Vespasian was finally convinced that Josephus truly spoke as a prophet. His life spared, Josephus became acquainted with Titus and eventually became his advisor. Years later, Josephus wrote his account of the Jewish rebellion against Rome. In this account he describes a number of omens that preceded the war . . . (Translation adapted from Henry St. J. Thackeray, Josephus II: The Jewish War Books I-III, LCL 203 (London: Heinemann; Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1927, 689. Josephus, Antiquities, 18).

Other false Jewish Messiahs include Simon (4BC), a former slave of Herod the Great who rebelled, and Athronges (3BC). Following the vindicated true Messiah Jesus of Nazareth (4BC - AD30) we have list at least 25 Jewish false messiahs. Rabbi Akiba proclaimed Simon bar Kokhba (Simon ben Kosiba) the Messiah: this charismatic Jewish military leader led the Bar Kokhba Revolt against the Roman Empire (AD132 - 136). Most recently Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994): "Long live our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe King Moshiach forever and ever"! He vigorously encouraged the singing by swaying to and fro and swinging his hand – as he had done at the numerous farbrengens (informal, inspirational Hasidic gatherings practiced primarily by Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidim) over the year. This prayer is sung every day by his followers, and is regarded as having a magical effect in bringing about the resurrection of this "King-Messiah".

This testifies to complete unbelief in the Law and absence of faith. Jesus Christ was rejected, yet his life matched every Scripture spoken of Messiah, while none of these "wannabes" identified with a single prophecy.

If "The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah," none of the Prime Ministers of the modern state of Israel qualify; most have been terrorists and have blood on their hands, or narrowly escaped imprisonment for criminal activities. Israel's Messiah was to be a Hebrew and Israelite of the Tribe of Judah; none of these people appear to have Semitic features. In deeds they resemble Saddam Hussein, who was of pure Semitic Iraqi blood like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; their physical features bear no relation to Mr. Hussein (with his overbite), the hanged stand-in (with his underbite), or any other Iraqi, Palestinian or Semitic person. God's law of reproduction requires everything bring forth after its own kind, whose seed is in itself. Was Moses a lying prophet, or are these so-called Jews "strangers?" and if so, which class of "stranger" are they? It is difficult to see these "wannabe" Messiahs as God's people, "chosen" to redeem Israel and "all the ends of the earth" (Isaiah 44:20-25)!

If these so-called Jews are not Semitic – and since they stole the land of Israel they have not ceased to kill and persecute those who are Semitic: Syrians and Iraqis, Hebrews, Lebanese and Palestinians who lived in harmony for centuries before these new arrivals – are they non-Semitic "strangers" as the Bible, historians and every Jewish Encyclopedia asserts? And are they not only hyperethnocentric but also anti-Semitic as indicated daily by reports in the Jewish- controlled news?

In this issue of his Last Trumpet Newsletter, Pastor David J. Meyer writes, "We will examine the greatest of all problems in the United States at this present time. In fact, it is the condition that leads to all other problems and allows Satan and his Illuministic human stooges to advance their cause and hellish agenda of one-world governance in a new world order. The problem I am referring to is apathy toward truth.

In the Scriptures, our Saviour told us that it has always been Satan's job and purpose to lay a foundation of deceit and build upon it with lies. Lies thrive in the darkness of misunderstanding and secrecy, but truth shines forth and cannot be hid. People everywhere have a choice to accept or reject the light of truth. If they reject truth, there is nothing left but the darkness of Satan's kingdom and domain. The Lord Jesus clearly stated this as the world's greatest problem. John 3:19 as follows: "And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil".

We now live in a world full of people who believe a whole lot of things that just aren't so, and they know very little about what is truly happening. It has been correctly stated that you can sell lies, but you cannot give the truth away. I might add that the truth is freely given to all who would gladly receive it and love it. Lies, however, always come with an ever-increasing price. Religions, governments, commerce, and every endeavour of sinful men are built on lies and deceit and are perpetuated by them. All that Satan has built up and established in the world through wars, commotions, craftiness of conspiracies, varieties of religions and brainwashing philosophies are leading up to one great lie and grand deception at the end of this world . . ."

The BIG, "Big Lie"! Satan's children are working to establish Lucifer's totalitarian one world government according to the Talmud as Baruch Levy wrote in his 1928 "Letter to Karl Marx" (Matthew 15:1-9; 23:33-35; John 8:44; Revelation 2:9; 3:9). Besides replicating the original sin, which was miscegenation, now deceitfully labeled multiculturalism and mandated worldwide by their UN, "as it was in the days of Noah" (Matthew 24:37; Genesis 6:1-4), they are re-engineering man made in the image of God with dominion over Earth and all therein to a mind-controlled godless product evolved from and subject to "Mother Earth," and of course the unelected "peak representative body" of elite Jews who "will have all the property of the whole world in their hands." Self-deceptive thought control imposed by education and entertainments scientifically designed to this end is mandated by statute and results in unbelief and apathy to truth (II Thessalonians 2:10-12).

Bearing in mind what Brother Branham has said about ministering in such a way as to separate the elect believer from the make-believers and the un-believers who are without faith, consider what he said concerning the persecution of Israel under the Fifth and Sixth Trumpets of World Wars I and II, at which time Earth endured the first two woes of rebirth for the millennium (Matthew 24:8; Revelation 9:1-21; 11:14). In this Message and also in the revelation of the Fifth Seal he explains how God used those wars to force Israel back to the Promised Land. But Israel, "stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears" (Deuteronomy 10:13), would not forsake the flesh pots of fish; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and garlic of civilization for obedience in the barren Land of the Covenant: very few relocated. In any event the political Zionists did not want the Covenant people, and forcibly shipped self-styled Jews, often against their will, or under the delusion they were bound for the United States.

Just as someone has to print the Bibles, Christians study and someone had to build cities and plant crops to house and feed Israel before Joshua subdued Canaan, someone had to re-establish a state for Israel, build infrastructure and create an economy in Canaan after 1948 to accommodate 144,000 elect Israelites and their kindred who will return eighty years later to hear two Hebrew prophets expound the Feast of Trumpets. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).

The Babylonian Talmud, or Oral Torah (so-called) is considered by the rabbis more authoritative than the five Books of Moses, which it makes void. It claims Nebuzaradan slew 2.11 million Jews in a valley and 0.94 million in Jerusalem, and that warm blood bubbled up out of the ground. (An exceptional witness, Elie Wiesel, who contradicts himself from book to book, wrote regarding Babi Yar where it is claimed Jews were executed: "I learn from a witness that, for month after month, the ground never stopped trembling; and that, from time to time, geysers of blood spurted from it" (Paroles d'étranger, Editions du Seuil, 1982, p. 86). So he did not "learn from a witness," he "learned from the Talmud," the antithesis of Truth – Isaiah 8:20). Vespasian killed four billion Jews in the city of Bethar, and Hadrian slaughtered 1.2 million Jews in Alexandria (Gittin 57b). Gittin 58a claims Romans wrapped 16 million Jewish children in scrolls and burned them alive. However ancient demography indicates there were not 16 million Jews in the entire world at that time, much less 16 million Jewish children, or four billion Jews.

Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), the founder of Zionism, spoke in his first diaries of six million European Jews under threat and said the so-called Jewish state would only be realized if there were a disaster for these six million Jews. An early reference to the persecution of six million Jews appeared in Encyclopaedia Britannica, purchased in 1900 by the Jewish Rockefellers: "While there are in Russia and Rumania six millions of Jews who are being systematically degraded" ('Antisemitism' 10th Ed. 1902, p. 482). Next, Max Nordau declared at the World Zionist Congress of 1911: "How dare the smooth talkers, the clever official blabbers, open their mouths and boast of progress . . . Here they hold jubilant peace conferences in which they talk against war . . . But the same righteous governments, who are so nobly, industriously active to establish the eternal peace, are preparing, by their own confession, complete annihilation for six million people, and there is nobody, except the doomed themselves, to raise his voice in protest although this is a worse crime than any war . . ." (Quoted from Perfidy, p. 254, by fellow-Zionist Ben Hecht). The Bolshevists and the British government also used the six million figure in holocaust propaganda against Germany during World War I.

Matthew inspired by Daniel

We must understand that throughout the Book of Revelation John represents YOU, God's elect members of His end-time Bride. So in studying the Revelation of Jesus Christ the first three chapters were the Seven Church Ages which were fulfilled when Christ revealed the Revelation of the Seven Seals through His forerunner the fifth Elijah, Brother William Branham in March, 1963. John that is YOU, Christ's end-time Bride were caught up in the fourth and fifth chapters revealing things that will be hereafter. In the Sixth chapter YOU, John, drops down to the earth again to see things that will take place from chapter 6:1 to 19:21. Here you will understand the Seven Seals, Seven Plagues, Seven Trumpets, Three Woes, the locusts, the woman in the sun, the casting out of the red dragon and the sealing of the 144,000 in "Gabriel's Instruction to Daniel" expounded by Brother Branham.

The Laodicean Church Age (1906 - 1963) ended sixty three years ago. Christ's mediation for ignorance of the fullness of the Word is fulfilled and "the mystery of God is finished as He has declared to His servants the prophets" (Revelation 10:7). Jesus has four titles: Son of David, heir to the throne; Son of Abraham, the royal grant; Son of man, heir of the earth; Son of God, heir to all things. During the Church Ages He was in the office Son of Man and Mediator for ignorance of the fullness of the Word, which was sealed until the close of the Seventh and last Church Age. Thereafter our near Kinsman Redeemer claimed the Book of Redemption from the original Owner—God Himself seated on the Throne, having loosed the Seven Seals which reveal how He redeemed us in each Church Age. Those foreknown in Christ's end-time Bride are redeemed and caught up in theophany to witness His coronation as King of Kings, Son of Man and JUDGE. Now like Ruth we are resting.

Jesus redeemed Israel on Calvary's Cross but when they rejected Him it could not be applied and He turned to elect Gentiles who received their redemption as our Kinsman Redeemer, typed by Boaz who had to redeem Naomi before he could marry her Gentile daughter in law, Ruth the Moabite. Even so Christ redeemed an election of Israel with His Own Blood and in the coming seventh week of years of Daniel's Seventieth Week when 144,000 elect Israelites will be born-again then martyred as the high priest and "all the people, said, His blood be on us, and on our children" (Matthew 27:25).

In the Old Testament property bound by debt could be held no longer than fifty years. The redemption and power that belonged to us was lost in the Garden of Eden. Now it is redeemed, sent to us by the baptism with the Holy Ghost on the fiftieth day when Peter announced our release from sin on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-39). Our Pentecostal Jubilee will Change Christ's Bride of all ages from this sin-bound world to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the Sky (I Corinthians 15:42-58).

Jeremiah 32:6-8 said, "The Word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, Buy my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is yours to buy it. So Hanameel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the Word of the LORD, and told me, Buy my field, I pray, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the Word of the LORD. And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son which was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver." The Judeans were going into captivity in Babylon. And the Deed was kept in an earthly vessel where the power of God and the scrolls and the secrets of God are known in the heart. Our plan of redemption is kept in an earthly vessel, Jesus' Name and the revelation. It was sealed with Seven Seals, each seal wrapped around the scroll. And as the revelation came forth, He pulled the Seal to loose the mystery and read what that what the Seal revealed. Then He loosed the next Seal on the scroll and read what it revealed. As each Seal is loosed the Book or scroll is unrolled, showing exactly what took place. Five is the plan of redemption by grace through faith. Five is the number of grace, and there are Seven Seals, Seven Spirits, Seven Angels, Seven Trumpets, and Seven Church Ages. Five is grace, and seven is perfection.

7 weeks of years + 62 weeks of years + 1 week of years = 70 weeks of sabbatical years, or 490 years. This was God's recompense for Jewry's failure to rest the land on the sabbatical or seventh year, and furthermore neglect to allow the land to lie fallow on the Jubilee or fiftieth Year (Exodus 23:10-11; Leviticus 25:3-7, 11-12, 18-32). The first 69 Weeks was accomplished at Christ's First Coming which unbelieving Israel refused and crucified Christ, their near Kinsman Redeemer Who rose on the third day. Daniel's Seventieth Week will commence at the close of the Gentile dispensation when Los Angeles sinks beneath the Pacific Ocean. On the third day the Church Age saints will resurrect Church Age by Church Age during which time Christ's end-time Bride will become a hunted and persecuted people—our "third pull" manifesting that we are the Sons of God Who will provide our needs (Romans 8:19-39). And on our Pentecostal Jubilee we will change in the atoms and meet the Lord in the air (I Corinthians 15:51-58).

"Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your holy city, to 1. finish the transgression, and 2. to make an end of sins, and 3. to make reconciliation for iniquity, and 4. to bring in everlasting righteousness, and 5. to seal up the vision and prophecy, and 6. to anoint the most Holy. (This is the sixfold purpose of Gabriel's visit to Daniel). Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks (of years), and threescore and two weeks (of years): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks (of years) Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself: and the people of the prince that shall come(Rome's General Titus) will destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end shall come overwhelmingly as with a flood, and desolations are decreed unto the end of the war. Imperial Rome will become Papal Rome and the fourth Gentile Empire will confirm the covenant of Daniel 9:27 with many (Israel) for one week (of years): and in the midst of the week the Pope shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, (Revelation13:15-18) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate".

All seven Church Ages are fulfilled. Daniel 9:1-4 and 20-27 is Daniel's prayer: "In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans. In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books (Jeremiah 25:8-16, Exodus 23:10-11; Leviticus 25:3-7; 18-22; 26:32-35, 43; and probably II Chronicles 36:21, each of which mention) the number of years whereof the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years (a lifetime) in the desolation of Jerusalem. And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, and fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: and I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love Him, and to them that keep his commandments . . . And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give you skill and understanding. At the beginning of your supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show you; for you are greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision."

The Good Friday earthquake will sink Greater Los Angeles and her population of 18.5 million marking the close of the Gentile Dispensation, igniting the Pacific Ring of Fire, moving mountains, sinking islands and sending tsunamis across oceans. Russia will invade the United States and the Pentagon will surrender. Russia's strategy will be to avoid another war in Europe and to restore sanity to the United States which is a war-mongering rogue state and already 40 trillion dollars in debt to other nations and peoples and will soon collapse fiat currencies worldwide. However the United Nations in New York will proclaim Rome's Pope the "Man of Peace" and inaugural world president, and Russia will withdraw her forces.

Each Seal in God's precious Word unfolds the mystery of the Age by the Spirit to the saints in the Church Age in which they are living. When the last Seal was loosed, we discovered the Angel Jesus Christ standing with one foot on the land (signifying the United States) and one foot on the Mediterranean Sea (signifying Rome), with His hands upheld to heaven, and a rainbow over His head, swearing by Him Who lives forever and ever, that (Gk.) 'chronos' time (hours, days and years) expired on the last Seal (Revelation 10:6). After you undertstand the seventy weeks of (490) years you realize what the Seven Seals and time have run out. Redemption is over, and Christ is the Lion of Judah. He was your Saviour this morning, but one day He may be your Judge.

Revelation 5:8-14 reveals that it is time for the Lamb to be worshipped both in heaven and on earth, the Seven Sealed Book, the worthy Lamb, the Kinsman Redeemer and the Angels worship Him, elders worship Him, living creatures worship Him, and John (who represents YOU throughout the Book) worship Him. (YOU) say, "Every creature in heaven, in the earth and underneath the earth heard me saying, 'Blessings, glory, power, wisdom, might be to the Lamb.'"

This will be the great tribulation; "the time of Jacob's trouble" (Jeremiah 30:7), Israel's seventieth and final Week of Years will proceed in two sections of three and a half years. Rome will remind Jewry of their mutual covenant. Daniel 9:27: "Rome shall confirm the covenant with many (Israel) for one week." (Perhaps the parties will neglect to read the Full story: as we say) "and in the midst of the week Rome will cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease" (Israel will build a third temple,) "and for the overspreading of abominations make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate".

This sounds like a Trump Deal that will take him to Rome's new global headquarters, Jerusalem. Jewish wealth is in paper, stocks bonds, banking, financial arrangements, contracts, money, etc., they will be devastated. The Deal will revive the statutory reserve banking racket, a global economy and new US dollar financed by Roman gold. Rome will permit Jewry to assemble their prefabricated CKD third temple and Outer Court in Jerusalem. After the Good Friday earthquake Moses and Elijah will return to Israel and minister in the first half of Daniel's seventieth week. The Pope incarnate by Satan cast down to earth will engage an American image of himself who in the second half of the seventieth week will enforce Rome's religion on pain of death (Revelation 12:9 - 13:1-17).

In Revelation 13:11-18 we "behold another beast coming up out of the earth (i.e. United States); and he had two horns like a lamb (church and state), and he spoke as a dragon. And exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, (the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki). And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live (when Imperial Rome became Papal Rome). And he had power to give (demonic) life unto the image of the (American) beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand (servitude), or in their foreheads (dogma): 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. Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six".

In speaking of the identification of antichrist that will become "the beast," Jesus said, "This calls for (Spiritual) wisdom. Let he who has understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, his number is 666" (Revelation 13:18). We "count the number of the beast" by adding the Roman numerals that constitute the papal title, VICARIVS FILII DEI: "vicar–deputy or substitute for Christ" or substitute for the Holy Spirit. Thus: 5 + 1 + 100 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 50 + 1 + 1 + 500 + 1 = 666.

Daniel 9:20-27, "And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplications before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yes, while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in a vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give you skill and understanding. At the beginning of your supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show you; for you are greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and. to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."

There is the Sixfold Purpose of Gabriel's Visit to Daniel.

"Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks of years, and three-score and two weeks of years: the street shall be built again, and the walls, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself: and the people of the prince that shall come (General Titus) and will destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and to the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week of years: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abomination he shall make it desolate, even unto the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate".

The Church is taken out in the Fourth and Fifth Seals. Revelations 6:1 – 19:21 is connected with the seventy weeks; in there are the Seven Seals, Seven Trumpets, Seven Vials or Plagues, the three unclean spirits like frogs, three Woes, the casting out of the red dragon, and the woman in the sun all take place in this seventieth week.

The prophet Daniel had been in Babylon for 68 years. He went into captivity in 606BC and this vision came to him in 538BC. He lived among the heathen with only three companions of faith in different parts of the kingdom, victorious and undefiled before God without the baptism of the Holy Ghost and the Blood of Jesus Christ to make intercessions, with only the blood of bulls and goats and heifers which he offered secretly.

Daniel began to see that the time was getting close even as we find that (Gk.) 'chronos' time is no more, for the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ was in 1963, showing Himself alive after two thousand years. Nations are breaking, the sea is a-roaring with tsunamis, men's hearts are failing for fear (Luke 21:25-26), racial disintegration, the handwriting is on the wall and the Holy Spirit is moving among the elected, the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Jeremiah 25-11, "Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; because you have not heard My Words, Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations. Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years".

Brother Branham said: "I prophesy that this whole United States shall become desolate. God shall punish this nation for her sins. If God would not let Israel, His elected, Abraham's seed with whom He made the covenant and promise, if He would not let them get by with wrongdoing, though they were religious to the core, had the great churches, the priests, and rabbis, but because of the immorality and things among them, God made them reap what they sowed, so shall we get it. You see the history repeating itself? Jeremiah wouldn't agree with their Pharisees, Sadducees and Herodians, whatever they might be. Jeremiah didn't stay home. Jeremiah didn't just stay in one little spot, but he made all the nations drink it.

Daniel had been reading the same Words that we are reading this morning. He read the same Bible, the same punctuation, the same sentences, but Jeremiah wrote these Words (Jeremiah 25:8-16) in 606BC, many years before Daniel. Sixty-eight of the seventy years were already accomplished. And Daniel set himself in order to pray, he was a Voice crying out of the wilderness, calling the people back to the original Message, back to the things of God. I understand by the Book those things will take place.

I understand that in the last days there'll be a famine; the churches will be so organized and so set that in the last days there'll come a famine, and it will not be for bread and water only, but for hearing the true Word of God. And people will go from the east, from the west, from the north and the south seeking to hear the true Word of God. But the churches will be so organized and tightened up that they'll fail to hear It (Amos 8:8-14). I understand that by books. But in that day, oh God, there'll be a Branch rise up from David.

I understand that He'll send Elijah before that day comes at the end time, and he'll have a Message that'll turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers, turn them back to the original: go back again to the end and start. I understand that that'll take place just before the Spirit leaves the Gentile church to return to the Jews (Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 17:11). I understand by the written Word that Israel will return to his homeland. And I see him going in. I understand by letters of the prophets that Israel will become a nation. They'll re-establish the temple worship. And God will go to dealing with her again when she comes to her homeland. Two prophets will rise up with them in the last days, just as the Gentile Church moves out, two prophets, Moses and Elijah will come to Israel.

Gabriel appeared to reveal not only what Daniel was asking about, but to tell him what is determined for the Jewish race all the way to the consummation. Amen. Daniel was just trying to find out, "How much longer, Lord, will it be? Jeremiah the prophet, Your servant, my brother, prophesied sixty-eight years ago and said there's seventy years that this people will stay in here. All the old generation's practically gone now". The Law failed; Moses went with it; Moses failed. "Joshua" means "Jesus our Saviour" . . . Joshua took them over. We find out that the organizations have failed. But the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit will come into the Church, not an organization, but the Holy Spirit will get among the people and make Israel ready to go up and cross Jordan. I understand by the reading of the Book that that's what is to take place, and God knows that's what I'm seeking now, that I might comfort His people and tell them what's at hand, both here this morning and out through the lands that these tapes will go worldwide, that we're at the end time.

In 445BC King Artaxerses, understanding the cause of Nehemiah's sadness commanded Daniel's people to build and restore Jerusalem's city walls . . . finish the transgression, make a end of sin, make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, seal up the vision and prophecy, and anoint the most Holy Place from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem . . . unto Messiah the Prince shall be seventy weeks . . . and they went out. Gabriel said, "I've come to reveal these things; the abomination shall make it desolate, even unto the consummation . . . the end of all things. Daniel, you're beloved in heaven. And I heard your prayers, and I have come down now to tell you what's determined for the Jews and Jerusalem from right now to the consummation, the whole thing."

Now, do YOU understand? If we can find out what these seventy weeks are, we know when the consummation is.

When God made the earth and set it in orbit, there is nothing that fails. Why, this world turns perfectly till they can tell you exactly when the sun and moon will pass in twenty years from today to the exact minute. (Clearly there is no such thing as a flat earth. Laser proves this as does my "Norries Nautical Tables," and the sextant as well as any nautical or aeronautical chart. You cannot fall over the edge). There's only one Perfect, and that's God, His creation and His Word is the same; so God's Word is perfect. So if we can find these days, we will find exactly when the consummation will be, and I think we have found that.

It's determined to the consummation: Jesus referred to this in Matthew 24:14-51. This is essential reading and understanding. Verse 14 is the cheering keynote echoing through all the doleful sounds of this prophecy of Daniel. "Though ever so many dazzling pseudo messiahs arise, though bloody wars and wild tumult fill the world, though the existing order of things be overthrown by the storm of revolutions or by the migrations of whole nations (which is now in process), though the earth be visited by devastating pestilence, or be shaken in its very foundations—notwithstanding, the Gospel of the Kingdom, that glorious Kingdom of God and His Anointed, shall be published to all nations, so that anyone in Adam's race may have an opportunity to accept it, and that it may be a witness against them that reject it".

John 12:19-29, "The Pharisees said among themselves, We've lost! – See, the whole world has gone after Him." Among those going up to worship at the feast were certain Greeks who came to Philip of Bethsaida of Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we would see Jesus." Philip came and told Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip went to Jesus. Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come, for the Son of man to be glorified." That is, crucified, resurrected and then glorified. "Jesus said, Now is My soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify Your name. Then came a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it said that it thundered."

The Israelites having rejected Jesus were apostate, but the Gentiles sought faith. Today the "Gentiles are rich, increased with goods, have need of nothing, and know not that they are wretched, and miserable, spiritually bankrupt, blind to the faith and naked of the Blood" (Revelation 3:17). You see, in Jesus' day the dispensation changed from Israel to us Gentiles, whereas today it is time for Christ's Bride to be glorified and for Jesus to return to 144,000 elect Israelites.

1. In Revelation 1:10 John (represents YOU as a member of Christ's Bride), he was in the Spirit on the Lord's day and they heard a great Voice as of a Trumpet behind Him (in man's day) which was God speaking from His eternal throne (Revelation 4:1 - 6:1). It thundered as soon as the Lamb opened the Seal.

2. Next it is a series of symbols (Revelation 2-3) signifying the Six WRITTEN Seals (Revelation 6:1-17).

3. Matthew 24 holds the Six WRITTEN Seals. Verses 4-5 is the First Seal; verse 6 is the Second Seal; verses 7-8 are the Third and Fourth Seals; verses 9-13 is the Fifth Seal, and verses 29-31 is the Sixth Seal

4. "When Christ had opened the Seventh Seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." The Seventh Seal is UNWRITTEN, being the revelation of the previous Six WRITTEN Seals (Revelation 10:1-7).     nl1396.htm
