Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, or as one subscriber suggested, "Solstice Greetings"!

Christians do not observe Christmas, which is a thoroughly pagan festival celebrating the birthday of the Sun—worshipped in various (bad) manners by all tribes and tongues. In Rome it was the Saturnalia in which the heathens exchanged gifts, and it may fairly be presumed that, in order to conciliate the heathen, and to swell the number of nominal Christians, the same festival was adopted by the heathen Judaeo-Roman Catholic church, giving it the Name of Christ. This tendency on the part of Judaeo-Christians to meet Paganism half-way was very early developed; and we find Tertullian, even in his day, about AD230, bitterly lamenting the inconsistency of the Disciples of Christ in this respect, and contrasting it with the strict fidelity of the Pagans to their own superstition. "By us, who are strangers to sabbaths, and new moons and festivals once acceptable to God, the Saturnalia, the feasts of January, the Brumalia and Matronalia, are now frequented; gifts are carried to and fro, new year's day presents are made with din, and sports and banquets are celebrated with uproar; oh, how much more faithful are the heathen to their religion, who take special care to adopt no solemnity from the Christians." Upright men have strived to stem the tide, but in spite of all their efforts, the apostasy went on, till the Church, with the exception of a small remnant, was submerged under Pagan superstition.

Of the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church which will force her "mark of the beast" in the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week, Jesus said, "All but the 144,000 elect Israelites, whose names are written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, will worship Satan incarnate in Rome's pope. Anyone who hears this warning, listen carefully, for whoever is to be led into captivity will be led into captivity; whoever kills by the sword must be killed by the sword. Do not be dismayed, for by choosing martyrdom rather than serving or accepting the dogma of the beast, the non-elect may retain their names in the Book of Life and be granted into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment" (Revelation 13:8-10, 15-18).

In this issue we offer a video review of the Life of our Lord Jesus from the cradle to the cross and from the tomb to His resurrection glorified to cleanse the heavenly temple of the accumulated sins of four thousand years, His return to raise the Old Testament saints in glorified form and their ascension with him. Be blessed, and praise the Lord.

We have two main articles for you in this issue: first Jonathan Gray, long-time contributing author, international explorer, archaeologist, and just about everything else, presents "The Firmament of Heaven," in which he describes conditions on Earth prior to the destruction of its surrounding canopy—precipitating the deluge. Interestingly, Earth's antediluvian atmosphere then contained a higher percentage of carbon-dioxide than it does today. Brother Jonathan, whom you know well, publishes the "Archaeology Newsflash" from his Before Us website. Our second feature—"Multiculturalism, Miscegenation & hybridizing of Species is Accursed of God," establishes the undeniable fact sustained by both Old and New Testaments that there are two distinct species of human being on Earth between whom God set "enmity." One race was fathered by the first Adam while the second "was [vicariously] begotten by that wicked one" (I John 3:12; 2:13-14; Matthew 13:19, 38). Miscegenation between the descendants of Cain and Adam is forbidden by the God of Moses as it is spiritual genocide to Adam's race because the offspring will not be on the Book of Life, which is Adam's genealogy, and without a kinsman Redeemer. Hereby the folly of Jehovah Witness theology is manifest to all men (II Timothy 3:9).

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.

Is Israel attacking America?

In the last of seven consecutive visions the Lord showed Brother Branham in 1933, "I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters, and smoke all over the land of America".

December 17, 2011 — "In recent months over 300 US members of Congress, over half of the 535 members of that body signed letters of absolute-loyalty to the Zionist-Apartheid-state of Israel; Swearing their oaths, in writing, to support the needs of Israel above all else in this world; which was a blatant act of TREASON, committed directly against the US oaths they took when they were "selected" to be in the US Congress. . . [Both the US House and Senate have passed the National Defense Authorization Act, a sweeping piece of legislation that affects dozens of aspects of foreign and military policy, but that was designed primarily to give the military—and not civilian courts—the clear authority for prosecuting and jailing terrorists]. . . Obama let it be known that he would NOT VETO the bill after all; no reason was given. Then yesterday Obama expressly did say that Americans would NOT be exempt from the draconian terms in the final Bill. Today he signed it and thus ended the 220 years during which the people of this country had the protections of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights: All of which are now DEAD! America is now officially a Police-State, with no protections from the government for its people.

The thunderbolt struck just when I began to wonder 'Why in hell was this NOT FRONT PAGE NEWS (above the fold) IN EVERY NEWSPAPER IN THIS COUNTRY, or the world for that matter? Then I remembered who owns 96% of all the MEDIA globally! Oh Yes! The Ashkenazi Zionist bastards who basically own or control it all! I started to wonder if maybe the Supreme Court might take this up but then I remembered that it was they who shoved George W. Bush down our throats exactly twelve years ago TODAY, on 12-12-2000. The timing of this could NEVER have been "just another coincidence!" Full story: rense.com Comment: It's cabala!

IRAN-DRONEGATE: Washington's Acrimony over the Downed Top Secret Spy Drone

December 14, 2011 — In what seems to be nothing but US-style barefaced arrogance, President Barack Obama has demanded the return of a spy drone which violated the airspace of the Islamic Republic but which was to the humiliation of the US officials downed by the Iranian army.

The top-secret RQ-170 Sentinel drone, which was used by Washington as part of the covert operations the US officials have already vowed to conduct inside Iran, was hunted down by an electronic ambush and landed with a minimal degree of damage over the city of Kashmar about 140 miles inside Iran.

Consciously blind to the realities of Washington's abysmal policies, the Western media treated the report with a predilection for suspicion and disbelief and used the somewhat innocuous-sounding term 'reconnaissance drone'. However, when Pentagon later acknowledged the "mysterious loss of a surveillance drone", they had no choice but to face the truth.

What strikes as bizarrely ridiculous is the fact that Washington has demanded the return of the drone which they have confessed was sent on a secret mission for gathering information. . . The downing of the spy drone is a good sign that Iran is militarily powerful and efficient. However, the secret mission of the drone, which is purported to have been the collection of secret data on the Iranian nuclear sites, consolidates the idea that Washington is more than ever bent on carrying out secret black operations inside Iran and that it is harboring a malicious plan to orchestrate an attack on the Iranian nuclear sites if not an Armageddon in the region.

Back in September, The Christian Science Monitor disclosed, "Gen. Moharam Gholizadeh, the deputy for electronic warfare at the air defense headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), described to Fars News how Iran could alter the path of a GPS-guided missile—a tactic more easily applied to a slower-moving drone. . . a project on hand that is one step ahead of jamming, meaning 'deception' of the aggressive systems . . . we can define our own desired information for it so the path of the missile would change to our desired destination."

[I]f their assertions are accurate, a technological leap such as this would pose a serious threat to any attacking force. . . since cheap and readily-obtainable software packages were now part of the spy-kit of Iraqi insurgent forces, I wondered whether it was "only a matter of time before militant groups figure out how to hijack a drone and crash it, or even launch a Hellfire missile or two at a US ground station?"

We were told by military experts this was not possible; however, who would have dreamed that the Achilles' heel of Pentagon robo-warriors, blinded by their own arrogance and racist presumptions about the "Arab" or "Persian mind" was something as simple as their own imperial hubris.

Rwanda: The Pentagon's African Holocaust

December 13, 2011 — Spanish High Court investigates genocide committed by US-backed dictatorship. On November 29th investigative journalist and genocide expert Keith Harmon Snow testified before Spain's Highest Court (Audencia Nacional) to support the indictments against 40 Rwandan officials for war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity during the western-backed invasions of Rwanda and Congo/Zaire by Rwandan president Paul Kagame's Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) and Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni's Ugandan People's Defense Forces (UPDF).

According to Spanish lawyer Jordi Palou Loverdos:

"Spain's Audencia Nacional was only met by silence when it duly and formally asked the UN to hand over the evidence of these crimes perpetrated against people in 1996 and 1997 or the evidence of the pillaging of valuable mineral resources conducted in these same years or earlier. The international media which had access to the UN report have made public the fact that the UN High Commissioner responsible for the report keeps—separately from the latter—a confidential data bank containing evidence that implicates individual Rwandan and Ugandan military officials."

In spite of threats and intimidation from agents linked to Western governments and from the United Nations, the Spanish High Court authorities are continuing to hear evidence against the Ugandan and Rwandan proxy forces of the United States in Africa.

Keith Harmon Snow has been researching the real facts of the tragedy known to the world as the "Rwandan genocide" since 1994, and, along with many other experts, has evidence to prove that the United States, Britain and Israel were responsible for the training, financing and covert military and logistic support of Kagame and Museveni's forces. . .

Snow also presented detailed evidence of the war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity committed by Kagame and Museveni's proxy forces, after they invaded the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1996, again backed by the Pentagon, Israel and NATO allies. The Congo/Zaire invasion was commanded by generals Paul Kagame and James Kabarebe, and they involved an officer attached to Kabarebe named Hyppolite Kanambe—alias Joseph Kabila, the strongman in Congo today.

The ongoing Rwandan occupation and plunder of eastern Congo has resulted in the deaths of some ten million people, making this the worst war since the Second World War. The Central African holocaust has been largely ignored by the global mass media corporations who are calling for "humanitarian intervention" in Syria, much as they did to justify invading Libya, by the same countries responsible for supporting mass carnage in Africa. . . Snow gave detailed testimony to the Audencia Nacional of the American, British, Belgian, German, Israeli and Australian mining corporations who have profited from the Pentagon's holocaust in the Congo. . .

Pentagon's 1033 Program: giving free Military Equipment to US Police

December 6, 2011 — The police in the United States have been steadily militarized over the past decade to the point of absurdity . . . Included in this distribution of military equipment are: armored vehicles . . . M-16 assault rifles, grenade launchers, helicopters and even military robots. . . this is a move toward de facto martial law, which means that martial law would never have to be formally declared since the police could act as military forces instead of actually having to roll out the military. . .

Comment: Congressman McDermott. "Those things in the Bill of Rights are being taken away from all of us!" America is now a police state.

The ATF believes the federal government has a right to regulate the use of Chore Boy? copper scouring pads by restricting your right to buy multiple boxes of copper scouring pads at your neighborhood supermarket and too much Fiberglas? insulation at your local home improvement store. . . the same agency tried to regulate 14" shoelaces as a machine gun-making "component" . . .

Bulging World!

December 17, 2011 — One year has passed since scientists noticed the Indo-Australian plate had begun to waver, unlocking the entire global system of tectonic plates, jammed securely against each other for several thousand years.

It was found that many of the tectonic plates move both horizontally and vertically beneath the oceans. The north-western edge of South America is moving toward the west, causing cracking of the Earth in Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and Central America, which are also influenced by movements of the Caribbean and Cocos plates.

The main areas currently suffering because of cracks in the earth are North America, north-west corner of South America, Central America and northern Vietnam and southern China.

Sunda Plate

The main reason for the huge flooding in Bangladesh, the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Cambodia, Pakistan, Thailand and Vietnam is not rain, [NOT Rothschild's climate change HOAX and carbon currency SCAM] but by the north-northeastern subduction of the Indo-Australian plate along the eastern Sunda arc which in turn is compressing the micro-plate Burma on the north and the micro-plate Sumatra in the south (geoq.ru; ias.ac.in).

The Sunda Plate supports most of Southeast Asia hence coastal cities such as Jakarta, Manila and Bangkok are suffering "intractable" flooding because the plate is tilting and the floodwaters are draining uagsream and inland rather than out to sea. The illustrations from California Institute of Technology here explain the flooding has nothing to do with the 'climate change' HOAX and everything to do with subsidence caused by plate techtonics.

China's rapid development has emphasized both the need for and problems associated with the extraction of groundwater for human consumption. In coastal cities such as Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong and Shanghai, where the groundwater accounts for 70% of the total water supply, saltwater intrusion has led to the contamination of fresh groundwater and in some instances the inability to irrigate important crops. In those areas of the most rapid urbanization—namely the Yangtze River Delta—the plains of Northern China and the Fen-Wei River region, there is an even greater problem associated with groundwater extraction, and that concerns the solidity of the ground itself. Cracks in the ground, which can cause sinkholes and significant damage to buildings and utilities, vary in depth in different areas because of the diverse thickness of the surface geological deposits.

Shanghai and Tainjen are the most affected cities, and they have been sinking slowly since as far back as 1920! Subsidence can be a major source of flooding in lowland areas and increases the risk of storms and storm surges.

Pacific islands that have joined the 'climate change' HOAX bandwagon feigning alarm, have created their own problems by irrigating crops with groundwater causing an ingress of seawater. Full story: wordpress.com

The Firmament of Heaven

By Jonathan Gray

You'll love this! And it will re-write history. It is being discovered that early civilized communities lived from the North Pole to the South Pole where now there is ice. And they enjoyed life in:

Some time ago, a man inside a bathyscope deep under the sea had a nasty accident. His hand was badly gashed. But it was a clean cut, so he pressed the wound shut and wrapped it around with a cloth. The surface crew wanted to bring him back up immediately for treatment, but this was not possible due to the fact that the bathyscope was pressurized to compensate for the heavy outside water pressure at that depth. Gradual decompression would take several hours. So it was decided that the diver should stay down until morning.

When he resurfaced, and the bandage was removed; what a surprise it was to discover the wound was well on the way to being healed! It seems that the original atmosphere, in the event of an injury, served to promote faster healing.

Now envision the water canopy around the earth. Think of the effect this would have upon the atmospheric pressure. An ancient document, in describing the pre-Flood earth, speaks of a "firmament" above the earth, encased by layers of water above and below it (Genesis 1:7-8).

Approximately eleven miles above the surface of our earth there exists a heat sink. It is between—130^oF and—180^oF at that elevation. Nearer to the earth it is warmer, and further from the earth it is warmer for at least some space. It is scientifically estimated that the canopy comprised a 10-20 foot thick layer of water, or compressed hydrogen, extending completely around the earth. The possibility of such a massive atmospheric envelope can be taken seriously. With such a canopy, the air pressure of the world before the Great Disaster would have been about twice what it is today.

Do we have evidence of this? Indeed, we do. In June, 1934, near London, Texas, by a waterfall on Red Creek, members of the Hahn family discovered a rock with wood protruding from it. They chiseled it open, exposing a hammer head. The petrified hammer was found in a layer of Cretaceous sandstone. The handle was fossilized with a blackened coal tip.

In the 1980s, this artifact was analyzed at the Batelle Laboratories in Columbus, Ohio, the same laboratory that analyzed moonstones. The elemental analysis showed it to be 96.6% iron, 0.74% sulphur, and 2.6% chlorine.

Physicists tell us that under today's atmospheric conditions you cannot compound chlorine with metallic iron. Yet here it is. Today, chlorine can be joined with iron as solid metal only in two atmospheres of oxygen pressure, and only in the absence of ultraviolet radiation. Of course, ultraviolet radiation would have been filtered out by the protective canopy.

Research indications are that the pre-Flood atmosphere is the only plausible explanation, for the forging of this metallic artifact. There is evidence that the oxygen ratio of the atmosphere was then 30%, compared with 21% today; and that the carbon-dioxide ratio was 2%, as against 0.035% today.

You ask, What changed this early environment? It was the Great Disaster, or Great Flood. This was an event of cosmic proportions. It wiped out the planet and reset all the clocks of nature. Whenever I lecture on this topic, people raise some brilliant questions. Here are few of them.

Question: On a nice bright cloudless day put on your scuba gear and slowly descend in clear ocean water. As you go down you will notice it getting darker and darker. At 650 feet (200meters) there's not enough light for photosynthesis. So if earth's mythic water blanket existed, no light would penetrate below 200 meters to allow plants to survive. But flood apologists need the "earth blanket" of water to be at least 200 meters to cover the earth in flood water.

Answer: Firstly, the "earth blanket" of water did NOT need to be at least 200 meters to later cover the earth in flood water. If we were to amass the amounts of water present on Earth, and assimilate the greater amount of water within the earth, this would leave the approximate remainder of a 10-20 foot thick lineal dimension double encasement of water in solid crystalline form as the canopy. Not 200 feet. Secondly, such a canopy would not decrease the amount of light shining upon the earth below. Rather, it would function as an invisible lenses around the planet, enhancing the reception of light.

Question: If the UV rays from the sun are kept from reaching the earth, then how would plants be able to photosynthesize?

If the ancient atmosphere blocked UV a, b, and c. then how did humans synthesize vitamin D? Individuals lacking adequate amounts of this essential vitamin are far from healthy, and would have a hard time living until 50, much less 1,000.

Without daily exposure to the UVb rays from the sun our bodies do not synthesize vitamin D. The only way to supplement this is through seafood, milk products, egg yolks, organ meats, and bone meal—things like that; all carnivorous. There are no known vegetal sources.

Answer: The Pre-Flood canopy filtered out "harmful" UV radiation, while permitting beneficial light rays through.

The "harmful" portion of UV is UVa. This wavelength is extremely short. UV b and UVc have longer wavelengths, which could penetrate the water of the canopy much easier. It is the b and c range, which benefit the skin, assist in the generation of vitamin D, and aid in photosynthesis.

Question: The same Question 2 could apply to vitamin B12, and the omega 3 fatty acids EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid), and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid). Where did we get these essentials in the paradise world?

Answer: Their assimilation would be assisted by the UVb and UVc.

Question: If the sun's light was transmitted fiber-optically by the canopy from the daylight side of the earth, around the curve of the canopy, to the darker night-time side of the earth, providing a subdued pink light at night, as you state, how could the stars still be visible (even in their magnified state they would still be vastly dimmed)?

Answer: The canopy was transparent. It would thus be invisible, forming a huge orbital lenses. The nature of the physics in the canopy would give a "photo-multiplier" effect; hence the stars could be seen with greater clarity than they are today.

Question: Also, how could anyone get a good night's sleep! The human body needs complete darkness in order to get a full night's sleep—for the brain to cycle through the various waveforms necessary for growth, repair, and rejuvenation.

Answer: The neurotransmitters generated in the brain by dominance of magenta light compensate in all these areas. More peaceful rest actually results.

Question: There is also the issue of flowering plants—a certain amount of complete darkness is needed in order for the plants to accurately set their calendars, even a nearby streetlight, or a brief flash of light would disrupt their clocks.

Answer: The "relative darkness" balanced by the gentle glow of magenta in the early a.m. hours would actually enhance plant production. This can be shown experimentally.

Question: What about certain nocturnal animals? Like the plants, even a small amount of light prevents them from entering their "active" phase (our daytime).

I used to do shark research, and the observation tank had around 30 sharks (nurse, reef, white tip, blue...) and a number of other tropical fish. In the beginning (before I got there) they used to turn off all of the lights each night when the zoo closed. Every morning they would find a new, expensive, tropical fish carcass (or pieces thereof) floating in the cage. The culprit was the lemon shark, and by turning out the lights they were allowing it to enter its nocturnal day or active hunting time. Only by keeping the shark tank partially lit at all times, and never allowing it to become completely dark, were they able to avoid having to move the lemon shark to a separate tank all its own.

Answer: The "gentle" magenta hues of the night hours would balance these nocturnal habits.

Question: This concerns the snake venom. Why would the ancient snakes inject a beneficial protein matrix, rather than venom? What purpose would this serve?

Answer: With the onset of physical degeneration, various maladies would befall mankind and other living creatures. Injection of this beneficial protein matrix (with its extremely complicated structure) would aid in recovery. This is not fantasy—but our real planet Earth the way it used to be. You and I now live on a damaged planet. But it was not always so, and it will no be this way for long.

Multiculturalism, Miscegenation & hybridizing of Species is accursed of God

One of our subscribers is engaged in a discussion with a radio presenter who told him "the Bible PROMOTES race mixing." I have been asked to "quote Scriptures where God promotes OR denigrates race mixing" and have drawn this brief history to present God's unchanging will and Word on this matter.

Genesis 1:11, "God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself upon the earth: and it was so".

Genesis 1:21, (24 and 25), "And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good."

Genesis 1:26-28, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created [ALL of] them [being omniscient]. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth".

This was God's foreknowledge of the whole of Adam's race; in His mind He envisioned all of us in theophany. The Hebrew word for create is 'bara' which means to create out of nothing as Rothschild and his bankster cronies create "credit." The Hebrew word for make is 'asah' which means to fashion from existing material, but in Genesis 1 God's "making" consisted in "speaking" or expressing His thoughts as Word. His thoughts are eternal and they are real, and His Word will not return void but will do what He purposed and accomplish the thing for which it was sent (Isaiah 55:11). That work finished there was not a man neither was there any animal nor vegetation on which they might feed.

It was like Isaiah 7:14 where He said, "Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." However it was not until 740-odd years that the virgin conceived and bore the Child who was the One Person of God manifest in virgin-born flesh (Isaiah 37:16; 44:24; 45:21; Colossians 1:15-18; 2:9; I Timothy 3:16).

In Genesis 2:1-7 God rested from all His Work which He created ('bara' out of nothing but His eternal thoughts) to make ('asah' from that existing material). He rested from speaking the Word that would live on planet Earth. Still there was no life on earth—not even Darwinian evolution of primordial ooze—but His creative Word that had been spoken must bring forth in its designated and decreed season and time during this thousand year rest, and because His thoughts are eternal and they are real He received the new title "Lord" God (Jehovah-Elohim) over a finished creation. Next in the Hebrew He 'yatsar' forms or squeezes Adam into shape, time and matter, and places in him "the breath of lives [plural], and the man becomes a soul living" in a material body activated by a spirit of mortal life.

Once His first son Adam is formed God receives the title Father, and will be Master or Lord over all of Adam's children to whom the Word of God so that they will become His children or junior 'elohim' (Genesis 1:11; Psalm 82:6; John 10:34-35). Then in Genesis 2:8-17 He causes mist to water the whole face of the ground and brings forth vegetation from the seed of His spoken Word, rivers, and a paradise east of Eden which he commands Adam to maintain and protect. Next God instructed Adam concerning the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the midst of the garden, warning that if he partakes of the Tree of Knowledge he will die.

These two Trees were not vegetation. Throughout Scriptures trees refer to persons as in Psalm 1, and Numbers 24:6 where Balaam described Israel as "trees of lign aloes which the Lord has planted." Thus the Tree Of Life must be the Person of Life, and that is, the theophany of God who is Jesus, the bread from heaven and source of eternal Life. He spoke of giving Himself and that if a man ate of Him he would never die (John 6 – 8). He proclaimed He knew Abraham and that before Abraham, He WAS. He prophesied that He Himself would give them living waters that if man drank he would never thirst again, but would live eternally. He showed Himself as the GREAT I AM. He is the Bread of Life, the Well of Life, the Eternal One and the TREE OF LIFE. He was back there in Eden in the midst of the garden even as He will be in the midst of the paradise of God.

When John the Baptist cried that the axe was laid to the root of all trees, he was not talking of simply natural trees, but of spiritual principles.

I John 5:11 says, "And this is the RECORD, that God has given to us eternal Life, and this Life is in His Son."

Jesus said in John 5:40: "And you will not come to Me that you might have Life." Thus the Record, God's Word, states plainly and clearly that LIFE, ETERNAL LIFE, is in the Son. It is no other place.

I John 5:12, "He who has the Son has LIFE; and he who does not have the Son of God does NOT have Life."

Now since the record cannot change, be taken from or added thereunto, then the Record stands that THE LIFE IS IN THE SON. . . Since this is so, THE TREE IN THE GARDEN HAS TO BE JESUS.

And if the Tree of Life is a Person, then the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is a person ALSO. It cannot be otherwise. Thus the Righteous One and the Wicked One stood side by side there in the midst of the Garden of Eden. Ezekiel 28:13a "You (Satan) have been in Eden, the garden of God."

God IS the Word, for the Logos is the expression of the fullness of His attributes seen in the created flesh of Melchisedec (Genesis 18) whom Abraham worshipped and who proved He was the Word by discerning the thoughts and intents of Abraham and Sarah's hearts, which is the Messianic sign that vindicated Jesus (Hebrews 4:12). As a created Man God wrestled with Jacob (Genesis 32), and appeared to Moses (Exodus 33:23) and Gideon (Judges 6), then veiled Himself in the virgin-born flesh of our Kinsman Redeemer, Jesus Messiah was vindicated Himself by the Messianic sign.

In Genesis 2:18-24, many years after God had finished creation and brought His creatures to the first Adam to name, He put him to sleep and took from his side a rib and in Hebrew He 'banah' re-built or modified it into the woman, which means man with a womb. Eve was NOT a spoken Word of God but a by-product of Adam, a suitable helpmate to serve and obey her husband. When God put the last Adam to sleep He took His wife, the "wise virgin" or elect Church, in the form of the Holy Spirit. We become one with God or born-again by receiving "the present Truth" from His Word which is Spirit in a form we can receive by faith; and faith is a clear understanding of the revealed Word which is the mind of God in you (John 6:63; I Peter 1:22-25; I John 1:7). It was not Adam who was deceived, for he was God's Word and could not be deceived on the Word, whereas the by-product is not Word and was made so she can deceive and be deceived. It was not Christ the Word who was deceived but His wife, the woman, the Church, who was deceived and required salvation.

The whole of creation is God's spoken Word . . . all but the woman. We are instructed not to add to or take from the revealed Word of God, which is Spirit and eternal Life, for when we hybrid His Word, as by sprinkling or pouring in three Titles instead of baptizing in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, or recite the Apostles' Creed (so-called), we have hybrid His unchanging Word from Life to DEATH (Revelation 22:18-19). The mule, liger and canola are hybrids, not part of God's creation: like creeds they are a perversion of His Word and will have no place in the renewed heavens and renewed earth. As Jesus told the Jews, "In vain do you worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Matthew 15:9).

In Genesis 3 we find Satan has inspired, possessed and incarnate the Serpent who had been a handsome giant man-like creature before God changed every bone in his body and cast him to the ground as He will shortly cast Satan down to earth. Eve knew that on this occasion it was not the Serpent with whom she was conversing but the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil incarnate in the Serpent. Satan did not try to deceive Adam on the Word, for it is impossible to deceive God's children on His revealed Word (Matthew 24:24; I John 3:6-10; 5:18). His sophistry appealed to Eve's pride of life, enquiring why she and her Husband had not obeyed God's command to "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it" (Genesis 1:28). So he pointed to the animals, flexed his great handsome body, and thinking she could teach her naive husband how to fulfill the command of God the woman was seduced (I Timothy 2:14-14).

It was not an apple that made Eve pregnant, nor was it an apple that caused she and her husband to recognize their nakedness. They did not cover their mouths with fig leaves, and God did not make them masks to cover their mouths but coats of lambskins to cover their genitals.

The original sin was not being "fruitful and multiplying" after their kind, but MISCEGENATION with the Serpent. The offspring of the Serpent was Cain who was accursed of God along with his seed. God placed "enmity" (Genesis 3:15) that is, HATRED between the descendants of Cain and the descendants of Adam. That "enmity" has permeated the nation since the repeal of its selective immigration laws demanded by sons of Cain, who boast of this great sin against the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel.

Do you now see why God approved Abraham's faith with the seal of fleshly circumcision, and why our Kinsman Redeemer, Jesus Christ, had to be born of a virgin apart from human male instrumentality? Had he been born of intercourse between Joseph and Mary He would have been the kinsman of every child in Adam's race as I am, and could have redeemed his near kinsmen in strife or debt, but without the virgin birth He could not have redeemed us from the curse of the original, sin which is DEATH, and made us joint heirs with God in eternal Life.

Because of the original sin there are two races on earth. Jesus Christ is the last Adam and kinsman Redeemer to everyone written in the Book of Life, which is the genealogy of the first Adam. He is NOT the last Cain, who along with everyone related to him is born without a redeemer. Multiculturalism invites miscegenation and a repetition of the original sin on a global scale "as it was in the days of Noah." Jesus prophesied miscegenation along with homosexuality would be the besetting sins in this the last generation before the consummation of Life (Genesis 6:1-4; Matthew 24:37; Genesis 18; Luke 17:28-30).

Luke 8:11, "The seed is the Word of God" that produces what was spoken. When we mix God's seed the hybrid is sterile, or the crop is misshapen, perverse and not the fruit of His Word "after its kind," and the natural types the Spiritual as Jesus expounded in Matthew 13, likening a hybrid wheat crop with today's hybrid Christians. Once they are "bound in [the World Council of Churches, Ecumenism, charismatic and interfaith groups] ready for the burning the wheat Bride will be gathered into His garner for the Wedding Supper of the Lamb".

Surely as mature adult men and women we can see that genetically modified organisms being imposed upon the world by firms like Monsanto are NOT God's Word and Life, but a satanic perversion and DEATH? Are we so mired in sin we can no longer discern that a cow with the genes of a fish, and a chook with rabbit DNA are not God's Word and Life, but DEATH?

Revelation 6:8, "I looked, and behold a sickly greenish-coloured horse: and the name of his rider is DEATH, and Hell followed with him. [This is Satan, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil on his final ride before the Millennium, and perdition. Jesus Christ returns on a white horse in Revelation 19, and His name is called "The Word of God" . . . LIFE]. And power was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with plague, and with the beasts of the earth [cruel men blooded in the slaughter of innocent civilians in the third world by the apostate United States, her fellow colonials of the city of London and the reviving Roman Empire of NATO, as Nimrod blooded his troops in the hunt]".

Miscegenation between the descendants of Cain and the children of Adam is GENOCIDE to Adam's race, for the offspring are physical Serpent's seed, not on the Book of Life, and born LOST. As nice as many of these people are, like all hybrids, they are DEAD. This was Satan's initial stratagem to usurp Michael's Kingdom of eternal Life with his own kingdom of perpetual life, death, and birth. Genesis 6:1-4 informs us "That the sons of God [Adam's race] saw the daughters of men [Cain's race] that they were beautiful; and they took them wives of all which they chose." Lust, and miscegenation.

Genesis 6:6-11: Because of miscegenation "the Lord repented having made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. [As "Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me? Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan" (Genesis 27:46 – 28:1). Because Hittites and Canaanites were Serpent's seed descended from Cain through Noah's wife's son Canaan]. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for I regret having made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence".

Noah and his three sons are contrasted with his contemporaries in that Noah was justified by his faith and escaped the judgment of the Flood which destroyed them (Hebrews 11:7), and their Adamic lineage was flawless (Genesis 5). Noah was the last of the Sethite patriarchs before the Flood, he is also the first of the new patriarchal line that continues through Shem, and a type of Christ, the finisher of the old, and author of the new world. After the Flood Canaan was born of incest (and miscegenation) between Noah's son Ham and the Serpent's seed Tubalcain's sister Naamah, whom Noah wed before the deluge (Genesis 9:18-24).

Genesis 6:17-20, "[The Lord God said]: behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and everything that is in the earth shall die. But with you I will establish My covenant; and you shall come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' wives with you. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shall you bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto you, to keep them alive".

In Genesis 10 we find the generations of Noah and his three sons in the Adamic line, and separately, the generations of Naamah's accursed Serpent's seed son, Canaan (Genesis 9:25) who are afterwards dispersed and scattered. The Hebrew word 'cherem' means "dedicated to utter destruction for the glory of the Lord as an affront to His holiness," and everyone related to Cain and Canaan is thereby accursed. They are not on the Book of Life and have no inheritance in this world or hope in the world to come. Like their father Cain, they are "wanderers" (Genesis 4:14)—today's "global community".

In Genesis 12 God made His covenant of grace with Abraham, and said "Get out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house to a land that I will show you." The land God gave to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Israel was Canaan. The Bible informs us that Isaac's son Esau, who had the birthright, married two Serpent's seed women, thus by foreknowledge God said before the lads were born, "I hate Esau," and called his descendants, who were forcibly assimilated with Judah by John Hyrcanus in 123BC, "the people against whom the Lord has indignation forever" (Malachi 1:4; Genesis 3:15). They are sworn to kill the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and are doing so as I write (Genesis 27:39-41), however the Lord God has His own plans for them (Isaiah 34; 63:1-6; Revelation 19:11-18).

In Deuteronomy 7:1-2 (20:16-17) God named the tribes descended from Canaan and commanded Moses and the children of Israel to "utterly destroy them" because they are 'cherem.' Intermarriage would be Spiritual Genocide to the Israelites because the offspring of such misalliances would not be in the Book of Life. But shortly after entering Canaan, Israel was deceived by the Hivites with whom they made a covenant without first consulting the Lord (Joshua 9).

Now we know that the birthright forfeited by Reuben passed to Joseph's son Ephraim and his tribe, while the sceptre was granted to the tribe of Judah through whom our Redeemer and Israel's future King was to come (I Chronicles 5:1; Genesis 49:10). But Judah married a Canaanite woman who bore him three Serpent's seed sons. Er married a good woman named Tamar, and he died childless; his brother Onan took her in Levitate marriage but spilled his seed on the ground, and God took his life. Shelah the youngest brother was not old enough to perform Levirate marriage to Tamar, and when he was grown his father Judah withheld him for fear he, too, might die. By this time Judah's Serpent's seed wife had died and he took Tamar, who had disguised herself, thinking she was a prostitute, and the lineage of Judah passed through her sons Pharez and Zarah (Genesis 38) whereby the Lord preserved the earthly lineage of our Saviour flawless from the first to the last Adam.

Four different Hebrew words have been translated "stranger" in the Authorized Version of the Bible. They are: (1) ger (2) toshabh (3) Nokriy, and (4) zuwr. One English word "stranger" thus translated from the four Hebrew words tends to obscure the true relationship required by God in dealing with other people.

I Kings 11:1-2, "But king Solomon loved many strange [Hebrew 'Nokriy'] women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; of the nations concerning which the Lord told the children of Israel, You shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love".

The word 'Nokriy' (ben nekhar), covers everything of alien or foreign character, regardless of the place of residence, and is defined by the context in which it appears. It embraces the Canaanites, who descended from Ham's incestuous behavior and the Moabites and Ammonites who descended from Lot's cohabitation with his own daughters. These Nokriy were strictly taboo with no rights or privileges in the Israel community. Their status was that of a bastard—in Hebrew, a "mamzer", meaning one of mixed or spurious origins—being specifically prevented by Divine Decree, from entering the congregation of the Lord even to his tenth generation (Deuteronomy 23:2-3). That is, never! While the subject of marriage between the ger and the toshabh is not mentioned, marriage with the Nokriy is positively forbidden (Genesis 24:3). The Serpent's seed are Nokriy.

The Hebrew word 'zuwr,' takes its definition, like the other words, from the context. The word appears in connection with enemy aliens or a foreign race (Serpent's seed) with no rights whatsoever in Israel. Even justice is denied the zuwr. In all Israel's national disasters, the zuwr is reckoned the main contributing factor. And in each of the following three examples this judgment has befallen Israel because, like Eve, Israel has broken God's Covenant. Isaiah 1:7, "your country is ruined and desolate, your cities are burned, and while you watch helplessly strangers (zuwr) destroy and plunder everything in sight . . ." Hosea 5:7, "They have dealt treacherously against the Lord, bearing strange (zuwr) children." Hosea 7:9, "Strangers (zuwr) have devoured his strength, and he knows it not." (See also Leviticus 26:16, 32; Isaiah 17:10; 25:2, 5; 28:21; 29:5, 43:12; 61:5).

In 458BC soon after Ezra returned to Jerusalem with the second wave of returnees from the Captivity in Babylon, he was approached by a deputation of leading citizens saying: "The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers have been chief in this trespass" (Ezra 9:1-2).

"And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange ['nokriy'] wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing. Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the Law. [Miscegenation is forbidden by God]. . . And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away [to Babylon]" (Ezra 10:2-3, 8).

Jesus Christ said, "When the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into ALL [the revealed] truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come" (John 16:13). He has had 2,000 years in which to do so, and since the apostolic faith has been restored (Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11) and "the mystery of God is finished" (Revelation 10:7), and this revelation is consistent from Genesis to Revelation it is inconceivable that one can be a Christian in this day and fail to receive a clear understanding of the original sin, and the wickedness of miscegenation.

At the end of His ministry Jesus confronted and indicted His adversaries the Edomite so-called Jews, identifying them as the children of Cain by Esau's miscegenation with his Hittite and Canaanite wives (Matthew 23:33-35).

Jesus said, "The dwellers of the earth whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, will marvel when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is" (Revelation 17:8). "And all who live on the earth except 144,000 elect Israelites whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life will worship the beast" (Revelation 13:8).

God separated the nations by topography, language, physical characteristics, cultural preferences, religious beliefs, and race, placing enmity between the seed of the woman and the seed of the Serpent. nl715.htm
