Gilad Atzmon – Taking Elder Peres Apart
September 25, 2008 – Truth must be said, I do admire fierce President Ahmadinejad almost as much as I despise war criminal Shimon Peres. However reading the rant Peres gave Wednesday during the UN's General Assembly is a rather amusing experience. The man who has more blood on his hands than any living Israeli politician was rather daring.
"The Iranian people are not our enemies," declares Peres. This is a pretty interesting statement, bearing in mind that Israeli Minister Mofaz threatens to nuke Iran on a daily basis. "Their leader (Ahmadinejad) is a danger to his people, the region and the world." Again, a very bold statement considering the established statistical fact that the vast majority of Europeans actually see Israel and the USA as the leading threat to world peace. . .
Whether Peres was himself successful in addressing the nations is a question that will be left to historians and analysts, however, he himself wasn't totally convinced by his own shallow arguments. Thus he ended up employing the most tedious overused Hasbara propaganda. The pathetic repetition of the "Elders of Zion" tale is one example. Shimon, let me advise you, you had better keep quiet about this 'Elder' topic at least momentarily. You see, in crumbling America, a super power that was toppled by policies set by Wolfowitzes and Greenspans, the Elders of Zion is a devastating reality. You really do not want to go there, you really do not want to be the one who brings it up. . .
However, the Elders of Zion is just one Zionist weapon. Once it is brushed aside the last Zionist weapon of mind destruction is there to be launched, the Shoah and its denial: . .
Listen to me carefully president Shimon, we better admit it, the Zionist Holocaust narrative is falling apart and you have only yourself to blame. For the last 60 years, you and your people have been killing Palestinians in the name of Jewish suffering. Consequently, Israelis are regarded by many as the 'Nazis of our time'. In other words, your present sinister ugliness is far more concerning for all of us than the Nazi crimes that happened 65 years ago. Differently than any other historical event, the Holocaust is a closed book for research, with its crimes that we are not even allowed to scrutinize properly, due to strict laws about what can and cannot be researched or even uttered.
However, in order to maintain the Holocaust Zionist narrative untouched, a strong dollar maintained by 'friendly' bankers is needed. Unfortunately, as you may realize, the dollar is not doing very well at the moment and your 'friendly' bankers are about to be subject to a federal investigation. If I were you Shimon, I would ask my Hasbara guys to come up with something slightly better than the old Holocaust to distract everyone from reality.
"Iran," he says "continues to develop enriched uranium and long range missiles. They introduce a religion of fear, opposing the call of the Lord in respect of life."
Shima'le, look in our eyes when you say it, wasn't it you yourself who launched the Israeli nuclear project? Wasn't it you who introduced the entire region to the nuclear threat? Shima'le you are no doubt a disgrace to human intelligence. No wonder the Israelis themselves never voted for you in your entire political career. . .

Following the Money Backwards leads to President Reagan, Russian rubles and Ambassador Leo Wanta
January, 2007 – While many Americans argue about a variety of current scandals in federal, state, and local governments throughout the United States, the media has remained suspiciously silent about them. Contrary to the myriad of facts and evidence of government complicity or wrongdoing that independent investigators have been steadily uncovering in their analyses of the "attacks" on the World Trade Center; the "bombing" of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City; the sieges at Waco and Ruby Ridge; the facts behind the shoot-out at the Rayburn Senate Office Building/parking garage in May, 2006; the virtual security collapse and mass invasion by illegal aliens along US Borders; the spraying of our skies, crops, and water resources with chemtrails; the numerous bank, investment, securities frauds and sex scandals among members of the Congress, the Senate and the Roman Catholic Church; the secret formation of a "North American Union" and its NAFTA "Super Highway"; the ill-conceived "War on Terror" and the phony "War on Drugs," the mainstream media has been complicit in conspiracies of silence.
In fact, the media has aided and abetted our "elected" lawbreakers in these coverups by endlessly spewing the "talking points" designed to create dissent, confusion and to ridicule or discredit those who demonstrate courage while exposing these despicable and treasonous acts.
Never before in our history has the erosion of Constitutional rights and civil liberties been occurring at such an accelerated pace. There is no denying that the age of Big Brother is now upon us, but those who are naive enough to believe the propaganda they are being spoon-fed on a daily basis are in complete denial that ours is no longer the land of the free. The mind control programs to maintain the illusion of freedom in the mass American mind have been in place for many years and are being tested and modified as needed.
For those who would argue that the media is "fair and balanced," one need only to perform a Google search on the Internet to learn that "Operation Mockingbird" was the government's official declaration that the mainstream media will be controlled—at any cost. The $64,000 question is: "Exactly how much money will it take to control the mainstream media?" The answer: "Lots—billions, at the very least". . . Full story: Idaho Observer
Comment: The "full story" helps explain hundreds of murdered friends, associates and employees of the Bush/Clinton crime families. Here is an initial body count and some telling history on the activities of dual Israeli citizen, US Treasury Secretary (exChairman of Goldman Sachs) Henry Paulson and some behind the scenes background on the allegedly nefarious activities of banks and financial institutions now being "rescued" by Goldman Sachs and other Rothschild affiliates at the never-ending cost of US taxpayers . . . for the privilege of which they pay interest to Rothschild's Federal Reserve.

Bailout Bill loops in Green Tech, IRS Snooping
Last week, the Bush administration proposed a three-page bill to bail out Wall Street to the tune of $700 billion. It died in the US House of Representatives earlier this week.
On Friday, though, the House approved a far bigger, broader, and beefier version of the bill—which has ballooned to a remarkable 442 pages. The vote was 263 to 171, with the bulk of the opposition coming from Republicans. Because the Senate already approved the measure, it immediately went to President Bush, who signed it into law.
On the theory that this would be a way to convince previously skeptical Democrats to approve the measure, one large chunk of the bailout bill is devoted to renewable energy, energy-efficient appliances, and so on (the "Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008"). The authors lured Republicans with protections from the alternative minimum tax (via the "Tax Extenders and Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008").
That includes, as the New York Post pointed out, millions in tax breaks and related pork for kids' wooden arrows, Puerto Rican rum producers, auto race tracks, and corporations operating in American Samoa. (The likely explanation for the latter: StarKist has a large tuna-canning operation in American Samoa. And StarKist's parent company happens to be located in the district of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi).
The bill has become, in other words, something almost unrelated to the business of bailing out Wall Street. The Beltway term for this is a "Christmas tree bill," meaning everyone gets to hang their favorite spending projects on it—though by the time Congress gets it through, it more closely resembles a slop bucket. . . Full story: cnet.com newswithviews.com, and Sister Joan Veon.
Comment: This sham Bill was devised months ago and passed unread by Congress. Read the full story and do your sums. The Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) finally became the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (HR1424).

Why Congressman Jim Traficant REALLY was put in Jail
October 6, 2008 – It is an established fact that the United States Federal Government has been dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1, Public Law 89-719; declared by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt and insolvent. H.J.R. 192, 73rd Congressional session, June 5, 1933—Joint Resolution To Suspend the Gold Standard and Abrogate The Gold Clause dissolved the Sovereign Authority of the United States and the official capacities of all United States Governmental Offices, Officers, and Departments and is further evidence that the United States Federal Government exists today in name only.
The receivers of the United States Bankruptcy are the International Bankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are now operating within a de facto status in name only under Emergency War Powers. With the Constitutional Republican form of Government now dissolved, the receivers of the Bankruptcy have adopted a new form of government for the United States. This new form of government is known as a Democracy, being an established Socialist/Communist order under a new governor for America. This act was instituted and established by transferring and/or placing the Office of the Secretary of Treasury to that of the Governor of the International Monetary Fund. Public Law 94-564, page 8, Section H.R. 13955 reads in part: "The U.S. Secretary of Treasury receives no compensation for representing the United States?"
. . . Their lust is for power and control. Since the inception of central banking, they have controlled the fates of nations. . . The Federal Reserve System is a sovereign power structure separate and distinct from the federal United States government. . . Full story: wakeupfromyourslumber.com
Comment: Why the Secretary of the Treasury is Rothschild's man, and why the US taxpayer is bailing out the banksters rather than those whose mortgages have been foreclosed owing to bankster corruption! Can it be because all US citizens are serfs, owned body and spirit by International Banksters who regard them as "human cattle"?

The Federal Reserve Unconstitutional Money Regulation
In 1935 the Supreme Court ruled that Congress cannot Constitutionally delegate its Power to Another Group (Thomas D. Schauf, The Federal Reserve Unconstitutional Money Regulation p. 168).
Rothschild, a London Banker, wrote a letter saying "It (central banking) gives the National Bank almost complete control of national finance. The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class [quoting The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion - Ed]. . . The great body of the people, mentally incapable of comprehending, will bear its burden without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests." [The bankers created the legislation for the FED].
In 1913, before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee, Mr. Alexander stated: "But the whole scheme of a Federal Reserve Bank with its commercial-paper basis is an impractical, cumbersome machinery, is simply a cover, to find a way to secure the privilege of issuing money and to evade payment of as much tax upon circulation as possible, and then control the issue and maintain, instead of reduce, interest rates. It is a system that, if inaugurated, will prove to the advantage of the few and the detriment of the people of the United States. It will mean continued shortage of actual money and further extension of credits; for when there is a lack of real money people have to borrow credit to their cost."
Pursuant to your request, I will attempt to clear up questions you have about the Federal Reserve Bank (FED). I spent much time researching the FED and these are the shocking and revealing conclusions. . . Full story: larsonsworld.com

International Hate Laws Bite Down
October 6, 2008 – About four years ago, much of the world was shocked when three controversial historians were seized and imprisoned by "anti-hate" thought police. Holocaust reductionists Ernst Zundel, Germar Rudolph and David Irving all served jail time for the "speech crime" of suggesting the total number of Jewish dead in World War II might not be six million or necessarily caused by gas chambers.
On October 1, well-known historian Dr. Fredrick Toben, an Australian, was seized for the same "crime" at London's Heathrow airport. He is now being held and will probably be deported to Germany. There, he faces almost certain conviction and imprisonment.
How will we respond to this latest assault on the free speech liberties of us all?
There is not much time to answer that question. Toben's bail hearing is October 10. His final hearing is October 17. If he is delivered to German authorities, there is virtually no hope for his freedom. Every American, especially Christians, should protest this outrageous attack on freedom of speech. . . his arrest is just a taste of what will come. . . Dr. Toben was seized for exercising free speech and free thought because of a dark agenda. After the Third Reich collapsed in 1945, Jewish activists saddled post-WWII Germany with thought crime laws so stringent that anyone who doubted the 6-million figure—even an overheard Australian tourist—could be arrested and jailed. . .
Israel's Knesset continues to ponder legislation that would empower Israel to demand deportation to Israel for trial of anyone who publicly doubts the 6-million figure. The ultimate objective of ADL-inspired hate and thought crime laws is to make "anti-Semitism" an internationally indictable offense. (See, Hate Laws: Making Criminals of Christians). Their goal is to internationally enforce the definition of "anti-Semitism" now held by the US State Dept's Office of Global Anti-Semitism.
According to this definition, the New Testament claim that Jewish leaders killed Christ is anti-Semitic! Unthinkably, this puts a hate crime noose around tens of millions of Bible-believing Christians. (Watch, US Gov't Condemns 'Unintentional' Anti-Semitism). . . Full story: truthtellers.org.
Comment: In this article you will recognize the seeds of the 'squeeze' and persecution soon to come upon Christ's Bride, and the martyrdom of the "saved" non-elect and the 144,000 elect Israelites during the tribulation by Rome and her denominational daughters who are a mere puppets for the wicked Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and other 'fronts' of Rothschild's Illuminati, orchestrated to build the kingdom of Satan on earth. It should be clear from Brother Pike's article that Rothschilds control Rome, the EU and the United States of America whose citizens are each individually bound in their debt trap. So although it is yet unrecognized, the revived Roman Empire is a reality.

Gathering to Armageddon – Part VIII
I Timothy 6:5-10, "Withdraw yourself from perverse disputings among men of depraved minds and bereft of the truth, who think of piety in terms of profit. But there is great gain in godliness with contentment; for we brought nothing into this world, and obviously we can carry nothing out. If we have food and clothing we shall be content. But those eager to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful cravings that plunge men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evils. In striving for it, some have wandered from the faith and pierced their hearts with many sorrows".
Genesis 3:15, "I will put enmity between the Serpent and the woman, and between his [natural and spiritual] seed and the seed of the first and second Adam born of the first and second Eve; it shall strike your head, and you [Satan] shall strike his [Jesus Messiah's] heel".
Deuteronomy 7:2, "When the Lord your God delivers the Serpent's seed into your hands you shall smite and utterly destroy them; you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them".
Malachi 3:6, "For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed".
These are the commands of God to natural Israel descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and to Spiritual Israel, born of Abraham's promised Seed, Jesus Messiah. Knowing the problem, God cursed Cain and his seed and provided the solution to Joshua and the children of Jacob who did not follow His instructions, but sought to befriend the enemy of God and man. Spiritual Israel likewise sought friendship with the world instead of complete withdrawing. Right now the Lord has delivered them into the hands of (once) Christian America, but instead of utterly destroying them, the apostates are sacrificing their own nation to servitude in the clutches of the Great Whore, Mystery Babylon.
The Old Testament is a shadow and type, but not the very image of good things to come in the New Testament. We confirm our day and its Message when we match the present Truth of the antitype with its foreshadow; and when we see that part of the Word living through us we know our calling and election is sure and can never fail (II Peter 1:10).
Israel became a nation and type of the Church when she was called out of Egypt and separated from the nations as the Church separated from the denomi-nations (I Corinthians 10:1-18; Matthew 15:6; Revelation 18:4). Israel is also a type of the United States of America because both nations were established by pilgrims escaping bondage, the one under political servitude in Egypt, the other in religious servitude to Rome. Each sought freedom of worship; both peoples drove back the natives and occupied the land; each began with God- fearing leaders who brought universal respect to their endeavours and national greatness, demonstrating God will bless a people who obey the Absolute of His unchanging Word; these were succeeded by men of inferior character who sunk Israel into such apostasy that God destroyed that nation; today the United States is blaspheming, killing and looting its way to its prophesied destruction.
Ahab ascended the throne of Israel but he was weak despite his good intentions and became a puppet in the hands of his Serpent seed wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal priest-king of Sidon, who introduced the worship of Baal. Likewise the United States elected John Kennedy as president, a man married to and led by the Jezebel religion that knows the depths of Satan and whose end will be in the lake of Fire with her children (Revelation 2:20-24; 19:20; 20:10).
In the apostasy of Ahab's reign God sent Elijah the prophet to confront Jezebel's priests on mount Carmel and vindicated His prophet with the 'third pull', sending Fire from heaven to receive his offering and rain to break the drought (I Kings 18). Elijah slew the priests of Baal and prophesied the death of Ahab and Jezebel (I Kings 21:17-24). In the apostasy of the Kennedy administration God sent Brother Branham, the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6, whom God vindicated, revealing "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever . . . by discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart . . . as it was in the days of Lot"—the last sign promised to us Gentiles before the day of the Lord (Luke 17:28-30; Hebrews 4:12; 13:8). He prophesied a drought of Spiritual rain and a famine for hearing the Word of God; and after the denominations rejected the unveiling of Christ in 1963 he said "I don't even pray for America. How can I pray for it, and it won't repent under the mighty powers of God demonstrated before it, and denying, and closing the doors to it, and walking away? I commit it to God. And she's going further away, and now she's going to sink" (Trying to do God a Service without His Will, p. 23:136; Jeremiah 3:16; Mark 3:29; I John 5:16).
He said, "Women, given the right to vote, elected President-elect Kennedy—by the woman's vote [and crooked voting machines], the wrong man, which will finally be to full control of the Catholic church in the United States; then the bomb comes that explodes her" (Condemnation by Representation, p. 6:42). Before the United States is destroyed, Christ's Bride having "preached to the total lost" and confronted all demons of unbelief in the 'third pull' of the "mount Zion showdown" will be translated to the Wedding Supper in the Air, and three and a half years later the 144,000 elect Israelites will be sealed (Revelation 7:1-3; 17:1 – 18:20).
Ahab and Jezebel's daughter Athalia, wife of Jehoram king of Judah and mother of Ahaziah, encouraged their evil ways (II Kings 8:18, 27; II Chronicles 21:6). Athaliah (Heb. "whom God afflicts") was a usurper, and belonged to a race destined by divine denunciation to destruction. At the death of her husband and of her son Ahaziah, and knowing Jehu's commission to extirpate the whole of Ahab's posterity she expected he would extend his sword to her, and anticipating his movements, resolved as her only defense and security, to usurp the throne and destroy "the seed royal," both because they were hostile to the Phoenician worship of Baal, which she was determined to uphold, and because, if one of the young princes became king, his mother would supersede her in the dignity of queen mother. She slew all Ahaziah's children except Joash, the youngest (II Kings 11:1-2). After a reign of six years (947-908BC) she was put to death in an insurrection stirred up among the people when Joash was revealed and crowned as king (II Kings 11:4-16, 20; II Chronicles 21:6; 22:10-12; 23:1-15).
Brother Branham said, "This Church of Rome was as heathen and wicked as Queen Athalia who tried to destroy all the royal seed and almost succeeded . . ." (An Exposition of the Sven Church Ages, p. 216:2). Athalia is a type of the apostate (once) Protestant churches whom Jesus calls Rome's bastard children; they are the image of their mother Rome as Athalia was the image of her mother, Jezebel. Rome's once Protestant daughters will shortly federate in their resolve to uphold the worship of her false trinity of gods. Like Athalia they may reign for six years, and backed by US military power, slay all who refuse mark of the beast in their forehead, which is trinitarianism; or the mark in the hand, which is to do Rome's service. But before the great tribulation and after a short and powerful demonstration of the Spirit, the youngest, Christ's end-time Bride, will be translated to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the Sky.
God and Satan have been building their kingdoms for six thousand years, but while Christ's "little flock" is united, Satan's hoard is divided between false religion headed by Rome, the Black Nobility, and Communism, jousting for global hegemony. The Serpent's seed have thoroughly intermarried Rome's ally, the Black Nobility, who will ultimately betray her to nuclear destruction (Revelation 17:16-18). Judaeo-Catholicism has embraced all religions—so-called Protestantism, Islam, Judaism, Shintoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shamanism, Animism—and every ism anxious to avert Judaeo-Communist world hegemony. But the Lord God has raised Judaeo-Communism to destroy the false church, and her daughters will be cast into the same bed as their mother.
Brother Branham said, "This Anglo-Saxon people is finished." After the earthquake sinks Los Angeles the world will see the genuine descendents of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob returning to the land of Israel for their redemption in a time of drought and world depression to implore mercy from their kinsman Redeemer, Jesus Messiah, as Naomi returned from the land of Moab to Israel to call upon her kinsman redeemer, Boaz (Ruth; Isaiah 13:6-17).
Brother Branham said, "When God sends forth a Message and tells the people, and they don't receive it, then He withdraws His servant and sends His plagues: famine, death, spiritually speaking, physically also. You watch for a depression, brother. You think you've seen something; you just wait after while. You haven't seen nothing. You think you're dying for a good spiritual revival; you wait till after a bit. You just wait, long and cry to hear the Word of God. The Bible said so. "There'll be a famine in the last days," said the prophet, "and not for bread and water alone, but for hearing the true Word of God." But that Voice will be quiet, hid away in an unknown wilderness somewhere like Owerri, Sainte Emelie de l'Energie . . . or Currabubula (Jezebel Religion p. 22:100).
If you think the United States is in a bad way now, wait until Satan is cast down to earth to incarnate "that man of sin, the son of perdition" (II Thessalonians 2:3-12). This depression, which will be global, will really set in when the US dollar fails following earthquakes that sink Los Angeles and cleave the mount of Olives, marking the end of the Gentile dispensation and igniting the "hot" stage of a brief World War III (which will not be nuclear). The morale of American citizens will be crushed by a successful Russian invasion and occupation of mainland USA shortly thereafter, with the rape of American wives and daughters and the looting of American possessions as US militaries have raped and looted civilians in occupied nations for a hundred and ten years. Russian troops may even be required to restrain those seeking to bring the criminals who run the US Administration, Congress, Wall Street and Rothschild's Federal Reserve racket to "justice".
Then incarnate, the pope of Rome will convene a confederation of the world's religions, which have all maintained offices in Rome since Vatican II—these things do not happen by chance—and command Russia to withdraw her troops and restore peace in the US and in the Middle East where Russia and the Muslim nations will have invaded following the destruction of the Dome of the Rock (Revelation 13:4). No doubt many international criminals with "dual citizenship," holed up in Israel, that city (state) of refuge, will experience the hand of "the avenger of blood" because he smote his neighbour wittingly, turned national, corporate and individual balance sheets blood red, and sent millions to death in sacrifice to Mammon, their god (Deuteronomy 19:10-13; Isaiah 13:16; Zechariah 14:1-2).
Brother Branham said, "the church system of the Roman Catholic and the Protestant in coming together will control the whole wealth of the world system and force the whole earth into its religious trap, or will kill them, by refusing them the privilege of buying and selling whereby they would make a living. This will be accomplished simply for the harlot's daughters are all but gone back to her. In the meantime, Rome has acquired nearly all the supplies of gold. The Jews have the bonds and all the paper. At the right time, the harlot will destroy the present day money system by calling in all the paper, and demanding gold. With no gold, the system falls. The Jews will be trapped and come into the alliance, and the harlot church will take over the whole world" (ibid, p. 314:1).
A correspondent from Argentina has suggested, a New Dollar "would be gold-backed, however not by just any gold: it will be 999.9 proof gold bullion, with some sort of 100% fool-proof security factor—e.g., either an embedded chip or hologram that will transform it into "Global Reserve Gold", or financially "sacred" gold—that will have a value maybe ten times higher than normal "profane" Gold. At the same time, an extended banking holiday will be declared in order to implement the change of currency . . . Transition to the new currency will be at terms highly beneficial for those banks, companies, citizens, allies and other "preferred allies and friends" of the US who will get One New Dollar for each "old" dollar. Then, certain powerful holders of dollar-denominated instruments—cash, US Treasury Bills and Bonds, and the like—will be given some preferential treatment based on specific US geopolitical and geoeconomic interests such as, for example, the governments and interests of the European Union, Japan, maybe China, and specific institutions and global corporations who will be able to change their old dollars for New Dollars at acceptable rates of exchange, say 2, 3 or 4 old dollars for every New Dollar. For the rest of dollar-holders—i.e., vast numbers of private investors in all parts of the world in countries in Latin America, Central Europe, the Muslim World, Africa, etc.—the US Government will simply say that their respective local markets will need to determine how many old dollars will buy a New Dollar, and that this will be governed by the market forces of supply and demand. We will then see currency traders of all shapes and sizes offering One New Dollar for every 8, 10, or 20 old dollars in the hands of desperate masses of people trying to get rid of those creased green-backed bits of paper of falling value. The immediate effect of this would be to further spread the socializing of US banking losses into emerging markets and weaker economies outside of the United States (i.e., New Dollar would allow the bankers to selectively export the US currency's inflationary erosion towards specific regions and segments of the world). [That sounds like bankster heaven].
Both Russians and Arabs want a gold-backed currency, the ruble and gulf dinar respectively. Complex new financial and commercial ties are being formulated. The US is finished if its dollar is no longer the reserve currency, and a default of US Treasury Bonds would send the United States to instant Third World status. If the tables are turned and the US has to purchase its oil in euros, rubles, or dinars, the United States economy and the US dollar will be finished . . . as will Israel's economy and the shekel, so in order to forestall the inevitable these colonies of 'the City of London' will turn their hand to war. Let's face it, their only asset is a well-blooded military, and their motto is, "By Way of Deception Thou shalt make War".
If Israel pre-emptively attacked Iran, which then blocked the Strait of Hormuz, that would sink the world economy. If the global currency is planned to begin in 10 years time, then the North American regional currency, the amero, must begin in just a few years (the euro already exists and South American nations are planning their regional currency). This will be brought about by devaluing the dollar, which has already begun with the current federal government bailouts. But Bible believers know Lucifer has a plan that does not include a North American Union. Some entity with plenty of gold, a boundless lust for power and devilish ambition but no military to enforce its will could cut a mutually beneficial deal with the United States. Scripture would be fulfilled were Rothschild's and the Roman Catholic church to take over the country. And it's THUS SAITH THE LORD they will . . . after the earthquake.
According to Jim Willie's October 1 Hat Trick Newsletter, which is the third report I have received from reliable sources: "Russian news services contain a fair dose of propaganda. The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) has reported in the Kremlin that the Bank of England has received from the US Federal Reserve Bank a 'notice' that President Bush is preparing to declare an 'Economic Emergency' during the week of October 5th and will further announce that the American Presidential election due to be held on November 4th will be 'indefinitely suspended' in their words. We shall see. Very likely in my view, especially since USArmy preparations are being made." As we wrote last week, "the traditional US bank accounting period is early October, when accounts have to be settled for the fiscal year. The nation and the world is being taken for a ride before the disastrous state of bank liquidity is made public between the 10th and 15th of October after more and more wealth is transferred into fewer hands, at cents in the dollar".
"Mr. Paulson says an emergency meeting has now been called, of the G20 advanced and developing nations. The meeting will take place in Washington this weekend, and will include finance ministers and others already in town for a scheduled meeting of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank" (Radio Australia, October 9, 2008).
"Reliable word that Bank of America branch managers just received a letter or memo from the USFed instructing them to perhaps be ready for a one-week universal shut-down of the banking system, including access to checking accounts, savings accounts and credit cards. Reliable word has it that BofA bank branches received a shipment of signs last week, reading "We're sorry, but due to circumstances beyond our control, we cannot be open at this time."
It is claimed that under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, Chinese police have been authorised to secure foreclosed housing sold to their banks in fraudulent "restructured secutitized products." Let's analyze the bailout mania that will most certainly one day be declared the largest and most brazen swindle in world history (augustreview.com).
Here is a little history we need to recall:
Without the knowledge or consent of citizens, president Roosevelt signed Senate Document 43 in 1933. It states, "The ultimate ownership of all property is in the State; individual so-called ownership is only by virtue of government, and use must be in accordance with law and subordinate to the necessities of the State."
(Before leaving office on March 4, 1933, President Hoover had already refused to sign this original draft prepared by the Federal Reserve Board, NOT Congress, declaring it "unconstitutional" (as is the Troubled Assets Relief Program). Upon taking office the following day, Roosevelt signed it into law by Executive Order 2039 without Congressional approval then on March 9 he convened Congress and bullied them into authorising what he had already done, declaring it a "national emergency" (as George II has done with TARP).
What this means to Americans today is that they do not own their car, home, land or any other material object. They merely possess a right or license from the State for its use. And that can be withdrawn by caprice. America is legally already a Communist state and knows it not. What citizens consider personal possessions are collateral for the bankers who call the shots. Government has a right to tax anything and everything because government "owns" everything. They call these taxes licenses and permits—government owns everything (see biblebelievers).
The following are excerpts from the Senate Report, 93rd Congress, November 19, 1973, Special Committee On The Termination Of The National Emergency United States Senate. They were going to terminate all emergency powers, but found they did not have the power to do this, so guess which one stayed in the Emergency Act of 1933? the Trading with the Enemy Act October 6, 1917 as amended in March 9, 1933.
"Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency . . . Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens." "A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years, freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency . . . from, at least, the CIVIL WAR in important ways shaped the present phenomenon of a permanent state of national emergency." Senate Report, 93rd Congress, November 19, 1973.
March 10, 1933: By the continued use of paper money the United States had to be declared bankrupt, which was proven by the bankruptcy procedures that were followed in President Roosevelt's Executive Orders. President Roosevelt declared the United States bankrupt by Presidential Executive Order, 6073 and the subsequent Executive Orders, 6102, 6111 and 6260. [These documents are still publicly attainable in any federal depository library].
May 23, 1933: On the House floor, Congressman McFadden brought impeachment charges against many of the Federal Reserve board members, Federal Reserve agents of many States, comptroller of the currency, and several secretaries of the United States Treasury for high crimes and misdemeanors, including the theft of eighty billion dollars from the United States Government and with committing the same thefts in 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932 and 1933 and in the years previous to 1928, amounting to billions of dollars. These charges were remanded to the Judiciary committee for investigation, where they were effectively buried and in important ways shaped the present phenomenon of a permanent state of national emergency." Senate Report, 93rd Congress, November 19, 1973. This was all done while the American people sat back and watched in an inebriated state, enjoying the social benefits (biblebelievers).
Since the day of Pentecost the Gospel has traveled around the world from Jerusalem in the East to the West Coast of the United States at the end of the Laodicean Church Age. The city of Laodicea, which was the natural type for the Seventh or Laodicean Church Age, formed the point where three roads converged and met. In her spiritual antitype three roads—religion (USA), politics (Israel) and demonic power (Rome) converge and meet in the United States of America. Laodicea was overthrown by an earthquake in the reign of Jewish Roman Emperor Nero, AD62. The city was so wealthy it quickly recovered and from its own resources soon assumed its pristine glory. The United States and the whole of this Laodicean world will soon be overthrown by earthquakes. Here is how it will be restored:
Through the reunion of church and state and a refinanced US dollar backed by gold, the world economy will soon be back on the road to prosperity, so that the coming world depression will last approximately four years—almost until the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week, when Rome will break her agreement with the International Jewish banksters (Daniel 9:27). Since the first resurrection and translation will take place three and a half years before this time there is no "future" for Christians in the present world system. When Los Angeles sinks beneath the ocean the Gentile dispensation will be over and Satan cast down to earth will incarnate the pope; the US dollar will fail, the mount of Olives will cleave in two destroying the Dome of the Rock and igniting the "hot" stage of World War III; Daniel's Seventieth Week will commence along with the first resurrection and the manifestation of the Sons of God.
What was indicated in last week's Newsletter is now confirmed: George II has arranged a meeting this weekend with central bankers and finance ministers from the G20 group of leading economies in which the right hand of the IMF will lead them toward global hyperinflation by shouldering more US debt, ostensibly to instill confidence in the virtual economy of the stock and commodities markets (to forestall the impending tsunami of maturing derivatives contracts), while wrecking the productive economies of developed nations by globalization with the left hand. As dictator, George II will declare a "national emergency" to advance 'the city of London's' play for global hegemony by announcing the postponement of the 2008 presidential election. Like the false starts of World War I this charade jumped the gun last week when McCain and Obama, acting ahead of cue, abandoned the hustings and returned to Washington. McCain even announced he was postponing his campaign. This 2008 presidential campaign is as phoney as the Moon landing and 9/11. This election was never to take place and is a fraud crafted perhaps at the start of George II's second term, a charade to fool the people.
Had the TARP swindle not succeeded on time, Plan B would have seen the election postponed leaving George II in the White House to prosecute 'the City's' plans at least until Jewish co-conspirators Hillary Clinton and Joe Lieberman could replace Obama and McCain in fresh elections at some later date. Here is how this would happen:
An article on the Nader-for-president website says Barak Obama has been fronting "for the most vicious predators on Wall Street." Allegedly a citizen of Indonesia, Obama was born in Kenya and not being a natural born citizen of the United States cannot qualify as president. His Hon. Judge Barclay Surrick ordered that the following discovery is to be turned over to plaintiff within three (3) days:
Obama's "vault" version (certified copy of his "original" long version) birth certificate; and
a certified copy of Obama's Certificate of Citizenship;
a certified copy of Obama's oath of allegiance."
When I sought to retrieve editorial on this story, the articles had been deleted from Google and US internet websites. Not only Obama is ineligible to be elected as president of the United States (or to sit in the Senate), but also McCain, who was born in Panama. See Snopes, and links on this site. Jewish President F. D. Roosevelt made the point that, "If something happens in politics you can bet it was planned that way".
Visions never fail, and in 1961, the Lord showed Brother Branham a vision wherein he shot a caribou with forty-two inch horns, and afterwards a silver tip grizzly bear. The caribou is the North American rein deer. "Rein" has the same meaning as reign, rule, govern or control. A "deer" is to a cud-chewing animal with deciduous horns. A "horn" in Bible symbolism is a power such as a king or a dictator. The US "horn" is "deciduous" because the president has a limited term and is then replaced. George II is the forty-second "horn" of the United States, which is the image of the beast of Rome.
(President Grover Cleveland served two terms in the late 19th century. When he began his first term in office he was the 22nd president. Benjamin Harrison defeated him in the next election and became the 23rd President. When Cleveland defeated Harrison in the next election and took office for his second term, he was still the 22rd individual since George Washington to hold the office of president. However, because of his non-consecutive terms some sources call Cleveland the 22nd and 24th president. Thus George W. Bush is often called the 43rd but he is in fact the 42nd individual to hold the office of president of the United States).
I have long believed this animal Brother Branham saw in the vision and later shot signified the total number of US presidents to the end of the Gentile dispensation. American presidents have often expressed "man's opposition to God." Many have been traitors to America, lackeys of the Rothschilds, and in this century, Communists! Like American presidents who are elected, the horns of the caribou are regularly replaced. And whereas caribou horns normally have panels, the horns in the vision had spikes measuring exactly forty-two inches. The horns on the beast that rose up from the sea had ten spikes, ten uncrowned kings or dictators that will rule a short time with Rome, deserting her at the end of forty-two months precisely (Revelation 13:1; 17:12-13; Daniel 2:41-44).
Note the tape measure on the horn which measures precisely forty-two inches. The little gun Brother Branham used to shoot the beasts represents God's Word which accomplishes that for which it was sent. The fact he killed each animal with one shot demonstrates the infallibility of prophecy. Had he missed, it would have represented sin. It is the spoken Word with which God will destroy His enemies. Our defense and our resurrection will be the manifestation of that Word in us.
Brother Branham afterwards shot the silver tip grizzly with one shot in the heart. And the bear continued charging after he was shot, dying fifty yards from where he was standing. Perhaps I am stretching my imagination . . . or yours, but fifty is the number of Jubilee, and the Pentecostal Jubilee is the catching away of Christ's Bride. The head and the horns of the caribou weighed a hundred and fifty pounds: 3 x 50 signifies "complete deliverance".
Brother Branham said there are four bears in the grizzly family (as there are four different world empires in the times of the Gentiles). He described the silver tip bear as highly strung, ill-tempered, and the biggest fighter of the four types of bear. Certainly, for "one of his heads was wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed." He's a real fighter, that iron runs right to the toes. He found and shot this bear in "sheep country." It was black with silver on the tips of its fur. Black represents sin, whilst silver signifies redemption. This is confusion, like Lucifer, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Another word for confusion is Babylon: "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the Earth" stalks her prey among the "sheep" (Revelation 17:5; John 10:1-5).
From its fierce appearance and disposition I identify this bear with the beast described by Daniel 7:7-8, 19-25, and Revelation 13:2. I believe it represents the Roman Catholic church which will rule the world with America and the Black Nobility of the ten kingdoms of a revived Holy Roman Empire as revealed to Daniel and John in a series of visions.
In some places Brother Branham said the bear would be nine feet tall. Nine is the number of finality and judgment. Once the bear had been slain, he said it was seven feet tall. Seven is the number for completion. Russia will annihilate the US, and the Vatican by nuclear bombs. But the Devil-incarnate Roman Beast ruling from Jerusalem, will continue her aggression after the destruction of the Vatican (Revelation 17:16; 18:6-20; 19:2-3). Then Armageddon will break out wherein ALL life will be destroyed.
Children of disobedience, "despisers of those who are good, having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof," mocked Elisha, calling him "Baldy," as the denominational churches rejected the Message of the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 when his Message is Christ, and today their ministers mock Brother Branham. But judgment will strike America's children of disobedience after her forty-two months servitude to Rome as it struck when two she bears came out of the forest and killed forty-two unbelieving children who mocked Elisha (II Kings 2:24).
During these 42-months God will deal with 144,000 elect Israelites through the ministry of two Hebrew prophets. God deals with Israel as an nation and will never deal with her outside the land, the one place in which His Covenant is in effect. Any Hebrew outside the Land has no claims upon the Covenant God made with Abraham.
While the US scoffs at the Message of God's Prophet, profaning God's holy things, the handwriting is on the wall. Russian bombs wait to be delivered after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week. North America will be annihilated. Armageddon will follow—the third great revolution—and Satan's last confrontation until after the general resurrection.
Forty-two is a number connected with Antichrist (Revelation 11:2; 13:5). Another number of Antichrist is 1,260, and this is 30 x 42. Being the product of six times seven, its factors show a connection between man and the Spirit of God, and between Christ and Antichrist. Forty-two signifies the working out of "man's opposition to God"; hence the expression "at sixes and sevens" when man is mixed up with the things of God and religious "flesh" engages in spiritual things as when the revived holy Judaeo-Roman empire vicariously rules Lucifer's totalitarian one world government.
Forty-two stages of Israel's wanderings mark their conflict with the will of God (Numbers 33:50-56). There were forty-two kings from David to the Babylonian captivity; forty-two generations from Abraham to his promised Seed, Jesus Messiah (Matthew 1:17); forty-two emperors in Rome until the institution of Papal Rome (by the reckoning of some), and there will be forty-two presidents of the USA to the close of the Gentile dispensation. Forty-two churches agreed to sponsor a series of Brother Branham's meetings but unbelief overcame them all so that he had no sponsoring churches. The pretence of the world's Hegelian sham democracies end in the reign of the forty-second president of the United States, followed by its forty-two month world dominion as the image of the Beast of papal Rome. The Roman church will have dominion over Jerusalem for forty-two months (Daniel 7:23-25; 12:7; Revelation 11:2; 13:5).
Seven major continuous visions came to Brother Branham one Sunday morning in June, 1933. The Lord Jesus spoke to him and said that the coming of the Lord was drawing nigh, but that before He came, seven major events would transpire. "In the sixth vision there arose up in America a most beautiful, but cruel woman. She held the people in her complete power. I believed that this was the rise of the Roman Catholic Church . ." (ibid, 322:2). He said "when the Constitution's broken a little more, they'll put you in chains for preaching the Gospel" (C.O.D., 145:201-203). He tied that comment to the end of the Gentile dispensation and the manifestation of the Sons of God.
Zedekiah of Judah was the last king of an independent natural Israel before "the times of the Gentiles" began, but weak, vacillating, and treacherous, he brought ruin on his country and himself when he betrayed the kindness of Nebuchadnezzar. Thus these seemingly inconsistent prophecies were fulfilled, "his eyes shall behold his eyes" (Jeremiah 32:4), and "he shall not see Babylon, though he shall die there" (Ezekiel 12:13). II Kings 25:6-7, "So they captured the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah (the mount of Baal, which at 10,000 feet overtops every mountain in Palestine and still has the remains of a Baal sanctuary). Nebuchadnezzar pronounced sentence upon him. And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, then dug out his eyes, and bound him with fetters of brass, and brought him to Babylon".
Unclean spirits that came out of the mouth of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet are gathering the world to Armageddon. George II, the last president of a supposedly independent United States is already blind spiritually, having led his nation and the nations once host to Spiritual Israel under permanent tribute to the Jews' 'City of London.' This weekend he will make decisions that will irrevocably enslave the United States and bind the world to servitude in fetters of iron to that "most beautiful, but cruel woman"—"Mystery Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth". nl548.htm

Gathering to Armageddon - Part VII
Bible Believers' Newsletter #547
"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. Thank you for fellowship around God's unchanging Word.
Jesus said, "I am . . . the Truth." Outside our kinsman Redeemer there is no way to eternal Life (John 14:6). All the Lord asks of man is that he believes, understanding what it is he believes, and that abides in the faith.
Satan believes and trembles but does not abide in the Truth but manipulates God's Word with the objective of usurping the Kingdom predestinated to Jesus Messiah. God destroyed the old world in the days of Noah and Satan renewed his program of dominion in Babylon whose false religion overspread the world. The Lord destroyed Israel and scattered her people when they adopted the trinitarian hoax. When Judah followed suit He destroyed His temple and sent the nation into captivity, bound under Gentile dominion until the consummation of life on earth.
In Babylon their rebellion intensified: the priesthood was replaced by rabbis, organized religion imposed over the priesthood of the home and Babylonian religious/commercial codes became a cipher to redefine the Law and the Prophets by rabbinical human reasoning against truth after the manner by which Satan seduced Eve in the Serpent(Matthew 15:9). This became the Talmud. In his foreword to the Soncino English version of The Babylonian Talmud, the Very Rev. The Chief Rabbi of the British Empire J. H. Hertz wrote, "The beginnings of Talmudic literature date back to the time of the Babylonian Exile in the sixth pre-Christian century . . ."
According to The Jewish Encyclopedia: "With the destruction of there Temple . . . Henceforth, Jewish life was regulated by the teachings of the Pharisees . . . Pharisaism shaped the character of Judaism and the life and thought of the Jew for all the future" (1905; Page 665).
Pharisaism is Judaism, which so distorted God's unchanging Word it became of no effect to the people, causing them to reject and crucify their Messiah on the hour, day, month and year foretold by Moses and Daniel. These people introduced the "Big Lie" of Babylonian trinitarian religion into Christendom when they organized the Universal Roman state religion we know as Catholicism. As Christ in Hosea called Israel and Judah whores because of their false worship, Christ in John called Roman Catholicism "the great whore" for its false worship (Hosea 1:2; I Corinthians 11:3; Revelation 17:1 – 18:20).
Whatever is not truth is a lie drawing men away from God and initiating them into the kingdom of the Devil. Lies pervade and govern society because the children of Darkness have dominion over our political leaders through party politics which they control via the Money Power as they controlled the Israelite Temple in the days of Messiah. Through our parliaments the Banksters control and write our laws and control practically every judicature via the British Accreditation Registry.
Nowadays one is ridiculed, ostracized or imprisoned if one dares question the "Big Lie" in any of its forms instituted and codified as legal, industrial or professional standards; in the usurious Babylonian fractional reserve banking system of permanent inflation and exponential debt, in our Hegelian sham democracies, and perversions of religion, common sense, medicine, good manners and language according to Lucifer's long term plan for thought control, which is contrary to God who placed each man on the basis of free moral agency (Genesis 2:16-17; Proverb 23:7).
"One of the great secrets of the day is to know how to take possession of popular prejudices and passions in such a way as to introduce a confusion of principles which makes impossible all understanding between those who speak the same language and have the same interests" (Machiavelli, 1469-1527).
In his book The Impact of Science on Society, Bertrand Russell wrote: "It may be hoped that in time anybody [humanist] will be able to persuade anybody [children] of anything, if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the state with money and equipment. . . Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten."
"It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody [children] of anything, if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment. This subject will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship. . ."
"Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rightly confined to the governing class and the populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated . . . education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they will be incapable . . . of thinking or acting otherwise than their schoolmasters would have wished."
The Impact of Science on Society was published in 1976 and that those remarks could be said in a book that would be read within the education system shows the program described was already comfortably operating. By the time students enter into higher education many are already seeing themselves as elite and enter easily into the spirit of elitism. Encouragement to this viewpoint is part of the trickery. Instead of the gifted and the educated being allowed to see that their gifts and education give them a greater responsibility, they are ego-boosted with ideas of greater importance and authority. Over recent years parents have been encouraged (and forced by economic pressure) to deliver their children to the system at younger and younger ages. The latest move is day care and baby classes while mothers go to work to pay for the deceptive conceit of feminism which has cut the male wage by 50 percent.
Here is a fine example quoted by Caldwell & Zanfagna in their book Fluoridation and Truth Decay, from writings of Edward L Bernays: "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses must be done by experts, the public relations counsels; they are the invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions . . . the most direct way to reach the herd is through the leaders. . . all this must be planned . . . indoctrination must be subtle. It should be worked into the everyday life of the people — 24 hours a day in hundreds of ways . . . A redefinition of ethics is necessary . . . the subject matter of propaganda need not necessarily be true" (p. 8).
Bernays is said to have been the father of modern Public Relations (PR) and it is interesting that he advocates control "through the leaders", which adds weight to Disraeli's observation that those normally thought of as leaders such as the political class are merely puppet leaders of the goiim or herd of "human cattle," not the people in control.
"The battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith . . . These teachers must embody the same selfless dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist preachers, for they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing the classroom instead of the pulpit to convey humanist values in whatever subjects they teach . . . preschool or large state university" (The Humanist, Jan/Feb 1983).
Truth and your potential for eternal Life are the casualty when we fail to prove all things in God's unchanging Word. Having conditioned people to feed from their controlled media and public education system rather than think for themselves and hunt for the truth, the people of the "Big Lie" are trying the frighten the "human cattle" into the Federal Reserve slaughter yard. The proposed government bailout will transfer the accumulated losses of the banksters to the taxpayer. It will bail out Goldman Sachs and other Rothschild companies but it will not fix their corrupt financial system, neither will it protect home owners from foreclosure.
The bailout rejection and subsequent 777-point collapse of the Dow Jones Index was timed to perpetrate this fraud on the US treasury ahead of the traditional US bank accounting period of early October, when accounts have to be settled for the fiscal year. The nation and the world is being taken for a ride before the disastrous state of bank liquidity is made public between the 10th and 15th of October after more and more wealth is transferred into fewer hands at cents in the dollar.
The picture in the US is ugly. Federal debt after Iraq and Afghanistan, and hurricanes like Ike and Katrina, stands at $10.6 trillion. State and Local Government debt is a further $2.2 trillion. Mortgage debt is $11 trillion and consumer debt $2.6 trillion. These four items alone total over $26 trillion—well over $100,000 for every living soul in the United States, including the millions of illegal immigrants!
That is but a fraction of the debt. Sheer gambling, in the form of derivatives, makes government and home mortgage debt look trivial. Derivatives outstanding stood at US$485 trillion—eight times global gross domestic product of $60 trillion (Satyajit Das interviewed by Jon Markman at MSN Money September 20, 2007). Today derivitves exceed US$700 trillion. Wall Street banks are staring bankruptcy in the face. They dare not even lend to each other.
With respect to the US presidential elections and the coming one world government you should read Protocol 10.
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

Neturei Karta: Ahmadinejad wants Peace
September 25, 2008 – Neturei Karta is a fringe ultra-Orthodox group formally created in 1935, that opposes Zionism and calls for the dismantling of the State of Israel on the grounds that they believe Jews are forbidden to have their own state until the coming of the Messiah.
During the meeting members of the delegation presented the Iranian president with a $700 silver trophy as a sign of friendship. . . Rabbi Weiss said the delegation thanked Ahmadinejad for his positive treatment of Iran's Jewish community. "We know he is not an enemy to the Jews, he has a Jewish community in his country that he honors, defends and supports." The rabbis added that Ahmadinejad "is not against the Jews, but against the Zionist regime."
Explaining the common thread between Neturei Karta and Ahmadinejad, Rabbi Weiss said, "The Iranian President understands the difference and understands that not everyone bears the Zionist outlook. . . Ahmadinejad, like us, understands the difference between Judaism and Zionism," claimed Rabbi Weiss who emphasized that the Iranian president is not looking for ways to bomb Israel. "It is the complete opposite; he wants peace and not to destroy the Jewish nation, that's what he explained to us. He is against the difficulties generated by the Zionist nation against the Palestinians," he said. . .
"Due to the Zionist leadership's denial of the Torah and diversion from its path, the warnings written in it are being ignored. This is likely to bring the Jewish nation to catastrophic outcomes as we see today and this is what we are fighting against," said Rabbi Weiss. Full story: ynetnews.com
Comment: Israel wanted to bomb Iran this year theaustralian.news.com.au. The once Christian Western nations with their Hegelian sham democracies and Zionist bankster-controlled equivocating politicians would do well to have honest God-fearing men such as Iraniam president Ahmadinejad in their place rather than our self-called hypocrites.

Olmert advocates returning Land seized in 1967 to win Peace
Jerusalem, September 29 2008 – Israel's departing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that his country will have to withdraw from "almost all" of the land it seized in a 1967 war if it wants to have peace with Syria and the Palestinians. . . "I have not come here to justify my actions over the past 35 years," he said. "For a large portion of that period, I was unwilling to look reality in the eye. . . We will maintain control over a certain percentage of the territories, but we will have to give the Palestinians a commensurate percentage of our land, because without this, there will be no peace," he said.
Mr. Olmert said that Israel also needs to let go of predominantly Arab East Jerusalem, which the Palestinian Authority hopes to make the capital of a future state, and agree on a "special creative solution" regarding sovereignty over disputed holy sites in the Old City. . . "I do not believe that there is a single reasonable person in Israel who believes that we can make peace with Syria without ceding the Golan Heights," he said. Mr. Olmert also dismissed the idea of a unilateral Israeli strike to destroy Iran's nuclear program. Though the idea is routinely floated by Israel's security establishment, Mr. Olmert said such talk is an example of "our delusions of grandeur". . . Full story: ynetnews.com
Comment: Not before time. This would match Bible prophecy.

Gathering to Armageddon – Part VII
The vision of the millennium Kingdom of Israel as seen by John in Revelation 21:1 – 22:5 is portrayed in Old Testament symbols that remain meaningful to the Christian dispensation. Ezekiel recorded his vision of the Kingdom in symbols that would remain familiar to those of the Hebrew dispensation from his day to their fulfillment in Daniel's Seventieth Week.
Ezekiel 40:1-2, "In the twentieth-fifth year of our Babylonian captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem was taken, in the same day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me in visions of God into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, on the south of which was a city".
Ezekiel sees Israel restored to the promised land. Not from their captivity in Babylon, but from captivity to sin. This is the 144,000. The "very high mountain" is Zion; the city on its southern aspect is new Jerusalem, the City and Bride of David's greater Son.
Psalm 48:1-3, "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God on His holy mountain. Beautiful for situation, the joy of all the earth, is mount Zion, the city of David. On its northern side is Mount Moriah and the Temple. God is known in her palaces as her sure defence" (Matthew 5:35).
When John first saw the vision in Revelation 1, the City was signified by the golden lamp stands that stood before God in the southern side of the sanctuary. Ezekiel saw it after the Gentile dispensation was complete when the sanctuary has been transformed into the "very high mountain" like mount Sinai wherein no profane thing may so much as touch its border (Exodus 19:12-13; Revelation 21:27; 22:14-15). Solomon's Temple signified the fifteen hundred-mile high pyramid-shaped holy mountain of God's dwelling place on earth; the golden lampstand that stood in the south is transformed into the City of God on the southern side of the mountain, while the table of shewbread that stood in the north side of the sanctuary representing Israel is here transformed into the millennium temple on the northern side of the same mountain or Kingdom.
God manifested His Presence in the Pillar of Fire and Cloud in the Holy of Holies of Solomon's Temple on Mount Moriah. His Presence led the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan (Exodus 13:21-22), covering them from the heat of day as it will cover new Jerusalem throughout eternity (Psalm 105:39; Isaiah 4:5). It became a fire by night, giving light to the Israelites but "was a cloud and darkness" to the pursuing Egyptians. In the vision of Ezekiel 10:4 and 11:23 the Presence departed the temple at the commencement of the "times of the Gentiles" and was absent from the temple restored by Zerubbabel and from the temple beautified by king Herod. Throughout this period the temple suffered frequent desecration by the heathen and a corrupt priesthood with the climax to come in Daniel's Seventieth Week when Satan, incarnate in "that man of sin," will exalt himself in the new temple atheist David Ben Gurion called "a shrine of the prophets to serve the federated union of all continents . . . the seat of the supreme court of Mankind" (Isaiah 14:13; II Thessalonians 2:1-4).
The Shekinah will return to Israel's reinstructed millennium temple built in one day without hands. Then Satan will ensure "there shall not be left here one stone upon another that is not thrown down" in martyrdom (Ezekiel 43:2; Revelation 6:11; 14:1-5, 1-13; 15:2-4). But in the regeneration, not just the temple precinct on Mount Moriah but the whole of the "very high mountain" of Zion shall be sacrosanct (Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:21-25; Matthew 19:28-30).
The deliverance and glorification of Israel will take place after the deepest humiliation: "In the last days it shall come to pass, that Mount Zion shall be established as the highest of all mountains (or head of all kingdoms), and be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, 'Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the [magnified] Law shall go forth from Zion and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem'" (Micah 4:1-2; Isaiah 2:2-4; 42:21; Revelation 21:24-27).
Nebuchadnezzar "saw a stone cut out of the mountain without human hands. It smote the image of his dream on its feet of iron and clay and broke them into pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so no trace of them could be found: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain that filled the whole earth".
In revealing the interpretation of the king's dream through His prophet, Daniel, God said: "When Papal Rome rules Satan's New World Order, the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: nor shall its sovereignty be left to other people, but it shall break and crush and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever" (Daniel 2:34-35, 44; I Peter 2:4-8).
So what is this holy mountain? It is the spoken Word of God made manifest by the virgin birth through which God had pre-eminence of one Man to declare Himself and redeem an election from Adam's race. As they come under Christ's Headship, they reflect His glory by manifesting the Word for their age, and are changed into the same image from glory for glory, in proportion to the measure of Spirit revealed to their day (II Corinthians 3:18). Once Christ's end-time Bride comes into the unity of the faith and is under His pre-eminence He will manifest the fullness of the Godhead bodily in her to impart grace for translation faith in the manifestation of the Sons of God. Then He'll take us Home. And after the Wedding Supper, we shall return to earth as that City descending from God out of heaven upon that great mountain or kingdom, restored back to Eden. This is God's threefold purpose of Colossians 1:15-29.
One of the seven angels who had the Seven Vials of wrath to pour upon the nominal church carried John, who represents us, Christ's end-time Bride, in the Spirit to that "great and high mountain" as the Spirit of the Lord transported Ezekiel in his vision (Ezekiel 40:2). This angel was William Branham (1909-1965) who showed John a preview of our return to earth as "the City of the Great King" (Malachi 4:5-6; Revelation 10:7; 17:1; 21:9-10).
God brought Ezekiel to the City, new Jerusalem, by vision. In the flesh the prophet was in Babylon, on Nisan 25, 574BC but he was caught up into the Spirit in the Lord's day to a time approaching the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week.
Ezekiel 40:3-4, "The Lord brought Ezekiel to the City of God, and there was a man, whose appearance was like brass, with a line of flax in his hand (for long measures), and a reed (for short lengths), standing in the gate. And he said, Son of man, look with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for you are brought here to see these things then declare all that you see to the house of Israel."
Now the identity of this man interests us because this is Brother Branham (Revelation 21:9-15) who reveals the mystery of God to John who represents the end-time Bride of Christ. Ultimately it is the fullness of the Word portrayed in Revelation 1:13-15 as "one like the Son of Man," which is Christ's Bride drawn out from all seven Church Ages reflecting His glory. When God expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, He set cherubim and a flaming sword at the east gate. It was via the eastern gate that Ezekiel saw the Spirit of the Lord depart Solomon's temple, and by this gate He sees Him enter His new temple for the millennium, a temple not made with hands. Christ's Bride stands in the gate of the City where in ancient times judgments were made, for God will judge the world by Christ and His Bride (Matthew 19:28; John 5:27; Acts 17:31; I Corinthians 6:2; Revelation 21:12).
Judgment is signified in Revelation 1:13-16 where the Bride is girt about the breast with Truth (Ephesians 6:14) and in Ezekiel 40:3-4. In Revelation 11:1-2, "A reed as a measuring rod (of the Absolute of the open Book of Revelation 10) is given to John (who represents the end-time Bride): and Christ said, Rise, and measure the temple of God and the altar of incense, and all (the sanctified blood Israelites) who worship inside. But omit the outer court, and measure it not; for it is given over to the Gentiles: and they shall tread the holy City under foot forty-two months." That is, for the first three-and-a-half years of Daniel's Seventieth Week in which God's Covenant in Christ is reconfirmed to Israel (Daniel 12:6-7; Revelation 12:14; 13:5).
God's standard is incarnate in Christ's end-time Bride against whom He is measuring or judging the faith and character of 144,000 Israelites who will constitute His millennial temple by the unbending reed of THUS SAITH THE LORD of the fullness of His Word by which she was called and chosen—without a Mediator.
Let's confirm the identity of this symbolic Man in Daniel 10:4-6. "In the twenty-fourth day of Nisan, as I was by the side of the great river Hiddekel, which is the Tigris; I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and saw a Man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz: His body also was a golden lustre like yellow serpentine, His face looked like lightning, His eyes were like flaming torches, His arms and His feet shone like polished brass, and the sound of His Words was like the voice of a multitude".
This is the same Being we saw at an earlier stage in the development of this prophecy. It is the heavenly Bridegroom of the future Bride of Christ afterwards revealed to John and Ezekiel as new Jerusalem, the dwelling-place of God. As Brother Branham said, this symbolic man of brass was so "like unto the Son of Man" that through the invisible marriage union the two have become one as Jesus prayed in John 17:21-26.
Revelation 21:9-10, 15, "One of the seven angels who had the Seven Vials full of the seven last plagues, came and spoke with me, saying, Come with me! I will show you the Bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. (This is the same vision as Ezekiel 40:2 only the focus of that vision was on the 144,000 Israelites in the restored theocracy of the millennium). And he who spoke with me had a golden reed to measure the City, and its gates and its wall." The golden reed is the Absolute of God's unchanging Word and signifies the eternal quality of God's elect.
The angel with the Vial was Brother Branham. Only Brother Branham's ministry could define the City which is the Bride of all Ages, the Lamb's Wife, because it restored the apostolic faith and finished the mystery of God (Malachi 4:5-6; Revelation 10:7). He preached the same revelation as Paul by which God will judge the world by Jesus Christ—"the full measure of the stature of the perfect Man" (Acts 17:31; Romans 16:25; Ephesians 4:13). When the Prophet was translated beyond the curtain of time, and met some of his Laodicean converts, he declared, "Everything Paul preached, I preached exactly the same." They replied, "We're resting on that".
Measuring the City defines the harmony and perfection of its structure. The manner in which the revelation of Christ was delivered to the saints during the Seven Church Ages, "here a little and there a little more," instructs us "that by speaking the Truth in love we may grow up into Him in all things, who is the Head, even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body to the edifying of itself in love" (Ephesians 4:15-16). We know the Word or measure of Spirit by which God called and manifested the "lively stones" chosen for each division of the City, and from the Revelation of the Seven Seals and An exposition of the Seven Church Ages can discern who was accounted worthy to pass that judgment and enter in through its gates and foundations which bear the names of Israel's patriarchs, and the twelve apostles upon whose doctrine it is built. In the renewed heavens and renewed earth the patriarchal and apostolic fathers will sit in the City gates to judge and receive tithes from the "saved." Finally, Brother Branham defined the proportions of the City wall which signifies 144,000 elect Israelites (Revelation 21:14-20). Like ourselves, they will be built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20). This is our Absolute, the golden reed of the fullness of the Word possessed by His Bride (Revelation 11:1-2).
The Vial contains the temporary judgment of his Message which is to try the nominal church who proclaimed themselves to be Christians. This trial is to separate the false group who rejected his Message from the foolish virgin who believed yet did not become one with It. We know that the revelation of Jesus Christ was given to Jesus by God after His ascension, and that He revealed it to only one man—the angel to the seventh or Laodicean Church Age who was William Branham. We know this from Revelation 1:1 and 10:1-4.
When John saw Christ's parousia in the revelation of the Seven Seals (following the close of mediation in Revelation 4 and 5), he was about to write down the hidden mystery when a voice from heaven commanded: "Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not . . . but in the days of the voice of the prophet-messenger to the Laodicean Church Age, the mystery of God should be finished" (Revelation 10:7).
The messenger to the Laodicean Age was the only man to whom Jesus revealed the Seven Seals. The angel who guided John throughout the Book of Revelation was William Branham. Like Ezekiel, John was caught up in the Spirit into the Lord's Day. In the flesh, he was on the Isle of Patmos. In the Spirit he saw visions of the future and heard the angel William Branham teach "those things which the seven thunders uttered".
Like Daniel, John could not comprehend everything signified by Old Testament symbols, and forbidden to transcribe the explanation of the voices of the seven thunders (which are the mysteries hidden under the Seven Seals), he recorded the symbols he saw and the words spoken by the angel, William Branham, "to show to God's servants things that must shortly come to pass" (Revelation 1:1).
God always foretells things before they occur and believers through the ages, unable to grasp the full significance of these symbols nonetheless held them to be true. In this last day, "time (or delay) is no longer," as the saints predestinated to the PART-Word Body of the seven Church Ages have all been baptized into their places in the Body.
Since the mystery of God is finished the end-time Bride with the fullness of the Word is without a Mediator yet she has no excuse for ignorance for she establishes her place in the Word and her position in the body by applying the mystery of the seven thunders to the symbols in the Book and fulfilled history. Hereby we identify which Scriptures and therefore which divisions of the Body are already fulfilled, and recognize our day and its Message. And since Israel is God's timepiece we can measure the lateness of the hour, the nearness of the first resurrection and Daniel's Seventieth Week.
Ezekiel 40:5 – 42:20 is God's instruction to Ezekiel for building the millennium temple. The temple is where God revealed His glory to Israel and dwelt in their midst. He now wishes to reveal His glory in the Temple of Christ and His Bride to Israel's elect 144,000, making them His millennium temple where we can dwell in love once their stony hearts have been converted into hearts of flesh. The Bride is already manifested Word and in Revelation 11:1-2 we apply the Absolute of the revealed Word to measure and choose the 144,000 who will be our personal servants.
Ezekiel's instructions show Israel that the way into the Presence where the likeness of the glory of God is revealed is by a total separation from all uncleanliness. His Book reveals how the Presence of the Spirit of the Lord departed Solomon's temple prior to its destruction by His servant, Nebuchadnezzar, and the commencement of "the times of the Gentiles." These chapters prophesy how His Presence will return to Israel in their revelation of the 'parousia' Coming of their King and High Priest Jesus Christ with His Queen to restore the kingdom to Israel after the expiration of the "Gentile dispensation." They explain how Christ's Bride is the "lively" stones from which the temple was built in seven stages signified in the seven rests or sabbaths of seven Church Ages that are the antitype of Israel's Pentecostal feast (Matthew 3:9). Individually each member of the Bride entered into the Holy of Holies through the riven veil of Christ's Body by three successive stages of grace during Israel's blindness (Ezekiel 40:24-37), and the Shekinah took its abode in each one of us as signified at the inauguration of Christ's mystic Body on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4). Revelation 11:2 demonstrates conclusively that once the Gentile dispensation has ended there will be no further opportunity for nominal or false Christians, or Gentiles of any station, including so-called Jews, to pass beyond the outer court. Under the Old Testament type they would have been evicted by the temple guards.
On the northern side of the sanctuary were tables for slaying and dividing the sacrificial beasts. Like the bodies of those beasts that were flayed and inspected for imperfections before acceptance, Israel will be sifted, purged in the fire of afflictions as silver and gold are refined, and crushed like grapes (Amos 9:9-10; Malachi 3:2-6; Revelation 14:12-20). This signifies Israel will enter the Presence through the Great Tribulation. The Temple itself stood on the east of Mount Moriah, and when Titus destroyed Jerusalem, judgment began at the sanctuary of the Temple (Ezekiel 9:6; I Peter 4:17).
During the tribulation, the beast will establish his headquarters in Jerusalem and profane a new temple to be built on Mount Moriah (Daniel 11:45; Isaiah 14:13). His judgment and the slaughter of Armageddon will also come from the north, the side of the sanctuary that held the table of shewbread that represents Israel. Under the Sixth Seal it will come upon the Christ-rejecting world in general; under the Seventh Trumpet it will afflict Israelites and Israel, while under the Seventh Vial the curse will be poured out upon the Vatican and (once) Protestant United States by God's servant Gog, the self-styled Jews' colony of Russia, and upon self-styled Christians to separate the foolish virgin from the denominational harlots (Revelation 7:1-3; 17:1 – 18:20).
As John represents Christ's end-time Bride throughout the Book of Revelation, Ezekiel represents an election of the whole nation of Israel throughout his Book. In chapter 4:4-6 he lay on his left side three hundred and ninety-days representing Israel, and on his right side forty days to represent Judah. In chapter 42:20, the angel instructs Ezekiel as Israel's proxy into the revelation of the Glory. Commanded to define the sanctuary and its 144,000 worshipers, he measures a thick wall surrounding and separating the sanctuary from the profane place, which in John's symbolical temple is to be given over to the heathen, for in the holy City, new Jerusalem, nothing unclean can approach the Presence (Zechariah 14:4; Matthew 24:30-31; Revelation 21:27; 22:14-15).
The plan for Ezekiel's temple requires an area far greater than Mount Moriah where the temples of Solomon, Zerubbabel and Herod once stood. Ezekiel is translated in the Spirit by a vision into the Lord's day where his angel guide (40:1-4), Brother Branham—ultimately the Bride of Christ (Revelation 11:1-2)—meets him and measures the Temple. At the climax of his tour of instruction, which is in reality the revelation of the Feast of Trumpets to Israel by the two Hebrew Prophets of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11, Ezekiel sees the Shekinah returning by the gate whence It departed (Revelation 7:1-2).
The seven judgment angels of Ezekiel 9 are the seven-fold Spirit of God that destroyed the temple by Babylon, the head of gold, under Nebuchadnezzar whom God called "My servant" to sanctify Israel (Jeremiah 27:6); by Rome, the legs of iron under Titus, and in the near future by Rome and her globalist allies, the feet of iron and clay, under the incarnate Beast. The judgments under Rome were signified to John in Revelation 8:1 – 11:15 as the Seven Trumpet angels who pronounce judgments upon Israel for rejecting the Gospel trumpets sounded by seven earthly angels to the Church Ages through the Pentecostal feast.
Revelation 8:5, "And the angel took the censor, and filled it with fire of the altar (as in Ezekiel 10:7), and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake."
These coals from the altar of incense in the heavenly Sanctuary had sanctified and offered back to God the revelation of His Word made flesh in the Bride of each age. The evening service of the Pentecostal feast being ended, the cinders are cast down to earth, cleansing the heavenly Sanctuary of their dross. The Gentiles, having shut their ears to "sound doctrine" have rejected His 'parousia' Coming and will soon unite with the State to force Rome's mark of the beast. The fire cast down upon earth signifies judgment that will commence with the earthquake at the close of grace.
Ezekiel 9 and 10:2 type the Seven Trumpet judgments on Israel under the New Testament dispensation. Jesus came to His own and His own received Him not. The First Trumpet judgment came upon Israel a generation after they rejected Calvary, Pentecost and Paul's Message to the Ephesian Church Age. Jesus foretold this destruction in the parable of the marriage of the king's son (Matthew 22:7). Notice how the six destroying angels were preceded and controlled by the Writer with the ink horn, the sealing Angel or Holy Ghost. When Titus scattered the coals over Jerusalem in AD70 all of those who paid heed to Jesus' warning were sealed with the Holy Ghost and escaped (Matthew 24:15-21; Ezekiel 9:4).
Israel thought God was inexorably bound to the city and temple. However God doesn't dwell in buildings made with hands, but in the spoken Word Body of Christ and His Bride. Ezekiel 9 portrayed Him in the midst of the destroying angels. God was able to destroy both the city and its temple and depart. Very soon He will depart from the Gentiles, taking His Bride Home to the Wedding Supper while two Hebrew prophets "set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people" (Isaiah 11:11).
Ezekiel 10:18-19, "Then the Glory of the Lord departed from above the entrance of the temple, and stood over the cherubim. And they lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in Ezekiel's sight when they went out with the wheels beside them, and stood at the entrance of the east gate of the outer court that opened into the city; and the Glory of the God of Israel was over them".
Ezekiel, 11:22-23, "Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them; and the Glory of the God of Israel was over them. And the Shekinah rose up from over the midst of the city, and stood over the mount of Olives to the east of the city".
The departure of the Glory from the Temple to the mount of Olives symbolized the Lord's abandonment of His Temple and His people to their foes and ultimate destruction. The Shekinah was never again seen in the temple but six hundred years later took residence in the Temple of Jesus Christ when He was baptized by John in the River Jordan and became the Temple in which the Glory of God is revealed. Since Pentecost, we too are the temple of the Holy Spirit by the baptism with the Holy Ghost, for God and the soul that is joined together with God is one Spirit (I Corinthians 6:17-19).
Luke 19:37-44, "As Jesus approached Jerusalem (the city of peace) at the descent of the mount of Olives, a whole multitude of disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen; saying, Blessed be the King Who comes in the Name of the Lord: there is peace in heaven from the misery of sin; glory in the highest heaven!"
"Some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said, Master, rebuke your disciples. But He answered, I tell you that if they should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out".
"And when He was close, He saw the city, and wept loudly over it, saying, If only you had recognized your day and its Message which was to reconcile you to peace with God! but now It is hid from your eyes. For the day is coming when your enemies shall erect a palisade and surround you, and shut you in on every side (Josephus V. vi.2; xii.2), and will level Jerusalem to the earth, and dash her children to the ground; and shall not leave one stone upon another (that's why in verse 40 He said "the stones will cry out")—all because you failed to recognize the time of God's visitation through your Messiah."
Jesus foretold the coming destruction of Jerusalem under Titus in parallel fulfillment of Ezekiel 9 under Nebuchadnezzar. Those who became Christians remembered His Words:
Luke 21:20-28, "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, understand that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let those who are inside the city get out; and let not those who are in the country enter in. For these are the days of God's vengeance upon the enemies in His own house, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to them who are pregnant, and to them that nurse, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and retribution upon this people."
"And they shall fall by the edge of the sword; and shall be led away captive into all nations: (Josephus says 1,100,000 were slain and 97,000 taken prisoner to Egypt and the provinces), and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." (Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander, Titus, Chosroes, the Mussulmen, the Crusaders, Islam, the Ashkenazim, and soon Rome once more. Next Jesus describes events that will happen two thousand years in the future, at the end of the Gentile dispensation, just before God returns to Israel).
"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations (bereft of resources, on account of treacherous IMF usury, the interdependence caused by globalization, which has bankrupted the nations, destroying their sovereignty, self-sufficiency and independent viability via trade agreements like LIMA, GATT, NAFTA, APEC, the EU and Maastrecht; the depression is coming); the ocean waves roaring, (following the earthquake that sinks Los Angeles), and men's hearts failing through apprehension," in anticipation of nuclear warfare before Russia invades America: for Satan will be cast out from heaven to earth.
"Then Israel shall see the sign of the Son of man (Christ's parousia) coming in a cloud with power and great Glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh".
This Sign of Christ's parousia to Israel will be seen over the mount of Olives as described in Zechariah 14:4 and Revelation 7:2. Of course, this will be a symbol as was Acts 1:9-11, Revelation 1:7 and 10:1-4 to we Gentiles; Jesus' feet will not literally stand upon the mountain.
Luke 24:50-51, "He led them out of Jerusalem by the mount of Olives toward Bethany, and lifted up His hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while He blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried up into heaven" (Acts 1:7-12).
Jesus' departure from Jerusalem was typed by the departure of the Shekinah from the temple; It went east to the mount of Olives which is higher than Jerusalem and affords a view over the whole city (Ezekiel 11:22). The Presence of the Glory was the sign of God's favor toward Israel, whilst Its absence was the token of His extreme displeasure (Revelation 11:19; Deuteronomy 31:17-18; Hosea 9:12).
Jesus and the Shekinah will return to Israel as they departed—from the east in the Form of a Supernatural Cloud upon the mount of Olives. As for we Gentiles, It manifested above Arizona on February 23, 1963.
Ezekiel 11:8-16 foretells Israel's dispersion among the surrounding nations, and God's blessing upon those of their number who receive His correction through chastisement. It points principally to the Gentile dispensation when Israel is apostate, having rejected the Atonement. It also speaks of their regathering, and of the regeneration of the 144,000 after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week, when the Glory anoints the Most Holy.
This is Revelation 14:1-5, "I looked, and, lo, the Lamb stood on the mount Zion, (the Presence returned), and with Him 144,000, (prior to martyrdom) having His Father's Name written in their foreheads (Revelation 7:1-8). And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures (God's throne guards which type the 144,000), and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the 144,000, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women (churches); for they are virgins (typed as eunuchs for they are servants to Christ's Bride). These follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They were redeemed from among men, as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no lie: for they are without fault before the throne of God".
These are the 144,000 elect after they have been born-again, with the revelation that they were eternally a part of God, in which comfort they will lay down their lives in Judaeo-Roman Catholic martyrdom.
Ezekiel 43:1-2, "Afterward He brought me to the gate that looks toward the east." The measuring is finished in that the complete number of 144,000 elect Israelites have been gathered and sealed. Now Ezekiel is led back to the eastern gate so he may see the Glory returning to take Its rest is His ancient people. "And, behold, the Glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and His Voice was like a noise of many waters and the earth shone with His Glory".
The return of "the Glory of the God of Israel" is revealed to the 144,000 as the Glory that has enlightened "the whole earth," drawing to their King "a Bride out of every kindred, tribe and tongue" of Adam's race. Ezekiel 47 and 48 signify their actual new birth and restoration in tribal order.
Isaiah 6:3, "And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of His Glory." (See also Habakkuk 2:14).
Right now, the world is gathering to Armageddon, but "if God's rejection of the nation of Israel brought grace to the rest of Adam's race, what will Israel's acceptance of Christianity mean, but life from the dead? (Isaiah 66:8; Romans 11:15). bb971203.htm

"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. Thank you for fellowship around God's unchanging Word.
Jesus said, "I am . . . the Truth." Outside our kinsman Redeemer there is no way to eternal Life (John 14:6). All the Lord asks of man is that he believes, understanding what it is he believes, and that abides in the faith.
Satan believes and trembles but does not abide in the Truth but manipulates God's Word with the objective of usurping the Kingdom predestinated to Jesus Messiah. God destroyed the old world in the days of Noah and Satan renewed his program of dominion in Babylon whose false religion overspread the world. The Lord destroyed Israel and scattered her people when they adopted the trinitarian hoax. When Judah followed suit He destroyed His temple and sent the nation into captivity, bound under Gentile dominion until the consummation of life on earth.
In Babylon their rebellion intensified: the priesthood was replaced by rabbis, organized religion imposed over the priesthood of the home and Babylonian religious/commercial codes became a cipher to redefine the Law and the Prophets by rabbinical human reasoning against truth after the manner by which Satan seduced Eve in the Serpent(Matthew 15:9). This became the Talmud. In his foreword to the Soncino English version of The Babylonian Talmud, the Very Rev. The Chief Rabbi of the British Empire J. H. Hertz wrote, "The beginnings of Talmudic literature date back to the time of the Babylonian Exile in the sixth pre-Christian century . . ."
According to The Jewish Encyclopedia: "With the destruction of there Temple . . . Henceforth, Jewish life was regulated by the teachings of the Pharisees . . . Pharisaism shaped the character of Judaism and the life and thought of the Jew for all the future" (1905; Page 665).
Pharisaism is Judaism, which so distorted God's unchanging Word it became of no effect to the people, causing them to reject and crucify their Messiah on the hour, day, month and year foretold by Moses and Daniel. These people introduced the "Big Lie" of Babylonian trinitarian religion into Christendom when they organized the Universal Roman state religion we know as Catholicism. As Christ in Hosea called Israel and Judah whores because of their false worship, Christ in John called Roman Catholicism "the great whore" for its false worship (Hosea 1:2; I Corinthians 11:3; Revelation 17:1 – 18:20).
Whatever is not truth is a lie drawing men away from God and initiating them into the kingdom of the Devil. Lies pervade and govern society because the children of Darkness have dominion over our political leaders through party politics which they control via the Money Power as they controlled the Israelite Temple in the days of Messiah. Through our parliaments the Banksters control and write our laws and control practically every judicature via the British Accreditation Registry.
Nowadays one is ridiculed, ostracized or imprisoned if one dares question the "Big Lie" in any of its forms instituted and codified as legal, industrial or professional standards; in the usurious Babylonian fractional reserve banking system of permanent inflation and exponential debt, in our Hegelian sham democracies, and perversions of religion, common sense, medicine, good manners and language according to Lucifer's long term plan for thought control, which is contrary to God who placed each man on the basis of free moral agency (Genesis 2:16-17; Proverb 23:7).
"One of the great secrets of the day is to know how to take possession of popular prejudices and passions in such a way as to introduce a confusion of principles which makes impossible all understanding between those who speak the same language and have the same interests" (Machiavelli, 1469-1527).
In his book The Impact of Science on Society, Bertrand Russell wrote: "It may be hoped that in time anybody [humanist] will be able to persuade anybody [children] of anything, if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the state with money and equipment. . . Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten."
"It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody [children] of anything, if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment. This subject will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship. . ."
"Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rightly confined to the governing class and the populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated . . . education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they will be incapable . . . of thinking or acting otherwise than their schoolmasters would have wished."
The Impact of Science on Society was published in 1976 and that those remarks could be said in a book that would be read within the education system shows the program described was already comfortably operating. By the time students enter into higher education many are already seeing themselves as elite and enter easily into the spirit of elitism. Encouragement to this viewpoint is part of the trickery. Instead of the gifted and the educated being allowed to see that their gifts and education give them a greater responsibility, they are ego-boosted with ideas of greater importance and authority. Over recent years parents have been encouraged (and forced by economic pressure) to deliver their children to the system at younger and younger ages. The latest move is day care and baby classes while mothers go to work to pay for the deceptive conceit of feminism which has cut the male wage by 50 percent.
Here is a fine example quoted by Caldwell & Zanfagna in their book Fluoridation and Truth Decay, from writings of Edward L Bernays: "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses must be done by experts, the public relations counsels; they are the invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions . . . the most direct way to reach the herd is through the leaders. . . all this must be planned . . . indoctrination must be subtle. It should be worked into the everyday life of the people — 24 hours a day in hundreds of ways . . . A redefinition of ethics is necessary . . . the subject matter of propaganda need not necessarily be true" (p. 8).
Bernays is said to have been the father of modern Public Relations (PR) and it is interesting that he advocates control "through the leaders", which adds weight to Disraeli's observation that those normally thought of as leaders such as the political class are merely puppet leaders of the goiim or herd of "human cattle," not the people in control.
"The battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith . . . These teachers must embody the same selfless dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist preachers, for they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing the classroom instead of the pulpit to convey humanist values in whatever subjects they teach . . . preschool or large state university" (The Humanist, Jan/Feb 1983).
Truth and your potential for eternal Life are the casualty when we fail to prove all things in God's unchanging Word. Having conditioned people to feed from their controlled media and public education system rather than think for themselves and hunt for the truth, the people of the "Big Lie" are trying the frighten the "human cattle" into the Federal Reserve slaughter yard. The proposed government bailout will transfer the accumulated losses of the banksters to the taxpayer. It will bail out Goldman Sachs and other Rothschild companies but it will not fix their corrupt financial system, neither will it protect home owners from foreclosure.
The bailout rejection and subsequent 777-point collapse of the Dow Jones Index was timed to perpetrate this fraud on the US treasury ahead of the traditional US bank accounting period of early October, when accounts have to be settled for the fiscal year. The nation and the world is being taken for a ride before the disastrous state of bank liquidity is made public between the 10th and 15th of October after more and more wealth is transferred into fewer hands at cents in the dollar.
The picture in the US is ugly. Federal debt after Iraq and Afghanistan, and hurricanes like Ike and Katrina, stands at $10.6 trillion. State and Local Government debt is a further $2.2 trillion. Mortgage debt is $11 trillion and consumer debt $2.6 trillion. These four items alone total over $26 trillion—well over $100,000 for every living soul in the United States, including the millions of illegal immigrants!
That is but a fraction of the debt. Sheer gambling, in the form of derivatives, makes government and home mortgage debt look trivial. Derivatives outstanding stood at US$485 trillion—eight times global gross domestic product of $60 trillion (Satyajit Das interviewed by Jon Markman at MSN Money September 20, 2007). Today derivitves exceed US$700 trillion. Wall Street banks are staring bankruptcy in the face. They dare not even lend to each other.
With respect to the US presidential elections and the coming one world government you should read Protocol 10.

Neturei Karta: Ahmadinejad wants Peace
September 25, 2008 – Neturei Karta is a fringe ultra-Orthodox group formally created in 1935, that opposes Zionism and calls for the dismantling of the State of Israel on the grounds that they believe Jews are forbidden to have their own state until the coming of the Messiah.
During the meeting members of the delegation presented the Iranian president with a $700 silver trophy as a sign of friendship. . . Rabbi Weiss said the delegation thanked Ahmadinejad for his positive treatment of Iran's Jewish community. "We know he is not an enemy to the Jews, he has a Jewish community in his country that he honors, defends and supports." The rabbis added that Ahmadinejad "is not against the Jews, but against the Zionist regime."
Explaining the common thread between Neturei Karta and Ahmadinejad, Rabbi Weiss said, "The Iranian President understands the difference and understands that not everyone bears the Zionist outlook. . . Ahmadinejad, like us, understands the difference between Judaism and Zionism," claimed Rabbi Weiss who emphasized that the Iranian president is not looking for ways to bomb Israel. "It is the complete opposite; he wants peace and not to destroy the Jewish nation, that's what he explained to us. He is against the difficulties generated by the Zionist nation against the Palestinians," he said. . .
"Due to the Zionist leadership's denial of the Torah and diversion from its path, the warnings written in it are being ignored. This is likely to bring the Jewish nation to catastrophic outcomes as we see today and this is what we are fighting against," said Rabbi Weiss. Full story: ynetnews.com
Comment: Israel wanted to bomb Iran this year theaustralian.news.com.au. The once Christian Western nations with their Hegelian sham democracies and Zionist bankster-controlled equivocating politicians would do well to have honest God-fearing men such as Iraniam president Ahmadinejad in their place rather than our self-called hypocrites.

Olmert advocates returning Land seized in 1967 to win Peace
Jerusalem, September 29 2008 – Israel's departing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that his country will have to withdraw from "almost all" of the land it seized in a 1967 war if it wants to have peace with Syria and the Palestinians. . . "I have not come here to justify my actions over the past 35 years," he said. "For a large portion of that period, I was unwilling to look reality in the eye. . . We will maintain control over a certain percentage of the territories, but we will have to give the Palestinians a commensurate percentage of our land, because without this, there will be no peace," he said.
Mr. Olmert said that Israel also needs to let go of predominantly Arab East Jerusalem, which the Palestinian Authority hopes to make the capital of a future state, and agree on a "special creative solution" regarding sovereignty over disputed holy sites in the Old City. . . "I do not believe that there is a single reasonable person in Israel who believes that we can make peace with Syria without ceding the Golan Heights," he said. Mr. Olmert also dismissed the idea of a unilateral Israeli strike to destroy Iran's nuclear program. Though the idea is routinely floated by Israel's security establishment, Mr. Olmert said such talk is an example of "our delusions of grandeur". . . Full story: ynetnews.com
Comment: Not before time. This would match Bible prophecy.

Gathering to Armageddon – Part VII
The vision of the millennium Kingdom of Israel as seen by John in Revelation 21:1 – 22:5 is portrayed in Old Testament symbols that remain meaningful to the Christian dispensation. Ezekiel recorded his vision of the Kingdom in symbols that would remain familiar to those of the Hebrew dispensation from his day to their fulfillment in Daniel's Seventieth Week.
Ezekiel 40:1-2, "In the twentieth-fifth year of our Babylonian captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem was taken, in the same day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me in visions of God into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, on the south of which was a city".
Ezekiel sees Israel restored to the promised land. Not from their captivity in Babylon, but from captivity to sin. This is the 144,000. The "very high mountain" is Zion; the city on its southern aspect is new Jerusalem, the City and Bride of David's greater Son.
Psalm 48:1-3, "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God on His holy mountain. Beautiful for situation, the joy of all the earth, is mount Zion, the city of David. On its northern side is Mount Moriah and the Temple. God is known in her palaces as her sure defence" (Matthew 5:35).
When John first saw the vision in Revelation 1, the City was signified by the golden lamp stands that stood before God in the southern side of the sanctuary. Ezekiel saw it after the Gentile dispensation was complete when the sanctuary has been transformed into the "very high mountain" like mount Sinai wherein no profane thing may so much as touch its border (Exodus 19:12-13; Revelation 21:27; 22:14-15). Solomon's Temple signified the fifteen hundred-mile high pyramid-shaped holy mountain of God's dwelling place on earth; the golden lampstand that stood in the south is transformed into the City of God on the southern side of the mountain, while the table of shewbread that stood in the north side of the sanctuary representing Israel is here transformed into the millennium temple on the northern side of the same mountain or Kingdom.
God manifested His Presence in the Pillar of Fire and Cloud in the Holy of Holies of Solomon's Temple on Mount Moriah. His Presence led the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan (Exodus 13:21-22), covering them from the heat of day as it will cover new Jerusalem throughout eternity (Psalm 105:39; Isaiah 4:5). It became a fire by night, giving light to the Israelites but "was a cloud and darkness" to the pursuing Egyptians. In the vision of Ezekiel 10:4 and 11:23 the Presence departed the temple at the commencement of the "times of the Gentiles" and was absent from the temple restored by Zerubbabel and from the temple beautified by king Herod. Throughout this period the temple suffered frequent desecration by the heathen and a corrupt priesthood with the climax to come in Daniel's Seventieth Week when Satan, incarnate in "that man of sin," will exalt himself in the new temple atheist David Ben Gurion called "a shrine of the prophets to serve the federated union of all continents . . . the seat of the supreme court of Mankind" (Isaiah 14:13; II Thessalonians 2:1-4).
The Shekinah will return to Israel's reinstructed millennium temple built in one day without hands. Then Satan will ensure "there shall not be left here one stone upon another that is not thrown down" in martyrdom (Ezekiel 43:2; Revelation 6:11; 14:1-5, 1-13; 15:2-4). But in the regeneration, not just the temple precinct on Mount Moriah but the whole of the "very high mountain" of Zion shall be sacrosanct (Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:21-25; Matthew 19:28-30).
The deliverance and glorification of Israel will take place after the deepest humiliation: "In the last days it shall come to pass, that Mount Zion shall be established as the highest of all mountains (or head of all kingdoms), and be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, 'Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the [magnified] Law shall go forth from Zion and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem'" (Micah 4:1-2; Isaiah 2:2-4; 42:21; Revelation 21:24-27).
Nebuchadnezzar "saw a stone cut out of the mountain without human hands. It smote the image of his dream on its feet of iron and clay and broke them into pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so no trace of them could be found: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain that filled the whole earth".
In revealing the interpretation of the king's dream through His prophet, Daniel, God said: "When Papal Rome rules Satan's New World Order, the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: nor shall its sovereignty be left to other people, but it shall break and crush and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever" (Daniel 2:34-35, 44; I Peter 2:4-8).
So what is this holy mountain? It is the spoken Word of God made manifest by the virgin birth through which God had pre-eminence of one Man to declare Himself and redeem an election from Adam's race. As they come under Christ's Headship, they reflect His glory by manifesting the Word for their age, and are changed into the same image from glory for glory, in proportion to the measure of Spirit revealed to their day (II Corinthians 3:18). Once Christ's end-time Bride comes into the unity of the faith and is under His pre-eminence He will manifest the fullness of the Godhead bodily in her to impart grace for translation faith in the manifestation of the Sons of God. Then He'll take us Home. And after the Wedding Supper, we shall return to earth as that City descending from God out of heaven upon that great mountain or kingdom, restored back to Eden. This is God's threefold purpose of Colossians 1:15-29.
One of the seven angels who had the Seven Vials of wrath to pour upon the nominal church carried John, who represents us, Christ's end-time Bride, in the Spirit to that "great and high mountain" as the Spirit of the Lord transported Ezekiel in his vision (Ezekiel 40:2). This angel was William Branham (1909-1965) who showed John a preview of our return to earth as "the City of the Great King" (Malachi 4:5-6; Revelation 10:7; 17:1; 21:9-10).
God brought Ezekiel to the City, new Jerusalem, by vision. In the flesh the prophet was in Babylon, on Nisan 25, 574BC but he was caught up into the Spirit in the Lord's day to a time approaching the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week.
Ezekiel 40:3-4, "The Lord brought Ezekiel to the City of God, and there was a man, whose appearance was like brass, with a line of flax in his hand (for long measures), and a reed (for short lengths), standing in the gate. And he said, Son of man, look with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for you are brought here to see these things then declare all that you see to the house of Israel."
Now the identity of this man interests us because this is Brother Branham (Revelation 21:9-15) who reveals the mystery of God to John who represents the end-time Bride of Christ. Ultimately it is the fullness of the Word portrayed in Revelation 1:13-15 as "one like the Son of Man," which is Christ's Bride drawn out from all seven Church Ages reflecting His glory. When God expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, He set cherubim and a flaming sword at the east gate. It was via the eastern gate that Ezekiel saw the Spirit of the Lord depart Solomon's temple, and by this gate He sees Him enter His new temple for the millennium, a temple not made with hands. Christ's Bride stands in the gate of the City where in ancient times judgments were made, for God will judge the world by Christ and His Bride (Matthew 19:28; John 5:27; Acts 17:31; I Corinthians 6:2; Revelation 21:12).
Judgment is signified in Revelation 1:13-16 where the Bride is girt about the breast with Truth (Ephesians 6:14) and in Ezekiel 40:3-4. In Revelation 11:1-2, "A reed as a measuring rod (of the Absolute of the open Book of Revelation 10) is given to John (who represents the end-time Bride): and Christ said, Rise, and measure the temple of God and the altar of incense, and all (the sanctified blood Israelites) who worship inside. But omit the outer court, and measure it not; for it is given over to the Gentiles: and they shall tread the holy City under foot forty-two months." That is, for the first three-and-a-half years of Daniel's Seventieth Week in which God's Covenant in Christ is reconfirmed to Israel (Daniel 12:6-7; Revelation 12:14; 13:5).
God's standard is incarnate in Christ's end-time Bride against whom He is measuring or judging the faith and character of 144,000 Israelites who will constitute His millennial temple by the unbending reed of THUS SAITH THE LORD of the fullness of His Word by which she was called and chosen—without a Mediator.
Let's confirm the identity of this symbolic Man in Daniel 10:4-6. "In the twenty-fourth day of Nisan, as I was by the side of the great river Hiddekel, which is the Tigris; I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and saw a Man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz: His body also was a golden lustre like yellow serpentine, His face looked like lightning, His eyes were like flaming torches, His arms and His feet shone like polished brass, and the sound of His Words was like the voice of a multitude".
This is the same Being we saw at an earlier stage in the development of this prophecy. It is the heavenly Bridegroom of the future Bride of Christ afterwards revealed to John and Ezekiel as new Jerusalem, the dwelling-place of God. As Brother Branham said, this symbolic man of brass was so "like unto the Son of Man" that through the invisible marriage union the two have become one as Jesus prayed in John 17:21-26.
Revelation 21:9-10, 15, "One of the seven angels who had the Seven Vials full of the seven last plagues, came and spoke with me, saying, Come with me! I will show you the Bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. (This is the same vision as Ezekiel 40:2 only the focus of that vision was on the 144,000 Israelites in the restored theocracy of the millennium). And he who spoke with me had a golden reed to measure the City, and its gates and its wall." The golden reed is the Absolute of God's unchanging Word and signifies the eternal quality of God's elect.
The angel with the Vial was Brother Branham. Only Brother Branham's ministry could define the City which is the Bride of all Ages, the Lamb's Wife, because it restored the apostolic faith and finished the mystery of God (Malachi 4:5-6; Revelation 10:7). He preached the same revelation as Paul by which God will judge the world by Jesus Christ—"the full measure of the stature of the perfect Man" (Acts 17:31; Romans 16:25; Ephesians 4:13). When the Prophet was translated beyond the curtain of time, and met some of his Laodicean converts, he declared, "Everything Paul preached, I preached exactly the same." They replied, "We're resting on that".
Measuring the City defines the harmony and perfection of its structure. The manner in which the revelation of Christ was delivered to the saints during the Seven Church Ages, "here a little and there a little more," instructs us "that by speaking the Truth in love we may grow up into Him in all things, who is the Head, even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body to the edifying of itself in love" (Ephesians 4:15-16). We know the Word or measure of Spirit by which God called and manifested the "lively stones" chosen for each division of the City, and from the Revelation of the Seven Seals and An exposition of the Seven Church Ages can discern who was accounted worthy to pass that judgment and enter in through its gates and foundations which bear the names of Israel's patriarchs, and the twelve apostles upon whose doctrine it is built. In the renewed heavens and renewed earth the patriarchal and apostolic fathers will sit in the City gates to judge and receive tithes from the "saved." Finally, Brother Branham defined the proportions of the City wall which signifies 144,000 elect Israelites (Revelation 21:14-20). Like ourselves, they will be built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20). This is our Absolute, the golden reed of the fullness of the Word possessed by His Bride (Revelation 11:1-2).
The Vial contains the temporary judgment of his Message which is to try the nominal church who proclaimed themselves to be Christians. This trial is to separate the false group who rejected his Message from the foolish virgin who believed yet did not become one with It. We know that the revelation of Jesus Christ was given to Jesus by God after His ascension, and that He revealed it to only one man—the angel to the seventh or Laodicean Church Age who was William Branham. We know this from Revelation 1:1 and 10:1-4.
When John saw Christ's parousia in the revelation of the Seven Seals (following the close of mediation in Revelation 4 and 5), he was about to write down the hidden mystery when a voice from heaven commanded: "Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not . . . but in the days of the voice of the prophet-messenger to the Laodicean Church Age, the mystery of God should be finished" (Revelation 10:7).
The messenger to the Laodicean Age was the only man to whom Jesus revealed the Seven Seals. The angel who guided John throughout the Book of Revelation was William Branham. Like Ezekiel, John was caught up in the Spirit into the Lord's Day. In the flesh, he was on the Isle of Patmos. In the Spirit he saw visions of the future and heard the angel William Branham teach "those things which the seven thunders uttered".
Like Daniel, John could not comprehend everything signified by Old Testament symbols, and forbidden to transcribe the explanation of the voices of the seven thunders (which are the mysteries hidden under the Seven Seals), he recorded the symbols he saw and the words spoken by the angel, William Branham, "to show to God's servants things that must shortly come to pass" (Revelation 1:1).
God always foretells things before they occur and believers through the ages, unable to grasp the full significance of these symbols nonetheless held them to be true. In this last day, "time (or delay) is no longer," as the saints predestinated to the PART-Word Body of the seven Church Ages have all been baptized into their places in the Body.
Since the mystery of God is finished the end-time Bride with the fullness of the Word is without a Mediator yet she has no excuse for ignorance for she establishes her place in the Word and her position in the body by applying the mystery of the seven thunders to the symbols in the Book and fulfilled history. Hereby we identify which Scriptures and therefore which divisions of the Body are already fulfilled, and recognize our day and its Message. And since Israel is God's timepiece we can measure the lateness of the hour, the nearness of the first resurrection and Daniel's Seventieth Week.
Ezekiel 40:5 – 42:20 is God's instruction to Ezekiel for building the millennium temple. The temple is where God revealed His glory to Israel and dwelt in their midst. He now wishes to reveal His glory in the Temple of Christ and His Bride to Israel's elect 144,000, making them His millennium temple where we can dwell in love once their stony hearts have been converted into hearts of flesh. The Bride is already manifested Word and in Revelation 11:1-2 we apply the Absolute of the revealed Word to measure and choose the 144,000 who will be our personal servants.
Ezekiel's instructions show Israel that the way into the Presence where the likeness of the glory of God is revealed is by a total separation from all uncleanliness. His Book reveals how the Presence of the Spirit of the Lord departed Solomon's temple prior to its destruction by His servant, Nebuchadnezzar, and the commencement of "the times of the Gentiles." These chapters prophesy how His Presence will return to Israel in their revelation of the 'parousia' Coming of their King and High Priest Jesus Christ with His Queen to restore the kingdom to Israel after the expiration of the "Gentile dispensation." They explain how Christ's Bride is the "lively" stones from which the temple was built in seven stages signified in the seven rests or sabbaths of seven Church Ages that are the antitype of Israel's Pentecostal feast (Matthew 3:9). Individually each member of the Bride entered into the Holy of Holies through the riven veil of Christ's Body by three successive stages of grace during Israel's blindness (Ezekiel 40:24-37), and the Shekinah took its abode in each one of us as signified at the inauguration of Christ's mystic Body on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4). Revelation 11:2 demonstrates conclusively that once the Gentile dispensation has ended there will be no further opportunity for nominal or false Christians, or Gentiles of any station, including so-called Jews, to pass beyond the outer court. Under the Old Testament type they would have been evicted by the temple guards.
On the northern side of the sanctuary were tables for slaying and dividing the sacrificial beasts. Like the bodies of those beasts that were flayed and inspected for imperfections before acceptance, Israel will be sifted, purged in the fire of afflictions as silver and gold are refined, and crushed like grapes (Amos 9:9-10; Malachi 3:2-6; Revelation 14:12-20). This signifies Israel will enter the Presence through the Great Tribulation. The Temple itself stood on the east of Mount Moriah, and when Titus destroyed Jerusalem, judgment began at the sanctuary of the Temple (Ezekiel 9:6; I Peter 4:17).
During the tribulation, the beast will establish his headquarters in Jerusalem and profane a new temple to be built on Mount Moriah (Daniel 11:45; Isaiah 14:13). His judgment and the slaughter of Armageddon will also come from the north, the side of the sanctuary that held the table of shewbread that represents Israel. Under the Sixth Seal it will come upon the Christ-rejecting world in general; under the Seventh Trumpet it will afflict Israelites and Israel, while under the Seventh Vial the curse will be poured out upon the Vatican and (once) Protestant United States by God's servant Gog, the self-styled Jews' colony of Russia, and upon self-styled Christians to separate the foolish virgin from the denominational harlots (Revelation 7:1-3; 17:1 – 18:20).
As John represents Christ's end-time Bride throughout the Book of Revelation, Ezekiel represents an election of the whole nation of Israel throughout his Book. In chapter 4:4-6 he lay on his left side three hundred and ninety-days representing Israel, and on his right side forty days to represent Judah. In chapter 42:20, the angel instructs Ezekiel as Israel's proxy into the revelation of the Glory. Commanded to define the sanctuary and its 144,000 worshipers, he measures a thick wall surrounding and separating the sanctuary from the profane place, which in John's symbolical temple is to be given over to the heathen, for in the holy City, new Jerusalem, nothing unclean can approach the Presence (Zechariah 14:4; Matthew 24:30-31; Revelation 21:27; 22:14-15).
The plan for Ezekiel's temple requires an area far greater than Mount Moriah where the temples of Solomon, Zerubbabel and Herod once stood. Ezekiel is translated in the Spirit by a vision into the Lord's day where his angel guide (40:1-4), Brother Branham—ultimately the Bride of Christ (Revelation 11:1-2)—meets him and measures the Temple. At the climax of his tour of instruction, which is in reality the revelation of the Feast of Trumpets to Israel by the two Hebrew Prophets of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11, Ezekiel sees the Shekinah returning by the gate whence It departed (Revelation 7:1-2).
The seven judgment angels of Ezekiel 9 are the seven-fold Spirit of God that destroyed the temple by Babylon, the head of gold, under Nebuchadnezzar whom God called "My servant" to sanctify Israel (Jeremiah 27:6); by Rome, the legs of iron under Titus, and in the near future by Rome and her globalist allies, the feet of iron and clay, under the incarnate Beast. The judgments under Rome were signified to John in Revelation 8:1 – 11:15 as the Seven Trumpet angels who pronounce judgments upon Israel for rejecting the Gospel trumpets sounded by seven earthly angels to the Church Ages through the Pentecostal feast.
Revelation 8:5, "And the angel took the censor, and filled it with fire of the altar (as in Ezekiel 10:7), and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake."
These coals from the altar of incense in the heavenly Sanctuary had sanctified and offered back to God the revelation of His Word made flesh in the Bride of each age. The evening service of the Pentecostal feast being ended, the cinders are cast down to earth, cleansing the heavenly Sanctuary of their dross. The Gentiles, having shut their ears to "sound doctrine" have rejected His 'parousia' Coming and will soon unite with the State to force Rome's mark of the beast. The fire cast down upon earth signifies judgment that will commence with the earthquake at the close of grace.
Ezekiel 9 and 10:2 type the Seven Trumpet judgments on Israel under the New Testament dispensation. Jesus came to His own and His own received Him not. The First Trumpet judgment came upon Israel a generation after they rejected Calvary, Pentecost and Paul's Message to the Ephesian Church Age. Jesus foretold this destruction in the parable of the marriage of the king's son (Matthew 22:7). Notice how the six destroying angels were preceded and controlled by the Writer with the ink horn, the sealing Angel or Holy Ghost. When Titus scattered the coals over Jerusalem in AD70 all of those who paid heed to Jesus' warning were sealed with the Holy Ghost and escaped (Matthew 24:15-21; Ezekiel 9:4).
Israel thought God was inexorably bound to the city and temple. However God doesn't dwell in buildings made with hands, but in the spoken Word Body of Christ and His Bride. Ezekiel 9 portrayed Him in the midst of the destroying angels. God was able to destroy both the city and its temple and depart. Very soon He will depart from the Gentiles, taking His Bride Home to the Wedding Supper while two Hebrew prophets "set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people" (Isaiah 11:11).
Ezekiel 10:18-19, "Then the Glory of the Lord departed from above the entrance of the temple, and stood over the cherubim. And they lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in Ezekiel's sight when they went out with the wheels beside them, and stood at the entrance of the east gate of the outer court that opened into the city; and the Glory of the God of Israel was over them".
Ezekiel, 11:22-23, "Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them; and the Glory of the God of Israel was over them. And the Shekinah rose up from over the midst of the city, and stood over the mount of Olives to the east of the city".
The departure of the Glory from the Temple to the mount of Olives symbolized the Lord's abandonment of His Temple and His people to their foes and ultimate destruction. The Shekinah was never again seen in the temple but six hundred years later took residence in the Temple of Jesus Christ when He was baptized by John in the River Jordan and became the Temple in which the Glory of God is revealed. Since Pentecost, we too are the temple of the Holy Spirit by the baptism with the Holy Ghost, for God and the soul that is joined together with God is one Spirit (I Corinthians 6:17-19).
Luke 19:37-44, "As Jesus approached Jerusalem (the city of peace) at the descent of the mount of Olives, a whole multitude of disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen; saying, Blessed be the King Who comes in the Name of the Lord: there is peace in heaven from the misery of sin; glory in the highest heaven!"
"Some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said, Master, rebuke your disciples. But He answered, I tell you that if they should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out".
"And when He was close, He saw the city, and wept loudly over it, saying, If only you had recognized your day and its Message which was to reconcile you to peace with God! but now It is hid from your eyes. For the day is coming when your enemies shall erect a palisade and surround you, and shut you in on every side (Josephus V. vi.2; xii.2), and will level Jerusalem to the earth, and dash her children to the ground; and shall not leave one stone upon another (that's why in verse 40 He said "the stones will cry out")—all because you failed to recognize the time of God's visitation through your Messiah."
Jesus foretold the coming destruction of Jerusalem under Titus in parallel fulfillment of Ezekiel 9 under Nebuchadnezzar. Those who became Christians remembered His Words:
Luke 21:20-28, "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, understand that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let those who are inside the city get out; and let not those who are in the country enter in. For these are the days of God's vengeance upon the enemies in His own house, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to them who are pregnant, and to them that nurse, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and retribution upon this people."
"And they shall fall by the edge of the sword; and shall be led away captive into all nations: (Josephus says 1,100,000 were slain and 97,000 taken prisoner to Egypt and the provinces), and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." (Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander, Titus, Chosroes, the Mussulmen, the Crusaders, Islam, the Ashkenazim, and soon Rome once more. Next Jesus describes events that will happen two thousand years in the future, at the end of the Gentile dispensation, just before God returns to Israel).
"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations (bereft of resources, on account of treacherous IMF usury, the interdependence caused by globalization, which has bankrupted the nations, destroying their sovereignty, self-sufficiency and independent viability via trade agreements like LIMA, GATT, NAFTA, APEC, the EU and Maastrecht; the depression is coming); the ocean waves roaring, (following the earthquake that sinks Los Angeles), and men's hearts failing through apprehension," in anticipation of nuclear warfare before Russia invades America: for Satan will be cast out from heaven to earth.
"Then Israel shall see the sign of the Son of man (Christ's parousia) coming in a cloud with power and great Glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh".
This Sign of Christ's parousia to Israel will be seen over the mount of Olives as described in Zechariah 14:4 and Revelation 7:2. Of course, this will be a symbol as was Acts 1:9-11, Revelation 1:7 and 10:1-4 to we Gentiles; Jesus' feet will not literally stand upon the mountain.
Luke 24:50-51, "He led them out of Jerusalem by the mount of Olives toward Bethany, and lifted up His hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while He blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried up into heaven" (Acts 1:7-12).
Jesus' departure from Jerusalem was typed by the departure of the Shekinah from the temple; It went east to the mount of Olives which is higher than Jerusalem and affords a view over the whole city (Ezekiel 11:22). The Presence of the Glory was the sign of God's favor toward Israel, whilst Its absence was the token of His extreme displeasure (Revelation 11:19; Deuteronomy 31:17-18; Hosea 9:12).
Jesus and the Shekinah will return to Israel as they departed—from the east in the Form of a Supernatural Cloud upon the mount of Olives. As for we Gentiles, It manifested above Arizona on February 23, 1963.
Ezekiel 11:8-16 foretells Israel's dispersion among the surrounding nations, and God's blessing upon those of their number who receive His correction through chastisement. It points principally to the Gentile dispensation when Israel is apostate, having rejected the Atonement. It also speaks of their regathering, and of the regeneration of the 144,000 after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week, when the Glory anoints the Most Holy.
This is Revelation 14:1-5, "I looked, and, lo, the Lamb stood on the mount Zion, (the Presence returned), and with Him 144,000, (prior to martyrdom) having His Father's Name written in their foreheads (Revelation 7:1-8). And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures (God's throne guards which type the 144,000), and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the 144,000, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women (churches); for they are virgins (typed as eunuchs for they are servants to Christ's Bride). These follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They were redeemed from among men, as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no lie: for they are without fault before the throne of God".
These are the 144,000 elect after they have been born-again, with the revelation that they were eternally a part of God, in which comfort they will lay down their lives in Judaeo-Roman Catholic martyrdom.
Ezekiel 43:1-2, "Afterward He brought me to the gate that looks toward the east." The measuring is finished in that the complete number of 144,000 elect Israelites have been gathered and sealed. Now Ezekiel is led back to the eastern gate so he may see the Glory returning to take Its rest is His ancient people. "And, behold, the Glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and His Voice was like a noise of many waters and the earth shone with His Glory".
The return of "the Glory of the God of Israel" is revealed to the 144,000 as the Glory that has enlightened "the whole earth," drawing to their King "a Bride out of every kindred, tribe and tongue" of Adam's race. Ezekiel 47 and 48 signify their actual new birth and restoration in tribal order.
Isaiah 6:3, "And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of His Glory." (See also Habakkuk 2:14).
Right now, the world is gathering to Armageddon, but "if God's rejection of the nation of Israel brought grace to the rest of Adam's race, what will Israel's acceptance of Christianity mean, but life from the dead? (Isaiah 66:8; Romans 11:15). bb971203.htm
