Pakistan Flood: HAARP used in Pakistan?
August 6, 2010 — [It] all started suddenly and thousands died, millions were displaced, hundreds of villages vanished in the matter of just four days!! . . . there were no weather warnings, no alarms . . . none of the global met offices was able to predict torrential downpours that precipitated the worst floods in Pakistan's history. Was HAARP involved? We have investigated this matter and concluded that HAARP is being used in Pakistan and of course how can we ignore India's Baglihar & Kabul's Sarobi Dams' contribution in this perfect plan! Is this flood disaster more manmade than natural? The choice of starting point was perfect, the flood is going downstream from the Khyber (Hills) to Karachi (Sea) . . . it is designed to submerge the entire Pakistan and bring up the worst crises and chaos ever happened . . . they know they can't win a war with Nuclear armed Pakistan—it would be a mutual destruction, so they have other ways to do it!

Installation of the Polin Lodge in Poland
August 24, 2010 — The President of the Polish Republic sent the following message on the occasion of the re-establishment of B'nai B'rith that was read, during the reception . . . "
Nearly seventy years ago, in 1938, a decree of the President of the Republic of Poland, as a result of absurd fears, misunderstandings and misleading correlations, declared illegal the Polish section of B'nai B'rith. It should therefore be considered as a symbolic gesture that I am now here in front of you, as representative of the President of the Republic, in order to welcome you and your organization which, in that way, opens for the second time its activities in Poland. . .
Please let me conclude by quoting the words of His Holiness the Pope Benedict XVI who said in December 2006 when receiving representatives of B'nai B'rith: 'Our tormented world needs the testimony of people of good will, inspired by the conviction that all of us, created in the image of God, possess inalienable dignity and value. Jews and Christians are called upon to cooperate in healing the world by promoting spiritual and moral values based on our faith. We shall become increasingly convincing by setting an example of our fruitful cooperation'. Full story: bnaibritheurope.org

9/11 & Nine Years of Deception and War
August 9, 2010 — Nine years ago this week Larry Silverstein and his partner, the former Israeli commando Frank Lowy, closed the deal on the 99-year lease of the World Trade Center. Silverstein and Lowy, devoted agents of the state of Israel and its Zionist fund-raising organizations in New York, immediately had their leased WTC property and future rental earnings insured against a terror attack exactly like that which occurred only seven weeks later. Having obtained the lease with borrowed funds, Silverstein promptly raised rents forty percent.
Unlike the Twin Towers, Larry Silverstein actually owned WTC 7, the 47-story building that fell straight down into its footprint at about 5:25pm on 9-11, in what was clearly a controlled demolition. All three towers demolished on 9/11 were under Silverstein's control and although he openly admitted on camera that he had decided to "pull" WTC 7;, his revealing comments have never been investigated by the authorities of New York City or the federal government. Whoever placed the super-thermite and other explosive charges in the Twin Towers probably did so during the seven weeks before 9/11, when Silverstein completely controlled access to the towers. Apart from all the other questions, Silverstein has never been held to account for the fact that the escape doors to the roof of both towers had been locked. Why were rooftop evacuations not attempted? . . . Full story: rebelnews.org
Fox News Co-Owner funded Ground Zero Mosque
August 21, 2010 — The second largest shareholder in News Corp.—the parent company of Fox News—has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to causes linked to the imam planning to build a Muslim community center and mosque near Ground Zero in Manhattan, says a report from Yahoo's John Cook. . . [Saudi] Prince Al-Waleed [bin Talal's] personal charity, the Kingdom Foundation, donated $305,000 to Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow, a project sponsored by two of [Imam Feisal Abdul] Rauf's initiatives, the American Society for Muslim Advancement and the Cordoba Initiative, which is building the Manhattan mosque. . .
Other beneficiaries of Al-Waleed's largess include the Islamic Development Bank, a project designed to "foster the economic development and social progress of [Muslims] in accordance with the principles of Shari'ah." The IDB funds the construction of mosques around the world, and has been implicated by frequent Fox News guest Stephen Schwartz in an attempt to spread radical Wahhabism (a fundamentalist branch of Islam) throughout the United States. Cook notes that it was none other than News Corp.'s New York Post that reported on Prince Al-Waleed's donation to Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow. He reports that Fox News had no comment for his article, and emails to the prince's Kingdom Foundation were not returned.
Prince Al-Waleed owns an estimated $2.5-billion-worth of News Corp. Majority shareholder Rupert Murdoch recently took a stake in the prince's Middle East-based media conglomerate, Rotana Group. Murdoch and Prince Al-Waleed are reportedly working on launching an Arabic news network that will compete with existing pan-Arabic networks Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya. Full story: awstory.com
Comment: The Saudi Royal Family is Jewish, and Wahibbi Islam is their invention. Soros, Murdock, the Waltons of Walmart, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg are all Jewish. The rabbi of the New York Jewish Cultural Center is pushing for the Wahabbi Mosque and cultural center. The Saudis built Faisal Mosque in Islamabad and the Kingdom has fully or partially financed Islamic Centers in Los Angeles; San Francisco; Fresno; Chicago; New York; Washington; Tucson; Raleigh and Toledo, as well as in Austria, Great Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia, Turkey, and even in some Muslim countries such as Morocco, Indonesia, Malaysia and Djibuti. According to official Saudi information, Saudi funds have been used to build and maintain over 1,500 mosques, 202 colleges, 210 Islamic Centers wholly or partly financed by Saudi Arabia, and almost 2,000 schools for educating Muslim children in non-Islamic countries in Europe, North and South America, Australia and Asia. Saudi aid to Muslims abroad, however, comes with strings attached, and most of the recipient institutions end up promoting the Wahhabi version of Islam.
You are called Goyim because you are regarded as dumb human cattle, so look beyond the charade to identify the golem House of Saud and Wahabbism behind the mask of "Arabia" and innocent "Islam." It will surprise you! Globalists created Wahhabi Terrorism to Destroy Islam and Justify a Global State. On top of this, the State Department is funding, building and renovating Mosques in 27 countries.
Fort Detrick & Morgellons Disease
June 12 2010 — For the past several years there have been consistent and credible reports that the US Army's biological warfare research facility at Fort Detrick, Frederick, Maryland, has experimented with a lab-created disease very similar to Morgellons.
Said one former Detrick microbiologist, who refused to allow his name to be printed: 'That—I remember research on something similar—I don't recall what it was specifically called—began not long after the Defense Appropriations for 1970 . . . it began around then. . . there were all kinds of things under study then. It was hard to keep track of it all.' This remark about the 1970 Defense Appropriations is significant in light that at about this same time the US Defense Department made a startling budget request to the US Congress.
On July 1, 1969, a high-ranking Pentagon biological warfare official, Dr. Donald MacArthur, appeared before the Defense Department Appropriations Subcommittee of the US House of Representatives. Dr. MacArthur told the assembled elected officials that 'dramatic progress being made in the field of molecular biology [by Army researchers at Fort Detrick and elsewhere] led [the Army] to investigate the relevance of this field of science to biological warfare.'
Said MacArthur, 'A small group of experts considered this matter and provided the following observations:
(1) All biological agents up to the present time are representative of naturally occurring disease, and thus known by scientists throughout the world. They are easily available to qualified scientists for research, either for offensive or defensive purposes;
(2) Within the next 5 to 10 years; it would probably be possible to make a new infective microorganism, which could differ, in certain important aspects from any known disease-causing organisms. Most important of these is that it might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon when we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease.'
Dr. MacArthur's testimony went on, and he informed the subcommittee that a research program to explore the feasibility of developing such a disease, 'a synthetic biological agent, an agent that does not naturally exist and for which no natural immunity could be acquired,' would take only about 5 years to complete, and would cost $10 million. Quite understandably, since MacArthur made his memorable remarks, speculation has been rampant about just exactly what disease he was talking about.
Some declassified Army reports from this same time are quite interesting in that many documents make it readily apparent that some of the Army's most secret experiments with laboratory manipulated diseases were conducted in those same states where Morgellons is reported to be most prevalent: Texas, Florida, and California. . . Full story: voltairenet.org
Why is it that the US state apparatus is standing in the way of any serious medical investigation into Mogellons disease? For the simple reason that it would inexorably lead to the covert biological war programmes of the 1950's.
"I had come to realize that the pharmaceutical companies were basically a conspiracy against common people; that truth about a lot of things had become submerged big time; that medicine today was 100 years behind the times and had been taken over by military medicine. There seemed to be a massive malignant agenda at play. . . There now exists strong data indicating that this disorder [Morgellons] is associated with nanotechnology, specifically nano machines in the form of nanofibers.' Full story: voltairenet.org
One reader, former military scientist, Dr. Hanley Watson, revealed that the Army, 'from 1950 to at least mid-1976' conducted 'numerous experiments simulating biological or germ warfare attacks in dozens of locations across the country.' Said Watson, 'Previously these experiments were downplayed by the Pentagon as ?harmless tests' occurring in about 8 areas in the US and employing benign substances, but this couldn't be further from the truth.'
Did the US Army help spread Morgellons and other diseases?
Comment: Brother Branham said, "Did you know the Bible predicts that in the last days, that they'll be a germ warfare? That diseases will break out upon the people, and will fall on everyone without the baptism of the Holy Spirit? But the Angel who had charge over these plagues was given orders to touch no one on whom the mark was. Why, how much, kind of teachers have we got to be, brethren, to get the church in order to be in that condition? Immune" (God's Provided Way of Healing, #54-0719A; God's Provided Way of Approach to Fellowship, #61-0709).
Chinese Exports include Human Organs
August 22, 2010 — For the past four years news sources in Europe have been reporting that due to the dramatic rise in demand for organ donations, China has expanded its export of every product imaginable to one that is unimaginable: the very secret, but very lucrative sale of human organs extracted not from donors who pledge them at death, but harvested from political prisoners who are executed specifically for hearts, livers, kidneys, corneas, pancreases and even skin for burn victims after they exhaust the Chinese "appeals process" and their execution finally takes place at the prescribed date and time. . .
The demand for organ transplants is due to the development of the drug Cyclosporine in the early 1980s. Cyclosporine minimizes the rejection of foreign human organs in the transplant patient's body. As the demand for organs mushroomed, the People's Republic of China issued a decree in 1984 allowing the State to harvest organs from executed prisoners. . . Full story: onchristianryter.com
Zach Dunlap was clinically dead. As the nurse prepared Zach for the harvest-team by removing the tubes from Zach's throat, two of Zach's cousins, Dan and Christy Coffin, both nurses, saw something that told them Zach was not dead. On a hunch, Dan Coffin ran the blade of his pocket knife up the sole of one of Zach's feet. The foot yanked away. Zach was alive. Within 5 days he opened his eyes and began to talk. In 48 days he walked out of the rehab center. He was less than 48 minutes from having all of the organs in his body harvested. Full story: onchristianryter.com
The Seventh Seal – Part I
In our study thus far we have reviewed Brother Branham's teaching on the first Six Seals of Revelation chapter six. The Seventh Seal of chapter eight reveals the mysteries of the Seven Thunders of chapter ten. John was forbidden to record what those voices uttered and simply states, "When the Lamb had opened the Seventh Seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." However, we need to receive the Logos of this unwritten Word.
John 1:1, 14, "In the beginning was the Logos and the Logos was with God as His eternal thoughts, therefore the Logos was God. Before creation God dwelt alone with His eternal thoughts not yet expressed as Logos. . . And the Logos was made flesh in a virgin as our kinsman Redeemer—a human 'Lamb' for an acceptable sacrifice without spot of original sin or blemish of character. He dwelt among us and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and Truth".
Jesus Christ is the Logos or fullness of Gods eternal thoughts expressed in human flesh (Proverbs 23:7). Jesus is God—not a second or third Person as Jehovah's Witnesses (so-called) and Judaeo-Roman Catholics would have you believe. Christ is the mystery of (the One Person of) God revealed. Nothing can be added to or taken from the eternal One.
The Logos is also manifest as the Witness of the Stars or Zodiac; the Bible in Stone or Great Pyramid, and the paper and ink of our Holy Bible. Yet from Christ's assumption until 1963 man did not have the fullness of the Word as all three Bibles were sealed by the mysterious absence from the Great Pyramid of the caagsone representing the rejected Christ and the unwritten Word of the voices of the Seven Thunders which cap the Pyramid of the stature of the perfect Man (Zechariah 4:7; Romans 9:32-33). This Caagsone revelation was sealed from the foundation of the world and in its stead we owned only PART-Word; thus Jesus was a Mediator in behalf of the Church Age saints, receiving their revelation of the Word allotted to their day and placing their ignorance of the fullness under the Blood so that they could be born-again.
When the Lamb opened the Seals and unveiled them through His prophet Brother Branham, the "Elijah" of Malachi 4:5-6 and the "angel" to the Laodicean Church Age, the mysteries of the Seven Thunders which are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form. In I Corinthians 13:10, Paul prophesied "When that which is perfect is come—[Christ the fullness of the Word], PART-Word [and His mediation for ignorance] will be done away." So the revelation of the Seven Thunders "finished the mystery of God, spoken [but not fully expounded] by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began." This mystery is manifest in Christ Jesus, His glorified Family and the saints of all Ages through fellowship by redemption.
From the garden of Eden God's Word and Life comes only by the mouth of a vindicated prophet (Deuteronomy 18:18-22; II Peter 1:21). Death entered into the world when Eve bypassed her prophet husband to feed her soul from Satan, who is the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The second Eve or false church continues to bypass Christ, the Tree of Life, to taste the fruit of forbidden knowledge. The THUS SAITH THE LORD of the seven angels under preeminence in Christ's right hand of power is of no concern to independent thinkers like Eve who follow the intellectual reasonings and works programs of organized religions away from the revealed Word of God's one provided way (Revelation 1:20).
Man-made interpretation like fortune telling is impersonation of a prophet and blasphemy. "From among such people are those [like Jehovah's Witnesses] who worm their way into houses and captivate idle women, laden with sins and controlled by various impulses—forever trying to learn and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobates with a counterfeit faith. But they will not go far: for their folly will be manifest to all men, as was theirs" (II Timothy 3:6-9).
Christ's second Coming is a 'parousia' coming and not His physical return which will be His third or 'erchomai' Coming. The Greek Word 'parousia' is translated "coming" in our English Bibles and means "arrival and subsequent presence." Were you to call me on the 'phone, you might be in Pakistan or London while I am in Gunnedah, yet we would be in one another's presence. Film or audio of Brother Branham would bring him into your presence, but as he has been buried for forty-five years you would not be in His presence, however you would be in the Presence of the Lord per medium of the Message that was spoken and will be judged by the decisions you make concerning the Word you have heard.
Christ's second Coming is universal whereas the physical return of the glorified Man can only be local. Jesus told us not to look for His 'erchomai' Coming which will not take place until after the consummation of Life and only those who return with Him will see it (Matthew 24:22-28; Malachi 4:1-3). His 'parousia' Coming is not a Man but the Logos, and the Word comes only to a prophet. The Message of the prophet God promised and sent in these last days is Christ, the Logos or fullness of the Word, and without a prophet there could be no 'parousia' Coming. Thus the folly of Jehovah's Witness doctrine is manifest. Without a prophet their leader Charles Taze Russell announced Christ's 'parousia' Coming in 1874 and again in 1914, yet more than a century later his followers are still not seeking God's Covenant prophet (Amos 3:7; Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11; Revelation 10:7).
Christ is marrying a WORD Bride not a denominational harlot who is in the Message today and flirting with Pentecostalism tomorrow. Jesus is Alpha, the Word at the beginning, and Omega, the Word at the end, not the PART-Word in between. And since we now have the perfect interpretation of the Word He is no longer a Mediator for ignorance. Brother Branham said, "There is a Bride, and She is elected, and She will be called according to the election. Notice, this all types the Church perfectly, the elected believers; others do not believe. You can just tell it. You tell a man a truth and let it be proven by the Word and then vindicated, "I don't believe it."
You can just. . . Don't fool with it no more. Jesus said not to. Said, "It's just like casting pearls before swine." See? Said, "Just leave them alone. They'll turn and tramp you under their feet." They'll make fun of you. Just walk away and leave them "if the blind leads the blind. . ."
I went to a man not long ago. . . He come to me rather. He'd been arguing all around everywhere against Divine healing. And he come up, and he said, "I don't believe your Divine healing."
I said, "My, I guess it wouldn't be any good 'cause I ain't got any"; and I said, "but God's is perfect."
He said, "There is no such a thing."
I said, "You're too late to say that, Buddy. Yeah, you done waited too long for that. You might've argued a few years ago, but there's another Age on now: there's millions to testify. See?" I said, "You're too late now, fellow, to say that."
He said, "Well, I don't believe it. I don't care what you do."
I said, "Certainly not. You can't." See?
He said, "Smite me blind." Said, "If you got the Holy Ghost like Paul," said, "smite me blind."
I said, "How can I do it when you are already blind?" I said, "Your father has blinded you to the Truth." I said, "You're already blind."
And he said, "I wouldn't believe; I don't care what you could do, how much evidence you can prove or anything like that; I still don't believe it."
I said, "Certainly, it wasn't for unbelievers; it was only for believers."
What was it? See, you know right then the election's off. Just don't fool with it at all. Jesus did the same thing. He said, "Let them alone. If the blind lead the blind, won't they all fall in the ditch?" But when He come to a little prostitute, it struck Fire. What was it? It was an elected seed laying there (See?) that seen it right now.
When It come to Peter, there was an elected seed laying there, see, and they saw it, "And all the Father hath (past tense) given Me, they'll come. They'll come to Me." Oh, my, I love that. Yes, sir. Notice, the believers does believe it. The unbelievers can't believe it. So now, if anybody wants to argue about the Serpent's seed and things and you try to show them, they won't listen to it, just walk away. Leave them alone. See, God don't argue, neither does His children. See, see?" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 547:1 - 548:1; Hebrews 4:12).
The mysterious "silence in heaven about the space of half an hour" is the present space of time in which the Seventh Seal overlaps the Fourth Seal of our Spiritual redemption. It commenced at the close of the Laodicean Church Age (Revelation 3:22) with the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man after which His end-time Bride was caught up in the Spirit by the revelation of the Seals to see "things that must be after the Church Ages" (Revelation 4:1-2). This space of time ends with the Fourth Seal as the Sixth Seal opens, marking the end of our dispensation with the sinking of Los Angeles and the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man to Israel.
The Seventh Seal will overlap the Sixth Seal and continue manifesting "until the times of restitution of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began"—beyond the millennium and White Throne Judgment to the eighth day in the renewed heavens and renewed earth. Peter went on to explain "every soul that does not unconditionally obey that Prophet [who revealed the Seven Seals to Brother Branham] will be destroyed from among the people" (Acts 3:21-23; Revelation 22:6-19).
The Seventh Seal was unwritten in order to keep the saints pressing into Christ the Word for two thousand years pending His Coming. Had Jesus known and revealed the year, or even the day and the hour of His Coming, the Church would have relaxed and relapsed into worldly pursuits. The Book was originally compiled as a scroll in which the First Seal was written, rolled up and sealed, the Second Seal written, rolled over the First and sealed, and the unwritten Seventh Seal was rolled over the previous Six Seals and sealed; so the Seventh unwritten Seal is the revelation of the previous Six written Seals. Revelation 8:1 does not reveal what is going to happen because God promised a Prophet at the end of the Church Ages to gather up the loose ends of prophecy imperfectly expounded and place them in the context of history so that Christ's end-time Bride can recognize her day and its Message and become written epistles of the present Truth—what Jesus is doing now—and not impersonate the Word for a day gone by.
As Paul explained in Ephesians 1:9-11, "God's secret purpose was that in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth. In Him we too were made His heritage, as foreordained according to the purpose of He who works all things in agreement with the design of His own will".
Revelation 8:1 is the dispensation of the holy convocation following the seven times or Church Ages in which the spoken Word of the Message of the end-time prophet of Revelation 10:1-7 gathers the Bride of all Ages to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb:
"I saw another mighty Angel descend from heaven, clothed with a cloud, with a rainbow over His head, and His face shone like the sun, and His legs like pillars of Fire: and He had in His hand a little Book open: and He set His right foot [in judgment] on [Rome, the beast from] the sea, and His left foot [in judgment] on [her image, the (once) Protestant USA, the beast from] the earth, and with a loud Voice like the roar of a lion He gave a shout, and as He shouted Seven Thunders uttered their Voices."
The "shout of the Seven Thunders" was the 'parousia' Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, and is the Message of the prophet of Revelation 10:7. "If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in a similar way through Jesus God will bring with Him those who have died. We tell you this by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain to the 'parousia' Coming of the Lord will not take precedence over those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first".
The "shout" of I Thessalonians 4:14-16 is the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6: "Behold, the Bridegroom! Come ye out to meet Him"! It was confirmed by the heavenly Voice of Revelation 18:4 calling the wise and foolish virgin out from Mystery Babylon the great, the mother of (once) Protestant harlots and abominations of Earth "into the unity of the faith" (Ephesians 4:13) and be filled with the Spirit for "the manifestation of the Sons of God" (Romans 8:19) and the great translation (I Corinthians 15:52).
The little Book that was closed in chapter five and is now open in the hand of Christ. It is the Book of Life, the genealogy of the first Adam for whom Jesus is Kinsman Redeemer and contains only names. A section within called the Lamb's Book of Life contains the names of the elect and Spiritual offspring of the last Adam whose names can never be removed. The rest of the Book contains the names of the non-elect. Those whose names are blotted from the Book of Life are as irredeemably LOST as Cain's offspring who are unrelated to Adam and not in the genealogies of God or man.
"And when the Seven Thunders had spoken, I was about to write: but I heard a Voice from heaven saying, Seal up those things which the Seven Thunders uttered, and write them not. And the Angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up His right hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who the created heaven and what it contains, and also the earth and what is in it, and the sea, and everything therein, There shall be no further delay for intercession: 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 [already] declared to His servants the prophets."
Ephesians 4:30, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed until the day of your redemption"—or the day in which the Book of Redemption is revealed and the Redeemer comes to claim His possession (Revelation 5:8; 10:1-4). "N'est-ce pas?"
Throughout the Seven Church Ages the Book was sealed and Christ interceded from the Mercy Seat until the last saint predestinated to the Laodicean Church Age was born-again. When the Seventh Seal was broken the day of redemption was over and the mystery of God was finished—who was sealed and how they were sealed by the Seven Thunders of the Church Age Messages of PART-Word. And this is the mystery of the Seven Thunders, the fullness of the Word which seals Christ's end-time Bride. Because we were foreknown as receiving THUS SAITH THE LORD as are the 144,000 elect Israelites, we were fully redeemed in Christ on Calvary. We require no mediation as we are not presuming (Deuteronomy 18:20), unlike Mr. Russell and his followers who quote Ezekiel 18:4 but deny the grace of Ezekiel 18:20-21, and 31-32.
God cannot deal with 144,000 elect Israelites who imagine themselves under the Covenant of Law while He is dealing with us under the Covenant of Grace, for the two Covenants are in conflict. Whereas He deals with us as individuals He deals with Israel as a nation, and only in the Land of the Covenant. Israel is blinded until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in, then God will minister to them through the Message of two prophets under the tribulation of the Sixth Seal and the nation will be born-again in one day by their revelation of His 'parousia' Coming under the Seventh Seal after the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week (Revelation 11:2-13).
The firstfruits of Israel's revelation of Christ's 'parousia' Coming are numbered in Revelation 7:1-8:
"And after the opening of the Sixth Seal [in Revelation 6:12] I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree."
The Seven Seals and Seven Trumpets of redemption all take place under the dominion of Rome, the fourth and final Gentile world empire. The four angels or messengers standing on the four cardinal points portray Satan, the horseman of the apocalypse as he incarnates from antichrist Spirit, to false prophet, vicar of heaven, earth and purgatory, to the beast. The Judaeo-Roman church that was organized to destroy Christian faith is also a device to kill Israelites, the common enemy of Edom and Rome (Genesis 27:39-41). Rome was given dominion over Israel unto the consummation of life as prophesied in Daniel chapters two and seven to twelve, and Revelation 17. The four winds of earth represent war and strife upon Israel under her first Four Trumpet judgments while the last Three Trumpets are all world wars.
"And I saw another Angel ascending from the east, having the Seal of the living God: and He cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads."
This sealing Angel is Christ, "the Man clothed in linen with a writer's inkhorn by His side who set a mark on the foreheads of the men who sighed and cried for all the abominations done in the Temple" prior to its destruction by Titus after the close of the Hebrew dispensation (Ezekiel 9:2-4). Revelation 7:1-2 was fulfilled when the Lord stopped World War I in a mysterious way on Armistice Day at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918 to prevent the destruction of the United States, Rome and humanity in a premature Armageddon before the 144,000 Israelites are sealed with the Holy Spirit by the revelation of the 'parousia' of the Son of man.
Again we see the folly of Mr. Russell and his (so-called) Jehovah's Witnesses, for the Israelites are God's servant nation, and the 144,000 elect are servants to His Sons and Daughters, the Gentile Bride. Jesus numbers precisely 12,000 of each tribe. Unlike His Bride who can pass the Life through the Body to whoever in Adam's race will receive It, our servants are likened to the eunuchs of an Eastern harem and cannot multiply Life (Revelation 14:4). Without a clear understanding of the godhead, and having denied the supreme Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, like the self-styled Jehovah's witnesses they have missed the marriage, and while we are at the Wedding Supper the elect Israelites will be receiving the ministry of a modern "Moses" and "Elijah" during the tribulation, "the time of Jacob's trouble," and will be martyred once they are born-again. Clearly, Jehovah's Witness dogma, like the dogma of Rome and the Talmud, is an "abomination of the Earth [that] makes the Word of God of no effect" (Revelation 17:5; Matthew 15:9).
When David's kingdom was divided between Israel and Judah, Jeroboam king of Israel feared losing the allegiance of his subjects because every adult male was commanded to attend the Temple in the kingdom Judah three times in the year—at the feasts of Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles (Deuteronomy 16:16). So Jeroboam built two calves of gold and set one in Ephraim, and the other in Dan and said, "Behold your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt" (I Kings 12:25-3). The Devil who inspired Jeroboam to represent the Lord God by idols inspired the Judaeo-Roman and Orthodox Catholic churches to represent Him by images and icons, and to blot out the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ by three Titles—Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Whereas those tribes under the blood of bulls and goats were "blotted out from under heaven," in the days of the Holy Spirit the names of idolaters are blotted from the Book of Life. "Whoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come" (Matthew 12:32; Revelation 22:17-19).
When the tribes of Dan and Ephraim turned to idolatry their names were "blotted out from under heaven" (Deuteronomy 29:16-20) so they are not named in Revelation 7 where Levi and Joseph have been substituted in their place. This is not to say those names have been blotted out in heaven, as in the millennium after the tribulation we find the tribes back in Divine order (Ezekiel 48:1-8, 22-29; Revelation 14:1-3). But from the time Ephraim and Dan joined themselves to idols, they died, and those tribes have no more recognition. Now I realize that since the destruction of Jerusalem, all records of all tribes have been lost, so that no one can say with certainty what tribe he is from, but God knows. That great God who is bringing Israel back to Palestine knows exactly which tribe every true Israelite is from, and from all the assembled one hundred forty-four thousand Dan and Ephraim will be missing.
We have quoted numerous Scriptures to establish that very, very few Israelis in Racist, Marxist Israel are Israelites, and that "for fear of the Jews," few of the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Israel will return to the state of modern Israel before the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week. They will return for the revelation of Christ's 'parousia' under the tribulation of the Sixth Seal following the initial war of their Seventh Trumpet (Zechariah 12:4; 14:2). Here are two further examples:
Isaiah 27:13, "In that day the Great [or Seventh] Trumpet will be blown, and those perishing in the land of Assyria and the outcasts in the land of Egypt will [return and] worship the Lord on the holy mountain at Jerusalem".
Matthew 24:31, "Under the Sixth Seal God will send His angels [the two prophets of (Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11)] with a great sound of [the Seventh] Trumpet (Revelation 11:15), and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other [back to their homeland in Israel]".
Judea was subject to Rome, the fourth and final Gentile world power, and Jesus' disciples were anxious to know when He should "restore the Kingdom to Israel" and rule the whole Earth from David's throne in Jerusalem (Isaiah 9:6-7; 16:5; Daniel 2:44; Luke 17:20; 19:11-28; Acts 1:6). So in Matthew 24:3 their third question was, "What will be the sign of the end of the "times of the Gentiles" or world system" (Luke 21:24-28; Romans 11:25-28; Isaiah 27:9-13; 59:20-21; Jeremiah 31:31-34; Daniel 9:24)? Jesus replied in the parable of Matthew 24:32-51 which is the Seventh Seal:
"Now learn a lesson from the fig tree [which types Israel]. As soon as her branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. So also when you observe all these things, you know that [the day of Atonement and the feast of Tabernacles or ingathering of the final firstfruits of God's Spiritual harvest] is so near, the Kingdom of God and the end of Gentile dominion is even at the gates [as prophesied under the Sixth Seal (Daniel 7:13-14; Matthew 29-31)]. I assure you, all these things will be fulfilled before the generation that saw the state of Israel established pass on. Heaven and earth will change, but My Words will not change. But no one knows that day and hour; neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son but My Father only."
"But as the days of Noah were, so will the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, [but according to Genesis 6:1-4 there was 'free love' and miscegenation between the backslidden descendents of Adam's fallen race and Cain's descendents as in 'multiculturalism' today, which is genocide to Adam's race because the offspring will be Serpent's seed. And despite the fact Noah preached repentance for a hundred and twenty years such wickedness multiplied] until the day when Noah entered into the ark [and the Lord shut him in (Genesis 7:16) as He shut the foolish virgin out (Matthew 25:10)]. And did not believe until the flood came, and swept them all away; so will the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man be. Then there will be two men in the field—one will be taken and one left; two women will be grinding at the mill—one will be taken and one left." Like the foolish virgin, the elect Israelites miss the marriage and will be purged in martyrdom.
"Watch therefore: for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But of this be sure, if the owner of the house had known in which watch the thief was coming, he would have kept awake, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming in an hour you least expect. [Indeed, "He has come as a thief in the night" and those "three spirits like frogs . . . working miracles . . . have gone forth to the rulers of the whole world to gather them to Armageddon" (Revelation 16:13-16). The world and our servants will know nothing about it until long after He has departed with His Bride]."
"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has made ruler over his household, to provide Spiritual Food in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his master finds so doing when he comes. I assure you, he will put him in charge of all his property."
"But if that servant is wicked and says to himself, My master delays his coming, and begins to beat his fellowservants, and eats and drinks with the drunkards; the master of that servant will arrive on a day when he does not expect him, and in an hour he does not know, and will scourge him until his flesh is cut and will put him with the hypocrites: there men will weep and gnash their teeth".
Jesus was addressing Himself to Israelites—servants; these conditions have exacerbated since the state of Israel was established. The apostolic faith was restored in 1963 by the revelation of the Seven Thunders and for fifty-seven years "this Gospel of the Kingdom has been preached in all the world for a witness to all nations and the end is imminent" (Matthew 24:14; Revelation 10:8-11). It behooves to remain awake and watchful. We Gentiles have recognized the 'parousia' of the Son of man; how late is the hour if His 'parousia' to Israel was "at the gates" in 1948?
The Seventh Seal takes Christ's Bride to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the Sky, thence to the eternal land of the millennium and the new heavens and new earth in the eighth day, which is eternity—all by her faith. Paul described the Seventh Seal as the threefold PROCESS we call the 'rapture' wherein the "shout" was the Message of the seventh angel which reveals the mysteries of the Seven Thunders in Revelation chapter ten, which are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals that turn the heart of the children to the faith once delivered to their apostolic fathers, and call them out from Rome and her harlot daughter churches into the unity of the faith (Jude 3, Revelation 18:4; Ephesians 4:13). The Voice of the Archangel" is Christ whispering His secrets in the heart of the Bride to place the Message from Genesis to Revelation and bring her to maturity for the manifestation of the sons of God and the translation (Romans 8:19). The "Trump of God" ends the Gentile dispensation, casting Satan down to Earth, sinking Los Angeles, calling the resurrection of the sleeping saints, and anointing two prophets to call Israel to their Atonement by revealing the feast of the Seven Trumpets. nl646.htm
