Russia: Syria will be armed with Weapons never been seen before in the ME
June 21, 2013 — Last week, Noble Peace Prize winner President Barrack Obama advised that his administration would be arming the Free Syrian Army with weapons to resist the armies of Syria's President Bashar Assad. Furthermore, they would look to implement a Libya-style no-fly zone over the country, which like Libya, would likely involve widespread carpet bombing of suspected military strongholds and control centers. . .
But Russia's KGB-hardened President Vladimir Putin has other ideas. This week, according to a British intelligence report, Putin reportedly passed on a diplomatic communique to the United States and France using British Prime Minister David Cameron as the intermediary. According to the report from Syrian-based Dam Press and the Dyar Newspaper, the Russians aren't backing off their Syria policy and they are getting ready to double down by supplying Assad's military with weapons the have never before been seen in the middle east.
If and when Western forces engage the Syrian army you can be assured that it will be nothing like the 1991 conflict in Iraq when a hundred thousand of Saddam Hussein's soldiers surrendered without firing a shot [and subsequently murdered in cold blood, buried alive by US tanks and bulldozers]. Nor will it be a no-fly zone free-for-all where air forces will be able to target military assets as they did in Libya without being challenged. . . Full story: shtfplan.com
Big Brother Machines sold to Mubarak, Qaddafi – and Washington
June 15, 2013 — Recent exposure of National Security Agency monitoring of Americans' emails, live voice communications and stored data cast suspicion once again on private surveillance contractors linked to Israeli intelligence services. . . in 2011, when Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak attempted to quell the Tahrir Square uprising by ordering telecommunications companies to shut down the Internet, the Obama administration slammed his regime, demanding that it immediately open up social media channels. The US also took the opportunity to promote the State Department's $30 million Internet freedom project, which was aimed at providing dissidents with technology to stifle online surveillance in repressive states.
. . . The exposure this month of the US National Security Agency's Prism program, which uses DPI technology to monitor the phone and online communications of American citizens, eroded the credibility of US calls for Internet freedom abroad. "The Obama administration has tried to play both sides of this equation and the rhetoric it used during Arab Spring doesn't square with our practices domestically in spying on our own citizenry," Karr remarked. "There seems to be a double standard here. . . this is not just about privacy, it's a freedom speech issue."
In 2006, an AT&T technician named Mark Klein discovered a secret room inside the company's windowless "Folsom Street Facility" . . . Room 641A was controlled by the NSA, which was using it to collect AT&T customer data for data mining and real-time analysis . . . 108 billion emails from AT&T customers per day. . .
Binney told me that throughout the United States there are currently as many as 20 NSA black sites like Room 641A. . . allowing the NSA to retrieve about 80 percent of data carried through telecom and online service providers. . . ("We can reconstruct all of their e-mails along with attachments, see what web pages they clicked on; we can reconstruct their (Voice Over Internet) calls," said Steve Bannerman, the marketing director of Narus).

The Secret behind Communism
June 23, 2013 — Dr. Duke in The Secret Behind Communism, uses the research of Raphael Lemkin to expose the Bolshevik purposeful genocide against the Ukrainian people that took place in what is today called the Holodomor. He also exposes the Bolshevik war against the Russian intelligentsia and nobility was also an attempt at destroying the natural leadership of the Russian people, so as to render them weaker against their new rulers an ethnic minority harboring deep racial animosity toward the Russian people for historic anti-Semitism. . . One of the most striking parts of the video is the revelation from Ynet News, an Israeli publication, that Gengrik Yadoda killed at least 10 million people in the Bolshevik State. . .

Revelation 19 – Part V
As the world is falling apart our study today will focus upon Revelation 19:17 – 20:5. "(Insert your name because John represents you as he writes what William Branham the angel of Revelation 1:1 and 10:7 is saying in the vision) . . . saw an Angel standing in the sun; and He cried with a loud voice, urgently commanding all the birds that fly in the mid-heaven." The Lord's invitation in the prolepsis of verses 17-18 is only to carnivores like vultures, eagles and hawks that soar to the highest point in the heavens which the sun occupies at noon where what is done can be seen and heard by all (Job 39:26-30; Matthew 24:14). This vision signifies that the revelation of salvation is entirely completed and the cosmic clock of the history of salvation in this world has run down so that a catastrophe in parallel with the collapse of man's moral and spiritual system will start from the center of our cosmic system (Colossians 1:17); earth's axis shifting toward the Sun will send flames miles into space bringing the consummation (Malachi 4:1-3; Matthew 3:12; II Thessalonians 1:8). As I write, the USA, NATO, UN, Vatican, the banksters of the City of London and Communism are working to "gather the whole world to Armageddon." And they will succeed within the decade (Revelation 16:14, 16). When the nations of the world are led by compliant 'fronts' of such poor caliber as Julia Gillard, John Howard, George Bush I and II, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, and Barack Obama who reflexively lie, kill, squander the wealth of nations and the lives of their young people in wars that serve the interests of foreign corporations and the hidden alien power behind their governments, you know the world is falling apart.

The vision on Mount Transfiguration and Israel's revelation of Christ's 'parousia' in Zechariah 12:9-14 enable us to identify the "Angel standing in the Sun" and the chronology of Revelation 19:17. The Angel of Revelation 19:17 is "Jesus Messiah who was transfigured before Peter, James and John: and His face shone as the Sun, and His raiment was white as Light" (Matthew 17:2). He is the Angel of Ezekiel 43:2, "And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel [Jesus Messiah] came from the way of the east: and His voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shone with His glory." The same scene is portrayed in Revelation 7:2, "And I saw another Angel descending from the East, having the Seal of the living God".
In Revelation 18:1 "earth was lighted with His glory. And He cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen . . ." And in Revelation 1:16, "His countenance was as the Sun shines in its strength" showing that because of Christ's perpetual Presence there will be no external light needed in New Jerusalem for "the Lamb is the Light thereof" (Revelation 21:23). In Malachi 4:2 He is called "the Sun of righteousness with healing in His beams," and in Hebrews 7:2 He is the "King of righteousness." Paul saw Him as "a Light from heaven, brighter than the Sun, shining about me and those who journeyed with me" (Acts 26:13-14); Isaiah called Him a "Great Light" (Isaiah 9:2; 49:6; 60:1-3; Matthew 4:16).
There is absolutely no doubt that each of these instances refers to our Lord Jesus Christ. I John 1:3-5, "That which we have seen and heard we declare unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. We write these things that your joy may be full. This then is the Message which we have heard of Him, and declare to you, that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all".
"Come and gather yourselves together to the supper [(Gk.) 'deipnon,' a formal meal usually held at the evening] of the great God." This is not "the Wedding supper of the Lamb in the Sky [but] the supper of the Great God [on earth]." God's table is the battlefield spread with "flesh of kings, and flesh of captains of thousands, and flesh of strong men, and flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and flesh of all free as well as well as bond, small and great," for God is no respecter of persons (Romans 2:11). The destruction of the wicked who succumbed to sin against which creation laboured six thousand years till God took the righteous "lest there be no flesh saved for the translation" (Matthew 24:22), begins the transruption of blessing in opposition to the transruption of the curse as the matter of their physical beings is returned to its elements for God's glorious service in the millennium.
Brother Branham explained the birds and beasts at "the supper of the Great God" will recycle them "back to gases and all the way back to cosmic light and past molecules and everything else till it turns back to the original it come from." As we know it, matter can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted into another form. Jesus said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Word will not pass away" (Matthew 24:35). They are God's Word and cannot be annihilated but "will pass away [be regenerated or changed] with a great noise [to a] renewed heavens and renewed earth" as your soul was renewed or changed to a new Life and nature by the baptism with the Holy Spirit (II Peter 3:10-14).
Following natural cataclysms that will ignite the 'hot stage' of World War III at the close of the Gentile dispensations the nominally Christian church will work closely with nations under martial law drawing today's 'Ahab,' the United States, into an unlawful union with the Jezebel church, generating the 'squeeze' on true Christians and eventually imposing her trinitarian religion on clear-headed dissenters of principle on pain of death (Revelation 13:15-18). The legal, military and technological framework is already in place. Under a transruption of racial supremacist laws truth is no defense and the United States is 'lawfully' murdering her own citizens and incarcerating dissenters without trial. Instead of being commended and honoured for their brave humanitarian and patriotic actions, whistleblowers such as WikiLeaks' Julian Assange, Pfc. Bradley Manning, and Edward Snowden are persecuted and demonized. (However on evidence it appears the Snowden affair is a yet another CIA-MOSSAD false flag psyop and Zionist HOAX of "the great master of lies" in conjunction with Rothschild's Georg Soros with the object of hastening the 'hot stage' of World War III (Adolf Hitler, quoting Arthur Schopenhauer in Mein Kampf, p. 184-185, and Jesus Christ quoted in John 8:44). Miss. Karen Hudes, former senior counsel for the World Bank was dismissed for exposing a global network of multi-billion dollar corruption in high offices of trust.
Last week President Obama signed an agreement committing the United States to grant eminent domain to China over real estate in the event of US default on loans. This arrangement was reported two years ago in Newsletter 670. Can't you see the 'hidden hand' behind the FED is deliberately bankrupting and trading ownership of large portions of the United States in exchange for worthless treasury notes thereby eliminating any possibility of a US challenge to their one world government?
In 1933 William Branham the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 prophesied, "I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters, and smoke all over the land of America" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 322:3), then in 1963 he indicted the Judaeo-Roman church (Revelation 17:1).
In the type Israel's King Ahab entered an illegal marriage with Jezebel the daughter of Sidon's pagan priest-king, Ethbaal. I Kings 21:1-29 records how Jezebel railed against Ahab's want of spirit for not expropriating the vineyard he coveted. "Don't you govern Israel? I will give you Naboth's vineyard." So she wrote to the Jezreelite elders in Ahab's name and sealed the letters with his seal. They replied advising that Naboth had been stoned for blasphemy. Elijah then prophesied: "Where the dogs licked Naboth's blood, they would lick the blood of the king, and the dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. Those of your family who die in the city shall the dogs eat, and those who die in the field shall be eaten by vultures".
How like the United States today in unlawful union with the international banksters of the City of London who seek world hegemony? Mr. Rothschild declared he wants to build oil and gas pipe lines through Afghanistan against the wishes of the lawful government of that nation. George II's criminal administration informed Afghanistan they will be carpeted with gold if they concur, or with bombs should they like Naboth demur. This they did, so the United States invaded with other colonies of 'the City' such as Britain and Australia. Mr. Rothschild and 'the City' demand ownership or control of all central banks, so when Libya, Iraq and Iran objected they were listed for destruction after the example of Germany which declined to return to the gold standard prior to World War II.
Jezebel's priests of Baal so persecuted the Israelites God found but "seven thousand in Israel who have not bowed unto Baal or kissed him" (I Kings 19:18). The First Nicaea Council saw the nominally Christian church of Rome enter illegal union with "those who say that are Jews and are not," and with the Roman state, resulting in the martyrdom of scores of millions of Christians. In Revelation 2:20-23 Jesus cursed the Judaeo-Roman Jezebel church and her (once) Protestant daughter churches with the first and the second death in the end-time; this will be fulfilled in Revelation 19:20-21 and 20:14-15.
Daniel 9:27 prophesies that once the Judaeo-Roman church breaks her agreement with the international Jews in the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week and slays Israel's prophets God will abandon a desolate world to Gog the chief ruler of Judaeo-Russia, the insane Samson Option and the consummation of Armageddon. "The two spirits will terminate their manifestation in each of their final destinations. The sowing, the watering, the growing is all over. Summer is ended. The sickle is now thrust into the harvest . . . Christ the Great Harvester, is now reaping the fruit of the earth. He gathers the wheat into His garner by coming for His own and receiving them forever unto Himself. Then He returns to destroy the wicked with Fire unquenchable . . . the wrath of God will be poured out in the Sixth Seal which will end in the utter destruction of the wicked" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 361:2 – 362:3).
Revelation 19:19 is set in Lucifer's totalitarian one world government divided once more between the antichristian Judaeo-Communist East and the antichristian Judaeo-Roman West following Rome's abrogation of her covenant with the Jewish international banksters and the defection of the kings of the Earth or Khazar Black Nobility "who give their power and strength to the beast" (Revelation 17:12-18). "And . . . (insert your name) . . . saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make the war with Him sitting on the horse, and with His army."
Revelation 16:12-17 informs us that between the Sixth and Seventh Vials, that is, during the Laodicean Church Age prior to the opening of the Seven Seals which revealed them, a trinity of unclean spirits like frogs manifest. The frog is an animal that always looks backward to where he has come from, he never looks forward to where he is going, in contrast to the Holy Spirit in the four cherubim which always look forward regardless of the direction their journey takes. These vindictive spirits are Fascism, Nazism and Communism looking back on past failures and uniting "the whole world" to war against the Jezebel church which restored peace following the eruption of the 'hot stage' of World War III by uniting the world against Communism.
Words carry spirits and these spirits came out of the mouth of the Dragon, Imperial Rome, the world power that stood before the woman "to devour her child as soon as it was born" (Revelation 12:3). And out of the mouth of the false prophet of Papal Rome, the world power that rose from the transruption of Imperial Rome into the nominally Christian religious empire (Revelation 13:1-3). And out of the mouth of the beast when Satan is cast down to earth at the end of the Gentile dispensation to incarnate the pope thereafter known as the beast and President of one world government (Revelation 12:7-12; 17:11; 19:20; 20:10).
When the world economy is restored after World War II the hubris of Rome's incarnate pope will lead him to usurp authority at the dedication of the third temple in Jerusalem, impose his trinitarian religion, and take over the fraudulent Babylonian fractional reserve banking system of the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews (Isaiah 14:12-14).
If you examine certain notable events that have transpired between the close of the Philadelphian Church Age in 1906 and the revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963 you will see some of the signs of this uniting time to which the Prophet alluded:
The director of the National Security Agency under Ronald Reagan—Lt. General William Odom—noted: "Because the United States itself has a long record of supporting terrorists and using terrorist tactics, the slogans of today's war on terrorism merely makes the United States look hypocritical to the rest of the world. By any measure the US has long used terrorism. In '78-79 the Senate was trying to pass a law against international terrorism—in every version they produced, the lawyers said the US would be in violation" (globalresearch.ca). This subterfuge of "projection" is employed by the so-called Jews, most infamously in their false accusations against Germany for the alleged holocaust of six million Jews in World War II to "project" guilt on an innocent party, for Jewry was slaughtering scores of millions of nominal Christians in the USSR and is responsible for the murder of nine to fifteen million ethnic Germans after the war.
The ongoing revival of the Holy Roman Empire demonstrates US deceit under oversight of the Judaeo-Roman beast which will empower the US to give life to the image of the beast, a confederation of (once) Protestant churches that will enforce trinitarianism, which is the mark of the beast, on pain of death (Revelation 13:14-18) as gifted author Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya documents in this précis of his book, "The Globalization of NATO":
"The world is enveloped in a blanket of perpetual conflict. Invasions, occupation, illicit sanctions, and regime change have become currencies and orders of the day. One organization—the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)—is repeatedly, and very controversially, involved in some form or another in many of these conflicts led by the US and its allies. NATO, spawned from the Cold War, its existence was justified by Washington and Western Bloc politicians as a guarantor against any Soviet and Eastern Bloc invasion of Western Europe, but all along the Alliance served to cement Washington's influence in Europe and continue what was actually America's post-World War II occupation of the European continent. In 1991 the raison d'être of the Soviet threat ended with the collapse of the USSR and the end of the Cold War. Nevertheless NATO remains and continues to alarmingly expand eastward, antagonizing Russia and its ex-Soviet allies. China and Iran are also increasingly monitoring NATO's moves as it comes into more frequent contact with them.
Yugoslavia was a turning point for the Atlantic Alliance and its mandate. The organization moved from the guise of a defensive posture into an offensive pose under the pretexts of humanitarianism. Starting from Yugoslavia, NATO began its journey towards becoming a global military force. From its wars in the Balkans, it began to broaden its international area of operations outside of the Euro-Atlantic zone into the Caucasus, Central Asia, East Africa, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Indian Ocean. It has virtually turned the Mediterranean Sea into a NATO lake with the NATO Mediterranean Dialogue and the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative, while it seeks to do the same to the Black Sea and gain a strategic foothold in the Caspian Sea region. The Gulf Security Initiative between NATO and the Gulf Cooperation Council seeks to also dominate the Persian Gulf and to hem in Iran. Israel has become a de facto member of the military organization. [This is a repetition of the Agreement of Mutual Assistance between the United Kingdom and Poland-London (1939) strategy employed to force Britain and France to declare World War II against Germany for defending herself against repeated aggression and the murder of her citizens by belligerent Poland. The Goyim fell for it in World War II and they have fallen for it again in World War III, and as W.C. Fields said, "Never give a sucker an even break]. At the same time, NATO vessels sail the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. These warships are deployed off the coasts of Somalia, Djibouti, and Yemen as part of NATO's objectives to create a naval cordon of the seas controlling important strategic waterways and maritime transit routes.
The Atlantic Alliance's ultimate aim is to fix and fasten the American Empire. NATO has clearly played an important role in complementing the US strategy for dominating Eurasia. This includes the encirclement of Russia, China, Iran, and their allies with a military ring subservient to Washington. The global missile shield project, the militarization of Japan, the insurgencies in Libya and Syria, the threats against Iran, and the formation of a NATO-like military alliance in the Asia-Pacific region are components of this colossal geopolitical project. NATO's globalization, however, is bringing together a new series of Eurasian counter-alliances with global linkages that stretch as far as Latin America. The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) have been formed by Russia, China, and their allies as shields against the US and NATO and as a means to challenge them. As the globalization of NATO unfolds the risks of nuclear war become more and more serious with the Atlantic Alliance headed towards a collision course with Russia, China, and Iran that could ignite World War III".
When the iniquity of the modern-day Amalekites and the Amorites is full, Los Angeles will sink beneath the Pacific and the first resurrection and manifestation of the Sons of God will commence, followed by the 'hot stage' of World War III.
Words carry spirits, but "the Name of the One on the horse is called The Word of God . . . and a sharp Sword goes forth from His mouth with which He should smite the nations" (Revelation 19:13, 15). Jesus Messiah is the Logos of God whose sole weapon of offense is the Sword of His Word; seated on His horse in verse 16 His garment has dropped and rather than exposing a natural sword "on His vesture and on His thigh He has a Name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS" (Psalm 45:3). You will note that in the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week when "the kings of the earth gave their power and strength to the beast" in order to restore peace and maintain the establishment and corrupt fractional reserve banking system of the International Jews from the threat of Rome's enemy, Judaeo-Communism, that the Lamb was "Lord of lords and King of kings" (Revelation 17:13-14; Daniel 9:27). Here in the second half of the Week Christ appears on the offensive; by recognizing His second or 'parousia' Coming the 144,000 elect Israelites have crowned Him "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS," sealing their revelation in martyrdom (Revelation 19:16; Psalm 89:27; Daniel 12:1; Zechariah 12:3).
"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal Life to which you were called when you made a good profession in the presence of many witnesses. In the Presence of God who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, I charge you to keep the commandment unstained and irreproachable until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ: which at the proper season He will make known, the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; who alone possesses immortality, dwelling in unapproachable Light, whom no man has ever seen or can see. To Him be honour and eternal Dominion. Amen" (I Timothy 6:12-16).
Revelation 19:20-21, "And [at the beginning of the conflict] the beast [or Devil-incarnate last pope, seemingly Francis I], was taken, and with him the false prophet [or former now coexistent pope, seemingly Benedict XVI] that wrought the miracles in his presence, with which he misled them that had received the mark of the beast [Babylonian Trinitarian religion], and them that worshipped his [once Protestant] image: these two were cast alive into the lake of the Fire that burns with brimstone."
The miracles performed by the false prophet in the presence of the beast refer to the confederation of churches and world religions he will draw together to enforce the restoration of peace following the brief 'hot stage' of the present World War III, thereby giving life to the image of the beast (Revelation 13:4, 14-18; 19:20). Satan will be incarnate in his people, and it will be these who martyr the foolish virgin and other classes of the "saved" non-elect when Rome forces the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:15-18). "The winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs" (Revelation 14:20).
Rome's daughter churches will follow the mother church and both will be cast into hell (Revelation 2:21-23), but only the beast and the false prophet are judged at the end of the great tribulation. "And the remnant were slain with the sword of the One sitting upon the horse, which sword goes forth out of His mouth: and all the birds were satiated with their flesh" (Isaiah 56:8-9; Ezekiel 39:4, 17-20; Revelation 19:20).
And Moses' prophecy of Deuteronomy 32:43 (as recorded in the Septuagint and not the fraudulent Masoretic text of the Old Testament in our English language Bibles) will be fulfilled: "Rejoice, you Gentiles with His people (Romans 15:10), and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in Him: for He will avenge the blood of His sons, and He will render vengeance, and recompense justice to His enemies, and will reward them that hate Him; and the Lord shall purge His land and His people."
Paul repeated Moses' prophecy in II Thessalonians 1:6-10: "It is a righteous thing with God to repay with affliction those who afflict you; and to grant rest with us to you who are afflicted, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty sons (Revelation 19:14) in flaming Fire, inflicting vengeance on those who ignore God and who refuse to accept His plan of salvation in the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. They will be punished with everlasting destruction separated from the Presence of the Lord and from His glorious power, when He comes on that Day to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all those who believe because our testimony among you was believed."
These prophecies are fulfilled at Revelation 18:20: "Rejoice over Rome's destruction, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for on your behalf God has passed judgment against her."
Brother Branham said, "Here comes Satan with all four corners of the earth with His Protestants and with His Catholics, and all together, marching right up to the battle of Armageddon. All right. And here comes Jesus coming down from heaven with resurrected saints, vindicated Word.
As I said, "If God speaks and sends you; He backs up what you say." See, see? Notice, if you're an ambassador from heaven, all heaven's behind you. And heaven is consisted of the Word.
Notice now, He's come with resurrected saints, vindicating that His Word is true. So Satan knows then the bottomless pits is ready for him. See? Oh, my. While death rode the pale horse, mixed creed and denominations followed him . . . Oh, my, the eternal separation from God, that's where he rode them to, eternal separation. Christ rode His Church right into glory in the resurrection" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 325:1-3).
Revelation 20:1-5, "And . . . (insert your name) . . . saw an Angel descending out of the heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain upon His hand. And He laid hold on the dragon, the ancient serpent, that is the Slanderer, and the Adversary, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the abyss, and shut him up, and sealed over him, that he might mislead the nations no more, till the thousand years should be finished: after these he must be loosed a little time."
Like father, like son, Satan's children are slanderers and adversaries God "set at enmity" with the children of the first Adam and the last Adam (Genesis 3:15). They are in the physical lineage of his vicarious son Cain who was sired by the incarnate Serpent, or of "those who resist the Truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith" (II Timothy 3:8). Those who are in Cain's lineage are absent from the Book of Life, which is the genealogy of the first Adam to whom they are unrelated. Consequently they are without a kinsman Redeemer since Israel's Messiah was the last Adam; He was not the last Cain. Recipients of the seed of discrepancy, or the hiss of the Serpent, are not born of God's Word (Luke 8:11; John 6:63), spiritual Serpent's seed and lost. After the millennium these will all be raised in the general resurrection and appeal before the saints the White Throne Judgment. Those whose names were never in or have been removed from the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of Fire, while those whose names remain in the Book will be granted in to eternal Life (I Corinthians 6:1-3).
Satan will be bound throughout the millennium; not in iron chains for a spirit being cannot be restrained by physical means, but by a chain of circumstances. As a spirit he must work through flesh and blood to perform his evil works, but all of his children will be dead and buried until the general resurrection, and as he will have no influence over redeemed and glorified saints. So in spite of his presence throughout the millennium Satan will be quite helpless.
"And I saw thrones, and they sat down upon them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded [over the past two thousand years] on account of the witness of Jesus, and on account of the Word of God, and who worshipped not the beast, nor yet his image, and received not the mark upon the foreheads and upon their hand; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection" (Daniel 7:12).
Brother Branham said, "Oh, waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God (Hallelujah), when God will make Hisself known, when they'll stop sickness, they'll stop cancer, they'll stop diseases."
"You think cancer's something? The Bible said there's coming a time when men will rot right in their flesh, and the buzzards will eat off of carcasses before they even die. Cancer's a toothache to what's a coming. But, remember, that horrible thing was forbidden in that day to touch those who had the Seal of God. That's what we're striving for now, to get in and be positionally placed into the Kingdom of God before these horrible plagues strike. Oh, how good. The dispensation of time, fullness of time, the inheritance (Adoption, Part IV, p. 115:88; Ephesians 1:10-14). nl790.htm
