America's Department of War – Mere Symbolism or Bad Omen of Things to Come?
September 9, 2025 — On September 5, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War . . . Trump pointed out that the founders of the United States established the DoW as such to "win wars, inspiring awe and confidence in our Nation's military, and ensuring freedom and prosperity for all Americans". He also claimed that the US supposedly "won the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II" . . . The Anglo-American War of 1812 ended in a status quo ante bellum, at best. Namely, the British military took and burned Washington DC, including the White House, Capitol Hill and other government buildings.
As for WWI and WWII, the very idea that the US military "won" the two bloodiest conflicts in human history is beyond ridiculous. If anything, Russia contributed far more, particularly during WWII, when approximately 80% of all Axis forces were destroyed on the Eastern Front. However, this fact is almost entirely sidelined in the American public discourse, to say nothing of Trump's rather limited understanding of history, military science or essentially anything outside of his scope of interests.

Global War on Terrorism
September 8, 2025 — The commemoration of 9/11 24 years later; one of the most momentous and tragic events in America's history. This video focuses on the unanswered questions of 9/11. What was the role of Al Qaeda and the alleged "act of war" by Afghanistan against the USA on the morning of September 11, 2001. Osama bin Laden was hospitalized on September 10th, 2001.

Empire's Echo: from Caracas to Gaza
September 7, 202 — There is a pattern to how empire speaks. It criminalizes resistance, rewrites history, and recasts domination as defense. Whether the target is a Latin American leader, a Palestinian movement, or an Iranian militia, the language is the same: terrorism, fanaticism, chaos. The goal is not just to justify violence—it's to make it feel inevitable.
This is the logic behind the Trump administration's $50 million bounty on Nicolás Maduro. Framed as a crackdown on "narco-terrorism," it's a textbook case of regime change propaganda. The bounty is not about justice—it's about spectacle. It tells the world who the villain is, and it sets the stage for assassination as policy.
But this logic doesn't stop at Caracas. It echoes across the propaganda Hugo B has been spouting in our exchanges on Medium.
Who is Hugo B?
Hugo B is a prolific commenter whose posts consistently reproduce the ideological scaffolding of US and Israeli foreign policy. Over the course of our exchanges, he has:Reduced Palestinian resistance to "jihadist nihilism"
Blamed Arab states for the Nakba while absolving Zionist militias
Dismissed refugee status as a weapon to prolong war
Denied the right of return, the right to resist, and the right to narrate
Framed Jewish self-determination as sacred while denying Palestinian existence
Rejected international law when it affirms Palestinian rights. His language is not original—it's derivative of a broader imperial playbook. And it mirrors the same tactics used to justify US intervention in Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, and Palestine . . .
The Broader Pattern
From South America to the Middle East, US foreign policy follows a formula:
1. Identify resistance as extremism
2. Deploy economic, military, or legal force
3. Control the narrative through media and proxies
4. Justify intervention as humanitarian or defensive
This isn't diplomacy. It's imperial management . . .
If peace is ever to be real—whether in Venezuela, Palestine, Iraq, or Iran—it must begin by dismantling the propaganda that criminalizes resistance and sanctifies domination. It must reject the logic that says sovereignty is only legitimate when it aligns with US interests, and that survival is only moral when it belongs to the powerful . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca
Cartel Insiders are Plotting to Oust RFK Jr.
September 7, 2025 — A leaked memo from one of the pharma cartel's most powerful trade groups has revealed a desperate plan to push RFK Jr. out of his role as United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). The document, apparently originating from a closed-door meeting of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), shows that industry leaders are prepared to spend millions of dollars lobbying Congress and manipulating public opinion to force Kennedy from his job. At stake is not just US government vaccine policy, but the deeper question of who actually runs public health in America—democratically elected officials, or the corporations that profit from disease . . .

Trump, Oil and Gunboat Diplomacy
September 7, 2025 — During his first term, Trump was advised against a military invasion of Venezuela by his then national security advisor, H.R. McMaster. Instead of direct military action, Trump settled on an aggressive campaign of sanctions and diplomatic pressure to take down the government in Caracas. In addition to imposing sanctions on the Venezuelan oil sector and targeting financial transactions, Washington blocked Venezuelan debt purchases in 2018 and targeted companies and individuals linked to the Venezuelan government.
. . . Venezuelan economy collapsed and a humanitarian crisis followed. The oil sector sanctions resulted in reduced production and income and generated widespread poverty . . . 82-95% of Venezuelans live in poverty, with around 53-77% living in extreme poverty, unable to afford basic food and other essentials . . . "a well-planned military-civilian coup d'etat had taken place that day and that those involved were connected to the highest levels of the US government" . . . Trump Murders Suspected "Narcoterrorists" in Violation of International Law . . . Trump admin. insists it is combating international drug trafficking, the truth of the matter lies elsewhere. In early 2025, it was estimated Venezuela's crude oil production was approximately 900,000 barrels per day. The South American country has the largest reserve of oil in the world . . . first Trump administration, then national security adviser John Bolton admitted the US wanted to target Venezuela and destroy its ability to export oil . . . Trump is determined to depose Maduro, install a compliant dictator, and turn the bounty of oil over to transnational petroleum corporations. Full story: globalresearch.ca
Globalization & Battle for Oil
September 6, 2025 — President Trump claims Venezuela smuggling narcotics into the USA. "And there's more where that came from. There are a lot of drugs pouring into our country. These came out of Venezuela, a lot of things are coming out of Venezuela. We took it out!" Full story: rumble.com

Defunct Weaponization of US Dollar
September 6, 2025 — The Shanghai Cooperation Organization's (SCO) summit in Beijing, marked by both symbolism and substance, underscored the slow erosion of Western financial dominance. While mainstream coverage focused on China's military parade, the real significance lies in the economic agenda advanced by SCO members. Discussions of a potential SCO Development Bank, expanded use of local currencies, and closer coordination with BRICS initiatives point to a growing determination across Eurasia and the Global South to challenge the monopoly long exercised by the United States and its allies through the IMF, the World Bank, and the dollar system.
For decades, these Western-controlled institutions have functioned as instruments of geopolitical leverage. Structural adjustment programs dismantled social protections, imposed privatization, and locked countries into cycles of debt dependency.
The dollar, presented as a neutral global currency, has been repeatedly weaponized through sanctions, financial exclusion, and manipulation of international payment systems. In this context, the SCO's economic discussions must be seen for what they are: not technical proposals, but acts of resistance. By seeking alternatives to dollar-based finance and conditional lending, SCO members are asserting that the age of Western financial coercion is no longer uncontested . . .

Climate CO2 Hoax & Flaw$ of Green Energy
September 5, 2025 — Climate CO2 Hoax—How Bankers Hijacked the Environment Movement provides evidences and testimonies from renowned international climate scientists that contradict the UN assertion that climate change is caused by CO2 emissions or methane. (The 1992 UN Rio Earth summit involved the establishment of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as an international environmental treaty to combat "dangerous human interference with the climate system"—a treaty signed by 154 states).
In the book I refer to the conclusion of the Climate Intelligence Foundation (CLINTEL): climate changes naturally and slowly in its own cycle; CO2 emissions or methane from livestock . . . are not dominant factors in climate change. The number of signatories of the CLINTEL World Climate Declaration has now risen to 2,000.
Coincidentally the conclusions of the Climate Intelligence foundation include the following:"There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming… Warming is far slower than predicted… Climate policy relies on inadequate models… CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth: CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide."
Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, and President of Greenpeace in Canada for seven years, states:
"The whole climate crisis is not only fake news its fake science . . . of course climate change is real it's been happening since the beginning of time, but it's not dangerous and it's not caused by people… Most of the scientists who are saying it's a crisis are on perpetual government grants… you don't have a plan to feed 8 billion people without fossils fuels or get the food into the cities…" – Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace
I also have experience in the field, including at United Nations Environment; at the UK Government Dept of Energy and Climate Change; and as a PhD researcher on the subject of sustainability. See also the books Climate CO2 Hoax and Transcending the Climate Change Deception Toward Real Sustainability.
The (Jewish criminal organization) United Nations and the globalist Davos World Economic Forum declared the necessity of reaching a worldwide goal of "net zero carbon" by 2050. Massive transformations have been underway worldwide setting the stage for creation of what in the 1970's was called the New International Economic Order. In reality it is a blueprint for worldwide technocratic totalitarian corporate-communism. The EU, a political project of globalists from its very inception, has been leading this agenda and plans to become the world's first "carbon neutral" continent by 2050 and reduce its CO2 emissions by at least 55% by 2030.
With a (Jewish) virtual monopoly on mainstream media as well as social media, the 'climate change is caused by CO2' lobby brainwashed much of the world into believing that we should eliminate hydrocarbons including petroleum, natural gas, and coal. This bogus claim is cover for an ulterior agenda. CO2 is not carbon or soot, it is an invisible, odorless gas essential to plant photosynthesis and all life forms on earth, including us . . .

Future of Gaza as seen from White House
September 3, 2025 — On August 27, President Donald Trump convened meeting at the White House to gather suggestions for the future of Gaza . . . No statement was released after this consultation. However, according to the Washington Post, the Gaza Strip would be "administered by the United States for at least 10 years while it is transformed into a glittering tourist resort and a center for high-tech manufacturing and technology." A colossal $100 million would be invested there.
This possible operation is in line with the vision of the "Jacksonians." In 1830, President Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) enacted the Indian Removal Act. To end the Indian wars, he proposed assigning them reservations rather than continuing to massacre them. The transfer of the Indians was particularly deadly for the Cherokees . . . Jackson's method succeeded in ending the genocide of the Indians, but at what cost?
Trump's plan, currently in development, is just as shocking to Palestinians as Jackson's was to the Cherokee . . . participants at the White House meeting considered paying $23,000 per person to any family willing to go into exile. Contacts already made with Libya, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Indonesia, and Somaliland, although none of these states has confirmed this. Full story: voltairenet.org
American Imperialists slowing down Trumpist Revolution
May 20, 2025 — In the courts that President Donald Trump is fighting to dissolve the organs of imperialism. For example, the Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) hastily dismissed officials from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), especially those from the US Institute for Peace (USIP) and the National Endowment for Democracy (NRD), but is failing to clean up the very obscure Bureau of the Fiscal Service.
First, Elon Musk was tasked with showing everyone that USAID is not the humanitarian aid agency it claimed to be, but a "criminal organization" (sic). It revealed $200 million in questionable overseas spending, including $1.5 million for Cuban opposition media, $2 million for a transgender comic strip in Peru, $2.1 million for the BBC in Libya, $8 million to buy subscriptions to Politico Pro, $10 million for meals for al-Qaeda-funded terrorist groups, $15.4 million for LGTBQI+ organizations, $20 million to produce an Iraqi version of "Sesame Street," $75 million for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, and $150 billion aimed at building "an equitable world with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions" by 2030.
Republican Senator Joni Ernst (Iowa) also revealed to Congress that the so-called humanitarian agency USAID had paid $1 million in Ukraine to a $300,000 to the Ukraine Pet Alliance, which sells dog collars, $148,000 to a pickle company, $319,000 to a meatpacking plant, and $89,000 to a vineyard.
The imperialist opposition to the Trumpist revolution hasn't had its last word. It is dragging out presidential decisions until the next midterm elections, hoping they will be lost by the Trumpists. Until then, it is creating new structures to take over when the current Congress no longer votes for it. Full story: voltairenet.org
Conversation with a Pastor
The focus of our ministry, indeed the witness of every truly born-again Christian and every genuine Christian Church is to "walk in the Light as He is in the Light," and not impersonate the Light of a day gone by: "the PRESENT Truth," what Jesus is doing NOW (II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7). This diagram reveals Christ Mediating between the Head and fullness of the Word and seven successive Church Ages of part-Word while the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals. The angel to Laodicea was William Branham, the "Elijah" of Malachi 4:5, 6b and Matthew 17:11. His ministry spearheaded the healing revival following World War II and restored the faith of our apostolic fathers "before the great and dreadful Day of the Lord".
God unfolded His promise to Abraham through the Law to "Israel," the two Kingdoms, apostasy, Deicide and 2,000 years of perfidy (read Romans 9:1-33). Sin is unbelief in God's revealed Word. Natural Israel was expelled from the Promised Land, making His Covenant of no effect to them. The Gentile dispensation will soon end and the Lord will turn to 144,000 elect souls of the pure lineage of Jacob/Israel. The Laodicean Church Age ended in apostasy in 1965 (read II Timothy 3:1 - 4:5; Revelation 3:15-20).
Hebrews 6:4-8, "It is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good Word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame. For the earth which drinks in the rain that comes oft upon it, and brings forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receives blessing from God: but that which bears thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned".
Like Israel the churches pretend they are all Christians because they believe in Jesus Christ which is hypocrisy and "works without faith is dead" (James 2:26). "How can two walk together, except they be agreed on the revealed Word of God" (Amos 3:3)? How can a Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist or Pentecostal walk together when they represent seven distinct, successive and progressive Church Ages (I Corinthians 12:1-31). That is not the "present Truth".
Christ's mediation for ignorance of the fullness of God's Word ceased when He claimed the Book, loosed the Seals and revealed them through His prophet William Branham, thus "finishing the mystery of God" (I Corinthians 13:8-13; Revelation 5; 10:7).
Christ has not been a Mediator since He opened and revealed the Seven Seals in 1963; that was sixty-two years ago!
Pastor: If Christ is not the mediator then you and I are helpless, hopeless, and lost. I Timothy 2:5, "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all people."
BB: Like sacrificing a lamb or a goat, Christ's Mediation is finished and fulfilled past tense since March 1963.
Christ was a Mediator in the office Son of God throughout each of the seven Church Ages throughout which the Bible was sealed from the foundation of the World. Thus Christ was interceding for the ignorance of His elect. He sent an angel or messenger to each Church Age with a specific measure of faith. He received the "present Truth" revealed by the angel of the current age, "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent" (Acts 17:30). Their ignorance of the fullness of the Word is now revealed.
As you can see there was a different portion of Word and Spirit for each of the seven dispensations. What redeemed the saints of the Sardis Church Age could not baptize them into the Philadelphian Church Age, and what baptized elect Laodicean or Pentecostal saints into their part of the Body will not baptize anyone into the Body today because the Laodicean saints and all previous Church Ages are made up. Laodicea ended in apostasy (Revelation 3:17-20) and is over. Paul explained, when that which is perfect or complete was come, that which was in part and mediation was "done away with" (I Corinthians 13:10-13).
If you turn to Revelation 4 and 5 you will find that Christ has claimed the Book, loosed and revealed the Seven Seals (Revelation 10:7). We now have the fullness of the Word and have no need of Mediation as we are predestined to recognize and receive the revelation when it is presented to us. Thus when John, who represents Christ's end-time Bride throughout the Apocalypse, was called to "come up hither," Christ's end-time Bride was caught up in the PROCESS of the rapture: Shout, Voice, and at the close of the Gentile dispensation, Trump . . . resurrection of the sleeping saints Church Age by Church Age, then the translation of His end-time Bride.
Please lay this aside if you are unable to receive it immediately and ask the Lord to explain this to you.
Pastor: If Christ is not the mediator then you and I are helpless, hopeless, and lost.
BB: You should admit "If I require a Mediator 62 years after all Church Ages and Christ's mediation is fulfilled" you are not born-again because Christ has been calling His people OUT of Rome and her apostate once Protestant daughter Churches according to Revelation 18:1 since Laodicea ended.
May Jesus Christ bless you with understanding. Be prayerful and patient. Present tense.
Pastor: I did not even read the rest, because the mediation of Christ between God and humanity is the gospel. If you miss that, you miss the gospel.
The Seven Church Ages
Our Lord God is omniscient, having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness and understanding of all things past, present and future. The thoughts of God are eternal and they are real; He is unchangeable in both essence and behaviour (Hebrews 13:8). Because He is infinite in His abilities, He as God must be omniscient, therefore He is not now thinking or even taking counsel with Himself and He will never have a new thought because all of His thoughts He has always had and always will have. He knows the end from the beginning because He is God.
This diagram represents God; not the circle, for God is an invisible Spirit without form. He is represented by the dots in the circle which signify His eternal thoughts; if you are an elect Son or Daughter of God you are an Attribute of God and eternal with God. You did not receive eternal Life following a grand sermon, you are eternal "without beginning of days or end of life" born-anew by a clear revelation of the Word for your day—you recognized who you are. "When the Son of man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, He shall sit upon the throne of His glory and say, Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world . . . enter into My rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. Our Lord Jesus Christ chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love" (Matthew 25:31-33; Hebrews 4:3; Ephesians 1:3-4).
The first Adam knew he was God's spoken Word so when He learned of Eve's terrible sin he crossed the Life-line by faith to save the woman he loved, knowing this would bring the whole creation subject to sin and death (Romans 5:12). But as an eternal Attribute God must redeem Him somehow sometime, then Eve would be redeemed as they are one flesh through the marriage union (Genesis 2:24). Thus when Jesus Christ the last Adam resurrected, the sins of His many-membered Bride and all Attributes—past, present and future—were remitted.
Geologists, paleontologists, archaeologists and other scientists believe the universe was millions, maybe light years in the making and we know from the Genesis record that it was six thousand years in preparation for habitation. "And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day of one thousand years" (Genesis 1:31; II Peter 3:8).
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" beautiful. "The beginning" refers to the first existence of that with which the history is concerned—"the heaven and the earth." God was before the things that are seen, and He by His supreme volition called them into being. They were created (Heb.) 'bara' out of nothing but His spoken Word, then (Heb.) 'asah' fashioned out of existing material, and (Heb.) 'yatsar' molded or squeezed into shape as a potter does to clay. The heaven mentioned in Genesis 1 is the starry heaven, not the firmament or expanse immediately surrounding earth.
Since the Fall God has never revealed anything to gratify a mere thirst for knowledge; only such as may sufficiently illustrate His everlasting power and Godhead, our own fallen condition with its remedy of unfathomable love, the promise of a speedy deliverance from sin, a complete restoration to His favour, and a never-ending life of perfect obedience and perfect joy. Knowledge in this life is a gift fraught with peril: His dealings with us now are to the end that He may withdraw us from our own purpose, and hide pride from us (Job 33:27-28). It is an ominous fact that after the fall, the first inventors of the arts and sciences were physical Serpent's seed, the descendants of the deist and murderer Cain who believed in a creator God but rejects revelation as a source of divine knowledge.
Genesis 3:17-19, "Unto Adam God said, Because you have hearkened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you saying, You shall not eat of it: cursed is the ground for your sake; in sorrow you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles shall it bring forth; and you shall eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, until you return to the ground; for out of it you were taken: for dust you are, and to dust you shall return." Doubtless it was from this time that the whole creation was subjected to the vanity of fruitless toil, ceaseless unrest and perpetual decay, in which it has since groaned and travailed in pain together until now (Romans 8:22).
Genesis 3:4-5, "The serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die: for God knows that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." Her eyes and those of her husband were indeed opened; but only to see themselves, to behold their own sad condition of nakedness and shame. While they remained in obedience, the spirit which God had breathed into them retained its full power and vigour. Its pervading influence defended their whole being from the inroads of corruption and death while at the same time its brightness, shining through the covering of flesh, shed a lustrous halo around them; so that the grosser element of their bodies was concealed within a veil of radiant glory. And thus, as the rulers of creation, they were strikingly distinguished from all the creatures which were placed under them.
John and Paul tell us that, when we are summoned into the presence of the Lord Jesus, we shall be like Him, that He will change the body of our humiliation into the likeness of the body of His glory. Nor are we left in ignorance as regards the nature of the body of His glory; for upon Mount Transfiguration He permitted the chosen three to behold the Son of Man as He will appear when He comes in His kingdom. There His spirit, ever restrained and hidden during His earthly sojourn, was suddenly freed, and in an instant His whole person was beaming with splendour. Like Moses, His face shone as the sun and His raiment was white as the light (Matthew 17:2; 13:43; Exodus 34:29-35; Daniel 12:2-3). For every living creature has its own proper covering, not put on from without but developed naturally from within; man alone is destitute and compelled to have recourse to artificial aids, because through sin he has lost his natural power of shedding forth a most glorious raiment of light. Hence we may see why our Lord preferred the robe of the humble lily, Brother Branham's Mr. Lily, to all the magnificence of Solomon.
The Lord listened to what Adam and Eve had to say and patiently gave them every opportunity of defending themselves, but when He turned to the Serpent His manner changed. He asked him no questions and gave him no chance of defence; but treating him as already condemned, immediately pronounced sentence.
"As the days of Noah were, so shall the post 1963 unseen (Gk.), 'parousia' Coming of the Son of man be" (Matthew 25:37). "God will come with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire; to plead with all flesh by fire and by His sword" (Isaiah 66:15-16; I Peter 3:7). The first mentioned characteristic of those former days of wickedness and peril is a circumstance which has tended, not merely to diffuse, but at the same time to intensify sin. For every form of evil which exists in thinly populated countries will also be found where men have multiplied; while there are countless vices peculiar to crowded districts, where men are numerous they support each other in rebellion and are prone to become far more daring and defiant of God. And the physical Serpent's seed sons of Lamech, speedily followed no doubt by many others, had introduced the mechanical and fine arts, and devised unlawful means of evading the labour imposed by the curse. And in that age, instead of being cut off at three score and ten, men lived on for nearly a thousand years; their immense accumulation of knowledge, experience, and skill must have advanced science, art, and the invention and manufacture of all the appliances of a luxurious civilization with a rapidity to us almost inconceivable until automation and . . . Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Genesis 6:1-7, 11-13, "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the (Adamic) sons of God saw the daughters of men (Cain's race) that they were fair; and they took women of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for Adamites are also flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years."
"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that (on this side of the Flood), when the sons of God came in to the (Cainite) daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."
"And the LORD repented that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for I repent that I have made them."
"The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." As Jesus foretold, the conditions of Noah's day have repeated: this time the world will be destroyed by fire (II Peter 3:3-7).
Doubtless many of the mighty labours accomplished by the earlier descendants sprung from reminiscences of pristine grandeur, and fragments of lore, handed down by forefathers who had passed a portion of their existence in the previous age of human glory and depravity. Such may have been the daring conception of a cloud-capped tower of Babel; the stupendous splendidly decorated edifices of Babylon and Nineveh; and the wondrous structure of the Great Pyramid, involving, as it does, an accurate knowledge of astronomical truth which would seem to have been at least on a level with the vaunted advances of modern science. For all these great efforts were in progress during the lifetime of Japheth, Shem, Ham, and Canaan the Serpent's seed (Earth's Earliest Ages, G. H. Pember).
Genesis 10:1 gives the "generations" (Heb. 'towldah'—pedigree or genealogical lists of the blood-descendants) of Noah's three sons who are named in order of their theocratic importance, not their age. Shem represented the believer, Ham the make-believer, and Japheth the unbeliever. However the descendants of Japheth, Noah's first-born, are treated first in this prophecy. They occupied the desirable lands of the "goy" beyond the sea from Israel, families of a common language settling under the headship of patriarchs following the dispersal from Babel and taking their identity from their names. Next, the descendants of Noah's younger son, Ham, whose estate has been degraded in that his firstborn was the illegitimate Canaan, who is cursed with his Serpent's seed forebears, is not one to passively submit to Noah's prophecy. Ham's practical nature rebelled against that Word in his son Cush; and in his son Nimrod ( biblebelievers.au).
God now set to raise an obedient and faithful people through Shem and the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to Abraham's promised seed. God sent Moses to lead his people and take possession of the promised Land, "an eleven day journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir in Saudi Arabia unto Kadesh-barnea" (Deuteronomy 1:2). Moses found them to be a "sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, and provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger" (Isaiah 1:2-9). They perished in the wilderness and their descendents would reject their Messiah Jesus.
Moses introduced the Law under the blood Covenant Israel broke to worship the Golden Calf (Deuteronomy 9:18, 25). Israel was bound to observe seven annual feasts which were "a shadow of things to come (under the New Testament), but the body is of Christ" (Colossians 2:17). Passover, observed on Nisan 14, was the first feast (Leviticus 23:4-5). Passover typed the crucifixion of Israel's rejected Messiah Jesus Christ who had not one drop of Semitic blood, being the created blood of God (Revelation 1:5). He had no association with "original sin" and did not have the nature of his parents—or "the god of this evil age"—as He was not conceived in iniquity nor born in sin, but faith. Consequently He did not "enter the world speaking lies." Jesus was Abraham's promised Seed and the answer to the Devil's question. Abraham's seed is the Spiritual, not physical birth. Calvary ended the Hebre wdispensation and the Law.
Passover was followed on Nisan 15 by the feast of Unleavened Bread which must be eaten seven days; the first and seventh day must be holy convocations wherein no servile work may be performed (Leviticus 23:6-8). Unleavened bread types the pure Word of God with nothing added to or taken therefrom (John 14:26; 16:13; Revelation 22:17-20). This was the apostolic faith of the primitive Church prior to the Seven Church Ages of Revelation 2 and 3.
Israel entered the Promised Land at Harvest time, Nisan 14. "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest: and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. And you shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf a he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD . . ."
The feast of Firstfruits on Nisan 16 (Resurrection Sunday) was a holy convocation that began the count of fifty days to the Feast of Pentecost on Sivan 6/7 (Leviticus 9-14). Because the first-born is preeminent the priest waived the sheaf or omer of first fruits typing Jesus Christ the first resurrected glorified Son thus consecrating the whole harvest of Old and New Testament saints to the Lord (Matthew 27:52-53; John 12:24; I Corinthians 15:20).Introduction to An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages
"Though this volume will concern itself with various major doctrines (such as the Godhead, Water Baptism, etc.) found in Revelation, chapters One through Three, its main theme is the setting forth of a detailed study of the Seven Church Ages. This is necessary in order to study and understand the rest of the Revelation, for out of the Ages come the Seals, and out of the Seals come the Trumpets, and out of the Trumpets come the Vials. Like the first burst of a Roman candle, the Church Ages come forth with a mighty initial illumination, without which there could be no further Light. But once the brilliance of the Seven Church Ages is given by Divine revelation, Light upon Light follows, until the whole of the Revelation opens wide before our wondering eyes; and we, edified and purified by its Spirit, are made ready for His glorious appearing, even our Lord and Saviour, the One True God, Jesus Christ" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, Introduction, page 1:1).
The Feast of Pentecost types the Seven Church Ages of PART W_O_R_D during Christ's ministry in the Office Son of God and Mediator. "Now, Revelation, the first three chapters, deals with the Church, then the Church disappears. We see It no more until the end time. From Revelation 1 to 3, is the Church; Revelation 4 to 19, is Israel, a nation; and 19 to 22, is both, together. And the plagues and the warnings, and so forth, at the end! Set in three parts. See? And we're taking the first three chapters, pertaining to the Church, and the church age that we're living in" (60-1205M, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, par. 24). Brother Branham lived in Laodicea 'til it ended in 1963 when Christ claimed the Book, loosed its Seals, descended on Mount Sunset with the little Book open in His left hand and caught Brother Branham up into "a great Cloud of witnesses" (Hebrews 12:1; Revelation 10:1-2). The Seven Church Ages, Christ's mediation for ignorance of the fullness of the Word, redemption and the first Four Seals are fulfilled. He came "as a thief in the night," resumed the prophetic Office Son of man, wigged as the Supreme Judge of all Eternity confirming the Message of this hour. John who represents the end-time Bride throughout the Book was caught up in Revelation 4 by the "shout" of Matthew 25:6 into the threefold PROCESS of the 'rapture' (I Thessalonians 4:16a; Revelation 18:1) to witness with the Church Age saints in theophany Jesus Christ claiming and opening the little Book of Redemption in Revelation 5.
Whereas the former sheaf wave offering marked the absolute beginning of the grain harvest with barley, the fiftieth day marks the completion of the grain harvest with the reaping of wheat as prepared for food: "two loaves baked with leaven were waved before the Lord as a consecration dedicated to God." Because of the leaven they could not be offered on the altar. The loaves represent the sleeping Church Age saints moldering into the leaven of dust and Christ's end-time Bride whose leaven is our sin-born mortal flesh (Leviticus 23:15-21).
Christ came back upon His end-time Bride when the Day of Pentecost was fully come again (Acts 2:2). The 7 X 7 weeks or forty-nine day-years confirm that the Seven Church Ages are fulfilled, we live in the fiftieth day or Pentecostal jubilee: a kind of firstfruits of God's creatures—God-men—the grain again! Under the Seventh Seal "There is silence in heaven. As soon as He gets His Church in speaking conditions, gets His Church to a place that He can flow Himself through, and love, and persuade, and fellowship, then there'll come an Eden. He'll take His Church back to where it left Him at back to an Eden again. Now, that's where it made its first start of fall; there's where it'll be taken right back with every clean slate of redemption, bringing them straight back to that place again" (59-1217, What was the Holy Ghost Given For? par. 32)—to understand the Third Pull and to display the Token (Romans 8:18-19; I Corinthians 1:4-8).
Luke 21:25-33. "There shall be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring (tsunamis); men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift your heads; for your redemption draws nigh. And He spoke in a parable; Behold the fig tree (Israel), and all the trees (national revivals); when they shoot forth, you see and know that summer is now nigh at hand. Likewise when you see these things come to pass, you know that the kingdom of God is nigh. This generation shall not pass, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall change: but My Words shall remain".
"God calls a jubilee every forty-ninth year; the fiftieth year was the jubilee. We know that. We understand that. From the first jubilee of Leviticus 25:8, 1977 will be the seventieth jubilee, making exactly 3,430 years. Jubilee means the going up, the release." 2024 – 1977 = 47 (61-0806, The Seventieth Week of Daniel, par. 196-198; 64-0719, The Feast of the Trumpets, par 106; 135).
Matthew 18:21-35, "Peter came to Jesus, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus said to him, I say not unto you, until seven times (one Jubilee of 49 years): but, unto seventy times seven (70 X 49 = 3,430 years—our Pentecostal Jubilee). For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a certain king, who wished to settle accounts with his slaves . . ."
Isaiah 42:6-9; 49:6-9; 61:2a, and Luke 4:16-19 all prophesy of the sabbatical or "acceptable year of the Lord" when Jesus Christ announced His public ministry in Autumn AD27 – Autumn AD28 (truthinscripture.net).
Following Pentecost comes the long spell of four months to Tishri, the seventh month. Christ's end-time Bride is under the Seventh Seal and the hidden mystery of Revelation 10:1 to 7, the last Message to the last Age. And as Abraham and Sarah had to change in the atoms before they could receive their promised son we will be changed before we meet our Promised Son at the Wedding Supper in the air (Genesis 17:19-21; 21:1-3; Luke 17:30).
In 1964 Brother Branham returned to Sunset Mountain. "One day we went to the same place (where the Prophet had been caught up) and he told Brother Wood, throw up a rock, it come down, He said, "Within a day and night you're going to see the glory of God." And the next day, a whirlwind came down out of the skies. When it went up, they asked what it was. I said, "It spoke three words, in three great blasts." The men only heard the blasting. I understood what It said. And said, "Judgment striking West Coast!" Two days after that, Alaska like to have sunk. It's been thundering around, earthquakes, everything. Just look at them, every day, earthquakes just shaking everywhere".(The magnitude 9.2 earthquake that struck Alaska on March 27, 1964 was the second-largest earthquake recorded in modern times (after a 9.5 earthquake in Chile in 1960), and the largest in the written history of North America. It released 100 times as much energy as the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and was followed by tsunamis. During the earthquake, more than 100,000 square miles of Alaska broke, twisted, tilted, dropped and rose.
The earthquake submerged the floor of Seward harbour by 315 feet. Water sloshed in lakes and harbours as distant as Louisiana, and water levels jumped in wells as far away as South Africa. Seismic waves travelled through the planet for weeks and Earth rang like a bell, wrote associate director Doug Christensen of the Geophysical Institute University of Alaska)."This confirmed a prophecy in the 1930's which said, "The ocean shall weep its way into the desert." And, of course, the Salton Sea is about two hundred feet below sea level, and if that big churning, that earth swallowing in like that, with hundreds of square miles, hundreds and hundreds of square miles sinking into the earth, that will throw a tidal wave plumb to Arizona. Sure, it would" (65-0711, Ashamed, par. 46-60; 65-0725E, What is the Attraction on the Mountain, par. 143-152).
Our Pentecostal Jubilee will be marked by Revelation 16:18, "Voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great." A 1,500 X 300 – 400 mile segment of earth's crust will sink beneath the Pacific taking the whole of Los Angeles and much of California and the West Coast to Arizona into Davey Jones' Locker. nl1278.htm
