The very foundations of America, the New Jerusalem and New Zion as spoken of in the Scriptures. The apostle wrote that "it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." [1]

We are still in His hands and the lash of correction will continue to be felt until it accomplishes its end. The day will come when the people will give voice to the words spoken through the Prophet Hosea: "Come, and let us return unto the Lord; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up." [2] Our God, the Holy One in the midst of Israel, will yet have the salute of our banners and the allegiance of all the people. Great voices in heaven have already proclaimed what will become an actual reality. [3]

In Search of Isaac’s Children is an attempt to deal with and explain an extensive group of Bible passages which are seldom or never mentioned in our Judeo-Christian pulpits, but which, nevertheless, are prophecies so clear and definite, that, if the Bible is the Word of God, must be fulfilled; for they are the declared purposes of Yahweh as revealed in His Word concerning His Israel people, the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and kindred people.

If men can write across these “untrue,” what about His other words? If these things, the fulfillment of which should be patent to all mankind, turn out a cheat and a fraud, how can man have confidence in any other words or promises of the same Speaker, even though He claims to be Divine?

It is the intention of this book to prove that the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Celtic peoples are Israel, and what God has in store for them upon His return. This has been done by many others, in so many words, in other books but none so conclusively. His will be taken here and proven; and the tremendous things which arise there from will be shown; not, however, secret things, for they are reveled; but most assuredly unknown things, though awful and world-wide in their effect; and which closely concern every man and woman in this great nation.

The news that we are Israel falls upon the ears of some as a glad evangel; they accept it the first time they hear it; but as for others, no amount of proof is sufficient for them! They do not want to know it. And the great revealing will come to them as an overwhelming surprise! But we cannot wait for them. For if the news of the great upheaval; which is immediately before us, is withheld till all know that we are Israel, it will never be told till the great cataclysm itself is right upon us. So we must tell you what we know, if it is believed or not.

No book in the world has been so misrepresented as the Bible. No other book has had such liberties taken with its statements. No other book has had its writings and teachings so altered to suit men’s theories. Men nowadays do not come to the Bible to ask what it has to say. That is much too simple, and they believe themselves much too clever. They come with their theories ready formed, hoping to find in the Bible some confirmation of them; and if they cannot find it, they alter the Word to suit. If man is avowed to pervert the names of the Bible, “Israel,” “Jacob,” “Ephraim,” “Manessah,” “Judah,” “Jerusalem,” “Zion,” and substitute any name they like; or if they are allowed to explain away the facts and prophecies concerning them as figures or symbols, and then bring in his own ideas as to what is meant by those symbols, then we might as well close the Book, it has no clear message for us.

Take this as an example. One Judeo-Christian minister says the word “Jerusalem” means “the church:” another says it means “the world:” another says it means “heaven.” Such loose dealing with Scripture is reprehensible, and violates man’s sense of truth and honesty. A modern scientist in a letter gave many the shock of their lives when he said: “The Bible can be made to prove anything.” And if the Scripture is dealt with on the lines indicated above, then he was right. But woe be to the man who thus perverts the plain statements of the Word, or explains away it no symbolism a definite prophecy or statement of fact. So, then, the things that will be said or written herein may not be according to the books or theories of men.

The man, however clever he may be, who seeks to solve any problem while leaving out the greatest factor cannot arrive at a correct solution. The man who seeks to interpret prophecy, but who leaves out of his reckoning the great outstanding fact of the age, the Redemption and Restoration of Lost Israel, will be utterly wrong in his conclusions. This Redemption and Restoration is predicated in Scripture in many places, and by God Himself; so it must be taken into account, or disastrous error will be the results. Therefore, if you please, we will leave all but selected parts of mens books, and all the theories of men, and confine our investigations to God’s Book for there alone is The Truth.

It is our desire to touch these vital and sacred things with the deepest reverence; not venturing to assert positively, but offering for the patient consideration of readers the strange discovery which has been forced upon him by the earnest study of the Word.

It would appear that this Age is near, and the next one upon us; and it is with the changing of the Age, the great Turnover, that it is intended to deal, showing the serious events of the time; who they come to; how they come; with the result; show that they are for Israel alone. Let it be said here, that while the word “Israel” in these articles sometimes cover the whole Thirteen Tribes, yet it is used principally to indicate the Ten-Tribes, house of Israel banished to Assyria, around 721 B.C.; and which never returned, but became lost among the nations, and is now discovered in the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic, Nordic peoples: The White Race.

The Scriptures plainly show that there is a time to come wen God abandons all secrecy, and arises out of His pace publicly to acknowledge in the eyes of all the nations His long-lost people “Israel.” Thus, it is possible to ascertain from the predictions of Scripture how God will reveal Himself; and what methods He will use to tear aside the veil and open the blind eyes of Israel herself? This is a very serious question, and one of intrinsic importance.

Most assuredly God will reveal Himself to Israel, fully, unreservedly, and before all the nations, and in such a manner that all the world will know it. “The Lord hath made bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.” [4] “And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.” [5]

But how will He make Himself known? Do the Scriptures tell us? “The Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” [6] Then, if that is true, the information we seek is revealed in God’s Word.

Evidently there comes a time, a day, an hour, when God hides Himself no longer, but bursts on Israel, and possibly the world, with some extraordinary and miraculous manifestation. God, through the prophet Isaiah, speaking of this very time, says: “Yet my race shall acknowledge my power, On the day when I come, and exclaim, Here I am.” [7] Whether this means that God will speak to us with a literal voice is not certain; but if not, then it must mean that all will know that it is God who has spoken.

When of old God spoke by audible voice to Israel, they were so terrified, that they said to Moses, “Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.” The record continues, “And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.” [8]

But God does not say He will speak to us this time second-hand. “Therefore my people shall know...in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.” [9] And again,”I will make myself known among them (Israel), when I have judged thee (Edom).” [10] This appears first-hand. And most assuredly now there is no Moses to come between. Whatever God’s method will be, He Himself will be the Actor, and a the world the audience. When God speaks this time, Israel has got to hear.

It is distinctly stated in Scripture, in quite a number of places, that a terrible literal punishment will come upon the wicked before the end of the world, and either at or immediately before the second stage of Christ’s coming; and in every case the punishment is by fire. This does not in any sense refer to the final punishment of the lost. It has no reference whatever to Hell or Hades. It is on this earth, while men are living. Notice a few passages: “Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and horrible tempest: This shall be the portion of their cup!” [11] The marginal reading, however, its more pronounced still: “Upon the wicked he shall rain quick burning coals, fire and brimstone, and a burning tempest, this shall be the portion of their cup.” Don’t say this is figurative, and try to explain it away. Remember the narrow escape of Lot from Sodom. If he had told the Angel that his warning was only figurative he would have perished in that wicked city

Turn to Isaiah 30, where the prophet writes of the restoration of Israel and God’s punishment for her enemies:”Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire...to sift the nations>” (Not Israel; “the nations”) “with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people (Ferror Fenton says “pagan”) causing them to err.” [12] This is what is coming upon the heathen or pagans.

Mark in the next verse the contrasted treatment which falls on “Israel.” For in connection with this punishment of the wicked nations there is associated a great and miraculous deliverance of some people who, as will be afterwards proven, are none other than Israel: “Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.” [13] That is Israel’s portion: and it contrasts significantly with the punishment of the heathen in the previous verse.

The following verse reads: “And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, and scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.” [14]

This is not the end of the world; for Israel is preserved in safety through it all. “Ye shall have a song, as in the nigh...and gladness of heart.” [15] But to the heathen, “The flame of a devouring fire,” and “scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.” [16]

All those who read this should remember that well-known passage, “For 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, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” [17] The previous verse, however, is most ominous, and tells us clearly what comes before the seizing of the Kingdom. “For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be burning and fuel of fire!” [18] That is the introduction to His Kingdom.

Please do not take this figurative. The “battle,” the “noise,” the “garments rolled in blood,” are all literal. So must be the “turning,” and the “fuel of fire.” And here, as in every other place, it comes just before the reigning of the Prince of Peace on the throne of David, and upon His Kingdom.

This terrible time is referred to in Isaiah 13:10-13: “For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity...Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of Hosts, and in the day of His fierce anger.” Observe all this punishment is upon the wicked while they are still upon the earth; and the signs in the heavens come immediately before it. [19]

Isaiah 24:18-23 confirms all his: “...for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited. Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.”

This is the second stage of the Lord’s coming. Even then, though the earth is shaken, and reels to and fro like a drunkard, it is not destroyed. For the Lord comes to reign in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem immediately afterwards. The seemingly strange passages of Scripture have been utterly neglected by the Judeo-Christian clergy. They do not refer to the punishment of the wicked. It is upon this earth, and while men are living.

Malachi 4:1 has exactly the same announcement: “For, behold, the day cometh (It is not plural, it is one certain appointed day) that shall burn as an oven (R.V. says “furnace”), and all the proud, yea and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh (One certain day again) shall burn them up, saith the Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.” Twice this passage announces the burning; and the wicked are to be “stubble,” not “as stubble,” and the close shows that neither root nor branch is left; utter destruction.

Notice, however, the contrast in Malachi 4:2; “But the Sun of Righteousness will shine forth to you with restoration on His wings; and you shall be brought out, and sport like a bullock from the stall, and tread down the wicked, for they will be dust under your feet, on the day when I perform it, saith the Lord of Hosts.” (Ferror Fenton) If the burning is literal, mark how fitting is that word “dust.” And the A.V. says:”Ashes under the soles of your feet,” thus strangely confirming the literal interpretation of the words, “burn them up.”

But of Israel it says: “Ye shall go forth (Go forth! Where from? From some place where she had been hidden in safety) and gambol as calves of the stall.” This is Israel’s wild rejoicing at her miraculous deliverance in the day of the punishment of the wicked nations. If, however, it be said that all this was spoken to the nations, or Christian Church, we immediately ask, “Where does it say so? The words”you,” “your,” of Malachi 4:2-3, 5 clearly show to whom God is speaking, for the while of Malachi was written to Israel as Chapter 1:1 says:”The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.”

Chapter 4:4, corroborates, showing that the whole message is to Israel, not to the other nations or races on earth: “Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.” this could not mean the other nations or races; for the law had nothing to say to them. Verse 5 confirms all this: “Behold, I will end you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord” Elijah is coming to “Israel,” not to the other races.

So in this short chapter God announces a marvelous deliverance for Israel when the wicked nations are destroyed, which deliverance is so wonderful as to cause them to gambol as calves, or sport as a bullock released from the stall when the danger is past and over. Whatever can that deliverance be?

There is in Isaiah 26 one of the most puzzling passages of Scripture for the Judeo-Christians; verse 15 says: “Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord, thou hast increased the nation...Thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.” [20] This increased nation that had spread to the ends of the earth could only refer to Israel. To this same Israel, God gives a strange command. “Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.” [21]

This strange and mysterious command has sometimes been explained to mean: “Get out from all foreign entanglements: let the other peoples make war, but come you away out of it” That explanation did very well till World War II proved its incorrectness. Further, most surely we shall be in the last war of all, for then nearly all our soldiers will be in Palestine and around the world, in the war of Armageddon, and cannot come home!

So, then, we would beg to offer a new and more literal explanation of this singular passage. Israel is there bidden to hide from some impending calamity; and her escape corresponds exactly with the unexpected and delightful release from threatening disaster descried in Malachi 4:1-2, where God addresses His people, and says that after the destruction of the wicked His people shall be brought out and sport (R.V. says gambol) as calves, or sport like a bullock released from the stall. A very vivid and thrilling picture of some future deliverance which is to come to God’s people Israel.

If the marginal references to Isaiah 26:20, be referred o, they will take us back to Exodus 12:22-23, the record of the first Passover; when God slew all the firstborn of Egypt, the firstborn of man, the firstborn of cattle; when Israel, for her safety, was bidden to hide behind her doors; the stern command being: “None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.” Then, when the Destroying Angel passed through the land of Egypt at night to smite all Egypt’s firstborn, God stood over Israel, and saved them with a great deliverance. That deliverance extended to every man and every woman, and every child, and even to their cattle. It was, further:”But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast (Here we can see, once again, that God distinguishes between the cattle and the beast of the earth; therefore, the beast of the earth is a humanoid and no an animal): that ye may know how that the Lord doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.” [22]

We most humbly and reverently suggest that in those verses of Isaiah 24; Scripture reveals a similar miracle, a similar deliverance, and to the same people, “Israel,” and is yet future. Just as of old every Israelite was safe behind his God-guarded door, so again a like deliverance, apparently, will be granted to them when God arises to shake terribly the earth, and to smite and punish the wicked nations.

This will be a second Passover, and one far more wonderful, more amazing in its deliverance, and more terrible in is punishment than the first! It comes to the same people, Israel, and if we are Israel, to us, who, if obedient to the command to hide will, like Israel of old, be again miraculously preserved; and this time through the most tremendous upheaval the world has ever seen. The very next verse describes it: “For behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.”

This is the cataclysm from which Israel is saved, and which, as will be proven later, brings her to her senses. This also is the close of Jacob’s trouble, and the time of his marvelous deliverance. Please note also, that this cannot be a command to the Church to hide. The True Church out of all nations will have previously ascended to meet her Lord. in the air: for the very first act of the first stage of Christ’s second advent is the ascension of the saints.

Strange to say, this command of God to hide is preceded in the previous verse by a resurrection: “Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.” [23] Then follows immediately this stern command to hide; all wonderfully confirming what has been advanced before. In those verses of Isaiah we have God covering Israel with His hand while He smites the earth for its iniquity.

Psalm 46:1-2 deals with the same astounding things. This Psalm is wholly prophetic; and none of it is yet fulfilled. It deals exclusively with the happenings of the last days: and refers most distinctly to this same destruction of the wicked, and the deliverance and preservation of Israel. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present hep in trouble. Therefore will not we fear; though the earth be removed, and though the mountains (nations) be carried into the midst of the sea.”

This corresponds exactly with the predictions of Isaiah: “The windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. The earth is utterly broken down...The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage.” [24]

However, the fifth Psalm speaks of a city in which God is; and, of this city, even in spite of the reeling earth and the rocking of the mountains, it says: “It shall not be moved.” [25] An immovable city! How comes this steadfastness amid the convulsions of the material world? The same verse tells us: “God is in the midst of her, God shall help her.” [26] She is held firm in her place by the hand of Almighty God.

Where is this city? To what dos it refer? It is not heaven. Heaven needs no miracle to keep her quiet; no convulsions of earth can every rock the pillars of Heaven; there is no need to tell us that Heaven shall not be moved; it is the abode of God Almighty. Nor would there be any sense in telling us that God shall help heaven and that right early. It would be ridiculous.

It is speaking about some people and some country upon this earth; for immediately afterwards it says; “Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.” [27] It is speaking of some people who are God’s people, and of whom it could truthfully be said, “God is in the midst of her.” It is manifestly speaking of Israel, for in scores of places in the Book does it speak of God dwelling with, or in the midst of Israel, as He never dwelt with any other people.

Let’s look at one or two, Joel 2:27: “And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else.”; Zechariah 3:14: “Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel...the King of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee thou shalt not see evil any more.”; Zechariah 2:5: “For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her (Jerusalem) a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.”; Zechariah 2:10: Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.”; Ezekiel 34:30: “Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they (Who? The Church? NO!) Even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord God.”; Ezekiel 37:27-28: “My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.” These passages are as overwhelmingly decisive as they are utterly delightful. Now we may know who this city represents. It is God’s own favored long-loved people Israel. “God is in the midst of her, God shall help her, and that right early.” But look at the margin; for here is a revelation indeed; it reads: “God shall help her, when the morning appeareth.” How strange.

If, however, we examine Ferror Fenton’s translation it is more wonderful still: “God confronts at break of the day!” R.V., margin says: “At the dawn of morning.” Whatever does this mean? We take it to mean that Israel; the White Race, obedient to God’s command in Isaiah 26:20, hiding in their chambers all night, as of yore in Egypt, will be saved amid the convulsions of the earth and the rocking of the mountains (nations); and that in the morning, overcome with joy at so marvelous and so miraculous a deliverance, they will come out of their chambers with songs of thanksgiving, dancing and gamboling in their delight and gratitude, as calves released from the stall. We take it that that is the time, the place, and the manner of Israel’s conversion!

The whole nation, moved as with one common impulse, will throng every place of worship (If they are left standing) and with one common purpose: The dedication of themselves wholly and for ever to God, for such a wonderful and miraculous preservation, undeserved and altogether unmerited: And then and there every denominational controversy will be swallowed up in the deliverance.

This is strikingly shown in Isaiah 27:9: “By this will Jacob’s sin be cured; Its evil fruit be set aside: His stone Altars burnt and turned to lime, Nor Groves and Idols raised again.” [28]

The King James version reads: “By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.”

Other passages of Scripture seem to assert that the conversion of every man, woman and child in Israel, come in one day. God says through Zechariah 3:9: “I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.” Now, remarkable to relate, Babylon is to be destroyed in a single day: and Israel is to be saved in a single day. Further, a comparison of the prophecies proves that it is the same day! The day of the Babylon destruction is the day of Israel’s salvation!

Isaiah 47:9 says of Babylon: “But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.” Ferror Fenton translates it: “Both shall arrive at a stroke, and in a single day.” Revelation 18:8, says of Great Babylon: “Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, and she shall be utterly burned with fire.” That is Great Babylon’s destruction; now look at Israel’s salvation:”And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.”

Further, Isaiah 66:7-8, says of Zion: “Before she was anguished, she childed, Before she came to her torture, She brought forth a son! Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen it like that? For the earth to produce in a day? In a moment a Nation be born? Thus Zion travailed, Thus brought forth her sons!” [29]

So, then, the time of Zion’s anguish is to be exceedingly short; “A day,” “A moment,” “In one day.” And Psalm 46:5 says: “God comforts at bread of the day.”[30] What deep secrets of the Divine Mind are here? “Remove the iniquity of that land in one day!” “A Nation born at once.”

Jeremiah tells us that the time is to come when every man, woman, and child in Israel will know the Lord: and surely a miracle will be required to accomplish it. “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” [31]

This is one of the most amazing covenants which the great Book contains. It is made with, as it says, “The house of Israel,” and no one in the world has any authority to take it from that house and give it to another; and it is remarkable how minutely it agrees with and fits into the conclusions already advanced. But see what the next verse is in the Psalm we are considering. It tells us what has happened to the nations: “The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved, he uttered his voice, the earth melted.” [32] There is a whole volume of future history in those four brief sentences, and it is all in the correct order. Now contrast that with what appears in the next verse: “The Lord of Hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge.” Please emphasize that word “us.” “The Lord of Hosts is with us.” A tremendous claim. Who is it that dares to say this?

In all this there is no boasting, but it is the cause of the songs in the night, the comforting at the break of day, and the rejoicing in the morning. but that is not all. Notice the next verse; it is amazing indeed: “Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.” [33]

As though the prophet was calling upon Israel, just released from her chambers and comforted by God at the break of day, to go abroad and view the desolations in the earth from which she had been saved. And desolations which God Himself had made.”Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations HE hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to ease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariot in the fire.” [34] An exact repetition of what Isaiah and Malachi have said. And that is the end of war.

When the wicked are punished, and their chariots burnt in the fire, God’s order is: “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” [35] Then there comes a claim which is presumption unparalleled if it is not true. For a second time there bursts forth that tremendous announcement, that amid all the uproar and the convulsions of nature, and the punishment of the wicked, there is a people exempt from it all, for God is among them: “The Lord of Hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge.”

These personal pronouns, “us” and “our” refer to some certain people. Who are they? It can only be the same Israel which God (In Isaiah 26:20) bids to hide in their chambers, and thus they are saved and delivered.

Let’s turn back for a moment to view the entire Psalm. What is the meaning of it? Is it all bombast and froth? NO! It is not! Are these words the wild statements of an unbalanced religious enthusiast? No! They are not even that. Then there are left two alternatives. Either they are the boastings of a man who sees these things will never come, and so, confident in their impossibility, ventures upon these boastings in order to magnify himself; or, they are the hope and expectation of a prophet who sees these things coming, and who, confident in the help of God to Israel, predicts for her a mighty and unparalleled deliverance. They are one or the other.

If this interpretation of Scripture is correct, we have here predicted in the Word of God the miraculous national preservation and conversion of Israel. Though, from our noted love of pleasure and our sin, it is very difficult to see how such a sweeping national conversion can ever be experienced. But it is absolutely certain that it will come, though it can only come by miracle.

Just before Isaiah closes his book of prophecy, God through him, refers to and confirms what has gone before: “As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you, and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb, and the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants (Remember, ‘Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified’ [36]) and his indignation toward his enemies.” [37]

This is undoubtedly the deliverance of Israel and the destruction of the wicked, as portrayed in Isaiah 11; 13; 14; 26; 30; Psalm 11; 46; Malachi 4, etc., and is confirmed by what follows here, for it continues: “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 will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.” [38]

This is again the destruction of the wicked; and the remaining verses, as well as those that have just been quoted, tell us who survive: “And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations...to my holy mountain (nation) Jerusalem...and I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord. For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.” [39] This, again, is the preservation of Israel through the great convulsions and changes of the material world. All this is strangely and terribly confirmed by the very last verse in the chapter: “And they shall go forth and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.”[40]

There are not many warnings in the Bible more clear than the following, which is a terrible prediction against the heathens: “Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears (i.e., alter all your instruments of husbandry into instruments of war): let the weak say, I am strong. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.” [41]

Then there comes that verse which has been so grossly misrepresented. “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision.” That is not the heathen being converted. It is the heathen collected to war with and to overthrow Israel, and God appearing for her help, and destroying the wicked heathen nations at Armageddon. Look at the next verse: “The Sun (Jacob) and the Moon (Rachel) shall be darkened, and the stars (tribes of Israel) shall withdraw their shining. The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake; but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. So shall ye know that I am the Lord you God dwelling in Zion...then shall Jerusalem be holy.” [42]

Here again we have God covering the children of Israel with His hand, while He destroys the heathen, amid great earth-changes the sun and the moon being darkened, and the stars having withdrawn their shining. It is also the time, not only of Israel’s preservation, but of God’s discovery of Himself to His people: “So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion,” [43] and Ezekiel, referring to the same period, says: “So the house of Israel shall know that I am their God, from that day forward.” [44] They do not know it now; and so it cannot mean the Church. But they shall know it then, and from that day and forward. There we have God abandoning all secrecy and openly taking His old place at the head of the Israel people; and the knowledge that God is their God is never to be lost any more. “From that day and forward.”

The terrible nature of the preceding quotations would seem to indicate some vast earth movement, some mighty internal convulsion far bigger and more awful than any earthquake, however great. It is against this earth upheaval that Israel is commanded to hide; and if we read the Scripture right, there will emerge from their appointed hiding place a race of new men, to commence a new age, in a new-born world.

New men, in that they are physically and divinely reinvigorated, so that their days are as the days of a tree; a New Age, in that all conditions will be improved mentally, morally, and spiritually; a New World, in that the whole material earth will be re-organized, and so utterly changed and transformed that the old earth “shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” [45]

Ezekiel 38:18-20, says: “...when Gog shall come against Israel, Surely there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel, so that the fishes of the sea, the fowls...the beasts...and all creeping things...and all men that are upon the face of the earth shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down...the steep places (or ‘towers,’ margin) shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.” All this (which is evidently the same great earth convulsion) coming on Gog while he is invading America, fixes very definitely when this great earthquake comes, and so fixes the time also of Israel’s danger and deliverance.

It is remarkable how little known is the Book of Esdras in the Apocrypha. Esdras undoubtedly was the prophet Ezra of the Old Testament. His genealogy is given in both books, and though not quite the same, is very nearly so. He was not only a great leader of God’s people, but a great prophet. For years many have regarded his books as inspired; and have ventured to say so to some Judeo-Christian ministers and to our very great surprise they immediately concurred. Our Lord’s test was: “By their fruits ye shall know them.” [46] And Esdras, tried by this test, is proven to be a prophet indeed. World War II is detailed in his book particularly. The chief combatants are there shown: the part we as a nation would take in that war; the final outcome; and the state in which it should leave our enemies. It does not, however, stop there, but goes on to tell the subsequent events; and conducts Israel, of which America is now the leader, right up to the Second Advent. It shows that Second Advent, and how our Lord will be received both by the world on the one hand, and by Israel on the other.

These predictions of 2 Esdras 13 are so distinct, so striking, and so little know, that no excuse is sought for bringing them in. They refer distinctly to the Second Advent of our Lord; and the time is called “The last days.” He is spoken of as a Man, and there was gathered together a multitude of men, out of number...from the four winds of heaven to subdue Him, and as all this multitude were assembled to fight our Lord, it says: “And, lo, as he saw the violence of the multitude that came, He neither lifted up His hand, nor held sword, nor any instrument of war; but only I saw that He sent out of His mouth as it had been a blast of fire, and out of His lips a flaming breath, and out of His tongue He cast out sparks and tempests. And they were all mixed together; the blast of fire, the flaming breath, and the great tempest; and fell with violence upon the multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned them up everyone, so that upon a sudden of an innumerable multitude nothing was to be perceived, but only dust and smell of smoke; when I saw this I was afraid.” [47]

This terrible passage is in most minute agreement with the previous quotations from Psalms, Isaiah, and Malachi; and in the interpretation of the vision which follows it is even more definite as to there being a people preserved in safety through it all, and declares most unmistakably who they are.

The very next verse says: “Afterward (that is, after the destruction of those that fought against Him) saw I the same man (God’s Son, as he explains later on) come down from the mountain, and call unto Him another peaceable multitude.” So that a certain people whom He calls “a peaceable multitude” are preserved through this awful and literal trial by fire; and we are told later who they are.

In 2 Esdras 13:25 and the following verses the interpretation of the vision is given:”Whereas thou sawest that out of His mouth there came as a blast of wind, and fire, and storm; and that He held neither sword, nor any instrument of war, but that the rushing in of Him destroyed the whole multitude...this is the interpretation: Behold, the days come, when the Most High will begin to deliver them that are upon the earth. And one shall undertake to fight against another, one city against another...one realm against another...And when all the people hear his voice every man shall...leave the battle they have one against another. And an innumerable multitude shall be...gathered together...willing to come and to overcome Him by fighting...And this My Son shall rebuke the wicked inventions of those nations, which for their wicked life are fallen into the tempest; and shall lay before them their evil thoughts...and he shall destroy them without labor by the law which is like unto me.” [48]

This quotation shows the coming of our Lord, His hostile reception by the wicked nations, which He destroys by the breath of His mouth, exactly as foretold in Isaiah 11:4: “And He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He slay the wicked.”

The interpretation of the vision in Esdras then proceeds: “And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceable multitude unto him: Those are the Ten Tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters...into another land.”

This passage declares unmistakably who they are that have not fought against God’s Son; and so are protected and saved through the great fiery punishment of the Nations: “Those are the Ten Tribes or the House of Israel.” This is the plain unadorned statement of the Angelic Being who spoke to the prophet Esdras. It may not agree with the theories you have been taught, but it fits perfectly the other passages of the Word of God. And Esdras confirms it all in the 49^th verse of the same chapter: “Now, when he destroyeth the multitude of the nations that are gathered together, he shall defend his people (Israel) that remain, and then shall he shew them great wonders.” [49]

So, we can see clearly, the Ten Tribes survive when the wicked of the earth are destroyed; and afterwards He is to show to them great wonders. This agrees most minutely with the miraculous preservation of Israel through the time of the destruction of the wicked as detailed in Isaiah 26:20-21; Malachi 4; Psalm 9, 46.

Esdras could have had no reason for inventing this message of the Angel. He belonged to the Two Tribes, between whom and the Ten here had been constant rivalry and many deadly wars. The men had wholly deserted God, repudiated His worship, gone over bodily to the wicked idolatry of the heathen; and, so far as the worship of Yahweh was concerned, it had become centered entirely in the two Tribes on which Esdras belonged. Under these circumstances, how could he suggest his singular preservation of Ten-tribed Israel in the latter days unless the message of the Angel really had been given him? All his sympathies were with the Two. But in the message of the changing of the Age, very ominously, the Two Tribes are never mentioned! “Those are the Ten Tribes,” the Angel said. That is the brief message, and it is as forceful and decisive as it is clear.

Please do no say that these Ten Tribes are the Gentile Church; for the Divine message continues: “which were carried away prisoners out of their own land, in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive.” [50]

There is no avoiding that; it cannot be any church. It is the same actual and literal people of the Ten Tribes who went into captivity, or words have no meaning. The conclusion to which this Divine message leads is irresistible.

Luke 17:29 records some terrible words of our Lord. His evidence has not been left to the last because it is the least important, it is the most important; but if it stood alone its purport might not be fully seen. But after the evidence which has been adduced, it will e easily recognized that His terrible prediction confirms it all. When referring to His coming (It cannot be seen with certainty whether first stage or second stage, as no division here is indicted), our Lord shows that the punishment of the wicked will come on the same day as His appearing, and will be the same in its character as fell on Sodom and Gomorrah in the days of Lot. “But on the day that Lot left Sodom God rained fire and brimstone from the sky and destroyed them all. Exactly so will it be on the day that the veil is lifted from the Son of man.” [51] Therefore, it is clear for all to see, this prediction of our Lord, and also in that one of Esdras, the destruction of the wicked is simultaneous with the Coming of the Lord.

Who is the “Great Babylon” whose destruction by fire is announced in Revelation 18? Many Judeo-Christian ministers are crying out, falsely, that the United States is this “Great Babylon.” But they could not be more wrong as will be shown further on in this book. Then there are many who interpret that “Great Babylon” as the Roman Catholic Church.

The description given in that chapter of “Great Babylon” does not fit the Roman Catholic Church, or, in deed, any Church. It is a much bigger thing than the dealing with an Apostate Church. Take verse 11: “No man buyeth their merchandise any more.” One cannot fit that on to the Church in question. It is some city , country, religion, or group of countries that have been doing an immense trade in ordinary merchandise. The description even of the merchandise is given; Gold, silver, precious stones, fine linen, silk, precious wood, brass, iron, marble, cinnamon, ointments, wine, oil, flour, wheat, beasts, sheep, horses, chariots, slaves, souls of men.

Is the Roman Catholic Church a trader in these things? Certainly not. Whatever her faults may be, she does not tally with this description. And there are many other verses in this chapter quite inapplicable to her. Now, if that is so, we have got to find another subject or object of the prophecy. And “the merchandise,” “the ships,” “the sailors,” and “the merchants who were made rich y her,” plainly give us the clue. And verse 23 says: “Thy merchants were the great men of the earth.”

As we have previously stated: One of the greatest mysteries of the scriptures that has eluded our people, has been the identity of the “woman” and that “great city” as recorded in the Book of Revelation. Knowing the identity of these is the “key” that will open the door of understanding to the revealing of the latter day events that are now unfolding before our very eyes.

Our people have been led astray and blinded to the truth by the false shepherd’s of Christ’s flock. The lying ministers and preachers that teach falsehoods and the doctrines of men for filthy lucre’s sake. These same ministers and preachers turn from the truth and in its place, teach our people “Jewish Fables!” These false ministers have told us that the “great city” is Rome, New York or Moscow. They have told us the “woman” is either the “Roman Catholic Church” or a mystery that we aren’t to know or understand. I am going to give you the truth as to the identity of the “woman” and that “great city” right from the very words of the Scripture. Once you know and understand the identity, then you will know who the enemy is and has been right from the very beginning. You will understand that we are engaged in a war, for it’s the battle for the Kingdom.

The Book of Matthew 11:12 states: “And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” We am going to identify that “great city” at the very start of this revealing and then take you to the other Scriptures which reveal the “woman” and the identity of our enemy. As Christ said, “You shall know the truth and it shall make you free.” [52]

Turn to Revelation 11:8, where it says: “And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of ‘THE GREAT CITY’ which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also ‘Christ was crucified.’”

Answer: “Jerusalem.” Now you have the identity of that “Great City.” It’s the city of “Jerusalem.” And although the United States is the New Jerusalem and New Zion, it is not the Jerusalem being mentioned in this verse.

Turn to Revelation 16:1-21. This tells you the story of the vials of wrath being poured out upon the earth by the angels. We are currently between the sixth and the seventh vials. Immediately after the seventh vial is poured out, there is to be a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth. Now verses 16:19 says: “And the ‘GREAT CITY’ was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Great Babylon came in remembrance before ‘Christ’ to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.” Jerusalem is to suffer a great earthquake that will divide her into three parts.

Chapter 17 reveals the identity of the “great whore” that sitteth upon many waters, “With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.” [53] You will note that in verses 4, 5 and 6, the actual description of her arrayment, her many names that she is known by and whose blood is upon her hands.

Verse 4: “And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.”

Verse 5: “And upon her forehead was a name written, mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.”

Verse 6: “And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Christ.”

Verse 7: “I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.”

Verse 9: “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.”

At this point, I want to digress and tell you that the false ministers and preachers have tried to tell you that these seven mountains are either the seven hills surrounding either the cities of Rome or Moscow in order to fit it into their falsehoods in identifying that “great city” to be something that the scriptures clearly show it not to be.

You must remember that throughout scripture, Yahweh has symbolically used the word mountains to represent governments. With that understanding, it become rather simple to identify he seven mountains (governments) that the woman sitteth upon; it’s the G-7 nations comprising of The United States, Canada, England, Germany, France, Italy and Japan. These are the governments that control the monetary policies upon the earth for the woman.

The beast is the anti-Christ system of world Jewry and its twin companions, Communism and Democracy, which are used to enslave mankind.

Now comes another key verse as it identifies the “woman.” Chapter 17, verse 18, “And the woman which thou saweth is that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”

There you have it! The “great city” and the “woman” are one in the same. Now comes another bombshell for you to gain the understanding of Scripture. Chapter 18 of Revelation further identifies that great city and the woman as to being Babylon the Great!!

Chapter 18, verse 2: “And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying, ‘Babylon the Great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”

Verse 3: “For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.”

Verse 6: “Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.”

Verse 8: “Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is Yahweh who judgeth her.”

Verse 10: “Alas, alas, that Great City. Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgment come.”

Verses 11-21 describe the wailing of the merchants of the earth for no man buyeth their merchandise anymore. You will note in verse 13 that the merchandise contained...” Slaves and souls of men.”

Verse 19: “Alas, alas, that Great City...for in one hour is she made desolate.”

Verse 20: “Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets: for Yahweh hath avenged you on her.”

Verse 21: “...Thus with violence shall that Great City Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.”

Verse 23: “...For thy merchants were the great men of the earth: for by thy sorceries ((Pharmakia-drugs-Pharmacy) were all nations deceived.”

And another key verse - Verse 24: “And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all that were slain upon the earth.”

To whom was Yeashua speaking when He said, “And say, if we had been the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets,” “Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.” and “That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Able unto the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.” [54]

After Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 A.D., who is it that said, “...We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places: thus saith Yahweh of Hosts, they shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, the border of wickedness, and, the people against whom Yahweh hath indignation for ever.” [55]

And: “Thus saith Yahweh: because the enemy hath said against you, aha, even the ancient places are ours in possession.” [56]

To whom did Yahweh declare, “And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, an they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for Yahweh hath spoken it.”[57]

To what people did the apostle John say, “You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.” and “And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.” and “He that is of Yahweh heareth Yahweh’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” [58] and “I told you, and ye believed not.” [59] “But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.” [60]

Who are the people who killed (murdered Yeashua?) “...For ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews.” “Who both killed Christ, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us: and they please not God, and are contrary to all men.” [61]

Who are the people who deny Christ is God come in a flesh body? “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Yeashua is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father.” [62] and “Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confess to that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confess to not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” [63] and “For many deceivers are entered into the world who confess not that God is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” [64]

(2) Who are the people who our false ministers have proclaimed to be God’s Chosen People?

(4) Who are the people that have been run out of every country after they have been found out?

(5) Who are today’s money changers who print worthless pieces of paper and steal our people’s wealth and eat out the substance of our land?

(6) Who are the people that reject the Bible and follow the teachings of the Talmud?

(7) What people have declared war upon all Christians as is taught from their beloved Talmud?

The answer to all of these questions is one and the same - the Christ hating, anti-Christ JEWS!!!

The Jews, the physical seedline, the descendants of Satan, through Cain, who slew Abel, who Christ labeled as being responsible for the shedding of all the innocent blood upon the earth, who occupy that Great City Jerusalem, are the enemy of our people (Jacob/Israel) and all of the other races on earth.

Our position towards this enemy is very clearly shown in the Scriptures; “...Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord? Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.” [65] and “Do not I hate them, O Yahweh that hates thee?’ “I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.” [66] and “I will lay my vengeance upon Edom (The Jews) by the hand of my people Israel.” (Adamic race, the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) [67]

Very soon now; the enemy will be no more. [68] This “Great Babylon” the Lord Himself is going to deal with, and by fire from heaven; and very considerately He calls upon His people o stand clear. “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins; and that ye receive not of her plagues.” [69]

But who or which is this Great Babylon? It is called a city. But in Jeremiah, where it deals with the same incidents, it is called “a country:” and God’s people are bidden to get out of it. “Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.” [70]

This indicates the extraordinary and alarming extensive character of the visitation. If this is so, does it not supply a reason why God has put Israel in this land? So that, when God smites and destroys Great Babylon, His people may be saved, as Israel was in Egypt at the Passover? This visitation of Revelation 18 seems the same as that quoted from Isaiah 25:20-21; but is a much fuller description, and is given in greater detail.

In the latter, as has been proven, God bids His people Israel to hide while He punishes the wicked. “Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants. Of the earth (This, then, is no little local happening, it is against ‘the inhabitants of the earth’) for their iniquity; the earth also shall disclose her blood and shall no more cover her slain.” [71]

This word “earth” may mean the Roman earth, or I may have the larger signification. If we read the Scripture right, every man in Israel who obeys this command of God to hide in his own chambers will be as safe as Israel was behind her closed doors, when, on that never-to-be-forgotten night, God smote all the firstborn of Egypt.

Dr. Miltion A. Nobles, an American geologist and student of volcanic disturbances, stated a few years ago that “An earthquake era will ultimately submerge a large part of Europe; and when the coming eruption takes place vast eras of Europe will disappear and new continents will arise.” Therefore, if this is true, it would appear that when Great Babylon is destroyed there are to be no survivors left. It says: “And the voice of harpers, and musicians...shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; and the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee; for thy merchants were the great men of the earth.” [72] Absolute and eternal silence in Great Babylon.

Jeremiah 50:40 confirms this: “As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah...saith the Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.” Malachi also confirms it:”The day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.” [73] Esdras says: “And burned them up every one.” [74]

Yet, as has been pointed out, survivors are left elsewhere, though not in Babylon. “Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept.” [75] Or, as Malachi says: “Ye shall go forth and grow up as calves of the stall.” [76] Or as Esdras says: “He calls unto him another peaceable multitude.” This great even would seem to be introduced by a tremendous earthquake; the greatest the world has ever known.

Revelation 16:18, says: “And there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.” [77] Isaiah 24:18-20, says: “The foundations of the earth do shake; the earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage.” Thus showing that Isaiah and Revelation are both speaking about the same thing, and the physical changes which the word clearly indicates as coming on the earth will necessitate some such great convulsion of nature to bring them about.

If that is the case, it is absolutely necessary that there be provided for them a place of refuge while the great earth convulsions are in process, and until the change is accomplished. Please remember that the whole face of the world is to be changed, and every wall fall to the ground; the mountains (nations) are to be removed, and the earth so altered as not to be remembered or called to mind; and yet human beings are to live through all of this; and, as has been shown, they are Israel.

If that is the case, unless God provided a place of safety, all human life would be destroyed and His promises become void. The tumult, the upheaval, the fire, the earthquake, wold not leave anyone living. There MUST be a place of refuge, and there is; but it is for Israel, and all who join her.

When the great plagues were sent upon Egypt a very singular thing occurred; when the plague of hail came, all those Egyptians who believed Moses’ warning and obeyed and came with their cattle to cover shared in Israel’s safety, and not one of their cattle died. Just so, all Israelites and non-Israelites converted in the great peaching which follows the ascension of the Saints, and joining Israel, will become fellow-heirs with her, and share in all her blessings.

In Isaiah 54:10: God makes a very startling assertion which is not generally recognized by the Judeo-Christian clergy; it is a well-known passage, but we have read it with our eyes blindfolded. “For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be renewed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.”

Please emphasize that first emphatic word “Shall.” For we have here a definite prediction of the removing of the mountains, and of the hills: “The mountains shall depart, the hills be removed.” In other words, the large nations and the small nations or countries will lose their identity as a nation or country. Much of which is being done today under the New World Order. During this time of wars and tulmits Israel is to be kept in safety by God, and remain for ever under His covenant of peace. This is not wild and incoherent boasting: it is, again, a prediction of the turning of the earth upside down, the end of the old order, and the bringing of the new; the reorganization of the old world while God covers Israel with His hands, preserving her safely and in peace. Most people read that passage as though it said: “The mountains ‘may’ depart,” and so have made it into a contingency very unlikely to occur; a merely suppositious case. It does not say “may.” It says “shall.”

God is not contemplating here a suppositious interference with the ordered governments of the earth: He is asserting that it shall be so; and that through all the commotion of it His kindness and His peace shall never be removed from Israel. So we have here a declaration of God’s faithfulness to Israel, and to His covenant with them and their preservation after the mountains or nations have departed. It is not God supposing; it is God declaring. It is not imagination, it is prophecy. It refers to the same earth convulsion of which God had spoken to Isaiah in chapter 24: “Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty...and burneth it upside down...The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage.”

If it is asserted that this wonderful preservation is to come upon the church, we at once answer: “The whole chapter, Isaiah 54, refers to Israel.” The first verse shows it: “Sing, O barren, thou that dist not bear, break forth into singing...thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate (that is Israel) than the children of the married wife (Judah). And verse 3 says that they are to inherit the Gentiles, showing that they themselves are not Gentiles.

Again, verse 7 says: “For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.” And verse 8 speaks of God’s wrath being upon them; and His face hidden from them. God cannot be wroth with His true Church, nor can He ever forsake the, or hide His face from them. But He did all that to Israel. And the great deliverance spoken of when the mountains depart comes on the very people who had incurred His wrath, and whom God had forsaken; though He is careful to tell us it was only for a small moment.

We have here a positive declaration by God Himself that Israel shall last longer than the mountains, and be preserved in safety when they are removed. There is, however, in Isaiah 51:16, an even more clear declaration of the great processes of God Almighty when He makes the new heavens and the new earth. “But I am the Lord thy God, that divided the sea...And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand (What for?) That I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.” [78] A most amazing passage, but one utterly neglected and misunderstood by the Judeo-Christian clergy.

We would suggest that there you have the whole thing in process, the making of the New Heavens and the New Earth; the bringing in of the new order of things at the end of the Age, while God covers His people Israel with His hand. The whole operation is set forth there in detail, and in the correct order:

(5) After it is all over, god disclosing Himself to them, and saying to Zion: “Thou art my people.”

The is not only the great deliverance of Israel, but it is “The Great Restoration;” and it comes at the time of the covering of Israel with God’s hand. And the very next chapter (52) shows Israel redeemed, and God taking His place over them as King. “That saith unto Zion, thy God reigneth:” or, as Ferror Fenton translates it: “Her God is her King.” There you have it “The New World, The New Men, The New Age.” Then shall be fulfilled that marvelous word in Isaiah 60:1-2: “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people (So then this cannot be heaven): but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee.” [79] Whatever does that mean? The Glory of the Lord visible!

“Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee (Again it cannot mean heaven; heaven has never been forsaken and hated) I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.” [80] So, then, this is some people who have offspring in many successive generations. “Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders (Then it is speaking of a land that had been ravaged: so it cannot mean heaven, nor yet the Church): but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise...Thy people also shall be all righteous (The very thing we have found out elsewhere): they shall inherit the land forever: [81] and Ferror Fenton says: “conquer the earth.” So, then, it cannot refer to heaven.

Isaiah 11says the same thing and in the same order: “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them...They shall not hurt nor destroy (Where? In heaven? That would be ridiculous; they have never done that there) in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” [82] The earth, the earth, please, do note it.

Obadiah 1:21 says: “And saviours shall come up on Mount Zion to judge the Mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.” Oh, if only our Israel people would let the mighty words seize their minds with the tremendous meaning they bear. Ezekiel

Ezekiel 48:35 says: “...and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there.” Then, it is not heaven, for it has this new name on a certain day. Zechariah 14:20 says: “In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, holiness unto the Lord.” And Revelation 11:5 says: “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever.”

A few words more about the New Men. God has declared His intention to take this matter in hand. At the time of the battle of Armageddon, described in Ezekiel 39:6: “And I will send fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles...so will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more.”

Notice the two different prepositions: “on,” “among.” Five “ON” Magog to punish and destroy; :”Among” Israel to chasten and rebuke, correct and deliver. For these words, “Among them that dwell carelessly in the isles,” are to clear to be mistaken. These people are called “Israel” who have polluted God’s name (Therefore are clearly the literal Israel), but will do so no longer. The purifying, cleansing, and conversion of Israel is closely associated with the Lord sending a fire on Magog; the very thing we have discovered elsewhere. Notice, further, that very important word “SO.” “So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel.” That word “so” shows that this is the correction, this is the admonishing, which changes the heart of Israel and at the same time destroys her foes. Here is Israel’s conversion, and it is of such a character that they will pollute God’s holy name no more.

Ezekiel 36:21-28 tells us how it is to be brought about; and seeing that it is God’s work, it can admit of no failure. “Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh...and I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.”

This is Israel the Nation, as is proven by the words:”dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers;” and also by verses 22,-24. [83] These are the New Men, with new hearts, walking blamelessly before God, possessing His Spirit; keeping His judgments, and dwelling in the land which He gave to their fathers, having new minds, new purposes, re-invigorated bodies, and dwelling in that land, as Ezekiel 37:25 tells us, “they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever” or, as verse 326 tells us, “for evermore.”

The things which have been herein treated and explained are foretold by our Lord Himself and fifteen prophets and apostles. The Psalmist, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Joel, Micah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Peter, John, Paul, the Writer of the Hebrews, and the Angel who spoke to the prophet Esdras. Surely, surely, we should do well to take notice of the grave warnings God has given us through them. If, however, we persist in making their words into figure and symbol, no power on earth can make us know them. We have; by thus twisting them, utterly destroyed our power of perception and blinded our own eyes to the Truth.

Isaiah thus describes the New World; The New Men; The New Age: “For behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy... (This cannot be the Jerusalem in the middle east for it has become a trembling and a curse since its beginning in 1948) the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old...They shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands...for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord (Abraham), and their offspring with them...The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock...They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.” [84]

2). The time of great trouble, and the great preaching, ending with the second stage of the Advent; the destroying of the wicked by fire; the preserving of that peaceable multitude who had not fought against Christ; the ordering of Israel to hide; the covering of Israel with God’s hand, while He destroys the wicked, makes new skies, and re-lays the foundation of the earth; the complete repentance and acceptance of Israel; the settling again in the land of their fathers; the reigning of the king of the House of David over them forever; the end of war; the taming of the beasts; the lengthening of human life; and, as other passages show us, the abolishing of all sickness. Can you imagine the intensity of meaning there is in that last statement? No consumption, fever, cancer, typhoid, no cutting and carving of the human frame; but perfect human health lived under the best of conditions. For, if it says of obstinate wicked Israel as they journeyed through the wilderness: “There was not one feeble person in all their tribes,” [85] surely, when the King shall come to reign and rule how fitting it is that it should say of Zion: “And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick; the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.” [86] The age-long hiding of God is to have a sudden, a tumultuous, end .it has been His good pleasure, while He has had His work to do in Israel, to do it in secret. But when that is all complete, then God is to come forth from His place, and, with vengeance and power irresistible, appear for the help and salvation of His ancient people.

This is described as “The day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompense for the controversy of Zion.” [87] We can only imagine that that is the Day when the Angel from Heaven will take a great chain, and binding Satan with it, will cast him into the bottomless pit from which he came. And the earth, rid of this vile scum, freed from the curse that came with sin, shall then put on her beautiful garments: beautiful before, a thousand times more beautiful now, for creation itself shall rejoice and share in the glad freedom; the trees, always beautiful, shall then blossom and fruit as never since Eden; the earth, bountiful and productive beyond conception, shall then so abundantly yield her increase, that a mere handful of corn scattered on the barest spot in all the earth its fruit shall shake like Lebanon.

Oh, these are not fairy tales, they are the words of the Living God. These strange things are not the outcome of a disordered imagination; they are the predetermined, fixed, and eternal purposes of the Lord God Almighty. We do not often hear Isaiah 34 and 35 read in public worship in the Judeo-Christian churches; unless they are misapplied. But these two chapters are bound together, they are part and parcel of the same great turnover in the last days.

Isaiah 34 is the punishment of the heathen wicked nations by fire; it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion. Chapter 35 is Israel’s deliverance. “Behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind (This is the opening of the eyes of those who will not or cannot see today, and understand God’s Word) will be opened.”

Do you ask, “Is it literal or symbolical?” It is both. Oh, there has got to be a great opening of the eyes of Israel yet. But there you have also the taking away of all bodily disabilities. The eye, meant to see; the ears meant to hear, will hear; the tongue meant to speak, will both shout and sing; and the feet meant to walk will not only walk, but leap and dance. And the chapter finishes: “And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” [88]

Turn back one moment to that terrible chapter, Isaiah 24, referred to earlier; that chapter which speaks of the foundations of the earth being shaken, the earth broken down, moved exceedingly, reeling to and fro like a drunkard, and being “removed like a cottage.” For we wish you to see how delightfully that chapter finishes: “Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign (Mark who it is that is going to reign, The Lord of Hosts. But where? In heaven? Oh, no. He always has reigned there) in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.” [89]

Three times it defines where; “in Mount Zion,” “in Jerusalem,” and before His ancient people. That is the fulfilment of the great word in Isaiah 12:6: “Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion; for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.” And that equally wonderful word in Zechariah 3:14-15: “Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem...The King of Israel, even the Lord (Is that clear enough for you?) Is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.”

It is also the fulfilment of that prayer taught by our Lord to His disciples, and prayed by millions every day; perhaps without knowledge of its meaning, which mothers teach their little ones on bended knee, long before they can understand it; even this shall then receive full and abounding fulfilment, not according to the meanness and the narrowness of our conception, but according to the beneficence and faithfulness of the King: a prayer which we elders have not even yet fully understood: “Thy Kingdom Com: thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

Our forefathers came to the shores of the North American Continent to lay the foundation of a Christian society. The church was to be the central influence in our lives; the administration of the affairs of state was to conform with the requirements of the Law of the Lord. It is a matter of grave concern today that our nation has departed so far afield from the faith and trust in God manifested by the Founding Fathers of our country. We have forgotten what the Pilgrims fully recognized, that unless God prospers our undertakings, we labor in vain. The Psalmist stated it all too well: "Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: [The marginal rendering is: 'they labor in vain that are builders of it.'] Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." [90]

Now that our nation is rich in lands and houses and possessions, having an abundance of the things which provide for physical well‑ being, the people have turned aside from heeding Moses' warning: "Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God...and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day." [91]

While sojourning in Egypt, Joseph's father Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel) performed a special ceremony with Joseph's two sons. Ephraim and Manasseh, in his presence, having to do with their inheritance. Joseph's boys were placed before him and Jacob crossed his hands so that the younger son (Ephraim) might receive the blessing reserved for the elder (Manasseh). Joseph remonstrated with his father, but Jacob said to him: "I know it, my son, I know it: he [Manasseh] also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother [Ephraim] shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations." [92]

Today the United States of America is that Great People. We do not refer to ourselves as a great nation so much as we use the very Biblical appellation foretold to designate our national status, a Great People. The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States confirms this: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

The Prophet Isaiah directed a message to the people of God, warning them of a time to come when many among them would face extreme tribulation. The reason is given: "Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips: In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow." [93]

The history of God's people is replete with instances when they were gratefully aware of the Lord's actions in their behalf, only to quickly turn aside into paths of disobedience. When our Pilgrim fathers set sail to go to the New World, no doubt the Psalms of David fortified them daily and perhaps they often repeated this affirmation: "Thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me." [94]

The Lord did lead them and, as further stated by the Psalmist, "They remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer." [95] They had every reason to be thankful to God who was, as the prophet expressed it, the Rock of their strength.

Therefore, at the outset they planted pleasant plants; that is, desirable plants, in laying a foundation of righteousness in the new land to which they had come. In the morning of our nationhood our good seed did flourish; in the daytime of our development into a Great People our planting grew with a vigor.

However, expanding the graphic analogy, Isaiah stated that when the people were no longer mindful of God, the Rock of their strength, they began to set "strange slips" among their pleasant plains. The Hebrew word translated "strange" means "foreign or profane" ("godless"); it has the significance of "to turn aside." This implies that, forgetting the God of our salvation, we would turn away from our Divinely‑directed way of life and we would cultivate strange and foreign ideologies, doctrines in opposition to the Law of the Lord and diametrically opposed to the terms of the National Covenant the Lord made with our forefathers at Mount Sinai. [96]

Among the strange slips we selected from the foreign soil of atheism were those which bred Higher Criticism, Modernism and Judaism. This fostered disbelief in the veracity of the Scriptures and ripened into the Great Apostasy that has settled from the goodly spiritual plant our forefathers nurtured when they came to these shores. Our nation has fared no better in the realm of politics.

We have departed far afield from the kind of government our forefathers who were present at Mount Sinai were instructed to put into operation. It was to be a representative form of government, with spiritually qualified men selected to speak for the people. [97]

The Law of the Lord was to be the basis of its constitution and was to be administered as the law of the land. Our government was never, under any circumstances, to degenerate into a godless democracy. The only time the people of Israel lapsed into a democracy was when Aaron, in the absence of Moses, listened to the voice of the majority and gave them the golden calf to worship.[98] The mob ruled and the people sinned. God never intended His people to succumb to mob rule. The Founding Fathers of this nation recognized that danger and wrote a constitution for the United States that provided for a representative form of government, a Republic, not a democracy.

Now, however, the strange slips of democracy have been deliberately set out and they are being raised to full flower. Our governmental leaders have even adopted many of the tenets of Marxism and Fabian Socialism, grafting them into the body politic, with the result that our Republic has died. How tragic it is that the Prophet Isaiah found himself impelled to prophesy: "But the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow." [99] The marginal rendering is very explicit: "But the harvest shall be removed in the day of inheritance, and there shall be deadly sorrow."

All signs point to the fact that our nation should now be preparing to enjoy what the phrase "day of inheritance" foreshows, experiencing the fullness of the covenant blessings bestowed upon us. Instead, there will indeed be deadly sorrow as the time of trouble deepens, which is described by the Prophet Daniel to be "such as never was since there was a nation." [100] At the present time our society is in a state of degeneration and decay and our nation is undergoing the throes of judgment. We flounder as a people on the edge of a pit of destruction.

Addressing Himself specifically to the United States of America, as recorded in the 18th chapter of Isaiah, the Lord communicated a message through the prophet that He would rest in His dwelling place during a specially fixed period and refrain from intervening in behalf of His people.

This will occur prior to the fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah 26:21 where God's "place" is also mentioned: "For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood [or bloods; the origin of her races], and shall no more cover her slain." [101] The foundations of America, Christ's Kingdom, on earth is being shaken. Who is to blame? Slick propaganda machines bamboozle us with accusations and counter-accusations with such rapidity that it seems impossible to think things through calmly and rationally, well alone discern the truth!

Crime is soaring. Armed robbers, in police uniforms, steal vast sums of money daily, under color of law; Federal Agents are killing people indiscriminately in scenes reminiscent of the worst gangster days of Chicago. Elderly people are murdered in their homes and farms in order to steal their land and possessions.

Do we have a hope and a sure guide amid the bloodshed, the propaganda barrage, the near-anarchy, the moral disintegration, the uncertainty, the fears and the doubts? Most certainly we have! Peter talks of "a more sure word of prophecy" which we would do well to note, as a light that shines in a dark place.[102] In the midst of such bad news Paul could joyfully commend the Ephesian elders "to God and the Word of His grace." [103] The writer to the Hebrews speaks of our "sure and steadfast" anchor of the soul [104].

The Scriptures relate: "O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land [America] before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? And they dwelt therein and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying, If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house), and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help. And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir [The Jews], whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not; Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit. O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee." [105]

Before the harvest is gathered that is mentioned in the 17th chapter of Isaiah, the Lord states: "For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches." [106] Through the pruning and purging fires of tribulation, the Lord will lop off the growth of the strange slips in order that the plant itself may again bear righteous fruit.

Our desperate need today, as individual Christians and as a nation, is to experience a great spiritual renaissance, a return to Jehovah, the God of Israel, an awakening to the necessity to obey His commandments, statutes and judgements. When we do this as a people, we will be able to join in the affirmation voiced by the Psalmist: "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings, and he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God." [107]

In the face of unavoidable catastrophe, the moment of confrontation with the Lord God Almighty will come when the citizenry and all governmental office‑holders in our nation will earnestly desire to embrace the fruits of repentance as His people.

Following this we will renew the pledges of our Pilgrim forefathers in order that it may be well with us and with our children. Then, and only then, the enemy within will be destroyed, the foe without will be vanquished and the Great People of the United States of America, The White Race, will be delivered from all workers of iniquity.

We are presenting the following, in the introduction, about the "Identity Movement" because it is essential to understand: The True Tribes of Israel are all represented in the United States; of that there can no longer be any doubt to serious Bible students; and because no one will understand the truth of the statement "In The Beginning America Was A Christian Nation."

We are sure you have heard of the "Identity Christians" on the mass media and they call it a cult. This introduction is being presented in two parts. The first one is called "The Identity Movement" and the second is called "The Elect Race." Well if one looks up the word cult in the dictionary they will find that any form of religion can be called a cult. So I have put this together in an attempt to identify just what the Identity Movement is.

The Attorney General of the United States, who was appointed by the President Bill Clinton, in 1994 stated in a speech on national television stated: "A cultist is one who has a strong belief in the Bible and the Second Coming of Christ; who frequently attends Bible studies; who has a high level of financial giving to a Christian cause; who home schools his/her children; who has accumulated survival foods and has a strong belief in the 2nd Amendment, and who distrusts big government." [108]

The Identity movement is called a cult, because it fits the description of Attorney Reno to a "T" and it is called "Identity," "Kingdom Movement" and others mainly because no one has thought of a better name yet, for almost anything else one can think of has been used by other churches or denominations.

Some call it the Kingdom Movement. However, in recent days; the name has been changed, because of the vilification of the Jewish owned mass media, into The Identity Truth, but whatever one cares to call it; the message is basically the same. That the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Kindred peoples of the world are the True Descendants of the Tribes of Israel as related in the Holy Scriptures.

It appears that a great number of the Judeo-Christian Teachers of today; the mass media send out the same message concerning those people whom the Lord God Almighty has opened their eyes so they can see, and their ears so they can understand the message, that they are anti-Semites, neo-Nazis, White Supremists and etc.

However, we would point out that this is still the United States of America and people should still have a belief in whatever religion or beliefs they wish to have and if that is the case then what is the matter with a family who don't wish to associate with Niggers, Mexicans, Jews and other aliens races, and moving to a remote part of America where he and his family can live without coming into contact with them except occasionally?

Oh the wording is a little different but it amounts to the same message. Men such as Jerry Falwell, Billy Graham, Mike Evans, C.V. Grant, Jack Van Impe, Jimmy Swaggert, Oral Roberts and many more; and it would appear that most of them know nothing at all about the Kingdom Identity message, yet they obey their Jewish masters and denounce it every time they get the chance.

Billy Graham has to be put in a special category, because in the late 1940s and early 1950s he preached the Kingdom Identity message, but he found out that because of the animosity of the church world and the Jewish organizations, there was no money or fame in it. Or at least he didn't think so; therefore, he changed his message from the "Kingdom Identity" message to the popular and accepted message of Judeo-Christianity.

Christianity is under attack from all sides today in America. An example would be "The New Holy War" [109] by Bill Moyers a television production about Amendment Two, the anti-homosexual privilege bill that the people of Colorado passed but was later declared unconstitutional by Judge Jeffrey Bayless of the Denver District Court.

We believe the case has been appealed. Moyers went to Colorado Springs and interviewed homosexuals, evangelical Christians, and liberal "Christians."

The last category included Jim White, Judeo-Christian Pastor of First Congregational Church.[110] Pastor White has declared his intention to marry two lesbians in his church, and has lost many members as a result. He told Moyers this so-called "humorous" story: "Coach Bill McCartney of the University of Colorado, a prominent Christian who supported Amendment Two, says that the Old Testament states that homosexuality is an abomination to God. But, says Pastor White smugly, the Bible also says it is an abomination to touch a dead pig. Therefore, when the coach touches a football he is an abomination to God. Get it? Pigskin." That sounds real clever, don't you think? A reliable source at the Gazette Telegraph in Colorado Springs reported that minister White has been telling this story frequently.

But, liberal Judeo-Christian minister White is a liar! Leviticus 18:22 states: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." The word "abomination" means "disgusting, abhorrent" in the Hebrew language in which Leviticus was written.

abomination...

Hebrew #8441: tow'ebah, to-ay-baw'; or to'ebah, to-ay-haw'; fem. act. part of 8581, (mor.), i.e. (as noun) 'an abhorrence; especially idolatry or (corner.) an idol:-abominable (custom, thing), abomination.

Hebrew #8581: ta'ab, taw-ab'; a prim. root; to loathe, i.e. (mor.) detest:-(make to be) abhor (-red), (be, commit more, do) abominable (-y), X utterly.

Now notice the verses that deal with "touching" a dead pig. Leviticus 11:7-8 states: "And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean. Of their flesh [referring to certain other animals as well] shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you." The word "unclean" means "contaminated" because a dead animal is full of bacteria, parasites, etc.

unclean...

Hebrew #2931: tame', taw-may'; from 2930; foul in a relig. sense:-Defiled, + infamous, Polluted (-tion), unclean.

Hebrew #2930: tame', taw-may'; a prim. root; to be foul, espec. in a cerem. or mor. sense (contaminated):-defile (self), Pollute (self), be (make, make self, pronounce) unclean, X utterly.

If anyone thinks that the wording of the Hebrew language might be particularly harsh on homosexuality, we refer them to the Septuagint where the Greek is virtually the same as the Hebrew. The word translated "abomination" means "a detestable thing."

The New Testament is crystal clear about homosexuality: practicing homosexuals are worthy of death[111] and will not inherit the kingdom of God.[112] In a telephone interview Pastor White in Colorado, who was informed of the difference between the two Mosaic prohibitions (the "abomination" of homosexuality and the "uncleanness" of touching a dead swine). It was obvious that he had not done his homework, nevertheless his message reached all those who watched the Moyers presentation on PBS TV, most of whom don't know the difference. This is just another example of the brain washing the American people are getting via the boob tube.

Now back to our original presentation. Although the phrase "the right hand of fellowship" is used only once on the entire Bible,[113] it is of utmost importance. It is our intention, in this study, to answer the question to whom the right hand of fellowship is to be extended and under what circumstances. In the circles of Christian Israel {i.e., Christian Identity, Kingdom Identity or Anglo-Israelism; as it is sometimes called} there are many areas of belief which we share in common. Following are just a few:

We believe:

1). Salvation is in and only through Yahshua {Jesus} the Christ;

2). Salvation is by grace not by works;

3). The Scriptures are the inspired Word of God;

4). Today's Jews are not the descendants of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob; consequently they are not Israelites;

5). The Israelites today are found in the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and kindred peoples of the earth;

6). God's Laws, as found codified by Moses, are in effect under the New Covenant {New Testament};

7). Government should be ruled by God's Laws rather than man's laws;

8). Our goal is the restoration of God's Kingdom here on earth.

These are areas in which we are all in agreement, however, there are just as many we find ourselves in disagreement. Following are just a few:

1). The seedline issue;

2). The identity of the beasts of the field;

3). Whether Genesis 1 and 2 are describing one or two creations;

4). Whether the flood of Noah's time was only local or worldwide;

5). Whether the kingdom has already begun or is yet to begin;

6). The use of the sacred names of God;

7). Whether the feast days are to be kept under the New Covenant.

The doctrines upon which we agree, in essence, are those which make us what we are; they are the tenants which make us unique. However, what about the doctrines upon which we disagree; what do they say about us? Is there anything good to be said about our disagreements, especially in light of the Bible having so much to say about unity? Our disagreement are what proves conclusively that we are not a cult.

One of the characteristics of a cult is that it has one recognized leader or hierarchy and that it requires all of its members to be in agreement with everything the hierarchy teaches. In a cult, divergence of doctrine or opinion is simply not allowed. Take the Jehovah's Witnesses for example:

Simply ask the next two JW's who show up at your door if they have any differences with the Watchtower Society, and you will find that they are in complete agreement with all that they teach. They must agree or they will quickly find themselves on the outside looking in. What is interesting about this cult characteristic is that it is not much different in most Christian denominations today as well.

Certain groups within society have lately been labeling Identity as a cult. However, does this characteristic of a cult fit the Christian Israel movement? If we are honest with ourselves, we actually have more disagreements than agreement. So our differences prove there is no validity to the accusations of those who have personal interests in labeling Christian Identity as a cult.

Furthermore, there is not one mark by which cults are identified which fits Christian Identity. Another benefit derived from our disagreements is that they prove a tremendous opportunity for growth. Solomon wrote: "Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." [114]

Two identical swords, equally sharp, cannot sharpen each other. In order for a saber to be sharpened it must be brought in contact with another object with a rough surface. The same is true with human beings; there can be no sharpening if we all agree. As the saying goes: "If you and I agree upon everything, one of us isn't necessary." We are thrilled that we in Christian Identity do not agree upon everything we believe and teach.

That is not to say that there are not some places where the line of fellowship should not be drawn. The very fact that in Galatians 2 it states that James, Cephas and John extended Paul and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship is indicative of the fact that some people did not receive it.

We individually have no qualms about making clear where we believe the lines should be drawn. There are four areas at which we believe God would have us withhold the right hand of fellowship:

1). From those who deny the deity of Yahshua the Christ;

2). From those who claim salvation as being possible through any other means besides the atoning sacrifice of Yahshua;

3). From those who reject the Biblical plan of salvation;

4). From those who are knowingly unrepentant of willful sin.

There can be no compromise on these areas. Let us provide the Scriptural reasons why the line of fellowship should be drawn on these four areas. The apostle John provides us several characteristics of Antichrists in his epistles. One of them is as follows: "For many deceivers have gone into the world, those who do not acknowledge Yahshua (the) Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist." [115]

Take note that one of the characteristics is that these deceivers (the Antichrists) would refuse to "acknowledge Yahshua the Christ as coming in the flesh." If Yahshua was only a man then there would be no reason for someone to deny that He came in the flesh. Only if Yahshua was or at some time had been God would there be any purpose in someone denying that He (YHWH) came in the flesh. So the deity of Christ is here demonstrated by John. Not only does John describe such people who deny the deity of Christ as being the Antichrists, but he further instructs us as to what kind of relationship we are to have with such people: "Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of (the) Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting; for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds." [116] In other words, when it comes to those who deny the deity of Yahshua, draw the line! The Scriptures are crystal clear regarding our means of atonement: "Yahshua said...'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.'" [117] "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved."[118]

What does the Apostle Paul tell us to do with such people who either reject or who teach another means of salvation? "Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. For such men are slaves, not of our Lord (the) Christ...and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting." [119]; "There are some who are disturbing you, and want to distort the gospel {the atoning death, burial, resurrection, and appearance of Yahshua, [120]} of (the) Christ. But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you, let him be accursed." [121]

In other words, with such people who tach another method of atonement, or teach that there is another way to God and heaven other than the Lord Jesus Christ, draw the line! Just as there is only one means of atonement, there is also only one plan of salvation:

* Faith - John 3:16; 8:24; Romans 10:9-10; Hebrews 11;

* Repentance - Luke 13:3; 2 Corinthians 7:9-10; 2 Peter 3:9-20;

* Confession - Matthew 10:32-33; Romans 10:9-10; 1 John 4:15;

* Baptism - Mark 16:15-16; Acts 2:36-42; 1 Peter 3:21.

The line of fellowship must be drawn here as well. Consider the limitations which Yahshua Himself puts upon those who would desire fellowship with Him: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you, depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.'" [122]

Take note, there was more required for fellowship with Yahshua than simply acknowledgment of Him as Lord or even the performance of miracles in His name.

Even the devils, demons and Antichrists know Him: "...they {the devils} cried out saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God?..." [123]; "...Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy one of God." [124]; "And unclean spirits, when they saw him {Christ}, fell down before Him, and cried, saying, thou art the Son of God." [125]; "And cried with a loud voice, and said, what have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God?..."

[126]; "And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, thou art Christ the Son of God..." [127]; "And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know..." [128] and "Thou believest that there is one God; thou does well: The devils also believe, and tremble." [129] Christ also requires that we do the "will of (His) Father who is in heaven." How does one determine the will of the Heavenly Father? The only infallible means of doing so is through what He inspired the authors of the Holy Bible to write.

In other words, what should be done with those who will neither accept nor obey the inspired Biblical plan of salvation? Draw The Line! Do not extend the hand of fellowship. To do otherwise with such people who either reject the deity of Yahshua, the atonement of Yahshua or the Biblical plan of salvation would do them a disservice because it would further their false sense of security in a salvation they do not yet have.

The following passage is very specific in its instructions on how we are to deal with Christians who are unwilling to repent of deliberate sin: "And if your brother sins, go and reprove him in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed. And if he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a gentile and a tax gatherer." [130]

In other words, with willfully unrepentant people who claim to be Christians, Draw The Line! Those are four areas where the right hand of fellowship cannot be extended, because those are the four areas by which it is either determined whether a person is a brother or sister in the body of Christ or a brother or sister in good standing in the body of Christ.

In some areas compromise is fine. However, there are other areas you just do not compromise. It is like the hunter who took careful aim at a huge bear. About to pull the trigger, he heard the soothing, beguiling voice of his prey, "Isn't it better to talk than to shoot? What do you want? Let's negotiate."

Cradling his weapon, the hunter said, "I want a fur coat." "Good," said the bear, "That's negotiable. I only want a full stomach. Let's compromise." So the two sat down and negotiated. After a time, the bear walked away alone. He had his full stomach, and the hunter hand his fir coat.

No more than it was wise for the hunter to negotiate with the bear, so it would be unscriptural for us to extend the right hand of fellowship to the four categories of people previously described. Nevertheless, with the exception of the disfellow shipped Christian, it does not mean that we should not at times still have limited fellowship with such people. Without some fellowship we would never have the opportunity to teach them out of the error of their ways. At the same time, we will not compromise those areas for the sake of fellowship, harmony, peace, unity or anything. However, those are the only areas where we draw the line.

Now don't misunderstand us, we will not compromise what we believe to be truth in lesser areas of importance either. If it is what we believe the Scriptures teach, we are not going to teach something different simply so we can agree. Nonetheless, we will not use the nonessential areas of doctrine as tests of fellowship. Do we preach what we believe to be the truth in these areas? You bet we do, but we do not demand that you see it exactly the same way we do! Who knows? Your position may be the correct position and, by keeping open the lines of communication with you, we may
