Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; we are pleased you could join us in fellowship around God's unchanging Word.
Our news items record the 'phony stage' of World War III wherein the so-called 'Allies' of the Empire of the City of London that has ruled England since 1688 by "the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are the Synagogue of Satan," are hoodwinked and blindfolded (Revelation 3:17-20). As with World Wars I and II the actors: belligerent 'Allies' who say they are Christians, and are not, but do lie, and scum constituting their proxy armies who say they are Muslims, and are not, but do lie, have so far failed to provoke and misdirect Syria, Iran, Russia, China and resource rich countries from the path of truth and righteousness whereby the aggressors can ignite the 'hot stage' of the war.
The 'hidden hand' has achieved the invasion of apostate Christendom by deploying inassimilable pawns who will consume and not contribute, divide and conquer by strange customs, languages, dress and morals or lack thereof, and Islam which like Judaism and Judaeo-Catholicism is a political system spawned from the Babylonian Talmud. The pawns will irrevocably destroy by miscegenation "as it was in the days of Noah" (Matthew 24:37). And 'Patsies' on both sides of this pre-planned, controlled asymmetrical warfare will forsake life in ignorant servitude to the Synagogue of Satan whose boast is: "We the destroyers will remain the destroyers forever. NOTHING that you will do will meet our needs and demands. We will forever destroy, because we need a world of our own, a God-world, which it is not in your nature to build" (Genesis 3:15).
On the public record this war was planned almost 150 years ago: thousands of years beforehand according to your Bible. I expect the pawns will be in place for the brief 'hot stage' in fourteen months. Israel and the 'Allies' will lose, but as it was when the Jewish-dominated 'Allies' negotiated an Armistice with Kaiser Wilhelm II then betrayed Germany, Rome will head a federation of world religions and in covenant with Jewish usurers she will restore peace (Revelation 13). Her then Devil-incarnate Pope will be acclaimed President of one world government, and after three and a half years Rome will abrogate her agreement and force her "mark of the beast" leading to Armageddon and the consummation of life.
Our main article "Millennium" describes the creation of man, the Fall caused by Eve's miscegenation with the Serpent; the six thousand years in which man has laboured against sin and God's plan of redemption in the new creation of God-men foreshadowed in the Old Testament and confirmed in Christ on Calvary, the resurrection of the glorified Jesus and the Old Testament saints.
The content of current affairs confirms the end of the Christian dispensation and that the first resurrection, manifestation of the Sons of God and translation are at hand. We discuss these things, the gathering and conversion of the sons of Jacob under the ministry of two Hebrew prophets, their martyrdom and the Millennium.
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.

A World divided by 'Multiculturalism' planned by the 'Hidden Hand'
February 9, 2016 — The Daily Mail's colourful but subjective reporting states "Protesters have clashed with immigration supporters and police forces during planned far-right demonstrations organised by anti-Islam group PEGIDA, cities across Europe and Australia saw thousands take to the streets. The confrontational rallies were held in cities that included Prague, Amsterdam, Dresden, Calais and Canberra . . ."
Planned in the 19th century together with World Wars I and II, World War III is being fomented by the 'hidden hand' using the differences the agentur of the Illuminati stir up between Political Zionists and the leaders of the Moslem world. The war is to be directed in such a manner that Islam (the Arab World including Mohammedanism) and Political Zionism (including the State of Israel) will destroy themselves while at the same time the remaining nations, once more divided against each other on this issue, will be forced to fight themselves into a state of complete exhaustion mentally, physically, spiritually and economically. Can any unbiased and reasoning person deny that the intrigue now going on in the Near, Middle, and Far East is designed to accomplish this devilish purpose?
The Hegelian objective of World Wars I and II was contrived by the 'hidden hand' using the power of the controlled press and their monopoly over international banking and finance to cause Christian nations to destroy one another, paving the way for the Talmudic promise of one world government. World War III has brought political Zionism bringing the Jew-controlled colonies of the City of London, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, etc, and occupied Germany, Israel, Japan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc., against political Islam, to destroy the power of both.

Comment: Enoch Powell foresaw the evil result of alien-imposed 'multiculturalism' (so-called) in his 1968 Rivers of Blood speech. In Matthew 24:37 Jesus Christ prophesied this wickedness just days before His crucifixion. Multiculturalism is the curse of miscegenation engineered by the children of Cain whom God placed "at enmity" with the children of the first and the last Adam. It is a repetition of the 'original sin' recorded in Genesis 2 – 4, and genocide to Adam's race because the offspring of such unions are Cainite and absent the Book of Life. This so grieved the Lord that He destroyed the world in the days of Noah (Genesis 6:1-13); this time it will be by nuclear fire (II Peter 3:1-12).
The Coudenhove-Kalergi European Prize is awarded every two years to Europeans who have excelled in promoting this criminal plan [the genocide of Adam's race by miscegenation "as it was in the days of Noah"]. Among those awarded with such a prize are Angela Merkel and Herman Van Rompuy.

Losing the War, blame Russia
February 9, 2016 — The latest waves of refugees on the Syrian-Turkish border are, we are told, terrified civilians fleeing Russian air strikes. No doubt civilians are caught up in this war. But many of those portrayed as refugees fleeing now from the northern city of Aleppo are actually retreating militants, who are capitulating because of Russian and Syrian military success in terminating their insurgency. As ever distorting reality, the Western news media is transmitting a classic psyop in their coverage of the latest stage in what is actually the foreign-backed war of aggression on Syria. Incredibly, Russia and the Syrian Arab Army are painted as the "bad guys" and in turn this narrative is used to build a pretext for "responsibility to protect"–the faux humanitarian cover to allow for unwarranted foreign intervention.
It should be emphasized that these groups, which can be objectively defined as "terrorists," have been trying to overthrow the elected government of Syria on behalf of foreign powers, including the US, Britain, France and their regional client regimes in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey. German chancellor [Jewess] Angela Merkel was in Turkey this week where she told news reporters that she was "appalled by the humanitarian crisis mainly caused by Russian air strikes" around the northern Syrian city of Aleppo . . .

Rabbi Kogan blessed Meeting Patriarch Kirill and the Pope
February 5, 2016 — The Congress of Jewish Religious Communities and Organizations in Russia attaches great importance to the forthcoming meeting of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill and Pope Francis . . .
Referring to the Judeo-Catholic dialogue, the spokesman [Vice President Rabbi Zinovy Kogan] said that he met with the pope—the late John Paul II, and the current Pope Francis at talks in April 2015 held by president of the Conference of rabbis of Europe, the chief Rabbi of Moscow Pinchas Goldschmidt. "The present Pope encourages dialogue between Jews and Catholics. Recently, he even said that all Catholics are little Jews, given that at the heart of our religious tradition is the Old Testament, that is, Torah," said Rabbi Z. Kogan.
As reported, the Patriarch and the Pope will meet in Cuba on 12 February. The central theme of the meeting will be the persecution of Christians in the Middle East . . . The meeting was preparing for several decades, but the Moscow Patriarchate stressed that it will be possible following the removal of contradictions between the two Churches . . .

Comment: Daniel 9:27—"From the very start John Paul II for whatever reasons has sought after one thing and one thing only. The formation of what now appears to be in his mind, a universal assemblage of Catholics at the core; grouped with them the Protestant denominations, sects and churches; grouped around them believing Jews, believing Muslims, believing Hindus, believing Buddhists. And that would be a universal religious assembly . . ." (Uri Dowbenko, Bushwhacked, p. 213).

Canada sells $15 Billion Weapons to Saudi Sponsor of Terrorism
February 10, 2016 — Amply documented, Saudi Arabia is the state sponsor of Al Qaeda affiliated "opposition groups" in Syria including the Islamic State (ISIS). Riyadh—acting in liaison and on behalf of Washington—plays a central role in the financing of the Islamic State (ISIS) as well as the recruitment, training and religious indoctrination of terrorist mercenary forces deployed in Syria and Iraq . . . Canada is selling weapons to a country which is supporting and sponsoring terrorist organizations. Moreover Saudi Arabia is currently involved in a war of aggression against Yemen in blatant derogation of international law . . . in 2013, as part of its recruitment of terrorists, Saudi Arabia took the initiative of releasing prisoners on death row in Saudi jails . . . prisoners had reportedly been offered a deal—stay and be executed or fight against Assad in Syria. As part of the deal the prisoners were offered a "pardon and a monthly stipend for their families, who were allowed to stay in the Sunni Arab kingdom" . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

United States War Crimes: an Historical Review
February 6, 2016 — The United States has been particularly reluctant to sign treaties addressing the "laws of war" . . . Since World War II the US has bombed twenty-three nations. Author William Blum notes: "It is sobering to reflect that in our era of instant worldwide communications, the United States has, on many occasions, been able to mount a large or small scale military operation or undertake other equally blatant forms of intervention without the American public being aware of it until years later if ever." (This article does not include a review of war crimes committed in Iraq, Syria, Libya and Yemen) . . .
In his book The Grand Chessboard . . . Brzezinski declares that the Central Asian region and the Caspian Sea basin are "known to contain reserves of natural gas and oil that dwarf those of Kuwait, the Gulf of Mexico, or the North Sea." Afghanistan will serve as a base of operations to begin the control over the South Asian Republic in order to build a pipeline through Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan to deliver petroleum to the Asian market. This pipeline will serve as a bonanza of wealth for the US oil companies . . .
An examination of the American conduct of its wars since World War II shows the US to be in violation of the Nuremberg Principles, the 1949 Geneva Convention relating to protection of civilian prisoners of war, the wounded and sick, and the amended Nuremberg Principles as formulated by the International Law Commission in 1950 proscribing war crimes and crimes against humanity. The massive murder and destruction of civilian infrastructure through the use of biological, chemical and depleted uranium weapons violates not only international laws but the moral and humanitarian standards expected in modern civilization . . .

Never in the Cold War had US put its Military Force so close to Russia
February 4, 2016 — The decision to quadruple its military presence in Europe puts the US at its highest risk of a nuclear war with Russia, since the Cuban missile crisis of the early 1960s, as during the entire history of the mutual relationship it has never placed its military forces so close to Russia, according to Professor Stephen F. Cohen . . . it would mean the deployment of a lot of heavy military equipment into these countries near Russia, where the US military is going to create a permanent, fully equipped combat brigade that is going to rotate among these countries . . . [NATO] gave Russia a pledge not to station forces permanently in Eastern Europe. However, there was left one small loophole in the deal: "current and foreseeable security environment" . . . according to Professor Cohen, is NATO testing Russia, provoking it and awaiting a reaction . . .

Israel demolishes Homes and tells Palestinian Owners pay the Costs
February 8, 2016 — Al-Araqeeb is an old Palestinian village in the lands occupied by Israel in 1948. Since then, successive Israeli governments have refused to recognise the village, which means that it is not connected to local public services. It has been knocked down by the Israelis 92 times and the authorities are demanding that the residents pay the costs of the demolitions. An amount of 2 million New Israeli Shekels (around $515,000) is being demanded . . . Residents face the prospect of having to pay much more in respect of the other occasions when the Israelis have destroyed their homes. In addition to Al-Araqeeb, there are 40 other Palestinian villages facing the same fate. Full story: middleeastmonitor.com

CNN Reporter Crisis Actor Barbara Starr shows up again in Burns, Oregon
How many lives does Jewish CNN crisis actor Barbara Starr have? Or maybe we should ask ourselves, how distracted and gullible are we the American people. This leach has been playing so many parts in government psyops it's impossible for her not to be typecast as a mindless NWO scumball. The temerity of CNN and the woman named 'Barbara Starr' is beyond the pale.
He noticed a woman on the RT interview regarding the Oregon standoff. Right away, he noticed her eyes and glasses and knew that he had seen her before. He began going through videos that had crisis actors in them and realized she was at Sandy Hook, Boston Bombing, San Bernardino, and other false flags. "This one lady kept popping up." She has the same monotone voice, same facial features, she drags her s's like a snake at the end. Her eyes are exactly the same. They are always behind the glasses, although she wears different glasses. Connors mentions that her eyes have a very distinctive slant to them. Her two front teeth have a space; her bottom lip protrudes out a bit, with a thinner upper lip. She has aged a bit since Sandy Hook. Full story: themoderngnostic.com tabublog.com

Millennium
Today we will be speaking about Bara, Asah, and Yatsar—no, not Aisha, Khadija and Fatima—three of Mohammed's many favourite wives, but three Hebrew words:
"bara" means to create out of nothing (Genesis 1:1, 21 27).
"asah" means to make or fashion from existing material (Genesis 1:7, 26-26).
"yatsar" means to form, press or squeeze into a pre-ordained design, shape or condition (Genesis 2:7, 19).
Genesis 1:1, 21: "In the beginning God created [(Heb.) 'bara' out of nothing] the heaven and the earth . . . And God created [(Heb.) 'bara' out of nothing] great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good".
Genesis 1:26-28: "God said, Let us make [(Heb.) 'asah'—fashion from existing material] man in our image [a spirit being], after our likeness [or appearance reflecting the Original Theophany Who communed with Adam and Eve in the cool of the evening and allowed Moses to see His back parts but not His face]: let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth. So God created [(Heb.) 'bara'—out of nothing] man in His [own] image [a spirit man like Himself (John 4:24) to lead the beasts as the Holy Spirit leads the believer today].
Although He was not yet made flesh in Jesus, when God put man in flesh He had made the perfection of creation, a reflection of Himself, a man in His own image with a sixth sense. But our flesh is in the image of animals. God was a theophany, and in His great thinking He made man after his "likeness." God means 'an object of worship,' He first created angels to worship Him; then He was God. Jesus said, "See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say to you, that their angels in heaven continually behold the face of My Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 18:10). Our angels or theophanies are God's thoughts for heaven consists of His Word. These "little ones" were "saved" when in God's great thinking the Last Adam was crucified to redeem the first Adam and his seed (Revelation 13:8). But from the age of accountability we are responsible for our deeds so the theophany of an impenitent blotted from the Book of Life becomes a "fallen angel" or demon at death. And unless they are eighty, denominational ministers and those who do not "walk in the Light Jesus is manifesting now are [fallen angels], unregenerate and out of fellowship with Christ and the Sons of God" (II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7).
Jesus explained in John 17:4-6, "I glorified You on the earth: by [veiling your glory (Colossians 2:9) and] finishing the work which You have given Me to do. And now, O Father, You glorify Me with the radiance of glorification I possessed with You before the world was (John 1:1-2, 18; Philippians 2:6-8). I manifested Your Name [as the self-existent One and Saviour (Isaiah 45:21-22; Matthew 1:25)] unto those whom You gave Me out of the world: they are Your [elect], and You gave them unto Me; and they have kept Your Word" (Matthew 24:24; John 10:1-5; I Peter 1:21-25).
"[In His mind] He created man in the image of God; [ALL of Adam's species or race], male and female He created them coequal as also they were in flesh before the fall]. And God blessed them, and told them, be fruitful, and multiply [when you are manifest in flesh to make the decisions that will determine your destiny], and fill the earth, and subdue it [with all its vast resources]: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon earth" (COD, p. 701:Q171).
Genesis 1 describes how God laboured six days [(Heb.) 'yowms' periods of time, a day, a thousand years, or a lifetime], expressing His eternal thoughts in W_O_R_D form. In Genesis 2 heaven was silent for the seventh day which was a holy convocation because the Lord God had finished His "work" speaking "everything that He had made ['asah'—from existing material], and saw that it was very good."
Genesis 2:2-3, 5, 7, 19: "On the seventh day God ended His work which He had made" ['asah'—from existing material]; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had 'asah.' And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He rested from all His work which God created ['bara'—out of nothing] to make" ['asah'—from existing material] . . . [yet for all of His creating and making] there was no vegetation, for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground [and there were no animals] . . . And the Lord God formed [(Heb.) 'yatsar'—squeezed into shape from matter] man's body of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of lives; and man became a living soul" [unlike the animals which were formed subsequently and brought to Adam to name and whose life is purely from nature].
God's Bible eliminates the theory of the evolution of species, aside from which, O foolish man, how can mortal spirits and souls evolve from the ground?"
God had been alone with His thoughts throughout eternity and now the man was by himself, so He struck him on the left side, and from a rib He made him a helpmate, bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh so he would not be lonely, and placed them in a beautiful garden encircled and protected by a wall of His Word. While resting and trusting His children His enemy broke in—marred his masterpiece—and it fell because His Covenant was conditional (Genesis 2:17).
The woman chose wisdom over faith, which is the mark of the beast, and because he loved her, her husband quickly took her back to himself when she should have been burned with her seducer, "for God's Word is forever settled in heaven" (Leviticus 21:9; Psalm 119:89). When Adam took Eve's sin on his own shoulders he forfeited his dominion to Satan who became the god of this evil age.
Miscegenation with the Serpent and his seed is genocide to Adam's race because the physical offspring is Cainite and without redemption, for Jesus Messiah is only KINSMAN Redeemer for Adam's race, He is not the last Cain. Hybridizing God's Word with human reasoning likewise transforms it from "Spirit and eternal Life" into spiritual Serpent's seed and death as in trinitarianism, the Apostles' Creed (so-called) and sprinkling and pouring in three of His many Titles instead of baptism by immersion in His compound redemptive Name, Lord Jesus Christ. Natural and spiritual miscegenation had so perverted God's image and likeness in the days of Noah that "the Lord repented that He had 'asah' man in flesh on the earth; and it grieved Him at His heart" (Genesis 6:6), and He destroyed the world with the Flood.
Following the Fall and the Flood, God wrote an unconditional Covenant with Abraham and his Seed to create a new Man by grace through faith alone; a man who could neither sin nor fall (I John 3:9). He was foreshadowed in Abraham and his seed, but Adam's promised Redeemer would be conceived by God's spoken Word like the first Adam, not sexual desire. And though God displayed faith in Abraham; love by providing a lamb in place of Isaac's life; grace toward Jacob the deceiver, and foreshadowed perfection in Joseph, the disobedient Israelites chose "the commandments of men that make the Word of God on none affect" and murdered Adam's Messiah (Matthew 15:9; Isaiah 53:4-9).
These qualities were also portrayed in four living creatures that guard God's Throne. Four represents God's creative works, and man in his relation to the world as created. God is known by the things that are seen. These cherubim represented the four head tribes that camped around the Tabernacle guarding the way to the Presence, typing the four Gospels that guard the way into His Presence for the baptism with the Holy Spirit reproducing God's own Life and the Acts of the Apostles in saints conceived by the spoken Word for their day under the first Four Seals of Revelation 4:7 and 6:1-8 led by offices of the fivefold ministry "unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ".
On the east the cherub with the face like a lion represented Judah at the head of Issachar and Zebulon; the Gospel of Matthew, the office of apostle, and saints of the Pentecostal, Ephesian, Smyrnean and Pergamean Church Ages new-born under the First Seal.
On the south the cherub with the face like a man represented Reuben leading Gad and Simeon; the Gospel of Luke, the office of teacher, and the saints of the Thyatira Church Age under the Second Seal.
On the west the cherub with the face of an ox represented Ephraim at the head of Manasseh and Benjamin; the Gospel of Mark, the office of pastor, and the saints of the Sardis and Philadelphian Church Ages under the Third Seal.
On the North the cherub with the face of a flying eagle represented Dan at the head of Asher and Naphtali; John's Gospel, the offices of evangelist and prophet, the saints of the Laodicean Church Age, and Christ's end-time Bride.
The foundation was laid by the Patriarchs but the body of God's perfect Man is being built by the vindicated Word of His prophets, not by the curse of the Law. Their head was John the Baptist (Luke 7:28) who introduced the perfect Man, "the beginning of the creation of God" who said, "When you see Me you have seen the Father" (Revelation 3:14; John 14:9).
And from the outset the Lord told His eagle Prophet Brother Branham, "This is not your tabernacle." And he saw the tabernacle as it is today and said, "Where is my tabernacle?" And He set him down under the bright blue sky and He said, "Do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry [in the first and second "pulls"]. For the time will come [at the close of Laodicea] when they will not endure sound doctrine—[the opening of the Word in his third "pull" (Revelation 10:7)], but shall heap for themselves together teachers, having itching ears and shall be turned from the truth to fables".
Read Hebrews 1:3, Colossians 1:15 (I Corinthians 11:7), II Corinthians 4:4, John 1:9, and Ephesians 4:13. Today we are the negative, someday we will return to the positive made in His image, in the likeness of "the Stature of the perfect Man," washed in His Blood, redeemed by His grace
God worked six days of approximately a thousand years (II Peter 3:8) speaking the Word to create an earthly paradise for His children, then He rested and there was silence in heaven. Since Calvary His Church has laboured two thousand years while Christ interceded for their ignorance of the mystery of God veiled under seven Seals. Since the Seals are open and the mysteries of the voices of the seven unknown thunders are revealed His mediation for ignorance is over, and once again there is "silence in heaven." The spoken Word of the unwritten Seventh Seal finished the mystery of the six written Seals. The first Adam was God's spoken Word; the last Adam is the Word Himself and His Bride is begotten by the spoken Word for her day: soon our glorified bodies will be called from the dust or changed in the atoms by His spoken Word.
The Prophet said, "Jesus comes from heaven with ten thousands times ten thousands of His saints, and the Bible said that the heavens was empty for the space of a half hour" (The Sardisean Church Age, p. 348:96; I Thessalonians 4:14-16; Jude 14; Revelation 8:1; 10:1-7). The fullness of the Word is here. The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form. "So is it that Christ is here. The Angels of God are here. And someday in the great millennium to come it'll be just more real than television or anything else, because they are here" (Who is this Melchisedec, p. 12:59).
Since the seventh Church Age ended Christendom should be resting in the holy convocation of this spiritual antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal Feast, but "as it was in the days of Noah" the world has embraced miscegenation under a "strong delusion" called multiculturalism "as it was in the days of Noah." As Israel was to be separated from the nations, the Church is to be separated from the denomi-nations which, having united with one another rather than Christ the Word and are apostate and know it not. While we rest in THUS SAITH THE LORD of the perfect interpretation of the Word with divine vindication our denominational cousins labour to "work out" The Revelation of Jesus Christ.
When man broke fellowship on the seventh day, sin interrupted God's rest and creation was cursed by thorns and thistles, drought, famine, sickness, disease and death. Likewise the seventh Church Age broke fellowship when it rejected the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6 and "God sent a famine and thirst of hearing the Words of the Lord" (Amos 8:11) to those congregations of souls that are imprisoned now and unable to cross the breach into the Door that remains open and leads to our full adoption (I Peter 3:18-20; Revelation 3:15-20; 8:1; 4:1-2). And as it was in the days of Noah the world will be destroyed—this time by atomic fire (Matthew 3:12; 24:37; II Peter 3:5-17).
In the sixth day God 'asah' made man in His image and after His likeness, and on the seventh day "the Lord God 'yatsar' formed Adam of the dust of the ground . . . and out of the ground He 'yatsar' every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was its name".
"Adam was the son of God," His first and only son (Luke 3:38), His heir and a 'junior god?' We were created to be gods under preeminence to the Most High God with dominion over this earth: "I have said, YOU are gods [(Heb.) 'Elohim']; and all of you are children of the Most High" (Psalm 82:6; John 10:34). "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ" (Romans 8:17).
Jesus quoted Psalm 82:6 to rebuke His critics: "Is it not written in your Law, 'I said YOU are gods?' If He called them gods, to whom the Word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken . . ." (John 10:34-35), take deep personal reflection and ask yourself, "Is the Word of God coming to me?" Not first-hand as a prophet, but am I receiving the revelation of God's Word rather than learning the "letter" only? If we are going to change in the atoms by grace through our faith alone then we had better know "who" we are.
If you are receiving the understanding of God's Word, and few people in this world can, then you are receiving "the mind that was also in Christ Jesus. Although He was God, He did not count equality with God as a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men" (Philippians 2:5-7). This is why you have separated from the world and gathered together as part of this "little flock." As Brother Branham said, "the way up is down" (Matthew 23:12).
Matthew 24:37 and Luke 17:28-30 foretold the revelation of the Son of man in the life and ministry of the seventh angel William Branham and the world condition at this time with miscegenation between the races of Adam and Cain, religious hybridization, and homosexuality. And veiled behind his sin-born flesh God revealed "Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). As the Prophet explained, "my gift is to get myself out of the way" and allow God to "discern the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12).
If you are a child of the Most High God receiving the revelation of God's Word you will suffer persecution for the reproach of the Word (II Timothy 3:12).
God never changes His nature, only His form (Hebrews 13:8). The Bible is the story of God unfolding Himself or changing His form from the Holy Spirit alone with His thoughts to the manifestation of those eternal thoughts in the flesh of His glorified Family: "Christ the firstfruits; afterward those that are Christ's at His second or parousia Coming" (I Corinthians 15:23). Once God was lonely, but with YOUR fellowship He will never be lonely anymore. YOU are the veil that hides the Holy Spirit from people in the street just as the veil of the Holy of Holies hid the Shekinah glory from the congregation of Israel. That is "Christ IN you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27). You are the Temple, (Gk.) 'naos' or sanctuary of the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 6:19). God is known by the things that are seen, and all people can see is your conduct, so ensure that the Token of the Life or character of Christ is displayed on the outside whereby they can see that you have been with Jesus and God is on the inside (Acts 4:13).
Not only did Jesus say, "I am the Light," but He said, "YOU are the Light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid" (Matthew 5:14). If His Light is in you bearing record of itself by the Token on display, then you are the Light of the world for this day.
Psalm 139:14-17, "I will praise You; for I have been fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous is Your workmanship; and how well my soul knows it. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, intricately and curiously wrought in the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld my unformed substance, and in Your Book all the days of my life were written, when as yet there was none of them. How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God! How great is the sum of them!"
In His great thinking God saw my glorified form in theophany back in eternity before time and material creation. But God made this hand while He was making the world and He knew how much chalk He would need to colour me as I am, and how much iron, zinc, magnesium and clay He should reserve to make my frame just the right size for my skin.
God's thoughts are eternal and they are real and must come to pass in their designated decreed season. You were made in His foreknowledge way back in eternity, a spirit man or woman, an angel or theophany with the likeness of your glorified appearance—His perfect will foreknown as a redeemed and perfected human being. The elements from which your body is formed were made up when He made the earth because your body is the dust of the earth. Your soul was formed the instant mother gave birth to your body—then God's eternal thoughts were manifest. "God chose His elect in Jesus the Logos before the foundation of the world" (Ephesians 1:4) but aside from the foreknowledge of omniscience there is no pre-existence of souls.
"In very plain language the True Bride of Christ was in the mind of God eternally, though not expressed until each came forth in the designated, decreed season. As each member came forth it became EXPRESSED and took its place in the body. Thus this Bride is the literal SPOKEN WORD SEED BRIDE. And though she is feminine in designation she is also called the "body of Christ." It is very apparent that she ought to be called that for she was predestinated in Him, came from the same source, was eternal with Him, and is now manifesting God in a many membered body whereas once God was manifested in ONE MEMBER, even our Lord Jesus Christ" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 152).
God is not now thinking or even taking counsel with Himself. He will never have a new thought because He is omniscient and all His thoughts He has had from eternity. When time and creation began He expressed the Logos, which Ezekiel called "the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord" that would later manifest the virgin-born flesh of Jesus Messiah. All whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life were in the Logos then because we are God's eternal Attributes. For those with eyes of spiritual seeing the Logos was a yellowish green or amber-coloured Light "in the beginning," while in the natural realm an immense ball of fire manifest, a giant sun wandering through space disgorging fiery matter that would form the planets, stars and galaxies that would find their orbits and establish universal equilibrium.
Genesis 1:27-28, "God created [(Heb.) 'bara'—out of nothing] man in His [own] image [spirit], in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them—[all of Adam's sons and daughters—for in His foreknowledge He knew all of the seed who were potentially in Adam. These constitute "the Book of Life written from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 17:8)]. And God blessed them and said, be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon earth".
After six periods of approximately a thousand years wherein God "worked," speaking His creative Word to prepare earth for His children following "the beginning" which may have been billions of years beforehand, He rested in the seventh and observed His spoken Word manifest the creation He had spoken. In Genesis 2:4-7 we read, "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth, when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up—[until the seventh millennium] for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] no man [formed] to till the ground. But a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground. And the Lord God formed ['Yatsar' or 'squeezed into shape' as a potter fashions a vessel from clay], man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul".
Unlike Adam and the rest of the animal kingdom woman was not formed from the dust of the earth but she was always a part of her Husband. Genesis 5:2-3, "God created them male and female; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were 'bara' created. [We too were named in our Husband, the last Adam; not our individual name but our married Name which is His Name in the Lamb's Book of eternal Life (Ephesians 1:21; 3:15; Revelation 3:12; An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 212; 3:18:1)]. And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth."
Brother Branham explained, "God had done quit creating for years and years and years, until He made the woman out of a rib from his side. Adam had done named all of the creation, everything else. But he wasn't nothing for himself, so He made Him a helpmate: took a rib out of his side as a [(Heb.) 'banah'] continuation of Adam], closed up the gash, and made a helpmate to him. And man in his spirit was both man and woman. And a woman is just a part of a man. And when a man takes to himself a wife, and if she's correctly his wife, a God-given wife, she'll be just to him as part of him" (Serpent's Seed, p. 16:113).
And as sure as Adam and Eve had to be of the same spirit, Christ and His Church have to be of the same Spirit. Hence, "He that believes on Me the works that I do shall he do also; and greater than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father" (John 14:12).
In the Old Testament children were named, often prophetically, by a mother travailing in birth. Names have meanings that influence our life. Hence Abram—"exalted father" was changed to Abraham—"father of nations (Gentiles)"; Saul—"desired" to Paul—"small or little"; and Branam—"the descendant of little Bran (or raven—a large heavily built crow with mainly black plumage, a loud, harsh call, and feeding chiefly on carrion)" to Branham—the Irish form of Abraham, "father of Gentiles." How appropriate! Through our second birth we received a new name that is the Name of our Husband: we are Christians.
Adam means "Man," Eve means "mother of all that is living," yet Adam is NOT the father of all that is living. Cain means "acquired one," Eve's "possession." Genesis 4:1, "I have gotten [gained or acquired] a man from the Lord." Eve remained under the delusion that Satan's perverse wisdom had made her "as God, knowing good and evil," and that by multiplying she had fulfilled His Word and received His child! Some Bibles state: "I have gotten a man, even the Deliverer." Had Eve waited for God to reveal the mystery of reproduction through her husband instead of receiving the hiss of the Serpent her firstborn would have been Jesus Christ, "the beginning of the creation of God." Eve knew that Cain was not Adam's son and called his son's name Abel, which means "vanity, transitory, or nothingness".
It is inconceivable that Satan waited a hundred and thirty years before tempting Eve with his perverted mystery of life, rather she was very much Adam's junior and Seth's conception closely followed the births of Cain and his half-brother Abel, for God's commission was "be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth." Cain was not in Adam's image which continued in Seth, whose name means "compensation" or "appointed." He types Jesus our KINSMAN Redeemer who was appointed to take our place in life, death and resurrection. He declared: "I am the way, the truth, and the Life: no man comes to the Father, but by Me" (John 14:6). Adam and Eve had a large family, so when Cain set out as a vagabond to the land of Nod (wandering) he was accompanied by his half-sister and wife Awan, who was much the same age (Genesis 2:18-23; 5:3; Jubilees 4:9).
Whereas Adam was God's spoken Word and could not be deceived on the revealed Word, Eve was a by-product fashioned from a rib taken out of Adam's side. She was not God's spoken Word and could deceive and be deceived. Aware of this, the Devil-incarnate Serpent seduced and committed adultery with Eve before her husband could know her. The second Eve, the church, committed adultery at the First Nicaea Council and by reasoning against her espoused Husband the Word, organized the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church and her sin is visited on her (once) Protestant daughters to the third and fourth Seals (Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 5:9; Revelation 2:21-24).
Jesus opened the Seven Seals in 1963 which was "the time of the end . . . to finish the mystery of God" by revealing the mysteries of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which are the mysteries contained in the Seven Seals (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:4). It will be these divinely revealed 'mystery truths' that literally turn the hearts of the children to the faith of their apostolic fathers (Malachi 4:5-6). This revelation will call the wise and foolish virgin OUT from Rome and her harlot daughters to maturity in "the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God" and translation to the eternal land of the millennium and the great hereafter (Revelation 18:4; Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19). All life will be killed before the millennium but there will be no death in the millennium (Malachi 4:1-3; Matthew 3:12; Revelation 19:21).
Anything that has a beginning must have an end, so all sin will be annihilated in the body change at the first resurrection and translation. Our bodies will not be conceived by our parents but God will call us out of the dust of the earth as He did Adam at the start, and our helpmate with us. And we will be "just good friends" throughout eternity.
How can we be sure we have a theophany? By not doubting His Word, for it is a W_O_R_D form body. Believe It by faith and you will understand the denominations are in spiritual fornication which is idolatry against their espoused Husband the Word so their converts are illegitimate children not born of His Word. "After you recognize the very Word of God was Eagle Food, then you left the other thing. You've then been formed into the living image of the living God. You heard from your theophany. 'If this earthly body is dissolved, we have one waiting'" (Who is this Melchisedec? p. 17:88).
Mark 10:9, "What God has joined together [by grace through faith in the present Truth], let not man put asunder." God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) and the breach of promise between the Church Ages and the Seals marks the date the church divorced her espoused Husband the Word. As for His end-time Bride, God and the soul that is joined together with God is one Spirit (I Corinthians 6:17), so rest in this assurance.
The 'third pull' was the opening of the Word to reveal the mysteries of the Seven Thunders, which are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals. God's Spoken Word of the unwritten Seventh Seal is the revelation of the previous six written Seals. God told His Prophet: "Do not explain the 'third pull.' It is a revelation." There was no W_O_R_D prophet throughout the Church Ages when the Bible was sealed, and the seven angels and ministers laboured trying to understand its mysteries, but when the Seven Thunders sounded Brother Branham said, "It was a relaxing time." The Work was over, the holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal Feast had begun for "we do have today, by God's help, the perfect interpretation of the Word with divine vindication" (COD, p. 1,005:57). But it is a revelation, so if God is unfolding His Word to your heart, and you can confirm that your understanding is consistent with God's Word from Genesis to Revelation you can rest with that peace that passes understanding.
Israel of the Old Testament was a type of Christ's Bride of the New Testament coming out of the world and marching to the millennium: Moab types the world church system—bastard-born to begin with—the illegitimate son of his father by his own daughter. Like Israel and Moab, Christ's Church and the world system worship the same God and offer the same sacrifices but one is independent and free in the Spirit while the other has organized away from God by identification with human reasoning.
Potentially the millennium starts in the Seventh Trump (Isaiah 18:1-3; 27:12-13; Matthew 24:31) when Revelation 1:7 is fulfilled by the regeneration of the 144,000 and all nations recognize Israel in her homeland, God with her. Then the whole world will be destroyed by atomic power. Israel's Great Trumpet will be her Seventh Trumpet sounded on Tishri 1 by their two witnesses to reveal the history and mystery of the previous Six Trumpets that are all past history and call Israel to her Day of Atonement, her recognition of Christ's second or parousia Coming to Israel, and new birth. So the Great or Seventh Trump, like our Seventh Seal, will be Israel's PROCESS of revelation over more than three and a half years.
Once the 144,000 elect Israelites have been joined to the Lord and martyred, and the beast and the false prophet cast alive into the Lake of Fire, the Lord Jesus will slay the rest of humanity by the Sword of His Word, thereby binding Satan who has only the power sinners yield him, but so long as his subjects are in the grave he is impotent. When the thousand years has expired Satan will be loosed by the general resurrection, so there will be sin after the millennium: he will deceive them once again and when they surround the camp of the saints, fire from God out of heaven will devour them.
Enoch was one man called out from the seventh generation of the first Adam and translated before the Great Flood. He types Christ's end-time Bride called out from Laodicea, the seventh generation from the last Adam. When we possess Enoch's testimony that we please God He will translate us before the Great Tribulation. Noah, who represents the foolish virgin, was carried over the Flood, a type of the coming Great Tribulation. Ham was carried over the judgment with him, showing that sin was in the ark as sin will be among those who are raised in the general resurrection and must be judged.
A convulsion of nature at the close of the Gentile dispensation one Nisan 14 will sink Los Angeles, followed after two days by the commencement of the first resurrection, the manifestation of the Sons of God and our translation to "meet the Lord in the air." After receiving our award for service, announced to our fellows in Christ's Bride of all Ages and to the Old Testament saints we shall partake the Wedding Supper for three and a half years while Israel's two witnesses reconfirm the New Covenant with the Israelites.
After the Church is taken Home Satan will be cast down to earth and incarnate the false prophet or Roman Pope whom Jesus called "the beast," and Paul, "that man of sin . . . the son of perdition; who opposes and exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship, so that he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Don't you remember that when I was still with you I told you this? And you know it is the Presence of the Holy Spirit in His Bride that restrains Satan from revealing Himself at this time. For the mystery of iniquity is already at work, only the Holy Spirit will continue to restrain that man of sin until He leaves earth in the translation of the Bride. Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and bring to an end with the appearance of His parousia" (II Thessalonians 2:3-8).
This will be the Great Tribulation which Jeremiah 30:1-9 calls "the time of Jacob's trouble" wherein the Lord will prove and sift 144,000 elect Israelites. For three and a half years while we are at the Wedding Supper Israel's two witnesses will minister the Seven Trumpet mysteries, then they will be martyred. Following the nuclear annihilation of Vatican City State and the United States in the second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week "all the people of earth will gather together against Judah and Jerusalem . . ." (Zechariah 12:1-10). ["But as they come against the city to destroy it, there will appear in the heavens the sign of the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of Man with His mighty armies to destroy them who have been destroying the earth" (ibid, p. 41)]. "And the Lord will smite every horse with terror and its rider with madness and open His eyes upon the House of Judah." Zechariah 14:13, "And it shall come to pass in the day [of the siege of Jerusalem], that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and everyone shall lay hold on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour." ["With the enemy repulsed, Jesus will come and present Himself [by revelation] to the 144,000. Having seen His mighty acts of salvation, they have come to know His power" and will be gloriously born-again (ibid, p. 41; The Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel's Visit to Daniel, p. 61:81)].
The regeneration of the 144,000 will usher in the millennium.
Brother Branham explained, "Now, Revelations the first three chapters deals with the Church; then the Church disappears; we see it no more until the end time. From Revelations 1 to 3 is the church; Revelation 4 to 19 is Israel a nation; and 19 to 22 is both together, and the plagues and the warnings and so forth at the end: set in three parts. See? (The Revelation of Jesus Christ, p. 13:24).
In The Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel's Visit to Daniel, p. 77:133-136 Brother Branham taught, "After the seventy weeks, the Bride appears in Revelations the 19th chapter, the 1st and the 16th verse. She arrives with her Bridegroom, the mighty King . . . Here's where the Bride will come, after this. See? After the millennium sets in, then Christ comes back with the Bride. Right . . ."
[The Prophet explained: "The Coming of Christ ushers in the millennium . . . when Jesus appears it'll be the returning back . . . the Wedding Supper's over, then He returns back after theJewish Israelite remnant" (The Sardisean Church Age, p. 343:67-68; Revelation Chapter Four, Part I, p. 574:132-187; An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 41; 322:4). "The millennium sets in" or is "ushered in" by the rebirth of 144,000 elect Israelites in one day when they recognize Christ's second or parousia Coming by faith (Zechariah 12:9-14; Revelation 1:7; 11:13; 15-19); this is not the physical return of the glorified Man.
Revelation 19:17-20: The beast and the false prophet are seized and cast into the Lake of Fire burning with brimstone so that for them hell begins in this life. Their denominational followers (Revelation 2:22-24) are killed by the Sword that proceeds from the mouth of Jesus Christ, and the birds are satiated with their flesh.
Revelation 20:1-5 describes the binding of Satan and the millennial Kingdom. Judgment is given to Christ's Bride with special honour accorded those of us who through the two thousand years of tribulation "had been beheaded for their witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God." These martyrs are NOT Christ's end-time Bride and although we will become a hunted and persecuted little group we are predestinated to be changed in the atoms without death.
Fruitful multiplication and filling of earth took place as man laboured against sin and the curse upon earth determining his ultimate destination according to his exercise of free moral agency. Those who fed from the Tree of Life in each of the Gentile dispensations proved themselves Christ's seed with eternal Life by the spoken Word. "God having blessed [and glorified His offspring (Genesis 22:18; Isaiah 53:11; Galatians 3:26-29) in the first resurrection] we shall return with Jesus to "subdue the earth and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth" throughout a thousand years of peace as He intended. nl939.htm
"bara" means to create out of nothing (Genesis 1:1, 21 27).
"asah" means to make or fashion from existing material (Genesis 1:7, 26-26).
"yatsar" means to form, press or squeeze into a pre-ordained design, shape or condition (Genesis 2:7, 19).
Genesis 1:1, 21: "In the beginning God created [(Heb.) 'bara' out of nothing] the heaven and the earth . . . And God created [(Heb.) 'bara' out of nothing] great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good".
Genesis 1:26-28: "God said, Let us make [(Heb.) 'asah'—fashion from existing material] man in our image [a spirit being], after our likeness [or appearance reflecting the Original Theophany Who communed with Adam and Eve in the cool of the evening and allowed Moses to see His back parts but not His face]: let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth. So God created [(Heb.) 'bara'—out of nothing] man in His [own] image [a spirit man like Himself (John 4:24) to lead the beasts as the Holy Spirit leads the believer today].
Although He was not yet made flesh in Jesus, when God put man in flesh He had made the perfection of creation, a reflection of Himself, a man in His own image with a sixth sense. But our flesh is in the image of animals. God was a theophany, and in His great thinking He made man after his "likeness." God means 'an object of worship,' He first created angels to worship Him; then He was God. Jesus said, "See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say to you, that their angels in heaven continually behold the face of My Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 18:10). Our angels or theophanies are God's thoughts for heaven consists of His Word. These "little ones" were "saved" when in God's great thinking the Last Adam was crucified to redeem the first Adam and his seed (Revelation 13:8). But from the age of accountability we are responsible for our deeds so the theophany of an impenitent blotted from the Book of Life becomes a "fallen angel" or demon at death. And unless they are eighty, denominational ministers and those who do not "walk in the Light Jesus is manifesting now are [fallen angels], unregenerate and out of fellowship with Christ and the Sons of God" (II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7).
Jesus explained in John 17:4-6, "I glorified You on the earth: by [veiling your glory (Colossians 2:9) and] finishing the work which You have given Me to do. And now, O Father, You glorify Me with the radiance of glorification I possessed with You before the world was (John 1:1-2, 18; Philippians 2:6-8). I manifested Your Name [as the self-existent One and Saviour (Isaiah 45:21-22; Matthew 1:25)] unto those whom You gave Me out of the world: they are Your [elect], and You gave them unto Me; and they have kept Your Word" (Matthew 24:24; John 10:1-5; I Peter 1:21-25).
"[In His mind] He created man in the image of God; [ALL of Adam's species or race], male and female He created them coequal as also they were in flesh before the fall]. And God blessed them, and told them, be fruitful, and multiply [when you are manifest in flesh to make the decisions that will determine your destiny], and fill the earth, and subdue it [with all its vast resources]: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon earth" (COD, p. 701:Q171).
Genesis 1 describes how God laboured six days [(Heb.) 'yowms' periods of time, a day, a thousand years, or a lifetime], expressing His eternal thoughts in W_O_R_D form. In Genesis 2 heaven was silent for the seventh day which was a holy convocation because the Lord God had finished His "work" speaking "everything that He had made ['asah'—from existing material], and saw that it was very good."
Genesis 2:2-3, 5, 7, 19: "On the seventh day God ended His work which He had made" ['asah'—from existing material]; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had 'asah.' And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He rested from all His work which God created ['bara'—out of nothing] to make" ['asah'—from existing material] . . . [yet for all of His creating and making] there was no vegetation, for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground [and there were no animals] . . . And the Lord God formed [(Heb.) 'yatsar'—squeezed into shape from matter] man's body of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of lives; and man became a living soul" [unlike the animals which were formed subsequently and brought to Adam to name and whose life is purely from nature].
God's Bible eliminates the theory of the evolution of species, aside from which, O foolish man, how can mortal spirits and souls evolve from the ground?"
God had been alone with His thoughts throughout eternity and now the man was by himself, so He struck him on the left side, and from a rib He made him a helpmate, bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh so he would not be lonely, and placed them in a beautiful garden encircled and protected by a wall of His Word. While resting and trusting His children His enemy broke in—marred his masterpiece—and it fell because His Covenant was conditional (Genesis 2:17).
The woman chose wisdom over faith, which is the mark of the beast, and because he loved her, her husband quickly took her back to himself when she should have been burned with her seducer, "for God's Word is forever settled in heaven" (Leviticus 21:9; Psalm 119:89). When Adam took Eve's sin on his own shoulders he forfeited his dominion to Satan who became the god of this evil age.
Miscegenation with the Serpent and his seed is genocide to Adam's race because the physical offspring is Cainite and without redemption, for Jesus Messiah is only KINSMAN Redeemer for Adam's race, He is not the last Cain. Hybridizing God's Word with human reasoning likewise transforms it from "Spirit and eternal Life" into spiritual Serpent's seed and death as in trinitarianism, the Apostles' Creed (so-called) and sprinkling and pouring in three of His many Titles instead of baptism by immersion in His compound redemptive Name, Lord Jesus Christ. Natural and spiritual miscegenation had so perverted God's image and likeness in the days of Noah that "the Lord repented that He had 'asah' man in flesh on the earth; and it grieved Him at His heart" (Genesis 6:6), and He destroyed the world with the Flood.
Following the Fall and the Flood, God wrote an unconditional Covenant with Abraham and his Seed to create a new Man by grace through faith alone; a man who could neither sin nor fall (I John 3:9). He was foreshadowed in Abraham and his seed, but Adam's promised Redeemer would be conceived by God's spoken Word like the first Adam, not sexual desire. And though God displayed faith in Abraham; love by providing a lamb in place of Isaac's life; grace toward Jacob the deceiver, and foreshadowed perfection in Joseph, the disobedient Israelites chose "the commandments of men that make the Word of God on none affect" and murdered Adam's Messiah (Matthew 15:9; Isaiah 53:4-9).
These qualities were also portrayed in four living creatures that guard God's Throne. Four represents God's creative works, and man in his relation to the world as created. God is known by the things that are seen. These cherubim represented the four head tribes that camped around the Tabernacle guarding the way to the Presence, typing the four Gospels that guard the way into His Presence for the baptism with the Holy Spirit reproducing God's own Life and the Acts of the Apostles in saints conceived by the spoken Word for their day under the first Four Seals of Revelation 4:7 and 6:1-8 led by offices of the fivefold ministry "unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ". On the east the cherub with the face like a lion represented Judah at the head of Issachar and Zebulon; the Gospel of Matthew, the office of apostle, and saints of the Pentecostal, Ephesian, Smyrnean and Pergamean Church Ages new-born under the First Seal.
On the south the cherub with the face like a man represented Reuben leading Gad and Simeon; the Gospel of Luke, the office of teacher, and the saints of the Thyatira Church Age under the Second Seal.
On the west the cherub with the face of an ox represented Ephraim at the head of Manasseh and Benjamin; the Gospel of Mark, the office of pastor, and the saints of the Sardis and Philadelphian Church Ages under the Third Seal.
On the North the cherub with the face of a flying eagle represented Dan at the head of Asher and Naphtali; John's Gospel, the offices of evangelist and prophet, the saints of the Laodicean Church Age, and Christ's end-time Bride.
The foundation was laid by the Patriarchs but the body of God's perfect Man is being built by the vindicated Word of His prophets, not by the curse of the Law. Their head was John the Baptist (Luke 7:28) who introduced the perfect Man, "the beginning of the creation of God" who said, "When you see Me you have seen the Father" (Revelation 3:14; John 14:9).
And from the outset the Lord told His eagle Prophet Brother Branham, "This is not your tabernacle." And he saw the tabernacle as it is today and said, "Where is my tabernacle?" And He set him down under the bright blue sky and He said, "Do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry [in the first and second "pulls"]. For the time will come [at the close of Laodicea] when they will not endure sound doctrine—[the opening of the Word in his third "pull" (Revelation 10:7)], but shall heap for themselves together teachers, having itching ears and shall be turned from the truth to fables".
Read Hebrews 1:3, Colossians 1:15 (I Corinthians 11:7), II Corinthians 4:4, John 1:9, and Ephesians 4:13. Today we are the negative, someday we will return to the positive made in His image, in the likeness of "the Stature of the perfect Man," washed in His Blood, redeemed by His grace
God worked six days of approximately a thousand years (II Peter 3:8) speaking the Word to create an earthly paradise for His children, then He rested and there was silence in heaven. Since Calvary His Church has laboured two thousand years while Christ interceded for their ignorance of the mystery of God veiled under seven Seals. Since the Seals are open and the mysteries of the voices of the seven unknown thunders are revealed His mediation for ignorance is over, and once again there is "silence in heaven." The spoken Word of the unwritten Seventh Seal finished the mystery of the six written Seals. The first Adam was God's spoken Word; the last Adam is the Word Himself and His Bride is begotten by the spoken Word for her day: soon our glorified bodies will be called from the dust or changed in the atoms by His spoken Word.
The Prophet said, "Jesus comes from heaven with ten thousands times ten thousands of His saints, and the Bible said that the heavens was empty for the space of a half hour" (The Sardisean Church Age, p. 348:96; I Thessalonians 4:14-16; Jude 14; Revelation 8:1; 10:1-7). The fullness of the Word is here. The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form. "So is it that Christ is here. The Angels of God are here. And someday in the great millennium to come it'll be just more real than television or anything else, because they are here" (Who is this Melchisedec, p. 12:59).
Since the seventh Church Age ended Christendom should be resting in the holy convocation of this spiritual antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal Feast, but "as it was in the days of Noah" the world has embraced miscegenation under a "strong delusion" called multiculturalism "as it was in the days of Noah." As Israel was to be separated from the nations, the Church is to be separated from the denomi-nations which, having united with one another rather than Christ the Word and are apostate and know it not. While we rest in THUS SAITH THE LORD of the perfect interpretation of the Word with divine vindication our denominational cousins labour to "work out" The Revelation of Jesus Christ.
When man broke fellowship on the seventh day, sin interrupted God's rest and creation was cursed by thorns and thistles, drought, famine, sickness, disease and death. Likewise the seventh Church Age broke fellowship when it rejected the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6 and "God sent a famine and thirst of hearing the Words of the Lord" (Amos 8:11) to those congregations of souls that are imprisoned now and unable to cross the breach into the Door that remains open and leads to our full adoption (I Peter 3:18-20; Revelation 3:15-20; 8:1; 4:1-2). And as it was in the days of Noah the world will be destroyed—this time by atomic fire (Matthew 3:12; 24:37; II Peter 3:5-17). In the sixth day God 'asah' made man in His image and after His likeness, and on the seventh day "the Lord God 'yatsar' formed Adam of the dust of the ground . . . and out of the ground He 'yatsar' every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was its name".
"Adam was the son of God," His first and only son (Luke 3:38), His heir and a 'junior god?' We were created to be gods under preeminence to the Most High God with dominion over this earth: "I have said, YOU are gods [(Heb.) 'Elohim']; and all of you are children of the Most High" (Psalm 82:6; John 10:34). "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ" (Romans 8:17).
Jesus quoted Psalm 82:6 to rebuke His critics: "Is it not written in your Law, 'I said YOU are gods?' If He called them gods, to whom the Word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken . . ." (John 10:34-35), take deep personal reflection and ask yourself, "Is the Word of God coming to me?" Not first-hand as a prophet, but am I receiving the revelation of God's Word rather than learning the "letter" only? If we are going to change in the atoms by grace through our faith alone then we had better know "who" we are.
If you are receiving the understanding of God's Word, and few people in this world can, then you are receiving "the mind that was also in Christ Jesus. Although He was God, He did not count equality with God as a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men" (Philippians 2:5-7). This is why you have separated from the world and gathered together as part of this "little flock." As Brother Branham said, "the way up is down" (Matthew 23:12).
Matthew 24:37 and Luke 17:28-30 foretold the revelation of the Son of man in the life and ministry of the seventh angel William Branham and the world condition at this time with miscegenation between the races of Adam and Cain, religious hybridization, and homosexuality. And veiled behind his sin-born flesh God revealed "Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). As the Prophet explained, "my gift is to get myself out of the way" and allow God to "discern the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12).
If you are a child of the Most High God receiving the revelation of God's Word you will suffer persecution for the reproach of the Word (II Timothy 3:12).
God never changes His nature, only His form (Hebrews 13:8). The Bible is the story of God unfolding Himself or changing His form from the Holy Spirit alone with His thoughts to the manifestation of those eternal thoughts in the flesh of His glorified Family: "Christ the firstfruits; afterward those that are Christ's at His second or parousia Coming" (I Corinthians 15:23). Once God was lonely, but with YOUR fellowship He will never be lonely anymore. YOU are the veil that hides the Holy Spirit from people in the street just as the veil of the Holy of Holies hid the Shekinah glory from the congregation of Israel. That is "Christ IN you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27). You are the Temple, (Gk.) 'naos' or sanctuary of the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 6:19). God is known by the things that are seen, and all people can see is your conduct, so ensure that the Token of the Life or character of Christ is displayed on the outside whereby they can see that you have been with Jesus and God is on the inside (Acts 4:13).
Not only did Jesus say, "I am the Light," but He said, "YOU are the Light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid" (Matthew 5:14). If His Light is in you bearing record of itself by the Token on display, then you are the Light of the world for this day.
Psalm 139:14-17, "I will praise You; for I have been fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous is Your workmanship; and how well my soul knows it. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, intricately and curiously wrought in the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld my unformed substance, and in Your Book all the days of my life were written, when as yet there was none of them. How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God! How great is the sum of them!"
In His great thinking God saw my glorified form in theophany back in eternity before time and material creation. But God made this hand while He was making the world and He knew how much chalk He would need to colour me as I am, and how much iron, zinc, magnesium and clay He should reserve to make my frame just the right size for my skin.
God's thoughts are eternal and they are real and must come to pass in their designated decreed season. You were made in His foreknowledge way back in eternity, a spirit man or woman, an angel or theophany with the likeness of your glorified appearance—His perfect will foreknown as a redeemed and perfected human being. The elements from which your body is formed were made up when He made the earth because your body is the dust of the earth. Your soul was formed the instant mother gave birth to your body—then God's eternal thoughts were manifest. "God chose His elect in Jesus the Logos before the foundation of the world" (Ephesians 1:4) but aside from the foreknowledge of omniscience there is no pre-existence of souls.
"In very plain language the True Bride of Christ was in the mind of God eternally, though not expressed until each came forth in the designated, decreed season. As each member came forth it became EXPRESSED and took its place in the body. Thus this Bride is the literal SPOKEN WORD SEED BRIDE. And though she is feminine in designation she is also called the "body of Christ." It is very apparent that she ought to be called that for she was predestinated in Him, came from the same source, was eternal with Him, and is now manifesting God in a many membered body whereas once God was manifested in ONE MEMBER, even our Lord Jesus Christ" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 152).
God is not now thinking or even taking counsel with Himself. He will never have a new thought because He is omniscient and all His thoughts He has had from eternity. When time and creation began He expressed the Logos, which Ezekiel called "the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord" that would later manifest the virgin-born flesh of Jesus Messiah. All whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life were in the Logos then because we are God's eternal Attributes. For those with eyes of spiritual seeing the Logos was a yellowish green or amber-coloured Light "in the beginning," while in the natural realm an immense ball of fire manifest, a giant sun wandering through space disgorging fiery matter that would form the planets, stars and galaxies that would find their orbits and establish universal equilibrium.
Genesis 1:27-28, "God created [(Heb.) 'bara'—out of nothing] man in His [own] image [spirit], in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them—[all of Adam's sons and daughters—for in His foreknowledge He knew all of the seed who were potentially in Adam. These constitute "the Book of Life written from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 17:8)]. And God blessed them and said, be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon earth".
After six periods of approximately a thousand years wherein God "worked," speaking His creative Word to prepare earth for His children following "the beginning" which may have been billions of years beforehand, He rested in the seventh and observed His spoken Word manifest the creation He had spoken. In Genesis 2:4-7 we read, "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth, when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up—[until the seventh millennium] for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] no man [formed] to till the ground. But a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground. And the Lord God formed ['Yatsar' or 'squeezed into shape' as a potter fashions a vessel from clay], man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul". Unlike Adam and the rest of the animal kingdom woman was not formed from the dust of the earth but she was always a part of her Husband. Genesis 5:2-3, "God created them male and female; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were 'bara' created. [We too were named in our Husband, the last Adam; not our individual name but our married Name which is His Name in the Lamb's Book of eternal Life (Ephesians 1:21; 3:15; Revelation 3:12; An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 212; 3:18:1)]. And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth."
Brother Branham explained, "God had done quit creating for years and years and years, until He made the woman out of a rib from his side. Adam had done named all of the creation, everything else. But he wasn't nothing for himself, so He made Him a helpmate: took a rib out of his side as a [(Heb.) 'banah'] continuation of Adam], closed up the gash, and made a helpmate to him. And man in his spirit was both man and woman. And a woman is just a part of a man. And when a man takes to himself a wife, and if she's correctly his wife, a God-given wife, she'll be just to him as part of him" (Serpent's Seed, p. 16:113).
And as sure as Adam and Eve had to be of the same spirit, Christ and His Church have to be of the same Spirit. Hence, "He that believes on Me the works that I do shall he do also; and greater than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father" (John 14:12).
In the Old Testament children were named, often prophetically, by a mother travailing in birth. Names have meanings that influence our life. Hence Abram—"exalted father" was changed to Abraham—"father of nations (Gentiles)"; Saul—"desired" to Paul—"small or little"; and Branam—"the descendant of little Bran (or raven—a large heavily built crow with mainly black plumage, a loud, harsh call, and feeding chiefly on carrion)" to Branham—the Irish form of Abraham, "father of Gentiles." How appropriate! Through our second birth we received a new name that is the Name of our Husband: we are Christians.
Adam means "Man," Eve means "mother of all that is living," yet Adam is NOT the father of all that is living. Cain means "acquired one," Eve's "possession." Genesis 4:1, "I have gotten [gained or acquired] a man from the Lord." Eve remained under the delusion that Satan's perverse wisdom had made her "as God, knowing good and evil," and that by multiplying she had fulfilled His Word and received His child! Some Bibles state: "I have gotten a man, even the Deliverer." Had Eve waited for God to reveal the mystery of reproduction through her husband instead of receiving the hiss of the Serpent her firstborn would have been Jesus Christ, "the beginning of the creation of God." Eve knew that Cain was not Adam's son and called his son's name Abel, which means "vanity, transitory, or nothingness". It is inconceivable that Satan waited a hundred and thirty years before tempting Eve with his perverted mystery of life, rather she was very much Adam's junior and Seth's conception closely followed the births of Cain and his half-brother Abel, for God's commission was "be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth." Cain was not in Adam's image which continued in Seth, whose name means "compensation" or "appointed." He types Jesus our KINSMAN Redeemer who was appointed to take our place in life, death and resurrection. He declared: "I am the way, the truth, and the Life: no man comes to the Father, but by Me" (John 14:6). Adam and Eve had a large family, so when Cain set out as a vagabond to the land of Nod (wandering) he was accompanied by his half-sister and wife Awan, who was much the same age (Genesis 2:18-23; 5:3; Jubilees 4:9).
Whereas Adam was God's spoken Word and could not be deceived on the revealed Word, Eve was a by-product fashioned from a rib taken out of Adam's side. She was not God's spoken Word and could deceive and be deceived. Aware of this, the Devil-incarnate Serpent seduced and committed adultery with Eve before her husband could know her. The second Eve, the church, committed adultery at the First Nicaea Council and by reasoning against her espoused Husband the Word, organized the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church and her sin is visited on her (once) Protestant daughters to the third and fourth Seals (Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 5:9; Revelation 2:21-24).
Jesus opened the Seven Seals in 1963 which was "the time of the end . . . to finish the mystery of God" by revealing the mysteries of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which are the mysteries contained in the Seven Seals (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:4). It will be these divinely revealed 'mystery truths' that literally turn the hearts of the children to the faith of their apostolic fathers (Malachi 4:5-6). This revelation will call the wise and foolish virgin OUT from Rome and her harlot daughters to maturity in "the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God" and translation to the eternal land of the millennium and the great hereafter (Revelation 18:4; Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19). All life will be killed before the millennium but there will be no death in the millennium (Malachi 4:1-3; Matthew 3:12; Revelation 19:21).
Anything that has a beginning must have an end, so all sin will be annihilated in the body change at the first resurrection and translation. Our bodies will not be conceived by our parents but God will call us out of the dust of the earth as He did Adam at the start, and our helpmate with us. And we will be "just good friends" throughout eternity.
How can we be sure we have a theophany? By not doubting His Word, for it is a W_O_R_D form body. Believe It by faith and you will understand the denominations are in spiritual fornication which is idolatry against their espoused Husband the Word so their converts are illegitimate children not born of His Word. "After you recognize the very Word of God was Eagle Food, then you left the other thing. You've then been formed into the living image of the living God. You heard from your theophany. 'If this earthly body is dissolved, we have one waiting'" (Who is this Melchisedec? p. 17:88).
Mark 10:9, "What God has joined together [by grace through faith in the present Truth], let not man put asunder." God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) and the breach of promise between the Church Ages and the Seals marks the date the church divorced her espoused Husband the Word. As for His end-time Bride, God and the soul that is joined together with God is one Spirit (I Corinthians 6:17), so rest in this assurance.
The 'third pull' was the opening of the Word to reveal the mysteries of the Seven Thunders, which are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals. God's Spoken Word of the unwritten Seventh Seal is the revelation of the previous six written Seals. God told His Prophet: "Do not explain the 'third pull.' It is a revelation." There was no W_O_R_D prophet throughout the Church Ages when the Bible was sealed, and the seven angels and ministers laboured trying to understand its mysteries, but when the Seven Thunders sounded Brother Branham said, "It was a relaxing time." The Work was over, the holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal Feast had begun for "we do have today, by God's help, the perfect interpretation of the Word with divine vindication" (COD, p. 1,005:57). But it is a revelation, so if God is unfolding His Word to your heart, and you can confirm that your understanding is consistent with God's Word from Genesis to Revelation you can rest with that peace that passes understanding.
Israel of the Old Testament was a type of Christ's Bride of the New Testament coming out of the world and marching to the millennium: Moab types the world church system—bastard-born to begin with—the illegitimate son of his father by his own daughter. Like Israel and Moab, Christ's Church and the world system worship the same God and offer the same sacrifices but one is independent and free in the Spirit while the other has organized away from God by identification with human reasoning.
Potentially the millennium starts in the Seventh Trump (Isaiah 18:1-3; 27:12-13; Matthew 24:31) when Revelation 1:7 is fulfilled by the regeneration of the 144,000 and all nations recognize Israel in her homeland, God with her. Then the whole world will be destroyed by atomic power. Israel's Great Trumpet will be her Seventh Trumpet sounded on Tishri 1 by their two witnesses to reveal the history and mystery of the previous Six Trumpets that are all past history and call Israel to her Day of Atonement, her recognition of Christ's second or parousia Coming to Israel, and new birth. So the Great or Seventh Trump, like our Seventh Seal, will be Israel's PROCESS of revelation over more than three and a half years.
Once the 144,000 elect Israelites have been joined to the Lord and martyred, and the beast and the false prophet cast alive into the Lake of Fire, the Lord Jesus will slay the rest of humanity by the Sword of His Word, thereby binding Satan who has only the power sinners yield him, but so long as his subjects are in the grave he is impotent. When the thousand years has expired Satan will be loosed by the general resurrection, so there will be sin after the millennium: he will deceive them once again and when they surround the camp of the saints, fire from God out of heaven will devour them.
Enoch was one man called out from the seventh generation of the first Adam and translated before the Great Flood. He types Christ's end-time Bride called out from Laodicea, the seventh generation from the last Adam. When we possess Enoch's testimony that we please God He will translate us before the Great Tribulation. Noah, who represents the foolish virgin, was carried over the Flood, a type of the coming Great Tribulation. Ham was carried over the judgment with him, showing that sin was in the ark as sin will be among those who are raised in the general resurrection and must be judged.
A convulsion of nature at the close of the Gentile dispensation one Nisan 14 will sink Los Angeles, followed after two days by the commencement of the first resurrection, the manifestation of the Sons of God and our translation to "meet the Lord in the air." After receiving our award for service, announced to our fellows in Christ's Bride of all Ages and to the Old Testament saints we shall partake the Wedding Supper for three and a half years while Israel's two witnesses reconfirm the New Covenant with the Israelites.
After the Church is taken Home Satan will be cast down to earth and incarnate the false prophet or Roman Pope whom Jesus called "the beast," and Paul, "that man of sin . . . the son of perdition; who opposes and exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship, so that he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Don't you remember that when I was still with you I told you this? And you know it is the Presence of the Holy Spirit in His Bride that restrains Satan from revealing Himself at this time. For the mystery of iniquity is already at work, only the Holy Spirit will continue to restrain that man of sin until He leaves earth in the translation of the Bride. Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and bring to an end with the appearance of His parousia" (II Thessalonians 2:3-8).
This will be the Great Tribulation which Jeremiah 30:1-9 calls "the time of Jacob's trouble" wherein the Lord will prove and sift 144,000 elect Israelites. For three and a half years while we are at the Wedding Supper Israel's two witnesses will minister the Seven Trumpet mysteries, then they will be martyred. Following the nuclear annihilation of Vatican City State and the United States in the second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week "all the people of earth will gather together against Judah and Jerusalem . . ." (Zechariah 12:1-10). ["But as they come against the city to destroy it, there will appear in the heavens the sign of the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of Man with His mighty armies to destroy them who have been destroying the earth" (ibid, p. 41)]. "And the Lord will smite every horse with terror and its rider with madness and open His eyes upon the House of Judah." Zechariah 14:13, "And it shall come to pass in the day [of the siege of Jerusalem], that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and everyone shall lay hold on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour." ["With the enemy repulsed, Jesus will come and present Himself [by revelation] to the 144,000. Having seen His mighty acts of salvation, they have come to know His power" and will be gloriously born-again (ibid, p. 41; The Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel's Visit to Daniel, p. 61:81)].
The regeneration of the 144,000 will usher in the millennium.
Brother Branham explained, "Now, Revelations the first three chapters deals with the Church; then the Church disappears; we see it no more until the end time. From Revelations 1 to 3 is the church; Revelation 4 to 19 is Israel a nation; and 19 to 22 is both together, and the plagues and the warnings and so forth at the end: set in three parts. See? (The Revelation of Jesus Christ, p. 13:24).
In The Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel's Visit to Daniel, p. 77:133-136 Brother Branham taught, "After the seventy weeks, the Bride appears in Revelations the 19th chapter, the 1st and the 16th verse. She arrives with her Bridegroom, the mighty King . . . Here's where the Bride will come, after this. See? After the millennium sets in, then Christ comes back with the Bride. Right . . ."

Fruitful multiplication and filling of earth took place as man laboured against sin and the curse upon earth determining his ultimate destination according to his exercise of free moral agency. Those who fed from the Tree of Life in each of the Gentile dispensations proved themselves Christ's seed with eternal Life by the spoken Word. "God having blessed [and glorified His offspring (Genesis 22:18; Isaiah 53:11; Galatians 3:26-29) in the first resurrection] we shall return with Jesus to "subdue the earth and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth" throughout a thousand years of peace as He intended. nl939.htm
