Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; we are pleased you could join us in Christian fellowship.

Please encourage our Brother ministering in the Dominican Republic by your prayers; he writes: "I have tried to witness to as many people as I have been able to but with very limited success. Most listen politely, some argue, yet not one has clearly stated that they understand that there is no "trinity" of persons and not one has pressed to be baptized in the precious Name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST as clearly directed in the Bible. I find that they are imprisoned in the mindset of the denominations to which they belong, these being obvious business operations. If they do not get out of Babylon they will deserve the castigation they will receive. As Bro. Branham indicated, in the end it will seem that we are preaching to the totally lost—and as such we are doing our job. The shame is that I believe there still are many" good" people amongst these inhabitants of present-day Sodom and Gomorrah. But as we know, "good" does not cut it!"

The Lord is only seeking that "one in a million" believers who is elect.

A Sister wrote: "I recognized a Message minister at the wailing wall stuffing a note!!! Online" . . . sounds like he is one of the 999,999 in a million.

Today we start with the transcript of two addresses by contributing Author Paul Craig Roberts delivered at the seventieth Yalta Conference in Russia. This is important and you must read the full story. Following this we have an excerpt from Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn's last book, "Two Hundred Years Together" in which he describes the conquest and occupation of Russia by non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews and their torture and cruel slaughter of more than 66 million Russian Christians. This is followed by the Jew-controlled US-NATO and Mossad coup in Ukraine and other items of current news.

Our main article, "Zechariah Chapter Thirteen," is set in the second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week after Rome's breach of covenant with the Jewish Banksters, the martyrdom of Israel's two prophets, and a second invasion of Israel with the cleaving of the Mount of Olives when the Lord stands and fights. The battle is the Lords and 12,000 elect Israelites from each tribe will be regenerated, not one of whom will be as so-called Jew.

The Neoconservative [Jewish] Threat to International Relations

By Paul Craig Roberts (Asst. Sec. of Treasury for Economic Policy, Reagan Administration).

February 27, 2015 — This week I was invited to address an important conference of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow. Scholars from Russia and from around the world, Russian government officials, and the Russian people seek an answer as to why Washington destroyed during the past year the friendly relations between America and Russia that President Reagan and President Gorbachev succeeded in establishing. All of Russia is distressed that Washington alone has destroyed the trust between the two major nuclear powers that had been created during the Reagan-Gorbachev era, trust that had removed the threat of nuclear Armageddon. Russians at every level are astonished at the virulent propaganda and lies constantly issuing from Washington and the Western media. Washington's gratuitous demonization of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has rallied the Russian people behind him. Putin has the highest approval rating ever achieved by any leader in my lifetime.

Washington's reckless and irresponsible destruction of the trust achieved by Reagan and Gorbachev has resurrected the possibility of nuclear war from the grave in which Reagan and Gorbachev buried it. Again, as during the Cold War the specter of nuclear Armageddon stalks the earth.

Why did Washington revive the threat of world annihilation? Why is this threat to all of humanity supported by the majority of the US Congress, by the entirety of the presstitute media, and by academics and think-tank inhabitants in the US, such as Motyl and Weiss, about whom I wrote recently?

It was my task to answer this question for the conference. You can read my February 25 and February 26 addresses below. But first you should understand what nuclear war means. You can gain that understanding here. [This will fulfill the last and seventh vision of Brother Branham's 1933 apocalypse: "I turned and looked, and I saw this United States burning like a smolder; rocks had been blowed up. And it was burning like a heap of fire in logs or something that just set it afire; and looked as far as I could see and she'd been blown up. And then the vision left me. Five out of the seven has happened" (The Seventy Weeks of Daniel, p. 135:212). "Russia has got to do that according to Revelation [17 – 18] . . . [Because of the sinfulness of the United States]. Russia is put out there for that very purpose. The Bible said so" (The Handwriting on the Wall, Vol. 14:7, p. 10:77-91)].

The Threat posed to International Relations by the Neoconservative Ideology of American Hegemony: Address to the 70th Anniversary of the Yalta Conference, Hosted by Institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Moscow State Institute of International Relations, Moscow, February 25, 2015, Hon. Paul Craig Roberts:

Colleagues,

What I propose to you is that the current difficulties in the international order are unrelated to Yalta and its consequences, but have their origin in the rise of the neoconservative ideology in the post-Soviet era and its influence on Washington's foreign policy.

The collapse of the Soviet Union removed the only constraint on Washington's power to act unilaterally abroad. At that time China's rise was estimated to require a half century. Suddenly the United States found itself to be the Uni-power, the "world's only superpower." Neoconservatives proclaimed "the end of history."

By the "end of history" neoconservatives mean that the competition between socio-economic-political systems is at an end. History has chosen "American Democratic-Capitalism." It is Washington's responsibility to exercise the hegemony over the world given to Washington by History and to bring the world in line with History's choice of American democratic-capitalism.

In other words, Marx has been proven wrong. The future does not belong to the proletariat but to Washington.

The neoconservative ideology raises the United States to the unique status of being "the exceptional country," and the American people acquire exalted status as "the indispensable people."

If a country is "the exceptional country," it means that all other countries are unexceptional. If a people are "indispensable," it means other peoples are dispensable. We have seen this attitude at work in Washington's 14 years of wars of aggression in the Middle East. These wars have left countries destroyed and millions of people dead, maimed, and displaced. Yet Washington continues to speak of its commitment to protect smaller countries from the aggression of larger countries. The explanation for this hypocrisy is that Washington does not regard Washington's aggression as aggression, but as History's purpose.

We have also seen this attitude at work in Washington's disdain for Russia's national interests and in Washington's propagandistic response to Russian diplomacy.

The neoconservative ideology requires that Washington maintain its Uni-power status, because this status is necessary for Washington's hegemony and History's purpose.

The neoconservative doctrine of US world supremacy is most clearly and concisely stated by Paul Wolfowitz, a leading neoconservative who has held many high positions: Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Director of Policy Planning US Department of State, Assistant Secretary of State, Ambassador to Indonesia, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, Deputy Secretary of Defense, President of the World Bank.

In 1992 Paul Wolfowitz stated the neoconservative doctrine of American world supremacy:

"Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere which poses a threat on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union. This is a dominant consideration underlying the new regional defense strategy and requires that we endeavor to prevent any hostile power from dominating a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to generate global power."

For clarification, a "hostile power" is a country with an independent policy (Russia, China, Iran, and formerly Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, Assad).

This bold statement struck the traditional American foreign policy establishment as a declaration of American Imperialism. The document was rewritten in order to soften and disguise the blatant assertion of supremacy without changing the intent. These documents are available online, and you can examine them at your convenience.

Softening the language allowed the neoconservatives to rise to foreign policy dominance. The neoconservatives are responsible for the Clinton regime's attacks on Yugoslavia and Serbia. Neoconservatives, especially Paul Wolfowitz, are responsible for the George W. Bush regime's invasion of Iraq. The neoconservatives are responsible for the overthrow and murder of Gaddafi in Libya, the assault on Syria, the propaganda against Iran, the drone attacks on Pakistan and Yemen, the color revolutions in former Soviet Republics, the attempted "Green Revolution" in Iran, the coup in Ukraine, and the demonization of Vladimir Putin.

A number of thoughtful Americans suspect that the neoconservatives are responsible for 9/11, as that event gave the neoconservatives the "New Pearl Harbor" that their position papers said was necessary in order to launch their wars for hegemony in the Middle East. 9/11 led directly and instantly to the invasion of Afghanistan, where Washington has been fighting since 2001. Neoconservatives controlled all the important government positions necessary for a "false flag" attack . . .

While the neoconservatives were preoccupied for a decade with their wars in the Middle East, creating a US Africa Command, organizing color revolutions, exiting disarmament treaties, surrounding Russia with military bases, and "pivoting to Asia" to surround China with new air and naval bases, Vladimir Putin led Russia back to economic and military competence and successfully asserted an independent Russian foreign policy.

When Russian diplomacy blocked Washington's planned invasion of Syria and Washington's planned bombing of Iran, the neoconservatives realized that they had failed the "first objective" of the Wolfowitz Doctrine and had allowed "the re-emergence of a new rival . . . on the territory of the former Soviet Union" with the power to block unilateral action by Washington.

The attack on Russia began. Washington had spent $5 billion over a decade creating non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Ukraine and cultivating Ukrainian politicians. The NGOs were called into the streets. The extreme nationalists or Nazi elements were used to introduce violence, and the elected democratic government was overthrown. The intercepted conversation between Victoria Nuland and the US ambassador in Kiev, in which the two Washington operatives choose the members of the new Ukrainian government, is well known.

If the information that has recently come to me from Armenia and Kyrgyzstan is correct, Washington has financed NGOs and is cultivating politicians in Armenia and the former Soviet Central Asian Republics. If the information is correct, Russia can expect more "color revolutions" or coups in other former territories of the Soviet Union. Perhaps China faces a similar threat in Uyghurstan.

The conflict in Ukraine is often called a "civil war." This is incorrect. A civil war is when two sides fight for the control of the government. The break-away republics in eastern and southern Ukraine are fighting a war of secession.

Washington would have been happy to use its coup in Ukraine to evict Russia from its Black Sea naval base as this would have been a strategic military achievement. However, Washington is pleased that the "Ukraine crisis" that Washington orchestrated has resulted in the demonization of Vladimir Putin, thus permitting economic sanctions that have disrupted Russia's economic and political relations with Europe. The sanctions have kept Europe in Washington's orbit.

Washington has no interest in resolving the Ukrainian situation. The situation can be resolved diplomatically only if Europe can achieve sufficient sovereignty over its foreign policy to act in Europe's interest instead of Washington's interest.

The neoconservative doctrine of US world hegemony is a threat to the sovereignty of every country. The doctrine requires subservience to Washington's leadership and to Washington's purposes. Independent governments are targeted for destabilization. The Obama regime overthrew the reformist government in Honduras and currently is at work destabilizing Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Argentina, and most likely also Armenia and the former Central Asian Soviet Republics.

Yalta and its consequences have to do with Great Power rivalries. But in the neoconservative doctrine, there is only one Great Power?the Uni-power. There are no others, and no others are to be permitted.

Therefore, unless a modern foreign policy arises in Washington and displaces the neoconservatives, the future is one of conflict. It would be a strategic error to dismiss the neoconservative ideology as unrealistic. The doctrine is unrealistic, but it is also the guiding force of US foreign policy and is capable of producing a world war.

In their conflict with Washington's hegemony, Russia and China are disadvantaged. The success of American propaganda during the Cold War, the large differences between living standards in the US and those in communist lands, overt communist political oppression, at times brutal, and the Soviet collapse created in the minds of many people nonexistent virtues for the United States. As English is the world language and the Western media is cooperative, Washington is able to control explanations regardless of the facts. The ability of Washington to be the aggressor and to blame the victim encourages Washington's march to more aggression . . .

Just as 9/11 served to launch Washington's wars for hegemony in the Middle East, 9/11 served to create the American police state. The Constitution and the civil liberties it protects quickly fell to the accumulation of power in the executive branch that a state of war permitted. . . It was not long before the director of Homeland Security declared that the department's focus has shifted from Muslim terrorists to "domestic extremists," an undefined category . . .

Comment: Revelation 13:11-13, "I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth [USA]; and he had two horns like a lamb [church and state], and he spoke as a dragon [Rome, the beast that rose up from the sea]. And he exercises all the power of the first beast [Imperial Rome] before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, who's deadly wound was healed [when Imperial Rome became Papal Rome]. And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men [Hiroshima and Nagasaki].

200 Years Together Russian-Jewish History

By Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn

In 1926 a professor gave a "remarkable speech" in which he described the dispossession of the Russians:

William Branham

We have isolated expressions of hooliganism . . . Its source is hurt national feelings of Russians. The February Revolution established the equality of all citizens of Russia, including Jews. The October Revolution went further with the Russian nation proclaiming self-renunciation. A certain imbalance has developed with respect to the proportion of the Jewish population in the country as a whole and the positions they have temporarily occupied in the cities. We are in our own cities and they arrive and squeeze us out. When Russians see Russian women, elders and children freezing on the street 9 to 11 hours a day, getting soaked by the rain in their tents at the market and when they see relatively warm covered Jewish kiosks with bread and sausage they are not happy. These phenomena are catastrophic . . . There is a terrible disproportion in the government structure, in daily life and in other areas . . . We have a housing crisis in Moscow—masses of people are crowding into areas not fit for habitation and at the same time people see others pouring in from other parts of the country taking up housing. These arrivals are Jews. A national dissatisfaction is rising and a defensiveness and fear of other nationalities. We must not close our eyes to that. A Russian speaking to a Russian will say things that he will not say to a Jew. Many are saying that there are too many Jews in Moscow. This must be dealt with, but don't call it anti-Semitism.

Notice particularly the comment that Russians were supposed to engage in "self-renunciation"—precisely what we see now in the common expectation that Whites are expected to accept their dispossession without complaint because of their complicity in the pre-revolutionary, traditional culture of America. As would also happen in contemporary America, the speech was quickly denounced as nothing more than "anti-Semitism." Those who opposed the dispossession of the Russians or criticized the position of the Jews were framed as counter revolutionaries. "And for counter-revolutionaries there is 9 grams of lead—that much is clear". Full story: sunray22b.net

Comment: Alexandr was there. He knew them close up and personal. It was not pretty. If you think it is all finished, look at the way Jews like Joe Slovo used Nelson Mandela to break South Africa's government with immense Media approval.

What's behind Ukraine's Secret Weapons Deal with the UAE?

February 25, 2015 — US President Barack Obama apparently is going ahead with his plan for NATO missiles to be placed in Ukraine aimed against Moscow . . . On Tuesday, 24 February 2015 . . . Poroshenko placed the finishing touches on the purchase of Western, mainly US, weapons, via the UAE . . . paid for by Western taxpayers, via IMF 'loans' to Ukraine . . . a bankrupt country . . . the US aristocracy has, for at least 70 years, been allied with Sunni aristocracies . . . Whereas Russia's aristocrats bonded instead with Shia Iran . . . Ukraine has now joined the Sunni alliance . . . with Obama's blessing . . . the person who had kept the financial books for Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda during the period leading up to 9/11 . . . provided sworn testimony recently, in a US prison where he has been held incommunicado for more than a decade in order to protect Saudi and other Sunni royals . . . he explained in detail the profound interdependency between the Wahhabi clergy and the Saud family, and the resulting dependency that Al Qaeda had upon both that clergy and that royal family, so that even the other Sunni royal families (such as in Qatar, Bahrain, and UAE) are beholden to the Saudi royal family and its Wahhabist clerics. In other words: the US aristocracy's alliance with the Sauds explains an important part of the reason why the US Government's explanation of 9/11 is based upon lies.

A little-noticed news story in Al-Monitor, on 27 January 2015, from Bruce Reidel, reported that, "Feb. 14 marks the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the US alliance with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. On Feb. 14, 1945, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt met with King Abdul-Aziz bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud in Egypt and the two forged a partnership that has endured despite occasional severe strains for the last 70 years." Reidel went on:

Barack Obama wants to continue the program that George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and G.W. Bush worked on before him, to surround Russia with NATO missiles. The takeover of Ukraine, and the enlistment of the Arabic oil sheikhs in assisting to further turn the screws against Russia, are key components in doing that: crushing Russia's resistance to US domination.

Whereas, for FDR, the alliance with Sunni Islam was purely anti-communist, against the Soviet Union, the US Presidents after 1980 were and are anti-Russian, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with ideology. The US aristocracy intend to dominate the aristocracy in every other nation, and Russia is the only militarily powerful nation that is opposed to being controlled by this global Empire . . . the US ends up being allied with Islamic terrorists, while accusing Russia of backing 'terrorists' in the former Ukraine, whose only crime is that they don't want to be slaughtered . . . the IMF . . . [is] 100% behind Obama's Ukrainian proxy war against Russia. This is where the money will come from to finance Ukraine's acquisition of more weapons to exterminate or else drive out the residents in the area of Ukraine that had voted 90% for the democratically elected Ukrainian President that Obama overthrew . . . Pensions are now set to be halved, even in the greatly depreciated Ukrainian currency; and public schooling is to be reduced to only 9 years. All of that IMF (and US, and EU) money goes instead to pay to mass-murder the residents in Ukraine's former Donbass region, the area shown on this map in which the residents voted 90% for Viktor Yanukovych, whom Obama overthrew, and where all of the residents are officially 'terrorists' . . .

Comment: Do you recognize "the image unto the beast" when you see it? The economic 'squeeze' now being applied to Russia will soon become a spiritual 'squeeze' upon YOU, Christian.

Both before and after Crimea left Ukraine and joined Russia in a public referendum on 16 March 2014, the Gallup Organization polled Crimeans on behalf of the US Government, and found them to be extremely pro-Russian and anti-American, and also anti-Ukrainian . . . Both polls were done on behalf of the US Government, in order to find Crimean's attitudes toward the United States and toward Russia, and also toward Ukraine, not only before but also after the planned US coup in Ukraine, which occurred in February 2014 but was actually kicked off on 20 November 2013, the day before Ukraine's democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych publicly announced that Ukraine had received a better economic offer from Russia's Eurasian Economic Community than from America's European Union . . . he didn't know the extent to which the US Government had set up an operation to overthrow him if he didn't go along with the EU's offer. (If some of these basic historical facts don't come through from the Wikipedia articles alone, that's because the CIA is among the organizations that edit Wikipedia articles, and so wikipedia is unwittingly a political propaganda vehicle. It is especially used for propaganda by the CIA and FBI).

More recently, a poll of Crimeans was issued on 4 February 2015, by the polling organization GfK, and paid for this time by the pro-American-Government Canadian Government, via its Canada Fund for Local Initiatives, and via Free Crimea, which is itself funded by the latter organization . . . got no better news . . . to put it simply: 93% approve.

During the 16 March 2014 public referendum in Crimea, 96% voted to rejoin Russia. One question on the post-referendum, April 2014, US-sponsored Gallup poll in Crimea, was headlined, "Perceived Legitimacy of March 16 Crimean Referendum" (on page 28 of the poll-report) . . . 96% were for annexation to Russia . . . the April 2014 Gallup poll . . . 76.2% of Crimeans saying that the role of the US was "Mostly negative," while Crimeans' attitudes towards Russia were the exact opposite: 71.3% said Russia's role was "Mostly positive" . . . anyone who says that Russia "seized Crimea," is clearly lying or else is fooled by people who are . . . actually, Obama overthrew Ukraine's Government and replaced it with one run by racist-fascist (or Nazi) haters of Russia, who were setting up to yank the remaining years on Russia's lease of its crucial Black Sea Naval Base in Crimea, and the Crimeans were imminently fearing a Ukrainian invasion . . .

Berlin and Paris look East: How Close are we to a Common Economic Space?

March 2, 2015 — Leaders of EU powers are realizing the US is instigating a conflict with the Russians that Washington wants them to fight and waste resources that would weaken the EU and Moscow to Washington's benefit. Smaller EU powers have been vocal about this while the larger ones have been slower in realizing it.

Greece refused to fall in line when the EU released a statement blaming Russia for the eruption of the fighting in the East Ukrainian city of Mariupol on January 24, 2015. Athens refused to blame Moscow and complained that the EU acted undemocratically by not even following its own procedures by asking for the consent of all members before releasing a statement on behalf of the collective. Instead of confrontation with Russia, the Greek government wants closer ties with Moscow.

President Putin's February 2015 visit to Budapest ruffled feathers in the EU and US. Hungary has been vocal in opposition to the EU sanctions against Russia. This has outraged some in the Washington Beltway and European Commission . . . Cypriot Present Nicos Anastasiades has joined the revolt against Brussels and Washington by visiting Moscow on February 25, 2015. Nicosia and Moscow even signed an agreement allowing the Russian Navy to use Cypriot ports.

Germany and France—once mocked as "old Europe" . . . are having second thoughts too. Franco-German differences with the US emerged at the Munich Security Conference at the Bayerischer Hof Hotel when German Chancellor Angela Merkel rebuffed members of the US and British delegations about a military solution for Ukraine. In this context, Paris and Berlin rehashed the Kremlin's original peace proposal for East Ukraine and began diplomatic talks in Moscow. Merkel casually also mentioned she supported a Common Economic Space too: a sign of things to come? Full story: rt.com

NATO invents Russian Threats in Baltic – but Putin's next Big Play is Greece

February 22, 2015 — While mainstream media promulgate a fictitious message of Russian threats in the Baltic, Vladimir Putin's next big play lies far to the south, writes Oliver Tickell. The gross intransigence of the EU, the IMF, the European Central Bank and Germany are forcing Greece into a powerful new economic and energy alliance with Russia that will reshape Europe—and for the better.

We could see Greece simply renouncing its manifestly unpayable and unjust ?320 billion national debt, and quitting the Eurozone straitjacket—while receiving an emergency liquidity package from Russia to support the launch of the New Drachma . . . the EU, the European Central Bank, the IMF and European finance ministers have already been doing all the destabilisation that's needed—forcing Greece into a deep programme of austerity that has seen the economy shrink by 25% over five years, the closure of vital public services, mass unemployment and the forced sell-off of public assets.

And now the Greeks—and their newly elected Syriza government—have had enough. This week the Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras flatly refused to renew the ?240 billion 'bailout' package, which comes with all the austerity strings, and he today advanced proposals for a 'six-month assistance package' free of harsh conditions to give Greece time to renegotiate its debt.

The standoff continues, and will be decided tomorrow by EU finance ministers. It's not looking good: Germany has already stated that the Greek proposal "does not meet the conditions." But if the finance ministers don't agree . . . Tsipras will turn to Russia. Earlier this month Tsipras and Putin agreed on a range of bilateral ties, including the construction of a pipeline that would carry Russian natural gas from the Turkish border across Greece to the other countries of southern Europe.

This follows the re-routing of the 'South Stream' pipeline, which had been due to cross Bulgaria but was effectively blocked by the EU's retrospective application of energy market rules, under heavy pressure from the USA. Last November and December Putin negotiated the pipeline's realignment across Turkey with Turkish President Erdogan—right up to the Greek border.

Following the agreement between Putin and Tsipras, which came complete with an invitation to Moscow on Victory over the Nazis day, 9th May, the pipeline link to the major countries of southern Europe is now complete, at least on paper. And once it's built, Greece will effectively control—and profit from—that gas supply, and take a strategic position in Europe's energy landscape . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

US Government Moves on Nationwide Adult Vaccination

February 22, 2015 — Published on February 6, 2015 amid the "measles outbreak" media frenzy, the HHS is accepting "public comment" on its Draft National Adult Immunization Plan (NAIP) until March 9, 2015. Under the NAIP, all adult American citizens will be compelled to receive current and retroactive vaccination regimens that may amount to several dozen "shots" per individual during their "catch-up" phase. Under the federally-mandated immunization schedule children presently receive 49 vaccines before the age of six . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Zechariah Chapter Thirteen

Citizens of belligerent modern Israel are mainly non-Semitic, anti-Semitic so-called Jews, Semitic Palestinians, and a few blood Israelites (treated as second class citizens). The Jews are realists convinced of the inevitability of war (of their own making), armed to the teeth by ignorant nominally Christian colonials of 'the City of London' and occupied Germany. They live under the delusion of victory, but two thirds of them will be exterminated or flee Israel as they fled Europe, enabling genuine blood Israelites to return to the land of the Covenant for their redemption and inherit the Jews' infrastructure as their forefathers took possession of infrastructure built by the Jebusite, Canaanite and Hittite forebears of those imposters. Within this third 144,000 will be the elect of God.

When Rome abrogates her agreement with the Jewish banksters after the first three and a half years of Daniel's Seventieth Week their Black Nobility will forsake the revived Holy Roman Empire, re-communize Russia and utterly destroy Vatican City State and the United States, causing Armageddon with the consummation of life (Daniel 9:27; Revelation 18:1-20). Brother Branham said, "Women given the right to vote elected President-elect Kennedy—the woman's vote. The wrong man, which will finally be to full control of the Catholic church in the United States; then the bomb comes that explodes her. . . No wonder the vision of the Lord says here that I saw it finally come to a spot where she was just one big smoldering heap. She was blown up. . ." (Hybrid Religion, p. 6:6; 21:7). Not long ago Israel threatened every European capital with nuclear annihilation under their "Sampson option," ignoring the fact that Sampson was an Israelite anointed of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, he was not a Jew.

Talmudic Jews under the delusion they are Israelites regard non-Jews as insects or human cattle culled with impunity whose possessions belong to their "master race." Contrary to Moses, they claim the boundaries of a 'greater' Israel from the Nile to the River Euphrates, embracing most of Egypt's arable land, all of Jordan, Lebanon and Kuwait, parts of Turkey and much of Saudi Arabia, Syria and Iraq. God commanded Moses and the Israelites, whom the so-called Jews impersonate, "You shall not covet . . . anything belonging to your neighbour" (Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 2:5, 9). "Covetousness is idolatry" (Colossians 3:5; Zechariah 13:2), the besetting sin of this people (Exodus 32:1-4). "Willing to justify himself, [the rich young Jew] asked Jesus, Who is my neighbour" (Luke 10:29)? These racist supremacist impersonators consider only fellow Jews as neighbours; whereas Jesus Messiah stated, every man with whom we live or chance to meet, irrespective of his race or religion is our neighbour. Jews regard the Jewish people as their own Messiah, and that according to the Talmud and The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, they will one day rule the world from Jerusalem, as per Illuminati plans for Lucifer's totalitarian one world order espoused by modern Israel's first Prime Minister, David ben Gurion (Isaiah 14:12-17; Daniel 11:45; Look Magazine, January 16, 1962). But Brother Branham said, "I believe one of these days when the united confederation of church goes together and the new pope is brought out of the United States and put over there [in Jerusalem] according to prophecy, then they'll form an image like unto the beast" (Acts of the Holy Spirit, p. 12:87). For the times of the Gentiles" extend to the consummation (Daniel 9:27).

The tragic deficiency of 'Israelis' is hubris: the very word 'Israeli' is a statement that they are not Israelites; the presumption they are the lineal blood descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and g_d's "chosen people," the assumption that they are even a Semitic people, the pretense that Judaism is the faith of Moses and the Old Testament prophets, and that Israel is not now and will not remain under Gentile dominion, is hubris. Moses, the Prophets and their own most eminent scholars state that these so-called Jews are natural Israel's sworn enemy (Genesis 27:39-41), and that as converts to their Judaeo-Roman Catholic church they will martyr Israel's elect.

The 144,000 elect blood Israelites will be born-again then purged during the Great Tribulation and surrender their lives as Christian martyrs (Daniel 12:7, Matthew 27:25, Revelation 6:11, 12:17; 14:1-5). Israeli self-styled Jews overlook the fact modern Israel will be overrun at the close of the Gentile dispensation and two thirds of her population cut off, that is to say, killed; while the elect Israelites will be "brought through the refining Fire of God's Holy Spirit and their newfound faith in Jesus Messiah tried unto death" (Zechariah 13:8-9; Matthew 23:39; 24:13; Revelation 6:11; 16:19).

All 144,000 elect natural Israelites will receive the revelation, repent and be justified and sanctified under the feast of Trumpets ministered by the two Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4, Matthew 24:31 and Revelation 11:3-6 in the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week. "And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication [following the martyrdom and resurrection of the two prophets in the second half of the Seventieth Week (Revelation 11:7-12) as foretold in Zechariah 12:10 – 13:1]: and they look shall upon Me [God] whom they have pierced (Psalm 22:16; Matthew 27:25; John 19:37; Revelation 1:7), and they shall mourn for Him [Jehovah-Messiah], as one mourns for his only son, and be in bitterness for Him, as one who is in bitterness for his firstborn. In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the [royal] family of the House of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of [David's son] Nathan apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of [Levi's grandson] Shimei apart, and their wives apart; all the remaining families, every family apart, and their wives apart".

"In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the House of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem [signifying the whole nation] for sin and for uncleanness"—as the Levites were sprinkled with water mixed with the ashes of a red heifer as a purification from sin (Numbers 8:7; 19:17), and the people were sprinkled to remove uncleanness when contaminated by contact with death so the Israel nation is defiled by their deicide of Messiah. [Because of this the Lord allowed Moses to institute a second Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month (Numbers 9:6-11)]. This Old Testament ritual was the natural type for Ephesians 5:26, "sanctification and cleansing with the washing of water by the Word" signifying revelation by the Holy Spirit cleansing the soul from sin. Zechariah refers to the third of the sixfold purposes of Gabriel's instructions: "to make reconciliation for iniquity" which will be fulfilled in Daniel's Seventieth Week to return Israel to divine fellowship and bring in the glorious millennial reign wherein the Kingdom is restored to Israel (Acts 1:6; Isaiah 9:7).

Our type is Genesis 44 – 45 where Joseph spoke in a strange tongue and addressed his brethren through an interpreter, dismissing his servants and sending his wife and children into the palace before he revealed himself as the one they had sold to slavers causing their father to believe he was dead. When confronted by their evil, his brothers "made reconciliation for iniquity." O, do you see the type of Jesus Messiah and sense the pathos as 144,000 elect Israelites confront the cruelty of sin, and the penalty that it cost to rid sin from their lives? The second or 'parousia' Coming of Jesus Messiah to Israel—murdered by their forefathers but alive evermore—will sear their consciences as with a hot iron, and as He consoles them they will fulfill Leviticus 16, Daniel 9:24, Zechariah 13, and Revelation 15:2-4.

Before the first Gentile world kingdom fell, the hand of God wrote its doom in unknown tongues on the wall of Belshazzar's palace and interpreted the meaning of those words through His prophet Daniel. And before the last Gentile world kingdom falls He has revealed the doom of Rome, "mystery Babylon the Great," by His prophet William Branham who interpreted the unwritten voices of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10 in the Seventh Seal that "finished the mystery of God." And as Joseph's Bride was hidden in the palace and his servants dismissed before he revealed Himself to his brethren, Christ's Bride must be translated and His two servants dismissed (Revelation 11:7-12) before He reveals His second or 'parousia' Coming to "they which pierced Him"; only then can His 144,000 elect brethren "make reconciliation for iniquity".

After Brother Branham read Zechariah 13:1 he said, "There shall be a house open"—this brought Ezekiel 43:1-12 to my mind where this ancient sage saw the Shekinah return to a "House not made with hands"—the regenerated House of Israel or millennium Temple of 144,000 glorified Israelites indwelt by the Spirit of the Lord—not a stone third temple promoted by the Temple Mount Terrorists and their "idol shepherds" in Message circles (Isaiah 54:1-5; Amos 9:9-12; Acts 15:13-16).

Speaking of His 'parousia' Coming to Israel Jesus said, "Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in the sky: and all the tribes of the Earth [who rejected Him will] mourn [and hide themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; and say to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb when they are pricked in their conscience. And three and a half years later the 144,000 will] see [by belated revelation that] the Son of man has come in Clouds of the Shekinah with power and great glory" (Isaiah 13:6-10; 34:4; 54:10; 64:1-2; Jeremiah 4:24; Ezekiel 38:20; Joel 2:1-2; Micah 1:3-4; Nahum 1:5-6; Habakkuk 3:6; Zechariah 14:4-5; Matthew 24:3, 30-31; Acts 1:9-11; Revelation 1:7; 6:14-17; 16:20).

The blindness of rabbinical unbelief that made the "fountain opened" in Jesus' side "a fountain sealed" (Song of Songs 4:12; Psalm 36:9; Matthew 15:9) will be removed when the revelation of the Seven Trumpet mysteries pours its Life-giving waters upon penitent hearts (Ezekiel 47:1-10) in the second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week. Then Israel will be born-again as a nation in one day "and it will come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem" (Isaiah 4:4-6; Isaiah 66:8; Ezekiel 36:25-28; Joel 3:21; Zechariah 12:3-9; 13:2). In the first half of the Seventieth Week Israel will be defeated (Zechariah 14:2). The prophecies of Zechariah 12 and 13 focus on the final deliverance and salvation of Israel that will take place in the second half of the Week after their revelation of Zechariah 14:3-5.

After the "fountain is opened" to the 144,000 by revelation in Zechariah 12:10 – 13:1 the following six verses announce a complete extirpation of idolatry and immorality that have always been the chief and most dangerous sins throughout the history of the Old Covenant people, and they will shudder at the mention of their names.

Zechariah 13:2-6, "And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will no longer be remembered: and I will also remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land. And it will come to pass, that when any [imposter] yet prophesies, then his father and mother who gave birth to him will say, You shall not live; for you have spoken falsely in the Name of the Lord: and his father and mother who gave birth to him will pierce him when he prophesies. And also it will come to pass in that day, when they prophesy each prophet will be ashamed of his vision; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive".

"[False] prophets" speak in the Name of the Lord without the authority of THUS SAITH THE LORD as apparent from their association with idols and "the spirit of uncleanness." The satanic verses of Judaism's Talmud are idolatrous false prophecy for the Logos alone is God (Matthew 15:1-9) and the punishment of false prophets prescribed in Deuteronomy 13:6-10 and 18:20 is emphatic. Zealous parents will be the first to slay the pretenders (Matthew 10:34-41; Luke 12:51-53); ashamed of their unauthorized prophecies they will strip off the outward hair cloth mantle worn as "wolves in sheep's clothing" to act out a parable of repentance and righteous grief for the sins they were supposedly commissioned to reprove.

One such deceiver, seized by some zealous vindicator of the Law and charged with his crime seeks to deny his identity by claiming, "I am a herdsman, [an occupation inconsistent with that of a prophet]; this is no recent circumstance as I was sold into bondage as a youth." The interrogator still suspects him and questions, "If you have never pretended to be a prophet, whence come those wounds between your hands?" This miserable pretender to prophecy, whose breast is marred with the scars of reasonless wounds received in idolatry, vainly attempts to falsify their origin by claiming, "Those with which I was chastised in the house of my loving relatives."

This man was a pagan with no knowledge of the doctrine of substitution or vicarious atonement by grace through faith. His conscience of sin and punishment was aroused, and believing the God or gods will exact some kind of retribution, he reasons that if he inflicts it on himself he may forestall or diminish their action. We see this ignorance in the self-works of Judaism and the Roman mass, penance, novenas, indulgences, fastings, flagellation and mortifications cheerfully endured as compensations for guilt when "by one offering Christ has perfected forever those who are sanctified . . . and their sins and iniquities He will remember no more. Now where there is remission of these things there is no longer any offering for sin" (Hebrews 10:14, 17-18; Romans 8:1-3; I John 3:9).

Thus the transition from recounting the evasions of a pretender after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week to a dramatic representation of the divine affliction of the good Shepherd: the true Prophet and teacher, the faithful Shepherd whose scars are real and significant, who was not only wounded but slain, and whose death was the salvation of His flock. This dreadful realization confronts the elect 144,000 when they recognize His second or 'parousia' Coming to Israel and understand it was God Himself who aroused the Sword in its scabbard, pointed it at His Fellow and gave the command to "thrust through" their Kinsman Redeemer in substitution for His sheep (Acts 2:22-23).

Zechariah 13:7-9, "Awake, O sword [signifying the judicial power of Rome and the Sanhedrin who had the power to take life (John 19:11)], against My Shepherd, and against the Man that is My Fellow [or equal: Jesus of the New Testament is Jehovah of the Old], says the Lord of hosts: [I Myself will] smite the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered: and I will cause My hand to return in grace for good upon the [144,000] little ones. And it will come to pass, that in all the land in which the Lord had undertaken the office of a shepherd (Zechariah 12:12) that two thirds of Israel will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in the land, says the Lord. But I will bring the remaining third into the fire of the great tribulation, and make [an election] pure as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tried. They will call on My Name [when Rome and her allies send their troops to destroy all the God-fearing, Word-abiding Israelites after she breaks her covenant with the Jewish banksters], and I will answer: This is My people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God".

Jehovah's "Shepherd" and Equal, the perfect Man in whom is no fault, is contrast with the rabbinical "foolish shepherds," particularly those who will convert to Judaeo-Romanism in "the time of Jacob's trouble." Zechariah 11:15, 17 resumes the prophecy of His betrayal in Zechariah 11:4, 10, 13 and 14, Israel's subsequent punishment, and why He who came to be a blessing was cut off while bestowing the blessing. Messiah's smiting caused His disciples to forsake Him (Matthew 26:31), and scattered His sheep (Zechariah 11:4; Matthew 16:24-25; 26:31; John 16:32; Romans 11:7; II Timothy 3:12; I Peter 4:12); not the Judas goats, but the elect "wretched of the flock" (Zechariah 11:7, 11) enabling them to escape death and spread the Gospel within their hearts by the universal language of Greek along Roman roads to the far corners of the Empire. When Titus' legions besieged Jerusalem there was mass starvation in which cannibalism widely occurred (Leviticus 26:29; Jeremiah 19:9). Josephus, a personal witness to the events, claims that over 1,100,000 people were killed during the initial siege; 97,000 survivors were captured and enslaved, and many fled to areas around the Mediterranean. Titus reportedly refused to accept a wreath of victory, as there is "no merit in vanquishing people forsaken by their own God."

The people having forsaken and crucified God, God has forsaken the Israel nation until the last elect Gentile is baptized into Christ (Romans 11:25). He will resume His relation to fulfill the last of Seventy Weeks of prophetic years He allotted Israel counting "from the going forth of the Commandment to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem" in 445BC (Nehemiah 2:1-8).

At the close of the Gentile dispensation God's promise to Abraham that he should be "the father of the Gentiles" will be fulfilled and He will return to Israel (Genesis 17:5; Galatians 3:29). As Benjamin was born of Joseph's blood father and mother while he was saving the Gentile world "from a famine of bread, and a thirst for water," when God's "Shepherd" returns after marrying his Gentile Bride and "training their offspring in the way they should go so they will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6) He will gather 144,000 "little ones"—Israelites of the blood of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob born in the end of "[Israel's long] famine of hearing the Word of the Lord" (Amos 8:11)—not non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews. Two thirds of Israel's population will be cut off and die and an election will be refined and justified from the remaining third by testings as severe as those to which precious metals are subjected (Malachi 3:2-6). As Joseph explained to his brethren, "be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me hither: for God sent me before you to preserve life," the Lord Jesus will claim them as His people because when He reveals His parousia Coming, they will claim Him as their God (Zechariah 8:8; Jeremiah 24:7; Hosea 2:23; Revelation 15:3-4). nl879.htm
