting the elite class in power . . .
Bail-ins and martial law can be seen as the last desperate thrashings of a dinosaur. The exploitative financial scheme responsible for turning millions out of their jobs and their homes has reached the end of the line. Crisis in the current scheme means opportunity for those more sustainable solutions waiting in the wings. . .
Preparations for martial law have been reported for decades, and it hasn't happened yet. Hopefully, we can sidestep that danger by moving into a saner, more sustainable system that makes military action against American citizens unnecessary. Full story: globalresearch.ca

Saudi Arabia Group behind Chemical Weapons Provocation in Syria
October 05, 2013 — Russia has evidence proving it. . . Prince Bandar bin Sultan's directly involved. He's Washington's point man against Syria. He's advancing the kingdom's top goal. It wants Assad, Iran's government and Hezbollah toppled. Doing it involves arming and funding some of the most extremist elements. They're cutthroat killers. They're committing outrageous atrocities. . .
Russian diplomatic sources: "Having analyzed this information, which was received from a whole range of sources, we are getting a picture that confirms that the criminal provocation in Eastern Ghouta was committed by a specialized group that was sent by Saudi Arabia from the territory of Jordan and acted under the cover of the Liva al-Islam group". . .

US-Japan Talks escalate War Preparations against China
October 05, 2013 — The so-called "2 plus 2" meeting in Tokyo this week of US Secretary of State John Kerry and Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel with their Japanese counterparts marked a significant escalation of the US military build-up against China. The lengthy joint statement announced major deployments of hi-tech US weaponry to Japan and a green light for Japanese remilitarisation, within the framework of "a more robust alliance."
Thursday's talks took place in the wake of the Obama administration's decision to postpone an imminent military attack on Syria last month in the face of mass popular opposition, both in the United States and around the world. The "2 plus 2" meetings make clear that despite the postponement of war with Syria, Washington's plans for military escalation are proceeding apace. . . the US is proceeding with its military build-up in Asia that includes stationing 60 percent of American naval and air force assets in the region by 2020. The American deployments announced in the joint statement are all directed at strengthening US-Japanese military against China. . . While nominally directed against North Korea's primitive nuclear capabilities, these weapons are part of the Pentagon's preparations for nuclear war against China and Russia. . .

US Cyber Command's Plan X: Pentagon Launching Covert Cyber Attacks
October 3, 3013 — US and Israeli code warriors . . . unleashed a destructive digital worm, Stuxnet. In the largest and most sophisticated attack to date, more than 1,000 centrifuges were sent spinning out of control, "no more useful" to Iranian physicists "than hunks of metal and plastic" . . .
Today, that destructive capability exists under the umbrella of US Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM), one which has the potential of holding the world hostage . . . National Cyber Range (NCR), a top secret facility that designs and tests attack tools for the government . . . will potentially serve as a new and improved means to bring America's rivals to their knees. Imagine the capacity for death and destruction implicit in a tool that can . . . cause an adversary's chemical plant to suddenly release methyl isocynate (the Bhopal effect) on a sleeping city, or a nuclear power plant to go supercritical, releasing tens of billions of curies of radioactive death into the atmosphere?" . . .
It should be clear, given what we have learned from Edward Snowden and other sources, that the US government views the internet, indeed the entire planet, as a battlespace.
In congressional testimony earlier this year, General Alexander told the House Armed Services Committee that "Cyber offense requires a deep, persistent and pervasive presence on adversary networks in order to precisely deliver effects.
We maintain that access, gain deep understanding of the adversary, and develop offensive capabilities through the advanced skills and tradecraft of our analysts, operators and developers." With US Cyber Command fully funded and mobilized, those "offensive capabilities" are only a mouse click away. Full story: globalresearch.ca
Comment: The image of the beast has gone viral, led by a "pale horse rider whose name is Death and Hell followed with him" (Revelation 6:8). Here is the trailer of a film documenting a 60s episode of the image of the beast when Rockefeller and the CIA slaughtered a million in Indonesia. And here is DARPA's latest robot, the WildCat.
Halter Skalter
By Barry Chamish
October 11, 2013 — A group of French imams attended a general audience with Pope Francis on Wednesday, saying they saw the Catholic leader as a figure of reconciliation. "We feel something strong with this pope. We the minorities need him," Hassen Chalghoumi, a Tunisian imam in Drancy, a suburb of Paris, told AFP. "Moderates should be supported. We should not be grouped with extremists who burn churches," he said.
The visit was organised by Marek Halter, a French writer of Polish Jewish origin, who briefly met with the pope during the audience in St. Peter's Square. "We have a problem to resolve ourselves. Christians had this in the Middle Ages. Political Islam is winning the upper hand," Ben Ammar said. Halter said that Francis "can do what Benedict XVI never managed to do: reconcile Christianity and Islam".
In March 1994, the newspaper Chadashot revealed a most remarkable secret of the Middle East "peace" process. A friend of Shimon Peres, the French intellectual Marek Halter, claimed in an interview that in May 1993, he delivered a letter from Peres to the pope. Within, Peres promised to internationalize Jerusalem, granting the UN political control of the Old City of Jerusalem, and the Vatican hegemony of the holy sites within. The UN would give the PLO a capital within its new territory and East Jerusalem would become a kind of free trade zone of world diplomacy.
Halter's claim was backed by the Italian newspaper La Stampa which added that Arafat was apprised of the agreement and it was included in the secret clauses of the Declaration of Principles signed in Washington in September 1993.
In March 1995, the Israeli radio station Arutz Sheva was leaked a cable from the Israeli Embassy in Rome to Peres' Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem confirming the handover of Jerusalem to the Vatican. This cable was printed on the front page of the radical leftwing Israeli newspaper, Haaretz two days later. A scandal erupted and . . . Peres reacted by claiming that the cable was real but that someone had whited out the word, "not;" the cable really said that Israel would "not" hand Jerusalem over to the holy pontiff. . . Peres' partner in crime, and the real founder of the Oslo Accord, Yossi Beilin, coordinated his PLO policy with the Vatican. Check the timing; at the same moment that he was finagling an accord with the PLO, he was negotiating an agreement for Vatican recognition of Israel.
This eventually led to the Covenant between the Pope and PLO Leader Yasser Arafat on 15th February, 2000 at the Vatican . . .
In September, 1993 at Kennebunkport, MA, outgoing American President George Bush, ordered incoming Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin to begin negotiations to bring the PLO to Israel in the name of "peace," knowing it would instead usher in an era of terrorism. Rabin despised his Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, so assigned the "diplomatic" task to Deputy Foreign Minister Yossi Beilin behind Peres' back. . . Knowing this Oslo peace was the only game in town, he sent Marek Halter to the pope with a letter offering Jerusalem as a prize for insinuating the Vatican in the "peace process."
In November of '93, the Oslo accord was signed, adjudicated by Beilin. Two weeks later, in December of '93, the Vatican Accord recognizing Israel, adjudicated by Beilin, was signed. Oslo and Vatican were the one and the same "peace accords . . ." Peres has offered the Vatican hegemony over 41 sites in Israel, 23 of which are in Jerusalem. And after all these interminable years, Marek Halter is back plotting with the pope . . . because Peres asked him to.
Comment: Barry ignores the fact Jewry signed UN Resolution 181 on November 29, 1947 agreeing to Palestinian Statehood and international control of Jerusalem. And Judaism is Babylonian Pharisaism impersonating Yahwism; Babylonian Catholicism is temple worship impersonating Christianity, and from the Koran we see that Islam is Catholicized Talmudic Judaism, while all three worship the Babylonian trinity of gods and know it not.
Gathering to Armageddon – Part I
Babylon was the seat of the most ancient civilization on this side of the Flood, the mother of false religion and head of four heathen world empires—Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Imperial and Papal Rome—that encompass the times of Gentile dominion over Israel and the people of Christ, from Nebuchadnezzar's victory over Judah to the consummation of life. The Old and New Testaments agree: modern day Israel is ruled by "aliens from the commonwealth of Israel who are strangers from the covenants of promise" (Ephesians 2:12; Daniel 9:27; Luke 21:24), whose Pharisee religion now called Judaism is grounded on the Babylonian Talmud which negates the Tanakh (Matthew 15:9). Hence "for fear of these [non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled] Jews" genuine Israelites continue to live in the ancient lands of their exile. This Babylonian influence also holds dominion over Christendom (so-called), by means of commercial law otherwise known as the Universal Commercial Code (UCC), and the British Accreditation Registry (BAR) of Rothschild and the Vatican grounded on the ancient Babylonian slave-trading codes, so that what most call Christianity is inevitably the polytheistic trinitarian religion of ancient Babylon.
The evil and misery prophesied in Daniel's dream and his visions of "the times of the Gentiles," particularly the dreadful fate imposed on the four beast kingdoms and the prospect of extreme tribulation ahead for those following the narrow way and entering via the strait gate that leads to eternal Life and the glories of Israel's restored kingdom, plunged him into severe depression (Daniel 7:13-16). Caught up in the Spirit and anxious to know the true interpretation Daniel asked one standing by the Lord to reveal THUS SAITH THE LORD. This one had to have been Brother Branham as he is the only man to whom the Lord revealed these mysteries which Daniel and John were commanded to "seal until the time of the end" (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 1:1; 10:4, 7). Here is what he told Daniel:
Daniel 7:17-22, "These four great beasts are four kings, who shall arise out of the earth; but the saints of the most High shall receive and possess the Kingdom forever, even forever and ever."
Revelation 11:14-19, "The Second Woe is past; and the Third Woe is speedily approaching [in Armageddon]. The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever. Then the twenty-four elders seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces, and worshipped God, saying, We give You thanks, Lord God Almighty, who is and was, because You have assumed Your great power, and begun to reign" (Daniel 12:1). The blast of the Seventh Trumpet will break the "silence in heaven about the space of half an hour" (Revelation 8:1).
"The nations were angry at You but Your wrath has come and the time for judging the dead, to reward Your servants the prophets and saints, and those who fear Your Name, both small and great; and for the destruction of those who are destroying the earth. Then the temple of God in heaven was opened [signifying His renewed favour toward Israel], and the Ark of His Covenant [Jesus Christ] was seen in the Holy of Holies [for the curtain was done away at Calvary (Matthew 27:50-51)]: and there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, and an earthquake, and a terrible hailstorm."
Satan will be cast down to earth to incarnate Rome's Pope (Revelation 12:7-10; 17:11) as earthquakes sink Los Angeles beneath the Pacific then split the Mount of Olives in twain (Revelation 18:21-24; Zechariah 14:4). This will be the cue for the invasion of Palestine and subsequently the United States. Thereafter Satan, incarnate in the Pope and supported by a federation of religions, will restore world peace and be acclaimed president of one totalitarian world government. "And the world will [vicariously] worship the Dragon [Satan] for giving his authority to the beast [of Papal Rome]: and will worship the beast, saying, Is there anyone as great as he? Who is able to war against him? . . . And all who dwell upon the earth whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world will pay him homage" (Revelation 13:4, 8).
Brother Branham continues to expound Daniel's vision (7:23-28): "The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which will be more brutal than any of its predecessors; and devour the whole earth, destroying everything before it, trampling it down, and breaking it in pieces. Bestowing great honour on those who submit to him, appointing them rulers over many, and dividing the land to them as reward" (Joel 3:2; Daniel 11:39; Zechariah 14:2; Revelation 16:18; UN Resolution 181). This has been the modus operandi of each of the four world empires and has been United Nations policy since World War II beginning in Eastern Europe (according to the Yalta negotiations), Palestine and the Middle East, India, China and Africa. NWO policy is also to divide up the nations as we see in Ezekiel 38-39 and Daniel 11:39-45, current and planned UN/NATO wars of conquest.
"The ten horns that will arise out of this empire are ten kingdoms, then another kingdom [trinitarian Papal Rome] will rise after them, more brutal than the former kings, and he shall put down three of them [the Arian Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Heruli]. He shall defy the Most High, and wear down the saints with persecution; he shall plan to change the sacred seasons and the Law, and the tribulation saints shall be given over to him for three and a half years (Revelation 12:14; 13:1-10). But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion will be taken away to be consumed and destroyed for all time (Revelation 18:7-20; 19:19-21). And the Kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; their kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey the Lord."
Having the last word, Daniel says, "This was the end of the dream and my visions. As for me, my thoughts alarmed me greatly, and my face was pale, but I kept the matter in my heart".
The Euphrates river was Israel's border in the North; it was also the boundary of the Roman empire and the demarcation between the civilized world and the barbarous, savage and godless world of the nations of the East beyond the Euphrates (Revelation 9:19; 16:12). The drying up of the Euphrates, signifies that the barrier between Christendom and the rudest and roughest life of heathendom is done away socially and spiritually, as well as in a terrestrial sense in consequence of the mental confusion and distraction caused by nominal Christianity spoiled by the false over-refinement of humanism and the foolish myth that "all men are created equal," when most men are not written in the Book of Life since they are hybrids descended from Cain and not a part of God's creation.
Demolition of the buffer state of Babylon is complete. Over the last century the City of London's megalomaniac administrations in Britain and the US have prepared the way for the attack of the Eastern kingdoms against the rest of the world with whom God has set them at enmity, and the whole world is against God and His people: 144,000 elect Israelites who will be martyred in Israel, and the Gentile remnant who will be martyred worldwide.
Jesus prophesied that between the Sixth and Seventh Vials in the days of the fourth Gentile world empire, three unclean spirits like frogs would look backward as these unclean creatures do, to the 'glorious' past following the First Nicaea Council when church and state were united. For these "three unclean spirits [called Fascism, Nazism and Communism] that came out of the mouth of the Dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet are demonic spirits which have gone forth to the kingdoms of the earth and of the whole world working miracles to gather the world to Armageddon" (Revelation 16:13-16). Meanwhile "Christ the Word has come as a thief" through the revelation of the Seven Seals "to gather together all of the saints which are in heaven and which are on earth in Him" (Matthew 25:6; I Corinthians 13:10; Ephesians 1:10; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 10:1-7).
One such "miracle" was the atomic bombing of Japan (Revelation 13:13; another will be uniting the Protestant churches into an image of the Roman beast though the World Council of Churches following the 'hot stage' of a brief World War III (Revelation 13:14), and a third will be forcing "the mark of the beast" which is trinitarianism upon men of all religions or none, so that "worldwide, all whose names were not written in the Lamb's Book of Life from the foundation of the world will worship the Devil-incarnate Pope" (Revelation 13:8; 15-18).
Brother Branham said these three isms will be subsumed into Communism and execute God's judgment upon Judaeo-Roman Catholicism and all who serve or take her mark (Revelation 13:15-18; 14:9-11; 18:1-4; 19:19-21). Jesus promised His second or 'parousia' Coming "as a thief" would take place towards the end of this period, when East and West—the natural seed of the Serpent with the natural seed of the first Adam—are trying to reach accommodation through the Council on Foreign Relations' UN "as it was in the days of Noah" (Matthew 24:37; Genesis 6:1-13). Meanwhile, Rome and her (once) Protestant daughters are also seeking reconciliation—the spiritual seed of the Serpent with the non-elect seed of the last Adam (Daniel 2:40-45) as discussed above. Like the self-styled Khazar Jews, Rome's purpose is not truly spiritual, it is political, so their alliance with "the seed of men" (Daniel 2:43; 9:27) for the second crucifixion of the Word is political as it was for the first crucifixion (Zechariah 11:3-17; Matthew 27:11-31; John 11:47-52). Brother Branham called this the sign of the uniting time wherein the antichrist church world is uniting with the so-called Jews against the Word.
The dominant instinct of Satan is his contempt of man (Job 2:4-5); the key characteristic of the Beast is the deification of man (Revelation 13:11-12); the dominant behaviour of the False Prophet, like the Illuminati's Rhodes' Scholars and Masonic organizations, is a compound of the preceding two elements: the bigoted manipulation of man for sinister purpose without his knowledge (II Thessalonians 2). By taking moral possession of those without the Seal of God, these demons set on foot the great revolt and alliances for that battle of the great day of God Almighty, who will triumph by the sword of the Spirit, which will be His 'third pull' (Revelation 19:15, 19).
As Christ's 'parousia' came to us Gentiles it will go to Israel "as a thief in the night." And although they have learned "what the tapes say," many within the circle of this Message having abandoned themselves to spiritual carelessness know not what they mean, and will be found "wretched and miserable, poor, and blind, and naked" as one who sleeps undressed when he is cast out in the middle of the night. However "the Day of the Lord will not overtake Christ's Bride as a thief" as it will overtake the Israelites.
II Peter 3:10-12, "The Day of the Lord will come unexpectedly as a thief in the night. With a terrible noise the heavens will pass away: the elements shall separate causing [the oceans to] explode with fervent heat, incinerating earth and all of man's works. Since all these things are to be dissolved in this manner, what consecrated and godly lives we should be living, looking for and earnestly desiring the 'parousia' coming of the Day of God by reason of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat".
Brother Branham read God's indictment of Rome, the world religious system and the world itself when he revealed the mystery of the voices of the Seven Thunders: "Jerusalem was ceasing. When? It was in effect until that hour; the blood of the lamb was all right until that day. But now, at the crucifixion it changes. The old system is done. There was a new one . . . the sacrificial Lamb, was on the grounds. They were condemning and doing the very thing there that they had to do. That's right."
"God be blessed for seeing this wonderful, heavenly Light in this last day, because the churches is doing the same thing today. Until the hour that organization religion is condemned and proved to be sacrificing Christ's Word, from then on comes the Word and the Word only . . . The old paschal lamb passed away, and Christ became our Lamb at the day of the crucifixion. And the day that the denomination crucified the Word of God and accepted a creed in the stead of the Word, that's the day the Word come into full effect. That's just been recently . . ."
"And these people [ministers] keep the congregation away from God. And if there's anything happens, and it's spoke of in the congregation, they condemn it from the pulpit, and say, "Its fanaticism; stay away from it." In doing so, they crucified Jesus Christ in 1963, and are just as guilty as those guys at that day [on Calvary]. That's an awful statement, but it's the truth (I Corinthians 13:10; Hebrews 6:4-8; The Indictment, p. 17:110-111, 118).
The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form, so when the denominations rejected the revelation they "crucified the Son of God afresh to themselves and put Him to an open shame" (Hebrews 6:6).
Revelation 17:1, 15, "Then [William Branham], one of the seven angels who had the Seven Vials came and talked with . . . (insert your name here because Christ revealed the mystery only to the angel to the Seventh Church Age and he has revealed it only for Christ's end-time Bride) . . . saying, I will show you the judgment of the great whore who is enthroned over many waters . . . which are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." The last phase of the fourth pagan world empire will be Rome led by Satan incarnate in the pope ruling a totalitarian one world government.
Since Vatican II the Charismatic Movement has gathered sincerely misguided people from all denominations contrary to God's unchanging Word which states emphatically: "Two cannot walk together unless they are agreed in the faith" (Amos 3:3). The Protestants, formerly referred to as "heretics," are now called "separated brethren." This devilish deception becomes apparent when it is realized that Vatican II did not repeal a single papal bull or anathema issued against Christians by past Popes or Vatican councils. Vatican II reaffirmed the canons and decrees of the Second Council of Nicaea (iconoclasm), and the Council of Trent which alone accounted for over 100 anathemas against Christian belief. Christians are still under countless curses of the Judaeo-Roman Catholic Church, and "The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith," or the "Holy Office," formerly the "Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition" that conducted the inquisitions is still in operation. Rome's motto Semper Eadem means "always the same" and her dogma that there is no salvation outside the Roman Catholic Church stands unchanged.
"Here is some illumination. If Satan is behind the Jews who are hailing the Christians into court, then the Jews are not of God's religion but the Devil's. Their gathering is also of the synagogue of Satan. And if the Roman Catholic Church killed the multitudes of believers in the Dark Ages, yes and in all ages, then they are of the Devil and belong to Satan, also."
"And if you think this shocking, just wait until the prophecy of Revelation 13 is fulfilled. It is strikingly true that the United States of America is in that chapter. The very number thirteen is a symbol of this nation. It started with thirteen colonies. Its flag has thirteen stars and thirteen stripes. And there is her destiny in the thirteenth chapter. In this image that is mentioned in this chapter will be found all the wickedness of the beast that was before it; as the beast rose at the Nicene Council, so the image will come out of the World Council of Churches with all ungodly and Satanic power to vent the anger of the Devil upon the true vine of God. It will be a repeat performance of all diabolical cunning and cruelty" (William Branham, An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, 131:2-3).
God's simple ways are perfect and they never change (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8). His way is to inspire and send one man with the revelation of His Word (Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11; Revelation 10:7). Amos 3:6-7, "Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be judgment for evil, and the Lord has not sent it? Surely the Lord God will do nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets".
"Perhaps the one individual most instrumental in softening the attitudes of many Catholic prelates towards Pentecostalism was the late David duPlessis, who was acquainted with many priests and prelates, since he served on a commission for dialogue between Catholics and Pentecostals; he was also a lay observer at the Second Vatican Council. He related that while he was present in St. Peter's Basilica during a session of the Council, he was asked by a certain Cardinal how it felt to be in the presence of so many Bishops and Cardinals of the Church; Mr. duPlessis replied that he felt "like Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones." It was in the wake of such a spirit of cooperation and openness facilitated by duPlessis and his like minded clerical admirers that the 'official commencement' of the 'Catholic Charismatic Renewal' took place [in 1967] during the now famous 'Duquesne weekend' among a group of students attached to Duqesne University" (Brian Hughes, History of the Charismatic movement).
Brother Branham said, "The Council of churches [Vatican II] . . . that's meeting in Rome . . . David duPlessis, when I set there and cried to him about it in Fourteen Mile Creek not long ago, not realizing he swung the church right into Babylon. . . everybody saying, "Oh, all the churches are going to be one now" . . . don't you realize that's Satan uniting together? The Bible says that. And just after a bit, just a little while [three and a half years], as soon as they become one, then the interdenominational is finished. See? There'll be your mark of the beast rise. See? . . . There'll be a ministry that'll show great wonders (Joel [2:30-32] said so), but there'll be no time for redemption. It's all over. The Lamb's done took His Book, and redeemed is over. As Jesus first preached and was rejected and then went and haunted those that were in there, preached to them that were in prison and could not repent, no time for salvation, that same ministry will have to repeat again. What if that could be the Third Pull to the eternal lost" (Revelation 5:7-8; I Peter 3:17-20)?
"Brother duPlessis . . . set . . . in the Ecumenical Council [Vatican II] by the side of the Pope and said it was very spiritual. That's discernment of spirit, isn't it? "Oh, the Spirit of the Lord was there." Very spiritual . . . Protestants by the millions fall for it. Why? That's what they're looking for. They're blind" (Souls in Prison now, p. 32-35; Revelation 3:17-20). And:
"Looks to me like that Brother duPlessis . . . would know enough about the Scripture that when he sees the sleeping virgin trying to buy oil, the time is passed. See? Remember, when she came to buy oil, there was no oil left. That's the Scripture. And she said, "Give us of your oil," to the Church, but she did not receive it. She might jump up and down, speak in tongues, and whatevermore, but according to God's own Word, she did not receive it. See? And she was out into outer darkness, and there was weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, when the elected Bride had done gone in; the wise Virgins had oil in their lamp" (He that is in You, p. 2:8; Matthew 25:1-13, 30).
The Charismatic movement is an impersonation of the Laodicean Church Age, also called Pentecost; it was presumed to be the restoration of the faith promised by Malachi 4:5-6 and Matthew 17:11, but the restoration could not take place until Christ opened and revealed the Seven Seals through His Prophet. Besides, Laodicea was over when the Seals were opened, so the charismatic people are speaking with tongues and exercising gifts of the Spirit without the Spirit. The tares have their revival first; Vatican II is gathering the tares into the Charismatic movement (Matthew 13:30, 41). They are being bound ready for the burning in ecumenism and man-made unions like the Judaeo-Communist National Council of Churches which was born in 1908 as the Federal Council of Churches (FCC) out of the Marxist-controlled Methodist Federation for Social Service founded in 1907 by "the Reverend" Harry Ward, "the most ardent pro-Bolshevik cleric in this country" (Committee on Un-American Activities Investigation of Communist Activities in the New York City Area, part 7, p. 2170). In 1950 the FCC changed its name to the National Council of Churches (NCC) which in 1948 gave birth to the [Rockefellers'] illegitimate World Council of Churches (WCC) which will become the image to the Roman Beast, killing those who refuse to serve the Fourth Reich of the Holy Roman Empire (NWO) or receive her dogma (Revelation 13:11-15).
Brother Branham said, "Now . . . recall the vision of Daniel. The last part of the image, the last world power was in the feet. That was iron and clay. The iron is the Roman Empire. But now it is no longer solid iron. Clay is mixed in it. Yet it is there and running world affairs in both the democratic nations and the more despotic ones. The Romish church is in every nation. It is mixed up in it all."
Revelation 16:16, "The demonic spirits like frogs gather the kingdoms of the earth and of the whole world together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon" which means "cutting off" or "slaughter." This consummate judgment will follow under the manifestation of the Sixth Seal after the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet and the pouring out of the Seventh Vial. The Seventh Trumpet will call the resurrection of the Church Age saints and the manifestation of the Sons of God in "we who are alive and remain" prior to our glorification and translation to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the Sky. It will be an alarm calling Israel to gather for the revelation of their Feast of Trumpets, the final battle of the Roman wars and their atonement (Daniel 9:26; Revelation 14:1-5; 15:2-4; Zechariah 12:1 – 14:8). The Seventh Vial is poured out upon nominal Christians to distinguish and separate the false church from the foolish virgin. Communist Russia will blast Vatican City State and her United States image from the face of the earth, the pope will be cast into the Lake of Fire, and the remnant slain by the Sword of God's Word (Revelation 17:1 – 18:20; 19:20-21).
The God's wrath is completed in the seven last plagues of the Vials in the ordeal of jealousy imposed upon the non-elect professed Christians from Pentecost to the consummation. And when the seventh angel pours out his Vial into the air; a great Voice from the throne in the Holy of Holies will say, "It is done (Revelation 15:1). [The Seventh Vial will consummate the wrath of My jealousy]. And there will be flashes of lightning, and voices, and peals of thunder; and a great earthquake of a magnitude unprecedented in human existence" (Revelation 16:17-18).
The Book of Revelation must not be read like a newspaper for it is not recorded in chronological order and the record in interspersed with parentheses that describe what takes place under of this cycle. A Seal opens a mystery and the Gospel Trumpet declares a spiritual war for the Church which becomes a Trumpet judgment of natural war upon willfully blind Israelites for rejecting the mystery, and the temporary judgment of a Vial that pours a plague upon non-elect professed Christians who have been unfaithful to their espoused husband, the Word for their day, or failed to fully become one with its Message. Succeeding generations denominate and die spiritually; then God sends another messenger revealing further Light and a new Church Age begins. This sequence has repeated throughout the Gentile dispensation or antitype of Israel's Pentecostal Feast (Leviticus 23:15-21). All seven Church Ages are over: we live at the end of time in the holy convocation of the fiftieth day of the feast, the end of the cycle when the saints will be rewarded and sin recompensed.
We live under the Fourth and Seventh Seals while Israelites live under the Fifth Seal. The Fourth and Fifth Seals close and the Gentile dispensation ends as the Sixth Seal of Revelation 6:12-17 opens with "a massive earthquake" unprecedented in magnitude initiating "the great day of God's wrath." Revelation 7 is a parenthesis describing the Spiritual redemption or new birth of the 144,000 elect Israelites which will be accomplished under the tribulation of the Sixth Seal. This is followed by our realization of the unity of the Body in the first resurrection when Christ's end-time Bride, signified by John, gathers with our Church Age brethren redeemed out of the tribulation of the past 2,000 years (1:9; Matthew 24:21-28) for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in the sky (verses 9-17; 20:4; 21:1-4; I Thessalonians 4:17).
Under the Sixth Trumpet judgment upon Israel as it is placed in the Book (Revelation 9:12-21), we encounter a parenthesis from Revelation 10 – 11 describing Christ's secret second or 'parousia' Coming to His end-time Bride after He pronounces judgment on Rome, the beast from the sea, and on the United States, the beast from the earth in Revelation 13. This terminal judgment which has been restrained from the Armistice of World War I (Revelation 7:1-3) is now being hastened the service of US Presidents George I, Clinton, George II, and Obama administrations to their alien masters of 'the City of London' but will be withheld until after the elect 144,000 Israelites are born-again. Thereafter Vatican City State and the United States of America will be blasted from the face of the Earth and Armageddon will set in (Revelation 18).
The parenthesis of Revelation 11:1-13 provides us with a preview of Christ's 'parousia' Coming to Israel in the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week. Their prophets will unveil the mystery of the Seven Trumpet Judgments on Israel since Calvary, and as the antitype of the Old Testament feast of Trumpets (Leviticus 23:23-25), call 144,000 elect Israelites to their Day of true Atonement by revelation wherein they will be born-again as the nation in one day (Isaiah 66:8).
As Moses called plagues that smote all Egypt yet spared Goshen and Elijah shut the heavens for three years, their 'third pull' will produce the antitype of these wonders and slay any with malicious intent. When their ministry is fulfilled they will be martyred in Jerusalem "where their Lord also was slain." Jesus said, "All the righteous blood shed upon earth shall come upon the Edomite Jews and Jerusalem" (Matthew 23:35-38). For three and a half days their bodies shall lie unburied in the street where they were slain, derided by apostates in Jerusalem and around the world who rejoice and exchange gifts. After the three and a half days they shall "stand on their feet" and visibly ascend on a Cloud of the Shekinah in response to a Voice from heaven (Matthew 24:14). This is an allusion to Ezekiel 37:10 and Hosea 6:2 and the new birth of Israel: "At that very hour a great earthquake collapsed a tenth part of the city and killed seven thousand. The remnant was terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven" (Revelation 11:13; 12:15-17).
After this parenthesis of Revelation 11:1-13 the Seventh Trumpet (11:14-19) manifests coincidentally with the Sixth Seal (6:12-17), and a new parenthesis commences from Revelation 12:1 – 14:20, providing Christ's end-time Bride an overview of God's dealings with those who will be purged and martyred under the great tribulation under the Seventh Trumpet.
Revelation 15:1 announces the Judgments of the Seven Vials that have been poured out at the end of each Church Age to distinguish the false church from the foolish virgin and bring condemnation upon the false church. Verses 2-4 are in parenthesis and signify 144,000 elect Israelites who have overcome and been martyred in chapter 14 by their mortal enemy the self-styled Jews, and their Roman Catholic church (Genesis 27:39-41; Revelation 18:24). Between the Sixth and the Seventh Vials a further parenthesis reveals the Scriptural coordinates of the world at this very minute.
World Wars I, II and III were all planned in the nineteenth century as tools of the Judaeo-Roman church, the Black Nobility (or European Royalty and aristocracy with whom the Khazars intermarried centuries ago), and the International Banksters. These parties are noted in Revelation 16:14; 17:12-18 and 18:7-19 and although they work together for world hegemony, each aims for supremacy in its own behalf as do rival factions within each party. The purpose of these wars is to render impotent the bonds of racial, religious, political, material and cultural unity, thereby rendering humanity a disunited, divided mass without roots, resources, hopes or loyalties like the bastard Cain—a 'human resource' interbred with Cain that can be worked and culled as "human cattle" at the whim of their global masters.
These three wars have served to diminish humanity, destroy kingdoms, religions and borders, monopolize global resources and eliminate private ownership of land to return its inhabitants to serfdom under Edomite one world government whose centralized dominion will wield absolute authority over all people and their gods (Genesis 27:40). If we follow the trail of the Serpent from Cain to Naamah, to Canaan, Esau and his children, you will see who holds world dominion today. Imperial power began in Babylon whose legacy is seen in the universal worship of her trinity of gods and our subjection to her laws and legal system; our economies are governed by her system of accountancy, and our finances totter on Babylonian fiat money and fractional reserve usury.
Concurrent with the manifestation of the Sixth Seal and the blast of the Seventh Trumpet, Brother Branham metaphorically pours out the Seventh Vial of God's wrath into the "air" or fourth dimension. I say this is figurative because the curse for disobedience was incorporated in and delivered with his Message (Malachi 4:6; Acts 3:23; Revelation 3:16-17; 4:8; 14:9-12; 22:11, 15, 18-19) and the tribulation is the time for its manifestation. The fourth dimension is the medium wherein we contact the spirit world in dreams, visions, inspiration and revelation. Satan rules the battleground of this dimension which is why Paul says, "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12). Paul says, "Christ made you alive [to His Word] when you were dead through trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience".
But are you really alive to Christ the Word and dead to the world which has the nature of Satan?
When Satan and his demons are cast down to earth as Jesus foresaw in Luke 10:18 and Revelation 12:7-9, uninhibited praise will resound from the twenty-four elders and Old Testament saints already in heaven. The eviction of the Accuser of their brethren (and ours) will be a second cleansing of the heavenly temple, an earnest of the ingathering of the 144,000 Israelites, the salvation of the faithful Hebrews martyrs under the Fifth Seal and "vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" (II Thessalonians 1:8; Revelation 6:10-11). And while Satan falls to earth, the latter rain of the Holy Spirit will fall causing all flesh to manifest its true nature (Revelation 22:11). Christ's end-time Bride will manifest by the 'third pull' that they are the Sons of God and be "caught up together with the Church Age saints in the Shekinah to meet the Lord in the air" (I Thessalonians 4:17; Hebrews 11:5).
Obedience to the Seventh Angel's Message will restore God's elect to the apostolic faith, finish the mystery of God with understanding and introduce the second or 'parousia' Coming of the Logos who is "the Truth and eternal Life." The obedience of faith will unlock grave's power over the Church Age saints and render Christ's end-time Bride immune to death's hand (Revelation 1:18; Ephesians 1:17-23). Non-elect professed Christians imprisoned in Laodicea through disobedience, imperfect faith or ignorance, including those within the circle of this Message, will drink the words of the curse of the Seventh Vial in the Trial of Jealousy and be purged during the tribulation.
Revelation 16:18, "And there were flashes of lightning, and voices, and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake of a magnitude unprecedented in human existence." This will be the sinking of Los Angeles and Hollywood—the Babylon of non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jewry that pollutes all nations with the filthy deceptions of its sorceries—the witchcraft and magic arts of the silver screen. Revelation 18:21-24 and 7:1-3 show us the history of Israel (Jeremiah 25) is repeating in its antitype the United States of America as Brother Branham taught, only in this day the king of the North is not Babylon, but Russia. George II and his successors are causing all nations to turn against the USA and destroy her according to the seventh of seven consecutive visions shown to the Prophet in 1933, and to John between 95 and 96.
The magnitude 9.2 earthquake that struck Alaska on Good Friday March 27, 1964, three days after Brother Branham had spoken it was the second-largest earthquake recorded in modern times, the largest in the written history of North America, and a token of the earthquake of Revelation 18 that will take place one Nisan 14 very soon.
Revelation 16:19-21, "And the great city was divided into three parts." Jerusalem is "the great city" as described in the parenthesis under the Sixth Seal (Revelation 11:8; Zechariah 13:7c – 14:2; Malachi 3:2-7—as in Ezekiel 5).
"And the cities of the Gentiles fell: (doubtless with the crash of the US dollar and the institution of martial law in every nation following the sinking of Los Angeles) and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath." Vatican City State and the Roman Catholic church are indicted (Revelation 17:1 – 18:20; 14:8-11).
"And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found" (Isaiah 29:6; Ezekiel 38:19-29; Daniel 12:1; Zechariah 14:3-5; Revelation 6:14). "And great hailstones, heavy as a hundredweight fell upon men from heaven. And the people blasphemed God for the plague of the hail, because it was so fearful" (Exodus 9:18-25; Psalm 18:12-14; Isaiah 28:14-29; Ezekiel 38:22; Luke 21:25; Revelation 11:19).
"God's Word is forever settled in heaven" (Psalm 119:89; Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8). A woman who has committed fornication and presented herself as a virgin to her husband shall be stoned for playing the harlot (Deuteronomy 22:21; John 8:3-7; Revelation 16:21). The Judaeo-Roman Catholic church is such a woman, as are non-elect confessed Christians who claim to be virgins espoused to Christ the Word when they are in fact denominational harlots.
A type of Jesus Messiah, the Israelite high priest was to take a virgin of his own people to wife so Israel's Messiah cannot marry the harlot church. In the Old Testament the daughter of a priest who played the whore was to be burned (Leviticus 21:9; Revelation 2:21-23; 14:11; 17:16; 18:8, 18; 19:20; 20:10). The Roman Catholic church is such a woman. The Trial of Jealousy will find Rome, her harlot daughters and all unbelieving 'Christians' guilty of adultery, and they will be stoned and burned. "Come out of Babylon and be filled with the Spirit that you do not partake of her sins and receive not of her plagues". nl805.htm

I've never forgotten that experience and that parable of "new wine" that started God's Word opening up to me personally. That always takes me straight over to St. John chapter two where a marriage was being celebrated but the wine had run out. The Master gave His command and water, ordinary water was changed into wine; can we say "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye?" What transforming Presence moved over those molecules of water to change them into wine? A wine that was so good "the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and said to him, every man at the beginning sets forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but You have kept the good wine until now. That wedding was on the third day in Cana." 
The scientific world is anticipating another revolution in science and theoretical physics that will unify all of the laws of mathematics and physics to explain and link all known physical phenomena enabling it to predict the outcome of any experiment conducted according to their hypothesis. Perhaps that computer model would solve mankind's problems. While in the ecclesiastical world of the 60s the heavenly Fire that lit the Azusa Street Revival initiating the Laodicean Church Age was for the most part a smoking ember replaced in many souls by a self-righteous spirit of complacency. Still, more spiritually-minded believers of that day, moved and burdened by the Holy Ghost, were praying in earnest not only for renewal and a spiritual breakthrough but like evangelist F. F. Bosworth, for God to send the "Son of Man Ministry" back to Earth as promised in Matthew 24:23 – 25:30, Luke 17:22 – 18:8, John 5:27 and elsewhere.
The answer would surely come but not as a further treatise on gravity and general relativity, or some encyclical from the Vatican in Rome. No, heaven had something far more profound and enduring, something far more stupendous. What happened would be a "quantum leap" beyond anything science or the "cloth" could dare imagine. The Lord Himself would descend from heaven with a Shout, and with His Holy Spirit anoint a humble man in the person of Brother William Marrion Branham, who like John the Baptist would introduce His Presence to the world. He would be inspired with heavenly wisdom to tie up all the loose ends of doctrine left unfinished by the Reformers and "finish the mystery of God" that had been sealed from the foundation of the world (I Thessalonians 4:16; Daniel 12:4, 9; I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 10:4-7). 
Nothing has been more profound in the two thousand year history of the New Testament Church through which the Holy Spirit had demonstrated signs and wonders and healings from the Day of Pentecost. Yet these gifts that were lost in the Dark Ages of Roman apostasy had already been restored in the Laodicean Church Age and now the Fullness of the Word would be revealed discerning the very thoughts of the heart (Luke 17:28-30; Hebrews 4:12; 13:8). This visitation was not like anything since the days of our Lord, nor was it as many ministers erroneously preach—something that was always in the Church. This was the Messianic sign of the appearing of the Son of Man that preceded and accompanied a strategic and epochal fulfillment of major prophecies. 
This gathering is taking place now but the news media is controlled by the people of the king of these demons (Revelation 9:11) who, if they possessed this revelation would not allow the Sons of God to warn humanity. Now a frog always looks behind himself and these slimy unclean spirits look back to the First Nicaea Council of AD325 where Imperial Rome began to reorganize into a universal religious empire claiming power over heaven, earth and purgatory. Today the United States is speaking and acting like the Dragon of Imperial Rome, for she is the image of the beast. Soon the powers of church and state will unite as they did following the First Nicaea Council, and will once again force the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:3, 11-18).
