Iran Undermines US Economic Warfare in West Asia
October 1, 2026 —
Efforts aimed at bringing down the government in Tehran has been outmaneuvered through the controls exerted over the Strait of Hormuz and
the work of the Yemen resistance in Bab al-Mandeb waterway. Since January 2026 the United States administration of President Donald
Trump has been attempting to crash the economy of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
There was the manipulation of the currency within the country by the Treasury Department while counter-revolutionary elements engaged in
violent acts designed to prompt an uprising throughout the country. These events proceeded the unprovoked war started by Israel and
the US on February 28 when an elementary school was bombed in Minab killing school children and staff totaling approximately 175 people.
Nonetheless, the Iranian military struck back severely damaging and incapacitating Pentagon military bases throughout the region as
well as strikes deep inside the Israeli state.
The Strait of Hormuz has been essential in the defense of the Iranian state. Iran has controlled traffic in the area blocking the passage of goods
which are indispensable to the world economic system. Prices for energy resources, food and agricultural products have skyrocketed since March.
The administration in the US has downplayed the escalation in prices saying that Trump will end the war after the midterm . . .
Although the US wants to bring down the Iranian economy, it has been able to survive under the existing circumstances. Consequently,
the tactics utilized by the White House have backfired onto the working and impoverished people of the US . . .
The reality of the economic situation in the US has placed the Trump administration in a precarious place. Opinion polls have shown that the
majority of people are opposed to the war against Iran. In addition, the majority of voters in the US on the eve of the midterm
elections are showing strong disapproval of the way the administration is handling the national economy which has been marred by a
failed tariffs policy and the large-scale transferral of wealth from working people to the ruling class. The lessons of the
imperialist wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran have proven that the long-term impact on the people of the US has been devastating.
Until there is a fundamental shift in domestic and foreign policy, these military interventions will continue to the detriment of working and
oppressed peoples of the US and indeed the world. Full story: globalresearch.ca
Trump Just Abandoned Netanyahu, and Israel Has No Plan B
September 30, 2026 — Col. Douglas Macgregor examines the
growing tensions between Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the strategic questions surrounding Israel's future
position in the region. The discussion focuses on the claim that Trump has shifted his approach toward Netanyahu and what such a change
could mean for US–Israel relations, Israeli security, and the wider Middle East.
The analysis explores Israel's military and diplomatic options, the role of the United States, and the potential challenges facing Netanyahu as
regional alliances and strategic priorities continue to evolve. It also considers how changes in Washington's policy could affect Israel's ability to
respond to emerging threats and manage its relationships with other regional powers.
What would a major shift in US support mean for Israel? What options could remain available to Netanyahu? And how might these
developments influence the broader balance of power in the Middle East? Watch the full video for Col. Macgregor's analysis of Trump,
Netanyahu, Israel, US foreign policy, regional security, and the latest geopolitical developments. Full story: youtube.com
War is coming – No Swiss Neutrality 'Prepare your Kids to Defend Europe'
September 29, 2026 — It is a brainwashing war, and NATO is
winning . . . controlling all of Europe . . . intricately guided by NATO. . . . Brainwashed by Swiss Government war propaganda . . . "The
Three Musketeers," one for all, and all for one and (in) famous Article 5 of the NATO statutes no longer applies . . . President Trump has
made it amply clear, that the US would no longer intervene in Europe; that the European NATO states are responsible for their own defense,
they had to pay up, spending by 2035, some 5% of their GDP on their own military budget . . . these military budget funds will flow mostly into
the US military industrial complex, often for over-priced military equipment . . . and Patriot Defense systems (ineffective against modern war
fare missiles).
NATO and its wars are killing, i.e., population reduction by any means (key part of the UN Agenda 2030), and by doing so, making the rich
richer, those Zionists who control the banks, Wall Street, the City of London, and of course, the military industrial complex worldwide, are
all channeling billions into the same billionaires pockets, as the rest of the world predominantly Europe for now, and to some extent the US, is
getting poorer and every day poorer . . . Putin did not "invade Ukraine." There is a long history going back to way before 2014 (the
US-EU-instigated Maidan Coup in Kiev) of NATO provocation and outrageous Ukraine Nazi killings of Russian speaking populations, mainly in the
Eastern Donbas regions of Ukraine (the Nazi Azov Battalions, who were fighting with Hitler against Russia and are still alive). Until the Russian
intervention in February 2022, more than 14,000 civilians, 70% women and children, were assassinated in the Donbas areas. According to Jens
Stoltenberg, the former NATO Secretary General, the current Ukraine conflict started already in 2014, or before. His words . . . Full story:

Viganò: Leo XIV Promotes 'Exact Opposite of the Magisterium'
September 28, 2026 — Archbishop
Viganò says Pope Leo XIV's praise of the Enlightenment, religious liberty, and the UN's human rights declaration in France contradicts previous
popes, calling it the exact opposite of the Magisterium. Leo also joined an interreligious gathering, signing a commitment to dialogue and
fraternity, contrasting with traditional teaching that peace comes through conversion and the sovereignty of Christ.
Meanwhile, 200 pilgrims, including families and children, were denied entry to the Martyrs' Shrine in Ontario by the Archdiocese of Toronto and
celebrated Mass in a nearby field. LifeSiteNews is also placing billboards in New York City for St. Michael's feast day proclaiming Christ is King.

Comment: Arch Bishop Vignanò is correct in that Pope Leo is denying the Magisterium. Pope Leo is correct in that he has praised the
Enlightenment, religious liberty, and the UN's human rights declaration in France contradicts previous popes, calling it the exact opposite of the
Magisterium. In order for our Lord Jesus Christ to fulfill Revelation 13:15-18 the Pope must align Roman Dogma with historical Protestant faith.
However since Christ opened and revealed the Seven Seals, the once Protestant Churches are far behind what St. Peter called "the PRESENT
Truth" (II Peter 1:12).
Germany is following Israel by forcing all 18-Year Old Men to take Mandatory Medical Exams
September 27, 2026 — A spokesperson for the Defence Ministry

New Fascist & Nazi Party's running in Israel Elections
25 September, 2026 — Vladimir Jabotinsky's Revisionist
Zionist Party was linked to Benito Mussolini and the Betar operated in Rome under the auspices of the Duce. After the death of its
founder, the party negotiated with Adolf Eichmann until the last days of the Third Reich. His representative, Rezső Kasztner, betrayed the
Hungarian Zionist bourgeoisie, handing them over to be deported and dividing up their property among himself and others. In 1948, in the midst
of the Arab-Israeli War, the revisionist Zionists staged a coup d'état, planning to assassinate David Ben-Gurion . . .
Today, in the wake of the genocide in Gaza, the situation is becoming clearer: two new political parties plan to represent fascism and Nazism in
the Knesset in the October 27 elections . . . Moshe Feiglin is the only Jewish leader to express admiration for Adolf Hitler. In 1995, he said, in
an interview with Haaretz: "Hitler was an unrivalled military genius. Nazism took Germany from a low level to a fantastic physical and
ideological level. Ragged young people were transformed into a clean and orderly category of society and Germany had an exemplary regime, an
adequate justice system and public order. Hitler loved good music. He could paint. The Nazis were not a bunch of thugs. They simply used thugs
and homosexuals." (When Jewry ruled Germany after WWI .Ed). And further: "There is no doubt that Judaism is racist in some way. And when
they claimed, at the United Nations, that Zionism is racist, I didn't find much reason to protest . . . Full story: voltairenet.org
How a Secret Israeli Cult Seized Control of America
September 24, 2026 —
There is a secretive extremist network operating in more than 100 countries, posing as a religious charity while fueling violence, racism
and political capture at the highest levels. In this explosive investigation, CJ Werleman pulls back the curtain on Chabad-Lubavitch—the cult
that drives Israel, (Netanyahu and Trump).
This is not a story about Judaism. It's a story about how a specific messianic ideology captured real political power—from the corridors of
Washington to the battlefields of Gaza—and why the world is now pushing back. (We have recorded twenty-six false Jewish false Messiahs, none passed the test for a prophet). Full story: youtube.com
Cocaine Addict Zelensky tells the World he has a 'Cure for Russian Disease'
September 25, 2026 — Russia is not the
disease. It is the Western imperialist system infected with Russophobia. The Ukrainian puppet leader's behavior at the United Nations this
week shows an alarming degeneracy. The degeneracy is not just about Vladimir Zelensky the individual. It is about the whole Western
warmongering system and its lying media that promote the likes of Zelensky for their nefarious ends. This character's corruption is becoming too
obvious to conceal, as is the corrupt system that casts him.
It is well known–outside the Western media bubble, that is–that Zelensky is on drugs. His substance of choice is cocaine, which he snorts up
his nose in copious amounts. We know this from many sources, including his former press secretary, Yulia Mendel. In an interview with
American journalist Tucker Carlson earlier this year, Mendel recounted how her boss had to habitually take 15 minutes in the bathroom before
press conferences and then emerge high as a kite in effervescent performance mode. (See our editorial last week on why, notably, Mendel was
banned from speaking at the European Parliament.) . . . Full story: strategic-culture.su
Comment: Clearly the Ukrainian people's only hope lies in a Russian military victory. Unfortunately, Ukrainian society is currently
governed by a corrupt elite that does not prioritize the country's own interests (globalresearch.ca).
Zechariah Chapter Fourteen Part II
Ezekiel saw "The likeness of the glory of the Lord" that appeared to Israel's High Priest in the Holy of Holies in a cloud
of incense above and between the cherubim once a year on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) depart the Holy of Holies before God's
servant Nebuchadnezzar and Edom razed His Temple, terminating Judah's monarchy and commencing "the times of the Gentiles"
(Leviticus 16:2-3; Ezekiel 1:28; 10:22). It has since tabernacled in our Jesus Christ and now dwells in His mystic Body the Church. For God
said "I will enlarge Japheth, and he will dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant" (Genesis 9:27; Acts 2:3; Matthew
3:16-17; Zechariah 6:12). Israel will see the Shekinah no more 'til they "anoint the Most Holy Place" Their glorified King and His Queen,
crowning Him King of kings and Lord of lords joyfully crying "Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord" when they see the sign
of the Coming of the Son of man with His mighty armies to destroy them who have been destroying the earth (Matthew 23:39; Zechariah 12:10;
Revelation 1:7; 11:13, 18-19; 19:14-15; Acts 1:6; An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 41).
When Judah emulated Israel and worshipped the pagan Babylonian trinity of gods it rejected the Shekinah of God's Presence which never
returned to the Holy of Holies "made with hands" (Ezekiel 8 and 10). Satan will take residence in Israel's third temple incarnate in
the Pope when as president of one world government he is king of kings and "sits as God, showing himself that he is God" (Isaiah
14:12-15;Daniel 11:45; II Thessalonians 2:4) forcing trinitarianism" the mark of the beast" will be enforced on pain of death
(Revelation 13:15-18; Matthew 24:21-22). "The great tribulation" will commence at the close of the Gentile dispensation with "the
time of Jacob's trouble." In the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week Rome will abrogate her covenant with the Jewish banksters "causing
the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, with the overspreading of abominations unto the consummation which is determined and shall be poured
out upon the desolate" (Daniel 9:27; Revelation 19:19-21), "but Israel (all 144,000) shall be saved out of it" (Jeremiah 30:1-24).
After the martyrdom and resurrection of Israel's two witnesses "Michael will commence His reign . . . and every Israelite written in the
Lamb's Book of Life will be delivered" (Daniel 10:21; 12:1; Zechariah 14:3, 9). This divine judgment will end spiritually when the nation of
144,000 elect Israelites are born-again in one day and Rome will rule to the consummation (Daniel 2:45; 9:27).
After Jesus' baptism the Shekinah made His abode in the Temple of His Body wherein we are pillars. Rejected by
the priestly authorities of the second Temple, He declared "It is written: My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it
a den of thieves." And He rebuked the Scribes and Pharisees: "Your house is left to you forsaken and desolate." Hereafter
"this den of thieves" is no longer "My Father's House" but "the Jews' house, for I assure you, you will not see Me (the
Shekinah (Ezekiel 43:1-12; Revelation 7:2) henceforth until you say, Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord. And Jesus went
out, and departed from the temple" (Matthew 21:13; 23:38 – 24:1).
Following His crucifixion the Lord ceased dealing with the Israel nation and turned to call "a people for His Name" a Bride from those of
Adam's race who would receive Him, and sent His servant Titus to raze the second temple and destroy the city of Jerusalem. For two thousand
years, the Israelites have been stateless, their name and land stolen by wandering self-styled Jews of Cain's race which has no inheritance in
this world or hope in the world that is to come (Genesis 4:12). "But once the last elect Gentile has entered the place of God's rest, He will
stretch out His hand a second time to recover the remnant of His (Semitic) people from Assyria, from Lower and Upper Egypt, and from
Iran, and from Iraq, and from Syria, and from the Islands of the Mediterranean (NOT non-Semites) from Russia, the Ukraine, Germany,
London, Paris or New York. Thus the present inhabitants of modern Israel are NOT "the remnant of His people" born of Abraham, Isaac
and Israel, but impersonators who style themselves Israelis)" (Isaiah 11:10-11). When Messiah returns to Israel He will find non-Semitic
Jews and apostate Israelites (Luke 18:7-8) and those having forsaken Moses and the Prophets for the hubris of the Babylonian Talmud are resolved to build another Jews' house "made with hands".
Isaiah called Judea a second Sodom and Gomorrah after the nature of two of the five Serpent's seed cities God destroyed. Having forsaken
God, desolate and overrun by the Serpent's seed of Cain's lineage, Judah and Jerusalem will be ruled by non-Semitic 'Jews' until the
consummation and regarded as Sodom and Egypt (Isaiah 1:10, Daniel 9:27, Luke 21:24 and Revelation 11:1-2, 8). Malachi 1:4-5
prophesied of these Serpent's seed Edomite Jews assimilated with Judah, "If Edom says, "We are shattered, but we will rebuild the ruins;"
thus saith the Lord of hosts: "They shall build, but I will throw down till they are called, The Land of Wickedness, and the people
against whom the Lord has indignation forever. O Israel, lift your eyes to see what God is doing all around the world, then you will say, Truly
the Lord's great power is magnified beyond the border of Israel." Edom has rebuilt the modern Israel State, but Zechariah 14:1-4 says it
will be thrown down and they will depart enabling genuine blood Israelites to return to the land of their Covenant for redemption.
Jesus prophesied that in the days of His 'parousia' Coming the whole world will be in a Sodom condition, yet there will be a remnant (Luke
17:28-30). Brother Branham said the denominational churches are in Sodom: my Message is to call out the wise and foolish virgin as the
Message of Israel's prophets will call out the remnant 144,000 (Romans 9:27-33).
As it was in the earthquake when Uzziah ruled Judah, the Lord found "a sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, descendants of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly: having forsaken the Lord they have despised the Holy One of Israel, and are utterly estranged . . . Your country is
devastated; your cities have been burned with fire: in your very presence the Serpent's seed (Heb.) 'Zuwr' devour your farmland; it is a
devastation overthrown by Serpent's seed. The daughter of Zion (Christ's Bride) is left behind like a watchman's shanty in a vineyard when the
harvest time is over, like a shack in a cucumber patch, or a city preserved from the desolation that surrounds it. Had the Lord of hosts not
stepped in to save a very small remnant, Israel would have been wiped out like Sodom and Gomorrah. Hear the Word of the Lord, you rulers of
Sodom (Jerusalem); listen to the teaching of our God you nation of Gomorrah (Israel)" (Isaiah 1:4, 7-10; Amos 1:1; Zechariah 14:5;
Matthew 24:22).
The same prophet rebukes Israel for her external religion of works and emotive ritual without faith after the translation of Christ's Bride at the
commencement of Daniel's Seventieth Week. Isaiah 66:1-4: "Thus says the Lord: The heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool:
what manner of house would you build for Me, and where would be the place of My rest? For My hand has made everything, and all these things
are Mine, says the Lord. But I will look favourably upon the man who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at My Word." The
heavens could not contain Him yet God's fullness dwelt bodily in Jesus Messiah. And He will dwell in your heart by the baptism with the Holy
Ghost, which is the new birth, and every act of external, ceremonial worship will be an offence. The Israelites found it difficult to escape the
concept of a local god like the heathen divinities that could be circumscribed by space. Stephen (Acts 7:48-49) and Paul (Acts 17:24-34)
appealed to our Scripture in their protests against this vain imagination.
Since the sacrifice of our kinsman Redeemer is all-sufficient (Hebrews 10:12-13): "He who slaughters an ox is like one who offers a
human sacrifice; he who sacrifices a lamb, is as if he cut off a dog's neck; he who offers an unbloody offering (for instance, grain), is as if he
offered swine's blood; he who burns incense, as if he blessed an idol." The ritual of synagogue and church are comparable to forbidden
offerings; any effort by Israel to revive animal sacrifices and oblations which had been appointed by the Law is here declared on a par with the
cruel and abominable practices of the heathen, who offered human sacrifices that the Hebrews were taught to hold in abomination.
"As they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations, (in retribution) I also will choose their delusions (II
Thessalonians 2:11), and what they dread I will bring upon them; because when I called, no one answered; and when I spoke, they did not
listen: but they did what was evil in My eyes, and chose what was displeasing to Me."
In Isaiah 66:5-9 we see the division between the 144,000 elect Israelites and reprobate Jews who scoff at them. "Hear the Word
of the Lord, you who tremble at His Word; Your (unbelieving) brethren who hate you, and excommunicate you for My Name's sake, said
(mockingly), "Let the Lord show Himself glorious (by manifesting Himself in your behalf): that we may see your joy" as in Isaiah 5:19;
28:15; 57:4; Matthew 27:42-43. But it is the scoffers and apostate nations that will be put to shame as we see in verse 6: "What is this
uproar from the city! A voice from His Temple (Christ and His Bride (Zechariah 3:8-9; 6:12-13))! It is the voice of the Lord taking
vengeance upon His enemies (the scoffers within the city)" and baptizing His elect with the Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 43:1-12; Zechariah 12:2-4
14:2-3, 19-21; Revelation 11:13).
Verse 7, "Before she travailed, (under the tribulation of the Seventh Trumpet judgment, Zion brought forth; before
her pain (of martyrdom) came, she was delivered of a Man child, (the Israel nation, all 144,000)." In the compound this verse
must also apply to Jesus Messiah whose offspring we are (Isaiah 9:5) and who is called "God's Servant" and "Israel" in Isaiah
49, but in Isaiah 66:8-9 it applies to the land and His servant nation.
Revelation 12:1-5, "And there appeared a great symbol in heaven; a woman clothed with the Sun, and the Moon under her
feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars: (This woman is Zion/Spiritual Israel with the Law under her feet having crossed into the S_O_N-
Light she is crowned with the doctrine of the twelve original apostles). And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be
delivered. And there appeared another symbol in heaven; and behold a great red dragon (Satan in Imperial Rome), having seven heads (deified
emperors) and ten horns (the nations into which Rome subsequently divided), and seven crowns upon his heads (Imperial emperors). And his
tail (Talmudic deception (Isaiah 9:15)) drew the third part of the stars of heaven (Shem's deceived seed, natural Israel), and cast them
to the Earth (at the crucifixion, causing their names to be blotted from the Book of Life (Psalm 69:28)): and the dragon stood before
the woman who was ready to bear, that he might devour her child as soon as it was born (when Roman Procurator, Judah's Edomite king Herod
sought to assassinate the rival to his royal house (Matthew 2)). And she brought forth a Man child (Jesus Messiah), who was
to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and to His throne (from the Mount of Olives)" (Acts 1:9).
That was the first Coming of the "Man child" before the tribulation upon Christ's Church (and the 144,000 elect Israelites)
from the opening of the First Seal in Revelation 6:1 to Revelation 19:21, the consummation when the enemies of God and man are slain thus
binding Satan until the general resurrection.
Verse 8 speaks of Israel's recognition of His unseen second or parousia Coming: "Who ever heard of such a thing? Who ever
saw its like? Shall a land be brought forth in one day? Shall a nation be born in one moment? For as soon as Zion travailed
(in the tribulation), she gave new birth to her children" (144,000 elect Israelites; Revelation 14:1-5, 12 – 15:4; 19:1-8).
Zechariah 3:8-10, "Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you: these are a
symbol (Isaiah 8:18): for, behold, I will bring forth My Servant the BRANCH (speaking of Christ's second or (Gk.) parousia
Coming to Israel). For behold the Stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one Stone (see the image) will be seven eyes: (so
when Israel catch the revelation of Messiah, they will recognize His Gentile Wife (Zechariah 6:12): I will engrave its inscription, (revealed in the revelation of the Seven Seals by the mystery of the Seven unwritten Thunders), says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove
the iniquity of that land in one day (Isaiah 66:8; Daniel 9:24c). In that day, says the Lord of hosts, you shall call every man his
neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree," for as brothers in the Spirit you will be fit to enter the millennium.
Brother Branham places this Scripture in the second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week, for he says, "Then will He return, leaving His
Bride in "His Father's house," while he makes Himself known to His brethren. At this very time, the antichrist covenant the Jews
have made with Rome will be broken. Rome and her allies then send their troops (NATO) to destroy all the God-fearing, Word-abiding
Jews Israelites. But as they come against the city to destroy it, there will appear in the heavens the sign of the Coming
of the Son of Man with His mighty armies (Matthew 24:3b, 30; Revelation 1:18; 19:11-16; Isaiah 11:1-4; Jeremiah 33:14-17) to
destroy them who have been destroying the earth (Revelation 11:18-19). With the enemy repulsed (Revelation 11:13; 12:16-17), Jesus then
comes and presents Himself to the 144,000. Having seen His mighty acts of salvation, they have come to know His power. But also seeing His
wounds and knowing that they had rejected Him even to that moment, causes them to cry out in the agony of terror and fear, even as did their
brethren of old when they stood before Joseph, being sore afraid that they would be killed. But as Joseph said, "Don't be angry with
yourselves. It is all right. God was in it all. He did it to preserve life" (Zechariah 13). Even so will Jesus speak peace and love to them"
(ibid, p. 40:2).
The Bible was sealed from the foundation of the world until after the Church Ages (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:4; 4:1 –
6:1) when Christ claimed the Book of Redemption, opened the Seals and revealed their mystery to His angel William Branham, who signified it
to His servant John during two years imprisonment on the Island of Patmos (Revelation 1:1). John was caught up in the Spirit, and in a
series of visions he saw and heard Brother Branham expound the Seven Seals in 1963 as Christ revealed them to him and he wrote the Book of
Revelation between AD95 and 96 recording the visions in Old Testament symbols. As Brother Branham was the angel to the Seventh Church Age
(Revelation 10:7) and all Seven Church Ages were over, his revelation is given exclusively to Christ's end-time Bride. Consequently no
matter how thoroughly you testify to these things only Christ's end-time Bride will receive the faith. And since you are Christ's
end-time Bride, wherever John refers to himself you should replace his name with your own.
Revelation 19:1-16, "After these things (Israel's tribulation under her Seventh Trumpet judgment, Satan's casting down to earth, the
Seventh Vial poured into the air upon earth's inhabitants, the calling-out and martyrdom of 144,000 elect Israelites fulfilling the sixth purpose
of Gabriel's visit to Daniel and ultimately the third Woe of Armageddon (Daniel 9:24)). I . . . (your name here) . . . heard the voice of a
great throng in heaven, crying, Hallelujah!"
This Hebrew exclamation, "Hallelujah," uttered by God's servants, Israel's elect (Revelation 18:24), is found first in Psalm 106 on the
destruction of the ungodly. Isaiah 40:1-5: "Comfort, take comfort My people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and tell her that
her warfare is ended, her iniquity is pardoned (for Jesus Messiah, the antitypical Israel, was the propitiation for all of her
sins (Romans 5:15-17): she has received from the Lord's hand double for her sins. The twofold captivity by Assyria and Rome will
terminate in the second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week; then "her iniquity will be pardoned" (Daniel 9:24), "her warfare ended,
and her foe destroyed" (Daniel 9:27). A voice cries: Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness, make straight in the
desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, every mountain and hill be made low: the crooked turns straightened, and the rough
made a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together (Zechariah 14:3-5; Matthew 24:30;
Revelation 1:7): for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it." Under inspiration Matthew 3:1 varied the connection to bring out another
sense, but Isaiah was referring to the coming restoration of Israel and the millennium. The clause, "in the wilderness" alludes to
Israel's passage from Egypt to Canaan led by the Angel of the Lord (Psalms 68:7), and the Angel of the Lord leads His elect of all nations
through the moral wilderness to the millennium where the Kingdom is restored to Israel.
The glory of God is His Family, principally Jesus Christ and His Bride, for through the invisible marriage union the two are One. This will be
the completion of Brother Branham's 'tent vision' (Genesis 9:27). This vision is a preview of our return for the millennium when the "The
glory of the Lord shall be revealed," the 144,000 will "anoint the most holy place" (Daniel 9:24), and all (glorified)
flesh shall see it together" (Isaiah 40:5).
"The salvation, and the glory, and the power of our God: for true and just are His judgments: for He judged the great (Judaeo-Roman
Catholic) harlot, that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and He avenged the blood of His servants at her hand. And a second time
they said, Hallelujah. And her smoke ascends into the ages of the ages. And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and
worshipped God who sits on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah." The last of the seven major continuous visions God showed Brother
Branham in 1933 has come to pass: God's servant, Judaeo-Communist Russia, has avenged "the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all
that were slain upon the Earth" by blasting Vatican City State and her United States image from the face of the Earth (Revelation 17:16;
18:8-20, 24; 19:3; ibid. p. 322:3).
Revelation 19:5-16, "And a voice (that of the seventh angel, William Branham) came forth from the
throne saying, Give praise to our God, all His servants, and those that fear Him, the small and the great. And I heard as the voice of a great
throng and as a voice of many waters (Christ's wife of all Seven Church Ages returning with Her Husband), and as a voice of strong thunders (all
seven), saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord God Almighty has assumed the Kingdom. (The way for His advent to reign and restore the Kingdom to
Israel in a thousand years of peace is cleared by the overthrow of Rome and carnal Christendom). Let us be glad and exult, we will give the
glory to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb has come to pass, and His wife made herself ready. And to her was given that she should array
herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints."
"And he said to . . . (your name) . . . Write, Blessed are they who are called unto the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he said:
These are the true Words of God. And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he said to me, Take heed, do it not: I am your fellow servant
and of your brethren who have the witness of Jesus: worship God: for the witness of Jesus is the Spirit of the prophecy (in each of the saints)."
"And I saw the heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He who sat upon him is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges
and wars. His eyes were a flame of fire, and on His head many crowns (as King of kings His crown comprises the diadems of all the
kingdoms of Earth), and He has a Name written, that no man knew, but Himself, and He is clothed in a vesture dipped in the)blood (of
His enemies (Isaiah 63:1-6): and His Name is called The Word of God (Creator and Sustainer of the world (Isaiah 54:5; John 1:1-14;
Colossians 1:16-19). And the armies in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure. And out of His mouth
goes forth a sharp sword (the Word of God Isaiah 11:4; II Thessalonians 2:8), that with it He should smite the nations: (whereas
He would have shepherded them with a pastoral rod and the golden scepter of His love) now He and no other will shepherd them (in a
punitive sense and dash them in pieces, as refractory rebels) with an iron rod, and He treads the winepress of the wine of the anger of the
wrath (and omnipotent resources) of Almighty God. And He has on His vesture and on His thigh a Name written, KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS".
The Israelites will all be born-again in one day in the second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week when they recognize Jesus is Messiah, and
crown Him King of kings and Lord of lords in their hearts by revelation of His parousia (Revelation 1:7; see Newsletter 787).
Isaiah 54 compares Jerusalem or Zion as representative of the whole nation Israel put away and repudiated like an unfaithful wife; now forgiven
and taken home again (Isaiah 62:1-5). The converted Gentiles are represented as a new progeny of the long-forsaken but now restored wife
Jerusalem (Isaiah 49:13-23). Natural Israel could not bear during the Gentile dispensation because the New Testament did away with the old
theocracy and her former connection with her divine Husband. Trodden down in bondage under the Law she was barren and could not bear
Spiritual children. Unbeknownst to the deceived woman, "Your Maker is your Husband; the Lord of hosts is His Name; and He shall be called
your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth (JESUS means Jehovah-Saviour, for He will save His people from their sins"
Isaiah 54:5; Matthew 1:21).
Isaiah 54:1 is Galatians 4:27: After the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week natural Zion/Israel will be told: "Sing, O barren one, who did not
bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who have not been in travail with child: for more are the children of the (once)
desolate (Gentiles, who before the New Testament were without the promise, and destitute of God as their Husband), than the children of
(natural Israel) the married wife, (numerous as were the children under the legal Covenant, those of the Gospel and grace are now vastly more
numerous), says the Lord" (Isaiah 49; nl412; nl413).
Paraphrasing Isaiah 66:9 the Lord asks a rhetorical question expressing the same thought in two different ways meaning: "Shall I who
have begun, not finish My work of restoring Zion/Israel"? Since the restoration of Israel was His long-laid plan He will neither delay nor
abort the nation's rebirth and the glorious restoration of the Kingdom to Israel.
Verses 10-13: Her friends who had before mourned over her are now justly called upon to rejoice with and participate in her happiness:
"delight in Jerusalem; as an infant, drink deep from the breasts of her consolations the abundance of her glory." The joy to which the
prophet summons her friends is well-founded since the Lord Himself says "I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the
Gentiles like a flowing stream."
Verse 12: "The glory (or riches) of the Gentiles," as Paul explains in Romans 11:11-12, 32, is new birth in Jesus Messiah, and
"Christ in you is the hope of glory" tabernacling God in New Jerusalem. Through Israel's apostasy God rejected the Covenant
nation until Daniel's Seventieth Week but not individual Israelites, and brought the riches of eternal Life to us Gentiles to provoke elect
Israelites to jealousy and new birth. Gentile apostasy will soon cause the glory and riches of new birth in Jesus Messiah to pass to the
Covenant nation, all 144,000 (Isaiah 61:6-7).
"As a man whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you (with a mother's love, strong enough to raise up a strong man bowed down by
misfortune. Israel is portrayed as a man returned from a foreign country, escaped from bondage, full of sad recollections, which are wholly
obliterated in the maternal arms of divine love) in Jerusalem" the one place God will meet with the people of the Old Covenant
(Deuteronomy 16:2, 5-6).
Joel 2:32: "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever (i.e. Israel's elect) calls on the Name of the Lord will be delivered: as the
Christians, in response to our Lord's warning, retired to Pella just before Jerusalem's destruction (Matthew 24:16). The Saviour first appeared
"in Zion and Jerusalem" where He will appear "again the second time (as Deliverer) to recover the remnant of Israel" (Isaiah
11:11) although they will not recognize the sign of Zechariah 14:4-5 until after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week. In Romans 10:13 Paul
applied this verse to Jesus, proving that Jesus of the New Testament is Jehovah of the Old: Jesus means 'Jehovah-Saviour.' So when the elect
Israelites call upon God in His divine attributes as Messiah, Saviour and Kinsman Redeemer, and at this time God will only be dealing
with the 144,000, they will be delivered (Isaiah 44:6; 45:21-22; 48:17; Matthew 1:21) for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem will be escape, as
the Lord has said, and those born-again will be the remnant whom the Lord has called".
Isaiah 66:14: "When you see this (demonstration of the power of God on His friends and on His foes in the time of Israel's latter rain), your
heart will rejoice; your bones will feel themselves excited by a fresh invigoration of life, and flourish like green grass. And the entire world will
recognize the hand of God's favour is with His (144,000) servants, and His indignation is against His enemies" (Zechariah 12; 13; 14). The
salvation of God's people precedes the destruction of His enemies.
Verses 15-18 describe God's judgment upon the wicked. "For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to
render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by His sword the Lord will plead with all flesh and the slain of the
Lord shall be many (Ezekiel 38:21-23: Joel 3:2; Zechariah 14:3-5). Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens
as a crowd of devotees surrounding or universally following a hierophant in their midst (such as the Pope performing rites he exhibits for their
imitation as in the vain repetitions of celebrating the Judaeo-Roman Mass) who eat swine's flesh, vermin, and mice, shall come to an end
together, says the Lord."
At this time Satan will be cast down to Earth and incarnate Rome's pope (Isaiah 65:3-4; II Thessalonians 2:9-12; Revelation 17:11), forcing his
dogma once he breaks his covenant with the Jewish bankers (Daniel 9:27; 7:23-25; Revelation 13:4-8; 15-18). "I know the works and
thoughts of these (apostates): I will gather all nations and tongues against Jerusalem, and they shall come and see My glory.
Verse 19: "I will set a sign or symbol in Israel to
attract the dispersed (Isaiah 11:12; 62:10-12). A (Heb.) 'nec' standard, ensign, signal, or something lifted up as a rallying point
(Strong's #5251). The REVELATION of the sign or symbol will be the glory of God. Matthew 24:30, "then sign of the Son of
man shall appear in heaven: and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory." Men will seek "the sign of Your (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming" When will these things be
the disciples enquired in Matthew 24:3. The Shekinah or Pillar of Cloud over the Mount of Olives, NOT the glorified Jesus. Brother Branham
called this "the REVELATION story" and as such it will not be UNDERSTOOD until after the martyrdom and resurrection of their two
prophets after the midst of Daniel's Seventieth Week. Then the elect Israelites will recognize that Jesus whom their forefathers murdered is
their Messiah, repent and receive Him as Lord (ibid, p. 36–41;
Zechariah 12:9-14). Worldwide righteous non-elect souls will recognize Scripture has been fulfilled, and their stand will mean martyrdom. Those
who return to Earth with the glorified Jesus after the consummation will "tread down the (atomic) ashes of the wicked" (Malachi 4:1-33;
II Thessalonians 1:6-10). The non-elect will be dead and all evidence of human existence erased by fire. Satan and his demons cannot harm or
influence the glorified saints and his subjects will be bound a thousand years until they are raised at the general resurrection (Revelation
19:20–22:3, 5-15).
Isaiah 11:1-5 prophesied Christ's first Coming to pay sin's price and redeem His Church was a physical (Gk.) 'erchomai' Coming. Verses
10-16 cover the Messianic Age of redemption and completion. "Throughout the Messianic Age of redemption the root of Jesse (Jesus the
BRANCH) shall stand for an ensign for us Gentiles; (the knowledge of His righteousness will be observable to all, and mightily draw
the attention of all to Himself (Acts 4:13; Romans 15:12)); to it shall the Gentiles seek: and the place of His rest shall be glorious. The
place of His rest is His Body, the Church, where He reveals the fullness of His might and glory (Psalm 45:13-14; Isaiah 66:1-2; I
Corinthians 11:7; 6:19; Ephesians 1:23; Revelation 21:2-3). His unseen second or (Gk.) 'parousia' Coming in W_O_R_D form in 1963
was to gather, complete and receive His Church in the resurrection and translation. Verse 10 describes Christ's Bride of all Ages. Verses 11-16
describe the regathering and redemption of Israel in Daniel's Seventieth Week. "And it shall come to pass (when the Body is complete and
gathered Home to the Wedding Supper), that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant 144,000 elect
Israelites, from Assyria, and from Lower, Middle, and Upper Egypt, and from Cush (Southern Arabia, southern Egypt, the Sudan and northern
Ethiopia), and from Elam (Iran), and from Shinar (Turkey), and from Hamath (Syria), and from the western islands and coastlands of the
Mediterranean sea. And He shall set up an ensign to the nations, as a sign that will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the
dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth." His third Coming will be with His glorified Church to restore the Kingdom to
Israel and live through the Millennium. Verses 6-9 are in parenthesis describing the renewed Heavens and renewed Earth.
Here is further Scriptural proof that the citizens of modern Israel are mainly non-Semitic self-styled Jews and Semitic Arabs, and not the
people of God's Covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Israel (Psalm 17:7; Isaiah 6:10-13; 11:11-16; 13:14; 27:13; 49:17; Jeremiah 3:12, 18;
16:15; 23:8; 31:8; Ezekiel 37:14; 39:27; Joel 3:1; Micah 5:3; Zephaniah 3:8-10; Zechariah 10:9-12; Matthew 24:29-31; Revelation 12:14).
It is beyond dispute that "Satan, the adversary (of the children of Israel), prowls around like a roaring lion (as Khazars of the 'City of
London' and her colonies), seeking whom he may devour (in your country)" (I Peter 5:8; Genesis 27:39-41).
On the Day of the Lord the Shekinah glory will appear on the Mount of Olives which will cleave demolishing the Dome of
the Rock and al Aqsa Mosque (Zechariah 12:1-9; 14:1-7; Joel 2:32; Isaiah 29:6; 51:22-23; Revelation 16:19). The invasion of Semitic
Palestinian Muslims will precipitate a mass exodus of non-Semitic Zionist Jews. This will enable and encourage Jacob's children to return to
Israel for redemption without fear of the so-called Jews of Cain's lineage vainly seeking to recover Esau's birthright and blessing as Judea's
Edomite king Herod sought to kill Jesus Christ, his rival to David's throne (Genesis 3:15; 27:39-41; I Peter 5:8) . . . a type and also an antitype
of Matthew 24:16-28 and Ezekiel 38 and 39. "Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord." Zechariah 14:2, "All nations will
gather together against Jerusalem . . ." (Ezekiel 38; 39). Israelites who flee through the valley of God's mountains as they fled
from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah will announce the sign of Christ's 'parousia' Coming to their brethren dwelling among Gentiles
in the now Muslim lands of the ancient Assyrian Empire (Isaiah 11:11-16; 18:1-7; 29:19-25) to gather them to the Land of the Covenant for
redemption.
In Isaiah 49:4-6, 22 Jesus Messiah said, "I have laboured (over Israel) in vain, I have spent My strength for naught, and in vain (Isaiah
53:1-3; John 1:11; Romans 10:20): yet surely My judgment is with the Lord, and My reward with My God. But now, says the Lord, who
formed Me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him: though Israel is not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the
eyes of the Lord, and My God shall be My strength. And He said: It is too light a thing that you should be My Servant to raise up the tribes of
Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel (the Old Testament saints): I will make You a Light to the Gentiles, that My salvation may reach
to the end of the Earth . . . Thus says the Lord God to Zion/Israel: Behold, I will swear an oath to the Gentiles, and set up My
standard to those peoples: and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters (Christ's Gentile Bride, Spiritual Israel, the
countless children converted to the Lord while Zion was forsaken by her Husband) shall be carried on their shoulders".
Isaiah 66:19-21, "I will send those (Israelites) who escape to the nations, to Tarshish (Spain), Pul (an island in the Nile between Egypt and
Ethiopia), and Lud (Libya), celebrated archers, to Tubal (south of the Caucasus, between the Black Sea and Araxes, probably Cappadocia, now
part of Turkey), and Javan (Greece and Asia Minor), to the isles afar off, that have not heard My fame, neither seen My glory; and they shall
declare My glory, (Jesus Christ "from whom the whole Family of God in heaven and earth is named," to the Israelites) among the Gentiles.
(The glory of God is employed as the Lord's standard, His ensign or rallying point in Israel (Isaiah 11:10-12; 49:22; 62:10, and Ezekiel
43:1-2)). And they shall bring all your brethren for a (precious unbloody) offering to the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in
chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an
offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord. And some of them I will take for priests and for Levites, says the Lord."
Revelation 21:3, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself
shall be with them, and be their God." These chosen ones from among the returnees will be the 144,000 who will live consecrated godly
lives in the Presence of God within the City. Like the priests and Levites of old, the City will be sustained by tithes brought by the "saved"
without the City from new Moon to new Moon and from sabbath to sabbath (Revelation 21:26).
Isaiah 66:22 confirms the offerors and the chosen offerings are both of the pure seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. "For as the new heavens
and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before Me, says the Lord, so shall your new Life be eternal"
Verse 23, "And it
shall come to pass, that from one new Moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, all flesh (living without the City) shall come to
worship before Me, says the Lord." New Jerusalem is where God and His Family is worshipped together; the City is God's elect, we are God
manifest. There will be no time, and no new moons or sabbaths in the City which is lit not by the sun or the moon but by the Shekinah.
This is foreshadowed by Matthew 11:29 which speaks of new birth in Jesus as our sabbatha temporal blessing until we enter New Jerusalem the
Place of God's eternal rest where there will be no hunger or thirst, no heat or cold, and no feast of Tabernacles. The millennium will be the
antitype of the seventh day, Feast of Tabernacles or Ingathering and conclusion of the Harvest (of souls) after six days each of a thousand
years labouring against sin. The eighth day of the Feast types eternity in the renewed heavens and renewed earth, and as "pillars in the
temple of God we shall out go no more" (Leviticus 23:36, 39; Revelation 3:12; 7:9-17; Zechariah 14:16-21). Consequently by being granted
into eternal Life at the white throne judgment, the "saved" will be granted into the eighth day of the feast of Tabernacles which is
eternity.
Colossians 2:16-17, "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of any holyday, or new moon, or of the sabbath days:
which are a shadow of things to come; but the Body is of Christ".
Verse 24: "And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have rebelled against Me: for their worm shall not die,
neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence to all mankind".
Brother Branham said, "If you're a sinner and your soul slips out, it'll go yonder into judgment and will be condemned. And then you'll be cast
away, and you'll be in torment until the day that you are brought back to this earth again. And you will receive an immortal body, an immortal
body that cannot die, and will be cast away into outer darkness where there'll be weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. You'll be cast into
hell, where the worm never dies or fire is never quenched, and you'll be tormented through all ages there is to come. Jesus said that. That's a
black picture, but it's what the Bible said" (COD, p. 113:45). However as Gehenna had a time it began, it is not eternal and will have a time
that it ends, and as sinners do not have eternal life, their part in the lake of Fire will be limited. nl713.htm
