Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are pleased you can be with us to fellowship in God's unchanging Word.

Booker T. Washington (1856-1915), born to victims of the Jewish slave trade but emancipated at the age of nine by the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, was largely self-educated yet he became the most prominent black educator of his day and an advisor to Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Taft. A dignified Christian gentleman, Washington was an eminently practical man whose objectives were always positive and for the good.

Addressing the Annual Meeting of the National Educational Association held at Buffalo in 1896 he said in part, "My friends, by reason of ignorance, by reason of our freedom beginning at the top instead of at the bottom, the burden has been too heavy for many to carry; the opportunities have been too great. We have spent time and money in political conventions, making idle political speeches, that could have been better spent in becoming leading real estate dealers and leading carpenters and truck gardeners, and thus have laid an imperial foundation on which we could have stood and demanded our rights."

"In conclusion, my friends, I make no selfish appeal; it is a plea to save yourselves. The negro can better afford to be wronged in this country than the white man can afford to wrong him. We are a patient, humble people; we can afford to work and wait. There is plenty for us to do away up in the atmosphere of patience, forbearance, forgiveness, and goodness. There the workers are not many and the field is not overcrowded. If others will be little, we can be great. If others would be mean, we can be good. If others can push us down, we can help push them up. If ever there has been a people in this world who have observed the Bible injunction, "If thy brother smite thee on one cheek, turn to him the other also." That people has been the American negro."

"To right his wrong the Russian hurls his dynamite, the Frenchman applies the torch as in the French Revolution, the Indian flies to his tomahawk; but the negro must lie by, must be patient, must forgive his enemies, and depend for the righting of his wrong upon his midnight moans, upon his songs, upon his four-day prayers, and upon an inherent faith in the justice of his cause. If we may judge the future by the past, who will dare say that the negro's course is not the better one. Think of it, my friends; we went into slavery a piece of property and we came out American citizens; we went into slavery pagans, we came out Christians; we went into slavery without a language, we came out speaking the proud Anglo-Saxon tongue; we went into slavery with the slave-chains clanging about our wrists, we came out with the American ballot in our hands. Progress is a law of God and progress is going to be the negro's eternal guiding star in this fair land. . ." (history cooperative).

Washington was a man with the Token on display, in humility gratefully acknowledging God's blessings unseen by lesser men blinded by grievances that enslaved their souls. He discerned right from wrong, returned good in place of evil, and was constructive in all of his endeavours which were in selfless behalf of others. By contrast the erstwhile oppressors of his people have meanwhile displayed their "enmity" against God and man (Genesis 3:15) by destroying the United States which like Germany, gave generously of her bounty. Within a decade they will succeed in the consummation of life . . . again . . . this time by atomic fire. Following Washington's inspiration and admonition, we should be busy planting potatoes or whatever our productive responsibilities happen to be.

World Must Double Food Production
May 7, 2008 – "We have gone from three meals a day to two. Then it will be one meal. Then we will die. Why is the world taking corn for fuel? It will mean the death of many people."

This was the blunt statement made by Yoseph Yilak, the head of the Ethiopian grain traders association, to the visiting head of the UN's World Food Program. Questioned as to what should be done about the problem, Yilak shot back: "The best solution long-term is massive production of food."

In the face of this unprecedented global crisis, which the Asian Development Bank estimates puts one billion Asians at risk of starvation, and a further billion people among the poor of Africa, South America and other countries, but for which the UN Food and Agricultural Organisation cannot even raise $10 million for seeds for poor countries. . .

Comment: Massive world depopulation is planned. We have warned of this since at least 1997. You see the International Financiers can reduce world population by the implementation of "policy." Food shortages will cause famine, which will render people susceptible to disease when it is unleashed. When the time comes, already overcrowded hospitals will be unable to cope. Best you keep away from hospitals. Law and order will also break down and rioters will roam the streets. Store nonperishable food now, and do not tell a soul.

Iran rejects Nuclear Inspections unless Israel allows Them
Geneva, May 5, 2008 – An Iranian envoy said Monday his government will not submit to extensive nuclear inspections while Israel stays outside the global treaty to curb the spread of atomic weapons.

"The existing double standard shall not be tolerated anymore by non-nuclear-weapon states," Ambassador Ali Asghar Soltanieh told a meeting of the 190 countries that have signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Nuclear safeguards are far from universal, he said, adding that more than 30 countries are still without a comprehensive safeguard agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency to ensure full cooperation with that UN body. "Israel, with huge nuclear weapons activities, has not concluded" such an agreement or submitted its facilities to the IAEA's safeguards, Soltanieh said. . . Full story: sfgate.com

Comment: A peaceful victim nation like Iran must insist a violent aggressor nation meet the same standard.

Why You are paying $4 for Gasoline
March 12, 2008 – As the dollar dramatically collapsed below $1.55/euro today following the Federal Reserve's announcement of a huge new bank bailout, the "spot price" of a barrel of oil settled at just under $110, up 60% in six months, 25% in six weeks, and accelerating. . . the current gasoline price is heading for $4/gallon; but the Saudis, on long-term supply contracts, get only $3 per barrel for their oil at the wellhead. Americans are paying more per gallon for gasoline at the pump, than the Saudis receive in long-term contracts per 42-gallon barrel of oil at the wellhead. . . "If you want to blame somebody, blame Nixon and George Shultz for destroying Franklin Roosevelt's Bretton Woods system, and giving control of the dollar to the City of London". . .

Pope Affirms Zionist Noahide Laws in NYC!
Jews have found an ally in Pope Benedict XVI. Following in the steps of his predecessor, Pope John Paul II, who officially recognized modern day Jews as the 'Chosen People of God'. . . In his recent visit to America from April 15-20, 2008, Pope Benedict met with representatives of the Jewish community on the eve of the Jewish Passover on April 18 2008 at 5 PM Here and reiterated that they are God's "chosen"—which any thinking Sunday School student would easily refute. . . now Pope Benedict recognizes their leadership since they are the "Chosen People of God" and that the "Noahide Laws are Jewish tradition." Hence who will ultimately be the moral authority that governs the so-called Noahide Laws? Jews, that's who. Anti-Christian Jews! . . . Full story: realjewnews.com

Comment: The Noahide Laws may be (modern) "Jewish" tradition, but they have not been recognized by any Israelite from Moses to the present day.

US-British Leaders swear Allegiance to Pope as England Destroyed
April 23, 2008 – Russian Intelligence reports to the Foreign Ministry today state that during last week's visit to the United States by Pope Benedict XVI, both the American President, George Bush, and Britain's Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, knelt before the Roman Pontiff and 'swore their allegiance' to the New Holy Roman Empire in a move designed to destroy the borders of all Western Nations as they prepare for Total War against the Muslim and Eastern Power Blocks in the World.

It should be noted that these two latest World leader converts to Catholicism follow the former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, who upon his resignation as the Leader of the United Kingdom. . . flew to Rome and also knelt before Pope Benedict XVI swearing his allegiance to the Pontiff and the New Holy Roman Empire.

These latest events are particularly ominous as Tony Blair is slated to become the first President of the European Union. . . the greatest dangers posed by the rising of this new Holy Roman Empire are the dissolutions of all National borders leading to the destruction of England. . .

The new European plan splits England into three zones that are joined with areas in other countries. The "Manche" region covers part of southern England and northern France while the Atlantic region includes western parts of England, Portugal, Spain and Wales.

The North Sea region includes eastern England, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and parts of Germany. A copy of the map, which makes no reference to England or Britain, has even renamed the English Channel the "Channel Sea".

The American President has, likewise, informed his North American Counterparts of these new plans to dissolve both the United States and the European Union into a Western Alliance during their US Summit. . . with the growing strength of the New Holy Roman Empire arising in their midst. . . one can surely see how these peoples will be the first to fall into the oblivion of history that in all honesty they will have no one to blame but themselves.

Comment: While the unfailingly melodramatic Sorcha Faal has a tendency to make statements supported by URLs that do not support his or her hyperbole. She or he is on the mark on this occasion. And although her references do not support her claims, she also said Mr. Putin has informed Washington that should US aggression threatened against Iran materialize, Russia will invade Georgia, opening a land bridge to Iran, facilitating the fulfilment of Ezekiel 38 and 39 soon thereafter.

Military professionals in the Pentagon recognize US troops, equipment and budgets are absolutely strained by two wars that will not end, but because the Administration works for "the City" rather than "we the people," they are already arguing about the next war. And if the next war eventuates whilst George II is in office, Brother Branham's vision of the strange caribou with a forty-two-inch rack will come to pass and the USA will Roman dominion.

The nations symbolised by these beasts, the strange caribou and the "nine-foot silver-tipped grizzly" will be "shot" in quick succession. First, after earthquakes sinks Los Angeles and much of California, Russia will invade the United States, while her exhausted military is destitute in the countries of her victims, her dollar worthless, and most of her economy beneath the Pacific. Secondly, with the world's religions federated under Rome, the Pope will command Russia's troops to withdraw to their homeland.

Once he has restored peace (I Thessalonians 5:3; Revelation 13:1-10) the world will implore the Pope, now incarnate by Satan (Revelation 12:7-13; 17:11), to accept the presidency of the world government Jesus refused (Matthew 4:8-9). This will ensure there are no more presidents of a purportedly independent USA, George II being number 42 according to the vision. Seven years earlier Brother Branham prophesied, "When this united confederation of church goes together, and the new pope is brought out of the [United Nations in the] United States and put over there [Jerusalem whence Rome will rule] according to prophecy" (Acts of the Holy Spirit, p. 12:87; Isaiah 14:12-15; Daniel 11:45).

The non-Semitic thugs ruling Israel serve the interests of "the City," Rothschilds and the Vatican NWO scam, with their citizens as expendable pawns—just like the thugs who rule our nations. Arrangements have been made to segregate Jerusalem as an international city under Vatican control (Zechariah 14:1-2; Revelation 16:19).

Before these things transpire, Christ will gather His Bride of all Ages Home to the Wedding Supper in the Sky. His end-time Bride will be so few in number, she will not be missed with the worldwide catastrophes of that time.

Rome will make a seven-year agreement with the self-styled Jewish banksters of "the City of London" to refinance the US dollar with gold backing and restore the World economy (Daniel 9:27). Three and a half years after the first resurrection and translation have taken place, and with world prosperity restored, Rome will break her agreement with the banksters, usurp the place of God in a rebuilt temple, and force the mark of the Beast.

One Common Tongue, One Pure Worship of One God
By Jonathan Gray


Introduction

After reading the above news item our contributing author, Brother Jonathan Gray began to reflect on an EU poster of the new Europe that portrays the ancient Tower of Babel, with the slogan, "Many Tongues, One Voice." (Your papers, please)! As only one family was saved by water the whole post-diluvian earth was of the one language and speech of Noah and his family (Genesis 11:1).

Jonathan was aroused from his reverie by his wife who asked, "What was the very first human tongue?

"You mean, what was the very first human language?"

"Yes," she replied. "Or do you have any idea what is our closest modern language to the original, First Tongue?"

A fascinating question, don't you think?

As an archaeologist, I believe the answer has now been discovered. Out in the remote canyons of the Pergatoire River, just south of La Junta, Colorado, researcher Gary Vey was examining some very old petroglyphics. The amazing thing was that these ancient alphabetic symbols were virtually identical to others found in the Negev desert of Israel, in South Australia, in Yemen, in Chile and in the British Isles!

On six continents, the ancient language symbols were virtually the same.

After numerous deciphering attempts, translations were eventually made with success through an old Hebrew dialect. The Colorado alphabet consisted of 22 basic, distinct geometric shapes and some variations. Vey has termed it "The First Tongue." Translations of similar petroglyphs by another team in Australia proved that they originated with the same root culture and ascribed to the same rules of grammar and symbols.

Likewise with the petroglyphs in Israel's Negev desert, documented by Dr James Harris, during the Harvard expedition in 1994. These, along with those on other continents, hinted at an original common language.


Only One Global Language at First

If we were to trace the footsteps of the first migration wave, we would discover that it has left its traces in just ONE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. This fact that the whole world once spoke the same language survives in the racial memory of many peoples.

A fragmentary Sumerian tablet copied by the Oxford cuneiformist Oliver Gurney speaks of a time when "the whole universe" spoke "in one tongue." The epic myth of Enmerker and the Lord of Araita, published by Professor S.N. Kramer, of the University of Pennsylvania, records that all mankind spoke one and the same language until Enki, the Sumerian god of wisdom, confounded their speech.

The idea that there was a time when all men spoke the same language is found also in ancient Egyptian and Indian writings. Likewise, the Popul Vuh, a book of the Central American Maya, records that "those who gazed at the rising of the sun [the ancestors who formerly lived eastward of the Americas]. . . had but one language. . . before going west."

These testimonies support the biblical book of Genesis statement that "all the earth was of one language, and of one speech" (Genesis 11:1).


Sudden Confusion of Languages

Numerous ancient traditions concur that:



(a) Everyone spoke a single language at first.
(b) The various languages did not arise capriciously, independently.
(c) In a single dramatic event the one original language became suddenly confused.
(d) Then from one central point the people were scattered to the ends of the earth.

Interestingly, all three branches of the human race recall this.


Various peoples, such as the Mexicans, the Chaldeans, the Hindus, the Greeks, the Chiapa of the Americas, Australian Aboriginal tribes, and the Fijians, to name a few, were discovered with a tradition concerning this event in which each tribe received a new language. So evidently, this is not just some biblical fairytale. This ancient event has been burnt into the racial memory of mankind as a whole.


Language did not just "Evolve"

Were you aware that no society is known at any point in history which did not have a fully developed language? ("Encyclopaedia Brittanica", 15th ed., Macrop., vol. 19, p. 1033). We find NO EVIDENCE for any kind of evolutionary development of language. The fact is, evolution cannot in any meaningful manner account for one language, much less hundreds of languages. In any case, who had time to formulate grammar when we were all supposedly running around simply trying to survive the next few minutes of life?

I have lived with jungle savages. And did you know that the most primitive tribes possess the most sophisticated languages?

(From all over the world, wherever Ham and Canaan are found, the witness is to an entirely practical view of the world, rooted in the present, wise in a canny sort of way, specific, particular, uninterested in the abstract, always inventing new words or new terms for things, interested in particulars rather than categories, earthy, and very largely disinterested in unlikely possibilities.

The family of the Indo-European languages is readily identifiable as a family, as are the Semitic tongues. The Hamites, however, have been so inventive, they devise terms with equal facility and their languages are in such a state of flux that within a few generations, even tribes living just across the river will find themselves scarcely able to converse.

This strange tendency which has prevented the Egyptians, Hittites, Sumerians, Chinese and Central American Indians from developing an alphabetical script may have been Providence, guaranteeing the quick dispersal of Ham all over the world. Many cuneiform scholars have noted the similarities between Sumerian and Chinese. "Civilization has traveled with the sun, from the east, coming west. . . . The oldest civilization is China, . . . And sin has traveled with civilization" (William Branham, We Have Seen His Star and Have Come to Worship Him, p. 28:188).

What divided the Hamites in this way was not a difference in language structure, for the philosophy of their languages remained remarkably similar, so that the ways of thinking of the African native, the Chinese peasant, and the American Indian have remained for a very long time comparable: it was the vocabularies which changed. Genesis 10 - the Table of Nations - Ed).


The First Religion?

Would you like to know what the original religion of planet earth was? Or what is the closest modern day religion to the original?

Here, again, archaeology comes to the rescue.


Is the "One God" Idea the Result of Evolution?

Have you ever heard it said that religion just evolved? Or that man's thinking has evolved gradually from magic, to religion, to science? That from an initial primitive worship of many gods, religion evolved to the idea of just one God (momotheism)?

Has anyone ever told you that? Let's face it, you'll hear it today in many places of learning. Well, we've been had! And all so as to get the evolution theory accepted.

Well, wouldn't you rather know the truth? Then here it is. There is not a shred of evidence for this supposed progression from magic, to religion, to science.

On the contrary, archaeology shows us there was science from the very start of human presence on earth. That's the opposite from what the evolution theory predicted.


Same Culture and same Religion Originally

So what is the truth about religion?

Well, you'll recall that researchers on six continents have been discovering script in mankind's "First Tongue." And that the content of the translations, although not complete, suggests a single culture and religious belief system, worldwide.


Monotheism at First

But the evidence goes further than that.

Two common petroglyphs represent the names of deity—"El" and "Yah." "El" represents the abstract form of deity—that which cannot be comprehended by man, while "Yah" is the Creator (Isaiah 44:24, showing that Jehovah of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New. "El" is a shortened form of Elohim, meaning the sum of all deity when applied to the one true God, or gods (plural) when applied to heathen gods. "Yah" is an abbreviation of Yahweh, or Jehovah, a name meaning "the self-existant One" or I AM. In Genesis 4:1, Eve exclaims, "I have gotten a man by the help of Jehovah" believing Cain was actually the Deliverer, Jesus Messiah, "the beginning of the [new] creation of God" proving that after nine months she was still deceived, believing the lie of the Satan-incarnate Serpent above the word of her prophet husband - Ed).

Both concepts represent a single deity—One God—but recognise the aspects of "knowable" and "unknowable" deity.

A successful translation has been made of the entire top row of the Colorado inscriptions, reading, "YARE HA EL," or "PRAISE THE LORD." This indicates a monotheistic religious belief at that early time when there was still a global language. It hints at an original faith inherited from the earliest ancestors.

The evidence shows that MONOtheism lay at the root of all religions. And this continued until shortly after 2000BC (on this side of the Flood - Ed)—when monotheism began to degenerate into pantheism, polytheism and animism.

Careful archaeologists and historians (Horn, Faber, Rawlinson, Waddell and Budge, to name a few) insist, from their discoveries, that the earliest Sumerians, Iranians, Phoenicians, Egyptians and Indians were monotheists. Those early civilizations recognised supremely one only God. They knew also that there was an original prophecy that although man had messed up himself and the planet, and could not get himself out of the mess, the Creator would ultimately send a Rescuer to cure all ills.

(This is supported by Brother Branham: "The ancient histories agree with the Bible that this Babylonish religion was most certainly not the original religion of earth's early peoples. It was the first to drift away from the original faith; but it was not itself the original one. Historians such as Wilkinson and Mallett have proven conclusively from the ancient documents that at one time all the peoples of the earth believed in ONE GOD, supreme, eternal, invisible, Who by the Word of His mouth spoke all things into existence, and that in His character He was loving and good and just. But as Satan will always corrupt whatever he can, we find him corrupting the minds and hearts of men so that they reject the truth. As he has always attempted to receive worship as though he were God and not the servant and creation of God, he drew worship away from God to the end that he might draw it unto himself and so be exalted. He certainly did accomplish his desire to spread his religion throughout the whole world. This is authenticated by God in the Book of Romans, "When they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, until they became vain in their imaginations, and through darkness of heart accepted a corrupted religion to the extent that they worshipped creatures and not the Creator."

Remember, Satan was a creature of God (Son of the Morning). Thus we find that where once truth was disseminated amongst men, and all held to that one truth, there later came a day when a vast group turned from God and spread a diabolical form of worship around the world. History bears it out that those of the tribe of Shem that stood with the unchanging truth were in solid opposition to those of Ham who turned away from truth to the devil's lie. There is no time to engage in a discussion of this; it is merely introduced that you may see there were two religions and two only, and the evil one became world wide.

Monotheism turned to polytheism in Babylon. The devil's lie and the devil's mysteries rose up against the truth of God and the mysteries of God in that city. Satan truly became the god of this world and exacted worship from those that he had duped, causing them to believe that he was truly the Lord.

The polytheistic religion of the enemy began with the trinitarian doctrine. It was way back there in antiquity that the "one God in three persons" idea came into existence. How strange that our modern theologians have not spotted this; but evidently just as duped by Satan as their forebears were, they still believe in three persons in the Godhead. Let us be shown just one place in Scripture where there is any authority for that doctrine. Is it not strange that while the descendants of Ham went on their way in Satanic worship which involved a basic concept of three gods that there is not one trace of the descendants of Shem believing such a thing or having any ceremonial worship that involved even a type of it? It is not strange that the Hebrews believed, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord thy God is ONE God", if there were three persons in the Godhead? Abraham, the descendant of Shem, in Genesis 18 saw only ONE God with two angels" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p.283:1-284:1).

When Israel adopted Babylonian Trinitarianism, God destroyed the nation and dispersed its people through the ancient Assyrian Empire, and when Judah forsook the Lord to worship Trinitarianism He destroyed His Temple. So take note, my denominational friend, the apostolic faith has been restored, the mystery of God is finished, and God is no respecter of persons - Ed).


All Nations awaited Him

This, the world's oldest prophecy, which our first parents claimed was given to them, was handed down to all their descendants—the prophecy of a coming Deliverer, no less. Among the ancient Babylonians, Persians, Chinese, Hindus, Germans, British, Romans, Egyptians and others, there was an expectation that this Great One was coming to cure all ills.

The Roman historian Tacitus refers to this expectation among the nations (Tacitus, Histories, v.13. Suetonius, "Vespasian," iv)

Dupuis, in L'Origine des Cultus, has collected a vast number of traditions prevalent in all nations concerning a divine person, born of a virgin—that is, without an earthly father. He would come from heaven for the purpose of delivering mankind. He would lay down his life once for all, but rising to life again would ultimately bring a new world. This prophecy appears to be as old as the human race.

Notice how an ancient poet contemplated this prophecy:



*A golden progeny from heaven descends,
O chaste Lucinda! speed the mother's pains,
And haste the glorious birth!
. . . virtue shall restore,
And crimes shall threat the guilty world no more. . .
The warring nations he in peace shall bind,
And with paternal virtues rule mankind.


And here are the words of another poet of old:


* Hail, great Physician of the world! all hail!
Hail, mighty Infant, who, in years to come,
Shall heal the nations and defraud the tomb!. . .
Thy daring art shall animate the dead,
And draw the thunder on Thy guilty head;
For Thou shalt die, but from the dark abode
Rise up victorious, and be twice a God!


* The Babylonians and Persians expected a king-redeemer and hero-sage, who would establish a new age of happiness.

* The Chinese also believed that a great wise man would appear.

* The Hindus believed that the supreme God would reveal himself to humans and that ultimately would come a new world.

* The ancient Germans looked forward to the renewal of the present world.

* The Druids of Britain expected the coming of the "Curer of all ills."

* Likewise, in the earliest Egyptian texts are found prophecies proclaiming the coming of this Savior of the human race—prophecies that were already ancient.

In these Egyptian texts we are brought face to face with prophecies concerning a Messiah who was to come. It was held that "the teacher awaited since the creation of the world" had not yet been manifested on earth. His coming was to end in his sacrifice and bring about the regeneration of mankind. The ancient Egyptian messianic prophecies refer to the Messiah as "The Lord of Death and Resurrection".

In course of time these prophecies of the Messiah became paganised by the substitution of Osiris (the god of Vegetational Decay and Regeneration) and other deities. Osiris then usurped the attributes and functions of the promised Messiah that had been known in earlier Egyptian prophecy.

Only in the late Egyptian literature (from late in the 18th and early in the 19th Dynasty) did Osiris and other gods usurp the functions and attributes of the Promised One. That was after religious degeneration had set in well and truly. But originally, the position of Osiris was not messianic. Osiris was at first no more than an allegorical figurehead, a patron of corn, a personification of the agricultural seasons (Stewart The Witness of the Great Pyramid, 1928, pp. 64-65). Much, much later he became "a god who had been originally a mortal and had risen from the dead (E.A. Wallis Budge, The Book of the Dead. London: British Museum Publications, 1920). And only then were the added attributes of the Promised One given to him.

Noted archaeologist Professor Budge points out:

"The beliefs which were conceived by the Egyptians in their lowest states of civilization were mingled with those which reveal the existence of high spiritual conceptions [at first]" (Budge The Gods of the Egyptians, 1969 Vol. I, p. 32).


Purer Faith at the Beginning

Although modern Hinduism recognises a multitude of gods (possessing different influences on human affairs), yet the Indian sacred books show that originally it had been far otherwise.

Speaking of the Supreme God (known in their language as Brahm):

* Of Him whose glory is so great, there is no image (Veda).
* [He] illumines all, delights all, whence all proceeded; that by which they live when born, and that to which all must return (Veda).
* He whom the mind alone can perceive; whose essence eludes the external organs, who has no visible parts, who exists from eternity. . .
* The soul of all beings, whom no being can comprehend (Institutes of Menu).

In these passages there is a trace of pantheism beginning to emerge, but the very language employed bears testimony to the existence among the Hindus at one period of a far purer faith.

Brahm (the one infinite and eternal God) is just the original Hebrew Rahm—with the 'b' prefixed, which is very frequent in Sanskrit words derived from Hebrew or Chaldee. The Hebrew Rahm means "the merciful, or compassionate One." But Rahm also means "the Womb," or "the Bowels" as the seat of compassion.

Now we find such language applied to Brahm, as cannot be accounted for, except by realising that Brahm had the very same meaning as the Hebrew Rahm. Thus we find the god Krishna, in one of the Hindu sacred books (when asserting his high dignity as a divinity, and his identity with the Supreme) using these words:

"The great Brahm is my Womb, and in it I place my foetus, and from it is the procreation of all nature. The great Brahm is the Womb of all the various forms which are conceived in every natural womb." It is very clear that Brahm comes from Rahm which means Womb or Merciful One. Brahm is just the same as Er-Rahman ("the all-merciful One"), a title applied by the Turks to the Most High.

Thus the Hindus, despite the deterioration of understanding seen today, once knew the Creator as "the God of mercy," that is, "a just God and a rescuer." He was also called in India "the victim-man." (And among the Buddhists he was commonly addressed as "Savior of the world" (Mahawanso, xxxi "apud" Pococke's India in Greece, p. 185).

Furthermore, the meaning of Deva (the generic name for "God" in India) is similar. Deva originally came from the Chaldean Thav ("Good"). Thav is also legitimately pronounced Thev and in the emphatic form is Theva or Thevo ("the Good"). "Th" is frequently pronounced "Dh." Hence Deva.

The "v" is frequently dropped (just as "novus" in Latin is "neos" in Greek). Dheva, or Theva, or Thevo becomes Deva. It also becomes Deo or Devs" ("God" in Latin) and Theos ("God" in Greek), or Theo-s or Thevo-s. This reflects the passage in the Bible that says, "There is none good but One, that is God [Theos—the Good]" (Matthew 19:17).


Gradual Increase in Gods

Ancient textual evidence shows that the trend was to increase the number of gods as time passed, rather than decrease them (Siegfried H. Horn, Records of the Past Illuminate the Bible, 1975, p. 12).

It was only the later nations who were POLYtheists (worshipping many gods). As an example of how far this trend has developed over the past 4,000 years, it is calculated that today the Hindu religion has 600,000 gods.

Now, are you ready for this? The highly civilized people who believed in one great God—the Creator—radically changed their thinking so as to venerate planets, cats, hawks, snakes and beetles. How could an original, healthy, beneficent religious system degenerate into practices such as human sacrifice? Why are the stories and teachings of Jesus Christ, Krishna and Buddha so remarkably similar? Were there at least 16 avatars/saviors/messiahs before Jesus Christ? Such as Krishna, Mithra, Osiris, Thoth, Prometheus, Buddha and Quetzalcoatl, while the so-called Jews have claimed at least 26 Messiahs excluding Israel's Jesus Messiah. Why do their mythologies have uncanny parallels—for example, virgin birth, a December 25 birthday, saviors of royal descent, a violent death, a resurrection, ascensions, and so on?

Perhaps Brother Jonathan will expand on some of these points in a future Newsletter. nl526.htm

Bible Believers' Newsletter #525
"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are pleased you could join us once again in fellowship around God's unchanging Word.

"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force" (Ayn Rand, The Nature of Government). Americans think Homeland Security, British face CCTV cameras and micro-chipped police, Germans recall, "papers, please," while Russians reflect on the Gulag and the slaughter of Christians!

Sniff the air. Can you smell the mark of the beast in contrived food shortages, taxing of the air we breathe via CO2 Ponzi schemes, fraudulent energy shortages restricting our mobility, muzzling of free speech or thought control, health scares, propaganda about security threats??? As the Capstone was placed on the pyramid of New Jerusalem in 1963, Lucifer was uniting his legions in Vatican II. Illuminati has been lowering the capstone on Lucifer's pyramid.

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

The Vaccination Hoax and Holocaust
"Nearly all men die of their medicines not of their diseases" – Moliere

Searching for children who had not been exposed to mercury in vaccines — the kind of population that scientists typically use as a "control" in experiments—Olmsted scoured the Amish of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, who refuse to immunize their infants. Given the national rate of autism, Olmsted calculated that there should be 130 autistics among the Amish. He found only four. One had been exposed to high levels of mercury from a power plant. The other three— including one child adopted from outside the Amish community—had received their vaccines – Deadly Immunity By Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Now 1 in 100 children have autism, 1 in 5 asthma, 1 in 10 dyslexia, 1 in 20 Attention-deficit disorder, Epilepsy 5-8 per 1000, Cerebral Palsy (1 in 400 to 1 in 166), an epidemic of Type 2 diabetes—and the number one suspect is vaccination. The Government/Vaccine Industry is going to carry on vaccinating, covering up, and claiming vaccines are safe, until every other child has a vaccine induced disease, so only parent awareness is going to stop that. . .

Comment: But you yourselves perfectly well know that TO PRODUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE EXPRESSION OF SUCH WISHES BY ALL THE NATIONS IT IS INDISPENSABLE TO TROUBLE IN ALL COUNTRIES THE PEOPLE'S RELATIONS WITH THEIR GOVERNMENTS SO AS TO UTTERLY EXHAUST HUMANITY WITH DISSENSION, HATRED, STRUGGLE, ENVY AND EVEN BY THE USE OF TORTURE, BY STARVATION, BY THE INOCULATION OF DISEASES, BY WANT, SO THAT THE "GOYIM" SEE NO OTHER ISSUE THAN TO TAKE REFUGE IN OUR COMPLETE SOVEREIGNTY IN MONEY AND IN ALL ELSE.

Protest held at Zionist Fair
April 6, 2008 – Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews gathered in Teaneck, New Jersey to protest during a street fair to "celebrate" the 60th anniversary of the creation of the Zionist state of "Israel."



The Jewish people figure prominently in world headlines. Much of this publicity is negative. Jews in the Holy Land are in danger. Palestinians are killed daily. . . Is all this simply inevitable? . .

Zionism was greeted with staunch and passionate opposition by the vast majority of Torah leaders at the time of its inception. This opposition was rooted not merely in a fear of the irreligiosity of, almost all, early Zionist leaders but due to the movement's desire to bring about a political and military end to Jewish exile. . .

Israel's Anti-Missionary Law
Israel's anti-missionary law, that was conspicuously passed during Christmas week on December 27, 1977, makes it a crime punishable by up to 5 years in prison to attempt to convert an Israeli to Christianity by use of any material inducement (Law #5738-1977). If a Christian gives even a Gospel leaflet to an Israeli, he violates this law. Also, if the Israeli converts to Christianity after receiving the leaflet, he could face 3 years in prison. Because of Israel's dependence on Christian and American good will, this statute, while on the books, is not rigorously enforced. Israel has incarcerated 9,000 Palestinians without trial yet remains reluctant to imprison even one American missionary, which could send shock waves through the evangelical "cash cow" whose resources are vital to keeping Israel's sagging socialist economy afloat. For now, Israeli law enforcement walks a middle road, merely deporting Christians who openly witness. However, legislation now before the Knesset would mandate as much as 3 years in prison for attempting to convert Israeli youth under the age of 18. Jewish Christians have been given greater latitude to witness, yet under this proposed legislation they too could be imprisoned for witnessing to Israeli youth (truthtellers.org).

The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion
Read this list of NWO intentions and tick off those that have happened in your country already!

"WE SHALL":

1. Seduce and demoralize the youth with false doctrines.

2. Destroy the family life.

3. Dominate humanity by preying upon their lower instincts and vices.

4. Debase and vulgarize art, and introduce filth in Literature.

5. Destroy respect for religions; undermine the reputation of the clergy through scandalous stories and back up the so called "Higher Criticism" so that the old fundamental faith is shattered and quarrels and controversies become permanent in the churches.

6. Introduce the habit for luxuries, crazy fashions and spendthrift ideas so that the ability for enjoying clean and plain pleasures is lost.

7. Divert the attention of the people by public amusements, sports, games, prize contests, etc., so that there is no time for thinking.

8. Confuse and bewilder the minds of the people by false theories and shatter the nerves and health by continuously introducing new poisons. (Alcohol, nicotine, drugs, demineralized foods, etc. - Ed.).

9. Instigate class hatred and war among the different classes of people.

10. Dispossess the old aristocracy, which still maintains high traditions by excessive taxes and replace it with the "Knights of the Golden Calf".

11. Poison the relations between the employees and employers through strikes and lockouts so as to rule out the possibility of productive co-operation.

12. Demoralize by all means the higher classes of society and by adverse publicity raise the hate of the people toward them.

13. Use industry to ruin agriculture and then in its turn destroy industry by wild speculation.

14. Spread all possible utopian theories so as to bring the people into a labyrinth of impractical ideas.

15. Raise the rate of wages, which however will not bring any advantage to the workers for at the same time we shall produce a rise in the price of the first necessities of life.

16. Cause diplomatic friction and misunderstanding between States which will increase international suspicions and hate thereby greatly augmenting armaments.

17. Introduce in all states, general suffrage so that the destiny of nations depend upon ignorant people.

18. Overthrow all monarchies and substitute republics them; in so far as possible fill important state offices with persons who are involved in some unlawful affair and who will, from fear of being exposed, remain our obedient servants.

19. Gradually amend all constitutions so as to prepare the soil for absolute despotism and Bolshevism.

20. Establish huge monopolies upon which even the great fortunes of the Gentiles will depend to such an extent that they will be swallowed up at the "hour" when the industrial crisis will start.

21. Destroy all financial stability; increase economic depressions to the extent of bringing a general world bankruptcy; stop the wheels of industry; make bonds, stocks and paper money worthless; accumulate all the gold of the world in the hands of a certain few people thus withdrawing tremendous capital from circulation; at a given hour close all the exchanges, withdraw all credits and cause general panic.

22. Prepare the death struggle of the nations; wear out humanity through suffering, fear and shortage of food - hunger creates slaves!!!

That is the program! Like the New Testament, it is said to be a forgery, but like the New Testament, it is sufficiently close to the original that, as you have read, its prescient writings have been coming to pass with astounding accuracy. Historian Monus Aron has republished Theodor Herzl's Programme for the Jewish World-Colony (rather known as "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion") in Hungarian, French and German. He writes, "The authenticity of the book by Theodor Herzl is proved by the sentence pronounced by the Court of Appeal of Paris on the 22nd of September, 1993. The same is also proved by the sentence pronounced by the District Court of Pest against the Alliance of the Jewish Religious Associations in Hungary and its director, Gusztáv Zoltai, obliging them to beg me for forgiveness in many newspapers." One certainly must note the identity of thought found in the Protocols on the one hand and in Herzl’s public writings, such as The Jewish State, (1896) and in the writings of other prominent past and contemporary Jewish leaders on the other.

Great publicity was given throughout the world in 1935 to a decision in the Swiss Courts that the documents known as "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" were a forgery; the judge had described the contents as "ridiculous nonsense"; and that the Protocols had been condemned as an offence against public morals. However on November 1, 1937, the Protocols verdict given on May 14, 1935, was reversed by the Berne Court of Appeal. The primary Judge had been corrupted and the two defendants were entirely exonerated of any incorrect behavior in publishing and circulating Protocols.

Quotations on the New World Order, 1918 to 1995


The program for a new world order may be traced to God's foreknowledge of Lucifer's iniquity before there was a Lucifer or any created thing. In the day's of our Lord's earthly walk, "Lucifer took Jesus up into an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory, and said, I will give You this new world order, if You will fall down and worship me. Then said Jesus, Be gone Satan: for it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord Your God, and Him only shall you serve'" — Matthew 4:8-10.

Very soon now, the Pope of the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church will receive dominion over the new world order or one world government Jesus rejected. Whereas God was incarnate in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, Lucifer will be incarnate in the Pope who will be the inaugural president of this imminent one world government. Revelation 13:8, 11-12 "All who live on the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. . . And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them that live thereon to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed".

The first beast is the Roman Dragon in its Papal incarnation now reviving the Empire. The second beast is the American Buffalo, signifying the United States, which is the image of Imperial Rome as the recent violence of its history declares.

The following quotations and others like them demonstrate clearly that the words "new world order" have been in use for decades and did not originate with George I in 1990. Whereas the "old world order" is one based on independent nation-states as mandated by the Lord's instructions to Noah following the Great Flood (Genesis 11:8; Deuteronomy 32:8; Acts 17:26-27). The "new world order" involves the elimination of the sovereignty and independence of nation-states and some form of totalitarian one world government. The rather incestuous major factions contending for global hegemony are the Judaeo-Roman Catholic Church, the City of London, the Black Nobility, and Judaeo-Communism. This means privatization of national wealth, infrastructure and control, the "harmonization" of laws, and an end to national Constitutions. Most of the new world order proposals involve the conversion of the United Nations and its agencies to a world government, complete with a world army, world parliament, World Court, global taxation, and numerous other agencies to control every aspect of human life (education, nutrition, healthcare, population, immigration, communications, transportation, finance, commerce, agriculture, the environment, and so on). The various notions of the "new world order" differ as to details and scale, but agree on the basic principle and substance.

"The old world order changed when this war-storm broke. The old international order passed away as suddenly, as unexpectedly, and as completely as if it had been wiped out by a gigantic flood, by a great tempest, or by a volcanic eruption. The old world order died with the setting of that day's sun and a new world order is being born while I speak, with birth-pangs so terrible that it seems almost incredible that life could come out of such fearful suffering and such overwhelming sorrow" — Nicholas Murray Butler in an address to the Union League of Philadelphia, November 27, 1915.

"The peace conference has assembled. It will make the most momentous decisions in history, and upon these decisions will rest the stability of the new world order and the future peace of the world" — M. C. Alexander, Executive Secretary of the American Association for International Conciliation, in a subscription letter for the periodical International Conciliation (1919).

"The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia was the work of Jewish planning and Jewish dissatisfaction. Our Plan is to have a New World Order. What worked so wonderfully in Russia, is going to become Reality for the whole world" — The American Hebrew Magazine, September 10, 1920.

"The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy, and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this new world order the children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come, the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands" — Baruch Levy, Letter to Karl Marx. Quoted in La Revue de Paris, p.574, June 1, 1928.

"If there are those who think we are to jump immediately into a new world order, actuated by complete understanding and brotherly love, they are doomed to disappointment. If we are ever to approach that time, it will be after patient and persistent effort of long duration. The present international situation of mistrust and fear can only be corrected by a formula of equal status, continuously applied, to every phase of international contacts, until the cobwebs of the old order are brushed out of the minds of the people of all lands" — Dr. Augustus O. Thomas, president of the World Federation of Education Associations (August 1927), quoted in the book "International Understanding: Agencies Educating for a New World" (1931).

". . . when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people . . . will hate the new world order . . . and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people" — H. G. Wells, "The New World Order" (1939).

"The term Internationalism has been popularized in recent years to cover an interlocking financial, political, and economic world force for the purpose of establishing a World Government. Today Internationalism is heralded from pulpit and platform as a 'League of Nations' or a 'Federated Union' to which the United States must surrender a definite part of its National Sovereignty. The World Government plan is being advocated under such alluring names as the 'New International Order,' 'The New World Order,' 'World Union Now,' 'World Commonwealth of Nations,' 'World Community,' etc. All the terms have the same objective; however, the line of approach may be religious or political according to the taste or training of the individual" — excerpt from A Memorial to be Addressed to the House of Bishops and the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies of the Protestant Episcopal Church in General Convention (October 1940).

"In the first public declaration on the Jewish question since the outbreak of the war, Arthur Greenwood, member without portfolio in the British War Cabinet, assured the Jews of the United States that when victory was achieved an effort would be made to found a new world order based on the ideals of 'justice and peace'" — excerpt from article entitled "New World Order Pledged to Jews," in the New York Times (October 1940).

"If totalitarianism wins this conflict, the world will be ruled by tyrants, and individuals will be slaves. If democracy wins, the nations of the earth will be united in a commonwealth of free peoples, and individuals, wherever found, will be the sovereign units of the new world order" — The Declaration of the Federation of the World, produced by the Congress on World Federation, adopted by the Legislatures of North Carolina (1941), New Jersey (1942), Pennsylvania (1943), and possibly other states.

"New World Order Needed for Peace: State Sovereignty Must Go, Declares Notre Dame Professor" — title of article in The Tablet (Brooklyn) (March 1942).

"Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles tonight called for the early creation of an international organization of anti-Axis nations to control the world during the period between the armistice at the end of the present war and the setting up of a new world order on a permanent basis" — text of article in the Philadelphia Inquirer (June 1942).

"The statement went on to say that the spiritual teachings of religion must become the foundation for the new world order and that national sovereignty must be subordinate to the higher moral law of God" — American Institute of Judaism, excerpt from article in the New York Times (December 1942).

"There are some plain common-sense considerations applicable to all these attempts at world planning. They can be briefly stated: 1. To talk of blueprints for the future or building a world order is, if properly understood, suggestive, but it is also dangerous. Societies grow far more truly than they are built. A constitution for a new world order is never like a blueprint for a skyscraper" — Norman Thomas, in his book "What Is Our Destiny" (1944).

"He [John Foster Dulles] stated directly to me that he had every reason to believe that the Governor [Thomas E. Dewey of New York] accepts his point of view and that he is personally convinced that this is the policy that he would promote with great vigor if elected. So it is fair to say that on the first round the Sphinx of Albany has established himself as a prima facie champion of a strong and definite new world order." — excerpt from article by Ralph W. Page in the Philadelphia Bulletin (May 1944).

"The United Nations, he told an audience at Harvard University, 'has not been able—nor can it be able—to shape a new world order which events so compellingly demand.' . . . The new world order that will answer economic, military, and political problems, he said, 'urgently requires, I believe, that the United States take the leadership among all free peoples to make the underlying concepts and aspirations of national sovereignty truly meaningful through the federal approach'" — Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York, in an article entitled "Rockefeller Bids Free Lands Unite: Calls at Harvard for Drive to Build New World Order" — New York Times (February 1962).

"The developing coherence of Asian regional thinking is reflected in a disposition to consider problems and loyalties in regional terms, and to evolve regional approaches to development needs and to the evolution of a new world order" — Richard Nixon, in Foreign Affairs (October 1967).

"He [President Nixon] spoke of the talks as a beginning, saying nothing more about the prospects for future contacts and merely reiterating the belief he brought to China that both nations share an interest in peace and building 'a new world order.'" — excerpt from an article in the New York Times (February 1972).

"If instant world government, Charter review, and a greatly strengthened International Court do not provide the answers, what hope for progress is there? The answer will not satisfy those who seek simple solutions to complex problems, but it comes down essentially to this: The hope for the foreseeable lies, not in building up a few ambitious central institutions of universal membership and general jurisdiction as was envisaged at the end of the last war, but rather in the much more decentralized, disorderly and pragmatic process of inventing or adapting institutions of limited jurisdiction and selected membership to deal with specific problems on a case-by-case basis . . . In short, the 'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. It will look like a great 'booming, buzzing confusion,' to use William James' famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault" — Richard N. Gardner, in Foreign Affairs (April 1974)

"The existing order is breaking down at a very rapid rate, and the main uncertainty is whether mankind can exert a positive role in shaping a new world order or is doomed to await collapse in a passive posture. We believe a new order will be born no later than early in the next century and that the death throes of the old and the birth pangs of the new will be a testing time for the human species" — Richard A. Falk, in an article entitled "Toward a New World Order: Modest Methods and Drastic Visions," in the book "On the Creation of a Just World Order" (1975).

"My country's history, Mr. President, tells us that it is possible to fashion unity while cherishing diversity, that common action is possible despite the variety of races, interests, and beliefs we see here in this chamber. Progress and peace and justice are attainable. So we say to all peoples and governments: Let us fashion together a new world order" — Henry Kissinger, in address before the General Assembly of the United Nations, October 1975).

"At the old Inter-American Office in the Commerce Building here in Roosevelt's time, as Assistant Secretary of State for Latin American Affairs under President Truman, as chief whip with Adlai Stevenson and Tom Finletter at the founding of the United Nations in San Francisco, Nelson Rockefeller was in the forefront of the struggle to establish not only an American system of political and economic security but a new world order" — part of article in the New York Times (November 1975).

"A New World Order" — title of article on commencement address at the University of Pennsylvania by Hubert H. Humphrey, printed in the Pennsylvania Gazette (June 1977).

"Further global progress is now possible only through a quest for universal consensus in the movement towards a new world order" — Mikhail Gorbachev, in an address at the United Nations (December 1988).

"We believe we are creating the beginning of a new world order coming out of the collapse of the US-Soviet antagonisms" — Brent Scowcroft (August 1990), quoted in the Washington Post (May 1991).

"We can see beyond the present shadows of war in the Middle East to a new world order where the strong work together to deter and stop aggression. This was precisely Franklin Roosevelt's and Winston Churchill's vision for peace for the post-war period" — Richard Gephardt, in the Wall Street Journal (September 1990).

"If we do not follow the dictates of our inner moral compass and stand up for human life, then his lawlessness will threaten the peace and democracy of the emerging new world order we now see, this long dreamed-of vision we've all worked toward for so long" — President George Bush (January 1991).

"But it became clear as time went on that in Mr. Bush's mind the New World Order was founded on a convergence of goals and interests between the US and the Soviet Union, so strong and permanent that they would work as a team through the UN Security Council" -- excerpt from A. M. Rosenthal, in the New York Times (January 1991).

"I would support a Presidential candidate who pledged to take the following steps: . . . At the end of the war in the Persian Gulf, press for a comprehensive Middle East settlement and for a 'new world order' based not on Pax Americana but on peace through law with a stronger UN and World Court" — George McGovern, in the New York Times (February 1991).

". . . it's Bush's baby, even if he shares its popularization with Gorbachev. Forget the Hitler 'new order' root; F.D.R. used the phrase earlier" — William Safire, in the New York Times (February 1991).

"The pope, obviously, has a spiritual vision for the new world order. Unlike other leaders fuzzily conjecturing about the new world order, John Paul has a Christian vision. The pope believes that neither oppressive Marxism, with its godless ideology, nor materialistic capitalism, with its financial inequities, is an acceptable system . . . the pope envisions a new world order centered and dependent upon Christ" — Clifford Goldstein, "Who Leads the New World Order?"

Luke 17:20 – 18:8


Last week a denominational minister wrote, "I have pondered Luke 17:20-18:8 at some length so your reference to Luke 17:26-30 was an intriguing one for me. If I may briefly put it like this, when I was originally convicted to write it was because of faith, and Luke 18:8 was the very verse that was on my mind. It was as if my writing this letter was to give an answer 'Yes' to Luke 18:8".

This somewhat more detailed presentation of my response to the Brother should serve as a beneficial rehearsal for most of us and provide an edifying tutorial to those who are new in the faith.

Luke 17:20-21: "When the Pharisees demanded to know when the Kingdom of God should come, Jesus answered, The Kingdom of God does not come by looking for it. And when it has come, His elect will not say, 'Look! Here it is!' or 'See over there!' For the Kingdom of God is within you".

The borders of the Kingdom of God are not defined by coordinates on a map, or by geographical features such as rivers, mountains or coastlines, for the kingdom of God is within your soul. It is, however, delineated by the Word for an Age , for although every born-again Christian is a member of one Body, in each Age the Lord was building a different part of the Body spoken Word Body by a different measure of faith.


Christ is the mystery of God revealed. When God in His foreknowledge saw Jesus crucified before the foundation of the world—even before the Logos had been expressed—His Bride was in Him then (John 17:5; Revelation 13:8; II Corinthians 5:13-21) as the first Adam's Bride was in him when he was formed from the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7). When God put Jesus to sleep on Calvary, His Bride was taken from His side in the form of the Holy Spirit as Adam's bride was taken from his side in the form of a rib when God put him to sleep in the garden of Eden. So the Church is made from the Holy Spirit as Eve was formed from Adam's rib.


Christ's Bride are Attributes of the Logos and being in the mind and thoughts of God we are made from the same substance and eternal with Him. So the Kingdom of God is Christ in you. It is the new birth which is generated by a clear revelation of the Word of the hour. We must recognize our day and it's Message since God is only writing epistles of the present Truth.


We understand from Isaiah 28:5-13, I John 1:7 and Revelation 1-3 that the Lord revealed a particular portion of His Word for the elect of each Age to manifest in their lives. Whereas Luther's Message quickened the souls of those predestinated to be baptized into the Sardis Church Age (1520-1750), and although his Message of "justification by grace through faith" alone is the foundation on which Christ is building His Church (Ephesians 2:20), this revelation was insufficient to quicken the elect predestinated to the Philadelphian Church Age (1750-1906). For God added a further "precept" in the Message of John Wesley, the "angel" to that Age, that "without holiness no man shall see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14). Then again, the Word for Wesley's Age would not regenerate the saints of the Laodicean Church Age in which the Lord restored belief in Spiritual gifts; and neither will the Pentecostal Message of the "seventh angel," William Branham, quicken Christ's end-time Bride in this holy convocation of the fiftieth day of the antitype of Israel's Pentecostal feast. We cannot be born-again by impersonating the Word for a day gone by and must become written epistles of the Message for our day.

Having rejected Israel's Law and usurped God's Prophets for the Babylonian Talmud "that makes God's Word of no effect" (Matthew 15:9), the Pharisees who questioned Jesus were estranged from God and rebuffed His forerunner, anticipating a military General who would destroy Rome and restore the kingdom to Israel (Acts 1:6). Had they believed God's prophets, they would have been looking for the virgin-born Baby, not Talmudic fantasies of Christ's third Coming, which will be His second physical (Gk. 'erchomai') return as Son of David for the Millennium after the consummation of life.

Today the denominational church is in the same error, looking for the glorified Jesus in the Office of Son of David. His second Coming as taught through the Gospels and Epistles is a (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming in the prophetic Office of Son of Man, NOT the physical return of the Man from Galilee. Jesus stated emphatically, "Do NOT to look for a Man" (Matthew 24:21-28; Zechariah 14:7; Luke 17:21; Revelation 10:1-6). The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W-O-R-D form. As Paul prophesied, "When the fullness of the W-O-R-D has come, PART-Word [and a Mediator] will be done away" (I Corinthians 13:10; Acts 3:19-23; I Thessalonians 4:14-16; Jude 14; Revelation 10:1-7).

While His first Coming was through the womb of a woman, His second Coming was through the mouth of a prophet, for the Word of God comes only through His servants the prophets (Amos 3:6-8; II Peter 1:21). Like the Pharisees who crucified the Son of man the denominational churches are not looking for a prophet but crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh and put Him to an open shame, which is the unforgivable sin (Hebrews 6:1-8). He came in W-O-R-D form as the Message of the Prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7, which is the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6 and the "shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16 confirmed by the heavenly voice of Revelation 18:4.

The Coming of the kingdom of God is a revelation! It is Light on the Word! The apostolic faith that quickened the souls of the saints in the morning of the Gospel has been restored in the evening time. And unless people are constantly in the Word to know what Jesus is doing now, it will go over their Heads as it went over the heads of the Pharisees, and they will find themselves in the tribulation with their names blotted from the Book of Life like the Pharisees (Psalm 69:22-28).

Luke 17:22-25: Scarcely had Jesus assured the Pharisees the Kingdom of God has come and is already in the believer as a revelation pending its quickening to Life on the day of Pentecost, than He hastens to forestall any misapprehensions that might arise among His disciples in view of their impending separation. "The time is coming, when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you will not see it. They will say to you, 'Messiah is here!' or, 'Over there!'"

"Don't bother to look! For as the lightning flashes from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be in His day. But first must He suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation".

Jesus explained that His second or 'parousia' Coming in the Office of Son of man will not be His glorified person, or even a man, but the fulness of the prophetic Word that cannot be observed by the eye but will be perceived by the revelation of faith. As the sign of Acts 1:9-11 and Revelation 1:7 confirms, this Coming, like lightning, is a universal Coming; no man can appear universally except by Spiritual revelation from the Father (Matthew 16:13-17). God's Word is Spirit in a form we can receive by faith. This explains how the Spirit can dwell within a saint in Nigeria and simultaneously in another saint in New Zealand, or in Jesus and His disciples, but not in the Pharisees standing by them.

Luke 17:26-27: Jesus proceeds to explains one the signs of His Coming: "In the days of My second [or 'parousia'] Coming the world will be as indifferent to the revealed Word and warnings of God as it was in the days of Noah—they ate, they drank, they married and they were given in marriage until the day when Noah entered the ark; then the Flood came and destroyed them all."

Jesus admonished us to examine the moral, scientific and economic conditions prevailing before "the end of all flesh by water" (Genesis 6:1-13), and prophesied a repetition of these conditions in the days of His second or 'parousia' Coming when a prophet with warning before judgment would reveal a way to escape "the end of all flesh" by Fire (Malachi 4:1-3, 5-6; Matthew 3:12; 24:37; II Peter 3:1-12). We live in a scientific age like the days of Noah, an apostate cosmopolitan and materialistic world of morally degenerate, racially corrupt people filled with violence.

What so "grieved the Lord at His heart" that He determined to destroy mankind were misalliances of the sons of Adam with the daughters of Cain. Throughout the Bible we are instructed that the original sin was adultery between Eve and the giant man-like creature called the Serpent. Their offspring was Cain who was not on the Book of Life. God set "enmity" between the seed of the Serpent and the seed of Adam (Genesis 3:15), and the enmity is extant. Miscegenation with Cain's lineage spells genocide to Adam's race whence an election was predestinated to be "heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ" (Romans 8:17). Miscegenation with the hybrid offspring of Eve's adultery is therefore a satanic usurpation of the Kingdom, for the offspring will be in Cain's accursed race. Jesus Christ is the last Adam; He is not the last Cain, and cannot redeem Cain or his seed since He is not their kinsmen (Leviticus 25; Ruth). Miscegenation is accursed of God, whose law of reproduction requires that everything bring forth of its own kind whose seed is in itself—not from seed of another specie (Genesis 1:11). The species are devolving: the hypothesis of the evolution of species is a lie of the Devil to eliminate the necessity for a sovereign Creator God.

Moses informs us Noah was "justified by grace through faith, and had a perfect pedigree from Adam; and Noah walked with God. Three sons were born to Noah—Shem, Ham and Japheth. But the earth had grown corrupted in God's sight and filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and saw how degenerate it was; (devolving, NOT evolving) for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. And God said to Noah, I see the end of all humanity; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, I will destroy them with the earth" (Genesis 6:9-13).

Miscegenation between the daughters of Cain and the sons of Adam became so commonplace in the days of Noah; God destroyed all life that was not in the Ark. But Moses explains how the physical Serpent's seed was in the Ark. Noah's wife was not the mother of his three sons but she was the mother of Canaan, Ham's firstborn. Since the Flood, miscegenation between the seed of the Serpent and the children of Adam has produced "mighty men. . . men of renown," such as those who rule our world today (Genesis 6:4).

God commanded Moses and the Israelites to utterly slay all the Serpent's seed they encountered in the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 4:1-3; 20:16-16). However, they intermarried and before the birth of Israel's Messiah they had assimilated and "were hereafter no other than Jews" (Josephus, Antiquity of the Jews, xiii. 9, 1; xv. 7,0).

Jesus said this sin would repeat in the days of His 'parousia' Coming (Matthew 24:37; Luke 17:22-27). It has and while apostate churchmen bless, characterless politicians applaud what God has cursed. "Multiculturalism" ensures that if time were to go on, the whole human race would be hybrid under the curse of Cain, and irredeemable (Genesis 4:11-14). The nations are already irrevocably destroyed: UN policy and the policy of her (once) Christian member nations is to breed Adam's race off the Book of Life "as it was in the days of Noah".

Enoch walked in the fullness of the revealed Word for his day, and was called out of the seventh generation from the first Adam and translated before the tribulation of the Flood. He types Christ's end-time Bride who is called out of the seventh generation from the last Adam (Matthew 25:6; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 18:4) into the unity of the faith (Ephesians 4:13; Revelation 22:17-19) for the manifestation of the Sons of God (Romans 8:19) and the translation (I Corinthians 15:46-56) before the tribulation. Noah types the foolish virgin who will endure the tribulation unto martyrdom.

Luke 17:28-37: Jesus foretells another sign of His Coming, "And the world will be as it was in the days of Lot—they ate and drank, they bought and sold, they planted and built; but on the day when Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. So will it be on the day when the Son of man is revealed."

Jesus was prophesying of His 'parousia' to us Gentiles, not His 'parousia' Coming to Israel in "the time of Jacob's trouble" which is the great tribulation that follows the catching- away of Christ's Bride.

"In that day, let he who is on the housetop, with his belongings in the house, not go down to pack, and those in the fields not return to town. Remember Lot's wife. Whoever clings to his material life shall lose it; and whoever dies to carnal ties shall preserve it alive."

Christ's parousia is a revelation. Jesus is warning us not to value revelation lightly. This is illustrated by the parable in which Jesus likened "the kingdom of heaven to treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in joy went and sold all that he had, and bought that field" (Matthew 13:44). Brother Branham taught that the foolish virgin are unwise because they are dilatory, or because they are slothful. Jesus said, "Remember Lot's wife," who had made the first step toward escaping the destruction but halted with one foot in the world, and one foot in the Word.

"I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed; the one shall be taken, the other left. Two women will be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; one will be taken, and the other left."

"In response the Disciples asked, "Lord, where will they be taken?" Jesus replied, "Wherever the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together".

Jesus is not speaking of the physical catching away to the wedding supper of the Lamb in the sky, but of the division and separation of the elect from carnal religion by the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6, which is the "shout" of the Message of Brother Branham, the Prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7, "Come out of Babylon and be filled with the Spirit" (Revelation 18:4).

The Pharisees had asked "When will the Kingdom of God Come?" in expectation of its physical (Gk. 'erchomai') coming to earth. Also thinking naturally the disciples asked, "Where will the chosen ones be taken to?" Jesus replied with the allegory of an "eagle," typing these elect with this heavenly bird that flies higher and sees further than all other birds and eats only clean prey, in contrast with the crow which will as happily feed on a rotting carcass as on grain, a type of the hypocrite; or her denominational chickens that scratch in the dirt and manure for scraps of doctrine from a day gone by. The elect are called out of "her," the church (Revelation 17:5), into "Him," the unfailing Body-Word of the Son of man. The "shout" of the revelation of the Seven Seals calls the elect out of the world and Spiritually (not physically) separates them from sin and from the worldly desires of non-elect family and friends (I Thessalonians 4:16; Luke 12:51-53).

We are caught up and transported into the Kingdom by revelation as John who is our type was caught up in the Spirit into the Lord's day while his physical being and domicile remained on the Island of Patmos. This is the fulfilment of Revelation 4:1-2 after the Church Ages of PART-Word and Christ's intercession ended in 1963. It is the new birth of Christ's end-time Bride who is caught up into the Spirit to receive the revelation of the Seven Seals that confirm Christ and His Bride are the mystery of God revealed. Throughout the Book of Revelation John represents Christ's end-time Bride. We know this is so, because Jesus only revealed the mystery of the Book to the "seventh angel," Brother Branham, whose ministry was for Christ's end-time Bride alone, for when the Book is opened, the Church Age saints have all been sealed to the day of their physical redemption (Revelation 1:1; 3:14; 10:7). When John was caught up in the Spirit into the Day of the Lord, he looked back through time to the Seventh Trump which ended the Gentile dispensation and commenced the Day of the Lord (Revelation 1:10); then back before that to the end of Laodicea (Revelation 4:1) and the fulfilment of Revelation 4, 5, and 10:1-7 where he saw and heard Brother Branham preaching the revelation of the Seals between March 17-24, 1963, as Christ unfolded their mystery through him.

In obedience to his commission (Revelation 1:11), John was recording in Old Testament symbols the things he saw and heard in the visions, but "when the seven thunders had spoken, a Voice from heaven said, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. . . but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as He has declared to His servants the prophets" (Revelation 10:4, 7; Daniel 12:4, 9).

Brother Branham said, "Now this messenger of Malachi 4 and Revelation 10:7 is going to do two things. One: According to Malachi 4 he will turn the hearts of the children to the fathers. Two: He will reveal the mysteries of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals. It will be these divinely revealed 'mystery-truths' that literally turn the hearts of the children to the Pentecostal fathers" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 327:1).

Where are you standing now, saint of God? In the flesh you are in Belize, Roma, Sargodha, Makurdi, Cabadbaran City, or on the Island of Patmos with your feet planted firmly on this earth! While in the spirit you are caught up into heaven like John (Revelation 4:1). The "rapture" is a threefold PROCESS as Paul explained in I Thessalonians 4:16. It consists of the "shout" of the Prophet's Message which is your baptism into Christ in this holy convocation of the fiftieth day of the Pentecostal feast, followed by the "voice of the Archangel" which is Christ in your heart, placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation to bring you to maturity "in the unity of the faith" (Ephesians 4:13) for the "manifestation of the Sons of God" (Romans 8:19). The "trump of God" will signal the end of the Gentile dispensation with a massive earthquake calling the resurrection of the sleeping saints, and the translation of Christ's end-time Bride. The "rapture" is a revelation that commenced in 1963 and will be fulfilled within fifty days after the Israel's Seventh Trump.

In the days of Lot three messengers visited God's elect, Abraham and Sarah, before fire from heaven destroyed Sodom and the cities on the plain. The sin of that Serpent's seed civilization as it is today was homosexuality. Abraham worshipped one of these men, who proved He was the Word, telling them all about themselves and confirming the coming of their promised son Isaac. Hebrews 4:12, "The Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged 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." He was not Jesus who was not yet born, but the Father of the Son veiled behind created flesh (Genesis 18). He later veiled Himself behind the flesh of His virgin-born Son and identified Himself by the same sign (Luke 7:39-40; John 4:16-29). In our day He has veiled Himself behind the flesh of a sinner-saved-by grace and revealed "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever" by the same sign; the last sign Jesus promised to we Gentiles before the end of our dispensation (Luke 17:28-30).

The two messengers went down into Sodom to call out the non-elect, and condemn those so blinded by sin they could not find the natural door to Lot's house. Today Billy Graham and Oral Roberts have preached a basic salvation Message to the church in Sodom, which is so blinded by sin it cannot find Jesus Christ, the Spiritual Door to God's House, for they are looking for the second or third part of a Roman trinity of gods.

Luke 18:1-8: "And Jesus told them a parable to show that they ought always to pray until the answer comes, and not lose heart: In a city there was a judge who neither feared God nor regarded man; and in that city there was a widow who came to him to appeal for justice against her adversary. For a while he would not: but eventually he surmised, Though I have neither reverence for God, nor regard for man; yet because this widow bothers me, I will see that she gets justice, lest she wears me out by her continual coming. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge said. And will not God vindicate His elect, who plead with Him day and night? Will He delay long over them? I tell you He will vindicate them speedily. But the question is, when the Son of man comes, will He find the faith on earth?"

Jesus is encouraging His elect to be persistent in prayer and steadfast in the faith, which is the confident assurance of the actual existence of things hoped for, the conviction of unseen realities. The revelation for which Jesus sought was faith in His 'parousia' Coming, faith by which His end-time Bride will change in the atoms without death as He raised and glorified His own Body by faith in the Word (John 2:19; Psalm 16:10; Ephesians 1:17-23).

When the Son of man returned (past tense) after the close of the Laodicean Church Age which terminated His mediation in the Office of Son of God, He found this persistent, substance faith in one man, the "angel" to the Laodicean Church Age, behind whose humble ministry God veiled Himself and revealed Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever — raising the dead, healing the sick, casting out demons, restoring sight to the blind, and "discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart. . . as it was in the days of Lot" (Genesis 18; Hebrews 4:12; Luke 17:30). His ministry was not done in a secret place, but around the world and before congregations of hundreds of thousands.

This was William Branham through whom the Lord indicted Rome and her (once) Protestant daughters and "vindicated His elect" in the exposition of the Seven Church Ages and the Revelation of the Seven Seals, and whom He chose to stand in the breach between the Church Ages and the Seals after His ministry as Mediator between God and His elect was fulfilled, there to deliver "that which is perfect"—the fullness of the Word—the only means by which His end-time Bride can cross the chasm into the Kingdom, or be born-again. As Jesus told the Pharisees in Luke 17:20-21, the Kingdom of God or new birth is internal, not external. It is a revelation

While all of these Scriptures have been fulfilled or been in the process of fulfilment since 1963, the denominational church has been fulfilling Revelation 3:17-20, "and knows it not." The leaven of women preachers, acceptance of homosexuality in churches instead of its excision by Matthew 18:15-20, perverse immigration policies, feminism, allowing women to cut their hair, paint their faces, dress immodestly, go mixed bathing, smoke, drink alcohol; the oxy-moronic pursuit of "unity in diversity," ecumenism and interfaith meetings when there is but one faith which is the unchanging mind of God has leavened the whole lump.

The minister said "Yes" to our Lord's question in Luke 18:8. If he is able to respond as positively to the "shout" of the Message to Christ's end-time Bride he will receive "the faith of Jesus Christ . . . once delivered to the apostolic saints," and answer the call to a precious short work on the earth. nl525.htm

The Creation of God and His One Eternal Purpose - Part V

Bible Believers' Newsletter #524
"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.

In this, the tenth anniversary issue of Bible Believers' Church free weekly Newsletter, we declare there is no possibility of "peace on earth, goodwill toward men" for almost the next decade. Jesus "came not to bring peace on the earth, but to separate His elect and the saved from the lost by the sword of His Word":

"I have come to bring division, to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's foes will be of his own household. He who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who does not take his cross, and follow Me, is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life shall lose it: and he who loses His life for My sake shall find it" (Matthew 10:34-39).

The immediate world outlook is inflation, depression, and "killing by war, famine, disease and by wild beasts" (Gk. 'therion') — metaphorically, brutal, bestial men, reprobate concerning the faith (Revelation 6:8). Prepare yourself Spiritually; provide for your home materially and be watchful in every thing. We are entering times of lawlessness when only criminals and the ungodly can buy or receive "justice," and the worldly church system in league with the 'hidden hand' is the 'therion' of the pale horse ridden by Satan. Revelation 13, 17 and 18 identify the beast, his image and their companions in your country.

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

US Food Riots much closer than You Think
October 23, 2007 – Up until the 1980s there was a system that stored a lot of grain in elevators around the country. At one time, a whole year's harvest of grain was stored that way. But since taxpayers were paying to store it, certain urban politicians engineered the movement of that money from providing a safety net or backup for their own food supply in order to give the money to various other social welfare things. So now, nothing is stored. We produce what we consume each year and store practically none of it. There is no contingency plan. . .

It's likely too late for the government to do anything to prepare for such an event, so it probably won't do any good to try to lobby them for a solution. . . They're more concerned with urban political issues and helping (or invading -ed) other countries than they are about preserving the security of their own food supply. . . Full story: rense.com

Chemtrails, Morgellons, Weather and Mind-Control, Depopulation
Futuristic engagement systems and techniques such as holographic projection, noise and gravity fields, biomedical operations, psychological operations, military deception, and information attack are all possible. These innovative indirect means are discussed in the classified C2 and Information Attack white papers. As a complement to those indirect techniques, this paper focuses on target engagements that use direct attacks with lethal and nonlethal power.(58)

Did you catch that? What do they mean by "biomedical operations," "holographic projection," "noise and gravity fields," or some of the other terms? These terms have to do with classified information about "getting into the head" of a person, and command and control (C2). Modern attacks on C2 degrades the enemy’s ability to make the best decisions and makes them change their decision without them realizing that they were ever manipulated.(59)

There is a saying: life mirrors art. Let’s go back to the original chapter we discussed.

Twelve Answers to Questions No One is bothering to ask About Iraq
April 20, 2008 – Can there be any question that, since the invasion of 2003, Iraq has been unraveling? And here's the curious thing: Despite a lack of decent information and analysis on crucial aspects of the Iraqi catastrophe, despite the way much of the Iraq story fell off newspaper front pages and out of the TV news in the last year, despite so many reports on the "success" of the President's surge strategy, Americans sense this perfectly well. In the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll, 56% of Americans "say the United States should withdraw its military forces to avoid further casualties" and this has, as the Post notes, been a majority position since January 2007, the month that the surge was first announced. Imagine what might happen if the American public knew more about the actual state of affairs in Iraq—and of thinking in Washington. So, here, in an attempt to unravel the situation in ever-unraveling Iraq are twelve answers to questions which should be asked far more often in this country. . .

Great Flood proven by Mayan Calendar
Joseph Scaliger (1540-1609), a scholar of immense ability . . . rightly recognised that the calendar as it now stands, i.e. the Gregorian Calendar which was introduced in Europe in 1582, and which he heavily criticised, was a somewhat cumbersome apparatus with which to reconstruct the chronology of past events. Its very complexity lent itself to mistakes, whilst its inherent inaccuracies lent themselves to yet further inaccuracies. So he decided to solve the problem, and his solution was as ingenious as it was simple. Instead of an event being said to have occurred at such a date in such a year BC or AD, it would henceforth be said to have occurred on a certain numbered day.

From which point in time should this day count begin? The answer was obvious. It should begin from Day 1 of the Creation. But when did Day 1 occur? Well, Scaliger (partially) solved the problem by turning his attention to the three basic units upon which virtually all workable calendars are based, namely, the Solar Cycle, the Metonic Cycle and the Roman Indiction.

In simple terms, the Solar Cycle is completed every 28 years, the Metonic Cycle every 19 years, and the Roman Indiction every 15 years. Scaliger realised that there must obviously be points in time when all three cycles begin and end together, so, noting carefully the age of each cycle at the moment when he began his calculations, he counted the years backwards until he came to that year when all three cycles began together. And that was the year 4713 BC.

Simple arithmetic then told him that the three cycles would only meet together in time every 7980 years (this figure being the product of 28 x 19 x 15), and given that they had begun together in 4713 BC, the period, which he named the Julian Period in honour of his father Julius, would not end until the close of the year AD 3267 (Encyclopaedia Britannica. 1985 ed. Vol. 15. p. 463).

This was an excellent and broad base upon which to build his system of chronology, and for convenience's sake Scaliger counted 1st January 4713 BC as Day 1, building up his chronology from there. However, the fact that the three cycles (Solar, Metonic and Roman Indiction) began in the year 4713 BC will hold a certain significance for creationists, for Genesis is quite clear on the matter when it tells us that, apart from their light-giving properties, the solar system and its backdrop of stars were created so that we could measure by them times and seasons, days and years. In other words, God had created a gigantic clock, and what more natural than that the Creator should start that clock ticking, as it were, at a setting that would measure the age of the universe as well as the more mundane passing of the seasons here on earth?

But, before we recklessly assume that Scaliger had all unwittingly stumbled across the true date for the Creation, we must remember that Scaliger based his calculations on the present values of the Solar and Metonic Cycles, or at least the values of these cycles as they stood in the year 1582/3. Creationists should be painfully aware by now that values today may not necessarily be the values of the past. This is constantly argued by creationists in refutation of the uniformitarian hypothesis. Much damage, disruption and mayhem has occurred which will undoubtedly have altered those values to an extent we can only guess at. On a local (planet earth) level, we have had the global Flood of Noah and other geological disasters to alter the rotation of the earth and hence the lengths of the day and year. The moon has suffered local catastrophes of its own affecting no doubt the length of the lunar month, and the universe in general has degenerated noticeably in its values during the past six thousand years or so simply through the inexorable workings of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. . .

Now, the Maya instituted a day count exactly like that which Scaliger devised in order to solve certain chronological and genealogical problems that they had come across whilst reconstructing their own ancient history. The unnerving aspect of this from the modernist point of view, however, is the fact that the Maya perfected their day count some six hundred years or more before Scaliger was even thought of. . .

If we correlate the Mayan day count with that of Scaliger, we find that the Mayan Day 1 began on Julian Day 584283 (Encyclopaedia Britannica. 1985 ed. Vol. 15. p. 474), which equals in our terms 10th August 3113 BC (I make that a Thursday) for the start of the Mayan day count. Now, the significance of this lies in the fact that although the Mayan concept of time was cyclic, they nevertheless knew that the world-destroying catastrophe that had closed the previous age was brought about by water, and that their own age had begun after that catastrophe. In other words, they looked back to the Flood as the close of the old age and the beginning of the new. And it is here that their day count takes on an immense significance. Scaliger's day count, we remember, took him back to the year 4713 BC, and it is more than probable that this corresponds roughly to the year of the Creation. The Mayans, however, did not begin their day count from the Creation, but from the Flood, and this event was set in their chronology, not Scaliger's, in the year 3113 BC, and subtracting 3113 from 4713 leaves us with a 1600 year period between the two dates for the Creation and the Flood, a period of time which corresponds remarkably closely to the 1656 year period set out so precisely in the Genesis record. Little wonder that this information is precluded these days by a cursory dismissal of Mayan mathematics and astronomy. If I were a modernist, I'd dismiss it too!

. . . not only did our ancient forebears look back, in pre-Christian times, to their descent from patriarchs that are named in the Table of Nations, but they also held that the earth was of recent creation and that it had once suffered a Flood. And they knew all this without any recourse to the book of Genesis, of which they were entirely unaware. In all, their records constitute a rather formidable body of evidence. (Bill Cooper, After the Flood pp. 124-129).

Comment: Of course "the day of creation" was "in the beginning" — perhaps trillions of years before the six days each of a thousand years in which God prepared earth for the habitation of life.

In his article, "The Significance of the Year 2012 Explained" Richard Lowe discusses the Mayan Calendar which ends in 2012. "During early 2001, the Sun's solar cycle was completed and the Sun switched magnetic poles, so the Sun is due for another cycle in the year 2012. Well, who cares if the Sun flips again? it flips every 11 years so why should the next flip be any different? The solar cycle of 2012 is more significant than any other for several reasons:

During this time the two biggest planets in our solar system, Saturn and Jupiter, will be in line with each other. The gravitational effects of the two planets on the Sun will cause it to wobble during it's pole shift. This can have huge effects on the magnitude of the Coronal Mass Ejections the Sun will be tossing into space. . . Since opposites attract, the Sun, along with it's gravitational influence from Saturn and Jupiter, may cause the Earth to switch magnetic poles too! With the magnetic field of the Earth switching in a matter of minutes, there can be huge disruptions in the Earth's geological and ecological system. It can cause mass earthquakes and volcano eruptions all over the world. After it's all done, compasses will point South, the Sun will rise in the West and set in the East.

The most far fetched possibility and probably the most catastrophic is the phenomenon called "polar wander." Polar wander is a result of the Earth's outer crust shifting at a rapid rate. The magnetic poles stay put but Antarctica becomes the equator and the tropics become the North Pole.

The final event that will occur on December 21, 2012 will be at 11:12 GMT. . . and it happens every 25,800 years. At that time our Sun will line up directly with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. . . Full story: helium.com.

Brother Branham said, "something's fixing to happen one of these days, something similar to that, when the five planets, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus, and so forth comes into their. . . They never have did it. Oh, they claim maybe twenty-five thousand years ago, but who was back there to know it?" (Communion, p. 14:74). The natural types the Spiritual: thirteen months later the seven stars of Revelation 1 formed a pyramid-shaped constellation, the Laodicean Church Age ended and Christ returned in the Office of Son of man according to Scripture.

Moon's gravitational attraction makes the ocean tides and at 5,000ft below sea level the pressure of salt water is 2182psi so it also distorts earth's crust. Thus, prior to the Great Flood there would have been no major earthquakes. We anticipate massive earthquakes that will sink Los Angeles, much of California, and split the mount of Olives, with volcanic eruptions throughout the Pacific ring of fire, and on the Moon.

Augustine was no Saint
Christianity arrived in Britain during the first century AD. The notation that Augustine brought Christianity to Britain is pure myth. He came here as the representative of the Pope and persuaded the Saxon kings to submit to Rome. There were mass baptisms all over the country as the Saxon people followed the example of their leaders. Then in 601 he went to Wales, expecting the same success, but was disappointed. The Welsh already had the true faith, given to them by the early church, and they did not need any new innovations from Rome.

Augustine demanded that the Britons should accept all the doctrines of the Roman Catholic church, although he offered them time to do it in piecemeal fashion, without converting to Roman Catholicism all at once. When they refused, he instigated the Saxon army to attack the monastery at Bangor-is-y-coed, killing 1200 monks and scholars [in AD604]. . .

From that day on there existed an animosity between the Britons (Welsh) and the papacy that was to ferment throughout the early to late Middle Ages, only to culminate in the eventual expulsion of the papal authority from the realm of England under king Henry VIII, who was significantly himself of Welsh Tudor stock. But the early ascendancy of the Saxons meant that all recorded history of Britons was consigned to oblivion as far as historians and chroniclers were concerned, with only Roman, Saxon and, later, Norman accounts of events being taught and promulgated in schools throughout the land. . .

Comment: The Roman Catholic church organized in the Pergamean Church Age (312-606) and took Europe into the Dark Ages in the Thyatira Church Age (606-1520).

In his book, After the Flood, Brother Bill Cooper says: "We are presented with the simple question as to why a two thousand year recorded history has been so pointedly ignored by modern scholars. Why is it that the history of Britain is an entirely blank page before the year 55BC in any conventional modern history book when such an easily accessible and informative record is at hand? Could it have anything to do with the fact that the Britons traced their ancestry in these pre-Christian records back to patriarchs that are known to us from the Genesis record but of whom the Britons should have known nothing in their pre-Christian culture if what the modernists have always told us was true? . . . there is much else besides regarding the histories and genealogies of other European peoples that is also ignored but which likewise verifies the Genesis account.

The Creation of God and His One Eternal Purpose - Part V


We are studying the new creation—of God Himself—not a second or third person, manifest in the glorified flesh of Jesus Christ and His Bride, who are the fullness of His glorious Attributes. Jesus Christ is the beginning of the creation of God Himself. As the Logos manifest in flesh the fulness of the "divine nature" or godhead dwells bodily in Him (Revelation 3:14; Colossians 2:9). This why Brother Branham said, "The greatest of all revelations is the supreme Deity of Jesus Christ".

As the first Adam was formed with his wife in him, Jesus Christ was begotten with His Wife in Him. As Attributes of the Logos, she came from the same source and is eternal with Him. Whereas He was the Word pre-manifested in theophany as the Tree of Life, Melchisedek, etc., (Genesis 2:9; 14:18) before He was flesh, we bypassed our theophany and came first into flesh to be tested by sin and proven as Attributes. Clearly, the Bible is the story of God unfolding Himself from the eternal Spirit alone with His thoughts to the flesh of His glorified Family—Jesus Christ and His Bride. This is God's one eternal purpose.

In this form He will be worshipped by the "saved" throughout eternity because we are God manifest. In this form also, the glorified 144,000 New Testament Israelites and Old Testament saints will serve Him. Together with their King and Queen, they are the elect of God that constitute the New Jerusalem. The root meaning from the Hebrew term for "city" means "to keep watch," and implies that the leading object of gathering into towns was for security against marauders. The Shekinah will watch over New Jerusalem, which will rule the "saved" non-elect dwelling around the circumference of the renewed earth, worship the new creation of God, tithe of their increase, never entering into the holy City.

Jerusalem means "vision or foundation of peace" as indicated by the Scripture and double line of faith upon what the City is built. True eternal security, inner peace and rest derive from the revelation you have heard your name called from the Lamb's Book of Life, from which it can never be erased. John 5:24, "I assure you, He that hears My Word, and believes on Him that sent Me, has eternal Life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed out of death into Life." Jesus was not speaking of the "letter" but what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the elect and Word-born Church, it is new birth, to the nominal church it is rebuke and correction.

Author Bill Cooper wrote, "It is commonly thought in this present age that nothing is worthy of our belief unless first it can be scientifically demonstrated and observed to be true. This idea, known today as empiricism, has been around since the 1920s, and says basically that nothing is to be taken on trust. and that anything which lacks direct corroboration must be discarded from mankind's fund of knowledge as simply not knowing. Not surprisingly, a special case was made by those who had thought of the idea for including the Bible in this great process of deselection, and it was assumed without further enquiry that nothing in especially the earlier portions of the biblical record could be demonstrated to be true and factual. This applied particularly to the book of Genesis. There all was relegated, by modernist scholars at least, to the realms of myth and fiction, with very little of its contents being said to bear any relevance at all to 20th-century man. Not even a moral relevance was granted. In other words, we were solemnly assured in the light of modern wisdom that historically speaking, the book of Genesis was simply not worth the paper it was written on" (After the Flood, p. 10).

Intellectuals try to reason with the "letter" that can be seen, and with material substance that may be heard, touched, smelt or tasted, or reasoned by mathematics, whereas "Faith is the confident assurance of the actual existence of things hoped for, the conviction of unseen realities. . ." tested by the Word (Hebrews 11:3).

Brother Branham said, "Have you ever noticed how Satan hates two books of the Bible more than all others? Through liberal theologians and pseudo-scientists he is always attacking the Book of Genesis and the Book of Revelation. In both of these books we find Satan's origin, his awful ways and his destruction. That is why he attacks them. He hates to be exposed, and in those books he is exposed for exactly what he is. Jesus said about Satan, "He has no part in Me and I have no part in him." The Devil would like to prove that different; but he cannot, so he does all he can to destroy confidence in the Word. But when the church disbelieves Satan and believes the Spirit's revelation of the Word, the gates of hell cannot prevail against her" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 14:4).

The first Eve was deceived and beguiled by the Serpent when she let Satan misinterpret one word. Genesis 3:1-4, "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Hath God said, "You shall not eat of any tree of the garden"? And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: but God said, "You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die." And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die".

According to Revelation 22:17-19, the last Eve will say only what the Spirit says. She will neither add to not take from Brother Branham's THUS SAITH THE LORD, for this Book is the complete revelation of Jesus Christ whom the Seven Seals brought back to earth in W-O-R-D form at the end of time. Unfortunately the foolish virgin in our ranks, being justified and sanctified by faith in God's unchanging Word but not born-again, have received the hiss of the serpent by adding human reasoning to the "letter" of the prophet's Message.

Brother Branham said, "Like the Dutchman, you take me for what I mean and not what I say." So we understand that when he said, "Say what the tapes say. Say what the visions say," he did not intend us to parrot the "letter only" but to filter his Message through God's unchanging Word from Genesis to Revelation just as we follow the apostolic saints and filter the Words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:19 through the whole Bible, obeying what He meant, not what He said, and baptizing in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Brother Branham said, "I only work by revelation; the revelation has to be the Word. If it isn't according to the Word, then it's a wrong revelation." Yet fine people within the circle of this Message echo the hiss of the Serpent when they reason, "Hath God said" there is no Two Souls; or no Return Ministry? "Hath the Prophet said" the word 'parousia'? that the Seven Thunders are revealed? or that the Laodicean Church Age has ended? The answers to all these questions are found in the Bible, whose mystery was unlocked by the "shout" of the end-time Message.

We will now consider two other groups: the non-elect "saved," whose names were not in the Lamb's Book of Life, but are in the Book of Life and who will be our subjects in the Kingdom; and those whose names have been blotted out from the Book of Life and are the "lost".

Brother Branham said, "As Israel (chosen people of God) in majority forfeited their rights in the Book of Life by rejecting Jesus, so the majority of the Gentile church will also come into condemnation with the resultant removal of their names from the Book of Life by rejecting the Word and thereby entering into the world ecumenical movement which is the image erected unto the beast. . ."

"You have a perfect type of that in Israel leaving Egypt. They came out about two million strong. ALL escaped through the sacrificial blood. ALL were baptized in the Red Sea; ALL came up out of the water enjoying Holy Spirit manifestation and blessings; ALL ate angel food; ALL drank of the rock that followed them. Yet except for a very few they were naught but carriers for the children who should follow them and go into Canaan land. All Israel is NOT Israel. And all but a tiny minority had their names blotted out of the Book of Life."

(Moses led Israel out of Egyptian bondage in the first exodus; Paul led the Church out of apostate Israel in the second exodus, and the "Shout" of Brother Branham's Message is calling Christ's end-time Bride out from the apostate church in the third exodus — I Thessalonians 4:16; Matthew 25:6; Revelation 18:4).

"We have the same right today in the church. Names are going to be blotted out of the Book of Life. No names will be blotted out of the Book of Eternal Life for that is another record though contained in the Book of Life. THIS IS THE RECORD: GOD HATH GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. HE THAT HATH THE SON HATH LIFE (ETERNAL) AND HE THAT HATH NOT THE SON HATH NOT LIFE (ETERNAL). And those who have that Life were in HIM before the foundation of the world. THEY WERE CHOSEN IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. That GREAT ROYAL SEED, Jesus Christ, was planted (He died) and that life that was in Him came up through the wheat plant and is reproducing itself in multitudes of wheat seeds having the same life in them, and being like the Original because by Spirit they are original" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, pp. 274:2; 284:1-2).

As in the previous Church Ages, there are three kinds of believers within the circle of this end-time Message. There is the elect believer who was represented as an Attribute of the Logos in Christ on Calvary; their names are in the Lamb's Book of Life. There is the non-elect make-believer of Adam's race, whose name remains in the Book of Life and who is "saved" and will be granted into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment, and there is the un-believer whose names have been removed from the Book of Life, or being physical Serpent's seed were never in the Book of Life, and are the LOST.

It should be clearly understood by everyone in the circle of this Message that very few of our number are elect. That is most of our number are not in the Lamb's Book of Life because God foreknew they would not exercise the zeal required to "search the Scriptures daily, whether their understanding of the Message is so" (Acts 17:11). As Brother Branham said, Not only are they not elect and in the Lamb's Book of Life, but "All but a tiny minority [will have] their names blotted out of the Book of Life."

Don't look for the foolish virgin in churches outside this Message; most of those you'll see are "denominational harlots" of Revelation 17:5. Now is the hour to "give diligence to make your calling and election sure" by "studying to show yourself approved of God, rightly dividing the Word of Truth" (II Peter 1:10; II Timothy 2:15).

Mankind is not evolving but has been devolving since the Fall. This ought to be obvious owing to the inexorable workings of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. And God having redeemed an election has set aside a group who are the "saved," and consigned earth, its creatures and the works therein to be returned to the elements by fire as Scripture informs us from Genesis to Revelation.

Brother Bill Cooper wrote, ". . . we must first allow that many of our preconceptions regarding ancient man are mistaken. It is commonly supposed, for example, that the nations of the world became aware of the God of Genesis only after they were evangelised by Christian missionaries. Only since the translation of the scriptures into their own language, it is assumed, did they become conscious of the Creation and the God who created it. It is further supposed that early pagan man can have had no concept of a divinity higher than that of an idol, because it is impossible to come to a knowledge of the one true God without that knowledge being given through the direct revelation of His Word, and so on. Popular thought seems never to have considered the possibility that pagan man was indeed aware of God and of His attributes and power, and that this awareness had existed and flourished for centuries without any recourse at all to the scriptures. So it is with something of a surprise that we meet with exactly that, a profound knowledge and appreciation of an eternal and almighty Creator God, His fatherhood of the human race and His infinite attributes in the writings of various historians in the ancient world and amongst the teachings of the earliest philosophers. It is of the utmost importance that we familiarise ourselves with this truth . . ."

"So profound was the concept and knowledge of God amongst certain pagan peoples in the ancient world, and in particular the Greek and Roman worlds, that a controversy eventually arose and was to rage for many centuries between those who propagated and preserved that knowledge of God as the Creator, and those who sought to destroy it by attributing the creation of the universe to purely natural forces. The marked similarity between that pagan controversy and the controversy that rages today between creationists and evolutionists is surprising and we . . . must understand something of the sheer profundity of the pagan philosophical concept of the one true God. We meet with it in places as distant from each other as the world is wide, and among cultures as socially and politically diverse as those of ancient Greece and China. For example, it is from the writings of the Taoist Lao-tzu, who flourished in the China of the 6th century BC, that the following profound statement concerning the existence and some of the attributes of God is taken:"



'Before time, and throughout time, there has been a self-existing being, eternal, infinite, complete; omnipresent ... Outside this being, before the beginning, there was nothing.'
"It was clearly from no copy of Genesis that Lao-tzu could possibly have derived such an awareness of God. But then as other pagan philosophers from different cultures altogether were to add their convictions to that of the Chinese sage Lao-tzu, (and that takes no account of all those who lived before him), it becomes immediately obvious that no such copy was necessary. It would seem that, contrary to most of the assumptions of modern psychology on the matter, the knowledge of God is in fact and indeed innate within the human soul. It is a built-in awareness that may well be awakened and perfected with the reception of God's Word, but it is certainly something that exists quite independently of a knowledge of scripture. That is not to say that it was admitted to or proclaimed equally by all men in the ancient world. Many, of course, denied it just as they deny it today. . ." (ibid pp. 15-17).

In Romans 1:17-32 Paul traces the devolution of humanity from the knowledge of the revelation of God to wilful ignorance through the conceit of human wisdom. He demonstrates that unlike the animals, man has innate conscience "Showing that what the Law requires is written in their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them" (Romans 2:13-16).

Romans 1:17-25, ". . . the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. On the other hand, God's indignation is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness; because whatever can be known regarding God is plainly recognized and known among them; for God has shown it to them." Paul is speaking of the knowledge of God through creation which preceded the development of heathenism. This external revelation in the creation proclaims God's wisdom and goodness (Romans 1:20). Then also there is the innate internal revelation to the reason and conscience of every man (Acts 17:22-29; Romans 2:15; John 1:9). This nature-given faith is confirmed and completed by a Spiritual revelation of God's Word and in the Person and completed work of the risen Christ which exhibits God's Attributes of justice, holiness and love.

The revelation of God's indignation from heaven in penal righteousness upon Israel in the Law of sin and death preceded the revelation of His grace in justifying righteousness through the Gospel as the power of God for salvation (Matthew 3:16-17; 16:13 – 17:13). The complete revelation of ungodliness appeared at the New Testament revelation of grace when the world's guilt reached its climax in the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ.

However the revelation of wrath poured out in the seven Trumpet and Vial Judgments is progressive as well as historical, in opposition to which the progressive revelation of the righteousness of salvation in the Gospel acquires its perfect clarity and significance through the unveiling of the seven Church Ages and Seals. Because spirits do not die, "the wicked will do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand," so the world cannot become a better place before the Millennium when Satan is bound. However, "the wise shall understand," and although our numbers have diminished with each passing age, "grace and peace have been multiplied unto us through the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord," as we grow into the unity of the faith and put on the divine nature.

"Ungodliness" is the absence of reverence for God, whereas the "unrighteousness of men" is the corresponding iniquity against God's laws in the lives of men universally who withhold the revelation of His Word.

"From the time of the creation of the world His invisible Attributes such as His eternal power and divine nature, have been made visible and understood through the things that are made. So they are without excuse: because although they had knowledge of God they did not honour Him as the one true God (in opposition to the false gods whom the heathens worshipped), or render the praise and thanks due to Him. Instead, they indulged in futile thoughts, reasonings and speculations, and their senseless minds were darkened".

Omnipotence reveals the Attributes of God "through the things that are made"—His works; and worship has its root in the feeling of dependence on the Supernatural power of the Almighty (Genesis 17:1; Exodus 6:3). The invisible becomes visible not to the eyes, but as something known and perceptible to reason. The pagan knowledge of God through the revelation of Him in His works, although only partial and fragmentary, is sufficient to leave those who possess it with no ground on which to excuse ignorance and designed neglect of God. The world was not ignorant of God at the outset; its ignorance is the result and punishment of its great sin of neglect. They lost even their imperfect knowledge because they did not raise it to faith through the labour of the heart (Matthew 13:12). Choosing to devise vanities (Acts 14:15) rather than to retain God in their knowledge their foolish hearts and minds became Dark, losing what little Light they once owned. They were not wanting in worship, but "worship in Spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). This was the beginning of heathendom as idolatry traces back to sin, which is unbelief in the revealed Word of God.

"Claiming to be wise, they became foolish and exchanged the glory of the immortal God into images of mortal man, and birds, and animals, and reptiles."

The assumption of wisdom is always associated with alienation from the truth of God. Their folly was in proportion to their boast of wisdom, for there can be no greater folly than to worship a beast rather than God (I Corinthians 1:19-25; 3:19; 8:1; Proverbs 16:18).

Having abandoned the contemplation of God's real glory communicated through the Spiritual contemplation of the creation, later manifested to Israel in the Shekinah in exalted moments of vision, and which was finally unveiled to we Gentiles in the righteousness of Christ for faith—men universally exchanged God's glory for idols; Israel for the lewdness of the Babylonian Talmud, and Christendom for hedonism, narcissism, nihilism and humanistic materialism which is Judaeo-communism.

Brother Branham writes: "Historians such as Wilkinson and Mallett have proven conclusively from the ancient documents that at one time all the peoples of the earth believed in ONE GOD, supreme, eternal, invisible, Who by the Word of His mouth spoke all things into existence, and that in His character He was loving and good and just. But as Satan will always corrupt whatever he can, we find him corrupting the minds and hearts of men so that they reject the truth. As he has always attempted to receive worship as though he were God and not the servant and creation of God, he drew worship away from God to the end that he might draw it unto himself and so be exalted. He certainly did accomplish his desire to spread his religion throughout the whole world. This is authenticated by God in the Book of Romans, "When they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, until they became vain in their imaginations, and through darkness of heart accepted a corrupted religion to the extent that they worshipped creatures and not the Creator."

"Remember, Satan was a creature of God (Son of the Morning). Thus we find that where once truth was disseminated amongst men, and all held to that one truth, there later came a day when a vast group turned from God and spread a diabolical form of worship around the world. History bears it out that those of the tribe of Shem that stood with the unchanging truth were in solid opposition to those of Ham who turned away from truth to the devil's lie" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 183:1).

"Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their own hearts to such impurity as dishonoured their own bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed throughout eternity. Amen".

Idolatry is spiritual adultery and leads to moral whoredom (Numbers 25; Ezekiel 23). Thus heathen worship is connected in various ways with the practice or even the worship of lust, and their bodies already dishonoured by natural lewdness, lost their dignity as temples of God and are degraded into instruments of sensual lust (I Corinthians 3:17; 6:15-20). God withdrew in retribution for their moral condition, and by this judicial act allowed them to walk in their own ways. Since without God's Spirit they will be unable to control the lusts of their heart, they will be delivered over to a still worse moral condition as the sins of the mind become sins of the flesh (Psalm 81:13; 147:20; Acts 14:16).

Romans 1:26-32, "For this cause God gave them up to shameful passions. Their women exchanged natural functions for unnatural, and the men forsook their natural relationships with women and burned in their lust one for one another; men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the recompense due to their error. And as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, so God gave them over to depraved thoughts, to practice that which is indecent, because they have been filled with all manner of wickedness, fornication, covetousness, malice; crammed with envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, malignity; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without conscience, fidelity, natural affection or pity. While knowing God's decree—that those practicing such things deserve to die—they not only do them but give their approval to those who do them".

When Israel exchanged the truth of God for a lie, the Lord destroyed that kingdom and scattered the people. When Judah did likewise, He razed the temple, destroyed the City and exiled the créme of the people captive to Babylon. There they exacerbated their apostasy by superimposing the philosophy of the Babylonian Merchantile Code over Yahweh Torah to create Pharisaism which is Talmudism or Judaism. This caused them to crucify Messiah, and God turned to we Gentiles, "to purify (not replace) our souls by faith," and "take out of them a Bride for His Name" (Acts 15:7-15; Isaiah 11:10). Since then they have been overcome by their mortal enemy and peddle filth throughout the world.

When Rome exchanged the truth about God for a lie, God gave them up to the lie of sexual lusts. This is graphically illustrated in the prominent exposure of homosexuality and pederasty within the Roman priesthood. During his United States tour this week, Pope Benedict XVI apologised to some of their victims. ABC Radio National's Religion Report questioned whether the Pope will apologize to victims when he visits Sydney for World Youth Day, and named some ex-priests guilty of abusing hundreds, one of over a thousand boys.

The anointing for Brother Branham's Elijah ministry was withheld until the conditions foretold in Luke 17:26-30, II Thessalonians 2:3-12, and II Timothy 4:4 were fulfilled. He indicted the whole world for exchanging the truth of God for a lie, and His Message is calling the wise and foolish virgin out from Rome and her (once) Protestant daughters into the unity of the faith before God smites earth with a curse. Today the world is immersed in sin, and as punishment for exchanging the truth of God for a lie, He has given them up to desecrating the temple of their own bodies. People paint, pierce, tattoo and parade their flesh. Australia has an openly homosexual judge, the United States has Slick Willy, the reputedly depraved George I and II, vice president Cheney and his lesbian daughters, and an alleged lesbian is campaigning for president, "as it was in the days of Lot".

Sin is punished by sin, as virtue is rewarded by virtue. Yet God's judicial abandonment has not taken away the free moral agency and responsibility of these deviants who have been carried away by their own corrupt nature which has overridden the Law of Life. They have regressed from wicked passions to wicked acts, and from these to wicked characters in whom the inclination for what is good is extinguished; and from these, to wicked maxims.

Apostasy from Christianity is worse than heathenism. Whereas heathen corruptions were produced and sanctioned by the heathen mythology and idolatry, Christian nations are corrupt in spite of and in direct opposition to Christianity, which raises the highest standard of virtue, and acts continually on the world as a purifying power. The moral and spiritual state of the world signifies the end of grace, which will take place when the last Gentile predestinated to Christ's Bride has heard their name called from the Lamb's Book of Life and taken his or her place in the Word.

The Lamb's Book of Life is the record of God's foreknowledge of the offspring of the last Adam, Jesus Messiah. It occupies a section in the Book of Life of the first Adam and is the record of the elect of his race whose souls have been quickened or born a second time by the Word of God. These are Attributes of the Logos who were accounted crucified in Christ on Calvary. This Book was compiled from the foundation of the World and contains only names. Since they are Attributes of the Logos, not one of these names can be removed, and none can be added (Revelation 22:18-19).

The Book of Life is the record of God's foreknowledge of the natural offspring of the first Adam. It contains only names and was compiled at the foundation of the World. No names can be added to this Book, but by the consummation of life at Armageddon the vast majority of names will have been blotted from the Book, and their owners will ultimately be cast into the lake of Fire, which is the second death, the annihilation of the soul.

Those with the opportunity of election are they who hear the Word for their hour. Those who refuse it reject the Holy Spirit, which is the "unforgivable sin" resulting in the removal of their name from the Book of Life. Those who do not attain to the high calling of election but maintain their status as justified and sanctified are "foolish virgin" and "saved."

Denominational teaching of salvation is good psychology and good for business, however, it exchanges the truth of God for a lie. In God's foreknowledge, the last Adam was slain as KINSMAN Redeemer for the first Adam, the sum of whose offspring were potentially in Adam when God formed him from the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7). God's law of redemption requires a near kinsman to satisfy the outstanding obligation of his relative with an identical substitute, which in this case called for the surrender His own life to save the lives of Adam and his seed (I John 3:8; Leviticus 25; Ruth).

The denominational presumption is fourfold:



They imagine the "lost" can be "saved" whereas only those whose names were written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world are "saved." Because they are in Adam's race these were all born "saved" from their mother's womb; they remain "saved" so long as their names are in the Book of Life and will be granted into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment.

John 1:29, "Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." Potentially He could remit the sins of the totality of Adam's race alone, as His blood was not shed for those who were never in the Book of Life. But ultimately His blood could only be applied to believing penitents in Adam's race.

John 19:28-30, "Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. . . said, It is finished". See I John 3:8.

I John 2:1-2, "My little children in Christ, (not Jews), I write these things that you sin not. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world" of souls in Adam's race. We may trust this Advocate who although righteous Himself is the Agent accomplishing the propitiation or expiation that exists in His Person which comprises the High Priest and the Sacrifice. This propitiation is universal without exception, for "the whole world [of Adam's race] lies in wickedness" (I John 5:19).


They confuse "salvation" with new birth, overlooking election and the distinction between the nine dispensations within the Gentile dispensation, and the fact that there are three steps by grace through faith to "eternal security" which is the new birth (Ephesians 4:30).

The first step once they have received a revelation of the true oneness of the godhead and Christ's propitiation is the confession of past unbelief and baptism in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of past sins as a public testimony of justification by grace through faith.

The second step is that they should forsake their former ways and live according to His every Word. Sanctification is the constant washing of water by an ongoing revelation of God's Word, cleansing us for Scriptural holiness as we receive correction. So long as one's name (or soul) is sanctified it will remain "saved" in the Book of Life, and be granted into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment.

The third step in grace is the new birth. Very few people take this third step, either because they are dilatory and slothful, or because they never encounter what Peter called "the present Truth." God is only writing epistles of the Light He is manifesting now (I John 1:7; II Peter 2:12). He revealed a particular measure of Word and Spirit to each Age by the Message of the "angel" to the Age. These Messages in their fullness are called "the Seven Thunders" or seven Voices of God to the New Testament saints. "He authorised as many as recognized their day and whose lives manifest its Message to become the Sons of God" (John 1:12).


They teach that all can be "saved." It is important you recognize that Adam's kinsman Redeemer cannot redeem the Serpent's seed because He is not their near kinsman. Those born in Cain's lineage were never in the Book of Life. Like the mule or the liger they are not part of God's creation, and since God cannot redeem or "buy back" what was never His they are born "lost." Their leaders are aware of this, which explains why they are at "enmity" with Adam's race (Genesis 3:15), why they hate Jesus Messiah and could not contemplate Him as their Redeemer.


They teach that the only means of salvation is by justification and sanctification through faith in Christ. But what of those in Adam's race who have never encountered the Word of God, much less the Word for their hour? What of the billions who lived before there was a Jesus Christ. Are these all "lost"? Our gracious God has made provision whereby many will be justified by their works (Matthew 25:31-46; I Corinthians 3:15; I Timothy 5:24; Revelation 14:13):

The Israelites under the Fifth Seal retain their names on the Book of Life by surrendering their life in martyrdom for their testimony of Moses and adherence to the Law. God allowed their denominational leaders to blind them to Old Testament prophecy (Jeremiah 31:31-34) so that we could receive grace in under the New Covenant. The elect Israelites received Messiah and were born-again; these non-elect, justified by their faith in the Old Covenant will be granted into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment (Exodus 20:6; Matthew 24:9-11; Revelation 6:9-11).

Those who have been good and kind to the Bride retain their names on the Book of Life by virtue of the fact that in honouring Christ's Wife they have honoured Him, thereby justifying and sanctifying their names under the blood by His grace (Matthew 25:31-46).

Those who will be martyred during the tribulation for refusing to take the mark of the beast or to serve Rome's will, thereby retain their names on the Book of Life—Buddhists, Muslims, Hindu. Baptist, come who may. God honours their moral stance (Revelation 13:16-18).

And, of course, all live births in Adam's race that die under the age of accountability are "saved".


Brother Branham was asked a question about time of Daniel's Seventieth Week when God has returned to Israel: "Is it true that every Jew born since Christ that came into the world is to be saved"?

He replied: "No. Nothing will be saved, only those whose names were put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world, Jew or Gentile. See? That's all; the Book holds that mystery, and the Book is only unfolding it now, not each one's name, but what the mystery of the Book is while it's calling those names" (The Exposition of the Seven Seals, p. 473:2-3).

No one will be "saved" by grace through faith during the tribulation as this is "the day of vengeance of our God" (Isaiah 61:2; 63:4; Ezekiel 43:10). Millions of the "saved" will be LOST as their names are blotted from the Book of Life. Whereas the foolish virgin are justified and sanctified by grace through faith before grace ends, others who retain their names on the Book will preserve their salvation by "works" as martyrs for the truth of God (Matthew 16:25; James 2:18).

The 144,000 elect Israelites will not be "saved" during the tribulation. Being in Adam's race they were born "saved" and were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary because they are predestinated to receive the fullness of the revealed Word like Christ's end-time Bride. On the other hand, the saints from Pentecost to Laodicea could not be fully redeemed on the Cross because the Book was sealed to the end of Laodicea and as they possessed only PART-Word they required Christ's mediation for their errors through ignorance of the fullness in order to be born-again.

Soon the new creation of God Himself will be complete, then He will gather all of His Attributes in clouds of glory. And after the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the Sky we will take dominion over earth and its creatures, build and inhabit, plant and eat the fruit of our labours through a thousand years of peace. Then comes the general resurrection and we will judge and rule the nations "with a rod of iron," thereafter we shall rejoice in the completion of God's one eternal purpose in the new heavens and new earth. nl524.htm
