Bible Believers' Newsletter 1339
"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; we are pleased you could join us in fellowship around God's unchanging Word.
Most non-Message ministers and churchgoers with whom I have spoken over the past several months are bound to Judaeo-Catholic dogmas contrary to the simplicity of God's unchanging Word. One cannot walk with Jesus when they disagree with the common faith of His written Word; unbelief and misguided beliefs dispute the testimony of two or three scriptural witnesses. Mindless religious folk recite memorized creeds in fellowship with a like-minded non-elect majority who worship they know not what. So rather than one Main Article this week we feature four topics: "I lay in Zion a Chief Cornerstone, Elect, Precious," . . . "What was the Holy Ghost Given For?" . . . "Water Baptism in Light of the Bible," and ". . . Teaching for Doctrines the Commandments of Men." Remember, most Christian ministers and elders ignored Emperor Constantine's invitation and the remainder departed before the Council sat. THUS SAITH THE LORD is not established by the show of Talmudic Jew hands that introduced the trinity and the Nicene Creed three centuries after the death of the first Apostles. God is Sovereign He is not democratic; His Word is unchanging and will be fulfilled. God speaks through His prophets; He must send and vindicate a Prophet to warn and provide a way for His elect to escape the oncoming judgment (Amos 3:5-7). God promised and sent us a mighty prophet like Enoch "to proclaim the day of vengeance of our God" (Isaiah 62:2), "to restore our hearts back to the faith of our Apostolic Fathers" (Malachi 4:5, 6b), "to finish the mystery of God," and "to call His children OUT from Rome and her apostate (once) Protestant daughters, lest He should smite earth with a curse" (Revelation 10:7; 18:4).
Many people without reference to Scripture and despite abundant evidence reject forty-years of meetings worldwide drawing thousands, even hundreds of thousands. Such folk do not even seek the scripture for Jesus' prophecies. Many true Believers and Subscribers are not on-line and receive our Newsletter via smart 'phone. I encourage those who are pastors to display our audio-visual presentation The Second Coming of Christ to encourage members of your congregation. This presentation illustrates the vindication of Christ's end-time prophet who veiled Jesus Christ with the Messianic sign, "discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart" as Jesus prophesied in Luke 17:28-30, healing the sick and raising the dead.
Newsletter 1320 "Dark Forces are in Control of Anglo-American-Zionist Empire," is the source of world crisis and Newsletter 1338 "Economical Explanations: Reflection on the Aims of Past Wars and Wars to Come" enlarges on the 0.01%.
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible. Please read our items of current news.Your brother-in-Christ

Trump Administration launches Probe into Free Speech Crackdown in Britain
May 27, 2025 — The Trump administration is doubling down on its commitment to stand up for freedom of speech in Europe with an extraordinary move. According to GB News, Trump "sent a team of US officials to the UK to investigate concerns over freedom of speech restrictions, particularly regarding pro-life activists who have been arrested for silent protests outside abortion clinics." Vice President JD Vance made international waves in February when he confronted European leaders at the Munich Security Conference on their free speech record, singling out the UK's persecution of pro-life protestors. Vance noted that veteran Adam Smith-Connor had been convicted and sentenced to pay thousands of pounds in legal costs simply for praying silently outside an abortion clinic, and cited Scotland's draconian buffer zone that could apply to people praying inside their own homes . . .

Trump says 'The War in Ukraine is not My Problem . . .'
May 26, 2025 — President Trump, who campaigned on a promise to end the war by negotiating directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin, has failed to do so. Instead, he has continued to supply arms to Kiev after the agreement allowing the US to exploit Ukraine's natural resources. Meanwhile, NATO continues to escalate the war against Russia with the US in key command . . . This is the framework in which the European Union is operating. It has introduced the 17th package of sanctions against Russia and is preparing the 18th. At the same time, the EU is providing Kyiv with increasing financial support to fuel the war against Russia. So far, this has amounted to €148 billion. More than €50 billion of this has been used for direct military purposes to buy weapons and train troops. This is in addition to the increasing military spending of the European member states of NATO . . .The arms race concerns not only 'conventional' (non-nuclear) weapons, but also nuclear weapons. France and Poland have concluded a 'nuclear defence' agreement allowing France to transfer nuclear weapons to Poland and Poland to use them under French command. At the same time, President Trump announced the imminent construction of a $175 billion 'space shield 'capable of intercepting missiles launched from other parts of the world. It is not just a defensive tool: a country equipped with a 'shield' can attack another country first, relying on the ability of the 'shield' to neutralize enemy retaliation . . . the new B61-12 nuclear bombs already deployed by the United States in Italy, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. President Macron is offering the French "nuclear umbrella" to all EU countries, just as he did to Poland.
At the same time, President Trump announced the imminent construction of a $175 billion 'space shield 'capable of intercepting missiles launched from other parts of the world. It is not just a defensive tool: a country equipped with a 'shield' can attack another country first, relying on the ability of the 'shield' to neutralize enemy retaliation. It is no coincidence that the announcement of the Space Shield project coincided with Washington's announcement of the early production of the first B61-13 nuclear bomb. 24 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, it is a first-strike weapon capable of penetrating the ground and destroying enemy command bunkers with its explosion. Russia and China will undoubtedly take countermeasures. This will accelerate the nuclear arms race . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca
Russian Ballistic Missile Destroys US Patriot System in Ukraine
May 24, 2025 — Russia's defense ministry (MOD) has published battlefield footage which purports to show a Russian Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system destroying a US-supplied Patriot air defense system operated by the Ukrainian military. New drone footage from near the Ordzhonikidze settlement in the Dnepropetrovsk region has shown the destruction of multiple key components of an MIM-104 Patriot long range surface-to-air missile system operated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, after it was successfully targeted by Russian forces using the Iskander-M ballistic missile system. The strike took place approximately 100 kilometers behind the frontlines, at a time when Russian forces in the region have made significant advances. --Military Watch Magazine".
Watch: the opening footage below features the official MOD clip of the Patriot being taken out. Russia's military has enough firepower to still overwhelm Ukraine's air defenses, and so successes might still be few and far between. Watch harrowing footage of a fresh intercept.
Genocide in South Africa Going Global
May 24, 2025 — Journalist Alex Newman, author of the popular book "Deep State" and the recent best-selling book called "Indoctrinating Our Children to Death," is warning people to pay attention to the genocide of white farmers in South Africa. What is happening there is something the Deep State wants to take global in their tyrannical takeover of all life and property on Earth . . . "What's happening down there to them is a microcosm, and that's what they have planned for you, your country, your family and what's left of the Christian West. . . . What I have documented (in 2012) very clearly and very unambiguously is this racist, murderous, communist program taking place in South Africa was backed by the highest levels of Deep State power. This includes the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the US State Department, including their allies and partners in Great Britain, and they all knew the Soviet Union was behind this and other communist governments were behind this. This is a monstrosity piled on a monstrosity and, again, what they are doing to the Afrikaners now; they plan to do to you as soon as they get the opportunity. Instead of amalgamating all these nations under a South African government, they want to amalgamate all these nations under a one world system. Barack Obama has said over and over again that he was inspired to get into politics because of what they were doing in South Africa. This all comes together here–and you are next. That's why it's important to watch what is happening in South Africa."
What are the tools the Deep State uses to gain total control? Look no further than the new global UN pandemic treaty and the huge push for climate change laws to give control to a few people at the top. Let's start with the recently passed UN pandemic treaty, which President Trump cancelled for America. Newman says, "They have a clause about 'misinformation,' which means you can't speak out or ask questions about what injections they demand you and your children take. It's got digital infrastructure . . . . So, they will track everything, which will pave the way for international vaccine passports. . . . It gives exemptions (to drug makers) and fast tracks the same outrageous process that we have seen before in emergency use authorization (EUA). That is whatever crazy concoction they come up with and then tell us all what we need. It is everything that was wrong with Covid on steroids enshrined into international law."
The Climate Change hoax is equally disturbing. Newman says, "It's not just our wealth that they are taking. They are taking from us our ability to produce wealth. This dawned on me in Paris. I was at the climate summit there around 2015. You had Barack Obama pledging to slash American CO2 emissions by a third over the next decade. This is essentially chopping American economic activity down. Meanwhile, the Communist Chinese were pledging they were going to keep increasing their CO2 emissions. To their credit, they absolutely lived up to that. . . . So, what happened was as we were shutting down our power plants and stopping energy production in this country . . . this was making manufacturing and business uncompetitive if you were operating in a global market. You could not continue doing business in the United States with energy prices skyrocketing while energy prices in China were stable or going down. They hollowed out our productive capacity and moved it over to Communist China under the scam of 'Saving the climate'. . . . That's what is going on here, and Trump got us out of this whole thing. You cannot overstate the significance of this."
Newman fears America is much closer to a violent takeover attempt by the Deep State. Newman says, "The Leftists, the totalitarians, the people that want to do to us what they are doing to the South Africans right now want a civil war in this country. A lot of people on our side don't see this. . . . They don't realize very dangerous forces are being unleashed across our country. They are preparing for an uprising, a violent revolution and violence in the streets. They are deliberately trying to do this. . . . We just saw this guy shooting a couple of embassy workers, and I think this is just the beginning for what they are preparing. They brought in special operators from Communist China. They brought in intelligence assets and gangsters from Venezuela and Cuba. They are preparing to stir up domestic conflict that we have never seen before. . . . I think we are in very grave danger as a nation, and I don't say this to scare anybody. The Lord does not give us the spirit of fear. I say this so we can understand it and prepare better for it and, hopefully, prevent it. . . . Sun Tzu, the Chinese military expert, said, 'If you know yourself and you know your enemy, you are going to win every battle.' We have to have a good understanding of the enemy, or we are not going to win." Full story: Genocide in South Africa Going Global
Comment: There is much more in the 50-minute interview. Climate change is a deadly 0.01% hoax. South African EFF leader Julius Malema ended yet another speech on Saturday by calling for more genocide against white South Africans.
Notable Columbia Prof. isn't sure Obama Attended Columbia University
May 23, 2025 — Prominent Columbia professor Henry Graff who taught at Columbia University for 46 years questioned whether or not President Obama actually attended the Ivy League school. "I taught every significant politician that ever studied at Columbia. Between American History and Diplomatic History, one way or another, they all had to come through my classes. Not Obama," he continued. "I never had a student with that name in any of my classes. I never met him, never saw him, never heard of him."

Here's Why China is Beating the Pants off the US
May 22, 2025 — Our single biggest priority is to improve the lives of the ordinary people." —Xi Jinping, President of China.
Polling data clearly shows that Americans prefer capitalism over socialism. In fact, it's not even close. A 2021 Gallup survey found that 60% of Americans view capitalism positively, while only 38% felt the same about socialism. A 2025 Rasmussen/Heartland poll reported an even bigger disparity, with an impressive 71% saying they prefer free-market economics over socialism which garnered a meager 12% support. The clear implication of these surveys is that Americans overwhelmingly support capitalism over a system of government in which the state exerts greater control over key industries and the distribution of wealth.
Shockingly, our leaders in Washington still think the United States can "out compete" and even surpass China if we just put our minds to it and make it a national priority. But anyone who can 'do the math' can see that's not going to happen. It's simply a matter of which country has the superior development model, and, in that regard, China has us beat hands-down.

International Criminal Court's Silence to Accusations of Genocide and Complicity to Genocide
On 15 May 2025 — The Geneva international Peace Researched Institute submitted a follow-up communication to the ICC in The Hague, calling for an investigation of the complicity by the European Commission, in particular by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU Foreign Minister Kaja Kallas, in the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) . . . GIPRI's communication documents in detail the fact that European Commission officials are personally criminally responsible for complicity in the war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide having been committed (and still being committed) by the Israeli armed forces in the OPT, to the extent that they have aided, abetted and otherwise assisted in the commission or attempted commission of such crimes, within the meaning of Article 25(3)(c) of the Rome Statute. Mrs. von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas enjoy no functional immunity before the ICC by virtue of article 27 of the Statute . . .
GIPRI recalls the erga omnes obligations of all States to prevent genocide. If there was ever a case for the application of the doctrine of Responsibility to Protect (R2P), this is it! GIPRI will continue demanding accountability and encourages non-governmental organizations and the legal community to submit additional information to the ICC under article 15 of the Rome Statute, addressing them to the International Criminal Court, Boîte Postale 19519, 2500 CM . . .

I lay in Zion a Chief Cornerstone, Elect, Precious
Recent conversations with ministers leave me incredulous. I try to avoid discussion with the many women apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers for the gifts of the five-fold ministry trying to do God a service against His will. Women who are prophets stand, declare God's counsel, sit down and remain silent. Learned ministers surely have a sound knowledge of the letter without the Spirit and faith—a clear understanding of God's unchanging Word. Firmly and boldly they withstand "the present Truth . . ." what Jesus is doing now, restoring the heart of the children to the faith of our apostolic fathers and finishing the mystery of God which is Jesus Christ (Malachi 4:5, 6b; Revelation 10:7). Only God's elect will enter the faith and receive eternal Life.
Graduates of theological college perhaps earn PhD's with letters after their name and high office as Professor, Dr., Bishop or Archbishop while denominational headquarters award their fellows a home and established congregation. Others more dedicated to Kneeology receive answers from our great God by the simplicity of prayer. I Peter 2:6-8, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: he that believes on Him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore Who believe He is precious: but to them who are disobedient, Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Capstone which the builders disallowed, is made the head of the corner, a stone of stumbling, and rock of offence, to them which stumble at the Word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed".
Jesus Christ, the Head of the corner was placed on the Body at the conclusion of the Laodicean Church Age when He claimed the Book, loosed its Seven Seals and revealed their mystery between March 17 and 24, 1963. This is the text verbatim of The Revelation of the Seven Seals. The Lord revealed Nebuchadnezzar's dream through His prophet Daniel. The fourth Gentile world empire is Rome, which "will be strong as iron: inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things: so, like iron that breaks in pieces it crushed and broke all previous Gentile world empires . . . And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they will mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they will not cleave to one another, even as iron does not mix with clay".
We are very late in the day of salvation wherein the great proportion of Christians are unregenerate and most of their ministers have stumbled over Jesus Christ who is the Sole Person of God (Matthew 28:18; Philippians 2:10; Colossians 2:10). Most of these good people believe God is a trinity when the word and the concept are absent from the Bible. This pagan worship arose in ancient Babylon. Please read this extremely well-researched study The Two Babylons (or The Papal Worship Proved to be the Worship of Nimrod and His Wife) by the Rev. Alexander Hislop. And An exposition of the Seven Church Ages. In the New Testament we find the trinity was introduced into the Roman Catholic church which Jesus calls "Mystery, BABYLON THE GREAT." Peter was the apostle to the circumcision, that is to the Israelites; He pastored a Church in Jerusalem. He never set foot in Rome and the first Pope or Universal Bishop was Boniface III (AD607). The Trinity doctrine of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost was introduced after the First Council of Nicaea in AD325 when the Roman Catholic church organized.
The history of the introduction of Babylon's trinity into the Judaeo-Roman Universal church is neither hidden nor lost and it is no secret. The "Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers" collection is a set of 14 volumes. The "Ante-Nicene Fathers" is a separate collection set of 10 volumes. Additionally, there's the "Ante-Nicene Christian Library" which is 24 volumes, though often republished as 8 volumes in America. Finally, the"Second Series" of Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers is 14 volumes. When the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church organized three centuries after Calvary Emperor Constantine determined that there should be one universal religion throughout the Empire and deployed his legions to evangelize at the point of a sword. They martyred communities of genuine Christians. The Papacy's Rome's martyrology of Christians during the middle ages was acores of millions. Should you persist in worshipping this pagan trinity of gods without doing your homework you will be without excuse at the Great White Throne Judgment. God and His Word are unchanging. He was not a trinity in eternity, or at the creation of the world, and He is not a trinity today. He was not a Father prior to the birth of Adam, and He was not a Son before Mary was conceived of the Holy Ghost and gave birth (Matthew 1:20).
Christ has not been a Mediator since He claimed the Book, loosed its Seals and "finished the mystery of God" in 1963; He no longer "winks" at Catholic fables. We must repair to the Bible and to the revelation Jesus Christ sent and signified by His angel, William Branham, unto His servant John who represents Christ's end-time Bride (Revelaion 1:1).
When the Northern Kingdom of Israel adopted the trinity, God sent Shalmaneser V and Sargon II of Assyria to disolve that nation and transport the Ten Tribes to Iran, Iraq and Syria, then the Assyrians relocated their recently defeated colonies from North Africa to Israel where through intermarriage they became Samaritans. Today Israel's Ten Tribes reside safely in Iran and Iraq; they have not returned to the modern Israel State. "for fear of the (non-Semitic Edomite and Khazar) Jews" (so-called).
A number of young ministers in India, Pakistan and Africa have expressed a desire to minister to the Muslims lest they be lost. Here again where we should first have faith. Everyone in Adam's race is born "saved" from mother's womb and remains "saved" unto the age of accoutability which is twelve years for a girl, and 13 years for a boy. The Lord God has granted us free moral agency to do or to refuse with the certainty of reward or punishment. Muslims do not believe in free moral agency, they believe in fate which they call "the will of Allah!." Should a Muslim receive the Lord Jesus Christ (regardless of new birth) it is possible that their family might put them to death. We are close to the close of the Gentile dispensation, duty of ministers is instruct those who are believers in the true Oneness of the godhead, not the false United Pentecostal oneness, and following personal faith be correctly baptized in God's compound redemptive NAME which is Lord Jesus Christ. Ministers and Brethren must understand "The present Truth" and grow to maturity in the unity of the common faith that we might manifest that we are the Sons and Daughters of God prepared for translation.
Only the elect, called and chosen by Jesus Christ will be born-again. Seldom will a denominational Christian or minister be born-again because they are bound by denominational headquarters impersonating the Word fulfilled many centuries age. We must recognize our day and it's Message.
What was the Holy Ghost Given For?
There can be two men, both of them just alike. One of them can be a good man; he could do good works; he could do so forth; but except that man has Eternal Life in him, he'll never rise in the resurrection. He can't do it; there's nothing there to raise. There's nothing to bring him up; there's no life. So you see, my dear brother, my dear sister, except a man be borned again, he can in no wise come back into this Kingdom. He can't. "Except this Corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies . . ." He's talking of Himself. But He had, not perpetual life; He had Eternal Life. And the Life He gave to you, that you might have the same kind of Life . . . And I don't care what you look like, or how these things are, or how unpopular, or popular you are, how pretty, or how ugly; if you've got Eternal Life, there you'll live forever and forever.
When the moon and stars is gone, and the earth has weeped itself into the mountains, and the deserts and everything it's no more, and the world's a-toddling like a drunk man coming home at night, and the stars refuse to shine and fall from the heavens, and the moon turns into blood, and the sun blushes and hides its face, when they see the Son of man coming at the manifestation of the Seventh Trumpet, Sixth Seal and Seventh Vial), you'll shine in the righteousness of Jesus Christ to come forth from the grave as a young, beautiful woman to take your mate and live forever and forever and forever; and all eternal ages you'll still be living. That's what the Holy Ghost is for.
If you feel the least tug, don't turn It away. What is the Holy Ghost? God in you. What's It for? To continue His work among His people; to bring His church together; to bring a church to a place in this day, far beyond the Lutheran, Methodist, and Pentecostal, into a place to a adoption and a rapturing grace, that when this Part of the church, when the Spirit moves into this Church here, it'll just raise. And it'll bring forth, bring forth all of the redeemed that's touched that Spirit. Those Lutherans who stood there with all the Light they had in Justification; those Methodists that fell on the floor, and they throwed water in their face from the Spirit striking them through sanctification; those Pentecostals, that they walked up and down the streets and they called them "tongues demons," and "Jabberers," and "goose language," and all of that; they'll stand in the righteousness in the sight of God at that day just as certain as this Bible stands here. If you believe me to be a servant (You call me His prophet; I don't call myself that, but you listen.), I'm telling you in the Name of the Lord: "Those that are in Christ will God bring with Him at His coming," at the resurrection, and only those that are in Christ (59-1217, What was the Holy Ghost Given For? par. 152, 153a, 154-155; Isaiah 24:19 – 27:13).
You believe in dispensations? Bible said so, "In the dispensation of the fulness of times . . ." What is the fulness of time?
There's been a dispensation of the Mosaic Law. There was a dispensation of John the Baptist. There was a dispensation of Christ. There was a dispensation of church organization. There's dispensation of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Now is the dispensation of adoption (placing), what the world's waiting, groaning. "And when the dispensation of the fulness of times comes" What is that fulness of time? When the dead rises, when sickness ceases, when all the earth ceases to groan. Watch this.
When in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ . . . Aren't you glad? How is He going to do it? Gather together all things in Who? [Congregation says, "Christ" –Ed.] How do you get in Christ? ["By one Spirit" –Ed.] By one Spirit we're all baptized into ["One Body" –Ed.] one Body. And that Body is Who's Body? ["Christ's" –Ed.] Already judged, He took our judgment. Then what are we? "When I see the Blood, I'll pass over you." Every time He looks at the Body, there It is setting there, bloody. I'm in there by how? The Holy Ghost. He passes over.
"That in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him: in Whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who works all things after the counsel of His own will: that we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the Word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory" (Ephesians 1:10-14; 60-0522M, William Branham, Adoption III, par. 163-164; Romans 8:15-25-39).
Ephesians 1:3-11, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us with all Spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (our position His Body, the Church—Ephesians 1:20; 2:6; 3:10; 6:12; Phillippians 3:20), according as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him. In love He predestinated us to the adoption of children through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved."
"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of trespasses, according to the riches of His grace; which He lavished upon us in all wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth, even in Him; in Whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him Who works all things after the counsel of His own will."
"The dispensation of the fullness of times" came after all seven Church Ages of PART-Word were fulfilled, and that which is perfect, the fullness of the Word has come. In Revelation 1:1 God gave the revelation to Jesus and He sent and signified it in Old Testament symbols to His angel Willliam Branham, who signified it to John who represent's—Christ's end-time Bride—not the Church Age saints who were made up when Laodicea ended in 1963. Then Christ descended upon Mount Sunset, caught up Brother Branham into the Pillar of Cloud with the theophanies of the previous six angels and told His Prophet to return to his Church where He would reveal the Seven Seals to "Finish the mystery of God" which is Christ (Revelation 10:7; I Corinthians 13:10-13). Brother Branham had to be caught up because only the fullness of the Spirit could unfold and receive the fullness of the Word. Now the PART-W_O_R_D of the Church Ages "is done away."
When John was caught up in Revelation 4:1-2, you were caught up in theophany with all members of Christ's Body to witness Christ answer the call of the twenty-four elders, claim the Book of Life, loose the Seals and stand in the office Son of Man and Judge. No longer is He interceding for ignorance of the Word. He is gathering the New Testament saints together in the threefold PROCESS of the rapture. The "SHOUT" was "the midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6 when the wise virgin recognized Christ's UNSEEN (Gk) 'parousia' coming "as a thief in the night" (I Thessalonians 5:1-22; II Peter 3:9-10). We have come out to meet Him as prophesied in Revelation 18:4 and Amos 3:3.
The "VOICE of Christ the Archangel" was unfolding the mystery of God through the anointed lips of His vindicated prophet William Branham.
Israel's Seventh TRUMP will sound one Good Friday: the Gentile dispensation will end and we will enter the Day of the Lord, "the heavens will pass away with a great noise, as earth slips on its axis and reels like a drunkard" (Isaiah 2:10-22; 13; Jeremiah, Joel, Amos, and many references. From the third day to Pentecost the sleeping saints will rise Church Age by Church Age, then we shall change in the atoms.
Thus if God has so designed that there be those whose names are placed in a section of the Lamb's Book of Life and cannot be erased for they are the names of His Bride, then we must accept that. If it also states that there are those whose names were placed in the record of the Book of Life but in the foreknowledge of God they were to fall and have their names removed we must accept that. And if there are those whose names were NEVER placed upon a record of life, we must accept that, also. And if there are those who will enter into life eternal after the White Throne judgment solely on the grounds of being good and kind and just to the elect of God who are His brethren, then we cannot but accept that. FOR WHO KNOWETH THE MIND OF THE LORD THAT HE SHOULD INSTRUCT HIM? Rather let us be subject in faith to Him Who is our Father and live.
Water Baptism in Light of the Bible
"There is only one Lord, one faith, and ONE WATER BAPTISM" (Ephesians 4:5). There is but ONE Bible way to be baptized. Was your water baptism scriptural?
WATER – "Can any man forbid WATER that these should not be baptized?" (Acts 10:47).
MUCH WATER – John also was baptizing at Aenon because "there was MUCH WATER there" (John 3:23).
INTO THE WATER – "And they went both down INTO THE WATER, both Phillip and the Eunuch; and he baptized him" (John 8:39).
OUT OF THE WATER – "They came up OUT OF THE WATER" (John 8:39).
BURIED IN WATER – "WE are BURIED with Him by BAPTISM into death" (Romans 6:4).
PLANTED IN WATER – "We have been PLANTED together in the likeness of His death" (Romans 6:5).
Jesus said. 'He that believes and is BAPTIZED shall be SAVED." (Mark 16:16). Peter said, there were eight saved by water in Noah's time, "the like figure whereunto even BAPTISM doth also now SAVE US" (I Peter 3:20-21).
Peter having the keys to the said, "Repent, and be BAPTIZED EVERYONE OF YOU in the Name of Jesus Christ the REMISSION OF SINS" (Acts 2:38). Since BAPTISM is important to salvation and that IMMERSION and not SPRINKLING is the BIBLE method, you should be baptized correctly before it is too late?
BAPTISM IN JESUS' NAME (according to the Bible).
JESUS TAUGHT—"That REPENTANCE AND REMISSION of sins should be preached in HIS NAME beginning at Jerusalem." (Luke 24.47)
PETER OBEYED—"REPENT and be BAPTIZED every one of you in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST for the REMISSION OF SINS." (Acts 2:38-39)
SAMARITANS—"They were BAPTIZED . . . in the NAME of the LORD JESUS." (Acts 8:15)
BAPTISM COMMANDED—"He COMMANDED them to be BAPTIZED in the NAME of the LORD." (Acts 10:48)
PAUL RE-BAPTIZED—"When thev heard this they were BAPTIZED in the NAME of the LORD JESUS." (Acts 19:3-5)
EVERYTHING DONE IN JESUS NAME—"Whatsoever you do in Word or in deed do ALL in the NAME of the LORD JESUS." (Colossians 3:17)
NO OTHER NAME FOR SALVATION—"There is NONE OTHER NAME under Heaven whereby we must be SAVED." (Acts 4:10-12)
SAVED BY BAPTISM—"BAPTISM does also now SAVE us. The answer (response) of a good repented) conscience toward God." (I Peter 3:21)
The above Scriptures are not given to refute but to explain Matthew 28:19, where Jesus told the apostles to baptize in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (which Name is LORD JESUS CHRIST). This was Jesus' command: understanding and obedience thereto is LORD JESUS CHRIST (Luke 24:47; Acts 2:38-39).
The Apostles knew what most religious leaders fail to recognize. First: That the LORD JESUS CHRIST is the FAMILY NAME. (Ephesians 3:I5). Second: The FULLNESS of the GODHEAD (or supreme deity) dwells bodily in Christ. (Colossians 2:9). Third: That baptism must be performed in the NAME of the one crucified. (I Corinthians 1:13).
They knew the Name of the Son was Jesus (Matthew 1:21). They knew that the Son took the Father's Name (John 5:43). Third: That baptism must be performed in the NAME of the One crucified" (I Corinthians 1:13).
They knew that the Name of the Son was Jesus (Matthew 1:21). They also knew that the Holy Ghost was the Spirit of Christ and would come in Jesus' Name (John 14:26).
The Name JESUS means JEHOVAH SALVIOUR (Faussets Bible Encyclopedia, page 359)!
BAPTISM IN JESUS NAME (according to history).
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANICA (11th Ed. Vol. 3, Page 365-366)—"The Baptismal formula was changed from the Name of Jesus Christ to the words Father, Son and Holy Ghost by the Catholic Church in the Third Century" by the First Nicaean Council in AD325.
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANICA (Vol. 3, page 82)—"Everywhere in the oldest sources, it states that Baptism took place in the Name of Jesus Christ."
CANNEY ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION (page 53)—"The early Church always baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus until development of the Trinity Doctrine in the 3rd century."
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA (Vol. 2 page 263)—"Here the Catholics acknowledged that Baptism was changed by the Catholic Church."
DICTIONARY OF THE BIBLE BY SCRIPTURE (Vol. I, page 241)—"The original form of words were into the Name of Jesus Christ, or Lord Jesus. Baptism into the Trinity was a later development."
HASTINGS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION (Vol. 2, page 377-378, 389)—"Christian Baptism was administered using the words "in the Name of Jesus." The use of a Trinity formula of any sort was not suggested in the early Church history. Baptism was always in the Name of the Lord Jesus until the time of Justin Martyr when Triune Formula was used."
HASTINGS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION (Vol. 2, page 377; Acts 2:38)—"NAME was an ancient synonym for "Person." Payment was always made in the name of some person referring to ownership. Therefore one being baptized in Jesus Name became His personal property. "You are Christ's."
NEW INTERNATIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA (Vol. 22, page 477)—"The term "Trinity" was originated by . . . Tertullian, a Roman Catholic Church Father.
HISTORICAL REFERENCES ON CHRISTIAN BAPTISM
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA – Volume 2, page 259, "The true doctrine of the sacrament of baptism is not taught by the Roman Church. Baptism given by heretics in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost with the intention of performing what the Church performs is not true baptism."
HASTINGS DICTIONARY – page 83, "The early Church always baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus until the development of the Trinity. Afterward they were baptized in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost."
CANNEY ENCYCLOPEDIA – page 53, "It must be acknowledged that the formula of the threefold name does not appear to have been employed by the primitive Church, which, so far as our information goes, baptized 'in' or into "the Name of Jesus, or Jesus Christ (or the Lord Jesus), without reference to the Father or the Spirit."
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITIANICA – Volume 3, page 82, "Everywhere in the oldest sources it is stated that baptism taken is "in the Name of Jesus"
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITIANICA – Volume 3, page 84, "Whoever has received this sacrament bares indelible to all eternity the mark of Christ."
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGIONS – page 53, "Persons were baptized at first in the Name of Jesus Christ, or "in the Name of the Lord Jesus." Afterwards, with the development of the doctrine of the trinity, they were baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
NEW CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPAEDIA – page 59, states that until the 11th Century, baptism throughout Christendom was by immersion according to Acts 2:38 and elsewhere in the Bible and not until after AD325 was sprinkling in Titles practiced.
Teaching for Doctrines the Commandments of Men
Speaking in the junction of time wherein Old Testament shadows would be fulfilled in Christian substance, Jesus condemned the denominations of His day:, "In vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men . . . you reject the Commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition" (Mark 7:7, 9). A junction in time confronts us: "Christ the Word has come; PART-Word is done away" (I Corinthians 13:10-12). Today Jesus condemns "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF denominational HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. He saw the Roman church drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when He wondered with amazement . . . she has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every unclean spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the passion of her immorality, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of earth are waxed rich through the wealth of her sensuality. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that you may not partake of her guilt, and that you receive not of her plagues" (Revelation 17:5-6; 18:1-4).
The second voice from heaven echoed through the lips of Brother Branham warning that by remaining in Babylon her (once) Protestant daughters would sanction their sins and contaminate themselves. God's Word calls for a total separation from unbelief.
In Genesis 14 and 15 Melchisedec—"the Lord God Most High in the form of a created Man, possessor of heaven and earth"—met Abram and covenanted His seed in all nations of Adam's race and the Land and Palestine. He prophesied the virgin-born Jesus Christ in the likeness of Melchisedec, a Priest forever according to the Office of Melchisedec, "the guarantee of a new and better Covenant making the Mosaic Covenant obsolete as one sovereign priest, a minister in the heavenly sanctuary not made with hands" (Hebrews 7). In Genesis 16-18 Hagar bore Abram's son Ishmael, then when Abram was ninety-nine the Lord establishes a new and everlasting covenant with all of his descendants throughout their generations, and changes his name to Abraham, and Sarai to Sarah, promising she will bear Abraham a son in his hundredth year.
"And the LORD appeared to Abraham in the plains of Mamre: as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; and he lift up his eyes and looked, and three men stood by him: and he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, and said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in your sight, do not pass your servant by." This was no trinity just Melchisedek and two created men. And God "discerned the thoughts and intents of Abraham and Sarah's hearts" confirming the different witnesses the sole Person of God" (singular). Hebrews 4:12 is the Messianic sign whereby Abraham and Jesus' disciples knew that Jesus was the Christ.
Christ's end-time Bride is promised a vindicated prophet, William Branham (Isaiah 42:9; 48:5; 61:2b; Amos 3:6-8; Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 17:11; Revelation 1:1; 10:7; 22:6-11, 14-15, 17-21) who veiled and revealed Jesus Christ in the office Son of man, healing the sick, restoring sight to the blind, making cripples whole , raising the dead and "discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart by discerning the thoughts and intents" (Hebrews 4:12). Jesus prophesied, "As it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed" Luke 17:28-30. And it was so.
Listen to God's prophet William Branham, "Is there anybody here who come from out of town, that I don't know, that's here to be prayed for? Raise up your hands that I don't know. Raise your hands up; I don't know.
You, you there, I believe the little fellow with the mustache back there, somebody raised their hand back in that way. Yeah, you, did you raise your hand? All right back there, you, sir. All right. You all strangers to me? Is that Lord Jesus, the same Shepherd of the flock here? You believe His promises is true? He anoints His church, and "The works that I do, shall you also. Even greater than this shall you do, for I go unto My Father. More than this." You believe that?
Did you raise your hand that you didn't know me? You believe God can tell me what's in your heart, can speak to me just like He did the woman touched His garment? You believe He's a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities? If God will reveal to me your conditions, will you believe me to be His prophet, believe that His Presence is here and that's why He permits it? You're praying for your wife. She's got a broken hip, dislocated hip. That's right. If it's right, raise up. All right, go find her well. Amen.
What about you back there, the little fellow that raised up, that had the mustache? You believe with all your heart? Do you believe God could tell me your troubles? You believe your son will get all right? You do? Got a boy; he's got cerebral palsy. That's right. You're not . . . It's from Kentucky. If that's right, raise up your hand. I don't know you, do I? If I do . . . Raise your hands like this, we don't know one another. That's right. Trusting to God, do you believe? As you believe, find your boy the way you believe. Just put you on your heart . . .?. . .
Who was it here raised up their hands, that I didn't—didn't . . . Was it you? All right, mister, do you believe me to be God's prophet? You do, with all your heart? You don't have to get up, just stand right there. All right, sir, what's your trouble, you've got sugar diabetes. And it's bothering your foot. You're from Ohio. Your name's Mr. Miller. Go back home and get well. All right, believe with all your heart. All right.
You believe with . . . ? If you can believe . . .
The lady setting here, did you raise your hand? Big lady, glasses on, you believe with all your heart? You believe, lady? You believe me to be God's servant? You do? All right, if God can tell me what's your trouble, will you believe? Heart trouble. All right, raise up your hand if that's right. All right.
The lady here next to you, raised up. Heart; but it's really your eyes. I know her. All right, if thou canst believe . . .
Back there, the next man back there's got heart trouble too and a skin disease. Do you believe that God will make you well? You do, sir?
There's a man back there somewhere, raised up his hands that didn't . . . Mr. Schubert. All right, sir. All right, do you believe? It's for your eyes also, isn't it? You're praying for your mother setting out there also. If that's right, raise up your hand. We're strangers. Is that right? Shake your hand; shake your hand to one another. All right, that's right. If you can believe, you can receive.
The risen Jesus Christ is in the building. He's the same One. What does it do to you? Have you let the world sap all the strength out of you? Glory. I want new birth. I want new Life. I don't care what plane it comes on, if I have to be a holy-roller, anything. I don't care what plane it comes on; I want the real Holy Ghost like is on me now. I want to keep it. I'd rather have it than all the things of the world. Amen. Do you believe? Do you believe He's here?
Lay your hands on one another then. Tell me one more thing He could do: nothing. Have faith now. Believe it's over.
Lord God, Creator of heavens and earth, Author of Eternal Life, and Giver of all good gifts, Thy Spirit is here so anointing, Lord, looks like the building's a-breathing, moving back and forth. Why can't the people understand it, Lord? Have they—have they associated with the world so much, and got so cold and formal and starchy, till they can't know You anymore? Lord God, may this power strike everyone, and every sick person be healed, every sinner saved, and God get glory. Through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, I ask it. Amen.
Do you believe it? Raise up your hands. Do you accept your healing? God bless you. Now, go and find it just the way you believe, it'll be that way. I see visions breaking over others. That's right. I got to come back tonight.
If you don't believe now, you ain't going to never believe. That's right. Jesus did it one time, and they said, "We know when Messiah cometh, He'll tell us this." She said, "I know the Messiah will do that. But who are You?"
He said, "I'm He." Then she run into the city and said, "Come, see a Man Who knowed what I was and what I've done. Isn't this the Messiah?"
He said, "These things will form again in the last days. The Church will be preaching the truth; it'll be standing on the Word. It'll be you doing all the commandments of God. It'll not associate with the world. And through there I'll move and do the same things." (59-0628M, A Deceived Church, by the World, par.97-111).
