NATO Invasion of Nuclear Russia is currently Underway. Has President Putin's Patience Reached Its Limits?
August 18, 2024 � Kiev forces of about 11,600 under guidance of NATO troops have not managed to conquer the city of Kurchatov and its nuclear power plant. Apparently, President Zelensky used all of Kiev's remaining troops, plus extra Polish (NATO) forces.
Kiev's losses are more than 2,000. General Allaudin further predicts that the Kiev Special Operation will be terminated by the end of 2024, with a total victory of the Russian Army, and the surrender of the Kiev Regime and its masters in Washington and London. (Borzzikman Aug 15, 2024).
At this point, President Putin still refuses to declare war, although Russia's territory has been invaded and Russians are killed on their territory by NATO forces. And more direct NATO attacks may be planned. For now, Washington is getting away with "murder"; literally.
Step by step, Washington and its NATO partners have been crossing one red line after the other.
- First, NATO weapons in Ukraine;
- then NATO troops un Ukraine;
- then F-16 fighter jets in Ukraine;
- then NATO soldiers commanding the sophisticated weaponry supplied by the west;
- then NATO troops on Russian territories; then NATO drones and aircraft attacking Russian targets on Russian territory�and finally NATO troops attempting taking over an entire Russian district, taking Russian prisoners, killing Russians.
Airports across Russia have been constantly bombed for several weeks by NATO drones . . . The Russian army is constantly advancing in the Donbas, defending the Russian speaking population from cowardly Azov-Nazi attacks that killed about 18,000 people, most of them women and children in the last 10 years. On her own territory Russia, receives heavy and painful blows from NATO weapons. NATO is everywhere, with communication, logistics and NATO command.
Over 35 countries are investing hundreds of billions in tax payers' money to supply Ukraine with weapons to carry out these deadly strikes against Russia�on Russian territory, with NATO soldiers, whom the west likes to call "foreign mercenaries".
Some 80 years after WWII, when Russia defeated Nazi-Germany, German tanks�given to Ukraine�are again rolling through the Kursk region, where the decisive battle took place; the battle by which Russia defeated Nazi Germany saving the West from German fascism. But fascism today is ticking and is well alive, reminiscing the times of the 1940's. Now neo-fascism is emanating from Ukraine, an erstwhile ally of Nazi-Germany�the Bandera's Azov Battalions�that killed tens if not hundreds of thousands of Russians during WWII.
Mr. Putin was adamant eradicating Nazism in Ukraine, making Ukraine a neutral and NATO-free country, a key condition for Peace negotiations. Many people are still under the illusion that Russia is in a minor military conflict with Ukraine, not realizing that this proxy-war Washington-NATO against Russia is far more dangerous than the WWII situation in 1943. NATO is attempting to gradually create brigades in Eastern Europe, aiming at confronting Russia . . .
If President Putin is holding out for even more western/NATO aggressions on Russian territory, it may be that he has a strong response in store, one that cannot be accused as a response to a "false flag", because what Kiev-NATO are doing on Russian territories is clearly no "false flag", but pure provocation.
Russia has the military capacity to wipe out simultaneously western decision and military centers, as well as financial hubs, with ultra-precise, supersonic tactical nuclear weapons, keeping the loss of life to a minimum, but disabling western power structures. Full story: globalresearch.ca
Comment: Imagine if you will, that Mexico has invaded Texas with the full support of the Russian, Chinese, and Iranian governments. Their weapons are supplied by these countries and their drone and missile attacks on the US are coordinated by Russian technology. The Seven Mile Bridge in Florida has been attacked. The US Mexican border is dotted with Russian troops on bases with nuclear missiles aimed at US cities.
It's not hard to do. That is a small analogy to what the US/NATO is doing to Russia.
Do you think the United States would not respond with great force? Do you think it would not feel threatened with nuclear annihilation? How do you think it would respond?
The US/NATO war against Russia via Ukraine is accelerating by the day. The current Ukrainian invasion of Russia's Kursk region has upped the ante dramatically. After denying it knew in advance of this Ukrainian invasion of Russia, the demented US President Joseph Biden said the other day when asked about the fighting in Kursk, "I've spoken with my staff on a regular basis probably every four or five hours for the last six or eight days. And it's creating a real dilemma for Putin. And we've been in direct contact�constant contact with�with the Ukrainians." Do you think Kamala Harris was kept in the dark?
Now how do you think the Russians are going to respond? How many red lines will they allow the US to cross without massive retaliation? And what kind of retaliation? . . . globalresearch.ca.
War is Inevitable between Israel and Hezbollah
August 21, 2024 � Anthony Blinken left Doha on August 20 empty-handed. He had been pushing Israel and Hamas to come to a ceasefire agreement, but the negotiations appear to have once again failed to find peace for the people in Gaza, who have suffered over 40,000 deaths and hundreds of thousands of injuries since the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas. The US supported Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his revenge attack on Gaza, which has been termed genocide by the UN. However the US President Joe Biden administration has forcefully demanded that Netanyahu stop the war to allow Israeli hostages out of Gaza, and prevent further Palestinian deaths. Most of the dead have been women and children in Gaza.
Biden was assured by Netanyahu that he would sign a ceasefire, but at the last moment Netanyahu broke his promise to Biden, and this prompted Biden to end his re-election campaign. Biden was counting on a Gaza ceasefire to win the votes to put him in the White House for a second term, but had to admit defeat. It appears that Netanyahu is determined to wage a full- scale war against Hezbollah, the Lebanese resistance organization. Experts agree that the military capability of Israel and Hezbollah are on parity. The war could be avoided if Netanyahu would stop the war on Gaza, but he is looking for a military victory in both Gaza and Lebanon.

Comment: It would be a mistake for Russia to ignore this large agglomeration of forces since some of them might soon be redeployed to the Donbas and/or Kursk fronts. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko told leading Russian media in a recent interview that Ukraine has deployed a whopping 120,000 troops along the border, which adds context to Belarus' earlier reported buildup there that was analyzed here last week. This number is surprising since it suggests that Ukraine isn't anywhere near running out of troops like some in the Alt-Media Community have speculated over the past two years might soon happen . . . (globalresearch.ca).
Russia's foreign spy agency SVR revealed that: "the Ukrainian Armed Forces' operation in the Kursk region was prepared with the participation of the special services of the USA, Great Britain and Poland. The units involved in it underwent combat coordination in training centers in Great Britain and Germany. Military advisers from NATO countries provide assistance in managing the UAF units that have invaded Russian territory and in the use of Western types of weapons and military equipment by Ukrainians."
They ended their statement to popular newspaper Izvestia by adding that: "The alliance countries also provide the Ukrainian military with satellite intelligence data on the deployment of Russian troops in the area of the operation."
This coincided with the Russian Foreign Ministry summoning the US charges d'affaires to protest American journalists' illegal crossing of their border for propaganda purposes in support of this invasion as well as the military role therein played by at least one American PMC. (globalresearch.ca).
Israel is Forcing Civilization to lose its Humanity
August 20, 2024 � Israel is forcing our civilization to lose its humanity. It has already forced ICJ to lose its authority.
It has stilled the dreams of democracy. It has smothered the mission of countless journalists. It has punished and intimidated university presidents and forced the dismal of principled staff. It has quelled the moral consciousness of young people who believed universities were not only sources of truth, but places where truth could be tested. It upended the very idea that prisoners might have any rights. It has intimidated and bought the politicians. Finally, but not finally, its actions in Gaza these months have made the impact, the very notion, not to mention the illegality, of genocide irrelevant . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca
Why did Israel Invade the Gaza Strip?
August 20, 2024 � After the asymmetric punishment inflicted by Israel in Gaza, all basic infrastructure, schools, mosques, hospitals and 90% of buildings were reportedly destroyed by systematic aerial bombardments resulting in over 40,000 Palestinian civilian casualties and several thousand more buried among the rubble.
The real objective of the Gaza military campaign would be to provoke a second Nakba in which 1.5 million Palestinians will be forced to leave a Gaza that has become a pile of rubble and human remains, making it impossible for displaced people to return and for Palestinians to be confined in an open-air concentration camp located in Rafah, Situation described by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker T�rk as "apocalyptic while warning" of the "growing risk of genocide". Such a forced confinement of the Gaza population would be a pressure measure to open its border and have the Palestinians to settle in the Sinai Peninsula, after which Israel will proceed with the unilateral declaration of sovereignty over Gaza and its maritime areas.
Under the Oslo peace agreements, Palestinian territorial waters would be extended to 20 nautical miles in the Mediterranean and following the agreement signed in 1999 between the Palestinian National Authority and British Gas Group, prospecting determined that the gas reserves in the area would amount to/1.4 trillion cubic meters, of which 60% would be Palestinian and the rest Israeli.
This amount would allow for years to meet the electricity needs of the Gaza Strip, and also export abroad but its exploitation required the tripartite agreement between Israel, Hamas and the PNA but after the invasion of Gaza by Israel, Netanyahu would have decided to take control of the sea routes and exploration of the gas reserves that would be integrated into Israel's offshore facilities. . .

Time to Rethink US-Israel 'Special Relationship'
July 24, 2024 � So long as Washington refuses to change course, the US will continue to confront major problems the product of its own policies . . .
Israel can degrade Hamas' capabilities and kill their leaders, but without a route toward a credible political solution, Palestinian militancy will persist . . . American foreign policy in the Middle East has been dysfunctional for decades, and the imbalanced relationship between the US and Israel is at the core of that flawed regional strategy . . . by continuing to subsidize Israel's war in Gaza, the US is setting up itself�and the Middle East�for disaster. Washington needs to end its bipartisan, blank-check support for Israel and extricate itself from this tragedy. Full story: time.com
Escalation Guaranteed. Iran's Retaliation? Israel is Preparing to Strike Back
August 17, 2024 � We are still awaiting Iran's retaliation on Israel for the killing of Hamas' top political leader Haniyeh in Tehran. Before taking Iran into further far-reaching hostilities, Iran found it wise first to get prepared. To get over the wasteful talks with US Secretary of State Blinken. Then present the case for the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC), and finally conclude a top-visit by Russia's Shoigu in Tehran. The latter, Shoigu's visit, is extremely important, as it contains huge supplies of advanced weapons to Tehran as well as a possible strategic defense agreement between Iran and Russia. Now that these items are crossed on Iran's shopping list, Iran can finally get into business . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca
Comment: Read Ezekiel 38 and 39.
The Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord
Brother Branham said, "After the Church is taken away, Rome and the Jews will make a covenant with one another. The Bible said they would, with the holy people (Daniel 9:27). And now notice, they'll make it, because why? This nation is going to be busted, and the rest of the world that's on the gold standard (before Nixon closed the Gold window) is busted. You know that. If we're living off of taxes, due bills for forty years from now, where are we at? There's only one thing can happen. That's to call in the currency and pay off the bonds; and we can't do it. Wall Street owns them, and Wall Street's controlled by the Jews; the rest of it's in the Vatican, and the Jews has got the rest of it in Wall Street with the commerce of the world . . . These guys won't let us."
"The rich merchants of the earth hold it, and then there's only one thing to do: The Catholic church can pay it off. She's the only one that's got the money; she can do it, and she will do it. And in doing this to get it, she'll compromise with the Jews and make a covenant, and when she makes this covenant with the Jews . . ."
"And he makes this covenant with the Jews, and in the midst of this three and a half years, he breaks his covenant as soon as he gets the thing wrapped up and gets the money of the Jews tied up. And when he does that, oh, my, oh, my, he's called the antichrist until the end of the church age, for he and his children are against Christ and the Word. This man's called the antichrist. Now, he's going to hold the money. And that's where I think he'll come in. Just a minute, while I say this, then I want to go back to it in a minute. He's called the antichrist and will be called the antichrist in the sight of God until the end time" (63-0818, The First Seal, par. 349, 355, 359; Daniel 8:38).
In 555BC God revealed this prophecy to Daniel 7:23-28, "The fourth beast or fourth Gentile world Empire will be a church kingdom and diverse from all kingdoms (Daniel 11:21), that will devour the whole earth, and tread it down, and crush it into one world government. And the ten horns of Imperial Rome are ten kings: and another (Papal Rome) shall rise after them; and he will be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings." (The ten horns into which Imperial Rome divided were the Vandals, Ostrogoths and Heruli (three Germanic tribes which Rome defeated because of their Arian dogma), Alemanni (Germans), Seuvi (Portuguese), Burgundians (Swiss), Visigoths (Spanish), Franks (France), Saxons (English) and Lombards (Italians).
"And the Papacy will speak great words against the Most High, and martyr the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws:" (The Roman church organized at the First Nicaea Council in AD325 and began to corrupt Jewish festivals and observances, replacing the First Commandment with the Babylonian trinity of gods) "and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time (that is three and a half years until to the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week in about AD2029 when Rome will break her covenant with Jewry and force trinitarianism on pain of death (Revelation 13:15-18).
"But (three and a half years later) the judgment shall sit, and Rome's dominion will be taken away (at Armageddon). And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him. This is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart".
In 787BC the Lord the Lord prophesied of this our day in which the Sixth Seal, Seventh Trumpet and Seventh Vial will converge ina convulsion of nature at the Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord wherein the Gentile dispensation will end, taking His elect Church Home for the Wedding Supper in the Sky, and two prophets will introduce Jesus Messiah to 144,000 elect Israelites in the Promised Land. Amos 8:8-11; 9:9-11, "The LORD has sworn by the excellence of Jacob (not Jewry), Surely I will never forget any of their works. Shall not the land tremble for this and everyone mourn that dwells therein? And it shall rise up as a flood throughout the land; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. And it will come to pass in that day, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: and I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness on every head; and I will make it as a time of mourning for an only son, and the end of it will be like a bitter day. Behold, days are coming, says the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Words of the LORD. . ." Today this spiritual famine is worldwide.
"For I will command and sift the House of Israel among all nations, as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least grain will fall upon the earth. All the sinners of My people will die by the sword, who say, the calamity will not overtake or confront us. In that day will I raise up the Millennium Temple of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old".
Amos matches the parenthesis of Revelation 8:3-5 over the Seven Trumpets, "When Christ opened the Seventh Seal, Jesus comes from Heaven with ten thousands times ten thousands of His Saints, and the Bible says "the Heavens was empty for the space of a half hour" (60-1209, Sardisian Church Age, par. 96). And I saw the Angels who stood before God; and to them were given Seven Trumpets. And another Angel (Brother Branham) came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto Him much incense (the revelation of the unwritten Seventh Seal which is the revelation of the previous Six written Seals that finish the mystery of God) that he should give it to the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the Angel's hand. And the Angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake".
The election and calling of God throughout the long Gentile dispensation with its Seven Church Ages unfold into Seven Seals, followed by Seven Trumpets, Seven Vials or plagues, and three Woes or World Wars leading to the consummation of life. "Jesus was lifted up from the Mount of Olives and a Cloud received Him out of their sight. As His disciples gazed intently into the sky while He was departing, two men in white clothing stood beside them and said, This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen Him go into heaven" (Acts 1:9-11). Zechariah 14:4-5 prophesied that at the dispensation change "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 midst thereof toward the east and toward the west." Jesus explained that at that time "The sign of the Son of man shall appear in heaven: (not the Son of man Himself but the Pillar of Cloud that led the Children of Israel through the wilderness in the form of the Man standing on the Mount of Olives as it cleaves) "and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the (sign of the) Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels (the two witnesses of Zechariah 4:3, 11-14 and Revelation 11:3-4, Moses and Elijah) with a great sound of the Seventh Trumpet, and they shall gather together His (144,000) elect (Israelites, not a single Jew among them) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other".
Of course Jesus' feet will not touch this earth until He steps out on the ashes of the wicked for a thousand years of peace (Malachi 4:1-3). However on March 8, 1963 the Seven Church Ages were fulfilled along with His mediation in the office Son of God for ignorance of the fullness of the Word (I Corinthians 13:10-13). "And I saw another mighty Angel (Jesus Christ) come down from heaven (in the office Son of God), clothed with a cloud: and the rainbow Covenant sigh was upon His head, and His face was as it were the Sun, and His feet as pillars of fire: and He had in His left hand a little Book open: and He set His right foot (in judgment) upon the (Roman Beast from) the sea, and His left foot on the (US Beast from the) earth, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars: and when He had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a Voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. And (Christ) the Angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven, and swore by Him that lives forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: but in the days of the voice of the Seventh Angel (William Branham), when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to His servants the prophets. Brother Branham was caught up from Mount Sunset Arizona into the Pillar of Cloud and the Lord told him, "Return to your Church in Jeffersonville; there I will reveal the mystery of the Seven Seals" (Revelation 10:1-4).
Revelation 11:14-19, "The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe comes quickly." This is where we concluded Newsletter 1298 recognizing the necessity for a formal conclusion of World War II acknowledged by all parties thereto before the sounding of the Seventh and last Trumpet. The saints and angels in heaven understand the right of our God and Saviour ruling over the world. But the nations meet the wrath of God with their own anger.
"And the Seventh Trumpet Angel sounded; and heaven was filled with triumphant and prophetic presentiment that now the judgment upon the kingdom of the world and consequently the appearance of Christ's Kingdom are near (Matthew 26:64); and He shall reign forever and ever (Daniel 7:14). And the twenty-four elders, who sit before God upon their thrones, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, saying, We give you thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who is, and who was, and is to come in the loftiest assurance that what is to come is already decided; because You have taken Your great power and begun to reign. And the heathen as well as apostate Christians who have become heathen again, were wroth, and in the wrath of His enemies His wrath is revealed, and it is time for the dead to be judged, and that You should give reward to your servants the prophets, and to the saints, even to simple God-fearing men, the small and the great; and should destroy those who destroy the earth. And the heavenly temple of God which is the archetype of the earthly and ideal Kingdom of God was opened in heaven, becomes visible, even the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies is seen, and there appear lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and a great hailstorm".
Revelation 6:12-17, "And I beheld when He had opened the Sixth Seal, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair (Isaiah 13:10; 50:3), and the moon became as blood (Joel 2:10; 31); and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth (Isaiah 34:4), even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of His wrath is come; and no one is able to stand"? (These sinners are trying to conceal themselves from the face of the Lord and the wrath of the Lamb, from judgment in their despairing repentance.
As the Sixth Seal, Seventh Trumpet and Seventh Vial cycle around the same concentric cycle remember that throughout this Book John represents YOU personally as Christ's End-time Bride, so replace his name with YOUR own name.
Revelation 16:17-21, "And the seventh angel poured out his Vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done." This directs us back to Revelation 15 where we encounter seven angels having the last seven plagues which are consummated in the Seventh Vial.
Revelation 15:1-8, "And . . . Your name . . . saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them the wrath of God is finished. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: (this is the time of Jacob's trouble, in the second half of Daniel's Seventieth week) these Israelites having won victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God." The sea of glass is the laver wherein the priests washed their hands and feet before ministering in the sanctuary. The original laver in the wilderness was fabricated from the polished copper looking glasses of the ladies. Here 144,000 elect Israelites justified and sanctified in the revelation Jesus Messiah is the Supreme Deity manifest in flesh to fulfil the part of their near Kinsman Redeemer are sealing their faith in new birth.
"And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are your ways, You King of saints. 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."
"After that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: and the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and girded around their breasts with golden girdles. 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, until the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled".
Revelation 16:17-21, "And the Seventh Angel poured out his Vial into the air�(the common life-sphere of men)�and there came a great voice out of the (Gk.) 'naos' Sanctuary, from the throne or Judgment Seal over the Ark, saying, It is done." The end is decided, as commanded in verse 1. Revelation 15:8, "And the Sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled." And they are fulfilled in Revelation 16:17�the out-pouring of the Seventh Vial into the air signifies the cosmical decomposition of creaturely life�the end of the world and great communities such as "the great city Jerusalem which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt where also their Lord was crucified" (Revelation 11:8)�the homosexual capital of the Middle East whose non-Semitic Cainites brutally killed over 40,000 innocent Semitic Palestinians in order to delay the incarceration of their hypocritical non-Semitic Prime Minister. Subsequently, after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week, "the kings of the earth, who have committed spiritual fornication (which is idolatry) and lived deliciously with Rome will bewail and lament for her, when they see the radioactive smoke from the Vatican's burning. Standing afar off for the fear of radiation, saying, Alas, alas, that great city MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF DENOMINATIONAL HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH; that mighty city! For in one hour is your judgment come." (Revelation 18:8-24).
Such a deadly composition. The ten nations into which Imperial Rome divided when the Empire was transformed into a church kingdom will support Papal Rome in the coming universal monetary collapse. However in the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week they will reject Catholicism, ally with Russia and 'nuke' Vatican City. Zechariah 14:12 is more forthcoming, "this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth."
Brother Branham elaborated: "You think cancer's something? The Bible said there's coming a time when men will rot right in their flesh, and the buzzards will eat off of carcasses before they even die. Cancer's a toothache to what's a-coming. But, remember, that horrible thing was forbidden in that day to touch those who had the Seal of God. That's what we're striving for now, to get in and be positionally placed into the Kingdom of God before these horrible plagues strike" (60-0522E, Adoption Part VI, 115:88; 62-0401, Wisdom Versus Faith, p. 60:2; 60-0229, The Oncoming Storm, par. 107, 134).
There will be a great convergence in the earthquake at the opening of the Sixth Seal in Revelation 6:12-17 when "the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man ares unable to stand." When the Seventh Trumpet signals the close of the Gentile dispensation and imminent resurrection of the Church Age saints the same earthquake with great hail will sink Los Angeles, Jewry's Babylon with its Hollywood filth, carving the US west coast into Arizona and sending tsunamis over the Pacific (Revelation 11:15-19).
In Zechariah 14:2 and Revelation 16:17-21 "the same great earthquake such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city Jerusalem was divided into three parts and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great".
"When Jesus had made an end of commanding His twelve disciples, He departed to teach and to preach in other cities. Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and asked Jesus, Are You the coming Messiah, or do we look for another?
Jesus answered and said to them, Go and report to John again the things which you hear and see: the blind receive sight (Isaiah 29:18-19), and the lame walk (Isaiah 35:6), the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear (Isaiah 35:5), the dead are raised up (John 12:1), and the poor have the Gospel preached to them (John 4:7-26). And blessed are those, who don't doubt Me" (Matthew 11:1-6).
Knowing cousin John, and that he was fully conversant with the prophecies of Scripture, rather than give personal witness Jesus directed John's disciples to two or three witnesses of prophecy fulfilled. We have done likewise to see for ourselves the prophecies of the Seven Church Ages, Seven Seals, Seven Trumpets and Seven Vials fulfill and tie the prophetic Word together consonant with "the present Truth" (II Peter 1:12). Like John, we require two or three independent witnesses to grant us confidence to exercise the third pull in the manifestation of the Sons of God which will be Life or death.
We have received and acted upon the "shout" of Matthew 25:6, and we are receiving "the Voice of the Archangel" by revelation, not just the literal letter (I Thessalonians 4:16), and are watching and waiting for the manifestation of the Sixth Seal, Seventh Trump, and Seventh Vial fully aware that Christ's end-time Bride will become a hunted and persecuted little group over fifty days between the close of the Gentile dispensation, the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation.
This will not be an easy time because committed denominational Christians will persecute us with the best of intention, and 'authorities' may not tolerate revelation contrary to dogma. The basic needs of food, housing, clothing, health issues and money are certain to be matters of prayer as rationing, scarcity of food, stringent official regulations, betrayal, and unexpected disappointments are to be expected as the world goes insane and we will be regarded as "odd balls".
