God bless you my precious Brothers and Sisters holding the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. This revelation is your Lifeline and the Light that will draw the last one to recognize his or her day and its Message. We are so happy you could join us in fellowship around God's unchanging Word.
Yesterday was the eighteenth anniversary of the false flag black op that was 9/11. If ever there was an ensign to the world that Satan is the god of this evil age, its people and their religious beliefs, 9/11 leaves nothing to doubt. Our governments, legislatures, militaries, institutes of learning and churches are all under submission. As Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24:37, "the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is full of violence;" our items of current news testify to this.
The absolute of those we should expect to be exemplars, men of uncompromisingly sound judgment, wisdom and experience, is too often unprincipled expedience for personal advantage according to situation. The spirit of Laodicea, which means "the people's rights" has devoured integrity and personal responsibility and the world is falling apart again because there is no love, no desire or need for the Word that sustains all things (Ephesians 4:16; Colossians 1:17).
Our feature article takes to Daniel's Seventieth Week and the Great Tribulation which moves from the Christian Church an election of Israelites who will return to the Land of their Covenant in the first half of the week.
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

9/11 Truth: Foreknowledge of WTC 7's Collapse
September 11, 2019 — Witness reports show that officials who controlled the streets around WTC 7 evacuated the area in the hour before the 5:20 PM collapse, and that various officials forwarded verbal warnings conveying certainty that the collapse would occur. Network television broadcasts contain announcements of the collapse at least 23 minutes before the event . . .
This overview of witness accounts shows that the evacuation of the area surrounding WTC 7 started sometime around 4 PM, and was completed only a few minutes before the 5:20 collapse. The warnings of the collapse, which are recalled in dozens of accounts by emergency responders, show a striking consistency of conviction that the collapse would occur . . . These premature reports were uncovered in the wake of the publication of URLS of a vast archive of television footage . . . Full story: wtc7.net

We are all Hostages of 9/11
September 12, 2019 — Afghanistan was bombed and invaded because of 9/11. I was there from the start, even before 9/11. On August 20, 2001, I interviewed commander Ahmad Shah Massoud, the "Lion of the Panjshir," who told me about an "unholy alliance" of the Taliban, al-Qaeda and the ISI (Pakistani intel). Back in Peshawar, I learned that something really big was coming: my article was published by Asia Times on August 30. Commander Massoud was killed on September 9: I received a terse email from a Panjshir source, only stating, "the commander has been shot." Two days later, 9/11 happened . . . the day before . . . Osama bin Laden . . . was in a Pakistani hospital . . . proclaimed the perpetrator already at 11am on 9/11—with no investigation whatsoever. It should not have been hard to locate him in Pakistan and "bring him to justice." [Image shows Hilary Clinton with Osama bin Laden].
In December 2001 I was in Tora Bora tracking bin Laden—under B-52 bombers and side by side with Pashtun mujahideen. Later, in 2011, I would revisit the day bin Laden vanished forever. One year after 9/11, I was back in Afghanistan for an in-depth investigation of the killing of Massoud. By then it was possible to establish a Saudi connection: the letter of introduction for Massoud's killers, who posed as journalists, was facilitated by commander Sayyaf, a Saudi asset . . .

Netanyahu repeated His Vow to annex West Bank Land if Re-elected
September 12, 2019 — Israel is the only nation without official borders. Its longstanding policy calls for redrawing the Middle East map. It aims to annex more territory, including from neighbouring states and all valued parts of Judea and Samaria. Ahead of last April's Israeli elections, Netanyahu said the following:
"A Palestinian state will endanger our existence (sic), and I withstood huge pressure over the past eight years (sic). No prime minister has withstood such pressure (sic). We must control our destiny," adding:
"Will we move ahead to the next stage? Yes. I will extend sovereignty, but I don't distinguish between the settlement blocs and the isolated ones, because each settlement is Israeli, and I will not hand it over to Palestinian sovereignty."
"I will not divide Jerusalem. I will not evacuate any community, and I will make sure we control the territory west of Jordan . . . I promised and it will happen at the soonest opportunity." At the time, Israel's Channel 13 said Netanyahu is "more ready than ever" to annex and extend Israeli law to the settlements . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca
Comment: These statements signify the soon-coming end of the Christian dispensation, the utter defeat of the Israel nation, and the exodus of non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews enabling the children of Jacob to return to the Land of their Covenant for their redemption.

9/11 after 18 Years
September 9, 2019 — On the basis of the known evidence, knowledgeable and informed people have concluded that 9/11 was an inside job organized by Vice [Jew] President Dick Cheney, his stable of neoconservatives, and Israel for the purpose of reconstructing the Middle East in Israel's interest and enriching the US military/security complex in the process . . .
French author Patrick Pasin collects the evidence and weaves it into a compelling story. It is all there. The insider trading in advance of the airliner hijackings, the impossibility of cell phone calls from airliners in 2001, the anthrax letters sent to senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy which paved the way for the PATRIOT Act, the effort to blame American military scientists for the letters once it emerged that the anthrax was unique to a US military lab, the total implausibility of finding an undamaged passport in the rubble of the twin towers where fires allegedly were so hot that they melted steel . . .

Another Official 9/11 Big Lie Exposed – Again
September 5, 2019 — Big Lies take on a life of their own because establishment media report them as facts—serving as press agents for powerful interests inimical to peace, equity and justice. The official 9/11 story is the Biggest Big Lie of our time—about the mother of all state-sponsored false flags, dark forces in Washington responsible.
Osama bin Laden and so-called "crazed Arabs" had nothing to do with what . . . opened the gates of hell for endless US wars of aggression against nonbelligerent states threatening no one—responsible for countless millions of deaths and human misery on an appalling scale. Seriously ill with kidney disease and other ailments, bin Ladin . . . on September 10, 2001 (one day before 9/11), CBS News anchor Dan Rather reported his admittance to a Rawalpindi, Pakistan hospital. He was dying . . . in December [he] was buried in the mountains of southeast Afghanistan . . . Obama didn't kill Osama, another Big Lie of our time. So-called "Enemy Number One" was an unwitting CIA asset—recruited in the 1980s by Pakistani intelligence against Soviet Russia in Afghanistan. The official 9/11 account was fabricated to conceal state-sponsored terrorism, dark forces in Washington [were] responsible for what happened . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Who won, and who lost, World War II?
September 7, 2019 — Sunday, the 80th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of Poland, Vice President Mike Pence spoke in Warsaw's Pilsudski Square of "five decades of untold suffering and death that followed" the invasion. Five decades!
What Pence was saying was that, for Poland, World War II did not end in victory but defeat and occupation by an evil empire ruled by one of the greatest mass murderers of the 20th century, [the Jew] Josef Stalin. The "Liberation of Europe," the 75th anniversary of which we celebrated at Omaha Beach on June 6, was a liberation that extended only to the Elbe River in the heart of Germany. Beyond the Elbe, the Nazis were annihilated, but victory belonged to an equally evil ideology, for the "liberators" of Auschwitz had for decades run an archipelago of concentration camps as large as Himmler's.
So, who really won, and who lost, the war?
[The Jew] Winston Churchill wanted to fight for Czechoslovakia at Munich in 1938, and Britain went to war for Poland in 1939. Yet if both nations ended up under [Jewish] Bolshevik rule for half a century, did Britain win their freedom? And if this was the predictable result of a war in a part of Europe where Nazis confronted Bolsheviks, why did Britain even go to war?
Why did Britain declare war for a cause and country it could not defend? Why did Britain turn a German-Polish war into a world war that would surely bankrupt her and bring down her empire, while she could not achieve her declared war goal—a liberated and independent Poland? What vital British interest was imperilled by Hitler's retrieval of a port city, Danzig, that had been severed from Germany against the will of its 300,000 people and handed to Poland at Versailles in 1919? Danzigers never wanted to leave Germany, and 90% wanted to return. Even the British Cabinet thought Germany had a case and Danzig should be returned.
Why then did Britain declare war?
Because Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had insanely given the Poles a blank check, a war guarantee on March 31, 1939: If Germany uses force to retrieve Danzig, and you resist, we will fight at your side. Britain's war guarantee guaranteed the war.
Given the cause for which their country went to war, British actions during the war seem inexplicable. When Stalin's army invaded Poland, September 17, 1939, two weeks after Hitler, Britain did not declare war on the Soviet Union. The Polish officer corps were executed on Moscow's orders in 1940. When the bodies were unearthed in Katyn in 1943, Churchill, now an ally of Stalin, responded to the Free Poles' request to investigate the atrocity: "There is no use prowling round the three year old graves of Smolensk." Rather than attack Hitler after he invaded Poland, Britain and France remained behind the Maginot Line and waited until Hitler's armies stormed west on May 10, 1940, the day Churchill took power. In three weeks, the British army had been defeated and thrown off the continent. In six weeks, France had surrendered. After Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain in 1940, Britain refused all of Hitler's offers to end the war, holding on till June 1941, when Hitler turned on his partner Stalin and invaded the Soviet Union. Churchill is the "man of the century" for persuading Britain to stand alone against Nazi Germany in 1940, Britain's "finest hour". Full story: thebrunswicknews.com

Esau/Edom, and the Trail of the Serpent – IX
This-evening's sermon is set in the great and dreadful day of the Lord—"the day of vengeance of our God"—after the close of the Christian dispensation when God turns back to Israel in Daniel's Seventieth Week which will be "the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it".
"Jacob's Trouble" is typed in Genesis where Jacob had to confront his brother Esau before he could return to his inheritance and the birthright he bought for a bowl of red lentil stew. Jacob feared for his life because he had defrauded Esau by impersonating him to their father Isaac, to steal his blessing. He fled to his Uncle Laban in Syria where he married his daughters, tended his flocks, and was deceived in his turn.
After many years, Jacob with his wives and children, his servants, his animals, and all of their possessions set off to return to the Promised Land. When he learned that his brother Esau was coming to meet him with 400 men, he was afraid, and sent messengers ahead to tell Esau God had prospered him, and dividing his caravan into two bands, sent the animals and servants ahead so that if Esau killed them the second caravan with his wives and children might escape.
Jacob divided his animals into groups with a distance between each and sent them ahead at the hands of his servants as a gift to buy grace in Esau's sight. That night as he travailed in prayer, God met him in the form of a created Man, and Jacob prevailed until He granted his petition, blessed him and changed his name to Israel. In the morning he saw Esau approaching and went ahead of his wives and concubines, and children, bowing himself seven times to the ground, signifying the Seven Gentile Church Ages whose overlord is Esau, the self-styled Jewish bankster with his wealthy Judaeo-Roman Universal church. Consequently Jacob could not bribe Esau and today's apostate Gentile Church that says, "I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing: [like Esau it has despised and rejected the Birthright], and knows it not." This signifies that following the earthquake that will mark the end of the Gentile dispensation and the collapse of the US dollar and world economy Rome will not need the Jew's money in order to withstand the challenge for headship over world government by Judaeo-Communism. For the Rothschilds bear the title "Guardians of the Vatican Treasury." The Vatican Treasury, of course, holds the imperial wealth of Rome (Jewish Encyclopedia (Vol. II, p. 497), and their policy is always to finance both sides. That way they offend nobody. So Jacob had to make an agreement with Esau then, as the Jewry will have to accommodate Rome in the near future (Daniel 9:27; Revelation 3:17).
God granted Israel grace in Esau's sight and he returned safely to Canaan. And in the near future God will grant grace to the Israelites following the cleaving of the Mount of Olives, invasion and utter defeat of the modern state of faux Israel, enabling them to return from their exile in the now Muslim nations of the former Babylonian and Assyrian Empires to the Land of their Covenant without "fear of the Jews" who will have largely abandoned Israel for the fleshpots of apostate Christendom. This will initiate "the time of Jacob's trouble," which will be the Great Tribulation. God cannot deal with the sons of Jacob outside the Land of Israel where His Covenant is on non-effect. The hypocritical non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews cannot even observe the sabbath that is not theirs outside the Land of the Covenant.
According to HDM Spence, "Israelites dwelling outside the land of Israel are unintentional idolaters." God deals with Israel as a nation, not individuals as He deals with we Gentiles. And so-called "Jew" living outside the Land today, be he a rabbi or whatever, is a liar and an hypocrite guilty of the Covenant he claims as his own (Treasures of the Talmud, James Nisbet Co, London, compiled from the Babylonian Talmud).
When his foes confront him Israel will be desperate and 144,000 will wrestle and prevail with God, like Jacob. God will stand for them and as He changed Esau's plan to kill Jacob, their enemies will be defeated without hand and they will be born as a nation in one day. Their name and nature will be changed from Jacob, meaning "supplanter," to Israel or "overcomer" (Daniel 12:1; Isaiah 66:8).
We must distinguish between "Jews" and "Israelites." Every resident of the Roman Province of Judea or Idumea "Jew" whatever their race or religion. Today, as in the days of Jesus, most Jews are either Gentiles or physical Serpent's seed with no link to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by blood or by faith, and no historic claim to the Promised Land or the Covenants of God (Ephesians 2:12).
After "Jacob's trouble" God will defeat and utterly annihilate the foes of true Israel as He instructed Moses to kill all Serpent's seed in the conquest of the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 7:1-2).
Jeremiah 30 describes the time of "Jacob's trouble" which is on the horizon now. Please turn to verse three. God spoke to Jeremiah at the start of the Servitude to Nebuchadnezzar in 606BC, saying, "The days are coming when I will restore Israel and Judah, causing them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it."
These Words would have been comforting to the Judeans, in the face of Jeremiah's prophecy that they should become captives in Babylon for seventy years (Jeremiah 25:8-11; 29:10). However they do not refer to Judah's restoration in peace by the edict of Cyrus but to the Spiritual restoration in a time of trouble for an election from all twelve Tribes, who will return to the Land after the close of the Christian dispensation and grace.
Jeremiah 30:4-8, "These are the Words of the Lord regarding Israel and Judah: Where shall we find peace? they cry. There is only fear and terror. Do men give birth? Why then do I see every man ashen-faced, with his hands upon his sides, like a woman in labour?"
"Alas! throughout history there's never been a time of such fear: it's even the time of Jacob's Trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. For in that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will break the yoke from your neck, and burst your bonds. Strangers will no longer enslave you. But you shall serve the Lord your God, and David your King, Whom I will raise up to you" (Matthew 24:21).
God is not speaking of a release from Babylonian captivity seventy-years hence, but release from bondage to sin and to the world. In Daniel's Seventieth Week God makes an end of Israel's unbelief, which is sin (Daniel 9:24), and the oppression of strangers, so they can serve the Lord in newness of Life. After Israel is born-again, God will destroy their oppressors, and restore the Kingdom to Israel in the millennium under Messiah Jesus, David's greater Son (Acts 1:6).
The Hebrew word used to describe these "strangers" is 'zuwr'—enemy aliens or a foreign race (Serpent's seed) with no rights whatsoever in Israel. Oh, they might call themselves "Jews" and pretend to be the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but even justice is denied the zuwr. And in all of Israel's national disasters he is reckoned the main contributing factor. Certainly sounds like his brother, Esau.
Verses 11 and 24, "I will utterly destroy the nations where I have scattered you. You won't go unpunished but I will not exterminate you . . . in the latter days or "end times" you will understand this prophecy."
So by the end of Daniel's Seventieth Week, God will have destroyed all of Israel's enemies including "those who say they are Jews (or chosen of God) and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." If we can discover who Israel's historical enemies were back then, we'll know who their enemies are today (Revelation 2:9). We have already discovered three clues. Firstly, the Tribulation is called the time of "Jacob's Trouble," and we know Jacob's enemy in the Old Testament type was his brother Esau, who claimed the same religion, and worshiped the same God Jacob worshiped. So close as would almost deceive the very elect were it possible. Secondly, these folk are foreigners living among Israel. Jeremiah calls them "zuwr," so they include Serpent's seed. Thirdly, they are the rich ruling class.
Genesis 27:38-41, "Esau said to his father, Have you but one blessing, my father? bless me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. And Isaac his father answered, Behold, your dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; and by your sword shall you live, and shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass when you shall have the dominion, that you shall break his yoke from off your neck. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob."
As Isaac prophesied, the time came when Esau gained dominion and took Jacob's supremacy. They call themselves "Jews," but NEVER call themselves Israelites or Hebrews. They know they are not "Israelites" yet they are fellow-travellers with Jacob. Jacob/Israel has known no enemy so hateful or deadly as Esau/Edom from his childhood to the present day. It is always so close as would almost deceive the very elected if it were possible. Jesus said in Matthew 10:36, "A man's foes shall be those of his own household".
We are also coming into the time of Jacob's Trouble. The deception will be exposed and 144,000 elect sons and daughters of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will "wrestle" with the Lord until they "overcome" and receive the revelation that baptizes them with the Holy Spirit and a new name, Israel.
Joseph, a type of Christ, was rejected by his brothers and sold as a slave. He eventually became second only to Pharaoh in the kingdom. No man could come to Pharaoh but through Joseph. And no man can come to the Father but through the Son. In a time of famine, Jacob sent the children of Israel to Egypt to buy food. There is a famine in the land today—not for bread [but that is coming], but for hearing the true Word of God: Israel hasn't heard It for 2,000 years. And It is almost unknown in once Christian lands today.
When they presented themselves, Joseph pretended not to know his brothers. But when he revealed himself they were so terrified they cried. Scripture says the 144,000 will separate from one another when they see their Atonement, and weep like a family that's lost their only son.
They will ask, "Where did You get those wounds?"
And He will reply, "In the house of My friends. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him," (John 5:18).
Joseph sent his wife into the palace: a type of the Bride who will be in glory when Jesus reveals Himself to Israel after the Wedding Supper which will take place during the first three and a half years of the Tribulation when Rome is in covenant with their enemy, the Jew, and two Hebrew prophets are ministering in Israel. Jacob's Trouble will follows after Rome breaks her agreement with the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jewish banksters.
In Obadiah 7-10 the Lord says of Edom, "All the men of your confederacy—your allies [Rome])—will turn against you, and will take over Jerusalem and Israel [when they break their covenant in the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week]. [Edomites] constituted a part of the Jewish people, Herod being one of their descendants" (The Standard Jewish Encyclopedia, 1966, p. 592). "Edom is in modern Jewry" (The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 Ed., Vol. 5, p. 41). Edomites became a section of the Jewish people (Encyclopaedia Judaica, 1971) Vol. 6, p. 378). "They were hereafter no other than Jews" (Josephus, The Antiquities of the Jews. 1960, Book XIII, Chapter IX, Verse 1, p. 279).
Obadiah 8-10, "In that day not one wise men will remain in all of Edom. For I will fill the wise men of Edom with stupidity. The mightiest soldiers of Teman [east of Idumea, descendants of a grandson of Esau] shall be confused so that everyone of the mount of Esau will be cut off by slaughter. Because of your violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you will be cut off forever".
This little Book of Obadiah is a compound prophecy of events that transpired under Nebuchadnezzar, and what will happen soon. For in verses 15 and 18 we read, "The day of vengeance will soon fall upon all the heathen: as you have done to Israel, so shall it be done to you. Your dealing will return upon your own head . . . Israel shall be a fire that sets the dry fields of Edom aflame, and there shall be no survivors of the house of Esau. Thus saith the Lord."
The last book of the Old Testament also points to Esau/Edom as Jacob/Israel's mortal enemy and the focus of God's indignation forever. Malachi 1:2-5, "I have loved you deeply, says the Lord to Israel. Yet you say, In what way, and how have you loved us?"
"The Lord replied, I showed My love for you by loving Jacob, your father yet I did not need to. I even rejected his brother Esau, and destroyed his mountains, giving his inheritance to the jackals of the desert." [After World War II, Political Zionists, led by extremists, seized control in Palestine. The impoverishment of the displaced European Jews provided them a powerful lever]. "Edom said, Although we are impoverished, we will return and rebuild the ruins. But thus saith the Lord, They shall build but I will destroy it, for their country is called, "The Land of Wickedness," and the people, "Those Whom God Does Not Forgive" (Exodus 17:16; Numbers 24:20).
"When your own eyes see this, you will say, The Lord is great and will be magnified beyond the border of Israel." Oh my, they will recognize their Messiah, like Joseph, has taken a Gentile Bride and multiplied (Genesis 9:27).
Palestine was given by God to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—the whole House of Israel, "forever." Observe what He says here: "Edom/Esau shall build, but I will destroy." So the real restoration is yet to come. And those rebuilding in Israel today are not God's people.
One last witness that speaks of the day of the Lord is Isaiah 34:5, where God calls Idumea, which is Esau/Edom, "the people of My curse." The Hebrew word for curse is "cherem" meaning something devoted to utter destruction as an affront to God's holiness.
We have followed the trail of the serpent from the original sin in the Garden of Eden (which was adultery between Eve and the Devil-incarnate Serpent, whose seed was Cain), to "the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompense for what Esau/Edom has done to Israel" (Isaiah 34:7). By intermarrying with the Serpent's seed people of the land of Canaan, Esau/Edom became Serpent's seed. And John Hyrcanus forcibly converted Esau/Edom to Judaism. Today they form the great majority of so-called "Jews," and are still killing Jacob/Israel to gain the dominion, notably by the taxpayer-funded military might of "the coalition of the willing" apostate (once) Christian nations ignorantly seeking to genocide the children of Jacob in exile in the now Muslim lands of the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian Empires.
Now I'll ask you please to open your Bibles at Ezekiel 38. Of all the ancient names mentioned in the Old Testament, "Gog" has to be one of the most inscrutable. Apart from a Reubenite of this name (I Chronicles 5:4), the word is mentioned only in Ezekiel 38 and 39 and in Revelation 20:7-9.
A traveller of the thirteenth century called a Tartar chief, "Gog Khan." "Gog" means "to surmount" and denotes one who sets himself like the roof in the midst of heaven and earth, between God and men. Gog leads Magog, which represents a whole complex of nations under his subjection as vassals.
Up to this point Ezekiel 35-37 have described the gathering of the whole house of Jacob/Israel to the Promised Land in unbelief among a mixed multitude, of their sanctification and God's revelation to the elect 144,000 in the judgment of Esau/Edom. Clearly there is a connection between Esau/Edom and "Gog." In Gog the earlier enemies of Israel reappear.
In Ezekiel 38:17 and 39:8 we see references to a prophesied event in Ezekiel 39:22—the execution of God's judgment on the heathen and His "parousia" to Israel. And in Ezekiel 35:14-15 God says, "When the whole earth rejoices, then I will make mount Seir and Idumea desolate."
Clearly there is a connection between Esau/Edom and "Gog." A clue is found in Ezekiel 38:17 where the Lord says, "Are you he of whom I've spoken unceasingly in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel?" This is retrospective and takes in the entire sequence of prophetic witness from Moses to the time of writing (587BC), and states how this unfulfilled prophecy will be fulfilled in Gog in the end time.
Gog is Esau/Edom, the self-styled Jew and Israel's enemy, that has rejected the dominion of God's spoken Word since Esau despised the birthright, and contended with Jacob/Israel for world dominion ever since.
Ezekiel 39:8 says that in the day when God destroys the armies of Magog, He will reveal Himself to Israel, and the heathen too shall know He's with Israel. "This is the promised day of visitation".
Ezekiel 39:21-22, "I will demonstrate My glory among the heathen, and all shall see My judgment upon Gog and know that I have done it. And from that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God" (An Exposition of the Sven Church Ages, p. 40:2).
Gog's terrible invasion had been predicted long ago by the earlier prophets, but his name had not been specified. God now identifies Gog with the people spoken of in those former prophecies.
The prophecies of the "former days" include:-
Isaiah 34:5-6 which calls for utter destruction upon the armies of all the nations in this final battle, names Esau/Edom, saying, "My sword shall be bathed in heaven [casting-out Satan and his demons—Revelation 12:8-9], then fall upon Idumea, the descendants of Esau, whom I have cursed to judgment. My sword will be filled with his blood and made fat by his flesh as though I were slaying lambs and goats for sacrifice, for the Lord will slay a great sacrifice in Bozrah [capital of Edom, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea."
Isaiah 63:1, "Who is this Who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? One glorious in His apparel, striding triumphantly in the greatness of His might? I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save."
Joel 3:9-21 speaking of this last war says in verse 19, "Esau/Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, because of their violence against the children of Judah, and because they have shed innocent blood in their land."
These Scriptures identify the people described by the prophets in former days as opposing Israel and the Lord, with "Gog." Many have taken "Gog" to mean Russia, but such a suggestion should enjoy the full support of Scripture. Persia (Elam), Ethiopia (Cush) and Libya (Phut) were literal people, as were Magog, Meshech, Tubal, Gomer and Togarmah (Ezekiel 38:2, 5-6). So Gog, their chief ruler or "king of kings" must also be an historic person and race. There is no Bible reference that would identify the Russians with "He of whom God spoke in former days." The Tsarist regime did not begin until the first Tsar, Ivan IV, conquered and annexed the adjoining countries, in consequence of which, a Russian confederation was formed. Prior to the sixteenth century, Russia was not a composite national entity and could not have been the entity of which the Lord spoke "in former days by the prophets of Israel." But there was a people of Mongol-Turko origin whose kingdom was in the Caucasus above Georgia in what became Southern Russia who were converted to Talmudic Judaism in AD740. These people are Hittites, like Esau/Edom. They overcame Russia and are the people spoken of by the former prophets who will come from the north. After AD765, their empire ceased, and as their political independence waned to extinction, this Asiatic mixture began to migrate. While history writes-off the Khazars following a joint Byzantine-Rus defeat in AD1016, they constituted the largest group of Jewish people at that time. They had already begun to establish themselves in the north. We read of a group coming to Kiev in AD986 in a misguided attempt to convert Vladimir.
According to Poliak, "The popular Jewish legend doesn't remember a "Khazar" kingdom but a kingdom of the "Red Jews" (Khazaria—The History of a Jewish Kingdom in Europe (Hebrew) Mossad Bialik, Tel Aviv, 1951).
Baron writes, "Jews of other lands were flattered by the existence of an independent Jewish state. Popular imagination found here a particularly fertile field. Just as the Biblically-minded Slavonic epics speak of "Jews" rather than Khazars, so did western Jews long after romantic tales around those "Red Jews," so styled because of the slight Mongolian pigmentation of many Khazars" (A Social and Religious History of the Jews, Vol. III, p. 204; Vol. IV, pp. 202-4 and notes, New York, 1957).
In 1917, the Khazars successfully invaded Russia from the United States and took control in a bloody revolution. They were financed by Khazar bankers in New York, London and Europe who thus extended their colonies beyond the US and nominally British Empire into Europe and Asia.
The National Geographic Magazine, (Vol. XVIII, May, 1907, p. 314), says of the 1905 Russian Revolution, ". . . the revolutionary leaders nearly all belonged to the Jewish race, and the most effective revolutionary agency is the Jewish Bund."
The American Hebrew Magazine, (September 10, 1920) said that the 1917 "Bolshevist revolution in Russia was the work of Jewish brains, of Jewish dissatisfaction, of Jewish planning, whose goal is to create a new order of the world."
The Union of American Hebrew Congregations published "Jew and Non-Jew" by Martin A. Meyer which states, "Socialism was originated by Jews; and today Jews play a leading role in its spread and interpretation."
The Jewish Encyclopedia (1905, Vol. XI, p. 418) states, "Jews have been prominently identified with the modern Socialist movement from its very inception."
The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia (Vol. IX, 1943) says under Soviet Russia: "The majority of Jewish radicals adhered to democratic socialism" (p. 668).
The Jewish Chronicle (April 4, 1919) said, "There is much in the fact that so many Jews are Bolsheviks, in the fact that the ideals of Bolshevism are at many points consonant with the finest ideals of Judaism."
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise is quoted in The American Bulletin (May 15, 1935) as saying, "Some call it Marxism—I call it Judaism."
"Communism and Judaism are one and the same" (Hilary Cotter, Cardinal Mindszenty, The Truth About His Real "Crime," p. 6).
In his book, "Stalin, Trotsky, or Lenin" (p. 414, 1937), George Marlen stated: "If the tide of history does not turn toward Communist Internationalism then the Jewish race is doomed."
Harry Watson wrote in "A Program for the Jews and an Answer to all Anti-Semites" (p. 148, 1939): "It is not an accident that Judaism gave birth to Marxism, and it is not an accident that the Jews readily took up Marxism, all that is in perfect accord with the progress of Judaism and the Jews."
"After all, wasn't the revolution prepared and fashioned by Jews? Both of Karl Marx' (Mordecai) grandfathers were rabbis, and Lenin's grandfather was also Jewish. And wasn't Kakov Sverdlov, the first Chief of State, a Jew, as was Trotsky himself?" (Stuart Kahan, Wolf In The Kremlin, p. 81, 1987).
I contend upon the evidence of Scripture, history, and THUS SAITH THE LORD of the prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7, that the people who invaded Russia are Esau/Edom, the ancient enemy of Jacob/Israel. Ezekiel, Jesus and John called them "Gog." Daniel called Gog, the king of the North, the leader of the Confederation of Soviet Republics, who will also lead the kings of the East.
Gog is Russia. Not the Russian people themselves, but their foreign Zionist-Communist rulers. Every US citizen must know Gog, because American taxpayers have funded Communist Russia for seventy years through the Ford Foundation, Carnegie Endowment Fund and many other tax-exempt trusts and foundations, shanghaied off Wall Street over the years by Esau/Edom.
Brother Branham said, "What made Russia Communist is the weakness of the Catholic church there, that took all the money from the people and gave them nothing back. They didn't live any different lives or everything else. That's what's turning the whole world to be Communist. That's right." (Show Us the Father, #62-0722).
"They say Communism will go take the world over. Don't you believe that. Communism ain't going to do nothing. Show me one place in the Bible where Communism will ever take over. The Bible says Romanism will take over, not Communism. Look at Daniel's vision. Not Communism, it's a puppet in God's hands to destroy Romanism. You fear that, not Communism" (It is I, Be Not Afraid, #62-0726).
"Why is Communism coming? Why is the world being swallowed up? Why could one percent of Russia (that's all that's Communist), ninety-nine percent is still Christian. One percent of Russia controls the rest of the eastern world: Communism. Why can it do it? The Bible said it would" (We Have Seen His Star and Have Come to Worship Him, p. 25:166).
And Communism has already conquered the West. Noam Chomsky said, "People don't know what's happening, and they don't even know that they don't know." For instance, how many Americans are aware that all US Presidents from Woodrow Wilson have been Communists? Oh not saying card-carrying Party Members, but they were controlled by Zionists, and Jewish-led Think Tanks, like the CFR and Trilateral Commission that dictated their policies, which are all Communist in principle. Globalism and internationalism is Communism.
In Australia most of our post-War Prime Ministers have been Fabian Communists. Not members of the Fabian Society, but their policies are Fabian Communist, including those of John Howard. Communism is not a Party, it is the spirit of egalitarianism which must lead to anarchy. It is the absurd claim of Thomas Jefferson that "all men are created equal." But Communism, wherever it was forced upon people, has proved George Orwell's Animal Farm correct in that "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." The Bible calls Communism "Laodicea," which means "rights of the people".
Our Hegelian sham democracies, the mental conditioning and programming corps we call schools and universities, dirty entertainments, anti-Christian churches and big business, are imbued with the spirit of Communism and the Talmud which are "enmity" against God's Bible. No longer are there any absolutes. He who dares wins, and the Devil take the hindmost. Nowhere is this more evident than in attempts by corporations to make the rules by which we live.
The Money Power elites are trying to reorganize global economic structures and political power. Their primary tools are the trade accords, including GATT and the World Trade Organization which was created to enforce GATT's rules, NAFTA, and the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI).
The same people who brought us GATT and NAFTA were locked in secret negotiations conspiring with our elected representatives since 1995 to push an agreement on the MAI. The press, consumer and democracy groups, environmentalists, small businesses, labour, and other NGOs were excluded.
Professor Marjorie Cohen (Simon Fraser University) said, "The MAI was designed solely to discipline nations in the interests of the one class which enjoys world citizenship—the international investor" (Hearings on the MAI Panel on Corporate, Consumer and Social Implications, Ottawa, November 26, 1997). These people have world citizenship but no inheritance in this world or in the World to come (Genesis 4:9-11). The swine even suggested that signing the MAI should become a precondition to any IMF assistance or even overseas aid. The new face of colonialism.
When WTO Director-General Renato Ruggiero called the MAI "the Constitution for a single global economy," he meant a world where the rules are not made by elected officials, labour unions, or the democratic process. The rules would be made by investors, speculators, and multinational corporations whose only interests are profit and acquisition. But most lawmakers had never heard of the Multilateral Agreement on Investment." Neither had the vast majority of our citizens.
Communism is Zionism, which is identified with Esau/Edom. God has allowed this ungodliness to raise up to destroy the false Church. And it will, but it will annihilate itself and destroy all life on earth in the process.
Jacob and Esau struggled in the womb. At birth, when Jacob grabbed Esau by the heel, it showed Jacob/Israel would overcome when he prevailed with the Angel of the Lord, and that he would also overcome his adversary. We've identified Esau/Edom and seen how he rules by his propaganda against the Word of God; by his bloodshed, and by his corrupt Money Power. But what of Jacob/Israel? Who is he?
Spiritually Jacob/Israel is the True and elect Church of the Lord Jesus. Those who recognized Christ's "parousia" Coming in this day, and have His Life on display for all to see. The earthly Bride of the Heavenly Bride Groom, made-up of both Hebrews and Gentiles. And very, very few in number. Perhaps hundreds out of all the hundreds of thousands who follow this end-time Message. Maybe less. By the grace of God, you and I are among that little flock called Spiritual Israel.
Shortly after the end of Grace, Christ will translate His precious Bride, and take Her Home. After the Wedding Supper He'll return in the Tribulation to reveal Himself to Jacob, who is natural Israel.
Jacob or natural Israel is born of the pure blood-line all the way from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, with absolutely no miscegenation in the line of the Serpent. Although unconverted, he will return to the Land of the Covenant in obedience to the Law and the prophets, awaiting Elijah and the other prophet of Zechariah 4, to introduce his Messiah.
During the tribulation, the revelation of the Message of these two prophets will convert Jacob and his name will become Israel. After this, Esau/Edom will kill all 144,000 elect Israelites. Armageddon will set in, destroying life on earth, then Satan will be bound for a thousand years, because all of his subjects will be in the grave until the general resurrection. Thereafter the trail of the serpent will be forever cut off before the White Throne Judgment. nl1088.htm
"Jacob's Trouble" is typed in Genesis where Jacob had to confront his brother Esau before he could return to his inheritance and the birthright he bought for a bowl of red lentil stew. Jacob feared for his life because he had defrauded Esau by impersonating him to their father Isaac, to steal his blessing. He fled to his Uncle Laban in Syria where he married his daughters, tended his flocks, and was deceived in his turn.
After many years, Jacob with his wives and children, his servants, his animals, and all of their possessions set off to return to the Promised Land. When he learned that his brother Esau was coming to meet him with 400 men, he was afraid, and sent messengers ahead to tell Esau God had prospered him, and dividing his caravan into two bands, sent the animals and servants ahead so that if Esau killed them the second caravan with his wives and children might escape.
Jacob divided his animals into groups with a distance between each and sent them ahead at the hands of his servants as a gift to buy grace in Esau's sight. That night as he travailed in prayer, God met him in the form of a created Man, and Jacob prevailed until He granted his petition, blessed him and changed his name to Israel. In the morning he saw Esau approaching and went ahead of his wives and concubines, and children, bowing himself seven times to the ground, signifying the Seven Gentile Church Ages whose overlord is Esau, the self-styled Jewish bankster with his wealthy Judaeo-Roman Universal church. Consequently Jacob could not bribe Esau and today's apostate Gentile Church that says, "I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing: [like Esau it has despised and rejected the Birthright], and knows it not." This signifies that following the earthquake that will mark the end of the Gentile dispensation and the collapse of the US dollar and world economy Rome will not need the Jew's money in order to withstand the challenge for headship over world government by Judaeo-Communism. For the Rothschilds bear the title "Guardians of the Vatican Treasury." The Vatican Treasury, of course, holds the imperial wealth of Rome (Jewish Encyclopedia (Vol. II, p. 497), and their policy is always to finance both sides. That way they offend nobody. So Jacob had to make an agreement with Esau then, as the Jewry will have to accommodate Rome in the near future (Daniel 9:27; Revelation 3:17).
God granted Israel grace in Esau's sight and he returned safely to Canaan. And in the near future God will grant grace to the Israelites following the cleaving of the Mount of Olives, invasion and utter defeat of the modern state of faux Israel, enabling them to return from their exile in the now Muslim nations of the former Babylonian and Assyrian Empires to the Land of their Covenant without "fear of the Jews" who will have largely abandoned Israel for the fleshpots of apostate Christendom. This will initiate "the time of Jacob's trouble," which will be the Great Tribulation. God cannot deal with the sons of Jacob outside the Land of Israel where His Covenant is on non-effect. The hypocritical non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews cannot even observe the sabbath that is not theirs outside the Land of the Covenant.
According to HDM Spence, "Israelites dwelling outside the land of Israel are unintentional idolaters." God deals with Israel as a nation, not individuals as He deals with we Gentiles. And so-called "Jew" living outside the Land today, be he a rabbi or whatever, is a liar and an hypocrite guilty of the Covenant he claims as his own (Treasures of the Talmud, James Nisbet Co, London, compiled from the Babylonian Talmud).
When his foes confront him Israel will be desperate and 144,000 will wrestle and prevail with God, like Jacob. God will stand for them and as He changed Esau's plan to kill Jacob, their enemies will be defeated without hand and they will be born as a nation in one day. Their name and nature will be changed from Jacob, meaning "supplanter," to Israel or "overcomer" (Daniel 12:1; Isaiah 66:8).
We must distinguish between "Jews" and "Israelites." Every resident of the Roman Province of Judea or Idumea "Jew" whatever their race or religion. Today, as in the days of Jesus, most Jews are either Gentiles or physical Serpent's seed with no link to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by blood or by faith, and no historic claim to the Promised Land or the Covenants of God (Ephesians 2:12).
After "Jacob's trouble" God will defeat and utterly annihilate the foes of true Israel as He instructed Moses to kill all Serpent's seed in the conquest of the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 7:1-2).
Jeremiah 30 describes the time of "Jacob's trouble" which is on the horizon now. Please turn to verse three. God spoke to Jeremiah at the start of the Servitude to Nebuchadnezzar in 606BC, saying, "The days are coming when I will restore Israel and Judah, causing them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it."
These Words would have been comforting to the Judeans, in the face of Jeremiah's prophecy that they should become captives in Babylon for seventy years (Jeremiah 25:8-11; 29:10). However they do not refer to Judah's restoration in peace by the edict of Cyrus but to the Spiritual restoration in a time of trouble for an election from all twelve Tribes, who will return to the Land after the close of the Christian dispensation and grace.
Jeremiah 30:4-8, "These are the Words of the Lord regarding Israel and Judah: Where shall we find peace? they cry. There is only fear and terror. Do men give birth? Why then do I see every man ashen-faced, with his hands upon his sides, like a woman in labour?"
"Alas! throughout history there's never been a time of such fear: it's even the time of Jacob's Trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. For in that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will break the yoke from your neck, and burst your bonds. Strangers will no longer enslave you. But you shall serve the Lord your God, and David your King, Whom I will raise up to you" (Matthew 24:21).
God is not speaking of a release from Babylonian captivity seventy-years hence, but release from bondage to sin and to the world. In Daniel's Seventieth Week God makes an end of Israel's unbelief, which is sin (Daniel 9:24), and the oppression of strangers, so they can serve the Lord in newness of Life. After Israel is born-again, God will destroy their oppressors, and restore the Kingdom to Israel in the millennium under Messiah Jesus, David's greater Son (Acts 1:6).
The Hebrew word used to describe these "strangers" is 'zuwr'—enemy aliens or a foreign race (Serpent's seed) with no rights whatsoever in Israel. Oh, they might call themselves "Jews" and pretend to be the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but even justice is denied the zuwr. And in all of Israel's national disasters he is reckoned the main contributing factor. Certainly sounds like his brother, Esau.
Verses 11 and 24, "I will utterly destroy the nations where I have scattered you. You won't go unpunished but I will not exterminate you . . . in the latter days or "end times" you will understand this prophecy."
So by the end of Daniel's Seventieth Week, God will have destroyed all of Israel's enemies including "those who say they are Jews (or chosen of God) and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." If we can discover who Israel's historical enemies were back then, we'll know who their enemies are today (Revelation 2:9). We have already discovered three clues. Firstly, the Tribulation is called the time of "Jacob's Trouble," and we know Jacob's enemy in the Old Testament type was his brother Esau, who claimed the same religion, and worshiped the same God Jacob worshiped. So close as would almost deceive the very elect were it possible. Secondly, these folk are foreigners living among Israel. Jeremiah calls them "zuwr," so they include Serpent's seed. Thirdly, they are the rich ruling class.
Genesis 27:38-41, "Esau said to his father, Have you but one blessing, my father? bless me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. And Isaac his father answered, Behold, your dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; and by your sword shall you live, and shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass when you shall have the dominion, that you shall break his yoke from off your neck. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob."
As Isaac prophesied, the time came when Esau gained dominion and took Jacob's supremacy. They call themselves "Jews," but NEVER call themselves Israelites or Hebrews. They know they are not "Israelites" yet they are fellow-travellers with Jacob. Jacob/Israel has known no enemy so hateful or deadly as Esau/Edom from his childhood to the present day. It is always so close as would almost deceive the very elected if it were possible. Jesus said in Matthew 10:36, "A man's foes shall be those of his own household".
We are also coming into the time of Jacob's Trouble. The deception will be exposed and 144,000 elect sons and daughters of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will "wrestle" with the Lord until they "overcome" and receive the revelation that baptizes them with the Holy Spirit and a new name, Israel.
Joseph, a type of Christ, was rejected by his brothers and sold as a slave. He eventually became second only to Pharaoh in the kingdom. No man could come to Pharaoh but through Joseph. And no man can come to the Father but through the Son. In a time of famine, Jacob sent the children of Israel to Egypt to buy food. There is a famine in the land today—not for bread [but that is coming], but for hearing the true Word of God: Israel hasn't heard It for 2,000 years. And It is almost unknown in once Christian lands today.
When they presented themselves, Joseph pretended not to know his brothers. But when he revealed himself they were so terrified they cried. Scripture says the 144,000 will separate from one another when they see their Atonement, and weep like a family that's lost their only son.
They will ask, "Where did You get those wounds?"
And He will reply, "In the house of My friends. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him," (John 5:18).
Joseph sent his wife into the palace: a type of the Bride who will be in glory when Jesus reveals Himself to Israel after the Wedding Supper which will take place during the first three and a half years of the Tribulation when Rome is in covenant with their enemy, the Jew, and two Hebrew prophets are ministering in Israel. Jacob's Trouble will follows after Rome breaks her agreement with the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jewish banksters.
In Obadiah 7-10 the Lord says of Edom, "All the men of your confederacy—your allies [Rome])—will turn against you, and will take over Jerusalem and Israel [when they break their covenant in the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week]. [Edomites] constituted a part of the Jewish people, Herod being one of their descendants" (The Standard Jewish Encyclopedia, 1966, p. 592). "Edom is in modern Jewry" (The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 Ed., Vol. 5, p. 41). Edomites became a section of the Jewish people (Encyclopaedia Judaica, 1971) Vol. 6, p. 378). "They were hereafter no other than Jews" (Josephus, The Antiquities of the Jews. 1960, Book XIII, Chapter IX, Verse 1, p. 279).
Obadiah 8-10, "In that day not one wise men will remain in all of Edom. For I will fill the wise men of Edom with stupidity. The mightiest soldiers of Teman [east of Idumea, descendants of a grandson of Esau] shall be confused so that everyone of the mount of Esau will be cut off by slaughter. Because of your violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you will be cut off forever".
This little Book of Obadiah is a compound prophecy of events that transpired under Nebuchadnezzar, and what will happen soon. For in verses 15 and 18 we read, "The day of vengeance will soon fall upon all the heathen: as you have done to Israel, so shall it be done to you. Your dealing will return upon your own head . . . Israel shall be a fire that sets the dry fields of Edom aflame, and there shall be no survivors of the house of Esau. Thus saith the Lord."
The last book of the Old Testament also points to Esau/Edom as Jacob/Israel's mortal enemy and the focus of God's indignation forever. Malachi 1:2-5, "I have loved you deeply, says the Lord to Israel. Yet you say, In what way, and how have you loved us?"
"The Lord replied, I showed My love for you by loving Jacob, your father yet I did not need to. I even rejected his brother Esau, and destroyed his mountains, giving his inheritance to the jackals of the desert." [After World War II, Political Zionists, led by extremists, seized control in Palestine. The impoverishment of the displaced European Jews provided them a powerful lever]. "Edom said, Although we are impoverished, we will return and rebuild the ruins. But thus saith the Lord, They shall build but I will destroy it, for their country is called, "The Land of Wickedness," and the people, "Those Whom God Does Not Forgive" (Exodus 17:16; Numbers 24:20).
"When your own eyes see this, you will say, The Lord is great and will be magnified beyond the border of Israel." Oh my, they will recognize their Messiah, like Joseph, has taken a Gentile Bride and multiplied (Genesis 9:27).
Palestine was given by God to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—the whole House of Israel, "forever." Observe what He says here: "Edom/Esau shall build, but I will destroy." So the real restoration is yet to come. And those rebuilding in Israel today are not God's people.
One last witness that speaks of the day of the Lord is Isaiah 34:5, where God calls Idumea, which is Esau/Edom, "the people of My curse." The Hebrew word for curse is "cherem" meaning something devoted to utter destruction as an affront to God's holiness. We have followed the trail of the serpent from the original sin in the Garden of Eden (which was adultery between Eve and the Devil-incarnate Serpent, whose seed was Cain), to "the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompense for what Esau/Edom has done to Israel" (Isaiah 34:7). By intermarrying with the Serpent's seed people of the land of Canaan, Esau/Edom became Serpent's seed. And John Hyrcanus forcibly converted Esau/Edom to Judaism. Today they form the great majority of so-called "Jews," and are still killing Jacob/Israel to gain the dominion, notably by the taxpayer-funded military might of "the coalition of the willing" apostate (once) Christian nations ignorantly seeking to genocide the children of Jacob in exile in the now Muslim lands of the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian Empires.
Now I'll ask you please to open your Bibles at Ezekiel 38. Of all the ancient names mentioned in the Old Testament, "Gog" has to be one of the most inscrutable. Apart from a Reubenite of this name (I Chronicles 5:4), the word is mentioned only in Ezekiel 38 and 39 and in Revelation 20:7-9.
A traveller of the thirteenth century called a Tartar chief, "Gog Khan." "Gog" means "to surmount" and denotes one who sets himself like the roof in the midst of heaven and earth, between God and men. Gog leads Magog, which represents a whole complex of nations under his subjection as vassals.
Up to this point Ezekiel 35-37 have described the gathering of the whole house of Jacob/Israel to the Promised Land in unbelief among a mixed multitude, of their sanctification and God's revelation to the elect 144,000 in the judgment of Esau/Edom. Clearly there is a connection between Esau/Edom and "Gog." In Gog the earlier enemies of Israel reappear.
In Ezekiel 38:17 and 39:8 we see references to a prophesied event in Ezekiel 39:22—the execution of God's judgment on the heathen and His "parousia" to Israel. And in Ezekiel 35:14-15 God says, "When the whole earth rejoices, then I will make mount Seir and Idumea desolate."
Clearly there is a connection between Esau/Edom and "Gog." A clue is found in Ezekiel 38:17 where the Lord says, "Are you he of whom I've spoken unceasingly in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel?" This is retrospective and takes in the entire sequence of prophetic witness from Moses to the time of writing (587BC), and states how this unfulfilled prophecy will be fulfilled in Gog in the end time.
Gog is Esau/Edom, the self-styled Jew and Israel's enemy, that has rejected the dominion of God's spoken Word since Esau despised the birthright, and contended with Jacob/Israel for world dominion ever since.
Ezekiel 39:8 says that in the day when God destroys the armies of Magog, He will reveal Himself to Israel, and the heathen too shall know He's with Israel. "This is the promised day of visitation".
Ezekiel 39:21-22, "I will demonstrate My glory among the heathen, and all shall see My judgment upon Gog and know that I have done it. And from that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God" (An Exposition of the Sven Church Ages, p. 40:2).
Gog's terrible invasion had been predicted long ago by the earlier prophets, but his name had not been specified. God now identifies Gog with the people spoken of in those former prophecies.
The prophecies of the "former days" include:-
Isaiah 34:5-6 which calls for utter destruction upon the armies of all the nations in this final battle, names Esau/Edom, saying, "My sword shall be bathed in heaven [casting-out Satan and his demons—Revelation 12:8-9], then fall upon Idumea, the descendants of Esau, whom I have cursed to judgment. My sword will be filled with his blood and made fat by his flesh as though I were slaying lambs and goats for sacrifice, for the Lord will slay a great sacrifice in Bozrah [capital of Edom, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea."
Isaiah 63:1, "Who is this Who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? One glorious in His apparel, striding triumphantly in the greatness of His might? I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save."
Joel 3:9-21 speaking of this last war says in verse 19, "Esau/Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, because of their violence against the children of Judah, and because they have shed innocent blood in their land."
These Scriptures identify the people described by the prophets in former days as opposing Israel and the Lord, with "Gog." Many have taken "Gog" to mean Russia, but such a suggestion should enjoy the full support of Scripture. Persia (Elam), Ethiopia (Cush) and Libya (Phut) were literal people, as were Magog, Meshech, Tubal, Gomer and Togarmah (Ezekiel 38:2, 5-6). So Gog, their chief ruler or "king of kings" must also be an historic person and race. There is no Bible reference that would identify the Russians with "He of whom God spoke in former days." The Tsarist regime did not begin until the first Tsar, Ivan IV, conquered and annexed the adjoining countries, in consequence of which, a Russian confederation was formed. Prior to the sixteenth century, Russia was not a composite national entity and could not have been the entity of which the Lord spoke "in former days by the prophets of Israel." But there was a people of Mongol-Turko origin whose kingdom was in the Caucasus above Georgia in what became Southern Russia who were converted to Talmudic Judaism in AD740. These people are Hittites, like Esau/Edom. They overcame Russia and are the people spoken of by the former prophets who will come from the north. After AD765, their empire ceased, and as their political independence waned to extinction, this Asiatic mixture began to migrate. While history writes-off the Khazars following a joint Byzantine-Rus defeat in AD1016, they constituted the largest group of Jewish people at that time. They had already begun to establish themselves in the north. We read of a group coming to Kiev in AD986 in a misguided attempt to convert Vladimir. According to Poliak, "The popular Jewish legend doesn't remember a "Khazar" kingdom but a kingdom of the "Red Jews" (Khazaria—The History of a Jewish Kingdom in Europe (Hebrew) Mossad Bialik, Tel Aviv, 1951).
Baron writes, "Jews of other lands were flattered by the existence of an independent Jewish state. Popular imagination found here a particularly fertile field. Just as the Biblically-minded Slavonic epics speak of "Jews" rather than Khazars, so did western Jews long after romantic tales around those "Red Jews," so styled because of the slight Mongolian pigmentation of many Khazars" (A Social and Religious History of the Jews, Vol. III, p. 204; Vol. IV, pp. 202-4 and notes, New York, 1957).
In 1917, the Khazars successfully invaded Russia from the United States and took control in a bloody revolution. They were financed by Khazar bankers in New York, London and Europe who thus extended their colonies beyond the US and nominally British Empire into Europe and Asia.
The National Geographic Magazine, (Vol. XVIII, May, 1907, p. 314), says of the 1905 Russian Revolution, ". . . the revolutionary leaders nearly all belonged to the Jewish race, and the most effective revolutionary agency is the Jewish Bund."
The American Hebrew Magazine, (September 10, 1920) said that the 1917 "Bolshevist revolution in Russia was the work of Jewish brains, of Jewish dissatisfaction, of Jewish planning, whose goal is to create a new order of the world."
The Union of American Hebrew Congregations published "Jew and Non-Jew" by Martin A. Meyer which states, "Socialism was originated by Jews; and today Jews play a leading role in its spread and interpretation."
The Jewish Encyclopedia (1905, Vol. XI, p. 418) states, "Jews have been prominently identified with the modern Socialist movement from its very inception."
The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia (Vol. IX, 1943) says under Soviet Russia: "The majority of Jewish radicals adhered to democratic socialism" (p. 668).
The Jewish Chronicle (April 4, 1919) said, "There is much in the fact that so many Jews are Bolsheviks, in the fact that the ideals of Bolshevism are at many points consonant with the finest ideals of Judaism."
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise is quoted in The American Bulletin (May 15, 1935) as saying, "Some call it Marxism—I call it Judaism."
"Communism and Judaism are one and the same" (Hilary Cotter, Cardinal Mindszenty, The Truth About His Real "Crime," p. 6).
In his book, "Stalin, Trotsky, or Lenin" (p. 414, 1937), George Marlen stated: "If the tide of history does not turn toward Communist Internationalism then the Jewish race is doomed."
Harry Watson wrote in "A Program for the Jews and an Answer to all Anti-Semites" (p. 148, 1939): "It is not an accident that Judaism gave birth to Marxism, and it is not an accident that the Jews readily took up Marxism, all that is in perfect accord with the progress of Judaism and the Jews."
"After all, wasn't the revolution prepared and fashioned by Jews? Both of Karl Marx' (Mordecai) grandfathers were rabbis, and Lenin's grandfather was also Jewish. And wasn't Kakov Sverdlov, the first Chief of State, a Jew, as was Trotsky himself?" (Stuart Kahan, Wolf In The Kremlin, p. 81, 1987).
I contend upon the evidence of Scripture, history, and THUS SAITH THE LORD of the prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7, that the people who invaded Russia are Esau/Edom, the ancient enemy of Jacob/Israel. Ezekiel, Jesus and John called them "Gog." Daniel called Gog, the king of the North, the leader of the Confederation of Soviet Republics, who will also lead the kings of the East. Gog is Russia. Not the Russian people themselves, but their foreign Zionist-Communist rulers. Every US citizen must know Gog, because American taxpayers have funded Communist Russia for seventy years through the Ford Foundation, Carnegie Endowment Fund and many other tax-exempt trusts and foundations, shanghaied off Wall Street over the years by Esau/Edom.
Brother Branham said, "What made Russia Communist is the weakness of the Catholic church there, that took all the money from the people and gave them nothing back. They didn't live any different lives or everything else. That's what's turning the whole world to be Communist. That's right." (Show Us the Father, #62-0722).
"They say Communism will go take the world over. Don't you believe that. Communism ain't going to do nothing. Show me one place in the Bible where Communism will ever take over. The Bible says Romanism will take over, not Communism. Look at Daniel's vision. Not Communism, it's a puppet in God's hands to destroy Romanism. You fear that, not Communism" (It is I, Be Not Afraid, #62-0726). "Why is Communism coming? Why is the world being swallowed up? Why could one percent of Russia (that's all that's Communist), ninety-nine percent is still Christian. One percent of Russia controls the rest of the eastern world: Communism. Why can it do it? The Bible said it would" (We Have Seen His Star and Have Come to Worship Him, p. 25:166).
And Communism has already conquered the West. Noam Chomsky said, "People don't know what's happening, and they don't even know that they don't know." For instance, how many Americans are aware that all US Presidents from Woodrow Wilson have been Communists? Oh not saying card-carrying Party Members, but they were controlled by Zionists, and Jewish-led Think Tanks, like the CFR and Trilateral Commission that dictated their policies, which are all Communist in principle. Globalism and internationalism is Communism.
In Australia most of our post-War Prime Ministers have been Fabian Communists. Not members of the Fabian Society, but their policies are Fabian Communist, including those of John Howard. Communism is not a Party, it is the spirit of egalitarianism which must lead to anarchy. It is the absurd claim of Thomas Jefferson that "all men are created equal." But Communism, wherever it was forced upon people, has proved George Orwell's Animal Farm correct in that "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." The Bible calls Communism "Laodicea," which means "rights of the people". Our Hegelian sham democracies, the mental conditioning and programming corps we call schools and universities, dirty entertainments, anti-Christian churches and big business, are imbued with the spirit of Communism and the Talmud which are "enmity" against God's Bible. No longer are there any absolutes. He who dares wins, and the Devil take the hindmost. Nowhere is this more evident than in attempts by corporations to make the rules by which we live.
The Money Power elites are trying to reorganize global economic structures and political power. Their primary tools are the trade accords, including GATT and the World Trade Organization which was created to enforce GATT's rules, NAFTA, and the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI).
The same people who brought us GATT and NAFTA were locked in secret negotiations conspiring with our elected representatives since 1995 to push an agreement on the MAI. The press, consumer and democracy groups, environmentalists, small businesses, labour, and other NGOs were excluded.
Professor Marjorie Cohen (Simon Fraser University) said, "The MAI was designed solely to discipline nations in the interests of the one class which enjoys world citizenship—the international investor" (Hearings on the MAI Panel on Corporate, Consumer and Social Implications, Ottawa, November 26, 1997). These people have world citizenship but no inheritance in this world or in the World to come (Genesis 4:9-11). The swine even suggested that signing the MAI should become a precondition to any IMF assistance or even overseas aid. The new face of colonialism.
When WTO Director-General Renato Ruggiero called the MAI "the Constitution for a single global economy," he meant a world where the rules are not made by elected officials, labour unions, or the democratic process. The rules would be made by investors, speculators, and multinational corporations whose only interests are profit and acquisition. But most lawmakers had never heard of the Multilateral Agreement on Investment." Neither had the vast majority of our citizens.
Communism is Zionism, which is identified with Esau/Edom. God has allowed this ungodliness to raise up to destroy the false Church. And it will, but it will annihilate itself and destroy all life on earth in the process.
Jacob and Esau struggled in the womb. At birth, when Jacob grabbed Esau by the heel, it showed Jacob/Israel would overcome when he prevailed with the Angel of the Lord, and that he would also overcome his adversary. We've identified Esau/Edom and seen how he rules by his propaganda against the Word of God; by his bloodshed, and by his corrupt Money Power. But what of Jacob/Israel? Who is he?
Spiritually Jacob/Israel is the True and elect Church of the Lord Jesus. Those who recognized Christ's "parousia" Coming in this day, and have His Life on display for all to see. The earthly Bride of the Heavenly Bride Groom, made-up of both Hebrews and Gentiles. And very, very few in number. Perhaps hundreds out of all the hundreds of thousands who follow this end-time Message. Maybe less. By the grace of God, you and I are among that little flock called Spiritual Israel.
Shortly after the end of Grace, Christ will translate His precious Bride, and take Her Home. After the Wedding Supper He'll return in the Tribulation to reveal Himself to Jacob, who is natural Israel.
Jacob or natural Israel is born of the pure blood-line all the way from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, with absolutely no miscegenation in the line of the Serpent. Although unconverted, he will return to the Land of the Covenant in obedience to the Law and the prophets, awaiting Elijah and the other prophet of Zechariah 4, to introduce his Messiah.
During the tribulation, the revelation of the Message of these two prophets will convert Jacob and his name will become Israel. After this, Esau/Edom will kill all 144,000 elect Israelites. Armageddon will set in, destroying life on earth, then Satan will be bound for a thousand years, because all of his subjects will be in the grave until the general resurrection. Thereafter the trail of the serpent will be forever cut off before the White Throne Judgment.

When William Branham [(1909 – 1965), an ordained Baptist minister who had a significant international healing ministry from May 1947 until around 1955] came on the scene, he was the only one who had a genuine healing ministry at that time. Even the Jeffreys brothers from Great Britain had passed the peak of their ministry which was in the late 1930's. 
[ags: At the age of seven, the Angel of the Lord spoke to Brother Branham from a whirlwind in a bush, "Never drink, smoke, or defile your body in any way; there will be a work for you to do when you get older." Two weeks later he was playing marbles with his little brother when a strange feeling came upon him. Thinking he was ill, he sat down by the side of a tree and looked down on the Ohio River: he saw a great bridge cross the river where there was no bridge, and sixteen men fall from the bridge and drown. He had seen a vision. The municipal bridge was built twenty-two years later and sixteen men perished in its construction. The pylons on the Indiana side of the river are surmounted by a light over an eagle beneath this in bas-relief a man lays the axe to the root of a tree. As John the Baptist foreran Christ's first Coming, Brother Branham's Message introduced His second Coming and called God's people out from the world church system "into the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God" and the great translation (Matthew 25:6; Romans 8:19; Ephesians 1:10; 4:13; I Thessalonians 4:16a). 
God is Light, in Genesis 18 He veiled Himself behind the flesh of a created Man and proved He was the Word by "discerning the thoughts and intents of Abraham and Sarah's hearts" (Hebrews 4:12). In Gospel days He veiled Himself behind the virgin-born flesh of Jesus and proved by the same sign that He was the Word, and in this Sodom age He was veiled behind the flesh of William Branham a sinner-saved-by-grace, and revealed the Son of man, "Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday and today and forever" by the same sign "as it was in the days of Lot" (Luke 17:28-30). The eagle signifies the Living Creature that called Christ's end-time Bride to see the revelation of the Fourth and final Seal of Redemption in 1963 (Revelation 6:7-8) after the close of the Laodicean Church Age (1906-1963). The eagle also types God's prophets. Brother Branham was anointed with the same Spirit that endued Elijah, Elisha, and John the Baptist who laid the axe to the false spiritual principles as did his successor (Amos 3:7; Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 17:11; Revelation 1:3; 10:7; 18:4)]. 
[ags: Neither Brother Dick Leggatt the interviewer, nor Brother Baxter understood that the purpose of Supernatural healings and the multiplication of bread and fishes in the early years of the ministries of Brother Branham and our Lord Jesus, was to arouse consciousness of the Presence of God so that they would have eager listeners when it came time for them to deliver their divine Message. The Lord God instructed His Prophet to "Preach the Word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will gather teachers for themselves after their own lusts; and turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables. But you be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry" (II Timothy 4:2-5). That time came in 1963 with the apostasy prophesied in these Scriptures: Luke 18:8, Romans 11:32, II Thessalonians 2:1-12 and Revelation 3:15-17. The churches all rejected the revelation, which was to reject Christ the Word and crucify Him afresh. Like John the Baptist, Brother Branham's ministry came to a close when his commission was fulfilled: God took his life to ensure believers followed the Message (which is Christ the Word) and not the messenger as in Acts 19:1-5]. 
Brother Baxter was a Pentecostal or Laodicean for whom it was not needful as it is essential for us to understand and receive the Scriptural correction that restored the apostolic faith and the
