PREACHING No.40
THE WAR OF ARMAGEDON
[Preached first on March 12, 2004 in Locodjro, Abidjan and on March 14 in Yamoussoukro-Ivory Coast]
[... Brother Philip reads Rev.16:13-16 without reading the verse 15]... In the verse 13, they are churches gathering, making converts for the war of Armagedon. The Bible says that they are spirits of demons, the same as those of Matth.24:24. It is the same war as Rev.12:15 to 17 and Rev.19:11 to 21. The first war of Armagedon thus took place in the heaven. But on earth, the first one took place during the departure of Israel out of Egypt. There, God was visiting the Egyptian gods who were nothing other than those cast out of heaven during the first heavenly war of Armagedon. In Exodus 7:19, when God was smiting streams, rivers, ponds and every heap of water in blood, it is the protective cherub Hâpi, that He was smiting. In Exodus 8:1-3, they are the cherubim Osiris and Sabek that God was smiting. In Exodus 8:16, the cherub Thot, the god of miracles that He was smiting. In Exodus 8:20-21, they are the cherubim Bouto and Horus that Jesus Christ was smiting. In Exodus 9:6, it is the cherub Hathor that He was smiting. In Exodus 9:10, it is the cherub Amon-rê, god of healing that Jesus Christ was smiting. In Exodus... You see? Every god [cherub] had his own cult, his own altar, his own doctrines, his own priests under the authority of a high priest who is the direct representative of the protective cherub. The other priests are the representatives of the angels that his tail drew during the heavenly war. Rev.12:4 and 9 say that their tails drew angels who stood before God. And you know that they have no Message as their images today. The first war of Armagedon on earth took place in Egypt, the war of Armagedon of Rev.16:13-16 will take place in Egypt and the third and last war of Armagedon in Rev.11:3-12, will take place in Egypt. What does Rev.11:8 say? The bodies of Elijah and Moses shall be on the place called spiritually Egypt, where their Lord was crucified! Amen! I told you that two small preachers will rise in Israel. Before that, many will rise over there and some will pass themselves off as Elijah or Moses. But they are seducers. Notice that these two will not cross the earth to fraternize with those whom I condemned. You see? While the midnight Cry is sounding, if you see a Jew who is not the echo of this Message and who fraternizes with these charlatans and mystics in the world, then it is a pure product of Baal. Some Jews, sons of Baal, cross the earth with bibles in hand to gather the demons and send them to Israel to face Elijah and Moses. They go to the evangelisations of Nations to look for reinforcement in demons. And see in these journeys and pilgrimages of the christians towards Israel, invasions of demons on that country in order to face Elijah and Moses. And when I will no longer be on earth and that these two men will rise, judging and condemning Israel, the new capital of the spiritual prostitution, I will cry over there, "Glory to God, Hallelujah!!! ". You see? They will condemn Lebanon, Syria, Jordan,… they will condemn America, France,… they will condemn Ivory Coast. They will preach against the sons of the nations who will go for spiritual visit in Israel in these days and their disciples will also do likewise. Measures will be taken against them and the police and the crowds will hinder them with the strength. It is at the time when the sons of the devil will raise Israel in honour and in glory among the nations that God will do this work. Word of prophet.
You see? Rev.11:8 says that the bodies of Elijah and Moses will be on the place spiritually called Egypt, where their Lord was crucified! You see? Since the time when the Lord was crucified, Israel was spiritually Egypt. And the altars of the gods of Egypt were called: pharisees, sadducees, herodians, zealots, essenes... that began to be close little by little to the churches that you see today. It is the infallible revelation of the war of Armagedon. Do you understand this Message? Outside of what God is doing here, all these presidents and emperors of churches are cherubim. I do not know if the protective cherub of whom T.L.Osborn is the terrestrial representative is Sabek or Bouto or Osiris but this cherub was in Egypt against Moses. These same cherubim appeared in 2 kings 17:29-31 under other names: Nergal, Adrammelech, Nibkhaz, Tharthak, Succoth-Benoth... But the big problem is that today, they are all called Jesus Christ. Sabek is called Jesus Christ, Osiris is called Jesus Christ... Each one of the gods of the roman catholic, protestant, evangelical, branhamist churches and Inca is called Jesus Christ. And each one writes his god with "G" [uppercase]. All the churches, missions and ministries! You see? That is what complicates things but I will do so that the smallest illiterate farmer may know that the devil who used to shake the fetish priest in the village is the same who operates in these churches under the name of holy spirit or Jesus Christ no matter the greatness of the miracles. All the geniuses that were in the creeks, sacred forests, masks and others are in churches under the name of holy spirit. These geniuses used to protect villages, families, cantons, tribes, languages,… entered into churches, they continue these same ministries. And people who should in principle be fetish priests, are today in jackets with bibles in hand so that the harvest became small and they are the workers who are numerous. But keep quiet! I tell you, "thus saith the Lord", God will swallow them all up! This is the Gospel, the Glad Tidings of the Kingdom for our generation! Notice that today, the abolition of slavery in the United States is a piece of good news for no black-American, it is simply a happy souvenir. Today, the storming of the Bastille is a piece of good news for no Frenchman, what was a subject of joy on July 14, 1789 has become a mere souvenir. Today, the declaration of independence of Israel does not mean anything to a Jew yet on May 14, 1948, it was embraces, some others cried for joy. And the Glad Tidings of the Kingdom today, it is the midnight Cry. Everybody knows since 2000 years that Jesus died to save us. Everybody knows since five hundred years through Luther that the roman catholic church is of the devil. Everybody knows since five hundred years through Luther that we are saved by grace by the means of faith. Everybody knows since Wesley that the sanctification is inevitable for the Salvation of the soul. Repeating these things, it is good but this generation waits for glad tidings contained in Matth.25:6.
[…] If God really called you and that you go to a biblical training, how will we know what God gave you and what you learnt from man?
Well! The frog is a kind of batrachian having the eyes on the head and being able to see far behind or far ahead but not the present. "Moses, Moses, Moses… the Messiah is going to come... Jesus is good, Jesus said, Jesus did... Jesus will come " yet Jesus is at work. " Brother Branham said... Brother Branham said the 3rd pull will come, the 3rd pull will come ". Yet we are at midnight.
Well! Frogs like stagnant and stinking waters, adjourned manna or theology yet fishes are in deep and clear waters. Notice that fishes do not fraternize with frogs. Poor frogs! They do want rain, they cry but when the rain comes they are fishes that...
In addition, ghosts, nameless people, hidden behind websites, have engaged a fight against this Message since 2003. Yet, all the things they do, I call that: a display of fear and weakness. They have my brotherly greetings… [Ed: The congregation laughs]. I saw that the devil, as a snake, wanted to bite you by the Internet! Beware of their good spiritual things. The Message has already warned you.
Well, in Rev.12:15-17, it is question of the same war as that of Rev.19:11-21. That is what people call "persecution" but there won’t be a real persecution but after the rapture of the wise virgins. Because the wise virgins will smite them with all kinds of plagues as in Egypt: with blindness, with ulcer, with paralysis, with earthquake, with storms, with floods, with fire... Also, we shall say to a mango tree: "You mango tree, under the virtue of "the Word of God ", before I reach you, produce ripe fruits, that we may eat and that there may be a big rest" yet it is not the season of mangoes but things will happen so. But when we will be enraptured they will have the upper hand over the foolish virgins to kill them, they have oil only to not deny their belonging to this Message. When they will be asked: " is it you who burn the bibles and who do not make rule and internal regulation for your church? ". They will say: "yes!". The churches will say: " they blasphemed against the … they said that the spirit that acts in our churches is not the Holy Spirit!" The foolish virgins will not be able to disappear or to smite them with blindness but also they will not deny the faith.
Every conversion outside of the midnight Cry is a recruitment for the war of Armagedon. And Osborn, Morris Cerrullo, … go across the earth for that. In Rev.19:19, we see the catholic, protestant and evangelical armies gathered spiritually in the place called Egypt or else Armagedon, to wage war against us. The verse 18 says that at that time, the wealth, the flesh of these churches that are the horses, will be rifled. Like in Rev.17, these kings of Rev.19:18 are the presidents of unions, councils and federations of churches which are empires. The chiliarchs are the presidents of churches. The bond are the members of churches. The free and the birds are those who are not members of churches.
Now what happened in Egypt? All these gods gave their authority to the army of the Pharaoh to kill the Jews. But God swallowed that army up in waters of the Red Sea. What happened, 2000 years ago in Israel? The pharisee, sadducee, hellenistic, essene gods,… gave their power to the Roman soldiers to crucify Jesus and persecute the apostles. What will happen today? The gods of the churches will give their power to the police, to the Justice, to the crowds, to the NGOs to persecute the elect. Don’t let yourselves be distracted by NGOs!
Now, observe Rev.11: "fire goes out of their mouth, and devours their enemies. These have power to shut the heaven that no rain may fall … and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth as often as they will with every plague." It is the other phase of this war that will take place in Israel with Elijah and Moses after the rapture of the Church of nations. It is about all this that the dream of brother Arsene talks.
Observe the frog, like snakes of waters, it can live in water and outside water. But the fish cannot do it. It is hypocrisy. They can pray with us but we cannot pray with them. Fishes do not look for the good-companionship of frogs even if they live in water. If you notice, frogs have the same cry as the crow... well! After the war of Armagedon and the persecution, it will be the tribulation of nations because of the blood of the saints that will be shed. In any case, Rev.16:13 to 16 does not speak of an Arab-Israeli war or of a country against another country or of Al Qaida. Read very well Rev.16:13-16 and you will see Satan in churches seducing the inhabitants of the earth. As the mark of the beast, the war of Armagedon is purely religious. All these intense fasts, these campaigns of evangelisation, these miracles that you see outside of the midnight Cry have the war of Armagedon as aim. And what will start this war is already contained in this Message but God will retain it until all the elect of the whole world hear It. Have eyes on the preachings such as: "the Church and the State" or the passage of their bibles through the fire. It cannot come more true and harder than the midnight Cry. Nations are waiting for three things, a war, a persecution then a tribulation. I will preach now on the elements of Rev.19:11-21. The new unknown name that comes in the unknown language. I did not know what that meant but God has revealed them.
Well, now, follow me very well, Rev.2 and 3 show that during the seven ages, with regard to the different assemblies, Jesus Christ has had different names. Notice that it is in relation with the Church that the name of the Lord changes and Rev.19 says that there is an unknown name because the revelation of the unknown language was still sealed. You see? In the beginning of such age or of such assembly, the future new names are announced: "These things says ". You see? The bright morning star, the first and the last, the Son of God, the Amen, Faithful and True... What is it? At every stage of the Church, Jesus Christ takes a new name. And at every stage of churches, Satan also took a new name. You see? When Jesus says: "I am the bright morning star", Satan says: "I am catholic". When the new name of Jesus was: the Son of God, Satan's new name was: protestant-methodist. You see? Evangelical, baptist, anabaptist, assembly of God, pentecostal, adventist, lutheran-christian, … You see?
Now let us consider Rev.19:12: "having a name WRITTEN which no one knows but himself" what is that name written? The seven thunders are going to speak... It is not a proper name in substitution of Jesus Christ but an attribute of his showing. It is the occasion to stress that in the beginning names expressed a message; whether with humans, or with animals or with birds. The name of a bird is often the cry of this bird. First the v.11 indicates that it is always the 7th age because He is the Faithful and True of Rev.3:14. But here, there is an unknown name and the verse 13 says that his name is called "the Word of God". Yet the age of Pergamos [Rev.2:12-17] is the direct shade of the age of Laodicea in its phase of midnight in Rev.19. Pergamos is the 3rd age, Laodicea is the 7th age. Already to Pergamos, It is written: "These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword". In Rev.19:15: "And out of his mouth goes a sharp [two-edged] sword, that with it he might smite the nations". Yet to Pergamos, in the verse 16, He said: …I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth. Amen!
To Pergamos, He said: there where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan is, Satan lives there, in the churches but you did not deny my faith. Now notice this: verse 17 (Pergamos): I will give you the manna that I had hidden from the angels and mankind before the founding of the world. I will give you the white stone on which is WRITTEN a new name. Yet, the new name of the Bride in Pergamos is the new name of the Bridegroom at midnight. The new name written of Rev.2:17 is the new name written of Rev.19:12. What is it? The midnight Cry. The age of Pergamos is the shade of the final ministry of the 7th age. In Matth.25:6, the Cry said: "Behold the Bridegroom…". And when we went forth, WHO did we find? A written Message which is, "the Word of God". Nobody can know this written Message, in the pure meaning of knowing, unless he who receives It … A great mystery revealed in simplicity.
But do you know how the persecution will happen? How many were there when one day I burnt Louis Segond publicly? The megaphone had been taken and there is a man, I do not know of which NGO, he wanted to defend us. He said: "give him back the megaphone, it is an Ivorian citizen! And on the basis of the freedom of expression, you have no right to hinder him!". But when he heard that I had just burnt a Louis Segond bible publicly, he left. You see? No NGO, no organisation can defend the elect in the persecution! Always, a man maybe! But no organisation as Ewald Frank says it. In the Old as in the New Testament, that does not exist! You see? And at cock-crow when this Message will take on another turn and that former muslims who believed this Message will burn their koran publicly, that will start the persecution and as an international precaution of solidarity, all the States will forbid according to them, such a sect on their territory by ministerial decrees and the doors of our assemblies will be closed. Word of prophet. And any nation that will not enforce this measure will expose herself to international penalties to begin with the recalling of ambassadors and suspension of the relations with such a nation and with any nation cooperating with such a nation. But will there be a nation that will not enforce it? And I tell you again you that nations will be pleased for having crossed that sect out of the earth.
You say: "Brother Philip, all that you say seem true but as a precaution, I will accept it when that is going to begin!" If you have to accept it, it is today on in order to be in the number of the elect even if you die before these things happen! Otherwise you will no more and no less but be the one of Matth.22:12 who entered the room of the wedding without anything as work while the opportunity had previously been given to him. So he that has ears to hear, let him hear.
