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.
The united States once again prove they are a pale Yiddishe Trojan Horse: Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, al Qaeda, Al Nusra, Daesh, Isis, and other colonial hacks of 'the City of London' mounted by Yiddishe knaves and camel jockeys are following it to perdition. "And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, [and with DU, IEDs, Sarin, chlorine and other gases, and with spiritual death, and with the beasts of the earth" for the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic illusion of Greater 'Israel' and Satan's Eden, the Talmud's promise of one totalitarian world government Israel's Messiah refused.
President Donald Trump is no different from any previous American Jew president, a liar drawing the united States, (which rejected her last opportunity for national repentance in 1956/7 and is accursed of God), closer to the nuclear annihilation that has been prophesied for about eight years hence. As God's servants, Nebuchadnezzar and General Titus served in the chastisement of Israel. Now the perfidious and dastardly treachery of this hypocritical President Trump is serving God by transforming America into "the (once) Protestant image unto the beast of Papal Rome." Metaphorically brutal, bestial men; held in such contempt it will be annihilated by the atheistic Judaeo-Communism it established at public expense through America's tax-free foundations.
This week's main article entitled "Easter Truths" is a well-documented exposure of deadly satanic deceptions and BIG LIES universally observed and defended by the denominations. Precious souls in dry pastures are relying upon pagan traditions and iniquitous psychology for eternal Life because no revelation is delivered over the pulpit so the congregants are in fact souls imprisoned now. This is important reading. These delusions are held by many churches in the circle of this Message.
This week's news focuses on the evolution of the united States from "the home of the brave and the land of the free" to a cowardly, dastardly killing machine destined to become "the (once) Protestant image unto the beast of Papal Rome" (Revelation 13:14-15). There is also an informative video on chemtrails and their nefarious functions.

The Khan Sheikoun Show – 'A New President' proudly presented by Trump Productions
April 8, 2017 — The "chemical attack" at Khan Sheikoun was faked and a show; though a number of people were killed or hurt during its production . . .
The response by the US was not completely fake but as small as it could be. The base was warned and had been evacuated. All movable and valuable stuff had been taken away. The attack was even smaller than planned. The Russian Defense Ministry says only 23 out of 59 cruise missiles hit the base. The others were shot down by air defense or diverted by the famous Russian Electronic Counter Measures. The Pentagon insists that all 59 hit. But the pictures and video from the base only show damage to 11 aircraft shelters. Additionally one radar, one missile launcher and a fuel depot were hit. That effect is too small for 59 impacts. The base was in use again 12 hours after the strike. The attack on it was not really serious . . .
The pictures and scenes . . . were constructed by Trump for consumption by the "western" public . . . Trump is also a successful professional TV presenter who knows how to act in front of cameras. The plot followed Trump's persuasion style . . . It was perfectly timed for the visit of the Chinese President Xi . . . a stunt to Trump's liking. It was his production. The blond children were there to allow for his "Beautiful babies were cruelly murdered . . ." punch line. Trump proudly produced and presented to you: 'Trump the NEW President'.
The whole show was designed to let Trump look strong and presidential and to get rid of the "Russia Gate" nonsense the Neocons ran against him. The prospect of stopping those attacks was an offer he could not refuse . . .

Donald Trump is an International Law Breaker
April 7, 2017 — Donald Trump's decision to launch cruise missile strikes on a Syrian Air Force Base was based on a lie. In the coming days the American people will learn that the Intelligence Community knew that Syria did not drop a military chemical weapon on innocent civilians in Idlib. Here is what happened:
- The Russians briefed the United States on the proposed target. This is a process that started more than two months ago [prior to the Chemical Weapons attack. Russia has since cancelled the agreement]. There is a dedicated phone line that is being used to coordinate and deconflict (i.e., prevent US and Russian air assets from shooting at each other) the upcoming operation.
- The United States was fully briefed on the fact there was a target in Idlib and that the Russians believed it was a weapons/explosives depot for Islamic rebels.
- The Syrian Air Force hit the target with conventional weapons. All involved expected to see a massive secondary explosion. That did not happen. Instead, smoke, chemical smoke, began billowing from the site. It turns out that the Islamic rebels used that site to store chemicals, not sarin, that were deadly. The chemicals included organic phosphates and chlorine and they followed the wind and killed civilians.
- There was a strong wind blowing that day and the cloud was driven to a nearby village and caused casualties.
- We know it was not sarin. How? Very simple. The so-called "first responders" handled the victims without gloves. If this had been sarin they would have died. Sarin on the skin will kill you. How do I know? I went through "Live Agent" training at Fort McClellan in Alabama.
There are members of the US military who were aware that this strike would occur and it was recorded. There is a film record. At least the Defense Intelligence Agency knows that this was not a chemical weapon attack. In fact, Syrian military chemical weapons were destroyed with the help of Russia.
This is Gulf of Tonkin 2. How ironic. Donald Trump correctly castigated George W. Bush for launching an unprovoked, unjustified attack on Iraq in 2003. Now we have President Donald Trump doing the same damn thing. Worse in fact, because the intelligence community had information showing that there was no chemical weapon launched by the Syrian Air Force.
Here's the good news. The Russians and Syrians were informed, or at least were aware, that the [cruise missile] attack was coming. They were able to remove a large number of their assets. The base the United States hit was something of a backwater. Donald Trump gets to pretend that he is a tough guy. He is not. He is a fool.
This attack was violation of international law. Donald Trump authorized an unjustified attack on a sovereign country. What is even more disturbing is that people like Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, CIA Director Mike Pompeo and NSA Director General McMaster went along with this charade. Front line troops know the truth. These facts will eventually come out. Donald Trump will most likely not finish his term as President. He will be impeached, I believe, once Congress is presented with irrefutable proof that he ignored and rejected intelligence that did not support the myth that Syria attacked with chemical weapons.
It should also alarm American taxpayers that we launched $100 million dollars of missiles to blow up sand and camel cakes. The Russians were aware that a strike was coming. I'm hoping that they and the Syrians withdrew their forces and aircraft from the base. Whatever hope I had that Donald Trump would be a new kind of President, that hope is extinguished. He is a child and a moron. He committed an act of war without justification. But the fault is not his alone. Those who sit atop the NSC, the DOD, the CIA, and the Department of State should have resigned in protest. They did not. They are complicit in a war crime . . . Full story: turcopolier.typepad.com
Comment: Is all of this designed to get Jewish President Trump and his VP out of office and Jewish President Obama temporarily in? 'The City' has Trump wedged and is moving closer to destroying Syria en route to Iran and Russia. Either way the utter defeat of the modern Israel state prophesied in the Old Testament will have precedence. 'The City' and thugs like Netanyahu, the world's twenty-first most powerful person know their true identity and that they must soon exit Israel, "Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away." He plans to recolonise the Ukraine, re-communize Russia, destroy America and re-take the Holy Land. The Prophet said of his vision, "I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters and smoke all over the land of America" (Daniel 11:40-45, ibid. p. 322:3).

April 7, 2017 — The determination of the American ruling establishment to change the secular, authoritarian regime in Syria, just as we have done before in Iraq and Libya, and, quite possibly [Ed], even in Iran, has been on display for quite some time now. We saw a strong indication of our intentions in early 2005 when George W. Bush was president and the former and likely future prime minister of Lebanon, Rafiq Hariri, was assassinated by a bomb. At that time there was a rush in the American press to blame Bashar Assad, the president of Syria, for the attack, based only upon the fact that Hariri was opposed to Syria's domination of Lebanon.
One could argue just as persuasively that the very purpose of the killing, like the supposed "gas attacks on his own people" in 2013 and just this week, was to vilify Assad and to provide a pretext for replacing him with . . . chaos in Syria, after the fashion of the regime change in Iraq and later in Libya. "Always the goal is to wipe out any secular resistance to Western and Israeli incursions," is how Justin Raimondo of Antiwar.com put it at the time.
In the video that Buelahman made of my song, "We're the USA," it is of some interest that the second time the words are sung, "Maybe we'll invade you too . . . and you," we see a map of Syria and a photograph of Bashar Assad.
Well before that I had weighed in on the bombing that killed Hariri with the observation that if our press was lying about who did it, it would certainly not be the first time that they had not told the truth about an important bombing . . .

Black 9/11
April 8, 2016 — The best way to discover the truth about the monumentally corrupt, near monolithic power that rules over the United States and much of the free world is to dig as deeply as you can into one important issue. Pulling on one loose string, you will find, soon causes an unravelling of the nice, neat ball as it is presented to us by the Press and by much of the academic community. The truth, you will find, is quite different from what absolutely every single person in the mainstream media and government is telling you that it is.
I received the following email this morning from Mark Gaffney, the author of "Black 9/11" and "The 9/11 Mystery Plane":
I'm sending this email because action is better than despair.
Our country has just attacked Syria, a nation that did nothing to us. It is raw blatant aggression. US warmongers have won again.
Today's fateful missile attack by the US could easily lead to a nuclear confrontation with Russia and China in a matter of weeks, days or even hours. The die is cast. Time is short.
There is no hard evidence that Syrian president Assad ordered a chemical attack on his own people. The press headlines that Assad launched an attack are misleading at best. The facts are not yet all in, but it appears the toxic release and tragic deaths occurred when the Syrian Air Force bombed an al Qaeda weapons facility in Idlib province. If this is correct, the toxic release was inadvertent, a tragedy of war. Al Qaeda terrorists have controlled Idlib for most of the war. Although the US government often describes them as moderates, they have beheaded journalists, desecrated Christian churches and murdered non-Muslim civilians.
Syria gave up its chemical weapons in 2013 thanks to effective Russian diplomacy. At the time, that diplomacy saved the US from becoming militarily involved in Syria, which would have been a terrible blunder. Unfortunately, our leaders are incapable of learning.
It is known that al Qaeda rebels in Syria acquired chemical weapons as a result of the destruction of Libya orchestrated by the warmonger Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Ghadaffi had chemical stockpiles and these "got away" after the US toppled his government. From Libya, there was an arms pipeline to al Qaeda-associated groups in Syria. The arms included chemical precursors. Thus, US aggression against Libya was largely responsible for the proliferation of chemical weapons across the region. This is the context for the latest tragedy.
Unfortunately, the American people are in the dark about all of this; because outside the Internet there is no independent media left in our country to counter government propaganda about Syria. Today, nearly all of the US media is controlled by the military industrial complex, thanks to the media consolidation allowed by Bill Clinton in the 1990s. This also explains why our political system is so dysfunctional. As Jefferson wrote, democracy cannot function without an informed public.

Easter Truths
Ephesians 2:20-22, "The Body of Christ—Christians—are constructed upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the Chief Corner Stone [Capstone]; in Whom the whole Building, framed together grows into a Holy Temple in the Lord: in Whom you too are built up together for a dwelling of God in the Spirit".
II Peter 1:10-12, "Brethren, exert yourselves the more to confirm your calling and election . . . for so an entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be liberally provided for you. Therefore I will always remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in "the present Truth".
Now we cannot possibly be established in "the present Truth" of God's unchanging Word unless we are "walking in the Light Jesus is shining now," because we would be out of fellowship. "If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we are lying and not living according to the Truth: but if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light [not impersonating the glare of a day gone by], we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin [which is unbelief in His revealed Word]" (I John 1:6-7).
You see, like each one of us, God has a program, but His program was written before the foundation of the world and it can never change (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8). The eternal thoughts of God! Let me ask you "Are the thoughts of God eternal?" If you can see this, you will see many things. God is unchangeable in both essence and behavior. God is infinite in His abilities so therefore He as God must be omniscient. If He is omniscient, then He is not now learning, nor is He taking counsel even with Himself, nor is He at any time adding to His knowledge. If He can add to His knowledge, then He is not omniscient. But that is not Scriptural".
God's unchanging program was published in His Bible at the foundation of the world. Your own Bible tells you it was first written the stars, the Zodiac (Genesis 1:14; Psalm 19:4; 119:89). Secondly it was written in stone by Enoch who built the Great Pyramid of Giza before the Flood; it holds the same prophecies as His first Bible, and your Bible tells precisely the same story in paper and ink. Three is a witness, so God's Word cannot possibly change and must be fulfilled in its season as it is written.
There was a point when there was neither light nor darkness, atom or molecule, just the eternal Spirit alone with His thoughts, and He was lonely. Since the word "god" means object of worship and there was nothing to worship Him, he was only potentially God until He created angels, our theophanies.
The Bible is the story of God unfolding Himself or changing His form from the eternal Spirit alone with His thoughts to the flesh of His glorified Family. But that eternal Life could not, and would not, be shared in any other way than through "God manifest in the flesh." This was a part of His eternal and predestinated purpose. This plan was to be to the praise of the glory of His grace. It was the plan of Redemption. It was the plan of Salvation. God being a Saviour, it was necessary that He predestinate a man who would require salvation in order to give Himself reason and purpose of being. That is a hundred percent correct and multitudes of Scripture bear it out as does the very pointed verse of Romans 11:36, "For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are ALL THINGS: to Whom be GLORY forever. Amen."
Jesus said, "We must worship God in spirit and in Truth" (John 4:23). That is, by faith which is "the mind of God in you" by a clear understanding of His revealed Word. Now God's Word is Truth; without the Spirit "the letter killeth," but when the Spirit shines upon the Word it brings Light and understanding, which is faith. Anything less is religious ignorance.
We must know the Lord God experientially in order to worship Him in spirit and in Truth. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble" (Psalm 46:1). Through the knowledge of Him He gains glory to Himself when we are sick and have need of healing, for He is Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord that heals you by faith (Exodus 15:26; Matthew 4:23). Whenever we have a genuine need, whatever it might be call upon Him in faith, He is Jehovah-Jireh—the Lord will provide (Genesis 22:13-18; Matthew 14:15-21). When we exercise faith Jesus is able to manifest His Attributes and gather glory to Himself.
Those of us who are elect of God are on a journey that has taken us from His eternal thinking to natural birth on earth to love in the knowledge and admonition of Him to the second birth that of our soul, making us His children journeying back to eternity and eventually back to earth with Jesus and the saints of all Ages to dwell together through all eternity on a renewed heavens and renewed earth.
Throughout time those who are God's children have recognized their day and it's Message, becoming "written epistles" of the "present Truth." For almost fifteen hundred years Israelites observed the Passover, which is an event rather than a day, killing their paschal lamb at about three on the afternoon of Nisan 14, typing the sacrifice of Jesus Messiah, the last Adam, the propitiation for the sins of the first Adam and his race. Nisan 15 commenced at sunset that same evening after which the lamb was eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. The week of unleavened bread extended until Nisan 21. Daniel 9:26-27 foretold the year in which Israel's Kinsman Redeemer the true Lamb of God would be slaughtered.
For five hundred and seventy years every Israelite knew from Moses and Daniel the very year, month, day and hour in which with wicked hands they would kill their kinsman Redeemer. Like today's denominational Christians (so-called) they trusted the teachings of their kind old priest without searching the Scriptures to prove if those things were so, and without faith, they failed to recognize "the present Truth" of their day and its Message and rejected and murdered Messiah.
Note: "the things that the preacher is liable to teach yer, ain't necessarily so." In the Babylonian captivity their religious leaders cooked up what has become the Babylonian Talmud, a lewd antithesis to the Law and the Prophets. It taught the children of Israel how to evade the Law while maintaining the appearance of religious observance: Jesus said, "In vain do you worship Me teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Matthew 15:9).
Jesus was born near the end of the dispensation of the Law; the Judeans had assimilated Cain's accursed race and other strangers precisely as our once Christian nations have done. They were also divided in numerous denominational groups of Pharisees, Sadducees, Herodians, Zealots, Essenes and what more; their understanding of God's unchanging Word filtered through contradictory man-made theologies was perverse. So when Christ's forerunner, the prophet John the Baptist, the 'Elijah' of Isaiah 40:1-4 and Malachi 3:1 introduced Messiah, his Message was rejected and he was beheaded. Hence their theology was not corrected and the people sought Messiah according to the script for His third Coming as a warrior general who would evict the Romans and restore the kingdom to Israel. But God promised them a Baby.
We must study the written Word of God to make our calling and election sure, and recognize "the present Truth," lest like Jewry we will be living through a rear view mirror, impersonating the Sardis Church Age like the Presbyterian, Anglican and Congregational churches, or the Philadelphian Age in which John Wesley added the revelation of sanctification for holiness to Martin Luther's Message of Justification by grace through faith, impersonated nowadays by the Methodists, Baptists, Nazarenes and Pilgrim Holiness. Or the Laodicean Church Age of the Pentecostals which ended the Reformation of the Judaeo-Roman Catholic system of false worship when the Lord added the revelation "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever": He still heals the sick, restores sight to the blind, raises the dead, speaks with other tongues and prophesies.
Those with eyes to see recognize we are at the end of the Gentile dispensation: the conditions that caused Israel to crucify the Lord the first time are repeating, and the same race that polluted the Israelites in Judea has destroyed our peoples by natural and spiritual hybridizing. Like Israelites of old, today's denominations are looking for Messiah, ignorant of the fact He must first send a prophet with warning and a way to escape the judgment and display a Supernatural sign in the sky.
Amos 3:6-8, "Shall a Trumpet sound an alarm in the city and the people not be afraid? [Like the Israelites, apostate church-going Gentiles are unconcerned by our 'Elijah's' warning of imminent judgment]. Shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord has not done it?" He is the Author of all the calamities which come upon the nations as foretold by His prophets. The evil of sin or unbelief in the revealed Word of God is from within ourselves; the evil of trouble is from God, Who raised up Nebuchadnezzar to destroy His Temple and take the Judeans to a lifetime of captivity just as He has raised up Judaeo-Communism to destroy the Great Whore of Judaeo-Roman Catholicism, and her (once) Protestant harlot daughters.
"Surely the Lord God will do nothing without first revealing His secret [purpose] unto His servants the prophets [who cannot but obey their Master]." God's Word comes first-hand ONLY to a prophet. A prophet is a sign of judgment. The apostle, evangelist, pastor and teacher and believers in general receive God's Word second-hand as it were through his Message. "The lion has roared, who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken, who can but prophesy? God has sent us a prophet in these last days: the 'Elijah' of Malachi 4:5, 6b, Matthew 17:11 and Revelation 10:7. His ministry was to restore the heart of God's elect back to the faith of their apostolic fathers, then "sin the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound [his Message], the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to His servants the prophets".
The ministry of William Branham (1909-1965) has fulfilled these Scriptures. Christ opened the Seven Seals and revealed them through His prophet. The opening of the Seven Seals in 1963 began "the time of the end" (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:1-7). His Message was "the midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6 which was the "shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16 confirmed by the heavenly Voice of Revelation 18:4 calling the wise and foolish virgins OUT from Rome and her daughters whose end is to be burned (Revelation 2:22-24; 6:8; 19:20-21).
God destroyed the world in the days of Noah because of miscegenation between the descendants of Cain and the children of Adam which is genocide to Adam's race because the offspring will be absent the Book of Life. Miscegenation is accursed of God from Genesis 1:11, 25. Jesus prophesied a repetition of this besetting sin now called by the deceptive euphemism 'miscegenation'; applauded by apostate churchmen blinded to the spiritual signs Jesus promised, and by self-seeking politicians (Genesis 6:1-4; Matthew 24:37-51; Revelation 3:17-20).
In the days of Lot the cities on the plain were in a Sodom condition and three angels in created flesh visited Abraham. Two went down to Sodom and saved Lot, his unbelieving wife and their unbelieving daughters. God veiled Himself behind the third and proved He was the Word by discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart (Genesis 18). "For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12). This very sign identified the virgin-born Man as Messiah (Matthew 9:1-6; John 1:42; 4:15-19). Our world is in Sodom (Revelation 11:8) and God has honoured the prophetic type in Luke 17:28-30 by sending three messengers: Billy Graham and Oral Roberts ministered a basic salvation Message to the churches in Sodom and veiled Himself behind the flesh of William Branham, a sinner-saved-by-grace. He ministered to those separated from the worldly churches and revealed "Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday, and today, and forever," discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart, restoring sight to the blind, speech and hearing to deaf and dumb mutes, and raising the dead as Jesus prophesied.
You know most ministers and Christians are unaware of these signs and are not looking for a prophet. They anticipate Christ's second Coming but like the Israelites they are so confused by man-made theology that they are looking for His third Coming or second physical return. However His precious feet will not touch this earth until after the consummation when He steps out on the nuclear ashes of the wicked with the glorified saints of all Ages (Malachi 4:1-3; Matthew 3:11-12). His second Coming was "as a thief in the night," not the physical (Gk.) 'erchomai' return denominational theologians teach, but His unseen (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming as Son of man whom the Revelation of the Seven Seals brought back to earth in W_O_R_D form through the mouth of His Prophet.
Like the Israelite denominations the Gentile denominations are deceived, "making the Word of God of none effect by their tradition" (Matthew 15:6). "Having tasted the good Word of God, and the powers of the world to come, then apostatizing, they cannot renew themselves again to repentance seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame" (Hebrews 6:5-6).
Our Scriptures teach us Christ's Body is built upon "the foundation of the apostles and prophets," and Christ can only quicken those who possess a clear understanding of the "present Truth" . . . the Message to their hour. We must know who we are, and our position in the Body. Consider the so-called Jews: history, their own statistics and DNA establish that the vast majority are not Israelites, or even Semites. Most are atheists, and Judaism is Pharisaism, the antithesis of Yahwism which was fulfilled 2,000 years ago: they are without compass. Denominational Christians are no better off as you will see when you click to enlarge this Scriptural diagram. It illustrates the Body of Christ, the different baptisms with the Spirit which built the Body, the prominent virtue displayed by the saints of each Church Age, its duration, and the names of the seven angels. In this our day we can see those divisions of the Body that are made up, the position of Christ's end-time Bride and the Message we must apprehend by faith in order to take our place in the Body.
You who call yourself Christian, do you know who you are and your place in the Body which is your part in God's Word? Have you made your calling and election sure? Are you in the faith of Jesus Christ, built on "the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the Chief Corner Stone," or is your confidence based on the psychology of mutual fellowship with fellow church members, a second-hand religion and man-made traditions?
Our subject is Easter, a word that appears once in the Bible. Acts 12:1-4, "Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the Church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread). And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people".
"Have you done your utmost to present yourself to God, a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth? (II Timothy 2:15). Acts 12:3-4 informs us that Passover in that particular year had come and gone; it was over! "Then were the days of unleavened bread," and the pagan Easter was approaching: after which Herod planned to bring out Peter. The King James Version is correct: Herod meant Easter, Ishtar, Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, (Nimrod's deified wife Semiramis) the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, not Passover.
The translators of the King James Version knew full well why in this passage they rendered the word 'Pascha' as 'Easter' and not 'Passover' as at other times. Their combined knowledge of Hebrew and Greek and the vast amount of manuscript evidence before them (thousands of copies, versions, and church-father citations) were all used to arrive at every word in the King James Version. This is another Scripture God employs to separate the wise virgins who have studied to show themselves approved unto God from the foolish virgins who are dilatory.
This is like Matthew 28:18-20, "And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, all power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. [Obviously Jesus is the One Person of God, the ALL-Mighty, manifest in virgin-born flesh to play the part of Kinsman Redeemer for Adam's fallen race "Life for life" which as the eternal Spirit He could not achieve]. Because of this, go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name [singular] of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, remember, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen".
Every day Israelites recite the Shema, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord" (Deuteronomy 6:4). Elect Israelites reading Matthew 28:18-20 would identify Jesus' command with the Shema understanding that "God has made the same Jesus they have crucified both Lord and Christ." That He is the One Person of God, not one of three or six or one and half a dozen of the other.
"Father" is not a name but an office or title He assumed when His first son Adam was formed on the seventh day (Genesis 2:5-7; Luke 3:38). "Son" is an office or title He assumed when Mary conceived and brought forth her firstborn son Jesus, which means Jehovah-Saviour who is called Emmanuel, which being interpreted is "God [ALL of God] with us." While "Holy Ghost" is WHAT God is: "God is one (1) Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). According to Matthew 1:18-20, Jesus' Father is the "Holy Ghost," so either Father is an office or title of God or He had two fathers and was an illegitimate child as the Jews insist, and non-elect much less Messiah.
The Bible is the story of God unfolding the Attributes of Himself or changing His form from the Eternal Holy Spirit alone with His thoughts to the flesh of His glorified Family. In Hebrews 7 we find God manifest in created flesh as Melchisedec, "this means King of righteousness, King of Salem which is King of Peace. Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life." Clearly there can be no such thing as an eternal fatherhood or eternal sonship. Father is one who begets and a son is one who was begotten. Jesus had (as is supposed) both father and mother; He had a time He was born and a time when He died, now He is alive evermore.
Those who "rightly divide the Word of Truth" will recognize this is precisely what Matthew was revealing to the elect. Isaiah 9:6-7 taught the same revelation seven hundred years before. If God is three persons, language has lost its meaning, and there are three gods which is Babylonian paganism.
Luke 24:46-49 records the same conversation as Matthew 29:18-20 saying, "That repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name [LORD JESUS CHRIST] among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." Luke wrote the Book of the Acts of the Apostles in which he notes that Matthew, Peter and Mary were among those born-again in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 1:13-14) and present when Peter addressed the multitude without, who implored: "Men and brethren, what must we do to be saved, we've killed the very Messiah? Peter said, everyone of you must repent and be baptized in the Name [singular] of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is to you [Israelites], and to your children [Israelites], and to all that are afar off [Gentiles], even as many as the Lord our God shall call [both Israelites and Gentiles]." And throughout the New Testament Christians were baptized in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12; 8:16; 10:48; Colossians 3:17).
No one was baptized in three titles until two and a half centuries after the deaths of the original apostles shortly before the Judaeo-Roman Universal church was organized in AD325 at the First Nicaea Council.
"The triune and trinity formula was not uniformly used from the beginning, and up until the third Century, baptism in the Name of Christ only was so widespread that Pope Stephen, in opposition to St. Cyprian, said that baptism in the Name of Christ was valid. But Catholic missionaries, by omitting one or more persons of the Trinity when they were baptized, were anathematized by the Roman Church. Now the formula of Rome is "I baptize thee in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost" (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition., Vol. 3, p. 365-366).
"Everywhere in the oldest sources, it states that Baptism took place in the Name of Jesus Christ" (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Vol. 3. p. 82).
"Whoever has received this sacrament bares indelible to all eternity the mark of Christ" (Ibid, Vol. 3, p. 84).
"The early church always baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus until the development of the Trinity doctrine in the 3rd Century; afterward they were baptized in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" (Canney Encyclopedia of Religion, p. 53).
"Persons were baptized at first in the Name of Jesus Christ, or 'in the Name of the Lord Jesus.' Afterwards, with the development of the doctrine of the Trinity, they were baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
"It must be acknowledged that the formula of the threefold name does not appear to have been employed by the primitive Church, which, so far as our information goes, baptized 'in' or 'into' the name of Jesus, or Jesus Christ (or the Lord Jesus), without reference to the Father or the Spirit" (Canney Encyclopedia of Religions, p. 53).
"The true doctrine of the sacrament of baptism is not taught by the Roman Church. Baptism given by heretics in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost with the intention of performing what the Church performs, is not true baptism" (Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. 2, p. 259).
"Catholics acknowledged that Baptism was changed by the Catholic Church" (Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. 2, p. 263).
The New Catholic Encyclopaedia on page 59 states that until the 11th Century, baptism throughout Christendom was by immersion according to Acts 2:38 and elsewhere in the Bible, and that it was not until after AD325 that sprinkling in three Titles was practiced.
"The original form of words were into the Name of Jesus Christ, or Lord Jesus. Baptism into the Trinity was a later development" (Dictionary of the Bible by Scripture, Vol, 1, p. 241).
"Christian Baptism was administered using the words "in the Name of Jesus." The use of a Trinity formula of any sort was not suggested in the early Church history. Baptism was always in the Name of the Lord Jesus until the time of Justin Martyr when Triune Formula was used" (Hastings Encyclopedia of Religion, Vol. 2, p. 377-378, 389).
"Name was an ancient synonym for "Person" (Numbers 1:18; Acts 1:15). Payment was always made in the name of some person referring to ownership. Therefore one being baptized in Jesus' Name became His personal property. "You are Christ's" (ibid, Vol. 2, p. 377 on Acts 2:38).
"The early Church always baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus until the development of the Trinity. Afterward they were baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost" (Hastings Dictionary of the Bible, p. 83).
It has been customary to trace the institution of the practice to the words of Christ in Matthew 28:19, but the authenticity of this passage has been challenged on historical as well as textural grounds. It must be acknowledged that the formula of the threefold name, which is here enjoined, does not appear to have been used by the primitive church, which so far as our information goes, baptized "in" or "into" the Name of Jesus, or Jesus Christ, or the Lord Jesus, without any reference to the Father or the Spirit" (Ibid, p. 88).
"The original form of words were into the Name of Jesus Christ or Lord Jesus. Baptism into the trinity was a later development" (Scribners Dictionary of the Bible, Vol. 1, p. 241).
"The term "Trinity" was originated by Tertullian, a Roman Catholic Church Father" (New International Encyclopedia. Vol. 22, p. 477).
"The term Trinity was used by Theophilus of Antioch in AD180" (Encyclopedia America, International Edit. Vol. 27, p. 116).
The trinity doctrine of the Catholic religion is this:
"We worship one in trinity, but there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost. The glory equal—the majesty co-eternal." The doctrine is not found in its fully developed form in the Scriptures. Modern theology does not seek to find it in the Old Testament. At the time of the Reformation, the Protestant Church took over the doctrine of the Trinity without serious examination" (New International Encyclopedia, Vol. 22, p. 476).
"The doctrine of the Trinity did not form part of the Apostles' preachings, as this is reported in the New Testament" (International Encyclopedia, 1st Edit. Vol. 18, p. 226).
"No record of the Trinitarian formula can be discovered in the Acts of the Apostles" (New International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Vol. 1, p. 396).
"The Catholics made this statement concerning their doctrine of the Trinity to defend the dogma of the assumption of Mary in an article by Graham Green: 'Our opponents sometimes claim that no belief should be held dogmatically which is not explicitly stated in the Scripture but the Protestant churches have themselves accepted such dogma as the Trinity for which there is no conformity in the Gospels'" (Life Magazine, October 30, 1950, Vol. 29, No. 18, p. 51).
Scriptural water baptism according to church leaders:
Martin Luther, "Baptism is a Greek word and may be translated 'Immerse.' I would have those who are to be baptized, to be altogether dipped".
John Calvin, "The word 'baptize' signifies to immerse. It is certain that immersion . . . was the practice of the Primitive Church".
John Wesley, "The Bible term, 'Buried with Him by baptism' alludes to the ancient manner of baptizing by immersion".
Wall, "Immersion was in all probability the way in which our blessed Saviour, and for certain, the way in which all early Christians were baptized".
Brenner, "For the first thirteen hundred years, baptism was an immersion of the person under water".
Stoudza, "The verb 'baptize' has only one meaning. It signifies to plunge. Baptism and immersion are identical. To say baptism by sprinkling would be to say immersion by sprinkling".
Jeremiah, "The ancients did not sprinkle the candidate, but immersed him".
Whitfield, "It is certain that the word 'buried' in the text, Romans 6:4, alludes to the matter of baptizing by immersion".
The True Oneness of the Godhead:
God revealed Himself in the Old Testament as:
II Peter 1:10-12, "Brethren, exert yourselves the more to confirm your calling and election . . . for so an entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be liberally provided for you. Therefore I will always remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in "the present Truth".
Now we cannot possibly be established in "the present Truth" of God's unchanging Word unless we are "walking in the Light Jesus is shining now," because we would be out of fellowship. "If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we are lying and not living according to the Truth: but if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light [not impersonating the glare of a day gone by], we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin [which is unbelief in His revealed Word]" (I John 1:6-7).
You see, like each one of us, God has a program, but His program was written before the foundation of the world and it can never change (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8). The eternal thoughts of God! Let me ask you "Are the thoughts of God eternal?" If you can see this, you will see many things. God is unchangeable in both essence and behavior. God is infinite in His abilities so therefore He as God must be omniscient. If He is omniscient, then He is not now learning, nor is He taking counsel even with Himself, nor is He at any time adding to His knowledge. If He can add to His knowledge, then He is not omniscient. But that is not Scriptural".
God's unchanging program was published in His Bible at the foundation of the world. Your own Bible tells you it was first written the stars, the Zodiac (Genesis 1:14; Psalm 19:4; 119:89). Secondly it was written in stone by Enoch who built the Great Pyramid of Giza before the Flood; it holds the same prophecies as His first Bible, and your Bible tells precisely the same story in paper and ink. Three is a witness, so God's Word cannot possibly change and must be fulfilled in its season as it is written.
There was a point when there was neither light nor darkness, atom or molecule, just the eternal Spirit alone with His thoughts, and He was lonely. Since the word "god" means object of worship and there was nothing to worship Him, he was only potentially God until He created angels, our theophanies.
The Bible is the story of God unfolding Himself or changing His form from the eternal Spirit alone with His thoughts to the flesh of His glorified Family. But that eternal Life could not, and would not, be shared in any other way than through "God manifest in the flesh." This was a part of His eternal and predestinated purpose. This plan was to be to the praise of the glory of His grace. It was the plan of Redemption. It was the plan of Salvation. God being a Saviour, it was necessary that He predestinate a man who would require salvation in order to give Himself reason and purpose of being. That is a hundred percent correct and multitudes of Scripture bear it out as does the very pointed verse of Romans 11:36, "For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are ALL THINGS: to Whom be GLORY forever. Amen."
Jesus said, "We must worship God in spirit and in Truth" (John 4:23). That is, by faith which is "the mind of God in you" by a clear understanding of His revealed Word. Now God's Word is Truth; without the Spirit "the letter killeth," but when the Spirit shines upon the Word it brings Light and understanding, which is faith. Anything less is religious ignorance.
We must know the Lord God experientially in order to worship Him in spirit and in Truth. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble" (Psalm 46:1). Through the knowledge of Him He gains glory to Himself when we are sick and have need of healing, for He is Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord that heals you by faith (Exodus 15:26; Matthew 4:23). Whenever we have a genuine need, whatever it might be call upon Him in faith, He is Jehovah-Jireh—the Lord will provide (Genesis 22:13-18; Matthew 14:15-21). When we exercise faith Jesus is able to manifest His Attributes and gather glory to Himself.
Those of us who are elect of God are on a journey that has taken us from His eternal thinking to natural birth on earth to love in the knowledge and admonition of Him to the second birth that of our soul, making us His children journeying back to eternity and eventually back to earth with Jesus and the saints of all Ages to dwell together through all eternity on a renewed heavens and renewed earth.
Throughout time those who are God's children have recognized their day and it's Message, becoming "written epistles" of the "present Truth." For almost fifteen hundred years Israelites observed the Passover, which is an event rather than a day, killing their paschal lamb at about three on the afternoon of Nisan 14, typing the sacrifice of Jesus Messiah, the last Adam, the propitiation for the sins of the first Adam and his race. Nisan 15 commenced at sunset that same evening after which the lamb was eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. The week of unleavened bread extended until Nisan 21. Daniel 9:26-27 foretold the year in which Israel's Kinsman Redeemer the true Lamb of God would be slaughtered.
For five hundred and seventy years every Israelite knew from Moses and Daniel the very year, month, day and hour in which with wicked hands they would kill their kinsman Redeemer. Like today's denominational Christians (so-called) they trusted the teachings of their kind old priest without searching the Scriptures to prove if those things were so, and without faith, they failed to recognize "the present Truth" of their day and its Message and rejected and murdered Messiah.
Note: "the things that the preacher is liable to teach yer, ain't necessarily so." In the Babylonian captivity their religious leaders cooked up what has become the Babylonian Talmud, a lewd antithesis to the Law and the Prophets. It taught the children of Israel how to evade the Law while maintaining the appearance of religious observance: Jesus said, "In vain do you worship Me teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Matthew 15:9).
Jesus was born near the end of the dispensation of the Law; the Judeans had assimilated Cain's accursed race and other strangers precisely as our once Christian nations have done. They were also divided in numerous denominational groups of Pharisees, Sadducees, Herodians, Zealots, Essenes and what more; their understanding of God's unchanging Word filtered through contradictory man-made theologies was perverse. So when Christ's forerunner, the prophet John the Baptist, the 'Elijah' of Isaiah 40:1-4 and Malachi 3:1 introduced Messiah, his Message was rejected and he was beheaded. Hence their theology was not corrected and the people sought Messiah according to the script for His third Coming as a warrior general who would evict the Romans and restore the kingdom to Israel. But God promised them a Baby.
We must study the written Word of God to make our calling and election sure, and recognize "the present Truth," lest like Jewry we will be living through a rear view mirror, impersonating the Sardis Church Age like the Presbyterian, Anglican and Congregational churches, or the Philadelphian Age in which John Wesley added the revelation of sanctification for holiness to Martin Luther's Message of Justification by grace through faith, impersonated nowadays by the Methodists, Baptists, Nazarenes and Pilgrim Holiness. Or the Laodicean Church Age of the Pentecostals which ended the Reformation of the Judaeo-Roman Catholic system of false worship when the Lord added the revelation "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever": He still heals the sick, restores sight to the blind, raises the dead, speaks with other tongues and prophesies. Those with eyes to see recognize we are at the end of the Gentile dispensation: the conditions that caused Israel to crucify the Lord the first time are repeating, and the same race that polluted the Israelites in Judea has destroyed our peoples by natural and spiritual hybridizing. Like Israelites of old, today's denominations are looking for Messiah, ignorant of the fact He must first send a prophet with warning and a way to escape the judgment and display a Supernatural sign in the sky.
Amos 3:6-8, "Shall a Trumpet sound an alarm in the city and the people not be afraid? [Like the Israelites, apostate church-going Gentiles are unconcerned by our 'Elijah's' warning of imminent judgment]. Shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord has not done it?" He is the Author of all the calamities which come upon the nations as foretold by His prophets. The evil of sin or unbelief in the revealed Word of God is from within ourselves; the evil of trouble is from God, Who raised up Nebuchadnezzar to destroy His Temple and take the Judeans to a lifetime of captivity just as He has raised up Judaeo-Communism to destroy the Great Whore of Judaeo-Roman Catholicism, and her (once) Protestant harlot daughters.
"Surely the Lord God will do nothing without first revealing His secret [purpose] unto His servants the prophets [who cannot but obey their Master]." God's Word comes first-hand ONLY to a prophet. A prophet is a sign of judgment. The apostle, evangelist, pastor and teacher and believers in general receive God's Word second-hand as it were through his Message. "The lion has roared, who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken, who can but prophesy? God has sent us a prophet in these last days: the 'Elijah' of Malachi 4:5, 6b, Matthew 17:11 and Revelation 10:7. His ministry was to restore the heart of God's elect back to the faith of their apostolic fathers, then "sin the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound [his Message], the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to His servants the prophets". The ministry of William Branham (1909-1965) has fulfilled these Scriptures. Christ opened the Seven Seals and revealed them through His prophet. The opening of the Seven Seals in 1963 began "the time of the end" (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:1-7). His Message was "the midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6 which was the "shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16 confirmed by the heavenly Voice of Revelation 18:4 calling the wise and foolish virgins OUT from Rome and her daughters whose end is to be burned (Revelation 2:22-24; 6:8; 19:20-21). God destroyed the world in the days of Noah because of miscegenation between the descendants of Cain and the children of Adam which is genocide to Adam's race because the offspring will be absent the Book of Life. Miscegenation is accursed of God from Genesis 1:11, 25. Jesus prophesied a repetition of this besetting sin now called by the deceptive euphemism 'miscegenation'; applauded by apostate churchmen blinded to the spiritual signs Jesus promised, and by self-seeking politicians (Genesis 6:1-4; Matthew 24:37-51; Revelation 3:17-20).
In the days of Lot the cities on the plain were in a Sodom condition and three angels in created flesh visited Abraham. Two went down to Sodom and saved Lot, his unbelieving wife and their unbelieving daughters. God veiled Himself behind the third and proved He was the Word by discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart (Genesis 18). "For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12). This very sign identified the virgin-born Man as Messiah (Matthew 9:1-6; John 1:42; 4:15-19). Our world is in Sodom (Revelation 11:8) and God has honoured the prophetic type in Luke 17:28-30 by sending three messengers: Billy Graham and Oral Roberts ministered a basic salvation Message to the churches in Sodom and veiled Himself behind the flesh of William Branham, a sinner-saved-by-grace. He ministered to those separated from the worldly churches and revealed "Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday, and today, and forever," discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart, restoring sight to the blind, speech and hearing to deaf and dumb mutes, and raising the dead as Jesus prophesied.
You know most ministers and Christians are unaware of these signs and are not looking for a prophet. They anticipate Christ's second Coming but like the Israelites they are so confused by man-made theology that they are looking for His third Coming or second physical return. However His precious feet will not touch this earth until after the consummation when He steps out on the nuclear ashes of the wicked with the glorified saints of all Ages (Malachi 4:1-3; Matthew 3:11-12). His second Coming was "as a thief in the night," not the physical (Gk.) 'erchomai' return denominational theologians teach, but His unseen (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming as Son of man whom the Revelation of the Seven Seals brought back to earth in W_O_R_D form through the mouth of His Prophet.
Like the Israelite denominations the Gentile denominations are deceived, "making the Word of God of none effect by their tradition" (Matthew 15:6). "Having tasted the good Word of God, and the powers of the world to come, then apostatizing, they cannot renew themselves again to repentance seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame" (Hebrews 6:5-6).
Our Scriptures teach us Christ's Body is built upon "the foundation of the apostles and prophets," and Christ can only quicken those who possess a clear understanding of the "present Truth" . . . the Message to their hour. We must know who we are, and our position in the Body. Consider the so-called Jews: history, their own statistics and DNA establish that the vast majority are not Israelites, or even Semites. Most are atheists, and Judaism is Pharisaism, the antithesis of Yahwism which was fulfilled 2,000 years ago: they are without compass. Denominational Christians are no better off as you will see when you click to enlarge this Scriptural diagram. It illustrates the Body of Christ, the different baptisms with the Spirit which built the Body, the prominent virtue displayed by the saints of each Church Age, its duration, and the names of the seven angels. In this our day we can see those divisions of the Body that are made up, the position of Christ's end-time Bride and the Message we must apprehend by faith in order to take our place in the Body. You who call yourself Christian, do you know who you are and your place in the Body which is your part in God's Word? Have you made your calling and election sure? Are you in the faith of Jesus Christ, built on "the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the Chief Corner Stone," or is your confidence based on the psychology of mutual fellowship with fellow church members, a second-hand religion and man-made traditions?
Our subject is Easter, a word that appears once in the Bible. Acts 12:1-4, "Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the Church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread). And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people".
"Have you done your utmost to present yourself to God, a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth? (II Timothy 2:15). Acts 12:3-4 informs us that Passover in that particular year had come and gone; it was over! "Then were the days of unleavened bread," and the pagan Easter was approaching: after which Herod planned to bring out Peter. The King James Version is correct: Herod meant Easter, Ishtar, Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, (Nimrod's deified wife Semiramis) the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, not Passover.
The translators of the King James Version knew full well why in this passage they rendered the word 'Pascha' as 'Easter' and not 'Passover' as at other times. Their combined knowledge of Hebrew and Greek and the vast amount of manuscript evidence before them (thousands of copies, versions, and church-father citations) were all used to arrive at every word in the King James Version. This is another Scripture God employs to separate the wise virgins who have studied to show themselves approved unto God from the foolish virgins who are dilatory.
This is like Matthew 28:18-20, "And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, all power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. [Obviously Jesus is the One Person of God, the ALL-Mighty, manifest in virgin-born flesh to play the part of Kinsman Redeemer for Adam's fallen race "Life for life" which as the eternal Spirit He could not achieve]. Because of this, go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name [singular] of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, remember, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen".
Every day Israelites recite the Shema, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord" (Deuteronomy 6:4). Elect Israelites reading Matthew 28:18-20 would identify Jesus' command with the Shema understanding that "God has made the same Jesus they have crucified both Lord and Christ." That He is the One Person of God, not one of three or six or one and half a dozen of the other.
"Father" is not a name but an office or title He assumed when His first son Adam was formed on the seventh day (Genesis 2:5-7; Luke 3:38). "Son" is an office or title He assumed when Mary conceived and brought forth her firstborn son Jesus, which means Jehovah-Saviour who is called Emmanuel, which being interpreted is "God [ALL of God] with us." While "Holy Ghost" is WHAT God is: "God is one (1) Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). According to Matthew 1:18-20, Jesus' Father is the "Holy Ghost," so either Father is an office or title of God or He had two fathers and was an illegitimate child as the Jews insist, and non-elect much less Messiah.
The Bible is the story of God unfolding the Attributes of Himself or changing His form from the Eternal Holy Spirit alone with His thoughts to the flesh of His glorified Family. In Hebrews 7 we find God manifest in created flesh as Melchisedec, "this means King of righteousness, King of Salem which is King of Peace. Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life." Clearly there can be no such thing as an eternal fatherhood or eternal sonship. Father is one who begets and a son is one who was begotten. Jesus had (as is supposed) both father and mother; He had a time He was born and a time when He died, now He is alive evermore.
Those who "rightly divide the Word of Truth" will recognize this is precisely what Matthew was revealing to the elect. Isaiah 9:6-7 taught the same revelation seven hundred years before. If God is three persons, language has lost its meaning, and there are three gods which is Babylonian paganism.
Luke 24:46-49 records the same conversation as Matthew 29:18-20 saying, "That repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name [LORD JESUS CHRIST] among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." Luke wrote the Book of the Acts of the Apostles in which he notes that Matthew, Peter and Mary were among those born-again in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 1:13-14) and present when Peter addressed the multitude without, who implored: "Men and brethren, what must we do to be saved, we've killed the very Messiah? Peter said, everyone of you must repent and be baptized in the Name [singular] of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is to you [Israelites], and to your children [Israelites], and to all that are afar off [Gentiles], even as many as the Lord our God shall call [both Israelites and Gentiles]." And throughout the New Testament Christians were baptized in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12; 8:16; 10:48; Colossians 3:17).
No one was baptized in three titles until two and a half centuries after the deaths of the original apostles shortly before the Judaeo-Roman Universal church was organized in AD325 at the First Nicaea Council.
"The triune and trinity formula was not uniformly used from the beginning, and up until the third Century, baptism in the Name of Christ only was so widespread that Pope Stephen, in opposition to St. Cyprian, said that baptism in the Name of Christ was valid. But Catholic missionaries, by omitting one or more persons of the Trinity when they were baptized, were anathematized by the Roman Church. Now the formula of Rome is "I baptize thee in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost" (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition., Vol. 3, p. 365-366).
"Everywhere in the oldest sources, it states that Baptism took place in the Name of Jesus Christ" (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Vol. 3. p. 82).
"Whoever has received this sacrament bares indelible to all eternity the mark of Christ" (Ibid, Vol. 3, p. 84).
"The early church always baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus until the development of the Trinity doctrine in the 3rd Century; afterward they were baptized in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" (Canney Encyclopedia of Religion, p. 53).
"Persons were baptized at first in the Name of Jesus Christ, or 'in the Name of the Lord Jesus.' Afterwards, with the development of the doctrine of the Trinity, they were baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
"It must be acknowledged that the formula of the threefold name does not appear to have been employed by the primitive Church, which, so far as our information goes, baptized 'in' or 'into' the name of Jesus, or Jesus Christ (or the Lord Jesus), without reference to the Father or the Spirit" (Canney Encyclopedia of Religions, p. 53).
"The true doctrine of the sacrament of baptism is not taught by the Roman Church. Baptism given by heretics in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost with the intention of performing what the Church performs, is not true baptism" (Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. 2, p. 259).
"Catholics acknowledged that Baptism was changed by the Catholic Church" (Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. 2, p. 263).
The New Catholic Encyclopaedia on page 59 states that until the 11th Century, baptism throughout Christendom was by immersion according to Acts 2:38 and elsewhere in the Bible, and that it was not until after AD325 that sprinkling in three Titles was practiced.
"The original form of words were into the Name of Jesus Christ, or Lord Jesus. Baptism into the Trinity was a later development" (Dictionary of the Bible by Scripture, Vol, 1, p. 241).
"Christian Baptism was administered using the words "in the Name of Jesus." The use of a Trinity formula of any sort was not suggested in the early Church history. Baptism was always in the Name of the Lord Jesus until the time of Justin Martyr when Triune Formula was used" (Hastings Encyclopedia of Religion, Vol. 2, p. 377-378, 389).
"Name was an ancient synonym for "Person" (Numbers 1:18; Acts 1:15). Payment was always made in the name of some person referring to ownership. Therefore one being baptized in Jesus' Name became His personal property. "You are Christ's" (ibid, Vol. 2, p. 377 on Acts 2:38).
"The early Church always baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus until the development of the Trinity. Afterward they were baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost" (Hastings Dictionary of the Bible, p. 83).
It has been customary to trace the institution of the practice to the words of Christ in Matthew 28:19, but the authenticity of this passage has been challenged on historical as well as textural grounds. It must be acknowledged that the formula of the threefold name, which is here enjoined, does not appear to have been used by the primitive church, which so far as our information goes, baptized "in" or "into" the Name of Jesus, or Jesus Christ, or the Lord Jesus, without any reference to the Father or the Spirit" (Ibid, p. 88).
"The original form of words were into the Name of Jesus Christ or Lord Jesus. Baptism into the trinity was a later development" (Scribners Dictionary of the Bible, Vol. 1, p. 241).
"The term "Trinity" was originated by Tertullian, a Roman Catholic Church Father" (New International Encyclopedia. Vol. 22, p. 477).
"The term Trinity was used by Theophilus of Antioch in AD180" (Encyclopedia America, International Edit. Vol. 27, p. 116).
The trinity doctrine of the Catholic religion is this:
"We worship one in trinity, but there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost. The glory equal—the majesty co-eternal." The doctrine is not found in its fully developed form in the Scriptures. Modern theology does not seek to find it in the Old Testament. At the time of the Reformation, the Protestant Church took over the doctrine of the Trinity without serious examination" (New International Encyclopedia, Vol. 22, p. 476).
"The doctrine of the Trinity did not form part of the Apostles' preachings, as this is reported in the New Testament" (International Encyclopedia, 1st Edit. Vol. 18, p. 226).
"No record of the Trinitarian formula can be discovered in the Acts of the Apostles" (New International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Vol. 1, p. 396).
"The Catholics made this statement concerning their doctrine of the Trinity to defend the dogma of the assumption of Mary in an article by Graham Green: 'Our opponents sometimes claim that no belief should be held dogmatically which is not explicitly stated in the Scripture but the Protestant churches have themselves accepted such dogma as the Trinity for which there is no conformity in the Gospels'" (Life Magazine, October 30, 1950, Vol. 29, No. 18, p. 51).
Scriptural water baptism according to church leaders:
Martin Luther, "Baptism is a Greek word and may be translated 'Immerse.' I would have those who are to be baptized, to be altogether dipped".
John Calvin, "The word 'baptize' signifies to immerse. It is certain that immersion . . . was the practice of the Primitive Church".
John Wesley, "The Bible term, 'Buried with Him by baptism' alludes to the ancient manner of baptizing by immersion".
Wall, "Immersion was in all probability the way in which our blessed Saviour, and for certain, the way in which all early Christians were baptized".
Brenner, "For the first thirteen hundred years, baptism was an immersion of the person under water".
Stoudza, "The verb 'baptize' has only one meaning. It signifies to plunge. Baptism and immersion are identical. To say baptism by sprinkling would be to say immersion by sprinkling".
Jeremiah, "The ancients did not sprinkle the candidate, but immersed him".
Whitfield, "It is certain that the word 'buried' in the text, Romans 6:4, alludes to the matter of baptizing by immersion".
The True Oneness of the Godhead:
God revealed Himself in the Old Testament as:
- Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord our Provider (Genesis 22:14)
Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord our Healer (Exodus 15:16)
Jehovah-Nissi, the Lord is our Banner (Exodus 17:15)
Jehovah-Shalom, the Lord is our Peace (Judges 6:24)
Jehovah-Raah, the Lord is my Shepherd (Psalms 23)
Jehovah-Tsidkenu, the Lord is our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:6), and
Jehovah-Shammah, the Lord is Present (Ezekiel 48:35).
But none of the Old Testament saints at any time implied from these Titles that God is a Sextet or double Trinity.
"Jehovah," means "the Self-existent One," not six; not even two or three. This one Lord of the Old Testament Who was many things to His people finally became our Saviour, manifesting all of these Attributes in "Jesus," Whose Name means "The Self-existent Saviour." "You shall call His Name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21 and Isaiah 45:15, 21). The great Jehovah became our Saviour and all God's fullness dwells in Him (Colossians 1:19; 2:9).
In the Old Testament, a new revelation on the Name of God or a different appearance (as in the burning bush) did not mean another God, but merely the One God revealing Himself to man. What better way could there have been for God to reveal His true nature and love for man than to prepare Himself a "body of flesh" to dwell among men (Hebrews 1:1-3).
Jesus is Prophet, Priest and King, Son of man, Son of God, Son of David, and Son of Abraham, not three persons or gods, but three distinct Offices reflecting dispensation claims at different times from His birth to the Millennium. We believe in three—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost—manifestations or dispensation claims of One God (Isaiah 41:4; Revelation 1:8, 17-18). The above excerpts were taken from Bible Believers' Newsletter 379).
Trinitarianism is unscriptural Babylonian paganism and is the Mark of the Beast that will once more be forced by the apostate churches during the Tribulation (Revelation 13:15-18). The Judaeo-Roman Catholic church introduced Easter into Christendom. Passover was fulfilled on the Day of Calvary 2,000 years ago. Neither Easter nor Passover are found in "the apostles' doctrine" (Acts 2:42). Neither Christmas nor Easter was recognized by the apostles and prophets or indeed anyone outside pagan circles until they were introduced by the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church after it organized in AD325. We cite quotations on these traditions by historian Alexander Hislop who's "The Two Babylons" uncovers the pagan roots of "MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH".
Alexander Hislop had this to say in his book, The Two Babylons: The festivals of Rome are innumerable; but five of the most important may be singled out for elucidation, viz., Christmas-day, Lady-day, Easter, the Nativity of St. John, and the Feast of the Assumption. Each and all of these can be proved to be Babylonian. And first, as to the festival in honour of the birth of Christ or Christmas, how comes it that that festival was connected with the 25th of December? There is not a word in the Scriptures about the precise day of His birth . . . it could not have been on the 25th of December. At the time that the angel announced His birth to the shepherds of Bethlehem, they were feeding their flocks by night in the open fields . . . the cold of the night, from December to February, is very piercing, and it was not the custom for the shepherds of Judea to watch their flocks in the open fields later than about the end of October . . . There is great unanimity among commentators on this point . . . At the birth of Christ every woman and child was to go to be taxed at the city whereto they belonged, whither some had long journeys; but the middle of winter was not fitting for such a business, especially for women with child, and children to travel in. Therefore, Christ could not be born in the depth of winter . . . remember the words of Christ in the gospel, "Pray that your flight be not in the winter . . ."
Then look at Easter . . . It is not a Christian name. It bears its Chaldean origin on its very forehead. Easter is nothing else than Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven, whose name, as pronounced by the people of Nineveh, was evidently identical with that now in common use in this country. That name, as found by Layard on the Assyrian monuments, is Ishtar. The worship of Bel and Astarte was very early introduced into Britain, along with the Druids, "the priests of the groves" . . . The forty days' abstinence of Lent was directly borrowed from the worshippers of the Babylonian goddess. Such a Lent of forty days, "in the spring of the year," is still observed by the Yezidis or Pagan Devil-worshippers of Kurdistan, who have inherited it from their early masters, the Babylonians . . . To conciliate the Pagans to nominal Christianity, Rome, pursuing its usual policy, took measures to get the Christian and Pagan festivals amalgamated, and, by a complicated but skilful adjustment of the calendar, it was found no difficult matter, in general, to get Paganism and Christianity—now far sunk in idolatry—in this as in so many other things, to shake hands . . . That Christians should ever think of introducing the Pagan abstinence of Lent was a sign of evil; it showed how low they had sunk, and it was also a cause of evil; it inevitably led to deeper degradation . . .
Such is the history of Easter. The popular observances that still attend the period of its celebration amply confirm the testimony of history as to its Babylonian character. The hot cross buns of Good Friday, and the dyed eggs of Pasch or Easter Sunday, figured in the Chaldean rites just as they do now. The "buns," known too by that identical name, were used in the worship of the queen of heaven, the goddess Easter, as early as the days of Cecrops, the founder of Athens—that is, 1,500 years before the Christian era . . . The hot cross buns are not now offered, but eaten, on the festival of Astarte; but this leaves no doubt as to whence they have been derived.
No scholar doubts the fact Easter is a pagan festival that came down from ancient times, long before the Christian era. The next question is: Did some Israelites keep Easter and worship the QUEEN OF HEAVEN? Did they bake hot cross buns for Ishtar—Easter? The answer, surprisingly, is again—yes! And modern Israelis still do. Ancient Israel worshipped the Queen of Heaven—ISHTAR and they honoured her each year with special cakes (buns) and drink offerings. Jeremiah 7:18, "The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger."
Jeremiah 44:18-25, "But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men? Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying, The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the Lord remember them, and came it not into his mind? So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the Lord, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day. Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows". (Alexander Hislop, The Two Babylons ISBN 0 7136 0470 0).
In revealing the Easter Truths we have crossed the trail of the Serpent and the tales he has told that that drew the third part of men from heaven, culminating in Israel's apostasy that day on Calvary he has multiplied over the past two thousand years through the synagogue of Satan. Through his Judaeo-Roman false church he has wrought chaos and death in "all the kingdoms of the world," is of course Papal Rome, the fourth and final Gentile World Empire. Satan has so thoroughly deceived the world it sees Rome and her harlot daughters as Christian churches when they are in fact the antichrist. They imagine Easter and Christian are historic Christian festivals when they are in fact pagan.
The vast majority of Christian ministers, scholars and congregants believe God is a trinity and that baptism is in three titles. Most people are ignorant of the distinction between the sons of Jacob/Israel and non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews, and few understand that the modern word "Jew" did not enter the Bible until the late eighteenth century and that it contradicts the meanings of the two words it has replaced. Satan and his helpers control our institutions of education, religion, entertainment, and media of all types, banking and finance with propaganda: BIG LIES. We are living by and dying for the aforementioned and other BIG LIES such as the holocaust of six million Jews in World War I, an extermination of a further six million between the wars, and yet another six million in World War I. Great men such as Adolf Hitler, Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Bashar al-Assad, Slobodan Miloševic and turned into scapegoats by Judas-Christians serving the 'Hidden Hand' in high office. nl971.htm

This one Lord of the Old Testament Who was many things to His people finally became our Saviour, manifesting all of these Attributes in "Jesus," Whose Name means "The Self-existent Saviour." "You shall call His Name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21 and Isaiah 45:15, 21).

Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows". (Alexander Hislop, The Two Babylons ISBN 0 7136 0470 0).
In revealing the Easter Truths we have crossed the trail of the Serpent and the tales he has told that that drew the third part of men from heaven, culminating in Israel's apostasy that day on Calvary he has multiplied over the past two thousand years through the synagogue of Satan. Through his Judaeo-Roman false church he has wrought chaos and death in "all the kingdoms of the world," is of course Papal Rome, the fourth and final Gentile World Empire. Satan has so thoroughly deceived the world it sees Rome and her harlot daughters as Christian churches when they are in fact the antichrist. They imagine Easter and Christian are historic Christian festivals when they are in fact pagan.
The vast majority of Christian ministers, scholars and congregants believe God is a trinity and that baptism is in three titles. Most people are ignorant of the distinction between the sons of Jacob/Israel and non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews, and few understand that the modern word "Jew" did not enter the Bible until the late eighteenth century and that it contradicts the meanings of the two words it has replaced. Satan and his helpers control our institutions of education, religion, entertainment, and media of all types, banking and finance with propaganda: BIG LIES. We are living by and dying for the aforementioned and other BIG LIES such as the holocaust of six million Jews in World War I, an extermination of a further six million between the wars, and yet another six million in World War I. Great men such as Adolf Hitler, Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Bashar al-Assad, Slobodan Miloševic and turned into scapegoats by Judas-Christians serving the 'Hidden Hand' in high office. nl971.htm
