Elijah, Elisha and the Chariots of Fire, type the Ministry of the End Time Bride versus Jehu's End Time Ministry

Elijah, Elisha and the Chariots of Fire, type the Ministry of the End Time Bride versus Jehu's End Time Ministry Phone

           Bible Believers' Newsletter 864

"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; it's so good to have you with us.

Truly the Law foreshadowed and typed the promised blessings to come under the New Testament by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, the Body of Christ, made not with hands but by the Spoken Word for the hour. Shadows and types establish a necessary point of reference to proven historical facts against which to gauge our understanding of prophecy on the sure basis that "God changes not" as contributing author Pastor Chibueze Uzoho demonstrates in our main article: "Elijah, Elisha and the Chariots of Fire, type the Ministry of the End Time Bride versus Jehu's End Time Ministry."

If you seriously imagine that you are a Christian, or even a moral person who places honesty and integrity above all else, don't wear Jesus Christ or morality on your shirt sleeve. It is essential that you recognize the "present Truth" what Jesus is doing now, discover what is happening in real time, read the Full story in our news articles, and watch the video links in this issue in particular and face up to reality. We are at the end; very soon it will be too late for you to change your mind because you will be in the great tribulation of Daniel's Seventieth Week when the Lord God is dealing with an election from the children of Israel.

As Brother Branham explained, we are living in the "honed age" when Christ in no longer a mediator for ignorance as the apostolic faith has been restored and the mystery of God is finished: "When that Church gets honed into the perfect image of Jesus Christ, He will come, resurrect all the saints when He comes and take them with Him. The church of the living God will be caught up" (Conferences, #63-0608). If you devote a higher priority to TV and broadcast entertainments which are designed to disarm and manipulate your mind; spectator sports, career and material pursuits so that you lack time to thoroughly read, study and prove all things reported in the Newsletter "whether those things were so" then you are already defeated and might well unsubscribe and save bandwidth. "The vision waits for its appointed time, it hastens to the end; it and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, he whose soul is puffed up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith" (Habakkuk 2:3-4; Hebrews 10:37-39).

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

A Major International Monetary Crisis is looming: Suppression of Gold and Silver? Is COMEX being cornered?

William Branham

November 25, 2014 — The events mentioned herein relative to the suppression of gold and silver using dollar hegemony as the tool indicate a major international monetary crisis is dead ahead, this is obvious. Power in the hands of the few have made massive gains for those at the top of the economic ladder while the average man has become a debt slave to the few . . . Those at the top who intend to "rule the world" are being challenged from the East in what I believe to be almost a winner take all "war" . . . the "West" has forced this . . . This "war" is one between the East and West where the West's paper financial system which has been in control for so many years is seeing its power wane . . .

Obama unilaterally has now thrown our borders open, is it possible that the long spoken of "Amero" is really in the works? One necessity to a North American currency unit would be open borders right? . . . We also heard Russia announce a decline to import ANY GMO food products from the West for at least 10 years. They also announced the import of another 55 tons of gold for the quarter . . . while ISIS announced their intent to use gold and silver as money . . . the US has trod heavily on the rest of the world financially. We settled our grotesque annual trade deficits by sending freely created dollars as payment. In order to support the dollar and keep interest rates low, we have suppressed the prices of gold and silver. Without low metals prices, none of the other markets could ever make any sense. PE ratios could never be at the current levels without low interest rates, interest rates could never be at these low levels if gold and silver were shooting upward . . . so the rest of the world has played the only card they could to prevent a World War, a financial card.

They "carried" us and let the game go on and on as they accumulated bigger and bigger stacks of gold. Much of this gold "was once" Western gold. They have legally purchased it and in many cases sent our own dollars back to us as payment.

Now, we will sit with lots and lots of dollars while they have lots and lots of gold . . . Thanksgiving "fat and happy" only to find out the entire financial system was a fraud. The East, by asking for delivery may in a "polite" way expose the entire game . . . The Chinese/Russians in my opinion may be on the verge of winning a war without ever firing a shot and playing the game by our own rules! We clearly have been the aggressors in both Syria and then in funding a coup in Ukraine . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Comment: The Roman Catholic church is the big player and will bail out the US as the Prophet and the Bible reveal.

In a few days the Swiss people will go to a referendum to decide whether the Swiss central bank is to be required to hold 20% of its reserves in the form of gold. Polls show that the gold requirement is favored by the less well off and opposed by wealthy Swiss invested in stocks . . . Like the Fed, the ECB pretends that the money it prints flows into the economy. But given the poor condition of the banks and potential borrowers, loan volume is low. Instead the money created by central banks flows into paper financial asset prices. Thus, the monetary policy of the Western world is directed toward supporting the wealth of the rich and worsening the inequality in the distribution of income and wealth . . .

The rich are far from finished with their pillage. In exchange for campaign donations, state governors are turning over state pension funds to the management of high-fee, high-risk private pension fund managers who do a better job of maximizing their fee income than protecting the nest eggs of retirees.

Throughout the Western world economic policy is run for the sole benefit of the one percent and at the cost of everyone else . . .


Next US Presidential Election will move the World closer to War

November 20, 2014 — Glenn Greenwald has revealed that [Jewess] Hillary Clinton is the presidential candidate of the banksters and warmongers.

Pam and Russ Martens note that Elizabeth Warren is the populist alternative. I doubt that a politician who represents the people can acquire the campaign funds needed to run a campaign. If Warren becomes a threat, the Establishment will frame her with bogus charges and move her aside.

Hillary as president would mean war with Russia. With neocon nazis such as Robert Kagan and Max Boot running her war policy and with Hillary's comparison of Russia's president Putin to Adolf Hitler, war would be a certainty. As Michel Chossudovsky and Noam Chomsky have written, the war would be nuclear.

If Hillary is elected president, the financial gangsters and profiteering war criminals would complete their takeover of the country. It would be forever or until Armageddon.

To understand what we would be getting with Hillary, recall the Clinton presidency . . . was transformative in ways not generally recognized. Clinton destroyed the Democratic Party with "free trade" agreements, deregulated the financial system, launched Washington's ongoing policy of "regime change" with illegal military attacks on Yugoslavia and Iraq, and his regime used deadly force without cause against American civilians and covered up the murders with fake investigations. These were four big changes that set the country on its downward spiral into a militarized police state with massive income and wealth inequality.

One can understand why Republicans wanted the North American Free Trade Agreement, but it was Bill Clinton who signed it into law. "Free trade" agreements are devices used by US corporations to offshore their production of goods and services sold in American markets. By moving production abroad, labor cost savings increase corporate profits and share prices, bringing capital gains to shareholders and multi-million dollar performance bonuses to executives. The rewards to capital are large, but the rewards come at the expense of US manufacturing workers and the tax base of cities and states.

When plants are closed and the work shipped overseas, middle class jobs disappear. Industrial and manufacturing unions are eviscerated, destroying the labor unions that financed the Democrats' election campaigns. The countervailing power of labor against capital was lost, and Democrats had to turn to the same sources of funding as Republicans. The result is a one party state . . .

Hillary Clinton is a warmonger, and so will be the Republican candidate. The hardening anti-Russian rhetoric issuing from Washington and its punk EU puppet states places the world on the road to extinction. The arrogant neoconservatives, with their hubristic belief that the US is the "exceptional and indispensable" country, would regard a de-escalation of rhetoric and sanctions as backing down. The more the neocons and politicians such as John McCain and Lindsey Graham escalate the rhetoric, the closer we come to war . . . Full story: paulcraigroberts.org

Comment: In Newsletter 774 we explained that an apocalypse is, on the one hand, the presentation of an uninterrupted succession of visions, following one upon another in cyclical divisions such as seven continuous visions the Lord showed Brother Branham one Sunday morning in June 1933 what would transpire before He came; on the other hand it is a thoroughly unitous composition whose style is figurative or typical even though it is based upon historical data which themselves attain a spiritual significance. However, these types cease to be proper only to the minister or believer who is applying them, and assume the character of an historically conventional predetermined fact, that is, a theocratic science as we find in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

He prophesied: "in the sixth vision there arose up in America a most beautiful, but cruel woman. She held the people in her complete power. I believed that this was the rise of the Roman Catholic Church, though I knew it could possibly be a vision of some woman rising in great power in America due to a popular vote by women."

The next US Presidential election will be on November 8, 2016. Hilary Clinton will be inaugurated as president of the United States on Friday January 20, 2017. The only inauguration element mandated by the United States Constitution is that the President make an oath or affirmation before that person can "enter on the Execution" of the office of the presidency. However, over the years, various traditions have arisen that have expanded the inauguration from a simple oath-taking ceremony to a day-long event, including parades, speeches, and balls.

There will be a four-day discrepancy between the Christian and the Hebrew reckoning of festivals in 2017. According to the Hebrew reckoning we anticipate Los Angeles sinking beneath the Pacific from sundown on about Monday April 10, Nisan, 14, 2017, or by the Christian calendar, on 'Good Friday' April 14, 2017. According to Hebrew reckoning the fiftieth day of Pentecost will be on sundown Wednesday May 30 to sundown May 31, 2017, or by Christian reckoning on Sunday June 4, 2017. The Hebrew calendar date begins at sundown the previous night. Thus all holiday observances begin at sundown, the following day being the first full day of the festival. Hebrew calendar dates conclude at nightfall.


US prepares to sell Warships to Saudi to help 'take down Iran'

November 20, 2014 — The American Revolution was supposed to have happened because of the revulsion our 'founding fathers' had with the institution of 'divine right of kings' or monarchy. Supposedly the new American nation went to war with England because a revolutionary 'democracy' was the preferred way of organizing our new nation. (Of course the truth was that the American 'founding fathers' had their own dreams of empire which is just what has sadly turned out for this country. But the mythology of America is all about our rejection of monarchy.)

Fast forward to today and we see the headlines on November 20 in the Portland Press Herald newspaper: Bath Iron Works may get [Jewish-ruled] Saudi ship contract worth billions . . . this likely $20 billion weapons sale indicates just how corrupt and immoral the US 'experiment' in democracy has become. The #1 industrial export product of the US today is weapons. The US wants to take down Iran and has made a pact with the Saudi's to do just that.

There can be no doubt that the American dream of freedom, justice and democracy is now no more than a hollow phrase . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Comment: At the University of Queensland, the Department of Physics is being funded by the US Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to do research on scramjet engines capable of achieving velocities of Mach 10, or about 11,000 kilometers an hour.

This is part of the Australian Hypersonics Initiative which involves the Australian National University, the University of New South Wales and the Defense Force Academy, Canberra.

The University of Queensland News Online states that Sydney-London flights would only take two hours using scramjet propulsion but what is not stated are the military applications of this research.

DARPA is developing a hypersonic edge-of-space bomber (FALCON) which can take off from any airfield and carry over 25,000 kilograms of nuclear or conventional weapons anywhere in the world in a couple of hours. The bombs would hit Earth targets at hypersonic velocity and be able to penetrate to great depth before exploding; just the thing, they say, for Afghanistan and Iraq.

The US ambition is to have "Full Spectrum Dominance" through which Earth will be controlled in the interests of the US. Military or commercial space competitors will be "denied" space access if they do not conform to US dictates . . . (space4peace.org).

Israeli Cabinet approves 'Jewish State' Bill

November 24, 2014 — The Israeli cabinet has approved a bill declaring Israel a Jewish state in a controversial move seen as intensifying discrimination against Arabs residing in occupied territories.

Magen DavidThe Times of Israel, which described the bill as "controversial," said it was debated by cabinet members behind closed doors but their screams were "loud enough for reporters in the hallway to hear much of the discussion." Addressing his cabinet, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli prime minister, said: "Israel is the Jewish, nationalist state for the Jewish people with equal rights for all citizens" . . . Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyeb, reporting from Jerusalem, said: "What is problematic about the law in its current form is that if it does get passed, and is enshrined in Israel's legal system, it would effectively mean that those who do not self-identify themselves as Jews become second class citizens," he said . . .

Israel Killed JFK and has ruled America Ever Since

November 22, 2014 — The United States has had three coups if you count the first one as being Jekyll Island in November of 1910. Those first coup plotters met at Jekyll Island and secretly wrote the law that became the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. All of the bankers who met in secret were Rothschild agents. This included Paul Warburg of the Rothschild dominated Kuhn Loeb bank. Nelson Aldrich who was a Senator married into the Rockefeller family. The Rockefellers were created by the Rothschilds as were J P Morgan, the Harrimans and the Bush family. Senator Aldrich was head of the National Monetary Commission created by President Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt had become President after the Jews had successfully assassinated President McKinley. They previously had assassinated President Lincoln. John Wilkes Booth was Jewish. But I prefer not want to count these earlier assassinations as coups. The remaining members of the Jekyll Island Six were Treasury Department employees who did what they were told to do.

The first day of those meetings actually occurred in a private railway car on the evening of November 22, 1910. When the Jews took over America's banking and monetary system in 1913, they took over the country. Not all coups involve tanks in the streets. It was no coincidence that President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 which was the 53rd anniversary of Israel's earlier coup. President Kennedy had dared to attempt to take America back from the Jews . . . Full story: vidrebel.wordpress.com


The Drug Runners' Bomb? Lockerbie inside Story Former CIA Iraq/Libya Agent Susan Lindauer

November 21, 2014 — Susan Lindauer, former CIA agent and author of 'Extreme Prejudice': Lockerbie crash was not instigated by Libyans but rogue CIA officers, to kill off CIA agent on plane that knew that rogue officers were taking large amounts of money from drugs: Black Budget money; Islamic terrorists and hostages; CIA dealing drugs to pay for Black Ops; shadow government; Oliver North; Iran Contra; Ahmed Jibril, [Israeli Black op] Abu Nidal and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (General Command). See 'Kill the Messenger' based on the book 'Dark Alliance' by murdered Gary Webb.

As a US Intelligence Asset, Susan Lindauer covered anti-terrorism at the Iraqi Embassy in New York from 1996 up to the invasion. Independent sources have confirmed that she gave advance warning about the 9/11 attack. She also started talks for the Lockerbie Trial with Libyan diplomats. Shortly after requesting to testify before Congress about successful elements of Pre-War Intelligence, Lindauer became one of the first non-Arab Americans arrested on the Patriot Act as an "Iraqi Agent." She was accused of warning her second cousin, White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card and Secretary of State Colin Powell that War with Iraq would have catastrophic consequences. Gratis of the Patriot Act, her indictment was loaded with "secret charges" and "secret evidence." She was subjected to one year in prison on Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth, Texas without a trial or hearing, and threatened with indefinite detention and forcible drugging to shut her up. After five years of indictment without a conviction or guilty plea, the Justice Department dismissed all charges five days before President Obama's inauguration. Full story: youtube.com


What does the Ritual behind the Pearl Sword Really Signify?

City of London – the Swindle of Finance is being Exposed


March 6, 1936 — This is what Bruce H. Brown explained to his readers in The New Times (January 31, 1936, p. 3): Those of you who read the article entitled "Two Great Kings" will probably recall the brief reference to the arrest of his Majesty the King at the entrance to "The City," and also our promise to say more about it on another occasion. Within twelve months we have had the spectacle of the King of the British race being arrested twice. On the 6th May, 1935, King George the Fifth was commanded to halt and he did halt. Again, last month, King Edward the Eighth was commanded to halt at the same point, and he, too, did halt. The former was during the passage of the King from Buckingham Palace to St. Paul's Cathedral in connection with the Jubilee celebrations, and the latter was during the journey of the then Prince of Wales to Westminster to be proclaimed King.

Queen Elizabeth II arrested at City of LondonOn both occasions, when the King's coach and cavalcade reached Temple Bar, opposite the effigy of a Griffin which marks the boundary of the City of London, they encountered the Lord Mayor with his mace and sword bearers decked out in gold, ermine and crimson, representing Money Power, Legal Power and Military Power. Their progress was definitely blocked. The City Marshal pranced in front of the Lord Mayor and was there to impose on the King an act of obeisance to "the City." Sir Stephen Killik took a Pearl Sword, and, advancing to the Royal Coach, held the hilt to the King, who lightly touched it. Thereupon the city dignitaries and their carriages ceased to block the King's progress and he was graciously allowed to continue. (Here Queen Elizabeth II does obeisance to Gog and Magog and the City of London – painting by Alexander Talbot Rice).

"Quite a simple little ceremony in accordance with custom," you may say, but listen to the significance of it as given in the "Daily Express," London, on the 7th May, 1935, as follows: "No King of England may enter the City of London without first having that sword presented to him, hilt foremost, in token that the City Courts are agreeable to his entry." If the City Courts are not agreeable then presumably he does not enter!


The Dictatorship of Finance – The Instruments of the Financiers

This was a visible demonstration of the super-control to which even the King is subservient. It was a reminder that neither the King's Ministers nor the King himself should tamper with the instruments of the financiers of London—i.e., specie, securities, bullion, bonds, and the power to manufacture and control the people‘s money. It shows the supremacy of the dictatorship of Finance. This comes as a rude shock to the hundreds of thousands who thought that the King represented the people and was the head of the power of the Empire, acting only subject to the advice of his publicly elected ministers. Nothing was further from the truth.

    • The King reigns, but he does not rule.
    • Parliament assembles but it does not control.
    • Governments are appointed but they do not govern.

It is finance that rules, controls and governs, and Britain has become its mere vassal.

Gog & Magog[Despite their generally negative depiction in the Bible, Lord Mayors of the City of London carry images of Gog and Magog (depicted as giants) in a traditional procession in the Lord Mayor's Show. According to the tradition, the giants Gog and Magog are guardians of the City of London, and images of them have been carried in the Lord Mayor's Show since the days of King Henry V. The Lord Mayor's procession takes place each year on the second Saturday of November. The Gog and Magog statues at Gaunt's clock in the Royal Arcade, Melbourne, (erected 1892), are modeled on those at Guildhall, London, originally erected in 1708, and based on the traditional British myths of the conflict between the ancient Britons and Trojans].


Montagu the Norman

Finance must of course have its headquarters. From the point of view of world finance the headquarters are at Basle, Switzerland, but from the point of view of Empire finance the headquarters are in the City of London, with Montagu Norman as the conqueror, the Bank of England as the Citadel, and the Mansion House as the Palace. It naturally follows that the Lord Mayor of the City speaks and acts as would be desired by the Money Monopoly whose professional residences are within the boundary of his territory; and it is in keeping with other things that Griffins should be used to indicate that boundary.


The following description of a Griffin is more than interesting:

City of London crest"In appearance it is partly lion and partly eagle, and it is generally supposed to signify strength and watchfulness; the Persians have frequently shown it in sculpture as a guardian of treasure. Griffins appear prominently on the armorial crest of the City of London." The Pearl Sword is thus no idle symbol, for as we have told you before, it is on public record that in 1931 the Governor of the Bank of England (Montagu Norman) told the Prime Minister that "If Snowden goes, the Government goes." That meant that if the King's Government did not do as the Bankers desired then the Government would be dismissed. And Montagu was in earnest when he said it, as we shall see later.

Now, as far as the British Empire is concerned, it is necessary to emphasise the grave fact that the Financial Initiative and the Financial Veto of the City of London are law, actually over-riding parliamentary institutions.

The City of London has as one of its objectives the control of Economic Initiative and Direction in every part of the Empire by the method of suppressing private initiative, whether on the part of individuals or small corporations, and it does this by the use of the Pearl Sword known as taxation. All governments have to set and enforce their financial or fiscal policies according to the dictates of "The City." If they fail to do so, they are promptly denied access to what is called "Financial Resources," without which it is not possible for their Budgets to be balanced or for the administration even to function. In England, these "resources" are known as the "Ways and Means Account," a name which for generations has disguised the fact that the resources are neither more nor less than bank-created credit, the granting of which, under present conditions, depends on the whim of "The City" – i.e., the Bankers.


Governors Over Parliaments

"The City" is represented in the Government by the Treasury, and the Treasury is represented throughout the Empire by Governors-General and Governors who have power to veto any legislation which may get through Parliaments without the approval of the money monopolists. A classical example of this was provided when Sir Philip Game dismissed the Government of New South Wales, and it has been stated that some pseudo-British person made a special visit to the Governor's quarters in Sydney to tell him what to do and how to do it. The significance of that action becomes more apparent when the circumstances of the time are analysed, for it is found that Mr. Lang and his Government were not the scoundrels we had been asked to believe. History, if written by truthful men, will have a lot to say in Mr. Lang's favour.

So you can see how the Pearl Sword of finance in London swings over our heads in Australia, a land that is being bled white in the interests of "The City" thousands of miles away. If you doubt this, just give yourself the pastime of adding up the value of the total exports we have sent to Great Britain in the last 100 years and the value of the total imports we have received from Great Britain in the same period. Subtract the latter from the former and you will find that we have sent away goods to the value of hundreds of millions of pounds in excess of the value of the goods we have received. But despite this, "The City" says we are still in debt to them to the tune of nearly £600,000,000. Figure that out.


"No Country and No Conscience" [no inheritance in this world or hope in the world to come (Genesis 3:15; 4:11-15)].

Although the City of London has got us where it wants us, and even gets public obeisance from our King, it should not be assumed that it represents the interests of "British" capitalism. Whether we like to think so or not, it represents the combined policy of the world's banking oligarchy, whose members know no national boundaries where economic activity and opportunities are concerned. The Melbourne "Age" realises this, as will be seen from the following extract from its editorial of 5th February last:

"There has developed a new technique which has produced a more formidable and more objectionable scheme of private monopolisation. The international cartel has no country and no conscience, but it has tremendous power".

That's good for the "Age," and we are glad to see it waking up. No country and no conscience! It is represented by the Pearl Sword which overawes the King and which is the symbol of a sort of cosmopolitan lodge of bankers and financiers whose only allegiance is to High Finance and the worldwide control of the creation of money. Evidence already given before the Monetary Commission proves what we have written in this respect and shows how Australia is under the same control.

It is therefore becoming increasingly urgent for us to realise the unholy relationship between the ownership of money by the private banking system and the unsound economic conditions we see round about us. The latter have been imposed on us because our responsible Governments have been ignorant on the subject of money, and have thus allowed themselves to be rendered powerless to meet the needs of those who elected them.


Finance Beheads the King (Charles I)

For 300 years this financial oligarchy has been overlaying the peoples of the world with grossness and manifesting ideas of greed and power. The process started in 1649 when an English military oligarchy, backed by the financial power of the international financiers of Lombard Street, beheaded England's king. You will be aware that they also dealt with Napoleon [and from "Two Great Kings" (above), King Edward VIII, Australia's Prime Minister Harold Holt, two Tsars and a brace of US Presidents, Saddam Hussein, Col. Gaddafi, et al].

It was not a coincidence that at about the same time the "Goldsmiths" changed their title to "Bankers." It was a significant development, the re-christening of the Money Terror as the wolf it is in sheep's clothing. Since then the title "Bank" has come to be associated with palatial premises specially built to take care of people's money and savings; also as a place where money deposited by the public might be obtained in loan. Even now, comparatively few people have the faintest idea of the facts and do not realise that banks do not lend money that has been deposited with them. What they lend they create, and what is paid back to them they destroy.

This is how they control the volume of money available to the community. The Bank of England, for example, did not come into being because William of Orange (the King established by High Finance) or his Government wished to have somewhere to deposit money. Oh, no. It was because they were short of money and were induced to borrow it instead of issuing it.

In the face of this, the man who said that the banking system was born in illegitimacy, was reared in illegality, and exists today on illusionism was not far wrong. It was founded in debt, it lives and thrives on debt, and it derives its power from debt, all of which it creates by writing figures in its ledgers. In fact, it sucks the lifeblood and the security of humanity. The depositors' part in the scheme is to provide the smokescreen of respectability to hide the swindling aspect and to conceal the fact that the system is actually a private mint.


The Codlin Moth in the Apple

What a pity it was that the King did not kick the Pearl-swordsman in the pants or put the sword into him and say something like this:

Queen Elizabeth II led by Pearl Sword of the City of London"Away with you and your cosmopolitan money-mongers who are destituting my subjects throughout the Empire. I am their King and they are inheritors of the widest and wealthiest empire the world has ever seen. It is neither necessary nor justifiable that any one of them should be deprived of that which would make them economically secure and mentally content. I am determined in their name to resume control of British money and to release them from debt and distress." [In this photo: The Lord Mayor of London, David Wootton carries the pearl sword as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh attend a service for the Order of the British Empire at St Paul's Cathedral on March 7, 2012, London].

These cosmopolitan money-mongers, who have no country and no conscience, have their hive in the City of London, away from the Power of the Realm, like a codlin moth in the heart of an apple.


Australia, like other countries, is suffering from two diseases.

They are taxes and debt, and both are the product of the private Money Monopoly. Money power is based on taxes, and this power is reflected in debt. Government "loans" are talked about because that sounds better than Government "debt," and this is why we hear so much of the Loan Council and borrowing, and so little of the resulting debt and taxation. All the blether about the banks protecting "Australia's Credit" is intentionally directed towards securing the continuance of the existing swindle by which a private monopoly creates public debts and obtains payment of interest on them through excessive taxation. From this you can see that politicians who advocate public loans should be ticked off at once as thoroughly hopeless in securing relief from the burdens, which oppress the people.


Dominant Question is how to secure effective Distribution of the Abundance

Today the dominant question is how to secure the effective distribution of the great abundance of physical resources and general production of this country, all of which have been made available to the nation by knowledge and science with a decreasing need for human employment in the ordinary acceptation of the word "work." Money is the distributing instrument, and it is obvious to thinking people that the efficiency of our distributive organisation depends absolutely on the control of this instrument, combined with a knowledge of how to make it function so that the people may get the benefit of the natural resources and obtain the production referred to, instead of being locked out from them through the absence of money . . .

Response regarding the Colour of One's Skin

Blue man Paul Karason

October 30, 2014 — In Newsletter 766 archaeologist Jonathan Gray presented an interesting article "What if Your Skin Suddenly Changed?" on the colour of a man's skin in which he explained how in just one generation we could produce all the racial colours in the world. As it happens, mankind actually has only one skin color. That color shows up as different shades in proportion to the amount of melanin in the skin. Melanin is a coloring compound that protects our bodies by absorbing ultra-violet (UV) radiation from sunlight which falls on the skin. This agrees with the Prophet William Branham who said "God is colour-blind" concerning man's skin, and it sinks the racial prejudice of 'Rambam,' Jewry's greatest sage Moses Maimonides, Zionism and associated cults such as Mormonism, British Israelism and Christian Identity (so-called).

Many of these people are racial supremacists, the vast majority of whom are impersonating the master race from which without warrant they claim descent. But if their genealogy were pure as the driven snow unless their life is a written epistle of the "present Truth" the election is off. The Lord God is only redeeming one people, perfect in their generations in Adam's race even if the colour of their skin is blue like Mr. Paul Karason pictured above.

"Adam" is both the proper name of the first human and a designation for mankind. God himself gave this appellation to Adam and Eve (Genesis 5:1-2). The color red lies behind the Hebrew root adam and may reflect the red soil from which he was made and is named (Genesis 2:7). The word play between "Adam" and "ground" (Heb. adamah) is unmistakable. God cursed the ground whence he was taken and he returns to the earth whence he came (Genesis 3:19).

"So it is written, the first man Adam . . . is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven" (I Corinthians 15:45, 47; Luke 3:38; John 3:31).

Biologically, black people are no different from Caucasians, Latinos, Middle Easterners, etc. Sure, different races have different predispositions to certain diseases, but that's about it. Sometimes it may seem that black people don't blush simply because the darker skin color hides it. But if you feel the skin, it still becomes warmer, just as it does for any other race. Blushing is a result of blood vessels near the skin dilating, which allows more blood to pass through the skin, thus causing the red color.

I heard it once said that black people don't bruise. This is also false—again, it may appear that way simply because there is more pigment in the skin, which causes the darker color, so the bruise may not show up as clearly. And believe it or not, black people also tan. Just as with anyone, more sun exposure releases more skin pigmentation, which in turn causes a darker coloring (quora.com) . . .

Elijah, Elisha and the Chariots of Fire, type the Ministry of the End Time Bride versus Jehu's End Time Ministry

By Pastor Chibueze Uzoho

II Kings 2:11-15, "And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan; And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? And when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. And when the sons of the prophets who were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him".

The special relations between these chosen servants of the Lord reached their climax as Elijah's ministry was nearing its end and he was to leave the scene in a very unusual manner. God appeared to Elijah on Mount Horeb and asked him what he was doing there. Elijah replied that Ahab and Jezebel had slain all of God's prophets and he alone remained, yet his life too was in danger. However, the ministry of God's anointed servants cannot end before the Lord is finished with him.

Leaving Mount Horeb, Elijah followed God's instructions and made his way to the town of Abel-Meholah, just west of the Jordan River. There he met a man called Elisha, whose name means, "My God is salvation," and anointed him to be a prophet in his place, instructing him that he was to anoint Hazael as the future king of Syria, and Jehu as the king over Israel (I Kings 19:15-21).

The Bible does not tell us much about Elisha's background, only that he was the son of Shaphat of Abel-Meholah. What transpired was somewhat unusual. Elijah did not anoint Elisha with oil but cast his cloak over Elisha denoting that he was to succeed him in his prophetic responsibilities, a pantomime whose significance required no words. Elisha responded by asking Elijah if he could permit him time to farewell his family. Elijah simply replied, "What have I done to you?" (I Kings 19:20-21) intimating, "Go, take leave of your parents. I have summoned you to the prophetic office; your abode is henceforth not with your parents: you are to follow me. Bear in mind the solemn ceremony I have performed on you, and remember, it is not I, but God, who calls you. Do not allow any earthly affection to distract you from obedience".

Elisha fulfilled his filial obligations and did not delay his departure. Jesus said, "Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up his cross and follow Me" (Mark 8:34). Elisha burnt all worldly bridges behind himself, slew the oxen with which he had been ploughing, fueled a fire from the yoke and frame of his plough and cooked them then and there as a farewell feast with his colleagues in the field to demonstrate he had forsaken his former calling (or denominational beliefs) forever. And, bidding his fellows farewell, took leave of his parents.

Elisha became Elijah's disciple and for the next few years served him faithfully and obediently received his instructions at the school of the prophets. Elijah said, "Elisha, you stay here now. Settle down and be a good teacher of theology, and someday you may become Dean of the college. I've got to go a little farther up to Bethel."

Could you imagine a prophet of God being satisfied to be Dean of a theological college when the power of God lay right around where he was standing? Elisha replied, "As the Lord lives, and your soul lives, I will not leave you." Unsatisfied, the young disciple held true to the "present Truth," desperate for "more of the Spirit." Notwithstanding the discouragements that might become his lot he followed the vindicated prophet past Bethel, Jericho and Jordan to the crowning of his ministry—a type of the end time Bride obediently following the three stages of the ministry of the Elijah of Malachi 4:6b.

A great miracle took place at the River Jordan when God's Word spoken by Elijah took command over nature and they crossed dry shod. After crossing, Elijah asked, "Now, ask what I shall do for you before I am taken away?" And Elisha replied, "Let a double portion of your spirit to come upon me." Knowing the demands of the ministry he was inheriting he requested "a double portion," not a comfortable experience, a firm handshake, or the assurance of good fellowship with the brethren and other churches following the first Elijah's Message, but a double portion of his Holy Ghost anointing.

This request was not as is commonly supposed, for the power of working miracles exceeding the magnitude and number of his master's, nor does it mean a higher endowment of the prophetic spirit; for Elisha was neither superior to, nor perhaps equal with his predecessor. The phrase "a double portion" applied to a first-born; therefore Elisha's request was simply to be heir to the prophetic office and gifts of his master (Deuteronomy 21:17).

Brother, when God chooses a man for a task He calls him because he has some gift or experience He does not find among other men. He must have something ordinary church members do not possess. So Elisha requested a double portion of the Spirit that rested on Elijah. Therefore Elijah said, "If you see me when I go, you will receive what you have asked. You must keep your eye on the promise." And if there ever was a time that a double portion is needed to lead the church up to Higher Ground, it is right now!

Elisha did not care what his Message brethren thought. He was elect and knew his calling; therefore he reached out for the fullness. Literally and symbolically, Elijah's mantle passed to Elisha who served as a prophet called of God for about fifty years as he continued the efforts of the first Elijah in restoring the faith. Here is a clear type of the end time ministry of the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and the obedient little Bride he called out from the world church system to follow his footsteps in service to the Lord, and 2015 will mark the fiftieth year of the end-time Bride's service in Elijah's stead, (Revelation 10:8-11). Elisha was a type of the true end time Bride of Christ.

II Kings 2:11-15 foreshadows and describes the Mount Sunset experience of March 8, 1963. Let's take a critical look at some verses from our text.

". . . behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder . . . Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."

As Elisha witnessed the theophany of the chariot of fire and horses of fire, almost a millennia later the apostles would see three theophanies at Christ's assumption and subsequently tongues of fire upon the heads of the inaugural members of His Body, the Church. Elisha was the sole person to receive the revelation as it were lip to ear, for "no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" (II Peter 1:20-21). Thus today the Life of Christ passes through the Body of Christ and can only be imparted to kindred souls predestinated to be baptized into His end-time Bride, although millions of souls, good and bad might hear, believe and even learn the Message verbatim, only those foreknown and called of God will 'see' the revelation of His second or 'parousia' Coming, which is the rapture, and make up His end-time Bride.

In Revelation 4:1, John, who types the "end time Bride" throughout the Book, is caught up in the Spirit of revelation into the Presence of the Lord and God's Throne in the seventh dimension. When members of Christ's end-time Bride recognize the "shout" of I Thessalonians 41:16, which is the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6 they are "seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus," caught up by the same Spirit into the 'rapture' as "with open face they behold as in a looking-glass the glory of the Lord and are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" till they are "changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye" following the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet and manifestation of the Sons of God (II Corinthians 3:18; I Corinthians 15:51-52).

Elisha would not part from Elijah until he received his request. It cannot be explained as of a servant to his master or a disciple to his teacher, but as of a son to his spiritual father. And at the end after crossing Jordan, which signifies death, Elijah treats Elisha as a dying father would treat his son and is ready to give him the blessing of a father and of a prophet. Under the Law the first-born son was entitled to a double portion of the father's estate given to any other sons (Deuteronomy 21:17); so in this sense Elisha's request is that he might receive his inheritance of the spirit of knowledge and wisdom, strength and power as his first-born in comparison with the other sons of the prophet. This was an adoption ceremony like Matthew 3:17 and 17:5.

Elijah could not give any more than he himself possessed. And Elisha wanted only so much as was necessary for him to be that for which Elijah had destined him, as his successor as leader of the prophets. And if he should be a witness of his departure he will know that God has ordained him to continue his prophetical work and that he will receive the measure of the Spirit commensurate with his need.

The fiery horses and chariot are a figurative description of the Shekinah and that parted them when Elijah went up by a whirlwind, and like Enoch, "he was not." Elisha expresses what the departing was for himself as a spiritual son, and for the whole nation: "And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof." Spiritually, Elijah had been Israel's horses and chariots, or protection and defense even in time of war. Transference of Elijah's mantle was a pledge of his appointment in Elijah's stead, and an outward token to the sons of the prophets and others of the spirit of Elijah resting upon him.

In Brother Branham's Message, "Manifested Sons of God" he said, "Ever was a man that ever represented Pentecost and was a true apostle, it was F. F. Bosworth, clean, straight, real Gospel (See?), it was Bosworth. And when I held him in my arms [before his passing], and I screamed, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof," he said, "Son, stay on the field." Said, "Beat some of these young fellows to the foreign fields if you can. Before they get a lot of fanaticism over there, take them that real Gospel that you've got . . . Don't let these young Pentecostal preachers get over there with a lot of nonsense, and poison the thing up, and get all the diplomats, and all the country against it before you get there" (p. 34:220).

In the antitype of the glorious close of our Elijah's ministry, you will receive a double portion of the anointing, but only if you see the revelation of Christ's 'parousia' which in the twinkling of an eye will place you in the end-time Bride and the rapture. Like others, Elisha believed Elijah's Message, but learning the Message by "hearing what the tapes say" and a copybook belief could not satisfy Elisha; being spiritual he did not rest until his calling and election were experientially vindicated by the manifestation of Elijah's spoken Word to him, personally!

Matthew 24:3bOnce members of Christ's Bride see by faith the significance of the descent of the chariots of the seven angels and the change in Elijah's ministry after his anointing for the prophetic office they receive transforming power as did Elisha. She possesses the double portion of the anointing; the two keys Jesus gave to John in Revelation 1:18. This double portion represents the keys of hell and death in addition to the keys of the Kingdom (or faith in the "present Truth" – Matthew 16:19) for new birth by oneness through the revelation of the Mount Sunset experience.

". . . he saw him no more".

This dislodges the mistaken expectation of some for the 'return ministry' of our Elijah because after His experience Elisha saw Elijah no more. And Christ's end time Bride—enthused with her new experience and commission—does not expect to see William Branham again until the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the "air": his old ministry in the Part Word dispensation of Laodicea changed and was transformed to the fullness of the W_O_R_D.

Brother Branham explains this in his interpretation of Brother Roy Roberson's dream which alludes to this change:

"About that time, Roy Roberson come in, said, "Brother Branham, you remember back there before you left the church the first time? I seen you sitting, like in Palestine. We was all, the board and everything, was sitting like the Lord's Supper Table, and then you talked. And we wasn't sure what you was talking about." Said, "A white cloud come down and got you, packed you away." How many remembers the dream of Brother Roy? And said, "The white cloud packed you away," and said, "then you was gone. I walked through the streets, screaming and crying."

"When I come up out here, and that little old arm crippled up, like he was, a reading this. He dropped the rake and started crying when he seen me coming up out there. I hadn't seen him so he tell me the dream. And he said . . . And he was raking. I said . . ."

"And you went away." Said, "I walked the streets, everywhere, trying to find you. I couldn't find you, nowhere. I was screaming, 'Oh, Brother Branham, don't leave!'" Said, "A white cloud come in and got you, and packed you away from us, towards the west." That was before the pyramid or anything. Said, "Packed you towards the west. And I cried, and I walked the streets."

Said, "After a while I went and sat at the table. I happened to look up there at the head of the table." Said, "I could just see that much of you, was snow white." Said, "You was standing there." And said, "You spoke with authority. There was no guessing to it." Said, "Every man understood exactly what you said" (And Knoweth It Not, p. 274-276).

This is likened to Elijah's ministry of a white chariot and fire. The Elijah of this day is not William Branham but the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, (Revelation 1:1, and 10:7, 22:16). To receive this revelation is to receive Elijah's Mantle and the promise of the double portion for Elisha: the regeneration of your soul and the glorification of your flesh without death.

Elisha's Ministry was a continuation of the first Elijah's ministry by the same Spirit as the ministry of the Elijah of Malachi 4:6b and Matthew 17:11, William Branham, was a continuation of the Ministry of the Elijah of Malachi 4:6a, John the Baptist. In a previous type Joshua's ministry was a continuation of Moses' ministry. Joshua who faithfully followed Moses, and Caleb who served Joshua, type Christ and His Bride.

W_O_R_D BrideElisha died in the flesh but the power of his double portion resurrected a dead man who came in contact with his bones (II Kings 13:21). Christ's end time Bride has the double portion and will not see death in the flesh; the completion of our full number mature in the unity of the faith will call the resurrection and glorification of the sleeping saints, our bodily change and our translation to the sixth dimension. For us Elijah's mantle will be "fine linen, clean and white, for fine linen is the righteousnesses of saints." Our robe made from "the true sayings of God" revealed by our Elijah will fit perfectly. Does not this change narrated in Brother Roberson's dream happen in each individual when belief in "what the tapes say" becomes faith when the Spoken Word is placed personally by "the Voice of the Archangel," Jesus Christ whispering His secrets in the heart of His Bride by placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation?

The Elijah of Malachi 4:6b was the Seventh Angel who restored the apostolic faith and finished the Mystery of God. Revelation 10:8-11 illustrates how Christ's end-time Bride grows to maturity as "the true sayings of God" (Revelation 19:10) fits perfectly, and like Elisha's 'third pull' we are empowered to "prophesy our Elijah's Message again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings."

"He took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces . . . He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him." With Elijah's mantle Elisha typed the end-time Bride who rends her denominational rags and becomes God's anointed Vessel and mouthpiece on earth today in Elijah's stead. Elisha's revelation of Elijah's rapture dressed him in a double portion of the Spirit of Elijah. Our Elijah did die, but with the double portion we will not die. Amen!

Jesus promised, "Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven" (Mathew 18:18). "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; to him that overcomes I will give to eat of the hidden manna, and give him a white stone, and in the stone a new Name written, which no man knows except he who receives it" (Revelation 2:17; 19:12).

Only those in the revelation of the "present Truth" who are applying that faith in God's Word to overcome in this world are assured the promises of the hidden manna of the pure revelation signified by the white stone—God's seal of approval. It is a clear revelation of the "present Truth" written in our life that is our personal vindication and witnesses to others "that we have been with Jesus" (Acts 4:13). Brother Branham called this "the Token" or evidence of the Life of Christ in us. Paul said the Token is "our hope of glory".

The members of the end time Bride have each put off their own denominational rag of self-made doctrines and traditions of men and are now in possession of the mantle of our Elijah with the Capstone prophetic ministry of the fullness of the Word afore delivered by the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6.

Brother Branham said, "I'm trusting in Him, someday; I don't know when, for a crowning of my ministry. I'll stay just as true as I could be. I don't know what it'll be; I don't know when it'll be. But when He's ready, I am. Now, look here. I hope He'll crown my ministry with this, of letting me take the clothes of the Word and dress His Bride in the clothes of the Word and for His righteousness. I hope He'll crown me and let me stand there on that day, say, "Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world" (Present Stage of My Ministry, p. 24:121).

"And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? And when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over".

It's fascinating when a Son of God recognizes his God-given position as did Elisha. Elisha stayed true to the revealed Word and had seen the rapture. It was now time for the showdown and for Elisha to come down to Jordan to face the critical world. When he did so he cried, "Where is the God of Elijah?" It was not Elijah's robe that performed the supernatural. A second hand robe was all right, but Elisha realized what he needed in this hour of emergency was the vindication of his office by the 'third pull.' He wore a second hand robe when he came to the river, but he needed a brand new, first-hand revelation from God manifest in first-hand power. Brethren today have spent too long sobbing at Jordan's banks. It's time for the operative Ministry of the third pull. Speak; don't cry for your ugly situations and predicaments. The God of Elijah is not dead!

At this crucial moment the end time Bride needs to ensure complete obedience to the Word once delivered to the Apostles and restored by the God of Elijah, and a more steadfast holding-on to the promise of this hour. How can the third pull or the Spoken word be effective if our lives are not under pre-eminence to the Word?

". . . they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him".

These prophets saw Elisha coming in the authority of revelation having witnessed that rapture and reverenced him. For a time he had been hidden absorbing and recognizing the character and authority of God's Word; now he re-appears with a double portion of the Spirit which had endued his predecessor.

After the departure of our Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 we see a dispensation in which Elisha, Christ's end time Bride, enters into the secret place, a generally unrecognized dispensation veiled from the eyes of our denominational cousins and unseen by the world. Here God grooms her to maturity for the manifestation of the sons of God and the great translation. When an elect comes under pre-eminence to the revelation of the threefold process of the rapture that began the ministry of the Seven Seals ten days after the 'chariots' of seven angels descended upon Mount Sunset and sounded "seven mysterious thunders right in a row" as Christ opened the Seals, he automatically becomes part of that Elisha group Brother Branham mentioned when he declared: "Wait till them seven thunders utter their voices to that group who really can take the Word of God and hand it there. It'll slice and cut. And they can close the heavens; they can shut this or do that, whatever they want to".

Elijah and Elisha had much in common. In I Kings 18, Elijah stood alone on the Word against Ahab and the denominational worshipers of that day. God answered by Fire from heaven and Elijah slew their false prophets (I Kings 18; Revelation 19:20). His antitype, our Elijah Brother Branham stood against Jezebel religion, sham democracies and dictatorships; and the true Bride will stand alone on the Word against Jezebel religion and government edicts in the 'squeeze' under the latter rain after the Seventh Trumpet signals the end of the Gentile dispensation with the sinking of Los Angeles. Christ, who returned on March 8, 1963 and is present on earth in W_O_R_D form will soon show "the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead" by quickening the "third pull" to instill faith in us by rapturing grace for translation power (Ephesians 1:19-20).

Looking at Jehu's anointing as a foreshadow for our instruction in this day, we find he types the anointed ones within the circle of this Message whose gifts and abilities dethrone Jezebel from the heart of Message masses but eventually build empires to establish themselves in the hearts of the non-elect believers.

Jehu cannot type the true end time evangelism for although he initially overthrew Ahab's dynasty and destroyed Baal worship, he later betrayed God. Jehu is unfit to type the Bride or any fivefold ministry as some have imagined for he had no intention of carrying his zeal for the Lord beyond a certain point, and considered it impolitic to encourage his subjects to travel to Jerusalem and allowed the worship of calves (II Kings 10:28-31). Today's Jehu's are indifferent to admonishing followers to "prove all things" and seek spiritual understanding of this end time Message by the Word.

There are many anointed Jehu's within the Message circle today whose ministries would even deceive the very elect if it were possible. In Nigeria there is presently one notable false anointed one with the claim of "Jehu's ministry." A feverishly dissolving worldwide US-based Message movement makes all manner of attempts to miserably confuse its followers and put them under the yoke of their dismembering empire. Seven other "Jehu's" were made "anointed ones" to reveal the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10; several have fallen asleep already with no understanding of the "Seven Thunders mysteries" Brother Branham revealed in the Seals. The end time Jehu's within the circle of this Message are legion.

Have you like Elisha seen the revelation of Christ's parousia signified by the descent of the 'chariots' of seven angels with the "seven thunders sounding right in a row"? And did you recognize the change in our Elijah's ministry that initiated the three-fold process of our rapture expounded by Paul? This revelation places Christ's end time Bride, the Elisha of this day, in her position in the Body and will release her double portion of anointing for the manifestation of the sons of God and the translation. nl864.htm

America's 'Contingency Plan' to attack Iran with Nuclear Weapons

November 19, 2014 — "Military documents as well as official statements, both the US and Israel contemplate the use of nuclear weapons directed against Iran" . . . plans were formulated in 2004 . . . Congress gave the Pentagon the green light to use thermo-nuclear weapons in conventional war theaters in the Middle East and Central Asia, allocating $6 billion in 2004 alone to create the new generation of "defensive" tactical nuclear weapons or "mini-nukes".

"In 2005, Vice President Dick Cheney ordered USSTRATCOM (Strategic Command) to draft a 'contingency plan' that included "a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons" . . . beyond the terms of reference outlined in the Pentagon's 2001 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), which called for a "preemptive" "first strike use" of nuclear weapons against Russia and China as well as Iran and North Korea . . . [It] identified more than 450 strategic targets in Iran, including numerous alleged nuclear-weapons-program development sites. The plan, incredibly, was rationalized on a second 9/11 type attack on the US that Cheney believed Iran would allegedly support! . . .

America's mini-nukes, with an explosive capacity of up to six times a Hiroshima bomb, are upheld as a 'humanitarian' bomb, whereas Iran's nonexistent nuclear weapons are branded as an indisputable threat to global security," Chossudovsky writes.

He notes that the US has stepped up its military shipments to Israel, its NATO allies, and to countries bordering Iran. Israel in 2004 took shipment of the first of 500 US-made BLU 109 "bunker buster" bombs, and the US has supplied thermonuclear bombs to Belgium, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Turkey, and Great Britain. Turkey alone, a partner in the US anti-Iran coalition, has 90 thermonuclear B61 bombs at its Incirlik nuclear air base.

"It is not Iran and North Korea which are a threat to global security by the United States of America and Israel," he adds. What's more, Western European governments . . . "have endorsed the US-led military initiative against Iran" . . . The US reportedly has 20,000 nuclear bombs available to use and Israel reportedly has another 200, whereas Iran is not known to have one. US military spending of $700 billion a year, moreover, is 100 times the rate of Iran's $7 billion annual military outlay. Full story: globalresearch.ca

Comment: Could this be another reason why there must be an invasion of the USA as the Prophet foretold?


Russia threatens the United States

President Putin

November 12, 2014 — Russia has said its air force will conduct regular air patrols from the Arctic Ocean to the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico . . . Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said . . . "long-range aviation units" would fly along the borders of the Russian Federation and over the waters of the Arctic Ocean. Under the prevailing circumstances we need to ensure a military presence in the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific oceans, the waters of the Caribbean basin and the Gulf of Mexico . . ." Full story: youtube.com bbc.com

Comment: Russia has to defend herself against the belligerent West. The US, the UK, Russia, China and France are rebuilding or upgrading their arsenals of nuclear weapons. The other four nuclear states (Pakistan, India, Israel, and North Korea) too are 'improving' their arsenals . . . The nine nuclear states have over 10,000 nuclear weapons in their stockpiles.


NATO 1949: Origin of an Offensive, Expansionist, Imperialist Military Alliance

November 12, 2014 — The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, was launched sixty five years ago following the signature of the Atlantic Pact in 1949. The original member states that came together under US tutelage claimed that their alliance was dedicated to the preservation of peace and to the defence of Western Europe against the supposed threat of military aggression. It is noteworthy that the launch of NATO coincided with the intensification of the Cold War, the political division of Germany and the first tentative steps by the US and Britain to rearm the new West German state.

In his memoirs published in 1989, Andrei Gromyko, who was Soviet Foreign Minister from the mid-1950s when he succeeded Molotov, to 1985, recounts an episode from his long career that has received scant attention in the West. It concerns the Soviet response to the establishment of NATO. It is worth quoting in full:

"In 1955 a meeting of the heads of government of the USSR, USA, Britain and France took place in Geneva. Sharp exchanges occurred revealing serious differences between the former allies. Eisenhower, Eden and Edgar Faure fiercely argued that NATO was a force for peace, especially in Europe, whereas in fact their plan was aimed at swallowing up East Germany into West Germany, and whitewashing the remilitarisation of West Germany in peace-loving propaganda.

In an effort to deprive the three Western powers of their notion that the Soviet Union was not doing its part in consolidating peace, the Soviet delegation, consisting of Khrushchev, Bulganin, Molotov, Marshal Zhukov and myself, announced that the Soviet Union was willing to join NATO. We argued that, since NATO was dedicated to the cause of peace, it could not but agree to include the USSR. It is hard to describe the effect this announcement had on the Western delegations when it was made by Bulganin, as President of the Council of Ministers. They were so stunned that for several minutes none of them said a word. Eisenhower's usual vote-winning smile vanished from his face. He leaned over for a private consultation with Dulles; but we were not given a reply to our proposal . . . Full story: greanvillepost.com

May 26, 2014 — "We are too small minded to govern our own affairs and we must surrender our individual rights . . ." . . . to a DICTATOR [like the EU or UN]! Only 19 seconds long. PLEASE WATCH. Not reported by US media—the German Press had to do it. Full story: youtube.com

Comment: "The king's plan of action for the current moment, and all the more so for the future, will be unknown, even to those who are called his closest counselors" Protocol 24:8.


A New Push for Peace in Syria?

November 14, 2014 — After robbing over 130,000 people of their lives, and evicting over 9 million refugees from their homes, the Syrian war has infected nearly every region of the Middle East. Yet among the US and its regional allies there are no public discussions about a viable peace plan, only war talk.

It's hard to talk peace when the United States is still maneuvering for war, having recently given $500 million to arm and train Syrian rebels, while also brokering a deal with [Jewish-ruled] Saudi Arabia to open a new Syrian rebel training camp, in addition to the one already functioning in Jordan. Instead of using Obama's vast Middle East influence for peace he has used it to push war . . .

Obama chose instead to reinforce the close alliances with pariah states Saudi Arabia and Israel, and both are demanding that Syria be destroyed. By re-committing himself to [Jewish] Saudi Arabia, [Donmeh Jew-ruled] Turkey, and Israel, [Jewish President] Obama has essentially abandoned peace with Syria and Iran, since Obama's allies want Syria and Iran destroyed.

If Obama followed the lead of Russia and Egypt in the peace process, his allies would abandon him, since they've invested huge sums of money, arms, and their political livelihoods on making sure their governments and domestic companies profit off of the demise of the Syrian government . . . The stalemate has become so obvious and destructive in Syria that Russia and Egypt have inserted themselves as power brokers, which would act to bolster their political-economic leverage while pushing the US out . . .

Crisis Actors employed in Apostate West's False Flags

November 19, 2014 — Following the success of three false flag holocausts, each of six million Jews in the twentieth century, Jewish controlled governments of apostate (once) Christian nations have caught the MOSSAD's disease "By way of DECEIT thou shalt do war." The reasons for the Boer War, World Wars I and II, the Vietnam War, Saddam's WMD, Iran's nuclear threat, wars on the nouns Poverty, Drugs, Hate, Terror, Communism, Inequality, Discrimination, Polio, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, SARS, AIDS, Ebola—all as phony as Prohibition, ISIS, al Qaeda, the US-engineered situations in the Ukraine and Syria, the USS Maine, SS Sussex, Pearl Harbour, Boston Marathon, Port Arthur and Sandy Hook massacres, 7/7, 9/11, events worldwide in Marriott and Westfield properties; shootings in schools, universities and shopping centres, Global warming/climate change, Hurricane Katrina . . . lying propaganda and bloody slaughter engineered by a 'hidden hand'.

Christianity has approximately 2.4 billion adherents, out of about 7.2 billion people and has certainly gentrified the world; however the true living saints would be few. Without Christ, the Holy Spirit, it is evident that our lives are manipulated by Satan who has been riding his pale horse since the twentieth century. His vicarious children have us killing our own kin in wars and in the invisible genocide of miscegenation misnamed multiculturalism to the diminution of Christ's Kingdom.

"Fox, the London Telegraph and the Daily Mail all published articles promoting a video claiming to show a Syrian boy rescuing a young girl amid heavy gunfire during Syria's ongoing conflict. The Daily Mail claimed under its article titled, "Heroic young boy runs through sniper fire in Syria, pretends to get shot, then rescues terrified girl as bullets hit the floor around them," that: Yabroud was the last rebel stronghold held by the FSA on the Lebanese border before it fell to Assad's forces in March 2014 . . . the video was a complete hoax—a literal production filmed in Malta, not Syria, and consisting of actors, actresses, and special effects. The UK Mirror in its article, "Footage of Syrian 'hero boy' dodging sniper's bullets to save girl revealed as FAKE," would finally admit:

Lars Klevberg, 34, from Oslo, devised the hoax after watching news coverage of the troubles in Syria. He told BBC Trending: "If I could make a film and pretend it was real, people would share it and react with hope. "We shot it in Malta in May this year on a set that was used for other famous movies like Troy and Gladiator. "The little boy and girl are professional actors from Malta. The voices in the background are Syrian refugees living in Malta" . . . "Syrian refugees living in Malta" participated in his propaganda stunt. This is far from the first time the West and its proxies have been caught blatantly producing false reports, footage, and claims regarding the Syrian conflict. In fact, the Western media's coverage of the Syrian conflict is nothing more than a series of deceptions crutching their way along on their audience's perceived ignorance, from one exposed sham to another.

During the beginning of the Syrian conflict in 2011, there was "Gay Girl in Damascus" who turned out to be a 40 year-old American man based in the UK . . . also "Syria Danny," a regular guest on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 until he was caught blatantly staging chaos off-camera ahead of a scheduled call-in . . .

A Quick Look at US Military Involvement in Africa

November 13, 2014 — Boko Haram is said to be a creation of the CIA and Mossad in order to destabilize the African continent. Its emphasis is on oil and resource-rich Nigeria. Its purpose is to put a black mark on Islam, and a determined push to isolate China from Africa.

No fewer than 75 Boko Haram militants were killed on Wednesday by local hunters in Maiha Local Government Area of Adamawa State, who recaptured the local government headquarters from the hand of the insurgents . . . hunters mobilised after they were told that the insurgents had killed a Nigeria lieutenant colonel . . . some of the insurgents were killed with bows and arrows. Investigations revealed that there is a fear of reprisal by the insurgents . . . over 20,000 local hunters in Adamawa State are mobilising forces to team up with the Nigerian troops to liberate some captured local government areas of the state from the hand of the insurgents. Meanwhile . . . The Muslim Ummah, led by its state chairman, but represented by Uztaz Dauda Muhammad Bello, described the propaganda of the Boko Haram Islamist extremist as unfortunate and at variance with Islamic teachings . . .

AFRICOMOne report titled "China's New Security Strategy in Africa" (Summer 2009) actually betrays the Pentagon's fear of the PLA eventually sending troops to Africa to protect Chinese interests. China will soon become Africa's largest trading partner—ahead of France and the UK—and its top source of foreign investment. It's telling that the best the West could come up with to counteract this geopolitical earthquake was to go the militarised way. The external Chinese model of trade, aid and investment—not to mention the internal Chinese model of large-scale, state-led investments in infrastructure—made Africa forget about the West while boosting the strategic importance of Africa in the global economy.

Why would an African government rely on the ideology-based "adjustments" of [the City's] IMF and the World Bank when China attaches no political conditions and respects sovereignty—for Beijing, the most important principle of international law? On top of it, China carries no colonial historical baggage in Africa . . . Full story: US in Africaodili.net


Malaysian Airlines MH17 downed by Ukrainian Military Aircraft

November 15, 2014 — At the APEC Summit in Beijing, Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott who is hosting this week's G20 meetings in Brisbane, intimated in no uncertain terms, during a 15 minute encounter with Russian President Vladimir Putin, that Moscow was responsible for the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine.

Global Research has from the outset provided extensive coverage of the downing of MH17. The evidence and analysis not only dispels Prime Minister Abbott's accusations, it points unequivocally to a false flag attack instigated by the US-NATO supported Kiev regime, as well as a coverup by the Australian and Dutch investigators.

Lest we forget, the downing of MH17 was used as a pretext by Washington to impose economic sanctions on the Russian Federation. The Western media and governments have gone to arms length to suppress and distort the evidence which points to the downing of MH17 not by a Buk missile but by a Ukrainian military aircraft . . .

Ukraine's President, to the People he's bombing: 'Go to Hell'

November 17, 2014 — Ukraine's President, Petro Poroshenko, in an Odessa TV address to the nation, on November 13th, said: "We will have our jobs. They will not. We will have our pensions. They will not. We will have care for children, for people, and retirees. They will not. Our children will go to schools and kindergartens. Theirs will hole up in basements [from our bombs] because they are not able to do anything. This is exactly how we will win this war! [i.e., we will starve and terrorize them into submission.]"

His corrupt government was installed by the United States of America, in a violent coup this past February, under the cover of "Maidan" demonstrations against the previous corrupt leader of Ukraine. US President Barack Obama wants US oil companies to be able to frack in Ukraine [to depress prices and suppress the Russian economy], and wants to place nuclear missiles there, against next-door Russia, but the previous Ukrainian ruler wouldn't go along with those goals. So, Obama overthrew him and now wants to get rid also of the people who had voted for him. That's why the successor President, Poroshenko, is bombing these people: to get rid of them.

Media Blackout as [US-backed] Ukrainian Fascists execute Locals who sympathize with Donetsk People's Republic

October 23, 2014 — A truck with a mounted video camera belonging to members of Ukrainian punitive nationalist battalion was captured by self-defense forces of Donetsk People's Republic. Part of the video shows Ukrainian radicals taking several locals to a large hole in the ground in a wooded area, made locals get in the hole and then shot them. The mass grave has been found, Donetsk authorities are investigating murders and hate crimes against Russian-speaking Ukrainians (uacrisis).

Though this video of genocide-in-action is rare, the event itself is routinely happening in southeastern Ukraine, so that the Ukrainian Government can reduce the population in the area of Ukraine that had voted over 80% for the Ukrainian President whom the Obama Administration overthrew in a violent CIA-paid, US-State-Department planned-and-run, coup, which climaxed on 22 February 2014. The new Government is trying to eliminate enough of the people who had voted for him so that the coup-imposed regime will be able to stay in power 'democratically,' with those Russia-friendly voters gone . . .

Here is how deeply immersed in hatred of "Moscals" these people are. The Ukrainians who fought on Hitler's side in WWII are heroes to them. An American friend who happens to live in the conflict-zone, the southeast, where the "Moskals" are predominant, wrote me today about the city of "Mariupol." The hospital there is being inundated with rape victims. A lot of girls are just going missing. People are disappearing constantly . . . Killing the residents is considered to be 'patriotic' . . . as those voters in Ukraine's far-east stayed alive where they were, inside Ukraine, no anti-Russian regime in Ukraine would be able to remain securely in power . . .

Due to the Internet, this is the first genocide that is being documented in real time, as it occurs. Historians will note this genocide, and will also note where it was reported, and where it was not reported. Full story: globalresearch.ca

Comment: Zechariah 14:2 prophesied that in the 'hot stage' of World War III the Israeli Jewish women will be raped (as Judaeo-Communists raped two million German women and girls of the Third Reich, and Brother Branham said this will happen in the United States when it is defeated in World War III. "The Bible says it will happen. But let me tell you, that will never touch the Church of the living God; we'll be gone by that time" (Handwriting on the Wall, p. 11:84-90). And Obama, Cameron, Abbott and the other apostate leaders of the West are hastening the day, forcing Russia into the 'hot stage' of World War III as their forefathers forces Germany and Japan into World War II.


Church of England formally approves Plans for Women Bishops

November 17, 2014 — The Church of England has formally adopted legislation which means its first female bishops could be ordained next year. The amendment was passed with a show of hands at the general synod. The first women priests were ordained in 1994, but to date they have not been able to take on the Church's most senior roles. [Jewish] Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said the move meant the start of "a new way of being the church" . . .
Full story: bbc.com

Comment: A "new way indeed" (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8; I Timothy 4:1-2). A bishop is a layMAN elected by a local congregation for a limited term, usually one year. HE is subject to HIS pastor and HIS authority does not extend beyond HIS local assembly.

I Timothy 3:2-7, "A bishop must be above reproach, the HUSBAND of one wife, hard-working, temperate, sensible, dignified, hospitable, apt and skilful in teaching; neither a drunkard nor violent but gentle, not quarrelsome but conciliatory and no lover of money; presiding well over HIS own household, having HIS children submissive and completely respectful; for if a MAN does not know how to manage HIS own house, how can HE care for God's Church? He must not be a recent convert, lest being lifted up with conceit he fall into the condemnation of the Devil. He must be well thought of by outsiders so that Satan cannot snare him with many accusations and leave him without freedom to conduct his office".


The Bible is not a Jewish Book

By Bertrand L. Comparet

The statement is commonly made, even by those who should know better, that we Christians owe a debt to the Jews, for we received our Bible and our religion from them. While many people have been deceived into believing this, it is completely false. Part of the mistake comes from the complete confusion in the minds of nearly all people as to just what they mean by Jew. Are they referring to people of a certain race, or referring to a people of a certain religion, for the two are not the same. There are in Africa today, pure blooded Negroes who are Jews by religion; in India today there are pure blooded Indians who are Jews, and there are in China today, pure blooded Mongolians who are Jews by religion. Likewise, there are some people today who are racially of the stock we know as Jews, but who have been converted to other religions.

First let's consider the claim we received our Bible and our religion from the Jews, meaning Jews by religion. It is certain we didn't get the New Testament from them, for the Jewish religion is condemned throughout the New Testament. But did we get the Old Testament from them? No, for several reasons: in the first place, no Jew by religion existed before the return from the Babylonian captivity, shortly after 536BC. Their great historian Josephus writes, "So the Jews prepared the work. Jew is the name they are called by from the day that they came up from Babylon." The only books of the Old Testament that were written after the return from Babylon are, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah (all of them historical, rather than doctrinal), Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi. In none of these do the Jews receive anything but rebuke for their wickedness, for their apostasy from the religion of the Old Testament. The late Rabbi Stephen F. Wise, formerly the Chief Rabbi of the United States said, "The return from Babylon and the introduction of the Babylonian Talmud mark the end of Hebrewism and the beginning of Judaism."

The learned Rabbi was correct in distinguishing the true religion of the Old Testament as Hebrewism for it was the religion of the real Hebrews, who were not Jews at all. Judaism, the religion of the Jews, is as the learned Rabbi says, based upon the Babylonian Talmud, which contains the supposed oral law. It was never reduced to writing as part of the Bible. This oral law gradually gained greater force among the Jews than the written law in the Bible, with which it often conflicted in Jesus' day, the Babylonian Talmud was known as the Tradition of the Elders.

This is why Jesus told the Jews: "Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. Howbeit, in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the Commandments of men. For laying aside the commandments of God that ye may keep your own tradition, ye make the Word of God of none effect through your tradition which ye have delivered" (Mark 7:6-13). "Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God" (Matthew 22:29).

"Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! for ye pay tithes of mint, anise and cumin and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy and faith"  (Matthew 23:23).

This was the religion of the Jews. As the learned Rabbi Stephen F. Wise said, Judaism was distinguished from Hebrewism, the real religion of the Old Testament. Certainly Christianity took nothing from any Jewish religion for we have never taken any part of Christianity from the Talmud.

Well then, can it be said we got our Bible or our religion of Christianity from men of the Jewish race? No, it cannot. The Jews are not a race, and Jesus was not a Jew. It can be clearly proven, both out of the historical books of the Bible and out of the only thorough history of the times written by one living when the facts were still well known. Josephus' "Antiquities of the Jews," tells that the Jews were a people distinct and separate from Yahweh's people Israel, although living among them. The Jew were the Canaanite people who lived in Palestine, before Israel entered the Promised Land and who were not driven out. These Canaanite people, and the mixed offspring from intermarriage with the Israelites, were allowed to remain in the land while paying heavy tribute taxes.

The prophets who wrote the books of the Old Testament were all of pure Israelite stock, from one or another of the 12 tribes of Israel. Moses, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Habakkuk, Haggai and Zechariah were of the tribe of Levi. Joshua and Samuel were of the tribe of Ephraim. Isaiah, Daniel and Zephaniah were of the house of David, Jonah was of the tribe of Zebulun. Hosea was of the tribe of Issachar.

When the Assyrians conquered and deported the people of the ten northern tribes, the Bible records that the Assyrians brought other people in from the Assyrian empire and settled them in Samaria, in place of the Israelites they had deported. Samaria is only the southern half of the territory occupied by these ten northern tribes. The northern half was Galilee and this was left vacant. When the kingdom of Judah was later deported to Babylon for their seventy years captivity their land was left with few inhabitants. During their absence the Edomites who were descendants of Esau mixed with Canaanites and Hittites, were forced out of their own land by pressure of invading Arab tribes, and moved westward into the vacant lands of Judah, occupying the southern half of the former kingdom of Judah.

Therefore, when a portion of the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin returned from the Babylonian captivity they were too few in number to evict the warlike Edomites and had to try to squeeze into the very little territory they had left. It was too small for them, so what was left of the tribe of Judah took the little territory remaining around Jerusalem and Benjamin was pushed to the north. They could not move next door into Samaria, as this area was occupied by the peoples settled there by the Assyrians. Benjamin had to leapfrog over them into the vacant territory of Galilee.

That the apostles and the majority of Christian converts came from the Benjaminites should not surprise us. When the kingdom was split in two upon the death of Solomon, God said He would leave Benjamin with Judah so that the house of David should have a light before them. In Jesus' time the people of Benjamin were still the light bearers. In the New Testament all of the apostles were of the tribe of Benjamin except Judas Iscariot, the only Jew among them but he was a Judahite. Judas came from the village of Kerioth in southern Judea. Iscariot is a corruption of Ish Kerioth, man of Kerioth. Paul tells us that he was of the tribe of Benjamin and that the other apostles except Judas Iscariot were from Galilee where the tribe of Benjamin settled after the return from Babylon.

This is confirmed by Jesus. In Matthew 15:24 He said, "I am not sent but unto the sheep of the house of Israel." In John chapter 10 Jesus tells the Jews, "I am the good Shepherd and know My sheep and am known of Mine. But ye believe not because ye are not of My sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear My voice and I know them and they follow Me." From the Savior's own lips we have the proof that the Jews are not of the tribes of Israel. Note carefully that He does not say that their unbelief keeps them from being of His sheep. He says the exact opposite; that the reason why they do not believe is that they are not of His sheep, the house of Israel. Christianity and Judaism are completely and irreconcilably inconsistent. Whichever one is right, the other must be wrong for they mutually repudiate each other. A great part of Jesus' reported Words are His denunciation of the Jews for their religion, which He tells them, is not that of the Old Testament. In John 5:46 Jesus told them, "Had ye believed in Moses, ye would have believed Me: for he wrote of Me." In Luke 16:31 Jesus said, "If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded through one rose from the dead." He was right, He did rise from the dead, but to this day they are not persuaded.

It is therefore clear; we got neither our Bible nor our Christian religion, either in whole or in part from those who were Jews, either by religion or by race. We owe them no debt, for they gave us nothing.

Supplementary Notes

"History of God's Holy Bible and the so-called Jews".

Rabbi Ben Zion Bokser wrote, "This is not an uncommon impression and one finds it sometimes among Jews as well as Christians—that Judaism is the religion of the Hebrew Bible. It is, of course, a fallacious impression. . . Judaism is not the religion of the Bible" (Judaism and the Christian Predicament, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1967, p. 59).

Rabbi Moshe M. Maggal, President, National Jewish Information Service wrote: ". . . you will notice the great difference between the Jewish and Christian religions. But these are not all. We consider the two religions so different that one excludes the other . . . we emphasized that there is no such thing as a Judeo-Christian religion . . . There is not any similarity between the two concepts" (Letter of August 21, 1961).

The London Jewish World of March 15, 1923 declared: "Fundamentally, Judaism is anti-Christian."

Rabbi Martin Siegel: "I am devoting my lecture in this seminar to a discussion of the possibility that we are now entering a Jewish century, a time when the spirit of the community, the non-ideological blend of the emotional and rational and the resistance to categories and forms will emerge through the forces of anti-nationalism to provide us with a new kind of society. I call this process the Judaization of Christianity because Christianity will be the vehicle through which this society becomes Jewish" (New York Magazine, January 18, 1972, p. 32).

Jacob Neusner: It helps to remember that rabbinism's initial catalyst was neither the canonization of the Hebrew Bible nor readerly research of Scripture but the demise of the Second Temple . . ." (Rabbinic Judaism, p. 31-34). nl863.htm
