Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; it is always good to see you.

The ministry of Christ's end-time Bride's is mainly preaching to the living dead: souls that are in prison now. Like Russia we speak truth to power, whereas the United States, NATO, and their toady allies speak lies in hypocrisy. Jesus Christ prophesied such apostasy in the end-time from denominational Christians who are spiritually blind and know it not. These misguided people will preach their false gospels into the millennium, killing all who will not receive their mark of the beast which is trinitarianism (Revelation 3:17; 13:15-18).

People complain about Islam, not realizing that Islam is a Jewish creation like the Roman Catholic church and the Jesuits, and that the barbaric behaviour of fanatical Islamists first projected into Hamas by terrorist former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and the MOSSAD, is today projected to unthinking Muslims by Israel's MOSSAD and Jewish-ruled nations like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, the US, UK, NATO, and apostate once Christian countries worldwide often by taxpayer-funded perverse Jewish news and entertainment.

Jewry has projected the perversions of equality and multiculturalism that are accursed by the God of Israel from Genesis to Revelation. He prophesied this would be one of the besetting sins today as it was in the days of Noah. So it is unfair to blame the Muslims for immigration and invading the apostate once Christian world, it is your own fault for not upholding the Absolute of God's unchanging Word thus enabling Jewish lobby groups and parliamentarians to change the law.

This was all meticulously planned as disclosed by The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, the plans for World War III and the recorded ministry of many leading rabbis, some of which is posted in our Church Newsletters. Jesus prophesied that "while the Bridegroom tarried, the virgins all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the Bridegroom, come out to meet Him" (Matthew 25:5-6). That "cry" is the "shout" of the seventh angel's Message that has been going forth since the revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth is W_O_R_D form.

We Gentiles are as spiritually blind and deaf to the Voice of the Lord today as the Israelites were in the days of His (Gk.) erchomai Coming. "This people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them" (Matthew 13:15).

The mail article in today's Newsletter is "The Time is at Hand"; this will explain precious secrets that underscore just how late in the day we are. "The secret things belong to the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us (Deuteronomy 29:29).

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.

Jay Billington Trump and The Post

Donald Trump
December 8, 2015 — The first week in December the leading candidate for the Republican nomination for president by a considerable margin, Donald Trump was in my area (exactly 17.2 miles away from my home according to Mapquest) and I could have gone to see him speak, but I didn't know about it. Unfortunately, I am heavily dependent for my news on my home-delivered Washington Post and they didn't tell me that he was speaking at the fairgrounds in Manassas, Virginia, on the night of Wednesday, December 2.

In fact, I didn't even know what I had missed until Friday. The Post apparently didn't bother to cover his Manassas speech right there in a Washington suburb. A friend in another state notified me about an Associated Press article he had seen on Trump's speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition in Washington on Thursday night. What the friend had told me about the AP article made me want to hear the full speech, which I found on YouTube. I was surprised to hear Trump refer in that speech to his rally so near to me in Manassas the night before.

During the Franklin Roosevelt era, it was The New York Times, but at least since Watergate, no one better represents America's ruling establishment than The Washington Post, and The Post is absolutely frantic about Trump's political success. I have summed up their Trump coverage with a poem on my web site:
Trump Tarred
If you believe The Washington Post
You're sure that Trump has to go.
Of mud they're slinging the most
Since they took on Tail Gunner Joe.

Comment: American voters and all who wish to be informed must read this article, watch the videos and follow the links. Maybe, just maybe America will find a leader. But he will be up against Jews and their Judaeo-Catholic church, Judaeo-Communism (which Jesus called the spirit of Laodicea) and other elements of the City of London.



Russia in an Invisible War

December 10, 2015 — By the end of 1990s, Russia was a state that economically and financially was at the level of the third world. An anti-oligarch rebellion was brewing in the country. It was fighting an endless and hopeless war with Chechens that spilled over to Dagestan. National security was supported only by nukes, as to conduct a serious operation even within its own borders, the army had neither trained personnel nor modern equipment, the fleet could not sail, and aviation could not fly . . .

Why did the open confrontation which we are now getting out of Washington not begin 10-15 years ago when Russia had no chance to withstand sanctions? [Because] in the 1990s or 2000s the US started installing puppet regimes on the post-Soviet space, including Moscow . . . totally disregarding international law, replacing it with arbitrary actions. NATO and the EU are getting ready to move to the Russian borders. Russia has nothing to respond with . . .

Naturally, there is never too much time, and Russia would have preferred to postpone the direct confrontation with the US, which started in 2012-13, by another 3-5 years, or even avoid it altogether, but the diplomacy won 12-15 years for the country—a huge period of time in today's rapidly changing world . . .

Comment: The 'hidden hand' and the spirit of Judaeo-Communism now openly rules the USA which trusts not in God, for she rejected her last opportunity for national repentance in 1956. The non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jew, P.M. Netanyahu said, "Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away." After the apostate US has enabled them to reconquer Russia, they will "blow it away" as the Bible and William Branham foretold.

When the Man comes around

cowardly/dastardly US-MOSSAD murderous invaders
December 13m 2015 — A pamphlet aimed at civilians, and designed to look like 'religious literature', read: 'Co-operate with the army and leave the zone of the special operations for the sake of your own life.' It said they can travel through Syrian checkpoints safely with the leaflet, and the government will give them 'shelter, food and medical aid'. Another one, meant for ISIS fighters, said: 'Don't make it even worse for yourselves. 'The Motherland [presumably Syria] is ready to hug you back again. Give up your arms as hundreds of other young guys like you have done.' One of the pamphlets . . . featured a cartoon of an al-Nusra Front [for USA/MOSSAD/Turkey/Saudi Arabia/Qatar] figurine being wound up by Israel and the United States . . . The flyers were let go over the embattled cities of Rastan and Talbiseh, which have been pounded by Moscow's warplanes this week and where Russia claims 5,000 ISIS and al-Nusra Front terrorists are stationed. It came as Russian media said there would soon be a large ground operation in the area driven by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's troops—with Russia's military backing from the air and possibly on the ground, involving Spetsnatz Special Forces. Iranian troops are said to have crossed the border from Iraq last week to help . . . Full story: youtube.com  dailymail.co.uk

Neocons' Hegemonic Goal of making Sovereign Countries Extinct bringing Extinction of Planet Earth

Paul Craig Roberts
December 12, 2015 — Paul Craig Roberts writes: Daily we observe additional aggressive actions taken by Washington and its vassals against Russia and China . . . The IMF's plan is to leave Russia and China as countries who lack the usual enforcement mechanism to collect from debtors, thus permitting debtors to default on the loans without penalty. The bottom line is that Western Capitalism is simply a looting mechanism that has successfully suborned Western governments and all Western "do-good" institutions . . .

To avoid the coming conflict that the neoconservatives' pursuit of American hegemony is bringing, the Russians have relied on fact-based, truth-based diplomacy. However, neocon Washington relies on lies and propaganda and has many more and much louder voices . . . the "war on terror" is, in fact, a war to create terror that can be exported to Muslim areas of Russia and China in order to destabilize the two countries that serve as a check on Washington's unilateral, hegemonic power.

The problem for the neocon unilateralists is that Russia and China—although misinformed by their "experts" educated abroad in the neoliberal tradition, people who are de facto agents of Washington without even knowing it—are powerful military powers, both nuclear and conventional . . . to press these two powerful countries so hard can only lead to war. As Washington is not a match for Russia and China in conventional warfare, the war will be nuclear, and the result will be the end of life on earth . . .

But Putin has caught on. Russia is not going to submit. Soon China will understand that US dependency on China's workforce and imports is not a protection from Washington's aggression . . . When China looks beyond its MIT and Harvard miseducated neoliberal economists to the writing on the wall, Washington is going to be in deep trouble . . .

President PutinIndications are that Russia has had enough of American arrogance . . . Putin is Russia's choice of a leader, and he is one. Russia also has the technology and a sense of itself that no longer exists in the [multicultural] diversified West. There is nothing like Putin anywhere in the West, over which presides a collection of bought-and-paid-for-puppets who report to private interest groups, such as Wall Street, the military-industrial complex, the Israel Lobby, agribusiness . . . Putin, backed by the President of China, announced that half of the world no longer accepts American unilateralism. Additionally, Putin said Russia can no longer tolerate the state of affairs in the world that results from Washington's pursuit of hegemony. Two days later Putin took over the fight against ISIS in Syria . . .

Washington took advantage of . . . trust placed in Washington by Russia, and arranged for a Turkish jet fighter to ambush an unsuspecting Russian fighter-bomber.

Neocons are the unhumans who created on purpose the "war against terror" in order to gain a weapon against Russia and China. You can witness these unhumans every day on talk TV and read them in the Weekly Standard, National Review, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the British, German, Australian, Canadian, and endless Western newspapers.

In the West lies prevail, and the lies are driving the world to extinction. An expert reminds us that it only takes one mistake and 30 minutes to destroy life on earth. Full story: paulcraigroberts.org

EU Member of Parliament: NATO seeks ways to shut down RT

December 10, 2015 — Javier Cuoso a Spanish member of the European Parliament accused NATO members Thursday of openly saying they need to stop Russia Today from continuing its news coverage and operations in general . . . he mentioned teleSUR along with RT as one of the few media that question mainstream news outlets . . . during RT's 10th anniversary celebrations. "They previously bombed Al Jazeera twice, once in Kabul and then in Baghdad, and now they are preparing laws to ban RT from broadcasting," said Cuoso, who is a member of the European Parliament's Defense and Security Commission . . .

Israel Key Link in Exporting ISIS Oil

December 9, 2015 — Vijay Prashad says that ISIS oil is smuggled through Turkey to Israel, [sold in France], and is a major source of ISIS funding and has been for years (as we have reported recently, and over the years from Kurdish arrangements with Israel). Full story: youtube.com

Comment: In this way Israel is funding the MOSSAD, Saudi, US, Turkish, Qatar proxy army, and hospitalizing their wounded mercenaries dailymail.co.uk

Russia is not alone in accusing Turkey of being involved in the theft of Syrian and Iraqi oil. Turkish opposition politicians, Turkish media, and various governments in the Middle East have also raised their voices about the role of Turkish officials in smuggling from the conflict zones in Syria and Iraq (globalresearch.ca. Another instance where we find the US, NATO and 'allies' such as Australia fighting in support of liars and international criminal activity.

Pentagon announces Worldwide Expansion of US Military Bases

December 11, 2015 — The US Defense Department (DOD) is preparing to expand its global network of military bases by establishing a new "string" of bases in countries stretching from Africa to East Asia, unnamed Pentagon officials told the New York Times Wednesday . . . West Africa is a main focus of the expanded basing plans, and will host one of the larger hubs . . .

Some 400 US troops have been deployed to forward operating bases in western Ukraine, where they are reportedly gathering information about Russian forces stationed near the eastern border with Russia, Military Times reported Thursday. Intelligence gathered from the military spying is already being used to develop new training programs for the main US Army infantry school on the European continent, located in Germany . . .

Comment: The US is the image unto the beast of Imperial Rome. It is not fighting terrorism but creating terrorism.

Financial Ecology: the Tree that hides the Forest

December 7, 2015 — Thierry Meyssan exposes the Climate Pretext 1997-2010 from Margaret Thatcher's 1988 scam which spurred the G7 to finance an intergovernmental Study Group on Climate Change (IPCC) under the auspices of UNEP and the World Meteorological Organization. This new Anglo-Saxon policy intends to use global warming to advance its two major objectives: to save capitalism and to appropriate to itself the UN's ability to write international law.

During 40 years of UN discussions on the environment, things have not improved, quite the contrary. But an amazing conjuring trick has been achieved: the responsibility of States has been forgotten, that of the multinational has been obscured [e.g. TTIP and TTP], whereas that of individuals is stigmatized. The tree hides the forest.

In international summits, no one attempts to assess the energy cost of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, including daily airlifts to transport United States logistical support to the battlefield, including the soldiers' rations. No one measures the living areas contaminated by depleted uranium ammunition from the Balkans to Somalia through the Greater Middle East. Nobody mentions farmland destroyed by fumigation as part of the war on drugs in Latin America and Central Asia; nor those sterilized by the spraying of Agent Orange, from the Vietnamese jungle to Iraqi palm groves.

Until the Cochabamba conference, the collective consciousness has obviously forgotten that the main environmental damage is not the consequence of particular lifestyles or civil industry but corporate wars to allow multinational to exploit natural resources, and the ruthless exploitation of these resources by the multinationals to supply the imperial armies. Which brings us back to our starting point, when U Thant proclaimed "Earth Day" to protest against the Vietnam War . . .

Comment: Also ignored is geoengineering by HAARP and chemtrails laid by worldwide the CIA's Evergreen Airlines. Then unknown to the public, the lawyer Barack Obama wrote the statutes for the world stock market in greenhouse gas emission rights. Now you know why he was pushing Al Gore's HOAX in Paris this week$$$

The upset is voluntary emission caps, voluntary progress reviews, no international oversight of any voluntary progress, and voluntary contributions to the Fund, obligating the US to slash fossil fuel use and send billions of taxpayer dollars annually to dictators, bureaucrats and crony industrialists in poor countries would be disastrous (carbon-sense.com).

Global warming scam to destroy Russian Economy for NWO billionairres global hegemonyNow the $20 billion scam into which former Goldman Sachs director, the usurping Jewish Prime Minister of Australia Malcolm Turnbull has promised $1.1 billion off his own initiative which Australian taxpayers must borrow at usury from Jewish banksters; Jewish Foreign Minister Julie Bishop is in on the deal. No wonder they betrayed elected Prime Minister Tony Abbott. "This is global government and Soros, Gates, Zuckerberg, Ma and all the world's billionaires are running it. This all magically happened right, there was no planning."

"What they are going to do is channel all that climate change money into private 'zero carbon' energy entities run by the very people urging investment in renewable energy and climate change. Set up a front like 'MISSION INNOVATION,' have some side entities to process our money and Gates, Soros & Co win. Saudi's are running out of oil and Soros wants Russian energy power curtailed even if it means forcing countries to rely on ineffective power supply like solar and wind. Kill the coal and gas industry and goodbye competition, too bad if we don't have enough energy to make base load."

Declassified US Government Report prepared a Week after Fukushima: '100% of Total Spent Fuel was released to the Atmosphere from Unit 4'

December 10, 2015 — Now declassified, a report written by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission on March 18, 2011—one week after the tidal wave hit Fukushima—states:

The source term provided to NARAC was: (1) 25% of the total fuel in unit 2 released to the atmosphere, (2) 50% of the total spent fuel from unit 3 was released to the atmosphere, and (3) 100% of the total spent fuel was released to the atmosphere from unit 4 . . . NARAC is the US National Atmospheric Release Advisory Center, located at the University of California's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. NARAC "provides tools and services that map the probable spread of hazardous material accidentally or intentionally released into the atmosphere".

The fuel pools at Units 3 and 4 contained enormous amounts of radiation. For example, there was "more caesium in that [Unit 4] fuel pool than in all 800 nuclear bombs exploded above ground . . . Full story: washingtonsblog.com

Trump — ‘No More Muslims in America!'

December 11, 2015 — Harbinger commented: Before WW2 there was minimal immigration into the UK and Europe. The population sustained society. Then they turned up the heat. Feminism took the war against man. Women moved into the workplace, banks got twice the tax while upping housing costs and cost of living. The state got junior and the brain laundries went into overdrive. Women went for career instead of family. Government sold industry to China and India. Migration used to fund the pension. People bought into Thatcher's service industry bull. No one asked why . . .

Migration is condoned invasion and colonisation resulting in white genocide. Race legislation created to end indigenous fight back. Result is minority status for the indigenous. War is waged against Islam. People accept migration for the poor Muslims. No one complains until they find themselves jobless like the working class they shout down as xenophobes and racists. The charge is led by the luvees of the arts world and entertainment, the very people whose livelihood will never be at stake. Meanwhile, Africa and Asia's population grows and in Europe turning the majority indigenous into a minority. Eventually the people wake up. Too late, their society is no longer their own as Jewry planned. They are now prisoners in their own lands their ancestors shed mountains of blood to prevent. They ultimately deserve their demise; they're 100% responsible for allowing it. Full story: darkmoon.me

The Final Secrets of Pearl Harbor

Pearl Harbour
December 7, 2015 — This article offers great insight into American scheming to provoke Japan, but does not cover FDR's foreknowledge of the Pearl Harbor attacks, which is explored here: The Pearl Harbor Conspiracy.

I have just seen the disclosure of a crucial historical fact, hitherto kept profoundly secret by the rulers of the United States, which will force you, as it has forced me, drastically to revise our understanding of recent history. It is an article, entitled "Tigers of a Different Stripe," by Don McLean in Soldier of Fortune, January 1989.

I am convinced that it is not a canard. There is no indication that Yahweh's venomous race, the world's Masters of Deceit, contrived or inspired the article, which surely does not serve their purposes. Mr. McLean gives precise references to documents now in the archives in Washington, and even reproduces two of them photographically. It is likely that there are still in the United States, and conceivably even in universities, American historians who are more interested in establishing historical facts than in pleasing their paymasters; they will surely look for documents thus specifically and precisely designated and verify them. And finally and most cogently, the fact now disclosed fits so perfectly a gap in our present knowledge that it has the logical validity of a piece of a jigsaw puzzle put into its place.

I thought that I had disclosed in America's Decline, the ultimate secret of Pearl Harbor, the fact that the unspeakably foul energumenon called Franklin Roosevelt, in January 1941, almost a full year before the attack on Pearl Harbor, had incited the Japanese by informing "in strict confidence" the Portuguese Ambassador that his countrymen need not be concerned about their colonies in the Orient because the United States was going to attack Japan when her military forces were extended to the limit and most vulnerable, and would thus destroy Japan. The Ambassador naturally cabled the good news to his government in his most secret code, which the Japanese had compromised and were reading currently. And the success of the diseased monster's scheme was attested a few days later when the Portuguese message was quoted in Japanese diplomatic messages that American cryptanalysts were reading. (1) The Japanese were thus led to believe that the Americans would soon attack them, and that they should therefore gain the advantage of surprising the enemy that intended to surprise them . . .

Mainline Christian Organizations modifying Bible because it insults Muslims

February 9, 2015 — First, Wycliffe Bible Translators and SIL have produced stories of the prophets, an Arabic Bible that uses an Arabic equivalent of "Lord" instead of "Father" and "Messiah" instead of "Son." Second, Frontiers and SIL have produced Meaning of the Gospel of Christ, an Arabic translation which removes "Father" in reference to God and replaces it with "Allah," and removes or redefines "Son."

For example Matthew 28:19 reads, "Cleanse them by water in the name of Allah, his Messiah and his Holy Spirit" instead of "baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit". Full story: nowtheendbegins.com

Comment: The problem rests not with Muslims but with Christians (so-called) who are apostate and know it not as prophesied in Revelation 3:17-20 because they are following "the letter without the Spirit" and impersonating the Word for a day gone by instead of the present Truth" (II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7).

There is no trinity of gods: the meaning of the Great Commission is as Jesus said, "All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. [Jesus is the one Person of God manifest in virgin-born flesh to fulfil the part of Adam's KINSMAN Redeemer]. Therefore go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name [not Title] of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost which is LORD JESUS CHRIST" (Luke 24:47; Acts 2:38-39; Romans 4:5, etc). Obedience to this revelation will bring conversions among our Muslim friends.

The Time is at Hand

Revelation (1:1-11) 1:1-2, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, [the correct title to this Book], which God gave Him to show His servants [the angels to the seven Church Ages] things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel [William Branham (1909-1965)] to His servant John [in a series of visions from AD95–96 wherein John saw and heard Brother Branham minister the revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963]. John bore witness to the Word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw: [we know that John types Christ's end-time Bride because the Book was sealed "until the days of the Voice of the seventh angel" (Revelation 10:7). So wherever John refers to himself in the first person you should add your name after his "I" or "me"]".

Matthew 24:36, "No man, not even the angels of heaven knew [these mysteries], but the Father only." Revelation 5:3, "No man in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the Book or to look into it".

The Lord said, "Blessed is he who reads aloud the Words of this prophecy [for the benefit of those who cannot read], and blessed are they that hear and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand" [when the letter of the "shout" is personally revealed to your heart by Christ—"the Voice of the Archangel" enthroned therein] (Daniel 12:4-9; Revelation 10:1-7). Chapter one is set after the Church Ages, after Christ has taken the Book, opened the Seals, anointed William Branham for his Elijah ministry, revealed the mystery to His end-time Bride, fulfilled the millennium and the general resurrection.

"From John to the seven Churches which are in Asia [Minor]: Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come; [the self-existent One who will ever dwell with us and in us] and from the seven measures of His Spirit that anointed the Church Age messengers and are now back before His throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and loosed us from our sins in His own Blood, [the created Blood of God], and has made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen." Right now we reign over a spiritual kingdom of eternal Life and He is King of saints, but when Jesus takes His throne we will be kings upon earth with Him.

"Behold, He comes with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also who pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen." As EVERY eye shall see Him this cannot be the secret rapture or catching-away of the Church . . . this is the revelation story of Zechariah 12:9-14 in the second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 36:4-5).

Jesus declared, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, [the principle and the goal; the root and branch, the beginning and the ending of all things (Romans 11:36): Prophet, Priest, King, and Lord of Hosts] says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty [or All-ruler]." The greatest and most important of all revelations is the supreme Deity of Jesus Christ.

Papal Keys"I John, your brother and companion in the tribulation, and kingdom and endurance in Christ was imprisoned on Patmos Island for the Word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus." This agrees with Matthew 24:21-29, II Timothy 3:12, Revelation 7:14 and 20:4—that whereas God will chasten Israel under the Trumpet judgments from Pentecost to our translation, the great tribulation has been inflicted upon Christians by Jewry and Imperial Rome, and by the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church since their union at the First Nicaea Council in AD325. This unholy union took place in the Pergamean Church Age (AD312-606); Pergamos means "thoroughly married" (Revelation 2:13-17). From the close of the Gentile dispensation at the sounding of Israel's Seventh Trump, the manifestation of the Sixth Seal and Seventh Vial, the great tribulation will afflict 144,000 elect blood Israelites who will be martyred before the consummation as will all classes of the "saved" (Jeremiah 30:7; Matthew 24:13; Revelation 6:12; 13:15-18; 14:12-13).

"In the Spirit I was transported out of everyday consciousness to the Lord's Day [for two years, while in the flesh I was on Patmos Island in "man's day"]. "The Lord's Day" is when the days of man are over and the judgments fall. Then "the Voice that [spoke His Word in the Garden of Eden, and was heard in the excellent glory of Mount Transfiguration and] shook the earth at the giving of the Law, will shake not the earth only but also the heaven" (Hebrews 12:26-29; Matthew 24:29; Revelation 6:12-17). In the Spirit Christ's end-time Bride is in the Day of the Lord; in the flesh we are in man's day.

"And I heard behind me a great Voice like the clear commanding sound of a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: what you see write into a Book and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea".

John represents Christ's end-time Bride—so at the end of the Church Ages we were ALL accounted caught up in the Spirit into the Lord's Day [as we are all accounted crucified in Christ on Calvary (Revelation 4:1; 13:8; II Corinthians 5:14)]. His end-time Bride was fully redeemed 2,000 years ago for we are predestinated to receive the fullness of the Word by the revelation of the Seven Seals and do not require intercession for ignorance as did His PART-Word Bride when the Book was sealed (I Corinthians 13:10). What baptized the Pentecostal and Church Age saints into the Body will not work in this holy convocation; they enter the Presence via the grave. When the last of our Laodicean Brethren were born-again in 1963 the Bride of all Ages was redeemed and Redemption was over, even though many of us were not even conceived and some are still "in the world"; but when the last of our end-time group has recognized their day and its Message and entered their place in the Body the Trump of God will sound.

Brother Branham said, "Revelations is blocked off in three parts. The first . . . three chapters, pertains to the Church, the angels of the Church. [John was shown a preview of the Seven Church Ages in "man's day"]. And then she disappears right there in the third chapter, does not appear again until the nineteenth chapter; in the nineteenth chapter she returns. Between this time, God is dealing with the Jews [building roads, dams, schools, cities, industries and farms for Israelites to occupy when they return, just as Amalek built the towns and ploughed and sowed the fields for Israelites under Joshua to occupy] . . . from then on, it's between the coming of the great city of Jerusalem, and the sealing away of the people of Israel [not Jews], and so forth, at the end time" (Revelation Chapter Four Part I, p. 559:53). PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE.
  • Body of ChristRevelation 1:19, "the things which you have seen" behind you back in man's day deal with the Church. Revelation 1:12-16 signify Christ and His Church in the Day of the Lord judging the world at the Great White Throne; and Revelation 2 – 3 enlarge upon verse 11 and prophesy to the Seven Church Ages of PART Word. The Prophet said, "And all this from hereafter now [Revelation 4:1 to 19:7] . . . will take place on earth after the rapture of the Church. See, after the rapture. This is going back now to pick up Israel. After the Church Age, after the Ages of the Church . . . The Church never appears again until Revelation the nineteenth chapter when she returns with Her Bridegroom. Praise God for the wedding" (Revelation Chapter Four, Part I, p. 561:60. i.e. after the opening of the Seven Seals).
  • "The things which are" NOW, since the opening of the Seals or after the rapture of the Church. Revelation 5 is the Breach between the Church Ages and the Seals where the non-elect including the foolish virgin in the circle of this Message and all whose names are not written in the Lamb's Book of Life are NOW, many are souls imprisoned NOW (I Peter 3:18-20). Christ's end-time Bride is in the holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal Feast, in the Capstone.
  • "The things that will be hereafter" the end of Laodicea and the opening of the SealsRevelation 6:1 – 19:21 reveals how Jesus redeemed the saints under the Seven Seals, Seven Trumpets, Seven Vials, Three Woes, three unclean spirits like frogs, the woman in the sun, and the casting out of the Red Dragon; and how He will take us to the millennium, judge the world then restore us to New Jerusalem in the new heavens and new earth.
Thanks be to God for grace through faith by the Message of His Prophet William Branham. We are new-born by a threefold PROCESS of justification, sanctification and the baptism with the Holy Spirit that bring us into oneness with the Word God is manifesting for this our day (II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7): three stages of spiritual growth unto the adoption of Sons. The 'rapture' of Christ's end-time Bride: "we who are alive and remain until the Church Age saints resurrect will change in the atoms" in the threefold PROCESS of "a shout, the Voice of Christ the Archangel, and the Trump of God" that bring us to "the [full] adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body" (Romans 8:23).

Now "the Voice of the seventh angel" was Jesus Christ speaking through William Branham, "a prophet as thoroughly vindicated, or even more thoroughly vindicated than was any prophet in all the ages from Enoch to this day, because this man will of necessity have the capstone prophetic ministry, and God will show him forth. He won't need to speak for himself; God will speak for him by the Voice of the sign. Amen" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 328:3; Revelation 10:7). God was veiled behind that sinner saved by grace, revealing Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever by the Messianic sign of Hebrews 4:12 that was THUS SAITH THE LORD as it was in the days of His flesh, and "in the days of Lot" (Hebrews 13:8; Luke 17:28-30; Genesis 18-19).

The "Shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16 is the "midnight cry" of Brother Branham's Message (Matthew 25:6)—"Behold the Bridegroom; come out to meet Him"—introducing Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming according to his public commission by an audible Voice under the Pillar of Fire like a star over the Ohio River on June 16, 1933. Our initial revelation of his Message—small and immature—called us as already justified and sanctified OUT from Rome and her once Protestant daughters (Revelation 18:4) to new birth as members of Christ's end-time Bride, and because we were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary we were straight away in the rapture "for the time is at hand" and the rapture is a REVELATION.

Like Israel at Christ's first Coming, the denominations have rejected their Elijah and are looking for their theology to manifest instead of the promise of God's revealed Word! They do not understand that His second or 'parousia' Coming in 1963 was unseen "as a thief" (Matthew 24:21-28; Revelation 10:1-7; 16:15). He has been present with us since the PROCESS called the 'rapture' began fifty-two years ago.

Next is "the Voice of Christ the Archangel" enthroned in our heart whispering His secrets to His beloved end-time Bride to bring her to maturity in the unity of faith "built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets" by placing the Message from Genesis to Revelation so that we are one with our Husband possessing THUS SAITH THE LORD for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the Head, even Christ: from whom the whole Body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is supplied, when each part is working properly, makes Bodily growth and upbuilds itself in love" (Ephesians 4:13-16).

As "the saints will judge the earth" (I Corinthians 6:2; II Thessalonians 1:2-12) one word or action to harm us will bring recompense on the Day of Judgment.

The rapture is a revelation. That still small Voice is only heard, recognized and acted upon by Christ's Bride, "giving her the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Himself, granting her eyes of the heart, so that she may know what is the hope to which she is called, and what is the wealth of His glorious inheritance in the saints. And what is the immeasurable greatness of His power in us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power. [The resurrection power] which He wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and made Him sit at His right hand in heavenly places . . ." (Ephesians 1:17-20). Jesus is our type, He said: "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." Knowing who He is, was and is to come, His own faith raised Him from the dead.

Gentile dispensationJustification, sanctification and the baptism with the Holy Ghost are three successive stages of revelation that brought our souls to renewal as "Spirit babes." In this holy convocation the Shout, brings Spiritual rebirth while the Voice brings us to maturity in the unity of the faith for the new wave offering or manifestation of the Sons of God and our full adoption or bodily renewal and glorification under the Seventh Trump for all whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish between good and evil. Thus by three successive stages of revelation we take dominion over the sensual temporal world and speak in the certainty of our identity in Christ and our position in the Body.

Justification, sanctification and the baptism with the Holy Spirit, like the Shout, Voice and Trump, are all the Voice of God in Christ in us as we grow up into Him who is our Head, resting in confidence with certainty. The Voice of the trumpet in Revelation 1:10 and 4:1 is the Archangel Christ as it was on Mount Sinai in Exodus 19:16 (Revelation, Chapter 4, Part I, p. 557:151-152; Part III, p. 665:106).

Every Word of God is the certain sound of a trumpet (I Corinthians 14:8). In tandem with the Seven Thunders that revealed Messages of grace to the Church Age saints were Seven Trumpets that pronounced judgment on those Israelites that did not receive the Gospel Trumpet for their day calling "whomsoever will" of Adam's race to "bow the knee" to our Joseph in advance of His second Coming, with "the blessing of Abraham." The Voice of the Trumpet in Revelation 1:10-12 and 4:1 is the Voice of Revelation 18:4 that echoes the "Shout" of the Prophet's Message in I Thessalonians 4:16 and Revelation 14:9 crying "come out of Babylon and be filled with the Spirit," which is the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6 (Revelation Chapter Four Part I, p. 577:150-160; Part III, p. 665:106).

The rapture is a revelation, and although we did not know it at the time and many of us were not even born, ALL of the New Testament saints were accounted raptured when Laodicea ended. These things were not revealed to Jesus until after His assumption. Matthew 24:36, "Of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but the Father only".

Revelation 4:1-2 was foreshadowed by the Mount Transfiguration event of Matthew 16:28 – 17:8. Three is a witness; there typing the 144,000 elect Israelites, Peter, James and John saw Moses who died and was resurrected, a type of the resurrected PART-Word Bride from Pentecost to Laodicea; and with him Elijah, who was translated without death, a type of Christ's end-time Bride. We will all be taken Home, and in the second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week the 144,000 elect Israelites will belatedly recognize Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming to Israel (Zechariah 14:4-5; Acts 1:9-11; Revelation 1:7). Let us read Matthew 16:25-26, "Whoever will save his life shall lose it: and whoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it. What advantage will a man have if he acquires the whole world but forfeits his own soul in the bargain, for he will lose his life unless he follows Christ? Whoever has bartered his soul for the world has gained only an illusionary, demonic likeness of the world, not the world itself." There is no counter price by which the transaction can be reversed. Jesus showed that the desire and endeavour of gaining the world was the root of the carnal Messianic hopes of Jewry then, as it is today.

Jesus next states emphatically that the negative damage will be followed by positive punishment (Matthew 16:27-28). "For it shall come to pass that the Son of man will come in the glory of His Father [His inheritance and ours (Romans 8:16-18; John 17:24)] with His angels [you and me]; then [at the great white throne] He will reward every [non-elect] man according to His works [the total outward manifestation of his inner life as a believer or unbeliever, emphasizing "Whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it"]. There are some standing here, which shall not taste [the bitter cup] of death, till they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom".

Here Jesus is addressing the Twelve (and the crowd referred to in Mark 8:34 – 9:10). These words have the same import as His rebuff to Peter in John 21:20-23, "Turning about, Peter saw John, who had leaned on Jesus' side at supper, and asked, Lord, who is the one that will betray you? And noticing John he asked, What about this man? Jesus replied, If I want him to tarry till I come, what is that to you? Follow Me. This saying went out among the brethren that that disciple should not die; however Jesus did not say, He will not die; but, if I want him to remain till I come, what is that to you?"

Brother Branham said, "Being that they said that, He just chose John, and took him up, and showed him the whole thing before he even died, just like he lived the whole thing through: showed him what it would be [as He has shown us through the revelation of the Seven Seals] . . . Oh, see, picked him right up. Why, it's here, the fourth chapter and the second verse proves it. "He showed him things which was, which is, and what shall come." [PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE]. He showed him the Church Age, the coming of the Jews Israelites, the pouring out of the plagues, the rapture, the coming again, and the millennium, and the eternal home of His saved; just as though he lived right down through the whole thing, he saw it all happen. See? He just took him up and showed him the film that He's turning, let him see the whole thing rehearsed. Oh, my."

"Caught up, fulfilled His promise in Revelation 4:2. Before his death he was caught up in the Spirit and seen things just as though he had lived [typing Christ's end-time Bride now, who will also be caught up physically before death]. He seen it all rehearsed. Thus he saw in a vision exactly what would've took place and what did take place on the earth from that time until the Coming of the Lord Jesus: Show it to him in a vision" (Revelation, Chapter Four, Part I, p. 576:146-147).

And in the vision the disciples saw Moses representing the resurrected glorified Church Age saints and with the translated end-time Bride, in fulfilment of His promise to the three witnesses, Peter, James and John—the "some standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom".

"The Trump of God" is Israel's Seventh or Great Trump that will signal the end of the Gentile dispensation. Simultaneously the Sixth Seal will manifest an unprecedented convulsion of nature. "There will be a great earthquake, and the sun shall become black as sackcloth of hair, and the full moon will become as blood, and the stars of heaven will fall to earth"  (Revelation 6:12-13). "And upon the earth distress of nations [igniting the 'hot stage' of the present World War III], with perplexity on account of the sea and the waves roaring [with tidal waves following the sinking of Los Angeles and a 1,500 x 300-400 mile segment of earth's crust]. Men's hearts failing them for fear of those things which are coming on earth [global depression and nuclear war]" (Luke 21:25-26). By this sign Christ's end-time Bride will know that after three days "the dead in Christ will begin to rise in the order in which they fell asleep" (I Corinthians 15:23). Then we will become a hunted and persecuted little group manifesting that we are the Sons of God, exercising the 'third pull' for our necessities which will raise our faith for translation grace. And "when the Day of Pentecost has full come again," we will recognize one of the resurrected glorified saints and this recognition will supercharge faith enabling us to change in the atoms.

For Christ's end-time Bride the Trumpet will be the certain sound of God's Voice manifesting prophecy made plain by the Voice of the Archangel that brought us to maturity under preeminence so that what we say He will do. I Thessalonians 4:16-17, "the Trumpet of God shall sound: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." Brother Branham explained, "God poured Himself into Christ. Correct. Christ poured Himself into the Church; therefore . . . "At that day you will know that I am in the Father, and you are in Me and I am in you." At that day you will know it, for the whole thing is one plan of redemption coming down, that God coming back to live in, and dwell with, and commune to His people as He did at the beginning. Now then, as soon as He gets His Church in speaking conditions, gets His church to a place that He can flow Himself through, and love, and persuade, and fellowship, then there'll come a Eden. He'll take His church back to where it left Him at, back to an Eden again, there where it fell. Now, that's where it made its first start of fall; there's where it'll be taken right back with every clean slate of redemption, bringing them straight back to that place again" (What the Holy Ghost was Given For, p. 42:32).

Revelation 1:12-15, "I turned about to see the Voice that was speaking with me in verse 10 [for the sound of the Word is a Gospel trumpet and Jesus is the W_O_R_D (John 1:1-3), so the Person and the Voice is one and the same]. And having turned about, I saw seven golden lampstands [signifying the saints drawn out of all seven Church Ages]; and in the midst of the seven lampstands one like unto the Son of man clothed with a garment reaching down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with a golden girdle [as Judge]. As the Beginner or Author of this new creation of God He is ever in the midst of His Church (John 14:17-18; I Corinthians 11:7; Ephesians 5:25-27; Revelation 3:14) . . . and His Voice as the sound of many waters" (Revelation 17:15). It is the white throne judgment; these are the voices of the multitudes of witnesses, who have testified to Christ and preached His Good News by the Holy Spirit through the ages. It will be the voice of every saint witnessing in condemnation against the sinner who would not take warning. Each of us was the Voice of Christ in his day (John 17:20). We see Him not as Mediator, Prophet or King but as the coming Judge of the nations. "For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son . . . and before Him are gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats" (John 5:22; Matthew 25:32). Daniel saw the same vision six hundred and fifty years before John:

Daniel 7:9-28, "I watched until the thrones were placed for the twenty four elders." In his spiritual dreams Daniel saw "the times of the Gentiles" from the Babylonian Empire in 555BC to the Medo-Persian and Greek Empires and the Imperial and Papal Roman Empire; the coming of the Stone of Daniel 2:44, the millennium, and from the general resurrection to the White Throne Judgment.

In his vision of 555BC Daniel saw Jesus, the Ancient of Days, but as the twelve New Testament elders were not chosen the twenty-four thrones were empty. In AD95-96 John saw visions of the Papal Roman Empire in 1963 when Laodicea ended in apostasy and Christ claimed the Book of Redemption and opened the Seven Seals (Revelation 4-5). Throughout the Book of Revelation John stood before Jesus and the twenty-four elders whom he heard and saw in Revelation 4:4, 10; 5:5-14; 7:11, 13; 11:16; 14:3; 19:4 and 20:4-11 for redemption was over. In the Spirit John was in the Lord's Day so that when he saw our Lord Jesus descend upon Mount Sunset with the "little Book open in His hand" and heard Brother Branham expound the Seven Seals it was largely a retrospect of what has been that he signified with Old Testament symbols, because the twenty-four elders were all seated and he represented Christ's end-time Bride.

John would have recognized himself among the elders as Brother Branham recognized himself as the "very notable . . . angel to my left, would really be the last or seventh angel" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 112:2; 578:1-2).

This emphasizes the finality of the dispensation change when Christ, having fulfilled his office as Son of God and Mediator, took the Office Son of Man and Judge. At this point Brother Branham commanded His end-time Bride, "Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this Book [his Message]: for the time is at hand [to reveal Christ as Son of man and Judge—the fullness of the Word revealed by the mystery of the Seven Thunders] (Revelation 10:1-7; 19:9; John 5:27). He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still" (Revelation 22:10-11).

Brother Branham said, "I Corinthians 13 says this: "When that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away with." So all these little things of jumping up-and-down like a kid, trying to talk in tongues, and all these other things; when that which is perfect . . . And we do have today, by God's help, the perfect interpretation of the Word with divine vindication. Then that which is in part is done away with. "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child; but when I become a man, I put away childish things" (COD, p. 1,005:57). With the fullness of the Word and THUS SAITH THE LORD we have no Mediator for ignorance and no excuse for ignorance.

If you have followed the news items in our weekly Church Newsletters along with the main articles you will see we are now approaching the end of grace, and the three unclean spirits like frogs that came out of the Judaeo-Roman World Empire have gone forth to the kings of the earth and of whole world to gather them to Armageddon to make war against Christ and the resurrected glorified saints (Revelation 16:13-16; 19:19).
Image of Nebuchadnezzar's dream
Daniel 2:40-45, "The fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: for as iron breaks in pieces and shatters all things, it shall break in pieces and crush all peoples. And as you saw the feet and toes partly of potters' clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; some parts of it will be as strong and firm as iron, and some as weak and brittle as clay. As you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall form misalliances [between "the sons of God and the daughters of men"—the curse of multiculturalism—"as it was in the days of Noah"  (Genesis 6:1-4; Matthew 24:37)]: but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay. And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people. It shall break in pieces and completely destroy all these kingdoms and it shall stand for ever. And just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold of the image, so the great God has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what shall take place hereafter. The dream is certain, and the interpretation sure".

From 603BC to the present, history has vindicated Nebuchadnezzar's prophetic dream and the interpretation God revealed through His prophet Daniel. And I believe God will vindicate Joe Brandt's spiritual dreams which match Brother Branham's prophecies. He said: Khruschev shoe UN"Let me give you a little something on the iron and clay. Remember when Khrushchev beat his shoe on the desk at the UN? Well, there were five eastern nations there and five western. Khrushchev spoke for the East, and Eisenhower for the West. In Russian, Khrushchev is clay and Eisenhower means iron. The two main leaders of the world [both Jews], the two big toes of the feet of iron and clay, were side by side. We are in the end of it all" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 237:1-2; Daniel 2:40-45). According to Aline Fenwick of Wollstonecroft, Sydney, working for the UN, British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was making a speech at the UN in New York when Soviet leader Khrushchev took off his shoe and banged it to on the desk. "We will bury you..."

"We do not have to invade the United States; we will destroy you from within." [And they have—Laodicea means Judaeo-Communism! British Prime Minister Harold] Macmillan merely waved his hand and said, "Later, my man, later".

The Prophet said, "There's your iron and clay [that] will not mix. And he pulled off his shoe and beat the stand with it and everything else. It won't mix. But it's in the days of these empires [or kingdoms—the USA and Russia] that the Stone, that was hewed out of the mountain without hands, smote the image in the feet" (Seventy Weeks of Daniel, p. 115:126). The Stone will not smite the feet of the image till the second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week; nonetheless these two Jewish-ruled "Empires" will soon be at war, so the end of the Gentile dispensation is at hand.

The Ten Nation Committee on Disarmament (TNCD) was designed to address the issue of nuclear disarmament during the Cold War. Created by the combination of a United Nations resolution and an agreement between the Big Four powers, the TNCD began work in March 1960. It remained intact from March to June 1960.

The committee was based on equal representation and included five Warsaw Pact nations and five NATO nations which were the "ten toes." Original members of TNCD: (Western Bloc)—Canada, France, Great Britain, Italy, United States. (Eastern Bloc)—Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, Soviet Union. On June 28, 1960 the committee adjourned indefinitely in the aftermath of the failure at the Paris Summit and the U-2 spy plane incident. The 1960 U-2 incident happened during the Cold War on 1 May 1960, during the presidency of [Jew] Dwight D. Eisenhower and the premiership of [Jew] Nikita Khrushchev (Solomon Perlmutter) when a United States U-2 spy plane was shot down in Soviet airspace. The aircraft, flown by CIA pilot Francis Gary Powers, was performing aerial reconnaissance when it was hit by a surface-to-air missile and crashed in Sverdlovsk.

Initially the United States government tried to cover up the plane's purpose and mission [Eisenhower lied], but was forced to admit its military nature when the Soviet government came forward with the U-2's intact remains and captured pilot as well as photos of military bases in Russia taken by the aircraft. Coming roughly two weeks before the scheduled opening of an East–West summit in Paris, the incident was a great embarrassment to the United States and prompted a marked deterioration in its relations with the Soviet Union. Powers was convicted of espionage and sentenced to three years of imprisonment plus seven years of hard labour but would be released two years later on 10 February 1962 during a prisoner exchange for [Jewish] Soviet officer Rudolf Abel [William August Fisher].

Hence Nikita Khrushchev's shoe-banging incident which allegedly occurred at some point in autumn 1960 (on September 23 or 29, or October 12 or 13) during the 902nd Plenary Meeting of the UN General Assembly held at the United Nations in New York (Daniel 2:33-34, 41-43).

[The United States is still lying to Russia by denying its involvement in the bloody coup in Ukraine, the secession of Crimea, Ukraine's downing of MH17, MH370 in the Indian Ocean, Russia's Metrojet over Egypt and her Sukhoi Su-24 fighter bomber over Syria. The "war on Terror' has been one BIG LIE by the US, NATO and allies since the First Gulf War and the invasion of Yugoslavia, and still the US lies to Russia. Indeed Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, Recep Erdogan, Bibi Netanyahu and Petro Poroshenko have been crowned "Liars of the Year"].

Returning to Daniel 7:9-10a, b and "the judgment of the nations". . . (Matthew 25:32; Daniel 2:44-45; "That's all the Gentile kingdoms over," Patmos Vision, p. 105:182; The Ten Virgins, p. 463:195). "And I watched until the thrones were placed [for the twelve patriarchs and twelve apostles], and the Ancient of days [Jesus Messiah] took His seat, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head was like pure white wool: His throne was like the fiery flame [of the Shekinah], and its wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream came forth from His Presence: a thousand thousands [the Bride of all Ages] ministered unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him" [non-elect who did not qualify for the first resurrection will come up in the second resurrection, appeal and be granted into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment].

John 5:28-29, "Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming, in the which ALL that are in the graves shall hear His Voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of Life, and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." This is the second resurrection for "the saints will judge the world . . . according to their works" (Revelation 20:11-15).

Now we all know that John 5:28-29 is NOT THE RAPTURE for only the dead in Christ will arise from the graves at that time while the living Bride is still on the earth (I Thessalonians 4:16-17). But it says in John 5:28-29 that ALL are going to come forth from the grave. This is the very same resurrection that is spoken of in Revelation 20:11-15 wherein THE DEAD were brought before the Lord and judged according to their works, and all whose names were not in the Book of Life were then cast into the lake of Fire (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 53:1-4; 276:1; 285:1; COD, p. 1,122:279-281. The Revelation of the Seven Seals p. 234:5-235:2 and Revelation 6:11 confirm not only is the Bride in this vision, but after Christ claims and opens the Book of Life the Fifth Seal Israelite martyrs under the altar of sacrifice become conscious that they have a Kinsman Redeemer and that they qualify to appeal). Daniel 7:10, "The judgment was set, and the books [of sinners—"goats" who are not and were never in the Book of Life] were opened. Then I watched until the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given unto the burning fire because of papal arrogance (Revelation 19:20; 20:10). As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and time. I saw in the night visions, I saw one like the Son of man come with the clouds of heaven, and He came to the Ancient of days, and was presented before Him. And to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom that all peoples, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom one that will not be destroyed".

The Church Ages of PART-Word with Christ's Mediation for ignorance of the fullness ended in 1963 and the Throne of Mercy became the Throne of Judgment. Revelation 4:1-2, "After the end of the Laodicean Church Age I [John who types Christ's end-time Bride throughout the Book of Revelation] saw that heaven's Door remained open: and the first Voice which I heard like a trumpet [in Revelation 1:10, 12] told me, Come up hither, and I will show you things which must be after the Church Ages. And immediately I was in the Spirit: and saw a throne set in heaven, and one sat on the throne." Christ had finished His Work of intercession and the seven portions of the Spirit have returned before the Throne so that those who do not enter that Door by the revelation of Brother Branham's Message "will be filthy still . . ."

Body of ChristSince the PART-Word Body of the Church was made up and sealed, the world has been caught in the breach of Revelation 5 between PART-Word and the fullness at His second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming revealed by the Seven Seals which the world church system has rejected just as the Israelites rejected His first or (Gk.) 'erchomai' Coming (Romans 11:32): souls imprisoned now. In this holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal Feast the one way across the chasm into Christ the Capstone is by revelation of what the Voices of the Seven Thunders uttered in Revelation 10:1-4, which is the mystery of the unwritten Seventh Seal of Revelation 8:1 unfolding the revelation of the six written Seals, the Message of William Branham the seventh angel of Revelation 10:7.

The Church Age saints enter the Presence via the grave while the rest of mankind will remain as they are unless they are born-again by the revelation of William Branham's Message before the end of the Gentile dispensation. The Mercy Seat in heaven is now a Judgment Seat without mercy: the seven portions of the Spirit are back before the Throne, and Christ is no longer a Mediator. But we are the Blood of Christ by the baptism with the Holy Ghost for "the Life is in the blood," therefore earth is the Mercy Seat and our presence restrains Satan from revealing himself in "that man of sin, the son of perdition" until the Holy Ghost departs in our translation (Galatians 3:26-29; II Thessalonians 2:6-7).

In Revelation 22:9-11, "Brother Branham told John, I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this Book: worship God. And he told me, Seal not the revelation of the prophecy of this Book [his Message]: for the time is at hand. He who is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he who is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still." The rejected Christ stands outside the doors of denominations which "have crucified to themselves the Son of God afresh" (Revelation 3:20; Hebrews 6:1-8).

Christ's end-time Bride is in the wilderness, unrecognized as the Church, and is not seen again until she is recognized by the 144,000 in their revelation of Christ's 'parousia' to Israel, and our return with Him in Revelation 19. From Revelation 6 – 19 Christ is preparing the modern nation state of Israel in the Land of the Covenant to which the Israelites will return in the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week for their redemption in the second half of the week.

As the Prophet expounded Ephesians 4:30, he said "do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God until the day that the Book of Redemption has been revealed, and the Redeemer comes to claim His possession" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 78:4). This took place on about March 8, 1963 when Christ descended upon Mount Sunset with the Title Deed to all He has redeemed. Redemption is over and we are either IN the Lamb's Book of Life and elect, or we are not elect. We have the assurance of election when we receive the revelation of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10 that Brother Branham delivered from March 17 to 24, 1963: which is Christ calling our name from the Lamb's Book of Life.

This was Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming to claim His Bride by the Shout, Voice and Trumpet of I Thessalonians 4:14-17. NOW the time is at hand in which the revelation of Christ is sealing he who is just, holy and righteous IN to the Body of His end-time Bride, and he who is unjust, unholy and unrighteous OUT of the Body. nl901.htm

Rightly Dividing the Word

Android Phone

    Bible Believers' Newsletter 900

"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 is a privilege to fellowship with you in God's Word.

According to the 1871 military blueprint, World War III was to be artificially manipulated by bringing political Zionism into controlled conflict with political Islam, and the current news bears this out. Prominent among the political Zionists are the stateless Jew Barack Obama, English Jew David Cameron, German Jew Angela Merkel, French Jew François Hollande, Turkish Donmeh Jews Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Saudi King Salman, the Australian Jew Malcolm 'Moishe' Turnbull, New Zealand Jew John Keys, Israeli Jew Benjamin Netanyahu, Ukrainian Jew Petro Poroshenko, and many others not one of whom is a Semitic Israelite. There is a dearth of prominent political Islamists as the Islamists are predominantly irreligious mercenaries, murderous soldiers of fortune deployed by the same 'hidden hand' that pulls the strings of the political Zionists and is a construct of the CIA deployed to destabilize and conquer oil rich Muslim nations.

Our main article this week, "Rightly Dividing the Word," bears careful study as it reveals the lateness of the hour. One day the foolish virgin will declare, "I thought there was supposed to be a rapture." Not realizing it has been in process for fifty two years as I speak.

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.

Is Britain being 'prepared' for a World War?

December 7, 2015 — Without being threatened by an invading force of any type, the British government, along with its Western counterparts, particularly America and France are imposing warrantless mass surveillance, deploying the illegal strategies of kidnappings and rendition, complicity in torture and for the first time since the World War, extra-judicial murder of its own citizens. We have also recently witnessed the beginnings of identification of war critics with David Cameron's recent and extreme 'terrorist sympathisers' accusations in parliament.

Today, you can be arrested without charge and held by police for 28 days in a cell. This capability by government was not legally available for any more than 24 hours until recent years . . . Never in the UK have we had secret courts. Today we do . . . Agent provocateurs are routinely deployed by the authorities to cause trouble at protest meetings to generate a violent reaction that causes unjustified arrests . . . Turkey has just proved that a global conflict is but one act of stupidity away from catastrophe. Iraq has now asked Russia to expel Turkey's troops and war planes from its land. Israel has just started bombing Syria; even Germany wants to send its special forces ground troops. Full story: truepublica.org.uk

Comment: In Poland deputy defense minister Tomasz Szatkowski told local media . . . the ministry was discussing whether to ask for access to NATO's "nuclear sharing" program, which allows non-nuclear states to borrow the arms from the US . . . the Polish government and President Andrzej Duda were "completely controlled by some political circles in the United States . . . If the Republicans win, then Poland might become one of the most aggressive and hawkish countries in Europe" (sputniknews.com).

Week Nine of the Russian Intervention in Syria: The Empire Strikes Back

December 5, 2015 — The Empire correctly identified the weakness of the Russian force in Syria; and it decided to use Turkey to provide itself an element of plausible deniability. This attack is probably only the first step of a much larger campaign to "push back" Russia from the Turkish border. The next step, apparently, includes the dispatching of western forces into Syria, initially only as 'advisors', but eventually as Special Forces and forward air controllers . . .

Economic sanctions: Russia has declared a number of sanctions against Turkey, including the freezing of the Turkish Stream project.

Political sanctions: here Russia will use one of her most terrifying weapons: the truth. The Russian military presented a devastating series of photos and videos shot by Russian air and space assets proving that Turkey does, indeed, purchase oil from Daesh . . .

US gives ISIS 45 Minute Warning before Bombs & 'runs out of Ammo'

ISIA al Qaeda flag
December 2, 2015 — Since the Russians began dropping real bombs on real ISIS targets in Syria, the United States and NATO have been forced to engage a two-sided propaganda campaign that swears opposition to ISIS while simultaneously doing everything it can to facilitate and protect ISIS forces on the ground. It has also found itself in the bizarre position of trying to facilitate the death squad army while, at the same time, attempting to play catch-up to the Russians in at least the appearance of bombing ISIS . . .

Even with the new attempt to be seen as truly aimed at fighting ISIS in the eyes of the gullible American public, the US has been forced to use videos and photographs from Russian bombings to purvey across the mainstream media due to the fact that American strikes on ISIS oil trucks are so rare. The pathetic propaganda fail by the United States military now stands as yet one more example of how the United States is not at all interested in defeating ISIS but instead on defeating Assad, Iran, and the Russians.

No Brake and No Disclosure on Media Owners' Interests

December 5, 2015 — The Times today carries an article on ISIS' oil interests, Syria and Turkey. Nowhere does it inform its readers that the owner of the newspaper, Rupert Murdoch, has a vested interest in this subject through his role and shares in Genie Energy, an Israeli company granted oil rights in Syria by the Israeli government. Dick Cheney and Lord Rothschild are also shareholders . . . It is a conspiracy.

That Israel should grant oil rights within Syria is of course a striking example of contempt for international law, but then that is the basis on which Israel normally operates. Of course Genie's share value will be substantially boosted by the installation of a neo-con puppet regime in Damascus which can be bought to underwrite the oil concession granted by Israel . . . It is a wonderful irony that there is a register of the interests of the board members of the Independent Press Standards Organisation, but no register of the interests of media proprietors . . .

Dialogue with everyone & fighting Terrorism everywhere: President Assad

President Assad
December 6, 2015 — H.E. President Bashar Al-Assad gave an interview to The Sunday Times in which he said Britain and France have neither the will nor the vision on how to defeat terrorism and their airstrikes against ISIS will yield no results, but will rather be illegal and harmful in that they will help in spreading terrorism like a cancer . . . Britain and France were the spearheads in supporting the terrorists in Syria . . . It is legal only when the participation is in cooperation with the legitimate government in Syria. So, I would say they don't have the will and they don't have the vision on how to defeat terrorism . . . This kind of operation is like cutting the cancer that will make it spread in the body faster . . .

If I am to claim responsibility, do I also claim responsibility for asking the Qataris to pay the terrorists money? Or for the Saudis to fund their activities? Or for western governments allowing their terrorists to come to Syria? Do I claim responsibility for asking western governments to offer a political umbrella to those terrorists and label them as moderates? Or for the western embargos on the Syrian people? . . .

Comment: The US bombing of a Syrian military base in Ayyash, Syria, and the Turkish invasion of northern Iraq . . . is part of a larger plan to Balkanize the Middle East, to strengthen Washington's grip on dwindling resources, to draw Russia into a costly and protracted war, and to ensure that ME oil remains denominated in US dollars . . . counterpunch.org

Questions for President Obama re. President Al Assad & ISIS

Obama
December 6, 2015 — Which is most important to you—destroying ISIS, overthrowing Syrian president Assad, or scoring points against Russia? Do you think that if you pointed out to the American people that Assad has done much more to aid and rescue Christians in the Middle East conflicts than any other area leader that this would lessen the hostility the United States public and [Jewish-controlled] media feel toward him? . . .

Why does the United States maintain crippling financial sanctions and a ban on military aid to Syria, Cuba, Iran and other countries but not to Saudi Arabia? . . . What does Saudi Arabia have to do to lose its strong American support? . . . What bothers you more: The Saudi bombing of the people of Yemen or the [alien] Syrian ['rebels'] bombing of the people of Syria? Does the fact that ISIS never attacks Israel raise any question in your mind? . . . Full story: williamblum.org

China's Yuan will be the Third Most Powerful Currency in the IMF Basket

December 8, 2015 — In spite of the fierce opposition of the US treasury Department, on November 30 the IMF finally approved the inclusion of the yuan in the Special Drawing Rights, the currency basket created in 1969 to complement the official reserves of the members of the multilateral organization. With this the Chinese currency will become, next October 1 (2016), part of the integrating fifth of the IMF basket. The financial influence of China on a world scale will continue to grow at high velocity: the weight of the yuan in the Special Drawing Rights will be greater in comparison with the Japanese yen and the pound sterling.

Holocaust Handbooks & Movies: the BIG LIE Exposed

Taboo-Breaking Books and Documentaries presented by The Barnes Review.

"Enlightenment is man's leaving his self-caused immaturity. Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another. Such immaturity is self-caused, if it is not caused by lack of intelligence, but by lack of determination and courage to use one's intelligence without being guided by another. Sapere Aude! [dare to know]. Have the courage to use your own intelligence is therefore the motto of the enlightenment" Immanuel Kant (1784).

This website is about enlightenment, maturity, and courage:

It aims at enlightening all its visitors about one of the most influential issues of modern history: The alleged deliberate mass murder of six million Jews by Nazi Germany mainly by means of gas chambers during World War Two.
  1. It requires that the visitor be mature, that is: that he or she is capable of using their own intelligence without the guidance of another.
  2. And finally, it requires courage to open the mind to well-founded, rational, yet at once truly mind-blowing and, some would say, sacrilegious thoughts.
  3. Are you ready for your own dose of enlightenment? Watch, listen and read, and find out for yourself!

An Historical Critique of Islam's Beginnings

Mason Washington
September 12, 2013 — Jay Smith, an evangelist, apologist and missionary to Muslims believes that although both Islam and Christianity include radicals, moderates, and liberals, it is radical Muslims who commit violence as they take the Qur'an seriously; while radical Christians who also take the Bible seriously serve others in love. Radical Muslims model their lives on Muhammad; while radical Christians model their lives on Jesus Christ. If Muslims applied the same standard to their own beliefs as they do to the Bible they would see they have not a leg to stand on. The Koran is contrived; none of the manuscripts came into existence before the 8th century, which means that Mohammed had nothing to do with the Koran. There are, by the way fifteen different Korans. Abdul Malek created an identity for Arabs: Mohammed. Romans 13:11, "Now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed". Full story: youtube.com

Comment: This Youtube presentation shows the Talmud is the basis of the Koran which duplicates its contemptible aims. Every point on which this presenter condemns the Koran originated in the Babylonian Talmud; for instance Sanhedrin 57a, Baba Kamma 113a and Moed Kattan 17a, as borne out in The Talmud Unmasked, Truth about the Talmud. The second presenter has not learned the true origin and history of Mohammed and the Koran but is repeating hearsay; the caravan routes went through Petra in Jordan, not Mecca in Arabia.

What's so funny about Free Market Capitalism? Unscriptural Evil of Equality

November 11, 2015 — In his 1972 campaign speech, opposition leader Gough Whitlam promised that if elected prime minister he would lead a new drive for equality and "fair and equal shares in the wealth and opportunities." Yet more than four decades later and, despite governments of all persuasions broadly following Whitlam's lead, instead of the wealth gap shrinking, it has widened to the point that Australia is above the OECD average when inequality has worsened universally.

German philosopher Georg Hegel was surely right when he said: "We learn from history that we don't learn from history." How else to explain the uncritical pursuit of policies that for 43 years have failed in their good intentions? Yet, just one month into office, even after this epic fail, Malcolm Turnbull is demonstrating his "equality" credentials by talking "fairness" and going soft on middle-class welfare.

George Orwell tells us: "The thing that attracts ordinary men to socialism, and makes them willing to risk their skins for it, is the idea of equality; to the vast majority of people socialism means a classless society or, it means nothing at all."

Well, we've seen the socialist promised land and equality isn't in it. Equality was behind the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, China's Cultural Revolution and the Spanish Civil War.

Without exception and, but for a momentary symbolic flicker, inequality was never extinguished. Wealth and power remained concentrated. Only the people changed. In the impoverished Soviet Union, the wealthiest 10 per cent earned seven times the poorest 10 per cent. In China, princelings, the descendants of those on Mao's Long March, are the modern dynasty who still enjoy remarkable wealth, privilege and influence. Recent flirtations with socialism have left economies from Greece to Venezuela in tatters and the despair of jobless youth and the misery of the abandoned poor are there for all to see.

Why then, in this postmodern world, when we know that free enterprise has so spectacularly raised living standards and prolonged life for all, do we demonise it as uncaring, unfair and outdated?

Free market capitalism, like nature, may favour the resilient, the ambitious and the fleet of foot, but rather than celebrate self-interest and see wealth creation as a positive contribution to all society, we are conditioned by the Left, from school days on, to believe that social goals and the collectivist vision are more important than private choices; that without government intervention, most will be left behind.

This is our world. A top-down social-democratic state where elites are patronised, competition is controlled, where private initiative is stifled, free speech is abridged and where the electorate is increasingly state dependent. Here, big government colludes with big labour and big business to socialise losses at taxpayer expense . . . Full story: theaustralian.com.au

Comment: Equality is an unscriptural Jewish concept forced upon the Goyim by Judaeo-Communism. In 1950 one-time Russian delegate to the UN spoke of "launching the most spectacular peace movement on record." The object was to "put the bourgeoisie to sleep," so that the final takeover of the entire world by the Communists would succeed through the element of surprise. This "peace offensive was launched by Khrushchev in 1956, (the year of America's last opportunity for national repentance), but passed largely unnoticed because of the dramatic diversion provided by de-Stalinization. The vital importance of Khrushchev's speech at the Twentieth Party Congress was that it inaugurated the strategy of "peaceful co-existence" as the means of achieving worldwide Communist dictatorship—an objective which clearly could not be gained by a conventional military confrontation.

This is what Jesus foretold. He identified Judaeo-Communism as a spirit called Laodicea, or "people's rights" which rejected Jesus Christ and His Word in 1963 when it rejected the revelation of the Seven Seals which brought Christ back to earth is Word Form (Revelation 3:15-20). The above article illustrates the absurdity of equality (Genesis 3:16).

The Truth about the Bible

May 25, 2011 — During a question and answer session at a recent speaking engagement, a university student asked me, "Why do you believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God?"

Now this is a very interesting question, and probably one of the most important questions any Christian could ask themselves. What is so special, so unique about the Bible that Christians believe it is literally the inspired word of God?

In answering this student's question, I encouraged him to consider the following facts about the Bible. First, the Bible is not just one single book. This is a more common misconception than many people realize, especially with people who do not come from a Christian background. Rather than being a single book, the Bible is actually a collection of 66 books, which is called the canon of scriptures. These 66 books contain a variety of genres: history, poetry, prophecy, wisdom literature, letters, and apocalyptic, just to name a few.

Second, these 66 books were written by 40 different authors. These authors came from a variety of backgrounds: shepherds, fishermen, doctors, kings, prophets, and others, most of whom never knew one another personally.

Third, these 66 books were written over a period of 1,500 years. Yet again, this is another reminder that many of these authors never knew or collaborated with one another in writing these books.

Fourth, the 66 books of the Bible were written in 3 different languages. In the Bible we have books that were written in the ancient languages of Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic; a reflection of the historical and cultural circumstances in which each of these books were written.

And finally, these 66 books were written on 3 different continents: Africa, Asia and Europe. Once again, this is a testament to the varied historical and cultural circumstances of God's people.

Think about the above realities: 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1,500 years, in 3 different languages, on 3 different continents. What's more, this collection of books shares a common storyline—the creation, fall, and redemption of God's people; a common theme—God's universal love for all of humanity; and a common message—salvation is available to all who repent of their sins and commit to following God with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength.

In addition to sharing these commonalities, these 66 books contain no historical errors or contradictions. God's word truly is an amazing collection of writings!

After I had shared the above facts with this student, I offered him the following challenge. "If you do not believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, if you do not believe that the Bible is of a supernatural origin, then I challenge you to a test, I challenge you to go to any library in the world, you can choose any library you like, and find 66 books which match the characteristics of the 66 books in the Bible. You must choose 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1,500 years, in 3 different languages, written on 3 different continents. However, they must share a common storyline, a common theme, and a common message, with no historical errors or contradictions." I went on to say, "If you can produce such a collection of books, I will admit that the Bible is not the inspired word of God."

The student's reply was almost instantaneous, he emphatically stated, "But that's impossible!"

It truly is impossible, for any collection of human writings. However, the Bible passes this test. The Bible contains 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1,500 years, in 3 different languages, on 3 different continents, with no historical errors or contradictions. The entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, bears the mark of Divine inspiration.

The next time you encounter someone who asks you why you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, try sharing this challenge with them. Better yet, don't wait until you're asked, just go ahead and share this challenge with a friend today. You don't even have to mention the Bible up front; just ask them if they think it would be realistic to assemble such a collection of books. After they say, "But that's impossible!" you've got a ready-made opportunity for sharing the truth of God's word with somebody!

Rightly Dividing the Word


You must recognize your day and it's Message. God is only writing epistles of what Peter called the "present Truth"; you must know what Jesus is doing now and see that part of His Word living through you, lest you impersonate the Word for a day gone by. So "study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth" (II Timothy 2:15). We must say the right thing to God (Matthew 15:22).

The Old Testament was "a shadow and type of good things to come and not the very image of those things," however the image becomes more distinct as the prophecy nears its season of fulfilment. If a vision is Scriptural, it must be interpreted by the Scripture, or a continuation of the same Scripture. So Moses' life and ministry began to realize God's promises to Abraham; Paul's revelations were firmly based upon Moses, Brother Branham restored the apostolic faith to complete the Reformation and introduce the second or parousia Coming of Christ the Capstone, and two prophets will gather Israel into the Promised Land and reconfirm the New Covenant to fulfil the sixfold purpose of Gabriel's vision to Daniel and usher in the millennium.

Israel's Seven FeastsHebrews 9:21-27, "Moses sprinkled both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry with blood. And almost all things are by the Law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood there is no remission of sin [as the wages of sin is death and blood is the evidence of life surrendered for life (Leviticus 17:11)]. It was therefore necessary that the earthly copies of things in the heavenly sanctuary not made with hands should be purified with these [animal sacrifices]; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made with hands, which are counterparts of the genuine; but into heaven itself, now to be manifested in the Presence of God for us . . . to put away sin by means of His sacrifice." It was not the blood that purified the influence of earthly sin upon the heavenly sanctuary but the surrender of Jesus' Life that was accepted by the Lord in that "He was raised for our justification".

From Nisan 10-14, the Lamb of God was chosen as Israel's Messiah and King when he rode into Jerusalem "on a colt, the foal of an ass" (Zechariah 9:9; Matthew 21). Like the natural Passover lamb Jesus was tested four days and although He was found to be without blemishes all Israel decided to crucify Him (Matthew 27:25).

Matthew 27:50-53, "When Jesus had cried again with a loud voice, He yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and [after three days] the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many".

Nisan 15 was the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread which extended over seven days. The first day was a holy convocation and the seventh day was a holy convocation. It commemorated the solemn circumstances in which the Israelites commenced their national life; their exemption from the plague of death upon the first-born through the blood of the natural lamb, and their exodus in prepared haste such as to deny themselves time to leaven their bread.

On Nisan 16 the sheaf or omer of the firstfruits of the barley harvest, (as with the first-born considered the choicest), was waved by the priest by which act Israel consecrated the whole of the harvest of barley, wheat and other grains unto the Lord and were only permitted to use it when they receive it as a gift from Him. Natural and Spiritual Israel were God's firstborn—a dispensational truth (Exodus 4:22; Romans 1:16)—one separated from the nations, the other separated from the denomi-nations (I Corinthians 5:7-8), each a token of Israel as a firstfruits of redemption, and the beginning of the world's great harvest.

The unleavened barley could not be eaten (or the Old Testament saints raised) till Jesus Christ the sheaf was waved, ground into flour, offered and accepted thus consecrating the whole of the harvest (of Old and New Testament saints – I Corinthians 15:20, 23, Romans 4:25). The presentation of the firstfruits types Christ's resurrection on Sunday, Nisan 16 (John 12:23) that commenced and the feast of Weeks, Firstfruits or Pentecost, and whereas the former festival marked the absolute beginning of the grain harvest with barley, this marked the completion of the harvest with the reaping of wheat, the noblest of grains.

The feast of Pentecost or Weeks constituted seven sabbaths or forty-nine days. The fiftieth day was a Sunday like the first, and in the antitype the saints will "meet the Lord in the Air." It was on this day that the Old Testament and the New Testament Churches were inaugurated at Sinai, and in Jerusalem.

On the fiftieth day after the presentation of the wave sheaf "when the Day of Pentecost was fully come," an offering was made of the grain as prepared for food, and two loaves baked with leaven were waved before the Lord. It solemnized the termination of the harvest season as the wave sheaf of barley had signalled its commencement (Exodus 34:22; Leviticus 23:15-21) and as a consecration dedicated to God the food for the coming year. The two loaves represent Christ's Bride of all Ages in the Pentecostal Jubilee. When the "latter rain" falls upon all flesh the sleeping saints will rise and we who are alive will manifest that we are the Sons of God. Because of leaven the loaves could not be offered on the altar showing us that despite our corruptible flesh Christ's end-time Bride will not die or enter the tribulation but be changed in the atoms.

Ruth and Naomi returned to Israel just as the barley harvest began and in this fifty-day period they harvested the barley and then the wheat, so the Israelites read the Book of Ruth in the Temple at the Feast of Pentecost. There we have the beautiful story of a Gentile woman who by virtue of the working of the Holy Spirit became a part of Israel and ultimately in the lineage of our Lord Jesus Christ. Pentecost was a time for which Israel should have yearned, a day when Israelites and Gentiles would be blessed in their common Messiah.

How Christ built His Church throughout the antitype of Isrtael's Pentecostal feastThe feast of Pentecost types the Gentile dispensation. It commenced on the last six days of the feast of Unleavened Bread, signifying the pure Word of God untainted by human reasoning. The seven sabbaths or rests type the seven Church Ages, born of seven different baptisms of the Holy Ghost followed by the present holy convocation of the fiftieth day that will conclude in our Jubilee and body change. The Body of Christ is being built from nine dispensations of the Spirit to fulfil His eternal purpose described in Ephesians 1:3-5, 9-14, 17-23 by II Peter 1:12 and I John 1:7 that we might mature into written epistles in the stature of the perfect Man (II Corinthians 3:2).

God incarnate, Satan incarnateSatan is building his kingdom "by might and power" as God's "still, small voice" is speaking His kingdom to predestinated hearts able to receive the revelation for their hour by faith.

Unless we obey Acts 17:11, spiritual Israel, the church will share the fate of natural Israel. Isaiah 1:4-9 said: "Oh what a sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, descendants of evildoers, children that are corrupters. They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, and they are utterly estranged. Why should you be chastised again, since you insist on increasing your apostasy? Every head has become diseased, and every heart is faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; only wounds, bruises, and putrefying sores that have not been closed, neither bound up nor softened with oil. Your country is devastated, your cities are burnt with fire: the Serpent's seed have devoured your cultivated fields in your presence: a devastating overthrow by Serpent's seed. The daughter of Zion is left as a shanty in a vineyard, a shack in a cucumber patch, as a besieged city. If the Lord of hosts had not kept alive a few survivors, we should have been as Sodom, and like Gomorrah."

Like Israel of old and Jewry today, Christendom is "apostate and knoweth it not," overthrown by the natural and spiritual Serpent's seed "as it was in the days of Noah" (Matthew 24:37; II Timothy 3 – 4; Revelation 3:15-20). "The daughter of Zion," the true Church, is such a "little flock" she is in the wilderness so to speak, unrecognized by the world.

We are not reviewing the historic past when Syria and Ephraim oppressed Jerusalem, or when Sennacherib took Judah's fenced cities. We see the "spiritual Sodom and Egypt" that is modern Israel emulating the moral depravity imposed upon Germany after World War I under the Jew's Weimar Republic (Revelation 11:8). Soon Israel will be utterly defeated which will allow blood descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Israel to return to the land of the Covenant without "fear of the Jews"  (Isaiah 13:15-16; Daniel 11:39; Zechariah 13:8-9; 14:1-2; Revelation 16:19). Since Israel types the United States of America—"a sinful nation, whose people are laden with iniquity," she too will be invaded, "the houses rifled and her women raped . . . a devastated country whose cities will be burned with fire."

Under the Law the two wave loaves could only be baked from what had grown on the holy soil itself. Viewed in this light there was a special significance in the fact that Antioch, where the name "Christian" first marked the new 'sect' that had sprung up in Palestine (Acts 11:26) and where the first Gentile Church was formed (Acts 11:20-21), lay just outside the northern boundary of Israel. Like the Israelites, Christians can only worship under the blood in the place where God has chosen to place His Name (Deuteronomy 16:1-6). Unlike the Law keepers we are not bound to meet Him in Jerusalem, for the place where He has chosen to place His Name is now in the Word for the hour (Isaiah 66:1; Matthew 11:25-30; II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7). Whereas Israel's sabbath gave natural rest for their mortal flesh and spirit, our sabbath is spiritual and eternal rest for the soul.

I Chronicles 17:1-8: "Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of cedars, but the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord remains under curtains [just as God's Word was veiled under Seven Seals]." Brother Branham unveiled the Word and revealed the Capstone revelation to prepare us to manifest that we are the Sons of God.

"Then Nathan, [knowing that God loved David], said do all that is in your heart; for God is with you. But the same night, the Word of God came to Nathan, saying, Go and tell David My servant, Thus saith the Lord, You shall not build Me a house to dwell in: for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel till today; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another," [as He passed from Church Age to Church Age and from baptism with the Holy Ghost by the Word for one Age to baptism with the Holy Ghost by the Word for the next Age when the Bible was veiled by seven Seals].

"Wherever I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people, saying, Why haven't you built Me a house of cedars?"

"Therefore you shall say to My servant David, Thus says the Lord of hosts, I took you from the sheep shelter and from following the sheep, that you should be ruler over My people Israel: and I have been with you wherever you walked, and cut off all your enemies from before you, and made you a name like the great men that sleep in the earth" [as He has made Brother Branham a great man among the prophets and apostles]
(The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 12:1—15:1).

God's Word hid in the Ark under the Tabernacle and in the Temple (Exodus 25:10-11), veiled in the Holy of Holies until the Captivity. Thereafter the Holy of Holies was empty and from His baptism until Mark 15:37 it hid in Jesus Christ. In 1963 Christ removed the veil revealing the UNWRITTEN Seventh Seal whose mystery caps the Pyramid to fulfil the Tent Vision (Genesis 9:27) and reveal the real Temple—His glorified Bride of all Ages—in the first resurrection and manifestation of the Sons of God.

David saw that the Lord should have His own House, not a house of masonry but His glorified saints. It is redemption time. Brother Branham has a name like the great men, six angels who sleep in the earth pending the first resurrection. When the Lord commissioned His Prophet He told him to read Joshua 1:5-9. As Joshua divided the natural land of promise to natural Israel, Brother Branham divided the Body of Christ to show His end-time Bride which parts of His Body are already fulfilled so that we will recognize our position in the Body and not impersonate the Word for a day gone by.

To illustrate, "Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, You Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites. And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said to him, Are you an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay; then said they to him, Say Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time forty-two thousand Ephraimites."

And we must say the right thing to God or we too will fall (Judges 12:4-6; II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7).

David was not permitted to build that temple but was commissioned to plan the Temple his son would build. Solomon was a type of God's Son Christ and Solomon's temple was a type of the [(Heb.) 'banah,'] extension or continuation of His Body, the Church, that John saw in Revelation 21:1-3 coming down from God out of heaven.

How Christ built Hid Body, the ChurchBrother Branham was ordained to deliver "Light in the evening time" from the BREACH between the Church Ages and the Seals, to dress the Capstone Bride and finish Jesus' Temple (Zechariah 14:7; Matthew 24:27-28). A breach means divorce, and when the church rejected the revelation of the Seven Seals at the end of Laodicea it apostatized (II Timothy 4:3-4; Hebrews 6:4-8; Revelation 3:17-20) and put Christ away for this was Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming as the Son of Man. The revelation of the fullness of the Word in His parousia Coming separates His end-time Bride from the Pentecostals and others in the world church system.

When the Laodicean Church Age was fulfilled the Lord sealed the Body of PART-Word saints as He had sealed Noah's Ark: no one could enter because mediation for ignorance of the fullness of the Word was finished, and redemption was over. Christ is no longer in the office Son of God and Mediator; He is Son of Man, King of kings and Judge. Brother Branham introduced the Son of Man by the revelation of the Seven Thunders which is "the present Truth" and the one way into the Capstone of Christ's end-time Bride.

Christ is only marrying a Word Bride and we must say the right thing to God. As Revelation 4 and 5 explain there is no blood on the Mercy Seat which is now the Judgment Seat, so most of our preaching is to those Brother Branham termed the "total lost." Such as the scoffers outside the Ark to whom Noah preached after the Lord God had shut and sealed the door, and those to whom Jesus preached after His crucifixion when He descended to the place of the departed; men who had rejected the Words of the prophets.

Paul said, "Leaving the [baby things of the] principles of the Doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection (I Corinthians 13:9-13); not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. [PART-Word denominational preaching that is impersonating dispensations fulfilled long ago]."

"And this will we do, if God permit. [We must press onward and upward toward perfection in the stature of the perfect man
(Ephesians 4:11-13)]. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened by understanding the Word of Truth, and have tasted of the heavenly gift [of Christ] as conferring peace in the remission of sins and sanctification by the washing of water by the Word, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost [born-again], and have tasted the good Word of God, and the powers of the world to come."

"If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame [as if He had been crucified as a malefactor]. For the earth which drinks in the rain that comes oft upon it, and brings forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receives blessing from God: but that which bears thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned"
(Hebrews 5:12 – 6:8).

Matthew 5:45, "For He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." Paul is writing to the Hebrews separating Law from grace and showing that it is impossible for a genuine elect to repudiate his new birth and be lost, for he is sealed to the day of his redemption (Ephesians 4:30). It is impossible to deceive the elected on the revealed Word of God (Matthew 24:24).

The Church Ages ended at Revelation 3:22 and in Revelation 4 we see John, who represents Christ's end time Bride throughout the Book of Revelation, caught up to heaven in the Spirit by revelation of the "shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16 which is the Bridegroom call of Matthew 25:6. We are now caught up in the rapture with both feet firmly planted on earth.

Revelation 4:1-6: "After the end of the seven Church Ages, I saw a door standing open in heaven."

What is that Door?

Jesus said, "I am the Door for the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the Door: Whoever comes in by Me will be saved; he will go in and out and find pasture" (John 10:7-9).

"And the first voice which I heard [in Revelation 1:10] talking with me as clear and commanding as a trumpet; now said, 'Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after the Church Ages.' And immediately I was in the power of the Spirit: and saw a throne standing in heaven, and One seated on the throne resembled in appearance jasper and sardius stone: and an emerald-colour rainbow encircled the Throne [not a vertical bow as we see, but the full circle of a horizontal rainbow]."

"Surrounding the throne on twenty-four thrones were twenty-four elders clad in white robes, with golden crowns on their heads. From the throne issue flashes of lightning, and voices and thunders: and seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God: and before the throne there was as it were a glassy sea like crystal . . ."


ground plan of tabernacleThis scene signifies redemption is over, the seven portions of the Spirit that anointed and inspired the angels to each Church Age and quickened the saints by the Word for their day have left the earth and returned before the throne of God. It is no longer a Mercy Seat for the Blood of Christ has been removed "and without shedding of blood is no remission" (Hebrews 9:22): it is a Judgment Seat whence proceed angry "flashes of lightning, voices and thunders, and before the throne is as it were a glassy sea as clear as crystal." Here the saints were "sanctified and cleansed from sin with the washing of water by the Word [which is revelation]" (Ephesians 5:26). Now the laver is clear, proving redemption was over when Christ opened and revealed the Seals through His Prophet in 1963. All of the PART-Word saints have been washed and born-again, Christ has departed from the denominations, and His Bride will not remain where the Spirit is not welcome (Revelation 18:4).

So long as the Blood was present there was atonement for every child of Adam and God could not destroy the earth; now the Blood is off the Mercy Seat and He will destroy all life on earth. He raised Russia to destroy the Judaeo-Roman church, after which Judaeo-Communism will destroy life on earth. What about us, Brother? Christ's end-time Bride and the 144,000 elect Israelites were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary and we are already in the rapture.

The One Person of God, not two or three, sat on the throne. In verse three it says, "He" (not they) was to look upon as a jasper stone; verses nine and ten say that the living creatures gave honour to "Him" (not them) and that the elders fell down before "Him" (not them). In verse eleven they cried, "You are worthy O Lord" (not Lords), and said this One on the throne was the "Creator," which is Jesus (John 1:3; Hebrews 12:2), which is the Eternal Spirit of the Old Testament (Genesis 1:1).

It was not until Revelation 5:6-8 (which follows Revelation 4:2-3 in sequence of time) that we see the "Lamb" taking the Book from "Him" that sat on the throne, as indicated in Revelation 4:2-3 and 9-10. This is the mystery of "one God." He, Jesus, came out from God, became manifested in flesh, died and rose again, and returned to the "Bosom of the Father" (John 1:18). It was now time for God (Messiah) to come back to claim His Bride and then make Himself known to Israel. Thus we see God again stepping forth to assume a physical relationship to man as the "Son of David, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and Bridegroom of the Gentile Bride" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 22:1).

After Christ claimed and opened the Book, "I . . . [insert YOUR name here because throughout the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ John represents YOU as Christ's end-time Bride] . . . beheld and heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain to take the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing" (Revelation 5:11-12).

Now who are these "angels?"

The angels are the true Church called out from Genesis 1:27 wherein "God created [(Heb.) 'bara' out of nothing] man in His own image [a spirit being], in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them." By faith He beheld the whole creation in His mind and saw all in Adam's race before the foundation of the world. Hebrews 11:3, "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." These angels in Revelation 5 are the Bride of all Ages, so YOU were in the Presence of the Lord when He took the Book and opened the Seals, for although redemption ended in Revelation 3:22 Christ's end-time Bride was fully redeemed in Him on Calvary. You are now living the negative of that image or film positive of your glorified being He foresaw, and subject to sickness, heartbreak and decay. "The promise by faith of Jesus Christ in you who believe" will transform the film positive into real substance of glorified flesh (Galatians 3:22).

The Blood of the Lamb holds off Malachi 4:5-6, "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: and he [John the Baptist] will turn the heart of the apostolic fathers to the children or New Testament saints born of Christ [not the Israel nation that is His servant and ours and must continue in apostasy until it is born-again in one day]; and he [William Branham] will turn the heart of the children back to the faith of their apostolic fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse".

Malachi 4:1-3, "The day comes, burning like a furnace; then all the arrogant, and evildoers, will be stubble: the day that comes will burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who revere My Name [Lord Jesus Christ], the Sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its beams; and you shall go forth, leaping like calves of the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be [atomic] ashes under the soles of your feet in that day when I [(Heb.) 'asah'—fashion from existing material] earth for the millennium says the Lord of hosts".

It is LATER than you think or dare imagine. The Blood of the Lamb was lifted from the Mercy Seat in 1963 when the Church Ages were fulfilled and Christ descended "as a thief in the night".

According to Isaiah 66:1, "Heaven is God's throne, and earth is His footstool or Judgment Seat" (Acts 7:9; Revelation 3:21). Only the presence of Christ's end-time Bride withholds God's wrath in an earthquake that will sink Los Angeles, signalling the end of the Gentile dispensation, the 'hot stage' of World War III, economic collapse, depression, Judaeo-Roman world government, tribulation, the birth of the Israel nation in one day, their martyrdom and the consummation.

Christ's end-time Bride is the Blood of Christ by the baptism with the Holy Spirit, for the Life is in the Blood (Leviticus 17:11; I Corinthians 6:17). II Thessalonians 2:7, "For the mystery of iniquity is already at work: only the Holy Spirit will continue to restrain him until He is taken out of the way in our translation".

It's almost time for us to go Home. The Israelites have not yet returned to the land of the Covenant, and it will be unsafe for them to return until after the earthquake and the exodus of Jews in Israel's defeat.

Brother Branham said, "Every Jew isn't an Israelite. See? No, he's just a Jew . . . Paul never said all Jews will be saved; he said "all Israel will be saved." Why? Israel's name, that's the name of redemption all the way back. See? And all Israel will be saved, but not all Judaism will be saved. See?"

"Just like Gentiles . . . There's thousands times thousands of people, yes literally millions of these organizations that are called Christian, Church of Christ, and all such names as that. That don't mean one thing" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 474:3-4).

In "Gabriel's Instructions to Daniel" Brother Branham said, "God deals only with the Jews Israelites when they are in their homeland . . . as long as Israel's out of their nation, they cannot be saved . . . What day that God determines Israel to be a nation, that's the day that there'll never be another Gentile saved . . . Now . . . God deals with Israel only when she's in her homeland . . . When Abraham left the homeland and went down into Egypt, what happened? He walked away from the will of God and never was blessed till he returned back to the homeland. God never dealt with him, not one vision, not nothing else till he come back to the homeland."

"Look at Israel when they were sent down in Egypt, four hundred years, not one miracle, not one sign, not one thing happened among them, not recorded in the history of the Book: same old nine and nine: Go to church, offer the lamb, say a "Hail Mary," or whatever it was . . . We'll elect Rabbi So-and-so; he's got a better scholarship; he knows more about the Egyptians." The first thing you know, the Egyptians and all of them was the same thing."

"That's the same things happened to the church. We've all went to be Methodists, or Baptists, or Presbyterian . . . It's the way it was in Egypt."

"And God never did deal with Israel till she come to her homeland. Hear me. THUS SAITH THE LORD, God will not deal with His Church till she comes back to the Homeland, the Message of the hour. . ." (p. 28:115, 121-122, 126, 130, 133). Brother Branham is telling us in 1961, twelve years after the UN declared Israel a nation that the Israelites are not back in the Homeland; rather Jewish impersonators have stolen the land and the name of Israel.

Israel's Seven FeastsThroughout the Gentile dispensation a Seal opened, the angel to the Church sees the mystery and proclaims its Message, initiating a spiritual war. Then God takes His messenger with the elect of his age, pours a Vial upon the non-elect church, a Trumpet pronounces a plague on natural Israel and their Jewish impersonators for refusing the Gospel trumpet calling them to atonement in Christ, and a Church Age opens. Now we will outline the antitype of Israel's last annual festivals: the feast of the Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the feast of Tabernacles.

There were 180-days between the compulsory annual assemblies of Passover and the feast of Tabernacles. Tishri 1 commenced the sabbatical year and the year of Jubilee with a holy convocation on which the feast of Trumpets reminded the people of their Covenant (Malachi 4:4) and to solemnly prepare to observe the Day of Atonement on Tishri 10. Tishri was the seventh month of the ecclesiastical year but the first month of the Civil New Year. It was the month for sowing, as well as the ingathering of the last ripe fruits.

The antitype of the feast of Trumpets will occupy the three and a half year ministry of Israel's two witnesses during the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week (Daniel 7:25; 12:7; 8:24; 9:27; Revelation 11:1-7; 13:5). These two Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4, Matthew 24:31 and Revelation 11 will expound the mystery of Israel's Seven Trumpets. The sounding of Israel's Seventh or Great Trumpet will signal the close of the Gentile dispensation (Revelation 11:15-19) and call Israel to her Day of Atonement or new birth by the revelation of her Seven Trumpet mysteries (Isaiah 66:8; Matthew 17; Acts 1:6, 9-11).

Tishri 10, the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27; 25:9; 16:29; Numbers 29:7; Zechariah 12:1—13:9) was the day on which, when the Temple was extant, Israel mourned their sins of the past year that had metaphorically accumulated in the Holy of Holies because the blood of bulls and goats could not remit sin. However there was an annual cleansing of the Sanctuary whereby two goats represented Christ: one goat bore sin's price in death whereas the other goat carried the sin away, showing what Messiah accomplished on Calvary two thousand years before.

Leviticus 23:29-32, "Whoever does not humble himself and afflict his soul on the Day of Atonement shall be cut off from among his people. And whoever does any work on this particular day God will destroy from among His people. You shall do no work whatever: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. It shall be for you a perfect sabbath of rest, and you shall humble your souls on the ninth of the month at eventide, from one evening to the next you will keep your sabbath."

"Afflicting the soul" implies the essence of scriptural fasting that lies in penitence and self humiliation; the precise mode of subduing the spirit, and of expressing sorrow for sin, is left to the conscientious discretion of each individual. There was no fast in the Mosaic calendar.

Isaiah 61:1-3, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me; because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." Israel rejected this jubilee when it killed Messiah.

Luke 4:16-21 records Jesus reading these words of Isaiah's prophecy concerning His ministry in the synagogue at Nazareth, "And He closed the Book, and gave it back to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him. And He began to say to them, This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears." He stopped reading in the middle of the verse because the balance pertains to His second or 'parousia' Coming.

Brother Branham preached "the day of vengeance of our God." After our Home going Israel's two witnesses will call out 144,000 elect Israelites to mourn their Day of Atonement following their belated revelation of Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming and their recognition that "by wicked hands Israel had crucified and slain" Messiah (Acts 2:23). This will be the birth of the nation in one day, He will "comfort all that mourn; and grant those that mourn in Zion, a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise in place of the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified"  (Isaiah 66:1-10; Zechariah 12:10-12; Matthew 24:30; Revelation 1:7).

This will be Israel's Jubilee following the martyrdom of their witnesses in the second half of the Seventieth Week. When they recognize Christ's parousia and "make reconciliation for iniquity" the "Hear ye Him," of Matthew 17:8 will be fulfilled, and they will seal their faith in martyrdom (Leviticus 26:40-46; Daniel 9:24).
His Wife has made herself ready
Revelation 19:1-16, "After these things . . ." the Seals, Trumpet Plagues and Woes, the casting out of Satan, the tribulation, the setting up of the Millennium by the new birth and martyrdom of 144,000 elect Israelites . . . we see 144,000 in heaven rejoicing over the nuclear destruction of the great harlot, Papal Rome, and the annihilation of her (once) Protestant US image in Revelation 18. They recognize Christ's end-time Bride is a W_O_R_D Bride and declare, "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come to pass and His wife has made herself ready. [Dressed in the revealed Word of the Message of Revelation 10:7 we go to the Wedding Supper in the Sky, not to the marriage which proceeded throughout two thousand years of the Gentile dispensation]. And it was granted her that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of saints. And the angel [Brother Branham] said to [your name] ... Write: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the Wedding Banquet of the Lamb.' And he also told me, These are the true Words of God" [or THUS SAITH THE LORD. "And we do have today, by God's help, the perfect interpretation of the Word with Divine vindication. Then that which is in part is done away with" (COD, p. 1005:57)].

"And . . . some over-excited followers of Brother Branham . . . fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto . . . them . . ., 'You must not do that: I am a fellow servant with you, and of your brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God.' For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy".

In Revelation 19:11-21 we see a vision of our heavenly Bridegroom descending with the vindicated Word of His earthly Bride to battle the Beast. As described by the Prophet: "Here comes Satan with all four corners of the earth with his Protestants and with his Catholics, and all together, marching right up to the battle of Armageddon. All right. And here comes Jesus coming down from heaven with resurrected saints, vindicated Word."

"As I said, "If God speaks and sends you He backs up what you say." See, see? Notice, if you're an ambassador from heaven, all heaven's behind you. And heaven is consisted of the Word."

"Notice now, He's come with resurrected saints, vindicating that His Word is true. So Satan knows then the bottomless pits is ready for him. See? Oh, my. While death rode the pale horse, mixed creed and denominations and followed him . . . Oh, my, the eternal separation from God, that's where he rode them to, eternal separation. Christ rode His Church right into glory in the resurrection . . ."

"The first Elijah was a rejected man by the churches. And Jezebel and Ahab was the head of them churches: church and state, it's all together [a type of the United States image to the beast]. And Elijah revealed Ahab's sins to him and commanded the whole church to turn back to the true Word."

"If that isn't exactly what the second Elijah is supposed to do when he comes to this church in this day: restore back the original faith. I don't see how you're going to squeeze away from it. That's right. Turn back to the true Word. That's right."

"Now, if you want to see their bodies, let's turn over here to Revelations 19 after the Word slays them. Now, the Word's going to kill them. You know that. All right now, you just watch and see what happens when Christ coming in Revelations 19, beginning with the 17th verse."

"And His vesture was dipped with blood, and he's called King of king and Lord of lords." (In the 13th verse, He's called the Word of God. See? Now, here He is King of kings and Lord of lords.) "And I saw an angel. . ." [Brother Branham, Malachi 4:5-6; Revelation 14:9; 18:4; 19:17].

"And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: . . . (Out of His mouth, like from God's mouth to Moses' mouth. See?) . . . and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and . . . tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God."

"And He hath on His vesture (a name) . . . on his thigh a name written, KING OF KING, and LORD of LORDS."


". . . (Now, watch, now He comes forth smiting. Who's He smiting? Jezebel and her Ahab, false prophet. [Rome and her US image]). "And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls of the air in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together to the supper of the great God;"

"He feeds them to the beasts and birds. Now, watch over here in the other chapter here of the Book of Revelations. . . "Kill with the sword and death and beasts of the earth." See? The Jezebel church, her actually body, is to be eaten by fowls and beasts of the earth. Just exactly like Ahab and Jezebel was in the natural, so are they to be in the spiritual form a church. Do you see what I mean? All right.

"Elijah was the prophet in the days of Ahab and Jezebel, natural. And He's promised to do the same thing according to THUS SAITH THE LORD, in the Word to the Jezebel, spiritual: His Spirit form of ministry" [Brother Branham, Malachi 4:5-6; Revelation 14:9; 18:4; 19:17].

"Watch. Elijah, though in his day properly and profoundly vindicated, could not turn them back to the Word. Is that right? Though Elijah tried with everything; he did everything; he showed them signs and wonders; and they laughed in his face. Same thing they'll do with this spiritual. See? He could not turn them back to the Word."

"Out of the millions . . . Now, listen, Church, close now you that is going to be confused on this. Out of the millions in the world in the days of Elijah, when Jezebel and Ahab was reigning in type of the antitype today out of the whole world, there was only seven hundred thousand saved of Elijah's preaching. Is that right? It's exactly."

"Look, Elijah never knew even one of them was that way. He thought he was the only one saved until God opened one of the Seals and showed him the mystery of the Book, that He had seven hundred thousand that never bowed down to them creeds that they had. When God opened His Book to Elijah, He said, "Now, wait a minute, son; I got seven hundred thousand that's tucked around out there: got their names on the Book since the foundation of the world. They're Mine."

"God opened the Seals. That's the reason I think John was doing all that shouting the other night (Revelation 5:13). He must've seen his name on there. You see, see? One day God opened . . ." [a perfect type] (ibid, 325:1-3; 327:1 – 328:5).

Tishri 15-22, the feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:34-44; Numbers 29:12-40; Deuteronomy 16:13-16) is Israel's third annual compulsory feast, a joyous celebration commemorating Israel's passage through the desert, and thanksgiving on the completion of ingathering bountiful harvest blessings of God's provenance. It points to the joyous rebirth of the nation of 144,000 Israelites called by the feast of Trumpets to their Day of Atonement many years after the Gentile Church has gone Home, and the restoration of the kingdom to Israel in the everlasting inheritance of the millennial antitypical Canaan. The feast commenced on Tishri 15 and extended seven days, followed by an eighth day. The first six days represent six days of a thousand years in which man has laboured against sin; the seventh day represents the millennium wherein all who live by the Word of God will complete a full day of one thousand years.

"Salvation" was the prominent topic at the feast, "So Christ shall appear the second time unto salvation" (Hebrews 9:28). When the first Adam died to redeem his sinful wife he forfeited his dominion and ours to Satan and bound us to time such that no man has lived a full day. When the last Adam died to redeem His sinful wife and rose again He defeated Satan and recovered our dominion of which the seventh day will be testimony. The millennium will be the transition eon between this present world of time and the eternal day to come. On the eighth day of the festival Jesus cried, "If any man thirst, let him come to Me, and drink. He that believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water [a promise of new birth by the Holy Spirit which was not yet given]" (John 7:2, 37-39; Isaiah 12:3). And at daybreak He came again into the temple [as they were extinguishing the large artificial lights, two colossal candlesticks in the center of the temple court, recalling the Pillar of Fire in the wilderness] and said, I am the Light of the world; he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life" (John 8:2, 12).

Joy was the prominent feature of the eighth day of the feast of Tabernacles which represents that eternal day where Christ and His Wife will rule over the renewed heavens and renewed earth from New Jerusalem overshadowed by the horizontal rainbow of God's Shekinah. nl900.htm
