When I first sat down to watch "The End of the World Cult" movie, I was in complete shock and disbelief for the first few minutes. I felt like I was watching a horror movie about someone else. One doesn't realize what a powerfully suggestive medium the motion picture is, with its intense music and emotional affect, until they see a movie about themselves. When I saw Ami's little cult movie, I thought "Yes, that's what I tried to tell Ben." Here it is. What a difference a little sweet music makes. :)

When Ben interviewed me in our meeting place, he had asked me to read what the Father had given me three days before. It revolved around the meaning of the word, “Consummation.” The “Consummation” has to do with the Kings of the East. They appear in the seventh and last plague of glorious exposure. The “Kings of the East” come after the support (river) of Babylon is dried up, as it is now. They have two ways in which they are revealed. One is in the earthly form of the present day eastern rulers, or in those with power such as with those who killed Benazir Bhutto, but the primary spiritual application is with the people of God. The people of God take their stand against Babylon, and this is the appearing of the Kings of the East, the Kings from the rising sun — the Kings in whom the Sun of Righteousness has risen. This is now what is taking place, even on this Website. The Kings of the East have stood up. They diverted the river that supports Babylon, and now the city will fall. With this appearing, however, there also comes the flood of insanity, extremism, fanaticism and outright demon possession. It is not a happy time for those who have refused my Spirit, and it even saddens me to see how the world falls on itself. The earth would rather curse God and die, than yield to Him.
As you may recall, King Cyrus and Darius, were the kings of the east who diverted the river that protected ancient Babylon. Babylon was then taken and given to the Medes and the Persians. Cyrus was a type of Christ. The kingdom of Babylon was destroyed and given to another power. In our day, we are in the time of the Kings of the East. It is midnight, the darkest hour.
The following is from that interview which seemed to mirror “the handwriting on the wall”:
Michael: What God gave me has to do with the consummation of everything that is in heaven and earth. And the word “consummation” means “a complete annihilation.” The night of May 13th, I was awakened with a strong instruction from the Father, very similar to what happened the day before the Twin Towers were destroyed, when the Father gave me what ended up being a prophecy of their destruction the next day. This present instruction was similar to that. It deals with the Consummation, and two nights in a row God gave me these words, and so I wrote them down. And so this is a good foundation for the discussion for what happened here in the land with the Consummation. This was at 1:30 in the morning when I was awakened with this:

In the following interview, Ben Anthony delves into the significant issues surrounding the Consummation of the Marriage of the Lamb. This interview with Michael took place on May 17—about the time the Two Witnesses were interviewed for the second time (those interviewes were posted yesterday).
Michael begins this session with a statement detailing the sequence of events that brought about the literal physical Consummation between himself and the Two Witnesses in 2000, and why God brought it to pass. As the astute will observe from this interview, the Consummation was not about "having sex" as suggested in the movie, but about following God's instructions and allowing God to fulfill His purposes, regardless of the personal cost. Michael explains how the Consummation was designed by the Father in heaven to bring about the complete desolation of our own past existence in the world, and to expose and judge the greatest idol in the world today—what people worship the most—and that is sex. Following Michael's explanation, Ben asks Michael questions about the Consummation and its ramifications.

This is the second interview between Ben Anthony and Anaiah, one of the Two Witnesses. Michael and Ami were also present and contributed at various points to the discussion. Anaiah refers here to "Faithful," the "new name" Michael had at the time he was anointed Messiah.

Ben: Why don't we talk initially about Michael. Tell me what Michael means to you.
Anaiah: Michael means everything to me. For several weeks before Messiah appeared in the land, the song was going through me, "Give me Jesus, give me Jesus, You may have all the world, but give me Jesus." It was just pouring out of my heart to Father, and I was strongly desiring for more of the Son of God. And then Messiah appeared in the land.

The following is an interview between Ben Anthony and Ami, one of the Two Witnesses, the first day that Ben interviewed Michael and the Two Witnesses. Ami describes her experience of being drawn to Messiah when he appeared in the land, and the resulting end of her old life and earthly relationships. She also relates how her family was affected by her leaving, and how their world was overturned by it. At Ami’s request, Michael contributed to the discussion at a couple of points.

Ben Anthony was told that Ami and Anaiah would have significant things to share, and that Anaiah in particular would be able to provide many details from memory of all of the events, and the reasons of their significance. The following short clip demonstrates one such occasion when Michael encouraged Ben to interview Anaiah because of her large recollection of all of the events:

On December 15, 3½ days after the film was broadcast, Michael Travesser posted the following comment on an Internet forum:
Hours of testimony by the Two Witnesses was entirely excluded. It sounded too normal. It made sense out of too many things, and Ben did not want reasonableness, he wanted a monster movie.
To the church, the absence of one solitary word from either of the Witnesses spoke very loudly. In this interview Anaiah shares with Ben Anthony what she witnessed when Messiah appeared, and the changes she felt within herself and her family at that time. The following is a transcript of the interview:

In the documentary End of the World Cult, brief mention was made of the two women who are Witnesses of the Coming of Messiah. Some people felt these women were depicted as strange, speechless, automaton-type companions of Michael. Curiously, Ben Anthony spent a lot of time with these two women while he was at Strong City, and they shared with him the details of their experience and calling. To help fill in the void the movie left on the subject of these Witnesses, and the broader theme of the dissolution of earthly marriages, I will be posting three transcripts and audio recordings today from their interviews. We will begin with the interview on May 3rd where Ben asks Michael about the significance of his relationship with the Two Witnesses.

In a voice-over in the film, Ben Anthony refers to the "momentous day the Spirit of Michael came into Wayne Bent." It was truly momentous, but not in a way that Ben would appreciate. Michael is briefly shown describing what happened when he received the Anointing of Messiah in July of 2000. He was allowed to speak for a few seconds before the camera cut away to unnatural shots of the Two Witnesses, and references to illicit sex. The following transcript and audio recording is from that interview, and will help provide an unfiltered context for someone interested in what really happened on that day. One can easily see that Michael wasn't speaking of something exclusively for himself, but of a change that portends the deliverance for all of God's people. I witnessed the change occur in my father in July of that year, and I testify that the things he describes here are true.
The following is the transcript from the interview:

I made a habit of recording Ben Anthony’s interviews with Michael simply because the people here could not all be present, and many of them wanted to hear Ben’s questions and Michael’s answers to them. Some of these recordings reveal a different picture than what was portrayed by the film, and it seems appropriate to share them at this time.
The following audio clips and transcripts were from the final interview with Michael and the young people out on the swing on October 29th, when Ben began pressing for a prediction of what would happen on the 31st of October. As those who watched the film are aware, it was presented that we were expecting the “apocalypse” and the end of the world at midnight on that day. These recordings reveal a different story.
