Belarus strikes Head of US Color Revolution Snake
November 25, 2011 — Freedom House, premier peddlers of the entirely disingenuous Western "human rights" crusade, has made a passionate plea for the release of Ales Bialiatski, a "prominent Belarusian human rights defender and head of the Human Rights Center 'Viasna' (Spring), who has been sentenced to over four years in a Belarus prison. What Freedom House doesn't tell you is that Bialiatski is actually the vice president of the US National Endowment for Democracy and George Soros Open Society-funded International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH)—making him anything but a "human rights defender" and instead a coordinator of US-backed destabilization efforts that have been ongoing in the Eastern European nation for years. Bialiatski's US-funded FIDH has also been recently exposed as behind the entire Tunisian uprising in January 2011. . .

FBI Claims it has no Documents on Occupy Wall Street
November 22, 2011 — Truthout filed a FOIA request with the FBI on October 31, seeking a wide range of documents, including "emails, memos, audio/video, transcripts, reports, threat assessments," in which Occupy Wall Street was discussed internally by agency officers and/or senior officials and/or any correspondence the agency had about the protest movement with local law enforcement and/or with local government officials. . .
We were surprised the FBI provided us with a final response to our FOIA request within two weeks, given the agency's FOIA backlog and the lengthy wait times we have faced in response to other requests we have filed. We were even more surprised to learn the FBI was unable to locate a single document in which officers and officials discussed Occupy Wall Street, a global movement which, in the past month, has resulted in violent crackdowns by local law enforcement in more than a dozen cities. . .

Propaganda used ahead of Iraq War being reused over Iran's Nuke Program
November 21, 2011 — While the US, Britain and Canada are planning to announce a coordinated set of sanctions against Iran's oil and petrochemical industry today, investigative journalist Seymour Hersh questions the growing consensus on Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program. International pressure has been mounting on Iran since the UN International Atomic Energy Agency revealed in a report the "possible military dimensions" to Iran's nuclear activities, citing "credible" evidence that "indicates that Iran has carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device." In his latest article for The New Yorker blog, titled "Iran and the IAEA," Hersh argues the recent report is a "political document," not a scientific study. "They [JSOC] found nothing. Nothing. No evidence of any weaponization," Hersh says. "In other words, no evidence of a facility to build the bomb. They have facilities to enrich, but not separate facilities to build the bomb. This is simply a fact" . . . Full story: democracynow.org

Free Syria Army: Placard–Waving Protesters are Gun–Wielding Terrorists
November 20, 2011 — The "Free Syria Army" is literally an army of militant extremists, many drawn not from Syria's military ranks, but from the Muslim Brotherhood, carrying heavy weapons back and forth over the Turkish and Lebanese borders, funded, supported, and armed by the United States, Israel, and Turkey. The latest evidence confirming this comes in the form of a report out of the International Institute for Strategic Studies which clearly states that Syria's opposition is armed and prepared to drag Syria into more violence.
This report comes in sharp contrast to the propaganda fed via the corporate-media and the West's foreign ministers on a daily basis, where the violence is portrayed as one-sided, with Syria's President Bashar al-Assad "gunning down" throngs of peaceful, placard waving protesters. Just as in Libya where these so-called "peaceful protesters" turned out to be hordes of genocidal racist Al Qaeda mercenaries, led by big-oil representatives, fighting their cause upon a verified pack of lies, so too is Syria's "pro-democracy" movement which is slowly being revealed as yet another militant brand of extremists long cultivated by Anglo-American intelligence agencies, whose leadership is harbored in London and Washington and their foot soldiers supplied a steady stream of covert military support and overt rhetorical support throughout the compromised corporate media. . .
With planted "speculation" running through the corporate media that a recent explosion, amongst several other "incidents" in Iran, were the work of Western covert operations, and the Jerusalem Post all but admitting the entire Western-backed destabilization in Syria aims not at ushering in "democracy" or upholding "human rights," but to weaken Iran by proxy, it is clear that everything within Wall Street and London's power is being done to provoke Iran. Iran has downplayed the recent explosion at their military base as an accident and has thus far maintained a persistent patience in the face of criminal provocations and overt acts of war by an alarmingly and increasingly depraved West.
It is quite clear that the stratagems spelled out in the corporate-funded Brookings Institute report "Which Path to Persia?" have been read and understood by both sides and that Iran realizes that any act of retaliation not expertly played, only gives the West what it has stated it wants—an excuse to go to war with the Islamic Republic. . .

US encourages its Citizens to leave Syria Immediately
November 23, 2011 — The US Embassy in Damascus, urges American citizens to leave Syria "immediately" because of the reduction in the number of commercial flights from that country, according to a warning published Wednesday on the Embassy website.
CBS said the warning from the State Department followed after it was announced that US ambassador to Damascus Robert Ford did not return to Syria this month as originally planned. The US diplomat, accused by local officials of interfering in the internal affairs of the country, was recalled from Syria in late October for security reasons. On Tuesday, a resolution condemning the Syrian authorities took the UN General Assembly on the initiative of the European countries and with US support. The document contains a critique of human rights violations in Syria. . . Full story: www.3rm.info
Russia warns NATO on its Readiness for Nuclear WWIII
November 20th, 2011 — In a November 17th speech to Russia's parliament, General Nikolai Makarov, chief of the General Staff of the Russian armed forces, spoke of concerns over NATO's expansion eastward and stated that the risks of Russia being pulled into local conflicts have "risen sharply". . . "under certain conditions local and regional conflicts may develop into a full-scale war involving nuclear weapons." The general said: "The possibility of local armed conflicts along nearly the whole border has increased dramatically. In certain conditions, I do not rule out local and regional armed conflicts developing into a large-scale war, including using nuclear weapons". . .
Unfortunately, the US may have already opened the nuclear Pandora's Box in Iraq. . . The US admits use of "depleted uranium" in its weapons systems which presents a very dangerous health hazard on its own, but high level traces of weapons grade uranium 235 have also been found. This could not come from depleted uranium and is only used in nuclear weapons and reactors. Since there are no leaking reactors in the area, the only logical conclusion is that "someone" used nuclear weapons there. We make and possess these types of weapons. Russia and Israel also have them. . .

One World Government! One World Financial System! One World Religion!
November 5, 2011 — The European Stability Mechanism ESM is a new EU-administration. To manage it, Brussels hires the Ministers of Finance of the 17 euro-countries. However, these ministers will come to Brussels with the key of their national vault and the full permission to take out all the money they want, when they want and as often as they want. The ESM is intended to be permanent and without limit. The 17 ministers won't have to justify the amounts they take, neither how they spend the money. The ESM-ministers will enjoy complete immunity against actions of governments, administrations or judges. The parliaments won't have a say over these ministers when the latter act under the treaty. This means the end of the sovereign democracies in the 17 euro-countries! . . . Full story: sovereignindependent.com
The (ESM) is supposed to address the EU's ability to deal with the "economic crisis," but it . . . is apparently a totalitarian pact for a new European empire to be implemented within one to two years. A new video explains that the REAL import of the ESM. . . If the contents of this video are to be believed, there can be no question now about the elite conspiracy. One can see it unfolding here. The EU was sold as a trade association. Later on it became a currency zone. Now it seeks to become an Empire, complete with vassals and conquered territories sending unlimited amounts of tribute.

A missionary here in Miami the other day was talking to me. He walked down the streets of London, England. . . He said, "I had six hundred dollars in my pocket . . . My little girl wanted a little cookie. And those six hundred dollars would not buy that little cookie. I had to have a stamp first. It's rationed."
Mark of the beast. . . No man can buy or sell except he that had the mark. And it's coming right here. You listen to it. You'll probably be seeing it 'fore I get back here again. It's right at the door, and we're near the end (At Thy Word Lord, #48-0305).
Zechariah Chapter Fourteen – Part I
Zechariah 14:1-5, "Behold, the Day of the Lord comes, and your spoil shall be divided in the midst of Jerusalem. 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 rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city".
Then [after three and a half years] the Lord shall go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the middle eastward and westward, and there will be a very great valley; and half of the mountain will remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains will reach unto Azal: You will flee as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord My God will come, and all the saints with Him".
Thank God for sending us a vindicated prophet in these last days who has "restored the apostolic faith" (Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11), and "finished the mystery of God" (Revelation 10:7) as Jesus promised. A Word is a thought expressed and Jesus Messiah is the sum of God's eternal thoughts—His very Self—expressed in the virgin born flesh of the Logos. Jesus is not a second or third person but the One Person of God manifest as the last Adam to discharge the duty of KINSMAN Redeemer for the first Adam and his seed that was potentially in Him then (Leviticus 47-55; Ruth). Redemption is based upon relationship by faith in the Logos which is union with the mind of God (I Corinthians 2:16; Ephesians 4:13; Philippians 2:5) and kinship by race to the first Adam who was an expression of the Logos made flesh, for Jesus who is the Word, can only redeem or buy back His own Attributes (Ephesians 1:4). This eliminates Cain and his race who were never in the Book of Life which is the genealogy of the first Adam's attributes which are being purged of sons whose free moral agency resists chastisement, proving they are not the Attributes of God in Christ (Hebrews 12:8, 16).
Jesus comes only three times:
First He came to redeem His Bride on Calvary; a physical or (Gk.) 'erchomai' Coming.
Second He came to unite with His Bride in the unity of the faith and receive her in the rapture. This is the (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming prophesied throughout the New Testament. It is His arrival and subsequent Presence—sight unseen; the revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963 brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form (I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 19:1-7).
Third will be His second physical (Gk.) 'erchomai' return after the consummation of life when He steps out on the ashes of the wicked with the glorified saints of all Ages for a thousand years of peace (Malachi 4:1-3).
Christians are not looking for the physical or (Gk.) 'erchomai' return of the glorified Jesus of Nazareth, and neither, once they are instructed, will the 144,000 elect Israelites. Jesus stated emphatically "do not look for the Man, look for Light on the fullness of the Word" which is Christ (Matthew 24:23-27). His second Coming to us Gentiles is the revelation of the Message of His end-time Prophet; His second Coming to Israel will also be in W_O_R_D form by revelation of the Message of two prophets three and a half years after our translation. Thus the 'rapture' is the threefold process explained in I Thessalonians 4:14-17 whereby faith transforms the thing hoped for into glorified substance after "the manifestation of the Sons of God" that will follow "the silence in heaven about the space of half an hour" (Ephesians 2:26; Hebrews 11:1; Romans 8:19; Revelation 8:1).
Six thousand years from the first Adam, and two thousand years from the last Adam finds this apostate world in spiritual turmoil. The Light of God's revealed Word is neither clear nor yet extinguished but inexplicable to thousands of (so-called) Christian denominations or sects, each preaching contrary one to another. This was foreknown, and while they refuse any Light of "the present Truth" but grope around His Word by the guesswork of human reasoning, "it shall come to pass, said Zechariah, that at evening time it shall be Light" (Zechariah 14:9-7; Matthew 24:28, 14).
Though Moses and Daniel foretold the year, month, day and hour in which Messiah would be slain, Israel, having rejected the Elijah of Malachi 3 for theological traditions that make the Word of God of no effect (Matthew 15:1-9) sought His first Coming according the prophecy for His third Coming as a Warrior to conquer Rome and "restore the kingdom to Israel." But "God has confined all men in unbelief, that He might have mercy on all" (Romans 11:18-32). Now that the Gentiles are apostate "and know it not," having rejected the Elijah of Malachi 4 for theological traditions, they are looking for His unseen second Coming according to the oracle for His physical third Coming (II Thessalonians 2:1-3; Revelation 3:17-20).
Let us therefore hasten slowly with this study to ensure our understanding is fixed to a correct chronological order of events and the clear revelation of Scripture. We will begin in Matthew's Gospel which he addressed primarily to Israelites. In chapter 23 Jesus indicted the Scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites blind to the faith, brim-full of iniquity, and finally, physical Serpent's seed, and declared: "your house [the temple] is left forsaken and desolate; for I tell you, you will not see Me [God] again, until you shall say: Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord."
It was Tuesday afternoon, April 4, AD30, and as they were leaving the temple, "Jesus' disciples directed His attention to its beautiful buildings and votive gifts, [which these sons of Galilee had so often contemplated with amazement as God's only sanctuary on earth. But Jesus was preaching the end of the temple, the city, the old economy of things, and the future manifestation on earth of the glorious New Jerusalem when heaven and earth embrace and Christ and His Bride is the temple (Revelation 21; 22)]. Jesus answered: Do you see all of these things? I assure you, there will not be one stone left upon another that will not be thrown down".
Crossing the Kidron otherwise known as the Valley of Jehoshaphat they climbed the Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem, and as they sat alone that evening on the slopes of the mountain the disciples asked Jesus three questions:Tell us when will it be that not one stone of the temple will be left on another? What will be the sign of Your second [or (Gk.) 'parousia'] Coming? And what will be the sign of the consummation of the dispensations or ages? (Gk.) Kairos time.
Matthew 24:4-5: "And Jesus answered and said, Take heed that no man misleads you. For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." This is the First Seal of redemption that ran from the Day of Pentecost, through the Church Ages of Ephesus (53-170), Smyrna (170-312), and Pergamos (312-606), whose angels or Messengers were Paul, Irenaeus, and Martin (Revelation 6:1-2).
Matthew 24:6: "And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that you are not alarmed: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." This was the Second Seal of redemption that encompassed almost a thousand years known as the Dark Ages represented by Columba's Thyatira Church Age (606-1520, Revelation 6:3-4).
Matthew 24:7: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places." This was the Third Seal of redemption for the Sardis (1520-1750) and Philadelphia (1750-1906) Church Ages whose angels were Martin Luther and John Wesley (Revelation 6:5-6).
Matthew 24:8: "All these [wars] are of earth's pains for rebirth." This is the Fourth Seal of spiritual redemption for the saints of the Laodicean Church Age (1906-1963) and for Christ's end-time Bride in this present holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal Feast (1963 until the earthquake that sinks Los Angeles; Revelation 6:7-8). From the perspective of Matthew's Israelite readers the birth pangs will culminate in the spiritual re-birth of the nation in one day—all 144,000 of them—under the Sixth Seal and Seventh Trumpet (Isaiah 66:8; Revelation 6:11b; 7:2-4; 11:11-13; 12:11; 13:7; 14:1-5, 12 – 15:4). Israel's birth pangs coincide with the three "woes" of earth's birth pains under their Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Trumpets in World Wars I, II and III (Revelation 8:13 – 9:12; 9:13-21, 11:14; and 11:15-19; 12:7 – 15:4) to cleanse herself for the millennium which is when the Kingdom will be restored to Israel (Acts 1:6).
Matthew 24:9-13: "Then they will deliver you [Israelites] up to tribulation (Jeremiah 30:7), and martyr you: and you will be hated by all nations for My Name's sake (Matthew 27:25-26; John 11:49-52; Deuteronomy 19:21). Then many will fall away and will betray and hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and will deceive many. [In Newsletter 484 the Jews name Jesus among twenty-five Jewish false messiahs and the "Talmud" says the sufferings or "travail" are the "throes of mother Zion which is in labor to bring forth the Messiah—without metaphor, the Jewish people"]. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall grow cold. But he who endures to the end will be saved."
This was the Fifth Seal under which the names of blood Israelites (not self-styled Jews) martyred from Calvary to the end of the Gentile dispensation for their adherence to the Law and the prophets are preserved in the Book of Life, and will be granted in to eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment (Revelation 6:9-11). God allowed their Talmudic rabbis to blind them to the "present Truth" so He could "first visit the Gentiles to take out a people, for His Name, [a Bride]. And to this agree the Words of the prophets" (Isaiah 29:9-16; Matthew 15:1-9; Romans 11:25, 32; Acts 15:14-15). Today He has allowed our (once) Protestant churches to be blind to the "present Truth" and impersonate the Word for a day gone by; these too will be martyred, for He is preparing to return to Israel.
It was Jesus' confrontation with Israel's apostate religious leaders that afternoon which led to His warning in verses 4-13, as He explains in verse 14: "throughout the national apostasy this Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come" (verse 14; Malachi 1:11; Daniel 12:4, 9; Matthew 10:23; Revelation 10:4). During the Gentile dispensation not only will He woo and wed His Gentile Bride; His Word will determine who (by the exercise of their free moral agency) will constitute the nations of the "saved" that will be incorporated into the realm of His all-embracing Messianic dominion on this renewed earth. For "peoples, nations and tongues will continue to exist and serve Him" throughout eternity (Daniel 7:14, 27; Philippians 2:9-11; Revelation 21:24-26).
"The end" of the ages or dispensations of grace will come when the Gospel has been preached in all the inhabited earth for a testimony in "all nations" and the last member of Christ's end-time Bride recognizes her day and it's Message. Then the Seventh Trumpet, Sixth Seal and Seventh Vial will manifest bringing judgments upon the non-elect Gentiles and everyone on earth. The Gospel will be reconfirmed to Israel by two witnesses to gather the ten tribes from exile in Muslim lands and two tribes from the four corners of the earth (Isaiah 11:11-16; Daniel 9:27). Like His end-time Bride the 144,000 elect Israelites were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary but will be martyred for their faith with the "saved" non-elect.
Redemption was over when folk "would not endure sound doctrine . . . and be turned to fables," then Brother Branham's Message revealing the mystery of the Seven Seals "proclaimed the day of vengeance of our God" (Isaiah 61:2b; II Timothy 4:3-4; Revelation 3:17-20; 4; 5; 10:1-4). When the last saint predestinated to the Laodicean Church Age was baptized into Christ He descended as judge with the unsealed Book open in His hand.
Amos 3:7, "The Lord God will do nothing of great moment without first revealing His secret to His servants the prophets [with warning and a way to escape the judgment]." Christ's mediation for ignorance of the fullness of God's Word ended when the Lamb left the altar of sacrifice to claim His inheritance. All Seven Church Ages were over; the seven portions of the Spirit that had anointed the "angels" and saints in each Church Age were back before the Throne, and without Blood the Mercy Seat became a Judgment Seat. Revelation 4 and 5 were fulfilled and the saints crowned Christ King of Kings; no longer is He the Lamb in the Office of Son of God but the Lion of the Tribe of Judah in the office Son of man.
"The time of the end" commenced on about March 8, 1963, when Christ took the Book of Redemption, opened the Seven Seals and descended wigged as Judge in the prophetic Office of Son of man with the Book open in His left hand to reveal their mystery through His servant, William Branham (Daniel 12:4, 9; Matthew 24:14; John 5:27; I Thessalonians 4:14-16; Jude 14-15; Revelation 10:1-7).
A prophet is a sign of impending judgment. Brother Branham's Message is the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6, which is the "shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16, calling the wise and foolish virgin OUT from Rome and her apostate (once) Protestant daughters God has indicted, "INTO the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation" (Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 15:46-57). Following Martin Luther and John Wesley He was the "third angel [of the Reformation of the Judaeo-Roman Catholic system of false worship], saying with a loud voice: If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, he shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out undiluted into the cup of His indignation; and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the Presence of the Lamb (Matthew 16:27-28; 25:31): and the smoke of their torment ascends up forever and ever (Isaiah 34:10; Matthew 25:41; Revelation 18:8, 18; 19:3): and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name" (Revelation 14:9-11). Brother Branham's Message was confirmed by the heavenly Voice of the Archangel—Christ in the heart of His end-time Bride whispering His secrets to place the Message from Genesis to Revelation and bring her to maturity (I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 18:4).
Since you are privileged above almost every living person to understand these revelations and recognize your day and it's Message, "be not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work" in this hour where the darkness of apostasy is enveloping the world. Christ's mediation and all seven Church Ages are over, yet Judaeo-Roman denominations and cults like British Israel, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witness, Worldwide Church of God, Philadelphian Church, Christian Identity, mainstream denominations and independents, continue preaching "that which is in PART" augmented by human reasoning against the Word like the Judahites (and their impersonators) two thousand years after the termination of their dispensation. Oh, they see storm clouds of God's wrath overhead, and like the Israelites in their day, they know the Coming of the Lord is nigh, but satisfied with their second-hand religion they are not prepared to search the Scripture to learn "the present Truth . . . He is come, and what Jesus is doing now" (Hosea 4:6).
Daniel (2:34-35, 44) said to Nebuchadnezzar: "You watched the image until you saw a stone hewn without hands strike his feet of iron and clay, breaking them to pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold, were all pulverized and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors which the wind carried away so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. . . . And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: nor its sovereignty left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever".
In Isaiah 34:8, "The day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion" announces "the judgment to the Gentiles" under the Sixth Seal (Isaiah 24; Joel 3:9-15; Matthew 24:29; Hebrews 12:26-27; II Peter 3:7, 10; Revelation 6:12-17) and Brother Branham's Seventh Vial where the wrath of the Lord is kindled against all nations and all that belongs to them (verses 1-4). Being (Heb.) cherem, they are to be given up to slaughter and cast out so "the stench of their corpses shall rise, and the mountains flow with their blood." Isaiah is prophesying the destruction of the world. In verses 2-3 he declares what the Lord purposes to do on earth—His acts of will, not of performance. Verse 4 pictures the judgment that will be executed in heaven with the casting down of Satan and his host. Combining intention and performance in the remainder of the chapter, Isaiah contemplates the judgment of God beginning in heaven and continuing on earth (I Peter 4:17; Revelation 12:7).
In verse 5 Isaiah says the sword of the Lord, intoxicated with the judgment accomplished on "the host of the high ones that are on high" (24:21), and thirsting for more blood, descends to earth—first on Edom, the nation which is (Heb.) 'cherem.' John Hyrcanus, high priest and prince of the Maccabees, defeated and forcibly assimilated the Edomites in 123BC. In 129BC Ammonius wrote, "The Idumeans were . . . subdued by the Judahites and compelled to be circumcised, and to unite into one nation, and be subject to the same laws, they were called Jews." Predominantly physical Serpent's seed and more numerous than Judahites in the days of our Lord, these Edomites "were hereafter no other than Jews" (Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, XIII, 9:1).
"Jews who had been banished from Constantinople by the Byzantine ruler Leo III found a home amongst these heretofore pagan Khazars and in competition with Mohammedan and Christian missionaries, won them over to the Judaic faith. Bulan, the ruler of Khazaria, became converted to Judaism around AD740. His nobles and, somewhat later, his people followed suit" (Dr. Alfred Lilienthal, The Jews are not a Race). These people who originated in Lower Mongolia are Serpent's seed.
This helps define the prophecy of Zechariah 13:7b – 14:5 where the Lord turns His "hand upon the little ones [of the blood of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob]. And it shall come to pass, that two thirds of the population of the land [of the Covenant], will be cut off and die; but the third shall be left. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and refine them as silver is refined, and try them as gold is tried: they shall call on My Name, and I will hear them [not on the ground of inherent righteousness of the flesh but by grace through faith, "For they are not all Israel who are of Israel" (Romans 9:6)]: "I will say, It is My people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God." This prophecy for the end time was declared "in the year that king Uzziah died . . . yet it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and be dealt with as a tree that was felled for burning, so there will remain of true Israel but the stump of a remnant in the root of which will be the holy seed of 144,000 elect Israelites" (Isaiah 6:13).
The non-Semitic self-styled Jews will be cut off and the Lord God will try the pure blood Israelites who return to the Land of their Covenant and take a tithe of 144,000.
Apostate Adamites entitled to claim the birthright but proven to be "fornicators or profane persons like Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright," are spiritual Edomites in fornication with man-made traditions against Christ the Word (Hebrews 12:16). The seed of Cain "is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be very afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain: he is the servant of God to execute His wrath on the wrongdoer" (Romans 13:4). So in current affairs we witness God's judgment upon the remnant of true Israel and professing Christians residing in Babylon, now Iraq, the lion-like first beast with eagle's wings; and the 'City of London'-dominated US image to the beast of Imperial Rome is gunning for the bear-like second beast Medo-Persia, now Iran, home to the largest known population of Israelites in the Middle East. And Greece, the four-headed leopard with four wings like a fowl, was subdued economically and politically last week when the EU President imposed technocrat economist Lucas Papademos, former vice president of the European Central Bank and Bank of Greece governor and a member of the Trilateral Commission since 1998, as prime minister. Rome, home of the ten-horned fourth beast, was also subdued economically and politically when technocrat economist Mario Monti, former EU Competition Commissioner, European Chairman of the Trilateral Commission, and a Bilderberger was made senator for life and prime minister.
Political analyst Peter Eyre explains how disreputable politicians placed in positions of power have brought politics into disrepute; the next step is to remove all pretence of constitutional rights by replacing politicians with banksters and bureaucrats who will sort out the economy by dispensing with politics altogether. That way, we can get on with working to maintain The System, without bothering about policies and human rights.
With her US image the fourth beast has recovered the kingdoms of the previous beasts, most recently Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt—portions of the Assyrian empire whence the twelve Tribes will return from exile: Lebanon, Syria, and Iran are yet to be taken. Rome and the self-styled Jews with the common objective of one totalitarian world government are mutual enemies of the Israelites. Eventually Jewry will side with Judaeo-Russia and annihilate both the United States and Vatican City, leading to Armageddon.
Jesus now reverts to the first question of verse 3a: "Tell us when will it be that not one stone of the temple will be left on another"? In verse 15 He says: "When you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place, (let the reader understand)".
This prophecy has a twofold meaning. Early in the Gentile dispensation "the abomination of desolation" referred to the eagle standards of the Roman Legions of Titus as the parallel passage in Luke 21:20 warned, "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, the time for its destruction is nigh." The military ensigns of their colonial masters were hateful to the Judeans to whom the eagle was an abomination (Leviticus 11:13). Standing on the Mount of Olives rising over the temple site they signified the holy place had fallen under dominion to the idolaters. In fact it had fallen under the dominion of Satan and his dupes, the apostate priests and so-called Jews who had murdered the God of the temple. Verses 16-21 declare this was to be a sign to Christians to take immediate flight lest they be trapped on a sabbath when the city gates were shut, or overtaken by winter's snow.
Matthew interjected: "let the reader understand," referring us to Daniel 9:25-26: "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem (445BC, Nehemiah 1:1-2:8) to Prince Messiah will be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks [483 years of prophetic years of 360 days] . . . After which Messiah will be slain, though innocent: and the people of the [Roman] prince who comes will destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end will be with a flood [of overwhelming military force], and desolations are determined to the end of the war." Matthew expounded to his Israelite readers Jesus' awareness and confirmation of Daniel's prophecy 578 years previously which pinpointed the year of His cruel murder at the hands of self-styled Jews and Israelites (on the month, day and hour prophesied by Moses); the near approach of the Jewish war, Jerusalem's destruction by a Roman General (subsequently recorded by the historian Josephus), and war against Israel by the Judaeo-Roman beast extending to the consummation.
Israel's high priests, theologians and Sanhedrin of elders were absolutely blind to the written THUS SAITH THE LORD of this vindicated prophet—a perfect type of the ministers and elders in today's so-called Christian church. Do you see how Satan blinds religious people, leading them to man-made theology that makes the Word of God of none effect and transforms them into fanatics? Thus led by their apostate priesthood, all the people unanimously prophesied against themselves: "His blood be on us and on our children" (Matthew 27:25). "Crucify Him" (Mark 15:13); as in the near future the same people will covenant with apostate Christians to unanimously declare Satan, then incarnate in Rome's pope, president of one world government.
"To ensure no food or water supply would reach the city from the outside, Titus completely sealed off Jerusalem from the rest of the world with a wall of earth as high as the stone wall around Jerusalem itself. Anyone not a Roman soldier caught anywhere in this vast dry moat was crucified on the top of the earthen wall in sight of the Jews of the city. It was not uncommon for as many as five hundred people a day to be so executed. The air was redolent with the stench of rotting flesh and rent by the cries and agony of the crucified. But the Jews held out for still another year, the fourth year of the war, to the discomfiture of Titus" (Max Dimont, Jews, God, and History, p. 101). Emulating Titus' strategy, one of their own, Sir Henry Kissinger, declared "Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people."
This was the First Trumpet judgment calling Israel out of spiritual Egypt to recognize that their true Atonement took place that day on Calvary when Israel crucified her Messiah (Revelation 8:7). We live under the Sixth Trumpet pending the Seventh Trumpet that will call the great tribulation, "the time of Jacob's trouble" to true Israelites when two prophets will reveal the mystery of their Feast of Trumpets calling them to mourn their Atonement after the Church Age saints resurrect and "we who are alive and remain" have manifested that we are the Sons of God.
Matthew speaks to the saints of all Seven Church Ages, whose members were mainly Israelite converts until the Thyatira Church Age, which commenced in AD606. Verses 15-28 concern our tribulation and persecution throughout the Gentile dispensation, which, as we have explained, is the period covered by the first Five Seals. "The abomination of desolation" over the ancient holy place is no longer the Roman ensigns on the Mount of Olives, but es Sakhra, the Dome of the Rock, whose construction was erected between 689 and 691, dedicated in 692 and is said to be the site of Mohammed's night travels on the steed Buraq to "the farthest mosque" where he led other prophets in prayer, then rode to heaven where he spoke to God, who gave him instructions for the faithful on Earth regarding the number of times to offer prayers each day.
Verses 22-28 concern the Seventh Seal and Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming for His end-time Bride. "Unless those days [of tribulation] are shortened, [all mankind would perish through germ warfare or atomic conflagration, and] there would be no flesh saved [for the translation]. But for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened".
How can time be shortened?" For God's elect, time is being shortened by the revelations in Brother Branham's Message which restore us to the apostolic faith, separate us from the love of the world and the world church system, and draw us to maturity in the unity of the faith under preeminence to His Word so that what we say He will do in the manifestation of the Sons of God, and faith will change our atoms to meet the Lord in the air. For the rest of humanity time will continue for several years before it is "shortened" by martyrdom or nuclear annihilation in the great tribulation.
Faith in this end-time Message is our Passport to eternal Life; our ticket to escape. Foolish virgin in the circle of this Message and those without will not escape martyrdom.
"Then [in the days of Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming, which is the "shortening of days"] if any one says to you, Look, here is Christ! Or there He is! Believe it not. For there shall arise false anointed ones and false prophets who will show great signs and wonders insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. So if they say to you, Behold, He is in the desert; do not go out: Look, He is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the Lightning comes out of the east, and shines to the west; so will the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man be. For wherever the Body is, there the eagles will be gathered together".
This is a universal Coming; we are NOT to look for the Man. A man cannot appear universally—the revelation of the Seven Seals did not bring Jesus of Nazareth back to earth, it brought Christ the Logos or fullness of the W_O_R_D back to earth in the prophetic office Son of man. The S_O_N Light that quickened the saints in the morning of the Gospel has been restored in the evening to quicken us to the Living Body Word (Zechariah 14:7).
Matthew 24:29-31, "Immediately after the tribulation of the Gentile dispensation the sun [S_O_N Light] will be darkened, the moon [church] shall not reflect her light [from the S_O_N in His absence], the stars will fall from heaven [ministers will apostatize], and the powers of the heavens will be shaken [casting Satan and his host down to Earth]." Jesus is describing the Sixth Seal which will manifest at the same time as Israel's Seventh Trumpet sounds and the Seventh Vial is poured out on non-elect Gentiles to distinguish the foolish virgin from unbelievers. This will end the Gentile dispensation; call the resurrection of the Church Age saints and the manifestation of the living Sons of God. Satan will be cast down to earth and after the translation God will endue two Israelite prophets with the Spirit that anointed Moses and Elijah. The Church is gone, and God is dealing with an election of blood Israelites in the land of the Covenant.
Jesus next turns to the disciples' second question, Matthew 24:3b: "What will be the sign of Your second [or 'parousia'] Coming"? In verse 30 He answers: "Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven." This sign of Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming to the elect Israelites will be the Shekinah, a Supernatural Cloud of glory like the sign heralding His 'parousia' Coming to us pictured here over Arizona on February 28, 1963. On Mount Transfiguration Jesus showed Peter, James and John a vision of His second or 'parousia' coming to Israel that will be revealed by the ministry of a Moses and Elijah who will expound the purpose of the Law and identify the revelations of the prophets fulfilled in the history of the past 2,000 years (Matthew 16:27 – 17:1-9). Moses represents the resurrected saints and Elijah represents we who will change in the atoms before their ministry to Israel. Christ's end-time Bride has seen the sign of His 'parousia' to us, but when we are caught up into the Shekinah with the resurrected Church Age saints "every eye shall see and meet the glorified Lord in the air." However in this verse Jesus is speaking of the appearance of the sign of His 'parousia' Coming to Israel, and their revelation of its import, quickened by the visible resurrection and ascent of their two prophets more than three and a half years after our translation.
Jesus continues, "Then all of the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." The world population will not be ignorant of the Gospel; as we read in verse 14, "this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached all over the world for a witness to all nations [that is to us Gentiles]; then will the end come." The end time began in 1963 when Christ opened the Seven Seals and revealed their mystery through His Prophet Brother Branham. For three and a half years under one world government all humanity will have witnessed two strange men preaching in Israel dressed in course dark garments of sackcloth made from animal hair. Like Noah they will be known worldwide and derided for their radical Hebrew Message indicting Judaism and rabbis of every sect; for their authority over nature to withhold rain, turn waters into blood, or scourge earth with every kind of plague as often as they desire, and slay by the spoken Word any who seek to harm or offend.
Israel's prophets will be so feared and despised that after martyrdom by the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church they will lie unburied three and a half days in the street where Jesus Messiah was crucified. All kindreds, tongues and nations who see their corpses on television, the internet or cell phone will rejoice, make merry, and exchange gifts in celebration of the death of these two men of God who tormented them as they did recently over the martyrdom of president Milosevic and Colonel Gaddafi. After three and a half days and by this means the world will witness the resurrection and ascension of Israel's prophets, and a great earthquake will slay seven thousand in Jerusalem (heralding the Spiritual resurrection or new birth of the 144,000).
The "tribes of earth," just and unjust non-elect will not (as might be supposed) see the physical return of the glorified Jesus: only those who return with Him will see His physical return and "tread down the [atomic] ashes of the wicked" after the consummation (Malachi 4:3). However by their familiarity with the Gospel Message, no matter how shallow, their witness of the heavenly sign, the powerful witness of Israel's two prophets and their vindication in public resurrection and translation into heaven, they will see that Jesus Christ is returning to earth in the flesh as He was taken up into heaven, and mourn, knowing they have missed the 'rapture' and will be martyred, or that they are LOST.
The pattern prophesied in Zechariah 14:1-8, Matthew 24:22-31, and Revelation 1:7 is common to both Christ's end-time Bride and to the 144,000 elect Israelites: First will be the appearance of the "sign of the Son of man," the Shekinah in the form of a Pillar of Cloud. Second will be the revelation by the elect of Christ's 'parousia' Coming. Third will be the realization by the non-elect of the vindication of Scripture and a fearful mourning among the foolish virgin and other classes of the "saved" knowing they have fallen short of the mark of God's high calling, and must surrender their life for His Word in order to maintain their name in the Book of Life.
Verse 31: "And He shall send His angels [the Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11] with the great sound of [Israel's Seventh] Trumpet (Revelation 11:15), and they will gather together His elect from the four winds [war and strife] from one end of heaven to the other [to the land of the Covenant in the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week]." Israelis are predominately non-Semitic self-styled Jews and not the people of God's Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Israel.
Now let us return to verses 14-15, "This Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached all over the world for a witness to all nations [and last of all Israel when they return from their dispersion in the mainly Muslim lands, for "blindness in part has happened to Israel until the last elect Gentile comes in" (Romans 11:25), that is, until Daniel's Seventieth Week. Jesus told His disciples, "You will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of man Comes" (Matthew 10:23); then will the end come."
From the perspective of the Church and Israel today: "the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet is es Sakhra, the Dome of the Rock which will stand desecrating the holy place until the end of the Gentile dispensation, at which time it will be demolished by the earthquake" of Zechariah 14:4-5, Revelation 6:12; 8:5; 11:19 and 16:19 which will cleave the Mount of Olives in two along the natural fault line illustrated in the diagram. This will instantly ignite the brief 'hot stage' of the present World War III wherein God "will gather all nations to war against Jerusalem; and the city shall be taken, and the houses plundered, the spoil divided in her midst, and the women raped; half of the city will go forth into captivity, and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city." This aligns United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 of November 29, 1947 with Zechariah's prophecy of over 2,500 years ago.
Tomorrow's 'news' was written in 1871. The 'hidden hand' which always controls both sides of the Hegelian dialectic will soon present the world with a fait accompli: "choose you this day Judaeo-Communism or Judaeo-Catholicism." Brother Branham taught us Communism is a spirit Jesus called "Laodicea," which means "people's rights." This spirit has invaded all nations by Vatican City State, the City State of London, the City State of Washington DC. Consider 9/11—a justification for waging a war without borders, al Qaeda, "Occupy Wall Street," "colour revolutions," "Arab Spring," etc. In his letter to Giuseppe Mazzini dated August 15, 1871 Albert Pike explained his plan for world conquest:
World War II was to be fomented by using the differences between Fascists and Political Zionists. This war was to be fought so that Nazism would be destroyed and the power of Political Zionism increased so that the sovereign state of Israel could be established in Palestine. [Satan needs modern Israel to impersonate God's plan with global government, usurp Michael's right as King of kings and receive universal adoration as God (II Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 13:8). God needs the land of the Covenant as it is the one place He has chosen to meet His nation of 144,000 elect Israelites, "for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance" (Joel 2:32; Deuteronomy 16:5-6). But until He performs the Word he spoke by Zechariah to reduce the squatters, Israelites will not return to the land of the covenant "for fear of the Jews"]. During World War II International Communism was to be built up until it equaled in strength that of united Christendom. At this point it was to be contained and kept in check until required for the final social cataclysm. [Are you following the current 'news'? Do you see how history is pre-planned by the children of Cain (Matthew 23:33-35)]? Can any informed person deny [that the Jews] Roosevelt and Churchill did put this policy into effect?
World War III is to be fomented by using the differences the agentur of the Illuminati stir up between Political Zionists and the leaders of the Moslem world. The war is to be directed in such a manner that Islam (the Arab World including Mohammedanism) and Political Zionism (including the State of Israel) will destroy themselves while at the same time the remaining nations, once more divided against each other on this issue, will be forced to fight themselves into a state of complete exhaustion physically, mentally, spiritually and economically. Can any unbiased and reasoning person deny that the intrigue now going on in the Near, Middle, and Far East, [the alien-controlled UN, congress and parliaments] is designed to accomplish this devilish purpose? Do you see the devilment in multiculturalism (miscegenation), feminism, homosexual 'rights', humanism, usury, no-fault divorce, dual citizenship and other perversions against the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to divide and conquer your family, your community and your nation with hate]?
After World War III is ended, those who aspire to undisputed world domination will provoke the greatest social cataclysm the world has ever known. [Only one blinded by sin could fail to see how 'social engineering' using the controlled media, diabolically perverse school and higher education, false history, devious government statutes dictated by the UN, corrupt courts, misdirection of police to generate revenue rather than preserve peace, TV mind manipulation, etc., has eroded individual intelligence, belief in the Bible, moral rigor, physical vigor and community harmony]. We quote Albert Pike's own written words taken from the letter catalogued in the British Museum Library, London, England:
"We shall unleash the Nihilists and Atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will be from that moment without compass, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in public view, a manifestation which will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time" (William Guy Carr, Pawns in the Game, p. xv-xvi).
If you follow the 'news' you will know "we" is the powerful rulers of the 'City of London' whose colonies include, the UK, US, Canada, Australia and over fifty other puppet nations and elements of the reviving Judaeo-Roman empire, to kill, rape and loot at her bidding. This is taking place now. The identity, mindset and objectives of the Luciferian "we" is spelled out in The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, and if you have any further doubt, study the Talmud.
Do you see how the world is being manipulated to fulfill that satanic objective? Jesus' counsel to this last generation before the consummation of life is: "Buy of Me gold tried in the fire that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness does not appear; and anoint your eyes with eyesalve, that you may see" (Revelation 3:18).
The end of the Gentile dispensation will be marked by an earthquake of magnitude unprecedented in human history; it will sink Los Angeles and a 1,500 x 300-400 mile segment of earth's crust (Hebrews 12:22-29; Revelation 16:18; 18:21); while another earthquake will demolish the "abomination of desolation," or Dome of the Rock on Temple Mount (Revelation 6:12, 8:5). The Prophet said, "The second forerunner of Christ will sow for the latter rain [the 'third pull' in the manifestation of the Sons of God (Romans 8:19)]. Jesus will be the showdown between the denominations and creeds, for He will come to back up His Word and take His Bride in the rapture. The first showdown was Mount Carmel; the second was Mount Transfiguration, and the third will be Mount Zion" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 174:2).
The first resurrection will commence three days after the earthquake, and unto the Pentecostal Jubilee Christ's end-time Bride will manifest that they are the Sons of God. Daniel's Seventieth Week will commence from the translation of the Church and end with our return for the millennium when 144,000 Israelites, resurrected and glorified, "anoint the Most Holy Place . . . New Jerusalem, that descends from God out of heaven as a Bride adorned for Her Husband; and a great voice out of heaven will declare, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God"—New Jerusalem is God manifest in His Family—Jesus Christ and His Bride of all Ages. In this form He will be worshiped throughout eternity by the "saved" dwelling around the earth outside the City (Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel's Visit to Daniel, p. 51:35, 125, 135-136).
After earthquakes sink Los Angeles and much of California "the cities of the nations [will] fall" as tidal waves sweep the seas (Revelation 18:21-24; 19:18-19; Luke 21:25). With the destruction of the Dome of the Rock the Bible says "all nations" will attack Jerusalem. Muslim nations will rise to defend Islam's second most holy site, but I expect philo-Zionist nations with their militaries deployed worldwide in imperial aggressions or wrecked, and the devastation of their homelands from earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and violent winds generated by the unprecedented convulsion of nature in their homelands, the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic Israeli State will be utterly defeated as foretold by Judah's Prophet Zechariah. Furthermore, in the brief 'hot stage' of World War III Russia will support her Muslim friends and also invade, conquer and briefly garrison the devastated US mainland.
Rome will unite a federation of world religions with legations in the Vatican; the Black Nobility (NATO) "will give power and strength to the beast," and her reviving Roman empire will "ratify a covenant with the [non-Semitic] Jewish [banksters of the City of London] for one week [of seven years]" (Daniel 9:27; Revelation 17:12-13). Then, backed by Russia's religious leaders and guaranteeing gold backing to refinance the US dollar and restart the world economy, her black bishop will check the militarily victorious Judaeo-Communist white knight proving that gold and the love of money talk louder than guns (Revelation 13:4). Rome's pope will negotiate peace, Russia will withdraw her troops and the world will proclaim the Devil-incarnate pope president of one totalitarian world government.
Jerusalem will become a 'corpus separatum' or "separated body," an internationally administered zone encompassing the 1947 municipal boundaries "plus surrounding villages and towns." This special legal and political status peculiar to its environment "under a special international regime administered by the United Nations" is because "of its association with three world religions." The Plan was never implemented. At the end of the 1948-49 War, an armistice line was drawn, with western Jerusalem in Israeli hands, and east Jerusalem, together with the whole West Bank, controlled by Transjordan. Yet the 1947 plan under United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 is the basis on which Zechariah 14:2 and Revelation 16:19 will be fulfilled in the very near future and administered by the Judaeo-Roman church as foretold in Daniel 4:23; 9:27; 11:45; Luke 21:24; 23:28-31; Job 22:23; Revelation 13:1-3. These maps show the 1947 UN Partition of Palestine into three parts, a Jewish part, a Palestinian part and an internationally administered zone to include the city of Jerusalem as a Corpus Separatum to be governed by the United Nations.
With peace restored the self-styled non-Semitic Jews and apostate Israelites will reinstate their animal sacrifices as they did on their return from the Captivity when "They set the altar in its place; for fear was in them because of the people of those countries: and they offered . . . the continual burnt offering . . . But the foundation of the temple of the Lord was not yet laid" (Ezra 3:3-6). Today's Temple Mount Terrorists have prepared the foundation stone for a third "temple made with hands" wherein they will restore the temple worship as desolate of the Spirit, blind and blasphemous as it was when Messiah departed Herod's temple. The desolating abomination of es Sakhra will be replaced by the desolating abomination of a new "Jews' house" wherein God will not dwell (Matthew 23:38; Acts 7:48-50). Then "in the midst of the seven-year covenant [between the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church and the international or "wandering" Cainite Jewish banksters, the "prince" of Rome will abrogate his covenant and] cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he will make it desolate until the consummation [by forcing his trinitarian worship which is the mark of the beast]" (Daniel 9:27; Isaiah 28:18-22; Revelation 13:5-10, 15-18).
Daniel 12:11-12, "And from the time the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the [Judaeo-Roman Catholic] abomination that makes the temple desolate is enforced, there shall be 1,290 days. Blessed is he who is steadfast to the end, and comes to the 1,335 days." This abomination will be the forcing of Rome's mark of the beast—her trinitarian dogma as symbolized by the golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication (impure doctrine) from which she has made all nations to drink. Jesus "saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the Christian martyrs . . . and in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth" (Revelation 17:4-6; 18:6, 24).
The Lord will withhold the destruction of Rome and the United States until the 144,000 elect Israelites have been born-again (Revelation 7:2-4). After they have been martyred by Rome, she must drink in double measure the judgment she has brought upon the world (Revelation 17:1-4; 18:3, 6). This will follow her forsaking by the Black Nobility (Revelation 17:16-18) and her erstwhile companions, the non-Semitic Jews who will side with Judaeo-Communist Russia to blast both the Vatican and the United States from the face of the earth (Revelation 18:8-20). Thereafter Armageddon will break out and destroy all life on earth. Clearly, Daniel's Seventieth Week will be one full week of seven prophetic years to be completed after the end of the Gentile dispensation, and not, as many who take the "letter" of Brother Branham's Message without reference to Scripture to ensure their understanding is by the same "Spirit" that inspired the Prophet.
Jesus now turns to the disciples' third question, Matthew 24:3c: "What will be the sign of the end of the world"? In verse 32 He says: "Now learn a parable of the fig tree [the symbol of Israel]; when its branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves [as it did in 1948], you know that summer [and the harvest of trees] is nigh: so when you observe all I have taught from verse 4 come to pass, know that [the revelation of the Feast of Trumpets, the true Atonement, final harvest of elect Israelites, the dawning of the millennium or seventh day of the antitype of the Feast of Tabernacles and] My physical return is near, even at the doors. I assure you; all these things will be fulfilled before the generation that sees the state of Israel re-established expires through old age. Heaven and earth shall change and be renewed, but My Words must be fulfilled. But no one knows that day and hour, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only".
Jesus could not explain His answer to this question more fully because it was not revealed to Him prior to His ascension: this was the UNWRITTEN seventh Seal of Revelation 8:1, which was sealed from the foundation of the world to the time of the end (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:6). The mystery of the UNWRITTEN Seventh Seal is the revelation of the previous six WRITTEN Seals; it was the mysteries of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10 which were revealed "in the days of the voice of the angel to the Seventh Church Age," William Marrion Branham (1909-1965; Revelation 10:7).
For the benefit of this last generation Jesus spoke in parables describing the world condition in the time of His 'parousia' Coming under the Seventh Seal which commenced in 1963 after all Seven Church Ages were fulfilled. He prophesied:
Verses 38-41: World conditions of the days of Noah would repeat with great achievements in science, engineering and construction, but earth would be filled with corruption, violence, "free love," and a repetition of the original sin, miscegenation between the descendants of Adam and Cain's race which sinful politicians and churchmen encourage and applaud under the euphemism "multiculturalism".
Although the Lord had sealed Noah into the promise of his Message, he preached for seven days to the unbelievers without until the rain came and destroyed them. And although the Church has been redeemed since Laodicea ended in 1963, His end-time Bride has preached for fifty-two years to unbelievers without who imagine themselves within.
Verses 42-45: The Lord has "come as a thief" under the Sixth Vial before the pouring out of the Seventh Vial (I Thessalonians 5:1-4; Revelation 16:15).
Verses 42-51: Jesus admonishes us, "Watch and be ready . . . [feeding your soul on] meat in due season" which is the only way you can recognize your day and it's Message. God is only writing epistles of the present truth—what Jesus is doing now so we must "walk in the Light He is shining for this our day," one cannot be born-again by the Light of Luther, Wesley, or any part of the Body that is already made up (II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7).
Matthew 25:1-13: The "Midnight cry" was the Message of God's Prophet; it is the "Shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16 calling the wise and foolish virgin out from every existing church into the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation (Revelation 18:4; Ephesians 4:13; I Corinthians 15:46-57).
Verses 14-30: The Lord has entrusted us each with a measure of faith, which we must exercise and invest that it may serve "for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in 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 4:12-13). Those who do not apply faith to their lives will be cast into the tribulation.
Verses 31-46: The non-elect, just and unjust, will be raised after the Millennium and judged. The foolish virgin, Fifth Seal Israelites, those who died before the age of accountability, those who have been good and kind to the Bride, and those who preferred martyrdom to the mark of the beast will be granted into eternal Life. All, whose names have been removed from the Book of Life, or like Cain, were ever in the Book, will be cast into the lake of Fire, which is the second death.
In Luke 17:28 the Lord promised a repetition of the besetting sin of the days of Lot in the days of the second or 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man. Homosexuality is rampant and condoned by authorities.
Verse 29: The consummation of life will be by fire this time, as it was in the days of Lot.
Verse 30: In the days of Lot God veiled Himself behind the flesh of a created man and revealed Himself as the Logos by discerning the thoughts and intents of Abraham and Sarah's hearts (Genesis 18; Hebrews 4:12); the same sign identified Him veiled behind virgin-born flesh, and revealed "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever" veiled behind William Branham, a sinner saved by grace.
In the days of Lot two created men went into Sodom to deliver a Message of salvation, but the Angel of the Lord with the Messianic sign remained with Abraham's elect group, separated from sin. Today, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts have preached to the churches in Sodom, whereas Brother Branham with the Messianic sign remained with Abraham's elect and called out little group separated from sin and worldliness.
Verses 30-34: "When the Son of Man is revealed to you, if you are on the housetop and your stuff in the house, do not come down to take it away: and if you are in the field, likewise do not return back. Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. In that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. And they answered and said, Where to, Lord? And He said, Wherever the Body is, there the eagles will be gathered together." Should you hear His voice by revelation, act upon it while it is "today" (Hebrews 4:7-11).
This speaks of the Seventh Seal which will not be known to the public, for the 'rapture' is a revelation that has been in process since 1963; the Body spoken of is Christ the Word, which is where God's elect 'eagles' gather once they receive the revelation (Revelation 18:4). nl712.htm
