1 THE PROSPERITY OF SERPENT SEEDS - PART 2 Amos Olusegun Omoboriowo The following message was preached by Brother Amos, on the evening of Wednesday, 15th October, 2014, at meetings held in Truth Assembly Church, Goa, India. The second instalment of a three part message, is a simple, yet realistic breakdown and expose of Satan and his children, and just what they have managed to accomplish in this world. Good evening each and every one, and shalom! This evening by the grace of God, we want to go straight into continuing our message, titled, THE PROSPERITY OF SERPENT SEEDS. Proverbs Chapter 1, verse 32 declares: For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. Yesterday, brothers and sisters, we ended with Genesis Chapter 4, where we saw the lineage of Cain, which gives us the lineage of the serpent's seeds. And in that Chapter of the Holy Bible, we are given the first civilization ever established on this planet, and it was established by the serpent seeds. But in contrast to them, we also saw in the last two verses of Chapter 4, verses 2526, an introduction of the Sethite lineage, the lineage of the sons of God, people who lived a very humble and simple life, and who had Elohim as the centre of their lives, for they were the ones calling upon the name of the Lord. This gives us the two main streams of humanity on this planet from that time forth: The lineage of Cain, which is the

2 Page 2 lineage of serpent seeds, and the lineage of Seth, which is the lineage of the sons and daughters of God. Saints, in that world, that first world, it was the seeds of the serpent that established the first civilization that was established upon this planet. That was why William Branham often declared that civilization is of the devil; that it is not of God. In his message preached in 1965, titled, God's Power To Transform, paragraph 75, Brother Branham declared: CIVILIZATION IS OF THE DEVIL. I just got through preaching on that. Brothers and sisters, you have to understand that he made that statement, because it is through all these civilizations that we see the establishment of Satan's order on the planet. Civilization, being of man, brings nothing but the establishment of Satan's order on this planet, for he is the prince or the ruler of the cosmos, which is the world and its order. That is precisely why there is No civilization that has ever been founded upon revealed faith, (which is divine truth), righteousness, goodness, fairness, (which is equity, which also entails the consideration of others), peace, love, honour and integrity: Because all these attributes are attributes of God, and they are completely foreign to Satan, the devil; they are foreign to his evil attributes and characteristics! For there is No truth, No g o o d n e s s, N o righteousness, No love, No equity or fairness, and certainly No peace in him! SATAN IS THE PRINCE OF CHAOS! He is the author of immorality and decadence, greed, selfishness, envy and jealousy, deception, murder, violence, strife, confusion, and every evil work! And where there is evil, strife, confusion, or chaos, there the devil holds court! In addressing the serpent seeds in his day, Jesus Christ our Lord called Satan the author of lies, as recorded in the Gospel of Saint John Chapter 8, declaring in verse 44: Ye are of your father the DEVIL, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a MURDERER from the beginning, (which is Satan's beginning), and ABODE NOT IN THE TRUTH, because THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: For He Is A Liar, And The Father Of It. In the Book of Ezekiel Chapter 28, he is also revealed as the father of Iniquity, for Iniquity AND PRIDE started in him, as it is written in verses 15-18: Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN THEE. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with VIOLENCE, (during the Prehistoric world, at the testing of angels), and thou hast sinned, (for he led a rebellion of angels against their Creator): therefore I will cast thee as PROFANE, (VILE), out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. (Listen to verse 17): Thine heart was LIFTED UP, (which is PRIDE): because of thy beauty, t h o u H A S T C O R R U P T E D (PERVERTED, like a chronic virus), THY WISDOM by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the

3 multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. Church, everything that is proud and vile, (morally rotten; decadent; despicable); everything that is evil; everything that is violent and wicked; everything that is bad and dastardly; everything that is false and deceptive; anything and everything that is unrighteous, that is Satan, for he is everything that is anti-god! He is opposed to God, and consequently, he cannot accept, and he will not promote, and neither can he do anything good, for that is contrary to himself! So he lives and thrives in evil, strife, violence, confusion, wholesale iniquity, and in whatever is vile and degenerate! The more degenerate something is; the more decadent it becomes, the more the devil is at home, because that is him! Those are his attributes, and he cannot do contrary to that, for he has been totally and absolutely stripped of ALL goodness, being the prince of darkness! So it is not possible, that Satan, being the prince of this world, as Jesus declared in John Chapter 14, verses 30, would allow the world to be ruled by righteousness and equity, which is fairness. The world, the present world, which is his world, has to be ruled by brute force; greed, extreme greed, insatiable greed, and absolute selfishness; lust of all sorts, and inordinate ambition, whether it is for power, money, fame, women, or for material acquisition, you name it! His society has to be ruled by violence and sheer callousness; raw wickedness; lies; deception and intrigues (cunningness), for these are the pure attributes of Satan. That is precisely why you wonder many times: Why is the world so unfair and so inconsiderate? Why are people so selfish and so greedy? Why is the world so evil? Why are people so uncaring? Why is the world so full of hate and wickedness? Why are they so dastardly and sadistic? Why are they so violent and mean? Why are they so vile; so morally bankrupt and degenerate, and without any prick of conscience? Why are Page 3 people so power hungry that they can destroy their own nation, or nations, and even the whole world, if possible, just in order to acquire political power? Why are leaders so corrupt, so greedy, and most selfish? It is because the prince of this world is expressing himself in his world, for the current world order is Satan's order! Are you with me? Satan is expressing himself in his society; he is expressing his attributes in a world that he rules! And all those virtues you are looking for as a believer, are contrary to the attributes of the prince of this world! So you must understand that he lives and thrives in chaos; total disorder; violence and wickedness; absolute evil and meanness; pride and arrogance; immorality; profanity; shamelessness; anything and everything that is contrary to God, who is Truth, Goodness, and Righteousness, that is Satan! That is precisely why Brother Branham often stated that ALL civilization is of the devil, and it is an absolute fact, for it is the absolute truth! I know that many people may find it hard to believe that statement, but I have just given you the basis for it, and the explanation of that

4 Page 4 statement, in order to give you a true understanding of truth. Civilisation has been defined as the stage of human social development and organisation WHICH IS C O N S I D E R E D ADVANCED. In simple terms, it gives us fallen MAN'S ADVANCED WORLD ORDER, all which is under Satan! Can you see the point? Brothers and sisters, we saw that the first civilization which was established on this planet, the first civilization ever, was by the seeds of the serpent. But in contrast to them, the lifestyle of the lineage of the sons of God, the Sethite lineage, was a very simple and humble one, for they lived very simple humble lives. They were not the accomplished musical maestros and engineering wizards of that day, and neither were they the business moguls and celebrities, for they were just a simple humble people. The focus and centre of their lives was Jehovah God. The centre of their lives was their Maker. Therefore, they were people that were ruled by the ways and the laws of God. And just how different and very distinct they were to the Cainites! You have to now see two streams of humanity produced on the earth, two streams of people who were totally different and distinct from one another, all walking this earth: The lineage of the sons of God, which is the lineage of Seth; and the lineage of the children of Lucifer, which is the lineage of Cain, the serpent seeds. They were two completely different and distinct classes of humanity! And if the devil had left the scene just like that; if Satan had not interfered, but had left it alone, then it would have carried on till this very day, and we would have had on earth, two completely different and totally distinct classes of humanity; two streams of humanity, very different and most distinct: One full of goodness, meekness, righteousness, faith, humility, simplicity; and the other one full of everything evil and vile. So the devil knew that he needed to make another move, a second move, his second move. For through his first move in the Garden of Eden, he had gotten a seed to himself, called Cain, using the serpent creature, Adam's servant before the fall. He had to make that move simply because unlike Elohim, he, Satan, cannot create anything, except to pervert and to imitate. And he needed seed for himself. Consequently, he used the serpent creature, for he knew that his seed could mix with that of man, for he was the primate closest to man, and who looked, walked, and talked just like man, and the only primate whose seed could be accepted by the human egg and womb. Therefore, by getting the Serpent to have a sexual relationship with Eve, he got a seed to himself called Cain; and through Cain, who then married his half-sister, he was able to bring many more seeds to himself indirectly or vicariously, which gives us the lineage of Cain, which is the lineage of serpent seeds, children of Lucifer, his vicarious children. Nevertheless, in this evil development, God's objective to get His own seeds was also still being carried on through Seth, producing for God, His own human family, the lineage of the sons of God. The only evil thing in Seth's lineage in that day, was the imputation of death, for death was imputed into their bloodstream. Please note that God did not say: In the day you eat of the fruit of the tree of the

5 knowledge of good and evil, you are going to be evil, and wicked, and vile. No, absolutely not! He only said: The day you eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, YE SHALL SURELY DIE. Period! Therefore, we have to realise that all these other evil and vile attributes were not imputed into their blood stream, and neither were they filled with such a contrary nature, except for the imputation of death which they carried in their blood stream. They would have lived for so long, but before that figurative day of one thousand years was over, they would have died, and they died in reality. That is why none of them lived up to one thousand years, but ALL died short of One Full Day, just as God had decreed that they would! Methuselah, the man who lived the longest, lived 969 years; but he still fell short of one full day by 31 years, which gives us a whole three decades! The point remains that all the evil attributes we see being expressed in the lineage of serpent seeds, as recorded in Genesis Chapter 4, were foreign to the genetic constitution of Adam and his lineage, until a set point in time, because they were genetically pure! The mere fact that Adam was genetically pure in his day, having no evil genes in his DNA, apart from having death in his blood stream, proves undoubtedly that Seth, his offspring, the one who took the place of Abel for inheritance purposes, was also genetically pure, without any evil genes in his DNA, for as it is written: Every seed produces after his kind, for seeds beget like seeds! Period! Church, Seth also, being himself a pure seed of Adam, could not have passed to his own seeds, evil genes which he did not have. So you must agree with me tonight, and I do not care what any man says to the contrary, Seth was a pure seed of God, genetically speaking, for his DNA was pure, except the imputation of death that he had in his bloodstream, which was passed on to him by his father. That was the only negative thing in Adam and Seth's DNA! So when Seth gave birth to a child, as we read here in Genesis Chapter 4, he named him Enos. Church, as we brought out in the Scribe message titled, Genesis: The Mixing of Seeds, the name Enos in itself was prophetic, because it carried a Page 5 revelation of the genetic fall which the Sethite lineage would experience. And Enos means Mortal man. It showed that something bad was going to happen, for the Sethite lineage was also going to go carnal, even though before now, they had been spiritual, carrying only the imputation of death in their bloodstream. This brings us to the second move of Satan, and God was going to let him. I have a reason for taking this route. Please just bear with me. But on the earth, there were two streams of humanity, totally different and distinct from one another, as day is from night, and as light is from darkness. You could tell, for it was that plain! One group, who were the sons of God, were humble and simple in lifestyle, and they worshipped God, and lived their lives around the worship of their Creator; whilst the other group, the serpent seeds, were living just for the flesh, minding only earthly things, being completely removed from God, though very prosperous in the material things of this earth. So the devil realized he needed to make another move, if the sons of God were to serve him. This brings us to the setting in Genesis Chapter

6 Page 6 6, and we will take it from verse 1: And it came to pass, when MEN, (Cainite men, serpent seeds), began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God, (Sethite men, God's seeds), saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. Saints, if they took them wives as much as they desired or chose, what does this give us? We are looking at polygamy! Now, how did this happen? It certainly did not happen overnight, for nothing happens overnight. But here in this Chapter, we are only seeing the climax of a trend that started way before this Chapter, for it was now in this Chapter that God decided to bring it to a close. So something had happened in the lineage of Adam, the Sethite lineage, which is the lineage of the sons of God. Verse 3: And the Lord said, My Spirit shall not always strive with MAN, for that he is ALSO FLESHLY... So why was God grieved? He was not grieved because of the serpent seeds! Church, the seeds of the serpent could do nothing but express the evil attributes of the serpent, and surely the Lord could certainly not have expected anything better from them than what He got from their progenitor, the heartless, wicked, and most impudent Cain! Come on! You would be a fool to expect to get orange juice from lime! You cannot also take your pineapple to the kitchen, cut it up, and when you begin to juice it, you say to it: Give me orange juice. I expect you to give me orange. As I now juice you, please bring forth orange juice. In juicing it, what can it give you, and what will it give you in reality? Pineapple! Why? Because it is pineapple, not orange! If you want orange juice, then you need orange fruit. Period! I say that to show you that God could not have been grieving on account of the seeds of the serpent, because they cannot be anything else! Therefore, you must understand that God was grieved solely because of His own children! That in itself lets you see that prior to the evil development of mixed marriages, which took place between the Sethite men and the Cainite daughters, there was a marked difference in the character mold of the Sethites, compared with the Cainites, for there was a marked difference in the genetic constitution of the children of God, who now fell short, thus becoming carnal; becoming, as God now put it, he is ALSO (or likewise) FLESH, or FLESHLY, just like the Cainites! This was what grieved His heart! The marked character trait differences existing between the two seeds were now wilted down, and eventually wiped out, through mixed marriages, by the process of the genetic transfer of the evil attributes in the DNA of the serpent seeds! You have to read between the lines! Otherwise, I have to ask, since when were men not flesh; or better still, since when were they not men of flesh and blood? When the Lord made Adam and Eve, He made them flesh and blood. So when He said, he also is flesh, that simply means that he is now also carnal, as opposed to being the spiritual people that they once were, for carnality had set in! Simple! Something had been imputed or transferred into their DNA; something had been injected and infused into their pure genetic state, in

7 order to defile their pure genetic constitution. How did this happen? It was through the mixed marriages that took place in Genesis! And you all know that evil is dominant. In demonstrating the dominance of the evil gene, I always tell the church: Take a clear glass of clean water, and a spoon full of dirty water or iodine. Pour the spoon of dirty water or iodine into the glass of clean water, and it changes everything. It becomes cloudy, for it just fouls it up! In comparison, now take a glass of dirty water, and take one spoon full of clean water, and pour that spoon of clean water into the glass of dirty water, and you will see that it will make no difference to the glass of dirty water. How many see the point? Why? It is because evil is dominant! The evil gene is dominant, and the devil knew that, for he knows the laws of genetics. So he decided, I will use the evil genes of the lineage of the serpent, to bring down the pure genetic state of the lineage of the sons of God. God was also going to allow this second evil move of Satan, knowing that He, God, was one step ahead, and also knowing precisely how far it would go, and precisely when He would bring it to a close. By the time we got to Noah's day, the mixed marriages had come to such a dimension, that God decided: Now I have to cut it short. This is where I will close this move of Satan. But the mixed marriages had created a genetic imbalance in their offspring, because it produced giants, which term also encompasses intellectual giants as well, men of renown. However, it is a fact, brothers and sisters, that when you play or toy with God's genetic law, you will always receive a genetic imbalance in its end result. Verse 4: There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. You know the rest of the story. God decided to wipe out everything and start afresh, bringing that old world, the first world, to a close, using the flood in Noah's day. It is therefore very important that we realise that when we come to Genesis Chapter 6, the conditions recorded in it do not give us the starting or the beginning of the mixed Page 7 marriages; it only gives us the ending of it, for it gives us the period of time in Noah's day, when mixed marriages had now come to its head or fullness. It was so bad, that it was hard for Noah to get a chaste wife, so much so that he had to live for almost five hundred years before he could get a wife. It was that bad! At the end of the day, I believe that that man, being a righteous man, got the best he could get. I believe he got the best he could get. But everything had come to a head, and the proof of it is this: In Noah's day, God brought everything to a close, because God wiped away that class of humanity, and everything else, and we know that God does not judge anything until the cup of the Amorites are full! Is that right? Yes! He wiped them all out with the flood, and saved Only Noah and his household, who were just eight souls in number, and the rest of the people perished! Even Noah's brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, cousins, and what have you, all perished in the flood! When Jesus died on the Cross, he had to go and preach to their spirits in prison. Thus saith the Word of God, and we have the

8 Page 8 truth of that laid out in the Scribe titled, He Preached To Spirits In Prison: Who Are They? Church, the first world is the world we see laid out in Genesis Chapters 4-6, which was brought to a close in Genesis Chapter 6, in Noah's day. That is the first world, the first human world. But before we consider the second world, let us wrap up our thought concerning the first world. The question is: How did the serpent seeds get over the ark into the new world, which gives us the second world, since God wiped out that generation of people? We are told by some men in the Branham Movement that it was through Mrs. Noah. And when men have toys, you can never take their toys from them, for they will never give them up. You just have to leave them with their toys. Brothers and sisters, if Mrs. Noah was the one that had the problem, how come after the flood, Noah was the drunk? Where did he get that character trait from? I will remind you that we do not have problems with Noah planting a vineyard, or even with the fact that he drank some wine; for after all, our Saviour Jesus Christ gave wine to guests at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. The problem we have is with his DRUNKENNESS! The truth is that if Noah had no evil attribute in him, as some claim that he was a pure Sethite, genetically, for they claim that he was pure in his DNA, then we must ask: Who taught him to drink to excess, for we are now seeing a lifestyle? I thought he was a pure Sethite, with no evil attribute in him at all! Yet, we know or should know that everything about his lifestyle did not need to be written, as that drunken lifestyle he expressed tells us something about his genetic makeup, that he was a man of like passion, one saved by grace! Otherwise, we have to ask: Where did he get that drunken trait from? Because our God is not a drunk, and neither does He raise up drunks! Adam did not exhibit any drunken characteristics, and neither did Seth, or Enoch! That is precisely why it is written: But NOAH FOUND GRACE in the eyes of the Lord, which is nothing but UNMERITED FAVOUR, something that was not deserved! It was all grace, and not because he was better. However, inspite of his shortcomings, there was still something in Noah that he could hear from God above his peers, and God knew that, and God was going to use that. And may I even add that it was still the grace of God preserving that divine essence in Noah. How many see the point? It is still the grace of God preserving such a man for Himself, because God will never leave Himself without a true witness at any point in time; because He is God! I have said all that just to prove to you that the evil serpentine genes had been totally infused into the DNA of the Sethite lineage, through mixed marriages, and by the time things got to Noah's day, everything and everyone had been fouled up, and Noah himself was not exempt from this sad reality, for he was no longer pure. Now, he not only had the imputation of death in his DNA, he now also had other evil traits, evidenced by his drunken stupor lifestyle. Period! That was why, right after the flood of divine judgment, which God meted out to that generation of people for drinking (alcoholism), as Jesus attested to it in Luke Chapter 17, verses 26-27, Noah, the prophet of God, went right back to doing

9 what he was used to doing, for as it is written in Genesis Chapter 9, verse 21, he drank of the wine, and was DRUNKEN; AND HE WAS UNCOVERED (NAKED) within his tent. He drank himself into a state of drunkenness, and he stripped himself naked, and passed out! And he was a prophet of God! Think about it! You know the rest of the story. Brothers and sisters, by this evidence, we know today, that the serpent seeds did not cross the flood through Mrs. Noah. The Sethite lineage were no longer pure, for the genetic constitution of the Adamic lineage had been completely fouled up, and the name of ENOS carried that prophetic reality, for his name means Mortal man, or Carnal man, thus signifying that in his days the mixed marriages would start. And why would a spiritual man like Seth, a pure seed of Adam, name his own child Mortal man, if it was not prophetic, just as Methuselah was a prophetic name? Exactly! That should let you know that that name was given by prophetic revelation to Seth, just as in Genesis Chapter 3, verse 20, Adam had also named his wife, EVE, by divine prophetic revelation as well, which means the mother of ALL living. The name of Enos is prophetic, because in his days, a carnal development would take place. That is exactly why they began to call upon the name of the Lord for grace and salvation, because they could see: This is not a good development; this is not a good trend. We should separate ourselves. We should not mix marry. The results will not be good. And that was what motivated Enoch to walk with God, and he began to prophesy against all those things, telling them in that day: God is going to judge it, for He is coming. This is out of order; this is wrong. He walked with God, and God took him home; the first man to cheat death, because that man never went by the way of the grave. And there are people looking at me tonight, as well as those who are hearing the sound of my voice, who will likewise cheat death, because they will not go by the way of the grave. They will never know what it is to die. Brothers and sisters, Enoch walked with God by faith, and by the time we come to Noah's day, the condition had become so Page 9 bad, that there was no longer any pure Sethite. They were still sons of God, but they were no longer pure in their DNA. So God wiped away that humanity, starting afresh with Noah and his three sons. But already, Noah was carrying the genes of evil in him, in his DNA also. Are you with me? And because seeds beget like seeds, Noah himself being defiled in his genetic constitution or DNA, made it impossible for him to give birth to children who were genetically pure. Saints, although God wiped out the world before the deluge, which was the first world, and started afresh with the three sons of Noah, that is Shem, Ham, and Japheth, nevertheless, it is most important that we understand that the family of Noah were not pure, for they ALL had serpentine genetic traits in them, every last one of them. The truth is that since Noah himself was not pure, then you know that Shem, Ham, and Japheth were not pure either. However, another truth is that we do not have the same measure of genetic attributes of our parents, for we have it in measures. This means that a child born to a man and his wife, can have more

10 Page 10 negative genes than another child born to the same parents; for the second child can have more of the good genetic attributes of his parents than the first born, and viceversa. You know that is a fact! A parent can give birth to two children: One can be very nice, gentle, and obedient, whilst the other one can be a devil, giving them heartaches and sleepless nights every day. That is the truth! Yet they both came out from the same loins, and from the same womb! But one is very dutiful, very obedient, but the other one is a load of trouble, a heartache to his parents. How come the difference? We know for a fact that some children have been the ones who killed their parents in cold blood, for they are evil children, parent murderers! This indeterminable reality of genetic transfer in offspring, is what you must see when Noah gave birth to his three sons. And because the serpentine attributes had now been fused in Noah, only God knows what genetic traits a child would take from his parents from that time on. But Brother Amos, I thought you were preaching on The Prosperity of Serpent Seeds? Yes I am! Just be patient and pay attention, for we are leading up to something, and it is very important that you see this issue, for it is material to what I want to show you. The mixed marriages having come to a head in Noah's day, and the Lord having also cut it short, to start anew, we must always remember that from that point, the two different and distinct streams of humanity we saw in Genesis Chapter 4, were now fused as one, and God started afresh with Noah. In Noah were the two genetic traits: Godly and also Serpentine! How many see the point? From that point on, only God knows who is who. And when they began to give birth after the flood, only God knew which child was coming forth, and what kind of genetic quality he had, whether it was good, fair, or evil. It was now left to God to determine when His own seed would come forth, because God APPOINTS SEEDS. Consequently, God alone knows exactly when His own seed is going to come forth, whether male or female, unlike in the days of Adam and Seth, when every child born was a seed of God. This is precisely why nobody knows who God's seeds are anymore, and who are not God's seeds, for the distinction has been totally removed by the mixed marriages recorded in Genesis. How many see the point? That was why after the flood, as they began to give birth, there was no longer any distinct classes of humanity that you could say: These are serpent seeds, and they live here, and these other ones are the sons of God, and they live over there. Brothers and sisters, everything was now mixed, and they all lived together as one people in the earth, ALL Noah's children! Unlike in the beginning with Adam, now we all come out from the same loins of Noah! The two seeds remain, scattered throughout humanity, but only God knows who is who, and only God knows the attributes buried in each and every little baby that is born, crying in the crib; only God knows whether he is a child of God, or of the devil, for the two seeds are now totally mixed. But the attitude people show towards God and His Word, is a pointer to whether they are of God or of Satan. However, the mixing of seeds came to its completion in Noah's day. That is precisely why it is

11 written in the Book of Acts Chapter 17, verse 26: And (God) hath MADE of ONE BLOOD, (which is the blood of Noah), ALL nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth That is the written and infallible testimony of God, confirming that in Noah, the mixing of seeds ended, for from thence, ALL humanity on this planet today was produced through his loins, after the flood, both seeds and nonseeds of God! Did you hear that? Just as Eve became the mother of ALL LIVING, being the mother of the Cainites as well as the Sethites, so also did Noah become the father of ALL LIVING, for he is the progenitor of ALL men, seeds and none seeds. Consequently, from thence, only God knows who His sons and daughters are, and only God knows who the seeds of the serpent, the children of the devil are; but the two seeds remain, and are now produced by the same loins. Yes, Shem was the heir, and through him, the lineage of Jesus Christ was traced. However, we must not forget that the three sons of Noah were ALL genetically impure. And furthermore, there was no longer any identifiable lineage of the serpent, physically or racially speaking, unlike before the flood, when they existed as a different and distinct race or class of people. Brothers and sisters, the point is this: One civilization just ended, for God wiped it out completely. And the leaders of that civilization, the people that established that civilization, were not the children of God, for civilization has never been of God; none has! I am only trying to show you what Brother Branham meant, because a lot of people have problems with Brother Branham saying that. He made a lot of statements that people cannot relate to, for sheer lack of understanding. He often said, Civilization is of the devil, and people would question it in their hearts, asking: How can he say that? Is he telling us that it is not good to have nice cars and live in lovely homes, and have these conveniences of life? Brothers and sisters, that is how some people relate to things, for they lack a real understanding of truth! But as bride saints, we must have understanding; we must know how to relate to something, because scripturally speaking, we Page 11 are the wise people of this end time; the wisest people on this planet today, for we have the wisdom of God which is Christ. The truth remains that the civilization established in Genesis Chapter 4, was not established by the sons of God, but by serpent seeds. And that is precisely why in that civilization, all it gave us was nothing but man's order or man's governance, fallen man's order on this planet, which is always contrary to divine order. That is a fact! Their way of life and everything: Their politics; their economics; their social life, and even their religion, when they try to offer a semblance of worship to God, are always contrary to truth and righteousness. That is man's order, man's civilization, for it is controlled by Satan, and it is not of God, and never has been. Moreover, you are not going to change the course of things, and it can only get worse and worse, as we come to the end. Now we want to move forward to the new civilization, which is the second civilization established on this planet, right after the flood, at the very beginning of the second world, this second world, of which we are now

12 Page 12 living at its end. With the first civilization gone, together with all its peoples, God gave a commission to Noah and his three sons, to carry out a repopulation of this earth, because God's desire to have a human family who will fill his planet, still had to be carried on. I have to point out though, that God has all His children through the fall, but through redemption they will all be brought back to the state they would have had in the beginning, had Adam and Eve not fallen. Genesis Chapter 9, verse 1 declares: And God blessed Noah AND HIS SONS, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and REPLENISH THE EARTH. The world had been destroyed, and the civilization of Satan was wiped out without a trace, and not one building was left standing. God wiped it all totally out! It was completely destroyed, because the end of all civilization is total annihilation, and annihilation simply means destruction. That is the end of ALL civilization, for its end is certain destruction, complete destruction. Therefore, in Noah's day, God wiped the slate clean completely, and started afresh, using Noah and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, to repopulate the earth. Noah did not have any more children though, although he received the commission along with his three sons. The commission was therefore carried on through Shem, Ham and Japheth, all seeds of Noah. Saints, you will agree with me tonight: I do not care what the colour of a race might be, any race, and I do not care what the colour of a man might be, whatever the colour or race, we all go back to one man, Noah; and we are all the offspring of one man, Noah; and we all came out of the womb of one woman, Mrs Noah. This is absolutely so, because Noah, through his three sons, is the progenitor of every race on this planet! Every race, nation, and tribe eventually evolved from one man, Noah, on the full and unquestionable authority of the Scriptures. Brothers and sisters, Shem, the progenitor of the yellow race, with Ham, the progenitor of the black race, and also with Japheth, the progenitor of the white race, the three sons of Noah, along with their three wives, began to reproduce in the earth, and by them has the whole earth been repopulated or replenished. A second world started, right after the first world, and now, we are looking at the beginning of it, for we are the ones living at the ending of it; we are in the second world, at the very end of it. This fact is confirmed by the Holy Bible, which is why it is written in the Book of 2 Peter Chapter 3, verses 3-7: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. (Now pay attention to what verse 5 says): For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the Word of God the heavens were OF OLD, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby THE WORLD that then was, (which gives us the world before the flood), being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, WHICH ARE NOW, (which gives us this world, our world, which is the

13 second world that began right after the flood), by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. Exactly! Church, we are now living at the end of the second world. But now come with me, as we lay out the beginning of our world, the second world. Open with me to the Seed Chapter, which is the Book of Genesis, and we will consider Chapter 11, starting from verse 1, and it records: And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. The Hindi language did not exist in that day, and neither did the Telugu, the English, the Spanish, the French, the Portuguese, or the Yoruba language. There was only one language in that day for ALL men, right from the days of Adam and Eve. And God is going to restore that one language again to the earth, in His own civilization, which is the Millennial kingdom, a kingdom of peace, righteousness, equity, and prosperity. Oh, my! I cannot wait for that day! I am looking forward to it, a time when the peoples of the world will not have any language barrier whatsoever, in relating to one another, for as it is written, the Lord shall restore unto the earth a pure language, One Language. Glory to God! Verses 1-9 recounts: And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, (in the area of modern day Iraq); and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the Lord said (to His angelic helpers), Behold, the people IS ONE, and they have all ONE LANGUAGE; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and Page 13 there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. Amen. We all know the story of Babel. Babel means confusion, and it is also a word that stands for Babylon, as well as for spiritual Babylon, the great whore. Now, at the beginning of the second world, God having wiped away the first world, men were supposed to be scattered abroad in this world, in order to repopulate it, and to replenish it, for God wants the earth to be inhabited. But here came Satan again on the scene, setting in motion his third move. He inspired them against the commission of God to replenish and to refill the earth, seeking to defeat the divine objective of God, working against the will of the Father. Now please pay close attention, and listen carefully to what I say, and

14 Page 14 how I say it. I have to say this, brothers and sisters, that when you look at the three children of Noah, although every last one of them all had serpentine traits, which they all inherited from their father, Noah, it is apparent that in that day, Ham, who was dark skinned, the progenitor of the black race, had more of the serpentine genetic attributes than his other two brothers. Let me say it again: When you look at the three sons of Noah, the serpentine genetic traits that Ham had, was much more than what his two other brothers had. Please have an open heart, and follow me with the eye of the Spirit, which is the third eye, the eye of faith, and hear me out. You do not need to take offence at truth, for we are on holy ground, and I am a seed of Ham myself. But this is about the truth, and as such, racial and human sentiments have to be set aside. I am saying in effect, that Ham had more serpentine genetic attributes in his DNA, in his makeup, over and above that of his brothers, and Satan knew that. The devil realized that the key vessels, racial vessels, for his next move, was the lineage of Ham, the race of Ham, and he was going to use them. Satan had made his first move, and had gotten seed to himself. He had also made his second move, and had fouled up the pure genetic state of the sons of God, till everything was completely fouled up, for everything was now polluted, genetically speaking, thereby ensuring that the people will serve him, on account of their carnal nature. Remember it is written in Romans Chapter 6, verse 16: Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, HIS SERVANTS YE ARE to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, (which is to Satan), or of obedience unto righteousness? (Which is to God). Do not forget that the devil is the god of anything and everything evil. Therefore, the devil knew that by fouling up the clean or pure genetic state of the lineage of Seth, through mixed marriages, and knowing full well that evil is dominant, the sons of God will also serve him indirectly, ruled by the evil traits now in their DNA, for as it is written: to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, HIS SERVANTS YE ARE TO WHOM YE OBEY. However, now that the DNA of the children of God had been completely contaminated, ensuring that even God's predestinated children live according to the dictates of their flesh, for they were now fleshly, yet, in that day, in all the earth, the knowledge of God was still one. In other words, despite the two major moves of Satan in that day, in the earth, there existed only the knowledge of one God, Elohim, the God of ALL Creation; for only Monotheism existed in the world, which is the knowledge and worship of one God, Supreme and Eternal, ALL POWERFUL, and Omnipresent. Polytheism, which gives the knowledge of many gods, did not yet exist, and the thought of it had not yet even entered into the hearts of men. Remember that Cain worshipped God, for he also had a religious spirit, an attribute that he, no doubt, inherited from his mother, Eve. And in that day, the whole earth knew that there was and is only one God, the Creator, for Monotheism held sway over the entire earth, even when Cain walked away from the presence of God. Yes, he stopped

15 worshipping God along with his lineage, but he knew that the Lord alone is God, for there is none else beside Him. Consequently, it was not enough for the devil to rule the human society through their fleshly nature: He also wanted to be God! I will remind you of the prophecy of Isaiah Chapter 14, which gives us the evil ambition of the devil, called Lucifer, as revealed in verses 12-14: How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said IN THINE HEART, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH. He wants to be worshipped as God! And as such, he needed to introduce idolatry, because he could not accomplish his objective with the knowledge of just one God. Therefore, idolatry had to be introduced, paving the way for polytheism, in order to knock away Monotheism, and by this move, people will now worship him, who is Lucifer, literally, just as people worship God. The material question now is this: Who will he use? He needed a vessel to accomplish this third move, ONE WHO WAS MORE SUBSCEPTIBLE! And it had to be the race with the most evil gene, for that opens them up more to his control. Brothers and sisters, it is the lineage of Ham that he used to accomplish this evil move. Church, the serpentine nature was more dominant in the lineage of Ham, and therefore, he was more susceptible to the use of the devil. I will prove everything by the Scriptures. Only have an open mind, for we are the children of light. And irrespective of our race, as people following Jesus Christ in his light, we are on the Amen side, and that is what counts. We are only looking at the past, for it gives us a picture of something. Do not forget that we are speaking about THE PROSPERITY OF SERPENT SEEDS. When we consider the building of the tower of Babel, which now brings us to the picture we have on the left side of our chart, we Page 15 must realise that it was more than just a tower that they were building. Genesis Chapter 11, verse 4, reveals that it was A CITY and a TOWER that they set out to build, for that city would become the capital city of the kingdom they were establishing in that day. But within this city, they were also building a tower, which was going to be the centerpiece of the city, and the focal point of the city, like the main hub of the city of Babel. That would have been the headquarters, and it was with the tower that the building project c o m m e n c e d. Consequently, what you see is a very gigantic, most humongous structure, that was supposed to be a skyscraper, towering to the skies, a great structure which the engineering geniuses of those days could think of, and design, and they knew exactly how to construct, way back then. That in itself lets you see that they had men with big brains, intellectual giants, men who were engineering wizards, because the construction of a whole city, together with its great centre piece, which was the tower, a skyscraper, required enormous intellectual

16 Page 16 ability on many fronts, structural, engineering, architectural, planning, etc. Brothers and sisters, as we brought out in our book titled, THE INPUT OF HAM, a message we have also laid out in the Scribe, when they decided to build the city of Babel and the tower, everybody did not wake up one morning deciding to make brick and slime in order to build a city. Somebody had to be the initiator of it! The project of the building of the city and the tower of Babel could not come from everybody in the world in that day, all at the same time, for that is not how things happen. It had to come from one brain, and that brain had to be a leader, one with influence, one who could make all the people agree to it, and also work to actualize the project. It took the vision of a leader to make that happen. In Goa, for instance, for a bridge to be built, it will not be what you think, or what Brother Allen thinks, or Brother John, or any of us, because we are not in any position of power or authority over the city of Goa to make that happen! Are you with me? So, we must all see that the building of the city and tower which they ALL set to build, and which they would have completed, had God not stopped them, took the inspiration of a leader to set in motion. So it is one thing to see the city and the tower being built, and it is quite another thing to see the brains behind this project, a gigantic construction project which God Himself had to stop, along with His angels. For God testified, and it is written in verse 6: And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now NOTHING will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. God had to call His angels, instructing them in verse 7: Go to, let us go down, and there CONFOUND THEIR LANGUAGE, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. And there, God introduced a multiplicity of languages. Overnight, an anointing was released upon humanity as they slept, and they woke up the following morning with their tongues totally changed, giving them different languages per family. I say this, simply because the Lord did not break up the families, for that would have also defeated God's objective of repopulating and filling the earth. Each family therefore, had to be able to understand one another, and as such, each family unit were given the same language, or the same tongue. That is why you must understand tonight, that language is supernatural. I do not care what language it is; language is supernatural, because it was divinely given. And as it was divinely given overnight, it will also be taken away overnight, and one language be restored back to this earth, in the Millennium. This reminds me of something going on today in the earth, which is medically called the Foreign Accent Syndrome. It is a medical condition where a person suddenly develops a foreign accent, usually triggered by a mere migraine, a head trauma, or other. It is a speech disorder causing a sudden

17 change in speech, enabling an English person, for instance, to speak with a pure Chinese tongue; and there are well over one hundred reported cases of this syndrome around the world, about one hundred and fifty to be exact! That tells me something, for it just shows how language can develop just like that, or how a tongue can develop overnight, for it is just inexplicable! With the introduction of different languages, this made it totally impossible for the construction workers, the builders, as well as the other people, to understand one another, causing them to move away from one another, each person moving away with his immediate family, for each family unit spoke the same tongue, and hence understood one another, and the building project stopped, because they no longer understood one another. Brothers and sisters, the fact is that if we look at Genesis Chapter 11, we see a humongous building, somewhat like the skyscrapers we see today. God testified of that in that day, that all mankind were one, for their heart was united as one. They were totally united in that project, which was anti the commission of God, obligating them to multiply and to fill the earth. They all wanted to remain in and around babel, contrary to the direct instructions of God at the commission, for there was nobody that went against this contrary move. Church, we have to ask ourselves a very material question at this juncture: Who were the leaders of this city building? We have to ask because right here, we see the beginning of a new civilization. We see the beginning of another civilization, the very first civilization in the second world. However, if we relate it to the civilization of the Cainites in Genesis Chapter 4, it was the second civilization established on the planet. How many see that? But when we consider the new world, that is the world after the deluge (the flood), which gives us the second world, this was the first civilization in the second world, because the first civilization in the old world had been wiped out. Now we are in the new world after the deluge, after the flood, and this was the first civilization that was established in it. Brothers and sisters, the first civilization established on the planet in the second Page 17 world, this world, was established by the Hamitic race. That is what I now want to lay out, for you have to see something. Remember that we are speaking about THE PROSPERITY OF SERPENT SEEDS. Genesis Chapter 10, starting from verse 1, declares: Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. Let us skip to verse 6, to take the genealogy of HAM, the second son of Noah, who is the father of the Black and the Coloured race. And when I use the term coloured race, I am referring specifically to the Oriental and the Mongoloid race, who are the descendants of the Hittites and the Sinites, out of the genealogical tree of Canaan. Saints, we must not forget that the lineage of Canaan also takes in the children of Heth, (the Hittites/Cathay), recorded in verse 15, as well as the children of Sin, the Sinites (the Chinese), also recorded in verse 17, for they were also Ham's grandsons, who later spread ABROAD, on the unquestionable

18 Page 18 authority of verse 18, for they spread far and wide, and settled in East Asia, giving us the Oriental people, AND the Mongoloids - the Malayans and the Mayans, (which takes in the Native Americans, as well as the Mexicans and the Central Americans). Verses 15-18, clearly and unambiguously states: And CANAAN begat Sidon his firstborn, and HETH (his second born), And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the SINITE (his eighth born), And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were THE FAMILIES OF THE CANAANITES SPREAD ABROAD, reaching Far East Asia, fulfilling the Commission to replenish the earth! Their lineage was not limited to the Canaanites who settled in the Middle East, even though that is what we concentrate upon most of the time when we talk about Canaan! Come on! I have gone into that only to show you the coverage of the lineage of Ham. Coming back to consider the genealogy of Ham, verse 6 records: And the sons of Ham; Cush (which is Ethiopia), and Mizraim (which is Egypt), and Phut (which is Libya), and Canaan, (which gives us the Canaanites). Verse 7: And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. Now look at verses 8-10: And CUSH (the first son of Ham), begat Nimrod. So Nimrod was Ham's grandson. Ham begat Cush, and Cush begat Nimrod, making Nimrod the grandson of Ham, who was in turn, the second son of Noah. Now listen carefully to the testimony of God in His written and infallible Word. We will take it from verse 8 again: And Cush begat Nimrod: he (Nimrod) BEGAN to be a mighty one in the earth. That is a world class leader, the first world class leader in the second world. It is not my testimony; it is the testimony of the Scriptures, and we all know that it is infallible, for it is God's own testimony! I will remind you that Moses was not there in that day, and as such, it was a divine revelation of God to him, for he was the one the Lord used to give the world this written record of the Seed Chapter of the Holy Bible, which is the Book of Genesis, the Book of the beginning. Remember also what I said earlier, that the serpentine trait was more in Ham, than it was in his other two brothers, even though every last one of them had that serpentine nature, including Noah. The very fact that Satan found a ready vessel in Nimrod, lets us see precisely the true genetic state of the Hamitic race. For just as Satan knew he could only go through Eve, rather than Adam, for the woman is the weaker sex, according to the Scriptures, and as he also used the Cainites, because of their evil genetic constitution, now he found an avenue in Ham; he found a ready vessel in the lineage of Ham. Why? It was simply because his genetic constitution was the worst of the three sons of Noah, and Satan therefore knew that he could use him, and the Scriptures confirm this truth. We will lay out everything plainly by the grace of God. Just bear with me, and follow my thought projection. But as I said, the very fact that Satan was able to use the Hamitic race to establish another civilization, one that he ruled, one that he controlled, and one which was opposed to God,

19 proves that the race of Ham had more serpentine attributes than his brothers, which was why he was used by the devil. Period! That was why from the very beginning of that civilization; from the very onset, the people of that day were firmly set against God's plan for the second world. How many see the point? Right after the flood, in Genesis Chapter 9, verse 1, God gave Noah and his sons the commission to Be fruitful, and multiply, AND REPLENISH THE EARTH. But no, they did not want that! For in direct contrast to God's will, and as Genesis Chapter 11, verse 4, confirms, they wanted to build A CITY and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven L E S T W E B E SCATTERED ABROAD UPON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH! That was a direct unity against God's expressed will! It was in direct opposition to the expressed will of God for the earth! And it was the lineage or the children of Ham that led the world in this open rebellion, for they were inspired by Satan to move the world against God's plan to refill the earth! God has an objective for this planet, and He wants it populated! Before the foundation of the world, the Lord had even predetermined their habitation, and the time of their national evolution. The three sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, produced the three major races of people we have on this planet: The yellow race, the black race, and the white race, respectively. But there was going to be many subraces which would have evolved out of these three major races, and there was also going to be many nations and tribes that evolved out of them as well. Are you with me? In God's mind, way back there in eternity, before the world was created, the Lord had planned out in His omniscient mind, precisely where each race would settle, and when, and the period of time that the various nations and tribes would also be established. He knew which continent would belong to who. God had already planned everything out. It was to be achieved progressively with the passage of time, for it could not be accomplished in one day. Unfortunately, Satan, the opposer of God, wanted to hi-jack the new world, which is the second world, Page 19 and he hi-jacked it, so that he could become god, the object of worship. Therefore, Monotheism had to go! Hence, at the beginning of this second world, the people of the world were set against God's plan, against God's commission, and they were so firmly united in it, that it took God and His angels to stop it. What does that show you? It was Satan's move! And if you consider the civilization that evolved in that day, the civilization that was established, the leaders of the world in that day were the Hamitic race of people, and that is thus saith the Lord in His infallible Word! Genesis Chapter 10, verse 8, declares that, Nimrod: he BEGAN to be a mighty one IN THE EARTH. That is a world leader! Look at the next verse, for it reaffirms this truth, declaring in verse 9: He was A MIGHTY HUNTER before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. Brother Allen, I have read some translations in history books where they are trying to change the truth by rewriting history, and are diluting and denying the truth of the position which Nimrod held in that day. As long as it is

20 Page 20 not something attributed to the Japhetic race, which is the white race, it is nothing, and hence, they simply water it down. Anything that seems to project or suggest a bigness of any other race, they water it down, and say, That is not what it means This is what it means, and they make nonsense of it. I read the translation or the interpretation they gave to this verse, verse 9, and I laughed! They said, Well, it just means that he liked to hunt, and he was a very good hunter. Okay, if that is what that was about, what about the preceding verse? What are you going to do with verse 8, which plainly declares that Nimrod: he began to be A MIGHTY ONE in the earth! That simply gives you a world leader! So if he was indeed a world leader, then what is he hunting? Animal game? Come on! This is figurative language, for you have to see an accomplished and fearless soldier, a warrior, like the military generals of today! Come with me to the Book of Prophet Jeremiah, and let me show you a similar hunter. This is a prophecy concerning the restoration of Israel, for it deals strictly with the logistics of how the Lord will get the children of Israel back to their land, the land of Israel, after so many centuries spent in diaspora in Europe, and having settled down, and doing well. God first sent fishers with a bait, who were none other than the Zionist Movement, promising them free land in return for emigration to Palestine, and they only were booed and threw them out, turning them down. The Lord now sent hunters after them, and that did the job, for by the time it was all over, by the time the hunters had finished with them, about six million Jews were slaughtered, and they were now ready to return to Palestine. Jeremiah Chapter 16, verse 16 records: Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they, (the fishers, the Zionist Movement leaders), shall fish them (who are the Jews); and after, (because they will reject the Zionist Movement leaders, the fishers), will I send for MANY HUNTERS, and they SHALL HUNT THEM from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. That is none other than the Gestapo Nazi soldiers! And look at it, by the time these hunters had hunted for the Jews all over Europe, six million Jews were dead! Now they wanted to go back home, just as God willed, and in 1948, Israel was made a Nation again by an act of the United Nations, all under God! So what are they going to do with the hunters here? Are they going to make them animal hunters? Come on! Nimrod as a hunter has no bearing to animals, but to human beings, for you are looking strictly at an accomplished soldier, a military general, even though there is no doubt, that he would have also loved game hunting, (animal hunting), as a means of developing his marksmanship! Period! This just lets you see, brothers and sisters, that people are just following tradition, hand-me-down tradition. They are not following any revelation of the Word, and you are not going to get them to. So, all we need to do is take the knowledge of hunters as laid out in Jeremiah Chapter 16, verse 16, and transpose it to the testimony of Moses in Genesis concerning Nimrod, who, already, is said to be a mighty one in the earth, and you see absolutely nothing but a

21 global leader, and a military general! Moreover, this truth is vindicated by the infallible corroborating testimony of the Word of God recorded in 1 Chronicles Chapter 1, giving us the seal, as verse 10 declares: And Cush begat NIMROD: he began to be MIGHTY UPON THE EARTH. Full stop! Case closed! Nimrod, being a mighty hunter, was a great military general in the earth, one who was most feared and revered, and a man who was the first world class leader of his kind in all human history! I say that because even in the days of the lineage of Cain, that is, in the days before the flood, you do not find any such singular character! Before the flood, Satan's plan had not yet progressed to the point where he could have such a figure, a global figure, a Proto-type figure, one through whom he would be characterized and expressed on earth, all pointing to the reign of THE ANTICHRIST, the Man OF SIN, the False Prophet, Satan Incarnate! In order to have a world class leader, the two lines first had to be mixed, and it was eventually mixed, otherwise, the sons of God would not have followed such a leader! Exactly! Now he could move to Plan C, having realized Plans A and B! Hence it is written of Nimrod in 1 Chronicles Chapter 1, verse 10, that he began to be MIGHTY UPON THE EARTH, for he became the first world class leader! Genesis chapter 10 has already laid out this truth, declaring in verses 8-9: And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be A MIGHTY ONE IN THE EARTH. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter, (the mighty soldier; the mighty military general) before the Lord. Why did they attribute that to him? Why did they say: Nimrod the mighty hunter BEFORE THE LORD? Brothers and sisters, they were in awe of him, and as such, they attributed him to being of God, a God sent great man! That was the testimony of the people! For Moses was inspired to write on Nimrod, his leadership position, and his perception by the people, for they felt he was God sent, a great world class leader anointed by God! Page 21 And is that not how the world is looking at the present Bishop of Rome, Pope Francis? Yes! Exactly! Yet, every man that occupies the seat of the Bishop of Rome is necessarily AN antichrist, for the papal office is the office of The Antichrist to come, the man whose world leadership position was foreshadowed or typed by Nimrod, way back then in Genesis. Hence it is written: Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord. Even the sorcerer in Samaria, Simon by name, was referred to by the people in this fashion, as recorded in Acts Chapter 8, verse 10: This man is the great power of God. But the man was only a sorcerer! Church, Nimrod was nothing but an instrument in the hand of Lucifer, for he was a man used to establish a new civilization in the earth, right after the flood. And the next verse confirms this truth, even as verse 10 now states: And the beginning of his kingdom WAS BABEL Hold it there! Did you hear what God just laid out in this verse? This is the testimony of God in His revelation to Moses, and through Moses! The Holy Bible says: The

22 Page 22 beginning of his kingdom... Now, we are no more looking at just the building of cities, but of an empire, for they built many cities, which verses gives to us, from the cities of Nineveh and Rehoboth in verse 11, to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in verse 19. As a matter of fact, the record of Ham is concluded in verse 20, where it is written: These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their COUNTRIES, and in their NATIONS. In complete contrast, the words their lands, and their nations, was what was used to describe the record of Japheth and Shem, in verses 5 and 31, respectively, showing the great worldly advancement of the lineage of Ham in that era of time. Consequently, with respect to Nimrod, it was much more than just building cities and nations, for now, it was about the building of a kingdom, which in this verse is an empire! Saints, this gives us the very first empire that was ever established upon this planet, and it was established by the lineage of Ham, just as it is written: And the beginning of HIS KINGDOM was Babel in the land of Shinar. How many see the point? Come on! This is the record of the Word of God, the Holy Bible! In the entire Scriptures, this is the very first time, and the very first place, that the terminology of kingdom was used, and it was used in the very same way we speak about the Medo- Persian kingdom; the Grecian kingdom; and the Roman kingdom, all kingdoms expressed in the Book of Daniel Chapter 7! They ALL refer to world empires or world kingdoms! That is why it is written that he began to be a mighty one in the earth. he began to be mighty in the earth. Verse 10 states: And the beginning of his kingdom was BABEL... That is Babylon! This Babylon is w h a t K i n g Nebuchadnezzar later took on, and brought to its greatest glory, with his hanging gardens, majestic engineering and first class architecture, and so on and so forth, right there in the land of Shinar, which gives us the area of modern day Iraq. Brothers and sisters, please hold it for a while. I pray God helps me tonight, for I am establishing something. The first civilization that was established on the earth after the flood gives us Babylon, and it was established by Nimrod of the Hamitic lineage, a son of Cush, and the grandson of Ham. However, the real issue, or the material point is this: How come the Hamitic race led the world in establishing this civilization? There is only one reason why: They were the great minds of those days: Military geniuses; engineering wizards; architectural masters; agricultural specialists, and economic think tanks. How many see the point? For just as the serpent seeds were the intellectual giants before the flood, people who built cities, and who were scientifically minded, being earthly minded, and highly prosperous, so were the children of Ham at the beginning of this second world. And as a result of these facts, they were revered, even though it is difficult to conceive this truth now, because of the present state of the race of Ham. I will remind you of the glory of Egypt, and the Universities in Alexandria. For when it came to the study of mathematics, sciences, medicine, navigation, astronomy, agriculture, they were ahead of every other race. Do not forget that the

23 people of Mizraim, who are the Egyptians, taught the world irrigation farming, using the Nile River to water the desert areas. Speaking of the Egyptian mummies, the art of embalming, an art which they perfected by their deep knowledge of chemistry, still mesmerizes the world as we speak! Saints, on account of their deep knowledge of mathematics and the sciences, including astronomy and navigation, is the reason they excelled above all other races back then, but all in earthly accomplishments. That is precisely why they also preceded both the Japhetic and Shemitic races of people, on every Continent on this planet, for they had great minds, earthly speaking; but there was nothing of God in them, for they were a people completely removed from God! We all know that people love to follow the leaders of the world. Look at it today: How the world loves and reveres the Japhetic race, the white race! Whatever they wear or do is acceptable, and they are treated with respect around the globe, above all other races! The world do not care about how they look or dress, and neither do they care about how they present themselves, as long as they see that white skin, everybody bows to them. Ask me, why? Because they are the leaders of the world, this world, our world, this ending world! So they occupy a position of respect and privilege, a position that the whole world are envious of, on account of their skin colour, doors of opportunity open for them automatically, anywhere around the world, is it whether concerning jobs, business, or even housing, an advantage which a black person certainly does not have. Even in the Philippines, all their adverts on television are about white toning creams, for it is all about how they can become white in skin colour, for they adore the whites, and want to become white! It is all on account of the leadership position they occupy in the world, for no one will argue when I say that they are the leaders of the world. Yes, they are! I am saying that just to make a point, in order to let you see what happened way back there, so that you can relate to it. For just as we all happily follow the white race today in everything, on account of Page 23 their world leadership positon, whether it is political, military, economic, scientific, and even socially, (for they are the ones that set the social trend for the world), so also did the Shemitic and the Japhethic races follow the Hamitic race in that day, way back then, at the beginning of this world, this second world. Church, it is a plain and settled Scriptural fact, that when you come to Genesis Chapter 11, the leading race for the establishment of that civilization was Ham's race, and in that day, the Shemitic race, as well as the Japhetic race, followed Ham happily. There was no envy, and there was no jealousy, and neither was there any rivalry amongst them on account of skin colour, for it just did not exist. Racial prejudice had not yet been introduced by the devil, but that was to come later, and it is here. For today, people hate the blacks, just on account of their colour, which is why the blacks are being openly oppressed in America today, particularly by the police, who are killing them on the streets like flies, and with absolute impunity, every blessed day. That did not exist in

24 Page 24 that day, because all that had not yet been introduced into human affairs. It would come, but it had not yet been introduced. Moreover, the Hamitic race could not have been discriminated against, because, like the white race today, the Hamitic race were the people with the know-how; the leaders. So, who was going to hold any prejudice against them? Yes, I know that it is very hard to relate to these things, even with the compelling, unquestionable, and infallible witness of the Word of God, because of the downtrodden state of the Hamitic race today, a condition we have always known, for that is all we see. Yet, at the beginning of this world, this second world, they led the world. We believe this truth, for as it is written, For we walk by faith, not by sight. The truth remains that in that day, they were the leading scientists and mathematicians, etc., for they were responsible for the civilization of that day, coming out of the flood, but it was a world without the Almighty God, Jehovah. That is also true! I am going to read some Scriptures to you tonight, and you will have no choice but to bow to truth, as an elect seed of God called as bride. In the Book of Daniel, God gave Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, a prophetic dream of a great image, an image we have on our chart, with the Head of FINE GOLD ; his breast and arms of Silver ; his belly and thighs of Brass ; his two legs of Iron ; and his Feet, partly IRON and partly CLAY. This image represents the four Beast World Empires, which are the Babylonian Beast Empire or Kingdom, followed by the Medo- Persian Beast Empire or Kingdom, succeeded by the Grecian Beast Empire or Kingdom, and lastly followed by the Roman Beast Empire or Kingdom. This image gives us nothing but an hour glass, or a time gauge, and it relates to the Four Beast Empires, starting with the time of the Babylonian Empire, time going down finally to the time or the hour of the ten toes, or the ten horns of Europe, which is the Roman Beast Empire, in its end time reconstituted geographical entity, called the European Union, where time finally ends. Now listen to the testimony of God Himself concerning these Four Beasts, as recorded in Daniel Chapter 2, verses 37-39: Thou, O king (Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon), art a king of kings, (on a carnal or human level): for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory, (for everything is by God's permission and allowance, for God's ordination still h o l d s ). A n d wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath He given into thine hand (potentially), and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this HEAD OF GOLD. (Now listen to what God now says in verse 39): And AFTER THEE shall arise another kingdom INFERIOR TO THEE, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. That is precisely why the materials or the quality of the image, which starts with the head of gold, only gets lower, and cheaper, and baser, until when time comes to the days of the ten toes, the metal has been reduced to mere iron, which gives us the cheapest and basest of the four metals: gold, silver, brass, and iron! Moreover,

25 it is even iron that is partly mixed with clay, mere earthen clay, which speaks of downright carnality and evil! Clay speaks of man in his lowest and basest state; man at his most decadent state! Period! And we are coming to it. Saints of God, the testimony of God given to and through Prophet Daniel, is basically that of ALL the four world empires, Babylon is the greatest and the most successful, and the most refined, for it is the most humane, of ALL the four empires! ALL the other empires after it, beginning from the Medo-Persian empire, right down to the Roman empire in the Days of the ten toes, which gives us the present day European Union, ARE ALL INFERIOR TO BABYLON! Thus saith the Lord God in His Word! Fight God's testimony if you like! However, the point that I am trying to establish is this: Yes, the Hamitic race led the world in science and arts and in everything, for they were the leaders of that civilization, but it was a civilization of Satan, and they were the principal vessels that the devil used in that day to accomplish his third agenda, or third move, although God allowed it. That was why God later destroyed Babylon, and made it a perpetual ruin, for God was not in it, for it was ruled by Satan! Yet, it was still much better than ALL the other empires after it! Think about it! However, the material point is this: With the founding of Babel or Babylon, through the race of Ham, Lucifer was now able to establish his third agenda on this planet. What was that agenda? Through the leading race of Ham in that day, Idolatry was introduced to the world, and this took away true Monotheism, the knowledge and worship of the One and Only True God, Elohim, Jehovah; not Allah, but Jehovah God, for the worship of Allah had not yet been introduced into the world, until after Mohammed rose up around 613 AD! And who was the principal agent Satan used to introduce Idolatry, which brought Polytheism into the world? It was Nimrod, the son of Cush, and the grandson of Ham, a mighty one in the earth! For the religion of the leader is the religion of the people. And as he began to wage war against anybody who opposed him, no man could stand against Nimrod in his military prowess, for he was much feared and revered. Page 25 Church, once you were conquered, you bowed! Are y o u w i t h m e? Consequently, the religion of the conqueror became the religion of the conquered. How many see the point? That is it! It is the truth, for he was a fearless, accomplished, and most successful world class military general, and a mighty leader in the EARTH in that day, the first of its kind, the man who headed that civilization! Thus saith the Word of God! Consider this: With the rise of Islam in the 600s AD., and the Islamic Jihadists raging through the Arabian Peninsula, the Middle East, and North Africa, slitting the throats of people all over the place with their machetes, the people quickly converted to Islam in order to save their lives, for it was at the pain of death! That is why the West are appeasing the Muslims today, teaching the Islamic faith in their schools, allowing their voices to be heard, whilst shutting down the voice of Christians, ALL out of fear for their lives! That was also how the people were converted to the Islamic faith in the Middle East, and in the whole of North Africa, for that was how they got Islamized! Because the

26 Page 26 religion of the conqueror becomes the religion of the conquered, for they are not given a choice! I am just showing you how the devil used the Hamitic race, being the leading race for every other race in that hour. They were the ones with the mind for science and engineering and architecture, and all that. They also wanted to build a tower to make a name for themselves. And that is always man's desire, for man is always wanting to make a name, so that when they die, they are remembered forever and ever. On the other hand, brothers and sisters, true children of God do not care for that, but care only to be in good standing with their Maker. Period! They just want to live for God, so that when they cross over to the other side, they are found faithful, and also live with their Maker all through eternity. They are not really concerned about what goes on down here, which is why they live in this world as pilgrims, and are not trying to make a name for themselves on this planet. They just want to make a name where it counts, and that is before the throne of God! Halleluiah! I do not need a name down here: I just want to have a name up there where it counts; I want a name up there with Him who is my Creator! Period! God helping me, if that is all I can achieve in this world; if by His grace, I can have a name with Him, I am most content and most happy, for then I am richly blessed! That is all I pray! Church, the Holy Bible testifies inarguably of Nimrod, that the beginning of HIS KINGDOM was Babel, and that settles it! There is no more question or argument! Genesis Chapter 10, verses 8-20 records: And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning (or the starting point) of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and THE CITY Rehoboth, and Calah, And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is A GREAT CITY. And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in THEIR COUNTRIES, and in their nations. Just as the Lord took more time in Genesis Chapter 4, to lay out the carnal earthly accomplishments of the lineage of Cain, (the Cainites, the serpent seeds), people who were the principal vessels of Satan, and through whom the first civilization was established, so also did the Lord take more time in this Genesis Chapter 10, to lay out the lineage of Ham, and their carnal earthly accomplishments; being

27 the principal people whom the devil also used to establish his evil plot in that day, and through whom that civilisation was also established! This is the Bible record, and there can be no denying it as a true believer. Saints, Nimrod was so powerful and influential in that day, so much so that he introduced Idolatry, for he made himself a god, and his mother another god. He raised up temples in his name, and polytheism started in earnest. And since he was the world leader in that day, Idolatry was served to the people, and Satan was now on the throne in the temples of Idols, receiving worship, just as he had wanted to! That is why today, there is Satan worship all over the globe, for that is precisely what Satanists do: They literally worship Lucifer, and it was in the reign of Nimrod, right here in Babylon, where it all started! For from Babylon, Idolatry spread to all other parts of the world. God had to judge Babylon! By the time we come to the prophetic revelation of Jesus Christ recorded in the Book of Revelation Chapter 17, the name Babylon had now taken on a spiritual application, for it speaks of spiritual Babylon, not natural Babylon, but spiritual Babylon, showing that natural Babylon, set a perfect type of spiritual Babylon. This is according to the record of verses 1-2, for natural Babylon set the stage for THE GREAT WHORE that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, (which is spiritual), and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. And just as Nimrod reigned from Babel over the world, verse 18 also declares: And the woman, (which refers to the Roman Catholic Church, having her headquarters in the Vatican City in Rome, which is ruled by Popes), which thou sawest is that great city, WHICH REIGNETH OVER THE KINGS OF THE EARTH. This is a scriptural witness that old Babylon was given to idolatry, so much so, that it set a perfect type of spiritual Babylon. Natural Babylon became an epitome, (a standard) of idolatry, for it typified spiritual Babylon, which is also headed by a man, the Pope, who holds an office Page 27 which also rules the world! This lets you see that Nimrod undoubtedly types the Pope, for he was in the natural, what the Pope is in the spiritual! Nimrod is absolutely the first prototype of The Anti-Christ to come, The man of sin, The son of perdition, who will rule the present day Roman Empire, which is the European Union! Now let me read what William Branham had to say concerning Nimrod and Babylon, in his message titled, The Seven Church Ages, under the sub-title, The Pergamean Church Age. In that message, when Brother Branham was dealing with Satan's Throne and Dwelling Place, beginning from page 18, he declared: Babylon has always been literally and figuratively his headquarters, (referring to Satan). It was in the city of Babylon that SATANIC WORSHIP HAD ITS ORIGIN. Genesis 10:8-10, And Cush begat Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. (We

28 Page 28 will skip to the next paragraph to continue, where Brother Branham said): Babel is the original name for Babylon. It means confusion. It was literally started by Cush, the son of Ham, but was brought to a kingdom of power and grandeur under his son, Nimrod, the mighty hunter. Nimrod, according to the Genesis eleven account and also according to profane history, set out to accomplish three things. He wanted to build a strong nation, which he did. He wanted to propagate his own religion, which he did. He wanted to make a name for himself, which he also accomplished. His accomplishments were so monumental that the kingdom of Babylon was called the head of gold amongst all world governments. (Did you hear that? The prophet was quoting the Book of Daniel which we saw earlier, declaring that even the record of God's written infallible Word lets us know that there is no civilization as great as that of Babylon. It is hard to conceive of it today though, because of what the Hamitic race have now been reduced to. What you see and have always known about the Hamitic race is poverty, famine, corrupt governments, diseases, squalor, a people always needing hand outs and constant bailouts. Are you with me? So it is hard to conceive any other picture of Ham. All we see in the forefront, and as the leaders of the world, and the geniuses, are the race of Japheth, the white race, the people that can solve everything, the people having great minds to do the seemingly impossible, and the leaders of the present 21 Century civilization. Those are the people we can relate to! But as it is written: The just shall live by faith. We can look through the eye of faith, the eye of divine revelation, the window which the Scriptures give us, and see exactly what went on in that day, and how precisely, Satan used the leaders of that civilization, which gives us the Hamitic race. We will skip to the next paragraph to continue, where Brother Branham stated): That his religion gained prominence is proven by the fact that Scripture identifies it with Satan completely in Isaiah Chapter 14, and in Revelation Chapters And by history we can prove that it invaded the whole world, and is the basis for every system of idolatry, and the theme of mythology, though the names of the gods differ in various sections of the land according to the language of the people. That he, (Nimrod), made a name for himself and his followers goes without saying, for as long as this present age goes on (until Jesus reveals Himself to His brethren) he will be worshipped and honored, though under a different name from Nimrod, and in a temple slightly different from the one in which he was originally adored. Since the Bible does not deal in the histories of other nations in detail, it will be necessary to search the ancient profane records to find our answer as to how Pergamos became the seat of the Satanic religion of Babylon. The major sources of information will be in records of Egyptian and Grecian culture. The reason for this is that Egypt received her s c i e n c e a n d

29 mathematics from the Chaldeans, (who are the Babylonians), and in turn Greece received them from Egypt. Now since the priests were in charge of teaching these sciences, and since these sciences were used as a part of religion, (just as the priests of the church of Rome were the teachers, the doctors, and the professors of learning in the colleges in Europe, and throughout the Roman controlled world), we already know the key as to how the Babylonish religion gained its strength in these two countries. It is also true that whenever a nation was able to overcome another nation, in due time the religion of the subduer became the religion of the subdued. It is well known that the Greeks had the very same signs of the Zodiac as did the Babylonians; and it has been found in the ancient Egyptian records that the Egyptians gave the Greeks their knowledge of polytheism. Thus the mysteries of Babylon spread from nation to nation until it appeared in Rome, in China, India; and even in both North and South America, we find the very same basic worship. The ancient histories agree with the Bible that this Babylonish religion was most certainly not the original religion of earth's early peoples. It was the first to drift away from THE ORIGINAL FAITH; but it was not itself the original one. Historians such as Wilkinson and Mallett h a v e p r o v e n conclusively from the ancient documents that at one time all the peoples of the earth believed in ONE GOD, supreme, eternal, invisible, Who by the Word of His mouth spoke all things into existence, and that in His character He was loving and good and just. But as Satan will always corrupt whatever he can, we find him corrupting the minds and hearts of men so that they reject the truth. As he has always attempted to receive worship as though he were God, and not the servant and creation of God, he drew worship away from God to the end that he might draw it unto himself and so be exalted. He Page 29 certainly did accomplish his desire to spread his religion throughout the whole world. (And he accomplished this through the linage of Ham. Let us skip to the next paragraph to conclude our quote, where Brother Branham d e c l a r e d ) : MONOTHEISM TURNED TO POLYTHEISM IN BABYLON. The devil's lie and the devil's mysteries rose up against the truth of God and the mysteries of God in that city. Satan truly became the god of this world and exacted worship from those that he had duped, causing them to believe that he was truly the Lord. And as long as all people think about are the mundane things of the world, having great accomplishments, which are all earthly, acquiring power, fame, and money, the devil has enough of it to make them e a r t h b o u n d. Consequently, it is one thing seeing people with great scientific abilities; great mathematicians and intellectuals, people receiving the Nobel Laureates, business moguls, and all that worldly stuff; people having the world's acclaim; but it is quite another thing to see

30 Page 30 the spirit motivating their lives, for in reality, all these people usually have nothing of God. They know everything about mathematical formulas and principles of finance that will break your head and my head, and how to solve extremely complex equations. They know how to calculate the distance from here to Mars, and also plot the journey to Pluto for the next one hundred years, for they have the mind for those things, Except the mind for their Creator! Think about it, for that is really where it counts: Knowing God! Hence, with all their knowing, and with all their abilities and earthly accomplishments, and as great as it may be, it is only temporal, because it is strictly a carnal one. Yes, they are great men and women of renown, but as usual, they never have ANY RECORD with God. They never have, and they never will have! Church, remember that we are dealing with THE PROSPERITY OF SERPENT SEEDS. So Nimrod was used to introduce Idolatry, and to establish the first civilisation at the beginning of our world, coming out of the flood. And as it is plainly written in the Book of Daniel, no other race could match them in the ability they had, and in the quality of the civilization that they established; but yet, it was Anti-God. It was used to serve the purpose of Satan, Lucifer. That was why, when we consider the building of the Egyptian Pyramids and the Sphinx, yes, they are monumental structures and wonders, even in this modern age. However, the knowledge that produced these things were dark, for it was serious astrology mixed with witchcraft, and the occult, for they went into the depths of Satan. Hence the reason why there is nothing of God in any of those accomplishments, for they are earthly. True prosperity; true success, is far removed from all these temporal things, for true success and prosperity is divine, for it is of God, and as such, it conveys the true knowledge and service of God. Period! Brothers and sisters, I have gone into all that, just also to let you see that the record of God in the Book of Genesis Chapter 10, gives us the leadership role of Ham in establishing the first civilization the earth had, at the beginning of this second world. The first civilization ever to be established on this planet after the flood, was established by the leadership of the Hamitic race. And it was a civilization totally opposed to God, and one which took away true Monotheism, the true knowledge of the One and Only true God, replacing it with Polytheism, which is Idolatry, through which Satan achieved his objective of being worshipped as god. That is precisely why you must agree with me, that the Serpentine traits had to abound more in the Hamitic race born of Noah, than in the Shemitic and Japhethic races, which was why they were the principal vessels of Lucifer in his third move. That is why even the Book of Revelation adopts Babylon as the centre piece of devil worship, for with natural Babylon devil worship started, and is now closing with spiritual Babylon. You have to agree with me on that, for it most certainly speaks of the DNA genetic state of the Hamitic lineage of people in that day! Hence, as is recorded

31 in Genesis Chapter 9, when Ham saw Noah, his father, stark naked on the floor of his tent, in a drunken stupor, and knowing that he was the prophet of God, he made fun of him, rather than cover his father's shame; he found it amusing. And there is nothing amusing about that! On the other hand, and in sharp contrast to him, Shem and Japheth certainly did not find it funny, and their reaction was much different to that of Ham, for with reverence and respect, they went backwards with a piece of cloth, and covered the nakedness of Noah, without seeing it, and without making fun. That in itself, lets us know that there was a moral difference there, when we consider the three sons of Noah, even though they all had serpentine traits in them. It is just like the drunken lifestyle of Noah, which, in comparison with Adam, Seth, Enos, and Enoch, showed that there was a moral difference. These are little keys that unlock the understanding of some things, for God did not allow the record of the Scriptures to be written in a way that makes everything plain to every Tom, Dick, and Harry. However, brothers and sisters, when I consider the disrespect Ham showed towards his father in his naked and drunken state, thank God that Ham was not cursed! Yes, he made fun of his father's nakedness, and as a result, his posterity today are bearing the punishment for that, for here they also stand at the entrance of their doors naked! Think about it! Their children run the streets naked and barefooted! But thank God that Ham was not cursed, although his posterity is definitely bearing the punishment for the indignity he meted out to the prophet of God. Ham was not cursed, and he could not have been cursed, for as we brought out in the Scribe Magazine, it is because HAM IS IN THE COVENANT! Thank God he was not cursed, for IT WAS CANAAN THAT WAS CURSED! And Canaan, who was Ham's fourth son, was the progenitor of the Canaanites, the Girgashites, the warrior Jebusites, the Perizzites, and all the ites whom God instructed the children of Israel to wipe out from the Page 31 Promised Land. Genesis Chapter 9, verses declares: And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed BE CANAAN; (Not cursed be Ham, but cursed be Canaan); a servant of servants shall he be, (thus making Canaan a slave) unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and CANAAN, (Not Ham), shall be his servant. (Canaan shall be the servant or slave of Shem). God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and CANAAN, (Not Ham), shall be his servant. (Canaan shall also be the servant or slave of Shem). Now I ask: Where is the curse placed on Ham here? It exists only in the minds of people, for it was Canaan that was cursed and made a slave to both Shem and Japheth! Yet, this very same passage of Scripture in Genesis Chapter 9, verses 24-27, is precisely what the white race, the Japhetic race, used for many centuries of time to justify the slavery of the black race, who are definitely not

32 Page 32 Canaanites, but Hamitic West Africans, descendants of Cush, the father of Nimrod! Think about it! But let us leave that aside, for we are speaking about THE PROSPERITY OF SERPENT SEEDS. The truth remains, brothers and sisters, that it was not possible for the Hamitic lineage to have served the purpose of the devil in his opposition to God, and not pay a bill. For just as God judged the Cainite lineage expressed in Genesis Chapter 4, the lineage of the serpent seeds, using the flood to wipe them completely out, so also God judged the Hamitic race, and stripped the lineage of the abilities they had, and reduced them to nothing. For it is certain, as we speak today, that there is a human essence, an attribute of human responsibility, which God took out of the gene of the Hamitic race, in order to reverse his leadership position on a permanent basis, making him suffer for the Idolatry he introduced to the world, and the removal of Monotheism. For just as he was used to remove the knowledge of the One true God, the Lord God also touched his natural ability, and put him behind every other race, and at the very bottom of the human ladder! It is just like when the serpent caused the fall of man, and God also stripped him completely of his leadership position over the entire animal kingdom, by stripping him of every attribute that made him the head of the animal kingdom in the first place, putting him at the very bottom of the ladder of beasts, placing him right down in the dust of the earth, to crawl as a new species of snake! You cannot dance with the devil and win! For before the serpent's judgment, and as we saw in our last meeting, he had such great abilities, for he was standing perfectly upright in physique, walking and talking just like a man, the highest class of animal species ever to have existed on this planet, for he gives us the prehistoric man, who was part of the animal kingdom, but at its head! Adam also paid his own share of the bill, with all the heartache, the endless and near fruitless toils, and the misery he faced on earth till he died. His race are still paying for the fall as we speak! Saints, make no mistake about this: No man or woman, and No group, nation, or race of people, can be used to move Satan's plan forward, and not pay a bill for it, regardless of their accomplishments, or perceived success or prosperity; for all that is only carnal, being earthly, and hence, temporal! Yes! God has always judged every civilization, for it is not of God but of the devil, which is why it is of men, under the leadership of the prince of this world, which is Lucifer! Hence, at the temptation of Jesus Christ, Satan offered him the rulership of the whole world, its power, fame, and money, but the Lord rejected it outright, as is recorded in the Gospel of Saint Luke Chapter 4, verses 5-8: And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. IF THOU THEREFORE

33 WILT WORSHIP ME, ALL SHALL BE THINE. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Amen! Brothers and sisters, let me confess to you, that before God opened up the truth to me, of the reason for the travails of the Hamitic race, which we put out in the Scribe, titled, Genesis: The Travails of Ham, giving me the revelation of why the Hamitic race, the black race, is in the sad political, social, and economic state they are in, I cried many times, seeing the pitiable conditions of my people, particularly when I see the poverty and misery of the Africans on CNN or BBC, calling for continual Aid for Africa. I wondered why. With all the enormous mineral, natural, material, and human resources we have in Africa, I always wondered why we are so poor and underdeveloped till this very day! There are no good roads; no constant running water; no constant electricity; no decent housing for the people; and no meaningful town planning, for it is all slums all over the vast Continent, compared with the West; and with very corrupt, extremely greedy, pathologically selfish political leaders, who can never have enough, and who have no vision of any sort, to transform Africa into a beautiful Continent of envy, with all the wealth the Continent has! And neither do these leaders care a dime for Africa's true development, except to loot her treasury, without any prick of conscience, and with godless audacity, year-in and year-out, whatever the government, mortgaging the development of their people, all out of gross selfishness and unbridled greed! They do not care for anyone but their families and their political cronies! No, they don't! Leadership is what made Dubai what it is now, for with good leadership, a desert land was transformed into an oasis! The same goes for Qatar, Saudi Arabia, etc. African leaders are something else! You have to agree with me, saints, that God took something from the race of Ham, something that he had back there in his DNA, in that civilization, A Human Essence is what I call it, AN ATTRIBUTE OF H U M A N Page 33 RESPONSIBILITY, was stripped from their DNA, which makes them bound in this pathetic state, although not in spiritual terms. And irrespective of the natural wealth and material resources and endowment in Africa, I cannot see anything changing any time soon! Only in the Millennium is it going to change! Even the development that we have in South Africa, making it look like the Western world, is solely because of the white race who are there, and who transformed it into what it is! But now that the children of Ham are in charge, characteristically, everything is now falling apart! The Postal system is in a bad shape; refuse collection is now erratic, and garbage litters the place; and even electricity is no longer constant in South Africa. Thanks to the Presidency of Jacob Zuma! Unfortunately, that is typically Hamitic! Nevertheless, I cried, wondering, why are we like this, poor and backward! Moreover, we are hated by all other races, and are looked down upon, downtrodden, and despised! In England in the United Kingdom in those days, for those looking for accommodation, the sign

34 Page 34 usually read: No Irish; No Dogs; No Blacks, for even dogs were regarded above the children of Ham, one of the three sons of Noah, and the immediate junior brother to Japheth! My! Church, all I could ask, on account of our pathetic state, was why? I knew that the answer had to be in the Holy Bible somewhere, for if we would only allow the Spirit of God to speak to us through it, it has the answer to ALL men's questions, for it is absolutely sufficient. I prayed a lot about it, for my heart bled for my people, the children of Ham, seeing that their condition is the same everywhere, from Africa, to Indonesia, to the West Indies. Then one day, the Lord in His mercy opened my eyes to the hidden truth, and I could not wait for the church doors to open, and I took that message, Genesis: The Travails Of Ham, which we now have in the Scribe. The Lord helped me to see that it is divine judgment, because Ham was used by the devil to introduce Idolatry to the world, and he led the world in establishing Satan's objective on this planet, bringing Satan worship. Church, you cannot imagine how happy I was when I received that revelation, and the peace it brought to my heart, particularly, knowing that that judgment has nothing to do with God's plan of salvation, for in this regard, and as it is written in the Book of Romans Chapter 3, verse 23: ALL HAVE SINNED, AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD! Then a number of years after we had published the Scribe on this issue, I was just reading The Seven Church Ages message which Brother Branham preached, only to come across the same revelation concerning Ham's role in introducing Idolatry to the world! Saints, I was on cloud nine, for indeed, the Spirit of God is one! Yet, when I came newly into this message, I had read that very book without seeing this issue, for God has a way of putting a veil on something, till the appointed time. And truly, we read some things sometimes that do not have any meaning to us at the time, and we even forget that we had ever read it, because at that material time when we read it, it had no application and no meaning, and neither did it stay in our memory in any measure. When God wiped out the world in Noah's day, and started afresh, another civilization was set in motion. And that civilization was carried on to Egypt, for the Egyptians are part of that Hamitic race, being Africans. And you must see that they also still formed part of that Hamitic leadership. Are you with me? That is why in those days, way back then in the days of Hamitic leadership, all roads led to Africa. They came to Cairo in Egypt to study in their Universities. From Europe and from all over this world, they came to learn sciences and mathematics and medicine in Alexandria, Egypt, in the land OF HAM. With all their knowledge of chemistry, and the sending of shuttles to mars, they cannot do what those old scientists could do, even though things have changed for the Hamitic race. Exactly! The archaeological evidence being unearthed today, is solid proof of an era of time gone by, a civilization which God has wiped out, for God was not in that civilization. It was a civilization through which Polytheism, which is Idolatry, was introduced, taking out the knowledge of the God of ALL Creation. One man, Nimrod, made himself so great, until he made himself to be the son of God. He was turned into a god, along with his

35 mother, Semiramis, who is called by different names, like Diana, and worshipped around the world. Cush was also worshipped as god, called the father god, making Nimrod, his son, to be presented as the son of god. This gave the world the idolatrous father and son worship, along with the worship of the mother and child. This also paved the way for the modern day worship of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, whom the Church of Rome has given over one billion Roman Catholics to worship around the world! She is referred to as the Queen of Heaven, Mediatrix, Mother of God, and all such blasphemous titles, all which they have given to her. Brothers and sisters, the Hamitic race was the race the devil used to introduce idolatry, which is why we Africans, the lineage of Ham, are paying the price we are paying today. But thank God for Jesus Christ, through whom grace and truth for redemption came to the entire earth, to as many as will dare believe. So their civilization looked great in that day, and everything looked very wonderful, and they looked very prosperous; but with all that knowledge and worldly accomplishments, look where we are today? for it was nothing but vanity upon vanity! God judged the race of Ham for shutting out the knowledge of their Creator. They established a great civilization, but it was directly opposed to God, for God was not honoured in it, but rather, His knowledge was taken out. And what a shame that God's creatures would forget and reject their Maker! That is why God had to bring it to a close, just as He had done to the civilization before the flood. It is written in Psalm 9, verse 17: The wicked shall be turned into hell, AND ALL THE NATIONS THAT FORGET GOD. Brothers and sisters, I wish to re-emphasis, (for it is very crucial that we do not lose sight of it), that the very fact that Almighty God testified to Daniel concerning the Four Beast Empires, that there will be no Empire as great as Babylon, lets us know that every subsequent Empire was inferior, regardless of their accomplishments on this earth. How many believe the testimony of God? For subsequent Empires gives us the reduction in quality and in worth: Because gold is more superior to any of the Page 35 other metals in this image, whether it is silver, brass or iron. With the progression of time, every subsequent Empire got more inferior to the one preceding it. In what way you ask? That is what I want to emphasize, as we bring our message to a close. The Babylonian Empire was more humane, even with all the evil that was carried on in it, and inspite of the degeneration that existed in it; for in comparison, it was still more humane, more virtuous, than the Medo- Persian Empire, and certainly more virtuous than the subsequent two Empires, which are the Empires of Greece and Rome, respectively. Consequently, consistent degeneration was coming to humanity, and hence into the human society, as their genetic quality got worse and worse with each passing day, making those empires in turn, worse and worse. With each successive Empire, the nature of man, and the attitude of man, particularly as inspired by its leadership, was getting baser and baser, until today, our leaders can stand before the Nation and the whole world, and lie flat out, without blinking an eyelid, simply because

36 Page 36 they are not leaders of honour and integrity. Whereas in those days, leaders considered their words as their bond. And although we also had vile leaders in the world back then, it was still different, for in the main, they valued honour! With all the godlessness that went on, they still had honour, that once it was the king's word, it could not be broken! It is not so with these modern day leaders, who lack honour! Did they not catch Bill Clinton with another woman, Monica Lewinsky, and he looked at the woman in the face, and said something which amounts to this: I do not know this woman. And he had been sleeping with her! That is the kind of leadership we have today at this end time; leaders who lack honour and integrity. Yes, every last kingdom here is of the devil; but do not also forget that God still rules the affairs of men, and He still works through the various kingdoms, because God's plan and purpose is still carried on regardless of the spiritual state of things on earth. This is so, because God has His seeds in all these kingdoms, ALL THROUGH TIME, and the will of God is still being established within the confines of the various kingdoms. Therefore, God does not say: Well, it is Satan's kingdom. I will just fold my arms and watch, and simply allow him to rock and roll. Despite everything going on in the earth, God has a plan of redemption for His elect seeds, and as such, He still has to work upon their lives in preparation for eternity, which is precisely why He watches over everything, and even sets the parametres of how far Satan can go! So please understand that however evil the kingdoms were, and however much they were ruled by Satan, God's objective was still carried through, because God is sovereign, and as a matter of fact, the Lord sets the limits for the operation of Satan on this earth, just as I stated earlier! Therefore, brothers and sisters, I want to re-emphasize tonight, that when we consider the other three Empires, particularly when we come to the last one, which is the Roman Beast Empire, as it exists in its end time restored geographical entity called the European Union, and which gives us the ten toes on the legs of the image of Daniel, and which corresponds to the ten horns, the Empire where we will finish out this message, God looked at it, and indirectly called it the MOST INFERIOR. What makes it that inferior? That is what we want to see in the next segment of this message, which is the final segment. Brothers and sisters, I am just making a point, that the kingdom of Babylon was characterized by God as the head of gold. God's testimony says infallibly in Daniel Chapter 2, verses 37-39: Thou, O king (Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon), art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this HEAD OF GOLD. And after thee shall arise another kingdom INFERIOR TO THEE, (which is made OF SILVER, which is Medes and Persia), and another third kingdom OF BRASS, (which is Greece), which shall bear rule over all the earth. Now watch the fourth and last kingdom, for

37 it is the basest of the four, as verse 40 declares: And the fourth kingdom (which is Rome) shall be strong AS IRON: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, SHALL IT BREAK IN PIECES AND BRUISE. Think about it, for the crushing power of the church of Rome has been demonstrated in the dark ages, and that evil power will still be re-expressed at this end time! Remember that although iron is the basest of the metals, on the other hand, it is the hardest of the four, for their hardness is expressed in reverse: Iron is harder than brass; brass is harder than silver, and silver is harder than gold, for of all four metals, gold is the softest, and the one with the greatest value. Think about the implication of iron, and its comparison with the softness of gold! In Daniel Chapter 7, look at how this iron attribute is expressed in verse 7: After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, DREADFUL and TERRIBLE, and STRONG exceedingly; and it had great IRON TEETH: IT DEVOURED AND BRAKE IN PIECES, AND STAMPED THE RESIDUE WITH THE FEET OF IT: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. My! What a Beast! Church, the Roman Beast Empire, which starts with two legs of solid hard iron, now in the days of its toes, has even lost the strength of its metal, for now, it is partly iron and partly Potters' CLAY! That just shows you the depth to which its government has sunk, and correlatively, the depth to which its humanity have sunk. You are looking at the lowest class of humanity ever! It gives us the lowest class of humanity existing on the planet right now. Watch when I take the next part of this message, which is its concluding segment. Saints of the living God, the lowest class of human beings ever to walk this planet is what you see around you today. Humanity has never been as decadent; never been as degenerate! You now have the lowest class of humanity on this earth. Since God put Adam and Eve here, you have never had any class of humanity as degenerate and as low as this age! Let me leave that for when we get there. So, brothers and sisters, when you look at the testimony of God, the head Page 37 of gold was still humane, for gold is soft metal. It was a humane government; it still had human virtue, which was a standard that other beast empires never attained, because they sunk lower and lower in quality, in their society. The human society just gets worse and worse, with the passage of time. Like Brother Jackson would say, it was getting worser and worser. Praise the Lord! But, brothers and sisters, something happened. We will not read it tonight, but I still have to mention it, even if I have to close with its thought, and you had better pay attention. In the days of the head of gold of Babylon, do you know that there was an image set up? There was an idolatrous image that was set up, according to Daniel Chapter 3, an image that was used to bind all the peoples of this earth together in idolatrous worship, an image which King Nebuchadnezzar set up, and everybody was forced to bow and worship it. A unity of religion was established, a false unity, and this forced the three Hebrew children, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, to say: No, we will not bow or worship the golden image. We will not join in this evil unity. When

38 Page 38 the king heard about their stand against his iniquitous decree to bow to idolatry, he was mad, more particularly as he was the one who promoted the three men to their positions in his Empire. He was mad! He said, Maybe they are doing that because they are not in my presence. Go and bring them now, and let me see if they will not bow when they are in my presence. Leaders of this world really think that they are something! They really think that they can enact laws and issue decrees as they like, however godless, and however anti-god, and however anti the Word of God it may be, and they really expect that the true children of God will bow to their iniquitous and abominable decrees and laws! Mistake! It is not God's children, who are ready to have their bodies burnt, so that they may obtain a better resurrection, that any government on this earth can threaten with any iniquitous law or decree! Forget it! True believers are law abiding citizens, and as such, we do not join demonstrations, and neither do we go on riots, for we leave the children of this world to fight for their world. We are strangers and pilgrims here, for we are citizens of heaven above; and as such, we do not fight for this world, for this world is not our home. Whilst here, we are law abiding people. However, if any law or decree of man, runs contrary to the laws of God, make no mistake about it: WE WILL DEFY ANY SUCH LAWS AND I T S I S S U I N G GOVERNMENT! Yet, we will do it without any acts of violence or demonstration, for that is not our manner of life. We will simply not obey and let the law do its worst, even if it means death, because we know that we will rise in the resurrection morning! We fear only God, who not only can kill the body, but can also destroy the soul in hell! We do not fear man, who, after he might have killed us, can do no more! For as Apostle Peter and the other apostles answered the Sanhedrin Council in that day, as recorded in Acts Chapter 5, verse 29: WE OUGHT TO OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MEN! P e r i o d! K i n g Nebuchadnezzar called for them, and the king sat in all his glory, with all his royal train, military generals, and fearsome looking soldiers all standing on guard around him, and with his counselors and ministers, and his impressive display of pomp and pageantry that will make carnal men afraid. Oh, my! When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego got there, the king asked them: Is it true that you refused to bow down to the image I set up? He said, Now, I want to see you refuse to bow. Do you know what those three faith children said: We are not going to be careful to answer you in this matter, even though ordinarily, we would have come to you with fear and respect. In other words, You just lost your respect, O king, because now, you have intruded into the territory of God, and you are defying our God. And when it comes to our God, we care less for man, any man! And as such, WE DEFY YOU! DO YOUR WORST, AND MAKE US MARTYRS! Brothers and sisters, they told that man the home truth! That king was so mad, that he asked his guards to increase the intensity of the burning fire seven times more, and its consuming strength was multiplied seven times. But what was on trial? It was not Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego: It was the Word of God that was on trial! They did not bow, because the Bible says: Do not bow yourselves to any graven image, and do

39 not worship it! It was the Word of God that was on trial, and not the three Hebrew children! May I also say this, brothers and sisters, that an image is being set up today too, for just as the first beast empire had an image, the fourth and last beast empire also has an image. No, this image has not yet started to speak; but there is going to come a time when the image will also speak, and it will unleash serious persecution against the true seeds of God, just as Cain, the seed of the serpent, persecuted and also killed Abel, the seed of God, for his righteous principles. It is the enmity at work, the enmity which God said would exist between the seeds of the serpent, and the seeds of God. Saints, in Babylon in that day, a natural image was set up. Now tonight, we are coming to a spiritual image, established in spiritual Babylon at this end time, unleashing the fury of Iron Rome that crushes and stamps out anything and everything, being the hardest and most brutal of the four metals. There was an image set up in the first civilization which was established at the very beginning of this second world, and now, we are also speaking of an image in the last civilization of man, an image that has been set up in the fourth and last civilization, although it has not yet started to speak. This lets us understand, that as God has an objective He wants to fulfill, Satan also has his objective which He also wants to accomplish. Everything is going on, and prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes, and things around the world are unfolding, setting the required stage, right before our eyes; but what do you see? How do you look at the things happening today around the world? Brothers and sisters, the image was set up in Daniel Chapter 3. And if there is anybody who does not know about it, please go and read it. For it gives us the end of the Babylonian Empire. An empire that reached its peak of power and grandeur, that by the time it came to the hour of Belshazzar, the great kingdom had now lost its loftiness, and had degenerated in its quality, to one given to lust and merry making. That is the picture Daniel paints in Chapter 7, verses 3-4, which states: And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first Page 39 was like a lion, and had eagle's wings, (which was the Babylonian Beast Empire in its height of glory and splendour): I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and A MAN'S HEART WAS GIVEN TO IT. This speaks of a fall in the glory and quality of that empire. Saints, by the time we come to Chapter 5, Belshazzar, a man given to merry making, made a feast, and then he went into sacrilege with it, for he committed an abominable act. He spat in the face of God, because he thought he was something, and that he could show God that he did not believe in Him or fear Him. After all, he was the king of the World Empire, and his word was law throughout the earth! He sent for the vessels that they had carried away from the temple of God in Jerusalem, when they destroyed Jerusalem, and he used it in merriment. They carried the vessels from inside the sanctuary in the temple, and carried them away to Babylon, and God allowed it. But now, at the height of his government, Belshazzar, just like Barak Obama, felt he was so great that he could touch the things of

40 Page 40 God. He thought to himself: I am the greatest man on this planet; I am so great, that there is nothing that I cannot do, and nobody can challenge me. I can do anything, and I am going to change the application of some things, and I will be remembered in history as the man who brought that change. Who is like me? What I like, I do. What next? Bring those vessels of the God of Israel, and let us desecrate them, for they are nothing but myths. These deceived and rebellious people; they never want to obey our laws, because of the Torah, which they call the Word of God. And it is not even a civilized Book to begin with! Bring the vessels we took from the temple in Jerusalem, and let us have some fun with them! Even I am a god. We are no longer in the dark ages. We are a civilized people. I say all that because that is exactly how the heart of these modern day Western leaders function! They really think that they are above the Word of God, and that they can do with God's children and God's Word, whatsoever they like! They brought the vessels that were reserved exclusively for the service of the God of Creation, and the man started drinking wine, beer, and vodka with it, with all his concubines, and they were making jest. Brothers and sisters, the God of heaven was mad, and God sent His angel: Go down and tell him that his time and that of his kingdom is up. Here came a visible hand with an invisible body, writing conspicuously and legibly on the wall of the palace, in coded language. The king saw the hand as it wrote: It began to write on the wall, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. Wow! The cup in the hand of the king fell, and the king began to quake, for his drunkenness disappeared! Brothers and sisters, he wanted to know the meaning which no soothsayer, astrologer, magician, or psychic medium could decode, and eventually they brought in Daniel, because it always takes a spiritual man to interpret divine things. Before Daniel came, God had dealt with him in a divine revelation. Hence when he stood before the king, he was already loaded with divine matter; he was loaded with a message from God. We will read it because it is most instructive, particularly in evil times like these. In Daniel Chapter 5, verses 18-28, it is written: O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: And for the majesty that He gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down. But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will. And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this; But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou

41 hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified: Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. He just told him straight: Today, your kingdom is over. God has given it to another one. Verses concludes: In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old. It is good for kings and presidents not to meddle with the things of God, and to live in the fear of the Holy One of Israel, whose name is Jehovah! However, do not forget that this new kingdom, the Empire of Medes and Persia, will be an inferior one, for it was represented with silver. Unknown to Belshazzar, the Medo- Persian soldiers were already digging a tunnel under the great wall of Babylon, a wall that secured them from invasion. They were already crawling in like soldier ants, and the army had already surrounded the city, whilst they were still enjoying vodka and cognac. That very night, Babylon fell, and the Medo- Persian Empire took over. But it was an inferior Empire to the Babylonian Empire. Brothers and sisters, we are not interested in considering the Medo-Persian Empire, nor the Grecian Empire. It is the fourth and last beast empire that we are interested in, for we want to see the last civilization of serpent seeds, and that is none other than the Roman Beast Empire. Do not forget the title of our message: THE PROSPERITY OF SERPENT SEEDS. We have just one or two more things to touch and we will close, to continue tomorrow by the grace of God. Come back with me to Daniel Chapter 2, and we will take it from verses 41-43: And whereas thou Page 41 sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. (Listen to what verse 43 now says): And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, THEY SHALL MINGLE THEMSELVES WITH THE SEED OF MEN: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. This prophecy lets us know that the ten toes, which correspond to the ten horns of Europe, the ten nations of Europe, will seek to intermarry with one another, or as the Scripture states here, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men, as a way of forming another Beast Empire for themselves, but it shall not work, for as it is written: But they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. This is so, because the Lord God of heaven and earth has ordained that there will be no other Beast Empire after Rome, for it

42 Page 42 will be the fourth and last Beast Empire ever to be established on this planet. It will give the world the very last civilization. The prophecy shows us that they will still try to create their own Empire, nevertheless, but it will fail. That was why Adolf Hitler of Germany was destined to fail, however close he may have come to winning the Second World War. However, it is the issue of the mingling of themselves with the seed of men that I want you to see, for the ten horns intermarried a lot with each other, and we are speaking about the royal families of these ten horns, the ten national kingdoms of Europe. Look at it for instance, do you know and this is a fact, that the Queen of England has German origins, especially Queen Victoria's lineage? She was Hanoverian, and her husband, Prince Albert, was also a German prince, Wettin, the son of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. How they came into succession of the British throne is another matter. When the First World War came, and 24 German Gotha warplanes bombed London, and it created serious anti Germany sentiments in the United Kingdom, they realized that they had to drop their German name, and distance themselves immediately from Germany, and adopt a full English name, in order to show the British public that they were no longer German, but British. Therefore, they adopted the name Windsor, thus creating the House of Windsor. Brothers and sisters, many times the British royals and their children married from Germany, Russia, Denmark, French, etc. Are you with me? Their seeds mingled. They did that in order to establish a kingdom, just like Rome, but they could not succeed, because God determined that the fourth and final empire that would be established on this earth, would be the Roman Empire. For many centuries they fought one another, in their bid to establish another empire, but it failed. This was after the crumbling of the Old Roman Empire, for the ten horns or the ten major nations of Europe, were formed from the breakdown of the Roman Empire, when Rome lost its power and influence. These horns or nations began to pull away from Rome, and were establishing their autonomy, and they began to carve out themselves as independent nations, for they were all originally part and parcel of the geographic areas covered by Rome, and as part and parcel of the Roman Empire, Pagan Rome. That is why at this end time, it is the ten horns or the ten nations of Europe that give us the Roman Empire, because they are the reconstituted or the a m a l g a m a t e d geographical areas that make up the Old Roman Empire. The Roman Empire in its breakdown, produced these ten distinct horns. And so, the regathering and the putting together of the ten horns, gives us back the restoring of old Rome, in its reconstituted geographical entity, called the European Union. Brothers and sisters, as I stated earlier, each of these horns tried through war, and also through marriage alliances, intermingling with one another, as a means of trying to use that alliance to establish a kingdom, but it all failed. For the Word of God declares that they will not be able to do it, because the last Beast Empire that God allows Satan to establish on this earth, is the Roman Empire. This is precisely where all the moves of

43 Satan ends, in trying to establish his own kingdom on earth. That should let you see that God sets the stage and the pace; He sets the boundary of precisely what Satan can do. The last civilization Satan will be allowed to establish on this planet is Rome. End of story! Rome is precisely where his cards run out, for immediately after Rome, it is going to be God's kingdom on earth. And it is the coming of that divine kingdom that brings a total, complete, and permanent end to ALL civilizations of men, for they are all Satan's civilizations. Rome is where the Moves of Satan's ambitions ends. Hence in the final analysis, it is written in Daniel Chapter 2, verses 44-45: And in the days of these kings, (the ten horns of Europe), shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, (which is the Millennial Kingdom), which shall NEVER be destroyed, (unlike all other kingdoms, because it is divine, for it is God's own Kingdom): and the kingdom shall not be left to other people (to rule over), but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that THE STONE was cut out of the mountain without hands, (which is Jesus Christ, the coming King of kings and Lord of lords, God's divine stone), and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold, (bringing a complete and permanent end to all these beast empires, man's k i n g d o m s a n d civilizations); 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. It gives us the kingdom of Christ and his Bride. Glory to God! It is our kingdom that is next, and it is a divine kingdom, GOD'S OWN KINGDOM, a Theocratic Government. Amen! Saints of God, the very first civilization that was established on this planet, was in the first world, and it was established by the seeds of the SERPENT, as recorded in Genesis Chapter 4, which was before the flood, coming out of the Garden of Eden. God destroyed it with the flood, and started afresh, for it brought a very new beginning. And right after the flood, at the beginning of the second world, this world, a new civilization was also established, and it Page 43 was by the lineage of HAM, which gives us Babylon. And just as God destroyed the first one, God also destroyed this new civilization. Many others were established along the way right after that, but we are faced with the very last civilization ever to be established upon this planet, one which God will also similarly destroy completely and thoroughly. It gives us the Roman Beast Empire, the Empire of Rome at the end time, in the days of the ten toes, or the ten horns of Europe, which is the present day European Union. Brethren, the last civilization the earth will have, is what it has now, and it was established by the lineage of JAPHETH. I will finish my message tomorrow, but I want you all to understand, that all that I have shared so far, is only leading to this final one, this final civilization. (Brother Amos points to the chart). All we have laid out is to show you a pattern which leads to here, at the end. (Brother Amos points to the chart). Because this is exactly where everything comes to it head; it comes to its head in the civilization you are now living in, for it is the very last one. And as regards to Satan's objective, this is where it all ends, and it is therefore

44 Page 44 very important that you understand something. Open your eyes, for something is going on. Whatever Satan started in Genesis, this is where it comes to its head; its completion; its fruition. And what God also started in Genesis, this is also where it comes to its head; its fruition; although God is one step ahead of Satan, and it is certain that the days of Satan are now numbered. We are the elect bride of Christ, a people following God in a divine revelation of His Son, Jesus Christ, and as such, the Spirit of the Lord is g i v i n g u s a n understanding, to help us to know precisely how to look at the world we are now living in, and what is going on out there. Church, let me tell you tonight, you have nothing to worry about. Just have faith in God, and stay in the light of the Holy Scriptures of Truth, for we serve a Faithful God. When it is all said and done, the Word of God is what will have the final say, for God will have the last say, and the bride will have the last laugh. That is certain, for as John Huss of Bohemia often stated: TRUTH CONQUERS ALL. And as John Wycliffe also declared: I BELIEVE THAT IN THE END TRUTH WILL CONQUER. Saints of the living God, when you look at this first civilization at the beginning of the second world, right after the flood, the civilization of Ham, it had its greatness and its glory, but it was a carnal glory. (Brother Amos points to the chart). There was a worldly knowledge that they had, of science, of engineering, and everything, and they were able to unite the world against God. God had to come down with His angels to stop them. That was how great they were. Now look at this last civilization, which is by Japheth. (Brother Amos points to the chart). It is indeed a very great civilization. The first civilization in this second world was by Ham, for it was established by the leadership of Ham. The last civilization on this planet in this second world is by Japheth, for it was established by the leadership of Japheth, the Japhetic race, the white race. Now pay attention now. I am going to make some points, and literally close. But as I now close, I want to show you exactly where I am going. I will say this tonight, and please hear me loud and clear, and I say it because it is the absolute truth: The Japhetic race, which is the white race, today, at this end time, is exactly in the shoe of the Hamitic race way back there in Genesis Chapter 11. I want that to sink in, for we must know how to look at something. The Japhetic race, the white race, tonight, in 2014, is in the very shoe of the Hamitic race, way back there in Genesis Chapter 11. For just as the Hamitic race led the world in that civilization, and ruled it, so is the Japhetic race doing today. Tonight, the Japhetic race is in the very shoe of the Hamitic race, way back in Genesis. Listen attentively church: For as the lineage of Ham was the major vessel Satan used in that day, today at this end time, the Japhetic race is his major vessel! The lineage of Japheth is the leading race, and the principal tool of Lucifer, in accomplishing his end time objective, an objective that has taken him the entire duration of man's existence on earth to achieve! I repeat, and please catch it: Tonight, the race of Japheth is in the very shoe of the race of Ham in the beginning: Because Ham was the race, the principal race, and the principal tool of Lucifer, in establishing Satan's objective and

45 civilization at the beginning of this second world. But tonight, the Japhetic race, is the principal race that Satan is using, in establishing his objective and civilization at the ending of this second world, and it is obvious, that they have more of the serpentine nature at this end time, over and above any and every other race of people on God's green earth today. That is precisely why I do not care for any man's colour or race! All that means absolutely nothing to me! Above every skin colour and race, and more than any skin colour and race, I see a revelation, the divine revelation of Jesus Christ of the Bible, and that is all I care about, because it is the revelation of life eternal. Brothers and sisters, by the grace of Almighty God, and by the revelation which the Spirit of God gives, I can see exactly what Satan is using the Japhetic race to accomplish at this end time. And that is precisely what I want to show you, for that is precisely why I am taking this message in the first place. So let me warn you very seriously, and I say this in love to our precious brothers and sisters from the lineage of Japheth: You must humble yourselves to the absolute rulership of the Scriptures, because something extremely sinister and very serious is going on today in the earth, and you had better run for, and hide in THE SECRET PLACE of the Most High, which is in the Revealed TRUTH of Jesus Christ! For there is nothing to be proud of about in that race, or in any other race for that matter, for all that you see today, the accomplishments that forms the basis of their pride and ego, are ALL Page 45 carnal, and its glory is fading away, for as it is written: ALL FLESH IS GRASS. As such, we are implored in 2 Corinthians Chapter 10, verse17: But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. Satan has taken over the white race, and now today, they are the principal vessels of Lucifer. And there is only one reason for that choice, and it is simply because of all races on this earth today, Satan knows that they have more serpentine attributes in their DNA genes, more than the Hamitic or any other race that he can use. We will see it in these meetings, for I intend to continue tomorrow by the grace of God. I am showing you THE PROSPERITY OF SERPENT SEEDS. Let us bow our heads in prayer. (Brother Amos prayed).
