An astute subscriber drew my attention to a 1996 Teaching Sermon which is
the basis our Main Article, "Daniel 11 & New World Order."
Unwelcome "interesting times" have been imposed upon us by the
0.001% global elite. The "Time of Jacob's trouble" is imminent and
the hidden masters of our undemocratic party politicians are bankrupting
the nations as instructed. Ever anxious to bring China back under the
thumb of Jewry and the US rogue "which they won't escape from" (54-0103M,
Q&A, par. 235).
Russia is now the leading military power: the US will never win another
war and will soon be invaded. The Gentile dispensation will soon be
fulfilled and our Lord Jesus Christ will turn to the blood descendents of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in Israel, not unscriptural make-believe
names—Jews or Israelis. This will be "the times of Jacob's trouble"
(Jeremiah 30:7). Non-Semitic Khazars, Edomites, Sephardim and
non-Semitic Jews. Mixed bloodlines are excluded from the election. I
expect Uncle Sam will accommodate them in FEMA camps with sleepy Joe
Biden's illegal aliens.
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive

US & China: Peaceful Co-Existence?
November 5, 2025 — The picture that emerged after the Trump-Xi
meeting in Busan, South Korea, on October 29, 2025, symbolizes a
ceasefire in the China-US rivalry. Although Trump used the G2 analogy for
the China-US duo, the Chinese side rejects the idea of dividing the world
into spheres of influence in this way. Brzezinski, who first proposed the
idea of G2 in a 2009 article, did so within a typical imperialist school
of thought.
China views global governance through a UN-based, multipolar lens. The
China-US struggle has not yet been resolved, and its dimensions will grow
much greater in terms of industry, technology, and geopolitical balance.
In this context, the United States, a 250-year-old state, is confronting
a civilization with a 3,000-year-old state tradition. America's
escalation strategy no longer works on China.
Is Peaceful Co-Existence between the US and China Possible?
Unlike with the Soviets, the United States fought China three times
during the Korean War (1950–1953). In 1996, during the Third Taiwan
Crisis, the passage of two US aircraft carrier groups through the Taiwan
Strait triggered China's naval awakening. Yet the competition between
Beijing and Washington is not waged through proxies as the US-Soviet
rivalry once was. Today's US–China rivalry embodies peaceful coexistence
differently: there is no ideological conflict, but geopolitical and
economic competition is extreme. China is not an ideological but a
systemic rival. The Soviet Union sought to export world revolution; China
reshapes world trade and production. Its regime exports not ideology but
order. Hence China's goal is systemic domination over trade routes,
production chains, rare metals, and the AI-driven digital realm. The US
perspective, however, combines economic and geopolitical aims aligned
with its military-industrial complex and global financial oligarchy.
Having won the Cold War without firing a shot, Washington remains
intoxicated by victory, pushing for Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO. But
today's reality is different: a multipolar, network-based competition has
replaced bipolar blocs. China's Belt and Road Initiative, BRICS+, and the
Shanghai Cooperation Organization form "networks of influence" rather
than classical alliances—a new model of spatial organization replacing
ideological walls with strategic networks. Both powers seek stability and
prosperity within their spheres of influence, under a renewed nuclear
balance that again defines conflict's limits. Thus, the modern formula
for peaceful coexistence arises from systemic and economic necessity, not
ideology. The difference between exporting order and exporting ideology
shows that the US and China are destined not for war but for a long-term
cold peace. Yet this peace cannot endure unless the US tempers its
capitalist-neoliberal reflexes. If Washington remains under the command
of financial-capital oligarchy, durable peace will remain elusive.
Geopolitical and Economic Competition
Since 1973, acting largely within the system the US created; China has
surpassed America in production and trade—inevitably triggering
military growth. When military power draws on economic strength, it
transforms geopolitics. The US fully controlled Germany's defense
establishment after 1945 to prevent remilitarization, but it could not do
the same to China. Having brought Beijing closer in 1973 to encircle the
Soviets, it enabled China's economic rise but failed to stop its
geopolitical ascent, underestimating the synthesis of imperial tradition
and Maoist resistance. Today, the most concrete foundation of peace is
economic interdependence. Annual trade between the US and China
exceeds $579 billion: the US imports $505 billion and exports $74
billion—about $1.2 million per minute in motion. China controls 35
percent of global manufacturing roughly triple the US share. Such
interdependence, absent during the Cold War, underpins the current cold
peace: the collapse of one would damage the other. Yet the US, captive
to its 400-year Western-colonial tradition of permanent war and financial
hegemony, resists the shift toward multipolarity. The Russia–Ukraine War
marked the final turn of this process. The US and EU remain determined to
preserve 400 years of Western dominance, even at the cost of global war.
China, meanwhile, avoids direct confrontation but prepares for inevitable
competition as the US faces defeat in trade and technology. It knows
Washington is untrustworthy—disregarding the One China policy, pushing
NATO eastward, and turning a blind eye to Israeli strikes on Iran during
peace talks. Under US pressure, Europe mirrors this hostility: for
example, on October 12, 2025, the Dutch government seized Chinese-owned
semiconductor firm Nexperia. China's dominance in rare-earth production
gives it strategic leverage, while America views it as a security threat.
The combination of Chinese export controls and renewed US tariff threats
has brought relations to the brink of rupture. RAND Report and US-China Relations . .

Imperial Illusion and World Reality
November 3, 2025 — The illusory statements and
blatant lies of US
President Donald Trump become more and more evident with every
meeting and encounter he has. The falsehood, ineptitude and cynicism of
US and European leaders is the most obvious symptom of the cultural,
spiritual and ideological sickness of the collective West's ruling
classes. For six decades until the great recession caused by the
financial crisis of 2008-2009, they were able to offer their populations
a standard of living far superior to that of the populations of the
majority world. Now reality is changing and they have no idea what to do.
As President Vladimir Putin has explained, ". . . the era in which
a select group of the strongest powers could decide for the rest of the
world is gone, and gone forever."
Now the various technological, commercial and financial advances of
countries in Eurasia and their associated sequels in Africa and Latin
America have woven a new global reality with multiple different
political-military and socio-economic threads. The impact of this reality
has been evident in the successive failures of Donald Trump in his most
recent interactions with the governments of Russia and China . . . The
contrast of the aggressive US extortionist stance with president Xi's
vision of cooperation focused on the human person and poverty reduction
is strong. There is a direct relationship between the dysfunctional US
coercive relationship with Japan and South Korea and the ongoing
negotiations of these two countries with China to improve their trade and
develop a trilateral currency swap agreement. This mechanism derives from
the so-called Chiang Mai Initiative established after the Asian financial
crisis of 1998, caused by the predatory behavior of Western financial
institutions and made worse by the intervention of the International
Monetary Fund.
. . . To further worsen the trend of failure in its foreign policy
towards Russia and China, president Trump's criminal administration has
begun a fascist aggression against Venezuela. At the domestic political
level and at the hemispheric level, an eventual outcome with very adverse
consequences for the US government is guaranteed . . . The consensus of
experts on the matter is that the combination of Venezuelan radar systems
with advanced Chinese communication systems offers a powerful challenge
to the control of the electromagnetic spectrum by US forces. Venezuela
has collaborated with the Chinese electronic technology company CETC
since 2005. The modern JY-27A 3D radar system of this company is now
deployed in the country, along with modern Russian systems such as the
VHF-band 9S19ME radar and the S-band 64N6, in addition to the excellent,
though older, P-18 radar system . . . It is impossible to know for sure
what the final outcome of the criminal fascist aggression underway
against Venezuela will be. Everything indicates that it will be adverse
in many ways for the US government. The general international consensus
is that the foreign policy of President Donald Trump's administration
simply goes from one failed hoax to another . . . Full story:

Young Ukrainians flee Suicidal Military Tactics, Kiev Regime targets Hungary & Romania
November 3, 2025 — In the grim theater of the NATO-orchestrated
Ukrainian conflict, the latest events have once again laid bare the rot
at the heart of the Neo-Nazi junta. What began as a US-engineered attempt
to bleed Moscow dry has devolved into a farce of self-inflicted wounds,
mass desertions and brazen acts of sabotage and terrorism that even the
staunchest Atlanticist mouthpieces can no longer whitewash. Three stark
vignettes from the frontlines and beyond—a "suspicious" refinery blaze
in Hungary, the hemorrhage of Ukrainian youth across borders and Vladimir
Putin's unflinching invitation to the world to witness the Kiev regime's
encircled doom—paint a portrait of a collapsing proxy state lashing out
in panic. This is not the triumph of "democracy" peddled by Washington
DC, but a death rattle of an empire's gamble gone awry, where the
multipolar world asserts itself against the unipolar delusions of the
collective West . . . Full story: infobrics.org
Comment: A landmark visit to North Korea
has revived Indonesia-Pyongyang ties and raised questions about Jakarta's
long-term strategy. As Indonesia modernizes its defense and hedges

could shift Indo-Pacific dynamics. infobrics.org
It is evident that Washington is in the midst of a new Cold War with
Russia and China. It is recalled that nuclear testing was an inseparable
part of the Cold War, and, seemingly, the world is returning to that era.
Trump previously claimed that the US intends to win wars "like no one
has ever won before." In effect, the US is instigating a new arms
race, with military spending reaching a historic high. The US military
budget is $1 trillion, more than all other countries spend combined.
The new Cold War did not start after Russia's Special Military Operation
in February 2022, nor after Russia's reunification with Crimea in 2014,
but back in the early 2000s, when the US invaded Afghanistan and Iraq,
and began to create its bases in its attempt to maintain its dominance
and the unipolar world order infobrics.org.
Ukraine's Neo-Nazi Coalition Government: Forced Relocations, Grave Violations of International Humanitarian Law
November 2, 2025 — With complete impunity, the neo-Nazi regime in
Kiev is openly engaging in odious practices against civilian
non-combatants that constitute a grave violation of international law and
a crime against humanity. As Russian troops advance and take control of
an increasing number of towns and settlements, one of the ways in which
the Kiev authorities are coping with that embarrassing situation before
the arrival of Russian troops is to conduct mass deportations of the
local Ukrainian population to zones in the rear that they still control.
Forced relocation is legally defined as the coercive movement of
individuals or groups from their established homes or territories, due to
government policies or conflicts.
Forced Relocations, in Ukraine, displacement fitting this definition is
being carried out under military orders. There is no explanation for that
based on military necessity or because of a reasonable concern for the
safety of civilians. Nor is there evidence of prior consent by the
deportees. The reasons for the deportations are entirely propagandistic
and political. The purpose of the deportations is to foster the
propaganda illusion that the local residents, who are Russian, do not
wish to live under Russian rule. Collective West political circles
have ignored this practice and have not publicly condemned such conduct
on the part of the Kiev regime. Their media . . . avoiding any discussion
of the legal and humanitarian implications of such actions . . . Full

Russia becomes the World's Leading Military Power
October 31, 2025 — Russia's 9M730 Burevestnik cruise missile,
announced in March 1, 2018 is finally operational. A nuclear power plant
miniaturized to the point where it can be equipped with a nuclear-powered
cruise missile. Since cruise missiles have an unpredictable trajectory
and this engine has an almost infinite range, they are invincible for the
moment. This paves the way for the Status-6 Poseidon underwater drones.
It reverses the balance of power since, from now on, Russia has a lead
over its competitors. It is no longer militarily on an equal footing with
the United States, but is ahead of them. During the war in Syria,
Russia's new conventional weapons proved superior to those of NATO.
During the war in Ukraine, Russia was able to mass-produce them. At the
time of writing, it has become the world's leading conventional and
nuclear power.
Russian President Vladimir Putin made this progress public on 26 October,
between the controversy over the potential use of Tomahawks by Ukraine to
strike the Kremlin and the Trump-Xi summit during which the United States
was to try to break the Russian-Chinese alliance. The United States
responded to the test by announcing new nuclear tests and withdrawing its
troops from Europe's Eastern Front. Full story: voltairenet.org
Daniel 11 & New World Order
Our text
tonight is Psalm 1:1-3. 'Blessed is the man that walketh not in
the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor
sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the Law of the
LORD; and in His Law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like
a Tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth His fruit in
his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper'. The epicenter of
"Apotheosis of Washington" is a solar orb, the Sun-God into which
Augustus Caesar was said to have been absorbed when his body died. From
the Capitol's highest interior point Augustus radiates his golden light
outward and downward to the next in the "line of Julius," the
deified George Washington. The god Washington occupies the judgment seat
of heaven, sword of Justice firmly clasped in his left hand. Basking in
the light of Augustus—Pontifex Maximus—he rules "over far territories
north and south of the zodiacal stars, the solar way."
When David got into the Spirit, he saw this Tree. It was the first thing
he wrote about. There were two symbolical trees in the Garden of Eden,
the Tree of Life and the Tree of carnal Knowledge of good and evil—the
Tree of intellectual reasoning. Man was to find his way to eternal Life
through fellowship with the Tree of Life. But the woman followed the
counsel of the ungodly Tree of Knowledge rather than delighting in the
Word of God, and EVERY Word (62-0422, The Restoration of the Bride Tree,
par. 151).
In Eden there was one river or water which divided into four heads. In
Psalm 1 the same water of Life or Holy Spirit is divided into several
streams. The Tree of Life is living on this eternal resource, bringing
forth God's fruit in its season—the Word for the age.
Trees shed their leaves in winter when the sap or life goes down into the
roots. But when spring heralds the coming summer, the life returns to the
branches and puts forth new leaves as an evidence of this renewal of
life. Jesus said of the fig tree: 'When his branch is yet tender, and
puts forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh'. It's a promise of
resurrection. Like a tree planted by a permanent source of fresh water,
the life or 'leaf' of a righteous man cannot wither because he is
drawing his Life from the Holy Spirit. He is predestinated and cannot
die.
This Tree David saw is the Lord Jesus Christ. Its fruit is His seed
predestinated as His elect. This Tree was cut down at Calvary, but on the
day of Pentecost It began to reproduce Itself in a Bride Tree. Joel 2:25
types the rider of the four horses of Revelation 6 to the four stages in
the cycle of one insect that attacks the Tree. The locust, the
cankerworm, the caterpillar and the palmerworm, signify Satan building
and incarnating his false church. Joel foretold how they would devour
Christ's Bride Tree to the stump and how God would restore It (Joel 2:25;
Malachi 4:5, 6b and Matthew 17:11). It cannot die, for the Life is in the
roots.
All trees born of the woman—by sex—die. The Bride Tree is born of the
Man—not through sexual desire, but faith in the "present Truth"
(John 1:1-5, 14; II Peter 1:12). The two trees are Christ the Word, and
Satan's anti-Word that hybridizes God's unchanging Word like the
Apostle's Creed so-called, accepted 400 years after their death as the
Judeo-Roman Catholic church organized 300 years after Calvary. The Word
of God brings Life by the Man; unbelief brought death by the woman.
This Tree David saw was carefully planted like Israel, the cultivated
olive tree of Romans 11. It wasn't self-sown like the Gentile wild olive
tree, It was predestinated.
Reviewing these notes, it occurred how our declining civilization
established on godly and moral principles in the heart of citizens
cultivated by the Gospel, did not require police enforcement of laws. Our
nation was cultivated, deliberately planted like that Tree David saw.
Nowadays, a high percentage of the population is born by happenstance.
Fornication, adultery, polygamy and miscegenation with heathens "as it
was in the days of Noah": rotten fruit from the Tree of Knowledge.
Many of todays professing Christians and especially ministers are devoid
of faith but full of knowledge and skill to appease their starved
congregation. Like Balaam they say, 'We're all God's children,'
but God set enmity between those not of Adam's race. And knowledge of the
mixed tree brings: physical and spiritual death.
In Deuteronomy 27 Moses divided the twelve tribes, standing half before
Mount Ebal which represented the curse of disobedience, and half before
Mount Gerizim which represented the blessing of obedience to God's Word.
The punishment for idolatry caused the guilty tribe, not the individual,
to be blotted from the Covenant—ON EARTH—not from the Book of Life
IN HEAVEN. Deuteronomy 29:20, 'The LORD will not spare him, but the
anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all
the curses that are written in this Book shall lie upon him, and the LORD
shall blot out his name from UNDER HEAVEN'.
This followed I Kings 12:25-30, 'Then Jeroboam built
Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence,
and built Penuel. And Jeroboam said in his heart, 'Now shall the kingdom
return to the house of David: if this people go up to do sacrifice in the
house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn
again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall
kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah. Whereupon the king took
counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, 'It is too much
for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold your gods, O Israel, which brought
thee up out of the land of Egypt.' And he set the one in Bethel, and the
other put he in Dan. And this thing became a sin: for the people went to
worship before the one, even unto Dan'.
Hosea 4:17, 'Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.'
Isaac's firstborn Ephraim led the Northern Kingdom and adopted Babylon's
trinity of Gods: God dissolved Israel. The Roman Catholic church and her
denominational harlot daughters have followed suit. NATO will forsake
Rome, ally Russia, and 'nuke' Vatican City State (Revelation 17:5; 17:12
– 18:24; Romans 2:11).
From that time, Dan and Ephraim were missing from the tribes. Jewry will
resettle the Land and 144,000 elect Israelites will return. But Dan and
Ephraim will be missing. Revelation 7:4-8, 'And I heard the number of
them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and
four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Of the tribe
of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Of the
tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the
tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Zebulon were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the
tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand'.
Dan and Ephraim are not named among the 144,000 elect Israelites.
Let's turn to Daniel 10, remembering that all Scripture has a compound
meaning. Passover and Unleavened Bread was the memorial of Israel's
deliverance from Egypt in prepared haste such that they did not have time
to leaven their bread. (This time the sleeping saints will resurrect
Church Age by Church Age, while the fiftieth day will be our jubilee,
release or Pentecostal deliverance and rest, the perfect consummation of
time when we all meet Christ in the Air (I Corinthians 15:49-58). Daniel
had been praying and fasting for twenty-one days. On the twenty-fourth
day, God answered His prayer with a vision of Michael the great
Archangel, our Lord Jesus Christ, witness to the Divine ordering of all.
The twenty-four courses of priests in the earthly Temple; formed on
the "pattern of things in the heavens." In Revelation 4, we read
of the twenty-four heavenly elders, who are twelve Patriarchs from the
Old Testament and twelve Apostles from the New. His loins were girt to
the waist with a golden girdle, and He was interceding as High Priest
THROUGH His New Testament saints in the days of man. Who else had Light
of the hour?
"And at that time Michael shall stand, the great prince."
Michael was Christ, of course, Who fought the angelic wars in heaven with
the devil. Satan and Michael fought against each other. "And at
that time, as many as were found written in the Book was delivered, those
who had been righteous . . . "And they that are wise shall shine as the
brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as
the stars forever" (55-0109E, Beginning and Ending of the Gentile
Dispensation, par. 112; Exodus 3:2, 4; Judges 6:12, 14; Daniel 8:11;
10:13, 21; 12:1; I Thessalonians 4:16; Jude 9; Revelation 12:7).
"The kingdoms of this world will then become the kingdoms of our God.
The Day of the Lord is when the judgments fall, after that comes
the millennium" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 48.1).
"The Lord's Day is when the days of
man are over." Now notice. Listen to this. Now is the great thing.
Now is where we want to watch. Remember, in the last days, will exactly
go back and vindicate the first day; see, Adam and Eve, husband and wife,
no sin, Life; then the fall. Notice, notice closely.
Notice what caused it. Lucifer! Lucifer is doing now as he did at the
first time.
Just as the kingdom of the Gentiles was brought in with King
Nebuchadnezzar, vindicated the Gentile race by a prophet who could
interpret unknown tongues, visions, dreams. And it's come down through
the Gentiles, without anything, just Medo-Persians, and iron and so
forth, and in the feet it goes out the same way again, the Gentile
kingdom.
Notice Lucifer, in the last days, is doing as he did at first. What did
Lucifer do? The first thing that Lucifer did was to separate the
fellowship of God and man, he wanted to build him a united kingdom, a
greater splendor and seemingly more cultured, a greater kingdom than
Michael, Christ had.
Lucifer, at the beginning, his purpose in heart was to achieve a
brighter and greater thing in Heaven than Christ had, is that right, by
seemingly more cultured, more beautiful, more splendor, than the Kingdom
of Christ. Do you think we'll have automobiles in the Millennium, and
airplanes? See? See what Lucifer is doing?
Now, the big fancy intellectual denominations are gathering themselves
together to do the same thing. See? They are gathering and denominating
themselves, each one trying to beat the other one. And now they got so
much splendor, they don't know what to do but to unite it with the
Catholic church. See?
Lucifer again building a bigger kingdom, to push out people that don't
believe in denominations; and even take their church buildings and make
storerooms, and the pastors of such has no rights at all (63-0728, Christ
is the Mystery of God Revealed, par. 540-546).
From Daniel 9 – 12 the angel Gabriel explains the sixfold purpose of
his visit to Daniel from the conquest of the first Gentile World Empire
of Babylon through the Medo-Persian, Greek, and the Roman World Empire of
today. I don't believe there will ever be another "Kingdom of
Israel," Brother Branham said, "Every kingdom on earth will be shook
down by atomic power" to World War III and the consummation of Life. The
Bible says, "We receive a Kingdom that cannot be moved" (Acts
1:6).
Now listen to me carefully, the vision is a symbol of Christ incarnating Himself into His Church. It is not set
in the time of Daniel, who lived under the first and into the second
Gentile empire of the visions—Babylon and Medo-Persia. In Daniel 11:1
Gabriel explains that the vision of the One clothed in linen, is set in
the—'latter days'—after the Persian and Greek empires, under the
Roman empire (Ezekiel 9; Daniel 11:31-45; 12:5-9; Revelation 7:1-3).
Daniel 8:20-26, 'The ram which you saw having two horns is the kings
of Media and Persia. And the rough goat is the king of Greece: and the
great horn that is between his eyes is the first king, Alexander. Now
that being broken, four stood up from it, four kingdoms shall stand up
out of the nation, (Greece, Turkey, Syria and Egypt) but not in
his power. And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the
transgressors (these four divisions of Alexander's empire) come to
the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences,
shall stand up.' (This speaks of Antiochus IV Epiphanies of Syria who
was a type of the beast, and in the compound, of the Roman beast
himself).
The vision concerns Rome and the future beast. His
power will be mighty but his strength will be Satanic: and he will
destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy
the mighty and the holy people. And through his POLICY also he shall
cause CRAFT to prosper in his hand (or by his cunning). Brother
Branham said, craft is 'manufacturing.' And he shall magnify
himself in his heart, and with the suddenness of a malignant surprise he
shall destroy many: he will also stand up against the PRINCE of princes;
but he will be broken WITHOUT hand. And the vision of the evening and the
morning which was told is truth and deserves to be credited inasmuch as
2,300 evenings and mornings must elapse before the end of the period of
affliction; wherefore conceal the vision for it will be for MANY days.'
("But in the days of the Voice of the seventh angel the mystery of God
should be finished" Revelation 10:7).
In the revelation of the First Seal Brother Branham said, "After the
church is taken away, Rome and the Jews will make a covenant with one
another. The Bible said they would, with the holy people (Daniel 9:27).
And now notice, they'll make it, because why? This nation is going to
be busted, and the rest of the world that's on the gold standard is
busted. You know that. If we're living off of taxes, due bills for
forty years from now, where are we at? There's only one thing can happen.
That's to call in the currency and pay off the bonds; and we can't do it.
Wall Street Wall Street owns them and Wall
Street's controlled by the Jews; the rest of it's in the Vatican, and the
Jews have got the rest of it in Wall Street with the commerce of the
world."
"We can't call it in. And if we could do it, do you think these whiskey
guys and all these tobacco people with billions times billions of dollars
a year and write off all their income tax for old vulgar pictures and
things like that—go out in Arizona there and buy millions of acres of
land—or thousands—and dig them big wells at fifty thousand dollars and
pay it off with income tax? And they'd put you in jail if you don't pay
yours. But they write it off and throw up wells and send bulldozers in.
And what do they do? They put housing projects in there, and the next
turn around with their money they made (they have got to make an
investment) and put houses, projects in there and sell them for millions
of dollars. Do you think them guys is going to compromise to change the
currency?
Like this fellow down here in—in (What's his name?) Castro did. He done
the only smart thing he ever did do then, when he destroyed the bonds:
paid them off and destroyed them. Notice, but we can't do that. These
guys won't let us.
The rich merchants of the earth hold it, and then there's only one thing
to do: The Catholic church can pay it off. She's the only one that's
got the money; she can do it, and she will do it.
And in doing this to get it, she'll compromise with the Jews and make a
covenant, and when she makes this covenant with the Jews . . . Now,
remember, I'm taking this from the Scriptures. And now, when she does
this and makes this covenant, we notice in Daniel 8:23 and 25 he will
cause craft to prosper (and craft is manufacturing), in his hand.
And he makes this covenant with the Jews (Daniel 9:27), "and in the
midst of this three and a half years, he breaks his covenant" as soon
as he gets the thing wrapped up and gets the money of the Jews tied up.
And when he does that, oh, my, oh, my, he's called the antichrist until
the end of the Church Age, for he and his children are against Christ and
the Word. This man's called the antichrist. Now, he's going to hold the
money. And that's where I think he'll come in. Just a minute, while I say
this, then I want to go back to it in a minute. He's called the
antichrist and will be called the antichrist in the sight of God until
the end time. Now, but then he'll be called something else.
Now, when he gets the money all under control, then he will break this
covenant with the Jews, as Daniel here said he would do it, in the midst
of the last half of the seventy weeks of Daniel. And then, brother, what
will he do? He will have all of the world trade and the commerce, a pact
with the world, 'cause he will hold the wealth of the world completely.
And during that time, the two prophets will rise on the scene and call
that hundred and forty-four thousand. Then what will take place? Then the
mark of the beast of Revelations 13 will set in, 'cause he holds all the
commerce, trade and everything of the world. And what will take place
then? The mark of the beast will come in that no man can buy or sell
except him that has the mark of the beast. (Revelation 13, the mark in
the hand indicates subservience to Rome, the mark in the forehead
indicates receiving Roman Catholic dogma, while noncompliance means
DEATH). Thank God, the Church will be enjoying a great three and a half
years at the Wedding Supper in glory. Don't have to go through that.
Now, notice, at the end the Church Ages, he and his children are called
the antichrist, 'cause anything that's against Christ is antichrist. And
anything that's against the Word is against Christ, 'cause Christ is the
Word. Now, he's antichrist.
Then in Revelation 12:7-9, when Satan is cast out, the accuser . . . I
want to read it. But in Revelations 12:7-9, Satan the spirit, the devil,
which is up there now, accuser of our brethren, all right; the Church is
taken up, and Satan is cast out. When the Church goes up, Satan comes
down. Then Satan incarnates himself in the antichrist and is called the
beast.
Then in Revelation 13, he sets the mark down. See, when He that letteth
only now Christianity is left on the earth in its purity is because Him
that letteth. You remember back here in II Thessalonians 2:3-12? Setting
upon the temple of God, calling himself God; forgiving sins on earth, and
that'll go on, and iniquity shall abound and on, 'cause it won't be known
yet until his time to be revealed is called. And then the Church will be
caught away. And when it's caught away, then he changes himself from an
antichrist now. Oh, my, the church, the great church and . . . Now, he
becomes the beast. I wish I could make people see that.
Now, remember the antichrist and the beast is the
same self spirit. There's the trinity. Yes, sir. Its three stages of the
same devil power. Remember, Nicolaitanism (Revelation 2:6, 15), it had to
be incarnate before it could be crowned. See? Now, watch this. Three
stages: first stage he's called antichrist; second stage, he's called the
false prophet; third stage, he's called the beast.
Nicolaitanism, the antichrist teaching that started in the days of
Paul against God's Word: antichrist . . . Then he's called again the
false prophet, when the teaching become a man, he was a prophet to the
teaching of the hierarchy of the Catholic church. The Pope was the
prophet to the false word, and that made him a false prophet (Revelation
16:13; 19:20; 20:10). The third stage is a beast, a man that's
crowned in the last days with every power that pagan Rome ever had,
because the seven-headed beast, dragon, was cast out of heaven and come
incarnate in the false prophet. Here it is; he had seven crowns, and
he was cast out and throwed into the earth and the sea. All right. What
are we saying? Who is this rider, this horse rider? You know what it is?
It's Satan's superman (Revelation 11:7; 13:2-4; 14:9, 11, 15-18; 20:4,
1); 63-0318, The First Seal, par. 349-368).
Brother Branham was certainly inspired when in 1963 he said
"craft is manufacturing" because President Trump is working to fulfill
the prophecy by devaluing the US dollar and revaluing gold and silver
because he can pay off debt of US$38 trillion face value dollars devalued
by 40-50% while revaluing gold reserves in the Treasury from
US$40.22/ounce to UD$4,000+/ounce. Manufacturing in the United States
would boom. Our many billionaire subscribers should acquaint themselves
with "The
Mar-a-Lago Accord." Don't buy gold until you watch this video.
These 'latter days' are the end of the fourth Gentile empire under
Papal Rome, when the IMAGE of Christ incarnates His Church for the
manifestation of the Sons of God, and the IMAGE of Nebuchadnezzar's dream
is incarnate of Satan after his final heavenly encounter with Michael
(Daniel 2:28; 10:6, 14; Revelation 12:7-9).
Can you see it? The angel told Daniel, 'I am come to make you
understand what shall befall THY PEOPLE (Israel) in the LATTER
(or end of) DAYS . . .' This is, AFTER the END of the Gentile
dispensation and AFTER our TRANSLATION, when God restores the elect
144,000 to fellowship and establishes Israel our servant nation, and
takes the glorified Old and New Testament saints to the Millennium for a
thousand years of peace.
The angel (Gabriel) told Daniel he had come to make him understand what
would befall Israel at the end of days (verse 14). In Chapters 11 and 12
he foretells the history of the remaining three Gentile world empires,
and what will happen in the day of the Lord which follows. The speaker is
not the vision; he is the angel expounding the vision, whose monologue
extends from Daniel 10:20 – 12:13.
In Revelation 1:12-16 John saw a vision of Jesus transformed into His
elect Church drawn from all seven Ages, stand as JUDGE in the DAY OF THE
LORD, 'clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the
paps with a golden girdle'. 'The saints shall judge the earth'. In
Ezekiel 40:3 and Revelation 11:1, Christ's Bride is symbolized holding a
flaxen line for judging long dimensions, and a measuring reed for short
dimensions.
In both visions, the Voice of the Lord was the testimony of His saints.
"The voice of many waters; a great multitude which no man could number of
all nations and kindreds and people and tongues" is the 'rod of iron'
or measuring reed of the Absolute of God's Word.
Daniel alone saw the vision. Those with Him saw nothing, but
sensing the Presence of the Lord, fled and hid themselves for fear. And
Daniel, like John, 'fell at His feet as dead'. Daniel says to the
angel, 'O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me (as
the pains of a woman in travail), and I have retained no strength'
(verse 16). This is the language of extreme desperation; the language God
applies to the great and dreadful day of the Lord (AFTER the Gentile
dispensation), and Israel's Day of Atonement.
I Thessalonians 5:2-3, 'For yourselves know perfectly that the DAY OF
THE LORD so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say,
PEACE and SAFETY; then sudden DESTRUCTION comes upon them, as TRAVAIL
UPON A WOMAN WITH CHILD; and they shall NOT escape'.
Isaiah 13:6-10, 'Howl ye; for the DAY OF THE LORD is at hand; it shall
come as DESTRUCTION from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be
faint, and every man's heart shall melt: and they shall be afraid: pangs
and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in PAIN AS A WOMAN
THAT TRAVAILETH: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall
be as flames. Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel both with wrath
and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and He shall destroy the
sinners out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations shall
not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and
the Moon shall not cause her light to shine' (Revelation 16:17-21).
In other words, the Gentile denominations end in
apostasy. The stars are ministers who should be 'angels of Light.'
The sun represents Christ, the source of all Light, and the moon
types the church which shines the Light in the absence of the Son.
The times of the Gentiles, God's future dealings with Israel, and the
Messianic Kingdom have already been revealed to Daniel in symbols. Now
the angel asks, 'Do you know why I have come to you? I am come to
reveal to you what has been prophesied in the Scripture. (For
instance, Daniel 8 and 9). Then when I depart I must fight the prince
of Persia, and after him, the prince of Greece. Only Michael your Prince
will be there to help me' (Daniel 10:20-21).
As we said, all Scripture has a compound meaning, and Daniel 11 applies
to Antiochus IV Epiphanies, and to the Maccabees, a family of heroic
Jews, who for a time successfully defeated Israel's oppressors. Gabriel
says, 'It was I who was sent to strengthen and help Darius the Mede in
the first year of his reign.' And three more kings shall stand up in
Persia—Cambyses, Smerdis, and Darius, and a fourth, Xerxes, who will be
richer than them all and will unsuccessfully attempt to invade Greece.
About three hundred years later, Alexander the Great will lead Greece to
succeed the Persians in world domination and 'do according to his will.'
But at the height of his power he will die and his kingdom will be
divided according to the four points of the compass between his generals
into Greece, Turkey, Syria and Egypt. He proceeds to foretell attempts by
the kingdom of the South (Egypt) to come into league with the kingdom of
the north (Syria) through marriage (as America and Russia have tried to
find an accommodation). And how the king of Syria put away his wife
Laodice to marry Bernice, daughter of the king of Egypt. Of the murders
that follow, and the wars between their successors, until Antioch IV
Epiphanes of the northern kingdom gains supremacy. However our concern is
with ANOTHER king, the antichrist, who becomes incarnate as the beast, of
whom Antiochus IV Epiphanes was but a type.
Reading from Daniel 11:35-36, 'And some of them of understanding shall
fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, (the Fifth
Seal Israelites) even to the time of the END: because it is yet for a
time appointed. And the king shall do according to his will.' (See
verse 21).
(He claims to be ruler over heaven, earth and
purgatory. In the sense in which we are considering this prophecy, this
'king' is the Pope of Rome, ruling over his CHURCH kingdoms. In the
Revelation of the Seven Seals (63-0318, par. 307-387; 63-0324M, Q&A, par.
289-300), Brother Branham describes how Satan established his FALSE
church, takes control of the apostate Protestant churches, and because
the world is bankrupt, makes an agreement with the self-styled Jews, thus
fulfilling the prophecies of Isaiah 28:14-29 and Daniel 9:27. "And
after the church is taken away, Rome and the Jews will make a covenant
with one another. The Bible said they would . . . This nation is going
to be busted, and the rest of the world that's on the gold standard is
busted . . . (There has not been a gold standard since about
1948. Brother Branham was inspired in 1963; 60 years in advance, to know
the gold standard will be reintroduced, probably in 2026 under Trump's
MAGA -Ed.). We are living off of taxes, due bills for forty years from
now . . . There is only one thing can happen. That is to call in the
currency and pay off the bonds, and we can't do it. Wall Street owns
them, and Wall Street is controlled by the Jews; the rest of it is in the
Vatican, and the Jews have got the rest of it in Wall Street with the
commerce of the world."
This king is the ruler of the whore which controls the scarlet colored
beast with seven heads and ten horns, the last Gentile world empire of
Revelation 17. 'And the king shall exalt himself, and magnify himself
above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of
gods' (Daniel 7:8, 25; 2:47). Paul foresaw this in II Thessalonians
2:3-4, 'Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not
come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above
all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in
the temple of God, showing himself that he is God'. Also Revelation
13:3-10, 15 '. . . and all the world REVERENCED the beast. And they
worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying, who is like unto the beast? Who is able to
make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great
things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty
and two months (the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week). And
he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His Name, and
his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him
to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given
him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon
the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of
life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man has
an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into
captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword.
Here is the patience and the faith of the saints . . . as many as
would not worship the image of the beast should be killed').
Daniel 11:36, 'And shall prosper (in his wicked undertakings)
till the indignation is accomplished (and the sixfold purpose of
Gabriel's visit to Daniel is fulfilled, Daniel 9:24): for all that is
determined shall be done.' (Revelation 6:11, 'until their fellow
servants also (Israel's two prophets, Moses and Elijah) of Revelation
11) and their brethren (the 144,000 elect Israelites) that
should be killed as they (the Fifth Seal Israelites) were, should
be fulfilled'). This comes to pass after the midst of Daniel's
Seventieth Week.
Daniel 11:37-38 'Neither shall he regard the gods of his church
FATHERS, nor the desire of women, nor regard ANY god: for he shall
magnify HIMSELF above ALL. But in his estate shall he honour the God of
forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold,
and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things'.
The 'god of fortresses' was the Capitoline Jupiter. The Capitol
was the seat of the Roman Empire. There at the temple, the generals
sacrificed and paid their vows, and when they returned victorious, were
taken thither in triumph. This clearly shows Rome's power is Satan, the
god of forces and dominion, whom the beast will honor instead of the gods
of his fathers, setting aside the pleadings of humanity as if they were
the weaknesses of women, and depending solely upon force. Revelation
13:17, 'And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,
or the name of the beast, or the number of his name' shows she
will gain absolute control of the commerce of the earth, for no man can
buy or sell apart from her. Revelation 18:9-17 proves this. Rome's
association with kings, (a US president in his third term), princes and
merchants connected with commercial power, and in Revelation 13:14 the
beast spreads his influence through her Protestant image.
The United States of America is the image unto the Roman beast in the
natural as the Protestants are her image in the spiritual. The
District of Columbia was named "Rome" in 1663 property records; and the
branch of the Potomac River that bordered "Rome" on the south, was called
the "Tiber" (Catholic Encyclopedia, 1902; Article "Daniel Carrol"). The
statue on Washington's Capitol Dome is the Goddess Persephone, or
Minerva, the Mediatrix, who like Mary, is said to have been immaculately
conceived (Ibid. p. 185:1 – 188:1; 243:9-245:1; 63-0324E, Seventh Seal,
par: 65). Abducted by Hades, son of Saturn, she ruled the dead and all
else within the earth, namely the minerals and precious stones.
Constantino Brumidi, the artist whose commission to paint the frescoes on
the interior of the Dome was cunningly arranged by Jesuit Superior
General John Roothaan and Roman Catholic Archbishop John Hughes of New
York, was an associate of Jesuit Guiseppe Mazzini, leader of the
Illuminati's World revolutionary Movement.
Brumidi crowned the ceiling of America's legislative center with a
glorious, panoramic visualization of Book VI of Vigil's Aenid,
where Aeneas' blind father, Anchises, explains NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM:
"Here is Caesar, and all the line of Julius, all who shall one day
pass under the dome of the great sky. This is the man, this one, of whom
so often you have heard the promise, Caesar Augustus, son of the deified,
who shall bring once again an Age of Gold to Latium, the land where
Saturn reigned in early times. He will extend his power beyond the
Garamants [Africans] and Indians, over far territories north and south of
the zodiacal stars, the solar way . . ."
On the right hand of the Father sits Minerva, holding the emblem of Roman
totalitarianism, the fasces. Minerva, we recall, was the virgin goddess
of the Sacred Heart—it was she who rescued the heart of the Son of God,
and placed it with Jupiter in heaven. She was called "Minerva" when
Minerva was known as Venus, the Queen of Heaven. She and Venus were often
identified with each other, just as statues of both were reconsecrated
and "Mary" through Roman Catholic missionary adaptation. Minerva's most
persistent role in ancient paganism was Dea Benigna, "The Mediatrix." She
heard the prayers of sinful mortals and passed them on to Jupiter, in the
same way the Roman Mary is believed to pass Catholic prayers on to
Christ.
Completing the circular composition around the solarized Augustus are
thirteen nubile goddesses. These are the original States. They dance
weightlessly in space, supporting a white banner inscribed with the soul
of the Bacchic Gospel, "E PLURIBUS UNUM." Above the head of each State-
goddess floats a magical white pentagram. (Tupper Saussy, Rulers of Evil,
Ospray Bookmakers, p. 256).
(The hidden hand of Rome's enemy is apparent throughout this symbolism.
As Vatican bankers and confidants, the Rothschild's are familiar with
Papal plans for world hegemony and incorporated them into their own
military blueprint prepared by Albert Pike whereby once she
has established her New World Order, a final world revolution will topple
Rome and destroy all religions. Then they (the global elite) will reign
supreme, establishing the pure Luciferian worship).
Daniel 11:39, 'Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a
strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he
shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain'.
Claiming he is God's representative performing His immutable will on
earth, the Pope will glorify his trinity, Mariolatry and worship of the
dead, (in reality, Satan, the god of forces), and magnify himself,
forcing the mark of the beast; ruthlessly slaughtering dissenters while
bestowing honour upon those who acknowledge him (Revelation 13:4-15). The
most powerful member states of the UN will impose
his edicts, and he shall give them dominion through the UN.
Historically, this 'king of the north' was Syria. But in the
Spiritual, it is mystery Babylon the great or Rome, the mother of harlots
and abominations of the earth. But Satan made himself a great kingdom in
the north and that's Communist Russia, the kingdom of the Edomite Jews
under the Red Flag of the House of Rothschild with the Yellow Star or
pentagram of Solomon, and the hammer and sickle to forge and cut the
world into submission. According to Daniel 11:45 and Revelation 17:16 –
18:20, Rome's European allies will eventually turn on her and become
communist. Hence, the 'king of the north' will ultimately be Russia. Ezekiel 38 and 39 is
precisely the biblebelievers.au story we are reading here in Daniel 11.
Daniel 11:40, 'And at the time of the END (that is, after Los Angeles
sinks, marking the close of the Gentile dispensation), shall the king of
the south push at him:
(Historically the 'king of the south' was Egypt. Here he is Ishmael's
people. And Islam is the instigator of this conflict. His attack will be
precipitated by an earthquake in Judea coincidental with the earthquake
in California, demolishing the Mosque of Omar that stands on the Temple
site at Jerusalem. Moslem Egypt and her Arab 'brothers' will rise up to
preserve their claim to the Temple Mount, Islam's second most holy site.
Zechariah 14:1-5, 'Behold, the day of the LORD comes, and your spoil
shall be divided in the midst of you. (This is what we read in Daniel
11:39, 'and shall divide the land for gain'). For I will gather ALL
nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the
houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go
forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off
from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those
nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand
in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the
east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward
the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and
half of the mountain shall remove toward the north (Catholicism)
and half of it toward the south (Islam). And you shall flee to the
valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto
Azal: yea, you shall flee, like as you fled from before the earthquake in
the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all
the saints with thee'.
Daniel 11:40-43, 'And the king of the north shall come against him
like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships;
and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
He shall enter also into the glorious land (Israel), and many tens of
thousands shall be slain: but these shall escape out of his hand: Edom,
Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. He shall stretch forth his
hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. But
he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over
all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and Ethiopians shall be
at his steps'.
(The Western nations, and certainly the nominally Christian groups, will
place the Pope in charge of the NWO through the UN, in order to stop
further invasion of a crippled USA. International
Jews will covenant with Rome and the USA. Thus a new 'king of the
north' will swiftly counterattack the king of the south. He will
enter the Promised Land, and many tens of thousands shall be killed
(Daniel 11:12). But Edom, Moab and Ammon, Israel's kindred and enemy will
escape his power. But he shall seize the kingdom of the Ptolemy's, Libya
to the West, and Cush (to the South) which shall submit to the king of
the north.
Now in covenant with Israel, Rome will move to consolidate her power and
her wealth. The two prophets to Israel will be ministering the trumpet
mysteries, God confirming the words of their lips. A new house of worship
will be erected on the Temple site. In the midst of the week the Pope
will force his mark of the beast at the consecration of the Temple, and
Rome will break her agreement with the self-styled Jews, killing the two
prophets and placing a price on the heads of the 144,000).
Daniel 11:44-45, 'But tidings out of the east and out of the north
shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy
and utterly to make away many. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his
palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come
to his end, and none shall help him'.
(Three and a half years after her victory Rome is ruling from Jerusalem.
Alarming intelligence from the East and the North comes with great fury,
the incarnate 'ruler of heaven, earth and purgatory' goes forth to
utterly destroy the 'kings of the East' and Russia. Whatever you
might understand from the news, Communism is not
dead. Communism is a vessel God has raised up to destroy the false
church. At this time, 'the ten horns which you saw upon the beast,
shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall
eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God has put in their hearts to
fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast,
until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which you saw is
that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth'
(Revelation 17:16-18).
(Rome's European allies will terminate their agreement, bomb Vatican City
off the face of this earth (Revelation 18:17-19), annihilate the USA, and
Armageddon set in).
Daniel 12 takes us to the start of Daniel's Seventieth Week to the
terminus of "the time of Jacob's trouble." 'At that time Michael shall
stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of THY PEOPLE
(Israel): and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was
since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy
people shall be delivered, everyone whose name is found written in the
Book'.
After the Tribulation, during the Millennium, we see the tribes once more
in Divine order (Ezekiel 48:1-8, 22-29).
The names of individual Gentiles or Israelites guilty of idolatry are
blotted out from under heaven and removed from the Book of Life.
Now let's reconnect with Psalms 1:1-6. 'Blessed is the man who walks
not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor
sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the Law of the
LORD; and in His Law does he meditate day and night. And he shall be like
a Tree planted by the rivers of water'.
(The Bible is about redemption not replacement.
This is a chosen Tree; the word planted means transplanted or purposely
placed by irrigation canals for cultivation) 'that brings forth his
fruit in his season' (God's elect is the fruit of the seed Word of
Christ, the Tree of Life); his leaf also shall not wither; and
whatsoever he does shall prosper'.
This is the river symbolized in Ezekiel 40-48, flowing from under the
Throne, bringing new life, restoring and subduing the earth (Genesis
1:28). Ezekiel's temple does not belong to the new heavens and new earth,
for in Revelation 21:22 there is no temple. And whereas this land is
bound by sea and desert there will be neither in the new earth.
Ezekiel 47:12, 'And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side
and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not
fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth
new fruit according to his months, because their waters issued out from
the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf
thereof for medicine'.
These trees grew by the water from the sanctuary which is the water of
Life or Holy Spirit. They symbolize Christ reproduced in the Old and New
Testament saints who are the fruit of the 24 courses of ministry of the
twenty-four elders—the twelve Old Testament Patriarchs and the twelve
apostles. They constitute God's temple, His holy dwelling place. (Note
there is no unapproachable Holy of Holies in this sanctuary).
Matthew 7:15-20, 'Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by
their FRUITS. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even
so every GOOD TREE brings forth good FRUIT; but a CORRUPT TREE brings
forth evil FRUIT. (These Words of Jesus take us back to the two
spiritual trees in the Garden of Eden, the Tree of Life and the Tree of
the Knowledge of good and evil). A good tree cannot bring forth evil
fruit; neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that
brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their FRUITS you shall know them'.
The LEAVES of the tree represent its virility or life. In Autumn the sap
goes down to the roots and the leaves die and fall to the ground but in
Springtime it revives and puts forth leaves (Matthew 24:32). The leaves
from the trees in Ezekiel 47 are for medicine or healing. Like the Lord's
Supper, they are a symbol, and memorial of the Spiritual healing and
eternal Life imparted by the twenty-four courses of ministry.
Revelation 22:2, 'In the midst of the street of it, and on either side
of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of
fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree
were for the healing of the nations.' When the kings of the earth
bring the tithe of their produce, they'll take a leaf from the Tree of
Life—the same Tree Adam and Eve should have partaken in the Garden of
Eden. This is a symbol of peace and restoration to life like the olive
leaf the dove brought back to Noah after the waters of the Flood began to
recede.
Jeremiah 17:5-8, 'Thus saith the LORD; cursed be the man who trusts in
man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the LORD.
(Or who walks in the counsel of the ungodly, stands in the way of
sinners, or sits in the seat of the scornful). For he shall be like
the desert heath and not see when good comes, and inhabit the parched
places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. (Heath is
a stunted shrub. The Hebrew word means stripped and destitute and is the
root of the word 'heathen,' [which according to the dictionary, is
an unenlightened person] estranged from the Tree of Life). Blessed is
the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall
be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreads out her roots by the
river, and shall not notice when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green;
and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from
yielding fruit.' (The heath is mean and inward-looking, concerned for
its own welfare whereas the tree planted by waters has a permanent Life
resource and is willing to share its life with 'whosoever will').
Psalms 1:4-6, 'The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which
the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
judgment nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD
knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall
perish'.
