Israel Favored Over 81,000 United Airline Employees
Baltimore, December 16, 2002 – "Middle class jobs are evaporating faster than Ariel Sharon can build another illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank and Gaza".
United has 81,000 employees and is the second largest airline in America. Recently, it asked for a $1.8 billion loan guarantee from Washington to avoid bankruptcy. The 9/11 tragedy, among other problems, had sent the company's fortunes spiraling. Unlike Israel, however, which has never gotten turned down for any loan guarantees from Uncle Sam, the Bush-Cheney administration said "no" to United, on December 4. Now, a once proud giant of the industry, is headed for Chapter 11.
Meanwhile, Sharon's Tel Aviv regime doesn't have any of those economic concerns. It doesn't have to worry about "overhead cost," "income," or "labor costs." All it has to do, is make a request for a loan guarantee to Washington and fill in the dollar amount. The higher the amount, the better. It knows, too, that it will not have to pay back the loan.

A Pox on Your House
"We interrupt the current programming to bring you this important news update . . . there has been a reported case of smallpox in Washington, D.C. . ."
What will happen next?
Pandemonium! The press has done its job over the last few months, reinforcing the belief an epidemic is about to occur, potentially causing millions of deaths. Americans thousands of miles from Washington will demand the smallpox vaccine — a vaccine with the highest risk of complications of any vaccine ever manufactured, and with a dubious track record for success.
However, because you are informed, you will have a different response. You will not panic. You will turn off the TV. You won't listen to your hysterical neighbors. And more importantly, you won't rush to be vaccinated. . .
Clearly, this effort to frighten people into compliance with harmful, if not lethal, smallpox vaccination needs to be exposed for what it is — a grave hoax and genocidal scam. (Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, D.M.D., M.A., M.P.H.).
I say "grave hoax" because there is no rational public health value in "mandating" a vaccine, most of which dates back to the 1950s, has been diluted five times for current consumption, without any scientific justification that it may be effective against any modern form of hyper-weaponized smallpox that derives from bioweapons laboratories in Iraq, North Korea, or Russia, as Bush administration and health officials have been warning, with its milieu of health and life-threatening consequences no less. I say "genocidal scam" since the terms best fit the promotion of this alleged preventative. The mass inoculation outcomes are consistent with the strict definition of genocide that includes "the mass enslaving and killing of people for economics, politics and/or ideology."
In this case the enslavement comes in the form of chronic degenerative diseases induced by the vaccine's side effect, enslaving people to drugs for the "management" of their diseases that effect mortality — the mass killing of people, in this case representing all races and religions.
Advice from an armour master: Forget everything you've ever seen on TV, in the movies, or read in a novel about this stuff, it was all a lie. These weapons are about terror, if you remain calm, you will probably not die. This is far less scary than the media and their "Experts," make it sound.
Chemical weapons are categorized as Nerve, Blood, Blister, and Incapacitating agents. Contrary to the hype of reporters and politicians, they are not weapons of mass destruction; they are "Area Denial," and terror weapons that don't destroy anything. For complete text: Mark2170@cs.com
Comment: The object of this 'black op' is to give millions of people the smallpox vaccine. That IS the bio-attack! The chemical and biological arsenal of President Bush — not that of President Hussein is the danger.
Will you be arrested then "quarantined" in the detention camps that have already been prepared all over Amerika for those who intend to resist encroaching Fascism in all of its evil, ugly manifestations? And just what is their purpose in wanting to have some Russian Smallpox strains?

800 American Professors Sign Document Warning of Coming Israeli Ethnic Cleansing
Chicago, December 18, 2002 – Earlier this year, 187 Israeli professors signed an "Urgent Warning" letter titled "The Israeli government may be contemplating crimes against humanity." Today, 800 American professors have signed a similar document, warning of coming Israeli ethnic cleansing.
Released on 29 September 2002, the original Israeli letter began by stating:
"We, members and friends of Israeli academe, are horrified by US buildup of aggression towards Iraq and by the Israeli political leadership's enthusiastic support for it. We are deeply worried by indications that the 'fog of war' could be exploited by the Israeli government to commit further crimes against the Palestinian people, up to full-fledged ethnic cleansing."
The letter continued on to note that the coalition ruling Israel included parties that promote ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population as a "final solution" to the conflict, the letter cited several examples of senior Israeli government and military officials using the language of ethnic cleansing, and called on the international community to "pay close attention to events that unfold within Israel and in the Occupied Territories."
The American letter, released on 18 December 2002, opens with expressions of full support for the Israeli letter. So far signed by 800 professors and intellectuals, the US letter concludes:
"We join with our Israeli colleagues in calling for vigilance as events unfold in Israel and the Occupied Territories. With an average of more than $10 million dollars per day of American tax dollars going to Israel, we believe Americans cannot remain silent while crimes as abhorrent as ethnic cleansing are being openly advocated.
We urge our government to communicate clearly to the government of Israel that the expulsion of people according to race, religion or nationality would constitute crimes against humanity and will not be tolerated."

Bush Admin. Propose System for Monitoring Internet
The Bush administration is planning to propose requiring Internet service providers to help build a centralized system to enable broad monitoring of the Internet and, potentially, surveillance of its users.
The proposal is part of a final version of a report, "The National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace," set for release early next year, according to several people who have been briefed on the report. It is a component of the effort to increase national security after the September 11 attacks.
The President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board is preparing the report, and it is intended to create public and private cooperation to regulate and defend the national computer networks, not only from everyday hazards like viruses but also from terrorist attack. Ultimately the report is intended to provide an Internet strategy for the new Department of Homeland Security. . . Full story: nytimes.com
The Overthrow of The American Republic
December 20, 2002 – When private business partners have a falling out, it seems to be like a divorce. . .
If you understand this, you comprehend how George Herbert Walker Bush and Saddam Hussein react to each other nowadays. Daddy Bush was actually important to the CIA since the formation of the Zaparta Petroleum Company, later called Zaparta Offshore. They had hundreds of overseas affiliates. Some contend the firm assisted foreign and domestic spy agencies as a cover operation for covert activities and sucking up intelligence data worldwide. Others assert Zapata's offshore drilling platforms, such as those in the sea beyond the US jurisdictional limits, are transit points for clandestine shipments, such as dope.
Was/is this a way of helicopters, servicing the oil drilling, picking up narcotics shipments and getting them into the US? Some think so. International wire service, Reuters, some years ago, studied the matter, and so alleged. . . So, Daddy Bush has been apparently for many years part of the dope trafficking. . .
In the 1980s, Daddy Bush was Saddam's private business partner. It was the subject of a little-mentioned Federal Court case in Chicago, where this free lance journalist, was the only reporter covering the court hearing. My exclusive story appeared in a populist weekly newspaper, The Spotlight, August 19, 1991. . .
Bush the Elder and Saddam Hussein, just like a mafia gang, shook down, extracting "protection money", from the weak oil sheikdoms of the Persian Gulf. Also, Bush's criminal business confederates in the 1980s, inside and outside the White House, supplied Saddam with the beginnings of nuclear and bio-chemical materials and research, for the possible development of so-called "Weapons of Mass Destruction". . .
Recently, the present Bush White House obtained the original of Saddam's response to the United Nations inspection team, a many thousand page document. Bush, in turn, supposedly had copies made of this and turned it over to other members of the UN Security Council. Some assert that the Bush White House eliminated or redacted some of the pages showing the role of the Bush Crime Family in supplying such items to Baghdad. "Annan [UN Secretary General] Criticizes Handling of Iraqi Files", New York Times, December 11, 2002.
(The United States edited out more than 8,000 crucial pages of Iraq's 11,800-page dossier on weapons, before passing on a sanitised version to the 10 non-permanent members of the United Nations security council. sundayherald.com).
The Persian Gulf conflict of 1990-1991, in its simplest form, was just, as we have shown, a falling out of disgruntled private business partners, Daddy Bush and Saddam Hussein. In 1991, Daddy Bush stole billions and billions of dollars of monies and assets belonging to Saddam, his former partner. These purloined funds were transferred to twenty five secret worldwide accounts of the Bush Crime Family. . . Full story: rense.com
US Govt., Corps. Illegally Helped Iraq Build Its WMD
Berlin (Financial Times) December 19, 2002 – Geneva-based reporter Andreas Zumach broke the story on the US national listener-sponsored radio and television show "Democracy Now!" . . . Zumach obtained top-secret portions of Iraq's 12,000-page weapons declaration that the US had redacted from the version made available to the non-permanent members of the UN Security Council.
"We have 24 major US companies listed in the report who gave very substantial support especially to the biological weapons program but also to the missile and nuclear weapons program," Zumach said. "Pretty much everything was illegal in the case of nuclear and biological weapons. Every form of cooperation and supplies were outlawed in the 1970s."
The list of US corporations listed in Iraq's report include Hewlett Packard, DuPont, Unisys, Honeywell, Rockwell, Tectronics, Bechtel, International Computer Systems, Sperry and TI Coating.
Zumach also said the US Departments of Energy, Defense, Commerce, and Agriculture quietly helped arm Iraq. US government nuclear weapons laboratories Sandia, Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos trained traveling Iraqi nuclear scientists and gave non-fissile material for construction of a nuclear bomb.

A Great Voice, like a Trumpet
Genesis 41:38-44, "And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find a better man for the task than Joseph who is so obviously filled with the Spirit of God? And to Joseph he said, Since God has revealed to you the meaning of my dreams, you're the wisest man in the land: I hereby appoint you over the project and have set you over all the land of Egypt. Your word shall rule my people: only in the throne will I be greater than you".
"Pharaoh placed his own signet ring on Joseph's hand, dressed him in beautiful clothes, and put a gold chain about his neck. He gave him the chariot of his second in command, and wherever Joseph went runners ran before, crying, Bow the knee: Joseph is coming. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without you shall have no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt".
Joseph was a perfect type of Jesus who Was also about thirty years of age when God anointed Him for His mission. Seven angels ran before His second or 'parousia' Coming: Paul, Irenaeus, St. Martin, St. Columba, Martin Luther, John Wesley and William Branham. Before Him "every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess to God" (Romans 14:11; Philippians 2:11). For "no man can come to the Father, but by the Son" (Luke 3:23; John 14:6).
"Christ is the firstfruits of the resurrection; to be followed by those who are Christ's at His 'parousia' Coming (which commenced with the opening of the Seven Seals in March, 1963). Then comes the consummation of time, when He shall deliver the kingdom to the Father, having put down all of His enemies . . . then shall the Son subject Himself to the Father so that God may be all in all" (I Corinthians 15:23-28).
Jesus is no second or third Person in a so-called Trinity but "the beginning of the creation of the Person God" manifest in a virgin-born Man (Revelation 3:14). The saints of the New Testament Church are the continuation of the same creation as Eve was the continuation of Adam, not another creation. And through eternity, the "saved" will worship God in the flesh of His glorified Family — Jesus Christ and His brothers and Sisters.
The Gospel Trumpets sounded by the seven portions of the Spirit as they anointed each of seven Church Age messengers throughout the Pentecostal feast or Gentile dispensation. "As precept must be upon precept, line upon line; here a little, and there a little." Their Messages brought grace and Life to God's elect, but two thousand years of judgment upon the Israelites who rejected the Atonement.
Israel's Seven Trumpet judgments manifest in the same sequence as our Seven Seals. Whereas the Seals disclose the Spiritual Warfare between Satan's mighty church and God's "little flock" during the Gentile dispensation, Israel's Trumpet mysteries signify natural or political strife that befalls them from Calvary to the consummation. The same plagues befall their enemy the "Jews," who impersonate them and partake of their sins. To them they are sent as a curse and not for correction.
The Seven Vials are God's judgment upon the Christ-rejecting Gentile church, to separate the foolish virgin from the false church. (See also The Sixth Vial, and The Seventh Vial).
The feast of Trumpets remind Israel of their covenant, and put God in mind of His promise to recover a remnant of Israel the second time after the Seven Trumpets have sounded two thousand years of judgment (Isaiah 11:11). This feast was one of the seven annual days of holy convocation (typed by our Church Ages) and prepared the people for the day of Atonement ten days later. Numbers 10:10, ". . . in your solemn days, . . . you shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings (a type of Christ), and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings (a type of the Lord's Supper); that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the Lord your God".
As the sound of the trumpet signaled Jehovah's descent on mount Sinai to take Israel in to covenant, so the same sound at the close of the day of Atonement, particularly in the Jubilee, announced the year which restored the nation to the freedom and full blessings of the covenant.
Israel's covenant is in effect only to Hebrews living in the Promised Land. Numbers 10:9, "If you go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses you, you shall blow an alarm with the trumpets and you will be remembered before the Lord your God, and be saved from your enemies". God will gather 144,000 elect Israelites for redemption by the revelation of the Trumpet mysteries through the two witnesses of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11:3-12 (Matthew 24:31). This will allow them to place the history of the past 2,000 years with the prophecies of the Old Testament.
Now remember, those in denominational walled cities — though they be within the circle of this Message — can not come out in the Pentecostal Jubilee for they have refused to understand the Gospel Trumpet and they will be cast into the tribulation (Exodus 21:1-6; Leviticus 25:29-30; Deuteronomy 15:12-17; Acts 3:23). They have been marked in the ear with an aul and will labor outside the new Jerusalem through all eternity and the kings of the earth will bring the tithe of their produce into the City (Revelation 21:24-27).
God sent Brother Branham, the prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 and Revelation 10:7 to restore we Gentiles to the apostolic faith, away from trinities and false baptisms in three Titles, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and to "finish the mystery of God" by revealing the Seven Seals which is the "shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16, calling the wise and foolish virgin out from Rome and her (once) Protestant daughters, into the unity of the faith (Matthew 25:6; Ephesians 4:13).
Sadly, most of those who have "come out of her" never entered "into Him" by a new birth through a clear revelation of the Message. These are all "saved," but will be martyred and purged during the tribulation by the very churches they came out of. Her denominational daughters also go into the Tribulation thence into a Lake of Fire, together with the beast church and its false prophet since it is these churches that will rule the New World Order during the tribulation, killing all who will not accept Trinitarianism, their mark of the beast, just as the Hebrew denominations killed all who would not accept their Talmudic sin after the close of their dispensation (Revelation 19:19-21).
Now is checking-up time. Time to examine our own selves. Are we are walking in the Light of the present Truth, with our lamps trimmed and clear? Or impersonating the Word for a day gone by? For the various classes of the "saved" along with Israel's 144,000 elect will all be martyred in the tribulation by the Beast or false church and it's (once) Protestant image.
As Israel's Passover and deliverance in the first Exodus followed the ten plagues that fell upon the Egyptians, their day of Atonement and deliverance follows the plagues of the Seven Trumpet judgments, and the three Woes. As in the days of Moses the plagues only fell upon the unbelievers and those outside the Land of Goshen, so during the Gentile dispensation the Trumpet plagues have fallen only upon unbelievers and those outside the Body of Christ.
Ezekiel 33:1-5, "God spoke to Ezekiel, saying, Son of man, tell your people, When I bring an army upon a country, and the people of that land choose a watchman, and when he sees the army coming, and blows the trumpet to warn them, then whoever hears the alarm and heeds not its warning; his blood shall be upon his own head. For he heard the warning and would not listen: the fault is his own. But he who takes warning shall deliver his soul".
I Corinthians 14:8, "But if the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who shall prepare for the battle?" And all denominational Messages givee "an uncertain sound" today because they are either man-made reasoning against the Word, or trumpeting the Word for a day gone by like the Anglicans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Pentecostals and so-on. Paraphrasing I John 1:7, "Unless our lives are manifesting the Light God is shining now, we are not and cannot come under the Blood (or be born-again)". We must walk in the Light for our day, not try to impersonate the glare of a day gone by: God is only writing epistles of the present Truth.
The Bride of each Age is the firstfruits of the Gospel Trumpet sounded for their day. Each saint paid heed to the Gospel Trumpet by the "angel" to his Age, lived Its Message, and received eternal Life. Those like the Israelites and their "Jewish" impersonators, who choose to ignore its warning, perish by the Sword of the Trumpet. "Obedience is better than sacrifice".
Whereas the bread grain that makes up the wave loaves of the Bride is not crushed, but tossed up into the air and separated by winds of doctrine, when we have been gathered into the heavenly garner, God will harvest the firstfruits of the vine and the olive both of which must be crushed during the tribulation under the Sixth Seal and Seventh Trumpet (Revelation 14:12-20; Matthew 21:28-46).
I Corinthians 15:20-23, "Now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by Man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at His ('parousia') Coming".
All who are Christ's will be "made alive" or quickened Spiritually at His 'parousia'. When the last of the end-time Bride recognize His Presence and is born-again, there will be a resurrection of the Gentile Bride of all Ages: then we will be changed in the atoms. Subsequently the 144,000 Israelites will be Spiritually quickened in a new birth by their revelation of His 'parousia' to them through the ministry of their two prophets.
(Don't imagine anyone will 'make it' today outside the Message of God's prophet. It was the Message of God's prophet that led Israel in their exodus out of Egypt. It was the Message of God's prophet that led the Church in their exodus out of Israel, and it is the Message of God's prophet that is leading Christ's Bride today in their exodus out of the apostate church (Amos 3:6-8; Matthew 25:6; Acts 3:19-23; I Thessalonians 4:16; II Thessalonians 2:1-3; Revelation 18:4).
James 1:18, "Of His own will begat He us with the Word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures" or example of what He created to be consecrated to Himself. His will is His Word, and His Word comes only through His vindicated prophets — Exodus 20:19; II Peter 1:20-21).
Revelation 14:3-4, "And the elect Israelites sung as it were a new song (or revelation) before the throne, and before the four beasts and the elders: and no man could see it but the hundred and forty and four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women (i.e. churches and their man-made dogma); for they are virgins (to the Word), following the Lamb wherever He goes. Redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb".
The Pentecostal feast was never celebrated until Israel had entered their natural rest in Canaan, God's provided place for them to live and worship. "When you have come into the land . . ." (Leviticus 23:10). It was celebrated on the fiftieth day following Passover, and was a holy convocation. There was no more harvesting of wheat firstfruits but the waving of the two leavened wave loaves made from the finished harvest.
The offering of two wave loaves in this holy convocation symbolizes the maturity and completion of Christ's end-time Bride who has been restored to the apostolic faith by the Message of God's Prophet, William Branham, and waved before Him in the manifestation of the Sons of God at the close of the wheat harvest (or Gentile dispensation) but prior to our translation.
Whereas throughout the Church Ages the Bible was sealed and Christ in the Office of Son of God was Mediator for His elect on account of their ignorance of these mysteries, since the revelation of the Seals He is in the Office of Son of Man and Judge. "The mystery of God is finished." We now have "the true sayings of God." With THUS SAITH THE LORD — the perfect interpretation of the Word, we no longer have need of a Mediator (Acts 3:21; I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 10:7; 19:9).
Israel could not celebrate the Pentecostal feast until all thirteen Tribes were in the Land, our Pentecostal Jubilee can not take place until the last member of the Bride has been baptized into Christ. And as it was two thousand years ago, the feast can not be celebrated until "the day of Pentecost is fully come" - the holy convocation of the fiftieth day — and Christ's Bride are "all with one accord in one place."
That Place is in Christ the Word, not your creed. The Bride of all Ages is uniting there in the unity of the faith by a clear understanding of the Seven Seals as we explained in the conclusion of Newsletter #255. So the angels of God (or Church Age saints) are here now in the sixth dimension. Their work on earth finished, they were resting beneath the golden altar of incense. But when Christ descended at the opening of the Seals, they came with Him as they are all vindicated, manifested Word (I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 10:1).
The Prophet said, "Three things have to happen before Jesus appears - a shout, a voice, a trumpet, . . He does all three of them when He's descending. . ." (William Branham, The Rapture, p. 27:130). And as the martyred Hebrews under the Fifth Seal will be conscious of the revelations of Israel's two prophets under the Sixth Seal (Revelation 6:9-11), our brethren in the sixth dimension are conscious of the revelations Christ's end-time Bride is receiving now under the Fourth and Seventh Seals. Together with us they are "coming into the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 1:9-23; 4:13).
Isaiah 27:10-13, "The walled cities shall be desolate (a type of the denominations in the day of the Lord), a habitation forsaken and deserted (Matthew 25:6) like the wilderness (Revelation 18:1-4). There shall the calf graze and lie down, and strip its branches and eat its twigs. When its boughs are withered and dry, they are broken off and burned by the women for cooking. For these are a people with no understanding (like the apostate Israelites): therefore He that made them will not have mercy on them, He Who formed them will show them no favor".
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord will gather Israel together one by one like handpicked grain, (not "Jews," but the elect "children of Israel" — blood-related through Isaac and Abraham — are to be gathered into the Land of their covenant when the Gentiles are apostate), selecting one here and one there from His great threshing floor that extends all the way from the Euphrates river to the Egyptian border." God only deals with Israel inside the Land of the Covenant where they will be persecuted by the "Jews" (once again) during the tribulation.
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Great Trumpet shall be blown, and they which were ready to perish among their enemies, in Assyria and Egypt, shall return and worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem". Notice, not a word about recovering non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled "Jews" from Russia, Hungary, Germany, Britain, or America, but Hebrews who are Israelites, and mainly from the lands of their former exile (Isaiah 11:11-16; 19:23-25).
This Great or Seventh Trumpet announces the end of Gentile days and Christ's 'parousia' Coming to Israel. All nations will recognize Israel is in the homeland and gather in battle against Jerusalem (Isaiah 18:1-3; Joel 3:1-2; Zechariah 14:2) and the Bride will go Home to meet her Bridegroom at the Wedding Supper in the air.
The feast of Trumpets will be two Hebrew prophets with the anointings that were upon Moses and Elijah revealing the mysteries of the Seven Trumpets and Christ's 'parousia' to Israel under their Seventh Trumpet.
At the close of the Hebrew dispensation when Jesus was about to die to bring the New Testament into effect, He said, "It is finished: then He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost" (John 19:30; Hebrews 9:16-17). The "burnt offering" was complete.
And at the close of the Gentile dispensation when the Seventh Vial of judgment is poured out by Brother Branham's Message to try the foolish virgin and punish the false church, a Voice from the throne in the heavenly sanctuary declares, "It is done," or "It is come to pass," — as when the Lord cried, "It is finished," or "It is accomplished." Then earth will give up the Holy Ghost which will depart in the catching away of the Bride following the manifestation of the Sons of God. Mercy will be over, and tribulation judgments will fall.
As it was on the day of Pentecost at mount Sinai, when Israel crossed from mercy to judgment, and again in Jerusalem two thousand years ago, our Pentecostal Jubilee will commence the Day of the Lord and the pouring-out of His wrath.
Under the Old Testament Law there was an annual cleansing of the sanctuary when the blood was taken off the mercy seat so that it became a judgment seat. And of course Moses patterned the Ark after the heavenly vision. We are now approaching a cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary when Satan will be cast out and judgments will come upon the earth.
As long as the Blood was present, God could not destroy the earth and there was an atonement for everyone in Adam's race. But those who fail to accept it cross the line between mercy and judgment, being judged of themselves. The Blood has not been on the mercy seat since the last saint predestinated to the Laodicean Church Age was baptized into Christ in March, 1963, and the twenty-four elders advertised for a Kinsman Redeemer to claim Adam's forfeited inheritance.
But Heaven is God's throne and earth is His footstool or judgment seat, and the Bride is the blood of Christ by the baptism of the Holy Ghost because the life is in the blood and we are the Life of Jesus Christ. Paul explained that so long as the Bride is here on earth, God is restrained from casting out Satan and pouring out His wrath.
II Thessalonians 2:7-9, "The iniquity that man of sin will work when he comes is already going on now: only he will not come himself until the Holy Spirit Who is restraining him is taken out of the way in the translation of Christ's end-time Bride. Only then will Satan be cast out to incarnate the pope of Rome, whom the Lord shall consume with the spoken Word, and destroy with the brightness of His 'parousia' Coming (to Israel): even Satan, whose 'parousia' coming (incarnate in that man of sin) is full of Satanic power, deceiving everyone with signs and lying wonders" (Revelation 12:7-13; 17).
The "peace offering" from the whole congregation, a type of the Lord's Supper or Communion, which signifies the unity of the Body with the Head as exemplified in the manifestation of the Sons of God who are under pre-eminence to the Word, is unique to Pentecost (Leviticus 23:19).
Revelation 16:17-19, "And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great Voice out of the heavenly temple from the throne of God, saying, 'It is done' (Isaiah 66:6). And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth — so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city (Jerusalem) was divided into three parts (Judaic, nominal Christian, and Islamic as typed by Ezekiel 5:2-5, 12 — Zechariah 13:8), and the cities of the Gentiles fell: and great Babylon (Rome) came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath".
The temple is the Holy of Holies in the heavenly sanctuary, and the throne is the golden covering over the Ark which is now a judgment seat. Gold represents deity and the Ark typed Jesus Christ in the fleshly tables of Whose heart repose the fullness of God's Word as once it was written in tables of stone within the Ark of the first covenant. Christ is about to enact the trial of jealousy to separate the foolish virgin from the false church by making Rome and her daughters drink the Seventh Vial of God's wrath.
Throughout the Book of Revelation John represents Christ's end-time Bride. Only we can hear this authoritative or "great Voice" (Gk. 'megas') because we are caught up into the Spirit in the Lord's day and schooled in the revelation of the end-time Message God confirms to us as we recognize the prophetic signs of the time like the impending "great earthquake" that will sink Los Angeles and 1,300x3-400 miles of California, cleave the mount of Olives, and destroy es Sakhra, the Dome of the Rock, thereby dividing Jerusalem between three evil constituencies.
As Moses stood at the foot of mount Sinai with the people and interpreted the Voices of thunder which echoed in the conscience of all Israel as if Jehovah were directly talking with them (Exodus 19:16; Deuteronomy 5:5), Brother Branham stood with the people and interpreted the Voices of the Seven Thunders that blasted out upon Mount Sunset, and were revealed to him by God each day in "the little room" in Brother Wood's home where he studied while delivering the Seven Seals (Revelation 10:1-7).
Revelation 1:10, "John (who represented Christ's end-time Bride) was in the Spirit on the Lord's day. (In the flesh he was on the Isle of Patmos as we are on earth in the time of Christ's 'parousia,' in man's day). And he heard behind him (back in man's day where the revelation comes to us) a great Voice, as of a trumpet".
Revelation 10:1-3, "And John (the end-time Bride who is in the Spirit in the Lord's day) saw another mighty Angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon His head, and His face was like the sun, and His feet as pillars of fire . . . and He cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars: and when He had cried, Seven Thunders uttered their voices".
Revelation 12:10, "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night". This is the revelation Ezekiel records. In Ezekiel 39:8 God says, "It is done ," or the salvation of Israel and the ruin of their enemy is at hand. For the end is decided and the day of the Lord has begun.
This "great Voice" pronounced the doom of the Roman Catholic empire Revelation 18:2, "John saw another Angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with His glory. And He cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird". Brother Branham pronounced this indictment on earth. Likewise in Revelation 19:17, "I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud Voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God".
This "great Voice" is the Absolute announcing the day of the Lord with tribulation judgments for the Gentile day of grace is " done":-
Revelation 8:5, "And the angel took the censer, and filled it with Fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake".
Revelation 11:15,19, "The Seventh Trumpet angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever. . . And the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the Ark of His testament (Jesus Christ) could be seen inside: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail".
Revelation 16:17-18, "The angel to the Seventh Church Age, William Branham, poured out his Vial into the air; and there came a great Voice from the throne of the temple in heaven, saying, It is done. And such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great".
Revelation 19:6, "And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns".
Refuse not the Gospel Trumpet today "Do not harden your heart against God's Word as Israel did when they rebelled in the desert after Moses delivered them from Egypt in the first exodus. With whom God was grieved all those forty years. To whom He swore that they should not enter into His rest because they believed not".
It is almost forty years since God revealed the Seven Seals by which Brother Branham delivered us out from the "great harlot," her (once) Protestant daughters, and their sins in the third exodus. So harden not your hearts against the revelation of his Message as have most who have followed the prophet out of Babylon without entering in to Christ's rest. Soon a great Voice like a Trumpet will cry, "It is done", and there will be "voices, and thunders, and lightnings" in the heavens and "a great quake" here on earth as the day of the Lord commences. And these camp followers who have wandered about in a Pentecostal wilderness will perish. nl256.htm
