The (Hegelian) Red Dragon Dance

A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives to remove the two-term restriction on any single person's occupation of the Oval Office by rescinding Amendment 22 to the Constitution . . . the timing is just right to allow Bush to run for a third term, in 2008, if what he does to get elected in any way can be termed "running," that is.

Click thomas.loc.gov and enter "H.J.Res. 11" in the search box. You will be provided the following description: "Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President."

The bill was submitted last January by Representative Jose Serrano (D, NY-16), whose prime agenda is pushing legislation favoring Hispanics. Go to his website: house.gov/serrano and look at the list of his current bills. He has this one mislisted as H.J. Res. 4, look at the other things he favors.

In one of those odd coincidences of the universe, H.J. Res. 4 actually proposes to amend the US Constitution to ban flag burning. Predictably, Mr. Serrano has nothing to do with this bill.

Rumsfeld pushes for Pentagon Total Control
(A Military Dictatorship in the Making)

Here are a series of links to recent articles concerning the latest legal developments in the 'War on Terror' on the US home-front. The Patriot Act II, if passed, would effectively end the law of habeas corpus and the right to legal representation in the United States. Two other proposed law changes have received far less attention. Firstly, a Pentagon Bill to give Rumsfeld what looks like effective absolute control at the Pentagon—eliminating Congressional oversight and granting him apparently unlimited powers to contract on behalf of the US Government—and an Intelligence Bill which, if passed, would give the CIA and Pentagon powers to spy domestically inside the United States.

Eve Spoke

"The purpose of human life is surely that we must use the gift of speech, language, and thought to act to enhance life and love, to vanquish needless suffering and murderous violence—to achieve a yet higher morality. For if we do not, Eve's descendants will reach their end, marking another brief, failed 'experiment' in the long evolutionary history of our planet." (Philip Lieberman, Eve Spoke, 1998).

Comment: Here is the admission of one who acknowledges that he is a descendant of Eve's evolutionary 'experiment' which relies upon continuous man-made 'evolutionary' adjustments to sustain its existence. As for me and my house, we trace our ancestry to Adam I and rest in the grace of Adam II.

Dead Cameraman 'Carried White Flag'

Israeli soldiers who killed British television cameraman James Miller in southern Gaza could have been in no doubt about his identity as a journalist according to witnesses. They said yesterday that he was shot at close range while in a group carrying a large white flag and shouting repeatedly that they were journalists.

Mr. Miller, who lived in Devon with his wife and son, was working with the producer Saira Shah, with whom he made two acclaimed documentaries about Afghanistan. They were working on a film about the lives of Palestinian children in Rafah. His death comes just three days after two Britons carried out a suicide bombing that killed three people in Tel Aviv . . . (The Independent (UK) May 4, 2003) Full story: melbourne.indymedia.org

A Letter to My Congressman

Bin Laden's estranged family, a sprawling, extraordinarily wealthy Saudi Arabian dynasty, is a substantial investor in a private equity firm founded by the Bechtel Group of San Francisco. Bechtel is also the global construction and engineering company to which the US government recently awarded the first major multimillion-dollar contract to reconstruct war-ravaged Iraq. In a closed competitive bidding process, the United States Agency for International Development chose Bechtel to rebuild the major elements of Iraq's infrastructure, including its roads, railroads, airports, hospitals, and schools, and its water and electrical systems. In the first phase of the contract, the US government will pay Bechtel nearly thirty-five million dollars, but experts say that the cost is likely to reach six hundred and eighty million during the next year and a half . . .

There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; Iraq had no real connection with al Qaida or Osama bin Laden. This will be looked at as the War of 1,812 lies . . .

More hypocrisy is shown over the matter of Israel and it's real Weapons of Mass Destruction, including 400 Nuclear weapons, according to the Janes Reference books. These are in direct violation of UN Security Council Resolutions, including Res. 687 (para. 14) which specifically forbids any nation in the Mid East from owning nuclear weapons. Furthermore, Israel is in violation of 67 UN Resolutions, and the USA vetoed 32 additional resolutions meant to censure Israel, yet we attack, invade and destroy Iraq. This is madness. We are in the grip of the real "Evildoers".

Livingstone attacks President Bush

London, May 8, 2003 — London Mayor Ken Livingstone has launched an astonishing attack on US President George W. Bush, calling him 'corrupt'. . .

The mayor said: "I think George Bush is the most corrupt American president since Harding in the Twenties".

He later added: "This really is a completely unsupportable government and I look forward to it being overthrown as much as I looked forward to Saddam Hussein being overthrown". Full story: news.bbc.co.uk

Media Members, Military probed for taking Art, Artifacts, Cash from Iraq

US military officials say that about $900,000 was taken by American soldiers from a cache of about $600 million in US currency found in Baghdad palace complexes. Officials say most of the money has been recovered. Five soldiers are under investigation.

Washington, April 23, 2003 — Members of the news media and US soldiers are being investigated for taking art, artifacts, weapons and cash from Iraq, with criminal charges already brought in one case, federal officials said Wednesday.

At least 15 paintings, gold-plated firearms, ornamental knives, Iraqi government bonds and other items have been seized at airports in Washington, Boston and London in the last week, according to the bureaus of Customs and Border Protection and of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. . .

The (Hegelian) Red Dragon Dance

In recent Newsletters we have demonstrated how the infinite God never changes His ways: if He behaved in a certain way under a particular set of circumstances, He will have to act in precisely the same way should those conditions recur. We also showed that, pending Christ's Coming to destroy the works of the Devil, God's dealings under the temporary and conditional Old Testament were a shadow and type of good things to come under the unconditional New Covenant of Abraham's promise (Hebrews 10:1; I John 3:8).

On this basis we can place confidence in such emphatic statements as, Acts 2:38-39, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you (Israelites), and to your children (Israelites), and to all that are afar off (Gentiles), even as many as the Lord our God shall call" (both Israelites and Gentiles). No 'ifs' or 'buts,' and no hesitation of any description. Plus:

Malachi 4:5-6, "I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the . . . children back to the faith of their apostolic fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse".

THUS SAITH THE LORD by God's prophets is a clear unequivocal 'yes,' or 'no.' His Word is sure (Numbers 23:19; Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8).

Just as mathematicians are able to prove their equations, Christians can prove Bible questions by Bible answers and Bible answers by Bible questions, because God never changes His ways, and faith is a clear understanding of the revealed will or Word of God. So in order to prove that our understanding is the mind of God we must see faith match God's Word consistently from Genesis to Revelation.

Were we denominational people but sincere seekers of Truth, we would be bound to trace our understanding of the Trinity in God's Word from Genesis to Revelation. But this is not possible. The concept denies the First Commandment and the Shema. Neither Moses, Jesus nor any of the Old Testament prophets and saints believed in any Trinity of Gods (Exodus 20:3; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 5:17-20). Yet every pagan tribe and tongue from the Tower of Babel has worshipped the same Trinity under diverse names. They do yet today.

When Israel adopted Trinitarianism, God dispersed that kingdom, and when Judah took to the same error, He destroyed the Temple and sent them into captivity. Neither Paul nor any of the apostolic saints believed in any Trinity of gods (Acts 24:14). Not until the Roman Catholic church was organized by apostate Jews in AD325 under the Hegelian dialectic of the First Nicaea Council did any church under the New Testament worship a Trinity of gods. The few Christian ministers and lay elders who traveled to Nicaea left before the Council sat as recorded in history books and encyclopedia.

Newsletter 271 observed: "We find God's election in one man: Abraham alone received the promise. Genesis 17:9, "God said to Abraham, You shall keep My covenant, you, and your seed after you in their generations." Next we meet Isaac who signifies justification in that God chose and called him by name even before he was born: a perfect type of Jesus Christ (Genesis 17:19; Matthew 1:21). Jacob, the younger of twin brothers exemplifies grace. God foreknew Jacob would have respect to the birthright Esau would despise, and before their birth He told Rebecca, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated." Finally we find the election in Israel's young son Joseph, in whom we find perfection, for there is not one Word spoken against him in the Bible. Joseph types Jesus Christ and our glorification. After Joseph the tribes went their separate ways and the promise was not fulfilled until it returned in one perfect Man, the Seed of Abraham, glorified here on earth and ascended on high. God sent back His Holy Spirit to fill the earth with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea".

In Newsletter 272 we read: "Natural Israel types Spiritual Israel, the Church. And as us Gentiles have seen Seven Church Ages whose spiritual characteristics were foreshadowed by the natural characteristics of seven cities in Asia Minor, there was also a prefigure in Israel which experienced a similar series of dispensations within their dispensation of the Law".

These shadows and types are our examples. They are guideposts that lead us to the Truth and demonstrate how the New Testament was patterned in the Old. Moses' tabernacle was patterned after the heavenly vision, Solomon's temple was patterned after Moses' tabernacle, but Jesus Christ and God's elect are the substance that cast those shadows (I Corinthians 10; Hebrews 9-10).

We have identified distinct stages in the unfolding of God's plan from the first Adam and his Eve who fell, through the patriarchs of Israel to perfection in the glorified Christ and His Eve, the elect Church who cannot fall. We have seen how God's dealings with the Old Testament saints foreshadow His dealings with the Church through its Seven Ages to reproduce Messiah in the many-membered Body of His Bride and this shadow helps us to identify things that are to be.

Revelation 1:9-20, "I John your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was banished to the island of Patmos for my witness to the Word of God, and my testimony—proving with Scriptural and historic evidence that Jesus is the Christ".

"I was caught up in the Spirit into the Lord's Day, and heard behind me a loud voice that sounded like the blast of a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches in Asia Minor; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea".

Throughout the Book of Revelation John represents the end-time Bride receiving the revelation of Brother Branham's Message after Christ has the opened the Seven Seals. In the flesh John was on Patmos as we are in Pakistan or Tasmania. But in the Spirit he was raptured or caught up into the Lord's Day as we are caught up into the Lord's Day since Christ opened the Seven Seals to feed our souls on the same revelation. But when John, representing you and me, heard the loud trumpet-like voice he looked back into the past to man's day on this side of the Seventh Trumpet where he was and where we are now, in the flesh.

"When I turned to see who was speaking with me, there behind me (in man's day) were seven golden lamagsands; and standing among them was one like the Son of man, clothed with a robe that reached to His feet, and wearing a golden girdle about His breast (like Israel's high priest in judgment). His hair was white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes penetrated like flames of fire. His feet gleamed like burnished brass when it is taken from the furnace; and His voice thundered like a rushing torrent of water".

"And He had in His right hand seven stars: and from His mouth there came forth a sharp twoedged sword: and His face shone like the full strength of the Sun at midday. When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead; but He laid His right hand on me, imparting strength and reassurance, and said, be not afraid! I am the first and the last, the Living One who died, and is now alive for evermore, who has the keys of hell and of death." This has to be set in the end of time after the Seven Church Ages because Christ is taking about the first resurrection.

The image in this vision signifies the Corn of wheat that fell to the ground and died, multiplied in the form of His many-membered Bride drawn out from all Seven Church Ages incarnate in glorified flesh to judge this world (Matthew 19:28; I Corinthians 6:2). Whereas Peter and every New Testament saint receive the keys to the kingdom of heaven which is the authority of the revelation for the hour that unlocks the new birth. At the end of time the Church Age saints receive the keys that will unlock the grave, while we who are alive and remain to the 'parousia' of the Lord receive the keys or authority over death in order to change our corruptible bodies into glorified flesh and replace our mortal spirit and blood with an immortal theophany (Ephesians 1:10-23; I Corinthians 15:20-54).

This image portrays the saints dressed in the robes of Christ's righteousness and girt with truth for it is we who shall judge the earth.

"Write what you have just seen and narrated (Revelation 1:12-20), and the things which are in the Church Ages (Revelation 2-3), and the things which shall be hereafter (the opening of the Seven Seals in the time of this present holy convocation unto New Jerusalem in the eighth day). This is the mystery of the things you have just seen: the seven stars you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lamagsands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven Church Ages: and the seven lamagsands which you saw are those seven churches".

Christ holds the seven Church Age Messengers in His hand as a jewelled crown of glory (Isaiah 62:3) as the twelve apostles crown the primitive Church that crossed over the Law into grace (Revelation 12:1). Christ is the Possessor and Upholder of His right-hand men.

Turning now to Revelation 12 we find that church divided into two broad groups. One bears the mark of the beast—human wisdom reasoning against the faith or Spiritual revelation of God's Word—while the elect display the Token of the Seal of God.

Romans 11:7-11, "Generally speaking, Israel has not obtained the blessing of Abraham for which he sought. The elect have obtained it, and the rest have been blinded (as it is written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, shutting their eyes that they should not see, and their ears that they should not understand the mystery of Christ, and so it is to this very day. David spoke of this very thing when he said, Let their good food and material blessings be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense to them for vainly imagining that the fruit of their works indicate all is well between themselves and God: let their eyes be dim, that they cannot see, and let them walk bent-backed forever under a heavy load. I say then, have they stumbled that they should forever fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles to provoke Israel to jealousy to apprehend God's salvation".

In Revelation 12 we see a sign in heaven: the woman clothed with the Sun represents the elect Israelites who caught the revelation and crossed over the Law (signified as the Moon which is a shadow of the Sun) to clothe herself in the direct Light of the Sun (which signifies the revelation of the Son of God). This Church is crowned with the twelve stars or apostles who shone the Light of the Christ in His absence.

As the Old Testament Church was about to deliver Abraham's seed "another heavenly sign revealed a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." This red dragon is Lucifer incarnate in Imperial Rome. Notice, he is a red dragon. Red is the color of Esau/Edom, Satan's earthly agent who married into the physical Serpent seed lineage of the Canaanites and Hittites then married back into Semitic Israel in the days of John Hyrcanus, since when he has taken dominion over Judah which he strives to kill physically, or destroy through miscegenation in order to steal back Esau's birthright as prophesied in Genesis 27:39-41.

Israel's prophets foretold how their adversary, these non-Semitic self-styled "Jews," would rule Jerusalem unto the consummation when they will destroy all life on earth (Malachi 1:3-4; Daniel 9:27; Luke 21:24). Romans 9:6-7, "Not as though the Word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all blood Israelites, who are of Israel [many of them are physical Serpent's seed]). Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all God's elect children [for most are spiritual Serpent's seed]: but, In Isaac shall your seed be called".

Satan employed the same agency when he married into Christianity at the organization of the Roman Catholic false church in his endeavor to steal the Spiritual birthright or extinguish its power by spiritual miscegenation or mixing man-made dogma with the letter of God's Word (Revelation 2:20-24; 22:18-19).

Christ is incarnating Himself in His Bride as we unite with Him in the faith, and Satan is incarnating himself in his universal church as it unites with his reasoning against the revealed Word of God. Satan's ploy is to deceive the second Eve as he deceived the first (Genesis 3:1-13; John 8:44; II Corinthians 11:1-4; I Timothy 2:14). In Revelation 13:1 and 17:3, Jesus reveals two further images of the red dragon transformed from a political to a church empire that has borne daughters, the (once) Protestant churches.

Satan will achieve world hegemony through this scarlet-colored beast full of blasphemous names like Lutheran, Anglican, Methodist, Baptist, Assemblies of God and United Pentecostal; once Protestant churches that are again in fellowship with and controlled by their mother, the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church, infiltrated by red Judaeo-Communism, Judaeo-Masonry, and Edomite self-styled "Jews."

As it was with Israel, so was it with the apostate church. Isaiah 9:14-15, "The ancient and honorable, He is the Head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail. For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed." Take note, my denominational friends.

"The dragon's tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven [Shem's children Israel], and cast them to the earth [when false prophets and anointed false teachers deceived Israel, causing multitudes to be blotted from the Book of Life when they rejected their Messiah] – (Psalm 69:28; John 3:18): and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, to devour her child as soon as it was born".

Roman armies carried a dragon standard. The strength of the dragon is in his tail with which he symbolically lashed the Hebrew stars from heaven to earth (or apostasy) by the deceptive tales of the Israelitish priests that blinded the people causing them to reject God's prophet John the Baptist for man-made theology, and to murder Messiah.

This Scripture was fulfilled when Judah's Edomite King Herod sought to slay Jesus as an infant because he was familiar with the prophecy of Genesis 49:10 and determined to preserve his dynasty from being replaced by a son of David of the Tribe of Judah.

Referring to the Roman Catholic church Brother Branham quoted from Matthew 23:27-31, "They called Saint Patrick a Catholic, he never was a Catholic. Said Joan of Arc was a saint; the priests burnt her as a witch. No wonder Jesus said, "You white the sepulchers of the prophets, and you put them in there, you whited walls." That's right" (William Branham, The Mark of the Beast, 37:271). Jesus spoke these Words with reference to the Pharisees. What was Brother Branham doing if he was not identifying Rome with the Pharisees? Both Romanism and Pharisaism, now known as Judaism, hybridized the religion of ancient Babylon with the Word of God's prophets, making Scripture of no effect to Israel or to the Judaeo-Christian Romish church.

Romanism and Judaism are two sisters Dragon dancing in Hegelian lockstep.

"And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God and to His throne" in heaven whence He shall reign until He has put all enemies under His feet.

When Cain the Serpent went out of the Presence of God, He went eastward into the land of wandering because he has no inheritance in this earth but a so-called "citizen of the world" as he has no country, and even when he is allowed to steal a country he will not settle among his own kind because he is a parasite who must prey upon Adam's people, hence his life was at risk (Genesis 3:15; 4:11-16). Scripture calls him a trafficker or merchant because his hands are always grasping for money by any means (Zechariah 14:21). "Five things did Canaan charge his sons: love one another, love robbery, love lewdness, hate your masters, and do not speak the truth" (Talmud, Peshachim 113b).

In departing God's Presence Cain proved himself a child of Darkness. The natural types the Spiritual: as Sun-light travels from the East to the West the Gospel-Light has traveled from the East to the West, all the way from the Garden of Eden and Jerusalem to the United States. Now it has reached the sin-barrier on the US West Coast ready for the earthquake at the forthcoming cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary and the close of the Gentile dispensation when Satan will be cast down to earth as Jesus foresaw (Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:7-9).

"And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared of God that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." Brother Branham said, "When her man Child was caught up to sit on God's throne, . . . the woman fled into the wilderness where she was taken care of for a thousand two hundred and three score days, to exactly the date of Plymouth Rock, exactly, where the church came over here for freedom of religion, and she established here" (Mark of the Beast, #26:3, 22:157) just as Israel wandered in the wilderness and established in Canaan Land. That would be 1620. Deducting 1260 regular 365.25-day years from 1620, we come to AD360 which is the date of the Council at Constantinople where the Nicene Creed was issued as the Catholic faith. That's historical comment, not a doctrinal statement. "God had made the promise to the church (to the woman), to come into this country"—America (Jezebel Religion, 7:53; The Woman Clothed with the Sun).

In 1956/7, the United States rejected her last opportunity for national repentance and today she is acting-out the role for which she has been cast in the foreknowledge of God as the image unto the red dragon (Revelation 13:9-15). We are at the end of the Gentile dispensation. Revelation 13 will be fulfilled in the next few years.

Brother Branham said, "Two horns like a lamb," not a lamb. What is it? It's our American buffalo. Sure. See, there he is, "two horns like a lamb." But then what did he do? He had freedom of religion, first; he acted like a lamb; he spoke like a lamb. But remember, he never did become an old ram. He was a lamb. This country is only a hundred and fifty years old, you know, just a lamb".

". . . and then he spoke like a dragon".

"And he exercised all the power of the first beast before him. . . (the red dragon) . . . and caused all that dwelled upon the earth to worship the beast, who's deadly wound was healed". (Look!)

"And he does great wonders, so to make him a fire come down out of heaven . . . (The atomic bomb, and hydrogen; smart, intelligent nation, and so forth, deceiving the nations by these things).

"This United States will come to a time that church and state will unite together. And Protestant and Catholic will throw their things together to fight communist. And it's exactly playing in the hands of what God said right here" (The Mark of the Beast, p. 22:159-161).

Joe Six-Pack and Sally Soccer-Mum don't realize that American troops and tax-payers ensured the red Jew's bloody takeover of Christian Russia in 1917, and that tax-exempt US foundations financed it throughout World War II and the Cold War to the present time. Neither do they know that:-

"Communism is Judaism. The Jewish Revolution in Russia was in 1918" (H. H. Beamish, speech in New York, 1937).

"Some call it Marxism—I call it Judaism" (Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, The American Bulletin, May 15, 1935).

"Communism and Judaism are one and the same" (Hilary Cotter, Cardinal Minszenty, The Truth About His Real "Crime," p. 6).

Nominally Christian Joe Six-Pack and Sally Soccer-Mum don't realize that the billions of dollars loaned to red Israel each year are written off, never to be repaid, and that the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled "Jews" who occupy that land are in fact America's sworn enemy, according to their holy book, the Babylonian Talmud. According to our Bible they will bomb America from the face of the earth and do likewise to the Vatican.

The average blind Judaeo-Christian within and without the circle of this Message does not realize he is dancing a Hegelian jig with the Dragon. Every new partner is controlled by his enemy. She will take the lead, and tread on his toes.

Our opportunity to choose Christ and eternal Life ends with the Gentile dispensation as the close of man's day begins "the day of vengeance of our God." We have shown clearly all through the ages that even as Adam and Eve fell because they left the Word, so the Ephesian Age fell by turning slightly from the Word until with every age continuing to turn away, we have a final repudiation of the Word by the World Church system. The Laodicean Age ended in a blackout of the Word, causing a departure of the Lord from the midst (Revelation 3:20). Christ stands outside calling to His own that follow Him by obedience to the Word. After a short and powerful demonstration of the Spirit this little hunted and persecuted group called the Bride of Christ will go to be with Jesus. Then 144,000 elect Israelites will receive the seal of God and the rest of humanity will receive the mark of the beast or be martyred. nl273.htm
