"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 to have the privilege of your fellowship around God's unchanging Word and appreciate your prayers.
I encourage you to go online, visit your local library or second-hand bookstore and request the Diaries or the Journals John Wesley to tone-up your life and bring the Token of the Life of Jesus Christ alive in you whereupon people will observe "that you have been with Jesus." Meanwhile I counsel you to go online and visit this youtu.be teaching by Derek Prince whose ministry was universal and longtime. His subject is Prayer and Fasting which must be observed by every genuine born-again believer after the teaching and example of Jesus Christ and all saints of the Old and New Testaments.
Bringing self subject to Spirit "faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness saints were made strong, waxed valiant in fight and turned to flight the armies of the aliens." This enabled the humble Martin Luther to withstand the global power to which the kings of England and Europe must bow. By this means John Wesley turned debauched England to holiness, staunched to tide of revolution from her shores and inspired the greatest missionary endeavour of all time. This regimen lit the worldwide healing revival under William Branham post World War II; cripples were made whole, deaf and dumb mutes heard and spoke, the blind received sight and the dead were raised. By prayer and fasting the Lord used him to reveal Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday, today and forever by the messianic sign discerning the thoughts and intents of people's hearts. He was chosen and anointed to restore the apostolic faith, introduce Christ's second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming and call Christ's end-time Bride out from Rome and her harlot (once) Protestant daughter churches into the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation.
The Prophet prayed, "God, shake this little old church like never before. May the Holy Ghost get a hold of every person here, cause them to fast and pray, and lay on their face day and night, screaming out, Lord, until the old fashion revival breaks out here, Lord, and sweeps all out through here and sends in an old fashion time that'll bring men and women back to God. Grant it, Father, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen" (53-0326, Israel and the Church, par. 183).
We will be having meetings on July 14; may the believers be sanctified and in expectation of heavenly manna of "the present Truth" not a banquest for their belly.
Our Main Article is "What shall be the Sign of Your Coming, and of the End of the World?" May the Lord bless you as you read, study and prove these things. This is supported by a larger than usual selection of current news.
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

Israel and Hezbollah on the Brink of War
June 24, 2024 — Canada, the US, Great Britain and Kuwait have all warned its citizens in Lebanon to evacuate. The impending war is caused because Israel refuses a ceasefire in Gaza. Hezbollah says they will continue to stand in solidarity with the Palestinians of Gaza as the continuing genocide is perpetrated by Israel, but as soon as a ceasefire begins, Hezbollah's response will cease.
Hezbollah is a Lebanese resistance group which is heavily armed. Most experts agree that the military might of Hezbollah and Israel are quite comparable on many levels, but Israel has air superiority. If the 'Iron Dome' was inundated by missiles launched from Lebanon, the effectiveness of the Israeli defenses would stop, and Israel could suffer destruction on a scale it has never experienced before. We have witnessed the destruction of Israeli missiles on Gaza, and homes and buildings across Israel could face a similar disaster.
The root cause of all conflicts in the Middle East emanate from the brutal Israeli occupation of Palestine, which has stripped away all human rights, and civil rights, from about six million Palestinians, while the six million Jews in Israel live in a quasi-democracy with human rights and civil rights comparable to most western democracies. Netanyahu firmly demands the continuation of the war on Gaza and demands that Hamas be destroyed, but his military leaders have said that is an impossible task, as Hamas is an ideology, that of resistance to occupation, which is guaranteed to all people through the Geneva Convention . . .
Israel invaded and brutally occupied Lebanon from 1982 to 2000. Its withdrawal was a victory for Hezbollah. In 2006, Israel launched a second war on Hezbollah which saw Israel prevented from invading by the might of Hezbollah, and in the following years the resistance group has gotten much stronger militarily . . .
Israeli troops have also deployed white phosphorus in Lebanon, a substance that burns at high temperature and can be used to create smokescreens to obscure troop movements, but can cause respiratory damage and deadly burns. Its use near civilian areas is a violation of international humanitarian law. The war between Israel and Lebanon can be avoided if Israel will stop the unrelenting attacks on Gaza, which have resulted in over 36,000 deaths, mostly women and children . . .

Comment: War on Gaza: Hunger 'worse than bombings' for starving Palestinians. Food is scarce, spoilt and often non-existent in besieged enclave, leaving people dizzy and weak . . . Israel's ground invasion on Rafah, in southern Gaza, including its seizure of the Rafah crossing, have choked off the few routes into the enclave for humanitarian aid trucks. The report found that over half of households in Gaza reported that they often have no food to eat in the house, and over 20 percent go entire days and nights without eating (middleeasteye.net).
World War Three is to be fomented by using the differences the agentur of the Illuminati stir up between Political Zionists and the leaders of the Moslem world. The war is to be directed in such a manner that Islam (the Arab World including Mohammedanism) and Political Zionism (including the State of Israel) will destroy themselves while at the same time the remaining nations, once more divided against each other on this issue, will be forced to fight themselves into a state of complete exhaustion physically, mentally, spiritually and economically. Can any unbiased and reasoning person deny that the intrigue now going on in the Near, Middle, and Far East is designed to accomplish this devilish purpose?
Washington Faces Defeat in Red Sea Donnybrook
June 24, 2024 — The Houthis have agreed to end their attacks on commercial traffic in the Red Sea if Israel allows the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. This is not just a reasonable proposal, it's a policy that is supported by the vast majority of people around the world . . . According to the Government's own analysis, Biden's Red Sea policy has been an abject failure. Container shipping is down by 90 percent while insurance premiums, fueling costs and 'extra miles sailed' have skyrocketed. There's not a trace of optimism in the entire report. The Houthis have basically achieved all of their strategic objectives while Washington's meddling has accomplished nothing . . .
By the way, Biden's naval operation—Operation Prosperity Guardian—was never approved by the UN Security Council, the US Congress or the American people. It is another unilateral, fly-by-night intervention that precludes a diplomatic solution and guarantees the US will face another humiliating defeat at the hands of its enemies sometime in the future . . . let's not blame the Houthis for a conflict for which the Biden administration is 100 percent responsible. No one put a gun to Joe Biden's head and forced him to deploy the US Navy to the Red Sea to engage in pointless fracas in order to defend Israel's right to murder women and children in Gaza. That's a decision that Biden made unilaterally while disregarding the groundswell of international condemnation, the blistering rulings of the ICC and the ICJ and virtually every human rights organization on Planet Earth. Biden chose to ignore the moral judgement of the entire world to promote the sordid agenda of the Jewish state. That's on him! In contrast, the Houthis are just doing their bit to stop Israel's genocide. They weren't itching for a war with the United States. That's not it at all. They're just trying to get the Israelis to lift their blockade, so more people don't die of starvation. Is that too much to ask? Full story: globalresearch.ca

Children among Mass Casualties after US-Supplied Missile Targets Crowded Crimean Beach
June 24, 2024 — The Russian Ministry of Health in a recent update said that five people were killed in a series of strikes from Ukraine, which injured 124 people including 27 children. Among the deceased, two were children, the ministry said. The casualty toll is likely to climb over the next hours amid the emergency response and as hospital data is reported . . . Russia's military warned that "Such actions will not be left without a response." The Biden administration has regularly sought to claim that US-supplied weapons transferred to Ukraine can only be used to attack military targets and are "defensive"—even in the instance of cross-border attacks . . .

The End of the World as we Know It
June 21, 2024 — America's addiction to nuclear weapons does not lend itself to deterrence-based stability. It only leads to war. "That's great, it starts with an earthquake . . ." (Scott Ritter does not know that he is correct . . . one Good Friday) . . . Putin took time from his visit to Uzbekistan to reply, warning that NATO members in Europe were playing with fire by proposing to let Ukraine use Western weapons to strike deep inside Russia. Putin said Ukrainian strikes on Russia with long-range weapons would need Western satellite, intelligence and military assistance, thus making any Western help in this regard a direct participant in the conflict. "Constant escalation can lead to serious consequences," Putin said. "If these serious consequences occur in Europe, how will the United States behave, bearing in mind our parity in the field of strategic weapons? It's hard to say," Putin said, answering his own question. "Do they want a global conflict?"
Putin, in Hanoi downplayed the notion of Russia embracing a policy of nuclear preemption. "We don't need a preventive strike; with a retaliatory strike the enemy is guaranteed to be destroyed." When asked by reporters whether Ukraine's use of Western long-range weapons against Russian territory could be considered an act of aggression and a direct threat to the Russian state, he replied "This requires additional research, but it's close" . . .

Comment: The Jewish NeoCons are firmly behind the Ukraine agenda. They were actively involved in the US-Sponsored 2014 EuroMaidan Coup d’état, which was conducive "in the name of Western democracy" to a "regime change": namely the instatement of a Neo-Nazi puppet government in Kiev. US-NATO is firmly embedded in the Kiev regime's Neo-Nazi project the objective of which is to destroy Ukraine as well wage war on Russia. The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) dominates US foreign policy on behalf of powerful financial interests (like BlackRock and JP Morgan. The PNAC dispels the planning of "consecutive" military operations: it describes: America's "Long War" as follows: "fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars." The conduct of "Simultaneous Theater Wars" is the backbone of America's hegemonic Agenda. It's a project of global warfare. The PNAC controlled by the NeoCons also dispels the holding of real peace negotiations (globalresearch.ca Is multi-millionaire Zelenskyyy in league with fellow Jewish Big Finance a traitor to the Ukraine, set on privatising the land in private public partnership?
Ukraine-Russia: 'The Mutual Peace Engagement Conference'
June 24, 2024 — On 12 June, three days before the start of the official Summit, we, a group of friends and peace activists, friends of Real Peace, organized an informal but REAL Peace Conference in Flühli, Switzerland. We called it "Mutual Peace Engagement—Conference" (MPEC) . . . participants were international experts with ample experience on the ground in Ukraine, as well as in Russia. They included a Russian-Swiss Journalist, representing Russian interests; a former US CIA agent, with decades of international experience and representing US interests, as well as retired high-level Swiss and German army officers, who had years of on-the-ground knowledge, in the region, especially in Ukraine and Russia.
Interestingly, the MPEC participants attempted to invite also a representative from Ukraine, but were unlucky. All potential candidates declined, answering almost unanimously: Too dangerous for potentially expressing an opinion which may not be in line with the Zelenskyy policy. They mentioned possible reprisals against themselves and/or their families.
The participants at the MPEC also were aware of history, what led to the Maidan Coup in 2014, who orchestrated it—and that, indeed, the war started already in 2014, what Mr. Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General said on several occasions, thereby admitting that it was not Russia's interference—NOT invasion—in the Donbass Region of Ukraine, that prompted the current war. This historic point was clearly made by the US representative who spoke to the Conference by Zoom from the United States. This sort of momentous perspective was not even discussed at the official Swiss-sponsored conference, let alone taken into account, in the summits conclusions . . .

Comment: As NATO and its Neo-Nazi proxies coordinate their long- range strikes with terrorist attacks deeper within Russia . . . the belligerent alliance's eastern member states are preparing to effectively enter the conflict [with] intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance assets are used for long-range attacks on the Russian military in an "unofficial" capacity, the political West is hoping to get the chance to use F-16 fighter jets from airbases in Eastern Europe, where they would be "safe" from Russian counterattacks . . . Many NATO countries have F-16s in their inventories, but of all operators of the US-made jet, Poland and Romania are the closest to Ukraine . . . have the largest territories and the most important NATO installations in Eastern Europe . . . with a strong pro-US (geo)political stance . . .

Entire UK Establishment Piles on Nigel Farage for saying 'We Provoked' Ukraine War
June 25, 2024 — Both Trump and Nigel Farage see such difficult acknowledgements of the West's role in fueling the conflict as a necessary step toward ceasefire talks and eventual peaceful settlement to the war. Both have also expressed that they wish to avoid a path to WW3 and that the current refusal to negotiate heightens that risk . . .

This is going to be Far Worse than the Great Depression
June 24, 2024 — The latest black hole of default is coming from a big bank in Japan. Norinchukin Bank is selling $63 billion in Treasuries and other sovereign bonds to stay afloat. Then there is recent news announced by the FDIC that 63 US banks (the names are being kept secret) have more than $500 billion in losses, and let's not forget about the trillions in losses sitting on the books of European banks ready to suck the world into a black debt hole. This is just a few of many on a long list of destabilizing problems that can tank the entire over-indebted financial system.
"The list is so long . . . it could be a banking problem. It could be a derivatives problem. It could be a derivatives problem in the stock market, the bond market and you could see a failure to deliver in silver. Some type of warfare could crash the system. You could see warfare in Ukraine, Israel or Tiawan.
The system is so unstable, at this point, it could be anything that could bring it down.
Unpayable debt is not just a US problem. This is all over the world. Central banks are having to issue huge amounts of debt because we are in the exponential decay phase. We are exactly where Richard Russell said we would be 20 years ago. It's inflate or die, and the only way to inflate is to create more money supply."
Japanese and US insolvent banks . . . gold is going to exponential numbers to back all the debt the USA has. If you go with the 8,030 tons of gold the government claims is in Fort Knox, you will need a dollar price of gold at "$125,000 per ounce for 100% gold backing of the dollar."

Julian is Free Washington Crafted 'Face Saving Deal'
June 25, 2024 — The US government, increasingly regarded worldwide as a criminal organization, could not convince British courts to extradite Julian Assange. Washington was unable or unwilling to provide the British assurances that Assange would not be abused and denied his rights. Many of us think Assange has been abused enough by the British government which held him in solitary confinement for 62 months, a massive violation of habeas corpus, as a favor to Washington. Perhaps "British justice" grew tired of the shame of serving as Washington's jailer and imprisoning a man who has not been convicted of anything. The brownie points that the British were earning from Washington were offset by the appearance of complicity in Washington's act of vengeance against a journalist who published leaked information embarrassing to Washington. Perhaps the British judges decided that the 13 years Washington stole from Assange's life and the life of his wife and children was enough . . . Americans will never be able to live down this shame heaped upon them by Washington, because the US Department of Justice (sic) continues to practice it on American citizens themselves.
Assange was betrayed and misled by those who allegedly supported him. The Guardian, The New York Times, The Economist, Der Spiegel, Le Monde, El Pais, Vaughan Smith, George Soros, the Rothschilds, the Council on Foreign Relations, et al. There was no espionage. Wikileaks published, and made available to the New York Times, The Guardian, and other media organizations leaked information. The media organizations published the information, just as did Wikileaks, but they are not charged." The mainstream media continues to be the source of extensive media disinformation. It sustains the lies concerning the Covid crisis and the mRNA vaccine, which has resulted in an upward trend of excess mortality. It routinely endorses the US-NATO war agenda, while describing the Neo-Nazi Kiev regime as a flourishing democracy.
And now they allegedly come to his rescue. The Obama-Biden Administration, in office during the Wikileaks publication in 2010, refrained from indicting Assange, explaining that they would have had to indict journalists from major news outlets too. What is unfolding is not only "the criminalization of the State", the judicial system is also criminalized with a view to upholding the legitimacy of the war criminals in high office. And the corporate media through omission, half truths and outright lies upholds war as a peace-making endeavor. When the lie becomes the truth there is no moving backwards.

Comment: By allowing the US government to compel Julian Assange to plead guilty to a crime he did not commit, America has condemned itself to be a land where telling the truth is a crime. "The press was to serve the governed, not the governors. The Government's power to censor the press was abolished so that the press would remain forever free to censure the Government. The press was protected so that it could bare the secrets of the government and inform the people. Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government. And paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people and sending them off to distant lands to die of foreign fevers and foreign shot and shell" – Justice Hugo Black, The New York Times vs. The United States, 1971.
Assange is guilty of no crime. It is the US government which operates in violation of the law and, by suppressing Julian Assange's duty as a publisher to expose deception on part of the government about war crimes committed by American servicemembers in Iraq and other lies and deceptions perpetrated by the State Department and Department of Defense, in gross disregard for the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States ( scottritter.substack.com).
Net Zero Burial of Carbon Dioxide?
June 3, 2024 — Queensland Government recently placed a ban on pumping and dumping carbon dioxide into the rocks of the Great Artesian Basin . . . Burying CO2 would achieve nothing useful—just more futile green waste. Their ban on Carbon Capture and Underground Storage (CCUS) should be extended to all areas . . . not just this one basin . . . today's low levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are too close to the red line of death, where all plant life will die (followed by animal life) youtu.be.
Far too much of Earth's limited carbon dioxide has become locked up in massive deposits of coal, limestone, magnesite and chalk, and plants are starving. Greenhouse operators have to pump CO2 into their nurseries to help plants, and cultivated crops and trees do better where they can breathe heavier-than-air CO2 emitted by nearby power stations burning coal or gas. (Trees near the coal-burning Tarong Power station in Queensland were measured to be growing 20% faster than trees 20 km away from the power station).
While the human use of coal, oil, gas and limestone has restored some CO2 to the atmosphere it is not enough to allow plants to thrive. Only green fools would add to our problem by burying the gas of life. Surely the flora and fauna of the Great Dividing Range is also worth protecting from the bulldozers clearing roads and sites for wind power stations and preparing for the water-wasting hydrogen industry speculators. Who is protecting our farms, grasslands and woodlands from those promoting suffocating solar blankets? And who is going to save the whales, fishermen and seabirds from dangerous and noisy offshore wind machines? youtube.com
Image, a skeletal forest of worn-out and abandoned wind turbines in Tehachapi, California. Will the green destroyers keep pushing until every ridgeline has its regiment of whirling swords and every grassy flat is smothered under plastic panels? Decaying remnants of these green religious monuments will remain like the cold silent Easter Island statues, reminding future generations of the stupidity of this generation of Australians. So-called "Greens" are driving all this damage and cost to produce electricity that is intermittent and unreliable. And the worst is yet to come . . . as they force-feed this chaotic rush into intermittent energy, politicians are also rushing to electrify everything—cars, trucks, trains and home heating/cooking. When coal, diesel and gas power are banned, and we are still arguing about nuclear power, all these electric cars, trucks and trains will stop at sundown with flat batteries. How do we recharge all those batteries while we cook dinner and watch TV on a windless night? Full story: The Biggest Public Policy Disaster in a Lifetime
The Myth of Dr. Mengele
Of the many sub-fables spun off of the grand fable of "Auschwitz" ™, the most shocking and enduring is the myth of that evil, sadistic, mass-murdering monster whose name ranks behind only those of The Great One (that's Hitler for you newbies & normies) and SS Chief Heinrich Himmler on the all-time scary bogeyman list. The notorious camp doctor known for conducting live invasive experiments on Jewish inmates has long since been immortalized in articles, books and films. You know the name—none other than the big bad Dr. Josef Mengele (cue dramatic piano music)—aka "The Angel of Death ™." (cue even more dramatic piano music)
There is, however, just a wee little problem with this official narrative of the big bad Mengele. To put it bluntly, just like those long-since discredited tales of shrunken heads, lamp shades & soap made from dead Jews, "zee gas chambers ™," and babies being tossed into open fire-pits—the Myth of Mengele is, well, bullshit from start to finish. Let us debunk the Three Biggest Lies about Dr. Mengele:
1. He condemned inmates who could not work to death in the gas chambers
2. He conducted cruel experiments with twins.
3. He conducted other cruel medical experiments on random inmates Full story: realnewsandhistory.com

The Spread of Artificial Intelligence, Emergence of 'Deep Fakes', Masterful Distortions. 'Who Controls the Past Controls the Future'
June 26, 2024 — George Orwell was spot on when he wrote that "who controls the past controls the future." The remarkable advances of Artificial Intelligence technology appear to bear him out. But they confirm also the correctness of the rest of his prescient remark, which is cited less often, that "who controls the present controls the past." That also seems confirmed, as we shall see presently. Artificial intelligence has rightfully become the subject of great controversy, even though it is still early to fully assess its impact. Yet with each passing day the problematic, and some would even say nefarious, aspects of its uses are becoming increasingly evident.
One of the chief concerns regarding Artificial Intelligence is its pretension to supersede and consign to a state of permanent subservience its human counterpart. Another is the danger it poses to workmen. Their jobs will become largely obsolete and incomes will diminish or disappear once employers discover that the operations human workers were performing for a salary can be done at minimum or no expense by the entity we are becoming accustomed to call Artificial Intelligence, or AI. Clearly, the uncontrolled spread of AI is taking humanity to uncharted waters controlling past artificial intelligence.
Kenyan Police under Scrutiny after Crackdown on Demonstrations Opposing Tax Hikes
June 24, 2024 — Kenyan President William Ruto unleashed riot police against largely youthful demonstrators who are demanding the withdrawal of legislative proposals which would drastically increase taxes on consumer goods in this East African state. Police in Nairobi utilized water cannons and live ammunition to disperse peaceful activists concerned about the impact of the government's policies on their current livelihoods and futures.
These demonstrations, which erupted first on June 18, have been labelled as "Occupy Parliament." Thousands of young people have been brought into the latest round of protests denouncing the economic policies of the current administration. Over the last few years, Kenya has experienced deep disaffection from the youth. Suffering from widespread joblessness and economic distress, many have refused to participate in national elections.
Journalists and human rights organizations in Kenya said that over 200 people were arrested and at least one person was killed due to police actions. 29-year-old Rex Kanyike Masai was wounded in the thigh by police on June 20. He later bled to death as a result of the failure of the authorities to rapidly transport him to a reputable hospital in Nairobi. In the aftermath of Masai's death, social media was trending with denunciations of the police shootings. Several other people were wounded, some of whom remain in a critical condition.
Although the economy of Kenya is rated as the largest in East Africa, recent reports indicate the government is facing a monumental surge in the national debt . . . The Ruto government must raise an additional $US2.7 billion in an attempt to ease the growing deficit. In addition, there is opposition to the US-engineered plan to send 1,000 Kenyan police to Haiti ostensibly to serve as a stabilizing force. Within Kenya itself, many members of parliament and the judiciary at the highest level have rejected the scheme which is slated to be funded by the Biden administration to the tune of $109 million . . . Many Haitians have warned that the presence of US- backed police units from Kenya will only worsen the political crisis plaguing the Caribbean-island nation . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca
BlackRock – No Compromise with Evil. Allied to Israel's Weapons Industry
June 25, 2024 — The International Movement for a Just World (JUST) empathizes with the concerns expressed by several NGOs and public figures in Malaysia over the involvement of the fund manager BlackRock in Malaysia's infrastructure development.
BlackRock has extensive investments in companies closely allied to Israel's arms industry. It has a 7.4% stake in Lockheed Martin, a defence contractor that has played a critical role in arming the Israeli military. This is why Lockheed has been accused of complicity in the barbaric genocide in Gaza which is now in its eighth month. The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, is known to be a staunch supporter of Israel in its colossal massacre of Palestinians.
BlackRock has earned the wrath of former Federal Ministers such as [Malaysian] Khairy Jamaluddin and Saifuddin Abdullah and a former Menteri Besar (i.e. Chief Minister of Monarchical states), Mukhriz Mahathir, on the one hand, and the head of the Malaysian branch of the global Palestine based Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, Dr. Nazari Ismail, on the other, mainly because it is now the owner of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) . . . Why should we collaborate with a company owned by an entity that has such close ties to the Israeli and US military establishments? . . . airport management with all the data at the command of its managers—some of which will be highly sensitive . . . a transaction that has profound security ramifications . . .
Some supporters of the move to bring in BlackRock and GIP opine that the real reason is linked to geopolitics . . . we should never be perceived as colluding with entities that are complicit in one of the most inhuman and cruelest genocides in history . . . Our commitment to principles and ethical values in a catastrophe like Gaza should be demonstrated through deeds—deeds that prove over and over again that we will not compromise with evil Full story: globalresearch.ca
Comment: World War III is to be fomented by using the differences the agentur of the Illuminati stir up between Political Zionists and the leaders of the Moslem world. The war is to be directed in such a manner that Islam (the Arab World including Mohammedanism) and Political Zionism (including the State of Israel) will destroy themselves while at the same time the remaining nations, once more divided against each other on this issue, will be forced to fight themselves into a state of complete exhaustion physically, mentally, spiritually and economically (youtu.be.com; The Power Elite's use of Wars and Crises).
But you yourselves perfectly well know that to produce the possibility of the expression of such wishes by all the nations it is indispensable to trouble in all countries the people's relations with their governments so as to utterly exhaust humanity with dissension, hatred, struggle, envy and even by the use of torture, by starvation, by the inoculation of diseases (i.e. mRNA COVID) so that the "Goyim" (i.e. Gentiles, "the best of whom should be killed" – Talmud, Sanhedrin 57a) see no other issue than to take refuge in our complete sovereignty in money and in all else (Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion).
What shall be the Sign of Your Coming, and of the End of the World?
Brother Branham asked, "Why did Russia become communism? Because of vulgar and dirtiness, and the non-Power of the Catholic church. And that's exactly why this nation is taken over, communism and the federation of churches, and joining itself up with the Catholic church. Which, communism and Catholicism will unite together, you know, and here they are doing it. Why? Because they have rejected the Gospel that separates them and makes them a different people!" (63-0707M, The Indictment, par. 339). As God raised up Nebuchadnezzar to destroy Jerusalem and His Temple (with the treacherous assistance of the Edomites), He has raised up Judaeo-Communism (with the assistance of the spiritual and physical Serpent's seed) to destroy the Judaeo-Roman Catholic Church (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 236:4).
"And the Bible said that great final impersonator would rise up yonder and set on seven hills; he'd wear a triple crown, and he'd give power and have power, even so much as to make fire come down out of heaven in the presence of the people. He would do all of that, all of that in the last day . . . And so is it with America today, as the Holy Ghost cries in my heart. "How oft would I (have) made you a flaming torch to the nations and to the world, but you accepted Hollywood. You accepted the fashions of the world. And now, you've been given over to a Jambres and Jannes and now your day has come . . . Yes, here it is. I see all these evil things are signs. They're supernatural signs from the enemy. Why, he's doing great wonders. He's doing great things, insomuch as to make fire fall from heaven. Yes, they're having satellites all around the earth, and they're natural things, the enemy bringing fire signs and everything else. The false moons and false suns and all the other things (56-0115, Junction of Time, par. 137, 160, 169).
"This United States is rotten to the core. Yes, sir. I can prove to you the very time when . . . This woman here, back in Revelations 12, when Her Man Child was caught up to set on God's throne . . . the woman fled into the wilderness where she was taken care of for a thousand two hundred and threescore days to exactly the date of Plymouth Rock, exactly, where the church come over here for freedom of religion, and she established here".
And we'll read on down in 13th chapter of Revelations the 11th verse. "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth" . . . It's our American buffalo. Sure. See, there he is, "two horns like a lamb." But then what did he do? He had freedom of religion, first; he acted like a lamb; "he spoke like a lamb." But remember, he never did become an old ram. He was a lamb. This country is only a hundred and fifty years old, you know, just a lamb . . . "and then he spake like a dragon."
"And he exercised all the power of the first beast had before him . . . (the red dragon) . . . and caused all that dwelled upon the earth to worship the beast, who's deadly wound was healed." (Look!) "And he does great wonders, so to make him a fire come down out of heaven . . . (The atomic bomb, and hydrogen; smart, intelligent nation, and so forth, deceiving the nations by these things.)"
"This United States will come to a time that church and state will unite together. And Protestant and Catholic will throw their things together to fight communist. And it's exactly playing in the hands of what God said right here" (54-0413, Mark of the Beast, par. 157-161).
"Yes, these folks say they are Christians but they aren't".
"I will make them come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee." I Corinthians 6:2, "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?" Not only will there be twelve apostles on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel but the saints, also, will judge the world. That is when these who claim to belong to God and claim that God loves them will find out exactly who is the child of God and who is loved of the Son. Yes, that day is coming when it will be made manifest. These who are now ruling the world in a measure, and who during the last age will build an image to the beast whereby they will actually rule the world, will one day be humbled when Jesus comes with His saints to judge the world in righteousness. That is exactly what we saw in Matthew 25 when "All" the ones who missed the first resurrection will stand before the Judge and His Bride" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 312:1-2).
"Did you notice this United States is number thirteen in everything it does? You know it was established the thirteen colonies? You know the flag had thirteen stars in it first? You know everything that the United States does is in a number thirteen? . . . it appears in the Bible in Revelations thirteen? Certainly does. The little beast, the lamb that come out of a land where there's no one. It had two little horn: civil and ecclesiastic powers. And he was a lamb: freedom of religion. And after while, they went together and he spoke like the dragon, and exercised all the power that Rome did before him. That's coming to our nation. You mark it down. You watch to the Confederation of Churches and the Catholic unite together. Watch what takes place."
(Thirteen is the number of a woman: the Judaeo Roman Catholic church is a woman and her US image is also a woman – Ed.).
"People who follow the Pillar of Fire will certainly have a rough time, but they're ready for the translation at that time, that's right, just ready to go. "For the Lamb overcome them," said the Bible, "And them that followed Him, because they were called the chosen and the faithful, the Elected of God" . . . (57-0901, Hebrews, Chapter IV, par. 103-104).
"And I will confess his name before My Father and His angels." Roll call in heaven! "If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Thou shalt call and I will answer Thee: Thou wilt have a desire to the work of Thy hands" (Job 14:14-15; 19:26; I Corinthians 15:51; I Thessalonians 4:16-18). The Great Shepherd is calling His sheep by name. The creative voice of God is calling them forth from the dust or changing their atoms even though they had not fallen asleep. It is the rapture. It is the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb and His Bride" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 286:1).
Isaiah 24:18, "And it shall come to pass, that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open (with hail, each stone one hundredweight – Revelation 16:21), and the foundations of the earth do shake." At the manifestation of the Sixth Seal, Seventh Trumpet, and Seventh Vial earth will move on its axis (Isaiah 24:13-23).
"Now we see a last-day happening! Let's just turn a few pages on, in Zechariah, and see what he said about it. Let's turn it over then for the last days . . . turn over to Zechariah 14:4-9. Listen close. And it's prophesying of His Coming, the last days. Listen close now. This is THUS SAITH THE LORD. It's the Scriptures, Zechariah 14 . . . "And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, again, which is before Jerusalem on the east . . . shall cleave in the midst thereof towards the east and towards the west, and there shall be a very great valley; . . . half of the mountain shall be moved towards the north, and half . . . towards the south. And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach from Azal: yea, you shall flee, like you fled in the days of the in the days of Uzziah . . ."
Another earthquake splitting open the earth! If you want to follow out a Scripture here, notice in this 5th verse, it applies that the cleaving of the Mount of Olives is due to an earthquake, and this is confirmed by Isaiah 29:6; Zechariah 14:4, Matthew 24:29-30 and Revelation 16:18-19. Exactly! What is it? The same prophet told of His first Coming (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6), seen His second Coming. Notice, "As in the days of the earthquake." See what the earthquakes are doing? See the predictions of them? (The coming Good Friday earthquake in California, 65-0725E, What is the Attraction on the Mountain, par. 96-97).
". . . how long it will take to save Israel. Watch how quick it'll come. In Isaiah the 66th chapter and the 8th verse, if you want to read it" . . . "Who has heard such a thing? Shall the earth be made and bring forth in one day? . . . for as soon as Zion travaileth, she brought forth her children."
"As soon as Zion saw that that was their Messiah, she was borned again in one day. Make reconciliations for sins and to make reconciliations for iniquity, uncleanliness. Oh, my. They did that what was evil, that which was wrong. Reconciliations was made for their iniquity. Number four: To bring in everlasting righteousness" (The Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel's Visit to Daniel, par. 47, 94-96).
Brother Branham explained, "When the First Seal was opened up, the First Trumpet sounded and the First Plague fell. When the Sixth Seal opened up, the Sixth Trumpet sounded and the Sixth Plague fell . . . take up the history . . . and show right here in the Bible when It said it would take place, and right exactly when it happened . . . (61-0618, Revelation Chapter Five, Part II, par. 196; 61-0806, The Seventieth Week of Daniel, par. 214; 63-0318, The First Seal, par. 62).
God made Ezekiel a watchman over the rebellious House of Israel; he represents God and Israel as John represents Christ's end-time Bride. The eastern barbarian kings would include Cain's people.
Isaiah means "The salvation of Jehovah"—His favourite expression, which means the same as the name Jesus, Who is the grand subject of his prophesies, and in Whom in the New Testament the name Jehovah merges, being never found in Scripture after the Old Testament. The Jahu in IsaJahu shows that Jaheveh is the more correct form that Jehovah.
Jeremiah means "the Lord Exalts," his life spanned the reigns of five kings of Judah: Josiah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah (650BC – 570 BC). Jeremiah was a Benjaminite of the village of Anathoth, about three miles from Jerusalem where he relocated. He was active as a prophet from his youth until after the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of Solomon's Temple in 587 BC. He wrote an epistle to the exiles at Babylon and died in Egypt.
Ezekiel means "God will strengthen" his life spanned 622BC – 570BC. He lived in Nipur among the exiles on the Chebar River, Babylon. Ezekiel did not write his Book; his prophecies were collected and written by the Great Assembly of 120 scribes, sages, and prophets including Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Ezra, Nehemiah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah, Mordechai and Zerubbabel. It existed from the early Second Temple period (around 516BC) to the early Hellenistic period which began with Alexander's conquests of 333BC – 332 BC, coinciding with the Persian hegemony over the nation of Israel.
Daniel means "God is my Judge." He lived from 457BC – 362BC and was probably of royal blood. He was carried to Babylon in Nebuchadnezzar's first deportation of captives in the last year of Nabopoassar's reign.
William Branham's family name was originally Branam, a form of Abram which means "exalted father." His father changed the name by adding "h" to Branham as God added and "h" changing Abram to Abraham which means "father of a great multitude." Here are some interesting illustrations of the Branham Coat of Arms. The Branham family and associated surnames appear to have originated in England, not Ireland.
From the Book of Revelation we recognize these great men of God prophesied 2,500 years of the history of the four Gentile world Empires, Messiah's crucifixion, the Gentile dispensation, first resurrection, the repatriation of Jacob's latter day elect, their rebirth, martyrdom, the consummation of life the millennium and the renewed heavens and renewed earth.
Daniel assured King Nebuchadnezzar that "there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and makes known what will take place in the latter days. This was your dream, and the visions in your mind while on your bed. Your thoughts turned to what would take place hereafter; this secret is revealed to me for the purpose of making the interpretation known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind."
"You, O king, were looking and beheld in your mind a great statue standing before you, it was huge and of extraordinary splendour, and its appearance was awesome. The head of the statue was of fine gold, its breast and its arms were of silver, its belly and thighs of brass, and its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. You watched until a stone was cut out without hands, and it smote the statue upon its feet of iron and clay, and crushed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, were simultaneously crushed together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the Stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. This was the dream; now we will tell its interpretation before the king."
"You, O king, are the king of kings to whom the God of heaven has given a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wherever the sons of men dwell, or the beasts of the field, or the birds of the sky, He has given them into your hand, and caused you to rule over them all. You are this head of gold. After you another kingdom, Medo-Persia, inferior to you will arise, then a third kingdom of bronze, Greece, will rule over all the earth. Then there will be a fourth kingdom, Rome, strong as iron: inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things, it will crush and break all these in pieces. In that You saw the feet and toes, partly of potters' clay, and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom, but it will have the strength of iron, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with common clay. And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron, and partly of pottery, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly brittle. [Potsherd describes the finished work of the potter, which as sherd is capable of being easily broken representing a kingdom that contains in itself the principle of increasing disruption and self-division devised by the enemy of God and man; by the instrumentality of the UN, WEF and multiculturalism which is miscegenation (Genesis 1:24), Rome, the World Council of Churches and Vatican II, causing spiritual hybridization (Genesis 1:24)]. And in that you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they will mingle themselves with the seed of men [marrying and intermarrying as it was in the days of Noah (54-0513, The Mark of the Beast, par. 154-155; 56-0902, The Handwriting on the Wall par. E-35; 63:0630M, Third Exodus, par: 215-219; Genesis 6:1-4; Matthew 24:37; Luke 17:27-29)]: but will not cleave to one another, even as iron does not adhere with pottery. And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and that kingdom will not be left for another people [as shown by the Capstone of the pyramid, Christ and His end-time Bride will smite the feet of the colossus], for it shall break in pieces and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will endure [unchanged] forever. In that you saw how the Stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: so the dream is true, and its interpretation is THUS SAITH THE LORD."
The statue which King Nebuchadnezzar enforced his subjects to worship was a likeness of God's prophet Daniel (Daniel 4:8; 5:11, 14), and it prophesies the four Gentile world empires that will rule earth to the consummation—Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Imperial and Papal Rome. It foreshadows how in the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week Rome will enforce worship of her false trinity of gods on pain of death (Revelation 13:15-18). The Capstone cut out of the mountain without hands will break in pieces and consume all of these kingdoms and become a great Mountain that fills the earth and stands forever as New Jerusalem. The Stature of the Perfect Man, Christ and His Church, the glorified last Adam—Husband and Wife—united together in invisible union as the apocalyptic millennium or fifth monarchy fills and holds dominion over the whole earth and eventually over the renewed heavens and renewed earth.
"Then king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face before Daniel in proper divine homage and commanded an offering of sweet incense should be presented to him. [As mentioned, the statue was an image of Daniel (Daniel 2:46; 4:8; 5:11, 14)]. The king answered Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing you were able to reveal this secret. The king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the prefects over all the wise men of Babylon. Then Daniel requested that the king set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the administration of the province of Babylon while he sat at the king's court".
The two legs indicate division in the iron kingdom between the eastern leg of Orthodoxy with its false trinity of gods and the western leg of Judaeo- Catholicism with its equally false trinity of gods (or BRICS and US-NATO). The Donation of Constantine is a forged Roman imperial decree by which the 4th-century emperor Constantine the Great supposedly transferred authority over Rome and the western part of the Roman Empire to the Pope. Composed probably in the 8th century, it was used, especially in the 13th century, in support of claims of political authority by the papacy.
Fifty days after the close of the Gentile dispensation Christ's Bride of all Ages will be "caught up to meet the Lord in the air" for the Wedding Supper of the Lamb. When we are caught up Satan will be cast down with his demons and from hereon the Lord will be dealing exclusively with Israelites in the Land of the Covenant through the ministry of their two witnesses, Moses and Elijah. Revelation 12:17-13:4, "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the Commandments of God (Israelites), and have the testimony of Jesus Christ (foolish virgin)".
"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads (defied Roman emperors) and ten horns (kingdoms into which Imperial Rome divided, now NATO Europe's black nobility, and Revelation 17:10-17), and upon his horns ten crowns (Papal Rome), and upon his heads the names of blasphemy (once Protestant denominations). And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed (when Imperial Rome became Papal Rome): and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon (Satan) which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"
They cry here, "Who can make war with her?" There's one man in the world, only one man in all of the world that has power as King Nebuchadnezzar saw in his vision . . . Them ten toes . . . That streak of Roman iron runs out in every nation in the world. There's not another man in the world got the say-so that the pope of Rome has. President Eisenhower can speak in the United States, and its law; but there's other nations he can speak into and it's nothing. But the Catholic hierarchy can speak in Rome and every nation will holler to it. That's right. There he is. Now, we're going to see where he's at, and see if that's him or not, see if he's pictured here right. All right.
Russia and the three . . . isms (Revelation 16:13-14). These historic notes vindicate Brother Branham's prophecy that the unclean spirits of Fascism and Nazism would be swallowed up by Communism. Communism is funded from New York and Moscow was ruled from New York City under the International Jewish bankers (J. P. Morgan, Jacob Schiff, Harriman, Rockefeller, Rothschild, Kuhn Loeb & Co., et Al). Jesus called the spirit of the end-time Laodicea, or Judaeo-Communism.
Brother Branham said, "Notice the name, Laodicea [means] 'the people's rights,' or 'justice of the peoples.' Was there ever an age like the twentieth century church age that has seen ALL nations rising up and demanding equality, socially and financially? This is the age of the communists where all men are supposedly equal, though it is only so in theory. This is the age of political parties, who call themselves Christian Democrats, and Christian Socialists, Christian Commonwealth Federation, etc. According to our liberal theologians Jesus was a socialist and the early church under the guidance of the Spirit practiced socialism, and thus we ought to do so today.
When the ancients called Laodicea the metropolis it was looking forward to the one-world government that we are now setting up. As we think of that city being the location of a great church council (the Synod of Laodicea, AD364) we see foreshadowed the ecumenical move taking place today, wherein very soon we will see all the 'so-called' Christians come together. Indeed, the church and state, religion and politics are coming together. The tares are being bound. The wheat will soon be ready for the garner.
It was a city of earthquakes; such earthquakes as finally destroyed it. This age will end in God shaking the whole world that has gone off to make love with the old harlot. Not only will world systems crumble, but the very earth will be shaken and then renovated for the millennial reign of Christ" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 320:1-3; Revelation 6:12; 11:13; 16:18-19).
"Satan is the sum of [intellectual wisdom or knowledge without revelation] and perfect in beauty" (Ezekiel 28:12). Brother Branham said, "Satan was the original archangel of God. He once dwelt in the heaven. He once was the greatest person in the heavens outside of God. He was God's right-hand man to fellowship, and he got puffed up in his heart" (COD, p. 375:69). "And the Lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their perverse race wiser than the children of Light" (Luke 16:8).
Satan and his children are certainly going about as a roaring lion, seeking whom they may devour (I Peter 5:8). We are at the end of the race almost up to the wire for the Pentecostal jubilee, and carnal dissemblers having infiltrated the circle of this Message with the hiss of the Serpent seek to trap unsealed believers in their own confusion as with a mantle.
Satan's people betrayed their host nations in World War I. The Blood of sixty millions ran in Russia's streets; then their faux tribesmen invaded Germany and set up the Weimar Republic, created hyperinflation, stole the wealth of native Germans and turned the nation into a brothel. Since World War II they have invaded and filled every Christian and Islamic nation with filth and sin. Hence Brother Branham called the United States "the prostitute of the nations. That's exactly what she is, and she's going to be worse than ever now. She's coming to her end. The Bible speaks of her doom, tells how she's going to be . . . lowdown, rotten, filthy, no good. . . Because she's turned down the Gospel Message and rejected the truth. She's horrible. She's got it coming; don't worry. I seen it in the vision as THUS SAITH THE LORD! It's coming. She's going to pay for her sins" (Revelation Chapter Four, Part III, p. 661:87).
He said, "The Angel of the Lord has appeared to me and told me, "Forget about the ameba. It's going to be all right." And I'm going to have a meeting that's going to consist of three hundred thousand people. "And God," I said, "my ministry is just now beginning." I said, "I want to base it; I want to tear that thing out from where it was, and get rid of all these here leaches, and things a hanging on, so I can get to the people and tell them what's the truth." And that's right. I said, "I'm tired of this and the man-made stuff anyhow. And I'm going to be where God can use me. I'm going to live right in that channel, as long as I live" (52-0731A, Early Spiritual Experiences, par. E-61).
One thing is certain, the elect of God will not be deceived in the revealed Word of God (Matthew 24:24). "If the elect should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out" (Luke 19:40). "But the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand" (Daniel 12:10).
What shall be the sign of Your Coming, and of the end of the world? Many people focus on the scientific explanation, or lack thereof, surrounding the Cloud. These issues pale in comparison to the real issue: are William Branham's accounts of the Cloud's formation credible? And if they are not, then where does that leave a person with respect to William Branham's overall credibility?
Because he was deeply concerned about the confused claims published by believethesign.com who neither understand nor believe the heavenly sign, a pastor wrote: Another important issue is the difference in dates pertaining to the Cloud's appearance and his hunting trip.
Brother Branham must have been home in Tucson on February 28, 1963 preparing for his hunting trip, unaware of this public appearance of "the sign of Christ's imminent 'parousia' Coming," Daniel 7:9, Revelation 1:14 and 10:1-7. Dr. James E. McDonald of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, University of Arizona wrote: "Approximately 175 letters have now been received from persons who observed the stratospheric cloud. Correspondence with those who indicated that they had taken photos has led to a present total of 85 photographs from 35 different localities in Arizona and New Mexico of the Stratospheric Cloud over Northern Arizona; and the Status of Investigation of the Northern Arizona Stratospheric Cloud of February 28, 1963. Daniel 7:10-14; Zechariah 14:4-5, Matthew 24:3, 30-31 and Luke 21:24-33 foretell a similar public sign will manifest over the Mount of Olives following the close of the Gentile dispensation. This will announce Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming to Israel heralding the "Kingdom of God" on earth for which His disciples sought before their re-birth (Acts 1:6). However we will go to "the Kingdom of heaven" for the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the Sky (Revelation 19:9).
An article in Life Magazine (May 17, 1963)—"High Cloud Ring of Mystery" over Arizona—caught Brother Norman's attention while visiting and he borrowed the magazine. When Brother Branham came by the following Sunday to take the Normans to dinner, he recognized the Cloud as that into which he was caught up from Sunset Mountain where he was hunting with Brothers Gene Norman and Fred Sothman on about March 8, 1963. He borrowed the magazine and reported his discovery to the Church on Saturday, June 1, 1963 in his sermon"Come, follow Me" (63-0601, par. 13-16). Also see "Standing in the Gap (63-0623M, par. 82), and "Is Your Life worthy of the Gospel? (63-0630E, par. 6-7).
This Cloud appeared twice, and Brother Branham could not have known of its appearance on February 28 or these photographs before May 26. Let us discern the logos from Brother Branham's rhema:
Come, follow Me, par. 13-16: "When I come [to Tucson], one thing, was by a vision, that [the Lord showed me in Jeffersonville on December 22, 1962 in which] I was standing above [about forty miles northeast of] Tucson up here when a blast went off. Brother Fred was there [but Brother Branham was alone picking sand burrs from his trouser legs] when it went off. [Brother Branham is speaking of the fulfillment of Revelation 10:1-4 on March 8, 1963 when he was hunting with Brothers Sothman and Norman at Sunset Mountain in the Coronado Forest]. And they [anonymous members of the public] took that picture [of the Cloud on February 28], you know, in the sky. And I didn't think much about it, never noticed it [until I saw "Life" magazine]. So it begin to impress me somehow the other day. And Brother Norman, Norma's father here, told me, said, "Did you notice this?"
"And just as I looked [at the magazine], right there was them angels just as plain as they could be, setting right there in that picture. You see? I looked to see when it was, and it was time, same 'bout day or two before or, day or two after I was up there [in Sunset Mountain]. I looked where it was at: northeast of Flagstaff [200 miles nor'-nor'-west from Tucson as the crow flies], or Prescott [165 miles nor-west from Tucson as the crow flies], which is below Flagstaff. Well, that's just where we was at (See?), just exactly." [Yes, "you was at" Tucson preparing for your hunt [in March] whereas the Cloud was 200 miles nor'-nor'-west of you as the crow flies in February]!
"Twenty-six miles high; why, vapour can't go for over four miles high, or five, moisture, any kind of fog or anything. You see? Planes fly at nineteen thousand. That's to get up above all the clouds. You see? And nineteen thousand is about four miles high. This is twenty-six miles high and thirty miles across it, and in the shape of the pyramid, if you've looked at the picture [of the Cloud that appeared over Prescott and Flagstaff on February 28, 1963]."
"And on the right-hand side, as I told you I noticed, outstanding, that Angel, there He is, chest out, wings back, coming right in, just exactly the way it was. I never noticed it when they first . . . There's been so many things. [In the Seventh Seal the Prophet explains the last angel was his own theophany]".
Standing in the Gap, par. 82: "And now, I didn't know at the time, that they were taking pictures of that, scientists was [on February 28], as the Angels lowered themselves from heaven to bring the Message. And you remember, I said the one on the right side of the constellation had His—kinda chest back, and His wings . . . You remember me saying that, all of you? And how that I watched him? He was very distinctive from the others. And I didn't know [until about May 26] they were taking a picture of it, 'cause immediately [after the Cloud of Revelation 10:1-4 manifested on March 8] I hurried east [to the Church in Jeffersonville, Indiana, but probably not before March 10 or 12]. But going back home to Tucson, there it was all through the papers that had been seen almost nationwide or plumb into Mexico, all the western States. And I think the "Courier" over here . . . It was on the Associated Press. How many saw a mysterious cloud in the sky? Let's see the hands. And now, the "Life" Magazine picked it up. And I have the article here this morning in the "Life" Magazine there, of the show . . . Now, here it is, the same time I was there. See the pyramid or the Cloud? I was standing just below this. And there . . . See the distinctive Angel on the right hand side? See the pointed wing of it? Just exactly what was said. And here's interview of Mexico and different places from where they took the picture. Now, this scientist here is trying to get all the information about the picture that he can, about the people who has the picture. He's studying it".
The Lord Jesus opened the First Seal nine days after this public sign appeared over Flagstaff on February 28. He daily unveiled the revelation of the Seals to His Prophet "in the little room" at Brother and Sister Wood's Jeffersonville home where he was praying and studying. He delivered the rhema of their logos from March 17 to 24, 1963 in absolute ignorance of the appearance of the Cloud on February 28, photographs or media interest, until May 26. Were news of the Cloud noised abroad at that time, "Life" Magazine would have published it before May 17, or not at all.
In spite of the Judaeo-Catholic church and the truly exceptional imagination of some Brothers, angels are the theophanies of human beings, without wings. Brother Branham was referring to the swept back appearance of the Lord's beard in the Cloud as it 'flew' eastward. In Malachi 4:2 we read, "Unto you who fear My Name will the Sun of righteousness [Jesus Christ] arise with healing [restoration and glorification] in His wings [His beams are likened to the outstretched wings of a bird]; and the righteous will go forth [rejoicing] as calves released from the darkness of the stall to frisking and leaping for joy in spring pastures" (Isaiah 30:26; Jeremiah 30:17; Revelation 1:16). The evening-time Light is restoring and building faith in us for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation (Joel 2:25; Zechariah 17:7; Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11; 24:27-28; Ephesians 1:17-23; Revelation 10:7; 18:1).
The glory of the Lord represented in this Cloud is made up of the theophanies of the seven angels and their converts, including you and every member of Christ's end-time Bride who was also present in theophany when the Lamb claimed the Book (Revelation 5:8-14). Redemption is over, and since we were predestinated to be reborn of the fullness of the Word, we were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary. This is "that great Cloud of witnesses . . . the general assembly and Church of the Firstborn who are written in heaven" (I Thessalonians 4:13-14; Hebrews 12:1, 22; Jude 14).
Is Your Life worthy of the Gospel? par. 12 (63-0630E): "I'd say 8:00 o'clock or 9:00 [on March 8, 1963], wouldn't you think something like that, Brother Fred; maybe 9:00 o'clock, something? I run over on this side quickly to keep the javelinas from seeing me. They're wild boar, you know, and they're pretty scary."
"So I went over the hill this way and started to run up the hill, and I just run along in a little what we call a dog trot; and all of a sudden the whole country just rung out. I never heard such a terrific blast. Just shook and the rocks rolled. And I felt like I must've jumped five feet off the ground, looked like. It just scared me. And I thought, "Oh, my . . ." I thought I'd gotten shot, that somebody . . . I had on a black hat. I thought they might've thought it was a javelina running up the mountain, somebody had shot me. It went so loud right on me like that. Then all at once something said, "Look up." There it was. Then He told me, "It's the opening of those Seven Seals; turn home." So here I come".
I expect you now recognize that the pillar of Cloud appeared to the public over Prescott 165 miles nor'-west and Flagstaff 200 miles nor'- nor'-west of Tucson in the evening from around 1840hrs MST on February 28, 1963 to fulfil the requirement of Psalm 19:1. And that the same Cloud appeared a second time to the Prophet and only to him forty miles north east of Tucson between about 0900hrs and 1000hrs MST mid-morning on March 8, 1963 to fulfil his vision of December 22, 1962.
It is the Rising of the Sun, par. 8-9 (65-0418M): "Realizing that our time is limited here, especially for those friends who are listening in by this telephone, I would like to call your attention this morning to a picture that some time ago was taken by the camera of a vision that I had [received on December 22, 1962 and recounted on December 30] here at the Tabernacle [in the sermon, "Is This the Sign of the End, Sir?" (62-1230E, par. 8-9)] of leaving Indiana to [relocate to] Arizona, where I was to meet in the form of a pyramid, seven Angels. Not knowing what would happen, later when I got there, thinking it was the end of my life, that no one could stand the blast . . . (And I'm sure all of you are acquainted with the story). And then in Sabino Canyon one morning like this [at about 8.30am in early January 1963, soon after relocating to Tucson], while in prayer, there had been a sword placed in my hand and said, "This is the Word and the Sword of the Word."
Later [on March 8, 1963] the Angels appeared as was prophesied [in the vision of December 22, 1962]. And at the same time, [actually without his knowledge on February 28] a great cluster of Light left to where I was standing and moved thirty miles high in the air and around the circle, like the wings of the Angels, and drawed into the skies a shape of a pyramid in the same constellation of Angels that appeared.
It is essential to discern the logos from Brother Branham's rhema as he frequently conflates the two visitations of the Cloud. Whilst the appearance of the Cloud on February 28 was a public testimony, his assumption from Mount Sunset into the glorious Cloud of God's Presence on March 8 was seen and experienced by himself alone as on the Day of Atonement Israel's high priest entered the Presence alone and only he saw the Shekinah in the Holy of Holies.
The main photograph in Life Magazine was taken over Flagstaff; the small pictures were taken from Prescott, Phoenix, and Winslow, a circumference of roughly 200 miles centered at Prescott. As the Cloud was twenty-six miles high and thirty miles across it would have been overhead wherever one was in that circle. Several months later Brother Branham reminded us that God always signifies major events in the heavens before they take place (Genesis 1:14; Psalm 19:1-5). He also said. "Did you notice before the Seven Seals were revealed, the great mysterious Light showed forth in the heavens up here above Tucson where we were."
The Shekinah manifest as the Pillar of Cloud on two occasions and at two different locations. The first occasion was on February 28 when it appeared for a public witness seen by thousands and noted by scientists and the media unbeknownst to the Prophet until May 26. The second occasion was over Sunset Mountain when Christ opened the Seven Seals "(Is Your Life worthy of the Gospel," par. 13) when Brother Branham was physically caught up into the "great a Cloud of witnesses," showing the Church Ages and Christ's mediation for ignorance were fulfilled. The "constellation" or alignment of the angels' Messages of PART-Word and PART-Spirit signify "that which is perfect [or complete]" and we must "look away [from the messengers] to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith" (I Corinthians 13:10; I Thessalonians 4:14; Hebrews 12:1-2; Revelation 4:1-8; 6:1; 18:4). His assumption confirmed his "new commission" and he was told to return to Jeffersonville where the Lord would reveal the mystery of the voices of the Seven Thunders, which is the revelation of the unwritten Seventh Seal expounding the mystery of the six written Seals. Underestimating the Prophet's hunting prowess I reckoned this had occurred on March 9, 1963, however I later learned that his eldest daughter, our late Sister Rebekah Smith, had said that the correct date was March 8. No one but the Prophet himself saw this manifestation of the Shekinah, which he later 'recognized' from photographs of its visible public manifestation taken eight days previously.
Revelation 6:1, "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the Seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come".
believethesign.com does not believe, but questions: "Is William Branham Credible? . . . The Scientific Explanation is: On February 28, 1963, a thrust assisted Thor rocket was launched from pad 75-3-5 at Vandenberg Air Force base in California carrying a Keyhole 4 military surveillance satellite. The rocket started to veer off course and was intentionally destroyed at an altitude of 146,000 feet at 1:52pm . . ."
Be this as it may it is irrelevant because the "blast" or single "thunder" of Revelation 6:1 and the Cloud into which Brother Branham was caught up according to the vision and dreams disclosed to the Church in December 1962 manifest not on February 28, 1963 but on March 8, unseen by anyone but God's Prophet.
On January 26, 1963, before the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International Convention in Phoenix the Lord spoke through his prophet expressing His complete displeasure with them and their system, "like so many others, they were now just another organization" (Revelation 3:17-20). After stating the Lord's anger, he was whirled around by the Holy Spirit in two circles, and as he left the platform he cried with a loud voice, "Come out of her My people"!
Within moments the international directors were summoned to a hastily arranged executive session. There nineteen men passed a motion stating that "No longer would William Branham be invited as a speaker to FGBMFI functions." The motion passed seventeen to two. Following the passing of the motion, Carl Williams and Clay Sonmore (both executive vice-presidents of the FGBMFI) tendered their resignations if this motion was left to stand and remain on record. In deference to them as persons whose resignations might make waves, the motion was rescinded and removed from the record.
Even though most of these men re-voted to remove the motion from the record, they remained convinced that the ministry of this Prophet should be curtailed and effectively side-lined. From that day they despised the Word of the Lord. They murmured against the Prophet that God sent to the church of Laodicea. On February 28 the Lord Jesus Christ appeared in the heavens wigged as a judge looking down upon Phoenix, and the Pentecostal church along with the Seven Church Ages ended on March 8. William Branham was vindicated (Investments), like Micaiah in the days of the 400 prophets of Jezebel (I Kings 22).
Hebrews 10:30-31, "We know Him who said, Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, and also, The Lord will judge His people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God".
After preaching "Doors in a Door" in Tucson on February 23 Brother Branham received a three-page telegram from Mr. Ted Kipperman, a Jew in partnership with a Catholic named Ayers who was married to a Jewess. These photographers were engaged by the Baptist critic Rev. Dr. Best to take his photograph threatening to skin Brother Bosworth in the auditorium of the Rice Hotel in Houston on January 24, 1950. Six photographs of Dr. Best waving his fist at Brother Bosworth were blank. God would not allow the photographers to dishonour his aged servant. The seventh photograph portrayed Brother Branham overshadowed by the Shekinah. The telegraph was a deep apology by the Jewish photographer and an appeal to Brother Branham to intercede for his sister's son who was to be executed. Brother Branham postponed his hunting trip and drove to Houston where he entreated the governor in behalf of the boy and his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.
Then on March 4, Brother Branham preached "The Absolute" at a prayer meeting convened by the prison chaplain, his long time friend Raymond Hoekstra and immediately after the service he and Brother Norman drove 1,100 miles back to Tucson for the remainder of the Javelina pig hunting season which ran from March 1-10. The hunting party pitched camp on March 6 and Brother Branham shot his javelina the following day, March 7, and was picking a goathead from his trouser leg as shown in the vision when the "blast" went off on March 8.
"The Road to Sunset," an article published in the June 1992 issue of ONLY BELIEVE magazine discusses the Cloud photographed on February 28, 1963 and details the hunting trip in March; the "blast," his union in the cloud of angels, and his new commission.
