Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are pleased you could join us in fellowship.
Jesus prophesied, "Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." That is, until the consummation. Then He will return as Son of David with the saints of all ages and step out on the atomic ashes of the wicked for a thousand years of peace (Isaiah 24:21-22; Daniel 9:27; Malachi 4:1; Revelation 20:4-7).
"There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars" (Isaiah 34:4; Joel 2:10; Revelation 6:12) at the close of the Gentile dispensation, which will end seven years before "the times of the Gentiles" with a complete interruption of nature at the manifestation of the Sixth Seal, Seventh Trumpet and Seventh Vial. Earthquakes will sink Los Angeles and 1,500x300-400 miles of California, cleave the mount of Olives and demolish the Dome of the Rock, and lunar volcanoes will turn the moon red as blood, while the sun will be dark.
"And upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity"—without resources, without strategy and not knowing which way to turn, the nations—not individual Christians—will be distressed and utterly confused, as George Orwell warned when he disclosed the plans of the 'Hidden Hand.' Everything is topsyturvy; morality has been jettisoned and ethics reversed. As Alice in Wonderland and the Jesuits say, "truth is whatever you want it to be": black is white, wrong is right, lies are truth and the ends justify the means. Multiculturalism with its curse of miscegenation has so divided the world there is no homogeneity within nations; all are being sucked into the vortex of chaos Satan has conspired to conjure his totalitarian new world order. Brother Branham said, "the world is going insane".
Australian politicians, having made their constituents guarantor for Rothschild and Rockefeller-owned banks that on the basis of derivatives obligations versus equity (2008) are technically insolvent, like decapitated chickens, propose to borrow untold billions from the foreign owners of the same banks for imprudent nonproductive spending that will buy votes while creating a nation of peasants indebted to foreign usurers. One is led to wonder, are there politicians anywhere who are not servants of the City of London, the Vatican or the Black Nobility?
"The roaring of the sea and the [tidal] waves" generated by the earthquake that sinks Los Angeles, will sweep the earth, sinking ships, devastating islands, coastlands and ports, causing "Men's hearts to fail for dread in apprehension [of nuclear war], and for what is coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven will be shaken [when Satan is cast down to earth] (Isaiah 14:12; Revelation 12:7-12). Then Israel shall see [the sign of] the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man in a cloud with power and great glory" (Matthew 24:3,30-31; Revelation 1:7; 11:19. The sign of His 'parousia' Coming to we Gentiles "as a thief in the night" manifest over Arizona, USA on February 28, 1963). "And when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; for your [full] redemption draws nigh." For the Gentile dispensation will be over and Christ will have turned to Israel for Daniel's Seventieth Week (Luke 21:25-28).
We are almost there, and churchgoers who know nothing of Christ's 'parousia' Coming are looking in vain for the return of that Man from Galilee (Matthew 24:22-28; I Thessalonians 5:1-5).
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.

Jesuit Presidency
February 4, 2009 – "Pope Blesses Obama" was the title of a report in the National Post, concerning what is apparently the first time a Pope has blessed the American Presidency.
New US president Barak Obama has surrounded himself with Jesuit trained confidants:
His Vice-President is Roman Catholic Joe Biden. Mike Strautmanis, a senior legal counsel to Obama presidential team, is Jesuit trained. Obama's Chicago mentor is Gregory Galluzzo, a 'former' Jesuit priest. Obama's Chief Speechwriter, Jon Favreau, was Jesuit-trained. Obama's Senior Military and Foreign Policy Advisor, Maj. Gen. J. Scott Gration, was Jesuit-trained. Obama's Deputy Communications Director, Dan Pfeiffer, was Jesuit-trained (Codeword Barbelon, by P.D. Stuart).
The significance of this is enormous. It is the fulfillment of a 200 year strategy which involves ownership and command of America's finances, law courts, military, media, entertainment and pharmaceutical industries. Most Americans won't want this. But the coup will have been achieved. . . Full story: beforeus.com

Comment: Disgraced former Florida judge now Congressman Alcee Hastings (D. Fla) introduced this bill two days after the inauguration of President Barack Hussein Soetoro, confirming the words of disgraced President FDR: "If something happens in politics, you can bet it was planned that way." And the substance of this Bill, whose true objective is to detain those who refuse to obey Rome or accept the mark of the beast, which is her trinity dogma, was "planned" nigh fifty years ago.
In 1963 Brother Branham said, "if your church is not in this Council of Churches, in time of trouble they can use your church to store ammunition or anything they want to. And if any man is caught having a prayer for anybody, outside of affiliating with this Council of Churches, he can be shot, as a federal offense. That's right. I got the papers on it from Washington. They're going to force you into it. That's why I've been against this organizational system. That's it. I had to keep quiet about it being the mark of the beast, but it's late enough now till you can know it's the truth" (Just Once More Lord, p. 10:52).
Already 800 staffed internment camps, each accommodating 20,000, and one in Alaska able to accommodate two million await non-trinitarian refuseniks and other dissidents of Rome's Babylonian theology, iron will, and (once) Protestant image.

When Eagles Flock
February 5, 2009 – Abuse of power under the color of authority is nothing new. However, it has grown geometrically for a long time. I used to think the big push by the controllers started in 1913 but it really probably started with Lincoln.
The oligarchy that controls us is not partisan . . . but they are serious as a heart attack and insidious as cancer. The media that is "supposed" to be our watch dog has become an enabling co-conspirator.
"That the several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General Government . . . whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force; that to this compact each State acceded as a State. . ."

A Shadow Government
"A democratic New World Order isn't the ultimate goal at all. In itself it would be a contradiction in terms" (Tilman Evers, German Evangelical Adult Education).
A constitutional state is characterised by the fact that one is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and by the fact that a group of people someone may not like cannot be arbitrarily taken into preventative custody. The United States possesses a beautiful constitution according to which everyone has a right to be happy in the way he best sees fit. America is proud of being a country of free speech. After 9/11 however, something crucial changed. George W. Bush has discarded 'habeas corpus' and the Geneva Conventions, justified torture and secret trials, damned critics as anti-American, and is responsible for over one million deaths of Iraqi civilians.
Matters, no matter how big or small, are now being handled at very high security levels, to the point at which individual civil and human rights are being violated. After 9/11, President George W. Bush formed a shadow government consisting of non-chosen state officials, without consulting publicly appointed representatives (Democrats and Republicans). Instead, he only sought the support of the military. Not one member of the legislative or judicial branch was involved or even aware of this shadow government. In the mountainous east of the US, a provisional government centre was formed and headquartered in October 2001. Consequently, high officials, those directly under the members of cabinet, were temporarily transferred to the new shadow headquarters, each in turn, for a period of three months. This dark and secret government consists of 75 to 150 employees belonging to the legislative power. Judicial documents have been discovered that show that these people were all given mandates belonging to the judicial branch. This setup is completely contrary to the division of power laid out in the country's constitution. The secret government consists of people authorised to give orders to the military and police services. With this 'new government' in place, both the authority of the publicly recognized legislative and judicial branches are overlooked and disregarded. Can such a system be called anything but an open dictatorship?
The Bush government is using the war against terrorism not only as an excuse for advancing their foreign policies, but also with the intention of altering the political life of domestic policies. Abroad, a militarily radical right- wing course was chosen, whilst in his own country. Bush ignored democratic rights. The biggest threat to the American people comes not from the outside, terrorism or Islamic fundamentalism, but from within. It comes from the secret plans of the American government itself. The terrorist attacks were being used as an excuse to create a shadow government that operates with control from the legislative branch. The war against terrorism has become the foundation upon which the Bush administration is, itself, gradually building a dictatorship that is supported by the military and the police. A secret clique of faceless figures rules this shadow government, but for security reasons does so from places unknown.
Don't think when George Bush leaves office in January 2009, that there will be any changes. Don't think that a Democrat Government will return the clock. In an interview with The Independent on the 23rd of January 2007. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was quoted: "Democrats and Republicans have the same goal. We only have different thoughts for which we stand."
It is important to point out that on the road to that single global government. the United States will also cease to be an independent nation. Those of us who believe that Bush's war on terrorism, a war that is increasingly derailing, has simply been a stupid error of judgement on the part of the Texan, will see that everything has been planned in advance. For example, the televised pictures of the tortured Guantanomo Bay prisoners were intended to show to the public that Americans do have the moral superiority that they claim to have and on which they base their role as the world's policeman. The publication of these pictures was designed to invalidate the image that the Americans had of themselves, as a 'better' people. When we take a closer look at Bush's justifications for his invasion of Iraq, we see that there are two sides to the coin. First, the exposure of American mistakes is part of the plan to run their own national state into the ground. War is part of the strategy to bring America's downfall closer: the more wars the United States wages, the more enemies will emerge. The United States will soon fall! As we already mentioned, this is intentional, since the United States will also have to adapt to the arrival of the New World Order.

Austrian Government Study confirms Genetically Modified (GM) Crops threaten Human Fertility and Health Safety
Los Angeles, November 13, 2008 – A long-term feeding study commissioned by the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety, managed by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Health, Family and Youth, and carried out by Veterinary University Vienna, confirms genetically modified (GM) corn seriously affects reproductive health in mice. Non-GMO advocates, who have warned about this infertility link along with other health risks, now seek an immediate ban of all GM foods and GM crops to protect the health of humankind and the fertility of women around the world. . .

United Arab Emirates building Network of Driverless Electric Taxis
February 2, 2009 – PRT (personal rapid transit), driverless electric taxis take to the streets later this year. When the system's fully built, planners say the podcars will be able to deliver riders within 100 meters of any location in the city. The whole network of tracks for the cars will be two stories beneath street level. . . Its creators say the system will pay for itself . . . Similar podcars are in use at Heathrow Airport near London, but never have they been deployed on such a city-wide scale. Full story: dvice.com

Transformation and the World Order
Luke 8:11, "The Seed is the Word of God".
John 6:63, "It is the Holy Spirit that gives eternal Life; the mortal spirit that gave life to your flesh cannot quicken your soul: the Words that I speak to you, are Spirit, and eternal Life".
In Newsletter #564 we discussed "the mystery of the translation of the living saints" which is typed in the Old Testament by the translation of Enoch and Elijah; in the New Testament by the translation from the mount of Olives of our Lord Jesus Christ, and is dependent upon union with God through the agreement of faith.
Our translation is the threefold PROCESS of recognizing and becoming one with the "shout" of Brother Branham's Message, which unites us to Christ in new birth; obedience to "the Voice of the Archangel," which is Christ in us confirming the Message from Genesis to Revelation to bring us to maturity in the unity of Bible faith so when the "trump" sounds the end of the Gentile dispensation we can manifest by the 'third pull' that we are the Sons of God and by such edification elevate our faith for translation grace. This threefold process is the inner work of faith to give our soul victory over our personal world order (Gk. 'kosmos') by subduing our mortal spirit to the Word in our soul so that our mind can bring our body subject. This process may be observed in the transformation of our belief, conduct, nature and dress, however there will be no discernable change in our bodily appearance until the translation.
The word 'kosmos' refers not to terra firma but to worldly affairs, the aggregate of things earthly; the whole circle of earthly goods, endowments, riches, advantages, pleasures, etc., which although hollow, frail and transitory, stir desire, seduce from God, and are obstacles to the cause of Christ.
Christians live "in" the 'kosmos' although we are not "of" the 'kosmos.' We are given this sojourn in time to make our calling and election sure, and to prove our Sonship by overcoming the 'kosmos' which is designed and ruled by Satan. We do so by denying ourselves worldly things that we may receive the one thing needful, that being the character of Jesus Christ. Brother Branham said, "Unless we suffer with Him we cannot reign with Him. You have to suffer to reign. The reason for this is that character simply is never made without suffering. Character is a VICTORY, not a gift. A man without character can't reign because power apart from character is Satanic. But power with character is fit to rule. And since He wants us to share even His throne on the same basis that He overcame and is set down in His Father's throne, then we have to overcome to sit with Him. And the little temporary suffering we go through now is not worthy to be compared to the tremendous glory that will be revealed in us when He comes. Oh, what treasures are laid up for those who are willing to enter into His kingdom through much tribulation" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 117:1).
I John 2:15-17, "Love not the world [order], neither the things that are of the world [order]. If any man loves the world [order], the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is of the world [order], the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world [order]. And the world [order] passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides for ever".
John 16:33, "I have spoken these things, that in Me you might have peace (which is tranquility secure in the harmony of faith). In the world [order] you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world [order]".
Being dead in Christ Christians have overcome the world order and live under a new heavenly order (II Corinthians 5:14-21; Colossians 3:1-3). Those who claim to be Christians yet also follow the Law—keeping sabbath days, etc., are double-minded and are not standing firm for the liberty with which Christ has made us free, but are again entangled with the yoke of bondage to the 'kosmos' (Galatians 5:1). Colossians 2:20-23, "If with Christ you died to the fundamental principles of the world [order], why do you live as though belonging to the world [order]? Why do you allow regulations to be imposed on you such as not eating, tasting or even touching certain foods, as if you were living under the world's control? Such rules are mere human injunctions and instructions that refer to food destined for destruction in its consumption. These rules have a suggestion of wisdom in self-imposed will-worship and humiliation and unsparing severity of the body, but are of no value when it comes to conquering evil thoughts and fleshly indulgence, but tend to make one proud" (Matthew 15:17; Mark 7:18-19; I Corinthians 6:13).
The Law was imposed upon Israel after they committed the unforgivable sin at Kadesh-Barnea. It was made a curse because no man could ever meet the requirements of the Law, which Jesus nailed to His Cross (Colossians 2:14). We overcome the allure of the 'kosmos' not by carnal regulations but by holding God's Word at the throat of the enemy as a sword in the firm hand of faith. Jesus said, our "Yes and no" should be without equivocation.
II Peter 2:20, "If after they have escaped the pollutions of the world [order] through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, their latter end is worse than their beginning".
I John 4:4, "You are of God, little children, and have overcome the false spirits and false prophets: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world [order]." Thus Paul implored the Brethren of Rome, "By the mercies of God, present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world [order]: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:1-2).
This transformation begins when the Seed of God's Word for this hour is implanted into your soul by faith, as your natural life commenced when the seed of your father was implanted into the womb of your mother. The Seed of your Heavenly Father is the baptism with the Holy Ghost that brings Life after His kind as the seed of your earthly father brought forth his kind. And as it grows and blossoms to maturity, the nature of God's Seed will be seen in your life.
When time and God's eternal thoughts began to materialise, He created (Heb. 'bara') heaven and earth out of nothing. Over trillions and billions of years, stars, planets and galaxies separated from the sun and found their foreordained positions that portray Scripture in the stars. Earth, too, spun far away from the Sun; her hydrogen and oxygen froze, then the ice melted as she moved closer to the Sun, engraving her surface. "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face . . . of the waters" that covered her surface. Then God began to fashion or transform (Heb. 'asah') the existing material of earth's vast disordered wasteland into a habitation for His children.
2009 is the bicentenary of Charles Darwin by whom the hiss of the Serpent proposed the evolution of species, however in Genesis 1:21-27 we find that unlike vegetation, all living creatures from fish to fowl, to insects to man, possess a spirit of life which cannot evolve from mineral matter but is created (Heb. 'bara') out of nothing by God's spoken Word.
God spoke His creative Word Seed over six days of a thousand years (II Peter 3:8) and on the seventh day He rested and watched as each spoken Word seed brought forth the physical seed and vegetation according to its kind after a mist went up and watered the surface of the whole earth. Having provided herbs bearing seed, and fruit trees yielding seed for man and beast, the Lord God fashioned (Heb. 'yatsar') or squeezed into shape the first man as a potter forms a vessel of clay into which He placed the soul and mortal spirit. Next He formed (Heb. 'yatsar) the animals and every living creature, and brought them to Adam to name, so God's creatures did not evolve from legendary primordial ooze. Considering the order of creation, perhaps those who postulate the evolution of species should regard the apes and cattle as having evolved from man who preceded their formation. Many years after He finished forming his creatures God formed woman as a byproduct of Adam, foreshadowing the oneness of husband and wife who type Christ and His Church.
Like Adam, the Church is born of the breath of God (John 20:22), since "Faith comes by hearing and understanding the Word of God" (Romans 10:17). So your mind is the womb to the Spirit, and when His revealed thoughts are received into your soul, which is you, faith will transform you into His image (Colossians 3:10). By descent every child of Adam is a son or daughter of God (Genesis 1:11). You were in His foreknowledge and spoken when "God said, Let us make (Heb. 'asah') man [from existing material] in our image [spirit], after our likeness [character]: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So God created (Heb. 'bara' out of nothing) man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them [every soul spoken for Adam's race], and God told them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth" (Psalm 82:6). Now not one man was manifest, but the Seed of His Word was spoken that would create the soul planted in the clay of Adam and every one of his children. So the earth in the form of your flesh becomes the incubator that bears the Seed of God.
Thus the soul of every son of Adam is created in the image of God to live for the glory of God, which explains why every soul, sinner or saint must worship . . . something. Because of the fall our soul is not quickened at the birth of our flesh, but lies dormant in a body of sin and trespasses until it is brought to eternal life by the Word of the hour to realize its potential (Ephesians 2:1, 5; Colossians 2:13). Then, instead of being overcome, the Seed of God's Word will bring the senses of our mortal spirit—memory, imagination, conscience, reasoning and affection, subject to His Word so your mind can take mastery over the senses of the flesh—sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell (Romans 8:11-14; 12:1; I Corinthians 15:31).
The Lord has placed us on free moral agency like Adam and Eve so that our own decisions determine our destiny. And because character is a victory won only by those who overcome the 'kosmos' or world order of their hundred pounds of clay, which is in the image of an animal, most will forego their potential and become fallen sons of God, unrecognized as sons and daughters, or even lost. But God and the soul that is joined together with God is one Spirit (I Corinthians 6:17), and by His foreknowledge God knew from the foundation of the world the choices each of us would make.
Since the fall in the garden of Eden, Satan has spent six thousand years hybreeding God's manifested Word in order to deform His creation from Spirit and Life to death in his counterfeit Eden of scientific reasoning against the Word where he will receive worship according to the prophecies of Isaiah, Jesus and Paul. Like the hybrid dogma of his tax-exempt church corporations, human miscegenation is sponsored by governments and mandated by Satan's United Nations to replicate the original sin on a global scale "as it was in the days or Noah" (Matthew 24:37; Genesis 6:1-4). In perpetrating the original sin Lucifer incarnate the Serpent, which was a beast in the image of man (until God changed every bone in his body) and deceived Eve who was the real image of man (I Corinthians 11:7). Today his fraudulent world church, which is the image of Christ's true Church, has deceived the non-elect, and the hybridization of livestock and genetic modification of plants is deforming God's manifested Word from Spirit and life to death (Revelation 22:18-19).
Isaiah 14:12-13, "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, mighty though you were against the nations of the world! For you said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven, and exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will preside on the mount of the assembly in the sides of the extreme north." His new worldly order will deceive all but the very elect as Jesus and Paul prophesied.
Revelation 13:8, "All dwellers upon the earth whose names were not written in the Lamb's Book of Life shall worship the beast from the sea".
II Thessalonians 2:3-4, "Let no man deceive you in any way: for the day of the Lord will not come until first there is an apostasy, [then, in the day of the Lord], that man of sin, the son of perdition; who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, will be revealed so that he as God presides in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God".
When Satan is cast down to earth he will veil himself behind the pope of the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church. This week the pope established his bona fides for presiding over the fourth temple of g_d soon to be built on the sides of the north, when he defined the new make-believe religion of the Shoah, or holocaust an essential element of Catholic belief. Benedict XVI follows in the steps of Pius XII who in 1950 declared the make-belief of the Assumption of Mary, Pius IX who in 1854 declared the make-belief of the Immaculate Conception, and Constantine, who in 325 defined the make-belief Trinity worshipped by every pagan nation tribe and tongue, the one true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
"This was the sign the Jewish world has been waiting for," declared president of the World Jewish Congress, Ronald S. Lauder.
We all know that historical events are open to free inquiry and free speech. Pope Benedict XVI has done freethinkers everywhere an enormous service. By threatening Bishop Williamson and Catholics generally with excommunication if they do not believe that six million nonexistent Jews were killed in nonexistent gas chambers, Benedict XVI has effectively declared the Jew's Holocaust religion an article of faith! He has yet to define the holocaust of six million Jews claimed for World War I and the holocaust of six million Jews claimed between the wars in Jewish-controlled Russia as Catholic dogma.
Think about it! Pope Ratzinger has boldly confirmed a truth for which the Jews have persecuted and imprisoned thousands: The gas chamber holocaust was not an historical event! The gas chamber holocaust is a religious doctrine! Are the fraudulent Noahide Laws the next make-belief to be canonized, and dissidents beheaded to please the self-styled Jews?
"CHRISTIANS have to make a choice—"either retain their present belief system and be antisemitic or form a partnership with the Jewish people. As long as Christians keep Jesus as God, they will be antisemitic because that belief must lead them to believe that those who reject Jesus reject God. . ." (Australian Jewish News, July 26, 1996).
In God's Eden, Adam and Eve were veiled by their innocence; veiled from sin by the Holy Spirit and unconscious of their nakedness. Now in Satan's Eden the people are once again "naked and know it not" veiled by ignorance of God's revealed Word and knowledge of the world order (Hosea 4:6; Revelation 3:17-20).
Hebrews 4:11-13, "Let us labour to enter into the rest [of faith in the present Truth], lest any man fall after the example of unbelief of the Israelites at Kadesh Barnea whose names were blotted from the Book of Life. For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow of the body, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account".
So all of our thoughts, words and actions since the age of accountability are recorded in the fourth dimension and can be replayed by the omniscient God in an instant of time just as man can transmit the colour, sound and action of a television production. Of course God knew the end before the beginning, but every soul began life on the basis of innocence with the opportunity to choose wisdom or faith. It is possible to commit the unforgivable sin as Israel did, and as the churches are doing now, and be blessed of God. For the sake of the children who would enter the Promised Land, God continued to bless those Israelites whose names had been removed from the Book of Life (Hebrews 10:26-27). And He can prosper your business and your home even though your name has been blotted from the Book of Life.
Take the Word of God and apply it to discern any shortcomings in your life that you may "be transformed by the renewing of your mind, and prove what is that good, acceptable, and perfect, will of God." For by taking God's great and precious promises we will become partakers of the divine nature and escape the corruption that is in the world order through lust, and that transforming power will lead to translation power. nl565.htm

The Mystery of the Translation of the Living Saints
Bible Believers' Newsletter #564
"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.
The last sign Jesus promised before the close of the Gentile dispensation was a repetition of the conditions of Sodom, and three men who would minister worldwide. One would veil God and reveal "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today and forever . . . discerning the thoughts and intents of people's hearts": healing the sick, raising the dead, restoring sight to the blind and casting out demons. This was fulfilled in the ministry of William Branham whose Message was directed to the souls of an elect and called out group separated from this Sodom civilization. The two other messengers were Billy Graham and Oral Roberts, who ministered to the churches in Sodom, whose spirit has taken over the White House . . .
"As it was in the days of Lot:" guests at Barack Hussein Obama's inauguration included homosexual Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson and antichrist minister Rick Warren of the City of London's Council on Foreign Relations, which selects US presidential candidates. Brother Branham said, "the word "Ricky" means "a rat." When you say "little Ricky" you mean "little rat." What you call him, that's what he is. If your kid's named that, change it quickly for the sake of the Gospel. You never heard such names as that back in the Bible or in any other age. It's the name for this age. If there ever was perverted rats and cats, it's there" (God of this Evil Age, p. 34:155).
The United States as an antitype of Israel (Ezekiel 22:23-31). But for His chosen, by their own choosing, God has made a way of escape called the mystery of the translation of the living saints, which is the subject of our main article this week.
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.

Anonymous self-described Israeli human rights activists have set up an Internet site detailing alleged war crimes committed by senior government officials and Israel Defense Forces officers. No known human rights organization is behind the site, whose founders refuse to give their names.
wanted.org.il includes "arrest orders," complete with pictures and personal details, for Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai, Public Security Minister Avi Dichter, National Infrastructure Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi and his two predecessors, Dan Halutz and Moshe Ya'alon, former air force commander Eliezer Shkedy and others. It also explains how to inform the International Criminal Court in The Hague when the "suspects" are outside Israel—hence vulnerable to arrest.

How to Kill a Palestinian
January 29, 2009 – Commenting on the latest Israeli one-directional onslaught against the Palestinians of Gaza Strip, the Israeli 10th TV channel has disclosed that the Israeli genocidal forces had used half of its air force and had launched at least 2,500 air raids against Gaza Strip. The television military correspondent stated that the Israeli warplanes had dropped more than a thousand tons of explosives, including white phosphorous and DIME (Dense Inert Metal Explosive) bombs, during three weeks on the virtually unarmed densely populated 360 square Kilometers Strip. He added that the shells fired by tanks, artillery, gunboats, and infantry were not included in those fired by the air force.
After a whole week of continuous air bombardments Israel sent in its elite foot soldiers; 30,000 of them, and called in 10,000 of its reservists. Armed with the latest weapons of mass murder, covered with an umbrella of free reigning air force, and accompanied with raining shells of heavy artilleries, they drove their tanks into the civilian towns murdering civilians and destroying every structure in their path.
Living outside of Gaza one cannot fully understand the barbarity of this genocide especially when the Western media had barely covered any of its atrocity. To gain a slight idea of its enormity one should remember that, during the 6-days war of 1967, this same Israeli army was distributed on four fronts; Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian, and Lebanese, and it was fighting regular armies. Now the whole brunt of this army is concentrated on a small strip against an unarmed and untrained civilian population.
Similar to all their previous wars the Israeli soldiers had committed massacres against Palestinian unarmed civilians. They have used internationally banned weapons such as phosphorous bombs, DIME, and depleted uranium, as reported by international physicians, eyewitnesses, and military experts. Israeli soldiers had mutilated the bodies of their victims to instill terror in the hearts of people hoping they will leave Gaza. . . "All of the Palestinians must be killed; men, women, infants, and even their beasts" cries the religious opinion of Rabbi Yisrael Rosen, director of the long-established Tsomet Religious Institute. . .
Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache, stated that she was not worried about negative ramifications the Israeli onslaught on Gaza might have on the way the Obama administration would view Israel. She said "You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can't criticize Israel". Full story: uruknet.info

Hate Bill, ENDA top Obama Wish List
January 26, 2009 – As a smiling Obama rides a tidal wave of public approval, the White House webpage ("Civil Rights") reveals his true identity: a left-of-left liberal determined to pass the most pro-homosexual, free-speech destroying legislation ever to come before Congress, including ENDA, expanded hate crime laws, and legal "support for the LGBT community".
Obama says, "this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect."
The White House webpage says he wants to:
Expand Hate Crimes Statutes
Fight Workplace Discrimination
Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples
Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage
Repeal Don't Ask-Don't Tell
Expand Adoption Rights
Full story: truthtellers.org
Comment: It took Obama only three days in office to unveil his homosexual agenda. Hate crimes legislation will outlaw the Bible and criminalize opposition to homosexuality "as it was in the days of Lot" (Luke 17:28-30). Homosexuals, atheists and Jews are protected while Christians, Muslims and heterosexuals are targeted by hate laws that empower minorities in order to disarm and disinherit the majority. This national apostasy is Satan's Eden in the making and a harbinger of the 'squeeze'.

Two US Airstrikes offer a Concrete Sign of Obama's Pakistan Policy
January 24, 2009 — The shaky Pakistani government of Asif Ali Zardari has expressed hopes for warm relations with Obama, but members of Obama's new national security team have already telegraphed their intention to make firmer demands of Islamabad than the Bush administration, and to back up those demands with a threatened curtailment of the plentiful military aid that has been at the heart of US-Pakistani ties for the past three decades.
The separate strikes on two compounds, coming three hours apart and involving five missiles fired from Afghanistan-based Predator drone aircraft, were the first high-profile hostile military actions taken under Obama's four-day-old presidency. A Pakistani security official said in Islamabad that the strikes appeared to have killed at least 10 insurgents, including five foreign nationals and possibly even "a high-value target" such as a senior al-Qaeda or Taliban official.
It remained unclear yesterday whether Obama personally authorized the strike or was involved in its final planning, but military officials have previously said the White House is routinely briefed about such attacks in advance. . .

Joe Brandt's 1937 Dream come True?
The pastor of one of our sister Churches made the following observations based on Joe Brandt's Spiritual dreams that formed the basis of the main article in Newsletter #346, which deserves fresh consideration.
In 1937, seventeen-year-old Joe Brandt received a series of Spiritual dreams in a Fresno, California hospital where he was recovering from brain concussion after falling from his horse. His dreams appear to accord with Brother Branham's prophecy of the sinking of Los Angeles and much of California, with tidal waves and volcanic activity devastating parts of countries bordering the "Pacific ring of fire," but also South America, Mexico—even England, Europe and Japan.
Joe Brandt noted his dreams were set in early Spring, which is Scripturally the time for the end of the Gentile dispensation when an earthquake will sink Los Angeles, commencing the first resurrection and the manifestation of the Sons of God. He noted the absence of birds which, in response to their God-given instinct had evacuated the city of Los Angeles, and said that the sound made by the earth was like the cry of a woman in childbirth.
This is what we wrote in Newsletter #346: "I wondered what year it was. It certainly was not 1937. I saw a newspaper on the corner with a picture of the President. It surely wasn't Mr. Roosevelt. He was bigger, heavier, big ears. If it wasn't 1937, I wondered what year it was. . ." I note political cartoonists sometimes accentuate George II's ears which can appear prominent from certain angles. I wonder . . . We should know the identity of this president after the November elections in two week's time".
The pastor wrote: "Last year, Obama's big ears and stature well resurged the 1937 dream of Joe Brandt to me . . ." (Obama by Calderon, Mexico's Leading Editorial Cartoonist).
(In Newsletter #409 we thought "Big Ears" might have been George II, but he turned out to be Noddy. Two weeks ago I read a file that observed Obama's ears "stick out" or are "big," not in size but in prominence. You will find the image half way down this page – Ed).
The pastor quotes CNN: "The myriad comparisons between the two skinny, big-eared Illinoisans—Obama's own fond description—are already entering the realm of modern legend. Both were believed too inexperienced to be president."
"Both were long-shot underdogs for their party's nomination. Yet each went on not only to win, but to nominate the defeated party favorite (who happened to be a senator from New York) as secretary of state. William H. Seward was Lincoln's choice, Hillary Clinton is Obama's".
In some of Obama's oath speeches, I detect he has taken an oath for the NWO and pledged to divide Iran and Afghanistan into several nations. During the Presidential campaigns late last year Joe Biden said that Barack Obama would be tested in his first few months in office. There will be an international crisis and he'll make the right response."
And now the time of depression.
(NWO/UN policy is to divide the nations up into tribes so that there can be no consolidated wealth or power to jeopardize their rule. He has taken the oath a second time. This time WITHOUT the Bible, so his "absolute" is whatever his masters want it to be – Ed).
Has America not come to its end in Obama presidency? Is not the cycle the Illuminati serpent tail inside it's head now full?
Brother Branham said: "A prophecy I made about 1935 or something like that said: "The time would come (It's written in a book somewhere) that the sea would weep it's way into the desert." Look what'll take place. If that thousands of square miles falls down into the lava of the earth and slides in, there'll be millions die at one time. And that'll cause such a tidal wave. . . Remember, plumb up into the Salton Sea is a hundred or two hundred feet lower than the sea level. That water will probably come almost to Tucson with that tidal wave coming across there. And the sea shall weep its way into the desert (William Branham, Trying to do God a Service without being in the Will of God, p. 6:25).
The Spirit of the Lord came upon the Prophet as he was preaching in Los Angeles: "We don't know what time. And you don't know what time that this city one day is going to be laying out here in the bottom of this ocean."
"O, Capernaum," said Jesus, "Thou who exalted into heaven will be brought down into hell, for if the mighty works had been done in Sodom and Gomorrah, it'd have been standing till this day." And Sodom and Gomorrah lays at the bottom of the Dead Sea, and Capernaum's in the bottom of the sea. Thou city, who claims to be the city of the Angels, who's exalted yourself into heaven and sent all the dirty filthy things of fashions and things, till even the foreign countries come here to pick up our filth and send it away, with your fine churches and steeples, and so forth the way you do; remember, one day you'll be laying in the bottom of this sea. Your great honeycomb under you right now. The wrath of God is belching right beneath you. How much longer He'll hold this sandbar hanging over that, when that ocean out yonder a mile deep will slide in there plumb back to the Salton Sea. It'll be worse than the last day of Pompeii. Repent, Los Angeles. Repent the rest of you and turn to God. The hour of His wrath is upon the earth. Flee while there's time to flee and come into Christ" (Choosing a Bride, p. 35:3-5).
And three is a witness: "The last meeting I had in California, while speaking, and didn't know nothing happened till I got on the street, It told California, said, "Capernaum, Capernaum, the city that's called by the name of the angels (that's Los Angeles), you've exalted yourself into heaven, but you'll be brought down into hell. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom that's been done in you, it would've been standing till this day."
"Now, the last few days, the great roaring and popping. Then, here come out a paper of science, said, "It's all honeycombed; it's got to go under." They just know it."
"And you watch, the water will come plumb back into the Salton Sea. Los Angeles is doomed for judgment. I tell you before it happened, that you might know when it does happen. I never spoke that by myself. And I've never had Him to tell me one thing but what happened. And you can bear record of that. That's right. When? I don't know."
"I went out, and they told me what I said. And I listened, went back and searched the Scripture. You know, Jesus said, almost in them same words about Capernaum; and Sodom and Gomorrah was in the bottom of the Dead Sea, I suppose. And later, about a hundred years later, Capernaum slid into the sea, and it's in the sea. The same God that put Sodom in the sea for its sins, the same God that put Capernaum in the sea for its sins, the same God will put Los Angeles in the sea for its sins, that city of corruption" (Works is Faith Expressed, p. 8:61-64).

The Mystery of the Translation of the Living Saints
Psalm 16:8-11, "I have set the Lord at the forefront of my thoughts: and because He is so near, I shall never be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices: my body also dwells securely [in the hope of preservation from death]. For You will not forsake my soul in Sheol [the realm of departed souls as distinct from the grave, which is the place of the bodies of the deceased]; nor allow Your Holy One to see corruption. You will make me know the [upward] way to perpetual life [in contrast to the downward way to Sheol]: in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand [to which Christ was exalted] there are pleasures enduring for evermore".
Based on verse 10, the Pharisees fantasized that the body of king David was preserved from decay. However, on the day of Pentecost Peter refuted the myth, testifying that this verse refers to the resurrection of Jesus. Acts 2:22-36: "You men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know: this Jesus being delivered by the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you have crucified and killed by the wicked hands of lawless men. But God raised Him up, having loosed the pangs of death, so He could not be held in its grip. For David says concerning Him:"
"I foresaw the Lord always before me, for He is at My right hand, that I may not be disquieted. For this My heart was gladdened and My tongue rejoiced; My flesh also rests in hope: because You will not abandon My soul in Hades, nor permit Your Holy One to see corruption. You have made known to Me the ways of life; You will fill Me with good cheer in Your Presence".
"Men and brethren, let me speak plainly to you of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that He would seat one of his descendants on his throne, David foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that He would not be abandoned to the realm of the dead; neither would His flesh see corruption. This Jesus has God raised up; of this we all are witnesses."
"Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He has poured out this, which you now see and hear. For David did not ascend into the heavens: but he says himself: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I make your enemies a stool for Your feet. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made this Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ".
Testifying to the resurrection in the synagogue at Antioch, Paul said in Acts 13:32-41: "We declare the good news how God has fulfilled His promise to the fathers of victory over sin and death to us their children, by raising Jesus from the dead; as it is written in the second Psalm: "You are My Son, today have I begotten You [from among the dead]." As for the fact that He raised Him from the dead [glorified], no more to see corruption, He said in this way, I will give you the sacred blessings assured to David (II Samuel 7:8-17). For this reason He says also in Psalm 16, "You will not suffer Your Holy One to see corruption." For David, after serving the purpose of God in his own generation, died and was buried with his fathers, and underwent decay: but He, whom God raised saw no corruption."
"It should be clear to you, men and brethren, that through this One Man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. In Him every believer is justified from all things from which you could not be liberated by the Law of Moses. Beware therefore, lest the prophetic utterance does not become your curse: Look, you scoffers, marvel, and perish: for in your days I will accomplish a deed such as you will never believe, even if someone relates it unto you".
Acts 5:30: "The God of Israel's forefathers raised up Jesus, whom the Judeans killed and hanged on a tree." But the question is how did God raise up our Lord Jesus? As His end-time Bride you must know in order to apply the answer to your own life with the same result. The mystery of God was finished forty-four years ago, yet how many within the circle of this Message have a revelation of the original sin? Most Brethren haven't a clue as to the identity of various groups of physical Serpent's seed, or a clear understanding of the true oneness of the godhead. Yet if we are to participate in the translation we absolutely need to know how God raised and subsequently translated Jesus, because God never changes His Word or His way, and this is how He will raise and glorify the sleeping saints and translate the end-time Bride (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8; Matthew 17:1-2; Acts 1:8-10).
From the start of His ministry Jesus knew the answer and He applied this insight to resurrect and later translate Himself. Speaking of the temple of His body, He told the Jews, "[When you] destroy this temple, in three days I will raise it up" (John 2:19, 21).
Jesus possessed a clear revelation He was one with the Father by the agreement of faith, and after overcoming His human desires in the garden of Gethsemane He prayed for you and me and every member of His Bride from the approaching day of Pentecost to the end of this present holy convocation, "That they all may be one; as You, Father, are one in agreement with Me and I am one in agreement with you, that they also may be one in us . . . and the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one" (John 17:21-26).
Jesus knew who He was and the prophecies of Scripture He was foreordained to fulfill. He knew it was necessary for the Israelites to reject Him as their Kinsman Redeemer in order that he could redeem His Gentile Bride (as prophesied by Moses in Deuteronomy 32 and typed in the Book of Ruth). Jesus knew He must first redeem Israel and as God's law of redemption requires a life for a life, that at the hands of self-styled Jews and Israelites blinded by apostate priests and denominational rabbis, His Life would substitute for theirs. He knew corruption sets in within three days, and that He must resurrect within that time in order to fulfill king David's prophecy in Psalm 16:10.
If you are a married man or woman you must have a revelation who and what your wife or your husband is. And if you are a Christian you must know who your Spiritual Husband is, and what Jesus is doing now. You will know by a clear revelation of the present Truth and see those Scriptures living through you automatically with no put-on, so that you know that you know that you know from God's Word you are Christ's Bride. Your love will make you intimate with the Message, taking the spoken Word of Brother Branham back to the written Word from Genesis to Revelation in order to show yourself approved of God with His mind in you (II Timothy 2:15; Philippians 2:5).
Those who believe themselves Christians because they recognize Brother Branham as God's Prophet and attend a Message Church are fool-ish virgins in a fool's paradise. If you hope to share the glory given to Jesus you must be made perfect in the unity of the faith as Jesus prayed, not the unity of church fellowship. The Christian walk is a one-on-one walk with Christ the Word whom to know by faith is to love, not with your pastor, Brother Anthony or anyone else. You cannot enter this unity of the faith independently of the Message of God's prophet, and you cannot grow to maturity in the faith unless you become familiar with the Message.
Many of us fail to appreciate the fulfillment of God's precious promise to us in the ministry of Brother Branham. Brother Branham was a Covenant prophet promised in Scripture four hundred years before the birth of Jesus. Can you imagine how difficult it was for this uneducated man born in poverty to see how he could "Pray for great men, statesmen, and kings of the earth" as spoken by the Angel of the Lord? And to reveal Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, and today, and forever before congregations of tens and hundreds of thousands (Luke 17:28-30)? This was the fruit of faith enabled by grace. Like Jesus Himself, Brother Branham knew who he was, recognized his place in the Bible, and brought his mortal senses under preeminence to the Spirit of the Lord so those Scriptures might be fulfilled in his life and ministry.
Brother Branham was the firstfruit of we who are Christ's at His 'parousia' Coming (I Corinthians 15:23). His submission to the Word; his clear revelation of who he was, his office and sacred mission, his righteous humility, freed him from doubt or condemnation to take authority over Satan and his demons, demanding they loose their victims and depart. He stood on God's promises, entertained no doubt, and those promises were fulfilled. His faithful obedience is the pattern for all who will exercise the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God.
"We are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise who is the earnest of our inheritance unto the redemption of His purchased possession to the praise of His glory." This is wonderful, but it is merely the conception of Spirit babes who must grow up and mature in every way into the likeness of Jesus, the Head of the Body, who set the pattern for our full adoption, to which end Paul prayed that the saints might receive faith for resurrection and translation. Ephesians 1:17-20, "May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know the nature of the hope to which He has called you, and what is the wealth of His glorious inheritance in the saints (new Jerusalem, which together with Jesus is God manifest in the flesh of His glorified Family), and how overwhelmingly great is His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty strength, which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places".
Jesus' resurrection and subsequent translation was produced by living faith in the promises of God's unchanging Word. Paul prayed for the New Testament saints of all Ages, that our hearts might be enlightened by the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of the present Truth—the Word for our day, to recognize our position in the Word and our place in the Body. Brother Branham said, "Christ in the True Church is a continuation of the Book of Acts. But the Book of Revelation shows how the antichrist spirit would enter the church and defile it, making it lukewarm, formal and powerless. It exposes Satan, revealing his works (the attempted destruction of God's people and the discrediting of God's word) right down to the time he is cast into the lake of fire. He fights that. He cannot stand it. He knows that if the people get the true revelation of the true Church and what she is, what she stands for and that she can do the greater works, she will be an invincible army. If they get a true revelation of the two spirits within the framework of the Christian church, and by God's Spirit discern and withstand the antichrist spirit, Satan will be powerless before her. He will be as definitely thwarted today as when Christ withstood his every effort to gain power over Him in the desert. Yes, Satan hates revelation. But we love it. With true revelation in our lives, the gates of hell cannot prevail against us, but we will prevail over them" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 15:3).
Well, how will we be enabled to exercise the invincible power of the 'third pull' and manifest that we are the Sons of God when Christendom is divided into a Babylon of Judaeo-Roman confusion as regards doctrine, and our nations are ruled by Babylonian usurious banksters under Talmudic legislation? God's provided solution is called faith. His one and only Church is not built upon learning from "flesh and blood," but on Spiritual revelation from Above (Matthew 16:17). By faith, which is a clear revelation that agrees with God's Word from Genesis to Revelation we must discern and withstand the antichrist spirit.
Peter declared God's way in Acts 3:22-23, "The Lord your God will raise up an Israelite Prophet like Moses; Him shall you hear in all things whatsoever He shall say. And it shall come to pass, that every soul that will not listen to that prophet, will be utterly destroyed from among the people".
Turn with me to Matthew 17:11 and read what that Prophet commended, and remember, "every soul that will not listen to that prophet, will be utterly destroyed from among the people" (Heb. 'cherem' as we read in Revelation 22:19), including you and me. After God showed Peter, James and John a vision signifying Christ's 'parousia' Coming to Israel revealed by the two Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11, "They asked, Why do the scribes say that Elijah must first come? Jesus responded, The Elijah Malachi 4:5-6 truly will precede these prophets to Israel and restore to the Church all things [spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began]. But John the Baptist was the Elijah of Malachi 3:1: he restored nothing, but laid the ax to the root Jewish denominational principles and was rejected and murdered by the people of Israel, who will murder Me too".
It is impossible for God to contradict His Own Word, which is His eternal thoughts expressed. To parse Luke 1:37 and declare, "with God nothing shall be impossible," is to misrepresent God (Revelation 22:19) who requires the agreement of two or three Scriptures to establish a context. As His first Bible was written in the heavens, it is impossible for God to do anything of great moment without first showing a heavenly sign (Genesis 1:14; Psalm 19:1-6; Romans 1:19-20; 10:18), and it is impossible for God to bring judgment without first sending a vindicated prophet with warning and a way to escape its oncoming storm (Amos 3:6-8; Genesis 18:17; Malachi 4:5-6; Isaiah 42:9; Revelation 10:7).
The Lord sent us the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6, Matthew 17:11 and Revelation 10:7 to restore our heart to the faith of our apostolic fathers and finish the mystery of God, which is the revelation of Jesus Christ hidden under the Seven Seals. This was William Branham, whose ministry revealed Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, and today, and forever by "discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart" in this sodomite world "as it was in the world of Lot," which was the last sign Jesus promised before the close of the Gentile dispensation (Luke 17:28-38; Genesis 18; Hebrews 4:12; 13:8). His Message was the midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6, which is "shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16 that was confirmed by the heavenly "Voice" of Revelation 18:4, calling the wise and foolish virgin out from Rome and her (once) Protestant daughter churches "into the unity of the faith" (Ephesians 4:13) for "the manifestation of the Sons of God" (Romans 8:19) and the translation (I Corinthians 15:46-57).
The revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963 brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form as prophesied in I Corinthians 13:10; I Thessalonians 4:16, and Revelation 10:1-7. So you see, Christianity is not a "do it yourself" religion, for the Lord God established a certain Church Order. He gave us prophesies that must be fulfilled and shadows and types by means of which we may know what to watch for, and He ordained a fivefold ministry of men, not women, to perfect the saints for the work of ministering to those who are without the Body, and to edify those who are within.
There have been three resurrections to glory in the Old Testament, and three is a witness. Enoch and the first Elijah were translated without seeing physical death (Genesis 5:24; II Kings 2:11), and Jesus was resurrected on the third day after His crucifixion (Luke 23:50 – 24:46).
Enoch—one man called from the seventh generation from the first Adam had the testimony that he pleased God (Hebrews 11:5). Enoch types Christ's end-time Bride, called out from the seventh generation from the last Adam, who before she is translated, will have the testimony that she pleases God by being at one with Him in the unity of the faith. Elijah exercised the 'third pull' and so pleased God, He chose to endue four more prophets with the same anointing—Elisha who received a double portion, John the Baptist who introduced Christ's 'erchomai' Coming to Israel, William Branham who introduced His 'parousia' Coming to we Gentiles, and the Elijah of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11 who, with a Hebrew prophet endued with the anointing of the Spirit that rested upon Moses, will introduce Christ's 'parousia' Coming to Israel.
God being omniscient, can never change His Word or His ways. What He did the first time, He must do every time because that was perfect to begin with. All of His actions, and His motives, and His power, and all that He is was perfect from the beginning (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8). This means that the resurrection of the PART-Word Body of the Church Ages and the translation of the living Body-Word will follow the pattern observed in the resurrection of the Old Testament saints and the translation of our Head. The Word of the Lord came to Enoch. The Word of the Lord came to Elijah, who was also a prophet, and the Word of the Lord was Jesus, the God-Prophet. Now the Word of the Lord has come to His end-time Bride—not PART-Word as revealed to the Church Age Saints during Christ's mediation for their ignorance of the fullness while the Book was sealed, but the fullness Himself (I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 10:1-7).
There will be three resurrections to glory in the New Testament. There was the resurrection of the Old Testament saints (Matthew 27:50-53) and Jesus' translation from the mount of Olives in view of His disciples thirty-seven days later, ten days before the fiftieth day of the Pentecostal feast (Mark 16:19-20; Acts 1:9-11). Second will be the resurrection of the Church Age saints and translation of Christ's end-time Bride (I Thessalonians 4:12-18); third will be the resurrection and translation of Israel's two prophets (Revelation 11:7-12).
The resurrection and translation of the New Testament Church was typed by the Old Testament Church and our Lord Jesus Christ who is the keystone that unites and raises the saints of all Ages to glory. Matthew 27:50-53 explains how Christ's death marked the close of the dispensation of the Law, "And the curtain secluding the Holy of Holies in the Temple was torn apart from top to bottom; and there was an earthquake that split the rocks; and the tombs were opened and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised [in glorified flesh] after His resurrection, and they went into the holy city, and appeared to many." Then on the fortieth day Jesus was taken up from the earth and a cloud received Him out of their sight. Acts 1:10-11, "And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, two men stood by them in white apparel; who said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which you have seen Him go into heaven".
In Matthew 16 Jesus said to His disciples, "There are some standing here who will not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in His Kingdom." And after three days, Peter, James and John—three is a witness—typing the 144,000 elect Israelites, saw the order of the resurrection rehearsed, and Christ's 'parousia' Coming to Israel. Moses typed the sleeping saints who will be resurrected, and Elijah typed the end-time Bride who will be translated. I Thessalonians 4:14-17, "If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in a similar way through Jesus, God will bring with Him the New Testament saints who have fallen asleep. For this we declare by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the 'parousia' Coming of Christ will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself (not a second or third person) will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Afterward we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. which are dead; for the trumpet of God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first; we which are alive and remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we always be with the Lord."
We see the "shout" signified in Revelation 10:1-4 when Christ descended with the open Book, placing judgment on Rome, the beast from the sea, and the United States, the beast from the earth, "while with a loud voice like the roar of a lion, He gave a shout, and as He shouted, seven thunders raised their voices." The mysteries of the seven thunders are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals, which is Brother Branham's Message that literally turns the heart of the children back to the faith of their apostolic fathers. His Message rouses the virgin from their slumber in denominational creeds and traditions to the revelation of "the faith once delivered to the apostolic saints" (Jude 3). So it ought to be clear that "every soul that will not listen to that prophet, will be utterly destroyed from among the people" because God is known by revelation from Above, not human reason (Acts 2:3:23; Malachi 4:6; Hebrews 6:8; Revelation 16:17-21; 22:17-19).
The Lord does all three things as He descends accompanied by the theophanies of the Church Age saints. The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form, and He is present now with the saints. Revelation 8:1, "When He had opened the Seventh Seal, there was silence in heaven for a short space of time."
Jude 14-15, "Enoch, the seventh from [the first] Adam, prophesied saying, Behold, the Lord [Jesus in the office of Son of man] comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their impious activities which they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh words which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." So if Jesus has come from heaven with ten thousands of His saints, and the Bible said that heaven was empty for the space of a half hour. Where is this big fellow God, if He is not manifest in Christ?
Jesus returned "as a thief in the night" when Christendom had apostatised and "would not endure sound doctrine; but in order to satisfy their carnal desires, gather to themselves teachers to suit their own likings and turn away from listening to truth, and wander into fables" (II Timothy 3:4; II Thessalonians 2:3-12).
John 5:16-30, "The Jews persecuted and sought to kill Jesus because He had healed a man on the sabbath day. But Jesus answered them, My Father has not ceased working even until now, and I must be about My Father's business. For this the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the sabbath but also called God His own Father, making Himself equal with God. Jesus replied, Truly, I assure you, The Son is not able to do anything of Himself, but only what He sees the Father doing: for what ever He does, the Son does in the same way."
Jesus spoke only what was inspired to Him by the Spirit, so it was THUS SAITH THE LORD, and did only what He foresaw by vision, so He knew His actions were THUS SAITH THE LORD. Brother Branham's life and ministry emulated His example of preeminence, as must your life and ministry in order to glorify God the Token on display.
"For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him everything that He Himself does (see John 16:13, which applies to you and to me): and He will show Him still greater deeds than these, that you may marvel. For as the Father raises up the dead, and gives them life even so the Son quickens whom He will [principally to spiritual Life]. The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, so that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent Him" (John 12:47-48).
This is a condemnation of the Jews who according to their hierarchical status would hinder Jesus in His work of spiritual and physical quickening having set themselves as judge of the world, and condemn it to death. Their rejection of Messiah is blasphemy of the Father who sent Him, for one cannot worship the Father without worshipping the Son (Isaiah 45:21-25; John 20:28; Philippians 2:10-11). Times have not changed, and judgment is still committed to the Son but not until after the dispensation of grace that followed the dispensation of Law and the ongoing indictment of the world order since the revelation of the Seals in this present holy convocation.
"Truly, I assure you, he who receives My Message and believes on Him who sent Me has eternal Life and will not come under condemnation, but has passed from death into eternal Life. (The dispensation would soon change from God above His people under the Law, to God in His people by grace through faith in Jesus Messiah, who at this point was God with His people. The manifestation of His Message in believers is the operation of imparting eternal Life – John 6:63; James 1:18; I Peter 1:23). Truly, I assure you, The hour is coming—and is now being heralded by signs and wonders—when the [spiritually] dead (Matthew 8:22) shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live (John 4:23 – Jesus was pointing His disciples from the Law of sin and death to grace and eternal Life through faith in their kinsman Redeemer with the promise of Spiritual resurrection or new birth for the saints from Pentecost to the Laodicea Church Age which closed in March, 1963, through His mediation in the office of Son of God for their ignorance of the fullness of the Word while the Bible was sealed). As the Father has eternal Life in Himself, so has He granted the Son to have eternal Life in Himself; and has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of man" in this holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of the Pentecostal feast following the revelation of the Seven Seals.
"Do not be astonished at this: for the hour is coming when all who are in the graves shall hear His voice, and come out; those who have done good to the resurrection of eternal Life; and those who have done evil to the resurrection of damnation." (This is not the spiritual resurrection or new birth of the Church under His dispensations of Son of God and Son of man, but the second or general resurrection for the White Throne Judgment one thousand years later (Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20:7-15). "I can do nothing on My own authority: I judge as I hear, I judge and My judgment is just, because I seek not My own will, but the will of Him who sent me."
You may think I am being pedantic but the "Voice of the Archangel" is Jesus Christ in you, placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation to bring you to maturity in the unity of the faith so you will be qualified to speak the Word for the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God. As Peter turned the "[faith] keys of the Kingdom of heaven" to initiate the new birth for Israelites, Samaritans and Gentiles (Matthew 16:19, Acts 2:14-41; 8:14-17; 10:34-48), our Message is the fullness of the Word, which is "the keys of Hell and of Death," so that when the last member of Christ's end-time Bride has come in, there will be a resurrection of the sleeping saints who will appear to many in new Jerusalem, as they are reunited with precious Brethren and loved ones, while the living saints manifest that they are the Sons of God. These are waved as a two loaves baked with leaven, then translated (Romans 11:25; Revelation 1:18; Leviticus 23:15-21). As Christ's end-time Bride we must recognize our position in the Word, otherwise we will not know our place in the Body and find ourselves impersonating the dispensations of Luther, Wesley, the Pentecostals, or the Word for some other day gone by (I John 1:7).
"The trumpet of God" will be Israel's Seventh Trumpet (Revelation 11:15) signaling the end of the Gentile dispensation and calling Israel to a memorial of blowing of Trumpets, which will be the revelation of the Seven Trumpet mysteries preached by the Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11. There will be an earthquake as there was at the end of the dispensation of the Law, an earthquake more powerful than any since men were upon earth. "The dead in Christ shall rise first. Afterward we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air." We meet one another before we meet Him; the saints from Pentecost to Laodicea will resurrect dispensation by dispensation, while we as a hunted and persecuted little group manifest that we are the Sons of God. This will not be a public demonstration, but the exercise of the 'third pull' for the provision of our necessities by the spoken Word that we may know the exceeding greatness the resurrection power which God wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and translated Him in heavenly places. The manifestation of the Sons of God is for the purpose of instilling faith for translation grace, for as God raised Christ by the operation of His own faith, we must apply the greatness of God's resurrection power so that when one of the resurrected saints appears to us, that encounter will instantly supercharge our faith to change in the atoms without death into glorified flesh, and caught up together with our resurrected Brethren. Mothers and fathers will meet one another. Children and loved ones will meet, then we'll be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
God sent us a prophet in the same spirit as John the Baptist to introduce Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming. But how will churchgoers know him unless they are constantly in the Word to know what they should be looking for? Daniel said, "The wise shall understand." So we must circumcise our hearts from the things of the world and separate from the world church system as the "Voice of the Archangel" confirms the spoken Word in the written Word (Revelation 18:1-4).
Naturally we would like to know when the earthquake that marks the close of the Gentile dispensation will take place? Political, economic, religious and social affairs moving at a quickening pace toward a climax and the fulfillment of Scriptures. According to the shadows and types of the Law the Gentile dispensation will end and the earthquake will take place one Nisan 14 very very soon.
Brother Branham said, "They're going to find out someday that they're not seeing a hundred and fifty million years of light space . . . they're going right around in a circle. . . You're going to find out one of these days that when you go to heaven, you don't fly off somewhere else; you're still right here, just in another dimension faster than this. Right through this room's coming color. Every color shirt, dress, whatever you got on is eternal, laying right on records, going around and around the world. Every time you bat your eyes, it's right on record. . . television will prove that. . . If Einstein had only had the spiritual application, as he had the physical application . . . he could've told us something. When I heard his message on that great center somewhere into the skies, that whoever contacted with that center, could create earths, do anything—the power would be unlimited" (Christ Revealed in His Own Word, p. 14:63, 67; Ephesians 1:17-20).

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The last sign Jesus promised before the close of the Gentile dispensation was a repetition of the conditions of Sodom, and three men who would minister worldwide. One would veil God and reveal "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today and forever . . . discerning the thoughts and intents of people's hearts": healing the sick, raising the dead, restoring sight to the blind and casting out demons. This was fulfilled in the ministry of William Branham whose Message was directed to the souls of an elect and called out group separated from this Sodom civilization. The two other messengers were Billy Graham and Oral Roberts, who ministered to the churches in Sodom, whose spirit has taken over the White House . . .
"As it was in the days of Lot:" guests at Barack Hussein Obama's inauguration included homosexual Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson and antichrist minister Rick Warren of the City of London's Council on Foreign Relations, which selects US presidential candidates. Brother Branham said, "the word "Ricky" means "a rat." When you say "little Ricky" you mean "little rat." What you call him, that's what he is. If your kid's named that, change it quickly for the sake of the Gospel. You never heard such names as that back in the Bible or in any other age. It's the name for this age. If there ever was perverted rats and cats, it's there" (God of this Evil Age, p. 34:155).
The United States as an antitype of Israel (Ezekiel 22:23-31). But for His chosen, by their own choosing, God has made a way of escape called the mystery of the translation of the living saints, which is the subject of our main article this week.

W A N T E D
Anonymous self-described Israeli human rights activists have set up an Internet site detailing alleged war crimes committed by senior government officials and Israel Defense Forces officers. No known human rights organization is behind the site, whose founders refuse to give their names.
wanted.org.il includes "arrest orders," complete with pictures and personal details, for Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai, Public Security Minister Avi Dichter, National Infrastructure Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi and his two predecessors, Dan Halutz and Moshe Ya'alon, former air force commander Eliezer Shkedy and others. It also explains how to inform the International Criminal Court in The Hague when the "suspects" are outside Israel—hence vulnerable to arrest.

How to Kill a Palestinian
January 29, 2009 – Commenting on the latest Israeli one-directional onslaught against the Palestinians of Gaza Strip, the Israeli 10th TV channel has disclosed that the Israeli genocidal forces had used half of its air force and had launched at least 2,500 air raids against Gaza Strip. The television military correspondent stated that the Israeli warplanes had dropped more than a thousand tons of explosives, including white phosphorous and DIME (Dense Inert Metal Explosive) bombs, during three weeks on the virtually unarmed densely populated 360 square Kilometers Strip. He added that the shells fired by tanks, artillery, gunboats, and infantry were not included in those fired by the air force.
After a whole week of continuous air bombardments Israel sent in its elite foot soldiers; 30,000 of them, and called in 10,000 of its reservists. Armed with the latest weapons of mass murder, covered with an umbrella of free reigning air force, and accompanied with raining shells of heavy artilleries, they drove their tanks into the civilian towns murdering civilians and destroying every structure in their path.
Living outside of Gaza one cannot fully understand the barbarity of this genocide especially when the Western media had barely covered any of its atrocity. To gain a slight idea of its enormity one should remember that, during the 6-days war of 1967, this same Israeli army was distributed on four fronts; Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian, and Lebanese, and it was fighting regular armies. Now the whole brunt of this army is concentrated on a small strip against an unarmed and untrained civilian population.
Similar to all their previous wars the Israeli soldiers had committed massacres against Palestinian unarmed civilians. They have used internationally banned weapons such as phosphorous bombs, DIME, and depleted uranium, as reported by international physicians, eyewitnesses, and military experts. Israeli soldiers had mutilated the bodies of their victims to instill terror in the hearts of people hoping they will leave Gaza. . . "All of the Palestinians must be killed; men, women, infants, and even their beasts" cries the religious opinion of Rabbi Yisrael Rosen, director of the long-established Tsomet Religious Institute. . .
Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache, stated that she was not worried about negative ramifications the Israeli onslaught on Gaza might have on the way the Obama administration would view Israel. She said "You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can't criticize Israel". Full story: uruknet.info

Hate Bill, ENDA top Obama Wish List
January 26, 2009 – As a smiling Obama rides a tidal wave of public approval, the White House webpage ("Civil Rights") reveals his true identity: a left-of-left liberal determined to pass the most pro-homosexual, free-speech destroying legislation ever to come before Congress, including ENDA, expanded hate crime laws, and legal "support for the LGBT community".
Obama says, "this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect."
The White House webpage says he wants to:
Expand Hate Crimes Statutes
Fight Workplace Discrimination
Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples
Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage
Repeal Don't Ask-Don't Tell
Expand Adoption Rights
Full story: truthtellers.org
Comment: It took Obama only three days in office to unveil his homosexual agenda. Hate crimes legislation will outlaw the Bible and criminalize opposition to homosexuality "as it was in the days of Lot" (Luke 17:28-30). Homosexuals, atheists and Jews are protected while Christians, Muslims and heterosexuals are targeted by hate laws that empower minorities in order to disarm and disinherit the majority. This national apostasy is Satan's Eden in the making and a harbinger of the 'squeeze'.

Two US Airstrikes offer a Concrete Sign of Obama's Pakistan Policy
January 24, 2009 — The shaky Pakistani government of Asif Ali Zardari has expressed hopes for warm relations with Obama, but members of Obama's new national security team have already telegraphed their intention to make firmer demands of Islamabad than the Bush administration, and to back up those demands with a threatened curtailment of the plentiful military aid that has been at the heart of US-Pakistani ties for the past three decades.
The separate strikes on two compounds, coming three hours apart and involving five missiles fired from Afghanistan-based Predator drone aircraft, were the first high-profile hostile military actions taken under Obama's four-day-old presidency. A Pakistani security official said in Islamabad that the strikes appeared to have killed at least 10 insurgents, including five foreign nationals and possibly even "a high-value target" such as a senior al-Qaeda or Taliban official.
It remained unclear yesterday whether Obama personally authorized the strike or was involved in its final planning, but military officials have previously said the White House is routinely briefed about such attacks in advance. . .

Joe Brandt's 1937 Dream come True?
The pastor of one of our sister Churches made the following observations based on Joe Brandt's Spiritual dreams that formed the basis of the main article in Newsletter #346, which deserves fresh consideration.
In 1937, seventeen-year-old Joe Brandt received a series of Spiritual dreams in a Fresno, California hospital where he was recovering from brain concussion after falling from his horse. His dreams appear to accord with Brother Branham's prophecy of the sinking of Los Angeles and much of California, with tidal waves and volcanic activity devastating parts of countries bordering the "Pacific ring of fire," but also South America, Mexico—even England, Europe and Japan.
Joe Brandt noted his dreams were set in early Spring, which is Scripturally the time for the end of the Gentile dispensation when an earthquake will sink Los Angeles, commencing the first resurrection and the manifestation of the Sons of God. He noted the absence of birds which, in response to their God-given instinct had evacuated the city of Los Angeles, and said that the sound made by the earth was like the cry of a woman in childbirth.
This is what we wrote in Newsletter #346: "I wondered what year it was. It certainly was not 1937. I saw a newspaper on the corner with a picture of the President. It surely wasn't Mr. Roosevelt. He was bigger, heavier, big ears. If it wasn't 1937, I wondered what year it was. . ." I note political cartoonists sometimes accentuate George II's ears which can appear prominent from certain angles. I wonder . . . We should know the identity of this president after the November elections in two week's time".
The pastor wrote: "Last year, Obama's big ears and stature well resurged the 1937 dream of Joe Brandt to me . . ." (Obama by Calderon, Mexico's Leading Editorial Cartoonist).
(In Newsletter #409 we thought "Big Ears" might have been George II, but he turned out to be Noddy. Two weeks ago I read a file that observed Obama's ears "stick out" or are "big," not in size but in prominence. You will find the image half way down this page – Ed).
The pastor quotes CNN: "The myriad comparisons between the two skinny, big-eared Illinoisans—Obama's own fond description—are already entering the realm of modern legend. Both were believed too inexperienced to be president."
"Both were long-shot underdogs for their party's nomination. Yet each went on not only to win, but to nominate the defeated party favorite (who happened to be a senator from New York) as secretary of state. William H. Seward was Lincoln's choice, Hillary Clinton is Obama's".
In some of Obama's oath speeches, I detect he has taken an oath for the NWO and pledged to divide Iran and Afghanistan into several nations. During the Presidential campaigns late last year Joe Biden said that Barack Obama would be tested in his first few months in office. There will be an international crisis and he'll make the right response."
And now the time of depression.
(NWO/UN policy is to divide the nations up into tribes so that there can be no consolidated wealth or power to jeopardize their rule. He has taken the oath a second time. This time WITHOUT the Bible, so his "absolute" is whatever his masters want it to be – Ed).
Has America not come to its end in Obama presidency? Is not the cycle the Illuminati serpent tail inside it's head now full?
Brother Branham said: "A prophecy I made about 1935 or something like that said: "The time would come (It's written in a book somewhere) that the sea would weep it's way into the desert." Look what'll take place. If that thousands of square miles falls down into the lava of the earth and slides in, there'll be millions die at one time. And that'll cause such a tidal wave. . . Remember, plumb up into the Salton Sea is a hundred or two hundred feet lower than the sea level. That water will probably come almost to Tucson with that tidal wave coming across there. And the sea shall weep its way into the desert (William Branham, Trying to do God a Service without being in the Will of God, p. 6:25).
The Spirit of the Lord came upon the Prophet as he was preaching in Los Angeles: "We don't know what time. And you don't know what time that this city one day is going to be laying out here in the bottom of this ocean."
"O, Capernaum," said Jesus, "Thou who exalted into heaven will be brought down into hell, for if the mighty works had been done in Sodom and Gomorrah, it'd have been standing till this day." And Sodom and Gomorrah lays at the bottom of the Dead Sea, and Capernaum's in the bottom of the sea. Thou city, who claims to be the city of the Angels, who's exalted yourself into heaven and sent all the dirty filthy things of fashions and things, till even the foreign countries come here to pick up our filth and send it away, with your fine churches and steeples, and so forth the way you do; remember, one day you'll be laying in the bottom of this sea. Your great honeycomb under you right now. The wrath of God is belching right beneath you. How much longer He'll hold this sandbar hanging over that, when that ocean out yonder a mile deep will slide in there plumb back to the Salton Sea. It'll be worse than the last day of Pompeii. Repent, Los Angeles. Repent the rest of you and turn to God. The hour of His wrath is upon the earth. Flee while there's time to flee and come into Christ" (Choosing a Bride, p. 35:3-5).
And three is a witness: "The last meeting I had in California, while speaking, and didn't know nothing happened till I got on the street, It told California, said, "Capernaum, Capernaum, the city that's called by the name of the angels (that's Los Angeles), you've exalted yourself into heaven, but you'll be brought down into hell. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom that's been done in you, it would've been standing till this day."
"Now, the last few days, the great roaring and popping. Then, here come out a paper of science, said, "It's all honeycombed; it's got to go under." They just know it."
"And you watch, the water will come plumb back into the Salton Sea. Los Angeles is doomed for judgment. I tell you before it happened, that you might know when it does happen. I never spoke that by myself. And I've never had Him to tell me one thing but what happened. And you can bear record of that. That's right. When? I don't know."
"I went out, and they told me what I said. And I listened, went back and searched the Scripture. You know, Jesus said, almost in them same words about Capernaum; and Sodom and Gomorrah was in the bottom of the Dead Sea, I suppose. And later, about a hundred years later, Capernaum slid into the sea, and it's in the sea. The same God that put Sodom in the sea for its sins, the same God that put Capernaum in the sea for its sins, the same God will put Los Angeles in the sea for its sins, that city of corruption" (Works is Faith Expressed, p. 8:61-64).

The Mystery of the Translation of the Living Saints
Psalm 16:8-11, "I have set the Lord at the forefront of my thoughts: and because He is so near, I shall never be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices: my body also dwells securely [in the hope of preservation from death]. For You will not forsake my soul in Sheol [the realm of departed souls as distinct from the grave, which is the place of the bodies of the deceased]; nor allow Your Holy One to see corruption. You will make me know the [upward] way to perpetual life [in contrast to the downward way to Sheol]: in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand [to which Christ was exalted] there are pleasures enduring for evermore".
Based on verse 10, the Pharisees fantasized that the body of king David was preserved from decay. However, on the day of Pentecost Peter refuted the myth, testifying that this verse refers to the resurrection of Jesus. Acts 2:22-36: "You men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know: this Jesus being delivered by the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you have crucified and killed by the wicked hands of lawless men. But God raised Him up, having loosed the pangs of death, so He could not be held in its grip. For David says concerning Him:"
"I foresaw the Lord always before me, for He is at My right hand, that I may not be disquieted. For this My heart was gladdened and My tongue rejoiced; My flesh also rests in hope: because You will not abandon My soul in Hades, nor permit Your Holy One to see corruption. You have made known to Me the ways of life; You will fill Me with good cheer in Your Presence".
"Men and brethren, let me speak plainly to you of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that He would seat one of his descendants on his throne, David foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that He would not be abandoned to the realm of the dead; neither would His flesh see corruption. This Jesus has God raised up; of this we all are witnesses."
"Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He has poured out this, which you now see and hear. For David did not ascend into the heavens: but he says himself: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I make your enemies a stool for Your feet. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made this Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ".
Testifying to the resurrection in the synagogue at Antioch, Paul said in Acts 13:32-41: "We declare the good news how God has fulfilled His promise to the fathers of victory over sin and death to us their children, by raising Jesus from the dead; as it is written in the second Psalm: "You are My Son, today have I begotten You [from among the dead]." As for the fact that He raised Him from the dead [glorified], no more to see corruption, He said in this way, I will give you the sacred blessings assured to David (II Samuel 7:8-17). For this reason He says also in Psalm 16, "You will not suffer Your Holy One to see corruption." For David, after serving the purpose of God in his own generation, died and was buried with his fathers, and underwent decay: but He, whom God raised saw no corruption."
"It should be clear to you, men and brethren, that through this One Man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. In Him every believer is justified from all things from which you could not be liberated by the Law of Moses. Beware therefore, lest the prophetic utterance does not become your curse: Look, you scoffers, marvel, and perish: for in your days I will accomplish a deed such as you will never believe, even if someone relates it unto you".
Acts 5:30: "The God of Israel's forefathers raised up Jesus, whom the Judeans killed and hanged on a tree." But the question is how did God raise up our Lord Jesus? As His end-time Bride you must know in order to apply the answer to your own life with the same result. The mystery of God was finished forty-four years ago, yet how many within the circle of this Message have a revelation of the original sin? Most Brethren haven't a clue as to the identity of various groups of physical Serpent's seed, or a clear understanding of the true oneness of the godhead. Yet if we are to participate in the translation we absolutely need to know how God raised and subsequently translated Jesus, because God never changes His Word or His way, and this is how He will raise and glorify the sleeping saints and translate the end-time Bride (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8; Matthew 17:1-2; Acts 1:8-10).
From the start of His ministry Jesus knew the answer and He applied this insight to resurrect and later translate Himself. Speaking of the temple of His body, He told the Jews, "[When you] destroy this temple, in three days I will raise it up" (John 2:19, 21).
Jesus possessed a clear revelation He was one with the Father by the agreement of faith, and after overcoming His human desires in the garden of Gethsemane He prayed for you and me and every member of His Bride from the approaching day of Pentecost to the end of this present holy convocation, "That they all may be one; as You, Father, are one in agreement with Me and I am one in agreement with you, that they also may be one in us . . . and the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one" (John 17:21-26).
Jesus knew who He was and the prophecies of Scripture He was foreordained to fulfill. He knew it was necessary for the Israelites to reject Him as their Kinsman Redeemer in order that he could redeem His Gentile Bride (as prophesied by Moses in Deuteronomy 32 and typed in the Book of Ruth). Jesus knew He must first redeem Israel and as God's law of redemption requires a life for a life, that at the hands of self-styled Jews and Israelites blinded by apostate priests and denominational rabbis, His Life would substitute for theirs. He knew corruption sets in within three days, and that He must resurrect within that time in order to fulfill king David's prophecy in Psalm 16:10.
If you are a married man or woman you must have a revelation who and what your wife or your husband is. And if you are a Christian you must know who your Spiritual Husband is, and what Jesus is doing now. You will know by a clear revelation of the present Truth and see those Scriptures living through you automatically with no put-on, so that you know that you know that you know from God's Word you are Christ's Bride. Your love will make you intimate with the Message, taking the spoken Word of Brother Branham back to the written Word from Genesis to Revelation in order to show yourself approved of God with His mind in you (II Timothy 2:15; Philippians 2:5).
Those who believe themselves Christians because they recognize Brother Branham as God's Prophet and attend a Message Church are fool-ish virgins in a fool's paradise. If you hope to share the glory given to Jesus you must be made perfect in the unity of the faith as Jesus prayed, not the unity of church fellowship. The Christian walk is a one-on-one walk with Christ the Word whom to know by faith is to love, not with your pastor, Brother Anthony or anyone else. You cannot enter this unity of the faith independently of the Message of God's prophet, and you cannot grow to maturity in the faith unless you become familiar with the Message.
Many of us fail to appreciate the fulfillment of God's precious promise to us in the ministry of Brother Branham. Brother Branham was a Covenant prophet promised in Scripture four hundred years before the birth of Jesus. Can you imagine how difficult it was for this uneducated man born in poverty to see how he could "Pray for great men, statesmen, and kings of the earth" as spoken by the Angel of the Lord? And to reveal Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, and today, and forever before congregations of tens and hundreds of thousands (Luke 17:28-30)? This was the fruit of faith enabled by grace. Like Jesus Himself, Brother Branham knew who he was, recognized his place in the Bible, and brought his mortal senses under preeminence to the Spirit of the Lord so those Scriptures might be fulfilled in his life and ministry.
Brother Branham was the firstfruit of we who are Christ's at His 'parousia' Coming (I Corinthians 15:23). His submission to the Word; his clear revelation of who he was, his office and sacred mission, his righteous humility, freed him from doubt or condemnation to take authority over Satan and his demons, demanding they loose their victims and depart. He stood on God's promises, entertained no doubt, and those promises were fulfilled. His faithful obedience is the pattern for all who will exercise the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God.
"We are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise who is the earnest of our inheritance unto the redemption of His purchased possession to the praise of His glory." This is wonderful, but it is merely the conception of Spirit babes who must grow up and mature in every way into the likeness of Jesus, the Head of the Body, who set the pattern for our full adoption, to which end Paul prayed that the saints might receive faith for resurrection and translation. Ephesians 1:17-20, "May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know the nature of the hope to which He has called you, and what is the wealth of His glorious inheritance in the saints (new Jerusalem, which together with Jesus is God manifest in the flesh of His glorified Family), and how overwhelmingly great is His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty strength, which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places".
Jesus' resurrection and subsequent translation was produced by living faith in the promises of God's unchanging Word. Paul prayed for the New Testament saints of all Ages, that our hearts might be enlightened by the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of the present Truth—the Word for our day, to recognize our position in the Word and our place in the Body. Brother Branham said, "Christ in the True Church is a continuation of the Book of Acts. But the Book of Revelation shows how the antichrist spirit would enter the church and defile it, making it lukewarm, formal and powerless. It exposes Satan, revealing his works (the attempted destruction of God's people and the discrediting of God's word) right down to the time he is cast into the lake of fire. He fights that. He cannot stand it. He knows that if the people get the true revelation of the true Church and what she is, what she stands for and that she can do the greater works, she will be an invincible army. If they get a true revelation of the two spirits within the framework of the Christian church, and by God's Spirit discern and withstand the antichrist spirit, Satan will be powerless before her. He will be as definitely thwarted today as when Christ withstood his every effort to gain power over Him in the desert. Yes, Satan hates revelation. But we love it. With true revelation in our lives, the gates of hell cannot prevail against us, but we will prevail over them" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 15:3).
Well, how will we be enabled to exercise the invincible power of the 'third pull' and manifest that we are the Sons of God when Christendom is divided into a Babylon of Judaeo-Roman confusion as regards doctrine, and our nations are ruled by Babylonian usurious banksters under Talmudic legislation? God's provided solution is called faith. His one and only Church is not built upon learning from "flesh and blood," but on Spiritual revelation from Above (Matthew 16:17). By faith, which is a clear revelation that agrees with God's Word from Genesis to Revelation we must discern and withstand the antichrist spirit.
Peter declared God's way in Acts 3:22-23, "The Lord your God will raise up an Israelite Prophet like Moses; Him shall you hear in all things whatsoever He shall say. And it shall come to pass, that every soul that will not listen to that prophet, will be utterly destroyed from among the people".
Turn with me to Matthew 17:11 and read what that Prophet commended, and remember, "every soul that will not listen to that prophet, will be utterly destroyed from among the people" (Heb. 'cherem' as we read in Revelation 22:19), including you and me. After God showed Peter, James and John a vision signifying Christ's 'parousia' Coming to Israel revealed by the two Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11, "They asked, Why do the scribes say that Elijah must first come? Jesus responded, The Elijah Malachi 4:5-6 truly will precede these prophets to Israel and restore to the Church all things [spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began]. But John the Baptist was the Elijah of Malachi 3:1: he restored nothing, but laid the ax to the root Jewish denominational principles and was rejected and murdered by the people of Israel, who will murder Me too".
It is impossible for God to contradict His Own Word, which is His eternal thoughts expressed. To parse Luke 1:37 and declare, "with God nothing shall be impossible," is to misrepresent God (Revelation 22:19) who requires the agreement of two or three Scriptures to establish a context. As His first Bible was written in the heavens, it is impossible for God to do anything of great moment without first showing a heavenly sign (Genesis 1:14; Psalm 19:1-6; Romans 1:19-20; 10:18), and it is impossible for God to bring judgment without first sending a vindicated prophet with warning and a way to escape its oncoming storm (Amos 3:6-8; Genesis 18:17; Malachi 4:5-6; Isaiah 42:9; Revelation 10:7).
The Lord sent us the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6, Matthew 17:11 and Revelation 10:7 to restore our heart to the faith of our apostolic fathers and finish the mystery of God, which is the revelation of Jesus Christ hidden under the Seven Seals. This was William Branham, whose ministry revealed Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, and today, and forever by "discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart" in this sodomite world "as it was in the world of Lot," which was the last sign Jesus promised before the close of the Gentile dispensation (Luke 17:28-38; Genesis 18; Hebrews 4:12; 13:8). His Message was the midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6, which is "shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16 that was confirmed by the heavenly "Voice" of Revelation 18:4, calling the wise and foolish virgin out from Rome and her (once) Protestant daughter churches "into the unity of the faith" (Ephesians 4:13) for "the manifestation of the Sons of God" (Romans 8:19) and the translation (I Corinthians 15:46-57).
The revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963 brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form as prophesied in I Corinthians 13:10; I Thessalonians 4:16, and Revelation 10:1-7. So you see, Christianity is not a "do it yourself" religion, for the Lord God established a certain Church Order. He gave us prophesies that must be fulfilled and shadows and types by means of which we may know what to watch for, and He ordained a fivefold ministry of men, not women, to perfect the saints for the work of ministering to those who are without the Body, and to edify those who are within.
There have been three resurrections to glory in the Old Testament, and three is a witness. Enoch and the first Elijah were translated without seeing physical death (Genesis 5:24; II Kings 2:11), and Jesus was resurrected on the third day after His crucifixion (Luke 23:50 – 24:46).
Enoch—one man called from the seventh generation from the first Adam had the testimony that he pleased God (Hebrews 11:5). Enoch types Christ's end-time Bride, called out from the seventh generation from the last Adam, who before she is translated, will have the testimony that she pleases God by being at one with Him in the unity of the faith. Elijah exercised the 'third pull' and so pleased God, He chose to endue four more prophets with the same anointing—Elisha who received a double portion, John the Baptist who introduced Christ's 'erchomai' Coming to Israel, William Branham who introduced His 'parousia' Coming to we Gentiles, and the Elijah of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11 who, with a Hebrew prophet endued with the anointing of the Spirit that rested upon Moses, will introduce Christ's 'parousia' Coming to Israel.
God being omniscient, can never change His Word or His ways. What He did the first time, He must do every time because that was perfect to begin with. All of His actions, and His motives, and His power, and all that He is was perfect from the beginning (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8). This means that the resurrection of the PART-Word Body of the Church Ages and the translation of the living Body-Word will follow the pattern observed in the resurrection of the Old Testament saints and the translation of our Head. The Word of the Lord came to Enoch. The Word of the Lord came to Elijah, who was also a prophet, and the Word of the Lord was Jesus, the God-Prophet. Now the Word of the Lord has come to His end-time Bride—not PART-Word as revealed to the Church Age Saints during Christ's mediation for their ignorance of the fullness while the Book was sealed, but the fullness Himself (I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 10:1-7).
There will be three resurrections to glory in the New Testament. There was the resurrection of the Old Testament saints (Matthew 27:50-53) and Jesus' translation from the mount of Olives in view of His disciples thirty-seven days later, ten days before the fiftieth day of the Pentecostal feast (Mark 16:19-20; Acts 1:9-11). Second will be the resurrection of the Church Age saints and translation of Christ's end-time Bride (I Thessalonians 4:12-18); third will be the resurrection and translation of Israel's two prophets (Revelation 11:7-12).
The resurrection and translation of the New Testament Church was typed by the Old Testament Church and our Lord Jesus Christ who is the keystone that unites and raises the saints of all Ages to glory. Matthew 27:50-53 explains how Christ's death marked the close of the dispensation of the Law, "And the curtain secluding the Holy of Holies in the Temple was torn apart from top to bottom; and there was an earthquake that split the rocks; and the tombs were opened and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised [in glorified flesh] after His resurrection, and they went into the holy city, and appeared to many." Then on the fortieth day Jesus was taken up from the earth and a cloud received Him out of their sight. Acts 1:10-11, "And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, two men stood by them in white apparel; who said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which you have seen Him go into heaven".
In Matthew 16 Jesus said to His disciples, "There are some standing here who will not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in His Kingdom." And after three days, Peter, James and John—three is a witness—typing the 144,000 elect Israelites, saw the order of the resurrection rehearsed, and Christ's 'parousia' Coming to Israel. Moses typed the sleeping saints who will be resurrected, and Elijah typed the end-time Bride who will be translated. I Thessalonians 4:14-17, "If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in a similar way through Jesus, God will bring with Him the New Testament saints who have fallen asleep. For this we declare by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the 'parousia' Coming of Christ will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself (not a second or third person) will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Afterward we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. which are dead; for the trumpet of God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first; we which are alive and remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we always be with the Lord."
We see the "shout" signified in Revelation 10:1-4 when Christ descended with the open Book, placing judgment on Rome, the beast from the sea, and the United States, the beast from the earth, "while with a loud voice like the roar of a lion, He gave a shout, and as He shouted, seven thunders raised their voices." The mysteries of the seven thunders are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals, which is Brother Branham's Message that literally turns the heart of the children back to the faith of their apostolic fathers. His Message rouses the virgin from their slumber in denominational creeds and traditions to the revelation of "the faith once delivered to the apostolic saints" (Jude 3). So it ought to be clear that "every soul that will not listen to that prophet, will be utterly destroyed from among the people" because God is known by revelation from Above, not human reason (Acts 2:3:23; Malachi 4:6; Hebrews 6:8; Revelation 16:17-21; 22:17-19).
The Lord does all three things as He descends accompanied by the theophanies of the Church Age saints. The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form, and He is present now with the saints. Revelation 8:1, "When He had opened the Seventh Seal, there was silence in heaven for a short space of time."
Jude 14-15, "Enoch, the seventh from [the first] Adam, prophesied saying, Behold, the Lord [Jesus in the office of Son of man] comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their impious activities which they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh words which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." So if Jesus has come from heaven with ten thousands of His saints, and the Bible said that heaven was empty for the space of a half hour. Where is this big fellow God, if He is not manifest in Christ?
Jesus returned "as a thief in the night" when Christendom had apostatised and "would not endure sound doctrine; but in order to satisfy their carnal desires, gather to themselves teachers to suit their own likings and turn away from listening to truth, and wander into fables" (II Timothy 3:4; II Thessalonians 2:3-12).
John 5:16-30, "The Jews persecuted and sought to kill Jesus because He had healed a man on the sabbath day. But Jesus answered them, My Father has not ceased working even until now, and I must be about My Father's business. For this the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the sabbath but also called God His own Father, making Himself equal with God. Jesus replied, Truly, I assure you, The Son is not able to do anything of Himself, but only what He sees the Father doing: for what ever He does, the Son does in the same way."
Jesus spoke only what was inspired to Him by the Spirit, so it was THUS SAITH THE LORD, and did only what He foresaw by vision, so He knew His actions were THUS SAITH THE LORD. Brother Branham's life and ministry emulated His example of preeminence, as must your life and ministry in order to glorify God the Token on display.
"For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him everything that He Himself does (see John 16:13, which applies to you and to me): and He will show Him still greater deeds than these, that you may marvel. For as the Father raises up the dead, and gives them life even so the Son quickens whom He will [principally to spiritual Life]. The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, so that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent Him" (John 12:47-48).
This is a condemnation of the Jews who according to their hierarchical status would hinder Jesus in His work of spiritual and physical quickening having set themselves as judge of the world, and condemn it to death. Their rejection of Messiah is blasphemy of the Father who sent Him, for one cannot worship the Father without worshipping the Son (Isaiah 45:21-25; John 20:28; Philippians 2:10-11). Times have not changed, and judgment is still committed to the Son but not until after the dispensation of grace that followed the dispensation of Law and the ongoing indictment of the world order since the revelation of the Seals in this present holy convocation.
"Truly, I assure you, he who receives My Message and believes on Him who sent Me has eternal Life and will not come under condemnation, but has passed from death into eternal Life. (The dispensation would soon change from God above His people under the Law, to God in His people by grace through faith in Jesus Messiah, who at this point was God with His people. The manifestation of His Message in believers is the operation of imparting eternal Life – John 6:63; James 1:18; I Peter 1:23). Truly, I assure you, The hour is coming—and is now being heralded by signs and wonders—when the [spiritually] dead (Matthew 8:22) shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live (John 4:23 – Jesus was pointing His disciples from the Law of sin and death to grace and eternal Life through faith in their kinsman Redeemer with the promise of Spiritual resurrection or new birth for the saints from Pentecost to the Laodicea Church Age which closed in March, 1963, through His mediation in the office of Son of God for their ignorance of the fullness of the Word while the Bible was sealed). As the Father has eternal Life in Himself, so has He granted the Son to have eternal Life in Himself; and has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of man" in this holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of the Pentecostal feast following the revelation of the Seven Seals.
"Do not be astonished at this: for the hour is coming when all who are in the graves shall hear His voice, and come out; those who have done good to the resurrection of eternal Life; and those who have done evil to the resurrection of damnation." (This is not the spiritual resurrection or new birth of the Church under His dispensations of Son of God and Son of man, but the second or general resurrection for the White Throne Judgment one thousand years later (Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20:7-15). "I can do nothing on My own authority: I judge as I hear, I judge and My judgment is just, because I seek not My own will, but the will of Him who sent me."
You may think I am being pedantic but the "Voice of the Archangel" is Jesus Christ in you, placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation to bring you to maturity in the unity of the faith so you will be qualified to speak the Word for the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God. As Peter turned the "[faith] keys of the Kingdom of heaven" to initiate the new birth for Israelites, Samaritans and Gentiles (Matthew 16:19, Acts 2:14-41; 8:14-17; 10:34-48), our Message is the fullness of the Word, which is "the keys of Hell and of Death," so that when the last member of Christ's end-time Bride has come in, there will be a resurrection of the sleeping saints who will appear to many in new Jerusalem, as they are reunited with precious Brethren and loved ones, while the living saints manifest that they are the Sons of God. These are waved as a two loaves baked with leaven, then translated (Romans 11:25; Revelation 1:18; Leviticus 23:15-21). As Christ's end-time Bride we must recognize our position in the Word, otherwise we will not know our place in the Body and find ourselves impersonating the dispensations of Luther, Wesley, the Pentecostals, or the Word for some other day gone by (I John 1:7).
"The trumpet of God" will be Israel's Seventh Trumpet (Revelation 11:15) signaling the end of the Gentile dispensation and calling Israel to a memorial of blowing of Trumpets, which will be the revelation of the Seven Trumpet mysteries preached by the Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11. There will be an earthquake as there was at the end of the dispensation of the Law, an earthquake more powerful than any since men were upon earth. "The dead in Christ shall rise first. Afterward we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air." We meet one another before we meet Him; the saints from Pentecost to Laodicea will resurrect dispensation by dispensation, while we as a hunted and persecuted little group manifest that we are the Sons of God. This will not be a public demonstration, but the exercise of the 'third pull' for the provision of our necessities by the spoken Word that we may know the exceeding greatness the resurrection power which God wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and translated Him in heavenly places. The manifestation of the Sons of God is for the purpose of instilling faith for translation grace, for as God raised Christ by the operation of His own faith, we must apply the greatness of God's resurrection power so that when one of the resurrected saints appears to us, that encounter will instantly supercharge our faith to change in the atoms without death into glorified flesh, and caught up together with our resurrected Brethren. Mothers and fathers will meet one another. Children and loved ones will meet, then we'll be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
God sent us a prophet in the same spirit as John the Baptist to introduce Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming. But how will churchgoers know him unless they are constantly in the Word to know what they should be looking for? Daniel said, "The wise shall understand." So we must circumcise our hearts from the things of the world and separate from the world church system as the "Voice of the Archangel" confirms the spoken Word in the written Word (Revelation 18:1-4).
Naturally we would like to know when the earthquake that marks the close of the Gentile dispensation will take place? Political, economic, religious and social affairs moving at a quickening pace toward a climax and the fulfillment of Scriptures. According to the shadows and types of the Law the Gentile dispensation will end and the earthquake will take place one Nisan 14 very very soon.
Brother Branham said, "They're going to find out someday that they're not seeing a hundred and fifty million years of light space . . . they're going right around in a circle. . . You're going to find out one of these days that when you go to heaven, you don't fly off somewhere else; you're still right here, just in another dimension faster than this. Right through this room's coming color. Every color shirt, dress, whatever you got on is eternal, laying right on records, going around and around the world. Every time you bat your eyes, it's right on record. . . television will prove that. . . If Einstein had only had the spiritual application, as he had the physical application . . . he could've told us something. When I heard his message on that great center somewhere into the skies, that whoever contacted with that center, could create earths, do anything—the power would be unlimited" (Christ Revealed in His Own Word, p. 14:63, 67; Ephesians 1:17-20).

The Mystery of Divine Government
Bible Believers' Newsletter #563
"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660
Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are pleased you could join us in fellowship around God's unchanging Word.
In Newsletter #548 I made reference to a vision the Lord showed Brother Branham in 1961 wherein he shot a caribou with forty-two inch horns, and afterwards a silver tip grizzly bear. The vision came to pass, confirming its deeper symbolism will also be fulfilled. I said, "I have long believed this animal Brother Branham saw in the vision and later shot signified the total number of US presidents to the end of the Gentile dispensation".
According to media terminology there is now a 44th President in the White House, however he is in fact the 43rd individual to be president. In Newsletter #430 I explained: President Grover Cleveland served two terms in the late 19th century. When he began his first term in office he was the 22nd President. Benjamin Harrison defeated him in the next election and became the 23rd President. When Cleveland defeated Harrison in the next election and took office for his second term he was still only the 22nd individual since George Washington to hold the office of President. Taking this fact into account, George W. Bush was the 42nd President of the United States.
Referring to Bullinger's "Number in Scripture" I wrote, 42 is a number connected with Antichrist (Revelation 11:2; 13:5).
42 Generations from Abraham to Jesus.
42 stages of Israel's wanderings mark their conflict with the will of God.
42 Kings from David to the Babylonian captivity.
42 Emperors in Rome till the institution of Papal Rome (by the reckoning of some).
42 Presidents of the USA to the close of the Gentile dispensation.
There were:
42 churches that agreed to sponsor a series of Brother Branham's meetings but unbelief overcame them all so that he had no sponsoring churches.
And here will be:
42 months during which God will deal with 144,000 elect Israelites through the ministry of two Hebrew prophets.
I also spoke of dictatorship. Whatever takes place, the US Constitution is "broke a little more" as Brother Branham said it would be; there is a fearsome depression on the way as he prophesied, and an imposter in the White House. But whoever was elected would be president of a nation that committed the unforgivable sin in 1956/7, the year America rejected her last opportunity for national repentance. On the downward slope since, her future is one of global brutality as the image to the beast of Imperial Rome to force the mark of the beast for Papal Rome, which is her pagan trinity doctrine.
For many years now, the United States has been practicing for this prophetic role of infamy. She is cold motherless broke, with no productive industry whereby she can produce her way into the black. Soon Los Angeles and much of California will sink, eliminating some 25 percent of GNP, collapsing the dollar and world economy. Russia will invade and briefly occupy the mainland, throwing the nation and the world into Rome's totalitarian one world government which will pay handsomely for the mercenary services of the blooded US military.
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 Problem with Obama. . .
January 22, 2009 – A "New Beginning," or . . . Same Stuff, Different Color? The more things "change," the more they stay the same.
On 20th January, a major part of America's citizenry celebrated the arrival of Barack Obama as the new president of the United States, with his promise for "Change" and his proposal for "hope instead of fear." The breaking of racial barriers in the land of the Ku Klux Klan, where until the 50's and 60's mixed marriages between blacks and whites were illegal and would land you in jail in Southern states like Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina and Arkansas (and yet hypocrisy and ignorance made millions of Americans feel "outraged" at the 1935 Nazi Nuremberg Racial Laws!), mark a turning point in US history symbolized by the reborn spirit of Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln and the Kennedy's.
America's present joy with its new president is shared by the overwhelming majority of global public opinion, not so much because of the optimism Obama's arrival inspires, but rather because of the relief that Bush's and Cheney's departure gives. Naturally, Obama has a daunting task before him, but he personally has the support of the better part of his people who seem ready to make great sacrifices to overcome gigantic economic, financial, banking, military, political, diplomatic and social disasters Obama inherits from the Bush Era.
So far, so good.
However, the problem with Obama is not Obama himself, a mostly unknown and inexperienced American politician. The problem with Obama is the very powerful group of key officers and aides that surround the new president, which one is led to believe were not freely chosen by Obama; rather, they seem to have been imposed upon Obama by the New World Order Power Structure that for many decades wields control over the United States, and without whose complacency, agreement and support Barack Obama would probably have never made it outside of the political borders of his home state of Illinois. . .

BUSH Legacy: Sellout
January 16, 2009 – Fearing the North Slope oil find might trigger a "black gold rush" like the Oil Creek "oil rush" during the Civil War, with potential to collapse the wholesale price of oil worldwide, lobbyists for the Seven Sisters and the oil industry-financed environment movement petitioned Truman to create a wildlife habitant where oil drilling would be banned.
Just as the global banking cartel controls the price of money and the availability of credit by manipulating the fractional reserve to expand and contract the economy at whim, the fossil fuel cartel control the retail prices of all of the world's fossil fuels by manipulating the futures market to expand and contract the supply of crude oil, natural gas and, at the pump, gasoline and home heating oil. . .
The seabed regulations have created a bizarre regulatory regime which is antagonistic to commerce, exploration and investment. L.O.S.T. treats the ocean's "unowned" seabed resources as property of the United Nations. The same happens with mineral wealth in the seabeds of the protected marine reserves. . . under the seabeds in the Pacific Remote Islands is the world's largest oil and natural gas reserves. Preliminary estimates suggest the oil and natural gas reserves under the Pacific Remote Islands Monument will dwarf the combined reserves under the North Slope or Alaska and the Arabian Peninsula. . . Clearly, the purpose of nationalizing 335 thousand square miles of the South Pacific seabeds was to place thousands of miles of unowned seabeds off limit by preventing entrepreneurial oil speculators from tapping into some of the richest oil and natural gas properties in the world. . .

Comment: This monstrous, systemic fraud by Mammonite political and business leaders, and Lucifer's United Nations helps us understand how US 'diplomats' offered the Taliban government of Afghanistan US$43 million taxpayer dollars to build oil and gas pipelines, saying, "either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs" (Inter Press Service, November 15 2001), then together with her sister colonies of 'the City' and NATO, the US initiated war to steal the land.
The Rockefeller family, which owns a controlling interest in the Seven Sisters (that evolved into ten oil companies then slowly began merging back into the original Standard Oil (under the name Exxon-Mobil in order to exercise more global clout): Mobil, Exxon, Chevron, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Standard Oil of Ohio, Amoco, Sunoco, Conoco, Texaco, Atlantic Richfield, and British Petroleum [now known as BP America]) has, throughout most of its tainted history, been very conscious of the public's perception of the Rockefeller name since that perception has never been good. The Seven Sisters and Royal Dutch Shell actually own, in partnership agreements with the Arab nations, a piece of almost every oil well in the Mideast, in what is now called Russia, and in the South Pacific with the People's Republic of China. A secret agreement was signed between Exxon/Mobil, Texaco/Amoco and the People's Republic of China almost two years ago to "farm" what is believed to be the largest untapped oil reserve in the world in the South China Sea around the Pacific islands America won from Japan in World War II. Those islands: Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnson Atoll, Kingman Reef, Nassau Island and Palmyra Island were abandoned by the Clinton-Gore Administration. When residents on those islands petitioned Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to re-establish American sovereignty on them, Albright refused to recognize their "American" status. When the Clinton Administration renounced American claims to the islands, the People's Republic of China claimed sovereignty of over 300 thousand square miles of the South China Sea—precisely where these massive oil deposits were discovered over 20 years ago. Immediately after this occurred, the People's Republic of China announced a joint IPO with Exxon/Mobil and Texaco/Amoco. Now, in addition to the Seven Sisters being in bed with Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria and our tepid pseudo-allies in the Gulf States, we now learn that the Seven Sisters are also in bed with our most dedicated enemy (and most recent "trading partner" who dumps trillions of dollars of slave labor goods in America every year and trades the balance of payments for weapons systems which they have promised to use to destroy us in a nuclear firestorm when they are sufficiently armed).
Since a growing number of Americans are beginning to realize that American and European oil cartels own a major interest in the Mideast oil fields, do oil companies—whose foundations control the education curriculum of every university they endow—have a growing need to paint Islam as a religion of peace? You bet your life they do.

Kitties are worth more than Babies
January 9, 2009 – "Take some kittens, some tender little moggies in a box," said Jamal, a surgeon at the Al Shifa, Gaza's main hospital, while a nurse actually placed a couple of blood-stained cardboard boxes in front of us. "Seal up the box, then jump on it with all your weight and might, until you feel their little bones crunching, and you hear the last muffled little mew." I stared at the boxes in astonishment, and the doctor continued: "Try to imagine what would happen after such images were circulated. The righteous outrage of public opinion, the complaints of the animal rights organisations. . . "The doctors went on in this vein, and I was unable to take my eyes off those boxes, sitting at our feet.
"Israel trapped hundreds of civilians inside a school as if in a box, including many children, and then crushed them with all the might of its bombs. What were the world's reactions? Almost nothing. We would have been better off as animals rather than Palestinians, we would have been more protected." At this point the doctor leans towards one of the boxes, and takes its lid off in front of me. Inside it are the amputated limbs, legs and arms, some from the knee down, others with the entire femur attached, amputated from the injured at the Al Fakhura United Nations school in Jabalia, which resulted in more than fifty casualties. . .
A little earlier I'd been involved in a conversation with Dr. Abdel, an ophthalmologist, regarding the rumours that the Israeli Army had been showering us with non-conventional weapons, forbidden by the Geneva Convention, such as cluster bombs and white phosphorous. The very same that the Tsahal Army used in the last Lebanese war, as well as the US air force in Falluja, still violating international norms. . . There's no doubt that using this weapon in Gaza, a strip of land concentrating the highest population rate in the world, is a crime all on its own. . . What he finds inexplicable is the total lack of eyeballs. . . Instead, we see Palestinian corpses coming into the hospitals without eyes at all, as if someone had removed them surgically before handing them over to the coroner. . . Full story: alor.org
Comment: Israeli Zionists are dehumanised pawns of the 'hidden hand' used to create implacable hatred essential to their plans for the "hot stage" of a brief World War III.

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine
February 7, 2007 – Ilan Pappe is an Israeli historian and senior lecturer at Haifa University. He's also Academic Director of the Research Institute for Peace at Givat Haviva and Chair of the Emil Touma Institute for Palestinian Studies. Pappe is an expert on Israel and Zionism and the Palestinians' Right of Return to their homeland, is considered "an honourable academic with integrity and conscience," and is a member of the Advisory Board of the Council for Palestinian Restitution and Repatriation (CPRR), an organization declaring that "every Palestinian has a legitimate, individual right to return to his or her original home and to absolute restitution of his or her property". . .
In his preface, Pappe writes about the "Red House" in Tel-Aviv that became headquarters for the Hagana, the dominant Zionist underground paramilitary militia during the British Mandate period in Palestine between 1920 and 1948 when the Jewish state came into being. He details how David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, met with leading Zionists and young Jewish military officers on March 10, 1948 to finalize plans to ethnically cleanse Palestine that unfolded in the months that followed including "large-scale (deadly serious) intimidation; laying siege to and bombarding villages and population centres; setting fire to homes, properties and goods; expulsion; demolition; and finally, planting mines among the rubble to prevent any of the expelled inhabitants from returning."
The final master plan was called Plan D (Dalet in Hebrew) following plans A, B, and C preceding it. It was to be a war without mercy complying with what Ben-Gurion said in June, 1938 to the Jewish Agency Executive and never wavering from later: "I am for compulsory transfer; I do not see anything immoral in it." Plan D became the way to do it. It included forcible expulsion of hundreds of thousands of unwanted Palestinian Arabs in urban and rural areas accompanied by an unknown number of others mass-slaughtered to get it done. The goal was simple and straightforward—to create an exclusive Jewish state without an Arab presence by any means including mass-murder.
Once begun, the whole ugly business took six months to complete. It expelled about 800,000 people, killed many others, and destroyed 531 villages and 11 urban neighborhoods in cities like Tel-Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem. The action was a clear case of ethnic cleansing that international law today calls a crime against humanity for which convicted Nazis at Nuremberg were hanged. So far Israelis have always remained immune from international law even though names of guilty leaders and those charged with implementing their orders are known as well as the crimes they committed.
They included cold-blooded mass-murder; destruction of homes, villages and crops; rapes; other atrocities; and massacres of defenseless people given no quarter including women and children. The crimes were suppressed and expunged from official accounts as Israeli historiography cooked up the myth that Palestinians left voluntarily fearing harm from invading Arab armies. It was a lie covering up Israeli crimes Palestinians call the Nakba—the catastrophe or disaster that's still a cold, harsh festering unresolved injustice.
. . . in 1949 were labor camps where thousands of Palestinian prisoners were held under military rule for forced labor for all tasks that could strengthen the economy or aid the military. Conditions in them were deplorable and included working in quarries carrying heavy stones, living on one potato in the morning and half a dried fish at noon. Anyone complaining was beaten severely, and others were singled out for summary execution if they were considered a threat. Life outside prison and labor camps wasn't much better. Red Cross representatives sent their Geneva headquarters reports of collective human rights abuses including finding piles of dead bodies. . . Their places of worship were profaned and schools vandalized. Those still with homes were robbed with impunity by looters in broad daylight. They took everything they wanted—furniture, clothing, anything useful for Jewish immigrants entering the new Jewish state. . . Palestinians, fed up with Fatah betrayal, democratically elected a Hamas government in January, 2006 foiling Israeli efforts to assure their complicit allies would again prevail. When they didn't, Israel denounced the results, never accepted Hamas as a peace partner, refused to negotiate with them in good faith, and acted ever since in bad faith to destroy Hamas and punish the Palestinian people for their "wrong" choice. That's how things always work under rules of imperial management practiced by the US and its Israeli partner complicit in their collective attempt to destroy a democratically elected government misportraying them as "terrorists" to get the West to go along and the public to believe it. . .
Now there's the further threat of one Palestinian faction facing off against the other. On one side is the besieged Hamas-led government already in tatters from months of harsh sanctions and daily Israeli assaults. On the other are corrupted Fatah forces loyal to PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas acting as a quisling proxy comprador enforcer for Israeli and US imperial interests for everything he stands to gain selling out his people for crumbs handed him and his cronies. They're being armed to the teeth to do it, and George Bush announced he's helping further by transferring $86 million to Abbas while starving Hamas and most Palestinians. . .

Comment: Moses spoke the truth (Genesis 3:15). So did Louis Marshall when he stated, "Zionism is but an incident of a far reaching plan, It is merely a convenient peg on which to hang a powerful weapon".
"Israel is engulfed once more with righteous fury that translates into destructive policies in the Gaza Strip. This appalling self-justification for the inhumanity and impunity is not just annoying, it is a subject worth dwelling on, if one wants to understand the international immunity for the massacre that rages on in Gaza. It is based first and foremost on sheer lies transmitted with a newspeak reminiscent of darker days in 1930s Europe. Every half an hour a news bulletin on the radio and television describes the victims of Gaza as terrorists and Israel's massive killings of them as an act of self-defence (Ilan Pappe, January 3, 2009).

The Mystery of Divine Government
Genesis 2:16-17, "The Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat: but of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die".
John 6:63, "It is the Spirit that makes alive, the flesh is of no avail; the Words I have spoken to you are Spirit [in a form you can receive by faith], and they are eternal Life." But the man forsook the obedience of faith, thus:
Galatians 3:22, "The Scripture has all men imprisoned under sin, so that the promise might be given to them that believe by faith in Jesus Christ".
The Divine government will be inspired government by agreement of faith, not by Law. "The Law is not made for an honest man but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers, for sodomites, kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine." The Divine government is for a justified people living in a just world. We will have a foretaste of Divine government when we exercise the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God. "And it shall come to pass that before they call I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear" (John 17:21-26; Isaiah 65:24).
Paul was the prophet to whom God revealed the New Testament; everything Paul enjoined is based solidly on the Law of Moses and the Old Testament prophets, magnified and written by revelation in fleshy tables of the heart. Paul challenged his critics, "If anyone ever had reason to hope that he could save himself, it would be I. If others could be saved by what they are, certainly I could: circumcised the eighth day, not a so-called Jew but a blood Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, persecuting the Church; as to righteousness under the Law, blameless. But all these things that I once thought eminently worthwhile I regard as excrement in order that I may put my trust and hope in Christ" (Philippians 3:4-8).
Anyone who is impersonating elements of the Law—such as sabbath day observance which denies Jesus' resurrection—is condemned by God (Galatians 4:1-11; Colossians 2:8 – 3:17; Hebrews 4:1-11). The Law was given to Israel alone as a curse for no man can keep the Law and those under the Law are under sentence of death (Leviticus 18:5; Nehemiah 8:29; Galatians 3:10-12). For under the Law no one is just before God, and "the soul that sins shall surely die" (Ezekiel 18:4). Justification is by grace through faith in Adam's kinsman Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
John 8:34-36, "Everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not continue in the house forever: but the Son remains forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed".
Israel is God's servant nation, but throughout the Gentile dispensation individual Israelites have had the opportunity of becoming His Sons. Galatians 4:5, "Jesus came to purchase the freedom of those who were imprisoned as slaves under the Law so that they may be placed and recognized as God's Sons".
John 1:11-13, "Jesus came to His own nation, and Israel received Him not. But to those who did receive him and believed on His Name, He granted authority to become children of God, who owe their birth neither to human blood, nor physical urge, but to God".
But why? Because all men are "born in sin and conceived in iniquity," so no man can be justified by the works of the Law (Hebrews 10:38-39).
Remember, the Law was given to Israel alone after they had committed the unforgivable sin of despising God's grace by rejecting the Holy Spirit at Kadesh-Barnea. Instantly the names of those adults were blotted from the Book of Life, and they are lost (Numbers 13-14; Psalm 95:7-11; John 6:49; Jude 5). In face of the sure penalty that befell those who spurned God's grace, whose posterity have suffered under this curse for nigh 3,500 years, will you also despise grace? "Now that you have found God, (or rather, now that God has found you), how can it be that you want to return to the weak and beggarly elements of useless religion, as slaves once more (Deuteronomy 15:12-17)? You observe days, and months, and festivals, and years. You make me fear I have laboured over you in vain" (Galatians 4:8-11).
You should realize the Law cannot be observed outside Israel. Paul called you "Foolish!" Asking, "Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was so graphically presented as crucified? Let me ask you one question: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of faith? Have you gone completely insane? If trying to obey the Law never gave you eternal Life in the first place, do you think that trying to obey it now will bring you to perfection without the Spirit" (Galatians 3:1-3)?
Isaiah 42 speaks of two servants of Jehovah, old Israel who failed Him, and new Israel, Jesus Messiah, through whom "He will magnify the Law and make it honourable"—not the Torah, whose end Messiah became when God "forgave Israel all of their trespasses, canceling the bond that stood against them with its legal demands, and took it out of the way when He nailed it to His cross" (Colossians 2:14; Matthew 5:17-48).
Jesus said it is given to us as His disciples to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of heaven. One such mystery is the sovereignty of Divine government that has imprisoned all men in unbelief and determined Israel's Spiritual blindness during the Gentile dispensation. Romans 11:25, "Lest you Gentiles become wise according to your own conceit and boastful, I do not want you brethren to be ignorant of the mystery of the hardening and Spiritual blindness that has come over Israel with respect to the Gospel, until the full number of elect Gentiles is baptized into the Kingdom of Heaven".
The nation of Israel was blinded by the carnal interpretations of their priests and rabbis, and although God deals with Israel as a nation, and all Israel will be born-again in one day, the elect nation is restricted to 144,000 blood Israelites physically descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob because God will be honouring the Covenant He has made with the Patriarchs, not the mixed multitude who have stolen the Name and heritage of Israel for political and material advantage.
Isaiah 59:1-19 explains that it is not that the Lord is impotent and unable to come to the aid of Israel, or that he has not heard their cries, but that sin has separated the nation from God. Their hands are the hands of murderers, their fingers drip with iniquity, their lips speak lies and there is no justice in their mouths so that their inward corruption reveals itself outwardly. He compares the Israelites to poisonous serpents who produce poisonous eggs, and to spiders that draw a poisonous web from their inward corruption. Thus the works of the Israelites are positively ruinous, and deadly.
The Law has not made an unrighteous people righteous, or just in His sight. They can only be justified by grace through faith in Jesus Messiah. The folly of the nation whose Talmudic hubris claims they are their own collective Messiah will soon be manifest when thousands of them perish like dogs paying sin's price, yet fail to resurrect in order to redeem their kindred (Kethuboth 111a, note 52; Psalm 16:10; Ezekiel 5:2, 12; Zechariah 13:8-9; Revelation 9:15, 18; 16:19).
Speaking in Romans 11:26-27 of the immediate future in this day when the iniquity of the Amorites—cursed since the First Nicea Council—is full once again, and Israel enters the Blessing of Abraham's promise long held by the Church, Paul quotes from Isaiah 59:20-21: "The Redeemer shall come from Zion to those in Jacob who turn from sin, says the Lord. As for Me, this is My Covenant with them, says the Lord; My Spirit that is upon you, and My Words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed, from henceforth and for ever, says the Lord," concerning Israel's new birth by the spoken Word of their two prophets.
Isaiah 27 also deals with Israel's redemption in the day of the Lord. It describes the present gathering of worldly powers for the brief "hot stage" of World War III, which will be Ezekiel 38 and 39, at the sounding of the Great or Seventh Trumpet (Isaiah 27:13; Matthew 24:31; I Corinthians 15:52; I Thessalonians 4:16). This will call genuine sons of Israel and Judah to gather to the Land of the Covenant for their redemption—mainly from the countries of Assyria and Egypt, signified by the "fleeing serpent" or swift-flowing Tigris, the "crooked serpent" of the meandering Euphrates, and "the stream of Egypt" or Wadi el-Arish (Isaiah 11:11-16; Ezekiel 34:4, 16). However there are a great many internal enemies within Israel, imposters Isaiah calls "thorns and thistles," which, like those in church circles that "bear thorns and briars" and are presently being gathered in cults and clans such as the ecumenical and charismatic movements, and World Council of Churches ready to be burned, have no part in God's Covenant with the Fathers (Matthew 13:40-42; Hebrews 6:8).
The naming of Jacob and Israel here, as in Ezekiel 37, signifies the reunion of all twelve Tribes (Psalm 17:7; Isaiah 6:10-13; 11:11; 19:23-24; 27:13; Jeremiah 3:12, 18; 16:15; 23:8; 31:8; Ezekiel 39:27; Micah 5:3; Zechariah 10:8; Matthew 24:31, etc). We are very close to the hour.
The greatest reproach to an Israelite is to be exiled from the land of the Covenant. Such excommunication is the most severe punishment Jehovah inflicts upon the people of Israel (Deuteronomy 4:25-40; 28:36 63-68; 29:28). With "His rough breath" of judgment He blew Israel and Judah into exile for chastisement and purification (Isaiah 27:8-9). He does not exterminate Israel as He exterminates His enemies.
This "purging of the iniquity of Jacob" will lead to the fulfillment of the sixfold purpose of Gabriel's visit to Daniel after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week and the birth of the nation in one day—all 144,000 of them (Daniel 9:24; Isaiah 66:8; Romans 11:26-27).
Romans 11:28-32, "As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes [that you may receive the grace of God in "the blessing of Abraham" or new birth – Genesis 28:3; Galatians 3:14]: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance," or irrevocable (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8). Clearly, if the Abrahamic Covenant with Abraham's natural seed is abrogated, it is of no effect to his Spiritual Seed, and Paul's preaching is without force. As Levi was accounted as paying tithes in Abraham (Hebrews 7:9), and the elect of God are accounted as having paid sin's price in Christ on Calvary, rising justified in Him (Romans 4:25) and seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (II Corinthians 5:13-18; Ephesians 2:6), the elect blood Israelites are partakers in the gifts of their fathers. Conversely, the non-Semitic self-styled Jews, who are unrelated to the fathers, have no part in the Covenant. All Jews who are in Adam's race and elect of God will be in the Church with all other Gentiles. Romans 9:6, "Not as though the Word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel." In other Words, only the elect of God can receive the Word of God.
"For as you Gentiles were disobedient to God in times past when the Word was revealed to you through creation (Romans 1:19-21) but have now received mercy because of Israel's disobedience: now Israel has been disobedient so that through the mercy you are presently enjoying they also may obtain mercy. [Ultimately through the apostasy of the Church]." I suspect many teachers would understand, "Now Israel has been disobedient so that through the mercy you are presently enjoying they also may obtain mercy . . . and apply Romans 11:11: "being provoked to jealousy of your faith through the mercy you have received," forgetting God deals with Israel as a nation, and only after "the full number of elect Gentiles has been baptized into Christ," confirmed by the manifestation of the Sixth Seal, Seventh Vial and Seventh Trump calling Daniel's Seventieth Week of tribulation, will Israel obtain mercy. Israel will be blind until some time beyond that point, and will be born under the revelation of her Seven Trumpet mysteries, not by Brother Branham's Message of the Seven Seals. "For God has shut up or imprisoned all men under disobedience, that He might have mercy upon all."
Romans 5:12, "Through Adam's disobedience [in taking Eve back to himself (Leviticus 21:9) thereby forfeiting his dominion to Satan] sin entered the world, and death through sin; and so death passed on to all men, because all have sinned." As all are "born in sin and conceived in iniquity," all men are shut up together under disobedience, for God is no respecter of persons in Adam's race, whether they be Israelites or Gentiles. And although God shows His mercy to "whomsoever will" in Adam's race, at least sufficient for salvation, His mercy is generally not accepted because it requires men to bring the five senses of the body—sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch; and the five senses of their mortal spirit—conscience, memory, affection, imagination and reasoning, under submission to the revealed Word of the hour, and by yielding to nature under the dominion of Satan rather than disciplining their senses to a soul united with the Word, men exclude themselves from the Kingdom, and even salvation. God is not an arbitrary judge and has placed each of Adam's descendants on the basis of free moral agency, to do or to refuse. Being omniscient He knew by foreknowledge before there was a world how each of us would choose and thereby determine our own destiny, and so each of us is predestinated (I Peter 1:2).
Peter, Paul, Jude and Brother Branham called those who have rejected the present Truth, souls imprisoned now. Like Esau, they are spiritually dead while physically alive, having crossed from mercy to judgment with no possibility of repentance because their names are blotted from the Book of Life. There are three groups of people on this earth. First are those who are elect according of God's foreknowledge. Their lives are written epistles of the Word for their day, known and read by all men, which is the Token of the Life of Christ on display. Their names were written in the Lamb's Book of Life, which is the genealogy of Jesus Christ for they are born of the spoken Word. As Attributes of the Logos they are eternal Life and can never be removed. These are the saints of the Old Testament, the New Testament Church, and 144,000 Israelite martyrs of the tribulation. These have genuine "eternal security," being sealed to the day of their physical redemption and glorification by the baptism with the Holy Ghost which is the new birth.
Secondly, various classes of the "saved" whose names remain in the Book of Life, which is the genealogy of Adam, will be granted into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment by Jesus Christ and the New Testament saints (I Corinthians 6:2). These include the foolish virgin, who are justified and sanctified, but not born-again. It is possible for one to be justified and not sanctified, sanctified without being justified, and both justified and sanctified and ultimately lost. Being foolish these virgin are not born-again either because they were slothful, and having neglected to "search the Scriptures daily, proving all things personally, and holding fast that which is good" received a second-hand religion from Brother Anthony or their pastor. Or perhaps their pastor is a good man who believes the "letter" of the Prophet's Message without a revelation of what it means, and the "foolish" virgin, "ever learning—to say what the tapes say—are never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth" (II Timothy 3:7).
Others of Adam's race who will be among the "saved" include live-born children who die before the age of accountability. Still-born or aborted children were never on the Book of Life because in order to be a human one must possess a body, mortal spirit and a soul, and they were never more than a body. Israelites martyred for their testimony of Mosaic faith under the Fifth Seal from Pentecost to the close of the Gentile dispensation will be granted into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment although they did not believe Jesus was the Messiah (Revelation 6:9-11). Even heathens whose moral principles cause them to prefer martyrdom to accepting the mark of the Beast in their forehead, which is Rome's trinitarian dogma, or the mark in the hand, which signifies doing the bidding of Roman and her (once) Protestant or US image. Those who have been good and kind to the Bride will also be among the "saved" (Revelation 13:15-18; Matthew 25:31-46).
Thirdly are those of Adam's race whose names have been removed from the Book of Life. These people are lost together with Cain's descendants, whose names have never been in the Book of Life since they are not in Adam's race. These are born lost since Jesus Messiah is the last Adam, He is not the last Cain.
Galatians 3:15-24, "Speaking in terms of human relationships, no one annuls a person's last will, or adds to it once it has been ratified. Now the promises were made to Abraham and his Seed singular. It does not say, And to seeds, plural; but refers to one, And to your Seed, which is Christ. This is the point: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, cannot invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to annul the promise. If the inheritance is by the Law, then it is no longer by promise: but God has given it to Abraham through a promise."
"Why then was the Law given? It was added because of transgressions, [to show sins in their true light], until the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and the Law was ordained through angels by means of a mediator. Now a mediator does not appertain to one party acting alone, and concerning the unconditional promise, God is one party who stood and acted alone and used no mediator".
So in delivering the curse of the Law, which is conditional, Moses was a mediator between two parties—God and Israel, but the promise was without a mediator. And in this present holy convocation of the fiftieth day of the antitype of Israel's Pentecostal feast, Christ's Bride is without a Mediator and must stand alone on her faith in the promise, and speak the Word in the manifestation of the Sons of God, to put on grace for translation faith.
"Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not: for if a law had been given which could make alive, righteousness would proceed from it with the same effect as the promise, and then righteousness would be by the Law. But the Scriptures insist we are all sin's prisoners, and the power to give life was denied the Law so that the promise of escape is given only to those who believe by faith in Jesus Christ."
The Law is itself righteous, but its function is to expose sin and condemn the guilty to imprisonment unto death with no power of reprieve. The Law can sanctify those who abide in it, but this is by merit of works and has no power to make men just, because justification is a free gift of God by grace through faith alone (Romans 5). Therefore those without faith remain sinners, shut up under the dominion of sin unto death which is the curse brought upon all men who are without Christ, and those trying to obtain righteousness by observing the works of the Law are doing despite to faith.
"But before faith came, we were confined under the Law, kept under constraint until the faith should be revealed, so that the Law served as our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, in order that we might be justified by faith." The Law was given only until such time as the Seed should come to whom it was promised. And the objective of "shutting up" all men under sin in consequence of which the Law could not make alive was so that the promise should be given by faith to this Seed as the firstfruit of promise since the promise was only to Jesus Christ and to others through Him as their kinsman Redeemer (I Corinthians 15:20, 23; Colossians 1:18; Galatians 3:16; Hebrews 2:10). So the inheritance is now attainable for sinful men by grace, but only through justification by faith in Jesus Christ.
God is sovereign. His Divine government is administered by grace through faith to Sons who know the mind of the Lord so "that before we call, He will answer; and while we are yet speaking, He will hear". nl563.htm

"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660
Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are pleased you could join us in fellowship around God's unchanging Word.
In Newsletter #548 I made reference to a vision the Lord showed Brother Branham in 1961 wherein he shot a caribou with forty-two inch horns, and afterwards a silver tip grizzly bear. The vision came to pass, confirming its deeper symbolism will also be fulfilled. I said, "I have long believed this animal Brother Branham saw in the vision and later shot signified the total number of US presidents to the end of the Gentile dispensation".
According to media terminology there is now a 44th President in the White House, however he is in fact the 43rd individual to be president. In Newsletter #430 I explained: President Grover Cleveland served two terms in the late 19th century. When he began his first term in office he was the 22nd President. Benjamin Harrison defeated him in the next election and became the 23rd President. When Cleveland defeated Harrison in the next election and took office for his second term he was still only the 22nd individual since George Washington to hold the office of President. Taking this fact into account, George W. Bush was the 42nd President of the United States.
Referring to Bullinger's "Number in Scripture" I wrote, 42 is a number connected with Antichrist (Revelation 11:2; 13:5).
42 Generations from Abraham to Jesus.
42 stages of Israel's wanderings mark their conflict with the will of God.
42 Kings from David to the Babylonian captivity.
42 Emperors in Rome till the institution of Papal Rome (by the reckoning of some).
42 Presidents of the USA to the close of the Gentile dispensation.
There were:
42 churches that agreed to sponsor a series of Brother Branham's meetings but unbelief overcame them all so that he had no sponsoring churches.
And here will be:
42 months during which God will deal with 144,000 elect Israelites through the ministry of two Hebrew prophets.
I also spoke of dictatorship. Whatever takes place, the US Constitution is "broke a little more" as Brother Branham said it would be; there is a fearsome depression on the way as he prophesied, and an imposter in the White House. But whoever was elected would be president of a nation that committed the unforgivable sin in 1956/7, the year America rejected her last opportunity for national repentance. On the downward slope since, her future is one of global brutality as the image to the beast of Imperial Rome to force the mark of the beast for Papal Rome, which is her pagan trinity doctrine.
For many years now, the United States has been practicing for this prophetic role of infamy. She is cold motherless broke, with no productive industry whereby she can produce her way into the black. Soon Los Angeles and much of California will sink, eliminating some 25 percent of GNP, collapsing the dollar and world economy. Russia will invade and briefly occupy the mainland, throwing the nation and the world into Rome's totalitarian one world government which will pay handsomely for the mercenary services of the blooded US military.
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.

The Problem with Obama. . .
January 22, 2009 – A "New Beginning," or . . . Same Stuff, Different Color? The more things "change," the more they stay the same.
On 20th January, a major part of America's citizenry celebrated the arrival of Barack Obama as the new president of the United States, with his promise for "Change" and his proposal for "hope instead of fear." The breaking of racial barriers in the land of the Ku Klux Klan, where until the 50's and 60's mixed marriages between blacks and whites were illegal and would land you in jail in Southern states like Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina and Arkansas (and yet hypocrisy and ignorance made millions of Americans feel "outraged" at the 1935 Nazi Nuremberg Racial Laws!), mark a turning point in US history symbolized by the reborn spirit of Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln and the Kennedy's.
America's present joy with its new president is shared by the overwhelming majority of global public opinion, not so much because of the optimism Obama's arrival inspires, but rather because of the relief that Bush's and Cheney's departure gives. Naturally, Obama has a daunting task before him, but he personally has the support of the better part of his people who seem ready to make great sacrifices to overcome gigantic economic, financial, banking, military, political, diplomatic and social disasters Obama inherits from the Bush Era.
So far, so good.
However, the problem with Obama is not Obama himself, a mostly unknown and inexperienced American politician. The problem with Obama is the very powerful group of key officers and aides that surround the new president, which one is led to believe were not freely chosen by Obama; rather, they seem to have been imposed upon Obama by the New World Order Power Structure that for many decades wields control over the United States, and without whose complacency, agreement and support Barack Obama would probably have never made it outside of the political borders of his home state of Illinois. . .

BUSH Legacy: Sellout
January 16, 2009 – Fearing the North Slope oil find might trigger a "black gold rush" like the Oil Creek "oil rush" during the Civil War, with potential to collapse the wholesale price of oil worldwide, lobbyists for the Seven Sisters and the oil industry-financed environment movement petitioned Truman to create a wildlife habitant where oil drilling would be banned.
Just as the global banking cartel controls the price of money and the availability of credit by manipulating the fractional reserve to expand and contract the economy at whim, the fossil fuel cartel control the retail prices of all of the world's fossil fuels by manipulating the futures market to expand and contract the supply of crude oil, natural gas and, at the pump, gasoline and home heating oil. . .
The seabed regulations have created a bizarre regulatory regime which is antagonistic to commerce, exploration and investment. L.O.S.T. treats the ocean's "unowned" seabed resources as property of the United Nations. The same happens with mineral wealth in the seabeds of the protected marine reserves. . . under the seabeds in the Pacific Remote Islands is the world's largest oil and natural gas reserves. Preliminary estimates suggest the oil and natural gas reserves under the Pacific Remote Islands Monument will dwarf the combined reserves under the North Slope or Alaska and the Arabian Peninsula. . . Clearly, the purpose of nationalizing 335 thousand square miles of the South Pacific seabeds was to place thousands of miles of unowned seabeds off limit by preventing entrepreneurial oil speculators from tapping into some of the richest oil and natural gas properties in the world. . .

Comment: This monstrous, systemic fraud by Mammonite political and business leaders, and Lucifer's United Nations helps us understand how US 'diplomats' offered the Taliban government of Afghanistan US$43 million taxpayer dollars to build oil and gas pipelines, saying, "either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs" (Inter Press Service, November 15 2001), then together with her sister colonies of 'the City' and NATO, the US initiated war to steal the land.
The Rockefeller family, which owns a controlling interest in the Seven Sisters (that evolved into ten oil companies then slowly began merging back into the original Standard Oil (under the name Exxon-Mobil in order to exercise more global clout): Mobil, Exxon, Chevron, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Standard Oil of Ohio, Amoco, Sunoco, Conoco, Texaco, Atlantic Richfield, and British Petroleum [now known as BP America]) has, throughout most of its tainted history, been very conscious of the public's perception of the Rockefeller name since that perception has never been good. The Seven Sisters and Royal Dutch Shell actually own, in partnership agreements with the Arab nations, a piece of almost every oil well in the Mideast, in what is now called Russia, and in the South Pacific with the People's Republic of China. A secret agreement was signed between Exxon/Mobil, Texaco/Amoco and the People's Republic of China almost two years ago to "farm" what is believed to be the largest untapped oil reserve in the world in the South China Sea around the Pacific islands America won from Japan in World War II. Those islands: Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnson Atoll, Kingman Reef, Nassau Island and Palmyra Island were abandoned by the Clinton-Gore Administration. When residents on those islands petitioned Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to re-establish American sovereignty on them, Albright refused to recognize their "American" status. When the Clinton Administration renounced American claims to the islands, the People's Republic of China claimed sovereignty of over 300 thousand square miles of the South China Sea—precisely where these massive oil deposits were discovered over 20 years ago. Immediately after this occurred, the People's Republic of China announced a joint IPO with Exxon/Mobil and Texaco/Amoco. Now, in addition to the Seven Sisters being in bed with Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria and our tepid pseudo-allies in the Gulf States, we now learn that the Seven Sisters are also in bed with our most dedicated enemy (and most recent "trading partner" who dumps trillions of dollars of slave labor goods in America every year and trades the balance of payments for weapons systems which they have promised to use to destroy us in a nuclear firestorm when they are sufficiently armed).
Since a growing number of Americans are beginning to realize that American and European oil cartels own a major interest in the Mideast oil fields, do oil companies—whose foundations control the education curriculum of every university they endow—have a growing need to paint Islam as a religion of peace? You bet your life they do.

Kitties are worth more than Babies
January 9, 2009 – "Take some kittens, some tender little moggies in a box," said Jamal, a surgeon at the Al Shifa, Gaza's main hospital, while a nurse actually placed a couple of blood-stained cardboard boxes in front of us. "Seal up the box, then jump on it with all your weight and might, until you feel their little bones crunching, and you hear the last muffled little mew." I stared at the boxes in astonishment, and the doctor continued: "Try to imagine what would happen after such images were circulated. The righteous outrage of public opinion, the complaints of the animal rights organisations. . . "The doctors went on in this vein, and I was unable to take my eyes off those boxes, sitting at our feet.
"Israel trapped hundreds of civilians inside a school as if in a box, including many children, and then crushed them with all the might of its bombs. What were the world's reactions? Almost nothing. We would have been better off as animals rather than Palestinians, we would have been more protected." At this point the doctor leans towards one of the boxes, and takes its lid off in front of me. Inside it are the amputated limbs, legs and arms, some from the knee down, others with the entire femur attached, amputated from the injured at the Al Fakhura United Nations school in Jabalia, which resulted in more than fifty casualties. . .
A little earlier I'd been involved in a conversation with Dr. Abdel, an ophthalmologist, regarding the rumours that the Israeli Army had been showering us with non-conventional weapons, forbidden by the Geneva Convention, such as cluster bombs and white phosphorous. The very same that the Tsahal Army used in the last Lebanese war, as well as the US air force in Falluja, still violating international norms. . . There's no doubt that using this weapon in Gaza, a strip of land concentrating the highest population rate in the world, is a crime all on its own. . . What he finds inexplicable is the total lack of eyeballs. . . Instead, we see Palestinian corpses coming into the hospitals without eyes at all, as if someone had removed them surgically before handing them over to the coroner. . . Full story: alor.org
Comment: Israeli Zionists are dehumanised pawns of the 'hidden hand' used to create implacable hatred essential to their plans for the "hot stage" of a brief World War III.

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine
February 7, 2007 – Ilan Pappe is an Israeli historian and senior lecturer at Haifa University. He's also Academic Director of the Research Institute for Peace at Givat Haviva and Chair of the Emil Touma Institute for Palestinian Studies. Pappe is an expert on Israel and Zionism and the Palestinians' Right of Return to their homeland, is considered "an honourable academic with integrity and conscience," and is a member of the Advisory Board of the Council for Palestinian Restitution and Repatriation (CPRR), an organization declaring that "every Palestinian has a legitimate, individual right to return to his or her original home and to absolute restitution of his or her property". . .
In his preface, Pappe writes about the "Red House" in Tel-Aviv that became headquarters for the Hagana, the dominant Zionist underground paramilitary militia during the British Mandate period in Palestine between 1920 and 1948 when the Jewish state came into being. He details how David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, met with leading Zionists and young Jewish military officers on March 10, 1948 to finalize plans to ethnically cleanse Palestine that unfolded in the months that followed including "large-scale (deadly serious) intimidation; laying siege to and bombarding villages and population centres; setting fire to homes, properties and goods; expulsion; demolition; and finally, planting mines among the rubble to prevent any of the expelled inhabitants from returning."
The final master plan was called Plan D (Dalet in Hebrew) following plans A, B, and C preceding it. It was to be a war without mercy complying with what Ben-Gurion said in June, 1938 to the Jewish Agency Executive and never wavering from later: "I am for compulsory transfer; I do not see anything immoral in it." Plan D became the way to do it. It included forcible expulsion of hundreds of thousands of unwanted Palestinian Arabs in urban and rural areas accompanied by an unknown number of others mass-slaughtered to get it done. The goal was simple and straightforward—to create an exclusive Jewish state without an Arab presence by any means including mass-murder.
Once begun, the whole ugly business took six months to complete. It expelled about 800,000 people, killed many others, and destroyed 531 villages and 11 urban neighborhoods in cities like Tel-Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem. The action was a clear case of ethnic cleansing that international law today calls a crime against humanity for which convicted Nazis at Nuremberg were hanged. So far Israelis have always remained immune from international law even though names of guilty leaders and those charged with implementing their orders are known as well as the crimes they committed.
They included cold-blooded mass-murder; destruction of homes, villages and crops; rapes; other atrocities; and massacres of defenseless people given no quarter including women and children. The crimes were suppressed and expunged from official accounts as Israeli historiography cooked up the myth that Palestinians left voluntarily fearing harm from invading Arab armies. It was a lie covering up Israeli crimes Palestinians call the Nakba—the catastrophe or disaster that's still a cold, harsh festering unresolved injustice.
. . . in 1949 were labor camps where thousands of Palestinian prisoners were held under military rule for forced labor for all tasks that could strengthen the economy or aid the military. Conditions in them were deplorable and included working in quarries carrying heavy stones, living on one potato in the morning and half a dried fish at noon. Anyone complaining was beaten severely, and others were singled out for summary execution if they were considered a threat. Life outside prison and labor camps wasn't much better. Red Cross representatives sent their Geneva headquarters reports of collective human rights abuses including finding piles of dead bodies. . . Their places of worship were profaned and schools vandalized. Those still with homes were robbed with impunity by looters in broad daylight. They took everything they wanted—furniture, clothing, anything useful for Jewish immigrants entering the new Jewish state. . . Palestinians, fed up with Fatah betrayal, democratically elected a Hamas government in January, 2006 foiling Israeli efforts to assure their complicit allies would again prevail. When they didn't, Israel denounced the results, never accepted Hamas as a peace partner, refused to negotiate with them in good faith, and acted ever since in bad faith to destroy Hamas and punish the Palestinian people for their "wrong" choice. That's how things always work under rules of imperial management practiced by the US and its Israeli partner complicit in their collective attempt to destroy a democratically elected government misportraying them as "terrorists" to get the West to go along and the public to believe it. . .
Now there's the further threat of one Palestinian faction facing off against the other. On one side is the besieged Hamas-led government already in tatters from months of harsh sanctions and daily Israeli assaults. On the other are corrupted Fatah forces loyal to PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas acting as a quisling proxy comprador enforcer for Israeli and US imperial interests for everything he stands to gain selling out his people for crumbs handed him and his cronies. They're being armed to the teeth to do it, and George Bush announced he's helping further by transferring $86 million to Abbas while starving Hamas and most Palestinians. . .

Comment: Moses spoke the truth (Genesis 3:15). So did Louis Marshall when he stated, "Zionism is but an incident of a far reaching plan, It is merely a convenient peg on which to hang a powerful weapon".
"Israel is engulfed once more with righteous fury that translates into destructive policies in the Gaza Strip. This appalling self-justification for the inhumanity and impunity is not just annoying, it is a subject worth dwelling on, if one wants to understand the international immunity for the massacre that rages on in Gaza. It is based first and foremost on sheer lies transmitted with a newspeak reminiscent of darker days in 1930s Europe. Every half an hour a news bulletin on the radio and television describes the victims of Gaza as terrorists and Israel's massive killings of them as an act of self-defence (Ilan Pappe, January 3, 2009).

The Mystery of Divine Government
Genesis 2:16-17, "The Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat: but of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die".
John 6:63, "It is the Spirit that makes alive, the flesh is of no avail; the Words I have spoken to you are Spirit [in a form you can receive by faith], and they are eternal Life." But the man forsook the obedience of faith, thus:
Galatians 3:22, "The Scripture has all men imprisoned under sin, so that the promise might be given to them that believe by faith in Jesus Christ".
The Divine government will be inspired government by agreement of faith, not by Law. "The Law is not made for an honest man but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers, for sodomites, kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine." The Divine government is for a justified people living in a just world. We will have a foretaste of Divine government when we exercise the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God. "And it shall come to pass that before they call I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear" (John 17:21-26; Isaiah 65:24).
Paul was the prophet to whom God revealed the New Testament; everything Paul enjoined is based solidly on the Law of Moses and the Old Testament prophets, magnified and written by revelation in fleshy tables of the heart. Paul challenged his critics, "If anyone ever had reason to hope that he could save himself, it would be I. If others could be saved by what they are, certainly I could: circumcised the eighth day, not a so-called Jew but a blood Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, persecuting the Church; as to righteousness under the Law, blameless. But all these things that I once thought eminently worthwhile I regard as excrement in order that I may put my trust and hope in Christ" (Philippians 3:4-8).
Anyone who is impersonating elements of the Law—such as sabbath day observance which denies Jesus' resurrection—is condemned by God (Galatians 4:1-11; Colossians 2:8 – 3:17; Hebrews 4:1-11). The Law was given to Israel alone as a curse for no man can keep the Law and those under the Law are under sentence of death (Leviticus 18:5; Nehemiah 8:29; Galatians 3:10-12). For under the Law no one is just before God, and "the soul that sins shall surely die" (Ezekiel 18:4). Justification is by grace through faith in Adam's kinsman Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
John 8:34-36, "Everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not continue in the house forever: but the Son remains forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed".
Israel is God's servant nation, but throughout the Gentile dispensation individual Israelites have had the opportunity of becoming His Sons. Galatians 4:5, "Jesus came to purchase the freedom of those who were imprisoned as slaves under the Law so that they may be placed and recognized as God's Sons".
John 1:11-13, "Jesus came to His own nation, and Israel received Him not. But to those who did receive him and believed on His Name, He granted authority to become children of God, who owe their birth neither to human blood, nor physical urge, but to God".
But why? Because all men are "born in sin and conceived in iniquity," so no man can be justified by the works of the Law (Hebrews 10:38-39).
Remember, the Law was given to Israel alone after they had committed the unforgivable sin of despising God's grace by rejecting the Holy Spirit at Kadesh-Barnea. Instantly the names of those adults were blotted from the Book of Life, and they are lost (Numbers 13-14; Psalm 95:7-11; John 6:49; Jude 5). In face of the sure penalty that befell those who spurned God's grace, whose posterity have suffered under this curse for nigh 3,500 years, will you also despise grace? "Now that you have found God, (or rather, now that God has found you), how can it be that you want to return to the weak and beggarly elements of useless religion, as slaves once more (Deuteronomy 15:12-17)? You observe days, and months, and festivals, and years. You make me fear I have laboured over you in vain" (Galatians 4:8-11).
You should realize the Law cannot be observed outside Israel. Paul called you "Foolish!" Asking, "Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was so graphically presented as crucified? Let me ask you one question: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of faith? Have you gone completely insane? If trying to obey the Law never gave you eternal Life in the first place, do you think that trying to obey it now will bring you to perfection without the Spirit" (Galatians 3:1-3)?
Isaiah 42 speaks of two servants of Jehovah, old Israel who failed Him, and new Israel, Jesus Messiah, through whom "He will magnify the Law and make it honourable"—not the Torah, whose end Messiah became when God "forgave Israel all of their trespasses, canceling the bond that stood against them with its legal demands, and took it out of the way when He nailed it to His cross" (Colossians 2:14; Matthew 5:17-48).
Jesus said it is given to us as His disciples to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of heaven. One such mystery is the sovereignty of Divine government that has imprisoned all men in unbelief and determined Israel's Spiritual blindness during the Gentile dispensation. Romans 11:25, "Lest you Gentiles become wise according to your own conceit and boastful, I do not want you brethren to be ignorant of the mystery of the hardening and Spiritual blindness that has come over Israel with respect to the Gospel, until the full number of elect Gentiles is baptized into the Kingdom of Heaven".
The nation of Israel was blinded by the carnal interpretations of their priests and rabbis, and although God deals with Israel as a nation, and all Israel will be born-again in one day, the elect nation is restricted to 144,000 blood Israelites physically descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob because God will be honouring the Covenant He has made with the Patriarchs, not the mixed multitude who have stolen the Name and heritage of Israel for political and material advantage.
Isaiah 59:1-19 explains that it is not that the Lord is impotent and unable to come to the aid of Israel, or that he has not heard their cries, but that sin has separated the nation from God. Their hands are the hands of murderers, their fingers drip with iniquity, their lips speak lies and there is no justice in their mouths so that their inward corruption reveals itself outwardly. He compares the Israelites to poisonous serpents who produce poisonous eggs, and to spiders that draw a poisonous web from their inward corruption. Thus the works of the Israelites are positively ruinous, and deadly.
The Law has not made an unrighteous people righteous, or just in His sight. They can only be justified by grace through faith in Jesus Messiah. The folly of the nation whose Talmudic hubris claims they are their own collective Messiah will soon be manifest when thousands of them perish like dogs paying sin's price, yet fail to resurrect in order to redeem their kindred (Kethuboth 111a, note 52; Psalm 16:10; Ezekiel 5:2, 12; Zechariah 13:8-9; Revelation 9:15, 18; 16:19).
Speaking in Romans 11:26-27 of the immediate future in this day when the iniquity of the Amorites—cursed since the First Nicea Council—is full once again, and Israel enters the Blessing of Abraham's promise long held by the Church, Paul quotes from Isaiah 59:20-21: "The Redeemer shall come from Zion to those in Jacob who turn from sin, says the Lord. As for Me, this is My Covenant with them, says the Lord; My Spirit that is upon you, and My Words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed, from henceforth and for ever, says the Lord," concerning Israel's new birth by the spoken Word of their two prophets.
Isaiah 27 also deals with Israel's redemption in the day of the Lord. It describes the present gathering of worldly powers for the brief "hot stage" of World War III, which will be Ezekiel 38 and 39, at the sounding of the Great or Seventh Trumpet (Isaiah 27:13; Matthew 24:31; I Corinthians 15:52; I Thessalonians 4:16). This will call genuine sons of Israel and Judah to gather to the Land of the Covenant for their redemption—mainly from the countries of Assyria and Egypt, signified by the "fleeing serpent" or swift-flowing Tigris, the "crooked serpent" of the meandering Euphrates, and "the stream of Egypt" or Wadi el-Arish (Isaiah 11:11-16; Ezekiel 34:4, 16). However there are a great many internal enemies within Israel, imposters Isaiah calls "thorns and thistles," which, like those in church circles that "bear thorns and briars" and are presently being gathered in cults and clans such as the ecumenical and charismatic movements, and World Council of Churches ready to be burned, have no part in God's Covenant with the Fathers (Matthew 13:40-42; Hebrews 6:8).
The naming of Jacob and Israel here, as in Ezekiel 37, signifies the reunion of all twelve Tribes (Psalm 17:7; Isaiah 6:10-13; 11:11; 19:23-24; 27:13; Jeremiah 3:12, 18; 16:15; 23:8; 31:8; Ezekiel 39:27; Micah 5:3; Zechariah 10:8; Matthew 24:31, etc). We are very close to the hour.
The greatest reproach to an Israelite is to be exiled from the land of the Covenant. Such excommunication is the most severe punishment Jehovah inflicts upon the people of Israel (Deuteronomy 4:25-40; 28:36 63-68; 29:28). With "His rough breath" of judgment He blew Israel and Judah into exile for chastisement and purification (Isaiah 27:8-9). He does not exterminate Israel as He exterminates His enemies.
This "purging of the iniquity of Jacob" will lead to the fulfillment of the sixfold purpose of Gabriel's visit to Daniel after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week and the birth of the nation in one day—all 144,000 of them (Daniel 9:24; Isaiah 66:8; Romans 11:26-27).
Romans 11:28-32, "As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes [that you may receive the grace of God in "the blessing of Abraham" or new birth – Genesis 28:3; Galatians 3:14]: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance," or irrevocable (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8). Clearly, if the Abrahamic Covenant with Abraham's natural seed is abrogated, it is of no effect to his Spiritual Seed, and Paul's preaching is without force. As Levi was accounted as paying tithes in Abraham (Hebrews 7:9), and the elect of God are accounted as having paid sin's price in Christ on Calvary, rising justified in Him (Romans 4:25) and seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (II Corinthians 5:13-18; Ephesians 2:6), the elect blood Israelites are partakers in the gifts of their fathers. Conversely, the non-Semitic self-styled Jews, who are unrelated to the fathers, have no part in the Covenant. All Jews who are in Adam's race and elect of God will be in the Church with all other Gentiles. Romans 9:6, "Not as though the Word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel." In other Words, only the elect of God can receive the Word of God.
"For as you Gentiles were disobedient to God in times past when the Word was revealed to you through creation (Romans 1:19-21) but have now received mercy because of Israel's disobedience: now Israel has been disobedient so that through the mercy you are presently enjoying they also may obtain mercy. [Ultimately through the apostasy of the Church]." I suspect many teachers would understand, "Now Israel has been disobedient so that through the mercy you are presently enjoying they also may obtain mercy . . . and apply Romans 11:11: "being provoked to jealousy of your faith through the mercy you have received," forgetting God deals with Israel as a nation, and only after "the full number of elect Gentiles has been baptized into Christ," confirmed by the manifestation of the Sixth Seal, Seventh Vial and Seventh Trump calling Daniel's Seventieth Week of tribulation, will Israel obtain mercy. Israel will be blind until some time beyond that point, and will be born under the revelation of her Seven Trumpet mysteries, not by Brother Branham's Message of the Seven Seals. "For God has shut up or imprisoned all men under disobedience, that He might have mercy upon all."
Romans 5:12, "Through Adam's disobedience [in taking Eve back to himself (Leviticus 21:9) thereby forfeiting his dominion to Satan] sin entered the world, and death through sin; and so death passed on to all men, because all have sinned." As all are "born in sin and conceived in iniquity," all men are shut up together under disobedience, for God is no respecter of persons in Adam's race, whether they be Israelites or Gentiles. And although God shows His mercy to "whomsoever will" in Adam's race, at least sufficient for salvation, His mercy is generally not accepted because it requires men to bring the five senses of the body—sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch; and the five senses of their mortal spirit—conscience, memory, affection, imagination and reasoning, under submission to the revealed Word of the hour, and by yielding to nature under the dominion of Satan rather than disciplining their senses to a soul united with the Word, men exclude themselves from the Kingdom, and even salvation. God is not an arbitrary judge and has placed each of Adam's descendants on the basis of free moral agency, to do or to refuse. Being omniscient He knew by foreknowledge before there was a world how each of us would choose and thereby determine our own destiny, and so each of us is predestinated (I Peter 1:2).
Peter, Paul, Jude and Brother Branham called those who have rejected the present Truth, souls imprisoned now. Like Esau, they are spiritually dead while physically alive, having crossed from mercy to judgment with no possibility of repentance because their names are blotted from the Book of Life. There are three groups of people on this earth. First are those who are elect according of God's foreknowledge. Their lives are written epistles of the Word for their day, known and read by all men, which is the Token of the Life of Christ on display. Their names were written in the Lamb's Book of Life, which is the genealogy of Jesus Christ for they are born of the spoken Word. As Attributes of the Logos they are eternal Life and can never be removed. These are the saints of the Old Testament, the New Testament Church, and 144,000 Israelite martyrs of the tribulation. These have genuine "eternal security," being sealed to the day of their physical redemption and glorification by the baptism with the Holy Ghost which is the new birth.
Secondly, various classes of the "saved" whose names remain in the Book of Life, which is the genealogy of Adam, will be granted into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment by Jesus Christ and the New Testament saints (I Corinthians 6:2). These include the foolish virgin, who are justified and sanctified, but not born-again. It is possible for one to be justified and not sanctified, sanctified without being justified, and both justified and sanctified and ultimately lost. Being foolish these virgin are not born-again either because they were slothful, and having neglected to "search the Scriptures daily, proving all things personally, and holding fast that which is good" received a second-hand religion from Brother Anthony or their pastor. Or perhaps their pastor is a good man who believes the "letter" of the Prophet's Message without a revelation of what it means, and the "foolish" virgin, "ever learning—to say what the tapes say—are never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth" (II Timothy 3:7).
Others of Adam's race who will be among the "saved" include live-born children who die before the age of accountability. Still-born or aborted children were never on the Book of Life because in order to be a human one must possess a body, mortal spirit and a soul, and they were never more than a body. Israelites martyred for their testimony of Mosaic faith under the Fifth Seal from Pentecost to the close of the Gentile dispensation will be granted into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment although they did not believe Jesus was the Messiah (Revelation 6:9-11). Even heathens whose moral principles cause them to prefer martyrdom to accepting the mark of the Beast in their forehead, which is Rome's trinitarian dogma, or the mark in the hand, which signifies doing the bidding of Roman and her (once) Protestant or US image. Those who have been good and kind to the Bride will also be among the "saved" (Revelation 13:15-18; Matthew 25:31-46).
Thirdly are those of Adam's race whose names have been removed from the Book of Life. These people are lost together with Cain's descendants, whose names have never been in the Book of Life since they are not in Adam's race. These are born lost since Jesus Messiah is the last Adam, He is not the last Cain.
Galatians 3:15-24, "Speaking in terms of human relationships, no one annuls a person's last will, or adds to it once it has been ratified. Now the promises were made to Abraham and his Seed singular. It does not say, And to seeds, plural; but refers to one, And to your Seed, which is Christ. This is the point: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, cannot invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to annul the promise. If the inheritance is by the Law, then it is no longer by promise: but God has given it to Abraham through a promise."
"Why then was the Law given? It was added because of transgressions, [to show sins in their true light], until the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and the Law was ordained through angels by means of a mediator. Now a mediator does not appertain to one party acting alone, and concerning the unconditional promise, God is one party who stood and acted alone and used no mediator".
So in delivering the curse of the Law, which is conditional, Moses was a mediator between two parties—God and Israel, but the promise was without a mediator. And in this present holy convocation of the fiftieth day of the antitype of Israel's Pentecostal feast, Christ's Bride is without a Mediator and must stand alone on her faith in the promise, and speak the Word in the manifestation of the Sons of God, to put on grace for translation faith.
"Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not: for if a law had been given which could make alive, righteousness would proceed from it with the same effect as the promise, and then righteousness would be by the Law. But the Scriptures insist we are all sin's prisoners, and the power to give life was denied the Law so that the promise of escape is given only to those who believe by faith in Jesus Christ."
The Law is itself righteous, but its function is to expose sin and condemn the guilty to imprisonment unto death with no power of reprieve. The Law can sanctify those who abide in it, but this is by merit of works and has no power to make men just, because justification is a free gift of God by grace through faith alone (Romans 5). Therefore those without faith remain sinners, shut up under the dominion of sin unto death which is the curse brought upon all men who are without Christ, and those trying to obtain righteousness by observing the works of the Law are doing despite to faith.
"But before faith came, we were confined under the Law, kept under constraint until the faith should be revealed, so that the Law served as our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, in order that we might be justified by faith." The Law was given only until such time as the Seed should come to whom it was promised. And the objective of "shutting up" all men under sin in consequence of which the Law could not make alive was so that the promise should be given by faith to this Seed as the firstfruit of promise since the promise was only to Jesus Christ and to others through Him as their kinsman Redeemer (I Corinthians 15:20, 23; Colossians 1:18; Galatians 3:16; Hebrews 2:10). So the inheritance is now attainable for sinful men by grace, but only through justification by faith in Jesus Christ.
God is sovereign. His Divine government is administered by grace through faith to Sons who know the mind of the Lord so "that before we call, He will answer; and while we are yet speaking, He will hear". nl563.htm
