"We focus on the PRESENT Truth -- what Jesus is doing NOW . . ." ISSN 1442-8660
Once again we greet you in the wonderful Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Like the Prodigal son (Luke 15), the Western, once Christian world, has taken the material benefits of Sonship, and departed far from the Lord Jesus. It foolishly squandered its gifts until a famine for hearing true revelation has struck the world. It is so backslidden, that like a dog to its vomit or a sow to its wallow, its forced itself upon the ungodly for fellowship through the UN and WCC, feeding on their Judaic communism, humanism, denominational creeds, and traditions.
There is no place of repentance for our once Christian society, but God is calling to individuals to come out of the World and into Christ (Revelation 18:4). When a man sins, instead of confessing before God, he'll try to hide behind some man-made religion, like Adam's fig leaf. But when he repents, confessing his mistakes and lays hold on God's grace and the Spiritual birthright, he is reunited with the Father, like the Prodigal son.
God was grieving for His lost boy. Hunting and searching for the son. When the son came to himself and repented, he was searching for His Father. If you've gone astray from the heavenly Way, lay down your pride and self-seeking, and humble yourself for the grace of God. None of us is worthy . . . outside His grace.
Thanks for your precious fellowship. Enjoy this Newsletter and confirm everything personally in your own Bible. . . . Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony

Despite their chastening under Six Trumpet judgments "the third part of men (and their impersonators) who were not killed by the plagues of the Sixth Trumpet still refuse to worship God, not renouncing their demon-worship, nor their idols ... Nor repenting of their murders and witchcraft, fornication and theft" (Revelation 9:21-22).

Patriot Dentist Out of Jail
Sydney, February 29, 2000 -- Two of three judges in the NSW Court of Appeal ruled to convert the two-year non-parole sentence handed down by Chief Justice Wood without a jury on November 9, 1999 to 3 months and 20 days. John Wilson was released from the court. (This Judge recommended the legal age of consent for homosexual sex be reduced to 16, measures that would effectively legalize Dope, and on his recommendation, the highly effective NSW Police Drug Squad was disbanded).
The conviction itself was not overturned. Therefore, our fundamental right to trial by jury remains denied. (Original report -- Net Censorship and the Ministry of Truth http://members/xoom.com/biblebelieve/nl097.htm ).
Our High Court Judges used to say "trial by jury is the palladium (safeguard) of liberty". Whatever the price of freedom is, the banks have obviously bought it. http://www.rightsandwrong.com.au/

The Thyatira Church Age
The Gentile dispensation commenced on the Day of Pentecost, when the 120 original members of the Church were born-again in an upper room. Yet few who call on the lovely Name of our Lord Jesus today, realize that the Gentile dispensation was typed by the Jews' Feast of Pentecost, in Leviticus 23. And like that Feast, it has within itself, nine separate and distinct dispensations.
Christ's building a temple, a house in which God can dwell through eternity. And there are several turns in the walls of the house so they will eventually meet and enclose the living space. Most people, however, forget He's building a house, and when He makes a turn, they ignore the instructions in his plan, the Bible, and keep on erecting their wall as if He were building a fence.
At the end of each of the Seven Church Ages in Revelation 1 to 3, there was a turn. Once God completed the last saint predestinated to an Age, He began to unfold a further revelation of Jesus Christ through the ministry of another earthly "angel" or messenger. The people predestinated to this further part of the Body of Christ, or house of God, heard the Message for their day; and their faith baptized them into this continuation of the Body. Those imprisoned in denominational walled cities kept impersonating the Word for a day gone by, extending the line of a wall that was already complete -- building outside the plan for God's House, and outside the Body of Christ.
Picture a house with nine walls, and the workers laying bricks in seven different directions at once -- beyond the dimensions of the plan! If each Church Age represented a corner or turn in the walls of God's House, they'd be outside the boundaries of the land. If they failed to follow a turn at the dispensation changes of the past 2,000 years, they'd be building on the Devil's land.
That's a picture of the church today, (so-called). Denominations! They can't agree among themselves. All of them disagree with God's Word for this hour. Yet the end of the wall must meet up with the beginning. The Omega faith of the end-time Bride must match the Alpha faith of the Apostolic saints. In Revelation 1:8, Jesus says He is Alpha and Omega. The SAME Gospel Light that shone in the morning of the church is RESTORED in the evening-time. He's the Word, NOT what was in-between: that was ERROR Paul calls "that which was in part." As a Mediator, Christ interceded for these errors taught in His Name. He is NOT a Mediator now.
Do you see it? The Great Master Builder had to send us a prophet in these last days, to restore the Apostolic faith, to give us the same interpretation of His plan, His Bible, as was once delivered to the saints. That's what Joel, Malachi, Jesus, Matthew, and Acts promised. "Elijah truly shall come before the end of the Gentile dispensation, and restore all things God has already spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began." And he came. His name was William Branham. His ministry did restore the faith.
Oh, how we should search the Scriptures -- God's plan for His dwelling Place -- "that City not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." The only way we can become the living Temple of the living God, is to recognize OUR day, and ITS Message, and see THAT part of the Word manifesting through us. We can't be a part of the Sardis Age in THIS day. The Lutherans, Anglicans, and Presbyterians made up that part of Christ's Body hundreds of years ago. Neither can we become part of the Philadelphian Age in this day. That part was completed by Methodist, Baptist and other holiness groups in 1906. And we can't be baptized into the Pentecostal or Laodicean part of the Body, which was completed before the revelation of the Seven Seals in 1963.
Oh, my Brother or Sister, search the Scriptures. Find out what God is doing now. All seven Church Ages are over. Christ's mediation has ended. He's sent His prophet in our day. The mystery of God IS finished. Christ is calling His Bride OUT from ALL man-made teachings, into oneness with His Word, for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation.
Today, we're going to review the Thyatira Age which lasted from 606-1520, and is more generally known to historians by the descriptive title of "the Dark Ages". The "angel" to Thyatira was St. Columba.
He who controls the past controls the future, because if we do not know our roots and historical truth, we can have no foundation for progress, and will continue to reinvent the wheel. This is taking place today in a psyop designed to remove the ancient boundaries and create chaos out of which our deceptive masters plan to build a new world order.
So much of what we have been taught to believe as history -- both church and secular, is Establishment tradition at best, and not based upon fact. It may more accurately be described as a deliberate deception by Satan's synagogue in their constant quest for absolute power through mind control. Once again, those things which have been regarded as moral and Spiritual absolutes among all cultures and races, have been brought into question as the Enemy seeks to divide and conquer by gender, age, race and religion.
We're studying Church history because if we can recognize the scriptures which are already fulfilled, we can discover what God promised He would perform in OUR day, instead of IMPERSONATING the Word for a day gone by.
With a state and church union, the stage was set for the Dark Ages. And indeed for about 1,000 years the church went into the depth of blackness, knowing the depths of Satan.
What did Jesus say produced this apostacy? What but NICOLAITANISM and BALAAMISM. Nicolaitanism was the establishment of a HIERARCHY within the clergy wherein men exercised authority over each other, and standing between God and His people, they usurped the laity of their God-given liberty. This, Jesus hates.
Balaamism is SUBSTITUTION. As Balaam substituted his own will and teaching for the clearly revealed Word of God, the false vine church usurped the faith of Jesus Christ with their creeds and man-made traditions.
When a religious people embrace both Nicolaitanism and Balaamism, and have the political, financial and physical power to back it up, there is only one direction they can go. That direction is right into the Jezebel doctrine. Now why do we say this? Because as we learn studying this Fourth Age, Jezebel was a Sidonian, (as Benjamin Disraeli identified the Rothschilds), the daughter of Ethbaal, who was king-priest to the goddess Astarte. And he was a murderer. This woman married King Ahab of Israel for political expediency. She then took over the religion of the people, murdered the Levites, and erected temples wherein she caused the people to worship Astarte (or Venus), and Baal (the Sun god). She formulated the teaching, made her priests teach it, and they in turn, made the people accept it. (Like President Clinton and her husband).
There, you can see exactly what the nominal church was in the Dark Ages. They'd left the Word of God entirely, except for names and titles of Godhead, and a few Scriptural principles. They bent what they did take out of the Bible, by changing its meaning. Their college of bishops wrote huge essays. Their popes declared themselves infallible, and saying they received revelation from God, they spoke as God to the people. This was all taught to the priests, who made the people believe it through fear.
To dissent was death, or excommunication, which might be worse. It was now the church with the assured voice that took over. Wild with power they drank the blood of the martyrs, until the true Christians were all but exterminated and there was hardly any Word left, and little manifestation of the Holy Ghost. But the true vine struggled and survived. God was faithful to His little flock, and in spite of what Rome might do to their bodies, Rome could not kill the spirit within them, and the Light of the Truth shone on, backed by the Holy Ghost and power.
This is a good place, to make an illuminating observation:
Look. The deeds and doctrines of the Nicolaitanes, the doctrine of Balaam, and the teaching of the false prophetess, Jezebel, do not constitute three spirits or make three spiritual principles. These are but three manifestations of the same spirit, as it goes from depth to depth. What it all is, is the antichrist spirit of organization in three stages that consummate in Satan incarnate in the man of sin at the close of the Gentile dispensation.
Once the clergy separated themselves and organized themselves, they oppressed the people by leading them into and binding them to organization. Organization based upon creeds and dogma, which they taught the people, instead of the pure Word of God.
Ritual and ceremony was given an increasing part in worship. Soon this whole system, was a militant and diabolical power that did its best to control all, through the persuasion of discourse -- or literal force. It received its energy from its own false prophecies, and not the Word of God. It was now absolutely antichrist, though it came in Christ's Name.
After what seemed an interminable time, wherein Truth must surely die, men began to protest the vileness of the Roman Catholic church, because by no stretch of the imagination could God be in such teaching, and such conduct. The protests were disregarded, and died from failure to arouse attention, or were quashed by Rome. Then at the close of Thyatira, God in His sovereign grace sent a messenger by the name of Martin Luther to start a reformation.
In our next Newsletter we'll speak about the Reformation of the Roman Catholic system of worship that began with Luther in the Sardis Church Age, was continued by John Wesley in the Philadelphian Church Age, and ended in the Laodicean, or Pentecostal Church Age. Then the Message of the prophet- messenger to Laodicea restored the apostolic faith to bring us into agreement with the fullness of the revealed Word, calling Christ's end-time Bride out from Rome and her Protestant daughter churches, for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation.
The Reformation was fine as far as it went, but it did not go far enough. Through the Dark Ages, the faith or understanding of God's Bible was lost. That faith had been in the hearts of God's saints, the true Church, and It went to the grave with them when they were martyred by the false church. The Reformers sought only to take the church back to the First Nicea Council, where the Roman system of worship was introduced. They failed to take the church back to Pentecost and the one and only faith of Jesus Christ.
Christ established only one Church, and He recognizes only one Church. That's the Church He founded on the Day of Pentecost. Now can you see why God had to send us a prophet? The Word of God comes only to a prophet, not to reformers or theologians. The Fullness of the Word had to be restored, to bring Christ's end-time Bride under pre-eminence to the Word for the manifestation of the Sons of God, to condemn the world and bring it to judgment for rejecting that Word.
Remember, no man was worthy to open the Book or even look thereon. And so long as the Book was sealed with Seven Seals, we were all IGNORANT of the perfect faith. Until Christ opened the Seals, and revealed their mysteries through His prophet, He had to remain a Mediator for PART-Word. He mediated for the IGNORANCE of the saints. So long as the Book was closed, the saints were ignorant and men guessed at the meaning of much of God's Word.
God would be unjust to bring judgment while the Book was sealed. Today that Book is open, and the mystery has been revealed through his prophet in this day. The world and the worldly false vine church are indicted, and are uniting together against Christ. By their works, they will go into the tribulation, and the nuclear holocaust of Armageddon. By her faith, Christ's Bride will change in the atoms without death, and go to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the Sky.
Revelation 10:7 says, "Before the seventh TRUMPET angel sounds the END the Gentile dispensation, the Mystery of God will be of finished by the seventh Church Age angel or last messenger to the Gentiles."
The Seventh Trumpet sounds the end of the Gentile dispensation! It calls the first Resurrection, the manifestation of the Sons of God, our body change and translation to the Wedding Supper in the Sky. It then calls 144,000 elect Israelites to the Feast of Trumpets by the preaching of their two prophets.
But before any of this can take place, the angel to the Seventh Church Age must "finish the mystery of God." God cannot return to Israel until, first He finishes dealing with the Gentiles. And He can't finish with the Gentiles until He's RESTORED the faith.
When the Seventh angel sounded his Message of RESTORATION (Malachi 4:5-6; Acts 3:19-23), all Seven Church Ages were OVER and Christ's ministry of Mediation for ERROR and IGNORANCE was complete. That was in 1963, when Revelation 4, 5 and 10:1-7 were fulfilled. Since the revelation of the Seven Seals, we now have the perfect interpretation of the Word (I Corinthians 13:10). Christ is present here NOW -- in WORD Form. The revelation of Seals is the FULLNESS of the Word -- It is Christ. radio024.html
Homework: I would like you to continue reading The Nameless War by Captain A.H.M. Ramsay, a book that should be prescribed reading in all schools. Our on-line version is abridged; nonetheless, it provides an easily read historical background which will prepare us to understand God's Word in upcoming Newsletters.
