Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, it is always good to have your company.
Please pay particular attention to our news articles and our commentaries which will help you to understand Revelation 13 and the future prospects of the United States and the world church system unfolding Bible prophecy in real time.
I caught Mr. Obama raving like a madman on the ABC's fifth column radio with threats that if Hillary Clinton is not elected his work as president will come to naught. Obama's work will have an enduring legacy of irretrievable damage to humanity and morality worldwide; American citizens, Jewry, Christians and illegal immigrants will remember him for HR 645 and HR 1540. Mr. Obama, or whoever he really is, has a legacy that will not be forgotten. Perhaps he is concerned that if Killary is not elected she will play her "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE" card expose him as the alien patsy and non-president he really is.
November 8 will be a day to remember. If Joe Brandt's 1937 spiritual dreams are "of the Lord" we can expect the POTUS next April will be a man "bigger, heavier [than FDR and with], big ears." Obama has big ears and is half an inch taller than FDR but skinny as a rake. FDR said, "If something happens in politics you can bet it was planned way;" perhaps this situation was designed to lead to the suspension of Constitutional government under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) HR 1540, signed into law by president Obama on December 31, 2011: FEMA internment camps are part of the Continuity of Government preparations.
Contributing author Jonathan Gray asks, "Can anyone see your Past?" in his brief article on dimensions while we continue our study on the Book of Malachi with our focus on "the present Truth".
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.

Al Qaeda will Vote for Hillary on November 8
November 4, 2016 — Truth and satire: 12 reasons why al Qaeda supports Hillary Clinton. Al Qaeda is a fan of the Clintons who have supported them for more than twenty years. And before that, Brzezinski and Kissinger supported them. "We're voting for you, Hillary, on November 8. We'll cast our absentee ballots from more than twenty countries where the CIA is helping us."
Al Qaeda rebels, ISIS-Daesh, are unbending supporters of Hillary, because when she becomes President of the United States, "she'll continue to support us, give us money and weapons . . ."
"We're not terrorists, we're the "Moderate Good Guys". We're supported by Hillary Clinton, and Hillary is not a terrorist."
"If she were a terrorist, we wouldn't vote for her . . ." Full story: globalresearch.ca
Comment: The war against the abstract noun terrorism is the work of the United States government under Bush I and II, Bill and Killary, the Neocons, Obama, CIA, FBI, the Vatican and City of London. Its objective is to manipulate unthinking self-righteous religious people who have "a form of godliness but deny the power thereof" to unite church and state, grant global hegemony to Satan incarnate in the world's most trusted man, and kill infidels for Krist. Remember Project MKUltra?
Revelation 13 teaches those who refuse the "mark of the beast" will be killed by so-called 'Christians' who own the mark as United States' mercenaries are now killing Goyim who reject Allah. US and NATO troops are being psychologically groomed and blooded for this task. The content of this link is extremely graphic.

E-mails – Hillary Clinton & the Muslim Brotherhood
November 1, 2016 — The FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's private e-mails is not directed at a case of negligence in the face of security regulations, but at a conspiracy attempting to eliminate any trace of her correspondence which should have been archived on the servers of the Federal State. It could include exchanges about illegal financing or corruption, and others concerning the links between the Clintons, the Muslim Brotherhood and the jihadists.
The reprise of the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton's private e-mails no longer concerns questions of security, but rather acts of skulduggery and cheating which could be as serious as high treason . . . Full story: voltairenet.org

Waning Mainstream Media Support for Hillary Clinton
October 31, 2016 — Without mainstream media propaganda, Hillary's political legitimacy would collapse like a deck of cards. The Second Letter by FBI Director James Comey opens up a "Pandora's Box" of fraud and corruption . . . With some exceptions the MSM continues to support Hillary candidacy, without applause.
FBI director James Comey's announcement about the renewed [Jewess] Clinton email investigation is the bombshell in the presidential campaign. That he announced this so close to Election Day should tell every thinking person that what the FBI is looking at is extremely serious . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca globalresearch.ca
Comment: Paul Craig Roberts said he's gotten word: "that the FBI has reopened the Hillary case of her violation of US National Security protocols, not because of the content of the new email releases, but because voter support for Trump seems to be overwhelming, while Hillary has cancelled appearances due to inability to muster a crowd. The popular vote leaves the FBI far out on the limb for its corrupt clearance of Hillary. The agency now has to redeem itself."
Adeyinka Makinde wrote: Notwithstanding Trump's conciliatory approach towards Russia, the war agenda, which has markedly contributed to the national debt, will continue regardless of who is elected in November. The Turkish invasion and increased American activity in parts of Syria have been designed to effectively partition the country and keep the conflict going . . . Any appointments made by Trump would have to be approved by the lobby-controlled Congress and he would have to rely on many civil servants in the mould of [Jewess] Victoria Nuland.
The present election campaign has brought into sharp focus the subversion of the democratic process in the interests of those who make major contributions to aspirants for political office. It demonstrates how the party political system, a [Hegelian] duopoly of Democrat and Republican parties, both beholden to Wall Street interests . . .
Neither candidate has specifically advocated a concrete course of action that would negate the effect of the Supreme Court decision in the case of Citizens United of 2010 which allowed unlimited money in the electoral process, including that of a constitutional amendment. Although Trump once mentioned that the Federal Reserve should be audited, neither he nor Clinton have made any proposals . . . Americans need to wise up on the fact that they are being played by a ruthless system (adeyinkamakinde.blogspot.com
James Corbett stated: We can be assured that these threats of potential nuclear world war by Clinton are not idle threats Killary is a liar, a war monger, war criminal, it is no hyperbole to say that the election of Killary Clinton as president of the United States would be one of the greatest tragedies for the United States, and perhaps the world. youtube.com

Real Reasons why FBI Director Comey reopened Hillary Email Investigation
October 30, 2016 — This year's unending batches of Wiki-leaked DNC/Hillary emails and Project Veritas undercover campaign videos confirm that the entire US political as well as economic system is morally and financially bankrupt, irreparably broken and in need of complete overhaul. Voter fraud and election fraud are rampant. Soros funded electronic voting machines that are pre-programmed to vote for Hillary are operating in 16 key battleground states. America's internal house now is in total disarray, badly in need of a deep cleaning purge like never before.
Mainstream media is strongly biased against Trump in its blind support for Hillary. As Secretary of State she sold out our nation, placing us all on high security risk and under foreign interest control at the hands of high rolling bidders so she and her fat cats get richer as fellow [Jewish] partners-in-crime from places like Saudi Arabia and Israel, destroying our once sovereign country while aiding, abetting, financing and supporting the global terrorists around the world.
She helped create ISIS and plans world war against Russia, China and Iran.
The traitors in our government and their globalist puppet masters – the [Jewish] Rothschilds, Rockefellers, the Bushes and Clintons all need to be rounded up, imprisoned and tried at The Hague for both treason and their endless crimes against humanity . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Criminal Aliens released by the Department of Homeland Security
April 28, 2016 — As ICE's Director, Sarah R. Saldaña leads the largest investigative agency within the US Department of Homeland Security. Created in 2003, ICE has a budget of approximately $6 billion and has nearly 20,000 employees in 400 offices in all 50 states and 48 countries. This illustrates why Trump's platform about illegal immigration is resonating with so many Americans. Full story: youtube.com (four minutes). youtube.com (five minutes).

Legacy of George W. Bush: 10m Refugees & 250,000 Deaths over Past 5 Years
February 5, 2016 — Many believe that the root cause of the current forced mass movement of people and the loss of life that it has entailed, can be traced back to the fraudulent Middle East wars that destabilised the region; orchestrated by an incompetent US president, G.W. Bush and his British cohort, Tony Blair. Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan have, to date, borne the brunt of this human tide of refugees but the whole of Europe is now having to deal with the severe financial and political impact upon social housing, medical and educational services—and, of course, jobs.
The individual responsible for this biblical-scale migration is the now 70 year old former baseball team owner, ex-president G.W. Bush who took America to two disastrously failed wars against Afghanistan and Iraq. His presidency has been ranked amongst the worst in US history. This is a man who had difficulty speaking English: who had no known personal assets but was elected to high office by an accident of history and thereby changed the world irrevocably for the worse. Millions have died as a consequence of the actions of this one single American cowboy who still personifies the banality of US politics at its worst.
Meanwhile, nearly a third of the world is embroiled in increasing conflict as we reap still the whirlwind of the actions of this caricature of a US Republican statesman . . . the world might yet have to endure another one (globalresearch.ca).

Path to Total Dictatorship: America's Shadow Government & its Silent Coup
October 24, 2016 — "Today the path to total dictatorship in the US can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by Congress, the President, or the people. Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system—a well-organized political-action group determined to destroy our Constitution and establish a one-party state . . . The important point about this group is not its ideology but its organization . . . It operates secretly, silently, continuously to transform our Government . . . This group . . . is answerable neither to the President, the Congress, nor the courts. It is practically irremovable"—Senator William Jenner, 1954.
Unaffected by elections. Unaltered by populist movements. Beyond the reach of the law . . . A corporatized, militarized, entrenched bureaucracy that is fully operational and staffed by unelected officials who are, in essence, running the country, this shadow government represents the hidden face of a government that has no respect for the freedom of its citizenry.
No matter which candidate wins the presidential election, this shadow government is here to stay . . . may well have played a part in who will win the White House this year . . . however, the future president will actually inherit not one but two shadow governments.
The first shadow government, referred to as COG or Continuity of Government, is made up of unelected individuals who have been appointed to run the government in the event of a "catastrophe." COG is a phantom menace waiting for the right circumstances—a terrorist attack, a natural disaster, an economic meltdown—to bring it out of the shadows, where it operates even now. When and if COG takes over, the police state will transition to martial law.
Yet it is the second shadow government—also referred to as the Deep State—that poses the greater threat to freedom right now. Comprised of unelected government bureaucrats, corporations, contractors, paper-pushers, and button-pushers who are actually calling the shots behind the scenes, this government within a government . . . The Deep State, which "operates according to its own compass heading regardless of who is formally in power," makes a mockery of elections and the entire concept of a representative government . . .

Syria's War for Humanity
November 2016 — Everybody in Syria knows that Washington is behind the terrorists, that they are financed by the US (tax payers) and its allies, trained and recruited by America's Middle East partner. [Jewish-ruled] Saudi Arabia, Qatar, have been financing and training the ISIS-Daesh, al Nusra terrorists on behalf of the [Jewish-ruled] United States. [Jewish-ruled] Israel is harbouring the terrorists out of the occupied Golan Heights; NATO in liaison with the [Jewish-ruled] Turkish high command has since March 2011 been involved in coordinating the recruitment of the jihadist fighters dispatched to Syria. Moreover, the ISIS-Daesh brigades in both Syria and Iraq are integrated by Western Special Forces and military advisers.
While all this is known to the Syrian people, Western public opinion is led to believe that the US is leading a "counter-terrorism campaign" in Syria and Iraq against the Islamic State (ISIS-Daesh), an entity created and supported by US intelligence . . .
"Syria was prosperous, with a growing economy. It had food sovereignty, with a "strategic" stock of millions of tons of high quality wheat, not the "Franken-food" bio-tech variety; it had a strong central bank with no usurious IMF loans; it had a popular, reformer President; it had a mostly well-educated, secular, pluralist, forward-looking population; and it was the fourth safest country in the world" . . .

The Role of the US & Nato in EU Relations with China
October 28, 2016 — [Introducing the "image unto the beast" - Ed]. I do not think it possible to speak of relations between the EU and China independently of the influence the United States wields over the EU directly and [indirectly], through Nato.
Today 22 of the 28 (27 once Great Britain has left the EU), EU member states with more than 90% of the EU population, are members of Nato, recognized as the "foundation for collective defence." And Nato is under US command: the US Supreme Allied Command in Europe is always appointed by the US President and all the other key commands are in the US's hands. Accordingly, the EU's foreign and military policy is fundamentally subordinated to the US strategy to which the major European powers have aligned themselves.
Such a strategy, clearly announced in official documents, is sketched out at that moment in history when, following the dissolution of the USSR, the world situation changes. In 1991, the White House declares in the National Security Strategy of the United States:
"The United States remains the only State with the force, capability and influence in every dimension—political, economic and military—that is effectively global. Nothing can substitute for US leadership".
In 1992, in the Defense Planning Guidance, the Pentagon emphasizes: "Our primary objective is to prevent any hostile power dominating a region whose resources would be sufficient to generate a global power. These regions include Western Europe, Eastern Asia, the territory of the former Soviet Union and South-West Asia".
In 2001, in the report Quadrennial Defense Review—published a week before the US/Nato war in Afghanistan, an area of primary geostrategic importance in relation to Russia and China—the Pentagon announces:
"It is possible that a military rival may emerge in Asia with a formidable resource base. US armed forces must maintain their capabilities to impose the US's will on any adversary, so as to change the regime of an enemy state or to occupy a foreign territory so that US strategic objectives can be realized".
On the basis of this strategy, US-led Nato, has launched an offensive on the Eastern front: after demolishing by war the Federation of Yugoslavia, from 1999 to date, it has subsumed all the countries of the former Warsaw Pact, three of the former Yugoslavia, three of the former USSR and very soon will incorporate others (starting from Georgia and Ukraine—the latter a de facto Nato member), moving bases and forces, nuclear included, ever closer to the Russian borders.
At the same time, on the Southern front, closely connected to the Eastern front, the war waged by the US-led Nato has demolished the Libyan State and has tried to do the same thing with the Syrian State. USA and Nato have tried to make the Ukraine crisis explode and, accusing Russia of "destabilizing European security," have dragged Europe into a new Cold War, intended particularly by Washington (at the cost of European economies damaged by sanctions and counter-sanctions) to fracture EU–Russian political and economic relations damaged by US interests. This same strategy also includes an increasing deployment of US military forces in the Asia/Pacific region for anti-Chinese reasons. The US Navy has announced that in 2020 it will concentrate 60% of its naval and air forces in this region.
The US strategy is focused on the South China Sea and Admiral Harris, head of the US Command for the Pacific, emphasizes the importance of this: through this sea passes maritime trade with an annual value of more than 5,000 billion dollars, including 25% from global export of oil and 50% of natural gas. The US wants to control these routes in the name of which Admiral Harris defines "the freedom of navigation fundamental for our way of life here in the US," accusing China, in his very words of "aggressive actions in the South China Sea, similar to Russian action in the Crimea." For this, the US Navy "is patrolling" the South China Sea. Riding on the back of the US, the biggest European powers arrive: last July, France has requested the European Union to "coordinate the naval surveillance of the South China Sea to ensure a regular and visible presence in these waters over which China has illegally asserted title." And while the US established in South Korea anti-missile systems which are also capable of launching nuclear missiles, similar to those installed against Russia in Romania and very shortly in Poland, as well as on board the war ships in the Mediterranean, on 6 October, the Nato Secretary General Stoltenberg receives South Korea's Minister for Foreign Affairs at Brussels, to "strengthen Nato's partnership with Seoul" . . .

Comment: On October 27, Vladimir Putin addressed the Valdai International Discussion Club. A careful reading by an elder in the faith will reveal how, on the demolition of the Dome of the Rock by the cleaving of the Mount of Olives at the close of the Gentile dispensation the modern Israel State will be invaded, utterly defeated and forever finished militarily. This was foretold by Israel's prophets including Jesus Messiah and expounded by William Branham. There will be a mass exodus on non-Semitic, anti-Semitic so-called 'Israeli' self-styled Jews and Russia will confiscate Israel's nuclear weapons for the preservation of humanity.
The US Dollar and world economy will fail: the United States, devastated by tectonic forces, will be defeated, invaded and briefly occupied for the preservation of humanity. She rejected her last opportunity for national repentance in 1956/7, the world church system has been apostate since 1963, and at this point the Gentile dispensation will have ended. There will be no peace until the millennium.
Without understanding the original sin and that two diverse peoples live on earth, Adam's race and a hybrid race God set at enmity with the seed of the first and the last Adam (Genesis 3:15), and rules the religious, political, financial, industrial, military and economical world, President Putin has shown how "The Elders of Zion," (easy listening audio youtube.com in modern English), City of London, Committee of 300, Black Nobility, and Vatican City State will not allow mankind "to break their yoke from off our neck." They will covenant as prophesied in Daniel 9:27 and Revelation 17:12-15 to preserve the corrupt and violent criminal status quo and establish Lucifer's one world government that Jesus refused (Matthew 4:8-9).
Those who are the Temple of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel will understand from President Putin's address, how the current pseudo-religious murder and mayhem being staged, primarily in the Middle East and North Africa, with deadly black flag psyops staged by the same people in the 'homeland,' EU, Australia, Canada and elsewhere are a negative dress rehearsal for Revelation 13:15-18 when the same people, united with the state forming an image to the beast of Imperial Rome, abrogate their covenant with the banksters and force "the mark of the beast." As Jesus taught in Revelation 17:16 – 18:20, this will see the EU/NATO abandon the United States and unite with Russia, which, having been re-communised by Jewry owing to the treachery of the apostate (once) Christian world, will and God's servant destroy the false church and the belligerent rogue (once) Protestant United States, the "image unto the beast" (Revelation 13:11-14). Revelation 19:11 – 20:3 will follow.
There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight and the truth will triumph again. Whether or not this offends you these are commonsense warnings to the world (youtube.com).

Riding on the back of the US, the biggest European powers arrive: last July, France has requested the European Union to "coordinate the naval surveillance of the South China Sea to ensure a regular and visible presence in these waters over which China has illegally asserted title." And while the US established in South Korea anti-missile systems which are also capable of launching nuclear missiles, similar to those installed against Russia in Romania and very shortly in Poland, as well as on board the war ships in the Mediterranean, on 6 October, the Nato Secretary General Stoltenberg receives South Korea's Minister for Foreign Affairs at Brussels, to "strengthen Nato's partnership with Seoul" . . .

Comment: On October 27, Vladimir Putin addressed the Valdai International Discussion Club. A careful reading by an elder in the faith will reveal how, on the demolition of the Dome of the Rock by the cleaving of the Mount of Olives at the close of the Gentile dispensation the modern Israel State will be invaded, utterly defeated and forever finished militarily. This was foretold by Israel's prophets including Jesus Messiah and expounded by William Branham. There will be a mass exodus on non-Semitic, anti-Semitic so-called 'Israeli' self-styled Jews and Russia will confiscate Israel's nuclear weapons for the preservation of humanity. The US Dollar and world economy will fail: the United States, devastated by tectonic forces, will be defeated, invaded and briefly occupied for the preservation of humanity. She rejected her last opportunity for national repentance in 1956/7, the world church system has been apostate since 1963, and at this point the Gentile dispensation will have ended. There will be no peace until the millennium.
Without understanding the original sin and that two diverse peoples live on earth, Adam's race and a hybrid race God set at enmity with the seed of the first and the last Adam (Genesis 3:15), and rules the religious, political, financial, industrial, military and economical world, President Putin has shown how "The Elders of Zion," (easy listening audio youtube.com in modern English), City of London, Committee of 300, Black Nobility, and Vatican City State will not allow mankind "to break their yoke from off our neck." They will covenant as prophesied in Daniel 9:27 and Revelation 17:12-15 to preserve the corrupt and violent criminal status quo and establish Lucifer's one world government that Jesus refused (Matthew 4:8-9).
Those who are the Temple of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel will understand from President Putin's address, how the current pseudo-religious murder and mayhem being staged, primarily in the Middle East and North Africa, with deadly black flag psyops staged by the same people in the 'homeland,' EU, Australia, Canada and elsewhere are a negative dress rehearsal for Revelation 13:15-18 when the same people, united with the state forming an image to the beast of Imperial Rome, abrogate their covenant with the banksters and force "the mark of the beast." As Jesus taught in Revelation 17:16 – 18:20, this will see the EU/NATO abandon the United States and unite with Russia, which, having been re-communised by Jewry owing to the treachery of the apostate (once) Christian world, will and God's servant destroy the false church and the belligerent rogue (once) Protestant United States, the "image unto the beast" (Revelation 13:11-14). Revelation 19:11 – 20:3 will follow.
There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight and the truth will triumph again. Whether or not this offends you these are commonsense warnings to the world (youtube.com).
War Propaganda: NATO Military Deployments on Russia's Doorstep
October 27, 2016 — Lest we forget, the Al Qaeda terrorists responsible for countless atrocities in Syria (and who presently occupy parts of the city of Aleppo) were from the very outset (March 2011) supported, trained and equipped by NATO, according to Israeli intelligence sources (Debka, August 14, 2011):
NATO headquarters in Brussels and the Turkish high command are meanwhile drawing up plans for their first military step in Syria, which is to arm the rebels with weapons for combating the tanks and helicopters spearheading the Assad regime's crackdown on dissent—NATO strategists are thinking more in terms of pouring large quantities of anti-tank and anti-air rockets, mortars and heavy machine guns into the protest centres for beating back the government armoured forces. (DEBKAfile, NATO to give rebels anti-tank weapons, August 14, 2011).
This initiative, which was also supported by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, involved a process of organized recruitment of thousands of jihadist "freedom fighters," reminiscent of the enlistment of Mujahideen to wage the CIA's jihad (holy war) in the heyday of the Soviet-Afghan war:
Also discussed in Brussels and Ankara, our sources report [August 2011], is a campaign to enlist thousands of Muslim volunteers in Middle East countries and the Muslim world to fight alongside the Syrian rebels. The Turkish army would house these volunteers, train them and secure their passage into Syria. (Emphasis added) Full story: globalresearch.ca

US Impunity erodes World Justice
October 25, 2016 — The International Criminal Court charges only Africans with human rights crimes while granting impunity to US officials and their allies, undermining what had been a noble idea of universal justice . . . In the past week, Burundi and South Africa have joined Namibia in declaring their intention to withdraw from the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). They are likely to be followed by a parade of other African countries, jeopardizing the future of an international court that has prosecuted 39 officials from eight African countries but has failed to indict a single person who is not African. Ironically, African countries were among the first to embrace the ICC, so it is a striking turnaround that they are now the first to give up on it.
But it is the United States that has played the leading role in preventing the ICC from fulfilling the universal mandate for which it was formed, to hold officials of all countries accountable for the worst crimes in the world: genocide; crimes against humanity; and war crimes—not least the crime of international aggression, which the judges at Nuremberg defined as "the supreme international crime" from which all other war crimes follow.
As the ICC's founding father, former Nuremberg prosecutor Benjamin Ferencz, lamented in 2011, "You don't have to be a criminologist to realize that if you want to deter a crime, you must persuade potential criminals that, if they commit crimes they will be hauled into court and be held accountable. It is the policy of the United States to do just the opposite as far as the crime of aggression is concerned. Our government has gone to great pains to be sure that no American will be tried by any international criminal court for the supreme crime of illegal war-making."
The US has not only refused to accept the jurisdiction of the ICC over its own citizens. It has gone further, pressuring other countries to sign Bilateral Immunity Agreements (BIA), in which they renounce the right to refer US citizens to the ICC for war crimes committed on their territory.
The US has also threatened to cut off US aid to countries that refuse to sign them. The BIAs violate those countries' own commitments under the ICC statute, and the US pressure to sign them has been rightly condemned as an outrageous effort to ensure impunity for US war crimes . . .

80-Foot Gate and Shrine excavated in Ancient City of Tel Lachish
October 3, 2016 — King Hezekiah, the twelfth king of Judea, was the pious son of a godless father, Ahaz. Immediately upon succeeding his father on the throne, Hezekiah waged a war on idolatry, ordering all false idols—objects, animals or other deities people worshipped—to be destroyed. Now, archaeologists working in the ancient city of Tel Lachish in south-central Israel believe they have uncovered evidence of the king's war on idols: a towering gate and shrine dating to the eighth century BC, when it was likely an important place of meeting and worship.
Early this year, archaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) began excavations of the gate at Tel Lachish, an ancient city located in south-central Israel between Mount Hebron and the Mediterranean coast. A joint British-Israeli expedition discovered the gate's northern end decades ago, and the more recent excavation, from January to March 2016, focused on uncovering it completely . . .

Can anyone see your Past?
Jonathan Gray
When you stared at that old photo, did you ever exclaim, "Was I really like that?"
Photos can sometimes shake you up. You are viewing the past . . . right? Photography is one thing. But have you ever wondered if Time Television might be possible? Some ancient records hint at the idea.
Construction of the "Al Muchefi Mirror" was outlined according to the laws of perspective and under proper astronomical configurations—a mirror in which one could see a panorama of Time. So states researcher Andrew Tomas, in his book "We Are Not the First" (p.167). If this is true, then the former cultures were one step ahead of us—they had Time Television.
In his book "Readable Relativity," the British scientist Clement V. Durell writes: "But all events, past, present and future as we call them, are present in our four-dimensional space-time continuum, a universe without past or present, as static as a pile of films which can be formed into a reel for the cinematograph."
Astronomers tell us that in this wonderful universe the past is still in the present, depending on where one is in space. How can this be? A simple illustration will suffice.
We see a star by the beam of light it sends out. That light beam takes a certain length of time to arrive here. Meanwhile the star moves on through space. By the time that first beam of light reaches us, and we see it, the star has moved to a different part of the sky. But we see that star as though it were still in the same place as when the beam of light left it.
We look, for example, at the Andromeda nebula; the light we see left it 820,000 years ago; we are therefore looking 820,000 years INTO THE PAST! Astronomers behold a star "explosion." We say it has just happened that we have seen a star "explode." But they know that we are looking at something that happened hundreds or even thousands of years ago, and we are just receiving the rays from it, just as those rays left that star when it was happening. Recent studies seem to indicate that from every point in the universe waves go on recording what has happened.
Rays from this earth are endlessly going on out into space, recording what we have done here on this earth. Over these rays we have no control. They are the result of our actions. We cannot bring them back. But, if we could travel fast enough, we might perhaps be able to catch up to them and see past events before our eyes. If we go to Orion, where rays from this earth take 500 to 600 years to arrive, and then look back, perhaps we see Joan of Arc, in 1429, in Orleans, waving her flag.
If we travel to Arcturus and look back, we see President John Kennedy, in 1963, slumping forward from the assassin's bullet. Perhaps we go to 61 Cygnus, and looking back eleven years we intercept the signals of the Gulf war in Kuwait. We look back from Sirius and see ourselves, you and I as we were nine years ago, and whatever we were doing at that time.
It's as though invisible signals, like radio waves, were being thrown from us into the heavens. Should we be able to race ahead and catch up with them in outer space, the past would be as in the present; past events would be seen as clearly as though they were still happening to us.
It makes you think, doesn't it? Perhaps the Creator of the universe could bring us face to face with our past at a future judgment time? Did you ever wonder what ultimately becomes of the waves that radio and television stations send out into space 24 hours a day? Do they fade and vanish, or do they keep going forever? It is known that on occasion pictures do appear mysteriously, long after a broadcast is finished.
C.B. Colby reported in the White Plains, N.Y., "Reporter Dispatch" an incident that occurred in Britain in September, 1953, and was later mentioned in Reader's Digest: "Suddenly in many parts of England television screens blossomed out with the identification card and call letters of T.V. station KLEE in Houston, Texas. At that time transatlantic programming is but a dream, so several viewers took pictures of the image to prove the happening".
"What really startled the TV world was the fact that when British broadcasting engineers advised KLEE in Houston of the unusual event, they were told that the station had been off the air since 1950. No KLEE identification card had been shown for the past three years. Where had that picture been for three years? Why did it appear only in England and how did it get back from wherever it had been?"
Did our predecessors have the technology to tune into past events at will to retrieve vibration waves from those events, which were still rippling somewhere through space? At times, I am asked, what else did they know that is ahead of us?
Comment: Brother Branham said, "They're going to find out someday that they're not seeing a hundred and fifty million years of light space either; they're going right around in a circle. That's exactly. You're going to find out one of these days that when you go to heaven, you don't fly off somewhere else; you're still right here too, just in another dimension faster than this. Right through this room's coming colour. Every colour shirt, dress, whatever you got on is eternal, laying right on records, going around and around the world. Every time you bat your eyes, it's right on record. Watch, television will prove that.
When you are born, God sets a record on. It don't make much noise for a little while, you know; that's the little baby till it comes to accountability. Then the noise starts. He starts saying things and doing things he has to answer for. And then when that life ends, that record or tape is took off and laid in the great big library of God. Now, how you going to get around it at the judgment bar? It's played right back in front of you: Every move you made, every thought that went through your mind. Can you see that? Now, can you see where God . . ."
If Einstein had only had the spiritual application, as he had the physical application, as he studied the laws of light and so forth, he could've told us something. When I heard his message on that great centre somewhere into the skies, that ever contacted with that centre, you could create earths; do anything that—the power would be unlimited. See? He had seen that.
You see these little pockets going through the air they call "saucers," so forth . . . "Hear how these people come up missing?" you say. Don't hear from them; they're standing there [in another dimension], and they're not there.
That's the way the rapture's going to be. One of them would drop right down, and this terrestrial body will take on a celestial body. And they'll be hide, hair, or bones left. It'll be transformed in a moment of time, dropping right out of space and taking home that . . . We see all this going on now, and the Pentagon wondering about these lights, and mystic lights, and everything they're seeing in the sky. You seen they had one here in the paper at Jeffersonville this week and so forth, "a mystic light." Oh, they don't know what that is. But listen, little children, it's going to pick you up one of these days . . .
Remember, Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom . . ."
What happened just before Sodom? God came down with some Angels and they had an investigation judgment. Said, "I've heard the cry that is so sinful, so great, so I've come down to find out whether it's altogether the truth or not." Is that right? Watch, that main One that stayed with Abraham could discern the thoughts was in Sarah's heart behind Him.
Now, you'd look around just a little bit and notice (See?); watch what It's doing, the same thing today. It's an investigation judgment.
Why, after while the church, when it can stand that place and every seed has been brought to its spot, they'll be gone. They won't know what happened to them. One will be going one way. See? One will be going over to the pastor's house, and one will be going here or down there; and the first thing you know, they're not there. For Enoch which was the type, God took him, and he was found not. Come down to investigate. The continuity, how that Enoch translation, a type of Israel being carried over in the ark . . .
The Word of God is so perfect, even to the Old and New Testament is two halves and one whole. Right? Old Testament's half of It, and New Testament's half of It. Put It together, you got the whole revelation of Jesus Christ. There's the prophet speaking; here He is in Person. See? Two halves and one whole" (Christ is Revealed in His Own Word, p. 14:63-64, 67-70; Good, Good, Good – Good Vibrations).

Malachi 2:17 – 3:6
"You have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet you say, How have we wearied Him? By saying, Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and He delights in them; or by asking, Where is the God of justice?"
Our apostate (once) Christian churches and hypocritical nations "have wearied the Lord with their words." We are at the end of the Gentile dispensation and they will enter the tribulation as antichrist, calling evil good, and good evil.
Representing Christ's end-time Bride under the Fourth Seal, John "saw and heard the living creature with the face of an eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpets of the three angels who are about to sound" from Laodicea to the casting down of Satan (Revelation 8:13)! In Matthew 24:8 Jesus prophesied earth's travail under three birth pains before this present world gives way to the birth of a new world. Brother Branham explained, "The old has to be done away with so the new can be born; just like a seed has to rot away in order to give new life. And how the pains, birth pains, struck the world in World War I. She had a terrific pain, because they had poison gas and so forth that almost could destroy the world. And in World War II she struck another harder pain; they had blockbusters and also an atomic bomb. She cannot stand another labour pain. With these missiles and things today, one more war will throw her out into space, for she will now be delivered, and there'll be a new earth. The Bible said there will be."
"Under every prophet's Message Israel got a birth pain, because that these prophets would come on the scene after the theologians and clergymen would have the church all in a organization form. And when them prophets come on the scene with THUS SAITH THE LORD, they shook them churches and she had a birth pain. Finally she had birth pains plumb on up until she delivered a Son of the Gospel which was the Word Itself made flesh."
"So the church really is in birth pains tonight again for the deliverance of the Son of God to come again. All of our theologians, all of our systems, all of our denominations has rotted right out from under us. So we are in birth pains. And a Message from God always throws the church in heavier pains [Revelation 14:6-11]. But after while she's going to be delivered of a Bride that'll bring forth Jesus Christ to His Bride" (This Day This Scripture is Fulfilled, p. 4:28-30; Romans 11:32; II Timothy 3:1 – 4:4; Revelation 3:15-20; 18:4).
The Messages of the angels to the Seven Church Ages brought a Spiritual war in the churches while the Seven Trumpets brought natural war upon the Israelites in judgment for rejecting those Gospel trumpets. These three woes of earth's birth pains manifest under the Fifth, Sixth and Sevenths Trumpets.
Isaiah 5:20-30, "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for Light, and Light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and clever in their own sight! Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine and valiant men in mixing strong drink: who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the rights of those who are in the right!" [A snapshot of the 'exceptional' nation, Vatican City State, the City of London, Washington DC, and that Jewish criminal organization the United Nations].
"Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and dry grass shrivels in the flame, their root will be as rottenness, and their flowers wither as dust. For they have rejected the Law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel."
"Therefore the anger of the Lord is kindled against His people, and He has stretched forth His hand against them and smitten them: and the mountains quaked and their corpses lay as refuse in the middle of the streets. Despite all this His anger is not turned away and His hand is stretched out still. He will raise a signal to the nations afar off, and whistle for them from the ends of the earth: and look, how speedily they come! None is weary, none stumbles, none slumbers or sleeps; not a waistcloth is loosed, not a sandal strap is broken: their arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are hard as flint, and their wheels like the whirlwind. Their roaring is like a lion, they roar like young lions: they growl and seize the prey, they carry it off, and none shall deliver it. And in that day they will growl like the roaring of the sea: and if one looks to the land, behold darkness and distress: and the light is darkened in the heavens [like a nuclear winter]".
The God of infinite patience is not wearied by prayers or infirmities, but by hardness of heart and a resolve to cover rather than confess sins and be converted (Isaiah 6:10; John 12:40). Malachi is opposing those like the Pharisees, who kept the ordinances but having lost faith in Providence when the Lord delayed to punish "the doers of evil"—sorcerers, adulterers, false swearers, and oppressors of their fellows against the Law (3:5)—mournfully demanded, Where is the God of justice?"
The burden of Malachi 3 is "Maranatha! The Lord is Coming." But He cannot come without first showing a heavenly sign and sending a prophet (Psalm 19; Matthew 3:16-17; Isaiah 40:3; Amos 3:7). Forsaking the Law and the Prophets Judea adopted the denominational theology of Pharisees, Essenes, Zealots, Herodians and Sadducees. They ignored the heavenly sign; Edomite king Herod beheaded their prophet John the Baptist, and because they sought Messiah's first Coming by the prophecies for His third Coming—a General instead of a Baby—they crucified Him. Today's churches seek His third Coming or second physical return which "every eye shall see" (Revelation 1:7) and "crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh" (Hebrews 6:6) because Jesus stated emphatically: "Do NOT look for the Man" by sight, seek My unseen second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming by faith (Matthew 24:23-28; 16:17-18).
He rebuked the Jews: "Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah (29:13) prophesy of you, saying, This people draw nigh to Me with their mouth, and honour Me with their lips; but their heart is far from Me. In vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the [Talmudic] commandments of men" (Matthew 15:1-9). As the Jewish denominations are ignorant of their apostasy after two thousand years, Christ's second Coming was fifty-three years ago and the apostate Gentile denominations "know it not" (Romans 11:32). We live under the Fourth and Seventh Seals, the Sixth Trumpet and Sixth Vial; two woes have passed, World War III has been in process since 2011 if not 2005. The USA is determined to ignite the 'hot stage' of this war ignorant of written scripture that states America and Israel will be tectonic and economic ruins before they fire their first treacherous shots: both nations will be defeated and invaded in a very brief and unnecessary war of their own design. Under the Sixth Seal, Seventh Trumpet and Seventh Vial the Gentile dispensation will end; the first resurrection and translation will pass, Satan will be cast down to earth and the churches will be none the wiser.
Malachi 3:1 prophesied: "Behold, I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me: and the Lord, whom you seek, will unexpectedly come to His Temple, the Angel of the Covenant in whom you delight in: behold, He is Coming, says the Lord of hosts."
Replacing the Law and the Prophets with the subterfuge of the Babylonian Talmud the Jews sought "the God of judgment in whom they delighted" (Malachi 2:17), anticipating the Son of David would descend from the heavens, defeat Rome and "restore the kingdom to Israel" (Acts 1:6). Even to the last of the siege (Matthew 24:2, 15-21) they were unprepared by faith for the unexpected Coming of the Angel and divine ratifier of God's Covenant as a consuming Judge against apostate Jerusalem (Amos 5:18-20; Malachi 4:6; Luke 12:38-46; II Peter 3:3-12; Revelation 16:15). Not until His third Coming will Messiah destroy Israel's enemies and commence His millennial reign; thereafter He will judge the world.
Haggai 2:7, 9, "I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory . . . [thereby] The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former . . ." After the days of her purification Mary brought the glory of God, baby Jesus, to the Temple at Jerusalem to be presented to the Lord (Luke 2:21-40). And when He was but twelve years old He was found sitting in the midst of the doctors both hearing them and asking them questions (Luke 2:41-52). At other times we find Him visiting and preaching in the Temple, received with hosannas, exercising His authority by purging it and driving out those who had profaned it.
Contrary to the denominational understandings of the Israelites, the Lord would be preceded by His messenger "to prepare the way." These words from Isaiah 40:3 should have been familiar to them: "The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God." Malachi was speaking of the third 'Elijah,' John the Baptist. Three years after his death, having introduced Messiah, his ministry "turned the heart of the apostolic fathers to the elect children of God [from every nation, tribe and tongue of Adam's race—not the Israel nation which will be blinded until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in]" (Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 11:9-11; Luke 7:24-28).
King Nebuchadnezzar was God's servant to raze His Temple and take the Judeans captive for a lifetime, "eye for an eye, stripe for stripe" because they had neglected to observe seventy Jubilees. During the Captivity they introduced rabbis in place of the priesthood, synagogues in place of Temple worship and the Babylonian Talmud "that made the Commandment of God of none effect" (Matthew 15:6) took precedence over THUS SAITH THE LORD in the Law and the Prophets.
In his Foreword to The Babylonian Talmud (The Very Rev. The Chief Rabbi of the British Empire) J.H. Hertz wrote on pages 13-15: "The beginnings of Talmudic literature date back to the time of the Babylonian Exile in the sixth pre-Christian century . . . When a thousand years later, the Babylonian Talmud assumed final codified form in the year 500 of the Christian era, the Western Roman Empire had ceased to be. . ."
"When we come to the Babylonian Gemara, we are dealing with what most people understand when they speak or write of the Talmud. It's birthplace, Babylonia, was an autonomous Jewish centre for a longer period than any other land, namely, soon after 586 before the Christian era to the year 1040 after the Christian era—1,626 years . . ."
"The style of the Babylonian Talmud is one of most pregnant brevity and succinctness. It is at no time "easy reading." Elliptical expression is a constantly recurring feature, and whole sentences are often indicated by as single word. In discussions, question and answer are closely interwoven, and there is an entire absence of demarcation between them. Hard thinking and closest attention are required under the personal guidance of an experienced scholar, or of an elaborate written exposition of the argument, for the discussion to be followed or to be understood. And that understanding cannot be gained by the aid of Grammar or Lexicon alone. Even a student who has fair knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic, but who has not been initiated into the Talmud by Traditional Jewish guides, will find it impossible to decipher a page!"
This is inconsistent with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel who reveals Himself in simplicity (Deuteronomy 29:29; Proverbs 28:5; Isaiah 35:8; Daniel 12:10; Hosea 14:9; John 8:43-44). God is known by revelation from Above, not intellectual gymnastics. John 1:19-28 illustrates how the Talmud had blinded the priests, Levites Pharisees and of Jesus' day to the simplicity of Scripture:
People were in expectation because of the prophecy in Daniel 9:25-26 and were already inclined to take John as Messiah (Luke 3:15). And supposing he might make that claim officials had the right under Deuteronomy 18:20-22 to inquire into his character and ascertain his vindication as a prophet. John's answers are categorical and without explanation lest they involve him in an exegetical controversy to entrap or misrepresent him, and turn him from his commission which was to introduce Messiah.
"This is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem they asked him, "Who are you?" He confessed, and did not deny; but confessed, I am not the Christ".
And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, I am not. [They had in view either the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 11:14; 17:12, Mark 9:12 and Luke 1:17 which He was, or Matthew 17:10-11 and Mark 9:11-12 which he was not. This confusion was caused by the Septuagint which erroneously claimed Malachi 4:5-6 referred to the resurrected Elijah the Tishbite, hence the popular expectation expressed in Matthew 16:14, Mark 6:15, Luke 9:8 and in John 1:21]. "Are you that Prophet?" [Either the resurrected Jeremiah speculated in Matthew 16:14, or Messiah; Deuteronomy 18:15-18, John 1:25; 6:14; 7:40, Matthew 21:1, Acts 3:21-23; 7:37. And he answered, No.
Then said they to him, "Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?" [The unassuming] John said, I am [no one, merely] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah (40:3).
The priests, Levites and Pharisees were clearly anticipating the wrong Coming as Isaiah 40:3 does not appear to enter their theology. Mark 1:2-4 quoted the same major prophet, "As it is written in Isaiah 40:3, Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight. John baptized in the wilderness, preaching the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins." And Luke 1:11-17 declared John went before the Lord, Israel's God, the Angel of the ancient Covenant, the true Temple of the Lord (John 2:19) as prophesied by Malachi 4:6a.
Baptism is connected with the Kingdom of Messiah in Ezekiel 36:25; 37:23, Haggai 2:14 and Zechariah 13:1 where it is a declaration concerning the regeneration of the Israel nation in one day by the baptism with the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 66:8). "They who had been sent were from the Pharisees. And they asked and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, neither that prophet [Jeremiah]?" John answered them saying, I baptize with water: but among you stands One, whom you do not know. It is He who comes after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie. These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan [in Perea], where John was baptizing".
Jesus had lived and walked in their midst for thirty years (excluding his infancy in Egypt) and the people knew Him not. And Christ has been with us for fifty-three years yet 'Christian' churches are ignorant of His Presence.
John was the messenger ordained to introduce the Messenger of the Old Covenant, Jesus Messiah, the Angel of God, the Mediator between the invisible God and man. Hebrews 9:13-15, "If the mere sprinkling of unholy and defiled persons with the blood of goats and calves and the ashes of a burnt heifer is sufficient for the physical purification of the body, how much more surely will the Blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? For this reason He is the mediator of a New Covenant, so that those who are called may receive the eternal inheritance that was promised [the soul], since a propitiation has atoned for the transgressions under the first Covenant." This is confirmed by Matthew 27:50-53, "For when the testator had died the veil of the Temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints who slept arose, and came out of the graves after His resurrection, and appeared to many in Jerusalem".
At times in created flesh, the Angel of the Covenant spoke with Abraham in Genesis 14 and 18, Hagar in Genesis 21, Jacob in Genesis 32, Moses in Genesis 3, Joshua in Joshua 1, Gideon in Judges 6, Manoah and his wife. In Exodus 23:20 God told Moses, "Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place I have prepared. Beware of Him, and obey His voice, provoke Him not; for He will not pardon your transgressions: for My Name is in Him" (Deuteronomy 16:2, 5-6). In Isaiah 63:9 He is called, "the Angel of His Presence [or face]" with reference to Exodus 33:14-15 where the Lord told Moses, "My Presence [face] shall go with you, and I will give you rest. And Moses said to Him, If Your face does not go with me, do not lead us there".
Moses was only allowed to see God's back parts as He passed a clift in the rock. The Angel of the Lord is called God's face because no man can see His face and live, yet the Angel of His face is the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His Person. In Him God's Presence is manifest (John 1:18; 14:9; 17:1-26). So we see that the Bible is the story of God changing His form or unfolding Himself from the Holy Spirit alone with His eternal thoughts to their manifestation in the flesh of His glorified Family. Jesus Christ was the author and beginner of this NEW CREATION of God-men begun less than 2,000 years ago (Revelation 3:14; II Corinthians 5:14-17; Colossians 1:14-23).
"Behold, He shall Come, said the Lord of hosts" in Malachi 3:1 referring to our virgin-born KINSMAN Redeemer returning to Israel as "the God of judgment . . . in the great and dreadful Day of the Lord" (Malachi 2:17; 4:1-3). They did not recognize Him in the days of His flesh but "EVERY eye shall see Him when He comes with clouds" (Revelation 1:7). Jesus Messiah is the Angel of the Covenant manifest in flesh (Exodus 23:20-21; I Corinthians 10:1-4; Hebrews 11:26; 12:26).
"But who can endure the day of His Coming (Joel 2:11)? And who can stand when He appears (Revelation 6:17)? For He is like a refiner's fire (Zechariah 13:9; I Corinthians 3:13-15), and like fullers' soap".
This question is an emphatic negative since no one will be able to endure Armageddon which will be the consummation of life on earth (Daniel 9:27; Malachi 4:6; 1-3; Revelation 19:15-21). However Messiah did not come to flatter the self-styled non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews and the religious prejudices of denominational zealots but to lay the axe to the root of their manmade doctrines, "thoroughly purge His threshing floor, gather His wheat into the garner and burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire" (Matthew 3:10-12). When the Israelites rejected the Holy Spirit He turned to the Gentiles (Malachi 1:11; Acts 15:5-21; Galatians 4:16-17), and initiated seven Trumpet plagues of war on the Israelites and their impersonators when He destroyed Jerusalem and from the first advent He has been refining and separating non-elect Israelites by martyrdom under the Fifth Seal. Under the Sixth Seal and Seventh Trumpet He will purge, regenerate and martyr 144,000 elect Israelites (Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 7:3-9; 11:13-19; 12:7-17; 14:1 – 15:4).
Malachi 4:3-4, "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, till they present offerings to the Lord in righteousness. Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord, as in the days of old and as in former years." That is, in the days of Moses, David, and Solomon, or still earlier in the case of Abel, Noah, Abraham, and the patriarchs before the days of degeneracy (Malachi 1:11; 2:5-7).
This refining will begin with the priests who stand in closest relation with the Lord so that their offering is not Temple ritual and lectionary preaching but a clear revelation of "the present Truth" that was revealed through Israel's 'Moses' and 'Elijah' and delivered to the people in righteousness. The offering will not be expiatory but "the sacrifice of praise, the fruit of their lips giving thanks to His Name" (Hebrews 13:15), thanksgiving, and self-dedication—the Token of the Life of Christ on display in them. When the dross is poured off an election of 144,000 regenerated Israelites will remain "standing with the Lamb on Mount Zion having His Father's Name written in their foreheads" (Revelation 14:1).
Zechariah 13:8-9, "And it shall come to pass, [after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week that] in all the land of the Covenant, says the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on My Name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is My people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God" (Isaiah 1:25; Ezekiel 5:2-5, 12; Zechariah 2:10; Hosea 2:23; Revelation 15:1-4).
As the Refiner and Purifier of silver, the Lord will metaphorically sit before the crucible, with patient love and unflinching justice fix his eye on the metal, taking care that the fire is not too hot but not pouring the metal until He can see His Own image reflected. When He sees the Token on display He will know that the dross has been completely removed. Romans 8:29, "Those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren" (Job 23:10; Psalms 66:10; Proverbs 17:3; Isaiah 48:10; Hebrews 12:10; I Peter 1:7). Their martyrdom and the consummation will follow.
"Then I [whom you thought far off and slow in judgment (2:17) will draw near to the people in judgment [through the ministry of the priests]; I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers (to which Jewry was addicted from that time onward Acts 8:9-24; 13:6-12; Galatians 5:20; Josephus [Antiquities, 20.6; Wars of the Jews, 2.12.23]), against the adulterers [then so common the corrupt Sanhedrim ordained that the trial of an adulteress, prescribed in Numbers 5, should no longer be put in practice], and against false swearers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the orphan, against those who turn aside the stranger (Deuteronomy 27:19) (Heb.), 'ger,' and do not reverence Me, says the Lord of hosts." False swearing and oppression are complained of in Zechariah 5:4 and Nehemiah 5:3. The sins specified were all against the Law of Moses, some of which were capital crimes.
"Swift witness against them," was fulfilled when God's servant Titus took Jerusalem as prophesied in Ezekiel 9. And it is only "because God's gifts and calling are irrevocable, you sons of Jacob are not consumed" (Romans 11:29). Therefore as God is unchangeable He will not suffer Israel to wholly perish, for although their sins warranted the nation's destruction God must accomplish His purpose (Isaiah 55:11). nl946.htm
Our apostate (once) Christian churches and hypocritical nations "have wearied the Lord with their words." We are at the end of the Gentile dispensation and they will enter the tribulation as antichrist, calling evil good, and good evil.
Representing Christ's end-time Bride under the Fourth Seal, John "saw and heard the living creature with the face of an eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpets of the three angels who are about to sound" from Laodicea to the casting down of Satan (Revelation 8:13)! In Matthew 24:8 Jesus prophesied earth's travail under three birth pains before this present world gives way to the birth of a new world. Brother Branham explained, "The old has to be done away with so the new can be born; just like a seed has to rot away in order to give new life. And how the pains, birth pains, struck the world in World War I. She had a terrific pain, because they had poison gas and so forth that almost could destroy the world. And in World War II she struck another harder pain; they had blockbusters and also an atomic bomb. She cannot stand another labour pain. With these missiles and things today, one more war will throw her out into space, for she will now be delivered, and there'll be a new earth. The Bible said there will be."
"Under every prophet's Message Israel got a birth pain, because that these prophets would come on the scene after the theologians and clergymen would have the church all in a organization form. And when them prophets come on the scene with THUS SAITH THE LORD, they shook them churches and she had a birth pain. Finally she had birth pains plumb on up until she delivered a Son of the Gospel which was the Word Itself made flesh."
"So the church really is in birth pains tonight again for the deliverance of the Son of God to come again. All of our theologians, all of our systems, all of our denominations has rotted right out from under us. So we are in birth pains. And a Message from God always throws the church in heavier pains [Revelation 14:6-11]. But after while she's going to be delivered of a Bride that'll bring forth Jesus Christ to His Bride" (This Day This Scripture is Fulfilled, p. 4:28-30; Romans 11:32; II Timothy 3:1 – 4:4; Revelation 3:15-20; 18:4).
The Messages of the angels to the Seven Church Ages brought a Spiritual war in the churches while the Seven Trumpets brought natural war upon the Israelites in judgment for rejecting those Gospel trumpets. These three woes of earth's birth pains manifest under the Fifth, Sixth and Sevenths Trumpets.
Isaiah 5:20-30, "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for Light, and Light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and clever in their own sight! Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine and valiant men in mixing strong drink: who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the rights of those who are in the right!" [A snapshot of the 'exceptional' nation, Vatican City State, the City of London, Washington DC, and that Jewish criminal organization the United Nations].
"Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and dry grass shrivels in the flame, their root will be as rottenness, and their flowers wither as dust. For they have rejected the Law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel."
"Therefore the anger of the Lord is kindled against His people, and He has stretched forth His hand against them and smitten them: and the mountains quaked and their corpses lay as refuse in the middle of the streets. Despite all this His anger is not turned away and His hand is stretched out still. He will raise a signal to the nations afar off, and whistle for them from the ends of the earth: and look, how speedily they come! None is weary, none stumbles, none slumbers or sleeps; not a waistcloth is loosed, not a sandal strap is broken: their arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are hard as flint, and their wheels like the whirlwind. Their roaring is like a lion, they roar like young lions: they growl and seize the prey, they carry it off, and none shall deliver it. And in that day they will growl like the roaring of the sea: and if one looks to the land, behold darkness and distress: and the light is darkened in the heavens [like a nuclear winter]".
The God of infinite patience is not wearied by prayers or infirmities, but by hardness of heart and a resolve to cover rather than confess sins and be converted (Isaiah 6:10; John 12:40). Malachi is opposing those like the Pharisees, who kept the ordinances but having lost faith in Providence when the Lord delayed to punish "the doers of evil"—sorcerers, adulterers, false swearers, and oppressors of their fellows against the Law (3:5)—mournfully demanded, Where is the God of justice?"
The burden of Malachi 3 is "Maranatha! The Lord is Coming." But He cannot come without first showing a heavenly sign and sending a prophet (Psalm 19; Matthew 3:16-17; Isaiah 40:3; Amos 3:7). Forsaking the Law and the Prophets Judea adopted the denominational theology of Pharisees, Essenes, Zealots, Herodians and Sadducees. They ignored the heavenly sign; Edomite king Herod beheaded their prophet John the Baptist, and because they sought Messiah's first Coming by the prophecies for His third Coming—a General instead of a Baby—they crucified Him. Today's churches seek His third Coming or second physical return which "every eye shall see" (Revelation 1:7) and "crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh" (Hebrews 6:6) because Jesus stated emphatically: "Do NOT look for the Man" by sight, seek My unseen second or (Gk.)

As the Jewish denominations are ignorant of their apostasy after two thousand years, Christ's second Coming was fifty-three years ago and the apostate Gentile denominations "know it not" (Romans 11:32).

Not until His third Coming will Messiah destroy Israel's enemies and commence His millennial reign; thereafter He will judge the world.

This confusion was caused by the Septuagint which erroneously claimed Malachi 4:5-6 referred to the resurrected Elijah the Tishbite, hence the popular expectation expressed in Matthew 16:14, Mark 6:15, Luke 9:8 and in John 1:21]. "Are you that Prophet?" [Either the resurrected Jeremiah speculated in Matthew 16:14, or Messiah; Deuteronomy 18:15-18, John 1:25; 6:14; 7:40, Matthew 21:1, Acts 3:21-23; 7:37. And he answered, No.
Then said they to him, "Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?" [The unassuming] John said, I am [no one, merely] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah (40:3).
The priests, Levites and Pharisees were clearly anticipating the wrong Coming as Isaiah 40:3 does not appear to enter their theology. Mark 1:2-4 quoted the same major prophet, "As it is written in Isaiah 40:3, Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight. John baptized in the wilderness, preaching the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins." And Luke 1:11-17 declared John went before the Lord, Israel's God, the Angel of the ancient Covenant, the true Temple of the Lord (John 2:19) as prophesied by Malachi 4:6a.
Baptism is connected with the Kingdom of Messiah in Ezekiel 36:25; 37:23, Haggai 2:14 and Zechariah 13:1 where it is a declaration concerning the regeneration of the Israel nation in one day by the baptism with the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 66:8). "They who had been sent were from the Pharisees. And they asked and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, neither that prophet [Jeremiah]?" John answered them saying, I baptize with water: but among you stands One, whom you do not know. It is He who comes after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie. These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan [in Perea], where John was baptizing".
Jesus had lived and walked in their midst for thirty years (excluding his infancy in Egypt) and the people knew Him not. And Christ has been with us for fifty-three years yet 'Christian' churches are ignorant of His Presence.
John was the messenger ordained to introduce the Messenger of the Old Covenant, Jesus Messiah, the Angel of God, the Mediator between the invisible God and man. Hebrews 9:13-15, "If the mere sprinkling of unholy and defiled persons with the blood of goats and calves and the ashes of a burnt heifer is sufficient for the physical purification of the body, how much more surely will the Blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? For this reason He is the mediator of a New Covenant, so that those who are called may receive the eternal inheritance that was promised [the soul], since a propitiation has atoned for the transgressions under the first Covenant." This is confirmed by Matthew 27:50-53, "For when the testator had died the veil of the Temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints who slept arose, and came out of the graves after His resurrection, and appeared to many in Jerusalem".
At times in created flesh, the Angel of the Covenant spoke with Abraham in Genesis 14 and 18, Hagar in Genesis 21, Jacob in Genesis 32, Moses in Genesis 3, Joshua in Joshua 1, Gideon in Judges 6, Manoah and his wife. In Exodus 23:20 God told Moses, "Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place I have prepared. Beware of Him, and obey His voice, provoke Him not; for He will not pardon your transgressions: for My Name is in Him" (Deuteronomy 16:2, 5-6). In Isaiah 63:9 He is called, "the Angel of His Presence [or face]" with reference to Exodus 33:14-15 where the Lord told Moses, "My Presence [face] shall go with you, and I will give you rest. And Moses said to Him, If Your face does not go with me, do not lead us there".
Moses was only allowed to see God's back parts as He passed a clift in the rock. The Angel of the Lord is called God's face because no man can see His face and live, yet the Angel of His face is the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His Person. In Him God's Presence is manifest (John 1:18; 14:9; 17:1-26). So we see that the Bible is the story of God changing His form or unfolding Himself from the Holy Spirit alone with His eternal thoughts to their manifestation in the flesh of His glorified Family. Jesus Christ was the author and beginner of this NEW CREATION of God-men begun less than 2,000 years ago (Revelation 3:14; II Corinthians 5:14-17; Colossians 1:14-23). "Behold, He shall Come, said the Lord of hosts" in Malachi 3:1 referring to our virgin-born KINSMAN Redeemer returning to Israel as "the God of judgment . . . in the great and dreadful Day of the Lord" (Malachi 2:17; 4:1-3). They did not recognize Him in the days of His flesh but "EVERY eye shall see Him when He comes with clouds" (Revelation 1:7). Jesus Messiah is the Angel of the Covenant manifest in flesh (Exodus 23:20-21; I Corinthians 10:1-4; Hebrews 11:26; 12:26).
"But who can endure the day of His Coming (Joel 2:11)? And who can stand when He appears (Revelation 6:17)? For He is like a refiner's fire (Zechariah 13:9; I Corinthians 3:13-15), and like fullers' soap".
This question is an emphatic negative since no one will be able to endure Armageddon which will be the consummation of life on earth (Daniel 9:27; Malachi 4:6; 1-3; Revelation 19:15-21). However Messiah did not come to flatter the self-styled non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews and the religious prejudices of denominational zealots but to lay the axe to the root of their manmade doctrines, "thoroughly purge His threshing floor, gather His wheat into the garner and burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire" (Matthew 3:10-12). When the Israelites rejected the Holy Spirit He turned to the Gentiles (Malachi 1:11; Acts 15:5-21; Galatians 4:16-17), and initiated seven Trumpet plagues of war on the Israelites and their impersonators when He destroyed Jerusalem and from the first advent He has been refining and separating non-elect Israelites by martyrdom under the Fifth Seal. Under the Sixth Seal and Seventh Trumpet He will purge, regenerate and martyr 144,000 elect Israelites (Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 7:3-9; 11:13-19; 12:7-17; 14:1 – 15:4).
Malachi 4:3-4, "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, till they present offerings to the Lord in righteousness. Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord, as in the days of old and as in former years." That is, in the days of Moses, David, and Solomon, or still earlier in the case of Abel, Noah, Abraham, and the patriarchs before the days of degeneracy (Malachi 1:11; 2:5-7).
This refining will begin with the priests who stand in closest relation with the Lord so that their offering is not Temple ritual and lectionary preaching but a clear revelation of "the present Truth" that was revealed through Israel's 'Moses' and 'Elijah' and delivered to the people in righteousness. The offering will not be expiatory but "the sacrifice of praise, the fruit of their lips giving thanks to His Name" (Hebrews 13:15), thanksgiving, and self-dedication—the Token of the Life of Christ on display in them. When the dross is poured off an election of 144,000 regenerated Israelites will remain "standing with the Lamb on Mount Zion having His Father's Name written in their foreheads" (Revelation 14:1).
Zechariah 13:8-9, "And it shall come to pass, [after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week that] in all the land of the Covenant, says the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on My Name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is My people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God" (Isaiah 1:25; Ezekiel 5:2-5, 12; Zechariah 2:10; Hosea 2:23; Revelation 15:1-4).
As the Refiner and Purifier of silver, the Lord will metaphorically sit before the crucible, with patient love and unflinching justice fix his eye on the metal, taking care that the fire is not too hot but not pouring the metal until He can see His Own image reflected. When He sees the Token on display He will know that the dross has been completely removed. Romans 8:29, "Those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren" (Job 23:10; Psalms 66:10; Proverbs 17:3; Isaiah 48:10; Hebrews 12:10; I Peter 1:7). Their martyrdom and the consummation will follow.
"Then I [whom you thought far off and slow in judgment (2:17) will draw near to the people in judgment [through the ministry of the priests]; I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers (to which Jewry was addicted from that time onward Acts 8:9-24; 13:6-12; Galatians 5:20; Josephus [Antiquities, 20.6; Wars of the Jews, 2.12.23]), against the adulterers [then so common the corrupt Sanhedrim ordained that the trial of an adulteress, prescribed in Numbers 5, should no longer be put in practice], and against false swearers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the orphan, against those who turn aside the stranger (Deuteronomy 27:19) (Heb.), 'ger,' and do not reverence Me, says the Lord of hosts." False swearing and oppression are complained of in Zechariah 5:4 and Nehemiah 5:3. The sins specified were all against the Law of Moses, some of which were capital crimes.
"Swift witness against them," was fulfilled when God's servant Titus took Jerusalem as prophesied in Ezekiel 9. And it is only "because God's gifts and calling are irrevocable, you sons of Jacob are not consumed" (Romans 11:29). Therefore as God is unchangeable He will not suffer Israel to wholly perish, for although their sins warranted the nation's destruction God must accomplish His purpose (Isaiah 55:11). nl946.htm
