BEHOLH THE LORD’S CHRIST VOL 2 ON 5 JUNE 2021 @ Household of God Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. BY BISHOP CHIDUBEM JONATHAN APPROVED AND AUTHORIZED BY THE SON OF MAN THE RIGHTEOUS BRANCH
…I first of all introduced that MAN to you, through the Prophets, through the Holy Scriptures, through supernatural occurrences. I introduced the MAN to you, whose Voice you must harken and all of you said Amen that God has blessed us in this generation. We thank God for coming down in Person, for we all agreed that we now have God in Person as our Teacher. We have Him in
Person as our Teacher, for no man can teach like this if He is not God. We acknowledged it.
ACTION TIME PART 3 (OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE) CAMP MEETING; preached on Wednesday, 31st December, 1997; Pg. 46 vs. 22 – 23

WE HAVE SCRIPTURAL PROPHECIES
In the time of Isaiah, they said, “Who does Isaiah think he is,” the people say, “to speak to us like this! Are we little children, barely old enough to talk? 10He tells us everything over and over again, a line at a time and in such simple words!” [Isaiah 28:9 – 10 LB]. they were disgusted at him.
2. In the time of Jesus see what happened. 24So for the second time they called in the man who had been blind and told him, “Give the glory to God, not to Jesus, for we know Jesus is an evil person.”
3. 25“I don’t know whether he is good or bad,” the man replied, “but I know this: I was blind, and now I see!” 26“But what did he do?” they asked.
4. “How did he heal you?” 27“Look!” the man exclaimed. “I told you once; didn’t you listen? Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”
5. 28Then they cursed him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. 29We know God has spoken to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t know anything about him.”
6. WE KNOW GOD SPOKE TO MOSES BUT AS FOR THIS MAN WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE HE CAME FROM, AWAY WITH HIM. THEY SAID THAT THEY KNEW JESUS WAS AN EVIL MAN.
7. 26But here he is preaching in public, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that our leaders have learned, after all, that he really is the Messiah? 27But how could he be? For we know where this man was born; when Christ comes, he will just appear, and no one will know where he comes from.”
8. 28So Jesus, in a sermon in the Temple, called out, “Yes, you know me and where I was born and raised, but I am the representative of one you don’t know, and he is Truth John 7:26-28 LB
9. 29-30“Yes, woe to you, Pharisees, and you religious leaders—hypocrites! For you build monuments to the prophets killed by your fathers and lay flowers on the graves of the godly men they destroyed, and say, ‘We certainly would never have acted as our fathers did.’ Matthew 23:29-30 LB.
10. 47Woe to you! For you are exactly like your ancestors who killed the prophets long ago. Luke 11:47 LB.
11. They kill the prophets and turn around to build and adorn their tombs; erect statues for them and claim they are venerating them.
12. They said, “If we were there in the days of our fathers, we would not have killed the prophets. We would have believed Moses.” He said, “You are all wrong.
13. Whatever you are today is what you would have been there.” You are the same you. I am the same I. After they killed Him, they then acknowledged Him to be the Son of God and became afraid of His blood being upon their head.
14. Those that later claimed they believed concluded He was the last Saviour to come. Thus, when Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) came they could not believe Him. The people He came to save persecuted Him and rejected His message.
15. When He left the scene, they came back to claim that He was the last Messenger, the last Prophet. They forgot that He told them to expect twelve Khalifas to appear every century until the time of judgement when the thirteenth who will be called Al-Mahdi will come.
16. “Verily God will appoint for this Ummah in the beginning of every century, ONE who will restore for it its faith”. (Abu Dawood, Kitabul Fitan).
17. How can those followers go to perdition whose beginning is marked with my appearance and after me 12 radiant and wise (Khalifas) and the end with Messiah, son of Mary.
18. Nevertheless, BETWEEN IT WILL OCCUR THRUST OF COMMOTION AND ITS PERPETRATORS HAVE NOTHING WITH ME NOR I HAVE ANY CONNECTION WITH THEM. (Ikmalud Din, p. 157) if He were the last what would these people called.
19. So far, we have confirmed scriptural prophecies concerning the coming of the Greatest One; we have also seen timeline from Ancient Manuscripts and Islamic teachings saying the same thing on the subject; All in agreement with Christian teachings. We have also confirmed events of restoration of Israel back to their homeland after almost 2000 years starting from 1948.
20. Remember what Jesus told His disciples, 32“Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When her branch is tender and the leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is almost here.
21. 33Just so, when you see all these things beginning to happen, you can know that my return is near, even at the doors. 34 Then at last this age will come to its close.
22. The fig tree representing Israel began to sprout in 1948. He said, just so when you see all these things beginning to happen you can know that my return is near, even at the doors.
23. Then at last, then at last this age will come to its close; then at last Adam and his descendants will be ushered into Paradise. He goes further to say, 37-38“The world will be at ease—banquets and parties and weddings—just as it was in Noah’s time before the sudden coming of the Flood; 39 people wouldn’t believe what was going to happen until the Flood actually arrived and took them all away. So shall my coming be Matthew 24:32-34; 37-39 LB.
24. Let us hear what Buddhism (Buddhist prophecy) has to say about this subject. “At that period, brethren, there will arise in the world an Exalted One named Maitreya, Fully Awakened, abounding in wisdom and goodness, happy, with knowledge of the worlds, unsurpassed as a guide to mortals willing to be led, a teacher for gods and men, an Exalted One, a Buddha, even as I am now.
25. He, by himself, will thoroughly know and see, as it were face to face, this universe, with Its worlds of the spirits, Its Brahmas and Its Maras, and Its world of recluses and Brahmins, of princes and peoples, even as I now, by myself, thoroughly know and see them” (Digha Nikaya, 26).
26. “Then when the Dispensation of the perfect Buddha is 5,000 years old, the relics, not receiving reverence and honor will go to places where they can receive them… This, Sariputta, is called the disappearance of relics” (The Surangama Sutra).
27. The above passage clearly predicts, as so many other religions of the world have, that when society degrades and God (and His religion) are thought of as second to intellectualism, then the Savior will appear. Likewise, in the Bible, we find the confusion that must take place before the coming of the Messiah.
28. We can see that the same conditions are given in all religions. Each religion gives only a slightly different account of the times before the coming of the Messiah, and each religion likewise gives only a slightly different description of how the Messiah will come.
29. Nevertheless, with all the promises of moral degradation and societal deterioration and likewise with all the promises of a coming Messiah, it must be realized that all the religions of the world, in their own manner, are predicting the same event.
30. This is to say that the titles Mahdi, Christ, Krishna, Shah-Bahram, Kalki, Maitreya, Muhammad, and the like, are interchangeable just as the prophecies that herald each of their appearances are likewise.
31. The world, in all its niches and groups, are awaiting the same thing (the same Person, the same Man), that they all await Maitreya.
32. One of the most significant of these prophecies of the world, are the ones that give dates or times by which we may recognize when the Messiah will arise.
33. The prophecy given by Buddha gives a near to exact date of when the Maitreya will come. The clue that helps us to understand when the Maitreya will be manifested is:
34. “ . . . when the Dispensation of the perfect Buddha is 5000 years old.” Buddha, who was sent to India, spoke to a Hindu audience, in terminology that they could relate to and understand.
35. Considering that Buddha was speaking to followers of Hinduism, He was speaking in terms of the Hindu system of dating.
36. Hinduism is expecting the appearance of the Kalki Avatar, shortly after the beginning of the Krita age and the end of the Kali age. The exact date of when the Kali age ends and the Krita age begins is unknown.
37. However, IT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED THAT THE KALI AGE ENDED AT NOON ON THE FIRST OF AUGUST 1943 A.D.
38. ASSUMING THEN THAT THIS DATE IS CORRECT, THE BUDDHIST EQUIVALENT YEAR (WHICH PERTAINS TO THE DISPENSATION OF THE PERFECT BUDDHA LASTING 5,000 YEARS) WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY THE YEAR 2,486 IN THE BUDDHIST ERA.
39. According to Buddha, and explanation above, the Dharma would disappear 2,500 years after His Dispensation began (1957 A.D.), and shortly after the five disappearances, the Maitreya would come.
40. This interpretation of Scripture is supported by a number of ancient Chinese’s Buddhist commentaries, here is one such example:
41. “The monks and stream attainers (followers) will be strong in their union with Dharma for 500 years after the Blessed One’s Parinirvana.
42. In the second 500 years they will be strong in meditation; in the third period of 500 years they will be strong in erudition.
43. In the fourth 500 years period they will only be occupied with gift giving. The final or fifth period of 500 years will see only fighting and reproving among the monks and followers.
44. The pure Dharma will then become invisible (disappear)” (Abhidharmakosha, 4.12c. III. p. 41). From these two examples we may conclude that Maitreya should arise sometime around 1957 A.D.
45. However, are there any other clues for the date of the Maitreya? Yes, and we will review one more before we reach our conclusion:
46. “I have another prophecy, also, Tibetan: It is predicted that the manifestation of Maitreya shall come after the wars…” (Maitreya Lord of the World, by Dr. M. Doreal).
47. Here is the conclusion that we have reached: (1) The Maitreya would have to arise sometime after the Kali age and at the beginning of the Krita age, which would be sometime after August 1st, 1943.
48. (2) Around 2,500 years after the beginning of the Dispensation of the Buddha, the Maitreya would arise. This would be around 1957 A.D.
49. (3) The Maitreya would come after the great wars, in an age that was beginning to prosper and rebuild. With these three points we can reach our final conclusion that is:
50. Maitreya will arise between the year 1943 A.D. and 1957 A.D. WITH THESE THREE POINTS WE CAN REACH OUR FINAL CONCLUSION THAT IS: MAITREYA WILL ARISE BETWEEN THE YEAR 1943 A.D. AND 1957 A.D
AND IT SHALL BE IN THAT DAY THAT THE ROOT OF JESSE SHALL STAND AS A SIGNAL FOR THE PEOPLES; OF HIM SHALL THE NATIONS INQUIRE AND SEEK KNOWLEDGE, AND HIS DWELLING SHALL BE GLORY [HIS REST GLORIOUS]! AND IN THAT DAY THE LORD SHALL AGAIN LIFT UP HIS HAND A SECOND TIME TO RECOVER (ACQUIRE AND DELIVER) THE REMNANT OF HIS PEOPLE WHICH IS LEFT, FROM ASSYRIA, FROM LOWER EGYPT, FROM PATHROS, FROM ETHIOPIA, FROM ELAM [IN PERSIA], FROM SHINAR [BABYLONIA], FROM HAMATH [IN UPPER SYRIA], AND FROM THE COUNTRIES BORDERING ON THE [MEDITERRANEAN] SEA
Isaiah 11:10-11 AMP

THE COMING OF THE GREATEST ONE (2)
More Hints About Who The Maitreya Will Be: “The Lord replied, ‘Maitreya, the best of men, will then leave the Tushita heavens, and go for his last rebirth.
2. As soon as he is born he will walk seven steps forward, and where he puts down his feet a jewel or a lotus will spring up.
3. He will raise his eyes to the ten directions, and will speak these words: ‘This is my last birth.
4. There will be no rebirth after this one. Never will I come back here, but, all pure, I shall win Nirvana.” (Buddhist Scriptures by Edward Conze) Buddha tells us several key things about Maitreya and Maitreya’s Message.
5. The first of these is that Maitreya will leave “the Tushita heavens.” That is to say that Maitreya comes from heaven to earth. The same thing was said about Christ in the Bible.
6. The words, “and go for his last rebirth,” refers to this being Christ’s final appearance on earth as Messiah that is recorded in all Scriptures. He will bring the Final Revelation of God to man.
7. He Opens the Book Sealed with the Seven Seals and Reveals the Unity of all Religions. So, what Buddha is saying is that Maitreya (Christ Spirit) is the final appearance of the Buddha, as Kalki is the final Avatar of Vishnu and the Seventh Angel, Maitreya is on earth.
8. When He comes a jewel will arise which is His Teachings. The second meaning is concerned with Maitreya’s revelation of the unfolding lotus petal, which is the base of the Mission’s sign.
9. And finally, in regards to the words, “This is my last birth. There will be no Great Revelation after this one. Never will I come back here, but, all pure, I shall win Nirvana,” simply confirms the statement in the Bible said about the Seventh Angel, “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel… the mystery of God should be finished…(Rev 10:7).”
10. MORMONISM is in agreement with the foregoing. “For behold, the time cometh, and is no far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipresent who reigneth; who was, and is from all eternity; to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth among men.” Book of Mormon, Mosiah chapter 3 verse 5
11. SO FAR, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROOF THAT THE EARLIEST TIME TO EXPECT THIS GREAT PERSON THAT WILL COME FROM ADAM’S DESCENDANT, FROM AMONG THE SONS OF MEN, THE WORD THAT CREATED ALL WHOM ADAM TRANSGRESSED;
12. WE HAVE NARROWED THE TIME DOWN TO 1948 USING SCRIPTURE AND PROPHECY AND 1957 POSSIBLE UPPER LIMIT BASED ON BUDDHA’S REVELATION.
13. Remember the words of Jesus, 32Now learn a parable of the fig tree (Israel); When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
14. 33so likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it (My return) is near, even at the doors. 34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
15. VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THIS GENERATION, THE GENERATION THAT WILL WITNESS THE FIG TREE, ISRAEL BUDDING, SHALL NOT PASS, TILL ALL THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED.
16. THERE IS NO WAY THIS MAN CAN COME WITHOUT PROPHETS, WISE MEN, MESSENGERS GOING AHEAD TO PREPARE THE HEART OF PEOPLE IN OTHER TO ALERT PEOPLE ABOUT HIM AND PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON HOW TO RECOGNISE HIM.
17. Let us consider some excerpts from Islamic hadiths and teaching. Hz. Ali ibn Abu Talib says: The promised Mahdi (as) will be descended from me and will appear in the End Times. THERE IS NO OTHER MAHDI AWAITED BY ANY OTHER NATION APART FROM HIM.” (Isbat al-Hudat, Vol. 7, p. 148.)
18. In this hadith our Prophet (saas) tells us that MUSLIMS, JEWS and CHRISTIANS are all awaiting the same Savior, and that ALL THREE FAITHS ARE AWAITING HAZRAT MAHDI (as).
19. “…At that point, just when the movement appears to be very strong, THE RELIGION OF TRUE CHRISTIANITY, WHICH COMPRISES THE COLLECTIVE PERSONALITY OF JESUS (pbuh), WILL EMERGE.
20. That is, it will descend from the skies of divine mercy. PRESENT DAY CHRISTIANITY WILL BE PURIFIED IN THE FACE OF THAT REALITY; IT WILL CAST OFF SUPERSTITION AND DISTORTION, AND UNITE WITH THE TRUTHS OF ISLAM.
21. Christianity will in effect be transformed into a sort of Islam. Following the Qur’an, the collective personality of Christianity will be in the rank of follower, and Islam, in that of leader.
22. True religion will become a mighty force as a result of its joining it. Although defeated before the atheistic movement while separate, as a result of their union Christianity and Islam will acquire the capability to defeat and rout it.
23. Then the person of Jesus (Upon whom be peace), who is present with his human body in the world of the heavens, will come to lead the current of true religion, as, relying on the promise of One Powerful Over All Things, the Bringer of Sure News has said …
24. When Jesus (pbuh) comes, NOT EVERYONE WILL KNOW HIM TO BE THE TRUE JESUS. HIS ELECT AND THOSE CLOSE TO HIM WILL RECOGNIZE HIM THROUGH THE LIGHT OF BELIEF.
25. IT WILL NOT BE SELF-EVIDENT SO THAT EVERYONE WILL RECOGNIZE HIM… (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, 15th Letters Second Current)
26. A ZEALOUS, SELF-SACRIFICING COMMUNITY KNOWN AS A CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY BUT WORTHY OF BEING CALLED “MUSLIM CHRISTIANS,” WILL WORK TO UNITE THE TRUE RELIGION OF JESUS (pbuh) WITH THE REALITY OF ISLAM and will kill and rout that society of the Dajjal under the leadership of Jesus , thus saving humanity from atheism.
27. This important mystery is very lengthy. Since we have discussed it briefly in other places, here we make do with this indication…
28. (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, 29th Letter 7th Section Sixth Sign)
29. THAT IS, IT WILL ONLY BE A REVEALED, ELEVATED, PURE RELIGION THAT WILL BE ABLE TO OVERTURN HIS WAY AND RAPACIOUS REGIME, AND ELIMINATE THEM.
30. Such a religion will emerge among the true followers of Jesus (PUH), and it will follow the Qur’an and become united with it.
31. On the coming of Jesus (PUH) and EMERGENCE OF THE TRUE CHRISTIAN RELIGION, the Antichrist’s irreligious way will be wiped out and will cease.
32. The Antichrist’s person could otherwise be killed by a mere germ or by influenza (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, The Rays: The Fifth Ray – p.101)
33. When one thousand and two hundred and forty years WILL PASS, God will raise Mahdi. (An-Najmus Saqih, Vol. 2, p. 209)
34. How can those followers go to perdition whose beginning is marked with my appearance and after me 12 radiant and wise (Khalifas) and the end with Messiah, son of Mary.
35. Nevertheless, BETWEEN IT WILL OCCUR THRUST OF COMMOTION AND ITS PERPETRATORS HAVE NOTHING WITH ME NOR I HAVE ANY CONNECTION WITH THEM. (Ikmalud Din, p. 157)
36. Before pondering over these traditions of the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, regarding the advent of the Messiah and Mahdi, it must be kept in view that the Holy Quran as well as the traditions of the Holy Prophet are unanimous in their verdict that Jesus, son of Mary, has died his natural death.
37. Further, the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Holy Prophet both are in unison that the dead never return to life in this transitory world of ours.
38. Hence when it is narrated in the traditions that Jesus son of Mary will come, it should not be taken literally but rather to be understood in the metaphorical sense as has been interpreted by a scholar of great repute and regenerator of his century, Mohyyud Din Ibn Arabi, when he says: “His descent in later ages will be with a DIFFERENT body.” (Tafsir Araisul Bayan, Vol. 1, p. 262).
39. In his famous sermon at the Umayyad Mosque in 1911, Bediüzzaman provided important dates for the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the period when he would be active: IN 1371 (corresponding to 1951 Gregorian Calendar), THE SUN BEGAN TO RISE (al-Fajr as-Sadiq) OR WILL BEGIN TO RISE.
40. EVEN IF THIS IS ONLY THE INITIAL REDNESS IN THE HORIZON (al-Fajr al-Kazib), IN 30-40 YEARS AL-FAJR AS-SADIQ WILL APPEAR (i.e. 1980/1990s His Ministry will become active).
41. (The Damascus Sermon, p. 23). Said Nursi stressed the time 30 and 40 years after the year Hijri 1371…. The 1990s are the years when Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is active.
42. It is related that our Prophet (saas) said: The Hour will not come until the Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)], my descendant, appears. This will be at a time permitted by Allah.
43. Those who follow him will be saved, while those who hang back will be perished. O servants of Allah! Fear Allah:
44. WHEN HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) APPEARS, ABANDON EVERYTHING AND RUN TO HIM BY ALL POSSIBLE MEANS because he ıs the calıph of Allah and my heir.
45. (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 51, p. 65; Al-Hurr al-Amili, Ithbat al-Hudat, Vol. 6, p. 382)
46. HE WILL BE SENT WHEN HE IS BETWEEN 30 AND 40. The Mahdi is one of my children. HE IS AROUND 40. (Al-Haythami, Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar, P. 41)
47. From Yahya ibn Nufal, indeed Musa ibn Ja’afar (as) raise his hands and supplicates after Asr prayer, I inquire from him saying, to whom did you offer prayer for? He said: to Al-Mahdi among the family of Muhammad (saas) and said:
48. HE IS HAVING BIG STOMACH, his eyebrow very close, HIS LEGS ARE VERY ENERGETIC, HIS SHOULDER IS WIDE (Bihar al-Anwar: 86-81).
49. Humran bin A’yân says: To Imam Muhammad Bakir: “… Your Lord Hazrat Mahdi (As) will have a wide stomach …” (Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani p. 253).
50. He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] is a young man of medium stature and with a beautiful face … the radiance of his face shines like day in his hair, beard, and the blackness of his head, and gives him greatness. (Al-Uqayli, Al-Najmu Al-Saqib).
51. When our Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] appears, Almighty Allah WILL PROVIDE MEANS WHEREBY EVEN PEOPLE LIVING MANY MILES AWAY WILL BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO, SEE AND HEAR OUR QAIM FROM WHEREVER THEY MAY BE. (Mu’jam Ahadith al-Imam al-Mahdi, Vol. 4 p. 57 and Bihar Vol. 52 p. 336).
52. One hadith states: ‘Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come. There will be a cloud just above his head. There will be an angel there who will cry out: This is Hazrat Mahdi (as), follow him…
53. HAZRAT MAHDI’S (AS) FOLLOWERS WILL NOT BE ARAB. They will be from other nationalities. BUT THEY WILL SPEAK ARABIC. (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha’ah li-ashrat al-sa’ah).
54. Jabir quotes from Abu Ja’far: “When Umar asked Hazrat Ali (ra) about Mahdi, he (Umar) said: OIbn Abu Talib (Hazrat Ali), tell me about Mahdi.
55. What is his name?” And Hazrat Ali (ra) said: “My dear, close friend, our Prophet saas) said: “Allah had me promise not to reveal his name to anybody until he would appear.
56. His [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] name is one of the knowledge which Allah entrusted upon His messenger. (Iqmal al-din) (Gaybah, Allame Muhammad Baqir Majlisi, Ansariyan Publishing, Iran, 2007).
57. I believe I am a servant of that wondrous Person who will come in the future, and a rear-guard to set background for him and a pioneering soldier of THAT GREAT COMMANDER. (Barla Addendum, p. 162)
58. Let us hear what Oskar Ernst Bernhardt, a.k.a. Abdrushin of Germany (1875-1941) has to say in his book In the Light of the Truth: Grail Message.
59. It is said that he was described in leading newspapers as the Messiah of the Tyrol and the Prophet of Vomperberg in Austria Europe. In his Sermon, The Stranger, he says,
60. Once more Darkness had settled over the earth. Triumphantly it cast its shadow over men; and barred their way to the Pure-Spiritual Realm.
61. The Light of God had withdrawn from them. The body that had served It as an earthly vessel hung bleeding and ravaged on the Cross, a victim of the protest of those to whom It wished to bring happiness and holy peace.
62. At the summit of the entire Creation, in the radiant vicinity of God, stands the Grail Castle as the Temple of Light.
63. Great sorrow prevailed there over the human spirits gone astray in the depths who out of hostility and with their blind know-it-all attitude, closed themselves off from the Truth and allowed themselves to be driven by the hate-filled Darkness so far as to commit this crime against the Son of God.
64. The curse thus created by mankind fell heavily on the whole world, pressing them into an ever greater limitation of understanding.
65. IN GRAVE WONDER, A YOUTH BEHELD THIS MONSTROUS HAPPENING FROM THE CASTLE OF THE GRAIL… THE FUTURE SON OF MAN.
66. NOTE IT, A YOUTH, A MAN IN HIS YOUTHFUL AGE – THE FUTURE SON OF MAN. He was already then being prepared for His Mission, a process which took thousands of years; HIS PREPARATION TOOK THOUSANS OF YEARS.
67. RIGHT FROM CREATION HE HAS BEEN STANDING IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD OF THE SPIRITS ACCORDING TO ENOCH’S PROPHECY
68. 1And there I saw One whose face looked ancient. His head was white like wool, and with Him was another being whose countenance had the appearance of a man, and his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels.
69. 2And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning that Son of Man, who he was, and where came from, and why he went with the Ancient One? And he answered and said to me:
70. 3“This is the son of Man who hath righteousness, with whom dwells righteousness, and who reveals all the treasures of that which is hidden, because the Lord of spirits hath chosen him, and whose lot has preeminence before the Lord of spirits in righteousness and is for ever. Book of Ethiopic Enoch 46:1-3
GOD IS DESTROYING YOU OR DESTROYING ME BECAUSE OF MY OWN INIQUITY PERSONALLY. WHICHEVER TREATMENT WE ARE GETTING FROM GOD, IS A REFLECTION OF HOW WE HAVE OBEYED HIM. THIS IS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT OBEY GOD AND INVITE GOD IN YOUR CASE WITHOUT GOD MAKING A PERMANENT ABODE IN YOUR HEART. PUT YOUR HAND IN THE SCRIPTURES, IT IS NOT THERE! BECAUSE YOU OBEYED GOD AS AN ELECT, CALL HIM IN THE TIME OF TROUBLES AND HE WILL RESPOND IMMEDIATELY, BECAUSE YOU ARE A FAITHFUL BELIEVER.
AN UNBELIEVER IS A BURDEN TO HIMSELF PREACHED ON 10TH JULY, 2020; PG. 97:23-24

NO REASONABLE EXCUSE FOR FAILURE
And at that hour that Son of Man was named in the presence of the Lord of spirits”: And his name was brought before the Head of Days.
2. 3Even before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of heaven were made, His name was named before the Lord of spirits. 4He shall be a staff to the righteous and they shall steady themselves and not fall.
3. And he shall be the light of the Gentiles, and the hope of those who are troubled of heart. 5All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before him, and will praise and bless and sing and celebrate the Lord of spirits.
4. 6And for this reason he has been chosen and hidden in front of (kept safe by) Him, before the creation of the world and for evermore.
5. 7And the wisdom of the Lord of spirits has revealed him to the holy and righteous; For he hath preserved the lot of the righteous, because they have hated and rejected this world of unrighteousness, and have hated all its works and ways in the name of the Lord of spirits.
6. For in his name they are saved, and according to his good pleasure and it is He who has regard to their life. Ethiopic Book of Enoch 48:2-7
7. for He was to descend well-equipped into those lower regions, where Darkness reigned through the volition of mankind.
8. HE WILL DESCEND INTO THOSE LOWER REGIONS, WHERE DARKNESS REIGNED THROUGH THE VOLITION OF MANKIND AMONG THE WORST TYPE OF PEOPLE WHERE NOBODY CAN EXPECT ANTHING GOOD TO COME OUT FROM; THAT IS WHERE YOU WILL FIND HIM; SO, HE HAS TO BE WELL-EQUIPPED.
9. A woman’s hand was gently laid on the shoulder of the dreaming youth. The Primordial Queen of Womanhood stood beside Him, and spoke in a sad and loving voice:
10. “Take in the full impact of this event, dear Son. Such is the battlefield through which you will have to pass in the hour of fulfilment;
11. for at the request of the murdered Saviour, God the Father grants that before the Judgment you shall once more proclaim His Word to the faithless, in order to save those who are still willing to listen to It!”
12. The youth bowed His head in silence and sent up a fervent prayer for strength, for the echo of such great Divine Love reverberated mightily within Him!
13. The tidings of another, final possibility of Grace spread rapidly through all the spheres, and many souls implored God to grant that they might be permitted to help in the great work of the redemption of all those who still wish to find the way to God.
14. The Love of God the Father granted this to many a soul, which was thereby helped in its ascent.
15. In grateful joy the host of these so blessed souls jubilantly gave a solemn pledge of loyalty for the fulfilment of the opportunity to serve which was granted them.
16. Many desired, prayed to be permitted to help in the great work of the redemption with the Son of Man, with grateful joy the blessed souls solemnly pledged their loyalty for the fulfilment of the opportunity to serve which was granted.
17. Thus, were prepared those Called ones, who were later to hold themselves at the disposal of the Envoy of God at His hour of fulfilment on earth. They were carefully developed for these tasks and incarnated on earth at the right time, so that they might be ready whenever the Call reached them; to listen for this Call remained the first fulfilment of their duty But the Stranger on earth had to endure everything patiently, for it was only a quite natural consequence of His existence, so long as mankind was still living in aberration.
18. At the exact hour, even before the end of this arduous time of learning, it came to pass that He met the Companion Who, as a Part of Him, was to journey with Him through earthly life, to participate in the great task according to Divine Ordinance.
19. It was designed that He must marry, of a necessity; So, before the end of His arduous time of learning He met His wife who is a part Him and a part of His Divine task according to Divine Ordinance.
20. Herself a Stranger on earth, She joyfully entered the Will of God through Her own recognition, and gratefully merged with It, in order to become absorbed in it.
21. She Herself a Stranger on earth. Do not begin to ask, what is brother trying to say? It must be according to prophecy, it must be according scripture, it must be according to time.
22. We must not miss the target this time because TIME IS NO MORE! YES SIR.
23. SHE JOYFULLY ENTERED THE WILL OF GOD THROUGH HER OWN RECOGNITION AND GRATEFULLY MERGED WITH IT IN ORDER TO BE ABSORBED WITH IT.
24. Only then came the time for the Called ones, who had once solemnly pledged their loyalty for their service to God! The granting of their petition had been carefully carried out.
25. At the appropriate time they were incarnated on earth. Under faithful guidance they were equipped in the earthly sense with everything they needed for the fulfilment of their respective tasks.
26. It was brought to them, given to them, so conspicuously that they simply could not consider it as anything other than a gift, a loan for the hour of the fulfilment of their former promise.
27. IT IS ONLY AFTER THIS YOUNG MAN, THE SON OF MAN HAS MARRIED THAT THE CALLED ONES, WHO HAD PLEDGED THEIR LOYALTY FOR THEIR SERVICE TO HIM WILL BEGIN TO IDENTIFY WITH HIM IN THIS REGARD.
28. THESE CALLED ONES DESIRED AND MADE THEIR PLEDGES BEFORE, SO AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME THEY INCARNATED, BECAME HUMAN BEINGS EQUIPED WITH EVERYTHING NEEDED.
29. At the precise moment, they came into contact with the Envoy, first through His Word, and then also personally… But many of them, although they sensed the Call, and intuitively perceived something unusual in their souls, had in the meantime in the course of their earthlife, permitted themselves to be so ensnared by purely earthly matters, and to some extent even by the Darkness, that they could not summon up the strength to conquer themselves for the true service, for the fulfilment of which they were permitted to come to the earth for this great time.
30. When the called ones (His ministers finally came in contact with Him through His Word and personally) many of them became carried away by earthly and carnal matters that they could not render true service to fulfil the very task for which they were permitted to be born.
31. A few did show a faint willingness to fulfil, yet their earthly faults prevented them.
32. Unfortunately, there were also those, who although they entered into the path of their mission, sought from the outset first of all to gain earthly advantage for themselves thereby.
33. Even among those of earnest volition there were some who expected Him Whom they were to serve, to smooth their way to the fulfilment, instead of the reverse.
34. Some who managed to take up the task started seeking earthly advantage and gratification for themselves out of it. They expected Him to serve them: provide material and financial aids for them, feed them, take care of their needs for them instead the reverse.
35. Only a few isolated ones really showed themselves capable of growing into their task. Only a few isolated ones, isolated, here and there, really showed themselves capable.
36. Others will sit down and stop making efforts at all; remaining dormant like extinct volcanoes while He is still standing up vibrating and erupting. What a sad news.
37. Only a few isolated ones really showed themselves capable of growing into their task. In the hour of fulfilment these were given tenfold strength, so that the gaps were no longer noticeable, and in loyalty they became capable of accomplishing even more than the large number could ever have achieved.
38. It was with grief that the Stranger on earth saw the havoc among the group of the called ones. THE CALLED ONES TURNED OUT TO BE BAD NEWS TO HIM.
39. That was one of the most bitter experiences for Him! Much as He had learned, much as He suffered at the hands of men… before this last fact He stood uncomprehending; for He found no excuse whatsoever for this failure.
40. HE FOUND NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER; HE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY EXCUSE AT ALL; TO HIM ALL EXCUSES WILL BE CLASSIFIED AS PART OF THE PROBLEM.
41. In His conception a Called one, who, in the granting of his petition, was specially guided and incarnated, could do no other than faithfully carry out his task in the most joyous fulfilment! For what other purpose was he on earth!
42. FOR WHAT OTHER PURPOSE WAS THE CALLED ONES, HIS MINISTERS, WHAT OTHER PURPOSE WERE THEY ON EARTH IF NOT TO SERVE THIS ENVOY Why had he been faithfully protected up to the hour when the Envoy needed him! Everything was given to him solely for the sake of his necessary service.
43. So it was that the Stranger, upon meeting the first Called ones, put His full trust in them.
44. He only regarded them as friends, who simply could not think, intuitively perceive and act in any other way than in the most steadfast loyalty.
45. Was it not the highest, the most precious privilege that could fall to the lot of a human being.
46. … It was inconceivable to Him that any human being, in view of such grace, could or would wantonly waste and trifle away the real purpose of his earth-life.
47. Please remember we are talking about the LORD’S CHRIST; The above will characterize His ministry and those He called into the ministry to help Him as written in the Holy Qu’ran 61:14
48. O you who believe! Be you helpers (in the cause) of Allah as said `Isa, son of Maryam, to the Hawariyyin (the disciples): “Who are my helpers (in the cause) of Allah” The Hawariyyun said: “We are Allah’s helpers” (i.e., we will strive in His cause!).
49. Then a group of the Children of Israel believed and a group disbelieved. So, We gave power to those who believed against their enemies, and they became the victorious (uppermost)
50. Furthermore, in Abdrushin message titled Son of God and Son of Man he says, Whenever Jesus spoke of the Son of Man He spoke prophetically of His coming.
51. He Himself announced it because the coming of the Son of Man is intimately related to the ministry of the Son of God.
52. He said: “But when the Son of Man shall come…” etc. Like everywhere in Creation, this is a cyclical process.
53. The Godhead descended to humanity through Jesus, in order to bring the Truth and sow the seed. The seed sprouted, and the fruit ripens toward the harvest.
54. At the present time within this cycle, humanity, matured through the Truth brought by the Son of God, shall foam upwards to the Godhead in the Son of Man, and through Him reestablish the close connection to God.
55. This is not to be thought of purely symbolically, as so many assume, but the Word will be fulfilled literally through a person, just as it was with Jesus. Between the two Persons, Jesus the Son of God and the Son of Man, lies the immense karma of humanity.
56. … When the Son of God spoke the words: “I am He!” and thereby delivered Himself up to mankind, the immense karma with which mankind burdened itself set in.
57. From that moment on it weighed upon humanity, and in accordance with the inexorable Laws of the Universe forced it lower and lower to the ground, until the final resolution draws near.
58. We are now close to it! It will close in an elliptical cycle. The resolution comes through the Son of Man! … At the same time, however, there is also the strengthening and maturing of the seed that was sown by Jesus.
59. Now the Son of Man, the Envoy of God heralded by Jesus himself, approaches. He will carry on and complete the mission of the Son of God in His service; and will gather the harvest while separating the wheat from the chaff in accordance with Divine Justice.
60. In another message titled The World Teacher he says, The World Teacher is the Son of Man. He is called World Teacher not because He is to teach the World, and will perhaps found a religion that unites the World, or more specifically the earth, or better still humanity on earth, or that dominates the earth; rather, He is called World Teacher because He explains the “World” and brings the teaching about the World.
61. That which man really must know! He teaches how to recognize the “World” in its automatic working, so that earth-man may adjust himself accordingly, thereby making possible his conscious ascent in the recognition of the actual Laws of the World!
62. in his final word he says, Now, at the hour of the Judgment, the Son of Man will not bring explanations about which you can exchange long-winded opinions, but His Word contains commandments which have to be followed quite unalterably by you, if you do not want to perish! — This is the last Word for now. From now on experiencing will testify to the truth of my Message!
………I know I am your Kinsman Redeemer, but how many believe in Me to the saving of their souls? You can believe in Me as your Brother. You can believe in Me as an Apostle. You can believe in Me as a Son of God, but to believe Me as the Elohim, the Saviour, the Redeemer, the all and all, in whom dwelleth the fullness of the God head bodily, this is only by divine revelation. Only those that are given to believe this can believe it. The rest will not.

HE WAS IN A HUMAN TEMPLE HIDING HIMSELF FROM THE WORLD
In the wake of twentieth century William Marrion Branham (1909–1965) an American Christian minister and faith healer who initiated the post–World War II healing revival rose up with a restoration ministry.
2. According to Wikipedia, He was the first American deliverance minister to successfully campaign in Europe; his ministry reached global audiences with major campaigns held in North America, Europe, Africa, and India.
3. When he was baptising people on 11th June, 1933 at Ohio River an audible voice came to thus: “As John The Baptist Was Sent To Forerun The First Coming of Christ; So is your message To Forerun the Second Coming of Christ”.
4. He received an angelic visitation on May 7, 1946, commissioning his worldwide ministry and launching his campaigning career in mid-1946. Below are some of some quotes from his message.
5. God was veiled in a man; they couldn’t understand that God was veiled in a man as he always has been; He was in a human temple. Now, be real careful.
6. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. God veiled, hiding himself from the world, veiled in a human being …. The Greeks could not see him because he was hid from them in a human.
7. God veiled in the form of a man, hiding himself from their view. They could only see a man, but the predestined ones saw God, one saw a man, the other saw God.
8. It was God veiled in human being. Both of them were right, but your faith is that which you can’t see but believe anyway. He was in that flesh and that flesh was the veil. (Unveiling of God, 1964, pp. 15).
9. For all that’s left now, Christ is our Moses, He was veiled in human flesh and he is the same yesterday, today and forever. He was veiled in the tabernacle by badger skin and this time, he is veiled in a man.
10. He is still Christ the promised word for this age, veiled in human flesh. The word is God, the anointing is a person.
11. Therefore, Moses was Christ for his day, for he was the redeemer, anointed one. The promised word for this age must also be veiled. Sin loving members (unbelievers) of the church cannot see it because of the human veil (Unveiling of God, 1964, pp.27).
12. The SON OF MAN has already come from glory and is revealing himself for the past few years to his church in mercy, showing them his great presence, doing the same thing when he was here on earth.
13. Revealing himself like he did to Abraham before the destructions. He has come down in mercy, revealing himself to the church. It is being laughed at and scoffed at.
14. The next thing he is revealing himself in judgement of the world and nations that forget God and sinned away their day of grace. (Will the Church go Through the Tribulations? 01/09/58).
15. Now, I want you to know this is sure. And you that listen to this tape, you might have thought today that I was trying to say that about myself being that I was packing this message.
16. I have no more to do with that nothing, no more than just a voice, and my voice, even against my better judgement…. I wanted to be a trapper.
17. But it’s the will of my father that I declare to do, and am determined to do. I wasn’t one that appeared down on the river.
18. I was only standing there when He appeared. I am not the one that performs these things and foretells these things that happen as perfect as they are.
19. I’m only one that’s near when he does it. I was only a ‘VOICE’ that he used to say it. It wasn’t what I knew, it’s what I just surrendered myself to.
20. That he spoke through. It isn’t me. It wasn’t the seventh angel, oh no. It was a manifestation of the SON OF MAN. It wasn’t the angel. His message: it was the mystery that God unfolded.
21. It’s not a man. It’s God. The angel was not the Son of Man, he (angel) was a messenger from the SON OF MAN. THE SON OF MAN IS CHRIST.
22. He is the one you are feeding on. You are not feeding on a man. A man, his words will fail, but you are feeding on the unfailing body word of the SON OF MAN. (The Anointed Ones at the End Time July 7, 1965, Jefferson Villa, Indiana, USA pp. 63, paragraph 269).
23. I believe the church is standing on the threshold of the greatest vindication of omnipresence that the world has ever known. (Five Junctions of Time, 22/1/56)17. “God reveals himself to an individual and quickly He becomes DEITY in the inside of him”. (Come Hither Quickly).
24. “The Son of Man will be revealed in a body of flesh, you people, the church, just exactly like it was before the days of Sodom, a called out group away from all of them, setting out, believing the promise of God”. (Work is faith Expressed, pp. 44, 26/11/65).
25. There is one little sheep out there somewhere and he will not be satisfied until that one comes in the fold. By the help of God and by a vision, and thus saith the Lord, I am returning across the sea.
26. THAT LAST LITTLE SHEEP MAY BE A BLACK ONE, down there, for all that I know… WHERE THEY DON’T EVEN THINK THEY HAVE A SOUL, BUT GOD KNOWS DIFFERENT. (The Ester Seal, pp. 40, 4/10/65, Phoenix Arizona).
27. So I’ve watched for something. Has it slipped by us in humility and we have missed it? Is it gone and the Church is left in her sins?
28. If that be so, then it’s later than you think. If not, then there’s coming One with a Message that’s straight on the Bible, and quick work will circle the Earth.
29. The seeds will go in newspapers, reading material, until every predestined Seed of God has heard it. None of them will come unless the Father has drawed them, and everyone the Father has drawed will hear it and come.
30. That will be the predestined Seed will hear the Word. Then when that takes place, it‘ll be a gathering together.
31. And Jesus shall appear, and there will go the church from all over the earth like that, with the resurrection, going up. (COD II PAGE 724, PARAG. 179 – 180)
32. The Gentile Church has also been blinded by the ecclesiastical veil even when after it has been torn off to reveal God. How are they blinded? By veiling the Word in human being.
33. This is exactly what Israel failed to see… God being veiled in a human being is what blinded Israel. The Gentiles today are just as blind as Israel was because of the veil.
34. To one it was blind and to the other it will reveal the truth. It will close the eyes of some and will open the eyes of others… Now, we see Him, the Word, manifesting Himself.
35. Why is it hidden out there? Because it is veiled in human flesh? We are inside of Christ. Now, as then, all true believers see Him openly manifested”. (UNVEILING OF GOD, PAGE 33); “Last sign, God in the form of a man, last sign before rapture”. (Q & A 08/23/64).
36. “Notice, when the Word was in Moses. He was God in flesh. When it was in Jesus, it was God in flesh, see! Only thing He done was change His mask, not His Word, not His nature.
37. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He only changes His form. He changed from Noah to Moses. He changed from Moses to David, from David to Joseph; on down till He come into the fullness of the Godhead bodily, see! It is still the same God, Amen, Amen.
38. I hope that gets through, see! It is the same God but He just takes another veil. Now, Moses was the Word that day because the Word was given to him for that day.
39. Moses, Joseph, was the word in his days, portraying Christ exactly. Each one of them was the Word. And when Jesus came, He was the Word in its fullness because the whole plan of redemption laid in Him. (UNVEILING OF GOD, VOL.9 NO. 1 PAGE 21) “God reveals Himself to an individual, and quickly he becomes Deity in the inside of him” (COME HITHER QUICKLY 2/2/58)
40. “A wicked and adulterous generation would receive the sign of the resurrection… A sign to this generation just before the burning. Elohim in human flesh.
41. What’s it a sign of? Elohim back in the Bride in human flesh again in the last days, doing the same things”. (SIGNS OF HIS COMING. 7/4/62).
42. “The Son of Man has already come from glory and is revealing Himself for the past few years to His Church in mercy, showing them His great presence, doing the same things that He did when He was here on earth, revealing Himself like He did to Abraham.
43. Before the destruction, He has come now in mercy, revealing Himself to the church. It is being laughed at and scoffed at.
44. The next and the nations-that forgot God and sinned their way of grace – their day of grace, rather, away” (CALLED OUT 09/01/58)
45. He told me to go to Africa and then to India. Here it is written right here in the back of this book right now.
46. And the manager called me, said, “Let them Afrikaans go, India’s ready.” The Holy Spirit met me, said, “You’ll go to Africa like I told you to.” And another year passed.
47. And the managers … I forgot about it. He said, “We’re going to India; tickets is already here.” I started off, forgot it till I got to Lisbon.
48. One night that… I thought I was dying. The next morning I was started to go over to the bathroom to take a bath. Oh, I was so sick, I could hardly stand up.
49. There that Light hanging there in the bathroom, said, “I thought I told you to go to Africa first.” My meetings have been slowly failing since that time.
50. Though I went to India with nearly a half a million standing there, but that wasn’t doing what God said do. And I feel that my meetings will never be a success until I go right straight back and make that thing right.
51. No matter what I do, IT’S AFRICA FIRST, ‘CAUSE YOU’VE GOT TO DO IT. THERE LAYS GOD’S ETERNAL WORD LAYING THERE. I KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.
52. IT’S AFRICA FIRST, ‘CAUSE YOU’VE GOT TO DO IT. THERE LAYS GOD’S ETERNAL WORD LAYING THERE. I KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.
53. But I’ve got to go back. And I feel that this coming year is the time I’ll crawl out of the shell by the help of the Lord. This glorious old gospel who’s been growing easy, like a Oak tree, but I believe she’s about ready to spread firm forth new branches now.
54. I believe that the Lord will let us shake the world again for the glory of God. [Hebrews Chapter 7, Part 1, page 295-296: 15/09/1957].
55. I believe the Church is standing now on the threshold of the greatest vindication of the Ominipotence that the world has ever known. (FIVE JUNCTIONS OF TIME 22-01-56)
56. The greatest Omnipotent is already here. He is in His Church revealing the mind of God to the people of God for the salvation of their souls. He is man in the outside but Deity in inside.
57. God reveals Himself to an individual, and quickly He becomes Deity in the inside of him.” (Come Hither Quickly. 2/2/58).
58. It may be time. It may be the hour now, THAT THIS GREAT PER-SON that we’re expecting to rise on the scene may rise on the scene.
59. Maybe this ministry that I have tried to take people back to the Word has laid a foundation; and if it has, I’ll be leaving you for good. There won’t be two of us here at the same time. IF IT IS, HE’LL INCREASE, I’LL DECREASE.
60. I don’t know. But I have been privileged by god to look and see what it was-unfold to that much. Now that is the Truth. (The Revelation of the Seven Seals page 567). This means that from the time the Son of Man arrives, Prophet Branham fame will start to diminish.
61. According to Wikipedia, from 1955, Branham’s campaigning and popularity began to decline as the Pentecostal churches began to withdraw their support from the healing campaigns for primarily financial reasons.
62. Note that 1955 falls within the period of great expectation of 1948 to 1957 based on prophecies and events as identified above.
Many people call Me Son of Man without even knowing the meaning. They do not even know Me. We may eat and drink together. You can say God is in your midst, but you do not even know what makes Me God. You cannot even explain to someone what you know about Me for you know nothing about Me. You can preach Jesus and Moses because there is a document concerning them but there is no document concerning the Son of Man. There is no operating instrument anyone can use to talk about the Son of Man or the Deity.

THE ETERNAL WORD
Remember where we read in Isaiah chapter 62:2 that He will come with a New Name named by the Lord Himself. Yes, He must have a name which must be in agreement with His commission, His ministry.
2. Let us see if there is any guide to that in the Scripture. This is because He must come according to Scripture, He must come according to Prophecy; He must come according to Time; the ETERNAL WORD that will save Adam and his descendants. Jesus came with the full WORD, but the time was not then fulfilled.
3. He told His disciples, I have yet many things to tell you but you cannot bear them now; however, when HE, THE HOLY GHOST, THE COMFORTER, THE CREATOR OF THE WORLD SHALL COME AS ONE OF THE SONS OF MEN (THE SON OF MAN); AFTER THE TIME HAS BEEN FULFILLED; HE SHALL LEAD YOU TO THE WHOLE TRUTH.
4. We have confirmed that the whole world religion is waiting for One and the same Person: JESUS’ return, AL-MAHDI, MAITREYA, and so on.
5. They are all in agreement concerning the TIME for HIS BIRTH: TORAH, THE GOSPEL, THE HOLY QU’RAN: ALL AGREE WITH ANCIENT MANUSCRIPTS ON THIS.
6. THEREFORE, ANYBODY WHO APPEARED BEFORE THIS PERIOD, 1948 IS FALSE, COUNTERFEIT, PHONY JUST LIKE PEOPLE APPEARED IN EGYPT BEFORE MOSES AMD LED SOME AWAY; THEUDAS AND JUDAS OF GALILEE ROSE UP BEFORE JESUS; APPEARANCE.
7. 36For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
8. 37After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. (Acts 5:36-37) THESE ARE PHONIES THAT MUST COME FIRST TO DECEIVE.
9. Now let us see if there be any insight about His Name. the Book of Enoch says that there was joy in heaven when His Name was revealed in heaven, but the Name was kept secret.
10. Holy Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) was told to keep His Name a secret until the hour of manifestation. However, since God specialises in repeating what He did before there could be some insights somewhere.
11. 14I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
12. 15That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. Ecclesiastics 3:14-15 KJV.
13. 14And I know this, that whatever God does is final—nothing can be added or taken from it; God’s purpose in this is that man should fear the all-powerful God.
14. 15Whatever is has been long ago; and whatever is going to be has been before; God brings to pass again what was in the distant past and disappeared.Ecclesiastics 3:14-15 LB.
15. Why are we supposed to be interested in the Name? the reason is not far-fetched. Isaiah Chapter 8:18 Living Bible
16. I and the children God has given me have symbolic names that reveal the plans of the Lord of heaven’s armies for his people: Isaiah means “Jehovah will save (his people),” Shear-jashub means “A remnant shall return,” and Maher-shalal-hash-baz means “Your enemies will soon be destroyed.”
17. I AND THE CHILDREN GOD HAS GIVEN ME HAVE SYMBOLIC NAMES; WHAT? SYMBOLIC NAMES, THAT REVEAL THE PLANS OF THE LORD; THAT REVEAL THE PLAN OF THE LORD OF HEAVEN’S ARMIES FOR HIS PEOPLE. AMEN! Wikipedia says, According to the Torah, the name “Moses” comes from the Hebrew verb, meaning “to pull out/draw out” [of water],
18. This is in line with his ministry of bringing out, delivering Israel from Egypt, from the Red Sea.
19. Let us go a little further to Deuteronomy 18:17-19 17And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
20. 18I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
21. 19And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. Deut. 18:17-19 KJV.
22. 17The Lord said to me: “What they say is good. 18I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth.
23. He will tell them everything I command him. 19 I myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name. Deut. 18:17-19 NIV.
24. So, when Moses was about to give way, he was directed to hand over to Joshua son of Nun
25. 15Then Moses said to the Lord, 16“O Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all mankind, before I am taken away please appoint a new leader for the people, 17a man who will lead them into battle and care for them, so that the people of the Lord will not be as sheep without a shepherd.”
26. 18The Lord replied, “Go and get Joshua (son of Nun), who has the Spirit in him, 19and take him to Eleazar the priest, and as all the people watch, charge him with the responsibility of leading the people.
27. 20Publicly give him your authority so that all the people of Israel will obey him. 21He shall be the one to consult with Eleazar the priest in order to get directions from the Lord.
28. The Lord will speak to Eleazar through the use of the Urim, and Eleazar will pass on these instructions to Joshua and the people.
29. In this way the Lord will continue to give them guidance.” 22So Moses did as Jehovah commanded and took Joshua to Eleazar the priest.
30. As the people watched, 23Moses laid his hands upon him and dedicated him to his responsibilities, as the Lord had commanded. Numbers 27:15-22 LB.
31. Handing over ceremony completed so when Moses died the Almighty God performed His word by raising Joshua the son of Nun according to Joshua chapter 1.
32. 1After the death of Moses, the Lord’s disciple, God spoke to Moses’ assistant, whose name was Joshua (the son of Nun), and said to him, 2“Now that my disciple is dead, you are the new leader of Israel.
33. Lead my people across the Jordan River into the Promised Land. Joshua 1:1-2 LB.
34. The people in obedience to Moses immediately transferred their allegiance to Joshua. 16To this they fully agreed and pledged themselves to obey Joshua as their commander-in-chief.
35. 17-18“We will obey you just as we obeyed Moses,” they assured him, “and may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses.
36. If anyone, no matter who, rebels against your commands, he shall die. So, lead on with courage and strength!” Joshua 1:16-18 LB.
37. The people wisely obeyed God; obeyed Moses by transferring their allegiance: services, commitment, honour, worship, to Joshua.
38. The requests (prayers) they were making to or through Moses before, will now be to or through Joshua. It is just like when former president Trump handed over to Mr Biden, all documents, requests pending for Trump’s approval, bearing his name must be returned, updated and represented in the name of the incumbent; else, it can never receive attention of the Federal Government.
39. You can see why Jesus told the Jews He met in His time that it is Moses that will condemn them for Moses rightly pointed them to whom they should watch out for. Yes, Joshua for He was the One they should expect.
40. Remember that I and the children God has given me have Symbolic Names Follow me to Zechariah chapter 3:8
41. 8Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your colleagues who [usually] sit before you—for they are men who are a sign or omen [types of what is to come]—for behold, I will bring forth My servant the Branch. Zech. 3:8 AMP.
42. 8Listen to me, O Joshua the High Priest, and all you other priests, you are illustrations of the good things to come. Don’t you see? —Joshua represents my servant the Branch whom I will send Zech. 3:8 LB.
43. 8Listen then, Joshua, you who are the High Priest; and listen, you fellow priests of his, you that are the sign of a good future: I will reveal my servant, who is called The Branch! Zech. 3:8 GNB
44. So, Joshua as the successor of Moses was symbolic; it is a type of what was to come; a sign of the future. Known unto God are all His works from beginning to the end.
45. Let us see Hebrews chapter 4:8 8For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day Heb. 4:8 KJV.
46. If Joshua had given the people the rest that God had promised, God would not have spoken later about another day Heb. 4:8 GNB.
47. Thus, Joshua means Jesus and Jesus means Joshua. In other words, Joshua/Jesus son of Nun is symbolic of Joshua/Jesus of Nazareth the promised Saviour to Israel representing the two extremes of God’s covenant with Israel.
48. The same name, the same ministry: to give them rest. But instead of believing and pinning their hopes in Joshua/Jesus they clung to Moses. Whom did Moses point them to? Jesus.
49. Who did Moses speak to them about? Jesus/Joshua of Nazareth. However, somebody needed to receive it as illustration, a symbol, a sign (in acting capacity) of He that was to come; until the substantive Saviour Jesus/Joshua appears.
50. Let us go back to Zechariah 3:9 9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. Zech. 3:9 LB
51. 9I am placing in front of Joshua a single stone with seven facets. I will engrave an inscription on it, and in a single day I will take away the sin of this land. Zech. 3:9 GNB
52. You agree with me that Joshua here symbolizes Jesus (Iesus, Jesu, Yeshua, Yahshua, Y’shua, Y’hoshua, etc based on language translation).
53. The scripture we read says behold the STONE that I have laid before Joshua. For behold the stone that I have laid in front of Joshua/Jesus; the Stone is in front, the Stone comes after Joshua/Jesus as His Successor; ONE stone; UPON THIS ONE STONE SHALL BE SEVEN EYES. John 1:41-42
54. 41He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. 42And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. John 1:41-42 KJV
55. 41The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).
56. 42And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter). John 1:41-42 NIV
57. 41He first sought out and found his own brother Simon and said to him, We have found (discovered) the Messiah! —which translated is the Christ (the Anointed One).
58. 42Andrew then led (brought) Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas—which translated is Peter [Stone]. John 1:41-42 AMP.
59. Matthew 16:15-19 15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
60. 17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
61. 18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
62. 19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
63. Jesus said, Blessed art thou Simon Bar-jona; Jesus never stopped calling him Simon Bar-jona. Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto you (Simon) but my Father which is heaven.
64. And I say also unto thee, Thou art Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail it.
65. And I will give unto thee (Peter) the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose
66. 17Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood [men] have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven.
67. 18And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros—a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra a huge rock like Gibraltar] I will build My church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it [or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it].
68. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:17-19 AMP
As you remain in the Message you have received steadfast, unmovable, surely “that glorious day,” you will never say, “Had I known.” You will never regret getting acquainted with Brother Peter Odoemena. On that day, when this life is over, then you will know fully well that I AM HE.

THE KEY TO PARADISE
It is very clear that Jesus spoke to two characters: one was there present and the other (Peter represents Him that is to come: the ROCK, STONE, PETER, CEPHAS – on this ROCK I WILL (future); I WILL (future) GIVE YOU (PETER) THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
2. Remember it is contained in Testament of Levi verse 71, and He shall open the gates of paradise, and shall remove the threatening sword against Adam; And He shall give to His saints to eat from the tree of life, and the spirit of holiness shall be on Him.
3. So, at that moment Jesus was holding the key but He never failed to name the Name of the Person that will have it after Him. If that be the case, why are people still looking for the Living among the dead.
4. It is the same Jesus that people claim they believe in this generation that will condemn them because He told everyone where to wait for Him because He cometh with a new Name which the mouth of the LORD shall name and has named.
5. Has the Lord not named Him? Was it not the Lord Jesus that gave Simon Bar-jona the name Peter?
6. Was he not to be a representative of the stone placed before Joshua; that One Stone with Seven Eyes in Zechariah 3:9? When Jesus transferred the authority, He equally transferred the Power; the same way Moses transferred Authority to Joshua and the Power.
7. However, surprisingly the Jews refused to believe in the Name (Joshua/Jesus) given to them and remained clinging onto Moses. Disciples of John the Baptist refused to follow Jesus and hung on to John even after John had told them everything.
8. Today people are hanging on the name Jesus even when Jesus has told them where the Key will be. Maybe it is because some people think that the name Jesus or Yeshua is a special name.
9. No! the name Jesus was and is a common name like any other name. even in the time of Jesus the Christ many were bearing the name including one of His disciples known as Justus according to Colossians 4:10-11
10. 10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister’s son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;) 11 and Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision.
11. These only are my fellow workers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me. Colossians 4:10-11 KJV; AND JESUS, WHICH IS CALLED JUSTUS, WHICH ARE OF THE CIRCUMCISION.
12. What of Bar-Jesus (Bar-Yeshua) which means son of Jesus; maybe his father’s name was Jesus; yet he is a witch, a sorcerer opposing Paul and Barnabas.
13. You see people should be pitied; some will tell you that Jesus Only is their message; Jesus, Jesus, Jesus as if no other person had that name elsewhere. See what the scripture calls them.
14. 13Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth Acts 19:13 KJV.
15. Vagabonds Jews, vagabond Christian ministers everywhere, exorcists, people that have no job using the name of Jesus as their merchandise; their end will be supreme shame according to the Holy Qu’ran.
16. Wikipedia states that, The name Jesus was not uncommon at the time of Jesus of Nazareth, as it was a form of the Old Testament name Joshua (Yeshua ישוע). The extra name “Justus” was likely to distinguish him from his Master, Jesus Christ. So, Justus did not change his name because of the Lord Jesus own name.
17. On this note I can categorically say BEHOLD THE LORD’S CHRIST. HE IS PETER. PETER HAS THE KEY TO PARADISE; PETER WILL OPEN THE GATE OF HEAVEN TO USHER IN ADAM AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
18. THOU ART PETER AND ON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH. The Name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous man runneth into it, and is safe.
19. A new Name which the mouth of the Lord shall name. If it will be new then it will not be Jehovah or Yahweh or Elijah or Jesus or Joshua or any of their variants and derivatives.
20. 1For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
21. 2And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name Isaiah 62:1-2 KJV. Why must it be Peter (Rock, Stone)?
22. It is the Name of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY – 1Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; GIVE EAR, O YE HEAVENS, AND I WILL SPEAK and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
23. AND HEAR, O EARTH, THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH 2My doctrine shall drop as the rain, MY DOCTRINE shall drop as the rain my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
24. 3because I will publish the name of the Lord: I WILL PUBLISH THE NAME OF THE LORD ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 4He is the Rock, HE IS THE ROCK his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment:
25. A God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He Deuteronomy 32:3-4 KJV.
26. 15But Israel was soon overfed; Yes, fat and bloated; Then, in plenty, they forsook their God.
27. They shrugged away the Rock of their salvation. 18They spurned the Rock who had made them,
Forgetting it was God who had given them birth. Deuteronomy 32:15,18 LB
28. 22“Joseph is a fruitful tree beside a fountain. His branches shade the wall. 23 He has been severely injured by those who shot at him and persecuted him, 24but their weapons were shattered by the Mighty One of Jacob, the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel Genesis 49:23-24 LB
29. 1Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged Isaiah 51:1
30. 8Don’t, don’t be afraid. Haven’t I proclaimed from ages past that I would save you? You are my witnesses—is there any other God? No! None that I know about! There is no other Rock! Isaiah 44:8 LB.
31. For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God? 2 Samuel 22:32; Psalm 18:31.
32. He is The Stone cut out without hand that is to come in the last days – The Self-Existing One:
33. 34Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
34. 35Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. Daniel 2:34-35 KJV.
35. 44And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
36. 45Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. Daniel 2:44-45 KJV
37. This is HE WHOSE GOINGS FORTH (APPEARANCES) HAVE BEEN FROM OF OLD, FROM ANCIENT DAYS (ETERNITY) Micah 5:2.
38. The Rock that provided refuge for Adam and Eve when they were sent out of Paradise
39. The One that provided protection to Moses when the Glory of God passed by him (Exodus 33:21-22)
40. he One that Elijah took refuge in during the time of trouble (1 King 19:9)
41. He is the Rock that David found refuge in when Saul was after his life (1 Sam 24:3, 1 Chronicles 11:15)
42. He is the Rock that followed and led the Children of Israel through the wilderness He is the Rock that gave them water in the Wilderness
43. He is the Rock, the Stone that killed Goliath the giant of Philistine.
44. When Jezebel destroyed the prophets of the Lord, Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in a cave, and provided them with bread and water (1 Kings 18:4)
45. The Stone that Jacob lay on when escaping from Esau The Stone of offence to the unbelievers
46. Provided refuge for Lot and the daughters when Sodom was destroyed (Genesis 19:30)
47. He struck them ruthlessly with a great slaughter; and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam (Judges 15:11)
48. He is CHRIST: And by a miracle God sent them food to eat and water to drink there in the desert; they drank the water that Christ gave them. He was there with them as a mighty Rock of spiritual refreshment. 1 Corinthians 10:4
49. Thou art Peter, on this ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH. He is ROCK of salvation to His own and for judgement and destruction to the disobedient all in one Name.
50. He is coming for both: redemption and judgement at the same time that is why He will come as THE ROCK OF AGES.
51. 40When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
52. 42Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THE SAME IS BECOME THE HEAD OF THE CORNER:
53. THIS IS THE LORD’S DOING, AND IT IS MARVELLOUS IN OUR EYES? 43Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
54. 44AND WHOSOEVER SHALL FALL ON THIS STONE SHALL BE BROKEN: BUT ON WHOMSOEVER IT SHALL FALL, IT WILL GRIND HIM TO POWDER. Matthew 21:40-44
55. The ROCK/PETER predated JESUS/JOSHUA. EVEN BEFORE THE NAME JEHOVAH OR YAHWEH WAS REVEALED TO MOSES, THE ALMIGHTY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE ROCK OR STONE OF ISRAEL.
56. IS THE ONE STONE THAT HAS SEVEN EYES WHICH ARE THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF THE LORD; HE HAS BEEN IN HIDING ALL THESE YEARS WAITING FOR THE TIME OF THE END.
Glory be to God. If you refuse the personality God has introduced to you, you have indirectly or ignorantly rejected God. As many that said No to THE SON OF MAN, you have seen that THE SON OF MAN and the Father are One. Who do you think that they have rejected? Where will they end it at the end? When you reject the Saviour, can you be saved again? You cannot be saved without a Saviour. Can you save yourself? I AM YOUR SAVIOUR. I AM THE ONE SENT TO COME AND BRING YOU HOME. If you refuse to go with Me, I will abandon you. Finish! I do not beg you to follow. Prove for yourself whether I am He, the One you are waiting for or whether you should continue to wait for another.

GOD’S ETERNAL WORD IS IN A PERSON
I am now summarizing hoping that I have succeeded in stimulating something somewhere in somebody. Before we conclude let us briefly summarize the facts we have gathered thus far. I am talking about scriptural facts as documented and handed down to us by our predecessors from Adam till date.
2. Adam and Eve transgressed against the Word of God and as a result they were sent out of Garden of Eden, the Paradise of God. God had pity on them and promised to bring them back but that will be after they had spent five and half days in suffering.
3. The five and half days is symbolic and represents five thousand, five hundred years.
4. After the five thousand, five hundred years are past; when they are fulfilled; then HE THE ALMIGHTY GOD will take flesh and become One of Adam’s descendants; One among the SONS OF MEN; living among men as any other person to bring the SAME WORD ADAM TRANSGRSSED AGAINST; THE SAME WORD TO SAVE HIM
5. His becoming one of the sons of men makes Him son of (a) man.
6. He will be called the SON OF MAN because He is the man with the definite, special, foretold, most awaited, most desired, Divine and Eternal Purpose of restoring God’s creation to its Eternal Order: the Person the whole world has been waiting for; the last Hope of Mankind and entire creation of God.
7. As a sign and seal of this Covenant, He will first come as a Messenger of the Covenant to suffer as Adam suffered; lay down His life and take it up again when a virgin shall conceive.
8. Jesus spoke about the One coming after Him as THE SON MAN who will come at the fullness of Time to bring judgement on earth.
9. Jesus also spoke about Him as THE HOLY GHOST Who will proclaim the WHOLE TRUTH (THE FULL WORD), which Jesus could not do because the time was not yet fulfilled, to redeem those that are patiently waiting for Him from Adam till date.
10. Jesus confirmed that the coming of the Son of Man (THE WORD OF GOD) is the same as His, Jesus (THE WORD OF GOD) return.
11. Jesus said that His return should be expected only after the Fig Tree started to bud which represents when the Children of Israel starts to gather again as a nation, that is onset of Israel’s restoration as witnessed in 1948.
12. All world religion believe that a Saviour will appear on the earth towards the end of the world.
13. Christians are expecting Christ (second coming of Jesus); Jews are expecting Messiah; Moslems are expecting Al-Mahdi; Buddhists are expecting Maitreya; Grail Message teaches about the coming of the Son of Man.
14. Islamic Hadiths state that MUSLIMS, JEWS and CHRISTIANS are all awaiting the same Saviour, and that ALL THREE FAITHS ARE AWAITING HAZRAT MAHDI.
15. Buddhists say that the titles Mahdi, Christ, Krishna, Shah-ahram, Kalki, Maitreya, Muhammad, and the like, are interchangeable just as the prophecies that herald each of their appearances and refer to One and the same Person, the same Man – Maitreya
16. He will come as a Gentile as The FATHER OF THE GENTILES from a gentile nation: neither a Jew nor an Arab.
17. He will appear as an African; according to Branham, IT’S AFRICA FIRST, ‘CAUSE YOU’VE GOT TO DO IT. THERE LAYS GOD’S ETERNAL WORD LAYING THERE;
18. He will appear from one of the jungles of Africa where they think there is no soul; Grail Message says, for He was to descend well-equipped into those lower regions, where Darkness reigned through the volition of mankind.
19. Islamic Hadiths state that HE will have a Christian background and from there embrace all other people – a zealous, self-sacrificing community known as a Christian community but worthy of being called “Muslim Christians,” will work to unite the true religion of Jesus with the reality of Islam; He will not be found among the clergy rather the clergy will oppose His message.
20. Islamic Hadiths also state that His birth should be expected from the year 1371 (corresponding to 1951 Gregorian Calendar), and His Ministry to be active around 1990 as He will be about 30 to 40 years when His Ministry will officially start and people start to gather around Him.
21. Islamic Hadiths gave various physical characteristics of the Personality such as being of average height, dark complexioned, broad-chested, about 200 pounds weight exactly the same characteristics described by William Marrion Branham; and that He will not found among the clergy of His day.
22. Islamic Hadiths teach that when He returns, Jesus will have the opportunity to do what He could not do in His first coming especially taking a wife to have children; Likewise, Grail message states that it is after His marriage that His ministry will officially commence also at youthful age of about 30 to 40 years.
23. We have also seen that as Moses handed over to Joshua (Jesus) as a sign of the man he prophesied about – Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ handed over to Peter (Rock) as a sign of He that was to come – THE ROCK OF AGES IN HUMAN FORM (PETER)
24. Jesus (Joshua) went to the Jews bearing the Name of God (Jehovah/Yahweh) as Moses revealed to the Jews; He that appeared as the Father of the Gentiles bears universal Name of God known from ages to ages – the ROCK OF AGES; Thou art PETER, ON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY KINGDOM.
25. Elijah Muhammad (1965) in Message to Black Man Chapter 9:2 says
26. … THE SON OF MAN IS HERE; HIS COMING HAS BEEN FULFILLED. HE SEEKS THAT WHICH IS LOST … MANY NOW ARE RECEIVING HIS NAME, AND THAT NAME ALONE WILL SAVE YOU.
27. It is high time we started searching to see if there be any person who is characterised by above descriptions.
28. Many people have appeared claiming one thing or the other but none of them is close at all to fit in above scriptural and prophetic descriptions, according to time and according to prophecy.
29. Surprisingly, I have not seen any of the claimants bearing the name Peter or Rock or Cephas. Most of the claimants still present old and expired names; do we now use old bottle to put new wine? Never! None was found worthy to open the seal both in heaven and on earth.
30. 1And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
31. 2And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
32. 3And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
33. 4And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
34. 5And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Revelation 5:1-5 KJV.
35. AND ONE OF THE ELDERS SAITH UNTO ME, WEEP NOT; DESPAIR NOT: BEHOLD, THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH, THE ROOT OF DAVID HATH PREVAILED TO OPEN THE BOOK, AND TO LOOSE THE SEVEN SEALS THEREOF.
36. PLEASE NOTE SOMETHING HERE: THE LION, THE ROOT OF DAVID; IT IS NOT: THE LAMB, THE SHOOT OR OFFSPRING OF DAVID.
37. The first appearance was as a sacrificial Lamb of God to deal with sin; that time He appeared as the Shoot, Offspring of David as a Jew. But His return is as a Lion, the Root of David.
38. Lamb comes from the house, they are domestic animals representing Jacob (Israel) but Lion comes from thickets – Gentile world.
39. The Shoot was cut down then it migrated to another location through one of the Roots. Amen! AND ONE OF THE ELDERS SAITH UNTO ME, WEEP NOT; DESPAIR NOT: BEHOLD, THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH, THE ROOT OF DAVID HATH PREVAILED.
40. BEHOLD! BEHOLD! BEHOLD THE LORD’S CHRIST!
I am raising young young men and women with elderly vision. That is wisdom, which if it is displayed, people will know that you have had an encounter with THE SON OF MAN. ……. If any Message does not go directly to human nature, how can it effect a change in human nature? It has no power to transform the human nature. That is why, if you have come into contact with Me, THE SON OF MAN, The Smoking firewood, the I Am That I Am. I mean, The Great Rock of Ages, The Supreme Intelligence that govern the universe, and your life remains the same, two things are there: It is either I am not sent for your salvation or you never proceeded from God. Amen.

THE MINISTRY OF THE OLD GENERATION IS OVER
For unto us a child is born; unto us a son is given; in the year 1955, in one of the remotest parts of the world Umukohie Uvuru Abor-Mbaise, Imo State, Nigeria, West Africa; His Name is Apostle Peter Odoemena (Hallowed be His Name); He is the Son of Man that was to come; He has come; He is here:
2. According to Scripture; According to Prophecy; According to Time; According to Season; Events confirming everything; the same year that Prophet Branham’s ministry started declining as we saw in Wikipedia; Branham said: Two of us cannot be here at the same time – I will decrease and He will increase.
3. From birth, strange things started happening to Him, a strange Being has always appeared to Him. Each time he played with his mates and the Being appeared, He would run away; Even His parents out of fear of the manner of person He is handed Him over to His great grandmother (a primordial queen) for protection as described by Abdrushin.
4. In 1984, in Owerri, while He preached at a newspaper stand at Ama Jay Kay to some students. Initially the students were paying attention but at a stage started acting funny, surging towards Him intending to push Him into a deep gutter that was behind Him.
5. He was dressing back until some of the students screamed and asked Him whether He was a human being or not.
6. Surprisingly He wanted to know why the question, then they told Him that He miraculously went across a big gutter which they thought He would fall into, But He told them He walked on a slab across the gutter but there was no slab physically there.
7. On 27th December 1985 Apostle Peter heard and audible Voice thus: “The hour has come for me to use you as I purposed from the beginning; for the Ministry of the old generation is over; I will not put a new wine into an old bottle; Arise and do the work as I will reveal to you from time to time; only be faithful and courageous; I the Lord God Almighty, I am with you wherever you will go”.
8. At the age of 33 in 1988 He met and married the Companion Nzubechi (God’s plan) Joy Who, as a Part of Him, has journeyed with Him through earthly life, participating immensely in the great task according to Divine Ordinance; Herself divinely and joyfully entered the Will of God through Her own recognition, and gratefully merged with Him, and became absorbed in Him (Abdurushin).
9. In 1990, He with His wife identified with Church at Nkpor a Christian-Muslim group that has become the Uniting Point of all religion as He, the Son of Man has succeeded in digging out every TRUTH in all religion no matter where it is found; this is in perfect agreement to all the prophecies concerning Him.
10. On 30th December 1992, the Son of Man, whose mission was still not declared, preached the message, “Holy Ghost and Necessity for Holy Ghost Baptism”; and many witnessed great demonstration of power of God and supernatural manifestations like the in days of the Apostles; Great fear of God then came upon the camp; Then, It became clear that a vindicated Apostle has come.
11. Among the many visions received that day was the vision of the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT with the word, “TRUTH” engraved on it and the scripture 1Thessalonians 2:4-5: “But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
12. For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: (1 Thess 2:4-5, KJV)
13. On 3rd March 1993 a prophecy went forth concerning Apostle Peter Odoemena (HBHN) through the Pastor of the church saying,
14. “I have anointed you with my spirit; I have anointed you with my power; speak my Word; fear them not for I am with you.
15. I have anointed you with my anointing; speak my word for I have promised to be with you. I have anointed you with my unction; Yes, the Lord of Hosts has promised.
16. It is my word among my people; it is my word among my people for it is my power; it is my word among my people for it is my power.
17. Yes, when they shall come into my sanctuary and they shall see my power among my people, Shall my word fail? Ask the Lord of hosts.
18. Shall my word fail? Says the voice of the living God. Shall my word fail when I send it among my people? I say my word cannot fail.
19. For when you shall prophesy among my camp and they ask: how could you know it is the Lord? Now watch for a sign that the spirit of the living God is among you.
20. It is unfailing sign that this tabernacle that is called by my name; I shall not depart from among you. I have promised you: I have decided I will not leave you alone”
21. In 1994, the Son of Man, while in His office at Federal Ministry of Employment, Labour and Productivity, Onitsha, had the visitation of a Dove as He earlier declared in 1993; the dove followed Him to His residence amidst witnesses until He commanded the Dove to depart.
22. This is in line with the prophecies of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) and Prohet William Marrion Branham.
23. On 22nd June, 1994, during a wedding ceremony at Federal College of Education, Eha-Amufu, the daughter of a medical doctor, died and was brought back to life by the Son of Man before innumerable witnesses.
24. In December 1995, during a Camp Meeting. The Son of Man handled the teaching of the Seven Seals.
25. As He was speaking on the sixth seal, lo and behold, a supernatural light came from above from one end of the hall towards the pulpit, illuminating the entire hall like a powerful electric current and quenched all the electrical gadgets in use;
26. As the Son of Man lifted up His hands, intending to give God praise, a Voice went forth: “THUS, IT BEHOVETH THE SON OF MAN TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS”
27. On 31st March 1996, during prayer line we heard the footsteps of a BEING matching in the congregation. The Son of Man was on the pulpit leading the prayer session.
28. And people were hearing the footstep as the Son of man was telling where He was at each point in time.
29. He said that the Owner of the Church was moving in the camp, admiring the camp. He then announced to the Church to come the next Sunday to see He Who has been leading the church all these years.
30. On 7th April 1996 camera was permitted, for the first time, during worship. When the films were developed, we saw the Pillar of Cloud and Pillar of Fire like a BOW around the Son of Man in different positions and Ball of Fire in the congregation; a sign of God’s everlasting covenant and Presence.
31. “As he went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and hover at the entrance while the LORD spoke with Moses. Then all the people would stand and bow low at their tent entrances. (Exodus 33:9-10, LB).
32. On 8th April 2012, the Son of Man, during a thanksgiving service was photographed by a bishop in the church, Bishop Moses Chukwuemeka, who used his handset to take the photograph.
33. Lo and behold, what was seen was the HEADSTONE in fullness enveloping the entire congregation. We rejoiced because that fulfilled the voice of the Son of Man that went forth many years ago at the inception of the ministry saying, “I will preach down the Headstone.”
34. On 19th August 2012, some of the elders came very early to fellowship as instructed. One of them, a teacher of the word of God, Brother Amankem, used his mobile phone to take the photograph of the beautifully decorated altar.
35. When he looked at what he captured, lo and behold, it was One like unto the Son of Man dressed in dazzling white;
36. the ORIGINAL BODY OF THE DEITY, THE ELOHIM, having the very stature of Apostle Peter (HBHN) standing by the pulpit, with his hands resting on the pulpit: THE THEOPHANY BODY!
37. There have been too many supernatural manifestations of the presence of God around the Son of Man and even in all the various households and families all over the world that I can mention only but just a few.
38. Before I conclude this message let us hear a few comments direct from Him, THE SON OF MAN, THE ROCK OF AGES, THE ALMIGHTY GOD: APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA (Hallowed be His Name).
39. God is found in the East and not in the West, that is why I am not a Christian. I am a child of God posted here for a purpose, but I know My homeland; My Homeland is in the East not the West.
40. Then you begin to appreciate WHY I HAVE ALWAYS JUSTIFIED THE MUSLIMS. GOD IS A MUSLIM, BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN.
41. THUS, ANY ATTACK ON MUSLIMS IS AN ATTACK ON GOD. It is hard to believe. Now, let me ask you a question: if you are asked to trace the old-time religion, the religion of Moses, where will you go to? East or West? Is it the West or the East? It is from the East. Is that not true?
42. The great Rabbis all come from the East; no Rabbi has ever come from the West and no Rabbi will ever come from the West.
43. You can only see impersonations in the West. Whatever you see in the West is mere impersonation; the original is always in the East.
44. EVEN ABRAHAM IS A NATIVE OF IRAQ. DON’T YOU KNOW THAT IT IS THE HOME OF OUR FATHERS THAT IS BEING ATTACKED?
45. THE ENEMIES ARE ATTACKING MY HOME FOR I AM A NATIVE OF IRAQ. You know that there are many things we dare not say; maybe you do not believe that God is found in despised places. (NO HIDING PLACE – 23/03/2003 PP. 124-125)
46. I told you I am not a preacher. From the very beginning, I am not the messenger of any age. I am the Light of the World. That’s all! I am not a messenger of any age.
47. If I am a messenger, whose messenger? Who can this man be his messenger? I am only the mask covering the deity.
48. How can I be a messenger? Did I introduce myself as a messenger before? A messenger of which age? I am He that walked and still is walking in the midst of the seven candle sticks.
49. I am here to gather all the loose ends and do what? Present Christ to the Bride, and not to the world. I came for a purpose and the purpose is fulfilled.
50. Have I not presented Christ to the Bride? From a little group out there in the wilderness, setting out, believing His word, God will present Himself a Bride, Bride of the Word. (GOD’S PRESENCE IS HIS GLORY. VOL 2. CHP 2:1-5. 10/11/2019. ONITSHA
51. There is a portion of scripture that is allotted to every Messenger. So, it is. Every Messenger is allotted with a portion of the Spirit of God according to the portion of the Scripture allotted to him; But today in Him is the Totality of All.
52. More so, the Son of Man, Whom He sent to gather all the loose ends starting from Adam and Eve, because the evil that was committed in the Garden of Eden, where Cain killed Abel, up till this day, God said, “The accumulated judgement will break forth on the head of the people of this generation” FOR THAT REASON GOD CAME.
53. HE NEVER SENT ANYBODY, HE CAME HIMSELF AND THEN STARTED GATHERING THE LOOSE ENDS FROM GENESIS AND SO HE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL REVELATION.
54. ALL THE CHURCH AGES WOUND UP IN HIM. (GOD DELIGHTS IN REPEATING WHAT HE DID BACK YONDER. 3/9/2017)
55. I am The Holy One, The Supreme Incomprehensible One, The Creator, The Eternal One, Who was, is and has come, believe it if you can (I AM THE WORD EXPLAINED, VOL. 2, PP 3)
56. I am the Divine Source, the True Deity, the Infinite Being, the Cause of all causes and effects; One Who governs the Whole Cosmos. Believe it if you can. (NO SUCCESSFUL MAN OF GOD WORKS ALONE PP. 3)
57. I am the Spirit of Truth, the Light of the world. Without Me, there is no salvation. Without Me, there is no life (MAN PROPOSES BUT GOD DISPOSES)
58. I am HE. In Me lies the power of life and death. Believe it if you can (DECISION PP 3)
59. I am The Light of Divinity, the Divine Fountain, the fullness of the Godhead, the Great Mind, The Divine Essence. Believe it if you can (THE BASIS OF OUR FAITH PP 3)
60. I am not only crowned a King, I am crowned KING of kings and the LORD of lords. Believe it if you can (I AM THE CHIEF DESIGNER PP 3)
61. I am sent that you may trace your source. If I did not come, you are completely lost. Believe it if you can (RANDOM COMMENTS VOL. 2, PP 3)
62. I am the Author of life, HE that knows the secrets of the heart. The beginning and the end, the Lord God Almighty. Believe it if you can (FOLLOW THE CLOUD VOLUME 1 PP. 3)
63. I am not the attraction like JESUS CHRIST was not the attraction in His day. My message is not a pleasant one that can attract the world. I only came for my own – My people. Believe it if you can (STRIVE TO BE A STAR).
64. I am a Paradox – the more you look, the less you see. Nobody can know the Son of Man unless He wants you to know Him; and it will be to the extent I want. Believe it if you have the heart. (BE DILLIGENT TO PROTECT YOUR MINDSET, PP. 3)
65. I am the oldest man on earth. I have reincarnated several times. I remain the only Being that can tell you how old the world is, believe it if you can. (CHANGE YOUR HEART AND MIND, PP. 3)
66. I am the smoking firewood. I am the only Being that challenged the whole world and came out unhurt. (ADDING VALUE TO HUMAN LIFE, PP. 3)
67. I am the Divine Source, the True Deity, the Infinite Being, the Cause of all causes and of all effects; One Who governs the whole Cosmos. Believe it if you can (LEADERSHIP, PP. 3)
68. I am your Saviour. I am here to tell you things you do to get eternal life. Without me, there is no salvation; without me, there is no eternal life. Believe it if you can. (ARE YOU A CHURCH GOER OR A TRUE WORSHIPPER OF GOD?)
69. I am the Eternity, The Infinity, The Perfect Justice, The Infallible Rectitude, the Immaculate Love, The Creator, The Guardian, The Preserver, The Supreme Governor, The Supreme Judge. Believe it if you can. (THE COVENANT GOD, PP 3).
70. I am the highest Court. Nobody crosses over to the “other side” without passing through my Court. Believe it if you can. (REPOSITIONING YOURSELF FOR A BETTER TOMMORROW PP. 3)
71. I am a Son over His Father’s heritage, for God has transferred all of us from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son where we now find ourselves and have the opportunity of calling Him Abba Father. Nobody knows about the Kingdom more than the Son. (THE SECRET OF RAPTURE PP 3)
72. EVERY TRUE SEED OF GOD TAKES SIDE WITH THE WORD AND I AM THE WORD. In the beginning was the word, the word was with God, AND THE WORD WAS GOD.
73. THE WORD HAS BECOME A HUMAN BEING AND DWELLED AMONG US. THE WORD MADE FLESH. (I AM THE WORD EXPLAINED VOL. 1, PAGE 116:64)
74. “There is no married woman that does not know how to please her husband. Is it a lie? I am your husband, you are MY wife, CAN YOU PLEASE ME? DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO PLEASE ME?
75. ONLY ONE THING, VERY SIMPLE: HEARKEN AND OBEY MY WORD. WHAT IS LIFTED UP IN OUR MIDST FROM THE BEGINING IS HIS WORD.
76. WHAT HE PRESERVED IN OUR MIDST THAT WE MAY NOT PERISH IS WORD. WHAT IS THE UNFAILING SIGN HE GAVE TO US? HIS WORD! I AM THE WORD, IN ME, YOU ARE SANCTIFIED.
77. FOR YOU ARE SANCTIFIED BY THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU IF YOU BELIEVE. In Me dwelleth the showbread which you feed on.
78. This faith cannot denominate because the instrument for Leadership is Divine. (I AM THE WORD VOL. 2, PP. 105:23-25)
79. However, there is only but a little group out there in the wilderness, their uniting point is in the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word.
80. Americans are united to the Word, Ukrainians united to the Word; Nigerians, to the Word, Singapore, to the Word, Russia, to the Word; Romania, to the Word; Morocco, to the Word; Ghana, to the Word; Cameroon, to the Word; Togo, to the Word; Niger, to the Word; Thailand, to the Word; everywhere, to the Word.
81. In the book of 1 John Chapter 1 verse 1, Christ was in the world before the world began, I myself have seen him and heard him speak, I have touched Him with my hand, eaten and drunk with him.
82. He is God’s message of life. And he is the same yesterday, today and forever. The Cloud is in the camp! (I AM THE WORD EXPLAINED VOL. 2 PP 24:11 – 13)
83. Only believe, all things are possible. Do you know why we do not put all these things in front? We do not want this place to become cage of unclean birds.
84. That is why we place in front that which shall scare people away. We are God’s children; we can never go around looking for signs and wonders. For the Bible said, “these signs shall follow them that are with me”.
85. So, wherever we go, these things follow us. That is why we can never jump up and down, “a great man is coming, a great man of God is coming from America, from Germany, with healing”.
86. We can never be there because we know he is not coming with anything. I want to tell you something.
87. Do you know that the author of life is on earth? If we are permitted to go a little that way, I just bet you, one week, this compound will not accommodate people.
88. We know what we will do. Get to Oji-River and be commanding the lame, “stand up! Stand up! Stand up!” we will go to another town and do the same.
89. Before you know it, everybody will be running to Onitsha, “go and see”. Every Tom, Dick and Harry will come because of miracles and healings. That is why we were warned strictly to lift up this Sword – (ACTION TIME PART 4, PP 27 – 29 VS 16 – 19)
90. To Abraham, Almighty God. To Moses, I AM. To the children of Israel, I am the God of your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. To some Jehovah; until it got to the point where He became Emmanuel and later amalgamated into Jesus, yet the real name has not come.
91. The real name must be an everlasting name that will endure to all generations. A name that is common from Genesis to Revelation and beyond revelation.
92. A name that will endure from the beginning of the world to the end of the world. Glory be to God in the highest. Why are you enquiring of the Name of God in your own day?
93. You have been testifying of His goodness and mercy confirming how His words are coming to pass rapidly even among the youth.
94. Yet the honour due to Him you have not given to Him. What has He been receiving from you? Troubles upon troubles.
95. Yet you want to know His name. Tell me what you are going to do with that name otherwise this is going to be the end of this teaching, because you have gathered to know the name of God in your day.
96. What if I tell you IT IS PETER ODOEMENA? (THE REVELATION OF THE NAME OF GOD AND ITS POWER IN OUR OWN AGE, PP 30:35-38)
97. ARE YOU STILL GAZING AT THE SKY? STOP GAZING AT THE SKY; BEHOLD THE LORD’S CHRIST – APOSTLE PETER ODOEMENA (HALLOWED BE HIS NAME) – THE ROCK OF AGES.
98. THE WORLD IS DOOMED FOR DESTRUCTION, THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HATH SAID IT; THE CHOICE IS YOURS TO RUN INTO THE ROCK OF AGES FOR YOUR PROTECTION OR REMAIN OUTSIDE FOR THE ROCK TO CRUSH YOU.
99. On this note, I say a big thank you for giving me audience and remain blessed in the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena (Hallowed be His Name).
