ISSN 1442-8660

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. An especial welcome to our new
subscribers.
In Matthew 16, Jesus asked His Church, "Who do you say I am"? Out of the millions of that day He
asked twelve. Out of the billions in the days of Noah, He asked eight; and "as it was in the days of
Noah" He is asking the tiny fraction of mankind who read this Newsletter or in some other way
encounter His end-time Message, "Who do you say I am"?
To know Him is to love Him. The apostles were uneducated, common men who perhaps didn't know
their ABC's, but when they healed the lame man at the beautiful gate the hierarchy marveled and
knew they had been with Jesus. The new birth is the revelation of knowing and being with Christ. In
the manifestation of the Sons of God the saints will be in the unity of the faith as the latter rain
falls, like our Brethren in the upper room when the former rain fell, and God will express Himself in
the 'third pull.' This won't be a public show as it was on the day of Pentecost, it will be to instill
rapturing faith in the Bride by the realization God and man have become one. . . to know who you
are.
One of Brother Branham's most notable sermons is Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed. In this
Message he expounds the creation of God and His one eternal purpose as we have taught in recent
issues of this Newsletter. Read it and be blessed.
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed
their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed
personally in your own Bible.

International Protests on 60th Anniversary of "Israeli

Independence"
2008 marked the 60th anniversary of the creation of the Zionist state
which calls itself "Israel" and claims to represent the Jewish religion.
Each year anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews gather to protest the creation of
the Zionist state, whose existence is totally contrary to the teachings
of Torah and tenets of the Jewish Faith. Faithful Jews dress in
sackcloth to signify their sorrow and mourning of this event. Full

Demonstrations and protests were held in Jerusalem, London, New
York City, Montreal and Beis Shemesh in the Holy Land. The so-called
"Israeli Independence Day" has been a day of mourning for traditional Jews since the creation of the
Zionist State in 1948.

Iranian Leader Ahmadinejad in Rudd's Sights

May 14, 2008 The Rudd Government is preparing a case to take Iran's President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad to the International Court of Justice for "inciting genocide" and denying the Jewish
Holocaust.
Australia is the only nation pursuing Iran's despotic leader, who has threatened to "wipe Israel off
the map", through international laws.
The Australian revealed last October that Kevin Rudd, then the Opposition leader, promised the
Jewish community before last year's election he would take legal proceedings in the ICJ against Mr.
Ahmadinejad. . .
Attorney-General Robert McClelland, who pushed the campaign against Mr. Ahmadinejad when he
was Labor's foreign affairs spokesman, confirmed yesterday the Government was seeking legal
advice on taking Mr. Ahmadinejad to the ICJ. "The Government considers the comments made by
Iranian President Ahmadinejad, calling for the destruction of Israel and questioning the existence of
the Holocaust, to be repugnant and offensive. . . The alternative to not using these international
legal mechanisms is considering wholesale invasion of countries, which itself involves, obviously,
expense but more relevantly, of course, the potential for significant loss of life," Mr. McClelland
said. . .

Comment: The lunatics are in charge of the asylum, with "the City of London's" latest puppet PM
threatening to take an innocent democratically-elected PM to the ICJ for something he has neither
said nor done, and his Attorney-General intimidating a more powerful nation in behalf of nucleararmed Israel. Is this "inciting genocide" on Iranwith sticks and stones? Chutzpah! These selfseeking crazies genuflecting to the self-styled Jews, are hypocritically playing the ignorance of those
they pretend to represent. The ICJ has no jurisdiction over individuals and only hears cases against
countries while the International Criminal Court (ICC) could hear the case only on agreement of the
five permanent members of the Security Council, and according to Israel's prophets Ezekiel and
Jesus Messiah, Russia and China will not play their deceitful game of bluff (Ezekiel 38; Revelation
16:12-14).
Attorney-General McClelland neglected to inform the ignorant public with whom he is sporting, how
almost commonplace Jewish holocausts have becomethree, each of six million have been claimed
just in the twentieth century. And eighteen millions is small bananas in comparison with claims of
many previous holocausts (Gittin 57b; Gittin 58a, etc., etc.). Is this oversight on the part of the A-G
"repugnant and offensive," or ignorance?
Rudd and McClelland are "playing the crazy card" like Jewish presidential wannabe Hillary Clinton: "I
want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran. And I want them to
understand that. . . I think we have to be very clear about what we would do"
(origin.observer.com). These globalist crazies are pressing plans of "the City of London" to attack
the blood descendants of the Twelve Tribes of Israel in their host nations (Isaiah 11:11; Jeremiah
3:12, 18). The leaders of their Canadian colony are reading from the same script.

Russia wants Control of Downtown Jerusalem

May 31, 2007 Moscow is in negotiations to purchase a large section of downtown Jerusalem once
controlled by the Russian government prior to Israel's rebirth in 1948. The 17-acre Russian
Compound is today home to a large police facility and detention center, numerous pubs and

restaurants and a large Russian Orthodox church. The Russian government built up the area in the
1860s to accommodate the large number of Russian pilgrims who were visiting Jerusalem every
year, particularly around the time of Easter.
Negotiations over the land has been ongoing since the premiership of Ehud Barak some seven years
ago. The Russians are reportedly prepared to pay $100 million for the prime real estate. Speaking
to Israel National News, an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed that Israel is not "selling"
the land to Russia, but rather "returning" the area to its former ownersa very dangerous way of
putting things considering the Arab claim to all of what is today the Jewish state.

Comment: Globalists now control most countries in conspiracy against citizens and the national
interest. Leaders who are not part of the cabal are branded despots, tyrants, oppressors, or
dictators. Soon "the great city will be divided into three parts" (Revelation 16:19).

Insider describes Zionist Control of Amnesty International

Francis Anthony Boyle is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law.
Between 1988 and 1992 he was a member of the board of Amnesty International USA.
From 1991 to 1993 he was a legal advisor to the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Boyle says US and UK security services have infiltrated Amnesty Internationals staff.
Here's what he says about Zionist control of Amnesty International.
Remember, Boyle sat on the governing board. . .
The Israel lobby uses bribes and threats to control Amnesty-USA. And, since Amnesty-USA pays
about 20% of the budget for Amnesty-England, the Israeli lobby controls London too. I don't know
about direct Zionist lobbying in England, but I do know that Amnesty supports the Israeli party line
on all issues, whether by commission or omission. . .

Iran busts CIA Terror Network

Tehran, May 18, 2008 The Intelligence Ministry on Saturday released details of the detection
and dismantling of a terrorist network affiliated to the United States. . . The groups plans were
devised in the US, according to the announcement, which added that they had planned to carry out
a number of acts such as bombing scientific, educational, and religious centers, shooting people,
and making public places in various cities insecure. Full story: prisonplanet.com
The United States Central Intelligence Agency comprehensively supported the terrorist group by
arming it, training its members, and sponsoring its inhumane activities in Iran, the Intelligence
Ministry stated.
The terrorists had maps, films, pictures, and sketches of important and sensitive sites in various
cities in their possession when they were arrested. They also had a large number of weapons and
ammunition and a great deal of highly explosive chemicals and cyanide. Full story:

Unanswered 9/11 Questions

May 16, 2008 The collapse of New York's World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001 is arguably
one of the most well documented events in human history. Less well documented is the controversy
over why the buildings fell as they did.
At the time of writing, 357 architectural and engineering professionals have signed a petition which
directly challenges the National Institute of Standards & Training's official finding that the
destruction of these massive buildings was caused solely by structural damage from the impact of
jet airliners and the resulting fires. . .
As an Australian, I believe there is an urgent need for a new investigation for several reasons:
First, there is the war in Afghanistan, which has already claimed thousands of lives, and appears to
have no end in sight. If the 9/11 official narrative proves to be false, then the attack on Afghanistan
may be a war crime.
Second, there is the continued erosion of civil liberties in the form of anti-terror legislation, and
increases in police powers of surveillance and detention, which relies largely on 9/11 as the primary
justification.
Finally, there are core values of truth, decency and justice at stake, which I wish to uphold and
which I ask all Australians to join me in upholding as I say to our elected leaders, with all due
respect, we need a new investigation.

Comment: In this age of lawlessness (II Thessalonians 2:7; II Timothy 3-4) the globalists have
become a law unto themselves. There is a wealth of links and expert commentary on this page.

Marriage and Divorce

God ordained the five-fold ministry "to equip the saints for the work of the ministry (I Peter 3:15)
for building up the Body of Christ; till we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of
the Son of God that brings mature manhood, tending toward the measure of the stature of the
fulness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12-13). Every elect is to represent Christ to the world by having the
"Token" or evidence of His Life on display at all times, for judgment must begin at the house of God.
In Israel the Levitical priesthood was separated to God from the twelve tribes to minister the Word
of God and keep Israel sanctified and separated from profanity. They type the Bride of Christ who is
separated from her non-elect kindred and the things of the world (I Peter 2:5). Whereas the nation
of Israel was the Bride of Jehovah whose union was conditional to obedience, the true Church is the
Bride of Christ individually united to the Word through an indissoluble bond in the Spirit God calls an
invisible marriage union between our soul and Christ the Word wherein we are one in the Holy Spirit

as a man and his wife are one in the flesh (I Corinthians 6:17; Genesis 2:23-24).
Israel could be put away in divorcement as indeed he is, for Israel is God's servant and
"the servant does not abide in the house for ever as his tenure is conditional: but the son
remains forever without conditions" (John 8:35). We know from the type in the Book of Ruth
that Christ had to redeem Israel as a nation before He could marry the Gentile Bride yet only an
election of individual Israelites in the Land is accounted as the nation. Counting from 780BC we are
now well into "the third day" of one thousand years in which Hosea 6:1-3 prophesied all Israelall
144,000 of them will be restored to divine favour in one day (Joel 2:32; Romans 11:26; Isaiah
66:8; 30:26; Jeremiah 3; Hosea 2). However their indissoluble bond of the Spirit will be that of
servant, for the marriage of the Lamb will end at the Sixth Seal (Revelation 14:1-5; 19:7).
In Malachi 2:1-9, God reproves the Levitical priests for profaning His Name in the eyes of the people
by teaching for hire, for having respect of persons, and by misleading with false (Talmudic)
expositions of the Law thus plunging Israel into sin, guilt, and perdition. They had made the Law
into a stumbling-stone instead of a light and lamp for their feet (Isaiah 8:13-22; I Peter 2:6-9; I
John 2:10).
God's ministers should be men of understanding in His Word, keeping knowledge for, not
from His people, and equipped to instruct those unacquainted with the revelation. This
knowledge must be in their lips to "preach the Message urgently at all times, when it is convenient
and when it is not; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine" (II Timothy 4:2)
because without faith even the most sincere worship is void, and our offering of worship must be as
unblemished as Israel's lamb, for the offeror and his sacrifice are one and by a defective sacrifice he
is himself rejected.
How many lives have been destroyed through sin (i.e. unbelief in the revealed Word of God),
particularly in this era of secular humanism, situational ethics, free love, no fault divorce,
pornography, homosexuality, and "comme ci comme a" ecumenism, because ministers possess
seminary learning without faith to instruct their people? Brother Branham said, "By lack of this
revelation is why we have so many different divisions among us and so much mockery, so much
division among us, is because the people lack that revelation. See, they lack that revelation: the
teachers." I have always attended church, believed and loved the Lord, but because of false ministry
and false history for the first thirty-three years of my life I was without faith; and now that we are
at the end of the age Lucifer's minions have made it a penitentiary offence in many once Christian
nations to publicly express Bible faith and historical truth.
Malachi 2:10-16 introduces a new subject not unrelated to the first because it stems from the
delinquent teaching ministry of the Levites that caused the people to stumble. As Hosea 4:6
prophesied 500 years before, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have
rejected knowledge, I reject you from being priest to Me: since you have forgotten the Law of your
God, I will forget your children." God rebukes the men of Judah for unlawfully divorcing their wives
in order to marry foreign idolatresses, "violating the covenant made by God with our fathers," by
which it was ordained that Israel should be separated from all other peoples (Exodus 34:11-17;
Leviticus 20:26; Deuteronomy 7:3). Intermarriage with the heathen would defeat this purpose of
God, who was the common Father of the Israelites (Genesis 12:1-3; Isaiah 63:16; 64:8)brothers
and sistersin the sense that He had not yet revealed Himself to the heathen.
This one Father created Israel to be His peculiar people and a Light to the Gentiles (Isaiah 42:1-7; I
Corinthians 8:6), yet the Levites were dealing partially in administering the Law. This is illustrated in
Matthew 19 where "The Pharisees came to Jesus, tempting Him, and saying 'Is it lawful for a man
to put away his wife for every cause? And if not, why did Moses command to give a writing of
divorcement, and to put her away?"
It was for miscegenation that God destroyed the world by the Flood. Balaam's teaching that "we are
all the same," brought Israel into miscegenation through fornication, which God never did forgive.

Israel's rejection of the Holy Spirit at Kadesh was the putting away of Jehovah. The World Council of
Churches, Charismatic and Ecumenical movements promote this sin through spiritual fornication
today (Amos 3:3). God hates hybreeding, whether it be adding to or taking from His Word or the
cursed multicultural agenda of the globalists, intermarriage with the children of Cain (Genesis 6:14; Matthew 24:37). The sin for which Malachi rebuked Judah is the sin of Christendom today (I
Thessalonians 4:3-6). Christ's Church is called to a total separation from denominational unbelief
(Matthew 25:6; Revelation 18:4).
God regarded all Israel as His beloved holy nation, wives equally with their husbands.
Malachi 2 exposes the lie of God's unschooled critics who commonly condemn the Bible as
chauvinist, supposing Hebrew wives were chattel slaves with no privileges. Whereas Oriental women
were generally degraded and today's "liberated woman" is often the enthusiastic mistress of her
own degradation, under God's Law the women were honored. Men who unjustly repudiated Hebrew
wives committed an "abomination" classed with idolatry, witchcraft and adultery, and stood to be
"cut off out of the tents of Jacob." Unlawful divorce became a national sin so no one should escape
judgment, both the Levites with the authority of teaching and the laymen their pupils or "scholars"
were guilty of "doing this . . . abomination." This emphasizes the need for we Christians to heed the
admonition of the noble Bereans and "receive the preaching and teaching with all readiness of
mind, then search the Scriptures daily, whether those things are so" lest we rest our eternal destiny
on a second-hand religion (Acts 17:11).
Malachi 2:10-16, "Have we not all one Father? has not one God created us? why then do we deal
treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?"
Judah was dealing treacherously against wives "created" co-equal under the Covenant God made
with the Patriarchs to be His peculiar people; profaning the Covenant by dealing treacherously
against their brethren in order to satisfy their lust for "daughters of a strange god" who were alien
to the Covenant of promise (Ephesians 2:12). This was a profanation of the holy seed (Ezra 9:1,2;
10:2; Nehemiah 13:23) for natural Israel like Spiritual Israel, the true Church, was holiness unto
the Lord (Jeremiah 2:3; Matthew 25:6; II Corinthians 6:14-18; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation
18:4).
"In Judah, and in Israel, and in Jerusalem there is treachery; for the men of Judah have profaned
the holy Temple of the Lord which He loves by marrying heathen women who worship idols. The
Lord will cut off from His Covenant to the last man, whether minister or layman, all who have done
this sin."
Marrying wives who have neither understanding in nor knowledge of Israel's God, or the presence of
anyone or anything unconsecrated to Him, such as an idolatress, is to be regarded as profaning all
that God has entrusted to His people, and God excommunicates them from Israel and deprives
them of access to the Temple courts. This was not marriage to just any foreigner but to one who
leads Judah astray to "serve foreign gods" (Deuteronomy 17:1-7; 3:6-11) and a repetition of what
had previously brought about Israel's downfall (Deuteronomy 31:16-19; II Kings 17:7-41; Jeremiah
5:19; 8:19).
Malachi's prophecy was delivered in 397BC. The great national disaster of 586BC, when
Nebuchadnezzar had destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple and taken the people away
captive, had been forgotten. What had been entrusted to the renewed communitythe Land of
their fathers, the people, and the revived sanctuary (which had been rededicated only in 515BC)
was again being profaned.
"And this have you done a second time, covering the altar of the Lord with the tears of your
forsaken wives." The first charge condemned marriage to Serpent's seed women, and idolatresses,
(doubtless in polygyny which was permitted under the Law), the second charge is unfaithfulness to
"the wife of your youth," who is divorced rather than supported, causing her to weep, pouring out
her heart before the God who witnessed her covenant of marriage thereby compounding the sin of

the husband's treachery against God's covenant with Israel by his treachery against his covenant
with his wife. The Lord will not receive his sacrifice of prayer nor bless him.
Refusing to be ashamed, and to confess their guilt, the men shamelessly ask the reason for their
rejection. Malachi 2:14, "Because the Lord witnessed the vows between you and the wife of your
youth [for life], against whom you have dealt treacherously: she is the companion you swore to
care for and keep, and the wife of your covenant."
A sin against a daughter of God's Covenant is a sin against God. The church ceremony is NOT
the marriage, but a public testimony in which we ask God to bless us before the witness of family
and friends. We are married when we exchange vows one to another, a transaction that takes place
some considerable time before the ceremony is planned. God is bound by His Word which is the
expression of His unchanging thoughts, and He holds you to your word.
"And did not He make one? Yet had He the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That He might
seek a godly race. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the
wife of his youth".
Malachi now appeals to the prophet Moses, and God's purpose in creation. Genesis 2:18-25: "And
the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help suited to his
needs. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every kind of beast and bird; and brought them
to Adam to see what he would call them: and whatever he called them, that was their name".
"So Adam named all cattle, and the birds, and every beast of the field; but still there was no proper
helper for the man. Then the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and took one of his
ribs and closed up the place whence he had removed it; and made the rib into a woman, and
brought her to the man." The word "made" is the Hebrew banah, meaning to re-build or extend. For
woman is not a part of God's original creation but a by-product made from the man after creation
had been finisheda perfect type of Christ and His Church. Whereas Jesus is the beginning of the
new creation of Godless than 2,000 years agothe Church is a continuation of the same creation,
being formed from the Holy Spirit taken from Jesus' side after God put Him to sleep on Calvary as
Eve was formed from a rib taken from Adam's side after God put him to sleep.
"And Adam said, Eureka!! She is part of my own bone and flesh! Her name is Woman, because she
was taken out of Man. This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his
wife such that they become one (I Corinthians 11:1-16; Ephesians 5:23). Now although they were
naked, neither the man nor his wife were embarrassed or ashamed".
This helps us to understand Malachi 2:15, "And did not He make one? Yet had He the residue of the
spirit. And wherefore one? That He might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and
let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth".
God's whole purpose is to manifest His own attributes to express what He is so He might fellowship
with those attributes in the form of His glorified Family through the harmony of faith (which is the
mind of God in us). His plan was sealed in the first Adam who fell and in the last Adam Who
overcame. God had finished His creation long before He formed the woman as a by-product. A
careful reading of Genesis reveals that Adam would have been about 110 years Eve's senior. When
God formed Adam, his wife was in him, and when the Logos was made flesh in the last Adam, His
Wife was in Him.
Genesis 5:1-2, "This is the Book of Life, the genealogy of Adam. In the day God created man in His
likeness." (God's likeness is His divine nature or character as we learned from the stature of the
perfect Man (Ecclesiastes 7:29; Ephesians 4:11-16; II Peter 1:1-11). God created man in His great
thinking before the foundation of the world; therein He foresaw all men and women of Adam's race;
and being part of His foreknowledge we were spiritGenesis 1:26-28; Revelation 17:8). "He

created them male and female, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when
they were created".
From the beginning God foresaw and foreknew you and me and every
member of Adam's race, and God blessed us. Think on that! Adam was one
of God's thoughts or Attributes before God formed him a body in the image of
animals from the dust of the earth. Then he was expressed as Word, and all of his
seed was potentially in him when that Word was made a living soul. Then Eve
was taken out from Adam's flesh and they were reunited in marriage to produce
an entire race through holy wedlock. "A godly seed." Recognize yourself a son or
a daughter of God, and live up to that high calling. Act out your part of God's
Word by becoming a written epistle of the present Truth. If your life proves you are an Attribute of
God (signified by one of the dots in the circle that represent God's expressed thoughts, the Logos),
you are eternal Life and will display the Token of His Life. Then whoever blesses you will be blessed
of God; and whoever curses you is accursed of God for you are an overcomer because you have
striven with God and with men, and have prevailed (Genesis 12:3; II Corinthians 5:19).
"Yet God had residue of the spirit." His creative resources were not expended. He might have made
Adam many wives, a veritable harem, but He planned for a monogamous partnership of one pair or
couple. Through their word of agreement, or covenant of marriage, God makes a man and his wife
one again. God took the feminish nature from Adam's mortal spirit and placed it in the woman so
that through the marriage union they should re-unite their spirits and their flesh and pro-create as
"amateur gods" through agreement in their own word, the anti-type of His Own creative Word, and
a type of Christ and His Bride. Trust, fidelity.
For us, a most instructive application of the term "residue of the spirit" is to apply it to free moral
agency and discipline. Through our marriage vows we separate ourselves from all others only to our
spouse. We forgo the "residue of the spirit" or free choices that may be in the offing for the mutual
benefit of the marriage relationship, for godliness and to produce a godly offspring. The purpose of
marriage is the fulfilment of God's one eternal purpose of multiplying and rearing children who will
hold fast His Word"a godly seed" or race in the new creation of God-men.
A bastard (the seed of adultery or incest) will never enter the kingdom of God, which is the election.
Deuteronomy 23:2, "A bastard shall not enter the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth
generation" (that is, never). While the ungodly seed of Cain's lineage is without salvation at all.
A godly people should reproduce godly seed. God's law of reproduction in Genesis 1:11
requires that "everything bring forth of its own kind whose seed is in itself." And God's
commandment at the start was that His children should "Be fruitful, and multiply, fill and subdue
the earth" (Genesis 1:28). His purpose is defeated when the wives and mothers of Israel are
"daughters of a foreign god." Therefore, the man must take heed to his "residue of spirit" and
control his passions so he does not commit adultery against "the wife of his youth".
"For the Lord, the God of Israel, says, I hate divorce: for one covers cruelty with his garment, says
the Lord of hosts; therefore control your passions so that you do not deal treacherously with the
wife of your youth".
As Adam and Eve attempted to hide their faithlessness behind garments of fig leaves, men try to
cover their injustices and ethical wrongs behind a veneer of outward respectability in remarriage.
God hates divorce, and permits it only in the case of some unclean thing (Deuteronomy 24:1) for
the Law requires a husband to maintain a hated wife who is innocent of any uncleanliness (Numbers
5:13-31; Deuteronomy 21:15-17). God will not justify divorcing one wife to marry another in
order to serve a man's lust, which would be to condone treachery against the faithful wife
of his first choice. His sole purpose is to gather glory unto Himself by manifesting His Attributes
through a holy people who have come under pre-eminence by the obedience of faith for fellowship
in unity throughout Eternity. Paul said, "You are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God." So it is

no longer you or I but Christ living in us, willing and doing His Own good pleasure.
Fellowship has been defined as two fellows in the one boat, but how can two sail together unless
they are perfectly joined in the same mind and in the same judgment (Amos 3:3; I Corinthians
1:10)? The natural types the Spiritual. You men should unite with the mortal spirit of your future
bride before you receive her body as Christians unite with Christ's Spirit before we receive bodies
like His own glorious body and enter the intimacy of His physical Presence. When a man chooses a
Bride, he should look for character. Her outward beauty will fade. But if she has character, it will
mature and blossom with the years. God is looking for a people of character. Men and women of
their word. Fidelity!
Matthew 5:31-37, "It has been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing
of divorcement. But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of
fornication, makes her commit adultery (because she will re-marry and a woman can only have one
living husband): and whosoever marries her (not him) that is divorced commits adultery" (because
she already has a living husband).
"Again, you have heard it said by men of old, You shall not perjure yourself, but shall perform unto
the Lord your oaths: But I say, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: nor by
the earth; for it is His footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither
shall you swear by your head, because you can not make one hair white or black. Simply give a
clear Yes, or No! Your word is sufficient, for to strengthen your promise with a vow is indicative of
lurking evil".
God expects your word to be your bond. Think carefully before speaking, know and
understand what you are talking about, and mean what you say. Your conversation
should be a firm unequivocal "Yes!" or "No!" so as not to create uncertainty. When a man
and a woman covenant in marriage, they are bound by their word. She must confess any unclean
living before she accepts his proposal of marriage, otherwise she has perjured herself. Should he
subsequently learn of fornication she did not confess before the marriage, her vow is null and void
and her husband can put her away for unconfessed fornication. Take the case of Joseph and Mary:
Matthew 1:18-20, "These are the facts concerning the birth of Jesus Christ: when His mother Mary
was espoused to Joseph, before they consummated their union, she was found with child of the
Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being just, determined to divorce her, but privately to avoid
her public disgrace. But while he thought on this, he fell into a dream and saw the Angel of the Lord
Who said, Joseph, son of David, don't hesitate to take to yourself Mary your wife: for that which is
conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost".
Joseph was her husband because he had proposed marriage and she had accepted. Before he could
know her as his wife he discovered she was already pregnant, and suspecting she had been in
fornication he was preparing to divorce her. But privately, lest she be stoned to death.
Deuteronomy 22:13-27, "If any man marries a wife and after consummating their union he accuses
her of premarital intercourse with another man, saying, I took this woman, and found she was not a
virgin, then her father and her mother shall bring forth the tokens of her virginity to the city judges:
and her father shall say, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and now he despises her, and has
accused her, saying, she was not a virgin when she married; yet here is the proof of my daughter's
virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city."
"And the judges shall take that man and have him whipped; and fine him one hundred shekels of
silver to be given to the girl's father, because he has falsely accused a virgin of Israel. She shall
remain his wife and he may never divorce her."
"But if this thing is true, and the tokens of virginity are not found, the judges shall take the girl to
the door of her father's house where the men of her city shall stone her to death because she has

defiled Israel by playing the harlot while living at home under the headship of her father. So shall
you put evil away from among you."
"If a man is discovered lying with a married woman, both he and the other man's wife must be
killed; so shall you put away evil from Israel."
"If a virgin who is betrothed to a husband is seduced within the walls of a city, both she and the
man who seduced her shall be taken outside the city gate and stoned to death. The girl because she
didn't scream, (being in the city, for had she cried out someone would have heard and come to her
aid); and the man, because he has humbled another man's wife: so shall you reduce crime among
you." So you see, the betrothal is the marriage!
"But if a man finds a betrothed girl in the country (where her cries for help would not be heard),
and forces her, only the man shall die: the girl is as innocent as the victim of a murder; for it must
be assumed that the betrothed girl screamed, but there was none to hear and rescue her".
The case is different if the woman is not betrothed. Verses 28-29, "If a man lies carnally with a
virgin who is not betrothed, and they be surprised, he must pay a fine of fifty shekels of silver to
the girl's father, and he shall marry her; he may never divorce her".
Demon-possessed infidels who run the entertainment industry in the once Christian world are of
"the synagogue of Satan" sending billions to hell, promoting promiscuity, adultery, filthy
communications, and sodomy. Christians should not have a television in the house. Woe betide
backslidden ministers with their feet on the desk who lack the audacity to admonish their
congregations and "shun to declare the full counsel of God." They will answer at the judgment
where there will be no repentance.
Deuteronomy 24:1-4, "When a man has married a wife and he finds some uncleanness in her: let
him write her a bill of divorcement and give it to her, and send her away. If she then remarries, and
the second husband also divorces her (because he also discovers unconfessed fornication), or if he
dies, her former husband may not marry her again, for she has been defiled; and that would be an
abomination bringing sin upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance"
(Jeremiah 3:1).
There is but one condition for which a man can put away his wife in divorcement, and that is
unconfessed fornication. Once a woman has been divorced, and has remarried, there is no ground
upon which the former husband may re-marry his divorced, remarried wife, even if her second
husband is dead. Oh, how lax our ministers have been. How evil they are for not thoroughly
instructing their congregations from an early age on the true message of marriage and divorce.
He can put her away in the case of unconfessed fornication even though they've been
married for ever so long. But she cannot put him away and still re-marry.
I Corinthians 7:1-11, "Now concerning the things of which you wrote: It is good for a man not to
touch (i.e. have carnal knowledge of) a woman (but to stay unmarried). Nevertheless, to avoid
fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the
husband render unto the wife her conjugal rights: and likewise also the wife to the husband. For a
wife no longer has full right to her own body, for her husband then has his entitlement to it:
likewise the husband no longer has exclusive right to his own body, for it belongs also to his wife.
So don't refuse these rights to one another except by mutual agreement, and for a limited time, so
that you may consecrate yourselves to fasting and prayer. Afterwards, come together again for
marital relations, lest Satan tempt you through lack of self-control."
"I am not saying you must marry, but you certainly may if you desire. I wish everyone could get
along without marrying, even as I do. But we're not all the same (see Matthew 19:10-12). To some
God gives the gift of a wife or a husband, and to others, that of remaining happily unmarried. So I

10

say to the unmarried and to widows, it is better to stay unmarried like me. But if you can't contain
your passions, you should marry. It is better to marry than to burn with lust."
"Now, for those who are married I have THUS SAITH THE LORD: let not the wife depart from her
husband. But and if she separates from him, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her
husband: and let not the husband put away his wife".
That is THUS SAITH THE LORD. If a woman leaves her husband she may not re-marry so
long as he lives. And a man may only divorce his wife and re-marry another while she is
living if the cause is unconfessed fornication, or for adultery, or if she has left him (Esther
1-2), or is deceased.
I Corinthians 7:26-28, "Here is the problem: we Christians face impending dangers (Paul was
perhaps referring to Jewish persecution and to the famine under Claudius) and in times such as
these I think it is best for a person to remain in their present situation. If you are bound to a wife
do not seek release. But if you are free from a wife, do not seek marriage at this difficult time. But
and if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. However
marriage will bring additional responsibilities that I wish you didn't have to face right now".
A divorced man may re-marry under the conditions outlined above. Paul says nothing about a
divorced woman remarrying. He speaks here only of virgin women marrying. And says that widows
may remarry.
I Corinthians 7:39, "The wife is a part of her husband according to the Law as long as he lives; but
if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be remarried to whom she will, but only if she marries a
Christian." ("Be not unevenly yoked together with unbelievers: for what common ground has
righteousness with iniquity? And what fellowship has Light with darkness" II Corinthians 6:14;
Amos 3:3)?
Acceptance of his proposal is the marriage for our word is to be our bond, so if she did not confess
her unchastity before accepting his proposal she was never his wife but was already joined to Tom,
Dick, or Harry. The marriage union is not the church ceremony, it is our word! If she perjured
herself, the covenant was not made in good faith and is void; her husband may divorce her and
marry another; and under such circumstances she can marry another man. But and if she confesses
her unclean premarital life and the man forgives and takes her responsibility upon himself, he can
never put her away.
Numbers 30:13-16, "Her husband may establish or nullify her vow, but if he keeps quiet for a day
concerning her pledges, he has confirmed them, because he said nothing to restrain her on the day
he learned of them. But if he waits more than a day and then refuses to permit the vow, then he
shall be responsible for and bear her iniquity. These are the statutes the Lord commanded Moses
concerning relationships between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter who is
living at home".
Man and woman are no longer co-equal for since the Fall they are under separate
covenants with God "for the woman being deceived was in the transgression" (I Timothy
2:1-15). Under the Old Covenant the token was fleshly circumcision but as it is not possible to
circumcise a woman the only way she could come under the blood of the sacrifice was by her
father's Token, or through marriage to an Israelite who was in the Covenant. Thus she is under the
authority of her father until she is married after which she is bound to her husband so long as he
lives; he is to rule over his wife and she must obey him (Genesis 3:16; I Corinthians 11:3;
Ephesians 5:22-24).
Spiritually, the Law as a husband ruled over the Israelites, and while Jesus "blotted out the
handwriting of ordinances that was against us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross"
(Colossians 2:14, 20; Ephesians 2:15; Hebrews 8:13), "He magnified the Law and made it truly

11

glorious" (Isaiah 42:21). Thus Paul applied it to the new birth or invisible union of the souls of the
New Testament saints with Christ the Logos, which is the Spiritual antitype of marriage, for the soul
is the feminine of God. So Paul instructed the Israelites and proselytes in Rome that before their
soul can be born-again, or re-married to the new Man, Christ the anointed Word, their old husband
the Law, must be dead to them.
Romans 7:1-4, "Don't you understand, my Hebrew brothers in Christ, that when a person dies the
Law no longer holds them in it's power?" To illustrate, when a woman marries, the Law binds her to
her husband so long as he lives. But if he is dead, she is no longer bound to him; and the laws of
marriage no longer apply to her. Accordingly she may remarry. But if she marries another while her
husband lives, she shall be an adulteress (and subject to stoning): but if her husband is dead, she
is free from that law; and may legally marry another man."
(Your husband and lord used to be the Law of Moses, but you are accounted dead through your
fellowship with Christ in His death (II Corinthians 5:14; Colossians 3:3). Galatians 3:10, "For all
who depend on the works of the Law live under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who
does not abide by all that is written in the book of the Law and do it." Therefore "through the Law
you died to the Law, that you might live unto God" - Galatians 2:19).
"Accordingly, my Brethren, you also, as the widowed wife, were made dead to the Law (and
released from the marriage covenant which was nailed to the Cross); it is dead and has no more
authority over you. Then you revived with Christ and resurrected to newness of Life in Him, and are
a new person. Now you are married to the One Who rose from the dead you can bring forth fruit
unto God".
In representing the Law as the husband or ruler of the soul Paul types the fidelity of the
Spiritual relationship with the fidelity of a wife to her natural husband. As the natural
husband is ruler over the wife through the covenant of marriage, the Law has dominion over all who
have entered into covenant relationship with it. Everyone who is delivered by the new-birth from the
Law as a covenant, is married to Christ by the Spirit of Life, and delivered from the bondage of sin
which shall never more have dominion over them (I John 3:9; 5:18).
It would be spiritual adultery for one bound by Mosaic Law and with no provision for loosing their
soul to take a new belief, as it would be natural adultery for a woman bound in marriage to take a
new husband. Hence when Israel "joined herself to idols," God "put her away and gave her a bill of
divorcement," then Judah "committed adultery with stones and stocks" (Jeremiah 3:8-9) so He put
her away also, for it is in the power of the husband, not the wife, to repudiate the relationship
(Deuteronomy 24:1-2).
Do you see how important words are? One word can condemn us to hell fire, whilst another Word
can make us joint heirs with Jesus Christ. We must respect words. Words carry spirits, for they are
the expressed thoughts of people ruled by One Spirit or the other. Words can make you the Bride of
Christ or a harlot daughter of mystery Babylon. Colloquial language is full of slang, jargon and filth
when spoken. When written the spelling is atrocious, there is no order in grammar or syntax, and
the integrity of its message is lost in "political correctness".
Jesus told us to enunciate what we mean, and honor what we've said. As the words of her
marriage vow bind a woman to obey her husband so long as he lives, the Word of the Old
Covenant bound Israel so long as the Covenant was in effect. When Israel took to serving
strange gods, she committed adultery against Jehovah. And when the church which claims to be the
Bride of Christ (by the New Covenant) adds to or takes from His unchanging Word, she has usurped
His authority and committed adultery with another spirit (Revelation 22:17-19). Like Israel before
her, she is called an adulteress: a whore, and the mother of harlots, whose end is to be stoned from
heaven and burned in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 17:1-5; 2:21-23; 13:10; 18:1-20).
Before you speak, be sure your words are His Word, and honor your commitments. His Word is

12

Spirit and it is Life. Anything more or less is not His Word, and is death. "But if her husband be
dead, she is free from that Law; and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress".
The prophet Paul said, "sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under the Law but
under grace" (Romans 6:14-15).
Galatians 2:19, "Likewise, my brethren, like the widowed wife you were made dead to any duty to
serve your old husband the Law, whose requirement of a life for a life has been met and it has
passed away".
As a Divine revelation the Law had to grow old and vanish away; however, as a human
ordinance, it has itself inflicted death and therefore still retains its former historical and
ethical (though not religious) force toward those who are not dead to it by a new-birth.
"For as many as seek justification by the works of the Law are under the curse because they are
bound to keep all of the precepts of the Law" (Galatians 3:10; Deuteronomy 27:26). Fellowship with
the death of Christ embraces freedom from the curse of the Law and this includes the death of our
old nature (Romans 6:6).
Romans 7:4, "We are no longer married and under dominion to the Law and are free to marry
Anothereven Him who is raised from the dead." So not only are we His purchased possession, but
having been dead with Him, as risen again, we can be united only with the Risen One. We died in
Christ on Calvary and were raised together with Him to live in newness of life (Ephesians 2:6).
Therefore our continued connection with the Law of this mortal life would be a misalliance.
"We are now married to our new Husband, the risen Word, in order that we should bring forth fruit
unto God." By passing the Life through the Body we bring forth children to God"Spirit babes,"
thereby fulfilling God's command to "be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth" (Genesis 1:28).
"But when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions of sins which were brought to our consciousness
by the Law, were constantly producing sinful deeds, so that we brought forth fruit unto death."
Spiritual bastards! Denominational children born of carnal creeds and not faith.
"But now we are delivered from the Law, being dead to what once held us captive [as souls in
prison], so that now we serve in the new relationship of the Spirit by faith, and not in the old
relationship of literal obedience to the letter".
In the natural application of marriage and divorce, "the Law has dominion over a person as long as
they live." And through the marriage vow the man and his wife are one flesh (Genesis 2:24). But
the husband is the head of the body and is to rule over her because he is a spoken Word whereas
she was made secondarily for him as a by-product from him (Genesis 2:18, 21-22; 3:16; I
Corinthians 11:3-16). And she is bound to serve him so long as he lives. But when the head is dead
the body is freed from his dominion.
Matthew 19:3-12, "The Pharisees came to Jesus, tempting Him, saying, Is it lawful for a man to put
away his wife for every cause?" (The same hypocritical spirit on their denominational brothers today
tries to fault God's elect by quoting His Word out of context when they are not prepared to receive
correction themselves). "Jesus answered, Have you not read, that He who made them at the
beginning made them male and female, (or matched pairsGenesis 1:27the woman was created
and named in AdamGenesis 5:2). Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and be
inseparably united to his wife (as if stuck with glue): and the two shall be one flesh".
(The man leaves his father and his mother to unite with his wife but she must first obtain her
father's permission since she lives under his token and headship (Genesis 2:24; I Corinthians 7:3638 and Numbers 30:1-5). The consent granted, she has lawfully left her father and mother and
formally come under the headship of her husband, even before the wedding ceremony, for the
betrothal is the marriage. To this day, when a man wants to marry a girl he must ask her father's

13

permission. But because the church is apostate and ministers know all about denominational
traditions without faith in God's Word, they don't understand the revelation behind these customs
which is a witness against them).
"So they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put
asunder".
(Those who are born-again have been joined together in God with Christ the revealed Word. They
have "eternal security" and can never be separated from their Lord (Romans 8:28-39; Ephesians
4:30). Those who think they've been joined by catechisms, first mass, Christenings, baptisms and
man-made creeds, are still married to the world and God can put them away at any time, just as a
man and women who've been united by some backslidden pastor or half-drunk magistrate can be
separated. There's no glue of the Holy Spirit to bind them permanently together).
"Then why, they asked, did Moses say that a man may divorce his wife merely by writing her a
letter of dismissal?" Jesus replied, "Due to the hardness of your hearts Moses permitted you to put
away your wives: but it was not so from the beginning."
("In the beginning", Adam's heart was not hard but tender toward Eve, insomuch that he voluntarily
joined her in death in order that she would be redeemed. However we are not "in the beginning"
today).
"And I tell you, that anyone who divorces his wife, except for fornication, and marries another,
commits adultery: and whoever marries her commits adultery" (because she already has a living
husband). "His disciples then said, If the man is bound to his wifewhether she be quarrelsome,
petulant, prodigal, foolish, barren, an alcoholic or troublesome by numberless viceshe is better
not to marry at all." (As Paul advisedI Corinthians 7:1, 7-8, 26-28, 37-40).
"Jesus replied, The gift to conquer the natural desires of the human constitution is not given to all.
For the gift of continence is given to three sorts of persons:1. To some who are eunuchs by dint of birthwithout their choice.
2. To some by violence of men against their choice.
3. To others by grace and choice that they may wait upon the Lord without distraction and glorify
Him in a single life."
In the case of her committing adultery, she has put him away! She is dead to him as if she
were stoned under the Law, and he can marry again (Deuteronomy 22:22-27). Or if she
refuses to bear her husband children he can marry another because by refusing to bear a further
part of Him in a godly seed she has put him away and renounced their union; refusing to procreate
life which was God's commission (Genesis 1:28).
When Vashti refused King Xerxes he put her away and took Esther as his queen. Likewise at the end
of each of the Church Ages Jesus Christ put away His espoused denominational wife who repudiated
the present Truth by impersonating a past Move of the Spirit that could no longer produce Life. The
natural types the Spiritual: Christ divorces nominal Christians who refuse the Word for their hour
because in refusing to receive His Life, be fruitful, and multiply, they have rejected the Holy Spirit
which is the unpardonable sin and are dead to Him (Matthew 12:32; I John 1:7).
When Wesley's Message added Sanctification to Luther's Message of Justification by grace through
faith and the Lutheran, Presbyterian and Anglican churches refused impregnation by a further
measure of the Holy Spirit, they denied Christ His offspring and He put them away (Isaiah 53:10;
63:23; 28:13; Genesis 2:18; John 6:63). When God added the Pentecostal Message, the
Methodists, Baptists and Nazarenes refused Him, so He put them away. Finally, when the revelation
of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form His rejection by the Laodiceans
put Him outside the door of all denominations. Since He is no longer a Mediator for PART-Word He

14

cannot get back in, and without the end-time Message their people cannot cross the chasm to Him
(Revelation 3:17-20; I Corinthians 13:10). So Jesus is now calling the virgins to "Come out of the
great Roman whore and her harlot daughter churches with their adulterous creeds and traditions"
(Matthew 25:6; II Corinthians 6:14-18; Revelation 17:1-6; 18:1-4).
With the exception of the human race, all creatures were created in pairs, male and
female. "In the beginning," God created Adam then He made Eve and joined them together, and so
long as they were at one they were co-equal in nature: "The Lord God warned the man, saying, You
may freely partake every tree of the garden but the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evilfor in
the day you partake of that Tree you will certainly die" (Genesis 2:16-17). The man could not break
the Covenant because he was God's Spoken Word created in the image and glory of God. Woman is
not a spoken Word but a by-product of man, made for his glory and co-equal in the Covenant with
liberty to choose obedience and Life, or self-will and death. Not being Word she could be deceived
on the revealed Word, but so long as she remained under pre-eminence in union with her Word
husband she would not err and could not fall.
They were co-equal so long as they were at one in God's Covenant by agreement in His Word
(Genesis 1:27; Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 4:13; Hebrews 8:11). "But the woman being deceived
was in the transgression" and crossed the Word from Eternity into time according to the curse: "the
day you partake Lucifer's wisdom you will certainly die." So when Eve separated from the Spoken
Word and her man she lost her co-equality in nature and God placed woman under a separate
Covenant, forbidding her to preach and to teach His Word or to usurp authority over the man. From
now on she must be in subjection and her husband is to rule over her.
After "the beginning" they are no longer co-equal in nature and God introduced a
polygyny covenant with all nature. One male could have many females; one stallion many
mares; one rooster, a yard full of hens; one David after God's own heart and five hundred wives;
and one Solomon with a thousand wives typing Christ and His Bride. But not one of those women
could have more than one living husband.
Now natural life will be born by women through sexual desire, bringing us into time and death (Job
14:1). After testing by the Spoken Word of the hour an election will receive Spiritual Life by a
second birth through faith in the Man, redeeming them back to eternity, resurrected in a glorified
body not born of sex but called from the dust of the earth like Adam.
In summary:

A minister may only marry a virgin as he is a type of Christ who is only marrying a virgin to
the Word.
Man may only put away his wife and re-marry if she is found to have been in fornication and
not confessed it before marriage. She is then free to marry.
Man can re-marry if his wife commits adultery or if she refuses to bear his children since she
has put him away. She cannot re-marry so long as she has a living husband.

Amos 3:3 inquires, "Can two walk together, except they be agreed"? God's whole purpose is to
fellowship in the common faith through eternity with His Own expressed Attributes manifest in the
glorified flesh of His Family. These are they who cast down imaginations, and every high thing that
exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and lead every thought and purpose away captive into
the obedience of Christ.
It is far later than we think. The end-time Message of God's prophet has restored the apostolic faith
(Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 17:11; Acts 3:21-23), finished the mystery of God (I Corinthians 13:10;
Revelation 10:7), and is now calling His elect out from all denominational teachings into oneness
with the their Husband, the Word, for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the great translation
(Romans 8:19-22; Matthew 25:1-13; I Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 18:4; 22;17-19). By coming

15

under pre-eminence to the Word the last Adam's Bride will accomplish where the first Adam's Bride
failed.
Since Christ is no longer a Mediator for the ignorance of part-Word and we now have the perfect
interpretation of the Word through the revelation of the Seven Seals, when she comes to maturity
and the Seventh Trump sounds, the end-time Bride will be co-equal in the Word with her Husband
Who is the Word. He will have the pre-eminence, and what she says God will do in the manifestation
of the Sons of God. bb950823.htm (revised)
