Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, "If you continue in My Word, you are My disciples indeed; and you will know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free" (John 8:31-32), for "Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18). God is building His Church on a clear revelation of the mind of Christ (I Corinthians 2:16), Satan is building his kingdom by conditioning men's minds to believe the BIG LIES of his children. As the natural types the Spiritual it is essential we understand and discern Truth from fable in church and state history, for if we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it.
Be patient therefore, "study to show yourself approved of God by rightly dividing the Word of Truth" (II Timothy 2:15). Educate yourself by following the links and checking the references in the news and our main article, which in this issue commences a review of "The Revelation of the Seven Seals" delivered through God's Prophet William Branham in 1963.

The City
The City of London's Council on Foreign Relations has released a four minute video to manipulate your mind, deceive your heart, and encourage you to love your enemy. Full story: youtube.com
Comment: The world is ruled by the Vatican and the 'City of London' whose power is the wolf of Babylonian paganism dressed as Christianity, and the Cabala of Babylonian fractional reserve banking. All hot air with no substance, the BIG LIE leads us from cradle to grave. Not many years hence the Great Whore will end the coalition and the 'City,' which rules Judaeo-Communist Russia, will bomb Vatican City State and the United States from the face of the globe.
Only the Truth can free your mind from the tentacles of Satan's leviathan. If you are convinced bin Laden did 9/11, open your mind, remembering . . . 'the City' lied about Pearl Harbour, it lied about the Titanic and the Lusitania, the Moon Landing and WACO; it lied about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, and one US President said, "I did NOT have an affair with that woman"? Hands up those who still believe Timothy McVeigh blew up a Murrah building when all Government employees were told to stay home that day? What about 'peak oil,' global warming, bird, or is it swine flu?
Citing new "evidence" the White House is fingering the Taliban (which it created, trained, funded and armed) for the failed car bomb in Times Square, although authorities earlier declared it could not have exploded, and that the "bomber" had acted alone. But World War III was planned in the nineteenth century to bring political Zionists (spending the wealth and spilling the blood of the (once) Christian colonies of 'the City') into controlled conflict with political Islam to eliminate our recalcitrance to Lucifer's totalitarian one world government.
Now here is an historic BIG LIE. This historical Truth will cleanse and set your mind FREE from bondage:
What is the Historical Truth about WWII?
March 20, 2010 — "I am writing in regard to Mr. Carl Grassl's letter published in issue number 5, dated January 30, 2010 on page 3. I find myself unable to understand his remarks, in which he stated that he found it hard to swallow that Britain and France turned the actions of Adolf Hitler in Poland into a world war. He based his reasoning on the statement, and I quote: "All Hitler had to do was not invade Poland. No one held a gun to his head."
I find that a factually incorrect statement. I say this, because the historical record is not in agreement with what he has to say on the subject. It may agree with the Allied Version of the history of the period. But their version, and the true historical record of that time are quite different. I shall enumerate my reasons, starting with the German-Polish problem.
In 1934 the leader of Poland's government was Field Marshal Jozef Klemens Pilsudski and at that time Adolf Hitler was the Reichskanzleer (German Chancellor); their relationship was quite congenial—so much so, that they signed a German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact on January 26, 1934. The congenial relationship changed for the worse, when the old Marshal of Poland died on May 23, 1935. The man who succeeded Pilsudski as Marshal of Poland in 1936 was Edward Ryzd Smigly, and he did not share the desire to maintain good relations with Germany. In fact in 1930 he made the statement: "I am going to break out the German arch-enemy's fangs for good."
As early as October 24, 1938, the Polish Ambassador in Berlin was offered suggestions regarding a solution to some of the existing points of contention between Poland and Germany. It stated there should be a return of the purely German Free State of Danzig from the Polish Customs Union, into which it had been forced to belong on April 1, 1922.
In addition to that, the plebiscite was to be given to West Prussia, which was denied her in 1920. If the results favored Poland, a rail and a road dam between Burton in Pomerania and East Prussia and Dirschau in the Free State of Danzig was to be built which would link East Prussia with the German Reich. If the vote favored Germany, a similar dam was to be built from the Polish Province of Posen. The port of Gdingen (later Gdansk) would remain Poland's at any rate. Also included in the proposal was the desire to extend the German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact of 1934 to a duration of 25 years. Hitler's proposals were refused.
The Reich Chancellor made four attempts to solve the problems that hindered good relations between Germany and Poland—with no success.
One thing that had not been given up by Germany was the hope for a solution to the problem of Danzig and the Polish Corridor. German policy adhered closely to the opinions of Lord Lothian who said in an address in 1927 at Chatham House: "Now, if the principle of self-determination were applied on behalf of Germany, in the way that it was applied against them, it would mean the re-entry of Austria into Germany, the union of Sudentenland, Danzig, and probably Memel with Germany and certain adjustments with Poland in Silesia and in the Corridor" (cited by Fish in his book The Other Side of the Coin—p. 108).
Former Reichsminister Gustav Streseman, who had won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1926, had tried to regain Danzig, and revise the border in Upper Silesia. Former Chancellor Heinrich Bruning stated: "A German Government that renounced all claim to the Corridor could not survive more than 24 hours." One has to examine the history of the relationship between Germany and Poland to really understand the reason for the friction between the two nations. The Poles stated on October 20, 1930:
"In a war with Germany, no prisoners will be taken and there will be no room for humane feelings or cultural restraint. The German-Polish War will make the world tremble. We must awaken in our soldiers a super-human disregard for their own safety and a spirit of merciless revenge and cruelty."
On March 26, 1939, a provocative rejection of the German suggestions was forwarded after a partial mobilization of the Polish Army (for those who do not fully understand the mobilization of troops: According to the Geneva Convention, such action is equivalent to a declaration of war).
On March 31, 1939 there was a British-French Guarantee given to Poland which deliberately worked against a peaceful solution of the German-Polish problem. This immediately escalated Poland's rabid incitement against Germany. Polish newspapers demanded the occupation of Danzig, all of east Prussia, in fact they advocated that Poland should push its border all the way to the Oder River.
On May, 1939, Polish Constitution Day, according to J.A. Kofler in his book "Die Falsche Rolle mit Deutschland" (the counterfeit role with Germany), the most intimidating statement made was: "The German demand for an artery to East Prussia and Danzig's return to Germany must be answered with war against Germany. The ridiculous German Army, consisting of the undernourished generation of the Treaty of Versailles, with its silly dummy tanks would be thoroughly trounced in Berlin."
In the summer of 1939, Polish Marshal Edward Rydz Smigly said: "Poland wants war with Germany, and Germany will not be able to avoid it, even if it should wish to do."
Poland refused an invitation to diplomatic talks in Berlin, for which Adolf Hitler had requested England and France to be mediators. Immediately, after his request Britain ratified a British-Polish Mutual assistance Pact on August 25, 1939. On that same day, Hitler received the French Ambassador Coulondre and stated: "Polish provocation has placed the Reich in a position that could not be allowed to continue."
Referring to the French-Polish alliance, the Fuehrer added that he would not attack France, having renounced all Territorial claims against that country, but if France went to war for Poland, he would see it through to the finish; (Encyclopedia Americana—1953-Volume 29, p. 556g "World War II").
On August 30, 1939, Hitler drew up a document, which outlined a list of 16 points, which were German suggestions for preventing war, and resolving the German-Polish problem. The document was sent to London, Rome and Moscow, but Warsaw refused even to send an authorized representative to accept it. On the contrary, on that same day Poland ordered total mobilization, which I stated before, under the Protocols of the League of Nations is equal to a declaration of war. In addition to that, on that same day the German Consul Schillinger was murdered in Crackow, Poland.
Speaking of maintaining their honor, in the case of England and France, as Mr. Grassil stated, concerning Poland, it is well to remember that on September 17, 1939, when the Soviet Army invaded the Eastern part of Poland, not one word was spoken by either of the so-called honorable nations against the actions of the Red Army. In the Finnish Mannerheim Archives was a plan of encirclement by the Allies, with a secret dossier, which stated the first task to be accomplished, the occupation of Norway and Denmark, was planned for May 14-15, 1940.
Since Finland was to be in Soviet hands by then, followed up by an advance of the British and French armies though Holland and Belgium to attack the Rhine front timed to coincide with the Soviet attack from the east. The fact that the Soviet Union had been condemned as an aggressor for its attach on Finland, and expelled from the League of Nations, did not bother Mr. Winston Spencer Churchill in the least (Encyclopedia Americana 1953 Vol. 11, p. 2,241 "Finland").
Regarding the dossier mentioned above, Britain under Churchill built up the British Expeditionary Force under the pretense of aiding Finland, but the true goal was to occupy Norway and Denmark. (This information was discovered during the German occupation of Paris). The short term goal in reality was to stop Swedish deliveries of iron-ore needed by Germany's steel industry, as well as creating a northern base necessary for a military attack on Germany.
According to Birger Dahlerus, Swedish industrialist and author, on page 110 of his book, "The Last attempt" (Der Letzte Versuch): "On August 31, at 11:00 a.m. when I and the British Consul Forbes visited the Polish ambassador Legation Lipski in Berlin in order to submit Hitler's 16 Points to him, he declared he was convinced in the event of war, unrest would break out in Germany, and the numerically stronger Polish troops would march victorious against Berlin."
British Colonel John C. Scott who gave an election speech on August 14, 1947 revealed the real underlying issues of the World War II. Scott claimed that at the conclusion of military operations in Poland a war by telegram was waged between the Allies and the German Foreign Office. He was one of the transmitters in those negotiations.
The Allies gave the Reich two conditions, and their acceptance would have brought about an immediate cessation of hostilities, and a free rein for Germany in Poland. Those conditions were, Germany must return to the Gold Standard and the Leage of Freemasonry must be readmitted to Germany. This was not published until November 6, 1947 in "Tomorrow", which closed its article by stating "Some 55 million people had to die to make the Gold Standard in Germany permissible."
The man most responsible for wanting the destruction of Germany was Winston Spencer Churchill. To reinforce that statement, I quote some of his own words: "Germany is too strong. We must destroy her." These words were spoken in November 1936. Then again he made the statement: "The war was not just a matter of elimination of fascism in Germany, but rather obtaining German sales markets," as stated in March 1946.
In another book written by British general J.F.C. Fuller in 1964 the title of which is "The Art of War", Fuller stated: "Hitler's political ideas were not what thrust us into the war. The cause of the war was his successful attempt to rebuild a new economy. The roots (of old) were envy and fear."
Going back to that period of time when the Soviets invaded Finland, the Finns lost territory, but remained free, because of the resolute stand made by Marshal Mannerheim for 100 days with his brave Finnish Army, who, hopelessly outnumbered, finally had to sue for peace.
When I spoke of Britain's false actions by trying to use the ruse that they were an Expeditionary Force to help Finland, when they sought to invade Norway and Denmark, the British had already violated Norway's neutrality by mining Norwegian waters. The Royal Navy on the night of April 8/9, 1940, was underway to invade Norway under the code name of "operation Wilfred", but the German Navy got the drop on the British by ten hours.
Regarding Mr. Grassl's remarks about the Sitzkrieg: It wasn't Hitler who heated up the fighting. Let me explain what I mean. While the German Army was busy in Poland on September 7, 1939, the French Army crossed the German border in to Saarbrücken in what was designated "Operation Saar" and met little or no opposition from the German Army. By all means the invasion should have been successful, because:
1) The French possessed some of the best armour in the world, but their men were not properly trained in its use.
2) There was no German armour west of the Rhine River, and the Germans had no anti-tank weapons capable of destroying French armour.
Furthermore, the Germans were short of machine-guns, small arms of all types, artillery and tanks, because Hitler had massed his total strength against Poland. By September 17, five days after the French crossing had really reached the peak of their offensive, with the invasion of eastern Poland by Soviet troops, there was a feeling by the French that this European conflict might become a world war.
As a result of this, the French withdrew their troops to the Maginot Line on September 21, 1939, and by September 30th, French troops were ordered to retreat to the homeland (U.S. Military Magazine World War II, Sept. 1999, pp. 42-48 Titled "Operation Saar—A Lost Opportunity" by Kevin R.Austria; and "Invasion of Poland" pp. 26-34-76 by David T. Zabecki).
Winston Spencer Churchill who at the time was head of the British Admiralty suggested mining the Rhine River, to which the French strongly protested, stating the Germans would retaliate and shell the Seine River Bridges. In Britain in the House of Commons, it was suggested to bomb the Black Forest and cause uncontrollable fires in Germany. However, British Secretary of State for Air, Sir Arthur Kingsley Wood refused to do so, on the grounds such attacks would destroy private property. French Premier Eduard Daladier also requested that the British refrain from bombing Germany.
It could at that time be called a "Gentlemen's War", as the Germans were doing only what was operationally necessary. This static warfare would change regarding the bombing of Germany when Winston Spencer Churchill became Prime Minister on May 10, 1940, and immediately ordered the bombings of the German populations of Aachen (May 12), Duesseldorf (May 13), Eschweiler (May 15), Hamburg (May 16 and June 24)—all in 1940.
It was at this time that Adolf Hitler issued a clear warning to the British against continuing to bomb German cities. He would retaliate with bombings of English cities as reprisal. British military historian Liddell Hart said of Hitler's warning:
"The Germans were justified in calling these attacks reprisals, especially since they had announced prior to our sixth attack on Berlin, that they would resort to such measures, if we did not stop our night raids on Berlin. England continued her bombing war against German cities and towns."
Regarding Mr. Grassl's opinion of the war in the west, I would like to quote a statement made by another English gentleman—Attorney-General Sir Hartley Shawcross who said on March 16, 1984: "I believe now that Hitler and the German people did not want war. But we declared war on Germany intent on destroying it, in accordance with our principle of balance of power and we were encouraged by the 'Americans around Roosevelt (Zionists).' We ignored Hitler's pleadings not to enter the war. Now we are forced to realize that Hitler was right.
I close this letter by demonstrating the manner of thought Winston Churchill had regarding how the war would be conducted against the German Nation. Reflecting back on World War I (1914-1918), he wrote a book in 1932. The title of the book was "Thoughts and Adventures" and he stated: "Everything that happened in the four years of World War I was only a prelude to what the fifth year would have brought. The war of 1919 we never fought, but the ideas live on. Death stands at the ready, it only waits the word. Next time perhaps, it may be a matter of killing women and children, or the entire population."
I rest my case, as an attorney would say with the firm conviction that: "Only the Truth can set Man free."

Comment: "Someone" was shedding the blood of my father and yours on the basis of this BIG LIE of the City of London. Here is the current BIG LIE truthout.org:
Top Media Lies about Iran
May 4, 2010 — Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, who has the final word in Iran on such issues, has denounced nuclear weapons as un- Islamic and stated unequivocally that Islam forbids the "production and stockpiling of nuclear weapons." The Iranian fatwa against nuclear weapons is a registered document with the United Nations. Iran has been the only country to lobby for a nuclear-free Middle East. In contrast, Israel has yet to agree to a single IAEA inspection, and its nuclear weapons plant in Dimona is an open secret used to intimidate the Palestinians and neighboring countries. . .
American-style democracy has taken over the Middle East; just ask the Iraqis and Afghans how happy they are post-American liberation of their countries. Operation Iraqi Freedom has only cost 1.3 million Iraqi lives to date. In the last Iranian elections, an overwhelming 85 percent of voters turned out to pick the next president, and practically every pre-election poll showed President Ahmadinejad with a significant lead over his opponents. However, the West continues to claim Iran is not a democratic country despite it being the only Middle Eastern country with transparent elections and a fully functional parliament. Western hypocrisy of this magnitude must be respected, and the West has yet to call its allies (Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia) for throwing political opponents in jail and never holding elections.
By all instances, Iran is a democratic society, but to the United States and its allies, the very existence of a democracy in Iran is a threat. They removed this threat in 1953 when they overthrew the democratically-elected government and put in the totalitarian Shah. Speaking of democracy and sovereignty, the US would know a thing or two about those terms, considering for the past 30 years we have tried to overthrow the Iranian government and laid siege upon siege on the Iranian people. More recently, Congress voted to allocate 120 million dollars for anti-regime media broadcasts into Iran. It doesn't end there. The US also generously donated 60-75 million dollars to fund and support violent underground extremist groups like Mujahiden-Khalq (MKO), one of the largest terrorist organizations in Iran. Democracy in the Middle East is synonymous with murderous and catastrophic regime change. . . Full story: politicaltheatrics.net
Comment: "Who will ever suspect then that all these peoples were stage-managed by us according to a political plan which no one has so much as guessed at in the course of many centuries"?—Protocol 13:6.

It was the Mossad again 100%
The terrorist attacks on Mumbai were done on the specific date of November 26th is because Anti-Terror Squad Chief Hemant Karkare planned to reveal to the world press the next day, that the Mossad was involved in funding and training militant fanatic Hindu terrorist group, who bombed Malegaon, India a few months ago, attacks that the Indian government wanted to blame on Muslims. Karkare saw the facts and was not fast to blame the Muslims; he ordered an investigation and found that a Hindu terrorist group did the bombing. Upon interrogation the Hindus admitted to Karkare and his agents that the Israeli Mossad hired and trained them to do the bombings. The Hindus pointed out two Israeli Mossad agents in Mumbai, who were arrested, interrogated, and gave confessions. Karkare had the proof, witnesses, and confessions to blame Mossad, who planned, in arrogance, to kill Karkare one day before the expose, while at the same, time executing an Indian 9/11, "killing two birds with one stone." Karkare was shot in the back of the head while in bullet proof vest and helmet in his jeep. In other locations, five of Karkare's aides on the expose were also shot to death in different areas, quelling the Mossad expose from ever coming out.
An Indian cop ran into the Chabad Lubavitch center during the attacks and was shocked to see a bunch of "white men" holding weapons: the Mossad.
The shootings started in the Chabad Lubavitch center, where many boxes of ammunition were found.
The terrorists' blood showed evidence that they had taken LSD, Cocaine and alcohol. This is not the behavior of a Muslim. two of the terrorists had beers before they opened fire in a restaurant. These men were mercenaries who were hired by Mossad. These mercenaries are desperate men who work for the sake of their families, who need the money to survive the poverty.
The firefighters were told not to put out the fires, allowing the evidence to burn.
The satellite phones found on the terrorists showed that their last call was to a Dan Samuel in New Jersey, a Mossad agent. . . Full story: total_truth_sciences

The Trilateral Commission
After his visit to China in 1973, David Rockefeller stated:
"The social experiment of China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history" (New York Times, "From a China Traveler," August 10, 1973). Among the social experiments was the creation of a commune system in which "the family unit is broken up. . . The children are taken away from the parents and placed in government-run nurseries. . . parents may see their children once a week and when they see them they cannot show affection toward the children. The idea is to have the children and the family sever their affection and direct it toward the state. Names are taken away from the children and they are given numbers. There is no individual identity. . . The commune system is destroying morality in Red China: There is no morality because the love of the family is taken away. There is no honesty and respect among men or between men. There is no human dignity: they are all like animals. There is no guilt associated with murder of individuals for the improvement of the state" (Sworn statement before the House Un-American Activities Committee by the Reverend Shik-Ping Wang, East Asia Director of the Baptist Evangelization Society International, in Myron C. Fagan, The Truth about "National Council of Churches," CPA Book Publishers, Boring, Oregon, p. 10).
This is the Communist system that Rockefeller praises, a system in which 64 million persons were killed as result of Mao's social experiment. The number is based on the US Senate Internal Security Subcommittee's report.

Bilderberg Found!
The Bilderberg group will conduct its annual meeting June 3-6 in Sitges, Spain (a small, exclusive resort town 20 miles from Barcelona) behind a wall of armed guards who will seal off the resort in a futile attempt to keep the event secret.
Bilderberg's meeting will follow that of its brother group, the Trilateral Commission, which will gather at the Four Seasons Resort in Dublin, Ireland May 6-10. Leaders of Bilderberg also attend the Trilateralist's meeting to map their common agenda. About 300 attend Trilateral Commission meetings, which are conducted behind sealed-off, guarded floors of their hotel. About 100 will attend Bilderberg, which seals off the entire resort behind platoons of uniformed police and private security.
Bilderberg hopes to keep the global recession going for at least a year, according to an international financial consultant who deals personally with many of them. This is because, among several reasons, Bilderberg still hopes to create a global "treasury department" under the United Nations. Bilderberg first undertook this mission at its meeting last spring in Greece, but the effort was blocked by nationalists in Europe and the United States. . . major newspapers and network broadcasters maintain a complete blackout in the United States. That's because their executives have attended these meetings on lifetime promises of secrecy. Full story: americanfreepress.net

God Hiding Himself in Simplicity – Part I
The Lord showed Nebuchadnezzar a dream and revealed the interpretation through His prophet Daniel. In his dream the king saw a great image that represented the pagan domination of apostate Israel called "the times of the Gentiles" (Luke 21:24). They began when God's servant conquered Judea, transported Judeans to lifetime captivity in Babylon, destroyed Jerusalem, and razed His Temple. Four successive Gentile world powers: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome, would hold dominion over Jerusalem until the consummation (Daniel 9:27); then Jesus Messiah will destroy his enemies, cleanse the Earth with fire, and return with the glorified saints of all Ages for a thousand years of peace, treading the atomic ashes of the wicked underfoot (Malachi 4:1-3). As David's greater Son He will rule a restored, worldwide kingdom of Israel signified as a "stone cut out of the mountain without hands"—not a Semitic kingdom, but an election out of every tribe of Adam's race—Spiritual Israelites who have overcome sin by faith in the promises of God's unchanging Word (Daniel 2; Micah 4:8; Acts 1:6).
As a sign of their entry into loyal service, the chief of the eunuchs changed the names of God's four Judahite heroes to names associated with Babylonian deities (Daniel 1:6-7). Daniel (meaning God is my Judge) was changed to Belteshazzar (meaning Bel's prince), Hannaniah (meaning Beloved by the Lord) was changed to Shadrach (meaning Illumined by Sun-god), Mishael (meaning Who is as God) was changed to Meshach (meaning Who is like Venus), and Azariah (meaning The Lord is my Help) was changed to Abed-Nego (meaning Servant of Nego). The king named Daniel, Belteshazzar "according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods" (Daniel 4:8-9, 18) because he saw in him the superior power and understanding of Bel (Baal).
In appreciation of Daniel's portentous interpretation, Nebuchadnezzar lavishly rewarded him with many gifts and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief of the governors over all of his wise men. He made a golden image of Daniel (Daniel 4:8) sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and gathered the royalty, chief officers and administrators of the people of the various tribes and nations of his empire to attend a service of dedication before the image and commanded them on pain of death to fall down and worship the image of that holy man upon a certain fanfare. The homage which the king required to be rendered was regarded as a test of loyalty to himself, especially in the case of those who belonged to the subjugated nations, as his victory over them was considered a triumph of his gods over their gods. Opposition to the gods of a kingdom was therefore equivalent to hostility against the realm. In this we see a type of Rome and her (once) Protestant daughter churches during the tribulation forcing worship to Satan incarnate in the beast and its image (Daniel 7; Revelation 13). The Holy Spirit has been deposed for popes, bishops, presidents, and counselors, and the Saviour set aside for a works program, church-joining, or conformity to a church system. This is the apostasy! This is the falling away! This is the open door to antichrist, for if One came in His Father's Name and was rejected, "that man of sin, that son of perdition" will come in his own name and be received (John 5:43; II Thessalonians 2:3).
The end of the Babylonian empire was signified by the hand of God writing on the palace wall in unknown tongues during a great feast hosted by Nebuchadnezzar's grandson, king Belshazzar. Daniel interpreted the writing, "God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it. You are weighed in the balances, and found wanting. Your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. In that night Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans was slain" (Daniel 5).
As the first Gentile world empire ended following a Message in unknown tongues written on a wall by the hand of God, the end of the Gentile dispensation was indicated by the hand of God writing on a wall. Two years before the revelation of the Seven Seals Brother Branham was teaching the Seven Church Ages from this diagram on the blackboard, when the Holy Spirit confirmed his inspiration by drawing the same diagram on the Tabernacle wall during the service. Then on December 30, 1963, the Lord displayed the same revelation in the heavens.
Brother Branham said, "Matthew 24 mentions signs in the heavens concerning this last day just before Jesus comes. I wonder if you noticed such a sign recently fulfilled as to portray the very truth we have been discussing. That truth is that Jesus has been steadily pushed aside until in the last age He is pushed outside the church. Recall that in the first age it was almost a full orbed church of truth. Yet there was a little error called the deeds of the Nicolaitanes that kept the circle from being full. Then in the next age more darkness crept in until the ball of light glowed less, and darkness covered more of the circle. In the third age it was eclipsed still more, and in the fourth age, which was the Dark Ages, the light had all but gone." Now think on this. The church shines in the reflected light of Christ. He is the SUN. The church is the MOON. Thus this orb of light is the Moon. It had decreased from almost a full moon in the first age, to a sliver in the fourth age. But in the fifth age it began to grow. In the sixth it took a great step of growth forward. In part of the seventh age it was still growing, when suddenly it stopped short, and waned to almost a nothingness, so that instead of light it was the blackness of apostasy, and at the end of the age it had ceased to shine for darkness had taken over. Christ was now outside the church.
Here is the sign in the sky. The last eclipse of the Moon was a total eclipse. It waned to a total darkness in seven stages. In the seventh stage the total darkness came [on December 30, 1963] as the Pope of Rome (Paul the Sixth) went to Palestine to make a holy tour of Jerusalem [from January 4-6, 1964, where he met Ecumenical Patriarch Athenogoras I, showing the (once) Protestant daughters are returning, contrary to Amos 3:3, to their harlot mother church for the second crucifixion of the Son of God (Hebrews 6:6)]. He was the first pope ever to go to Jerusalem. [So much for Peter's fabled papacy]. The pope is named Paul the Sixth. Paul was the first messenger and this man goes by that name. Notice it is the sixth, or the number of man. This is more than a coincidence. And when he went to Jerusalem, the Moon or the church went into total darkness. This is it. This is the end. This generation will not pass away until all is fulfilled" (William Branham, An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 257:1 – 339).
Three is a witness. Brother Branham drew the Scriptural sign of the times on the blackboard; the Lord confirmed his inspiration by reproducing it on the church wall, and portrayed in the heavens. The sign was to attract the attention of the people for the Voice of a Message. The Voice of the Sign was the Prophet's 'third pull,' the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6, which is the "shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16 revealing the Seven Seals to call the virgin out of Babylon to be filled with the Spirit, and was confirmed by the heavenly Voice of Revelation 18:4.
In Matthew 24:29, Jesus said the physical manifestation of these cosmic signs of the Sun, Moon and Stars will occur "immediately after the tribulation" to the elect Church which commenced with the sighting of Rome's legions on the Mount of Olives (Matthew 24:3, 15-22) and will continue until the revelation of "Light in the evening time" has drawn Christ's end-time eagles to maturity in the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation (Matthew 24:15-29; Zechariah 14:7; Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 16:46-57). Then the Seventh Trump will call the first resurrection, an earthquake will sink Los Angeles, and the Lord will anoint two Hebrew prophets to reveal the mystery of Israel's feast of Trumpets and reconfirm the New Testament (Daniel 9:24, 27; Joel 2 - 3).
During the Church Ages Christ was a Mediator for the ignorance of the saints because the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals, and with only PART-Word the rest was guesswork (I Corinthians 13:10). The apostolic faith in the heart of the saints was lost through Jewish and Catholic pogroms or polluted with "Jewish fables" and pagan dogma for 2,000 years. It is understandable therefore that the focus of ministry throughout the Church Ages was on Justification and the necessity for Christ's Mediation to declare the elect righteous. Christ received the faith of those who became written epistles of the Word for their day, placed their mistakes in the sea of God's forgetfulness, and baptized them into their position in the Body formed by Word for their day.
Speaking to the Church Age saints who are complete and seated in their part of the Word in Revelation chapter three, Ephesians 4:30 says, "grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed until the day of your redemption," when the Redeemer claimed the Title Deed to His redeemed possession in chapter five, opened the Seals in chapter six, and returned in chapter ten to unfold this sevenfold plan to His end-time Bride who have no Mediator, to embrace her in the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and victory over death and the grave (Revelation 1:18). The focus of ministry in this day of the fullness of the Word is no longer on Justification, but Redemption revealed. How He redeemed the saints in each Age, who they are, how His is redeeming this world, the identity of the different groups of "the saved," the millennium, restored heavens and earth, and many important doctrines.
So long as Abraham's Seed was in Mary's womb, the potentials were there, yet she was the husk or carrier, she was not the Word. When the Seed was delivered, It said, "I come to do the will of Him that sent Me. I and My Father are One. If I do not His works, believe Me not. . . Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works' sake. Which of you can condemn Me of unbelief? I have done what the Bible said I would do"!
Like Mary, the PART-Word Church was the husk or carrier of the Seed, but when that which is perfect or complete was delivered in Revelation chapter ten, PART- Word and Christ's Mediation were done away (I Corinthians 13:10); the full Word was born into manifestation again and its fullness vindicated by the Spirit of God doing the same things behind the veil of Brother Branham as when It was veiled in the flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ who said, "As it was in the days of Lot, so will it be when the Son of man is revealed" (Hebrews 13:8; Luke 17:30). Like the wheat plant, the dried husk of the now apostate carrier of the Seed, the PART-Word church, has rejected Christ's end-time Wheat Seed (Revelation 3:17-20) and the Bride is resting in this holy convocation, ripening under preeminence to the SON-Light of the fullness of the Word for the manifestation of the Sons of God when she will manifest the 'third pull'.
Brother Branham was a mighty angel of the Lord, a covenant prophet anointed like John the Baptist, to introduce Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming. He did not fabricate his Message as he went along but unfolded prophecies of Scripture as they were revealed to him by Divine inspiration. Many of these revelations were foreshadowed symbolically in visions, in seemingly everyday but nonetheless significant happenings, and in Spiritual dreams recounted by believers and recorded in services years before they transpired. His December 30, 1962 sermon, "Is This the Sign of the End, Sir?" illustrates this point and should be studied in preparation for this series on the Revelation of the Seven Seals. The transcript is available for free download here, and also from here.
Reading from page 25:3 to 27:6, the Prophet recounts a vision the Lord showed him on December 22, 1962: "Now, it seemed like that my little son Joseph was by my side. I was talking to him. Now, if you'll watch the vision real close, you'll see why Joseph was standing there. And I looked, and there was a big bush. And on this bush was a constellation of birds, little bitty birds, about a half inch long and a half inch high, they were little veterans. Their little feathers was beat down. And there was about two or three on the top limb, six or eight on the next limb, and fifteen or twenty on the next limb, coming down in the shape of the pyramid. . . And they were pretty well worn out. And they were watching eastward, and I was at Tucson, Arizona, in the vision. For it made it so purpose that He didn't want me to fail to see where it was at, I was picking a sand burr off of me from the desert. And I said, "Now, I know this is a vision, and I know that I'm at Tucson. And I know that them little birds there represent something." And they were watching eastward. And all of sudden they taken a notion to fly, and away they went eastward.
And as soon as they left, a constellation of larger birds came. They looked like doves, sharp pointed wings, kind of a gray color, a little lighter color than what these first little messengers was. And they were coming eastward swiftly. And no sooner than they got out of my sight, I turned again to look westward, and there it happened. There was a blast that actually shook the whole earth. Now, don't miss this. And you on tape, be sure you get this right.
First a blast. And I thought it sounded like a sound barrier, or ever-what you call it when planes cross the sound, and the sound comes back to the earth: just shook like roared, everything. Then it could've been a great clap of thunder and lightning like. I didn't see the lightning. I just heard that great blast that went forth that sounded like it was south from me, towards Mexico.
But it shook the earth, and when it did, I was still looking westward. And way off into eternity I saw a constellation of something coming. It looked like that it might've been little dots. There could've been no less than five, and not more than seven. But they were in the shape of a pyramid, like these messengers coming.
And when it did, the power of Almighty God lifted me up to meet them. And I can see it. It's never left me. Eight days is gone, and I can't forget it yet. I never had anything to bother me like that has. My family will tell you.
I could see those Angels, those shaped-back wings traveling faster than sound could travel. They come from eternity in a split like a twinkling of an eye, not enough to bat your eye, just a twinkle. They were there. I didn't have time to count. I didn't have time, no more than just look. Mighty ones, great powerful Angels, snow white, wings set in head, and they were "whew wheeew," and when it did, I was caught up into this pyramid of constellation. And I thought, "Now, this is it." I was numbed all over, and I said, "Oh, my. This means that there will be a blast that will kill me. I'm at the end of my road now. I mustn't tell my people when this vision leaves. I don't want them to know about it, but the heavenly Father has let me know now that my time is finished. I won't tell my family so they'll worry about me, because He's fixing to go and these Angels has come for me, and I'll be killed pretty soon now in some kind of an explosion."
Then it came to me, while I was in this constellation, "No, that isn't it. If it would've killed you it would've killed Joseph, and I could hear Joseph calling me." Well, then I turned again, and I thought, "Lord God, what does this vision mean?" And I wondered, and then it come to me, not a voice, just come to me. Oh, that is the Angels of the Lord coming to give me my new commission. And when I thought that, I raised up my hands, and I said, "O Lord Jesus, what will You have me do?" And the vision left me. For almost an hour, I couldn't feel.
Now, you people know what the blessings of the Lord is. But the power of the Lord is altogether different. The power of the Lord in them kind of a places, I felt it many, many times before in vision, but never like that. It feels like a reverent fear. I was so scared till I was paralyzed in the presence of these Beings. I tell the truth. As Paul said, "I lie not." You never caught me saying anything wrong about something like that? Something's fixing to happen. Then after while I said, "Lord Jesus, if I'm going to be killed, let me know so I won't tell my people about this; but if it's something else, let me know." Nothing answered.
After the Spirit left me for about a half hour I guess or more I said, "Lord, if it is then that I am going to be killed, and You're finished with me on earth, and I'm going to be taken home now, which if that's it, that's fine. That's all right." So I said, "If it is, let me know. Send Your power back on me again. Then I'll know not to tell my people, or anybody about it, because You're fixing to come catch me away." And nothing happened. And I waited awhile. Then I said, "Lord Jesus, if it did not mean that, and it means that You've got something for me to do and it'll be revealed to me later, then send Your power." And it almost took me from the room.
I found myself somewhere over in a corner. I could hear my wife somewhere trying to shake a door. The door in the bedroom was locked. And I had a Bible open, and it was reading. . . I don't know, but it was in, I believe, Romans the ninth chapter, the last verse: "Behold I lay in Sion a cornerstone, a stumbling stone, a precious cornerstone, and whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed." And I thought, "It's strange I'd be reading that." (Spirit still packing me in the room).
And I closed up the Bible and stood there. I went over to the window. (It was about ten o'clock in the day or better), and I raised up my hands, and I said, "Lord God, I don't understand. This is a strange day to me. And I'm beside myself almost." And I said, "Lord, what does that mean? Let me read again, if it be You." Now, this sounds juvenile. And I took up the Bible, opened it up. There it was again at the same place: Paul telling the Romans that the Jews tried to accept it by works, but it's by faith that we believe it".
God gave Brother Branham three signs as He did Moses. Jesus said, "I will make you fishers of men," so employing the terminology of a fisherman the Prophet referred to his signs as three "pulls" by means of which a fisherman attracts the attention of the one particular fish he wishes to catch by pulling the lure. The tiny little messengers, and the doves which went East represented the first and second 'pulls' of his ministry—the Supernatural sign that appeared on his hand by which God indicated the nature of a disease and the Messianic sign of Hebrews 4:12. These attracted a school of "fish" from among which his 'third pull', represented by the constellation of angels, would catch the rainbow trout, or elect of God. This is fully explained in Newsletter #507, and in our free PowerPoint presentation, "The Second Coming of Christ".
A constellation is an alignment of stars. "The seven stars are the angels to the Seven Church [Ages]" (Revelation 1:20)—Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Martin Luther, John Wesley and William Branham, whose ministries were endued with a portion of "the sevenfold Spirit of God sent forth into all the Earth." As the revelation was restored through the Reformation of the last three Church Ages the Spiritual atmosphere was transformed from relative darkness to Light and aligned to form a cloud of pure Spirit, not atmospheric moisture but the Shekinah of the theophanies of the seven angels, portraying Jesus, "the Light of the world." After the close of the seventh Church Age and Christ's Mediation we find the seven spirits of God back before the throne which is now a judgment seat (Revelation 4:5; 5:6). The bush in which the birds settled represents the Laodicean Church Age with the Messages of the Reformers—justification, sanctification, and the restoration of the Gifts of the Spirit.
After the close of Laodicea, the seven portions of the Spirit that manifested the ministries of the seven angels were aligned as a heavenly constellation, for the ministry of the seventh angel was to gather up the incomplete or PART-Word revelations of the Seven Church Ages to restore the apostolic faith (Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11; Ephesians 1:10; 4:13). Anointed by the fullness of the Spirit he revealed the mysteries of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10, which are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals to "finish the mystery of God spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began" and literally turn the hearts of the children to their apostolic fathers (Acts 3:21; Revelation 10:1-7). Now Christ the mystery of God once revealed in virgin-born flesh, is revealed as the Logos or fullness of the Word in His second or parousia Coming introduced by Brother Branham's 'third pull,' which is unrecognized by most of the "fish" as it is sent exclusively to catch the "rainbow trout." The 'third pull' opened the Word within the constellation of the fullness of the Spirit to incarnate and transform Christ's end-time Bride into the Capstone that completes the pyramid (Revelation 10:1-7; Romans 9:31-33). This was Brother Branham's "new commission," foretold in 1933 as he was baptizing the seventeenth of five hundred penitents before 5,000 witnesses on the banks of the Ohio River, when the Pillar of Fire appeared above him in the form of a star, and a Voice said, "As John the Baptist was sent to forerun My first Coming, your Message will forerun My second Coming".
The "great clap of thunder" or "blast that actually shook the whole earth" was the opening of the First Seal (Revelation 6:1). "So, encircled as we are with such a great cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and the sin that ensnares us so readily, and run with perseverance the course mapped out before us. Now let us look [away from the messengers and Messages of the seven earthly angels] to Jesus, the Pioneer and Perfecter of our faith".
Reading now from page 13:4 to 9, the Prophet recounts a vision the Lord showed him in 1957: "And in this vision I saw, there was something that had come through the lane, and there was stones lying all over my yard. And there was graders and scrapers up and down the lane, and trees had been cut down and rooted up. And I started to turn into the gate, and it was all blocked off with stones. And I got out to say to the man, "Why this?" And he got very hostile, shoved me backwards and said, "That's the way with you preachers."
I said, "I only ask you, why do you do this? You're coming over on my side of the street here. Why did you do this?" And he just almost slapped me and shoved me back.
And I thought, "I am just going to tell him that he doesn't know what he is talking about," and a voice spoke, said, "Don't do that. You are a minister."
And I said, "Very well."
And I turned around, and to my right, setting in front of the gate, was an old prairie schooner. If you know what: a covered wagon, with horses hitched to it. And setting opposite the driver's side was my wife. I looked back in the back, and my children was setting back there. I climbed up on the wagon. I said to my wife, "Honey, I've stood all I can stand."
And I picked up the lines, and pulled the lead horse, and started heading westward. And a Voice said to me, "When this comes to pass, then go westward."
This vision came to pass on the first week of January, 1963, when Brother Branham and his family relocated Westward to Tucson, Arizona, to meet the constellation of angels after the close of the Laodicean Church Age, where like John, who represents Christ's end-time Bride throughout the Book of Revelation, He was "caught up in the Spirit and shown things that must take place after the end of the Laodicean Church Age" (Revelation 4:1).
Brother Branham recalled that on about March 4, 1963: "I was going hunting with a friend, not knowing what was going to happen. And someone called me, the one that criticized me about that picture of the Angel of the Lord [left], the one that took it. I had to go to Houston about his son, for he was going in the death row and was going to be killed in a few days. And he met me in there and throwed his arms around me, said, "Think, the very man that I criticized comes to save my only son!" The humane society give me what they call an Oscar, or whatever you want to call it, for saving a life. [Do you see the type of Christ in Brother Branham? Mr. Kipperman, was a Jewish photographer hired by Dr. Betts, a Baptist minister to photograph him exposing Brother Branham as a fraud; God vindicated His Prophet, and Brother Branham saved his son from execution in the electric chair. See Newsletter #245].
Then we went back, I went up in the mountain to hunt. And there Brother Fred and I, one morning when I walked out, I had already got my javelina, and I looked and seen the place where he went. I said, "Brother Fred, go over on that mountain early in the morning now, about the break of day, and I'll get on the other one. I won't shoot at the hog, won't kill him. But if they start over this way, the herd, I'll shoot in front of them then run them back."
Brother Fred went out there and there was no hogs. He waved at me and I seen. I went down in a canyon, some big chasms, the sun was just coming up. I come around the other side of the hill, not thinking nothing about the prophecy. Set down, waiting, resting, I thought, "What happened to those hogs?" . . . Set down like Indians do, you know, cross-legged, and I looked on my overall leg and there was a bullheader. I picked it up, and I said, "That's strange! Here I am, about forty miles northeast of Tucson. There's my little boy Joseph setting there waiting for me." And as I started to look, I seen a herd of hogs come out about a thousand yards from me, up on a mountain, I throwed the bullheader down. I said, "I'll get them. I'll go get Brother Fred, and I'll hang up a piece of paper to let know which way to go on this ocotillo here, and we'll get Brother Fred."
And I started up the mountain, running as hard as I could on the other side. All of a sudden, I thought somebody shot me. I never heard such a blast, it shook the whole country. And, when it did, standing before me was seven Angels in a cluster.
I met Brother Fred and them a little after. Said, "What was it?"
I said, "That was it."
"What are you going to do?"
"Return home. For, THUS SAITH THE LORD, the seven mysteries that's been hid in the Bible all these years, these denominations and everything, God is going to open those seven mysteries to us in the Seven Seals."
There was that circle coming up from the earth, like a mist forming. When it did, it went plumb up into the mountain, begin to circle on westward from the way it come. Science found it after while, thirty miles high and twenty-five miles across, just exactly in the circle of the pyramid.
And the other day, standing there, turned the picture to the right, and there's Jesus as He was in the Seven church Ages, the white wig on, showing Supreme Deity. He's Alpha and Omega; He's the First and the Last; He is the Supreme Judge of all eternity, standing there, confirmed the Message of this hour. And there shall be Light about the evening time! What's it all about? What was it (What is the Attraction on the Mountain, p. 21:134-142)?
Brother Branham said: "He is the One Who opened those Seals; He is those Seals. For the whole Word of God is Christ, and Christ is the Seals that was open. What is the opening of those Seals then? Revealing Christ."
"And the very seven Angels which represented the Seven Churches was all completed, and we couldn't even see It. The [media] took the picture, not us. And there He is standing there, supreme Judge, showing that He is Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. What identification. Quickening Power did that to us."
"Quickening Power lets us see His Coming. Quickening Power snatched us from death to Life. Quickening Power gives discernment to know what's wrong with you, and what to do, what you have done, and what you ought not have done, what you should have done, and what you will be. Quickening Power. All these things" (It is the Rising of the Sun, p. 39:308-310).
Brother Branham said: "Something happened the other day. You read, or heard the tape, the seven thunders, "Is This the Sign of the End, Sir?" See? It happened the other day. You know these things. . . The time is at hand, church. The time is at hand. Don't, don't, don't wait any longer. See?
How do you know the rapture is not going on all the time? First thing you know it'll be past, one disappearing here, and there. It'll be gone the first thing you know . . . Judgment will strike the world. You say, "Well, I thought this. . ." "It's too late now."
You remember, they didn't know it until the day they entered into the ark, and then it was too late. The foolish virgin didn't know until she come back and found the wise virgin gone. Then she was left for the tribulation period" (God Hiding Himself in Simplicity, #34:2, p. 41:302-304).
Often we cannot recognize truth because our understanding passes through the fog of religious knowledge, establishment paradigms—perversions of history and social norms, instead of God's unchanging Word. nl637.htm

Banks closed in Puerto Rico, Michigan, Missouri, Washington
April 30, 2010 — Regulators on Friday shut down three banks in Puerto Rico, two in Missouri, and one each in Michigan and Washington, bringing the number of US bank failures this year to 64. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) took over the banks. . . Full story: yahoo.com
Comment: The failure of IndyMac Bank on July 11, 2008, cost the FDIC an estimated $8 billion. The seven banks that failed this week with combined assets of about $25.8 billion and deposits of $19.6 billion cost the FDIC an estimated $7.33 billion. Prior to this week, the FDIC's estimated losses from 57 bank failures in 2010 stood at about $8.6 billion. This week's failures practically doubled that figure, to $15.93 billion. Amid virtual silence from the bankster-controlled media.
FDIC's deposit insurance fund "fell into the red last year, hitting a $20.9 billion deficit as of [December 31, 2009]." With this year's losses, the fund's deficit has grown to at least $36.8 billion. In addition, the FDIC has a huge exposure for worse-than-expected losses on some $165 billion of assets taken over by acquiring banks. That pretty much wipes out the $45 billion the FDIC announced it was going to raise by requiring banks to pre-pay premiums for the period, 2010 through 2012. Obligations of the FDIC will soon become obligations of the US taxpayer.
Here again, these bank failures are being reported free of any allegations of fraud or even negligence on the part of bank management despite the fact bank assets over-valued from 96% to 125%, were considered in line with reasonable accounting practices sanctioned by the FASB at the time it suspended fair value requirements.
Puerto Rico's GDP is about $76 billion, about 21% of the size of Greece's ($356 billion). What is more relevant to the concerns of US citizens, the fact Greece is experiencing budget problems, or that FDIC-insured banks controlling one-fifth of the value of the assets on Puerto Rico failed in one week? Now you know why the Greek "crisis" has dominated the headlines for months, while matters such as these horrendous bank failures and the impending bankruptcy of the majority of US States barely get a mention?

Catholic Church facilitates Foreign Invasion
April 30, 2010 — In a major embarrassment for followers of the US Catholic Church, Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles compared Arizona's new law to "German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques." He actually wrote this on his personal blog, under the headline, "Arizona's Dreadful Anti-Immigrant Law". . .
Why do Catholic officials want to encourage illegal immigration? The answer is quite simple. Most of the illegal aliens are Catholics. Plus, the church makes lots of government money by hosting and serving the immigrants. These facts are considered by some to be anti-Catholic, which is why you seldom read or hear about them in the major media. But the fact is that millions of American Catholics are disgusted and outraged by the Catholic hierarchy's statements and antics on this issue. . . In short, the evidence shows that the Catholic Church hierarchy has become an agent of the government in facilitating a foreign invasion of the United States. . . Full story: newswithviews.com

The Pill at 50: Sex, Freedom and Paradox
April 22, 2010 — By the 1970s the true impact of the Pill could begin to be measured, and it was not on the sexual behavior of American women; it was on how they envisioned their lives, their choices and their obligations. In 1970 the median age at which college graduates married was about 23; by 1975, as use of the Pill among single women became more common, that age had jumped 2.5 years. The fashion for large families went the way of the girdle. In 1963, 80% of non-Catholic college women said they wanted three or more children; that plunged to 29% by 1973. More women were able to imagine a life that included both a family and a job, which changed their childbearing calculations. As an Indiana teacher, 23, told TIME in 1967, "When I got married I was still in college, and I wanted to be certain that I finished. Now we want to buy a home, and it's going to be possible a lot sooner if I teach. With the Pill I know I can keep earning money and not worry about an accident that would ruin everything."
Employers, meanwhile, lost a primary excuse for closing their ranks to women. It helped that as more women were knocking on the doors, more companies were eager to open them; by 1966, unemployment was around 3.8%. Federal manpower expert Howard Stambler said, "There are almost no men left" to hire. That year the number of adult women working jumped nearly 10%. For the first time, they were hired as clerks on the New York Stock Exchange. "We never would have done this before the Pill," admitted one Midwestern publisher who began hiring mostly women. Female workers' median income, however, was not far above the federal poverty line. . .
Consider the contradictions: It was the first medicine ever designed to be taken regularly by people who were not sick. Its main inventor was a conservative Catholic who was looking for a treatment for infertility and instead found a guarantee of it. It was blamed for unleashing the sexual revolution among suddenly swinging singles, despite the fact that throughout the 1960s, women usually had to be married to get it. Its supporters hoped it would strengthen marriage by easing the strain of unwanted children; its critics still charge that the Pill gave rise to promiscuity, adultery and the breakdown of the family. In 1999 the Economist named it the most important scientific advance of the 20th century. . .
Because the Pill arrived at a moment of epochal social change, it became a handy explanation for the inexplicable. The 1950s felt so safe and smug, the '60s so raw and raucous, the revolutions stacked one on top of another, in race relations, gender roles, generational conflict, the clash of church and state — so many values and vanities tossed on the bonfire, and no one had a concordance to explain why it was all happening at once . . . and the pill become the Pill, the means by which women untied their aprons, scooped up their ambitions and marched eagerly into the new age.
That age has seen changes in social behavior that continue to accelerate. In 1960 the typical American woman had 3.6 children; by 1980 the number had dropped below 2. For the first time, more women identified themselves as workers than as homemakers. "There is a straight line between the Pill and the changes in family structure we now see," says National Organization for Women (NOW) president Terry O'Neill, "with 22% of women earning more than their husbands. In 1970, 70% of women with children under 6 were at home; 30% worked. Now that's roughly reversed". . . Full story: time.com

For those with Ears to Hear
April 30, 2010 — Figures from the John Jay School of Criminal Justice . . . estimate that since 1950, about 280,000 children have been sexually abused by Catholic clergy and deacons. With the shame and denial that accompany sexual abuse, the real number must be much higher.
Worse, this is not just a recent phenomenon. Father Thomas Doyle, a priest, and Richard Sipes and Patrick Wall, former monks, have written that the Catholic Church has recognized the problem of abuse by priests for 2,000 years. Their book, "Sex, Priests and Secret Codes: The Catholic Church's 2000 Year Paper Trail of Sexual Abuse" (Volt Press, 2006) was based on the church's own documents. And far from being the case of a few bad apples, Brooks Egerton and Reese Dunklin have reported that even eight years ago, two-thirds of sitting US bishops have been accused of moving pedophile priests to new assignments. It is not the apples that are bad; it's the barrel.
Under authoritarian rule—whether political or religious—the high ideals preached by leaders have no necessary connection to their behavior. . . It's worth recalling a couple of teachings from this man Jesus, who hangs on the front wall of every Catholic church. He measured the quality of our belief by whatever we do to "the least of these," and said what we do to them, we do also to Him. He said those who mislead children would be better off with a millstone around their neck, and thrown into the sea. And He thought these were among the bedrocks of decency that should be obvious to all "with eyes to see and ears to hear." This is part of the background against which any individual or church calling itself Christian must be judged. . . Full story: truthout.org

Big Brother to track Your Medication Compliance with Electronic Transmitters in Pills
April 27, 2010 — One new technology described at the US Senate Committee on Aging allows "pills to be electronically outfitted with transmitters" which would track the patient's compliance with medications and broadcast that information back to government health care enforcers who check for "compliance and efficacy. . . Big Government, you see, doesn't just want to monopolize health care; it wants to monitor your compliance . . .
If you take too much vitamin C, for example—beyond what is allowed by CODEX—it could trigger a monitored alert that causes government-run medical operatives to force their way into your home and confiscate your "non-compliant" vitamins. If your vitamin D levels rise high enough to actually prevent cancer, they could have you arrested for "spending too much time in the sun" and thrown into a hospital with no windows to, as they claim, "Protect you from skin cancer"...

The Conspiracy to Destroy all existing Governments and Religions
In order to be able to provoke the final social cataclysm between Communists and Christians, Albert Pike had to put Illuminists in control of the Vatican's political policies. To enable the Illuminati to infiltrate into the Vatican Pike ordered Mazzini to build up an anti-Vatican atmosphere in Europe until, as we know, the lives of all within the Vatican were threatened. Then Karl Rothschild, the son of Mayer Anselm Rothschild (who financed Weishaupt's organization of the Illuminati) intervened on behalf of the Vatican on the grounds that he wished to prevent unnecessary bloodshed. Thus one of the highest members of the Illuminati won the gratitude and appreciation of the Pope and Vatican officials. He then placed agentur of the Illuminati within the Vatican as Experts and advisers on finance and politics. Thus they made good Weishaupt's boast when he wrote "We will infiltrate into that place (the Vatican) and once inside we will never come out. We will bore from within until it remains nothing but an empty shell."
Since the Illuminati infiltrated into the Vatican, those who direct the Luciferian conspiracy have fomented two world wars, which divided Christendom into opposing armies. Christians of all denominations blew each other off the face of this earth by the millions. The net result is that the masses controlled by Atheistic Communism are now equal in strength to what remains of Christendom. What has happened to date is strictly in accordance with Weishaupt's revision of the Luciferian conspiracy. How it has happened is strictly in keeping with the blueprint of action drawn up by Albert Pike, 1850 to 1886, in his mansion in Little Rock, Ark. The Secret Archives of the Vatican are more complete than any other in this world. What a difference there would have been in the pages of history if the Illuminati had not had the power to impose a conspiracy of silence upon all governments, political and religious.
I have many letters from priests who have lived in Rome, and studied in the Vatican. They give a wealth of evidence to prove that the Holy Father is little better than a prisoner within the Vatican exactly in the same way that the President of the United States is a prisoner within the White House; the Queen of England a prisoner in Buckingham Palace, and Khrushchev a prisoner within the Kremlin. Only once, in recent years, has the constant surveillance maintained over the Pope been relaxed. That was when his Holiness was thought to be at death's door. We are told he had sunk so low that only a modern miracle could have given him the strength to summon an official he knew he could trust. He ordered this official to send out an appeal and ask all Roman Catholics "To pray for the silent Church". . . (William Guy Carr, The Conspiracy to Destroy all existing Governments and Religions, p. 17-18).
Comment: Traditionalists expose the apostasy of Pope John Paul II, the heresy, errors and Ecumenical One-World Church of Pope Benedict XVI . . . "busily selling out our Catholic faith to heretics, schismatics and Jews." These colour photographs document the assimilation of the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church, Judaism, Judaeo-Masonry, and affiliations with all world religions preliminary to world hegemony under Satan's soon-coming papal incarnation. The Polish text translated in Google.
This compliments our main article, explaining how and why the Moneypower is working to "consolidate the four centers of power—political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical as foretold in Daniel 7; 9:27 and Revelation 13 and 17. The Judaeo-Roman Catholic church was at no time Christian.

The Whole Creation Groans in Travail – Part VII
Genesis 3:15, "I will put enmity between the Serpent and the woman, and between his seed and her seed; it shall bruise His Head, and He will bruise his heel".
God has His purpose, Satan his counterplan. But "God, having chosen us in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. . . , we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Ephesians 1:4; Romans 8:28). Now in order to identify policy and purpose historically, one must recognize individual events in a particular chain—a chain beginning somewhere in the past and extending into the future. Christians look for the realization of the substance promised in Old Testament shadows and types. But when we recognize the chain, we perceive also the core of intent, and the existence of long-term policies denote the existence of antichrist organizations which sustain their antithesis. The United States of America is a definite and very important item in an ancient plan which was interrupted by the expulsion from England in the late thirteenth century and from Europe in the early fourteenth century of the Jews and their associates whom we now call Freemasons, but who were then called Knights Templars.
The design of the Great Seal of the United States was the work of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, all Freemasons; the reverse portrays a truncated pyramid with the headstone bearing a picture of the All-Seeing Eye, the symbol of Freemasonry, suspended above the Pyramid. The pyramid is the symbol of world government, in the light of which the history of the United States is bound up with financial buccaneering and political corruption of the super-capitalism of the power elite, which accompany Judaeo-Masonry. You will note the Western side of the pyramid or new world order which rises in the East, is dark in accordance with the doom planned for the United States by the 'hidden hand,' and prophesied in Scripture, and by God's prophet William Branham, who said, "How can I pray for it, and it won't repent under the mighty powers of God demonstrated before it, and denying, and closing the doors to it, and walking away? I commit it to God. And she's going further away, and now she's going to sink. Just watch what happens . . . is ready to fall in . . . They're swarming away from California like flies" (Trying to do Good a service without it being the Will of God, p. 6:22-23, 136, 184-185; Ashamed, p. 8:51-59).
The Great Seal of the United States is an imposture of the Bible in stone, which represents the rightful Rulers of earth, Jesus Christ and His Bride (Genesis 1:28; Revelation 3:21). It is not brains of which the Plotters are afraid—it is integrity. Considered as a group, a nation is not rational; it is a force, not an intelligence; therefore one nation or group after another can be used and manipulated by a concentrated supernatural, conscious intelligence. This is evident from Church history as God's Light passed from Jerusalem to Asia Minor, to France, Ireland, Germany, England, and the United States, the Darkness of civilization, organization, nicolaitanism, denomination, and apostasy pursued it to the ends of the earth—the West coast of the United States. And we are witnesses of the geographical shift of the 'hidden hand' in Europe from Spain to France, and via Holland and England to Germany, thence to Russia . . . and the United States.
After draining and pillaging one country after another, the international Moneypower, the wandering Jew, moves on to the next passive victim. General Ludendorff observed, "The majority of the English do not realize that, having done their duty by the inner Jewish circle, they have now got to disappear as a world power" (The Coming War, 1931). The Light of God's unchanging Word has traveled from the East to the West, soon judgment will strike the West Coast of the USA, the Gentile dispensation will end, and the Light will return to its starting point, "Jerusalem, the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified" (Revelation 11:8). Then the US, but for her blooded military will have fulfilled its utility, and drained and pillaged, set for destruction.
Senator Barry Goldwater, stated: "The [Rockefeller-funded] Council on Foreign Relations is the American branch of a society [Rothschild's RIIA] which originated in England . . . [and] . . . believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established. . . In my view, the Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power—political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical . . . What the Trilaterals truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the political government of the nation-states involved. They believe the abundant materialism they propose to create will overwhelm existing differences. As managers and creators of the system, they will rule the future (With No Apologies, (1979), p. 128, 284-285). In this regard CFR member Zbigniew Brzezinski, a founding member of Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission, admitted in his book, Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era: "The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty. . . In the economic-technological field, some international cooperation has already been achieved, but further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position." He also stated that: "The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. . . subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities".
Precious few are conscious of the utter disdain and enmity with which they are regarded by the alien 'hidden hand' whose Svengalis pull the strings of the best politicians money can buy to 'front' our Hegelian sham democracies, or that it is their taxes have funded totalitarian Communist countries and anti-Christ religions controlled by the same 'hidden hand' which will shortly refinance the US dollar with gold backing, and rule the world in alliance with the ecclesiastical power of Rome. Presently the Euro zone states are on their knees while Britain's public sector net debt was an unsustainable of 62.0% GDP at the end of March 2010.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., donated the land on which the now aging UN New York offices of Lucifer's proto-world government were built. An astute Sister called my attention to the May 17, 1963 "Life" Magazine, whose cover featured Governor Nelson Rockefeller and the woman called to be his bride. Rockefeller negotiated purchase of the land for the "Novus Ordo Seclorum" team. But buried on page 112, unrecognized by millions of readers, is "the sign of Christ's 'parousia' Coming" calling His end-time Bride to dominion of His New World Order as foretold in Matthew 24:3 (26:64; Revelation 1:7, 14; Daniel 7:9; Acts 1:9-11). Once hidden behind the frame of a humble carpenter, the heavenly Bridegroom is now revealed to His earthly Bride veiled in the simplicity of the Cloud, the Shekinah of His Presence, looking down in judgment upon this Christ-rejecting earth.
This preview of Judgment was revealed to Christ's end-time Bride: "When Christ opened the Sixth Seal I ... (insert your name) ... saw a great earthquake, and the Sun became black as sackcloth of coarse goat's hair, and the full Moon [of Nisan 14] became as blood [caused by lunar volcanoes]; and the stars of heaven appeared to be falling to earth, like the green fruit from a fig tree shaken by a mighty wind. The heaven departed like a scroll that is rolled up; and every mountain and island shook and was dislodged" (Revelation 6:12-14).
The mountains shook in the Baja, Mexicali earthquake last Easter, filling the skies with dust. And according to research scientist Richard Gross of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, the 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile on February 27, may have changed Earth's rotation, having moved her axis by about 3 inches and shortened the length of days on our planet by 1.26 microseconds. Were the Sun and Moon to stand still, or were Earth's crust to move over its mantle the Sun would not light a segment of the Earth and the stars would appear to fall. Is this the implication of Isaiah 13:10-14; 34:4, and Revelation 6:12?
Joshua applied the 'third pull' in the sight of Israel, commanding, "Sun, stand still upon Gibeon; and Moon, remain in the valley of Ajalon" (Joshua 10:12-14; Habakkuk 3:11). Clearly if the sun "hasted not to go down about a whole day" the phenomenon could not have been merely a local spectacle, Earth's whole surface had to be affected. If the sun hung in the morning sky over Gibeon, twilight or darkness was prolonged for the same period elsewhere. Astronomical records and traditions in many nations record a long day or night corresponding to this event. Joshua 10:10-11 says, "The Lord discomfited the Amalakites before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, then pursued them down the slope of Bethhoron, and at Makkedah. As they fled from Israel down the slope of Bethhoron to Azekah, the Lord cast great stones upon them from heaven, and they died. More died from the hailstones than the Israelites slew with the sword." The near brush of a comet may have caused this torrent of meteorites to rain upon the Earth. Perhaps this explains the hail prophesied in Revelation 11:19 and 16:21, and why the Vatican maintains astronomical observatories. The prophesied "shaking" of the mutable heavens, sea, and dry land, are a necessary preliminary to the setting up of the Stone Kingdom that will stand fast forever with those things which cannot be shaken (Haggai 2:6-7; Hebrews 12:26-27; Daniel 2:44).
Newsletter #623 described the same vision the Lord revealed in Isaiah 13:10-14 two thousand seven hundred years ago, invoking judgment on MYSTERY Babylon (when the union between the spiritual and physical Serpent's seed disintegrates – Daniel 2:40-45), and as the Medes and the nations of Persia and Armenia ended Judah's captivity under the first Gentile world empire by defeating ancient Babylon in man's day, in the day of the Lord He will assemble the modern "Medes" and all of the nations to execute judgment upon Judah's present-day captors as prophesied in Ezekiel 38 and 39 where Magog represents Russia, which sprung from intermarriage between Scythians and Medes. God will execute His fierce anger upon the arrogant non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews who are foreigners to Israel, bound neither by ties of piety nor possession and who will "flee like scared gazelles or a panic-stricken herd, every man to his own people, and flee every one into his own land" (Isaiah 13:14-17; Jeremiah 46:16; 50:16).
The whole creation is groaning in travail to be purged of human evil: the Sun, Moon and Stars will be cleansed for the millennium through the great tribulation, and after the nuclear annihilation throws Earth toward the Sun, it will be restored to its antediluvian axis (Romans 8:18-23).
Jesus echoes Isaiah in Luke 21:25-28: "There shall be signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars, with distress on earth among the nations, bewilderment at the roaring of the [tidal] waves, men's hearts failing from dread and apprehension about events that are about to take place in the world [Isaiah 13:7, in particular nuclear war]: for the stability of the heavens will be broken up [as it was in the days of Noah; more particularly by the casting down of Satan - Revelation 12:7-12]. Then shall they see the [sign of Christ's 'parousia' Coming in Judgment as] Son of man in a Cloud with power and great glory (Acts 1:9-11; I Thessalonians 4:14; Revelation 1:7). And when these things begin to occur [as they have], stand up and raise your heads confident in the revelation of Christ's 'parousia,' knowing your redemption draws nigh." Because Jesus said in Matthew 24:29 these cosmic signs of the Sun, Moon and Stars will occur "immediately after the tribulation" to the Gentile Church from the sight of Rome's legions on the Mount of Olives until the revelation of "Light in the evening time" has drawn Christ's end-time eagles to maturity in the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation (Matthew 24:15-29; Zechariah 14:7; Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 16:46-57). At the Seventh Trump, an earthquake will sink Los Angeles and the Lord will anoint two Hebrew prophets to reconfirm the New Testament to Israel (Joel 2 - 3).
Revelation 8:3-5 is in parenthesis explaining what takes place during the silence in heaven about the space of half an hour after Jesus Christ had opened the Seventh Seal. "And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and a vast quantity of incense was given to him to mingle with the prayers of all saints [for we are one Body] upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand".
This "vast quantity of incense," the Prophet is mingling with the prayers or revelations of all saints is "the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him, to show to His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and Jesus sent and signified it by His angel [William Branham] to His servant John" (Revelation 1:1; 3:14; 10:7; 14:8; 22:6, 9-10, etc). It is the "huge portion of Heaven . . . [which] . . . in itself is what will give and make come to pass the tremendous victory in the love divine." A combination of incense with the prayers (or revelation) indicates Divine acceptance. Added to the faith of all saints it presents a perfect and acceptable offering "in the unity of the faith".
Then "the angel took the censor, and filled it with fire of the altar [typed by Christ following His crucifixion and before Titus besieged Jerusalem (Ezekiel 10:2, 7)], and cast it into the Earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake." These coals from the altar of incense in the heavenly Sanctuary whereon the revelation of God's Word made flesh in the Bride of each age was sanctified and offered back to Him, are cast down with Satan and his angels at the close of the evening service of the Pentecostal feast, cleansing the Sanctuary of their dross and smiting Earth with the curse of judgment (Malachi 4:6; Matthew 3:12; Revelation 12:7-10). The Alaskan earthquake on Good Friday 1964 was a token of what will take place at the Seventh Trump of Revelation 11:15-19, the Sixth Seal, the Third Woe and the Seventh Vial. The Seventh Trumpet is the reverse of the Seven Seals manifest in the revelation of the previous Six Trumpet mysteries to Israel through God's two witnesses.
Revelation 8:6 – 9:21 provide Christ's end-time with a symbolical retrospective of the first Six Trumpet Judgments upon Israel from the siege and destruction of Jerusalem under Roman General Titus to the World Wars and alien occupation since that time. These mysteries will be revealed under the "sounding" of the Seventh Trumpet. Revelation 11:15-19, "And the Seventh Trumpet angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, shouting, The kingdom of this world now belongs to our Lord, and to His Christ [for Satan and his demonic host have been cast down to earth (Revelation 12:7-12)]; and He shall reign for ever and ever. And the twenty-four elders seated on their thrones before God, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give You thanks, Lord God Almighty, who is, and was; because You have taken Your great power, and begun to reign. And the nations raged, but now it is time to realize Your wrath upon them, to judge the dead, to reward Your servants, the prophets and saints, and all who revere Your Name, both small and great; and for destroying the destroyers of Earth. Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and Christ, the real Ark of God's Covenant is seen in the Holy of Holies [for there was no longer any veil]: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail." The symbolism signifies a restoration of God's favour toward Israel, and after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week, their revelation of Christ's 'parousia' Coming to them.
Revelation 16:17-21, "And the seventh angel poured his Vial into the air; and a loud voice came from the throne of the temple in heaven, saying, It is finished! [The curses of the ordeal of jealously have been poured out upon the nominal church after each Age to separate the "foolish virgins" from mainline and Message church harlots (Revelation 15:1, 8)]. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake of a magnitude unprecedented in human history. And the great city [Jerusalem] was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and MYSTERY, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth came in remembrance before God, to make her drain the cup of His furious wrath (Revelation 17:1-6; 18:5). And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. Hailstones, as big as hundredweights, fell down from the sky upon men: and they blasphemed God for the plague of hail, because it was so fearful" (as in Joshua 10:10-11).
At the close of the Gentile dispensation the judgments of the Sixth Seal, Seventh Trumpet and Seventh Vial coincide in judgment. Under the Seventh Vial the foolish virgin will be distinguished from the false church and purged of their unbelief in the revelation of the end-time Message. In answering questions on the Seals, Brother Branham said, "Each age has the virgins" (p. 465:8). Do you see that there are foolish virgin in the circle of this Message? Or would you contend that forty-seven years after the revelation of the Seven Seals those still holding to error and heresy such as the Pentecostal Oneness doctrine of the Godhead; return ministry, the New York Seven Thunders doctrine, the Talmudic two souls, an eighth prophet, or the deity doctrine, are wise virgin whose names are all written in the Lamb's Book of Life? Many within the circle of this Message are not elect but this does not imply their names have been blotted from the Book of Life, and they are lost. Many are dedicated students of the Message, men and women of prayer living blameless and holy lives; being justified and sanctified they are foolish virgin.
Under the Seventh Trumpet God will call 144,000 elect Israelites who return to the land of their Covenant for redemption. There the revelation of their feast of Trumpets will separate them Spiritually from Jews and non-elect Israelites, and purged of their unbelief they will be born as a nation in one day and individually seal their testimony of Jesus Christ in martyrdom.
Under the Sixth Seal the whole creation is to be purged of any filth prior to the Millennium. This will begin with a cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary when Satan and his host are cast down to earth, where it will continue with the upheaval of nature we have discussed. nl631.htm

Banks closed in Puerto Rico, Michigan, Missouri, Washington
April 30, 2010 — Regulators on Friday shut down three banks in Puerto Rico, two in Missouri, and one each in Michigan and Washington, bringing the number of US bank failures this year to 64. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) took over the banks. . . Full story: yahoo.com
Comment: The failure of IndyMac Bank on July 11, 2008, cost the FDIC an estimated $8 billion. The seven banks that failed this week with combined assets of about $25.8 billion and deposits of $19.6 billion cost the FDIC an estimated $7.33 billion. Prior to this week, the FDIC's estimated losses from 57 bank failures in 2010 stood at about $8.6 billion. This week's failures practically doubled that figure, to $15.93 billion. Amid virtual silence from the bankster-controlled media.
FDIC's deposit insurance fund "fell into the red last year, hitting a $20.9 billion deficit as of [December 31, 2009]." With this year's losses, the fund's deficit has grown to at least $36.8 billion. In addition, the FDIC has a huge exposure for worse-than-expected losses on some $165 billion of assets taken over by acquiring banks. That pretty much wipes out the $45 billion the FDIC announced it was going to raise by requiring banks to pre-pay premiums for the period, 2010 through 2012. Obligations of the FDIC will soon become obligations of the US taxpayer.
Here again, these bank failures are being reported free of any allegations of fraud or even negligence on the part of bank management despite the fact bank assets over-valued from 96% to 125%, were considered in line with reasonable accounting practices sanctioned by the FASB at the time it suspended fair value requirements.
Puerto Rico's GDP is about $76 billion, about 21% of the size of Greece's ($356 billion). What is more relevant to the concerns of US citizens, the fact Greece is experiencing budget problems, or that FDIC-insured banks controlling one-fifth of the value of the assets on Puerto Rico failed in one week? Now you know why the Greek "crisis" has dominated the headlines for months, while matters such as these horrendous bank failures and the impending bankruptcy of the majority of US States barely get a mention?

Catholic Church facilitates Foreign Invasion
April 30, 2010 — In a major embarrassment for followers of the US Catholic Church, Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles compared Arizona's new law to "German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques." He actually wrote this on his personal blog, under the headline, "Arizona's Dreadful Anti-Immigrant Law". . .
Why do Catholic officials want to encourage illegal immigration? The answer is quite simple. Most of the illegal aliens are Catholics. Plus, the church makes lots of government money by hosting and serving the immigrants. These facts are considered by some to be anti-Catholic, which is why you seldom read or hear about them in the major media. But the fact is that millions of American Catholics are disgusted and outraged by the Catholic hierarchy's statements and antics on this issue. . . In short, the evidence shows that the Catholic Church hierarchy has become an agent of the government in facilitating a foreign invasion of the United States. . . Full story: newswithviews.com

The Pill at 50: Sex, Freedom and Paradox
April 22, 2010 — By the 1970s the true impact of the Pill could begin to be measured, and it was not on the sexual behavior of American women; it was on how they envisioned their lives, their choices and their obligations. In 1970 the median age at which college graduates married was about 23; by 1975, as use of the Pill among single women became more common, that age had jumped 2.5 years. The fashion for large families went the way of the girdle. In 1963, 80% of non-Catholic college women said they wanted three or more children; that plunged to 29% by 1973. More women were able to imagine a life that included both a family and a job, which changed their childbearing calculations. As an Indiana teacher, 23, told TIME in 1967, "When I got married I was still in college, and I wanted to be certain that I finished. Now we want to buy a home, and it's going to be possible a lot sooner if I teach. With the Pill I know I can keep earning money and not worry about an accident that would ruin everything."
Employers, meanwhile, lost a primary excuse for closing their ranks to women. It helped that as more women were knocking on the doors, more companies were eager to open them; by 1966, unemployment was around 3.8%. Federal manpower expert Howard Stambler said, "There are almost no men left" to hire. That year the number of adult women working jumped nearly 10%. For the first time, they were hired as clerks on the New York Stock Exchange. "We never would have done this before the Pill," admitted one Midwestern publisher who began hiring mostly women. Female workers' median income, however, was not far above the federal poverty line. . .
Consider the contradictions: It was the first medicine ever designed to be taken regularly by people who were not sick. Its main inventor was a conservative Catholic who was looking for a treatment for infertility and instead found a guarantee of it. It was blamed for unleashing the sexual revolution among suddenly swinging singles, despite the fact that throughout the 1960s, women usually had to be married to get it. Its supporters hoped it would strengthen marriage by easing the strain of unwanted children; its critics still charge that the Pill gave rise to promiscuity, adultery and the breakdown of the family. In 1999 the Economist named it the most important scientific advance of the 20th century. . .
Because the Pill arrived at a moment of epochal social change, it became a handy explanation for the inexplicable. The 1950s felt so safe and smug, the '60s so raw and raucous, the revolutions stacked one on top of another, in race relations, gender roles, generational conflict, the clash of church and state — so many values and vanities tossed on the bonfire, and no one had a concordance to explain why it was all happening at once . . . and the pill become the Pill, the means by which women untied their aprons, scooped up their ambitions and marched eagerly into the new age.
That age has seen changes in social behavior that continue to accelerate. In 1960 the typical American woman had 3.6 children; by 1980 the number had dropped below 2. For the first time, more women identified themselves as workers than as homemakers. "There is a straight line between the Pill and the changes in family structure we now see," says National Organization for Women (NOW) president Terry O'Neill, "with 22% of women earning more than their husbands. In 1970, 70% of women with children under 6 were at home; 30% worked. Now that's roughly reversed". . . Full story: time.com

For those with Ears to Hear
April 30, 2010 — Figures from the John Jay School of Criminal Justice . . . estimate that since 1950, about 280,000 children have been sexually abused by Catholic clergy and deacons. With the shame and denial that accompany sexual abuse, the real number must be much higher.
Worse, this is not just a recent phenomenon. Father Thomas Doyle, a priest, and Richard Sipes and Patrick Wall, former monks, have written that the Catholic Church has recognized the problem of abuse by priests for 2,000 years. Their book, "Sex, Priests and Secret Codes: The Catholic Church's 2000 Year Paper Trail of Sexual Abuse" (Volt Press, 2006) was based on the church's own documents. And far from being the case of a few bad apples, Brooks Egerton and Reese Dunklin have reported that even eight years ago, two-thirds of sitting US bishops have been accused of moving pedophile priests to new assignments. It is not the apples that are bad; it's the barrel.
Under authoritarian rule—whether political or religious—the high ideals preached by leaders have no necessary connection to their behavior. . . It's worth recalling a couple of teachings from this man Jesus, who hangs on the front wall of every Catholic church. He measured the quality of our belief by whatever we do to "the least of these," and said what we do to them, we do also to Him. He said those who mislead children would be better off with a millstone around their neck, and thrown into the sea. And He thought these were among the bedrocks of decency that should be obvious to all "with eyes to see and ears to hear." This is part of the background against which any individual or church calling itself Christian must be judged. . . Full story: truthout.org

Big Brother to track Your Medication Compliance with Electronic Transmitters in Pills
April 27, 2010 — One new technology described at the US Senate Committee on Aging allows "pills to be electronically outfitted with transmitters" which would track the patient's compliance with medications and broadcast that information back to government health care enforcers who check for "compliance and efficacy. . . Big Government, you see, doesn't just want to monopolize health care; it wants to monitor your compliance . . .
If you take too much vitamin C, for example—beyond what is allowed by CODEX—it could trigger a monitored alert that causes government-run medical operatives to force their way into your home and confiscate your "non-compliant" vitamins. If your vitamin D levels rise high enough to actually prevent cancer, they could have you arrested for "spending too much time in the sun" and thrown into a hospital with no windows to, as they claim, "Protect you from skin cancer"...

The Conspiracy to Destroy all existing Governments and Religions
In order to be able to provoke the final social cataclysm between Communists and Christians, Albert Pike had to put Illuminists in control of the Vatican's political policies. To enable the Illuminati to infiltrate into the Vatican Pike ordered Mazzini to build up an anti-Vatican atmosphere in Europe until, as we know, the lives of all within the Vatican were threatened. Then Karl Rothschild, the son of Mayer Anselm Rothschild (who financed Weishaupt's organization of the Illuminati) intervened on behalf of the Vatican on the grounds that he wished to prevent unnecessary bloodshed. Thus one of the highest members of the Illuminati won the gratitude and appreciation of the Pope and Vatican officials. He then placed agentur of the Illuminati within the Vatican as Experts and advisers on finance and politics. Thus they made good Weishaupt's boast when he wrote "We will infiltrate into that place (the Vatican) and once inside we will never come out. We will bore from within until it remains nothing but an empty shell."
Since the Illuminati infiltrated into the Vatican, those who direct the Luciferian conspiracy have fomented two world wars, which divided Christendom into opposing armies. Christians of all denominations blew each other off the face of this earth by the millions. The net result is that the masses controlled by Atheistic Communism are now equal in strength to what remains of Christendom. What has happened to date is strictly in accordance with Weishaupt's revision of the Luciferian conspiracy. How it has happened is strictly in keeping with the blueprint of action drawn up by Albert Pike, 1850 to 1886, in his mansion in Little Rock, Ark. The Secret Archives of the Vatican are more complete than any other in this world. What a difference there would have been in the pages of history if the Illuminati had not had the power to impose a conspiracy of silence upon all governments, political and religious.
I have many letters from priests who have lived in Rome, and studied in the Vatican. They give a wealth of evidence to prove that the Holy Father is little better than a prisoner within the Vatican exactly in the same way that the President of the United States is a prisoner within the White House; the Queen of England a prisoner in Buckingham Palace, and Khrushchev a prisoner within the Kremlin. Only once, in recent years, has the constant surveillance maintained over the Pope been relaxed. That was when his Holiness was thought to be at death's door. We are told he had sunk so low that only a modern miracle could have given him the strength to summon an official he knew he could trust. He ordered this official to send out an appeal and ask all Roman Catholics "To pray for the silent Church". . . (William Guy Carr, The Conspiracy to Destroy all existing Governments and Religions, p. 17-18).
Comment: Traditionalists expose the apostasy of Pope John Paul II, the heresy, errors and Ecumenical One-World Church of Pope Benedict XVI . . . "busily selling out our Catholic faith to heretics, schismatics and Jews." These colour photographs document the assimilation of the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church, Judaism, Judaeo-Masonry, and affiliations with all world religions preliminary to world hegemony under Satan's soon-coming papal incarnation. The Polish text translated in Google.
This compliments our main article, explaining how and why the Moneypower is working to "consolidate the four centers of power—political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical as foretold in Daniel 7; 9:27 and Revelation 13 and 17. The Judaeo-Roman Catholic church was at no time Christian.

The Whole Creation Groans in Travail – Part VII
Genesis 3:15, "I will put enmity between the Serpent and the woman, and between his seed and her seed; it shall bruise His Head, and He will bruise his heel".
God has His purpose, Satan his counterplan. But "God, having chosen us in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. . . , we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Ephesians 1:4; Romans 8:28). Now in order to identify policy and purpose historically, one must recognize individual events in a particular chain—a chain beginning somewhere in the past and extending into the future. Christians look for the realization of the substance promised in Old Testament shadows and types. But when we recognize the chain, we perceive also the core of intent, and the existence of long-term policies denote the existence of antichrist organizations which sustain their antithesis. The United States of America is a definite and very important item in an ancient plan which was interrupted by the expulsion from England in the late thirteenth century and from Europe in the early fourteenth century of the Jews and their associates whom we now call Freemasons, but who were then called Knights Templars.
The design of the Great Seal of the United States was the work of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, all Freemasons; the reverse portrays a truncated pyramid with the headstone bearing a picture of the All-Seeing Eye, the symbol of Freemasonry, suspended above the Pyramid. The pyramid is the symbol of world government, in the light of which the history of the United States is bound up with financial buccaneering and political corruption of the super-capitalism of the power elite, which accompany Judaeo-Masonry. You will note the Western side of the pyramid or new world order which rises in the East, is dark in accordance with the doom planned for the United States by the 'hidden hand,' and prophesied in Scripture, and by God's prophet William Branham, who said, "How can I pray for it, and it won't repent under the mighty powers of God demonstrated before it, and denying, and closing the doors to it, and walking away? I commit it to God. And she's going further away, and now she's going to sink. Just watch what happens . . . is ready to fall in . . . They're swarming away from California like flies" (Trying to do Good a service without it being the Will of God, p. 6:22-23, 136, 184-185; Ashamed, p. 8:51-59).
The Great Seal of the United States is an imposture of the Bible in stone, which represents the rightful Rulers of earth, Jesus Christ and His Bride (Genesis 1:28; Revelation 3:21). It is not brains of which the Plotters are afraid—it is integrity. Considered as a group, a nation is not rational; it is a force, not an intelligence; therefore one nation or group after another can be used and manipulated by a concentrated supernatural, conscious intelligence. This is evident from Church history as God's Light passed from Jerusalem to Asia Minor, to France, Ireland, Germany, England, and the United States, the Darkness of civilization, organization, nicolaitanism, denomination, and apostasy pursued it to the ends of the earth—the West coast of the United States. And we are witnesses of the geographical shift of the 'hidden hand' in Europe from Spain to France, and via Holland and England to Germany, thence to Russia . . . and the United States.
After draining and pillaging one country after another, the international Moneypower, the wandering Jew, moves on to the next passive victim. General Ludendorff observed, "The majority of the English do not realize that, having done their duty by the inner Jewish circle, they have now got to disappear as a world power" (The Coming War, 1931). The Light of God's unchanging Word has traveled from the East to the West, soon judgment will strike the West Coast of the USA, the Gentile dispensation will end, and the Light will return to its starting point, "Jerusalem, the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified" (Revelation 11:8). Then the US, but for her blooded military will have fulfilled its utility, and drained and pillaged, set for destruction.
Senator Barry Goldwater, stated: "The [Rockefeller-funded] Council on Foreign Relations is the American branch of a society [Rothschild's RIIA] which originated in England . . . [and] . . . believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established. . . In my view, the Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power—political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical . . . What the Trilaterals truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the political government of the nation-states involved. They believe the abundant materialism they propose to create will overwhelm existing differences. As managers and creators of the system, they will rule the future (With No Apologies, (1979), p. 128, 284-285). In this regard CFR member Zbigniew Brzezinski, a founding member of Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission, admitted in his book, Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era: "The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty. . . In the economic-technological field, some international cooperation has already been achieved, but further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position." He also stated that: "The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. . . subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities".
Precious few are conscious of the utter disdain and enmity with which they are regarded by the alien 'hidden hand' whose Svengalis pull the strings of the best politicians money can buy to 'front' our Hegelian sham democracies, or that it is their taxes have funded totalitarian Communist countries and anti-Christ religions controlled by the same 'hidden hand' which will shortly refinance the US dollar with gold backing, and rule the world in alliance with the ecclesiastical power of Rome. Presently the Euro zone states are on their knees while Britain's public sector net debt was an unsustainable of 62.0% GDP at the end of March 2010.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., donated the land on which the now aging UN New York offices of Lucifer's proto-world government were built. An astute Sister called my attention to the May 17, 1963 "Life" Magazine, whose cover featured Governor Nelson Rockefeller and the woman called to be his bride. Rockefeller negotiated purchase of the land for the "Novus Ordo Seclorum" team. But buried on page 112, unrecognized by millions of readers, is "the sign of Christ's 'parousia' Coming" calling His end-time Bride to dominion of His New World Order as foretold in Matthew 24:3 (26:64; Revelation 1:7, 14; Daniel 7:9; Acts 1:9-11). Once hidden behind the frame of a humble carpenter, the heavenly Bridegroom is now revealed to His earthly Bride veiled in the simplicity of the Cloud, the Shekinah of His Presence, looking down in judgment upon this Christ-rejecting earth.
This preview of Judgment was revealed to Christ's end-time Bride: "When Christ opened the Sixth Seal I ... (insert your name) ... saw a great earthquake, and the Sun became black as sackcloth of coarse goat's hair, and the full Moon [of Nisan 14] became as blood [caused by lunar volcanoes]; and the stars of heaven appeared to be falling to earth, like the green fruit from a fig tree shaken by a mighty wind. The heaven departed like a scroll that is rolled up; and every mountain and island shook and was dislodged" (Revelation 6:12-14).
The mountains shook in the Baja, Mexicali earthquake last Easter, filling the skies with dust. And according to research scientist Richard Gross of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, the 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile on February 27, may have changed Earth's rotation, having moved her axis by about 3 inches and shortened the length of days on our planet by 1.26 microseconds. Were the Sun and Moon to stand still, or were Earth's crust to move over its mantle the Sun would not light a segment of the Earth and the stars would appear to fall. Is this the implication of Isaiah 13:10-14; 34:4, and Revelation 6:12?
Joshua applied the 'third pull' in the sight of Israel, commanding, "Sun, stand still upon Gibeon; and Moon, remain in the valley of Ajalon" (Joshua 10:12-14; Habakkuk 3:11). Clearly if the sun "hasted not to go down about a whole day" the phenomenon could not have been merely a local spectacle, Earth's whole surface had to be affected. If the sun hung in the morning sky over Gibeon, twilight or darkness was prolonged for the same period elsewhere. Astronomical records and traditions in many nations record a long day or night corresponding to this event. Joshua 10:10-11 says, "The Lord discomfited the Amalakites before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, then pursued them down the slope of Bethhoron, and at Makkedah. As they fled from Israel down the slope of Bethhoron to Azekah, the Lord cast great stones upon them from heaven, and they died. More died from the hailstones than the Israelites slew with the sword." The near brush of a comet may have caused this torrent of meteorites to rain upon the Earth. Perhaps this explains the hail prophesied in Revelation 11:19 and 16:21, and why the Vatican maintains astronomical observatories. The prophesied "shaking" of the mutable heavens, sea, and dry land, are a necessary preliminary to the setting up of the Stone Kingdom that will stand fast forever with those things which cannot be shaken (Haggai 2:6-7; Hebrews 12:26-27; Daniel 2:44).
Newsletter #623 described the same vision the Lord revealed in Isaiah 13:10-14 two thousand seven hundred years ago, invoking judgment on MYSTERY Babylon (when the union between the spiritual and physical Serpent's seed disintegrates – Daniel 2:40-45), and as the Medes and the nations of Persia and Armenia ended Judah's captivity under the first Gentile world empire by defeating ancient Babylon in man's day, in the day of the Lord He will assemble the modern "Medes" and all of the nations to execute judgment upon Judah's present-day captors as prophesied in Ezekiel 38 and 39 where Magog represents Russia, which sprung from intermarriage between Scythians and Medes. God will execute His fierce anger upon the arrogant non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews who are foreigners to Israel, bound neither by ties of piety nor possession and who will "flee like scared gazelles or a panic-stricken herd, every man to his own people, and flee every one into his own land" (Isaiah 13:14-17; Jeremiah 46:16; 50:16).
The whole creation is groaning in travail to be purged of human evil: the Sun, Moon and Stars will be cleansed for the millennium through the great tribulation, and after the nuclear annihilation throws Earth toward the Sun, it will be restored to its antediluvian axis (Romans 8:18-23).
Jesus echoes Isaiah in Luke 21:25-28: "There shall be signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars, with distress on earth among the nations, bewilderment at the roaring of the [tidal] waves, men's hearts failing from dread and apprehension about events that are about to take place in the world [Isaiah 13:7, in particular nuclear war]: for the stability of the heavens will be broken up [as it was in the days of Noah; more particularly by the casting down of Satan - Revelation 12:7-12]. Then shall they see the [sign of Christ's 'parousia' Coming in Judgment as] Son of man in a Cloud with power and great glory (Acts 1:9-11; I Thessalonians 4:14; Revelation 1:7). And when these things begin to occur [as they have], stand up and raise your heads confident in the revelation of Christ's 'parousia,' knowing your redemption draws nigh." Because Jesus said in Matthew 24:29 these cosmic signs of the Sun, Moon and Stars will occur "immediately after the tribulation" to the Gentile Church from the sight of Rome's legions on the Mount of Olives until the revelation of "Light in the evening time" has drawn Christ's end-time eagles to maturity in the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation (Matthew 24:15-29; Zechariah 14:7; Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 16:46-57). At the Seventh Trump, an earthquake will sink Los Angeles and the Lord will anoint two Hebrew prophets to reconfirm the New Testament to Israel (Joel 2 - 3).
Revelation 8:3-5 is in parenthesis explaining what takes place during the silence in heaven about the space of half an hour after Jesus Christ had opened the Seventh Seal. "And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and a vast quantity of incense was given to him to mingle with the prayers of all saints [for we are one Body] upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand".
This "vast quantity of incense," the Prophet is mingling with the prayers or revelations of all saints is "the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him, to show to His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and Jesus sent and signified it by His angel [William Branham] to His servant John" (Revelation 1:1; 3:14; 10:7; 14:8; 22:6, 9-10, etc). It is the "huge portion of Heaven . . . [which] . . . in itself is what will give and make come to pass the tremendous victory in the love divine." A combination of incense with the prayers (or revelation) indicates Divine acceptance. Added to the faith of all saints it presents a perfect and acceptable offering "in the unity of the faith".
Then "the angel took the censor, and filled it with fire of the altar [typed by Christ following His crucifixion and before Titus besieged Jerusalem (Ezekiel 10:2, 7)], and cast it into the Earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake." These coals from the altar of incense in the heavenly Sanctuary whereon the revelation of God's Word made flesh in the Bride of each age was sanctified and offered back to Him, are cast down with Satan and his angels at the close of the evening service of the Pentecostal feast, cleansing the Sanctuary of their dross and smiting Earth with the curse of judgment (Malachi 4:6; Matthew 3:12; Revelation 12:7-10). The Alaskan earthquake on Good Friday 1964 was a token of what will take place at the Seventh Trump of Revelation 11:15-19, the Sixth Seal, the Third Woe and the Seventh Vial. The Seventh Trumpet is the reverse of the Seven Seals manifest in the revelation of the previous Six Trumpet mysteries to Israel through God's two witnesses.
Revelation 8:6 – 9:21 provide Christ's end-time with a symbolical retrospective of the first Six Trumpet Judgments upon Israel from the siege and destruction of Jerusalem under Roman General Titus to the World Wars and alien occupation since that time. These mysteries will be revealed under the "sounding" of the Seventh Trumpet. Revelation 11:15-19, "And the Seventh Trumpet angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, shouting, The kingdom of this world now belongs to our Lord, and to His Christ [for Satan and his demonic host have been cast down to earth (Revelation 12:7-12)]; and He shall reign for ever and ever. And the twenty-four elders seated on their thrones before God, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give You thanks, Lord God Almighty, who is, and was; because You have taken Your great power, and begun to reign. And the nations raged, but now it is time to realize Your wrath upon them, to judge the dead, to reward Your servants, the prophets and saints, and all who revere Your Name, both small and great; and for destroying the destroyers of Earth. Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and Christ, the real Ark of God's Covenant is seen in the Holy of Holies [for there was no longer any veil]: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail." The symbolism signifies a restoration of God's favour toward Israel, and after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week, their revelation of Christ's 'parousia' Coming to them.
Revelation 16:17-21, "And the seventh angel poured his Vial into the air; and a loud voice came from the throne of the temple in heaven, saying, It is finished! [The curses of the ordeal of jealously have been poured out upon the nominal church after each Age to separate the "foolish virgins" from mainline and Message church harlots (Revelation 15:1, 8)]. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake of a magnitude unprecedented in human history. And the great city [Jerusalem] was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and MYSTERY, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth came in remembrance before God, to make her drain the cup of His furious wrath (Revelation 17:1-6; 18:5). And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. Hailstones, as big as hundredweights, fell down from the sky upon men: and they blasphemed God for the plague of hail, because it was so fearful" (as in Joshua 10:10-11).
At the close of the Gentile dispensation the judgments of the Sixth Seal, Seventh Trumpet and Seventh Vial coincide in judgment. Under the Seventh Vial the foolish virgin will be distinguished from the false church and purged of their unbelief in the revelation of the end-time Message. In answering questions on the Seals, Brother Branham said, "Each age has the virgins" (p. 465:8). Do you see that there are foolish virgin in the circle of this Message? Or would you contend that forty-seven years after the revelation of the Seven Seals those still holding to error and heresy such as the Pentecostal Oneness doctrine of the Godhead; return ministry, the New York Seven Thunders doctrine, the Talmudic two souls, an eighth prophet, or the deity doctrine, are wise virgin whose names are all written in the Lamb's Book of Life? Many within the circle of this Message are not elect but this does not imply their names have been blotted from the Book of Life, and they are lost. Many are dedicated students of the Message, men and women of prayer living blameless and holy lives; being justified and sanctified they are foolish virgin.
Under the Seventh Trumpet God will call 144,000 elect Israelites who return to the land of their Covenant for redemption. There the revelation of their feast of Trumpets will separate them Spiritually from Jews and non-elect Israelites, and purged of their unbelief they will be born as a nation in one day and individually seal their testimony of Jesus Christ in martyrdom.
Under the Sixth Seal the whole creation is to be purged of any filth prior to the Millennium. This will begin with a cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary when Satan and his host are cast down to earth, where it will continue with the upheaval of nature we have discussed. nl631.htm

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
A Brother subscriber and contributor to this Newsletter wrote: "This is a holy convocation my brother wherein the God of glory is admired and glorified by the saints purchased with His blood. And whereas a gemstone mounted on a ring of gold is beautified, Christ alone, the chief corner stone of Sion, Elect and Precious, is exalted and glorified and worshipped. The ONE who forgave all our iniquities, who healed all of our diseases, cast out demons, made cripples and lame to walk, blind to see, deaf and dumb to hear and speak and preached the gospel of peace to the poor.
Day and night there are gun shots, wailing of sirens and all manner of evil; I believe we are experiencing Revelation 22:14-15, 16-17: "Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they might have right to the Tree of Life and may enter in through the gates into the City. For without are dogs (the kind that have infested the Roman Catholic clergy since the fourth century), and sorcerers, and whoremongers and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie."
Then in verse 16: "The Lord said I Jesus have sent My angel (Hallelujah!), to testify these things to you in the churches. I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the Bride say Come . . . (GLORY!) He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen".
O my, the God of Amen said AMEN to His Word—"And I said, Even so, Come LORD JESUS".
Isaiah 64:1 speaks of the mountains flowing down in volcanic eruptions at His Presence. See how His Presence caused one mountain to erupt in Iceland, not an explosion of 35 or 40 of the world's greatest, no, just one eruption and He blew a little puff of that smoke and ash over Europe and shut down air traffic over that continent. And He said, "Surely I come quickly, Amen".
He will show this world, this wicked adulterous, homosexual generation that He was never a second or third person in the Godhead, neither a twin nor a triplet; but that He is GOD. The ONE person of God who said, "I am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and My Name—LORD JESUS CHRIST—is dreadful among the heathen".
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.

'We've found Noah's Ark!'
April 27, 2010 — British scientists say 'show us your evidence.' Even so, the explorers who say they found seven large wooden compartments beneath snow and volcanic debris near the peak of Mount Ararat can be forgiven their excitement. 'It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark, but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it,' said Yeung Wing-cheung, a filmmaker working with the 15-strong team of fundamentalist Christians exploring the Turkish mountain. This picture released by the evangelical group claims to show one of the explorers examining part of a structure they claim might prove the existence of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat.
There are no external images of the site and the Hong Kong-based group refuse to say precisely where they made their discovery until the Turkish government designate it an archaeological site. They said wood taken from the site, which is more than 13,000ft above sea level, dates to 2,800BC. If it is the ark, the discovery would be the greatest in the history of archaeology and bear out one of the most famous stories in the Bible. The team of Turks and Chinese researchers from Noah's Ark Ministries International in Hong Kong say they made the discovery on Ararat—the biblical resting place of the ark—in October. At a press conference yesterday to announce the discovery, another team member, Panda Lee, said: 'I saw a structure built with plank-like timber. Each plank was about eight inches wide. I could see tenons, proof of ancient construction predating the use of metal nails. We walked about 100 metres to another site. I could see broken wood fragments embedded in a glacier, and some 20 metres long.' The structure had several compartments, some with wooden beams, the team said. The wooden walls of one compartment were smooth and curved while the video shown by the explorers revealed doors, staircases and nails. . .

ETS goes down with Goldman Sucks
April 28, 2010 — Five months ago Australia's glib-tongued Prime Minister proclaimed the so-called "climate change" HOAX and SCAM of the international bankster's "the greatest moral challenge of our time"! It is in fact the greatest amoral challenge of our time, sucking $800 million p. a. on climate change research and more on carbon geo-sequestration. And every state has its own bloated climate change and energy bureaucracies.
Remember, Goldman Sucks is the financial power behind carbon trading worldwide:
Goldman owns 10 per cent of Al Gore's Chicago carbon exchange;
Al Gore's partners in his Generation Investment Management hedge fund in London are all former Goldman Sachs executives—David Blood, Mark Ferguson and Peter Harris;
Malcolm Turnbull, the man who almost delivered the ETS, by cutting a deal with Rudd without his party's support, is Goldman Sachs' main man in Australia.
In "The Great American Bubble Machine" published in the July 2009 edition of Rolling Stone magazine, author Matt Taibbi characterized Goldman Sachs as "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."
"The formula is relatively simple: Goldman positions itself in the middle of a speculative bubble, selling investments they know are crap.—They've been pulling this same stunt over and over since the 1920s—and now they're preparing to do it again, creating what may be the biggest and most audacious bubble yet.—the new game in town, the next bubble, is in carbon credits—a groundbreaking new commodities bubble, disguised as an 'environmental plan,' called cap-and-trade. The new carbon-credit market is a virtual repeat of the commodities-market casino that's been kind to Goldman, except it has one delicious new wrinkle: If the plan goes forward as expected, the rise in prices will be government-mandated. Goldman won't even have to rig the game. It will be rigged in advance."
The ETS was always a scam, an attempt to create a new global derivatives bubble on a trade in thin air, to replace the derivatives bubbles on real estate and stocks that are imploding. . . "If Rudd and Wong dropped the ETS because they were afraid of being drawn into another Goldman Sachs fraud, that's good. While they are at it, they should drop all the other financial system frauds which their policies are aiding and abetting—such as the privatisation of public assets and the private construction of infrastructure, which funnels money into banks like Rothschild and Macquarie, or the government manipulation of the property market, through tax breaks, grants and direct investment, which is driving up property prices to support the faked balance sheets of Australia's major banks."

Financial Reform: the Final Con Game
April 26, 2010 — There are those who have been talking about a single global regulator for years and as a result of the 2008 Credit Crisis, there have been calls to protect you and me from future banking crises through new financial reform. However, we had better consider its real impact. It is not about protecting you and me it is about changing the national regulatory laws of America to conform to a world governmental system and globalizing the last barrier separating individual nation-states. It is about a major power grab of America's financial assets.
Hank Paulson, our second treasury secretary from Wall Street, had issued his "Blueprint for a Modernized Financial Regulatory System" in March, 2008. It called for a total revamping of all of America's assets that were not under control of the Federal Reserve: the entire mortgage industry, banks that were not regulated by the Fed, credit unions, state chartered thrifts, and the insurance industry. The Fed was at the center of all the newly proposed commissions. In other words, a total take over of financial assets not under their control was at stake.
Is anyone putting two plus two together? The Federal Reserve is a private corporation so they do not issue an annual report and no one knows who their shareholders are. This company controls the entire monetary system of the United States which means they create the ups and the downs in the stock market and business cycle. They control credit. If they want to destroy the small businessman, they just stop issuing credit—like they are doing now. The Paulson Blueprint was blatant about them seizing control over all the other major financial assets they don't control. . .
Through the enlarged structure of the Bank for International Settlements and the newly restructured and empowered global regulatory agency, the Financial Stability Board, all of the world's assets are being shifted to a place where they are fair game for central bankers. All you have to do is study the arrangements on the national and global level. This is the con game of all the centuries—it is a colossal robbery of our nation and people.

Can the US beat Israel at their Game?
April 26, 2010 — In December 1948, Albert Einstein and 27 other concerned Jews urged us "not to support this latest manifestation of fascism". . .
Well-planned provocations have long been Tel Aviv's core competence. For a skilled agent provocateur, an anticipated reaction can become a powerful weapon in the arsenal of the provocateur. In response to a mass murder on American soil, even a moderately competent game theorist could foresee that the US would dispatch its military to avenge that attack.
With phony intelligence "fixed" around a preset goal, a game-theory algorithm could predict that our military could be redirected to invade Iraq, a nation that played no role in the attack. Therein lies the game theory-enabled treachery imbedded at the core of this duplicitous relationship.
Happily, our national security apparatus now comprehends the "how" of this non-transparent treason. Concern at its common source is rampant in senior military ranks. Israel and pro-Israelis have been confirmed as those who fixed the intelligence that took us to war on false pretenses. Those "in the know" now grasp that Truman's recognition of this enclave was part of a multi-decade fraud that remains ongoing as Israel seeks to induce us into Iran and even Pakistan.
No one likes to be played for the fool. Yet that's how Israel treated all those it befriended. That includes not only other nations but also those in the broader faith communities deceived to believe they share an identity of interest with this "latest manifestation of fascism." Intelligence agencies are fast coming to recognize the shared mindset of those who prey on the goodwill and trust of others. Their distrust of the US is now morphing into sympathy and pity. . .
Given every opportunity to conduct its affairs consistent with international law and standards of human decency, this extremist enclave chose another course. As both an enabler and a target of these religious extremists, the US has a special obligation to take the lead in withdrawing recognition and securing the nuclear arsenal now under Israeli control.
Further delay only heightens the probability of another agent provocateur operation on a scale of 9/11—doubtless featuring yet another evidentiary trail that points to "Islamo" fascists. With more than 80% of the US Congress declaring an "unbreakable bond" with Israel, Americans face a perilous future in which we need help from other nations to pressure our leaders to act promptly.
We were warned more than six decades ago. Now is the time to heed that warning. Full story: rebelnews.org

Is Israel Wiretapping America?
April 20, 2010 — It's bad enough that the government can listen to you whenever they want. There is an even more troubling side to this Orwellian reality. Israeli companies are wiretapping America. Authorized by our government, they are doing the actual work of listening to and recording the phone, email, and internet communications of at least 100 nations, including America. . . America's largest telecom companies, AT&T and Verizon, have outsourced the job of eavesdropping through their networks, which carry billions of American communications daily, in cooperation with the National Security Agency's (NSA) surveillance program. The spy job for these major companies was outsourced "to two mysterious companies with very troubling foreign connections."
AT&T uses a company called Narus to keep records of everything said on their systems. Narus was founded by an Israeli entrepreneur in Israel with ties to Unit 800 (the NSA of Israel). Verizon's spy system also relies on an Israeli company named Verint. The founder of Verint is an FBI fugitive who remains so. Congress granted retroactive immunity to these companies (AT&T and Verizon) for allowing their systems to be used to spy on American citizens. Stated plainly, American consumers are subject to warrantless surveillance by Israeli-founded companies without Congressional oversight or public knowledge! . . . an "Israeli spin-off" of Verint is able to do "advanced voice-mining" that finds one person's voice in a mountain of intercepted calls. . . much of their bugging equipment is now secretly hardwired into the American telecommunications system.' . .
The time must come, and soon, that Americans realize that the "bonds of loyalty" between America and Israel should long ago have stretched to breaking. Such bonds. . . could actually become the chains of our destruction.

Plan for Freedom
April 22, 2010 — In a recent article, radio talk-show host, columnist for the Washington Times and president of the Edmund Burke Institute, Jeffrey Kuhner, asks the question, "Will America break up?" Kuhner is not the only intelligent and reasonable person asking this question and predicting its reality. Igor Panarin, a professor at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian foreign affairs ministry, predicts that given the way the federal government handles its finances and given the unrecoverable deficit of the US, the US is undoubtedly bound for "extinction in its present form," not even mentioning the political, cultural, religious, moral and foreign-entanglement turmoil of the US. . .
Human nature and experience prove that as a body of people or states regard their God-given freedom and rights as stolen or trampled and as 'peaceful' political process effects no restoration of those freedoms and rights for generations, 'breakup' is not only inevitable, it is necessary. America's founders believed the same: "[I]n the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands."
Do not be deceived into thinking that this necessity will not occur, is impractical or is foolish. The course of events in the United States has proven one thing: the federal government is out of control and has been for generations. . . We the People of the States should not simple-mindedly and passively wait for a 'collapse' of the US, as if our existence consists of nothing more than being cattle, wondering if we are going to the slaughter today or tomorrow. . .

Once the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and elsewhere has brought the world to its knees, Rome will refinance the US dollar with gold backing; her then Devil-incarnate pope will control the world. But when Rome and the USA have served their utility, they will be 'nuked' from the surface of the earth by the 'hidden hand' behind Judaeo-Communist Russia.

Behind Arizona Immigration Law: GOP Game to Swipe November Election
April 26, 2010 — Don't be fooled. The way the media plays the story, it was a wave of racist, anti-immigrant hysteria that moved Arizona Republicans to pass a sick little law, signed last week, requiring every person in the state to carry papers proving they are US citizens. I don't buy it. Anti-Hispanic hysteria has always been as much a part of Arizona as the saguaro cactus and excessive air-conditioning.
What's new here is not the politicians' fear of a xenophobic "Teabag" uprising. What moved GOP Governor Jan Brewer to sign the Soviet-style show-me-your-papers law is the exploding number of legal Hispanics, US citizens all, who are daring to vote—and daring to vote Democratic by more than two-to-one. Unless this demographic locomotive is halted, Arizona Republicans know their party will soon be electoral toast. Or, if you like, tortillas. Full story: truthout.org

Genetically Modified Soy linked to Sterility, Infant Mortality
April 26, 2010 — "This study was just routine," said Russian biologist Alexey V. Surov, in what could end up as the understatement of this century. Surov and his colleagues set out to discover if Monsanto's genetically modified (GM) soy, grown on 91% of US soybean fields, leads to problems in growth or reproduction. What he discovered may uproot a multi-billion dollar industry.
After feeding hamsters for two years over three generations, those on the GM diet, and especially the group on the maximum GM soy diet, showed devastating results. By the third generation, most GM soy-fed hamsters lost the ability to have babies. They also suffered slower growth, and a high mortality rate among the pups.
And if this isn't shocking enough, some in the third generation even had hair growing inside their mouths—a phenomenon rarely seen, but apparently more prevalent among hamsters eating GM soy. . . Full story: newswithviews.com

I Will Restore Saith the Lord
— "In vain do they worship Me" —
Jesus Christ infuriated many of His Jewish listeners by informing them that Talmudic Judaism, the religion they so devoutly followed, was unacceptable to God. The reason for this startling denunciation was simply, "they taught for doctrines the commandments of men" (Mark 7:7). Over the years, they had introduced many traditions, interpretations and even laws which were not given by God and not a part of Holy Scripture. The average Israelite, reared under this mixture of Divine Law and human commandment, trusted the ministry and accepted it without question when it is in fact the antithesis of God's unchanging Word. The main promulgators of this tepid stew were the zealous denominations known as the Scribes and Pharisees. The Scribes were the Pharisee teachers of the Law of Moses, carefully distorted to comprise the Talmud: "There is greater stringency in respect to the teachings of the Scribes than in respect to the Torah—so that a Biblical law may be transgressed" (Sanhedrin 88b). Though unnoticed by the general public who were content with a second-hand religion, their heresy was foremost in the eyes of Jesus Who indicted them for altering God's immutable Word and thereby closing heaven, not only to themselves, but to all those who listened to and trusted in them (Matthew 23:13).
The Gentile church world William Branham stepped into, had drifted into the same unholy mixture. They had the Word of God from which preachers drew their sermon texts. But overall the people had adopted an extremely lax attitude with respect to the authority and precision of Scripture. They ignored the admonition of "those noble Bereans" (Acts 17:11), taking it upon themselves to define major and minor doctrines, choosing which parts of God's Word are relevant and which no longer applied, placing complete trust in the interpretations of their particular denomination which became the ultimate arbiter on Scriptural issues. Consequently, permeating every church and interwoven with every church creed, was a collection of sayings, traditions and misinterpretations built upon the original apostatizing in the fourth century AD. No denomination was innocent in this regard and no denomination is capable of repenting because it is governed by organization and program, not led of the Spirit. Thus individual, repentance would ultimately mean leaving the systems of man behind, in the same way as the followers of Jesus had to bid farewell to their beloved Judaism.
Revelation 17 and 18 teach us that by the time of the Lord's second or 'parousia' Coming, the true enemy of the Gospel is a powerful world church called the Great Harlot, Mystery Babylon, and the Mother of Harlots. She and her adulterous daughters are seen to have formed into a vast system, able to control politics, religion and commerce. This is the destiny of every man-made denomination which, like the first or mother church, vaunt their word above the Word of God. Such will be the momentary splendor of Rome and her (once) Protestant denominational daughters from which God will separate a true Word Bride so She can unite with her Word Groom.
I have selected three of the doctrines William Branham taught which serve to illustrate why it was essential for God to anoint this restoration ministry.
— "Unto what were you baptized?" (Acts 19:3) —
It is evident that sprinkling and infant baptism have no Scriptural foundation, but there is another even more prevalent error that has gone largely unchecked for centuries. The great majority of Christian churches, baptize using the Titles, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, believing they are obeying the commandment of Jesus in Matthew 28:19. They overlook the majestic truth expressed by the prophet Isaiah when he foretold that a Son would be born Who would have ONE (1) glorious Name that would embody all of the Titles and manifestations of God. "For unto us a Son is born, unto us a child is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be CALLED (not is), Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." The disciples to whom this commission was given had the revelation that the NAME (singular) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost was none other than LORD JESUS CHRIST. Consequently, every recorded baptism was done in that Name (Acts 2:38; 8:16; 10:48; 19:5).
Even secular history has no record of water baptism in three Titles until the time of the First Nicea Council. And according to page 59 of the New Catholic Encyclopaedia it was not until about 1100 that the false baptism in three Titles was adopted by the majority of the churches (at the point of a sword). (For more on water baptism see One God or Trinity).
In one of the many places William Branham expressed this truth, he said as follows:
"I admit that it takes a real revelation from the Holy Ghost to see the truth about the Godhead these days when we are in the midst of the perverting of so much Scripture. But the prevailing, overcoming church is built on revelation so we can expect God to reveal His truth to us. However, you actually don't need a revelation on water baptism. It is right there staring you in the face. Would it be possible for one minute for the apostles to be led astray from a direct command of the Lord to baptize in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost and then find them in willful disobedience? They knew what the Name was, and there is not one place in Scripture where they baptized any other way than in the Name of Lord Jesus Christ. Common sense would tell you that the Book of Acts is the church in action, and if they baptized that way, then that is the way to baptize. Now if you think that is strong, what do you think of this? Anyone who was not baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus had to be baptized over again.
Acts 19:1-6, "And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples He said unto them, "Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?" And they said unto him, "We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And He said unto them, "Unto what then were ye baptized?" And they said, "Unto John's baptism." Then said Paul, "John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on Him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them and they spake with tongues and prophesied." There it is. These good people at Ephesus had heard about the coming Messiah. John had preached Him. They were baptized unto repentance of sins, looking forward to believing on Jesus. But now it was time to look back to Jesus and be baptized unto remission of sins. It was time to receive the Holy Ghost. And when they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Paul laid his hands on them and the Holy Ghost came upon them.
Oh, those dear folks at Ephesus were fine people; and if any one had a right to feel secure, they did. Notice how far they had come. They had come all the way up to accepting the coming Messiah. They were ready for Him. But don't you see that in spite of that they had missed Him? He had come and gone. They needed to be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. They needed to be filled with the Holy Ghost.
If you have been baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, God will fill you with His Spirit. That is the Word. Acts 19:6 which we read was the fulfilling of Acts 2:38, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost." See, Paul, by the Holy Ghost, said exactly what Peter said by the Holy Ghost. And what was said cannot be changed. It has to be the same from Pentecost until the very last elected one has been baptized. Galatians 1:8, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 26-27).
— ". . . The LORD our God is One Lord" (Mark 12:29) —
Directly associated with the understanding on water baptism is the truth about the Godhead. The churches "traditionally" believe in three separate or distinct persons in one God. This was the result of a misinterpretation of Scripture which mentions the deity of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost incorporated in a Trinitarian definition at the Hegelian dialectic of the fourth century meeting of the First Nicea Council.
Like the false so-called "baptismal formula," this "new" concept (with the help of armed might), swept Christendom, and over the centuries has become so embedded in Christian thought that to question its validity is tantamount to heresy.
The church lost the revelation that the one God, Jehovah, expressed Himself in the Old Testament as the Father, manifested Himself in the Gospels in the Son, Jesus, and revealed Himself in the Book of Acts as the Holy Spirit. In reality, it is three dispensations of the same God—God above us—God with us—God in us, NOT three persons, but one glorious Person finally and wonderfully unveiled (Hebrews 1:3).
The heathen intellectual minds of the theologians could not reconcile the appearance of the Son on earth to the Father remaining in heaven. Forgetting that God can be in heaven whilst at the same time manifesting Himself on earth (John 14:10), they decided there had to be at least two in the Godhead and the entrance of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 made it three. They made the Son the second person of this Godhead, failing to realize that the Scriptures do not teach that Jesus is in the Godhead, rather that the Godhead is in Jesus. "For in Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily" (Colossians 2:9). They could only see that the Father was a God and the Son was a God and missed the true concept that the Father was God and the Son was the flesh or Man in Whom that God dwelt to redeem Adam's fallen race and the beginning of God creating or unfolding Himself in the form of His Family—the New Testament saints in whom He will dwell and be worshipped through eternity (Luke 1:35; I Timothy 3:16; Revelation 3:14).
The ensuing three-personned deity is every bit as much a form of idolatry as were the various pagan gods the children of Israel would consistently begin to worship.
Through the ages, Bible Truth became increasingly obscured by ignorance and superstition forced upon what was once the Empire of Imperial Rome by a new mistress, the Roman Catholic church. Such was her power, kings submitted to her outrageous demands, and laity were forbidden to read the Bible on pain of excommunication or death. By her own records, and history she martyred over 68 million Christians during almost a thousand years of "Dark Ages" which ensued, many by unspeakable torture.
Because the faith was thus lost, God "winked" at the ignorance of the saints during the Church Ages, provided they walked in the Light of the present Truth as it was restored. The ministry of the last angel was to fully restore the true understanding or faith (including the Godhead and water baptism) to the elect. (For more on the Godhead, see The Uniqueness of The Son of God).
I have selected some comments made by Brother Branham in his series on the Seven Church Ages:
"Now all these expressions, 'Him Which Is,' and 'Him Which Was,' and 'Is to Come,' and 'Faithful Witness,' and 'Firstborn from among the Dead,' and 'Prince of the Kings of the Earth,' and 'The Alpha and Omega,' and 'The Almighty,' are titles and descriptions of one and the same person, Who is the Lord Jesus Christ, Who washed us from our sins in His own blood.
The Spirit of God in John expressed thusly in order to set forth the supreme deity of Jesus Christ and to reveal the Godhead as ONE God. Today there is a gross error. It is that there are three gods instead of one. Thus, revelation as given to John by Jesus, Himself corrects that error. It is not that there are three Gods, but one God with three major offices or dispensation claims with the Titles, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. This mighty revelation is what the early church had, and it must he restored in this last day along with the correct formula of water baptism.
Now modern theologians won't agree with me for here is what was written in a great Christian magazine. "That teaching (on the Trinity) is at the very heart and core of the Old Testament. The New Testament is just as much opposed as the Old Testament is to the thought that there are more gods than one. Yet the New Testament with equal clearness teaches that the Father is God, and the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and that these three are NOT three aspects of the same Person, but three persons standing in a truly personal relationship to one another." There we have the great doctrine of the Three Persons but one God."
They also state, "God, according to the Bible, is just one person, but He is three persons in one God. That is the great mystery of the Trinity".
It sure is. How can three persons be in one God? Not only is there no Bible for it, but it shows even a lack of intelligent reasoning. Three distinct persons, though identical substances, make three gods, or language has lost its meaning entirely.
Just listen to these words again, "I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, saith the Lord, Which Is, and Which Was, and Which Is to Come, the Almighty." This is deity. This is not simply a prophet, a man. This is God. And it is not a revelation of three Gods, but one God, the Almighty. There can only be one All-mighty.
They didn't believe in three Gods in the beginning of the church. You can't find that sort of belief amongst the apostles. It was after the apostolic age that this theory came in and really became an issue and cardinal doctrine at the Nicene Council. The doctrine of the Godhead caused a two-way split at Nicea. And from that split there came two extremes. One actually went into polytheism, believing in three Gods, and the others went into Unitarianism. Of course, that was a little while in coming about, but it did, and we have it right today. But the revelation through John by the spirit to the churches was, "I am the Lord Jesus Christ, and I am ALL of It. There isn't any other God." And He put His seal on the Revelation.
Consider this: Who was the Father of Jesus? Matthew 1:18 says, "She was found with child of the Holy Ghost." But Jesus Himself, claimed that God was His Father. God the Father and God the Holy Ghost, as we often express these terms, make the Father and the Spirit ONE. Indeed they are, or else Jesus had two Fathers. But notice that Jesus said that He and His Father were one—not two. That makes ONE God.
Since this is historically and Scripturally true, people wonder where the three came from. It became a foundational doctrine at the Nicene Council in AD325. This trinity (an absolutely unscriptural word) was based upon the many gods of Rome. The Romans had many gods to whom they prayed. They also prayed to ancestors as mediators. It was just a step to give new names to old gods, so we have saints to make it more Biblical. Thus, instead of Jupiter, Venus, Mars, etc., we have Paul, Peter, Fatima, Christopher etc., etc. They could not make their pagan religion work out with just one god, so they split Him up into three, and they made intercessors of the saints as they had made intercessors of their ancestors.
Ever since then, people have failed to realize that there is one God according to Scripture, but they try to make it the fantastic theory that God is like a bunch of grapes: three persons with the same Divinity shared equally by all. But it plainly says here in Revelation that Jesus is "That Which Is, That Which Was, and That Which Is to Come," He is the "Alpha and Omega," which means He is the "A to Z" or THE ALL OF IT. He is everything—the Almighty. He is the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star, the Righteous Branch, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. He is God, Almighty God. ONE GOD.
I Timothy 3:16 says, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up to Glory." This is what the Bible says. It doesn't say a thing about a first or second or third person here. It says God was manifest in flesh. One God. That One God was manifested in flesh. That ought to settle it. God came in a human form. That didn't make Him ANOTHER GOD. HE WAS GOD, THE SAME GOD. It was a revelation then, and it is a revelation now. One God (ibid. p. 17-19).
— "I will put enmity between thy seed and her Seed" (Genesis 3:15) —
The third and perhaps the most scrutinized of all William Branham's teachings is the truth he restored on the original sin recorded in Genesis 1 – 4.
Genesis 4:1 and 2 begins, "and Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord. And she again bare his brother Abel. . ." Herein, we see Eve's great deception at the birth of her first son. Still believing the Serpent's lie, she actually thought Cain was the beginning of the creation of God, the Savior of mankind. However God acknowledged no direct relationship with Cain and he is from birth an outcast.
His name was to become synonymous with treachery and murder. The next mention of Cain is on this Wise: "But unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect" (Genesis 4:5). Not only was Cain's offering refused, but Cain was himself forbidden an approach that his brother Abel enjoyed. Why was Cain rejected? Also in relation to this—what was the fruit Adam and Eve partook? What role did the serpent play in the fall? What was the serpent seed of Genesis 3:15?
The answer to this mysterious riddle has remained hidden for centuries. Under this prophet's ministry, God has provided the solution:
"Now in the Garden of Eden there were two trees standing in the midst of it. One was the Tree of Life, the other was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Man was to live by the Tree of Life; but he was not to touch the other tree or he would die. But man did partake of the other tree, and when he did, death entered into him by his sin, and he became separated from God.
Some have an idea that the two trees in the garden were just two more trees like unto the rest of those that God had placed there. But careful students know that this is not so. When John the Baptist cried that the ax was laid to the root of all trees, he was not talking of simply natural trees, but of spiritual principles. Now in I John 5:11 it says, "And this is the RECORD, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His son." Jesus said in John 5:40, "And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life." Thus the record, God's Word, states plainly and clearly that LIFE, ETERNAL LIFE, is in the Son. It is no other place. I John 5:12, "He that hath the Son hath LIFE: and he that hath not the Son of God hath NOT Life." Now since the record cannot change, be taken from or added thereunto, then the record stands that THE LIFE IS IN THE SON . . . Since this is so. THE TREE IN THE GARDEN HAS TO BE JESUS.
Alright. If the Tree of Life is a person, then the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is a person ALSO. It can't be otherwise. Thus the Righteous One and the Wicked One stood side by side there in the midst of the Garden of Eden. Ezekiel 28:13a "Thou (Satan) hast been in Eden, the garden of God".
Here is where we receive the true revelation of the "serpent's seed." Here is what really happened in the Garden of Eden. The Word says that Eve was beguiled by the serpent. She was actually seduced by the serpent. It says in Genesis 3:1, "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made." This beast was so close to a human being (and yet was pure animal) that he could reason and talk. He was an upright creature and was somewhere in between a chimpanzee and a man, but closer to a man. He was so close to being a human that his seed could, and did mingle with that of the woman and cause her to conceive. When this happened, God cursed the serpent. He changed every bone in the serpent's body so that he had to crawl like a snake. Science can try all it wants to, and it won't find the missing link. God saw to that. Man is smart and he can see an association of man with animal and he tries to prove it out of evolution. There isn't any evolution. But man and animal did mingle. That's one of the mysteries of God that has remained hidden, but here it is revealed. It happened right back there in the midst of Eden when Eve turned away from Life to accept Death.
Notice what God said to them in the garden. Genesis 3:15, "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed, and it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." If we give credit to the Word that the woman did have a seed then the serpent must have surely had a seed also. If the seed of the woman was a man-child apart from the man, then the seed of the serpent will have to be in the same pattern, and that is, another male must he born apart from human male instrumentality. There is no student who does not know the seed of the woman was the Christ Who came by the instrumentality of God, apart from human intercourse. It is also just as well known that the predicted bruising of the serpent's head was in actuality a prophecy concerning what Christ would accomplish against Satan at the cross. There at the cross, Christ would bruise the head of Satan while Satan would bruise the heel of the Lord.
This portion of Scripture is the revelation of how the literal seed of the serpent was sown in the earth, even as we have the account of Luke 1:26-35, wherein is set forth the exact account of how the seed of the woman came unto physical manifestation apart from the instrumentality of the human male. "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, 'Hail thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women.' And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, 'Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His Name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto Him the Throne of His father David: And He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever: and of His kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, 'How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?' And the angel answered and said unto her, 'The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore also That Holy Thing Which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God'."
As the seed of the woman was literally God reproducing Himself in human flesh, so the seed of the serpent is the literal way that Satan found he was able to open the door to himself into the human race. It was impossible for Satan (for he is only a CREATED spirit-being) to reproduce himself in the manner which God reproduced Himself, so the Genesis account tells how he produced his seed and introduced or injected himself into the human race. Also recall that Satan is called the "serpent." It is his seed or injection into the human race we are speaking of.
Before Adam ever had carnal knowledge of Eve, the serpent had that knowledge ahead of him. And that one born of it was Cain. Cain was of (born of, begotten of) "that Wicked One" (I John 3:12). The Holy Spirit in John could not in one place call Adam the "Wicked One" (for that is what he would be if he fathered Cain) and in another place call Adam the "Son of God" which he was by creation (Luke 3:38). Cain turned out in character like his father, a bringer of death, a murderer. His utter defiance of God when faced by the Almighty in Genesis 4:5, 13-14, show him to be absolutely unhuman-like in characteristics, seeming even to surpass any account we have in Scripture concerning a confrontation of Satan with God. "But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the Lord said unto Cain, 'Where is Abel thy brother?' And he said, 'I know not; Am I my brother's keeper?' And Cain said unto the Lord, 'My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, Thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth: and from Thy face shall I be hid: and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me'."
Notice the exact way the record of God sets forth the account of the births of Cain, Abel and Seth. Genesis 4:1, "And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, 'I have gotten a man from the Lord.' And she again bare his brother Abel." Genesis 4:25, "And Adam knew his wife again and she bare a son, and called his name Seth..." There are THREE sons born from TWO acts of carnal knowledge by Adam. Since the Bible is the exact and perfect Word of God, this is no mistake but a record for our illumination. Since THREE sons were born from TWO acts by Adam, you know POSITIVELY that ONE of those WAS NOT the son of Adam. God has recorded this in this exact manner to show us something. The truth of the matter is that Eve had in her womb TWO sons (twins from SEPARATE impregnations). She was carrying twins, with Cain's conception sometime previous to that of Abel's. TWINS again. Perfect type as always. To those who think that this is not possible, let it be known that the medical records are replete with cases where women have carried twins who were of separate ova and separate insemination with the fertilization of the eggs being days apart, and NOT ONLY SO, but some of the records show that the twins were fathered by separate males. Recently worldwide coverage was given to a Norwegian mother who was suing her husband for support for herself and her twins, one of which was white and the other black. She admitted that she had a Negro lover. The two conceptions were about three weeks apart. In Beaumont, Texas, in 1963, the records again set forth a multiple birth wherein pregnancies were many days apart, in fact so much so the woman almost died along with one child in childbirth (ibid. p. 97-100).
— "If any man hear My voice . . . Behold I stand at the door and knock" (Revelation 3:20) —
Two matters had to be dealt with by the Holy Spirit in order to prepare a Church for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. First, it was imperative to restore the elect to the apostolic faith and correct the doctrinal mishmash created by hundreds of denominations. And there were many revelations of Scripture pertaining to the end-time Bride that had never been clearly taught. The parable of the wheat and tares of Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43; the anti-Christ of II Thessalonians 2:4: the mystery concerning the rapture; the mysteries of the Book of Revelation, and others. This is precisely why a prophetic forerunner, with a vindicated "Thus saith the Lord," was essential. You will notice ONLY the forerunner of Christ's first Coming, John the Baptist, was able to identify the Scriptures such as Isaiah 40:1-3 that were being fulfilled and only he was able to identify the Lamb. So was it in the ministry of this end-time Elijah concerning the multitudes of Scriptures coming to pass in his day!
The second matter concerned the conduct of the people. You will notice that besides rebuking the traditions of the clergy, John also trumpeted a call to repentance and holy living. Today, we find churches have relaxed their standard of holiness to such an extent that the conduct of their people conforms almost completely with that of the world.
In today's evangelical World, the focus has shifted from holiness to finances. The various projects of many internationally famous preachers are costing billions to build and to maintain. One can hardly attend a meeting or turn on a religious broadcast without being accosted repeatedly for huge sums of money to pay for religious resorts, hospitals, broadcasts, colleges, and universities. Adherents are compelled to support real estate empires and worldwide organizational systems.
In addition to this, mixed swimming, scantily clad women, social drinking, smoking, necking and petting among the young people, etc., has become acceptable in the churches.
Jesus identified these days with the days of Lot and Noah. In them, the prevalent sin was sexual promiscuity and finally, total perversion. The word 'unisex' has been widely used to describe the attitudes, styles and appearances of today's men and women. Over the last 20 years, the trend has evolved until now they are literally exchanging roles. Women are cutting their hair, wearing men's garments, demanding equal rights and have forsaken motherhood and home-keeping to pursue their own careers, while men have become morally weak and perverse, growing their hair like women, wearing blouse-like shirts, tight suggestive pants, high heels, and even necklaces and earrings.
The churches, instead of resisting this perverse decline, have succumbed and adopted most of its standards of conduct, dress, music, and entertainment. Consequently God has given them the portion of the unbeliever. Ichabod has been scratched across their ornate portals and God has abandoned them to the harlot system and the irrevocable mark of the Beast (Revelation 13:15-18).
God, however, cannot forsake His predestinated and in spite of this dismal, end-time scenario, He promises "a glorious church not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing" (Ephesians 5:27). Once again, God has prepared an ark for a lovely but tiny end-time Bride. Her final call is twofold. One, "Come out of her (Rome and her daughters) My people" (Revelation 18:4); two, come into Christ (Ephesians 1:10), the Living Word of God. She alone will recognize Christ's forerunner and begin to busily prepare for the great translation; the rest will be swept away by modern so-called revivals into the council of churches and perdition. This truly is the last call—there will not be another. The Jews are in their homeland, the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 has come and gone, his Message is in the hands and hearts of God's people, and the stage is now set for the rapture!
Multitudes of tapes and books of William Branham's sermons have been distributed all over the world. In country after country, God has raised up churches, and thousands, through the still-speaking voice of His prophet (Revelation 10:7), have been delivered from sin, the world and denominationalism to walk according to the Scriptures. If you have been baptized by some organization under the Titles Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, you need to be rebaptized (Acts 19:1-5) in the Name of Jesus Christ. Every Christian must realize that he cannot follow God without following His Word! The evidence of our love for God is measured directly by our love for His commandments (John 14:15) and we can only know Him as we see Him unveiled in His Word. The Laodicean Church Age (Revelation 3:14-22) presents a pitiful picture of Jesus Christ knocking on the outside of the church, not the heart as so many suppose. Notice (Revelation 3:20) the call sounds to the individual, "any man," and not to the Word-rejecting systems. May whoever reads this, heed the Voice of the Bridegroom and join Him on the outside of everything that has to do with man and enter into His perfect Word!
Jesus promised in Matthew 24:45 that His faithful minority at the end of the world who love to do the will of God would be given "meat (spiritual food) in due season." He promised that while He was withdrawing from an apostate world where there would be "a famine for hearing the Word," but that they would have provision and be nourished. Just as Elijah provided meal and oil for the widow of Zarephath, so the Elijah of this final age has been commissioned to leave a "Message" which would carry the Bride through to the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation.
— Appendix 1 — Angels —
The Greek word for "angels" is "messengers." It is used in Scripture to mean mortal men and, less frequently, supernatural beings. In both Luke 7:24 and James 2:25, the word is translated "messengers" and obviously means men.
The following excerpt is from The New Scofield Bible footnote to Hebrews 1:4:
"Angel, summary: Angel, i.e. 'messenger,' is used of God, of men, and of an order of created, spiritual beings whose chief attributes are strength and wisdom (II Samuel 14:20; Psalms 103:20; 104:4). In the Old Testament, the expression "the angel of the Lord" (sometimes "of God") usually implies the presence of Deity in angelic form (Genesis 16:1-13; 21:17-19; 22:11-16; 31:11-13; Exodus 3:2-4; Judges 2:1; 6:12-16; 13:3-22). See Judges 2:1, note cp. Malachi 3:1, note the word "angel" is used of men in Luke 7:24; James 2:25; Revelation 1:20; 2:1, 8, 13, 18; 3:1, 7, 14.
— Appendix 2 — Witnesses —
Oral Roberts: "A humble devout man of God" (Healing Waters, July 1948).
Gordon Lindsay: "Never had we known of any preacher calling deaf mutes and blind people to be prayed for, and then to see those people delivered on the spot—a ministry that was beyond any we had before witnessed" (The House That The Lord Built).
Jack Moore: "The most gifted of all the evangelists (All Things Are Possible, by David Edwin Harrell, Jr).
F. F. BOSWORTH: "When the gift is operating, Bro. Branham is the most sensitive person to the presence and working of the Holy Spirit and to spiritual realities of any person I have ever known (A PROPHET VISITS SOUTH AFRICA, by Julius Stadsklev).
Tommy Osborn: "God has chosen diverse and mysterious ways to reveal Himself to His servants, especially those called for dispensational purposes as was Brother Branham's call" (William Branham's Memorial Service).
"In short, the man we know as William Branham, was sent to demonstrate God again in the flesh" (William Branham's Memorial Service).
"So, He (God) sent forth a particular human vessel surrounded by supernatural signs to attract attention, to make this wayward generation stop and look and ponder and search and think. Thus the halo of Light that appeared at his birth, the star, the angel, the discernment, the gifts, all of these for that purpose. What for? To show us God again. To repeat what He showed us in Jesus Christ when He came in the form of flesh. To remind us one final time. Like Jesus, Brother Branham redemonstrated the very things which made men believe that the true Messiah had come" (William Branham's Memorial Service).
George Ekeroth: "God called this humble man . . . and anointed his ministry to a degree that within a few short years his name was known in the most remote jungle out-station. Wherever you would go in this world you would find that the name of this messenger had preceded you" (Wind Over the 20th Century, by Morris Cerullo).
David Edwin Harrell, Jr: "Most of the participants of the Healing Revival (that erupted in 1947) looked upon Branham as its initiator . . . William Branham became a prophet to a generation . . . Night after night before thousands of awed believers, he discerned the diseases of the sick and pronounced them healed" (All Things Are Possible).
"The power of a Branham service . . . remains a legend unparalleled in the history of the charismatic movement" (All Things Are Possible).
James Morris: "It was Branham, more than any other evangelist, who started the post-World War II fundamental faith healing revival following his encounter with an angel on May 7, 1946" (The Preachers).
"Word radiated in every direction that all manner of diseases and afflictions were healed instantly by the little Indiana preacher. Even cases of raising the dead were published" (The Preachers).
Thomas R. Nickel: "In Bible days, there were men of God who were prophets and seers. But in all the sacred records, none of these had a greater ministry than that of William Branham, a Prophet and Seer of God, whose photograph appears on the front cover of this issue of "Full Gospel Businessman's Voice. Branham has been used by God, in the Name of Jesus, to raise the dead" (Full Gospel Men's Voice, February 1961).
Joseph Mattson Boze: "Sometimes I was scared because of the deep sense of holiness that penetrated the meetings, but I never failed to see the gift of God in operation through His servant and to feel the warmth of love that flowed through his ministry" (The Herald of Faith, February 1966).
— The Message —
The "Message" sent by God through His prophet can change your life and make the Word of God come alive to you. Paul spoke of the Bereans in this manner: "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily whether those things Were so" (Acts 17:11).
Take this Message, consider it, check it out with the Scriptures and let the Lord reveal Himself to you.

And whereas a gemstone mounted on a ring of gold is beautified, Christ alone, the chief corner stone of Sion, Elect and Precious, is exalted and glorified and worshipped. The ONE who forgave all our iniquities, who healed all of our diseases, cast out demons, made cripples and lame to walk, blind to see, deaf and dumb to hear and speak and preached the gospel of peace to the poor.
Day and night there are gun shots, wailing of sirens and all manner of evil; I believe we are experiencing Revelation 22:14-15, 16-17: "Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they might have right to the Tree of Life and may enter in through the gates into the City. For without are dogs (the kind that have infested the Roman Catholic clergy since the fourth century), and sorcerers, and whoremongers and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie."
Then in verse 16: "The Lord said I Jesus have sent My angel (Hallelujah!), to testify these things to you in the churches. I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the Bride say Come . . . (GLORY!) He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen".
O my, the God of Amen said AMEN to His Word—"And I said, Even so, Come LORD JESUS".
Isaiah 64:1 speaks of the mountains flowing down in volcanic eruptions at His Presence. See how His Presence caused one mountain to erupt in Iceland, not an explosion of 35 or 40 of the world's greatest, no, just one eruption and He blew a little puff of that smoke and ash over Europe and shut down air traffic over that continent. And He said, "Surely I come quickly, Amen".
He will show this world, this wicked adulterous, homosexual generation that He was never a second or third person in the Godhead, neither a twin nor a triplet; but that He is GOD. The ONE person of God who said, "I am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and My Name—LORD JESUS CHRIST—is dreadful among the heathen".

'We've found Noah's Ark!'
April 27, 2010 — British scientists say 'show us your evidence.' Even so, the explorers who say they found seven large wooden compartments beneath snow and volcanic debris near the peak of Mount Ararat can be forgiven their excitement. 'It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark, but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it,' said Yeung Wing-cheung, a filmmaker working with the 15-strong team of fundamentalist Christians exploring the Turkish mountain. This picture released by the evangelical group claims to show one of the explorers examining part of a structure they claim might prove the existence of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat.
There are no external images of the site and the Hong Kong-based group refuse to say precisely where they made their discovery until the Turkish government designate it an archaeological site. They said wood taken from the site, which is more than 13,000ft above sea level, dates to 2,800BC. If it is the ark, the discovery would be the greatest in the history of archaeology and bear out one of the most famous stories in the Bible. The team of Turks and Chinese researchers from Noah's Ark Ministries International in Hong Kong say they made the discovery on Ararat—the biblical resting place of the ark—in October. At a press conference yesterday to announce the discovery, another team member, Panda Lee, said: 'I saw a structure built with plank-like timber. Each plank was about eight inches wide. I could see tenons, proof of ancient construction predating the use of metal nails. We walked about 100 metres to another site. I could see broken wood fragments embedded in a glacier, and some 20 metres long.' The structure had several compartments, some with wooden beams, the team said. The wooden walls of one compartment were smooth and curved while the video shown by the explorers revealed doors, staircases and nails. . .

ETS goes down with Goldman Sucks
April 28, 2010 — Five months ago Australia's glib-tongued Prime Minister proclaimed the so-called "climate change" HOAX and SCAM of the international bankster's "the greatest moral challenge of our time"! It is in fact the greatest amoral challenge of our time, sucking $800 million p. a. on climate change research and more on carbon geo-sequestration. And every state has its own bloated climate change and energy bureaucracies.
Remember, Goldman Sucks is the financial power behind carbon trading worldwide:
Goldman owns 10 per cent of Al Gore's Chicago carbon exchange;
Al Gore's partners in his Generation Investment Management hedge fund in London are all former Goldman Sachs executives—David Blood, Mark Ferguson and Peter Harris;
Malcolm Turnbull, the man who almost delivered the ETS, by cutting a deal with Rudd without his party's support, is Goldman Sachs' main man in Australia.
In "The Great American Bubble Machine" published in the July 2009 edition of Rolling Stone magazine, author Matt Taibbi characterized Goldman Sachs as "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."
"The formula is relatively simple: Goldman positions itself in the middle of a speculative bubble, selling investments they know are crap.—They've been pulling this same stunt over and over since the 1920s—and now they're preparing to do it again, creating what may be the biggest and most audacious bubble yet.—the new game in town, the next bubble, is in carbon credits—a groundbreaking new commodities bubble, disguised as an 'environmental plan,' called cap-and-trade. The new carbon-credit market is a virtual repeat of the commodities-market casino that's been kind to Goldman, except it has one delicious new wrinkle: If the plan goes forward as expected, the rise in prices will be government-mandated. Goldman won't even have to rig the game. It will be rigged in advance."
The ETS was always a scam, an attempt to create a new global derivatives bubble on a trade in thin air, to replace the derivatives bubbles on real estate and stocks that are imploding. . . "If Rudd and Wong dropped the ETS because they were afraid of being drawn into another Goldman Sachs fraud, that's good. While they are at it, they should drop all the other financial system frauds which their policies are aiding and abetting—such as the privatisation of public assets and the private construction of infrastructure, which funnels money into banks like Rothschild and Macquarie, or the government manipulation of the property market, through tax breaks, grants and direct investment, which is driving up property prices to support the faked balance sheets of Australia's major banks."

Financial Reform: the Final Con Game
April 26, 2010 — There are those who have been talking about a single global regulator for years and as a result of the 2008 Credit Crisis, there have been calls to protect you and me from future banking crises through new financial reform. However, we had better consider its real impact. It is not about protecting you and me it is about changing the national regulatory laws of America to conform to a world governmental system and globalizing the last barrier separating individual nation-states. It is about a major power grab of America's financial assets.
Hank Paulson, our second treasury secretary from Wall Street, had issued his "Blueprint for a Modernized Financial Regulatory System" in March, 2008. It called for a total revamping of all of America's assets that were not under control of the Federal Reserve: the entire mortgage industry, banks that were not regulated by the Fed, credit unions, state chartered thrifts, and the insurance industry. The Fed was at the center of all the newly proposed commissions. In other words, a total take over of financial assets not under their control was at stake.
Is anyone putting two plus two together? The Federal Reserve is a private corporation so they do not issue an annual report and no one knows who their shareholders are. This company controls the entire monetary system of the United States which means they create the ups and the downs in the stock market and business cycle. They control credit. If they want to destroy the small businessman, they just stop issuing credit—like they are doing now. The Paulson Blueprint was blatant about them seizing control over all the other major financial assets they don't control. . .
Through the enlarged structure of the Bank for International Settlements and the newly restructured and empowered global regulatory agency, the Financial Stability Board, all of the world's assets are being shifted to a place where they are fair game for central bankers. All you have to do is study the arrangements on the national and global level. This is the con game of all the centuries—it is a colossal robbery of our nation and people.

Can the US beat Israel at their Game?
April 26, 2010 — In December 1948, Albert Einstein and 27 other concerned Jews urged us "not to support this latest manifestation of fascism". . .
Well-planned provocations have long been Tel Aviv's core competence. For a skilled agent provocateur, an anticipated reaction can become a powerful weapon in the arsenal of the provocateur. In response to a mass murder on American soil, even a moderately competent game theorist could foresee that the US would dispatch its military to avenge that attack.
With phony intelligence "fixed" around a preset goal, a game-theory algorithm could predict that our military could be redirected to invade Iraq, a nation that played no role in the attack. Therein lies the game theory-enabled treachery imbedded at the core of this duplicitous relationship.
Happily, our national security apparatus now comprehends the "how" of this non-transparent treason. Concern at its common source is rampant in senior military ranks. Israel and pro-Israelis have been confirmed as those who fixed the intelligence that took us to war on false pretenses. Those "in the know" now grasp that Truman's recognition of this enclave was part of a multi-decade fraud that remains ongoing as Israel seeks to induce us into Iran and even Pakistan.
No one likes to be played for the fool. Yet that's how Israel treated all those it befriended. That includes not only other nations but also those in the broader faith communities deceived to believe they share an identity of interest with this "latest manifestation of fascism." Intelligence agencies are fast coming to recognize the shared mindset of those who prey on the goodwill and trust of others. Their distrust of the US is now morphing into sympathy and pity. . .
Given every opportunity to conduct its affairs consistent with international law and standards of human decency, this extremist enclave chose another course. As both an enabler and a target of these religious extremists, the US has a special obligation to take the lead in withdrawing recognition and securing the nuclear arsenal now under Israeli control.
Further delay only heightens the probability of another agent provocateur operation on a scale of 9/11—doubtless featuring yet another evidentiary trail that points to "Islamo" fascists. With more than 80% of the US Congress declaring an "unbreakable bond" with Israel, Americans face a perilous future in which we need help from other nations to pressure our leaders to act promptly.
We were warned more than six decades ago. Now is the time to heed that warning. Full story: rebelnews.org

Is Israel Wiretapping America?
April 20, 2010 — It's bad enough that the government can listen to you whenever they want. There is an even more troubling side to this Orwellian reality. Israeli companies are wiretapping America. Authorized by our government, they are doing the actual work of listening to and recording the phone, email, and internet communications of at least 100 nations, including America. . . America's largest telecom companies, AT&T and Verizon, have outsourced the job of eavesdropping through their networks, which carry billions of American communications daily, in cooperation with the National Security Agency's (NSA) surveillance program. The spy job for these major companies was outsourced "to two mysterious companies with very troubling foreign connections."
AT&T uses a company called Narus to keep records of everything said on their systems. Narus was founded by an Israeli entrepreneur in Israel with ties to Unit 800 (the NSA of Israel). Verizon's spy system also relies on an Israeli company named Verint. The founder of Verint is an FBI fugitive who remains so. Congress granted retroactive immunity to these companies (AT&T and Verizon) for allowing their systems to be used to spy on American citizens. Stated plainly, American consumers are subject to warrantless surveillance by Israeli-founded companies without Congressional oversight or public knowledge! . . . an "Israeli spin-off" of Verint is able to do "advanced voice-mining" that finds one person's voice in a mountain of intercepted calls. . . much of their bugging equipment is now secretly hardwired into the American telecommunications system.' . .
The time must come, and soon, that Americans realize that the "bonds of loyalty" between America and Israel should long ago have stretched to breaking. Such bonds. . . could actually become the chains of our destruction.

Plan for Freedom
April 22, 2010 — In a recent article, radio talk-show host, columnist for the Washington Times and president of the Edmund Burke Institute, Jeffrey Kuhner, asks the question, "Will America break up?" Kuhner is not the only intelligent and reasonable person asking this question and predicting its reality. Igor Panarin, a professor at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian foreign affairs ministry, predicts that given the way the federal government handles its finances and given the unrecoverable deficit of the US, the US is undoubtedly bound for "extinction in its present form," not even mentioning the political, cultural, religious, moral and foreign-entanglement turmoil of the US. . .
Human nature and experience prove that as a body of people or states regard their God-given freedom and rights as stolen or trampled and as 'peaceful' political process effects no restoration of those freedoms and rights for generations, 'breakup' is not only inevitable, it is necessary. America's founders believed the same: "[I]n the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands."
Do not be deceived into thinking that this necessity will not occur, is impractical or is foolish. The course of events in the United States has proven one thing: the federal government is out of control and has been for generations. . . We the People of the States should not simple-mindedly and passively wait for a 'collapse' of the US, as if our existence consists of nothing more than being cattle, wondering if we are going to the slaughter today or tomorrow. . .

Comment: Rome will not permit a break-up as it needs the blooded US military. Once the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and elsewhere has brought the world to its knees, Rome will refinance the US dollar with gold backing; her then Devil-incarnate pope will control the world. But when Rome and the USA have served their utility, they will be 'nuked' from the surface of the earth by the 'hidden hand' behind Judaeo-Communist Russia.

Behind Arizona Immigration Law: GOP Game to Swipe November Election
April 26, 2010 — Don't be fooled. The way the media plays the story, it was a wave of racist, anti-immigrant hysteria that moved Arizona Republicans to pass a sick little law, signed last week, requiring every person in the state to carry papers proving they are US citizens. I don't buy it. Anti-Hispanic hysteria has always been as much a part of Arizona as the saguaro cactus and excessive air-conditioning.
What's new here is not the politicians' fear of a xenophobic "Teabag" uprising. What moved GOP Governor Jan Brewer to sign the Soviet-style show-me-your-papers law is the exploding number of legal Hispanics, US citizens all, who are daring to vote—and daring to vote Democratic by more than two-to-one. Unless this demographic locomotive is halted, Arizona Republicans know their party will soon be electoral toast. Or, if you like, tortillas. Full story: truthout.org

April 26, 2010 — "This study was just routine," said Russian biologist Alexey V. Surov, in what could end up as the understatement of this century. Surov and his colleagues set out to discover if Monsanto's genetically modified (GM) soy, grown on 91% of US soybean fields, leads to problems in growth or reproduction. What he discovered may uproot a multi-billion dollar industry.
After feeding hamsters for two years over three generations, those on the GM diet, and especially the group on the maximum GM soy diet, showed devastating results. By the third generation, most GM soy-fed hamsters lost the ability to have babies. They also suffered slower growth, and a high mortality rate among the pups.
And if this isn't shocking enough, some in the third generation even had hair growing inside their mouths—a phenomenon rarely seen, but apparently more prevalent among hamsters eating GM soy. . . Full story: newswithviews.com
Comment: Eugenics, dysgenics, and depopulation. The US Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday in its first-ever case involving genetically modified crops. The decision in this case may have a significant impact on both the future of genetically modified foods and government oversight of that and other environmental issues. . . Full story: truthout.org

I Will Restore Saith the Lord
— "In vain do they worship Me" —
Jesus Christ infuriated many of His Jewish listeners by informing them that Talmudic Judaism, the religion they so devoutly followed, was unacceptable to God. The reason for this startling denunciation was simply, "they taught for doctrines the commandments of men" (Mark 7:7). Over the years, they had introduced many traditions, interpretations and even laws which were not given by God and not a part of Holy Scripture. The average Israelite, reared under this mixture of Divine Law and human commandment, trusted the ministry and accepted it without question when it is in fact the antithesis of God's unchanging Word. The main promulgators of this tepid stew were the zealous denominations known as the Scribes and Pharisees. The Scribes were the Pharisee teachers of the Law of Moses, carefully distorted to comprise the Talmud: "There is greater stringency in respect to the teachings of the Scribes than in respect to the Torah—so that a Biblical law may be transgressed" (Sanhedrin 88b). Though unnoticed by the general public who were content with a second-hand religion, their heresy was foremost in the eyes of Jesus Who indicted them for altering God's immutable Word and thereby closing heaven, not only to themselves, but to all those who listened to and trusted in them (Matthew 23:13).
The Gentile church world William Branham stepped into, had drifted into the same unholy mixture. They had the Word of God from which preachers drew their sermon texts. But overall the people had adopted an extremely lax attitude with respect to the authority and precision of Scripture. They ignored the admonition of "those noble Bereans" (Acts 17:11), taking it upon themselves to define major and minor doctrines, choosing which parts of God's Word are relevant and which no longer applied, placing complete trust in the interpretations of their particular denomination which became the ultimate arbiter on Scriptural issues. Consequently, permeating every church and interwoven with every church creed, was a collection of sayings, traditions and misinterpretations built upon the original apostatizing in the fourth century AD. No denomination was innocent in this regard and no denomination is capable of repenting because it is governed by organization and program, not led of the Spirit. Thus individual, repentance would ultimately mean leaving the systems of man behind, in the same way as the followers of Jesus had to bid farewell to their beloved Judaism.
Revelation 17 and 18 teach us that by the time of the Lord's second or 'parousia' Coming, the true enemy of the Gospel is a powerful world church called the Great Harlot, Mystery Babylon, and the Mother of Harlots. She and her adulterous daughters are seen to have formed into a vast system, able to control politics, religion and commerce. This is the destiny of every man-made denomination which, like the first or mother church, vaunt their word above the Word of God. Such will be the momentary splendor of Rome and her (once) Protestant denominational daughters from which God will separate a true Word Bride so She can unite with her Word Groom.
I have selected three of the doctrines William Branham taught which serve to illustrate why it was essential for God to anoint this restoration ministry.
— "Unto what were you baptized?" (Acts 19:3) —
It is evident that sprinkling and infant baptism have no Scriptural foundation, but there is another even more prevalent error that has gone largely unchecked for centuries. The great majority of Christian churches, baptize using the Titles, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, believing they are obeying the commandment of Jesus in Matthew 28:19. They overlook the majestic truth expressed by the prophet Isaiah when he foretold that a Son would be born Who would have ONE (1) glorious Name that would embody all of the Titles and manifestations of God. "For unto us a Son is born, unto us a child is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be CALLED (not is), Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." The disciples to whom this commission was given had the revelation that the NAME (singular) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost was none other than LORD JESUS CHRIST. Consequently, every recorded baptism was done in that Name (Acts 2:38; 8:16; 10:48; 19:5).
Even secular history has no record of water baptism in three Titles until the time of the First Nicea Council. And according to page 59 of the New Catholic Encyclopaedia it was not until about 1100 that the false baptism in three Titles was adopted by the majority of the churches (at the point of a sword). (For more on water baptism see One God or Trinity).
In one of the many places William Branham expressed this truth, he said as follows:
"I admit that it takes a real revelation from the Holy Ghost to see the truth about the Godhead these days when we are in the midst of the perverting of so much Scripture. But the prevailing, overcoming church is built on revelation so we can expect God to reveal His truth to us. However, you actually don't need a revelation on water baptism. It is right there staring you in the face. Would it be possible for one minute for the apostles to be led astray from a direct command of the Lord to baptize in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost and then find them in willful disobedience? They knew what the Name was, and there is not one place in Scripture where they baptized any other way than in the Name of Lord Jesus Christ. Common sense would tell you that the Book of Acts is the church in action, and if they baptized that way, then that is the way to baptize. Now if you think that is strong, what do you think of this? Anyone who was not baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus had to be baptized over again.
Acts 19:1-6, "And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples He said unto them, "Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?" And they said unto him, "We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And He said unto them, "Unto what then were ye baptized?" And they said, "Unto John's baptism." Then said Paul, "John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on Him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them and they spake with tongues and prophesied." There it is. These good people at Ephesus had heard about the coming Messiah. John had preached Him. They were baptized unto repentance of sins, looking forward to believing on Jesus. But now it was time to look back to Jesus and be baptized unto remission of sins. It was time to receive the Holy Ghost. And when they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Paul laid his hands on them and the Holy Ghost came upon them.
Oh, those dear folks at Ephesus were fine people; and if any one had a right to feel secure, they did. Notice how far they had come. They had come all the way up to accepting the coming Messiah. They were ready for Him. But don't you see that in spite of that they had missed Him? He had come and gone. They needed to be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. They needed to be filled with the Holy Ghost.
If you have been baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, God will fill you with His Spirit. That is the Word. Acts 19:6 which we read was the fulfilling of Acts 2:38, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost." See, Paul, by the Holy Ghost, said exactly what Peter said by the Holy Ghost. And what was said cannot be changed. It has to be the same from Pentecost until the very last elected one has been baptized. Galatians 1:8, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 26-27).
— ". . . The LORD our God is One Lord" (Mark 12:29) —
Directly associated with the understanding on water baptism is the truth about the Godhead. The churches "traditionally" believe in three separate or distinct persons in one God. This was the result of a misinterpretation of Scripture which mentions the deity of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost incorporated in a Trinitarian definition at the Hegelian dialectic of the fourth century meeting of the First Nicea Council.
Like the false so-called "baptismal formula," this "new" concept (with the help of armed might), swept Christendom, and over the centuries has become so embedded in Christian thought that to question its validity is tantamount to heresy.
The church lost the revelation that the one God, Jehovah, expressed Himself in the Old Testament as the Father, manifested Himself in the Gospels in the Son, Jesus, and revealed Himself in the Book of Acts as the Holy Spirit. In reality, it is three dispensations of the same God—God above us—God with us—God in us, NOT three persons, but one glorious Person finally and wonderfully unveiled (Hebrews 1:3).
The heathen intellectual minds of the theologians could not reconcile the appearance of the Son on earth to the Father remaining in heaven. Forgetting that God can be in heaven whilst at the same time manifesting Himself on earth (John 14:10), they decided there had to be at least two in the Godhead and the entrance of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 made it three. They made the Son the second person of this Godhead, failing to realize that the Scriptures do not teach that Jesus is in the Godhead, rather that the Godhead is in Jesus. "For in Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily" (Colossians 2:9). They could only see that the Father was a God and the Son was a God and missed the true concept that the Father was God and the Son was the flesh or Man in Whom that God dwelt to redeem Adam's fallen race and the beginning of God creating or unfolding Himself in the form of His Family—the New Testament saints in whom He will dwell and be worshipped through eternity (Luke 1:35; I Timothy 3:16; Revelation 3:14).
The ensuing three-personned deity is every bit as much a form of idolatry as were the various pagan gods the children of Israel would consistently begin to worship.
Through the ages, Bible Truth became increasingly obscured by ignorance and superstition forced upon what was once the Empire of Imperial Rome by a new mistress, the Roman Catholic church. Such was her power, kings submitted to her outrageous demands, and laity were forbidden to read the Bible on pain of excommunication or death. By her own records, and history she martyred over 68 million Christians during almost a thousand years of "Dark Ages" which ensued, many by unspeakable torture.
Because the faith was thus lost, God "winked" at the ignorance of the saints during the Church Ages, provided they walked in the Light of the present Truth as it was restored. The ministry of the last angel was to fully restore the true understanding or faith (including the Godhead and water baptism) to the elect. (For more on the Godhead, see The Uniqueness of The Son of God).
I have selected some comments made by Brother Branham in his series on the Seven Church Ages:
"Now all these expressions, 'Him Which Is,' and 'Him Which Was,' and 'Is to Come,' and 'Faithful Witness,' and 'Firstborn from among the Dead,' and 'Prince of the Kings of the Earth,' and 'The Alpha and Omega,' and 'The Almighty,' are titles and descriptions of one and the same person, Who is the Lord Jesus Christ, Who washed us from our sins in His own blood.
The Spirit of God in John expressed thusly in order to set forth the supreme deity of Jesus Christ and to reveal the Godhead as ONE God. Today there is a gross error. It is that there are three gods instead of one. Thus, revelation as given to John by Jesus, Himself corrects that error. It is not that there are three Gods, but one God with three major offices or dispensation claims with the Titles, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. This mighty revelation is what the early church had, and it must he restored in this last day along with the correct formula of water baptism.
Now modern theologians won't agree with me for here is what was written in a great Christian magazine. "That teaching (on the Trinity) is at the very heart and core of the Old Testament. The New Testament is just as much opposed as the Old Testament is to the thought that there are more gods than one. Yet the New Testament with equal clearness teaches that the Father is God, and the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and that these three are NOT three aspects of the same Person, but three persons standing in a truly personal relationship to one another." There we have the great doctrine of the Three Persons but one God."
They also state, "God, according to the Bible, is just one person, but He is three persons in one God. That is the great mystery of the Trinity".
It sure is. How can three persons be in one God? Not only is there no Bible for it, but it shows even a lack of intelligent reasoning. Three distinct persons, though identical substances, make three gods, or language has lost its meaning entirely.
Just listen to these words again, "I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, saith the Lord, Which Is, and Which Was, and Which Is to Come, the Almighty." This is deity. This is not simply a prophet, a man. This is God. And it is not a revelation of three Gods, but one God, the Almighty. There can only be one All-mighty.
They didn't believe in three Gods in the beginning of the church. You can't find that sort of belief amongst the apostles. It was after the apostolic age that this theory came in and really became an issue and cardinal doctrine at the Nicene Council. The doctrine of the Godhead caused a two-way split at Nicea. And from that split there came two extremes. One actually went into polytheism, believing in three Gods, and the others went into Unitarianism. Of course, that was a little while in coming about, but it did, and we have it right today. But the revelation through John by the spirit to the churches was, "I am the Lord Jesus Christ, and I am ALL of It. There isn't any other God." And He put His seal on the Revelation.
Consider this: Who was the Father of Jesus? Matthew 1:18 says, "She was found with child of the Holy Ghost." But Jesus Himself, claimed that God was His Father. God the Father and God the Holy Ghost, as we often express these terms, make the Father and the Spirit ONE. Indeed they are, or else Jesus had two Fathers. But notice that Jesus said that He and His Father were one—not two. That makes ONE God.
Since this is historically and Scripturally true, people wonder where the three came from. It became a foundational doctrine at the Nicene Council in AD325. This trinity (an absolutely unscriptural word) was based upon the many gods of Rome. The Romans had many gods to whom they prayed. They also prayed to ancestors as mediators. It was just a step to give new names to old gods, so we have saints to make it more Biblical. Thus, instead of Jupiter, Venus, Mars, etc., we have Paul, Peter, Fatima, Christopher etc., etc. They could not make their pagan religion work out with just one god, so they split Him up into three, and they made intercessors of the saints as they had made intercessors of their ancestors.
Ever since then, people have failed to realize that there is one God according to Scripture, but they try to make it the fantastic theory that God is like a bunch of grapes: three persons with the same Divinity shared equally by all. But it plainly says here in Revelation that Jesus is "That Which Is, That Which Was, and That Which Is to Come," He is the "Alpha and Omega," which means He is the "A to Z" or THE ALL OF IT. He is everything—the Almighty. He is the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star, the Righteous Branch, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. He is God, Almighty God. ONE GOD.
I Timothy 3:16 says, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up to Glory." This is what the Bible says. It doesn't say a thing about a first or second or third person here. It says God was manifest in flesh. One God. That One God was manifested in flesh. That ought to settle it. God came in a human form. That didn't make Him ANOTHER GOD. HE WAS GOD, THE SAME GOD. It was a revelation then, and it is a revelation now. One God (ibid. p. 17-19).
— "I will put enmity between thy seed and her Seed" (Genesis 3:15) —
The third and perhaps the most scrutinized of all William Branham's teachings is the truth he restored on the original sin recorded in Genesis 1 – 4.
Genesis 4:1 and 2 begins, "and Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord. And she again bare his brother Abel. . ." Herein, we see Eve's great deception at the birth of her first son. Still believing the Serpent's lie, she actually thought Cain was the beginning of the creation of God, the Savior of mankind. However God acknowledged no direct relationship with Cain and he is from birth an outcast.
His name was to become synonymous with treachery and murder. The next mention of Cain is on this Wise: "But unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect" (Genesis 4:5). Not only was Cain's offering refused, but Cain was himself forbidden an approach that his brother Abel enjoyed. Why was Cain rejected? Also in relation to this—what was the fruit Adam and Eve partook? What role did the serpent play in the fall? What was the serpent seed of Genesis 3:15?
The answer to this mysterious riddle has remained hidden for centuries. Under this prophet's ministry, God has provided the solution:
"Now in the Garden of Eden there were two trees standing in the midst of it. One was the Tree of Life, the other was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Man was to live by the Tree of Life; but he was not to touch the other tree or he would die. But man did partake of the other tree, and when he did, death entered into him by his sin, and he became separated from God.
Some have an idea that the two trees in the garden were just two more trees like unto the rest of those that God had placed there. But careful students know that this is not so. When John the Baptist cried that the ax was laid to the root of all trees, he was not talking of simply natural trees, but of spiritual principles. Now in I John 5:11 it says, "And this is the RECORD, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His son." Jesus said in John 5:40, "And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life." Thus the record, God's Word, states plainly and clearly that LIFE, ETERNAL LIFE, is in the Son. It is no other place. I John 5:12, "He that hath the Son hath LIFE: and he that hath not the Son of God hath NOT Life." Now since the record cannot change, be taken from or added thereunto, then the record stands that THE LIFE IS IN THE SON . . . Since this is so. THE TREE IN THE GARDEN HAS TO BE JESUS.
Alright. If the Tree of Life is a person, then the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is a person ALSO. It can't be otherwise. Thus the Righteous One and the Wicked One stood side by side there in the midst of the Garden of Eden. Ezekiel 28:13a "Thou (Satan) hast been in Eden, the garden of God".
Here is where we receive the true revelation of the "serpent's seed." Here is what really happened in the Garden of Eden. The Word says that Eve was beguiled by the serpent. She was actually seduced by the serpent. It says in Genesis 3:1, "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made." This beast was so close to a human being (and yet was pure animal) that he could reason and talk. He was an upright creature and was somewhere in between a chimpanzee and a man, but closer to a man. He was so close to being a human that his seed could, and did mingle with that of the woman and cause her to conceive. When this happened, God cursed the serpent. He changed every bone in the serpent's body so that he had to crawl like a snake. Science can try all it wants to, and it won't find the missing link. God saw to that. Man is smart and he can see an association of man with animal and he tries to prove it out of evolution. There isn't any evolution. But man and animal did mingle. That's one of the mysteries of God that has remained hidden, but here it is revealed. It happened right back there in the midst of Eden when Eve turned away from Life to accept Death.
Notice what God said to them in the garden. Genesis 3:15, "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed, and it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." If we give credit to the Word that the woman did have a seed then the serpent must have surely had a seed also. If the seed of the woman was a man-child apart from the man, then the seed of the serpent will have to be in the same pattern, and that is, another male must he born apart from human male instrumentality. There is no student who does not know the seed of the woman was the Christ Who came by the instrumentality of God, apart from human intercourse. It is also just as well known that the predicted bruising of the serpent's head was in actuality a prophecy concerning what Christ would accomplish against Satan at the cross. There at the cross, Christ would bruise the head of Satan while Satan would bruise the heel of the Lord.
This portion of Scripture is the revelation of how the literal seed of the serpent was sown in the earth, even as we have the account of Luke 1:26-35, wherein is set forth the exact account of how the seed of the woman came unto physical manifestation apart from the instrumentality of the human male. "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, 'Hail thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women.' And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, 'Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His Name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto Him the Throne of His father David: And He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever: and of His kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, 'How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?' And the angel answered and said unto her, 'The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore also That Holy Thing Which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God'."
As the seed of the woman was literally God reproducing Himself in human flesh, so the seed of the serpent is the literal way that Satan found he was able to open the door to himself into the human race. It was impossible for Satan (for he is only a CREATED spirit-being) to reproduce himself in the manner which God reproduced Himself, so the Genesis account tells how he produced his seed and introduced or injected himself into the human race. Also recall that Satan is called the "serpent." It is his seed or injection into the human race we are speaking of.
Before Adam ever had carnal knowledge of Eve, the serpent had that knowledge ahead of him. And that one born of it was Cain. Cain was of (born of, begotten of) "that Wicked One" (I John 3:12). The Holy Spirit in John could not in one place call Adam the "Wicked One" (for that is what he would be if he fathered Cain) and in another place call Adam the "Son of God" which he was by creation (Luke 3:38). Cain turned out in character like his father, a bringer of death, a murderer. His utter defiance of God when faced by the Almighty in Genesis 4:5, 13-14, show him to be absolutely unhuman-like in characteristics, seeming even to surpass any account we have in Scripture concerning a confrontation of Satan with God. "But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the Lord said unto Cain, 'Where is Abel thy brother?' And he said, 'I know not; Am I my brother's keeper?' And Cain said unto the Lord, 'My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, Thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth: and from Thy face shall I be hid: and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me'."
Notice the exact way the record of God sets forth the account of the births of Cain, Abel and Seth. Genesis 4:1, "And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, 'I have gotten a man from the Lord.' And she again bare his brother Abel." Genesis 4:25, "And Adam knew his wife again and she bare a son, and called his name Seth..." There are THREE sons born from TWO acts of carnal knowledge by Adam. Since the Bible is the exact and perfect Word of God, this is no mistake but a record for our illumination. Since THREE sons were born from TWO acts by Adam, you know POSITIVELY that ONE of those WAS NOT the son of Adam. God has recorded this in this exact manner to show us something. The truth of the matter is that Eve had in her womb TWO sons (twins from SEPARATE impregnations). She was carrying twins, with Cain's conception sometime previous to that of Abel's. TWINS again. Perfect type as always. To those who think that this is not possible, let it be known that the medical records are replete with cases where women have carried twins who were of separate ova and separate insemination with the fertilization of the eggs being days apart, and NOT ONLY SO, but some of the records show that the twins were fathered by separate males. Recently worldwide coverage was given to a Norwegian mother who was suing her husband for support for herself and her twins, one of which was white and the other black. She admitted that she had a Negro lover. The two conceptions were about three weeks apart. In Beaumont, Texas, in 1963, the records again set forth a multiple birth wherein pregnancies were many days apart, in fact so much so the woman almost died along with one child in childbirth (ibid. p. 97-100).
— "If any man hear My voice . . . Behold I stand at the door and knock" (Revelation 3:20) —
Two matters had to be dealt with by the Holy Spirit in order to prepare a Church for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. First, it was imperative to restore the elect to the apostolic faith and correct the doctrinal mishmash created by hundreds of denominations. And there were many revelations of Scripture pertaining to the end-time Bride that had never been clearly taught. The parable of the wheat and tares of Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43; the anti-Christ of II Thessalonians 2:4: the mystery concerning the rapture; the mysteries of the Book of Revelation, and others. This is precisely why a prophetic forerunner, with a vindicated "Thus saith the Lord," was essential. You will notice ONLY the forerunner of Christ's first Coming, John the Baptist, was able to identify the Scriptures such as Isaiah 40:1-3 that were being fulfilled and only he was able to identify the Lamb. So was it in the ministry of this end-time Elijah concerning the multitudes of Scriptures coming to pass in his day!
The second matter concerned the conduct of the people. You will notice that besides rebuking the traditions of the clergy, John also trumpeted a call to repentance and holy living. Today, we find churches have relaxed their standard of holiness to such an extent that the conduct of their people conforms almost completely with that of the world.
In today's evangelical World, the focus has shifted from holiness to finances. The various projects of many internationally famous preachers are costing billions to build and to maintain. One can hardly attend a meeting or turn on a religious broadcast without being accosted repeatedly for huge sums of money to pay for religious resorts, hospitals, broadcasts, colleges, and universities. Adherents are compelled to support real estate empires and worldwide organizational systems.
In addition to this, mixed swimming, scantily clad women, social drinking, smoking, necking and petting among the young people, etc., has become acceptable in the churches.
Jesus identified these days with the days of Lot and Noah. In them, the prevalent sin was sexual promiscuity and finally, total perversion. The word 'unisex' has been widely used to describe the attitudes, styles and appearances of today's men and women. Over the last 20 years, the trend has evolved until now they are literally exchanging roles. Women are cutting their hair, wearing men's garments, demanding equal rights and have forsaken motherhood and home-keeping to pursue their own careers, while men have become morally weak and perverse, growing their hair like women, wearing blouse-like shirts, tight suggestive pants, high heels, and even necklaces and earrings.
The churches, instead of resisting this perverse decline, have succumbed and adopted most of its standards of conduct, dress, music, and entertainment. Consequently God has given them the portion of the unbeliever. Ichabod has been scratched across their ornate portals and God has abandoned them to the harlot system and the irrevocable mark of the Beast (Revelation 13:15-18).
God, however, cannot forsake His predestinated and in spite of this dismal, end-time scenario, He promises "a glorious church not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing" (Ephesians 5:27). Once again, God has prepared an ark for a lovely but tiny end-time Bride. Her final call is twofold. One, "Come out of her (Rome and her daughters) My people" (Revelation 18:4); two, come into Christ (Ephesians 1:10), the Living Word of God. She alone will recognize Christ's forerunner and begin to busily prepare for the great translation; the rest will be swept away by modern so-called revivals into the council of churches and perdition. This truly is the last call—there will not be another. The Jews are in their homeland, the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 has come and gone, his Message is in the hands and hearts of God's people, and the stage is now set for the rapture!
Multitudes of tapes and books of William Branham's sermons have been distributed all over the world. In country after country, God has raised up churches, and thousands, through the still-speaking voice of His prophet (Revelation 10:7), have been delivered from sin, the world and denominationalism to walk according to the Scriptures. If you have been baptized by some organization under the Titles Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, you need to be rebaptized (Acts 19:1-5) in the Name of Jesus Christ. Every Christian must realize that he cannot follow God without following His Word! The evidence of our love for God is measured directly by our love for His commandments (John 14:15) and we can only know Him as we see Him unveiled in His Word. The Laodicean Church Age (Revelation 3:14-22) presents a pitiful picture of Jesus Christ knocking on the outside of the church, not the heart as so many suppose. Notice (Revelation 3:20) the call sounds to the individual, "any man," and not to the Word-rejecting systems. May whoever reads this, heed the Voice of the Bridegroom and join Him on the outside of everything that has to do with man and enter into His perfect Word!
Jesus promised in Matthew 24:45 that His faithful minority at the end of the world who love to do the will of God would be given "meat (spiritual food) in due season." He promised that while He was withdrawing from an apostate world where there would be "a famine for hearing the Word," but that they would have provision and be nourished. Just as Elijah provided meal and oil for the widow of Zarephath, so the Elijah of this final age has been commissioned to leave a "Message" which would carry the Bride through to the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation.
— Appendix 1 — Angels —
The Greek word for "angels" is "messengers." It is used in Scripture to mean mortal men and, less frequently, supernatural beings. In both Luke 7:24 and James 2:25, the word is translated "messengers" and obviously means men.
The following excerpt is from The New Scofield Bible footnote to Hebrews 1:4:
"Angel, summary: Angel, i.e. 'messenger,' is used of God, of men, and of an order of created, spiritual beings whose chief attributes are strength and wisdom (II Samuel 14:20; Psalms 103:20; 104:4). In the Old Testament, the expression "the angel of the Lord" (sometimes "of God") usually implies the presence of Deity in angelic form (Genesis 16:1-13; 21:17-19; 22:11-16; 31:11-13; Exodus 3:2-4; Judges 2:1; 6:12-16; 13:3-22). See Judges 2:1, note cp. Malachi 3:1, note the word "angel" is used of men in Luke 7:24; James 2:25; Revelation 1:20; 2:1, 8, 13, 18; 3:1, 7, 14.

Oral Roberts: "A humble devout man of God" (Healing Waters, July 1948).
Gordon Lindsay: "Never had we known of any preacher calling deaf mutes and blind people to be prayed for, and then to see those people delivered on the spot—a ministry that was beyond any we had before witnessed" (The House That The Lord Built).
Jack Moore: "The most gifted of all the evangelists (All Things Are Possible, by David Edwin Harrell, Jr).
F. F. BOSWORTH: "When the gift is operating, Bro. Branham is the most sensitive person to the presence and working of the Holy Spirit and to spiritual realities of any person I have ever known (A PROPHET VISITS SOUTH AFRICA, by Julius Stadsklev).
Tommy Osborn: "God has chosen diverse and mysterious ways to reveal Himself to His servants, especially those called for dispensational purposes as was Brother Branham's call" (William Branham's Memorial Service).
"In short, the man we know as William Branham, was sent to demonstrate God again in the flesh" (William Branham's Memorial Service).
"So, He (God) sent forth a particular human vessel surrounded by supernatural signs to attract attention, to make this wayward generation stop and look and ponder and search and think. Thus the halo of Light that appeared at his birth, the star, the angel, the discernment, the gifts, all of these for that purpose. What for? To show us God again. To repeat what He showed us in Jesus Christ when He came in the form of flesh. To remind us one final time. Like Jesus, Brother Branham redemonstrated the very things which made men believe that the true Messiah had come" (William Branham's Memorial Service).
George Ekeroth: "God called this humble man . . . and anointed his ministry to a degree that within a few short years his name was known in the most remote jungle out-station. Wherever you would go in this world you would find that the name of this messenger had preceded you" (Wind Over the 20th Century, by Morris Cerullo).
David Edwin Harrell, Jr: "Most of the participants of the Healing Revival (that erupted in 1947) looked upon Branham as its initiator . . . William Branham became a prophet to a generation . . . Night after night before thousands of awed believers, he discerned the diseases of the sick and pronounced them healed" (All Things Are Possible).
"The power of a Branham service . . . remains a legend unparalleled in the history of the charismatic movement" (All Things Are Possible).
James Morris: "It was Branham, more than any other evangelist, who started the post-World War II fundamental faith healing revival following his encounter with an angel on May 7, 1946" (The Preachers).
"Word radiated in every direction that all manner of diseases and afflictions were healed instantly by the little Indiana preacher. Even cases of raising the dead were published" (The Preachers).
Thomas R. Nickel: "In Bible days, there were men of God who were prophets and seers. But in all the sacred records, none of these had a greater ministry than that of William Branham, a Prophet and Seer of God, whose photograph appears on the front cover of this issue of "Full Gospel Businessman's Voice. Branham has been used by God, in the Name of Jesus, to raise the dead" (Full Gospel Men's Voice, February 1961).
Joseph Mattson Boze: "Sometimes I was scared because of the deep sense of holiness that penetrated the meetings, but I never failed to see the gift of God in operation through His servant and to feel the warmth of love that flowed through his ministry" (The Herald of Faith, February 1966).
— The Message —
The "Message" sent by God through His prophet can change your life and make the Word of God come alive to you. Paul spoke of the Bereans in this manner: "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily whether those things Were so" (Acts 17:11).
Take this Message, consider it, check it out with the Scriptures and let the Lord reveal Himself to you.
