UK Government's Secret Hostile Environment Database
April 29, 2019 — Back in July 2011, [Jewish] David Cameron made a speech about transparency. He told the electorate of Britain that a new dawn of government transparency had arrived and the release of official data would change the way government delivered public services.
"In so many ways, information is a national asset, and it's time it was shared," he said. "So today, we are making new commitments to transparency. What we're proposing is something entirely different. Our aim is to provide similar information on performance right across the public services."
Cameron spoke eloquently about this "revolution in transparency" and the "profound impact" it would have. What he didn't say was that the government were also using an architecture of illegal surveillance tools as well. He didn't say that the security services were taking images of you and your family (16% of which were naked images or compromising in nature). He forgot to mention that every website you visited, every message you sent, every person you made contact with was logged and stored. His convenient amnesia included forgetting to mention operations Tempora, Echelon, Optic Nerve and other illegal mass surveillance systems. Or that the government was recording what news or other information subscriptions you paid, how and who you spent your money with, what sexual orientation you may be and any other personal information . . .

Hidden Challenge of the Restoration of Notre-Dame
April 28, 2019 — The Élysée used the fire of Notre-Dame de Paris to carry out a project that was sleeping in the boxes [for two and a half years since 2015]. It has set new rules, outside tender procedures and respect for heritage not to restore the cathedral, but to transform the 'Island of the City' into Europe’s leading tourist’ destination on the eve of the Olympic Games of 2024. To avoid judicial constraints, he arbitrarily imposed the hypothesis of a 'construction incident' . . . Full story: voltairenet.org

Will New Netanyahu Coalition & Kushner's 'Deal' bring Destruction to Jerusalem's Golden Dome?
April 26, 2019 — There is a story about the Khalifa Omar bin al-Khattab, the Muslim leader who conquered Jerusalem in 637AD. It is said that upon entering the city he asked to see the site of the temple built by King Solomon, but could find no one who knew where it was. According to the story, he then came across a poor Jewish beggar sitting in the street. The beggar told the Kalifa that he could take him to the site where the temple once stood. When they arrived at the site Omar realized that the site had been used as the city trash dump. He then went down on his knees and, together with the Jewish beggar, cleaned the site and vowed to build a sanctuary that would for all eternity protect the holy site. This sanctuary is the Dome of the Rock and with its golden dome it has become the most iconic symbol of Jerusalem. Today, Zionists in Israel plan to destroy it and replace it with what amounts to no more than a slaughterhouse where Jewish fanatics will sacrifice animals in rituals whose time has long past . . .
Jared Kushner's Deal of the Century is one in which Israel takes all and Palestinians are denied any rights. The Neo-Nazi thugs like Betsalel Smutritch and Michael Ben-Ari, with whom Netanyahu made a pact prior to the April 2019 elections, seem likely to be his coalition partners. Under these circumstances, the dream that the "Temple Mount" loyalists hope to see materialize no longer seems far-fetched. The history of the past seven decades shows that the masters of the land—the most vicious, violent and racist elements within Israel—always get their way. Unless action is taken swiftly—and Israel with its anti-Arab, anti-Islamic policies is forced to stop—the world risks losing the most iconic symbol of Jerusalem, and one of the oldest and most beautiful religious structures ever created.

Jewish Family 'Staged' Anti-Semitic Attack against themselves, Vandalized own Business
April 25, 2019 — What looked like an anti-Semitic attack at a Winnipeg cafe that drew public concern and political condemnation was not a hate crime but an alleged sham staged by owners of the business, police said Wednesday. Officers responded last Thursday to a report that a woman who worked at the BerMax Caffe and Bistro was assaulted and that the business was vandalized and spray-painted with hate-related graffiti. It was the night before Passover. After a lengthy investigation involving 25 officers and 1,000 hours of investigative work, police said they charged the three owners of the cafe—including the woman who was reportedly assaulted—with public mischief. Police announced on Facebook they arrested BerMax Caffe and Bistro owners . . . Full story: informationliberation.com

5G: The Big Picture
April 25, 2019 — Increasingly intense exposure of the natural environment and all living creatures . . . to . . . electromagnetic radiation. In November of 2018, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorised the rocket company SpaceX, owned by the entrepreneur Elon Musk, to launch a fleet of 7,518 satellites to complete SpaceX's ambitious scheme to provide global satellite broadband services to every corner of the Earth.
The satellites will operate at a height of approximately 210 miles, and irradiate the Earth with extremely high frequencies between 37.5 GHz and 42 GHz. This fleet will be in addition to a smaller SpaceX fleet of 4,425 satellites, already authorised earlier in the year by the FCC, which will orbit the Earth at a height of approximately 750 miles . . . to bathe us in frequencies between 12 GHz and 30 GHz. The grand total of SpaceX satellites is thus projected to reach just under 12,000 . . . Boeing, One Web and Spire Global are each launching their own smaller fleets, bringing the total number of projected new broadband satellites to around 20,000—every one of them dedicated to irradiating the Earth at similar frequencies . . . what is really driving it is the creation of the conditions within which electronic or "artificial" intelligence will be able to assume an ever greater presence in our lives. . . Not one inch of the globe will be free of radiation . . . When we hold a smartphone to our ear, electromagnetic waves irradiate our brains. Do we really believe this could be completely harmless? . . . Full story: takebackyourpower.net

War on Iran & calling America's Bluff
April 24, 2019 — Vast swathes of the West seem not to realize that if the Strait of Hormuz is shut down a global depression will follow . . . The Trump administration once again has graphically demonstrated . . . "international law" and "national sovereignty" already belong to the Realm of the Walking Dead. As if a deluge of sanctions against a great deal of the planet was not enough, the latest "offer you can't refuse" conveyed by a gangster posing as diplomat, Consul Minimus Mike Pompeo, essentially orders the whole planet to submit to the one and only arbiter of world trade: Washington.
First the Trump administration unilaterally smashed a multinational, UN-endorsed agreement, the JCPOA, or Iran nuclear deal. Now the waivers that magnanimously allowed eight nations to import oil from Iran without incurring imperial wrath in the form of sanctions will expire on May 2 and won't be renewed. The eight nations are a mix of Eurasian powers: China, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, Italy and Greece . . . that Washington can decide who's allowed to be an energy provider to emerging superpower China . . . imposing a total embargo of Iranian oil exports is no less than an act of war . . . Professor Mohammad Marandi of the University of Tehran has elegantly argued, "If the Trump regime miscalculates, the house can easily come crashing down . . . if provoked to a point of no return . . . [Iran] can get as far as "destroying everything on the other side of the Persian Gulf and chasing the US out of Iraq and Afghanistan . . ." if Hormuz is shut down, the result will be an absolutely cataclysmic global economic depression . . . Washington may . . . set up a Persian Gulf of Tonkin false flag . . . If Tehran were totally cornered by Washington, with no way out, the de facto nuclear option of shutting down the Strait of Hormuz would instantly cut off 25 percent of the global oil supply. Oil prices could rise to over $500 a barrel, to even $1,000 a barrel. The 2.5 quadrillion of derivatives would start a chain reaction of destruction . . . Russian SS-NX-26 Yakhont missiles—with a top speed of Mach 2.9—are lining up the Iranian northern shore of the Strait of Hormuz. There's no way US aircraft carriers can defend a barrage of Yakhont missiles . . . the SS-N-22 Sunburn supersonic anti-ship missiles—already exported to China and India—flying ultra-low at 1,500 miles an hour with dodging capacity, and extremely mobile; they can be fired from a flatbed truck, and were designed to defeat the US Aegis radar defense system.
. . . the Trump administration bets on breaking Eurasia integration via . . . its weakest node; the three key nodes are China, Russia and Iran. These three actors interconnect the whole spectrum; Belt and Road Initiative; the Eurasia Economic Union; the Shanghai Cooperation Organization; the International North-South Transportation Corridor; the expansion of BRICS Plus . . . the Russia-China strategic partnership will be watching Iran's back . . . the trio is among the top existential "threats" to the US, according to the Pentagon. Beijing knows how the US Navy is able to cut it off from its energy sources. And that's why Beijing is strategically increasing imports of oil and natural gas from Russia; engineering the "escape from Malacca" also must take into account a hypothetical US takeover of the Strait of Hormuz . . .

Essence of Evil: Sex with Children has become Big Business in America
April 23, 2019 — An article by the American constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead . . . shows that the sex trade—especially the purchase and sale of young girls—has become "Big Business" in America. This buying and selling has become the fastest growing organized crime business and the second most important good after drugs and weapons. This is America's dirty little secret. This decadent "Western Value Society" will one day perish like the decadent Roman Empire . . .
The average age of those being trafficked is 13. But the average means there are children younger than 13. That means 8-, 9-, 10-year-old. Every year, the girls being bought and sold gets younger and younger. Every two minutes . . .
These girls aren't volunteering to be sex slaves. Some of these children are forcefully abducted or lured by force. Many are runaways or throwaways, others are sold to the system by relatives and acquaintances. In most cases, they have no choice. Social media makes it all too easy for pimps to find girls. They look on MySpace, Facebook, and other social networks. They and their assistants cruise malls, high schools and middle schools. They pick them up at bus stops. Foster homes and youth shelters . . . "Look around you. Young girls have been sexualized for years now in music videos, on billboards, in television ads, and in clothing stores. Marketers have created a demand for young flesh and a ready supply of over-sexualized children" . . . Full story: rutherford.org
Comment: Predator Cops, guilty of sex crimes against women and children, are a menace to society.
The Talmud, Sanhedrin 54b: "Pederasty with a child below nine years of age is not deemed as pederasty with a child above that. Samuel said: Pederasty with a child below three years is not treated as with a child above that. (Rab makes nine years the minimum; but if one committed sodomy with a child of lesser age, no guilt is incurred. Samuel makes three the minimum). At nine years a male attains sexual matureness. Lev. XVIII, 22. Thus the point of comparison is the sexual matureness of woman, which is reached at the age of three" (revisionistreview.blogspot.com).

Restoration of the Bride Tree
Our diagram portrays the dispensations of the Body of Christ prior to this present antitype of the holy convocation of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal feast since "that which is perfect came" ending Laodicea and Christ's mediation in March, 1963 (I Corinthians 13:10). The opening and revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ the fullness back to earth in W_O_R_D Form through the lips of His Prophet to cap the pyramid and complete His Bride "built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets—Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone . . . the stone which the builders refused has become the Head Stone of the corner" (Ephesians 2:20; Psalm 118:22). The greatest revelation is the supreme deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the One Person of God manifest in virgin-born-flesh to meet sin's price "life for life" and play the part of our KINSMAN Redeemer. "Jesus Christ was God's perfect Prophet Tree, the Example Tree, the Bridegroom Tree from the Garden of Eden. Amen. Glory! Then, the Bridegroom Tree, without the Female, don't bear fruit, so He's got to have a Bride Tree. She has got to be born of the same material, the Word made flesh in the Tree. Hope you get it. It's the same Life in this female Tree, the Bridegroom, as It is in the Bride. "The works that I do shall you also." Is that right? He was the Bridegroom (The Restoration of the Bride Tree, p. 62:415).
"We are to be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over every living thing that moves upon the earth" (Genesis 1:28). As with natural reproduction Spiritual Life must pass through the Body in order to increase the election according to God's foreknowledge from the foundation of the earth. Hereby we declare God's love to whoever will receive the Word of the hour and multiply Christ's Bride Tree. This is a love story; alas the tale of unrequited love, for many are called but few are chosen.
"God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God [the Capstone], and God in him" (I John 4:16). By the grace of God Christ's end-time Bride now has the perfect interpretation of the Word and need not mediation for ignorance of Its fullness. For us the Capstone is down: we are the "lively stones" forming the Capstone of Love crowning the Body of Christ, "attaining to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature Man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." Praise God! (Ephesians 4:13).
Jesus Christ was the first God-man, the beginner and the beginning of God creating Himself a part of creation. As His Bride we were in Him from eternity and Attributes of the Logos when It was expressed. We were in Him when He walked the shores of Galilee; when He was crucified on Calvary and gave up the Ghost we were taken from His side in the Form of the Holy Spirit. "Male and Female He created us, and called our Name Jesus Christ in the day when we were created" in His eternal thinking as Eve was in her husband and they were created and called man (Genesis 1:27; 5:2).
Each afternoon I try to walk with the Tree of Life in the cool breeze of the day. Perhaps it was the Bridegroom Tree Who spoke with me yesterday as we strolled, bringing to mind a song by the late Percy Sledge whose lyrics are so true to life and scripture I feel confident he would be pleased to hear two of his words changed to more closely identify with the Word, our Bridegroom Tree, the greatest Man that ever will be:
| When the Man loves the Woman, Can't keep His mind on nothing else He'll trade the world For the good thing He's found If She's bad He can't see it She can do no wrong Turn His back on his best friend If he put Her down |
God turned His back on His best friend when Lucifer "put down" Eve, and consequently you little Bride of Christ. Brother Branham said, "Satan was the original archangel of God. He once dwelt in the heaven. He once was the greatest person in the heavens outside of God. He was God's right-hand man to fellowship, and he got puffed up in his heart" (COD, 375:69; Genesis 3:15; Proverbs 31:30; I Timothy 2:14). You did not choose Christ, He chose you by foreknowledge of your character and the exercise of your free moral agency He died on Calvary to redeem YOU before He spoke the first atom into existence. One cannot gain eternal Life because eternity is without beginning and without end; so if you possess eternal Life now you always were eternal but could not recognize this until you received the gift of faith. As His Wife you are His purchased possession, and by grace through faith He is yours. From eternity "Your sins are all forgiven, you're on your way to heaven, your heart is bubbling over with its joy, joy, joy"!
Your Bible tells the love story of God changing His form or unfolding Himself from the eternal Spirit alone with His thoughts to the flesh of His glorified Family of God-men and God-women. Jesus Christ is our pattern and example, the beginning of God creating Himself a part of Creation. And as Eve was not a separate creation apart from Adam but a continuation of Adam, so Christ's Bride was always in and is a continuation of His glorious self.
Joel 1:1-4, "The Word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. Hear this, you old men, and give ear, all you inhabitants of the land. Has this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. That which the palmerworm has left the locust has eaten; and that which the locust has left the cankerworm has eaten; and that which the cankerworm has left the caterpiller has eaten".
From Israel's viewpoint these metaphors refer to the four Gentile World Empires from Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece, to Imperial Rome and Calvary [and continue in Joel 2:25-26 to the national restoration of 144,000 to the Lord]. Brother Branham applied the four destroying insects as the work of Satan in Papal Rome under the four Seals of our redemption in the Gentile dispensation. In the reformation of the Judaeo-Roman Catholic system of false worship that followed the Dark Ages the ministries of Martin Luther, John Wesley and William Branham in the Sardis, Philadelphian and Laodicean Church Ages began to restore Christ's Bride Tree.
The Prophet explained, "Four death messengers killed that Tree. That right? What was it? Palmerworm, locust, cankerworm, caterpillar. Is that right? Four messengers of Roman devils, dogmas, killed that Tree. One took Its fruit; one took Its leaves; one took Its bark; one took the Life. Is that right? Four messengers of dogmas killed the Tree, all but the roots. And we are not grafted into the vine, but stump grafted as Jesus is the root and offspring of King David.
"And if four messengers of death killed the Tree, four messengers of Life restores the Tree. Do you get it? Amen. For God said, "I will restore It." He's going to restore It. How? By four death messengers, killed It, then four Life messengers will restore It. What was the first? Martin Luther, justification. What was the second? John Wesley, by sanctification. What was the third? Pentecost, with the restoration of the gifts, the Holy Ghost, baptism of the Holy Ghost. What was the fourth? The Word. What? The Word. [Brother Branham is speaking of Christ's second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming. The revelation of the Seven Seals unfolded the mystery of the Seven unknown Thunders and brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form through the lips of His Prophet so that we now have, by the grace of God, the perfect interpretation of the Word with divine vindication (Revelation 1:10-7; An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 327:1)].
There were four great prophets. One of them, Martin Luther, began to shine a Light. There was a little Light, just a very small strength, of justification. Along came Wesley, stronger, sanctification. After Wesley, come a stronger than him, pentecostal, the baptism of the Holy Ghost, in another great prophet [William Branham]. See?
But in the last days, of Malachi 4, Elijah is to come with the very Word. "The Word of the Lord came to the prophet" (II Peter 1:21). In the evening Lights, is to come forth, to restore and bring back. What? "Turn the hearts of the children back to the Faith of God" (Malachi 4:5, 6b). Fourth Light!
"I will restore, saith the Lord." Hallelujah! Glory! Praise be to God. The fourth Light is to come, that will bring forth the same signs. Justification brought back the pulp. Sanctification brought back the bark, doctrine of holiness.
What brought back the leaf? Pentecostals . . . leaves, clap their hand, joy, rejoicing, pentecostal.
The fourth was the Word, Itself. The Word made flesh, fruits of the proof of the resurrection sign that Christ has finally, after justification been planted, sanctification been planted, baptism of the Holy Ghost. Organizations died out. And Christ has again centered Himself like that cap of the pyramid. First line, justification; sanctification; baptism of the Holy Ghost; then coming of the Cap.
What is it? That Holy Ghost bunch being honed out so that it can fit with the same kind of ministry He had when He went away, that, when He comes back, it'll catch the whole thing in the Rapture, where the justified, sanctified, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost. That pyramid will stand again. The House of God will live again. The Tree of Life is growing again.

In the reformation of the Judaeo-Roman Catholic system of false worship that followed the Dark Ages the ministries of Martin Luther, John Wesley and William Branham in the Sardis, Philadelphian and Laodicean Church Ages began to restore Christ's Bride Tree.
The Prophet explained, "Four death messengers killed that Tree. That right? What was it? Palmerworm, locust, cankerworm, caterpillar. Is that right? Four messengers of Roman devils, dogmas, killed that Tree. One took Its fruit; one took Its leaves; one took Its bark; one took the Life. Is that right? Four messengers of dogmas killed the Tree, all but the roots. And we are not grafted into the vine, but stump grafted as Jesus is the root and offspring of King David.
"And if four messengers of death killed the Tree, four messengers of Life restores the Tree. Do you get it? Amen. For God said, "I will restore It." He's going to restore It. How? By four death messengers, killed It, then four Life messengers will restore It. What was the first? Martin Luther, justification. What was the second? John Wesley, by sanctification. What was the third? Pentecost, with the restoration of the gifts, the Holy Ghost, baptism of the Holy Ghost. What was the fourth? The Word. What? The Word. [Brother Branham is speaking of Christ's second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming. The revelation of the Seven Seals unfolded the mystery of the Seven unknown Thunders and brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form through the lips of His Prophet so that we now have, by the grace of God, the perfect interpretation of the Word with divine vindication (Revelation 1:10-7; An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 327:1)].
There were four great prophets. One of them, Martin Luther, began to shine a Light. There was a little Light, just a very small strength, of justification. Along came Wesley, stronger, sanctification. After Wesley, come a stronger than him, pentecostal, the baptism of the Holy Ghost, in another great prophet [William Branham]. See?
But in the last days, of Malachi 4, Elijah is to come with the very Word. "The Word of the Lord came to the prophet" (II Peter 1:21). In the evening Lights, is to come forth, to restore and bring back. What? "Turn the hearts of the children back to the Faith of God" (Malachi 4:5, 6b). Fourth Light!
"I will restore, saith the Lord." Hallelujah! Glory! Praise be to God. The fourth Light is to come, that will bring forth the same signs. Justification brought back the pulp. Sanctification brought back the bark, doctrine of holiness.
What brought back the leaf? Pentecostals . . . leaves, clap their hand, joy, rejoicing, pentecostal.
The fourth was the Word, Itself. The Word made flesh, fruits of the proof of the resurrection sign that Christ has finally, after justification been planted, sanctification been planted, baptism of the Holy Ghost. Organizations died out. And Christ has again centered Himself like that cap of the pyramid. First line, justification; sanctification; baptism of the Holy Ghost; then coming of the Cap.
What is it? That Holy Ghost bunch being honed out so that it can fit with the same kind of ministry He had when He went away, that, when He comes back, it'll catch the whole thing in the Rapture, where the justified, sanctified, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost. That pyramid will stand again. The House of God will live again. The Tree of Life is growing again.
| Nations are breaking, Israel is awakening, The signs that the prophets foretold; Gentile days numbered, with horrors encumbered; Return, O dispersed, to your own. |
| The Day of redemption is near, Men's hearts are failing for fear; Be filled with the Spirit, your lamps trimmed and clear, Look up, your redemption is near. |
| False prophets are lying, God's Truth they're denying, That Jesus the Christ is our God. (Amen!) Though this generation spurns God's revelation, But we'll walk where the apostles have trod. |
| For the Day of redemption is near, Men's hearts are failing for fear, (atomics and everything else); But be filled with the Spirit, your lamps trimmed and clear, Look up, your redemption is near. (Amen!) (Ibid, p. 75:504-508, 511-515). |
Joel 2:25-26, "And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you. And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the Name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you: and My people shall never be ashamed".
From Israel's viewpoint these metaphors refer to Daniel's Seventieth Week under the manifestation of the Seventh Trumpet and Sixth Seal leading to the birth of the Israel nation in one day, followed by their martyrdom. Meanwhile under the Seventh Vial elect Israelites will distinguish the history of the mighty false Church from Christ's "little flock" whose lives were "written epistles" of God's Message to their season and time. Also under this Vial the "foolish virgin" will forfeit their lives in martyrdom by apostate Christendom and its churches in order to maintain their names in the Book of Life and their salvation. The consummation will result from Jewry exercising its "Samson Option" under Gog and Magog.
Christ's end-time Bride is in the process of restoration to godhood as before the Fall; back to the quality or state of being a god by grace through faith, not like Cain who sought to attain a second-hand religion by logic and carnal works. In Ephesians 1:3-10 Paul explained godhood thus: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: having predestinated us to the adoption [or public recognition and placement] as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intent of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In whom we have redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; which He lavished upon us in all wisdom and prudence; He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him: that in the dispensation of the fulness of times [of PART-Word] He might gather together all things in the Headship of Christ, those in the heaven [the dead in Christ], and [we who are alive and remain] upon the earth even in Him".
To restore, means, "To bring back to lawful owner, former estate or condition." You can enforce that claim to restore it. Souls of men Satan took from God; souls of women, children; sickness placed upon people God made in His image for godhood to be like Him, the Church has legal rights by the Scripture to take the Holy Spirit and enforce this upon them.
Kneel down, speak the Word and enforce your claim. Birds have an inbuilt law that enables them to overcome gravity. Sons and Daughters of God have the Law of the Holy Spirit that by grace through faith entitles you to your rights so long as you know that the Law of Life is in you. "Don't worry, be happy," just "let go and let God" take you to your healing, or anything that He has promised. If it is a promise, it is a right. Remember, we are in the holy convocation of the fiftieth day of the Pentecostal feast; Brother Branham said this is a relaxing time, so let go and let God (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 558:1; Leviticus 23:21).
Identify your place in God's Word and the Law of God will bring His Word to pass in you. Jesus identified Himself in Psalm 16:10, "You will not leave My soul in hell; neither will You suffer Your Holy One to see corruption," and within three days "He was raised for YOUR justification." Now if you "Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman the need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth," you will find your ordained position in the pyramid of His Body, what Peter called "the present Truth" (II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7). Then you can claim the promise for your hour.
Brother Branham said, "There is five musts. No matter how sincere a man may be in doing God a service, these five must be there.
1. It must be His time to do it. What if Moses said, "We'll build an ark and float up the Nile, like Noah did"? Noah's time was all right for an ark, but not his time. What if Jesus would come, said, "Now I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll just go up on the mount, like Moses did, and get a new declaration of laws"? See? He was that law. See?
2. It must be according to His Word that has been spoken. I don't care how well you say this ought to be, or that ought to be. It's got to be according to His Word; according to His time and in His season.
3. It must be given according, to the person He has chosen to do it by. Moses tried to run from it, "Take somebody else." But God chose Moses to do it. Many of them; Paul tried to get out of it; many others. But it's got to be by the one He chooses to do it.
4. It must come, first, to His prophets. The Word of God must come to His prophets. Amos 3:7, "The Lord God will do nothing until first He reveals It to His servant the prophet."
5. The prophet must be a vindicated by the Word of God. There is your five musts. It's got to be that way. His time, His season, when He said it would be; and the man that He chose; and it must come to the prophet; and the prophet must be a vindicated prophet. We find out, many of them in the Bible, it come to the prophets and it wasn't vindicated. Our Prophet is Jesus Christ" (Trying to do God a Service without being the Will of God, p. 19:110-119).
When God speaks something, that is a law. And the Holy Spirit is here to enforce that law for the believer. You have be ordained to do so, and it takes a believer. You got to have the badge of "believer." You have no power, but you have authority.
In Psalm 1:1-3 King David wrote, "Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the Law of the Lord; and in His law does he meditate day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers (plural) of water" (singular). Not a Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, so forth. No, no. Just rivers of one Water; nine spiritual gifts by the same Spirit. Nine fruits of the Spirit coming from the same channel, "that brings forth His [God's] fruit in his [the Prophet's] season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper." Remember the "five musts".
All trees born by woman die (Genesis 2:17; Job 14:1) therefore we must be born a second time by the Man, the Tree of Life, the W_O_R_D Tree from the Garden of Eden. God planted a fruit tree on the Day of Pentecost, a Bride Tree, and He brought that Tree there for a purpose. He wanted It to bear His fruit, Word, God's Word. He wanted a Church that would keep His Word. All down through the age, Eve had failed to keep It, the Jews had failed to keep It, the Law had failed, all had failed, so God planted a Tree. It was to bear nine different kinds of fruit, nine different kinds; which means, nine spiritual gifts, nine fruits of the Spirit to go with the nine spiritual gifts. That was God's Tree. He planted It in the earth on the Day of Pentecost.
After PassoverEaster, He was raising. [It's resurrection time on the third day]! "Go into all the world, and I'm going to go with you. As the living Father has sent Me, and He's in Me, so I send you and will be in you. I am with you to the end of the world. The works, the same thing that I done, to prove that I was, you'll do the same things to prove that you are." I like that.
"These signs shall follow them that are believers," not make-believers, but believers. See? "These things that I do, you will do it and vindicate that you're a believer. Just the same as the work that I done, because the living Father lives in Me. It ain't Me that does the work; it's My Father. And it won't be you doing the works; it would be Me in you, doing the works." See? "Now, you go into all the world".
Otherwise, "You're going to form what's known, to Me, as a Bride." See? All right. "I'll go with you. And You will be part of Me. You'll be My Bride. My Life will be in your Body. Just like a husband and wife is one person, you and I are going to be One. At that day you'll know that I am in the Father, the Father in Me; and I in you, and you in Me." Oh! I just love that. Satan just gets so angry at that. See the Oneness of God? All that God was, He poured into Christ; and all Christ was, He poured into the Church. There you are. Makes them all One.
Now look. Now, the Bride are one Tree of Life. Other words, like husband and wife is one, Christ and His Bride are One: same thing, same Spirit, same works, same signs, everything else. "For the works that I do shall you do also." How long? "All the world." How much? "To every creature." Is that right?
He's going to prune off them old dead vines as she comes up, all those organization vines, till She gets right up in the top of the Tree. There is where He's going to get His fruit. Now notice. God prunes her. All right. They are dead, and won't come into the Presence of God, won't come in the first resurrection. The Vine of God. They'll go into the organizational group, but they won't come with the fruit of the Vine.
Now look. God never did put out an organization. The church puts the grafts in, an organization, and God cuts it off, cuts off its lifeline. It bears organizational fruit.
But if that Vine put forth a branch that come out of the Vine, It'll bear the same as That did. So, you see, the first one was. And Rome sent their beetles over there and eat It off, but God is going to grow One so high that it can't touch It. It's going to come on up. Amen. The Tree goes from one place to another, from one dispensation to another dispensation. From Luther, It went to Wesley; from Wesley, to Pentecost; from Pentecost, It goes to the Word.
The Royal Seed has been hid in the roots, the Word, hid back here in this Word, for years, and years, and years, and just now begin to be revealed. Predestinated from the foundation of the world, this Church is begin to stand.
Notice here, that, to restore the first perfect Tree in three days after Its death. After the first Tree's death, He restored it in three days. Is that right? Restored it back! Now the Bride Tree is also going to be restored in three ages, three stages, rather. Three stages, It'll be restored. Now look. What? Justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost; one, two, three.
Now notice. After three days, the first Tree restored as at the beginning, having the same signs, same wonders. Jesus come back, the same Jesus, doing the same thing. At the end of the third day, the signs appeared, not at the end of the first day. Oh, brother! I hope you're getting it. At the third day is when the real manifestation of Christ was made known, at the end of the third day. See? Notice. Are you getting it?
Not at the first day, dead form; second day, it was still dead; Luther, Wesley. At the beginning of the third day, there was a rumour around. All right. Nothing on the first day, Luther; nothing on the second day. And in the third day, the dispensation of the Holy Spirit, there was a rumour around, that, "He was the same yesterday, today, and forever."
But at the end of the third day, that's where He made Himself known, come right among them, come among His people and said, "Look at Me. I'm the same One."
The dead forms went on till they got to Pentecost, then begin to rumour around, that, "He was."
Now, here in the last day, here He is right among us, moving right among us. At the end of the third day, He appeared and showed all them His resurrection sign, that He was a living, the same yesterday, today, and forever, living fruits of His Presence. Living fruits of His Presence! Are you getting it? Was manifested at the very end of the day, when He appeared to all of them, His Church. Amen. Why? They all got together, oh, amen, at the end of the third day.
"The evening Lights," the Bible said, "would shine in the last days." The evening Light is the same Light in the West, that was the same Light that was in the East. And the same Light that shined in the East, that brought forth the first Church that the Romans cut down by their pagan worship and so forth, in the evening Light is the same Light. Now notice, the same Light! (Joel 2:25-26; Zechariah 14:7; Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 24:27).
And what's the evening Light come out for? What is the evening Light for? To restore. Whew! You get it? The evening Light is for the same purpose the morning Light was for, to restore what was cut down by the Dark Ages, through Rome. God is going to restore, by shining forth the evening Light, (what?) restore the whole Word of God again, the full manifestation of Christ in His Church. Everything that He did, just exactly the way He did, it would be again in the evening Light. See what I mean? Oh, is that wonderful? And know we're living right here to see It now, the evening Light, exactly according to prophecy. The evening Light come out to restore what? To restore what the bugs had eat up.
It started growing, and then what'd it do? It denominated, so God pruned them off, bound them up, laid them back, let them go ahead and organize. Then the next one come up; He bound them up, laid them off. Tree went on. Then He bound them up, laid them off, said, "Now, one of these days they'll be burned." Bind them up in their organization (Matthew 4:12; 13:30, 40; Hebrews 6:8; Revelation 19:20).
But then what? Right in top of the Tree is where the fruit ripens first, that's right, right in top of the Tree. So it's the top of the Tree, here, that sees the evening Light (Restoration of the Bride Tree, p. 65:444-497).
"Together we form the one Body of Christ, individually we are members of it." Presently we are forming the top of the Bride Tree, the Capstone that completes the Body of Christ (I Corinthians 12:27). We are awaiting that last member of the Bride Tree, for without the full number of Christ's end-time Bride the Church Age saints cannot be glorified (Hebrews 11:40) nl1069
From Israel's viewpoint these metaphors refer to Daniel's Seventieth Week under the manifestation of the Seventh Trumpet and Sixth Seal leading to the birth of the Israel nation in one day, followed by their martyrdom.

All trees born by woman die (Genesis 2:17; Job 14:1) therefore we must be born a second time by the Man, the Tree of Life, the W_O_R_D Tree from the Garden of Eden.

It was to bear nine different kinds of fruit, nine different kinds; which means, nine spiritual gifts, nine fruits of the Spirit to go with the nine spiritual gifts. That was God's Tree. He planted It in the earth on the Day of Pentecost.
After Passover
"These signs shall follow them that are believers," not make-believers, but believers. See? "These things that I do, you will do it and vindicate that you're a believer. Just the same as the work that I done, because the living Father lives in Me. It ain't Me that does the work; it's My Father. And it won't be you doing the works; it would be Me in you, doing the works." See? "Now, you go into all the world".
Otherwise, "You're going to form what's known, to Me, as a Bride." See? All right. "I'll go with you. And You will be part of Me. You'll be My Bride. My Life will be in your Body. Just like a husband and wife is one person, you and I are going to be One. At that day you'll know that I am in the Father, the Father in Me; and I in you, and you in Me." Oh! I just love that. Satan just gets so angry at that. See the Oneness of God? All that God was, He poured into Christ; and all Christ was, He poured into the Church. There you are. Makes them all One.
Now look. Now, the Bride are one Tree of Life. Other words, like husband and wife is one, Christ and His Bride are One: same thing, same Spirit, same works, same signs, everything else. "For the works that I do shall you do also." How long? "All the world." How much? "To every creature." Is that right?
He's going to prune off them old dead vines as she comes up, all those organization vines, till She gets right up in the top of the Tree. There is where He's going to get His fruit. Now notice. God prunes her. All right. They are dead, and won't come into the Presence of God, won't come in the first resurrection. The Vine of God. They'll go into the organizational group, but they won't come with the fruit of the Vine.
Now look. God never did put out an organization. The church puts the grafts in, an organization, and God cuts it off, cuts off its lifeline. It bears organizational fruit.
But if that Vine put forth a branch that come out of the Vine, It'll bear the same as That did. So, you see, the first one was. And Rome sent their beetles over there and eat It off, but God is going to grow One so high that it can't touch It. It's going to come on up. Amen. The Tree goes from one place to another, from one dispensation to another dispensation. From Luther, It went to Wesley; from Wesley, to Pentecost; from Pentecost, It goes to the Word.
The Royal Seed has been hid in the roots, the Word, hid back here in this Word, for years, and years, and years, and just now begin to be revealed. Predestinated from the foundation of the world, this Church is begin to stand.
Notice here, that, to restore the first perfect Tree in three days after Its death. After the first Tree's death, He restored it in three days. Is that right? Restored it back! Now the Bride Tree is also going to be restored in three ages, three stages, rather. Three stages, It'll be restored. Now look. What? Justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost; one, two, three.
Now notice. After three days, the first Tree restored as at the beginning, having the same signs, same wonders. Jesus come back, the same Jesus, doing the same thing. At the end of the third day, the signs appeared, not at the end of the first day. Oh, brother! I hope you're getting it. At the third day is when the real manifestation of Christ was made known, at the end of the third day. See? Notice. Are you getting it?
Not at the first day, dead form; second day, it was still dead; Luther, Wesley. At the beginning of the third day, there was a rumour around. All right. Nothing on the first day, Luther; nothing on the second day. And in the third day, the dispensation of the Holy Spirit, there was a rumour around, that, "He was the same yesterday, today, and forever."
But at the end of the third day, that's where He made Himself known, come right among them, come among His people and said, "Look at Me. I'm the same One."
The dead forms went on till they got to Pentecost, then begin to rumour around, that, "He was."
Now, here in the last day, here He is right among us, moving right among us. At the end of the third day, He appeared and showed all them His resurrection sign, that He was a living, the same yesterday, today, and forever, living fruits of His Presence. Living fruits of His Presence! Are you getting it? Was manifested at the very end of the day, when He appeared to all of them, His Church. Amen. Why? They all got together, oh, amen, at the end of the third day.
"The evening Lights," the Bible said, "would shine in the last days." The evening Light is the same Light in the West, that was the same Light that was in the East. And the same Light that shined in the East, that brought forth the first Church that the Romans cut down by their pagan worship and so forth, in the evening Light is the same Light. Now notice, the same Light! (Joel 2:25-26; Zechariah 14:7; Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 24:27).
And what's the evening Light come out for? What is the evening Light for? To restore. Whew! You get it? The evening Light is for the same purpose the morning Light was for, to restore what was cut down by the Dark Ages, through Rome. God is going to restore, by shining forth the evening Light, (what?) restore the whole Word of God again, the full manifestation of Christ in His Church. Everything that He did, just exactly the way He did, it would be again in the evening Light. See what I mean? Oh, is that wonderful? And know we're living right here to see It now, the evening Light, exactly according to prophecy. The evening Light come out to restore what? To restore what the bugs had eat up.
It started growing, and then what'd it do? It denominated, so God pruned them off, bound them up, laid them back, let them go ahead and organize. Then the next one come up; He bound them up, laid them off. Tree went on. Then He bound them up, laid them off, said, "Now, one of these days they'll be burned." Bind them up in their organization (Matthew 4:12; 13:30, 40; Hebrews 6:8; Revelation 19:20).
But then what? Right in top of the Tree is where the fruit ripens first, that's right, right in top of the Tree. So it's the top of the Tree, here, that sees the evening Light (Restoration of the Bride Tree, p. 65:444-497).
"Together we form the one Body of Christ, individually we are members of it." Presently we are forming the top of the Bride Tree, the Capstone that completes the Body of Christ (I Corinthians 12:27). We are awaiting that last member of the Bride Tree, for without the full number of Christ's end-time Bride the Church Age saints cannot be glorified (Hebrews 11:40) nl1069
