Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; we are
pleased to have you with us in fellowship around God's unchanging Word. It is late, but not too late if you act now! Don't be like the
Lord's Servant nation blinded by the over-weaning gall of chutzpah and lying unbelief that us Gentiles cannot be His Sons and Daughters.
Your brother-in-Christ
Now the non-elect of the nations are blinding themselves by impersonating the Word of a day gone by. Be alert, do your homework, confirm
God's promises for this day. Christ's end-time Bride will be gone before Israel is defeated (Zechariah 14:1-2), before earthquakes shake
earth on its axis, causing the stars to fall before a blackened sun, and lunar volcanism redden the Moon. Tsunamis will cross oceans—closing
the last pages of written history. After we go Home Moses and Elijah will return to the Promised Land to glean 144,000 elect souls.
The prophesied mass exodus of non-Semitic Mongol-Turkic self-styled Khazars from Israel's Promised Land to the lands of the
Hun and Genghis Khan is beginning to unfold in the media. Repatriation of Jacob's bloodline to the Land of their Covenant is essential.
Men of the purest lineage living without the Land are without the Covenant. "If Israel's casting away enabled whomsoever will of Adam's
race to be reconciled to God, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead" (Romans 11:15).
I pray the Light of our main article; Zechariah Chapter Fourteen – Part IV foreshadows things that are to be, for the Capstone came
down in 1963. It will not be long before the two olive trees empty the Golden Oil on 144,000 elect Israelites (Zechariah 4:7-14).
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.

Freemasons picked every Bishop in the World
October 12, 2026 — Fr. Charles
Murr opens up about the spiritual and institutional unraveling that followed the Second Vatican Council, recalling how ambiguity, failed
leadership and compromises with modern ideologies destabilized the church from within. The true crisis, he argues, came not from the
Council's texts but from their misinterpretation and misuse by poorly informed clergy. The Council did not create the crisis. The men who
implemented it did.
The aftermath of Humanae Vitae marked a collapse in Episcopal authority. Public dissent went unpunished. Relativism infiltrated moral
theology. Liturgical experimentation and the loss of sacred discipline unmoored Catholics from tradition. And, Fr. Murr reveals, a Freemason
picked every bishop in the world. The infiltration was not accidental. It was systematic. Fr. Murr traces the roots of today's crisis to a fateful
moment when the Church exchanged clarity for confusion and obedience for opinion. The ambiguity was intentional. The consequences were
devastating. And the faithful are still living with them. The question is whether the Church will recover what was lost—or continue down the
path that led to this moment. The answer may determine whether the faith survives. Full story: lifesitenews.com

US claims Space Weapons to Fight around Moon
September 18, 2026 — US Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink
said on September 14, 2026, at the National Harbor Air, Space & Cyber Conference that: "The United States now has space control weapons in
orbit capable of defending joint forces against hostile action."
"For more than a decade, we have expressed our concern about the development of space weapons by the Chinese, Russians and other
countries. We are working to ensure our protection and our ability to operate in this environment, as we have done for decades."
washingtonpost.com.
Contrary to Troy Meink's statements, Russia and China have always claimed that they do not deploy weapons in space. By signing the 1967
Outer Space Treaty, the United States committed itself not to place weapons of mass destruction in Earth orbit. Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine said at the end of the conference: "Our task, my friends, is to adapt right now, so the Joint Force is
prepared to fight, endure and win in global contested environments, from the seabed to cislunar space. Our United States Space Force must
provide unrivaled space superiority and sustain the associated networks, domain awareness, data advantage that the joint force needs to win in
space both now and in the future. We must now assume that our forces will be tracked by autonomous systems, scrambled across the entire
spectrum and tracked in real time. AI is already a reality and it is transforming the way the armed forces perceive, analyze, decides and acts."

The Lie of 9/11, 2001 still Shapes All Our Lives
September 15, 2026 — The events of September 11, 2001, do not
belong to the past. They extend directly into the wars in Ukraine, Palestine, and Iran. It is possible to mistake the enemy and remain
fixated—in admiration—on a power that sows chaos and misery. Yet, blinding oneself to the truth leads only to being plunged, in turn, into that
same chaos and misery.
If the insistence on lying—lying constantly, lying repeatedly, even 25 years later—persists, it is because the stakes remain high: massacres
continue in Ukraine, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Iran. Yet, these events cannot be understood without linking them to what
unfolded on that day.
Today, hundreds of millions of people are convinced that the three World Trade Center towers did not collapse due to the impact of two airliners
and that no plane struck the Pentagon. However, far fewer are willing to admit—as I demonstrated at the time—that these attacks were nothing
more than a staged event designed to mask a coup d'état.
And yet, President Bush was indeed removed from his post at 9:35 a.m. by his counter-terrorism advisor, Richard
Clarke [1]. The White House was completely evacuated. All members of Congress—both senators and representatives—along with some of their
staff, were taken by the Secret Service to the Greenbrier bunker, located 40 kilometers from Washington. They were locked inside "for their own
safety." For a few hours, a mysterious "continuity of government" assumed actual power. It had been established by President Dwight
Eisenhower during the Cold War [2]. However, under the presidential decree in force at the time, it was only supposed to be activated in the
event of nuclear war—specifically, if the President, the Vice President, and the presiding officers of both houses of Congress were dead or
incapacitated.
President Bush was shuttled from one military base to another. He ended up at Offutt Air Force Base—headquarters of the Strategic Command
(responsible for the nuclear deterrent)—where Warren Buffett and top executives from the upper floors of the World Trade Center were
waiting for him [3].
For seven hours, George W. Bush negotiated his survival. It was agreed that he would remain in office if he consented to implement the agenda
presented to him. Cowardly, he agreed. Power was restored to him around 4:30 p.m., and he was able to return to Washington.
The conspirators' handbook—Edward Luttwak's "Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook"—examines various examples of coups d'état and
concludes that they can only succeed if they remain invisible [4]. That is precisely what happened that day: an invisible coup, since the
President remained in office.
From that moment on, the United States underwent a radical transformation. It reverted to its criminal past—characterized by the
genocide of Native Americans and a history of successive wars. It established a secret political police force employing 112,000 officials [5].
It institutionalized torture [6], even practicing it within the White House [7]. It abducted 280,000 people and subjected them to torture in
international waters [8]. They massacred more than a million human beings in Afghanistan and Iraq [9].
Germany and France were the only nations to oppose the war against Iraq. Yet, on December 9, 2003, France 2 gave Edward Luttwak a platform
on its evening news broadcast. He declared: "Chirac has a bill to settle with Washington! He has a long bill to settle with Washington. And in
Washington, a decision has clearly been made to make him pay that bill. Chirac wanted to feast and gorge himself at the expense of the United
States on the diplomatic stage, and, naturally, he is going to pay the price!"
The horrors perpetrated by the United States should have come to an end with the 2016 election. That was Donald Trump's promise—one
he stated and repeated time and again. While he did indeed put a stop to US funding for Al-Qaeda and its affiliates, the massacres
continued under different guises. Despite being mired in all manner of scandals—including two impeachment proceedings—and betrayed by
nearly his entire team, and despite efforts to block his re-election, he made a comeback in 2024.
We all witnessed how, abandoning the principles he had always championed, he launched a needless and unjust war against Iran. Why
against Iran?
On September 23, 2010, as the United States was preparing to attack Iran, President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivered a historic speech before the United Nations General Assembly [10]. He explained that the wars against the
Afghan and Iraqi peoples had been officially launched on the grounds that their governments had participated in organizing the 9/11 attacks. In
the eyes of the United Nations, therefore, these were not merely internal US events, but international acts of war. Consequently, he called for a
United Nations investigation into these events, which many regard as inconsistent or implausible. Then he set forth his personal vision of
politics as a calling in the service of his people.
Stunned, President Barack Obama—a former CIA agent—rushed onto the BBC's Farsi (Persian) service the very next day [11]. He acknowledged
Iran's right to nuclear energy and asked that, in exchange, Iran drop the 9/11 issue.
Although President Obama did not specify this, it is worth noting that since 1988, Iran's nuclear research has focused not on military
applications but on a civilian one: fusion. This technology could liberate developing nations by providing them with virtually limitless
energy.
As a side note, the communications advisor who organized this interview, Ben Rhodes, was the man who had drafted two absurd reports
designed to bury democratic debate: one regarding the 9/11 attacks and the other concerning the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
A few weeks later, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu contradicted him. He announced that his ultimate goal was to prevent Iran
and Pakistan from pursuing research into nuclear fusion [12]. In doing so, he demonstrated that he was unconcerned with the welfare of
his own citizens, focusing instead solely on preserving global dominance for major energy companies.
For two years, peace gradually returned to the world. However, betrayed by his own camp, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was unable to put forward his
chief of staff as his successor; meanwhile, other associates—including Vice President Hamid Baghaie—were arrested on secret charges, tried
behind closed doors, and sentenced to 15 years in prison [13].
The war against Iran, which began on February 28, 2026, is not a response to any new situation. It is merely a resumption of the course of
action halted by President Obama in 2010. The justifications put forward by the propaganda machine are pure fabrications. There were never
40,000 Iranians murdered by the Revolutionary Guards. Indeed, the wave of young people enlisting in the corps since the war began proves as
much: they know they are not murdering their people, but protecting them.
Donald Trump, who was the first prominent figure to ridicule the official version of 9/11, was elected in
2016 to uncover the truth about those attacks. Yet, in 2026, he aligned himself with the "Deep State" and chose to doze off during the
ceremony at the Pentagon. Meanwhile, his former supporters are preparing the next phase of the resistance around Tucker Carlson.
Repeating the same absurdities about the September 11 attacks twenty-five years later defies explanation. It was possible to overlook the
laws of physics in the heat of the moment. Today, however, persisting in the claim that the Twin Towers collapsed in on themselves due to jet
fuel and that Tower 7 followed suit—or that an invisible plane struck a ground-floor archway at the Pentagon without damaging the doorframe—
is a matter of blind belief or psychiatry.
If our political leaders and journalists have no explanation for these attacks, they should admit it. They are under no obligation to subscribe to
my analysis. In the land of Descartes, they pride themselves on being rational. Full story: voltairenet.org
Iran is Winning its Asymmetric War against Two Superior Nuclear Powers: the United States and Israel
June 8, 2026 — The 2005 book "How
the Weak Win Wars: Asymmetric Conflict Theory," by University of Chicago scholar and former military intelligence analyst Ivan
Arreguin-Toft, appears to be the bedside reading of the Iranian government under attack from the US nuclear superpower and the medium-sized
nuclear power Israel—which benefits from the deliberate complicity of the Argentine pro-Zionist Rafael Grossi, discredited director of the
International Atomic Energy Agency, who turns a blind eye to Netanyahu's clandestine arsenals, evading UN inspection and the signing of the
Non-Proliferation Treaty that the US is asymmetrically and unfairly demanding of Iran. In the 5th century BC, the omnipotent Athenian envoy—in
the famous Dialogue of the Melians narrated by Thucydides during the Peloponnesian War—demanded the surrender of the island of Melos with
a formulation of political hyperrealism: "The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must". Benjamin Netanyahu and
Donald Trump, 2,455 years later, demanded the same peremptory capitulation from the Iranians.
In his remarkable work, Ivan Arreguin-Toft convincingly argues that "asymmetric warfare" depends on the interaction between the respective
strategies of the strong and the weak, rather than on brute, material power. According to Arreguin-Toft, when the strong and the weak employ
similar strategies, the former generally prevails, while when they employ opposing strategies (sic!), the weak's chances of victory increase,
since the weak win when this transforms the strong's superiority into a distinct political disadvantage, which the Islamic Republic of Iran has
implemented to the letter: "The probability of victory or defeat in asymmetric conflicts depends on the interaction of the strategies used by
weak and strong actors," since "when actors employ opposing strategic approaches, weak actors have a much greater chance of winning."
Ivan Arreguin-Toft analyzes 197 asymmetric conflicts and asserts that the strong prevail in 75% of cases in general (when the weak directly
confront the strong), while, since World War II, the weak have achieved victories in more than 50% of cases when they opt for opposing tactics

Comment: Iran neither retaliates nor negotiates; it continues its global revolution. The Iranian people are not so much interested in
negotiating an end to hostilities as in establishing a new international order. They are willing to suffer in order to advance their own agenda.
Washington may win militarily, but it is Tehran that is making political progress.
Zechariah Chapter Fourteen – Part IV
In Isaiah 64:1-12 the prophet pleaded with the Lord to put an end to
Israel's misery by a visible and grand manifestation of vengeance upon their foes as when He came down upon Mount Sinai in Fire, causing the
mountain to melt and flow, "that the nations may tremble at Your Presence . . . behold, we beseech You, we are all your people."
Isaiah speaks as if Israel were a unity of blood and faith without distinction between the godly and the wicked, but his prophecy is set in
the end-time when statistics in the Encyclopaedia Judaica show well over ninety percent of "Israelis" and so-called "Jews" are
non-Semitic imposters: "aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope of any kind
(I Thessalonians 4:13), and without God in the world" (Ephesians 2:12). Of course there will be no temple in the New Jerusalem, for Christ and His Bride is the temple. But the River of Life returns
with the visible and grand manifestation of Christ's 'parousia' Coming to Jerusalem in vengeance upon Israel's foes as when He came down upon
Mount Sinai in Fire. The River of Life is not a material stream but simply a testimony of His revelation of Himself and a further evidence that
since Calvary the blessed embrace of heaven and earth is no longer restricted to the one people in one locality but diffused to "whomsoever
will" throughout the whole world. This testimony will be reconfirmed through the ministry of two Hebrew witnesses, Moses and Elijah
"one on this side of the bank of the River, and the other on that side of the bank of the River." Christ, "the Man clothed in linen,
who was upon the waters of the River" . . . is . . . "the tender twig" from the cedar of Lebanon gathering under its shadow "all fowl of
every wing" (Ezekiel 17:22-24; Leviticus 16:4; Daniel 12:5; Matthew 17:1-9).
In response to Isaiah's prayer the Lord foretells how the Gentiles will find Christ. Isaiah 65:1-2: "I am sought by those who did not
inquire after Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me: I said, Here am I, here am I, to a nation that did not call on My Name"
(Romans 10:20). Then He retorts in their words the Jews' plea to being exclusively "called by His Name" (Isaiah 63:19): "I
spread forth My hands all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own devises." However Israel will
not be entirely cast off but 144,000 elect will be converted, blessed with eternal Life and "called by another Name"—Christian (Isaiah
65:1-16)! And as there is no distinction between Israelite and Gentile Christians (Ephesians 2:10-22) the distinction between Israelites and the
Gentile world will cease in the millennium when the entire Adamic race will be one Israel nation (Isaiah 66:15-24; Acts 1:6).
Zechariah 14:1-4, "Behold, the day of the Lord comes, and the spoil taken from you will be divided in the midst of the city. For I will gather
all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses plundered, and the women raped; and half of the city shall
go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then the Lord will go forth, and fight against those
nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. And His feet (indicating possession and judgment) shall stand in that day upon the Mount of
Olives (in the theophany of the Pillar of Cloud and holy Fire), before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives will cleave in two from east
to west by a very wide valley; so that one half of the mountain shall move northward, and the other half southward".
The Lord's standard, ensign or rallying point in Israel will appear as the Shekinah
or glory of His Presence (Isaiah 11:10-12; 49:22; 62:10; Ezekiel 43:1-2; Matthew 24:30-31), and the Mount of Olives will cleave in two (Isaiah
29:6; Zechariah 14:4; Revelation 16:19). Preceding Zechariah 12:3 by three and a half years, the divided mountain will be an "everlasting
sign" of the Lord's glory and the exodus from sin typed by their deliverance from Egypt. Israelites who escape through the valley
of His new mountains will herald this sign of Christ's 'parousia' Coming to their brethren dwelling among the Gentiles in the now Muslim lands of
the ancient Assyrian empire, to gather them for redemption to the Land of their Covenant (Matthew 17:1-8; Acts 1:11). The Edomite Jews will
seek to slaughter them at the hands of the colonies of the City of London—Australia, Canada, USA, and NATO (Genesis 3:15; 27:39-41; I Peter
5:8), making Zechariah 14:4-5 (Joel 2:32) the antitype of Matthew 24:16-21.
In Isaiah 66:18-20 the Lord declares, "I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see My glory. I will send (Israelites)
who escape to the nations, to Tarshish (Lebanon), Pul (an island in the Nile between Egypt and Ethiopia), and Lud (Lydia, now Turkey), to Tubal
(south of the Caucasus Mountains, between the Black Sea and Araxes, probably) Georgia, and Javan (Greece and Asia Minor), to the isles afar
off, that have not heard My fame, neither seen My glory; and they shall declare My glory, (Jesus Christ "from whom the whole Family of
God in heaven and earth is named," to the Israelites) among the Gentiles. The glory of God is employed as the Lord's standard,
His sign or rallying point in Israel (Isaiah 11:10-12; 49:22; 62:10, and Ezekiel 43:1-2). "And they will bring all your
brethren for a (precious unbloody) offering to the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and
upon swift beasts, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the
Lord." These verses confirm that the Mount of Olives will cleave at the opening of the Sixth Seal beneath "the sign of the Son of man
coming (to Israel) in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory" (Matthew 24:30-31; Ezekiel 43:2; Revelation 7:2).
Not only will Israel be attacked, Brother Branham taught us the United States, that rogue nation and image to the beast of Imperial Rome
will be invaded, her homes plundered and the women raped. This eventuality will be obvious to anyone acquainted with the atrocities of
America and her allies from World War II to date, devastating defenseless states whose leaders do not kowtow, looting national resources,
slaughtering citizens, and poisoning the land with carcinogens in quest for global hegemony with massive world depopulation (Revelation
11:18). United States and French forces slaughtered 15 million Russians and Germans, and the US has bombed 200 cities since World War II.
"What's going to happen? There's a sputnik up there. And what would happen? The nation would surrender, of course; that's the only decent
thing the government could do. Then what happens? Wave after wave of ship loads of soldiers, wave after wave of airplanes would land in this
nation. The women would be ravished in the streets. What would you do? It belongs to them. Kicked out of your home, they'll take it over.
What'll happen to you young girls, and you young men, and all of you at that time? Sin has to be paid for. No matter what nation it is, or who it
is, it does it, individually, or a nation, it's going to be paid for. And a bunch of brutal, ungodly, whisker-jawed, communistic soldiers would grab
your wives and ravish them, your young girls. And you'd stand and like it; there's nothing you can do about it.
What causes that? Because you have listened to such stuff as these television programs on rock-and-roll and sin, and some cold formal
preacher not able to interpret the Supernatural: the handwriting is on the wall. That's right. And we are weighed in the balance and
found wanting" (58-0108, Handwriting on the Wall, par. 77, 84-90).
"There's not one thing left to keep it from happening according to prophecy" (58-0309M, Handwriting on the Wall, par. 54; Isaiah 13:9-16;
Ezekiel 38:3; Daniel 11:40).
Satan, cast down to Earth at the translation of Christ's Bride will incarnate Rome's pope. Marshalling "a universal assemblage of
Catholics at the core; grouped with them the Protestant denominations, sects and churches; grouped around them believing Jews, believing
Muslims, believing Hindus, believing Buddhists . . . a universal religious assembly" (Uri Dowbenko, Bushwhacked: Inside Stories of True
Conspiracy, p. 213), he will restore peace, free the United States mainland from its Russian occupiers, and be acclaimed president of one
totalitarian world government, the groundwork for which has been laid by a succession of reprobate US presidents.
His loudest cheerleaders will be (once) Protestant American citizens trained over a century, like Pavlov's dogs, to salivate for material
comfort: souls imprisoned now in wage and tax slavery beneath the strong delusion of unthinking mushroom existence, avoidance of personal
responsibility and accountability. Among Fabians, Lucifer is Maximus; his covenant with Jewry's banksters will refinance the failed US dollar with
gold backing (Daniel 9:27), salvage their otherwise worthless script, restore international trade and commerce, and "all the world will
worship the dragon (Lucifer) who empowered the beast: and they will worship the beast, saying, Who can compare with the beast? Who is able
to make war with him"?
Brother Branham declared Revelation 13 "shows the power of the Roman Catholic Church and what she will do through organization. Remember
this is the false vine. Let it name the Name of the Lord, it does so only in a lie. Its headship is not of the Lord but of Satan. It finally ends up
completely identified with the beast. The whore riding on the scarlet beast distinctly shows her power is the god of force (Satan) and not our
God, the Lord Jesus Christ" (Daniel 11:38).
Revelation 13:17 states emphatically that "Rome will gain absolute control of global commerce, for no man can buy or sell apart from her. This
is borne out in Revelation 18:9-17 that shows her involvement with kings, princes, and merchants, all of whom have to do with Rome and
commerce".
"In Revelation 13:14, we learn that the beast spreads his influence through the image which was built for him (perhaps by Executive Order). The
image that is made is a world-wide ecumenical council, wherein all the organized churches will get together with the Roman Catholics (they are doing it even
now). It is quite possible this union will come in order to stop the power of communism. But since communism like Nebuchadnezzar
has been raised up to burn the flesh of the harlot, Rome will be overcome and destroyed. Take note that everywhere the Romish church went,
communism followed. It has to be that way. And let me warn you now, don't get thinking communism is your only enemy. No sir. It is the
Catholic church also and even more so" Nostra Aetate
(An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 236:1-3).
Daniel 11:31-45 describes the first three and a half years of Jacob's Trouble, synonymous with Christ's unrecognized second or (Gk.) 'parousia'
Coming to Israel. This is confirmed by Daniel 8:15-27 and 12:1-10 where it is called "the time of the end" when her Seven Trumpet
mysteries revealed by the two witnesses of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11 will be understood. In this period Rome will be consolidating global
imperium as her US image is doing now by murdering recalcitrant national leaders, crushing nations with irresistible force, and taking over their
natural resources. After Rome has restored peace and "divided the land of Israel for gain" under the 1947 United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 as prophesied in Daniel 11:39, Zechariah
14:2 and Revelation 16:19, the king of the South (Egypt), "the king of the North" (Russia), and "the kings of the East" (Revelation 16:12,
Genesis 14:1, Rome's historical protagonists, the now Muslim nations of the once Parthian, Assyrian, Median and Babylonian empires, and
perhaps China which the US has encircled), will "trouble him".
Daniel 11:33-34, "Those who are wise among the Israelites will have a wide teaching ministry, imparting
understanding to many, but they will be in constant danger, many dying by fire or sword, incarceration and plunder. Eventually these
pressures will subside, and by flatteries certain ungodly men will pretend to offer a helping hand, only to take advantage of them." Thus it
is not just the Judeo-Roman church to which the Israelites will succumb but her two-horned image, the United States of America (Revelation
13:11) and the traditional treachery of the Khazars and Edomites within her gates.
Zechariah 14:3, "Then the Lord will go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle." Brother Branham
said, "God will stand like He did in the valley for the children of Israel and fight again. That will not take place until the Gentile dispensation is
finished. And when that time is finished, she's cut off" (COD, p. 77:111). I believe the Prophet means that this will be Zechariah 12 after
the close of the Gentile dispensation and after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week. He was pointing back to II Chronicles 20:15,
22-24 in the days of good king Jehoshaphat when the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel the Levite and prophesied, "the battle is not
yours, but God's. . . . And when Judah began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount
Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount
Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another. And
when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked to the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the
earth, and none escaped".
II Chronicles 20 indicates the general course, as shown in former instances (Joshua 10:14-42; 23:3; Judges 4:15) in which the Lord Himself
went forth against the foe and fought for His people (I Samuel 17; II Kings 19; Isaiah 29:7-8). Zechariah 4:7 prophesied, "Then I asked
[Brother Branham] the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? The angel that talked with me answered; Do you not know what
these are? And I said, No, my lord. Then he said, This is the Word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by the might (of many), nor by the power ([of
one man), but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. Who are you O great mountain in the presence of Zerubbabel? Be a plain! And He shall bring
forth the Capstone (and the Temple of the Body of Christ) accompanied with shouts of, Grace, grace to it, (that it stands fast forever").
Zechariah's vision embodied a compound prophecy intended in the first instance to encourage Zerubbabel in the work of reconstructing the
Temple with the assurance the metaphorical mountain of difficulties before him will be made a plain by the grace of God, and without the
intervention of human strength of any description the Holy Spirit will accomplish the work so that the Capstone shall be brought forth from the
place where it was turned from rude matter into due form, and the completed work hailed as wholly of "grace" (Isaiah 46:30; Joel 2:32;
Zechariah 14:4-8; Matthew 21:42). Zechariah looked forward to the completion of the body of Christ which is God's true Temple, and to the new
heavens and new Earth promised by the cleaving of the Mount of Olives making ready for the Mount Zion rapture as the 1,500-mile high Mount
Zion begins its rise so that the "great mountain will become a plain".
Brother Branham said, "There'll be plenty of room in the new earth. . . It'll be renovated by fire, but
there'll be no more sea. The explosion dries up the sea, erupts the earth. Oh, my, and remember fifteen hundred miles square. What a
City. But remember the sea is gone. . . In the earth's time of purifying by its baptism of fire, there will be volcanics, such as this earth
exploding, and will push up a pyramid-like mountain. Plenty of room to do it; this whole thing'll be changed; the whole surface will be
changed. You got it? It'll push up a pyramid-like mountain. This would exactly be with the Word if it does it, which it will. . . if you have a one
dollar bill, they have the Seal of the United States, the eagle on one end, a-holding the spears, the coat of arms, as it were. And on the other
end, it's got the pyramid with the all-seeing eye on top of it. See, they didn't know what they were doing. And on there it's wrote in
Latin, and you'll find out it says, "This is the Great Seal. They (the Illuminati) didn't know what they were doing. (Maybe, but Thomas
Jefferson and John Adams (FDR's kinsmen) both became ardent Illuminati. This explains Roosevelt's policy. Alexander Hamilton was also in
service to the Illuminati but the international money-lenders decided Hamilton knew too much and could not be trusted any longer. He was
inveigled into a duel with an expert named Aaron Burr, who acted as his executioner). Neither did Caiaphas know he was prophesying.
There's the Great Seal. Here it is. See? The City, it's not just a flat cube like this, but it leans up so it can be seen. And upon
this Holy Mountain of the Lord, the Lord shall descend upon top of His Mountain. Here He is. That's the reason the Capstone wasn't put on by
Enoch. See? That's the reason the Capstone has to come now. And the Mountain will be pushed up and it'll be the Mount of the Lord,
and in here will dwell the redeemed" (64-0719M, The Future Home of the Heavenly Bridegroom, par. 364, 369, 380, 411-412).
Notice, "He shall bring forth the Capstone accompanied with shouts of, Grace, grace to it!" The Capstone to the Body of Christ is
Himself, the Word, the corn of wheat reproduced without hybridizing or denominational miscegenation with man-made creeds but "that
which is perfect" incarnate in His end-time Bride. "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout" (I Corinthians
13:10; I Thessalonians 4:16). The "Shout" was the "midnight cry" of the Prophet's Message, which is the fullness of the Word:
it is Christ the Logos (Matthew 25:6; Revelation 10:1-7). His end-time Bride, who alone can receive it praises the Lord for His mercy, declaring
their blessing is all of grace, grace: amazing grave.
This compound prophecy continues in Zechariah 14:4 where the earthquake cleaves the Mount of Olives when the Gentile dispensation ends in
apostasy. The escape of certain Israelites through the valley thus formed was foreshadowed by the earthquake that terminated God's
relationship with Judah's sinful king Uzziah and the escape of the Jerusalemites in his day. Zechariah 4:7 also prefigures the prophecy of I
Thessalonians 4:13-17 and Christ's 'parousia' Coming to us Gentiles: "then the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with Him" for
the resurrection and translation of His Bride of all Ages and His unseen 'parousia' Coming to Israel with the unrecognized "sign of the
Coming of the Son of man" in the Shekinah over the Mount of Olives (Revelation 10:1-4; Matthew 24:3; 30).
This event will confirm the hour and strengthen faith in the heart of Christ's Bride for the manifestation of the Sons of God in the time of our
latter rain, and confirm the hour and strengthen faith in the heart of believing Israelites in the time of their former rain (Hosea 6:3; Joel 2:23).
The 'third pull' in Christ's end-time Bride cannot be impersonated by might nor power or by the will of man; it will be by grace through faith, as
will the 'third pull' in the two witnesses by whom the Lord will fight for Israel in the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week. Revelation 11:5-6,
"And if anyone wants to harm them, Fire (of God's Word)] issues from their mouths and consumes their enemies. Anyone wishing to harm
them must be killed this way. These have power to shut the sky, so that no rain may fall in the days of their prophecy: and they have
power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire".
Zechariah 14:6-11 continues the compound prophecy, describing how the spirit of Laodicea has come upon all peoples in their attitude
toward the Lord following the last Church Age in 1963 when Christ's mediation was fulfilled. Today the people are "lukewarm, and neither
cold nor hot . . ." a day wherein "the light shall not be clear, nor dark," alluding to "we who are alive and remain" elect
Israelites not yet gathered to the land of the Covenant.
"And it shall come to pass in that time that the Light of God's Word will not be clear or dark: but (a Babel of confused opinion). This
unique period will be known to the Lord (and those who are constantly in the Word will know "the present Truth–what Jesus is
fulfilling now." Daniel said "the wise will understand and know their God, but none of the wicked will understand"
(Romans 11:25; Revelation 3:17-20): but it will come to pass, that at evening time there will be Light." A clear understanding of
Brother Branham's THUS SAITH THE LORD in the evening time of our Gentile dispensation after the end of the Church Ages has unveiled the
mysteries of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10:1-4 which are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals. These divinely revealed
mystery-truths have literally restored the heart of the children to the faith of their apostolic fathers (Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11; I
Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 10:7). At the close of the Gentile dispensation the fallen stars or denominational ministers will have no Light to
shine and the Moon or church will be as blood. Then two Hebrew witnesses will reveal the Light to Israel's elect remnant in their evening time,
and following our translation Satan will be cast down to Earth for the "time of Jacob's trouble" (Revelation 13:15-18).
Isaiah 13:10-16, Joel 2:30-3:1, Matthew 24:29, Acts 2:16-21 and Revelation 6:12-14 identify Zechariah 14:4-5 with the opening of the Sixth
Seal at the close of our dispensation. Jeremiah 4:1-23 describes the people of Israel and Judah returning to the land of the Covenant presently
occupied by non-Semitic Japhetic, Hamitc and Cainite impersonators (Jeremiah 30:3-8), while Revelation 7:2, Ezekiel 43:2 and Acts 1:11 show
Jesus Messiah returning from the west to seal these elect Israelites with the blessing of Abraham. "And I saw another Angel ascending from
the east, having the Seal of the living God: and He cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to smite the Earth and the
sea (with the curse of Malachi 4:6, which will include the annihilation of the United States, Vatican City State, and the consummation".
"And it shall be in that day, that Living Waters (of the Gospel) shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former or Dead Sea
for Israel's former rain, and half of them toward the hinder or Mediterranean sea, the latter rain to "we who are alive and remain: in summer
and in winter shall it be".
In the renewed heavens and Earth there will be neither Mediterranean nor Dead Sea. There will be "no more sea." Water is comprised of
two explosive gases. Brother Branham said when Earth receives "her baptism of Fire . . . all the water will explode . . . and thousands of miles
in the air will fly burning, hot lava" (64-0719M, The Future Home of the Heavenly Bride Groom and the Earthly Bride, par. 35:277; 64-1212,
Harvest Time, par. 47:336). I expect this will restore Earth's protective canopy, diffusing the Sun's rays uniformly throughout the world so that
subtropical conditions prevail from pole to pole. See Newsletter 715. But in the
millennium Satan shall be bound, so "earth shall be full of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" (Isaiah
11:9; Habakkuk 2:14; Revelation 20:1-3).
In Palestine the rivers normally run dry in the summer. However this metaphorical ever-flowing ever-increasing volume of water will not come
from occasional rainfalls or tributaries but from the perennial fountain of the renewed Presence of the Lord in Jerusalem. Joel 2:32 "And it
shall come to pass, that whoever calls on the Name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as
the Lord has said, and in the remnant the Lord shall call".
Ezekiel 47:1-2 describes how the Israelites will immerse themselves in the River of Life, or Holy Spirit, once represented by the Ark of the
Covenant in the Holy of Holies now flowing from the riven side of Jesus Messiah, then flowing from the Throne of God . . . as three steps of
faith: justification by grace through faith, sanctification, and the baptism with the Holy Spirit, which is the new birth.
"Be of sin the double cure,
Save me from its guilt and power".
Even the desert places of Earth will be made fruitful by the healing waters of the Gospel (Isaiah 35:1; Joel 3:18; Daniel 12:5-7; Revelation
22:1-2), and the Dead Sea whose bituminous waters faced the doomed cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and in which no vegetable or animal life
is to be found shall give place to Life, as symbolized by the healing of its death-pervaded waters. So when the Israelites "make
reconciliation for iniquity . . . the fountain will be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness"
and the nation will be born in one day (Daniel 9:24; Zechariah 13:1; Isaiah 66:8). "And at that time the Lord will be king over all the
land of Israel: in that day He shall be recognized and named as such" (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:21-25).
The trees of righteousness on either side of the River of Life are the Old and New Testament saints, offspring of Christ, the Tree of Life
(Psalm 1:3; Isaiah 53:10; 61:3). So we recognize that the prophecies of Ezekiel 40–48 are an allegory and should not to be understood as
literal. See The Logos and the Rhema.
Zechariah 14:10-11 again takes us forward to the new heavens and new earth, "All the land from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem shall
be changed into a plain: and [Mount Zion and New] Jerusalem shall be exalted, and inhabited in her place from Benjamin's gate to the place of
the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel to the king's winepresses. And men will dwell securely, and there shall be no
more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited." The ground of this security is that in New Jerusalem "there shall be no
more curse" (Revelation 22:3; Isaiah 2:2; Jeremiah 23:5). And by the grace of God we will all be there.
