Dear Patrick,
On April 17, 1992 I received a very disturbing letter from Francis C. Spataro depicting you in a very unfavorable cadre, as one feigning as a dear friend and with Baha'i regards with the purpose in mind to expose me in an essay: "Exposing a modern AntiChrist: Falsehoods and Deceptions in Montana [Revised Edition]".... "Maybe who he thinks he is is the whole problem. He is not the defender of the Covenant. Baha'u'llah is. Abdu'l-Baha has stated this in clear terms, 'the Lord of Hosts is the defender of the Covenant.'" Labbe continues, "When I study the above quotes I am moved to see Dr. Jensen for what he is: a usurper and a Covenant-breaker:" Mr. Labbe follows,... "So in a very weird sort of way Dr. Jensen is the establisher by his role as AntiChrist." [P.C. Labbe RN, Rt 1, Box 509, Dillon SC 29536.]
Like a snake in the grass hiding your motives to attack, you with the greatest deception befriended us, so that you could write an essay to severely malign me behind my back. In Baha'u'llah and the New Era (BNE) under the title of The Sin-covering Eye 'Abdu'l-Baha tells us:--....
To an American friend He writes:--
The worst human quality and the most great sin is back-biting, more especially when it emanates from the tongue of the believers of God. If some means were devised so that the doors of back-biting could be shut eternally, and each one of the believers unseated his lips in praise of others, then the teachings of His Holiness Baha'u'llah would be spread, the hearts illumined, the spirits glorified, and the human world would attain to everlasting Felicity." --Star of the West, Vol. IV, p. 192.
What a farce! I can't find any place where I have said that I am "THE" defender of the Covenant. You are correct, 'Abdu'l-Baha did say "the Lord of Hosts is the defender of the Covenant," but you didn't quote the rest of the paragraph:
Today, the Lord of Hosts is the defender of the Covenant, the forces of the
1
kingdom protect it, heavenly souls tender their services, and heavenly angels[1] promulgate and spread it broadcast. If it is considered with insight, it will be seen that all the forces of the Universe, in the last analysis serve the Covenant ('Abdul-Baha, Star of the West, Vol. XI, p. 242).
The forces of the kingdom that protect it are God's heavenly army, or the hosts of the Lord (Baha'u'llah). They are the legions of the Covenant. Two synonyms for hosts are "army" and "legions". It is an indisputable fact that I am a Knight of Baha'u'llah appointed (knighted) by Shoghi Effendi. I am the only knight left. All the rest have either died off or have remained with the Covenant-breakers on Mt. Carmel. Another definite fact, all those that remained with the Covenant-breakers have been expelled from the Baha'i religious faith by the guardian, Mason Remey, for Covenant-breaking[2]. As the only remaining Knight of Baha'u'llah, I therefore fulfill the prophecy in the Book of Revelation for the Knight on the White horse (Chap. 19:11-16). The proof that these verses refer to a Knight of Baha'u'llah is: "On his robe and on his thigh he has a name inscribed, King of kings and Lord of lords."[3] This King of kings and Lord of lords can only mean Baha'u'llah, the Lord of Hosts. Every knight that goes into battle has on his banner, robe or chaps the name of the king or lord that he is championing or defending. Baha'u'llah is the defender of the Covenant. Knight of Baha'u'llah means defender of Baha'u'llah. Therefore, it is an absolute fact that the only one that could possibly be the Knight on the White horse in Revelation is a Knight of Baha'u'llah, and I am the only Knight of Baha'u'llah left. The rest of the passage even makes it clearer:
Then I saw heaven opened [heaven of prophecy], and behold a white horse [the pure religion of Baha'u'llah that I am promoting, or defending]! He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True [firm in the Covenant and abiding by its provisions], and in righteousness he judges and makes war [it's righteous to make war on the Covenant-breakers]. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems [the many names or titles that I am prophesied to come in, such as the seventh angel, the Lamb, etc.]; and he has a name inscribed which no one knows but himself [my name, Leland--the land[4]]. He is clad in a robe dipped in blood [Baha'u'llah referred to his Revelation as a robe and the blood refers to the Baha'i martyrs], and the name by which he is called is The Word of God ['Abdu'l-Baha referred to Jesus as The Word of God and Baha'u'llah as the Greatest Name of God], and the armies [hosts] of heaven[5] arrayed in fine linen, white and pure [white stands for the good guys and pure refers to not being corrupted with Covenant-breaking], followed him on white horses [meaning that they also become knights and defenders of Baha'u'llah]. From his mouth issues a sharp

sword [my words] with which to smite the nations [such as my last letter to you], and he will rule them with a rod of iron [here it states that I will have complete victory by the words of my mouth]; he will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty (Revelation 19:11-15).
This Knight on the White horse is also the angel in Revelation 14:19-20, for he too "treads the winepress of the fury of God:"
So the angel [the seventh] swung his sickle on the earth, and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath God; and the winepress was trodden outside the city [the Law of God[6]], and blood flowed from the winepress as high as a horse's bridle, for one thousand six hundred stadia [about two hundred miles[7]].
These two hundred miles refer to the diameter of the effects of a nuclear blast, or a one hundred mile radius from the epicenter. Practically everything in these 200 hundred miles will be destroyed.
This Knight of Baha'u'llah is also the Knight on the White horse in Revelation chapter 6:2:
And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and its rider had a bow; and a crown was given him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
The crown represents the crown of authority, and it also represents the golden aura around the heads of saints and promised ones of God.
The bow is the sign of the Covenant. "I set my bow [Covenant] in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth" (Geneses 9:13). This Covenant is in my hands for I took it out the hands of the guardian, Mason Remey, when he became "unworthy" and couldn't break the seven seals,[8] and when he recognized that I was the Lamb.
And I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne [of David) a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals;...(Rev. 5: 1).
Every king seated on a throne has a scepter in his right hand as a token or sign of his authority to sit on the throne. This scepter of the one seated on the throne in Rev. 5:1, "a scroll written within and on the back," is the Covenant of Baha'u'llah and the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha. Mason was given the authority to sit on the throne, by becoming a son, or ghusn[9]. He was adopted by 'Abdu'l-Baha, making him a descendant of

Baha'u'llah and of King David, a definite requirement of the W&T. He fulfilled the other requirement by Shoghi Effendi appointing him to be the president (guardian) of Shoghi Effendi's successor, the IBC, that was to become a world court in 1963. Then the body of the world court was to become elected and in the fullness of time it was to become the UHJ by being elected by Secondary Houses of Justice, with Mason or one of his descendants (a son) would have be the president of this body and thus recognized as an Aghsan guardian. Whereas Shoghi was an Afnan guardian (a Male descendant of Muhammad and a collateral relative of the Bab). Only a male descendant of David and of Baha'u'llah could possibly be seated on the throne of David and be the president or head of the UHJ. Thus Mason was the one seated on the throne in Chapter five of Revelation.
As Mason did not establish the Covenant, wmth its attending Will and Testament (written on the back) in the world, it is the function of the Lamb, who has it in his hands, to establish this in the world:
And between the throne [in front of the throne] and the four living creatures[10] and among the elders [I am one of the elders], I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain [I fulfill the prophecies for the return of Jesus who was slain], with seven horns [7 alive apostate revealed religions] and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God [7 appearances of the Holy Spirit in 7 Manifestations] sent out into all the earth; and he went and took scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures [accepted the Baha'i faith as their state religion] and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb [Mason couldn't be the Lamb for this didn't happen during his lifetime], each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints, and they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the scroll and to open its seals,..." (Rev. 5:6-9).
It is also an indisputable fact that none of the "Hands" were knighted by Shoghi Effendi or by anyone else. When some asked him to make them knights he definitely refused. Both Shoghi Effendi and 'Abdu'l-Baha tell us that the knights, reinforced by the legions of the Covenant (Baha'is Under the Provisions of the Covenant) and not the "Hands" will establish the Kingdom and are assured of complete victory. But first the whole world is to come against me.
Not only am I in opposition to the Covenant-breakers, but as the Knight on the White horse in Revelation six I go out and attack "The Beast"' and the rider on the Red Horse, Black Horse and the Pale Horse. The Reds are the Russians. The Black Horse is the United Nations: "its rider had a balance in his hands." The balance represents justice. Roosevelt, in setting up the United Nations, intended that it would be the Baha'i Universal House of Justice. He intended to proclaim Baha'u'llah after the atom bomb became perfected, which was only several months away when he passed on. He planned to call the heads of the nations to the Nevada proving ground, have an atomic device exploded to show its devastating potency, and then call on all nations to settle their disputes around a conference table and have them all simultaneously disarm. But he died before he was able

to accomplish this.[12] Thus, the UN became the Black Horse (secular). The Pale Horse is the United States with its corrupt politics and legal system, as seen in the Rodney King trial. Black and white makes gray, which makes the pale horse. This prophecy also warns us: "but do not harm oil and wine." The oil represents the Mid-East oil (like in the Gulf war) and the wine represents the Covenant with its attending Will and Testament. The letter I sent you shows how the Arch Covenant-breaker established a sect, now referred to as the mainstream Baha'is. She established the greatest Covenant-breaking scheme that ever ransacked (looted, pillaged, ravaged, despoiled, plundered) and brought to naught the "Plan of God." Nobody can possibly bring an end to this annihilation but the Promised Knight of Baha'u'llah, and his followers on white horses:
The Onslaught of All Peoples and Kindreds
We have only to refer to the warnings uttered by 'Abdu'l-Baha in order to realize the extent and character of the forces that are destined to contest with God's Holy Faith. In the darkest moments of His life, under 'Abdu'l-Hamid's regime, when He stood ready to be deported to the most inhospitable regions of Northern Africa, and at a time when the auspicious light of the Baha'i Revelation had only begun to break upon the West, He, in His parting message to the cousin of the Bab, uttered these prophetic and ominous words:
"How great, how very great is the Cause! How very fierce the onslaught of all the peoples and kindreds of the earth. Ere long shall the clamor of the multitudes throughout Africa, throughout America, the cry of the European and of the Turk, the groaning of India and China, be heard from far and near. One and all, they shall arise with all their power to resist His Cause. Then shall the knights of the Lord [of Baha'u'llah], assisted by His grace from on high, strengthened by faith, aided by the power of understanding, and reinforced by the legions of the Covenant, arise and make manifest the truth of the verse: 'Behold the confusion that hath befallen the tribes of the defeated!'" ('Abdu'l-Baha)
Stupendous as is the struggle which His words foreshadow, they also testify to the complete victory which the upholders of the Greatest Name are destined eventually to achieve. Peoples, nations, adherents of divers faiths [including the mainstream Baha'is], will jointly and successively arise to shatter its unity [the guardianship is the central point of unity], to sap its force, and degrade its holy name. They will assail not only the spirit which it inculcates, but the administration [visaged by 'Abdu'l-Baha, set up by Shoghi Effendi and replaced by "The Hands"] which is the channel, the instrument, the embodiment of that spirit. For as the authority with which Baha'u'llah has invested the future Baha'i Commonwealth becomes more and more apparent, the fiercer shall be the challenge which from every quarter will be thrown at the verities it enshrines (Shoghi, WOB pp. 17,18).
In Revelation nineteen where it talks about the authoritative Knight of Baha'u'llah it also states: "And the armies of heaven arrayed, in fine linen, white and pure, followed him on white horses" (Rev 19:14) is indicating that these also become knights of Baha'u'llah.

Baha'u'llah, an authoritative figure being a Manifestation of God and fulfilling the prophecies for the second Christ, did not explain the Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ. 'Abdu'l-Baha, an authoritative figure, explained the eleventh chapter, part of the twelfth chapter and part of the twenty-first chapter. Shoghi Effendi did not explain any part of the Book of Revelation nor did any other authoritative person explain any other portion of Revelation than what 'Abdu'l-Baha explained. 'Abdu'l-Baha explained only the first six verses of chapter twelve, which gave the proofs for the coming of the Bab. The rest, which foretell what is to happen after the passing of 'Abdu'l-Baha, he left unexplained. Mason tried to explain some of the Book of Revelation, but got all fouled up, for he was only an authoritative figure as long as he was the president of the IBC. When Mason did away with the IBC and refused to serve as the president of any council, IBC or UHJ, and when he established something quite different than Baha'u'llah's House of Justice as delineated by 'Abdu'l-Baha in his Will and Testament, he then became unworthy to open the scroll and break its seals in Revelation 5. Therefore nobody, outside of the Baha'is Under the Provisions of the Covenant, knows the meaning of the rest of the Book of Revelation other than that which 'Abdu'l-Baha explained.
In the Baha'i News, No 77, September, 1933 Shoghi Effendi informs us in reference to 'Abdu'l-Baha's interpretations of the book of Revelation. He explains that only the words of 'Abdu'l-Baha are truly authoritative, and that "the opinions of scholars are tentative." This was in reference to certain statements of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, interpreting chapter five of the Book of Revelation, where he states that 'Abdu'l-Baha was the Lamb, and Abu'l-Fadl's explanations of the seven seals of the scroll as referring to the seven religions of the past were not authoritative and thus subject to error.
Shoghi Effendi refers to certain statements of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl about the Seven Religions of the past, explains that only the words of 'Abdu'l-Baha are truly authoritative, but that if His statements cannot be discovered, we are free to tentatively accept the opinions of scholars.[13]
Only the interpretations of an authoritative person are not in error. Shoghi Effendi did not consider himself an authoritative figure, as the guardian, to interpret the Book of Revelation. Therefore only with the advent of a truly authoritative person would the true meanings be established. In regards to this Shoghi Effendi wrote to Mrs. Shahnaz Waite:
As regards what Mirza Abu'l-Fazl has said concerning the seven religions of the past, Shoghi Effendi wishes to emphasize that what is truly authoritative are the words of the Master. In all such cases we should try and find out what He has said and abide by His words, even though they seem to conflict with the findings of modern scholars. If He does not say anything on the subject, then the individual is free to accept, or refute what scholars, such as Abu'l-Fazl, say. Through the discussion of these (statements by scholars), the truth will ultimately be found, but at no time should their decision be considered as final.
(To Mrs. Shahnaz Waite, Los Angeles, dated Haifa, February 23, 1933.)
Shoghi wrote the above in anticipation of the Advent of another authoritative person, for

when he corrected Baha'u'llah and the New Era by Esselmont, where 'Abdu'l-Baha explains of the coming of another authoritative person, "Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the 1335 days (years)" of Daniel 12:12. Esselmont had the 1335 years starting with the start of the Muslim calendar in 622 A.D. giving the date of 1957, instead of the start of the Muslim Era with the victory of Muhammad in 628+1335=1963, which Shoghi states is the one hundredth anniversary of Baha'u'llah's proclamation. 'Abdu'l-Baha informs us that this authoritative person would clarify and establish the Kingdom.[15] Therefore this authoritative person, "Blessed is He," is the only authoritative person coming after 'Abdu'l-Baha, who has the knowledge and the authority to give the true explanations for the rest of The Book of Revelation that was not explained by 'Abdu'l-Baha. Any other explanations are bogus, misleading and downright destructive.
It was during the Ridvan period of 1963 that I began my mission, by being opposed by Satan (Rex King).[16] In Zechariah three where I fulfill the prophecies for the return of Jesus the High priest I am opposed by Satan: "And the Lord shewed me Jesus the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord: and Satan stood on his right hand to be his adversary. And the Lord said to Satan: The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan:..." (Zechariah 3:1,2).[17] The Lord rebuked Satan, by Mason Remey's rebuke of Rex King, designating him Satan.
All of 'Abdu'l-Baha's interpretations were in retrospect or were interpretations of prophecies that were being fulfilled in his day, up until 1921. Therefore everything in the Book of Revelation other than chapter eleven, the first six verses of chapter twelve and a few verses of chapter twenty one, pertain to events that were to occur after 1921. All explanations of that Book by scholars and other nonauthoritative persons after the passing of 'Abdu'l-Baha are tentative and for the most part are erroneous and damaging, running the gamut from confusion to the ridiculous until the coming of another authoritative person. When he comes only he and his chosen ones will give the true interpretations and clarify the Book of Revelation that pertain to happenings today. Certainly neither you nor Spataro are authoritative. Mason never interpreted the rest of the Book of Revelation although he referred to some small parts of it from time to time. In none of his writings at any time did he state that he was the Lamb. Therefore we must look at what some have stated he said as dubious.
Because of this, all the Christian's explanations of the Book of Revelation from the time of Jesus until the present, and the explanations by Baha'is (except those of 'Abdu'l-Baha), or any other people are bogus and spurious. Therefore those busybody dissidents that are busy interpreting that Book--running the gamut of explanations of who is the Lamb before the throne, who takes the scroll out of the hand of the one seated upon the throne in chapter five of the Revised Standard Version of the Book of Revelation--are in grievous error. Had 'Abdu'l-Baha explained the rest of the Book of Revelation, he would have told us who the Lamb would be who breaks the seven seals in chapter five. Then all the Baha'is

would know who the Lamb would be and there wouldn't be all the conjectures and wild guesses among the Baha'is, such as follows:
Some say it is God who is seated upon the throne and Baha'u'llah is the Lamb before the throne and thus breaks the seven seals. Others have the Bab as the Lamb who breaks the seals. Others have 'Abdu'l-Baha as the Lamb who breaks the seals. Others have Shoghi Effendi as the Lamb that breaks the seals. Others have Mason being the Lamb who breaks the seals.
Some say it is the Bab who is seated on the throne and Baha'u'llah is the Lamb who takes the scroll out of His hand and breaks the seals. Others have 'Abdu'l-Baha as the Lamb who takes it out of the hand of the Bab and breaks the seals. Others say Shoghi takes the scroll out of the hand of the Bab and breaks the seals.
Some say it is Baha'u'llah who is seated upon the throne and the Lamb is the Bab, like Mrs Ruth Moffett.[18] Others say 'Abdu'l-Baha is the Lamb who breaks the seals. Others say it is Shoghi Effendi who takes the scroll out of the hand of Baha'u'llah and breaks the seals. None of them explained the whole Book of Revelation including chapter five.
Robert F. Riggs, a Baha'i under the violation, in his book of interpretations of the Book of Revelation entitled The Apocalypse Unsealed, based in part upon the writings of the Bab, Baha'u'llah, 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi states that there are two Lambs i.e. the Bab and 'Abdu'l-Baha, with Baha'u'llah being the one seated on the throne. The Bab did not explain the Book of Revelation and 'Abdu'l-Baha only explained the 11th, part of the 12th and part of the 21st chapters. Thus none of these explanations told us who the Lamb was in chapter five.
All of the above explanations are ridiculous and spurious (artificial, bogus, counterfeit, fake, false, imitations and phony). All of these false prophets, so called scholars, wise-men and dissidents make the claim that their version of the "Lamb" broke the seven seals and they write reams of paper to deceive the people. If any one of their claims were true then WHY, WHY, WHY ALL THE CONFUSION, with all writers each with a bizzare conjecture in opposition with each other??? If the Bab, or Baha'u'llah, or 'Abdu'l-Baha, or Shoghi Effendi, or Mason had broken the seals then everyone would have known who the Lamb was and there would not be all this confusion!!!! None of the above revealed who the Lamb was, and none of them claimed to be the Lamb. They left it for the Lamb himself to break the seals and explain who the Lamb is. Therefore all of these so-called researchers and bumblebugs all missed the boat, so to speak, for the very simple reason that none of them were the Lamb.
There are a number of very good reasons why the Lamb is not pointed out and proven by his forerunners. One reason is that only the Lamb can show he is that individual by making his Proclamation and proving it. If he couldn't establish himself, how could he establish his mission?
The coming of the Lamb is like the coming of any other promised one. For instance the Bab and Baha'u'llah were contemporary with each other and the Bab explained that He was the forerunner of "Him who God would make manifest," who would be greater than

Himself. Although He knew that Husain 'Ali (Baha'u'llah) was that Promised One, He left it to Baha'u'llah Himself to make His own Proclamation and to give the proofs. This caused a lot of confusion. Many thought that Baha'u'llah's brother, Mirza Yahya, who had been the Bab's secretary, was the "One whom God would make Manifest".
When Baha'u'llah was in Adrianople and made His world-wide Proclamation in letters to the Kings and Rulers of the world this caused a split between the followers of Baha'u'llah and the followers of Mirza Yahya with great hostilities on the part of Mirza Yahya's forces against the Baha'i faith of Baha'u'llah. This was one of the main reasons the Sultan banished Mirza Yahya and his followers to Cyprus, and Baha'u'llah to the Most great prison of Akka. This took place although Baha'u'llah gave His proofs. He was prophesied in scriptures by name, address, date and mission, because of this, His Cause, not that of Yahya, was spread around the world.
The same thing took place with the Advent of Jesus. He didn't know He was the Promised One until He was baptized by John the Baptist, and the Spirit of the Lord descended upon Him. John knew that Jesus was the one that he was to prepare the way for, but he did not go out and reveal this to the world. He left it to Jesus to make His own Proclamation and give His proofs. He was prophesied in scriptures by name, address, date and mission. In spite of this the people that He came to had Him crucified. Jesus said that He appointed twelve apostles, but one of them was a devil. This devil betrayed Him and caused His crucifixion. In spite of this, because of the proofs His Cause, not Judas', became spread around the world.
The same thing is true of myself. I didn't know that I was the Promised Lamb until I found that I fulfilled the prophecies for the second coming of Jesus the Lamb, when I came in the name, address, date, and mission when I was at the address when I had the "stone with seven eyes before me" (Zech. 3:9 KJV). I was "clothed in dirty garments" (vs' 3,4). I was apposed by Satan on the date given by Daniel 12:12, for "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the 1335 days - 1963" (Zech: 3:1,2). I fulfilled the name for the return of Jesus the Lamb. The name is Leland (the land) for the iniquities (injustices) of Jesus and iniquities (injustices) of Leland (the land) suffered--were the same iniquities, "the dirty garment" (vs' 4, 9). I fulfill my mission when I set up and keep the court when I sat up the second IBC. And I judge the house of Israel under its new name Baha'i. Howbeit it happens to me the same way that it happened to the Promised Ones of the past. They cavil captiously at my signs and proofs, thus turning away from the Lamb of God.
I appointed twelve apostles and one of them, Anita, is a she-devil that has caused a dissident group. Her main attack against me is that she claims that I am not the Lamb because Baha'u'llah is the Lamb. But Baha'u'llah is the second Messiah seated on David's throne, therefore He cannot be the Lamb before the throne. All of her so-called points are but excuses, excuses, excuses to cover up the reason for her defection: although I eulogized her, chose her as an apostle and appointed her the vice-president of the IBC/UHJ, she became jealous of Neal Chase when I announced that he was the Peter of the Apostles. This is the same thing that happened with Jesus on His first coming. He eulogized Judas highly for his zeal in bringing many to Christ. However, when Jesus called Simon Bar-Jona "Peter", and said "on this rock I will build my church" (congregation), this devastated Judas' ego, turning him green with envy, causing him to become a dissident who betrayed Jesus leading to the death of this Great One.
One of the main proofs of a Promised One is that he gives his proofs, such as: coming in the promised name, at the promised place, at the promised date, and fulfilling his
9
prophesied mission. He can stand alone against the entire world, and come out victorious even though the forces of the entire world are leagued against him. Most people don't go by proofs, but conjecture. These are the ones that went down in the flood of Noah, were drowned in the Red Sea at the time of Moses, and were annihilated by Titus when he destroyed the city of Jerusalem and tore down their Temple.
There is another very good reason why only the Lamb could know the Lamb's identity: no one else was worthy at the time of the Lamb's appearance. All the so-called researchers and bumblebugs with all their differing theories about the Lamb's identity miss the boat by making their own interpretations and not being the Lamb they are not worthy.
who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals [the Will and Testament that was sealed with seven seals]?[19]....And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain[20]....and he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.[21]....and they sang a new song saying. "Worthy art thou to take the scroll and to open its seals....[22]"
That is, the one who was seated on the throne at the advent of the Lamb wasn't worthy (was corrupt - an antonym) to break the seven seals. Can we say that God is unworthy (corrupt) to break the seals, or the Bab, or Baha'u'llah - the Lion of the tribe of Judah the root of David, or 'Abdu'l-Baha? Certainly they were all worthy, therefore none of them were seated upon the throne in the fifth chapter of Revelation.
In Revelation 5 it says that the one seated on the throne holds in his right hand a scroll sealed with seven seals but no one in heaven, on earth or under the earth was found who was "worthy" to open the scroll and break the seals. "Heaven" cannot indicate the spiritual realm of the next life because no one in "heaven" was found who was worthy to open and unseal the scroll. The original word in scripture simply meant: deserving, being good enough, i.e., "worthy." We could never imagine that the spiritual realm or heaven, to which have ascended all the previous Manifestations and Holy Ones, did not contain any soul worthy of breaking the seals. So heaven refers to God's Revelation here on earth and those abiding in it, including the one seated on the throne at the time, because this throne was also in "heaven." No one in heaven (except the Lamb of course) was found to be pure enough spiritually to deserve the honor and responsibility of opening the scroll, not even the one seated on the throne. Because of this it is unthinkable that this refers to the days of Baha'u'llah or 'Abdu'l-Baha when they were seated upon the throne because we could never say they were not worthy! This throne is the same throne in the same heaven, but it exists after Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha have ascended into the spiritual realm. This throne is the throne that the Aghsan Guardians of the Baha'i Faith rule from: the throne of David, and the heaven in which it exists is the heaven of God's Kingdom on earth (see the Book of Iqan, pp. 67,71,73,76,78,80).

Spataro had God being the culprit. He stated in his letter of 4/17/92: "In Revelation the One who sits upon the Throne is God, Yahweh-El Abha', not the guardian!" He was placing God in the framework as being unworthy or corrupt. But Mason disagreed with Spataro, stating that he "was the king seated on the throne and the Hands were his courtiers." Mason and Mason only was the one seated upon the throne in the fifth chapter of Revelation. Thus he could not be the Lamb, for the Lamb is before the throne[23] and among the elders, and he takes the scroll out of the king's (Mason's) hand who is seated on the throne, and breaks the seals. But Spataro disagreed with this. He stated: "Mason Remey is the Lamb," in spite of the fact that Mason said he was the King. Would Mason take the scroll out of his own hand because he was corrupt and couldn't break the seals and then as the Lamb break the seals? He couldn't do this because the Lamb is not seated on the throne but he is standing: "between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing, [not seated on the throne]..." (Revised Standard Version, Rev. 5:6). "And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne" (Rev. 5:7).
Another reason it could only be Mason who is seated on the throne in chapter five is that of the above he was the only one unworthy, i.e., corrupt, for he did away with the Baha'i faith and proclaimed a new faith to replace it. All we need to do is read from a letter the 4/17/92 from Spataro (author of the book Charles Mason Remey and the Baha'i Faith) to Neal Chase, which establishes his corruption:
"Mason Remey...The founder of The Abha' World Faith and Establisher of the true Abhai Faith, the completion of the threefold Revelation [making Mason equivalent to a Manifestation] from the Bab, Baha'u'llah and [Mason] the Herald of the Covenant. The Bab is the forerunner; Baha'u'llah is the Manifestation of God, The Primal Point (Mashiyyat); Abdu'l-Baha is the Center of the Covenant; Shoghi Effendi, the Beloved Afnan Guardian; and Mason Remey the Establisher of [his own creation] the Abha' World Faith...
So without a shadow of a doubt it was Mason who is seated on the throne in chapter five because he was unworthy and became an enemy of the faith when he rejected it and established a religion in opposition to it. Spataro had a trinity (three Manifestations, or Revelators), a threefold Revelation of the Bab, Baha'u'llah and Mason (the Herald of the Covenant), who establishes his own religion (the Abhai Faith) in place of the Baha'i faith. Each of these religions are different. The Bab founded the Babi faith. It lasted nineteen years from 1844 to 1863, and ended with the proclamation of Baha'u'llah. Baha'u'llah founded the Baha'i faith, which is to last a full thousand years before another Manifestation is to appear with a new Revelation, founding a new religion. Baha'u'llah stated in the Aqdas that anyone, ere the lapse of a full thousand years, claiming to have a new Revelation was a lying imposter, and God would send down one that would deal unmercifully with him. In spite of this Mason Remey founded the Abhai faith in 1970 that he claimed would last for a full thousand years, thus doing away with the Baha'i faith. The only ones that came before him, who were seated upon the throne were Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha[24] and no way could anyone construe that either one of them was unworthy. Thus the Lamb, who is authoritative, who was not seated on the throne, but

before it (RSV) and among the elders, in order to save the Baha'i faith, took the scroll out of Mason's hands and broke the seals that Mason was unable to do, as he was unworthy. Mason started out with over a thousand Baha'is right after he made his proclamation, but all he established was confusion with his corruption. Just before he passed on those that believed in his scheme you could count on the fingers one hand.
With the passing of Mason the Baha'i faith came to an end. There were no longer any believers for they all became apostate, except the two Knights of Baha'u'llah, Drs. Opal and Leland Jensen. Thus because of Covenant-breaking the Baha'i world became unworthy, and all of their interpretations are nonauthoritative and phony. The Lamb who is authoritative by giving his authoritative proofs and explaining the whole Book of Revelation, was able to raise up a whole new creation of Baha'is that are firm under the Provisions of the Covenant including the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha. Therefore they and they alone are worthy, for "it is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes; these have been redeemed from mankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb, and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are spotless" (Rev. 14:4,5).
This event is to occur during times that are so dark and evil that no one in heaven, or on earth or under the earth is found to be worthy to explain the scroll. Since heaven means God's religion on earth, who are those on the earth and under the earth? Those on the earth are the people alive on earth who know nothing of the Baha'i Revelation. Those under the earth are those who are relegated to hell and are still walking around on the earth, the ones who did know about the Baha'i Revelation but who broke the Covenant. So, no one in the Faith, no one ignorant of the Faith and no one cast out from the Faith is worthy of opening the scroll and breaking its seals, except the Lamb and those that follow him.
Only the Lamb was found worthy[25] and deserving to open the scroll, so he takes it from the one seated on the throne who is not worthy. Who is this Lamb? He cannot be Baha'u'llah or 'Abdu'l-Baha because they were, each in turn, seated upon this throne in their lifetimes and the Lamb is not seated on that throne. It cannot be Shoghi Effendi, because then the one seated on the throne would have to be Baha'u'llah or 'Abdu'l-Baha, and this would indicate that they were unworthy. This occurs at a time when the one seated upon the throne is not found worthy.
Furthermore it is not the Bab who is this Lamb, because the scroll written within and on the backside came into existence long after the Bab had been martyred. The scroll is the Covenant of Baha'u'llah and the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha (written on the "backside"). Thus all these events occur sometime after this scroll came into existence. The Will and Testament was publicly unknown until after the passing of 'Abdu'l-Baha, and Shoghi Effendi stated that the people of his generation did not understand it, meaning that it was still "sealed" shut.
And I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within [esoteric] and on the back [delineated], sealed with seven seals; and I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll or to look into it [make it understood], and I wept much that no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. Then one of the elders said to me, "Weep not; lo, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, The Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its

seven seals."
The above refers to Baha'u'llah who was "the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David," thus he was "worthy to open the scroll and break its seals." But no place does it say that He did. In fact He didn't. The reason being He couldn't because the scroll was not written on the back during His lifetime. In the Book of Revelation chapter 5 it describes a scroll written within and on the back and sealed with seven seals. This scroll is the Book of the Covenant of Baha'u'llah (Kitab-i-Ahd and the Aqdas) which is written within (esoteric) obscure or vague, and the Will and Testament which is written on the back (delineated) made a draft, blueprint or skeleton and sealed it with seven seals, so it would not be understood as Shoghi Effendi said, until the coming of the promised Lamb. It was 'Abdu'l-Baha who sealed the scroll written on the back with seven seals! When 'Abdu'l-Baha wrote the Will and Testament (W&T) he wrote it in three parts and sealed it with seven seals. He sealed its meanings. When a king makes a document official (and even today in both business and government) he affixes his seal to it to show that it came from him. 'Abdu'l-Baha sealed all three parts with his signature and then on the envelope he sealed it again with his signature three more times where it was stuck down on the back, and then he sealed it again on the front where he addressed it to "Shoghi Effendi the chosen branch." Three seals on the three parts plus three seals on the envelope where it was stuck down plus one seal on the front makes seven seals (3+3+1=7). This is given by the sans guardians:
'Abdu'l-Baha's Will was written in three parts at three different times in His life. All three parts are in His handwriting and are signed by Him [3]. All three, comprising twelve pages in all, were in an envelope under lock and key in His safe when he died. The face of the envelope was addressed to Shoghi Effendi in the Master's handwriting and signed by him [1]. On the back it bears three more signatures [3] where it was stuck down.[26]
This fact is also explained in more detail by Mirza Ahmad Sohrab. He explains that parts one and two of the Will were sealed by 'Abdu'l-Baha by affixing his initials 'A.A.' in Persian lettering for 'Abdu'l-Baha Abbas and then he would press the stamped inscription which bore the Arabic insignia of, "O my two fellow prisoners," a quotation from the Qu'ran from the Surah of Joseph, chapter 12 verse 29 where Joseph was imprisoned with two others--the True Joseph being Baha'u'llah and the two fellow prisoners being the Bab who was killed and 'Abdu'l-Baha who lived to bring the message to the West. During the course of his travels in the United States, the Arabic insignia was lost and 'Abdu'l-Baha changed his method from initials with stamp to affixing his full signature in Persian. Part three is sealed in this way with the full Persian signature as well as the three seals on the back of the envelope and the seventh seal on the front.
Thus we note that the photostat copies of Part One and Part Two of the original Will are signed in the old way: that is with Abdu'l-Baha's initials, together with the seal [Arabic insignia], appearing below; while Part Three, which is the shortest, consisting of a single page, is signed in the new way, adopted after 1912: the name is full with no impression of the seal [of the Arabic insignia].
Now, in reference to the envelope which contained the Original Wills [Three

13
Parts]: the photostat copy shows four legible and clear signatures written in the new way; one appearing on the front of the envelope at the upper left corner, while the other three appear on the back, written across the flap at the point of sealing.
Consequently, apart from certain historical events in the Will itself, we can conclude without any doubt that Part One and Part Two were written before 1912, while Part Three was written after Abdu'l-Baha's return to Palestine from his Western trip, that is between 1913-1921. At this latter time, all three Parts were placed together in the same envelope [sealed with seven seals].[27]?
This proves beyond any doubt that both the One seated on the throne and the Lamb before the throne could not possibly have occurred before the guardianship of Shoghi Effendi, because he was named in that document that was sealed with seven seals, thus there was no document sealed with seven seals before Shoghi. The next one to be seated on the throne after 'Abdu'l-Baha was his son Mason Remey. This definitely places Mason Remey on the throne in chapter five of Revelation.
Thus the mission of the Lamb is the one to explain and set up the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha in the world which is the Charter of the World Order of Baha'u'llah:
The creative energies released by the Law of Baha'u'llah, permeating and evolving within the mind of 'Abdu'l-Baha, have, by their very impact and close interaction, given birth to an Instrument which may be viewed as the Charter of the New Order which is at once the glory and the promise of this most great Dispensation [of 500-thousand years][28]
It is the Will and Testament which is the document that has been violated by Shoghi Effendi's wife Ruhiyyih Khanum and the other Hands who did away with the head, the Aghsan guardianship. Also Mason Remey, being the corrupt one seated upon the throne of David, violates the provisions of that same Charter when he refuses to function with the body. Thus the world is in opposition to this Charter of the Will and Testament, "written on back, sealed with seven seals" of 'Abdu'l-Baha.
Thus the Lamb is someone to come after all of these other Holy Ones, to reestablish what the Covenant-breakers threw out. Those Covenant-breakers on Mt Carmel in the place of the "Kingdom" satup a sans[29] guardian Republic and Mason established a sans House of Justice "Kingdom" with he himself making all the decisions. The Lamb could not be the guardian of the Baha'i Faith because the guardian is seated upon the throne and he was not found worthy, and because of this the Lamb who is standing before the throne takes the scroll out of his hand and breaks the seals, by explaining the rest of the Book of Revelation.
And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders, I

saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth; and he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints; and they sang a new song [my explanations and commentaries] saying, "Worthy art thou to take the scroll and to open its seals,..." (Rev. 5:6-9)
I have shown that I am the only authoritative person in the world today being the only Knight of Baha'u'llah left and fulfilling the prophecy of the Knight on the white horse in Revelation chapters 19 and 6. According to chapter 5, I took out of the hand of the guardian, Mason Remey, the scroll of the Covenant and Will and Testament because he was unworthy to break the seals and explain its contents, as Shoghi Effendi had said it was not understood.
I am the only authoritative person in the world today. Jesus was the author of the Book of Revelation and he sent it by an angel to John who wrote it down:
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place, and he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw (Rev. 1:1,2).
Who could be more authoritative on knowing the meaning of the Book of Revelation than Jesus that gave this Revelation? So it is Jesus on his return that is that authoritative person. I fulfilled the prophecies in Zechariah 3:1-10 for the return of Jesus the High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek, the sacrificial Lamb returned as the Lamb with seven horns and seven eyes, standing in the Holy of Holies before the Ark of the Covenant. Being the only authoritative person in the world today my explanations are the only authoritative and true explanations. Now I don't care whether you accept them or not. It doesn't make a bit of difference to me. You can go straight to hell along with the rest of them for all I care. I am going to be victorious with or without you! Now I have a question to ask you. Who the H... do you think you are calling me the AntiChrist??? From what authority and from what source do you speak??? You're so ignorant that you don't know from nothing! What do you think the antichrist means? The ignorant Christians down through the ages have called every bad guy the antichrist, not knowing what the contraction means. They called the various emperors, such as Nero and Domitian the antichrist. Luther called the Pope the antichrist. Muhammad was called the antichrist. Also various kings were called antichrist; Napoleon, the Kaiser, Hitler, Mussolini, and also in Russia the crazed monk Rasputin. Today many of the blacks call Reagan and Bush the antichrist. They even said 'Abdu'l-Baha was antichrist: "Some say 'Abdu'l-Baha is antichrist. They are not informed of the Baha'i principles" ('Abdu'l-Baha, Star of the West Vol 4 No. 10).
The Christians know practically nothing of the meanings of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. They interpret "The Beast, 666," as coming out of the ten countries of the defunct Holy Roman Empire in Europe, a strong man, that will become a world dictator--the antichrist. They claim that these countries are the ten common market countries in Europe (today there are twelve that blows their theory), that Jesus Christ is to return in the sky and all the firm Christians will rapture up into the sky and be with Him. This is to start a seven year tribulation period, the week of the covenant. They claim that the antichrist will make a covenant with the Jews and he will protect them from a Russian
15
antichrist will make a covenant with the Jews and he will protect them from a Russian invasion of Israel. He will build their temple for them and he will be eulogized and all the world will support him. The crux of their mythology is as follows:
The Hebrew prophets warned of a false peace plan that will be accepted by the Jews near the end of time. The attack upon Israel by Russia and other nations prophesied by Ezekiel for the "latter years" will come when the Jews feel secure in their land.
Furthermore, Israel and perhaps many other nations will enter into a covenant (treaty) with the final world dictator wherein they will guaranteed peace. The duration of the agreement will be seven years. This seven-year agreement will coincide with the seventieth week of Daniel's prophecy, and genuine peace will be short-lived. The treaty will be broken after three and one half years, and its breaking will usher in earth's most terrible time:
"And he shall confirm the covenant with many or one week; and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the over-spreading of abomination he shall make desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (Dan. 9:27)"
Commenting on Daniel 9:27 and the efforts for peace in the Middle East;, Walvoord and Walvoord have written:
"A peace settlement in the Middle East is one of the most important events predicted for the end time. The signing of this peace treaty will start the final countdown leading to Armageddon and then introduce the new world dictator--the infamous Antichrist. According to Daniel 9:27, the last seven years leading up to the second coming of Christ will begin with just such a peace settlement. The same passage describes a covenant to be made between the nation of Israel and the prince who will rise to power (Dan. 9:26)....[30]
The Consolidation of the Power of the Antichrist
When the Beast (the Antichrist) makes peace with Israel and guarantees her security at the beginning of Daniel's seventieth week, he is not in complete control of the world. Although he is headed for ultimate dictatorship, the earth is at that time still given considerable nationalism. The Beast [antichrist] will have to fight for total control of the earth. To gain unchallenged dominion, he will have to face the military might of both the Russian confederacy and a powerful Eastern force, probably China....
Following the miraculous defeat of the Russian armies and their allies for Israel's sake, The Antichrist will vent his fury against the massive Eastern force of 200 million moving toward the Middle East to challenge his power. The casualties in this confrontation will total one-third of the world's population.

With all the world subservient to him, the final world dictator will deify himself, demanding worship in the Jews' temple in Jerusalem. He will then assume total economic control, requiring his mark in the hand or forehead in order for a person to transact any business. The Beast will rule the earth, assisted by the false prophet and energized by Satan. The entire world will be under the control of a satanic trinity....
The Antichrist will have accomplished the dream of Hitler, Napoleon, the Caesars, and others He will be dictator of the world.[31]
This is supposed to bring them to the end of the week (seven year tribulation) where the antichrist and his armies will battle Christ on his return [Baha'u'llah]. And whom do you think he states who will be the return of Jesus to battle against the Beast, the strong man, the dictator, the antichrist? Van Imp tells us that this savior will be the knight on the white horse:
"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and he that sat on him was called faithful and true, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven [Baha'u'llah's Revelation] followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS (Rev. 19:16)."[32]
But the enemies of the Lord will be defeated:
"And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone [thermal nuclear holocaust]. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh (Rev. 19:19-21)."[33]
In the wake of the destruction of Armageddon....The kingdom [Davidic] of Christ [Baha'u'llah] will be established and the violent drama of the ages will end. There will be peace at last.[34]

Van Imp, as well as other writers have linked The Beast, 666, the strong man, the dictator and the antichrist together into one person that is to come at the end time in a seven year period--the last week. This is because nonauthoritative persons in Christianity, like the nonauthoritative persons in the Baha'i faith, don't know what the heck they are talking about. Peter said:
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master ['Abdu'l-Baha's W&T] who brought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction. And many ["mainstream Baha'is"] will follow their licentiousness [disregarding or not conforming to established rules or limits[35]], and because of them the way of truth will be reviled. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words; from of old their condemnation has not been idle, their destruction has not been asleep (2 Peter 2:1-3).
Just as the Covenant-breakers on Mt. Carmel and the dissidents against God's Promised One for today who alone has authority to explain the prophecies of scriptures, so there were nonauthoritative persons in the days of the apostles who also brought in destructive heresies, paganizing and corrupting Christianity. Peter also said concerning authoritative and nonauthoritative people:
First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scriptures is a matter of one's own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God (2 Peter 1:20,21).
The Beast started at the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire and came together as the United Nations in the end times.
Six sixty six (666), or 616 in the RSV--(the footnote to 666 reads "Other ancient authorities read six hundred and sixteen" Rev. 13:18 RSV), this refers to Abu Sufian of the Umayyad Clan of the Korish Tribe, who was the most violent opposer to Muhammad who became the Emir (Mayor) of Mecca in 616 A.D., who opposed and finally drove Muhammad out of Mecca where he fled to Medina, and then there ensued fierce battles between them, with Muhammad finally becoming the victor, forcing Abu Sufian to submit to the Koran. Later Abu Sufian's son, Mu'awia, made war on Ali, having him killed as well as his sons, Husan and Husain. Mu'awia then usurped the Caliphate in 660-61 starting the Dragon of Revelation twelve, which came to an end 1260 years later in 1920-21 A.D. with the League of Nations mandate that stripped Turkey of the ten countries that were part of its empire and had France and Britain administer. Then making Turkey a Democracy. By an election Atta Turk became its first president who declared Turkey a Christian nation, bringing an end to the Sultanate and Caliphate.
The president of the United States whose people were primarily from the Nations of Europe that were part of the Holy Roman Empire, is the strong man of the Beast (the United Nations). Roosevelt brought it into being after World War II. The Beast started out in 731 A.D. with the separation of Rome by the Pope and a synod that excommunicated the Emperor in Constantinople. The Pepins of France united with the Papacy and brought

Europe into the New Empire. In the eleventh century Russia broke away. With Henry the eighth England broke away. In 1776 the United States broke away. In 1788-1799 with the French Revolution France broke away, and by 1806 it ceased to be an entity.
Before World War II, the empires of Britain, Portugal, France, Holland and the U.S. controlled world trade by posting tariffs to protect their own industries. These tariffs, which are added on to the price of imported goods, made it difficult for outside nations to trade with countries within the imperial systems.
It became obvious during World War II that the imperial system would not survive the post war era. So a pair of brilliant economists, John Masynard Keynes, of Great Britain, and Harry Dexter White, of the U.S. got together to draw up plans for a replacement system. They made these plans in Bretton Woods New Hampshire, and the new system took its name from that small town.[36]
The problems that they endeavored to solve were the instability of worldwide currency, by nations' manipulations, and indiscriminate raising of protective tariffs by nations which greatly inhibited free international trade that closed markets to lesser-developed countries.
The Bretton's solution to solve the problem,...proposed setting fixed currency exchange rates. Two international financial institutions, the international Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, were established for this purpose.
Besides setting currency exchange rates, these institutions would also have power to provide credit to the world's poorer countries and to lend money to nations ravaged by war.
The new plans would solve the second problem by establishing the "most favored nation" system of trade. Nations which had trouble competing for international business could be granted this special status and thus would be exempt from paying tariffs, these nations would be able to sell their goods more cheaply, and thus stimulate trade. The international pact which runs this system is called the "General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade," or GATT.
The Bretton Woods' Enforcer: The whole Bretton Woods system depended upon having a power great enough to enforce the international agreements and discipline nations which violated the rules. The U.S was the logical choice for "enforcer." The American dollar was already being used as the basic world currency because it was stable and backed by the gold standard and a healthy economy.[37]
Here we see the U.S. becoming a world leader and its president more and more powerful.

However:
Bretton Woods began failing in the early 1960's....The U.S. dollar lost its stability and power, due to increasing deficits in the country's balance of payments (the value of goods it bought from other nations compared to the value of goods it sold to other nations) and the removal of the gold standard.[38]
After many unsuccessful efforts by various groups to overhaul the Bretton Woods system it became obvious that something new was needed. It was in this vacuum, that David Rockefeller stepped forth. He instigated research into the complex problems international affairs faced. Rockefeller picked Columbia University's specialist on international relations, Zbigniew Brzezinski, as the key intellectual who would help him formulate the policies of his new system.
Newsweek described the commission's inception: "...The Trilateral Commission, a brainchild of David Rockefeller, was transformed into reality by Zbigniew Brzezinski."
According to Senator Barry Goldwater, "Zbigniew Brzezinski and David Rockefeller screened and selected every individual who was invited to participate in shaping and administering the new world order."
The pair attracted some the keenest minds of Europe, Japan and the U.S. to join their new force.[39]
The commission decided that the core of the new world economic system would be Japan, the European Common Market and the U.S. Those three powers together represented 70 percent of world trade and therefore had the "right and the duty" to create the new system, the commission contended. Collectively, these three powers could enforce the replacement for the Bretton Woods agreements, which the U.S. alone no longer had the power to look after.
This is how the commission got its name; "trilateral" refers to the three spheres of economic power and influence being combined into one force.[40]
The areas the Trilateral Commission claims the right to regulate are far greater in scope and magnitude than those covered by Bretton Woods.
According to Novak:" The rules cover such areas as international monetary systems, international trade in raw materials and industrial goods (a new area not covered in Bretton Woods) and use of 'commons,' such as the oceans, space and the (north and south) poles. These rules are seen as universally applicable and subject to sanctions in the event they are

violated."
Other new provisions to the system are the need for relationships with communist, Third World and OPEC groups. This system indeed intends to unite the whole world economically.
Novak raised a dilemma in his article on the commission: "It is clear that the thinking of the Trilateral Commission goes beyond Bretton Woods and creates an economic reality for which there is no complementary political reality--that is, a world economy without a world government."
It's clear that the Trilateralists do not believe that their new economic order can exist in a political vacuum. Otherwise, why would they have deliberately hand-picked certain members to be trained and groomed for the highest political offices of their home nations?
Nowhere is this Trilateral strategy more evident than in the U.S. According to an article in the Atlantic Monthly, "Although the commission's primary concern is economic, the Trilateralists pinpointed a vital political objective: To gain control of the American presidency.
Jimmy Carter, in his first term as Georgia's governor, impressed David Rockefeller by establishing a trade relationship with Japan for his state. Carter also showed an unusual amount of ambition as he sought opportunities to learn foreign policy, and also to meet David Rockefeller.
At this point Carter's ambition matched with the commission's needs. "The founders, anxious to have a liberal Southerner in their ranks, invited Jimmy Carter, then the governor of Georgia, to join them."
Carter became a charter member of the commission in 1973. He received a thorough indoctrination in trilateralist views, particularly on foreign policy, from Brzezinski himself.
There is no question that the commission groomed Carter to be President. He was virtually a political unknown. Yet because of the enormous behind-the-scenes power of the Trilateralists in the news media, he came from nowhere to capture the White House.
As soon as Carter took office, he packed his administration with fellow Trilateralists
U.S. News and World Report wrote at the time: "The 'Trilateralists' have taken charge of foreign policy-making in the Carter administration, and already the immense power they wield is sparking some controversy. Active or former members of the Trilateral Commission now head every key agency involved in mapping U.S. strategy for dealing with the rest of the world.
"Altogether, 16 high posts in the administration are held by men and women associated with the organization. Some see this concentration of power as a conspiracy at work."
Not only does the commission hold the strings attached to high government officials here, but the same situation exists in Japan and Europe as well. Novak notes, "Its membership roster reads like a Who's Who in business, labor and government."
In this way the commission assures itself of having its plans for a one-world government instituted in the quickest way possible.
In the 1980 U.S. presidential election, the trilateralists seem to be hedging their bets. Two potential candidates of the U.S. Presidency, George Bush and John Anderson, are members of the Trilateral Commission. The membership of these prominent men brought the commission considerable national attention, and along with that went several strong blasts of
21
criticism.[41]
The trilateralists are a partially secret and most powerful government, and of which most people have never even heard of it much less know its ramifications. It decides who is going to be the president of the U.S., and has a very tight control of what he must do. All three front runner candidates for the presidency: George Bush, Bill Clinton and Ross Perot are members of this Clique and do their bidding. It is a hidden government unauthorized by the people, set up by the extremely rich people of this country, to get control of the wealth of this world. For instance "The New World Order" of Bush did not set the most despotic government in the world back on the throne in Quwait to better the conditions in this country, or the world, and it was not to establish democracy in this world but "for our [trilateralists'] interest." Two percent of the people control ninety eight percent of the wealth, and their aim is to get richer and more powerful and for the poor to become poorer and the middle class to foot the bill by paying the lion's share of the taxes, and to make up the armed forces to protect and to keep them in power.
The most powerful news-media are members of this commission and they pooh-pooh its mighty and sinister power:
It's been interesting to me to watch various news media heavyweights rush to defend the commission against charges that it has gained undue power in the world's governments.
Publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News and World Report have all waid pretty much the same things. In general, they publish articles which minimize the commission's influence, characterizing its members as a bunch of frustrated and powerless armchair idealists who wish they could institute some of their ideas in world affairs.
Other similar articles call it simply a floating study group with no essential power, and they label the commission's critics as isolationist conservatives or Marxist-leaning leftists.
I wonder if the fact that so many news media executives are also commission members has anything to do with these published defenses. The Trilateral Commission's members include men like the editor-in-chief of Time magazine, directors of the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post and the editorial director of the Chicago Sun-Times.
For the media to say that the Trilateral Commission has no essential political power,...is an insult to the intelligence of the American public. It also assumes that most Americans didn't read or don't remember the many articles which detailed the commission's growing power and were published in those same newspapers and magazines in the 1977 era.[42]
Anybody can see that America has become the most powerful nation, militarily, economically and politically. At the end of World War II there were four world powers (Beast Nations), U.S., England, France and Russia. They were the victors of the war and were the nuclear powers. Finally the U.S. and Russia became the two world powers. Because of the economic (extreme wealth), star wars, and the world political structure of

the Trilateralists, the U.S. has brought an end to the Soviet Union and brought down the Berlin wall. Thus Bush made the remark, that now there was just one world power left. This enraged Gorbachev. This is in contrast to what the Christian clergy, evangelists - including Billy Graham, scholars and other nonauthoritative persons have preached and written on eschatology (the final consummation of things--the close of the age).
They tell that the Roman empire would be reestablished and would come out of the ten common market countries of Europe (there are now twelve common market countries). Out of these ten countries there will emerge a strong man and he will put down three countries and thus become the world dictator. This is to start with the "rapture," a mythical going up into the sky with the return of Jesus. This is deduced by them by their erroneous interpretation of Revelation chapter thirteen and Daniel chapter seven, also chapter 9:24-27, and I Thessalonians 4:13-18[43] and 2 Thess. 2:1-12.
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems upon its horns and a blasphemous name upon its heads. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear's and its mouth was like a lion's mouth (Rev. 13:1,2).
Daniel said, "I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea. And four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another. The first was like a lion and lad eagle's wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand upon two feet like a man; and the mind of a man was given to it. And behold another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side; it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told 'Arise, devour much flesh.' After this I looked, and looked, and lo, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back; and the beast had four heads; and dominion was given to it (Dan. 7:2-6).
The nonauthoritative Christians have interpreted these beasts as:
The lion then represents Nebuchadnezzar's Babylonian Empire. The bear finds fulfillment in the Medeo-Persian empire that followed. The bear was raised on one side because the Persians were stronger than the Medes. The three ribs in the bear's mouth indicates three major conquests of that empire. The leopard having four wings and four heads, was a prophetic picture of the Grecian Empire, led by Alexander the Great, the Greeks were swift and devastating in their conquest of the Medes and Persians. Alexander declared himself emperor of the world and great honors were paid him. But the young military genius died in his early thirties and his empire was divided between his four generals, fulfilling the prophecy that the leopard would have four heads. The fourth beast, described as "dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly," represents the Roman Empire.
This could not possibly be the correct interpretation as even they say that the four beasts of Daniel is the same beast of the Book of Revelation. This book makes it indubitably clear that everything in the Book of Revelation is for future events. They are prophecies, not history. Therefore saying that these were the same as the statue of

Nebuchadnezzar dream they are completely wrong:
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants what must soon take place; and he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near (Rev. 1:1-3).
After this I looked, and lo, in heaven [of prophecy] an open door! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up hither, and I show you what must take place after this" (Rev. 4:1).
Besides being in history their interpretations have Babylonia being the lion, but I could find no place that the symbol of Babylon was the lion, nor could I find that the symbol of Media and Persia was the bear; whereas, prophecy has the symbol of Media and Persia as a "ram" and the he-goat was the king of Greece! "As for the ram which you saw with two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia. And the he-goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn between his eyes is the first king" (Dan. 8:20,21). No place could I find that the symbol of Greece was the leopard. Whereas, the symbol of England is the Lion. At one time the U.S., that has the symbol of the eagle, was a colony of England. In 1776 with the Declaration of Independence it was broken of from the lion. The symbol of Russia is the bear (the Russian Bear). The symbol of the body of the beast is the leopard. When Charlemagne, a Frank (France) that had the symbol of the panther ("pard" in French), conquered the Saxons that had the lion ("leo" in greek) he set up his capitol in Germany. Thus the leo and the pard were united to become the leopard. These two countries France and Germany were the two pair of wings (four wings of a bird on its back[44]). The four heads is the countries where the Holy Roman Empire had moved its capitol: France, Germany, Austria, Prussia. On Christmas day in 800 A.D. the Pope crowned Charlemagne the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Thus the symbol of the body of the Holy Roman Empire is the leopard. These three beasts became the four beasts by the first beast becoming two beasts by the U.S. (the eagle) becoming separated from lion (England). Thus the fourth beast of Daniel 7:7, which in reality is the fifth beast and is different than the other beast, that is, it was not part of the former Roman empire. It was different by being Islamic. Believe it or not it is this beast that the nonauthoritative mythologians of the Christians interpret, saying it represents the Roman Empire from which the ten common market countries of Europe descend, and they say it is to produce their strong man (dictator and antichrist). Taken from Van Impe's, Israel's Final Holocaust which represents the majority Christian theology on eschatology as follows:
The fourth beast, described as "dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly," represents the Roman empire. Daniel's interpretation of his vision of the four beasts gives little explanation of the significance of the beasts themselves or the empires they represent. That is not strange since they are but an enlargement of his interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream.... (p. 31).
The Christians make this mistake as they don't consider Islam as a viable and true Revelation from God.

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible and dreadful and exceedingly strong; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things (Dan 7:7-8).
This has nothing to do with the Roman Empire. It pertains to the corruption of Islam, which became the most powerful world power during the "Dark Ages" in Europe. The ten horns pertain to the Caliphate that usurped the secular and spiritual headship of Islam. Muhammad had verbally appointed 'Ali to be his successor. He was sick and knew he was passing. He called for his secretary so that he could have the appointment put in writing, but before he passed on a discussion ensued and he passed before he could have it written down. Omar went out of the tent and announced the passing of Muhammad to the many thousands waiting to hear any news concerning their beloved prophet whom they knew was very sick. A cry went up, "What will we do? What will we do?" Omar replied, "We will elect a successor,' and he nominated Abu Bakr. With one great acclaim they shouted, "Abu Bakr! Abu Bakr!" Thus Omar corrupted Islam. He fulfills the prophecy of Revelation 9:1,2:
And the fifth angel ['Ali] blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit [the pit of error], and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft (Rev. 9:1,2).
Omar was one of the most firm and loyal supporters of Muhammad, but when his test came he fell from his high position to the lowest and most abominable state. 'Ali and his descendants were the Imams (spiritual leaders) and Muhammad had designated for him to be the secular leader as well. Omar, by changing the law of Muhammad, brought to life a great heresy for the succession to be elected instead of descendants of Muhammad.
The first thing that Abu Bakr did after mounting the throne to further break the covenant was to declare an offensive war on the Roman Empire, as the Koran forbids offensive warfare. He only lived several years after becoming the caliph, and Omar was elected to succeed him, then after Omar, Uthman was elected Caliph. These three Caliphs brought the whole Christian Middle East and Zoroastrian Persia as well as Jerusalem and Egypt into the newly formed Islamic Empire. Then 'Ali of the Hamish Clan (the Clan of the prophet) was elected Caliph. Then followed ten Umayyad Caliphs and among them was the little horn, Mu'awia, of Daniel 7:7,8, that I have just quoted.
In 660 A.D. Mu'awia started a conspiracy to unseat 'Ali from the throne by accusing him of assassinating Uthmen, which became a Holy War against the innocent true successor of Muhammad. He was waylayed and killed and later his son Imam Husan was killed and then his successor Imam Husayn. Mu'awia was set on the throne in 661 as a result of the Holy War. Thus Mu'awia did away with the system of election of the first three Caliphs replacing it with the Umayyad dynasty. Consequently he plucked up the first three caliphs by their roots.
He shall speak words against the Most High [Allah] and shall wear out the saints of the Most High [Allah], and shall think to change the times and the
25
law [of succession]; and they [the saints] shall be given unto his hand for a time, two times and a half time (Dan. 7:25).
A circle is a time of 360 degrees. Three and a half times 360 is 1260. There are 1260 years from 661, the start of the fourth beast of Daniel 7:7, to 1921 when this fourth (in reality the fifth beast) came to an end, with the dismantling of Ottoman (Turkish) Empire. This Beast is the same as the Dragon in chapter twelve of Revelation with the first six verses explained by 'Abdu'l-Baha and the rest explained by myself in brief in this letter.
As I looked, thrones were placed and one that was ancient of days [Baha'u'llah] took his seat; his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, its wheels were burning fire. A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court [IBC/UHJ] sat in judgement, and the books were opened. I looked then because of the sound of the great words which the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days [Baha'u'llah] and was presented before him. And to him [Baha'u'llah] was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed (Dan. 7:9-14).
The son of man that came to the ancient of days (Baha'u'llah), is the Knight of Baha'u'llah on a white horse, and the Kingdom that he establishes is the Kingdom of Baha'u'llah which the Covenant-breakers on Mt. Carmel threw out and he reestablishes the House of Justice that Mason abandoned.
"The World Order of Baha'u'llah" is to replace "The World Order of Bush," or rather "The World Order of the Trilateralists." It is also to replace "The World Order of the Covenant-breakers" on Mt. Carmel, and the "World Order of Abhai faith."
Now concerning the "last week" of the seventy weeks of Daniel for the crucifixion of Christ. The nonauthoritative Christians interpret the start the seventy weeks, or four hundred and ninety (490) years from the fourth edict, which is that of Artaxerxes in the year of 444 B.C. This is recorded in the second chapter of Nehemiah. They say that after 69 weeks, or 483 years:
....the Messiah would come as the Prince but He would be rejected and cut off. This is exactly what happened. Precisely 483 years after the issuing of the decree to build Jerusalem, the Messiah came riding into Jerusalem as had been prophesied (pp. 35-36)....At the moment of Jesus' death the prophetic clock stopped ticking as far as this vision for Israel is concerned, for it deals with that time in history when God interacts specifically with that nation (p. 36)....The prophetic clock will remain silent, leaving one week of years unfulfilled, until the church makes its exit from the earth at the return of Christ--the Rapture. Israel will then again become the object of God's special dealing; the final seven years of Daniel's vision will be counted off in the world's most terrible time. The final stages of Daniel's prophecies will
26
all find fulfillment simultaneously (p. 36 Israel's Final Holocaust)
Ten nations that once were part of the Roman Empire will join together in an economic and political alliance. The "little horn speaking great things" will emerge as a powerful leader to whom three national heads of the new European federation will give full allegiance. Soon the other seven leaders will follow, making this evil man a dictator of immense power. This newly acclaimed head of the revived Roman Empire will sign a seven-year peace treaty [covenant] with Israel but will break it in the middle of the week--the middle of the final seven years. (ibid pp. 36-37)
This is all a bunch of hogwash! 'Abdu'l-Baha puts an end to all this silly nonsense. There is no seven year period--the week of the covenant that is left over until the end of time. He tells us that:
To conclude: in the Book of Daniel, from the rebuilding of Jerusalem to the martyrdom of Christ, seventy weeks are appointed; for by the martyrdom of Christ the sacrifice is accomplished and the altar destroyed. This is a prophecy of the manifestation of Christ. These seventy weeks begin with the restoration and the rebuilding of Jerusalem, concerning which four edicts were issued by three kings.
The first was issued by Cyrus in the year 536 B.C.; this is recorded in the first chapter of the Book of Ezra. The second edict, with reference to the rebuilding of Jerusalem, is that of Darius of Persia in the year 519 B.C.; this is recorded in the sixth chapter of Ezra. The third is that of Artaxerxes in the seventh year of his reign, that is in 457 B.C.; this is recorded in the seventh chapter of Ezra. The fourth is that of Artaxerxes in the year 444 B.C.; this is recorded in the second chapter of Nehemiah.
But Daniel refers especially to the third edict which was issued in the year 457 B.C. Seventy weeks make four hundred and ninety days. Each day, according the text of the Holy Book, is a year. For in the Bible it is said: "The day of the Lord is one year." Therefore four hundred and ninety days are four hundred and ninety years. The third edict of Artaxerxes was issued four hundred and fifty-seven year before the birth of Christ, and Christ when he was martyred and ascended was thirty-three years of age. When you add thirty-three to four hundred and fifty-seven, the result is four hundred and ninety, which is the time announced by Daniel for the manifestation of Christ.
But in the twenty-fifth verse of the ninth chapter of the Book of Daniel this is expressed in another manner, as seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; and apparently this differs from the first saying. Many have remained perplexed at these differences, trying to reconcile these two statements. How can seventy weeks be right in one place, and sixty-two weeks and seven weeks in another? These two sayings do not accord.
But Daniel mentions two dates. One of these dates begins with the command of Artaxerxes to Ezra to rebuild Jerusalem; this is the seventy weeks which came to and end with the ascension of Christ, when by his martyrdom the sacrifice and oblation ceased.
The second period, which is found in the twenty-sixth verse, means that after the termination of the rebuilding of Jerusalem until the ascension of Christ, there will be sixty-two weeks; the seven weeks are the duration of the rebuilding of Jerusalem, which took forty-nine years: when you add these
27
seven weeks to the sixty-two weeks, it makes sixty-nine weeks, and in the last week (69-70) the ascension of Christ took place. These seventy weeks are thus completed, and there is no contradiction.
Artaxerxes gave his order to Ezra on March 21, 457 B.C.[45] Forty-nine years later in 408 B.C. the city was rebuilt including the walls and the moat. Four hundred and thirty-four years later on March 21, 27 A.D. John the Baptist began his ministry. Three and onehalf years later he Baptized Jesus on September 21, 30 A.D.[46] Then the Spirit of God descended on Jesus and he began his ministry. Three and one-half years latter on March 21, 34 A.D. Jesus was martyred. Jesus at the age of 33[47] in 34 A.D. was crucified.
This lays to rest some of the Christian mythologies created by a nonauthoritative clergy and Scholars and other daydreamers. The biggest blunder ever is their interpretation of the last week where they state that at the beginning of the last week the antichrist (world dictator) makes a covenant with Israel and then breaks it in the middle of the week. They are so ignorant that they don't know from nothing. The last week is not as they say "the beginning of the rapture." This is pure nonsense, as well as is non-Biblical. As shown above the week of the covenant with Israel started at the end of the 69th week in 27 A.D. with John the Baptist. In the middle of the week, 30 A.D., is the Advent of Jesus, the living sacrifice, which does away with animal sacrifice: "And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; for half of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease...[48] The covenant is entitled The New Testament, which means The New Covenant. This is what Christianity is all about. Paul explains this Covenant to Israel in his book of "Hebrews." The reason that they are so wrong is that Jesus never left authoritative persons or an administration to succeed him. Jesus spoke in parables:[49]
And when he was alone, those who were about him with the twelve asked him concerning the parables. And he said to them: "To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God [Davidic], but for those outside everything is in parables; so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear

but not understand; but lest they should turn again; and be forgiven (Mark 4:10-13).
Here Jesus explains the parables to his apostles but not to those others. He did not want them to understand, or to repent and be forgiven.
With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it; he did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his disciples he explained everything (Mark 4:33,34).
The apostles knew the meaning of what Jesus said but as he didn't want the people to understand his parables so the apostles in their gospels and epistles didn't explain the Kingdom. And the apostles didn't leave an authoritative clergy to succeed them. The reason being if the Christians understood the Revelation of Jesus they would have destroyed it. Thus the words have come down to us, but not the understanding. The New Testament message has remained a secret until the second coming of Christ[50] [Baha'u'llah]. He explained some things and 'Abdu'l-Baha some more but the bulk of the Revelation of Jesus has been left for the return of Jesus, the Son returned to establish his Father's [Baha'u'llah's] Kingdom. This is so the Cause of Baha'u'llah could go $ through all the tests and all its followers fail, so that when the kingdom is established the blunders will not be repeated, because of the terrible punishment that is waiting the violators and those that follow them. After the catastrophe is over and the Kingdom is set up, the people that are left and their descendants will approach the Revelation and the Kingdom with fear and trembling for at least a full thousand years.

Now we come to the word antichrist that you so maliciously, ignorantly, and foolishly called me. Let us take the word anti-christ and see what it means in order to identify him, or it. First of all let us take the prefix "anti" which means opposed or against. Then we take the word Christ to see its meaning. Every good Christian will tell you that it means the last name of Jesus, or the Lord, or the savior, or the anointed. Actually it is the Greek word for the Hebrew word Messiah which means a sperm descendant of King David that is anointed king by the Holy Spirit. That is the word "Christ" pertains to the genealogies of only two people: Jesus, the Son, and Baha'u'llah, the Father.
The only place that the word "antichrist" is mentioned is in the first and second letters of John. So to understand the meaning of "antichrist" we must start there: "Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?"[51] That is, that Jesus is a sperm descendant of King David. Thus the word "Christ" means the genealogies of Jesus and Baha'u'llah: "This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father [Baha'u'llah] and the Son [Jesus]."[52] The words "Son" and "Father" pertains solely to the potency of their respective revelations. Those that do not accept the genealogy of Jesus back to King David through his earthly father "Joseph" as given in both Matthew and Luke, is the antichrist. This rejection began in the days of the apostles, and thus the antichrist began in the days of the apostles:

Beloved do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ [the Messiah--a descendant of David that is anointed] has come in the flesh [of David] is of God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus [genealogy] is not of God. This is the spirit of antichrist, of which you heard that is coming and now it is in the world already.[53]
The Jews knew that the word "Christ" meant the son of David: "Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, saying. 'What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?' They said to him. 'The son of David' (Matt. 22:41,42). However when Paul brought the Gospels (the Good News of the Kingdom) to the Pagan Gentiles in western Asia Minor (now Turkey), He taught them that Jesus was the Christ, a sperm descendant of David, and they accepted this and believed, but when John came to that area all of them had defected from that belief and had corrupted Christianity with their Pagan doctrine of the trinity and deified Jesus making him God. As I have dissidents today, that went back to their vomit, John found dissidents that had once believed but returned to their vomit. Instead of continuing in the belief that Jesus was the descendant of David through his father Joseph, they made him the Son of God physically, which is the Christian belief today. John wrote of them to the new believers that he had raised up:
Children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists [against Jesus' genealogy] have come; therefore we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us [becoming dissidents], but they were not of us; for if they were of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out, that it might be plain that they all are not of us. But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all know. I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and know that no lie is the truth. Who is the liar but he who denies Jesus is the Christ [physical male descendant of David]? This is the antichrist,...[54]
When Paul back in Rome heard about this and as this heresy was becoming apparent in Rome as well, he wrote to the Romans, making it very clear that Jesus was of the sperm of David:
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed [sperma] of David according to the flesh; And [only] declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: (Romans 1:3,4 - KJV).
David had a sperm that descended down to Joseph, who was of the sperm of David, and Mary had an ovum, and through union of this ovum and sperm, Jesus was conceived making Jesus the Christ. If Jesus was not of this sperm descendance of David he could not be the Christ and would be an imposter. It is obvious that the antichrists are the trinitarians that don't accept Jesus' descendance from his physical father Joseph back to David (Luke 3:23-31). Their concept of Jesus is mythical Jesus. This mythical Jesus, who is not a descendant of David, replaces the real Jesus who is the Christ. With these Pagans the word Christ lost

its meaning, becoming the last name of Jesus, or meaning something else, such as savior, Lord, God, the Christ spirit, etc. This mythical Jesus, that was not a sperm descendant of David, then entered the church buildings as God, which were called temples in Jesus' time. The word "church" referred to the believers, or ecclesiasia, the congregation, not the temple in Jerusalem. Any buildings where they met (houses, barns, haylofts, etc.) were called temples. The pictures and statues of him are everywhere: In the church buildings, i.e., temples: Cathedrals and churches, and these Pagans wear crucifixes (idols) of him around their necks showing that they are chained to an idol of this false god. Paul warned the Christians that this would happen and that he would be revealed by the return of Jesus who would slay him with the breath of his mouth (his words), that is, his explanations and commentaries.
Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling$to meet him, we beg you, brethren, not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter purporting to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion [apostasy] comes first, and the man of lawlessness [not under the law of conception- -sperm and ovum] is revealed, the son of perdition [eternal damnation] who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple [church buildings] of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you this? And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time.[55] For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed [exposed], and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by his appearing and his coming [his second coming]. The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan [Nimrod and Semiramis][56] will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false [a lie], so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
You see, this false god had already taken his seat in the temple, i.e., church buildings, at the time of Paul and John as the mythical Jesus that was corrupted by the Pagan converts. It is not that he is to come in the last days but it is that he is to be revealed and exposed at the last time by the one that fulfills the prophecy for the return of true Jesus the Lamb. So he isn't to come at the end but begins at the time of the apostles and continues down undetected as to who he is until the present time and is only then revealed and destroyed by the return of Jesus.

The same thing that applies to the antichrist and the false god of the Christians also applies to the Covenant-breaking or "mainstream" Baha'is. The second coming of Christ (the Messiah) Baha'u'llah, the Father, is also a sperm descendant of King David, but this is suppressed by the Covenant-breakers. For instance, when Baha'is describe Baha'u'llah's genealogy they never tell us that Baha'u'llah is descended from Abraham's first wife Sarah down to David and then from David. They tell it something like this: "He derived His descent, on the one$hand, from Abraham (the Father of the Faithful) through his wife Katurah, and on the other from Zoroaster, as well as from Yazdigird, the last king of the Sasaniyan dynasty. He was moreover a descendant of Jesse, and belonged, through His father, Mirza Abbas, better known as Mirza Buzurg--a nobleman closely associated with the ministerial circles of the Court of Fath-Ali Shah--to one of the most ancient and renowned families of Mazindaran. Whoever Baha'u'llah in His proclamation, stated that He sat on the throne of David. 'Abdu'l-Baha in Some Answered Questions tells us: And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: (SAQ p. 72) .....This rod out of the stem of Jesse might be correctly applied to Christ, for Joseph was of the descendants of Jesse the father of David (p. 73)....But these verses apply word for word to Baha'u'llah (p. 74). The so-called mainstream Baha'is denies Baha'u'llah's genealogy back to King David. That is, they are against His genealogy back to David, thus are antichrist. If they were to acknowledge His real genealogy they would have egg on their faces, for how would they account for His genealogy of David that was to exist forever coming to an end after their elimination of the guardianship of Mason, the adopted son of 'Abdu'l-Baha? For the Covenant that God made with David said there would always be a descendant of David seated on the throne of David:
Thou hast said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one. I have sworn to David my servant: I will establish your descendants for ever, and build thy throne for all generations [Psalms 89:3,4]."
Where the Christians are the antichrist of the Son, the Baha'is are the antichrist of the Father, Baha'u'llah: "Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ [a sperm descendant of David]? This is, the antichrist, he who denies [the genealogy of the] Father and the Son [1 John 2:22]." You, Patrick Labbe, are the liar when you call me the antichrist. I am the only person in the world that has revealed who the antichrist is, and it is myself and the rest of the Baha'is Under the Provisions of the Covenant who are the adversaries of the antichrist. Therefore when the Christians and the Baha'is learn who is the antichrist they will be compelled to leave their violation to follow the Knight on the white horse, the Lamb, and will be led into the Kingdom that Jesus heralded and Baha'u'llah established.
If, however, you meant a world dictator when you called me antichrist, Pepe is your man. In your twisted mind and attitude, you would address him instead of me as the antichrist. There are many wanna-be world dictators such as the three that are running for the presidency of the United States, which is the most powerful position in the world, but the position that Pepe is seeking is much bigger than this. He knows that he is the guardian, and that nobody else in the world is or can be as long as he is alive. He has definite proofs of this, not only the ones that we have supplied but he has greater proofs than this. Then why doesn't he make his proclamation? He doesn't want to be the guardian as delineated by 'Abdu'l-Baha in the Will and Testament, as the president (head) and member for life of the Universal House of Justice (UHJ). He wants to be the world dictator. He doesn't want to be the guardian of the Baha'i faith. He left the Baha'i faith in 5966. This is the same time that Mason began dismantling the Baha'i faith getting ready to announce the setting up of his new religion (cult), the Abhai faith and a new cycle. In his letter of September 13, 1969 he
32
stated that a new cycle would commence on January first, nineteen seventy (1/1/1970). Pepe prefers this religion over the Baha'i faith because in this religion the guardian is an absolute monarch. This despot would be the world dictator, to whom everyone would have to bow. Mason, in his letter to Nancy Hardaway, told her that in this religion, that would be sans the UHJ, he and his successors would appoint from among the believers twenty-four Hands, who would be the 24 elders and they would advise him and then he would make all the decisions.
The only differences really between me and Pepe is that Mason was going to establish a new religion and cycle, doing away with the Baha'i faith, replacing it with his own creation of the cult of the Abhai faith. Where it differs is, it is sans UHJ, whereas the other cult, the "Mainstream Baha'is," is sans guardian. That is, the "Hands" did away with the head and Mason did away with the body, thus bringing the Revelation of Baha'u'llah to an end! Mason's creation consists of the guardian appointing twenty-four Hands, called elders, who advise the guardian and he makes all the decisions. This despot then is the world dictator. As Pepe is the only guardian, and he has all the proof for this that we supplied him plus his own, he has the mentality that the world will have to accept him on his terms. Thus he is contending with God. Whereas, I am the only Knight of Baha'u'llah, not a knight of Mason or anyone else. I, therefore, am commissioned by God, and appointed to be the Knight of Baha'u'llah as the reestablisher of the Baha'i faith, i.e., "The World Order of Baha'u'llah" that has been violated and discarded; not the Abhai faith of Mason Remey, i.e., The World Order of Pepe, nor The World Order of anyone else, such as of Bush, or the trilateralists, or the Papacy.
Pepe is contending with God, and as God created him, and I didn't, He is God's problem. How God deals with him will be interesting to see. He thinks that as he, and he alone, is the guardian, and as there must be a guardian, that both God and the believers must accept him on his own terms; and if they don't then he is willing to let the guardianship go out of existence. Although both Mason and Pepe were guardians of the Baha'i faith (the Revelation of Baha'u'llah) the title guardian doesn't really apply as it means to guard the Baha'i faith, and as they are the prime movers along with Ruhiyyih Khanum and Hasan Balyuzi to do away with the Baha'i faith forever, the word "guardian" is a misnomer.
I am sure that Mason repented to God before he died, after he read the letter sent him by my late wife, Dr. Opal M. Jensen, explaining to him that he couldn't be the Lamb as he was the king seated on the throne, and the Lamb is someone else because he is before the throne and takes the scroll out of his hand, and breaks the seals. She also told him that I am the Lamb. Mason, being the right hand man to Shoghi Effendi when he lived in the Holy Household, was privy to the progress of the faith, especially to my record of integrity as a Knight of Baha'u'llah during the World Crusade of Shoghi Effendi. Thus he was knowledgeable of my record, being at the top of the list of victories in bringing in new believers (and of their firmness in the Covenant). And he was very aware of my victories in the Prison, stating that this was the only real progress of the faith. He also knew that I fulfilled the prophecies in Zechariah for the return of Jesus. In his mind who else was better qualified, being a knight, to lead the legions of the Covenant to victory? Mason understood this and became extremely happy after he received Opal's letter. He thus took the Medallion that he continually wore around his neck (the Medallion represented the guardianship), and gave it to Pepe. He didn't want to leave this world, and leave the guardianship to Pepe (who was incompetent), without knowing that someone other than himself was the Lamb. He knew that I, as I am the Lamb, would be able to establish the true faith.
33
But Pepe is tenaciously clinging to this defunct World Order of Mason, because his ego is so great that he will only function as the biggest, the worst and most despotic world dictator that anyone could possibly imagine. The view of the mass of the Baha'is that left Mason's New World Order back in the sixties, was that Pepe was its architect and somehow twisted Mason's arm, so-to-speak, planting this new creation in Mason's mind--whom he disparagingly referred to as the "old man."[57] Besides being a proverbial liar he was nasty to the believers in Mason, as he is very nasty in almost all of his letters to people that write to him. For instance, Pepe confesses:
How can you be certain Mason told me all those things I attribute to him? How can you be certain I am not expressing my own personal convictions under the guise of his name?[58]
For example, the phrase or term: "Repository of Divine Guidance" was a phrase that Mason never used, I MADE THAT UP MYSELF![59]
Pepe is an enemy of God ranking co-equal with Ruhiyyih Khanum, as Arch Covenant-breakers. They must be defeated, with all of their machinations foiled, and nobody but God's heavenly army, the legions of the Covenant led by the Knight on the White Horse could possibly accomplish this. The whole world will be leagued against the knight and his heavenly army:
Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! He who sat upon it is called Faithful and true, and in righteousness he judges and makes war ... And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine line, white and pure, followed him on white horses. From his mouth issues a sharp sword with which to smite the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron; he will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty (Rev. 19:11, 14-15).
This knight in Revelation nineteen is the Knight of Baha'u'llah, because this knight has on "On his robe and on his thigh....a name inscribed, King of kings and Lord of lords." (ibid --vs. 16), which could only be interpreted as Baha'u'llah. Each knight displays some sort of insignia to designate which King or Lord he is defending. I am that Knight of Baha'u'llah and I am defending and reestablishing the "World Order of Baha'u'llah."
Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds [missiles] that fly in mid-heaven [in the atmosphere between the earth and outer space]. "Come gather for the great supper of God, to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses [ground mechanized vehicles of war] and their riders, and the flesh of

all men, both free and slave, both small and great." And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who sits upon the horse and against his army. And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet [of the antichrist, the Papacy][60] who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those that had received the mark of the beast [the crucifix, representing mythical Jesus] and those who worshipped its image [pictures and statues of mythical Jesus]. These two were thrown alive [nuclear bomb dropping on them] into the lake of fire [nuclear holocaust] that burns with brimstone [fallout]. And the rest were slain [condemned] by the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that issues from his mouth, and the birds [missiles] were gorged with their flesh.
This letter to you is but a dew-drop of the knowledge and explanations that are essential for one's survival both here and the hereafter.
I am again reiterating that I am not a Manifestation with a Message or a Revelation[61] direct from God, I am not the return of Christ (Baha'u'llah is). I am the return of Jesus with seven horns and seven eyes who on his first coming was the sacrificial Lamb. I am not a prophet of God, that has visions or receives messages from God like the Old Testament Prophets. I am not a medium nor am I channeling anyone. I go strictly by the Book(s) - (Divine). I am a firm believer in the Baha'i faith and in all the writings of Baha'u'llah, 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi. I believe in what Shoghi Effendi set up. I fully believe in Baha'u'llah's Covenant and that 'Abdu'l-Baha is the Center of that Covenant and his Will and Testament is the delineation of that Covenant and is the "Charter of the World Order of Baha'u'llah." I believe that when Shoghi Effendi set up the IBC/UHJ with Mason as its president, and for this institution to be his successor, it was in complete harmony with the Will and Testament, and that both the "Hands'" faith and their creation as well as Mason's "Abhai faith" are gross violations of the above and should be considered as Covenant-breakers and should be condemned. I am also not guilty of the things that dissidents, for reasons of their own ego, conjure up against me. Their purpose is to derail seekers from considering the proofs set forth for my authenticity by fulfilling prophecies of the Holy scriptures, the same as other Promised Ones before me. I make it very clear that I fulfill prophecies for the establisher. My main mission is not to set dates, perform miracles--such as fly around the room or other irrelevant things--but to reestablish the Baha'i Administration that the Covenant-breakers on Mount Carmel threw out and to save those that are eagerly waiting for me.
My mission is like that of the establisher of Islam, the fifth angel 'Ali who was contra the usurpation of Islam by Omar who established the Sunni Sect, which later became the mainstream Islamic faith, and against Mu'awia, the son of Abu Suffian, who threw out the Divine plan and established the Umayyad Dynasty. The so-called mainstream group of

They were the workers of iniquity, having their idols to cry tears to bleed and to make sounds like as if they were talking, to deceive their followers so that they would worship mythical Jesus as God in the place of God, and placing their statues and symbols in the church buildings (temples) to be prayed to instead of God.

35
Baha'is went astray in the exact same pattern as Islam's mainstream group. I, the seventh angel, am like the fifth angel 'Ali, who was in opposition to the usurpation of the authority of the Muhammad-appointed Imams.
They [Muhammad and 'Ali] have power over water to turn it to blood, meaning that the prophethood of Muhammad was the same as that of Moses, and that the power of 'Ali was the same as that of Joshua (SAQ p. 59).
These two persons....are the teachings and the Laws that Muhammad established and 'Ali promoted (ibid, p. 63).
I am also like the sixth angel Quddus who was like Ali and Joshua (ibid p. 64).
Joshua the son of Nun took the twelve tribes of Israel across the River Jordan, conquered the seven nations of Palestine and established Israel. So I, the seventh angel that fulfills the prophecies of Joshua (Jesus) the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek[62] of Zechariah 3:1, promote and reestablish what Baha'u'llah brought, 'Abdu'l-Baha delineated, Shoghi Effendi set up and the Covenant-breakers threw out. Although I came with more proofs than anyone else in history the Covenant-breakers try to discredit my claim stating that I could not be a prophet because I had prophesied the date for the promised catastrophe. Although it was a fire drill - so-to-speak - and it didn't come to pass, they therefore conclude that I am not a prophet. I am not a prophet in that sense, but they are inferring because of this, that I am not the promised establisher. My mission is very similar to that of the prophet Noah who came to save the Adamites from the impending flood. Mine is to save them from the impending fire. "Looking for and hastening unto the coming of the day of God wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat" (2 Peter 3:12 KJV).
$
They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and the earth formed out of the water, and by the means of water, through which the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgement and destruction of ungodly men (2 Peter 3:5-7 RSV).
Jesus tells us like in the days of Noah, so shall it be with the coming of the Son of Man (an authoritative man).
As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they did not know until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of man (Matt. 24:37-39).
Like me, Noah, not claiming to be a Manifestation, came with proofs and a number of men believed in him, thus helping him build the ark. Then Noah set the date for the flood, but when that day passed and there was no flood half of his believers left him. How could he be the promised one when his prophecy was not fulfilled??? Then he set another date for

the flood, but when that day had come and gone and the Divine Promise was not fulfilled, then all the rest of his believers left him, only leaving his family. This test, by God, weeded out the impure of heart. Instead of going by the proofs that Noah presented and in which they believed, they went by their own way (which was defective) of determining the validity (other than the proofs) of the one sent by God to save them. Then Noah set another date for the flood, but nobody except his family believed and went with him into the ark, thus all the unbelievers went down in the waters of the flood. This account is found in a number of Divine Books, but I will limit this to the writings of Baha'u'llah:
Among the Prophets was Noah. For nine hundred and fifty years He prayerfully exhorted His people and summoned them to the haven of security and peace. None, however, heeded His call. Each day they inflicted on His blessed person such pain and suffering that no one believed He could survive. How frequently they denied Him, how malevolently they hinted their suspicion against Him! Thus it hath been revealed: "And as often as a company of His people passed by Him, derided Him. To them He said: 'Though ye scoff at us now, we will scoff at you hereafter even as ye scoff at us. In the end ye shall know.'"[63] Long afterward, He several times promised victory to His companions and fixed the hour thereof. But when the hour struck, the divine promise was not fulfilled. This caused a few among the small number of his followers to turn away from Him, and to this testify the records of the best-known books. These you must certainly have perused; if not, undoubtedly you will. Finally, as stated in books and traditions, there remained with Him only forty or seventy two of His followers* At last from the depth of His being He cried aloud: "Lord! Leave not upon the land a single dweller from among unbelievers."[64]
And now, consider and reflect a moment upon the waywardness of this people. What could have been the reason for such denial and avoidance on their part? What could have induced them to refuse to put off the garment of denial, and to adorn themselves with the robe of acceptance? Moreover, what could have caused the nonfulfillment of the divine promise which led the seekers to reject that which they had accepted? Meditate profoundly, that the secret of things unseen may be revealed unto you, that you may inhale the sweetness of a spiritual and imperishable fragrance, and that you may acknowledge the truth that from time immemorial even unto eternity the Almighty hath tried, and will continue to try, His servants, so that light may be distinguished from darkness, truth from falsehood, right from wrong, guidance from error, happiness from misery, and roses from thorns. Even as He hath revealed: "Do men think when they say 'We believe' they shall be let alone and not be put to proof?"[65] (The Kitab-i-Iqan pp. 7-9)
The prophet Noah was not a prophet like Daniel who had visions and dreams and interpreted dreams such as the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, and had visitations such as that of the angel Gabriel showing things to take place in the future. Noah didn't make his

37
prophecies by any of the above methods, but by prophecies of the past as found in the Divine Writings. According to Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg, when the death of Methuselah occurred the flood would take place. But the people at the time of Noah's prediction for the date of the flood were so corrupt that they had forgotten the great teachings and prophecies of their Manifestation, Adam:
The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually [like today]. And the Lord was sorry that he made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart (Gen. 6:5,6).
Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth [like today] (ibid, vs. 11, RSV).
So Noah stated that at the death of Methuselah the flood would take place, but at his death there was no flood. So Noah set another date - six days later - going on a six-day cycle. The flood didn't take place then either. That's when all the rest of them left him except his family. Then he made another prediction that it would occur on the seventh day, the day that he and his family entered he ark, closed the door and sealed it with pitch. Then all the deniers had a big hilarious good time, an orgy of singing, dancing, with taunting, deriding and ridiculing the prophet Noah that God had sent to save them, with shouts of, the crazy old man built a boat on the sand thousands of miles from an ocean to float it, he thinks there is going to be a flood, ha ha ha, but before the day was over: "...on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened. And the rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights" (ibid, 7:11,12). God wiped out all the Adamites who were in derision that were in the great plateau surrounded by mountains between Eastern Turkestan and Tibet. There is much more to say on this!
My situation is similar to this. I made my prediction on the prophecy in Revelation: "And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months;"[66] which 'Abdu'l-Baha explained was 1260 years (SAQ, p. 54). It is very simple to have the date for the Beast to be dead (see a copy of the Beast enclosed). All one needs to do is find the date that the Beast came into existence and then add 1260 years. There are three dates given for the birth of the Beast: 727, 730 and 731. In my prediction in my article of The Beast that I wrote in the summer of 1971, I used the first date given in Gibbons of 727. Add 1260 to 727 = 1987. My reasoning was that if I chose one of the later dates and it happened 1260 years from the first date then all the people would be dead without warning. In my fire-drill I subtracted 7 years from the 1987 date stating that there would be a 7-year tribulation period following the nuclear war. This seven year tribulation is Christian gibberish.
In the ninth chapter of Daniel 'Abdu'l-Baha explained that the seventy weeks came to an end with the crucifixion of Christ.[67] The Christians have Jesus' ascension at the end of 69th week instead of the 70th week, by having him being born at a different date than when he was born, leaving the last week (the week of the Covenant) to appear now in our age as a seven year tribulation. Everyone knew that I had set the date of 1987 as recorded in The

Beast on page 8. My followers must have known that there definitely could not be a 7-year period of tribulation as this was Christian gobbledygook, but this was just a fire drill so-to-speak. In a fire drill you don't announce that "this is a fire drill." If you did nobody would observe it. This was a test like in the days of Noah, to see if the people would go by the proofs like the proofs Noah put forth, to see that I fulfilled prophecies of Scriptures, proving my authenticity the same way Jesus, the Bab, and Baha'u'llah proved their authenticity. In addition to this the fire drill served two very important purposes: (1) To teach the believers how to survive the catastrophe of the oncoming fire of a nuclear war, and (2) It tested a number of so-called believers that were materialistic and only interested in their physical survival, not their spiritual survival and not interested in establishing the Kingdom. This fire drill separated the sheep from the goats, so-to-speak, leaving us with a smaller group but much stronger. The last date of 731+1260=1991, is the start of the Gulf War which isn't over yet and is Sadam's revenge prophesied by Nostrodamus which will unleash the four winds of destruction held back at the River Euphrates, by the four angels. This won't happen until the 144,000 are sealed in their forehead (Rev. 7:2-4 and 9:14,15). Also see Rev. 14:1 that have my name$and Baha'u'llah's name written in their foreheads (symbolizing the intellect):
Then I looked, and lo, on Mount Zion [the Mount of the Davidic king, Carmel] stood the Lamb [the return of Jesus] and with him a hundred and forty four thousand who had his name [Le land] and his Father's name [Baha'u'llah] on their foreheads [they became believers in the two of them through the intellect].
So you see here my dear friend, the catastrophe won't take place until we have gathered the 144,000. The same thing happened with the Prophet Noah, who made his prediction according to Adamic prophecy, giving three dates. Had he given the last date first and the flood happened on the first date, then all would have been lost. So also if I had given the last date first and it happened on the first date of 1987 then everyone would have been destroyed. Baha'u'llah says on page eight of the Iqan: "what could cause the nonfulfillment of the divine promise..." Then He quotes from the Quran: "Do men think when they say 'We believe' they shall be let alone and not be put to proof?"[68]
During the days of Shoghi Effendi the whole Baha'i world swore allegiance to the Covenant of Baha'u'llah and accepted the Will and Testament as the "Charter for the World Order of Baha'u'llah." But when their test came, with the passing of Shoghi Effendi, they all broke the Covenant and then blamed it on God, stating it was God who broke the Covenant by not giving Shoghi a son. They then said the Will and Testament was inoperable, and laid aside its provisions. Then they went against God further by laying aside Shoghi's plan for 1963 of the IBC to become a World Court. Then these Covenant-breakers have the audacity to label as Covenant-breakers those that are firm in the Covenant, who accept and are obedient to the Provisions of 'Abdu'l-Baha's sacred Will and Testament and are steadfast in Shoghi's plan for 1963 of the IBC becoming a recognized World Court. They have been unable to show even in one single instance where we the Baha'is Under the Provisions of the Covenant even in the very least have infringed on or have been in violation of the Covenant with its attending Will and Testament. Then on what basis do the Mt. Carmel gang designate us as Covenant-breakers??? Absolutely none! They do this only to keep their oppressed followers from learning the truth of the matter. Don't those that are among the Covenant-breakers know the meaning of the words

"Covenant-breakers?" These words can only rightfully be applied to those who have broken the Covenant by being in violation of the Provisions of the Will and Testament. The Will and Testament is so worded that anyone reading it could easily see that the nonauthoritative "Hands" and the monster they created could never have happened if the rank and file Baha'is had read the Will and Testament and went by its provisions. God gave us the Covenant by Baha'u'llah with its associated Will and Testament to prevent the misadventure that has been perpetrated on the Baha'i faith.
In going by the Book, only an authoritative body can make the decision of who is Covenant-breaking. Those that now occupy Mt. Carmel, besides being Covenant-breakers, are a nonauthoritative group, and have no divine authority in the first place to determine who is or who is not a Covenant-breaker, much less to do everything else they have been doing. In addition to this they have the temerity to send their goons around to the people that are investigating my claim stating that I couldn't be the Promised One because (like Noah), I prophesied in The Beast that the Beast would cease to exercise its authority in 1987. They are like the corrupters and deniers in the time of Noah that went down in the flood. Their lot today is for the fire. You don't want to be among them. Siding with them is the same as those that were drowned in the flood, only this time they will be burned up by fire.
Things are happening very fast. I saw on TV several months ago that all throughout Israel there are billboards and signs everywhere and the people are shouting, "The Messiah is coming, the Messiah is coming!" By a reliable source I find that they were going to announce in Israel on April 5th that they are going to rebuild Solomon's temple. They say that they will have it built in sixty days. They know the prophecies that the Promised One is to come to the temple. They were unable to rebuild the temple before the Gulf War, as the Dome of the Rock is on temple property, but since that time they have worked out a deal with the Muslims, whereby the Mosque of Omar will be in the court of the Gentiles.
The Jews have just bought two hundred red heifers from here in Montana, just about fifty miles north of Missoula. They have been searching the world over for some time now to locate red heifers without blemish. These will be burnt alive into ashes on a platform made of three types of wood, acacia to be one of them. These ashes will be spread around on the site where the temple will be built to purify it.
These are two of their problems that they have solved. Another bugaboo (problem) that they claim they have solved is that of the missing Ark of the Covenant. Underneath where they plan to build their holy of holies is the Holy of Holies that was not destroyed by Titus when he destroyed the temple in 70 A.D.[69] Some workers in archeological digging under the temple site inadvertently broke a hole in the wall of the ancient Holy of Holies. They did not enter the Holy of Holies, for only the High Priest is allowed in the Holy of Holies. However pictures were taken of that room and they found that there was an Ark of the Covenant there. I was told that there are suppositions that four Arks of the Covenant exist. Only one of them can be genuine. One supposedly is in England. It is unclear where another one is. Of course there is one in the preserved Holy of Holies, and another is in Ethiopia. The consensus now is that the one in Ethiopia is genuine, i.e., the one built by Moses. It was brought to Ethiopia for safe keeping, and a replica took its place in the Holy of Holies. As I understand it a deal has been made with Ethiopia to have that one brought to Israel and to be placed in the new Holy of Holies.

This presents a bigger problem. Nobody is allowed to enter the Holy of Holies except a high priest after the order of Aaron of pure lineage. In the second century A.D. this lineage came to an end. There are a number of people that have the blood of Aaron but are not of pure lineage. They are called cohens. They cannot allow one who is not of pure lineage to enter the Holy of Holies, as this would bring great disaster on the people of Israel. So if they happen to complete the rebuilding of the temple of Solomon without a High priest it would be inoperable. When asked about this they say this can only be solved with the coming of the Messiah, and they believe that the Messiah won't come until they rebuild the temple. They have been able to rebuild their temple within sixty days for years. Undoubtedly they have all the stones already cut and all the other materials are also ready to build the temple. This is the first time however that it now becomes possible to go ahead. Their Messiah, Baha'u'llah, has come but He didn't provide for the reestablishing of the Aaronic line of pure lineage, which is an impossibility. But this problem is solved in the Baha'i faith.
There are three temples mentioned in the Bible: Solomon's, which was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and rebuilt by Zerubbabel and Joshua. It was refurbished by King Herod and then it was destroyed again by Titus in 70 A.D. When Jesus was crucified he brought the animal sacrifice to an end as he was without blemish he gave his life for the removal of sins. Therefore Solomon's temple will never be operable again.
The other temple that is mentioned in the Bible is the ideal temple of Ezekiel with seven watch towers (eyes) (Zech. 3:9). It is in this temple that Jesus came on his return. It is located in Deerlodge, MT. In the Jewish literature: "The Temple will appear as Ezekiel prophesied it."[70]
Not only does Ezekiel give the vision of the future Temple having seven towers, but the Jewish literature also describes the high priest who will preside in the seven towered Temple of the Lord. Unanimously all authorities agree by common consent that the high priest in the kingdom of God will be Melchizedek:
Much is to be said in the Talmudic literature about the high priest in the Messianic age, he is called "the Righteous Priest" (Koahen-Zedek)--an appellation apparently identical with Melchizedek. Here we have a significant point of contact of the Talmud with the Epistle to the Hebrews...in the New Testament. But the Talmud also has many passages militating against the conclusion that Melchizedek and the Messiah [Baha'u'llah] are identical...[ for example] in the saying of the Patriarch Rabban Simeon ben Gamali II (post Hadrianic) on Zechariah 4:14:
'These are the two anointed ones.' This means the Righteous priest and the Messiah. And I do not know which of them is more beloved. But since it says (Ps. 110:4) "The LORD hath sworn and will not repent: 'Thou art a priest for ever [after the manner of Melchizedek],"' we know that the King-Messiah is more beloved than the Righteous Priest [Melchizedek].
The high priest in the Age to Come, Melchizedek, who plays such an important role in the Epistle to the Hebrews, is here less beloved of God than the Messiah. But the existence of the high priest in the Messianic age is

mentioned as something to be taken for granted by common consent.[71]
The existence of Melchizedek as the high priest in the Messianic age is unanimously accepted and taken for granted by common consent. Yet clearly his station in relation to King-Messiah is one of subordination, for according to the Jewish literature it is the King Messiah who shall reveal the new Torah, and only Melchizedek, the high priest who shall officiate over what has been revealed. As Moses is the superior to Aaron and Joshua, so the King-Messiah (Baha'u'llah) is superior to Melchizedek his high priest returned in the seven-towered Temple of Ezekiel.
The Jews who are about to rebuild Solomon's Temple will be looking for their Messiah. Although He came from Nur to Mt. Carmel and His shrine is among them they will miss Him a second time. The reason being that the words Christ and Messiah mean the same thing, a descendant of King David that is anointed. As the Covenant-breakers on Mt. Carmel do not teach or show that Baha'u'llah is a direct male descendant of King David seated on David's throne, the Jews will most assuredly reject Him. Thus they may make the same mistake that they made almost two thousand years ago. At that time they chose a phoney Messiah that led them into war against the Roman Empire. The one they may choose now in place of Baha'u'llah, they may take to be invincible as was the one the Jews chose in the place of Jesus to lead them a second time into war against their enemies. We would be in Armageddon and in the process the mass of the Covenant-breaking Baha'is throughout the world would be wiped out, as they are not under the guidance of their Messiah or of Jesus the high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
The other temple mentioned in the Bible is the one not built by hands: "For Christ has entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands," (Heb. 9:24):
But when Christ [Jesus] as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent [Temple] (not made by hands, that is, not of this creation) (Heb. 9:11).
This temple (not built by hands) that Paul was talking about pertains to the temple of the Bab and Baha'u'llah. The sanctuary, or holy place is the Manifestation of the Bab depicted in the Great Pyramid as the antechamber, that came in 1844. The Holy of Holies depicted in the Great Pyramid as the King's Chamber is the King of Kings, Baha'u'llah, who proclaimed Himself on April 21, 1863, the date given by both Daniel 12:11 [72][73] and by the Great Pyramid (See The Beast enclosed).
When Moses was on earth He was the temple, the Manifestation, that is the intermediary between God and man. As he was not to live forever God had him build a temple (tent or tabernacle), and had it divided into two rooms by a curtain, the outer Sanctuary and the inner Holy of Holies. He placed his writings in a box called the Ark of the Covenant and had it placed inside the Holy of Holies of that tent. As the presence of God was in Moses it now was transferred to the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies in the temple. Moses appointed his brother Aaron and his descendants Who only were to go into the presence of

God in the Holy of Holies. Jesus, not being a descendent of Aaron, could not go into this temple built by hands and place his Covenant, therefore he placed it in the heaven of prophecy. However only Jesus, being a high priest after the order of Melchizedek, [74] is allowed to enter into the Holy of Holies of this temple not built by hands and stand before the Ark of the Covenant and reestablish the provisions of the Covenant that the Covenant-breakers threw out. For all else the way is barred. This is why Jesus on his return is called a high priest, meaning great educator (See Zechariah 3:1- 10).
But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes the judgement, so Christ [Jesus] having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him (Heb. 9:26-28).
Without this arrangement of Jesus coming a second time to reestablish that which the second Messiah (Baha'u'llah) brought - the House of Justice - that 'Abdu'l-Baha explained and Shoghi Effendi set up as the IBC/UHJ with Baha'u'llah's grandson as its president--or head of that body--and which the Covenant-breaking "Hands" threw out, the long Promised Kingdom of God would be lost to this world forever along with the peace. For without the Kingdom-- David's lineage--as the president (guardian) all life would cease upon this planet. There is no one else that has the authority or the know-how to accomplish this is just as in the days of Noah. If it weren't for him no one would have survived the flood.
As Noah had dissidents among his followers they conjured up their reasons so have I dissidents trying with subterfuge--artifice and stratagem--to discredit my claim. Like in the time of Moses, who came with proofs, they conjured up their reasons. They asked "how could he be the one sent by God? It is said that he killed a man." When Jesus came they claimed he was a bastard and a bastards were barred from the temple, and he claimed to be the Son of God, so he was charged with blasphemy. "How could Muhammad be the Promised One? He had eleven wives and one of them was only nine years old." Baha'u'llah was charged with insurrection along with other Babis. The beloved son of Jacob, Joseph, was placed in prison on a fallacious attempted rape charge. Muhammad said the worst sin anyone could commit is to become a believer [on proofs] and then become an infidel. Their baying is like that of the Jackass, and they are like the "jackal that hunt in packs and feed on small animals and carrion (rotten carcasses)." These are degenerate souls that are dissatisfied with their lot in life.
Disgusting and obnoxious as the howling of these hyenas "feeding chiefly on carrion" is, they are very very essential. For the light of the true dawn must be preceded by the darkness of these dissenters so that truth may be distinguished from error and the wisdom of every command may be tested. Their purpose is to be a stumbling block to the seeker, to test him. Are the true seekers to go by the babblings of these obstructers, or by the God-given proofs that He has given to each of His Promised Ones? To go by anything but the God-given proofs causes one to gets lost in a sea of marasmus conjectures. This is what happened to the people at the time of Noah who went down in the flood, to the people at the time of Moses who were drowned in the Red Sea, and to the people at the time of Jesus
