Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. An especially warm welcome to our new subscribers.
"Work diligently to present yourself approved of God, a doer, not a hearer only, having no cause for the shame of not rightly dividing the Word of truth" (II Timothy 2:15). Remember, the Body of Christ is built upon a clear understanding, and application of the faith, not learning history and memorizing the letter, commendable as that is. Brother Branham said, "No true believer is any stronger and spiritually healthy and alive than his knowledge of and adherence to the pure Word of God, as seen by multitudes of examples in the Old Testament. Organization was growing apace, confirming and augmenting the death of the membership, for Holy Ghost leadership was deposed and the Word was replaced by creeds, dogmas and man-made ritual" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 113:1).
Please study the Scriptures and cross-links in every Newsletter. Prove all things to ensure you have the mind of Christ in you. Friendship with the world can make you an enemy of God. Brother Branham read Revelation 2:9, "I know thy works and thy tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."
He went on to read Hebrews 10:32-38, "But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and He That shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him." Then he said, "The mere association of kindhearted people with the true believer might well bring death in return for their kindness" (ibid 115:2-3).
As Jude warned us, "Certain people have insinuated themselves into prominence within the circle of the Message, ungodly persons long marked out for this condemnation, who pervert the grace of our God into shameless insolence and deny the Lord Jesus our God." People without the Spirit are expending the time and resources of believers, leading seekers of Truth to a dead prophet by publishing and broadcasting the "letter" of his Message on the Internet, television and radio without the "Spirit." Organization is growing apace, confirming and augmenting the death of the membership; Holy Ghost leadership is deposed and Message denominations, as wolves among the sheep peddle THUS SAITH THE LORD out of context with the written Word of God. "The mere association of kindhearted people with the true believer might well bring death in return for their kindness." We need men of God to present the faith, a clear understanding of the Message, tied to the Bible from Genesis to Revelation without fear or favour.
The Messenger and the "letter" of his Message have been made into an idol as the Jew John Calvin turned "grace" into dis-grace, as Methodism transformed "sanctification" into self-righteous works without grace, and as the Pentecostals turned worship from the Giver to the Gifts. This week we will examine Jerusalem and Israel, which for political purposes, have been made what they definitely are not.
You and I and most people are simple-minded, honest folk with no hidden agenda, but we are warned to beware of the Seed of the Serpent working in another occupation and under a different name: like Judas Iscariot, he is among the most trusted disciples of this Message (Genesis 4:14; Matthew 23:33-35; 24:24; John 8:44; II Corinthians 1:14).
Let us consider his cunning. Having conquered Russia and begun the extermination of at least 66 million nominal Christians, he invaded Germany after World War I, established Judaeo-Communism in Bavaria and Prussia, then groomed and funded Hitler to help prosecute Zionist plans which had long called for an extermination of six million Jews as the incentive needed to motivate them to colonize Palestine. The Jew Hitler was duped into segregating (NOT exterminating) and warehousing Jews in Byelorussia, so that after, and even during World War II, large numbers would be available, generally against their wishes, for relocation in Palestine, to realize the plans of the political Zionists a Rothschild 'front.' After the War, Germans who knew too much were killed, while those deemed useful were resettled in the USA.
It was not taught that way in school but investigations into tax-exempt foundations by the Reece Committee of the US Congress during the 1950s, found that the Rockefeller Organization holds the worldwide franchise on education.
After Stalin was poisoned, the Russians recovered their country from the Bolsheviks whose leaders relocated and took over the United States. One of their objectives is regain power in Russia and destroy the USA. Jeremiah 25, Ezekiel 38 and 39, Revelation 17, and Brother Branham assure us they will achieve this purpose. Although there is not a democratic country on the face of the earth, the 'hidden hand' is imposing their Hegelian sham democracy upon the Russians, a people unsuited to democracy.
The City of London wants Russia to be focused on the internal problems their subversives are causing, rather than Zionist aggression in the Middle East when the City starts its nuclear war against Iran. Shifting its pretext from Iran's alleged nuclear ambitions to guarding against the importation of weapons, Britain sent 350 of 500 troops drawndown from Iraq to guard the border with Iran, and Georgia has sent 1,200 extra troops to patrol Iraq's border with Iran. Pretext is pretense for the press, the Money Power decided on war 150 years ago. Hence Turkey has been kept out of the EU and the Kurds used to create friction with Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran, dividing Islam. These reports linked in earlier Newsletters expose the lies, deceit and disinformation presented by our alien-controlled media to form a pretext on which our alien-controlled governments will send fathers and sons, and now mothers and daughters, to fight their wars for global hegemony. Can you say "WMD"? Read the links in the story Ankara Pillories Iraqi Kurds.
Brother Branham said, "The mental faculties of men, they can't make decisions. I'm not a politician. . . Neither Democrat or Republican, they're all filthy. I'm for one Kingdom and that's the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. That's all. . . Did you ever see a bunch of puppets like we got up there now? Like that bunch of Texans we got in there. Why, they say, "Whatever the people wants. If they want Communism, we'll give them Communism. If they want integration, we'll give them integration. Want segregation, we give. . . whatever." Where is men?
Oh, God, that's like the pulpit. Where is men? men that's men that stands for a principle? Where is women that stands for a principle? Where is a church that stands for a principle? I ain't got a nickel's worth of time for a wishy-washy, give in, compromising spirit" (And Knoweth it Not, 36:286-287).
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

Mw 8.4 Sumatra Earthquake
September 12, 2007 – A Mw 8.4 earthquake off the coast of Sumatra occurred on the same subduction zone as the 2004 Boxing Day earthquake that generated the huge, devastating tsunami, but it's on a segment further south and east. That means that the tsunami's propagation pattern should be different this time — and that different places are at risk. . . Full story: shearsensibility.blogspot.com usgs.gov

Air Force Official fired after 6 Nukes fly over US
Washington, September 5, 2007 – A B-52 bomber was mistakenly armed with six nuclear warheads and flown for more than three hours across several states last week, prompting an Air Force investigation and the firing of one commander, Pentagon officials said Wednesday. Full story: msn.com
Comment: The USAF does not make such "mistakes," and only an "insider" would know the weapons were nuclear, so this is a psyop like the latest videos of a new Osama bin Laden who contradicts the deceased, original Osama bin Laden.
"It was a criminal conspiracy to launch nuclear terrorist attacks against US cities! Military investigators have confirmed to The Hal Turner Show that President Bush's personal Presidential authorization code authorized removal of six 5x150 kiloton nuclear warheads from their secure nuclear storage safes. Those Investigators also confirmed that the cruise missiles in which those warheads were placed, were mounted on the wings of the B-52 and not placed in the belly of the plane with other missiles headed for decommissioning.
When those nuclear cruise missiles arrived at Barksdale AFB, Investigators say plans were made to move those warheads off the base, allowing them to be used for what was to be a massive, nuclear "terrorist" strike against US cities. They speculate the attacks would have been blamed on Al-Qaida and used as an excuse to impose Martial Law in the US. . . In response to this incident the US Air Force says Air Combat Command has ordered all jet fighters and bombers to remain grounded on 9/14 to review safety procedures and protocol, leaving the country without air cover protection. . .
Is this another 9/11 in the making? Israeli airline El Al has "NO FLIGHTS" departing New York on Friday September 14. They aren't saying "NO SEATS AVAILABLE" but instead "NO FLIGHT"! (But do they fly on the sabbath)?
"I'll bet anyone $500.00 that when "Al Qaeda," nudge, nudge, wink, wink, as Michael Rivero says, sets off the stolen nuke that was "lost" the other day between Minot North Dakota and Barksdale Air Force Base from one of our B-52 bombers that it'll go off in a city where there is NOT a substantial Jewish population. Now why would I make this bet? I'll tell you why. IF al Qaeda were in fact real, which it isn't, and if in fact radical Muslims who hated Jews made up its membership, which they don't because it's mostly composed of Jews, it only seems reasonable to conclude that they would choose a major American city with a large Jewish population. . .

US Northern Command has announced plans for an anti-terrorism exercise called Vigilant Shield 08. The exercise which is slated to run from October 15th to October 20th is described as a way to prepare, prevent and respond to any number of national crises. . . the nature of Vigilant Shield 08 and the admission that Hurricane Katrina was used as a test laboratory shows that the government is actively preparing the military and government institutions for martial law.

CIA Director Hayden warns of New al-Qaida Attacks
New York, September 7, 2007 – In a rare public address CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden warned of new attacks by al-Qaida (sic): "Our analysts assess with high confidence that al-Qaida's (sic) central leadership is planning high-impact plots against the US homeland." Hayden's unusual public address was made at his request at the Council of Foreign Relations. . . Full story: newsmax.com
Comment: The CFR runs the US Administration, and is the otherwise non-existent "al Qaeda." Was General Hayden telling or asking al Qaeda HQ?

The Hidden Advanced Aircraft of Bush's Black Operation 911
September 11, 2006 – The most modern technology was visible on 9/11, unknowingly sponsored by the tax dollars of the American population and worst, a black program unknown even by Congress. . . Multiple advanced aerial devices were present controlling and "shepherding" the fall of the WTC towers, as well as the initial damage imposed on them. Similar vehicles were seen on the frauds performed by Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and their felon partners at the Pentagon and at Shanksville. . . Full story: 911stealth.blogspot.com.

Regulator allows Creation of Human-animal Embryos
September 8, 2007 The Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HFEA) cleared the way yesterday for its experts to consider licence applications from scientists wanting to combine the genetic material of human cells with animal eggs in order to create a new type of embryonic stem cell for research into debilitating disorders. . .
Last November, the HFEA received two applications for research licenses to carry out the cloning of animal eggs which have had 99 per cent of their genetic material removed and replaced with a full complement of human chromosomes. The resulting embryos will be almost entirely human but still part-animal. . . Full story: independent.co.uk
Comment: The original sin was miscegenation between Eve and the Satan-incarnate serpent—a man-like creature before God changed every bone in his body. The Serpent fathered Cain. Miscegenation with Cain's race is genocide to Adam's race, as God's law of redemption mandates the redeemer must be a near kinsman and the offspring of such unions will be Cainite. Miscegenation in the days of Noah almost eliminated and apostatized Adam's race, so God allowed man to destroy that world by water. Jesus said miscegenation would repeat in the days of His 'parousia;' it is mandated by the Cainites running the UN and other proponents of Lucifer's totalitarian one world government, hence we have enforced migration of inassimilable "refugees," and even the creation of a new race of hybrids. Our world will be destroyed by atomic fire.

The making of a Neo-KGB State
"THE KGB was cut off from the post-Soviet redistribution of assets. Worse still, it was upstaged and outwitted by a tiny group of opportunists, many of them Jews (not a people beloved by the KGB), who became known as the oligarchs. Between them, they grabbed most of the country's natural resources and other privatized assets. KGB officers watched the oligarchs get super-rich while they stayed cash-strapped and sometimes even unpaid. . . (The Economist, August 25th-31st 2007, p. 26).

Germany, in the Not Too Distant Future
A pious Catholic confesses to his priest: "Forgive me, holy father, last week I was denying the Holocaust twice."
"Go in peace, my son, and sin no more."
The priest reads a new German Bible to his parishioners: Matthew 12:31-32, "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the Holocaust denial shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever shall deny the Holocaust before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in heaven".
Matthew 26:34-35, "Jesus said unto Peter, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny the Holocaust thrice. Peter said unto Him, Though I should die with Thee, yet will I not deny the Holocaust. Likewise also said all the disciples".
I John 2:22, "Who is a liar but he that denieth that the Holocaust happened? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son".
Luke 20:27, "Then came to Him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there was any Holocaust; and they asked him . . ."
II Peter 2:21, "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Holocaust, and bring upon themselves swift destruction".
Comment: Jesus said, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. . . after you have known God, or rather are known of God, how is it that you allow Christ-hating sinners to turn you back to the weak and beggarly elements whereunto you choose to be souls in prison now?"

Jerusalem and Israel
Brother Branham said, "We'll never do any good with politics. It's rotten. God's idea of having a king, a righteous king, is right. But politics just simply spread out; you can buy anything out: cheat, lie, steal, everything else. As I said a few Sundays ago: and look where you're at, see, nothing but just a crooked mass of everything. But a righteous king can make his own laws. And you can kill a man; if you're known good in politics, that's all right; you get out of it. See? . . . Democracy is a good idea, but it won't work. Just like Communism, all things in common. It sounds good, but it won't work. No. God's way of having a king like David was right. And you got one mind centered over. . . Just like one leader in a bunch of geese or so forth. You can't get two or three of them. Then you mess them all together, you come up with any kind of an idea. . ." (And Knoweth it Not, p. 7:44-45).
God has never dealt with an organization, which is why He has never dealt with the denominations. They cannot follow His Word because they are controlled by a man-made system. God only deals with one individual at a time. That's why He doesn't deal with your organization; He deals with you. He never even had two prophets at the same time: one man. God can get one man in His hand. Two men have three different ideas. God works with one man. There was one Elijah, followed by Elisha, then John the Baptist, one Jesus, and so forth, down to one Luther, one Wesley, and one Brother Branham.
The Devil and his children have spent thousands of years destroying monarchies by every conceivable means from regicide, treachery, usury, intermarriage, invasion, internal rebellion, republicanism, Hegelian sham democracies, international law, and finally, communism. The most secure form of national government is a good king. It is far more difficult for the enemy of the people to subvert a nation ruled by a king whose Absolute is God's unchanging Word than it is for him to usurp control over a nation ruled by a committee. Yet that's where nations stand in this day of elected tyrannies; parliaments are a deliberate confusion of voices sold to the alien lobbyist who best serves the lust of their eye, the lust of their flesh and their pride of life. Such characterless pawns are patronized by the 'hidden hand' to create chaos out of which the enemy of God and man can create Lucifer's totalitarian new world order, ruled by his King-Despot.
According to Protocol 17:4, "The king of the Jews will be the real pope of the universe, the patriarch of the International Church." Some people labour under the strong delusion that Rome is the enemy of the International Jews, whereas she is their creature, partner and the mutual enemy of Israel today as she was in the days of our Lord. In concert they will govern Lucifer's one world government for three and a half years; then Rome will break their agreement and they will blast Vatican City State and the United States off the face of the earth (Daniel 7:15-26; 9:27; 11:36-45; Luke 21:24; Revelation 13:1-10; 17:11-14).
Protocol 3:13-21 states, "We have demonstrated that progress will bring all the GOYIM to the sovereignty of reason. Our despotism will be precisely that; for it will know how, by wise severities, to pacificate all unrest, to cauterize liberalism out of all institutions.
When the populace has seen that all sorts of concessions and indulgences are yielded it, in the same name of freedom it has imagined itself to be sovereign lord and has stormed its way to power, but, naturally like every other blind man, it has come upon a host of stumbling blocks. It has rushed to find a guide, it has never had the sense to return to the former state and it has laid down its plenipotentiary powers at our feet. Remember the French Revolution, to which it was we who gave the name of "Great": the secrets of its preparations are well known to us for it was wholly the work of our hands.
Ever since that time we have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment to another, so that in the end they should turn also from us in favor of that King-Despot of the blood of Zion, whom we are preparing for the world.
At the present day we are, as an international force, invincible, because if attacked by some we are supported by other States. It is the bottomless rascality of the GOYIM peoples, who crawl on their bellies to force, but are merciless towards weakness, unsparing to faults and indulgent to crimes, unwilling to bear the contradictions of a free social system but patient unto martyrdom under the violence of a bold despotism — it is those qualities which are aiding us to independence. From the premier-dictators of the present day, the GOYIM peoples suffer patiently and bear such abuses as for the least of them they would have beheaded twenty kings.
What is the explanation of this phenomenon, this curious inconsequence of the masses of the peoples in their attitude towards what would appear to be events of the same order?
It is explained by the fact that these dictators whisper to the peoples through their agents that through these abuses they are inflicting injury on the States with the highest purpose — to secure the welfare of the peoples, the international brotherhood of them all, their solidarity and equality of rights. Naturally they do not tell the peoples that this unification must be accomplished only under our sovereign rule.
And thus the people condemn the upright and acquit the guilty, persuaded ever more and more that it can do whatsoever it wishes. Thanks to this state of things, the people are destroying every kind of stability and creating disorders at every step.
The word "freedom" brings out the communities of men to fight against every kind of force, against every kind of authority even against God and the laws of nature. For this reason we, when we come into our kingdom, shall have to erase this word from the lexicon of life as implying a principle of brute force which turns mobs into bloodthirsty beasts.
These beasts, it is true, fall asleep again every time when they have drunk their fill of blood, and at such time can easily be riveted into their chains. But if they be not given blood they will not sleep and continue to struggle".
This is portion of the protocol for world hegemony; this plan has been coming to pass with precision since the nineteenth century. The Old and New Testaments inform us Satan will soon move his earthly headquarters from Rome to Jerusalem; this is also the plan announced by his children who would rule the world. According to Scripture, Jerusalem will be ruled by a non-Semitic, anti-Semitic people unto the consummation. Jesus prophesied that in our day, after the restoration of the state of Israel, Jerusalem would be "spiritually as Sodom and Egypt," because it is a city that revels in the abominations for which God destroyed Sodom and her people; a city in bondage to the sin of a Talmudic religion that makes the Word of God of none effect (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 15:1-9; Revelation 11:1-2, 8).
Vatican City is a Satanic impersonation of Jerusalem in that it invites believers to make pilgrimage for worship, yet after Calvary there are no more Jerusalems because when Israel sacrificed her Messiah, the real Lamb of God who was Kinsman Redeemer for all of Adam's race took away the sins of all who believe on His Name wherever they live. God then ceased dealing with Israel as a nation and turned to individual Gentiles throughout the world in fulfillment of His promise to Abraham (Genesis 12:3; 17:5; Romans 10-11).
The Roman Catholic counterfeit church is a creature of apostate Jews and the Roman State, hence the oxymoron "Judaeo-Christian" is appropriate to her religion (Revelation 2:9, 13). Never Christian at any time she is a tool of Lucifer designed to usurp and destroy Christ's "little flock," but the elect of God cannot be deceived on the revealed Word of God. The Roman church, which claims dominion over heaven, earth and the mythical Purgatory, has for centuries plotted to rule earth from Jerusalem. It is understood that unbeknownst to himself, Mohammed was chosen and groomed by Rome to become an Arab leader who would unite Ishmael's non-Catholic Arabs and ultimately capture Jerusalem for the Great Whore.
After Mohammed's death the nomadic tribes began joining forces in the name of Allah, and the Vatican helped finance their armies on condition they conquer Jerusalem for the Pope. But Omar took Jerusalem in AD638 and built the Dome of the Rock on the temple site leveled by God's servant, General Titus. Islam became powerful and within a hundred years had built an empire that stretched from Northern Spain to India, and determined to conquer not only Africa, but Europe as well. Islam's rapid spread engulfed the Persian Sassinid Empire, much of the Byzantine Empire, and threatened Western Europe until Charles Martel's victory at the Battle of Tours in 732. From 1096 to 1254 the Roman Catholic church fought crusades against Islam for sovereignty over Jerusalem.
Three Babylonian counterfeit religions require pilgrimage to a "holy" city. Judaism, a pagan Babylonian impersonation of Yahweh Torah, called Pharisaism in the days of Messiah; Roman Catholicism, a Jewish 'front' impersonating the Temple worship and pagan Babylonian impersonation of Christianity organized at the first Nicea Council of AD325; and Islam, which is a Roman Catholic 'front' incorporating the same pagan Babylonian symbols based on the same false trinity of gods. Like Rome, Islam is heavily infiltrated by Jews as Kamal Ataturk and the Jewish family of Saud (Wahibism).
The UN General Assembly Resolution 181 of 1947, a resolution which Israel accepted, called for Jerusalem to be considered a 'corpus separatum' under the Trusteeship Council of the UN. And in 1993, Shimon Peres promised to hand over the holy sites of Jerusalem to the Pope with the unwritten understanding that the Vatican would receive political authority over the Old City of Jerusalem by the end of the millennium. Yassar Arafat accepted the agreement in behalf of the Palestinians. Essentially Jerusalem is to become an international city overseen by the Holy See, but we have to wait until the close of the Gentile dispensation when earthquakes sink Los Angeles, split the mount of Olives, demolish the Dome of the Rock, and precipitate the "hot" stage of the present World War III. (See Newsletter #059).
Jerusalem, which will be destroyed with the world, means absolutely nothing to Christians beyond a historical relic. The Roman Catholic church, political Zionists and Islam are the only groups scrambling for Jerusalem, and for unholy purposes. God does not dwell in a temple made with hands but in the Temple of Christ's Body, the elect Church, His many-membered Bride of all Ages. We are "the holy city, new Jerusalem, who will come down from God out of heaven, prepared as a Bride adorned for her Husband" after the consummation of life on earth. Read what Brother Branham taught in The Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel's Visit, and what Jesus taught in Revelation 21 and 22.
It is time for every Christian to realize "we are the chosen race, the royal priesthood, the holy nation, God's purchased possession; that we should show forth the praises of He who has called us out of darkness into His marvelous Light" (I Peter 2:9). Why would anyone bearing the Name and revelation of Christ defer to apostate non-Semitic anti-Semitic self-styled Jews who despise the Savior of Adam's race? Is the promise of God's Word void? Leave that wicked Jerusalem to the Jews and get your Gentile house in order, before God turns His face toward Israel.
What does the land of Israel mean to Christians? Israel's one (1) significance for Christians is that it is God's timepiece, beyond that Israel means nothing whatsoever! Since He deals with Israel as a nation His Covenant is of no effect outside the Promised Land. He restricted His dealings in the redemption of Israel and Jerusalem to precisely 490 years of 360 days commencing from Nisan 14, 445BC, the day on which Artaxerxes commanded Nehemiah to restore and rebuild the city of Jerusalem (Daniel 9:25; Nehemiah 2:1-8). He divided these years into four periods. He allowed 49 years in which to restore the wall and public works. In Jerusalem on the day and hour 434 years later, Israel murdered her Messiah. Consequently, God did not deal with the nation in redemption but in judgment for almost 2,000 years but turned to we Gentiles to call out a Bride for His Messiah, thus fulfilling His promise to Abraham, whose name means "Father of the Gentiles." In this period Rome destroyed the Temple, dispersed the Israelites of Judea, and at the close of the Gentile dispensation will covenant with her Jewish masters for the outstanding 7 years, breaking her agreement midway through the week of years.
Matthew 24:3, "As Jesus sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came asked Him three questions: When shall the Temple be thrown down? what shall be the sign of your 'parousia' coming, and what will be the sign of the end of the ages?"
Jesus explained how the Temple will be destroyed subsequent to the sighting of the regimental standards of Rome's armies on the mount of Olives (Matthew 24:15-21). The sign of Christ's 'parousia' Coming to Israel will be the appearance of the Angel of the Lord veiled by clouds of glory at the manifestation of the Seventh Trump (Matthew 24:30-31) as it appeared to we Gentiles over Arizona on February 28, 1963. However it is their third question that most interests us: the sign of the end of the ages and the imminent close of the Gentile dispensation, heralding the day of the Lord and the commencement of Daniel's Seventieth Week.
Matthew 24:32-34, "Now learn a parable of the fig tree (Israel); When its branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, (or is restored to statehood) you know that summer is nigh (when the firstfruits of God's planting will be harvested or gathered Home): likewise, when you see all these things, know that the end of man's day is near, even at the doors. Assuredly, the generation that witnesses the restoration of Israel in 1948 will not expire until all these things be fulfilled".
The question concerning the revival of the "fig tree" fixes this prophecy in the chronicle of history against which we can estimate the time of the Seventh Trump and the first resurrection based on the fact that the youngest of those who were at the age of accountability when Israel was restored in unbelief will be seventy-two in 2008. Jesus Messiah has promised many of these will live into the time of "Jacob's trouble," but because of their advanced age, having lived their three-score years and ten, He must call His end-time Bride Home very soon, and fulfill the last seven years of Daniel's Seventy Weeks. Thus Israel has fulfilled its one relevance to Christians, that of God's timepiece.
Beyond the ongoing manifestations of prophecy indicating the imminence of day of the Lord, Israel has little relevance to Christians. We might anticipate public statements on the planned transfer of Jerusalem to Roman authority; news of two Hebrew ministers gathering a following in Israel; progress in the planned destruction of the US economy within and a freefalling dollar without; tectonic activity in Colombia, the USA and in the Pacific; a uniting of the world's religions with the rise to power of the Roman Catholic church and the World Council of Churches in the USA; a unionization within the circle of this Message to further 'squeeze' out or ostracize Christ's "little flock" standing in the faith of Jesus Christ; an extension of 'thought control' to the Internet (by privatization), from education, media, religion and entertainment, and finally, Brother Branham's prophecy: "this great nation is going to strike a war that's going to blow it to bits . . . I saw the United States as one smoldering, burnt-over place. It will be near the end" (The Laodicean Church Age, p. 501:43; Hybrid Religion, 6:4).
Brother Branham said, "Don't take any foolishness. Don't imagine anything. Stay right there until this inside of the inside is anchored to the Word, that you're right in Christ. . . 'Cause we're in the most deceiving age that we ever lived in. It would deceive the very elected if it was possible, because they have anointing. They can do anything like the rest of them. Clean your lives up; pay your debts; owe no man. . ." (And Knoweth it Not, p. 36:279-280).
The state of Israel was restored by Banksters desirous of gaining control of Jerusalem to impersonate prophecy in order to garner support for world hegemony from a superstitious, religious mob. They worked behind the Zionist 'front' of Marxist, fascist non-Semitic self-styled Jews, blackmailing Britain with the Balfour Declaration as they had blackmailed President Wilson. Their motto is, "By Way of Deception Thou shalt make War," for in the minds of Cabalistic Jews, evil is good, and they celebrate the fact that they formed an apartheid "Jewish State" in Palestine by spilling oceans of blood. This racist State continually troubles the world and consumes vast resources that could otherwise be put to productive purposes. Ex-Prime Minister Menachem Begin, terrorist, murderer and war criminal, long ago confessed Israel's cowardly treachery and deceit of her neighbours in the Six-Day War. Despite the lies of propagandists, the restoration of Israel was not God's handiwork nor was it accomplished by or for the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but by their enemy (Genesis 27:39-41; Malachi 1:1-5), which explains why the Hebrew and other Semitic inhabitants have either been killed, exist under apartheid conditions, or in exile. Israel will be ruled by a non-Semitic, anti-Semitic people until the consummation (Daniel 9:27; Luke 21:24; Revelation 11:1-2, 8). However, "All things work together for good to those who love God, who are the called according to His purpose. For those He foreknew He did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate He also called: and whom He called, He also justified: and whom He justified, He has also glorified" (Romans 8:28-30). The enmity, deceit and cold-blooded murder involved in stealing the land of Israel will rest upon the shoulders of the Edomites while the blessings will accrue to the elect Sons of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who return to the Land for redemption after the Seventh Trump.
Those most interested in the State of Israel today are:
Mishpuka: criminal elements, from thieves, pimps in the white slave trade, contract killers and manufacturers of illicit drugs, to Prime Ministers and international fraudsters using the state as their "city of refuge" from justice. (As Hitler predicted in Mein Kampf, written in 1924).
Jews as a group, deceived for 2,500 years by corrupt and ignorant leaders, their own slothfulness in pursuit of truth, and the myopic hyperethnocentric conceit of a perceived racial superiority which has neither Scriptural nor biological basis, but is generally the antithesis of truth.
Religious fanatics of all persuasions among Jews, Yahwists, Christians, and Muslims.
Well-meaning "do-gooders," NGOs, and tourists.
Hebrews and Palestinians, whose land and homes were stolen by Britain and given to the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews.
German, US and other nominally Christian taxpayers who bankroll the country.
The 'hidden hand' of Illuminist Banksters.
The Judaeo-Roman Catholic church.
Deceived people in the circle of this Message who have failed to obey Brother Branham's instruction: "Don't take me for what I say, but for what I mean," and neglect to take His Message back to Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. "Without the Spirit" these will quote the "letter" verbatim right into the tribulation.
A number of genuine blood Israelites, not Jews, who will return to Israel mainly from what were the ancient empires of Parthia and Assyria in hopes of redemption after the end of the Gentile dispensation, among them will be 144,000 elect children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
This prophecy introduced "the times of the Gentiles":
Jeremiah 25:8-11, "Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Because you have not heard My Words, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years".
Brother Branham said, "I prophesy that this whole nation shall become desolate. God shall punish this nation for her sins. If God would not let Israel, His elected, Abraham's seed, who He made the covenant and promise with, if He would not let them get by with wrong doing, though they were religious to the core. . . but because of the immorals and things among them, and God made them reap what they sowed, so shall we get it. . . (In other words, "Jeremiah, I've give you this message. Don't set still. Don't stay in one place, but prophesy to all the nations." Do you follow it? "Prophesy to all the nations. Show My signs and wonders, and let them know that I'm coming to do this"). . . Do you see the history repeating itself?" (Gabriel's Instructions to Daniel, p. 19:83-85). In Revelation 18:21-24 the same words of condemnation are prophesied over the United States of America.
This prophecy will introduce Daniel's Seventieth Week, where God turns back to Israel, not Jews, to fulfill the last seven years of "the times of the Gentiles":
Jeremiah 3:11, 18, "Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause My anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, and I will not keep anger for ever. . . In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers" (The Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel's Visit, p. 74:128; and see Newsletter #479; also Isaiah 11:11-12; 27:13).
The Gospel will return to Israel at that time in a revival that will draw a hundred and forty-four thousand into the Kingdom of God. The Angel of the Lord will come from the east with the Seal of the living God. He has sent a persecution here and a persecution there, and will yet drive Israel back into the Promised Land for redemption. So you see, Jerusalem and Israel have no significance to we Christians, but they are central to Israel's redemption. There two Hebrew prophets will reveal Christ to Israel under the anointing and with the authority which endued Moses and Elijah, and Brother Branham said, Jews remaining in the United States will be unable to escape (C.O.D. p. 97:235). "We Christians, according to God's promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness" (II Peter 3:13). We are Spiritual Israel, the new Jerusalem who will rule with Jesus Messiah throughout eternity. nl493.htm

For Conscience' Sake
Bible Believers' Newsletter #492
"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. We are pleased you could join us in fellowship around God's unchanging Word in this ever-changing world.
America's Jewish King George II whose evil has eclipsed former Jewish President and Illuminus F. D. Roosevelt, is in Sydney for the APEC summit. Prime Minister John Howard is his "Uncle Joe," as FDR called Jewish Premier Stalin, whose name means "man of Steel," George II's moniker for Mr. Howard. As they say in show biz, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Israel types the United States. She expropriated the Serpent's seed from the land, rejecting the theocracy for a monarchy that began with noble kings but degenerated to Ahab and his Jezebel. The United States seized Indian lands, rejecting the monarchy for a republic that began with noble presidents but degenerated into a Hegelian sham democracy ruled by an elective tyranny that will end under the Jezebel of Revelation 17:1-6. Israel assimilated with the Edomites and by the time of Messiah's first Coming these imposters ruled the throne and held the chief political and religious offices. They were God's ministers of wrath to blind all but an election of natural Israelites by Talmudic traditions and crucify the Son of Man so the blessing of Abraham could pass to we Gentiles to fulfil the prophecy of Genesis 12:3.
Over the past century and a half the United States assimilated with the Edomites (Matthew 24:37) so that by the time of Messiah's second or 'parousia' Coming these imposters ruled from the White House and held the chief political and religious offices. They are God's ministers of wrath to blind all but an election of spiritual Israelites by Talmudic (Judaeo-Christian) traditions whereby they shall crucify to themselves afresh the Son of God so that the blessing of Abraham can pass from we Gentiles back to an election of Israelites, not Jews, to fulfil prophecy (Daniel 9:24, 27; Zechariah 13:7b-9).
In this issue we will study Romans 13 which explains how God uses "children of the Devil" to punish evildoers and chastise His elect to instill righteousness of character. Hebrews 12:8, "If you receive no correction, in which all sons share, then you are bastards, and not sons." We will see how God allows the "children of the Devil" to systematically misrepresent this Scripture in order to punish evildoers posing as "angels of Light," or ministers of the Gospel.
"For conscience sake," as Paul wrote, we have been stressing the importance of "speaking the truth in love, that we may grow up into Christ in all things, who is our Head. . . the way, the truth, and eternal Life. 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, making increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love." My Brother and Sister, the Body of Christ is not joined together by lies, neither does it edify itself by lies. If we belong to Christ we must "purge out the old leaven".
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

Independent Historian Unveils Cabalist Conspiracy
September 1, 2007 David Livingstone, 41, author of "Terrorism and the Illuminati — A Three Thousand Year History" says Cabalists determined to be God have hijacked mankind. "The Cabala states that God created man to know Himself. . . Cabalists take this to mean they can usurp the role of God. They don't have to meet an absolute moral standard first."
Livingstone says that all occult movements originate in the Cabala (which dates to 6th century BC Babylon). Cabalism is a Jewish heresy because it does not uphold the universal moral standards enunciated by Moses.
Livingstone maintains that most Illuminati bloodlines, including European royalty, are heretical Jews, crypto Jews and wannabe Jews. ("Crypto Jews" are Jews who usually pretend they are Christians, Muslims or other religions). Livingstone traces the genealogies of these Khazar bloodlines, which include the Rothschilds, the Hapsburgs, the Sinclairs, the Stuarts, the Merovingians, the Lusignans, and the Windsors.
"The great secret of history is this story of the ascent of heretical Cabalists to world power," says Livingstone. "Ordinary Jews and people in general have no idea how they are being manipulated. . . These Cabalists believe Lucifer is the true God. They care nothing for their own nations. Their whole aim in life is to humiliate and degrade mankind, and prove to God that the human experiment is an abject failure. They are achieving this through their control of education, the media and government". . . Full story: savethemales.ca

Dutch Bishop urges Faithful to call God Allah
August 15, 2007 – A Roman Catholic Bishop in the Netherlands has proposed people of all faiths refer to God as Allah to foster understanding, stoking an already heated debate on religious tolerance in a country with one million Muslims.
Bishop Tiny Muskens, from the southern diocese of Breda, told Dutch television on Monday that God did not mind what he was named and that in Indonesia, where Muskens spent eight years, priests used the word "Allah" while celebrating Mass.
"Allah is a very beautiful word for God. Shouldn't we all say that from now on we will name God Allah? . . . What does God care what we call him? It is our problem."
A survey in the Netherlands' biggest-selling newspaper De Telegraaf on Wednesday found 92 percent of the more than 4,000 people polled disagreed with the bishop's view, which also drew ridicule. The bishop, who is retiring in a few weeks, added he did not expect his ideas to find immediate acceptance. He expects it could take 100 or 200 years. Bishop Muskens has previously defied the Vatican by calling for the acceptance of married priests and the use of condoms against aids. He has also said that those who are poor may steal bread.

Comment: This bishop who has never read a Bible:
Acts 4:12, "There is no other Name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved".
Ephesians 5:19-20, "Speak to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ".
Colossians 3:17, "Whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him".

Countries buying up the Planet
For Le Monde, Frederic Lemaitre observes: "For two decades, globalization has rhymed with liberalization and privatization. That's over, or very nearly so. Tomorrow, by a strange reversal of the situation, globalization will rhyme more and more with nationalizations. With one important new detail: companies will no longer be the property of the State in which they were created, but will belong to the planet's new bankers: notably China, Russia, Norway and the Gulf States."

Now, take a look at this...
101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Pentagon "Three-Day Blitz" Plan for Iran
September 2, 2007 – The Pentagon has drawn up plans for massive airstrikes against 1,200 targets in Iran, designed to annihilate the Iranians' military capability in three days. . . Alexis Debat, director of terrorism and national security at the Nixon Center, said last week that US military planners were not preparing for "pinprick strikes" against Iran's nuclear facilities. "They're about taking out the entire Iranian military," he said. . . "Whether you go for pinprick strikes or all-out military action, the reaction from the Iranians will be the same." It was, he added, a "very legitimate strategic calculus". Full story: truthout.org
Comment: A "very legitimate strategic calculus" conceived in the mind of Lucifer and inspired to his children.

For Conscience' Sake
Romans 13 should be read in conjunction with chapter 12, in which Paul recognizes the rights of the world, and defines the lawful fellowship of Christians with the world and our separation from its ungodliness by presenting our life a living sacrifice in worship of God—from which the world has fallen and corrupted itself. In chapter 13 Paul defines our conduct towards the State and the world by moral obligation without coercion.
Romans 13:1-6, "Let every one render voluntary obedience to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God. Whoever therefore resists the power, so that they rebel against its authority is resisting God's appointment. Such resisters shall receive judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. You do not wish to fear the authority, do you? Do what is good, and you will receive its approval: for it is God's agency for your good. But if you do what is wrong, be afraid; for it does not wear the sword in vain: it is God's agent to bring deserved punishment upon the evildoer. Therefore obey the laws, not to avoid punishment only, but also for conscience' sake. Pay your taxes too, for the same reasons, so that government workers can continue doing God's work, serving you".
God made man in His own image—our souls are a spirit as God is a Spirit, and after His likeness—or character. However, we are not born with character: character is not a gift but a victory. By grace through faith, God is imputing and imparting the character of Jesus Christ into His Bride as she reflects the glory of her Husband. Our obedience to the authorities is not to be through fear or blind servility, but that of a rational, principled character in the interests of good order and the common weal, for civil government is necessary, of Divine appointment, and this principle respects the office, not the character of the office holder.
Peter said, "Be subject for the Lord's sake to every institution ordained for men, whether it be to the king as supreme, or to his officers, as sent by him to bring criminals to justice and to encourage the well-behaved. For this is God's will, that by behaving well you should silence the ignorance of foolish men. Live as free from the law, yet without using your liberty to cover wickedness, but as freedom to serve God's will at all times. Treat everyone with respect. Love the brotherhood. Reverence God, and honour the king" (I Peter 2:13-17).
As obedience is demanded because of God's appointment, then it is not demanded in matters contrary to God's appointment. When the civil power contradicts God's Word and His Voice in our conscience, it then contradicts and subverts its own authority. Paul asserts the Higher Law as the basis for the lower authority, thereby elevating the lower authority nearer the Divine Law. Obedience to de facto rulers as a Christian duty must lead to true civil freedom, since it alone makes the individual truly free as he is above the law. Therefore it is his duty to obtain, by lawful means, the removal or alteration of an unjust or unreasonable law, for all powers of men must be in accord with the highest power, the moral sense." And the elevation of the moral sense of individuals will accomplish vastly more than revolutions. Thus popular government when, and only when, the people are permeated by Christian principle, contains in itself the restraint to revolutionary excess.
The sentiments of the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence appear to reflect the inspired Words of St. Paul, and need to be the continuing guide to political action against the elective tyranny of aliens and treasonous elites that have usurped the reins of power throughout our (once) Christian world, and whose forebears as unelected tyrants in centuries past suppressed the heathen and the poor:
"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is in the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security".
This is now impossible as the people are not permeated by Christian principle, they are apostate, and having departed from knowing and worshipping God in Spirit and in Truth, the nominally Christian world is overcome by the spirit of Laodicea, or Judaeo-Communism. There is no way back, because when Christ opened the Seventh Seal, the delay necessitated by His mediation for the ignorance of the Church Age saints was over and He began to gather together into one glorified Body those who are in theophany with we who are alive and remain (I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 8:1; 10:6; Ephesians 1:10; I Thessalonians 4:14-16). Calling the wise and foolish virgin out from Rome and her (once) Protestant daughters, He has allowed His wife just one generation to adorn Herself in the unity of the faith, for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation (Matthew 25:6; Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 15:46-57).
As Judea assimilated with the Edomites, making the Word of God of no effect, their apostate nation rejected Messiah's first Coming, the nominal church has united with their daughters and their gods, and is rejecting Messiah at His second Coming (Deuteronomy 7:2-6; Matthew 24:37; Romans 11:32). Now Israel types the United States: as God sent Nebuchadnezzar and Imperial Rome to desolate Judea, He will send Judaeo-Communist Russia to invade mainland USA, then bring her under submission to a Judaeo-Roman one-world religious government.
This was Satan's plan centuries before Cabot and Columbus "discovered" the New World, which was known to the ancients and to the high powers as attested by ancient maps. Suppressed archaeological discoveries have uncovered evidence of advanced civilizations and even giants in the New World. The Seal of the United States bears the eye of Osiris. The god that favours the undertakings of the conspirators looks approvingly from within the Pythagorean triangle, the symbol of science; and beneath the pyramid is a banner, which translates to "A New Order of the Ages," an order of science and knowledge as opposed to what the adepts regard as Christian superstition and fear (Daniel 12:4, 10).
American citizens have not exercised diligence in guarding their own republic but used their liberty to pursue frivolous, sensual pleasures. Like the prodigal son they are prisoners en route to serfdom under alien rule within their own homeland by the demons of all seven Church Ages (Matthew 12:38-45). A select group of families has controlled America from before the War of Independence, creating the nation through Judaeo-Freemasonry as testified by the Seal of the United States, and American citizens have unknowingly financed Communism with the profits of tax-exempt foundations. Those who have resisted the law "shall receive judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad".
America's Absolute was once God's unchanging Word, today it is the Judaeo-Communist United Nations. G. Edward Griffin explains that the United Nations is a platform by which Communist agents could infiltrate the US government, which is why it has been located in the world Jewish capital, New York City. "For many years the United States has been financing and supporting the expansion of international Communism around the world through measures which have been presented to the American people as ways of fighting Communism. . . President after president has told us that we have to send billions to various Communist and pro-Communist countries in order to win them away from Soviet domination. We have shipped them military equipment, trained their officers in our military schools, sent them machine tools, built whole factories and power dams for them, and sold them subsidized wheat. Our political leaders have shrewdly borrowed the money from our children and grandchildren".
The late Robert Welch of the Birch Society wrote: "The American government had saved the Soviet regime from financial collapse in 1933 and given its prestige and credit, the vital hypodermic injection, by recognition. The American government had saved the Soviet regime from destruction by Hitler’s armies, in 1942 and 1943, through intervention with both supplies and military force. The American government had made possible all of the postwar expansion by the Soviet empire, by acquiescence and frequently by collaboration in the Soviet subjugation of other nations. . . The sad truth is that this tyranny was actually saved, in this period of great vulnerability, by just one thing; by the inauguration, on January 20, 1953, of Dwight David Eisenhower as [Jewish] President of the United States" (The Politician).
Erik Fortman writes, "This incursion of redness into our country is methodically and continuously inculcated into our culture. . . we are following, to lesser or greater degrees, the entire platform of the Communist Party. I have no answers. This insidiousness pervades every waking moment of American life. Griffin informs us that Communist agents inside our government asked the UN to be headquartered in New York, on land donated by a Rockefeller, so that the enemy could better infiltrate our halls of power. That is what has happened. The Reagan incident, with the Berlin Wall, was a ruse. When finally Communists—in the guise of democratic socialism—had taken control of the American government, they simply allowed us to think we had won. Later, much later, we will be able to look upon the shattered battlefields of history, and one thing will become startlingly clear. Today, we live in a world of American Communism" (Webs of Power: Government Agencies, Secret Societies, & Elite Legacies).
This confirms what God revealed to Brother Branham in the third of seven consecutive visions in 1933. Dr. Peter Beter's audio letters explain how Bolsheviks resettled in the United States and were given senior bureaucratic positions through Rockefeller influence usurped their control of the nation. The "peace offensive" launched in 1956 by Jewish Premier Nikita Khrushchev, inaugurated the strategy of "peaceful co-existence" to "put the bourgeoisie to sleep," so that the final take-over of the entire world by the Communists would succeed through the element of surprise—an objective which clearly could not be gained by a conventional military confrontation.
What ever form of government authority is ruling, it is not a servant of the people, nor does its authority derive from the people, even if it has been elected by the people, but from God so that the application of the principles Paul is laying down is universal, and the authorities are answerable to God. Hence Nebuchadnezzar was God's "servant" (Jeremiah 27:6) to chastise disobedient Judah, but Babylon overreached her authority, and was judged. George II is God's servant to ensure the fulfillment of Matthew 24:37 in the USA and render her incapable of repulsing the Russian invasion that will follow the sinking of Los Angeles. In subsequent years Judaeo-Communism will destroy Rome's US image because "In God we Trust" has become lip service without substance.
"Whoever resists the power, so that they rebel against its authority is resisting God's appointment." Spiritual resistance to God earns temporal punishment under the Vials and Trumpet judgments at the hands of the authority: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Imperial and Papal Rome, or Judaeo-Communism. God's policemen, who "wear the sword," are Cain's people or otherwise "children of the Devil" who rule over every nation (Matthew 4:8-9). "Such resisters shall receive judgment on themselves." When Zedekiah resisted the lawful, God-given authority of Nebuchadnezzar, Jerusalem and her temple were razed, and the king was taken captive and made sightless (II Kings 25:7), however, this passage is not implying passive obedience to unlawful authority.
In Newsletter #171 we noted: "Fascism may be an ugly word to many, but its stately emblem is apparently offensive to no one. The emblem of fascism, a pair of them, commands the wall above and behind the speaker's rostrum in the Chamber of the House of Representatives. They're called fasces, and I can think of no reason for them to be there other than to declare the fascistic nature of American republican democracy. [The cupola on the Capitol building is crowned by fasces, which also adorn the Statue of Liberty and are the insignia of the National Guard. In the past, the US military, the National Guard, police and armed citizens had the combined ability to withstand threats to liberty from the national government. Now the military is broken, and may be opposed by mercenaries, while the National Guard is itself now under the personal control of the President]. A fasces is a Roman device. Actually, it originated with the ancient Etruscans, from whom the earliest Romans derived their religious jurisprudence nearly three thousand years ago. It's an axe-head whose handle is a bundle of rods tightly strapped together by a red sinew. It symbolizes the ordering of priestly functions into a single infallible sovereign, an autocrat who could require life and limb of his subjects. If the fasces is entwined with laurel, like the pair on the House wall, it signifies Caesarean military power. The Romans called this infallible sovereign Pontifex Maximus, "Supreme Bridgebuilder." No Roman was called Pontifex Maximus until the title was given to Julius Caesar in 48 BC. (See William Branham, An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 197). Today's Pontifex Maximus is Pope John Paul II."
". . . John Paul does not hold that title alone. He shares it with a mysterious partner, a military man, a man holding an office that has been known for more than four centuries as "Papa Nero," the Black Pope . . . the House fasces represent the Black Pope, who indeed rules the world" (Tupper Saussy, Rulers of Evil, p. 3-6).
It is not hard to understand what immense force must belong to the heads of this society, and how the general of the Jesuits could say to the Duke de Brissac: "From this room, your grace, I govern not only Paris, but China — not only China, but the whole world — and all without any one knowing how it is done" (Constitution of the Jesuits, edited by Paulin, Paris, 1843).
Newsletter #315 states: "America's Great Seal, with its obsessive fidelity to Caesarean Rome, cannot represent a nation more moral than the source of its scripture. The icons and mysterious cabalistic language of this Seal introduce a preposterous Babylonian gospel. Taken seriously (and shouldn't a government's solemn statements be taken seriously?), the Seal's gospel teaches that America's high spiritual purpose is to assist in the resurrection of the Son of God's mutilated parts from the evil slime of human flesh. It tells us that already the Holy Virgin has rescued the Son's Sacred Heart from the slime — E PLURIBUS UNUM, "one from many" — and has placed it high in the vault of Heaven, as her five-pointed celestial path describes for all to see. It calls for America to exert fervent sexual energy so that the Son's many parts on earth might be reunited with the UNUM in Heaven. It promises that America will rise toward the pure light of sinlessness and Godliness, into eternal life as part of the solar body of the Son — the Sun — of God. It signifies that this cosmic resurrective process is administered by a pyramidic hierarchy conceived in ancient Babylon, exported to Asia Minor, and bequeathed to Rome. At the top of the hierarchy sits an unseen chieftain, an unknown superior, a God of the Seal who possesses universal intelligence and authority over every soul who confederates with, or subscribes to, the Seal.
The God of the Seal wields the fasces to sweep the earth clean of the last traces of Original Sin. He is assisted by a new priestly order, a "new world order" charged with destroying all individual identity deemed inconsistent with the resurrection to godliness. Uncooperative governments and dissident citizens alike are cut down by arts of war so frugal that the liquidation increases popular faith in the fasces. Because they function in a Golden Era of Saturn, the chief and his hierarchy can be depended upon to mimic Saturn's strictness, cruelty, licentiousness, even cannibalism as the situation requires. To the charge that such is impossible in America, one comparison should be sufficient. No sooner was Augustus Caesar deified than he sacrificially murdered three hundred Senators in Perugia to atone for the assassination of his adoptive father Julius. Likewise, no sooner was an American president inaugurated than he, as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, authorized the sacrificial murder of nearly a hundred misguided Christians near Waco, Texas, to atone for what? A growing popular disenchantment with federal government? [More likely was it to atone for dissent from the one world religion of the Universal Roman church. Denominational Christians and the Judaised multitude within the circle of this Message have fallen into the dialectical trap of World War III between political Zionism and political Islam, which is designed to neuter and tame both fanatical groups so that their followers can be re-educated into this one world religion].
What the Seal of the United States of America represents, to anyone who takes it seriously, is a Ministry of Sin. A speech by Jesuit political scientist Michael Novak, published in the January 28, 1989 issue of America, the weekly magazine of American Jesuits, sums it up eloquently enough:
"The framers wanted to build a "novus ordo" that would secure "liberty and justice for all". . . The underlying principle of this new order is the fact of human sin. To build a republic designed for sinners, then, is the indispensable task. . . There is no use building a social system for saints. There are too few of them. And those there are impossible to live with! . . Any effective social system must therefore be designed for the only moral majority there is: sinners".
A. K. Chesterton said in Candour, "At times Capitalism and Communism would appear to be in conflict, but this writer is confident that their interests are in common and will eventually merge for one-world control. That policy outlined previously in Woodrow Wilson's Point Six has never been dropped. . ."
"Capitalism and Communism, in terms of power, are merely their twin mechanisms to destroy the sovereignty of Christian nations. They will merge them into the projected super-state, where their financial power will exercise full sway and masterdom through that monopoly of atomic energy which is being sought with such feverish and fiendish persistence. They are selling us into slavery and using our material resources for their own nefarious world-wide purposes. To say that in exposing their plans for world domination we are playing the Kremlin's game is to act as an unconscious agent of Christendom's betrayal".
There is direct evidence to suggest that the hidden powers have been planning for the eventual merger of the United States and the Soviet Union all along, but not until after a prolonged period of Cold War had accomplished their objectives. This evidence surfaced during the Reece Committee investigations into tax-exempt foundations during the 1950s. Norman Dodd, the director of research for the committee, had at one point during the investigation been invited to the headquarters of the Ford Foundation by its president. H. Rowan Gaither, who was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
During this visit Gaither told Dodd: "All of us here at the policymaking level have had experience, either in O.S.S. (Office of Strategic Services) or the European Economic Administration, with directives from the White House. We operate under those directives here. Would you like to know what those directives are?"
Dodd responded that he would, after which Gaither replied: "The substance of them is that we shall use our grant-making power so to alter life in the United States that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union."
Dodd, who was jolted by the frankness of the remarks, asked if Gaither would be willing to repeat his statement before the Reece Committee; to which the Ford Foundation president responded: "That we would not think of doing" (James J. Drummey, "The Internationalist," The New American, 12 March, 1991. p. 29 - 30; Daniel 2:40-45; Revelation 13:11-12; 17:11-13).
God veiled Himself in an earthen Vessel and sealed the mystery in Old Testament symbols, while our Lord Jesus Christ spoke only in parables to those without, revealing Himself to His elect by grace through faith. Whatever is in the written Word may be read by everyone, yet seen only by anointed eyes. Lucifer's age old plan is also in full view, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols understood by his adepts, yet discerned by those with anointed eyes. Governments may be in the hands of Lucifer, but God has established limitations to their authority and they are answerable to Him.
The civil authority has no lawful God-ordained power over those who do good and is to be obeyed only to the extent of its lawful authority. "You do not wish to fear the authority, do you? Do what is good, and you will receive its approval: for it is God's agency for your good. (And will be judged if it oversteps the limit of its lawful authority). But if you do what is wrong, be afraid; for it does not wear the sword in vain: it is God's agent to bring deserved punishment upon the evildoer. Therefore obey the laws, not to avoid punishment only, but also for conscience' sake".
We are admonished to take the strait and narrow path of righteousness. Though the way be hard and fraught with snares, we walk by faith not by sight, and the objective of our journey is to put on the character of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 12:17-21, "Recompense no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Dearly beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but leave room for Divine retribution: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord. Instead, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink: for in doing so you will heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good".
"For conscience' sake." Paul wrote Timothy: "You have observed my doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, persecutions and afflictions — all that befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: yet from them all the Lord delivered me. Yes, and all who determine to live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will become worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. You, however, must remain faithful in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing you can trust me as your inspired teacher" (II Timothy 3:10-14).
Remember, "All things work together for good to those who love God, and are elect according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28). Although the authority may be unjust and even corrupt as Paul experienced, "it is God's agency for your good." God is using every circumstance to instill the character of Jesus Christ in you. Therefore, "Pay your taxes too, for the same reasons, so that government workers can continue doing God's work, serving you." By paying your taxes you participate in the support of the authority, which, is unconsciously a servant of the Kingdom, and of God "for your good." You may not like the manner in which you are being "served," but God is in control, and this is His agency for your perfection.
Christians are not called to be unthinking masochists, Paul charitably presumes the authority to be what, as God's agency, it ought to be. The non-realization of this ideal implies certain limitations to absolute submission based upon your Christian "conscience." That is, your faculty for distinguishing between right and wrong, which is the antithesis of servile fear, and of inward and free obedience "for the Lord's sake."
Some weeks ago a Brother wrote asking me if I could provide him with a right understanding of Romans 13. I sent him a URL to something Pastor Chuck Baldwin had written, and our Newsletter #328. Ten days later he responded with another URL which explained his concern. A KSLA 12 TV news report showed the US Government is employing misguided Pastors to persuade citizens obey government orders to relinquish guns, accept compulsory inoculation (as per Protocol No. 10:19, see newswithviews) and be bussed to camps during a state of emergency on the basis of a deliberate misrepresentation of Romans 13. "We're from Clergy Response, sent by the government to help you. . . when martial law is introduced".
Posse Comitatus was passed to prevent the US military from ever repeating the horrors it perpetrated in the South (which is still under martial law) after Jewish President Lincoln smashed the Constitution. The Waco massacre was a warning to dissident pastors and congregations who dare dispute the Clergy Response Team and the universal one world religion.
On August 1, 1972, it is alleged that Philippe Rothschild sent some papers to the Council of 13 in San Antonio, by state courier. (As we reported in Newsletter #016). It included:-
1) Federal gun control,
2) Removal of tax exemption from churches. (US House Bill 41 would require churches to have 500 members, and be a member of the World Council of Churches).
In 1963 Brother Branham said, "This Jezebel system, now blind spiritually to the Word of God, are joining themselves right into the Council of Churches. . . our great evangelical teaching, we have to forfeit that to be an organization. . . if your church is not in this Council of Churches, in time of trouble they can use your church to store ammunition or anything they want to. And if any man is caught having a prayer for anybody outside affiliation with this Council of Churches, he can be shot. It's a Federal offense. That's right. I got the papers on it from Washington. . . They're going to force you into it. That's why I've been against this organizational system. That's it. I had to keep it quiet about it being the mark of the beast, but it's late enough now till you can know it's the truth. . . It is. It's exactly that" (Just Once More, Lord, 10:52).
"You either belong to the Council of Churches, or you don't belong at all. And that's the system that's being formed here in the US, that fulfills the Scripture to the dot (Revelation 13:15-18). It fulfills what the Lord spoke to me in 1933" (What Shall I do with Jesus Called Christ, 19:81-82).
3) The Genocide Act making it a crime equal to murder to convert a person from one faith to another,
4) National Emergency Powers for President. (This was passed),
5) Anti-Hoarding Act making it a crime to have more than a 30 days supply of food, fuel or medicine. (Also passed),
6) Anti-Business Acts. (Presidential Directive #10-289).
In addition, the International Studies in Higher Education Act (HR 3077) would have power to recommend cutting federal funding for colleges and universities viewed as harbouring academic critics of Israel, but more particularly the anti-Christian "Noahide Laws" (Public Law 102-14, 102d Congress, March 20, 1991 [H.J. Res 104]; PL 102-14) and Global Anti-Semitism Review Act George II signed into law on October 16, 2004 established the Office of Religious Persecution Monitoring within the US State Department to monitor global anti-Semitism and report annually to Congress, laid the legal ground work for similarly draconian measures.
Praise God, Christians "wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places, protected by the whole armour of God" (Ephesians 6:11-18).
Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are apt to repeat them. The first laws proclaimed by Jewry after they conquered Russia from the East Side of New York in 1917 made possession of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion and anti-Semitism a capital crime — chutzpah, since almost no Jew is Semitic. Jewish Judge Michael Chertoff's Department of Homeland Security and so-called "faith-based" churches were joined at the hip by Executive Order 13397 on March 7, 2006. The Laodicean Age ended in a blackout of the Word, this final repudiation of the Word by the World Church system caused a departure of the Lord from the midst in 1963. He stands outside calling to His own who follow Him by obedience to the Word. After a short and powerful demonstration of the Spirit this little hunted and persecuted group will go to be with Jesus.
My Brother and Sister, "make your election and calling sure." If you the approval of men, forget about the faith and join the Judaisers in the circle of this Message. But if you love the Lord Jesus and desire fellowship with the saints at the Wedding Supper in the Sky, you will separate yourself, love truth and walk in the Light He is revealing to His end-time Bride. nl492.htm

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are pleased you could join us in fellowship around God's unchanging Word in this ever-changing world.
America's Jewish King George II whose evil has eclipsed former Jewish President and Illuminus F. D. Roosevelt, is in Sydney for the APEC summit. Prime Minister John Howard is his "Uncle Joe," as FDR called Jewish Premier Stalin, whose name means "man of Steel," George II's moniker for Mr. Howard. As they say in show biz, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Israel types the United States. She expropriated the Serpent's seed from the land, rejecting the theocracy for a monarchy that began with noble kings but degenerated to Ahab and his Jezebel. The United States seized Indian lands, rejecting the monarchy for a republic that began with noble presidents but degenerated into a Hegelian sham democracy ruled by an elective tyranny that will end under the Jezebel of Revelation 17:1-6. Israel assimilated with the Edomites and by the time of Messiah's first Coming these imposters ruled the throne and held the chief political and religious offices. They were God's ministers of wrath to blind all but an election of natural Israelites by Talmudic traditions and crucify the Son of Man so the blessing of Abraham could pass to we Gentiles to fulfil the prophecy of Genesis 12:3.
Over the past century and a half the United States assimilated with the Edomites (Matthew 24:37) so that by the time of Messiah's second or 'parousia' Coming these imposters ruled from the White House and held the chief political and religious offices. They are God's ministers of wrath to blind all but an election of spiritual Israelites by Talmudic (Judaeo-Christian) traditions whereby they shall crucify to themselves afresh the Son of God so that the blessing of Abraham can pass from we Gentiles back to an election of Israelites, not Jews, to fulfil prophecy (Daniel 9:24, 27; Zechariah 13:7b-9).
In this issue we will study Romans 13 which explains how God uses "children of the Devil" to punish evildoers and chastise His elect to instill righteousness of character. Hebrews 12:8, "If you receive no correction, in which all sons share, then you are bastards, and not sons." We will see how God allows the "children of the Devil" to systematically misrepresent this Scripture in order to punish evildoers posing as "angels of Light," or ministers of the Gospel.
"For conscience sake," as Paul wrote, we have been stressing the importance of "speaking the truth in love, that we may grow up into Christ in all things, who is our Head. . . the way, the truth, and eternal Life. 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, making increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love." My Brother and Sister, the Body of Christ is not joined together by lies, neither does it edify itself by lies. If we belong to Christ we must "purge out the old leaven".
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.

Independent Historian Unveils Cabalist Conspiracy
September 1, 2007 David Livingstone, 41, author of "Terrorism and the Illuminati — A Three Thousand Year History" says Cabalists determined to be God have hijacked mankind. "The Cabala states that God created man to know Himself. . . Cabalists take this to mean they can usurp the role of God. They don't have to meet an absolute moral standard first."
Livingstone says that all occult movements originate in the Cabala (which dates to 6th century BC Babylon). Cabalism is a Jewish heresy because it does not uphold the universal moral standards enunciated by Moses.
Livingstone maintains that most Illuminati bloodlines, including European royalty, are heretical Jews, crypto Jews and wannabe Jews. ("Crypto Jews" are Jews who usually pretend they are Christians, Muslims or other religions). Livingstone traces the genealogies of these Khazar bloodlines, which include the Rothschilds, the Hapsburgs, the Sinclairs, the Stuarts, the Merovingians, the Lusignans, and the Windsors.
"The great secret of history is this story of the ascent of heretical Cabalists to world power," says Livingstone. "Ordinary Jews and people in general have no idea how they are being manipulated. . . These Cabalists believe Lucifer is the true God. They care nothing for their own nations. Their whole aim in life is to humiliate and degrade mankind, and prove to God that the human experiment is an abject failure. They are achieving this through their control of education, the media and government". . . Full story: savethemales.ca

Dutch Bishop urges Faithful to call God Allah
August 15, 2007 – A Roman Catholic Bishop in the Netherlands has proposed people of all faiths refer to God as Allah to foster understanding, stoking an already heated debate on religious tolerance in a country with one million Muslims.
Bishop Tiny Muskens, from the southern diocese of Breda, told Dutch television on Monday that God did not mind what he was named and that in Indonesia, where Muskens spent eight years, priests used the word "Allah" while celebrating Mass.
"Allah is a very beautiful word for God. Shouldn't we all say that from now on we will name God Allah? . . . What does God care what we call him? It is our problem."
A survey in the Netherlands' biggest-selling newspaper De Telegraaf on Wednesday found 92 percent of the more than 4,000 people polled disagreed with the bishop's view, which also drew ridicule. The bishop, who is retiring in a few weeks, added he did not expect his ideas to find immediate acceptance. He expects it could take 100 or 200 years. Bishop Muskens has previously defied the Vatican by calling for the acceptance of married priests and the use of condoms against aids. He has also said that those who are poor may steal bread. Full story: freerepublic.com
Comment: This bishop who has never read a Bible:
Acts 4:12, "There is no other Name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved".
Ephesians 5:19-20, "Speak to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ".
Colossians 3:17, "Whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him".

Countries buying up the Planet
For Le Monde, Frederic Lemaitre observes: "For two decades, globalization has rhymed with liberalization and privatization. That's over, or very nearly so. Tomorrow, by a strange reversal of the situation, globalization will rhyme more and more with nationalizations. With one important new detail: companies will no longer be the property of the State in which they were created, but will belong to the planet's new bankers: notably China, Russia, Norway and the Gulf States."

101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Pentagon "Three-Day Blitz" Plan for Iran
September 2, 2007 – The Pentagon has drawn up plans for massive airstrikes against 1,200 targets in Iran, designed to annihilate the Iranians' military capability in three days. . . Alexis Debat, director of terrorism and national security at the Nixon Center, said last week that US military planners were not preparing for "pinprick strikes" against Iran's nuclear facilities. "They're about taking out the entire Iranian military," he said. . . "Whether you go for pinprick strikes or all-out military action, the reaction from the Iranians will be the same." It was, he added, a "very legitimate strategic calculus". Full story: truthout.org
Comment: A "very legitimate strategic calculus" conceived in the mind of Lucifer and inspired to his children.

For Conscience' Sake
Romans 13 should be read in conjunction with chapter 12, in which Paul recognizes the rights of the world, and defines the lawful fellowship of Christians with the world and our separation from its ungodliness by presenting our life a living sacrifice in worship of God—from which the world has fallen and corrupted itself. In chapter 13 Paul defines our conduct towards the State and the world by moral obligation without coercion.
Romans 13:1-6, "Let every one render voluntary obedience to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God. Whoever therefore resists the power, so that they rebel against its authority is resisting God's appointment. Such resisters shall receive judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. You do not wish to fear the authority, do you? Do what is good, and you will receive its approval: for it is God's agency for your good. But if you do what is wrong, be afraid; for it does not wear the sword in vain: it is God's agent to bring deserved punishment upon the evildoer. Therefore obey the laws, not to avoid punishment only, but also for conscience' sake. Pay your taxes too, for the same reasons, so that government workers can continue doing God's work, serving you".
God made man in His own image—our souls are a spirit as God is a Spirit, and after His likeness—or character. However, we are not born with character: character is not a gift but a victory. By grace through faith, God is imputing and imparting the character of Jesus Christ into His Bride as she reflects the glory of her Husband. Our obedience to the authorities is not to be through fear or blind servility, but that of a rational, principled character in the interests of good order and the common weal, for civil government is necessary, of Divine appointment, and this principle respects the office, not the character of the office holder.
Peter said, "Be subject for the Lord's sake to every institution ordained for men, whether it be to the king as supreme, or to his officers, as sent by him to bring criminals to justice and to encourage the well-behaved. For this is God's will, that by behaving well you should silence the ignorance of foolish men. Live as free from the law, yet without using your liberty to cover wickedness, but as freedom to serve God's will at all times. Treat everyone with respect. Love the brotherhood. Reverence God, and honour the king" (I Peter 2:13-17).
As obedience is demanded because of God's appointment, then it is not demanded in matters contrary to God's appointment. When the civil power contradicts God's Word and His Voice in our conscience, it then contradicts and subverts its own authority. Paul asserts the Higher Law as the basis for the lower authority, thereby elevating the lower authority nearer the Divine Law. Obedience to de facto rulers as a Christian duty must lead to true civil freedom, since it alone makes the individual truly free as he is above the law. Therefore it is his duty to obtain, by lawful means, the removal or alteration of an unjust or unreasonable law, for all powers of men must be in accord with the highest power, the moral sense." And the elevation of the moral sense of individuals will accomplish vastly more than revolutions. Thus popular government when, and only when, the people are permeated by Christian principle, contains in itself the restraint to revolutionary excess.
The sentiments of the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence appear to reflect the inspired Words of St. Paul, and need to be the continuing guide to political action against the elective tyranny of aliens and treasonous elites that have usurped the reins of power throughout our (once) Christian world, and whose forebears as unelected tyrants in centuries past suppressed the heathen and the poor:
"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is in the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security".
This is now impossible as the people are not permeated by Christian principle, they are apostate, and having departed from knowing and worshipping God in Spirit and in Truth, the nominally Christian world is overcome by the spirit of Laodicea, or Judaeo-Communism. There is no way back, because when Christ opened the Seventh Seal, the delay necessitated by His mediation for the ignorance of the Church Age saints was over and He began to gather together into one glorified Body those who are in theophany with we who are alive and remain (I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 8:1; 10:6; Ephesians 1:10; I Thessalonians 4:14-16). Calling the wise and foolish virgin out from Rome and her (once) Protestant daughters, He has allowed His wife just one generation to adorn Herself in the unity of the faith, for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation (Matthew 25:6; Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 15:46-57).
As Judea assimilated with the Edomites, making the Word of God of no effect, their apostate nation rejected Messiah's first Coming, the nominal church has united with their daughters and their gods, and is rejecting Messiah at His second Coming (Deuteronomy 7:2-6; Matthew 24:37; Romans 11:32). Now Israel types the United States: as God sent Nebuchadnezzar and Imperial Rome to desolate Judea, He will send Judaeo-Communist Russia to invade mainland USA, then bring her under submission to a Judaeo-Roman one-world religious government.
This was Satan's plan centuries before Cabot and Columbus "discovered" the New World, which was known to the ancients and to the high powers as attested by ancient maps. Suppressed archaeological discoveries have uncovered evidence of advanced civilizations and even giants in the New World. The Seal of the United States bears the eye of Osiris. The god that favours the undertakings of the conspirators looks approvingly from within the Pythagorean triangle, the symbol of science; and beneath the pyramid is a banner, which translates to "A New Order of the Ages," an order of science and knowledge as opposed to what the adepts regard as Christian superstition and fear (Daniel 12:4, 10).
American citizens have not exercised diligence in guarding their own republic but used their liberty to pursue frivolous, sensual pleasures. Like the prodigal son they are prisoners en route to serfdom under alien rule within their own homeland by the demons of all seven Church Ages (Matthew 12:38-45). A select group of families has controlled America from before the War of Independence, creating the nation through Judaeo-Freemasonry as testified by the Seal of the United States, and American citizens have unknowingly financed Communism with the profits of tax-exempt foundations. Those who have resisted the law "shall receive judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad".
America's Absolute was once God's unchanging Word, today it is the Judaeo-Communist United Nations. G. Edward Griffin explains that the United Nations is a platform by which Communist agents could infiltrate the US government, which is why it has been located in the world Jewish capital, New York City. "For many years the United States has been financing and supporting the expansion of international Communism around the world through measures which have been presented to the American people as ways of fighting Communism. . . President after president has told us that we have to send billions to various Communist and pro-Communist countries in order to win them away from Soviet domination. We have shipped them military equipment, trained their officers in our military schools, sent them machine tools, built whole factories and power dams for them, and sold them subsidized wheat. Our political leaders have shrewdly borrowed the money from our children and grandchildren".
The late Robert Welch of the Birch Society wrote: "The American government had saved the Soviet regime from financial collapse in 1933 and given its prestige and credit, the vital hypodermic injection, by recognition. The American government had saved the Soviet regime from destruction by Hitler’s armies, in 1942 and 1943, through intervention with both supplies and military force. The American government had made possible all of the postwar expansion by the Soviet empire, by acquiescence and frequently by collaboration in the Soviet subjugation of other nations. . . The sad truth is that this tyranny was actually saved, in this period of great vulnerability, by just one thing; by the inauguration, on January 20, 1953, of Dwight David Eisenhower as [Jewish] President of the United States" (The Politician).
Erik Fortman writes, "This incursion of redness into our country is methodically and continuously inculcated into our culture. . . we are following, to lesser or greater degrees, the entire platform of the Communist Party. I have no answers. This insidiousness pervades every waking moment of American life. Griffin informs us that Communist agents inside our government asked the UN to be headquartered in New York, on land donated by a Rockefeller, so that the enemy could better infiltrate our halls of power. That is what has happened. The Reagan incident, with the Berlin Wall, was a ruse. When finally Communists—in the guise of democratic socialism—had taken control of the American government, they simply allowed us to think we had won. Later, much later, we will be able to look upon the shattered battlefields of history, and one thing will become startlingly clear. Today, we live in a world of American Communism" (Webs of Power: Government Agencies, Secret Societies, & Elite Legacies).
This confirms what God revealed to Brother Branham in the third of seven consecutive visions in 1933. Dr. Peter Beter's audio letters explain how Bolsheviks resettled in the United States and were given senior bureaucratic positions through Rockefeller influence usurped their control of the nation. The "peace offensive" launched in 1956 by Jewish Premier Nikita Khrushchev, inaugurated the strategy of "peaceful co-existence" to "put the bourgeoisie to sleep," so that the final take-over of the entire world by the Communists would succeed through the element of surprise—an objective which clearly could not be gained by a conventional military confrontation.
What ever form of government authority is ruling, it is not a servant of the people, nor does its authority derive from the people, even if it has been elected by the people, but from God so that the application of the principles Paul is laying down is universal, and the authorities are answerable to God. Hence Nebuchadnezzar was God's "servant" (Jeremiah 27:6) to chastise disobedient Judah, but Babylon overreached her authority, and was judged. George II is God's servant to ensure the fulfillment of Matthew 24:37 in the USA and render her incapable of repulsing the Russian invasion that will follow the sinking of Los Angeles. In subsequent years Judaeo-Communism will destroy Rome's US image because "In God we Trust" has become lip service without substance.
"Whoever resists the power, so that they rebel against its authority is resisting God's appointment." Spiritual resistance to God earns temporal punishment under the Vials and Trumpet judgments at the hands of the authority: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Imperial and Papal Rome, or Judaeo-Communism. God's policemen, who "wear the sword," are Cain's people or otherwise "children of the Devil" who rule over every nation (Matthew 4:8-9). "Such resisters shall receive judgment on themselves." When Zedekiah resisted the lawful, God-given authority of Nebuchadnezzar, Jerusalem and her temple were razed, and the king was taken captive and made sightless (II Kings 25:7), however, this passage is not implying passive obedience to unlawful authority.
In Newsletter #171 we noted: "Fascism may be an ugly word to many, but its stately emblem is apparently offensive to no one. The emblem of fascism, a pair of them, commands the wall above and behind the speaker's rostrum in the Chamber of the House of Representatives. They're called fasces, and I can think of no reason for them to be there other than to declare the fascistic nature of American republican democracy. [The cupola on the Capitol building is crowned by fasces, which also adorn the Statue of Liberty and are the insignia of the National Guard. In the past, the US military, the National Guard, police and armed citizens had the combined ability to withstand threats to liberty from the national government. Now the military is broken, and may be opposed by mercenaries, while the National Guard is itself now under the personal control of the President]. A fasces is a Roman device. Actually, it originated with the ancient Etruscans, from whom the earliest Romans derived their religious jurisprudence nearly three thousand years ago. It's an axe-head whose handle is a bundle of rods tightly strapped together by a red sinew. It symbolizes the ordering of priestly functions into a single infallible sovereign, an autocrat who could require life and limb of his subjects. If the fasces is entwined with laurel, like the pair on the House wall, it signifies Caesarean military power. The Romans called this infallible sovereign Pontifex Maximus, "Supreme Bridgebuilder." No Roman was called Pontifex Maximus until the title was given to Julius Caesar in 48 BC. (See William Branham, An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 197). Today's Pontifex Maximus is Pope John Paul II."
". . . John Paul does not hold that title alone. He shares it with a mysterious partner, a military man, a man holding an office that has been known for more than four centuries as "Papa Nero," the Black Pope . . . the House fasces represent the Black Pope, who indeed rules the world" (Tupper Saussy, Rulers of Evil, p. 3-6).
It is not hard to understand what immense force must belong to the heads of this society, and how the general of the Jesuits could say to the Duke de Brissac: "From this room, your grace, I govern not only Paris, but China — not only China, but the whole world — and all without any one knowing how it is done" (Constitution of the Jesuits, edited by Paulin, Paris, 1843).
Newsletter #315 states: "America's Great Seal, with its obsessive fidelity to Caesarean Rome, cannot represent a nation more moral than the source of its scripture. The icons and mysterious cabalistic language of this Seal introduce a preposterous Babylonian gospel. Taken seriously (and shouldn't a government's solemn statements be taken seriously?), the Seal's gospel teaches that America's high spiritual purpose is to assist in the resurrection of the Son of God's mutilated parts from the evil slime of human flesh. It tells us that already the Holy Virgin has rescued the Son's Sacred Heart from the slime — E PLURIBUS UNUM, "one from many" — and has placed it high in the vault of Heaven, as her five-pointed celestial path describes for all to see. It calls for America to exert fervent sexual energy so that the Son's many parts on earth might be reunited with the UNUM in Heaven. It promises that America will rise toward the pure light of sinlessness and Godliness, into eternal life as part of the solar body of the Son — the Sun — of God. It signifies that this cosmic resurrective process is administered by a pyramidic hierarchy conceived in ancient Babylon, exported to Asia Minor, and bequeathed to Rome. At the top of the hierarchy sits an unseen chieftain, an unknown superior, a God of the Seal who possesses universal intelligence and authority over every soul who confederates with, or subscribes to, the Seal.
The God of the Seal wields the fasces to sweep the earth clean of the last traces of Original Sin. He is assisted by a new priestly order, a "new world order" charged with destroying all individual identity deemed inconsistent with the resurrection to godliness. Uncooperative governments and dissident citizens alike are cut down by arts of war so frugal that the liquidation increases popular faith in the fasces. Because they function in a Golden Era of Saturn, the chief and his hierarchy can be depended upon to mimic Saturn's strictness, cruelty, licentiousness, even cannibalism as the situation requires. To the charge that such is impossible in America, one comparison should be sufficient. No sooner was Augustus Caesar deified than he sacrificially murdered three hundred Senators in Perugia to atone for the assassination of his adoptive father Julius. Likewise, no sooner was an American president inaugurated than he, as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, authorized the sacrificial murder of nearly a hundred misguided Christians near Waco, Texas, to atone for what? A growing popular disenchantment with federal government? [More likely was it to atone for dissent from the one world religion of the Universal Roman church. Denominational Christians and the Judaised multitude within the circle of this Message have fallen into the dialectical trap of World War III between political Zionism and political Islam, which is designed to neuter and tame both fanatical groups so that their followers can be re-educated into this one world religion].
What the Seal of the United States of America represents, to anyone who takes it seriously, is a Ministry of Sin. A speech by Jesuit political scientist Michael Novak, published in the January 28, 1989 issue of America, the weekly magazine of American Jesuits, sums it up eloquently enough:
"The framers wanted to build a "novus ordo" that would secure "liberty and justice for all". . . The underlying principle of this new order is the fact of human sin. To build a republic designed for sinners, then, is the indispensable task. . . There is no use building a social system for saints. There are too few of them. And those there are impossible to live with! . . Any effective social system must therefore be designed for the only moral majority there is: sinners".
A. K. Chesterton said in Candour, "At times Capitalism and Communism would appear to be in conflict, but this writer is confident that their interests are in common and will eventually merge for one-world control. That policy outlined previously in Woodrow Wilson's Point Six has never been dropped. . ."
"Capitalism and Communism, in terms of power, are merely their twin mechanisms to destroy the sovereignty of Christian nations. They will merge them into the projected super-state, where their financial power will exercise full sway and masterdom through that monopoly of atomic energy which is being sought with such feverish and fiendish persistence. They are selling us into slavery and using our material resources for their own nefarious world-wide purposes. To say that in exposing their plans for world domination we are playing the Kremlin's game is to act as an unconscious agent of Christendom's betrayal".
There is direct evidence to suggest that the hidden powers have been planning for the eventual merger of the United States and the Soviet Union all along, but not until after a prolonged period of Cold War had accomplished their objectives. This evidence surfaced during the Reece Committee investigations into tax-exempt foundations during the 1950s. Norman Dodd, the director of research for the committee, had at one point during the investigation been invited to the headquarters of the Ford Foundation by its president. H. Rowan Gaither, who was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
During this visit Gaither told Dodd: "All of us here at the policymaking level have had experience, either in O.S.S. (Office of Strategic Services) or the European Economic Administration, with directives from the White House. We operate under those directives here. Would you like to know what those directives are?"
Dodd responded that he would, after which Gaither replied: "The substance of them is that we shall use our grant-making power so to alter life in the United States that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union."
Dodd, who was jolted by the frankness of the remarks, asked if Gaither would be willing to repeat his statement before the Reece Committee; to which the Ford Foundation president responded: "That we would not think of doing" (James J. Drummey, "The Internationalist," The New American, 12 March, 1991. p. 29 - 30; Daniel 2:40-45; Revelation 13:11-12; 17:11-13).
God veiled Himself in an earthen Vessel and sealed the mystery in Old Testament symbols, while our Lord Jesus Christ spoke only in parables to those without, revealing Himself to His elect by grace through faith. Whatever is in the written Word may be read by everyone, yet seen only by anointed eyes. Lucifer's age old plan is also in full view, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols understood by his adepts, yet discerned by those with anointed eyes. Governments may be in the hands of Lucifer, but God has established limitations to their authority and they are answerable to Him.
The civil authority has no lawful God-ordained power over those who do good and is to be obeyed only to the extent of its lawful authority. "You do not wish to fear the authority, do you? Do what is good, and you will receive its approval: for it is God's agency for your good. (And will be judged if it oversteps the limit of its lawful authority). But if you do what is wrong, be afraid; for it does not wear the sword in vain: it is God's agent to bring deserved punishment upon the evildoer. Therefore obey the laws, not to avoid punishment only, but also for conscience' sake".
We are admonished to take the strait and narrow path of righteousness. Though the way be hard and fraught with snares, we walk by faith not by sight, and the objective of our journey is to put on the character of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 12:17-21, "Recompense no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Dearly beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but leave room for Divine retribution: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord. Instead, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink: for in doing so you will heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good".
"For conscience' sake." Paul wrote Timothy: "You have observed my doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, persecutions and afflictions — all that befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: yet from them all the Lord delivered me. Yes, and all who determine to live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will become worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. You, however, must remain faithful in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing you can trust me as your inspired teacher" (II Timothy 3:10-14).
Remember, "All things work together for good to those who love God, and are elect according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28). Although the authority may be unjust and even corrupt as Paul experienced, "it is God's agency for your good." God is using every circumstance to instill the character of Jesus Christ in you. Therefore, "Pay your taxes too, for the same reasons, so that government workers can continue doing God's work, serving you." By paying your taxes you participate in the support of the authority, which, is unconsciously a servant of the Kingdom, and of God "for your good." You may not like the manner in which you are being "served," but God is in control, and this is His agency for your perfection.
Christians are not called to be unthinking masochists, Paul charitably presumes the authority to be what, as God's agency, it ought to be. The non-realization of this ideal implies certain limitations to absolute submission based upon your Christian "conscience." That is, your faculty for distinguishing between right and wrong, which is the antithesis of servile fear, and of inward and free obedience "for the Lord's sake."
Some weeks ago a Brother wrote asking me if I could provide him with a right understanding of Romans 13. I sent him a URL to something Pastor Chuck Baldwin had written, and our Newsletter #328. Ten days later he responded with another URL which explained his concern. A KSLA 12 TV news report showed the US Government is employing misguided Pastors to persuade citizens obey government orders to relinquish guns, accept compulsory inoculation (as per Protocol No. 10:19, see newswithviews) and be bussed to camps during a state of emergency on the basis of a deliberate misrepresentation of Romans 13. "We're from Clergy Response, sent by the government to help you. . . when martial law is introduced".
Posse Comitatus was passed to prevent the US military from ever repeating the horrors it perpetrated in the South (which is still under martial law) after Jewish President Lincoln smashed the Constitution. The Waco massacre was a warning to dissident pastors and congregations who dare dispute the Clergy Response Team and the universal one world religion.
On August 1, 1972, it is alleged that Philippe Rothschild sent some papers to the Council of 13 in San Antonio, by state courier. (As we reported in Newsletter #016). It included:-
1) Federal gun control,
2) Removal of tax exemption from churches. (US House Bill 41 would require churches to have 500 members, and be a member of the World Council of Churches).
In 1963 Brother Branham said, "This Jezebel system, now blind spiritually to the Word of God, are joining themselves right into the Council of Churches. . . our great evangelical teaching, we have to forfeit that to be an organization. . . if your church is not in this Council of Churches, in time of trouble they can use your church to store ammunition or anything they want to. And if any man is caught having a prayer for anybody outside affiliation with this Council of Churches, he can be shot. It's a Federal offense. That's right. I got the papers on it from Washington. . . They're going to force you into it. That's why I've been against this organizational system. That's it. I had to keep it quiet about it being the mark of the beast, but it's late enough now till you can know it's the truth. . . It is. It's exactly that" (Just Once More, Lord, 10:52).
"You either belong to the Council of Churches, or you don't belong at all. And that's the system that's being formed here in the US, that fulfills the Scripture to the dot (Revelation 13:15-18). It fulfills what the Lord spoke to me in 1933" (What Shall I do with Jesus Called Christ, 19:81-82).
3) The Genocide Act making it a crime equal to murder to convert a person from one faith to another,
4) National Emergency Powers for President. (This was passed),
5) Anti-Hoarding Act making it a crime to have more than a 30 days supply of food, fuel or medicine. (Also passed),
6) Anti-Business Acts. (Presidential Directive #10-289).
In addition, the International Studies in Higher Education Act (HR 3077) would have power to recommend cutting federal funding for colleges and universities viewed as harbouring academic critics of Israel, but more particularly the anti-Christian "Noahide Laws" (Public Law 102-14, 102d Congress, March 20, 1991 [H.J. Res 104]; PL 102-14) and Global Anti-Semitism Review Act George II signed into law on October 16, 2004 established the Office of Religious Persecution Monitoring within the US State Department to monitor global anti-Semitism and report annually to Congress, laid the legal ground work for similarly draconian measures.
Praise God, Christians "wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places, protected by the whole armour of God" (Ephesians 6:11-18).
Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are apt to repeat them. The first laws proclaimed by Jewry after they conquered Russia from the East Side of New York in 1917 made possession of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion and anti-Semitism a capital crime — chutzpah, since almost no Jew is Semitic. Jewish Judge Michael Chertoff's Department of Homeland Security and so-called "faith-based" churches were joined at the hip by Executive Order 13397 on March 7, 2006. The Laodicean Age ended in a blackout of the Word, this final repudiation of the Word by the World Church system caused a departure of the Lord from the midst in 1963. He stands outside calling to His own who follow Him by obedience to the Word. After a short and powerful demonstration of the Spirit this little hunted and persecuted group will go to be with Jesus.
My Brother and Sister, "make your election and calling sure." If you the approval of men, forget about the faith and join the Judaisers in the circle of this Message. But if you love the Lord Jesus and desire fellowship with the saints at the Wedding Supper in the Sky, you will separate yourself, love truth and walk in the Light He is revealing to His end-time Bride. nl492.htm

"Despite its vaunted First Amendment, America has also shown on countless occasions how it rids itself of its own heretics — often under cover of free speech and in the name of proverbial human rights. American politicians and academics are aware of the fact that even minor critical comment about Jews and Judaism can ruin their career — and life.
The Russian author, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, noted long ago, how the decline in courage had become a hallmark of America. America seems to have lost its civic courage, both as a whole and as a state of individual citizens. Such a decline in courage is particularly noticeable among the American ruling class and intellectual elites, and has created the impression of a complete loss of courage by the whole of American society.
"Of course," writes Solzhenitsyn, "there are many courageous individuals but they have no determining influence on public life. . . This cowardice has today become the main political and academic pillar in America and Americanized Europe" (Tomislav Sunic, "Homo Americanus: Child of the Postmodern Age," 2007).
As Sydney gears up for next week's APEC summit, water cannon, tasers and dogs replace mounted police, quarantined by a timely pandemic of equine influenza. Is this to train "many courageous individuals" to march to the NWO beat, to protect the elected tyranny, or to teach China how we respect human rights and civil liberties in a democracy? Is it later than you think? Amnesty International’s yearly report has concluded the United States is now the principle violator of human rights and freedoms worldwide.
President Putin asked laughing, "Am I a 'pure democrat'? Of course I am, absolutely. The problem is that I'm all alone—the only one of my kind in the whole wide world. Just look at what’s happening in North America, it’s simply awful—torture, homeless people, Guantanamo, people detained without trial and investigation. Just look at what’s happening in Europe—harsh treatment of demonstrators, rubber bullets and tear gas used first in one capital then in another, demonstrators killed on the streets. . . I have no one to talk to since Mahatma Gandhi died." Americans cannot deny this, so long as mad king George II provokes mother Russia, Iran, or any other people against whom Israel bears a grudge.
Has the Fed lost control over US interest rates? "Securitization" is a strained legal and accounting fiction that converts equity into debt and is subsidizing a sector which makes the macro economy more vulnerable and exports "packaged" bad debt to investors overseas. Is the "phantom-GDP" invented by US statistics tending to world depression with a collapse of the US dollar as the reserve currency, and will the EU and China be sucked into the vacuum? Could instability of the US dollar induce China to attack Taiwan, giving the US an excuse to go to war, thereby preserving the value of the dollar in her interest? Tsun Tsu? Questions, questions. . .
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.

American Airlines — "9/11 didn't Happen"
August 26, 2007 – WikiScanner discovered that American Airlines changed their Wikipedia entry to state that Flights 11 and 77 never flew on 9/11.
Original entry was:
Two American Airlines aircraft were hijacked and crashed during the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack: American Airlines Flight 77 (a Boeing 757) and American Airlines Flight 11 (a Boeing 767).
New entry is:
Two American Airlines aircraft were hijacked and crashed during the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack: Flight 77 (a Boeing 757) and Flight 11 (a Boeing 767). Although these flights were daily departures before and a month after September 11, 2001. Neither flight 11 nor 77 were scheduled on September 11, 2001. The records kept by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (www.bts.gov/gis/) do not list either flight that day.
A Google search of the IP address that made the change — 144.9.8.21 — is located at American Airlines.

Comment: "By Way of Deception Thou shalt make War."
The Ministry of Truth, Winston's place of work, contained, it was said, three thousand rooms above ground level, and corresponding ramifications below. The Ministry of Truth concerned itself with Lies. Party ownership of the print media made it easy to manipulate public opinion, and the film and radio carried the process further.
The primary job of the Ministry of Truth was to supply the citizens of Oceania with newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programmes, plays, novels — with every conceivable kind of information, instruction, or entertainment, from a statue to a slogan, from a lyric poem to a biological treatise, and from a child's spelling-book to a Newspeak dictionary. . .

Jesus in the Talmud
On 15 January 2007, Princeton University Press released a book by Professor Peter Schäfer, head of Princeton University's Judaic Studies Program and listed as "one of the world's most famous academic authorities on Judaism." The book is entitled "Jesus in the Talmud".
I read a review of this book and checked on Amazon.com just to be sure that what I read was true — even that such a book existed! According to the review, Peter Schäfer argues, contrary to the claims of the Jewish lobby, that Jesus is given a very poor and unflattering portrayal in the Jewish sacred texts of the "Talmud." It has often been claimed that only anti-Semites have promoted this allegedly false view of Jesus and that there are few Talmudic references to Jesus.
From a search with a surf-the-net-literate friend we were unable to find a copy of this book in any library in Australia — surprise, surprise — although the book ranked 31,332 on the Amazon.com site. We will get the book and make our own assessment.
On 2 February 2007, in the case of Jeremy Jones v The Bible Believers Church [2007] FCASS, Holocaust denial material, being allegations that the Holocaust did not occur (among other things), was found to contravene section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975, outlawing race hate. One wonders if Professor Peter Schäfer and Princeton University Press have also violated this Act, not on the Holocaust but on another "sensitive" ground, this time of religious difference? For the Race Hate Act, truth is not a defence, and all that matters is "offence" and also any "offence" that is "unreasonable" and "not in good faith".
Jeremy Jones ("The Last Word", Australia Israel Review June 2007) in commenting on the Bible Believers' Federal Court case finished his article with the following words:
"But on one issue I would hope that agreement by members of all faiths, and none, has been reached — that racism, and contempt for others, of the type expressed by the abovementioned sheiks (Muslimed) and the "pastor" (Christianed), is completely beyond the pale of acceptability."
Do the same standards apply to the Talmud and Judaism Mr. Jones? Maybe "the last word" hasn't yet been heard.

Comment: On the website of the Orthodox Jewish Hasidic Lubavitch group—one of the largest in the world—we find the following statement, complete with Talmudic citations:
"The Talmud (Babylonian edition) records other sins of 'Jesus the Nazarene':
1) He and his disciples practiced sorcery and black magic, led Jews astray into idolatry, and were sponsored by foreign, gentile powers for the purpose of subverting Jewish worship (Sanhedrin 43a).
2) He was sexually immoral, worshipped statues of stone (a brick is mentioned), was cut off from the Jewish people for his wickedness, and refused to repent (Sanhedrin 107b; Sotah 47a).
3) He learned witchcraft in Egypt and, to perform miracles, used procedures that involved cutting his flesh, which is also explicitly banned in the Bible (Shabbos 104b). (End quote from Lubavitch website June 20, 2000).
Let us examine further some of these anti-Christ Talmud passages:
Gittin 57a. Says Jesus is in hell, being boiled in "hot excrement."
Sanhedrin 43a. Says Jesus ("Yeshu" and in Soncino footnote #6, Yeshu "the Nazarene") was executed because he practiced sorcery: "It is taught that on the eve of Passover Jesus was hung, and forty days before this the proclamation was made: Jesus is to be stoned to death because he has practiced sorcery and has lured the people to idolatry. . . He was an enticer and of such thou shalt not pity or condone."
Kallah 51a. "The elders were once sitting in the gate when two young lads passed by; one covered his head and the other uncovered his head. Of him who uncovered his head Rabbi Eliezer remarked that he is a bastard. Rabbi Joshua remarked that he is the son of a niddah (a child conceived during a woman's menstrual period). Rabbi Akiba said that he is both a bastard and a son of a niddah.
"They said, 'What induced you to contradict the opinion of your colleagues?' He replied, "I will prove it concerning him." He went to the lad's mother and found her sitting in the market selling beans.
"He said to her, 'My daughter, if you will answer the question I will put to you, I will bring you to the world to come' (eternal life). She said to him, 'Swear it to me.'
"Rabbi Akiba, taking the oath with his lips but annulling it in his heart, said to her, 'What is the status of your son?' She replied, 'When I entered the bridal chamber I was niddah (menstruating) and my husband kept away from me; but my best man had intercourse with me and this son was born to me.' Consequently the child was both a bastard and the son of a niddah.
"It was declared, '. . Blessed be the God of Israel Who Revealed His Secret to Rabbi Akiba. . ."
In addition to the theme that God rewards clever liars, the preceding Talmud discussion is actually about Jesus Christ (the bastard boy who "uncovered his head" and was conceived in the filth of menstruation). The boy's adulterous mother in this Talmud story is the mother of Christ, Blessed Mary (called Miriam and sometimes, Miriam the hairdresser, in the Talmud).
"The Editio Princeps of the complete Code of Talmudic Law, Maimonides' Mishneh Torah — replete not only with the most offensive precepts against all Gentiles but also with explicit attacks on Christianity and on Jesus (after whose name the author adds piously, 'May the name of the wicked perish'). . . (Dr. Israel Shahak, Jewish History, Jewish Religion, p. 21).
"The Talmud contains a few explicit references to Jesus. . . These references are certainly not complimentary. . . There seems little doubt that the account of the execution of Jesus on the eve of Passover does refer to the Christian Jesus. . . The passage in which Jesus' punishment in hell is described also seems to refer to the Christian Jesus. It is a piece of anti-Christian polemic dating from the post-70 CE period. . ." (Hyam Maccoby, Judaism on Trial, pp. 26-27).
"According to the Talmud, Jesus was executed by a proper rabbinical court for idolatry, inciting other Jews to idolatry, and contempt of rabbinical authority. All classical Jewish sources which mention his execution are quite happy to take responsibility for it; in the talmudic account the Romans are not even mentioned.
"The more popular accounts—which were nevertheless taken quite seriously—such as the notorious Toldot Yeshu are even worse, for in addition to the above crimes they accuse him of witchcraft. The very name 'Jesus' was for Jews a symbol of all that is abominable and this popular tradition still persists. . .
"The Hebrew form of the name Jesus—Yeshu—was interpreted as an acronym for the curse, 'may his name and memory be wiped out,' which is used as an extreme form of abuse. In fact, anti-zionist Orthodox Jews (such as Neturey Qarta) sometimes refer to Herzl as 'Herzl Jesus' and I have found in religious zionist writings expressions such as "Nasser Jesus" and more recently 'Arafat Jesus" (Dr. Israel Shahak, Jewish History, Jewish Religion, pp. 97-98, 118).

According to The Australian Jewish News (Melbourne Edition, Volume 62 #43, p. 9) on July 26, 1996:
CHRISTIANS have to make a choice — "either retain their present belief system and be antisemitic or form a partnership with the Jewish people." This is the view of Bar-llan University's Rabbi Dr Pinchas Hayman, who is active in Jewish-Christian dialogue and in encouraging modern Christianity to return to its Jewish roots by observing the Seven Noahide Laws.
"As long as Christians keep Jesus as God, they will be antisemitic because that belief must lead them to believe that those who reject Jesus reject God. . . That's how the process of satanising the Jew's began. That belief is the root cause of 1,500 years of the Christian idolatrous antisemitism which led to the Holocaust". (END QUOTE).
"By Way of Deception Thou shalt make War."
Christians do NOT have "Jewish roots," our roots are in God's promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, thus to Israel, which is not "Jewish." The Noahide laws are fraudulent, and the evidence paints Zionists as the authors of three "holocausts," each of six million Jews, just in the twentieth century. I should mention that we had no legal representation in the hearings; our evidence was returned four times unread, and two judges neglected to test the correspondence, claims, or systematically misrepresented evidence of our persecutors of 13 years. The Bible, Jewish encyclopedias and historians agree very few Jews are related to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or are even Semitic, and that Judaism is Pharisaism, the antithesis of Moses and the prophets of the Old Testament as Jesus described their holy book the Talmud (Matthew 15:1-9). "Now watch, not just the carnal church, the one out there, the regular routine carnal church, the Esau group. We got now the Judatarian group [in the circle of this Message], which is far more treacherous, far more treacherous, coming right up into the very hands of the blessing" (William Branham, Hearing, Recognizing, Acting on the Word of God, p. 15:105-106). Judas make-believer ministers permit rabbis to speak from their pulpits!

What do Primakov (Pinchas Finkelstein), (Jewish spymaster) Marcus Wolfe and DHS have in Common? Answer: Jewish Judge Michael Chertoff
And the greatest threat to liberty the world has ever seen.
For Instance: "This [National ID Card] "card" was designed for Homeland Security by the former East German STAZI chief, Marcus Wolfe, a master of manipulation and intimidation and Primakov the former head of the KGB in the USSR. These two former spy chiefs are who really run our SECRET National Interior Spy Service. Bush employed them specifically for what they brought from their communist states — now they decide who lives and who dies in America! These men have not changed, they are who they are, and that's why Bush and the Bandits hired them for HOMELAND Security. If these men appeared for work, in the uniforms of their former States, the public would be outraged, and rightfully so! How is it that the radical right continues to decry Communism, yet they have allowed Bush to employ top communist counter-intelligence officers to oversee every facet of our lives?"

US-approved Troop-hunts for Terrorists in Pakistan
August 23, 2007 – Newly uncovered "rules of engagement" show the US military gave elite units broad authority more than three years ago to pursue suspected terrorists into Pakistan, with no mention of telling the Pakistanis in advance. . .
Told of the guidelines, Pakistani military spokesman Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad said, "This is all nonsense. Pakistan never allowed the coalition forces to enter into our territory while chasing militants. There was no such agreement, there was no such understanding". . . As for "geographic limits," the memo states: "General rule: penetrate no deeper than 10 km," or 6.2 miles. . . Full story: truthout.org
Islamabad, August 30, 2007 – President Pervez Musharraf has apparently agreed to resign as army chief during negotiations with former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on a deal that would allow him to serve another term as president and for her to return to Pakistan to contest elections, Pakistani officials said Wednesday.

Iraq Corruption Whistleblowers face Penalties
August 24, 2007 – One after another, the men and women who have stepped forward to report corruption in the massive effort to rebuild Iraq have been vilified, fired and demoted. Or worse.
For daring to report illegal arms sales, Navy veteran Donald Vance says he was imprisoned by the American military in a security compound outside Baghdad and subjected to harsh interrogation methods. There were times, huddled on the floor in solitary confinement with that head-banging music blaring dawn to dusk and interrogators yelling the same questions over and over, that Vance began to wish he had just kept his mouth shut.
He had thought he was doing a good and noble thing when he started telling the FBI about the guns and the land mines and the rocket-launchers — all of them being sold for cash, no receipts necessary, he said. He told a federal agent the buyers were Iraqi insurgents, American soldiers, State Department workers, and Iraqi embassy and ministry employees. . .
Corruption has long plagued Iraq reconstruction. Hundreds of projects may never be finished, including repairs to the country's oil pipelines and electricity system. Congress gave more than $30 billion to rebuild Iraq, and at least $8.8 billion of it has disappeared, according to a government reconstruction audit. . . Full story: msnbc.msn.com truthout.org
Comment: God bless brave men and women who esteem truth and honour above their mortal lives. The motto and object of the Illuminati who rule the United States is to create (Lucifer's totalitarian New World) "Order out of Chaos." Illuminus F. D. Roosevelt knew, "If something happens in politics you can bet it was planned that way" as illustrated by the quagmire in Iraq, Afghanistan's record levels of opium in 2007 for the second straight year, led by a staggering 45 percent increase in the Taliban stronghold of Helmand Province, and also the New Orleans reconstruction fiasco.

Opened and Closed Doors
We need to learn to thank the Lord for closed doors just as much as we do for open doors. The reason God closes doors is because He has not prepared anything over there for us. If he didn't close the wrong door we would never find our way to the right door. Even when we don't realize it, God directs our paths through the closing and opening of doors. When one door closes, it forces us to change our course. Another door closes; it forces us to change our course yet again.
Then finally, we find the open door and walk right into our blessing. But instead of praising God for the closed door (which kept us out of trouble), we get upset because we "judge by the appearances." And in our own arrogance, or ignorance, we insist that we know what is right.
We have a very present help in the time of need who is always standing guard. Because He walks ahead of us, He can see trouble down the road and He sets up road blocks and detours accordingly. But through our lack of wisdom we try to tear down the roadblocks or push aside the detour signs. Then the minute we get into trouble, we start crying "Lord, how could this happen to me?"
We have got to realize that the closed door was a blessing. Didn't He say that "No good thing will He withhold from them that love Him?" If you get terminated from your job — don't be down, instead thank God for the new opportunities that will manifest themselves — it might be a better job, or an opportunity to go to school. If that man or woman won't return your call — it might not be them, it might be the Lord setting up a roadblock (just let it go).
One time a person had a bank he had been doing business with for many years tell him "NO" for a $10,000 loan. The Lord led him to call another bank. That bank approved a $40,000 loan for him at a lower interest rate than his own bank had advertised.
I'm so grateful, for the many times God has closed doors to me, just to open them in the most unexpected places. "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way" (Psalms 37:23). The mountain top is glorious, but it is in the Valley that I will grow!
Always Remember God gives you. . .
Enough Happiness to keep you Sweet
Enough Trials to keep you Strong
Enough Sorrows to keep you Human
Enough Hope to keep you Happy
Enough Failure to keep you Humble
Enough Success to keep you Eager
Enough Friends to give you Comfort
Enough Wealth to meet your Needs
Enough Enthusiasm to make you look forward
Enough Faith to banish depression, and
Enough Determination to make each day a better day than the last.
Life must be lived forward but can only be understood backwards. Commit to the Lord in whatever you do and your plans will succeed (Proverbs 16:3).

Lukewarm and Indifferent
Jesus said, "The entrance into My Kingdom is narrow, the way leading to eternal Life fraught with afflictions, and there are few who find it. Beware of false teachers who come disguised as sheep while inwardly they are voracious wolves" (Matthew 7:14-15). Paul said, "All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution at the hands of those who hate Him. In fact, evil men and false teachers will go from bad to worse, seducing others as Satan has deceived them" (II Timothy 3:12-13).
We enter Christ's Kingdom by "The washing of water by the Word," receiving the mind of God in us (Ephesians 5:26-27). Ministers and laymen teaching untruth are not necessarily deliberate liars and may be sincerely deceived by Satan, having failed to consult God. They will genuinely believe the Message but quote the letter contrary to the Spirit, and falling into error, mislead others into greater discrepancy. This is a trial to keep you watchful, receiving the Word with all readiness of mind then searching the Scriptures whether those things were so. You are either hot or cold, or you are lukewarm and indifferent like the lass saying, "He loves me, He loves me not," as she plucks petals from a flower.
We must remain vigilant to guard against becoming lukewarm. I Peter 4:12, "Do not be surprised, Brethren, at the fiery trials that are coming as if this were some strange, unusual thing that is going to happen to you." The trial is firstly to prove your faith. For as Eve discovered, just one word off is the kingdom of Satan. Remember, those loveable, caring people who are deceived sincerely believe they are right; yet they "compass sea and land to convince one proselyte, and when he is deceived, they make him twofold more the child of hell than themselves."
Don't look for short cuts, run the extra mile along the hard road and enter by the narrow gate. "Give diligence to present yourself to God approved, a workman with no cause to be ashamed, correctly dividing the Word of truth" (II Timothy 2:15). The interpretation of a message of unknown tongues given to Brother Branham said, "Because you have chosen the narrow path, the harder way, you have walked in your own choosing. You have picked the precise and correct way, and it is My way. Because of this momentous decision, a huge portion of heaven awaits you. What a glorious decision you have made. This in itself is that which will make, and come to pass, the tremendous victory in the love Divine." The realization of the capstone revelation replicating the stature of the perfect Man.
God wants us to develop a Christ-like character through suffering as He suffered (Hebrews 2; James 5:10-11). We are all tried and chastened as sons. The church that is not suffering, and is not being tried, is not of God. Hebrews 12:6, "Whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives: if you are without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then you are bastards, and not sons".
Other than those who are saints, the whole world is in Laodicea. Laodicea means "people's rights," or communism, it is a woman's name and a spirit we must overcome. She has "crept in unawares" and seduced the once Christian world. The only exit out of Laodicea is the entrance into Christ. Every soul in the circle of this Message who has not been born again is imprisoned in Laodicea now.
Revelation 3:14-19, "To the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; The Words of the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the Creation of God." This is the Capstone Revelation of Himself that causes Christ's end-time Bride to cry, "Grace! Grace!" as she hears her name called from the Lamb's Book of Life and comes out of death in church creeds into the living Body Word of God (Zechariah 4:7; Revelation 18:4). When Christ's end-time Bride hears the Word for her hour she will come out of her, the church, with PART-Word and no Mediator, into Him, the fullness of the Word.
Jesus is the God of the Amen, the perfect and complete personal conclusion of the revelation of God (John 1:18). Jehovah of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 65:16-19; John 10:30). Amen means, "So mote it be." As the God of the Amen His ways can never change; His Word is final and cannot be added to or diminished (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8; Revelation 18-19).
He is eminently faithful, "In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; wherein He has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He has purposed in Himself: that in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him." For God is governing in the affairs of men "to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He has made us accepted in the beloved" (Ephesians 1:6-10). As He abides faithful, we may "be confident that He who has begun a good work in us will perform it until the day of the Lord" (Philippians 1:6).
He is the faithful and true witness. That word "true" expresses perfect realization compared with partial realization. John the Baptist and all previous prophets expressed certain Attributes of the Logos, whereas Jesus was the Logos or fullness of God manifest in flesh, of whom Job said, "After my skin worms have destroyed this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God." During the Church Ages when the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals we knew Him imperfectly by PART-Word, and saw as it were His reflection in a mirror dimly; now, since we have the fullness of the Word, that which was in part is done away; we see Him face to face, and know as we are known" (I Corinthians 13:9-12; Hebrews 4:12). But one day we will be changed in the atoms. We will put on immortality and be all swallowed up in Life. Then we will realize realization — that which is true, manifested eternal Life.
The word witness means "martyr," and Jesus was faithful unto death. The coming of the Holy Spirit to redeem and regenerate men's souls is witness that Jesus was a faithful martyr. He was the Comforter who came back in Spirit upon the souls of His elect (John 14:18). But one day when He comes back in flesh, He will prove who is the only wise potentate and Lord of Glory, the Faithful and True Witness, Creator and Sustainer, Perfect Realization, the Amen of God. In Jesus Messiah is realized all that belongs to a true and faithful witness. He saw with His own eyes that which He professes to attest. He was competent to relate this for others, and willing to faithfully and truthfully do so.
As the Logos — or expressed eternal thoughts of God, He is God, the Creator of a finished physical creation, but here He is speaking of creating Himself a part of another creation, a special designation of Himself in the form of His glorified Family, the true and elect Church of which, as Jesus Messiah, He is the beginning. This is the new creation in which God and man are united as Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, "I pray not only for My disciples, but also for those who will believe on Me through their Word; that they all may be one; as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that You have sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one: I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them, as You have loved Me" (John 17:20-23). II Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any one is in Christ he is a new creation: old has passed away; new Life has come".
Though man was of the old order or creation, in union with Christ he has become the new creation of God. Ephesians 2:10, "For we are His workmanship created in union with Christ Jesus unto good works." Ephesians 4:24, "Put on the new nature that is created in God's likeness in genuine righteousness and true holiness".
At the end of Laodicea Jesus Messiah is ready to reveal His fullness, characterised by certainty, sincerity, and truth: "the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the Creation of God. . . in whom all the promises of God are assured, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God by us" (II Corinthians 1:20). He can look with approbation only on the same in others. In contrast, she who claims to be His image reflecting His glory, is His antithesis, apostate and insincere. With great displeasure He says, "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I wish you were cold or hot. Because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue you out of My mouth".
Here we have three kinds of believer. Those whose service to the Lord is "hot," are true believers, the "lukewarm" are make-believers in the circle of the Message who have "tasted of the heavenly gift, and are partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good Word of God, and the powers of the world to come" (Hebrews 6:4-6); but grace having failed to kindle the spark, they are indifferent to the promises and threats of God's Word as though preaching and teaching were as vain as the wind. He who is cold is the "unbeliever," but it was from among those without, not the lukewarm and indifferent, that Jesus drew His recruits.
In Luke 7:36-50, "One of the Pharisees invited Jesus home for dinner, and a sinner woman of the city, learning that Jesus was there, brought an alabaster flask of perfume, and going in, knelt behind him, weeping; she began to wet His feet with her tears, then wipe them with her hair, and tenderly kiss and anoint them with the perfume. Now when His host saw this, he said to himself, If this man were a prophet, he would have known what manner of woman is touching Him, for she is devoted to sin."
"Discerning the thoughts and intents of his heart, Jesus said, Simon, I have something to tell you. And he said, Master, what is that? Two men were in debt to a moneylender: one owed him five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when neither could pay, he forgave them both. Now which of them will love him more? Simon answered, The one to whom he forgave more. Jesus said, you have judged correctly."
"Then turning to the woman, He said to Simon, You see this woman? As I entered your home you gave Me no water for My feet: but she has washed My feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair. You gave Me no kiss, but from the moment I came in she has not stopped tenderly kissing My feet. You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume. So I tell you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she has greatly loved. But the person who is forgiven little loves little."
"And he said to her, Your sins are forgiven. Those at the table with Him began to say to themselves, Who is this that even forgives sins? And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace".
Those who claim to be "hot" are often "lukewarm," but God has good and kind people whom He will reward at the Great White Throne (Matthew 25:25:45). Our Scripture Concordance to Sermons by William M. Branham was printed by a university at cost; the program for the computer version was compiled by a USAF officer, while a school, a home, and three stores donated computer time. When we needed images for the slideshow FaithNow, a friend photographed, scanned and retouched photos from Spoken Word Books, and an art school printed large posters. Now we seek high resolution clear images to produce a better quality version of Footprints on the Sands of Time.
In Matthew 22:1-14, "Jesus again spoke to them in parables, saying, The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a King, who prepared a wedding feast for His son, Jesus Messiah, and sent out His servants the prophets to notify those who were invited to the wedding, but Israel would not come. Once more He sent other servants, saying, Tell those invited, Behold, I have prepared My dinner: My oxen and My fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast. But they made light of it, and went off, one to his farm, another to his merchandise; the rest took His servants, and ill-treated and killed them" (Matthew 23:34-35).
"Infuriated, the King sent Roman General Titus, whose troops destroyed those murderers and burned Jerusalem. He then told His servants, The banquet is ready, but the invited guests proved unworthy, so go to the highways, and invite to the marriage the Gentiles. So the angels to the seven Church Ages went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they could find, both bad and good: and the wedding hall was furnished with guests."
"But when the King came in to meet the guests, He noticed a man quoting the Message who had no wedding garment of the revelation for his day, to whom He said, Friend, how did you enter here without the baptism with the Holy Spirit? And he was speechless. Then the King said to His servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into outer darkness; there men will be weeping and gnashing their teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen".
Jesus found those who claimed to be "hot" believers to the exclusion of all else, were lukewarm hypocrites and make-believers open to any excuse as to why it can't be done, or why God's Word won't work; and who sold out for popularity with the world just like Judas. Brother Branham said, they would not be Methodists or Baptists, who are unbelievers to begin with; they are in the circle of this Message, quoting the Prophet from the pulpit — so close "that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Were we to apply this parable to the end-time church which has been called to the wedding feast of the Lamb, we would recognize that they make so many excuses as to why they should not display the Token and courageously accept unpopular truths, they will be shut out and go to the judgment instead.
Our "works" reveal the quality of our character: lukewarm hearts produce lukewarm works. Today there is no desperation because life is materially easy; we live in a wasteful, "throw-away" society so focused upon ten senses, the wrapping is prized more than the product or soul inside. An obsessive fantasy with illusions that serve the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life, has made men lukewarm and indifferent to the reality of God's creative Word.
Brother Branham asked, "What about the Pentecostals? Do they have the Word? Give them the Word test and see. They will sell out the Word for a sensation just about every time. If you can produce a manifestation like oil and blood and tongues and other signs, whether in the Word or not, or whether properly interpreted from the Word, the majority will fall for it. But what has happened to the Word? The Word has been put aside, so God says, "I am going against you all. I will spue you out of My mouth. This is the end. For seven out of seven ages, I have seen nothing but men esteeming their own word above Mine. So at the end of this age I am spuing you out of My mouth. It is all over. I am going to speak all right. Yes, I am here in the midst of the Church. The Amen of God, faithful and true will reveal Himself and it will BE BY MY PROPHET." Oh yes, that is so."
Revelation 10:7: "And in the days of the Voice of the seventh messenger, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished as He hath declared to His servants the prophets."
"There it is. He is sending a vindicated prophet. He is sending a prophet after almost two thousand years. He is sending someone who is so far from organization, education, and the world of religion that as John the Baptist and Elijah of old, he will hear only from God and he will have "thus saith the Lord" and speak for God. He will be God's mouthpiece and HE, AS IT IS DECLARED IN MALACHI 4:6, WILL TURN THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN BACK TO THE FATHERS. He will bring back the elect of the last day and they will hear a vindicated prophet give the exact truth as it was with Paul. He will restore the truth as they had it. And those elect with him in that day will be the ones who truly manifest the Lord and be His Body and be His Voice and perform His works. Hallelujah! Do you see it? (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 339:1).
Revelation 3:17-18, "Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel you to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness does not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see".
Jesus is indicting the church for spiritual conceit. Not only is Laodicea materially rich, she is suffering the "strong delusion" prophesied by Paul in II Thessalonians 2:11-12, "that they should believe the lie" Satan told the first Eve – that God loves the prostitute second Eve and her (once) Protestant harlot daughters so much they will not "surely" die; even though He has said He will cast them all into the tribulation and kill them with the second death (Revelation 2:20-23; 20:14-15).
This is Laodicea, but do not you see that it also applies to the majority of those within the circle of this Message? The whole world is in Laodicea, and the only way out is to be baptized into Christ by a clear revelation of the end-time Message. Unless a Message believer is born-again, he is in Laodicea. Oh, we have the Message, we recite and preach the Message quotes. So did Judas Iscariot. This is aggravated ignorance over against a supposed multiplied knowledge, but the one who thinks he has need of nothing needs counsel on the vital points of self-preservation.
The purchase price of "gold tried in the Supernatural Fire of the Holy Spirit" is surrender of self — self-sufficiency, self- pride, self-confidence, self-involved intellectual reasoning; that is, a penitential sacrifice in self-denial, in order that the Lord's counsel may be followed knowingly, intentionally, with eyes wide open.
"Eye salve" indicates justification by grace through the clear understanding of faith. "White raiment" signifies the righteousness of sanctification within and a visible modesty without, whilst the "gold" which cannot be seen represents indwelling Deity by the baptism with the Holy Ghost. Our wealth is the heavenly treasure of the imputed righteousness of Christ (II Corinthians 8:9).
Revelation 3:19, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent." His rebuke and chastening is an expression of His love with a view to correction in contrast to indifference which perverts love into laxity and accounts punishment as harshness (Hebrews 12:5-13; Proverbs 3:12). "As many as I love," not as many as love Me. II Thessalonians 2:10-11, "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (The Truth, Jesus Christ, did not love them — John 14:6). And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie" that Jesus loves us all.
It is His love for us, not our love for Him. It is all of grace. His love is elective love by His sovereign choosing. Romans 9:11-13, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. . . (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of Him that calls)".
If you can see this, you will recognize that it is not the false church He is calling to repentance but His elect, "as many as I love." Brother Branham said, "this false church has zeal; make no mistake about that. Her zeal has literally been that of the Jews, John 2:17, "The zeal of thine house hath eaten Me up." But it is a wrong zeal. It is for the house of their own building. It is for their own creeds, dogmas, organizations, their own righteousness. They have put the Word out for their own ideas. They deposed the Holy Ghost and made men into leaders. They have put aside Eternal Life as a Person, and make it good works, or even church conformity rather than good works."
(Now bring that home into the circle of this Message, as discussed in Newsletter #488, Brethren are "hot" for the quotes from which they are building a house of creed and dogma, not having taken the Message back to Scripture from Genesis to Revelation to understand what the Spirit is saying).
"But God is calling for another zeal. It is the zeal to cry "I AM WRONG." Now who is going to say that he is wrong? What is it that all these denominations are based upon?—the claim to originality, and that of God,—the claim that they are right. Now they ALL cannot be right. In fact NOT ONE of them is right. They are whited sepulchres, full of dead men's bones. They have no life. They have no vindication. God has never made Himself known in any organization. They say they are right because they are the ones that are saying it, but saying it does not make it so. They need the vindicated "Thus saith the Lord" of God, and they don't have it."
"Now let me say this here. I don't believe that God is calling only to the false church to repent. In this verse He is talking to His elect. They have some repenting to do, too. Many of His children are still in those false churches. They are those of whom it speaks in Ephesians 5:14, "Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee Light." To be asleep is not to be dead. These are sleeping amongst the dead. They are out there in the dead denominations. They are floating along with them. God cries out, "WAKE UP! Repent of your folly." Here they are lending their influence, giving their time and their money, actually their very lives to these antichrist organizations, and all the while thinking it is all right. They need to repent. They must repent. They need to have a change of mind and turn toward truth" (ibid. p. 355:3 - 361:1).
This rebuke is such an iron-clad presentation of the truth it leaves the object without excuse for not believing. The sinner must first allow himself to acknowledge his fault, and become convicted, penitent and corrected intellectually before grace can begin to exercise an affectionate discipline over his consciousness and life. Romans 2:13-15, "It is not the hearers of the Law that are righteous before God, but the doers of the Law who will be justified. When the Gentiles who lack the Law do by nature what the Law requires, they are a law to themselves, though they have none. they show that what the Law requires is written in their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their thoughts accuse or excuse them".
Revelation 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me." This prophecy touches upon Christ's 'parousia' and is directed to those who will receive His rebuke in Brother Branham's indictment of apostate Laodicea and "go forth to Him without the camp, bearing His reproach" (Hebrews 13:13; Matthew 25:6; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 18:4). Yes, it is a reproach to bear the Message; speaking the truth in love without respect of persons can have you hauled before the unjust judge.
Revelation 3:22, "He who overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me in My throne [which is the Millennium], even as I also overcame and sat down with My Father in His throne [which is heaven]. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches".
One day the lukewarm and indifferent will say, "I thought there was going to be a 'squeeze'." We have been experiencing a squeeze for thirteen years already, four of them before the Federal Court trying to defend ourselves against the lies of those who hate the first and last Adam and their children. What will it be like after the dispensation change when Satan is cast out and the real squeeze strikes?
I fear for the mass in circle of this Message who believe they are "hot," and they may be so in works and emotion, but has the spark of faith been kindled into flame? Or are they "lukewarm" and indifferent, presuming themselves "rich and in need of nothing"? If so, will they lay down their lives in the tribulation in order to maintain their names on the Book of Life? Or will they forsake Him then, and be LOST? George Orwell revealed the principle: "He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past controls the future." By manipulating the beliefs about past events, it is possible to influence future behavior as social attitudes are based on the experiences of the past. Denominationalism within and outside of the Message confirms this. If Christ's Bride is willing to bow the knee to the lies of the Pharisees who presently hold all but the Islamic world to ransom—and they are provoking the Muslims to choose submission or death—whence will our foolish virgin draw courage to refuse the mark of the Beast? If we cannot find the audacity to withstand thought control and speak the truth now under protection of the First Amendment, won't it be too late when this is withdrawn? It will certainly be too late to be born-again, for grace will be over, yet they will be required to speak out and die in martyrdom, or maintain their cowardice and have their name blotted from the Book of Life.
In Matthew 10:33, Jesus said, "Whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father who is in heaven." Jesus is the Truth, and you deny Him when you wink at the historical lies and propaganda delivered as truth by alien-controlled media, education, and "politically correct" pulpit educators of the non-elect. (See Newsletter #490).
How many ministers and Brethren in the circle of this Message are sufficiently "hot" as to inform themselves of the fact the Islamic people are innocent pawns insofar as 9/11 and WMD in Iraq and Iran are concerned, and to discover that World War III, which is to be between Political Islam and the political Zionists, was planned in the mid-nineteenth century along with World Wars I and II? What percentage of Christ's so-called Bride realize, or care that Osama bin Laden was a CIA employee, and that he will never be apprehended because he is dead, or that the "Saddam Hussein" who was hanged was not the man deposed by the USA? How many wise virgin understand that war against the abstract noun "terror" cannot be won by the (once) Christian nations as their alien masters are waging that war against them in order to realize Lucifer's totalitarian one world government? Remember the motto? "By Way of Deception Thou shalt make War" (John 8:44).
If you do not know these things, ask yourself, where is the Holy Spirit who guides into all truth? . . . And tell your pastor to get his feet off the desk, or you will vote with yours! Brother Branham said, "The church will say, "Well, wait a minute. I thought there was supposed to be a Bride, a ['parousia'] Coming of the Lord and a Bride." It's been gone for a long time. You knew nothing about it. It came secretly" (Door in a Door, #63-0223). nl491.htm

"Despite its vaunted First Amendment, America has also shown on countless occasions how it rids itself of its own heretics — often under cover of free speech and in the name of proverbial human rights. American politicians and academics are aware of the fact that even minor critical comment about Jews and Judaism can ruin their career — and life.
The Russian author, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, noted long ago, how the decline in courage had become a hallmark of America. America seems to have lost its civic courage, both as a whole and as a state of individual citizens. Such a decline in courage is particularly noticeable among the American ruling class and intellectual elites, and has created the impression of a complete loss of courage by the whole of American society.
"Of course," writes Solzhenitsyn, "there are many courageous individuals but they have no determining influence on public life. . . This cowardice has today become the main political and academic pillar in America and Americanized Europe" (Tomislav Sunic, "Homo Americanus: Child of the Postmodern Age," 2007).
As Sydney gears up for next week's APEC summit, water cannon, tasers and dogs replace mounted police, quarantined by a timely pandemic of equine influenza. Is this to train "many courageous individuals" to march to the NWO beat, to protect the elected tyranny, or to teach China how we respect human rights and civil liberties in a democracy? Is it later than you think? Amnesty International’s yearly report has concluded the United States is now the principle violator of human rights and freedoms worldwide.
President Putin asked laughing, "Am I a 'pure democrat'? Of course I am, absolutely. The problem is that I'm all alone—the only one of my kind in the whole wide world. Just look at what’s happening in North America, it’s simply awful—torture, homeless people, Guantanamo, people detained without trial and investigation. Just look at what’s happening in Europe—harsh treatment of demonstrators, rubber bullets and tear gas used first in one capital then in another, demonstrators killed on the streets. . . I have no one to talk to since Mahatma Gandhi died." Americans cannot deny this, so long as mad king George II provokes mother Russia, Iran, or any other people against whom Israel bears a grudge.
Has the Fed lost control over US interest rates? "Securitization" is a strained legal and accounting fiction that converts equity into debt and is subsidizing a sector which makes the macro economy more vulnerable and exports "packaged" bad debt to investors overseas. Is the "phantom-GDP" invented by US statistics tending to world depression with a collapse of the US dollar as the reserve currency, and will the EU and China be sucked into the vacuum? Could instability of the US dollar induce China to attack Taiwan, giving the US an excuse to go to war, thereby preserving the value of the dollar in her interest? Tsun Tsu? Questions, questions. . .
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.

American Airlines — "9/11 didn't Happen"
August 26, 2007 – WikiScanner discovered that American Airlines changed their Wikipedia entry to state that Flights 11 and 77 never flew on 9/11.
Original entry was:
Two American Airlines aircraft were hijacked and crashed during the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack: American Airlines Flight 77 (a Boeing 757) and American Airlines Flight 11 (a Boeing 767).
New entry is:
Two American Airlines aircraft were hijacked and crashed during the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack: Flight 77 (a Boeing 757) and Flight 11 (a Boeing 767). Although these flights were daily departures before and a month after September 11, 2001. Neither flight 11 nor 77 were scheduled on September 11, 2001. The records kept by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (www.bts.gov/gis/) do not list either flight that day.
A Google search of the IP address that made the change — 144.9.8.21 — is located at American Airlines.
Why the change American airlines? Did the flights actually operate or did we just imagine all of that?

Comment: "By Way of Deception Thou shalt make War."
The Ministry of Truth, Winston's place of work, contained, it was said, three thousand rooms above ground level, and corresponding ramifications below. The Ministry of Truth concerned itself with Lies. Party ownership of the print media made it easy to manipulate public opinion, and the film and radio carried the process further.
The primary job of the Ministry of Truth was to supply the citizens of Oceania with newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programmes, plays, novels — with every conceivable kind of information, instruction, or entertainment, from a statue to a slogan, from a lyric poem to a biological treatise, and from a child's spelling-book to a Newspeak dictionary. . .

Jesus in the Talmud
On 15 January 2007, Princeton University Press released a book by Professor Peter Schäfer, head of Princeton University's Judaic Studies Program and listed as "one of the world's most famous academic authorities on Judaism." The book is entitled "Jesus in the Talmud".
I read a review of this book and checked on Amazon.com just to be sure that what I read was true — even that such a book existed! According to the review, Peter Schäfer argues, contrary to the claims of the Jewish lobby, that Jesus is given a very poor and unflattering portrayal in the Jewish sacred texts of the "Talmud." It has often been claimed that only anti-Semites have promoted this allegedly false view of Jesus and that there are few Talmudic references to Jesus.
From a search with a surf-the-net-literate friend we were unable to find a copy of this book in any library in Australia — surprise, surprise — although the book ranked 31,332 on the Amazon.com site. We will get the book and make our own assessment.
On 2 February 2007, in the case of Jeremy Jones v The Bible Believers Church [2007] FCASS, Holocaust denial material, being allegations that the Holocaust did not occur (among other things), was found to contravene section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975, outlawing race hate. One wonders if Professor Peter Schäfer and Princeton University Press have also violated this Act, not on the Holocaust but on another "sensitive" ground, this time of religious difference? For the Race Hate Act, truth is not a defence, and all that matters is "offence" and also any "offence" that is "unreasonable" and "not in good faith".
Jeremy Jones ("The Last Word", Australia Israel Review June 2007) in commenting on the Bible Believers' Federal Court case finished his article with the following words:
"But on one issue I would hope that agreement by members of all faiths, and none, has been reached — that racism, and contempt for others, of the type expressed by the abovementioned sheiks (Muslimed) and the "pastor" (Christianed), is completely beyond the pale of acceptability."
Do the same standards apply to the Talmud and Judaism Mr. Jones? Maybe "the last word" hasn't yet been heard.

Comment: On the website of the Orthodox Jewish Hasidic Lubavitch group—one of the largest in the world—we find the following statement, complete with Talmudic citations:
"The Talmud (Babylonian edition) records other sins of 'Jesus the Nazarene':
1) He and his disciples practiced sorcery and black magic, led Jews astray into idolatry, and were sponsored by foreign, gentile powers for the purpose of subverting Jewish worship (Sanhedrin 43a).
2) He was sexually immoral, worshipped statues of stone (a brick is mentioned), was cut off from the Jewish people for his wickedness, and refused to repent (Sanhedrin 107b; Sotah 47a).
3) He learned witchcraft in Egypt and, to perform miracles, used procedures that involved cutting his flesh, which is also explicitly banned in the Bible (Shabbos 104b). (End quote from Lubavitch website June 20, 2000).
Let us examine further some of these anti-Christ Talmud passages:
Gittin 57a. Says Jesus is in hell, being boiled in "hot excrement."
Sanhedrin 43a. Says Jesus ("Yeshu" and in Soncino footnote #6, Yeshu "the Nazarene") was executed because he practiced sorcery: "It is taught that on the eve of Passover Jesus was hung, and forty days before this the proclamation was made: Jesus is to be stoned to death because he has practiced sorcery and has lured the people to idolatry. . . He was an enticer and of such thou shalt not pity or condone."
Kallah 51a. "The elders were once sitting in the gate when two young lads passed by; one covered his head and the other uncovered his head. Of him who uncovered his head Rabbi Eliezer remarked that he is a bastard. Rabbi Joshua remarked that he is the son of a niddah (a child conceived during a woman's menstrual period). Rabbi Akiba said that he is both a bastard and a son of a niddah.
"They said, 'What induced you to contradict the opinion of your colleagues?' He replied, "I will prove it concerning him." He went to the lad's mother and found her sitting in the market selling beans.
"He said to her, 'My daughter, if you will answer the question I will put to you, I will bring you to the world to come' (eternal life). She said to him, 'Swear it to me.'
"Rabbi Akiba, taking the oath with his lips but annulling it in his heart, said to her, 'What is the status of your son?' She replied, 'When I entered the bridal chamber I was niddah (menstruating) and my husband kept away from me; but my best man had intercourse with me and this son was born to me.' Consequently the child was both a bastard and the son of a niddah.
"It was declared, '. . Blessed be the God of Israel Who Revealed His Secret to Rabbi Akiba. . ."
In addition to the theme that God rewards clever liars, the preceding Talmud discussion is actually about Jesus Christ (the bastard boy who "uncovered his head" and was conceived in the filth of menstruation). The boy's adulterous mother in this Talmud story is the mother of Christ, Blessed Mary (called Miriam and sometimes, Miriam the hairdresser, in the Talmud).
"The Editio Princeps of the complete Code of Talmudic Law, Maimonides' Mishneh Torah — replete not only with the most offensive precepts against all Gentiles but also with explicit attacks on Christianity and on Jesus (after whose name the author adds piously, 'May the name of the wicked perish'). . . (Dr. Israel Shahak, Jewish History, Jewish Religion, p. 21).
"The Talmud contains a few explicit references to Jesus. . . These references are certainly not complimentary. . . There seems little doubt that the account of the execution of Jesus on the eve of Passover does refer to the Christian Jesus. . . The passage in which Jesus' punishment in hell is described also seems to refer to the Christian Jesus. It is a piece of anti-Christian polemic dating from the post-70 CE period. . ." (Hyam Maccoby, Judaism on Trial, pp. 26-27).
"According to the Talmud, Jesus was executed by a proper rabbinical court for idolatry, inciting other Jews to idolatry, and contempt of rabbinical authority. All classical Jewish sources which mention his execution are quite happy to take responsibility for it; in the talmudic account the Romans are not even mentioned.
"The more popular accounts—which were nevertheless taken quite seriously—such as the notorious Toldot Yeshu are even worse, for in addition to the above crimes they accuse him of witchcraft. The very name 'Jesus' was for Jews a symbol of all that is abominable and this popular tradition still persists. . .
"The Hebrew form of the name Jesus—Yeshu—was interpreted as an acronym for the curse, 'may his name and memory be wiped out,' which is used as an extreme form of abuse. In fact, anti-zionist Orthodox Jews (such as Neturey Qarta) sometimes refer to Herzl as 'Herzl Jesus' and I have found in religious zionist writings expressions such as "Nasser Jesus" and more recently 'Arafat Jesus" (Dr. Israel Shahak, Jewish History, Jewish Religion, pp. 97-98, 118).

According to The Australian Jewish News (Melbourne Edition, Volume 62 #43, p. 9) on July 26, 1996:
CHRISTIANS have to make a choice — "either retain their present belief system and be antisemitic or form a partnership with the Jewish people." This is the view of Bar-llan University's Rabbi Dr Pinchas Hayman, who is active in Jewish-Christian dialogue and in encouraging modern Christianity to return to its Jewish roots by observing the Seven Noahide Laws.
"As long as Christians keep Jesus as God, they will be antisemitic because that belief must lead them to believe that those who reject Jesus reject God. . . That's how the process of satanising the Jew's began. That belief is the root cause of 1,500 years of the Christian idolatrous antisemitism which led to the Holocaust". (END QUOTE).
"By Way of Deception Thou shalt make War."
Christians do NOT have "Jewish roots," our roots are in God's promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, thus to Israel, which is not "Jewish." The Noahide laws are fraudulent, and the evidence paints Zionists as the authors of three "holocausts," each of six million Jews, just in the twentieth century. I should mention that we had no legal representation in the hearings; our evidence was returned four times unread, and two judges neglected to test the correspondence, claims, or systematically misrepresented evidence of our persecutors of 13 years. The Bible, Jewish encyclopedias and historians agree very few Jews are related to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or are even Semitic, and that Judaism is Pharisaism, the antithesis of Moses and the prophets of the Old Testament as Jesus described their holy book the Talmud (Matthew 15:1-9). "Now watch, not just the carnal church, the one out there, the regular routine carnal church, the Esau group. We got now the Judatarian group [in the circle of this Message], which is far more treacherous, far more treacherous, coming right up into the very hands of the blessing" (William Branham, Hearing, Recognizing, Acting on the Word of God, p. 15:105-106). Judas make-believer ministers permit rabbis to speak from their pulpits!

What do Primakov (Pinchas Finkelstein), (Jewish spymaster) Marcus Wolfe and DHS have in Common? Answer: Jewish Judge Michael Chertoff
And the greatest threat to liberty the world has ever seen.
For Instance: "This [National ID Card] "card" was designed for Homeland Security by the former East German STAZI chief, Marcus Wolfe, a master of manipulation and intimidation and Primakov the former head of the KGB in the USSR. These two former spy chiefs are who really run our SECRET National Interior Spy Service. Bush employed them specifically for what they brought from their communist states — now they decide who lives and who dies in America! These men have not changed, they are who they are, and that's why Bush and the Bandits hired them for HOMELAND Security. If these men appeared for work, in the uniforms of their former States, the public would be outraged, and rightfully so! How is it that the radical right continues to decry Communism, yet they have allowed Bush to employ top communist counter-intelligence officers to oversee every facet of our lives?"

US-approved Troop-hunts for Terrorists in Pakistan
August 23, 2007 – Newly uncovered "rules of engagement" show the US military gave elite units broad authority more than three years ago to pursue suspected terrorists into Pakistan, with no mention of telling the Pakistanis in advance. . .
Told of the guidelines, Pakistani military spokesman Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad said, "This is all nonsense. Pakistan never allowed the coalition forces to enter into our territory while chasing militants. There was no such agreement, there was no such understanding". . . As for "geographic limits," the memo states: "General rule: penetrate no deeper than 10 km," or 6.2 miles. . . Full story: truthout.org
Islamabad, August 30, 2007 – President Pervez Musharraf has apparently agreed to resign as army chief during negotiations with former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on a deal that would allow him to serve another term as president and for her to return to Pakistan to contest elections, Pakistani officials said Wednesday.

Iraq Corruption Whistleblowers face Penalties
August 24, 2007 – One after another, the men and women who have stepped forward to report corruption in the massive effort to rebuild Iraq have been vilified, fired and demoted. Or worse.
For daring to report illegal arms sales, Navy veteran Donald Vance says he was imprisoned by the American military in a security compound outside Baghdad and subjected to harsh interrogation methods. There were times, huddled on the floor in solitary confinement with that head-banging music blaring dawn to dusk and interrogators yelling the same questions over and over, that Vance began to wish he had just kept his mouth shut.
He had thought he was doing a good and noble thing when he started telling the FBI about the guns and the land mines and the rocket-launchers — all of them being sold for cash, no receipts necessary, he said. He told a federal agent the buyers were Iraqi insurgents, American soldiers, State Department workers, and Iraqi embassy and ministry employees. . .
Corruption has long plagued Iraq reconstruction. Hundreds of projects may never be finished, including repairs to the country's oil pipelines and electricity system. Congress gave more than $30 billion to rebuild Iraq, and at least $8.8 billion of it has disappeared, according to a government reconstruction audit. . . Full story: msnbc.msn.com truthout.org
Comment: God bless brave men and women who esteem truth and honour above their mortal lives. The motto and object of the Illuminati who rule the United States is to create (Lucifer's totalitarian New World) "Order out of Chaos." Illuminus F. D. Roosevelt knew, "If something happens in politics you can bet it was planned that way" as illustrated by the quagmire in Iraq, Afghanistan's record levels of opium in 2007 for the second straight year, led by a staggering 45 percent increase in the Taliban stronghold of Helmand Province, and also the New Orleans reconstruction fiasco.

Opened and Closed Doors
We need to learn to thank the Lord for closed doors just as much as we do for open doors. The reason God closes doors is because He has not prepared anything over there for us. If he didn't close the wrong door we would never find our way to the right door. Even when we don't realize it, God directs our paths through the closing and opening of doors. When one door closes, it forces us to change our course. Another door closes; it forces us to change our course yet again.
Then finally, we find the open door and walk right into our blessing. But instead of praising God for the closed door (which kept us out of trouble), we get upset because we "judge by the appearances." And in our own arrogance, or ignorance, we insist that we know what is right.
We have a very present help in the time of need who is always standing guard. Because He walks ahead of us, He can see trouble down the road and He sets up road blocks and detours accordingly. But through our lack of wisdom we try to tear down the roadblocks or push aside the detour signs. Then the minute we get into trouble, we start crying "Lord, how could this happen to me?"
We have got to realize that the closed door was a blessing. Didn't He say that "No good thing will He withhold from them that love Him?" If you get terminated from your job — don't be down, instead thank God for the new opportunities that will manifest themselves — it might be a better job, or an opportunity to go to school. If that man or woman won't return your call — it might not be them, it might be the Lord setting up a roadblock (just let it go).
One time a person had a bank he had been doing business with for many years tell him "NO" for a $10,000 loan. The Lord led him to call another bank. That bank approved a $40,000 loan for him at a lower interest rate than his own bank had advertised.
I'm so grateful, for the many times God has closed doors to me, just to open them in the most unexpected places. "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way" (Psalms 37:23). The mountain top is glorious, but it is in the Valley that I will grow!
Always Remember God gives you. . .

Lukewarm and Indifferent
Jesus said, "The entrance into My Kingdom is narrow, the way leading to eternal Life fraught with afflictions, and there are few who find it. Beware of false teachers who come disguised as sheep while inwardly they are voracious wolves" (Matthew 7:14-15). Paul said, "All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution at the hands of those who hate Him. In fact, evil men and false teachers will go from bad to worse, seducing others as Satan has deceived them" (II Timothy 3:12-13).
We enter Christ's Kingdom by "The washing of water by the Word," receiving the mind of God in us (Ephesians 5:26-27). Ministers and laymen teaching untruth are not necessarily deliberate liars and may be sincerely deceived by Satan, having failed to consult God. They will genuinely believe the Message but quote the letter contrary to the Spirit, and falling into error, mislead others into greater discrepancy. This is a trial to keep you watchful, receiving the Word with all readiness of mind then searching the Scriptures whether those things were so. You are either hot or cold, or you are lukewarm and indifferent like the lass saying, "He loves me, He loves me not," as she plucks petals from a flower.
We must remain vigilant to guard against becoming lukewarm. I Peter 4:12, "Do not be surprised, Brethren, at the fiery trials that are coming as if this were some strange, unusual thing that is going to happen to you." The trial is firstly to prove your faith. For as Eve discovered, just one word off is the kingdom of Satan. Remember, those loveable, caring people who are deceived sincerely believe they are right; yet they "compass sea and land to convince one proselyte, and when he is deceived, they make him twofold more the child of hell than themselves."
Don't look for short cuts, run the extra mile along the hard road and enter by the narrow gate. "Give diligence to present yourself to God approved, a workman with no cause to be ashamed, correctly dividing the Word of truth" (II Timothy 2:15). The interpretation of a message of unknown tongues given to Brother Branham said, "Because you have chosen the narrow path, the harder way, you have walked in your own choosing. You have picked the precise and correct way, and it is My way. Because of this momentous decision, a huge portion of heaven awaits you. What a glorious decision you have made. This in itself is that which will make, and come to pass, the tremendous victory in the love Divine." The realization of the capstone revelation replicating the stature of the perfect Man.
God wants us to develop a Christ-like character through suffering as He suffered (Hebrews 2; James 5:10-11). We are all tried and chastened as sons. The church that is not suffering, and is not being tried, is not of God. Hebrews 12:6, "Whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives: if you are without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then you are bastards, and not sons".
Other than those who are saints, the whole world is in Laodicea. Laodicea means "people's rights," or communism, it is a woman's name and a spirit we must overcome. She has "crept in unawares" and seduced the once Christian world. The only exit out of Laodicea is the entrance into Christ. Every soul in the circle of this Message who has not been born again is imprisoned in Laodicea now.
Revelation 3:14-19, "To the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; The Words of the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the Creation of God." This is the Capstone Revelation of Himself that causes Christ's end-time Bride to cry, "Grace! Grace!" as she hears her name called from the Lamb's Book of Life and comes out of death in church creeds into the living Body Word of God (Zechariah 4:7; Revelation 18:4). When Christ's end-time Bride hears the Word for her hour she will come out of her, the church, with PART-Word and no Mediator, into Him, the fullness of the Word.
Jesus is the God of the Amen, the perfect and complete personal conclusion of the revelation of God (John 1:18). Jehovah of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 65:16-19; John 10:30). Amen means, "So mote it be." As the God of the Amen His ways can never change; His Word is final and cannot be added to or diminished (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8; Revelation 18-19).
He is eminently faithful, "In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; wherein He has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He has purposed in Himself: that in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him." For God is governing in the affairs of men "to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He has made us accepted in the beloved" (Ephesians 1:6-10). As He abides faithful, we may "be confident that He who has begun a good work in us will perform it until the day of the Lord" (Philippians 1:6).
He is the faithful and true witness. That word "true" expresses perfect realization compared with partial realization. John the Baptist and all previous prophets expressed certain Attributes of the Logos, whereas Jesus was the Logos or fullness of God manifest in flesh, of whom Job said, "After my skin worms have destroyed this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God." During the Church Ages when the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals we knew Him imperfectly by PART-Word, and saw as it were His reflection in a mirror dimly; now, since we have the fullness of the Word, that which was in part is done away; we see Him face to face, and know as we are known" (I Corinthians 13:9-12; Hebrews 4:12). But one day we will be changed in the atoms. We will put on immortality and be all swallowed up in Life. Then we will realize realization — that which is true, manifested eternal Life.
The word witness means "martyr," and Jesus was faithful unto death. The coming of the Holy Spirit to redeem and regenerate men's souls is witness that Jesus was a faithful martyr. He was the Comforter who came back in Spirit upon the souls of His elect (John 14:18). But one day when He comes back in flesh, He will prove who is the only wise potentate and Lord of Glory, the Faithful and True Witness, Creator and Sustainer, Perfect Realization, the Amen of God. In Jesus Messiah is realized all that belongs to a true and faithful witness. He saw with His own eyes that which He professes to attest. He was competent to relate this for others, and willing to faithfully and truthfully do so.
As the Logos — or expressed eternal thoughts of God, He is God, the Creator of a finished physical creation, but here He is speaking of creating Himself a part of another creation, a special designation of Himself in the form of His glorified Family, the true and elect Church of which, as Jesus Messiah, He is the beginning. This is the new creation in which God and man are united as Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, "I pray not only for My disciples, but also for those who will believe on Me through their Word; that they all may be one; as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that You have sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one: I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them, as You have loved Me" (John 17:20-23). II Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any one is in Christ he is a new creation: old has passed away; new Life has come".
Though man was of the old order or creation, in union with Christ he has become the new creation of God. Ephesians 2:10, "For we are His workmanship created in union with Christ Jesus unto good works." Ephesians 4:24, "Put on the new nature that is created in God's likeness in genuine righteousness and true holiness".
At the end of Laodicea Jesus Messiah is ready to reveal His fullness, characterised by certainty, sincerity, and truth: "the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the Creation of God. . . in whom all the promises of God are assured, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God by us" (II Corinthians 1:20). He can look with approbation only on the same in others. In contrast, she who claims to be His image reflecting His glory, is His antithesis, apostate and insincere. With great displeasure He says, "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I wish you were cold or hot. Because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue you out of My mouth".
Here we have three kinds of believer. Those whose service to the Lord is "hot," are true believers, the "lukewarm" are make-believers in the circle of the Message who have "tasted of the heavenly gift, and are partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good Word of God, and the powers of the world to come" (Hebrews 6:4-6); but grace having failed to kindle the spark, they are indifferent to the promises and threats of God's Word as though preaching and teaching were as vain as the wind. He who is cold is the "unbeliever," but it was from among those without, not the lukewarm and indifferent, that Jesus drew His recruits.
In Luke 7:36-50, "One of the Pharisees invited Jesus home for dinner, and a sinner woman of the city, learning that Jesus was there, brought an alabaster flask of perfume, and going in, knelt behind him, weeping; she began to wet His feet with her tears, then wipe them with her hair, and tenderly kiss and anoint them with the perfume. Now when His host saw this, he said to himself, If this man were a prophet, he would have known what manner of woman is touching Him, for she is devoted to sin."
"Discerning the thoughts and intents of his heart, Jesus said, Simon, I have something to tell you. And he said, Master, what is that? Two men were in debt to a moneylender: one owed him five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when neither could pay, he forgave them both. Now which of them will love him more? Simon answered, The one to whom he forgave more. Jesus said, you have judged correctly."
"Then turning to the woman, He said to Simon, You see this woman? As I entered your home you gave Me no water for My feet: but she has washed My feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair. You gave Me no kiss, but from the moment I came in she has not stopped tenderly kissing My feet. You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume. So I tell you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she has greatly loved. But the person who is forgiven little loves little."
"And he said to her, Your sins are forgiven. Those at the table with Him began to say to themselves, Who is this that even forgives sins? And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace".
Those who claim to be "hot" are often "lukewarm," but God has good and kind people whom He will reward at the Great White Throne (Matthew 25:25:45). Our Scripture Concordance to Sermons by William M. Branham was printed by a university at cost; the program for the computer version was compiled by a USAF officer, while a school, a home, and three stores donated computer time. When we needed images for the slideshow FaithNow, a friend photographed, scanned and retouched photos from Spoken Word Books, and an art school printed large posters. Now we seek high resolution clear images to produce a better quality version of Footprints on the Sands of Time.
In Matthew 22:1-14, "Jesus again spoke to them in parables, saying, The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a King, who prepared a wedding feast for His son, Jesus Messiah, and sent out His servants the prophets to notify those who were invited to the wedding, but Israel would not come. Once more He sent other servants, saying, Tell those invited, Behold, I have prepared My dinner: My oxen and My fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast. But they made light of it, and went off, one to his farm, another to his merchandise; the rest took His servants, and ill-treated and killed them" (Matthew 23:34-35).
"Infuriated, the King sent Roman General Titus, whose troops destroyed those murderers and burned Jerusalem. He then told His servants, The banquet is ready, but the invited guests proved unworthy, so go to the highways, and invite to the marriage the Gentiles. So the angels to the seven Church Ages went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they could find, both bad and good: and the wedding hall was furnished with guests."
"But when the King came in to meet the guests, He noticed a man quoting the Message who had no wedding garment of the revelation for his day, to whom He said, Friend, how did you enter here without the baptism with the Holy Spirit? And he was speechless. Then the King said to His servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into outer darkness; there men will be weeping and gnashing their teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen".
Jesus found those who claimed to be "hot" believers to the exclusion of all else, were lukewarm hypocrites and make-believers open to any excuse as to why it can't be done, or why God's Word won't work; and who sold out for popularity with the world just like Judas. Brother Branham said, they would not be Methodists or Baptists, who are unbelievers to begin with; they are in the circle of this Message, quoting the Prophet from the pulpit — so close "that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Were we to apply this parable to the end-time church which has been called to the wedding feast of the Lamb, we would recognize that they make so many excuses as to why they should not display the Token and courageously accept unpopular truths, they will be shut out and go to the judgment instead.
Our "works" reveal the quality of our character: lukewarm hearts produce lukewarm works. Today there is no desperation because life is materially easy; we live in a wasteful, "throw-away" society so focused upon ten senses, the wrapping is prized more than the product or soul inside. An obsessive fantasy with illusions that serve the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life, has made men lukewarm and indifferent to the reality of God's creative Word.
Brother Branham asked, "What about the Pentecostals? Do they have the Word? Give them the Word test and see. They will sell out the Word for a sensation just about every time. If you can produce a manifestation like oil and blood and tongues and other signs, whether in the Word or not, or whether properly interpreted from the Word, the majority will fall for it. But what has happened to the Word? The Word has been put aside, so God says, "I am going against you all. I will spue you out of My mouth. This is the end. For seven out of seven ages, I have seen nothing but men esteeming their own word above Mine. So at the end of this age I am spuing you out of My mouth. It is all over. I am going to speak all right. Yes, I am here in the midst of the Church. The Amen of God, faithful and true will reveal Himself and it will BE BY MY PROPHET." Oh yes, that is so."
Revelation 10:7: "And in the days of the Voice of the seventh messenger, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished as He hath declared to His servants the prophets."
"There it is. He is sending a vindicated prophet. He is sending a prophet after almost two thousand years. He is sending someone who is so far from organization, education, and the world of religion that as John the Baptist and Elijah of old, he will hear only from God and he will have "thus saith the Lord" and speak for God. He will be God's mouthpiece and HE, AS IT IS DECLARED IN MALACHI 4:6, WILL TURN THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN BACK TO THE FATHERS. He will bring back the elect of the last day and they will hear a vindicated prophet give the exact truth as it was with Paul. He will restore the truth as they had it. And those elect with him in that day will be the ones who truly manifest the Lord and be His Body and be His Voice and perform His works. Hallelujah! Do you see it? (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 339:1).
Revelation 3:17-18, "Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel you to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness does not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see".
Jesus is indicting the church for spiritual conceit. Not only is Laodicea materially rich, she is suffering the "strong delusion" prophesied by Paul in II Thessalonians 2:11-12, "that they should believe the lie" Satan told the first Eve – that God loves the prostitute second Eve and her (once) Protestant harlot daughters so much they will not "surely" die; even though He has said He will cast them all into the tribulation and kill them with the second death (Revelation 2:20-23; 20:14-15).
This is Laodicea, but do not you see that it also applies to the majority of those within the circle of this Message? The whole world is in Laodicea, and the only way out is to be baptized into Christ by a clear revelation of the end-time Message. Unless a Message believer is born-again, he is in Laodicea. Oh, we have the Message, we recite and preach the Message quotes. So did Judas Iscariot. This is aggravated ignorance over against a supposed multiplied knowledge, but the one who thinks he has need of nothing needs counsel on the vital points of self-preservation.
The purchase price of "gold tried in the Supernatural Fire of the Holy Spirit" is surrender of self — self-sufficiency, self- pride, self-confidence, self-involved intellectual reasoning; that is, a penitential sacrifice in self-denial, in order that the Lord's counsel may be followed knowingly, intentionally, with eyes wide open.
"Eye salve" indicates justification by grace through the clear understanding of faith. "White raiment" signifies the righteousness of sanctification within and a visible modesty without, whilst the "gold" which cannot be seen represents indwelling Deity by the baptism with the Holy Ghost. Our wealth is the heavenly treasure of the imputed righteousness of Christ (II Corinthians 8:9).
Revelation 3:19, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent." His rebuke and chastening is an expression of His love with a view to correction in contrast to indifference which perverts love into laxity and accounts punishment as harshness (Hebrews 12:5-13; Proverbs 3:12). "As many as I love," not as many as love Me. II Thessalonians 2:10-11, "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (The Truth, Jesus Christ, did not love them — John 14:6). And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie" that Jesus loves us all.
It is His love for us, not our love for Him. It is all of grace. His love is elective love by His sovereign choosing. Romans 9:11-13, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. . . (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of Him that calls)".
If you can see this, you will recognize that it is not the false church He is calling to repentance but His elect, "as many as I love." Brother Branham said, "this false church has zeal; make no mistake about that. Her zeal has literally been that of the Jews, John 2:17, "The zeal of thine house hath eaten Me up." But it is a wrong zeal. It is for the house of their own building. It is for their own creeds, dogmas, organizations, their own righteousness. They have put the Word out for their own ideas. They deposed the Holy Ghost and made men into leaders. They have put aside Eternal Life as a Person, and make it good works, or even church conformity rather than good works."
(Now bring that home into the circle of this Message, as discussed in Newsletter #488, Brethren are "hot" for the quotes from which they are building a house of creed and dogma, not having taken the Message back to Scripture from Genesis to Revelation to understand what the Spirit is saying).
"But God is calling for another zeal. It is the zeal to cry "I AM WRONG." Now who is going to say that he is wrong? What is it that all these denominations are based upon?—the claim to originality, and that of God,—the claim that they are right. Now they ALL cannot be right. In fact NOT ONE of them is right. They are whited sepulchres, full of dead men's bones. They have no life. They have no vindication. God has never made Himself known in any organization. They say they are right because they are the ones that are saying it, but saying it does not make it so. They need the vindicated "Thus saith the Lord" of God, and they don't have it."
"Now let me say this here. I don't believe that God is calling only to the false church to repent. In this verse He is talking to His elect. They have some repenting to do, too. Many of His children are still in those false churches. They are those of whom it speaks in Ephesians 5:14, "Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee Light." To be asleep is not to be dead. These are sleeping amongst the dead. They are out there in the dead denominations. They are floating along with them. God cries out, "WAKE UP! Repent of your folly." Here they are lending their influence, giving their time and their money, actually their very lives to these antichrist organizations, and all the while thinking it is all right. They need to repent. They must repent. They need to have a change of mind and turn toward truth" (ibid. p. 355:3 - 361:1).
This rebuke is such an iron-clad presentation of the truth it leaves the object without excuse for not believing. The sinner must first allow himself to acknowledge his fault, and become convicted, penitent and corrected intellectually before grace can begin to exercise an affectionate discipline over his consciousness and life. Romans 2:13-15, "It is not the hearers of the Law that are righteous before God, but the doers of the Law who will be justified. When the Gentiles who lack the Law do by nature what the Law requires, they are a law to themselves, though they have none. they show that what the Law requires is written in their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their thoughts accuse or excuse them".
Revelation 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me." This prophecy touches upon Christ's 'parousia' and is directed to those who will receive His rebuke in Brother Branham's indictment of apostate Laodicea and "go forth to Him without the camp, bearing His reproach" (Hebrews 13:13; Matthew 25:6; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 18:4). Yes, it is a reproach to bear the Message; speaking the truth in love without respect of persons can have you hauled before the unjust judge.
Revelation 3:22, "He who overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me in My throne [which is the Millennium], even as I also overcame and sat down with My Father in His throne [which is heaven]. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches".
One day the lukewarm and indifferent will say, "I thought there was going to be a 'squeeze'." We have been experiencing a squeeze for thirteen years already, four of them before the Federal Court trying to defend ourselves against the lies of those who hate the first and last Adam and their children. What will it be like after the dispensation change when Satan is cast out and the real squeeze strikes?
I fear for the mass in circle of this Message who believe they are "hot," and they may be so in works and emotion, but has the spark of faith been kindled into flame? Or are they "lukewarm" and indifferent, presuming themselves "rich and in need of nothing"? If so, will they lay down their lives in the tribulation in order to maintain their names on the Book of Life? Or will they forsake Him then, and be LOST? George Orwell revealed the principle: "He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past controls the future." By manipulating the beliefs about past events, it is possible to influence future behavior as social attitudes are based on the experiences of the past. Denominationalism within and outside of the Message confirms this. If Christ's Bride is willing to bow the knee to the lies of the Pharisees who presently hold all but the Islamic world to ransom—and they are provoking the Muslims to choose submission or death—whence will our foolish virgin draw courage to refuse the mark of the Beast? If we cannot find the audacity to withstand thought control and speak the truth now under protection of the First Amendment, won't it be too late when this is withdrawn? It will certainly be too late to be born-again, for grace will be over, yet they will be required to speak out and die in martyrdom, or maintain their cowardice and have their name blotted from the Book of Life.
In Matthew 10:33, Jesus said, "Whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father who is in heaven." Jesus is the Truth, and you deny Him when you wink at the historical lies and propaganda delivered as truth by alien-controlled media, education, and "politically correct" pulpit educators of the non-elect. (See Newsletter #490).
How many ministers and Brethren in the circle of this Message are sufficiently "hot" as to inform themselves of the fact the Islamic people are innocent pawns insofar as 9/11 and WMD in Iraq and Iran are concerned, and to discover that World War III, which is to be between Political Islam and the political Zionists, was planned in the mid-nineteenth century along with World Wars I and II? What percentage of Christ's so-called Bride realize, or care that Osama bin Laden was a CIA employee, and that he will never be apprehended because he is dead, or that the "Saddam Hussein" who was hanged was not the man deposed by the USA? How many wise virgin understand that war against the abstract noun "terror" cannot be won by the (once) Christian nations as their alien masters are waging that war against them in order to realize Lucifer's totalitarian one world government? Remember the motto? "By Way of Deception Thou shalt make War" (John 8:44).
If you do not know these things, ask yourself, where is the Holy Spirit who guides into all truth? . . . And tell your pastor to get his feet off the desk, or you will vote with yours! Brother Branham said, "The church will say, "Well, wait a minute. I thought there was supposed to be a Bride, a ['parousia'] Coming of the Lord and a Bride." It's been gone for a long time. You knew nothing about it. It came secretly" (Door in a Door, #63-0223). nl491.htm
