Bible Believers' Newsletter 1277
"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; we appreciate your fellowship around God's unchanging Word. Satan is "the prince of the power of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience; (very soon) the seventh angel will pour out his Vial into the air that sustains life; and a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the Throne, will say, It is done . . . the plagues of the seven angels have been poured out".
The thugs who rule the world want to control your mind. Your one way out is a clear understanding of "the present Truth�what Jesus is doing NOW." God loves you for believing His Word. "Without faith it is impossible to please God." Our main article, "The Ordeal of Jealousy" explains the love and responsibilities of a natural man and his wife, and the mutual commitment between Jesus Christ and His Wife. It explains how Christ has called His elect in each dispensation, and how He has separated us from the foolish virgins and the unbelievers. It also touches upon the plagues of the last seven Vials and the Seven Trumpets that will manifest throughout the great tribulation of Daniel's Seventieth Week after our Lord Jesus Christ, like Joseph, hides us in the Palace.
Our current news explain how Cain's blood thirsty people who are "at enmity" with Adam's race rule the world by the Moneypower to achieve their objectives, so it is essential that you read these items because mainstream news is largely the lying propaganda of spin to disorient, deceive and control you from understanding the promises of God's unchanging Word. "Everywhere you look you behold a pale horse: the name of his rider is Death, and Hell follows with him. And power is given them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." I suggest the "fourth part of the earth" indicates the completeness of earthly creation over which Rome's devil-incarnate last pope will rule during the great tribulation under the manifestation of the Seven Trumpets and the Seven Vials as they smite His creation en route to Armageddon and the consummation (Revelation 11:19; 13:4-18).
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.Your brother-in-Christ

Sign in the Sky
"As it was in the days of Noah . . . likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom so shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed" (Luke 17:28-30).
"An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah" (Matthew 12:39).
". . . yet forty days, and Ninevah shall be overthrown" (Jonah 3:4).
The total eclipse on April 8 this year will pass through Jonah, Texas, Rapture, Indiana, and five more towns named Ninevah, legendary third century BC king of Assyria and founder of the Babylonian city Nineveh, married to Semiramis. This takes place under the constellation Cetus, which is the sea monster or whale. The eclipse will also pass over a life size reproduction of Noah's Ark in Williamstown, Kentucky. Forty days after the eclipse will be May 18, the eve of Pentecost, Sunday, May 19, 2024. Full story: sapphirethroneministries.wordpress.com
They're Experimenting with Military Robots in Gaza
March 4, 2024 � Haaretz has a new article out titled "Gaza Becomes Israel's Testing Ground for Military Robots," which reports that "In an effort to avoid harming soldiers and dogs, the IDF has been experimenting with the use of robots and remote-controlled dogs in the Gaza War."
The article's author Sagi Cohen reports that drone-mounted robot dogs and remotely controlled bulldozers are two of the new apocalyptic horrors currently being battle-tested in Gaza, saying "defense establishment officials confirm that there has been a leap in the use and sophistication of robots on the battlefield." Which is a pretty disconcerting sentence to read . . . Full story: caitlinjohnst.one/p youtu.be
Comment: II Timothy 6:10, "the love of money, usury, is the root of all evil." The Empire of non-Semitic Jewry's City of London that rules the world is leading the nations to World War III between Talmudic Jewry and Islam while weakening the US and NATO in the objecive of re-conquering and re-communizing Russia. However following the invasion of mainland USA the EU will ally Russia, which will destroy Vatican City State then ruling world government. Armageddon will take care of the rest.
It seems that the Israelis were preparing the world for a 9/11 style attack since the early 1970's. According to investigative journalist Christopher Bollyn, "9/11 and the War on Terror are linked plots that were designed to trick us into accepting the open-ended wars we have been engaged in since September 2001" and that "both plots were hatched by Israeli military intelligence to bring the US military into the Middle East to wage war against the enemies of the Zionist state."
Three events: Israeli spy and former arms dealer Arnon Milchan's 1978 movie, "The Medusa Touch," of a Boeing 747 flown into the Pan Am building in New York City"; Isser Harel, chief of the Israeli intelligence agency Shin Bet predicted in 1979 that Arabs would attack the tallest building in New York. And in July 1979, Menachem Begin, former chief of the terrorist Irgun who became prime minister in 1977, organized a conference on "international terrorism" in Jerusalem that was described as a "propaganda offensive" meant to initiate a global war on terror. President George H. W. Bush was one of the speakers.
In his 1995 book, "Fighting Terrorism" Benjamin Netanyahu wrote, "If the West doesn't wake-up to the suicidal nature of militant Islam, the next thing you will see is that militant Islam is bringing down the World Trade Center." Indicate that Israeli planning for 9/11 and the War on Terror began when the notorious terrorist Menachem Begin came to power in 1977. Begin had been involved in terror atrocities in Palestine in the 1940s as the leader of the Irgun. He had organized the bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946 and the massacre of the entire village of Deir Yassin in 1948.
28 movies with an Israeli connection, released between 1983 and 1998, that vilify Arabs and often feature Palestinians as terrorists. More than half were filmed in Israel and, if the Israeli government didn't finance the production, it assisted in various ways" . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca
End of Gaza. Israel's Genocide Proceeding According to Plan
March 1, 2024 � Of course Egypt was lying about creating a camp for 60,000 refugees only. That particular camp will hold 100,000 or more, and a gulag of camps is being built to hold a total of perhaps up to 2 million. The fix is in. Netanyahu and Biden will bathe in rivers of blood. (Non-Semitic) Netanyahu will be triumphant even if he is reviled internationally. By his own people, he will be lauded for "doing what needed to be done" and to hell with the rest of the world, who are all anti-Semites, anyway. Will Biden be so reviled that he won't run for a second term? I suspect that this has already been part of the script for weeks or months, perhaps longer. He will be tainted so that his successor will not be. And who will that be? Hillary Clinton, of course, she and her Democrats will try to so handicap Trump, legally and otherwise, that she will win. But she underestimates the revulsion that the American public bears for her. I think she will fail again, unless Trump meets a violent end, and perhaps not even then. Full story: globalresearch.ca
Comment: Nuland was "indispensable" in leading the drive to confront Putin just as she played a critical role in "marshaling a global coalition" to prosecute a proxy war on Russia. And, what this statement tells us is that Nuland was one of the main architects of the ongoing conflict, which means she is largely responsible for the widening chasm between the NATO leaders, the mounting carnage on the battlefield, and America's strategic defeat to its primary geopolitical rival, Russia. In short, no other government official is more responsible for the Ukrainian quagmire than Victoria Nuland" (globalresearch.ca).
In the Flour Massacre on February 29 Israel used aid trucks to lure, murder and injure almost 900 hungry civilians. The blood of the starving, young and old, man and woman, drenched the flour sacks meant to feed hungry children (globalresearch.ca).
Israel now not only is intensifying its bombing of Rafah and the South but it is rapidly carving a one mile-wide super corridor highway straight through the heart of Gaza, from West to East, to split Gaza into two more militarily-controllable sectors. It doesn't care what the UN's international Criminal Court or its Court of Justice may ever say about Israel and the United States intentions. Both are impervious to rationality. Both know they have the US veto in the bag to block everything. To prepare for its next carpet bombing campaign, Zionists will be using the same 2,000lb bombs the Americans used in Vietnam with the same devastating effect; countries like Canada, continue to find bureaucratic loopholes to ship military war hardware and blood monies of taxpayers to Israel via US. So the world is faced with . . . utter extermination of Palestinians, or . . . nuclear calamity at some point in time (globalresearch.ca).
Christians know when that "point in time" will be, and they know the destination.
Putin's Warning to Western Leadership: 'War is not a Cartoon'
March 4, 2024 � Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a speech to the Federal Assembly in Moscow and warned Western nations of attempting to start a war with Russia. Putin said that: "The West has provoked conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East, and other regions around the world while consistently propagating falsehoods. Now they have the audacity to say that Russia harbours intentions of attacking Europe. Can you believe it? Then he spoke about what Western powers are attempting to do when Ukraine loses the war, "and at the same time, they are selecting targets to strike on our territory and contemplating the most efficient means of destruction. Now they have started talking about the possibility of deploying NATO military contingents to Ukraine." . . . Everything they are inventing now, spooking the world with the threat of a conflict involving nuclear weapons, which potentially means the end of civilization�don't they realize this? . . . Putin is correct Full story: globalresearch.ca
Why did Wall Street Journal suddenly share Terms of Spring 2022's Draft Peace Treaty
March 6, 2024 � WSJ claimed to have viewed 17-page draft Russian-Ukrainian peace treaty from spring 2022 sabotaged by former British Prime Minister Johnson . . . WSJ (owned by Jew Rupert Murdoch) dishonestly described the terms as "punishing" even though they can objectively be described as overly generous . . . Had these terms been accepted, then not only would Ukraine have averted destruction and the depopulation that came with it, but this former Soviet Republic could have then served as a bridge between China and the EU (which it would be allowed to join) exactly as Russia always envisaged. Even if Russian-NATO talks didn't resume afterwards, their security dilemma that was exacerbated by the bloc's clandestine expansion into Ukraine would have been much better managed to everyone's benefit . . .

Comment: Weaponized Migration�coordinated effort playing out deep in Panama Jungle. Last year, a record 500,000 migrants traveled through the Dari�n Gap (thanks to sleepy Joe Biden and George Soros) . . . illegal immigrant encounters at US borders in fiscal 2022 totaled more than 2.7 million nationwide, according to CBP (zerohedge.com).
Scholz's Slip of the Tongue Spilled the Beans on Ukraine's Worst-Kept Secret
March 1, 2024 � President Putin famously said the following on 24 February 2022 about those who'd like to interfere with the special operation: "No matter who tries to stand in our way or all the more so create threats for our country and our people, they must know that Russia will respond immediately, and the consequences will be such as you have never seen in your entire history. No matter how the events unfold, we are ready. All the necessary decisions in this regard have been taken. I hope that my words will be heard" . . .
The worst-kept secret of this proxy war is that it's already a hot NATO-Russian war but an undeclared and limited one . . . Although British, French, and presumably also US and other Western troops�some of whom are deployed there as "mercenaries"�help Ukraine strike Russia, their target has refrained from retaliating inside of NATO . . . Russia hasn't signaled any intent to test Article 5. This in turn discredits claims that Russia harbors aggressive intentions against NATO since it won't even publicly countenance the aforesaid scenario in self-defense despite NATO troops in Ukraine being responsible for killing its own troops and even its civilians . . . These informal "rules of engagement" keep their undeclared hot war a limited one, though World War III can always break out accidentally, hence the need to freeze this conflict pronto in order to reduce that risk.

New York Times' Expos� details Expansion of CIA Secret War in Ukraine over a Decade Ago
March 3, 2024 � The US "has nurtured a secret intelligence partnership" with Ukraine "for more than a decade", and it "has transformed Ukraine" into "one of Washington's most important intelligence partners against the Kremlin" . . . Russia's military campaign in Ukraine (launched in 2022), whether one agrees with it or not, "is also not without context, which includes a litany of grievances that, however unjustified from the perspective of the West, constitute what the Kremlin saw as sufficient provocation." Many have written on the important topic of NATO enlargement, which is all about the militarization of Europe and the encirclement of Russia. It is about time to talk about CIA enlargement�which in turn is all about assassinations, clandestine and covert actions and paramilitary activity. The CIA role in the Ukrainian crisis is yet another thus far untold part of the story of post-Soviet Eastern Europe. Full story: globalresearch.ca
Comment: The "Agreement on security cooperation" between Italy and Ukraine, which Italian Prime Minister Meloni and President Zelensky signed in Kiev, is not a formal declaration, but a real military pact that makes Italy a belligerent country in the war against Russia. The pact commits Italy to supply more armaments to Kiev and to train its troops according to NATO operational procedures. Not only this. The pact states that "In the event of a future Russian armed attack against Ukraine, Italy and Ukraine will consult within 24 hours to determine the measures necessary to counter the aggression and Italy will provide Ukraine with rapid defence support" (globalresearch.ca).
Military Escalation: UK brags about Direct Involvement in Attacking Russian Navy Ships
March 2, 2024 � The unfortunate dismantling of the Soviet Union put an end to this, especially after neocons and Atlanticists took power in Washington DC. However, of all US allies, vassals and satellite states, there's one that makes even such endemically Russophobic countries like Poland or the Baltic states seem "moderate enough"�the United Kingdom. London's Russophobia is so deeply ingrained in its geopolitical strategy, even when it was officially allied to Moscow, both during the Napoleonic and World Wars. The escalation of the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict exposed this hatred to the fullest, as the UK was among the first to insist on a broader confrontation with Russia . . . In the latest revelations about the UK's involvement in helping the Neo-Nazi junta, the Times essentially praised the British military's contribution to the destruction of Russian naval assets. According to the report, the UK's General Staff, headed by Admiral Tony Radakin, directly took part in planning and executing attacks on the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Radakin also seems to have been involved in other covert operations in Ukraine, all aimed at diminishing Russian capabilities . . . For some inexplicable reason, London believes that Moscow will leave such unashamedly hostile actions unanswered. Responsibility and patience may be the bedrock of Russian foreign policy, but that certainly doesn't mean that the Eurasian giant will follow these principles even when it becomes ultimately self-defeating to do so.

The Power behind the Throne and the Bankers' Forever Wars
March 4, 2024 � Last week, former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss gave us a stonker of a revelation which, I believe deserves to be set to the record. Truss appeared in Steve Bannon's War Room and said this: "What I found out when I got into No. 10 is, I thought that if I got to the top of the tree, I would be able to implement those conservative policies . . . And what I discovered was that I was not holding the levers. The levers were held by the Bank of England, by the Office of Budget Responsibility, they weren't held by the Prime Minister or the Chancellor . . ." Truss goes on to point out the obvious problem with this: you can sack the Prime Minister, but you can't sack the BOE officials who hold the levers of power. Around the same time of this revelation, Glenn Beck dropped a similar clue. In his interview with Tucker Carlson published on 21 February 2024 he shared a story of his encounter with George W. Bush: I thought of something George Bush told me in the Oval Office. I was asking about the policies and how they were going to change, and he said, "Glenn, don't worry, whoever sits behind this desk, in that chair, is going to have the same advice given by the same advisors and they'll realize, the President's hands are tied." I walked out of that room horrified . . . Why do we even have elections?"
What G. W. Bush had revealed to Beck and what Liz Truss discovered when she got to the top of the tree, has been the defining feature behind our "democracies" for a very long time. Former British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli said in 1844 that, "The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." Sir William Pitt, Prime Minister in 1770 said that, "There is something behind the throne greater than the King himself." The Power 'Behind the Throne' is the bankers.
In untangling the causal factors behind the many crises we face today, the trail of breadcrumbs always leads to the international banking cartel which appears to have the determining influence shaping the system of governance under which our societies operate. This network likely constitutes the very "monolithic and ruthless conspiracy" that President John F. Kennedy had warned us about.
As a famous member of that cartel proclaimed, "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws!" At the money power's receiving end, Napoleon Bonaparte understood that relationship all too well: "When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation." This, it would seem, is how it is today . . .
Today we know, for example, that Adolf Hitler and his National Socialists were cultivated and lavishly funded by prominent Wall Street bankers (including George W. Bush's grampa Prescott Bush) and that the multinational corporations they controlled provided the technology and assistance for Germany's rearmament. The shadow operator steering the course of events was Bank of England's Montagu Norman who was the best friend and confidant of his German counterpart Hjalmar Schacht. Few of those details have made it into our history curriculum, but the whole point of militarizing and (Judaeo-)Nazifying Germany was to invade and subjugate Russia. In 1935, [Nigeria's b�te noire], Lord Lothian assured a delegation of visiting ministers from Germany that, "they would cut through Russia as through butter" . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca
Comment: Jewry has been fighting to conquer Russia for well over a thousand years. They were victorious in 1915 and introduced Judaeo-Communism which was eventually rejected. As we have been teaching, Jewry conquered England in 1688 and established the private Bank of England in 1694, since when they have ruled England from the sovereign state of the City of London, which today rules most nations on earth.
Why did [Eugenicist] Gates and the Pentagon release 'Gene Edited' (GMO) Mosquitoes in Florida Keys?
March 1, 2024 � Entomological warfare is a type of biological warfare that uses insects to transmit diseases. The Pentagon, using DARPA research, has allegedly performed such entomological tests secretly in the Republic of Georgia and Russia. Is the DARPA development, together with Gates' foundation and Oxitec, of the gene edited mosquitoes a covert program in entomological warfare?
The Pentagon presently has top security bio laboratories in 25 countries across the world funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) under a $ 2.1 billion military program�Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP). They are in former Soviet Union countries such as Georgia and Ukraine, the Middle East, South East Asia and Africa. Among their projects, Phlebotomine sand fly species were collected under the heading, "Surveillance Work on Acute Febrile Illness," in which all (female) sand flies were tested to determine their infectivity rate. A third project, also including sand flies collection, studied characteristics of their salivary glands. This is weaponization research.
The controversial person picked by the Biden Administration to become the first Cabinet-level science advisor, Eric Lander, came from the MIT-Harvard Broad Institute. Lander is a specialist in gene drive and gene editing technologies and played a major role in the flawed US Human Genome Project. This is not the kind of science we need to be supporting. It is obviously a larger eugenics agenda and Bill Gates is again playing a key role. Full story: globalresearch.ca

The Ordeal of Jealousy
A betrothal is a marriage and everyone who professes Christianity claims to be Christ's Bride and at one with His Word. Marriage is a binding contract. God is only as good as His Word, and he expects us to honour our Word.
When a man proposes marriage to a woman and she says 'yes' they are married at that point. As Christians they will not consummate the marriage until they have asked Christ's blessing celebrated by the witness of family and friends, and having met the requirements of state. But the moment she accepts his proposal the two are married. Should she change her mind and marry another, she shall be called an adulteress since no woman may have more than one living husband (Romans 7:1-3).
A woman serves God as she obeys her husband. If we claim to be the wife of Christ He expects us to obey His every Word (Genesis 3:16; Ephesians 5:4; I Peter 3:6). As the husband is head of his wife and takes her responsibility upon his shoulder so Christ the Word is head of the Church, and we obey Him in everything.
The spirit of jealousy enters when a covenant has been agreed and corruption and secret unfaithfulness is suspected. 'Suspicion' is the death blow to all loving intimacy. In the Old Testament, when a man was suspicious of his wife but unable to produce witnesses as required by the Law (Numbers 35:30; Deuteronomy 19:15), or other evidence of her guilt, there was a trial of jealousy.
Numbers 5:11-14: "The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, If any man's wife go aside and commits a trespass against him and a man lies with her carnally and it is hid from the eyes of her husband, and kept close, and she is defiled, and there are no witnesses against her, neither is she taken with the manner; [if she was taken in the act, the penalty for adultery was death (Leviticus 20:10)]. And the spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is not defiled".
If a man is jealous of his wife, he warns her before two or three witnesses, "speak not with so and so." This types Christ and the church through the Gentile Dispensation. In each age there was an elect Spiritual Bride-Church, non-elect foolish virgin, and the false church. The Lord had to distinguish the foolish virgin from the false church. "And there are three witnesses in heaven�the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and these three agree in one [new birth]" (I John 5:7-8).
You see all three groups in church circles claim to be born-again or married to Christ, but all three steps of grace are required to produce a child of God. Justification by grace through faith and water baptism by immersion in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, sanctification by the blood, then the baptism of the Holy Ghost transforms your life into a "written epistle" of God's Word for your day; only "the present Truth" of God's Word can quicken your soul to birth which is your invisible union in spiritual wedlock.
These great truths were lost through Roman Catholic persecution over almost 1,000 years of Dark Ages, but gradually restored in the Reformation of the Roman Catholic system of worship through the three witnesses of Revelation 14:6-10. "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come: and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." Martin Luther preached the Message of justification by grace through faith.
"And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." This was John Wesley's Message of sanctification. "And the third angel followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb." This was William Branham warning the saints to come out of Babylon, flee the mark of the beast and be filled with the Spirit.
If she spoke with another�a little flirt with the world, denomination, some TV here, a tasteless joke there, she may still consort with her husband, Christ the priest, and partake the heave offering�His holy portion, the revelation of the Word of the hour. She is not disfellowshipped.
But if she secretly went aside with the other man, remaining time enough to suffer defilement, she may neither consort with her husband nor partake of the heave-offering. She may have received strange seed for denominational life�not Christ the Original Seed.
The husband may make her drink the Vial on the evidence of one witness, or on his own evidence. If she admits uncleanliness, she is put away. If she declares she is clean, she is taken to the eastern gate where the priest lays hold on her garments and loosens her hair prior to shaving, for any to behold she is shamed (I Corinthians 11:14). And today, since the revelation of the Seven Seals, the denominational religious covering of creed and tradition has been rent; those beneath it are naked before the One with whom they must deal and will be made to partake of Rome's plagues unless they come out of that iniquity (Malachi 4:5-6; Acts 3:21-23; Revelation 18:4, 6).
Let's read Revelation 3:17-19 which describes the spiritual condition of the church of the world today. "Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing"; [no repentance�no admission of uncleanliness]; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel you to 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 eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent".
This is checking-up time! Laodicea was weighed in the balance and found wanting. Beware the king of the North. We live in the days of the final investigation judgment of those who are not in the rapture yet claim they are Christ's.
This investigation judgment or trial is to separate the foolish virgin from the 'flirters' or denominational harlots. The foolish virgin will enter the great tribulation and be martyred by the false church; thereafter God will grant them into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment whereas the false church will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 2:20-23; 14:9-13; 19:20).
Since Elohim descended in the Form of the Logos or Fullness of the Word in I Thessalonians 4:14-16 and Revelation 10:1-7, (Gk.) 'chronos' "time is no more"; there can be no more delay to mediate for ignorance of the fullness of the Word (I Corinthians 13:10). This has to be the final trial. Those who refuse the Fullness of the Word as their Atonement, or fail to come under pre-eminence to the Fullness, not being Bride, will drink the Vial. Those who fail the ordeal will have their names removed from the Book of Life.
We have seen seven Church Ages, each with its Message which was the Gospel of their salvation whereby Christ sought to make love to she who called herself His wife. But in every Age the non-elect failed to consummate their marriage vow in union with the Word for their day, and as Ahasuerus put Queen Vashti away, Christ put them away and opened another dispensation. Moses charged God's people with the blessings of His Love at Mount Ebal and Mount Gerazim�but His rejected love became their curse; thus God's grace in the Messages of the seven angels when rejected by the Church became a curse in the Vials (Deuteronomy 27; Revelation 1-3; 15-16).
"The pure river of water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb" in Revelation 22:1 and 17 is freely given without money and without price to "whosoever will" but it becomes the curse of Revelation 22:14-15 and 18-19 . . . for "the letter without the Spirit kills".
Perhaps the foolish virgins who had insufficient Oil of the Spirit to quicken their souls to new birth never encountered the Word for their day as their pastor was born-again in Laodicea and lacked a revelation of the present Truth. Or perhaps they were dilatory, neglected to prove all things, content for their pastor to 'do their religion for them' and received a second hand religion by the letter without the Spirit. According to Matthew 25, this portion of the church will be cast into the tribulation with the unfaithful unbelieving false church, and having neglected to rightly divide the pure waters of Life must drink the curse of the Vial.
Let's see what happened to the natural woman under the Law:
Numbers 5:15-17, "Then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance." Placed in her hands as a tithe of one day's portion it signified her life or character: no oil or frankincense�Holy Spirit and prayer�were added thereto.
"Then the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord: and he shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle, and put it into the water".
Dust from the ashes of the blood and offerings gathered from the floor where only the holy walk of the priests had trod was mixed with water from the laver in which they washed their hands and feet before ministering before the Lord make the water holy�a waters of separation and of judgment (Ephesians 5:26).
In the New Testament, when a Seal opens, a mystery unfolds. The angel to the Church catches the mystery of God and delivers the revelation. His Gospel Trumpet starts a spiritual war in the Church and sounds a Trumpet of natural war upon Israel who rejected it. God then takes His Messenger with the elect of that Age, lays them away asleep and pours a plague (or Vial)�a temporary judgment upon those who rejected the Message and a Church Age opens.
Let us turn to the scripture. Revelation 16:19, "And the great city [Jerusalem] was divided into three parts [as it will be when UN Resolution 181 of November 29, 1947 is enforced]. And the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon [Vatican City State] came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup [or Vial] of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath." This is the Seventh Vial (Revelation 16:17 � 18:20).
Revelation 18:4-9, "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, [Babylon, and her denominational daughter churches] My people, that you do not partake of her sins, and receive not of her plagues [the Vials]. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. [See what kind of character she brought in her hand]. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double to her double according to her works: in the cup which she has filled, fill to her double (Revelation 17:1). How much she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues [Vials] come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judges her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously, with her shall bewail her and lament for her when they see the smoke of her burning".
At every change of Dispensation when men opposed themselves as have the Jews, God made them to drink the Vial, and their blood was upon their own heads (Matthew 27:25; Acts 18:6; Hebrews 10:28-29; Revelation 6:10-11). If they are guilty, their names are removed from the Book of Life and they are eternally separated from God�dead to Him as an adulterous woman who was stoned in the Old Testament was dead to her husband.
So the Vials contain God's Word in condemnation of the unfaithfulness of churches and individuals that have disdained the blessings of obedience to the Message of the angel to their Age.
Numbers 5:21-24, 28 "Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and say, The Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people when He makes your thigh [or generative parts] to rot, and your belly [womb] to swell; and this water that causes the curse shall go into your bowels, to make your belly to swell, and your thigh to rot: and the woman shall say, Amen, amen. And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water [into the bowl or vial]."
The water and the Word become one, so when the woman drinks she becomes one with the curse which declares her innocence or guilt. As in Revelation 10:8-11 the Bride becomes one with the Revelation, and the rapture is a revelation. In partaking the elements of the Lord's Supper we signify that we are one with His Word and Spirit. "And the Voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again, and said, Go and take the little Book which is open in the left hand of the Angel Who stands upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went to the Angel, and said, give me the little Book. And He said, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make your belly bitter, but it shall be in your mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little Book out of the Angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. And He told me, You must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings," causing the church world of souls imprisoned now to drink the curse that separates the righteous non-elect from the FALSE church, and the make-believer from the unbeliever. Brother Branham called the latter "the total lost".
Now perhaps you will understand what Brother Branham meant when he quoted Paul, "For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man turn back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him" (Hebrews 10:38-39). The mere association of kind-hearted people with the true believer might well bring death in return for their kindness." For should they reject the Message their name might be removed from the Book of Life (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 116).
Returning to Numbers, "He shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causes the curse: and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter [to bring guilt to Light]. And if the woman is not defiled but clean then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed".
The trial or Ordeal of Jealousy is a test for innocence or guilt. This is how God distinguished the 'saved foolish virgin' from the lost false church at the end of each Age and 'temporarily' judged the false church.
Dressed as judges, each of the seven Church Age messengers bears a bowl or Vial full of the wrath of God to pour upon those who have not fully received or have rejected the revelation or grace in the Message to their day yet claimed kinship in the Body. These non-elect are the Foolish virgin and false church which Jesus called "the synagogue of Satan" (Revelation 2:9; 3:9; 22:18-19).
"And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand beside the sea of glass, having the harps of God".
The "sea of glass" is the brazen laver made in the wilderness from the looking glasses of the Israelite women. Here the priests washed their hands and feet before ministering before the Presence. In Revelation 4:6 the water was "crystal clear," as the Church Age saints were "washed" or redeemed in the intercessory days of Christ. Laodicea and Christ's Mediation was over; Christ's end time Bride were fully redeemed on Calvary, justified by the faith He knew we would have (Romans 8:28-30). In Revelation 15 there is no longer blood on the altar, the Bride has been translated, and the laver is full of the holy Fire of God's judgment without mercy by the unbending Rod of Revelation 11:1.
After God delivered Israel through the Red Sea Moses led them in song, glorifying Him. Now the 144,000 being delivered from spiritual bondage worship in song led by the Holy Spirit glorifying Jesus. And as the sea swallowed and destroyed the armies of Pharaoh, God will repel the armies of Rome and her allies who will come to destroy all God-fearing, Word-abiding Israelites. With the enemy repulsed, Jesus comes and presents Himself by revelation to the 144,000. This will be His second or 'parousia' Coming to Israel in the prophetic office Son of Man. But until the millennium His Kingdom will be spiritual.
Here the 144,000 of Revelation 7:1-8 are washing their robes. "And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are Your works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are Your ways, You King of nations." The 144,000 now have the revelation Jesus Christ is their King and like Solomon, His Bride their Queen is from all nations as Caiaphas unintentionally prophesied (John 11:49-52). "Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your Name? For You only are holy: for all nations shall come and worship before You; for Your judgments are made manifest".
144,000 have been born-again as a nation in one day understanding and acknowledging His justice in the judgments that chastened unbelieving Israel over two thousand years. Now they see the innocent Blood of Christ on the hands of their guilty forefathers Israel's transgression is finished, their sins have come to an end, and they are making reconciliation for iniquity in martyrdom (Daniel 9:24; Matthew 23:33-36; 27:25).
Following the assurance in the parenthesis Revelation 15:2-4, the remaining verses introduce an entirely fresh subject reading from the vision of the first verse where seven angels are seen in judgment, signified by the golden girdles about their breasts. "After [this consolation] I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of witness [or central sanctuary with its Holy Place and Holy of Holies] in the heaven was opened: and seven angels clothed in linen pure and glistening white and having their breasts girt with golden girdles came out from the temple having the seven plagues".
In Revelation 14 and 15 we see 144,000 elect Israelites, their faith in Christ and His second unseen 'parousia' coming, their rebirth and matryrdom (Revelation 6:9-11; 14:12-13). Also the martyrdom of non-elect Gentiles (Revelation 13:10). In chapter 16 the 'temporary judgment' becomes final in the horror of the Vials that finish the wrath of God at Armageddon and the consummation.
Let's consider Revelation 15, remembering that throughout the Book John represents Christ's end-time Bride who will not see death. Here we see a symbolic vision wherein 144,000 elect Israelites recognize that God's judgments upon unbelieving Israel over the centuries were righteous (Matthew 23:33-39; 27:25). As Christians they unite in the faith of their ancient brothers who inaugurated Christ's Bride, many of whom were martyred (Revelation 15:2-4; 12:1-4). "And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them God's fierce indignation is finished".
"The temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of His Covenant was seen in His temple: there were lightings, and voices, and thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail" at the manifestation of the Sixth Seal (Revelation 6:12-17), the Seventh Trumpet (Revelation 11:15-19) and Seventh Vial (Revelation 16:17-21) marking earth as God's judgment seat, (Gk.) 'chronos' time is over (Revelation 8:5). Jesus' unseen second Coming to Israel will be in W_O_R_D form through the lips of Moses and Elijah in the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week. These scriptures prophesy a "great earthquake such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great," sinking a 1,500 X 300 to 400 mile segment of earth's crust, Los Angeles and parts of Southern California sending tsunamis across the world. Surface gravity waves are formed as the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity and radiate across the ocean: tsunamis are powered by a geological force moving the entire water column from surface to seafloor. I expect these waves will devastate the east coast of Australia and that the Pacific Ring of Fire will erupt.
Despite these geophysical manifestations Israel will not catch the vision until the second half of Daniel's seventieth week. Once the Gentile dispensation is over the vail of Jewish tradition will be rent and the New Testament vision of Revelation 11:19 will show the sanctuary where only priests could lawfully go, and the Holy of Holies where only the high priest could enter, once a year on the Day of Atonement to cleanse the sanctuary of the previous year's sins is now open for "whoever will." The Ark of God's Covenant will signify God's favour toward and Presence with Israel: seen as the shadow and type of King Messiah, their Kinsman Redeemer with nail scars in His hands and wounds on His brow as He presents by revelation to the 144,000 before physical relations as Man in the millennium "Son of David, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and Husband of the Gentile Bride" (Zechariah 12-13).
"And there came [William Branham], one of the seven angels which had the Seven Vials, and talked with. . . [your name] . . . saying come here; and I will show you the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters"�the Judaeo-Catholic church ruling one world government under a Devil incarnate last pope.
A woman in the Bible signifies means a "church." Adam named his wife Eve, because she was "the mother of all living," however her husband Adam did not father her bastard son Cain. Likewise the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church mother of all Christians and the second Eve and thus the great "whore".
God always sends a prophet with warning and a way of escape before judgment (Amos 3:6-7). Revelation 18:4, "And I heard another Voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues" [Vials].
The Temple of God in heaven must not be understood as literal but for what it represents. The Seven Vials were poured out like the blessings, corrections and curses of the angel to each Church Age, for God's Word will not return to Him void but will accomplish that which He purposed. So in Revelation 11:18 we find, "The nations were enraged, and Your wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should give their reward to Your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and those who fear Your Name, the small and the great; and should destroy them who destroy the earth".
Lord Jesus Christ our Creator and sustainer (Colossians 1:15-17; Hebrews 1:3; Revelation 3:14) created a perfect universe of life in Genesis 1 and 2 however over six thousand sinful years man has destroyed God's creation. Now all life is incurably sick and the world is falling apart. As the Seven Vials are poured out, God is allowing them to destroy His creation, culminating in Armageddon and the consummation of life. Thereafter earth will be purged by flames that will leap thousands of miles into space before our Lord Jesus Christ and His elect step out on the atomic ashes of the wicked for a thousand years of peace (Malachi 4:1-3).
From the manifestation of the Sixth Seal, Seventh Trump, and Seven Vials and the translation of Christ's end-time Bride earth will become a judgment seat and Satan will be cast down to earth, and as God put away His adulterous wife Israel whose elect will henceforth be our attendants, He has put away the Great whore and her denominational harlot daughter churches. When the Seventh Trump and earthquakes break the silence of Revelation 8:1 "And the Angel will take the censer, fill it with fire of the altar, and cast its coals into the earth: and there will be voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great" (Revelation 6:12; 8:5; 11:15-19; 16:18).
"And one of the four living creatures gave unto the seven angels seven golden Vials full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever. And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled" (Revelation 15:7-8).
The smoke in the heavenly temple is not incense but the divine Fire of consuming judgment because in every Age the sacrifice was rejected, and Christ could only intercede for our offering of the Word of the hour. The revelation comes to Christ's end-time Bride and to the 144,000 after the Sacrifice has left and intercession is over. The presence of Christ's end-time Bride makes earth God's mercy seat for the Life is in the Blood and we are the Blood of Christ by the baptism with the Holy Spirit so when we depart earth will become God's judgment seat for seven years of tribulation (II Thessalonians 2:6-8). Smoke displays the glory of God, His justice in punishing the wicked, and is the answer to the cry of the souls under the altar (Revelation 6:9-11).
Since the Church is one Body, no man can enter the Temple until California sinks under the Seventh Trumpet, Sixth Seal and Seventh Vial. Then the two loaves are waved and glorified for the Church Age saints cannot be made perfect without us.
Glory! Home we go to be with Jesus. Proving the Bride does not go through the Tribulation.
When Moses dedicated the Tabernacle of badger skins (Exodus 40:33-38), and when Solomon dedicated the Temple of stone (I Kings 8:1-11), the priests were not able to minister until the cloud was taken up. And the Israelites journeyed not until the cloud was taken up. During the Church Ages, when the first six Trumpets were manifesting, Israel could not enter the Presence. But once "the great Cloud of witnesses" is lifted (II Thessalonians 2:7; Revelation 7:2) in the physical catching away of the Bride, the Feast of Trumpets will be preached to Israel who will commence their journey to the West.nl1277.htm
