Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; we appreciate your company and fellowship around God's unchanging Word.
We have two main articles this week: please welcome contributing author Professor Michel Chossudovsky, it is several years since we have published one of his articles. In his carefully researched study he dissects "Global Capitalism, 'World Government' and the Corona Crisis," to show that as Christ's "Little Flock" we are confronted by the stupendous mass of natural and spiritual Serpent's seed and a corrupt Christ-rejecting Establishment, yet by God's grace we stand. Our second main article expounds "The Abomination that makes Desolate," identifying several historical example, the present day abomination, and that which is to come.
In recent months the best politicians and corruptocrats money can buy, Jewish criminal organizations like the UN, WHO, usurers, Big Pharma, multinational corporations privy to the plan, and their worldwide publicity monopoly whose expertise conjures fear of the unknown has transformed the common cold into a psychological weapon that has the entire planet under house arrest! Jesus said, "I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear him, who after he has killed has power to cast your soul into hell; Fear him".
Don't allow men to bind and disempower you by deceit, rest your soul upon a clear understanding of what II Peter 1:12 called "the present Truth," what Jesus is doing now. The world power confidently asserted, "We will obtain the power of destroying little by little, step by step, all that at the outset when we enter on our rights, we are compelled to introduce into the constitutions of States to prepare for the transition to an imperceptible abolition of every kind of constitution, and then the time is come to turn every form of government into our despotism."
"The recognition of our despot may also come before the destruction of the constitution; the moment for this recognition will come when the peoples, utterly wearied by the irregularities and incompetence—a matter which we shall arrange for—of their rulers, will clamour: "Away with them and give us one king over all the earth who will unite us and annihilate the causes of disorders—frontiers, nationalities, religions, State debts—who will give us peace and quiet which we cannot find under our rulers and representatives."
(The United Nations is patterned after the Tower of Babel: whereas it was God's intention to scatter the seventy nations around the earth and separate Adam's race from the race of Cain, Satan tried to oppose His purpose by having Nimrod, the son of Cush, to build Babel. "Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven [God's first Bible "the witness of the stars"]; and let us make us a name [(Heb.) Shem . . . let us usurp his destined blessings], lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth" (Genesis 11:4)].
"But you yourselves perfectly well know that to produce the possibility of the expression of such wishes by all the nations it is indispensable to trouble in all countries the people's relations with their governments so as to utterly exhaust humanity with dissension, hatred, struggle, envy and even by the use of torture, by starvation, by the inoculation of diseases, by want, so that the "Goyim" see no other issue than to take refuge in our complete sovereignty in money and in all else."
"But if we give the nations of the world a breathing space the moment we long for is hardly likely ever to arrive" (Protocol 10).
Do you see the predicament the world in is today? Brother Branham called this "the squeeze;" and "the press" will become much tighter than it is now because the PTB will not allow us a "breathing space".
He said, "When God sends forth a Message and tells the people, and they don't receive it, then He withdraws His servant and sends His plagues: famine, death, spiritually speaking, physically also. You watch for a depression, brother. You think you've seen something; you just wait after while. You haven't seen nothing. You think you're dying for a good spiritual revival; you wait till after a bit. You just wait, long and cry to hear the Word of God. The Bible said so. "There'll be a famine in the last days," said the prophet Amos 8:11, "and not for bread and water alone, but for hearing the true Word of God." But that voice will be quiet in the wilderness somewhere, hid away" (Jezebel Religion, p. 22:100).
Whether we are in a global quarantine contrary to medical sense (read the column headed "overall risk." Death from COVID-19 is less that 0.003%, and these figures are corrupt exaggerations, there almost no risk at all). And a simultaneous shutdown of the world economy by corrupt men—for no sound reason—except unbelief. "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth" (Revelation 6:8).
"The world has gone insane" as Brother Branham prophesied. People outside the Message are mesmerized—brainwashed by mass hysteria invoked by "the seed of the Serpent whom God set at enmity with the seed of the first Adam and the last Adam" (Genesis 3:15). And those of Adam's seed who know not God, being without hope and afraid, have surrendered body, mind and soul and are sleep-walking into Judaeo-Communism. At the appointed hour Judaeo-Catholicism will refinance the US dollar and rule the world from Jerusalem, "And all who dwell upon earth shall worship the Devil-incarnate pope, whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 13:8).

China updates its 'Art of (Hybrid) War'
May 19, 2020 — Retired General Qiao Liang, director of the Council for Research on National Security, a senior air force colonel in the People's Liberation Army, and Wang Xiangsui, another senior colonel, caused a tremendous uproar in 1999 with the publication of "Unrestricted Warfare: China's Master Plan to Destroy America" . . . General Qiao thinks that, "if we have to dance with the wolves, we should not dance to the rhythm of the US. We should have our own rhythm, and even try to break their rhythm, to minimize its influence. If American power is brandishing its stick, it's because it has fallen into a trap."
The gold standard expression has come in a no-holds barred Global Times editorial: "We must be clear that coping with US suppression will be the key focus of China's national strategy. We should enhance cooperation with most countries. The US is expected to contain China's international front lines, and we must knock out this US plot and make China-US rivalry a process of US self-isolation" . . . An inevitable corollary is that the all-out offensive to cripple Huawei will be counterpunched in kind, targeting Apple, Qualcom, Cisco and Boeing, even including "investigations or suspensions of their right to do business in China." So for all practical purposes, Beijing has now publicly unveiled its strategy to counteract US President Donald Trump's "We could cut off the whole relationship" kind of assertions.
A toxic racism-meets-anti-communism matrix is responsible for the predominant anti-Chinese sentiment across the US, encompassing at least 66% of the whole population. Trump instinctively seized it—and repackaged it as his re-election campaign theme . . . What we should expect is absolute emphasis on domestic spending—and social stability—over a struggle to become a global leader, even if that's not totally overlooked.
After all, President Xi Jinping made it clear earlier this week that a "Covid-19 vaccine development and deployment in China, when available," won't be subjected to Big Pharma logic, but "will be made a global public good. This will be China's contribution to ensuring vaccine accessibility and affordability in developing countries." The Global South is paying attention.
Internally, Beijing will boost support for state-owned enterprises that are strong in innovation and risk-taking. China always defies predictions by Western "experts." For instance, exports rose 3.5% in April, when the experts were forecasting a decline of 15.7%. The trade surplus was $45.3 billion, when experts were forecasting only $6.3 billion. Beijing seems to identify clearly the extending gap between a West, especially the US, that's plunging into de facto New Great Depression territory with a China that's about to rekindle economic growth. The center of gravity of global economic power keeps moving, inexorably, toward Asia . . . Full story: asiatimes.com
Comment: The unbelievable folly of President Trump whose nation, without a self-sufficient manufacturing sector lacks the capacity to compete with China except by military containment. Trump has planted and watered the seeds of US self-isolation and annihilation. It will contain China but imperialist Judaeo-Roman refinancing of the dollar will embolden church and state united against their mutual enemy, Judaeo-Communism. Communizing China was a Jewish project: when Rome breaks her covenant with Jewry and forces her "mark of the beast," NATO/Europe will ally re-communized Russia which will 'nuke' Vatican City State (Revelation 17:12 – 18:20), and eventually the USA, thereafter Jewry will deploy her Samson Option at Armageddon rather than receive Jesus Christ.
Since the end of the Second World War, Catholic imperialism's wooing of the Dollar has been crowned by such success that it has managed to identify both its enemies and its interests with those of the USA This astounding amalgamation was anything but accidental. It came about chiefly owing to the fact that both the Vatican and the Dollar were able to supply what the other partner conspicuously lacked: namely, the subtle omnipotence of religion in the case of the Dollar, and the crass omnipotence of the Dollar in the case of organized religion. The result has been that both imperialisms have been able ever since to infuse renewed vigour into their expansionistic drives, in a manner extremely advantageous to both. Thus, for instance, whereas the Dollar, besides backing its economic imperialism with its industrial wealth or with the threat of nuclear weapons, can now give additional weight to both, owing to having behind it the organized religion, translated into power politics, of its new partner, so Catholic imperialism is rendered speedily more effective by the solidification of its religious and diplomatic machinery, thanks to the support of the Dollar.
In this manner the Dollar-Vatican alliance not only becomes extremely useful to both partners, but is transformed into a mighty instrument with which to carry out a common policy.
If the reverberations of a Dollar-Vatican joint action were influencing only the internal affairs of nations, it would be serious enough. But the sum of this interference very often affects world problems and hence world politics. In view of its increase, therefore, it behooves the lover of freedom diligently to study the origin, development, and actual working of both these dangerous imperialisms (Avro Manhattan, The Dollar and the Vatican, p. 3:6).
In view of all this, the Vatican is evidently an imponderable power of the greatest magnitude in the conduct of the affairs of nations. When backed by the might of the Dollar, with all the gigantic economic resources of which the Dollar is a symbol, then it is clear that the Vatican is far more of a menace to the liberties of men than before it struck its unholy alliance with the Dollar.
Conversely, the Dollar, because of the sly support it receives from the Vatican, has turned into an even more vigorous instrument of penetration, particularly in Latin America and in Europe.
This is one of the greatest realities of this century, and should be viewed with the gravest misgiving. For it is anything but a factor conducive to peace. The Dollar and the Vatican have combined to expand their joint dominion. Should Western man come to accept a civilization which relies only on its gold to move the human spirit, or a political system based on tenets conceived by medieval theology, then Western man as we know him today is doomed.
Catholics have been reprimanded for criticizing the imperialistic designs of their Church, while Americans have been persecuted for opposing the imperialistic designs of an increasingly aggressive dollar policy. Unfortunately, neither will prevent the two emboldened imperialisms from careering towards ever greater conquests (ibid, p. 20:5 - 21:2).

US trying to dismember China promoting Separatism in its Regions
May 21, 2020 — HR 649, The Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2019 "is part of the overall US strategy to isolate China and portray it as a pariah state" . . . based on unsubstantiated allegations that the Uyghurs of China are being subjected to wholesale repression and subjugation as an ethnic minority. The evidence for these allegations has been provided by separatists in Xinjiang, aided, abetted and funded by the US government . . . a self-fulfilling prophecy . . . As Secretary of State Pompeo himself revealed, the US is proud to lie, cheat and steal and has "entire training courses" in how to do it . . . The US has long sought to dismember China by supporting separatist movements in her outlying regions. Since the 1950s . . . promotes both ethnic and religious rivalry between minority populations and the majority of Han people, counter to the Chinese policy of ethnic unity and solidarity . . .

USA Plan: Militarized Control of Population. The 'National Covid-19 Testing Action Plan'
May 24, 2020 — The Rockefeller Foundation has presented the 'National Covid-19 Testing Action Plan,' indicating the "pragmatic steps to reopen our workplaces and our communities." However, it is not simply a matter of health measures as it appears from the title . . .
The Pandemic Testing Board (PTB) would "consist of leaders from business, government and academia" (government representatives would not in the first row, but finance and economic representatives being listed in order of importance) . . . The plan calls for 3 million US citizens to be Covid-19 tested weekly, and the number should be raised to 30 million per week within six months . . . 30 million people a day . . . within a year.
For each test, "a fair market reimbursement (e.g. $100) for all Covid-19 assays" is expected . . . The members of the "Pandemic Response Corps" would receive an average gross wage of $40,000 per year, a State expenditure of $4-12 billion a year is expected for it . . . The operation is carried out in the name of "Covid-19 control," whose mortality rate has so far been less than 0.03% of the US population according to official data. In the Rockefeller Foundation Plan the virus is used as a real weapon, more dangerous than Covid-19 itself . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Global Capitalism, 'World Government' & the Corona Crisis
By Professor Michel Chossudovsky © 2020 all rights reserved
May 24, 2020 — The COVID-19 crisis is marked by a public health "emergency" under WHO . . . triggering a Worldwide process of economic, social and political restructuring. Social engineering is being applied. Governments are pressured into extending the lockdown, despite its devastating economic and social consequences. What is happening is unprecedented in World history . . . The closing down of national economies applied Worldwide will inevitably result in poverty, mass unemployment and an increase in mortality. It's an act of economic warfare. Stage One: Trade War against China On January 30, 2020 . . .
Stage Two: The Financial Crash Spearheaded by Fear and Stock Market Manipulation . . .
Stage Three: Lockdown, Confinement, Closing Down of the Global Economy Politicians are lying. Neither the lockdown nor the closing down of national economies constitute a solution to the public health crisis . . .
Who Controls the Politicians? Why are politicians lying? They are the political instruments of the financial establishment including the "Ultra-rich philanthropists." Their task is to carry out the global economic restructuring project which consists in freezing economic activity Worldwide . . .
Let us be under no illusions; this is a carefully planned operation. There is nothing spontaneous or accidental. Economic recession is engineered at national and global levels. In turn, this crisis is also integrated into US-NATO military and intelligence planning. It is intent not only upon weakening China, Russia and Iran; it also consists in destabilizing the economic fabric of the European Union (EU).
"Global Governance" A new stage in the evolution of global capitalism is unfolding. A system of "Global Governance" controlled by powerful financial interests including corporate foundations and Washington think tanks oversees decision-making at both the national and global levels. National governments become subordinate . . .
"World Government" Instructions are transmitted to national governments worldwide. The fear campaign plays a crucial role in building acceptance and social submission to this "supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and bankers."
Global governance establishes a consensus which is then imposed on "sovereign" national governments Worldwide, described by David Rockefeller as "national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." Essentially, this is an extended form of "regime change".
Thousands of politicians and officials must be convinced and/or bribed for this operation to succeed. It's an unsubtle form of "political arm twisting" (while respecting "social distancing").
The decision to close down the global economy with a view to "saving lives" has not only been accepted as a means to combating the virus, it has been sustained by media disinformation and the fear campaign. People do not question the consensus, a consensus which borders on the absurd.
Global Capitalism and "The Economic Landscape" The crisis redefines the structure of the global economic landscape. It destabilizes small and medium sized enterprises Worldwide; it precipitates entire sectors of the global economy including air travel, tourism, retail trade, manufacturing, etc. into bankruptcy. The lockdown creates famine in developing countries. It has geopolitical implications.
The Pentagon and US intelligence are involved. The corona crisis affects to conduct of US-NATO led wars in the Middle East including Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan and Yemen. It is also used to target specific countries including Iran and Venezuela.
This engineered crisis is unprecedented in world history. It is an act of war.
The lockdown triggers a process of disengagement of human and material resources from the productive process. The real economy is brought to a standstill. Curtailing economic activity undermines the "reproduction of real life." This not only pertains to the actual production of the "necessities of life" (food, health, education, and housing) it also pertains to the "reproduction" of social relations, political institutions, culture, and national identity. At the time of writing, the lockdown is not only triggering an economic crisis, it is also undermining and destroying the very fabric of civil society not to mention the nature of government and the institutions of the state (crippled by mounting debts), which will eventually be privatized under the supervision of Big Money creditors.
There are conflicts within the capitalist system which are rarely addressed by the mainstream media. Billionaires, powerful banking and financial institutions (which are creditors of both governments and corporations) are waging an undeclared war against the real economy. Whereas the Big Money financial and banking establishments are "creditors," the corporate entities of the real economy which are being destabilized and driven into bankruptcy are "debtors".
Bankruptcies This diabolical process is not limited to wiping out small and medium sized enterprises. Big Money is also the creditor of large corporations (including airlines, hotel chains, hi tech labs, retailers, import-export firms, etc.) which are now on the verge of bankruptcy.
The global financial establishment is not monolithic. It is marked by divisions and rivalry. The dominant Big Money faction seeks to destabilize its competitors from within. The results of which would be a string of bankruptcies of regional and national banking institutions as well as a process of global financial consolidation.
In the US, numerous retailers, airlines, restaurant and hotel chains filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February. But this is just the beginning. The big gush of bankruptcies will occur in the wake of the lockdown ("The New Normal"). And at the time of writing, the financial establishment is relentlessly pressuring (corrupt) national governments to postpone the lifting of the lockdown. And the governments are telling us that this is to "protect people against the virus".
Canada's province of Alberta which is largely dependent on oil revenues is bankrupt.
"Countries that represent over 50 per cent of the world's global GDP are closed for business. Economists looking for historical comparisons mention the 1929 stock crash, the 1974 economic crisis or the 2008 recession. But they admit that these all fall short of the toll that this pandemic could have." (Wired News UK, April 29, 2020).
In Britain, recent reports state (It's very British") "we do not know how many have gone bankrupt".
A chunk of Britain's business landscape may have already been permanently erased, as some 21,000 more UK businesses collapsed in March alone than the same month a year ago, according to data gathered by the Enterprise Research Centre, a group of university researchers.
What these reports fail to mention are the unspoken causes: a fear campaign on behalf of the creditors, instructions by corrupt governments to close down the economy, allegedly to "save lives," which is a big lie. Lives are not being saved, and they know it.
The coronavirus crisis "has ground US business to a halt." National economies are destabilized. The objective of Big Money is to weaken their competitors, "pick up the pieces" and eventually buy out or eliminate bankrupt corporations. And there are many to choose from.
Global Finance Capitalism The interests of Big Money (global financial interests) overlap with those of Big Pharma, Big Oil, the Defense contractors, etc. Major banking institutions in the US including JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, State Street Co. and Goldman Sachs, are investing in the war economy including the development of nuclear weapons under Trump's 1.2 trillion dollar nuclear weapons program (first established under Obama).
The ultimate objective of "Big Money" is to transform nation states (with their own institutions and a national economy) into "open economic territories" [Agenda 2020 and 2030 – Ed]. That was the fate of Iraq and Afghanistan. But now you can do it without sending in troops, by simply ordering subservient proxy governments integrated by corrupt politicians to close down their economy on humanitarian grounds, the so-called "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P) without the need for military intervention.
Impossible to estimate or evaluate. More than half the global economy is disrupted or at a standstill.
Let's be clear. This is an imperial agenda. What do the global financial elites want? To privatize the State? To own and privatize the entire planet?
The tendency is towards the centralization and concentration of economic power. Heavily indebted national governments are instruments of Big Money. They are proxies. Key political appointments are controlled by lobby groups representing Wall Street, The Military Industrial Complex, Big Pharma, Big Oil, the Corporate Media and the Digital Communications Giants, etc.
Big Money in Europe and America (through Washington Lobby groups) seek to control national governments.
In what direction are we going? What is the future of humanity? The current corona crisis is a sophisticated imperial project, which consists in worldwide domination by a handful of multibillion dollar conglomerates. Is this World War III? Global capitalism is destroying national capitalism.
The unspoken intent of global capitalism is the destruction of the nation state and its institutions leading to global poverty on an unprecedented scale.
The following citation by Lenin dated December 1915 at the height of the First World War pointed with foresight to some of the contradictions which we are presently facing. On the other hand, we should understand that there are no easy solutions and that this crisis is intended to reinforce imperialism and the clutch of global capitalism:
Stage Two: The Financial Crash Spearheaded by Fear and Stock Market Manipulation . . .
Stage Three: Lockdown, Confinement, Closing Down of the Global Economy Politicians are lying. Neither the lockdown nor the closing down of national economies constitute a solution to the public health crisis . . .
Who Controls the Politicians? Why are politicians lying? They are the political instruments of the financial establishment including the "Ultra-rich philanthropists." Their task is to carry out the global economic restructuring project which consists in freezing economic activity Worldwide . . .
Let us be under no illusions; this is a carefully planned operation. There is nothing spontaneous or accidental. Economic recession is engineered at national and global levels. In turn, this crisis is also integrated into US-NATO military and intelligence planning. It is intent not only upon weakening China, Russia and Iran; it also consists in destabilizing the economic fabric of the European Union (EU).
"Global Governance" A new stage in the evolution of global capitalism is unfolding. A system of "Global Governance" controlled by powerful financial interests including corporate foundations and Washington think tanks oversees decision-making at both the national and global levels. National governments become subordinate . . .
"World Government" Instructions are transmitted to national governments worldwide. The fear campaign plays a crucial role in building acceptance and social submission to this "supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and bankers."
Global governance establishes a consensus which is then imposed on "sovereign" national governments Worldwide, described by David Rockefeller as "national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." Essentially, this is an extended form of "regime change".
Thousands of politicians and officials must be convinced and/or bribed for this operation to succeed. It's an unsubtle form of "political arm twisting" (while respecting "social distancing").
The decision to close down the global economy with a view to "saving lives" has not only been accepted as a means to combating the virus, it has been sustained by media disinformation and the fear campaign. People do not question the consensus, a consensus which borders on the absurd.
Global Capitalism and "The Economic Landscape" The crisis redefines the structure of the global economic landscape. It destabilizes small and medium sized enterprises Worldwide; it precipitates entire sectors of the global economy including air travel, tourism, retail trade, manufacturing, etc. into bankruptcy. The lockdown creates famine in developing countries. It has geopolitical implications.
The Pentagon and US intelligence are involved. The corona crisis affects to conduct of US-NATO led wars in the Middle East including Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan and Yemen. It is also used to target specific countries including Iran and Venezuela.
This engineered crisis is unprecedented in world history. It is an act of war.
The lockdown triggers a process of disengagement of human and material resources from the productive process. The real economy is brought to a standstill. Curtailing economic activity undermines the "reproduction of real life." This not only pertains to the actual production of the "necessities of life" (food, health, education, and housing) it also pertains to the "reproduction" of social relations, political institutions, culture, and national identity. At the time of writing, the lockdown is not only triggering an economic crisis, it is also undermining and destroying the very fabric of civil society not to mention the nature of government and the institutions of the state (crippled by mounting debts), which will eventually be privatized under the supervision of Big Money creditors.
There are conflicts within the capitalist system which are rarely addressed by the mainstream media. Billionaires, powerful banking and financial institutions (which are creditors of both governments and corporations) are waging an undeclared war against the real economy. Whereas the Big Money financial and banking establishments are "creditors," the corporate entities of the real economy which are being destabilized and driven into bankruptcy are "debtors".
Bankruptcies This diabolical process is not limited to wiping out small and medium sized enterprises. Big Money is also the creditor of large corporations (including airlines, hotel chains, hi tech labs, retailers, import-export firms, etc.) which are now on the verge of bankruptcy.
The global financial establishment is not monolithic. It is marked by divisions and rivalry. The dominant Big Money faction seeks to destabilize its competitors from within. The results of which would be a string of bankruptcies of regional and national banking institutions as well as a process of global financial consolidation.
In the US, numerous retailers, airlines, restaurant and hotel chains filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February. But this is just the beginning. The big gush of bankruptcies will occur in the wake of the lockdown ("The New Normal"). And at the time of writing, the financial establishment is relentlessly pressuring (corrupt) national governments to postpone the lifting of the lockdown. And the governments are telling us that this is to "protect people against the virus".
Canada's province of Alberta which is largely dependent on oil revenues is bankrupt.
"Countries that represent over 50 per cent of the world's global GDP are closed for business. Economists looking for historical comparisons mention the 1929 stock crash, the 1974 economic crisis or the 2008 recession. But they admit that these all fall short of the toll that this pandemic could have." (Wired News UK, April 29, 2020).
In Britain, recent reports state (It's very British") "we do not know how many have gone bankrupt".
A chunk of Britain's business landscape may have already been permanently erased, as some 21,000 more UK businesses collapsed in March alone than the same month a year ago, according to data gathered by the Enterprise Research Centre, a group of university researchers.
What these reports fail to mention are the unspoken causes: a fear campaign on behalf of the creditors, instructions by corrupt governments to close down the economy, allegedly to "save lives," which is a big lie. Lives are not being saved, and they know it.
The coronavirus crisis "has ground US business to a halt." National economies are destabilized. The objective of Big Money is to weaken their competitors, "pick up the pieces" and eventually buy out or eliminate bankrupt corporations. And there are many to choose from.
Global Finance Capitalism The interests of Big Money (global financial interests) overlap with those of Big Pharma, Big Oil, the Defense contractors, etc. Major banking institutions in the US including JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, State Street Co. and Goldman Sachs, are investing in the war economy including the development of nuclear weapons under Trump's 1.2 trillion dollar nuclear weapons program (first established under Obama).
The ultimate objective of "Big Money" is to transform nation states (with their own institutions and a national economy) into "open economic territories" [Agenda 2020 and 2030 – Ed]. That was the fate of Iraq and Afghanistan. But now you can do it without sending in troops, by simply ordering subservient proxy governments integrated by corrupt politicians to close down their economy on humanitarian grounds, the so-called "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P) without the need for military intervention.

On the other hand, we should understand that there are no easy solutions and that this crisis is intended to reinforce imperialism and the clutch of global capitalism:
"There is no doubt that the development is going in the direction of a single World trust which will swallow up all enterprises and all states without exception. But the development in this direction is proceeding under such stress, with such a tempo, with such contradictions, conflicts and convulsions not only economical, but political national, etc. etc — that before a single world trust will be reached, before the respective financial national capitals will have formed a "World Union" of ultra imperialism, imperialism will explode and capitalism will turn into its opposite.

How to reverse the tide. The first priority is to repeal the lie.
In this regard, it is unfortunate that many people who are "progressive" (including prominent Left intellectuals) are—despite the lies—supportive of the lockdown and closing down of the economy as a solution to the public health emergency. That's the stance of the Democratic Party in the US, which goes against common sense.
Truth is a powerful weapon for repealing the lies of the corporate media and the governments.
When the Lie becomes the Truth there is No Moving Backwards Without the fear campaign and media propaganda, the actions taken by our governments would not have a leg to stand on. "Social Distancing" does not prevent the financial elites from providing instructions to corrupt politicians.
On the other hand, "social distancing" combined with confinement is being used as a means of social subordination. It prevents people from meeting as well as protesting this so-called New World Order. Organization, Truth and Solidarity are essential to reversing the tide. The first step of a worldwide movement is "counter-propaganda". Full story: globalresearch.ca

Leading Neocon directs Pentagon Middle East Planning
May 21, 2020 — The Global War on Terror or GWOT was declared in the wake of 9/11 by President George W. Bush. It basically committed the United States to work to eliminate all "terrorist" groups worldwide, whether or not the countries being targeted agreed that they were beset by terrorists and whether or not they welcomed US "help" . . . sovereignty exercised by foreign governments is and should be limited by the reach of the US military. Surrounding a competitor with military bases and warships is a concept that many in Washington are currently trying to sell regarding a suitable response to the Chinese economic and political challenge.

US is using Wheat as a Weapon of War in Syria
May 19, 2020 — Apache helicopters of the US occupation forces flew low Sunday morning, according to residents of the Adla village, in the Shaddadi countryside, south of Hasaka, as they dropped 'thermal balloons,' an incendiary weapon, causing the wheat fields to explode into flames while the hot dry winds fanned the raging fire. After delivering their fiery pay-load, the helicopters flew close to homes in an aggressive manner, which caused residents and especially small children to fear for their lives. The military maneuver was delivering a clear message: don't sell your wheat to the Syrian government. Head of Hasaka Agricultural Directorate Rajab Salameh said in a statement to SANA that several fires have broken out in agricultural fields in Tal Tamer countryside, as well.

More Useless Energy Policies
May 25, 2020 — The Australian Minister for Promoting Useless Energy thinks that hydrogen fuel, carbon capture and storage, soil carbon and biofuels are priorities for energy policy and greenhouse gas reduction . . .
'Hydrogen' does not supply net energy—burning it can return some of the energy used to produce it from hydrocarbons or electrolysis of water. It is an expensive explosive gas that makes less sense than Snowy 2—more energy in than out! Moreover, we have no infrastructure that can safely store, distribute or use hydrogen in our transport fleet, energy network or smelters. Governments should not force energy consumers or taxpayers to promote Canberra's thought bubbles—let the 'green hydrogen' entrepreneurs risk their own or shareholders' money.
'Carbon capture and storage' is another dumb idea. To capture CO2 emissions from coal, gas or biomass power stations consumes a lot of energy to separate, store, pipe and pump it underground (hoping it will stay there). It would be far better leave non-polluting CO2 in the lower atmosphere and surround every power station with crops and forests hungry for the CO2 plant food so essential to their growth. Trying to extract CO2 from the atmosphere is even dumber because the mighty oceans will quickly release CO2 from their huge stores to restore equilibrium between atmosphere and oceans. Even if it could be done, it is a bad idea—why steal plant food from grass, crops and forests?
'Soil carbon' is green-speak for what every sensible pastoralist tries to do—increase the humus and biological activity in soil. The quickest way to do this is via keyline/contour ripping to retain water in the soil (as shown in Australia by P. A. Yeoman), and by managed periodic heavy impact of grazing animals to promote pasture growth (as shown in Africa by Alan Savory). But it is total nonsense to turn 'carbon farming' into a costly rural rort run by a bureaucracy of soil samplers and modelers who think it will cool the climate.
'Biofuels' are another way to waste energy, food crops and trees to do jobs better done by coal, gas and oil—a crime against humanity and environment. If our Minister for Promoting Useless Energy is determined to sequester and store carbon, there is only one sensible way—restore the forestry industry. Harvest mature forest trees for poles, posts, sleepers, paper, cardboard or dance floors. Then replant with new trees. Young trees grow rapidly and extract much CO2. But old trees reach a stage of carbon equilibrium when the CO2 they extract in summer is equal to what they lose as leaves, branches and trunks fall to frosts, droughts, bushfires and termites.
Comment: Atmospheric CO2 comes primarily from the ocean, not industry; more, much more atmospheric CO2 plant food would be beneficial to all. Present warming is a natural function of The Sun's Milankovitch Cycle.

The Abomination that makes Desolate
In Leviticus 26, God informed Israel of the blessings of obedience and warned of the curses for disobedience to His Law, for idolatry, neglect of His sabbaths, and disrespect to His sanctuary should their lack of sanctification or ungodliness make it unclean and desolate.
Leviticus 26:31, "I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not receive your offerings of incense".
The purpose of the Law and its ordinances was to separate clean from unclean; always remember "that without holiness no man shall see God," and that the Mercy Seat without Blood—is a Judgment Seat. Should the altar become profaned, Israel's continual sacrifice must cease to be offered, precluding intercession by the priest before the golden altar of incense, and the removal of the sins of individual Israelites and of the nation.
Though Jesus had overcome all the assaults of His enemies in the Temple they declined to give Him their faith, at length by their absolute silence. As Lord of the temple which had rejected Him in the person of those with legal authority in it, Messiah, the Spirit, the hope of the Gentiles and the blessing of Israel was murdered in the temple, and from that time onward it was "the Jews' house" and a hall of desolation (Matthew 23:38-39).
In Matthew 24:1-3 "Jesus departed the temple and His disciples came to Him, admiring the stones and buildings of the temple which was the pride of the nation." [The whole temple had been built with the greatest cost and magnificence, so nothing was more stupendous than the uncommon measure of those stones, some of which, particularly those employed in the foundations, were above 90 feet in length; and the superstructure was worthy of such foundations. And some of the stones were of the whitest marble, 70 feet long, 8 feet high, and 9 feet broad. Indeed, the marble of the temple was so white that, according to Josephus, it appeared at a distance like a mountain of snow; while the gilding of several of its external parts, especially when the sun shone upon it, rendered it a most splendid and beautiful spectacle (Bishop Newton).
"Jesus said to them, do you see all these buildings? Truly I assure you, not one stone here shall be left upon another, which will not be thrown down." [These words fell on the ears of the disciples and awed them into silence; besides, Judea was at peace. It was not till they had crossed to the Mount of Olives that even the foremost and most favoured ventured to ask their questions].
By observing these things, the disciples suggest what a pity that such a grand edifice should be destroyed, and how unaccountable it is that a place of so much strength could easily be demolished. Titus was desirous of preserving it and the city and sent Josephus and other Jews again and again to persuade them to a surrender, but One greater than Titus had determined it otherwise. The Jews themselves first set fire to the porticoes of the temple, then the Romans. One soldier, neither waiting for any command, nor trembling at such an attempt, but urged by a certain Divine impulse, says Josephus, mounted the shoulder of his companion, thrust a burning brand in at the golden window, and thereby set fire to the building of the temple itself. Titus ran immediately to the temple, and commanded the soldiers to extinguish the flame; but neither exhortations nor threatenings could restrain their violence; they either could not, or would not hear those behind encouraging those before to set fire to the temple. Titus was still for preserving the holy place, and commanded his soldiers to be beaten for disobeying him. But a certain warlike and vehement fury, overcame their reverence for their general, and their dread of his commands. A soldier, in the dark, set fire to the doors; and thus, as Josephus says, the temple was burned against the will of Caesar. The city also shared the same fate, and was burned and destroyed. The Romans burned the extremest parts of the city, and demolished the walls; three towers only and some part of the wall were left standing, for the better encampment of the soldiers, and to show to posterity what a city, and how fortified, the valour of the Romans had taken. All the rest of the city was so demolished and leveled with the ground, that they who came to see it could not believe it had ever been inhabited.
Hegesippus the Nazarene, a Christian chronicler of the early Church who wrote against the heresies of the Gnostics and of Marcion said, "Titus was astonished, when he destroyed the temple; at which time his soldiers plundered it, and took away "the gifts," with which it is was adorned. These rich and valuable things were dedicated to it, and either laid up in it, or hung upon its walls and pillars as was usual in other temples. These may have included the golden table given by Pompey, and the spoils which Herod dedicated; and particularly the golden vine, which was a gift of his; besides multitudes of other valuable things, which were greatly enriching and ornamental to it."
Thus the prophetic Words of Moses and Jesus Messiah were fulfilled. Isaiah 55:11, "My Word that goes forth from My mouth it shall not return to Me void, but shall accomplish what I desire and prosper in the matter whereto I sent it." Judea would murder their Messiah, God's true Temple, and Israel's near Kinsman Redeemer: "His blood would upon them and their children" (Matthew 27:25).
"And as Jesus sat upon the Mount of Olives that evening, the disciples came to Him privately, asking, Tell us, 1). When shall these things be? And 2). What shall be the sign of Your (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming? And 3). What shall be the sign of the consummation?"
1). The first question asked by the disciples was fulfilled in AD70 when the Israelites were betrayed by lawless assimilated Edomite Jews (Genesis 3:15) whose forebears had betrayed the Judeans to Nebuchadnezzar and razed the first temple.
2). Their second question was "what shall be the sign of Your (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming." This passage is the first occurrence of the Greek word 'parousia,' which was so prominent in the teaching of the Epistles (I Thessalonians 2:19; 3:13; James 5:7; I John 2:28, etc.). It refers to Christ's unseen second Coming: His arrival and subsequent Presence in W_O_R_D form through the revelation of the Seven Seals by His Prophet William Branham. This was not His second physical advent which will take place after the consummation of life and the binding of Satan when Jesus and the glorified New Testament saints "tread down the nuclear ashes of the wicked" into the millennium (Malachi 4:1-3). This has been a stumbling block to most denominational believers for centuries because they have been anticipating the glorified Man to mysteriously drop from the sky, despite the fact Jesus told us NOT to look for the Man but for restoration of the faith once delivered to the apostolic saints (Matthew 24:22-28; Zechariah 14:7; Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 17:11; Jude 3).
The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form. Brother Branham said, "How will . . . the people that's believing Him know it unless they're constantly in the Word, to know what He is! Daniel said, "The wise shall know; but the foolish, the unwise, wouldn't know. They shall know their God." Now, now, how He shall appear in the last days, is to bring the people back to the Word, so that the Bride will know Her Husband, know Her Mate, the revealed Word. That's why this has to happen".
We are blessed to live at the most glorious point in world history. The mystery of God was finished in 1963 when Christ opened the Sealed Book and returned to earth in W_O_R_D form through the lips of His Prophet William Branham. By God's grace we now have the perfect interpretation of His Word with divine vindication drawing us to maturity in the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. Paul said, "when that which is perfect or complete—the fullness of the Word—is come, that which was in part, PART-Word and Christ's mediation for the fullness of the Word, shall be done away" (I Corinthians 13:10). Meanwhile, the world is falling apart again: the apostate (once) Protestant churches and once Christian nations, having rejected their Lord and put Him without the camp, are quite insane. Witness the united States as "the image unto the beast" on its inevitable decline, led to perdition by Satan on his "pale horse with authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth".
"The sign of Christ's second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming" prophesied in Daniel 7:9, Revelation 1:14 and 10:1-4 was the Pillar of Cloud that appeared on February 28, 1963 warning the world of impending judgment in the dispensation change from Son of God and Mediator, to the prophetic Office Son of man and Judge as mandated by God's first Bible, "The Witness of the Stars" (Psalm 19:1-3). Isaiah 34:4, 40:8, Matthew 24:29, Romans 10:14-18, Revelation 6:13-14 and 12:8-9 assure us "God's Word that is forever settled in heaven" (Psalm 119:89). These images were published in the May 17, 1963 issue of Life Magazine. Science, (April 19, 1963), Weatherwise, (June, 1963), scientific journals, Encyclopaedia Year Books, and books on Meteorology. Scientists and astronomers have been unable to provide a natural explanation for this phenomenon.
This Cloud manifest a second time, on March 8, 1963, over Mount Sunset, Arizona, seen only by the Prophet who was caught up with the theophanies of the angels to the first six Church Ages to complete the fullness of the Spirit that had anointed each Messenger in portion. This symbolism was necessary because only the fullness of the Spirit could reveal Christ, the fullness of the Word. A prophet is always a sign of judgment and in addition to a sign in the heavens, the Lord must send and vindicate a prophet to deliver warning and a way to escape the oncoming storm of judgment (Genesis 18:17; Isaiah 48:5; Amos 3:7). Brother Branham was the greatest prophet since Enoch who warned of the consummation by water; his ministry "proclaimed the day of vengeance of our God" and warned of the soon coming destruction by nuclear fire (Isaiah 61:2b; Malachi 4:4:1-3, 5, 6b).
In Newsletter 752, "Debunking? the Seventh Angel and His Message" we discuss this Supernatural phenomenon above the atmosphere where there is no moisture to form a cloud. Many times the Prophet foretold its appearance. In his Message, "Is this the Sign of the End Time, Sir" (62-1230e) six brethren described their spiritual dreams and one described a vision, they came to pass on March 8, 1963.
3). The disciple's third question was "what shall be the sign of the consummation of life?" Jesus described these signs throughout the Gospels and in the Book of Revelation. For instance, in the remainder of Matthew 24 He outlined the following two thousand years, sketching the function of the six written Seals, the ministry of Israel's two witnesses, Christ's mediation in the office Son of God, and His unseen parousia Coming in the office Son of Man after the close of the seven Church Ages when redemption was over. In Matthew 25 He explained His parousia coming to us Gentiles and elaborated on its purpose, the millennium, and the Great White Throne Judgment.
In accordance with Leviticus 26 Nebuchadnezzar made the temple desolate as prophesied by the Jeremiah 25:1-18. So when Daniel prayed he implored, "Hear the prayer of Your servant, and his supplications, and cause Your face to shine upon Your sanctuary that is desolate" (Daniel 9:17).
The Babylonian Empire was succeeded by Medo-Persia which set Judah free to return to Jerusalem. In 334BC Alexander the Great invaded the Achaemenid (Persian) Empire and began a series of campaigns that lasted 10 years. Thus the Medo-Persian Empire was succeeded by the Greek Empire of Alexander the Great which upon his untimely death was divided among his four generals.
Antiochus Epiphanes IV who ruled the Syrian division desolated the temple by sacrificing a sow on the great altar, making a broth of its carcass and scattering it about the sanctuary. He burned the Torah, forbad circumcision, and in 167BC, dedicated the temple to the Olympic spirit of Jupiter or Zeus, whose incarnation he claimed to be.
Daniel, 8:9-13, "He challenged (Michael) the Prince of the saints, stopped the continual sacrifice, and profaned God's sanctuary. It was because of Judah's transgressions that God gave up His people and their sacrifice. And the wicked prospered and cast down the truth to the ground. Then Daniel heard one saint ask another, when will the daily sacrifice be restored, and for how long will the transgression of desolation cause both the sanctuary and the people to be trodden under foot?"
Daniel 11:31 also alludes to Antiochus Epiphanes "polluting the sanctuary of strength, by taking away the daily sacrifice, and placing the abomination that makes desolate." He was a type of the final antichrist and as we read through this chapter, the prophecy points to that end-time prince of Rome when he is incarnate by Satan and called the beast (Revelation 13:1-8; 17:11-18; 19:20; 20:10).
In the Hebrew of the Old Testament and the Greek of the New, the word 'abomination' refers to some detestable thing, like unclean food, mixed marriages, swine or an idol that profanes the sanctuary or is otherwise abhorrent, or an appallment laying to waste.
Clearly we are living in a detestable era wherein those things that are condoned and even encouraged by church and state are "abomination to the Lord God." For instance:
Leviticus 20:13, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them".
Deuteronomy 22:5, "The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination to the Lord your God".
Deuteronomy 24:1-4, "When a man takes a wife, and marries her, if he has found some indecency in her (Deuteronomy 22:13-21): then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out from his house, and she leaves and goes and becomes another man's wife, if the latter husband turns against her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband dies who took her to be his wife; then her former husband who sent her away may not take her again to be his wife, since she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the Lord: and you shall not bring sin on the land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance".
Deuteronomy 27:15, "Cursed is the man who makes a graven image or a molten image, an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up [the idol] in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen".
Proverbs 12:22, "Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are His delight".
Proverbs 20:10, "Diverse weights, and diverse measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord".
Daniel 9:27; 12:11, "The pope of the Roman Universal church will make a firm covenant with Jewry for one week [of years]: and in the midst of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering, to enforce the abomination [of her trinity dogma which is the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:15-18)] he will desolate Israel's third temple, even until the consummation, and that decreed will be poured upon the desolate".
Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14, "When you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains." At that time "the abomination of desolation" was Roman Legionnaires surveying Jerusalem from Mount Scopus prior to their investment. As I write "the abomination of desolation" is es Sakhra, the Dome of the Rock. This will be demolished by the earthquake of Zechariah 14:4-5 and replaced by ,"a house of prayer for all people" (Isaiah 58:7. its dedication in the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week will be usurped by the Devil-incarnate pope and it will become "the abomination of desolation." "That which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God" (Luke 16:15).
Revelation 21:27, "Nothing unclean and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall enter the gates of New Jerusalem, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life".
Throughout Scripture there were many abominations that have desolated God's sanctuary. Jesus prophesied, "Destroy this Temple [of My body], and in three days I will raise it up" (John 2:19). "We are members of His Body, of His flesh, and of His bones . . . we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed" (Ephesians 5:30; I Corinthians 15:51).
Speaking on the Mount of Olives He prophesied, "When you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (who so reads, let him understand): this is the signal for those in Judea to escape to the mountains: anyone on the housetop should not come down to take anything out of his house: neither let he who is in the field return back for his clothes. And woe to them with child, and to they who give suck in those days! But pray that your flight be not in the winter [when the hills are full of snow], neither on the sabbath day" when the City gates are closed for you will be trapped (Matthew 24:3, 15-20).
"The abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel" would be perpetrated by Rome, the fourth Gentile world empire that would raze the Temple, and He foretold two desolations by Rome.
Daniel 9:26-27, "After seven weeks and three score and two weeks (483 prophetic years each of 360-days counting from the going forth of king Cyrus' command "to restore and to build Jerusalem") Messiah will be unjustly executed and left with nothing: and the people of [Roman Generals Vespasian and his son Titus who shall come will destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a military overthrow . . ."
The Roman prince of whom Daniel speaks in verse 26 is the one to whom Jesus referred in Matthew 24:15 and Luke 21:20. This first desolation by Rome was when the army of General Titus, later Caesar, destroyed the City and temple in AD70.
Daniel's seventy weeks are reckoned against 490 sabbtical years or 70 jubilees in which the Judeans cultivated the land instead of allowing it to rest. Consequently God had them taken as captives to Babylon for 70 years while their land enjoyed its desolations of rest (Leviticus 26:34-35; II Chronicles 36:20-21; Jeremiah 29:10-12). Daniel's Seventy Weeks commenced with Cyrus' command to terminate the Captivity and release the Judeans.
". . . and unto the end of the war desolations are determined."
This is Israel's "war" of unbelief and disobedience against the Lord God. This will continue unto the end of Daniel's Seventieth Week when the sixfold purpose of Gabriel's instructions to Daniel are fulfilled (Daniel 9:24) and the nation of 144,000 elect Israelites is born-again in one day, their revelation will "anoint the Most Holy"—Israel's King Jesus and His Wife, their Gentile Queen, the elect Church. Brother Branham said, "His people had just crowned Him King of kings and Lord of lords; [they are] coming back to His holy Temple, [their King and Queen] anointed with the Presence of God to live and to reign through the Millennium with His Church. Amen! The appearing with the mighty King to take Her place at His side, the new royal anointed Temple."
[I Corinthians 6:19-20, "Do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Ghost Who is in you, Whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body"].
"Now, the sixfold purpose of Revelations 6:1 to Revelations 19:21 is fulfilled" (The Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel's Vision to Daniel, p. 70:134-135).
Once born-again these elect Israelites will be martyred (Matthew 27:25; Revelation 6:11; 14:12-13; 15:2-4) which will bring the consummation of the six thousand years through which man has laboured against sin, and our thousand year sinless day of rest, the millennium.
Luke 21:24, "The Judeans shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations (after Titus destroys the City): and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled" then God will open the eyes of Israel's elect (Romans 11:25).
Daniel 9:27, "And the prince of Rome [the Devil-incarnate Pope in Daniel's Seventieth Week after the close of the Gentile dispensation] will covenant with the Jewry for one week of years: And in the midst of the week [when the global economy is prospering he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation [which Jewry will have restored] to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate".
The second Roman desolation of the Temple will be caused when the Pope profanes the third temple the Jews will erect on Mount Moriah. He will do away with the animal sacrifices that will have been restored, seat himself in the temple and force his trinitarian "mark of the beast" upon the Jews as he imposed it upon us Gentiles following the First Nicaea Council (Isaiah 14:12-15; Revelation 12:8-17; 13:4-18).
I'll paraphrase what Paul wrote in II Thessalonians 2:1-12, "We implore you, brethren, by the "parousia" Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him; that you don't become nervous and unsettled if you hear of visions from Fatima, superstitious rumors or secret revelations contrary to the Word, that the day of Christ [and the end of the Gentile dispensation and Daniel's Seventieth Week] are at hand."
[This explains what Jesus meant when He said, "If they say I am in Jerusalem, in Rome or some secret place, believe them not. My "parousia" Coming will be universal and cannot be observed by the eye but must be seen (or understood) by faith" (Matthew 24:23-28).
Look up the word "coming" in your Greek lexicon and learn to distinguish between the words 'parousia' and 'erchomai.' In II Thessalonians 2:1-2 Paul is telling us to remember that this is a 'parousia' Coming and not the physical return of a Man. So there is no need to chase rumors or visions because His Presence will be manifest to all of the saints individually by their faith or understanding of the mysteries that were hidden under the Seven Seals.
Christ's 'parousia' is God's Presence made known personally to His saints in the fullness of His Word through the revelation of the Seven Seals. It is this common understanding that calls both the wise and foolish virgins OUT from "her," Rome and her once Protestant harlot daughter churches INTO "Him," Christ the Word (Matthew 25:1-13; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 18:4).
Remember the church is a woman, and on the forehead of the Judaeo-Roman church Jesus saw "the caption: mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth" whereas a plate of pure gold on the mitre of Israel's high was engraved, "HOLINESS TO THE LORD" (Leviticus 26:36-38; Revelation 17:5). Rome is the final desolator; her Devil-incarnate Pope will profane the third the temple.
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for Daniel's Seventieth Week shall not commence until the whole world apostatizes, then that man of sin, the son of perdition will be publicly revealed; who defies all gods and tears down all objects of worship or adoration until he enters the temple of God, claiming himself to be God."
"You should remember I told you this when I was with you. And know that it is only the Presence of the Holy Spirit that prevents him from revealing himself now. For the mystery of iniquity is already at work: however the Holy Spirit will continue to restrain him until He leaves the earth in the departure of His Body, Christ's Bride."
"After this the Wicked One will be made known to the world, whom the Lord shall consume with the Word and render powerless with the brightness of his 'parousia' [because Light disperses darkness, and he cannot stand before faith]. Satan's 'parousia' will be accompanied by miracles, signs, lying wonders and in all of the deceitfulness of unrighteousness in his followers who will perish because they received not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved" (John 14:6b; II Thessalonians 2:5-12; Revelation 13:3-4, 8; 19:15).
Satan has been incarnating himself gradually through the spirit of antichrist by "the deeds of the nicolaitans which Jesus hates" and which became "the doctrine of the nicolaitans" when the Judaeo-Roman church was organized in AD325 at the First Nicaea Council; eventually the false prophet was made pope and crowned with a triple crown. Soon the pope will be incarnate by Satan, and as the beast he will be worshipped by the lost.
Jesus said, "Thy Word is truth" and these perish because God did not receive their advances. God's love is elective love. He loves whom He will because He is sovereign, and He is perfect. It is not that the Man of Sin and his followers don't love God; but God hates them because they do not receive His love, the Word. And to reject faith and the seal of God is to take the mark of the beast. The evidence of God's love is communion or fellowship with Him by faith (John 16:13). Spiritual revelation is God communicating with you, personally expressing your mutual relationship.
"Because they have rejected relationship with Him by faith, God will send them a strong delusion, causing them to believe the lie [Satan told Eve—that God loves everybody, so it matters not what one believes so long as you love Jesus]. And those who take pleasure in unrighteousness [by reasoning against the faith], receive the mark of the beast and are damned for not being restored to the truth" (Malachi 4:6; Revelation 22:10-19).
The last abomination that makes desolate will be Rome's final Pope incarnate by Satan who will unite the world in Roman Catholicism against the Word, and together with his deceived followers, he will be cast into the lake of Fire after Armageddon.
Revelation 19:20, "And the [Devil-incarnate] beast was taken, and with him the false prophet [Pope emeritus] who performed miracles in his presence [claiming infallibility in Peter's chair], with which he deceived all who received the mark of the beast [trinitarianism], and who worshipped his Protestant image. These were cast alive into the lake of Fire burning with brimstone" (Revelation 2:20-23).
Es Sakhra, the Dome of the Rock is the present "abomination that makes the sanctuary desolate" and prevents Israel from reviving their animal sacrifices and temple worship. Here Abraham was to offer Isaac, a type of Christ who was sacrificed on this mountain for Adam's entire race. Jerusalem is God's only provided place of worship for those under the Old Covenant (Deuteronomy 16:2, 5-6). God requires all adult male Israelites to assemble on this mountain three times in the year to observe the feasts of Unleavened Bread and Passover, Pentecost and Booths. Until Israel observes the Old Covenant they claim to believe, God cannot open their eyes to His New Covenant. The earthquake that divides the Mount of Olives will demolish es Sakhra and an irresistible Muslim invasion will cause a mass exodus of non-Semitic, anti-Semitic Israeli self-styled Jews enabling Jacob's children to return for redemption without "fear of the Jews".
Despite the illegal actions of the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews Donald Trump and Jared Kushner in Palestine and the Golan Heights, their impasse is without geopolitical or diplomatic resolution. To Christians it is of historic and prophetic interest only, for unlike Moslems, self-styled Jews, Israelites and Roman Catholics, who are mutual enemies, we are sojourners with no continuing city here; ours is a Spiritual Kingdom Headquartered in heaven. In God's time His hand will cleanse the temple site of this abomination, as prophesied in Zechariah 14:1-4:"behold, the day of the Lord comes, when God will gather all nations to fight against Jerusalem; the city will be taken and the houses rifled, the loot divided, and the women raped; half the city shall go into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city."
Jerusalem was made an international city by UN Resolution 181 of 1947, and when the State of Israel was proclaimed at midnight, May 14, 1948, Palestine was already partitioned, with the Eastern half of Old Jerusalem in Jordan (whose King is responsible for maintaining and protecting the Dome of the Rock).
The Six-Day War (June 5-10, 1967) saw the whole of Jerusalem brought under Israeli sovereignty, igniting religious and multilateral conflicts that have blazed ever since. In 1975, the Houston Chronicle reported Secretary of State Henry Kissinger proposed "that Jerusalem become an international city with the control of holy places and the religious administration given to the pope." Since then, the Vatican has itself proposed moving from Rome to Jerusalem, and has held numerous meetings to that effect with high-ranking Ashkenazim-Jewish officials of the Marxist State of Israel.
The Covenant of Daniel 9:27 giving the Vatican Political Authority over Jerusalem was settled in 1993. In a story broken first by La Stampa in Italy, Shishi in Israel, and verified with documented proof in Haaretz, on May 1993, Shimon Peres promised the pope hegemony of the Old City of Jerusalem by the end of the year 2000.
In July, 1997, the powerful Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) finally revealed its plans for Israel in its Middle East Task Force Report, headed by Henry Seigman. It was recommended that Israel withdraw to its 1948 lines, that Jerusalem be divided, and that half the city be the capital of a Palestinian state.
On March 6, 2000, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat declared, "The year 2000 is the year for the Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. . ." Under the terms of the new peace accord signed in with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, September 2000 is the target date for completion of final status negotiations. President Arafat was poisoned and twenty years later Palestine is still occupied by so-called Jews.
The last reference to "the abomination that makes desolate" found in the Book of Daniel does not refer to es Sakhra, but to the Beast who will cancel the daily sacrifice the Jews will have restored, and enforce Roman Catholicism by the military might of his (once) Protestant image (Revelation 13:8; 15-18). "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days" (Daniel 12:11-12).
Referring to this final abomination that makes desolate, Jesus "saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the Christian martyrs: . . . and in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth" (Revelation 17:6; 18:24). nl1109.htm
Leviticus 26:31, "I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not receive your offerings of incense".
The purpose of the Law and its ordinances was to separate clean from unclean; always remember "that without holiness no man shall see God," and that the Mercy Seat without Blood—is a Judgment Seat. Should the altar become profaned, Israel's continual sacrifice must cease to be offered, precluding intercession by the priest before the golden altar of incense, and the removal of the sins of individual Israelites and of the nation.
Though Jesus had overcome all the assaults of His enemies in the Temple they declined to give Him their faith, at length by their absolute silence. As Lord of the temple which had rejected Him in the person of those with legal authority in it, Messiah, the Spirit, the hope of the Gentiles and the blessing of Israel was murdered in the temple, and from that time onward it was "the Jews' house" and a hall of desolation (Matthew 23:38-39).
In Matthew 24:1-3 "Jesus departed the temple and His disciples came to Him, admiring the stones and buildings of the temple which was the pride of the nation." [The whole temple had been built with the greatest cost and magnificence, so nothing was more stupendous than the uncommon measure of those stones, some of which, particularly those employed in the foundations, were above 90 feet in length; and the superstructure was worthy of such foundations. And some of the stones were of the whitest marble, 70 feet long, 8 feet high, and 9 feet broad. Indeed, the marble of the temple was so white that, according to Josephus, it appeared at a distance like a mountain of snow; while the gilding of several of its external parts, especially when the sun shone upon it, rendered it a most splendid and beautiful spectacle (Bishop Newton).
"Jesus said to them, do you see all these buildings? Truly I assure you, not one stone here shall be left upon another, which will not be thrown down." [These words fell on the ears of the disciples and awed them into silence; besides, Judea was at peace. It was not till they had crossed to the Mount of Olives that even the foremost and most favoured ventured to ask their questions].
By observing these things, the disciples suggest what a pity that such a grand edifice should be destroyed, and how unaccountable it is that a place of so much strength could easily be demolished. Titus was desirous of preserving it and the city and sent Josephus and other Jews again and again to persuade them to a surrender, but One greater than Titus had determined it otherwise. The Jews themselves first set fire to the porticoes of the temple, then the Romans. One soldier, neither waiting for any command, nor trembling at such an attempt, but urged by a certain Divine impulse, says Josephus, mounted the shoulder of his companion, thrust a burning brand in at the golden window, and thereby set fire to the building of the temple itself. Titus ran immediately to the temple, and commanded the soldiers to extinguish the flame; but neither exhortations nor threatenings could restrain their violence; they either could not, or would not hear those behind encouraging those before to set fire to the temple. Titus was still for preserving the holy place, and commanded his soldiers to be beaten for disobeying him. But a certain warlike and vehement fury, overcame their reverence for their general, and their dread of his commands. A soldier, in the dark, set fire to the doors; and thus, as Josephus says, the temple was burned against the will of Caesar. The city also shared the same fate, and was burned and destroyed. The Romans burned the extremest parts of the city, and demolished the walls; three towers only and some part of the wall were left standing, for the better encampment of the soldiers, and to show to posterity what a city, and how fortified, the valour of the Romans had taken. All the rest of the city was so demolished and leveled with the ground, that they who came to see it could not believe it had ever been inhabited. Hegesippus the Nazarene, a Christian chronicler of the early Church who wrote against the heresies of the Gnostics and of Marcion said, "Titus was astonished, when he destroyed the temple; at which time his soldiers plundered it, and took away "the gifts," with which it is was adorned. These rich and valuable things were dedicated to it, and either laid up in it, or hung upon its walls and pillars as was usual in other temples. These may have included the golden table given by Pompey, and the spoils which Herod dedicated; and particularly the golden vine, which was a gift of his; besides multitudes of other valuable things, which were greatly enriching and ornamental to it."
Thus the prophetic Words of Moses and Jesus Messiah were fulfilled. Isaiah 55:11, "My Word that goes forth from My mouth it shall not return to Me void, but shall accomplish what I desire and prosper in the matter whereto I sent it." Judea would murder their Messiah, God's true Temple, and Israel's near Kinsman Redeemer: "His blood would upon them and their children" (Matthew 27:25).
"And as Jesus sat upon the Mount of Olives that evening, the disciples came to Him privately, asking, Tell us, 1). When shall these things be? And 2). What shall be the sign of Your (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming? And 3). What shall be the sign of the consummation?"
1). The first question asked by the disciples was fulfilled in AD70 when the Israelites were betrayed by lawless assimilated Edomite Jews (Genesis 3:15) whose forebears had betrayed the Judeans to Nebuchadnezzar and razed the first temple.
2). Their second question was "what shall be the sign of Your (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming." This passage is the first occurrence of the Greek word 'parousia,' which was so prominent in the teaching of the Epistles (I Thessalonians 2:19; 3:13; James 5:7; I John 2:28, etc.). It refers to Christ's unseen second Coming: His arrival and subsequent Presence in W_O_R_D form through the revelation of the Seven Seals by His Prophet William Branham. This was not His second physical advent which will take place after the consummation of life and the binding of Satan when Jesus and the glorified New Testament saints "tread down the nuclear ashes of the wicked" into the millennium (Malachi 4:1-3). This has been a stumbling block to most denominational believers for centuries because they have been anticipating the glorified Man to mysteriously drop from the sky, despite the fact Jesus told us NOT to look for the Man but for restoration of the faith once delivered to the apostolic saints (Matthew 24:22-28; Zechariah 14:7; Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 17:11; Jude 3).
The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form. Brother Branham said, "How will . . . the people that's believing Him know it unless they're constantly in the Word, to know what He is! Daniel said, "The wise shall know; but the foolish, the unwise, wouldn't know. They shall know their God." Now, now, how He shall appear in the last days, is to bring the people back to the Word, so that the Bride will know Her Husband, know Her Mate, the revealed Word. That's why this has to happen".
We are blessed to live at the most glorious point in world history. The mystery of God was finished in 1963 when Christ opened the Sealed Book and returned to earth in W_O_R_D form through the lips of His Prophet William Branham. By God's grace we now have the perfect interpretation of His Word with divine vindication drawing us to maturity in the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. Paul said, "when that which is perfect or complete—the fullness of the Word—is come, that which was in part, PART-Word and Christ's mediation for the fullness of the Word, shall be done away" (I Corinthians 13:10). Meanwhile, the world is falling apart again: the apostate (once) Protestant churches and once Christian nations, having rejected their Lord and put Him without the camp, are quite insane. Witness the united States as "the image unto the beast" on its inevitable decline, led to perdition by Satan on his "pale horse with authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth".
"The sign of Christ's second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming" prophesied in Daniel 7:9, Revelation 1:14 and 10:1-4 was the Pillar of Cloud that appeared on February 28, 1963 warning the world of impending judgment in the dispensation change from Son of God and Mediator, to the prophetic Office Son of man and Judge as mandated by God's first Bible, "The Witness of the Stars" (Psalm 19:1-3). Isaiah 34:4, 40:8, Matthew 24:29, Romans 10:14-18, Revelation 6:13-14 and 12:8-9 assure us "God's Word that is forever settled in heaven" (Psalm 119:89). These images were published in the May 17, 1963 issue of Life Magazine. Science, (April 19, 1963), Weatherwise, (June, 1963), scientific journals, Encyclopaedia Year Books, and books on Meteorology. Scientists and astronomers have been unable to provide a natural explanation for this phenomenon. This Cloud manifest a second time, on March 8, 1963, over Mount Sunset, Arizona, seen only by the Prophet who was caught up with the theophanies of the angels to the first six Church Ages to complete the fullness of the Spirit that had anointed each Messenger in portion. This symbolism was necessary because only the fullness of the Spirit could reveal Christ, the fullness of the Word. A prophet is always a sign of judgment and in addition to a sign in the heavens, the Lord must send and vindicate a prophet to deliver warning and a way to escape the oncoming storm of judgment (Genesis 18:17; Isaiah 48:5; Amos 3:7). Brother Branham was the greatest prophet since Enoch who warned of the consummation by water; his ministry "proclaimed the day of vengeance of our God" and warned of the soon coming destruction by nuclear fire (Isaiah 61:2b; Malachi 4:4:1-3, 5, 6b).
In Newsletter 752, "Debunking? the Seventh Angel and His Message" we discuss this Supernatural phenomenon above the atmosphere where there is no moisture to form a cloud. Many times the Prophet foretold its appearance. In his Message, "Is this the Sign of the End Time, Sir" (62-1230e) six brethren described their spiritual dreams and one described a vision, they came to pass on March 8, 1963.
3). The disciple's third question was "what shall be the sign of the consummation of life?" Jesus described these signs throughout the Gospels and in the Book of Revelation. For instance, in the remainder of Matthew 24 He outlined the following two thousand years, sketching the function of the six written Seals, the ministry of Israel's two witnesses, Christ's mediation in the office Son of God, and His unseen parousia Coming in the office Son of Man after the close of the seven Church Ages when redemption was over. In Matthew 25 He explained His parousia coming to us Gentiles and elaborated on its purpose, the millennium, and the Great White Throne Judgment.
In accordance with Leviticus 26 Nebuchadnezzar made the temple desolate as prophesied by the Jeremiah 25:1-18. So when Daniel prayed he implored, "Hear the prayer of Your servant, and his supplications, and cause Your face to shine upon Your sanctuary that is desolate" (Daniel 9:17).
The Babylonian Empire was succeeded by Medo-Persia which set Judah free to return to Jerusalem. In 334BC Alexander the Great invaded the Achaemenid (Persian) Empire and began a series of campaigns that lasted 10 years. Thus the Medo-Persian Empire was succeeded by the Greek Empire of Alexander the Great which upon his untimely death was divided among his four generals.
Antiochus Epiphanes IV who ruled the Syrian division desolated the temple by sacrificing a sow on the great altar, making a broth of its carcass and scattering it about the sanctuary. He burned the Torah, forbad circumcision, and in 167BC, dedicated the temple to the Olympic spirit of Jupiter or Zeus, whose incarnation he claimed to be.
Daniel, 8:9-13, "He challenged (Michael) the Prince of the saints, stopped the continual sacrifice, and profaned God's sanctuary. It was because of Judah's transgressions that God gave up His people and their sacrifice. And the wicked prospered and cast down the truth to the ground. Then Daniel heard one saint ask another, when will the daily sacrifice be restored, and for how long will the transgression of desolation cause both the sanctuary and the people to be trodden under foot?"
Daniel 11:31 also alludes to Antiochus Epiphanes "polluting the sanctuary of strength, by taking away the daily sacrifice, and placing the abomination that makes desolate." He was a type of the final antichrist and as we read through this chapter, the prophecy points to that end-time prince of Rome when he is incarnate by Satan and called the beast (Revelation 13:1-8; 17:11-18; 19:20; 20:10).
In the Hebrew of the Old Testament and the Greek of the New, the word 'abomination' refers to some detestable thing, like unclean food, mixed marriages, swine or an idol that profanes the sanctuary or is otherwise abhorrent, or an appallment laying to waste.
Clearly we are living in a detestable era wherein those things that are condoned and even encouraged by church and state are "abomination to the Lord God." For instance:
Leviticus 20:13, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them".
Deuteronomy 22:5, "The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination to the Lord your God".
Deuteronomy 24:1-4, "When a man takes a wife, and marries her, if he has found some indecency in her (Deuteronomy 22:13-21): then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out from his house, and she leaves and goes and becomes another man's wife, if the latter husband turns against her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband dies who took her to be his wife; then her former husband who sent her away may not take her again to be his wife, since she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the Lord: and you shall not bring sin on the land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance".
Deuteronomy 27:15, "Cursed is the man who makes a graven image or a molten image, an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up [the idol] in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen".
Proverbs 12:22, "Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are His delight".
Proverbs 20:10, "Diverse weights, and diverse measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord".
Daniel 9:27; 12:11, "The pope of the Roman Universal church will make a firm covenant with Jewry for one week [of years]: and in the midst of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering, to enforce the abomination [of her trinity dogma which is the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:15-18)] he will desolate Israel's third temple, even until the consummation, and that decreed will be poured upon the desolate".
Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14, "When you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains." At that time "the abomination of desolation" was Roman Legionnaires surveying Jerusalem from Mount Scopus prior to their investment. As I write "the abomination of desolation" is es Sakhra, the Dome of the Rock. This will be demolished by the earthquake of Zechariah 14:4-5 and replaced by ,"a house of prayer for all people" (Isaiah 58:7. its dedication in the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week will be usurped by the Devil-incarnate pope and it will become "the abomination of desolation." "That which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God" (Luke 16:15).
Revelation 21:27, "Nothing unclean and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall enter the gates of New Jerusalem, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life".
Throughout Scripture there were many abominations that have desolated God's sanctuary. Jesus prophesied, "Destroy this Temple [of My body], and in three days I will raise it up" (John 2:19). "We are members of His Body, of His flesh, and of His bones . . . we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed" (Ephesians 5:30; I Corinthians 15:51).
Speaking on the Mount of Olives He prophesied, "When you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (who so reads, let him understand): this is the signal for those in Judea to escape to the mountains: anyone on the housetop should not come down to take anything out of his house: neither let he who is in the field return back for his clothes. And woe to them with child, and to they who give suck in those days! But pray that your flight be not in the winter [when the hills are full of snow], neither on the sabbath day" when the City gates are closed for you will be trapped (Matthew 24:3, 15-20).
"The abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel" would be perpetrated by Rome, the fourth Gentile world empire that would raze the Temple, and He foretold two desolations by Rome.
Daniel 9:26-27, "After seven weeks and three score and two weeks (483 prophetic years each of 360-days counting from the going forth of king Cyrus' command "to restore and to build Jerusalem") Messiah will be unjustly executed and left with nothing: and the people of [Roman Generals Vespasian and his son Titus who shall come will destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a military overthrow . . ."
The Roman prince of whom Daniel speaks in verse 26 is the one to whom Jesus referred in Matthew 24:15 and Luke 21:20. This first desolation by Rome was when the army of General Titus, later Caesar, destroyed the City and temple in AD70.
Daniel's seventy weeks are reckoned against 490 sabbtical years or 70 jubilees in which the Judeans cultivated the land instead of allowing it to rest. Consequently God had them taken as captives to Babylon for 70 years while their land enjoyed its desolations of rest (Leviticus 26:34-35; II Chronicles 36:20-21; Jeremiah 29:10-12). Daniel's Seventy Weeks commenced with Cyrus' command to terminate the Captivity and release the Judeans.
". . . and unto the end of the war desolations are determined."
This is Israel's "war" of unbelief and disobedience against the Lord God. This will continue unto the end of Daniel's Seventieth Week when the sixfold purpose of Gabriel's instructions to Daniel are fulfilled (Daniel 9:24) and the nation of 144,000 elect Israelites is born-again in one day, their revelation will "anoint the Most Holy"—Israel's King Jesus and His Wife, their Gentile Queen, the elect Church. Brother Branham said, "His people had just crowned Him King of kings and Lord of lords; [they are] coming back to His holy Temple, [their King and Queen] anointed with the Presence of God to live and to reign through the Millennium with His Church. Amen! The appearing with the mighty King to take Her place at His side, the new royal anointed Temple."
[I Corinthians 6:19-20, "Do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Ghost Who is in you, Whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body"].
"Now, the sixfold purpose of Revelations 6:1 to Revelations 19:21 is fulfilled" (The Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel's Vision to Daniel, p. 70:134-135).
Once born-again these elect Israelites will be martyred (Matthew 27:25; Revelation 6:11; 14:12-13; 15:2-4) which will bring the consummation of the six thousand years through which man has laboured against sin, and our thousand year sinless day of rest, the millennium.
Luke 21:24, "The Judeans shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations (after Titus destroys the City): and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled" then God will open the eyes of Israel's elect (Romans 11:25).
Daniel 9:27, "And the prince of Rome [the Devil-incarnate Pope in Daniel's Seventieth Week after the close of the Gentile dispensation] will covenant with the Jewry for one week of years: And in the midst of the week [when the global economy is prospering he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation [which Jewry will have restored] to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate".
The second Roman desolation of the Temple will be caused when the Pope profanes the third temple the Jews will erect on Mount Moriah. He will do away with the animal sacrifices that will have been restored, seat himself in the temple and force his trinitarian "mark of the beast" upon the Jews as he imposed it upon us Gentiles following the First Nicaea Council (Isaiah 14:12-15; Revelation 12:8-17; 13:4-18).
I'll paraphrase what Paul wrote in II Thessalonians 2:1-12, "We implore you, brethren, by the "parousia" Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him; that you don't become nervous and unsettled if you hear of visions from Fatima, superstitious rumors or secret revelations contrary to the Word, that the day of Christ [and the end of the Gentile dispensation and Daniel's Seventieth Week] are at hand."
[This explains what Jesus meant when He said, "If they say I am in Jerusalem, in Rome or some secret place, believe them not. My "parousia" Coming will be universal and cannot be observed by the eye but must be seen (or understood) by faith" (Matthew 24:23-28).
Look up the word "coming" in your Greek lexicon and learn to distinguish between the words 'parousia' and 'erchomai.' In II Thessalonians 2:1-2 Paul is telling us to remember that this is a 'parousia' Coming and not the physical return of a Man. So there is no need to chase rumors or visions because His Presence will be manifest to all of the saints individually by their faith or understanding of the mysteries that were hidden under the Seven Seals.
Christ's 'parousia' is God's Presence made known personally to His saints in the fullness of His Word through the revelation of the Seven Seals. It is this common understanding that calls both the wise and foolish virgins OUT from "her," Rome and her once Protestant harlot daughter churches INTO "Him," Christ the Word (Matthew 25:1-13; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 18:4).
Remember the church is a woman, and on the forehead of the Judaeo-Roman church Jesus saw "the caption: mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth" whereas a plate of pure gold on the mitre of Israel's high was engraved, "HOLINESS TO THE LORD" (Leviticus 26:36-38; Revelation 17:5). Rome is the final desolator; her Devil-incarnate Pope will profane the third the temple.
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for Daniel's Seventieth Week shall not commence until the whole world apostatizes, then that man of sin, the son of perdition will be publicly revealed; who defies all gods and tears down all objects of worship or adoration until he enters the temple of God, claiming himself to be God."
"You should remember I told you this when I was with you. And know that it is only the Presence of the Holy Spirit that prevents him from revealing himself now. For the mystery of iniquity is already at work: however the Holy Spirit will continue to restrain him until He leaves the earth in the departure of His Body, Christ's Bride."
"After this the Wicked One will be made known to the world, whom the Lord shall consume with the Word and render powerless with the brightness of his 'parousia' [because Light disperses darkness, and he cannot stand before faith]. Satan's 'parousia' will be accompanied by miracles, signs, lying wonders and in all of the deceitfulness of unrighteousness in his followers who will perish because they received not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved" (John 14:6b; II Thessalonians 2:5-12; Revelation 13:3-4, 8; 19:15).
Satan has been incarnating himself gradually through the spirit of antichrist by "the deeds of the nicolaitans which Jesus hates" and which became "the doctrine of the nicolaitans" when the Judaeo-Roman church was organized in AD325 at the First Nicaea Council; eventually the false prophet was made pope and crowned with a triple crown. Soon the pope will be incarnate by Satan, and as the beast he will be worshipped by the lost.
Jesus said, "Thy Word is truth" and these perish because God did not receive their advances. God's love is elective love. He loves whom He will because He is sovereign, and He is perfect. It is not that the Man of Sin and his followers don't love God; but God hates them because they do not receive His love, the Word. And to reject faith and the seal of God is to take the mark of the beast. The evidence of God's love is communion or fellowship with Him by faith (John 16:13). Spiritual revelation is God communicating with you, personally expressing your mutual relationship.
"Because they have rejected relationship with Him by faith, God will send them a strong delusion, causing them to believe the lie [Satan told Eve—that God loves everybody, so it matters not what one believes so long as you love Jesus]. And those who take pleasure in unrighteousness [by reasoning against the faith], receive the mark of the beast and are damned for not being restored to the truth" (Malachi 4:6; Revelation 22:10-19).
The last abomination that makes desolate will be Rome's final Pope incarnate by Satan who will unite the world in Roman Catholicism against the Word, and together with his deceived followers, he will be cast into the lake of Fire after Armageddon.
Revelation 19:20, "And the [Devil-incarnate] beast was taken, and with him the false prophet [Pope emeritus] who performed miracles in his presence [claiming infallibility in Peter's chair], with which he deceived all who received the mark of the beast [trinitarianism], and who worshipped his Protestant image. These were cast alive into the lake of Fire burning with brimstone" (Revelation 2:20-23).
Es Sakhra, the Dome of the Rock is the present "abomination that makes the sanctuary desolate" and prevents Israel from reviving their animal sacrifices and temple worship. Here Abraham was to offer Isaac, a type of Christ who was sacrificed on this mountain for Adam's entire race. Jerusalem is God's only provided place of worship for those under the Old Covenant (Deuteronomy 16:2, 5-6). God requires all adult male Israelites to assemble on this mountain three times in the year to observe the feasts of Unleavened Bread and Passover, Pentecost and Booths. Until Israel observes the Old Covenant they claim to believe, God cannot open their eyes to His New Covenant. The earthquake that divides the Mount of Olives will demolish es Sakhra and an irresistible Muslim invasion will cause a mass exodus of non-Semitic, anti-Semitic Israeli self-styled Jews enabling Jacob's children to return for redemption without "fear of the Jews". Despite the illegal actions of the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews Donald Trump and Jared Kushner in Palestine and the Golan Heights, their impasse is without geopolitical or diplomatic resolution. To Christians it is of historic and prophetic interest only, for unlike Moslems, self-styled Jews, Israelites and Roman Catholics, who are mutual enemies, we are sojourners with no continuing city here; ours is a Spiritual Kingdom Headquartered in heaven. In God's time His hand will cleanse the temple site of this abomination, as prophesied in Zechariah 14:1-4:"behold, the day of the Lord comes, when God will gather all nations to fight against Jerusalem; the city will be taken and the houses rifled, the loot divided, and the women raped; half the city shall go into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city."
Jerusalem was made an international city by UN Resolution 181 of 1947, and when the State of Israel was proclaimed at midnight, May 14, 1948, Palestine was already partitioned, with the Eastern half of Old Jerusalem in Jordan (whose King is responsible for maintaining and protecting the Dome of the Rock).
The Six-Day War (June 5-10, 1967) saw the whole of Jerusalem brought under Israeli sovereignty, igniting religious and multilateral conflicts that have blazed ever since. In 1975, the Houston Chronicle reported Secretary of State Henry Kissinger proposed "that Jerusalem become an international city with the control of holy places and the religious administration given to the pope." Since then, the Vatican has itself proposed moving from Rome to Jerusalem, and has held numerous meetings to that effect with high-ranking Ashkenazim-Jewish officials of the Marxist State of Israel.
The Covenant of Daniel 9:27 giving the Vatican Political Authority over Jerusalem was settled in 1993. In a story broken first by La Stampa in Italy, Shishi in Israel, and verified with documented proof in Haaretz, on May 1993, Shimon Peres promised the pope hegemony of the Old City of Jerusalem by the end of the year 2000.
In July, 1997, the powerful Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) finally revealed its plans for Israel in its Middle East Task Force Report, headed by Henry Seigman. It was recommended that Israel withdraw to its 1948 lines, that Jerusalem be divided, and that half the city be the capital of a Palestinian state.
On March 6, 2000, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat declared, "The year 2000 is the year for the Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. . ." Under the terms of the new peace accord signed in with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, September 2000 is the target date for completion of final status negotiations. President Arafat was poisoned and twenty years later Palestine is still occupied by so-called Jews.
The last reference to "the abomination that makes desolate" found in the Book of Daniel does not refer to es Sakhra, but to the Beast who will cancel the daily sacrifice the Jews will have restored, and enforce Roman Catholicism by the military might of his (once) Protestant image (Revelation 13:8; 15-18). "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days" (Daniel 12:11-12).
Referring to this final abomination that makes desolate, Jesus "saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the Christian martyrs: . . . and in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth" (Revelation 17:6; 18:24).

The alien banksters of the City of London that rule the United States and the world have worked under cover of the fake COVID-19 false flag black flag psyop to preserve a shaky US dollar and fractional reserve fiat banking system until they can replace it with digital currency under authoritarian collectivized government from which they can take their "pound of flesh." Economically, you can't shut down entire economies all over the world—lay off millions upon millions of people in every country on every continent, have central banks print money out of thin air to keep everything afloat—and not expect a catastrophic collapse in global growth. 
Brother Branham however was speaking of Rome, the fourth Gentile world Empire which succeeded the Grecian Empire and the four horns or kingdoms ruled by Alexander's generals. "People look at Rome. They look at the nation of Italy. And as they look they do not realize that Rome with her strict confines where the pope has an actual area as his domain is literally a nation within a nation; it has ambassadors and receives ambassadors. Papal false Christian Rome (she is even called the eternal city—how blasphemous) now controls by religion even more ably than when pagan Imperial Rome controlled by the pure iron of force. Rome took on a new lease of life when Constantine joined church and state and backed the union by force. The spirit that motivated pagan Rome is the same spirit that now motivates false Christian Rome. You can see that is so because you now know that the fourth empire never went out of existence; it just changed in its outer texture." 
(Lat.) Semper eadem, which means "ever the same," has always been a proud Catholic boast but neither theologically nor historically was it adequately theorized or explained. Then as now the mark of the beast is the polytheistic trinity. How can three persons be in one God? Not only is there no Bible for it, but it shows even a lack of intelligent reasoning. Three distinct persons, though identical substance, make three gods, or language has lost its meaning entirely. Ham begat Cush and Cush begat Nimrod; Cush led the people away from the true God and as the "interpreter of the gods" persuaded them to take another form of religion. He inspired them to go ahead with the tower which his son actually built. This encouragement is what brought the confusion and the division of men, so that he was both "interpreter and confuser." Cush was the father of the polytheistic system and when men were deified by men, he of course, became the father of the gods. This concept of three persons in one god is worshipped under different names by Judaism, Islam and all religions who know it not. It passed from Babylon to Imperial Rome where it was introduced into Christendom at the Hegelian dialectic of the First Nicaea Council. 
That was in natural Babylon. Rome eventually succeeded to world dominion. Euphrates was the eastern frontier of her empire, beyond which lay the Parthian menace. The Parthian Empire stretched from the Euphrates to India and the Oxus (Amu-Darya) river in what was Soviet Central Asia. For centuries it was the rival of Rome, and more than once proved her match on the battlefield. Parthia once made Judea a vassal state and became part of the Persian Empire of Cyrus and Darius. They submitted to Alexander without resistance and came under the rule of the Selucid kings of Syria but eventually gained their independence. 
Rome will bring all of the denominations together, uniting church and state as a (once) Protestant image unto the beast. We learn from Daniel 2 that the ten toes of the image of Nebuchadnezzar's dream are the European nations into which Imperial Rome fractured, now known as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization which consists of 
Yes, there will come a time after the beast breaks his covenant with Israel and forces self-worship that his allies will have had enough and will hate the whore and will destroy Rome with atomic fire. Rome is lewd, and naked of the Holy Spirit. Jesus warned Bible believers in these last days, "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame" like those who slumbered and slept in the pews and the foolish virgins who trim their lamps but ran out of the Spirit (Matthew 25).
