Bible Believers' Newsletter 1279
"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; we are pleased you could join with us once again in fellowship around God's unchanging Word and happy to see you.
We congratulate President Vladimir Putin on his well-deserved electoral victory. More than 80% of the Russians voted for the acting president Putin. The 2024 Russian presidential election was the manifestation of a thriving democracy, a democracy that works, a democracy defined by Russians. It seems that the CIA and British Intelligence directed the bloody terrorism at the Moscow musical festival.
We understand that the Old Testament established shadows and Types under the Law now unfolding under grace in the New Testament through the Seven Church Ages, Seven Seals, Seven Trumpets and Seven Vials to establish us in the present Truth" en route to the manifestation of the Sons of God, our Body Change and the Millennium. Today we will be studying Old Testament types in the Seven Seals.
Errata: I confess to a small mathematical error in Newsletter 1278. We have four keys to the timing of the end of the Gentile dispensation. We could calculate forward from Leviticus 23:28 and AD1977 which Brother Branham said was the Seventieth Jubilee, or we could calculate back to establish the first Nisan 14 and the first harvest of barley sown as a nation. We could also calculate from "the acceptable year of the Lord" when Jesus Christ announced His public ministry in Autumn AD27 – Autumn AD28, remembering He was crucified in AD30 (Isaiah 42:6-9; 49:6-9; 61:2a; Luke 4:16-19) or count the number of "Good Fridays."
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.Your brother-in-Christ

Russia will be remembered as a Pioneer of the Multipolar World, daring to challenge the Globalist System
March 20, 2024 — More than 80% of the Russians voted for the acting president Putin. Western schemes in Russia have failed miserably.
Russia will enter the annals of history as avant-garde of the multipolar world who dared to challenge the Globalist system at the height of its power. Whereas, President Putin will be remembered as the liberator of his own people, and Ukraine; Volodymir Zelensky and the Western elites forcing him to lead this suicidal war against Russia will be seen as the dangerous villains and madmen they are. At the moment, we only know for sure that Zelensky will not be the president of Ukraine for long. But, how he'll leave the stage of Postmodern democracy simulation—either assassinated by his Neo-Fascist allies, his Western puppet masters, suicide, or overthrown by his own people and incarcerated in a Russian prison—that's still open for debate . . .

Comment: There is zero evidence for this lie, and it is even more outlandish than the lie that if Vietnam falls to the communists, that will be just the first "domino" and all the others will fall and the Soviet Union and/or communist China will take over the world. Russia actually had no motivation to invade Ukraine until the US carried out a coup, which overthrew and replaced Ukraine's neutralist Government and installed a rabidly anti-Russian one in 2014. NATO nations unanimously refused to negotiate with Russia regarding Russia's longstanding national-security red line against Ukraine.
After that 7 January 2022 rejection by NATO—refusal even to negotiate about the matter—Russia had a national-security necessity to take action, and nothing less than an invasion of Ukraine could be that required action, It was forced by NATO, upon Russia. The imperialistic aggressive power here is America (the virtual owner of the NATO alliance), NOT Russia . . .
Not only was NATO created by the US regime in 1949 in order for the regime to be able to conquer Russia, but even the EU was created by the US Government for the same purpose . . . member-nations of NATO and the EU take their instructions regarding their international relations from the US Government and its agents. Europe's nations have virtually no sovereignty but are mere colonies of their dictator (ever since 25 July 1945), the US regime, which is controlled by its billionaires. America's aristocracy controls each of its colonies' aristocracies. There can be no democracy in an empire . . . The war in Ukraine: it is an imperialistic war by the US.regime and its colonies, against Russia . . . waged (till now) in the battlefields of Ukraine. (globalresearch.ca).
US-Trained Niger Junta kicks out US Troops, Drone Base
March 19 2024 — Col. Maj. Amadou Abdramane, a spokesperson for Niger's ruling junta, took to the national television network on Saturday to denounce the United States and end the long-standing counterterrorism partnership between the two countries . . . declaring that the security pact, in effect since 2012, violated Niger's constitution.
The announcement came in the wake of spiking terrorist violence in the West African Sahel and on the heels of a visit to Niger by a high-level US delegation that included top officials from the State and Defense Departments, as well as Gen. Michael Langley, the chief of US Africa Command, or AFRICOM . . . Langley failed to mention that at least 15 officers who benefited from US security assistance have been involved in 12 coups in West Africa and the greater Sahel during the war on terror, including Burkina Faso (2014, 2015, and twice in 2022); Guinea (2021); Mali (2012, 2020, and 2021); and Niger (2023). At least five leaders of the July 2023 coup in Niger received American assistance: US official. The coup leaders, in turn, appointed five US-trained members of the Nigerien security forces to serve as that country's governors. Full story: theintercept.com
Yemeni Armed Forces Conduct Drills in Preparation for Possible Imperialist Ground Invasion
March 21, 2024 — US & British Warplanes have conducted regular bombing operations against Yemen in a failed attempt to lessen its capacity in the Palestine solidarity struggle.
Is Israel's criminal attack on the People of Palestine calculated to widen the war leaving Iran to the USA, Lebanon to France and Palestine with its oil and gas to Israel? US-NATO war ships—including two aircraft carriers, combat planes and a nuclear submarine—are deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Red Sea which Jew-controlled Western politicians and media casually describe as "Palestine's Aggression against the Jewish State." Hence resistance forces in Yemen have been the targets in US and British efforts to halt the country's blockade against Israeli ports. "Hezbollah fighters continue to target Israeli occupation military sites and soldiers for the 165th day in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance in the Gaza Strip. Consequently, the struggle against the genocide in Gaza cannot be halted through the aggressive actions of the IDF and the duplicitous statements made by the US Unless widespread changes are made within the imperialist construct in the West Asia and North Africa regions, the imperialist states led by the US will be forced to wage yet another disastrous war which will further weaken its internal and external capabilities to exercise world hegemony Full story: globalresearch.ca.
UK Lawmaker stuns Parliament with Call for Members of 'Covid Cabal' to face Death Penalty
March 17, 2014 — British Member of Parliament Andrew Bridgen last week called for the death penalty for Bill Gates and the "Covid cabal" which he said committed "crimes against humanity" during the Covid pandemic. "Heads of governments around the world and others below them have engaged in what is tantamount to treason against the public," declared Bridgen in response to a rebuttal from his colleague Penny Mordaunt, who is a long-term World Economic Forum (WEF) member . . .

CLIMATE THE MOVIE: The Cold Truth on Global Warming
25 March 2024 — This is the dramatic story of how an eccentric environmental speculation grew into a powerful global scare industry; it is the story of the corruption of science, the defrauding of taxpayers, the destruction of reliable energy, the bullying of anyone who dares question the narrative and a hidden agenda for shortages, rationing, environmental destruction and global control. The film exposes the climate alarm as an invented scare without any basis in science. It emphatically counters the claim that current temperatures and levels of atmospheric CO2 are unusually and worryingly high. In fact, we are currently near the end of a warm interlude in an ice age and there is no evidence that changing levels of CO2 (it has changed many times) has ever 'driven' climate change in the past.

Genocide, Coup d’Etat and Militarization: Palestine and Haiti
The Zionist genocide of the Palestinian people and the political and socio-economic crisis in Haiti both have their origins in their respective episodes of destructive foreign intervention in the first decades of the last century . . . In the case of Haiti, its successful struggle for independence at the beginning of the 19th century was stifled by the aggressive imperialist extortion of France and the ruthless harassment of the imperial powers in the Caribbean region, until the invasion and occupation of the country by the United States from 1915 to 1934. In the case of Palestine, for four hundred years it was a territory ruled by the Ottoman Empire until the British military occupation at the end of the First World War, which ended the hopes for independence of the population, at that time 90% Arab.
So in their contemporary history, Haiti and Palestine have a common starting point a hundred years ago with their military occupation by Western powers. In Haiti, the Yankee occupation bequeathed the country chronic political instability that ended with the dictatorship of the Duvalier family. In Palestine, the end of the British occupation led to the imposition of a colonial state based on ethnic cleansing and racist Zionist supremacy. In both cases, the Western powers justified their inhumane actions with the usual hypocritical cynicism, claiming that their intention was to promote and defend democracy . . .

The Seven Seals
"Remember, Paul come at the end of the age. All the messengers come at the end of the age. It's at the end time, when these things are brought forth."
"Paul, knowing the Scriptures and knowing that Jesus was Messiah blasted those synagogues from place to place with the Scriptures, and was put out of every one of them. Till finally, he shook the dust from his feet and turned to the Gentiles. What was it? Sounding of a trumpet; an angel, messenger, standing there with the Word! Oh, my! Don't you miss that now? The Word! And Paul, with the unadulterated interpretation of God's Word, blasted every one of them synagogues. Cost him his life" (62-1230E, Sirs, Is this the Time, par. 270-272).
Brother Branham said, "God guided the Magi with them gifts. For practically two years they followed that Star. And that shows It couldn't be one of the natural things that happened. See? Because if the stars, crossing their orbits . . . it would showed there was something different . . . unless those Magi saw It, long time before it happened, and knowed they had to cross that way . . . And they crossed just at Bethlehem at that time, started from up there, beforehand, knowing that these heavenly bodies were moving that way."
"Now, God guided the Magi because they had the right gifts. God guided these wise men because they had the right gift to identify His Son. Oooooh, my! Do you get it? Wise men today, wise in the Name of the Lord, not with some fictitious something, but with the gift that God promised for this day (Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 17:11; Luke 17:28-30). God will guide you to identify that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. There you are: wise men!"
"God guided those gifts because they were the gifts to identify Him. Wise men, today, who can look away from church-anity and all the things of the world, to the Living Word of God! And God will identify His Son by His Word, because That's what He is. "I and My Father are one." And, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." And the same Word today, He's the same yesterday, today and forever. And a wise man follows That, because That's what God takes care of to identify Himself by It. Amen! A gift! A real, identified gift of God, God brings that to the earth, a thing like that, to identify Himself by."
"And that's how Christ was identified: by gold, myrrh, and frankincense, by them men foreshadowing and showing in type what His life was to be. See? Deity manifested for service, to die that He might redeem the nation, because He was to "save His people from their sin." Not save the world, save His people from their sin. The Bible said here, "For in His Name will the Gentiles trust." See? The Gentiles will trust in His Name. Amen! In other words, the Bride, the called-out of the Gentiles, will be trusting in the Name of Jesus Christ, "In His Name shall the Gentiles trust" (Matthew 12:21) . . . the gifts that they were giving, were "fitting to the time."
Nahum 1:5-6 prophesied the manifestation of the Sixth Seal, Seventh Trumpet and Seventh Vial at the close of our Christ-rejecting Gentile dispensation as He foretold the utter destruction of Nineveh which backslid a hundred and thirty six after God's grace. "The mountains quake at Him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at His presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. Who can stand before His indignation? And who can abide in the fierceness of His anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by Him" (Nahum 1:7-8; 3:7, 11, 18-19; II Peter 3:10; Revelation 19:20; 20:10).
The totality of the April 8, 2024 Great American Solar Eclipse will be visible in a narrow strip on the Pacific Ocean passing 200nm north of the Marquesas Islands and in North America, beginning at the Pacific coast, then ascending in a northeasterly direction through Mexico, the United States, and Canada, before ending in the Atlantic Ocean. It will pass through Jonah ("Dove"), Texas; followed by Nineveh, Texas; Rapture, Indiana, meaning "translation" or "catching up," and five Nineveh's in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Nova Scotia. Names "fitting to the time." Six is either 4 plus 2, man's world with man's enmity to God: or 5 plus 1, the grace of God made of none effect by man's addition, perversion, or corruption of it: or 7 minus 1, i.e., man's coming short of spiritual perfection. In any case, therefore, it has to do with man; it is the number of imperfection; the human number; the number of MAN as destitute of God, without God, without Christ. This will take place under the constellation Cetus, which is the sea monster or whale.
The upcoming Great American eclipse on April 8, 2024 in conjunction with the annular solar eclipse of October 2023 and the Great American eclipse of August 2017 [right] may be signaling a huge cross over the United States and the close of the Gentile dispensation. "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty".
Tonight, March 25, 2024 there will be a penumbral Lunar Eclipse in which the Moon will be immersed in 97% of Earth's shadow—four days before Good Friday on March 29; the first full Moon after the Spring equinox. It no doubt has a significance as in Brother Branham's teaching on the Church Ages, after he had drawn the Church Ages on his black board leaving a sliver of light for Laodicea, the Holy Ghost came and confirmed his drawing but blacked out Laodicea.
"Matthew 24 mentions signs in the heavens concerning this last day just before Jesus comes. I wonder if you noticed such a sign recently fulfilled as to portray the very truth we have been discussing. That truth is that Jesus has been steadily pushed aside until in the last age He was pushed outside the church. Recall that in the first age it was almost a full orbed Church of truth. Yet there was a little error called the deeds of the Nicolaitanes that kept the circle from being full. Then in the next age more darkness crept in until the ball of light glowed less, and darkness covered more of the circle. In the third age it was eclipsed still more; the fourth age was the Dark Ages, the light had all but gone."
"The Church shines in the reflected light of Christ. He is the SUN. The church is the MOON. Thus this orb of light is the moon. It had decreased from almost a full moon in the first age, to a sliver in the fourth age. But in the fifth age it began to grow. In the sixth it took a great step of growth forward. In part of the seventh age it was still growing, suddenly it stopped short, and waned to almost nothingness, so that instead of light it was the blackness of apostasy, and at the end of the age it had ceased to shine for darkness had taken over. Christ was now outside the church".
"Here is the sign in the sky. The last eclipse of the moon was a total eclipse. It waned to a total darkness in seven stages. In the seventh stage, the total darkness came as the Pope of Rome (Paul the Sixth) went to Palestine to make a holy tour of Jerusalem. He was the first pope ever to go to Jerusalem. The pope is named Paul the Sixth. Paul was the first messenger and this man goes by that name. Notice it is the sixth, the number of man. This is more than a coincidence. And when he went to Jerusalem, the moon or the church went into total darkness. This is it. This is the end. This generation shall not pass away until all is fulfilled. Even so Lord Jesus, come quickly" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 357:1)!
Brother Branham said, "This America is the prostitute of the nations" (61-0108, Revelation Chapter Four, Part III, 661:87-88). America is a national hybrid. And like the Amorites, her iniquity is just about full. She is the world leader in science but she also leads the world in sin. The Prophet said civilization has travelled from the East to the West "picking up sin all the time as it came . . . and the most corruptible place that I know of is on the West Coast . . . Hollywood, the very hole of hell" (63-0116, Evening Messenger, 10:68).
"And after the Church is taken away, Rome and the Jews will make a covenant with one another. The Bible said they would, with the holy people. And now notice, they'll make it, because why? This nation is going to be busted, and the rest of the world that's on the gold standard is busted. You know that. If we're living off of taxes, due bills for forty years from now, where are we at? There's only one thing can happen. That's to call in the currency and pay off the bonds; and we can't do it. Wall Street owns them, and Wall Street's controlled by the Jews; the rest of it's in the Vatican, and the Jews has got the rest of it in Wall Street with the commerce of the world."
"And in doing this to get it, she'll compromise with the Jews and make a covenant, and when she makes this covenant with the Jews . . . Now, remember, I'm taking this from the Scriptures. And now, when she does this and makes this covenant, we notice in Daniel 8:23 and 25 he will cause craft to prosper (and craft is manufacturing), in his hand."
"And he makes this covenant with the Jews, and in the midst of this three and a half years, he breaks his covenant as soon as he gets the thing wrapped up and gets the money of the Jews tied up. And when he does that, oh, my, oh, my, he's called the antichrist until the end of the church age, for he and his children are against Christ and the Word. This man's called the antichrist. Now, he's going to hold the money. And that's where I think he'll come in. Just a minute, while I say this, then I want to go back to it in a minute."
"He's called the antichrist and will be called the antichrist in the sight of God until the end time. Now, but then he'll be called something else."
"Now, when he gets the money all under control, then he will break this covenant with the Jews, as Daniel here said he would do it, in the midst of the last half of the seventy weeks of Daniel. And then, brother, what will he do? He will have all of the world trade and the commerce, a pact with the world, 'cause he will hold the wealth of the world completely."
"And during that time, them two prophets will rise on the scene and call that hundred and forty-four thousand. Then what will take place? Then the mark of the beast of Revelations 13 will set in, 'cause he holds all the commerce, trade and everything of the world. And what will take place then? The mark of the beast will come in that no man can buy or sell except him that has the mark of the beast. Thank God, the Church will be enjoying a great three and a half years in glory" (63-0318, The First Seal, par. 348, 354-360).
Hosea 6:1-3 saw the prophetical meaning of Jonah's entombment: "After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we (Israel) shall live in his sight." Thus Jesus prophesied Israel will be revived from its national deadness "in one day," the third day is now dawning as Messiah was raised on the third day, the great antitype needs a great type in Jonah's living entombment (Matthew 12:39-41; John 2:19; I Corinthians 15:4). Israel's soon-coming resurrection typifies the now imminent general resurrection of which Christ's resurrection is the firstfruit of the Old and New Testament saints (Isaiah 26:19-21; the vision of Ezekiel 37:1-28; Daniel 12:2; I Corinthians 15:22-23) addresses the soon-coming return of the Ten Tribes from North Africa and the Middle East and the scattered Tribes of Judah and Benjamin following a mass exodus of non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Israeli Jews. Though admonished by all of their own prophets at all seasons, Israel repented not, yet a heathen city repents at a strange prophet's first preaching, an anticipatory dawn of the "Light to lighten the Gentiles." Alas the Gentiles are now in Darkness: Messiah is about to "turn His hand upon the little ones" (Zechariah 13:7).
The Prophet said, "God divided His Word at the beginning, in Genesis. I can take Genesis and show you every age in the Bible, down to this age here. All the cults and things we have today, I can show you exactly where they was in Genesis. See?"
"God gave His Word so much here, so much here, so much here, for each Age. And then He sent a prophet down, anointed to make that Word come to pass, and it supports the other one that was coming. See, like the Messiah, always supported. Every prophet in his own life, his own being, the Word that was given for that day, he come and fulfilled that written Word and foretold of what the other one was going to be. And every one of them spoke of Him (amen) 'cause He was the fullness, He was the Head of the prophets, He was the Word of God, He was the prophets. Amen! There He is. Notice! How wonderful what He was: each one of those prophets."
"Then when He come, He was the fullness of all the prophets, manifested; 'cause they were the Word of the Lord, and He said Himself, "If you call those gods, whom the Word of God come to, how can you condemn Me when I say 'I'm the Son of God'?" (John 10:35). See, even those in that Age were identified as gods, God called them, Himself, "gods." What were they? They were manifestations of His Word. And here was He, the fullness of the Word, Deity embodied, Deity manifested in the flesh" (63-1222, God's Gifts Always Find Their Places, par. 96-102).
Matthew 24:1-3, "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to Him to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, do you not see all these things? Verily I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down".
The first two verses took place on Tuesday afternoon April 4, AD30, and the third verse took place on Tuesday evening of the same day. "And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples (Peter, James and John) came to him privately, saying, tell us, Question 1, when shall these things be? And Question 2, what shall be the sign of Your unseen (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming, and Question 3, what will be the sign of the end of the (present) world (order)?" Seated on the mountain Jesus revealed the mystery of the unwritten Seventh Seal (Revelation 8:1) which is the revelation of the previous six written Seals from Matthew 24.
Answer 1. The siege of Jerusalem and destruction of the second Temple by Roman General Titus in AD70 was the decisive event of the First Jewish–Roman War.
Now let's compare the First Seal of Revelation 6:2 with this first question: "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the Seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, "Come." And I looked, and behold a white horse: and he who sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given to him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer".
This fellow was Antichrist. Matthew 24:4-5. "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many".
Jesus' disciples were Israelites, and the New Testament Church was comprised of predominantly Israelite converts 'til about AD600 when the Judaeo-Catholic church led the Western world into the Dark Ages.
Revelation 6:3-4, "And when He had opened the Second Seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" And there went forth a red horse: and power was given to him who sat on him to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword".
Matthew 24:6, "And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that you are not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."
Revelation 6:5-6, "And when He had opened the Third Seal, I beheld the third living creature say, "Come!" And I looked and behold a black horse; and he who sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see you hurt not the oil and the wine".
Matthew 24:7, "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."
Revelation 6:7-8, "And when He had opened the Fourth Seal, I looked, and behold a sickly pale horse: and he who sat on him was called Death, and the whole kingdom of the dead is in his train. And universal authority was given to him over the four parts (Fourth Seal par. 19; Sixth Seal, par. 173; Seventh Seal, par. 176; Matthew 24:31; Revelation 7:1; 13:7, etc.,) of the earth, to kill with the sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." (At this time Rome will be ruling the world—north, south, east and west from Jerusalem).
Matthew 24:8, "All these things are the beginning of birth pains," three woes" World Wars I and II leading to Armageddon which will be World War III, death and the consummation of life. Laodicea commenced in 1906 and ended in March, 1963.
Answer 2. The sign of Christ's unseen second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming was the public manifestation of a Stratospheric Pillar of Cloud over Northern Arizona on February 28, 1963 (Psalm 19:1) which showed Jesus wigged as a judge in the office Son of man. Brother Branham was caught up from Sunset Mountain into the Cloud at the close of the Laodicean Church Age on March 8, 1963 (Daniel 7:9-10; Revelation 1:14 and 10:1-7). To this day Scientists and astronomers have been unable to establish a natural or human explanation for this phenomenon.
The first Four Seals dealt with the redemption of the PART W_O_R_D or Church Age saints who required mediation for their ignorance of the fullness of the Word. In the Bride Age Redemption and Christ's mediation are over "and we do have today, by God's help, the perfect interpretation of the Word with Divine vindication." I Corinthians 13:10, "That which was in part is done away. 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" (64-0823E, Q&A #2, par. 57). Christ's end-time Bride and the 144,000 Israelites were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary. When the last elect Gentiles recognize their place in the Body we will go Home. The Seven Church Ages were the antitype of the Feast of Pentecost. The Bride Age is the antitype of the Feast of the Trumpets gathering genuine Israelites to the Homeland in anticipation of the ministry of their prophets Moses and Elijah.
The Prophet said, ". . . the [Fifth] Seal itself ties the entire Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation—one Seal of it" (63-0322, The Fifth Seal, par. 35). Revelation 6:9-11, "And when He had opened the Fifth Seal, I saw under the altar the [sanctified] souls of them that were slain for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they held [throughout the Church Ages to the translation of Christ's end-time Bride]: and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, do You not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and they were told that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled".
Matthew 24:9-13, "Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for My Name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, and the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved".
Brother Branham called the martyrdom of sanctified blood Israelites who observed the Mosaic Law under the Fifth Seal throughout the Church Ages, "an amateur tribulation" because the "time of Jacob's trouble" under the Sixth Seal will be the Great Tribulation. The Fifth Seal applies to spiritually blinded but sanctified blood Israelites observing the Law from the Day of Pentecost, beyond the close of the Church Ages, Christ's Mediation and redemption in 1963, to the translation of Christ's end time Bride.
"John caught up in the 4th chapter to see things which was, which is, and which is to come. But the Church finishes at the 4th chapter, and Christ takes up the Church, caught up in the air to meet Him, and does not appear again until the 19th chapter when He comes back as King of king and Lord of lords with the Church. And now . . . Oh, I hope someday that we can get through it all, maybe before He comes. If we don't, we'll see it anyhow; so it doesn't matter" (63-0318, The First Seal, par. 24). By Gods grace we are studying the revelation of the Church Ages, Seals, Trumpets and Vials.
Revelation 7:1-17 is a parenthesis between the Sixth and Seventh Seals. In Revelation 7:1 we see the Israelites martyred in the end of the Fifth Seal under the Laodicea Church Age. "After these things (Revelation 6:1-8) I saw four angels (the Papal horsemen of the Apocalypse who rode through the first four Seals of the last Gentile world empire) standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth (war and strife), that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree".
"In Revelation 9:13 two hundred thousand thousand horsemen . . . supernatural devils . . . which had been bound for nearly two thousand years, at the river Euphrates by Rome's dogma and superstition ("MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" can't cross to the promise (of new birth and eternal Life); . . . under that Sixth Trumpet (Revelation 9:13-21). They were turned loose . . . by Stalin, Hitler, upon the Jews . . . They done the same things they did to the Christians, in the old pagan Roman days . . . under the Fifth Seal every one of those martyrs . . . receive robes (Revelation 6:9-11) by grace, because they're blinded . . . can't see the Gospel bound there by ecclesiastical powers . . . pagan Rome become papal Rome . . . same ungodly, pagan spirit! Loosed upon the Jew . . . not on the Gentiles. The Gentile, when them Seals was opened, is sealed away; time is ended; the Church is called (Revelation 10:1-7).
"Seven things He showed me, in '33 . . . Five of them has already passed . . . just two more things to happen (1.) the rise of the Catholic church in America following the earthquake and collapse of the US dollar which Rome will back with gold thus controlling the Jews whose paper wealth is dependent upon the value of the gold-backed dollar (Daniel 9:27), and (2.) "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).
"He said, he come in like flatteries . . . bringing the Protestant Ecumenical Council of the World Churches, the spirit of antichrist upon both of them, bringing them to the slaughter . . . in the hour to call the Bride. How? Loosed in the ecclesiastical church spirit . . . Not upon the denominations; upon the Bride! But here you'll get it; the Bride will not go through that time. The Bible says not. The church will, but not the Bride . . . The Blood of Jesus Christ perfects the Bride. A man who chooses a wife don't put her through a lot of punishment . . . she has found grace with him".
[In Daniel 11:21-45 we saw Imperial Rome transformed into a church kingdom, the purging of Israelites and Rome refinancing the US dollar with gold backing, the enforcement of UN Resolution 181, the mark of the beast, and Papal rule over world government from Jerusalem, plus conflict by Russia and Egypt – Ed.].
"Now twenty years after WWII we see the loosing of the ecclesiastical spirit. What under? The Seventh Seal; Seventh Trumpet to the Jew".
"Look at the moon darkening out . . . the Son of man being drove from the church . . . the ecumenical move, and with the World Council of Churches "How can two walk together 'less they be agreed?" . . . under the auspices of a United Nation, united . . . Eastern and Western. Just like the right and left foot of the image that Daniel (chapter 2) saw, how they wouldn't agree and mix with one another . . . Eisenhower means "iron." Khrushchev means "clay." And he pulled off his shoe and beat it on the desk at the UN" (when Eisenhower's lie was exposed by images of Gary Power's U2 Spy plane shoot down).
". . . Watch the ecclesia, what it did to themJewsIsraelites. That was a people that held to the Laws of God . . . 'course they went down in martyrdom . . . blinded for our sake. Here now the Church that knows nothing but the Bible . . . regardless of ecclesiastical system, denomination, they know nothing about it. It's all foreign to them. They know Him and Him alone" (64-0719M, The Feast of the Trumpets, par. 159-200).
By the grace of God WWI stopped mysteriously in 1918. The Supernatural is Revelation 9:15 which prophesied the event 2,000 years previously. However, the natural "circumstances surrounding the signing of the Armistice on November 11, 1918 must be understood. The German High Command did not ask for the Armistice because their armies were in danger of defeat. When the Armistice was signed the German armies had never been defeated on the field of battle. The German High Command asked for an Armistice so that they could devote their efforts towards preventing a Communist Revolution. Rosa Luxemburg, and her Jewish-dominated Spartacus Bund, had planned to duplicate in Germany what Lenin had achieved in Russia exactly one year previously." [When Adam Weishaupt founded the "Illuminati" in the Electorate of Bavaria he adopted the name of "Brother Spartacus" within the order].
"Rosa Luxemburg's revolutionaries infiltrated into the German High Seas fleet. They became very active in 1918. They spread rumours that the ships, and their crews, were to be sacrificed in an all out battle with the combined British and American navies. The rumour-mongers stated that the purpose of the battle was to cripple the combined allied fleets to such an extent they would be unable to defend the British coasts against a military invasion planned to bring the German Warlords victory. The Communist "Cells" exhorted the German seamen to mutiny because they claimed that the planned invasion of Britain was doomed to failure, due to the fact British scientists had developed a secret weapon. According to the rumour-mongers, invading craft could, by the use of chemicals fired from guns ashore or dropped from planes, be surrounded by a sea of flames. Fire, heat, and lack of oxygen would create conditions in which nothing human could survive. The subversives argued that the only way to avoid such a fate was to bring about a revolution to end the war. The German seamen mutinied the third of November, 1918.
"The Social Democratic Party immediately formed a [Weimar] Republican Government. Armistice was signed on November eleventh, 1918. The Communist leaders of the Spartacus Bund had placed their "Cells" in key positions within the new government and throughout the armed forces. Their combined efforts created chaotic conditions everywhere. Rosa Luxemburg then played her trump card. She forced the Socialist government to order the immediate demobilization of the German armed forces. This action prevented the German High Command from using their well disciplined troops to prevent the pending revolution which broke out in January, 1919."
"Before she usurped power in Germany, Rosa Luxemburg was promised the same financial assistance and military aid the international bankers had given to Lenin and Trotsky a year before. The initial stages of her revolutionary effort were financed by the fund they made available through the Soviet Ambassador Joffe. The revolutionary effort only failed to accomplish what Lenin had achieved in Russia when the promised aid failed to materialize after Rosa had launched her initial onslaught. Then she realized her Jewish Spartacus Bund had been betrayed by the very men she considered her friends. This incident alone should prove that "The Secret Power" behind the World Revolutionary Movement is not concerned about the welfare of the Jews any more than the Gentiles. The majority of the Directors of the WRM are men who descended from the Khazars, Tartars and other Mongol-Asiatic non-Semitic races (i.e. non-Semitic self-styled Talmudic Jews like 90% of world Jewry according to official Jewish sources like Encyclopedia Judaica – Ed.). They adopted the Jewish religion to suit their own selfish purposes between the 7th and 8th centuries. (See "The Iron Curtain Over America" by Prof. John Beaty. Wilkinson Publishing Co., Dallas, Texas. p. 15-16). They have used Jews exactly as they have used Gentiles as "Pawns in the Game" (William Guy Carr, Pawns in the Game, p. 97-98:3).
"After the Jewish-dominated revolution collapsed for want of aid, the German Aryan people took a full measure of revenge on the Jewish people. Thousands of Jews, men, women and children, were rounded up during the night and executed. Rosa Luxemburg and her right hand man, Karl Liebknecht, were captured and shot in the head like mad dogs by a German lieutenant. Thus, once again, a large number of Jews were made to pay the penalty for the crimes of a small group of international gangsters who used them as pawns in the game of international intrigue."
World War I was the Fifth Trumpet (Revelation 9:1-12). "One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter" (Revelation 8:13). World War II was the Sixth Trumpet wherein the third part of men, self-styled Jews and Israelites were slain by demons loosed from "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT." Her creed, dogma and superstition is no defense against the "the kings from the East." World War III will be Armageddon (Revelation 11:15-19; 19:11-21).
After Laodicea closed the Fifth Seal types the Feast of the Trumpets gathering Israelites to the Homeland for God's Covenant is of no effect outside the Land. After our Home going, Revelation 7:4-8 prophesies the ministry of Moses and Elijah under the Sixth Seal. Revelation 7:9-17 mentions the foolish virgin. In the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week the Pope will abrogate his covenant with Jewry and force the mark of the beast (Daniel 9:27; Revelation 13). The two witnesses will be slain and lie unburied; "after three and a half days the Spirit of Life from God will enter into them, and they will stand on their feet. A great Voice from heaven will call "Come up hither," and they will ascend to heaven in a cloud" broadcast globally. The 144,000 elect Israelites will be born-again as a nation in one day and eventually martyred. "And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel" (54-0514, The Seal of God, par. 239). This second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week will be the antitype of the Feast of Atonement; under the Law the Israel nation was atoned in one day, even so the 144,000 elect Israelites will be atoned and born as a nation in one day.
After the Sixth Seal (Revelation 6:12-17) and our Home going "another mighty Angel," Christ, will "cry with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads" (as in Ezekiel 9:2-11; 43:2; II Thessalonians 2:7).
Answer 3. "The sign of the end of the present world order will be a great earthquake of unprecedented magnitude since man was on earth manifesting the Sixth Seal, Seventh Trumpet and Seventh Vial. I rather feel the disciples were anxious over "the fig tree (Israel): that withered away from the roots in one day upon Jesus' curse" (Matthew 21:18-22), looking for the "time of Jacob's trouble" when the Israel nation of 144,000 pray in faith and the fig tree "puts forth leaves . . . for its time and the end of the world is near, even at the doors" (Matthew 24:3c, 32-35).
Revelation 6:12-17, "And I beheld when he had opened the Sixth Seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"
Matthew 24:29-30, "Immediately after the tribulation of the days [of the Fifth Seal and the third so-called holocaust or extermination of six million Jews claimed in just the twentieth century] the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory".
The common Earthquake at the Sixth Seal (Revelation 6:12), Seventh Trumpet (Revelation 11:15-19) and Seventh Vial (Revelation 16:18) will mark the close of the Gentile dispensation (Revelation 8:5) and the removal of Israel's blindness (Romans 11:25). However Israelites must hasten to the Land of the Covenant for Brother Branham said: many Jews won't escape from the United States (54-0103M, Q&A #1, par. 235), for "the Sixth Seal is the judgment Seal of the Word" (65-0323, The Sixth Seal, par. 146).
"Now, the 8th chapter of Revelation only reveals the scene of the Seventh Seal where nothing else is revealed . . . the revealing of the Seventh Seal is perfectly mute. And if I only had time (I'll try a few places.) to show you all the way back from Genesis this Seventh Seal is spoke of. From the very beginning in Genesis, these Seals moved right up . . . between the Sixth and the Seventh Seal is the calling out of Israel [i.e. Revelation 7:1-8 and sealing the 144,000 electJewsIsraelites called in the Tribulation period after the Church has gone in Revelation 4] . . . (63-0322, The Fifth Seal, par. 77-83). nl1279.htm
