We can only be Christians to the extent that we know what Jesus is doing now. We must be realistic and live in the PRESENT. We can't live our lives through the rear vision mirror of Grandpa's day. We must understand what happened in the past. Without history we have no anchor to our origins. And can't prove our promise of destiny.
History tells whence we came and where we're going. Every man on earth is controlled by history. Powerful concerns know this, which is why true history is not taught in schools, or in denominational churches. True history is too dangerous. It exposes evil men and their motives and objectives.
History is the result of deliberate policy, the long-term planning of men obscessed by power to whom money is a tool for buying men's souls. The love of money is a weakness, and the root of all evil. One cannot serve God and mammon.
One of the main characteristics of this materialistic age where every decision of business and government is resolved by a dollar value, world trade, user pays, privatisation, global village, etc, is its apparent lack of a unifying principle, and this is probably the main reason for the episodic view of history and of life. The idea that everything happens from day to day, a sort of "I wonder what will happen today?" outlook. As if night had the power to cancel the consequences of the previous day. As if our past does not determine our future.
But history is the concrete expression of philosophy. "In the beginning was the Word". If this statement is true then even a Materialistic Age has a philosophical basis. That is to say, even day to day events and appearances are the outcome of a continuous policy, which in turn derives from a definite belief. So far as the unthinking masses are concerned, this belief may be that there is nothing to believe in, apart from the "good" of employment and amusement.
But there is much evidence that this "belief" of the masses is the outcome of a policy designed to persuade it - a policy of attack against indigenous culture, carried on by subversive propaganda, and by cross-breeding. Multi-culturalism is really multi-racialism, intended to smash social cohesion by creating large cosmopolitan cities whose populations are recruited from all corners of the earth, under control of a powerful Elite.
Behind this policy there be the philosophy from which it derives. Just as the centuries of greatness of the British Isles, and Europe, for example, were the outcome of a belief, issuing in policy, in the Lord Jesus Christ. So the Welfare State is the outcome of the belief, issuing in policy, in the mission of a Chosen People who regard us as so many human cattle able to be culled, to rule One World.
Wicked men have fabricated church history as they have devised the false political history we are taught to believe as truth. Why? To disguise the plans and identities of the conspirators manipulating governments around the world.
Just take a look at what we're taught about World War II. The men who control Wall Street devised the war and managed both sides. It was merely a step toward introducing one world government, and was planned hundreds of years ago. They devised communism as a thesis, and Nazism as its antithesis, and brought them together in managed conflict to produce a predetermined history or synthesis. The UN was the outcome of this war. A devise of evil men to control a NWO global police state. Without controlled conflict, this NWO could not come about.
Millions of good men and women perished in that war, as they have in many other wars and revolutions such men orchestrated through the centuries, like so many pawns in a chess game. They care less more for the lives of a nation than for the life of a sparrow.
We're told Churchill was a hero when the opposite is the truth. He was a mere lackey of those who despise Christianity. We're taught to think of Roosevelt as a noble man when he was a communist, and like Churchill, a traitor to his country. Of course Hitler was no good, but he was the scape goat for the sins of masters more evil than he.
To identify policy in history, we must recognize individual events as links in a particular chain - a chain beginning somewhere in the past and extending into the future. But when we recognize the chain, we perceive also the core of intent.
For this cause the Devil hates the Books of Genesis and Revelation which show his beginning and his end. Everything can be traced to Genesis, the Book of beginnings. There in the garden of Eden stood the Spirit of God and by His side, the spirit of Lucifer. The Tree of Life, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
History describes the battle between these two spirits. We live in the closing days of history. Events are moving so rapidly, and the consummation of history so close to hand, it can never be written.
Study to show yourself approved of God, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. And shun profane and vain babblings of those who would rule over you. If you know your history, you will know those who control the past control the future. And you'll know they're not whom they claim to be, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Most people in the (once Christian) Western world have lost their identity. They know not Christ. They know not who they are. They are so deceived they actually believe "all men are created equal" when the Bible teaches us most men are not God's creation at all, but the offspring of Eve's adultery with the Serpent.
We live in perilous times, Brethren. The pace at which our Western civilization is approaching slavery with the living standards of Asia is frightening. That's what the NWO elite plan for those who are not eliminated. And why they want to confiscate your guns.

The messenger to the First or Ephesian Age was the prophet Paul. He wrote the New Testament, or "laid the foundation of revelation upon which the following angels and saints would build the Body of Christ". The messenger to the last or Laodicean Age was the prophet William Branham. He was the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11 and Acts 3:19-23 and the seventh angel of Revelation 3:14; 10:7, etc. His ministry was to RESTORE the hearts of the elect back to the faith of their apostolic fathers, FINISH the mystery of God as declared through the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began (Acts 3:19-23, Revelation 10:7; I Corinthians 13:10). The "mystery of God" is Christ, the FULLNESS of the Word, "that which is perfect". Jesus Christ is the mystery of God revealed. When He opened the Seven Seals, and revealed them to us through His prophet, William Branham, in 1963, that was His second Coming. Christ returned to earth in WORD Form, through the mouth of a prophet. This was the "Shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16, of Matthew 25:6, and Revelation 18:4, that calls His people out of the world church system into the Light of the fullness of the unadulterated Word. It went forth between March 17-24, 1963.
The second Coming of Christ is a "parousia", and not an "erchomai" Coming. It is not a Man but the fullness of the Word, and the Word of God comes only to a prophet. The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in _WORD_ Form. That was in 1963.
All Seven Church Ages are over. FINISHED! We're now in the "holy convocation", or fiftieth day of the Pentecostal Feast. Christ is calling His elect into the unity of the faith: into agreement with the fullness of the Word which IS Christ, for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. Denominational teaching IS the mark of the beast. Those who have this mark will be cast into the Lake of Fire at the end of the tribulation (Revelation 2:21- 23; 19:20; 20:10, etc.,)
There are many teaching sermons expounding this topic on Bible Believers' web Site. The key points are all indexed. I suggest you study some of these teachings, prayerfully taking them back to God's unchanging Word. Don't reject the teachings, because they contrast with what you've been taught to perceive as truth. Do as I suggest, and you'll find that we were taught "that which was in part". Part-Word and part-educated-GUESSWORK contrary to the Word of God. That's all that was revealed to man while the Bible was SEALED with Seven Seals.
Since the Seven Seals were opened by the Lord Jesus Christ in 1963 and the mystery of God was FINISHED when He revealed them through His prophet, "that which is perfect HAS come". Since we now have the FULLNESS of the Word, that which was in PART - PART-Word and a Mediator for IGNORANCE, in DONE away.
We have to find what part of God's Word Jesus is fulfilling NOW, and walk in the Light of that part until we see those Words living through us. Then we can have the assurance that we are written epistles, read and known of all men. When the Life of Christ in on display in our life: not just when it suits us, but all of the time, we know that we're Christians.
We must recognize OUR day and IT'S Message, then die to our own desires, so His Word may take Life in our bodies.
We have to recognize the Bible is God's diary. In It, He's written all of His appointments, and planned all the Word He ever will do. Now He isn't going to do everything at once. He has a program and a specific order. Everything in God's diary has a time and a purpose. His Work can only be accomplished in the predetermined order as set out in His diary.
We have to discover God's program for us in our day. Sunday's work can only be done on Sunday. We can't do Friday's work today. Friday is over. FINISHED! We can't do Monday's work today, that can only be done on Monday.
Just as there are seven days in the week, there are seven days in God's diary. seven days of a thousand years in this old world. six days in which man labors against sin, and the seventh wherein he rests. That's the Millennium, coming right on up.
God laid out seven days in which Christ would deal with His Church as a Mediator whilst the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals. And He sent seven men or angels during that time, one to each day or "Church Age". Each man had a Message. Each Message was a different part of the Word. Each Message brought eternal Life, or the new birth, to the saints of its age. It could only bring Life in the Age to which It was sent or predestinated.
These seven Messages of PART-Word were like the manna with which God sustained Israel's natural life in their journey through the natural wilderness. It was only good for the day on which it fell. Those who ate the manna left-over from a day gone by became sick.
God sent seven men with seven Messages. Seven different parts of His Word. Those seven were Paul, Irenaeus, Martin, Columba, Martin Luther, John Wesley, and William Branham. Paul was the prophet who wrote the New Testament. He preached the one and only faith God delivered to the apostolic saints. His ministry set the pattern to which all true ministers of the Gospel aspire; it's Paul's Gospel by which God will judge the world.
Paul was unorganized, but Spirit-led, as when God moved upon Moses to lead Israel out of Egypt. Jerusalem's Council never sent Paul out, nor did it have any power or jurisdiction over him. God, and God alone, did the sending and the leading. Paul was not of men, but of God. Galatians 1:1, "Paul, called (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, Who raised Him from the dead:)" Galatians 2:3-5, "The Council in Jerusalem agreed that what I was teaching was right and didn't even compel Titus my companion, who was a Gentile, to be circumcised: the question only arose because of FALSE Christians who spied out our liberty to see whether we were following the Jewish laws. But we didn't heed them for even a moment; so you wouldn't be confused into thinking salvation can be earned by the works of the Law".
Even in Paul's day, false teachings began to be introduced and accepted by those who were without the Spirit. Gradually more and more error came into the Church which was soon a mixed multitude, like Israel. And like Israel, the saints of all Seven Church Ages perished in the spiritual wilderness. At the end of each Age, God sent His angel with a Message that rebuked the Church, and brought it back to the Message of the previous Age whence it had fallen, then revealed the fresh Manna which gave Life in the new age.
The saints of every one of those Church Ages were born of the Word for their day. God has fresh Manna every day. The Word for a day gone by will not produce the new birth. Like old manna, it makes the people sick. That's why there can be no Life in denominational teaching. It's dead. It was for a day gone by. Maybe for the day before that.
Surely that's easy to see? We have to recognize OUR day and IT'S Message. Luther's Message did run well. It made saints in Its day. We must still hold to It. Luther's Message is the foundation of the Bible - the just shall live by faith. But God has revealed an awful lot more faith since the days of Luther, and His Message by Itself will not produce a saint in this day.
Wesley's Message produced many saints in his Age but It won't make a Christian today. Neither will the Pentecostal Message. We're way past the Church Ages. They are over! FINISHED!
On the seventh day there was no manna. God delivered a double portion on the sixth day, and miraculously preserved It so that It didn't spoil. In the seventh Church Age, God delivered no certain Message. The angel to the Laodicean Age, the late William Branham, was a prophet like Paul, the angel to the first Church Age. His ministry was to gather-up all the loose ends of doctrine that the angels of the previous six Church Ages of part Word were unable to complete, and restore the hearts of God's children back to the heart of their apostolic fathers as foretold by Joel, Malachi, and Matthew.
Can you see the perfect type from the days of Israel and Moses? When God told Moses to speak to the Rock the second time, Moses smote the Rock. This demonstrated the insufficiency of PART-Word to put a Bride in the rapture. God told Moses He must DIE without entering the Promised Land that TYPES the Millennium for us.
God put Moses to sleep and raised up a new leader: Joshua, to lead the Children of Israel into the Land. This shows that the church age saints all die before they can enter the Millennium. And that a new Leader would raise up to take Christ's end-time Bride into the eternal Land of the Millennium without death.
That new Leader is pictured in Revelation 10:1, where "ANOTHER Mighty Angel came down from heaven in 1963, clothed with a Cloud, (every eye shall see Him), and the rainbow was upon His head, (He's the Angel of the Covenant, Christ). And He put His right foot on the beast from the sea, Rome; and His left foot upon the beast from the earth", her Protestant image under the WCC, and the US. Ichabod! That's judgment, is written over them all.
Joshua, Israel's new leader, had been with Moses and the Children of Israel throughout their journey. Joshua was a TYPE of the Holy Spirit who has been with the church all the time. Our New Leader is the Holy Spirit in the FULLNESS of His Word. Since the Seven Seals have been revealed, Christ is no longer in the Office of Son of God and Mediator. There's nothing to mediate for, because that which was in PART is DONE away, and that which is perfect, the FULLNESS of the Word, has come. The Holy Spirit is now in the Office of Son of Man and judge.
Let's read John 5:25-27, "I solemnly declare, that the time is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the Voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. (This refers to the Church Age saints who were dead in sin and trespasses until they heard the Voice of the Spirit in the office of Son of Man or Mediator, and received eternal Life, the new birth. His sheep receive His Word. His Word is His Voice).
For as the Father has Life in Himself; so has He given to the Son to have Life in Himself; (And It's the same Life. You can tell the Tree of Life by the fruit It bears). And has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man". (Jesus told His disciples, _I_ will not leave you comfortless, _I_ will come to you. So on the day of Pentecost, Jesus returned in SPIRIT Form, in the Office of Son of God, to mediate for the IGNORANCE of His elect so long as the Bible was SEALED with Seven Seals. Since Jesus has OPENED the Book, He is no longer in the Office of Son of God and Mediator, but is Son of Man and JUDGE).
Our Leader today is the Son of Man. And the world church system is worshiping Him in VAIN as Son of God. Just like Israel who were worshiping God in vain, looking for Messiah in the Office of Son of David and KING when as He was among them as Son of Man.
We must recognize OUR day and ITS Message. It we can't see OUR position in the Word, we're not in Christ. Not Christians at all.
What diary are you following? Is It the King James' Diary for 1611 or is It the Bible Authorized for 1998? Oh, the Words are the same but what part of the Bible, God's Diary, are you expecting Him to fulfill in THIS day?
Jesus said, "You can look at the sky and tell the time of day and the weather, but the Scriptural signs of the times you can't determine". He added, "Search the Scriptures for in them you think you have eternal Life, and this is God's Diary which spoke of Me, saying, when I'd be here, and what I would do".
God Bless you Brethren, search the Scriptures to recognize what Jesus is doing now, and don't rest until you can see that part of God's Word living through you.

In 1998 we're going to witness the NWO moving openly upon us, with the likely collapse of the Japanese and Chinese economies, paving the way for the planned implosion of the US dollar, forcing the world into the clutches of the Money Elite, and slavery.
C. Northcote Parkinson wrote in his classic work, THE LAW AND THE PROFITS, in 1960: "The danger signs appear in this order: First it becomes apparent that government is absorbing too great a share of the available talent and energy; there is a decline, therefore, of individual initiative, and the spirit of inertia takes its place. Second, there's a decline in the sense of property, and the spirit of envy takes its place. Third, there's a decline of freedom, and the spirit of dependence takes its place. Fourth, there's a decline in the sense of purpose, and the spirit of rebellion takes its place. All this adds up to a decline in the sense of individual responsibility, and so to a decline of individuality itself. And while the technical trend of the age is to make the individual matter more, politically the trend is to make him matter less. In this grinding of the individual to nothingness, the most effective instrument is the steam roller of taxation."
The NWO police state will come in. The Bible says it will. And it will be ruled by the FALSE Christian church, make no mistake. But God sent us a prophet with a way of escape.
What's that, Brother Anthony?
Recognize YOUR day and ITS Message, and become a written epistle of THAT part of God's Word.
