ISSN 1442-8660Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; we extend an especial welcome to our new subscribers.
The great United States has fallen, has fallen, and is beholden to China, Russia, Japan and oil-rich Arab creditors. She has imploded as planned by the City of London and her CFR hand-picked alien Administration. She has to be brought low—limbo lower now—how low must she go before she is subservient to Lucifer's totalitarian one world government she sought to usurp until 'the hidden hand' turned hubris to humility?
The 'hidden hand' will let her stew whilst plundering her economy which has much further to fall. There will be little relief before Los Angeles and a 1,500x300-400 mile portion of earth sinks beneath the Pacific; before Russia has attacked and occupied mainland USA; before the Mount of Olives cleaves in twain demolishing the Dome of the Rock and igniting a brief World War III. Only when the US dollar has failed, the world economy touched bottom, the Gentile dispensation ended, and the Lord returned to Israel, will help arrive, at a bloody price.
The cruelty of sin, and the penalty it cost to rid sin from our lives. But O, the penalty for rejecting that grace.
At the end of the dispensation of the Law, Peter smote the high priest's servant, severing his right ear. But when the time came for him to stand on the Word he was unable to summon the courage, and denied his Lord. Brother Branham said, "He could cut the high priest's ear off with his sword, sure, he knowed how to handle it. But when it come to the 'squeeze' and time to stand on the Word of God, he didn't have the courage, and even denied he knowed Jesus".
"That's where it is today. We got courage to build buildings and put millions of dollars in them. We got courage to put pipe organs, and plush seats, and everything, and go out and proselyte from place to place, and make the Methodists come Baptists, and so forth, back and forth like that. But when it comes to Christian courage to accept the Word and the Message of God, and stand there on it, we are few" (End Time Evangelism, p. 33:195-196).
Are you one with the Word, because God will allow Satan to strip you of every support that hinders your reliance upon Him: friends, family, livelihood . . . whatever stands between you and His Word? The 'squeeze' is coming; the Token must be on display. Already the United States has fallen without firing a shot or spilling one drop of blood. It has happened and no one knows anything about it. "But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief".
The Prophet said, "The third pull has now been vindicated, and I'm sure you all know what it is. Now, remember, there'll never be any impersonation of that, 'cause it can't be. . . it will not be used in a great way, until this council begins to tighten up. . . but when that time comes, when the squeeze comes down, then you'll see what you have seen temporarily, be manifested in the fullness of its power. . . This will be a thing that will start the rapturing faith for the going away. . . There is coming a time in this nation, to where this nation is going to exercise all the power that the beast had before it, which was pagan Rome when it become Papal Rome, see, this nation will do that" (Look Away to Jesus, p. 5:38-45).
You see, America has one asset—her blooded military will force obeisance to the beast (Revelation 13:11-18).

China's Path to World Power
November 1, 2008 — For decades, before a heedless congregation, some of us have preached the old Hamiltonian gospel.
Great nations do not have trade partners. They have trade competitors and rivals. Trade surpluses are superior to trade deficits. Tariffs on foreign goods are preferable to taxes on US producers. Manufacturing, not finance, is the muscle of the nation.
Economic independence is vital to political independence.
Following Hamiltonian precepts, the United States grew from 13 rural and agricultural colonies into the greatest industrial power in all history, producing 42 percent of the world's manufactured goods. We were the awe and envy of mankind, the self-sufficient republic, maker of half of the armaments produced by all the nations in World War II.
That is the America we grew up in—that has now vanished.
Chrysler, Ford, perhaps GM, may be dying. Manufacturing has sunk to 10 percent of US employment, a level unseen since before the Civil War. Europeans and Asians are to assemble in Washington this week to impose upon the United States a New World Economic Order like the one we imposed on them at Bretton Woods in 1944.
Such are the fruits of free-trade ideology.
Across the Pacific, a nation that studied how America rose, and watched as America declined, chose a different path. China adopted and pursued a China First policy of economic nationalism.
In July, Charles McMillion of MBG Services testified to the U.S-China Economic and Security Review Commission on China's progress.
Beijing began its astonishing rise by devaluing its currency 45 percent in 1994, slashing the prices of exports in half and making imports twice as expensive. As America threw open her market and invited China to come in and capture it, China had erected a Great Wall around her own.
Results: China's worldwide trade surplus in manufactures, $31 billion in 2001, hit $401 billion in 2007, a 1,300 percent increase, and may reach $500 billion in 2008. China has shoved Germany aside to become the world's greatest exporter and now leads the world in the export of manufactured goods to Japan and the European Union, as well as the United States.
While running trade deficits with Asian neighbors like Taiwan, to tie them politically to Beijing, China is running record trade surpluses with the European Union and the United States, making America and the West as dependent upon China for our manufactures as we are on OPEC for our oil.
Chinese auto production has quintupled since 2001. She now produces more cars than Germany and may exceed the United States in 2009. While Chinese auto exports are still heavily in parts, finished cars are coming soon to a dealer near you. The Chinese will likely run the sword through the last standing member of America's Big Three.
Before 2004, China's manufacturing trade surplus with America was largely in textiles and apparel. But, since then, China's rocketing trade surplus in electronics, computers and parts has far exceeded her surplus in textiles and apparel.
China's trade surplus in computers and components rose from $8.1 billion in 2001 to $73.5 billion in 2007. In cellular phones and parts, her worldwide trade surplus grew from $3 billion in 2003 to $50 billion in 2007, and may reach $60 billion by year's end.
China still imports commercial airliners. But she now has a large and growing trade surplus in airplane parts. This follows the pattern in textiles, computers and autos. First, the Chinese learn by assembling parts in factories in China. Then, China begins to produce the parts. Then, China produces the finished products and goes out to capture the world market, while protecting her own by keeping her currency cheap.
On items the Commerce Department categorizes as advanced technology products, America began running a trade deficit for the first time early in the George W. Bush years. China now exports to us four times as much, in dollar value, in ATP items as we sell to Beijing.
As America mothballs the shuttle, relying on Russian rockets to get our astronauts back up to a space station we built, China is putting men into space and heading for the moon.
Since America ushered China into the World Trade Organization in 2002, Beijing's growth rate has been four times that of the United States, accelerating from an average 10 percent of gross domestic product to 12 percent in 2007.
With her immense trade surpluses, China's reserves have surged from $200 billion in 2002 to $2 trillion. Awash in dollars, Beijing now waits patiently, writes McMillion, to cherry-pick the crown jewels of America's industrial empire—"patents, talents, natural resources, brands"—at fire-sale prices in the global crash.
As America plunges into recession and our industry hollows out, while China is still growing at 9 percent, as the 20th century's greatest creditor nation now borrows from Beijing to pay for booster shots for its sick economy, may we hear once again the Bush-Clinton refrain about how the terrible danger we all face is from "protectionism."

Comment: Financier Maurice Strong, Secretary General of the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development, laid out the real intent behind the financial oligarchy's crusade on global warming in his rhetorical question: "Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialised civilisations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?"
"The way of the kings of the East is prepared" giving cause for a revived Holy Roman Empire to refinance the US dollar in order to defend "her" world from Judaeo-Communism. Meanwhile it would appear that the US may be seeking to monetise foreclosed assets under Sharia compliant finance.
CDC Chief states Flu Pandemic IS Coming
September 5, 2008 — Ready or not, a flu pandemic is coming, says Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. . .
She said politicians are not talking about a flu pandemic or the bird flu virus, which may or may not be the virus that causes the next pandemic. 'No one is talking about it, and it's not on their radar screen,' Gerberding said. She said CDC officials are closely monitoring the bird flu virus, which has a death rate of 63 percent among the 385 cases reported worldwide since 2003. . .
She said CDC scientists have created a potential vaccine in case the virus develops into a pandemic strain and are conducting more research to develop a vaccine. They have recreated the virus that caused the 1918 flu pandemic to better understand it. Full story: lacrossetribune.com
Comment: There are more "alien abductions" than deaths from bird flu, and my bunny slippers have a higher kill rate. It looks suspiciously certain the 1918 man-made flu virus, which caused millions of deaths through vaccination has been recreated because of its deadly efficiency.
"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, by want, so that the "goyim" see no other issue than to take refuge in our complete sovereignty in money and in all else. Protocol 10:19

Jews impose Thought Control on Australia
Australia will now join China in blocking free access to the internet. Responding to decades of pressure from the Anti-Defamation League, the Australian government has announced it will ban all "illegal" internet content produced in or entering Australia. Under ADL-orchestrated Australian hate laws, it has already been unlawful to hold up homosexuals, Jews and Muslims to "humiliation or intimidation" in the public forum, including the internet. Incoming material on the internet, however, has remained largely unregulated.
The government, projecting a comprehensive internet filter, originally assured internet users that they could legally receive banned content by contacting their providers and circumventing such restrictions. Now the government says they can't. All illegal content, which should include everything from pornography to political and religious speech violating Australia's hate laws, will be forbidden. It will be illegal to create or receive communication which the government disapproves.
Actually, according to Colin Jacobs of Electronic Frontiers Australia, the National Internet Filter would have little effect on such illegal internet content as child pornography since it would not cover file-sharing networks. We may conclude that politically incorrect speech would probably bear the brunt of censorship. . . Full story: truthtellers.org itnews.com.au
The Indictment
An indictment is an authoritative public announcement of a legal decree or accusation. However, before there can be a prima facie case for a trial there must first be evidence of a crime.
On the day of Pentecost after the inauguration of the Church the saints came from the upper room and began testifying to a growing crowd of Israelites and proselytes from throughout the Roman Empire. Although they spoke Galilean, every man heard them in his own tongue. Their wonderment was speedily answered by Jewish mockers who accused the saints of being drunkards, whereupon Peter addressed the multitude, "These are not drunk as you suppose, seeing it is but 9.00 a.m., but this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel."
Continuing his oration, Peter preached the vindication of Jesus Messiah according to the Psalms and the prophets; then he proceeded to indict the unbelievers. Acts 2:36-37, "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
"Now when they heard this, those with integrity were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what must we do [to be saved, we have killed Messiah]"?
Paul indicted the Judeans: Acts 13:45-47, "Who were filled with jealousy when they saw the multitudes and contradicted what Paul had said, and blasphemed. Then Paul and Barnabas fearlessly declared, It was necessary that the Word of God should be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal Life, we will offer it to the Gentiles. For so the Lord has commanded us, I have set you to be a Light of the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth".
In Matthew 23:33-36 and elsewhere, Jesus Christ indicted the Jews as Serpent's Seed, and liars. And in Daniel 7 and Revelation 3; 13; 17 and 18, Brother Branham indicted the Roman Catholic and (once) Protestant Churches as well as the United States of America.
Hebrews 11:1-3, "Now faith (which is a clear understanding of the revealed Word of God) is the assurance or title deed of the things we hoped for, being the proof of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality—perceiving as real fact that which is not revealed to our ten mortal senses. For by faith, and trust and holy fervour born of faith, the men of old had divine testimony borne to them and obtained a good report. By faith we apprehend intellectually that the universe and successive ages were fashioned, put in order and equipped for their intended purpose by the spoken Word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible".
Whereas our sensible perceptions would lead us to regard all that we see as having no deeper origin than the things which are palpable to sense—material and sensuous-springing out of uncreated material as the evolutionists suppose; but faith enables us to trace all creation, both visible and invisible, to Attributes of the unseen mind of God, which is eternal Spirit, authoritatively expressed as Word that manifests what was spoken in its designated and decreed season and time to fulfill His sovereign design.
God's will is His Word and man must live by every one. In the first two chapters of Hebrews Paul expressly states that the unbroken periods of time or successive ages which have fashioned and ordered the phenomenal world owe their origin to the Son of God that is the Logos or expression of the fullness of God who was born of a virgin in due season. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the full and final revelation of God elevated above all (Ephesians 1:20-23) "anointed with the oil of gladness more than His fellows"—the angels or theophanies of His elect in their glorified form. Brother Branham met and spoke with many of the Laodicean saints in theophany when He was translated beyond the curtain of time.
Hebrews 1:2-4, 10, "God of old spoke to our fathers at various times and in many ways in the prophets, but in these last days He has spoken to us in His Son, whom He has appointed Heir of all things and through whom He made the worlds. As the reflection of God's glory and the true expression of His Being He sustains the universe by His almighty Word. When He had effected our cleansing from sin, He took His seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high and became as much superior to the angels as the Name He inherited was superior to theirs. . . God also called Him "Lord" when He said, Lord, in the beginning You made the Earth and the heavens are the work of Your hands".
When were God's elect cleansed from sin (I John 3:9)? When was the Lord wounded for our transgressions (Revelation 13:8)? When did the chastisement that procured our peace fall upon Him, and when were we healed by His stripes (Isaiah 53:5)? This took place in God's eternal thoughts before there was a universe, and manifest on Earth nearly 2,000 years ago. If you can see this revelation and align yourself with the mind of God, claim your victory over sin and sickness, the world, death and Satan! The reality is, you are free with Christ (John 8:36; Romans 8:1, 28-39)! God has already raised you up in Christ Jesus and seated you with Him in heavenly places—that is, in your part in the Body by your position in the Word (Ephesians 2:6).
This revelation is the Voice of Christ, the Archangel, whispering His secrets to your heart by placing Brother Branham's Message in God's Word from Genesis to Revelation so that your faith rests in Messiah by the "Spirit" shining Light on the "letter." This is God imparting the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him to put invincible strength in you to overcome the Devil and even the natural laws of physics by the greater Law of faith in the soon-coming manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation.
When a thought is expressed it becomes a word. Since God is the eternal and omniscient Spirit, His thoughts are real and eternal Attributes of Himself (Proverbs 23:7); they express what He is, and will come to pass in their designated and decreed season and time. If we had eyes of Supernatural seeing and happened to be peering over the banister of heaven when the Logos was expressed, we would have seen a white Light called the Shekinah or visible Presence of God: "the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord" (Ezekiel 1:28; I John 1:5).
A life lived by the Word is the Word expressed. If the present Truth is living through you, you are the Word expressed, an Attribute of God eternal with God. As a godly wife is the glory of her husband, you are the glory of Christ beaming the Light of His glory in a dark world; and as you are one with God the Word you cannot fail (I Corinthians 11:7; John 17:21-26). For He said, "The Word of My mouth will not return void, but will accomplish My purpose and prosper wherever I sent it" (Isaiah 55:11). And, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my Helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me" (Deuteronomy 31:6; Joshua 1:5; Hebrews 13:5-6).
Logos is a Greek word meaning "thought in speech." Since God is omniscient, He is not now learning, nor is He taking counsel even with Himself, nor is He at any time adding to His knowledge. He has never had a new thought about anything because all His thoughts He has always had and always will have, and He knows the end from the beginning because He is God. His thoughts were complete when the Word or Logos was expressed and time or creation began.
The Logos is the beginning of God creating Himself a part of creation. In the fullness of time it condescended to human flesh born of Mary by the Word of faith without human male instrumentality in order that He qualify as the sinless kinsman Redeemer for Adam's fallen race. Out of the Logos, God spoke His creation, the universe and all it contains.
In Colossians 1:15-19 Paul teaches the Logos "is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For through Him all things were created in heaven and on Earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities—they are all created through Him and for Him: and He is Himself before all, and in Him all things hold together. He is also the head of the Body, the Church: He is its beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that in every respect He might be preeminent. For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell".
What a wonderful revelation of the true oneness of the godhead, and us in Him. Jesus said, "I pray not for the world, but for those You have given Me; for they are Yours . . . and I am glorified in them . . . May they be one; as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that You have sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one" (John 17:9-19, 21-22). This perfect harmony between the Father and the Son is to be replicated in His Bride since we are all Attributes and one in the Word by the agreement of faith.
We see clearly how all things, visible and invisible were conceived in eternity and manifested in their season with the objective of revealing the glory of God. By grace through faith and their own choosing those He foreknew are putting on His character and expressing His nature. So the Bible is the story of God unfolding Himself or changing His form from the eternal Spirit alone with His thoughts to the flesh of His glorified family, in which form He will be worshipped by the "saved" throughout eternity.
All things were created to serve His purpose. They are His thoughts manifest as planets, trees, rivers, animals and people, and so long as they maintain their place in the Word they will glorify Him. The whole of creation is held together by the Word and eternal, but when Satan beguiled Eve by one Word the whole of creation crossed from immortality into time and death. When the Word was broken, the world and the whole universe began falling apart.
Jesus did not even pray for the world or the world order, and He could not pray for all of its inhabitants because the majority are in Cain's lineage, hybrid, never in God's creative thoughts, and unredeemable. He prayed for God's elect, the true Church in this New Testament dispensation, devoting almost 2,000 years to calling and grooming a Bride to maturity in the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation to gather glory to Himself in the many-membered Body of His end-time Bride. We will have the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, speaking only what we hear as THUS SAITH THE LORD from the Father, and doing only what He inspires us to do.
God ordained and placed a fivefold ministry in the Church to equip the saints for the task of building up the Body of Christ, being perfected now in the holy convocation of this closing age through the commission of Revelation 10:8-11 that obliges each of us to call for that last lively stone. "The work of the fivefold ministry will proceed until we all come into oneness with the Word through the unity of the common faith, and of that knowledge of the Son of God that brings us to maturity, toward the stature of the fullness of Christ: that we may no longer be babes, swung back and forth and carried here and there with every wind of doctrine that springs from human craftiness and ingenuity for devising error; but speaking the Truth in love, we should grow up in every way toward Him who is the Head, into Christ, from whom the whole Body is fitted together and united by every contributing ligament, with proportionate power for each single part to effect the development of the Body for the edification of itself in love" (Ephesians 4:11-16).
Before God could renew heavens and earth so His Word can "hold it together" throughout eternity, the Word must itself be demonstrated before all creation to have overcome the Adversary, fulfilling His own laws in righteousness whereby He may extend justification by grace through faith to redeem believers born under condemnation through Adam's transgression. For when Adam took sinful Eve back to himself he surrendered his dominion of Earth and our inheritance in Life to Satan and contracted sin's penalty upon the whole creation. Thus the Logos, which is the beginning of God creating Himself a part of creation (Revelation 3:14) manifest in the image of fallen man born of woman, "thus of few days and full of trouble" (Job 14:1), to taste and overcome death for every man. The sinless fullness of the Word incarnate was sent to overcome the Adversary by obedience to the Spirit through faith in the promise when confronted with the same temptations and trials as Adam and you and me.
This last Adam is the mystery of God revealed to men (I John 1:1-2; Colossians 2:9). Broken, dead and buried, then raised to glorification by faith in the promise, having emptied the fullness of Himself into His Bride through revelations of like precious faith, He sits at God's right hand waiting for us to overcome death and receive new bodies like His own glorious body by the exercise of His faith. When the last member of His end-time Bride recognizes Her day and its Message the Body of His Word Bride will be perfectly up built and "fitted together" in love, reproducing Christ the Caagsone and Head in many-members. Then we will be proven openly to have overcome the Adversary by the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God to change in the atoms, "and so shall we ever be with the Lord".
Romans 8:17-22, "If we are God's children then we are His heirs together with Christ, provided we suffer together so that we may also be glorified together with Him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed in us. For the creation eagerly awaits the manifestation of the sons of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not from choice but through Him who subjected it in hope, and because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of God's children. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning and suffering agony until now".
The whole creation is a manifestation of the Creator and dependent upon Him for sustenance. Sin, which is unbelief in the revealed Word of God, interrupted the continuity of the Word and introduced death and destruction upon all. Satan has taught the children of disobedience there is no Creator, that having evolved from uncreated primal ooze we are all made out of ticky-tacky and we all look just the same. So the unthinking unbelievers imagine the universe is "held together" with ticky-tacky and not the Word of God. Ignoring these for whom Jesus would not pray (John 17:9; I John 5:16), widespread belief in evolution together with miscegenation, now called "multiculturalism," has multiplied unbelief in God's Word within nominal Christendom, and the world is falling apart.
Apostasy and miscegenation caused the world to fall apart in the days of Noah by dislocating His Word both spiritually and naturally (Genesis 6:1-13). Earth moved on its axis away from the Sun, causing her mantle to fracture, releasing the subterranean waters, and the firmament to freeze, precipitating rain and immense hail.
When the children of Israel committed the unforgivable sin by rejecting God's promise at Kadesh Barnea their world fell apart and God placed the nation under the Law of sin and Death. "And the mountain flamed with Fire into the very heart of the heavens, which were shrouded in darkness with thick black clouds" (Deuteronomy 4:7-14).
The world fell apart when Israel crucified the Lord of glory, whose "sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood" as He prayed in Gethsemane, and when He died, "the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth quaked and the rocks split" (Luke 22:44; Matthew 27:51).
The world is falling apart in this day since the world church system rejected Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming. In the words of II Timothy 3 and 4, God commanded Brother Branham to "Endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, making full proof of your ministry until the time comes when men turn away from listening to the truth, and turn to listening to fables." Paul prophesied false anointed ministers would resist the truth, having corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. He said, "People will be lovers of self, avaricious, boasters, haughty, abusive, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, irreverent, without natural affection, trucebreakers, slanderers, incontinent, brutal, despisers of those that are good, traitors, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but strangers to its power: from such turn away".
As Euripides (484BC – 406BC) said, "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad".
As God never changes Paul cautioned we Gentiles to remember what took place when Israel rejected His grace and came under judgment of the Law. Hebrews 12:25-29, "See that you do not refuse the One who is speaking; for if the Israelites did not escape when they refused to hear he who spoke for God on Earth, much less shall we escape if we reject the One who speaks from heaven. His Voice then shook the Earth, but He has promised, Once more I will shake not only the Earth, but heaven as well. This phrase, Once more, indicates the final removal of everything shaken—things that are made [with human hands and impermanent like Israel's Law], that the unshaken things [like eternal things such as faith] may remain [like the new heavens and new Earth]."
"Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and so let us serve God acceptably with reverence and awe. For our God is a consuming Fire".
Paul was looking to the falling apart and consummation of this present world with Fire that cleanses both heavens and Earth following Israel's return to grace as foretold in Malachi 4:1-3 and II Peter 3:1-13. God can only withhold utter destruction until the Holy Spirit leaves Earth in the translation of Christ's Bride; the apostasy or "falling away" will enable the revelation of "that man of sin, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts Himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped" (II Thessalonians 2). Then grace and mercy inherent in God's Word will be supplanted by His justice.
We live in a turbulent world wherein what for millennia has been right and good, just and true, has been overturned and replaced by its antithesis or whatever seems expedient for the situation of the moment. Man has replaced the Rock of God's unchanging word with the quicksand of human reasoning. Truth is no longer a defense but might and argument of law take precedence.
Having rejected the glue of God's Absolute, society is falling apart; commonsense is following good manners and morality to extinction; civilization is fast returning to the dog eat dog, survival of the fittest law of the jungle. Homosexuality is rife "as it was in the days of Lot," and every nation is overrun with inassimilable people of strange tongues, abhorrent cultures and incompatible religious fanaticism. Business and economics are no longer geared to produce goods and services or to prosper their community, but to cannibalise corporate futures and sacrifice employees for the love of money. Our political leaders are educated morons—treacherous lawyers serving the predatory 'City of London' and its factions aiming for world hegemony with no concern for "we the people".
God treats each person as an individual. His elect pay for their mistakes in this life, while sinners will face the Judgment and either acquitted and granted in to eternal Life, or cast into the Lake of Fire. Social, cultural, religious and political groups such as nations, which have no place on the Book of Life, are blessed with good peace, health, happiness, fertility, good harvests, success, prosperity, victory, etc., or smitten with famine, drought, plagues of insects, sickness, infertility, psychological and economic depression, theft, war, defeat, floods, hurricanes, fire and earthquakes (Deuteronomy 28; Psalm 9:17; 33:11-15, 18-19; Proverbs 14:34). Individuals and nations are blessed or cursed according to their relationship with God's Word, and nature is a manifestation of His Word. Individuals and groups that respect and work with nature will prosper; while nature will chastise and hold dominion over those that abuse or work against it.
The curse for disobedience has descended upon all Christendom. Brother Branham has brought God's indictment upon the world church system for crucifying unto themselves the Son of God afresh by refusing to receive Him at His second or 'parousia' Coming as Israel refused and crucified Him at His first or 'erchomai' Coming (Romans 11:32; Revelation 3:20; 18:4). Since 1963 the Lord God has been calling to both the wise and foolish virgin, "Come out from Babylon and her (once) Protestant daughter churches and be filled with the Spirit."
It is not the Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or ordinary sinner that is crucifying the Son of God afresh, but the churches of this day who find fault with the Word that worked through the man William Branham as Israel made fault with the Man who was the Word. As Israel chose a convicted murderer in preference to Christ the Word, the churches have chosen blasphemous creeds in preference to the Word. Yet for both Brother Branham and Jesus the Scriptures were thoroughly vindicated.
Pontius Pilate recognized the Jews had brought false accusations against Jesus and asked the rhetorical question, "What is truth?" As in the courts today, truth was no defense against false accusations brought by the Jews. Jesus said, "Sanctify them through Your Truth: Your Word is Truth." But people do not know what God's truth is. The Jews presume to be Israelites and Israelites believe they are Jews, while so-called Christians who do not study to show themselves approved of God believe Jews are the children of Israel and that Jesus was a Jew, and the mainstream believes Roman Catholicism is Christianity. To presume in such vital matters as to assume God is a trinity or that baptism is in three Titles, is to endanger your place on the Book of Life . . . if ever it was present (Deuteronomy 18:20).
By holding to tradition men crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh as there is no sanctifying power in Word-denying creeds. I Thessalonians 2:10-12, "Because they have not received the love of the Truth [Thy Word is Truth], God will send a strong delusion upon them to believe what is false, so that all may be damned who have not believed the truth but taken pleasure in the unrighteousness of man-made creeds".
It would have been unjust of God to bring the world to judgment when the Book was sealed, so Christ interceded for the ignorance of His elect until "the mystery of God was finished" in 1963 through the revelation of the Seven Seals. Since we now have the fullness of the Word we are without excuse. Jesus is no longer Mediator, He is the Judge of all creation, yet still sending grace with warning and a way of escape before He "smites the Earth with a curse" (Malachi 4:6).
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). The Babylonian mystery religion became Talmudism or Judaism it caused Israel's world to fall apart and they were indicted for the first crucifixion (Isaiah 8:20; Matthew 15:9). At the First Nicaea Council in AD325 the Babylonian mystery religion and the Roman state united with apostate Christianity to form the Roman Catholic church which Christ indicted in Revelation 2:12-29. Between AD500 and AD1000 so-called Jews wrote the Masoretic text of the Old Testament used in our English Bibles which appears to have been purposely corrupted as an attack upon Christian faith; denominational creeds and traditions added to this burden caused the world of Christian understanding to fall apart, and in these last days God has indicted and called His people out from Rome and her (once) Protestant daughter churches "into the unity of the faith" (Ephesians 4:13).
Before the Word manifested as our fallen heavens and Earth can become the renewed heavens and Earth "unshaken" through eternity, our hearts must be restored to "the faith which was once delivered to the [apostolic] saints" (Jude 1:3). To this end God sent William Branham, the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6, Matthew 17:11 and Revelation 10:7 to we Christians. Soon He will send Israel two Hebrew prophets anointed in the Spirit and with the power of Moses and Elijah (Zechariah 4; Revelation 11) who will "restore the fullness of the Word spoken by the mouth of all God's holy prophets since the world began . . . and every soul who will not receive this reintroduction of Jesus Messiah will be destroyed from among the people" (Acts 3:19-23). nl553.htm
