KACOU 78 : THE SIGNS OF HIS COMING

(Preached on Thursday evening, August 21, 2008 in Anyama, near Abidjan - Ivory Coast)

1 …Well, God bless you! I have here a series of questions which I want to answer. The first one is: “Brother Philippe, we know that the Angel of April 24, 1993 is the one of Revelation 19 but is this Angel with the prophet or in the prophet?.

Yes, exactly, the Angel of April 24, 1993 is the one of Revelation 19 and this Angel is the manifestation of the Lord Jesus Christ. The good understanding is that this Angel is with the prophet as it was with Moses, William Branham and many other prophets. He can be far from them, right by them or sometimes, established physically in them if necessary, for a precise purpose. The most important thing is to know when it is the Angel and when it is the brother! When they are two different persons and when it is the same person! And in the ministry of restitution, when it is the dispensation of lion, the dispensation of calf, the dispensation of eagle or dispensation of man? That is exactly what the Prophet Ezekiel saw at the edge of the river Kebar.  [Ed: the congregation says, Amen!].

3 The second question is: Brother Philippe,how can we account of the fact that the Message is on websites while the Internet is not a good thing?First, I said that the Message had no restriction! Everybody has the right to receive It like Pilate and Herod and to do what he likes with It, the way he is led to! And somebody who is of the midnight Cry does not go on the Internet just as the rest of the world does! We are in the world but we are not of the world! And I inform you that Europe, starting by France, is in search of restrictive measures regarding the Internet. It serves us as a telephone and as a mailbox, there are hundreds of people who believe in the midnight Cry all over the world and it is through it that they receive the preachings at the same time as those who are here! [Ed: the congregation says,Amen!].

4 The third question is: Brother Philippe, if a man asks us for an alcoholic drink for the dowry of our fiancée, can we give that?Brethren, the Bible says to pay to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's! And every man has the right to ask for what he wants for the dowry of his daughter and that is what you must give! When Saul asked for a hundred foreskins of men for the dowry of his daughter Michal, David did not pay that with money! And concerning alcoholic drink, I will talk about it in just a moment.

5 The fourth question is: BrotherPhilippe, I still have many dreams, what should I do? Well, if you have just become a believer, it is possible for it to take a little long to disappear! Only, when you became a believer, you have certainly burnt all the documents of churches and theology but you still have in you what you learnt of those books and from those pastors and prophets! It is a snare in your mind but do not mention it! And Catholics, Protestants, evangelicals and Branhamists are still around us, even in the same houses with us.I am going to read Exodus 23 and Judges 2. Judges 2:3 says, "Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be scourges in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you." You see, them, their gods, their holy-spirits, their bibles, their books and their practices, shall be a snare unto you! They will invite you to pray, they will say to you: "god bless you!And as long as we are on the earth, they will always be beside us and they will be snares for us. And also you must not keep old practices! When you were in those churches, if you had dreams that did always come true, fasting and prayer rules, if you prayed every day at such an hour or from such an hour to such an hour every night, stop all that! They are occult and divinatory practices! 

Now, if you see a dream and you have not forgotten it, pay attention to it! If it results in a pollution for example, do not reject it straight away because the sin or the demon can be identified in it. It can be a sin committed long ago, even before your baptism, which demon is still present. In that case, you will re-confess it!

7 A fifth question which was put to me by Brother Rodrigue of Akradjo. He said: “Brother Philippe, can we say that there was some intimacy between the Lord Jesus Christ and Mary of Magdala?No! I think that it is no, in the literal sense! But the Lord Jesus Christ was the manifestation of the invisible God on the earth and Mary of Magdala was on the one hand the manifestation of Israel brought out of Egypt and on the other hand the future manifestation of the Church of nations and for which Church, the Lord Jesus Christ through the seven Church ages would come to defeat seven manifestations of Satan! The Lord Jesus Christ would manifest through the seven angels which are the seven Spirits of God that will act through the seven Church ages. The seven Spirits of God are the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. [Ed: the congregation says, Amen!]. In the first age with Paul, a demon is driven out of Mary of Magdala. In the second age with Irenaeus, a demon is driven out of Mary of Magdala. In the third age with Saint Martin of Tours, a demon is driven out of Mary of Magdala. In the fourth age with Colomban, a demon is driven out! In the fifth age with Luther, a demon is driven out! In the sixth age with John Wesley, a demon is driven out! And finally in the seventh age with William Branham, the last demon is driven out of her according to Mark 16:9! [Ed: The congregation says: Amen!]. And after that, like Naaman, she needs to be purified, be made white and be refined to go forth and meet the Bridegroom as Matthew 25:6 points it out! You see? 

Israel fulfilled seven stages and seven phases with Moses but Joshua just came with his baptism for restitution! Secondly, seven other stages with the prophets up to John the Baptist. Thirdly, seven other stages with the Church of the nations! And Mary of Magdala is the pure and perfect physical manifestation of that! You have got the impression that they are three different things! You see? If the Catholic church were spiritual, it is Mary of Magdala that it would magnify instead of Mary, Jesus' mother! [Ed: The congregation says: Amen!].  

9 Now the sixth question: “Brother Philippe, what behaviour should we have with regards to hairstyles?”I have no particular doctrine on it but it is not good that the razor passes on your head! Also, the sisters can plait their natural hair. 1 Timothy 2 is about false hairwhich is a sign of prostitution; to adorn oneself is to put something on just like the clothes that we wear. What God asks from our Sisters, it is that their hair cover their head down to their shoulders, as for the rest, they are free to cut and keep it. [Ed: the congregation says, Amen!].

10 Another question: “Brother Philippe, who can be the author of the book of Hebrews, Paul, Apollos or somebody else?”I said that the author of the book of Hebrews was Paul. A theologian can talk of style, of those who are greeted but I tell you that it is Paul! We even see doctrines therein thus that cannot be but Paul! Apollos was a disciple of John the Baptist but when he believed in Paul, he became a disciple of Paul, and just like Timothy, Titus and Silvanus. He is then an Ephesian and he cannot write according to Kacou 57! [Ed: the congregation says, Amen!].

11 Another question again: “Brother Philippe, in the preaching on the seven mountains, what does "the Message and the oil then the oil" mean?”The oil is the Holy Spirit and it is by the Holy Spirit that you can preach and be in the Spirit of the Message but there is a baptism of the Holy Spirit to come! You see? The Lord Jesus Christ could breathe into his followers saying: receive the Holy Spirit! A kind of consecration and He sent them to preach but there was a baptism of the Holy Spirit to come! [Ed: the congregation says, Amen!].

12  Well, another question again: Brother Philippe, apart from Saturday night when a man must not approach to his own wife, is there any other behaviour to have?Well, I think that the good period when every man has to approach to his partner is the 13th, 14thand 15thday of her menstruation! All the rest is by weakness although it does not need to be confessed! [Ed: the congregation says, Amen!].

13 I love my believers too much to get them involved in politics or in some money game! A wolf can do that but I, never! [Ed: the congregation says: Amen!]. A church member, okay, but a servant of God can never get involved or drag his believers into money networks. What I did not do when I had nothing, it's not today that I will do it! You see? Dragging my believers into a money network, I cannot do it. I have passed those things! [Ed: the congregation says, Amen!].

14 Well, now I take my preaching from Revelation 11 to talk about the precursory signs of the coming of Elijah and Moses. But first of all, I want to read at first a passage in Kc.50. I read that: "Thousands of homosexuals are preparing a parade on this Friday, 10 November 2006 in Jerusalem The Attorney General of the State of Israel, Menahem Mazouz, authorized this procession on Sunday evening " for the respect of the principles of freedom of expression "." It is a victory for the Israeli democracy and tolerance "the representatives of the Jerusalem Open House the Israeli organisation of lesbians and homosexualsclaimed immediately. "We are determined to take action for this parade to take place. It will not be provocative. There will be neither carnival tanks nor naked men in the parade. And it will not take place in the neighbourhood of the churches, synagogues or mosques "the president of the lesbians, Elena Canetti told the AFP." We are going to deploy more than twelve thousand policemen on this Friday in Jerusalem to protect the participants of this parade of homosexuals ", declared the commander-in-chief of the Israeli police, Moshe Karadi, on the military radio. A few months ago, during the preparations of the parade, the Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel, Moshe Amar, sent a letter to pope Benedict XVI to ask him for support against this parade.

These later months, flyers have been distributed over Jerusalem, with the promise of a 4,500-dollar reward to any person who will kill a sodomite. In 2005, during the fourth procession of homosexuals in Jerusalem, an ultra-orthodox and fanatical Jew had stabbed three parade participants and was given a twelve-year jail sentence. Paradoxically, the "Gay Pride", the parade of homosexuals and lesbians takes place nevertheless every year in Tel Aviv without any incident, in an atmosphere of carnival. Israel legalised homosexuality in 1988 and the rights of the homosexual couples are recognized there by its Israeli courts "Amen!

15  These are the precursory signs of Elijah and Moses. The Lord Jesus Christ could say to the 144, 000 of Revelation 7: "when you see the homosexuals and lesbians parading in the streets of Jerusalem, know that your redemption is at hand for this place shall become Sodom first!When you see these Catholic, Protestant, evangelical and Branhamist gods come to enshrine to Jerusalem, know that your redemption is at hand for this place shall become Egypt first!" You see? 

16 There are several subjects of preaching in this text but I want to focus this evening on a sentence that I will read again: "A few months ago, during the preparations of the parade, the Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel, Moshe Amar, sent a letter to Pope Benedict XVI to ask him for support against this parade." I want to speak about the subject: The signs of his coming. You see? 

17  Like every year, even before 1988, in that November 2006, thousands of Jews were troubled because of this parade of homosexuals and lesbians on the so-called Holy land! Not in just any city but the historic city of Christianity! And among these Jews who were troubled, the Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel! 

18  Jerusalem is the city of David, it is the homeland of the prophets and of the Christ! Jerusalem did not deserve such a big evil! I could imagine this chief rabbi troubled and restless! He could not accept those demons roving here and there, throwing their arms forward, twisting their bodies like that! Jerusalem did not deserve it! 

19  Brethren, fifty years ago nobody could imagine that those lambs that returned to their old homeland could tolerate that on their land. Look at Israel, look at these Jews, the entire atmosphere was spiritual and the oldest flag in the world, struck with the Star of David floated again! Every Christian, wherever he was, was joyful! You see? The Israel about which the Bible talks was up again! And on that May 14, 1948, when David Ben Gourion declared the renaissance of the State of Israel saying that Israel would be " founded on freedom, justice and peace in accordance with the Ideal of the prophets of Israel", he did not know that this nation would be Sodom, the place of exhibition of the homosexuals and lesbians of the earth. He did not know that this nation would be Egypt: the place of pilgrimage of all the gods of the churches of the earth! You see? 

20  The more the Palestinian bombs blast on them, the meaner they are. Neither the deportation, nor the Shoah and the concentration camps changed them! That is why God sends them the two greatest prophets who see continually God's face! Because the Jews believe in prophets. And it was said: "Oh God! Leave the Palestinians, no longer torments us with the Arabs if from among your Holy prophets, somebody goes to speak to them, they will believe". God said: "Okay! Not only Moses but will I also send Elijah to them!". And every creature which is in the Heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth, and upon the sea, and all the things therein shouted aloud saying: "ToHim that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and might, to the ages of ages." And they fell down and worshipped! ... [Ed: the congregation says, Amen!].

21 Well, let us come a little back, to the announcement of that parade! In the beginning it was a sacrilege! Even sons of the devil rose up against it then little by little they began to get used to it and tolerate it. But when there remains only sons of God against it, God will send Elijah and Moses! [Ed: the congregation says: Amen!].  

22 You see? That chief rabbi of Israel could not rely on these great Jewish politicians! During the Israeli elections, how many candidates say that when they are elected, there will be no more parade of homosexuals and lesbians in Jerusalem? How many? None of them! They rather talk about how they plan to crush the Palestinians away so that balls, carnivals,fêtes, parades of homosexuals and lesbians take place peacefully! And that Catholic, Protestant, evangelical and Branhamist tourists may be protected. This one rises up with such a plan. Another one rises with another plan, and so on. But never for the holiness of Israel. They want to look like the nations, the nations, the nations, and so on. You see? 

23  Look how Ariel Sharon, the most redoubtable opponent of the Palestinians, is plunged into a coma for two years now! He is dead although alive! And if you are not in the revelation, you will be delighted at hearing that the Israeli soldiers killed such and such a number of Palestinian activists! Brethren, remember that they are not Palestinians who will kill Elijah and Moses but Jews! I am strongly for Israel and I do not support Palestinians but I do believe that these Palestinian activists are servants of God's to calm God's wrath down! [Ed: the congregation says: Amen!].

24 This chief rabbi could not rely on the Israeli leaders that is why he drove his thought somewhere else, in search of help! But we know that God's help is the living prophet! [Ed: the congregation says: Amen!]. This rabbi did not know whom to turn to, names of illustrious kings and presidents came up into his head! The names of the great international institutions such as the UN, the European Union, the African Union came up into his head! Names of big churches and great federations of churches came up into his head! Names of influential reverends and great presidents of churches popped up into his head! Names like Tommy Osborn, Billy Graham, Morris Cerullo, Reinard Bonnké, Benny Hinny... came up into his head! The names of all those who fast and pray for Israel came up into his head! That chief rabbi said to himself: if their master Jesus Christ could cast mere sellers out of the temple, how much will they get up when they hear that their master's city is stormed by homosexuals and lesbians coming from all over world? He was walking to and fro and suddenly the name of the pope... Amen! He must have shouted: “Gloryto God!”"The Holy Father, the prince of the apostles, the vicariv's filii dei! ". Amen! He was very happy. 

25  This chief rabbi could formulate and reformulate his letter on behalf of the Jewish rabbinate with the noblest terms and the greatest respect that the papacy deserves and then he delegated a special emissary to go and give this letter to his holiness pope Benedict XVI in person! He sent this letter not only to the pope but also to several important personalities both political and religious but the parade did take place in an atmosphere of carnival and fête! Brethren, it was an abominable thing that was being prepared and the pope and the whole religious world did not need a letter from the chief rabbi to react! 

26 But they could not react because the same thing takes place in each nation every year; and they call it beautiful girls casting, miss such and such a country but actually pageant of young prostitutes! And now, there are all kinds of it: Miss internet, Miss this, Miss that! And pastors watch it on their TV! Girls roaming wearing underpants in front of men having eyes full of adultery! I do not think that it is bad to look for the most beautiful girl of a country but the very first criterion is virginity! She has to be virgin! [Ed: the congregation says: Amen!]. You see? Making prostitutes and young mothers parade in underpants is an abomination! Some of them being immoral, lesbians and sodomites! It is the same as parades of homosexuals and lesbians!

27 The whole world could indeed hinder this parade of homosexuals and lesbians but that it will not! Being itself corrupted and engrossed in similar things! The United States could indeed hinder that, the Vatican that cannot accept such a thing on its Vatican land could indeed hinder it, the world council of churches could indeed hinder it, these thousands of thousand federations and associations of churches could indeed hinder it but they did not! But why did not they? That is what this chief rabbi did not understand! Before turning to Christians, he had to wonder how many Christians in the whole world are asking for the release or are bringing their support to this orthodox Jew who was given a twelve-year jail sentence for killing a homosexual in Jerusalem!

28  In a country as ours, the civic and moral education should be the main subject in schools and every pupil would know that virginity was his first and divine diploma and symbol of his morality. [Ed: the congregation says, Amen!]. You can see some pupils sad or crying aloud because they failed an exam or competitive test which they have the opportunity to pass the next year! But how many of them did so for having lost their virginity that they will never find back? You see? 

29  Before this rabbi sent letters to people, he needed to consider, not their influence or their political weight but their morality in their own country! You see? I am often inspired to talk about these things because I am sent as the messenger of the ten virgins of Matthew 25:6! Every messenger acts according to the dispensation of his Spirit! That is why the messengers of Revelation 11 have been identified as being Elijah and Moses. [Ed: the congregation says, Amen!].

30  Well, let us take Revelation 11! I am going to read that: "... These are the two Olive Trees and the two lamps which stand before the Lord of the earth; and if any one wills to injure them, fire goes out of their mouth, and devours their enemies. And if any one wills to injure them, thus must he be killed. These have power to shut the heaven that no rain may fall during the days of their prophecy; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth as often as they will with every plague." Amen! First Elijah then Moses is identified through these two prophets! Yet we see today that the sons of the devil rise up to say: "you can drink strong drinks because Jesus drank some "! But do they know that the Lord Jesus Christ is the God of the Spirits of the prophets and that the Spirit of God who is acting in this hour is still the Spirit of Elijah who prepares the return of the Lord Jesus Christ? You see? 

31 If somebody is possessed by an alcohol demon and that he wants to consume strong drinks, let him consume but let him not say: "Jesus consume strong drinks or transformed water into wine". In the Old Testament, it has been said of a man named John the Baptist: "For he shall be great before the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. And he will go before Him in the Spirit and the power of Elijah" [Ed: the congregation says: Amen!]. And it is therefore normal for John the Baptist and his disciples not to consume strong drinks even if a son of the devil came to prove that they could consume like Noah and Jesus Christ. William Branham was also told: "never smoke, never drink, and never defile your body with women. You will have a work to be carried out when you grow up". [Ed: the congregation says, Amen!]. Yet the seventh angel, the Spirit of the age of Laodicea is the Spirit of Elijah preparing the return of the Lord Jesus! And the Spirit of Elijah is neither a spirit of sex, nor a spirit of alcohol but the Spirit of holiness with the aim of the rapture as Enoch who was the Elijah of before the flood and who was raptured like Elijah the Tishbite who was raptured and like the Elijah in Revelation 11 who will be raptured!  [Ed: the congregation says, Amen!]. The Spirit of Elijah is the Spirit of the rapture and thus the Spirit of God who prepares the Bride for the rapture can only be the Spirit of Elijah and the Spirit of Elijah does not drink! [Ed: the congregation says: Amen!]. 

32 It is the Spirit of Elijah who is ministering thus today and it will always be the Spirit of Elijah until the Lord Jesus Christ comes! Enoch and his disciples did not consume strong drinks! Elijah the Tishbite and his disciples did not consume strong drinks! John the Baptist and his disciples did not consume strong drinks! William Branham and his disciples did not consume strong drinks because it is always the Spirit of Elijah! And in Genesis 18, when Abraham offered this feast, the Bible does not say that they ate and drank strong drinks but: "and they ate."! There is no confusion in God! Genesis 18:6-8 says: "And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, and make cakes. And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf tender and good, and gave it to the attendant; and he hasted to dress it. And he took thick and sweet milk, and the calf that he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood before them under the tree, and they ate."! [Ed: the congregation says: Amen!]. Similarly, at the feast Lot offered to the two angels in Sodom, the Bible does not say that they ate and drank strong drinks but they ate! Why? Because the two angels were Elijah and Moses! You see? Look at the Pentecostals and the evangelicals, although they have no notion of these things, they do not consume strong drinks but they are species of Branhamists who teach such things, they who claim to be of the Spirit of Elijah! That is miserable! 

33  Every prophet and his generation act according to the characteristics of the Spirit of God who is in action in that generation! And he that can understand, let him understand.
