Bible Believers' Newsletter #108
"We focus on the PRESENT Truth -- what Jesus is doing NOW . . ." ISSN 1442-8660
We greet you in the wonderful Name of our Lord Jesus Christ and appreciate your fellowship. A special welcome to our many new subscribers.
When you read the Newsletter, it is important that you prove all things by the Bible references and links in order that you may rightly divide the Word of truth. Few make the effort, expecting me or some other minister to "do their religion for them". Others learn what the Bible and Prophet Branham say without ever understanding what they mean. It does not work that way with God.
Brother Branham said, "When one regards a verse superficially, he comes up with a superficial understanding."
This week I received a letter from a subscribers enquiring if I am "anti-Semitic" or "anti-Israel" as certain "Message" sites slanderously libel me and my Church (I Timothy 5:17-20). If these very people obeyed God's Word as I admonish each of you, by studying the Christian resources on this Site they would know from my writings, God's unchanging Word, historical fact and the Prophet's Message, that myself and ALL Christians are absolutely not anti-Semitic and stand behind the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and anybody else of Adam's race as they follow God.
I credit the young Brother for having the courtesy and integrity of an open heart to ask me these questions. His inexperience, being a young Christian, compounded perhaps by the absence of the Holy Spirit in his pastor and the congregation with whom he fellowships may excuse his ignorance of the faith and his failure to utilize the facilities on Bible Believers' site to answer His questions.
But the slanderous libel of those who regard themselves elders, brings reproach upon the Word. The Lord will take the life of any who may be His "elected" before He will permit them to continue such sin (I Corinthians 11:30). Only this week I was informed by a pastor of a Sister in his congregation, living in fornication, who refused correction by the Word. Within the week she was dead.
Any who want to "play church" with a make-believe god are subscribing to the wrong Newsletter and associating with the wrong Church. Wilful disobedience and/or a religious spirit in place of the Holy Spirit is all I can imagine would account for the libel and slander of those who regard themselves elders and ministers but needlessly bring unconstructive reproach upon the Word, and do not or can not understand these revelations so plainly expounded and so thoroughly confirmed in theTeaching Sermons, Radio Transcripts, Newsletters, Scripture, the Message of God's Prophet, the testimony of the Enemy and historic fact.
In the same way as denominational Christians who love the Lord, but by their traditions make His Word of no effect to themselves, are anti-Christ. Our critics in their ignorance are anti-Semitic and enemies to Abraham's children of the flesh, knowing not God's Bible, His Prophet's Message, or the historic fact that God's Covenant pertains neither to "Jews" nor to the Serpent's seed.
So take care. Be sober, be vigilant; for your adversary the Devil has anointed his "Message Judas" for the twenty-first century who prowls as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist stedfast in the faith, having PROVEN you are IN the faith. And may the Lord bless and prosper you in the faith and peace.

The Non-productive Bubble Economy
The Financial Times reports that, more than ever before, corporations are beefing up operational earnings by speculating on the stock market. Chase Manhattan earned 40% of its 4th quarter profits from its investments. Wells Fargo took in $650 million from venture capital plays. Microsoft traces two-thirds of its earnings growth to investments. And Delta made three times as much money in the 4th quarter by unloading Priceline.com shares as it did from flying airplanes.
There there are derivatives. Great will be the fall . . . when it comes!

Holocaust: Make-Belief, or Myth?
Melbourne's Herald Sun (January 21, 2000) set up a telephone poll with a number for "yes" and another number for "no" on the question, "Do you agree with David Irving's view of the holocaust"? The result was not published. The Jewish Holocaust Museum and Research Centre President, Shmuel Rosenkranz said he believed the the question could give holocaust denial legitimacy.
Yes, but if he dropped a brick on the rabbi's toe, would he legitimize "gravity"?
FBI Muzzling Witnesses to Aid Clinton & Bush
by Sherman H. Skolnick
America's secret political police, the FBI, are part of a big purge in Chicago, to muzzle witnesses against Bill Clinton and the George Herbert Walker Bush family.
A huge river of Red Chinese and other clandestine funds has been reportedly traveling into the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade, Chicago Board Options Exchange, and Chicago Stock Exchange, disguised as currency trading, transactions in soybeans, corn, wheat, etc., Chicago has been the intake point for "China White", high purity heroin from Southwest China. Junkies prefer it since it can be smoked in a pipe and does not require a needle.
Red Chinese clandestine funds are from several sources:
[1] The proceeds of "China White" flooding the U.S. . .
[2] Supplying human body parts for sick folks with big bucks. When an order for a heart, liver, kidneys, etc., is received from a U.S. hospital, the Chinese condemn a healthy political prisoner who is beheaded to protect the body parts.
[3] Rockefeller banks . . .

Peaceful Bullets of Enslavement
Prior to establishing the League of Nations, the Synagogue of Satan had a policy of dividing and destroying powerful governments, religions, industrial, financial, capitalistic and labor organizations, etc. From the chaos they would eventually establish a new International one world order under their control.
Since it was founded by the thugs who financed and fomented World Wars I and II, the United Nations has incited at least 156 wars in their plan to enslave the world under their totalitarian one world government. One more World War and one last major revolution (Armageddon) remain.
Last July 1, talk show host, Barbara Simpson on KSFO radio, San Francisco, interviewed Reverend Peter Hammond by phone to Capetown. He said the U.N. disarmed the Tutsi population in advance of the genocide and watched as they were slaughtered. And at times individual Tutsis were handed-over to the secret police to be marked for murder. The Tutsis were mainly killed in churches, schools, and hospitals where they had fled for sanctuary.
Tutsi were nominally Christian. Hutus are primarily anti-Christian voodoo/animists; Marxists (who worked-up the resentment against the Tutsis, who, by their clean-living, saving, investment, and so on, achieved greater material success than the Hutus, or Muslims.
Rev. Hammond said, "without doubt, having been a missionary for 18 years," he had observed that, while many lower to mid-level U.N. people were well-meaning "bleeding hearts", their upper echelons were "absolutely" anti-Christian. He said that in Angola and the Sudan, the U.N. was selective as to who received aid, and in the Sudan, persecution of Christians had been severe over many years.
Rev. Hammond has written many books --Holocaust in Rwanda is a recent one--and also has made video documentaries. A contact phone number is 1-888-918-4100.
The Synagogue of Satan have Russia under their control, the European Union, NAFTA and APEC. This year their U.N. is coming for America . . . find out about their 1995 Charter for Global Democracy, and Charter 99 to be introduced at a special Millennium meeting of the U.N. this September
Racist Cult Exposed by Jewish Professor
The late William Lyon Mackenzie King, Luciferian and member of the Synagogue of Satan (or World Revelolutionary Movement), was Prime Minister of Canada for almost a quarter of the twentieth century, during which time he secretly worked to introduce a one world government and one world religion. From 1914-1919 he was employed by Rockefellers who provided land for the Synagogue of Satan's U.N., which is intended to give an aire of respectability to the Internationalism their Communism and Nazism had brought into disrepute.
Now a brave and honest man, Michael Samuel, former professor in Judaic Studies of Concordia University, Montreal, has stood up to expose the fanatical messianic "Chabad-Lubavitch" cult, whose power intimidates the media who are afraid of exposing its racism for fear of being branded "anti-Semitic".
Their basic textbook called Likute Amarin or Tanya, is published by Soncino Press, who publish the English translation of the Babylonian Talmud. Scholars will recognize in this the same hand in other "Jewish" fronts like Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, British Israel, Christian Identity, and Islam.Their doctrine is based on the occult or black magic of the Kabbalah, and the sub-sewer filth of the Talmud.
The Criminal Code of Canada allegedly identifies this cult as wilfully promoting hatred. Yet such is the power of the Enemy that in September, 1998, Premier Lucien Bouchard of Quebec promised the sect C$800,000 to help build its new religious center in Cote St. Luc, Montreal. The Luciferian spirit of Mackenzie King still rules in the Dominion.
If you wish to receive photocopies of this religious bigotry in English and Hebrew, and learn more about the hatred preached by Chabad-Lubavitch, please advise your mailing address to micsamu@total.net. If we do not recognize the Enemy by his works, how can we fight the good fight in Word and deed?
Placing the Church
The Seven Church Ages were represented in the Old Testament by the Pentecostal Feast of Leviticus 23. The Gentile dispensation commenced on the Day of Pentecost. The first division called "Pentecost", was typed by the remaining SIX days of the Jewish Feast of Unleavened Bread.
As Pentecost overlapped Israel's Feast of Unleavened Bread, you can see why its members were mainly Hebrew converts. Bread is the staff of natural life. Jesus is that Bread from heaven, the Word of God, or spiritual Life, which if a man partake, he shall never die. In the Bible, "leaven" signifies sin. So you can see how the remaining six days of the Israel's Feast of unleavened Bread typed Pentecost, a period lasting perhaps twenty years, where the saints held and understood the pure Word of God -- unleavened by creed or tradition.
The Feast of Pentecost, also known as the Feast of Weeks, followed the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the Jewish religious cycle. It included seven sabbaths.
Now a sabbath is a "rest". Isaiah said, "To whom shall God teach knowledge? and whom shall God make to understand doctrine?" Then answering his own question, says, "They who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts."
In other words, those who are mature in the faith and able to eat strong meat. "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little (that's how we grow from childhood to maturity). For with stammering lips and another (ie. Gentile) tongue, will He speak to this people (Israel, who refused to be weaned from substitutes of the Law and sacrifices, which were only a school teacher to guide them to the real true rest). To whom He said, this is the rest by which you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear" (Isaiah 28:8-12).
Jesus said, "No man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him." (Praise God, in another place He said that the Church would be built upon Spiritual revelation of the Word)!
"Come unto Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, (How? By revelation from the Father), and I will give you rest. (Sabbath). Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest (sabbath) unto your souls" (Matthew 11:27-29). That's the new birth, the sabbath for Christians is a sabbath for the soul. When we enter our spiritual Promise, we have ceased from our own works. But our sabbath can only be observed if we are in God's provided Place of worship, in the new Covenant: in Christ, the living Word for OUR day.
Our sabbath is 24-hours a day, seven-days a week. Israel had no sabbath for their soul, but a natural rest for their body and spirit which they could only keep in the place God had provided for them, that is, in the Promised Land. Any Jew living outside Israel today is outside the Covenant God gave Israel, and cannot observe the sabbath.
The Pentecostal Feast, which types the Gentile dispensation, has within it seven rests, or sabbaths. And as we've just read, we enter our Spiritual rest, or new birth by Spiritual revelation -- faith from God. These seven rests are called in the New Testament, Seven Church ages. As there were seven distinct and different rests, or Church Ages, the saints predestinated to each Age entered their rest, or were born-again by seven different and distinct new births. Seven different portions of the Spirit by seven successive measures of faith, as God built His Church, the Body of Christ, "line upon Line, revelation upon revelation, Word upon Word."
These seven rests or Church Ages are followed by another rest, called in Leviticus, the fiftieth day. Here the end-time Bride is brought to maturity by agreement with the fullness of the Word, for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation.
One and only one Thing can give the new birth, and that's a life lived by the revealed Word for your day. God is only making saints by the manifestation of the present Truth. And the Message which gave the rest, or new birth to the saints of each age, was revealed only to the Messenger God ordained and sent to that Age. They're called "letters" in Revelation chapters two and three -- written in symbols and addressed to the angel, or major apostle God sent to each Age.
The saints of each Age were born-again by the Message God revealed through His messenger to that Age. "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches." Faith comes by hearing, and understanding the Word God inspired to the messenger for their Age.
Those seven messengers or angels were Paul, Irenaeus, St. Martin, St. Columba, Martin Luther, John Wesley, and William Branham. The FIRSTangel, Paul was a PROPHET. He expounded the Old Testament shadows and types into what we understand as the New Testament. And the LAST angel was the PROPHET William Branham, whose ministry RESTORED the faith once delivered unto the apostolic fathers, and FINISHED the mystery of God, to call a Bride OUT from creed and man-made religion for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation.
Now most who call themselves Christians are not in fact members of the Body of Christ. They're without faith, and not Christians, but members of institutionalized religion, believing what they've been taught to presume to be the truth. To these good people, the very idea that God could send us a prophet in this day, is unthinkable. They don't care what the Bible teaches, they'll only believe their man-made religion. Why? Because they're unthinking people. Unthinking that is, about God and eternal Life. Like the rich young ruler, they're GOOD people who love God; but they love the world and the things of the world more than they love God.
They're religious. Very religious. And intellectual geniuses when it comes to thinking about business, pleasure, or raising money to build a new church or hospital. But when it comes to relationship with God by faith, they can't face up to thinking. It'd bring them under condemnation, because they love the world, and the things of the world too dearly to face the decisions "thinking" would place upon them. Besides, they have a kind old priest, some "Father McKenzie," darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there. Nobody cares . . . they PAY their tithes to this nice man, and place offerings in the plate for church expenses. They feel they've bought his services as a surrogate. He can do their religion for them. Whatever he studies and teaches, they believe -- so long as he plays by the rules and doesn't preach anything which might make them feel uncomfortable. Their kind old priest will see them through.
Unfortunately, God does not work this way. The only thing that will see us through is a personal relationship with Him by faith or understanding of His Word. We must each study to show ourselves approved of God, as the kind old priest must study to show himself approved of god, not to please his congregation. You must study to show yourself approved of God, not to please your kind old priest.
The Bible says, "Study to show yourself approved of God by rightly dividing the Word to know the age in which you are living." We must recognize OUR day and ITS Message before we can be partakers of the Bible promises for THIS day.
One of the promises for this day, as we've seen, is an increase in the frequency, magnitude and spread of earthquakes. Another is the certain end of the Gentile dispensation, marked by a catastrophic earthquake, and tidal waves. The Bible says so!
The fearful and the abominable and those who know not God will not like to talk about these impending terrors. Oh, their kind old priest would be kicked out of the pulpit if he preached like this. But perfect love casts out fear. These things must come to pass; true Christians have been longing for this day for 2,000 years because it heralds the First Resurrection and the manifestation of the Sons of God.
Paul said, the whole creation has been groaning and travailing together in pain, from the Fall until now, waiting for these things. Even the earth itself is travailing in great spasms, to bring forth and renew itself for the Millennium. Tens and tens of millions will die in one day, but not one hair of your head will suffer harm -- if you're the Bride of Christ.
Now what mother or father among us doesn't love and protect their children, such that they teach them of good and safety, and warn them from evil and danger. You'd build a forty-foot wall around your home, if you thought it necessary to protect your precious ones. "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him" (Matthew 7:11)?
God has only good things in store for His children. But we're living among the children of the evil one, upon whom he's about to pour his wrath. God, rich in mercy, never sends judgment without first warning his people and providing a way of escape.
Amos 3:6-8, "Shall a trumpet sound an alarm, and the people not be afraid? shall there be judgment in a city, and the Lord hath not sent it? Surely the Lord God will do nothing without revealing His secret unto His servants the prophets. The lion has roared, who will not fear? the Lord God has spoken, who can but prophesy?"
God has sent us a prophet in these last days, as Jesus promised in Matthew 17:11, "Elijah will truly come, before My physical return, and before the two witnesses to Israel, and he'll restore ALL things spoken by the mouth of all God's holy prophets since the world began." In other words, His Message will be the FULLNESS of the Word. It will be Christ in WORD Form.
Peter said, "Jesus Christ must remain in heaven UNTIL the restoration of the FULLNESS of the Word" (Acts 3:20-21). This FULLNESS will bring His Bride under pre-eminence, separated from man-made creed and tradition, for the manifestation of the Sons of God. After the translation, a remnant from Israel will receive the FULLNESS, then after Armageddon, the world will restore itself for the Millennium.
Most churches can't preach the coming of a prophet in this day for the same reason most ministers can't preach the whole Word of God. They'd condemn themselves, and their organization which would kick them out. They're not anticipating a restoration of the Word today, or of the world for the Millennium. They have their own plans that exclude God, for they exclude His Word, and the Bible IS God in the form of paper and ink. They're trying to build Satan's Eden.
We know Jesus called His Church a "LITTLE Flock". That sure lets a billion plus denominational Christians out of the Gospel Net. He said, "STRAIT is the gate and NARROW the way, and but FEW there be that find It". The prophets God sent BEFORE Calvary -- from Abel to John the Baptist were ALL rejected; many were killed. Jesus said He'd send prophets AFTER Pentecost, and they'd also be rejected. Many, such as Peter, Jude and Paul, would be killed.
Little wonder that the LAST Word prophet God promised to the Gentiles before the end of our dispensation should be rejected WITH His Message which calls God's people OUT from ALL man-made religion. Revelation 18:4, "Come out of MYSTERY Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth, or YOU'LL be punished WITH her, during the tribulation".
The effect of this Message is seen in Matthew 25:5-7, "ALL the virgins slumbered and slept through the Seven Church Ages, while the Bridegroom delayed His return. At midnight came the SHOUT of I Thessalonians 4:16 and Revelation 18:4, It was the MESSAGE of OUR prophet in THIS day: "Behold the Bridegroom, Come OUT of Babylon and be FILLED with the Spirit"! Then ALL of those virgins, both wise and foolish, arose and trimmed their lamps".
We SEE by faith or Spiritual revelation of the Word, NOT by sight. Their "lamps" signified their faith. These virgins had been trying to walk by the glow of denominational creeds, instead of the pure Light of God's unchanging Word. Repenting of this ERROR which kept them from SEEING the Word, they received the RESTORATION Message by William Branham, the PROPHET God sent in OUR day.
The Message of the SEVENTH angel, or prophet-messenger to the last or Laodicean Church Age was the SHOUT of the Rapture, calling both wise and foolish virgins OUT from denominationalism. If you're one of these virgins, you'll receive the midnight shout and come out of Babylon. Obviously, denominations won't recognize him.
Let's tie this Light in with a few more Scriptures. We know that God is Light, and that Jesus is that Light manifested in flesh. Jesus is the Light of the world. And if we're truly born-again, we are the children of Light. Those not born of God are the children of Darkness.
Speaking of His "parousia" in Matthew 24, Jesus said, "Do NOT look for a Man, My Coming will be UNIVERSAL. Do NOT look for Me in some secret place, or in the desert, for as LIGHTNING comes out of the East, and shines even to the West; so shall the Coming or parousia of the Son of man be". In other words, the SAME Spiritual Light or faith that was revealed to the Apostolic saints at Jerusalem in the East, will be RESTORED in the West.
Do we look for a MAN? No! ... no, NO!!! We look for LIGHT on the Word. What did Jesus say the virgins of Matthew 25 would see? A Man? NO! Light. Spiritual REVELATION: faith, or understanding of God's Word. Jesus said He would build His Church upon the rock of Spiritual revelation, or LIGHT on the Word.
Now, the Gospel Light arose in the East. The MORNING of the church was in Jerusalem. It traveled around the world, and It sets in the EVENING time, or West. The Gentile world then enters the DARKNESS of APOSTASY for the Tribulation. God takes His LITTLE church Home, and turns to Israel.
First God must RESTORE the END-time Church BACK to the faith of their Pentecostal fathers. Peter said, the Word of God comes only to a prophet, so God must send us a prophet to restore the one and only faith, or understanding, once delivered unto the apostolic saints. Amos, Joel, Malachi, Jesus, Matthew, Peter, and John, all promised us a PROPHET in the and-time.
The prophet Zechariah said, '"Before the earthquake signals the end of the Gentile dispensation, the Gospel will be so perverted by reprobate teachers -- ever learning but never able to come to the KNOWLEDGE of the Truth, (or the FAITH of Jesus Christ) -- that Light shall not be CLEAR nor DARK. There'll just be a confusion of different denominations preaching their private interpretations of God's UNCHANGING Word, AGAINST the one and ONLY faith. But it shall come to pass that at the EVENING time it shall be Light".
Glory! Praise God. That ties in EXACTLY with the Words of Jesus in Matthew 24. We're NOT to look for a Man. We're to look for LIGHT on the FULLNESS of the Word. Paul said in I Corinthians 13, "When that which is PERFECT is come -- the FULLNESS of the Word -- Christ -- part-Word and theological guesswork shall be done away".
The EVENING Messenger was the prophet to the Seventh, or Laodicean Church Age. He's did TWO things. ONE: According to Malachi 4 he RESTORED the hearts of the children to their fathers. TWO: He REVEALED the mysteries of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which are the revelations contained in the Seven Seals. It will be THESE Divinely revealed "mystery-truths", that literally TURN the hearts of the children to the Pentecostal fathers. Exactly so.
The revelation of the Seventh Seal brought Christ back to earth in WORD Form. As John the Baptist foreran Christ's FIRST Coming, the commission of Brother Branham was to introduce His SECOND Coming, or "parousia".
Oh, what a Message! No wonder we've had a dark world of theology. But in the EVENING time there IS Light again. There will be a RESURRECTION in the evening time. It shall be LIGHT in the evening time, the SAME Light that shone in the morning time, the ORIGINAL Word, the ORIGINAL faith has been restored, to call out Christ's Bride -- for the manifestation of the Sons of God, and the translation.
Where did the Light shine in THIS day? In the EVENING time, in the WEST, at the setting of the Gospel Age. Yes, It was revealed to a prophet in America, a humble little man educated only to seventh grade in primary school. His name was William Branham. You can read about him in books by his critics -- available from any Bible Bookstore. Can any good thing come out of America? Why not do like Nathanael, "Come and see for yourself". radio017.html
