REMEMBER LOT S WIFE - PART 1

1 April 2017 REMEMBER LOT S WIFE - PART 1 Amos Olusegun Omoboriowo This message was preached by Brother Amos, on Tuesday, 21st February 2017, at Bible Faith Tabernacle, Lagos, Nigeria. It is a two-part message with a very serious warning, a plea, which we need to remember as we strive to follow continuity, and be totally led by the Spirit of God. Good evening Church, and may God bless you. It is good to have some of our brethren online: May God bless them all. We trust that the Lord will give us a good connection tonight, and may God meet with you in a special way. I thank God for the successful Service of Songs we had yesterday evening for our departed brother, Brother Samuel Chukwunweike, and I appreciate all our brethren who were able to make it. We just thank God that everything went well, and we give God all the glory, and may God bless His people. We are praying for the burials we have this week, and may God bless all the arrangements, and supply every need; may He meet with His people, and be glorified in everything. Amen. Shall we bow our heads in prayer. (Brother Amos prayed). Brothers and sisters, yesterday we went for the Wake Keeping Service of Brother Samuel, a gallant brother. It was nice to hear the various testimonies of brethren concerning him. We were told that if he knows that you are someone who is not serious about the truth, that you Ref. No.:

2 Page 2 February 2017 want to be playing games with the Word of Truth, he does not have time for you, for he is just given over to the Word of God. It is good to hear things like that, and it shows the premium that our brother placed on the Word of truth. Indeed, we do not play with the truth of God, because it is Eternal Life, for that is why Christ died, and hence, it is not a game. I was asking his wife, Sister Ngozi, about her testimony concerning the death, and she said it was a dream that she had. You know he passed away on the 4th of February 2017, late Friday, cum early Saturday morning. Then that Saturday night, she was just crying profusely, and then he came to her in the dream, as she was in her shop. He was fully dressed in his wedding suit, looking very lovely, much younger and handsome, and the grey hair on his head were all gone. He asked her to take a walk with him, and he took her by the hand, and they started walking down the road. But at every turn as they were going, neighbours were saying to her, Sorry o Please take heart. Brother Samuel was astonished and he asked, Why are they saying sorry? Why are they greeting you like that? She replied, Do you not know that you are dead? So, she narrated to him, how he had died. He replied her, firmly saying: No, I am not dead. Is this not me? I am not dead. So, tell them to stop saying sorry, and tell them that I am not dead. This is me walking with you up and down, because I am not dead. Then she told him, If you are not dead, then let us go home. Both of them now left the shop and walked down to the house, and as she opened the door, and looked back, he was gone. She cried out so loudly, that the sisters that were sleeping with her that night, keeping her company, rushed to her side, and hugged her, and asked her what the matter was. And you know, one day they asked Jesus Christ, wanting to ensnare him, saying, Master, a man died childless having married a woman. According to the law of Moses, when a man marries and dies childless, his brother takes his wife, to raise children in his name after him. So, the second brother had the woman, but also had no issue, and he died. Then the third brother did the same, and died childless, and likewise the fourth, and then the fifth, right up to the seventh brother; they all had the woman, but all died childless. Finally, the woman also died. So, in the resurrection, whose wife will this woman be, seeing that all seven brothers have had this woman, and were all childless? You will find this account in the Gospel of Saint Matthew Chapter 22, verses Jesus said to them, You err, because you have no understanding of the Word of Truth. You have no revelation of anything. Come with me, and we will take it from verse 29: Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and

3 April 2017 the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, BUT OF THE LIVING. I love the way Saint Luke put it in his account in Chapter 20, verses 27-38, because it is more detailed; and I love the very poignant (striking) conclusion he gave, which we will take from verse 34: And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: FOR ALL LIVE UNTO HIM. Amen! Saints, our God is not the God of the dead; He is the God of the living, for unto God, Abraham liveth! They just move from this dimension to another dimension, and hence, they are alive in the other dimension, and we will see our brother in the morning, and that is just a few days down the road! And the beauty of it, brothers and sisters, like I was telling the saints yesterday, during my short sermon at the Service of Songs, is that Brother Samuel went to the grave with the revelation of the three steps into the rapture. He went to the grave with the revelation of the immortality that we are all waiting for, the divine revelation of precisely how immortality will come, how we will receive our body change! And a lot of people do not have a clue to this great truth, but yet, they go to Church believing in the resurrection, carrying a Bible to which they are strangers, for they have no revelation of anything! They are estranged to the Bible they carry, as a dog is to the actual Bible, and I say that with humility and respect, because we are nothing in ourselves; it is all by the grace of God that we are what we are; but the truth remains that they are Page 3 strangers to the revelation of the Word of God! Yet, they believe in Jesus Christ, for they are followers of Jesus, but they are as blind as bats to the truths of the same Jesus! And yet, Jesus declared plainly and categorically: Whoever walks with me, whoever truly walks with me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12). They are walking in gross palpable darkness, and yet, they say that they are walking with the Lord Jesus. My, oh my! Somebody is deceived, grossly deceived! How we thank God for His marvellous grace in our lives that makes the difference! Thank God for the beautiful light of Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible, that is shining forth at this evening time! Amen! So, we thank God for our brother; we thank God for the short life that he had, for God gave him to us for these few days, and God has called him home. May his gentle and gallant soul rest in peace. Amen! I remember the day he came to see me in the Church office, to relate a dream that he had had, which pointed

4 Page 4 April 2017 to this way, whilst he was still in his former Church, called Present Truth Assembly, Orile-Lagos. I asked him to write it for me, and he did. He dreamt of a gathering of many people, and as he was walking past them, he saw in their midst, a Bright Sparkling White Cake at the centre. He asked the people to cut the cake and share it, so he can have some, but they said, No, that There is a special man who is appointed to cut the cake and share it. So, everybody was waiting to see the person, and behold, here came Brother Amos, with white clothes on, as the special man to cut and share the cake. This was his first dream about this ministry. Then he had a second dream, also whilst in his former assembly, where he dreamt that he was standing at a particular bus-stop, waiting to board a commercial bus to his destination. As he was waiting for some time, several buses came along, brand new buses, but he was not moved in his heart to enter any of them, although people were rushing into them. As he continued to wait, a rough and old rugged bus came around, and he decided to enter it, for he was moved in his heart to do so. On boarding the bus, he was very surprised to see that the interior of the bus looked brand new, and the faces of the people he saw in the bus also looked familiar, and not until he started coming to Bible Faith Tabernacle, that he began to see some of the faces he saw in the bus. In that dream, he was very amazed by the masterful way the driver was driving, and the speed with which he drove, because he overtook all the new buses that he had seen earlier, buses that he had refused to enter, even though all those other buses had departed long before this one had. This made him decide to move closer to where the driver was, in order to see the man who was driving the bus, because he felt that he was a perfect driver, and as he made his way to the front of the bus, he was surprised to see that the driver was Brother Amos. He immediately recognised him, because of his photo that he had seen on the Scribe Magazine. Having had this second dream, he decided at that point to leave the Church he was attending, and he went to see his pastor, to inform him that he was leaving his assembly for Bible Faith Tabernacle. Saints, just see how God led our brother by two dreams, into the Continuing Light of Jesus Christ. God is awesome! And now consider the dream that Sister Ngozi also had, for God is only encouraging her heart with Brother Samuel's image, that she may know that Brother Samuel has passed from this mortal life into eternal glory, and she should therefore be at peace. It is most encouraging! Saints, we have had quite a few of our brethren called home between December 2016, and January 2017, for God is sovereign, and perfect in all His ways. As you must all be aware, the Lord called home our brother, the pastor of the Church in Okigwe, Brother Victor Eleoba, and he was buried last Friday. We thank God for his life, and our prayers are with his wife, his children, and his relations, as well as with the saints in Okigwe, and

5 April 2017 may God fill the ministry void that he has left behind in that local assembly. He stood firmly for this Continuing Light, and may his gentle soul rest in peace. We will see our brother in the morning. Saints, the testimony that was given during his burial is a wonderful one, and is most encouraging, particularly because it c a m e f r o m a denominational person, a Pentecostal sister, and a neighbour, who had a dream concerning Brother Victor, and I want to appreciate Brother Ifeanyi Nzekwe for giving the testimony to me. The testimony was given by one Sister Ngozi Uche, a member of the Heavenly Conscious Bible Church, Okigwe. I will read the testimony to you, and it states: On the wee hours of 9th January 2017, I had a dream. I saw myself standing with my husband on the roadside that leads to Pastor Victor's wife's shop. Two men were coming from both sides of the road. When they came closer to each other, the one going up asked the one coming down the road where he was coming from. He said that he was from Isaac Eleoba's house, that somebody died there. The other asked him, Who died there? Mr. B said, Pastor Victor Eleoba died. Mr. A started arguing with the other man. On the course of this argument, my eyes were opened, and I saw Pastor Victor walking up on a separate road. He wore a spotless, sparkling, and incomparable white robe. On his right hand was a golden Bible. Around his head was a kind of ball of light, shining above him. He was like a teenager, looking very-very handsome, no more sick, very energetic, happy, charming, and was singing this song as he went: ( We shall marchmarch on that golden land. We shall marchmarch through the Golden Gate. We shall march-march on that Golden Gate, when our Lord Jesus shall come ) He stopped and turned to both men and I heard him say, You people said that I was dead. To the world, yes, I was dead, but I slept. I have woken in heaven. I have reached Page 5 to where I belong. He started showing them his body and said, Look at me. I look great. I'm no more sick. Please, tell my wife she should take those kids through this road I took. She must not leave this road. Through the road I took, she'll meet this same joy everlasting. She will see no death, pain or sorrow. Please, tell my first son, Jesse-Paul to go and carry that Bible of mine in our room. Tell him not to drop that Bible. He must carry it. Please, Jesse- Paul should be taken good care of. He should not be forsaken. As Pastor Victor was saying all these, he was looking at me with the corner of his eyes. I called upon my husband and said, Look at how beautiful this man is. Oh! No wonder his wife agreed to marry him. He is such a beauty. I said to myself, I will like to have the kind of joy this man has. There's nothing in this world worth living for. I then, woke from my sleep, shivering with goose pimples all over my body. In the morning, the news about his death spread and I got terrified. How I

6 Page 6 wish I could walk on that same road he walked. If you saw what I saw, you will desire to leave this world as well. The joy is unspeakable. He really walked with God. He was a peaceful man. That is wonderful! God is great, and it just encourages us to stay in the Light of the Holy Scriptures, because the Continuing Light of Jesus Christ, is certainly the pathway to eternal glory. Brothers and sisters, we are travelling on the right road, the road that leads to eternal glory. She had this dream in the morning of the very night our brother died. And what makes it weighty and most meaningful, is that it was not a dream given by anyone following this light, but by a Pentecostal Church member! Let me tell you this, brothers and sisters, you do not know what great blessings and favour God has bestowed upon you, when He brought you into the true light of His Word, that you may know Jesus Christ, free of all creeds and dogma, that bind the souls of men to death. The Lord also called our brother in Akure home, Brother Olusegun Olubola. He was on his way to the Federal Capital, Abuja, when he suddenly had a car crash, and passed away instantly. May God comfort and encourage the heart of our sister, his wife, Sister Rebecca, his son, and that of the entire family, and the saints in Akure. He has also just been buried as well, and may his gentle soul rest in peace. I was informed that he was in the car with the second in command to the Deji of Akure, (the king of Akure), when they had a crash, somewhere there in Abaji or so. The car somersaulted, and bursted into flames. Brothers and sisters, the bodies of all occupants of that car were badly charred and burnt, except the body of our brother. As a matter of fact, when they brought their bodies back home, they were brought in bags, because they were completely charred to pieces and burnt. They had to pick up their pieces, and put them in bags, and it was only Brother Olubola's body that was whole, and that came back completely whole, without a scratch! For even in death, God honoured His Word! Even in death, God honoured our brother, for Brother Olubola April 2017 stood for His truth! Even in death, he was the only person that came back to Akure whole, so he can be given a befitting burial as a son of God, who stood for God's truth; for he came out of all man-made systems of religion, and followed Jesus Christ in the Continuity of his divine Scriptural revelation! Praise be to God! Halleluiah! Brothers and sisters, this world is not ours, for we are strangers and pilgrims here; we are seeking a city to come, a celestial city, a city whose builder and maker is God, and as such, God appoints the time of our home going. Death has come and escorted three of our brothers home, for he is the escort from this life into the other life, and we will surely see them in the resurrection morning. So, death is not something that a believer should fear; it is not something to be afraid of, and it is also not something to be worried about, thinking, Oh, death is coming. I am going to die. Let death come at any time he wants to come; what is important to me is that my soul is saved. That is all that matters, for there is nothing in this world, and

7 April 2017 there is nothing to this world. Why do you not want to die? What is your problem with death? Why are you so afraid of dying? I am asking you, what is your problem with death? What is in this world that you love so much that you do not want to die? What is it that makes you afraid of death? There is nothing to this evil and adulterous world! Do you not know what God has given to His saints? It is the gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus, one that is sealed in hope! Therefore, you should not be afraid to die, for death is just a friend to take us to Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, I am sick and tired of this world! But I know that I cannot go now, even though it is better, and even though I would love to go, because there is great work to be done. But the fact remains, that there is nothing here for me, or for us, for it is a world reeking with iniquity and utter godlessness! So, as a believer, you should stop worrying about death, and neither should you be afraid of death, for there is nothing to this world, and more importantly, we have a blessed and lively hope! Brothers and sisters, God is doing something wonderful for His children at this evening time, and all I can pray today is, Lord, may you perfect everything that concerns the Bride of Jesus Christ. Let us bow our heads in prayer. (Brother Amos prayed). Brothers and sisters, there is a small but very crucial message that I want to share with you today. It is from just one verse of Scripture, and it is one that I have always wanted to preach on for many years now; however, I am now taking it today by the grace of God, for indeed, God sets the pace, and He also sets the time. Come with me to the Gospel of Saint Luke Chapter 17, and we will take just one verse, verse 32, and it states: Remember Lot's wife. This verse forms the basis and title of my message: REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE. We all know the story of Lot, a man who lived in Sodom, and whom the Lord had to deliver, as laid out in Genesis Chapter 19. We also know that in Luke Chapter 17, Jesus Christ gave us a prophetic utterance, a prophetic picture of the re-enactment at this end time, of the Page 7 spiritual and social conditions that existed in Sodom back then, that there will be a repeat of it at this evening time, as verses 28-30, records: Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Church, you all know that we are living in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, for that Sodomite spirit has revived, and it is as strong as ever. There is no doubt about it, except that we are totally astounded and mesmerized, totally perplexed, at the extent to which things have degenerated, for this age has outclassed Sodom and Gomorrah in iniquity. Never in our wildest imaginations, would we think that humanity would be what it is today, in their utter perversion, and absolute moral degeneration! It is just unbelievable; it is most incredible! But please

8 Page 8 come with me to Genesis Chapter 19, to pick up the story, so we can see exactly why Jesus warned us, declaring categorically: REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE. What a message! What a message Jesus dropped in 33 AD., for it is a message relating to this end time. What a serious prophetic message for Jesus to drop, having first laid out the conditions in the days of Noah, along with that of the days of Sodom, sealing it in verse 30, stating: Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Then, speaking to the end time believers, the end time Church goers, he warned in verse 32: Remember Lot's wife. What exactly are we to remember about Lot's wife? What serious instructions does she hold for us who are living at this end time? That is precisely what we want to find out in this message. Beginning from verse 1, Genesis Chapter 19 records: And there came Two Angels to Sodom AT EVEN, (at the evening time); and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. We will skip to verse 12, because we know those moral perverts came knocking on the door, wanting to have a homosexual relationship with the two angels, whom they thought were men of flesh and blood. Verse 12: And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, taking in friends and relations. God's love for Lot, was going to be extended towards his loved ones as well. Is God not wonderful? Is His love and mercy for His people not rich and great? Yes, His love is great and April 2017 marvellous, for our God is a wonderful God! In that day, God's love for Lot was going to be extended to cover all his loved ones as well. And let me tell you tonight, many times, God's mercy, goodness, and blessing, is extended to your loved ones on your account, even though they are unbelievers, because the Lord knows that any negative thing they suffer will affect you adversely. The fact, however, is that they do not realise that they are enjoying the protection and mercy of God, on your account, for it is because of you that God keeps them. I will remind you of a similar scenario recorded in the Book of Acts Chapter 27, verses 20-25, which states: And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away. But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there

9 April 2017 shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee ALL THEM THAT SAIL WITH THEE. Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. Sometimes, God lifts the burdens off them on account of you, because of how it will adversely affect you. Genesis Chapter 19, verse 12: And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, BRING THEM OUT OF THIS PLACE. What was he to do? HE WAS TO BRING THEM OUT, for at that evening time, he carried a message calling out of Sodom, earnestly and firmly declaring: COME OUT OF SODOM! Why was this necessary; why was it so important? Verse 13 spells it out, stating: For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and THE LORD HATH SENT US TO DESTROY IT. And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. It was a message of life Lot bore in that day, for the mercy of God was reaching out to them, and they spurned God's mercy. Salvation came to them, and they spurned salvation. And yet, in that day, salvation was not given on any condition other than for them to simply believe and come out, for they did not need to do anything! It was simply to have faith, and come out! It was just to believe the message, and come out! But you know, as simple as it was; as simple as salvation was given in that day, or made to be, if God was not dealing with you, it was a mountain, a great mountain! Revelation that looks so plain, so simple to you, only because it has been given to you to log on to it; but to others, it is a mountain, a great one, and Page 9 that is the truth! Because the people must have definitely felt, How am I going to leave this place today, right now? I am to leave the house that I built in Victoria Island, and the one I built in Ikoyi, and get out of Lagos today. And to go where exactly? What will I say is wrong with me? Am I mad? All my properties, all my vehicles, all my landed estates? Do you know how much investment I have in Union Bank, as well as in XYZ Plc., and you are asking me to get out? To where? It looked like a message of madness! It just did not make sense to carnal minds! And truly, the things of the Spirit of God can never make sense to carnal minded people, for the revelation of God defies human logic. That is precisely why they stumble at truth, however plain, and however simple it may be, because men stumble at the simplicity of God. His sons-in-law must have told poor Lot, a sincerely concerned man: Daddy, we did not know you have been looking for a means of taking your daughters from us. You are just trying to find an excuse to spoil our

10 Page 10 April 2017 marriages, because there is nothing you are saying that makes any sense! Please, go, if you feel that way; but please, stop playing the clown! Are you with me? Because he sounded like a mad man to them, and so, they did not listen to the man! The Bible says: But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. That gives us a jester, a clown! It looked like a big joke! They must have thought in that day: Did our father-in-law drink too much wine and lost his mind, and is he now coming to tell us this? No, no, no! What was in the face of the sky in that day? There was nothing, as everything was clear and normal; there was nothing unusual about the face of the sky; everything looked okay as usual, and that evening was also very calm and quiet, even though a serious divine judgment was looming over Sodom and Gomorrah. My! Verse 15: And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered Why was Lot lingering? He was in an utter confused state, thinking, What can I take out of Sodom? What can I do in this great urgency? How many things can I carry out of all my great possessions in this grave situation? What about all my loved ones who just will not listen? The man was just dilly-dallying, for it was a serious hour, because the end of Sodom had come! What an urgent message! Verse 16: And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. Angels pulled them out! Mercy, God's love and mercy, pulled them out in that most perplexing hour! Verse 17: And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he, (one of the two angels) said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. Why was this stated? It is simply because there is no safety in the plain, in all the plain! There is safety in only one place, and one place alone, and that is on the mountain. What is the mountain? It speaks of Jesus Christ in his divine scriptural revelation, the Rock of Truth! The mountain sets a type of Christ, the Rock of God, the Mountain of Salvation, the Mountain of Redemption, our only Rock of Security! They were asked to run to the mountain, but Lot was still even arguing, upon all the mercy that was shown to him! And we must know that God had mercy on Lot, because of Abraham. Brothers and sisters, Lot sets a type of the Tribulation Saints; he is a type of the Foolish Virgins; whilst on the other hand, Abraham sets a type of the Bride of Jesus Christ, who sees everything ahead, by the prophetic dealing of God that he had received, and as one who was not touched or affected in any way by the Judgment of Fire that fell upon Sodom. Saints, Abraham is a perfect type of the Bride, the Wise Virgins, whilst Lot is a perfect type of the

11 April 2017 Page 11 Foolish Virgins, who will pass through the Tribulation in the Last Week of Daniel. Verse 17: And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; ESCAPE TO THE MOUNTAIN, LEST THOU BE CONSUMED. And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die. Why would he say that? Why would he be making such carnal suggestions, when he was being saved from imminent death? Come on! Come on, Lot! And that is how people argue with true revelation, because they think they know better. We cannot argue with God's revelation, because the revelation of God is perfect and infallible! The angel told him, There is no place of safety in all the plain. The only place of safety is the mountain. Therefore, run to the mountain. Now, Lot was saying that something evil would happen to him, and that he would die, and he said all that, whilst being delivered by God! The inability of Foolish Virgins to log on to the true revelation of God, is precisely the reason they will pay a price, for they will seal their testimony with their blood, in the 70th Week of Daniel. God was saving him, and Lot was still speaking about evil and death, when the salvation of God is perfect, as long as we walk in the light! Come on! Just how can something evil happen to him at the same time, whilst following the salvation of God?! Come on! What evil? How can God deliver you from certain death, and then also send you into evil? Is God not perfect in all His ways? Think about it! Some things just do not make sense! And what was Lot's request? Verse 20: Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. The man just loved city life, and that was why he chose Sodom to begin with! Oh, my! We brought out a message in the Scribe, titled, The Prosperity Of Serpent Seeds. Brothers and sisters, there is nothing to city life, but iniquity. How do you see what you see? What spectacles are you using to see with? You can see good jobs, money, good life, nice houses, good roads, this and that, and not see the iniquity that is reeking in the city. How do you see what you see? What spectacles are you using? Lot was still asking to be allowed to live in a city, with all the iniquity that grieved his heart in the City of Sodom! The man was certainly not tired of city life! But ask me: Where exactly was the location of the socalled little city that he requested for? It was in the plain; it was still in the valley! Yet, the angel of God had already told him: There is no place of safety in the plain or in the valley, except on the mountain. However, verse 21 declares: And he (the angel) said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, (and that was even only temporarily), for the

12 Page 12 April 2017 which thou hast spoken. Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. Now watch, because you must understand that the stay of Lot in the little city of Zoar was very much short lived. Verses records: Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and ALL the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. All the cities in the plain had to go. Let us go to verses 27-30: And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord: And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that GOD R E M E M B E R E D ABRAHAM, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. As the destruction of the Lord was moving from city to city, for God was destroying those cities one after the other, Lot realised that he had to run to the mountain, for indeed, that was the only place of safety. Saints, Lot still had to run from Zoar at the end of the day, because there was no place of refuge in the plain, and in the city. The only place of refuge was on the mountain, and may I also say, that your only place of refuge is also on the mountain, the Mountain of the Lord, Spiritual Mount Zion, the Mountain of the Great God, and that is the Rock of the revealed Truth of Jesus Christ! Now let us go back to pick up verse 25: And he (God) overthrew those cities, and ALL the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. Now pay attention to the next verse, for it is where I am going, for it is my focus. Verse 26: But his wife looked back from behind him, AND SHE BECAME A PILLAR OF SALT, a memorial for all time, because she looked back. The question is: What exactly did she not understand in the message that the angels gave? What part of the instruction did she not understand? What part of the message was hidden? In verse 17, the angels declared in simple and categorical terms: And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life, (which simply means to run for your life, and that was the first instruction); look not behind thee, (which was the second instruction), neither stay thou in ALL the plain, (which was the third instruction); escape to the mountain, (which was instruction number four), LEST THOU BE CONSUMED. So, what was not clear in this message? They were firmly

13 April 2017 Page 13 warned: Do not look back ; Look not behind thee. Church, the Bible says concerning the wife of Lot in verse 26: But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. And why did Mrs Lot look back? That was against the revelation that they had received! That was against the M e s s a g e, t h e commandment! Salvation in that day was free, but it came with precise divine instructions of life; and you can only accept salvation on God's terms, and on God's terms alone! And let me warn you tonight, brothers and sisters, because the God of the Old Testament, is the God of the New Testament, for the God of the Mountain, is also the God of the valley, for God is God: He does not change! Salvation can only be received on the terms of Almighty God alone, and not on your terms, or on any other person's terms. It does not matter what you think, or what you feel, as all that is irrelevant! The fact is, that salvation is a gift; it is the gift of God, and as a result, you can only have it on God's terms and God's term alone. What a lot of people do not realise, is that although salvation is free, nevertheless, it is not cheap, for it comes with terms, God's terms; and you are either going to accept the terms of God, or you will not be saved! Period! Hence, it is written in Ephesians Chapter 2, verses 8-9: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Saints, Mrs. Lot looked back when she came out of Sodom. That lets us see, that although she came out of Sodom, nonetheless, Sodom was in her heart, for Sodom did not come out of her heart. She came out of Sodom, but Sodom was in her heart! And you can come out of something, and that thing you came out from, may still be in your heart; the spirit of it may be in your heart. She came out of Sodom, but the spirit that ruled Sodom, the spirit of Sodom, was in her heart. And although she came out, she did not make it to life, despite the fact that she came out. Church, Mrs. Lot died following the Message of the hour! It was whilst following the message of that hour, that she died, right under the ministry of Lot, the carrier of that message! Please note this fundamental fact, because she did not die in Sodom; she had come out! She died whilst following the message of the hour, because she went contrary to the revelation of life that was offered to her. She was told in plain and simple terms: Do not look back! Forward ever! Burn the bridge! That is the meaning of burning the bridge! Do not look back, as there is nothing to look back to in Sodom; there is nothing there but iniquity! That was why God came to wipe it out! And Church, did God spare the diamonds, the gold, and the silver that the people had in Sodom? No, for those are worthless things to angels! It is mortals that care for gold, diamonds, sapphires, and rubies; and that is what men are killing for: the mundane things of this world; ephemeral things; things that have no spiritual value; things that cannot last; things that cannot endure, because they have no eternal value, but only have temporal value. They

14 Page 14 kill because of these things; they steal because of them; they maim lives, and wreck lives, all because of these earthly things, these ephemeral things, things that are transient, and are spiritually worthless. These are the things that humanity has allowed to take over their hearts. There are some women, when you consider their trinket boxes, they need hefty men to carry them, because of the weight of the gold and all sorts of precious gems inside them. And when the person dies, what happens to the trinket box? In Sodom in that day, the angels burnt down everything! Lot's wife came out of Sodom, but Sodom did not come out of her heart. She came out of Sodom, but the spirit of Sodom still controlled her life, for it was in her heart; Sodom was in her heart. As it is written in Proverbs Chapter 23, verse 7: For as he thinketh IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE And so, the spirit of Sodom that was in her heart, the spirit of Sodom that ruled her life, moved her to look back at Sodom. And although she followed the message of the hour, she still identified with Sodom in her heart, and God decided to turn her into a memorial for all ages, for all who follow the light. She was physically turned into a pillar of salt. Brothers and sisters, the issue is this: At the hour of the judgment of Sodom, God turned the wife of Lot into a memorial, and many centuries later, here came our Lord Jesus, in Luke Chapter 17; he spoke of the re-occurrence of the conditions in Sodom at this end time, a horrible reality we are also facing today, with Sodomites having taken over the world, particularly the West, and then he added in verse 32, giving us a serious warning: Remember Lot's wife. As we speak this day, Lot's wife is in the past, for she is history, as she lived thousands of years ago. Yet, our Lord picked her up, and warned us about her, and in doing that, he is giving us nothing but a prophetic application of Mrs. Lot. I repeat: In laying out the prophetic revelation of the moral decadence of the end time, a very sad and most disturbing reality we are now facing today, he also dropped something, for he dropped a prophetic April 2017 statement, Remember Lot's wife, meaning that Lot's wife is instructive; she stands as a serious prophetic picture, because her conduct and judgment also carries a prophetic message. Are you with me? The reason God turned her into a memorial for all ages, is also giving us a prophetic message, something that you and I need to be very careful about, so that we do not fall into the same trap, so that we do not end up in the same shoe as the wife of Lot, receiving the same judgment, in an end type. And Church, if there are any people that are to understand the prophetic application of Lot's wife, it is the Bride of Jesus Christ. And if there are any people to whom this warning has more relevance, it is the people following the light, the Message of the Hour. You say, O Brother Amos, why are you saying that? Everybody going to Church, everybody professing to be a believer should remember Lot's wife. Yes, on a general level, or speaking generally, giving it its general application, it applies to everybody professing to follow Jesus Christ. However, brothers and sisters, what I want you to know today, is that this

15 April 2017 serious warning, applies majorly or essentially to the Message followers, rather than to the denominational folks, in its prophetic application, because it is talking to a people following the true revelation of God. The Lord Jesus, having first laid out the prophetic application of the evil and morally bankrupt spiritual, social, and moral conditions of Sodom, at this end time, also added prophetically in verse 30: Even thus shall it be in the day WHEN THE SON OF MAN IS REVEALED, (IN THAT HOUR OF TIME). We have a message dealing specifically with this subject in the Scribe Magazine, titled, LUKE 17:30, wherein we showed scripturally, the Dual Application of Luke 17:30, and that message is available on our website for free downloading, to all interested persons. Saints, we all know, or we should know, that it takes A son of man, a prophet, to reveal THE Son of man, Jesus the Christ, the Prophet of all prophets. I repeat: It takes a son of man, an end time prophet, to reveal Jesus Christ in his earthly prophetic ministry, in the Days of Noah and Lot. Are you with me? So, the Master, having first laid out the prophetic revelation of Jesus Christ in verse 30, or having laid out the reprojection of the earthly prophetic ministry of Jesus Christ at this end time, by a son of man, in a period wherein we have the spiritual and social conditions of Noah and Lot's days, he now added in verse 32, saying in essence: IN THOSE DAYS, REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE! Consequently, it simply means, that in order to get the prophetic application of this verse of Scripture, and I am referring to verse 32, concerning Lot's wife, not its general application, but its prophetic application, we have to take verse 32, and tie it to verse 30, as verse 30, is where Jesus does something for the people of God, as the Lord's message is tied to verse 30. This should let you see most clearly, that the Lord was looking principally (majorly) at a people following a truth, a people following a message, the End Time Message, just as Mrs. Lot had also followed a Message. And in that day, we must not forget, that it was also an End Time Message for the city of Sodom, as well as for all the cities in the plain, and Page 15 similarly, it was a message that was also given at the evening time. Mrs. Lot followed an end time message, and in that message, was a serious warning; the message of Lot carried a serious warning: DO NOT LOOK BACK. But unfortunately, she looked back, whilst following the end time message, and God turned her into a pillar of salt, a memorial for all time. Consequently, we have to see that Luke Chapter 17, verse 32, is more applicable to those people following a truth, a people following the message, than to the Denominational world. I am saying in essence, that the Denominational folks, are not the main focus of the prophetic warning Jesus gave, stating: Remember Lot's wife. The main focus, the primary focus of this warning, one which is tied to the end time, is a people following the message, people following a truth that God has also sent to the earth, just as Mrs. Lot was similarly following the message of the hour, the message of her day. As I stated earlier, it was an end time message in that day, because the end time had come for Sodom, and for all the cities

16 Page 16 in the plain. It was an end time message, and God raised Lot, and told him to carry that message, an end time message, for Sodom, telling them in plain and categorical terms This is where it ends! Come out!! COME OUT OF SODOM!!! But remember, brothers and sisters, that any man who speaks by God, is also bound by the same Word of God that he carries to the people of God; because the messenger is bound by his message! A messenger is also bound by his message, for no messenger is above his message! Can I hear Amen? Yes! No messenger is above his message, and as such, every messenger is bound by his message! Do you know why it is so? Because the message is not of the man, but of God, and consequently, a divine message binds the giver, as well as the hearer! Come with me to Numbers Chapter 27. It was time for God to take Moses away, and Moses said to God: Are you not going to give them another lead ministry, another guide? and God said, Yes, I will! Numbers Chapter 27, beginning from verse 15, records: And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set A MAN over the congregation, Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the Lord be not as sheep which have NO SHEPHERD (GUIDE). And the Lord said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay thine hand upon him; And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient. And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the Lord ; (Now watch): AT HIS WORD shall they go out At Joshua's word, shall all the congregation of Israel go out, Joshua being their guide under God, their lead ministry. But remember, those words by which he would lead them out, are not words that come out April 2017 from his mind as a man, for they are not his thoughts; those are words which Joshua received from God, for they are nothing but God's divine revelation to Joshua. Consequently, the words of Joshua by which the children of Israel would be led out, are not the words of a man, they are not the thoughts of Joshua, and neither are they the ideas of Joshua, but they are strictly the revelations of the Almighty God. Period! Therefore, the words of Joshua actually give us the Word of God! Verse 21B: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, BOTH he, (Joshua), AND all the children of Israel with him, even ALL the congregation. Why? Because a messenger is bound by his message, for he is obligated to it as well, as no messenger is greater than his message, for God is over all! The Word of God rules ALL men, both messenger and congregation! It is simply because, no man towers higher than the Word of God; no man is above the Word of God; no messenger is greater than the Word of God, regardless of the fact that he brought it, because the messenger is carrying the

17 April 2017 mind of God that binds him, and that is greater than him, and it also binds the people as well, being the Word of God Almighty! So, yes, at the word of Joshua, they were all to go out and come in, both Joshua and the people, because the Word of God, being The Absolute, towers higher than everybody, and binds everybody, including the messenger; because at the end of the day, he is just a servant, one who is also bound by the Words of the Master! So, coming back to the issue of Lot, we are making a point, and it is that God gave a message to Lot in that evening time, through the commission of angels, and they asked him: Have you any people here, any loved ones? Go and preach to them, and tell them to come out, whether it is your son-in-law, daughters, relations, or friends, whosoever, as many as will hear you, tell them to COME OUT OF SODOM. So, he carried that message that night, knocking on doors, declaring to them: God is going to destroy this city within 24 hours. Come out now! COME OUT OF SODOM! Brothers and sisters, Lot carried a message, an evening message, one which was a calling out message. That very night, God was calling out of Sodom. It was a calling out message, because God was going to destroy it. The judgment of God was hanging right over Sodom in that day, and if you loved life, you were asked to COME OUT OF SODOM! That was all that was required for salvation in that day: Simply Come Out! Some may have thought: Well, I did this, I did that; I committed this sin and that sin. That did not matter in that day, if only you came out, because as it is written: The just shall live BY FAITH! It did not matter what you had done in your life; it did not matter the evil, for the mercy of God covered all that. All you needed to do was just believe and obey the voice of your Maker, and come out, and you would live. It did not matter what you had done, and however terrible, because salvation is a gift of God to those who will dare to believe. Oh, I have killed so many people Oh, I stole money I have lived a terrible life of prostitution I am a cocaine junkie. Just come out of Sodom, and you would live! Because salvation is strictly of the Lord, for it is a gift, an unmerited favour, one Page 17 which we receive by faith, and as such, the Lord God sets the terms for it. And in that day, the terms for salvation was simply to come out of Sodom, but in addition, you were not to look back at Sodom. Period! You were expected in that day, and you are still expected today, to burn the bridges, because there is absolutely nothing in Sodom to look back to! That is why the title of my message is, REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE. Church, exactly why are we to remember Lot's wife? Because in Luke Chapter 17, verse 30, the Lord also sent an end time messenger, calling out of spiritual Sodom! Wake up! Please come there with me, for you just have to see this truth. May God help me tonight, for it is a serious thought, although it is just a little message. This is a prophetic declaration our Master Jesus gave in Luke Chapter 17, beginning from verse 26: And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered

18 Page 18 into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded, (for man was preoccupied with all those things, totally forgetting their God, their Maker; and not caring about the state of their souls, or of their eternal end); But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. In verse 30, the Lord now gives us a prophetic word, declaring: Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man IS REVEALED. And we know it takes A son of man at this end time, a prophet, to reveal The Son of man, Jesus the Christ, the Prophet of all prophets, for this verse gives us a messenger to this age, who is none other than the Elijah-Prophet to the Gentiles, the man who fulfilled Malachi Chapter 4, verse 6B, in its first application. I repeat: Verse 30 gives us a message, one which a son of man, a prophet, who is none other than Elijah, will carry for the elect children of God. We also have a message in the Scribe Magazine, dealing with THE DUAL APPLICATION OF MAL. 4:6B, PROMISE OF ELIJAH, for anyone interested, and it is also available for free downloading on our website. But Church, the fact is, Jesus Christ plainly declared prophetically in verse 30: Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed, (that is, through a son of man). Brothers and sisters, I want you to please note, that it is this fact, or rather, it is to this truth of verse 30, that verse 32 is now attached, warning: REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE. Verse 33 adds: Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it, (letting us know in clear terms, that there is a price we will pay to follow truth, for truth has its price). Yes, it does! That is why the Master continued, giving us a hope, giving us something to live for, something worth fighting for, and something worth dying for, if need be, declaring in verses 34-37: April 2017 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed, (sleeping); the one shall be taken (in the rapture), and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together, (representing industry right up to the hour of the rapture); the one shall be taken (in the rapture), and the other left. Two men shall be in the field, (representing the grave); the one shall be taken (in the rapture), and the other left. In verse 37, Jesus concludes everything, just as it is written: And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, WHERESOEVER THE BODY IS, THITHER WILL THE EAGLES BE G A T H E R E D TOGETHER. This lets us see, that the warning concerning Mrs. Lot, is directed in its prophetic application, to a people following the End Time Message of Elijah! However, please note, brothers and sisters, that the gathering referred to here, in verse 37, gives us the rapture, for it is about our gathering together unto him in the clouds, to meet

19 April 2017 the Lord in the air. Therefore, we cannot take it to the gathering that is also recorded in Saint Matthew Chapter 24, verse 28, as they are two different things, even though they look similar. They actually have two different applications, and as such, we cannot lump them together, and we must not lump them together. Matthew Chapter 24, verse 28, records: FOR WHERESOEVER THE CARCASE IS, (which is the Fresh kill of the Word, the Fresh Carcase of revealed Truth), there will the eagles be gathered together. This verse speaks of the carcase of the Word upon which God's true eagles feed, whilst the other verse, the one in Saint Luke, speaks of the gathering of the eagles to where the body is assembled in the sky, in the rapture. Are you with me? One speaks of our translation into glory, whilst the other speaks of our feeding on the Fresh revelation of the Word of God. So, please, do not mix them together, for No word of prophecy is of any private interpretation, or you will kill yourself with it. Brothers and sisters, I am making a point, because there is something serious I want to lay before you, for our Lord implores us seriously: Remember Lot's wife. It is a warning, one which in its prophetic revelation, in its prophetic application, is directed solely to a people following the message which God sent in the earth, at this evening time, through William Branham, the prophet to this age. He was a man, A son of man, through whom the earthly prophetic ministry of Jesus Christ, THE Son of man, was revealed to this age, although the religious world has no clue to Luke Chapter 17, verse 30. And although they are stupefied and mystified by the unparalleled and unusual prophetic ministry that Brother Branham had, the ability he had to discern the thoughts in the hearts of men, and also to discern diseases with absolute accuracy, without being told the ailment by the sufferer, and his ability to also minister perfect onthe-spot healing and deliverance, they fail to realise that God did not do that, merely to mesmerise Page 19 humanity, God not being an entertainer, but it was done, in fulfilment of Luke Chapter 17, verse 30, for Brother Branham characterised Jesus Christ in his earthly prophetic ministry. Period! That is why there had to be an Elijah at this end time, specifically in the part of the Days of Noah, in Luke 17:30, to re-demonstrate the earthly prophetic ministry of Jesus Christ to us Gentiles, that we may also have a taste of what his earthly ministry was, and that is precisely the reason William Branham had an unusual ministry. It is because God used him to characterise Two Major Biblical Ministries at this evening time: The Elijah Ministry of John the Baptist, from the standpoint of Malachi Chapter 4, verse 6B, AND The Prophetic Ministry of Jesus the Christ, from the standpoint of Luke Chapter 17, verse 30. And that is why he had the kind of unusual ministry that he had, to let the Gentiles have a foretaste of what it was like in the earthly days of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Go and read that message, LUKE 17:30, in the Scribe, if you have not. It is a big

20 Page 20 shame that the Christian religious world, people who claim that they are following Jesus Christ, are as blind as bats to the revelation of our Saviour, upon all the Bible that they read and quote meaninglessly. That is precisely why, in the scheme of things, and in relation to the Gentile Bride, they cannot see the place of Elijah at all, when he is Jesus Christ's Major Vessel to this Laodicean Church Age, being the Star Messenger! They openly and flatly deny the ministry of Elijah in this Last Age, even though they can all clearly see the repeat of the evil conditions of Noah, compounded with the utter degenerate conditions of Sodom, and they can preach against the Sodomites. Saints, their blatant and nonsensical denial of the ministry of Elijah, one who is ordained to carry a message to turn our hearts back to the Bible, is precisely what moved me to take a message in South Africa, titled, DISPENSATIONAL MESSENGERS, LEAD MINISTRIES: IN DEFENCE OF WILLIAM BRANHAM, and God helping us, we are going to put that message in the Scribe shortly, for it is very crucial. The unbelief that has engulfed Christendom, is something else; it is unbelievable what Christendom has become! No wonder Jesus asked a rhetorical question, (which simply means that what he said was more of a statement than a question), and it is recorded in Saint Luke Chapter 18, verse 8, where he asked: Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, SHALL HE FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH? Just look at the utter perversion in Christendom today, a world where the Bible has been totally trampled upon, desecrated, and rendered absolutely irrelevant on issues of faith, for it is no longer of any application on issues of belief! My, oh my! They can cry about the evil signs Jesus Christ spoke about in Luke Chapter 17, signs which are all around us, choking us to death; but they cannot see the promise in verse 30, of the manifestation of The Son of man, through A son of man! That was what made Brother Branham cry out, and he challenged this April 2017 most unbelieving generation, by asking them a very serious question in 1964, in his message titled, The Voice Of The Sign, Line 179, declaring: If you can believe the Sodom sign of Luke, as he promised it; you believe the Sodom sign, THEN WHY CAN'T YOU ACCEPT THE MALACHI VOICE, that follows the sign to return to the Word? Exactly! Why can they not see the promise in verse 30, of a prophetic messenger, one carrying a message of the Lord Jesus? Brother Branham continued, declaring: The Bibles says so, and you see it. Then listen to the voice of the sign: FLEE THE WRATH TO COME! GET OUT OF SPIRITUAL SODOM! He asked again in line 214: If you can believe the sign of Sodom, of Luke, if you can believe that, then why not accept the Voice of Malachi 4? Think about that quote, saints of God, for it is a serious indictment of this religious generation, because that is the prophetic ministry, which Luke 17:30, speaks of, in its first application! The prophet later added: I

21 April 2017 always tell you the truth! Someday you'll catch it; someday you'll know that I'm talking the truth. My voice may be silent You might be able to silence the body that speaks, but you'll never silence that voice: It comes from God! They stoned Stephen, but they couldn't stop his message! It'll move on! That is a fact, and truly, the Message of Elijah is moving on, just as Jesus Christ promised in Luke Chapter 17, verse 30. But then, we are also warned, Remember Lot's wife. Saints of God, you must not forget that in that day, Lot carried a message to Sodom, and that it was a calling out message, a message God sent before His judgment fell, one by which the Lord was still extending mercy to men. Mrs. Lot followed that m e s s a g e, b u t unfortunately, she did not make it through, because she stumbled on just one part of the message that told her not to look back; for everything else in the message was okay, except that. Therefore, may I also warn you, if you are going to follow the message of this end time, you have got to follow it all the way. You have got to believe it, wholly believe it, without picking and choosing which aspects are okay for you, and which are not; Otherwise, do not come near, because you will be worse off for following the message! I repeat: If you are going to follow the message the Lord sent to this Last Age, you have to follow it ALL the way, and stay with it! You must follow it in its continuous scriptural light, right up to the end, when we see Jesus! In other words: Follow the Master as he leads the way, in his light, for if you stop at any point, there you will be set aside, and turned into a figurative pillar of salt! Period! Brothers and sisters, by the grace of God, I want to open up a little picture for us, for it is something we have not really been averting our minds to, and that is that the coming out of Lot had two phases to it, for he first ran to Zoar, before he now made it to the Mountain. Yes, he came out of Sodom, quite alright, and there is no doubt about that; but the Page 21 fact also remains, that he first ran to Zoar. I repeat: Lot did not get to the mountain immediately, for he requested to be allowed to run into a little city called Zoar, before he subsequently ran to the mountain, and hence, he made it to the mountain in two phases, two stages! That is an incontestable fact of the Scriptures! Genesis Chapter 19, verses 19-22, confirms this truth to us, and the angel of the Lord agreed to this move as well, because God allowed it, and that was only because the Lord knew that it would set a type at this end time. It is not that in its End-Type, that the Elect Bride will run into a literal city, or that Elijah will lead us into a literal city, for that is not what it means at all; but it just shows that at this end time also, our calling out, and our getting to the mountain, will also involve Two prophetic phases. The end time ELIJAH, working or ministering in the Days of Noah, would lead the Elect Bride out to a point, which is to figurative Zoar, just as Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt into the wilderness;

22 Page 22 AND the Apostolic Ministry of the end time JOHN, just like that of Joshua, working or ministering in the Days of Lot, will finish the picture, taking the Bride to the Mountain of God, JUST AS LUKE 17:30 APPLIES TO BOTH MEN, IN ITS DUAL APPLICATION! Exactly! May I warn you, therefore, that you cannot stop at Zoar, but you must continue on in the scriptural light of Christ, until we see Jesus on Mount Zion, which is in the rapture! Consequently, you must see, that wherever you stop, and at whatever point you refuse to follow the Lord, in the Continuity of his Scriptural revelation, on our journey to the Mountain of God, becomes your Zoar. Catch it, and think about it for a moment! I hear somebody say: Oh, Brother Amos, it was not the angel of the Lord that asked Lot to run to Zoar; it was Lot himself who made the request! Yes, I agree, absolutely! However, that does not take away the fact, that God also used that carnal move of Lot to serve His divine purpose, because God can use anything to serve His divine purpose. Please, do not ever think that God did not know that Lot was going to make that request, for the Lord knew exactly what Lot would do, and the angel had also been fully and perfectly briefed ahead by God, that he should allow it, which was why the angel accepted the request of Lot to run to Zoar, because God was looking ahead at THE DUAL APPLICATION OF LUKE 17:30! Open your eyes! Saints, you must know that the angel of the Lord could not have agreed to it against the will of God! Come on! It is just like the case of Abraham and Sarah. Because of Sarah's old age, and her desperation to have a child, despite God's promise, she suggested that Abraham should go with Hagar, her maid, so they can have a child by her, and he did, and the relationship produced Ishmael, although Sarah also later gave birth to Isaac. Now, we all know that the intimate relationship Abraham had with Hagar, producing Ishmael, was not God's bidding; for it was entirely Sarah's suggestion, just like it was Lot's suggestion concerning Zoar! But April 2017 nonetheless, God used both relationships Abraham had with Sarah and Hagar, as well as Isaac and Ishmael that were produced, to serve His divine purpose, even as Galatians Chapter 4, verses 21-31, reveals: Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. WHICH THINGS ARE AN ALLEGORY, (TYPES): FOR THESE ARE THE TWO COVENANTS; the one from the Mount Sinai, which gendereth to BONDAGE, which is AGAR. For this Agar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is (in the Middle East, for Agar types the Nation of Israel), and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above, (whom Sarah typed, and who is the Universal Nation of the Gentile Bride of Christ), IS FREE, which is the

23 April 2017 mother of us all. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren (Universal Gentile Nation) that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate (Gentile Bride Nation), hath many more children than she which hath an husband, (who is Israel, Jehovah's wife. Having finished with the typological application of the two women, Apostle Paul now deals with the typological application of the two boys, declaring): Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he (Ishmael), that was born after the flesh, (he that was born after the desire of Sarah), persecuted him (who is Isaac), that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what saith the Scripture? Cast out the bondwoman AND her son: FOR THE S O N O F T H E BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE HEIR WITH THE S O N O F T H E FREEWOMAN. So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. What a beautiful type, and yet, it did not come by God's prompting, but by Sarah's prompting, and God used it, because He knew that Sarah would do exactly what she did, which was why He did not stop Abraham, just as the angel did not stop Lot! Exactly! And why did the Lord not stop Lot? It is because of the Dual Application of Luke 17:30, to the prophetic ministries of the end time Elijah and John! Come on! Open your eyes, and see something! Church, the God we serve, is a God of types and shadows, and He is one whose ways do not change, because God does not change! Amen! That is why we brought out a message in the Scribe Magazine, titled, The Application Of Types And Shadows. As I was saying earlier, when we consider the prophetic warning Jesus gave in 33 AD., stating, Remember Lot's wife, we must not forget that it was a calling out message that Mrs. Lot was following, when she was turned into a pillar of salt, as they ran out of Sodom. Therefore, if you are going to follow the message, you have got to Page 23 follow it all the way; Otherwise, do not come near, because you will only be worse off for following the end time message! Even Lot who was arguing with the message had to leave Zoar at the end of the day, because every city in the plain was wiped out, for not even Zoar was spared! So, at the end, he had to run out of Zoar to the mountain, making it the second phase of his run, because the only place of safety is in the mountain, Jesus Christ the Solid ROCK OF DIVINE REVELATION. So, in that day when they were called out, they were told, Do not look back. Church, Mrs. Lot came out of Sodom, although she was not the only one that came out; but she was the one that looked back, walking contrary to the Word, showing disobedience and rebellion to the Word, showing unbelief of the Word. For had she truly believed the message, she would definitely have not looked back, and she would have stayed with the message, just like the others who did not look back, but followed the message through; and

24 Page 24 hence, they made it through to safety, saving their lives! And what happened to her? She was turned into a memorial, a pillar of salt, and Jesus came thousands of years later, picked up this event, and warned the Message Movement in a prophetic utterance, declaring: REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE. And to show you its perfect prophetic application, scripturally speaking, when we come to this evening time, and we consider the Book of Revelation Chapter 18, what do we also find? We find a very similar scenario to Lot's setting, a prophetic move that God ordained for this end time, a reality which the denominational world have no clue about, and one which the prophetic warning of Jesus in Luke 17:32, firmly relates to, and it is stated in Revelation Chapter 18, verse 4; but for a background, we will take it from verse 1, and it records: And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, (great authority); and the earth was lightened with his glory, (being a mighty angel). And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Watch verse 4: And I heard another voice from heaven, (which is the voice of Elohim), saying, COME OUT OF HER, my people. Come out of what? COME OUT OF BABYLON!!! Now we see another calling out, right here at this end of time, a calling out of God's people from Babylon. Church of the living God, this is not natural or physical Babylon, for that one has been sunk of old, nevermore to rise; as God sent an earthquake for it, and it was buried permanently. This prophecy relates strictly to April 2017 spiritual Babylon, and that gives us nothing other than the Roman Catholic Church Organisation. Remember, that it was in old Babylon that Idolatry started, for Polytheism began in Babylon, coming out of the flood of Noah, and Polytheism is the worship of many gods, and that Babylon no longer exists. However, God took that same name, and applied to the First Organised System of Religion that the devil ever invented, to deceive the souls of billions of people to hell, by her idolatrous mass, her creeds and dogma, her pagan rituals, her carnal traditions, and her fleshly sanctimonious (pious looking) ceremonies, all which have absolutely no redeeming power, for they are ALL FALSE, being totally ANTI- WORD, and that Church is the Roman Catholic Church! Do not forget that in Bible prophecy, a Woman types Church; a Woman is a type of the Church, for she represents the Church, just as Eve, who is the wife of the First Adam, types the Bride, the wife of the Second Adam, our Lord Jesus Christ. Now

25 April 2017 Page 25 in the Book of Revelation, it is written of this spiritual woman called Babylon, in Chapter 17, verses 1-6: And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of THE GREAT WHORE that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw A WOMAN sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns, (which is the Roman Beast, and which gives us at this end time, the European Union). And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour (of royalty), and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication, (spiritual fornication, for the cup of her fornication gives us her wine of strange and false doctrines; antichrist doctrines): And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. This spiritual Babylon, the woman of Revelation Chapter 17, is none other than the Roman Catholic Church, whose headquarters is in the Vatican City in Rome. Hence in verse 18, Jesus adds: And the woman which thou sawest IS THAT GREAT CITY, (the Vatican City in Rome, a city within a city), which reigneth over the kings of the earth. Saints, she is supposed to be a Church, but through the Papacy, the Papal office, which is her head, she rules Heads of States around the globe, and the Pope is also received as the Head of State of the Vatican State, a State within the Italian State, having her embassies all over the globe, called the Holy See. This Church Organisation, as revealed in verse 6, brothers and sisters, is totally drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus Christ. Sixty-Eight Million Martyrs she admitted to killing in the Martyrology of Rome; particularly during the various Inquisitions in Europe, between the 12th through 15th Centuries, wherein untold multitudes of souls were burnt on stakes, and fed to lions as Heretics, for daring to believe THE HOLY BIBLE! She is supposed to be a Church of God, but she peddles nothing that the Word of God says, but rather, she peddles everything that the Holy Scriptures condemn, and she butchered in cold blood, and in the most dastardly and gruesome ways, tens of millions of souls, for standing for the truth of the Holy Bible, branding them heretics! And if I may ask: What system of religion can call believers of the inspired written Word of God heretics? Think about it

26 Page 26 April 2017 seriously! Saints, the Roman Catholic Church, is nothing but a counterfeit of true Christianity! She is to true Christianity, what Islam is to Judaistic Monotheism, (the true worship of One God), and that is a counterfeit! Moreover, she is the Mother of all Harlots, and Revelation Chapter 17 gives us this truth in verse 5, and we just read it! It is no wonder, that John wondered with great admiration in the spirit, looking at this woman, for no doubt, he thought: This is incredible, what kind of woman is this, who is drunken with the blood of God's people, and still professing to be the Church of God?! And what a woman she is indeed! Brothers and sisters, here is the Great Whore, Babylon the great, the mother of HARLOTS. (Brother Amos points to the chart). But we must ask: Why is she called the mother OF HARLOTS? It is simply because she has daughters as well! And we must know, that since the great whore herself is a Church, a most unfaithful and apostate Church, then, her daughters cannot be anything other than Churches, Churches which came out of her, and who have become unfaithful to the Word of God, just like herself, and that gives us precisely the Protestant Churches, for they are her daughters! In simple and incontrovertible scriptural terms, if Babylon the great is a great whore, as revealed in verse 1, and she has daughters, then her daughters are just like her, for they cannot be anything else, seeing that they are her daughters. And in the natural, or naturally speaking, a harlot is simply an unfaithful woman; a woman of easy virtue, who will never stay faithful to one man. Now take that in the spiritual, because the Church of Rome is supposed to be married to the Invisible Eternal Spirit God, by His Word, the Word of Jesus Christ; but she is most unfaithful to God, as she believes everything Satan doles out to her, and stands against everything God says in His Holy Bible, being totally inspired and ruled by the spirit of the antichrist, which is the spirit of the devil! You all know that to be Anti-Word is to be Antichrist, for it is the spirit of Lucifer, the spirit of deception, controverting and subverting the Word of God, just as he did in the Garden of Eden, working through the Serpent! That is why in the Dark Ages, right up to the beginning of the Reformation, she could callously and blatantly sell Indulgencies, which are licences for outright sin, and also teach a blatantly false doctrine of Purgatory, consciously and purposefully deceiving the people, just to make filthy lucre (money), with which to build the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome! Consequently, her daughters have now grown up to learn her trade, which is why there is no difference between them today, for they are ALL harlots, every last one of them, and all of them together, are most unfaithful to the Word of the Almighty God whom they profess to serve, the Word of God which they have butchered up, and trampled down, with utter impunity! It is strictly a prophetic picture, but the bottom-line is that this Church, the Great Harlot, is supposed to be married to Jesus Christ, by his Word, but she is a harlot per

27 April 2017 excellence, and so are her daughters! Yes, they all are, which is precisely why they care less for what God says in the Holy Bible, a Book they all claim is the Word of God! They might as well hold to the book of Hare Krishna, for it makes no difference! Absolutely! Saints, let us go down Church History Lane a little, just to elaborate on this woman, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots, for the sake of doing justice to our message. For if we are being called out, then we must know precisely what we are being called out from. Exactly! As I stated earlier, the First Organised Church, gives us nothing but the Roman Catholic Church, for she is the first organised church on this planet; and we must know that the True Church of Jesus Christ is unorganised, totally unorganised, and that is why our headquarters is not on earth, but in heaven, where Jesus holds court, for we have no earthly headquarters. By not being organised by men in their councils, synods, and earthly headquarters, allows for the unrestrained (unhindered) rulership of the Holy Spirit, for it allows God to deal with His people as He wills, strictly in the light of His Word, without censorship of human beings in their headquarters and councils. Because you cannot subject God, the Almighty Creator of the Universe, to the council of men, to determine what He can do, and when, and what He cannot do; what He can reveal from His Word, and when, and what He cannot reveal, for HE IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, AND HE IS SOVEREIGN! Their councils and synods have to meet and ratify it, before you can be allowed to preach anything that is different to their creeds, dogma, and carnal articles of faith. You just cannot go to any of their Churches and preach what you like, however Scripturally true it may be, without the approval of the council or synod! And if you are one of their hired preachers, and you preach or teach anything different to their beliefs, they will simply throw you out, and let you know in clear terms: We do not believe that here, and you cannot preach that Page 27 here! It is so, because they are man-made systems of religion, churches that are organised by men, and ruled, not by the Holy Bible, which is the infallible Word of God, but strictly by what they have chosen to believe, regardless of how far away from the truth it may be, and however opposed to the truth of the Word of God it may be! Yet, we all know, or should know, that the true Church of God, will be totally and unreservedly subject to the Absolute rulership of the Word of the living God, without question, and also be totally subject to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, for God rules His Kingdom, as He is sovereign! Hence in John Chapter 10, verse 27, Jesus Christ declared in plain and categorical terms: MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME (CHRIST THE WORD). They are subject solely to the rulership of the Holy Spirit, in the exclusive light of the Word of God. But that divine rulership does not exist out there in the organised religious world! However, in the First

28 Page 28 April 2017 Church Age, the Holy Spirit could tell Philip, the Evangelist, Go to Samaria. He did not have to apply to any council for permission before he could go, and neither did he have to tell them what he was going to preach, so it could be approved, for he was at complete liberty to follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit, as everything was ruled by the Word of God! You cannot, however, do that in any organised Church, whatever its name may be! You cannot just go and conduct a revival somewhere, without prior approval, for you must take official permission! But in the Early Church, Philip went to Samaria, as led by the Holy Ghost, and a great revival broke out in that city. The account is recorded in Acts Chapter 8! And listen to this: Whilst the revival was in full steam, and the whole city was on fire, the angel of the Lord suddenly said to Philip, Come away with me, and leave this revival. Saints, that man was yoked to God's leadership, so much so, that he did not say, Why would I do that? Can you not see how God is moving mightily, and that many more souls are being saved? Just how can I leave such a great revival that is setting the whole city on fire, and you now want to lead me to preach to one lone man on a desolate road? And because Philip was so faithful to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, God decided to give him a ride back. He did not have to walk back, because, as it is written, God transported him in the Spirit to the next location, Azotus, going all the way to Caesarea! Halleluiah! And may I inform you, brothers and sisters, that those days are coming, and it pays to serve Jesus in the light of the Holy Scriptures! Saints, so I am making a point, a serious point, with regards to the Early Church. They sent word to the apostles, that Samaria had been opened up to the Gospel, and they came and prayed for them, with Apostle Peter in the lead, they received the Holy Spirit, and God began to move mightily in that day. Subsequently, Peter was led supernaturally to the household of Cornelius, as recorded in Acts Chapter 10, and when he went, he also did not have to take permission from any earthly headquarters, confirming the truth that in that day, the Church of God was completely unorganised! Therefore, the Holy Spirit could deal with His men as He willed, and He could also move in the Church by His Spirit as He chose, and when He chose, without human censorship by their councils and synods, and headquarters, because the Church of God was not organised by men, it was Holy Ghost filled, Holy Ghost controlled, and Holy Ghost led! Brothers and sisters, the First Organised Church that was established on this planet, is the Roman Catholic Church. And may I inform you, in case you did not know, that the Roman Catholic Church, is not the Church that Apostle Paul wrote to in the Book of Romans! Forget it! In that day, that is, in the First Century of Christendom, the Roman Catholic Church had not yet been formed! The proof of this, is that whilst the Church in Rome which Saint Paul wrote his Epistle to, believed the Word of God, and stood firmly for its

29 April 2017 Page 29 precious truths, THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH DOES NOT BELIEVE A DIME OF WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF ROMANS! Rather, they stand against every truth that Apostle Paul laid out in that inspired Book of the Bible. Think about that! They claim that the Pope descended from the office of Saint Peter, but that is a blatant lie of the devil, for Apostle Peter did not peddle any pagan, idolatrous, and Anti-Bible doctrines, that the Pope peddles, and neither was he treated by the Roman Governments as royalty, like the governments of the entire world treat the Pope of Rome! The Pope even has Swiss guards for his personal guards, who are elite guards set up for royalty in Switzerland! Who guarded Peter but the Lord and His Word?! Come on! This world is not our home; this is not our kingdom, and neither do we lust after, or fight for political power, as the Church of Rome does, for it is written in 2 Timothy Chapter 2, verse 4: No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. What a false religion! What an apostate Church with an insatiable lust for political power, which is why there is not ONE Bible Truth that they believe and teach, even as we speak in 2017! Just how perfect is the prophetic revelation of our Master Jesus Christ! For according to the fourth parable of Matthew Chapter 13, a parable which holds a mystery of the kingdom, and which brings us directly to the Fourth Church Age, which is the Dark Ages, for that is its exact age of prophetic application, Jesus Christ spoke of a woman who has nothing but leaven, which are false doctrines, just as verse 33 states: Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto LEAVEN, which A WOMAN took, and hid in three measures of meal, TILL THE WHOLE WAS LEAVENED. All she has is leaven, for it shows undoubtedly, that she has no iota of truth to give to anyone, except leaven, and this woman is none other than the Roman Catholic Church, in prophetic projection in parable form. She took the three-course meal of salvation: Justification, Sanctification, and Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and fouled it ALL up, until the whole truth of salvation was completely leavened up! Now deny that! In that fourth parable, Jesus Christ traced the journey of the Church to the Fourth Church Age, and in that Age was a spiritual woman, A Church, who has nothing in her coffers but leaven, and yet, Jesus seriously warned the apostles: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees! It simply means that they should BEWARE OF THE DOCTRINE OF THE PHARISEES AND OF THE SADDUCEES, for they are false! (Matt. 16:6-12). That is precisely why in the prophetic revelation of Jesus Christ recorded in Revelation Chapter 17, this same Woman of leaven, is now referred to as the great whore, AND as Babylon the great, the mother of harlots AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Brothers and sisters, Babylon, the

30 Page 30 April 2017 Roman Catholic Church, is the First Organised Church ever, the first man-made religious system, ever to be established on this earth, and today, her borders have expanded to encompass the entire world of organised religion. Saints, every other manmade system, every other Organised Church, all came out of Mama Rome, whatever their names may be. The Lutheran Church Organisation came out of her, for she is her very First Daughter, just as we have her on our chart, numbered in red. (Brother Amos points to the chart). The Presbyterian Church Organisation came out of her, and she is her Second Daughter, also on our chart, also numbered in red. The Baptist Church Organisation came out of her, and she is her Third Daughter, as we also laid it out on our chart. The Church of England, or the Anglican Communion, came out of her, for she separated from her, and she is her Fourth Daughter. The Methodist Church Organisation also came out of her, and she is her Fifth Daughter, just as we have it on our chart. Are you listening to me? Saints, every other religious organisation on this planet came out of the Church of Rome. That is precisely why she is the Mother of ALL organised systems of religion! Yes, her primary daughters are the Major Denominational Churches, the Protestant Churches, and those are the five main Churches who make up the Protestant Churches, Churches formed out of the Reformation: The Lutheran Organisation, the Presbyterian Organisation, the Baptist Organisation, the Church of England, including the Methodist Organisation. Are you listening to me? Those are her five main daughters, and out of all these daughters, every other organisation have come out, whether it is the Pentecostal Churches, the Evangelical Churches, the Seventh Day Adventist Churches, the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Holiness Churches, the Church of the Latter-Day Saints, (the Mormons), including all the so-called Non- Denominational Churches, as well as the Inter- Denominational Churches, coming down to the White Garment Churches, and what-have-you! Every other organisation on this planet, find their way back to the Church of Rome, because as it is infallibly written: SHE IS THE M O T H E R O F HARLOTS, ALL HARLOTS! And may I also inform you, that we cannot separate the Eastern Orthodox Churches, which are now simply called the Orthodox Churches, from Babylon the Great. I say this because of some factors which I need to lay out before you. In 285 AD., Emperor Diocletian divided the Roman Empire into two, the Eastern Roman Empire, AND the Western Roman Empire, each with an Emperor, merely for ease of governance, for the Roman Empire had grown too big and wide for effective governance, all the way from Rome. Consequently, both divisions were considered as One Roman Empire, and the two emperors each controlled their division, but when there were security issues, they both came together as one, to preserve the Roman Empire. However, with the passage of time, and with

31 April 2017 Page 31 the breakdown of the Roman Empire, the East went its way, and developed its own character, and refashioned (adapted) the Roman Catholicism that it had embraced, after the Eastern society, and with their own religious heads, set over the various divisions of the Eastern Empire, who are called Patriarchs, and who together, constitute the Synod of Patriarchs, who constitute the Head over the Eastern Orthodox Churches, for the Papacy is not their head. However, they are just as full of carnal ceremonies and pagan traditions, as the Church of Rome, and they wear long black cassocks, with big tall caps, having big long dangling chains around their necks, just like the bishops of Rome! There is not much difference in their forms of worship, when compared to the Church of Rome, for they have equally throw away the divine compass of the Word of God, which is the Holy Scriptures! My wife and I have been privileged to enter a few of their Cathedrals, and they are so dark inside, very dingy (dark), and eerie (spooky), as they do not allow much sunlight in, painting it black, or using dark glass window designs, and neither do they put on much electric light, and coupled with all their statues, images, and low burning candles, it is simply spooky! The fact remains, brothers and sisters, that the Eastern Orthodox Churches were part of Rome to begin with, and as such, we really cannot separate them from Babylon the Great, because they form an integral part and parcel of the Church of Rome, regardless of what they think about themselves. We separated the Eastern Orthodox Church on our chart, from the Church of Rome, only in order to throw light on them, showing the saints why they are what they are, that they might gain some understanding of the Eastern Orthodox Churches, for I know that most of our brethren are not enlightened about them. That is also part of what the so-called Vision of Fatima is about, for the Roman Catholic Church is waiting for the reconversion of the Eastern Orthodox Churches back into their fold, particularly the Russian Orthodox Church! Brothers and sisters, as I stated before, ALL manmade systems of religion, all organised religious systems, all make up part and parcel of modern day Babylon, for it gives us the Entire world of Organised Christendom, which intrinsically (by nature) is apostate, being most unfaithful to the revelation of the Holy Bible, which is the revelation of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. They are not faithful to Jesus Christ, and that is why they are called harlots, and that gives us spiritual harlotry, and spiritual idolatry! Why did God call the Nation of Israel a prostitute, a Whore, in a seriously worded rebuke recorded in the Book of Ezekiel Chapter 16, verses 26-44? It is because she is Jehovah's wife, a Nation married to God, but who was unfaithful, worshipping other gods, going into idolatry! The Book of Isaiah 54:5-6, and Isaiah 50:1, confirms her wife status, for it is spiritual harlotry she is guilty of! Now take that and apply it on a spiritual plane,

32 Page 32 April 2017 and you see precisely what harlotry is, for it is to be unfaithful to the Word of God! And since, as it is written, that we cannot serve two masters, and we are servants to whosoever we obey, whether God or Satan, it simply means that to reject or to refuse the Word of God, in any way, not only amounts to being unfaithful to God, it also amounts to serving Satan; because such a person is dancing to the tune of the devil, rather than to the tune of God! It also amounts to spiritual idolatry, and 1 Samuel Chapter 15, verses 22-23, confirms this fact, for it is an absolute truth! Church going people have even forgotten, or it is a case of not caring, that Apostle Paul warned us against Doctrines of devils, doctrines that Churches teach and enforce, even as 1 Timothy Chapter 4, verses 1-4 states: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times, (which is this end time), some shall depart from THE FAITH, GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING SPIRITS, AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, (just as the Roman Catholics do to their priests), AND commanding to abstain from meats, (as the Seventh Day Adventist do, for they forbid the eating of meat), which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. They are just teaching traditions of men, things which lack the revelation of the Word of God. That is why in Saint Mark Chapter 7, Jesus Christ sternly warned whoever has ears to hear, declaring in verses 7-8: Howbeit IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. In verse 13, our Lord and Saviour adds: Making the word of God OF NONE EFFECT THROUGH YOUR TRADITION, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye, which only amounts to vain worship, however much the dedication to God may be, and however great the sacrifices that have been supposedly made for God, may also be! Matthew Chapter 7, verses 21-27, ties right in with this! It is absolutely written: LET GOD BE TRUE, BUT EVERY MAN A LIAR! (Rom. 3:3-4). It simply means this: LET GOD'S WORD BE TRUE, but let every Pope, every Archbishop, every Patriarch, every Preacher, and every Church, be A LIAR, whosoever is in opposition or in contradiction to the Holy Scriptures of God, and to whatever measure it is in contradiction to the written and infallible Word of God! Brothers and sisters, God loves faithfulness, and He rewards faithfulness. But the truth remains, brothers and sisters, and we must all understand, coming back to our central thought, for we are now considering

33 April 2017 God's calling out of Babylon, that Babylon today, at this evening time, has enlarged her borders, for the borders of Babylon is wider than what it was in the Dark Ages, when John saw her in the prophetic vision in 96 AD. How many understand what I am saying? The Roman Catholic Church had not yet existed in 96 AD.; in the day that John saw this vision, the Church of Rome had not yet existed. Therefore, we have to realise that he was transported in the spirit, way into the future, to see this woman, because he had to come to the Fourth Church Age, to see the woman in her prophetic setting. However, we must all realise that she did not start with daughters, for that took time to produce, for it took the Reformation Moves of God, for all those daughters to be formed or born, except the Church of England, also known as the Anglican Communion, which the Americans call the Episcopal Church. I say that because the only Church Organisation that the Reformation Move of God did not give birth to, is the Church of England, because that was created by the desire of the king of England, King Henry VIII, to divorce his wife, Catherine of Aragon, and marry another one, Anne Boleyn, when the Pope said a categorical No! And that is precisely why the head of the Church of England is not God, but it is either the King or Queen of England, whichever one is on the throne! As I said, King Henry VIII, wanted to divorce Queen Catherine of Aragon at all costs, but because she was a devote Catholic, the Pope said no, and so, in order to have another wife by all means, he simply formed his own Church, the Church of England, and made himself the head of it, and forced everyone in his realm to become Anglicans, and many heads were literally chopped off by King Henry VIII, in order to accomplish this! That is precisely why, when you consider the chart of the Bride Tree, and we look at the various blades that were formed on it, you cannot add the Church of England to it as a blade, for it was not born out of a Move of God; it was born by the fleshly desire of a king to re-marry. He was a Page 33 monster, and he either beheaded or divorced his various wives, except the one who succeeded him! However, we must not also forget, that God also used the Church of England that was now formed by King Henry VIII, to further the cause of the Reformation, as she was now a part of the Protestant daughters, having also separated from the Church of Rome, just as the Lutherans, for God uses everything! In other words: Despite the fact that she was formed because of the marital desire of a king, she is still one of the daughters of Rome, one of the major daughters of the Church of Rome, and they have ALL dutifully come back into the fold of their mother, Mama Rome, all being harlots themselves. That gives us the Five Major Daughters of Rome, her Harlot Daughters, and they are the Protestant Churches: The Lutheran Church, influenced by the truth of the Bible which Martin Luther bore in the Reformation; the Presbyterian Church, influenced by the truth of John Calvin; the Baptist Church, influenced by the truth of the Word which

34 Page 34 John Knox carried; and the Methodist Church, influenced by the truth of John Wesley; on and on it goes, including the Seventh Day Adventists, as well as the Jehovah's Witnesses, for they have their place on that Bride Tree, and we have a message on that, titled, Why Continuity? When it comes to the Pentecostals, brothers and sisters, they are still a part of Babylon, which is why they are scattered to the four winds in their branches and beliefs, for there is no end to their branches. Every Pentecostal preacher today forms his own Church, and bears his own ministry, and does his own thing, being what I call, lone rangers ; for everyone has his strange little commission, a canal vision of ministry. This one c l a i m s : G o d commissioned me to raise up champions. Champions of what? Of football, or of rugby? These silly ministers with their silly commissions, and with the stupid things that they carry around! God asked you to raise up champions. Champions of what? What has being a champion got to do with salvation, and getting our souls ready for the rapture, at the return of Jesus Christ? Silly ministries! Saints, I have taken all this time, to lay out the incredible extent of Babylon the Great, for her borders encompasses the whole of Apostate Gentile Christendom, which is the Entire World of organised religion! Period! Brothers and sisters, every Organised Church on earth, including those who say that they are Non- Denominational, Inter- Denominational, or even so-called Independent Churches, are all part of the products of Rome; for as long as they are not subject to the absolute rulership of the inspired and infallible written Word of God, which is the Holy Scriptures, all they have is just a name, one which means nothing, as it changes nothing! Because it is not the name we call ourselves that matters; it is the foundation of our faith that really matters. For if our foundation is not strictly the Solid Rock of the Word of God, we can call ourselves Independent, Non- Denominational, as much as we want to, we are April 2017 simply deceived, and we are going nowhere with the strange fire of doctrines that we are carrying, for they all amount to a Babylonish garment, AND a wedge of gold! Full stop! (Joshua 7:21). That is why, each and every organisation that I have touched upon in this message, have not received even One Jot of New Bible Light, not One Nugget of New Revelation of the Word of God, not One Ounce of Further Light from the Holy Scriptures, as we speak, other or further than what they have always believed, since the founding of their organisation! Now deny and fight that! I say that, because the revelation of the Omnipotent and Omnipresent God, an Infinite God, is essentially progressive, and hence continuous, being absolutely inexhaustible! Consequently, the very fact that all these Churches have not received, and neither have they embraced, one iota of divine revelation of the Holy Bible, other than what they have believed for ages, shows precisely that they are not being ruled or led by

35 April 2017 the Spirit of Truth, which is the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, for as it is infallibly written in John Chapter 16, Jesus Christ declared categorically in verses 12-13: I have yet MANY THINGS to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into ALL TRUTH, (as it is being progressively given by God, and as we move on with God in time): for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: AND HE WILL SHEW YOU THINGS TO COME, (the prophetic things of Jesus Christ, in the various junctions and dispensations of time, ALL within the Grace Age). So, just why are they not being led into any Further Truth of the Word of God, IF indeed they have the Holy Ghost in their lives, and IF indeed He is in their midst?! Why are they as blind as bats to the current prophetic revelation of Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible? Think about that, for this is not a game of Hide and Seek! Saints, I lay before you the full extent of the bounds of Babylon, as she exists today in 2017, for it gives us nothing but the World Church, the Entire World of Apostate Christendom! Think on that seriously, and stay with the Truth! It will do you good, for it is eternal life to your soul, if you do! Brothers and sisters, having laid out what constitutes spiritual Babylon, now come with me to the Book of Revelation Chapter 18, to consider the prophetic message Jesus Christ has for today, at this very end time, for we are living in a similar junction of time to that of Lot in Sodom, which ties in with Luke Chapter 17, verse 30. In Revelation Chapter 18, verses 4-5, it is written: And I heard another voice from heaven, (which is the baritone voice of Elohim God), saying, COME OUT OF HER, my people, (ALL God's elect children), that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities, just as God remembered Sodom, and judged them severely for their grievous iniquity, Page 35 overturning them with Fire and Brimstone, which He rained down upon them from heaven! Saints, we must know that the end of apostasy is death in the Lake of Fire, for there is no remedy for apostasy but death! Furthermore, we have been told, right here in the prophetic revelation of Jesus Christ, that fire will be unleashed upon the Vatican City in Rome, for there is a special squad missile that has her name on it. Revelation Chapter 18 tells us that, but we will leave that aside, for it is not the focus of this message. But the point is this, brothers and sisters: Right here in Revelation Chapter 18, verse 4, at this evening time, this end of Gentle time, just as it was in the evening time in Sodom, the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ similarly sent forth a message. And what is this message? It plainly declares: COME OUT OF BABYLON, just as Lot also cried, COME OUT OF SODOM! The voice of God is saying at this end time: COME OUT OF BABYLON!!! Come out of all man-made religions! Come out of ALL organised systems of religion, because they are leading to death, and the judgment of God is upon her! And as I

36 Page 36 stated earlier on, you must never forget, that the end of apostasy is death in the Lake of Fire, because there is no redemption for apostasy, except total annihilation, which means total death! Therefore, God had to call out His own children, from the Entire world of Babylon. Church, Babylon is so serious, that even the Foolish Virgins will have to come out of her, before it is too late; because the only thing of God that still remains out there as we speak, within organised religious systems, that is, within the borders of Babylon, are the Foolish Virgins, who must and will come out, before it is too late. For when time moves into the Last Week of Daniel, right under the reign of the Antichrist, they will have to get out, and they will have to pay a great price for truth, by sealing their testimony with their blood, for they will be killed. So, what does that show you? The mass of people in Christendom, are nothing but fodder for burning, for they are carnal worshippers, having nothing of God in them at all, being tares, serpent seeds! That is hard, and it is serious, but it is the truth, nonetheless! Otherwise I will ask you: Exactly how many came out of Sodom in that day? Only four souls, and even one of them was turned into a pillar of salt! So, in essence, only three really came out, for only three were saved! And what happened to the rest of the people, not only of Sodom and Gomorrah, but also the people in all the cities in the plain? God burned them all out! How many also entered into the Ark of Noah? Eight souls in total! And what happened to the rest of humanity! God simply washed them away! May I inform this godless, rebellious, and most impudent world: The Judgment of fire is coming! For as fire came down on Sodom and Gomorrah, fire is also coming upon this age, to burn and purge everything! Apostle Peter spoke about it; Prophet Isaiah saw this fire; and Malachi the prophet also spoke of the same fire, for it is coming directly from God, out of heaven. Brothers and sisters, I am making a serious point, because I am going somewhere; and you do not need to be ensnared. Why? Because God has opened up all the snares of the enemy, for the Bride to see, so that we are not taken or trapped, and just as Apostle Paul said, we April 2017 can also rightly say: We are not unaware of the snares of the enemy. (2 Cor. 2:11). Brothers and sisters, you need not be ensnared. There is no reason to be ensnared as an elect Bride seed, one who is following Jesus Christ in a divine revelation, because the scriptural revelation of Jesus Christ puts us one step ahead of the devil, every time, for God always posts His people ahead. Revelation is a great mountain that we climb, and from its top, we can see everything in the valley, everything in the plain, just as Abraham saw everything in the plain, right from the mountain where he stood. How many see the point? Revelation puts us on a great and high mountain, where the eagles of God abide, a vantage point from where we see everything in the valley, and all around, for it gives us perfect aerial survey. When you look at Revelation Chapter 18, verse 4, it is obvious that the religious world has no clue about it. Only the Branham Movement know that that verse is fulfilled. Only those who are following the End Time Message, the message of William Branham, the Elijah-Star Messenger to

37 April 2017 this Seventh and Final Church Age, know that this prophetic verse of Scripture has been fulfilled, for he was the one the Lord used to call us out of the world of organised religion. Unfortunately, as I said before, he is a man whose ministry the denominational world deny, because they think that he should just have stuck with healing the sick, raising the dead, and performing astounding miracles to entertain them, and still allow them to trample down God's Word, when the Spirit or the Anointing of Elijah, is a Spirit of discipline, and a God Identifying Spirit! Yet, they can testify of the unusual miraculous ministry Brother Branham had. Go and take a look on YouTube; he is being talked about a lot there these days. They like the miracles, they appreciate the miracles, and the great level of discernment that he expressed openly and perfectly, and they talk about these miraculous things; but they talk down his ministry, saying that he went into error, or that he went off on a deep end, and all that nonsense, just because he went into teaching; just because he went into a serious unveiling of the Word of God, which he was ordained of God to do! They just cannot see the Promise of Elijah, and that Elijah is not an entertainer, but an upholder of the Word, and a repairer of God's broken-down altar of Truth! He was not sent to heal your sick, raise your dead, open the eyes of your blind, make your deaf to hear and your dumb to speak, so that you can continue to trample God's Word that he was called to restore and defend, as Elijah! Saints, the Spirit of Elijah is not an entertainer, for Elijah is God's warhorse, a spirit of discipline and of judgment, to bring God's people back to the light! They can see the end time signs of the Days of Noah, and that of Sodom, but they cannot see Luke 17:30! They can see the signs of the Days of Noah, compounded with that of Sodom, but they cannot see Revelation 18:4! So, when we consider the prophecy of Revelation Chapter 18, verse 4, only the Branham Movement know that it has been fulfilled. Ask them out there in the Denominational world, and they have not the faintest clue. One of the leading Nigerian preachers who once read one of our Page 37 books a few decades ago, titled, Earth, Earth, Hear The Word Of The Lord, wrote me on it. He is a very nice man though: Evangelist Gbile Akanni. Nice man! I stayed in his house in Gboko for a few days, in the days of my quest for truth, when I had just left the last organisation, before coming into the Message of Elijah, and he and his wife took very good care of me. So, when he read my book, where I touched on the Calling Out contained in Revelation Chapter 18, verse 4, he wrote me to say that it does not mean that we have to literally come out. I found his response most interesting, and I have to ask him: Sir, what does it mean? Because you lost me! When Paul, a former Pharisee, found Jesus Christ, did he remain a Pharisee? No, he did not; for he had to come out, and he came out, literally, for it was not a figurative coming out that he did in that day, as there is no figurative coming out of an organised religious system! Did Paul not run with his two feet? He did! Did he remain a Pharisee? Of course not! So, what does a calling out mean? What does it mean to come out of a religious organisation? The Almighty

38 Page 38 God is saying, Come Out of Babylon, for her judgment is coming; fire is coming, for her sins have reached up to heaven, and you say that it does not mean to literally come out. If you really think that the Lord is speaking of a figurative coming out, then stay in there and sleep: Take a bed in there and sleep! And if it is a water bed that you need, you can buy one, and sleep on it: Sleep in Babylon, and enjoy yourself, for you are not making sense! Come on! I say that to make a point, and to wake somebody up, because to Come out means to come out: It does not need any interpretation, because it is simply to run for your life, IF you value your life, for not everybody does! That is a fact, for the seeds of Cain care not a dime! So, I am making a point. We hear a voice, a message, the message of Revelation Chapter 18, verse 4, proclaiming loudly: COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE! That is the prophetic message of Jesus Christ to this Last Age, and it is mercy calling; because before judgment could fall on Babylon, God first had to send a mercy call. Before God destroyed Sodom, God also sent a mercy call, to as many as would hear the calling out message that Lot bore in that day, at that evening time, in Sodom. In the same vein, because there is perfect harmony and consistency in the ways of God, as well as in His judgment, God could not judge spiritual Babylon, without first sending a mercy call to the whole realm of Babylon, which is the entire world of organised religion, and that was precisely what God used William Branham to accomplish, and that also ties his ministry to Luke Chapter 17, verse 30! That is why that man carried a message to the entire world, telling them to come out of Man-made systems, for they are all apportioned for death, and are all leading to slaughter (spiritual death), at the end of the road! He cried out with all his might, declaring: COME OUT OF BABYLON! COME OUT! COME OUT OF ALL ORGANISED SYSTEMS OF RELIGION! COME BACK INTO THE LIGHT OF JESUS CHRIST OF THE HOLY BIBLE! COME BACK TO THE WORD OF GOD!! FLEE FROM THE WRATH TO COME!!! What was that? It was mercy calling! Hence, he April 2017 cried: Come out of Roman Catholicism, with all her forms of deception, and drop all these pagan, idolatrous, traditions and ceremonies, for they have no soul saving value! She is only giving you a sanctimonious religious feeling, one that is as worthless as a piece of toilet paper, spiritually speaking, weighed on the scale of eternal life, because eternal life comes strictly through the scriptural revelation of Jesus Christ!! THE LORD SAYS COME OUT OF BABYLON!!! Now listen closely, brothers and sisters, for this is where my warning anchors. If you are going to come out, then, I must remind you tonight, for the Lord is moving me to warn you: REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE! If you are going to come out, in coming out, you had better REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE, who was turned into a pillar of salt! The Master took that divine judgment of Mrs. Lot, and gave it an end time prophetic application, declaring plainly and categorically: Remember Lot's wife! That warning, saints, is majorly or primarily (principally) written to the Branham Movement, and by the grace of God, the Lord in

39 April 2017 His characteristic love and mercy, is moving me to lift up this prophetic warning, and send it to you all, and likewise, it is a mercy call: REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE! And who are the people being warned in this prophetic verse of Scripture? They are a people, who at this evening time, have been called out of Roman Catholicism, the mother of ALL harlots, and from ALL man-made religious systems on earth, which together make up Babylon. Because in the world of organised systems of religion, ALL roads lead back to MAMA ROME, which is Babylon the Great! Church, that is why God had to anoint a man with a message to call out of Babylon, just as Lot carried a message to call out of Sodom. This is Lot, (Brother Amos points to the chart), taking his two daughters with him, because his wife was turned into a pillar of salt. Saints, only three souls were saved, and the fourth one that would have been saved, became a memorial for all time, particularly for this end time. I repeat: Mrs. Lot became a memorial, a prophetic memorial, for those living at this end time, where we have a live reenactment in the earth, of the terrible conditions of the Days of Noah, compounded with that of the horrible Days of Lot, those who are similarly called out of spiritual Sodom, which is Babylon! And in that day, Mrs. Lot came out, quite alright, but SHE FAILED TO FOLLOW TRUTH ALL THE WAY! And because of this, Jesus Christ, looking down through the binocular of the Spirit of God to this Laodicean Age, warned prophetically: Remember Lot's wife. Now note: Her problem was not about coming out, for she came out; her problem was with the Word, and hence, she refused to follow the Word of God, ALL the way. Therefore, let me warn you tonight: It is good you came out; it is very good that you came out; but if you will not continue to walk in the light of Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible, which is God's Light, you will not come into life eternal. Period! That is a very solemn warning, and I say it because this Continuing AND Climaxing Light of the Holy Scriptures, is the exclusive road that leads up to the meeting with Jesus Christ in the air, on the day of rapture. For at the very end of this revealed way, at the end of this Progressive Page 39 Revelation Way, is our Lord Jesus Christ, just as laid out on our chart. But you first have to come out of Babylon, and all of us have come out from one system of religion or the other, and we have thrown away all these hand-me-down traditions of men, in order to follow Jesus Christ, in a true divine revelation of the Word of God. Brothers and sisters, this road gives us the Progressive, and hence, the Continuing revelation of Jesus Christ, and until we meet with him, he will keep revealing himself to his Bride. If he does not keep revealing himself to us, then our Jesus is not alive; our Jesus is dead, because it is a dead Jesus who cannot continue to reveal himself, as it takes a living Christ to do so; but we all know that Jesus Christ is alive. In Acts Chapter 9, when Jesus Christ came to reveal himself to Saul of Tarsus, he called out to Saul, and Saul heard his voice saying: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? because he can speak, for he is not dead, but alive! Saul asked, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered and said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the

40 Page 40 pricks. Listen to me now. In that day, Jesus Christ showed himself to be alive; he showed himself to be real. Are you listening to me? That is why Apostle Paul could carry the message that he carried, because Jesus met with him, and spoke to him, for he is alive. Apostle Paul declared in 1 Corinthians Chapter 11: The same night Jesus Christ was betrayed, he took bread, and he could say that, because he met Jesus! Jesus met with him, and Jesus spoke to him face to face, in a revelation, because our Saviour is alive! Yes, you will tell me that it is the angel of the Lord who characterised Jesus Christ in that day, but it is still Jesus that was characterised and expressed, and he spoke in the first person as Christ, because it is all about Jesus! Jesus met him, and he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest, showing that our Jesus is living. Church, he revealed himself to Saul of Tarsus! And let me warn you tonight, Jesus tonight, in 2017, is not dead, but he is still alive! Therefore, and this is my point, if he could reveal himself to the First Church Age; if he could reveal himself to Saint Paul, as well as to the Bride in that Age, why will he not also reveal himself now to his Bride in this Last Age, when we are the ones ordained for the rapture?! How much more now do we need his living revelation, because we are not serving a dead Christ: We are serving a living Christ! And if Christ be alive, his revelation must be continuous, for he is alive. Consequently, he must keep showing us the way, he must keep leading us on in the light, until we meet him in the air, to be eternally united with him in a holy marriage, right up there in heaven. Therefore, until we meet him, brothers and sisters, his revelation must continue. Let me therefore warn you: If you come out of Babylon, and you refuse to walk in this continuous way, you will not meet Jesus in the sky, and your end will be like that of Mrs. Lot! Because all those who came out of Sodom, had to follow the full light that Lot was given for their salvation: Do not look back, walk straight on, and run for your life, and continue on until you get to the mountain! And there was continuity to getting to the mountain. Lot broke the journey in two, but in the end, he still had to continue April 2017 on to the mountain, for there was no safety anywhere else! He found out later that there was no safety anywhere in the plain. And what did he do? He had to continue on until he got to the mountain. Halleluiah! There is no place of rest and security, except in the divine revelation of Jesus Christ! So, if you are going to come out, you had better follow Jesus in his continuous divine scriptural revelation! You have to keep following until you see him! If you do not follow him in his continuous light, you will be worse off for coming out. Do you know what God is also going to do to you? He is going to turn you into a spiritual or figurative pillar of salt! That simply means, brothers and sisters, that your spiritual life will caput, and I will tell you exactly where you will wind up. Because we have to now ask: What was the difference in the case of Mrs. Lot, and the people who were destroyed in Sodom? How many see the point? It was not different, because she still perished! The only difference however, is that she left the boundaries of Sodom, but she never made it through to safety. She still faced the same judgment that the

41 April 2017 Sodomites faced, which was death; but it was death in utter rebellion against the Word of God that she professed to have received, and she had no reason to disobey! She could not get Sodom out of her heart, for Sodom was in her heart. That is why Jesus is warning us to Remember Lot's wife, because it is one thing leaving the world of organised religion, but if the spirit that rules organised religious systems is in your heart, your case will be more terrible. Now this is the highlight of this message, and so please pay close attention. It is one thing coming out of Babylon; thank God that you came out of Babylon, which is spiritual Sodom; thank God you did! But you can come out, and the spirit that is behind organised religion, can still be ruling your life, and as a result, you will be worse off; and I am going to prove it to you, and close my message. Brothers and sisters, it is good to come out of manmade systems of religion; it is good to drop all the creeds, dogma, carnal interpretations, and traditions of men, and follow Jesus Christ in his divine scriptural revelation; it is good to hear the voice of the Master, saying: Come out of Sodom! Come out of Babylon!, and to come out! It is very good to come out: But you have got to follow the Lord Jesus Christ in his Continuing divine revelation of the Word, as Christ is revealed solely in his Word, and because you are not safe except in HIS PRESENT TENSE LIGHT, his present tense revelation, as that is the standard of God against every onslaught and every move of the devil, the adversary of our souls! Saints, it is not over until it is all over, and as such, we must continue on in the Word of God, until we see Jesus, for as the Master declared categorically, that is the only way we will be his true disciples. This truth is recorded in the Gospel of Saint John Chapter 8, verses 31-32: Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, IF YE CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Brothers and sisters, there is continuity to the scriptural revelation of Jesus Christ, as we cannot know God enough, we being finite (limited) Page 41 creatures, and God's revelation being infinite (unlimited). Therefore, the proof of true discipleship, is the ability to follow the Lord, in the continuity of his divine revelation of the W o r d o f G o d! Consequently, it is good leaving Babylon, but I pray that you do not get caught up with the spirit of organised religion. What do I mean by that? And what is even the spirit of organised religion? Now listen very carefully. The spirit of organised religion, is a spirit that is Anti the Word of God, (against the Word of God), being the spirit of Satan, and as such, it is a spirit that cannot subject itself to the rulership of the Word of God, (it is not subject to the headship of the Word of God). In other words, the spirit of organised religion, is an antichrist spirit, and antichrist means one that opposes Christ. Jesus Christ, as we all know, is the Word of God. (John 1:1,14; Rev. 19:13). The spirit of the antichrist, therefore, is the spirit of the devil, which opposes the W o r d o f G o d. Consequently, to be anti- Word is to be anti-christ, because God wants to rule His people, and He rules His people strictly by His

42 Page 42 Word, because He (God) is invisible, being a sovereign eternal spirit. So, he expects that all His children will subject themselves in total obedience to His revelation, as He reveals Himself to them continuously, that they may know Him more and more, ALL according to the infallible Blueprint of His written Word, the Holy Bible, which is the exclusive foundation and standard of revealed truth. (Isaiah 8:20; Psalm 138:2; Rom. 10:17). On the other hand, when a person or group of persons come together in fellowship, and they will not allow themselves to be ruled unreservedly by the Holy Scriptures; when they will not subject themselves to the full and unquestionable authority of the Word of God, there is only one spirit responsible for that horrible and rebellious attitude, and that is the spirit of the antichrist, which is the spirit of Satan, an opposer of God, and of all righteousness! In John Chapter 8, Jesus Christ unmasked the spirit of Satan, declaring to the Jews in verses 43-44: Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not IN THE TRUTH, because THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: FOR HE IS A LIAR, AND THE FATHER OF IT ; (he is the originator of lies, the manufacturer of all falsehood, all error, all untruths)! So, by this Scripture, we know that Satan is the opposer of truth, for he cannot take truth, and neither does he have any truth to give, except lies, falsehood! Consequently, when two or more people purportedly come together to worship God, and they will not allow the Word of God to have the Final Say, on ALL matters o f T r u t h a n d Righteousness, on all matters of doctrine and beliefs, it is only because they are not being ruled by the Holy Spirit, for as it is written in John Chapters 14, 15, and 16, THE HOLY SPIRIT LEADS INTO ALL TRUTH ; they are being ruled by the spirit of the antichrist, for it is a spirit that rejects the rulership of God, by rejecting the rulership of His Word. Period! Such groups of people, such assemblies, April 2017 or such churches, become man-established (manmade), man-controlled, man-ruled, and man-led assemblies, where men determine what they will take, and what they will not take, from the Word of God; also, what they will allow, and when, regardless of what the Holy Scriptures say, and Satan is certainly the one behind such carnal rebellious thoughts. That is an Organised Church, and it is nothing but Satan's wife! Because it is Satan working silently within Christendom, to create the World Church, one that is subject to his lies, and one that will defy the Word of God that they profess to believe! That is why these Churches are ruled by men who are devoid of the Holy Spirit; men devoid of the Spirit of Truth; men using their little canary brains to determine what you can believe, and what you cannot believe, within their own borders, however scripturally sound and true a teaching may be. They say by their stout and defiant stand: God, you can stay where you are! We rule this kingdom! We are not interested in knowing anything you may have concealed in your Word! We do not need any more revelation that you may

43 April 2017 have! So, it really does not matter what the Bible says, their organisation does not believe it, and they are not even interested, and yet, they say that they are a Christian Church! It does not matter how plainly it is written in the Holy Bible, and how clearly you are able to lay it out before them. They will simply tell you: You see, in our Church, we do not believe that. It is only because that Church is not a Church of God, but an Organised Church, a part and parcel of Babylon, for the True Church of God will follow nothing but the Word of God! That Church is only a setup of the devil; it is an organised system, one that is ruled by men with their little bird brains; men who have not the Spirit of God, which is the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter, the Spirit of the Word. They have a spirit that defies the Word of God, and that is nothing but the spirit of the Antichrist; for as I stated earlier, to be anti-word is to be anti- Christ. The spirit that established organised religion is the spirit of Lucifer, and he does it by opposing the Word of God, both subtly as well as openly, just as the serpent opposed God's Word to Eve, and Eve bought a lie of the devil, and as a result, she brought death upon all men. Brothers and sisters, Organised Churches are not subject to the Word of God, and they can never be made subject to the Word of God, regardless of what anyone does, and regardless of what comes and goes, and it shows evidently, that it is the devil that is behind their establishment! Period! When people come together, and write their articles of faith, what they will believe and not believe, stating how far they will go with the Holy Scriptures, putting a full stop to their Faith, you are looking at an organised system of religion, for it is ruled by the spirit of the anti-christ, which is an anti-word spirit! That is why they have councils, synods, and earthly headquarters set over them, where men determine the bounds in which God Almighty can operate! Whereas, under God, every local assembly is independent and sovereign, as in the Early Church, where all we had were Sister Churches, not branches of a Parent Church, for there was no Parent Church, except Sister Churches; it is not so with Organised Churches, who have earthly Parent Page 43 Churches, serving as headquarters, with branches all over creation. Saints, that is most unlike what we see Jesus establish in the Early Church, as revealed in the Book of Acts, which was why the Church in Galatia, was not subject to that in Ephesus, for she was a Sister Church, and neither was the Church in Ephesus, subject to the Church in Jerusalem, for they were all Sister Churches, and were all bounded together by the pure revelation of the Word of God, AND by the Spirit of Grace. Furthermore, they were ALL led and controlled by the Holy Spirit, moving freely amongst them in signs and wonders, as well as in the divine revelation of Jesus Christ, working directly from our headquarters which is up there in heaven, from where Jesus rules his Church, working through a Live Ephesian Fivefold Ministry, of Holy Ghost filled, and Holy Ghost led men, who worked, taught, and lived, strictly by the Word of God, because THE WORD IS GOD'S ABSOLUTE, AND IS THE BLUEPRINT FOR HIS CHURCH! Because God wants to deal with His children around the globe,

44 Page 44 when He wants, and as He wants, without any human censorship! Therefore, when you come out of Sodom or Babylon, which is the world of organised religion, to follow Jesus Christ in the light of truth, then, you are under a divine obligation to keep on walking with him, in his continuous light, because the revelation of God is progressive and not static (not stagnant), but ever progressive! And if you refuse to walk with the Lord Jesus Christ in his continuous light, it only shows that the spirit of Sodom, which is the spirit of Babylon, the spirit of organised religion, is also ruling your life. Period! That is why you refuse further light! We have to be subject to the rulership of the Holy Spirit, and He rules strictly by the Word of God. Therefore, it means that we must be subject unreservedly to the Word of God! Are you listening to me? My authority over you, is no more than what the Bible allows, because we are all bound by the Word of God, as the children of God. I repeat: I have no more rulership over you; I have no more authority over you, than the authority which the Word of God gives to me; for we can only rule by the Word, and strictly according to the Word of God. And when we do that, that is, when we rule strictly by the Scriptures of Truth, which is the Word of God, it is not man that is ruling, but it is God that is ruling, and we all know that God rules BY HIS WORD. And if it is the Word of God that is ruling our lives, then we have nothing to fear, for we are blessed and secure from all alarms, as God is the one ruling our lives. So, let me now sound a warning, as I slowly bring my message to a close. If you say you have left Babylon, the world of organised systems of religion, and that you are following the End Time Message of Elijah, although you may not organise, (because you do not have any headquarters set up), but IF in your ministry, or in your local assembly, you refuse to follow the leadership of truth, you are most certainly being ruled by the spirit that is behind organised religion. Absolutely! For instance, in January 1963, William Branham proclaimed in his message titled, SPIRIT OF TRUTH: There will rise somebody after me, April 2017 that'll take the Message on. He'll be an odd person, but he'll rise after this and take the Message on. And you listen to it. As long as it's Scripture, stay with it. He made that open proclamation, because it is not about himself, but it is all about Jesus the Christ! The Message of Life that we have received, the Message of Calvary, is more than a man; it is more than William Branham! That was why he warned: Another Lead Ministry WILL RISE AFTER THIS and take the Message on. And you listen to it. AS LONG AS IT'S SCRIPTURE, STAY WITH IT, showing us in crystal clear terms, that we all need to be subject to the rulership of the Holy Scriptures, and not behave like people in organised systems of religion, the Protestant Harlot Daughters of the Great Whore, who stoutly refuse to accept any ounce of further light, beyond the truth that their founder brought! Brother Branham openly and loudly declared: THE BIBLE IS MY ABSOLUTE. He also said: THE BIBLE IS THE ABSOLUTE OF A TRUE BELIEVER! Because every true believer will

45 April 2017 subject himself to the rulership of the Holy scriptures, because it is the Word of God, for he knows undoubtedly, that to defy the Word of God is to defy God! Consequently, brothers and sisters, IF you defy the Word of God, it is God Himself that you defy, because God is not here in flesh and blood, for any man to see Him and show Him respect! The respect you show to the Holy Scriptures, is the respect you show to God; and when you defy the Holy Scriptures, you defy God! When you reject the Scriptures, you actually reject your Maker! So, when the Branham Movement, who have come out from Babylon, just as Mrs. Lot came out of Sodom, now refuse the rulership of the Word, there is only one spirit motivating that: It is the very spirit that produced the Church of Rome! Exactly! They can condemn Roman Catholicism all they want, but I tell you now, their case will be worse than that of the Roman Catholics, unless they repent! Because it is written in Luke Chapter 12, verses 47-48: And that servant, which KNEW his lord's will, (because it has been SHOWN him), and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with MANY STRIPES. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with FEW stripes. FOR UNTO WHOMSOEVER MUCH IS GIVEN, OF HIM SHALL BE MUCH REQUIRED: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. In other words: Unto whom much is given, much will be demanded! The Roman Catholics are simply ignorant; but the Branham Movement are not ignorant, for the truth has been made very plain to them in the message of Elijah. They are guilty of wilful unbelief, for that is their problem, and they will pay a serious price for their blatant unbelief! They will pay a serious price for wilful unbelief of the Word, because they are not ignorant, and as such, they have no excuse! So, on the authority of the Word, a lesser punishment will come upon the Roman Catholics than the Branham Movement, and that is precisely why the Master warned, speaking prophetically: REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE! She came out of Sodom, but the spirit that Page 45 ruled Sodom, also controlled her soul, and she manifested the same attribute to the Word, which the people of Sodom manifested, which is rebellion, out of unbelief, and she paid a great price! So, yes, we can also come out of organised systems of religion, and follow the message of Elijah, but the spirit that is behind organised religion can also be in our hearts, ruling our lives! Yes, it can, and that is why we need to be very careful, and listen to the voice of truth! That is why we are crying today to the Branham Movement: REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE! That verse of Scripture, Luke Chapter 17, verse 32, as I have already shown, is a message directed majorly to the Branham Movement, than to anybody else in the entire religious world! Because that warning in verse 32, is tied to verse 30, which gives us the days of the manifestation of the Prophetic Ministry of Jesus Christ, The Son of man! It is a verse of Scripture that is also carrying a prophetic content, which is why Jesus warned: REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE. You had better remember Lot's wife, brothers and sisters, because she

46 Page 46 allowed the spirit of Sodom to rule her life. She came out of Sodom, but the spirit of Sodom, the spirit that controlled Sodom, ruled her life, and turned her back to Sodom. Do not forget, that she had to have first turned back in her heart, before she did the physical turn, showing precisely the state of her heart! Brothers and sisters, the fruit or product of her conduct, showed what was in her heart. So, brethren you can leave Sodom, and Sodom can still be in you; you can leave the Denomination, and you can still be Denominational in your heart, in your attitude to the Word of God, which simply means that you can have a Denominational spirit! What is a Denominational spirit? It is the spirit of rebellion against God's Word; a spirit that is not subject to the absolute control of the Word of God. And that is precisely the spirit that founded the very first organised church that we have on this planet, which is the Roman Catholic Church; and it is also the same spirit behind ALL organised churches on this planet, and that is the antichrist spirit! Therefore, when you rebel against the rulership of God's Word, or when you are not subject to the rulership of the Holy Scriptures, just how are you different from the Church of Rome? It is the same spirit that is ruling your life, even though you came out! You may say, Brother Amos, I am not organised. Good for you! Mrs. Lot was also not organised, and moreover, she could also boast: I came out of Sodom! But what was the use of her coming out? Her case was worse, because she had no excuse, and whereas God simply destroyed Sodom, and wiped out the people of Sodom, Mrs. Lot, in her case, became a memorial; and now, we even have her on our chart tonight, standing as a prophetic message! The Spirit of God is crying out at this end time: COME OUT OF HER, my people! COME OUT OF BABYLON!!! That voice is what brought us out. Brother Ehis, that is also what brought you out today. You heard a voice, an audible voice, a voice sounding out from a ball of light, and you must know that that light is Jesus Christ, as it is the same light that struck Saul of Tarsus, on his way to Damascus. My brother, you heard a voice, and a light come to you. How do you look at it? April 2017 You must understand, that that is our Lord Jesus, applying Revelation Chapter 18, verse 4, to your life, because God loves you! Nobody gave you that encounter, but the Lord Himself. Jesus Christ came and applied Revelation Chapter 18, verse 4, to you, telling you in plain terms: I told you, COME OUT! And because of that divine encounter, you are now here, basking under the light of the Word. I did not know you had any such experience until today, and it was just before service started, that you shared the testimony with me; and look at what we are preaching tonight! Just look at when you are giving me this testimony, just before service, and to think that you did not know that I was going to preach on this subject; but the God of providence, moved you to share your testimony with me today, at the right time, exactly when it was needed! Our God is simply awesome! Church, a ball of light came to our brother one night. He was very scared, and the light said: You are being rebellious! I told you to COME OUT OF THAT CHURCH. Go to Bajulaye Church, and STAY THERE! It is a voice that he heard, and that

47 April 2017 proves, brothers and sisters, that Revelation 18:4, is still sounding to as many of God's children that are still out there, who are ordained to be in the Bride of Christ. It is good to have you in this revealed way, my brother. You are most welcome to the straight and narrow way! Brothers and sisters, I am at the end of my message, but I have just a few more points to make, and we will close. I appreciate your patience. As I must continue to warn you, most especially those in the Branham Movement: It is good to leave Sodom; it is very good to come out of Babylon; but you had also better be careful, and make sure that the spirit that rules organised systems of religion, is not controlling your life. When you cannot submit to the rulership of the truth; when you cannot follow Jesus Christ in his continuous scriptural revelation, you have a problem, a very big problem! Now you have the same spirit that produced Roman Catholicism, which is Mama Rome! Now tell me you are different! Because you say, I do not believe in Three Gods, but in One God, who is Elohim; I also believe in Water baptism by full immersion, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mrs. Lot could say all that as well! Having come out of Sodom, on her way to the mountain, she could definitely say, I came out. Thank God that I have come out. Yes, I believe the message: There will be total destruction tonight. The two angels of destruction are here, and they are going to destroy this place tonight. Our safety is in the mountain. She could say all that, for she also came out! Moreover, she could even testify how the angels blinded those moral perverts, and shut the door, and they became blind, and were not able to find the door. What testimonies she could bear, testimonies which the Sodomites could not bear, all because she followed the message of the hour! But with all that testimony, she was turned into a pillar of salt, and in 33 AD., our Lord picked it up, and warned: Remember Lot's wife. Why? Because the warning is about a spirit, for you can leave Sodom, but Sodom may not leave your heart; you can leave Sodom, but the spirit of Sodom may still control your life. You can come out of organised religion, but also make sure Page 47 that the spirit that is behind organised religion is not affecting your life; make sure that that spirit is not ruling your life; make sure that you subject yourself to the truth, the whole truth, as God is giving it. That simply means, that whenever you hear truth, the truth of the Word of God, you must follow it, irrespective of who says it, because truth is truth; it does not have to come from Brother Amos. Why not? It is simply because the Word of the cross of Calvary, is not about Brother Amos, it is about Jesus Christ, who is revealed in the Holy Scriptures! Therefore, you should be able to see truth for what it is, when it projects, and from whosoever it projects, and follow that light, for truth is truth! You have got to follow that light, because if you do not, you are no different to the people worshipping in organised systems of religion, out of which you came. No, they have not followed this message, and you can also say they do not know what you know, because they have not followed this light; but what is the value of the message in your life, if you still have the same attitude they have out there in the organised systems, towards the truth

48 Page 48 of the Word of God? Think about it! That is why I said, if you follow, IF you come out, make sure that you are walking on one road, and one road only: The Road of Continuity Revelation; THE PROGRESSIVE REVELATION WAY! Make sure of that, because anything else amounts at the end, to becoming a pillar of salt, figuratively speaking! Because when you were called out, you were not called out to walk in your own cunningly devised way! When they were called out in that day, they were given direction to the mountain, and they had to follow that light, right up to the mountain. And when we are called out tonight, it is by a message, a message of life sent to prepare a Bride in readiness for the return of Jesus Christ, one that is acceptable to Jesus Christ. In other words: She will be a Bride who has attained the statural spiritual image of Jesus Christ our Bridegroom, without creeds, without dogma, and without traditions of men, because IN Jesus, there is No Leaven, and as such, you must all know that he will not marry A WOMAN WITH LEAVEN. And when you refuse the rulership of the scriptural revelation of Jesus Christ, it shows that you have leaven in your life, for it is that spirit of leaven that is making you reject the Word of God, for leaven defiles and defies the truth. And if Jesus will not be your Lord, he will not be your Saviour either. Now, tell me on what basis will you not take the Mark of the Beast, in the Last Week of Daniel?! I will close with the picture we find under the Fourth Seal, recorded in Revelation Chapter 6, which gives us the fourth horse rider, the horse of death. Verses 7-8, states: And when he (Christ) had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: AND his name that sat on him was Death, AND Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. So, I ask: What is this horse? It is the horse that the spirit of the Anti- Christ is riding in this Final Church Age, this Laodicean Church Age. I will also tell you what the body of that horse is made of, for this horse is a beast that someone is clearly April 2017 riding on, and his name is death. Prophetically speaking, the body of this pale horse, (a grey horse, which is neither white nor black, speaking of grand deception), gives us nothing, but the Entire World Church: Roman Catholicism PLUS Protestantism. That is what makes up the body of the horse which Death is riding; that is what constitutes the grey horse! The body of this horse, (Brother Amos points to the chart), gives us nothing other than Roman Catholicism AND Protestantism. That lets you see, that the grey horse which the antichrist is ruling over, a spirit now called Death, is nothing other than the whole of Apostate Christendom, for that is precisely what he is riding: The antichrist is riding the entire world of organised religion, for it is utterly apostate! Oh, Brother Amos, well, I thank God that I do not belong to the Roman Catholic Organisation, nor to the Protestant Organisations! Thank God I came out of Babylon! Yes, but you forget that Mr. Death is pulling something behind him, for as it is written: And HELL followed with him. Death is pulling all of Hell along with him, and

49 April 2017 that is precisely the projection we have on our chart. So, now I ask you, and you tell me: All those who come out of Babylon, but who are still ruled by the spirit that is behind organised religion, where exactly are they going to wind up? Where do you put them? I will tell you now: No, they are not going to be turned into pillars of salt as God did to Mrs. Lot in that day. They will have something more, because they are going to take the Mark of the Beast, and they are also going to make up this batch of hell, that is being pulled by the pale horse rider! This is precisely where they are coming; they are going to make up this batch of hell. (Brother Amos points to the chart). Think about that! No, they do not make up part of the body of the grey horse; but nevertheless, they make up the bunch of hell that followed with him (who is Death)! So, you can thank God all you want, and bless His Name, saying: Oh, Praise the Lord! Thank God for Malachi 4! Thank God for the Message! Let me warn you: If you fail to follow Jesus in his continuous revelation of the Holy Bible, as he keeps revealing himself with the passage of time, and as he keeps leading us to himself, you will end up in this gathering of hell! Period! Because Jesus Christ is our mountain of life and security, for in his divine revelation is our safety, as he is the rock of our salvation, the mountain of our salvation! If you refuse to follow Jesus in his continuous revelation of the Word of God, as a person who has come out of Babylon, take it from me, you will end up in this crowd. (Brother Amos points to the chart). That lets you see, that every person ordained for hell, who are not part of the body of the grey horse, are right here. How many see the point? Anybody and everybody, who is not part of the body of the pale horse, which is made up of the Roman Catholic Organisation, and the Protestant Organisations, are being pulled in another crowd, by the evil spirit that is riding this grey horse rider, and that rider is death. It gives us the spirit of the Antichrist, showing us precisely where he is heading straight towards, for he is riding straight to the Lake of Fire! So, tell me, that the end time application of the judgment of Mrs. Lot, is not worse Page 49 than being turned into a pillar of salt! Yes, we all know that it is spirits that we find in hell; but what are you going to do with the souls of those who come out of Babylon, but who reject the instruction of life that the same message conveys? Where are you going to put their souls? You have to put them right there in this crowd of hell, whom death is pulling with him, for just as Mrs. Lot was judged with death, so are these also now judged with death! My, oh my! How perfect is the revelation of God, and how perfect are His judgments! Are you listening to me? That is why, brothers and sisters, in the Last Week of Daniel, when the Bride of Christ is gone to the marriage supper in heaven, the so-called followers of the message of Elijah, people who are left behind here on earth, will gladly take the Mark of the Beast, and Bow to the Pope with joy, for that is the reward of their unbelief of the Word that has been made plain to them by the prophet to this age! I need to warn you, that the only thing that empowers a person to not take the Mark of the Beast, is what they are rejecting now, which is The Spirit OF TRUTH. As long as you reject the Spirit of Truth, by

50 Page 50 rejecting the Continuity Light of Jesus Christ, as someone who came out of Babylon, on our way to Glory Land, I guarantee you, you have nothing with which to resist the devil from the mark, when the time comes, because you are already under the spirit of delusion! I guarantee you that! So, brothers and sisters, it is a great privilege to be called into this light; but do not play with the Word of God, for this is not a game. This is a battle for life eternal, and the enemy of our soul, Satan, is also standing in serious opposition as a hungry lion, and as such, outside of the firm and faithful followership of Jesus Christ, in his constant and continuous revelation of the Holy Bible, this hungry lion must devour you! It must devour you, because we have no prevailing power over Satan and his hosts, outside of the power of the one who died for us on the cross of Calvary, whose revelation you have trampled underfoot, sinning wilfully, thereby sealing your eternal destiny! How can you come out of Babylon into the End Time Message, a Message of Truth, and you were warned by the Messenger IN his Message, that someone will come after him, to take the Bible Light of Jesus Christ ON, and that you are to listen to it, AND YOU STOUTLY R E F U S E H I S CONTINIUTY LIGHT, despite the clarity and the astounding depth with which the Continuing Truth has been presented by that ministry, if it is not that your heart is ruled by the spirit of the antichrist, the same spirit that is ruling Babylon?! Think about it! Let us close with the prophetic message of the Lord recorded in the Book of Revelation Chapter 1. Just look at what Jesus Christ laid out in verses 1-3: The Revelation OF JESUS CHRIST, which God gave unto him, (Jesus Christ), to shew unto his SERVANTS things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified (delivered) it by his angel unto his servant JOHN: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the April 2017 time is at hand. Now Church, what is the use in saying that you believe in Jesus Christ, but you will not follow his prophetic revelation, one which is supposed to post you prophetically at this very end of time, giving you the understanding of how God will move for the glorification of the Elect Bride, and also show you precisely how the devil will move in this Last Age, in order to keep you from his snares, as Satan moves in grand deception, and you are as blind as a bat to this truth? And yet you claim to be walking with Jesus, and that you have his revelation. Incredible, is it not? Now, consider very seriously what the Master says in Revelation Chapter 22, beginning from verse 16: I Jesus have sent mine angel TO TESTIFY UNTO YOU THESE THINGS IN THE CHURCHES, and the Churches are totally blind, and are as ignorant as dogs, who know nothing of God! But they can say, Oh, I believe Jesus. Jesus is my Lord and Saviour. The Lord knows that I live a holy life. Mrs. Lot was also holy! She was not a bisexual, and neither was she a lesbian, and she was just as holy. But inspite of all that

51 April 2017 holiness, she was turned into a pillar of salt, because she did not follow all the revelation of the Lord God Almighty! You even forget that righteousness is an imputation, for it is not of works, which is precisely why many holy people are going to be in the Lake of Fire. Do you not know, a lot of holy people will be in the Lake of Fire? Do you know why they will end up in that Lake? It is because they reject the truth of the Word of God! Do you not remember the case of the young ruler, who came to Jesus Christ, and asked: What can I do to obtain eternal life? Something deep down in his soul told him that he did not have eternal life! Jesus said, Okay, do not steal, do not fornicate And he said, I have kept all that since I was a young man. And the Bible says that Jesus loved him; he admired him. What a dedicated and holy life! But upon all that, did he have eternal life? No! There was a solution to his problem, only one solution to his problem, for the Lord Jesus saw covetousness deep down in his heart, hindering his true walk with God. So, the Master told him, Go and sell all that you have, and come and follow me, and you will have eternal life. But that solution was too much for him to accept, as he could not sell all, and follow Christ, for he had too much wealth. May I warn you: If you cannot sell all, and deny yourself in order to follow Christ, the Holy Scriptures declare unambiguously that you are not worthy of eternal life! Brothers and sisters, you know the end of the story. Yet he was very holy; he lived a holy life, and Jesus saw that, and admired him! Revelation Chapter 22, verse 16, states: I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit (of the Lord) and the Bride say, COME. The Spirit of Jesus Christ and the Bride say the same thing; they say Come. It shows that they are one, because they have one mind, for the Bride has the mind of Christ, and as such, they say the same thing. Jesus did not say, Come, and the Bride say, No, not yet. Go for now. And the Spirit and the Bride say, COME. That lets us see that the Spirit and the Bride are one, and they are giving out an invitation, and we Page 51 have a message on that in the Scribe titled, The Invitation. She says the same thing with the Spirit, simply because the voice of the Spirit is in the Bride; the voice of the Bridegroom is in the Bride. That is why tonight, we are in the Inner Chamber of revealed Truth, where our Bridegroom is getting himself engaged to us his Bride, and he is revealing himself to us on an unparalleled level. Let me finish up verse 17: And let him that heareth say, Come. (Let him say the same thing with the Bride). And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Verses 18-19: For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of This Book (of Revelation), If any man shall ADD unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall TAKE AWAY from the words of the book of this prophecy, (by act or omission, passively or impassively, actively or inactively), God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written

52 Page 52 in this book. Brothers and sisters, that is a very serious passage of Scripture, and it lets us know undoubtedly, that you cannot trample the prophetic revelation of Jesus Christ, and come into life. How many see the point? But the fundamental question is this: Just how can you fulfil the prophetic revelation laid out in this Book; how can you walk in the light of it, when you have no clue to what it means? How can you do what you do not know? And then you say, Brother Branham preached it all. But Brother Branham did not preach on the Seven Vials in this prophetic Book; he did not preach on the Seven Trumpets in the Book of Revelation. You say, It is for the Nation of Israel. Then, why did Jesus send this revelation to the Gentile Bride? Why did he send his angel to John, and asked John to write, and send it to the Seven Churches of Asia, Seven Gentile Churches? Why did he send it to the Gentile Bride, if we are not to understand it, if we are truly meant to be ignorant of its revelation? Oh, Brother Amos, but it takes a prophet to reveal its truth. But it was an apostle that brought it in the first place! So, why will it take a prophet to reveal it? The greatest prophetic Book in the Entire Bible did not come by a prophet; it came by an apostle. So, why will it take a prophet to understand it, when we are now back in the days of apostles of the original seed, apostles of the original order? Apostolic days are here, for WE ARE BACK IN BIBLE DAYS! And let me warn you now: If you do not follow the leadership of Jesus Christ, which he is expressing through the present day apostolic ministry, you are certainly not hearing the message of Elijah, and although you have come out of Babylon, nevertheless, you will not come into life, unless you repent of this great unbelief, for it is most wilful! Because it takes the apostles of the original class, to take the Holy Bible, which is not of any private interpretation, and put it in proper revelatory perspective, for your understanding, or you will have no clue! Everyone has Bibles of various translations in their possession, but they are only carrying the mere letter of the Word. What people lack is the revelation of it, and that is precisely what the April 2017 apostles carry: Apostles carry the pure revelation of the Holy Scriptures! Brothers and sisters, it takes apostles to give you the perfect revelation of the Scriptures. Therefore, turn them down, and you turn down Jesus Christ in his pure scriptural revelation! Period! Brothers and sisters, REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE. You can come out of Sodom; you can come out of Babylon. Wonderful for you! But if you do not submit yourself to the continuity revelation of Jesus Christ, you will end up just like Mrs. Lot! Because you have to keep following the Lord in his continuous light of the Word, until we meet Jesus. Until we go in the rapture, the revelation of Christ will keep flowing, because we are not serving a dead Christ: He is a risen Christ, for he is alive! And as I am speaking today, he is here by his Spirit, for he is alive! If you do not keep following him in his scriptural revelation, do you know what that means? It means that another spirit has taken over your life. And do you know exactly what that spirit is? It is the spirit that established the Church of Rome; it is the spirit that

53 April 2017 birthed spiritual Babylon, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots, and abominations of the earth. That is the spirit ruling your life, if you refuse to follow the Lord Jesus in his continuous scriptural revelation, for it is the spirit controlling the entire world of organised religion, called the spirit of the Antichrist. And if the end of Babylon is the Lake of Fire, as we have clearly shown in the Holy Scriptures, where will your end be? Where will you spend eternity? REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE. She came out of Sodom, but the spirit of Sodom still ruled her life. You can come out of Babylon, but the spirit of Babylon may still rule your life. If you do not follow the continuity revelation of the Word of Jesus Christ, your life is in your hands, for that remains between you and God, for I have shown you the truth. Let us bow our heads in prayer. (Brother Amos prayed). The Lord bless you. Page 53 DIRECTORY OF THE SCRIBE concluded 74.
