Dearest Companions in tribulation,

I am still in “forced feeding” because I cannot take the food tray of New Mexico. I cannot receive and eat from the hand of dishonesty, prejudice and deception. I would take sustenance from your loving hands, but the prison forbids it. I miss you all greatly, but as the prophet John writes, “As members of Jesus’ royal family, we can put up with anything that happens to us.” Rev. 1:9 NIRV.

Over the months here in Los Lunas prison, I have had opportunity to speak and reason with some of the officials here. I spoke with a captain, a psychiatrist and others concerning my case. I was actually surprised at their apparent dishonesty. While these few folks understood and acknowledged the point that I was convicted for something that I did not actually do, they justified my imprisonment because I did “other things” that they did not approve of. It made no difference to them that I was not charged or convicted for “other things” or that the “other things” were not illegal. I wondered then if the jury convicted me using the same rationale. Did the jury ignore the evidence showing I had committed no crime, because they had heard I was “bad” in other areas? One of the jury questions to the judge, which had nothing to do with the charges against me, was “How many wives does he have?” This offense about “wives” is little talked about but it is still in the mind, and I am condemned because of it. Is this what I was actually convicted for?

No one seems to want to go to Isaiah 4:1 and understand it. I have found here in New Mexico many “nice” people who will not think or reason. Reason has been replaced by rules; justice replaced by policy. I have met some professed Christians, but no one can accept how God works. People seem to have a religion that is a worthless legality. But God will not accept “legal” Christians; He accepts only those who love His Voice.

God does things, and in the time of national judgment His ways are always offensive to the present order. God made me into a scandalon, but so has He made His forces of judgment in any generation. Isaiah 4:1 speaks of our own time. It says, “in that day.” “That day” is the “day of judgment,” “The Lord’s day,” or “The day of the Lord.” On each side of that verse are two groups listed. One group is God’s people and the other group His enemies. God is telling the reader that when he sees this sign he may know that judgment day has arrived. That sign given is, “…In that day seven women will take hold of one man.” They want to be married to him and take his name. This act points a finger at the generation that sees that sign. The seven women who took hold of me because God anointed them to do so are the fulfillment of that sign, and for very specific reasons.

According to the book of Daniel we are now in the Antitypical Day of Atonement — the 2300-day Day of Atonement that was foreshadowed by and identified with an earlier symbol or type — the one-day-a-year Day of Atonement that God commanded to be observed in ancient times. This 2300-day Day of Atonement is judgment day. This is “the big one” that the National Geographic movie of me got very wrong in regard to its implication. In ancient times, the end of the day of the yearly Day of Atonement marked the complete atonement of God’s people, and the beginning of the day of vengeance against those who were not atoned.

In his own time, Jesus was sacrificed as an atonement for the sins of the world. If a soul received the divine Life and Spirit of Jesus, God accepted him. Jesus’ own pure Life became the Spirit and standard for every believer who would be saved after that.

I have been sacrificed for judgment. I have been condemned by my generation as Jesus was condemned by his. God offends the society He is judging by His “strange acts,” which He carries out in the persons of His anointed. He does this purposefully so that the wicked, who live by self righteousness, will come against His anointed, proving that their spirit is not the Spirit of Christ. God’s own children, however, will not be offended in God’s anointed. They understand the “strange acts” because the anointing in them recognizes them as from God. This effectively separates the sheep from the goats. It shows those who are on the right hand or on the left.

Moses was truly an offense, even to many of his own people. He was instrumental in pouring out the plagues upon Egypt which finally killed all of their first born children. The Israelites killed animals and smeared the blood on their doors. The Egyptians took offense at treating animals this way. Then, after that, Moses killed Egypt’s sons and husbands in the Red Sea, bringing waves of additional sorrow upon their families. The very first official act of Moses after returning from the mountain where he received the law, was to mass murder 3000 of his own followers for bringing the calf worship into the congregation. The law he just received said, “Thou shalt not kill.” What would the state of New Mexico do with Moses? I think we all know. Moses would explain to the court that God told him to do what he did. As with pharaoh, New Mexico would say that they knew no such God. He would be condemned for mass murder and sentenced to life in prison, since the death penalty is no longer used here. New Mexico would stand firmly on the side of the Egyptians.

Here in New Mexico, as proved in my own condemnation, they do not care what God says to a soul. They swept aside my clear statements in favor of their own mental inventions. They invented me into something I was not, and then condemned me for their own imagination.

Elijah mass murdered about 400 priests of the queen’s religion. What if Elijah came to New Mexico and killed 400 priests of the governor’s religion? Elijah would get life in prison also. New Mexico would side strongly with Jezebel.

In regard to me, yes, God has used me to do “strange acts” to judge the people, but what are my strange acts? I did not kill a single soul. I did not go into a church and overturn tables as did Jesus. I did not have sexual contact with one underage person. No, I just permitted seven women to “take hold” of me as the Scriptures said. I was “intimate” with the seven so that this generation could see God’s sign for their judgment day and prepare themselves for it. God always exposes national hypocrisy before His wrath is unleashed. Jesus did this in Matthew 23.

Many souls have been offended in me because of the “seven women” whom God had take hold of one man. God instructed me, and He instructed the seven women, to carry out His prophetic marker. Yes, that is right. God literally forced each of us to carry out His omen of judgment.

But why would God use seven women? Even the simplest minds can understand this. Only a fool would miss it. God has used signs and symbols all through the Bible. He recorded spiritual parables to reveal truths necessary for salvation. As in Revelation 12, a woman represents God’s church. She is the bride of Christ, the bride or church of the anointing. The number “seven” represents the whole. So, seven women would be used to show the entire church of Christ who is married to the Son of God.

The apostle John writes that he was in the spirit on “the Lord’s day.” He was seeing the “day of the Lord” — a vision of “in that day.” Rev. 1:10. He sees a group of symbols. He sees seven stars in the right hand of Christ. The prophet also sees seven candlesticks. The candlesticks are the seven churches, representing the whole of believers. The seven stars are the messengers to those churches. Christ rebuked some of the churches for straying. The Seven who laid hold of me appeared at the time of judgment, in “the day of the Lord.” So the seven women are used by God as signs and living parables representing the whole church of Christ. God used me as a symbol, parable or “sign” of the son of man. John states that the son of man he saw in vision had a sword coming out of his mouth. He is the same man who rides on a white horse in Revelation 19 who has a sword in his mouth. It is the sword of judgment, and this sword offends many people. God made me the “sign” of the son of man. He anointed me for this work of God. This does not make me better than anyone. I am simply a fellow servant with all the saints. The Spirit of Jesus Christ came into me and gave me a job which I am now carrying out. Yes, I offend the proud and self righteous who say, “Who does he think he is, anyway?” Well, I think I am nothing. I am the least of all the saints, “chief of sinners.” But God is pure and righteous and He leads this vessel in the way that he should go. I do what He tells me.

So, what do the “seven women” represent in spirit, in their connection with me? And what are they being used for? When God anointed the Seven for their work, before they took hold of “one man,” He made them leave their old worlds behind. Some had been married, until God came down on them. Others had hopes for an earthly life. But God forced them and constrained them to follow His will. I also was constrained in the same way. This was to show how every person in Christ’s entire church body is married only to God. No woman in Christ’s body is ruled over by an earthly husband, and no man in Christ is ruled over by an earthly woman or another human. No parent rules over the conscience of their child. No human rules over the conscience of any other human. I was put in prison because I would not rule over the consciences of two “underage” girls, but I respected God’s Voice to them. No professed believer will go to heaven married to the earth, ignoring God’s Voice.

But there is more to God’s judgment in these seven women. The seven women were also used to expose national hypocrisy. This nation’s presidents were ignored in this mystery. President Kennedy had far more than seven women. Would the people offended in me be offended in President Kennedy? President Clinton also had a nice group of “ladies,” some even accusing him of rape. We all know he had a little “visit” with his intern sometimes. But what did the nation do? Nothing! They didn’t give these presidents life in prison for this. They did not go to prison for even one day. I know personally, persons whose moral behavior is exceptionally low, yet their hatred of me is expressed publicly and openly because they see me as immoral as themselves. They believe my motives are like theirs. I know a man who had sex with his two little girls. He came to my trial to watch me be condemned for not having sex with any little girls as he had. But offended souls do not reason out their own evils. This man condemned me for what he did and not for what I did, for I did not do his evil acts.

So, the Father in heaven wisely says, “I will prove their own hypocrisy. I will hold symbols of their own evils right up in front of their own eyes and let them judge themselves. How they judge My actions, in the person of My anointed, is how I will judge them.”

Do you remember the prophet Hosea and how he was commanded to marry a whore? He did this so Israel would see its own spiritual adultery. But marrying a whore was against God’s law. Hosea was commanded to go against God’s law so that God’s parable might be revealed to them.

Yes, God does things. No one protests when they look into ancient history and accept certain events without offense, because they believe God was in those events. Their protests come from their judgment that God’s anointed are not from God, and this is what brings down God’s wrath upon them. This is why they crucified Jesus. They did not believe that he was from God, because they reasoned that no true Messiah would allow himself to be crucified on a pagan cross. It was unthinkable to them. Concerning myself they say, “No one from God would have seven women,” even if God did say that that is what He was going to do. In every generation there were those in the majority who said that God would not do what His servants were doing at the time. Yes, God does things.

I have clearly stated that God anointed me for the work of judgment. God has never called me a liar for declaring that. He stays close to me still, every day sending His songs and comforts to me in my dungeon home. He takes care of His Christ Child in me. His Spirit floods me with His strong arms, holding His “little guy” up above the commotion. God has sent me.

The Father in heaven told Jesus, “You are my beloved Son, this day I have begotten you.” He anointed Jesus that day, which was when he was about 27 years old, at his baptism. It was after that anointing that he began his “messianic” ministry. He wasn’t “Messiah” before that. I was anointed much later in life, but at my conversion in 1967 the Father told me, “You will always tell the truth.” Then in 2000 God anointed me for my present work, calling me His “Messiah.” Yes, “Messiah” is precisely the word God used.

Many people get very offended when I say that God called me His “Messiah.” But they prove again their own hypocrisy. “Messiah” has no hidden meaning of self-proclaimed righteousness. A messiah need not even be a holy man. King Cyrus was called a messiah by God in the book of Isaiah. And, it is exactly the same word that is used to refer to Jesus Christ. But to show men their own hypocrisy in accusing me, I will accuse them. Men today openly and commonly blaspheme God by using names for themselves that belong only to God. “Messiah” is not one of those names. But vain men today permit and even require people to call them “Holy Father,” “Reverend,” “Your Honor,” or “Your Holiness.” This blasphemy is accepted, while the same people come “unglued” because I said that God called me His Messiah, which infers no holiness claim. If I required my church members to refer to me as “Your Holiness,” would not the public have a right to be offended, because no vain man is holy? Yet, they will use this name to refer to some of their own church leaders. What hypocrisy! Titles such as “Your Holiness” infer that the bearer is claiming the right to be called holy.

Jesus said, “There is only one good, and that is God.” “Call no man Father.” Men are not good. None of them are. Not one of us is. This is why we must receive the Spirit of Jesus Christ into ourselves. I am not a good man. I am evil, just as Jesus called his listeners evil. He didn’t excluded himself, either. “Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? There is no one good but one, that is, God.” Mark 10:18. So, as did Jesus, I follow and obey One Who is holy, and that is my Father. He is good and righteous, and I can trust my actions if they are commanded me by the One Who is good.

So, the Father has exposed the gross hypocrisy of this generation in its condemnation of me. It is ripe for destruction. I wrote before my trial that I thought that I might be convicted for a crime I did not commit because I knew we were in the time of God’s judgment. The court convicted and sentenced itself, representing all men, as I said they would. If the court had ruled “not guilty,” then God would have forgiven them. I felt then that this was not to be, for mankind has loved evil. God now declares men “guilty,” just as He did Jerusalem before its destruction by fire. They found His son “guilty,” and so God allowed them to judge themselves guilty.

This all brings us back to the Antitypical Day of Atonement that I referred to earlier in this writing. The Day of Atonement in the Jewish economy had some very specific implications. That “type” or “the shadow” was a picture of “the substance” of the end of the world. Some of the people would be atoned to God, while others would be reserved for the day of God’s wrath, “the day of vengeance.” “He hath sent me…to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [Day of Atonement], and the day of vengeance of our God.” Isaiah 61. We now live in the time of this blessing — or this omen of doom, depending on how we approach and judge God’s holy things. My imprisonment was a clear marker of doom for the natural world. Condemning the innocent has always marked a society for destruction.

As you know, Daniel 8, 9, and 12 clearly define the times and seasons of this day of judgment. This Antitypical Day of Atonement is a “day” (period or time) which spans 2300 days. It began on April 19, 2004 and it will end August 6, 2010. In the 70 weeks of years of Daniel 9, in the midst of the 70th week the “sacrifice and oblation” ceased. That was the taking away of the “daily.” In the Jewish feasts, the end of the “daily” marked the Day of Atonement. The 70 weeks of years in this generation, as God clearly instructed me, began on October 31, 1517. That was when Martin Luther posted his protest against apostasy. The last week of years, or the 70th week, began in 2000 when I was anointed.

Often God uses earthly symbols and markers to make His point. As you know, the beginning and ending dates of this current 2300-day Day of Atonement are strikingly marked in history by fiery conflagrations. April 19, the beginning date, is the anniversary of the immolation of the Branch Davidians near Waco, Texas. The United States government came against that church with tanks and gas, finally killing dads, moms and kids in one fiery holocaust. Janet Reno said that they did it “for the children.” August 6, the last day of this 2300-day Day of Atonement, is marked by another fiery holocaust; it is the anniversary of the nuclear cremation of Hiroshima. A nuclear lake of fire destroyed the beast (state) and “false prophets” of that country. These two dates mark both ends of the era of atonement, with bombs and fire at both ends. It is noteworthy that the United States was the originator of both conflagrations that mark this era of atonement.

This present 2300-day “Day” of Atonement is pointing to the “day of revenge” which comes at its close. The day of vengeance for the Branch Davidian massacre came two years later, on April 19th, with the Oklahoma City Bombing. Is there going to be a day of vengeance upon the United States for the Hiroshima bombing on August 6th? Will Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the Branch Davidians all soon be avenged? Yes, they will be avenged. “Vengeance is mine,” says the Lord, and it will happen “in that day.”

Will God’s wrath begin at the end of the 2300 days? Will August 6th be the beginning of destruction “day”? I cannot say, for God has not revealed that to me personally. In history, doomsday was often marked by a hesitation, as with Noah’s flood. It is prophesied that the High Priest tarries just a bit before leaving the sanctuary and bringing vengeance. Jerusalem was destroyed some years after its crucifixion of Christ. But August 6th will mark the beginning of the “day” (time) of God’s wrath and vengeance. Just how that will open up is not specified. Just how long that “day” of vengeance is, is not revealed in the prophecy. But God’s people are removed before the “final fire” that destroys this present earthly existence altogether.

Paul writes that we will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, “in the last trump.” This era of atonement and judgment is the time of the “last trump” — the last announcement of God. God’s “krima” will bring in God’s “krisis.” The Day of Atonement is “krima.” After that is “krisis.” I have been sent to speak the truth, and men hate me for it, even putting me in prison for it. They think I am trying to make something of myself, as they would. But I am not trying to do anything. I just speak and write what God tells me. I just do what He tells me to do, as did Jesus. What could be wrong with that? I just love God, His truth, and I love hearing it, too. But the earth has judged us as undesirable, even putting some of us in prison.

It was the same in Noah’s day. “As it was in the days of Noah….” Noah could not assimilate into the society of his own day. It was too evil. All Noah did was preach the end of the world, and prepare his little family to leave it. When they entered the ark, doomsday had come and the door was shut. Nothing happened for seven days. His doomsday predictions seemed like a gigantic fantasy to the revelers and mockers. That is, until the first drops began to fall on them. That generation ended in a flood, while ours will end in a fire. 2 Peter chapter 3 says, “…the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished; but the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men… but ‘the day of the Lord’ will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burnt up.” Is not Hiroshima day a fitting symbol for the time of vengeance over all the earth?

Precious little family, there is no place for us. Sarah, my trial attorney, played Barbra Streisand’s song at the trial during closing arguments asking if there was a place for us “Somewhere.” The jury in Taos voted that our place was in prison. The jury ruled that we had no right to do what God commanded us. They made me a criminal for obeying God, even when no state law was broken. I am accused of breaking God’s laws, but are not His laws spoken from His mouth? When He commands us, is that not God’s law to us? It is my accuser who has not obeyed God’s laws.

Jesus was drawn away to heaven when he ascended, as we are now. We came with light but they called it darkness. They said Jesus had a devil and so they have charged me. They have accused God by accusing me. “As you have done it to the least of these my brethren, YOU HAVE DONE IT TO ME.”

God is even now taking records of those whose hearts turned to Him in this judgment, and those whose hearts are marked with the mark of the beast. Our generation is judging God in its judgment of me. We have proven that the world has given us no place here. So our hearts are turned to the next world, wherein lies justice, truth, and the ever present Voice of God to our souls. His Voice is the law of God to us.

The earth is run by the spirit of jealousy, pride, selfishness and merchandise. But very soon, and in God’s perfect time at “the end of the days,” all the issues will be decided. Our present sorrow will be turned to joy, and the mouths of the mockers will be stopped. We will behold the vindication of our faith and hope. We will see by sight that all God’s workings were just and true. The world has answered our questions in regard to its meaning and motivation. We have come to understand the basis for its rule. Soon we will be gone from it, for the Spirit will catch us away, just as it did Jesus. The religion of his day rejected him, as the religion of this day rejected me.

The love in me for you is eternal. It belongs to my Father. The day will soon come when we will be together again.

Much love,
Michael
