Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
This week Brother F. F. Bosworth presents a further witness of the healing power of Almighty God in the ministry of Brother Branham. His testimony was first published in "The Voice of Healing" in 1950. The news items in this issue contain some important background concerning the unfolding of Lucifer's totalitarian one world government. And, this week there have been earthquakes, and as I write, 28 volcanoes are erupting "in divers places" as dispersed as Mount Etna, Mount Saint Helens, and Huila in Colombia. There are 85 Active Volcanos listed in the world. Meanwhile, a global dust storm on Mars which began in late June refuses to die down. Clouds of dust are now visible in mid-sized backyard telescopes.
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.
Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony Grigor-Scott

Christian Evangelism - Threat to Jewish Survival?
July 20, 2007 – Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, in Rome for meetings with Vatican officials, issued the following statement: "We are extremely disappointed and deeply offended that nearly 40 years after the Vatican rightly removed insulting anti-Jewish language from the Good Friday liturgy, that it would now permit Catholics to utter such hurtful and insulting words by praying for Jews to be converted. This is a theological setback in the religious life of Catholics and a body blow to Catholic-Jewish relations. It is the wrong decision at the wrong time."
"It appears the Vatican has chosen to satisfy a right-wing faction in the Church that rejects change and reconciliation."
ADL noted that in 1959, Pope John XXIII removed the term "perfidious Jews" from the controversial Good Friday Latin Mass. In the 1970 Missal of Paul VI, which is currently used, the prayer for the conversion of Jews was replaced by a positive prayer recognizing the Jews' eternal covenant with God, a principle to which Pope John Paul II was deeply committed.

Comment: Chutzpah Mr. Foxman! Pope John XXIII, alias Angelo Roncalli, was a Jew (The Broken Cross by Piers Compton, p. 59), as was Pope John Paul II, alias Karol Jozef Wojtyla. The Judaeo-Roman church was organized by Jews as an anti-Christ front at the Hegelian dialectic of the First Nicea Council. It is the right-wing God in Isaac and Moses (Genesis 3:15; 4:14; 27:41), in Amos 3:3, in Matthew, John and Jesus Christ (Matthew 23:33-35; John 8:44; Revelation 2:9; 3:9; 18:24) "that rejects change and reconciliation".
A notice appearing in The Australian Jewish News (Melbourne Edition, Volume 62 #43, p. 9) stated emphatically: "CHRISTIANS have to make a choice—either retain their present belief system and be antisemitic or form a partnership with the Jewish people. . . As long as Christians keep Jesus as God, they will be antisemitic because that belief must lead them to believe that those who reject Jesus reject God. . ."
If Mr. Foxman read the Old or New Testament, history or any Jewish encyclopedia, he would know Jews are generally not Semitic, and that "the Jews' eternal covenant with God" is Malachi 1:1-4; Isaiah 34; 63. His Jewish-controlled news media daily affirms the anti-Semitic aggression of Jews throughout the world.
July 26, 2007 – Today, the conflict continues. It matters to us all, whatever faith we hold. As organized Jewry and the ADL hate laws agenda gains political and social power, its ability to silence Christianity—and other systems of "idolatry"—will increase. If one group can be silenced and imprisoned, so can others. The USA's great miracle is astonishing, unprecedented freedom borne from our forebear's Christian convictions. It's up to us to preserve the liberty of their just laws. This liberty crucially makes space even for the most unpopular beliefs. . . Full story: rense.com
Comment: Daniel 9:26-27, "After threescore and two weeks of years Messiah shall be murdered although he is without guilt: and the armies of Roman General Titus that shall come will destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with an overwhelming military overthrow, and desolations are determined unto the end of the times of the Gentiles [which will be the consummation of all life] (Daniel 7:19-26). And Rome shall confirm a treaty with the Judeans for one week of years: and in the midst of the week he will cause the sacrifice and the oblation [the Jews have restored] to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate" (Matthew 23:38; Revelation 14:10; 19:20; 20:10).
Rome's action declares the seed of her forthcoming breach of treaty with the International Jews, and Judaeo-Communist retaliation in the nuclear destruction of Vatican City (Revelation 18).
In Mr. Foxman's Bible, Jeremiah, Daniel and Jesus Messiah state Judea will be ruled by a non-Israelites from the time of the Captivity to the consummation of life on earth. This establishes that the so-called Jews ruling Israel today are Gentile impersonators and confirms Isaiah 9:16.

Case Law and the Lord God
This statement was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School, Kingston, Tennessee, by school Principal, Jody McLeod.
"It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country. Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. (The curse of an honest man - Ed)! As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it "an alternate lifestyle," and if someone is offended, that's OK.
I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, "safe sex." If someone is offended, that's OK. I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a "viable! means of birth control." If someone is offended, no problem. . .
I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess "Mother Earth" and call it "ecology."
I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment."
However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to Bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated.
This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical. Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments.
Nevertheless, as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical. . . I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression. For this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," and refrain from praying at this time.
However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM,in the name of JESUS, to Bless this event, please feel free to do so. As far as I know, that's not against the law — yet."
One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray. They prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer's Box! The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court of the United States of America — the Seat of "Justice" in the "one nation, under GOD."
Somehow, Kingston, Tennessee Remembered what so many have forgotten. We are given the Freedom OF Religion, not the Freedom FROM Religion. Praise GOD that HIS remnant remains! JESUS said, "If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of you before MY FATHER".

The True Story of 9/11
July 22, 2007 – Most Americans weren't aware of the threat of Islamic fundamentalism before the "terrorist attack" on September 11, 2001. Where did the radical Islamic movement come from? When did it begin? The modern-day Islamic movement originated in 1977 when the CIA began funding the rebel organization trying to destabilize the communist government that ruled Afghanistan. . . Saudi Arabia, Pakistani Intelligence (the ISI), and the CIA recruited Moslem soldiers from Islamic countries, and paid them to fight the Soviet invasion. The men were trained in terrorist tactics, they were given copies of the Koran and told about the importance of Islamic Jihad. In an effort to insure the success of the effort to promote radical Islam, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) paid $51 million to have Islamic text books printed that stressed the importance of Jihad, and killing Infidels. . .
I don't believe Zbigniew Brzezinski was concerned about the Soviet threat because he understands the conflict between the US and the USSR is contrived to divert attention from our true enemy, the CFR and TC Globalists who want to end the sovereignty of our nation. I believe Brzezinski planned the current conflict in the Middle East because he wants to bankrupt the United States, and create a world government. . . Did the CFR - TC create the Islamic terrorist movement to justify their effort to monitor and control the American people? . . Full story: newswithviews.com
Comment: Here is a further indication the "satire," Report from Iron Mountain on the Possibility and Desirability of Peace was in fact "the revelation of the method."
General Sir Richard Dannatt, chief of general staff says "Britain is almost running out of troops to defend the country or fight in military operations abroad." In the looming catastrophe the West will have only the nuclear option; Rome will rule.

Is Javier Solana going to speak for EU at UN?
July 21, 2007 – Great Britain may soon surrender its permanent Security Council seat at the UN to the European Union's Javier Solana. . . Since October 1999, Solana has headed European foreign and military policy. He also serves as Secretary General of the European Union Council of Ministers. Also, since November 20, 1999, Solana has headed the Western European Union, a ten permanent member military federation. That was to have been a "temporary" one year stint, but I cynically note that the "year" has lasted a very long time and that job is still in existence. Solana uses the WEU job for holding military-industrial confabs that might not be as non-controversially available to him in other venues. Since assuming his initial EU governmental roles, his powers have steadily grown. He now is playing an obviously prominent role in "global governance" as well. . .
Solana's first EU positions, apart from the rotating jobs he held before taking over NATO in December 1995 were, Secretary General of the Council of Ministers of the European Union; Office of the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union, were created by the EU Council of Ministers in December 1998 with the curiously numbered Europa codified Section 666. His job is indexed at Europa under that number. As many who have followed my previous writings about Dr. Solana (he holds a University of Virginia physics doctorate) know, after receiving these powers he used his Western European Union seat to propose even more, also curiously named and numbered "Recommendation 666". . .

In his article published in The Taipei Times (February 21, 2006), CFR president Richard Haass (Rhodes scholar) wrote that "Globalization implies that sovereignty is not only becoming weaker in reality, but that it needs to become weaker. . . States must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies if the international system is to function. . .Necessity may also lead to reducing or even eliminating sovereignty when a government, whether from a lack of capacity or conscious policy, is unable to provide for the basic needs of its citizens. . . This could occur if a nation falls into chaos, and on NBC Nightly News, July 20, 2007, Haass said that Gen. Pervez Musharraf may soon fall from leadership in Pakistan. Haass said he hoped the Pakistani military (thesis) would compromise (synthesis) with the secular civilian leadership (antithesis) to take on the religious extremist Muslims in Waziristan of northwest Pakistan, which is becoming a haven for al Qaeda. Is this the power elite’s model — military and secular versus religious? Or does the power elite know the Muslim backlash to such action would throw the nation into chaos, requiring international intervention? The power elite goal of world government is often pursued by taking actions that create chaos (e.g., Yugoslavia, Iraq, etc.) to require or maintain foreign intervention, which undermines national sovereignty. . .

Comment: Brother Branham said, "When we see all the eastern and middle eastern powers, when we see the eastern and western world again uniting, see them two feet in Daniel's vision. See? It's just repeating again, and it's a revival of the old Roman empire, coming up as certain as I'm standing here. It's true. It's time for Daniels to rise. It's time for people who will purpose in their heart that they'll live true to God, and to the Holy Spirit, and to the principles of the Bible, regardless of what the rest of the world says" (Handwriting on the Wall, p. 13:90).

Bush Threatens Attacks in Pakistan
Islamabad, July 19/26, 2007 – An ambush of a military convoy that killed 17 troops near the Afghan border Wednesday pushed the death toll in a series of attacks to at least 101 Pakistanis in the past five days — and brought President Pervez Musharraf, according to a local newspaper headline, to a "Moment of Truth."
The Bush administration, after publicly demanding that Musharraf rein in militants linked to al Qaida, on Wednesday threatened to launch attacks into Pakistani territory if it sees fit. "We certainly do not rule out options, and we retain the option especially of striking actionable targets," said White House spokesman Tony Snow. "But it is clearly of the utmost importance to go in there and deal with the problem in the tribal areas". . .
A large Pakistani military operation in the tribal regions, coupled with American officials' calls for action, could lead many Pakistanis to believe that Musharraf is acting as a US surrogate, said analysts and officials in Islamabad. That in turn, they said, would make it easier for radical Islamists to legitimize terrorist attacks as strikes against a Western conspiracy to control an Islamic state.
"The US lawmakers are absolutely oblivious of the ground realities," said Gul, the retired general. But, Gul said, Musharraf's political base has been badly shaken recently — by the controversial suspension of the Supreme Court's chief justice, and then the mosque raid — and he might bend to American pressure to launch large-scale military strikes in the border region. . .

Peshawar, July 20, 2007 – The wave of violence that has gripped Pakistan in recent days spread to new parts of the country and featured more ferocious tactics Thursday, with suicide bombers targeting a mosque, a police academy and a convoy of Chinese engineers in attacks that killed more than 50 people.
The strikes yielded the highest single-day death toll since the government stormed the Red Mosque in Islamabad last week. More than 120 people died during the standoff at the mosque, and more than 160 have been killed in the attacks that have followed.
The severity of the violence has stunned Pakistanis. . . Full story: truthout.org

The Crash of 1929: Are We on the Verge of a Repeat?
July 26 2007 – [A senior adviser to President Bush] said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality - judiciously, as you will - we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors ... and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do." - Ron Suskind, "Without a Doubt," New York Times
News flash: The American economy is a hyperreality engineered by Ph.D.s working hand-in-hand with colluding media multinationals, political officials and some of the biggest names in business — and the banks that invest in them. In other news, greed is still good. . .
The recent implosion of the subprime housing market — in which people with little or no significant savings of their own are offered huge loans for little or no money down for houses often but not always located in fast-track developments — shares similarities with the junk bond burnout of the 1980s. . . same scam, different name. But this time the outlook is worse. For one, the subprime housing implosion has been a disaster for the market as a whole. . .
For those who don't know how hedge funds work, consider the casino table favorite known as craps. . . naked shorts are a final confirmation that hyperreality has been with us as long as the Bible. They are virtual transactions, ones that never actually occur. . . Throw in the fact that Rupert Murdoch is set to take over the Wall Street Journal, the paper of record for these subjects and scams, and you have more of the same reality programming. . .

Keep the Internet Tax Free!
In 1998 congress passed the Internet Tax Freedom Act to promote commercial, educational and informational potential of the Internet. The Act stopped Federal, state and local governments from taxing Internet access, bit taxes, bandwidth taxes and email taxes.
The Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007 will stop the necessity of having to continue to extend the Internet Tax Freedom Act which has gone on now since 1998. The Act is due to expire this November. Several Senators have proposed to extend the Tax Freedom Act permanently. Let them know you agree and Sign the Petition.

Microchips mulled for HIV Carriers in Indonesia's Papua
July 24, 2007 – Lawmakers in Indonesia's Papua are mulling the selective use of chip implants in HIV carriers to monitor their behaviour in a bid to keep them from infecting others, a doctor said Tuesday.
John Manangsang, a doctor who is helping to prepare a new healthcare regulation bill for Papua's provincial parliament, said that unusual measures were needed to combat the virus. . . Full story: breitbart.com

As it was in the Days of Noah
"Lady Blue" was moored at the jetty. Safely, as ever. The river currents were gentle. Always calm. But tonight there was fear in the air. The earth was still shaking. This had never happened before. All day this had been going on.
Lightning was still leaping from earth to sky. There was a fiendish crackling. Scary.
Throughout the country, top scientists were being asked, "What does it mean? Could old Noah Lamechson be right, after all?"
The experts, true to character, spoke soothingly to the public, "Yes, it is unusual. But there's quite a plausible explanation; in fact, we're having a high level conference about it tomorrow."
Twenty-eight days later, the world was dead. Rain was pouring, blowing and crashing from the heavens. Volcanoes expelled deadly fumes. Skyscraper-high waves, whipped up by screaming hurricanes, clawed at the mountains.
"Lady Blue", her mast ripped off, was being rocketed forever under water, in a fast-moving current of suspended mud and sand. This was "Lady Blue's" first and last voyage under the earth. She stopped suddenly. The rubble continued to pile above her. Recently she was found — fossilised. Miners ran into her, as they dug deep inside the earth. I'll mention that discovery again soon.
SHIPS COVERED BY MOUNTAINS
Have you heard about these? The buried remains of large, well-formed boats or ships, have been found in a number of places, actually — either in solid stone or at remarkable depths underground.
In Switzerland, for example (B. Fregoso, De dictis factisqi Memorabilibus Collectanea. Medoliani, 1509, np). Also in Russia. (P.J. Strahlenberg, A Historico-description of the Northern Part of North and Eastern Europe and Asia. London, 1738, p. 462; 405). And in Africa. (General Literature and Miscellaneous Communications: no 17 "Ship Discovered in the Earth in Africa", 1818, QJI Lit. Sci. Arts. Lond, vol. V, p.150).
The Swiss discovery occurred in 1460 when miners were digging for metals in the canton of Berne. The ship was buried 100 feet deep inside the mountain. They also unearthed an anchor of iron. But what horrified these miners more than anything else was the bizarre sight among the ship's timbers of the bones and skulls of forty men.
WARNINGS - AND SKEPTICISM
You know, as humans we are notoriously skeptical of warnings. It seems we have an ingrained reluctance to believe messengers of doom, as we like to call them. Can you imagine the uproarious laughter when that crazy eccentric Noah Lamechson first told his fellow citizens that he was preparing a survival vessel?
And why? Because there was soon to be global destruction — by water!
"Oh, come off it!" Can you hear the scientific gurus mocking? "Everyone knows there's not enough water on earth to do that."
"Anyway, we have boats," you hear others soothing their peers. "We can save ourselves."
THE UNEXPECTED STRIKES
And then it happened.
The tilting of the planet's axis occurred suddenly, bringing terrific stresses upon the earth's surface, enough to shatter and dislocate it beyond description. The whole globe shuddered. Whatever the catalyst, it was of TITANIC POWER.
The same external force that tipped the earth over, generated high speed ultra-vibrations within the earth. It disrupted the designed balance within the earth, unleashing a literal thermonuclear meltdown. Huge amounts of water were encased under the earth's granite crust. Now this water began heating rapidly, the heat adding to pressure, which added to heat, and more pressure. And in a matter of minutes something had to give. The pressure build-up became enormous. And the earth's granite crust exploded. The waters, under super-pressure, began to rip the earth apart at the seams.
A CRACK APPEARS
At first, there appeared a microscopic crack, which grew in both directions. At the speed of about 2½ miles a second, following the path of least resistance, the crack began to move around the earth. It encircled the globe in about eight minutes.
Under great pressure, other cracks were opening up. As these great cracks joined, fire spat out of the earth. In these brief eight minutes the earth was ripped into continents. They were not separated at this time, but simply ripped apart at the seams.
Eruptions would have begun where the granite crust was thinner, probably in the Pacific area.
EARTHQUAKES
With the sudden rupture of the granite crust, the stresses and friction would have been enormous.
The tilting of the earth's axis generated a devastating earthquake.
The original extent of this "great deep" is indicated by the depth of the disturbed layers of the earth today. The earth's stratified layers are, on average, about half a mile (one kilometer) deep.
Some oil fields which have filled these basins have a depth of over 3 miles, while the deepest sediment filling these holes has been measured at 10 miles (16 kilometers). These basins, before the Big Event, were filled with vast amounts of water.
CANOPY COLLAPSES
The earth is believed to have had an enveloping canopy, just as Venus and Jupiter do today. This canopy (transparent, in this case) shielded the earth from deadly comic rays, as well as moderating a sub-tropical climate from pole to pole. Now, with the radioactive balance under the earth disturbed, violent energy was released. Vast amounts of water were suddenly heated to over 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
Under enormous pressure, the water exploded through the granite crust. It was expelled at such force that narrow jets shot 70 miles into the sky. The first hot jets of water would have shot against the canopy. They ripped open holes or windows in the canopy. As the book of Genesis puts it, "the windows of heaven were opened."
The sides of those holes began to collapse.
Soon the entire outer canopy began to disintegrate.
The result: sudden, violent temperature changes. In certain areas, due to the lines of force at the earth's magnetic poles, the canopy would disintegrate as blocks of ice. But universally it would descend as rain. The collapsing canopy poured down in such volume and force, the result was disastrous. This condensing mass of extra water made it possible for torrential rain to fall continuously over the entire earth for six weeks non-stop.
It was at this time that these waters entered our present oceans.
COLOSSAL TIDAL WAVES
And since the daily rotation of the earth was now disturbed, the planet's waters were set into excessive tidal action. Moved by inertia, tidal waves rushed up over the land.
The water that would soon cover the earth was coming from three sources:
the underground basins
the firmament canopy
and thousands of new volcanoes
SHIPS AT SEA
So, as the Deluge sweeps over the land, some ships head out to sea, to escape the carnage.
But — BIG surprise — they are overwhelmed. And the weight of a mountain is piled over them.
And now to Naples, Italy. In the 16th century, after an earthquake split open a mountain, another large ship was found — again, inside the mountain.
Now down to Peru, in South America. About the year 1540, near Callao, Spanish miners were following a vein of gold and silver. And there, deep underground, they were startled to come upon an ancient ship (P. Cieza de Leon, La Cronica del Peru: Part One. Seville, 1553, pp. xxxii and 367)
Ovid likewise speaks of ancient ship anchors found on the tops of the highest mountains. I have seen some myself, at thousands of feet above sea level. It's absolutely true!
Well, it is probably needless to say that if such a devastating event DID occur in our past, then all our conceptions of the history of this earth will have to be revised.
The fact is, there are racial legends worldwide, concerning such an event, in which the stark terror of men and women still lives on. The screams as they stampede to higher ground. A single, small group of survivors, who repopulate the planet.
This is the most widespread and deeply rooted tradition on earth. These global traditions make it crystal-clear that this Great Deluge was no mere Mesopotamian flood.
As many a scientific researcher has found, legends tend to be based on a core of fact. Many an archaeological find has been made from the clues found in such legends. It's not only racial memory. Geological, paleontological and archaeological evidence for this event is embarrassingly abundant.
Could our present scientific establishment be wrong? Could there really have been such a cosmic global disaster as the Great Flood? And was this an re-shaping event far greater than we can ever conceive? (beforeus.com).

Gifts of Healing Plus
By F. F. Bosworth
For more than thirty years during great evangelistic campaigns, I have overworked, praying for the sick and afflicted. During fourteen years of this time, we conducted the National Radio Revival during which we received about a quarter of a million letters, most of them containing prayer requests from sick and suffering people who could not have recovered without the direct action of the Holy Spirit in response to the "prayer of faith". We have received multiple thousands of unsolicited testimonies from those who have been miraculously healed of every bodily affliction I know anything about, including leprosy. To God be all the glory because these results are impossible to anyone but Him. As a result of these miracles, many thousands have been joyfully converted, whom we would have missed had we not preached the healing part of the gospel once a week in all our evangelistic campaigns.
Because this healing ministry has required labor beyond human strength, we have prayed, oh so earnestly, for God to raise up more laborers to help in this so greatly neglected phase of the ministry. And during the past few years, I have often wept for joy over God's recent gift to the Church of our beloved brother, William Branham, with his marvelous "Gift of Healing." This is a case of God doing "exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think" (Ephesians 3:20), for I have never seen or read of anything to equal the healing ministry of William Branham.
AN ANGEL APPEARS
On May 7th, 1946, an Angel who had spoken to Brother Branham in audible voice at intervals from his childhood down to the present time, finally appeared to him, and among other things told him that Christ's Coming was near at hand. And the Heavenly Messenger said: "I am sent from the presence of Almighty God to tell you . . . that God has sent you to take a gift of healing to the peoples of the world".
On page 1291 of the Scofield Bible, Dr. C. I. Scofield, D.D., in his footnote on Angels says: "Though angels are spirits (Psalms 104:4; Hebrews 1:14), power is given them to become visible in the semblance of human form (Genesis 19:1 and many other Scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments). In Exodus 23:20, God said to Moses: 'Behold I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way and to bring thee into the place I have prepared'. And in Genesis 24:40, we read, 'The Lord . . . will send His Angel with thee, and prosper thy way'."
This is exactly what God has done for Brother Branham. He does not begin to pray for the healing of the afflicted in body in the healing line each night, until God anoints him for the operation of the Gift, and until he is conscious of the presence of the Angel with him on the platform. Without this consciousness, he seems to be perfectly helpless.
TWO SIGNS GIVEN
Now notice that God not only sent an Angel to be with Moses, He also gave him two perfect miracles as signs and proofs to the people that God had appeared to him and commissioned him, under divine guidance, to be their deliverer (Exodus 4:1-31). The first sign was that of Moses' rod becoming a serpent, and the second sign was that of putting his hand in his bosom and having it become "as leprous as snow," etc. God said to Moses, "It shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, they will believe the voice of the latter sign" (Exodus 4:8). In the last three verses of this chapter we read that when these two signs were repeated "in the sight of the people, the people believed. . . and they bowed their heads and worshipped".
Just so, in addition to sending an Angel to be with and to prosper Brother Branham, He has also given him two perfectly miraculous signs which have served to raise the faith of thousands of the humanly incurable to the level where the "Gift of Healing" operates.
SUPERNATURAL DIAGNOSIS
The first sign: When the Angel appeared to Brother Branham, he told him how he would be able to detect and diagnose all diseases and afflictions; so that when the gift was operating, by taking the right hand of the patient he would feel various physical vibrations or pulsations which would indicate to him the various diseases from which each patient was suffering. Germ diseases, which indicate the presence and working of an "oppressing" (Acts 10:38) spirit of affliction can be distinctly felt. When the afflicting spirit comes into contact with the gift it sets up such a physical commotion that it becomes visible on Brother Branham's hand, and so real that it will stop his wrist watch instantly. This feels to Brother Branham like taking hold of a live wire with too much electric current in it. When the oppressing spirit is cast out in Jesus' Name, you can see Brother Branham's red and swollen hand return to its normal condition. If the affliction is not a germ disease, then God always reveals the affliction to Brother Branham by the Spirit. This first sign usually raises the faith of the individual to the healing level; but if not, the second sign does.
A SEER
The second sign: The Angel told him that the anointing would cause him to see and enable him to tell the sufferers many of the events of their lives from their childhood down to the present time. He even tells some their thoughts while they are coming to the platform or before they came to the meeting. I heard him say recently to a mother bringing her little girl, "Lady, your child was born deaf and dumb; and as soon as you discovered she could not hear, you took her to the doctor." And then Brother Branham told the mother exactly what the doctor said. The mother said, "That is exactly right." The great audience hears all this over the public address system. Brother Branham actually sees it enacted and pushing the microphone away so the audience won't hear it, he tells the patient any un-confessed and un-forsaken sins in their lives which must be given up before the Gift will operate for their deliverance. As soon as such persons acknowledge and promise to forsake the sin or sins thus revealed, their healing often comes in a moment before Brother Branham has time to pray. These statements by the Angel are verified in the Branham meetings nightly before the eyes of thousands.
Thus the great audiences witness nightly over and over again three distinct types of miracles. The first two do not heal the sufferers, but only serve as signs to raise the faith of the afflicted to the level where the "gift of healing operates for their deliverance." Of course, these two miraculous signs are possible only while the anointing of the Holy Spirit is upon Brother Branham for this purpose.
MORE THAN "GIFTS OF HEALING"
No doubt a few Christians here and there, during the Church Age, and some at the present time have been endowed with the "Gift of Healing" which is listed among the nine spiritual gifts in the 12th Chapter of I Corinthians, each of which is defined as "The manifestation of the Spirit" (I Corinthians 12:7-11). There should be laymen in every church thus endowed.
But Brother Branham is a channel for more than the mere gift of healing; he is also a Seer as were the Old Testament Prophets. He sees events before they take place. I asked him, "What do you mean? How do you see them?" He replied, "Just as I see you; only that I know it is a vision." Just as clearly as one sees material things around them, Brother Branham, while in prayer during the day, sees in vision some of the principal miracles before they take place. He sees some carried in on ambulance cots, or sitting in wheel chairs, and can describe how they look and how they are dressed, etc. While being shown these miracles in advance, he usually becomes, for the time, unconscious of things going on around him. Not once during the more than six years since receiving the gift have these revelations failed to produce prefect miracles exactly as he had already seen them in vision. At these times he can say with absolute certainty, "Thus saith the Lord," and he is never wrong. He told me that he simply acts out what he has already seen himself doing in the vision. The success of this phase of his ministry is exactly 100 per cent.
LOOKING AT THE UNSEEN
When the gift is operating, Brother 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. Under the anointing which operates his spiritual gifts and when he is conscious of the Angel's presence, he seems to break through the veil of the flesh into the world of spirit, and seems to be struck through and through with a sense of the unseen. Paul wrote, "We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal" (II Corinthians 4:18).
Paul's words here indicate that we are now living in two worlds at the same time — the world of sense, and the world of spirit. The world of spirit surrounds, enspheres, and interpenetrates the world of sense. Both worlds occupy the same space at the same time. The material realities which we see with our natural eyes exist in the midst of the far better realities which are unseen by the optic nerve. The Scriptures teach us that the superior "eternal" realities encompass us now. What sights might every one of us see at every moment of our existence, at every turn of our path, had we anointed eyes with which to see them! "The seen" exists in the midst of "the unseen," the "temporal" in the midst of the "eternal".
Paul says, "He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit." While filled with the Holy Spirit, our soul and God's Spirit are blended into one in the same way that the ocean and the bay are one because the ocean flows into the bay. Then it is that the glorious spiritual realities gain the ascendancy and become the most dominant. We see truth and spiritual realities through God's eyes. At such times future events seem to be present like a preview of a coming motion picture attraction. Jesus said that, "The Spirit will show you things to come".
MIRACLES SEEN IN ADVANCE
During a Fort Wayne meeting a lady came into the healing line carrying a child which was born with a club foot which with its leg was in a plaster cast. The moment Brother Branham saw them, without stopping to pray for the child's healing, he said to the lady, "O, yes, will you do what I tell you to do?" The lady answered, "I will." Then he said to her, "Go home and get that cast off, and when you come back tomorrow night, bring the child, and she will have a perfect foot." The microphone carried these words to all in the great audience. It took them more than an hour that night to get the cast off. When the lady brought the child the next night, the child had a perfect foot and was wearing a new pair of little white shoes and was walking. The doctor X-rayed the foot and found it perfect. I asked Brother Branham the next day why he passed the lady and the child through the healing line without praying for the healing of the child. He answered, "It wasn't necessary, for in a vision in the afternoon I saw the child healed." It would make this article too long if I should relate many other cases much more wonderful in detail than this case. This phase of his ministry alone would furnish matter for a book.
In the 5th Chapter of St. John, Jesus says, "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. . . The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do: for what things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise, for the Father loveth the Son and showeth Him all things that Himself doeth." What did Jesus mean? Of course, Jesus was a Seer as were the Old Testament Prophets. He saw His miracles before they happened. He saw the man which had an infirmity 38 years who could not get into the pool when the Angel went down and troubled the water. Jesus came to him and said to him, "Take up thy bed, and walk." Jesus saw Lazarus raised from the dead before He performed the miracle. He said to Nathanael, "Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee" (John 1:48). He saw where the ass colt was tied without being there. He said to two of His disciples: "Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him" (Mark 14:12-16). And the indwelling Christ is now perpetuating His works through human instrumentality according to His promise for this age: "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also. . . because I go to the Father, and whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son" (John 14:12-13).
THE PULL OF FAITH IS FELT
In the case of the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment and was made whole, Jesus said, "I perceive that virtue is gone out of Me" (Luke 8:46). When this became known, we read in Mark 6:55-56, that "Whithersoever He entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought Him that they might touch but the border of His garment: and as many as touched Him were mode whole." Thank God that same virtue is still flowing from the indwelling Christ into the bodies of the sick and afflicted, and they are made whole.
The two sign miracles which God manifests through Brother Branham to raise the faith of those in the healing line to the right level, are given also to raise the faith of the afflicted in the audience to the same level. This faith draws the same virtue from the indwelling Christ who is operating the gift, and heals those sitting in the audience. It makes no difference whether it is your diseases being supernaturally diagnosed, or the person's in the healing line, the signs are the same, and have the same effect on those sitting in the audience. Why should the signs be repeated for each individual who has already seen them? Moses did not repeat his two signs for each individual Israelite. A thousand could witness the demonstration and be caused to believe at the same time. Faith at the right level in any part of the great audience pulls on the virtue in the indwelling Christ, who is operating the gift; and this can't take place without Brother Branham knowing it. He feels it as distinctly as you would if I should pull on your coat, and knows the direction it is coming from; and he even points out the individual whose faith is touching Christ.
One time in the Louisville meeting, while he was praying for the sick on the platform, he felt a steady pull of faith from the audience, and as soon as the pulling ceased, he pointed in that direction and said, "A lady right back there has just been healed of a cancer." And she was.
While reading the Scripture to another audience, he stopped and pointed to a man he never saw before, and said to him, "Brother, your faith has just now healed that running cancer between your knee and your ankle." The cancer dried up on the spot.
While praying for those in the healing line in a Flint meeting, he stopped and pointing up toward the second gallery to his right, said, "I have just now had a vision of a lady dressed in a blue suit wearing a striped waist. She has just been healed of a cancer." The woman sprang to her feet and with great joy said, "I am the lady." Her faith did for her in the second gallery what faith was doing for those on the platform.
A young lady who was born with her eyes crossed and who was attending Bible School in Fort Wayne during the meeting there said to Mrs. Bosworth who was back at the book stand, "I can't see how I can ever get into that healing line, there are so many." Mrs. Bosworth said to her, "You won't need to. You just sit back here and ask God to lift your faith to the healing level, and you will pull from the gift the healing virtue." She did this, and during the service Brother Branham stopped and pointed in her direction and said, "A young lady way back there was just now healed of crossed eyes." Her eyes have been straight ever since.
A young lady was carried into the meeting on a cot. She was dying of leukemia. Both at Johns Hopkins and at the Mayo Clinic she was told that everything possible had been done and that there was no hope of her living. Her mind had begun to give way. I slipped off the platform to her cot and told her to be praying that God would lift her faith to the healing level and that it would either operate the gift or pull Brother Branham down to her. I watched her lips moving in prayer and all at once Brother Branham felt the pull of faith, jumped off the platform and went to her cot, prayed for her, and said, "In Jesus' Name arise from your cot, receive divine strength and be well." She obeyed and with hands uplifted and with tears of joy and worship flowing down her cheeks, she walked back and forth before all the people and down the aisles. Her sister told me afterwards, "My sister is wonderful".
In the great Fair Park Auditorium at Dallas, Texas, one night when the orchestra pit was full of stretcher and wheelchair cases, while Brother Branham was busy praying for those in the healing line, he kept feeling the pull of faith from his right which finally stopped. When he got through with those he was dealing with, he pointed to a man on a cot in the orchestra pit, and said to him, "Man, get up, you have been healed about five minutes." He got up praising God. His wife came to him and they threw their arms around each other and wept for joy together. He had been brought from Chicago in a dying condition with his lungs being eaten up with cancer. He was healed and came to the next meeting in Ft. Wayne a few days later to give his testimony. He has attended two other meetings since. I could go on and on reciting many pages of similar healings of those healed while sitting or lying on stretchers in the audience without Brother Branham ever touching them. All were healed in Peter's shadow without his touching any of them.
NO HARD CASES
There is no such thing as a hard case with God. A lady from Greece who had no opening in her throat entered the prayer line. She could not swallow a single drop of water or any kind of food. As soon as Brother Branham prayed for her she drank a glass of water and ate a candy bar. A night or two later in that same meeting nine deaf and dumb mutes came in the prayer line and all nine were healed.
Those born blind received their sight. After praying for one totally blind man, Brother Branham said to him, "Walk to the pulpit and put your finger on that preacher's nose." He walked straight to the minister and pulled his nose, causing the audience to laugh.
A very noted missionary from Palestine in the last stage of T.B. was brought from Yakima, Washington, in an ambulance to the Civic Auditorium in Seattle, Washington. The government paid his plane fare home. When he was commanded, in Jesus' Name, to rise and be well he did so, and two days later he was doing manual labor around his home.
MASS HEALING
Just as an altar-call or invitation to sinners follows an evangelistic sermon, so after the supernatural diagnosing and healing of those in the prayer line, the invitation is now being given to those in the audience who are prepared to accept their healing.
The healing of one at a time on the platform is only preliminary to the main healing service. It is only an object lesson sermon so to speak to all in the audience who need the benefits of the healing part of the Gospel.
Just as a hundred sinners may respond to the invitation of an evangelist and experience the still greater miracle of the new birth en masse, so it was amazingly demonstrated a few days ago in the Louisville meeting that the sick can be healed en masse by the gift of healing. Brother Branham ventured on this procedure there, inviting those on cots, those in wheel chairs, and the crippled to be brought forward first, and then those who could walk on their crutches and those suffering with cancer and other diseases to come toward the front and stand behind the stretchers and wheel chairs. As they began to surge forward, their faith began to pull on the healing virtue in the gift, and the healing demonstration was beyond anything yet witnessed in a Branham meeting. While on their way forward, Brother Branham pointed rapidly to one after another saying, "Christ has healed you." The people threw their prayer cards into the air, threw down their crutches and those who could not stand or walk sprang to their feet, some of them jumping and praising God for joy. The demonstration was beyond description. One boy in a chair who could not stand or walk, l saw him spring to his feet praising God. A few minutes later, I motioned to him and asked the crowd to make way and let him through to the platform. He walked to the microphone and fairly preached to the weeping audience. The gift operated for mass healing just as it had already done in the healing line where they were healed one at a time. The wife of the pastor of the Church of The Open Door phoned me the next morning that several members of their church were healed in this mass healing service the night before.
SINNERS SURRENDER EN MASSE
And the best of all, sinners are thus brought under conviction for sin and want to be saved. In Romans 15:18-19, Paul speaks of making "the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God. . . from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum." I have seen as many as thirty thousand sinners in a single day stand to their feet in tears to give their hearts to God. No wonder Jesus said, "Into whatsoever city ye enter—heal the sick that are therein".
INVITATIONS FROM ACROSS THE SEA
Quoting Psalms 68:18, the Apostle Paul said in Ephesians 4:8, "When He ascended on high, he led captivity captive and gave gifts unto men." The news of this divine gift to the Church, in three short years has traveled around the world, and many urgent calls are coming from foreign lands and from missionary stations across the seas. Many of these have recently come from various sections in Africa. Some sufferers have been flown over the waters from other countries to the United States to be healed. When Brother Branham visits mission fields I believe there will be the greatest spiritual awakening the Church has witnessed since the first century.
Before closing, I feel that I must say to those who read these lines but who are unable to attend a Branham Meeting, that this need not hinder you too from being healed. Thousands have been miraculously healed through their own prayer. God desires your healing more than it is possible for you to desire it. Jesus died to make it possible. Calvary makes everything which God has promised your personal property. "Every whit whole" is God's will proved and demonstrated to multitudes. Our healing literature together with the "prayer of faith" has brought healing within the grasp of many thousands. A continuous stream of unsolicited testimonies are still coming to us from our radio friends and their acquaintances. My book, "CHRIST THE HEALER," now in its seventh edition (250 pages), contains and explains clearly the Bible truths which have set multitudes free from all manner of humanly incurable bodily afflictions when there was no one present with the gift of healing, not even an elder to pray the prayer of faith. They were healed by simply believing and acting on the Scriptures concerning the healing of their body, in the same way that sinners believe and act on the Scriptures concerning the healing of their soul. My booklet entitled "The Christian Confession," which shows what our affirmations should be for obtaining all redemptive blessings, is working wonders. Its truths, practiced, will bring about the fulfillment of God's promise to heal or to do anything else which He has promised in the Bible.

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are pleased you could join us in fellowship around God's unchanging Word.
This week we will complete our commentary on Brother Branham's Message entitled The Feast of the Trumpets, sincerely trusting our observations will help elucidate believers as to what he was expressing in his introduction to the antitype of this Feast which is to remind Israel of her Covenant and put God in remembrance of His promises (Isaiah 43:22-28).

And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
The Lord will lift up an ensign to gather Israel's dispersed to the Promised Land — a Pillar of Cloud signifying the "parousia" of the Son of man in clouds of glory; the Mosque of Omar smashed without hand, the nations gathered against Israel, and the Supernatural ministry of two prophets in the Spirit and authority of Moses and Elijah (Isaiah 11:12; 18:3; 27:12-13; Matthew 24:30; Revelation 7:1-8).
We are at the end of the Gentile dispensation.
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.

Pope reasserts Primacy of Roman Catholic Church
Lorenzago di Cadore, July 10, 2007 – Pope Benedict XVI has reasserted the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document released Tuesday that says Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian denominations were not true churches.
Benedict approved a document from his old offices at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith that restates church teaching on relations with other Christians. It was the second time in a week the pope has corrected what he says are erroneous interpretations of the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 meetings that modernized the church. . .
It restates key sections of a 2000 document the pope wrote when he was prefect of the congregation, "Dominus Iesus," which set off a firestorm of criticism among Protestant and other Christian denominations because it said they were not true churches but merely ecclesial communities and therefore did not have the "means of salvation."
"Christ 'established here on earth' only one church," the document said. The other communities "cannot be called 'churches' in the proper sense" because they do not have apostolic succession — the ability to trace their bishops back to Christ's original apostles. . .
There was no indication about why the pope felt it necessary to release the document, particularly since his 2000 document summed up the same principles. Some analysts suggested it could be a question of internal church politics, or that it could simply be an indication of Benedict using his office as pope to again stress key doctrinal issues from his time at the congregation.

Hindu Prayer at US Senate sparks Christian Protest
Washington, July 13, 2007 – History was made in the American Congress on Thursday as the US Senate opened its daily session with Hindu prayers.
Former journalist and priest, Rajan Zed wearing the traditional saffron robe, delivered the minute-and-a-half long prayer, which was translated into English as per the rules of the Senate Chaplain. But before the ceremony could begin, a small group of vocal Christian protestors shouted angry slogans from the visitor's gallery right above the Senate floor. . .
Nevada-based Zed has performed similar ceremonies in the State Assembly and Senate and traveled to Washington after getting an invitation from Senator Harry Reid to do the same on Capitol Hill. Full story: ibnlive.com

Putin blocks Russia's Participation in Europe's Key Arms Control Treaty
Moscow, July 14, 2007 – President Vladimir Putin signed a decree suspending Russia's participation in the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty due to "extraordinary circumstances. . . which affect the security of the Russian Federation and require immediate measures," the Kremlin said in a statement. The law takes effect immediately.
Putin has in the past threatened to freeze his country's compliance with the treaty, accusing the United States and its NATO partners of undermining regional stability with US plans for a missile defense system in former Soviet bloc countries in Eastern Europe. . . Full story: pravda.ru

Tonkin Gulf II and the Guns of August?
July 17, 2007 – Is the United States provoking war with Iran, to begin while the Congress is conveniently on its August recess? One recalls that it was in August 1964, after the Republicans nominated Barry Goldwater, that the Tonkin Gulf incident occurred. Twice it was said, on Aug. 2 and Aug. 4, North Vietnamese patrol boats had attacked the US destroyers Maddox and Turner Joy in international waters. The US Senate responded by voting 88 to two to authorize President Johnson to assist any Southeast Asian nation whose government was threatened by communist aggression.
The bombing of the North began, followed by the arrival of US Marines. America's war was on.
As Congress prepares for its August recess, the probability of US air strikes on Iran rises with each week. A third carrier, the USS Enterprise, and its battle group is joining the Nimitz and Stennis in the largest concentration of US naval power ever off the coast of Iran. And Tonkin Gulf II may have already occurred. . . is Congress in on it? Full story: rense.com

First Fridge Magnets, now Clover's Go Bag
Sydney, July 17, 2007 – The Lord Mayor, Clover Moore, is urging Sydneysiders to prepare a "Go Bag" – packed with maps, running shoes, energy bars and even sticky-tape – so they can be ready for any disaster that may strike the city.
The Go Bag is part of a broader City of Sydney campaign called "Let's Get Ready Sydney", to be unveiled today with the release of posters and 200,000 booklets advising what to do in the event of a terrorist attack or natural disaster.
The $200,000 project, half-funded by the Commonwealth Attorney-General's department, advises city residents and workers to prepare for a hazardous materials incident, an explosion, an outbreak of contagious disease, civil disturbance, a natural disaster or other emergencies. . .
Cr. Harris, a member of the Greens, suggested every Go Bag include a can-opener, a pair of sunglasses, inflatable floaties, a copy of a Sydney good food guide and a one-way ticket to Barcelona.
"I just find these fear campaigns personally offensive. Where are we supposed to go with our Go Bags? With our current public transport system, the roads would be clogged in minutes," he said yesterday.
"If it's part-funded by the Attorney-General's Department, it smacks of a Federal Government fear campaign. It's purely sensationalist". . . Full story: smh.com.au

The Feast of Trumpets - Part IV
As in Part III of this series we will return to the transcript of Brother Branham's sermon and rephrase his 'Kentucky English.' If you do not have it, go to William Branham On-line; click "The Message," paste The Feast of the Trumpets in the search window, click "search," click the right hand double arrow which will take you to a transcript of that title, mark, copy and paste into your notepad. I will post my comments within square brackets [].
Brother Branham said, "Now, let me say this right here, that every trumpet that blowed, blowed under the Sixth Seal. . . All the Trumpets sounded under the Sixth Seal" (The Feast of the Trumpets, p. 19:148).
Israel's Trumpet mysteries will be "blowed," "sounded" or revealed by the ministry of Israel's two prophets under the Sixth Seal, which will be the time of "Jacob's trouble" in the great tribulation of Daniel's Seventieth Week after the close of the Gentile dispensation. God cannot deal with two different covenants simultaneously. He determined seventy weeks of years or 490x360-day years to Israel "from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem" unto the restoration of the Kingdom, which will be the Millennium (Daniel 9:24-27). This period commenced on Nisan 14, 445BC and continued until Israel "cut off" Messiah on Calvary 483 years later. God then turned to the Gentiles "to take out of them a people for His Name," a Bride (Deuteronomy 32:21; Isaiah 49:6; Malachi 1:11; Acts 15:14), leaving the seventieth week of seven prophetic years in which Israel must fulfill the sixfold purpose of Gabriel's instructions (Daniel 9:24). When the last member predestinated to Christ's end-time Bride is born-again, the Seventh Trumpet will sound the end of our dispensation one Nisan 14, and He will return to Israel after "the Day of Pentecost has fully come" — again!
Under the Seventh Seal there is "silence in heaven about the space of half an hour," during which "the Lord Himself descended from heaven. . . and He had in His hand a little Book open: and He set His right foot upon (the beast from) the sea, and his left foot on (the beast from the) earth" (I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 10:1-2). This was the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man to Spiritual Israel as a thief to reveal the mystery of the Seven Seals after He had claimed and opened the Book (I Thessalonians 5:1-5; II Peter 3:10; Revelation 3:3; 8:1; 16:15). The Seventh Trumpet will shatter that silence with the sinking of Los Angeles as the Sixth Seal manifests, marking the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man to natural Israel.
Let us clarify paragraph 155, "Notice, now, exactly the continuity of the Scripture. . . the Seventh Trumpet is to Israel the same as the Seventh Seal was to the Church [i.e. the revelation of the previous six Trumpet or Seals mysteries]. We find [it revealed to us] under the Seventh Seal, that when these souls that was under the altar there that received robes; they were given robes, not that they earned them, because they were in the dispensation when God was still dealing with grace with the Gentiles, not Jews [rather Israelites]. Israel is saved as a nation; God deals with Israel as a nation. Gentiles is a people for His Name, not a nation for His Name, Israel".
Brother Branham said, "God will not let sin go unpunished. There must be punishment. What good is a law without a punishment? . . And when God makes a law, and that Law is defied, then there's got to be punishment for that.
And Israel had violated all of His laws. Oh, they had big church; they had the temple. They had plenty of educated men. They had prophets all over the country, had schools of them, turning them out like a machine. And they had plenty of. . . priests; they had plenty of scribes; and they had plenty of religion; but they were away from the Word of God. So God called a man outside of any of their ranks at all, and sent him in with THUS SAITH THE LORD.
And notice how He cares for His Own. Before He sent this prophet with the Message, He said, "Elijah, go down and tell King Ahab these things. And now, when you do, get yourself away from him right quick, for I have made a place for you to go during the drought. I'm going to take care of you, Elijah, if you just preach My Word, do just what I tell you to do."
Now, I'm going to type this great ministry tonight of Elijah and the time of Elijah, with the hour that we're now in. I believe It's a perfect type. . . So if we could go back and see Israel had taken Palestine upon the same basis that we took this United States. We come into this United States and drove back the occupants, which was the Indians, and possessed the land. And so did Israel come into Palestine under the leadership of Joshua, under God, and drove back the occupants and took the land.
And their first kings were mighty men, David, Solomon, great men. Our first Presidents were great men: Washington, Lincoln, and so forth. Then finally the presidents or the kings become getting more rotten all the time; finally they ended up with this Ahab. Very type, typical of our day. . . And the people had got so modern they didn't want to hear the true Word of the Lord" (Spiritual Food in Due Season, p. 5:25-30).
That may not suggest a propitious outlook for the American Indians — most of the tribes, but it is a natural type for the spiritual antitype. Elijah closed the heavens, telling Ahab there would be neither rain nor dew until He spoke the Word. That brought a natural drought upon Israel, but while He was punishing the unbelievers God provided a way of escape for the believer. He hid Elijah in a secret place, providing for him, and for the widow and her son who received his ministry (I Kings 17).
Amos 8:11, "Behold, the days come, says the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Words of the Lord".
II Timothy 3:1-2, 7, "In the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be. . . lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof".
Revelation 3:17, "You say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked".
Elijah smote the Syrian army blind and led them into captivity. The Lord God veiled Himself behind our Elijah and revealed Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, yet forty years later so-called Christian soldiers are spiritually blind and know it not. In rejecting His Message they rejected Him and smote themselves blind. John 3:19, "This is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil".
God has hidden our Elijah in the secret place; the Church is sealed, and the end-time Bride who was fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary has been called out of the world church system into the wilderness, eating on the secret things of God hidden from a world headed for judgment during this Spiritual drought. "Jesus told His disciples, I have food you know nothing of. My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work" (John 4:32-34). Our food is for the Bride alone. "And the barrel of meal will not waste, nor the cruse of oil fail" until heaven's silence is shattered by the blast of the Seventh Trumpet and God sends rain upon earth as typed by I Kings 17-18 — the former rain for Israel, and the latter rain for Christ's Bride (Joel 2:23; Zechariah 14:8). Then the dead in Christ will rise. God vindicated Israel's Elijah when he called fire down from heaven, and He will vindicate our Elijah when He sinks Los Angeles to the bottom of the ocean.
II Thessalonians 1:6-8, "It is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; and to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ".
The thousands of souls under the altar crying for vengeance, are Israelites martyred for the Commandments of God between Calvary and the end of the Gentile dispensation. God's Law requires "life for life" (Exodus 21:23). "Being high priest, Caiaphas told the Sanhedrin, You know nothing at all, nor consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. He spoke not of his own initiative: but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; and not for that nation only, but that He should gather together into one nation the children of God that were scattered throughout the world. So from that day on the Jewish leaders began plotting Jesus' death. . . and all the people cried, His blood be on us, and on our children." And it has been from that day to this (John 11:49-53; Matthew 27:25).
These Israelites denied Messiah because their rabbis and political Zionists blinded them to the Word of God with Talmudic fables, thus they were slain according to Caiaphas' prophecy with which they agreed. Under the Sixth Seal after the end of the Gentile dispensation it is revealed to them that they are "saved." Their situation under the altar of sacrifice in the heavenly tabernacle signifies they are under the saving grace of the Blood of Christ and will be granted into eternal Life (or receive "white robes" indicative of righteousness) at the White Throne Judgment because they died in martyrdom for the Commandments of God. God tells them to rest until 144,000 elect Israelites are born-again as a Christian nation in one day and martyred under the Sixth Seal and Seventh Trumpet as they were under the Fifth Seal and the first Six Trumpets (Matthew 25; Revelation 13:15-18; ibid p. 21:162).
"There they are; these trumpets are let loose on the Jews [he means Israelites, any Jews who suffered, did so because they are impersonating Israel for the blessing which is not theirs to receive, although they will partake their chastisement] (Don't you see?), not on the Gentiles. The Gentile, when them Seals was opened [and "the mystery of God is finished,"] is sealed away. Time [for mediation in behalf of ignorance — Revelation 10:6] has ended; the [PART- Word] Church is called" (ibid p. 22:164).
As explained in the teaching sermons, Christ's Mediation, and Redemption is Over, whilst the Bible was sealed Christ had to intercede for the ignorance of the Church Age saints until the last elect predestinated to Laodicea was born-again. Then the Mercy Seat became a Judgment Seat: His intercession in the Office of Son of God was fulfilled and the sacrificed Lamb became the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Taking the Book of Redemption, which is the Title Deed to all things, He descended to earth in the threefold PROCESS of the "shout" of the Message, "the Voice of the Archangel," which is Christ in the heart of the Bride placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation to bring His end-time Bride to maturity in "the unity of the faith" and "speaking conditions" for the "third pull" and "the manifestation of the Sons of God" after the Seventh "Trumpet of God." Because Christ's end-time Bride lives under the Seventh Seal and the 144,000 elect live under the Seventh Trumpet, the prophetic ministries of our "Elijah" and their "Moses" and "Elijah" reveal the fullness of Christ so that we do not require intercession for ignorance and were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary. Thus "when them Seals was opened [the elect Gentiles] is sealed away. Time [or delay for intercession] has ended; [and] the Church is called."
"You remember the vision the other day? Remember the preview of it? How many remembers Sunday 'fore last? How there it was exactly come by; we seen it exactly, seen that dirty, filthy thing come up called the church (vulgarity is to the extreme), and that little Bride of every nation, each one of them dressed like their nation they come from, just perfectly, walking before the Lord." [Brother Branham is referring to his vision of the Alpha and Omega Bride, the Church Age saints in between, and the denominational group in the World Council of Churches described in The Masterpiece, p. 32:186-201].
"You notice, there'll be a time some time when they'll say, "Well, I thought the Church was to go before the persecution. I thought there's a rapture."
"It's already passed and you knew it not." That's what He said about John one time, you know."
Said, "Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?"
He said, "He's already come." And even the disciples didn't know it. [The "Elijah" of this day introduced Christ, the fulness of the Word, "and even the disciples" in the circle of this Message do not know it]. "They done to him what they listed."
The rapture will be the same way. In a hour. . . He's promised to do that. He didn't promise to show Elias like that, but He promised to take the Bride like that—in a hour that you think not, just a change in a moment of a twinkling of an eye be caught away; then you're left. Then that's the time" (ibid p. 22:165-169).
The ministry of our Elijah was not done in a "secret place" but around the world before congregations of scores and hundreds of thousands. But the rapture is a revelation few within the circle of this Message begin to comprehend. Christ has come "as a thief," and He is here now.
Brother Branham's The Feast of the Trumpets, perhaps more than any of his other teachings demonstrates the imperative of taking the Message back to Scripture to unlock the revelation of God's unchanging written Word, and preaching Bible revelation rather than quoting what he has said. Many Brethren are not in the faith because they try to make the spoken Word reveal the spoken Word when its function is to unfold the revelation of Jesus Christ from God's written Word.
If you follow me on page 29:222-224, you will appreciate what I have just said. The Trumpet that sounded on the Day of Pentecost announced the Pentecostal Jubilee by the wave offering of the resurrected, glorified Messiah, who was the sheaf of the firstfruits of the resurrection of the Old Testament saints that slept. They came out of their graves after His resurrection and appeared to many in Jerusalem (Leviticus 23:9-14; Matthew 27:53; I Corinthians 15:20). He was raised for their justification and also for ours (Romans 4:25). They could not be raised and glorified before He had died to redeem His Bride, and being raised from the dead and glorified, death has no more dominion over them (Hebrews 11:39-40; Romans 6:9; I John 3:8).
What was the Pentecostal Jubilee? It was the restoration of grace and liberty — freedom from the curse of the Law of sin and death (Galatians 3:13; Romans 8:2). Israel as a nation rejected the true Atonement, while most individual Israelites rejected the Trumpet of the Pentecostal Jubilee. This universal rejection of the Abrahamic Promise by His servant nation turned God to we Gentiles to call a Bride for Israel's King Messiah. As Israel bowed to their little brother Joseph, the so-called Jews will "worship before our feet, and know that God has loved us," while as God's servant nation, Israel will bow to the true Church for their King and His Queen are one through the invisible marriage union (Revelation 3:9; John 17:20-23). We are a royal priesthood, kings of the earth, whose subjects will tithe their increase to new Jerusalem.
The Pentecostal Feast of natural Israel lasted fifty days and typed the Gentile dispensation with its seven sabbaths or Church Ages: seven baptisms with the Holy Spirit bringing the saints into Christ's rest by the revelation of a different portion of the Word, and capped by the holy convocation of the fiftieth day, which is where we are today (Leviticus 23:15-21; Revelation 1-3).
As Brother Branham explains, "the Jews [Israelites] rejected that; now the Trumpets is to call them back to. . . the atonement they rejected." Those Seven Trumpets manifested throughout the antitype of the Pentecostal Feast or Gentile dispensation as plagues of natural wars upon Israel to chastise and force the nation back to Canaan for their Atonement. "As it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27-28), this will not be a re-killing of the Sacrifice, but a mourning for the killing of Israel's King-Messiah and Judge (Leviticus 23:26-32; Zechariah 12:10 - 13:6). The revelation of the Seven Trumpet mysteries will unveil Christ to 144,000 elect Israelites in Israel.
Throughout the Church Ages those seven Gospel Trumpets announced the Coming of Joseph. All who "bowed the knee" of their heart by faith in the certain sound of the Trumpet to their Age were born-again, whilst Israel, who turned their backs and repudiated the Trumpet received a plague as did the Jews, who impersonate them (Revelation 2:9; 3:9).
Brother Branham said, "God had to harden Pharaoh's heart to run them out of Egypt; and He hardened Stalin, Mussolini, and all that to get them back into the promised land, where the one hundred and forty-four thousand's supposed to be." If you read Genesis 3:15; 4:9-15; 9:25-27; 10:15-19 and 27:39-41 you will see that Canaan, like all of Cain's descendants, including two of Esau's three wives, is accursed of God. Esau is the father of Edom, "the people against whom the Lord has indignation forever." The Hyskos who took over Egypt in a bloodless coup later conquered England and established the sovereign state of the City of London that has dominion over the whole Japhetic world, through which it dominates much of the Hamitic and Semitic world by the money power and international law. They dominate the remaining nations directly by Judaeo-Communism or indirectly by guns.
They have taken over the United States is a bloodless coup, like it or not. Say Hello to the North American Union.
The "Pharaoh who knew not Joseph" was an Edomite descendant of Esau God set at enmity with Israel. Edom has always been Israel's enemy. They betrayed Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar, and when John Hyrcanus forcibly assimilated them they became "Jews," ruling Judea in the days of Christ's first Coming. They betrayed Jerusalem to Rome, which the Talmud calls Edom, and will betray the 144,000 elect Israelites to Rome, which Brother Branham typed as Esau. "Now the ecclesiastical realm has been opened from the natural revival of the old pagan Rome [The Roman Empire became the German Empire and this "natural revival" was the Third Reich], went forth on those Jews, which has always been their enemy (the lion with teeth and everything, that stomped down and broke out the people, Rome), [Daniel 7:7,23; Revelation 9:17-19] always been God's enemy. And it was turned loose in the same spirit by the dictators of the world, because the religious system was still holding; now it's been loosed." [At the end of Laodicea the church put Christ outside the camp when they rejected the revelation of the Seven Seals, which was the revelation of Jesus Christ — Revelation 1:1. Now the spirit of antichrist is loosed it need not work persecution through the political realm of dictators, it can now work persecution through the ecclesiastical realm of the Roman Catholic church system, and her once Protestant image. Ultimately, Satan must destroy or prevent people from becoming genuine Christians, because the heirs to the Kingdom are not sons of the first Adam only but joint heirs with the last Adam. Not church-goers only, but genuine Christians. . . including Israel's elect 144,000].
". . . In the cunningness, as He said, "he'd come in like flatteries" [Daniel 11:21, 32, 34]. And what has he done? He's bringing the Protestant Ecumenical Council of the world churches, the spirit of antichrist, upon both of them [Rome and her image], bringing them to the slaughter, just like they did the other [Israel] in a hour to call the Bride [Revelation 16:13-16]. How? Loosed in the ecclesiastical church spirit. Loosed upon what? Not upon the denominations, upon the Bride. But here you'd get it; the Bride will not go through that time. The Bible says not. The church will, but not the Bride. Can't you see? Ministers, can't you see that, brethren?" (ibid p. 23:182-183).
When was the "ecclesiastical spirit" loosed? At Vatican II, twenty years after World War II concurrent with the revelation of the Seven Seals, because at the end of Laodicea, Christ's mediation and the redemption of the Church Age saints, the denominations put Christ outside the camp (Revelation 3:20). Thus evangelism changed from Matthew 28:19 to Revelation 18:4, and the religious spirit, no longer restrained by constitutions and sound laws, is loosed upon Christ's end-time Bride. But she will be taken home and the persecution will come upon the foolish virgin and the 144,000 Israelites. In Newsletter #484 we described how Pope Paul VI, head of the Western division of the Roman Empire traveled to Jerusalem to meet Ecumenical Patriarch Athenogoras I, head of the Eastern division (ibid 24:189-219; The latest news (above) regarding the primacy of Rome confirms Daniel 2:43, "they shall not cleave together"). Under the auspices of the United Nations the 200 million demons tried to reunite the Western and Eastern political divisions of the Roman world empire symbolized by the feet of iron and miry clay on the image of Nebuchadnezzar's dream (Daniel 2:40-45). Newsletter #386 reported how two Khazars, Eisenhower and Khrushchev, tried in the UN to reach agreement, and talks between Putin and George II earlier this month came to nothing this week. Thank God, the little Bride has made Herself ready. It won't be long.
The persecution brought upon Israel when they were blinded by their rabbis will soon come upon foolish virgin blinded by their ministers (Revelation 3:18; 13:15-18). Demons cannot be seen, but we can see what they are doing: Jesus and Brother Branham said, false Christs and false teachers would be so close to the faith, they would almost deceive the very elect if it were possible. They believe and quote the "letter" of the Message, and can be distinguished from the saints only by their revelation of the Word.
Edomites have been persecuting blood Israelites since Esau sold his birthright. Stalin was himself a Khazar, rumoured to have been an illegitimate Rothschild. Hitler likewise. Churchill and Roosevelt were also Khazars. Churchill led the world to war, and Roosevelt shattered the Constitution. Brother Branham said, "There's coming a time in this nation, to where this nation is going to exercise all the power that the beast had before (which was pagan Rome, when it become papal Rome. See?) that this nation will do that" (Look Away to Jesus, 6:45-46).
Truth is stranger than fiction, and often not what we have been taught. Lies promoted as truth by the media, Hollywood and educators become conventional wisdom. Deceptions include the sinking of the USS Maine and the SS Sussex, German aggression against Poland, Japan's unprovoked "surprise" attack on Pearl Harbour, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the Big Lie of an Islamic link to 9/11, Iraq's WMD, a nuclear Iran, three holocausts each of six million Jews in the twentieth century. Speaking of the Jewish takeover of Germany known as the Weimar Republic, the Jew Joseph Goebbels observed, "The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State." Facts never interfere with a political agenda so old lies are recycled until those who knew the truth have passed away and lies become truth.
Truth is the enemy of an apostate once-Christian world overcome by chutzpah in an unbloody coup unrecognized by the blind and indefensible Laodiceans who have rejected Truth (John 14:6). Apathy toward truth has made truth an unwelcome stranger. Lucifer's totalitarian one world government now swallowing our world is built upon a foundation of lies enforced by corrupt legislation and Machiavellian case law. When Israel rejected God's promise to Abraham at Kadesh Barnea where the ten spies gave a bad report, God put the nation under the curse of His Law, which was righteousness to which they could not attain. Since the churches have rejected Abraham's promise, God has allowed the Gentiles to come under the curse of man-made Talmudic law, which is unrighteousness.
From the waving of the sheaf of firstfruits on Nisan 16 to the Pentecostal Jubilee or first resurrection is fifty days, and from the going up of the Church to Israel's Feast of Trumpets of Leviticus 23, and from the waving of the first ripe sheaf to the Day of Atonement is seven months (ibid 30:229, 242). Brother Branham said seven sabbaths when he meant seven months and corrected himself in C.O.D. 965:204-205.
"It's between that Sixth Trumpet (and the Sixth Trumpet and the Sixth Seal sounds at the same time), [the persecution of Israel under the Sixth Trumpet continues from the Armistice of World War I through World War II to World War III under the manifestation of the Sixth Seal], and between the Sixth Trumpet and the Seventh Trumpet [as they appear in the Bible, that is, between Revelation 9 and Revelation 11:15], there is a prophet to appear before the Gentiles [in Revelation 10:7] to call the people back to the original Pentecostal doctrine [Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11]; and the two witnesses of Revelations 11 appear to the Jews to send them to Jesus, while the Church is being taken up—all of them prophets. Amen. The Word of the Lord cannot be broken. It won't be a denomination. Do you see it?
Read in your book here and see if that between the Sixth and Seventh Trumpet [i.e. Revelation 9 and Revelation 11:15] isn't injected in there with the Jews [Israelites] being called out. Between the Sixth [Revelation 6:12-17] and Seventh Plague [Revelation 78:1], we come over with that one hundred and forty-four thousand [Revelation 11:1-13] (you remember that?), which was between that. Do you remember between the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal, there was a calling out of the one hundred and forty-four thousand [i.e. Revelation 7:1-8]. You remember that? Now, there's where these trumpets [the Feast of Trumpets or revelation of Israel's Seven Trumpet mysteries by the Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4; Matthew 24:31; Revelation 11:3-12] come in, right there (See?) and persecution of horses loosed on there [in the "ecclesiastical realm" because Satan is cast down to earth at this time and incarnate in Rome's Pope — Revelation 12:7-17]. (ibid 34:266-267).
Sin or unbelief in the revealed Word of God is a terrible thing. "For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and those who are led of them are destroyed" (Isaiah 9:16). It is not "Jews as a group" as our persecutors claim, but "leaders" themselves cause "Jews as a group" to err. Their "leaders" rewrote the Old Testament, changed the meaning of language to pervert the New Testament and insinuated themselves into positions of influence in apostate denominational institutions and as rabbinical "leaders" blinded their people to God's unchanging Word, denominational "leaders" have in turn blinded their people as Jesus foretold (II Timothy 3:7-10; 4:4; Revelation 3:17). We are not to be led of men, but "receive their word with all readiness of mind, then search the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so" (Acts 17:11), and make God's Word our Absolute. nl485.htm

Pope reasserts Primacy of Roman Catholic Church
Lorenzago di Cadore, July 10, 2007 – Pope Benedict XVI has reasserted the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document released Tuesday that says Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian denominations were not true churches.
Benedict approved a document from his old offices at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith that restates church teaching on relations with other Christians. It was the second time in a week the pope has corrected what he says are erroneous interpretations of the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 meetings that modernized the church. . .
It restates key sections of a 2000 document the pope wrote when he was prefect of the congregation, "Dominus Iesus," which set off a firestorm of criticism among Protestant and other Christian denominations because it said they were not true churches but merely ecclesial communities and therefore did not have the "means of salvation."
"Christ 'established here on earth' only one church," the document said. The other communities "cannot be called 'churches' in the proper sense" because they do not have apostolic succession — the ability to trace their bishops back to Christ's original apostles. . .
There was no indication about why the pope felt it necessary to release the document, particularly since his 2000 document summed up the same principles. Some analysts suggested it could be a question of internal church politics, or that it could simply be an indication of Benedict using his office as pope to again stress key doctrinal issues from his time at the congregation.

Hindu Prayer at US Senate sparks Christian Protest
Washington, July 13, 2007 – History was made in the American Congress on Thursday as the US Senate opened its daily session with Hindu prayers.
Former journalist and priest, Rajan Zed wearing the traditional saffron robe, delivered the minute-and-a-half long prayer, which was translated into English as per the rules of the Senate Chaplain. But before the ceremony could begin, a small group of vocal Christian protestors shouted angry slogans from the visitor's gallery right above the Senate floor. . .
Nevada-based Zed has performed similar ceremonies in the State Assembly and Senate and traveled to Washington after getting an invitation from Senator Harry Reid to do the same on Capitol Hill. Full story: ibnlive.com

Tonkin Gulf II and the Guns of August?
July 17, 2007 – Is the United States provoking war with Iran, to begin while the Congress is conveniently on its August recess? One recalls that it was in August 1964, after the Republicans nominated Barry Goldwater, that the Tonkin Gulf incident occurred. Twice it was said, on Aug. 2 and Aug. 4, North Vietnamese patrol boats had attacked the US destroyers Maddox and Turner Joy in international waters. The US Senate responded by voting 88 to two to authorize President Johnson to assist any Southeast Asian nation whose government was threatened by communist aggression.
The bombing of the North began, followed by the arrival of US Marines. America's war was on.
As Congress prepares for its August recess, the probability of US air strikes on Iran rises with each week. A third carrier, the USS Enterprise, and its battle group is joining the Nimitz and Stennis in the largest concentration of US naval power ever off the coast of Iran. And Tonkin Gulf II may have already occurred. . . is Congress in on it? Full story: rense.com

First Fridge Magnets, now Clover's Go Bag
Sydney, July 17, 2007 – The Lord Mayor, Clover Moore, is urging Sydneysiders to prepare a "Go Bag" – packed with maps, running shoes, energy bars and even sticky-tape – so they can be ready for any disaster that may strike the city.
The Go Bag is part of a broader City of Sydney campaign called "Let's Get Ready Sydney", to be unveiled today with the release of posters and 200,000 booklets advising what to do in the event of a terrorist attack or natural disaster.
The $200,000 project, half-funded by the Commonwealth Attorney-General's department, advises city residents and workers to prepare for a hazardous materials incident, an explosion, an outbreak of contagious disease, civil disturbance, a natural disaster or other emergencies. . .
Cr. Harris, a member of the Greens, suggested every Go Bag include a can-opener, a pair of sunglasses, inflatable floaties, a copy of a Sydney good food guide and a one-way ticket to Barcelona.
"I just find these fear campaigns personally offensive. Where are we supposed to go with our Go Bags? With our current public transport system, the roads would be clogged in minutes," he said yesterday.
"If it's part-funded by the Attorney-General's Department, it smacks of a Federal Government fear campaign. It's purely sensationalist". . . Full story: smh.com.au

The Feast of Trumpets - Part IV
As in Part III of this series we will return to the transcript of Brother Branham's sermon and rephrase his 'Kentucky English.' If you do not have it, go to William Branham On-line; click "The Message," paste The Feast of the Trumpets in the search window, click "search," click the right hand double arrow which will take you to a transcript of that title, mark, copy and paste into your notepad. I will post my comments within square brackets [].
Brother Branham said, "Now, let me say this right here, that every trumpet that blowed, blowed under the Sixth Seal. . . All the Trumpets sounded under the Sixth Seal" (The Feast of the Trumpets, p. 19:148).
Israel's Trumpet mysteries will be "blowed," "sounded" or revealed by the ministry of Israel's two prophets under the Sixth Seal, which will be the time of "Jacob's trouble" in the great tribulation of Daniel's Seventieth Week after the close of the Gentile dispensation. God cannot deal with two different covenants simultaneously. He determined seventy weeks of years or 490x360-day years to Israel "from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem" unto the restoration of the Kingdom, which will be the Millennium (Daniel 9:24-27). This period commenced on Nisan 14, 445BC and continued until Israel "cut off" Messiah on Calvary 483 years later. God then turned to the Gentiles "to take out of them a people for His Name," a Bride (Deuteronomy 32:21; Isaiah 49:6; Malachi 1:11; Acts 15:14), leaving the seventieth week of seven prophetic years in which Israel must fulfill the sixfold purpose of Gabriel's instructions (Daniel 9:24). When the last member predestinated to Christ's end-time Bride is born-again, the Seventh Trumpet will sound the end of our dispensation one Nisan 14, and He will return to Israel after "the Day of Pentecost has fully come" — again!
Under the Seventh Seal there is "silence in heaven about the space of half an hour," during which "the Lord Himself descended from heaven. . . and He had in His hand a little Book open: and He set His right foot upon (the beast from) the sea, and his left foot on (the beast from the) earth" (I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 10:1-2). This was the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man to Spiritual Israel as a thief to reveal the mystery of the Seven Seals after He had claimed and opened the Book (I Thessalonians 5:1-5; II Peter 3:10; Revelation 3:3; 8:1; 16:15). The Seventh Trumpet will shatter that silence with the sinking of Los Angeles as the Sixth Seal manifests, marking the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man to natural Israel.
Let us clarify paragraph 155, "Notice, now, exactly the continuity of the Scripture. . . the Seventh Trumpet is to Israel the same as the Seventh Seal was to the Church [i.e. the revelation of the previous six Trumpet or Seals mysteries]. We find [it revealed to us] under the Seventh Seal, that when these souls that was under the altar there that received robes; they were given robes, not that they earned them, because they were in the dispensation when God was still dealing with grace with the Gentiles, not Jews [rather Israelites]. Israel is saved as a nation; God deals with Israel as a nation. Gentiles is a people for His Name, not a nation for His Name, Israel".
Brother Branham said, "God will not let sin go unpunished. There must be punishment. What good is a law without a punishment? . . And when God makes a law, and that Law is defied, then there's got to be punishment for that.
And Israel had violated all of His laws. Oh, they had big church; they had the temple. They had plenty of educated men. They had prophets all over the country, had schools of them, turning them out like a machine. And they had plenty of. . . priests; they had plenty of scribes; and they had plenty of religion; but they were away from the Word of God. So God called a man outside of any of their ranks at all, and sent him in with THUS SAITH THE LORD.
And notice how He cares for His Own. Before He sent this prophet with the Message, He said, "Elijah, go down and tell King Ahab these things. And now, when you do, get yourself away from him right quick, for I have made a place for you to go during the drought. I'm going to take care of you, Elijah, if you just preach My Word, do just what I tell you to do."
Now, I'm going to type this great ministry tonight of Elijah and the time of Elijah, with the hour that we're now in. I believe It's a perfect type. . . So if we could go back and see Israel had taken Palestine upon the same basis that we took this United States. We come into this United States and drove back the occupants, which was the Indians, and possessed the land. And so did Israel come into Palestine under the leadership of Joshua, under God, and drove back the occupants and took the land.
And their first kings were mighty men, David, Solomon, great men. Our first Presidents were great men: Washington, Lincoln, and so forth. Then finally the presidents or the kings become getting more rotten all the time; finally they ended up with this Ahab. Very type, typical of our day. . . And the people had got so modern they didn't want to hear the true Word of the Lord" (Spiritual Food in Due Season, p. 5:25-30).
That may not suggest a propitious outlook for the American Indians — most of the tribes, but it is a natural type for the spiritual antitype. Elijah closed the heavens, telling Ahab there would be neither rain nor dew until He spoke the Word. That brought a natural drought upon Israel, but while He was punishing the unbelievers God provided a way of escape for the believer. He hid Elijah in a secret place, providing for him, and for the widow and her son who received his ministry (I Kings 17).
Amos 8:11, "Behold, the days come, says the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Words of the Lord".
II Timothy 3:1-2, 7, "In the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be. . . lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof".
Revelation 3:17, "You say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked".
Elijah smote the Syrian army blind and led them into captivity. The Lord God veiled Himself behind our Elijah and revealed Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, yet forty years later so-called Christian soldiers are spiritually blind and know it not. In rejecting His Message they rejected Him and smote themselves blind. John 3:19, "This is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil".
God has hidden our Elijah in the secret place; the Church is sealed, and the end-time Bride who was fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary has been called out of the world church system into the wilderness, eating on the secret things of God hidden from a world headed for judgment during this Spiritual drought. "Jesus told His disciples, I have food you know nothing of. My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work" (John 4:32-34). Our food is for the Bride alone. "And the barrel of meal will not waste, nor the cruse of oil fail" until heaven's silence is shattered by the blast of the Seventh Trumpet and God sends rain upon earth as typed by I Kings 17-18 — the former rain for Israel, and the latter rain for Christ's Bride (Joel 2:23; Zechariah 14:8). Then the dead in Christ will rise. God vindicated Israel's Elijah when he called fire down from heaven, and He will vindicate our Elijah when He sinks Los Angeles to the bottom of the ocean.
II Thessalonians 1:6-8, "It is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; and to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ".
The thousands of souls under the altar crying for vengeance, are Israelites martyred for the Commandments of God between Calvary and the end of the Gentile dispensation. God's Law requires "life for life" (Exodus 21:23). "Being high priest, Caiaphas told the Sanhedrin, You know nothing at all, nor consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. He spoke not of his own initiative: but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; and not for that nation only, but that He should gather together into one nation the children of God that were scattered throughout the world. So from that day on the Jewish leaders began plotting Jesus' death. . . and all the people cried, His blood be on us, and on our children." And it has been from that day to this (John 11:49-53; Matthew 27:25).
These Israelites denied Messiah because their rabbis and political Zionists blinded them to the Word of God with Talmudic fables, thus they were slain according to Caiaphas' prophecy with which they agreed. Under the Sixth Seal after the end of the Gentile dispensation it is revealed to them that they are "saved." Their situation under the altar of sacrifice in the heavenly tabernacle signifies they are under the saving grace of the Blood of Christ and will be granted into eternal Life (or receive "white robes" indicative of righteousness) at the White Throne Judgment because they died in martyrdom for the Commandments of God. God tells them to rest until 144,000 elect Israelites are born-again as a Christian nation in one day and martyred under the Sixth Seal and Seventh Trumpet as they were under the Fifth Seal and the first Six Trumpets (Matthew 25; Revelation 13:15-18; ibid p. 21:162).
"There they are; these trumpets are let loose on the Jews [he means Israelites, any Jews who suffered, did so because they are impersonating Israel for the blessing which is not theirs to receive, although they will partake their chastisement] (Don't you see?), not on the Gentiles. The Gentile, when them Seals was opened [and "the mystery of God is finished,"] is sealed away. Time [for mediation in behalf of ignorance — Revelation 10:6] has ended; the [PART- Word] Church is called" (ibid p. 22:164).
As explained in the teaching sermons, Christ's Mediation, and Redemption is Over, whilst the Bible was sealed Christ had to intercede for the ignorance of the Church Age saints until the last elect predestinated to Laodicea was born-again. Then the Mercy Seat became a Judgment Seat: His intercession in the Office of Son of God was fulfilled and the sacrificed Lamb became the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Taking the Book of Redemption, which is the Title Deed to all things, He descended to earth in the threefold PROCESS of the "shout" of the Message, "the Voice of the Archangel," which is Christ in the heart of the Bride placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation to bring His end-time Bride to maturity in "the unity of the faith" and "speaking conditions" for the "third pull" and "the manifestation of the Sons of God" after the Seventh "Trumpet of God." Because Christ's end-time Bride lives under the Seventh Seal and the 144,000 elect live under the Seventh Trumpet, the prophetic ministries of our "Elijah" and their "Moses" and "Elijah" reveal the fullness of Christ so that we do not require intercession for ignorance and were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary. Thus "when them Seals was opened [the elect Gentiles] is sealed away. Time [or delay for intercession] has ended; [and] the Church is called."
"You remember the vision the other day? Remember the preview of it? How many remembers Sunday 'fore last? How there it was exactly come by; we seen it exactly, seen that dirty, filthy thing come up called the church (vulgarity is to the extreme), and that little Bride of every nation, each one of them dressed like their nation they come from, just perfectly, walking before the Lord." [Brother Branham is referring to his vision of the Alpha and Omega Bride, the Church Age saints in between, and the denominational group in the World Council of Churches described in The Masterpiece, p. 32:186-201].
"You notice, there'll be a time some time when they'll say, "Well, I thought the Church was to go before the persecution. I thought there's a rapture."
"It's already passed and you knew it not." That's what He said about John one time, you know."
Said, "Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?"
He said, "He's already come." And even the disciples didn't know it. [The "Elijah" of this day introduced Christ, the fulness of the Word, "and even the disciples" in the circle of this Message do not know it]. "They done to him what they listed."
The rapture will be the same way. In a hour. . . He's promised to do that. He didn't promise to show Elias like that, but He promised to take the Bride like that—in a hour that you think not, just a change in a moment of a twinkling of an eye be caught away; then you're left. Then that's the time" (ibid p. 22:165-169).
The ministry of our Elijah was not done in a "secret place" but around the world before congregations of scores and hundreds of thousands. But the rapture is a revelation few within the circle of this Message begin to comprehend. Christ has come "as a thief," and He is here now.
Brother Branham's The Feast of the Trumpets, perhaps more than any of his other teachings demonstrates the imperative of taking the Message back to Scripture to unlock the revelation of God's unchanging written Word, and preaching Bible revelation rather than quoting what he has said. Many Brethren are not in the faith because they try to make the spoken Word reveal the spoken Word when its function is to unfold the revelation of Jesus Christ from God's written Word.
If you follow me on page 29:222-224, you will appreciate what I have just said. The Trumpet that sounded on the Day of Pentecost announced the Pentecostal Jubilee by the wave offering of the resurrected, glorified Messiah, who was the sheaf of the firstfruits of the resurrection of the Old Testament saints that slept. They came out of their graves after His resurrection and appeared to many in Jerusalem (Leviticus 23:9-14; Matthew 27:53; I Corinthians 15:20). He was raised for their justification and also for ours (Romans 4:25). They could not be raised and glorified before He had died to redeem His Bride, and being raised from the dead and glorified, death has no more dominion over them (Hebrews 11:39-40; Romans 6:9; I John 3:8).
What was the Pentecostal Jubilee? It was the restoration of grace and liberty — freedom from the curse of the Law of sin and death (Galatians 3:13; Romans 8:2). Israel as a nation rejected the true Atonement, while most individual Israelites rejected the Trumpet of the Pentecostal Jubilee. This universal rejection of the Abrahamic Promise by His servant nation turned God to we Gentiles to call a Bride for Israel's King Messiah. As Israel bowed to their little brother Joseph, the so-called Jews will "worship before our feet, and know that God has loved us," while as God's servant nation, Israel will bow to the true Church for their King and His Queen are one through the invisible marriage union (Revelation 3:9; John 17:20-23). We are a royal priesthood, kings of the earth, whose subjects will tithe their increase to new Jerusalem.
The Pentecostal Feast of natural Israel lasted fifty days and typed the Gentile dispensation with its seven sabbaths or Church Ages: seven baptisms with the Holy Spirit bringing the saints into Christ's rest by the revelation of a different portion of the Word, and capped by the holy convocation of the fiftieth day, which is where we are today (Leviticus 23:15-21; Revelation 1-3).
As Brother Branham explains, "the Jews [Israelites] rejected that; now the Trumpets is to call them back to. . . the atonement they rejected." Those Seven Trumpets manifested throughout the antitype of the Pentecostal Feast or Gentile dispensation as plagues of natural wars upon Israel to chastise and force the nation back to Canaan for their Atonement. "As it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27-28), this will not be a re-killing of the Sacrifice, but a mourning for the killing of Israel's King-Messiah and Judge (Leviticus 23:26-32; Zechariah 12:10 - 13:6). The revelation of the Seven Trumpet mysteries will unveil Christ to 144,000 elect Israelites in Israel.
Throughout the Church Ages those seven Gospel Trumpets announced the Coming of Joseph. All who "bowed the knee" of their heart by faith in the certain sound of the Trumpet to their Age were born-again, whilst Israel, who turned their backs and repudiated the Trumpet received a plague as did the Jews, who impersonate them (Revelation 2:9; 3:9).
Brother Branham said, "God had to harden Pharaoh's heart to run them out of Egypt; and He hardened Stalin, Mussolini, and all that to get them back into the promised land, where the one hundred and forty-four thousand's supposed to be." If you read Genesis 3:15; 4:9-15; 9:25-27; 10:15-19 and 27:39-41 you will see that Canaan, like all of Cain's descendants, including two of Esau's three wives, is accursed of God. Esau is the father of Edom, "the people against whom the Lord has indignation forever." The Hyskos who took over Egypt in a bloodless coup later conquered England and established the sovereign state of the City of London that has dominion over the whole Japhetic world, through which it dominates much of the Hamitic and Semitic world by the money power and international law. They dominate the remaining nations directly by Judaeo-Communism or indirectly by guns.
They have taken over the United States is a bloodless coup, like it or not. Say Hello to the North American Union.
The "Pharaoh who knew not Joseph" was an Edomite descendant of Esau God set at enmity with Israel. Edom has always been Israel's enemy. They betrayed Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar, and when John Hyrcanus forcibly assimilated them they became "Jews," ruling Judea in the days of Christ's first Coming. They betrayed Jerusalem to Rome, which the Talmud calls Edom, and will betray the 144,000 elect Israelites to Rome, which Brother Branham typed as Esau. "Now the ecclesiastical realm has been opened from the natural revival of the old pagan Rome [The Roman Empire became the German Empire and this "natural revival" was the Third Reich], went forth on those Jews, which has always been their enemy (the lion with teeth and everything, that stomped down and broke out the people, Rome), [Daniel 7:7,23; Revelation 9:17-19] always been God's enemy. And it was turned loose in the same spirit by the dictators of the world, because the religious system was still holding; now it's been loosed." [At the end of Laodicea the church put Christ outside the camp when they rejected the revelation of the Seven Seals, which was the revelation of Jesus Christ — Revelation 1:1. Now the spirit of antichrist is loosed it need not work persecution through the political realm of dictators, it can now work persecution through the ecclesiastical realm of the Roman Catholic church system, and her once Protestant image. Ultimately, Satan must destroy or prevent people from becoming genuine Christians, because the heirs to the Kingdom are not sons of the first Adam only but joint heirs with the last Adam. Not church-goers only, but genuine Christians. . . including Israel's elect 144,000].
". . . In the cunningness, as He said, "he'd come in like flatteries" [Daniel 11:21, 32, 34]. And what has he done? He's bringing the Protestant Ecumenical Council of the world churches, the spirit of antichrist, upon both of them [Rome and her image], bringing them to the slaughter, just like they did the other [Israel] in a hour to call the Bride [Revelation 16:13-16]. How? Loosed in the ecclesiastical church spirit. Loosed upon what? Not upon the denominations, upon the Bride. But here you'd get it; the Bride will not go through that time. The Bible says not. The church will, but not the Bride. Can't you see? Ministers, can't you see that, brethren?" (ibid p. 23:182-183).
When was the "ecclesiastical spirit" loosed? At Vatican II, twenty years after World War II concurrent with the revelation of the Seven Seals, because at the end of Laodicea, Christ's mediation and the redemption of the Church Age saints, the denominations put Christ outside the camp (Revelation 3:20). Thus evangelism changed from Matthew 28:19 to Revelation 18:4, and the religious spirit, no longer restrained by constitutions and sound laws, is loosed upon Christ's end-time Bride. But she will be taken home and the persecution will come upon the foolish virgin and the 144,000 Israelites. In Newsletter #484 we described how Pope Paul VI, head of the Western division of the Roman Empire traveled to Jerusalem to meet Ecumenical Patriarch Athenogoras I, head of the Eastern division (ibid 24:189-219; The latest news (above) regarding the primacy of Rome confirms Daniel 2:43, "they shall not cleave together"). Under the auspices of the United Nations the 200 million demons tried to reunite the Western and Eastern political divisions of the Roman world empire symbolized by the feet of iron and miry clay on the image of Nebuchadnezzar's dream (Daniel 2:40-45). Newsletter #386 reported how two Khazars, Eisenhower and Khrushchev, tried in the UN to reach agreement, and talks between Putin and George II earlier this month came to nothing this week. Thank God, the little Bride has made Herself ready. It won't be long.
The persecution brought upon Israel when they were blinded by their rabbis will soon come upon foolish virgin blinded by their ministers (Revelation 3:18; 13:15-18). Demons cannot be seen, but we can see what they are doing: Jesus and Brother Branham said, false Christs and false teachers would be so close to the faith, they would almost deceive the very elect if it were possible. They believe and quote the "letter" of the Message, and can be distinguished from the saints only by their revelation of the Word.
Edomites have been persecuting blood Israelites since Esau sold his birthright. Stalin was himself a Khazar, rumoured to have been an illegitimate Rothschild. Hitler likewise. Churchill and Roosevelt were also Khazars. Churchill led the world to war, and Roosevelt shattered the Constitution. Brother Branham said, "There's coming a time in this nation, to where this nation is going to exercise all the power that the beast had before (which was pagan Rome, when it become papal Rome. See?) that this nation will do that" (Look Away to Jesus, 6:45-46).
Truth is stranger than fiction, and often not what we have been taught. Lies promoted as truth by the media, Hollywood and educators become conventional wisdom. Deceptions include the sinking of the USS Maine and the SS Sussex, German aggression against Poland, Japan's unprovoked "surprise" attack on Pearl Harbour, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the Big Lie of an Islamic link to 9/11, Iraq's WMD, a nuclear Iran, three holocausts each of six million Jews in the twentieth century. Speaking of the Jewish takeover of Germany known as the Weimar Republic, the Jew Joseph Goebbels observed, "The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State." Facts never interfere with a political agenda so old lies are recycled until those who knew the truth have passed away and lies become truth.
Truth is the enemy of an apostate once-Christian world overcome by chutzpah in an unbloody coup unrecognized by the blind and indefensible Laodiceans who have rejected Truth (John 14:6). Apathy toward truth has made truth an unwelcome stranger. Lucifer's totalitarian one world government now swallowing our world is built upon a foundation of lies enforced by corrupt legislation and Machiavellian case law. When Israel rejected God's promise to Abraham at Kadesh Barnea where the ten spies gave a bad report, God put the nation under the curse of His Law, which was righteousness to which they could not attain. Since the churches have rejected Abraham's promise, God has allowed the Gentiles to come under the curse of man-made Talmudic law, which is unrighteousness.
From the waving of the sheaf of firstfruits on Nisan 16 to the Pentecostal Jubilee or first resurrection is fifty days, and from the going up of the Church to Israel's Feast of Trumpets of Leviticus 23, and from the waving of the first ripe sheaf to the Day of Atonement is seven months (ibid 30:229, 242). Brother Branham said seven sabbaths when he meant seven months and corrected himself in C.O.D. 965:204-205.
"It's between that Sixth Trumpet (and the Sixth Trumpet and the Sixth Seal sounds at the same time), [the persecution of Israel under the Sixth Trumpet continues from the Armistice of World War I through World War II to World War III under the manifestation of the Sixth Seal], and between the Sixth Trumpet and the Seventh Trumpet [as they appear in the Bible, that is, between Revelation 9 and Revelation 11:15], there is a prophet to appear before the Gentiles [in Revelation 10:7] to call the people back to the original Pentecostal doctrine [Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11]; and the two witnesses of Revelations 11 appear to the Jews to send them to Jesus, while the Church is being taken up—all of them prophets. Amen. The Word of the Lord cannot be broken. It won't be a denomination. Do you see it?
Read in your book here and see if that between the Sixth and Seventh Trumpet [i.e. Revelation 9 and Revelation 11:15] isn't injected in there with the Jews [Israelites] being called out. Between the Sixth [Revelation 6:12-17] and Seventh Plague [Revelation 78:1], we come over with that one hundred and forty-four thousand [Revelation 11:1-13] (you remember that?), which was between that. Do you remember between the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal, there was a calling out of the one hundred and forty-four thousand [i.e. Revelation 7:1-8]. You remember that? Now, there's where these trumpets [the Feast of Trumpets or revelation of Israel's Seven Trumpet mysteries by the Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4; Matthew 24:31; Revelation 11:3-12] come in, right there (See?) and persecution of horses loosed on there [in the "ecclesiastical realm" because Satan is cast down to earth at this time and incarnate in Rome's Pope — Revelation 12:7-17]. (ibid 34:266-267).
Sin or unbelief in the revealed Word of God is a terrible thing. "For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and those who are led of them are destroyed" (Isaiah 9:16). It is not "Jews as a group" as our persecutors claim, but "leaders" themselves cause "Jews as a group" to err. Their "leaders" rewrote the Old Testament, changed the meaning of language to pervert the New Testament and insinuated themselves into positions of influence in apostate denominational institutions and as rabbinical "leaders" blinded their people to God's unchanging Word, denominational "leaders" have in turn blinded their people as Jesus foretold (II Timothy 3:7-10; 4:4; Revelation 3:17). We are not to be led of men, but "receive their word with all readiness of mind, then search the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so" (Acts 17:11), and make God's Word our Absolute. nl485.htm
Homework: Please review Newsletters #259 and #471 in which we spoke of "the land of the north" whence the house of Israel and the house of Judah will be gathered (Isaiah 11:11-12; 27:12-13; Jeremiah 3:18). And Newsletter #335 and The Blasphemy of them Which say they are Jews, and are Not in which we have discussed the Feast of the Trumpets.

US sends 'Nuclear Flash Alert' Message to all Military Forces
July 11, 2007 – For a second time in the past few weeks, the War Leaders of the United States have sent an 'extended' Emergency Action Message (EAM) to its military forces around the World. . . Russian Military Analysts reporting on these matters to the Kremlin today point out that an American attack upon either Iran or Syria would result in 'national suicide' for the United States due to International condemnation, the counter-attacks faced by their vulnerable forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and, most importantly, the collapse of the American economy.
These reports also state, curiously, that 'national suicide' may actually be the plan of America’s War Leaders, and based upon the 'model' which collapsed the former Soviet Empire, and whose downfall is eerily reminiscent of what the United States is facing today, in both their wars and their economy.
Based upon this 'theory' of intentional 'national suicide' by the American’s it is interesting to note that their economic leaders are now openly talking about the collapse of the US dollar and its replacement with the 'Amero,' and which is the proposed currency of the new North American Union comprised of the nations of the United States, Mexico and Canada. . . Full story: whatdoesitmean.com
Comment: The United States has been set up for destruction. By amalgamating with Canada and Mexico with the United States under the Federal Reserve's new Amero, many millions more citizens will become enslaved by this Ponzi scheme. Brother Branham prophesied of this depression, and in 1933 God showed seven continuous visions to His prophet: "I saw this United States burning like a smolder; rocks had been blowed up. And it was burning like a heap of fire in logs or something that just set it afire; and looked as far as I could see and she'd been blown up. And then the vision left me. Five out of the seven has happened.

Wild Weather: Covert War or Divine Wrath?
June 27, 2007 – The HAARP program is actually part of an American "scalar" physics research program. Retired USAF Lt. Colonel Tom Bearden headed up scalar physics research and development for the US Air force for many years. Since Bearden's retirement, he has written extensively on the subject and the tremendous threats posed by scalar weapons developments including the ability to create and control weather. He claims Russia is far more advanced in scalar physics development than is the United States and is fully capable of producing such weather phenomenon as we are not seeing unfold. . .

Pope relaxes Restrictions on Use of Tridentine Mass
Vatican City, July 6, 2007 – Benedict XVI's apostolic letter concerning the Roman Missal promulgated by John XXIII in 1962, will not reinstate a prayer for the conversion of "perfidious Jews" or ask Jewish catechumens to "disavow Jewish unbelieving, deny Hebrew superstition". . . Full story: zenit.org youtube.com
Vatican City, July 7, 2007 – In a long-awaited overture to disaffected Catholic traditionalists, Pope Benedict XVI relaxed restrictions on the use of the Tridentine Mass, the Latin-language liturgy that predates the Second Vatican Council. The pope said Mass celebrated according to the 1962 Roman Missal, commonly known as the Tridentine rite, should be made available in every parish where groups of the faithful desire it. . . Full story: catholicnews.com
Comment: The Roman Missal adopted by Pope Paul VI in 1969, and put into effect in 1970, reformulated the prayer. It reads: "Let us pray for the Jewish people, the first to hear the word of God, that they may continue to grow in the love of his name and in faithfulness to his covenant. Almighty and eternal God, long ago you gave your promise to Abraham and his posterity. Listen to your Church as we pray that the people you first made your own may arrive at the fullness of redemption."
With the exception of one word, this is our prayer. God made no covenant with "the Jewish people," few of whom are related to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. His conditional covenants were with the Israelites, a different people entirely.
We are approaching the Sixth Seal under which the vast majority of those in the circle of this Message will discover their lamps have gone out for want of oil; Rome and the Jews will persecute the Israelites, as they have unceasingly throughout history. But after three and a half years, Rome will break her union with the Jews Armageddon will set in.

Martyrs of Revelation in the New World Order
This is an interesting website with "illuminating" links, particularly the signature of the Illuminati's occult seal that has been designed into Australia's Parliament House as it is designed into Washington DC, forms the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States and was placed on the Federal Reserve one Dollar note in 1933. This provides an insight into the workings of the god of this world and confirms the authority with which Lucifer made his offer to Jesus in Matthew 4:9. A tour over the Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is also informative. However, browsing through the human reasonings with which the author has interpreted Scripture one utters a silent "Praise the Lord for sending us a prophet in these last days with the certainty of THUS SAITH THE LORD".

Tiny Tablet provides Proof for Old Testament
July 11, 2007 – The British Museum's great Arched Room, which holds its collection of 130,000 Assyrian cuneiform tablets, dating back 5,000 years. . . Searching for Babylonian financial accounts among the tablets, Prof. Jursa suddenly came across a name he half remembered — Nabu-sharrussu-ukin, described there in a hand 2,500 years old, as "the chief eunuch" of Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon. . .
Nebo-Sarsekim, according to Jeremiah, was Nebuchadnezzar II's "chief officer" and was with him at the siege of Jerusalem in 587 BC, when the Babylonians overran the city. The small tablet, the size of "a packet of 10 cigarettes" according to Irving Finkel, a British Museum expert, is a bill of receipt acknowledging Nabu-sharrussu-ukin's payment of 0.75 kg of gold to a temple in Babylon. The tablet is dated to the 10th year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II, 595BC, 12 years before the siege of Jerusalem. . . Full story: telegraph.co.uk

The Feast of Trumpets - Part III
In Parts I and II of this series we studied Leviticus 23:2-3, Isaiah 18:1-3, and 27:12-13, from which Brother Branham drew a context for his teaching. We will now turn to his transcript. If you do not have the book, go to William Branham On-line; click "The Message," paste The Feast of the Trumpets in the search window, click "search," click the right-hand double arrow which will take you to a transcript of that title, mark, copy and paste into your notepad. I feel it will be helpful if we clarify some of Brother Branham's comments, which in this teaching can be particularly confronting.
According to Leviticus 23:24, the Feast of the Trumpets took place on the first day of the Hebrew month Tishri, and falls within our month of September. The Feast of Trumpets, announced the grand sabbatical month with the annual Day of Atonement for the nation's sins followed by the Feast of Tabernacles, which commemorated Israel's passage through the wilderness and offered thanksgiving for the harvest (Deuteronomy 16:13-15). It was a memorial to Israel of her Covenant and to put God in remembrance of His promises to the nation. Antitypically, it will be the ministry of two Hebrew prophets anointed with the portion of Spirit that endued Moses and Elijah. They will cause Israel to recall whence they have fallen by expounding the mystery of the Seven Trumpet judgments God has brought upon Israel since Calvary to chastise and fit them to receive His blessed promises (Zechariah 4; Matthew 24:31; Revelation 11; The Feast of the Trumpets, p. 3:22).
The mystery of the six written Seals were revealed under the Seventh Seal to gather the eleventh hour labourers, Christ's end-time Bride, to receive the same reward as the apostolic and Church Age saints (Matthew 20:1-17). The six Trumpet mysteries will be revealed to the 144,000 elect Israelites under their Seventh Trumpet during the great tribulation of the Sixth Seal to gather the house of Israel and the house of Judah from all parts of the world back into their homeland for redemption. Israel could not be redeemed under the Gentile dispensation as they were dispersed, but the nation will be redeemed in one day while the saints are celebrating the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the Sky.
A Seal unfolds a mystery, the angel to the Church receives the mystery of God allotted to his Age and begins to proclaim that Message, which starts a spiritual war. Natural war strikes Israel for refusing to heed the Gospel Trumpet and "bow the knee to Joseph," that is, to Jesus Messiah. Then God takes His messenger with the elect of that Age, and pours out a Vial upon those who did not fully enter into the present truth for their day. Succeeding generations organize and denominate from the Message so God sends another messenger to correct and lead them back to the faith from which they have erred and to reveal the Message for the new Age.
Whereas the Seven Seals expound the spiritual warfare we have fought for over two thousand years and were revealed to Spiritual Israel, the Church, in the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week the Seven Trumpets will reveal the natural wars that have befallen natural Israel since the Day of Pentecost. God set "enmity" between the Serpent and his spiritual and physical seed – hybrid religion that reasons against and perverts the revealed Word of God, and the hybrid lineage of Cain; against the Spiritual Seed of the last Adam, God's elect, and the natural offspring of the first Adam.
God's people are to be separated from unbelief. Spiritual Israelites must be wholly separated from the denomi-nations as natural Israelites are commanded to be wholly separated from the nations. When the twelve tribes of Israel intermarried with Edomite, Khazar and others not of Adam's race they became their cannon fodder, as God, who set "enmity" between them and the sons of Adam, forewarned in Deuteronomy 7 and 28. Israelites in particular suffer from these wars under the Seven Trumpet Judgments because Esau has sworn to kill Jacob/Israel in order to steal back the birthright. However, it is our once Christian nations that appear to be the warmongers because we have allowed natural and spiritual Serpent's seed to assimilate with us. Now we too are their cannon fodder, plagued by the Trumpets of their World Wars under the Fourth Seal, the Fifth and Sixth Trumpets (Matthew 24:7-8; Revelation 6:7-8; 9). "They lend to us, and we do not lend to them: they have become the head, and we have become the tail" (Deuteronomy 28:44). Whereas our Head should be Jesus Christ, through national apostasy they rule over us as if they were one of us, and enact laws whereby we are defenceless strangers in our own countries. They have put hooks into our jaws making us the vanguard of World War III that will grant them world hegemony as God will put hooks into the Jaws of the armies of the king of the North.
Brother Branham said, "The first three chapters of the Book of Revelation reveals all the happenings unto the Church. Then from the 3rd chapter unto the 19th chapter of Revelation there is no more seen of the Church. The Church goes up at the 4th chapter of Revelations and returns back at the 19th chapter of Revelations, the Bride and the Groom together coming to the earth. And then from the 19th chapter to the conclusive of the 22nd chapter, it's all on the millennium and what will be in the years that is to follow. During the 4th to the 19th, God is dealing with Israel" (The Feast of the Trumpets, 6:37).
Throughout the Book of Revelation John represents Christ's end-time Bride who will not see death. We know this because "the Book was sealed with Seven Seals unto the time of the end. . . but in the days of the Voice of the seventh angel the mystery of God should be finished as He has declared to His servants the prophets" (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:4, 7). God revealed the mystery of this Book to Jesus following His ascension (Matthew 24:36). After the Laodicean Church Age ended in March, 1963 (Revelation 3:14-22), Jesus revealed it to William Branham, who was the angel to that Age, and it was shown to John between AD95-96 in a series of visions wherein he saw and heard Brother Branham expound the revelation of the Seven Seals as Jesus revealed them to him between 1963 and 1965 (Revelation 1:1, 10, 12). In the flesh John was imprisoned on the island of Patmos, but in the Spirit he was free in the Lord's day, which will commence with the sounding of Israel's Seventh Trumpet at the end of our dispensation. Behind him John heard a great Voice like a trumpet, and turning around he looked from the Lord's day back into the past to man's day, and was shown an outline of history from the day of Pentecost to the new heavens and new earth.
When the last saint predestinated to the Laodicean Church Age was born again the PART-Word Body all the way back to Pentecost was complete. Christ's mediation finished at Revelation 3:22; the "seven lamps of Fire" which symbolize the seven-fold Spirit that anointed the Church Age messengers were back before the throne of God: the Mercy Seat was now a Judgment Seat (Revelation 4). Yet it was not until about twelve years after the Prophet's death that Christ's end-time Bride began to see the revelation of the Message and recognize His 'parousia' Coming. To this day most within the circle of this Message understand none of these things and presume the Gentile dispensation ends with Laodicea where their souls are imprisoned now. All seven Church Ages have been fulfilled, yet the open door set before the saints of the Philadelphian Age remains open (Revelation 3:8; 4:1). Grace did not end with Laodicea: Christ's Bride is resting in the holy convocation of the fiftieth day that followed the seventh sabbath of the Pentecostal Feast.
In the Philadelphian Age Jesus said, "Behold, I come quickly," and of the last Age, "I will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon Earth" (Romans 9:28; Matthew 24:22-28). Jesus Messiah is the Good Shepherd who lies down in the doorway of the sheepfold so that He is the door of the sheepfold, and only those that hear His Voice and possess the present truth, can enter (John 10:1-18; I John 1:7). He finished His work of mediation when the last saint predestinated to the seventh Church Age was born-again. The Church was finished with the very short work of Laodicea (1906-1963). The work was cut short by the revelation of the Seven Seals, unveiling the righteousness of the fullness of the Word, which is Christ. Thus "there is no more seen of the Church. The Church goes up at the 4th chapter of Revelations and returns back at the 19th chapter of Revelations, the Bride and the Groom together coming to the earth." His end-time Bride and the 144,000 elect Israelites were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary 2,000 years ago. Together with the Church Age saints He is resting, waiting for the last of His end-time Bride to hear His Voice and enter the Door into the sheepfold, "Come up hither, and I will show you things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the Spirit. . ." (Revelation 4:1-2).
The Voice we heard in Revelation 1:10 bade us enter the Presence or 'parousia' of Christ. We will not see His physical being until we are changed in the atoms and united with other members of the Body, but we hear Him speak to us in the still, small Voice of the Archangel, whispering His secrets in love to our heart, explaining the symbols of the Book and placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation (I Thessalonians 4:16). He puts strength into us as His revelation draws us into the unity of the faith.
While God was revealing the mysteries through Brother Branham, the Roman Catholic church was conducting Vatican II (October 11, 1962 – December 8, 1965). It adjourned on December 4, 1963, and there was a total eclipse of the moon on December 30, following which, the Pope visited Jerusalem (ibid. 7:48-57). Rome is the ancient enemy of natural and Spiritual Israel, a creature of the self-styled Jews who are the sworn enemy of natural and Spiritual Israel. As the Roman state and Jewish church united to crucify the Son of man, the Jewish state and the Romish church are uniting to crucify the Son of God afresh unto themselves (Daniel 9:27; 12:7; Revelation 12:7-17; 13:1-7).
The Moon signifies the Church, which reflects the Light of Christ, who is the Sun of Righteousness. The total eclipse of the Moon was caused as Earth, whose god is Satan and which represents worldliness, obscured the Light of Christ from the Church or Moon. Brother Branham said, God was giving witness to the revelation of the Seven Church Ages and the Seven Seals. Brother Branham said, "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 as the Pope of Rome (Paul the Sixth) went to Palestine to make a holy tour of Jerusalem. He was the first pope to ever go to Jerusalem. 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 shall not pass away until all be fulfilled. Even so Lord Jesus, come quickly!" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 359).
Throughout the Church Ages the Gospel Trumpet called to "whomsoever will;" but to Israel, blinded by the cacophony of the Pharisees' Babylonian Talmud which makes the Word of God of none effect, it was an uncertain sound. Trumpets are to call the people for a feast, for war, to announce the coming of an important person like the unseen 'parousia' of Joseph's Antitype for the Day of Atonement and the Year of Jubilee. How will Israel know unless they comprehend its sound with certainty? They will not know until three and a half years after the fact, when their two prophets have taken them back whence they fell, expounding God's chastisement of the house of Israel since 721BC and the house of Judah since 606BC, and in particular the whole house of Israel since Calvary, bringing them forward to their present distress by expounding the 2,000-year-old mystery of the Seven Trumpet judgments. God will keep them from knowing Him until after the martyrdom, public resurrection and ascent of their prophets (Revelation 11:7-13) as he kept Cleopas and Luke (?) from recognizing Him although they had walked together for almost eight miles on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-33).
As God called Israel out of Egypt by force, bringing plagues upon the Egyptians, the Gospel Trumpets announcing Joseph's Coming have been calling Spiritual Israelites out from bondage to Jewry, and smiting the people with plagues. After natural Israel separated from Egypt God took them to the Promised Land, and after Spiritual Israel separates from what "spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt," He will take the Church and the 144,000 elect Israelites to the eternal land of the Millennium.
When Christ's end-time Bride is ready for the manifestation of the Sons of God, the Great Trumpet will sound an end to the Gentile dispensation and all nations will gather against Israel for the "hot" phase of World War III. The revelation of the mystery of the Seven Trumpets do not concern us; they will be revealed to Israel during the tribulation under the Sixth Seal to separate them from Jewish fables after we have been translated to the Wedding Supper. This Seal is a persecution upon Israel and their impersonators by the leaders of these impersonators, whose World War III really will bring the political Zionists into conflict with political Islam, and neuter the power of both protagonists as planned in the nineteenth century.
Brother Branham said, "Sixth Seal. . . was for a threefold purpose. The first thing was that the foolish virgins. . . had to be purged of her sins of unbelief and rejecting the Message. . . another purging time; that's for Israel when she gathers. (Note: Not after 1945, they were Jews, but after the end of the Gentile dispensation under her Feast of Trumpets - Ed). That's the second fold. God purges Israel in the tribulation period. Out of the millions that'll gather there, there'll be a selected one hundred and forty-four thousand, and they will be purged also. God's purging Israel." (Note: God is not purging Jewry, He is purging Israel from Jewry as foretold in Malachi 3:2-18; Revelation 6:11-17 - Ed). Thirdly, "there is a whole earth is to be purged. There will be such a thing that the moon, stars, and all nature will be purged. . . The earth is renewing herself, being purged, getting ready for the millennium. . . everything that's got any filth in it is to be purged during the Sixth Seal" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 575:1-4).
Brother Branham spoke what he called, "Kentucky English" and "Kentucky grammar," saying, "like the Dutchman, you take me for what I mean and not what I say... I only work by revelation; the revelation has to be the Word. If it isn't according to the Word, then it's a wrong revelation." Taking his words and the commands of Isaiah 8:20; Malachi 3:6; Matthew 4:4; Acts 17:11; Romans 3:4; Galatians 1:8-9; I Thessalonians 5:21; II Timothy 2:15, and Revelation 22:17-19, etc., I am bound to be more precise in the terms I employ when seeking to deliver what the Spirit was revealing through the ministry of the Prophet, rather than parroting the "dead letter" of what he said.
Like many ministers and even theologians, Brother Branham conflates Jews with the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, which they inevitably are not, and Judaism with the Law and the prophets, when it is its antithesis. However, in many places he distinguished the sons of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, from the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic so-called Jews. There was no such word as "J_E_W" in any Bible published before the eighteenth century. The word "Jew" did not enter the King James Version until the revision of 1769, and the meaning of this new word contradicts the historic sense of the Scripture. Newsletter #479 featured a study in which Brother F. F. Bosworth distinguished the house of Israel from the house of Judah, and proved by Scripture, as did Brother Branham in The Feast of the Trumpets, that Israel will be ruled by Gentiles as it is today unto the consummation of all life on earth, and that the house of Israel and the house of Judah will be gathered into the Promised Land under the Sixth Seal.
Mark 4:34, "Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and when they were alone, He expounded all things to His disciples." The elect of God cannot be deceived on the revealed Word of God for they are Attributes of the Logos (Matthew 24:24; Hebrews 6:4; I Peter 1:22-25).
Brother Branham read II Corinthians 3:6 - 4:3, which ends, "But if our Gospel is hid, it is hid to them who are lost."
"May the Lord add His blessings to the reading of His Word. Now, my subject this morning, I trust that God will reveal this. And each time, if you who take the tapes and listen, I hope and trust that you have had a spiritual understanding of what that God has been trying to get over to the church without saying it right out. See? It's a thing sometime. . . We have to say things in such a way, that it might thin down, it might bring some to go out, some to leave, and some to ponder over. But that's done purposely. It must be done that way.
Then it might be that some would say, "You mean God would purposely do a thing like that?" He certainly did. He does yet.
He said one day, when He had thousands around Him; He said, "Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His Blood, you have no Life in you."
What kind of a statement do you think that a medical doctor or a nurse, or any fine intellectual person would think of a statement like that, for a Man that had a ministry like He had? Why, he would say, "Eat the flesh? That's cannibal. To drink human blood, it's a vampire. In other words, He wants us to be cannibals and vampires." And the whole audience walked away from Him.
And there was a ministerial association with Him, of seventy that had been chosen. And He turned to them, and He said, "What will you think when you see the Son of man ascending up from where He came from?" Now, He didn't explain that. He never explained how. Paul did that later on. He just said it. See? And then when this. . . He said, "What will you say to these ministers when you see the Son of man ascending up from where He come from?"
No doubt them men said, "Now, just a moment. Oh, we eat with Him. We fish with Him. We sleep with Him. We know where He was born. We seen the cradle that He was rocked in. And how does this Man. . . This is a hard saying." And the Bible said they didn't walk with Him any more; they left Him.
Then He had twelve left. He chose twelve, and one of them was a devil, He said. So He turned to them. And there's no one could explain what He had just said. "How are they going to eat His flesh and drink His Blood? And how did He come down when He was borned right here on earth?" See? They couldn't understand it. And then He turned to the apostles and He said, "Do you want to go also?"
And that's when the Apostle Peter made that great statement, "Lord, to whom would we go? (See?) For we are satisfied. We know assuredly that You and You alone have the Word of Life at this hour. (See?) And we're satisfied of that." See, they could not explain it. They. . .
You can't explain faith. It's something that you believe, and it's so solid that there's nothing else will take its place. Therefore, they knowed that the Word that was written for that age that they were living in, the Messianic age, that He fit that place exactly. And what could they do to go back in them cold, formal churches that they come out of? Said, "Where would we go to? (See?) We are fully persuaded that You have the Word of Life." See? And they couldn't explain it, but they believed it. See?
And Jesus said that to weed down His crowd (See?), till He could get the group together. And out of all those people, they, only eleven of them then understood actually Who He was. They knowed that He was God and God alone.
Now, my subject this morning is to reveal or unveil that God.
God has always, in every age, has hid behind a veil: all ages. But He's been God all the time. See? But He's kept Hisself hid from the world, and reveals Hisself to His elected, like the apostles at that day. Now, that was God speaking in Christ" (The Unveiling of God, p. 4:20-33).
In John 8:58, "Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." Brother Branham said, "See? See, they didn't understand it. He was shaking them parasites off of Him" (God is Identified by His Characteristics, p. 16:114-130). The Prophet quotes many other such instances. I hope these Scriptures answer some of the questions you may have pondered.
In every group there are three kinds of believers. There is the believer Messiah died to redeem. These elect are His sheep who hear His Voice and will not follow a stranger. There is the make-believer or imposter who is very religious like Judas; he knows the letter of the Bible and the Message but is without the faith, and there is the un-believer like Caiaphas.
The Gentile make-believer and un-believer has been led to believe that adherents to the Jewish religion are Old Testament believers awaiting their promised Messiah although Moses and Daniel foretold the year, month, week, day and hour of His death. However, Judaism follows the Babylonian Talmud which makes the Commandments of God of none effect (Matthew 15:6). Judaism teaches, "The Messiah [is] without metaphor the Jewish people" (Babylonian Talmud, Kethuboth 111a).
"The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy, and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this new world order the children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property, and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come, the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands" (Baruch Levy, Letter to Karl Marx, 'La Revue de Paris', p. 574, June 1, 1928).
Australia's so-called peak representative body of these self-proclaimed "messiahs" has persecuted me and the Church for thirteen years. This is our fourth year of litigation defending ourselves against brazen lies they cannot sustain with truth. Those who crucified Israel's Messiah (Psalm 78:35-36; Isaiah 44:6; 45:21-22) claim many false Jewish messiahs, including:
Judas of Galilee (?), son of Hezekiah/Ezekias, member of the Zealots faction who led a bloody revolt against a Roman census in AD 6. (Josephus, Antiquities, 18).
Simon (ca. 4 BC), a former slave of Herod the Great who rebelled.
Athronges (ca. 3 BC)
Jesus of Nazareth (ca. 4 BC - AD 30).
Theudas (? - 46), who attempted a short-lived revolt against the Romans before being slain. (Josephus, Antiquities, 20.5.1).
"Egyptian Prophet", c.55, (an allusion to Moses), massacred by Procurator Antonius Felix while reenacting the Exodus with 30,000 unarmed Jews (Josephus, Wars, 2.13.5, Josephus, Antiquities, 20.8.6, Acts 21:38).
Menahem ben Judah (?), allegedly son of Judas of Galilee, partook in a revolt against Agrippa II before being slain by a rival Zealot leader.
Simon bar Kokhba (?- ca. 135), founded a short-lived Jewish state before being defeated in the Second Jewish-Roman War.
Moses of Crete (?), who in about 440-470, convinced the Jews of Crete to attempt to walk into the sea to return to Israel; he disappeared after that disaster.
Ishak ben Ya'kub Obadiah Abu 'Isa al-Isfahani (684-705), who led a revolt in Persia against the Umayyad Caliph 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan.
Yudghan (?), a disciple of Abu 'Isa who continued the faith after Isa was slain.
Serene (?), who around 720 claimed to be the Messiah and advocated expulsion of Muslims and relaxing various rabbinic laws before being arrested; he then recanted.
David Alroy (?), born in Kurdistan, who around 1160 agitated against the caliph before being assassinated.
Nissim ben Abraham (?), active around 1295.
Moses Botarel of Cisneros (?), active around 1413; claimed to be a sorcerer able to combine the names of God.
Asher Lemmlein (?), a German near Venice who proclaimed himself a forerunner of the Messiah in 1502.
David Reubeni (1490-1541?) and Solomon Molcho (1500-1532), adventurers who traveled in Portugal, Italy, and Turkey; Molcho was eventually burned at the stake by the Pope.
A mostly unknown Czech Jew from around the 1650s.
Sabbatai Zevi (1626-1676), an Ottoman Jew who claimed to be the Messiah, but then converted to Islam; still has followers today in the Donmeh.
Barukhia Russo (Osman Baba), successor of Sabbatai Zevi.
Jacob Querido (?-1690), claimed to be the new incarnation of Sabbatai; later converted to Islam and led the Donmeh.
Miguel Cardoso (1630-1706), another successor of Sabbatai who claimed to be the "Messiah ben Ephraim."
Mordecai Mokia (1650-1729), "the Rebuker," another person who proclaimed himself Messiah after Sabbatai's death.
Löbele Prossnitz (?-1750), a proven fraud who nevertheless attained some following amongst former followers of Sabbatai, calling himself the "Messiah ben Joseph."
Jacob Joseph Frank (1726-1791), who claimed to be the reincarnation of King David and preached a synthesis of Christianity and Judaism.
Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994), his followers would sing Yechi Adonenu Moreinu v'Rabbeinu Melech Hamoshiach l'olam voed! – Long live our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe King Moshiach forever and ever! He vigorously encouraged the singing by swaying to and fro and swinging his hand—as he had done at the numerous farbrengens over the year. This prayer is sung every day by his followers, and is regarded as having a magical effect in bringing about the resurrection of this "King-Messiah".
This testifies to complete unbelief in the Law and absence of faith. Jesus Christ was rejected, yet his life matched every Scripture spoken of Messiah, while none of these "wannabes" identified with a single prophecy.
If "The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah," none of the Prime Ministers of the modern state of Israel qualify; most have been terrorists and have blood on their hands, or narrowly escaped imprisonment for criminal activities. Israel's Messiah was to be a Hebrew and Israelite of the Tribe of Judah; none of these people appear to have Semitic features. In deeds they resemble Saddam Hussein, who was of pure Semitic Iraqi blood like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; their physical features bear no relation to Mr. Hussein (with his overbite), the hanged stand-in (with his underbite), or any other Iraqi, Palestinian or Semitic person. God's law of reproduction requires everything bring forth after its own kind, whose seed is in itself. Was Moses a lying prophet, or are these so-called Jews "strangers?" and if so, which class of "stranger" are they? It is difficult to see these "wannabe" Messiahs as God's people, "chosen" to redeem Israel and "all the ends of the earth" (Isaiah 44:20-25)!
If these so-called Jews are not Semitic—and since they stole the land of Israel they have not ceased to kill and persecute those who are Semitic: Syrians and Iraqis, Hebrews and Palestinians who lived in harmony for centuries before these new arrivals—are they non-Semitic "strangers" as the Bible, historians and every Jewish Encyclopedia asserts? And are they not only hyperethnocentric but also anti-Semitic as indicated daily by reports in the Jewish-controlled news?
In the current issue of his Last Trumpet Newsletter, Pastor David J. Meyer writes, "We will examine the greatest of all problems in the United States at this present time. In fact, it is the condition that leads to all other problems and allows Satan and his Illuministic human stooges to advance their cause and hellish agenda of one-world governance in a new world order. The problem I am referring to is apathy toward truth.
In the Scriptures, our Saviour told us that it has always been Satan's job and purpose to lay a foundation of deceit and build upon it with lies. Lies thrive in the darkness of misunderstanding and secrecy, but truth shines forth and cannot be hid. People everywhere have a choice to accept or reject the light of truth. If they reject truth, there is nothing left but the darkness of Satan's kingdom and domain. The Lord Jesus clearly stated this as the greatest problem in the world in John 3:19 as follows: "And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil".
We now live in a world full of people who believe a whole lot of things that just aren't so, and they know very little about what is truly happening. It has been correctly stated that you can sell lies, but you cannot give the truth away. I might add that the truth is freely given to all who would gladly receive it and love it. Lies, however, always come with an ever-increasing price. Religions, governments, commerce, and every endeavor of sinful man are built on lies and deceit and are perpetuated by them. All that Satan has built up and established in the world through wars, commotions, craftiness of conspiracies, varieties of religions and brainwashing philosophies are leading up to one great lie and grand deception at the end of this world. . ."
The BIG, "Big Lie"! Satan's children are working to establish Lucifer's totalitarian one world government according to the Talmud as Baruch Levy wrote in his 1928 "Letter to Karl Marx" (Matthew 15:1-9; 23:33-35; John 8:44; Revelation 2:9; 3:9). Besides replicating the original sin, which was miscegenation, now deceitfully rebadged multiculturalism and mandated worldwide by their UN, "as it was in the days of Noah" (Matthew 24:37; Genesis 6:1-4), they are re-engineering man made in the image of God with dominion over Earth and all therein to a mind-controlled godless product evolved from and subject to "Mother Earth," and of course the unelected "peak representative body" of elite Jews who "will have all the property of the whole world in their hands." Self-deceptive thought control imposed by education and entertainments scientifically designed to this end, is mandated by statute and results in unbelief and apathy toward truth (II Thessalonians 2:10-12).
Bearing in mind what Brother Branham has said about ministering in such a way as to separate the elect believer from the make-believers and the un-believers who are without faith, consider what he said concerning the persecution of Israel under the Fifth and Sixth Trumpets of World Wars I and II, at which time Earth endured the first two woes of rebirth for the millennium (Matthew 24:8; Revelation 9:1-21; 11:14). In this Message and also in the revelation of the Fifth Seal he explains how God used those wars to force Israel back to the Promised Land. But Israel, "stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears" (Deuteronomy 10:13), would not forsake the flesh pots of fish; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick of civilization for obedience in the barren Land of the Covenant: very few relocated. In any event the political Zionists did not want the Covenant people, and forcibly shipped self-styled Jews, often against their will, or under the delusion they were bound for the United States.
Just as someone has to print the Bibles Christians study and someone had to build cities and plant crops to house and feed Israel before Joshua subdued Canaan, someone had to re-establish a state for Israel, build infrastructure and create an economy in Canaan after 1948 to accommodate 144,000 elect Israelites and their kindred who will return sixty years later to hear two Hebrew prophets expound the Feast of Trumpets. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).
The Babylonian Talmud, or Oral Torah (so-called) is considered by the rabbis more authoritative than the five Books of Moses, which it makes void. It claims Nebuzaradan slew 2.11 million Jews in a valley and 0.94 million in Jerusalem, and that warm blood bubbled up out of the ground. (An exceptional witness, Elie Wiesel, who contradicts himself from book to book, wrote regarding Babi Yar where it is claimed Jews were executed: "I learn from a witness that, for month after month, the ground never stopped trembling; and that, from time to time, geysers of blood spurted from it" (Paroles d'étranger, Editions du Seuil, 1982, p. 86). So he did not "learn from a witness," he "learned from the Talmud," the antithesis of Truth – Isaiah 8:20). Vespasian killed four billion Jews in the city of Bethar, and Hadrian slaughtered 1.2 million Jews in Alexandria (Gittin 57b). Gittin 58a claims Romans wrapped 16 million Jewish children in scrolls and burned them alive. However ancient demography indicates there were not 16 million Jews in the entire world at that time, much less 16 million Jewish children, or four billion Jews.
Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), the founder of Zionism, spoke in his first diaries of six million European Jews under threat and said the so-called Jewish state would only be realized if there were a disaster for these six million Jews. An early reference to the persecution of six million Jews appeared in Encyclopaedia Britannica, purchased in 1900 by the Jewish Rockefellers: "While there are in Russia and Rumania six millions of Jews who are being systematically degraded" ('Antisemitism' 10th Ed. 1902, p. 482). Next, Max Nordau declared at the World Zionist Congress of 1911: "How dare the smooth talkers, the clever official blabbers, open their mouths and boast of progress. . . Here they hold jubilant peace conferences in which they talk against war. . . But the same righteous governments, who are so nobly, industriously active to establish the eternal peace, are preparing, by their own confession, complete annihilation for six million people, and there is nobody, except the doomed themselves, to raise his voice in protest although this is a worse crime than any war . . ." (Quoted from Perfidy, p. 254, by fellow-Zionist Ben Hecht). The Bolshevists and the British government also used the six million figure in holocaust propaganda against Germany during World War I.
In 1919 The American Hebrew Magazine wrote, "Because of this war for Democracy six million Jewish men and women are starving across the seas. . ." That was the holocaust of World War I. Jews must burn brighter than we "human cattle" whom they consider "beasts with two legs God made in human form to serve Jews." So many holocausts of so many billions of Jews have been claimed. Three just in the twentieth century, each of six million Jews. Nobody seems to burn non-Jews; even the odd Buddhist monk and nun has had to self-immolate.
Between World Wars I and II The New York Times (1920-1926) reported prominent Jews such as Leopold de Rothschild, Lord Swaythling, Dr. Joseph Herman Hertz The Very Reverend the Chief Rabbi of the British Empire who wrote the Foreword to the Soncino English Edition of the Babylonian Talmud, and Israel Zangwill in England, and in the United States, Felix Warburg, Louis Marshall, Louis Untermyer, President of the New York Board of Jewish Ministers and Rabbi Israel Goldstein raised hundreds of millions for six million Jewish victims of this second holocaust.
The New York Times of December 13, 1942 informs us how the indefatigable Rabbi Israel Goldstein is already predicting a holocaust of a further six million Jews in World War II. Five days later in the same paper the United Nations issued a joint declaration by the Allies simultaneously through the State Department in Washington and in London along the same lines. And on March 2, 1943 The New York Times reported a mass demonstration in Madison Square Garden addressed by The Very Reverend Dr. Joseph Herman Hertz, the Chief Rabbi of the British Empire, with Wendell Wilkie and Chaim Weizmann, pushing the prescient six million.
Since Jews were very much a minority among those incarcerated by Germany in World War II, if six million Jews perished in this third holocaust, pro-rata, one should have anticipated 20 million non-Jews suffered the same fate, unless, of course, they were fire-proofed. If 26 million human beings were exterminated in Nazi internment camps between 1942 and 1945, how many tens of millions of "holocaust survivors" are there? We know Rothschild's Bank of England and other Jewish-owned banks financed Hitler throughout the War, but how did little Germany manage to intern over 100 million prisoners and fight on two fronts? The logistics of gassing and cremating the population of Hong Kong, or the combined populations of Sydney and Melbourne in a two year period, in secret, leaving no clerical records, and no ash, while throughout it all, plucky Jews in Auschwitz maintained three symphony orchestras, ran their little businesses, played sport, married, bore children, took no photographs of "extermination gas chambers" or immense crematoria, is incredible.
According to Jewish Professor Norman Finkelstein’s book, The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering, (2000). "Not only does the '6 Million' figure become more untenable but the numbers of the Holocaust industry are rapidly approaching those of Holocaust deniers" (p. 127). "Indeed, the field of Holocaust studies is replete with nonsense, if not sheer fraud" (p. 55). "Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg cast a plague on both sides, sneering that "it's not about justice, it's a fight for money" (p. 87). "In recent years, the Holocaust industry has become an outright extortion racket" (p. 89). "In what has become a mantra of the Holocaust restitution racket, this constituted "the greatest robbery in the history of mankind" (p. 94). "If everyone who claims to be a survivor actually is one," my mother used to exclaim, "who did Hitler kill?" (p. 81).
The International Red Cross audit to January 16, 1984 records a total 282,077 registered deaths of all internees in all German Concentration Camps from all causes. According to CV Zeitung monthly, the Central Organ of German Jewry, there were 565,000 "Jews" in Germany in 1933 when Jewry declared war. Subsequently two-thirds emigrated, so that by 1938 only some 140.000 remained. Sixty years after this most recent holocaust of six million Jews the Simon Wiesenthal Center Library & Archives wrote: "Thank you for your email inquiry. As of this writing, there is no database of 6 million names. Yad Vashem is planning to release approximately one million names on a database sometime this year and has plans to include several million more in the future. Please go to: www.yadvashem.org.il for details."
Chief-Rabbi Arye Friedman of Vienna declared: "The holocaust is a successful historical fiction" (Süddeutsche Zeitung, December 12, 2006, p. 7). The 1967 edition of the Jewish-owned Encyclopaedia Britannica mentions "poison gas," of which they knew nothing in their 1956 edition, but there is still no knowledge of a "holocaust."
Three of the best known works on the Second World War are General Eisenhower's Crusade in Europe (1948), Winston Churchill's The Second World War (1948-1954), and the Mémoires de guerre of General de Gaulle (1954-1959). In these three works not the least mention of Nazi gas chambers is to be found. Eisenhower's Crusade in Europe is a book of 559 pages; the six volumes of Churchill's Second World War total 4,448 pages; and de Gaulle's three-volume Mémoires de guerre is 2,054 pages. In this mass of writing, which altogether totals 7,061 pages (not including the introductory parts), published from 1948 to 1959, one will find no mention either of Nazi "gas chambers," a "genocide" of the Jews, or a hint of "six million" Jewish victims of the war.
Paul commanded, "Do not give heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who reject the Gospel" (Titus 1:14). Jesus Messiah said the Pharisees are liars (John 8:44; I John 2:22), and God commanded Moses and the children of Israel to have no association but to utterly slay their forebears whenever they encountered them in the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 7:1-2; 20:16-18). Decide this day: if Jewish fables be your God, serve the fables of those who rejected the Gospel and murdered your Messiah, but if the Logos is God, obey THUS SAITH THE LORD!
The "holocaust" began with the Eichmann Trial in 1961. Film of that kangaroo court shows Adolf Eichmann, an avowed Zionist Jew himself, make absolute fools of the corrupt jurists. Believe Jewish fables if you will, just be warned that when Israel's Seventh Trumpet sounds you will find yourself outside the City with "the dogs, and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and all who love to lie and do so," with no oil in your lamp saying, "Lord, Lord, open to us! And He will answer, I know you not" (Revelation 22:15; Matthew 25:11-12; 7:21-23).
In 1933 God showed Brother Branham seven continuous visions that would transpire before the Coming of the Lord: "The first vision was that Mussolini would invade Ethiopia and that nation would "fall at his steps". That vision surely did cause some repercussions, and some were very angry when I said it, and would not believe it. But it happened that way. He just walked in there with his modern arms and took over. The natives didn't have a chance. But the vision also said that Mussolini would come to a horrible end with his own people turning on him. That came to pass just exactly as it was said.
The next vision foretold that an Austrian by the name of Adolph Hitler would rise up as dictator over Germany, and that he would draw the world into war. It showed the Siegfried line and how our troops would have a terrible time to overcome it. Then it showed that Hitler would come to a mysterious end.
The third vision was in the realm of world politics for it showed me that there would be three great ISMS, Fascism, Nazism, Communism, but that the first two would be swallowed up into the third. The voice admonished, "WATCH RUSSIA, WATCH RUSSIA. Keep your eye on the King of the North" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 321:2-4).
Search the transcripts of Brother Branham's 1,200 recorded sermons. He never used the word "holocaust." Not until the so-called Jews began to market their third holocaust of six million Jews in the 20th century, saturating the media, did he even hint at the horrors being promoted. In The Revelation of the Seven Seals (p. 364:8) he said, "Hitler hated them, and so did Eichmann, and so did Stalin. . ." However each of these men was himself a Jew, as were Churchill and Roosevelt. In The Feast of the Trumpets (p. 23:175), we read emotion excited by current newspaper propaganda. However, I believe he was inspired of God, "to weed down his crowd. . . that it might thin down, it might bring some to go out, some to leave, and some to ponder over. But that's done purposely. It must be done that way. . . shaking them parasites off." The Lord God knew that had he spoken plainly as I am speaking now, persecution, violence and never-ending litigation would have made the saints a hunted and persecuted little group before the time. We soon will be, but the Lord will take us Home while the foolish virgin and all who believed a second-hand religion of Jewish fables instead of God's unchanging Word, "proving all things," will be martyred, as will Israel's two prophets and the 144,000 elect Israelites "for the Commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus" (Revelation 14:12).
Your duty to God and your responsibility to yourself is to "receive what you have read with all readiness of mind, and search the Scriptures, whether these things are so" (Acts 17:11). As Brother Meyer said, "We now live in a world full of people who believe a whole lot of things that just aren't so, and know very little about what is truly happening." The deceit of leaders of "Jews as a group" is stealing souls: their own scholars state most Jews are non-Semitic Gentiles. The day of redemption for those who are in Adam's race will end with the Gentile dispensation. When God turns to Israel He will be dealing solely with an election of the blood descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Land of the Covenant. The United States has been destroyed from within by the very people who destroyed ancient Israel, England, France, Germany, Russia, and many other nations, ancient and modern. Those sons of the Serpent with the mark of Cain have white-anted this end-time Message as the locust, the cankerworm, the caterpillar and the palmerworm reasoned against the Messages of all God's holy prophets, whose blood they shed.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, prove what the preacher says. Don't you be satisfied with believing: contend for the faith. When the Trumpet sounds there will be no more time for repentance. nl484.htm

US sends 'Nuclear Flash Alert' Message to all Military Forces
July 11, 2007 – For a second time in the past few weeks, the War Leaders of the United States have sent an 'extended' Emergency Action Message (EAM) to its military forces around the World. . . Russian Military Analysts reporting on these matters to the Kremlin today point out that an American attack upon either Iran or Syria would result in 'national suicide' for the United States due to International condemnation, the counter-attacks faced by their vulnerable forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and, most importantly, the collapse of the American economy.
These reports also state, curiously, that 'national suicide' may actually be the plan of America’s War Leaders, and based upon the 'model' which collapsed the former Soviet Empire, and whose downfall is eerily reminiscent of what the United States is facing today, in both their wars and their economy.
Based upon this 'theory' of intentional 'national suicide' by the American’s it is interesting to note that their economic leaders are now openly talking about the collapse of the US dollar and its replacement with the 'Amero,' and which is the proposed currency of the new North American Union comprised of the nations of the United States, Mexico and Canada. . . Full story: whatdoesitmean.com
Comment: The United States has been set up for destruction. By amalgamating with Canada and Mexico with the United States under the Federal Reserve's new Amero, many millions more citizens will become enslaved by this Ponzi scheme. Brother Branham prophesied of this depression, and in 1933 God showed seven continuous visions to His prophet: "I saw this United States burning like a smolder; rocks had been blowed up. And it was burning like a heap of fire in logs or something that just set it afire; and looked as far as I could see and she'd been blown up. And then the vision left me. Five out of the seven has happened.

Wild Weather: Covert War or Divine Wrath?
June 27, 2007 – The HAARP program is actually part of an American "scalar" physics research program. Retired USAF Lt. Colonel Tom Bearden headed up scalar physics research and development for the US Air force for many years. Since Bearden's retirement, he has written extensively on the subject and the tremendous threats posed by scalar weapons developments including the ability to create and control weather. He claims Russia is far more advanced in scalar physics development than is the United States and is fully capable of producing such weather phenomenon as we are not seeing unfold. . .

Pope relaxes Restrictions on Use of Tridentine Mass
Vatican City, July 6, 2007 – Benedict XVI's apostolic letter concerning the Roman Missal promulgated by John XXIII in 1962, will not reinstate a prayer for the conversion of "perfidious Jews" or ask Jewish catechumens to "disavow Jewish unbelieving, deny Hebrew superstition". . . Full story: zenit.org youtube.com
Vatican City, July 7, 2007 – In a long-awaited overture to disaffected Catholic traditionalists, Pope Benedict XVI relaxed restrictions on the use of the Tridentine Mass, the Latin-language liturgy that predates the Second Vatican Council. The pope said Mass celebrated according to the 1962 Roman Missal, commonly known as the Tridentine rite, should be made available in every parish where groups of the faithful desire it. . . Full story: catholicnews.com
Comment: The Roman Missal adopted by Pope Paul VI in 1969, and put into effect in 1970, reformulated the prayer. It reads: "Let us pray for the Jewish people, the first to hear the word of God, that they may continue to grow in the love of his name and in faithfulness to his covenant. Almighty and eternal God, long ago you gave your promise to Abraham and his posterity. Listen to your Church as we pray that the people you first made your own may arrive at the fullness of redemption."
With the exception of one word, this is our prayer. God made no covenant with "the Jewish people," few of whom are related to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. His conditional covenants were with the Israelites, a different people entirely.
We are approaching the Sixth Seal under which the vast majority of those in the circle of this Message will discover their lamps have gone out for want of oil; Rome and the Jews will persecute the Israelites, as they have unceasingly throughout history. But after three and a half years, Rome will break her union with the Jews Armageddon will set in.

Martyrs of Revelation in the New World Order
This is an interesting website with "illuminating" links, particularly the signature of the Illuminati's occult seal that has been designed into Australia's Parliament House as it is designed into Washington DC, forms the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States and was placed on the Federal Reserve one Dollar note in 1933. This provides an insight into the workings of the god of this world and confirms the authority with which Lucifer made his offer to Jesus in Matthew 4:9. A tour over the Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is also informative. However, browsing through the human reasonings with which the author has interpreted Scripture one utters a silent "Praise the Lord for sending us a prophet in these last days with the certainty of THUS SAITH THE LORD".

Tiny Tablet provides Proof for Old Testament
July 11, 2007 – The British Museum's great Arched Room, which holds its collection of 130,000 Assyrian cuneiform tablets, dating back 5,000 years. . . Searching for Babylonian financial accounts among the tablets, Prof. Jursa suddenly came across a name he half remembered — Nabu-sharrussu-ukin, described there in a hand 2,500 years old, as "the chief eunuch" of Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon. . .
Nebo-Sarsekim, according to Jeremiah, was Nebuchadnezzar II's "chief officer" and was with him at the siege of Jerusalem in 587 BC, when the Babylonians overran the city. The small tablet, the size of "a packet of 10 cigarettes" according to Irving Finkel, a British Museum expert, is a bill of receipt acknowledging Nabu-sharrussu-ukin's payment of 0.75 kg of gold to a temple in Babylon. The tablet is dated to the 10th year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II, 595BC, 12 years before the siege of Jerusalem. . . Full story: telegraph.co.uk

The Feast of Trumpets - Part III
In Parts I and II of this series we studied Leviticus 23:2-3, Isaiah 18:1-3, and 27:12-13, from which Brother Branham drew a context for his teaching. We will now turn to his transcript. If you do not have the book, go to William Branham On-line; click "The Message," paste The Feast of the Trumpets in the search window, click "search," click the right-hand double arrow which will take you to a transcript of that title, mark, copy and paste into your notepad. I feel it will be helpful if we clarify some of Brother Branham's comments, which in this teaching can be particularly confronting.
According to Leviticus 23:24, the Feast of the Trumpets took place on the first day of the Hebrew month Tishri, and falls within our month of September. The Feast of Trumpets, announced the grand sabbatical month with the annual Day of Atonement for the nation's sins followed by the Feast of Tabernacles, which commemorated Israel's passage through the wilderness and offered thanksgiving for the harvest (Deuteronomy 16:13-15). It was a memorial to Israel of her Covenant and to put God in remembrance of His promises to the nation. Antitypically, it will be the ministry of two Hebrew prophets anointed with the portion of Spirit that endued Moses and Elijah. They will cause Israel to recall whence they have fallen by expounding the mystery of the Seven Trumpet judgments God has brought upon Israel since Calvary to chastise and fit them to receive His blessed promises (Zechariah 4; Matthew 24:31; Revelation 11; The Feast of the Trumpets, p. 3:22).
The mystery of the six written Seals were revealed under the Seventh Seal to gather the eleventh hour labourers, Christ's end-time Bride, to receive the same reward as the apostolic and Church Age saints (Matthew 20:1-17). The six Trumpet mysteries will be revealed to the 144,000 elect Israelites under their Seventh Trumpet during the great tribulation of the Sixth Seal to gather the house of Israel and the house of Judah from all parts of the world back into their homeland for redemption. Israel could not be redeemed under the Gentile dispensation as they were dispersed, but the nation will be redeemed in one day while the saints are celebrating the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the Sky.
A Seal unfolds a mystery, the angel to the Church receives the mystery of God allotted to his Age and begins to proclaim that Message, which starts a spiritual war. Natural war strikes Israel for refusing to heed the Gospel Trumpet and "bow the knee to Joseph," that is, to Jesus Messiah. Then God takes His messenger with the elect of that Age, and pours out a Vial upon those who did not fully enter into the present truth for their day. Succeeding generations organize and denominate from the Message so God sends another messenger to correct and lead them back to the faith from which they have erred and to reveal the Message for the new Age.
Whereas the Seven Seals expound the spiritual warfare we have fought for over two thousand years and were revealed to Spiritual Israel, the Church, in the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week the Seven Trumpets will reveal the natural wars that have befallen natural Israel since the Day of Pentecost. God set "enmity" between the Serpent and his spiritual and physical seed – hybrid religion that reasons against and perverts the revealed Word of God, and the hybrid lineage of Cain; against the Spiritual Seed of the last Adam, God's elect, and the natural offspring of the first Adam.
God's people are to be separated from unbelief. Spiritual Israelites must be wholly separated from the denomi-nations as natural Israelites are commanded to be wholly separated from the nations. When the twelve tribes of Israel intermarried with Edomite, Khazar and others not of Adam's race they became their cannon fodder, as God, who set "enmity" between them and the sons of Adam, forewarned in Deuteronomy 7 and 28. Israelites in particular suffer from these wars under the Seven Trumpet Judgments because Esau has sworn to kill Jacob/Israel in order to steal back the birthright. However, it is our once Christian nations that appear to be the warmongers because we have allowed natural and spiritual Serpent's seed to assimilate with us. Now we too are their cannon fodder, plagued by the Trumpets of their World Wars under the Fourth Seal, the Fifth and Sixth Trumpets (Matthew 24:7-8; Revelation 6:7-8; 9). "They lend to us, and we do not lend to them: they have become the head, and we have become the tail" (Deuteronomy 28:44). Whereas our Head should be Jesus Christ, through national apostasy they rule over us as if they were one of us, and enact laws whereby we are defenceless strangers in our own countries. They have put hooks into our jaws making us the vanguard of World War III that will grant them world hegemony as God will put hooks into the Jaws of the armies of the king of the North.
Brother Branham said, "The first three chapters of the Book of Revelation reveals all the happenings unto the Church. Then from the 3rd chapter unto the 19th chapter of Revelation there is no more seen of the Church. The Church goes up at the 4th chapter of Revelations and returns back at the 19th chapter of Revelations, the Bride and the Groom together coming to the earth. And then from the 19th chapter to the conclusive of the 22nd chapter, it's all on the millennium and what will be in the years that is to follow. During the 4th to the 19th, God is dealing with Israel" (The Feast of the Trumpets, 6:37).
Throughout the Book of Revelation John represents Christ's end-time Bride who will not see death. We know this because "the Book was sealed with Seven Seals unto the time of the end. . . but in the days of the Voice of the seventh angel the mystery of God should be finished as He has declared to His servants the prophets" (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:4, 7). God revealed the mystery of this Book to Jesus following His ascension (Matthew 24:36). After the Laodicean Church Age ended in March, 1963 (Revelation 3:14-22), Jesus revealed it to William Branham, who was the angel to that Age, and it was shown to John between AD95-96 in a series of visions wherein he saw and heard Brother Branham expound the revelation of the Seven Seals as Jesus revealed them to him between 1963 and 1965 (Revelation 1:1, 10, 12). In the flesh John was imprisoned on the island of Patmos, but in the Spirit he was free in the Lord's day, which will commence with the sounding of Israel's Seventh Trumpet at the end of our dispensation. Behind him John heard a great Voice like a trumpet, and turning around he looked from the Lord's day back into the past to man's day, and was shown an outline of history from the day of Pentecost to the new heavens and new earth.
When the last saint predestinated to the Laodicean Church Age was born again the PART-Word Body all the way back to Pentecost was complete. Christ's mediation finished at Revelation 3:22; the "seven lamps of Fire" which symbolize the seven-fold Spirit that anointed the Church Age messengers were back before the throne of God: the Mercy Seat was now a Judgment Seat (Revelation 4). Yet it was not until about twelve years after the Prophet's death that Christ's end-time Bride began to see the revelation of the Message and recognize His 'parousia' Coming. To this day most within the circle of this Message understand none of these things and presume the Gentile dispensation ends with Laodicea where their souls are imprisoned now. All seven Church Ages have been fulfilled, yet the open door set before the saints of the Philadelphian Age remains open (Revelation 3:8; 4:1). Grace did not end with Laodicea: Christ's Bride is resting in the holy convocation of the fiftieth day that followed the seventh sabbath of the Pentecostal Feast.
In the Philadelphian Age Jesus said, "Behold, I come quickly," and of the last Age, "I will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon Earth" (Romans 9:28; Matthew 24:22-28). Jesus Messiah is the Good Shepherd who lies down in the doorway of the sheepfold so that He is the door of the sheepfold, and only those that hear His Voice and possess the present truth, can enter (John 10:1-18; I John 1:7). He finished His work of mediation when the last saint predestinated to the seventh Church Age was born-again. The Church was finished with the very short work of Laodicea (1906-1963). The work was cut short by the revelation of the Seven Seals, unveiling the righteousness of the fullness of the Word, which is Christ. Thus "there is no more seen of the Church. The Church goes up at the 4th chapter of Revelations and returns back at the 19th chapter of Revelations, the Bride and the Groom together coming to the earth." His end-time Bride and the 144,000 elect Israelites were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary 2,000 years ago. Together with the Church Age saints He is resting, waiting for the last of His end-time Bride to hear His Voice and enter the Door into the sheepfold, "Come up hither, and I will show you things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the Spirit. . ." (Revelation 4:1-2).
The Voice we heard in Revelation 1:10 bade us enter the Presence or 'parousia' of Christ. We will not see His physical being until we are changed in the atoms and united with other members of the Body, but we hear Him speak to us in the still, small Voice of the Archangel, whispering His secrets in love to our heart, explaining the symbols of the Book and placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation (I Thessalonians 4:16). He puts strength into us as His revelation draws us into the unity of the faith.
While God was revealing the mysteries through Brother Branham, the Roman Catholic church was conducting Vatican II (October 11, 1962 – December 8, 1965). It adjourned on December 4, 1963, and there was a total eclipse of the moon on December 30, following which, the Pope visited Jerusalem (ibid. 7:48-57). Rome is the ancient enemy of natural and Spiritual Israel, a creature of the self-styled Jews who are the sworn enemy of natural and Spiritual Israel. As the Roman state and Jewish church united to crucify the Son of man, the Jewish state and the Romish church are uniting to crucify the Son of God afresh unto themselves (Daniel 9:27; 12:7; Revelation 12:7-17; 13:1-7).
The Moon signifies the Church, which reflects the Light of Christ, who is the Sun of Righteousness. The total eclipse of the Moon was caused as Earth, whose god is Satan and which represents worldliness, obscured the Light of Christ from the Church or Moon. Brother Branham said, God was giving witness to the revelation of the Seven Church Ages and the Seven Seals. Brother Branham said, "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 as the Pope of Rome (Paul the Sixth) went to Palestine to make a holy tour of Jerusalem. He was the first pope to ever go to Jerusalem. 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 shall not pass away until all be fulfilled. Even so Lord Jesus, come quickly!" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 359).
Throughout the Church Ages the Gospel Trumpet called to "whomsoever will;" but to Israel, blinded by the cacophony of the Pharisees' Babylonian Talmud which makes the Word of God of none effect, it was an uncertain sound. Trumpets are to call the people for a feast, for war, to announce the coming of an important person like the unseen 'parousia' of Joseph's Antitype for the Day of Atonement and the Year of Jubilee. How will Israel know unless they comprehend its sound with certainty? They will not know until three and a half years after the fact, when their two prophets have taken them back whence they fell, expounding God's chastisement of the house of Israel since 721BC and the house of Judah since 606BC, and in particular the whole house of Israel since Calvary, bringing them forward to their present distress by expounding the 2,000-year-old mystery of the Seven Trumpet judgments. God will keep them from knowing Him until after the martyrdom, public resurrection and ascent of their prophets (Revelation 11:7-13) as he kept Cleopas and Luke (?) from recognizing Him although they had walked together for almost eight miles on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-33).
As God called Israel out of Egypt by force, bringing plagues upon the Egyptians, the Gospel Trumpets announcing Joseph's Coming have been calling Spiritual Israelites out from bondage to Jewry, and smiting the people with plagues. After natural Israel separated from Egypt God took them to the Promised Land, and after Spiritual Israel separates from what "spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt," He will take the Church and the 144,000 elect Israelites to the eternal land of the Millennium.
When Christ's end-time Bride is ready for the manifestation of the Sons of God, the Great Trumpet will sound an end to the Gentile dispensation and all nations will gather against Israel for the "hot" phase of World War III. The revelation of the mystery of the Seven Trumpets do not concern us; they will be revealed to Israel during the tribulation under the Sixth Seal to separate them from Jewish fables after we have been translated to the Wedding Supper. This Seal is a persecution upon Israel and their impersonators by the leaders of these impersonators, whose World War III really will bring the political Zionists into conflict with political Islam, and neuter the power of both protagonists as planned in the nineteenth century.
Brother Branham said, "Sixth Seal. . . was for a threefold purpose. The first thing was that the foolish virgins. . . had to be purged of her sins of unbelief and rejecting the Message. . . another purging time; that's for Israel when she gathers. (Note: Not after 1945, they were Jews, but after the end of the Gentile dispensation under her Feast of Trumpets - Ed). That's the second fold. God purges Israel in the tribulation period. Out of the millions that'll gather there, there'll be a selected one hundred and forty-four thousand, and they will be purged also. God's purging Israel." (Note: God is not purging Jewry, He is purging Israel from Jewry as foretold in Malachi 3:2-18; Revelation 6:11-17 - Ed). Thirdly, "there is a whole earth is to be purged. There will be such a thing that the moon, stars, and all nature will be purged. . . The earth is renewing herself, being purged, getting ready for the millennium. . . everything that's got any filth in it is to be purged during the Sixth Seal" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 575:1-4).
Brother Branham spoke what he called, "Kentucky English" and "Kentucky grammar," saying, "like the Dutchman, you take me for what I mean and not what I say... I only work by revelation; the revelation has to be the Word. If it isn't according to the Word, then it's a wrong revelation." Taking his words and the commands of Isaiah 8:20; Malachi 3:6; Matthew 4:4; Acts 17:11; Romans 3:4; Galatians 1:8-9; I Thessalonians 5:21; II Timothy 2:15, and Revelation 22:17-19, etc., I am bound to be more precise in the terms I employ when seeking to deliver what the Spirit was revealing through the ministry of the Prophet, rather than parroting the "dead letter" of what he said.
Like many ministers and even theologians, Brother Branham conflates Jews with the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, which they inevitably are not, and Judaism with the Law and the prophets, when it is its antithesis. However, in many places he distinguished the sons of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, from the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic so-called Jews. There was no such word as "J_E_W" in any Bible published before the eighteenth century. The word "Jew" did not enter the King James Version until the revision of 1769, and the meaning of this new word contradicts the historic sense of the Scripture. Newsletter #479 featured a study in which Brother F. F. Bosworth distinguished the house of Israel from the house of Judah, and proved by Scripture, as did Brother Branham in The Feast of the Trumpets, that Israel will be ruled by Gentiles as it is today unto the consummation of all life on earth, and that the house of Israel and the house of Judah will be gathered into the Promised Land under the Sixth Seal.
Mark 4:34, "Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and when they were alone, He expounded all things to His disciples." The elect of God cannot be deceived on the revealed Word of God for they are Attributes of the Logos (Matthew 24:24; Hebrews 6:4; I Peter 1:22-25).
Brother Branham read II Corinthians 3:6 - 4:3, which ends, "But if our Gospel is hid, it is hid to them who are lost."
"May the Lord add His blessings to the reading of His Word. Now, my subject this morning, I trust that God will reveal this. And each time, if you who take the tapes and listen, I hope and trust that you have had a spiritual understanding of what that God has been trying to get over to the church without saying it right out. See? It's a thing sometime. . . We have to say things in such a way, that it might thin down, it might bring some to go out, some to leave, and some to ponder over. But that's done purposely. It must be done that way.
Then it might be that some would say, "You mean God would purposely do a thing like that?" He certainly did. He does yet.
He said one day, when He had thousands around Him; He said, "Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His Blood, you have no Life in you."
What kind of a statement do you think that a medical doctor or a nurse, or any fine intellectual person would think of a statement like that, for a Man that had a ministry like He had? Why, he would say, "Eat the flesh? That's cannibal. To drink human blood, it's a vampire. In other words, He wants us to be cannibals and vampires." And the whole audience walked away from Him.
And there was a ministerial association with Him, of seventy that had been chosen. And He turned to them, and He said, "What will you think when you see the Son of man ascending up from where He came from?" Now, He didn't explain that. He never explained how. Paul did that later on. He just said it. See? And then when this. . . He said, "What will you say to these ministers when you see the Son of man ascending up from where He come from?"
No doubt them men said, "Now, just a moment. Oh, we eat with Him. We fish with Him. We sleep with Him. We know where He was born. We seen the cradle that He was rocked in. And how does this Man. . . This is a hard saying." And the Bible said they didn't walk with Him any more; they left Him.
Then He had twelve left. He chose twelve, and one of them was a devil, He said. So He turned to them. And there's no one could explain what He had just said. "How are they going to eat His flesh and drink His Blood? And how did He come down when He was borned right here on earth?" See? They couldn't understand it. And then He turned to the apostles and He said, "Do you want to go also?"
And that's when the Apostle Peter made that great statement, "Lord, to whom would we go? (See?) For we are satisfied. We know assuredly that You and You alone have the Word of Life at this hour. (See?) And we're satisfied of that." See, they could not explain it. They. . .
You can't explain faith. It's something that you believe, and it's so solid that there's nothing else will take its place. Therefore, they knowed that the Word that was written for that age that they were living in, the Messianic age, that He fit that place exactly. And what could they do to go back in them cold, formal churches that they come out of? Said, "Where would we go to? (See?) We are fully persuaded that You have the Word of Life." See? And they couldn't explain it, but they believed it. See?
And Jesus said that to weed down His crowd (See?), till He could get the group together. And out of all those people, they, only eleven of them then understood actually Who He was. They knowed that He was God and God alone.
Now, my subject this morning is to reveal or unveil that God.
God has always, in every age, has hid behind a veil: all ages. But He's been God all the time. See? But He's kept Hisself hid from the world, and reveals Hisself to His elected, like the apostles at that day. Now, that was God speaking in Christ" (The Unveiling of God, p. 4:20-33).
In John 8:58, "Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." Brother Branham said, "See? See, they didn't understand it. He was shaking them parasites off of Him" (God is Identified by His Characteristics, p. 16:114-130). The Prophet quotes many other such instances. I hope these Scriptures answer some of the questions you may have pondered.
In every group there are three kinds of believers. There is the believer Messiah died to redeem. These elect are His sheep who hear His Voice and will not follow a stranger. There is the make-believer or imposter who is very religious like Judas; he knows the letter of the Bible and the Message but is without the faith, and there is the un-believer like Caiaphas.
The Gentile make-believer and un-believer has been led to believe that adherents to the Jewish religion are Old Testament believers awaiting their promised Messiah although Moses and Daniel foretold the year, month, week, day and hour of His death. However, Judaism follows the Babylonian Talmud which makes the Commandments of God of none effect (Matthew 15:6). Judaism teaches, "The Messiah [is] without metaphor the Jewish people" (Babylonian Talmud, Kethuboth 111a).
"The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy, and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this new world order the children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property, and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come, the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands" (Baruch Levy, Letter to Karl Marx, 'La Revue de Paris', p. 574, June 1, 1928).
Australia's so-called peak representative body of these self-proclaimed "messiahs" has persecuted me and the Church for thirteen years. This is our fourth year of litigation defending ourselves against brazen lies they cannot sustain with truth. Those who crucified Israel's Messiah (Psalm 78:35-36; Isaiah 44:6; 45:21-22) claim many false Jewish messiahs, including:
Judas of Galilee (?), son of Hezekiah/Ezekias, member of the Zealots faction who led a bloody revolt against a Roman census in AD 6. (Josephus, Antiquities, 18).
Simon (ca. 4 BC), a former slave of Herod the Great who rebelled.
Athronges (ca. 3 BC)
Jesus of Nazareth (ca. 4 BC - AD 30).
Theudas (? - 46), who attempted a short-lived revolt against the Romans before being slain. (Josephus, Antiquities, 20.5.1).
"Egyptian Prophet", c.55, (an allusion to Moses), massacred by Procurator Antonius Felix while reenacting the Exodus with 30,000 unarmed Jews (Josephus, Wars, 2.13.5, Josephus, Antiquities, 20.8.6, Acts 21:38).
Menahem ben Judah (?), allegedly son of Judas of Galilee, partook in a revolt against Agrippa II before being slain by a rival Zealot leader.
Simon bar Kokhba (?- ca. 135), founded a short-lived Jewish state before being defeated in the Second Jewish-Roman War.
Moses of Crete (?), who in about 440-470, convinced the Jews of Crete to attempt to walk into the sea to return to Israel; he disappeared after that disaster.
Ishak ben Ya'kub Obadiah Abu 'Isa al-Isfahani (684-705), who led a revolt in Persia against the Umayyad Caliph 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan.
Yudghan (?), a disciple of Abu 'Isa who continued the faith after Isa was slain.
Serene (?), who around 720 claimed to be the Messiah and advocated expulsion of Muslims and relaxing various rabbinic laws before being arrested; he then recanted.
David Alroy (?), born in Kurdistan, who around 1160 agitated against the caliph before being assassinated.
Nissim ben Abraham (?), active around 1295.
Moses Botarel of Cisneros (?), active around 1413; claimed to be a sorcerer able to combine the names of God.
Asher Lemmlein (?), a German near Venice who proclaimed himself a forerunner of the Messiah in 1502.
David Reubeni (1490-1541?) and Solomon Molcho (1500-1532), adventurers who traveled in Portugal, Italy, and Turkey; Molcho was eventually burned at the stake by the Pope.
A mostly unknown Czech Jew from around the 1650s.
Sabbatai Zevi (1626-1676), an Ottoman Jew who claimed to be the Messiah, but then converted to Islam; still has followers today in the Donmeh.
Barukhia Russo (Osman Baba), successor of Sabbatai Zevi.
Jacob Querido (?-1690), claimed to be the new incarnation of Sabbatai; later converted to Islam and led the Donmeh.
Miguel Cardoso (1630-1706), another successor of Sabbatai who claimed to be the "Messiah ben Ephraim."
Mordecai Mokia (1650-1729), "the Rebuker," another person who proclaimed himself Messiah after Sabbatai's death.
Löbele Prossnitz (?-1750), a proven fraud who nevertheless attained some following amongst former followers of Sabbatai, calling himself the "Messiah ben Joseph."
Jacob Joseph Frank (1726-1791), who claimed to be the reincarnation of King David and preached a synthesis of Christianity and Judaism.
Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994), his followers would sing Yechi Adonenu Moreinu v'Rabbeinu Melech Hamoshiach l'olam voed! – Long live our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe King Moshiach forever and ever! He vigorously encouraged the singing by swaying to and fro and swinging his hand—as he had done at the numerous farbrengens over the year. This prayer is sung every day by his followers, and is regarded as having a magical effect in bringing about the resurrection of this "King-Messiah".
This testifies to complete unbelief in the Law and absence of faith. Jesus Christ was rejected, yet his life matched every Scripture spoken of Messiah, while none of these "wannabes" identified with a single prophecy.
If "The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah," none of the Prime Ministers of the modern state of Israel qualify; most have been terrorists and have blood on their hands, or narrowly escaped imprisonment for criminal activities. Israel's Messiah was to be a Hebrew and Israelite of the Tribe of Judah; none of these people appear to have Semitic features. In deeds they resemble Saddam Hussein, who was of pure Semitic Iraqi blood like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; their physical features bear no relation to Mr. Hussein (with his overbite), the hanged stand-in (with his underbite), or any other Iraqi, Palestinian or Semitic person. God's law of reproduction requires everything bring forth after its own kind, whose seed is in itself. Was Moses a lying prophet, or are these so-called Jews "strangers?" and if so, which class of "stranger" are they? It is difficult to see these "wannabe" Messiahs as God's people, "chosen" to redeem Israel and "all the ends of the earth" (Isaiah 44:20-25)!
If these so-called Jews are not Semitic—and since they stole the land of Israel they have not ceased to kill and persecute those who are Semitic: Syrians and Iraqis, Hebrews and Palestinians who lived in harmony for centuries before these new arrivals—are they non-Semitic "strangers" as the Bible, historians and every Jewish Encyclopedia asserts? And are they not only hyperethnocentric but also anti-Semitic as indicated daily by reports in the Jewish-controlled news?
In the current issue of his Last Trumpet Newsletter, Pastor David J. Meyer writes, "We will examine the greatest of all problems in the United States at this present time. In fact, it is the condition that leads to all other problems and allows Satan and his Illuministic human stooges to advance their cause and hellish agenda of one-world governance in a new world order. The problem I am referring to is apathy toward truth.
In the Scriptures, our Saviour told us that it has always been Satan's job and purpose to lay a foundation of deceit and build upon it with lies. Lies thrive in the darkness of misunderstanding and secrecy, but truth shines forth and cannot be hid. People everywhere have a choice to accept or reject the light of truth. If they reject truth, there is nothing left but the darkness of Satan's kingdom and domain. The Lord Jesus clearly stated this as the greatest problem in the world in John 3:19 as follows: "And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil".
We now live in a world full of people who believe a whole lot of things that just aren't so, and they know very little about what is truly happening. It has been correctly stated that you can sell lies, but you cannot give the truth away. I might add that the truth is freely given to all who would gladly receive it and love it. Lies, however, always come with an ever-increasing price. Religions, governments, commerce, and every endeavor of sinful man are built on lies and deceit and are perpetuated by them. All that Satan has built up and established in the world through wars, commotions, craftiness of conspiracies, varieties of religions and brainwashing philosophies are leading up to one great lie and grand deception at the end of this world. . ."
The BIG, "Big Lie"! Satan's children are working to establish Lucifer's totalitarian one world government according to the Talmud as Baruch Levy wrote in his 1928 "Letter to Karl Marx" (Matthew 15:1-9; 23:33-35; John 8:44; Revelation 2:9; 3:9). Besides replicating the original sin, which was miscegenation, now deceitfully rebadged multiculturalism and mandated worldwide by their UN, "as it was in the days of Noah" (Matthew 24:37; Genesis 6:1-4), they are re-engineering man made in the image of God with dominion over Earth and all therein to a mind-controlled godless product evolved from and subject to "Mother Earth," and of course the unelected "peak representative body" of elite Jews who "will have all the property of the whole world in their hands." Self-deceptive thought control imposed by education and entertainments scientifically designed to this end, is mandated by statute and results in unbelief and apathy toward truth (II Thessalonians 2:10-12).
Bearing in mind what Brother Branham has said about ministering in such a way as to separate the elect believer from the make-believers and the un-believers who are without faith, consider what he said concerning the persecution of Israel under the Fifth and Sixth Trumpets of World Wars I and II, at which time Earth endured the first two woes of rebirth for the millennium (Matthew 24:8; Revelation 9:1-21; 11:14). In this Message and also in the revelation of the Fifth Seal he explains how God used those wars to force Israel back to the Promised Land. But Israel, "stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears" (Deuteronomy 10:13), would not forsake the flesh pots of fish; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick of civilization for obedience in the barren Land of the Covenant: very few relocated. In any event the political Zionists did not want the Covenant people, and forcibly shipped self-styled Jews, often against their will, or under the delusion they were bound for the United States.
Just as someone has to print the Bibles Christians study and someone had to build cities and plant crops to house and feed Israel before Joshua subdued Canaan, someone had to re-establish a state for Israel, build infrastructure and create an economy in Canaan after 1948 to accommodate 144,000 elect Israelites and their kindred who will return sixty years later to hear two Hebrew prophets expound the Feast of Trumpets. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).
The Babylonian Talmud, or Oral Torah (so-called) is considered by the rabbis more authoritative than the five Books of Moses, which it makes void. It claims Nebuzaradan slew 2.11 million Jews in a valley and 0.94 million in Jerusalem, and that warm blood bubbled up out of the ground. (An exceptional witness, Elie Wiesel, who contradicts himself from book to book, wrote regarding Babi Yar where it is claimed Jews were executed: "I learn from a witness that, for month after month, the ground never stopped trembling; and that, from time to time, geysers of blood spurted from it" (Paroles d'étranger, Editions du Seuil, 1982, p. 86). So he did not "learn from a witness," he "learned from the Talmud," the antithesis of Truth – Isaiah 8:20). Vespasian killed four billion Jews in the city of Bethar, and Hadrian slaughtered 1.2 million Jews in Alexandria (Gittin 57b). Gittin 58a claims Romans wrapped 16 million Jewish children in scrolls and burned them alive. However ancient demography indicates there were not 16 million Jews in the entire world at that time, much less 16 million Jewish children, or four billion Jews.
Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), the founder of Zionism, spoke in his first diaries of six million European Jews under threat and said the so-called Jewish state would only be realized if there were a disaster for these six million Jews. An early reference to the persecution of six million Jews appeared in Encyclopaedia Britannica, purchased in 1900 by the Jewish Rockefellers: "While there are in Russia and Rumania six millions of Jews who are being systematically degraded" ('Antisemitism' 10th Ed. 1902, p. 482). Next, Max Nordau declared at the World Zionist Congress of 1911: "How dare the smooth talkers, the clever official blabbers, open their mouths and boast of progress. . . Here they hold jubilant peace conferences in which they talk against war. . . But the same righteous governments, who are so nobly, industriously active to establish the eternal peace, are preparing, by their own confession, complete annihilation for six million people, and there is nobody, except the doomed themselves, to raise his voice in protest although this is a worse crime than any war . . ." (Quoted from Perfidy, p. 254, by fellow-Zionist Ben Hecht). The Bolshevists and the British government also used the six million figure in holocaust propaganda against Germany during World War I.
In 1919 The American Hebrew Magazine wrote, "Because of this war for Democracy six million Jewish men and women are starving across the seas. . ." That was the holocaust of World War I. Jews must burn brighter than we "human cattle" whom they consider "beasts with two legs God made in human form to serve Jews." So many holocausts of so many billions of Jews have been claimed. Three just in the twentieth century, each of six million Jews. Nobody seems to burn non-Jews; even the odd Buddhist monk and nun has had to self-immolate.
Between World Wars I and II The New York Times (1920-1926) reported prominent Jews such as Leopold de Rothschild, Lord Swaythling, Dr. Joseph Herman Hertz The Very Reverend the Chief Rabbi of the British Empire who wrote the Foreword to the Soncino English Edition of the Babylonian Talmud, and Israel Zangwill in England, and in the United States, Felix Warburg, Louis Marshall, Louis Untermyer, President of the New York Board of Jewish Ministers and Rabbi Israel Goldstein raised hundreds of millions for six million Jewish victims of this second holocaust.
The New York Times of December 13, 1942 informs us how the indefatigable Rabbi Israel Goldstein is already predicting a holocaust of a further six million Jews in World War II. Five days later in the same paper the United Nations issued a joint declaration by the Allies simultaneously through the State Department in Washington and in London along the same lines. And on March 2, 1943 The New York Times reported a mass demonstration in Madison Square Garden addressed by The Very Reverend Dr. Joseph Herman Hertz, the Chief Rabbi of the British Empire, with Wendell Wilkie and Chaim Weizmann, pushing the prescient six million.
Since Jews were very much a minority among those incarcerated by Germany in World War II, if six million Jews perished in this third holocaust, pro-rata, one should have anticipated 20 million non-Jews suffered the same fate, unless, of course, they were fire-proofed. If 26 million human beings were exterminated in Nazi internment camps between 1942 and 1945, how many tens of millions of "holocaust survivors" are there? We know Rothschild's Bank of England and other Jewish-owned banks financed Hitler throughout the War, but how did little Germany manage to intern over 100 million prisoners and fight on two fronts? The logistics of gassing and cremating the population of Hong Kong, or the combined populations of Sydney and Melbourne in a two year period, in secret, leaving no clerical records, and no ash, while throughout it all, plucky Jews in Auschwitz maintained three symphony orchestras, ran their little businesses, played sport, married, bore children, took no photographs of "extermination gas chambers" or immense crematoria, is incredible.
According to Jewish Professor Norman Finkelstein’s book, The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering, (2000). "Not only does the '6 Million' figure become more untenable but the numbers of the Holocaust industry are rapidly approaching those of Holocaust deniers" (p. 127). "Indeed, the field of Holocaust studies is replete with nonsense, if not sheer fraud" (p. 55). "Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg cast a plague on both sides, sneering that "it's not about justice, it's a fight for money" (p. 87). "In recent years, the Holocaust industry has become an outright extortion racket" (p. 89). "In what has become a mantra of the Holocaust restitution racket, this constituted "the greatest robbery in the history of mankind" (p. 94). "If everyone who claims to be a survivor actually is one," my mother used to exclaim, "who did Hitler kill?" (p. 81).
The International Red Cross audit to January 16, 1984 records a total 282,077 registered deaths of all internees in all German Concentration Camps from all causes. According to CV Zeitung monthly, the Central Organ of German Jewry, there were 565,000 "Jews" in Germany in 1933 when Jewry declared war. Subsequently two-thirds emigrated, so that by 1938 only some 140.000 remained. Sixty years after this most recent holocaust of six million Jews the Simon Wiesenthal Center Library & Archives wrote: "Thank you for your email inquiry. As of this writing, there is no database of 6 million names. Yad Vashem is planning to release approximately one million names on a database sometime this year and has plans to include several million more in the future. Please go to: www.yadvashem.org.il for details."
Chief-Rabbi Arye Friedman of Vienna declared: "The holocaust is a successful historical fiction" (Süddeutsche Zeitung, December 12, 2006, p. 7). The 1967 edition of the Jewish-owned Encyclopaedia Britannica mentions "poison gas," of which they knew nothing in their 1956 edition, but there is still no knowledge of a "holocaust."
Three of the best known works on the Second World War are General Eisenhower's Crusade in Europe (1948), Winston Churchill's The Second World War (1948-1954), and the Mémoires de guerre of General de Gaulle (1954-1959). In these three works not the least mention of Nazi gas chambers is to be found. Eisenhower's Crusade in Europe is a book of 559 pages; the six volumes of Churchill's Second World War total 4,448 pages; and de Gaulle's three-volume Mémoires de guerre is 2,054 pages. In this mass of writing, which altogether totals 7,061 pages (not including the introductory parts), published from 1948 to 1959, one will find no mention either of Nazi "gas chambers," a "genocide" of the Jews, or a hint of "six million" Jewish victims of the war.
Paul commanded, "Do not give heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who reject the Gospel" (Titus 1:14). Jesus Messiah said the Pharisees are liars (John 8:44; I John 2:22), and God commanded Moses and the children of Israel to have no association but to utterly slay their forebears whenever they encountered them in the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 7:1-2; 20:16-18). Decide this day: if Jewish fables be your God, serve the fables of those who rejected the Gospel and murdered your Messiah, but if the Logos is God, obey THUS SAITH THE LORD!
The "holocaust" began with the Eichmann Trial in 1961. Film of that kangaroo court shows Adolf Eichmann, an avowed Zionist Jew himself, make absolute fools of the corrupt jurists. Believe Jewish fables if you will, just be warned that when Israel's Seventh Trumpet sounds you will find yourself outside the City with "the dogs, and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and all who love to lie and do so," with no oil in your lamp saying, "Lord, Lord, open to us! And He will answer, I know you not" (Revelation 22:15; Matthew 25:11-12; 7:21-23).
In 1933 God showed Brother Branham seven continuous visions that would transpire before the Coming of the Lord: "The first vision was that Mussolini would invade Ethiopia and that nation would "fall at his steps". That vision surely did cause some repercussions, and some were very angry when I said it, and would not believe it. But it happened that way. He just walked in there with his modern arms and took over. The natives didn't have a chance. But the vision also said that Mussolini would come to a horrible end with his own people turning on him. That came to pass just exactly as it was said.
The next vision foretold that an Austrian by the name of Adolph Hitler would rise up as dictator over Germany, and that he would draw the world into war. It showed the Siegfried line and how our troops would have a terrible time to overcome it. Then it showed that Hitler would come to a mysterious end.
The third vision was in the realm of world politics for it showed me that there would be three great ISMS, Fascism, Nazism, Communism, but that the first two would be swallowed up into the third. The voice admonished, "WATCH RUSSIA, WATCH RUSSIA. Keep your eye on the King of the North" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 321:2-4).
Search the transcripts of Brother Branham's 1,200 recorded sermons. He never used the word "holocaust." Not until the so-called Jews began to market their third holocaust of six million Jews in the 20th century, saturating the media, did he even hint at the horrors being promoted. In The Revelation of the Seven Seals (p. 364:8) he said, "Hitler hated them, and so did Eichmann, and so did Stalin. . ." However each of these men was himself a Jew, as were Churchill and Roosevelt. In The Feast of the Trumpets (p. 23:175), we read emotion excited by current newspaper propaganda. However, I believe he was inspired of God, "to weed down his crowd. . . that it might thin down, it might bring some to go out, some to leave, and some to ponder over. But that's done purposely. It must be done that way. . . shaking them parasites off." The Lord God knew that had he spoken plainly as I am speaking now, persecution, violence and never-ending litigation would have made the saints a hunted and persecuted little group before the time. We soon will be, but the Lord will take us Home while the foolish virgin and all who believed a second-hand religion of Jewish fables instead of God's unchanging Word, "proving all things," will be martyred, as will Israel's two prophets and the 144,000 elect Israelites "for the Commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus" (Revelation 14:12).
Your duty to God and your responsibility to yourself is to "receive what you have read with all readiness of mind, and search the Scriptures, whether these things are so" (Acts 17:11). As Brother Meyer said, "We now live in a world full of people who believe a whole lot of things that just aren't so, and know very little about what is truly happening." The deceit of leaders of "Jews as a group" is stealing souls: their own scholars state most Jews are non-Semitic Gentiles. The day of redemption for those who are in Adam's race will end with the Gentile dispensation. When God turns to Israel He will be dealing solely with an election of the blood descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Land of the Covenant. The United States has been destroyed from within by the very people who destroyed ancient Israel, England, France, Germany, Russia, and many other nations, ancient and modern. Those sons of the Serpent with the mark of Cain have white-anted this end-time Message as the locust, the cankerworm, the caterpillar and the palmerworm reasoned against the Messages of all God's holy prophets, whose blood they shed.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, prove what the preacher says. Don't you be satisfied with believing: contend for the faith. When the Trumpet sounds there will be no more time for repentance. nl484.htm
