Mark Twain said, "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." Owing to the time expended on the frivolous and vexatious litigation brought upon us by the Executive Council of Australian Jewry our physical Church has held just three services in the past two years, and the difficulty of preparing documents for our Appeal before the Full Bench of the Australian Federal Court on November 20-21 has precluded the preparation of this Newsletter in recent weeks. We covet your prayers and rest upon truth and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Small and financially impotent we were marked as an easy target in the pursuit of "case law" by means of which citizens of all judicatures franchised by the British Assessment Registry (BAR) of Rothschild's London Lawyer's Guild are subjugated by law. When Israel's faithless refugees rejected the blessing of Abraham at Kadesh, God blotted the names of the adults from the Book of Life and marched the nation to Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia where he placed them under the curse of His righteous Law, known as "the Law of sin and death" because no man could keep it. Henceforth that nation would not be His "children," and their elect will forever be His "servants" and the servants of Christ and His Bride, their King and Queen.
The nations have since rejected the blessing of Abraham. America rejected her last opportunity for national repentance on the Jubilee of the Seventh Church Age in 1956/7. God is allowing the so-called Jews, not Israelites mind you, to submit the world to their unrighteous Talmudic law that "makes the Word of God of no effect," caused Israel to kill Messiah after the sixty-ninth week of Daniel's prophecy (Daniel 9:26) and heralded the Gentile dispensation fifty-three days thence.
We stand at the end of the Gentile dispensation after which Jesus will turn His face upon Israel to fulfill Daniel's Seventieth Week. The 144,000 elect Israelites will have three and a half years in which to receive Abraham's blessing, then they will be rounded up like dogs and martyred, while their enemies and all who worship or serve the beast will be blotted from the Book of Life. There will be no elect Gentile remnant once our dispensation is past.
By her conduct in service to the City of London the US presents herself as the image to the beast of Imperial Rome, "the City's" partner in one world government (Daniel 9:27). Unprecedented presidential power is secretly being amassed by her current administration in the guise of "national security." Her colonial troops will enforce the will of the beast (Daniel 8:24).
A US "watch list" of fewer than 20 terrorist suspects before 9/11 exploded to more than 150,000 just months later, and to over 750,000 since the Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) was created in December 2003. However homeland security will not be enhanced until the names on this list and their associates in the US Administration have been investigated.
Following our articles on South Africa and multiculturalism in the two previous issues a subscriber has sent this letter from an old woman who cannot afford to flee South Africa. She describes the results of multiculturalism and conditions planned by "the City" for the third major (worldwide) revolution, which will become Armageddon:
"Crime in South Africa has reached mind boggling, barbaric proportions. The place resembles a civil war; the criminals are in complete control! Armed gangs with AK47 machine guns and R5 rifles enter shopping centres, rob and kill innocent staff and shoppers with impunity. To add insult to injury, the government is effectively disarming the law abiding population—leaving arms in the hands of the violent criminal element. Who can blame anyone for thinking we have a criminal-friendly Government?
Proof of this is the fact that the main beneficiaries since the ANC took power in 1994, are the lawless, the violent and the bloodthirsty. They abolished the death penalty and, as in the McBride case, even promote previous death cell inmates to senior positions in the police force.
The President has personally backed and nurtured a police commissioner against whom serious allegations of crime have been leveled. In parliament, they retain parliamentarians who have scammed money from the state coffers—and these same people pass laws to govern the rest of us!
The government resembles a criminal syndicate more than it does a supposed "representative of the people." They are fortunate we are not ruled by Muslim Sharia Law, where thieves' limbs are cut off, because we would then, quite literally, have a parliament of handless politicians.
To make matters worse, the media only covers a fraction of the true crime rate. The quality press is too busy, rightfully, exposing the few crimes of which they are made aware. However, the majority of crimes go unreported due to lack of space and the failure of the police to give adequate information. Should the media report the full extent of crime in this country the newspapers will become prohibitively expensive, because they will have to be the equivalent in size of a thick novel—each day.
Also, if the full extent and the depravity of all the bloodthirsty crimes committed were reported, I wonder how many people would actually come here from overseas for the 2010 World Cup? How can the ANC expect their more violent supporters to suddenly change and become law-abiding citizens after 'necklacing' and brutally killing fellow blacks who dared oppose them before 1994?"
This is the work of "the City," that continues to rule Judaeo-Communist South Africa, and it is beginning to sound more and more like "home," wherever you live. Many times Brother Branham preached, "The world is again falling apart"; he drew his context from Deuteronomy 4:7-14 where God first placed judgment on Israel at Mount Sinai. He also relied upon Hebrews 12:25-29 and sometimes Micah 1:2-4 or Revelation 6:12-17, which speak of the Sixth Seal and the consummation of life. Israel was a type of the United States whose settlers were separated from political bondage and religious persecution into a land of freedom. The Lord shone His face upon both peoples, but when Israel and Judah paganized the faith delivered to their founding fathers He destroyed those nations leaving an elect remnant of 144,000 blood Israelites to recognize their redemption in Daniel's Seventieth Week. Paul reminded Hebrew Christians of the fate of God's judgment upon their nation, which will be dominated by their non-Semitic enemy until the consummation (Daniel 9:27; Luke 21:24; Revelation 11:1-2, 8). Brother Branham employed these Scriptures to illustrate the judgment that is to come first upon the United States with the sinking of Los Angeles followed by a Russian invasion, then upon all the world under the tribulation of the Sixth Seal.
Might the fires raging across California from San Jose to San Diego (which are prophesied to be sunk beneath the Pacific) be God's grace to compel certain people to evacuate before the coming earthquake, which might occur in six months' time? These fires may be fortified by methane gas escaping along fault lines, indicating the closeness of the earthquake.
It is pathetic having to endure the barrage of lying propaganda about carbon emissions causing "global warming" and how nations might one day fight over scarce water. Propaganda promoted by the controlled media is striking fear in the hearts of unbelievers. Real pestilences and plagues are planned, for instance, famine. Australian farmers feed 100 million people. The price of wheat is said to rise by 20 – 50% in the New Year, the cost of a loaf of bread rising to five dollars. US farmers switching from growing wheat for food to growing corn for the production of bio-diesel and ethanol have already caused hardship to Mexicans dependent upon corn, and rising cost of grains will increase the cost of lot-fed pork and beef. The Australian government has offered meager assistance for farmers to leave the land, encouraging centralization in the spirit of Laodicea. Artificially induced sales of farmland will depress the price per acre and advantage of corporate agribusiness, leading to an increase in monoculture, genetically modified crops, chemical fertilization, degradation of soil and pollution of aquatic ecosystems, disrupting the food chain and further exacerbating food prices, famine, disease, and depopulation.
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

Israel warns World War III may be Biblical War of Gog and Magog
US President George W. Bush said a nuclear Iran would mean World War III. Israeli newscasts featured Gog and Magog maps of the likely alignment of nations in that potential conflict.
Channel 2 and Channel 10 TV showed the world map, sketching the basic alignment of the two opposing axes in a coming world war in a manner evoking associations of the Gog and Magog prophecy for many viewers. The prophecy of Gog and Magog refers to a great world war centered on the Holy Land and Jerusalem and first appears in the book of Yechezkel (Ezekiel).
On one side were Israel, the United States, Britain, France and Germany. On the other were Iran, Russia, China, Syria and North Korea. . . "If Iran had a nuclear weapon, it'd be a dangerous threat to world peace," Bush said . . .
Full story: israelnationalnews.com
Comment: Surprise, surprise! "The City" rules both sides. You should know the identity of Gog, the chief ruler of Magog as Jesus explained in Revelation 17. The "hot stage" of the present World War III begun by George I and continued by Clinton and George II will follow the sinking of Los Angeles, the splitting of the Mount of Olives and the demolition of the Dome of the Rock. Israel's Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Mossad chief Ephraim Halevy agree, "Iranian nuclear weapons do not pose an existential threat to Israel." They exist only in the propaganda of that "christian man of peace," War President George II and his Neocon minders.
Nuke Transportation Story has Explosive Implications
October 7, 2007 – The United States also does not transport nuclear weapons meant for elimination attached to their launch vehicles under the wings of a combat aircraft. The procedure is to separate the warhead from the missile, encase the warhead and transport it by military cargo aircraft to a repository—not an operational bomber base that just happens to be the staging area for Middle Eastern operations. . .

On Torture and American Values
October 7, 2007 – Once upon a time, it was the United States that urged all nations to obey the letter and the spirit of international treaties and protect human rights and liberties. The people in much of the world, if not their governments, respected the United States for its values. The Bush administration has dishonored that history and squandered that respect. . . President Bush and his aides have not only condoned torture and abuse at secret prisons, but they have conducted a systematic campaign to mislead Congress, the American people and the world about those policies.
After the attacks of 9/11, Mr. Bush authorized the creation of extralegal detention camps where Central Intelligence Agency operatives were told to extract information from prisoners who were captured and held in secret. Some of their methods—simulated drownings, extreme ranges of heat and cold, prolonged stress positions and isolation—had been classified as torture for decades by civilized nations. The administration clearly knew this; the CIA modeled its techniques on the dungeons of Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Soviet Union . . .
Under Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Mr. Bush's loyal enabler, the Justice Department even declared that those acts did not violate the lower standard of "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment." That allowed the White House to claim that it did not condone torture, and to stampede Congress into passing laws that shielded the interrogators who abused prisoners, and the men who ordered them to do it, from any kind of legal accountability. . .

Report: War on Terror is fueling al-Qaeda
London, October 7, 2007 – Six years after the September 11 attacks in the United States, the "war on terror" is failing and instead fuel ling an increase in support for extremist Islamist movements, a British think-tank said on Monday. . .
The report—Alternatives to the War on Terror—recommended the immediate withdrawal of all foreign troops from Iraq coupled with intensive diplomatic engagement in the region, including with Iran and Syria. . . it would still take "at least 10 years to make up for the mistakes made since 9/11 . . . Whatever the problems with Iran, war should be avoided at all costs." Full story: truthout.org
Comment: Like many allopathic medical doctors, the Oxford Research Group (ORG) is bedazzled by the symptoms rather than the cause of this conflict, which is the deliberate provocation of World War III to emasculate political Zionism and political Islam, and when it has fulfilled its utility, the United States.
Sarco the Sayan
Tehran, October 17, 2007 – As if his marital challenges were not enough cause for concern, "Sarco the Sayan" has suddenly emerged as the most infamous accolade of French President Nicolas Sarkozy. The influential French daily Le Figaro last week revealed that the French leader once worked for—and perhaps still does, it hinted—Israeli intelligence as a sayan (Hebrew for helper), one of the thousands of Jewish citizens of countries other than Israel who cooperate with the katsas (Mossad case-officers).
A letter dispatched to French police officials late last winter—long before the presidential election but somehow kept secret—revealed that Sarkozy was recruited as an Israeli spy. The French police are currently investigating documents concerning Sarkozy's alleged espionage activities on behalf of Mossad, which Le Figaro claims dated as far back as 1983. According to the author of the message, in 1978, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin ordered the infiltration of the French ruling Gaullist Party, Union pour un Mouvement Populaire. Originally targeted were Patrick Balkany, Patrick Devedjian and Pierre Lellouche. In 1983, they recruited the "young and promising" Sarkozy, the "fourth man".
Ex-Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky describes how sayanim function in By Way Of Deception: The Making and Unmaking of a Mossad Officer. They are usually reached through relatives in Israel. An Israeli with a relative in France, for instance, might be asked to draft a letter saying the person bearing the letter represents an organisation whose main goal is to help save Jewish people in the Diaspora. Could the French relative help in any way? They perform many different roles. A car sayan, for example, running a rental car agency, could help the Mossad rent a car without having to complete the usual documentation. An apartment sayan would find accommodation without raising suspicions, a bank sayan could fund someone in the middle of the night if needs be, a doctor sayan would treat a bullet wound without reporting it to the police.
And, a political sayan? It's rather obvious what this could mean. The sayanim are a pool of people at the ready who will keep quiet about their actions out of loyalty to "the cause," a non-risk recruitment system that draws from the millions of Jewish people outside Israel. . .

Junk Science: Hey Al Gore, We want a Refund!
October 19, 2007 – A British judge ruled on the eve of Al Gore co-winning the Nobel Peace Prize that students forced to watch "An Inconvenient Truth" must be warned of the film's factual errors. But would there be any science at all left in Gore's "truth" if these errors and their progeny were excised? . . . Based on the judge's ruling, the footage that ought to be excised adds up to about 25 minutes or so out of the 98-minute film. What's left is largely Gore personal drama and cinematic fluff that has nothing to do with the science of climate change. . .
Gore also says in the film that 2005 is the hottest year on record. But NASA data actually show that 1934 was the hottest year on record in the US—2005 is not even in the top 10. . . Considering that a key 25 percent of "An Inconvenient Truth" is not true—and perhaps intentionally so—it seems only fair that Gore offer a refund to moviegoers . . .

Jewish Congressmen fight Genocide Bill
October 18, 2007 – Two Jewish congressmen are working to keep the Armenian genocide bill from reaching the US House of Representatives floor. US Reps. Robert Wexler (D-Fla.) and Stephen Cohen (D-Tenn.), as well as three other opponents of the controversial bill memorializing the killings of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire during World War I, spoke harshly of its implications for US relations with Turkey at a news conference Wednesday in Washington . . .
Cohen added that passage of the bill would cause "real-time harm to real people." Full story: jta.org
Comment: Here is the identity of the "real people" these Jewish congressmen do not wish to see harmed in "real-time".
Call for Jews to stop calling Jesus a Bastard
October 6, 2007 – A senior American cardinal has asked Jews to reconsider descriptions of Jesus as a "bastard" in exchange for a softening of traditional Catholic prayers calling for Jews to be converted to Christianity. . .
"What my Jewish rabbi friend down the block finds insulting is different from what Abraham Foxman [national director of the Anti-Defamation League] finds insulting. Also, it does work both ways. Maybe this is an opening to say, ?Would you care to look at some of the Talmudic literature's description of Jesus as a bastard, and so on, and maybe make a few changes in some of that?"

Investigation finds no Mass Graves at WWII Camp Site
October 4, 2007 – A detailed forensic examination of the site of the wartime Treblinka camp, using sophisticated electronic ground radar, has found no evidence of mass graves there. For six days in October 1999, an Australian team headed by Richard Krege, a qualified electronics engineer, carried out an examination of the soil at the site of the former Treblinka II camp in Poland, where, Holocaust historians say, more than half a million Jews were put to death in gas chambers and then buried in mass graves.
According to the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust (1997), for example, "a total of 870,000 people" were killed and buried at Treblinka between July 1942 and April 1943. Then, between April and July 1943, the hundreds of thousands of corpses were allegedly dug up and burned in batches of 2,000 or 2,500 on large grids made of railway ties. . . In its Treblinka investigation, Krege's team also carried out visual soil inspections, and used an auger to take numerous soil core samples.
The team carefully examined the entire Treblinka II site, especially the alleged "mass graves" portion, and carried out control examinations of the surrounding area. They found no soil disturbance consistent with the burial of hundreds of thousands of bodies, or even evidence that the ground had ever been disturbed. . . In addition, Krege and his team found no evidence of individual graves, bone remains, human ashes, or wood ashes. . . Full story: yahoo.com
The Way of the Lord's Despised Few
The so-called "War on Terror" is an offense against the Living God, whose compound redemptive Name is Lord Jesus Christ. The protagonist and her "Allies" in this war are, as usual, the City of London and her colonies who claim to know and love the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, yet serve Lucifer, "the god of force." It is of interest to observe "the City's" captive professed Christian nations valiantly fighting on the wrong side in every war. This demonstrates they are Christian in name only, because the elect of God cannot be deceived on the revealed Word of God. Their leaders and the overruling 'hidden hand' are not led by the Holy Spirit, who is not the author of confusion and guides into all truth.
This calls into question the beliefs of our people, the beliefs and true identity of our leaders and of the 'hidden hand' that has been directing us into the valley of the shadow of death for thousands of years. Of the millions who regularly attend church and study their Bibles one might expect a vocal number to have recognized Satan is riding his pale horse. Because Christians follow the Message of William Branham, the "Elijah" of Malachi 4:5-6 and the "angel" to the Seventh Church Age (1906-1963), we know Satan has been on this last leg of his ride to perdition for a hundred and one years.
C. H. Douglas wrote: "I suppose that about two thousand millions of individuals are affected by the present war. I should place the number of individuals who would be quite unable to say with approximate accuracy what it is about at roughly nineteen hundred and ninety-nine millions, so that we are left with this simple alternative. Either the total population of the world likes war without knowing what it is about; in which case it is obviously absurd to do anything about abolishing it, or, on the other hand, we can find the causes of war if we examine the actions of a minority hidden among less than a million individuals."
"It appears to me (but, of course, I may be wrong) to be elementary and incontestable that it wouldn't really matter much what this minority did or thought, if they were not in control of mechanisms which enabled them to force the other nineteen hundred and ninety-nine millions to take part in a war they didn't understand and didn't want. If I am not wrong in this, it appears equally incontestable that you can prevent war amongst the nineteen hundred and ninety-nine millions if you destroy the power of the small minority over them."
"Now, it is equally incontestable that every effort possible is being made to increase, and, in fact, render impregnable the power of this minority over the majority."
"Unless there is some flaw in the argument which has escaped me, war is even more certain to be universal and devastating, as a result of this increasing concentration of control, than it was in 1939. Fascism and Bolshevism only enter into it as two parties enter into a Parliamentary contest" (Programme for the Third World War, P. 24). That is, both sides are controlled by the same 'hidden hand'.
Henry Ford further defined this minority: "Somebody once said that sixty families have directed the destinies of the nation. It might well be said that if somebody would focus the spotlight on twenty-five persons who handle the nation's finances, the world's real warmakers would be brought into bold relief" (New York Times, June 4, 1938).
Revelation 6:7-8, "When Jesus Messiah had opened the Fourth Seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come and see." And I looked, and beheld a pale horse: and the name of its rider was Death, and Hades followed him closely. And authority was granted to Death and Hell over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by wild beasts of the earth".
The Gentile saints predestinated to the Laodicean Church Age and to this present holy convocation are born-again under the Fourth Seal, which began its manifestation in 1906 and will be fulfilled when the last saint predestinated to Christ's end-time Bride is redeemed and grace is finished. Thereafter the non-elect will either surrender their lives in martyrdom and maintain their names in the Book of Life, and their salvation, or take the mark of the beast and follow the pale horse rider to perdition. Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming will then visit Israel through the witness of the two Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11, who will reconfirm His New Covenant which their fathers rejected (Deuteronomy 18:18-19; Jeremiah 31:31-34) as foretold by Isaiah 11:10-2:6, Daniel 9:27, Malachi 3, Matthew 24:29-35 and Romans 11:25-32, and there will never be another Gentile redeemed.
Who is "preemptively" killing in order to steal the resources of the Islamic and African nations in the name of preventing killing? Cast your eyes over the history of the past century. The killers are impersonators of the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and nominal Christians who know not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who commanded, "Thou shalt not murder" (Exodus 20:13; Matthew 7:12; 19:18-19; Romans 12:17-21; 13:8-10). They worship the "god of forces".
Matthew's Gospel was addressed to Israelites dwelling in Judea. Matthew 24:6-13, "When you hear of wars and rumours of wars, this does not signal My return; for these things must come, but the end is not yet." This prophecy concerns the time of the Second Seal wherein Satan rode his red-coloured horse through the Dark Age of Thyatira, "taking peace from the earth so men would kill one another in the name of religion" (606-1520). Church membership was almost exclusively Jewish, and did not begin to gain a Gentile majority until the Reformation of the Roman Catholic system of false worship (1520 to 1963) begun in the Sardis Church Age under Martin Luther (William Branham, Revelation Chapter Four, #2, p. 630:263-264).
Until the Reformation, the Judaeo-Roman Catholic false church ruled the world. In the fourth century Augustine of Hippo sanctioned the edict of Honorius and Arcadius advocating the killing of heretics who disagreed with the church. With his letter embodied in the canon of the church the popes did not fear to kill dissenters who refused her mark of the beast, and from then until 1850 the Judaeo-Roman church martyred over 68 million who dissented from the dogmas and traditions of Callistus and Noetrus, two early Roman Catholic church fathers (R. Hezeltine, How did it Happen? p. 281-282). Rome even sought to conquer Jerusalem and relocate her headquarters ahead of the time of "Jacob's trouble" (Daniel 11:45). A deal negotiated with one-time Israeli Prime Minister and alleged mastermind behind the murder of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, was finally agreed in 1993 and only this week Prime Minister Ehud Olmert signaled a shift on Jerusalem split (foreshadowing Zechariah 14:2; Revelation 16:19), but no Christian Church other than a local assembly has any reason to be in Israel. In Matthew 24:2, 15-21, Jesus spoke of the end of the temple, and city and all the old economy of things.
Pope Innocent I commanded Pelagius, a Christian minister from England, to adjure teaching the truth. Pelagius responded, "Last night I had a vision of Rome and saw the Barbarians heading this way and they came to St. Peter's church first and destroyed it, and you will not escape unless you repent and do the first works." As he spoke, a horn blew in the distance and someone yelled, "The Barbarians are coming!" It was Alaric, King of the Visigoths, who said to Marcella, a wicked old virgin who had changed the writings of the fathers "I wish Pope Damasus was still living, I would let him feel a little of the suffering he caused my Arian Christians." (These Christians followed the Unitarian doctrine of the heretic, Arius, whereas the Judaeo-Roman church follow the polytheistic Trinitarian doctrine of the heretic Athanasius). As time went on, these words would echo in Augustine's ears, "The Barbarians are coming. They will repay all the wickedness of killing people whom you say offended the Pope and dissented with the organized Roman church".
At the White Throne Judgment I expect a similar pronouncement will be delivered to men like Augustine who with malicious intent devised and misused the ADL's Racial Vilification and Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Acts in the colonies, occupied and subjugated territories of the City of London.
"For the nations and kingdoms of earth will rise against each other and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places." This prophecy concerns the time of the Third Seal wherein Satan rode his black-coloured horse through the Sardis and Philadelphia Church Ages, and encompasses the years from 1520 to 1906. The word "nations" (Gk. 'ethnos') refers to non-Israelites including, of course, their enemy, the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews (Genesis 27:39-41).
The prophecy for the Fourth Seal declares, "All this is but the beginning of earth's final birthpain" of renewing herself prior to the Millennium. These birthpains are the three woes described in the Book of Revelation. Her first birthpain took place in World War I, and her second in World War II. Her final birthpain will follow the "hot" stage of the present World War III, when the atomic conflagration of Armageddon will throw earth off its axis once again, this time toward the Sun, causing a genuine holocaust wherein the oceans will ignite and Earth's mantle fracture, causing molten lava to overlay its whole surface, consuming the works of men's hands and all life.
II Peter 3:10, "The heavens shall pass away with a roar, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up" (Isaiah 24:19; 34:4; Daniel 9:26-27).
We now come to the Fifth Seal (Revelation 6:9-11), which speaks of the chastisement of the non-elect Israelites who are tried unto martyrdom throughout the Gentile dispensation according to the Law, "life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe" (Exodus 21:23-25). When the nation murdered Messiah, that guilt passed to the children (Matthew 27:25), among whom a remnant faithful to Moses and the prophets will die in martyrdom, thereby preserving their place in the Book of Life and salvation. As on Mount Transfiguration Jesus' disciples typed the 144,000 elect Israelites under the Sixth Seal (Matthew 17:1-13) they represent the Fifth Seal martyrs in Matthew 24:9-13:
"At that time, (under the first Four Seals), they (the non-Israelite nations including, of course, Israel's enemy, the non-Semitic, anti-Semitic so-called Jew) will deliver you up to tribulation, and will kill you: and you will be hated of all nations for My Name's sake, (i.e. for every thought or feeling which is aroused by mentioning, hearing or remembering the Name of the one true God—the excellencies of His seven-fold Name, His rank, authority, will, command, excellences, and deeds—Isaiah 66:5). Then many Israelites will be offended and trip over that stumbling stone, and will hate and betray one another to the ruling political authority. And many false prophets (i.e. fanatical Talmudists such as Sabbatai Zevi and as many as eighteen false Messiahs since Calvary, cabalists, etc.) will rise, and will deceive many. And lawlessness (or the tendency to apostasy, atheism, humanism, and agnosticism) being multiplied, the love of many will wax cold. But he who endures to the end will be saved".
This is the state of most Israelites at the end of the Fifth Seal and the so-called Jews persecuting us before the court who show no interest in the Word of God. Revelation 13 and 17 prophesy that during the tribulation of Daniel's Seventieth Week, Rome will rule Lucifer's new world order in alliance with the international banksters. In the midst of the week Rome will breach her agreement, kill Israel's prophets and force the mark of the beast. The many Jewish converts to Catholicism, together with non-elect Israelites, will hate the two Hebrew prophets with the "third pull" and despise the 144,000 elect Israelites who have received Jesus Messiah as their Saviour.
Whereas Matthew 24:9 prophesies the persecution of non-elect Israelites under the Fifth Seal (Revelation 6:9-11), the parallel verses in the Gospel of Luke are addressed to the Church, warning Christians they will be persecuted for their faith prior to the fulfillment of the first Four Seals, in pogroms instigated by pagans, self-styled Jews and misguided Israelites like Saul of Tarsus prior to his conversion. There have been numerous massacres of Christians by so-called Jews—probably in excess of 100 million just in the twentieth century, not counting our war dead.
Luke 21:12-19, "But before all of this (the first four Seals), they will lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for My Name's sake. These occasions will give you opportunities to testify, and Messiah will become widely known and honoured. Therefore do not be concerned about how to answer the charges against you, for I will grant you eloquence and wisdom that none of your adversaries shall be able to resist or refute. Even those closest to you—your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends will betray you and have you arrested; and some of you will be killed. And everyone will hate you for My Name's sake. But not a hair of your head will perish. By your endurance you will gain possession of your souls." In the verses that follow, the Lord revealed the sign by which the Christians would know to flee Jerusalem before the city gates are shut, dooming her unbelieving citizens.
Discounting the physical Serpent's seed (who are not in Adam's race), what is the lack that causes our people to bring war against our fellows in Adam's race? Warfare can only advance the cause of totalitarian one world government, which we know to be the kingdom of Satan and his children because Jesus Christ refused to accept it from him. Whether Jew or Gentile, no one who is in Adam's race desires war but we have no say at all; the alien-controlled elected dictators of our Hegelian sham democracies tell us what we will do. These are the children of that wicked one God set at "enmity" with Adam's race (Genesis 3:15).
The division of labour has enabled the Establishment to formally and officially organize, plan and so regulate society by laws and protocols that the totalitarian government will have no shortage of legislation under which to bring litigation such that, like Josef K. in Franz Kafka's, The Trial, the most one can hope to accomplish is "ostensible acquittal." Technological developments have made the six thousand year old conspiracy almost invincible and ensured its inevitable success. With computerization the 'hidden hand' can oversee, tax and escheat corporations, governments and individuals. The City no longer needs Red Coats to control the plebs when six or seven keystrokes transmitted from London can ensure one can neither buy nor sell.
We yearn not for this world and the things of this world; we do not strive to reform or restore representative government, repair the tatters of national constitutions or salvage the reputations of the clergy, parliamentarians, educators, business and professional people, which are but ashes. Christians are concerned with the substance of things promised and hoped for, which is the evidence of good things to come. Faith is not blind; it is something you know that you know that you know. Faith is the reality of the mind of God in you.
Isaiah's vision of Judah and Jerusalem describes the state of Christendom today: "The ox knows his owner and the ass his master's crib: but Christendom does not consider, My people do not discern. A sinning nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have shown contempt for the Holy One, and they have become utterly estranged. Why do you seek further chastisement since you insist on increasing your apostasy? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot to the head there is no soundness; but wounds and bruises, and putrefying sores that have neither been pressed out nor bandaged, or softened with oil. Your country is in ruins; your cities are burned with fire: as to your farms, aliens plunder them in your presence, and they are desolate, as overthrown by aliens. . . If the Lord of hosts had not stepped in to save a very small remnant, we would have been wiped out like Sodom and Gomorrah" (Isaiah 1:3-7, 9).
The world is headed for destruction. Mankind, confident in his ability and the power of technology, is earthbound, finite, mortal with no grasp of the Supernatural, hence without compass and at the beck and call of the unseen world of spirit as Paul found the Romans 1:22, "professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." Today the world is overcome by the spirit of Laodicea, which being translated means "people's rights," or communism. This situation has come upon a people bedazzled by materialism, technology, what man can do; psychology, the imaginary world of vision, fantasy, or delusion; and philosophy, worldly reasoning against the revealed Word of God. Faith!
We become partakers of the Divine nature by putting on faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, and brotherly kindness—not as an outer garment over our flesh and mortal spirit but as the covering of the inner man of the soul. Together in perfect balance these virtues will display the Token of the Life of Christ, who is the love of God. The robe of righteousness is not like the garment of praise which can replace the spirit of heaviness, but dressware of Christ's Bride on permanent display, for it is not you or I willing to present a public face or make an impression, but Christ living through you and m, expressing His Attributes.
These seven virtues singly were the most prominent evidences of the Life of Christ in the saints of the respective seven Church Ages. Since Brother Branham gathered-up the loose ends of the unfinished Messages of the previous six "angels"—the heavenly manna that brought new birth to the saints in each Age—when Christ revealed the Seven Seals, "the mystery of God was finished . . . that which is perfect [the fullness of the Word] had come, and that which was in part [part-Word and a Mediator] was done away." Now we are in the Caagsone, the Body having grown up into Him in all the virtues, He being the Head of the Body from whom the saints of all seven Church Ages are united unto the edifying of the whole in love.
The foolish virgin have no oil in their lamps because they are dilatory so that the thing most needful is put off to manana that never comes; or they never encountered the revelation of the Word for their hour, perhaps because their pastor has the "letter" of the Message without the "Spirit." Like most people they do not "prove all things." Perhaps they dare not confront their conscience by uncovering sin and 'politically incorrect' truth they lack the courage to disclose in this mind-controlled generation. Failure to declare the whole counsel of God is iniquity and hypocrisy.
Hebrews 5:8-9, "Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; and being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him." The very character of Jesus was perfected by suffering. And according to Paul He has left His church a measure of suffering that they, too, by their faith in God while suffering for Him, would come to a place of perfection. Why did He want this?
James 1:2-4, "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."
Why does He stand by? The reason is explained in Romans 8:17-18, "And if children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us".
Matthew 5:11-12, "Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you".
Do you desire great wealth? Matthew 6:20-21, "Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupts, and thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." The gold of God is a Christ-like character produced in the fiery furnace of affliction.
Carnal often well-meaning men try to solve the problems of this world by humanism, welfare, foreign aid of the material sort, in short, Big Brother! Politicians, NGO's and go-getters seek external solutions with other people's hard-earned taxes. Federal election fever is in the air in Australia; politicians have promised to spend scores of billions of taxpayers' hard-earned money to buy themselves just one more term. Whenever they see a problem they throw money at it, hoping to find an easy, external solution to problems that are internal.
There is a great dearth of character in the world today. The remedy is not better classrooms and playing fields, lower taxes or better superannuation schemes, but like physical healing, the cure must rise from an inner resource of discipline founded on sound principles, common sense, self-denial, realistic objectives, dedication and a correct understanding of the way to accomplish those objectives. The doctor and correct medicines play their part, but the healing must come from within the patient himself.
When a man is born-again, His soul is regenerated from within by God's own Life, and as he matures into the stature of the perfect man he learns how to discipline his mortal spirit; his spirit will then bring his body subject to the Word in his soul. Like the lily, we clothe ourselves with beauty that comes from within, so external difficulties are corrected from an inner resource.
Men who lack character throw money, especially other people's money, at symptoms they can see, hear, taste, touch or smell with the objective of changing external appearances. The discerning man seeks for the unseen cause. He knows the true solution is free, but it is not cheap. True solutions require proper diagnosis and exposure of the unseen cause to revealed Truth. The cure is dependent upon taking the hard way, which is the one and only right way. There are no "short cuts." The strait gate and narrow way will undoubtedly make you despised and rejected by professionals, bound by their alien-controlled association, church, government, history and society, but the truth will set you free. nl498.htm
