Grim Middle East Reality. Permanent US Occupation. American Forces will Stay Indefinitely
January 14, 2019 — US forces came to Syria, Iraq, elsewhere in the region, and virtually everywhere else worldwide to stay. Bolton and Pompeo made similar comments on Syria, indicating no timeline for withdrawal. US forces will stay indefinitely—on the phony pretext of combating the scourge of ISIS Washington created and supports . . . Pompeo saying "America will not retreat until the terror fight is over" is code language for permanent occupation where US forces are deployed, notably in the Middle East. On Friday, Turkish defense minister Hulusi Akar said preparations are continuing "intensely" for attacking Kurdish YPG fighters in northern Syria, adding: Ankara is determined to combat them wherever they're located, while pretending opposition to jihadists in Syria the Erdogan regime supports . . .

Entering a Major Regional Re-set – Syria Outcome will haunt those who started this War
January 14, 2019 — "Indeed the Levant is returning to the centre of Middle East and world attention in a stronger position than in 2011. Syria has advanced precision missiles that can hit any building in Israel. Assad also has an air defence system he would have never dreamed of before 2011 —thanks to Israel's continuous violation of its airspace, and its defiance of Russian authority. Hezbollah has constructed bases for its long and medium range precision missiles in the mountains and has created a bond with Syria that it could never have established—if not for the war. Iran has established a strategic brotherhood with Syria, thanks to its role in defeating the regime change plan.
NATO's support for the growth of ISIS has created a bond between Syria and Iraq that no Muslim or Baathist link could ever have created: Iraq has a "carte blanche" to bomb ISIS locations in Syria without the consent of the Syrian leadership, and the Iraqi security forces can walk into Syria anytime they see fit to fight ISIS. The anti-Israel axis has never been stronger than it is today. That is the result of 2011-2018 war imposed on Syria"... Full story: strategic-culture.org

Is the US Planning to Wage War on Russia and China?
January 16, 2016 — There's a global military agenda . . . since 2001 we have had a whole sequence of military operations . . . invariably Washington has been behind the wars in Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Lebanon, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and . . . Ukraine. . .
Coupled with this are military plans to attack Russia and China with nuclear weapons . . . these military plans are in the public domain . . . coupled with trade wars, financial warfare sanctions . . . Pakistan and India are now full members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which is the equivalent of NATO for the Russians and the Chinese . . . the conflict between Pakistan and India is no longer under the helm of Britain or the United States because [they] would have to resolve the border differences within the framework of the SCO . . . Saudi Arabia is seeking some rapprochement with Russia . . . the United States wants to undermine through regime change . . . Chinese influence is not only in the Asia Pacific region; it extends into Africa . . . former colonies of Western countries and all of a sudden, the Chinese come in and start building bridges and roads.
Russian military technology is advancing very rapidly and in a very specific way which undermines the global military agenda and China is now leading, in terms of technology . . . The Chinese are way ahead . . . declassified documents confirm that the atomic bomb had been developed for use against the Soviet Union . . . Japan . . . simply a dress rehearsal for the broader development of the nuclear weapons program? . . . on September 15, 1945, there was a plan to blow up something of the order of 66 major urban areas in the Soviet Union with a total of 204 atomic bombs . . . the Soviets had word of this plan as early as 1942 . . . the Manhattan Project was launched in 1939, two years prior to America's entry into World War II, in December 1941 . . . The arms race occurred as a result of a secret plan dated September 1945, which had already been prepared during World War II against the Soviet Union when both countries were allies . . . Hitler [the sole WWII leader with moral principles, and perhaps the sole non-Jewish leader] was against it, for some ideological reason. But it's unclear as to whether Germany would have been a target . . .
Rand Corporation is a sort of semi-government independent research entity which acts on behalf of a US government entity. In this case it was the US Army which commissioned a report . . . called, "War with China: Thinking Through the Unthinkable" . . . with a conclusion that we're going to win it. That's diabolical and it's criminal. What has China done to the sovereignty of the United States? It's a hegemonic project to go in and blow up China . . . more recently there's been another project . . . waging a war against Russia and China . . . is currently being discussed by the US Congress.
2019 will have several countervailing processes . . . a $1.2 trillion nuclear weapons program is ultimately the source of potential destruction leading to the unthinkable . . . all these NGOs are funded by corporate foundations, we have colour revolutions—dissent is funded and it's manufactured . . .

Comment: Is not the United States "the image unto the beast" of Imperial Rome (Revelation 13:15-18) as the apostate (once) Protestant churches are the image unto Papal Rome? Look in the mirror. Under the "free and open international order" promoted since 1945 by the United States has cost the lives of 20 to 30 million people throughout the world. The 'usual suspect' is working under a another name and in a different occupation (Genesis 3:15).

China's Nightmare: B-2 Stealth Bombers deployed to Hawaii
January 14, 2019 — The US Air Force is putting China on notice as it announced Friday a new deployment of three B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to Hawaii for training in the Pacific . . . Deploying to Hawaii enables us to showcase to a large American and international audience that the B-2 is on watch 24 hours a day, seven days a week . . . The Air Force statement further touted the B-2's ability to "penetrate an enemy's most sophisticated defenses," as well as "put at risk their most valuable targets" due to its "low-observable, or stealth, characteristics" . . . the bombers "helped ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific" . . .

DARPA wants Mind Control Tech for Super Soldiers
January 16, 2019 — Japan is a nuclear power with the world's sixth most powerful "Self Defence Force" military and sufficient plutonium to manufacture 6,000 bombs, thanks to an illegal deal with the post-WWII US Administration. When the government, defense contractors and tech giants team up to create the next generation of military technology, who wins and who loses? We are witnessing the rise of the Money Power's super soldiers. City of London, Vatican City State, Washington DC sovereign City State: RFID-dependent driverless vehicles will bring everyone and everything under surveillance, subjugation and potentially, absolute control.

Benefiting Israel tops US Congressional Agenda
January 15, 2019 — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu famously was unaware that he was being filmed when he commented that "America is a thing you can move very easily, moved in the right direction." His predecessor Ariel Sharon was even more to the point when he reportedly said "Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . don't worry about American pressure; I tell you, we, the Jewish people, control America and the American people know it!"
If this were only chest thumping rhetoric one might just shrug and go about one's business, but actions speak louder than words, even in the world of corrupt politicians, where nothing is ever as it seems to be. In the past year alone, the US government has moved its Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, stopped criticizing the Netanyahu government's expansion of illegal settlements, and is reportedly currently contemplating recognizing as legal Israel's illegal occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights. All the moves were and are contrary to actual American interests.
Furthermore, Israel, a country having a European level standard of living to include free education and medical care, has received more than $250 billion in "aid" from Washington. It currently is receiving $3.8 billion yearly from the US Treasury as a base figure guaranteed for ten years, with supplements for special projects and programs. Adding in trade arrangements favourable to Israel and the money it gets from American Jewish donors' tax-exempt contributions, the real total per annum approaches and may even exceed $10 billion. Much of the donor money, including that from the Kushner Foundation, has gone to fund the illegal settlements on the West Bank in violation of US law. And then there is the $2.7 billion given yearly to Egypt and Jordan, essentially bribes to maintain friendly relations with Israel.
The ultimate irony is that any aid to Israel is illegal in light of the fact that it has violated the Symington and Glenn amendments to the 1961 Foreign Assistance Act due to its undeclared nuclear weapons arsenal and its refusal to sign the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty. Both Congress and the White House have chosen to ignore that complication, one more demonstration of Jewish power in the United States. In truth, Ariel Sharon, if he was quoted correctly, had it right. Jewish Americans do control or at least exercise considerable influence over key sectors in the US They are overwhelmingly disproportionately present on Wall Street, in the entertainment and news industries, in academia, in high value professions and in government at all levels. Their collective power both enriches and protects Israel at the expense of the US taxpayer and genuine national interests. It also enables Israeli agents in the US, like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), to avoid scrutiny and regulation under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 . . .

Ten Reasons for Australia to Exit Paris NOW
- The science is NOT settled—thousands of scientists thousands throughout the world reject the theory that human production of carbon dioxide is driving dangerous global warming. The 102 computerised climate models have always predicted more warming than has occurred. (They got it right once, 39 years ago).
- There is no unusual global warming. Since the last ice age ended there have been warm eras hotter than today's modern warming—the warm peaks are getting lower, not higher . . .
- Carbon dioxide is NOT a pollutant—it is an invisible natural gas that supplies the whole food chain. More carbon dioxide is beneficial . . .
- The populous world nations are unlikely to curb their CO2 emissions . . .

The Donald Trump Jewish Temple Prophecy
August 21, 2018 — The Mikdash Educational Center said the "Temple Coin" features Trump alongside King Cyrus, who 2,500 years ago allowed Jews to return to Jerusalem from their exile in Babylon. The Trump coin is likely to rile Iranians, who uniformly respect King Cyrus as an ancient Persian hero.
Rabbi Mordechai Persoff of the Israeli group, which also holds activities in the US, said that Trump, like Cyrus, made a "big declaration that Jerusalem is the capital of the holy people." His organization minted 1,000 biblical half-shekel coins that can be purchased with a minimum donation of $50. The coin cannot be used as currency.
Trump's December 6 declaration recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and announcing plans to relocate the embassy there was met with Israeli praise and international condemnation. That same month the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly passed a resolution condemning the administration's move and calling on countries not to move their diplomatic missions to the city. But on Friday, the US State Department notified Congress that the Jerusalem embassy would open in May to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Israel's independence, speeding up the process by converting a building currently housing consular services into the embassy.

One Year
Joel 2:16, 23, "Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and nursing infants: let the Bridegroom go forth of His chamber, and the Bride out of her closet . . . Rejoice, you children of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God [for all things will be restored for your sakes (Acts 3:13-26)]: for He has given you the former [(Heb.) 'Moreh' or teaching] rain unto righteousness [which Israel rejected two thousand years ago]: He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former [teaching] rain, and [for Christ's end-time Bride] the latter [(Heb.) 'yowreh,' sprinkling or harvest] rain in the first month" [Nisan as typed by Matthew 27:50-53)]. There is a teaching rain and a harvest rain. Our teaching rain has restored the apostolic faith by revealing the mystery of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10 which are the revelations contained in the unwritten Seventh Seal (Joel 2:23; Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 17:11; Revelation 8:1; 10:1-11). Our harvest rain will endue the saints to manifest the Sons of God and change in the atoms, then anoint Israel's two Prophets as a former or teaching rain, "bring the Law to remembrance," expound the mysteries of their Seven Trumpets and Seven Vials, and introduce 144,000 elect Israelites to the second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man (Malachi 4:4; Zechariah 4; Daniel 9:24; Revelation 11:3-13).
"The Spoken Word is the original seed" (Luke 8:11). The ground has been sown and watered by Brother Branham's Message which is why one seldom finds ground that has not been sown. Remember, my Brothers and Sisters, God is only fishing for the rainbow trout; all other fish are thrown back into the stream. Brother Branham's Message is the "former" or teaching rain of the Spirit that quickened the seed planted in the hearts of Christ's end-time Bride. Just before our ripening a fresh outpouring called the "latter" or harvest rain will anoint the multiplied seed with the mighty power God wrought in Jesus Christ so we can manifest that we are the Sons of God (Ephesians 1:3-23).
In 1965 Brother Branham said, "We're hoping soon as possible to make a way where we can bring all of us together, maybe under a big tent, where I'm feeling real definitely led to preach on the seven last Vials in the Bible" (The Anointed Ones at the End Time, p. 2:7-15). We will not be brought together under canvas but under cover of His Word "in one mind in the unity of the faith" as on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1; Ephesians 1:10-23; 4:13-16).
The Prophet was expecting to declare, "It is done!" (Revelation 16:17) and "proclaim the Day of vengeance of our God" (Isaiah 61:2b; Malachi 4:5; Revelation 15:1; 16:17; 11:19), because after each dispensation a Vial poured a plague upon the non-elect Church as a "temporary" or "investigation Judgment" to distinguish the "foolish virgins" from the false church. And all seven plagues must be fulfilled before the resurrection can take place.
In Newsletter 1053 he explained how Christ's end-time Bride would ripen to maturity under the S_O_N-Light of the Message over one year prior to the end of the dispensation. "As soon as He gets His Church in speaking conditions, gets His Church to a place that He can flow Himself through, and love, and persuade, and fellowship, [for the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God] then there'll come a Eden. He'll take His Church back to where it left Him at back to an Eden again (What was the Holy Ghost Given For? p. 42:30-32).
When God has stretched His tent over the last member of Christ's end-time Bride, the Sixth Seal will manifest, the Seventh Trumpet will sound, he will pour his Seventh Vial on the false church his Message has indicted. The first resurrection, manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation will take place, then the mystery of the Seven Trumpets and Seven Vials will be preached for elect Israelites by two prophets to show that Jesus is no respecter of persons and "has concluded the Gentiles in unbelief as He had shut up the Israelites in unbelief, that He might show mercy to all" (Romans 11:32; Galatians 3:22).
Speaking in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1956, he said "Coming back, we want to make arrangement, if the Lord willing, about a year ahead of time, and get everything in order for a good four to six weeks' revival [forty days from the end of the Christian dispensation to our ascension] under a big tent, if the Lord willing" (#56-0428, God's Covenant with Abraham; Acts 13:3; I Thessalonians 4:16c-18). Think about that!
"The heavenly Father . . . by a vision He told me about a tent that Brother Moore and them is going to California now to see to set in order the first time. They will put a little place there where we can pray for the people, and I can get away from the people just a minute so that I won't feel that pull when I'm praying. That's what makes me weak" (#56-0801, The Arrow of God's Deliverance shot from a Bow).
"I have promised to me, to start a nice big, new tent, trucks, trailers, and everything all paid for . . . Then I aim to do what I've always promised: set the tent in a community where there's no revivals, and everybody cooperating, and have a morning meeting just for minister brethren, talk to them, an afternoon meeting for instruction for the healing of the sick, and then the night service, an evangelistic service. And then let off every Sunday afternoon, and so forth, where the other churches are having meetings. We won't interrupt with the regular meeting of the community. And we always wanted to do that. And then stay for a while . . . The people don't get the idea how to be healed. They don't understand it, and just the first time in. And then if we teach it, and go into it in studies and so forth, I'm sure it would help us all . . ." (#62-0728, God has a Provided Way).
While the Brethren were confusing the natural for the Supernatural, the vision spoke of God's people gathering under the covering, tent or habitation of His revealed Word one year before the end of the Christian dispensation, to ripen in preparation for the 'third pull' during the manifestation of the Sons of God and "healing" by bodily renewal in glorified flesh (Isaiah 30:26; Jeremiah 33:8; Malachi 4:1-3).
"You remember the vision that come the morning we laid the cornerstone there, when He said, "This is not your tabernacle." But He set me under the skies, and told me different things that would take place . . . I saw a large tent [the worldwide Church of the end-time]. Oh, it was a mammoth, big affair. And I'd just been speaking, and many souls were at the altar, and were just kindly weeping with their hands up, quietly, and softly. A nice gentle-spoken man came out to the platform and said, "Now, they will form the prayer line, while Brother Branham's making ready." And I was standing that way . . . Of course the prayer line would been to my left. And I noticed a crowd of people, that seemed to cover a city block or more, that was standing in line.
There was a little building, wooden building, [the Ark of the Covenant that held the tables of Law—a type of Jesus Christ; it represents the heart of man where Christ the revealed Word abides]. Ezekiel 36:26-27, "A new heart also will I give you, and a new Spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My judgments, and do them." We are inside this tent, our hearts filled by revelation of the "third pull," the fullness of the revealed Word, the one Place God will meet man (Deuteronomy 16:5-6; Isaiah 66:3; Revelation 4:1; 11:19; 15:5]. And there was a woman, standing there or man one, taking names. And people were going in on crutches, and stretchers, and coming out the other side, walking. Well, I wondered what all had taken place in there. And then that Angel of the Lord, Whose picture you see here, It went from me, and went right over that little building, and stood there, and then went down. And a voice spoke and said, "I'll meet you in that place" (#58-1001, Lifting Him out of History).
"This One that was standing by me, behind me, the same voice, the Angel's voice, (Revelation 1:10; 12; 4:1), He said, "I'll meet you in there, and this is the 'third pull,' but nobody will know nothing about it." [Because it's a revelation].
And I said, "Well, I don't understand why in there. Why there?"
He said, "It will not be a public show this time."
And I said, "I don't understand going into that closet, like that."
And He said, "Is not it written by our Lord, "when thou prayest, be not like the hypocrites who like to be heard before men, but enter into the secret closet and pray to the Father Who seeth in secret, and He Who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly?" It's perfectly to the Scripture; every time it is.
And I said, "I understand." [It's a revelation].
Then He took me to this place and set me down in this room where I was at, and then He told me what to do for the third time" (What is a Vision, p. 18:133-137).
Customarily there was one year of preparation for women entering a harem, one year of betrothal before marriage, and one year's exemption from military service for a newly married man (Esther 2:12; Deuteronomy 20:7; 24:5). This explains the one year betrothal of the ragged girl, Christ's end-time Bride, whose heart Jesus won despite advances from her denominational cousins. Please read the annotated transcript of Brother Branham's parable in I got Five More Minutes".
Under the Law "a man living in a walled city had one year in which to redeem his non-Levitical dwelling house, after which it shall be established forever to him that bought it throughout his generations; it shall not go out in the jubilee" (Leviticus 25:23-30). Walled cities type denominations; those who ignore the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6 which was the "shout" of Brother Branham's Message (I Thessalonians 4:16) waking the sleeping virgins and introducing Christ's second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming will never hear the revelation again. Their ear has been "pierced through with an aul" (Exodus 21:6; Deuteronomy 15:17; Titus 3:10-11). His Message was echoed by the heavenly Voice of Revelation 18:4 calling them OUT from Rome and her apostate (once) Protestant daughter churches "into the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation" (Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 15:50-58).
I have testified to many who have "heard the Word and immediately received it with joy," but neglecting to submit to that revelation what faith they had is taken from them and they will never receive the revelation again (Matthew 13:20; Luke 19:26; Hebrews 3:15).
On a personal note, before I became a Christian I used to attend a charismatic prayer meeting on the first Saturday of the month. One morning a certain Brother spoke in unknown tongues and his wife gave the interpretation with words to the effect, "I will not come this way again. I am making a quick work and a short work. Come out from your walled cities. Come out! Come out! Do not delay, I will not come this way again"!
I had long been seeking what we now recognize as "the present Truth." I understood the instruction that was translated and knew the churches must end in apostasy, and that God had promised to send a prophet so I made my decision to obey not knowing what I should do. However, shortly after this experience I was introduced to the Message of God's vindicated Prophet.
Brother Branham explained, "We cannot receive the promised Son that's promised us today in these bodies that we live in; these bodies are sin.
This first conscience controls this body with see, taste, feel, smell, and hear, and it's just got us all scrupled up; we reason and everything else. But that new body that comes from this borned again (not this first conscience, [or mortal spirit], it'll pass away). . . It's that inside something that lives. Everybody understand it say, "Amen."
It's not this outside see, taste, feel, smell, and hear. It isn't. It's subject to death and will die, but the inside part of you [your soul], down in here, inside, that is the person that cannot die. See? And that's the person that the new life starts from, from this new birth; and it builds another person in the image of this person you are, around that life. You get it?
So potentially it's in here, and what is it? The Word promised before the foundation of the world. And around there, this only reflects the negative; that will reflect the positive, the Word. See? And the translation of the Bride will be the same thing. The Word that's in you, the body will materialize around that Word, and the same thing did by Sarah.
When that old body that she had, that first body, it had to be changed in order to produce a son. You get it? That body could not do it. This body cannot do it, so it'll have to be changed the same way to receive the Son" (COD, p. 1114:246-250).
"Notice the harmony of the Father and the Son. Jesus never did anything until it was first showed Him by the Father (John 5:19). This harmony is now to exist between the Groom and His Bride. He shows her His Word of Life. She receives it. She never doubts it. Therefore, nothing can harm her, not even death. For if the seed be planted, the water will raise it up again. Here is the secret of this. The Word is in the Bride (as it was in Mary). The Bride has the mind of Christ for she knows what He wants done with the Word. She performs the command of the Word in His Name for she has "thus saith the Lord." Then the Word is quickened by the Spirit and it comes to pass. Like a seed that is planted and watered, it comes to full harvest, serving its purpose."
"Those in the Bride do only His will. No one can make them do otherwise. They have "thus saith the Lord" or they keep still. They know that it has to be God in them doing the works, fulfilling His own Word. He did not complete all His work while in His earthly ministry so now He works in and through the Bride" (Colossians 1:24).
"She knows that, for it was not yet time for Him to do certain things that He must now do. But He will now fulfil through the Bride that work which He left for this specific time" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 172:3-5).
Speaking of the 'third pull' in the Bride, Brother Branham said, "Now, that great gift. . . Others I tried to explain and say how it was done. This can't be explained. Just wait. It will not be in operation so perfectly now. Wait till that Council of Churches brings on that persecution; that's when it'll happen. That's the reason I come back among you to pray for the sick. I have never had but one thing that He ever told me in my life that I know that hasn't happened yet, that some sort of a building or a tent where there'd be a little building setting, and I'd have to go into that and pray for the sick (Malachi 4:1-2; Revelation 22:2). That hasn't happened yet as far as I know. That's the only thing that I know" (His Unfailing Words of Promise, p 17:138). The natural is still being conflated with the Spiritual.
"Oh, brother, give me a Church full of the Holy Ghost. God will do in one year what all theology's failed to do in two thousand years. [This one year will be before the close of the dispensation. The Council of Churches will not exert their power until after Russia has invaded and garrisoned mainland USA]. You wait till the anointing of the Church really strikes home to that faithful the little remnant. After the doors of the Gentiles is closed, oh, God will anoint a Church then. "He who's filthy, let him be filthy still. He who's righteous let him be righteous still, and he who's holy let him be holy still." And God will anoint the church with the power of God, and things will be taken place. Not only that then, but He's doing it now" (COD, p. 145:203). nl1054.htm
"The Spoken Word is the original seed" (Luke 8:11). The ground has been sown and watered by Brother Branham's Message which is why one seldom finds ground that has not been sown. Remember, my Brothers and Sisters, God is only fishing for the rainbow trout; all other fish are thrown back into the stream. Brother Branham's Message is the "former" or teaching rain of the Spirit that quickened the seed planted in the hearts of Christ's end-time Bride. Just before our ripening a fresh outpouring called the "latter" or harvest rain will anoint the multiplied seed with the mighty power God wrought in Jesus Christ so we can manifest that we are the Sons of God (Ephesians 1:3-23).
In 1965 Brother Branham said, "We're hoping soon as possible to make a way where we can bring all of us together, maybe under a big tent, where I'm feeling real definitely led to preach on the seven last Vials in the Bible" (The Anointed Ones at the End Time, p. 2:7-15). We will not be brought together under canvas but under cover of His Word "in one mind in the unity of the faith" as on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1; Ephesians 1:10-23; 4:13-16).
The Prophet was expecting to declare, "It is done!" (Revelation 16:17) and "proclaim the Day of vengeance of our God" (Isaiah 61:2b; Malachi 4:5; Revelation 15:1; 16:17; 11:19), because after each dispensation a Vial poured a plague upon the non-elect Church as a "temporary" or "investigation Judgment" to distinguish the "foolish virgins" from the false church. And all seven plagues must be fulfilled before the resurrection can take place.
In Newsletter 1053 he explained how Christ's end-time Bride would ripen to maturity under the S_O_N-Light of the Message over one year prior to the end of the dispensation. "As soon as He gets His Church in speaking conditions, gets His Church to a place that He can flow Himself through, and love, and persuade, and fellowship, [for the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God] then there'll come a Eden. He'll take His Church back to where it left Him at back to an Eden again (What was the Holy Ghost Given For? p. 42:30-32).
When God has stretched His tent over the last member of Christ's end-time Bride, the Sixth Seal will manifest, the Seventh Trumpet will sound, he will pour his Seventh Vial on the false church his Message has indicted. The first resurrection, manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation will take place, then the mystery of the Seven Trumpets and Seven Vials will be preached for elect Israelites by two prophets to show that Jesus is no respecter of persons and "has concluded the Gentiles in unbelief as He had shut up the Israelites in unbelief, that He might show mercy to all" (Romans 11:32; Galatians 3:22).
Speaking in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1956, he said "Coming back, we want to make arrangement, if the Lord willing, about a year ahead of time, and get everything in order for a good four to six weeks' revival [forty days from the end of the Christian dispensation to our ascension] under a big tent, if the Lord willing" (#56-0428, God's Covenant with Abraham; Acts 13:3; I Thessalonians 4:16c-18). Think about that!
"The heavenly Father . . . by a vision He told me about a tent that Brother Moore and them is going to California now to see to set in order the first time. They will put a little place there where we can pray for the people, and I can get away from the people just a minute so that I won't feel that pull when I'm praying. That's what makes me weak" (#56-0801, The Arrow of God's Deliverance shot from a Bow).
"I have promised to me, to start a nice big, new tent, trucks, trailers, and everything all paid for . . . Then I aim to do what I've always promised: set the tent in a community where there's no revivals, and everybody cooperating, and have a morning meeting just for minister brethren, talk to them, an afternoon meeting for instruction for the healing of the sick, and then the night service, an evangelistic service. And then let off every Sunday afternoon, and so forth, where the other churches are having meetings. We won't interrupt with the regular meeting of the community. And we always wanted to do that. And then stay for a while . . . The people don't get the idea how to be healed. They don't understand it, and just the first time in. And then if we teach it, and go into it in studies and so forth, I'm sure it would help us all . . ." (#62-0728, God has a Provided Way).
While the Brethren were confusing the natural for the Supernatural, the vision spoke of God's people gathering under the covering, tent or habitation of His revealed Word one year before the end of the Christian dispensation, to ripen in preparation for the 'third pull' during the manifestation of the Sons of God and "healing" by bodily renewal in glorified flesh (Isaiah 30:26; Jeremiah 33:8; Malachi 4:1-3).
"You remember the vision that come the morning we laid the cornerstone there, when He said, "This is not your tabernacle." But He set me under the skies, and told me different things that would take place . . . I saw a large tent [the worldwide Church of the end-time]. Oh, it was a mammoth, big affair. And I'd just been speaking, and many souls were at the altar, and were just kindly weeping with their hands up, quietly, and softly. A nice gentle-spoken man came out to the platform and said, "Now, they will form the prayer line, while Brother Branham's making ready." And I was standing that way . . . Of course the prayer line would been to my left. And I noticed a crowd of people, that seemed to cover a city block or more, that was standing in line.
There was a little building, wooden building, [the Ark of the Covenant that held the tables of Law—a type of Jesus Christ; it represents the heart of man where Christ the revealed Word abides]. Ezekiel 36:26-27, "A new heart also will I give you, and a new Spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My judgments, and do them." We are inside this tent, our hearts filled by revelation of the "third pull," the fullness of the revealed Word, the one Place God will meet man (Deuteronomy 16:5-6; Isaiah 66:3; Revelation 4:1; 11:19; 15:5]. And there was a woman, standing there or man one, taking names. And people were going in on crutches, and stretchers, and coming out the other side, walking. Well, I wondered what all had taken place in there. And then that Angel of the Lord, Whose picture you see here, It went from me, and went right over that little building, and stood there, and then went down. And a voice spoke and said, "I'll meet you in that place" (#58-1001, Lifting Him out of History).
"This One that was standing by me, behind me, the same voice, the Angel's voice, (Revelation 1:10; 12; 4:1), He said, "I'll meet you in there, and this is the 'third pull,' but nobody will know nothing about it." [Because it's a revelation].
And I said, "Well, I don't understand why in there. Why there?"
He said, "It will not be a public show this time."
And I said, "I don't understand going into that closet, like that."
And He said, "Is not it written by our Lord, "when thou prayest, be not like the hypocrites who like to be heard before men, but enter into the secret closet and pray to the Father Who seeth in secret, and He Who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly?" It's perfectly to the Scripture; every time it is.
And I said, "I understand." [It's a revelation].
Then He took me to this place and set me down in this room where I was at, and then He told me what to do for the third time" (What is a Vision, p. 18:133-137).
Customarily there was one year of preparation for women entering a harem, one year of betrothal before marriage, and one year's exemption from military service for a newly married man (Esther 2:12; Deuteronomy 20:7; 24:5). This explains the one year betrothal of the ragged girl, Christ's end-time Bride, whose heart Jesus won despite advances from her denominational cousins. Please read the annotated transcript of Brother Branham's parable in I got Five More Minutes".
Under the Law "a man living in a walled city had one year in which to redeem his non-Levitical dwelling house, after which it shall be established forever to him that bought it throughout his generations; it shall not go out in the jubilee" (Leviticus 25:23-30). Walled cities type denominations; those who ignore the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6 which was the "shout" of Brother Branham's Message (I Thessalonians 4:16) waking the sleeping virgins and introducing Christ's second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming will never hear the revelation again. Their ear has been "pierced through with an aul" (Exodus 21:6; Deuteronomy 15:17; Titus 3:10-11). His Message was echoed by the heavenly Voice of Revelation 18:4 calling them OUT from Rome and her apostate (once) Protestant daughter churches "into the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation" (Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 15:50-58).
I have testified to many who have "heard the Word and immediately received it with joy," but neglecting to submit to that revelation what faith they had is taken from them and they will never receive the revelation again (Matthew 13:20; Luke 19:26; Hebrews 3:15).
On a personal note, before I became a Christian I used to attend a charismatic prayer meeting on the first Saturday of the month. One morning a certain Brother spoke in unknown tongues and his wife gave the interpretation with words to the effect, "I will not come this way again. I am making a quick work and a short work. Come out from your walled cities. Come out! Come out! Do not delay, I will not come this way again"!
I had long been seeking what we now recognize as "the present Truth." I understood the instruction that was translated and knew the churches must end in apostasy, and that God had promised to send a prophet so I made my decision to obey not knowing what I should do. However, shortly after this experience I was introduced to the Message of God's vindicated Prophet.
