Our Main Article "Overview of Revelation Nine to Eleven" is a blessing that deserves careful study. We posted additional news items in
this issue because prophecy is coming to pass. Our Gentile dispensation will terminate shortly, and the God of Israel will gather an election of
144,000 blood Israelites of Jacob's lineage who will return to the Promised Land. Once the New Testament saints rise and Christ's end-time
Bride is translated these Israelites will feel their trumpets calling them to Palestine in the time of Jacob's trouble. Moses and Elijah will minister
in Jerusalem for forty-two months introducing Messiah's unseen second or (Gk.) 'parousia' coming. Thereafter they will be martyred
publicly, raised after three and a half days and then caught up to the heaven in sight of the world.
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of
Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

'WE LOST': Washington Insider DROPS BOMBSHELL on Trump's Iran War for Israel
August 16, 2026 — As the Pentagon secretly burns through its
finite stock of missile interceptors, top foreign policy insiders and US troops on the ground are sounding an unprecedented alarm: Washington
is running out of time, leverage and ammunition. In this explosive interview, top foreign policy analyst Dr. Trita Parsi (Executive Vice President
of the Quincy Institute) breaks down the hidden reality behind the Middle East conflict and warns that America has walked into an unmitigated
geopolitical trap. Full story: youtube.com

'Quit! Stop!' Dire Warning on Iran, $150 Oil & Escalation
August 16, 2026 — Col. Douglas Macgregor arguing that the
United States now faces two hard ceilings on how long it can continue: the bond market and its own missile production line.
The memorandum of understanding collapsed, international capital will not finance Gulf reconstruction under current conditions; expect oil near
$150 a barrel within months. The difference between a nuclear threshold state and a nuclear armed state is most dangerous—including Israel's
so-called Samson Option and the cascading proliferation that would follow any use of a nuclear device in the region.
How the stated objective moved from regime change, to nonproliferation, to reopening the Gulf. The two hard constraints: the 10-year Treasury
yield and US missile manufacturing capacity China, Russia, Belt and Road, and why Beijing is watching Iranian performance closely. Taiwan, the

Are we closer to Nuclear War than ever before?
August 16, 2027 — It
appears that most of the population has become way too apathetic about the threat of nuclear war . . . Not in Russia, in the Ukraine, or the
Middle East. We should be very thankful that the Russians have been showing a great deal of restraint so far. But they are clearly running
out of patience. In a desperate attempt to provoke the Russians into doing something really stupid so that NATO will be forced to enter the
war, the Ukrainians have been striking "four key categories of targets". . . Russia believes that US is playing a far deeper role in Ukrainian
attacks on Russian territory than Washington has publicly acknowledged . . . Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said . . . Unfortunately,
Lavrov is not wrong about this.
According to one report the Chinese are highly concerned about the possibility that the Russians might lose patience and decide to use nukes
against Ukraine . . . Marjorie Taylor Greene is claiming that she knows with 100 percent certainty the potential use of nuclear weapons against
Iran is being discussed in high-level strategy meetings in Washington . . . Full story: Michael Snyder's Substack.

Trump Made the One Move that can't be Undone — and It's Too Late
August 15, 2026 — President Donald Trump's recent decisions are
raising major questions about US foreign policy, military strategy, and America's position on the world stage. In this video, we examine the
argument associated with Col. Douglas Macgregor and explore the potentially irreversible consequences of a major strategic move by the Trump
administration . . . Full story: youtube.com
Comment: Col. Douglas Macgregor: Israel is Collapsing – and No One Can Stop It. Mounting pressures—military, economic, diplomatic
and internal—are converging to test the resilience of a state long regarded as the region's most capable military power. Sustained multi-front
engagement, economic toll of extended mobilization and diplomatic isolation is building within international institutions and traditional
partners. We trace the historical parallels to other regional powers that faced compounding crises, and what those precedents suggest about
resilience versus collapse. What happens when military strength, economic capacity, and diplomatic goodwill are tested simultaneously—and
can any state withstand that pressure indefinitely? youtube.com
The Insane Story of Benjamin Netanyahu
August 15, 2026 — For decades, Netanyahu has dominated Israeli politics, becoming the country's longest-serving prime minister. But this is not a biography of his political career. It is an attempt to psychologically understand the man behind it and the forces that shaped. From the influence of his father and the ideology he inherited, to his formative years in America, and his growing identification of his own fate with that of Israel itself—we trace the forces that shaped Benjamin Netanyahu's worldview.

The Government is not Ours
August 14, 2026 — Colonel Douglas Macgregor discusses a
growing crisis inside the United States, the strain on the US military, and the consequences of maintaining a long-term military presence in the
Middle East. He argues that Washington has lost focus on protecting American interests at home while continuing to commit resources
overseas.
Macgregor also addresses the controversy surrounding US policy toward Israel, arguing that what he describes as an "Israel first" approach is
creating serious strategic problems for Washington. He discusses reports involving sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, including claims of
sailors jumping overboard and reports of injuries and deaths amid what he describes as severe pressure on crews serving at sea for extended
periods. Macgregor questions why the United States remains involved in the region and warning about the potential consequences of continued
military escalation. He argues that prolonged operations, economic pressure, and overseas deployments could further weaken US military
readiness and increase the risk of a broader US–Iran conflict. Macgregor further discusses political polarization, economic instability, government
power, and the possibility of deeper social unrest inside the United States. Full story: youtube.com
American Imperialism now Without USA?
August 14, 2026 — Iran was on the verge of victory. Iran had
both the USA and its closest ally in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, firmly in a vise grip. The straits of Hormuz and Bab el Mandeb could be closed
at any time. A new military alliance was forged from the sands of the eastern desert. Will that tripartite alliance with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and
Pakistan last?
The USA would no longer have access to raw materials for fertilizers. Saudi Arabia cannot get its oil tankers through the two straits. The
financial situation of both the USA and Saudi Arabia is deteriorating increasingly. Trump stands empty-handed and deeply embarrassed before
the midterm elections next November. Iran is raising its demands for a ceasefire to astronomical heights. To soften the military strategic edge a
bit, the three Sunni heads of state meet at the highest Muslim sanctuary, namely Mecca. A place infidels are not allowed to enter.
So: whoever attacks a NATO member country will have to deal with all 32 NATO states. And in this case: whoever attacks one of the three
Sunni nations will feel the full might of all three military forces. After all, the three nations are quite heavyweight in their own right: Pakistan
has the atomic bomb. Saudi Arabia has a lot of money and, on top of that, a powerful air force. And Turkey has the second-largest NATO force,
with a potential of almost 900,000 soldiers. Full story: globalresearch.ca
Military Exercises Serving as Media Propaganda: Ukrainians ‘Obliterated' US in Military Exercise
August 14, 2026 — "Combined Resolve" in Germany involved 3,500 American service members, mostly from the 3rd Armored Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division. Their task (Exercise) was to attack the "opposing force" that included Ukrainian drone operators from the 412th Nemesis Regiment of the Kiev regime forces. The result? An entire American armored brigade "destroyed" in minutes. Ukrainian drones disabled US equipment so quickly that it had to be returned as "resurrected" units just to keep the drills going. One of the mainstream media's most common propaganda tropes is that NATO is "the best-trained and equipped military force on the planet." This delusion stems from the belief that Western standards are still considered "superior" in most countries, prompting their widespread adoption around the globe . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca
Continuity of Criminality. Removing Forensic Evidence of ongoing Genocide against Palestinians
August 12, 2026 — The West and its agencies continue to cover-
up great crimes with impunity as legacy media maintains and profits from its role as criminal accomplice. The destruction of forensic evidence will serve to advance the false narrative that "it (the genocide) did not happen." In fact,
"erasing the genocide" is longstanding policy. In a July 2024 article this writer noted that, All of this recalls similar criminality in New York shortly after the 9/11 false flag. Richard Gage, founder and former CEO of
Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, asks:
Not surprisingly, the aforementioned crime-scenes are related.
As revealed by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor,
Israel has decided to remove and destroy forensic evidence of its on-going genocide against Palestinians. Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor,
"estimates that at least 10 million tonnes of rubble have been removed, crushed, or moved from their original sites within the areas under
Israel's unlawful military control, which encompass about 66 per cent of the Gaza Strip" (1).
The report further explains that:
(t)he systematic removal of rubble at this pace conceals the evidence of appalling crimes Israel committed in Gaza, especially those related to
genocide, such as summary executions and killing unarmed civilians. These sites need careful examination and thorough criminal investigation
before any intervention that might change or erase their features. (2)
Zionists have been bombing and destroying hospitals as policy. Not only are they murdering hospital personnel, but computer servers and other
instruments of recording deaths are being destroyed.
The real death toll so far (according to Susan Abulhawa) . . . would be 193,000 plus to 514,000 plus. (3)
[RG911Team] Why did the NYC mayor admit to covering up 9/11?
Ground Zero was a crime scene, but he had 120 dump trucks haul away debris THE SAME DAY to be put on barges. This violates CSI rules.
But we should also ask: how were these dump trucks, construction equipment and drivers so readily available on such short notice to carry out
this unlawful operation?
Note that this is not how a rescue operation is conducted for a major building collapse. When the goal is to save lives trapped in the rubble, it
is a slow, methodical process (4)
The 9/11 false flag served as a false pretext for the fraudulent "War on Terror" and US Empire's global aggressions and hegemony in the name
of fighting the very same terrorists (al Qaeda, ISIS et al.) that it covertly supports. It served as a pretext for a "New Middle East" of balkanized
and destroyed nation-states and Zionist expansion, all in violation of the Charter of the United Nations and the sovereignty of previously
independent nation states.
Legacy media filters and censors the criminality, the mass carnage, and the fabricated chaos with a view to ultimately "disappearing" reality and
replacing it with a substitute narrative. The false doctrine of "democracy and freedom" figures prominently in the false narratives, especially
when the forensic evidence to the contrary is removed.
"Cycles of impunity" embolden the West's criminalized "classe politique" and reassure it that their crimes will be largely forgotten. Full

Why is Turkey Transferring US ATACMS to Ukraine on Behalf of NATO?
August 12, 2026 — This will be by far the largest single transfer
of NATO-sourced weapons and munitions to the Kiev regime outside the United States. It comes at a critical moment for the political West, as
the Neo-Nazi junta's ATACMS stockpiles are virtually gone after years of failures against the Russian military, both in terms of losses caused by
Moscow's world-class long-range precision
strike capabilities and its no less stellar SAM/ABM (surface-to-air missile/anti-ballistic missile) systems.
With the US embroiled in its disastrous aggression against Iran, the Pentagon is unable to
restock its own arsenal, let alone spare some of its missiles for the Kiev regime . . .

Could the Crashing Yen Trigger Hyperinflation in the US?
August 12, 2026 — A cratering yen has set off alarms on Wall
Street and in financial centers around the world. If the Bank of Japan sells its behemoth stockpile US Treasuries (now exceeding $1.2 trillion) to
support its sagging currency, the US bond market could go into a nosedive dragging the global economy off a cliff. That is why on Friday, July
31, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent launched an unprecedented currency intervention to prop up the anemic yen and to forestall an
impending financial meltdown. Surprisingly, Bessent implemented a Euros-for-Yen trade via the New York Fed so as not to weaken the dollar or
trigger a selloff in bonds . . .
This is from Forbes: The wobbling Japanese yen could trigger a global financial crisis . . . The yen recently reached a 40-year low against the
dollar . . . a further fall in the currency's value will precipitate a crisis of confidence that will not only set off a serious bout of inflation inside
Japan . . . but also adversely impact financial markets around the world . . . Cory Swan might be onto something when he suggests Bessent and
his fellows are pushing us towards hyperinflation followed by the loss of reserve currency status. In fact, it seems almost inevitable now. Check
it out:
. . . Japan cannot keep defending forever without selling Treasuries or pushing the Bank of Japan into even more extreme measures. The US just
showed that it will use other currencies and its own balance sheet to paper over the pressure because a disorderly yen collapse threatens the
entire dollar system. That path leads to more dollar printing, more liquidity, more attempts to manage what cannot be managed. Every one of
those moves devalues the dollar, the unit of account that still prices nearly everything. @Cory Swan (start at 53 seconds)
Regardless of what happens on Monday, the nation's path has already been charted by Soros protégé at Treasury (Bessent) and his esteemed
colleagues at the Central Bank. The dollar will weaken, the economy will tumble, and the American people will suffer. That much is certain.

Overview of Revelation Nine to Eleven
Revelation 9:1-6, "The Fifth Trumpet Angel sounded, and I
saw a star having fallen from the heaven to earth and Lucifer was given the key of the abyss (Isaiah 14:12; Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:9).
And he opened the pit of the abyss; and a smoke ascended out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were
darkened by the smoke of the pit" (the evil conscience of the self-burning dead in Gehenna). "And out of the smoke came forth locusts
upon the earth: and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was said to them that they must not injure the
grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree; but only men without the Seal of God on their foreheads. And to them it was given that
they should not kill them, but they will be tormented five months: and their torment is as the torment of a scorpion, when it has
stricken a man. And in those days men will earnestly desire to die, but death shall flee from them".
In antithesis to natural locusts, these leave "all green things" unharmed, solely attacking men without the Seal of God. Five
months foretold the battle of the Somme from July 1 to November 18, 1916. This was one of the largest and bloodiest military campaigns of
World War I which Jesus called "the first Woe." It was launched as a joint British and French offensive against the German Empire along
the River Somme in northern France; the battle was intended to break the trench warfare stalemate on the Western Front, and to relieve
catastrophic pressure on French forces fighting at the Battle of Verdun. On the very first day the British Army suffered 57,470 casualties,
including 19,240 dead and resulted in more than one million total casualties.
Revelation 9:7-12, "And the shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared to battle; and upon their heads as it were crowns like
gold, and their faces bear a distant resemblance to the human countenance. They had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the
teeth of lions. They had as it were iron breastplates; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots and many horses running to
battle. And they have tails like scorpions, and stings in their tails: their power was to hurt men five months. And they had a king over them, the
angel of the abyss, his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek his name is Apollyon ("destroyer"). One woe is past; and, behold,
there come yet two more woes after these things" — World Wars II and III.
The resemblance of the locust to the horse (especially in the head) has been remarked upon by travelers, and has found expression in the
Italian and German names cavalletta and heupferd, or little horses. The resemblance is more distinct when the horses are
made ready for battle: the hard shell or scales of the locust having the appearance of armour. Joel alludes to this horse-like appearance of
the locust. Another property copied from Joel is their having teeth as the teeth of lions; and it is wonderful how they bite and gnaw all things,
as Pliny says, even the doors of the houses. And the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
Revelation 9:13, "And the Sixth Trumpet angel trumpeted, and I heard one voice from the four horns of the golden altar (of
incense) which is before God." The voice is not from God but from the four horns of the altar, four denotes completion and
the all-sided protective power of the altar, the same altar on which the prayers of all Christian saints were perfected, signaled that they have
been heard.
Revelation 8:1-5, "And when Christ had opened the Seventh Seal, there was silence in
heaven of about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another Angel,
(our Lord Jesus Christ, Revelation 7:2), came and stood before the golden altar, having a golden censer and much incense, (the
revelation of Brother Branham's Message (Revelation 10:7), was given to Him, that He should add it to the prayers of all saints
upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense with the prayers of the saints ascended before God out of the
Angel's hand. And the Angel took the censer and filled it from the fire of the altar and threw it to the earth: and there followed peals of thunder
and voices and lightnings, and an earthquake (Isaiah 29:6; Daniel 12:1-13; Zechariah 14:1-8)—dividing the Mount of Olives and
sinking Los Angeles (Matthew 14:7 Revelation 6:12; 8:5; 11:13, 19; 16:17-19). And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets
prepared themselves to trumpet".
Revelation 9:14-21, "The Sixth Trumpet angel, loosed the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates," which was
the eastern extent of Roman imperial and ecclesiastical power. The first Woe, World War I is past and the four angels standing on the cardinal
points or corners of earth that had been prepared for the hour, and day, and month, and year were loosed, that they should slay the third part
of men." (Armistice Day, later known as Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth and Veterans Day in the United States, is commemorated
every year on November 11 to mark the Armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, at 5:45
a.m., for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the
eleventh month" of 1918. Although according to Thomas R. Gowenlock, an intelligence officer with the US First Division, shelling from both sides
continued for the rest of the day, ending only at nightfall. The armistice initially expired after a period of 36 days and had to be extended
several times. A formal peace agreement was reached only when the Treaty of Versailles was signed the following year. Germany was betrayed.
"And the number of the armies of the cavalry was two hundred million (two myriads of myriads) I heard the number of them. And I
saw in the vision the horses and those who sat on them; the riders had breastplates the colour of fire and hyacinth and of brimstone; and the
heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and brimstone. A third of mankind were killed
by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth, and in
their tails: for their tails are like unto serpents and have heads, and with them they do harm. And the rest of mankind who was not killed by
these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and
of wood, which neither can neither see, nor hear, nor walk; neither did they repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their
fornication, nor of their thefts".
In "The Feast of the Trumpets" Brother Branham said. "The hour that we're living, the ecclesiastical spirits are uniting together for one
big slaughter. Churches are to be closed unless they are in union; it's a boycott under the mark of the beast (Revelation 13). Jesus said, "It
will be so close to the real thing, it would deceive the very Elected if it was possible" (Matthew 24:24). Supernatural demons are unseen to
the eye, but you can see what they're doing. While that group is riding, making themselves ready to stamp out everything that won't agree with
them; another group is being made ready in Revelation 19. The Bible said, "Christ will be on a white horse, and the host of Heaven will be
following Him upon white horses."
While "four angels standing on the four corners of the earth are holding the four winds of the earth so they should not blow
on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree" (Revelation 7:1; II Thessalonians 2:7-8) and have been bound for two thousand years, that
church has bound the Holy Ghost under martyrdom for nearly two thousand years
through the Church Ages; bound not at the river Euphrates but at the door of creeds and dogmas preventing the Holy Spirit from working in the
church. Lucifer and Michael will meet oneanother on the battle ground, again after almost two thousand years.
The Flavian Dynasty of Imperial Rome was founded by Vespasian (AD69–79) who conquered Jerusalem in AD70. Titus (AD79–81) completed the
Coliseum, and Flavius Domitian (AD81–96) built the Arc de triomphe. Brother Branham directs us to Ezekiel 9 and related prophecies
illustrating the depravity and wickedness of Jewry in those days, miscegenation, cruel slaughter of their near Kinsman Redeemer and their
refusal to occupy the Promised Land.
"God cried also in Ezekiel's ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his
destroying weapon in his hand. And, behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his slaughtering
weapon in his hand; and among them a certain Man clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by His side: and they went in, and stood beside
the brazen altar. And the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub on which he had been to the threshold of the temple. And he called
to the Man clothed in linen, which had the writer's inkhorn; And the LORD said to him, Go through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon
the foreheads of the men who sigh and grown for all the abominations being committed in its midst. And to the others He said in my hearing,
Go through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have pity: utterly slay old and young, maids, and little children, and women: but
do not touch any man on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary. Then they began at the elders who were before the temple. And He said
to them, Defile the temple, and fill the courts with the slain: Go out! Thus they went out, and struck down the people in the city".
Here it is again, repeating itself. That ecclesiastical system is returning, smothering out, tramping down everything that is called God. They
have their systems, organizations, and denominations; they have great learning, but without faith, which is a clear understanding of "the
present Truth" . . . what Jesus is doing now. They will have nothing to do with the Bible. They "Say what the church says." Who was it that
killed the Jews? Rome kept on going from AD96 to the present day. Today any blood Israelite living outside the Promised Land is apostate and
without the Covenant.
God is His own interpreter. Christ's Bride is at one with the Word when it unites with you; and you and the Word become one as He
promised.
Revelations 17:8–11, "The beast that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit,
and go into perdition: and they that dwell upon earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the
foundation of the world, when they behold the beast which was and is not, and yet is." One pope dies, another one ascends. "The beast
which was, which is not, which is; which is not, which is." Their triple crowned king was from the bottomless pits, and is joining the
Protestants with him. God is a separator, not a mixer. God said, "Separate Me, and Paul and Barnabas for the work." The
organization wants a good mixer! Separate yourself from the world!
Leviticus 23, "The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of
the month, you shall have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, and a holy convocation. You shall do no servile work therein: you shall
offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD . . ."
The trumpet sounded at Pentecost, which was fifty days. The Jews rejected That. Now the Trumpets are to call them back to the Atonement
they rejected . . . Their eyes were closed so ours could be opened. Throughout this time, the Seals opened and the Trumpets sounded to call
Israel back to Palestine. God had to harden Pharaoh's heart, to run them out of Egypt. Under the New Testament He hardened Stalin and
Mussolini to get them back into the promised land, where the hundred and forty-four thousand will be. Twenty-five hundred years later we find .
. . Israel is a nation . . . we're at the end.
The seven sabbaths type Seven Church Ages throughout which the Jews have been blinded under martyrdom, waiting all this time while the
Pentecostal firstfruit has poured out upon the Church through the reformation under Martin Luther, John Wesley and William Branham and our
Jubilee. Now Israel is awaiting their Seventh Trumpet, to be followed by the Feast of Tabernacles, the Day of Atonement and Jubilee.
Jesus prophesied, "As He sat upon the mount of Olives, and the disciples came to Him privately, saying, Tell us, when these things will be?
and what shall be the sign of Your unseen (Gk.) 'parousia' second coming, and of the end of the world?" (Matthew 24:3).
"Immediately after the Gentile dispensation the sun will be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from
heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and all the tribes of the
earth will mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other"
Matthew 24:29-31).
Brother Branham said, "The only way I teach the New Testament is by the Old Testament shadow . . . Look back in the Old Testament.
When the plagues were falling, Israel was in Egypt, and God was bringing His people out to the promised land. Israel never received one
plague for they were in Goshen. The sun did not dim and there were no plagues of insects or frogs, no storms, no lightning, no dead cattle. It's
a type of the Church going Home just before the Tribulation" and Jacob's trouble (Jeremiah 30:7; 54-0103, Q&A, par. 242-245). When the
Tribulation spikes, the Church goes up. Jesus said, "When these things begin to come to pass, lift up your head, your redemption is nigh"
(Luke 21:28).
Revelation 1:18–20, "I John . . . was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great Voice, as of a
trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches which are
in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. And
I turned to see the Voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; and in the midst of the seven candlesticks
one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and His hair were
white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire; and His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and His
voice as the sound of many waters. And He had in His right hand seven stars: and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and His
countenance was as the sun shines in its strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying
unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the
keys of hell and of death. Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter. The mystery
of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches:
and the seven candlesticks which you saw are the seven churches." This stratospheric Cloud 26 miles high and 30 miles across was
photographed from many locations on February 28, 1963 and studied worldwide by astronomers.
The second Woe, World War II, continued in two stages from Revelation 9:14-20 to the end of the second stage, Revelation 10:1–11:13. As
Christ's end-time Bride YOU were given a reed like a rod: and the Angel Christ stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the
altar, and they who worship therein (Ezekiel 40:1; Zechariah 2:1). But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it
not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. And I will give power unto my two
witnesses, and they shall prophesy one thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the
two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their
enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to heaven, that it rain not in the days of their
prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. And when they
shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome and kill
them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was
crucified. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three and a half days, and shall not suffer
their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to
another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after three and a half days the Spirit of life from God will
enter into them, and they will stand upon their feet; and great fear will fall on those who see them. And a great voice from heaven will say,
Come up hither. And they will ascend to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies behold them".
II Thessalonians 2:7-8, "For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets will let, until he is taken out of the
way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness
of His unseen (Gk.) 'parousia' second coming".
Revelation 10:1–11, "I saw another mighty Angel (Jesus Christ) come down from heaven,
clothed with a cloud: and the rainbow was upon His head, and His face was as it were the sun, and His feet as pillars of fire: and He had in His
left hand a little book open: and He set His right foot upon the sea, and His left foot on the earth, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion
roars: and when He had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the Seven Thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write:
and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. And the Angel
which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up His hand to heaven, and swore by Him that lives forever and ever, Who created
heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that
there should be (Gk.) 'chronos' time no longer: but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to
sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to His servants the prophets. And the Voice which I heard from heaven spoke
to me again, and said, Take the little book which is open in the hand of the Angel which stands upon the sea (Rome) and upon the
earth (USA)".
Revelation 10:1 – 11:13 is a parenthesis because the second Woe of World War II proceeds from the Sixth Trumpet of Revelation 9:13
beyond the "great earthquake" of the Sixth Seal (Revelation 8:12-17), terminating the Gentile dispensation and the second Woe of
World War II at the sound of the Seventh Trumpet (Revelation 11:13–15) with no peace treaty. "And behold, the third Woe of World War III
comes quickly. (There has to be a resurrection and translation of Christ's end-time Bride before we become confused with Israel and
Daniel's Seventieth Week). And the Seventh Trumpet angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this
world have become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever. And the twenty-four elders, who sat before
God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, saying, We give you thanks, O Lord God Almighty, Who is, and was and is to
come; because You have taken Your great power, and reigned. And the nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead,
that they should be judged, and that You should give reward to Your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear Your Name,
small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His
temple the Ark of His testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail".
Israel's chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should release the murderer Barabbas and crucify their King and near
Kinsman Redeemer, and the people answered "His blood be upon us and on our children" (Matthew 27:15-26). The multitude emulate
Barabbas to the present day while denominational apostates reject Christ's second exodus (Revelation 18:1 and 4) and the ministry of Brother
Branham who foreran Christ's second Coming sixty three years ago (Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 17:11; Revelation 10:7). Lest we find ourselves in
the great tribulation and under the Seven Vials with Jewry we must recognize Christ's second coming. nl1403.htm
