The New BIG LIE
"They [Jewry] keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous" – Josef Goebbels, German Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.
April 30—May 1 is Beltaine Festival, also called Walpurgis Night. This is the highest day on the Druidic Witch's Calendar. (Britain's Jewish wartime Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill was a Druid). May 1 is the Illuminati's second most sacred holiday. Human sacrifice is required. We are supposed to believe the sacrifice was Osama bin Laden, but POTUS Obama, his Administration and US Navy Seals have tried to deceive the Devil with their witchcraft, and sacrificed America!
May 1 1776: Rothschild's Illuminati was born of the Jew Adam Weishaupt.
May 1 1786: Frederick II of Prussia instituted Shriner Freemasonry.
May 1 1915: RMS Lusitania sailed from New York. Set up by the US Government, she was torpedoed six days later.
May 1 1945: Hitler pronounced dead. Time: 5:45.
May 1 2003: George II announced "Mission Accomplished".
May 1 2011: Osama pronounced dead 66 years and 6 hours after Mr. Hitler.
May 1 2011: NATO bombed Col. Gaddafi's modest single story home killing his Son and three grandchildren.
May 1 is "Law Day" in the United States. Expert advisers to the UN: Christof Heyns on extra judicial, summary, or arbitrary executions, and Martin Scheinin on human rights and counter terrorism, have questioned Obama's unlawful execution of whoever if anyone was murdered as if he were the long-deceased Mr. Osama bin Laden.
Pakistani officials said there was neither internet, telephone nor electricity connected to Osama's "million dollar mansion." The US Administration said the residents did not use mobiles yet called it a "Command and Control Centre" whence they garnered a "treasure trove" of computers and mobile phones! And have released one of two more fraudulent "home videos" taken a week beforehand showing an 'Osama' seated on the floor watching himself on TV in the home with no electricity, and clicking the remote control with his right hand when the real Osama was left-handed.
The most obvious proof Obama is lying is to ask any microbiologist experienced in DNA sequencing about his statement. I am a molecular biologist and I've built a lucrative career in human genetics. I have run one of the world's largest and most productive DNA genotyping facilities and now I am helping to build the global market for clinical whole human genome sequencing for the world's largest human genome sequencing facility. I have worked with the absolute best genome scientists from the military, academia, medicine, and industry from around the world. I know DNA. And, one thing I know about DNA is that you cannot, repeat CANNOT: take a tissue sample from a shot-in-the-noggin-dead-guy in a north central Pakistan special forces op, extract the DNA, prepare the DNA for assay, test the DNA, curate the raw DNA sequence data, assemble the reads or QC the genotype, compare the tested DNA to a reference, and make a positive identity determination. . . all in 12 hours—let alone transport the tissue samples all the places they'd need to have gone in order to get this done.
Some might try to argue that ruggedized, field ready kits could test a DNA sample—which is true if one is attempting to determine the CLASS of a bacteria. It is not true if one is trying to determine the specific identity of an individual. Any way you slice it, the real work would require days, and I find it unlikely (although not impossible) that an aircraft carrier would have a laboratory outfitted for this kind of work. . . Full story: Michael C. Ruppert Ten facts that expose Osama's assassination as a BIG LIE.
Comment: "Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication" (Fox News, December 26, 2001). Obama's foolish HOAX assassination of the long-dead Mr. bin Laden caused the deaths of 80 innocent Pakistanis at the hands of fanatical suicide bombers today.
Pakistan is faced with Two Choices
a) Remain complicit with the West as it sets out to dominate the planet to the detriment of Pakistan,
b) or call the US bluff—a bluff they cannot substantiate. Either way, life is going to be miserable in Pakistan for the foreseeable future as they serve as a point of convergence for the West's designs on Iran, China, and Russia.
Concurrently, while Washington poses as India's ally, the sole purpose of this relationship is to manage the growth of competition in both China and across the entirety of Central and South Asia—including India. Perhaps India as well has been getting cold feet, unwilling to play its part against Pakistan and China, necessitating another convenient precision release from MOSSAD/CIA front Wikileaks, targeting the Indian government for rampant corruption—which has generated an "anti-corruption movement."
While India seems to hope the announcement of bin Laden's latest death will finally give America the excuse to make a graceful exit from the region, to the warmongers who started and perpetuated the war it will only serve as an impetus to stay longer and expand operations further.
Perhaps now would be a good time for India, Pakistan and China together to abandon this strategy of tension that ultimately serves none of their best interests and eject the West once and for all from their borders and the region as a whole. At the very least, it is most certainly time for individuals to claim back their personal and national sovereignty from a ruling elite that has clearly lost its mind. . .
With the assistance of recently deployed US Predator drones transmitting video images for bombing raids and missile attacks as well as wielding Hellfire missiles themselves, the US has to killed over 2,000 people in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (last month the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan estimated that 957 innocent civilians were killed in 2010).
Humanitarian Neo-colonialism: framing Libya and reframing War
May 4, 2011 — The most remarkable facet of NATO's war against Libya is the fact that "world opinion," that ever so nebulous thing, has accepted an act of overt military aggression against a sovereign country guilty of no violation of the UN Charter in an act of de facto neo-colonialism, a 'humanitarian' war in violation of basic precepts of the laws of nations. The world has accepted it without realizing the implications if the war against Gaddafi's Libya is allowed to succeed in forced regime change. At issue is not whether or not Gaddafi is good or evil. At issue is the very concept of the civilized law of nations and of just or unjust wars. . .
The coup represented by the NATO intervention into events in Libya has been years in assiduous preparation. The first to publicize the concept, 'The Responsibility to Protect,' was Gareth Evans, a former Australian Foreign Minister and CEO of the International Crisis Group.
In 2002, one year before the illegal US-UK aggression against Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Evans published a seminal paper in Foreign Affairs, the elite foreign policy journal of the New York Council on Foreign Relations.
In his article Evans called for the debate on whether or not to intervene into a given country on human rights grounds, even if the events are strictly internal to that country, to be "reframed not as an argument about the 'right to intervene' but about the 'responsibility to protect'. . . The world community is being subtly brainwashed to accept the radical new proposition with nary a peep of serious opposition. . . Full story: globalresearch.ca
Syria: Fabricating a Pretext for a US-NATO 'Humanitarian Intervention'
May 3, 2011 — There is evidence of gross media manipulation and falsification from the outset of the protest movement in southern Syria . . . in contrast to Egypt and Tunisia, in Syria there is considerable popular support for President Bashar Al Assad. The large rally in Damascus on March 29, "with tens of thousands of supporters" (Reuters) of President Al Assad is barely mentioned. Yet in an unusual twist, the images and video footage of several pro-government events were used in an utterly twisted fashion by the Western media to convince international public opinion that the President was being confronted by mass anti-government rallies. . .
The Daraa "protest movement" on March 18 had all the appearances of a staged event involving, in all likelihood, covert support to Islamic terrorists by Mossad and/or Western intelligence. Government sources point to the role of radical Salafist groups (supported by Israel). Other reports have pointed to the role of Saudi Arabia in financing the protest movement. . . While a US-NATO military intervention in the immediate future seems highly unlikely, Syria is nonetheless on the Pentagon's military roadmap, namely an eventual war on Syria has been contemplated both by Washington and Tel Aviv. Full story: globalresearch.ca
May 6, 2011 — A "long-standing campaign to overthrow the country's autocratic leader, Bashar al-Assad," which began under President George W. Bush and continued under President Barack Obama . . . More than 1,500,000 Iraqis have flooded into Syria to escape the last eight years of US occupation. This was a huge influx for a country with a population in 2006 of 18 million. According to a 2007 report by the office of the US High Commissioner for Refugees, the arrival of 2,000 desperate Iraqis per day had an extreme impact on all facets of life in Syria. . . The US created the refugee crisis, which left more than 25 percent of the Iraqi population displaced by sectarian violence. Yet it accepts the lowest number of refugees and has donated less than the cost of one day of the war in Iraq toward UN relief costs. US sanctions on Syria have increased the economic dislocations.

Filling in the Gaping Holes in WikiLeaks' Guantanamo Detainee Files
May 6, 2011 — The more than 700 Guantanamo files released two weeks ago by WikiLeaks contained information explaining how interrogators obtained "intelligence" from "war on terror" detainees captured or sold to US forces after 9/11, such as this firsthand account:
"On a couple of occasions, I entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food or water. Most times they had urinated or defecated on themselves and had been left there for 18, 24 hours or more. On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold. When I asked the (military police) what was going on I was told that interrogators from the day prior had ordered this treatment and the detainee was not to be moved. On another occasion, the (air conditioner) had been turned off, making the temperature in the unventilated room probably well over 100 degrees. The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor with a pile of hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling his own hair out throughout the night."
That description was taken directly from an email written by an FBI agent on August 2, 2004, and sent to officials at the agency's headquarters in Washington, DC, describing the torture of one detainee as witnessed by the agent while he or she was stationed at Guantanamo. . .
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, the former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell during George W. Bush's first term in office . . . "made a personal choice to come forward and discuss the abuses that occurred because knowledge that I served in an Administration that tortured and abused those it detained at the facilities at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere and indefinitely detained the innocent for political reasons has marked a low point in my professional career and I wish to make the record clear on what occurred" . . . Full story: truthout.org
Comment: 'Democracy' flows from the barrel of a gun. The USA, which is the image unto the beast of Imperial Rome, is employing the torture methods of Papal Rome. How could the victims in Guantanamo belong to al Qaeda when they were not employed by the CIA, which is al Qaeda?
Israel suspends Tax Payment over D?tente
May 2, 2011 — Israel has suspended an $88m (?53m) tax payment owed to the Palestinians, in retaliation for a landmark reconciliation deal between Fatah and Hamas, the rival Palestinian factions.
Yuval Steinitz, the Finance Minister, said he would not discharge the routine payment until he was convinced that the money was not going into the pockets of Hamas, the militant group that governs Gaza and whose charter calls for the destruction of the Jewish state. . . Israel collects customs and other levies on behalf of the Palestinians under interim peace accords from the 1990s. The revenues, which come to between $1bn and $1.4bn annually, account for 70 per cent of the Palestinian budget. Full story: independent.co.uk
Comment: How the self-styled Jews love division (Genesis 3:15). Israeli PM Begin funded Hamas with the objective of engendering radical Islam that would divide Palestine and provide Israel with an excuse to prevent statehood.
The new Christian Settlers
April 14, 2011 — About 1,000 Americans have signed a document requesting to convert to Judaism, move to Israel, and settle in Samaria. The group members are seeking to serve in the IDF and later establish communities based on the Kibbutz movement model.
The document was presented to Yisrael Beiteinu Knesset Member Lia Shemtov, who met with the group's representative last week and promised to offer her help in facilitating the initiative. The Christian group's representative, Baruch Avrahamovich, said he was hopeful that MK Shemtov would be able to elicit the government's support for the initiative.
Ironically, the venture received a boost through the help of priests at some 70 different churches in the US, who last summer urged their followers to boycott Avrahamovich and his new community. The broad media coverage attracted many new participants to the initiative. The Christian group seeks to purchase land in Samaria, and Avrahamovich says that in Missouri alone a community of some 400 people is already keeping the Shabbat. . .
"If families from this group undergo proper conversion and move to Israel in line with the Law of Return, we'll of course be happy to welcome them in Samaria," one official said. Full story: ynetnews.com
Comment: Cannon fodder for the front line.
Banking and the Economy
March 30, 2011 — "Very often the truth is very simple." Banks have a pivotal function in the economy, they are the main creators of money out of thin air. Full story: youtube.com
If you travel to Liverpool in England and go to St. Georges Hall there is a statue of the Earl of Beaconsfield (Benjamin Disraeli) flanked by Queen Victoria on one side and Prince Albert on the other. If you visit the magnificent Manchester Town Hall, there in Albert Square at the front of the Town Hall is a statue to Prince Albert. The statue has a canopy with four sides each with a Star of David.
Manchester was the first city in the world to have a Public Library which is in Albert Square. One street that leads off Albert Square is Brasenose Street. In Brasenose Street there is a statue of Abraham Lincoln. At the base of this statue on one side is a letter in 1860 from "The People of Manchester to Abraham Lincoln providing funds to support his campaign for the abolition of slavery." On the other side is a copy of the response from Lincoln three months later "Thanking the People for their Generosity".
No figures are mentioned, but if you read Jeremy Paxton's book "Friends in High Places—Who runs Britain," on page 280 he states "The Rothschilds provided 20 Million British Pounds Sterling to compensate British Slave Owners for the abolition of slavery." Why would the Rothschilds and the Merchants of Manchester provide funding to abolish slavery and add cost to their goods?
As explained by an Economist "If you abolish slavery and pay people wages, you can collect more taxes from people to pay back the money loaned by you, the International Bankers, who have lent funds to the Government. If you fund the Unions to force a wage increase this raises the base cost of products. If you are an International Banker involved with Currency conversions where your fees are based on a percentage, it makes sense.
Hence raw cotton that costs $10.00 a bale from paid labour, rather than $1.00 a bale under slavery, provides extra revenue for all parties in the supply chain, the shippers, the currency exchangers, the transport companies, the insurers and the manufacturers. Is this Model the International Bankers have worked out for the Westminster System, International Trade and the Model of Virtual Government in the USA, Australia and other colonies of the City of London?
Comment: This manipulative genius of the 'City of London' was employed by their CIA, MI6, MOSSAD, and agents in the US Administration and Military, to engineer and execute 9/11, and generate and exploit the myth of long-deceased CIA asset Osama bin Laden as cover to invade, rape and pillage innocent Islamic countries in a psyop conflated by media. Our (once) Christian nations being apostate, no longer uphold God's Word; neither do men obey civil laws nor hold politicians and governments to account, so "the mystery of iniquity" has led the world to anarchy "as it was in the days of Noah." Appealing to the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life, 'the City' tempted men to observe 'reason' and 'situational ethics' rather than conscience governed by the Absolute of God's unchanging Word knowing wilfulness would destroy constitutional government, constrain free-will and expression and humble once advanced nations to usury under international laws on the psychology of staged 'terrorist' events, and baseless racial, religious, national and socioeconomic enmity with which to ignite their long-planned World War III between political Islam and political Zionism—the next step toward their totalitarian one world government—once they pull the preplanned trigger.
Proof Please, not Propaganda
May 9, 2011 — We need proof carbon dioxide is a pollutant in the atmosphere. There is none—only political propaganda.
We need proof that global temperatures are controlled by man-made carbon dioxide. There is none—only computer models which are fiddled to fit the past but unable to predict the future.
We need proof on how the emissions targets will be achieved, especially if the big emitters are exempted and consumers are compensated. How many power stations, steel furnaces and cement plants will need to close, what will replace them and when?
We need an independent audit into the mishmash of mandates and subsidies promoting the ethanol, solar, wind, carbon forest and carbon trading industries. There is none—only government spruikers and lobbyists for vested interests.
We need proof that a tax on carbon dioxide will produce net benefits for the climate or the environment. There is none—just scare stories, misleading pictures and green fairy tales.
On the other hand there is voluminous evidence that carbon dioxide is a beneficial plant food not a pollutant, that global temperatures are set by natural cycles and processes, that a tax on carbon dioxide will increase living costs and close Australian industries and that the climate agenda has more to do with wealth redistribution than with climate or the environment.

A Vineyard of Red Wine
Isaiah 24:1 states, "Behold the Lord makes the earth empty and waste, and turns it upside down, and scatters abroad its inhabitants" pouring forth His wrath to purge heaven and earth in preparation for the thousand year honeymoon of Israel's King Jesus and His Queen. Accompanied by the friends of the Groom, His Old Testament saints, and 144,000 elect Israelites, our personal servants, we will be the first of God's creatures to live one full day of a thousand years.
This destruction will be gradually accomplished over the period of Daniel's Seventieth Week, commencing with the sinking of Los Angeles and a 1,500 x 300 - 400 mile segment of earth's crust beneath the Pacific, accompanied by an eruption of the Pacific ring of fire and tsunamis, and earthquakes elsewhere including Israel where the Mount of Olives will cleave asunder. The setting is the manifestation of the Seventh Trump, Sixth Seal and Seventh Vial which leads to the consummation of life (Daniel 9:27), and God is no respecter of persons.
Isaiah 24 – 27 call for the climax of Isaiah's oracles against the nations and foretell the restoration of the Kingdom to Israel, which will be the sole nation in the Millennium, for at the sounding of the Seventh Trump "The kingdom of the world is become our Lord's, and His Christ's; and He shall reign forever and ever" (Revelation 11:15). And the glory of Jesus Messiah will outshine the Sun and confound the Moon (Isaiah 24:23).
The Old Testament saints and the New Testament Church were each represented as four living creatures, and together with the twenty-four elders of Israel and the Church we sing in exultation of the Lamb. "You are worthy to take the Book and to open the Seals: for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and made them a kingdom and priests to our God: and we will reign over the Earth" (Revelation 5:9-14).
The Fourth Seal and Gentile dispensation terminate with the opening of the Sixth Seal which also terminates the Fifth Seal where we witness souls of righteous Israelites under the blood of the sacrifice altar who have been martyred for their stand on the Old Covenant and the Law of Moses throughout the Gentile dispensation. These souls are the Hebrew equivalent of the foolish virgin. At this juncture they cry with a great voice, "O Sovereign Ruler, holy and true, how long before You will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on earth?" Then they were consoled with the assurance they would be granted into eternal Life at the White Throne Judgment and that their blood would be avenged after the new birth and martyrdom of the 144,000 elect Israelites (Deuteronomy 32:43; Psalm 79:10; Revelation 6:9-11; 19:2).
In chapters 25 to 27 the revelation of Messiah's parousia quickens the 144,000 Israelites who sing praise in thanksgiving for the revelation of redemption and the righteous justice of God's judgment; for seizing the kingdom from Satan and sinful men and investing government upon Jesus Christ and His shoulder, which is His Body, His Bride (Daniel 12:12; Revelation 14:1-5, 12 – 15:4). During the Millennium we will learn to subdue and exercise dominion over the Earth and all that is therein.
Please follow in your Bible as we study Isaiah 26 and 27 which focus upon Israel after the close of the Gentile dispensation when God will be dealing exclusively with an election from the blood descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob resident in the land of the Covenant as indicated by "in the land of Judah" (Isaiah 26:1) cited in antithesis to "Moab" which represents the heathen and non-elect Israelites whom the Lord will tread underfoot (Isaiah 25:10-12).
With anticipation the redeemed 144,000 look to the imminent destruction of Rome that will take place after their martyrdom when the self-styled Jews who 'never forgive and never forget' declare their true allegiance is to Judaeo-Communist Russia and retaliate against Rome for canceling her agreement with their bankster buddies (Isaiah 26:1-11; Revelation 17:12-18). Having recognized their own unrighteousness by the revelation of history and the present truth, the 144,000 are the born-again "righteous nation which upholds the faith [of their Lord Jesus Messiah—even unto death]" and looks forward to New Jerusalem in "a renewed heavens and renewed earth wherein dwells righteousness (II Peter 3:13). The gates of this City admit only a righteous people who keep Truth, "For without are the dogs and sorcerers and the immoral and murderers and idolaters, and all who love to lie and do so" (Revelation 21:27; 22:15). The non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jewish "sinners in Zion . . . the hypocrites . . . shall dwell with everlasting burnings" whereas "He who walks righteously, and speaks uprightly; who scorns gain won by oppression, who shakes his hands refusing bribes, who stops his ears, refusing bloodshed, and shuts his eyes to all enticement to evildoing . . . will see the King in His beauty, and the highlands of heaven far away. . . [you will] look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts: your eyes shall see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, an immoveable tent. There the Lord in majesty will be for us a place of rivers and broad streams, where no galley with oars can go, nor mighty ships pass" (Isaiah 33:14-21). Isaiah 34 describes the destruction of the Edomites, the aforesaid "sinners in Zion [and] hypocrites".
Is this not God's indictment of the so-called Israeli Jews for their inhuman treatment of the Palestinians, and indeed all non-Jews whom the Talmud considers human cattle? It certainly shows they are not of God.
Isaiah 26:1-2, "In that day [when the fortress of the high fort of the world-city is brought down and death is swallowed up in victory by the quickening of the 144,000 (Isaiah 25:8-12; Revelation 17:16 – 18:20)] this song shall be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. Open the gates that the righteous nation which keeps faith may enter in." The Lord calls the walls of New Jerusalem "Salvation" and her gates "Praise." Her walls are the 144,000 elect Israelites whose foundation is the doctrine of the twelve apostles, and her gates are Israel's twelve Patriarchs (Isaiah 60:18; Zechariah 2:5; Revelation 21:12-21).
From Isaiah 26:3-4 we find that despite certain martyrdom these Hebrew saints are at peace because as individuals, their "mind is stayed on the Lord," trusting in the promises of His revealed Word. As Brother Branham attests, "no true believer is any stronger and spiritually healthy and alive than his knowledge of and adherence to the pure Word of God, as seen by multitudes of examples in the Old Testament" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 113:1). By his clear revelation of the present Truth the Lord watches over and keeps the believer in rest, free from double minded uncertainty, like a city kept securely within by a strong garrison though besieged without. Their sound confidence is faith: this clear understanding of the mind of God revealed to the believers personally is the foundation of the faithfulness of God on which we built our trust. Martin Luther restored this bedrock foundation which forever exposed the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church and her works as enmity with God. These Israelites confess they no longer trust in self-works under the Law but in faith and the grace of God—"there is [no trinity], no God else beside Me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside Me" (Isaiah 45:22). Their revelation is that Jesus Christ of the New Testament is Jehovah of the Old (Revelation 15:3).
Isaiah 26:5-6 prophesies the casting down of Satan and his legions (Revelation 12:7-17) and the nuclear devastation of Rome in answer to the judgment pronounced in Revelation 10:2. Not only the Roman hierarchy, but the kings of the earth and the rich men and merchants, and "all the proud and all who do wickedly will be stubble: and the day that comes shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch" (Malachi 4:1; Revelation 18:3).
Isaiah 26:7-9, "Many may be the afflictions of the righteous, but God's dealings with them is directed to their blessing" (Psalm 34:19; Romans 8:28-29). We have waited for You to punish the adversary (Daniel 8:13, 23-26; 12:5-13; Revelation 6:10; 13:1-10). The desire of our soul is to see Your glory in the manifestation of justice for the honour of Your Name that unrighteous men might be chastised for their profit".
In this song of praise the 144,000 testify their hope of glory is through grace foreseen by individual faith and lament the souls of fellow citizens imprisoned by the spirit of Laodicea (Revelation 3:17-20). Isaiah 26:9-11, "My soul yearns for You in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. For when Your tribulation judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will be taught righteousness (Daniel 12:4, 7-10; Revelation 22:10-15). Though favour is shown to the wicked in the land of uprightness [where the prophets of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11 are revealing Israel's Trumpet mysteries], those who are perverse refuse to recognize the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ. O Lord, they do not listen when you threaten, they will not see your upraised fist (Matthew 24:37-39). Show them Your zeal for Your elect, and shame them for their envy toward Your people. Let them be devoured by the fire reserved for Your adversaries" (Revelation 19:20; 20:5, 10). The Gentile dispensation is over; God is only dealing with Israelites in the Land of the Covenant, so these unrighteousness people whom the Lord will devour with the fire of His zeal are the self-styled Jews, but also reprobate Israelites who could understand but refuse to see.
Speaking in Isaiah 26:12-15 as one of the 144,000, the prophet confesses that "though they walk through the valley of the shadow of death" their peace is ordained by God's grace alone, which has destroyed even the memory of the heathen nations and gods that held dominion over Israel in the past. "They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise [before the general resurrection]." In contrast the Lord has increased the nation in Spiritual Israel, He has "removed all the ends of the land" and extended Israel's boundaries worldwide (Malachi 1:5, 11) in fulfillment of His promise to Abraham, "I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your Name great; and you will be a blessing [in your Royal Seed]: and I will bless them who bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed" (Genesis 12:2-3; 17:2-17; 22:15-18). Why, the 1,500 mile square city of New Jerusalem alone will occupy vastly more territory than the royal grant.
Isaiah 26:16-19, "Lord, in distress during the Gentile dispensation Israel sought You, they poured forth a whispered prayer when Your chastening was upon them. As a woman with child writhes and cries out in pain when the hour for her delivery draws near, so have we suffered without Your Presence, O Lord. We have been in pain, we have writhed but we brought forth only wind; we have not made Judea a place of security from our enemies; neither have the inhabitants of Israel "fallen" [i.e. been born, so that the country lies desolate, and is not yet populated]." I believe Job in his trials and ultimate revelation is a type of the 144,000 elect Israelites. There are forty-two chapters in the Book of Job as there will be forty-two months in the tribulation of Israel before they exclaim: "[Our ineffectual efforts to save ourselves by works of the Law, God will accomplish by His deliverance through faith in our risen King Jesus Messiah]. Your martyred saints shall live, together with my dead body they will rise. Awake! Sing joyfully, you who dwell in dust: on the morning of the resurrection a wonderful dew mirroring rays of Supernatural SON-Light (Malachi 4:2) will cover the earth—each dewdrop a glorified luminous resurrection body of Light" (Matthew 17:2; John 1:4; 8:12; Philippians 3:21).
Job 19:23-27, "Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were printed in a book! That with an iron pen they were engraved in the rock forever! For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at last He will stand upon the Earth: and after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: whom I myself shall see and my own eyes shall behold, and not another. Though my reins fail within me as I wait in hope" (Isaiah 26:9, 19)!
This revelation metaphorically transports the 144,000 Israelites to Mount Zion "singing a new song before the Throne, and before the four living creatures [tribal Israel] and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the [yet un-martyred] hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth," quickened by the inspiration of Christ's parousia (Revelation 14:3).
Daniel 12:1: "At that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of Israel: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time [the tribulation and martyrdom]: and at that time Daniel's people will be delivered, every one found written in the Lamb's Book of Life [will enter into the first resurrection]".
Romans 11:25-26, "Lest you should be wise in your own conceits, Brethren, I want you to understand this mystery: a Spiritual blindness has hardened part of Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles come in, and so all Israel will be saved: as it is written: The Deliverer will come from Mount Zion, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob." This will be the birth of the nation in one day—all 144,000 of them—followed by their martyrdom and resurrection.
During the tribulation of Daniel's Seventieth Week Jehovah will visit chastisement upon both His people and their enemies. Isaiah 26:20-21 brings us to the fulfillment of Zechariah 12 – 14, Revelation 14 and 19, where the 144,000, gloriously born-again through the revelation of Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming. "Go home, lock the doors, and hide [in martyrdom as Noah hid in the ark, and Israel stayed indoors under the blood of the Passover lamb] while God takes vengeance on the ungodly. For, behold, the Lord is coming out of His place to punish the inhabitants of Earth for their iniquity. All the innocent blood shed, and all other wrongs done so long, seemingly with impunity, shall then be avenged" (Job 16:18; Ezekiel 24:7, 8).
Isaiah quotes directly from Micah 1:3 fifty years before him: "For, behold, the Lord comes forth out of His place"—passing from the first to the general resurrection, when the Earth casts out the dead, bringing all evil and blood guiltiness to light, followed by the overthrow of Satan. Since the murder of Abel, Earth has absorbed all the dead bodies of the slain, faithfully preserving the exhibits for the White Throne Judgment when, restored to life, they will witness against the guilty as stated in Matthew 25:31 and Revelation 20:7-15.
Isaiah 27:1 and 10-11 are directed against the worldly powers: "In that day [of "Jacob's trouble" when the ungodly nations are punished preliminary to the Judgment, God will deliver Israel from her enemies in order to partake salvation on Mount Zion (Psalm 14:7; Joel 2:32; Obadiah 1:17-21). In Isaiah 25:10 the heathen worldly powers were jointly represented under the name "Moab." Here they are represented as beasts]. The Lord with His relentless, great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swiftly fleeing serpent [at full stretch escaping in haste, signifying the swift-flowing Tigris and Assyria], even leviathan that crooked or coiled serpent [signifying the winding Euphrates and Babylon]; and He shall slay the dragon [Egypt] that is in the [Mediterranean] sea. . . the fortified city [Rome] will become desolate, a dwelling deserted and forsaken like the wilderness: there the calves graze and lie down and strip its branches. When its boughs are dry, women shall break them off and burn them in the fire. For this is a people without discernment: therefore He who made them will have no compassion on them; He who formed them will show them no favour".
If you are following the current news you will be familiar with the planned targets of the United States of America, which is the image unto the beast. According to retired Jewish General Wesley Clark: "As I went back through the Pentagon in November 2001, one of the senior military staff officers had time for a chat. Yes, we were still on track for going against Iraq, he said. But there was more. This was being discussed as part of a five-year campaign plan, he said, and there were a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan." In light of the Scripture we have quoted you should understand how close we are to the tribulation.
Brother Branham said, "This is the revelation story of Zechariah 12:9-14. . . As the Judahites brought the Message to the Gentiles [in a time of national apostasy and our former rain], even so the Gentiles will take it right back to the Judahites [through their apostasy and former rain] and the rapture will come. Now, remember what we have read in Revelation [11] and Zechariah. Both come right after the [first three and a half years of] the tribulation. The Church of the First-born does not go through the tribulation. We know that. The Bible teaches that."
"At that time it says that God is going to pour out His Spirit upon the house of Israel. It is the same Spirit that was poured upon the Gentiles in their day. "And they shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced . . . each one of the houses apart when He comes in clouds of glory at His Second Coming. . ." [This is not the literal physical or (Gk.) 'erchomai' return of the glorified Man but the recognition of Christ's second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming to Israel prophesied in Zechariah 14:3-8].
"Now where will the Gentile Church be while Jesus is making Himself known to His brethren? Remember that the bride of Joseph with the two children were in the palace, for Joseph had commanded, "Let everyone leave me; put them all out from before me." So the Gentile bride was hidden in the palace of Joseph. Where will the Gentile Church [the two children who make up Christ's PART-Word and Caagsone Bride] go in the rapture? Into the palace. The Bride will be taken off the earth. She will be caught up before the great tribulation to meet her Lord in the air. For three and one-half years while the retributive wrath of God is poured out, she will be in the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Then will He return [in W_O_R_D form through the revelation of the Seven Trumpet Mysteries ministered by the Hebrew prophets of Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11], leaving His Bride in "His Father's house," while He makes Himself known to His brethren. At this very time, the antichrist covenant that the Jews [NOT Israelites] have made with Rome will be broken. Rome and her allies then send their troops to destroy all the God-fearing, Word-abiding Jews [he means Israelites]".
"But as they come against the city to destroy it, there will appear in the heavens the sign of the Coming of the Son of Man with His mighty armies to destroy them who have been destroying the earth [Zechariah 14]. With the enemy repulsed, Jesus then comes and presents Himself to the 144,000. Having seen His mighty acts of salvation, they have come to know His power. But also seeing His wounds and knowing that they had rejected Him even to that moment, causes them to cry out in the agony of terror and fear, even as did their brethren of old when they stood before Joseph, being sore afraid that they would be killed. But as Joseph said, "Don't be angry with yourselves. It is all right. God was in it all. He did it to preserve life." Even so will [the revelation of] Jesus speak peace and love to them" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 36:4 – 41).
This brings us to Isaiah 27:2-9 where he instructs the people in a song [of revelation] in which Jehovah Himself is the speaker. For "Jesus Christ is the Apostle and High Priest of our profession" (Hebrews 3:1) and His promises belong to those who are not ashamed to confess Him as Saviour. Israel is portrayed as God's vineyard; whereas in Isaiah 5:1-7 she is fruitless and consigned to destruction, having rejected the cultivation of the Lord as to their chagrin Jesus expounded before the chief priests and Pharisees (Matthew 21:33-46), here she is "a [fruitful] vineyard of red wine" faithfully tended and zealously protected by the Lord.
"In that day [of Israel's release into the liberty of Christ as described in verse 1 when "the sign of the Coming of the Son of Man appears in the heavens with His mighty armies to destroy those who have been destroying the earth"], let this anthem be the song of the 144,000, A [fruitful] vineyard of red wine. I the Lord am its Keeper; I water it continually, and watch over it night and day, lest harm befall it."
"The anger I formerly felt and manifest in chastisement (Isaiah 5) is gone: should I find briers and thorns [signifying Israel's internal corruption (as opposed to the wild beasts that break in from without) which I formerly allowed to grow in the vineyard as a punishment], I would fight them, and burn them all together (Hebrews 6:7-9). Or let them obtain My protection and make peace with Me! Let them make peace with Me. In days to come [that is, in the millennium, when the Kingdom is restored to Israel] Jacob shall take root, Israel shall bud and blossom, and fill the face of the Earth with her fruit"!
"Has God smitten them as He smote those who smote them? Or have they been slain as their slayers were slain? No, for He has devastated her enemies, while He has punished Israel in small measure by temporarily exiling them from their own land. He removed her [from the land of the Covenant] with His rough blast as though blown away in a storm in the day of the East wind." [The greatest reproach for an Israelite is to be exiled, which was to be excluded from the Covenant]. By the purifying influence of the East wind or exile in Assyria and Babylon [which is ongoing to this day], the iniquity of Jacob will be purged; and the full fruition of the expiation of his sins will be seen in that he smashes the white-washed stones of the idol altars [and the Talmud] into broken pieces so and that they can no longer serve as pedestals on which images of Astarte and the phallic sun pillars stand up".
Romans 11:25-27, "Thus all of Israel's elect will be saved as it is written: The Deliverer shall come from Zion, and He will banish ungodliness from Jacob; and this is My Covenant with them when I have taken away their sins" (Daniel 9:24).
Brother Branham said, "The Sixth Seal now being opened was for a three-fold purpose. The first thing was that the sleeping virgins had to go through the tribulation period for purification. She had to be purged of her sins of unbelief and rejecting the Message. . . You notice another purging time—that's for Israel when she gathers. That's the second fold. God purges Israel in the tribulation period. Out of the millions that'll gather there, there'll be a selected 144,000, and they will be purged also. God's purging Israel."
"Notice, there is a whole Earth . . . to be purged. There will be such a thing that the moon, stars, and all nature will be purged. You see what it is? The Earth is renewing herself, being purged, getting ready for the Millennium. The Millennium's coming up. And see, everything that's got any filth in it is to be purged during the Sixth Seal" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 575:1-4).
We have encountered the world-city and center of power in Isaiah 24:10-12; 25:2-3, 12; and 26:5. Isaiah 27:10-11, "The fortified city [Rome] will become desolate, a dwelling deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there the calves graze and lie down and strip its branches. When its boughs are dry women shall break them off and burn them in the fire. For this is a people without discernment: therefore He that made them will have no compassion on them; He who formed them will show them no favour."
Here is the great center of the last Gentile world empire, Papal Rome. The Book of Revelation identifies three "great cities." In Revelation 11:8, "After their martyrdom by Rome and Jewry, the dead bodies of the Hebrew prophets will lie in the street of the great city, Jerusalem, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." And at this point in world history Papal Rome will be ruling Lucifer's totalitarian one world government from Jerusalem. Having broken her covenant with the international banksters and forced the mark of the beast, world Jewry will display its true colours, siding with Judaeo-Communist Russia, the enemy of Judaeo-Roman Catholicism: "these shall hate the whore, and make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with nuclear fire. For God put in their hearts to fulfill His will, and to agree, and give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. And the woman which you saw is [Rome], that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth" (Revelation 17:16-18).
Revelation 14:1-5 pictures the 144,000 elect Israelites who are born-again on Mount Zion shortly after the martyrdom of their two prophets (Revelation 11:7-13). In parenthesis their Christian revelation is signified by the three angels of the Reformation of the Roman Catholic system of false worship: Martin Luther announces his Message of justification by grace through faith; John Wesley declares his Message of sanctification: "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, Papal Rome, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication [idolatry]," and William Branham warns the world against taking the mark or serving the beast (Revelation 14:9-11). Revelation 14:12-20 reveals the martyrdom of the 144,000 elect and the various groups of non-elect who preserve their names in the Book of Life and salvation, and finally, the battle of Armageddon without the great city Jerusalem whence the blood of the carnage will reach "even to the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs"—almost 78 miles!
Revelation 16:19, "And the great city [Jerusalem] was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon [Papal Rome] came in remembrance before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath" [the nuclear destruction mentioned in Revelation 17 and fulfilled on that "great city" in Revelation 18:1-19].
The third great city is the Jews' Los Angeles and Hollywood. Revelation 18:21, "And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all." Notice the two modern-day Babylons.
Paul explains Isaiah 27:10-13 in Romans 11:12-26 where he cautions the Gentile Church, "Boast not against the branches of natural Israel that were broken off, that you might be grafted in. If you boast, remember it is not you that supports Christ [the root of God's promise to Abraham] but the root that supports you. . . The branches were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand fast only by grace through faith. So do not become proud, but stand in awe: for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He also spare you. Note therefore the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen from grace through the absence of faith; but kindness to you, provided you continue in His grace: otherwise you too will be cut off." And this is precisely the situation of the apostate world-city of the Gentile Judaeo-Roman Empire today. "Its boughs are dry; women shall break them off, and burn them in the fire. For this is a people without discernment: therefore He that made them will have no compassion on them; He who formed them will show them no favour." Revelation 17:16 – 19:20 describe how the branches of the last Gentile world empire will be broken off, with Rome and her United States image blasted from the face of the Earth by Gog, the alien ruler of Judaeo-Communist Russia, before fulfilling its frequent boast of executing the Samson Option and destroying life on earth in Armageddon.
"The elect Israelites who do not persist in unbelief, will be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree? Lest you should be wise in your own conceits, Brethren, I want you to understand this mystery: a Spiritual blindness has hardened part of Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles come in, and so all Israel will be saved: as it is written, The Deliverer will come from Mount Zion, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. This is My Covenant with them, when I take away their sins" (Romans 11:23-27; Isaiah 27:9; Daniel 9:24).
Out of the sheaves which shall be gathered into the land of the Covenant from predominantly Muslim nations in the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week (Psalm 17:7; Isaiah 6:10-13; 11:11-16; 27:13; 49:17; Jeremiah 3:12, 18; 16:15; 23:8; 31:8; Ezekiel 37:14; 39:27; Micah 5:3; Zechariah 10:9-12; Matthew 24:29-31; Revelation 12:14, etc.,) the elect ears of the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be bound to the Lord by the revelation of the Seven Trumpet mysteries as Brother Branham explained:
Leviticus 23:23, "And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, and in the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation".
Now, in the Book of Isaiah, beginning with the first verse of the eighteenth chapter. (This connects this together):
"Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the river of Ethiopia":
"That sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
"All the inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when He lifteth up an ensign on a mountain; and when He bloweth a trumpet, hear ye".
In Isaiah 27:12 and 13:
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel."
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and ye shall come which are ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem" (The Feast of the Trumpets, p. 4:28-30).
When the last member of Christ's end-time Bride is redeemed the Seventh Trumpet will signal the Gentile dispensation has ended through apostasy, and the Lord will turn to the harvest of blood Israelites, gathering out the elect grain, one by one, from the land of her northern and second exile, beyond the Euphrates, and from the land of her southern and first exile beyond the Wadi el Arish. So that the twelve tribes that were potentially lost in the Muslim lands of the ancient Assyrian empire, and those who were driven out to the land of Egypt might be restored to Palestine for their redemption since the Old Covenant is without effect outside the promised land (Isaiah 11:16; 19:23-25).
Whence will the blood descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob be gathered? NOT from Russia, Poland, Germany, England, Canada or the United States whose non-Semitic Jews have no part in the Covenants of Israel. Genuine Israelites will be gathered from the Muslim lands of their Semitic cousins: Iraq, Iran, Syria and Lebanon (Isaiah 11:11-12; Jeremiah 50:6; Ezekiel 34:4, 16). Having witnessed the murder of Hebrews when the Ashkenazim invaded Palestine after World War II, the persecution of Iraqi returnees and subjection of Yemenis to radiation experiments, they dared not return to modern Israel "for fear of the Jews".
The "shout" of Brother Branham's Message is the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:1-13 that woke the sleeping virgin. You are reading this because it aroused you from denominational slumber. The wise and foolish virgin all believe this Message. The wise know that as with the Message of our Lord Jesus, the letter without the Spirit can send you to hell or cast you into the great tribulation. Faith in understanding. You must take the Message back to Scripture from Genesis to Revelation to understand what it means and distinguish Israelites from Jews; the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob from Israelis, and Judaism (which is Pharisaism) from the faith of Abraham, Moses, Jesus Christ, and the prophets of Israel.
When will the Israelites be gathered from their exile in the Muslim lands of ancient Assyria and Egypt into the land of the Covenant? "In that [future] day" when Israel's Seventh Trumpet sounds the end of the Gentile dispensation it will call the children of the pure blood of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to their feast of Trumpets, which will be the ministry of two Hebrew prophets anointed with the Spirit that endued Moses and Elijah of old.
I thought the Israelites returned to the land of Palestine in 1948. No, these were Jews whose antecedents had no history in the Middle East! According to Israel's prophets, Jewry's most eminent scholars and all encyclopedias, those settlers were mainly non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled Jews—Edomites and Khazars—Hittites and Canaanites, the sworn enemy of Jacob (Genesis 27:39-41), or deceived Gentile impersonators. Apostate (so-called) Christians and Israeli Jews are in blind submission to Jewry's 'City of London' that has ruled England since 1689, and "people of no understanding" (Isaiah 1:3; 27:11; Malachi 1). Modern Israel is a colony of 'the City' that is committing genocide upon the Muslim nations in order to kill Jacob so that Esau's descendants with headship over the sons of Cain, can steal back the birthright he forfeit for a bowl of soup. The City of London in league with the Vatican is the world-city and center of worldly power that will rule the world from the "great city" Jerusalem (Daniel 11:45).
Brother Branham was not alone in observing America's backsliding. Israel's war criminal Prime Minister Ariel Sharon boasted "We Jews control America, and they know it." The late Brother David Meyer's Last Trumpet Newsletter concurred. In 1944 Julius Streicher noted: "The influence of the Jewish spirit" today dominates the United States of North America. "The influence of the Jewish spirit" is what drove the American people into the disaster of the First World War, and forced them again in this Second World War to sacrifice enormous amounts of its blood." The common sense truth of these statements confirms Brother Branham's prophecy, "the world is going insane," and the treacheries of the enemy within are legion.
When the Israelites are gathered back into the land of the Covenant and have "budded and blossomed" through the anointed ministry of their prophets, they will be harvested in persecution and martyrdom as in the beating off of olives (Deuteronomy 24:20), and the threshing of grain with a staff (Judges 6:11; Ruth 2:17; Isaiah 28:22-29; Matthew 27:25), in the sure knowledge they are "a vineyard of red wine". nl684.htm
