Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The "Jew" Karl Marx followed the formula of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion and Adam Weishaupt. ". . .what we want is that industry should drain off from the land both labour and capital and by means of speculation transfer into our hands all of the money of the world." Do Arthur Anderson and Partners, Sunbeam, Enron, Ansett, HIH Insurance, Onetel, Worldcom, and privatization sound familiar? If so, you should realize that the same formula and people are behind these scandals also.
I would encourage every student of Truth and subscriber to this Newsletter to study the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion on the Church Website. These are the blueprint prepared by the enemy of God and man by which they have been turning the world back to serfdom under a totalitarian government which they will rule with an iron hand.
Further essential reading is The Controversy of Zion by Douglas Reed. Like Henry Ford's The International Jew, The World's Foremost Problem, Reed traces the fulfillment of the prophecies set forth in the Protocols. Brother Branham taught us to know the plans and study the tactics of the Enemy. It is far later than we think.
Eric and Lee Jewell publish an interesting Newsletter. Their current issue contains an FBI pamphlet promoting co-operation with law enforcement officers to apprehend "domestic terrorists" whom they identify as partiots, Common Law proponents, Nazis, animal rights activists and eco-terrorists, Marxist-Leninists, Doomsday cultists, and other groups the Anti-Defamation League of the "Jew's" B'nai B'rith, or Sons of the Covenant (so-called), disapprove. As you will be aware, the ADL (with a criminal record as long as in "domestic terrorism," their field of expertise.

US Ready to Strike, Iraq Warns
Johannesburg, September 3, 2002 -- Iraqi deputy prime minister Tareq Aziz warned at the Earth Summit that the United States stood poised to strike his country and called on the world community to intervene and lift the sanctions it imposed 12 years ago.
"Since imposition of an unjust and all-out embargo 12 years ago, the forces of aggression have dropped more than 135,000 tonnes of high explosive throughout Iraq." US use of depleted uranium ammunition had contaminated the environment, causing cancer rates to soar and triggered birth defects. Aziz also attacked Turkey for diverting water from rivers that flow down through Iraq. This had seriously depleted the volume available for agriculture and hydro power and affected the quality of drinking water. And he called on the world to "stand firmly against Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people". Full story: news.ninemsn.com.au
Iraq Attacks US and British Warplanes
Baghdad, September 1, 2002 -- Allied warplanes patrolling "no-fly" zones over northern and southern Iraq launched a bombing raid for the fifth time in a week.
"Missiles and ground defences opened up on enemy warplanes that staged armed sorties" over ten localities in southern Iraq, "forcing them to flee to their bases in Kuwait", said a military spokesman. Full story: news.ninemsn.com.a
US-Iraq War Continues
The scale of the bombing in the no-fly zones is astonishing. During the 18 months to January 14, 1999, American air force and naval aircraft flew 36,000 sorties over Iraq, including 24,000 combat missions. During 1999, American and British aircraft dropped more than 1,800 bombs and hit 450 targets. The cost to British taxpayers is more than L800 million. There is bombing almost every day. This is the longest Anglo-American aerial campaign since the Second World War; yet it is mostly ignored by the British and American media."
'Before the Gulf war, we had only three or four deaths in a month from cancer. Now its 30 to 35 patients dying every month, and that's just in my department. That is 12 times the increase in cancer mortality. Studies indicate 40% to 48% of the population in this area will get cancer - in five years' time to begin with, then long afterwards. That's almost half the population. Most of my own family now have cancer, and we have no history of the disease.
The decision by the US and Britain to use a 'weapon of mass destruction' such as depleted uranium. . . 'In the Gulf War, well over 300 tonnes were fired. An A-10 Warthog attack aircraft fired over 900,000 rounds. Each individual round was 300 grams of solid uranium 238. When a tank fired its shells, each round carried over 4500 grams of solid uranium. Moreover, we have evidence to suggest they were mixed with plutonium. What happened in the Gulf was a form of nuclear warfare. Comment: Further terror psychology by the Elders and their dupes.

Russia's Overtures to 'Axis of Evil' Strains US Ties
Moscow, August 31, 2000 -- A flurry of Russian overtures to Iraq, Iran and North Korea - nations the United States calls an "axis of evil" - is exposing strains in the newly forged relationship between Presidents Bush and Vladimir V. . . Full story: nytimes.com
Muslim Extremism: Denmark has had Enough
A Muslim organization in Denmark has announced recently that a $30,000 bounty would be paid for the murder of several prominent Danish Jews, a threat that garnered wide international notice. Less well known is that this is just one problem associated with Denmark's approximately 200,000 Muslim immigrants. The key issue is that many of them show little desire to fit into their adopted country. . .
Third-World immigrants -- most of them Muslims from countries such as Turkey, Somalia, Pakistan, Lebanon and Iraq -- constitute 5% of the population but consume upwards of 40% of the welfare spending. Muslims are only 4% of Denmark's 5.4 million people but make up a majority of the country's convicted rapists, an especially combustible issue given that practically all the female victims are non-Muslim. . .

Israel has Shifted Costs of Occupation onto International Community
Israel has succeeded in shifting the costs of occupation onto the international community in what amounts to another form of subsidy for illegal Israeli policies; second, focus on a 'humanitarian crisis' deflects attention away from the causes of the crisis - the direct and predictable result of Israeli policy; third, ordinary Palestinians are deprived not only of the right to collective self-determination, but even of the right to direct their own individual economic affairs at the most basic level, by earning a living.

The Growing Clamor for Ethnic Cleansing
Amman, August 27, 2002 -- An Israeli organization has published detailed plans for "complete elimination of the Arab demographic threat to Israel" by forcibly expelling all Palestinians, including Palestinians in the occupied territories and Palestinian citizens of Israel from the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea within a 3-5 year period. . . The Logistics of Transfer". . . argues that it needs "only a modicum of support from its closest ally -- the United States," in order to carry out the plan. . .
While Israel moves to implement the complete annexation of all the occupied territories, it would, according to the plan, have to subdue the population by carrying out war crimes and crimes against humanity if any Palestinians try to resist. . .
Comment: According to the Protocols, the Elders plan to govern the world "by violence and terrorization". Full story: electronicIntifada.net
Is Holocaust Cult to Replace Christianity?
"If Auschwitz is something other than a horror of history, then Christianity totters in its foundations. Christ is the Son of God, Who went to the end of the humanely endurable, where He endured the cruelest suffering. . . If Auschwitz is true, then there is a human suffering with which that of Christ simply cannot be compared. .. In this case, Christ is false, and salvation will not come from Him. .. Auschwitz is the refutation of Christ."

A Basket of Ripe Fruit
Israel's deliverance from the land of Egypt was their selection to be God's peculiar and Covenant people (Exodus 19:4-6). Like Pentecost to the New Testament saints, Israel's deliverance was the beginning and symbol of all Divine grace and guidance towards them (Leviticus 11:45; Joshua 24:17; I Kings 8:51; Jeremiah 2:6). Whereas God's Covenant to Abraham's Seed and His offspring is unconditional, Israel's Covenant was conditional upon their obedience as a nation.
No other nation had experienced such Divine favor. Nevertheless Israel abandoned God to worship the gods of the Egyptians and the Serpent's seed people He had expelled before them, and whose utter destruction He had commanded. Israel's perversity wore out God's long-suffering so He sent Amos to prophesy the dissolution of the Northern Kingdom under Shalmaneser who took Samaria 68 years later after a three years' siege and carried Israel away captive to Assyria because they were worshiping the Trinity (II Kings 17:3-7,16, 23).
In a vision, God showed Amos a basket of ripe summer fruit, signifying the people of the Northern Kingdom who were ripe for judgment owing to the violence and injustice being practiced by the rich and noble against the poor (Amos 8:1-7). Like the parable of the wheat and the tares, at harvest time the mature crop, whether it is good or bad, has reached its end and is cut down. Heavenly influences can only injure the ripened sinner, as dew, rain and sun but injure the ripened fruit when it reproduces the life of the seed that was sown (Matthew 5:45; 13:24-30; Luke 6:43-44; Hebrews 6:7-8; Revelation 14:18).
As in the today's "Jew"-dominated world, these apostates of Israel cared only for money and could not wait for their sabbaths and new moons to pass so they could resume their dishonest trading. Whereas Joseph had opened Egypt's granaries for the benefit of the poor, these people did so for their own advantage making usurious gains from the poverty of others whom they defrauded (Amos 8:1-7).
The Lord swore by "the excellency of Jacob," which is Himself, He would bring retribution upon Israel for these deeds, overwhelming them suddenly as the river Nile overwhelms the land of Egypt at floodtime. A just retribution for those who will not hear the Word of the Lord by His prophets is a famine and thirst for the "revealed" Word of God, as distinguished from the "letter".
Amos 8:11-14, "The time is coming, says the Lord God, when I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Words of the Lord: men will wander from the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean (or from the east to the west), and from the north even to the east. (But Israel was so alienated from Judah, that no Israelite even in such distress would think of seeking southward to Jerusalem for Spiritual food). They shall wander everywhere in search of the Word of the Lord, and they shall not find it. Fair virgins and young men will faint for thirst. (How much more the infirm -- Isaiah 40:30,31)! And those who worship the idols of Samaria, Dan, and Beersheba shall fall and never rise again".
Even the atheist and the profane will seek the Lord in a time of distress. Saul in his extremity inquired of God Who answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. Micah also foresaw God's silence following His rejection of Israel, and Ezekiel foretold God's silence during Judah's captivity (Micah 3:7; Ezekiel 7:26).
Jesus alluded to Judah's rejection of Messiah in His parable of the wicked husbandmen, or covenant people, who were share-farming God's vineyard, and spoke of their consequent rejection by Him: -- "The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth His share of the fruits" (Matthew 21:33-43) and of their desire for Messiah too late (John 7:34 8:21).
After Pentecost the Israelitish religion could not be sustained, even in vain, because of its dependence upon the temple which was the one place on earth God had ordained for their thrice yearly gathering and sacrifice. When it was destroyed by the armies of Titus in AD70, according to the prophecy of our Lord Jesus, the Mosaic ritual, which could not exist without it, necessarily ceased. Providence designed that as the Law gave way to the Gospel all men should perceive it was so, in spite of the Hebrews' obstinate rejection of the Gospel.
Such is the present condition of the Israelites who roam in restless vagrancy in search of the Word of God, and find it not, because they have killed the incarnate Word revealed in the written Word. But God has promised to reveal Himself in mercy by opening the eyes of 144,000 elect tribesmen once the fullness of the Gentiles has come in while all other souls will be shut up, imprisoned by their obstinate opposition to the Divine will (Romans 11:32; Galatians 3:22).
Today there is a famine throughout Christendom in just retribution against all who will not hear the Word of the Lord by His prophet William Branham (Deuteronomy 15:17; Matthew 10:41; John 5:38; Acts 3:23). Without his Message, nominal Christians have lost their identity (Malachi 4:5-6; Revelation 10:7). All they have are traditions of a Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist or Pentecostal day that ended long ago. They are so hungry they will jump the fence to another's paddock, even gather in Charismatic and ecumenical meetings with their ancient enemy and mother, Rome. Like our national governments they spare no expense in time and money trying to solve their problems but they will not repair to the simple sure solution of faith in God's unchanging Word for this hour.
The denominational churches all ended in apostasy at the opening of the Seven Seals in March, 1963. Almost forty-years later they "know it not" as Jesus foretold (Revelation 3:17-20). They have the letter but without the Spirit, and like the Ethiopian eunuch can never understand what they read "except some man guide them" which is precisely why God sent us the prophet William Branham in these last days as promised by Jesus Christ (Matthew 17:11; Revelation 1:1; 3:14; 10:7).
Speaking of His second or 'parousia' Coming, Jesus said: "The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it. Reports of My physical return will reach you saying I am at this place or that. Ignore them all. For My Coming will be universal like the lightning, that flashes across the skies (and no man can appear universally). . . And as it was in the days of Noah, life will continue as usual . . . as it did until the day that the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot life continued as usual but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. So shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed" (Luke 17:22-24,26-30; II Peter 3:1-7).
And so it was and remains. The church world is experiencing the tail end of a forty-year drought. And for a whole generation most churchgoers have never eaten Spiritual Food in due season.
When Israel and the young Patriarchs, his sons, encountered a famine, they went down into Egypt where Providence had provided vast granaries to support natural life. Through murderous jealousy and a love of money they had sold their brother Joseph into slavery, lying to father Israel that he had been slain by a wild beast, and giving him the token of his blood-stained coat of seven colors in evidence of his death.
In Egypt they met Joseph as one raised from the dead, and He blessed them -- a perfect type of Christ. When Joseph died, his body was embalmed and laid is a casket as a token that when his body left the tomb, Israel would leave Egypt with It. Christ's empty tomb is our token "He has gone to prepare a place for us, that where He is we might be also and that He will come again and receive us to Himself" (John 14:1-4). As Joseph dismissed his Gentile Bride into the palace before he revealed himself to his brethren, Christ's Bride will be resurrected or translated to the Palace before He reveals Himself to His brethren, the 144,000 Israelites, as foretold in Zechariah 12-13.
Although Christ has been here since the revelation of the Seven Seals brought Him back to earth in Word form, the denominational churches are seeking Him in their traditions instead of His Word, so despite plenty, there is a famine for the anointed Word among the Gentiles who are ripe for destruction. When our Joseph's Bride goes Home, 144,000 elect Israelites will be gathered to Jerusalem by a Supernatural inspiration as when God gathered the animals into Noah's ark. "Spiritually, Jerusalem is called Sodom and Egypt" because it will continue to be ruled by the basest Gentiles and Serpent's seed unto the consummation (Daniel 9:27; Luke 21:24).
When Jehoshaphat king of Judah and Ahab king of Israel made alliance to attack Assyria, they sought the will of the Lord through four hundred prophets who agreed unanimously that God would prosper them. Nevertheless, Jehoshaphat was not fully persuaded so they summonsed the prophet Micaiah.
I Kings 22:11-23, "Zedekiah, one of the four hundred prophets made some iron horns and declared, Thus saith the Lord, with these you shall push the Syrians until they are destroyed! The others prophesied likewise, saying, Go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, for the Lord will deliver it into the king's hand".
"The messenger who fetched Micaiah told him what the other prophets had said and urged him to say the same thing. But Micaiah vowed, I will say only what the Lord says to me!"
When the king asked Micaiah, Shall we attack Ramoth-gilead, Or not? He answered, Why, of course! Go right ahead! You will have a great victory, for the Lord will deliver it into your hand".
"How many times must I tell you to tell me nothing but that which is true in the Name of the Lord?"
"Then Micaiah said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills as sheep without a shepherd. And the Lord said, Their king is dead; send them every man to his home in peace".
"Turning to Jehoshaphat, Ahab complained, Didn't I tell you this would happen? He never tells me anything good. It's always bad news".
"Then Micaiah said, Listen to this further Word from the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting on His throne with the host of heaven around Him. And He said, Who will entice Ahab to go and die at Ramoth-gilead?"
"Various suggestions were made, until one angel approached the Lord and said, I will persuade him. How? the Lord asked. And he replied, I will go forth and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets. And the Lord said, That will do it; you will succeed. Go ahead".
"Can't you see? The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets, but the fact of the matter is that the Lord has decreed your doom".
In the White House today, four hundred "Jewish" prophets, all deceived by a lying Spirit, are advising America's George II: "Go up and attack Iraq, for the Lord will prosper you."
The especial characteristic of two World Wars is the disappointment which each brought to the peoples who appeared to be victorious. "Uncanny knowledge", therefore, seems to have inspired this statement in the Protocols: "Ever since" (the French Revolution) "we have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment to another", and later: "By these acts all States are in torture; they exhort to tranquility, are ready to sacrifice everything for peace but we will not give them peace until they openly acknowledge our international Super-Government, and with submissiveness." These words, written in the 19th Century at the latest, seem accurately to depict the course of the 20th Century to the present day (Douglas Reed, The Controversy of Zion, p. 216).
President George W. Bush's lying prophets are enflamed by the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, and not inspired by the Spirit of Almighty God.
Humanist might consider that it was unjust, even dishonorable of God to use a lying spirit. But believers know God's Word can never change. And that the vindication of a prophet is that whatever he says in the Name of the Lord does come to pass, and what one prophet says in the Name of the Lord can not contradict the Words of a previous prophet. Ahab's prophets were willfully deceived (Deuteronomy 13:1-5; 18:15-22; Galatians 1:8-9).
Amos had already prophesied the end of the Northern Kingdom and in Newsletter #234 we discussed how God forewarned Solomon of Israel's downfall, and how Judah should be cut off from the Land and their temple destroyed. God had to allow this lying spirit to deceive the school of the prophets so that Ahab would be slain according to "Thus saith the Lord" of Micaiah's predecessor, Elijah.
I Kings 21:17-25, "The Lord said to Elijah, Go to Samaria to Ahab king of Israel. He will be at Naboth's vineyard, taking possession of it. Tell him, You have killed Naboth, must you rob him also? Thus saith the Lord, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick your blood".
"And Ahab exclaimed, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found you: because you have sold yourself to the Devil . . . And the dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. . . But there was none like Ahab who sold himself to the Devil, for his wife Jezebel encouraged him to do all manner of evil".
Is there any like President George W. Bush? The Protocols are especially contemptuous of Republicanism and Liberalism, in which they see the weapon of self-destruction forged out of "the mob." [When] the era of republics became possible of realization . . . we replaced the ruler by a caricature of a government, by a president, taken from the mob, from the midst of our puppet creatures, our slaves. This was the foundation of the mine which we have laid under the peoples".
As Brother Branham said, "Democracy is all sails and no anchor".
If Israel's four hundred Hebrew prophets were proven sinners when they failed to "receive God's Word with all readiness of mind, then search the Scripture whether those things were so," where do millions of today's nominal Christians stand who take letter of Matthew 28:19, and without the Spirit, baptize in the Titles "Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost?" This is sin or unbelief in God's revealed Word.
God inspired Matthew to record Jesus' conversation in these Words in order to thin down the crowds and separate the Sheep from the goats, or sift His elect from "the mob". This word is used throughout the Protocols with searing contempt to denote the masses, (who in public are flattered by their prepurchased politicians by being called "the people").
"Men with bad instincts are more in number than the good, and therefore the best results in governing them are attained by violence and terrorization (as witnessed in the Elder's attacks of 9/11, against Afghanistan, against Iraq, and their threats against Saudi Arabia and other Muslim states). . . The might of a mob is blind, senseless and unreasoning force ever at the mercy of a suggestion from any side. . ." From this the argument is developed that "an absolute despotism" is necessary to govern "the mob", which is "a savage", and that "our State" will employ "the terror which tends to produce blind submission. . ." The "literal fulfillment" of these precepts in Russia must be obvious to all today. Particularly as it is now Western governments have begun to impose the same violence and terrorism (as in 9/11) upon their citizens.
"Absolute despotism" is to be vested in the international super-State at the end of the road. In the meanwhile regional puppet-despots are depicted as essential to the process of breaking down the structure of states and the defences of peoples: "From the premier-dictators of the present day the peoples suffer patiently and bear such abuses as for the least of them they would have beheaded twenty kings. What is the explanation. . ? It is explained by the fact that these dictators whisper to the peoples through their agents that through these abuses they are inflicting injury on the States with the highest purpose: to secure the welfare of the peoples, the international brotherhood of them all, their solidarity and equality of rights. Naturally they do not tell them that this unification must be accomplished only under our sovereign rule" (Douglas Reed, The Controversy of Zion, p. 215).
As God has always separated His Own from "the mob," the seed of the Serpent God set at enmity to Adam's race incites "the mob" to destroy their own interests and themselves as we have seen in all Judaeo-Communist countries and in our Western sham democracies which likewise are ruled by "the mob" incited by the "Jewish"-controlled media to destroy our nations by multiculturalism, UN treaties, GATT, GATS, LIMA Agreement, native title legislation, disarmament, free trade, climate change propaganda, aggression against Iraq and Afghanistan, etc.,
Satan's children encourage "the mob" by deceiving them with lies against their own better interests. Jesus separated His Own from "the mob" by His Word which is Truth. Returning to our subject of Matthew 28:19, obedience to Jesus' command is to baptize in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and if you have not been baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ then you have not been baptized in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Father is an Office or Title that God received when His first Son, Adam, was formed (Genesis 2:7). And since Jesus came in His Father's Name, the Name of the Father is Lord Jesus Christ (John 5:43; 17:26).
Holy Ghost is what God is. God is one Spirit, not two Spirits and one Man as He would be if "the Father" were a person other than the Holy Spirit (Numbers 23:19; John 4:24; Acts 17:24). The Name of the Holy Spirit is Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:16,26).
The Man was a manifestation of the Holy Spirit in virgin-born flesh to fulfill the part of Kinsman Redeemer for Adam and his race (Isaiah 7:14; I Timothy 3:16). Scripture informs us that the fullness of the (character and nature of the) godhead was expressed bodily in Jesus Christ. Scripture does not say that the fullness of Jesus Christ dwelt in the godhead (II Corinthians 5:19; Colossians 2:9). When He was born, Joseph called His Name Jesus which means "Jehovah-Savior." As Jehovah means "the Self-existent One," not two or three, Jesus means, "the Self-existent One, the Savior." Joseph so-named Him because Isaiah had prophesied, "they shall call His Name Emmanuel" which means "God with us" or Jesus (Matthew 1:21-25).
When John baptized Jesus in the Jordan He was anointed for His ministry by the Shekinah or Pillar of Fire in the form of a Dove, and became the Christ or Anointed One (John 1:31-34). And later, when He overcame in the garden of Gethsemane, He became Lord (John 17; Acts 2:36; 5:31). He is Lord Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 9:6 foretold, "Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the mighty God (or Holy Ghost), The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace (or Son).
Isaiah 43:11, "I am the Lord; and beside Me there is no Savior".
Isaiah 44:24, "Thus saith the LORD, your Redeemer Who formed you from the womb, I am the Lord Who makes all things; Who stretched forth the heavens alone; that spread abroad the earth by Myself".
Isaiah 45:21, "There is no other God but Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside Me".
Luke, "having had perfect understanding of all things from the very beginning," in writing his inspired account of Christ's 'great commission' has Jesus saying, "that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations starting at Jerusalem (Luke 1:3; 24:47). And Jesus' Name is not Father, Son, and/or Holy Ghost.
God's compound redemptive Name is Lord Jesus Christ, "for there is not another Name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). "Whatsoever we do in Word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him" (Colossians 3:17).
On the day of Pentecost after the Church had been inaugurated, and in the presence of Matthew and Luke, Peter commanded believing Hebrews and proselytes: "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you (Israelites), and to your children (Israelites), and to all that are afar off (Gentiles), even to as many as the Lord our God shall call (both Gentiles and Israelites -- Acts 2:38-39).
When Israel's 144,000 elect see the revelation of Messiah, they will all be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Like the first Israelite and Gentile converts, they will not believe in any Trinity of gods (Revelation 15:3). There is no prescription in the Bible for remission of sins other than Acts 2:38-39. Neither is there but one water baptism for the remission of sins (Acts 19:1-7; Ephesians 4:5; I Peter 3:21).
Jesus told Peter, God is building His Church upon the rock of Spiritual revelation from the Father (Matthew 16:13-19) which is "the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone" (Ephesians 2:20). Or faith in the revealed Word for the hour.
There is only one Person in the Godhead, Whose compound redemptive Name is Lord Jesus Christ. But the Bible is the story of this One God creating Himself into the flesh of His glorified Family, beginning with the virgin-born Jesus Christ, less than 2,000 years ago (Revelation 3:14). Therefore God is not 'three in One' but "ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands in One" (Daniel 7:10; Revelation 5:11; Hebrews 2:9-18).
The revelation of the true Oneness of the godhead and of Scriptural water baptism was perfectly clear to the saints for almost a thousand years after Pentecost. The elect of God can not be deceived on the revealed Word of God, which is faith. All encyclopedias and Bible dictionaries agree there was no Trinity within Christian circles and no one was ever baptized in three Titles until hundreds of years after the original apostles.
After the Roman Catholic church organized at the First Nicea Council in AD325 it gained State backing, and until the early nineteenth century it enforced its mark of the beast, which is Trinitarianism. Rome killed scores of millions of saints until the faith was lost. But so long as the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals, Christ was a Mediator, and He excused Roman errors in His elect. Since the Seals have been opened and their mystery revealed, there is no excuse for ignorance: Christ is no longer a Mediator, He is Judge (John 5:27; I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 10:7).
In 1963 the churches all put away Christ, the fullness of the Anointed Word, when they rejected the revelation of the Seals and clung to their Trinitarian substitute as Israel rejected their Messiah and clung to their animal substitutes. And as God sent a lying spirit to deceive Ahab's denominational prophets, today He has send a lying spirit into the denominational churches that refused the "midnight cry" of Matthew 25:6 which is the "Shout" of I Thessalonians 4:16 and the Message of the Seventh angel (Revelation 10:7; 18:4).
II Thessalonians 2:10-12, "That Roman man of sin will come with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved. Because of this God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in the unrighteousness" substitute of man-made creeds and dogmas" (Revelation 13:3-4,14).
The churches were instructed to walk in the Light as God was shining It, and to watch for more Light to unfold (I John 1:7). But their eyes were focused on the plans of those who were directing the organizations, and they lost sight of the Light. God allowed this delusion in order to fulfill the prophecies of Jesus Christ and Paul (Revelation 2:20-23; 19:20).
Spirits don't die. God takes His man, but never His Spirit, and Satan takes his man, but never his spirit. That becomes a demon, so the world can not possibly become a better place this side of the Millennium. And God placed each one of us on the basis of free moral agency to make our own personal decisions and bear the consequences. Today's denominational people, and multitudes within the circle of this wonderful Message, are souls imprisoned now by their myopic religious vision. A basket of fruit matured from the seed of a bygone season, and ripe for destruction. nl241.htm
