While the US dollar is currently the leading global currency, it was already on a path of inevitable debasement and eventual collapse, even before considering the compounding effects of the Iran war.

The only reason the US government has managed to avoid severe consequences from its inflationary monetary policies is the US dollar's status as the world's top reserve currency: thanks to Washington's military and economic dominance that has prevailed since the end of World War 2. However, as this dominance wanes, so will the dollar's purchasing power.

The US government's ability to hide the effects of its rampant money printing by offloading trillions of dollars to foreigners is nearing its end.

That's terrible news for the US dollar.

As the world digests the Iran war and its consequences, I expect we'll see a multipolar world order emerge and the US dollar lose its privileged position as the world's premier reserve asset.

An ocean of capital could flow into gold as the world looks for a sound monetary alternative to the fading US dollar and whatever scheme Russia and China cook up.

That's why I think the Iran war will add rocket fuel to a major investment trend already in motion—the re-monetization of gold.

Investment Outcome #2: A Scramble for Strategic Commodities

Hydrocarbons—oil, coal, and natural gas—as well as copper, uranium, and rare earth elements, are among the most strategically important commodities. The Iran war is likely to make the importance of controlling key inputs impossible to ignore, and I expect that to be bullish for companies with access to strategic commodities in stable business jurisdictions—most of all in the US, then in the Western Hemisphere, and finally in more distant US allies such as Australia.

Companies that secure access to domestic or allied sources of strategic commodities will be at a distinct advantage. Relying on foreign suppliers carries significant political risk.

Further supply disruptions of hydrocarbons and other strategic commodities means higher prices. That's an outcome I think we can bet on.

On the demand side, the US, Russia, and China will likely place even greater emphasis on securing critical commodities and ensuring stable supply chains.

In short, I believe the Iran war will drive both rising demand and unstable supplies, creating a volatile yet opportunistic environment.

Meanwhile, commodity prices are at all-time lows relative to other assets.

That's why gaining exposure to companies with strategic commodities located in the US or allied jurisdictions could be a winning move.

Conclusion

The Iran war could be one of the major catalysts that accelerates gold's return to the center of the monetary system. But it is not happening in isolation.

It is unfolding against the backdrop of sky-high debt, endless money printing, rising geopolitical conflict, and a fragile financial system that may be approaching a historic breaking point. In other words, the coming shift could be much bigger than gold.

It could mark the beginning of a full-blown monetary reset—one that reshapes the dollar, the markets, your savings, and the global flow of wealth. Most people will be caught completely off guard.

But for those who understand what is happening and position themselves early, this crisis could also create rare opportunities.

That's why I prepared an urgent dispatch: The Largest Wealth Transfer in History

Trump Surrenders! Iran Wins, and Israel Loses Everything

May 25, 2026 — The United States is being driven out of the Middle East — and with it, Israel's entire security architecture. Iran didn't defeat America in a head-to-head war. It won by making the cost of staying unbearable. Now, even pro-Israel publications are calling it: US dominance in the region is over, and Trump's only option is to surrender to Iran's demands.

America's War against Europe

May 23, 2026 — America is no longer 'An Ally' of the European Union. Quite the opposite. The insidious role of the US government in carrying out acts of sabotage against the EU is amply documented. Beyond doubt. Meanwhile corrupt EU politicians are not only blaming Russia, they are setting the stage for the destabilization and impoverishment of several European countries on behalf of Washington. They are 'Sleeping with the Enemy' to the Detriment of the People of Europe . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Fragile Hegemony of the US Dollar

May 25, 2026 — "In God we trust," when in fact we trust in money, and money is made out of nothing! Video: globalresearch.ca

Comment: Finance capital is often deliberately made to appear complex and inaccessible. It hides behind charts, algorithms, central bank reports, interest rate curves, derivatives markets, and technical terminology understood only by a narrow circle of specialists. A dense smokescreen of banking jargon is created in such a way that ordinary people, and often even state administrators, struggle to see the naked truth at the core of the system. Yet the mechanism we call finance capital is not an abstract academic theory or merely a technical model discussed in economics faculties. It is a very concrete and ruthless power structure that has repeatedly shaped human history over the last few centuries, influencing the rise and fall of empires, directing states through debt, financing wars, and creating new fields of power for itself out of every major crisis. Because finance capital does not produce, does not build factories, is not tied to the land, and feels no belonging to any nation. It has no flag, no border, and no anthem. Yet it is often more disciplined than states, more patient than armies, and capable of thinking far more long term than politicians. It does not act according to electoral calendars, but according to transfers of power designed to last for generations . . . (globalresearch.ca).

The USA is a warfare state; it has been waging imperialistic overseas wars for a long, long time, and using its soldiers as cannon fodder. Most families of dead soldiers find it impossible to admit that their loved ones died in vain, even if courageously. Without waging wars, the US economy, as presently constituted, would collapse. Business goes on as usual . . . (https://www.globalresearch.ca/memorial-day-glorification-war/5927404).

Flotilla Activists arriving in Spain Beaten by Police?

May 25, 2026 — The Flotilla activists were tortured by the Israeli prison guards with beatings, broken bones, and rape the most common form. Media outlets have decided to ignore this atrocity perpetrated on 400 citizens bringing food and medical supplies to Palestinians in Gaza. But when a group of activists were brought home to Spain, they encountered beatings in the airport by 'police.' Oddly, said 'police' are wearing masks to obscure their identities and using the same bully-clubs used by the IDF in Israel. There is one identifying problem in their uniform—a white cuff patch on their right arm that does not appear in any Spanish uniform. Headlines claim the Spanish police are 'detaining activists.' Yet the photo shows six officers beating one man who is flat on the ground. Is that 'detaining'? There is also an insignia badge on the white patch that does not match the badge of Spanish police. A fair conclusion is they were Zionists called to impersonate.

Guardian Defense and Homeland Security (GDHS) is run by the Mossad. They are located in the Basque region where they train and equip the militia group known as the Basque police, Ertzaintza. They are also present in the US, UK, Germany and of course Israel. GDHS clients per their website include Elbit Systems based out of Israel. Elbit is a military and defense contractor run by billionaire, Mikey Federmann. Elbit has been accused of war crimes, corruption and terrorism.

Extreme Simulations is another client of GDHS. They create tailor-made scenarios and super-immersive environments by utilizing highly realistic tools and smart devices that provide on- site error identification, grading and certification. They use wearable wounds on hyper-realistic mannequins for their clients; IDF, Police, and Israeli EMS.

As Trump attempts to save face in the ongoing Strait of Hormuz war, part of the deal would be that all Arab countries must sign the Abraham Accords recognizing Israel as an ally.

True to form, Trump and his officials have already stated every country will agree to sign despite none making such a statement. Telling his advisors to slow track the Iran Deal, Trump released 172 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserve bringing the level down to its lowest in history – 200 million barrels, while Iran doubles its oil sales to China with full access thru the Strait.

Rank Hypocrisy of the Trump Indictment of Raúl Castro

May 24, 2026 — Now that Trump is snared by the 'escalation trap' in Iran, he has turned his attention to overthrowing the government of Cuba. In addition to a new round of crippling sanctions on trade, travel, and oil shipments, the latter responsible for shortages and blackouts, the Trump administration unsealed an indictment of former Cuban leader Raúl Castro over the 1996 shoot-down of Brothers to the Rescue aircraft. Castro, now 94, was Cuba's defense minister at the time.

In the 1990s, the US government, CIA, and the Cuban exile community in Miami were busy attempting to subvert the Cuban government. The following is taken from Summary of Terrorist Actions against Cuba (1990-2000) Full story: globalresearch.ca

Last Trump Card for Trump: Cuba! The 'Donroe Doctrine'

May 24, 2026 — The incumbent US president desperately needs a tangible success ahead of this November's midterm elections. That leaves only the invasion of a weak state. Donald Trump got a bloody nose at the hands of the Iranians.

Even if the US president escalates the situation once again and prepares to strike a major blow against the Persian Empire, he can no longer win. The situation is simply too complicated. And it mercilessly highlights what even astute thinkers within the inner circle of the US elite have observed time and again: the US may still be able to win wars. But over the past four decades, they have repeatedly lost the peace. The US can now only destroy structures it dislikes. But unlike after World War II, they are no longer able to replace the old system with new structures.

. . . it would likely be a piece of cake for Trump to invade the socialist island of Cuba and incorporate it into his own sphere of influence . . . Now that Venezuela has fallen into the hands of the Trump clique, Cuba's oil supply from Venezuela was immediately cut off and Cuban advisors were expelled from the country. Cuba is now suffering from power outages and plummeting into abject poverty at breakneck speed. Having been accustomed to sanctions-induced shortages for years, it is unimaginable how this island republic, which has managed to resist 60 years of hostile takeover attempts, is supposed to survive this encirclement by corrupt satellite states of the Trumpist US. It is highly likely that Trump will now have to cling to this last straw—a cowardly ambush of a state that is already on its knees. Full story: globalresearch.ca

The Time is at Hand

Numbers 16:3-50, "Two hundred and fifty prominent Reubenites rebelled against Moses and Aaron, and said: We've had enough of your presumption; by what right do you elevate yourselves above the Lord's people? Everyone in Israel has been chosen of the Lord, and He is with all of us."

"When Moses heard this, he fell on his face," and told the congregation to separate from the tents of Dathan and Korah and the earth swallowed them with their families and supporters, and all of their possessions. "And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty Reubenites who had offered incense. . . But on the following day the children of Israel gathered and accused Moses and Aaron, saying: You have killed the people of the Lord. . . And the Lord told Moses: Get away from this congregation, that I may instantly destroy them. And they fell on their faces . . . and Moses stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed".

Moses and Aaron interceded for the people—the high priest imperilled his own life typing Christ standing between the dead and the living of that perverse race. As at Hormah God again proposed to destroy and disinherit Israel and make a greater and mightier nation of Moses, who typed Christ when he offered his life for the Israel nation. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry" (I Samuel 15:23). All disbelieving adult Israelites were smitten from the Book of Life, some of whom have participated in Dathan and Korah's rebellion. Of those who separated from Egypt, which types sin and worldliness, only Joshua and Caleb bought a good report from Canaan land; likewise only one in a million of those who come out from Judaeo-Romanism in obedience to Matthew 25:6 and Revelation 18:4 will enter our promised land of the millennium.

God esteemed Moses and accepted his stand for Israel; however He could not disregard His own Word when instead of exercising his "third pull," Moses struck the Rock a second time signifying the second crucifixion of the Word today (Hebrews 6:1-8). So God forbad Moses from entering the Promised Land and when he died God buried him in Moab, the land of one of Lot's illegitimate sons by his own daughters (Deuteronomy 34:5-6). Of the mixed multitude who escaped Egypt only Joshua and Caleb entered the Promised Land, and today's foolish virgins and churches in the circle of this Message that substitute private interpretations for faith in the Seventh Seal imply an insufficiency of the "present Truth," miss the millennium and will perish.

"The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and bountiful in mercy" (Psalm 103:8). But woe to men like Esau who cross from mercy to judgment, "for afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears" (Hebrews 12:17). A time will come when God's mercy is exhausted and He will cleanse this earthly battlefield of sin and sinners. Yet His mercy is so rich He surrendered His own Life in our virgin-born sinless kinsman Redeemer to pay sin's penalty and remit the sins of Adam's race. He became our sin that by faith we might become His righteousness and joint heirs in the Kingdom of God.

When Israel rejected his Kinsman Redeemer, Messiah turned from that nation to call out an election from Adam's race for His Name: a Bride. After "the marriage of the Lamb has come to pass and His Wife has made Herself ready" Jesus will call 144,000 elect descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Israel from the Israelites who return to the land of the Covenant in the great tribulation of the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week (Acts 15:14-17). Then the restraining influence of the Spirit being lifted from the nations and Israeli impersonators (II Thessalonians 2:6-12; Revelation 6:11), 144,000 will be purged, and purified, tried with Fire and sanctified (Malachi 3:2-6) by the ministry of the Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11; but the wicked will continue their wickedness: and without revelation none of them will understand; but the wise will understand and discern the signs of the time in Daniel 12:7, the first half of the Seventieth Week which Daniel did not understand and in Daniel 12:8, the second half of the Week plus 30 days. Matthew 24:22-51 and Luke 21:25-33 mention both halves of Daniel's Seventieth Week.

Brother taught, "Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the Word and of the prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for The Time is at Hand." Oh, my, if we just could go into it right now . . . Look. When is the time at hand? When the Revelation of Jesus Christ has been revealed to the Body of Christ, and Christ has been revealed, not dead, but alive, living in His Church, doing the same things He did, the same ministry, the same Gospel, the same sign, the resurrected Christ, when He's revealed by His Angel into the Church, then the time is at hand. And never a time, since that day until this has the mystery of Jesus Christ ever been revealed until these last few years. Then the time is at hand.

Watch the world in its natural. The atomic, the hydrogen, the cobalt, all the bombs and things they got; the whole world is a-trembling; everything is shaking and trembling. All nature is groaning. You know that. I know that. The Pentagon knows that. Russia knows that. England knows that. The world knows it. The time is at hand. What's making nature quiver the way it is? Because the time is at hand.

This Church is in Its deliverance, a perfect type of Israel in her deliverance when she took her stand upon the pure, holy, unadulterated Word of God. It was going to stand and take its march. Moses led the children of Israel; with a little bread, kneaded bread on top of their head: Kosher; and they marched to the Red Sea. God's path led them right up to the Red Sea. Well, he said, "Now, how we going to get across?"

And somebody looked back, and said, "Look, coming yonder; the dust is a-blowing. There's thousands times thousand of Pharaoh's chariots right behind us." That mixed multitude that went with them, begin to quiver and shake, which followed, finally perished with the gainsaying of Korah. No doubt but what the very nature of the hills shook, going to see one of the most bloody massacres that you ever seen. A poor, little, helpless bunch of people standing there by the side of the sea. Little children backing up against mama and holding her dress. Poor old dad leaning against their boy, crying, saying, "Son. I've lived my days, but I hate to see you going. Look, coming yonder." All nature, dreads death, even the flowers and the trees, and everything else, is afraid of death. Nature quivered and groaned, and shook under their feet, when they seen that bloody massacre coming.

What was God doing? Oh, what a tie. They failed to realize, hanging right yonder stood a supernatural power, the Halo of God, a Pillar of Fire hanging there, that would stand between them and that enemy when it come time to stand.

Nature quivering, the sea begin to get nervous, the moon looking down and quivering, the birds flew from the scene, the animals run back. "Oh, what an endless murdering of millions of people's going to die in a few minutes." And they were all groaning.

But what was they doing? They were following the path of God. It seemed foolish; it seemed crazy, but they were walking in the Light (Amen.), oh, walking in the Light. You remember when we used to sing that song?

He's raised from the dead. He's here before us. He's showed signs and wonders, infallibly; not some fanatic stuff, but the final sign and wonder, that He's with us and He's leading us on. And we're coming to a place.

And there hangs bombs; there hangs cobalt bombs. Oh, my. And a proclamation rising up now to stop all interdenominations and consolidate to a one, great, big Evangelical church of the Protestants, which will cooperate and join with Catholicism to combat Communism. It's the work of the Devil. Yes, sir. God never did associate saint and Satan's church together. God leads His Church, and He don't expect political leaders to lead them, not even church politics. Every man that's borned of the Spirit of God is free. Amen.

Here she is, right up here at the end now. The people's begin to look around, "Well, what can we do? What can we do? Oh, how foolish it is to say, "What can we do?" Just look to Him that's leading. Amen.

"What are we going to do?" Brother, you who are past thirty years old; sister, you who are gray-headed, and dad sitting by you; you who are sick and afflicted; you who can look at your hand. Every time you look at one another, you know one thing is certain; you're going to die. Every time you hear an ambulance go down the road, it speaks death's right ahead of you. Every time you pass by a graveyard and see a tomb, it says death is ahead of you. Every time you see a wrinkle come in your face, or a gray hair, or a stooped shoulder, it says death's ahead of you. Oh, but how happy the Christian can stand right at the brink of the Dead Sea.

Moses turned his face to God and he begin to pray. That Pillar of Fire came down, stood between them and the danger. Darkness to them; if you refuse Light, it'll turn to darkness every time. And it was darkness to them; but it was marching orders to these to go on. And when they got to the sea, the sea opened up. A great east wind coming from the very direction they was, going over top of the heads of Pharaoh, come down and scooted back the sea. And the sea got scared because God ordained a path through the thing. God was showing His love to His children. He likes to get you in a tight place sometimes, so He can just manifest Hisself.

As a shepherd once said, he broke the sheep's leg. Said, "What did you do that for?" Said, "So I could feed her, love her, and prove to her I love her." There you are. Said, "Then she'll follow me." . . . things which must shortly come to pass; and . . . has signified it by his hand . . . John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace be multiplied, . . . from Him which is, which was, and which is to come . . . Jesus . . . What? Three things: "Which was, which is, which is to come: the same yesterday, today, and forever." A little later on in the Scriptures, Now, the same chapter, He said, "I am he that was dead, and is alive again for evermore, and have the keys . .. (Not some church, Peter, or his cathedral, or Rome, or the Episcopalian, or the whatever it is, got a key; that's the key to fellowship). But I have the keys of death and hell." Amen. (56-0617, Revelation Book of Symbols, par. 78-91).

Daniel saw the vision of the Seven Thunders uttering their Voices when Melchisedec, who became our Messiah opened the Seven Seals over Sunset Mountain on March 8, 1963, and swore "there should be no more time" (given to mediation for the ignorance of PART-Word since two of the threefold purposes of God's great mystery in Christ were potentially accomplished at the end of the Laodicean Church Age and redemption is over. Being predestinated to receive the fullness of the Word by the revelation of the Seven Seals or Seven Trumpets, Christ's end-time Bride and the 144,000 elect Israelites do not require mediation for ignorance and were fully redeemed in Him on Calvary. "Those that know their God will do exploits in the manifestation of the Sons of God in the last days" (Revelation 10:1-11; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 13:10; Ephesians 4:13)]. "But Daniel was commanded to shut up the words and forbidden to write" (Daniel 9:24).

Daniel 12:5-9, "Then I Daniel looked at this last great vision, and saw two men not supernatural beings, one in the Spirit that anointed Moses standing on this side of the bank of the river, and the other in the Spirit that anointed Elijah on the side of the bank of the river to witness the oath of Michael, the Great Prince, who is Jesus Messiah clothed with a Cloud and with the rainbow over His head when He placed one foot on the land and one on the sea, raised His hands and swears by Him who lives forever and ever, that time shall be no more (Deuteronomy 19:15; II Corinthians 13:1). And one witness said to the Man clothed in linen, who was anointing the waters of the river, multitudes of saints (Revelation 17:15), how long shall it be to the end of these wonders?"

Israel's two witnesses will stop the heavens and perform mighty miracles such as those evoked by Moses and Elijah under the Old Testament. But we have witnessed mighty wonders in the ministry of William Branham revealing Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday, and today, and forever as prophesied in Luke 17:28-30; and after the close of the Gentile dispensation we, too, will manifest the 'third pull'; not as a public show, but for our necessities so that the Lord can raise our faith for translation grace.

Revelation 1:3, "Blessed is the reader, and blessed are those who comprehend the Logos or revelation of this prophecy in the days of the Voice of the seventh angel, and observe what is written: for the limited period of (Gk.) 'kairos' or opportunity time is at hand, imminent, near, and soon to come to pass."

The Prophet said, "When is the time at hand? When the Revelation of Jesus Christ has been revealed to the Body of Christ, and Christ has been revealed, not dead, but alive, living in His Church, doing the same things He did, the same ministry, the same Gospel, the same sign, the resurrected Christ, when He's revealed by His Angel into the Church, as He was through William Branham, the "seventh angel" according to his commission on the Ohio River in 1933, "As John the Baptist introduced My first Coming, your Message will introduce My second Coming," then the time is at hand. And never a time, since that day until this has the mystery of Jesus Christ ever been revealed until these last few years. Then the time is at hand" (Revelation Book of Symbols, p. 14:78).

In this regard see Revelation 22:10-11 which is the equivalent of Daniel 12:4-10. In Acts 2:39 we find the Israelites were those who had near access to God, as opposed to us Gentiles who were "afar off" and alien from God and his blessings. To the Rabbis the term "to make nigh" signified "to make a proselyte" or convert. Very soon 144,000 Israelites will be "made nigh" and gloriously converted to Jesus Messiah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel!

Daniel 12:7-9, "And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river—Christ the Holy Spirit over His Church, when He held up His right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that (the 'third pull' ministry of Israel's two witnesses) will extend over three and a half prophetic years; and when the Lord has accomplished to shatter the power of the holy people, pouring out the consummation on the desolate (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 23:38-39) in the martyrdom of the 144,000 (Matthew 27:25; Revelation 14:1-5, 12-20; 15:2-4) all these things shall be accomplished. And I heard, but I did not understand "the times" in relation to my question in verse 6, "how long" then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?"

I Peter 1:10-12 refers mainly to Daniel: as it is he who foretells "the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow"; it is he who prophesies "not unto himself, but unto us"; and it is he who "searched what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in him did signify." And the Lord said, "Go your way, Daniel: for the Words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end." Thus the answer Daniel sought is deferred.

In 1953 Brother Branham said, "I know, and I want you to remember. There's something fixing to happen. Remember, I told you that. There's a step up coming in the Church now. See? These things that you're now seeing, are going to be just little things after while. Something's a-moving." The step up has taken us into the prophet's chamber, the fiftieth course of the "Bible in Stone" where he introduced us to Christ by the revelation of the Seven Seals. The 'third pull' places us in the King's Chamber or Capstone of the Body where He is no longer in the office of Son God and Mediator but Son of man, King of kings and Judge (John 5:27). All seven Church Ages are over; and we have been baptized into the holy convocation of the antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal feast of Leviticus 23:15-21. See Newsletter 633.

"And I say this by the power of the revelation of Jesus Christ . . . Everyone in our doctrine, in our baptism, we've come to a place, but there's some key that'll unlock something here. Now, he saw the Book sealed on Seven Seals . . . Daniel saw the same, and when the thunders uttered their voices He said, "Don't write" what that was in the Scripture (Daniel 9:24), but it'd be revealed in the last days. We're at the time. We're at Kadesh right now." Kadesh was the border of Canaan where Israel disbelieved God's Promise and the unbelievers were blotted from the Book of Life; and many in the circle of this Message are now on the borderline, the wrong side of the Breach.

"Here a few nights ago, I went into Brother Vibbert's, over at Paducah, Kentucky, crossed over into Evansville. Oh, Brother Bosworth was with me. And I said, that day I said . . . It just kept burning on my heart a Message, that I knowed that something God had promised on the opening up of the power, yet I'm waiting now for Him, which I believe will appear to me visibly."

"I say it with reverence; I've seen Him twice. 'Course it was vision. He was standing in the air. One night I stood, and I even broke a straw off the field, put it in my mouth and chewed it. Looked again, I said, "Surely this is not vision." I stood there in the broom sage a looking. I'd been praying all night. And I looked again; I seen Him with His foot like that and His hands folded, looking towards the east.

"And I walked around this way and cleared my throat. And when He looked around at me, raised out His arms, I fainted and didn't come to till the next morning. And I have an idea what He looks like. And I've been feeling for the last few months that I'll see Him again. Here in . . . pretty soon that He will reveal again something that's fixing to come forth."

"Oh, brother, if I have it right, God forgive me if I'm wrong, but seeing it in the Scripture, seeing that when He rose and ascended up, He received a new Name that no one knowed about. Then I see Him coming in His power . . . Now, if that faith can come at that time, why can't it stay all the time? When that boy, standing there and his eyes blowed out like that, I looked at him and there's something . . . I said, "Lord, this what I'm believing. Now, there's a keynote how to go in there, and I believe that God's going to let me know it."

"So then if that happened, these things that you're seeing will be so amateur up the side of what that'll be when it is fully revealed! . . . We're on the verge, brother. Somebody's come back from Canaan; the grapes are good. It's our land. God give it to us. We can take it, God said so, didn't He? God said we had it; it's ours (Revelation 10:8-11). And we're living in the last days; don't you believe it? He said, "In the last days I'll send down the rain in abundance like that. Both former and latter rain will fall in this day (the revelation of the Seals and the manifestation of the Sons or God). And what they had back there plus what God's going to give us is right now at hand" (Hosea 6:3; Joel 2:23; Revelation 8:1; Romans 8:19; Exploits of Faith, #53-1213e).

In 1961 Brother Branham said, "Elijah is prophesied to come again just before the great and the second coming of the Lord. In Malachi the fourth chapter and Revelations also the third chapter tells us that he will be here in the last days, that same one that'll stand in the breach for the people with a little flock that God will give him. He'll come in the last days. God said so. He'll be a sign to this Gentile nation that her time is no more (Revelation 10:6). And remember, when he appears on the scene, the time is at hand. Let's pray for God to send him. Time is at hand."

"As soon as his ministry John the Baptist, the Elijah of Malachi 3 was finished, Messiah showed Himself. As soon as this great one, the Elijah of Malachi 4 will come in the last days, will finish his ministry, the Messiah will show Himself. It'll be so. The time is at hand, so we better pray. You better start praying."

"His God-given sign to this Age (Hebrews 4:12) will prove what He is. Everybody will know it. God will vindicate it. He'll show signs and wonders like never been done on the earth by Him. . . Let the people fall on their face today and start crying out to God and watch what happens. You'll see him show up in power . . . "How will we know that this will be the right one? How do we know?" God tells us we'll know him. What will he do? He'll be turning the hearts of the children back to the original Pentecostal Message at the beginning. Oh, my. A sign that's overlooked, the real sign, and they miss it. They always do. Back to the true church, the true Message" (61-1112, A True Sign That's Overlooked, p. 29:180-186).

This is not another Church Age, the midnight cry of Matthew 25:6 is calling Christ's Bride out from denominational gloom into the evening time Light of the fullness of the Word. Only the prophet of Malachi 4:5-6 could reveal "Jesus the firstfruit of them that slept," for he was the firstfruit of "they who are alive at Christ's 'parousia' Coming" (I Corinthians 15:23).

On December 21, 1962 the Lord showed Brother Branham a dream in which he saw an enormous man who was supposed to be his father cruelly mistreating a woman who was supposed to be his mother by striking her to the ground with a three-cornered length of wood. When she stood on faith he would strike her down again. Although he was much smaller, Brother Branham finally rebuked the man. As he did so he grew great big brawny faith muscles, and taking the man by the collar he said, "Don't strike her again! And if you do, you'll have to deal with me." The man became scared of him, and left her alone.

The woman was the Church and the father was the denomination that rules over her. Whenever the Church rose up with a revelation the denomination would strike her down with the three-cornered stick of its trinity doctrine. God was encouraging Brother Branham to continue reprimanding the denominations by presenting faith as there are still some of His people in there who need to be called out. He reported this vision to his Church on December 23, 1962 (62-1223, Reproach for the Word, p. 3:2-4). The third angel's Message of Revelation 14:9-11 was Brother Branham's ministry warning against the mark of the beast which is the trinitarianism.

On the morning of December 22, 1962 Brother Branham entered a vision as he was speaking to his seven-year-old son who was in another room. He recounted this vision in his Message, Reproach for the Word, and again on December 30 in Is This the Sign of the End, Sir? "I looked, and there was a big bush. And on this bush in a constellation of birds, little bitty birds, about a half inch long and a half inch high, they were little veterans. Their little feathers was beat down. And there was about two or three on the top limb, six or eight on the next limb, and fifteen or twenty on the next limb, coming down in the shape of the pyramid. And those little fellows, little messengers. . . And they were pretty well worn out. And they were watching eastward, and I was at Tucson, Arizona, in the vision. For it made it so purpose that He didn't want me to fail to see where it was at, I was picking a sand burr off of me from the desert. And I said, "Now, I know this is a vision, and I know that I'm at Tucson. And I know that them little birds there represent something." And they were watching eastward. And all of sudden they taken a notion to fly, and away they went eastward."

"And as soon as they left, a constellation of larger birds came. They looked like doves, sharp pointed wings, kind of a gray color, a little lighter color than what these first little messengers was. And they were coming eastward swiftly. And no sooner than they got out of my sight, I turned again to look westward, and there it happened. There was a blast that actually shook the whole earth. Now, don't miss this. And you on tape, be sure you get this right."

"First a blast. And I thought it sounded like a sound barrier, or ever-what you call it when planes cross the sound, and the sound comes back to the earth: just shook like roared, everything: Then it could've been a great clap of thunder and lightning like. I didn't see the lightning. I just heard that great blast that went forth that sounded like it was south from me, towards Mexico."

"But it shook the earth, and when it did, I was still looking westward. And way off into eternity I saw a constellation of something coming. It looked like that it might've been little dots. There could've been no less than five, and not more than seven. But they were in the shape of a pyramid, like these messengers coming." A constellation is an alignment of stars forming to the eye a separate group named in reference to the outline enclosing them, The seven stars in this constellation are the angels to the seven Church Ages (Revelation 1:20), and the outline enclosing them portrays Jesus Christ wigged as a Judge in His second or 'parousia' Coming as foretold in Daniel 7:9, Matthew 26:64, Acts 1:9-11, and Revelation 1:7, 14. "When that which is perfect or complete has come, Christ, the fullness of the Word] PART-Word and Christ's intercession for ignorance of the fullness will be done away" (I Corinthians 13:10). Hence, after the revelation of the Seven Seals the Prophet preached that the Reformers and Church Age saints did run well, but now we must "Look Away to Jesus".

"And when the blast of thunder or Voice of God (Haggai 2:6-7; Hebrews 12:25-27) shook the earth, the power of Almighty God lifted me up to meet them as John, who represents the Capstone Bride throughout the Book, was caught up in the Spirit after the Laodicean Church Age (Revelation 4:1-2) And I can see it. It's never left me. Eight days is gone, and I can't forget it yet. I never had anything to bother me like that has. My family will tell you."

Brother Branham had to go westward to Sunset Mountain to be caught up into the evening Light of Zechariah 14:7 and Matthew 24:27 at the 'parousia' Coming of the Son of Man at the opening of the Seals. The unwritten Seventh Seal was the revelation of the six written Seals and the Voices of the Seven Thunders that Daniel and John were forbidden to write when they saw the visions of Daniel 12 and Revelation 10. The little birds represented the 'first pull' of Brother Branham's vision, the larger birds his 'second pull,' and the angels, seraphim or theophanies of the Church Age Messengers his 'third pull'—the opening of the Word. They flew eastward to Brother Branham's Church in Jeffersonville where the Lord would reveal the mystery of the Seven Seals to Him.

"I could see those Angels, those shaped-back wings traveling faster than sound could travel. They come from eternity in a split like a twinkling of an eye, not enough to bat your eye, just a twinkle as in our body change of I Corinthians 15:52; speed, as explained in Matter is Spirit Slowed Down. They were there. I didn't have time to count. I didn't have time, no more than just look. Mighty ones, great powerful Angels, snow white, wings set in head, and they were "whew wheeew," and when it did, I was caught up into this pyramid of constellation. And I thought, "Now, this is it." I was numbed all over, and I said, "Oh, my. This means that there will be a blast that will kill me. I'm at the end of my road now. I mustn't tell my people when this vision leaves. I don't want them to know about it, but the heavenly Father has let me know now that my time is finished. I won't tell my family so they'll worry about me, because He's fixing to go and these Angels has come for me, and I'll be killed pretty soon now in some kind of an explosion."

"Then it came to me, while I was in this constellation, "No, that isn't it. If it would've killed you it would've killed Joseph, and I could hear Joseph calling me." Well, then I turned again, and I thought, "Lord God, what does this vision mean?" And I wondered, and then it come to me, not a voice, just come to me. Oh, that is the Angels of the Lord coming to give me my new commission. And when I thought that, I raised up my hands, and I said, "O Lord Jesus, what will You have me do?" And the vision left me. For almost an hour, I couldn't feel.

Throughout the Laodicean Church Age Brother Branham was commissioned to "Watch in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. Preach the Word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and turn away from hearing the truth, and be turned to fables. This took place during Laodicea which ended in apostasy "and knows it not" even after fifty years (Revelation 3:17-20; Luke 17:26-30; 18:8). His evangelistic work attracted attention by the worldwide healing ministry and missionary activity of his first and second 'pulls': the sign in his hand, and discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart revealing "Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, and today, and forever" (II Timothy 4:2-5; Hebrews 4:12; 13:8). His 'third pull' was his prophetic 'Elijah' ministry revealing the mystery of the Seven Seals that introduced Jesus Messiah to His end-time Bride in the holy convocation of the fiftieth day of the Pentecostal feast after the end of the Church Ages. This is the Capstone Message that quickens the Bride to maturity as the Corn of wheat reproduced many fold and ready for the heavenly garner.

"Now, you people know what the blessings of the Lord is. But the power of the Lord is altogether different. The power of the Lord in them kind of a places, I felt it many, many times before in vision, but never like that. It feels like a reverent fear. I was so scared till I was paralyzed in the presence of these Beings. I tell the truth. As Paul said, "I lie not." You never caught me saying anything wrong about something like that? Something's fixing to happen.

Then after while I said, "Lord Jesus, if I'm going to be killed, let me know so I won't tell my people about this; but if it's something else, let me know." Nothing answered."

"After the Spirit left me for about a half hour I guess or more I said, "Lord, if it is then that I am going to be killed, and You're finished with me on earth, and I'm going to be taken home now, which if that's it, that's fine. That's all right." So I said, "If it is, let me know. Send Your power back on me again. Then I'll know not to tell my people or anybody about it, because You're fixing to come catch me away." And nothing happened. And I waited awhile. Then I said, "Lord Jesus, if it did not mean that, and it means that You've got something for me to do and it'll be revealed to me later, then send Your power. And it almost took me from the room."

"I found myself somewhere over in a corner. I could hear my wife somewhere trying to shake a door. The door in the bedroom was locked. And I had a Bible open, and it was reading . . . I don't know, but it was in, I believe, Romans the 9th chapter, the last verse: "Behold I lay in Sion a cornerstone, a stumbling stone, a precious cornerstone, and whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed." And I thought, "It's strange I'd be reading that." (Spirit still packing me in the room)."

"And I closed up the Bible and stood there. I went over to the window (it was about ten o'clock in the day or better), and I raised up my hands, and I said, "Lord God, I don't understand. This is a strange day to me. And I'm beside myself almost." And I said, "Lord, what does that mean? Let me read again, if it be You." Now, this sounds juvenile. And I took up the Bible, opened it up. There it was again at the same place: Paul telling the Romans that the Jews tried to accept it by works, but it's by faith that we believe it." The Church Age saints all worked to understand the mystery of the sealed Book, but in this holy convocation we rest because "the mystery of God is finished" and we are feeding our souls on THUS SAITH THE LORD of the Capstone revelation.

"Well, it's been a terrific time since. Now, you see where I stand. I don't know what's happening. I don't know what to say. But now, let me now, from now on, for the next about fifteen, twenty minutes, let me try to say something here now. Remember, not one time has those visions ever failed."

"Now, I'm going to take the Scriptures for a moment. If you notice, in Revelations the 10th chapter . . . Now, let me say this: If the vision is Scriptural, it can only be interpreted by the Scripture. And then I want you to put this together. And now, you present and you on tape, be sure you say this the way I say it, 'cause it could be mighty easy misunderstood."

"Now, the Seventh Angel . . . Now, "Sirs (as I entitled this), is this the Sign of the End Time?" Where are we living? What time of day is it? As the weary wrestler through the night, raising and turning on the clock to look to see what it is, turning up the light . . . My prayer is, "God, let us turn on the Light." I'm standing in an awful place, if you but knew it. Remember, I tell you in the Name of the Lord; I've told you the truth. And something's fixing to happen. I don't know. . ."

"I believe that the seventh angel of Revelations 10 is the seventh Church Age messenger of Revelations 3:14. Remember . . . "But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets" (62-1230, Sirs, is This the Time , p. 25:4; 28:2; 29:5-6).

"Now, look, when it is time for the seven Voices, and it is time for the seven Voices of Revelations 10 to be revealed (when the written Seals of the) Book is completed. . . It blasted with Thunder when this Voice rung out. Did you notice that when the Seven Seals, that followed the seven Church Ages; when the First Seal was opened, that there was a Thunder? The First Seals in the Book was opened, there was a Thunder. Would not the First Seal on the outside Book open the same way? God doesn't change His program."

"Let's turn over to Revelation 6. "And I saw when the Lamb had opened one of the Seals, and I heard, as it was the noise of a Thunder, and one of the four beasts said, Come and see".

"Now, there never was another Thunder; and the last Seal was opened, there was space in heaven for a half hour of silence. But the First Seal was opened, there was a blast of Thunder."

"Oh, church, could it be? Are we that far? Friends, think. Maybe . . . I hope it isn't, but what if it is? What was that blast? Before God and this open Bible, I lie not. Blast that shook the earth, and when the First Seal of the seven that was opened in the Bible, it come forth, just one, but a blast that shook the whole thing: a Thunder. And then, if the Seals that's on the backside would open, would not it be a Thunder too? I don't know. I can't say."

"There was a Thunder. The First Seal . . . And the Seal was a Thunder, the Trumpet was opened at that time, and the Trumpet was blown at Pentecost, of course. I won't get into that [because that will be revealed by the ministry of Israel's two witnesses in Daniel's Seventieth Week.

Now, if the vision was Scriptural . . . it must be interpreted by the Scripture, or a continuation of the same Scripture. I just waited so that soaks in. If this that I have seen. . . Are we at the end? Remember, this Angel said when this taken place, He swore there'd "be time no more. . ." (62-1230, Sirs, is This the Time, p. 43:2; 44:1).

The Prophet explained how this vision was fulfilled at Sunset Mountain on March 8, 1963 when he delivered the revelation of the Seventh Seal on March 24, 1963: "Remember the constellation of the vision of the Angels when I left here to go to Arizona? You remember "What Time is it, Sirs?" Do you remember that?"

"Notice, there was only one great burst of thunder, and seven Angels appeared. Is that right? One burst of thunder, seven Angels appeared. "And I saw the Lamb when He had opened the First Seal, and I heard as it was a Voice of a Thunder, and one of the four beasts said, Come and see." Notice, one Thunder, seven Messages that's been sealed up and cannot be revealed until the last day, at this age. See what I mean? Notice, there's witnesses of three setting in here, that a week ago (a little over a week ago) I was up way back into the mountains, nearly to Mexico, with two brethren that's setting here, picking cocklebur or sand burrs off of my trouser leg, and a blast went off that almost, looked like, shook the mountains down. Now, that's right. I never told my brethren, but they noticed a difference. And He said to me, "Now, be ready. Go east" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 559:5 – 560:1).

"Then all at once something said, "Look up!" There it was. Then He told me, "It's the opening of those Seven Seals, turn home" (63-0630E, Is Your Life Worthy of the Gospel, p. 3:13).

In 1964 he said, "What did he say . . . about two years ago now? Go out to Tucson. Be north of Tucson, a great blast," (Revelation 6:1] what would take place; "the Seals would be opened," the Seventh unwritten Seal that revealed these things. Come back just as He said. What is it? Shows it cannot be a man" (64-0614, The Unveiling of God, par. 336b).

"You think that little noise out here in Tucson was something; when He opened the Six (written) Seals, that shook the country around about and caused the talk, wait till this earth receives her baptism (64-0802, The Future Home of the Heavenly Bridegroom and the Earthly Bride, par. 170).

"Moses esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. So he forsook Egypt and followed Christ" (Hebrews 11:25-26). The Pillar of Fire that led Israel through the wilderness was God—Jesus Christ the Angel of the Covenant. And on the Day of Pentecost, God, that big Pillar of Fire, Jesus Christ, who is the appearance of likeness of the glory of the Lord, divided Himself into His Church that we might be one in Him.

Organization divided men from Christ the Word but faith was restored "precept on precept, line upon line, here a little, and there a little" (Isaiah 28:10) as the Fire moving up drew the Sardisean, Philadelphian and Laodicean Church Ages closer to the image of Jesus Christ. But the capstone was never placed on the prophetical Bible in Stone that Enoch designed showing the builders would reject and crucify the Chief Corner Stone. It has come: Daniel saw it as a Man clothed in linen, John saw it as the Angel of the Lord, and we have seen it as the Pillar of Cloud. As shown on the diagram, the Holy Spirit stood in the breach between the Church Ages and the Seals to baptize Christ's end-time Bride into the Capstone by the faith in the Message of the seventh Angel, and when the last saint is baptized into the Capstone Christ will resurrect and catch away all of the saints to the wedding supper of the Lamb.

After Brother Branham had addressed a Full Gospel Business Men's breakfast on February 11, 1961 a prophecy was given in French. The English interpretation said: "Because thou has chosen the narrow path, the harder way, thou has walked of thy own choosing. Thou has picked the correct and precise decision, and it is My way. Because of this momentous decision, a huge portion of heaven awaits thee. What a glorious decision thou has made. This in itself is that which will give and make come to pass the tremendous victory in the love divine".

As heaven consists of the Word, the "huge portion of heaven" is the fullness of the Spirit to introduce the second or 'parousia' Coming of Jesus Christ, the Logos or fullness of the Word! It is the Capstone, which is God's Agape Love manifest in His end-time Bride at the top of the pyramid.

Elijah typed Christ whilst Elisha types His end-time Bride with a double portion of the Spirit—new birth and translation without death. The "huge portion of heaven" that finished the mystery of God caps the pyramid so that the complete fullness of the Godhead dwells in His Church under preeminence to the Word that He may express Himself through us in the manifestation of the sons of God. For the Church Age saints cannot be resurrected and glorified until our number is complete and mature (Hebrews 11:39-40).   nl1392.htm
