GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL TIME!
David Hathaway No 68 Summer 2013
David Hathaway – part of a message he gave at the Israel
God says in Isaiah 40:1-5, ‘Comfort ye, comfort ye, My people, speak comfortably to Jerusalem and cry unto her that her warfare is finished, her iniquity is pardoned, for she has received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, every mountain and hill shall be made low, the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.’ The great desire of my heart is to see the glory of God revealed to an ungodly, unbelieving world that has rejected and turned away from God – that they would see the physical manifestation of His glory here on earth! The Bible says King David was a man after God’s own heart. And God put in his heart to build a temple. God has also put something in my heart like He did with King David! Recently I was very moved to see that after David’s flagrant sin of numbering the people, when he saw the angel of the Lord with the sword held over Jerusalem and over the threshing floor of Araunah – at that moment it was as if the whole future of Jerusalem was in the hands of one man – only because David repented and bought the threshing floor and the oxen and made a sacrifice – only then God stayed His hand. Otherwise Jerusalem would have been destroyed. So often, we the people of God, the intercessors, are standing between the sword hanging over Jerusalem and the salvation of the nation. We have a tremendous responsibility. But again I was very moved to see from Scripture, how quickly, after that sacrifice, David is led to build the temple on that same place of sacrifice! A temple of glory in the place of sacrifice! The significant thing about the Temple Mount even today is that it is still the same place of sacrifice. In our spiritual experience the glory of God rises out of sacrifice. And Scripture says that when the fire is lit for the sacrificial offering, that fire must never go out. I want to challenge you that if you ever receive fire from God, that fire is a precious, holy thing which must not go out. However old I am, I am never too old to work or to serve – that fire in me must increase, not decrease. We are living in a very prophetic age, seeing more prophecies leading to the return of Christ being fulfilled at this present time than at any time in history. The call today is ‘prepare the way of the Lord’! When we look at the Middle East, at Syria, it seems as
2
if we are about to see the total destruction of Damascus (Isaiah 17). I believe that President Assad is the only man who has spoken the truth concerning the situation! He said, if we allow the extreme Islamist rebel forces to take control in Syria, it will bring war to the whole Middle East. I don’t agree with what he is doing, but what he is saying is correct – it is part of a plan to destroy Israel. We live in very troubled times. According to some prophecies this new Pope will be the last! It is possible that Rome could unite with other faiths and create a single ‘world church’ with its headquarters in Jerusalem. Could that mean the rebuilding of the Temple? And who will be the Antichrist? God only knows. My heart is not only for Israel, but also for Catholics whose teaching is not based on salvation by faith alone, that they would find Jesus and be saved! As an evangelist, I know, there are only two places in eternity – Heaven or hell. I preach with passion because I spent one year in a communist prison, I shared my cell with murderers, drug smugglers, the worst criminals – and I came to love those men. Instead of seeing them as the world saw them, I saw the hearts of those men – desperately wicked – but needing salvation! The whole story of the Gospel is that Jesus came and lived among sinners – the Pharisees, the tax collectors, the ordinary sinners. He was criticised because he ‘ate with the sinners’! The Gospel is that God so loved you and me, that He sent Jesus who came and lived with us and learnt to love us while we were still sinners. Love us enough that He would not only die on the cross, but that when He rose from the dead, His first appearance was not back in the glory of Heaven, but He came to us first!! A world church would be dangerous. Religions are being shaken, and they must, because religions don’t save us. The Law in Judaism could not bring salvation, God had to send his Son in order to fulfil the Law and bring redemption! The exciting thing is that when I talk with the Holocaust survivors in Israel about Jesus, Yeshua, they are not hearing just the name of a man, they are hearing the word ‘God saves’ – they are hearing Salvation, Deliverance, Redemption! The message we are bringing is salvation through His Name Jesus, Yeshua! God is giving me favour in the Catholic countries. Last year in Poland, in Krakow, we had over 80,000 attend the meetings! I am returning to Poland this year, to Katowice, at the invitation of the Catholic bishops! But I don’t compromise the Gospel, believe me, I am preaching Christ, salvation, deliverance. In
Prophetic P rophetic
Conference in London, 23 February 2013 Israel, when I preach Jesus, Yeshua, salvation – they are coming in their thousands. Why? Because their hearts are open! And in Catholic Europe also their hearts are open, and they are opening new evangelical churches for the new converts, preaching the simple Gospel! The Catholic church is going through a crisis, and the reason people are saying this next Pope is the last is because possibly the church cannot survive its scandals. There is only one answer, it’s Christ! And somebody has to preach Christ, and the church must repent! We have to look at our own present situation. ‘Replacement Theology’, teaching that the church has replaced Israel, is not what the Bible says in Romans. I cannot accept same-sex marriage, the real reason against it is – GOD HAS FORBIDDEN IT! Because of that sin God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah – why are we allowing it in the nation, in the church? And if the church will not repent, God will judge the church – whether it’s Anglican, Evangelical or Catholic! God is so strong in 2 Chronicles 7:14: If My people, who are called by My Name, will hear My voice and repent, and turn from their sin, I will heal their land. Unless there is repentance, God will bring judgement. God destroyed the world in the time of Noah. He will not heal the land until we repent and turn from our sin! Christians talk a lot about the church being the Bride of Christ. What is the future of the church? What is the future of Israel? Is the Bride of Christ Jewish or Gentile? These are big questions! What are we waiting for? What is our immediate hope? The immediate future is to see armies surrounding Jerusalem, the battle in the Valley of Jehosophat, facing the East Gate of Jerusalem, Christ coming back to the Mount of Olives, coming for His Saints. But the church does not become the Bride at that point! When Christ comes back, He comes to bring judgement, give us our reward, put the devil in chains, and to rule the world for 1000 years! Is Israel today the fulfilment of all God’s promises? No! Because the promises of God cannot be totally fulfilled until Christ comes back as Messiah! Has Israel come back to the Lord? To the land, yes – to the Lord, no. But the Bible says that Jesus is Lord and King and will rule the world from Jerusalem! It also says (Zechariah 14), when He comes back, His feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives, it will split in two, opening up a
great seaway linking the Mediterranean to the Red Sea – and Jerusalem becomes a port, the capital of the world – from which we will rule with Him!! What will happen to the church? No, you won’t be the Bride of Christ then, you’ve got a job to do first! We have to rule the world with Him, overcome the evil, bring peace, see the fulfilment of everything God has promised about the Millennium. Only after that comes the new Heaven and new earth when we shall have our wedding feast! How else do you see the Scripture fulfilled?! Who was first told to preach the Gospel? The Jews! Jesus said to His Jewish disciples – not a Gentile amongst them – go into all the world and preach the Gospel! The first challenge to the Jew was to preach the Gospel of the Messiah to us! The Gospel came first to us, the Gentiles, through Jewish missionaries! But because of the failure of the Jewish believers, the fact that religion dominated and destroyed the missionary endeavour, today we Gentiles are having to do what the Jews were called to do! We have to accept the responsibility which was first given to them. Salvation was first to the Jew. But because of the hardness of their hearts, the Gentiles were included. The church is not a Jewish church, nor a Gentile church. Whether we are Jew or Gentile, we are one in Christ! The Bible says Christ has broken down the dividing wall between us and made of the two, one man! I love Israel because I am ‘half Jewish’! Not by natural birth, but by spiritual birth! The Scripture says I’m a ‘branch grafted in’! Part of the root! I’ve got Jewish roots because I am grafted into Christ! I love the Jews – they are my brothers, my sisters! I want to bring them together in Yeshua, in His deliverance, His salvation! I am emotional about it! If we have an emotion, a passion, then we do something! And if God speaks, get up and do it!
2013, 2014, 2015… Did I understand this when I was in a communist prison? You will never know what a communist prison was like. But the reason I am accepted by the Russian-speaking Holocaust survivors in Israel today is because of that prison experience. They say, “David, you have become one of us.” Because I went out and did what God told me! We’re coming to the end of the age, we’re living in a dangerous time. But I believe I’m going to see Christ come back in my life time! We’re going to see the glory of God. How can we bring the glory back to God? – When we see the miracles and the demonstration of who He is! David’s vision was to show the glory of God through the Temple. My vision is to show the glory of God through the preaching of the Gospel, the salvation of Jew and Gentile, of Catholics, of sinners – this brings glory to God! Let me challenge you, whether Jew or Gentile, the first call to preach the Gospel was to the Jews: go into all the world and preach the Gospel – and they went! But today, because God has broken down the barrier between us, and the church is both Jew and Gentile, God has made a new creation! If any man be in Christ, whether Jew or Gentile, he is a new creation! God has made of the two, one new man! We’ve got to stand in that and rejoice in that – and do something about it! Let’s pray for Israel! How long does Israel have before the next war? The forces are massing, they are going to make an issue over Jerusalem, demand that it become an international city, set up the world church. And when Israel refuses, the nations will attack and Christ comes back – it’s so near. God help us, let’s do something now!
I used to be a pastor – until God ‘delivered’ me! What did He do? One morning after my Sunday sermon in church, God said to me, “Shut up, I’m tired of listening to you. Stop talking. Let’s have some action! Go out there and do what you are talking about! And only come back when you’ve done it!” And God has fulfilled every dream, every vision, every prophecy – and a thousand times more! I can see the progression of what God will do in

ISRAEL – YESTER In March David Hathaway held 3 days of meetings with thousands of Russian-speaking Holocaust survivors together with members of the younger generation, all came to hear about their Jewish Messiah and the fulfilment of Jewish prophecy. David said: ‘In the Book of Numbers, in your Jewish Scriptures, Balak paid Balaam to curse the children of Israel. But he could not, because God has blessed! Balaam said to Balak, “God is not a man that He should lie, nor the son of man that He should change His mind. Has He said, and shall He not do it? Has He spoken and shall He not make it good? I have received a command to bless, and He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.” Numbers 23:19-20. ‘Today you are surrounded by dangerous nations, I know the daily rockets and missiles – but God sends me to bless Israel… The God of Israel – your God, my God – is a God who delivers… When your families, your relatives
4
were in the ghettos, in the Holocaust – you cried out to God, and God delivered: the only reason you are here in Israel is because God made the way! God cared for you! Those pioneers, those Zionists who fought for this land and found deliverance – God was with them! God is with your nation! God is in your nation! The God of Israel loves you! He cares for you! If you will call on Him now, whatever your problem, whatever your need, God is here! Why have I come? – Your God delivered me from a communist prison! Israel is in crisis, threatened by enemies who want to destroy the nation. In your crisis now, cry out to Him, He will deliver you! The whole of the history of Israel shows that every time Israel is in trouble, in despair – God came to
deliver you! I love Israel because, when I cried out in my despair, it was a Jew, Yeshua, who set me free me from prison, who healed me of cancer two times – 40 years ago, throat cancer – 10 years ago, lung cancer. His Name is Yeshua – that means God saves, delivers, heals every sickness, forgives every sin, every curse of the past. – I know! – I am the living evidence of the power of Yeshua! I want to pray with you! I’m telling you nothing new – I am telling you about your Jewish Scriptures, your prophets, about Yeshua, who was born a ‘Sabre’ – here in this land! He was born here, died here. He is alive today – and He wants to rescue you!’

David Hathaway Research Katie Morris On 12 February the French National Assembly approved a draft bill legalising same-sex marriage. Although at the time of writing it still needs to win the approval of the French Senate and be signed by the president, it is expected to become law as soon as May 2013. This would make France the 13th country in the world to allow gays and lesbians to legally wed. The United Kingdom is set to follow. On 5 February, the British House of Commons voted overwhelmingly in favour of same-sex marriage. While this bill is in committee stage there can still be objections, and it still has to pass the House of Lords, but nonetheless it is expected to become law this year. People are asking why British Prime Minister Cameron so urgently introduced the bill since it was not in any election manifesto, therefore his government has no mandate for it. Some say Cameron has an eye on the next election and the gay-lesbian vote… But what if the decision was not made by Cameron, but by a group – with their roots in the ‘Illuminati’ – whose aim is world government under the control of the devil and whose goal since 1776 is to create a New World Order. Their six declared strategies leading to world government are the abolition of: monarchy, national sovereignty, private property, inheritance, normal family life (marriage), and religion. Some of these strategies have already been implemented through communism and socialism, through the old Soviet Empire and now the European Union! And how quickly in recent years! As the votes in France and Britain indicate, the concept of marriage – at least in the West – is changing faster than anyone could possibly have predicted. Most of the countries that currently allow gays and lesbians to wed are in Europe and the Americas. The following nations have approved same-sex marriage: The Netherlands in 2000, Belgium 2003, Spain 2005, Canada 2005, South Africa 2006, Norway 2008, Sweden 2009, Portugal 2010, Iceland 2010, Argentina 2010, Brazil 2011 and Denmark in 2012. In USA same-sex marriage was legalised in some jurisdictions beginning in 2003 and also in Mexico in 2009. In the coming months President Obama will decide whether to endorse gay marriage as an equal right under the Constitution. In his inaugural address in January, he sounded as though he had made up his mind when
6
he said, “Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law, for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.” But this is a major Biblical issue. I totally agree with equality – unless it legalises sin. From the beginning God created us men and women, and all the rest of creation, with one command – ‘be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth.’ The purpose of our sexuality is to produce offspring. Which is why homosexuality was condemned in Romans 1:24-27; and for this same reason God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah! The destruction of marriage is a tipping point in the destruction of normal family life, with devastating consequences nationally and internationally. WHO ARE THE ILLUMINATI? On 1 May 1776 Adam Weishaupt — a Bavarian occultist — founded a new secret society, the Order of the Illuminati. ‘Illuminati’ means ‘Enlightened Ones’, a word already long used to describe those guided by the supernatural ‘enlightenment’ of Lucifer, the ‘Angel of Light’ who was cast out of Heaven (Isaiah 14:12-17). – One may fear that the ‘Enlightenment’, also known as the ‘Age of Reason’ and of ‘Humanism’, which began in the 18th century and rules to this day, is in fact a diabolical rebellion against God. One year after founding the Illuminati, Weishaupt joined the ancient Egyptian Order of Freemasons, bringing his satanic order with him into the heart of European freemasonry. WHO ARE THE FREEMASONS? This is the world’s largest and most pervasive secret society, with its roots in the mystery religions of Babylon and Egypt. The leading freemasons in the UK are members of the Royal Family. And according to some reports, every leader or head of state in the official photograph at Israeli Prime Minister Rabin’s funeral in 1995 was a mason! The Rev Charles Finney, a great American evangelist of the 19th century, had been a mason. Following his conversion he left, exposing and denouncing its errors. What he knew so alarmed him, it was largely this that drove him to proclaim the Gospel of Christ throughout the world! Dr Torrey and Rev D L Moody, also leading evangelists, joined him in denouncing freemasonry. The actual ‘theology of freemasonry’ is
revealed by one of its leaders, Albert Pike (who headed the Illuminati in the US), when he wrote in 1889 that ‘LUCIFER, god of light and god of good is struggling for humanity against ADONAY the God of darkness and evil’ — [meaning the God of the Bible and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, editor]! Pike also wrote of freemasonry, ‘...the world will soon come to us for its sovereigns and pontiffs. We shall constitute the equilibrium of the universe and be RULERS OVER THE MASTERS OF THE WORLD.’ From its foundation the goal of the Illuminati was to carry out the plans of freemasonry and create a ‘NEW WORLD ORDER’ by first gaining a foothold in the key policy-making circles of European government. Focusing attention on humanitarian ideals, human rights, the need to solve national and international problems — the ultimate aim is world dictatorship under the control of Lucifer. To achieve this, 6 simple strategies were set in motion — the abolition of: monarchy, national sovereignty, private property, inheritance, normal family life (marriage), and of religion. THE ILLUMINATI AND COMMUNISM The Illuminati (using Robespierre, then Babeuf) steered the French Revolution of 1789-94, bringing in a reign of ‘egalitarianism’ and terror that threatened to topple the whole of Europe. This was the first attempt to implement their 6 strategies, sweeping away the monarchy, the church and traditionally accepted social/family structures. Only the preaching of the Wesley Brothers and others saved Britain from revolution, and turned the nation back to God. In 1847 the Illuminati then formed the Communist League, and commissioned Marx to write the Communist Manifesto (1848) incorporating all 6 strategies. In 1859, the Illuminati launched their campaign for International Communism from New York. They then used the Great 1914-1918 War to send Lenin, a student of Marx and a Russian revolutionary in exile in Switzerland, to topple the Russian Tsar. Smuggled across wartorn Europe in 1917 in a sealed armoured train, Lenin was able to establish the first ever Communist state with massive finance from the Illuminati, the International Bankers or Money Power. May 1st, the day the Order of the Illuminati was founded in 1776, is celebrated by both the world’s great revolutionary movements: communism and socialism!
Prophetic P rophetic
THE ILLUMINATI AND THE MONEY POWER The founder of the Rothschild banking empire said in 1863, “Give me control over a nation’s money, and I care not who writes the laws.” Today American and European Central Banks are not government controlled, but controlled by private corporations, the Money Power. The introduction of the euro currency in Europe is the means to take control of Europe’s sovereign governments; unless national governments cede their sovereignty, the currency will not work – another of the 6 goals of the Illuminati on the way to being achieved! Lucifer’s 6-step programme for world control is accelerating, through the creation and infiltration of influential bodies, by intrigue, and through every sort of crisis: war and uprisings, control of food, energy and international trade (shortages, deficits and debt), inflation and deflation, financial collapse, setting groups and nations against one another (communists, socialists, capitalists, dictatorships and ‘democracies’ — all puppets pulled by the same strings) — devising and manipulating insurmountable problems, including ‘climate change’. — This is their ‘crisis route’ to world government. IN THE LAST 100 YEARS there have been at least THREE attempts to impose world government: In 1919 the League of Nations, set up after the end of World War I (10 million dead in just 4 years). The reason — to prevent such a war happening again. In 1945 the United Nations Organisation, set up after World War II (more than 45 million dead including 27m Russians, 6m Jews, 6m Poles, 4m Germans, 2m Japanese). Again for reasons of international security. In 1991, at the start of the Gulf War, US President George Bush broadcast to the world, “This is a historic moment. I am hopeful the fighting will not go on for long. We have in the last year made great progress in ending the long era of conflict and cold war. We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a NEW WORLD ORDER where the rule of law governs the conduct of the nations.” And with the ending of the Gulf War, America began the current ‘Peace Process’ to solve the Arab/Israeli question. PEACE – WHERE? HOW? This peace process, this New World Order, is nothing but the plan of Lucifer who is the devil, and the goal of the Illuminati. Beginning in Europe in 1776, we must ask to what extent the European Union today is part of the plan? And will it take World War III, an actual Arab/Israeli conflict, to finally compel a trembling world to accept absolute world government — under the Antichrist? The vision given Daniel of the image with the 10 toes of iron and clay was interpreted some years ago as 10 European nations, especially after the Treaty of Rome was signed by six nations in 1957 to form the European Community. This is difficult to substantiate today as the member states of Europe now exceed 27, and still increasing. However, we find that in April 1968, another organisation called the Club of Rome was formed with the clear blueprint to establish world government by dividing the world into 10 regions! Most of the directives for the planning of world government are presently coming from them. The world is divided into ten political/economic regions, which they call ‘kingdoms’. This seems to be a more likely fulfilment of Daniel 2:31-45, 7:19-28, Rev 13 and Rev 17:12-14. The kingdoms appointed by the Club of Rome are: 1 North America, 2 Europe, 3 Japan, 4 Australia, 5 Russia, 6 South America, 7 North Africa and the Middle East including Israel, 8 Central and Southern Africa, 9 India and Malaysia, 10 China. CHRIST’S RETURN True Believers are the body of Christ on earth — as such, we are the inheritors of Christ’s power and authority and are able, and commanded, to do what Jesus did while He was on earth. Our ‘follow-up’ to His earthly ministry is the preparation for His return and His World Government! The spiritual time-scale today is accelerating in preparation for His Second Coming. We can look at spiritual signs in the church, in the world, even argue over prophecy, or ask if there will be a revival before Christ comes… But we are in danger of forgetting that the ‘Rape of Europe’ is about to take place and the unleashing of a tribulation so severe that the nations will ‘cry for the rocks and mountains to hide them’. Jesus said that before He returns there will be a ‘night’ when none of us can work. All the signs – and the restoration of Israel – are Biblical prophetic indicators of the soon return of our Messiah! The ministry of believers is to prepare themselves and the world for this. Yet it sometimes seems to me that the church is just like the world in eating, drinking and marrying, as if, because Christ has delayed so long, it won’t happen yet; ‘one world government’ and other Bible prophecies seem far, far away. Yet the Bible warns in Thessalonians that the rapture and return of Christ will be sudden, like a ‘thief in the night’.

GLORY TO THE GOD OF ISRAEL! Katie Morris David Hathaway
God has set a prophetic seal on our work in Israel! Before the start of our Friday meeting in Israel, one of our key organisers told us he recently had a new member in his congregation, a man who is telling everyone that he was miraculously healed in a hospital in Russia when David prayed. We asked, “What’s his name?” – “Anton!” – “Oh Anton from Perm! The one who should have had his leg amputated! Phone him and tell him to come to the meeting tomorrow!” So on the Saturday, as we were getting towards the end of David’s preaching, I suddenly remembered we hadn’t asked if Anton had come! I turned around, and there, backstage with me, was the Pastor. Yes, Anton had come. David was now making the call to repentance, then the prayer for healing. I wrote a quick note, ‘Anton is here!’ and put it on the pulpit. David saw it, and called to Anton from the platform to come forward. He came, climbed up the side of the stage where there were no steps, only a high barrier he had to swing his legs over – and there he was! So well! Two legs, so healthy, eyes shining. And he told his story. How he had known God, how he backslid, fell into crime and ended up in prison – ten years ago. How he was beaten up by the guards, (and now I am beginning to add in some of the things that he told us in the VIP room afterwards), was put in a freezing isolation punishment cell with a damaged leg, then was cast into an overcrowded cell
8
and was neglected, how he developed septicaemia, how his leg went black with gangrene up to the knee, how they put him in a prison hospital with no medicine, how he wept tears of fear and repentance, how his mother and grandmother paid money to get him released from the prison and put in a ‘normal’ hospital, how they heard David was coming to evangelise in their city! But now Anton’s believing grandmother and mother knew what to do. They had Anton, doubled up with pain and already almost at the point of death, carried into the meeting on a stretcher! The grandmother grabbed first me, then David and made him pray for Anton. – But Anton was not healed! He was carried out of the meeting back to the hospital in agony. But mother and grandmother would not allow God to let Anton die! As David was leaving Perm for the airport to fly to Moscow, to fly straight on to meetings in Israel, mother and grandmother made sure David stopped on the way at Anton’s filthy, dirty, ‘normal’ hospital. We did not know he already had the papers to sign to allow the doctors to amputate his leg, and that he was ready to do it because he was going to die anyway. David prayed and, not knowing about the consent papers, said, “Do not let them cut your leg off. In six months I will be back in Perm and you will stand on the platform with me, with two legs, and you will give glory to God for your mira-
cle!” In that moment, Anton received a gift of faith. He did not sign the consent form. Within one week he was able to stand and walk on crutches, and within six months he was indeed on the platform in Perm with David giving glory to the God who had totally healed both the gangrene and his liver (hepatitis). Two years later we found out he had been to Mission school and got married. Later we heard he had had two beautiful girls! But the strange and amazing thing is, Anton did not hear what David actually said, the Holy Spirit must have mixed the conversation up on purpose, so that he and his family heard David say, “I will be in Israel, and you will stand with me on the platform and give glory to God for your healing!” At that time they could not figure out why David had said, “You will stand with me on the platform in Israel and give glory to God for your healing.” They were living in Perm. But this is a Jewish family, and they emigrated from Russia to Israel one year and three months ago! On this Saturday in March 2013 Anton turned to all the Jewish people crowded in the auditorium in Israel and said, “Yeshua, Jesus, is the Son of the Living God! He changed my life. I am not a criminal in prison, I have a new life, I am a changed man, I am healed, I have a healthy wife and children. And now I live in Israel. Today, here on this platform, is the fulfilment of prophecy! You must believe in Yeshua!”

GOD WILL BLESS POLAND! Werner Oder
Summer 2012 I stood at the Selection Point at Auschwitz-Birkenau, where many Zionists had gathered to express their repentance over the Holocaust that killed 6 million Jews. My heart is always troubled when I am in Birkenau, Poland. But this time my heart was troubled with something that was not right. Yet what we did at Birkenau was so right. We prayed for Israel, we repented for the past, we asked God’s forgiveness. It is right to remember Jewish victims. It is right to say ‘never again’ and ‘we will not forget’ the suffering of the Jews. It is right to work toward reconciliation and stand against antisemitism. But it is not right to ignore the fact that only 3 km away in the early years of Auschwitz 1, most prisoners were Poles, not Jews. Historian Professor Martin Gilbert points out, that of the first 611 people who died at Auschwitz, 591 were Poles and 20 were Jews. It is wrong when, in the vast body of Holocaust literature, little sympathy is extended to those first 591 victims and the subsequent 2,999,409 Poles who were murdered. And it is wrong to ignore the 6,266 Polish men and women who risked their lives to save the lives of Jews. As individuals a third of all the ‘Righteous Gentiles Among the Nations’ were Polish, and as a nation Poland ranks first among the 40 ‘Righteous Nations’! Edward Lucaire says that ‘The bestkept secret about the Holocaust is that Poland lost six million citizens, about one-fifth of its population: three million of the dead were Polish Christians, predominantly Catholic, and the other three million were Polish Jews.’ It is wrong to ignore thousands of Polish people who lived out their Christian faith to the extent of laying down their lives for their Jewish neighbours, only to
be ignored by an ungrateful world. It is right to remember the victims, but wrong to ignore those who were martyred in trying to save them. Lucaire: ‘The second best-kept secret of the Holocaust is the greatest numbers of Gentile rescuers of Jews were Poles, despite the fact that only in Poland were people (and their loved ones) immediately executed if caught trying to save Jews.’ It is this that troubled me at Birkenau this summer. It was not until I listened to my heart that I began to discover that this sinister Conspiracy of Silence I identified in my book, ‘Battling Nazi Demons’, did not just cover the crimes of the Nazis, but the martyrdom of true Christians who laid down their lives for the Jews. Three million of them were Polish Christians. Lucaire: ‘Are these three million Polish Christian souls not worthy of honour at Holocaust remembrance ceremonies and in Holocaust literature?’ It is right to remember the recent history of Israel; wrong to forget the recent history of Poland. Thousands of books have been written about the Jewish Holocaust; very few mention the Polish Holocaust. Historian Richard C Lukas (The Forgotten Holocaust) observed that ‘So many Poles were sent to concentration camps that virtually every Polish family had someone close to them who had been tortured or murdered there.’ Hitler hated the Poles as much as the Jews. Heinrich Himmler, head of secret police, promised that ‘all Poles will disappear from the world.’ It is right to remember the tragic suffering of God’s chosen people; it is wrong to think that the suffering of Poland is less important. What troubled me at Birkenau was the devious complexity of silence which ignores the millions of Christian deaths.
Maybe it’s time to tell this story, it is too important to forget. We need to focus as much on the courage of the forgotten heroes who preferred to die the death of a martyr than live the life of a coward who remains silent. We cannot and must not keep silent over the murder of six million Jewish men, women and children; neither must we keep silent over the three million Christians who were martyred in Poland because they tried to save the Jews. William Styron warned, ‘To ignore the existence of these victims – even if it is certain that Jews suffered more than the others – is to minimize the Nazi horror. It is to underestimate dangerously its totalitarian dimension.’ 450,000 Jews were saved by Poles such as Irena Sendler, who alone saved 2500 children. May God bless Poland for the thousands of Poles who had the courage to do what few other nations did – to stand up for what is right, no matter what the cost. For that, Poland was decimated by the Nazis, ravaged by the Communists, and ignored by the world. Yet history tells us that Poland has one of the most generous and courageous people in the whole of Europe. And may God bless all those who will learn from the self-denying courage of those who were martyred for standing against an evil that endeavoured to destroy the Jews. As Europe is returning to pre WWII political correctness, which is nothing but a thin smokescreen behind which the monster of antisemitism is rising from of the ashes of Hitler’s Third Reich, we pray that we, like the Poles, will walk in the courage of true Christianity and save the Jews from another Holocaust. ©Werner Oder is the son of an Austrian Nazi, SS Unterscharführer Wilhelm Oder, who trained the Einsatzgruppen in Rabka, Poland.

Katie Morris – David Hathaway
The greatest miracle in the history of the Jewish people is the miracle of their exodus out of Egypt – a miracle so great, today it remains totally unsurpassed by any other! So I am puzzled by an – as yet – unfulfilled prophecy: In the days when the Jewish people were in exile, not in Egypt, but this time in Babylon, God spoke to the prophet Jeremiah, (16:14-15 and 23:7-8), saying, a day is coming when the deliverance out of Egypt will have become insignificant, and a far greater deliverance, a far greater exodus, will be celebrated – an exodus ‘out of the land of the north and out of ALL the lands where God has banished them’ – into the land which God gave their forefathers! This prophecy was clearly not fulfilled in their deliverance out of Babylon, because the deliverance out of Egypt is still the greatest! We, in the Church, think of the deliverance out of Egypt correctly as a demonstration of the miraculous power of God, but we easily overlook its fearful context. A context of extreme and prolonged TROUBLE, oppression and bitterness for the Jewish people. TROUBLE so extreme that Abraham experienced its dark night prophetically as God made Covenant with him, warning him that his descendants would be ill-treated and enslaved for 400 years, but that then He, God, would bring them back into the land He had promised (Genesis 15). TROUBLE so extreme that it caused God to remember His Covenant with Abraham, and to commission Moses: “I have seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, I know their sorrows, and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of
12
the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land into a land flowing with milk and honey...Come now I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth My people.” (Exodus 3:7-8,10). The exodus experience in its totality was so extreme and so unique, Moses said of it in Deuteronomy 4:34, “Has God ever attempted to take any nation out of another nation, as God has done for you, BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES, when He took you out of Egypt, by temptations (trials and difficulties), by signs and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great TERRORS?” But we are still waiting for the fulfilment of Jeremiah 16 and 23, which speaks of a deliverance of the Jewish people, so extreme, SO GREAT, that God says that the deliverance out of Egypt will bear no comparison! Or, is it already happening BEFORE OUR VERY EYES?! And we don’t quite ‘see’ it? Jeremiah, during the exile in Babylon, not only spoke of a surpassingly great future deliverance for Israel, that would eclipse the exodus out of Egypt, but he also foretold the TROUBLE – JACOB’S TROUBLE – that will precede and precipitate this deliverance: ‘For, lo, the days come, says the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it…For thus says the LORD, we have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask now, and see whether a man can travail with child? Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in
travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of JACOB’S TROUBLE, but he shall be saved out of it.’ (Jeremiah 30:3-7). Towards the end of the exile in Babylon, as Daniel was fasting and mourning and weeping before the Lord, expecting the prophesied 70 years of exile to be reaching their fulfilment, God sent a ‘man’ (Daniel 10:1-6) to reveal to Daniel, not the ending of the Babylonian exile, but prophecies until the ‘time of the end’ (Daniel 10,11&12). In Daniel 12:1 this ‘man’, this heavenly messenger, warns of ‘JACOB’S TROUBLE’, (as God did through Jeremiah), saying: “At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people, and there shall be A TIME OF TROUBLE, such as there never was since there was a nation, even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the Book.” From the Jewish and Biblical perspective, there is to be a glorious resolution to their 4000 year conflict with God – a conflict which began in Jacob in his mother’s womb (Genesis 25:22-26), culminating in his wrestling with God until break of day saying , “I will not let You go until You bless me!” And God blessed him, saying, “Your name shall no longer be Jacob (deceiver, grasper), but Israel, for as a prince you have power with God and with men, and have prevailed.” (Genesis 32:22-28). Hebrew grammar also allows the name Israel to be interpreted as ‘the one for whom God fights and prevails’ – and antisemites should remember this! Jacob, who wrestled with God, is regarded as the greatest of the three Patriarchs. Abraham

nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should be no flesh saved. But for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened... Immediately after the TRIBULATION of those days...the powers of the Heavens shall be shaken and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in Heaven, and then shall ALL the tribes of the earth mourn and they shall see the Son of Man coming in great glory.” (Matthew 24:14,21-22,29-30; compare Zechariah 12:10).
had his Ishmael, and only Isaac inherited God’s promised blessing. Isaac had his Esau, and only Jacob won God’s blessing. But the long dark night of Jacob’s struggle with God won the blessing for all his sons together – and prophetically for the whole nation, ALL ‘whose names are found written in the Book at the time of the end’. If Jacob prophetically won the blessing of God for all his sons and all his descendants, there is One who is greater, One who is bringing the prophecy of this blessing to pass, One through whom an even greater blessing has been won! Of Him God says in Isaiah 49:5-7: “Now says the Lord who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob again to Him...It is a light thing that You should be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also make You a light to the Gentiles (to the nations), that You may be My Salvation to the end of the earth!” Simeon, the old man in the Temple who took Jesus in his arms as a baby recognised this, and blessed God, saying: “My eyes have seen Your Salvation, which You prepared before the face of all people, a light to lighten the Gentiles (the nations), and the Glory of Your people Israel.” From the days of Abraham till Jesus, God has warned of the suffering and the TROUBLE of His chosen people the Jews, and then also of the Gentiles who will become His chosen people through faith in Him. Before He died, Jesus told His disciples, “This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations, and then shall the end come...For then shall be a great TRIBULATION, such as was not seen since the beginning of the world till this time, no,
The time of JACOB’S TROUBLE represents a time unparalleled in world history, a time of unprecedented TRIBULATION, focused on a particular people, the descendants of Jacob – Israel – with the nations of the world gathered against Israel – and under God’s judgement – in this final drama. (Zechariah 12,13&14.) We are living in the days of JACOB’S TROUBLE; we are seeing, not Hitler’s, but God’s final solution for the Jewish people, His great deliverance! – It is taking place BEFORE OUR VERY EYES! From the gas chambers of Hitler’s Holocaust, to the miracle of the rebirth of the nation Israel in 1948, through the Arab wars of annihilation and unrelenting acts of terrorism, even to this day, God ‘by war, by outstretched hand, by great TERRORS’ is delivering Israel, through this last and greatest TROUBLE – culminating in the greatest blessing the world has ever seen – the return of Christ, to rule and reign from Jerusalem – over Jew and Gentile alike! This is the challenge to the Church: Twenty years ago, in February 1993, David was preaching in Britain when God showed him a vision so strong that it was as if he was already looking back on its fulfilment. Normally a prophet stands on Sunday and prophesies about Monday, but David felt he was standing on Tuesday, looking back on what was already accomplished, it was so real to him. As the vision unfolded before him, this is what David said: God is beginning to say something quite strong: “Ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man upon the earth, ask from one side of Heaven to the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, or has ever been heard like it!” (Deuteronomy 4:32.) God was challenging Moses, and He’s challenging us, the Church, “Look into the
past, look into the whole of history, look right back to the beginning of Creation, and ask this one question – whether on earth or in Heaven, the earth has ever seen, man has ever seen, you have ever seen – what God is about to do!” Now this gets me excited, because God is saying to you, to the Church, in the last days, now, “I am prepared to do something greater, bigger than anything that has ever been seen in the history of the earth – and I’m about to do it NOW!” The challenge is that God is about to do the greatest miracles the world has ever seen. He’s going to raise up prophets, men like Elijah – men with an anointing in the power of the Spirit to do greater works than Jesus did (John 14:12)! There’s going to be an enormous battle taking place in Europe, in Russia, in Israel – Satan is going to be defeated, his power is going to be broken! If only you knew what’s about to happen, you would not be falling asleep. God is exciting me because I see in His Word what He’s about to do now – the greatest Glory, the greatest Power, the greatest Ministry – I’m excited because we are going to be saying exactly what Deuteronomy 4:32 says, “Ask of the days that are past,” – go back, ask history, go back to the Welsh Revival, to the days of Smith Wigglesworth, George and Stephen Jeffreys – go back to the beginning of time since the day God created man on the earth, ask every saint and say, “Has God ever done anything such as He’s going to do today, in the Church, on the earth?!” That’s the excitement! We’re living in the last days, the days of the Return of Christ, the days when we’re going to see Revival Fire bursting on the Church, poured on the Church, until the Church is going to be alive and working and believing and moving into spiritual victory – all in preparation of the glorious return of Jesus! Those days are going to culminate in the sound of a trumpet, and that sound is going to echo from every building, until suddenly, in a blaze of Glory sweeping across the sky from the East to the West, Christ is going to come back and take control! You see, afterwards, people will ask this, “Has there ever been any such thing as this great thing? Has anybody seen or heard anything like it in the history of the earth?” That’s what I am believing God to do – NOW! People of God, rise up in faith!

MY NATION HAS TO HEAR! Colonel Avraham Greenzaide, Chairman of the Veteran’s Union of Fighters against Nazism, said of David Hathaway in 2012, “MY PEOPLE need to hear the words of this preacher.” He meant, the people he is responsible for in his Union. This year, 2013, he said something stronger – “MY NATION needs to hear the words of this preacher!” Avraham also wrote this letter and had it read from the platform to more than 1000 Russianspeaking Jews who had come to Friday’s meeting: 22.03.2013 To David Hathaway – preacher of God’s Word Dear Sir Veteran’s Union of World War II-fighters against Nazism is grateful to you for constant attention and assistance in arranging and conducting a number of charity events for people whose average age is 87 and who lived through horrors of WWII. Let all your sermons and prayers for the benefit of mankind and people who live in the Holy Land of Israel be heard by the Lord. With deep respect sincerely yours Abram Greenzaide, Chairman Lyubov Fine, Coordinator of social problems
Katie Morris Do you have a pressing problem and do you desperately need an answer to prayer? To do the work of this ministry takes us to the extremes of our faith, until no man can answer, only God. Whilst praying recently, my eye fell on a comment in the book, Rees Howells Intercessor. To paraphrase, Howells was saying, the whole purpose of prayer is to get the answer, and that we must ‘not lose anything the Spirit has revealed to us’. Suddenly I could hear Jesus at the Last Supper, saying He had lost no one and nothing His Father had given Him. – And today in Heaven, Scripture tells us, He is still praying that same way! For us! Suddenly I so knew that God requires of ME that I should lose nothing that He has said over the ministry, over David, over His whole plan... I KNOW what God said to David, and I KNOW, what we are experiencing are the terrible birth pangs that will bring God’s promise to pass – (John 16:21)! Always, in my heart, I go back to what I know God has said! And I KNOW Jesus is praying over the same in Heaven, as He has given me to pray over on earth, and I KNOW it is His will is that I lose none of what He has said, none of it! So I won’t. And God will do as He says! Later I understood this is all about the parable of the sower and his seed – we have a word from the Lord, if we will fight to ‘keep’ it – against every opposition, every difficulty, every distraction and every other human desire and temptation – if we will be the ‘good soil’, it WILL produce its harvest! – Mark 4:3-20. Then I understood something more – if we will ‘only’ keep this word, it will produce its harvest ALL BY ITSELF, whether we sleep or wake – Mark 4:26-29. There is life in His Word, it WILL WORK FOR YOU! – John 1:1-5. This is the Word who MADE ALL THINGS! – John 1:3. It can’t fail! Then I understood something even more – this tiny mustard seed of faith you and I have will grow SO BIG, for us in our ministry, multitudes in Israel and in Europe will find shelter in it! And for you, your word will grow SO BIG, it will accomplish everything God has spoken of and promised you! – Mark 4:30-32. Has God spoken to you and promised you something that you have not yet received? Then hold on to the promise He gave you! Jesus said that when two or three agree on earth concerning anything, then God will do it for you! And when you agree with what you KNOW God has said to YOU, it is like shaking hands with HIM, it’s an agreement, a promise, a covenant He will NOT break – IF YOU HOLD ON TO IT!
