A VARIETY OF ARTICLES This end-of-the-year Newsletter contains a variety of articles some of which are brief and others are a little longer.
THE SEVEN BLOWS "....NONETHELESS, AT 3 P.M. ON THURSDAY JULY 12, 2001 YOU AND NANCYTONI ARE TO TAKE MY STAFF AND GO TO YOUR BACKYARD AND FACING SOUTH-SOUTH WEST PROPHESY TO STAND ASIDE AND STRIKE THE EARTH SEVEN TIMES, SEVEN BLOWS FOR SEVEN JUDGMENTS TO COME IN QUICK SUCCESSION. THIS IS NOT SEVEN YEARS BUT SEVEN EVENTS AS LOOSED BY THE CHURCH IN AMERICA AS REPRESENTED BY THESE 20 PASTORS." (JESUS' WORD to Chuck-JOHNEL July 8, 2001) American Airlines jet Flight 587, an Airbus 4300, crashed in Queens, New York on November 12, 2001 (271 killed). This was discerned as being the fifth or sixth * blow. After considering events I've drawn the conclusion that we have seen the 7 blows. BLOW #ONE - September 11, 2001 United Airlines Flight 175 (56 passengers and 9 crew
members) hijacked by Islamic terrorists crashes into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, New York City. BLOW #TWO - September 11, 2001 American Airlines jet Flight 11, a Boeing 767 (81
passengers and 11 crew aboard) hijacked by Islamic terrorists crashes into World Trade Center North Tower, New York City. BLOW #THREE - September 11, 2001 American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757 (58
passengers and six crew members) hijacked by terrorists crashes into the Pentagon, Washington, D.C. BLOW #FOUR - September 11, 2001 United Airlines Flight 93 (38 passengers and 7 crew aboard) hijacked over Pennsylvania. Passengers attack Islamic terrorists, in struggle jet crashes southeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. (see comment on Page 3) BLOW #FIVE - In mid-October,2001 the Anthrax terrorist attack surfaces in the U.S. BLOW #SIX - American Airlines Flight 587, an Airbus A300, crashes in Queens, New
York on November 12, 2001 (271 killed). *Note --- Up until this point in time and after learning more about what happened on Flight #93, it is obvious the terrorists deliberately flew that aircraft into the ground before allowing the passengers to take control back — thus this qua? if es (in my view) as a blow.

ontinued BLOW #SEVEN - The cumulative effect of these blows has resulted in a strong economic turndown in the United States. Some 500,000 people lost their jobs, the Stock Market took a nose dive and the economy has slipped into a "definite" recession.
The crash of Flight 587 in Queens, N.Y. on November 12' h is very curious . The tail fell off (most unusual) not long after taking off, then the engine on the right wing fell off, then next, the engine on the left wing fell off — this aircraft was literally falling apart
in flight. It is either a catastrophic mechanical failure* or someone tampered with the aircraft somewhere along the line. It does not, however, have to be a terrorist act to be counted as a "blow." *Note - The odds of such a mechanical failure happening are astronomical but not impossible. Presently the findings are that this was a mechanical failure. BLOW #FOUR COMMENT: On pondering the circumstances of Flight #93 1 have revised my initial view and now count the crash of Flight 93 as a "blow."
THE SEVEN BLOWS With the crash of Flight #587 on November 12 ` ' I believe that the seven blows have happened. When JESUS said these 7 blows would come in quick succession I perceived that there would not be months between blows. As I look at what has happened and the effect of it, 11th the seven blows fell in a period of 62 days from September to November 12`h. The number 62 has always been related to judgment from the earliest days of this Ministry. That the seven blows fell inside of a 62-day period of time only reinforces my discernment that this is "judgment." The over-all effect of these seven blows is far deeper than the apparent immediate loss. As a nation we are now at war, a war that promises to be long and bloody. Terrorist camps exist in an estimated 50-b0 nations across the globe. As President Bush has stated, this is going to be a long war, in fact it has on]y just begun. The collapse of the Taliban in Afghanistan is not the beginning of the end of this war, rather, it is only the beginning of the beginning. As time passes we may better understand the deeper meaning of these seven blows; but for now I see them as seeds of coming troubles or previews of what will come in greater measure in the days, weeks, months and years ahead of us.

On Sunday, November 11, 2001 10: 30PM JESUS spoke to me saying. "WITHIN THE NEXT 18 DAYS SIGNIFICANT EVENTS." (November 11-November 29, 2001) While I had been told earlier this day that the 4.0 Richter earthquake of November 11 th in Spokane was a "Foreshock" (meaning a stronger earthquake was now coming) I knew NOT to apply this as a time table to an expected larger earthquake. What I needed to do was to watch what did happen and pray to discern which events were of significance. This is what I noted from news clips:
A.) Earlier this day (November 11' x at 8AM) SPOKANE was shaken by a 4.0 Richter earthquake. I came to the understanding that this earthquake was a foreshock and will lead to a 5.$ Richter or greater intensity earthquake. 11th

1 This is a listing of the news events from November 11'-'' to November 29 '' (18 days) that I perceived were "significant".
WHAT DOES JESUS MEAN BY "SIGNIFICANT EVENT"? Normally, apart
from JESUS showing or telling me what He means by use of that term I wouldn't have a guess nor would I venture one or assume anything. In this case, the 1thHOLY SPIRIT has and November 19tb given me insight into the source of the earthquakes of November 1 and this tells me that these events are forerunners of things coming that will also come in greater measure. The earthquakes that shook LOS ANGELES on October 7 th (the date projected for the "Physical Force" to surface) were discerned as being forerunners of a major earthquake. In fact, these are indications that tremendous physical forces are beginning to emerge under Los Angeles. The earth is being physically dislocated as the "Corma Spike" rises up into the earth's mantle. The swarm earthquakes to shake Mt. St. Helens have the same source (the th "Corma Spike'). Likewise, the 4.0 Richter earthquake to shake Spokane November I 1 is also a product of this corma spike physical dislocation. Also, the earthquakes striking Nebraska/Kansas, Missouri and Virginia on November 19`h are nearly identical in Richter scale (3.3) to what shook Los Angeles October 7 th and these shakers of November 19 th also have the "Corma Spike" as a source. THE SCOPE OF WHAT IS UNDERWAY: The Corma Spike continues to rise from
deep in the earth and it is now beginning to lift the whole crust of the earth in a vast expanse, and as it does faults will be energized and become active and violent. In areas with no faults the rocky layers will crack and in places where earthquakes are common, they will become even more frequent and much stronger-deadly. The lift effect of the Corma Spike is being felt in earthquakes from Los Angeles, to Mammoth Lakes, to San Francisco, to Seattle, Vancouver, Spokane and then all the way east to Nebraska/Kansas, Missouri and Virginia on the east coast. It's reaching and effecting a radius of at least 2,800 miles from Mammoth Lakes, California. Next year, 2002, we could see some very powerful earthquakes strike in divers places. There is no question that we are now seeing only weak shadows of a storm that will

"WITHIN THE NEXT 18 DAYS SIG NIFI T EVENTS" Continued) explode on America with the kind of fury none can now foresee — but it is coming. While I cannot be certain that e ver y news event I've listed (pages 4-5) is a forerunner or that I've discerned or am aware of every "significant event"; but I do perceive that these are "forerunners" of things to come. For example, let's look at some of these news events: D.) This war is going to become a drain on Americas resources over tine. E.) Means that there will be an increase in unemployment and hunger in America leading to a time of food shortages. I.) This can be a shadow of the coming "Tiny Star", something a lot bigger than a minuscule meteor shower.
There is no time frame, meaning that these judgments can unfold over a period of months, even years. At best, we have some idea of what is coming down on America in the near future. A PERIOD OF REVELATION: I've been here before and understand that at this time JESUS is laying down a foundation of revelation to understand what He wants me/us to see. Just what that is I cannot say at this time as He continues to do groundwork in revealing things.
100,000 DEAD Back in 1979 1 began to understand something of the extent of unbelief at work in the Body of Christ in America. It was apparent that the vast majority of Christians were both uninformed of the coming judgment and equally unable to receive JESUS' WORD and warnings. The need to repent was not understood, the call to prayer was ignored and the key factor in much of this behavior was unbelief. In 1979-19$d* while at supper, Randy (a young prophet who worked with me at this time) and I discussed this issue of unbelief among God's people and wondered what it would take to wake them up to the reality of His Word and warnings. Having this in mind at that moment JESUS spoke to me and said, "ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DEAD." The Lord JESUS was telling me that it would take the loss of 100,000 lives in America before the Church would begin to wake-up. It occurred to me that this would be a sudden loss of life from one incident, one single deadly event. *Note - I remember the Lord's Word clearly but not the year it came.
Then JESUS would speak of this issue at other times revealing the p rice of unbelief.

On May 14, 1980 JESUS would say this, "200,000 DEAD (in America) IN A PERIOD OF 9 MONTHS TO A YEAR." Then on January 6, 1981 JESUS said this, "....VERY NEARLY 900,000 WILL FALL THE PRICE OF UNBELIEF AND REBELLION." JESUS' use of the word "price" got my notice even in 1981 — He is saying that there is a
clear price to unbelief. Unbelief is not something that we catch like a cold, it is something we willfully embrace, it is a choice and something we elect to do or not do. Over the years I have seen repeatedly that when brethren turn to JESUS to know if the Word He gave me is from Him, that invariably JESUS reveals to them that it is His Word. By the 12-year judgment cycle the year 1980 is parallel to the year 2004 and the year 1981 is parallel to 2005 so it is more than possible that we might see His Word of 1980 (above) fulfilled in 2004 and His Word of 1981 (above) fulfilled in 2005.
If we take the revelation that 1979 is in the picture this year (and it looks that way), then we may see dimensions of His 1980 Word (above) begin to surface in the year 2002. Likewise, His Word of 1981 (above) could also begin to surface in 2003.

The judgments that have struck via the seven blows and in other areas spring from demonic action working through God's Law that is permitted by the Church via their unbelief and rebellion (rejecting/resisting God's Word),

We have won the first round! (Light Brigade Prayers) The Light Brigade prayers have kept the peace, and have exposed the enemy plan for November 2 nd (to blow -up suspension bridges) - the enemy (terrorists) have backed off due to too much light, too much heat. However, this was to be expected for JESUS told us in 1985 that while prayer would back the enemy off from November, they would come back in December.
JESUS' WORD to Chuck-JOHNEL during abiding on October 30, 2001 at 1:50 pm "CONCERNING THE SECRET SERVICE, DO NOTHING FURTHER WITH THEM. IF THEY REQUEST COPIES OF THE COUNSEL LETTERS SEND THEM COPIES, IF THEY REQUEST COPIES OF THE NEWSLETTER SEND THEM COPIES. BUT ONLY DO THIS IF THEY MAKE A REQUEST, OTHERWISE HAVE NOTHING FURTHER TO DO WITH THEM.... YOU ARE NOT YET TO STAND IN FOR THE NATION. WAIT UNTIL I TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. TRAGEDY, HARM WILL STRIKE SUDDENLY AND TERROR REIGNS IN FRESH DEADLY AND DESTRUCTIVE BLOWS. APART FROM NATIONAL REPENTANCE AND PRAYER AMERICA SHALL FAIL IN ALL THAT IS UNDERTAKEN. PRIDE GOETH BEFORE A FALL. THE ENEMY IS EVIL BUT IT IS AMERICA'S SIN THAT BROUGHT THIS EVIL AND GAVE IT POWER. I HAVE IMPARTED MUCH TO YOU TODAY. ABIDE IN ME JOHNEL."
Later this day, while standing in line at the Post Office JESUS said this, "YOUR FIRST COUNSEL LETTER WAS DISCARDED AT THE WHITE HOUSE, YOUR SECOND COUNSEL LETTER WAS DISCARDED AT THE WHITE HOUSE, YOUR THIRD COUNSEL LETTER WAS DISCARDED AT THE WHITE HOUSE. YOUR FOURTH COUNSEL LETTER WILL NOT BE DISCARDED."
I came to know that the White House has learned today (10/30/0 1) that Iraqis behind the supply of anthrax being sent through the mail in the U.S.

Observation of Military Uniforms November 10, 2001 note by C-J In the past few weeks wherever I/we go in town and where I see young men, I'm seeing them in military uniforms knowing that they will be drafted into military service. When and why is not known. It is, in my understanding, a revelation of a coming worsening or expansion of the war or a whole new one that will force the reinstatement of the military draft..

Abiding time - Chuck-JOHNEL's notes Light Bri ade ra ers about October 23rd Saturda y , November 10, 2001 10pm I see and hear, at first "FOUR", I think 4:20 but then I hear "FOUR IN EARLY EVENING. 4:02 PM." Then I hear that the San Francisco earthquake will be as great as the earthquake that struck Missouri in the 1800's. So powerful that hills will slump, sink. The water will be stirred violently, it looked as if it would run away and come back - a tsunami.
JESUS' Word by His Angel to Chuck-JOHNEL given on Sunday, November 11 2001 at 8:05 A.M. I worked through the night into the early morning hours and at 8:01 AM Sunday November 11 `h a horrific roar and shaking hit, an earthquake of some size. I believed it was bigger than the one we felt on June 25` h , likely a 4.0 Richter. We learn later in this day (USGS report) that this earthquake was a 4 Richter, hit about 13 miles North East of the city. Try to get back to sleep, go to bed, about a few minutes later JESUS' Angel speaks to me saying, "JOHNEL, THIS IS A FORESHOCK." I try
to fall asleep, again the Lord's Angel tells me, "THIS IS A FORESHOCK."
Minutes later the Lord's Angel speaks to me again saying, "AGAIN, THIS IS A FORESHOCK." From what I understand about foreshocks is that they precede a larger earthquake by
anywhere from 48 hours to two or three weeks maximum. However, there is no revelation of timing, all I know is that this earthquake is a foreshock, meaning the next one will be much bigger. On this basis we began addressing and mailing a COVER LETTER and a one page st EARTHQUAKE ALERT starting November 21 to residents of Spokane selecting these randomly from the telephone directory. As of this date (December 4, 2001) we have mailed out (or handed out) approximately 700 of these EARTHQUAKE ALERTS with a COVER LETTER. We will continue doing this as long as we have the means to address and mail
these out to people in Spokane, Washington.

THIS WAR ON TERROR and GRADUALISM
Commentary by: Chuck-JOHNEL In our September 16 `h Newsletter (entitled: "SO NOW, STAND ASIDE UNTIL BLOOD RUNS ANKLE DEEP") I made this observation on Pages 39-40: (quote) "WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT? Under God's Law of an eye for an eye, our nation has the position of being able to strike back at the terrorists with immense opportunity to do
significant harm to them. In other words we would have the edge in a war with the terrorists and their systems that backed the September 11 th attack on the U.S. I perceive that America oughtfind the terrorist bases and terrorists responsible and strike them hard and furious prevailing at this level of engagement until the enemy is destroyed. In this we would have a lawful basis to pursue such ends and to be assured that God is with us. Not only could we win, we should win! However, there is a downside to operating in God's law — all is well (eye for an eye) until' one exceeds the boundaries allowable, taking too many eyes can end up giving the enemy the edge in the next engagement. Operating under God's law in this kind of situation is like walking in a mine field - one must be very careful and very discerning." (Unquote)
On October 7, 2001 President Bush ordered the opening air attacks on the Taliban military in Afghanistan. U.S. liberal News media were predicting a "Viet Nam like nightmare, a military disaster." I did not take this view having some confidence in our military forces knowing that they would likely perform very well and if unhindered (as the military was in Viet Nam) they would win hands down over the Taliban. My confidence was based on two things, (I) We had God's Law on our side meaning we would easily prevail over this enemy who have been attacking our country for years now. (2) Our military, though cut in half by Clinton, is still well able to fight and are able! I was a little concerned in the first weeks of air attacks as it was becoming obvious that the military was being held back from using the full firepower they had - the B52's and B I bombers were not being used. The explosion and spread of Anthrax in the U.S. seemed (in my opinion) to have brought President Bush to order an all out attack on the Taliban. Shortly after the B52's bombers began attacking the Taliban military forces (each bomber carries 36,000+ pounds of high explosives) the war turned suddenly in our favor as the Taliban began to disintegrate under the massive bombing attacks. Suddenly the Taliban were fleeing and the Northern Alliance was advancing everywhere, it became a rout. Still, I had/have concerns that we may slip into a gradualism, a gradual expansion of this war that will tie-down our military for an extended period of time. The longer our military is committed to fighting a war, the greater the danger that we could face multiple threats

THIS WAR ON TERROR and GRADUALISM continued which we cannot cope with. Even now, there is talk that we will go after Iraq next, and just today President Bush ordered the seizing of Hamas funds (a Palestinian terrorist organization). The expansion of this war on terrorism is on-going and to be blunt there is no end in sight. In the military operations in Afghanistan the U.S. military loss stands at 3 men (2 from friendly fire) killed; whereas, the Taliban and Bin Laden's troops have lost thousands killed and many more wounded. This disproportion (our loss versus the Taliban/ Bin Laden losses) is to be expected for the reasons stated in the September 16 th Newsletter (see top of Page 11). We have God's Law working on our side, we are the injured party and have power under God's Law. But as I also stated in the September Newsletter, at some point in time we "may" exceed what is lawful in which case the tables can be turned against us in a protracted war. If we
are NOT aware of the lawful limits, if we are not discerning just where the lawful limits lie, our nation is going to walk into a nightmare.
THE 30-DAY JOURNEY A
HOLY SPIRIT Insight November 17, 2001
On November 17, 2001 I sent an e-mail response to a "Special Urgent Request" by a brother named Steven Lockard who has a Ministry in the White House, who asked for any/all visions/revelations concerning attacks/invasion onlof America. I was led to send him an e-mail report (11 pages) summarizing what JESUS has shown me from 1976 to the present. I will offer this 11-page e-mail in the enclosed RESPONSE FORM. In writing this e-mail for Mr. Lockard I first reviewed our book "TIE STAFF AND THE S WORD "(published in 1979) and was led quite distinctly to mention just "how" I first came to know that the U.S. would be invaded. It had to do with the three-day walk through Chicago in 1976 and how as I began to read Ezekiel chapter 2 (taking a Bible break during the walk) that a puff of wind blew the Bible pages to Ezekiel 4, so I read that. Thus came the revelation (Ezekiel 4: 6) that the 3-day walk through Chicago in 1976 signified three years of judgment, a time within which the U.S. would be attacked, invaded, destroyed and occupied. Later, the Lord gave us a verse in the book of Isaiah which also spoke of three years of judgment, confirming the first scripture view I got from Ezekiel 4. Again, in working on writing this e-mail it dawned on me that I could apply the 30-day
The Staff and Sword Minis
Pane 13
THE 30-DAY JOURNEY (continued))
journey in a way I never dreamed of until now. I was aware that this was a HOLY SPIRIT insight.
The Lord was quite specific about the journey to Washington, D.C. in 1977 being done in `h 30 days and when President Carter was too busy to see us on April 7, 1977 (29 day), JESUS instructed us to leave on Good Friday, April 8", the 30" day (even though White House scheduling was willing to set up a meeting with the President the next day or April th 8 th ). GOD's scheduling did not allow for that meeting to take place on the 30 day, it had to be the 29` h or not at all.
But here is the insight. It has to do with Ezekiel 4:6, `..J have appointed thee each day for a year. "IfI take the day we left for Washington D.C. (March 10, 1977) and see the 30 days as 30 years before the judgment would fall in full force, I come up with March 10-
April 7, 2007. I'm glad I didn't know it would be 30 years down the road in 1977, that would have unsettled me back then to be sure. It has been 24 years since the 1977 30-day journey to Washington, D.C. - so 6 years more is neither a stretch nor unsettling. The most recent projection for this judgment to begin full force was given in the last Newsletter (which is also consistent with our speculations for the past two years) A major quake LOS ANGELES-year 2002 A major quake SAN FRANCISCO - year 2004 The Persian Gulf war 2005, accidental nuclear attack 2005 Nuclear World War III 2007 The 30-day revelation being 30 years fits and agrees with this view. It may be just this simple, but then the question arises, "Do the three years of judgment fit in the next 6 years or do they come after 2007?" If it comes after 2007 we would see the three years of judgment run from 2407 to 2010. Details! As much as one can understand there are always more questions that cannot be answered. On the other hand we keep getting closer to the mark.
GABRIEL's message in 1982: This does come to mind in considering whether the three years count from say 2004 to 2007 or from 2007 to 2010. In 1982, while extending the Seal of the Living God across North America, I had the heightened awareness as I did during the 30-day journey in 1977. At that time (in 1977) JESUS' Angel took my appearance and was seen by people in places I was not. More, Christians who saw me in this time period (1982) kept seeing me as an Angel or saw a duplicate of me with me or

THE 30-DAYS JOURNEY continued
sitting alongside of me who they knew was an Angel (it unsettled some brethren to see this). The Lord JESUS would explain to me that His Angel was taking my appearance that 1982 and was appearing in western and eastern Europe and other places around the globe. Evidence of this came in 1983 when the End Time Handmaidens out of Arkansas published in their January 1983 Newsletter a police sketch of a man (sketch to the left) who was hitchhiking across Europe (seen in Germany, Austria and Switzerland) — who after getting in the auto told the driver, "I'm the Archangel Gabriel. The world will end in 1984." The drivers (who were many) were skeptical until this

man vanished before their eyes. People were so troubled they reported this encounter with the Archangel Gabriel to the police. This police sketch of what Gabriel looked like was based on the descriptions of those who had seen Gabriel. The resemblance to me was quite astounding, down to the kind of stance I usually take. When I received the Newsletter from the End Time Handmaidens and opened it up my daughter Marj a (then 5 years old) on seeing this sketch (to the left) said, "Daddy what is your picture doing there? "
Interestingly, up until 1983 I didn't know the name of the Angel who worked with me over the many past years. This Angel was at the least, formidable and quite serious - sent by God the Father to keep me safe when in His Commission. Now I knew he was the Archangel Gabriel. This was how the Lord JESUS chose to reveal his name to me. Did I believe that the world would end literally in 1984? No! I knew by then that in someway that the year 1984 fit into some time parallel that would eventually reveal the actual year. What did the Archan gel Gabriel mean by, "the world will end!?" I understood then that God's meaning was that the world as we know it would end. Again, it was not speaking of the literal end of the world.

would be shattered by that war. That European world (the social, religious and political order) ended from 1939 to 1945. If Gabriel "had" (hypothetically) spoke these words in say 1938, saying, "the world will end in 1939", that would have been realized during World War II. The year 1984 by the 12-year judgment cycle lines up with the year 2008. If I take the time parallel where 1979 is parallel to 2001, then 1984 by this time parallel would line up with the year 2006. It is time to begin to assemble the various time revelations we have to begin forming a better picture of the time ahead of us. I believe that from the abundance of revelation we have that this may be resolved in the near future.
WHITE HOUSE IN 2006? This is an interesting thought. JESUS sent me to the President in 1977 but the President then (Jimmy Carter) did not receive us in the time He allotted (the 29 `h day) for such a meeting. Perchance, will we end up seeing the President in 2006 which would be the 29`h year.

After eight years of Bill Clinton, I guess I shouldn't be surprised by anything. Yet, I've got to tell you, this statement and its timing take my breath away. I'm nearly speechless, nearly....." (Unquote) COMMENTARY BY CHUCK-JOHNEL: It is now well known that during Clinton's administration that he (Beastman Clinton) actually protected ("incubated" one Congressman said recently) Usama bin Laden for a period of three years. Although there was a $5 million price on his head Clinton and his administration ignored every opportunity to take him captive. One Congressional study (which was suppressed during the Clinton years) found that Clinton aided and abetted bin Laden. Just last night I heard a man testify (on the TV "O'Reilly Factor No Spin Zone") that he personally spoke to President Clinton and Sandy Berger about how the Sudanese government was willing to turn bin Laden over to them in 1998. Neither Clinton or Berger responded to the offer, they ignored it. The Sudanese government did NOT want bin Laden in their country and they expelled him (since Clinton did not want this terrorist/murderer), thus bin Laden and his lieutenants moved to Afghanistan. One of those men that moved with bin Laden to Afghanistan was the man who master-minded the September 11 ` h terrorist attack on the U.S. Keep in mind that in the years Clinton protected bin Laden were years AFTER bin Laden had supported or directed efforts that resulted in the death of U.S. servicemen and destruction of our Embassies in Africa to say nothing of the attack and death of dozens of U.S. military men in Somalia led by bin Laden's terrorists. To hear this creature (Beastman Clinton) blame the American people's past sins for the 1th September 1 terrorist attack is galling in the extreme! It is clearly evident that the one who deserves not just the blame but the one who engineered and made this, attack on the U.S. possible, is none other than Bill Clinton. This man should be arrested and put on trial for both treason and sedition. IN THE GAP 1.987: In the GAP In The Spirit' in February of 1987 I watched this Beastman of antiChrist lead the demon armies out of hell, moving to break into America to bring death and destruction on the American people. That was his objective and this was made plain to me by the HOLY SPIRIT as we confronted and battled his demon armies in The GAP. The scope of Beastman Clinton's crimes are so extensive that it would take several sizeable books to detail each of his crimes since he became President in the year 1993.

CLINTON BLAMES AMERICA (continued) Under Beastman Clinton the CIA, like the U.S. Military, had its budget drastically cut (by over 60%) and under Clinton leadership the CIA human agents were dispensed with, `h which blind-sided our intelligence apparatus to where the September 11 attack was made possible. I say "made possible" because it was not mere incompetence or poor leadership that opened America up to these murderous terrorists but that the antiChrist spirit's open vessel (Bill Clinton) was actively led to open America up to its worse enemies. These things did not happen by mischance nor because of America's past sins but because they were skillfully engineered by demonic powers working through willing vessels, Beastman Clinton being foremost among them. All it took thereafter would be the Church rejection of JESUS' Word of warning and His call to repent and pray — once doing this, the way was open for a murderous attack on America which came in full force starting September 11, 2001. Joseph Farah writing for the WorldNetDaily on November 9, 2001 went on to say, (Quote) "Now, less than two months after the most dramatic attack on the United States in its history, he is lecturing the American people on their collective guilt. He does this in full view of the whole world, including our enemies. What on earth does America's history with slavery and Indian atrocities have to do with Islamic terrorism in the 21 s ` century. Only Bill Clinton sees a connection. I guess he doesn't realize that slavery still exists today throughout much of the Islamic world. I guess he doesn't realize that our enemies in this war still persecute and kill indigenous peoples. And I guess he doesn't realize his own personal and political culpability for the tragic events of Sept. 11. ... Let's recall the climate Bill Clinton created upon taking office in 1993. In an unprecedented action, he fired every U.S. attorney in the country, replacing them all with his own political appointees. He brought in Janet Reno as attorney general, who would personally supervise the incineration and massacre of innocent men, women and children at a church in Waco, Texas. He hired as FBI director, Louis Freeh. The FBI issued a report, on Clinton's watch, explaining that the No. 1 terrorist threat facing America came from right-wing Christians, not Islamists. After the Oklahoma City bombing*, his FBI ignored evidence of a link to Osama bin Laden." *C-J's Note - Anyone who took a close look at the evidence that was suppressed by the Clinton administration during the trials of McVeigh will easily see that Islamic terrorist were involved.

CLINTON BLAMES AMERICA (quote continued) "After the downing of TWA Flight 800 (over New York City in 1998), his FBI ignored the overwhelming eyewitness evidence of a missile attack on the civilian airliner. That's because Bill Clinton saw only one threat to his own political ambitions, and that threat came from the right in the form of a vast conspiracy. He coddled the Taliban in Afghanistan, pouring U.S. taxpayer aid into that corrupt,
oppressive and backward regime. His hand-picked "Bin Laden Task Force" missed opportunities to take out the terrorist who would wreak so much havoc on this country. The FBI had more important priorities, looking under every bed in American for a member of the vast, right-wing conspiracy. I do agree with Bill Clinton on one thing: America does have some things to reflect on, some sins of the past for which we will be forced to pay over and over again, some transgressions that are unexplainable, horrible, unimaginable. And none of those errors can top the fact that we as a nation, we as a people, elected this grotesque caricature to the highest office in the land." (Unquote) Commentary by Chuck-JOHNEL: I' m also aware that under Beastman Clinton this nation opened its borders to a flood of illegal aliens, and among these millions of Moslems among whom came these rabid terrorists who are still in our midst. Beastman Clinton did everything one could imagine (and some things no one could imagine) to open America up to its deadliest enemies and then succeeded so well as September 11"' proved. I was aware of the fact that Islamic terrorists were behind the Oklahoma City bombing (McVeigh was only a mule for these terrorists, a messenger boy); but what surprised me was to learn (on FOX TV NEWS weeks ago) that the attack on our troops in Somalia in the early 1990's under Beastman Clinton (approximately 30 U.S. soldiers killed) was led and organized by bin Laden terrorists (these are the ones who shot down our helicopter killing so many of our young men). This "truth"was covered up by Clinton until now. Beastman Clinton blaming America for the September 11 `x' terrorist attack is typical Clinton, something he does every time he faces the "possibility" of facing the consequences of his own criminal and evil actions — he blames someone else to draw attention away from himself. In the GAP In The Spirit' in 1987 we saw Beastman Clinton riding a black horse, bearing a war sword. Under JESUS' direction we withstood him (delaying his Presidency from 1988 to 1992), and broke his power which manifested in this world when Clinton ran into troubles during his administration. Even so, he did a lot of damage. What I ponder now is that we saw a second beastman who took his place, a man riding a red horse with a huge war sword. This creature is coming on the scene at some time in the future, maybe near future.

FLAMING SWORD 2001 NORTHERN LIGHTS OCTOBER, 2001-.NOVEMBER 2001
The 12-year
judgment cycle again! This kind of snuck-up on me as I hardly noticed when it happened until Dan Bohler and a Ministry Prayer Leader and sister in Christ (CarolESTHER N. of Canada) sent me some news clips with color photos of the brilliant Northern Lights. What we are seeing this 2001 is yet one more (among too many to recount right now) events of 1989 repeating or reappearing in 2001, some 12 years later. The "Flaming Sword* of March 1989" was foretold by JESUS' Word to me and NancyTGNI while we were in the GAP `In The Spirit' in January-February of 1987.
*Note - JESUS referred/refers to the Northern Lights as "a Flaming Sword". Basically the Lord JESUS told us that the battle we fought to withstand the beastman of antiChrist (Clinton) and the demon hordes he led would surface in this world as "a Flaming Sword", which we understood to mean "Northern Lights" as men term thern. JESUS told Nancy-TONI that they would appear on March 15. From our experience in the GAP in 1982 we had seen that events taking place in the GAP take TWO YEARS before they begin to appear in this world. Thus we were looking at March 15, 1989 for this event. Sure enough, massive Northern Lights swept the earth going further south than any had been seen before on March 15, 1989. In that March of 1989 we looked upwards at the swirling lights in the night sky and realized that we were actually seeing reflections of the battle we fought with the demon armies of the beastman some 2 years earlier. We were equally aware that this visible "flaming sword" also signified that masses of demons bent on destroying America had broken through the GAP and were entering into this world. It would be five years from 1987 before the beastrnan Clinton appeared on the scene. The effect of the warfare we waged in Christ in the GAP had gotten us three years from the time the "Flaming Sword" was seen in 1989 (Clinton was elected in 1992). The number of days we battled the demon armies in the GAP in 1987?
13 days!
The time of the appearance of these "Northern Lights" or the "Flaming Sword" this 2001 was: — October 25 to November 7' — 13 days!

FLAMING SWORD 2001 continued Seeing that the beastman (Clinton) did not take office until the year 1993 (beastman Clinton won the election of November 1992) this suggests that the antichrist system' will not come
into full power or play in America until the year 2005** — the year we believe the accidental nuclear attack will happen (also the Persian Gulf war). Things to ponder! *Note - This includes the beastman on the Red horse as seen following Clinton (first beastman on the black horse) in the GAP and In The Spirit' in 1987.
**Note - The next Presidential election will be 2004.
I am including with this Newsletter (enclosed) a special report on THE FLAMING SWORD, but wanted to make this report in the main Newsletter as well with focus on recent developments. What we are seeing by the "Flaming Sword of 2001" is a repeat of what was seen in 1989, and this also signifies that we are going to see a whole new wave and surge of demonic power sweep America. In the past years I have come to the understanding (subject to change if the HOLY SPIRIT shews me otherwise) that the beastman on the Red Horse, following the pattern seen in the two beastmen who came through the GAP in 1982, that the second beastman is likely to be someone having powerful influence in the government, someone around the President (but is NOT the president) who operates with Presidential power that leads America into serious trouble.
WAR AGAINST AFGHANISTAN 1979/2001 This October, 2001 Autumn A. dropped us a note and made this observation, (Quote) "In 1979 the USSR invaded Afghanistan and now in 2001 the United States decided to bomb them. I find this interesting because you said JESUS said that 1979 would repeat because you stood aside in July, 2001. " (Unquote) Autumn is quite correct and I appreciate her astuteness in seeing this (I didn't think of it). JESUS said in 1981 that when I'm required to stand aside (which was done this July 12, 2001), that it would be as if we were back in the year 1979. On December 14, 1979 Soviet armed forces invaded (attacked) Afghanistan. Now, this October, 2001 the United States attacks Afghanistan. This proved to be a ten year war for the Soviet Union (which they lost) — what will the outcome be for the U.S. seeing that this is a parallel (thus "like" the 1979 Soviet experience)?

MUSLIMS IN THE WHITE HOUSE On Monday, November 19, 2001 President George W. Bush hosted 50 ambassadors from
Islamic countries for a traditional meal and prayer at the White House to mark the start of Ramadan. It is thought to be the first time that Muslims will have knelt and touched the floor with their foreheads in a formal ceremony in the official home of American presidents. Added to this, in another unprecedented event, the Muslim chaplain of Georgetown University officiated at the opening prayers of the House of Representatives on Capitol Hill yesterday. Charlotte Beers, who has been chosen to take charge of an American-led campaign to build support in the Muslim world, said that the White House and State Department wanted to show sensitivity to the importance of Ramadan.

REVEREND FRANKLIN GRAHAM CALLS ISLAM "EVIL" You will find the November 21, 2001 news article (USA TODAY by Cathy Lynn Grossman) and another shorter news clip dated November 20 `x' on the next page addressing this issue in some detail. In the week of November 11-17 Reverend Franklin Graham (Billy Graham's son) stated rather plainly that Islam was "evil and wicked" and he would not back down when criticized by Muslim leaders. DR. MICHAEL SAVAGE (radio talk show) made the comment about a week ago (he is quite fact-based most of the time) that on this earth 4 of every 5 wars are being waged by Muslim fundamentalists trying to overthrow existing governments to install an Islamic state (Taliban version). He also stated weeks earlier that Islam has been waging a war of extermination against western culture (Christianity/Judaism) for 1,009 years. September 11 th was the most recent "wake-up" call from Islam to underline their intentions.

"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I wilt also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven ... t did not came to b ring peace, but a sword " -- Matthew 10:32-34 "Allah is the guardian of those who believe. He brings them out of the darkness into the light, and (as to) those who disbelieve, their guardians are Shaitans who take them out of the light into the darkness Koran 2.257 By Cathy Lynn Grossman USA TODAY The Rev. Franklin Graham, a strict evangelical Christian, gave an invocation at President George W. Bush's inauguration in Jesus' name,' and he still toes a sectarian line on the hot topic of Islam even when it means breaking ranks with the president he blessed. Graham is the latest of several conservative Christians to call Islam evil and to make no differentiation between the beliefs of terrorists and the teachings of Islams holy book, the Koran. Bush never misses a moment to praise Islam as a religion of peace. Tuesday, at a pre-Thanksgiving event, Bush talked about compassion and charity as values Muslims share with everyone of faith. Monday, he held the first Iftar party in the White House, for ambassadors from Muslim nations. Muslims are celebrating the holy month of Ramadan with prayers and fasting from sunrise to sunset, when people gather for an Iftar meal. Bush cited the teachings of "God's greatness and his commandments to live in peace and to help nei v hbors in need, according to the (I Oran)." But Graham, quoted last weekend calling Islam evil and wicked, has not backed down. Following criticism from Muslim leadership, Graham issued a brief statement saying, "All religions have differences." He specified concern for Muslim treatment of women and "the killing of nonMuslims or infidels'" and mentioned his relief mission, Samar-
itan's Purse, for its multimilliondollar aid to Muslims worldwide. Graham should not be faulted for standing by the fundamental Christian concept "that no man comes to the Father except through me (Jesus)," says the Rev Chuck Colson, the founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries, often cited by Bush as a model of faithbased public service. "I wouldn't have said what Graham said. But I agree that lsIam is a religion, which, if taken seriously, promotes violence." Colson decries "a mushy civil religion ecumenism where we want to be united as a nation so there are these interfaith services and there is a tendency to think one God is the same for everybody." While he's all for national unity and praises Bush's efforts to celebrate common ground, Colson draws a line a president cannot. Unlike Bush, his job isn't political or military victory or economic success, its religious truth as he sees in "You can read (the Koran) figuratively and get a very benign reading. Or you can read it literally and it scares the life out of you." But, Colson says, "You can't paint everyone with the same brush" Many Muslims "are peace-loving," he says, Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, counters that critics of Islam "don't know as much as they think they know. They know as much as they want to know." CAIR was waiting lbesday for word whether Graham would accept an invitation, issued Monday, to meet with Muslim scholars. Meanwhile, Hooper is weary of inflammatory quotes about infidels taken out of Koranic context, " My Christian mother sleeps soundly at night not worrying that I am going to attack her," he says, while reeling off provocative lines from the Bible's Deuteronomy. "There's no problem with Christians saying Christianity is wonderful and everyone should accept it. It's when they attack other faiths that we have problems. Muslims begin everything we do 'in the name of God, the compassionate, the merciful: It opens almost every chapter of the Koran — and our letter to Graham."
Religious tolerance may be weakening President Bush calls Islam a religion of peace, and Congress opened last week with prayer by a Muslim chaplain, but some well-known Christian conservative political activists and preachers are breaking ranks. This weekend, Paul Weyrich, president of the Free Congress Foundation, called for the U.S. Postal Services year-old "Eid Greetings" stamp to be rescinded and "overprinted with the image of the twin towers," because "America's most notable experience with Islam was the attacks on Sept. 11." Meanwhile, the leaders of Council on American-Islamic Relations and the American Muslim Council were outraged by evangelist Franklin Graham, seen on NBC Nightly News on Friday, the first night of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, calling their faith "wicked, violent and not of the same God." Grahams only statement since the broadcast says he is called to "love all people, regardless of their faith," and points out that Muslim people are the chief beneficiary of his international relief mission, Samaritan's Purse. )' '•jam . b y"
The reporters who have written these articles (to the left and above) simply do not reflect the true issues, they are merely stating facts, statements and all under the heading of "tolerance", thus seeing Christians as being intolerant.
But let us get serious and look at what the Koran (the Muslim holy book) states. The following comes from the "Voice of the Martyrs" November, 2001 Magazine. (Quote) "In his 56-page booklet, "Islam Unveiled," Abdullah Al Araby (pen name) extensively quotes from the Muslim, holy book, the Quran (Koran) to help us understand the foundation of violence, upon which Islam rests. (We must remember that many individual Muslims do not endorse violence)."

"In the Quran (Koran) in Surah (chapter) 2: 191, God orders Muhammed to kill his opponents, "Kill them wherever you find them, and drive then out from wherever they drove you out... " "The Jews call Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah... Allah 's curse be on them; how they are deluded away from the truth!" (Surah 9: 30). Fight those who do not believe in God and the last day...and fight People of the Book (Christians and Jews) who do not accept the religion of truth (Islam) until they pay tributes (tax) by hand, being inferior. (Surah 9: 29) In resorting to violence, Muslims are easily finding passages in the Quran and Hadith (Muslim commentaries) that not only condone violence, but also demand it. (This fertile Quranic ground, approving violence for every Muslim, exists in the Quran whether or not a moderate Muslim know this or disapproves of this.) "I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them. It is not ye who slew them; it was God. " (Surah 8: 13-17) (Unquote) I have been receiving "The Voice of the Marty rs" Magazines now for many years and from one issue to the next all I read (and see photos of) are Christians being butchered by Muslims month in and month out from Indonesia, through Asia, to the Middle east, to Africa - wherever MosIems rule a nation. Fundamental Moslem states rape, murder, torture, enslave and brutalize as a way of life anyone that does not accept their religion. In Sudan, the Moslem part of that nation have been attacking the Christian half and have murdered 2 million Christians in the past ten years — the U.N. supplies the Moslems in Sudan with guns and weapons so they can finish the job.
PEOPLE VERSUS THE RELIGION It is essential to make this distinction, to distinguish between the people of Islam and the religion of Islam as two different issues. The Turkish government is a Moslem state, but they are quite moderate (from what I have heard) and tolerant of other religious beliefs unlike most Moslem states. The moderate Moslem is basically someone who does not rigidly follow the directives of the Koran, who do not agree with the murderous side of that religion; but I have noted that the moderate Moslems are virtually silent in the face of their more violent brethren. I suppose it has

In a December, 2001 letter from "The Voice of The Martyrs" Dr. Tom White wrote as follows (Quote) "Serving the Persecuted Church for more than 30 years."
Have we shamed the face of Jesus? Muslims in our Pulpits It was called the "Congress of the Cults" Over 4,000 priests, pastors, and ministers from all denominations were assembled. They had. elected Joseph Stalin as their honorary president. One after another went to the podium proclaiming that Christianity and communism were fundamentally the same. They could co-exist. They could "all get along." A young Christian woman could bear it no longer. She looked at her husband, a Lutheran pastor, and said, "They are spitting on the face of Jesus. Go wash the shame off His face" Her husband warned her, "If I speak against the communists, you will no longer have a husband." The pastor's wife, Sabina Wurmbrand, simply replied, "I do not wish to have a coward for a husband" So Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, a lone voice among the 4,000, went to the microphone. He was well known in Romania, and everyone believed he would go along with the assembly for the sake of "peace." He didn't. He spoke only of loyalty to Jesus Christ. He could not "co-exist" with any entity that opposed the Great Commission principle. For his simple protest, Richard paid dearly—as did countless Christians who refused to "bow down" to the ways of communism. Today we face the same scenario. Jesus is being spit upon in American churches. Christians are selling their soul for a "peaceful co-existence" found in deceit. But who will come forward and wipe away the shame? I cannot take it any longer. How many of our brothers and sisters must be beaten, tortured., burned or decapitated, before we realize that Christians and Muslims DO NOT serve the same God? We love the Muslims. Many of our co-workers put aside their own safety to reach them for Christ. We print special literature in their languages; we produce and broadcast special programs into the Middle East. We are willing to give our own lives to win the soul of a single Muslim. But we will never, never align ourselves with Islam and its militant teachings. To do so would destroy the very witness many of our brothers and sisters are dying for. Across America pastors and Christian leaders are allowing representatives of the Islamic faith to freely speak in their pulpits. This happened at Willow Creek Community Church, the largest church in Am erica, where a Muslim man named Faisal Hammouda P.O.

not "peacefully co-exist" with Christians. Faisal Hammouda did not speak for Islam. If he thought he did, he was deceived. Islamic teachings offer no tolerance for those who reject Mohammed for Christ.
Read the Koran for yourself. Study Islamic
(Unquote Dr. Tom White of Voice of the Martyrs)
In the 11th - 13 `" century Christians armies marched from Europe to the Holy Land to drive the Moslem invaders out, thus the wars against Moslems (Crusades) who not only invaded but butchered anyone who was not Moslem. In 1635 a Polish King did battle, leading a Christian army against invading Moslems (they were moving to sweep over Europe and extinguish Christianity) and soundly defeated them

MUSLIMS IWTHEWRITE HOUSE ( continued driving them back to what is now
Turkey. Interestingly, the date of that battle in which Islam suffered a stinging defeat at the hands of Christians was SEPTEMBER 11 ` h of 1635.* `x
*Note - This little factoid was noted by Dr. Savage not long after the Sept. 11 ' attack on the U.S.
THE NEW WORLD ORDER VIEW STATES: "Not all Christians reach out to Islam" (see news article on Page 22 of this Newsletter) The Illuminati (Satan's kingdom on earth) prefers Islam as the new world order religion and would eliminate every other religious system, especially Judaism and Christianity. Why? Because the Islamic religious system is dominated by demonic powers, it is murderous and violent in the extreme. Hell's power can easily work through Islam and for centuries has done just that. That we are ignorant of the history of Islam (true versus fiction) does not change the facts; but again I make the distinction between the religion and the people. I take particular notice and exception to the whole bent of the news media (and government) in concerns to Islam. It was a band of Islamic fundamentalists that attacked the U.S. on September 11 `h (as they have been doing in many ways for very many years) murdering with religious fervor and delight thousands of our countrymen. Suddenly, WE, the injured party, are supposed to take Islamic sensitivity training, to learn about Islam, to reach out to Moslems and convey our appreciation for them?? Pardon me, but we are the injured party! Is it perhaps not more appropriate, even proper, that Moslems ought reach out to us ? ! ! Arafat, the terrorist, literally wrote the book on suicide bombing as a strategy, and Palestinian children (3 years of age and up) are literally trained, taught and raised with the view that the highest good they can achieve in their life is to strap explosives to their chest and go among Jews/Christians and blow-up themselves and as many others as they can to kingdom come! What stands out to me is that Moslems can embrace Islam in America and be free to express their religious beliefs; but go to any Moslem nation on earth and try and embrace Christianity under their dominion and see what prison or execution chamber you end up being a resident of It is strictly a one-way street and some of the Christian leaders recognize that (to their credit) and stated the facts - for which they are castigated by the news media.

Mel Tari and the Indonesian Revival of the 1960's One book that had a significant influence on me as a young Christian was the book written by Mel Tari (Like a Mighty Wind), a citizen of Indonesia, who was caught up in a mighty move and revival of the SPIRIT OF GOD among Christians in that nation in the 1960's. In one account Mel and his band of Christians were sent by JESUS to a Moslem town to witness to them about JESUS CHRIST and arrived to find that the much loved chieftain of that Islamic community (thousands of Moslems) had died of a heart attack in the jungle
three days before. His body lay on a funeral pyre. JESUS spoke to Mel asking him and the others with him to go and pray for the dead chieftain and in His Name to raise him from the dead. They were a little reluctant to get too close for two reasons, (1) the man was dead for three days and in that tropical climate the body was decomposed and smelled bad, (2) there is an old Indonesian story that if you get too close to the dead they can jump up and grab you, taking you with them. Nonetheless, they obeyed JESUS and got close to pray and command in JESUS' NAME that he be raised up and with that the dead chieftain sat up!!! (Mel and his group got a li tt le freaked out and quickly backed away thinking he wo uld grab them.)
The chieftain was alive, restored by the SPIRIT OF GOD and told the astounded Moslems of his community how after he died he found himself in hellfire and he could see that whenever Christians died they ascended to Heaven, whereas whenever Moslems died he could see them ALL falling into hellfire. He then said that he could hear Mel and his group praying for him and when they commanded he be raised from the dead in JESUS' Name, that JESUS appeared in hell and brought him back to life instructing him to tell his fellow Moslems what he had witnessed. As a result that whole Moslem community conve rt ed to Christianity and received JESUS CHRIST as their Lord and Savior. Although it has been many, many years since reading that account by Mel Tari, I have never forgotten it. The Church ought not be working to embrace Islam, instead they ought be bringing the Gospel message of salvation through JESUS CHRIST reaching out to them with both truth, love, and power in and out of prayer and looking to JESUS CHRIST. I have seen a transcript of President Bush's remarks* at the White House Iftaar** Dinner and understand what he is trying to do, but it is gross error on his part, it won't really work and the outcome in the long run will be much less than desired.
