The Presence of God Unrecognized

Bible Believers' Newsletter 822

"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 appreciate your fellowship in God's unchanging Word.

Speaking to ministers Brother Branham said, "Many men go out, impatient; but believing that the time is near, you try to do something within yourself. Wait upon the Lord. Patience is virtue. If you can have patience, it's virtue. . . "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." Not they that try to get ahead of the Lord, they that try to tell the Lord, "Lord, I know You want me to do this, and glory to God I . . ." Don't do that. Wait upon the Lord. . . Many churches tried to produce messiahs. But God had the time set for His Messiah. . ."

"We are creatures of time. He's God of eternity. We try to press ourself; we try to make something different, "Oh, this has got to be done." Remember, He knows all about it. It's going to happen anyhow. See? Let Him do it. Just commit yourself to Him. "Look up," and shine with joy of the Lord to know that you've been privileged, your eyes have come open and see this day. Trust in Him for the future" (Shalom, p. 24:148-149, 160-161).

Before His crucifixion Jesus prophesied the Seven Seals in Matthew 24 and warned the Church of Old Jerusalem Rome would utterly destroy their city. They were to "look up," and flee the moment they see the legionnaires pennants on the Mount of Olives. The invasion took place forty years later and historians inform us that the Christians all escaped to safety. Later in that same conversation Jesus warned His end-time Bride throughout the world to "look up" for certain unmistakable signs confirming "our redemption draws nigh." Astronomers have established these signs will soon be visible in the sky. Most of them pertain to Israel, but as Israel is God's timepiece we are bound to study them prayerfully. It appears that they are providing us about one year's advance notice, but I may be mistaken, so "look up".

What more can the Lord do to catch the attention of believers? He has sent and vindicated the prophet William Branham (1909-1965) who has restored the apostolic faith (Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11), and he has "finished the mystery of God" by introducing Christ revealed in His own Word (I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 10:1-7). The sign of His second or 'parousia' Coming was manifested publicly eight days before the event (Daniel 7:9; Matthew 26:64; Acts 1:9-11; Revelation 1:7, 14). God veiled Himself behind His Prophet and for thirty years revealed Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and today and forever by discerning the thoughts and intents of people's hearts in this Sodom and Gomorrah generation around the world (Luke 17:28-30; Genesis 18; Hebrews 4:12; 13:8). The besetting sin today is miscegenation called 'multiculturalism' between Cainites and the sons of Adam as it was in the days of Noah so another consummation of life is looming, this time by fire (Matthew 24:37; Genesis 6). For years now most of our ministry has been to souls who have rejected grace and are imprisoned now; surely God's longsuffering grace must soon be replaced with judgment.

Please read this Newsletter carefully, proving what we have written with the written and spoken Word, and speak with your pastor.

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.

Sochi Olympics Threat of Terrorist Attack. Who is Behind Caucasus Terrorists?

February 6, 2014 — In the weeks leading up to the Sochi Winter Olympics, the Western Media has released a dribble of "trustworthy reports" examining "the likelihood" of a terrorist attack at the height of the Olympic Games. . . The Sochi Games are occurring at the height of a Worldwide crisis marked by the confrontation between the US and Russia on the geopolitical chessboard. In turn, the ongoing protest movement in Ukraine has a bearing on Russia's geopolitical control of the Black Sea.

What would be the underlying political objective of a terrorist attack? Are these slanted media reports solely intended to create an aura of fear and uncertainty which causes political embarrassment to the Russian authorities? While network TV and the tabloids have their eyes riveted on the Black Widow, the more fundamental question as to Who is behind the Caucasus terrorists goes unmentioned. None of the news reports has focused on the fundamental question which is required in assessing the terror threat. Both the history of Al Qaeda as well as recent developments in Syria and Libya confirm unequivocally that the Al Qaeda network is covertly supported by Western intelligence.

History: Who is Behind the Chechen Terrorists? What are the historical origins of the Chechen jihadists, which are now allegedly threatening the Sochi Games? Who is behind them?

In the 1990s, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US waged a covert war against Russia. The objective was to promote the secession of Chechnya, a "renegade autonomous region" of the Russian Federation, at the crossroads of strategic oil and gas pipeline routes. This was a covert intelligence operation. The main Chechen rebel leaders, Shamil Basayev and Al Khattab, were trained and indoctrinated in CIA-sponsored camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The two main Chechen jihadist formations, affiliated to Al Qaeda were estimated at 35,000 strong. They were supported by Pakistan's Military intelligence (ISI) on behalf of the CIA; funding was also channeled to Chechnya through the Wahhabi missions from Saudi Arabia. The ISI played a key role in organizing and training the Chechnya rebel army . . . The Sochi Olympics are at a strategic location on the Black Sea at the crossroads of Russia's oil and gas pipelines.

The forbidden question (both by the West as well as by the Russian government) in addressing the possibility of a terror attack is: Who is behind the Terrorists?

While the US sponsored Chechen rebels were defeated in the 1990s by Russian forces, various Al Qaeda affiliated formations—including the "Caucasus Emirate militant group, Imarat Kavkaz (IK)—remain active in the Southern Caucasus region of the Russian Federation (e.g. Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia and Abkhazia). Both the Russian based Al Qaeda groups as well as the broader network of jihadist formations in the Middle East, Central Asia and the Balkans constitute CIA "intelligence assets" which could potentially be used to trigger a terrorist event at the height of the Sochi Olympics . . .

The more fundamental questions which both the Russian and Western media are not addressing for obvious reasons:

Who is behind the Caucasus terrorists? What geopolitical interests would be served, were the US and its allies to decide to trigger a "False Flag" terror event before or during the Sochi Olympic Games? Full story: globalresearch.ca

The East African Response Force, a Creation of the Pentagon

February 11, 2014 — The intervention of both France and the US has only worsened the conditions for people in the CAR. With the dislocation of tens of thousands of Muslims who are fleeing out of the country to neighboring Chad, divisions are becoming more pronounced based upon religious differences and perceptions of political power.

The only solution being advocated as a next step in the process is the deployment of more troops from the European Union (EU). The United Nations Security Council has authorized the deployment of EU troops but there is no evidence to suggest that this will stabilize the situation.

The growing French, US and EU military involvement in Africa is designed to secure western imperialist dominance over the oil, diamonds, gold and uranium that exist in abundance in both the CAR and South Sudan. These western states are creating the conditions for the deterioration of the societies involved, and consequently through their false propaganda about humanitarian assistance, will only provide a further rationale for an even heavier military occupation . . .

Haredim Community opposes Israel's Draft Law: Is Civil War brewing?

February 6, 2014 — The state of Israel arrested an ultra-Orthodox man of the Haredim community for refusing a mandate to enlist in the Israeli-Defense Forces (IDF). The move by the Israeli government sparked protests across the nation demanding his release from a military prison . . .

Before the Israel became a state for the Jewish people, the Haredim were in opposition to Zionism (a political movement). The majority of the Haredim community opposes the state of Israel for religious and political reasons. The Haredi religion teaches that the Jewish people will not settle in Israel by enforcing violence against the indigenous population and will not engage in any war with other nations in the Middle East or in the world and behalf of the Zionist state. The Haredim opposes Israel's ethnic cleaning of the Palestinians and other Jewish settlers' expansionist policies regarding Palestinian land. The Haredim say that Israel's militaristic nature has transformed the Jewish character of spirituality into a warlike state. The Haredim has been facing a number of issues including discrimination and religious persecution by the Israeli government. There is also a rise of Haredim families living in poverty. Now with the arrest of a Yeshiva student from the Haredim community, police authorities will increase its harassment and arrests of those who refuse conscription into the Israeli army.

Israel is preparing for a major war involving Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon, and a possible strike in Syria with collaboration with the US military if the Assad government does not meet its deadline to remove its chemical weapons. Israel also has Iran in its future war plans that would involve a military strike if nuclear talks fail. That is why Israel needs all members of its society to enlist in the military. But the Haredim have moral values, those that are for a peaceful world, free from violence. . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Comment: No one has sought to remove Israel's chemical weapons. Based on past form one would expect Israel to strike Syria once its chemical weapons are removed.

We must impose sanctions on Israel: Jewish MPUK Sir Gerald Kaufman

February 8, 2014 — It is totally unacceptable that the Israelis should behave in such a way, but they do not care. Go to Tel Aviv, as I did not long ago, and watch them sitting complacently outside their pavement cafés. They do not give a damn about their fellow human beings perhaps half an hour away . . .

The time when we could condemn and think that that was enough has long passed. The Israelis do not care about condemnation. They are self-righteous and complacent. We must now take action against them. We must impose sanctions. If the spineless Obama will not do it, we must do it—even unilaterally. We must press the European community for it to be done. These people cannot be persuaded. We cannot appeal to their better nature when they do not have one. . . He pointed out that the Irgun [infamously responsible for the bombing in 1946 of the King David Hotel, HQ of the British Mandate government, murdering 91, and the Deir Yassin massacre in 1948] were terrorists, and that "Israel was born out of Jewish terrorism".

There's an interesting footnote on the Wiki page which says: "In 2010, the Supreme Court of Israel rejected a petition by the newspaper Haaretz for the declassification of documents, reports and photographs concerning the Deir Yassin massacre. The court cited the possible damage to Israel's foreign relations . . ."

The US Congress is stuffed to the gunwales with Jews and Zionist stooges and hirelings. How is it that they are so taken in, or cowed, by the lie machine that few, if any, have the balls or integrity to see the Israeli regime, like Kaufman, for what it is. If they did—and acted accordingly—there would be far less grief around the world.

Sadly, there are big profits to be made from strife and grief. Full story: veteransnewsnow.com

Comment: Non-Semitic Israelis are still driving Semitic Arabs—Palestinians—off their land. Soon multitudes of non-Semitic anti-Semitic Israeli impostors will desert Israel and genuine Israelites descended from Abraham, Isaac and Israel will return.

15,000 Cops give Obama Gun Agenda Thumbs Down

February 12, 2014 — In the midst of the heated gun-control debate in the nation's capital, a leading Internet web site, exclusively for federal, state and local law enforcement, on Monday released the surprising results of a survey of police professionals from across the US. The survey provides revealing insights into the opinions of American law enforcement regarding gun control policies and the root causes of, and potential solutions, to gun crime in the US. The organization that released the survey—PoliceOne.com—conducted the study. PoliceOne.com officials stated that their research team received 15,000 responses from law enforcement professionals.

Ottawa actively participated in Haiti Coup d'Etat

February 8, 2014 — Canada was centrally involved in planning the Coup. A year in advance . . . Canadian soldiers, notably those serving in Joint Task Force 2, were assigned by Canadian government leaders to join local paramilitary mercenaries and US troops illegally deployed to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to conduct the Coup d'État.

The Coup was followed by several documented massacres and arbitrary arrests of pro-democracy activists. It dismantled Haiti's entire elected government structure, and US-appointed post-coup regimes backed financially, militarily and diplomatically by Canada . . . Haiti, a country with no known cases of cholera for the past 100 years, now has one of the worst cholera epidemics in the world. The cholera death toll has already reached 8500 and as of January 2014, more than 700,000 have gotten sick from the deadly bacterium. . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

US Postal Service announces Giant Ammo Purchase

February 5, 2014 — The US Postal Service joins the long list of non-military federal agencies purchasing large amounts of ammunition. On January 31, the USPS Supplies and Services Purchasing Office posted a notice on the Federal Business Opportunities website asking contractors to register with USPS as potential ammunition suppliers for a variety of cartridges.

"The United States Postal Service intends to solicit proposals for assorted small arms ammunition," the notice reads, which also mentioned a deadline of February 10. The Post Office published the notice just two days after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced his proposal to remove a federal gun ban that prevents lawful concealed carry holders from carrying handguns inside post offices across the country.

Ironically the Postal Service isn't the first non-law enforcement agency seeking firearms and ammunition. Since 2001, the US Dept. of Education has been building a massive arsenal through purchases orchestrated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The Education Dept. has spent over $80,000 so far on Glock pistols and over $17,000 on Remington shotguns. . . Full story: infowars.com

The Presence of God Unrecognized



Genesis 1:14, "God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, [signals, omens, and warnings] marking appointed times of cyclical assembly, delineated by days, months and years" (Psalm 19:107; 50:6; Romans 1:18-28; 10:18).

Psalm 104:19, "God appointed the Moon to mark appointed times of cyclical assembly: the Sun knows the exact time of its setting".

God's calendar is lunisolar. The Moon fixes moon-ths that order Israel's sacred assemblies before the Lord: the annual feasts of Passover and Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Day of Atonement and Tabernacles according to the precise time ordained in His Covenant. While the Sun determines the passage of years, sabbatical and jubilee years and dispensations and knows the precise time of its setting because the days and years are reckoned as commencing at sunset. Each Church dispensation and individual elect plays his part in the spiritual antitypes foreshadowed by Israel's feasts, for God chose Israel above all other nations to demonstrate His love, and against adversity honour the oath He had sworn to the patriarchs (Deuteronomy 7:6-11). Accordingly Israel is His template and timepiece and each dispensation and individual elect being foreknown before the world (Isaiah 42:9; 48:1-8; Amos 3:7; Revelation 13:8) must fulfill the "present Truth" for its designated decreed season in order to fulfill its position in the Body.

diagram solar eclipseThe Sun represents Christ the Word, while the moon represents His wife, the church, which is to obey Him in everything and reflect his glory in the earth during his absence (I Corinthians 11:3, 7). These diagrams looking down on the solar system from above are not to scale and prescient license (?) has displaced the equator 90 degrees.

A Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon or church apostatizes—overcome by man-made creeds and traditions of reasoning against the faith of Jesus Messiah—and stands before the S_O_N causing "darkness to cover Earth and gross darkness the people." The Prophet said, "Of course this is prophesying of the day we're now living"  (Shalom, p. 6:30, 54). "God's Light is come and the glory of His second or 'parousia' Coming has risen upon us" (Isaiah 60:1-2). A Solar Eclipse can occur only when the Moon is at just the right distance and angle in the sky to cover the Sun, this can only occur when the Sun, Moon and Earth are exactly aligned producing a Total Solar Eclipse. A Total Solar Eclipse occurs during daytime and only when there is a New Moon. The duration of a solar eclipse is short with totality lasting from a few seconds or minutes; it is seen by a minority of people along a narrow corridor and appearances differ according to ones location and distance from the central track of totality. The dark umbra shadow is the region of Total Solar Eclipse, surrounding that in the lighter shaded penumbra area is the region of Partial Eclipse.

God's first Bible The Witness of the Stars is "forever settled in heaven" (Psalm 119:89). The Pleiades represent "the seven stars in God's right hand who are the angels of the seven Church Ages"—Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Martin Luther, John Wesley and William Branham (Revelation 1:20). They formed the Pillar of Cloud or Shekinah witnessed to the world on February 28, 1963 "the sign of Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming" to us (Daniel 7:9; Matthew 24:3; 26:64; Acts 1:9-11; Revelation 1:7, 14; see Life Magazine below). A similar manifestation of the Pillar of Cloud will manifest to Israel over the Mount of Olives at the close of the Gentile dispensation (Zechariah 14:4; Matthew 24:30). On December 22, 1962 the Lord showed Brother Branham a vision in which he was in a mountain north of Tucson when a great blast shook the mountain and he was caught up into a constellation (or alignment) of angels in the form of a pyramid—God's second Bible. The vision was fulfilled on Sunset Mountain on March 8, 1963, and the Lord told him to return to his Church and He would reveal the mystery of the Seven Seals. Like the heavenly bodies, the seven stars had to be exactly aligned before Christ could open the Seals and reveal the parousia Coming of the Son of man with power and great glory.

diagram lunar eclipseA Total Lunar Eclipse occurs at night in the absence of the Sun and only at Full Moon when all seven Church Ages are fulfilled and Earth (or the worldliness of Laodicea – Revelation 3:17) blocks the Son-Light from the Moon or church. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are almost exactly aligned (II Timothy 4:3-4); Pleiades also. Earth's atmosphere disperses blue light more readily than red light so in the darkness of an eclipse when blue light is less profuse only the reddest light reaches the Moon. Some sunlight bent through Earth's atmosphere typically allows the Moon a coppery or brownish pink glow. The umbra on this diagram illustrates the seventh image of the Total Lunar Eclipse on December 30, 1963 preceding Pope Paul VI's visit to Israel to meet Ecumenical Patriarch Athanagorus I in Jerusalem from January 4-6, 1964. Christians are not of Jerusalem that is below but of "New Jerusalem that is above that is the mother of us all [and] will come down from God out of heaven as a Bride adorned for her Husband" (Galatians 4:26; Revelation 21:2). Laodicea ended as a move of God when Christ opened the Seven Seals on March 8, 1963. As Israel rejected His first or 'erchomai' Coming the churches that bear His Name have rejected His second or 'parousia' Coming and "crucified Him to themselves afresh and hold Him up to contempt . . . He stands at the door and knocks" calling the sleeping virgins to come out and sup with Him (Hebrews 6:6; Revelation 3:17-20; 18:4; The Feast of the Trumpets, p. 8:53).

Brother Branham said, The Pope is "doing this to win fellowship as on the day after he come into Jerusalem, he met the Greek Orthodox hierarchy. And what does that reflect? Fellowship, they're wanting Protestants and Catholicism joining together, which they are doing and will completely do. And God reflected this to us in the Moon of a total blackout. By His mercy and grace. . ."

eclipse of Moon over Jerusalem December 30, 1963"Did any of you see the paper where they took the pictures of the Moon? I have it here. If it ain't a perfect image, leaving out the seventh age . . . exactly the way I drawed by the Holy Spirit, the Church Ages. There's the six of them; the seventh is not finished yet. [Laodicea is finished as a move of God; but Darkness has not yet completely replaced Light – Ed]. The six conditions of the Moon, how in its brightness in the first Church Age, dark in the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth; just the way the Holy Spirit let me draw them on the board, then identified them with Hisself on the wall of the Tabernacle two years ago. [On the last day when the last Church Age was drawed out, this great Pillar of Fire (which is among us) came down among hundreds of people, and took itself back to the back wall of the Tabernacle, and there, before these hundreds, drawed those Church Ages, darkening and lightening, just exactly the way I had it drawed on the board: mysteriously]. The Moon reflects itself, and science again picks up the picture of the Church Ages, just as they picked up that Light yonder and put it in "Life" Magazine, of the opening of the Seals, of the revealing in the age of the seventh angel. In the days of his ministry, the seventh messenger, the mysteries of God, which all the mysteries has been along the ages, should be revealed, made manifest; it should be at that time. And He did it. His Words don't fail. Isn't that a mysterious thing? God drawing in the heavens the same thing that they hold, same God let me draw on the blackboard, and then by Himself. That's three times He's perfectly identified it, and just before the pope goes into Jerusalem."

"The Moon is the church, represents the church. And before the church, the shadow of the world crosses the Moon. And the shadow of worldlyism, the shadow of worldliness, worldly church, has swept across to blackout the entire Light of the Bible. The world got in the light of the reflection. Do you understand? The world crossed in the light of the Moon, and blinded out the Sun. And the reflection of the Moon that's supposed to be giving light to the earth, it was blacked out. And it come in and drawed the pictures just exactly like it did, by inspiration, before it happened. . ." (#13:5 Shalom, p. 12:67, 79-88, 90-91).

"God does the signs in the heavens before He declares it on earth. Did you notice, the moon went to a complete blackout? Jerusalem is the oldest church in the world . . ." (Countdown, p. 19:132).

Jesus warned the Church "When first you see the pennants of the Roman Legions on the Mount of Olives flee immediately to the mountains" of Jordan (Matthew 24:15-21). And He warned us: "When the Gentile dispensation is about to be fulfilled there will be signs in the sun, moon and stars, with distress among the nations on earth, bewilderment at the roaring of sea and waves; men's hearts failing them for fear in dread and apprehension concerning events that are about to take place in the world: for the powers of heaven will be shaken. Then they will see [the Presence of God unrecognized in] the [second or parousia] Coming of the Son of man [to Israel] with great power in the Cloud [of Shekinah glory over the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4)]. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and be encouraged; for [the first resurrection will have begun and] your redemption [translation] draws nigh" (Luke 21:24-28).

Life May 17, 1963Brother Branham said, "I foretold you a year and six months before it happened when He told me to go to Arizona, what would happen out there in the desert; and there's men setting right here tonight was standing right there and present when the seven Angels came down, and even the magazines—"Life" Magazine packed the article of it. It was right there in the observatory and everything, and now they don't even know what it is all about. And everything has been said, even to the destruction of California, coming up now, and all these other things, and how I told them how many days it would be. How it would be where this great earthquake would happen in Alaska and that would be the beginning of the sign of time (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:4), and what would take place (Revelation 18:21-23). And just word by word what it said. It's never failed one time" (The Invisible Union of the Bride and Christ, p. 42:3).

blood moonsNow that we see these things beginning to come to pass we are to "look up and be encouraged." Solar and lunar eclipses are common but Revelation 6:12-14 declares: "When the Sixth Seal manifests there will be a great earthquake and a 1,500 x 300 – 400 mile segment of earth's crust will sink Los Angeles and much of California to the bottom of the ocean; the sun will become black as sackcloth of hair and the moon become as blood [a Total Lunar Eclipse]; and the stars of heaven will fall to the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And heaven will depart like a scroll when it is rolled together; this earthquake [of unprecedented magnitude] will move every mountain and island from its place" (Revelation 16:18; 18:21; Isaiah 34:4; Joel 2:31).
The Sun's darkening and heaven's departure is not due to a Total Solar Eclipse but "a great earthquake of a magnitude unprecedented in human history" (Revelation 16:18). On Nisan 14 the full Moon will be on Earth's dark side for a Total Lunar Eclipse.
"Looking up" Astronomers calculate that four consecutive Total Lunar Eclipses or 'blood moons' (a tetrad) and two solar eclipses will occur in 2014 and 2015, each falling on one of Israel's compulsory feasts. This will be the eighth tetrad which has coincided with Israel's Feasts since Jesus Christ, and eight signifies eternity, resurrection and the first in a new series. The sixth tetrad occurred on the Feasts of Passover and Tabernacles in 1949 and 1950, just after the creation of the Jewish state of Israel in 1948 and the first Arab-Israeli War (May 15, 1948 to March 10, 1949). The seventh tetrad occurred on Passover and Tabernacles in 1967 and 1968 during the Six Day War (5-10 June, 1967) when Israel took East Jerusalem and additional land. The next tetrad will occur over Jerusalem on the Feasts of Passover April 15, 2014 and Tabernacles (Sukkot) October 9, 2014, and again Passover April 4, 2015, Trumpets September 13, 2015, and Tabernacles September 28, 2015. Significantly Passover is Israel's first compulsory annual feast and Tabernacles is its last.

A 'blood Moon' refers to the calendar full Moon that is the first full Moon after the 'Harvest' full Moon in the Northern Hemisphere. The Harvest full Moon is the Moon closest to the Vernal or Autumnal Equinox. The term blood Moon has only been in use from the 18th century and is not commonly used in the Southern Hemisphere. It does not indicate that the Moon will necessarily be red in colour although sometimes it can appear red due to atmospheric conditions at that time.

Israel's Civil New Year begins with the Feast of Trumpets on Tishri 1 (Leviticus 25:1-10). In the Feast of Weeks every seventh year was a Sabbatical year in which fields lay fallow, agricultural workers rested, and paid neither principal nor interest on debt. The Sabbatical year enters into force and also ends on Tishri 1 when people can legally begin to harvest once again (Deuteronomy 15). It seems Tishri 1/September 25, 2014 to Tishri 1/September 14, 2015 will be the forty-eighth year in the current cycle. Thus Tishri 1/September 14, 2015 to Tishri 1/October 3, 2016 will be the forty-ninth year and the year of release, and Tishri 1/October 3, 2016 to Tishri 1/September 21, 2017 will be the fiftieth Sabbatical year, followed by the Jubilee year from Tishri 10/September 30, 2017 to Tishri 10/September 19, 2018 during which all land is restored to its original owner, all debts are cancelled, and all slaves are freed to enable a new beginning to the nation, a type of new birth to the individual (Leviticus 25; 27:16-25; Numbers 36:4). The Six Day War occurred in the previous Jubilee year of Tishri 10/September 24, 1966 to Tishri 10/October 14, 1967. There was a tetrad on the Feasts of Passover and Tabernacles in 1967 and also in 1968. If we add fifty years to the Jubilee of 1967 we anticipate the next Jubilee from the Day of Atonement Tishri 10/September 30, 2017 to September 19, 2018.

The Israel nation is in debt to Jesus Messiah who paid sin's price in their behalf despite high priest Caiaphas prophesying: "It is expedient for us that one Man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. [And] all the people of Israel said, His Blood be upon us and upon our children" as it is to this day (Matthew 27:25; John 11:50). As at Sinai Israel rejected "the acceptable year of the Lord," or Pentecostal Jubilee (Isaiah 61:2; Luke 4:19) and Jerusalem must serve its master Satan until Daniel's Seventieth Week of years is fulfilled and the kingdom restored in New Jerusalem under Jesus Messiah and His Gentile Bride. The debt of the 144,000 will be remitted by grace through faith and martyrdom releasing them from bondage under the curse of "the Law of sin and death" (Isaiah 66:8; Daniel 9:24-27; Matthew 23:33-39; Romans 8:2; 11:25-26; Revelation 6:11; 14:12 – 15:4). On the Day of Atonement the Trumpet sounded throughout Israel to announce the Jubilee year (Leviticus 25:9).

Preaching repentance and new birth to the Israelites in the porch of the Temple after the miraculous healing of the man born lame from his mother's womb Peter consoled: "Now I know, brethren, that you acted in ignorance (Acts 23:34; Luke 13:27; 26:9) just as your rulers did: but God has thus fulfilled what He foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that His Christ should suffer." [But Israel's denominational leaders having usurped the Law and the Prophets by their "traditions made the words of God of no effect" (Matthew 15:9), and by rejecting God's prophet John the Baptist knew nothing of a suffering Messiah but expected a conquering general who would destroy Rome and restore the kingdom to Israel].

"Repent therefore and return, that your sins may be remitted in order that the [millennial] times of refreshing may come from the Presence of the Lord [after Israel is born in one day]; so that He may send your predestinated Messiah, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things which God spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. [This comprehends the rectification of all the disorders of the fall, then the restoration of the Kingdom to Israel (Acts 1:6)]. In fact Moses said, "The Lord God will raise up from among your brethren a Prophet like me [the Mediatorial Head of a new order in intimate communion with Him (Numbers 12:6-8; Hebrews 3:2-6)]; pay heed to Him in all things He will tell you; every soul that will not listen to that Prophet will be utterly destroyed [Heb. 'cherem'] from the people." And all the prophets who succeeded Moses, beginning with Samuel have likewise foretold these "last days" of the Messianic Age of redemption and completion. You are the sons of the prophets and of the Covenant that God gave to our fathers, when He said to Abraham, "In your Seed shall all the families in Adam's race be blessed." When God raised up His Servant, He sent Him to bless you in turning away every one of you from his evil ways" (Acts 3:17-26).

For Christians the resurrected first ripe sheaf Jesus Messiah was waved on the eighth day and "presented Himself to them alive during forty days discussing the kingdom of God. And as He met with them He charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father: not many days hence you will be baptized with the Holy Ghost"  (Acts 1:3-5). And on the fiftieth day the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead inaugurated and presented the Church as bread of the firstfruits waved before the Lord.

The end of the dispensation of the Law at Passover types the end of the dispensation of grace at Passover. Matthew 27:45, 50-53: "From noon until three o'clock there was darkness over all the earth . . . once more crying with a loud voice, Jesus dismissed His spirit. And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked and the rocks split; and [on the third day] also the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many." In Matthew 24:29 and Revelation 6:12-17 Jesus prophesied the antitype. Three days after earthquakes sink Los Angeles, split the Mount of Olives and demolish the Dome of the Rock the New Testament saints will begin to resurrect and the latter rain of the Holy Spirit will fall on all flesh, causing the wheat and the tares, the good and bad figs, the evil and the good, just and unjust to manifest the life of the seed they have believed (Daniel 12:10; Luke 8:11; 17:21; I Peter 1:23; II Peter 3:3; Revelation 22:11, 14). Throughout their unseen resurrection the Spirit will be waved in our corruptible flesh producing the 'third pull' to manifest that we are the Sons of God and to elevate our faith for translation grace (Romans 8:19; Ephesians 1:17-20). Ours will be a Pentecostal Jubilee; after a short and powerful demonstration of the Spirit this little hunted and persecuted group will go to be with Jesus.

Meanwhile Isaiah 13:15-16; 34:1-8; Zechariah 14:2, Revelation 12:7-17 and 16:19 describe the casting down of Satan and his host at the close of the dispensation. The Seven Seals hold the mystery of Christ and the redemption of Adam's race, causing spiritual warfare; the Trumpet judgments unleash natural war on Christ-rejecting Israel and its impersonators. The Seventh Trumpet will call the 'hot stage' of the present World War III which will lead to Armageddon after Rome abrogates her agreement with the self-styled Jews and the Black Nobility after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week. A mass exodus of Israeli self-styled Jews following the bloody invasion and utter defeat of Israel will enable genuine Israelites to return to the Land of their Covenant for redemption, for outside the land their Covenant is of no effect.

The tetrads and solar eclipses are announcing three warnings: "their sound goes into all the earth, and their words will go to the ends of the world . . . before the great and dreadful Day of the Lord" (Romans 10:18; Psalm 19; Joel 2:30-31; Acts 2:19-20). Malachi 4:4, "Remember the Law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel." Wherever Israelites might live Total Lunar Eclipses will bring Passover, Israel's first compulsory annual feast to remembrance on April 15, 2014, and the Feast of Tabernacles, its last compulsory annual feast on October 9, 2014, and an Annular Solar Eclipse will speak to all nations on April 29, 2014. (Click these dates to see where these phenomena will be visible). Is God stirring the hearts of Israelites and pricking the scruples of foolish virgin? Grace will cease with Daniel's Seventieth Week—"the time of Jacob's trouble; but 144,000 elect Israelites will be saved out of it" (Jeremiah 30:7).

As the Prophet once said, "I PREDICT (I do not prophesy)" these heavenly signs express warnings mandated by Psalm 19:

tetradIs the blood Moon of April 15, 2014 warning the end of grace on the blood Moon of Nisan 14/April 4, 2015? When Pope Francis I visits Israel on May 24-26, 2014 his visit (like that of Pope Paul VI in 1964) will be preceded by a Total Lunar Eclipse on April 15, one of a tetrad that according to Brother Branham reflects the condition of the world church system: "the shadow of worldlyism, the shadow of worldliness, worldly church, has swept across to blackout the entire Light of the Bible." He noted that the last plague to hit the Church would be spiritual death (Speak To This Rock, #60-0612) and now we see this reflected in the heavens.

Is the worldwide Annular Solar Eclipse of April 29, 2014 warning Adam's race "the darkness shall cover the earth"?

Should the blood Moon of Tishri 15/October 9, 2014 tell Israelites, "Next year Jerusalem—really"? Owing to a mass exodus of Israelis after the brief 'hot stage' of World War III in the Feast of Weeks 2015, Israelites need not "fear the Jews." Now unwelcome in Islam they will return to the Land of their Covenant.

Tishri 1/September 14, 2015 will commence the Sabbatical year in which land is returned to the original owners—returning Semitic Israelites and Semitic Arabs and the "two state" final solution of UN Resolution 181 will be enforced as prophesied in Zechariah 14:2 and Revelation 16:19. This has already been agreed as per the following reports:

In February 15, 2000 Pope John Paul II [who was born on a Solar Eclipse] met with Yasser Arafat in Rome to sign an accord to normalize relations between Roman Catholic churches in Jerusalem and the Palestinian Authority. Palestinian Legislative Council Speaker Ahmed Qurei told The Jerusalem Post that the agreement is "recognition by the Catholic Church of the Palestinian claims to the eastern half of Jerusalem." According to Arafat's spokesperson, Nabil Abu Rudaineh, "Arafat had been lobbying for the idea of sharing undivided Jerusalem, and for creating a Vatican-style sovereignty in the Old City." The agreement calls for Jerusalem to be "an international city based on international resolutions and an international guarantee." The pact was signed despite the Vatican having signed an agreement with Israel six years earlier on December 30, 1993 which gave legal jurisdiction under Israeli law over the Church's own institutions and assets in the Holy Land.

On September 26, 2013 Vatican Radio announced a joint statement on the latest talks between Holy See and the State of Palestine: "On September 26, 2013 the Bilateral Commission of the Holy See and the 'State of Palestine,' which is working on a Global Agreement following on the Basic Agreement, which was signed on February 15 2000, held a Plenary Session in the Vatican to acknowledge the work done at an informal level by the joint technical group following the last official meeting held in Ramallah at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State of Palestine on January 30, 2013, and to plan future progress, with the aim of accelerating the conclusion of the Agreement".

Brother Branham said, "They will trod down," said Jesus in Matthew 24 (the abomination maketh desolation); "they'll trod down the walls of Jerusalem until the Gentile dispensation be finished." When that's finished, then the Jews [he means Israelites] will return back into Jerusalem to re-establish the temple and temple worship" (Gabriel's Instructions to Daniel, p. 34:145).

"A confederation of church will consolidate them together and bring the Jews into this confederation, and bring them back to their own temple worship again in the THUS SAITH THE LORD out of the Bible, and they will have their own church."

". . . And then when they are brought into this confederation, Rome will break it in the middle of the seventieth year—three and one half years he'll break that covenant with them, and cause the abomination that maketh desolation to spread to the consummation. Then he'll take both Protestant and Jew and persecute them, and that time these two prophets will stand up and curse the earth that she'll not rain in the days of their prophecy; they'll call fire out of heavens and everything else . . ." (The Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel's Visit, p. 81:140-141).

Will the Total Solar Eclipse of Adar 29/Nisan 1/March 20, 2015, the beginning of Israel's religious New Year (Exodus 12:1-2) be the last warning before the end of the Gentile dispensation—perhaps on Nisan 14/April 4, 2015?

tetradWill the blood Moon of Nisan 14/April 4, 2015 mark the end of the Gentile dispensation with the manifestation of the Sixth Seal and the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet? Jesus prophesied, "Immediately after the great tribulation [upon Christians from the sighting of Roman troops on the Mount of Olives to the end of grace (Matthew 24:15-29; Revelation 1:9; 7:14)] the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give her light, the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken [as Satan is cast down to earth with his host]: then the sign of the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man shall appear over the Mount of Olives as the Pillar of Cloud unrecognized by Israel (Zechariah 14:4): and all the tribes of the earth will mourn when they recognize the Son of man Coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [realizing the 'rapture' is past]. And He will send His angels [(Zechariah 4; Revelation 11) in the spirit and power of Moses and Elijah] with a great sound of the [Seventh] Trumpet and they will gather together His [144,000] elect [Israelites] from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other".

The manifestation of the Sixth Seal coincident with the sounding of Israel's Seventh Trumpet will cause a convulsion of nature; earthquakes will "shake not only earth but also heaven" (Isaiah 10:6-14; 24:16-23; Jeremiah 4:23-28; Joel 2:30; Haggai 2:6; Hebrews 12:26) accompanied by tidal waves and volcanic eruptions (Luke 21:25). The first resurrection will commence after three days.
I expect the earthquakes that sink Los Angeles and cause the Mount of Olives on the other side of earth to cleave, ignite the Pacific Ring of Fire and shake earth from its axis will be so severe it will cause quakes and volcanic eruptions on the Moon and darken the Sun in the antitype of Matthew 27:51-53 unforeseen by astronomers. Brother Branham indicated this blood Moon may be caused by extraordinary factors. "Earthquakes in divers places; the Moon is spurting out red blood, or red volcanic all over it, covering it," as Jesus said watch for that sign in the last days; "sea a roaring, men's hearts failing for fear, and perplexed of time, distress between the nations" (Presence of God Unrecognized, p. 16:112).

Then there will be a Partial Eclipse of the Sun on Tishri 1/September 14, 2015, which is the Feast of Trumpets and the first day in Israel's Civil New Year. Israel's prophets will minister the revelation of the Seven Trumpet mysteries throughout the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week.

According to NASA: the total blood Moon on September 28, 2015 will be at perigee meaning it will be a super moon and seen in Jerusalem during the feast of Tabernacles when people will be dwelling outside in booths "looking up because their redemption draws nigh." September 25 to September 14, 2015 will be a Sabbatical year with release of debtors. Israel has been in debt to the Lord "life for Life" for the price He paid on Calvary for their redemption. When "all the people of Israel said, His Blood be upon us and upon our children" the nation rejected its Jubilee or "acceptable year of the Lord" (Isaiah 61:2; Luke 4:19) and for the price of a gored slave Israel entered a pact with Satan and must serve him as master until the Jubilee (Matthew 23:33-39; 27:25). When the Seventh Trumpet sounds the close of the Gentile dispensation "the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people, which shall be left, from Assyria, Upper and Lower Egypt, Ethiopia, Persia, Iraq, Syria, and from the coastlands of the sea. And He shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth" (Isaiah 11:11-16). Do you see how the Edomite Judaeo-Roman church and Edomite-Jewish controlled USA, that "have the dominion" are fulfilling Esau's oath to "slay my brother Jacob" (Genesis 27:39-41)?

Brother Branham said that "ensign for the nations" was when the First Committee of the United Nations, on which each of the 55 members is represented, held twelve meetings, from May 6 to May 13, 1947, using the facilities for simultaneous translation available at Lake Success on May 6 to determine the make-up of the commission called the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) that would determine the future of Palestine (UN docs. A/C.I/P.V.46-57 (May 6-13, 1947). And "the oldest flag in the world" the [occult] flag [of the House of Rothschild] was raised over Jerusalem [perhaps metaphorically] on May 6, 1947 as an ensign, signal or rallying point to the diaspora.

The Lord told Isaiah, "Go, and tell Israel, You hear but do not understand; and see but do not perceive. Render the hearts of this people insensitive, their ears dull and their eyes dim; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and repent and are healed. Then I said, Lord, how long (Daniel 12:6; Revelation 6:11)? And He answered, "Until the cities ARE MADE RUINS without inhabitants, the houses without people and the land utterly desolate, and the Lord sends men far away, and the forsaken places of the land will be many. And though a tenth remains in it, it shall again be consumed, but as a terebinth or oak tree whose stump remains when it is felled, so the holy seed [or 144,000 elect] is its stump" (Isaiah 6:8-13).

The "present Truth" ministered by Israel's two prophets will open the blind eyes and deaf ears, and soften the hard hearts of an election of 144,000 elect Israelites who return to the Land of the Covenant after Laodicean Israel is raped and conquered in the brief 'hot stage' of World War III and a great number of non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews have returned to their Gentile host nations (Ezekiel 36:21 – 37:28). This release from Satan's tyranny will culminate in the martyrdom of captive Israel. Brother Branham's ministry proclaimed "the day of vengeance of our God" and called Christ's Bride out from the world church system into "the unity of the faith" for "the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation" (Revelation 18:4; Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 15:51-56). Israel's two prophets will minister "comfort to all that mourn [the rejection of Messiah by their forefathers]; to grant [atonement] to them that mourn in Zion (Joel 2:32; Zechariah 12:10-14), a beautiful turban instead of ashes and the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint heart; that they might be called what they really are, mighty oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified" (Isaiah 61:2b-3). nl822.htm

The Old Testament foreshadows the New

Bible Believers' Newsletter 821

"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; it's great to have your fellowship.

Let us turn our eyes to Isaiah 13, his vision of God's justice and the consummation of the whole world in the soon-coming Day of the Lord in which he saw natural Babylon the Great as a type of "mystery Babylon and Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth," and God's judgment of natural Babylon as a type of the destruction of the world system and Lucifer's universal church system. Through shadows and types we see our place in prophecy, our position in the Body, our proximity to the end of the Gentile dispensation and to Israel's glorious redemption as a nation in one day.

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

Media Disinformation: what's really going on in Ukraine?

Papal Keys
January 27, 2014 — You'd be forgiven for knowing very little about the unrest in Ukraine—the violence, the rioting on the streets, the armed protesters storming government buildings amidst plumes of thick black smoke rising from makeshift barricades . . . Viktor Yanukovych's government forces are certainly guilty of using excessive force against the rioters, and accusations of torture appear to be well-founded and should not be excused. But condemnation is certainly clouded when you consider the level of violence from the rioters. By the same token, when mobile phone users near the scene of the riots received text messages from the state reading, "Dear subscriber, you are registered as a participant in a mass riot" it brought to home just how omnipresent—and ominous—surveillance technology has become.

The problem with the "popular protests against the government and for integration into the EU" narrative is that it omits crucial information regarding the role of the West is fomenting and orchestrating demonstrations such as these; a role which illuminates broader geopolitical objectives in the region and the extent to which intelligence agencies and their offshoot organizations meddle in the affairs of sovereign nations. Understanding the nature of soft power—the use of coercion and bribery—and the subversion and infiltration of grassroots political movements by NGOs and other organizations backed either directly or indirectly by the US government, helps us to more broadly understand why the unrest in Ukraine is reaching such a fever pitch.

The seemingly spontaneous 2004 Ukrainian "Orange Revolution," sparked by alleged electoral fraud and allegations of voter intimidation, was led largely by a number of grassroots movements tied to political activists and student groups. Many of the groups involved, however, were funded and trained by organizations intimately linked to the US government. The foreign donors of these groups included the US State Department, USAID, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, the Open Society Institute and the National Endowment for Democracy.

The candidate who emerged victorious in the wake of these widespread orchestrated protests, Viktor Yushchenko, was not only endorsed by the same institutions which wielded their influence over the protest movements themselves, he was also supported by the International Monetary Fund. A central banker by profession, Yushchenko was a firm advocate of implementing IMF monetary reforms and, equally crucially, an advocate of NATO membership. Before entering into Ukrainian politics he had worked at the US State Department,the Reagan White House, the US Treasury Department, and the Joint Economic Committee of Congress. In short, it's safe to say that he was a product of Washington, an image only exacerbated by his hostility towards Russia. . .

As the violence on the streets of Kiev continues, already spreading away from the capital, the Russian State Duma recently passed a resolution slamming foreign politicians and other players for interfering in Ukrainian internal affairs in an attempt to escalate the conflict. It's a marked contrast to the rhetoric emerging from Washington and the EU, both of whom have expressed the possibility of intervening, with the US adopting a stance which hints at another planned "regime change" on Russia's doorstep.

Perhaps the most damning indictment of the West's stance over Ukraine and their support for what they refer to as a "pro-democracy protest movement" is the profoundly anti-democratic leanings of the violent protestors at the vanguard of the assault on the Ukrainian authorities. Anyone familiar with the crisis in Syria and the attempts to topple President Assad will be all too familiar with the US's willingness to get into bed with extremists of the worst possible nature in order to achieve their objectives.

In Ukraine today it appears that very little has changed. Just as the Western-backed Syrian rebels with intimate ties to al-Qaeda were presented in our media as "pro-democracy" organizations, so too are many of those protesting in Ukraine drawn from far-right and fascistic groups such as the opposition Svoboda party, whom John McCain was more than happy to appear on stage with in December 2013 and offer his—and by extension America's—support. . .

With the geopolitical stakes as high as they are, not least with the potential for a broader NATO influence in the region, it would be wise to view the situation in Ukraine through the wider prism of the global balance of power and all that this entails . . . and by now it should be very clear how little this has to do with vague, idealistic notions of "democracy", and how much it has to do with regional—and ultimately global—hegemony.

Comment: This would appear to support our comment last week on the omen of the crow and the seagull attacking the doves of peace released from the Vatican by Pope Francis. They are not free or at peace. "The United States exercises Rome's full authority in its presence [and will soon] force earth and its inhabitants to worship the first beast whose mortal wound was healed" (Revelation 13:12).

The Old Testament foreshadows the New



What we read in the Old Testament necessarily foreshadows "things that are to be" in the New Testament and because lost spirits do not die and cannot change their nature after the death of the body they manifest the same works in this day as foretold by our New Testament prophets.

Our study builds upon the revelation of Isaiah 13 given in approximately 713BC one hundred and twenty-six years before Judah's Babylonian Captivity in 587BC. At that time Judah's most feared enemy was Assyria, however the Lord prophesied against Babylon which was to become the head of four successive Gentile world powers He would raise to chastise Judah and Jerusalem from Nabopolassar's conquest in 606BC to the consummation of life (Daniel 9:27). And Isaiah, in that same year saw the Lord's judgment on Assyria under the walls of Jerusalem, confirming that the world power culminates not in Assyria, but in Babylon, and that Babylon is to execute the judgment of God on Jerusalem (II Chronicles 32:10-23).

Isaiah looked forward to the Day of the Lord and foresaw the judgment of Babylon by the Medes and Persians in 538BC. To Isaiah the future disintegration of Babylon, not yet a world power, and the liberation of the Judeans will be the first step in the judgment of the world therefore he unfolds the Day of the Lord and the Judgment before our very eyes around 2,730 years ahead of the fact.

2,726 years since Isaiah received his revelation Israel mourns in lowly exile still; when shall I see the joys of Jerusalem, my happy home? We are now well into "the third day" and the time of "Jacob's trouble," with the Sampson Option of Gog and Magog overhanging the horizon of the non-elect (Hosea 6:2; Jeremiah 30:7; Ezekiel 38 – 39). Be thankful and praise the Lord that you are living in the Golden Age of this present holy convocation pending our Pentecostal Jubilee and home-going; rest in the faith and put on character.

Brother Branham said, you mustn't question anything to God. "For the footsteps of the righteous is ordered of the Lord." And every trial is put upon you to prove you. And the Bible said they're more precious to you than gold. So if God let a few "light afflictions" happen to you, remember, it's for the correction of you. "Every son that cometh to God must first be chastened of God and tried," child-trained. There's no exceptions, "Every son that cometh . . ." And these afflictions are done or brought about to see what attitude you'll take. See, it's God on this proving ground. That's all earth is, is a proving ground, and where He's trying to prove you".

"Now, haven't you had a lot of temptations? Don't complain about them; rejoice. God's with you. He's trying to prove your faith. Look at Job in the Old Testament when He said, "Have you considered My servant Job? A just man, a perfect man, there is none like him on the earth" (Hebrews, 131:68).

Isaiah is commanded to raise the standard of war on a bare treeless mountain so that it can be seen from far away and beckon with the hand summonsing God's warriors, the Medes, to execute His wrath against Babylon (Isaiah 13:17). Isaiah does not foretell here the Babylon captivity but presupposes the event and the still more future overthrow of the city of Israel's oppressors. It was now one hundred seventy-four years before the defeat of Babylon. The heathen Medes and haughty Persians rejoicing in their own highness were unconsciously glorifying His majesty. The Babylonians are vividly depicted as hearing some unwonted sound like the din of a host upon metaphorical mountains, and upon trying to discern the sounds can only perceive a tumultuous noise of kingdoms from the Far East. So Isaiah is NOT seeing the Medes, Persians, and Armenians that composed Cyrus' army because at that time there were Israelites exiled in Media so it could hardly be designated as a far country "from the end of heaven." These are the kings of the East" (Revelation 16:12), "the weapons of God's indignation" He will deploy to "destroy the whole earth" in the Day of the Lord.

Isaiah 13:6-13 are the verses of most interest to us: "Wail, for the Day of the Lord is at hand [or near. In Matthew 24:32-34 Jesus said, when you see the Laodicean Israel State established you will know the Sixth Seal (Matthew 24:29-32) and the end of the world (Matthew 24:3c) is near, even at the doors—or "needle-eyes"—the open small side gates as opposed to the closed main gate into a city (Matthew 19:24)]; as a destruction from the Almighty [not mere man] it will come! Therefore all hands will hang limp and helpless [when men recognize that the destruction comes from God Almighty and they abandon all opposition as useless] and through fear every man's heart will become as weak as water: pangs and agonies will seize them; they will be in anguish as a woman in travail: they will look aghast at one another; their faces aflame [with terror]".

As Babylon, the Old Testament type was taken by surprise on the night of Belshazzar's impious feast (Jeremiah 50:43; Daniel 5:30), when Cyrus actually found the gates leading out to the river unclosed as Isaiah 45:1 prophesied 176 years beforehand, in the antitype the world will be overcome by surprise, men's hearts failing for fear (Matthew 24:12, 30; Luke 21:25-26). I Thessalonians 5:1-3, "As to times and seasons, brethren, you need no writing from me. For you yourselves are aware that the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. When they say, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come upon them like the birth pangs of a woman in travail, and there will be no escape".

Brother Branham said, "Isaiah the prophet seen this Sixth Seal open and spoke of it . . . Isaiah starts out with creation; in the middle of the Book he brings John, and at the end he brings the millennium. And there's sixty-six books in the Bible, and sixty-six chapters in Isaiah. It's a complete encyclopedia itself . . . 13th chapter . . ."

"Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it." (The land, that's all of it, brethren. See? Notice).

"For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her lights to shine."

"And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wickedness of their iniquity; and I will cause the
(I don't . . . I don't how it's spelled.) [Congregation says, "arrogancy" – Ed.] (I can't say it. See?) of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness the terrible".

"See there, just exactly, Isaiah saw the same thing that Jesus spoke of, that the Seventh Seal reveals, when He's cleansing the land with tribulations. That's the tribulation period, this Sixth Seal. Yes, he was a prophet, and the Word of God was made known to him. That's twenty-seven hundred years ago. . . The whole world as Isaiah here . . . all creation . . ."

"Look at it. Not only here, but the world over, the thing is polluted, and the world, the nature. . . God, have mercy. The whole world in its birth pains, the world is trying; she's travailing, Isaiah said. What's the matter? She's trying to bring forth a new world for the millennium where all the . . . trying to birth a new world for a new people that won't sin and pollute her. That's right. She's in travail."

"That's the reason we are in travail. Christ, to bring forth the Bride. . . Everything is travailing and groaning. [Romans 8:18-23]. See, there's something fixing to happen. And this sixth plague lets her go."

"Brother, the earthquake burst open, and the stars shake; volcanics will come forth, and the earth will renew itself. New lava will break forth from the center of the earth, and she'll crumble all around and around and around when she spins out in yonder."

"And I tell you, one morning when Jesus and His Bride comes back to the earth, there'll be a paradise of God there that. . . Yes, Sixth Seal's going to do something. Yes, sir. Truly the whole world is groaning and paining for the millennium age. . . Look what's falling apart in the world. . . The frame of this world: the iron and the brass and the materials of this earth has been pulled out of it, its framework, for war and industry until it's just about ready. . . Well, we never had an earthquake till the other day over here in this part of the country . . . She's getting so thin. They've pulled everything out of it. See?"

"Notice, the last verse of the Sixth Seal opened. Those who had laughed at the preaching of the Word, of the vindicated Word of the living God. . . When them prophets that stood there and performed miracles, closed the sun, and everything else, and all down through the age. . . See? They cried for the rocks and the mountains to hide them (See?), to hide them from the Word that they'd laughed at, 'cause they seen Him coming. "Hide us from the wrath of the Lamb." He is the Word. See? (Revelation 6:15-17) . . . They'd tried to repent, but the Lamb had come to claim His own. See? And they cried to the rocks and the mountains, prayed, but their prayers were too late" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 436:5 – 441:4).

"Men's hearts are failing for fear. Everywhere, everybody, they are alarming on the radio, [propagandists like Alan Jones, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh] all the time, "Be ready for a air raid. Take this in; take that in; go down in the basement." How you going to hide from that? Can't hide from that. That thing will go a hundred and fifty feet in the ground for a hundred and fifty miles square. Why, the concussion of it would. . . (Revelation of Jesus Christ, p. 633:95).

The language of Isaiah 13:9-13 can only primarily and partially apply to Babylon; fully and exhaustively the judgments hereafter will come on the whole earth. "Behold, the Day of the Lord comes, [it is not only "near," it is "here"], cruel—unsparingly just without mercy—with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the whole earth a desolation and to destroy the sinners out of it."

Immediately after the tribulation of the dispensation of grace that commenced with the inauguration of the Church on the Day of Pentecost and ceased at the manifestation of the Sixth Seal and Seventh Trumpet (Matthew 24:29), "The stars of heaven and their constellations shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in its rising, and the moon shall not shed its light" (Joel 2:10; 31; Acts 2:20; Revelation 6:12; 8:1-5; 16:17-19). As at the first crucifixion which is the type for the second crucifixion, followed after three days by the resurrection of the Church Age saints (Matthew 27:51).

Aside from the natural aspect this prophecy has a spiritual bearing as the Church shines in the reflected Light of Christ. He is the SUN. The Church is the MOON. The STARS—fallen stars—are the ministers or messengers (Isaiah 14:12; while the CONSTELLATIONS are the denominations that align with their doctrines as was the case with Israel under Antiochus Epiphanes IV (Daniel 8:9-10) at the first crucifixion (Jude 1:6; Revelation 12:4).

The darkening of the SUN signifies the end of God's mercy, Christ having turned from us Gentiles to the remnant of elect Israelites, and the MOON turning to blood signifies the church having apostatized no longer reflects Christ's glory but has resumed Rome's long-term edict of "death to heretics" (Revelation 6:2-11; 13:1-18; 14:12 – 15:4; 17:6-15; 18:24).

The Prophet said, "Just as the kingdom of the Gentiles was brought in with King Nebuchadnezzar—vindicated the Gentile race by a prophet [Daniel] who could interpret unknown tongues, visions, dreams . . . it goes out the same way again [with the prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 William Branham] . . . Notice, in this last days, Lucifer's doing the same thing. Can you see it? The Devil doing the same thing, building up a hybrid church—a hybrid, by hybrid members, hybrid by knowledge instead of the Word, by intellectual men instead of borned again men, building an intellectual kingdom that'll outshine Christ's little bitty flock. See? What is it that did that? Fallen angels. The Bible said it was fallen angels who listened to Lucifer instead of Christ, who they once belonged to? Is that right? . . ."

"Now, listen close. Fallen angels, what kind of angels? Luther, Wesley, Catholic, Pentecostal who kept not their first estate like the angels did and has fell into organizations like Lucifer's main hold at Nicaea. . . And what have they done? Organized a great ecumenical association of ministers to make an image unto the beast, as the Bible said, and building a Christian economy that'll close the doors of this church and others like it. See Lucifer at his work? I'm trying to bring you the threefold revelation or mystery of God. What did they do? Sold out to reasonings of wisdom and education like Eve did, fallen angels did."

"Wesley was a man of God, but what followed him? Fallen angels got into it. What was the angels first? Created beings of God that fell for Lucifer's wisdom . . . And you see what they become? Fallen angels. And organizations from man of God who's went forth to establish truths in the earth, before that truth could go along and proclamate and get on to the real revelation of Christ, fallen angels come in and took it over and made denominations out of it. That's the reason the revelation of the Seven Seal mystery had to be unfolded. Now, you see it? What they left off . . . If Luther would've went on, it'd been here. If Wesley would've went on, if Pentecost would've went on, what would they'd done?"

"Now, there's only one thing can happen. There has to be a Message at the end time when there is nothing else can follow it. And now the ecumenical world has set up such a regime that there can be no denomination or no not nothing else follow it. You're either in it or you're not in it. The fruit is in the top of the tree, and the Light is shining on that predestinated fruit, and she's ripening into Christ-like fruit, bringing forth the same mellowness and sweetness and the same Spirit that He had in Him. Hope you see it . . . they sold out to reasonings, sold out to reasonings of denomination. "If I can just belong to this. The mayor goes to this church." See? "If I can be a Methodist or a Presbyterian . . ." Just look where they've gone. I've just explained them limbs are pruned off; they're dead. They're not connected with Christ anymore [or] they'd be bringing the same life. They're not connected with it" (Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed, p. 71:542-557).

After Jesus had revealed the Six Seals in Matthew 24:4-31 (as in Revelation 6:1-17) He began speaking in parables (Matthew 24:32) because the unwritten Seventh Seal must be personally revealed to each member of His end-time Bride by "the Voice of the Archangel" whispering His secrets to the heart of His Wife. Brother Branham said, "The very day when this messenger . . . begins to declare his Message. See? The First Pull, healing [with the sign in his hand]; Second Pull, prophesying [Hebrews 4:12]; Third Pull, "the 'third pull' was the opening of the Word [or revelation of the Seven Seals], the mysteries revealed" (Anointed Ones at the End-time, p. 57:262; I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 10:1-7). That is the unwritten Seventh Seal, which is the revelation of the previous six written Seals.

Speaking of the Seventh Seal he said, "And Jesus comes from heaven with ten thousands times ten thousands of His saints, and the Bible said that the heavens was empty for the space of a half hour. Where is this big fellow, God then? Uh-huh. See, He's in Christ. Sure" (Sardisean Church Age, p. 348: 96; Daniel 7:10; I Thessalonians 4:14; Jude 14; Revelation 5:11; 8:1). "All heaven is consisted of the Word" (Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 325:2; Luke 17:21).

"Melchisedec was the Word. A theophany is something that you could not see. It could be right here now, yet you cannot see it. It's just like, well like television, that's in another dimension. . . People are moving right through this room now singing; there's colors also . . . Your whole being is only subject to five senses and you are only subject to what the sight has been limited to see. But there is another dimension that can be seen by a transformation by television."

"Now, television does not manufacture a picture. A television only channels it into a circuit, and then the television screen picks it up. But the picture's there to begin with. Television was here when Adam was here. Television was here when Elijah set on Mount Carmel. Television was here when Jesus of Nazareth walked the shores of Galilee. But you're just now discovering it. They wouldn't have believed it back there. You'd have been crazy to have said something like it. But now it's become a reality."

"And so is it that Christ is here. The Angels of God are here. And someday in the great millennium to come it'll be just more real than television or anything else, because they are here" (Who is this Melchisedec, p. 12:58-59).

Speaking of revelation and typing the natural with the spiritual he said, "Did you know there's ten thousands of voices in this room right now, literally voices of people that's coming through the electronic waves of radio? Why don't you hear them? They're voices. Is that right? They're waving right through here now. There's people, forms, and bodies moving right through this room now. Is that right? Well, why don't you see them? They're here, actual voices, like my voice. Well, why don't you hear it? See, it's got to strike something first to reveal it. See?"

"Now, do you understand? So just don't interpret nothing. If God wants you to know anything, He will send it to you (See?); so just be real, real solid now. Hold still. Something has happened. . . If you can understand it, this is that third pull. . . You should've caught that the other day . . . remember, there'll be no impersonation like there was of the other two. See? So that's as far as you should know [because it must be a personal revelation by Jesus Christ "the Voice of the Archangel.]" Now just remember that you see now there's something taking place in this room, and there's something here, there's . . . There's actual in this room, Angels, Voice of God (See?), but how do you. . . If you can't hear the natural voice without something to send it out, [ears] how are you going to hear the spiritual voice [without the Holy Spirit]? (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 460:5-8)."

"This messenger on the earth [Brother Branham] was so inclined with God until when he spoke it on the earth God echoed the same thing out of heaven. [And YOUR 'third pull' will be THUS SAITH THE LORD so that what you speak He will do because you are expressing His mind in you]. What is that fourth verse translation [of Revelation 18:2-3]? What does it mean? God's Voice speaking to His predestinated people, saying, "Come out of her," just exactly what the voice was. He's got people all out in there, all out through Babylon. Come out of her, that you be not partakers of her sins (Yes, sir.), out of that dogma and creeds to the Word made Spirit and Life. Amen" (Why I Am against Organized Religion, p. 39:219).

Matthew 24:3, "As Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately asking:

  1. When will the Temple be thrown down?
  2. What will be the sign of Your [second or 'parousia'] Coming?
  3. And what will be the sign of the end of the world?
The manifestation of the Sixth Seal will be "the end of the world [or dispensations of grace]." And when Christ opened the Seven Seals on March 8, 1963 He swore that redemption was over, when the last member predestinated to the PART-Word Body was born-again in Laodicea; therefore "there should no further delay" because mediation for ignorance of the fullness of the Word is complete as He will deliver "that which is perfect [or complete, the fullness of the Word]" in the "shout" or "midnight cry" of the Prophet's Message (Revelation 10:1-7; I Corinthians 13:10; Matthew 25:6; I Thessalonians 4:16). As His end-time Bride and the 144,000 elect Israelites are predestinated to receive the fullness of the Word they were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary and do not require a Mediator.

The Prophet said, "The earth is giving birth to a new one. It's over, and here we are right here at the door. Oh, I tremble. And what must I do, Lord? What else can I do? See? And then, just think of it, seeing that place [Matthew 24:3c] and those precious people."

"I stood there looking at myself, and I thought, "Oh, God, They can't miss this. I ought to pushed them; I ought to just reached down in the audience and got them and pushed them." You can't do that. "And no man can come except My Father draws him." But here's one consolation we have: "All the Father has given Me will come." But the rest of them depending on those organizations . . . "He deceived all that dwelt upon the earth whose names were not written in that Lamb's Book of Life, slain from the foundation of the world" (Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 449:6-7; II Thessalonians 2:9-12; Revelation 13:8).

Isaiah 13:11-13, "I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their guilt [according to righteousness]; and I will end the arrogancy of the proud and lay low the haughtiness of the ruthless." The sins of Babylon—"arrogancy" (Isaiah 13:11; 14:11), cruelty, false worship (Jeremiah 50:38), persecution of the Covenant people (Isaiah 47:6)—are peculiarly characteristic of our apostate once Christian world since the Laodicean Church Age ended in apostasy (Daniel 11:32-37; Matthew 24:37; Luke 17:28-30; II Timothy 3 – 4; Revelation 3:17-20; 17:3, 6; 18:4, 6, 7, 9-14, 24).

"In consequence of this visitation mortal man shall become as rare in the earth than pure refined gold; and Adam's race rarer than the pure gold of Ophir because the Lord shall shake the heavens, and the earth will remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of His fierce anger." Isaiah is speaking of the consummation of life and earth's purging by fire preparatory to the thousand-year honeymoon of Christ and His Bride (Daniel 9:27; Isaiah 24:18-23; 34:4; Haggai 2:6-7; Hebrews 12:26). The Prophet said, "The atoms of the earth will catch fire soon. There will be a relay, and there'll be not even be dust left of the people" (Conference with God, #61-0410).

Brother Branham said, "The earth once stood up like this, right, around the sun, equal heat all the way up and down. Up in British ice fields, you can blast down there five hundred feet and find palms. It come suddenly, froze them like refrigeration now. Like your dehydrating, and so forth, and your freeze and deep freezes that keep strawberries and things for years and years and years to come. That's the same way it was in that time. Quickly there come an antediluvian destruction and flooded the whole earth over . . . atomic powers rocked it out of its orbits, and it froze over and there she laid. See? Dig down and can find them, up around the arctic zones and things, palm trees and so forth. Showed that it was once inhabited, beautifully set up. And now it's shook back."

"The earth was without form, and void, and water was upon the deep. The Spirit of God moved upon the waters, said: Let there be light." God separated then the land and the water, which made the earth. But the whole earth was covered over . . . The atmospheres is filled with hydrogen, and oxygen, and so forth. Then He just lifted [the water] up off the earth and separated it. There was no sea on the earth then. God watered the earth, didn't even come rains. He watered it through springs and things, irrigation. . ."

"When man blowed it out of its orbit, out to one side, what happened? It throwed it back in the heat down here, and the cold up there. And hot and cold, what accumulates? Feel it here on them windows right now, hot in here and cold outside. See the sweat? And rain is nothing but sweat, perspiration. And water is ashes. And so then when it . . . Then in this great time, it's leaning back like this now, and He made us a promise, "No more water, but fire this time" [II Peter 3:5-12]. . . They throwed the earth away from the sun, of course, it got cold. If you throw it into the sun, it'll burn. And just as He destroy it with water and put the bow in the sky, He wouldn't do it no more, now He give a promise He'd burn it. So there you come where sin and all glamour and all filth . . ." (Revelation, Chapter Four, Part III, p. 658:77-81).

God has been most gracious to you my Brother and Sister for you have heard, tested and received the Message of the Prophet of Malachi 4:5-6. "I'll send Elijah [before the great and dreadful day of the Lord], and I'm going to burn the whole earth, and I'm going to just clean it off, and you'll walk out upon their ashes." That's the millennium; we know that. After the atomic bomb shall blow it from pieces, then the earth will straighten up. And there'll be a great day here on the earth, and the Church will reign with Jesus on the earth for a thousand years." (Laodicean Church Age, p.508:75).

Israel Crest"Now, 1914, the world went to a war, and they have never been at peace since: constantly swinging in, swinging in, swinging in; and they're doing the very same thing yet. And what was they doing? Holding (O God, have mercy.), holding that great thing that I saw in the vision, the whole thing become to destruction, holding the atomic, holding the wars that they don't destroy themselves until the thing comes to destroy it; until Israel returns back and gets herself together; and then the Message will go to Israel, and she'll be sealed with that Seal of the Holy Ghost. After the Gentiles is called out the people for His Name's sake will be called out, which in this age right here they're called. Then Israel only receives a three-year-and-six-month's Message" (Ten Virgins, p.445:111, Revelation 7:1-3). nl821.htm

Modern Rats and the Bubonic Plague

Magen David
January 28, 2014 — These rats are the banksters and the politicians they own and the fleas they use to spread the disease are unsustainable Wall Street Bailouts, Federal Government debt and the unlimited ability for the Federal Reserve to print money out of thin air. These combined with Chinese determination to eliminate the dollar as the world's reserve currency are forming a storm that will rock the US to its very foundation as the end of the Petrodollar looms ominously on the horizon. . .

The problem is also magnified with the growing crack between the US and Saudi Arabia over Iran's nuclear program. Saudi Arabia is infuriated by the lack of US resolve to disarm (sic) Iran's [peaceful electricity-generating – Ed] nuclear program. Iran and Saudi Arabia are mortal enemies and the fears of nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran terrify Saudi Arabia. This rift further threatens the petrodollar as Saudi Arabia is moving away from America's protection and thus the need to accept only US dollars for its oil. . . Full story: Part I Part II

Comment: Links in this article and those below demonstrate the stratagems of rivals Vatican City State, City of London banksters, their puppet colonies and "the kings of the east and of the whole world" are motivated by mammon and global hegemony with no regard for citizens and subjects beyond massive depopulation.

China to Purchase the Federal Reserve; America's Karma and World War Two Gold Theft; SDR's and the New Bretton Woods – Part I.

January 22, 2014 — In a letter sent to lawmakers Wednesday, US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said the timeline for a borrowing boost has moved up slightly. When he first pressed Congress to increase the debt cap in December, he estimated a default could occur as late as early March. But based on "our best and most recent information," Lew now pegged the default deadline as sometime in late February, calling on Congress to boost it as soon as possible. SDR's and the New Bretton Woods – Part II.

January 30, 2014 — Zimbabwe abandoned its worthless currency in 2009. It accepts the US dollar and the South African rand as the main legal tender. Its central bank announced Wednesday it would accept the Chinese yuan, Australian dollar, Indian rupee and Japanese yen as legal tender. The public can now open accounts in those currencies.

NYSE Euronext Shutdown Before the Great Consolidation; QE Tapering Will Backfire on the Fed—precisely as prophesied by Brother Branham.

"A short work will the Lord make upon the earth" when He turns from us Gentiles to the Israelites (Romans 9:28). Scores if not hundreds of millions will perish when Los Angeles and much of earth's crust sinks, igniting the Pacific Ring of Fire and sending tidal waves around the world. Global depression will descend instantly along with the 'hot stage' of World War III following an earthquake in Israel that demolishes the Dome of the Rock. If you are not born-again ahead of that time by the Message of the Prophet of Revelation 10:7 your only option of retaining your salvation will be eventual martyrdom.

The Truth about Israel's Secret Nuclear Arsenal

Israel's nukes
January 16, 2014 — Israel has been stealing nuclear secrets and covertly making bombs since the 1950s. And western governments, including Britain and the US, turn a blind eye. But how can we expect [peaceful] Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions if the Israelis won't come clean? . . . The list of nations that secretly sold Israel the material and expertise to make nuclear warheads, or who turned a blind eye to its theft, include today's staunchest campaigners against proliferation: the US, France, Germany, Britain and even Norway . . .

It has in many ways become a burden for the US, but people in Washington, all the way up to Obama will not touch it, because of the fear it could compromise the very basis of the Israeli-US understanding". . . Full story: theguardian.com

Comment: What "basis of the Israeli-US understanding?" God has placed "enmity" between these people and Adam's race (Genesis 3:15; 27:39-41) and commanded Moses and the children of Israel to "smite and utterly destroy them"  (Deuteronomy 7:1-3). Adam's Messiah told them to their face they of Cain's lineage (Matthew 23:33-35), of their father the Devil and imbued with the same lusts. He was the murderer of Adam's race from the beginning and the father of lies (Genesis 3:4; John 8:44; II Corinthians 11:3).

Because these (once) Christian nations are apostate and "have not received the Love of Jesus Messiah (John 14:6) that they might be saved God has sent them a strong delusion that they should believe the lie Satan told Eve [that God loves you so dearly you will not "surely" die]".

Ariel Sharon is no Mandela

January 14, 2014 — "In spite of being vindicated by The Guardian AKA The Guardian of Zion, not a single head of state attended mass murderer Ariel Sharon's burial ceremony. I guess that the meaning of this is obvious. The Jewish Lobby is losing power—and rapidly. As much as Israel and Jewish leaders insisted to present the veteran MP as a 'man of peace,' not a single world leader was stupid enough to risk his or her reputation for 'The Lobby.' I guess the Jewish State has exhausted the window of opportunity given it by the nations. Israel should anticipate a rough time ahead" (Gilad Atzmon).

Comment: I consider Mandela and Sharon as two peas in a pod.

Pakistan Court: Death for British Man claiming to be Prophet of Islam

January 25, 2014 — Mohammad Asghar, a British national of Pakistani origin, was arrested in 2010 in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, near Islamabad, for writing letters claiming to be a prophet, police said.

The special court inside Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail, where Asghar is being held, rejected defence claims that the 65-year-old has mental health problems. "Asghar claimed to be a prophet even inside the court. He confessed it in front of the judge," Javed Gul, a government prosecutor said. "Asghar used to write it even on his visiting card."

Blasphemy is an extremely sensitive issue in Pakistan, where 97 per cent of the population is Muslim, and insulting the Prophet Mohammed can carry the death penalty. But the country has had a de facto moratorium on civilian hangings since 2008. Full story: abc.net.au

Comment: Such spiritual ignorance. No omnipotent infinite God needs puny man to physically kill one another for His honour. Killing dishonours Him and the names of those zealously trying to do Him a service against His will can be removed from the Book of Life and mercy extended to their victim.

Sun, Water, Winds and Weather

22 January 2014 — Apart from a tad of geothermal heat and a wisp of heat from nuclear power generators, every bit of surface energy (including coal and biomass) comes directly or indirectly from the sun. There is no other source of surface heat—everything else just stores, releases or re-directs solar energy . . .

The climatists claim that atmospheric carbon dioxide drives global warming. But the past seventeen years of rising CO2 without rising global temperatures shows this is untrue. So now they say that carbon dioxide causes wild weather. This too is untrue.

Water covers over 70% of the globe, is about 50 times more abundant than CO2 in the atmosphere and it is a far more effective "greenhouse gas." There can be no rain, snow, hail, ice or floods without water. And the absence of water produces deserts and droughts. It is water vapour that maintains the energy of storms, cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons. And it is water, not carbon dioxide, which plays a crucial role in the feared climate tipping points. . .

The recent heatwaves in Australia will inflame the climatists who will claim it is caused by wicked humans exhaling and exhausting carbon dioxide. But carbon dioxide is almost irrelevant to local heat conditions. That is all about wind. If the wind blows from the summer tropics for days, we will have a heat wave and possible bushfires; but if we get a winter gale from Polar Regions there may be brass-monkey mornings, sleet and sheep farmer alerts . . .

No doubt we will hear how the current heatwaves in Australia are "unprecedented" and evidence of dangerous man-made global warming. They are neither "global" nor "unprecedented." In the great heatwave of 1896, the temperature at Bourke did not fall below 45.6 ? for six weeks, and the maximum was 53.3 ?. Bushfires raged throughout NSW and 66 people perished in the heat. . . Full story: carbon-sense.com

Comment: The human-caused global warming campaign is a psychological warfare operation. Its goal is to convince the people to voluntarily accept the lowering of their standards of living to pre-industrial levels of consumption and willingly become medieval serfs for the NWO masters. Key in this PSYWAR is the way the conspirators'-controlled globalwarmers have implanted in the mind of a large majority the idea that an inert gas, vital in the maintenance of life in this planet, is actually a dangerous, poisonous pollutant. . .

The Last Days



Isaiah 2:1-4, "The Word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it."

From the night Jesus was born in Bethlehem heaven was brightened by the Shekinah in the form of a star seen only by the magi who followed it from the east for two years (Matthew 2:1-16). As Jesus was crucified at the time of a full moon the darkening of the Sun cannot have been caused by an ordinary eclipse of the sun and Luke 23:44-45 as well as historical records mention the darkening of the sun after the darkening of the earth. The sixth hour was midday and the darkness did not lift until the ninth hour (3.00pm) when Jesus died and the earth quaked as it will when Los Angeles sinks at the close of the Gentile dispensation.

"The last days" applies to the Messianic Age of redemption and completion which commenced in Judah at Jerusalem where Jesus Christ our KINSMAN Redeemer the real Passover Lamb was slain. Jesus commanded, "That repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His NAME (not three of His many Titles or dispensation claims) among all nations [of Adam's race], beginning at Jerusalem" (Luke 24:47; Acts 2:1-41; Matthew 24:27).

John described this "beginning" in Revelation 12:1, "And there appeared a great sign in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet and upon her head a crown of twelve stars." The woman signified the elect Israelites in Judea of whom Christ was born (Micah 5:2; John 4:22; 7:42), and who having crossed over from the Law represented as the moon under her feet are clothed with the S_O_N-Light and crowned with the doctrine of the twelve apostles. The "woman" became the New Testament Church whose members were primarily converted Israelites until the Thyatira Age (606 – 1760) when Gentiles became the majority.

Matthew 24:27, "The second or 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man will be like the lightning that flashes from the east and shines to the west. And wherever it illuminates the fresh Body-Word for the hour, there God's Eagles will gather to feed their souls." So in 1933 the Shekinah appeared in broad daylight as a star above Brother Branham as he was baptizing in the Ohio River following a revival meeting; and a Voice said, "As John the Baptist foreran My first Coming, your Message will forerun My second Coming" (Revelation 1:16, 20).

For two thousand years "the nations [or elect Gentiles of Adam's race] have flowed into the mountain of the Lord's House" for we comprise the House or Temple of the living God (I Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 2:20-22; Revelation 21:24-27) ["and since the Kingdom of God or baptism of the Holy Spirit has been preached, everyone in Adam's race indiscriminately presses into it regardless of status" (Luke 16:16; Luke 17:20-21)]. Joel 2:28-29 prophesied this "last days" outpouring on "all flesh" of Adam's race, then directed himself to Jerusalem, Judea, Israelites and their self-styled impersonators under the Seven Trumpet Judgments that have been reminiscent of the plagues on Egypt, and finally upon Christ-rejecting Gentiles under the Sixth Seal and Seventh Trumpet (Luke 21:25-26).

Joel 2:30-32, "I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. [At the close of the Gentile dispensation which will initiate the Day of the Lord when the sun and moon will be obscured and "the earth shall quake [as Los Angeles sinks and the Mount of Olives cleaves in two] and the stars will withdraw their shining" (Joel 2:10; 3:15). "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible Day of the Lord comes. [The end of the Gentile dispensation and the commencement of the Day of the Lord will coincide with no occasion for repentance between the signs and the Day. God's grace exhausted His wrath will smite the earth—the moon or churches will no longer reflect His Light, the stars of true ministers will be silenced and the false ministers will fall to the earth (Revelation 6:12). Brother Branham said that through the Rockefeller's World Council of Churches the (once) Protestant churches "will persecute the true Bride. This image will try to keep the bride from preaching and teaching, etc. Her ministers will be forbidden to give comfort and truth to the people who need it. But before the antichrist (in person) takes over this complete world system of churches the true church will be taken away from this world to be with the Lord. God will catch away His Bride for the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 376:1)]. And it will come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord will be delivered [in martyrdom (Revelation 14:12-13)]: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, and in the remnant 144,000 elect Israelites whom the Lord shall call".

In Daniel's Seventieth Week there will be spiritual deliverance to an election of 144,000 blood Israelites in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem "whom the Lord shall call" out from the lands of their exile following the Seventh Trump and not before (Isaiah 11:11-16; 27:13; 66:19-20; Jeremiah 3:11-20); these will be born-again and then martyred. Note carefully this remnant excludes Israeli 'Jews' presently in Mount Zion and Jerusalem for according to official statistics most of these are of those whom Obadiah 17-18 said "there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau" in the Day of the Lord. So what began in Jerusalem (Zechariah 8:20-23) will end in Jerusalem, but Israelites who fail to hear or neglect to heed the Lord's call to flee to the Land of the Covenant will be judged with the non-elect are reprobate Gentiles. Brother Branham said Jews "won't escape from the United States" (COD, p. 97:235).

Isaiah's attention is also directed beyond these events described by Joel to the end of days which will be one full day of a thousand years when the elect of all ages rest and receive instruction from the Lord prior to the general resurrection, Great White Throne Judgment and eternity in New Jerusalem and the renewed heavens and the renewed earth. In ancient times the "high places" were esteemed closer to the heavens and so eminently suited for places of worshipping a deity (Isaiah 2:2, 12-16), but in the millennium "the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations will flow unto it [for instruction in doctrine]."

Zechariah 14:9-10 says, "In that day the Lord shall be King over all the earth: there shall be one Lord, and His Name alone will be worshipped. [And compared with the Mountain of the Lord] all the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place [the antithesis of Babel's "tower whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth]."

Isaiah 2:3-4, "And many peoples will exhort come and exhort, Come, let us go up to the Mountain of the Lord, to the House of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for instruction in doctrine shall go forth from Zion and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And [as a sovereign king] He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more".

The spirit that endued Elijah came on Elisha in a double portion (II Kings 2:9-15); it anointed John the Baptist to introduce Messiah's first Coming (Isaiah 40:3-5; Malachi 3:1; 4:6a), and William Branham to restore the apostolic faith and introduce His second or 'parousia' Coming (Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 17:11; Revelation 10:7). Now Brother Branham has been with the Lord since December 24, 1965; when the Gentile dispensation ends the spirit that endued Moses will anoint a Hebrew prophet in Israel to bring the promise of Abraham and statutes and judgments of Horeb to remembrance and the 'Elijah' anointing will come upon his Israelite companion to reconfirm the prophetic vision and introduce Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming to Israel (Daniel 9:24; Malachi 4:4; Matthew 24:30-31; Acts 3:19-26).

In God's only Provided Place of Worship, 21:130-132 Brother Branham said: "One day, down on Jordan, after that Masterpiece had been formed and made, here He come sending down on the wings of a Dove, and said, "This is Him." He was so enthused with this Masterpiece until He struck Him on Calvary, that He'd die for the rest of us was imperfect; that through the shedding of His Blood, He might bring many masterpieces (being a Bride) to His Son. Masterpiece is scarred because the enthusiasm of God to see such a Masterpiece; He struck Him for us all. See? There He died to perfect we who are imperfect. The Masterpiece. . ."

completed Body of Christ"Notice in here, He said: . . . "Seven days shall you eat this unleavened bread. . ."

"Now, bread is typed. Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word." Not just a Word here and there as denominations would have you believe it. But the Word of God is perfect. It's God Himself in letter form, called a Seed. And the right kind of unadulterated faith in that Word will bring that Seed to its Life".

"That's exactly what you see at night in the discernments and all these other things because it's a promise that God made [Luke 17:28-30; Hebrews 4:12; 13:8; Genesis 18 – Ed].
And He stood by me and told me that, and told me these fakers would rise up, but hold steady. I believe it. And no selfish motive to hurt anybody, but to be reverent to God and to do the work that He called me to do, that's why I say these things. And God confirms it back, and receives the offer and the sacrifice by vindicating it to be the Truth: no question to it. Now, watch that Word".

The Church was inaugurated on the Day of Pentecost, and the Pentecostal Age (AD33 – AD53) was the antitype of the last six days of Israel's feast of Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:6) which is the THUS SAITH THE LORD of the apostles and Prophets on which the Church is founded (I Corinthians 3:11-3; Ephesians 2:20). The Word spoken by God's prophets is the original Seed (Luke 8:11) but through the Church Ages the men organized and leavened the Word with human reasoning so that it was no longer God's Spirit and eternal Life (John 6:63; Revelation 22:17-19); being hybridized it cannot manifest the 'third pull' for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. So God anointed Brother Branham with the Elijah spirit to restore the apostolic faith, finish the mystery of God and call the wise and foolish virgin OUT from Rome and her (once) Protestant harlot daughters INTO "the unity of the faith" and maturity for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation (Matthew 25:6; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 13:10; 15:50-56; Ephesians 1:10; 4:13; Revelation 18:4, etc).

In his Message, On the Wings of a Snow White Dove, p. 16:94-98, 191-225, the Prophet explained how Noah "went out and got an untrusted bird, treacherous, and he tried him, and he sent him out. He was a crow, and that crow never did return, because he found pleasure out there, outside the ark of God. He flew from one old dead body to another, eating the carcasses and the a-carrion that was floating on the water; and he was perfectly satisfied."

"So after several days he tried again, for . . . he didn't want to step out in the wrath of God. So he turned a dove loose. And this dove was of a different nature than the . . . It was not a vulture; neither is it a scavenger; it can only eat the clean pure things. And it was so satisfied because it couldn't find nothing else to put the soles of his feet on, it returned back to the ark. Noah said, "Well, the flood's still on."

"Then he waited several other days, and he sent out again; like his prayer, "O God, has Your wrath been appeased? Is Your wrath over, Lord? Is it all done?" And he said, "Now, if I send her out this time, she may stay out there if the floods are down; she may stay." But he sent her out by prayer, and then when she went out there directed by God, she picked off a holly leaf off of a tree, and flew back and pecked on the window again."

"God used the dove for a sign. She come back saying that the flood is over, and then God opened the door, and they went out. That's Genesis 8:8-12."

"Also used in Matthew 3:16, again when God's wrath was on the earth. And there was no way; the darkest of night, midnight, the churches had got things in such a twist till there was no way to get out of it. And there was false teachers, all kinds of things coming up, all kinds of professions coming up, but God used a dove again. It pleased Him; His Son Jesus had pleased Him so well, that He identified Him. . ."

Brother Branham recalled one of his mother's dreams in which she saw six white doves and said, "Well, the little animal that I saw was six inches long. The string of doves that Mom saw was six; six is incomplete. I knew that someday I'd see that seventh one. That was man, suffering; so on and on it went. . ." One day he climbed up to Sabino Canyon in the Catalina Mountains of Arizona, "the place where the Angel of the Lord put the Sword in my hand. Real early; and started climbing up the mountain." The Voice of the Lord said, "Your enemy is dead . . . I mashed through it with my foot."

The next day he was inspired to return. "There set the dove, setting there looking at me. I walked around; I thought, "Surely, it's a vision." I turned my head; I looked back, and there he set there, them little, white wings, just as snowy as he could be, his little, yellow feet; and little, yellow beak; setting there looking at me. He was watching right straight westward. . . "

"The third day I went back; I was climbing up high. And many of you know the vision about the Indian chief riding that little wall to the west. Something attracted me off to a big rock, about noon time, said, "Lay your hands against that and pray." God in heaven knows this is true."

Eagle in rock Sabino Canyon"I laid my hands against the rock and looked up towards heaven and started praying, and I heard a Voice coming out of the top of the rocks there, said, "What are you leaning against, over your heart?" And I raised back like this, my bare shoulders; naked from my waist up, hot. I looked back. And there was wrote in the quartz, in the stone, white, "Eagle" just exactly what the vision said that the next Message would come forth by. I was so excited I run home, got a camera, and come back the next day, and took the picture of it. It was still there, wrote in the rock, white, "Eagle." (Dove leading eagle)."

"Dear God, I thank You for these things, Father. You give Noah the sign; You gave the world the sign, and You gave me a sign. And the next day, seeing that eagle flying, O God, there's a Message coming forth now, and I pray, God, that You'll let the Dove lead . . . The wounded Dove has brought the Message back, O God, "It's finished . . . I believe I'll ride this trail again; I got to bring a Message".

This means that His Message will speak louder in his decease than it did in his lifetime. Throughout the Book of Revelation John represents Christ's end-time Bride, so replace his name with your own. "And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again, and said, Go and take the little Book which is open in the hand of [Christ] the Angel who stands upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went to the angel, and said, Give me the little Book. And he said, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make your belly bitter, but it shall be in your mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little Book out of the Angel's hand, and ate it up [or became one with the Message]; and [the revelation] was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter [because I had to live its every Word]. And he told me, You must prophesy the Message again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings" (Revelation 10:8-11).

The dove signifies the Holy Spirit while the eagle represents God's prophet, William Branham who was the angel to the Seventh Church Age under the Fourth Seal that was introduced by the living creature with the face of an eagle (Revelation 6:7). The members of Christ's end-time Bride are also referred to as Eagles led by the dove (Matthew 24:28).

Brother Branham's FordThose Messages were delivered in Shreveport, Lousiana on November 28, 1965. On December 18 a carload of soldiers, whose drunken seventeen-year-old driver had a history of crime from the age of eleven, and had been released from a reformatory only 30 days before, crossed to the wrong side of the road and was killed instantly. Brother Branham died six days later. This image shows the extent of the damage to his 1964 Ford. The purpose of this second Message was to confirm that his commission specified in the Scriptures cited above was fulfilled and we now have the perfect interpretation of the unleavened fullness of the Word with divine vindication.

One Scripture pertaining to Brother Branham's ministry is Matthew 24:37, "The conditions of Noah's day will repeat in the days of the second or 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man" requires us to visit the type in Genesis 6 so that we will know what to anticipate in the antitype, recognize our day and its Message, and identify our place in God's Word. We know Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming was in March, 1963, and that He is present in the prophetic office Son of man. And now we recognize that the besetting sin of Noah's day which was miscegenation between the cursed race of Cain and the race of Adam causing genocide to Adam's race is repeating, encouraged by the UN and governments worldwide.

Last Sunday Pope Francis prayed for the start of a "constructive dialogue" in Ukraine, and "as it was in the days of Noah" two white doves were released to symbolize the hope for peace. However they were immediately attacked by a crow and a seagull. On a previous occasion Pope Benedict released a dove; it too was attacked by a seagull and Pope John Paul II had difficulties with doves. A crow signifies a hypocrite; he can feed from a rotting carcass or eat wheat. A seagull is also a scavenger, but a dove can only eat grain. A hypocrite can feed on spiritual things and also profanity, but a born-again Christian can only feed on THUS SAITH THE Lord. I do not know the interpretation of the omen but the United States, CIA, Vatican and Jewry are disrupting peace in the Ukraine and the Judaeo-Roman crow is the hypocritical enemy of both Orthodox and (once) Protestant scavenger religions and Judaeo-Communism which God has raised to destroy Rome as He raised Nebuchadnezzar to chastise Judah and raze His Temple.

In Isaiah 2:5-9 the Prophet pleads with the whole house of Israel to strive for the ideal described in the first four verses because the millennial kingdom will be Israel (Acts 1:6; Micah 4). "O house of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the Light of the Lord. For You, God, have repudiated your people the house of Jacob, because they are influenced from the east and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers . . . . therefore forgive them not." From the Captivity they have relied on foreign gods—their Talmudic religion is the antithesis of Moses and the prophets; Babylonian fractional reserve banking is usury, foreign alliances and the military might of the US and other ungodly nations has replaced faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and their materialistic Laodicean lifestyle makes them "lovers of themselves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, miscegenators, homosexuals, pederasts, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof . . . as it was in the days of Noah." All of these things are forbidden by the Word of God but continue to this day.

Isaiah 2:10-22 refers to the Sixth Seal and Seventh Trumpet, "Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust away from the dread Presence of the Lord and from the splendour of His majesty" [as in verses 19-21 and Revelation 6:15-16]. "The proud looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in . . . the Day of the Lord".

Isaiah's prophecy covers 2,640 years of Israel's future history encompassing the invasions of Assyria, Babylon, and Rome. As we live at the very end of man's day I focus on what Isaiah says regarding Israel's present and immediate future. In chapters 3 – 5 he describes the alien non-Semitic rulers of Laodicean Israel as: "babies, ruling childishly. The worst sort of anarchy will prevail, every man oppressing his fellow; youths will revolt against authority, and criminals will sneer at honourable men" as Paul prophesied in II Timothy 3 – 4. In company with Messiah Jesus, Isaiah denounces Laodicean Israel as a Sodom of physical Serpent's seed (Heb.) 'Zuwr' insulting the righteous (Isaiah 1:7-10; 3:9-12; Luke 17:18-20; Genesis 19:3-5; Revelation 11:8). Nonetheless, in Daniel's Seventieth Week, Jerusalem will be a place of refuge as was Goshen in Egypt prior to the exodus. For at the end of days the Lord will shake the whole earth with an earthquake and call the 144,000 elect Israelites out from the lands of exile to the Land of the Covenant (Hebrews 12:26).

The chief agents of the corruption are Laodicean Israel's non-Semitic leaders; self-styled Jews like ben Gurion, Weizmann, Begin, Meir, Dayan, Peres, Sharon, and Netanyahu. Hence the Lord stands in judgment against them (Isaiah 3:13-15; Daniel 9:27). As time has overtaken us we will proceed to Isaiah 6.

Isaiah 6:1-4, "In [758BC] the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord [Jesus Christ] sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple." John 12:37-41 says, "Though Jesus had performed so many attesting miracles before them, the Pharisees did not believe in Him: in order that the Word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah also said: He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and be converted and I should heal them. Isaiah said these things, when he saw His glory, and spoke of Him".

This accords with I Peter 1:10-12 which says that the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament Prophets was the Spirit of Christ; and with I Corinthians 10:4 where Paul declares that the spiritual rock that led Israel through the wilderness was Christ.

Shekinah on WMBBrother Branham said, "When He, His august Presence comes in and blesses us, and proves by the Scripture, here He is, a Word confirmed. Eight or ten people right here healed setting right here. And it's more. If you'll take my word, as His servant, that Light that you see in the picture that science has right here in Washington, D.C., as, the only supernatural Being ever taken, that Light is just circling this building, around and around, and around and around. Now, that is right" (#18:7, Sir, We would See Jesus, p. 38:294).

"Here's His Presence. He's here what He said He would do. The sign that He said we would get, here He is. While the music's playing sweetly, let's just confess our wrong. "I'm not nothing anyhow, Lord. Speak to my heart. Cleanse me first, Lord. Send the Holy Ghost and cleanse me. I know I'm in Your Presence. I see You as Isaiah saw You, moving. The place is full of, not smoke now, it's full of Light, full of glory . . . It's just everywhere" (#18:9, Influence, p. 32:230, 234).

Ezekiel 1 describes the same vision [in 595BC], and John (who represents Christ's end-time Bride throughout the Book of Revelation) saw the vision set after March 8, 1963 when the Laodicean Church Age ended. The Ark had completed its travels and was no longer rolling on wheels; Christ's mediation was fulfilled, redemption was over, and in the absence of the blood the Mercy Seat is now a Judgment Seat on which Jesus Messiah in the prophetic office Son of man is "high and lifted up" as King of Kings and Judge (John 5:27; Revelation 4 – 5).

From the revelation of the Seven Seals until the first resurrection earth is God's Mercy Seat because the Life is in the Blood and Christ's Bride is the Blood of Christ by the baptism with the Holy Ghost so our presence withholds the wrath of God; when the Holy Spirit "is taken out of the way" by the translation of "we who are alive and remain" God will smite the earth with a curse (Leviticus 17:11; Galatians 3:26-29; II Thessalonians 2:6-7). So it is essential that we hold the Token over family, friends and loved ones because as long as they respect and are under the atmosphere of your Token they are sanctified, and their names remain on the Book of Life (I Corinthians 7:12-14; II Corinthians 5:17-18).

Pillar of CloudIt was not the usual Shekinah that was on the mercy seat, and no form is specified but "above Him stood the seraphim: each had six wings; with two he covered his face [in reverence], and with two he covered his feet [in humility], and with two he flew [in service]." As far as we know they had no clothing, but Jesus had a flowing robe and train and the "face" and "feet" imply a human form and it is my understanding as we have taught elsewhere that the seraphim signify the Messengers to the seven Church Ages and formed the Pillar of Cloud into which Brother Branham was caught up from Sunset Mountain the morning Jesus Christ opened the Seven Seals. His train that follows wherever He goes is the angels or theophanies of His Bride (Revelation 4, Part III, p. 695:282; Revelation 19:14).

Brother Branham explained, "Now, the Seraphims, actually the Hebrew word there is "Burners." They were the one who offered incense and the sacrifice. It's just a high order of angels that makes the way for the sinner, as long as there's a sacrifice. And these Seraphims, specially, these Burners had a special office, they stayed right in the Presence of God. They're the same as the Cherubim, and they were right in the Presence of God" (#21:6, Influence, p.11:68). The Messenger to the Church Age receives the sacrifice of praise which is the revelation of "the present truth" and delivers it to the churches; it cleanses the elect worshipper and Christ receives him as a written epistle of the Word for his day and excuses his ignorance of the fullness of the Word. Notice the Prophet said "that makes way for the sinner as long as there's a sacrifice." That was during the Church Ages when Christ is interceding for the ignorance of the PART-Word saints. It will NOT work today for the sacrifice has left the altar and as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah He is "high and lifted up" enthroned as King of kings and Judge.

Christ's end-time Bride with the fullness of the Word has no need for a mediator. We don't go the seventh angel William Branham but to the Man with the open Book and say, "Give me the little Book [of the fullness of the Word]." And Jesus said, "Take it, and become one with it" (Revelation 10:9-10).

"And [like each of the seven angels to the Churches] one seraph cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory. [(Revelation 4:9-11; 5:8-14; 18:1; Ezekiel 1:28; 43:2; Zechariah 14:7). But when the Seven Seals were opened there was silence. The Prophet said "Jesus comes from heaven with ten thousands times ten thousands of His saints, and the Bible said that the heavens was empty for the space of a half hour" (Sardis Church Age, p. 348:96; The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 557:1-2; Job 38:7; Daniel 7:10; I Thessalonians 2:19-20; 4:14; Jude 14-15; Revelation 5:11; 8:1). And the posts of the door moved at the Voice of the one that called and the house was filled with smoke".

Amos 9 (the prophet to Israel) provides a clearer picture of Isaiah 6:4. It threatens that nowhere will the Israelites be safe from the divine judgments under the Sixth Seal, however an election of 144,000 blood Israelites signified as "the tabernacle of David" or millennial temple will be redeemed (Amos 9:11; Ezekiel 40 – 48). He sees the Lord standing at the bloodless altar of sacrifice executing His judgment as if all Israel were assembled with their unpardoned abominations (Matthew 23:33-39; 27:25; Revelation 6:11; 14:12-13). "I saw the Lord standing at the altar: and He told me, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that flees shall not flee away, and he that escapes shall not be delivered".

Boaz & JachinThe "lintels" were the sphere-like capitals of the two gigantic cast brass columns or "pillars" either side of the porch or entrance of King Solomon's Temple, and every Mason knows, "He set up the right pillar and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar and called the name thereof Boaz" (I Kings 7). The Lord commanded that the capitals be smitten until the "posts" or thresholds of the doorway, which are part the foundation, shake the temple to the ground. "Then break them on the heads of the whole people. And should any escape the crash of the building, God will slay them with a sword, and not one will escape".

Considering Isaiah 6 from our Gentile perspective the shaking of the temple took place on March 8, 1963 at Revelation 5, the breach between Church Ages and the Seals when another mighty angel came down from heaven above Sunset Mountain with "the little Book open . . . and cried with a loud Voice as when a lion roars." It is the temple of the world church system that is really the world with God's Name on it and the sleeping virgins who believe they are Christian pillars that were shaken (Revelation 3:12; 18:4). And as Isaiah was reconciled for his new commission when his uncircumcised lips were cleansed with the Holy Ghost and Fire so he could declare THUS SAITH THE LORD, Brother Branham received the Sword of the Lord which signified the Word of God in his right hand and later caught up into the constellation of angels to receive his new commission after the blast of seven thunders as Christ broke the Seals.

As Isaiah 6:1-4 describes the scene of the vision, Isaiah 6:5-7 describes the prophet's terror and his allying of it: "Then I said, Woe is me! For I am lost, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips: [you will recall Brother Branham's concern not knowing the meaning of his vision which he described to his Church on December 30, 1962, three months before it came to pass]: for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. [And so did Brother Branham, and we have seen Him in W_O_R_D form]. Then flew one of the seraphim to me, having in his hand a burning coal, which he had taken with tongs from off the altar: and he touched it on my mouth and said, Look! This has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin is forgiven".

Brother Branham said, "The whole earth shook, everywhere. Rocks that size rolled down, dust flying like that. And I looked, and standing before me stood seven Angels, just exactly the way it was. I felt like I was standing way up off the ground. First, I thought somebody'd shot me, you know, with that black hat on; looked like a javelina hog anyhow, you know, they're dark. I thought somebody'd shot me . . . And I seen then what it was. Well . . . I got my commission, and the Scripture, "The Seven Seals which is the seven mysteries. . ." (Trying to Do God a Service Without it being God's Will, p. 10:70).

Having seen the Lord Isaiah 6:8-13 describes his second call; his new commission is to preach the hardening of Israel: "Upon being cleansed I heard the Voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me. And He said, Go, and tell this people, keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive. Cause the heart of this people to be unreceptive; cause their ears to be hard of hearing, and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their hearts, and repent and are healed."

Isaiah, Brother Branham and every prophet is a sign of judgment, but God's holy indignation is not without love. Prophets bring warning and a way to escape the coming judgment. The revelation of Jesus' first Coming was refused by unbelievers who had been blinded by the Talmudic teaching of their spiritually blind rabbis so that we Gentiles could enter into grace; and the revelation of the Seven Seals has blinded the unbelievers so that we could receive Christ's second Coming before He reveals Himself to Israel (Matthew 24:27-31; Zechariah 12:9-14).

eclipse over JerusalemThe Prophet said, "So many good, sincere people today are caught away in these creeds, churches and organizations, "having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof," as II Timothy 3 says. Gross darkness, blinding of Israel, was for the lightening of the Gentiles. Now, the blinding of the Gentiles is the lightening of Israel. It's just like the day and night; one side has got darkness, the other side's got light; and then the light comes over on the other side. So the moon passing the way it did [on its eclipse over Jerusalem on December 30, 1963 ahead of Pope Paul VI's visit to meet Ecumenical Patriarch Athanagoras I], and the reflection of the darkness of the world blinding out its light, is a reflection to us that the Gentile church age is finished. The church is making herself ready, been making herself ready for a time; it's time for the rapture [which has been in PROCESS since Brother Branham revealed the Seals in March, 1963]. For darkness is fading upon the Gentiles, and dawn will soon break upon the Jews. [He means Israelites]."

"The sun has traveled from the east to the west, and we're on the west coast. The Light can only do one thing, go back east, on the other side. You understand, do you? [Congregation says, "Amen" – Ed.] The Light can only go back east again to where it begin at, Israel. God blinded them for a while, but the darkness now is pressed upon the Gentile world that's covered the whole thing. The Gentiles will trod down Jerusalem until the Gentile dispensation will be finished. Jesus said so. And now it's finished, gross darkness upon the people, God reflecting it in the skies, as He has shown it on earth before it all happens. We're in it" (Shalom #13:5, p. 17:93-94).

In his Message The Indictment (p. 11:70-76) Brother Branham said, "The same attitude in the people today is doing the same thing spiritually that they did physically then: they crucified physically Jesus Christ the Son of God. . . I say fifty years ago it could not been done. But today this is very timely . . . because the time is run out. . . I believe that this nation cannot repent . . . we are guilty of the same sins that God destroyed the . . . antediluvian world. We're guilty of the same sins that He destroyed the world in Sodom and Gomorrah. And we got all the same spiritual evidence laying here before us, all the same spiritual evidence, worldwide known, that brought down the mercies of God on those generations, that also to reject brought judgment. So if this generation has rejected the same mercy that was spurned in them days, God would be unjust to let them get by without judgment".

In every dispensation from the Garden of Eden the Message was sent only for God's elect so Jesus was instructing Isaiah that whatever he should say to the Israelites he should not speak in expectation of being understood and favoured but conscious that his words will generally not be understood, and being disregarded serve as a witness against the people, causing hardness of heart justifying their condemnation in the manner of Moses' admonitions to Pharaoh. It was for this cause Jesus spoke in parables (Matthew 13:10-16; John 12:40) and instructed Brother Branham "Now, there's a third pull coming, but don't try to explain it" (Sirs, Is This the Time? p. 49:3). And throughout the last days there has been much ceaseless but fruitless hearing in response to the ceaseless but fruitless preaching as Paul prophesied in II Timothy 3:7 and turned to us Gentiles (Acts 28:25-29). Brother Branham said the foolish virgin are non-elect not because they have not heard, but because they were slothful or dilatory in disrespect to what they have heard.

Isaiah's Message was an indictment of Israel for the coming 2,640 years. He was not told what he would announce but what would be the consequences of his Message. It was without regard to the personal difficulty of making such absolute announcements but only because the fate of his people distressed him that Isaiah inquires how long the Lord's anger and the hardening of Israel's uncircumcised hearts is to persist:

"Then said I, Lord, how long (Daniel 12:6; Revelation 6:11)?" And He answered, "Until the cities ARE MADE RUINS without inhabitants, the houses without people and the land utterly desolate, and the Lord sends men far away, and the forsaken places of the land will be many. And though a tenth remains in it, it shall again be consumed, but as a terebinth tree or an oak whose stump remains when it is felled, so the holy seed [or 144,000 elect] is its stump".

Israel's stump always remains as the guarantee of new life and a glorious future. We know that the time for Israel to be born-again as a nation in one day is close because Brother Branham said, "when you begin to see the year of Jubilee, where we don't have to fuss and strain and pull like this, but we're already secured in Christ . . ." (Revelation, Chapter Five, Part II, p. 779:182). nl820.htm
