Francis appoints Women to Roman Curia

July 15, 2019 — Well, it's happening. We all thought literal hell would break loose with the Sham-is-on Synod, but Pope Wants-A-Mess Francis apparently couldn't wait that long. Monday Pope Francis appointed 23 new members of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, which is one of nine congregations within the Roman Curia. Among his appointees are six women religious superior generals and one head of a women's secular institute. This has never been done and, of course, that's the point. The Pope has been trying to get women in the Vatican for years . . . Full story: remnantnewspaper.com

The Moon Landings: A Giant HOAX for Mankind?

July 15, 2019 — Less than half of the British and Russians still believe in the moon landings . . . Will the United States of America survive the exposure of this giant hoax? Lies tend to reproduce themselves like living organisms, since every lie needs to be covered up with more lies. Conversely, the exposition of one lie leads to the exposition of other lies, as people lose trust and start to question everything they were taught.

The paramilitary purpose of NASA is essential to understanding the Apollo hoax. For in matters of military programs, "what the public knows is also known to the enemy. This means that in principle the public and the enemy can be seen as essentially one and the same thing." Therefore, we should understand that deceiving the American public was not a perversion of NASA's original purpose, but an integral part of it. Full story: veteranstoday.com

Comment: President Kennedy's deception by the Jew LBJ is exposed, and may shed some light on Kennedy's assassination. Man has not landed on the Moon, Russia and China are continuing America's deception. In 1962 Brother Branham said, "They ain't going to get there. I don't believe, with all my heart, they'll ever get there. See?" (#62-0909M Countdown, p. 20:101, and see Has NASA Mooned America?)

Is Turkey now 'Officially' an Ally of Russia? Acquires Russia's S-400. Exit from NATO Imminent?

July 13, 2019 — Turkey is taking delivery of Russia's S 400 missile defence system [almost a year ahead of schedule] . . . The first shipment of the S-400 landed in Ankara on July 12 . . . Two more shipments are due, with the third delivery of "over 120 anti-aircraft missiles of various types . . . [scheduled] tentatively at the end of the summer, by sea." Reports confirm that the "Turkish S-400 operators will travel to Russia for training in July and August. About 20 Turkish servicemen underwent training at a Russian training center in May and June . . ." (CNN, July 12, 2019).

Comment: It is easy to see the source of this issue as the United States' dishonest and illegal withdrawal from the JCPOA, but that is only one piece of the larger problem. The US president, the irrational and dangerous Donald Trump, threatened the other signatories, including some of the US's oldest and strongest allies, with economic sanctions if they continued to trade with Iran. The leaders of those nations had a choice: stand up to the US, allow the sanctions to be implemented and watch the impact they had on the US economy, while maintaining their commitment to the JCPOA, or buckle under and bow and scrape to the illegal and immoral demands of the United States. That they chose the latter underscores the lack of strength of character of those nations' leaders (globalresearch.ca).

House Votes to end War with Iraq, prevent War with Iran

July 13, 2019 — The Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) applauded today's House votes repealing the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Saddam Hussein's Iraq (2002 AUMF) and preventing a new unauthorized war with Iran. "This landmark pair of victories signals a turning-point in the Congressional tide away from war and toward the path of peace," said Diane Randall, FCNL executive secretary. "Our Quaker faith tells us that war is never the answer, and it's becoming increasingly clear that both the American people and their elected representatives agree."

Voting 242-180, the House adopted Rep. Barbara Lee's (CA) amendment to repeal the 2002 AUMF. The 17-year-old law solely authorized war against Hussein's Iraqi regime. Both the Trump and Obama administrations hold that the 2002 AUMF does not authorize any activities that are not already covered by the 2001 AUMF, passed after the 9/11 attacks . . .

McJesus

January 12, 2019 — The "Association for Civil Rights in Israel" supports the Israeli Haifa Museum of Art's continuing exhibition of the "McJesus" statue, a mockery of Jesus Christ. Anti-Christian hate speech is not an issue for the far-Left and is never an issue for Israeli adherents of the Talmud, whose sacred book execrates Jesus. A McSchneerson mockery of Chabad-Lubavitch Grand Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson would never be permitted in any Israeli museum. The Christian Saviour's image has no such protection in the US-taxpayer funded 'Holy Land.' Yet, very few Americans today know of Shahak's work "Jewish History, Jewish Religion" and the information it contains. If they did, it's hard to believe that Americans would allow $8.5 million per day of their tax money to be given to Israel, where such teachings underlie a powerful minority that is disproportionately influential in governmental actions.

Nor is it likely that a fully informed American public would allow donations to religious institutions in Israel that teach supremacist, sometimes violent doctrines to be tax-deductible in the US . . . Full story: talmudical.blogspot.com

In China, Beijing is losing Control of the Economy

July 13, 2019 — Something strange is happening in China: Beijing appears to be steadily losing control of the economy, which by definition is impossible for a centrally-planned, command economy such as China's, and yet the latest signals are clear and ominous . . . and as Bloomberg notes, "China is grappling with a slowdown that will see output growth slide to the weakest pace in almost three decades this year," as factors far beyond the trade war with the US weigh on the world's second-largest economy. And speaking of the trade war, it is becoming increasingly clear that Beijing desperately needs it to continue just to allow president Xi to use it as a convenient scapegoat for all that is wrong with China . . . with Trump clearly winning the trade war with China—as China is losing control over its economy—Trump's demand for more easing, and pushing the US stock market to new all time highs, may be just the loophole that allows Beijing to avoid total defeat in the trade war, even if the tradeoff is 4 more years of Trump.

Judge shreds Mueller 'Evidence' of Kremlin Meddling

July 11, 2019 — A US District court judge has dealt a major blow to special counsel Robert Mueller's theory that the Kremlin engaged in "sweeping and systematic" meddling in the 2016 US election.

Judge Dabney L. Friedrich ruled this week that the Special Counsel's indictment of a Russian troll farm "does not link the defendants to the Russian government," and "alleges only private conduct by private actors."

Following the February, 2018 indictment of three Russian firms and 13 Russian nationals, Mueller's office was caught off guard when some of the Russians actually showed up in US court to defend themselves . . . Full story: zerohedge.com

Esau/Edom, and the Trail of the Serpent - II

Once again I greet you in the wonderful Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Please open your Bible to Deuteronomy 7:1-4, our first text as we further unfold the mystery of "Esau/Edom, and the Trail of the Serpent".

Deuteronomy 7:1-4, "When the Lord brings you into the Promised Land, He'll cast out the following seven nations, all greater and mightier than you are: the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. And when the Lord God delivers them to you; you shall smite and utterly destroy them; you shall make no covenant nor show mercy to them: neither shall you intermarry with them nor let your sons and daughters marry their sons and daughters for they will turn away your sons from following Me, to serve other gods. Then the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, to destroy you suddenly".

Brother Branham said, "Israel was a type of the United States. Their first kings were mighty man; David, Solomon, and great man. Our first presidents were great man; Washington, Lincoln, and so forth. Then finally the presidents or kings become getting more rotten all the time, and finally they ended up with this Ahab. Very type, typical of our day [President Kennedy]. . . it would take more than just preaching the Word to crack their stony hearts . . . I'm going to type Elijah with the church of today. Just before judgment . . . type that with the spiritual drought of today" (#65-0718, Spiritual Food in Due Season, p. 6:29-34; Malachi 4:5-6; Amos 8:11-14). Greater Israel

The type in our opening scripture was confirmed by the announcement of its antitype ten days after 9/11 when the Pentagon informed US General Wesley Clark that the United States was going to take out seven countries in five years: Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran. From the end of the First Gulf War in February 1991 Iraq was under UN sanctions and regular unlawful bombing by the US and UK until the second Gulf War. Do you see where we are today? Clearly Israeli terrorism—armed, recruited trained and directed in conjunction with the Pentagon and the CIA at US taxpayer expense, the war against the abstract noun 'terrorism' and the MOSSAD attack on 9/11 were all planned decades before 2001 in accordance with this 1871 military blueprint. From this important 7.5 min. video and you will recognize how the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic Edomite and Khazar self-styled Jews conducted a successful policy coup over the United States of America. These imposters are the people of God's curse to whom Israelites and non-Jews are dumb driven cattle, culled as expedient. Their Coalition of the willing "useful idiot" Goyim is slaughtering to steal Greater Israel, the self-promised land for the self-styled Jews, and to genocide Israelites in the Middle East and North Africa.

According to the type, one day "the anger of the Lord will be kindled against the United States, to destroy you suddenly." Brother Branham said, "This great nation is going to strike a war that's going to blow it to bits" (The Laodicean Church Age, p. 501:43). In the seventh of his apocalypse of continuous visions he said: "I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters and smoke all over the Land of America" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 322:3; The Ten Virgins, p. 445:111-114).

William Joseph Seymour, 1870-1922

The Gospel travelled westward from Jerusalem in the East to the West Coast of the United States. There in 1906 at a meeting on Azusa Street, Los Angeles, the gifts of the Holy Spirit manifest in a cross-eyed Negro Brother [William Joseph Seymour] with no more sense than to believe what God said is Truth (#64-0209, Countdown, p. 8:50). This lit the worldwide Pentecostal Revival and began the Laodicean Church Age that ended in 1963. The jubilee of Laodicea in 1956 was America's last opportunity for national repentance. Brother Branham said, America like Esau, has come to the place of no more repentance. That once great Christian nation apostatised and the world church system crucified Christ the second time when it rejected His (Gk.) parousia Coming in 1963 by the revelation of the Seven Seals. Now watch this 8.21 min. video on CIA letterhead documenting a Israeli betrayal of America everybody missed— selling US-supplied arms to Iran in 1986 when the US was supporting Iraq in war against Iran.

As the saying goes, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes." God's Word is Spirit and It is Life. All of His creation is Spirit manifest in three dimensions by His spoken Word, thus His law of reproduction requires that "everything bring forth of its own kind, whose seed is in itself" because the spoken Word is the original seed. Cain and his race are not God's Word manifest "after its kind" but hybridized in Eve with the seed of the Serpent, not in the Book of Life and without a KINSMAN Redeemer. Now you can see why they hate the sound of the Name, "Lord Jesus Christ"?

Jesus Christ is the last Adam, the sinless near Kinsman of the first Adam. Both men were the spoken Word manifest. Jesus died to redeem Adam and all of Adam's seed who were potentially in Adam and His kindred also. Jesus Christ did not and could not die to redeem Cain or anyone outside His own race because they are not seed of the first Adam, and He is not "the last Cain".

Is it any wonder we read in Genesis 3:15: "God placed enmity between Adam's race and Cain's race?" Whereas by cunning deception Cain's people hold the material wealth of the world, they have no inheritance in this world or hope for the world to come.

In our second Scripture God is speaking to His servant nation Israel, expounding the blessings for complete obedience to His Word. Deuteronomy 28:15, "It shall come to pass, if you will not hearken unto the Voice of the Lord your God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command you this day; that all these curses shall come upon you, and overtake you".

Israel failed to obey all of God's commandments. Whereas they were to utterly kill the Serpent's seed people whenever they were found in the Promised Land, their impetuous first act was to draw a covenant of peace with the Gibeonites whom God set at enmity with Adam's race (Joshua 9:3-27; Genesis 3:15).

Brother Branham said, "The world is going insane." Uninformed "Joe citizens" must wonder why everything is discordant? Why politics are upside down? Why the Christian West which once owned and controlled the world's resources, developed its industries and invented its technologies, is now bankrupt? Why, after apparent victory in two World Wars, they the tail and not the head?

Who is the head? It is of course the Gibeonites and their kin whose vicarious father is "the sum, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty," the cherub Lucifer, God's onetime right hand man to fellowship. Like Israel's High Priest Caiaphas who could recite Scripture verbatim, Lucifer possessed a photographic memory and unparalleled knowledge of God's plans but his understanding was also intellectual and without faith. There is such confusion and so little understanding concerning the how, when, where and why of past, present and future circumstances, of the nature of world and local events, and things that are to be because people don't truly believe the prophecies of God's unchanging Word, the Holy Bible. And those who do believe cling to myth, dogma, learning and tradition without faith.

All without the Caagsone are oppressed or possessed by the spirit of Laodicea. The Laodicean Church Age and Christ's mediation for ignorance of the fullness of the Word ended in 1963 when Christ claimed the Book of Redemption, loosed its Seven Seals and finished the mystery of God (Malachi 4:5, 6b; I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 10:1-7). Laodicea means "people's rights"; since we now have by the grace of God the perfect interpretation of the Word with divine vindication He is no longer "winking" at ignorance of the Word (Acts 17:30; Revelation 22:11, 17-19). God sent His Prophet with a Message which brought Christ, the fullness, back to earth in W_O_R_D form to transport the wise virgins across the breach between the Church Ages and the Seals into Christ the Caagsone and "Head of the corner" (Mark 12:10). The spirit of Laodicea rules over all those who have not been baptized into the Caagsone, and causes them to demand equal rights.

As I write, the spirit of Laodicea on the Democratic (sic) Party of the United States is demanding that illegal aliens who have invaded the nation should be entitled to vote, receive education, health benefits, pensions and housing. In Australia the spirit of Laodicea has saddled the nation with tens of thousands of inassimilable people speaking foreign languages, demanding their own laws and the benefits of tax-paying citizens. Europe has also been invaded. This is the work of the Devil and his vicarious children . . . billions in flesh, and trillions in spirit.

Jesus Christ prophesied that under the Fourth Seal and from the first Woe of 1914-1918 there would be no peace on earth until the millennium (Matthew 24:8), before which Armageddon will destroy all life. He went on to speak about the persecution of Israelites throughout the Christian dispensation by the Judaeo-Roman Universal Church and the enmity of Edomite and Khazar self-styled Jews against the children of Jacob. Personating Jesus Christ the Prophet said, "I've sent a persecution here and a persecution there, and I've run the Jews and drove them as hard as I could. And they've drove back in. Many Jews in the United States (which they won't escape from) has already received the Holy Ghost. But I've got all of the hundred and forty-four thousand standing there that's going to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost" (C.O.D., p. 97:235).

The spirit of Laodicea working through the international banksters of the Jews' City of London fomented World War I as a step toward global hegemony. The hidden hand always works under a another name and in a different occupation. German industry was producing better quality goods in competition with Britain's manufactures. The failed 1905 Judaeo-communist revolution in Russia, and the 1917 Judaeo-communist revolution that slaughtered the monarchy and established the USSR were workings of the spirit of Laodicea, which means "communism," or "people's rights".

The Bible foretold the disobedient feral nature of so many of today's youth the Prophet called "atomic fodder" (Romans 1:26-32; II Timothy 3:2-7). These are the fruit of self will: unbelieving parents and apostate churches on whom the wrath of God will pour because of this iniquity. A depredation of morals, homosexuality, destruction of marriage and family life was foretold. False teachers, lying prophets and deceiving spirits in the churches and the treachery of self-serving politicians were also predicted. Bible readers know that God will soon turn back to Israel and true Israel will be martyred.

Surely it's plain to see that God has raised up certain men, even nations, for destruction, and others for glory (Exodus 9:16; Romans 9:17). Nations are simply the offspring of men. Israel is the continuation of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: it preserves their characteristics and is heir to their Promises, whilst Edom is the extension of Esau and his attributes, and heir to his curse. For God said, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated" (Malachi 1:1-5; Romans 9:7-13).

Isn't it clear that there's an element of race in Scripture? There has to be if the original sin produced a race of people uncreated by God, a people wholly unrelated to Adam and therefore not on the Book of Life. One should be careful not to marry into Cain's race. Even before twins were born of the same holy mother and father, God by foreknowledge declared, "Jacob have I loved; Esau have I hated," because Esau would have no respect to the birthright and mar his inheritance, marry into Cain's race, and be at enmity with the children of promise.

Israel's King and Queen: Christ & His Bride

It's important that we have an understanding of racial destiny prophesied in God's Word. If unless we are aware that each racial group is acting-out or fulfilling its destiny foretold in Scripture, we can never recognize that underneath the apparent disorder of world politics is a divine order causing all things to work together for good to them that love God, the "little flock" Jesus has chosen for Himself, not the 2.2 billion who have chosen Him (John 15:16). The majority is always wrong in spiritual judgment. There are two "great mountains" in your Bible, one "cut out of the world without hands . . . will smite the Judaeo-Roman world empire in the feet in the days of the revival of Judaeo-communist Russia, and Judaeo-Roman United States, to become a great mountain, and fill the whole earth when the Kingdom is restored to Israel during the millennium" (Daniel 2:34-35, 40-45). Note God's "Great Mountain," Jesus Christ and His Church, King and Queen, Husband and Wife, one flesh, was broad and numerous in its beginning, whereas its tiny minority today is not recognized by the world church system.

After Daniel interpreted pagan king Nebuchadnezzar's dream he made a 666 cubit high image of the holy man Daniel which he forced his world empire to worship on pain of death. This types Rome's coming 'holy man,' a Devil-incarnate pope ruling Lucifer's one world government, forcing his mark of the beast after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week and martyring 144,000 elect Israelites (Revelation 13:15-18). Three is a witness and although Daniel's companions were cast into the fiery furnace they were redeemed.

God sent Brother Branham "to proclaim the Day of vengeance of our God" (Isaiah 61:2b), and to bring forth the Headstone of God's "Great Mountain," by calling "the wise virgins" out from the world Church system "into the unity of the faith . . . with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it." As "lively stones" we will escape God's wrath and form the Caagsone of the fullness of the Word (Zechariah 4:7; Matthew 25:6; Ephesians 4:13; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 18:4; 22:17-19). The second "great mountain" is the world church system whence we have been called, and which "before Zerubbabel [who typed Brother Branham] shall become a plain" (Daniel 2:35, 45; Zechariah 4:7; 14:9-11).

Those with the faith of Jesus Christ will not try to recreate the good times of the '60s and '70s. And they will not attempt to have revival in the churches. That would be futile. Those days will never return. World conditions, living standards, the economy, etc,. will continue to deteriorate, because we are at the end of the world system. All of man's systems have come to an end and must be burned with fire before God's Millennium can come.

This is God's Word. Prove it! Read II Timothy 3 and 4, Revelation 3:17-20, and Matthew 24. Accept that God's Word is so, and that we have come to the end, so that you don't waste emotional strength and material resources trying to go back to the past. Then learn what God promised He would do in His children in this day, and how He's made provision to take us from the world before destruction.

We need to match Bible prophecy with historical fact or actuality in order to identify God's living Word. For instance in Malachi 4:5 and 6b we read, "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the Lord: and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse".

In the following two verses we have several prophetic facts which sinners mistakenly attribute to John the Baptist:

1) Elijah the prophet will come before the tribulation.

The historical actuality is that 2,000 years have passed since John the Baptist and the great and dreadful Day of the Lord or end of the Gentile dispensation is yet future. So John the Baptist was not THIS Elijah!

2) The prophet will turn the heart of the fathers to the children.

In John's day the fathers were the Old Testament Patriarchs but they died long before Malachi. Had John fulfilled these Words of prophecy in his lifetime a resurrection of the Patriarchs would be required for him to preach to them, and John would have denied the Law of Moses, and all the prophets who came after the Patriarchs.

The fact is, that nearly four years after Jesus' death on Calvary and after Pentecost, John's ministry resulted in the hearts of the apostolic fathers turning to the children born of God's Spirit—both Israelite and Gentile.

3) Elijah will restore the heart of the children to their fathers.

This part of Malachi's prophecy cannot pertain to John since it speaks of the ministry of restoring the apostolic faith which was revealed years after John's beheading. Had this been John, he would have denied the Law of Moses, and the Messiah he forerun, and restored the teachings of the Patriarchs.

The historical fact is that John was the Elijah of Malachi 3:1, "My messenger, shall prepare the way before Me: and the Lord, Whom you seek, shall suddenly come to His Temple, even the Messenger of the (New) Covenant, in Whom you delight. . ." He was not the Elijah of Malachi 4:5 and 6b, who would RESTORE the apostolic faith "before the great and dreadful day of the Lord" for this was William Branham (1909–1965). Neither was John the Elijah who will "restore ALL things that God has spoken by the mouth of ALL His holy prophets since the world began," for this will be the Elijah who, accompanied by a "Moses," will minister to Israel in the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week (Zechariah 4:11-14; Matthew 24:31; Acts 3:21; Revelation 11:3-13).

How could John restore the Fullness of the Word when It was "sealed with Seven Seals unto the time of the end" (Daniel 12:4, 9 and Revelation 10:4)?

According to Jesus, John restored nothing. On the contrary, John "laid the axe to the root of all trees" or the denominational teachings of Pharisees, Sadducees, Herodians, Essenes, Zealots, etc.

4) "After the heart of God's children is restored to the apostolic faith, tribulation plagues will smite the earth and all on it with their curse".

This Elijah was not John, because 2,000 years have passed, and God has not yet smitten the earth with a curse.

Now we know the Jews were looking for Messiah to come and expel the Romans, and restore the throne of David. That will precede the Millennium and the THIRD (or second physical) Coming of the glorified Jesus. Israel wanted a General but God sent a Baby according to His Word.

The Pharisees asked John if he was the Christ. When he said "No," they asked, "Are you the Elijah of Malachi 4:5, 6b"? Again he said, "No"! They asked, "If you're not Messiah and you're not the Elijah of Malachi 4:5, 6b, who are you"? John replied, "I'm the Elijah of Malachi 3:1, the Elijah of Isaiah 40:3." Read it—John 1:19-26.

John knew who he was, and he knew his Commission. So did the Holy Spirit speaking through an angel to his father, Zacharias, "And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." The Holy Spirit identified John as the Elijah of Malachi 3:1 whose ministry would also fulfil the first part of Malachi 4:6.

Before God can do anything of great moment, He must first signify it in the heavens (Psalm 19:1-5), and reveal It through a prophet (Amos 3:7). So before God can end the Gentile dispensation, he has to send a prophet. And according to the Scriptures we've just read, this prophet will first restore the apostolic faith; then he will "finish the mystery of God" concealed under the Seven Seals of the Book of Revelation.

Whoever the prophet was, he came from America, because Zechariah 14:7 and Matthew 24:27-28 foretell the same S-O-N—Light that rose in Jerusalem in the East will be restored in the West or evening-time just before the close of our Dispensation. We know he will come to a morally depraved Gentile civilization like Sodom and Gomorrah. We know his ministry will reveal Jesus Christ veiled behind flesh again by the Sign that revealed God in the Son of Man, and veiled behind the created Man in the days of Lot (Luke 17:28-30; Genesis 18; Hebrews 4:12).

We know God will vindicate this prophet by discerning the thoughts and intents of people's hearts "as it was in the days of Lot," by raising the dead, healing the sick, restoring sight to the blind, and casting out demons.

So if we can match Bible prophecy with historic fact or actuality, we've identified God's living vindicated Word. And we're bound to receive the prophet's Message and prove It from Genesis through to Revelation to ensure we have the mind of Christ in us. I believe that prophet was the late William Branham. There are many such articles on Bible Believers' web site which you may study in conjunction with the Bible.

We will follow this same process of matching Bible prophecy with historical fact to discover just who is Esau/Edom today!

The Edomites are the descendants of Esau who had the birthright as Isaac's firstborn son, and they were his offspring but as he had married two Serpent seed women he committed genocide on the seed of Adam, Abraham and Isaac. By intermarriage with the seed of Cain he became the end of the Adamic race in his branch of the family. Had Esau possessed the faith of his grandfather Abraham, he would have known that as possessor of the birthright, "all the king's horses and all the king's men" could not have killed him. God's promise had to flow through Esau so long as he respected the birthright. And, my Brother or Sister, if you are truly born of the Word of God for this day Satan cannot destroy you, because God has promised He will translate the end-time Bride. She won't see death in the flesh, but will change in the atoms. So against all hope, believe in hope and hold fast to His Promise.

If you have a Roman Catholic Bible, two of its extra-canonical books, Maccabees I and II relate the history of many successful revolts against the Romans by the noble Maccabee family who ruled Idumea for about one hundred years.

According to The New Standard Jewish Encyclopedia (1977 p. 589; and Encyclopaedia Judaica 1971, Vol. 6, p 378), "Judah Maccabee's son, John Hyrcanus, conquered the whole of Edom and undertook the forced conversion of its inhabitants to Judaism".

Josephus, the Jewish historian, informs us: ". . . Hyrcanus. . . took Medaba. . . Samega, and the neighbouring places, and, besides these, Shechem and Gerizzim, and the nation of the Cutheans, who dwelt at the temple which resembled that temple which was at Jerusalem . . . Hyrcanus took also Dora and Marissa, cities of Idumea, and subdued all the Idumeans; and . . . they submitted to the use of circumcision, and the rest of the Jewish ways of living; at which time therefore this befell them, that they were hereafter no other than Jews" (Antiquities of the Jews, Bk. 13, ch. 9, sec. I).

In an article on "Edom," The Jewish Encyclopedia (1925 edition), has this statement:

[In 163BC] "Judas Maccabeus conquered their territory for a time. They were again subdued by John Hyrcanus [about 129BC], by whom they were forced to observe Jewish rites and laws. They were then incorporated with the Jewish nation, and their country was called by the Greeks and Romans, "Idumea." With Antipater began the Idumean dynasty that ruled over Judea till its conquest by the Romans . . . From this time the Idumeans ceased to be a separate people . . ."

So a hundred years before Christ, Judah was inhabited by Edomites and native Israelites who were both followers of Talmudic Judaism, seeming to heal the breach between Jacob and Esau. But the Edomites proved to be a discordant element. And in 37BC, Herod the Great (74-4BC), an Idumean or Edomite whose wife Mariamne was a Maccabean, became at the age of 36, undisputed ruler of Judea. Pharisees gained ascendancy over the Sadducees, and there were so many Edomites in the population at the time of Christ that the land was called Idumea (Mark 3:8).

The Edomites participated in the defence of Jerusalem against the Romans during Titus' siege (AD66-70). According to The Jewish Encyclopedia (1904, Vol. V, p 41), "Immediately before the siege of Jerusalem 20,000 Idumeans appeared before Jerusalem to fight in behalf of the Zealots who were besieged in the Temple." More than a million inhabitants of Judea died and 97,000 were taken captive. An unknown number had fled either before or during the siege".

What is fascinating is that this is the last mention in history of the Edomites as a people. Yet Bible prophecy indicates that Edom would be an enemy of Israel in the latter days, and we find that their only connection to a present-day people and religion is with the so-called Jews and Rabbinism, or Judaism. As the Edomites are accursed of God, we may assume their disappearance from historical records was intentional, [just as the country and people of Khazaria never appeared in your school history and geography books, or in any atlas], for we see that they stole or assumed the identity of another race. An interesting observation is that the policy of the Illuminati is always to act under another name and a different occupation. So in order to find out who and where these Edomites are today, we must discover who the Jews are today.

A glance at the Encyclopaedia Britannica or any Jewish encyclopedia under "Statistics" will reveal that the Jews of today fall within two main groups—the Sephardic and the Ashkenazi Jew.

The Sepharvaim are also known as "Spanish Jews" and descended from the Canaanites who colonized Carthage. Following its sack by Rome, they adopted this name for deceptive purposes and constitute 5% of world Jewry today.

The Ashkenazim are the "East European Jews" found in Poland, Russia, Germany and Western Asia and constitute over 90% of the so-called "Jews" in the world. The remainder include genuine blood Israelites among whom 144,000 are the elect of God.

The most eminent scholars and historians of Jewry agree that most Ashkenazi Jews come from the Khazars. According to The Jewish Encyclopedia, (Vol. V, (1904), p 41), the Khazars are "A people of Turkish origin whose life and history are interwoven with the very beginnings of the history of the Jews in Russia . . . Historical evidence points to the region of the Urals as the home of the Khazars".

Ashkenazi Jewish author and historian, the late Arthur Koestler agreed that the large majority of Jews are of Khazar and not Semitic origin. "That their ancestors came not from the Jordan but from the Volga, not from Canaan, but from the Caucasus; . . . and that genetically they are more closely related to the Hun, Uigur and Magyar tribes than to the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" (The Thirteenth Tribe, p. 17).

Historian H.G. Wells states, ". . . the Idumeans (Edomites) were . . . made Jews, . . . and a Turkish people (Khazars) were mainly Jews in South Russia . . . The main part of Jewry never was in Judea and had never come out of Judea" (The Outline of History, 3rd Edition., p 494). According to The Jewish Encyclopedia (Vol. IV, (1905), p 3), the original stock of the Khazars came from the land of Edom.

The Jewish Encyclopedia tells us that "Edom is modern Jewry." This witness from the 1905 edition records the connection between modern-day Jews and the race of Edom: "Some anthropologists are inclined to associate the racial origins of the Jews, not with the Semites, whose language they adopted, but with the Armenians and Hittites of Mesopotamia, whose broad skulls and curved noses they appear to have inherited" (The Jewish Encyclopedia, (1905), Vol. X, p 284).

When we speak about the racial mixtures that brought about the Jews of today, we must highlight events surrounding the Babylonian captivity of Judah which included some from the Tribes of Benjamin, Levi and Simeon, taken by Nebuchadnezzar to Babylon. At the same time Edom was put under Babylonian rule, causing some Edomites to be brought to Babylon along with kindred races from Sidon and Tyre (Jeremiah 27:2-7).

When the Medes and Persians overthrew Babylon, Cyrus issued an edict (538BC) allowing Judah to return and rebuild the temple (Ezra 1:1-5). However, only 50,000 returned to Palestine (Ezra 2:64-65). Many preferred to remain in Babylon, having intermarried with Babylonians and Edomites and their religion and law—the Babylonian Talmud, synagogue and rabbis, which became the foundation for Pharisaism in the time of Jesus and practiced today under the present name "Judaism." Queen Esther said, "many of the people of the land [from India to Ethiopia] became Jews. . ." (Esther 8:17).

It was the Israelite historian Josephus whom Jews consider a traitor, writing for the instruction of Greeks and Romans, who coined the term "Judaism," in order to pit it against Hellenism (the civilization, culture, customs, manners, science poetry, that had spread from Greece). The Jews themselves, who detested Josephus, refrained from reading his works. Hence the term "Judaism" was unknown to the Jews until comparatively recent times.

Although called "Jews," an abbreviation for "Judeans," the people were hybridized with the Canaanites, Babylonians, Edomites, Hittites, Judahites, etc., They migrated to other lands over the centuries, but they retained their identity as "Jews," or so-called Judahites, and brought with them the religion of Babylon. These racially mixed "Jews" were among the 50,000 who returned to Jerusalem (Ezra 2:62; Nehemiah 7:64; 13:3).

Let us recognize that the original meaning of the word "Jew" did not signify a race of people, or a religion. It signified ALL who lived in a geographic area called Judea, except for the Romans. In the days of Jesus, it is probably true that most of the residents of Jerusalem were Edomites, for with the exception of Judas, Jesus chose His disciples from Galilee (Acts 2:7). Jesus returned to the Capitol to fulfil the prophecy that His enemies, the Canaanite Jews, would crucify Him.

The words "Jew" and "Judean" had only a geographic import until after the death and resurrection of Jesus. The only people who held the name "Jew" were those who rejected Jesus Christ, and whose descendants still do.

Intermarriage with Canaanites, Edomites and Hittites was forbidden by the Almighty. It constitutes "genocide," a word coined by self-styled Polish Jew, Raphael Lemkin, meaning "the extermination of an entire race." Scripture identifies the Canaanites, Hittites and Hivites as among the descendants of Cain who was Serpent seed, and "cherem." Esau married two Serpent seed women and one Ishmaelite wife. Their children, the Edomites, intermarried with the Horites, Amalekites and other Serpent seed peoples (Genesis 26:34; 27:46; 28:9; 36:3, 19-21; Numbers 24:7; I Samuel 15:8-9, 20, 32-33; Esther 3:1; Josephus 11.20).

Intermarriage with Edom spelled genocide to most of Abraham's race through Isaac and Jacob. This was the strategy of their vicarious father, Lucifer, who injected himself vicariously into the human race in the Garden of Eden when the Serpent seduced Eve. The offspring of this illegal union was Cain. Satan purposed to cross Cain's race with that of Adam. The offspring being Serpent's seed, and Lucifer would fall heir to Michael (Christ's) kingdom.

Esau, Isaac's first-born, despised the birthright when he traded it for a meal of red lentils. Esau/Edom is now seeking to steal It back by the same method Lucifer used to spoil Adam's race—lust. Esau/Edom has already stolen Jacob's identity and is intermarrying to try and steal back his birthright.

There's not one positive statement in the Bible regarding Esau/Edom. To help us find the Edomites we must recognize that God hates Esau and his descendants. And his hand is against God and against God's people—the blood descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, natural Israel—and also Spiritual Israel, Christ's true Church. Esau will try to hide his true identity, knowing that if God hates him, God's people will also be against him.

I ask you, who is it that seeks to conceal their identity as Edom, the one God will never forgive (Malachi 1:4), by claiming to be Israel whom God loves and calls "the apple of his eye"? Only one people react as though God hates them, and that is the self-styled Jews.

No one on earth hates Israel like these non-Semitic anti-Semitic self-styled Jews. These are the most hate-filled, racist people on earth. They engineer disunity among people via the many and varied groups they sponsor and control—often at taxpayer expense. These masters of the Hegelian dialectic point the finger of righteous scorn from afar and manage both sides of the conflict to its predetermined outcome (Genesis 3:15).

Through organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith they monitor situations of their own making, "sending forth spies which should feign themselves just men" (Luke 20:20), to muzzle free speech on the Internet, in the street or the Press, to combat "hate" and "hate groups," outlaw gun ownership, erode national defences, demonstrate for "equality," "human rights" and "civil liberties" for criminals (like Barabbas), legal abortions, homosexuality, prostitution, narcotics, gambling, and to introduce the filthy debauchery espoused by the Talmud contrary to the Law and the Prophets, like pederasty, Sanhedrin 55a-b, and to destroy Christian values.

Why is it predominately self-styled Jews who promote these "anti-hate laws" and other "hate crime" legislation? Why would Edomites write Bible commentaries and infiltrate churches and seminaries to persuade Christians to imagine God loves everybody, and that "all men are created equal"?

Their purpose is self-preservation, for Cain said, "it will come to pass that every one that finds me shall slay me" (Genesis 4:13). They know they are the "people against whom God has indignation forever" (Malachi 1:4). God hates and has indignation against the self-styled Edomite Jews who press the lie that they are "God's Chosen People".

Now you can understand why the Jews hate and persecute Israelites. Why they treated them as they did in World War II, and why today genuine Semitic Palestinians and Israelites are treated as second-class citizens in Israel. And why according to the Jerusalem Post, mass graves of Israelites and Palestinians have been discovered in Israel recently.

The self-styled Jews are possibly the only group never to have had a homeland. Henry Ford called them "International Jews" because, as vagabonds, they wander the world as God foretold (Genesis 4:9-15). They enjoy the benefits of their host country, while contributing nothing. And although Jews have appeared in the histories of other nations throughout the centuries, they were never able or willing to establish a nation of their own. The only way they got Palestine from the Turks, Arabs and Hebrews was to persuade others to steal it for them.

It is plain to see where the spirit of "globalism," "Internationalism" and "multiculturalism" originated. Cain was a wanderer—not that he didn't have a permanent address. But he had no inheritance in the earth—no country. He was a globalist or internationalist. Who established the League of Nations and United Nations? Was it Jews, or was it Israelites? It could not have been Israelites in the faith revealed through Moses and the prophets, which absolutely forbids confederations such as the League and UN the Jews established (Isaiah 8:12).

The self-styled Jew has not willingly settled in the Promised Land because he is a wanderer like his father Cain, with no inheritance in the earth. The creation of the State of Israel was one of the real as opposed to the ostensible aims of the Second World War. This aim was a strategic objective of the Zionist International Communist Conspiracy. Within hours of the ending of the British mandate in Palestine, the US and Russia recognized the State of Israel, and during the "truce" in the Israeli-Arab war, an aerial ferry was working constantly between Czechoslovakia and Israel, bring-in arms from behind the Iron Curtain. The USSR and its satellites, the State of Israel, and the US Administration—not the citizens of the USA—are all aspects of the International Communist Conspiracy.

Communism is NOT dead. Dmitri Manuilski, Russian delegate to the UN said, "The bourgeoisie will have to be put to sleep. So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movement on record . . . The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to join in their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends. As soon as their guard is down, we will smash them with our clenched fist." We are presently experiencing this "peace offensive" which was launched by Khrushchev in 1956.

Brother Branham said that America had her last chance in 1956. God reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets. He said, "It's a hybrid. This America has become condemned. We're just being honeycombed with Communism."

The State of Israel is a parasitic state, stealing billions from Germany for alleged war crimes and billions from the USA. Their international power is built upon the exact opposite of the Mosaic Law. To quote the Jew Samuel Roth: "Our major vice of old, as of today, is parasitism. We are a people of vultures living on the labour and good nature of the rest of the world . . .

What a sorry spectacle the Jew makes on this continent which he pretends to have enriched! Not only does he fail to contribute any glamour (culture and art) to the scene. He does not even contribute man-power. He does not dig wells, plough fields, forge skyscrapers, lay bricks, cut out trenches, spin wheels, bake dough, fell trees, pack tin cans, sweep streets, heave coal, fire furnaces, weave cloth, dig subways, raise ramparts, wall floods, rivet bridges, hinge gates, or fight fires . . . Towards the man-power of America, Jewry contributes only that which it catches in its own sweatshops, as in so many rat traps—set by itself. It seems to be part of the Jew's unwritten code that he should never work. Unless something happens to change his vision, I venture to add that he never will, either. . . I cannot find anything of value that Jews have created in their 250 years residence on the American continent" (Samuel Roth, Jews Must Live, The Golden Hind Press, New York, (1934) pp. 56, 101. 108)

Henry Ford wrote, "The genius of the Jew is to live off people; not off the land, nor off the production of commodities from raw material, but off people. Let other people till the soil; the Jew, if he can, will live off the tiller. Let other people toil at trades and manufacturers; the Jew will exploit the fruits of their work. That is his peculiar genius." (The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem, Dearborn Publishing Co. —1921, Vol. II, p 31).

The Ashkenazi Jew from Poland, David Gruen, better known as David Ben Gurion, who headed the Marxist Mapam Party as first President of Israel declared: "A Jew, who does not live in Israel, lives in sin." God does not deal with Israel outside the Promised Land. Outside the Land he cannot observe his sabbath because he is outside the Covenant and a hypocrite.

We see this typed in the Old Testament where Jacob, Joseph and the saints of old insisted upon being buried in the Promised Land because it was God's Covenant Promise to Israel and his place of rest. They knew that every Israelite in the Covenant would be resurrected, and the land of Israel is the only place where God's old Covenant can be in effect.

The conflict between the self-styled Jews and the rest of the world has now escalated to International Law. Hence the Jewish war against nationalism, national independence and sovereignty through the UN and the media. When a nation becomes a member of the United Nations it surrenders its sovereignty and independent status and becomes subject to the International Law of Edom, and is not free to decide its own destiny. This was evident in the recent Gulf War where America did not act according to Congressional Act pursuant to its Constitution, but to a UN Resolution. America, (once) Great Britain, Australia and the rest of the so-called Free World are no longer sovereign nations, but subject to the dictates of the Edomite-controlled UN. The World Program we follow is a Jewish program.

"Jewry's political outlook is world rule in the material sense (as evident in Communism). Jewry is an international nation. It is this, and nothing else, which gives significance to its financial, educational, propagandist, revolutionary and immigration programs" (The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem, Dearborn Publishing Co. —1921, Vol. III, p 178).

The Two Most Contrasting Religions

Babylonian Judaism from the Talmud	Christianity from the Bible
Approves of Sodomy: "If one committed sodomy with a child of less than nine years, no guilt is incurred" (Sanhedrin 54b).	Prohibits Sodomy: "Thou shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination" (Leviticus 18:22).
Approves of Child Sacrifice to Idols: "He who gives of his seed to Molech incurs no punishment" (Sanhedrin 64a).	Prohibits Child Sacrifice to Idols: "Whoever gives any of his seed to Molech: he shall surely be put to death" (Leviticus 20:2).
Cursing Parents Allowed: "One who curses his parents isn't punished unless he curses them by Divine name" (Sanhedrin 66a).	Cursing Parents Prohibited: "He that curses his father or mother, shall be put to death" (Exodus 21:17, Matthew 15:4).
Allows Enchanting: "It is permitted to consult by a charm the spirits of oil and eggs, and make incantations" (Sanhedrin 101a).	Disallows Enchanting: "None of you shall be an enchanter or a charmer, or consulter with familiar spirits" (Deuteronomy 18:10-11).
Bestiality Condoned: "Women having intercourse with a beast can marry a priest, the act is but a mere wound" (Yebamoth 59b).	Bestiality Condemned: "You shall not lie with any beast, nor shall any woman stand before a beast to lie with it" (Leviticus 18:23).
Harlotry Lawful: "A harlot's hire is permitted, for what the woman has received is legally a gift" (Abodah Zarah 62b-63a).	Harlotry Unlawful: "She that plays the whore in her father's house shall be put to death" (Deuteronomy 22:21).
Blasphemy Allowed: "One can revile the Divine Name if mentally applying it to some other object" (Sanhedrin 65a-b).	Blasphemy Punishable: "He that blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death" (Leviticus 24:16).
Not required to Keep Vows: One may declare: "Every vow which I may make in the future shall be null" (Nedarim 23a-23b).	Required to Keep Vows: "If a man vows, he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that he spoke" (Numbers).
Murder Condoned: "If ten men smote a man with ten staves and he died, they are exempt from punishment" (Sanhedrin 78a).	Murder Forbidden: "He that smites a man with a stave so he dies, he is a murderer and shall be put to dearth" (Numbers 35:18).

According to The Jewish Encyclopaedia, (Vol. XII (1905) p 1), The Talmud is Judaism's Holiest Book, "the product of the Palestinian and Babylonian schools" and is generally called "the Babylonian Talmud." The Pharisees were adherents of this Babylonian thought, and it was this thought and religion which Christ was always at war against. Christ rebuked them saying, "You reject the commandments of God, so that you may keep your own [Babylonian] tradition" (Matthew 15:3-9). Judaism and Christianity are poles apart. The opposition between these two systems is as radical today as it was in the days of Jesus. But Judaism is not only derived from "Babylonian thought, but also "from Canaanite religious practices," according to The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, (Vol. VI, (1942) p. 235).

The Jews, like their Edomite, Canaanite, Pharisaic and Babylonian ancestors, also reject the commandments of God. This rejection and defiance of God is what Judaism is based upon. As the Jew Bernard Lazare revealed: "It is the Jews who originated biblical exegesis (a critical analysis of the Bible), just as they were the first to criticize the forms and doctrines of Christianity . . . Truly has Darmesteter written: "The Jew was the apostle of unbelief, and every revolt of mind originated with him" (Antisemitism: It's History and Causes, Britons Publishing Co., 1967, pp 149-151).

Jesus flagrantly rejected these "Traditions of the Elders" we know as the Talmud. These traditions blinded the eyes of the People to a true understanding of the prophecies which related to the Coming of Messiah in His day as they do today. Like Cain and headstrong Esau, the Talmud defies God.

God said, "I will put enmity between the Serpent and the woman, and between the Serpent seed and her seed . . ." (Genesis 3:15). The Jew Maurice Samuel well explained this irreconcilable conflict between the seed of Cain and the children of Adam: "There are two life forces in the world I know: Jewish and Gentile, ours and yours . . . I do not believe that this primal difference between Gentile and Jew is reconcilable. You and we may come to an understanding, never to a reconciliation. There will be irritation between us as long as we are in intimate contact. For nature and constitution and vision divide us from all of you forever" (You Gentiles, Harcourt, Brace & Co, New York, 1924, pp. 19, 23).

The following excerpts from the Talmud demonstrate the "perpetual hatred" of Jews Esau/Edom toward natural Jacob/Israel and Spiritual Israel or Christians in particular.

It is allowed to cheat a Gentile and take usury of him (Baba Mezia 61a, Abhodah Zarah 54a).
The goyim [Christians] are regarded as unclean (Schabbath 145b, Abhodah Zarah 22b).
It is not allowed to rob a brother Jew, but to rob a gentile is allowed (Baba Mezia 61a; Sanhedrin 57a).
Goyim are not like men but are as animals (Kerithuth 6b). The seed of a goy is worth the same as that of a beast (Kethuboth 3b; Baba Mecia 114, 6).
A Jew must not enter the home of a Christian (Gittin 62a).
The goyim are not to be cured or helped when sick, even for money (Abodah Zarah 27b; Iore Dea 158, 1).
It is permitted to deceive a goy (Babha Kama 113b). Jews must try to deceive Christians (Zohar I, 160a).
A Jew may lie and perjure himself to condemn a Christian (Babha Kama 113a-113b).
A Jew shall not do injury to other Jews, but the law does not prohibit injury to a goy (Mishna Sanhedryn 57).
