Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; we are pleased you could join us in fellowship around God's unchanging Word. You MUST diligently read the Full story: of EVERY News article and the links in our important main article.
Recently we posted a letter to 250 churches, receiving one written response requesting no further communication, one 'phone call from an inactive number, and a second requesting no further communication. The bones of our letter emphasized:
Matthew 28:18-19 is a command of our Lord Jesus Christ that cannot be taken literally. There is no Scripture where anyone at any time was baptized in the titles "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" . . . It is beyond dispute that the Name (singular) of the Offices or Titles Father (John 5:43), Son (John 4:10-12), and Holy Ghost (John 14:26) is Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:21-25; Mark 16:16-17; Luke 24:47; Acts 2:37-39; 8:12, 16; 10:48; 19:4-5; 22:16) . . . Bearing in mind II Peter 1:12 and I John 1:7, I firmly believe we should seriously study Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 17:11; Revelation 10:7; 18:1 and 22:18-19 immediately.
This is verbatim Bible neither followed nor believed by the pastors of 250 churches, Catholic and Protestant. This rejection is a sign of the nearness to the close of the Gentile dispensation and our going typed by Joseph dismissing his Gentile wife and children to the Palace before he could reveal himself to his Israelite brethren.
Hebrews 10:32-38, "Call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions; partly, whilst you were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them that were so used. For you had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense of reward. For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise. 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 drawback, my soul shall have no pleasure in him."
Brother Branham said, "The mere association of kindhearted people with the true believer might well bring death in return for their kindness" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 116). The reason being Titus 3:9-11, "But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the Law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man who is a heretic after the first and second admonition reject; knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself".
The callous, bloodthirsty actions of non-Semitic PM Benjamin Netanyahu whose desperation is to avoid imprisonment for his crimes and the evil of his non-Semitic Israeli supporters will ensure the conquest of Israel and their mass exodus following the earthquake that will dissolve the fear and caution in Muslim hearts. It will not be long now. Even President Biden is demanding Israel cease her dastardly slaughter of Semitic Palestinians.
The Pope will shortly intervene; after all he will soon be ruling the world from Jerusalem and he will unite christian denominations with Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and all manner of religions when he restores peace so that before our translation we will become a hunted and persecuted little group. Matthew 24:22, "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened".

March 11, 2020, The Biggest Lie in World History: There never was a Pandemic. The Data Base is Flawed.
The Covid Mandates including the Vaccine are InvalidThe PCR "Covid-19 Confirmed Cases" are Meaningless. The Multibillion Dollar Antigen and Home Test Project is Fake. Today March 11, 2024: Four Years Ago the Covid-19 Lockdown was imposed in one fell swoop by national governments Worldwide.
The Lockdown implied: "Confining the Labour Force" and "Freezing the Work Place".
Not a single economist has acknowledged this relationship. From their standpoint, it was the virus which triggered economic and social collapse. What nonsense.
What does this imply? The most serious economic and social crisis in World history which four years later is still ongoing, leading to economic chaos and mass poverty Worldwide. Destabilizing the social, political and economic structure of 190 sovereign countries cannot constitute a "solution" to combating the virus.
But that was the imposed "solution" which was implemented in several stages from the very outset of the corona crisis in January 2020. It's the destruction of people's lives. It is the destabilization of civil society. Fake science was supportive of this devastating agenda. The lies were sustained by a massive media disinformation campaign. 24/7, Incessant and Repetitive "Covid alerts" in the course of the last four years.
The historic March 11, 2020 lockdown triggered economic and social chaos Worldwide. It was an act of "economic warfare": a war against humanity.
This diabolical agenda has undermined the sovereignty of nation states. It has contributed to a wave of bankruptcies. It has impoverished people Worldwide. It has led to a spiraling dollar denominated global debt.
The powerful structures of global capitalism, Big Money coupled with its intelligence and military apparatus were the driving force. Using advanced digital and communications technologies, the lockdown and "closure" of the global economy is unprecedented in World history.
The video below was produced by Global Research in December 2020 prior to the launching of the vaccine. It was released in early 2021.

Comment: Two useful idiots of the City of London, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and his Health Minister Greg Hunt�both members of the World Economic Forum�facilitated the fraudulent Covid Plandemic and the evil genius of taxpayer spendthrifts "Job Keeper" and "Job Seeker" adding $200 billion to public borrowing, and rising: a WEF protocol. No such hornswaggles were introduced in the influenza epidemic caused by the flawed vaccination of US servicemen in WWI�the Tuberculosis, Polio or Asian 'Flu epidemics (so-called). Nor were Australian citizens locked down, pushed about by police and businesses shut up back then. The Morrison government agreed to a �550m (AUD$830m) settlement over its controversial decision to cancel the French Attack class submarine project. Now as part of AUKUS negotiations with the US, Australia has set aside USD$3 billion (AUD$4.53 billion) into a special US government account to help fund the production of nuclear-powered Virginia class submarines Australia will never receive as the US is 50% behind in its own orders and much of its fleet is in dry dock. A crippling of our defense like the treachery of aiding Jewry's reconquest of Russia through the Ukraine: a campaign of over 1,000 years. Further folly is Australia's provocations against our friendly and largest trading partner China, which like Russia was once conquered by Jewry and both are again in their sights.
Following the Good Friday earthquake, the US dollar, global economy and all fiat currencies will collapse: motherless broke the US will fall upon Rome and Jewry as Daniel 9:27 prophesied�six years ahead of the promised delivery of subs to Australia. Around that time the US and Vatican City State should be wiped from the face of the earth.
Now the United States having gifted the bulk of her ordnance to black market multimillionaire arms dealer President Zelensky's genocide in the Ukraine; with the balance gifted to the non-Semitic self-styled Jew Netanyahu to genocide Semitic Palestinians. The US and NATO (Australia is a junior member) must now deploy the nuclear option. I expect mainland USA will be invaded and capitulate.
This WEF contagion is a global coup. How can nations allow members of the Jew's WEF whose aim is global genocide, deindustrialization, transfer of wealth to the international bankers and world government, loyally serve national government. Remember Oliver Cromwell? Is this not the capital offence of Treason?
We could continue with the hoax of climate change, the foolishness of excess atmospheric CO�, government-sponsored abortion, racial mixing, transgenderism, the "Woke" agenda that we are all created equal, central bank digital currencies, censorship of free speech, clampdowns on protests, the destruction of amortized capital like coal-fired electricity generation in lieu of unreliable ephemeral wind and solar generation, privatization and public-private transfer of national wealth. The WEF is copybook Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, working evidence of The Truth About the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. Also read Engineered Destruction of America and Europe "Nations of Sheep Ruled by Wolves," predicted in 1991 by the Club of Rome.
Net Zero, Fake Green, the Digital Panopticon and the Future of Food
March 11, 2024 � The food transition, the energy transition, net-zero ideology, programmable central bank digital currencies, the censorship of free speech and clampdowns on protest.
What's it all about? To understand these processes, we need to first locate what is essentially a social and economic reset within the context of a collapsing financial system.
Writer Ted Reece notes that the general rate of profit has trended downwards from an estimated 43% in the 1870s to 17% in the 2000s. By late 2019, many companies could not generate enough profit. Falling turnover, squeezed margins, limited cash flows and highly leveraged balance sheets were prevalent.
Professor Fabio Vighi of Cardiff University has described how closing down the global economy in early 2020 under the guise of fighting a supposedly new and novel pathogen allowed the US Federal Reserve to flood collapsing financial markets (COVID relief) with freshly printed money without causing hyperinflation. Lockdowns curtailed economic activity, thereby removing demand for the newly printed money (credit) in the physical economy and preventing 'contagion'.
According to investigative journalist Michael Byrant, �1.5 trillion was needed to deal with the crisis in Europe alone. The financial collapse staring European central bankers in the face came to a head in 2019. The appearance of a 'novel virus' provided a convenient cover story.
The European Central Bank agreed to a �1.31 trillion bailout of banks followed by the EU agreeing to a �750 billion recovery fund for European states and corporations. This package of long-term, ultra-cheap credit to hundreds of banks was sold to the public as a necessary programme to cushion the impact of the pandemic on businesses and workers.
In response to a collapsing neoliberalism, we are now seeing the rollout of an authoritarian great reset�an agenda that intends to reshape the economy and change how we live. Full story: globalresearch.ca
Comment: NATO's highly destabilizing activities in Europe, namely its vassals and satellite states such as Finland, are acquiring the F-35s, while also making it possible to accommodate other jets of the same type from the United States and other NATO member states. The forward presence of USAF F-35s in Eastern and Central Europe keeps expanding and getting ever closer to Russia. Germany, Czechia and Poland, while the Dutch, Belgian and Italian F-35s will also be forward deployed to the area around the Baltic Sea. Worse yet, the jet has been certified to carry thermonuclear weapons, specifically the B61-12 bomb, with several NATO members having the ability to use them through nuclear sharing agreements with the US. This includes the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Italy, all of whom either operate F-35s or have them on orders (globalresearch.ca).
Bombs and Humanitarian Aid from the USA in Gaza. US Complicit in Genocide?
March 10, 2024 � The United States supplied Israel with 10,000 tons of weapons transported by 244 cargo planes and 20 ships in just over a month. Among these were over 15,000 bombs, including one-ton bombs, and 50,000 artillery shells. The Biden administration then gave Israel more than $14 billion to buy more US weapons. This means that the bulk of the 70,000 tons of bombs that razed residential neighbourhoods in Gaza, killing Palestinian civilians, was supplied to Israel by the United States. They also provided it with armoured Caterpillar bulldozers which advanced along with the tanks demolishing everything in their path with their 64 tons weight.
The figures of the ongoing genocide in Gaza to date: 37,534 people murdered or missing; 13,430 children murdered; 8,900 women killed; 364 medical personnel killed; 269 were kidnapped; 132 journalists murdered; 71,920 injured; 17,000 children left without their parents; 32 hospitals out of service; 53 health centres out of service; 700,000 patients with infectious diseases; 350,000 patients with chronic diseases left without treatment; 270,000 homes destroyed; 400 schools and universities destroyed; 500 mosques destroyed; 290 archaeological sites destroyed.

Comment: Hamas wants an end to the war, but the US is looking only for a 6-week pause, and Israel is willing to allow a pause but resume the genocide afterward . . . Netanyahu has planned for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to remain in a military occupation of Gaza for at least 10 years (globalresearch.ca).
Anyone acting in good faith understands that murdering 30,000 innocent people has nothing to do with eliminating Hamas. Operation Iron Glaive . . . is cover to realize the old dream pursued by Jewish fascists from Jabotinsky to Netanyahu: to expel the Arab population from Palestine . . . this mass crime, committed for the first time live on television, turned the world's political chessboard upside down . . . "the US is preparing to topple the Jewish supremacists . . . Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, a political secret society run by the British MI6 and followed for decades by King Charles III . . . From now on, it will be possible to exhume all the crimes committed by this tiny group, on behalf of the CIA, during the Cold War, in the Middle East, Africa and Latin America (voltairenet.org).
Western Governments have declared open Season on their White Citizens
March 5, 2024 � Normal heterosexual white people are losing the protection of law in the Western world. It is happening in some countries faster than in others . . . In the US the situation is so bad that the federal government absolutely refuses to enforce the immigration laws on the books. The pro-Overrun America regime in Washington actually ruled that Texas cannot even protect its own border.
The US border is wide open. According to official figures immigrant-invaders from 160 countries have been pouring into the US during the Biden regime equal in number each year equivalent to the populations of 12 cities the size of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania . . . Everywhere in the Western world, every citizen who attempts to defend the ethnic basis of his society is declared a racist. In other words, everywhere in the Western world governments are committed to eliminating the white ethnicity of the countries that the ethnicities constituted . . . This is the trajectory on which the Western world is traveling. If you point it out, you are declared an "enemy of democracy." Full story: paulcraigroberts.org
The Seven Church Ages
Our Lord God is omniscient, having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness and understanding of all things past, present and future. The thoughts of God are eternal and they are real; He is unchangeable in both essence and behaviour (Hebrews 13:8). Because He is infinite in His abilities, He as God must be omniscient, therefore He is not now thinking or even taking counsel with Himself and He will never have a new thought because all of His thoughts He has always had and always will have. He knows the end from the beginning because He is God.
This diagram represents God; not the circle, for God is an invisible Spirit without form. He is represented by the dots in the circle which signify His eternal thoughts; if you are an elect Son or Daughter of God you are an Attribute of God and eternal with God. You did not receive eternal Life following a grand sermon, you are eternal "without beginning of days or end of life" born-anew by a clear revelation of the Word for your day�you recognized who you are. "When the Son of man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, He shall sit upon the throne of His glory and say, Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world . . . enter into My rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. Our Lord Jesus Christ chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love" (Matthew 25:31-33; Hebrews 4:3; Ephesians 1:3-4).
The first Adam knew he was God's spoken Word so when He learned of Eve's terrible sin he crossed the Life-line by faith to save the woman he loved, knowing this would bring the whole creation subject to sin and death (Romans 5:12). But as an eternal Attribute God must redeem Him somehow sometime, then Eve would be redeemed as they are one flesh through the marriage union (Genesis 2:24). Thus when Jesus Christ the last Adam resurrected, the sins of His many-membered Bride and all Attributes�past, present and future�were remitted.
Geologists, paleontologists, archaeologists and other scientists believe the universe was millions, maybe light years in the making and we know from the Genesis record that it was six thousand years in preparation for habitation. "And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day of one thousand years" (Genesis 1:31; II Peter 3:8).
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" beautiful. "The beginning" refers to the first existence of that with which the history is concerned�"the heaven and the earth." God was before the things that are seen, and He by His supreme volition called them into being. They were created (Heb.) 'bara' out of nothing but His spoken Word, then (Heb.) 'asah' fashioned out of existing material, and (Heb.) 'yatsar' molded or squeezed into shape as a potter does to clay. The heaven mentioned in Genesis 1 is the starry heaven, not the firmament or expanse immediately surrounding earth.
Since the Fall God has never revealed anything to gratify a mere thirst for knowledge; only such as may sufficiently illustrate His everlasting power and Godhead, our own fallen condition with its remedy of unfathomable love, the promise of a speedy deliverance from sin, a complete restoration to His favour, and a never-ending life of perfect obedience and perfect joy. Knowledge in this life is a gift fraught with peril: His dealings with us now are to the end that He may withdraw us from our own purpose, and hide pride from us (Job 33:27-28). It is an ominous fact that after the fall, the first inventors of the arts and sciences were physical Serpent's seed, the descendants of the deist and murderer Cain who believed in a creator God but rejects revelation as a source of divine knowledge.
Genesis 3:17-19, "Unto Adam God said, Because you have hearkened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you saying, You shall not eat of it: cursed is the ground for your sake; in sorrow you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles shall it bring forth; and you shall eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, until you return to the ground; for out of it you were taken: for dust you are, and to dust you shall return." Doubtless it was from this time that the whole creation was subjected to the vanity of fruitless toil, ceaseless unrest and perpetual decay, in which it has since groaned and travailed in pain together until now (Romans 8:22).
Genesis 3:4-5, "The serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die: for God knows that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." Her eyes and those of her husband were indeed opened; but only to see themselves, to behold their own sad condition of nakedness and shame. While they remained in obedience, the spirit which God had breathed into them retained its full power and vigour. Its pervading influence defended their whole being from the inroads of corruption and death while at the same time its brightness, shining through the covering of flesh, shed a lustrous halo around them; so that the grosser element of their bodies was concealed within a veil of radiant glory. And thus, as the rulers of creation, they were strikingly distinguished from all the creatures which were placed under them.
John and Paul tell us that, when we are summoned into the presence of the Lord Jesus, we shall be like Him, that He will change the body of our humiliation into the likeness of the body of His glory. Nor are we left in ignorance as regards the nature of the body of His glory; for upon Mount Transfiguration He permitted the chosen three to behold the Son of Man as He will appear when He comes in His kingdom. There His spirit, ever restrained and hidden during His earthly sojourn, was suddenly freed, and in an instant His whole person was beaming with splendour. Like Moses, His face shone as the sun and His raiment was white as the light (Matthew 17:2; 13:43; Exodus 34:29-35; Daniel 12:2-3). For every living creature has its own proper covering, not put on from without but developed naturally from within; man alone is destitute and compelled to have recourse to artificial aids, because through sin he has lost his natural power of shedding forth a most glorious raiment of light. Hence we may see why our Lord preferred the robe of the humble lily, Brother Branham's Mr. Lily, to all the magnificence of Solomon.
The Lord listened to what Adam and Eve had to say and patiently gave them every opportunity of defending themselves, but when He turned to the Serpent His manner changed. He asked him no questions and gave him no chance of defence; but treating him as already condemned, immediately pronounced sentence.
"As the days of Noah were, so shall the post 1963 unseen (Gk.), 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man be" (Matthew 25:37). "God will come with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire; to plead with all flesh by fire and by His sword" (Isaiah 66:15-16; I Peter 3:7). The first mentioned characteristic of those former days of wickedness and peril is a circumstance which has tended, not merely to diffuse, but at the same time to intensify sin. For every form of evil which exists in thinly populated countries will also be found where men have multiplied; while there are countless vices peculiar to crowded districts, where men are numerous they support each other in rebellion and are prone to become far more daring and defiant of God. And the physical Serpent's seed sons of Lamech, speedily followed no doubt by many others, had introduced the mechanical and fine arts, and devised unlawful means of evading the labour imposed by the curse. And in that age, instead of being cut off at three score and ten, men lived on for nearly a thousand years; their immense accumulation of knowledge, experience, and skill must have advanced science, art, and the invention and manufacture of all the appliances of a luxurious civilization with a rapidity to us almost inconceivable until automation and . . . Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Genesis 6:1-7, 11-13, "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the (Adamic) sons of God saw the daughters of men (Cain's race) that they were fair; and they took women of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for Adamites are also flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years."
"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that (on this side of the Flood), when the sons of God came in to the (Cainite) daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."
"And the LORD repented that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for I repent that I have made them."
"The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." As Jesus foretold, the conditions of Noah's day have repeated: this time the world will be destroyed by fire (II Peter 3:3-7).
Doubtless many of the mighty labours accomplished by the earlier descendants sprung from reminiscences of pristine grandeur, and fragments of lore, handed down by forefathers who had passed a portion of their existence in the previous age of human glory and depravity. Such may have been the daring conception of a cloud-capped tower of Babel; the stupendous splendidly decorated edifices of Babylon and Nineveh; and the wondrous structure of the Great Pyramid, involving, as it does, an accurate knowledge of astronomical truth which would seem to have been at least on a level with the vaunted advances of modern science. For all these great efforts were in progress during the lifetime of Japheth, Shem, Ham, and Canaan the Serpent's seed (Earth's Earliest Ages, G. H. Pember).
Genesis 10:1 gives the "generations" (Heb. 'towldah'�pedigree or genealogical lists of the blood-descendants) of Noah's three sons who are named in order of their theocratic importance, not their age. Shem represented the believer, Ham the make-believer, and Japheth the unbeliever. However the descendants of Japheth, Noah's first-born, are treated first in this prophecy. They occupied the desirable lands of the "goy" beyond the sea from Israel, families of a common language settling under the headship of patriarchs following the dispersal from Babel and taking their identity from their names. Next, the descendants of Noah's younger son, Ham, whose estate has been degraded in that his firstborn was the illegitimate Canaan, who is cursed with his Serpent's seed forebears, is not one to passively submit to Noah's prophecy. Ham's practical nature rebelled against that Word in his son Cush; and in his son Nimrod (biblebelievers.au).
God now set to raise an obedient and faithful people through Shem and the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to Abraham's promised seed. God sent Moses to lead his people and take possession of the promised Land, "an eleven day journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir in Saudi Arabia unto Kadesh-barnea" (Deuteronomy 1:2). Moses found them to be a "sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, and provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger" (Isaiah 1:2-9). They perished in the wilderness and their descendents would reject their Messiah Jesus.
Moses introduced the Law under the blood Covenant Israel broke to worship the Golden Calf (Deuteronomy 9:18, 25). Israel was bound to observe seven annual feasts which were "a shadow of things to come (under the New Testament), but the body is of Christ" (Colossians 2:17). Passover, observed on Nisan 14, was the first feast (Leviticus 23:4-5). Passover typed the crucifixion of Israel's rejected Messiah Jesus Christ who had not one drop of Semitic blood, being the created blood of God (Revelation 1:5). He had no association with "original sin" and did not have the nature of his parents�or "the god of this evil age"�as He was not conceived in iniquity nor born in sin, but faith. Consequently He did not "enter the world speaking lies." Jesus was Abraham's promised Seed and the answer to the Devil's question. Abraham's seed is the Spiritual, not physical birth. Calvary ended the Hebrew and dispensation and the Law.
Passover was followed on Nisan 15 by the feast of Unleavened Bread which must be eaten seven days; the first and seventh day must be holy convocations wherein no servile work may be performed (Leviticus 23:6-8). Unleavened bread types the pure Word of God with nothing added to or taken therefrom (John 14:26; 16:13; Revelation 22:17-20). This was the apostolic faith of the primitive Church prior to the Seven Church Ages of Revelation 2 and 3.
Israel entered the Promised Land at Harvest time, Nisan 14. "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest: and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. And you shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf a he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD . . ."
The feast of Firstfruits on Nisan 16 (Resurrection Sunday) was a holy convocation that began the count of fifty days to the Feast of Pentecost on Sivan 6/7 (Leviticus 9-14). Because the first-born is preeminent the priest waived the sheaf or omer of first fruits typing Jesus Christ the first resurrected glorified Son thus consecrating the whole harvest of Old and New Testament saints to the Lord (Matthew 27:52-53; John 12:24; I Corinthians 15:20).Introduction to An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages
"Though this volume will concern itself with various major doctrines (such as the Godhead, Water Baptism, etc.) found in Revelation, chapters One through Three, its main theme is the setting forth of a detailed study of the Seven Church Ages. This is necessary in order to study and understand the rest of the Revelation, for out of the Ages come the Seals, and out of the Seals come the Trumpets, and out of the Trumpets come the Vials. Like the first burst of a Roman candle, the Church Ages come forth with a mighty initial illumination, without which there could be no further Light. But once the brilliance of the Seven Church Ages is given by Divine revelation, Light upon Light follows, until the whole of the Revelation opens wide before our wondering eyes; and we, edified and purified by its Spirit, are made ready for His glorious appearing, even our Lord and Saviour, the One True God, Jesus Christ" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, Introduction, page 1:1).
The Feast of Pentecost types the Seven Church Ages of PART W_O_R_D during Christ's ministry in the Office Son of God and Mediator. "Now, Revelation, the first three chapters, deals with the Church, then the Church disappears. We see It no more until the end time. From Revelation 1 to 3, is the Church; Revelation 4 to 19, is Israel, a nation; and 19 to 22, is both, together. And the plagues and the warnings, and so forth, at the end! Set in three parts. See? And we're taking the first three chapters, pertaining to the Church, and the church age that we're living in" (60-1205M, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, par. 24). Brother Branham lived in Laodicea 'til it ended in 1963 when Christ claimed the Book, loosed its Seals, descended on Mount Sunset with the little Book open in His left hand and caught Brother Branham up into "a great Cloud of witnesses" (Hebrews 12:1; Revelation 10:1-2). The Seven Church Ages, Christ's mediation for ignorance of the fullness of the Word, redemption and the first Four Seals are fulfilled. He came "as a thief in the night," resumed the prophetic Office Son of man, wigged as the Supreme Judge of all Eternity confirming the Message of this hour. John who represents the end-time Bride throughout the Book was caught up in Revelation 4 by the "shout" of Matthew 25:6 into the threefold PROCESS of the 'rapture' (I Thessalonians 4:16a; Revelation 18:1) to witness with the Church Age saints in theophany Jesus Christ claiming and opening the little Book of Redemption in Revelation 5.
Whereas the former sheaf wave offering marked the absolute beginning of the grain harvest with barley, the fiftieth day marks the completion of the grain harvest with the reaping of wheat as prepared for food: "two loaves baked with leaven were waved before the Lord as a consecration dedicated to God." Because of the leaven they could not be offered on the altar. The loaves represent the sleeping Church Age saints moldering into the leaven of dust and Christ's end-time Bride whose leaven is our sin-born mortal flesh (Leviticus 23:15-21).
Christ came back upon His end-time Bride when the Day of Pentecost was fully come again (Acts 2:2). The 7 X 7 weeks or forty-nine day-years confirm that the Seven Church Ages are fulfilled, we live in the fiftieth day or Pentecostal jubilee: a kind of firstfruits of God's creatures�God-men�the grain again! Under the Seventh Seal "There is silence in heaven. As soon as He gets His Church in speaking conditions, gets His Church to a place that He can flow Himself through, and love, and persuade, and fellowship, then there'll come an Eden. He'll take His Church back to where it left Him at back to an Eden again. Now, that's where it made its first start of fall; there's where it'll be taken right back with every clean slate of redemption, bringing them straight back to that place again" (59-1217, What was the Holy Ghost Given For? par. 32)�to understand the Third Pull and to display the Token (Romans 8:18-19; I Corinthians 1:4-8).
Luke 21:25-33. "There shall be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring (tsunamis); men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift your heads; for your redemption draws nigh. And He spoke in a parable; Behold the fig tree (Israel), and all the trees (national revivals); when they shoot forth, you see and know that summer is now nigh at hand. Likewise when you see these things come to pass, you know that the kingdom of God is nigh. This generation shall not pass, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall change: but My Words shall remain".
"God calls a jubilee every forty-ninth year; the fiftieth year was the jubilee. We know that. We understand that. From the first jubilee of Leviticus 25:8, 1977 will be the seventieth jubilee, making exactly 3,430 years. Jubilee means the going up, the release." 2024 � 1977 = 47 (61-0806, The Seventieth Week of Daniel, par. 196-198; 64-0719, The Feast of the Trumpets, par 106; 135).
Matthew 18:21-35, "Peter came to Jesus, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus said to him, I say not unto you, until seven times (one Jubilee of 49 years): but, unto seventy times seven (70 X 49 = 3,430 years�our Pentecostal Jubilee). For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a certain king, who wished to settle accounts with his slaves . . ."
Isaiah 42:6-9; 49:6-9; 61:2a, and Luke 4:16-19 all prophesy of the sabbatical or "acceptable year of the Lord" when Jesus Christ announced His public ministry in Autumn AD27 � Autumn AD28 (truthinscripture.net).
Following Pentecost comes the long spell of four months to Tishri, the seventh month. Christ's end-time Bride is under the Seventh Seal and the hidden mystery of Revelation 10:1 to 7, the last Message to the last Age. And as Abraham and Sarah had to change in the atoms before they could receive their promised we will be changed before we meet our Promised Son at the Wedding Supper in the air (Genesis 17:19-21; 21:1-3; Luke 17:30).
In 1964 Brother Branham returned to Sunset Mountain. "One day we went to the same place (where the Prophet had been caught up) and he told Brother Wood, throw up a rock, it come down, He said, "Within a day and night you're going to see the glory of God." And the next day, a whirlwind came down out of the skies. When it went up, they asked what it was. I said, "It spoke three words, in three great blasts." The men only heard the blasting. I understood what It said. And said, "Judgment striking West Coast!" Two days after that, Alaska like to have sunk. It's been thundering around, earthquakes, everything. Just look at them, every day, earthquakes just shaking everywhere".(The magnitude 9.2 earthquake that struck Alaska on March 27, 1964 was the second-largest earthquake recorded in modern times (after a 9.5 earthquake in Chile in 1960), and the largest in the written history of North America. It released 100 times as much energy as the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and was followed by tsunamis. During the earthquake, more than 100,000 square miles of Alaska broke, twisted, tilted, dropped and rose.
The earthquake submerged the floor of Seward harbour by 315 feet. Water sloshed in lakes and harbours as distant as Louisiana, and water levels jumped in wells as far away as South Africa. Seismic waves travelled through the planet for weeks and Earth rang like a bell, wrote associate director Doug Christensen of the Geophysical Institute University of Alaska)."This confirmed a prophecy in the 1930's which said, "The ocean shall weep its way into the desert." And, of course, the Salton Sea is about two hundred feet below sea level, and if that big churning, that earth swallowing in like that, with hundreds of square miles, hundreds and hundreds of square miles sinking into the earth, that will throw a tidal wave plumb to Arizona. Sure, it would" (65-0711, Ashamed, par. 46-60; 65-0725E, What is the Attraction on the Mountain, par. 143-152).
Our Pentecostal Jubilee will be marked by Revelation 16:18, "Voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great." A 1,500 X 300 � 400 mile segment of earth's crust will sink beneath the Pacific taking the whole of Los Angeles and much of California and the West Coast to Arizona into Davey Jones' Locker. nl1278.htm
