Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ to fellow space cadets training for that meeting in the air. We are pleased you could join us from around the world in fellowship around God's unchanging Word.
Last week we referred to a series of Newsletters published in 2006 in which we introduced Dr. Peter Beter who revealed information that enabled us to understand the nature and identity of what Brother Branham called "investigation judgment angels," and "flying saucers." As Dr. Beter explained, the NASA program was a public 'front' for a clandestine and vastly more advanced Rockefeller-controlled weaponised Moon base whose dominion of space would deliver world hegemony. Like Brother Branham, he said Russia is ahead of America in science, and that superior technology had enabled her to destroy that base and also US military satellites. Last week we published a number of URLs that lent credence to Dr. Peter Beter's 80 Audio Letters published between 1975 and 1982. This week introduce recent video and sound recordings of large space craft other than the international space station in Earth orbit. You may view these images from here, and follow the links.
Back on terra firma, one word of disbelief is the kingdom of Satan (Genesis 3:4; Matthew 4:4); but as the "third pull" has been revealed to the very elect and they will not be deceived (Revelation 13:8). On earth in the realm of darkness visible, where evil holds sway, the saints will be regarded as recalcitrant, even insane, because they will not conform to the global paradigm, which will seem so important and reasonable to those who belong to the world church system. God's elect are a paradox to the world because our women dress modestly, do not paint their face and cut their hair, are keepers at home" rather than career-seekers, and their men put God and family ahead of mammon.
In the midst of the our worst-ever drought, it is not Christian administrators that withdraw water from our farmers who are struggling to grow food, in service to environmental madness and food shortages, nor encourage disinvestment designed to produce famine and depopulation on the unscientific and egregious assumption that an excess of carbon in the atmosphere is heating the planet. Neither do Christians advocate GM seeds, knowing they are not God's spoken Word and Life, but Satanic reasoning against the Word and death. And we do not encourage switching from farming for food to farming for biofuel, particularly as unlimited reserves of oil lie in underground and free energy could be drawn from the vacuum of space — if the Moneypower would allow it. The consensus must soon be reached that there is no place for Christians in the planned economy.
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.
Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony Grigor-Scott

CFR Dirty Tricks to trash Putin
December 6, 2007 – Vladimir Putin is arguably the most popular leader in Russian history, although you'd never know it by reading the Western media. According to a recent survey conducted by the Wall Street Journal, Putin's personal approval rating in November 2007 was 85 percent, making him the most popular head of state in the world today. Putin's popularity derives from many factors. He is personally clever and charismatic. He is fiercely nationalistic and has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of ordinary Russians and restore the country to its former greatness. He has raised over 20 million Russians out of grinding poverty, improved education, health care and the pension system, (partially) nationalized critical industries, lowered unemployment, increased manufacturing and exports, invigorated Russian markets, strengthened the ruble, raised the overall standard of living, reduced government corruption, jailed or exiled the venal oligarchs, and amassed capital reserves of $450 billion.
If there's a downside to Putin's legacy, it's hard to see.
Russia is no longer up for grabs like it was after the fall of the Soviet Union. Putin put an end to all of that. He reasserted control over the country's vast resources and he's using them to improve the lives of his own people. This is a real departure from the 1990s, when the drunken Yeltsin steered Russia into economic disaster by following Washington's neoliberal edicts and by selling Russia's Crown Jewels to the vulturous oligarchs. Putin put Russia's house back in order; stabilized the ruble, strengthened economic/military alliances in the region, and removed the corporate gangsters who had stolen Russia's national assets for pennies on the dollar. The oligarchs are now all either in jail or have fled the country. Russia is no longer "for sale."
Russia is, once again, a major world power and a vital source of hydrocarbons. It's star is steadily rising just as America's has begun to wane. This may explain why Putin is despised by the West. Freud might call it "petroleum envy," but it's deeper than that. Putin has charted a course for social change that conflicts with basic tenets of neoliberalism, which are the principles which govern US foreign policy. He is not a member of the corporate-banking brotherhood which believes the wealth of the world should be divided among themselves regardless of the suffering or destruction it may cause. Putin's primary focus is Russia: Russia's welfare, Russia's sovereignty and Russia's place in the world. He is not a globalist.
That is why the Bush administration has encircled Russia with military bases, toppled neighboring regimes with its "color-coded" revolutions (which were organized by US NGOs and intelligence services), intervened in Russian elections, and threatened to deploy an (allegedly defensive) nuclear weapons system in Eastern Europe. Russia is seen as a potential rival to US imperial ambitions and must be contained or subverted.
In the early years of his presidency, it was believed that Putin would comply with Western demands and accept a subordinate role in the US-EU-Israel centric system. But that hasn't happened. Putin has stubbornly defended Russian independence and resisted integration into the prevailing system.
The triumphalism which swept through Washington after the fall of the Berlin Wall has been replaced with a palpable fear that Russia's power will grow as oil prices continue to soar. The tectonic plates of geopolitical power are gradually shifting eastward. That's why the US has joined in "The Great Game" and is trying to put down roots in Eurasia. Still, it's easy to imagine a scenario in which America's access to the last great oil and natural gas reserves on the planet — the 3 trillion barrels of oil and natural gas situated in the Caspian Basin — could be completely blocked by a resurgent Russian superpower. . .

Comment: Russia should be invited oversee next year's US elections to ensure there is no repetition of vote-rigging common since at least the JFK-Nixon contest. Were Putin permitted to stand for President of the USA he would possibly be the people's choice.

Gulf Challenges US on Iran, Israel
Manama, Bahrain, December 8, 2007 – Gulf Arab countries challenged Defense Secretary Robert Gates on American policies toward Iran and Israel Saturday, after he urged them to force Tehran to stop uranium enrichment. Several delegates at the regional security conference in Bahrain said US was hypocritical for supporting Israeli nuclear weapons, and questioned Washington's refusal to meet with Iran to discuss the Islamic state's nuclear activities.
"Not considering Israel a threat to security in the region is considered a biased policy that is based on a double standard," said Abdul-Rahman al-Attiyah, the secretary general of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council. . .
Qatari Prime Minister Sheik Hamad bin Jassem Al Thani countered Gates' comparison of Iran and Israel. "We can't really compare Iran with Israel. Iran is our neighbor, and we shouldn't really look at it as an enemy," said Sheik Hamad. "I think Israel through 50 years has taken land, kicking out the Palestinians, and interferes under the excuse of security, blaming the other party."
US support for Israel is very unpopular in the Middle East, even among closely allied Gulf states, and Washington's unconditional support for Israeli nuclear development has complicated its push against Iran.
Sheik Hamad also called on the US to hold direct talks with Iran over its nuclear activities. After major Arab countries recently attended the Israeli-Palestinian peace conference in Annapolis, the US should show the same initiative with Iran, he said. "As an Arab (country), we went to the United States. . . to make a dialogue with the Israelis, so why doesn't the United States do a dialogue with Iran?" said Sheik Hamad. "I think that is the only way. . . they can understand each other in the matter". . . Full story: truthout.org

Iran stops selling Oil in US Dollars
Tehran, December 8, 2007 – Iran has completely stopped selling any of its oil for US dollars, an Iranian news agency reported on Saturday, citing the oil minister of the world's fourth-largest crude producer. . . For nearly two years, OPEC's second biggest producer has been reducing its exposure to the dollar, saying the weak US currency is eroding its purchasing power.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who often rails against the West, has called the US currency a "worthless piece of paper". . . "This is why, at the meeting of the heads of states, Iran proposed to OPEC members that a currency (for oil exports) would be determined that would be reliable and would not cause any loss to exporter countries". . .

Comment: You will not find this reported in the controlled US Media. The United States is being brought to its knees in order to enable her amoral alien-controlled leaders to prostitute the nation into becoming the image and military enforcer of the Beast, killing all who do not willingly submit. If the China, Japan, South Korea or the OPEC countries refuse to trade in US dollars the United States economy will collapse. This will take place the instant Los Angeles sinks beneath the Pacific.

Christians Brutalized in Holy Land
Some 200 Christian Zionist leaders, representing churches spread throughout America, Europe, Africa and Asia, gathered in Israelis' Knesset to "beg forgiveness" for 2,000 years of "Christian persecution" of Jews.
The well publicized ceremony took place under the auspices of the "Knesset Christian Allies Caucus," just one of a growing number of partnerships springing up in recent years between organized Jewish and Christian Zionist groups for the purpose of funneling Christian money and political support toward Israel. Part of the statement reads as follows:
"On behalf of millions of Christians, we repent before you for crimes committed against the Jewish people throughout history in the name of Christianity. . . We have sinned against God and against you. . . To you we owe much. . . Through you, God gave us the Holy Scriptures, and because of this we have a heritage, a destiny, a hope and a compass for living. . . What a treasure you are in the sight of our God! You are His chosen and the apple of His eye. . . "
But despite the fact that Israel was built (and continues to live) off of handouts from Christian countries—principally the US and Germany—and for all the inherent groveling and breast-beating that this mea culpa was meant to convey, it obviously did not "cut the mustard" in improving Christian/Jewish relations in Israel, the birthplace of Jesus Christ and the 2,000-year-old religion created in His name.
Besides the fact that Israel has now become a haven for international gangsters—meaning rampant prostitution, drugs, human trafficking and money laundering to name a few—there are other indicators surrounding Israel’s political and social character as well that show she is anything but friendly to the morals and precepts of Christian teachings. . .

Comment: Talk about blind Laodiceans! The Holy Bible is not a Jewish Book. Christianity took nothing from any Jewish religion for we have never taken any part of Christianity from the Talmud. We owe them no debt, for they gave us nothing.

Jannes and Jambres - Part III
Parts I and II of this series focused on the "Jannes and Jambres" foremost among those who claim to be "Spiritual Israel," God's chosen people, yet "oppose the truth they pretend to proclaim: men of corrupt minds and counterfeit faith. But they will not go far, for their deceit will be known to all men, as was the sin of Jannes and Jambres." Indeed, "their folly is manifest to all men." Let us now consider Brother Branham, the antitype of Moses, and those who follow his ministry as the wise distinguish themselves from the foolish virgin within the circle of this Message.
The morning Brother Branham laid the cornerstone of his tabernacle the Holy Spirit signified Matthew 25:6, I Thessalonians 4:16 and Revelation 18:4 in a vision which "said that my work would be between the two facilities of the Pentecostal: the Trinity and the Oneness, and there was an empty place on each side to be built. I did not cross them up; I just broke from each tree and planted it down. And up into the heavens went the great trees a-growing quickly, and the fruits fell down; and they were delicious. I was eating them. And the cross just ahead of me lay all covered with fruit. And then when I got to the place, the Holy Spirit come down to the top of the trees and said, shaking and roaring, and It said, "Do the work of an evangelist." Said, "When you come out of this, read II Timothy 4." Said, "Do the work of an evangelist; this is not your tabernacle."
"And I said, "Where. . . "And I seen the tabernacle as it is today. I said, "Where is my tabernacle?" And He set me down under the bright blue sky, and He said, "Do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but shall heap for themselves together teachers, having itching ears and shall be turned from the truth to fables" (Impersonation of Christianity, p. 6:35-37).
Brother Branham was not an evangelist but a prophet, and the Lord did not call him an evangelist but commanded him to do the work of an evangelist, ensuring his ministry was thoroughly vindicated with signs and wonders following his first and second "pulls" until impersonators like Jannes and Jambres turned people from the truth unto fables. God then anointed him for his prophetic "third pull" that has "restored the apostolic faith. . . finished the mystery of God," and introduced Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming (Malachi 4:5-6; I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 10:1-7). The Prophet wrote II Timothy 4:2-4, and placed it into the cornerstone:
"Preach the Word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables".
Quoting the same Scripture he said, "Eve believed that Cain was from God. She accepted the Devil's lie as the truth of God. That is exactly what we have now. Churches set themselves up as fountains of truth but the truth is not in them; yet their begotten children swear by them and will even kill to uphold their error. . . When the church allowed herself to move away from the original, like Adam and Eve, death set in."
"There is no strength in her. She has become a monstrosity. The minute the church moved toward form and ceremony, and toward priesthood by organizing the ministers into a group that decided leadership apart from the Holy Spirit and His Word, that very moment death entered and she started to get sick, and as she got sick she changed to a powerless group of people whose only weapon was argument. She could produce nothing in the Spirit, for her hopes were built on program and not on faith in His Word. They sowed program so they reaped program. They sowed perversion so they reaped perverted children" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 126:2-5).
This is the position of most people and churches in the circle of the Message: they have the "letter" without the "Spirit." Having failed to take the Prophet's spoken Word back to the written Word of the previous prophets to ensure they are in the common faith, they quote what he said out of context with Scripture to support their private doctrines.
Again quoting this Scripture he said, "The seven Church Ages started out with the antichrist spirit as well as the Holy Spirit Who is to be blessed forever (I John 4:1). . . The antichrist spirit is identified with false prophets. The ages came in with false prophets and they will go out with false prophets. Now of course there is going to be a REAL FALSE PROPHET in the grand sense of that man mentioned in the Revelation. But as of now before his revelation there are to appear many false prophets" (Matthew 24:23-26; II Peter 2:1-2; II Timothy 4:3-40 I Timothy 4:1).
"Now in every case you will notice that a false prophet is one who is outside the Word. Just as we showed you that 'antichrist' means 'anti-Word' so these false prophets come perverting the Word, giving it a meaning that fits their own devilish ends. Have you ever noticed how the people who lead others astray bind them closely to themselves by fear? They say that if the people don't do what they say, or if they leave, then destruction will follow. They are false prophets, for a true prophet will always lead one to the Word and bind the people to Jesus Christ and he won't tell the people to fear him or what he says, but to fear what the Word says. Notice how these people like Judas are out for money. They get you to sell all you have and give it to them and their schemes. They spend more time on offerings than the Word. Those who attempt to operate gifts will make use of a gift which has a margin of error in it and then ask for money, and neglect the Word and call it of God. And people will go to them, and bear with them, and support them, and believe them, not knowing it is the way of death. Yes, the land is full of carnal impersonators. In that last day they will try to imitate that prophet-messenger. The seven sons of Sceva tried to imitate Paul. Simon the sorcerer tried to imitate Peter. Their impersonations will be carnal. They won't be able to produce what the true prophet produces. When he says the revival is over they will go around claiming a great revelation that what the people have is exactly right and God is going to do bigger and more wonderful things amongst the people. And the people will fall for it. These same false prophets will claim that the messenger of the last day is not a theologian, so he ought not to be heard. They won't be able to produce what the messenger can; they won't be vindicated by God as that last day prophet is, but with their great swelling words and with the weight of their world-wide notoriety they will warn the people not to hear that man (messenger) and they will say he teaches wrong. They are running exactly true to their fathers, the Pharisees, who were of the Devil, for they claimed that both John and Jesus taught error" (ibid p. 329:1 - 331).
While the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals, every minister taught and every believer held a measure of error. Most worshipped the pagan Babylonian trinity of Gods, recited the false Apostles' Creed so- called, and were baptized as a babe in three Titles rather than by revelation in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. This heresy arose from the First Nicea Council of AD325 where the Roman Catholic church organized and was forced with the option of martyrdom resulting in the Dark Ages. A minority followed the Unitarian, Pentecostal Oneness and other heresies and so long as the Bible was sealed the saints had only PART-Word but Christ was a Mediator for their ignorance of the fullness. And until "the fullness of the Word delivered through the revelation of the Seven Seals did away with PART-Word, and with Christ's mediation," Brother Branham also preached a measure of error, as we shall show (I Corinthians 13:10):
Error and correction: "And by one Spirit we're all baptized into one body." That's correct. See? The baptism of the Holy Ghost is a different act from the new birth. One is a birth; one is a baptism. One brings you Eternal Life; the other one gives you power. It gives power into Eternal Life (See?) to operate. Now, you got it? Okay, all right".
No, "All wrong"! But this is what Brother Branham preached in Hebrews (p. 429:363-474), and in many other teachings prior to the revelation of the Seven Seals. The baptism with the Holy Ghost is the new birth (Trying to do God a Service without it being God's Will, p. 10:73-74).
Error and correction: "Today I was talking with my good friend Dr. Lee Vayle, who's present now. And he's quite a theologian. And so we usually have some pretty good discussions on the Scripture. Very smart, and he asked me one time what I thought about the initial evidence of the Holy Ghost, was it speaking in tongues? (It's been many years ago). I said, "No, can't see that."
He said, "Neither do I." said, "though I've been taught that." He said, "What would you think would be a evidence?"
I said, "The most perfect evidence I can think of is love." And so we got to talking on that. And then I thought, "That sounded pretty good." So I just held that: If a man's got love.
But one day the Lord in a vision straightened me out, and He said that the evidence of the Spirit was those who could receive the Word, neither love nor speaking in tongues, but it's receiving the Word.
And then Dr. Vayle was saying to me that that is Scriptural. He said, "Because in John 14 Jesus said, 'When He, the Holy Ghost is come upon you, He will reveal these things to you that I've taught you, and will show you things to come.'" So there is the genuine evidence of the Holy Ghost. He's never told me anything wrong yet. That it is; the evidence of the Holy Ghost is he who can believe the Word, who can receive It. 'Cause Jesus never said, "When the Holy Ghost is come, you'll speak with tongues." He never said, "The Holy Ghost come you'd do any of those things," but He said, "He will take these things of Mine and show them to you, and will show you things that is to come." So there is the genuine evidence of the Holy Ghost according to Jesus Himself (Broken Cisterns, 12:67-68).
Error: "When we die now, we go directly into the Presence of Almighty God in a celestial body. If I would meet Brother Neville up there, if we'd both die now, in an hour from now I'd meet him; I'd say, "Greetings, Brother Neville," talk to him. I couldn't shake his hand; he's in a celestial body. I could talk to him; he'd look just like he does there. I'd look like I do. But we could talk to one another, but we couldn't touch one another, because we haven't got any of the five senses of see, taste, feel, smell, and hear. See? But we would be immortal, and we could see one another. We'd live in the blessed realms by the altar of God. Don't you know John saw the souls under the altar crying, "How long, Lord, how long," to come back to the earth to be clothed upon"? (C.O.D., p. 110:32).
Correction: "And so these women all come; they started throwing their arm around me. Now, that's unusual. You know, I wouldn't stand for that. . . I'm in a mixed crowd; but they were women. They were women, and they hugged me, each one, and said, "Our precious brother." And one would hug me, and then the other one would hug me. I was standing there looking, and I thought, "Well now, what's this?" See? And they was standing there. And I thought, "What's happened?" I looked back down, there I was laying right there on the bed; and here I was standing here. I thought, "Now, that's odd. I don't understand it." And them women holler, "Oh, our precious brother," then hugging me. Now, they was every bit in feeling, women" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 378:2).
Error: "In the nations where they have polygamy, it's a thousand times better. And yet, polygamy's wrong; we know" (The Seventy Weeks of Daniel, p. 134:210).
Correction: "Now, you see, then after the beginning something else was introduced. Now, this is going to shock you. . . Then when the double covenant was made by man and woman through sex (another covenant altogether; not the original covenant, but another covenant), now what's introduced? Polygamy in all. Then after the beginning, polygamy was introduced both in man and in beast, after the beginning, the fall.
God now secondarily sets a new nature again by sex. God created the first without sex. Do you believe that? Now, it's another covenant with nature; He sets it in another order by sex. Second covenant: one male, many females; one buck deer, a whole harem of does (That right?); one bull a whole herd of cattle, cows; one rooster, a yard full of hens. (That right?); one David, after His own heart, with five hundred wives, with a hundred children born to him in one year of different women: a man after God's own heart; one Solomon with a thousand wives. But notice now, it wasn't so at the beginning. But now, it's after the beginning. The woman's done this, then she just becomes what she is now. See?
David, the king which represented Christ. . . (Hold that in your mind). David represented Christ. You believe that? Christ is going to set on his throne. And this David, a man after God's own heart, had five hundred wives. See what I mean? David with his five hundred wives, Solomon with his thousand; and Solomon is the son of David in the natural, which represents Jesus Christ, the Son of David in the Spiritual. But that's natural sex life; this is going to be Spiritual created why, created. That's the way it was at the beginning, but not now in this life we live in now.
Notice. (Don't fail this now; take it all down to your hearts). But not one of those women could even have one more husband. He's the original creation, not her. Not one of those women could have one more husband, but that one husband could have a thousand wives. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. That's the Bible (Marriage and Divorce, p. 30:202-205).
Note: The new birth enables the Christian man to bring his spirit and body under submission to the Word so that polygamy is not an option.
Error and correction: "Looking over old notes that I preached on many years ago, I was just coming in and saying what I thought was right and going on. It was away off of the line. And now, all four of them Seals, I had it in about twenty minute sermon. Oh. . . The four horse riders of Revelations, I throwed them all together, and said, "One horse went in white"; I said, "perhaps that's the early age. And next horse went in famine," and then on like that.
But my, when the Word really was opened up, it was a hundred miles away from it. So it behooves us to watch and wait" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 527:4-5).
Brother Branham said, "Now, it's hard to say this. It's very hard, because speaking to people who feel the same way I do, and the way I have been for many years. But since the opening of those Seven Seals, of them Angels just behind the mountain yonder, this has become a new Book. It's the things that's been hid is being revealed as God promised in Revelations 10 He would do it. And we are the privileged people that God has chosen of the earth, that we might see and understand these things; which is not some mythical, fleshly mind of a person trying to make it up. It's the Word of God made manifest, proven that It's right. Proven, not by science, but by God that It's right."
God, as I have said before in a message, God doesn't need anyone to interpret His Word. He's His Own Interpreter. He says it'll happen, and it happens. He confirms it; that interprets it" (God's Power to Transform, p. 11:77).
After the Lord opened the Seven Seals the Son of man corrected the Prophet's pre-Seals errors but unless we personally take the spoken Word back to the written Word from Genesis to Revelation, we will be repeating what he said, not understanding what he meant. So we see from these examples how important it is that we rightly divide the Word of Truth and don't content ourselves with quotes alone, but "receive the word with all readiness of mind, then search the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so".
God's elect are not satisfied with a secondhand religion. We take the hard way of the Lord's despised few rather than feed our souls from the alien-controlled media and the politically correct lies of perverted history. Fractional reserve banking and the media using computer technology is the most efficient weapon of tyranny and oppression ever devised. Redcoats are no longer required to maintain physical control over a people; once their mind has been programmed it will govern their physical behavior, like Pavlov's dogs, in accordance with the parameters encoded. Thanks to centrally planned public education and the all-pervasive mass media, whole populations have been made to believe, or at least passively accept, whatever the 'hidden hand' has fed into their subconscious. Brother Branham said Christians should not have a television in the house!
We receive mail from Brethren who believe they are in the Message which is Christ but like unbelieving Israel before Mount Sinai they are not participants but spectators gazing at the Message without accepting It (Exodus 19:21; 32:1-6). Some have wandered forty years within the circle of the Message, as the Israelites wandered and perished, never entering into the promise of God. Foolish virgin "gaze" upon the Message and learn the "letter" without ever receiving the "Spirit" who is Its Author. They accept the word of their Message pastor without taking it back to the Bible to ensure he is a Christian and has the mind of God. Many believe, "My country is righteous," when blind Freddie can see its leaders are spineless liars and crooks; Jesus said that every nation would belong to the Devil in this day (Matthew 4:8-9; Revelation 11:18; 16:13-16). The foolish virgin do not follow the links in the Newsletters or study the teaching sermons and historical facts on our Website but believe unsubstantiated schoolboy history and tabloid mythology concocted by those Jesus Messiah identified as liars and physical Serpent's seed. Education and history, which guide your thinking, are franchised to the Rockefellers and planned through the CFR, Carnegie Endowment, Ford Foundation, etc., as disclosed by the 1950's Reece Committee.
One reader who did not "search the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so" sent a piece of subjectively dishonest Zionist propaganda, "Israel's best friend" firmly backing Arabs at Annapolis conference. Where was the discernment of the Holy Spirit who guides into all truth, brings God's unchanging Word to remembrance, and shows things that are to come? If you want to know who is the Boss, this is how Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert addresses "Israel's best friend": "The most important thing (sic) that should be said about Bush is that had I told him that I was opposed to this move (Annapolis meeting), he wouldn't have embarked on it. I could have blocked the move. Had I been unwilling to co-operate with him, Bush wouldn't have coerced me. . . I spoke to the President with unparalleled sharpness about these matters (bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities) and my comments were extremely well received — regarding the freedom (to bomb Iran) we are reserving for ourselves and what we will and won't do" (Haaretz, November 29, 2007).
Newsletter #503 was linked to Stephen Lendman's review of The Power of Israel in the United States by James Petras. If you need confirmation of John 8:44-47, read Israel and Top Zionist Leaders Attack Intelligence by James Petras. Tell me, was Jesus Messiah a liar? Is He in hell boiling in excrement as the Babylonian Talmud states? Did Moses lie when he taught that God placed the natural children of the Serpent and the spiritual children of Satan at enmity with the natural children of the first Adam and the Spiritual children of the last Adam? Did Brother Branham also lie when he said, Jacob "was ousted from his people. Now, it's a type of the Jew now. He's a money snatcher. I don't care how he gets it; he will get it. He will skin you alive to get it. You know that. He's a little shyster; that's all. Boy, don't deal with him. He will get you, boy. Yes, sir. Why? He's got to be that. That's the kind of a spirit that's dominating" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 426:6). Brother Branham said, if a person can not receive the revelation of the true oneness of the godhead, Scriptural water baptism, and the original sin, you know the election is off. Just walk away from him!
Like Eve, our Brother is resting his eternal Life on the "letter" of one word; a word not found in any Bible prior to the 18th century. One word whose meaning is contrary to the words it has replaced, making a nonsense of Bible doctrine and six thousand years of history. Because Brother Branham used this colloquialism our Brother added three Message quotes to support what without the Holy Spirit, common sense, integrity and moral purpose should expose as racial hatred, historic and Scriptural untruth. Every paragraph of this propaganda can be shown to be thoroughly biased and without foundation in truth, intended to entice an unthinking emotional reflex from the already deceived majority. I almost forgot, that new word in your Bible Dictionary is "J E W ." These are the Message quotes that were used to justify the Zionist propaganda:
Spoken 50 years ago 1957-2007.
"What did I tell you from this pulpit? Last year America made her fatal mistake. I said, 'Fatal mistake,' sure did. And look what she's doing now. You see it in the government affairs. They're trying to go right over and hook up with the Arabs. Don't you know, God's Word said, 'Ever who curses Israel will be cursed?' Certainly.
I stand with Israel, take our ground or take it. Certainly.
Arabs went in the wrong thing. Sure they are. Brother, look at every nation that turned against the Jew; they sunk. Look at Germany, when she turned against the Jew, and they burnt the bodies in the incinerators, and look what it is today.
Look at Italy, that turned against the Jews, when Mussolini ousted them from Italy. Looked at her today. If we wasn't feeding them, they'd be starved to death.
And here the Gospel come and give a mercy call throughout the nations for years; and we've turned it down. And now working, the Devil taking his seat, is turning the hearts of these political men against Israel, and they're hooking up over yonder with the Arabs. Brother, we're as good as gone. Man, we'll sink as sure as the world" (God keeps His Word, p. 55:119-123).
Understanding: "America's fatal mistake" in 1956-7, was rejecting the jubilee of the Azusa Street revival that inaugurated the Laodicean Church Age, her last opportunity for national repentance (ibid p. 45:56-57, 118-119, 123). Brother Branham said, now that "we've" turned down the Gospel, the Devil has taken his seat and is turning the hearts of these political men against Israel. Who is prophesied to be Israel's enemy—Jew or Arab (Genesis 27:39-41; Isaiah 34; 63; Jeremiah 30:7; Malachi 1:1-4; Revelation 19)? Whom did God command Moses and the Israelites to utterly slay whenever they were encountered in the Promised Land—was it the forefathers of the self-styled Jews or of the Arabs (Deuteronomy 7:1-3; 20:16-18)? These "political men" who rule the USA — are they Jews, or are they Arabs? You may speak or write whatever you choose about Christians and Christianity, Arabs or Islam, but breathe one word about the Jews and their lies and you'll have the ADL and their thugs on your case.
"When did Germany burn the bodies in incinerators"? This is Zionist propaganda that began to be promoted at this time. The truth is here, or you may inquire of any mortician or crematorium as to the impossible logistics of the myth. Mussolini saved Jews; Hitler's policy practiced by every European kingdom, was expulsion; God's policy, which He commanded Moses and the children of Israel, was final (I Samuel 15).
Brother Branham is telling us that in 1956/7 the United States as a nation rejected the Holy Spirit for mammon, which set her on the path to becoming the image of the Beast in fulfillment of Revelation 13:11-18. He frequently typed America with Israel, which had noble beginnings but assimilated with Jewry and ended in unbelief under domination to Esau: America's present distress (Romans 11:32; Revelation 3:17-20). Whereas at the end of the Gentile dispensation grace terminates for Americans and all Gentiles, one week of years remains for Israel, in the midst of which an election of 144,000 blood Israelites will be born-again. Once the US dollar is refinanced Rome and her image will break their agreement with the banksters, force the mark of the Beast and martyr the Hebrew saints. Jews who do not become Judaeo-Roman Catholics will become Judaeo-Communists, then Russia will annihilate the Vatican and North America, which will lead to Armageddon and the consummation.
The "times of the Gentiles" or times of Gentile domination over Israel commenced when Nebuchadnezzar defeated Judah and will continue until the consummation. Thus the rulers of modern Israel are not the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob but impersonators. In a series of visions the Lord showed Daniel that "his people and his holy city" would be ruled by four successive Gentile empires, which he saw symbolized as beasts; the last is Rome, which has always been the enemy of Israel, not Jews. Modern history is the record of Roman persecution upon natural and Spiritual Israel, the true Church. Imperial Rome was transformed into Papal Rome at the Hegelian dialectic of the First Nicea Council when the apostate First Church of Rome united with the state. After the earthquake sinks Los Angeles and a huge section of California at the close of the Gentile dispensation, Russia will invade mainland United States and the world's religions will unite under the headship of the pope who will restore peace. The United States, on its knees to the Banksters, will be penniless. Church and state will reunite, and Rome, in concert with the International Banksters, will refinance the US dollar with a gold backing. US citizens are collateral for the Federal Reserve in pawn to the IMF, and with no asset but her flesh and blood, US colonial troops will become Rome's enforcer, and do her killing. In another place Brother Branham taught that unbelieving Jews and Israelites in America after the dispensation change will not escape. If you read between the lines (as he said prophecy should be read), this killing of the elect Israelites, not Jews, will bring the annihilation of the United States at the hands of Jewish Banksters in retribution for Rome's breach of contract.
Although Brother Branham spoke in the vernacular, Jews are not Israelites; unless we distinguish between the two as we discern the false church from the true, we will not understand either the Bible or history. Natural Israel has nothing whatsoever to do with Christians and Christianity beyond the fact that as a nation Israel is God's timepiece by which we gauge time in relation to prophecy. In less than a decade Israel will be atomic ashes like the rest of the world, with flames leaping thousands of miles into space. Throughout eternity the elect of Israel will be the servants of Messiah and His Gentile Bride, Israel's King and Queen.
Modern Israel is not occupied by the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Israel but by self-styled or so-called Jews who according to the Jewish and all other encyclopaedias are generally a non-Semitic people who have no history in Palestine. Under the heading "A Brief History of the Terms for Jew" the 1980 Jewish Almanac says: "Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an Ancient Israelite a 'Jew' or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew" (p. 3). These people are neither Hebrews nor are they Israelites but call themselves by the misnomer "Jews." Every Chinese, Eskimo, Pygmy, Italian, Hindu, Russian Orthodox, idolater and anyone else resident in Judea is a "Jew" regardless of race or religion. This disqualifies most so-called Jews who have never set foot in Judea, and confirms that those whom Jesus feared and warned us against were not Israelites. According to Isaiah 6:10-13; 10:11-16, Jeremiah 3:12, 18, and Daniel 11, true Israelites are dwelling in Iran and Arab countries where they are protected from their mortal enemy, the anti-Semitic so-called Jew (Genesis 27:39-41), and will not return to Israel until Daniel's Seventieth Week. "Search the Scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal Life: and they are they which testify of Me" (John 5:39). The so-called Jews who live in Israel call themselves Israelis, which they are, and not Israelites, which as Brother Branham explained they most definitely are not.
If you read Isaiah 6:10-13, Daniel 9:27, Malachi 1:3-4, Luke 21:24 and Revelation 11:2, 8, you will understand that Israel will be ruled by a non-Semitic people unto the consummation. According to Genesis 12:3; 17:9; 21:12; 26:3, 24; 28:4, 13; 35:12; Exodus 32:13; 33:1; Deuteronomy 1:8; 34:4; Ezekiel 48 and Revelation 7:4-8, natural Israel is the bloodline from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not from Abraham, Isaac and Esau, and not from Cain (Matthew 23:33-36; John 8; Revelation 2:9; 3:9). In case you doubt Israel's holy Prophets, read The Life of an American Jew in Racist Marxist Israel.
It matters not that modern-day Israel was founded by skulduggery for geopolitical purposes wherein thousands of sincere men and women became pawns in the end-game of multi-billionaires building Satan's one world government, "For all things work together for good to those who love the Lord and are elect according to His purpose." As the 144,000 can only be redeemed in the land of Israel, some condition such as the purported Israelite state had to be created wherein they can gather for their Message of redemption in the time of "Jacob's trouble" as their Covenant is of no effect outside the land. The rest will be atomic fodder. Zionism is a political move of Rothschild/Illuminati interests at enmity with the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
If you are genuinely born-again you are a Spiritual Israelite because "the truth has made you free" and you have received the blessing of Abraham, Israel rejected at Kadesh and became bound under the curse of the law of sin and death (John 8:31-37). A true Israelite is one who has persevered with God and men, and prevailed (Genesis 32:28). Jesus Messiah was Abraham's promised Seed (singular), Israel's Antitype, who overcame His ten senses in Gethsemane and voluntarily surrendered His Life on Calvary to redeem the elect of Adam's race. "Those who have been baptized into Christ are Abraham's Seed according to the promise" (Isaiah 53:10-12; Galatians 3:18, 29; 4:28).
"And to think that our own beloved nation is going to hook up with the Arabs, look like. They'll be cursed just as sure. They've spurned the mercy of God. Now they must stand judgment" (Then Jesus Came, p. 22:158).
Understanding: Why so? The Arab countries and Iran have always been pro-American, despite the treachery of the C.I.A. in toppling governments in both Iran and Iraq in order to install its puppets. Whereas Arabs are Abraham's natural seed and anti-Communist, Israelis are seldom related to Shem, atheist and/or Communist. Whereas Jews have ever been the enemy of Israelites, Arabs and Christians, Arabs were Christians until the time of Mohammed. Who brutalizes Christians in Israel — Arabs or Jews? Who pushed tens of thousands of Arab Christians into exile, killed, or caused them to emigrate — Arabs or Jews? Hebrews and Arabs lived together in harmony until Jews invaded Palestine and stole their land. The United States should mind her own business, but she must obey her colonial masters, the International Banksters of the City of London who financed Communism through US Tax-exempt foundations. "Search the Scriptures, whether these things are so"!
Once again, the reason the United States "must stand the judgment" is not because it is "going to hook up with the Arabs," but "because they have spurned the mercy of God" by rejecting the jubilee (ibid p. 4:29-44, 157).
Our Brother neglected to quote the first sentence of the paragraph in which Brother Branham said, "And I think of yonder, those Jews; I see that old six-point star of David, the oldest flag in the world, hanging yonder. Why can't the nation see it?" The "six-point star of David" is the occult crest of the House of Rothschild, and is neither "the oldest flag in the world," nor was it ever the flag of ancient Israel. "Search the Scriptures . . ."
"And have you been noticing the paper, that we, the United States, are taking sides with the Arabs? Oh, brother, the handwriting's on the wall. God said, 'Whoever blesses Israel will be blessed, who curses Israel shall be cursed' (The Second Coming of the Lord, p. 9:45).
Understanding: A lot of water has flown under the bridge since Brother Branham spoke those words in 1957, during which time the United States has deceived the Arab nations, instigated coups that overthrew their governments, virtually stolen their oil, allowed banking interests to defraud them, armed and aided non-Semitic Israel whose citizens are unrelated to Abraham in treacherous wars against the Arabs, and turned a blind eye for sixty years as Israel raped, pillaged, bullied and killed Semitic Arabs who are children of Abraham. In the last fifteen years the United States has killed millions of innocent Arabs without provocation in a most underhanded, cowardly manner, bulldozing hundreds of thousands of surrendered Iraqi soldiers under desert sand, contaminating their nation with radiation, deforming a generation of newborn, and starving half a million children while force feeding Joe six-pack holocaust-type propaganda of Kuwaiti babies thrown from incubators.
In the Messages quoted, Brother Branham spoke of war with Russia, then ruled by Jews — not Israelites — Jews. The very people that control the United States and other colonies of the City of London such as Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia; occupy Israel, Germany, Japan, Iraq and Afghanistan; dominate the Arab nations militarily, and the rest of the world through usury. They have since received, I believe US$108 billion gifted aid from the United States and billions from Germany. After "50 years, 1957-2007," where is the logic of our Brother's argument?
Reading on, Brother Branham speaks of the sudden the attack on Pearl Harbour, however it was neither sudden nor was it a surprise but the meticulous treachery of America's Jewish president, Illuminatus F.D. Roosevelt, to advance plans toward Lucifer's totalitarian one world government by instituting the Judaeo-Communist United Nations and making the world a safe place for Judaeo-Communism. Like Israel, both have been financed largely by the US taxpayer. The "Cold War" was another hoax: pure make-belief like the worth of the US dollar, and the world believed the "Great Power" of our alien-controlled global Media.
Protocol 1:23: "Our Countersign is — Force and Make-believe. Only force conquers in political affairs, especially if it be concealed in the talents essential to statesmen. Violence must be the principle, and cunning and make-believe the rule for governments which do not want to lay down their crowns at the feet of agents of some new power. This evil is the one and only means to attain the end, the good. Therefore we must not stop at bribery, deceit and treachery when they should serve towards the attainment of our end. In politics one must know how to seize the property of others without hesitation if by it we secure submission and sovereignty".
The Holy Spirit in a Christian is not deceived by make-belief. Recall the paradox between Matthew 28:19 and Acts 2:38-39? Brother Branham said, "like the Dutchman, you take me for what I mean and not what I say." The Bible commands us to "search the Scriptures. . . and prove all things."
Reading on, he said, "We might put an Eisenhower in every country, and it will never stop" the earthquakes triggered by nuclear explosions God said will take place. Eisenhower was another Jewish president who served the Communist cause and is responsible for the real genocide of almost as many German civilians after World War II as the eighteen million Jewish souls claimed killed in three genocides in and between World Wars I and II. An Eisenhower in every country would have produced Armageddon.
Reading further, the Prophet speaks of "Jews" returning to Israel from Iran and Iraq in expectation of seeing the Messiah. These were not Jews but genuine Israelites whose homes and businesses were bombed by Jews to cause them to flee to Israel where they were treated like their Arab cousins, because both are Semitic children of Abraham whose birthright Esau swore he would steal back. Esau must have made a Kol Nidre vow, allowing him to renounced his agreement as ate Jacob's stew. Read Genesis 3:15, I Thessalonians 2:15, and Jack Bernstein's story linked above.
I am not criticizing Brother Branham, God told him, "Now, there's a third pull coming, but don't try to explain it. . . It'll be absolutely to the total lost, but it will be for the Bride and the church." Had the Prophet explained the revelation he would have been dead in 1963, his Message outlawed. It has been preserved because it has taken such a long time for brethren to catch the revelation. I am criticizing the dilatory attitude of potential foolish virgins who neglect the admonition of Acts 17:11; Romans 3:4; Galatians 1:8-9; I Thessalonians 5:21 and Revelation 22:17-19 by failing to take the Message back to the Scripture from Genesis to Revelation to understand what the Prophet meant rather than learning what he said.
"In using God's Word there is three things that you must not do. . . Now, you must not misinterpret the Word. You say, "Well, I believe It means this." It means just what it says. It needs no interpreter. And you must not misplace the Word. And you must not dislocate the Word. And if we would do either of these, it throws the whole Bible in a confusion and in a chaos. . . It must be kept just exactly the way God said It was" (William Branham, Christ is Revealed in His Own Word, p. 17:72-73).
The foolish virgin like the denominations ran well in the days of their founders. Now they believe they have all of God, "and have need of nothing; and do not know that they are Spiritually bankrupt, blind to God's Word, and naked of the Blood." What hindered these who ran so well? Brother Branham said they are foolish either because they were slothful, taking the attitude that "If God wants me to see such and such, He will reveal it to me," instead of "searching the Scriptures daily... zealously exerting themselves the more to confirm their calling and election." On the other hand, it may be that they never encountered the revelation of the Word for their day, either because they are in a denomination, or more likely in a Message church whose pastor is not in the faith and teaches the folly of two souls, return ministry, is unaware that the rapture has been in process since Christ returned in 1963, or is Judaizing his congregation and causing the confusion we have been discussing. "Search the Scripture" . . . God made no covenant with the Jews.
Speaking of the United States and Protestantism, Brother Branham said, "Did you ever notice, this nation is numbered thirteen? . . It's found in the 13th chapter of Revelation: this nation. All the other beasts come up out of water, which is thickness and multitudes of people, the Bible said. But this little beast come up out of the earth where there was no people. Yet, he was a lamb: freedom of religion, then he spake like a dragon and united himself with the power, and done all that the dragon did before him. Exactly. So there you are. It's just got to be that way. . ."
"And here we are today, forming a system. . . We tried to make everybody become a Lutheran and couldn't do it, try to make them all become a Baptist; we couldn't do it. All become a Methodist, or all a Pentecostal; we couldn't do it. So. . . in order to do this (the time is so short) they have formed a council, a head, a image to the beast. That's exactly what they've done. And what is it? The crucifixion of the Word again is at hand. It's on trial and will soon come to the floor."
"Notice, the manifested Word. . . difference from the denomination. What is this? What is this system? It's a satellite to Rome. Did the Bible say it would be that? Yes, sir. Revelation 17, they saw Rome raise up itself in an ecclesiastical system of a woman. A woman. . . The church is always represented by a woman, 'cause the Bride of Christ is a woman. Eve was the one fell. She's the one to be redeemed. And the church is a woman that's redeemed."
"And this woman set upon the beast with seven heads, and we know about the seven hills and so forth, as the Bible said it would be. There's no mistake; there's no chance for a mistake. See? And notice, then we find out that she was a mother of harlots. See? And mother and daughter unites together again in friendship, where once the daughter run away from the mother, to try to live decent; for her mother was so lowdown and ornery till the girl left home. But now since she's begin to get a little age and doing so many evil things herself. She sees her mother; she thinks her mother was right so she's forming a system of her own. See? Exactly."
"Uniting denominational, Protestantism fulfills exactly what the Scripture said of Revelations 17. "All whose names were not written in the Lamb's Book of Life belong to her." One or the other. You're either beast or the image of the beast. The Bible said so. And Jesus spoke of this, not as Communism, but in Matthew the 24th chapter, beginning with the 21st to the 26th verse, He predicted that the spirit in this system would be so much like the real thing till it would deceive the very elected, if it was possible. The elected whose names are put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. . . And frankly, it got them so tied up until He said if He didn't cut the work short for their sake, there'd be no flesh saved upon the earth" (What shall I do with Jesus called Christ? p. 22:92-97).
II Timothy 3:5-9, "Avoid those who have a form of godliness but deny the power of His Word. For such people are those who worm their way into households and befriend silly, sin-burdened women (symbolical of carnal churches), impulsively swayed to new doctrines, forever following new teachers and never able to come to a revelation of the truth. As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth: men of corrupt minds and counterfeit faith. But they will not go far, for their deceit will be known to all men, as was the sin of Jannes and Jambres." And there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. nl505.htm

Jannes and Jambres - Part II
Bible Believers' Newsletter #504
"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660
Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In August 2006 we introduced the late Dr. Peter Beter, one-time member of the US Supreme Court and Counsel to the US Export-Import Bank. Dr. Betar revealed information that enabled us to understand the nature and identity of what Brother Branham called "investigation judgment angels," and "flying saucers." As he explained, the NASA program is a public 'front' for a clandestine and vastly more advanced Rockefeller-controlled weaponised Moon base whose dominion of space would deliver world hegemony. Like Brother Branham, he said Russia is ahead of America in science, and that superior technology had enabled her to destroy the base and also US military satellites. The following URLs lend credence to Dr. Peter Beter's 80 Audio Letters published between 1975 and 1982.
Michael Schratt, an aerospace draftsman working at Armstrong Aerospace in Elmhurst, Illinois, believes trillions of dollars used for DoD black budget programs have been used to fund a top secret US space program that Congress and the American public know little or nothing about.
Otis T. Carr (1904-1980), a protégé of the great inventor, Nikola Tesla, constructed a number of fully functional flying saucers in the late 1950s. Ralph Ring, a brilliant innovative technician who as a young man who flew with Carr describes the development of the craft and the eventual shutdown and confiscation of the project by the US government.
The late Ben Rich, a director of advanced programs at Lockheed said, "we already have the means to travel among the stars." According to Disclosure Project Director, Dr. Steven M. Greer, government insiders have revealed the existence of a shadowy, highly classified program related to UFOs.
The Frontier Science Web suggests that one of the reasons these projects have remained secret is because they involve advanced energy and propulsion systems that would bring an end to the current oil-based geopolitical order and economy if disclosed (which would mean peace instead of war). Technologies developed by these projects could enable humanity to attain a sustainability without global warming (sic) or the need for oil. Good men are dying to prevent these technologies from being released for the benefit of humanity?
Those who read transcripts of Dr. Beter's audio letters will recall claims that technologies have been developed whereby scientists can create facsimiles of human beings and that Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, David Rockefeller, Leonid Brezhnev and other dignitaries had been assassinated and "robotoids" or "synthetics" substituted in their stead. Years ago one of our Brethren compared several Ronald Reagans and Jimmy Carters and published a DVD. Here is a more detailed explanation of the claims of Dr. Peter Beter.
Has Bible Believers entered the Twilight Zone? Did we tread on a "time-worm" and become trapped in another dimension? These things are not so strange when we recall that in 1933 God showed Brother Branham a vision of "a plastic bubble-topped car that was running down beautiful highways under remote control. . ." And according to reports, engineers demonstrated a primitive working vehicles 70 years ago. Besides, we are waiting to be "beamed up" by faith alone!
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.
Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony Grigor-Scott

In the Future, Smart People will let Cars take Control
December 4, 2007 – smart cars still have their bugs, but engineers have made amazing progress the past several years. In 2004, when the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency held its first Grand Challenge for driverless cars, none made it more than seven miles. At Darpa’s next Grand Challenge, in 2005, five cars made it 132 miles to the finish. And then, last month, six cars completed a 60-mile course that was the grandest challenge yet because they had to deal with traffic along the way.
These empty cars drove themselves around an Air Force base in Southern California, finding parking spots, obeying stop signs, idling in traffic, yielding to other cars at intersections and merging into traffic at 30 mph There was one accident and a few near misses, but the cars’ engineers are so buoyed by the results that they're hoping the next competition will be a high-speed race on a Grand Prix course. . .

National Debt grows $1 Million a Minute
Washington, December 3, 2007 – Like a ticking time bomb, the national debt is an explosion waiting to happen. It's expanding by about $1.4 billion a day – or nearly $1 million a minute. . . almost $30,000 in debt for each man, woman, child and infant in the United States.
Even if you've escaped the recent housing and credit crunches and are coping with rising fuel prices, you may still be headed for economic misery, along with the rest of the country. That's because the government is fast straining resources needed to meet interest payments on the national debt, which stands at a mind-numbing $9.13 trillion.
And like homeowners who took out adjustable-rate mortgages, the government faces the prospect of seeing this debt — now at relatively low interest rates — rolling over to higher rates, multiplying the financial pain. So long as somebody is willing to keep loaning the US government money, the debt is largely out of sight, out of mind. But the interest payments keep compounding, and could in time squeeze out most other government spending — leading to sharply higher taxes or a cut in basic services like Social Security and other government benefit programs. Or all of the above. A major economic slowdown, as some economists suggest may be looming, could hasten the day of reckoning.
The national debt—the total accumulation of annual budget deficits — is up from $5.7 trillion when President Bush took office in January 2001 and it will top $10 trillion sometime right before or right after he leaves in January 2009. . . It only gets worse. Over the next 25 years, the number of Americans aged 65 and up is expected to almost double. The work population will shrink and more and more baby boomers will be drawing Social Security and Medicare benefits. . . Aggravating the debt picture: the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates could cost $2.4 trillion over the next decade. . .
Gross Domestic Product has grown from about 35 percent in 1975 to around 65 percent today. . . "The problem is going forward," said David Wyss, chief economist at Standard and Poors. . . The dollar is down about 35 percent since the end of 2001 against a basket of major currencies. . . Full story: nytimes.com
Comment: Commentators in the Antipodes speculate recession and inflation in the USA will infect Europe, cutting China's economy, which will reduce demand from Australia's giant mines. All this is part of the planned destabilization, collapse and replacement of a psychology-backed dollar with the Judaeo-Roman gold-backed Amero or new dollar as Brother Branham prophesied.

Putin's Party overwhelms Russian Election
Moscow, December 3, 2007 – European election monitors said Monday that Russia's parliamentary ballot was unfair, hours after President Vladimir Putin's party swept 70 percent of the seats in the new legislature.
The victory paves the way for Putin to remain Russia's de facto leader even after he leaves office next spring. . . The Kremlin and its allies hailed the vote as an overwhelming endorsement of Putin and his policies. "The vote affirmed the main idea: that Vladimir Putin is the national leader, that the people support his course, and this course will continue," party leader and parliament speaker Boris Gryzlov said after exit polls were announced.

The Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act: A Tutorial in Orwellian Newspeak
December 3, 2007 – H.R 1955: the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 recently passed by the House — a companion bill is in the Senate — is barely one sentence old before its Orwellian moment: It begins, "AN ACT — To prevent homegrown terrorism, and for other purposes."
Those whose pulse did not quicken at "other purposes" have probably not read George Orwell's essay, "Politics and the English Language," or they voted for the other George both times.
Orwell's jeremiad on the corruption of the English language and its corrosive effect on a democracy was written two years before his novel "1984" spelled out in chilling detail the danger of Newspeak, which renders citizens incapable of independent thought by depriving them of the words necessary to form ideas other than those promulgated by the state.
After its opening "tribute" to Orwell, H.R 1955 is strategically peppered with Newspeak regarding the establishment of a National Commission and university-based Centers of Excellence to "examine and report upon the fact and causes of violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism and ideologically based violence in the United States" and to make legislative recommendations for combating it. . .
Anyone doubting the Orwellian nature of a "bastard child" that equates anti-globalists and environmentalists with al-Qaeda terrorists will do well to read Orwell's "Politics and the English Language" and to acquaint themselves with the fate of Winston Smith in "1984". Full story: truthout.org

Israel in Peril as Renegade US Military Leaders sign Treaty with Iran
December 4, 2007 – Russian Military reports circulating in the Kremlin today are stating that the United States Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, met with Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the Qatari capital of Doha, where both were attending a meeting of Gulf Arab leaders, and which saw them both signing what is being termed by these reports as a 'secret' non-aggression pact between Iran's Revolutionary Guard and US Military Forces.
According to these reports, Secretary Gates was spearheading an effort by the United States top renegade Military Leaders to forestall further war for the Americans reported to be led by Admiral William Fallon of the United States Navy, the current Commander of the US Central Command and overall Commander of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and General Michael V. Hayden of the United States Air Force and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Within hours of the signing of this secret agreement between the US Military and Iran, according to Western reports, the Pentagon and CIA 'leaked' one of the United States most closely guarded reports on Iran's nuclear capabilities, termed a National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), that had recently been alluded to by the United States Director of National Intelligence, and former US Navy Vice Admiral, John Michael McConnell who during his recent testimony before the US Senate stated that the 'key findings' of this reports would not be made public.
The critical significance of this report, according to Russian Intelligence experts, is that it completely shatters the American War Leaders claim for a needed war against Iran. . . Full story: Read this URL
Comment: This excellent well-supported article reveals the gallantry of honest men in the US military who have bravely withstood (another) thoroughly corrupt, alien-controlled US Administration. If "Israel is in peril" it is because of her bloody-minded and perverse ideology that is at "enmity" with Adam's race.

US says Iran ended Atomic Arms Work
Washington, December 3, 2007 – A new assessment by American intelligence agencies concludes that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and that the program remains on hold, contradicting an assessment two years ago that Tehran was working inexorably toward building a bomb.
The conclusions of the new assessment are likely to be a major factor in tense international negotiations aimed at getting Iran to halt its nuclear energy program. Concerns about Iran were raised sharply after President Bush had suggested in October that a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to "World War III," and Vice President Dick Cheney promised "serious consequences" if the government in Tehran did not abandon its nuclear program.
The finding also comes in the middle of a presidential campaign during which a possible military strike against Iran's nuclear program has been discussed. The assessment, a National Intelligence Estimate that represents the consensus view of all 16 American spy agencies, states that Tehran's ultimate intentions about gaining a nuclear weapon remain unclear, but that Iran's "decisions are guided by a cost-benefit approach rather than a rush to a weapon irrespective of the political, economic and military costs". . .
In a separate statement accompanying the N.I.E., Deputy Director of National Intelligence Donald M. Kerr said that given the new conclusions, it was important to release the report publicly "to ensure that an accurate presentation is available." Full story: truthout.org
Comment: The Deputy Director of National Intelligence is saying, "President Ahmadinejad has spoken the truth whereas the alien-controlled US Administration are a pack of liars! According to the sources, drafts of the NIE had been completed months ago, but were sent back for further work, largely due to Cheney's efforts to block findings that would undermine his war drive.
During her visit to George I in Texas, Chancellor Merkel of occupied Germany demanded Russia and China agree to tougher sanctions against Iran. Peking's slap in the face arrived without delay. China simply canceled the meeting: "Indeed China has just announced it will not discuss the IAEA discoveries, as originally planned on November 19 with the USA, Great Britain, France, Russia and Germany. Therefore the Meeting of the Six was canceled. A new date has not been established for now. Therefore, Bush's schedule for tougher sanctions against Iran is endangered" (www.spiegel.de, November 16, 2007). But the White House lies persist.
"Day before yesterday Bush even warned of a 'Third World War,' which must be prevented," according to Torsten Krauel (www.Welt.de, Oct. 19, 2007, p. 9). Krauel is the first mainstream journalist who openly confirmed that Bush's threat of a World War was directed at Iran's holocaust enlightenment.
"There is no automatic control mechanism for war, but words are being said that are difficult to take back. The concrete cause of the sharp words directed at Iran is the suspicion that the country is breaking the nuclear weapons nonproliferation agreement that it signed in 1970. Their true reason, however, is Iran's posture on other issues. The threat is directed at a country whose president denies the holocaust."
Torsten Krauel points out why Iran's nuclear program is not the true reason for the war threat. "Iran cannot even legally break the non-proliferation treaty. It doesn't contain one syllable about what would constitute a "breach" of the contract, and not one iota about what would be allowed to occur in case of an undefined breach. The West saddles a contract with a war sanction for which there is no legal handle. Iran is formally at war with the United Nations, it evades a UN treaty that isn't crystal clear but full of gaps, because for political reasons that was the desired form forty years ago. The non- proliferation agreement would not have been ratified otherwise. The nuclear powers also excluded ways to treat unfaithful signatories. . . Iran does not take responsibility for the gaps. . . Therefore, after the fact, the US and many allies want to equip the agreement with teeth. However the consequences of any strengthening by way of an attack order would be great. If this became a precedent, any UN treaty would become an ad hoc law. The sentence, 'no punishment without a law' would be subject to time limitation. The enforcement of an agreement containing gaps would be gained by turning the entire UN international law into a gray zone. Whatever we can't accomplish at ratification, we will get along the way" (www.Welt, October 19, 2007, p. 9).
"The hardly reported high point of Russian president Vladimir Putin's Teheran visit within the framework of last week's summit of the Caspian Sea Neighbors was the meeting with their highest revolutionary leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameinei. It has been reported to Asia Times by a reliable diplomatic source in Teheran that Putin and the highest revolutionary leader have prepared a plan with which they want to nullify the constant attempts by the Bush administration to initiate a preventive attack on Iran. An attack on Iran will be considered an attack on Russia, in accordance with the official Moscow stance" (www.atimes.com, October 26, 2007).
Therefore tougher bandages are being applied, such as proven by the overflight ban issued against Lufthansa planes. Also, the fact that a Bundeswehr (German Army) Airbus had to turn back during its flight to Usbekistan because Russia denied it overflight rights, speaks of Russia's new role as a world power. The people of the FRG will have to decide whether they will attach themselves to a third world war, ordered by Israel, and perish, or finally want to land a liberating punch.
The following linked articles provide background for understanding how "the City of London" is driving the world to the "hot stage" of World War III. Read in conjunction with Ezekiel 38 – 39 and Daniel 11 they show how "the king of the North" (Russia), "the king of the South" (Iran), and "the kings of the East" have been encircled and are being provoked to kill for Lucifer's one world government being built by "the children of the Devil" who control the apostate (once) Christian nations and the other side. See The Sino-Russian Alliance: Challenging America's Ambitions in Eurasia and The "Great Game" Enters the Mediterranean: Gas, Oil, War, and Geo-Politics .
Slothful foolish virgin, especially flag-waving Americans, imagine their country is on the side of righteousness, although she rejected her final opportunity for national repentance in 1956/7. Daniel and Jesus state plainly: the "teeth of iron and nails of brass" that "devour and break in pieces, and stamp the rest of humanity with its feet . . . causing whoever will not obey her to be killed" are American! The United States is a carcass picked bare, her physical economy is offshore in enemy hands. The enemy within her gates demands his pound of flesh. Cold, motherless and broke, she prostitutes her sons and daughters as mercenaries to be "blooded" on innocent Muslims. Lucifer and his children rule the governments of all nations and will martyr the righteous remaining on earth (Daniel 8:19; Revelation 13:15; 14:13; Genesis 27:40; Matthew 4:8-9)!

Ex-Italian President: Intel Agencies know 9/11 an Inside Job
December 4, 2007 – Former Italian President who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, Francesco Cossiga, has gone public on 9/11, telling Italy's most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies. . .
Cossiga's tendency to be outspoken upset the Italian political establishment and he was forced to resign after revealing the existence of, and his part in setting up, Operation Gladio — a rogue intelligence network under NATO auspices that carried out bombings across Europe in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Gladio's specialty was to carry out what they coined "false flag operations," terror attacks that were blamed on their domestic and geopolitical opposition.
Cossiga's revelations contributed to an Italian parliamentary investigation of Gladio in 2000, during which evidence was unearthed that the attacks were being overseen by the US intelligence apparatus. . . Cossiga's new revelations appeared last week in Italy's oldest and most widely read newspaper, Corriere della Sera. . . Full story: infowars.com

Jannes and Jambres - Part II
II Timothy 3:5-9, "Avoid those who have a form of godliness but deny the power of His Word. For such people are those who worm their way into households and befriend silly, sin-burdened women (symbolical of the denominational churches), impulsively swayed to new doctrines, forever following new teachers and never able to come to a revelation of the truth. As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth: men of corrupt minds and counterfeit faith. But they will not go far, for their deceit will be known to all men, as was the sin of Jannes and Jambres".
This prophecy for "the last days" or Messianic Age following Titus' destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, is nearing its climax now, in "the shortening of days" or holy convocation under the Seventh Seal as Christ's intercession for PART-Word is fulfilled and there is "silence is heaven about the space of half an hour" whilst His end-time Bride makes Herself ready for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation by growing to maturity in the unity of the faith.
God commissioned Moses to deliver the children of Israel from bondage under the Egyptian superpower and He gave Moses three signs. Exodus 4:2-9, "The Lord asked Moses, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod. And God said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it. And the Lord said to Moses, Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand: That they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you. And the Lord said furthermore, Put your hand into your bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, his hand was leprous as snow. And He said, Put your hand into your bosom again. And he did so; and when he took it out it was restored to be like his other flesh. In case they will not believe you nor mind the voice of the first sign, they will believe the voice of the second sign. However, should they not believe either of these two signs, neither listen to your voice, then take some water from the river, and pour it onto the dry land: the water you take out of the river shall become blood on the land".
Pharaoh's magicians Jannes and Jambres withstood God in Moses. They impersonated his first sign; then they conjured up frogs and lice but were not able to dispel them; neither could they create nor heal. As Moses delivered Israel from Egypt in the first exodus and Paul delivered the Church out of Israel in the second exodus, Brother Branham was sent to deliver the Bride out of the church in the third exodus, and God gave him three signs. As Moses had a sign in his right hand, God caused Brother Branham's left hand to react to the frequency of disease in a patient seeking Divine healing. His second sign was "discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart. . . as it was in the days of Lot" (Hebrews 4:12; Luke 17:28-30). His third sign was the revelation of the Seven Seals, which "finished the mystery of God," and brought the world to judgment. As the waters of the Nile, the source of natural Life, became the source of death when Pharaoh rejected God's Word by Moses, those who reject the revelation of the Seven Seals which brought Christ back to earth in WORD form have committed the unpardonable sin by refusing the source of eternal Life. This explains why much of today's preaching is to souls that are in imprisoned now.
Matthew 24:24-31, "There shall arise false Christs, (not false Jesus', but false anointed ministers) and false prophets, who shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (But the elect of God cannot be deceived on the revealed Word of God. "However, all who's names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world will worship Rome's Devil-incarnate pope" – Revelation 13:8). Remember, I have forewarned you. So if these false anointed ones say, 'He is in the desert,' don't bother to look. Or, 'He is hiding at a certain place,' do not believe them (because His second Coming is not His (Gk. 'erchomai') physical return but a (Gk. 'parousia' Coming). For the [parousia] Coming of the Son of man will be like the lightning that flashes from the East and shines to the West. And throughout the world, wheresoever the living Body Word (of the present Truth — Zechariah 14:7; Matthew 17:11; Revelation 10:1-7) is, there the eagles (those with anointed eyes) will be gathered together."
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days (in the time of the "squeeze" at the end of the Gentile dispensation) the sun [of God's Word] be will darkened, the moon (church) will not reflect the Son-Light, and the stars (non-elect ministers) will fall from heaven (as they become souls imprisoned in darkness their names are blotted from the Book of Life), and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken (as the heavenly tabernacle is cleansed and Lucifer and his demons cast down to earth — Revelation 12:7-13): then the sign of the Son of man shall appear (over Israel in the East as it appeared over Arizona in the West): and all the tribes of the earth will mourn (in the realization they have missed the first resurrection and must surrender their lives in martyrdom in order to preserve their names in the Book of Life and salvation), and they shall see the [sign of the] Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory (as we saw the sign of His Coming to us that appeared in the West on February 28, 1963). And He shall send His angels (or anoint two Hebrew prophets with the Spirit that empowered Moses and Elijah) with a great sound of Israel's Seventh Trumpet, and they shall gather together His 144,000 elect Israelites from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other".
As the people Moses was commissioned to deliver railed in unbelief against him, and Jannes and Jambres who claimed to be fellow seers and workers of miracles withstood him, denominational worshippers poured contempt upon Brother Branham and colleagues impersonated the hand of God in his vindicated ministry: "men of corrupt minds and counterfeit faith. But they will not go far, for their deceit will be known to all men, as was the sin of Jannes and Jambres".
Had Jannes and Jambres not withstood Moses by impersonating the hand of God, Pharaoh may have been persuaded to let His people go and preserved his empire from destruction. Likewise, had their antitype not withstood Brother Branham by impersonating the hand of God, many bound under the religious empire of Rome and her (once) Protestant image, and the natural "empire of the City of London," the so-called British Empire, Communist and every other country dominated by the Moneypower, may have been freed from Satan's oppression and preserved from the destruction about to overtake Earth.
Jannes means "he vexed," and Jambres means "foamy healer." The most prominent ministers to withstand the messenger and Message to the Laodicean Church Age, and the Word for this hour, are Billy Graham and Oral Roberts. Billy Graham has vexed or oppressed God's people by spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt in opposition to THUS SAITH THE LORD of His vindicated Prophet. Whereas one word of disbelief is the kingdom of Satan, Graham's ministry was anything but "the same yesterday, and today, and forever," swinging 180o from error while Christ was still a Mediator, to iniquity following the end of mediation and the revelation of the Seven Seals. Graham often appears as a well connected covert political operative. In his unauthorized biography, The Prince of War: Billy Graham's Crusade for a Wholly Christian Empire, Cecil Bothwell documents the unseen side of Graham's relationship with U.S. presidents as well as his opposition to Martin Luther King Jr.'s work. Brother Branham thought King was inspired by Judaeo-Communism and said his legacy will lead about a million of his people into a death trap.
Billy Graham's assimilation into Rome's world-church system began in 1944 under the influence of his friend, Bishop Fulton Sheen of New York and subsequent patrimony (flattery) of bishops and priests. Graham was the dedication speaker at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he said, "This is the greatest moment of my life." Later he appeared with Oral Roberts in a joint national television broadcast.
Brother Branham said, "Brother Oral Roberts: I remember when he had his first meeting, come over to my meeting. . . at Kansas City, little ragged tent setting across the other side. And he said, "Brother Branham, you think God would hear my prayer for the sick?"
I said, "He will hear anybody's prayer, Brother Roberts."
And I remember Tommy Osborn when he nailed hisself up that night when the demoniac run out on the platform to kill me (you've read the story of it), Portland Oregon. And then he come to my house, and he said, "Brother Branham, oh, do you think I have got a gift of healing?"
I said, "Brother Osborn, you are a promising young man." I said, "If this keeps on it'll be like any other revival. It'll come to pass that a fellow won't think he's got a ministry 'less he's got a healing service." I said, "Don't think about that." I said, "If God called you to preach the Gospel, He called you to pray for the sick." And I said, "Just stay right with it. See?"
Your pastors has just the same rights to pray for you as any evangelist on the field. And if your pastor's not there, your good God-saved neighbor can do the same, your husband, or your brother, your child, or whoever it is. "Confess your faults one for another; pray one for another that you may be healed." That's true. . .
So I never tried to get money. And those two brethren that I mentioned, two fine, loyal, sweet, God-saved men, is T. L. Osborn and O. L. Roberts. That's exactly truth, They are fine men. I know them both since their ministry begin and they're real fine brothers.
And I went to Brother Osborn's the other day, and over there when I had a meeting in Tulsa, and I looked how God had bless him. And he's a great missionary, does missionary work. And the money that you send to Brother Osborn is certainly used right. He is a fine God-saved man. And I went into his place, and he put his arms around me, commenced crying, showed me where all the places he had been. He said, "Brother Branham, that's part of your ministry." He said, "If you had not have went and done as the Lord . . . told you to do." said, "I am just one of your students," as it was. Think, a man of that caliber telling a little person like me that he was my student. That's takes a real sweet, humble spirit.
And then, when I was there, Brother Oral Roberts fell and hurt his leg. And I went into his lovely big home there, and I couldn't have been no better treated if I'd been an angel come from heaven when I went to pray for him. And he had a knee that had. . . Oh, it was in terrible condition. And while I was praying, the blood veins come down and made a big "v" on top of his knee; got right up and walked away.
So I went into his homes, and how beautiful, and nice, and a big home. I just wept. When I went outside and looked at his great big building there, how beautiful it was put together, everything in a triune block. And I seen that mirror there of the hands reaching down. And when I walked outside and looked, I never seen nothing anywhere in the world like it anywhere. And I thought, "O God, great Jehovah, how thankful I am. That shows the faith of one man that can really get a hold of God and do something like that. How I'm thankful."
Then Satan said to me, "He must not think very much of you. What if He come to your place and seen one little typewriter setting up there in the end of a trailer? What kind of an office would that be?"
I said, "Well, I'm doing the best I can. That's all." Have a hard time ever getting any letters answered. And I looked up and I thought, "My, I would sure hate for them brothers to come to my place and see my office." But then as I was standing there, something sweet happened. And I never forget it. Just as plain as I ever heard a voice in my life, He said, "But I am your Portion."
And I said, "Thank You, Lord. I'll gladly take that way 'cause I cannot have the mentality to operate a worldwide radio like Brother Roberts, and the thousands of souls that he reaches. But in my little humble way if You will just help me, and You be my Portion and I'll just follow you. And wherever You lead me then I'll do in the little way. 'Cause we got to have the little stones kinda fits in with the big stones" (It wasn't so from the Beginning, #62-0411).
God never had two major prophets work simultaneously on the same field. He used one man free from organization. Any more than one major prophet would create confusion. Oral Roberts and Tommy Osborn were both inspired by Brother Branham's gift of healing, but the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable and sovereignly given for a specific purpose, so when they spoke with him, Brother Branham did not encourage them to press into a healing ministry or gift to which they were not ordained, but to preach the Word of God, He would vindicate with signs following.
The Voice of the first two signs God gave Brother Branham, like those given to Jesus and Moses, was to attract attention of people to hear the Message of his third sign. If a prophet is inspired by God he will not quote Scripture already delivered by previous prophets, he will unfold further revelation of existing prophecy or words of particular importance to the hearer, such as warning a family to remove the furniture from a home that is about to be struck by lightning.
Oral Roberts was chief among a mass of evangelists who impersonated the gift of healing he did not possess. Of course, many were healed as God honoured their faith through Robert's ministry, but he should not have tried to pattern a ministry after the ministry God ordained to Brother Branham as he was unknowingly diverting the attention of people away from the Prophet of God's "third pull," which was his Message. Ultimately there were so many rival faith healers, each with immense financial overheads, some were led more by their accountant than by the Spirit of the Lord; and their ministries created confusion, distracting attention from the real prophet. To avoid confusion, Brother Branham would not conduct meetings in the same town as another evangelist, and did not hold meetings on Sunday but spoke in a local church.
Oral Roberts and many of his contemporaries became millionaires, flying the world in private jets and hobnobbing with the rich and famous sinners. Brother Branham said, "In almost thirty-one years I never took an offering in my life [to meet the cost of evangelism]. Never took one offering in my life, and I never intend to. So I used to work. I pastored the Baptist Tabernacle at Jeffersonville for seventeen years without one cent, worked as a state game warden, line work, whatever I could get to do, and paid my own way, and helped build the church. . . I'm not in for a lot of this big money program.
And what if I had to get up as much money as some of the brethren have to? What if I had to meet the expenses of Billy Graham? What if I had to meet the expenses of Oral Roberts? I could never come to a small place like this and have a meeting. But I like to keep myself where I have no expenses, and then wherever the Lord leads me I can go. See? I am under no obligations.
I just held a revival in a church that held twenty people. It was awful but we held it, and the Lord blessed and done a great thing. People stood in zero weather crying and snubbing and breath froze on their face. But they got saved, so what's the difference as long as they get saved? And I don't have any money, I guess my. . . If I'd check my account tonight and it. . . If I'm not in the red I can't be over about a hundred-and-fifty dollars.
So what would I do with that where perhaps Mr. Roberts has to meet around seven, or eight, ten thousand dollars a day. Oh, I wouldn't have that on me for nothing. My, oh, my, God knowed better than that. He knowed I ain't. . . I haven't got that much mental powers to take care of stuff like that. I just couldn't do it. I'm so thankful that God has men to do that (It wasn't so from the Beginning, #62-0411).
According to news reports, "Now, at age 89, the Tulsa, Oklahoma university that bears his name has called Roberts home from a California retirement — under the most excruciating of circumstances. On Wednesday, the head regent at Oral Roberts University announced that the school is an astonishing $52.5 million in debt. This news arrived just three weeks after the revelation of a wrongful termination suit filed against the school by three former professors who claim that they were fired after providing the school's Board of Regents with a report detailing moral and ethical lapses by Oral's son Richard, who had inherited the school's presidency from his father, and Richard's wife Lindsay. Among the allegations: the Roberts had remodeled their home eleven times in 14 years with university money; they bankrolled one of their daughters' $29,411 trip to the Bahamas with school funds; and (his daughter-in-law) Lindsay Roberts had spent the night in an O.R.U. guest-house with an underage male nine times".
"In spite of his literalistic faith in the Bible, it was quite true, as Jim Buskirk observed, that Oral was "not fundamentalist," but rather he spanned "the Bible in his theology. He thinks of it wholistically." Roberts was not rigid or legalistic; he did not, in fact, have a systematic theology. When Reader's Digest published a condensed version of the Bible in 1982, fundamentalists uniformly denounced the project, but Oral endorsed it. Whereas the Bible became a static, verbally inspired book to nineteenth-century evangelicals, to Pentecostals it was a living revelation to be perceived by experience" (David Edwin Harrell, Jr., Oral Roberts: An American Life, p. 441).
Oral Roberts was not a prophet of God, despite claims of outrageous visions, personal visitations and revelations over the years, all of which have proven to be without substance. Oral Roberts' achievements, exemplified in the Biblical Disneyland on campus, were tangible elements that one could touch, taste, smell, see and hear, whereas "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," and the thrust of his ministry was psychology. Harrell writes: "I offered to appear before the Senate Investigating Committee in Washington and present evidence that Oral Roberts was guilty of "payola" on his TV Healing program. Among other things, I had evidence to prove that a person had "performed" on the Roberts healing TV program, claiming that he was healed as a "cripple;" but it was all a fake and he was paid by them to "fake" the healing. The person who faked the healing offered to testify."
"Probably the most damaging religious attack on Oral ever published appeared in the Presbyterian Outlook in 1955. The article, written by Carroll R. Stegall, Jr., pastor of the Pryor Street Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, Georgia, was later republished in a widely circulated tract. It was Stegall's tract which preceded Oral to Australia and fanned opposition to him."
"Stegall's curiosity was piqued by the March 1952 issue of Healing Waters, which featured a cover picture of "three great medical doctors congratulating Oral Roberts." Stegall and Donald Grey Barnhouse, a noted conservative Presbyterian pastor in Philadelphia, addressed an inquiry to the American Medical Association that "brought the answer from their bureau of investigation that not one of the men mentioned. . . could be identified as doctors of medicine. . . One of the three men was found operating in Phoenix as a "naturopathic physician" [meaning he was not a licensed medical doctor]. No organization headed by "Dr. J.H. Miller, outstanding medical doctor and president of a medial society of over 20,000 physicians," was discovered." "Stegall later attended a number of campaigns, interviewed Oral, and did some follow-up interviews with those who had passed through the healing line. He concluded that Oral was not "as bad as some others in the miracle business," but found no basis to support his claims. "I have never seen a vestige of change. I challenge any honest investigator to follow my technique and see whether his findings do not agree with mine." Stegall concluded: "So far from glorifying God with this they (the healing evangelists) cause His name to be blasphemed by the world by their excesses. So far from curing, they often kill. Far from blessing, their arrival in a city is rather a curse, a misery, a racket, a destruction of faith in simple people" (ibid. p. 163-164).
James 5:14-16, "Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much".
When I visited Oral Roberts University in the mid-80s, his five star International Hotel-like sky-scraping hospital, appeared to be a vacant building— testimony to God's permissive will and a vindication of the prophecy of St. Paul, "the folly of their deceit will be manifest to all men, as was the sin of Jannes and Jambres". nl504.htm

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In August 2006 we introduced the late Dr. Peter Beter, one-time member of the US Supreme Court and Counsel to the US Export-Import Bank. Dr. Betar revealed information that enabled us to understand the nature and identity of what Brother Branham called "investigation judgment angels," and "flying saucers." As he explained, the NASA program is a public 'front' for a clandestine and vastly more advanced Rockefeller-controlled weaponised Moon base whose dominion of space would deliver world hegemony. Like Brother Branham, he said Russia is ahead of America in science, and that superior technology had enabled her to destroy the base and also US military satellites. The following URLs lend credence to Dr. Peter Beter's 80 Audio Letters published between 1975 and 1982.
Michael Schratt, an aerospace draftsman working at Armstrong Aerospace in Elmhurst, Illinois, believes trillions of dollars used for DoD black budget programs have been used to fund a top secret US space program that Congress and the American public know little or nothing about.
Otis T. Carr (1904-1980), a protégé of the great inventor, Nikola Tesla, constructed a number of fully functional flying saucers in the late 1950s. Ralph Ring, a brilliant innovative technician who as a young man who flew with Carr describes the development of the craft and the eventual shutdown and confiscation of the project by the US government.
The late Ben Rich, a director of advanced programs at Lockheed said, "we already have the means to travel among the stars." According to Disclosure Project Director, Dr. Steven M. Greer, government insiders have revealed the existence of a shadowy, highly classified program related to UFOs.
The Frontier Science Web suggests that one of the reasons these projects have remained secret is because they involve advanced energy and propulsion systems that would bring an end to the current oil-based geopolitical order and economy if disclosed (which would mean peace instead of war). Technologies developed by these projects could enable humanity to attain a sustainability without global warming (sic) or the need for oil. Good men are dying to prevent these technologies from being released for the benefit of humanity?
Those who read transcripts of Dr. Beter's audio letters will recall claims that technologies have been developed whereby scientists can create facsimiles of human beings and that Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, David Rockefeller, Leonid Brezhnev and other dignitaries had been assassinated and "robotoids" or "synthetics" substituted in their stead. Years ago one of our Brethren compared several Ronald Reagans and Jimmy Carters and published a DVD. Here is a more detailed explanation of the claims of Dr. Peter Beter.
Has Bible Believers entered the Twilight Zone? Did we tread on a "time-worm" and become trapped in another dimension? These things are not so strange when we recall that in 1933 God showed Brother Branham a vision of "a plastic bubble-topped car that was running down beautiful highways under remote control. . ." And according to reports, engineers demonstrated a primitive working vehicles 70 years ago. Besides, we are waiting to be "beamed up" by faith alone!

In the Future, Smart People will let Cars take Control
December 4, 2007 – smart cars still have their bugs, but engineers have made amazing progress the past several years. In 2004, when the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency held its first Grand Challenge for driverless cars, none made it more than seven miles. At Darpa’s next Grand Challenge, in 2005, five cars made it 132 miles to the finish. And then, last month, six cars completed a 60-mile course that was the grandest challenge yet because they had to deal with traffic along the way.
These empty cars drove themselves around an Air Force base in Southern California, finding parking spots, obeying stop signs, idling in traffic, yielding to other cars at intersections and merging into traffic at 30 mph There was one accident and a few near misses, but the cars’ engineers are so buoyed by the results that they're hoping the next competition will be a high-speed race on a Grand Prix course. . .

National Debt grows $1 Million a Minute
Washington, December 3, 2007 – Like a ticking time bomb, the national debt is an explosion waiting to happen. It's expanding by about $1.4 billion a day – or nearly $1 million a minute. . . almost $30,000 in debt for each man, woman, child and infant in the United States.
Even if you've escaped the recent housing and credit crunches and are coping with rising fuel prices, you may still be headed for economic misery, along with the rest of the country. That's because the government is fast straining resources needed to meet interest payments on the national debt, which stands at a mind-numbing $9.13 trillion.
And like homeowners who took out adjustable-rate mortgages, the government faces the prospect of seeing this debt — now at relatively low interest rates — rolling over to higher rates, multiplying the financial pain. So long as somebody is willing to keep loaning the US government money, the debt is largely out of sight, out of mind. But the interest payments keep compounding, and could in time squeeze out most other government spending — leading to sharply higher taxes or a cut in basic services like Social Security and other government benefit programs. Or all of the above. A major economic slowdown, as some economists suggest may be looming, could hasten the day of reckoning.
The national debt—the total accumulation of annual budget deficits — is up from $5.7 trillion when President Bush took office in January 2001 and it will top $10 trillion sometime right before or right after he leaves in January 2009. . . It only gets worse. Over the next 25 years, the number of Americans aged 65 and up is expected to almost double. The work population will shrink and more and more baby boomers will be drawing Social Security and Medicare benefits. . . Aggravating the debt picture: the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates could cost $2.4 trillion over the next decade. . .
Gross Domestic Product has grown from about 35 percent in 1975 to around 65 percent today. . . "The problem is going forward," said David Wyss, chief economist at Standard and Poors. . . The dollar is down about 35 percent since the end of 2001 against a basket of major currencies. . . Full story: nytimes.com
Comment: Commentators in the Antipodes speculate recession and inflation in the USA will infect Europe, cutting China's economy, which will reduce demand from Australia's giant mines. All this is part of the planned destabilization, collapse and replacement of a psychology-backed dollar with the Judaeo-Roman gold-backed Amero or new dollar as Brother Branham prophesied.

Putin's Party overwhelms Russian Election
Moscow, December 3, 2007 – European election monitors said Monday that Russia's parliamentary ballot was unfair, hours after President Vladimir Putin's party swept 70 percent of the seats in the new legislature.
The victory paves the way for Putin to remain Russia's de facto leader even after he leaves office next spring. . . The Kremlin and its allies hailed the vote as an overwhelming endorsement of Putin and his policies. "The vote affirmed the main idea: that Vladimir Putin is the national leader, that the people support his course, and this course will continue," party leader and parliament speaker Boris Gryzlov said after exit polls were announced.

The Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act: A Tutorial in Orwellian Newspeak
December 3, 2007 – H.R 1955: the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 recently passed by the House — a companion bill is in the Senate — is barely one sentence old before its Orwellian moment: It begins, "AN ACT — To prevent homegrown terrorism, and for other purposes."
Those whose pulse did not quicken at "other purposes" have probably not read George Orwell's essay, "Politics and the English Language," or they voted for the other George both times.
Orwell's jeremiad on the corruption of the English language and its corrosive effect on a democracy was written two years before his novel "1984" spelled out in chilling detail the danger of Newspeak, which renders citizens incapable of independent thought by depriving them of the words necessary to form ideas other than those promulgated by the state.
After its opening "tribute" to Orwell, H.R 1955 is strategically peppered with Newspeak regarding the establishment of a National Commission and university-based Centers of Excellence to "examine and report upon the fact and causes of violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism and ideologically based violence in the United States" and to make legislative recommendations for combating it. . .
Anyone doubting the Orwellian nature of a "bastard child" that equates anti-globalists and environmentalists with al-Qaeda terrorists will do well to read Orwell's "Politics and the English Language" and to acquaint themselves with the fate of Winston Smith in "1984". Full story: truthout.org

Israel in Peril as Renegade US Military Leaders sign Treaty with Iran
December 4, 2007 – Russian Military reports circulating in the Kremlin today are stating that the United States Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, met with Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the Qatari capital of Doha, where both were attending a meeting of Gulf Arab leaders, and which saw them both signing what is being termed by these reports as a 'secret' non-aggression pact between Iran's Revolutionary Guard and US Military Forces.
According to these reports, Secretary Gates was spearheading an effort by the United States top renegade Military Leaders to forestall further war for the Americans reported to be led by Admiral William Fallon of the United States Navy, the current Commander of the US Central Command and overall Commander of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and General Michael V. Hayden of the United States Air Force and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Within hours of the signing of this secret agreement between the US Military and Iran, according to Western reports, the Pentagon and CIA 'leaked' one of the United States most closely guarded reports on Iran's nuclear capabilities, termed a National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), that had recently been alluded to by the United States Director of National Intelligence, and former US Navy Vice Admiral, John Michael McConnell who during his recent testimony before the US Senate stated that the 'key findings' of this reports would not be made public.
The critical significance of this report, according to Russian Intelligence experts, is that it completely shatters the American War Leaders claim for a needed war against Iran. . . Full story: Read this URL
Comment: This excellent well-supported article reveals the gallantry of honest men in the US military who have bravely withstood (another) thoroughly corrupt, alien-controlled US Administration. If "Israel is in peril" it is because of her bloody-minded and perverse ideology that is at "enmity" with Adam's race.

US says Iran ended Atomic Arms Work
Washington, December 3, 2007 – A new assessment by American intelligence agencies concludes that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and that the program remains on hold, contradicting an assessment two years ago that Tehran was working inexorably toward building a bomb.
The conclusions of the new assessment are likely to be a major factor in tense international negotiations aimed at getting Iran to halt its nuclear energy program. Concerns about Iran were raised sharply after President Bush had suggested in October that a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to "World War III," and Vice President Dick Cheney promised "serious consequences" if the government in Tehran did not abandon its nuclear program.
The finding also comes in the middle of a presidential campaign during which a possible military strike against Iran's nuclear program has been discussed. The assessment, a National Intelligence Estimate that represents the consensus view of all 16 American spy agencies, states that Tehran's ultimate intentions about gaining a nuclear weapon remain unclear, but that Iran's "decisions are guided by a cost-benefit approach rather than a rush to a weapon irrespective of the political, economic and military costs". . .
In a separate statement accompanying the N.I.E., Deputy Director of National Intelligence Donald M. Kerr said that given the new conclusions, it was important to release the report publicly "to ensure that an accurate presentation is available." Full story: truthout.org
Comment: The Deputy Director of National Intelligence is saying, "President Ahmadinejad has spoken the truth whereas the alien-controlled US Administration are a pack of liars! According to the sources, drafts of the NIE had been completed months ago, but were sent back for further work, largely due to Cheney's efforts to block findings that would undermine his war drive.
During her visit to George I in Texas, Chancellor Merkel of occupied Germany demanded Russia and China agree to tougher sanctions against Iran. Peking's slap in the face arrived without delay. China simply canceled the meeting: "Indeed China has just announced it will not discuss the IAEA discoveries, as originally planned on November 19 with the USA, Great Britain, France, Russia and Germany. Therefore the Meeting of the Six was canceled. A new date has not been established for now. Therefore, Bush's schedule for tougher sanctions against Iran is endangered" (www.spiegel.de, November 16, 2007). But the White House lies persist.
"Day before yesterday Bush even warned of a 'Third World War,' which must be prevented," according to Torsten Krauel (www.Welt.de, Oct. 19, 2007, p. 9). Krauel is the first mainstream journalist who openly confirmed that Bush's threat of a World War was directed at Iran's holocaust enlightenment.
"There is no automatic control mechanism for war, but words are being said that are difficult to take back. The concrete cause of the sharp words directed at Iran is the suspicion that the country is breaking the nuclear weapons nonproliferation agreement that it signed in 1970. Their true reason, however, is Iran's posture on other issues. The threat is directed at a country whose president denies the holocaust."
Torsten Krauel points out why Iran's nuclear program is not the true reason for the war threat. "Iran cannot even legally break the non-proliferation treaty. It doesn't contain one syllable about what would constitute a "breach" of the contract, and not one iota about what would be allowed to occur in case of an undefined breach. The West saddles a contract with a war sanction for which there is no legal handle. Iran is formally at war with the United Nations, it evades a UN treaty that isn't crystal clear but full of gaps, because for political reasons that was the desired form forty years ago. The non- proliferation agreement would not have been ratified otherwise. The nuclear powers also excluded ways to treat unfaithful signatories. . . Iran does not take responsibility for the gaps. . . Therefore, after the fact, the US and many allies want to equip the agreement with teeth. However the consequences of any strengthening by way of an attack order would be great. If this became a precedent, any UN treaty would become an ad hoc law. The sentence, 'no punishment without a law' would be subject to time limitation. The enforcement of an agreement containing gaps would be gained by turning the entire UN international law into a gray zone. Whatever we can't accomplish at ratification, we will get along the way" (www.Welt, October 19, 2007, p. 9).
"The hardly reported high point of Russian president Vladimir Putin's Teheran visit within the framework of last week's summit of the Caspian Sea Neighbors was the meeting with their highest revolutionary leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameinei. It has been reported to Asia Times by a reliable diplomatic source in Teheran that Putin and the highest revolutionary leader have prepared a plan with which they want to nullify the constant attempts by the Bush administration to initiate a preventive attack on Iran. An attack on Iran will be considered an attack on Russia, in accordance with the official Moscow stance" (www.atimes.com, October 26, 2007).
Therefore tougher bandages are being applied, such as proven by the overflight ban issued against Lufthansa planes. Also, the fact that a Bundeswehr (German Army) Airbus had to turn back during its flight to Usbekistan because Russia denied it overflight rights, speaks of Russia's new role as a world power. The people of the FRG will have to decide whether they will attach themselves to a third world war, ordered by Israel, and perish, or finally want to land a liberating punch.
The following linked articles provide background for understanding how "the City of London" is driving the world to the "hot stage" of World War III. Read in conjunction with Ezekiel 38 – 39 and Daniel 11 they show how "the king of the North" (Russia), "the king of the South" (Iran), and "the kings of the East" have been encircled and are being provoked to kill for Lucifer's one world government being built by "the children of the Devil" who control the apostate (once) Christian nations and the other side. See The Sino-Russian Alliance: Challenging America's Ambitions in Eurasia and The "Great Game" Enters the Mediterranean: Gas, Oil, War, and Geo-Politics .
Slothful foolish virgin, especially flag-waving Americans, imagine their country is on the side of righteousness, although she rejected her final opportunity for national repentance in 1956/7. Daniel and Jesus state plainly: the "teeth of iron and nails of brass" that "devour and break in pieces, and stamp the rest of humanity with its feet . . . causing whoever will not obey her to be killed" are American! The United States is a carcass picked bare, her physical economy is offshore in enemy hands. The enemy within her gates demands his pound of flesh. Cold, motherless and broke, she prostitutes her sons and daughters as mercenaries to be "blooded" on innocent Muslims. Lucifer and his children rule the governments of all nations and will martyr the righteous remaining on earth (Daniel 8:19; Revelation 13:15; 14:13; Genesis 27:40; Matthew 4:8-9)!

Ex-Italian President: Intel Agencies know 9/11 an Inside Job
December 4, 2007 – Former Italian President who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, Francesco Cossiga, has gone public on 9/11, telling Italy's most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies. . .
Cossiga's tendency to be outspoken upset the Italian political establishment and he was forced to resign after revealing the existence of, and his part in setting up, Operation Gladio — a rogue intelligence network under NATO auspices that carried out bombings across Europe in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Gladio's specialty was to carry out what they coined "false flag operations," terror attacks that were blamed on their domestic and geopolitical opposition.
Cossiga's revelations contributed to an Italian parliamentary investigation of Gladio in 2000, during which evidence was unearthed that the attacks were being overseen by the US intelligence apparatus. . . Cossiga's new revelations appeared last week in Italy's oldest and most widely read newspaper, Corriere della Sera. . . Full story: infowars.com

Jannes and Jambres - Part II
II Timothy 3:5-9, "Avoid those who have a form of godliness but deny the power of His Word. For such people are those who worm their way into households and befriend silly, sin-burdened women (symbolical of the denominational churches), impulsively swayed to new doctrines, forever following new teachers and never able to come to a revelation of the truth. As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth: men of corrupt minds and counterfeit faith. But they will not go far, for their deceit will be known to all men, as was the sin of Jannes and Jambres".
This prophecy for "the last days" or Messianic Age following Titus' destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, is nearing its climax now, in "the shortening of days" or holy convocation under the Seventh Seal as Christ's intercession for PART-Word is fulfilled and there is "silence is heaven about the space of half an hour" whilst His end-time Bride makes Herself ready for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation by growing to maturity in the unity of the faith.
God commissioned Moses to deliver the children of Israel from bondage under the Egyptian superpower and He gave Moses three signs. Exodus 4:2-9, "The Lord asked Moses, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod. And God said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it. And the Lord said to Moses, Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand: That they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you. And the Lord said furthermore, Put your hand into your bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, his hand was leprous as snow. And He said, Put your hand into your bosom again. And he did so; and when he took it out it was restored to be like his other flesh. In case they will not believe you nor mind the voice of the first sign, they will believe the voice of the second sign. However, should they not believe either of these two signs, neither listen to your voice, then take some water from the river, and pour it onto the dry land: the water you take out of the river shall become blood on the land".
Pharaoh's magicians Jannes and Jambres withstood God in Moses. They impersonated his first sign; then they conjured up frogs and lice but were not able to dispel them; neither could they create nor heal. As Moses delivered Israel from Egypt in the first exodus and Paul delivered the Church out of Israel in the second exodus, Brother Branham was sent to deliver the Bride out of the church in the third exodus, and God gave him three signs. As Moses had a sign in his right hand, God caused Brother Branham's left hand to react to the frequency of disease in a patient seeking Divine healing. His second sign was "discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart. . . as it was in the days of Lot" (Hebrews 4:12; Luke 17:28-30). His third sign was the revelation of the Seven Seals, which "finished the mystery of God," and brought the world to judgment. As the waters of the Nile, the source of natural Life, became the source of death when Pharaoh rejected God's Word by Moses, those who reject the revelation of the Seven Seals which brought Christ back to earth in WORD form have committed the unpardonable sin by refusing the source of eternal Life. This explains why much of today's preaching is to souls that are in imprisoned now.
Matthew 24:24-31, "There shall arise false Christs, (not false Jesus', but false anointed ministers) and false prophets, who shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (But the elect of God cannot be deceived on the revealed Word of God. "However, all who's names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world will worship Rome's Devil-incarnate pope" – Revelation 13:8). Remember, I have forewarned you. So if these false anointed ones say, 'He is in the desert,' don't bother to look. Or, 'He is hiding at a certain place,' do not believe them (because His second Coming is not His (Gk. 'erchomai') physical return but a (Gk. 'parousia' Coming). For the [parousia] Coming of the Son of man will be like the lightning that flashes from the East and shines to the West. And throughout the world, wheresoever the living Body Word (of the present Truth — Zechariah 14:7; Matthew 17:11; Revelation 10:1-7) is, there the eagles (those with anointed eyes) will be gathered together."
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days (in the time of the "squeeze" at the end of the Gentile dispensation) the sun [of God's Word] be will darkened, the moon (church) will not reflect the Son-Light, and the stars (non-elect ministers) will fall from heaven (as they become souls imprisoned in darkness their names are blotted from the Book of Life), and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken (as the heavenly tabernacle is cleansed and Lucifer and his demons cast down to earth — Revelation 12:7-13): then the sign of the Son of man shall appear (over Israel in the East as it appeared over Arizona in the West): and all the tribes of the earth will mourn (in the realization they have missed the first resurrection and must surrender their lives in martyrdom in order to preserve their names in the Book of Life and salvation), and they shall see the [sign of the] Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory (as we saw the sign of His Coming to us that appeared in the West on February 28, 1963). And He shall send His angels (or anoint two Hebrew prophets with the Spirit that empowered Moses and Elijah) with a great sound of Israel's Seventh Trumpet, and they shall gather together His 144,000 elect Israelites from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other".
As the people Moses was commissioned to deliver railed in unbelief against him, and Jannes and Jambres who claimed to be fellow seers and workers of miracles withstood him, denominational worshippers poured contempt upon Brother Branham and colleagues impersonated the hand of God in his vindicated ministry: "men of corrupt minds and counterfeit faith. But they will not go far, for their deceit will be known to all men, as was the sin of Jannes and Jambres".
Had Jannes and Jambres not withstood Moses by impersonating the hand of God, Pharaoh may have been persuaded to let His people go and preserved his empire from destruction. Likewise, had their antitype not withstood Brother Branham by impersonating the hand of God, many bound under the religious empire of Rome and her (once) Protestant image, and the natural "empire of the City of London," the so-called British Empire, Communist and every other country dominated by the Moneypower, may have been freed from Satan's oppression and preserved from the destruction about to overtake Earth.
Jannes means "he vexed," and Jambres means "foamy healer." The most prominent ministers to withstand the messenger and Message to the Laodicean Church Age, and the Word for this hour, are Billy Graham and Oral Roberts. Billy Graham has vexed or oppressed God's people by spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt in opposition to THUS SAITH THE LORD of His vindicated Prophet. Whereas one word of disbelief is the kingdom of Satan, Graham's ministry was anything but "the same yesterday, and today, and forever," swinging 180o from error while Christ was still a Mediator, to iniquity following the end of mediation and the revelation of the Seven Seals. Graham often appears as a well connected covert political operative. In his unauthorized biography, The Prince of War: Billy Graham's Crusade for a Wholly Christian Empire, Cecil Bothwell documents the unseen side of Graham's relationship with U.S. presidents as well as his opposition to Martin Luther King Jr.'s work. Brother Branham thought King was inspired by Judaeo-Communism and said his legacy will lead about a million of his people into a death trap.
Billy Graham's assimilation into Rome's world-church system began in 1944 under the influence of his friend, Bishop Fulton Sheen of New York and subsequent patrimony (flattery) of bishops and priests. Graham was the dedication speaker at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he said, "This is the greatest moment of my life." Later he appeared with Oral Roberts in a joint national television broadcast.
Brother Branham said, "Brother Oral Roberts: I remember when he had his first meeting, come over to my meeting. . . at Kansas City, little ragged tent setting across the other side. And he said, "Brother Branham, you think God would hear my prayer for the sick?"
I said, "He will hear anybody's prayer, Brother Roberts."
And I remember Tommy Osborn when he nailed hisself up that night when the demoniac run out on the platform to kill me (you've read the story of it), Portland Oregon. And then he come to my house, and he said, "Brother Branham, oh, do you think I have got a gift of healing?"
I said, "Brother Osborn, you are a promising young man." I said, "If this keeps on it'll be like any other revival. It'll come to pass that a fellow won't think he's got a ministry 'less he's got a healing service." I said, "Don't think about that." I said, "If God called you to preach the Gospel, He called you to pray for the sick." And I said, "Just stay right with it. See?"
Your pastors has just the same rights to pray for you as any evangelist on the field. And if your pastor's not there, your good God-saved neighbor can do the same, your husband, or your brother, your child, or whoever it is. "Confess your faults one for another; pray one for another that you may be healed." That's true. . .
So I never tried to get money. And those two brethren that I mentioned, two fine, loyal, sweet, God-saved men, is T. L. Osborn and O. L. Roberts. That's exactly truth, They are fine men. I know them both since their ministry begin and they're real fine brothers.
And I went to Brother Osborn's the other day, and over there when I had a meeting in Tulsa, and I looked how God had bless him. And he's a great missionary, does missionary work. And the money that you send to Brother Osborn is certainly used right. He is a fine God-saved man. And I went into his place, and he put his arms around me, commenced crying, showed me where all the places he had been. He said, "Brother Branham, that's part of your ministry." He said, "If you had not have went and done as the Lord . . . told you to do." said, "I am just one of your students," as it was. Think, a man of that caliber telling a little person like me that he was my student. That's takes a real sweet, humble spirit.
And then, when I was there, Brother Oral Roberts fell and hurt his leg. And I went into his lovely big home there, and I couldn't have been no better treated if I'd been an angel come from heaven when I went to pray for him. And he had a knee that had. . . Oh, it was in terrible condition. And while I was praying, the blood veins come down and made a big "v" on top of his knee; got right up and walked away.
So I went into his homes, and how beautiful, and nice, and a big home. I just wept. When I went outside and looked at his great big building there, how beautiful it was put together, everything in a triune block. And I seen that mirror there of the hands reaching down. And when I walked outside and looked, I never seen nothing anywhere in the world like it anywhere. And I thought, "O God, great Jehovah, how thankful I am. That shows the faith of one man that can really get a hold of God and do something like that. How I'm thankful."
Then Satan said to me, "He must not think very much of you. What if He come to your place and seen one little typewriter setting up there in the end of a trailer? What kind of an office would that be?"
I said, "Well, I'm doing the best I can. That's all." Have a hard time ever getting any letters answered. And I looked up and I thought, "My, I would sure hate for them brothers to come to my place and see my office." But then as I was standing there, something sweet happened. And I never forget it. Just as plain as I ever heard a voice in my life, He said, "But I am your Portion."
And I said, "Thank You, Lord. I'll gladly take that way 'cause I cannot have the mentality to operate a worldwide radio like Brother Roberts, and the thousands of souls that he reaches. But in my little humble way if You will just help me, and You be my Portion and I'll just follow you. And wherever You lead me then I'll do in the little way. 'Cause we got to have the little stones kinda fits in with the big stones" (It wasn't so from the Beginning, #62-0411).
God never had two major prophets work simultaneously on the same field. He used one man free from organization. Any more than one major prophet would create confusion. Oral Roberts and Tommy Osborn were both inspired by Brother Branham's gift of healing, but the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable and sovereignly given for a specific purpose, so when they spoke with him, Brother Branham did not encourage them to press into a healing ministry or gift to which they were not ordained, but to preach the Word of God, He would vindicate with signs following.
The Voice of the first two signs God gave Brother Branham, like those given to Jesus and Moses, was to attract attention of people to hear the Message of his third sign. If a prophet is inspired by God he will not quote Scripture already delivered by previous prophets, he will unfold further revelation of existing prophecy or words of particular importance to the hearer, such as warning a family to remove the furniture from a home that is about to be struck by lightning.
Oral Roberts was chief among a mass of evangelists who impersonated the gift of healing he did not possess. Of course, many were healed as God honoured their faith through Robert's ministry, but he should not have tried to pattern a ministry after the ministry God ordained to Brother Branham as he was unknowingly diverting the attention of people away from the Prophet of God's "third pull," which was his Message. Ultimately there were so many rival faith healers, each with immense financial overheads, some were led more by their accountant than by the Spirit of the Lord; and their ministries created confusion, distracting attention from the real prophet. To avoid confusion, Brother Branham would not conduct meetings in the same town as another evangelist, and did not hold meetings on Sunday but spoke in a local church.
Oral Roberts and many of his contemporaries became millionaires, flying the world in private jets and hobnobbing with the rich and famous sinners. Brother Branham said, "In almost thirty-one years I never took an offering in my life [to meet the cost of evangelism]. Never took one offering in my life, and I never intend to. So I used to work. I pastored the Baptist Tabernacle at Jeffersonville for seventeen years without one cent, worked as a state game warden, line work, whatever I could get to do, and paid my own way, and helped build the church. . . I'm not in for a lot of this big money program.
And what if I had to get up as much money as some of the brethren have to? What if I had to meet the expenses of Billy Graham? What if I had to meet the expenses of Oral Roberts? I could never come to a small place like this and have a meeting. But I like to keep myself where I have no expenses, and then wherever the Lord leads me I can go. See? I am under no obligations.
I just held a revival in a church that held twenty people. It was awful but we held it, and the Lord blessed and done a great thing. People stood in zero weather crying and snubbing and breath froze on their face. But they got saved, so what's the difference as long as they get saved? And I don't have any money, I guess my. . . If I'd check my account tonight and it. . . If I'm not in the red I can't be over about a hundred-and-fifty dollars.
So what would I do with that where perhaps Mr. Roberts has to meet around seven, or eight, ten thousand dollars a day. Oh, I wouldn't have that on me for nothing. My, oh, my, God knowed better than that. He knowed I ain't. . . I haven't got that much mental powers to take care of stuff like that. I just couldn't do it. I'm so thankful that God has men to do that (It wasn't so from the Beginning, #62-0411).
According to news reports, "Now, at age 89, the Tulsa, Oklahoma university that bears his name has called Roberts home from a California retirement — under the most excruciating of circumstances. On Wednesday, the head regent at Oral Roberts University announced that the school is an astonishing $52.5 million in debt. This news arrived just three weeks after the revelation of a wrongful termination suit filed against the school by three former professors who claim that they were fired after providing the school's Board of Regents with a report detailing moral and ethical lapses by Oral's son Richard, who had inherited the school's presidency from his father, and Richard's wife Lindsay. Among the allegations: the Roberts had remodeled their home eleven times in 14 years with university money; they bankrolled one of their daughters' $29,411 trip to the Bahamas with school funds; and (his daughter-in-law) Lindsay Roberts had spent the night in an O.R.U. guest-house with an underage male nine times".
"In spite of his literalistic faith in the Bible, it was quite true, as Jim Buskirk observed, that Oral was "not fundamentalist," but rather he spanned "the Bible in his theology. He thinks of it wholistically." Roberts was not rigid or legalistic; he did not, in fact, have a systematic theology. When Reader's Digest published a condensed version of the Bible in 1982, fundamentalists uniformly denounced the project, but Oral endorsed it. Whereas the Bible became a static, verbally inspired book to nineteenth-century evangelicals, to Pentecostals it was a living revelation to be perceived by experience" (David Edwin Harrell, Jr., Oral Roberts: An American Life, p. 441).
Oral Roberts was not a prophet of God, despite claims of outrageous visions, personal visitations and revelations over the years, all of which have proven to be without substance. Oral Roberts' achievements, exemplified in the Biblical Disneyland on campus, were tangible elements that one could touch, taste, smell, see and hear, whereas "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," and the thrust of his ministry was psychology. Harrell writes: "I offered to appear before the Senate Investigating Committee in Washington and present evidence that Oral Roberts was guilty of "payola" on his TV Healing program. Among other things, I had evidence to prove that a person had "performed" on the Roberts healing TV program, claiming that he was healed as a "cripple;" but it was all a fake and he was paid by them to "fake" the healing. The person who faked the healing offered to testify."
"Probably the most damaging religious attack on Oral ever published appeared in the Presbyterian Outlook in 1955. The article, written by Carroll R. Stegall, Jr., pastor of the Pryor Street Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, Georgia, was later republished in a widely circulated tract. It was Stegall's tract which preceded Oral to Australia and fanned opposition to him."
"Stegall's curiosity was piqued by the March 1952 issue of Healing Waters, which featured a cover picture of "three great medical doctors congratulating Oral Roberts." Stegall and Donald Grey Barnhouse, a noted conservative Presbyterian pastor in Philadelphia, addressed an inquiry to the American Medical Association that "brought the answer from their bureau of investigation that not one of the men mentioned. . . could be identified as doctors of medicine. . . One of the three men was found operating in Phoenix as a "naturopathic physician" [meaning he was not a licensed medical doctor]. No organization headed by "Dr. J.H. Miller, outstanding medical doctor and president of a medial society of over 20,000 physicians," was discovered." "Stegall later attended a number of campaigns, interviewed Oral, and did some follow-up interviews with those who had passed through the healing line. He concluded that Oral was not "as bad as some others in the miracle business," but found no basis to support his claims. "I have never seen a vestige of change. I challenge any honest investigator to follow my technique and see whether his findings do not agree with mine." Stegall concluded: "So far from glorifying God with this they (the healing evangelists) cause His name to be blasphemed by the world by their excesses. So far from curing, they often kill. Far from blessing, their arrival in a city is rather a curse, a misery, a racket, a destruction of faith in simple people" (ibid. p. 163-164).
James 5:14-16, "Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much".
When I visited Oral Roberts University in the mid-80s, his five star International Hotel-like sky-scraping hospital, appeared to be a vacant building— testimony to God's permissive will and a vindication of the prophecy of St. Paul, "the folly of their deceit will be manifest to all men, as was the sin of Jannes and Jambres". nl504.htm

Jannes and Jambres - Part I
Bible Believers' Newsletter #503
"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660
Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Your effectual, fervent prayer availed much in Friday's hearing in the Federal Court. We have been ordered to respond to a number of points by written submission and a further hearing is listed for February. Although the Church has been removed from the case, I am potentially still joined as a respondent and in the event an adverse decision is subsequently employed as "case law" everyone in a juridical system franchised by Rothschild's BAR stands to be intimidated. Thank you for your prayers, please remain vigilant.
A Spirit-filled Brother reading the Book of Joshua saw some marvelous shadows and types whose substance is now being replayed by God's people in the Spiritual realm. Joshua marshaled Israel to Jordan and his officers commanded them to keep their eyes on the Ark of the Covenant, a type of Christ, and maintain a distance of about 2,000 cubits that all may see the way by which they must go: "for you have not passed this way before" (Joshua 3:1-5). Joshua commanded the priests bearing the ark that they should stand still in Jordan when they came to the brink of the water. And said to the people, "By this you shall know the Living God is among you and will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, Hittites and all of your other enemies. And as the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the brim of the water (for Jordan overflows its banks throughout the time of harvest) the waters from upstream were cut off and the people passed over Jordan on dry ground" (Joshua 3:15-17).
Now is the end of wheat harvest for those that have followed the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord from Jordan in the East to Light in the evening time, which will presently return to Jordan (Zechariah 14:1-8; Matthew 24:27; Revelation 16:17-19). When they reached Jericho, the city was shut up because of the children of Israel and none went out or came in. The Enemy senses the advance of God's people who, having compassed the City for Seven Church Ages bear the Token since the revelation of the Seven Seals. Fearful, his people are fortified behind walls of unrighteous creeds, International and Talmudic law. Futility, considering God's righteous Law was a curse that brought condemnation and death as no man could keep it. The revelation of the Seven Seals "brought forth the Headstone with the shout of Grace, grace unto it" as Christ came back to earth in the perfect interpretation of God's Word (Zechariah 4:7; I Corinthians 13:10; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 10:1-7). This revelation baptized Christ's end-time Bride into the antitype of the holy convocation of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal Feast. We rest pending a blast from the ram's horn or Seventh Trumpet that will call the Bride to the Wedding Supper in the Air, and summons Israel to the Atonement of Zechariah 12- 4: the time of "Jacob's trouble" and Esau's damnation. In the antitype, when the Spirit and the Bride shout in harmony (Revelation 10:8-11; 22:17-19), those walls of man-made laws that have bound Israel 2,500 years will fall, 144,000 elect will recognize the Captain of the Lord's Host returning from the Wedding Supper, "And one shall ask Him, What are these wounds in Your hands? Then He shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of My friends. . . I was smitten and the sheep were scattered: now I am turning My hand upon these 144,000 little ones who, like Benjamin were born whilst their Brother was raising children to His Gentile Bride".
If you would walk "this way you have not passed before" you must have the testimony of Enoch, "that you have walked with God," and have Token on display. The cost of crossing Jordan where the Deep calls to the deep is death to self.
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.
Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony Grigor-Scott

Society of St. Pius X Catholic Bishop: 9/11 was an Inside Job
November 24, 2007 – Bishop Richard Williamson, seemingly the most outspoken and controversial bishop of the Society of St. Pius X, asserted in a recent talk that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were committed "to get the American public to accept the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq". . .
"Without 9/11, it would have been impossible to attack in Afghanistan or Iraq. The forces inside the United States government and driving the United States government absolutely wanted to attack and destroy Iraq. The destruction wrought upon Iraq is unspeakable. And now the same forces want to do the same thing to Iran. . . They may well be plotting another 9/11. . . Heat from the burning fuel of the planes that flew into the twin towers of the World Trade Center could not have melted the 47 steel columns in each tower, causing them to collapse, he claimed. And a commercial airliner could not have penetrated six of the ten walls that were breached by 'whatever hit the Pentagon'. . . "It was a missile that hit the Pentagon. It was a missile that could only have been fired by the American military."

US Military v Israel Firsters
November 30, 2007 – The Israeli regime and its Fifth Column in the US have been pressing for unilateral intervention against Iran, preferably military, ever since 2003. The Daily Alert, mouthpiece of the 52 biggest Jewish organizations (The Presidents of the Major American Jewish Organizations) has published scores of articles each week, characterizing the Europeans as 'foot draggers', 'weak on Iran', 'playing down' or 'failing' to take serious the 'existential threat to Israel'. (sic). . . As a result of Israeli and Zion-Con pressure on the White House, France, Germany and England have all supported the escalation of sanctions against Iran. . . the Zionist strategy of 'strangle the economy now and bomb later'.
The Zion-Cons' weakness is relative: Although they no longer can purge (or 'retire') or silence senior military officers opposed to their Mid East Wars for Israel, they are extremely effective in discrediting any and all impartial international bodies and reports which fail to support the Israeli line that Iran represents an 'existential threat' (sic) to its survival (code language for 'challenges or resists Israel's drive to dominate the region'). . . In other words, the Zion-Cons with their mediocre academic mouth-pieces can save the UN, the IAEA and El Baradei's time and money in site visits and delicate radiologic and satellite monitoring by handing over the Israeli Foreign Office's pre-packaged 'press' handouts or 'sexed-up intelligence reports'. . .
The American officers do not see the Iranians as a threat because they have engaged the Iranians in stopping the flow of arms and fighters to the Iraqi resistance; they recognize Iranian positive diplomatic overtures to all the Gulf States including Saudi Arabia. . . the US Central Command know they are in the Persian Gulf facing Iran because of the White House's provocative offensive strategy – and that Iran has not demonstrated anything but a defensive capability. Senior American officers view favorably Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's offer “to discuss with Arab nations a plan to enrich uranium outside the region in a neutral country such as Switzerland.” (Dow Jones News Service in Saudi Arabia, quoted in BBC News November 18, 2007). Not a single major television or print media in the US ran the Iranian president's offer – as would be predictable in our Zionized media. . .
Zion-Cons have neither countered military intelligence estimates with any credible counter-facts, nor even seriously considered the likely disastrous consequences affecting the US, Europe and Asia. . . It is an example of the Zion-Cons' supreme arrogance and sense of their own power that they feel they can plunge the US into a Third Asian war which will devastate the US economy and cause world-wide energy scarcity, and still secure their yearly 'tribute' of $3 Billion Dollars foreign aid for Israel as well as guaranteeing oil for Israel by diverting it from the needs of American consumers and industries. It is clear that in doing a cost-benefit analysis on a US attack on Iran, Israeli and ZPC operatives have approvingly figured that the costs are on the US side of the ledger and the benefits are for the Israelis. Were it known, American public opinion might disapprove.
The main difference is that the US does not have a comparable Washington Power Configuration in Tel Aviv to influence Israeli policy to match the state's Zionist Power Configuration which shapes and influences US Middle East policy. . . The question of 'who commands the Commander in Chief' goes to the entire core of our constitutional order, because it raises the deeper question of 'who defines the national interests' for which the military are fighting?

The Power of Israel in the United States
November 28, 2007 – Stephen Lendman reviews The Power of Israel in the United States, a work of epic writing and essential reading documenting the enormous influence of the pro-Israeli Lobby on US policy in the Middle East. It focuses like a laser to assure that policy conforms with Israel's long-term goal for regional hegemony. The Lobby's influence is broad and deep enough to include officials at the highest levels of government, the business community, academia, clergy (especially the dominant Christian fundamentalists/Christian Zionists) and mass media. Petras shows how together they're able to assure the full and unconditional US support for all elements of Israel's agenda going back decades even when that agenda harms our interests such as the unwinnable war in Iraq, any future one against Iran if it's undertaken, and the appalling and brutal subjugation and colonization of the Palestinian people that serves no US interest whatever. In spite of it, the Lobby is able to get the US to go along with Israel unconditionally with no serious opposition to it tolerated. . . Because of the Lobby's power, Petras reports, the US has unconditionally supported Israel's wars of aggression since 1967.
Today the situation in the Middle East is so dire, Petras reports a large majority of Europeans and a growing number of Americans believe Israel is the greatest of all threats to world peace and stability. Nonetheless, the Bush administration, in acquiescence to the Lobby, has "bludgeoned" its European partners to go along with its uncompromising support for the Jewish state despite all the obvious perils from it. In this country, open debate is stifled, public figures and academics daring to air one truthfully are pilloried, ridiculed, called anti-semitic and even threatened, and no serious dissent is ever tolerated in the corporate-run media or their funded and controlled so-called public radio or PBS parts of it. . .
Petras begins with a discussion of who fabricated the lies about Iraq's threat to our security and why. . . contrary to popular belief, this war happened largely due to the efforts of the Jewish Lobby representing the interests of Israel. . . With US help, Israel removed one threat to its plan for regional supremacy, but it still faces determined resistance from the Palestinians in spite of having crushed its democratically elected Hamas government. . .
"For Israel, this is part of its state policy of ethnic cleansing by slow-motion genocide and out-migration all leading to the destruction of the Palestinian identity. It wants to co-opt a corrupted PA leadership of its choice to act as Israel's enforcer and partner in the destruction of its own people. It's to fulfill the intent of what former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meier meant by her racist comment that "There are no Palestinians" and what Prime Minister David Ben Gurion earlier said after Israel brutally expelled the Palestinians from their homes and land in the 1948 war establishing the state of Israel: "We have come and we have stolen their country. . . We must do everything to insure they (the Palestinians) never do return. . . (and 10 years earlier had written his son) We will expel the Arabs and take their places. . . with the force at our disposal". . .
But it's not all smooth sailing as the unholy US-Israeli alliance faces a threat it can't ignore that could derail it. It's a growing broad-based worldwide anti-imperialist movement against these two partnered pariah states. It remains to be seen how far it will go, whether it can achieve critical mass in the US and in Israel, and if it can succeed in changing the direction of these two belligerents so far unstoppable and determined to go on unchecked by what passes for the civilized western world.

Impending Destruction of the US Economy
November 28, 2007 – Hubris and arrogance are too ensconced in Washington for policymakers to be aware of the economic policy trap in which they have placed the US economy. If the subprime mortgage meltdown is half as bad as predicted, low US interest rates will be required in order to contain the crisis. But if the dollar’s plight is half as bad as predicted, high US interest rates will be required if foreigners are to continue to hold dollars and to finance US budget and trade deficits.
Which will Washington sacrifice, the domestic financial system and over-extended homeowners or its ability to finance deficits? The answer seems obvious. Everything will be sacrificed in order to protect Washington’s ability to borrow abroad. Without the ability to borrow abroad, Washington cannot conduct its wars of aggression, and Americans cannot continue to consume $800 billion dollars more each year than the economy produces. . .
Superpower America is a ship of fools in denial of their plight. While offshoring kills American economic prospects, "free market economists" sing its praises. While war imposes enormous costs on a bankrupt country, neoconservatives call for more war, and Republicans and Democrats appropriate war funds which can only be obtained by borrowing abroad. . .

Scott Ritter: Bombs Away?
November 28, 2007 – Look beyond daily papers — from Seymour Hersh's reporting in The New Yorker to articles in The Nation — and the picture emerges of an administration that is determined to attack Iran. . . We take a look at items in the defense budget, the rapid conversion of heavy bombers to carry bunker-busting bombs on a specific time frame, the massive purchasing of oil to fill up the strategic oil reserve by April 2008. Everything points to April 2008 to being a month of some criticality. It also matches my analysis that the Bush administration will want to carry this out prior to the crazy political season of the summer of 2008. . .
Metro Times: Would that be having Russia or China coming in?
Scott Ritter: No, no, no. It would be something more like the destabilization of Pakistan to the point where a nuclear device gets in the hands of Islamic fundamentalists who are aligned with al-Qaeda and there's some sort of nuclear activity on the soil of the United States of America. . .

Comment: In 2008, Nisan 14 (Passover) can fall on March 21, the first opportunity for the fourteenth day of a month to occur after the equinox; "Good Friday" will fall on March 23. But the Jewish calendar sets Nisan 14 at April 19 because the spring months of 2008 fall within the Jewish year 5768, which is the eleventh year of their nineteen year calendar cycle and by Judaic definition a leap year of thirteen months must be added. This interpolation is not Biblical and forces the first month of the new year to begin one month later than it normally would. Their calendar leap year tradition fails to follow the Scriptures, which state that the Passover must be kept at the first opportunity on or after the spring equinox. In 2008 this error would fortuitously have Israel observing second Passover. Numbers 9:10-11, "If you or any of your posterity is unclean by reason of a dead body (Matthew 27:25; Luke 23:33), or be on a far journey, he shall keep the Passover to the Lord on the fourteenth day of the second month at even . . ."

Jannes and Jambres - Part I
II Timothy 3:5-9, "Avoid those who have a form of godliness but deny the power of His Word. For such people are those who worm their way into households and befriend silly, sin-burdened women impulsively swayed to new doctrines, forever following new teachers and never able to reach an understanding of the truth. As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth: men of corrupt minds and counterfeit faith. But they will not go far, for their deceit will be known to all men, as was the sin of Jannes and Jambres".
In Genesis 18 the Lord God visited Abraham and Sarah, veiled behind the flesh of a created Man and accompanied by two other messengers in created flesh. Abraham bowed Himself to the ground and worshipped the Lord as "Elohim." Discerning the thoughts of Abraham and Sarah's hearts He vindicated Himself as the Logos manifest (Hebrews 4:12), and remained with His elect, separated from the world and the things of the world, while His companions went on to Sodom where they preached repentance to the non-elect but delivered only Lot and his family before fire from heaven destroyed Sodom and the Serpent's seed cities on the plain. Turning back to the world where her heart was, Mrs. Lot perished, and her husband and their daughters fell into disgrace.
Seminal events of the Old Testament are shadows and types of future events that will take place in the New. This was a perfect shadow of what has transpired in our day, and was the last sign Jesus promised we Gentiles before the end of our Dispensation. Luke 17:28-30, "As it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. So shall it be when the Son of man is revealed." Yet denominational people blinded by unbelief are not looking for this Scripture to be fulfilled.
There can be no denying the world is in a Sodom condition; homosexual parades are government-sponsored, and in many apostate once Christian states it is a crime to denounce homosexuality. The image to the beast of Imperial Rome brought fire from heaven upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Revelation 13:13), and II Peter 3 prophesies the battle of Armageddon will cause fire from heaven to destroy all life. But before the consummation, God promised to reveal Himself to His elect veiled behind the flesh of a sinner saved by grace and vindicate His presence by discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart, while two messengers preach repentance to the non-elect church in Sodom — "as it was in the days of Lot".
Seeking signs without faith, Israel rejected the Elijah of Isaiah 40 and Malachi 3, and following denominational theologians, looked for a military Messiah who would destroy Rome and restore the kingdom to Israel. This will be His third Coming when He steps out on the ashes of the wicked in company with the saints of all ages for one thousand years of peace. Today's wicked and adulterous church seeks after a physical sign it can see, hear or touch without faith. Huge revivals, healing or speaking with tongues! Churchgoers have a form of godliness without the Spirit. "They have eyes and see not, ears and hear not," for the three promised messengers have come.
God veiled Himself behind the prophet William Branham and discerned the thoughts and intents of the heart, restored sight to the blind, hearing and speech to the deaf mutes, healed the crippled and infirm, cast out demons and raised the dead, revealing Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Brother Branham's Message "finished the mystery of God" by revealing the Seven Seals which brought Christ back to earth in Word form (I Corinthians 13:10). And as it was in the days of Lot, while Brother Branham ministered to the non-denominational and interdenominational people, Billy Graham ministered to the fundamentalists, and Oral Roberts ministered to the Pentecostal and Charismatic groups in Sodom.
Christians are they whose lives become written epistles of the revealed Word for their hour. We are the present Truth of God's Word manifest in flesh (II Corinthians 3:2; I John 1:7; II Peter 1:12). From the many who have been called, we like Abraham represent the few who are chosen as the elect of God and have separated from the world.
Jannes means "he vexed." I believe it can be shown that Billy Graham has vexed or oppressed the people and grieved God with a ministry that is anything but "the same yesterday, and today, and forever," having swung 180 degrees from error into iniquity. Billy Graham has preached in person to more people around the world than anyone who has ever lived. He is loved by the world and was seventh on Gallup Poll's list of admired people for the 20th century. Like the Judaising Herbert W. Armstrong he has hobnobbed with the rich and famous, been spiritual adviser to many U.S. presidents and never misses a photo-op with president or potentate. His first crusades were sponsored by powerful Jewish banker, Illuminatus Bernard Baruch, who was associated with Rothschild and the infamous Treaty of Versailles. Together with David Lilienthal he co-authored a plan the US government put to Stalin in 1946 for totalitarian one World Government.
Billy Graham made his "profession of salvation" under the ministry of evangelist Dr. Mordachai Fowler Ham, a convert of Billy Sunday who like ministers Paul Rader and Charles E. Fuller, was associated with British Israel theory, a Jewish hoax popular early last century. He attended Bob Jones College, a fundamental interdenominational school but ultimately alienated himself from Bob Jones Sr. who reproved his "many compromises," and he enrolled in Wheaton College, another fundamental school that has drifted into the stream of the New Evangelical Movement. Here he served on the Board of Sword of the Lord Ministries and Publications. Wheaton was also the headquarters of the National Association of Evangelicals and the newly-organized Youth for Christ, which Graham joined after graduating in 1945, and spoke across America and in Europe. At that time he was known as a fundamentalist and in 1947 he was chosen by Dr. W. B. Riley to succeed him as president of Northwestern Schools in Minneapolis.
In 1948 he declared, "The three gravest menaces faced by orthodox Christianity are Communism, Roman Catholicism, and Mohammedanism." The World Council of Churches (WCC) was scheduled to meet in Amsterdam that year and Graham was going as an unofficial observer. He was asked, "Billy, what do you expect the World Council to do in August?" He said, "I believe they are going to nominate the Antichrist." Later Graham cultivated other friends and became a regular speaker at WCC meetings.
"In 1949 [two Roman Catholic Knights of Malta] William Randolph Hearst, head of a large publishing empire, and Henry Luce, chief of another, Time, Inc., were both worried about Communism and the growth of liberalism in the United States. . . Billy Graham, an obscure evangelist [opened his poorly attended Crusade for Christ tent meetings in Los Angeles. . . in the same week Russia tested its first atomic bomb. This fresh menace gave Graham his text: "Communism is inspired and directed by the Devil himself, who has declared war against Almighty God. Did you know that the Communists are more rampant in Los Angeles than any other city in America?"]. Hearst and Luce interviewed the obscure preacher and decided he was worthy of their support. Billy Graham became an almost instantaneous national and, later, international figure preaching anti-Communism. In late 1949, Hearst sent a telegram to all Hearst editors: "Puff Graham." The editors did — in Hearst newspapers, magazines, movies, and newsreels. Within two months Graham was preaching to crowds of 350,000" (Ben Bagdikian, The Media Monopoly, p. 39 ff). Illuminus Rockefeller was supportive of Graham's New York Crusade, and his Chase-Manhattan Bank helped him out.
Billy Graham understood that a successful mass ministry would require professional salesmanship and he carefully cultivated contacts in the major media with an eye to marketing his product. He does not however, have an understanding of the faith of Jesus Christ. "Notwithstanding his professed calling, it is apparent that Graham worked the corridors of Congress as well as the private rooms of the White House, sometimes overtly, sometimes quietly, in secret letters and private phone calls. And, quite contrary to Time's assertion, it seems that Graham did more to abet segregation than to end it, actively opposing Martin Luther King Jr.'s use of civil disobedience while endorsing aggressive police tactics and punitive laws."
"Like many another political figure, Graham has sealed most of the personal documents connected to his life and work until after—in some cases many years after—his death. Nor did he consent to be interviewed for this work. But the published and unpublished documentary record speaks volumes. It reveals a Billy Graham who has been an unabashed nationalist, capitalist, militarist and advocate for American empire. The picture that emerges is decidedly not that of a disinterested man of the cloth. Rather, Graham often appears as a well connected covert political operative. To the extent that this seems surprising, it stems from the public's wilful naiveté concerning a self-professed holy man coupled with intentionally biased reporting from the major media at the behest of ideologues including, most prominently, William Randolph Hearst and Henry Luce" (Cecil Bothwell, The Prince of War: Billy Graham's Crusade for a Wholly Christian Empire – 2007).
On November 21, 1967, he received an honorary degree from Belmont Abbey College, a North Carolina Catholic school where he said, "I know of no greater honor" than the receiving of this degree. "The gospel that built this school and the gospel that brings me here tonight is still the way to salvation." Oh, come on! In 1972 Dr. Graham was selected to receive the "Franciscan International Award for True Ecumenism." So much for fundamentalism.
In 1957 he said, "Anyone who makes a decision at our meetings is referred to a local clergyman, Protestant, Catholic, or Jewish." In 1963 he had a Roman Catholic bishop stand beside him and bless the "converts" as they came forward in Sao Paulo, Brazil. God is a separator. In Amos 3:3 He said, "How can two walk together except they be agreed on the Word"? A follow up of over 1,300 Catholics who came forward in a San Francisco Crusade reported, "practically all remained Catholic; they continued to pray to Mary, went to Mass and confessed to the priest" (Sword of the Lord, July 2, 1964). "The Catholic Voice" of Oakland said of the Billy Graham's "converts," "If he is a Catholic, he is referred to a Catholic church" (1971). The Superior of the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome says: "The Catholic will hear no slighting of his Church's teaching authority, not of papal. . . prerogatives, no word against mass or sacraments or Catholic practices. The Catholic. . . will hear little if anything he cannot agree with" (1972). The press was told prior to his Paris Crusade that converts "in the Catholic faith requesting reaffirmation would be turned over to the Catholic Church".
Had Jesus compromised in this way with the false religion of His day He would have been crowned and not crucified. Had Paul done likewise, he would have been exalted rather than stoned. Too many preachers in the circle of this Message know on which side their bread is buttered and will not to offend the Devil by declaring "all the counsel of God," which is how they get ahead in the world.
When Graham visited Moscow before the collapse of the Soviet Union he fellowshipped exclusively with the heads of the official state churches, later revealed to be KGB agents. Overlooking the plight of the unregistered underground churches he said, "there was no religious persecution of Christians under Communism" (Christianity Today, May 18, 1992, p.55). In an interview with "Der Spiegel," Graham said, "For years I have not spoken about . . . [Judaeo-Communism] I cannot go round the world and say who is right and who is not right." II Timothy 4:2-5, "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry." II John 10-11, "If any come to you who bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that bids him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds." Titus 3:10, "A man who is a heretic after the first and second admonition reject".
Billy Graham was recognized by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith when it awarded him its Torch of Liberty Plaque in 1969. B'nai B'rith is an anti-Christian Masonic Lodge, one of Rothschild's intelligence-gathering agencies equal in rank with Grand Orient Freemasonry in the lower orders on the Illuminati pyramid and just above Judaeo-Communism. B'nai B'rith is the oldest and largest Jewish organization with members in 56 countries and the only Jewish organization with a full-time presence at the United Nations.

Strober wrote that after a February 1973 resolution by the National Council of Churches (NCC) at Pittsburgh failed to declare against converting Jews, Billy Graham released a statement that God had a special place for Jews and rejected "coercive evangelistic efforts" (American Jews: Community in Crisis, p. 110). Jewish Pope John Paul II made a similar announcement thirty years later. Privately, Graham has assured Jewish leaders he is against converting Jews to Christianity. Strober also informs his readers "that many Christian organizations that are "Jewish Missions" take their marching orders from Billy Graham. This confirms numerous reports. . ." (ibid. p. 111). In effect Strober is saying don't worry, Graham is with us, and he controls most of the Christian organizations that are supposedly missions to evangelize us. Messianic Jewish groups are strongly pro-Billy Graham. Some of these groups have grown then gone back into Judaism, the reason being that those who have come forward at Crusades are being referred to Reformed Jewish synagogues.
Rabbi Martin Siegel: "I am devoting my lecture in this seminar to a discussion of the possibility that we are now entering a Jewish century, a time when the spirit of the community, the non-idealogical blend of the emotional and rational and the resistance to categories and forms will emerge through the forces of anti-nationalism to provide us with a new kind of society. I call this process the Judaization of Christianity because Christianity will be the vehicle through which this society becomes Jewish" (New York Magazine, January 18, 1972, p. 32).
Apostates and carnal religious leaders have been so enthusiastic in their support for Billy Graham because he was pumping warm blood into the dead Roman Catholic ecumenical movement and helping to build the coming one world anti-Christ church. When the ecumenical liberals hit a snag in bringing about an organic union of the denominations, they saw in Billy Graham an opportunity to break down the stubborn bars of separation through the medium of evangelism. And the Roman Catholic charismatic movement, an impersonation of the Laodicean Church Age that ended in 1963, is being used to the same end. More than any one man, Billy Graham has been used to break down the barriers of God's unchanging Word to pave the way for Lucifer's ecumenical One World Church prophesied in Revelation 13, a union of men by organization, not the invisible union of God and man by faith.
Billy Graham called Pope John Paul II "the world's greatest moral leader" and for years Catholics who came forward at his crusades were directed back to their local Catholic church (The Saturday Evening Post, February, 1980). The 'hidden hand' is employing ecumenism to entice Rome's harlot daughters back to mother and into harmony with Judaism which gave her birth at the First Nicea Council. Rome and Esau must reach the accommodation foretold in Daniel 9:27 and Revelation 17:12-18 in order to refinance the world monetary system. Billy Graham's consistently compromised Gospel is crafting this psychological symbiosis contrary to the prayer of our Lord "that we might be one in the faith" (John 17:21-26; Acts 2:1; I Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:5, 13; Jude 3). His wife has remained a member of a Presbyterian Church associated with the apostate NCC and all but one of his children were sprinkled, so his Baptist influence was not felt at home. Since the shallowness of his message does not recognize the present Truth it cannot regenerate souls and is a psychological marketing scheme to deliver a quick sale by conscience, affection, memory, reasoning and imagination — not the deep, soul-changing revelation of desperation that drives one to "prove all things, and hold fast that which is good."
Brother Branham attended a prayer breakfast addressed by Billy Graham, "a wonderful man, a great servant of Christ. And he said, "Paul went into a city and won one convert. Next year when he came back, that convert had won thirty. I go into a city and have twenty thousand converts, come back a year later and can't find twenty. What's happened?"
They're converts to denominationalism; that's all. . . See, you plant denominational seed, that's what you get. "Come now brother, join the church; put your name on the book." That's all they know. The people nowadays, in these great revivals become worked up into emotion, come up to the altar and say, "I accept Christ as my personal Saviour," and go back, and never go deep enough with God to actually be born-again. It's an intellectual conception of Christ that will never work".
Billy Graham has been hailed as the world's preacher. However Jesus said, "I pray not for the world, but for those whom You have given Me [out of the world]. . . and also for those who will believe on Me through their word. . . I have given them Your Word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world" (John 17:9, 20, 14). Like the Pope, the Dalai Lama and the late Herbert W. Armstrong, Billy Graham was always identified with, loved and fêted by the worlds most powerful leaders and celebrities.
Jesus said, "Woe to you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets" (Luke 6:26). "Marvel not my brethren, if the world hate you. . ." (I John 3:13). "If you were of the world, the world would love its own" (John 15:19). "Yea, and all who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" (II Timothy 3:12). Contrast Billy Graham with the Old Testament prophets who were persecuted and killed by the sons of Cain (Matthew 23:33-35), Jesus Messiah Himself, Peter, Paul and the disciples who, with the exception of John, were brutally martyred. Consider Martin Luther, and John and Charles Wesley turned out by the church after they were born-again, or Brother Branham who was rejected by the denominations.
The explanation for Graham's contradictory conduct might be looked for in Frankism. His family is said to be related to the infamous Jacob Frank (Leibowicz – 1726-1791), who claimed to be a reincarnation of the false messiah Sabbatai Zevi and has been regarded as the most frightening phenomenon in Jewish history. His Luciferian cult divided Judaism and was the influence that inspired Sigmund Freud's sexually-obsessed theses. Frank was one of those refractory Jews who worshipped devils and asserted that the creator God was not the same as the one who had revealed himself to Israel (C. M. Ekbohrn, 100,000 Foreign Words, 1936, p. 1173). He believed God was evil and proclaimed himself as the true Messiah. He vowed not to tell the truth, rejected every moral law, and declared that the only way to a new society was through the total destruction of the present civilization—Ordo Ob Kao—order out of chaos. "Five things did Canaan charge his sons: love one another, love robbery, love lewdness, hate your masters, and do not speak the truth" (Talmud, Peshachim 113b). Murder, rape, incest and the drinking of blood were perfectly acceptable actions and necessary rituals (Jakob Frank, The Words of the Lord).
Frank followed the dreaded Sabbatai Zevi's example of "changing religion" for the sake of the cause, when he became a "Catholic" he publicly burnt the Talmud, declaring that he recognized only the Zohar, which, he alleged, admitted the doctrine of the Trinity. Thus the Zoharists "claimed that they regarded the Messiah-Deliverer as one of the three divinities, but failed to state that by the Messiah they meant Shabbethai Zebi" (Jewish Encyclopaedia, "Jacob Frank"). In accordance with Genesis 4:14, Frank encouraged his followers to convert to another religion and hide behind that religion to practice their Satanism, working under a another name and in a different occupation. Whereas the Lord judges our motive and our objective, to Frankists the ends justify the means. Karl Marx's father had come into contact with Frankism and instructed his children in this ideology. His family's conversion to Christianity was just a social maneuver. Marx was delighted with the idea of humanity's moral ruination. In his poetry, he dreamed of a pact with Satan and called humanity "the apes of the cold god." He was especially fascinated by violence, and later stressed that one must fight violence with violence. (See The Contemporary Faces of Satan by Ratibor-Ray M. Jurjevich on the subject of Frankism).
The goal of the Frankists was to work in secret to establish Jewish world supremacy (Gershom Scholem, Cabbala, (1974), Sabbatai Zevi (1973), and The Messianic Idea in Judaism – 1971). "Mayer Amschel Rothschild convinced Adam Weishaupt to wholly accept the Frankist Cabbalist doctrine and afterwards financed the Illuminati. Rothschild had given Weishaupt the task of re-establishing the old Alumbrado movement for the Cabbalist Jews. Theoretical Cabbala embraces only secret teachings about God and nature. But practical Cabbala (such as Frankism) attempts to affect earthly matters. It involves the use of amulets and magic numbers as well as the conjuring of evil spirits. Both the Talmud and Midrash contain Cabbalist information" (Ancient Oriental and Jewish Secret Doctrines, (1805); Rabbi Marvin S. Antelman, To Eliminate the Opiate (1974); Juri Lina, Under the Sign of the Scorpion, p. 21-22, 54).
For years many Christians have been concerned over Graham's influence, but since the media including so-called Christian media is controlled by the anti-Christs and the world view of most people is programmed by Hollywood and the perfidious press, not the revealed Word of God, their criticism has been mute. "Don't you realize that friendship with the world is enmity toward God? Therefore, he who desires to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God" (James 4:4).
The Southern Baptist Union has compromised truth over the issue of Freemasonry, and in his book The Deadly Deception (pp. 104-105, 109), Jim Shaw told at how Graham was present at his initiation ceremony into the 33rd Degree (although Huffington House required him to remove Graham's name before publication). Ministers Robert Schuller, Oral Roberts and Norman Vincent Peale are also 33rd Degree Masons. Perhaps we can see why Graham's worthy contemporaries withdrew from his ministry almost as quickly as he rose to celebrity status.
Graham doesn't like to become involved in emotional or controversial issues, especially abortion, and feels the environment is the great issue of the day. He called tabloid psychic and astrologer Jean Dixon a "woman of God" and fully endorses the NCC and WCC and their one world religion agenda; they in turn fully endorse Billy Graham. Graham has done more than any one person to unite all the religions under the Great Harlot.
Pat Schenck, president of the National Clergy Council wrote, "After being an admirer of Billy Graham for over 30 years, I was shocked when at a New York Crusade Bill and Hillary Clinton were brought out on stage, and after being praised by Graham, Bill Clinton was allowed to take the microphone for a few minutes and praise Graham. Graham then addressed the audience, I told president Clinton that when he left office he should become an evangelist, because he has all the right gifts for it, and he should leave his wife to run the country" (Why I walked out on Billy Graham, Michnews.com, June 30, 2005).
The next day Hillary marched in the Gay Pride parade. Hillary Clinton has revealed in Time Magazine (August 9, 2007), that Graham had told her that he really understood what she was doing and supported her. Graham stated that he thought Hillary had a warm and spiritual side to her. This is the woman who helped to cover up the massacre at Waco Texas, the murders at Ruby Ridge, has worked with known Communists, would dismantle the family and true Christianity in America, and was involved in many mysterious deaths of previous associates and business partners.
In 1992, on his national radio program, Embrace America 2000, right after George I's infamous "New World Order" speech, Billy Graham told listeners we need to embrace what every Bible believer since Christ's temptation in the wilderness knows will be Lucifer's New World Order (Matthew 4:8-9).
Billy Graham has told many Jewish leaders that because they are "special people of God," they don't need to come to Christ. His daughters have lived in Israel at one time or another and one of his sons reportedly fought for Israel during the Six-Day War.
In the crusades we see the crowds coming forward, but there is much we are not told. Only 2% of those people are not nominal Christians. Of these, 80% disappear shortly thereafter because they have the impression that all that is really required of them is a "decision for Christ." True discipleship doesn't really enter the picture and they are referred to Catholic or denominational, even New Age churches, and Jewish synagogues. Most "decisions" at Crusades are for trivial matters such as quitting smoking. A writer for the Williamette Weekly (October 1, 1992) searched for an entire week at a Billy Graham crusade for an "unsaved" person, but did not find any one who did not feel they were already a Christian.
The foolish virgin say "amen" to everything Brother Branham said but there is always a revelation behind the "letter" of his Message, which we will discover only as we "prove all things" to discover and hold fast to what he meant.
"What shall we say to these things? for we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknow He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers and Sisters. Moreover whom He did predestinate He also called: and whom He called He also justified: and whom He justified, He has already glorified. If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:28-31). nl503.htm

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Your effectual, fervent prayer availed much in Friday's hearing in the Federal Court. We have been ordered to respond to a number of points by written submission and a further hearing is listed for February. Although the Church has been removed from the case, I am potentially still joined as a respondent and in the event an adverse decision is subsequently employed as "case law" everyone in a juridical system franchised by Rothschild's BAR stands to be intimidated. Thank you for your prayers, please remain vigilant.
A Spirit-filled Brother reading the Book of Joshua saw some marvelous shadows and types whose substance is now being replayed by God's people in the Spiritual realm. Joshua marshaled Israel to Jordan and his officers commanded them to keep their eyes on the Ark of the Covenant, a type of Christ, and maintain a distance of about 2,000 cubits that all may see the way by which they must go: "for you have not passed this way before" (Joshua 3:1-5). Joshua commanded the priests bearing the ark that they should stand still in Jordan when they came to the brink of the water. And said to the people, "By this you shall know the Living God is among you and will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, Hittites and all of your other enemies. And as the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the brim of the water (for Jordan overflows its banks throughout the time of harvest) the waters from upstream were cut off and the people passed over Jordan on dry ground" (Joshua 3:15-17).
Now is the end of wheat harvest for those that have followed the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord from Jordan in the East to Light in the evening time, which will presently return to Jordan (Zechariah 14:1-8; Matthew 24:27; Revelation 16:17-19). When they reached Jericho, the city was shut up because of the children of Israel and none went out or came in. The Enemy senses the advance of God's people who, having compassed the City for Seven Church Ages bear the Token since the revelation of the Seven Seals. Fearful, his people are fortified behind walls of unrighteous creeds, International and Talmudic law. Futility, considering God's righteous Law was a curse that brought condemnation and death as no man could keep it. The revelation of the Seven Seals "brought forth the Headstone with the shout of Grace, grace unto it" as Christ came back to earth in the perfect interpretation of God's Word (Zechariah 4:7; I Corinthians 13:10; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 10:1-7). This revelation baptized Christ's end-time Bride into the antitype of the holy convocation of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal Feast. We rest pending a blast from the ram's horn or Seventh Trumpet that will call the Bride to the Wedding Supper in the Air, and summons Israel to the Atonement of Zechariah 12- 4: the time of "Jacob's trouble" and Esau's damnation. In the antitype, when the Spirit and the Bride shout in harmony (Revelation 10:8-11; 22:17-19), those walls of man-made laws that have bound Israel 2,500 years will fall, 144,000 elect will recognize the Captain of the Lord's Host returning from the Wedding Supper, "And one shall ask Him, What are these wounds in Your hands? Then He shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of My friends. . . I was smitten and the sheep were scattered: now I am turning My hand upon these 144,000 little ones who, like Benjamin were born whilst their Brother was raising children to His Gentile Bride".
If you would walk "this way you have not passed before" you must have the testimony of Enoch, "that you have walked with God," and have Token on display. The cost of crossing Jordan where the Deep calls to the deep is death to self.
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

Society of St. Pius X Catholic Bishop: 9/11 was an Inside Job
November 24, 2007 – Bishop Richard Williamson, seemingly the most outspoken and controversial bishop of the Society of St. Pius X, asserted in a recent talk that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were committed "to get the American public to accept the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq". . .
"Without 9/11, it would have been impossible to attack in Afghanistan or Iraq. The forces inside the United States government and driving the United States government absolutely wanted to attack and destroy Iraq. The destruction wrought upon Iraq is unspeakable. And now the same forces want to do the same thing to Iran. . . They may well be plotting another 9/11. . . Heat from the burning fuel of the planes that flew into the twin towers of the World Trade Center could not have melted the 47 steel columns in each tower, causing them to collapse, he claimed. And a commercial airliner could not have penetrated six of the ten walls that were breached by 'whatever hit the Pentagon'. . . "It was a missile that hit the Pentagon. It was a missile that could only have been fired by the American military."

US Military v Israel Firsters
November 30, 2007 – The Israeli regime and its Fifth Column in the US have been pressing for unilateral intervention against Iran, preferably military, ever since 2003. The Daily Alert, mouthpiece of the 52 biggest Jewish organizations (The Presidents of the Major American Jewish Organizations) has published scores of articles each week, characterizing the Europeans as 'foot draggers', 'weak on Iran', 'playing down' or 'failing' to take serious the 'existential threat to Israel'. (sic). . . As a result of Israeli and Zion-Con pressure on the White House, France, Germany and England have all supported the escalation of sanctions against Iran. . . the Zionist strategy of 'strangle the economy now and bomb later'.
The Zion-Cons' weakness is relative: Although they no longer can purge (or 'retire') or silence senior military officers opposed to their Mid East Wars for Israel, they are extremely effective in discrediting any and all impartial international bodies and reports which fail to support the Israeli line that Iran represents an 'existential threat' (sic) to its survival (code language for 'challenges or resists Israel's drive to dominate the region'). . . In other words, the Zion-Cons with their mediocre academic mouth-pieces can save the UN, the IAEA and El Baradei's time and money in site visits and delicate radiologic and satellite monitoring by handing over the Israeli Foreign Office's pre-packaged 'press' handouts or 'sexed-up intelligence reports'. . .
The American officers do not see the Iranians as a threat because they have engaged the Iranians in stopping the flow of arms and fighters to the Iraqi resistance; they recognize Iranian positive diplomatic overtures to all the Gulf States including Saudi Arabia. . . the US Central Command know they are in the Persian Gulf facing Iran because of the White House's provocative offensive strategy – and that Iran has not demonstrated anything but a defensive capability. Senior American officers view favorably Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's offer “to discuss with Arab nations a plan to enrich uranium outside the region in a neutral country such as Switzerland.” (Dow Jones News Service in Saudi Arabia, quoted in BBC News November 18, 2007). Not a single major television or print media in the US ran the Iranian president's offer – as would be predictable in our Zionized media. . .
Zion-Cons have neither countered military intelligence estimates with any credible counter-facts, nor even seriously considered the likely disastrous consequences affecting the US, Europe and Asia. . . It is an example of the Zion-Cons' supreme arrogance and sense of their own power that they feel they can plunge the US into a Third Asian war which will devastate the US economy and cause world-wide energy scarcity, and still secure their yearly 'tribute' of $3 Billion Dollars foreign aid for Israel as well as guaranteeing oil for Israel by diverting it from the needs of American consumers and industries. It is clear that in doing a cost-benefit analysis on a US attack on Iran, Israeli and ZPC operatives have approvingly figured that the costs are on the US side of the ledger and the benefits are for the Israelis. Were it known, American public opinion might disapprove.
The main difference is that the US does not have a comparable Washington Power Configuration in Tel Aviv to influence Israeli policy to match the state's Zionist Power Configuration which shapes and influences US Middle East policy. . . The question of 'who commands the Commander in Chief' goes to the entire core of our constitutional order, because it raises the deeper question of 'who defines the national interests' for which the military are fighting?

The Power of Israel in the United States
November 28, 2007 – Stephen Lendman reviews The Power of Israel in the United States, a work of epic writing and essential reading documenting the enormous influence of the pro-Israeli Lobby on US policy in the Middle East. It focuses like a laser to assure that policy conforms with Israel's long-term goal for regional hegemony. The Lobby's influence is broad and deep enough to include officials at the highest levels of government, the business community, academia, clergy (especially the dominant Christian fundamentalists/Christian Zionists) and mass media. Petras shows how together they're able to assure the full and unconditional US support for all elements of Israel's agenda going back decades even when that agenda harms our interests such as the unwinnable war in Iraq, any future one against Iran if it's undertaken, and the appalling and brutal subjugation and colonization of the Palestinian people that serves no US interest whatever. In spite of it, the Lobby is able to get the US to go along with Israel unconditionally with no serious opposition to it tolerated. . . Because of the Lobby's power, Petras reports, the US has unconditionally supported Israel's wars of aggression since 1967.
Today the situation in the Middle East is so dire, Petras reports a large majority of Europeans and a growing number of Americans believe Israel is the greatest of all threats to world peace and stability. Nonetheless, the Bush administration, in acquiescence to the Lobby, has "bludgeoned" its European partners to go along with its uncompromising support for the Jewish state despite all the obvious perils from it. In this country, open debate is stifled, public figures and academics daring to air one truthfully are pilloried, ridiculed, called anti-semitic and even threatened, and no serious dissent is ever tolerated in the corporate-run media or their funded and controlled so-called public radio or PBS parts of it. . .
Petras begins with a discussion of who fabricated the lies about Iraq's threat to our security and why. . . contrary to popular belief, this war happened largely due to the efforts of the Jewish Lobby representing the interests of Israel. . . With US help, Israel removed one threat to its plan for regional supremacy, but it still faces determined resistance from the Palestinians in spite of having crushed its democratically elected Hamas government. . .
"For Israel, this is part of its state policy of ethnic cleansing by slow-motion genocide and out-migration all leading to the destruction of the Palestinian identity. It wants to co-opt a corrupted PA leadership of its choice to act as Israel's enforcer and partner in the destruction of its own people. It's to fulfill the intent of what former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meier meant by her racist comment that "There are no Palestinians" and what Prime Minister David Ben Gurion earlier said after Israel brutally expelled the Palestinians from their homes and land in the 1948 war establishing the state of Israel: "We have come and we have stolen their country. . . We must do everything to insure they (the Palestinians) never do return. . . (and 10 years earlier had written his son) We will expel the Arabs and take their places. . . with the force at our disposal". . .
But it's not all smooth sailing as the unholy US-Israeli alliance faces a threat it can't ignore that could derail it. It's a growing broad-based worldwide anti-imperialist movement against these two partnered pariah states. It remains to be seen how far it will go, whether it can achieve critical mass in the US and in Israel, and if it can succeed in changing the direction of these two belligerents so far unstoppable and determined to go on unchecked by what passes for the civilized western world.

Impending Destruction of the US Economy
November 28, 2007 – Hubris and arrogance are too ensconced in Washington for policymakers to be aware of the economic policy trap in which they have placed the US economy. If the subprime mortgage meltdown is half as bad as predicted, low US interest rates will be required in order to contain the crisis. But if the dollar’s plight is half as bad as predicted, high US interest rates will be required if foreigners are to continue to hold dollars and to finance US budget and trade deficits.
Which will Washington sacrifice, the domestic financial system and over-extended homeowners or its ability to finance deficits? The answer seems obvious. Everything will be sacrificed in order to protect Washington’s ability to borrow abroad. Without the ability to borrow abroad, Washington cannot conduct its wars of aggression, and Americans cannot continue to consume $800 billion dollars more each year than the economy produces. . .
Superpower America is a ship of fools in denial of their plight. While offshoring kills American economic prospects, "free market economists" sing its praises. While war imposes enormous costs on a bankrupt country, neoconservatives call for more war, and Republicans and Democrats appropriate war funds which can only be obtained by borrowing abroad. . .

Scott Ritter: Bombs Away?
November 28, 2007 – Look beyond daily papers — from Seymour Hersh's reporting in The New Yorker to articles in The Nation — and the picture emerges of an administration that is determined to attack Iran. . . We take a look at items in the defense budget, the rapid conversion of heavy bombers to carry bunker-busting bombs on a specific time frame, the massive purchasing of oil to fill up the strategic oil reserve by April 2008. Everything points to April 2008 to being a month of some criticality. It also matches my analysis that the Bush administration will want to carry this out prior to the crazy political season of the summer of 2008. . .
Metro Times: Would that be having Russia or China coming in?
Scott Ritter: No, no, no. It would be something more like the destabilization of Pakistan to the point where a nuclear device gets in the hands of Islamic fundamentalists who are aligned with al-Qaeda and there's some sort of nuclear activity on the soil of the United States of America. . .

Comment: In 2008, Nisan 14 (Passover) can fall on March 21, the first opportunity for the fourteenth day of a month to occur after the equinox; "Good Friday" will fall on March 23. But the Jewish calendar sets Nisan 14 at April 19 because the spring months of 2008 fall within the Jewish year 5768, which is the eleventh year of their nineteen year calendar cycle and by Judaic definition a leap year of thirteen months must be added. This interpolation is not Biblical and forces the first month of the new year to begin one month later than it normally would. Their calendar leap year tradition fails to follow the Scriptures, which state that the Passover must be kept at the first opportunity on or after the spring equinox. In 2008 this error would fortuitously have Israel observing second Passover. Numbers 9:10-11, "If you or any of your posterity is unclean by reason of a dead body (Matthew 27:25; Luke 23:33), or be on a far journey, he shall keep the Passover to the Lord on the fourteenth day of the second month at even . . ."

Jannes and Jambres - Part I
II Timothy 3:5-9, "Avoid those who have a form of godliness but deny the power of His Word. For such people are those who worm their way into households and befriend silly, sin-burdened women impulsively swayed to new doctrines, forever following new teachers and never able to reach an understanding of the truth. As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth: men of corrupt minds and counterfeit faith. But they will not go far, for their deceit will be known to all men, as was the sin of Jannes and Jambres".
In Genesis 18 the Lord God visited Abraham and Sarah, veiled behind the flesh of a created Man and accompanied by two other messengers in created flesh. Abraham bowed Himself to the ground and worshipped the Lord as "Elohim." Discerning the thoughts of Abraham and Sarah's hearts He vindicated Himself as the Logos manifest (Hebrews 4:12), and remained with His elect, separated from the world and the things of the world, while His companions went on to Sodom where they preached repentance to the non-elect but delivered only Lot and his family before fire from heaven destroyed Sodom and the Serpent's seed cities on the plain. Turning back to the world where her heart was, Mrs. Lot perished, and her husband and their daughters fell into disgrace.
Seminal events of the Old Testament are shadows and types of future events that will take place in the New. This was a perfect shadow of what has transpired in our day, and was the last sign Jesus promised we Gentiles before the end of our Dispensation. Luke 17:28-30, "As it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. So shall it be when the Son of man is revealed." Yet denominational people blinded by unbelief are not looking for this Scripture to be fulfilled.
There can be no denying the world is in a Sodom condition; homosexual parades are government-sponsored, and in many apostate once Christian states it is a crime to denounce homosexuality. The image to the beast of Imperial Rome brought fire from heaven upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Revelation 13:13), and II Peter 3 prophesies the battle of Armageddon will cause fire from heaven to destroy all life. But before the consummation, God promised to reveal Himself to His elect veiled behind the flesh of a sinner saved by grace and vindicate His presence by discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart, while two messengers preach repentance to the non-elect church in Sodom — "as it was in the days of Lot".
Seeking signs without faith, Israel rejected the Elijah of Isaiah 40 and Malachi 3, and following denominational theologians, looked for a military Messiah who would destroy Rome and restore the kingdom to Israel. This will be His third Coming when He steps out on the ashes of the wicked in company with the saints of all ages for one thousand years of peace. Today's wicked and adulterous church seeks after a physical sign it can see, hear or touch without faith. Huge revivals, healing or speaking with tongues! Churchgoers have a form of godliness without the Spirit. "They have eyes and see not, ears and hear not," for the three promised messengers have come.
God veiled Himself behind the prophet William Branham and discerned the thoughts and intents of the heart, restored sight to the blind, hearing and speech to the deaf mutes, healed the crippled and infirm, cast out demons and raised the dead, revealing Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Brother Branham's Message "finished the mystery of God" by revealing the Seven Seals which brought Christ back to earth in Word form (I Corinthians 13:10). And as it was in the days of Lot, while Brother Branham ministered to the non-denominational and interdenominational people, Billy Graham ministered to the fundamentalists, and Oral Roberts ministered to the Pentecostal and Charismatic groups in Sodom.
Christians are they whose lives become written epistles of the revealed Word for their hour. We are the present Truth of God's Word manifest in flesh (II Corinthians 3:2; I John 1:7; II Peter 1:12). From the many who have been called, we like Abraham represent the few who are chosen as the elect of God and have separated from the world.
Jannes means "he vexed." I believe it can be shown that Billy Graham has vexed or oppressed the people and grieved God with a ministry that is anything but "the same yesterday, and today, and forever," having swung 180 degrees from error into iniquity. Billy Graham has preached in person to more people around the world than anyone who has ever lived. He is loved by the world and was seventh on Gallup Poll's list of admired people for the 20th century. Like the Judaising Herbert W. Armstrong he has hobnobbed with the rich and famous, been spiritual adviser to many U.S. presidents and never misses a photo-op with president or potentate. His first crusades were sponsored by powerful Jewish banker, Illuminatus Bernard Baruch, who was associated with Rothschild and the infamous Treaty of Versailles. Together with David Lilienthal he co-authored a plan the US government put to Stalin in 1946 for totalitarian one World Government.
Billy Graham made his "profession of salvation" under the ministry of evangelist Dr. Mordachai Fowler Ham, a convert of Billy Sunday who like ministers Paul Rader and Charles E. Fuller, was associated with British Israel theory, a Jewish hoax popular early last century. He attended Bob Jones College, a fundamental interdenominational school but ultimately alienated himself from Bob Jones Sr. who reproved his "many compromises," and he enrolled in Wheaton College, another fundamental school that has drifted into the stream of the New Evangelical Movement. Here he served on the Board of Sword of the Lord Ministries and Publications. Wheaton was also the headquarters of the National Association of Evangelicals and the newly-organized Youth for Christ, which Graham joined after graduating in 1945, and spoke across America and in Europe. At that time he was known as a fundamentalist and in 1947 he was chosen by Dr. W. B. Riley to succeed him as president of Northwestern Schools in Minneapolis.
In 1948 he declared, "The three gravest menaces faced by orthodox Christianity are Communism, Roman Catholicism, and Mohammedanism." The World Council of Churches (WCC) was scheduled to meet in Amsterdam that year and Graham was going as an unofficial observer. He was asked, "Billy, what do you expect the World Council to do in August?" He said, "I believe they are going to nominate the Antichrist." Later Graham cultivated other friends and became a regular speaker at WCC meetings.
"In 1949 [two Roman Catholic Knights of Malta] William Randolph Hearst, head of a large publishing empire, and Henry Luce, chief of another, Time, Inc., were both worried about Communism and the growth of liberalism in the United States. . . Billy Graham, an obscure evangelist [opened his poorly attended Crusade for Christ tent meetings in Los Angeles. . . in the same week Russia tested its first atomic bomb. This fresh menace gave Graham his text: "Communism is inspired and directed by the Devil himself, who has declared war against Almighty God. Did you know that the Communists are more rampant in Los Angeles than any other city in America?"]. Hearst and Luce interviewed the obscure preacher and decided he was worthy of their support. Billy Graham became an almost instantaneous national and, later, international figure preaching anti-Communism. In late 1949, Hearst sent a telegram to all Hearst editors: "Puff Graham." The editors did — in Hearst newspapers, magazines, movies, and newsreels. Within two months Graham was preaching to crowds of 350,000" (Ben Bagdikian, The Media Monopoly, p. 39 ff). Illuminus Rockefeller was supportive of Graham's New York Crusade, and his Chase-Manhattan Bank helped him out.
Billy Graham understood that a successful mass ministry would require professional salesmanship and he carefully cultivated contacts in the major media with an eye to marketing his product. He does not however, have an understanding of the faith of Jesus Christ. "Notwithstanding his professed calling, it is apparent that Graham worked the corridors of Congress as well as the private rooms of the White House, sometimes overtly, sometimes quietly, in secret letters and private phone calls. And, quite contrary to Time's assertion, it seems that Graham did more to abet segregation than to end it, actively opposing Martin Luther King Jr.'s use of civil disobedience while endorsing aggressive police tactics and punitive laws."
"Like many another political figure, Graham has sealed most of the personal documents connected to his life and work until after—in some cases many years after—his death. Nor did he consent to be interviewed for this work. But the published and unpublished documentary record speaks volumes. It reveals a Billy Graham who has been an unabashed nationalist, capitalist, militarist and advocate for American empire. The picture that emerges is decidedly not that of a disinterested man of the cloth. Rather, Graham often appears as a well connected covert political operative. To the extent that this seems surprising, it stems from the public's wilful naiveté concerning a self-professed holy man coupled with intentionally biased reporting from the major media at the behest of ideologues including, most prominently, William Randolph Hearst and Henry Luce" (Cecil Bothwell, The Prince of War: Billy Graham's Crusade for a Wholly Christian Empire – 2007).
On November 21, 1967, he received an honorary degree from Belmont Abbey College, a North Carolina Catholic school where he said, "I know of no greater honor" than the receiving of this degree. "The gospel that built this school and the gospel that brings me here tonight is still the way to salvation." Oh, come on! In 1972 Dr. Graham was selected to receive the "Franciscan International Award for True Ecumenism." So much for fundamentalism.
In 1957 he said, "Anyone who makes a decision at our meetings is referred to a local clergyman, Protestant, Catholic, or Jewish." In 1963 he had a Roman Catholic bishop stand beside him and bless the "converts" as they came forward in Sao Paulo, Brazil. God is a separator. In Amos 3:3 He said, "How can two walk together except they be agreed on the Word"? A follow up of over 1,300 Catholics who came forward in a San Francisco Crusade reported, "practically all remained Catholic; they continued to pray to Mary, went to Mass and confessed to the priest" (Sword of the Lord, July 2, 1964). "The Catholic Voice" of Oakland said of the Billy Graham's "converts," "If he is a Catholic, he is referred to a Catholic church" (1971). The Superior of the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome says: "The Catholic will hear no slighting of his Church's teaching authority, not of papal. . . prerogatives, no word against mass or sacraments or Catholic practices. The Catholic. . . will hear little if anything he cannot agree with" (1972). The press was told prior to his Paris Crusade that converts "in the Catholic faith requesting reaffirmation would be turned over to the Catholic Church".
Had Jesus compromised in this way with the false religion of His day He would have been crowned and not crucified. Had Paul done likewise, he would have been exalted rather than stoned. Too many preachers in the circle of this Message know on which side their bread is buttered and will not to offend the Devil by declaring "all the counsel of God," which is how they get ahead in the world.
When Graham visited Moscow before the collapse of the Soviet Union he fellowshipped exclusively with the heads of the official state churches, later revealed to be KGB agents. Overlooking the plight of the unregistered underground churches he said, "there was no religious persecution of Christians under Communism" (Christianity Today, May 18, 1992, p.55). In an interview with "Der Spiegel," Graham said, "For years I have not spoken about . . . [Judaeo-Communism] I cannot go round the world and say who is right and who is not right." II Timothy 4:2-5, "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry." II John 10-11, "If any come to you who bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that bids him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds." Titus 3:10, "A man who is a heretic after the first and second admonition reject".
Billy Graham was recognized by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith when it awarded him its Torch of Liberty Plaque in 1969. B'nai B'rith is an anti-Christian Masonic Lodge, one of Rothschild's intelligence-gathering agencies equal in rank with Grand Orient Freemasonry in the lower orders on the Illuminati pyramid and just above Judaeo-Communism. B'nai B'rith is the oldest and largest Jewish organization with members in 56 countries and the only Jewish organization with a full-time presence at the United Nations.
Jewish author Gerald S. Strober wrote that after a February 1973 resolution by the National Council of Churches (NCC) at Pittsburgh failed to declare against converting Jews, Billy Graham released a statement that God had a special place for Jews and rejected "coercive evangelistic efforts" (American Jews: Community in Crisis, p. 110). Jewish Pope John Paul II made a similar announcement thirty years later. Privately, Graham has assured Jewish leaders he is against converting Jews to Christianity. Strober also informs his readers "that many Christian organizations that are "Jewish Missions" take their marching orders from Billy Graham. This confirms numerous reports. . ." (ibid. p. 111). In effect Strober is saying don't worry, Graham is with us, and he controls most of the Christian organizations that are supposedly missions to evangelize us. Messianic Jewish groups are strongly pro-Billy Graham. Some of these groups have grown then gone back into Judaism, the reason being that those who have come forward at Crusades are being referred to Reformed Jewish synagogues.
Rabbi Martin Siegel: "I am devoting my lecture in this seminar to a discussion of the possibility that we are now entering a Jewish century, a time when the spirit of the community, the non-idealogical blend of the emotional and rational and the resistance to categories and forms will emerge through the forces of anti-nationalism to provide us with a new kind of society. I call this process the Judaization of Christianity because Christianity will be the vehicle through which this society becomes Jewish" (New York Magazine, January 18, 1972, p. 32).
Apostates and carnal religious leaders have been so enthusiastic in their support for Billy Graham because he was pumping warm blood into the dead Roman Catholic ecumenical movement and helping to build the coming one world anti-Christ church. When the ecumenical liberals hit a snag in bringing about an organic union of the denominations, they saw in Billy Graham an opportunity to break down the stubborn bars of separation through the medium of evangelism. And the Roman Catholic charismatic movement, an impersonation of the Laodicean Church Age that ended in 1963, is being used to the same end. More than any one man, Billy Graham has been used to break down the barriers of God's unchanging Word to pave the way for Lucifer's ecumenical One World Church prophesied in Revelation 13, a union of men by organization, not the invisible union of God and man by faith.
Billy Graham called Pope John Paul II "the world's greatest moral leader" and for years Catholics who came forward at his crusades were directed back to their local Catholic church (The Saturday Evening Post, February, 1980). The 'hidden hand' is employing ecumenism to entice Rome's harlot daughters back to mother and into harmony with Judaism which gave her birth at the First Nicea Council. Rome and Esau must reach the accommodation foretold in Daniel 9:27 and Revelation 17:12-18 in order to refinance the world monetary system. Billy Graham's consistently compromised Gospel is crafting this psychological symbiosis contrary to the prayer of our Lord "that we might be one in the faith" (John 17:21-26; Acts 2:1; I Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:5, 13; Jude 3). His wife has remained a member of a Presbyterian Church associated with the apostate NCC and all but one of his children were sprinkled, so his Baptist influence was not felt at home. Since the shallowness of his message does not recognize the present Truth it cannot regenerate souls and is a psychological marketing scheme to deliver a quick sale by conscience, affection, memory, reasoning and imagination — not the deep, soul-changing revelation of desperation that drives one to "prove all things, and hold fast that which is good."
Brother Branham attended a prayer breakfast addressed by Billy Graham, "a wonderful man, a great servant of Christ. And he said, "Paul went into a city and won one convert. Next year when he came back, that convert had won thirty. I go into a city and have twenty thousand converts, come back a year later and can't find twenty. What's happened?"
They're converts to denominationalism; that's all. . . See, you plant denominational seed, that's what you get. "Come now brother, join the church; put your name on the book." That's all they know. The people nowadays, in these great revivals become worked up into emotion, come up to the altar and say, "I accept Christ as my personal Saviour," and go back, and never go deep enough with God to actually be born-again. It's an intellectual conception of Christ that will never work".
Billy Graham has been hailed as the world's preacher. However Jesus said, "I pray not for the world, but for those whom You have given Me [out of the world]. . . and also for those who will believe on Me through their word. . . I have given them Your Word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world" (John 17:9, 20, 14). Like the Pope, the Dalai Lama and the late Herbert W. Armstrong, Billy Graham was always identified with, loved and fêted by the worlds most powerful leaders and celebrities.
Jesus said, "Woe to you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets" (Luke 6:26). "Marvel not my brethren, if the world hate you. . ." (I John 3:13). "If you were of the world, the world would love its own" (John 15:19). "Yea, and all who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" (II Timothy 3:12). Contrast Billy Graham with the Old Testament prophets who were persecuted and killed by the sons of Cain (Matthew 23:33-35), Jesus Messiah Himself, Peter, Paul and the disciples who, with the exception of John, were brutally martyred. Consider Martin Luther, and John and Charles Wesley turned out by the church after they were born-again, or Brother Branham who was rejected by the denominations.
The explanation for Graham's contradictory conduct might be looked for in Frankism. His family is said to be related to the infamous Jacob Frank (Leibowicz – 1726-1791), who claimed to be a reincarnation of the false messiah Sabbatai Zevi and has been regarded as the most frightening phenomenon in Jewish history. His Luciferian cult divided Judaism and was the influence that inspired Sigmund Freud's sexually-obsessed theses. Frank was one of those refractory Jews who worshipped devils and asserted that the creator God was not the same as the one who had revealed himself to Israel (C. M. Ekbohrn, 100,000 Foreign Words, 1936, p. 1173). He believed God was evil and proclaimed himself as the true Messiah. He vowed not to tell the truth, rejected every moral law, and declared that the only way to a new society was through the total destruction of the present civilization—Ordo Ob Kao—order out of chaos. "Five things did Canaan charge his sons: love one another, love robbery, love lewdness, hate your masters, and do not speak the truth" (Talmud, Peshachim 113b). Murder, rape, incest and the drinking of blood were perfectly acceptable actions and necessary rituals (Jakob Frank, The Words of the Lord).
Frank followed the dreaded Sabbatai Zevi's example of "changing religion" for the sake of the cause, when he became a "Catholic" he publicly burnt the Talmud, declaring that he recognized only the Zohar, which, he alleged, admitted the doctrine of the Trinity. Thus the Zoharists "claimed that they regarded the Messiah-Deliverer as one of the three divinities, but failed to state that by the Messiah they meant Shabbethai Zebi" (Jewish Encyclopaedia, "Jacob Frank"). In accordance with Genesis 4:14, Frank encouraged his followers to convert to another religion and hide behind that religion to practice their Satanism, working under a another name and in a different occupation. Whereas the Lord judges our motive and our objective, to Frankists the ends justify the means. Karl Marx's father had come into contact with Frankism and instructed his children in this ideology. His family's conversion to Christianity was just a social maneuver. Marx was delighted with the idea of humanity's moral ruination. In his poetry, he dreamed of a pact with Satan and called humanity "the apes of the cold god." He was especially fascinated by violence, and later stressed that one must fight violence with violence. (See The Contemporary Faces of Satan by Ratibor-Ray M. Jurjevich on the subject of Frankism).
The goal of the Frankists was to work in secret to establish Jewish world supremacy (Gershom Scholem, Cabbala, (1974), Sabbatai Zevi (1973), and The Messianic Idea in Judaism – 1971). "Mayer Amschel Rothschild convinced Adam Weishaupt to wholly accept the Frankist Cabbalist doctrine and afterwards financed the Illuminati. Rothschild had given Weishaupt the task of re-establishing the old Alumbrado movement for the Cabbalist Jews. Theoretical Cabbala embraces only secret teachings about God and nature. But practical Cabbala (such as Frankism) attempts to affect earthly matters. It involves the use of amulets and magic numbers as well as the conjuring of evil spirits. Both the Talmud and Midrash contain Cabbalist information" (Ancient Oriental and Jewish Secret Doctrines, (1805); Rabbi Marvin S. Antelman, To Eliminate the Opiate (1974); Juri Lina, Under the Sign of the Scorpion, p. 21-22, 54).
For years many Christians have been concerned over Graham's influence, but since the media including so-called Christian media is controlled by the anti-Christs and the world view of most people is programmed by Hollywood and the perfidious press, not the revealed Word of God, their criticism has been mute. "Don't you realize that friendship with the world is enmity toward God? Therefore, he who desires to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God" (James 4:4).
The Southern Baptist Union has compromised truth over the issue of Freemasonry, and in his book The Deadly Deception (pp. 104-105, 109), Jim Shaw told at how Graham was present at his initiation ceremony into the 33rd Degree (although Huffington House required him to remove Graham's name before publication). Ministers Robert Schuller, Oral Roberts and Norman Vincent Peale are also 33rd Degree Masons. Perhaps we can see why Graham's worthy contemporaries withdrew from his ministry almost as quickly as he rose to celebrity status.
Graham doesn't like to become involved in emotional or controversial issues, especially abortion, and feels the environment is the great issue of the day. He called tabloid psychic and astrologer Jean Dixon a "woman of God" and fully endorses the NCC and WCC and their one world religion agenda; they in turn fully endorse Billy Graham. Graham has done more than any one person to unite all the religions under the Great Harlot.
Pat Schenck, president of the National Clergy Council wrote, "After being an admirer of Billy Graham for over 30 years, I was shocked when at a New York Crusade Bill and Hillary Clinton were brought out on stage, and after being praised by Graham, Bill Clinton was allowed to take the microphone for a few minutes and praise Graham. Graham then addressed the audience, I told president Clinton that when he left office he should become an evangelist, because he has all the right gifts for it, and he should leave his wife to run the country" (Why I walked out on Billy Graham, Michnews.com, June 30, 2005).
The next day Hillary marched in the Gay Pride parade. Hillary Clinton has revealed in Time Magazine (August 9, 2007), that Graham had told her that he really understood what she was doing and supported her. Graham stated that he thought Hillary had a warm and spiritual side to her. This is the woman who helped to cover up the massacre at Waco Texas, the murders at Ruby Ridge, has worked with known Communists, would dismantle the family and true Christianity in America, and was involved in many mysterious deaths of previous associates and business partners.
In 1992, on his national radio program, Embrace America 2000, right after George I's infamous "New World Order" speech, Billy Graham told listeners we need to embrace what every Bible believer since Christ's temptation in the wilderness knows will be Lucifer's New World Order (Matthew 4:8-9).
Billy Graham has told many Jewish leaders that because they are "special people of God," they don't need to come to Christ. His daughters have lived in Israel at one time or another and one of his sons reportedly fought for Israel during the Six-Day War.
In the crusades we see the crowds coming forward, but there is much we are not told. Only 2% of those people are not nominal Christians. Of these, 80% disappear shortly thereafter because they have the impression that all that is really required of them is a "decision for Christ." True discipleship doesn't really enter the picture and they are referred to Catholic or denominational, even New Age churches, and Jewish synagogues. Most "decisions" at Crusades are for trivial matters such as quitting smoking. A writer for the Williamette Weekly (October 1, 1992) searched for an entire week at a Billy Graham crusade for an "unsaved" person, but did not find any one who did not feel they were already a Christian.
The foolish virgin say "amen" to everything Brother Branham said but there is always a revelation behind the "letter" of his Message, which we will discover only as we "prove all things" to discover and hold fast to what he meant.
"What shall we say to these things? for we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknow He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers and Sisters. Moreover whom He did predestinate He also called: and whom He called He also justified: and whom He justified, He has already glorified. If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:28-31). nl503.htm
