Oh please realize dear child of light, if you have not already, that it is a vastly different thing to know your destiny and to accept such as did Christ Yeheshua in Gethsemene, than it is to take Destiny into your own hands, to own it as if the power of the same was all yours.
DESTINY…the FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY IS NOT, HAS NEVER BEEN, AND WILL NEVER BE IN THE HANDS OF ANY OTHER THAN THE ALMIGHTY AND OMNIPOTENT GOD! AND IF YOU RUN AROUND THINKING YOURSELF TO BE SOMETHING…THINKING DESTINY…THE VERY FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY IS IN YOUR HANDS….Pride has lifted you, you are deceived and you will be brought to a realization of the truth, if only by means of ‘THE HARD WAY.”
God’s Glory is his own and he will not share it with any feeble human hands. He may manifest it in human hands, whether by the hearts of the humble or on the backs of the proud…but the moment you steal from him his very own power to make good his word, to suggest that destiny is in any other hand than that of the Almighty…lookout….look out, for if only in your very last moment, you will know the truth as your very identity may show itself eternally fleeting from you…that your soul as in individual be remembered no more as it is called back to G-d from whence it came. What role will you have had in Destiny in the moment of that horrific fate? What CONTROL over the universe would you have impacted on this world in even the smallest way, let alone something as important as the prophetic timeline of God. You better realize your role if you are given to such thoughts, repent and acknowledge again The Living G-d.
So…lets look again at What Brother Houteff was prophesying in the Macro of the MODERN ASSYRIA…he noted…
"Thou [Assyria] also shalt be drunken; thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy. “
quoting from Nahum Chapter 3, a prophetic future warning in the modern replay of Nahum and in the Macro, events which would be seen in the Macro under the Ministry of David Koresh, and now are being seen in the MICRO, having a more driect impact in our Generation. For the first time, we are Generation in which geographical distance has little separating power. For us, events once considered MACRO…miles and miles away, are now but a click away. But such was not the case yet for the world at large in 1993, nor the years leading up.
Well most of us know of the relevance of Nahum chapter 2 in direct fulfillment to WACO and The Branch Davidians under the current replay. The truth is under the ministry of David Koresh the mandate of Chapter one, as witnessed in the Macro via PAST modern fulfillment with the Shepherds Rod movement, while related to them, was Macro in that it was so far past, that it really touched NONE of those Students of the SEVEN SEALS directly in their then present Lifetimes.
Not in direct fashion as it did with The Rod movement. Event the attempt to draw away from the former namesake would not in his lifetime be permanent. How many now, outside of those of us Paying attention, or the varied fringe factions of CULT awareness groups in this world have any clue as to just whom the title “The Students of the Seven Seals” applies to in relation to the number of those, who identify the same group as “BRANCH DAVIDIANS?”
The New Name WAS THE BRANCH, and the new name IS THE BRANCH…but IT IS NOT….”THE BRANCH DAVIDIANS….not at all. For God has honored the efforts of his Annointed in that matter, and while the change did not stick, it was the ASSYRIAN who cast the name of God to the Ground, IT WAS THE ASSYRIAN WHO CALLED “THE Students of the Seven Seals…” “BRANCH DAVIDIANS” and it is with the Assyrian that any current generation would identify such. The Branch Davidians have joined the SDA as their namesakes before them…but whle the STUDENTS of the Seven Seals may be labled “BRANCH DAVIDIANS…” none, not one amongst the varied factions of those calling themselves “Branch Davidians” can call themselves or are outside of Those called “STUDENTS OF THE SEVEN SEALS” called by the same title.
There is a Price for the Prophets of God to speak “presumptuously,” but God, ultimately always honors his prophets.
Now as to things which impacted those “Branches,” those “STUDENTS OF THE SEVEN SEALS” in the MICRO…that is with direct personal interaction…we see in chapter two of Nahum…particularly as with the Rod Movement, about 6 or 7 verses…in particular the first few verses:
1 He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.
2 For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
3 The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
4 The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
5 He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
With verse 1-3 we see THE MIGHT OF MODERN ASSYRIAN, the USA and THE PLIGHT of Modern Israel, those in Mt. Carmel in the events of February 28th, 1993.
This part of Texas is covered vastly with fir trees. And on that day, the shields of the Mighty men of the ASSYRIAN was made red with blood. David knew that day would come had warned of it for 3 years, he and those paying attention had seen it on the horizon of the Macro to be in the not too distant micro.
Clive Doyle having served under the ministry of at least 4 prophets, noted to me on a few occasions….”There a thing about these prophets you have to keep in mind…they all thought they were the one most times, one comes along and thinks he is sealing the 144,000, then another comes along and thinks he is going to be the one. And you can see that God is using these guys, that they are inspired…but sometimes you realize that they kinda see things on a curve sometimes. What they are seeing is true, but its like they are seeing something right in front of them, but in truth, it’s way off on the horizion. It’s like that saying “Objects in the Mirror may be closer than they appear…well sometimes it’s the other way around.”
So while David had seen Nahum 1 in perspective to know Nahum 2 was right around the corner, even announcing the event was only about 6 months away accurately to David Thibodeau and others as noted in the book “WACO: A Survivors Story” by David Thibodeau…it is quite possible that the events of Nahum 3 looked a lot closer in appearance than they actually were. There is no doubt in the hearts of those paying attention and having investigated for themselves the Spiritial condition and message surrounding the event the world simply calls “WACO,” that such event was known years in advance would occur from the Book of Nahum, or that such event was directly warned from Nahum Chapter 2 and it was. But only Events in Chapter 2 actually occurred in the Micro to those “Branches” those “Students of the Seven Seals.” In actuality, the events of Chapter one had already been set in the Macro during the 1920’s, and 30’s, and became evident in the events of the world at large the first time during the 1940’s.
And the events OF chapter two of Nahum in the modern replay, while seen in the MACRO to the Rod movement and undeniably in the Micro to the Students of the Seven Seals, is to those in this timeframe an event seen for the most part. AND WACO was experienced to the WORLD in the extreme MOST PART it should be emphatically pointed, an event witnessed in the MACRO as far as personal cost and connection, a thing experienced as something of “THE WORLD AT LARGE,” while for those inside, for those with loved ones inside, it was in fact…more local…a community event.
Some would say it easy for me to make such proclamation that the event of Nahum Chapter 3, while related in the current replay to the Event known as “WACO”, was in fact by those suffering in that siege, not an event they witnessed IN THE MICRO…not even an event which has fully played out in fact. And in truth, it is easy for me to make such proclamations, for I make them through inspiration, and it is much easier for me to back such claims through the Spirit and that she has shown me, than it is for others to proclaim anything else of such matters. IT may be true that David expected to see Chapter 3 play out in the Micro, every bit as much as Victor Houteff expected chapter two to fully play out in his. But while they felt the economic woes of World War two, their mothers did not feel the sting of burying their children. Their children were not orphaned to the war, their sons not slain on enemy battlefields.
So lets look at chapter Three of Nahum finally as this very lengthy but necessary introduction has brought us to that which can now be summed up in more concise fashion.
It has been said by those who PROCLAIM TO KNOW THE MESSAGE OF DAVID KORESH that there will be no more messengers. Such a thing is indeed TRUE..as far as the “BRANCH DAVIDIAN CHURCH” is concerned.
In the days that followed February 28th 1993, we seen those chariots with flaming Torches…at least some of us did, in the footage of the Boon exuding a stream of flames, and we seen in the Macro most of us, in the micro perhaps a very select few, those Chariots with flaming torches jostling about in the streets as noted in Nahum 2:4.
We seen the retreat of those ATF, having run out of ammunition, fleeing the seen with their dead and wounded when granted the opportunity to do so.
But, as we seen in the case of the Shepherds Rod movement, passages of this modern replaying of Nahum, events which in the Micro, particularly the first 6 verses, were not experienced by the Rod movement, but macro as they were past, and had been experienced in the micro, on personal levels in the affairs between the SDA and their interactions with the message and messenger of Ellen White. It is only in verse 6, we first see a glimpse of Victor Houteff in the last days of THE SDA as a GROUP who possessed “PRESENT TRUTH” who had in their midst a present voice of Inspiration as in 1923-29, only Victor Houteff, and then the Sheperds Rod, qualifed to be the answer to the question asked in Nahum 1:6…”WHO CAN STAND BEFORE HIS INDIGNATION?” The answer is quite simple, only the righteous. For the guilty will fall, and even with the righteous Paul admonishes sternly in the Book of Hebrews…
“IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD…FOR THE LORD SHALL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.”
Even Victor Houteff, suffered affliction, despite his anointing, but such was to his greater good and the greater good and glory of God in the progression of truth into this world.
And while we see then that in fact yes, the Ministry of the Sheperds Rod was emphatically illustrated in the Modern Reply of Nahum 1, only part of it, was so in the Micro, on personal levels, and other parts were experienced personally by those before them. And while Chapter two likewise was experience personally by that group, but not uniquely personally, rather in the larger macro sense with the rest of the World at large…we see then the same of Nahum chapter two and The Students of the Seven Seals called to the World in 1993…”THE BRANCH DAVIDIANS” by the Assyrian, to cast their name to the ground, and hopes, though failed, of doing the same to the name of God, and the New Name of Christ.
While seen the tanks in 93, while we seen much…and while the word “SIEGE” is actually used verbatim in Nahum chapter 3 in the KING JAMES 1611 Version of the Bible…and while witnessed a SIEGE at Waco, the Seige at Waco, and the SEIGE in Nahum 3, are in fact, NOT….ONE IN THE SAME EVENT.
In truth, as we see only the latter part of Nahum 1 being applicable in the micro on personal firsthand interaction to those paying attention in 1929-1942….we likewise see only the FIRST part of Nahum Chapter two in the current replay, now 70 years in the making to the world at large, as having actually occurred during any point in 1993.
Much of the Rest of Nahum Chapter 2, while perhaps expected by the Students of the Seven Seals and David Koresh, would in fact not play out in his lifetime.
At what point did we see this happen in 1993?:
“ Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: “
At what point during the event known as “WACO” did that happen? I never saw the Tanks of the Modern Assyrian burn in the smoke, not in the way it is stated. There is no doubt some will say…”oh, those tanks could not have gotten out of that building without at least some burns…” yeah, smudge marks but nothing to disable those Chariots to burn them not in the flames but in the very smoke they themselves created!! IT DID NOT HAPPEN! Period Sure, the earlier passages of Nahum 2 apply and occurred in a modern replay, but not this passage or that of those following...never happened prior to or ON April 19th, 1993 during the siege of Mt. Carmel.
