I. HISTORY
1. GOD OFTEN LIKES TO TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE, help you appreciate what you are, even before He's going to let you know what you're going to do. He did this with most of His Prophets and Kings and great men of the Bible, even some of the secular kings like Cyrus, whom He named hundreds of years before he was born, and said what he was going to do! It may shock some of you, but I'm going to tell you a little story, and I might go back in history a little to help you understand. (1)
2. AT THE AGE OF 27 MY MOTHER'S BACK WAS BROKEN and she was almost totally paralysed in a terrible accident which nearly killed her and left her on a deathbed of agony for five years, a total invalid. Despite the fact that her wealthy father, before he lost his riches, spent a fortune on her case, calling in specialist after specialist, such as Drs. Still and Mayo, they all agreed her condition was hopeless and she would soon die.
3. BUT MY FATHER NEVER GAVE UP HOPE, CONTINUING TO PRAY in simple, childlike faith that God could still answer prayer and still do miracles, until one day my poor atheistic mother cried out in the midst of her horrible suffering. "O God, if there is a God, please help me!"
4. AT 8:00 ON THAT SATURDAY NIGHT SHE WAS INSTANTLY RAISED BY THE HAND OF GOD from that deathbed of total and hopeless invalidism to walk the floor for the first time in five years--a human impossibility, even if there had been nothing wrong with her!
5. THIS SPECTACULAR EVENT STARTED A REVIVAL OF FAITH throughout the churches of northern California,(2) and God gave my parents a mighty ministry in which tens of thousands were saved and healed and helped, and hundreds went into fulltime ministry for the Lord, many to mission fields abroad, and their influence still carries on in me and my children, and you my spiritual children.(3) Their fulltime evangelistic work continued for most of their lives until my father passed away at the age of nearly 83 in 1966, and my mother at the age of 82 in 1968, both in California, where their bodies are buried side by side on a green hill overlooking the sea, awaiting the Resurrection.
6. ALTHOUGH THE DOCTORS HAD SAID MY MOTHER COULD NEVER HAVE ANOTHER CHILD, I was born naturally and healthily at an amazing weight of eleven pounds, at home in a humble little cottage in the poor Melrose section of Oakland, California, on February 18, 1919, one of the last of the Aquarians.
7. FROM BIRTH I TRAVELLED IN PASTORAL AND EVANGELISTIC WORK WITH MY PARENTS throughout the United States and Canada, even during my school years, attending as many as nine different schools in one school year!
8. DURING MY EARLY YEARS I WAS FRAIL, SHY, AND VERY RETICENT, a veritable bookworm and a recluse who preferred to retreat to the world of study of other times and other places, rather than participate in the foolishness and horrors of the hard, cruel world around me. I loved to be alone and wander alone over the hills and through the woods and climb mountains to observe and study for hours and days on end the beauties and wonders of God's creation, and to listen to His still, small Voice explaining these things.
9. AS A RESULT, I WAS CONSIDERED A LITTLE ODD AND A LONER AT SCHOOL, who preferred the loner's sports such as hiking and swimming in which I excelled, as well as top grades in all my studies. I finally graduated with the highest scholastic record in the 80 year history of Monterey Union High School in California, and honored by the California Scholastic Federation with offers of scholarships at several outstanding colleges and universities.
10. I MIGHT HAVE GONE ON TO SOME SUCCESS IN THE FIELDS OF HIGHER EDUCATION, but my first love was still the Lord, and I desired to serve Him and others with all my heart in whatever capacity He thought me best suited, or for which He was fitting me. So by the time I graduated from high school, my parents had returned to California and I decided to join them, serving the Lord instead of continuing my education. (4)
11. THIS WAS INTERRUPTED, THOUGH, A FEW DAYS AFTER THE BOMBING OF PEARL HARBOR, when I was drafted into the army. However, since I didn't believe in killing my fellowman, I served as a conscientious objector with the U.S. Army Engineers, Headquarters Battalion, at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia until my complete Disability Discharge because of heart trouble.
12. THE ARMY NOTIFIED MY PARENTS THAT I WAS DYING of double pneumonia with a temperature of 106 degrees, and they feared my already enlarged and leaky heart, twice normal size and weakened by the strain, would collapse. I was unconscious for three days, but when I finally promised God I would try to serve Him faithfully for the rest of my life if He would save me, I was instantly healed in answer to prayer, to the amazement of all my doctors and nurses. (5)
13. WHEN SENDING ME HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL THEY TOLD MY MOTHER MY HEART WAS SO BAD the she must keep me in bed, and that I couldn't live more than a year. But I had promised God I would serve Him, so I told Him He'd have to take care of me if He wanted my service.
14. SO I REFUSED TO STAY IN BED, but instead launched back into fulltime evangelistic work, and I got better instead of worse. I felt so good, in fact, that I got married in 1944 and had four children, and have survived for over 30 years until the present day, despite many heart attacks.
15. IN FACT, IN 1949, IN THE BLISTERING HEAT OF THE DESERT SUMMER at Valley Farms, Arizona, I built a little adobe mission church almost single-handedly, where I pastored for over 2 years. However, my congregation didn't much like each other, and eventually the whites didn't like me because of my integration policies and radical preaching that they should share more of their wealth with the poor, beginning with my little family whom they failed to support!
16. ALTHOUGH I HAD BUILT THEIR CHURCH BUILDING WITH MY OWN HANDS and raised most of the money for its materials and our own support from outside friends, the denominational hierarchy controlled the property, and a few wealthy enemies who didn't like my preaching and my refusal to plaster that beautiful adobe, controlled the Board and soon had me thrown out with my little family of an expectant mother and three children--penniless, with no job and no home!
17. BY THIS TIME I WAS ALREADY CONVINCED OF THE INEFFECTIVENESS AND UNSCRIPTURALNESS OF THE CHURCH SYSTEM and its corrupt politics I had witnessed as a young pastor, together with the overwhelming hypocrisy of its leaders and members! This final act of cruel injustice and ingratitude and their unconcern for the welfare of one of their own little pastors and his tiny, young family made me so furious, embittered and sick of the whole hypocritical church system that I nearly became a Communist!
18. I RETURNED TO COLLEGE ON THE GI BILL, determined to study philosophy, psychology, and political science rather than religion, and became seriously involved in the study of Socialism and Communism. However, I soon saw that the purportedly unselfish goals of these political systems could never be achieved without the love of God in the hearts of men, as in the pure Christian communism of the Early Church, effected only by the power of the Spirit of God. (6)
19. SO AFTER SEVERAL YEARS IN SEVERAL COLLEGES AND HAVING SUFFERED MANY THINGS of many denominations, I finally ended up teaching school for three years, about the only kind of job open for the talents and education and idealism of an unemployed preacher! But during those days I learned what today's youth was all about and how to handle its many problems. And I loved them and became determined to save tomorrow's youth from their terrible fate as innocent victims of a fiendish anti-God social, economic, educational, and religious system.
20. OF COURSE, IT TOOK US A FEW YEARS TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT AND HOW TO OPERATE OUR TINY LITTLE HOME-SCHOOLS of not more than a dozen or two students at a time, and how to make it really work. And during those years of trial and error, some of us had to work for a living to pay the bills and the rent and buy the food so we all could enjoy the benefits of a socialized existence: "From each according to his ability, and unto each according to his need." I had most of the ability, and it seemed they had most of the need, so I was truly blessed, as it's "more blessed to give than to receive"! And I'm not sorry!
21. DURING THOSE YEARS, WE HAD TAKEN THREE MONTHS OFF TO TAKE THE WORLD-FAMOUS SOUL CLINIC PERSONAL WITNESSING COURSE under its founder Fred Jordan, and we owe much to him and his modern interpretation and application of the principles of the New Testament, as well as their insistence that the New Testament Church could live again like the Acts of the Apostles if the Commandments of Christ were truly obeyed.
22. HOWEVER, WE ALSO LEARNED FROM THEIR MISTAKES. Except for his personal TV show, which I booked on over 300 TV stations and over 1,100 radio stations for about 13 years, Fred's great Soul Clinic work did not last, except in the hearts and lives of those he had trained, like me. Although he had challenged the church system by his message and methods of personal evangelism and New Testament living, he never really broke with obsolete Churchianity, but merely tried to reform it! (7)
23. IN THE SUMMER OF 1966, AFTER MY WORK OF PUTTING GOSPEL TV ACROSS THE NATION WAS FINISHED, and about a year before we last parted from Fred's employ, we could see how he was trying to figure some way to dump us at his wife's behest.(8) This would have meant that I'd be out of a job, and almost broke at nearly fifty years of age. Seemingly frustrated and defeated, we were wondering what to do for the Lord, and we just decided to start out like we had in the beginning with our little family, now teenagers, and start preaching the Gospel on the road again. (9)
24. SO WITH OUR FIRST LITTLE TEAM OF SIX, INCLUDING JOSH, WHO JOINED US THAT SUMMER(10), WE STRUCK OUT BY FAITH on the road full time, serving the Lord. In '67 Grandmother joined the team and through her God began to teach us not to move without orders, and to hear explicitly the very Voice of God, and do exactly what He said to do.(11) And that's why we finally went to southern California just before Christmas, 1967--going on a shred of a clause of a prophecy: "Thou shalt go out to the Land of the Setting Sun, and there it shall be told thee what thou shalt do!" (12)
25. FOR TWO YEARS WE HAD MINISTERED TO YOUTH ACROSS THE NATION at Expo '67, New York, Florida, and even the West Indies. We had been used to going to churches at night to tell of our ministry to try to get them out and do the same, and also to get their support. But in California we hit our all-time low and we could get almost no meetings, so were virtually flat broke. We were so blue and discouraged we were about to give up and quit California and go back East where we had been better received. (13)
26. HOWEVER, IT WAS THERE, IN JANUARY, 1968, WHILE DURING A PRAYER MEETING in Grandmother's cottage to inform her that we were going to go back East, that we received the prophecy of Psalm 68, in which God promised us an almost unbelievably fruitful ministry: "... Thou, O God, has prepared of thy goodness for the poor! The Lord gave the Word: Great was the company of those that published it. Kings of armies did flee apace", etc.
27. SURELY THIS IS NOW BEING FULFILLED in our thousands of disciples in hundreds of colonies in many countries around the globe, as well as the tremendous publicity we have received from many great publishing companies, such as newspapers, magazines, books, radio, TV, etc.(14) Still, it was not until later that year of 1968 that we discovered exactly what God wanted us to do.
28. MY MOTHER HAD BEGGED US TO COME HELP THE POOR HIPPIES OF HUNTINGTON BEACH, saying that the church people didn't know how to handle them, even though some of them were trying at a small Teen Challenge coffee house in the heart of this surfing capital of the world. Teen Challenge, who were not having much success with the hippies with only two church-like meetings a week, soon turned the Club over to us, who were packing the hippies in to capacity the other five nights of the week. (15)
29. I'LL NEVER FORGET THE FIRST TIME I WALKED INTO THE CLUB and lay down on the floor with you in my broken sandals, ragged old jacket, lengthening hair and graying beard, and one of you lying next to me spoke up with the cheery greeting of welcome. "Hi Dad! What's your trip?"
30. YOU SOON FOUND OUT WHAT MY TRIP WAS! FOR AS I HAD WALKED AND TALKED WITH YOU GOD HAD BROKEN MY HEART FOR YOU and I had wept for you for the Lord had spoken to me, "They wander about as sheep having no Shepherd, and they need you to be that Shepherd! They are rebels without a cause, Revolutionists without a leader, despised, rejected, and abused, and with no comforter or advocate nor any to bring them together. I can make you that one if you follow Me!" (Tongues and weeping: "Behold, how I did break the heart of David and cause his tears to flow for thee, My little lambs!") I said, "Lord, I'll follow, show me the way!" He did, and it led straight into your hearts and you took me in. Hallelujah! (16)
31. THEN IT BEGAN--THE REVOLUTION FOR JESUS!--Which the whole world has recognized now as the Jesus Revolution! For it was here that we declared war on the Church, Educational and Commercial Systems, with sit-ins, demonstrations, marches, picketing, beach baptisms, Revolutionary shouts and real, red-hot, subversive, radical Bible teaching, and it really turned the kids on! (17)
32. IT HAD TAKEN ME 49 YEARS (GOD'S NUMBER SEVEN TIMES SEVEN!) TO FIND MY LIFE'S WORK! And there we found it among the poorest of the poor--the poor hippies of Huntington Beach! And nothing's been able to stop it since! (18)
II. SPIRITUAL MINISTRY--As foretold through others and personal revelations.
33. SOME HAVE SAID THAT OUR MINISTRY WOULD BE A FULFILLMENT OF THE PREDICTIONS OF Deuteronomy 18:15-18; Psalm 68; Psalm 89; Psalm 132; Isaiah 55; Jeremiah 1, 30, 33; Ezekiel 2, 3, 34 and 37; Daniel 9 and 10; Hosea 3; Zechariah 8 and Revelation 3:7-13. Some of these prophecies were pronounced over me identically, word for word, by different prophets in different places at different times who did not even know me or my name. Many of these are already being fulfilled. (19)
34. (The following shows the chronological order and manner in which Moses received many of these prophecies and revelations.)
35. MY MOTHER HAD DEDICATED ME TO THE LORD BEFORE I WAS BORN AND SHE PRAYED FOR A NAME and the name the Lord gave her for me was the name that some of you know--DAVID.
36. IT WAS ALSO PROPHESIED MANY YEARS AGO THAT I WAS FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST FROM MY MOTHER'S WOMB (20)--even as John! However, this does not make us or anyone else but Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived of the Holy Spirit. I merely got a head start on you because of the work God had created me to do! (21)
37. IN THE LATE 1940s WE HAD THREE TIMES RECEIVED THE PROPHECY OF THE KEY OF DAVID, Revelation 3:7-13,(22) each time by someone who never had seen me before and did not even know me. So I knew that it was God speaking and that somehow this passage was peculiarly for me personally, and that it was to be fulfilled in my own life in some way. (23)
38. Rev.3:7-13: "AND TO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA WRITE; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews (the false church) and are not, but do lie; behold. I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: Hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, ... and I will write upon him my new name. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." (Interpretation and application explained in "Key of David" 78:36-38.)
39. IN 1952, I RECEIVED THE CALL OF EZEKIEL, which definitely confirmed my ministry against the churches, their failures and hypocrisy. (24)
40. I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT NIGHT AS I STOOD THERE IN THE DARKNESS telling God I'd done what He'd asked me (which was to drop out of the System)--now what did He want me to do! And suddenly He drew my attention upward toward a blinking red light atop a tall radio antenna, saying, "I want you to be like that red light atop My Broadcasting Antenna, beaming My Warning Message to the world!"
41. AND I CLIMBED IN MY LITTLE TRAILER WHERE THE SIX OF US LIVED in a tiny room just 14 x 7 feet and asked God in prayer what He meant, and He told me to open my Bible and read the first passage my eyes fell upon and it was the CALL OF EZEKIEL in Ezekiel Chapter 2.
42. AND THE LORD TOLD ME THIS WAS TO BE MY MESSAGE ALSO--our message against the so-called Christians and churches of today, praise the Lord! Read it! "I send you to the children of Israel"--the people of God, those who were supposed to be His Church, God's Israel of Yesterday, the old bottles--they and their fathers, impudent and hardhearted and rebellious against the Lord!
43. WHETHER THEY WILL NOW LISTEN OR NOT, SOME DAY THEY'LL REMEMBER THAT WE WARNED THEM OF THEIR FATE! We're not to be afraid of them, even if they're like thorns and scorpions that prick and sting us and persecute us, as they did Ezekiel! But don't you be rebellious like them! You obey the Lord and tell 'em the truth, even if it hurts! (25)
44. THE MESSAGE OF JEREMIAH WAS REVEALED TO US IN DECEMBER of 1961 when I was very ill, and God said this was to be our Message from now on--the Doomsday, End-Time Warning Message. (26)
45. THIS MESSAGE IS GOD'S FINAL WARNING TO A DOOMED NATION (AMERICA) and His pattern of action for His Prophets during such a time as its fall.(27) "I will bring a mighty, an ancient nation upon you from afar, a great destruction, cities laid waste, because you have forsaken Me, refused correction and worshipped the works of you own hands!" (Jer.4:6,7; 5:3,15) (28)
46. "Take away your battlements for they are not the Lord's. I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands and I myself will fight against you! Ye shall be removed into all kingdoms of the earth into the hands of thine enemy. Behold! I proclaim a liberty for you: to the sword and pestilence!" (Jer.5:10; 21:4,5; 34:17)
47. IN 1966, ON ANOTHER VISIT TO THE RANCH, MY MOTHER PROPHESIED THAT I HAD RECEIVED THE UNDERSTANDING OF DANIEL "to know the number of the years unto the End of Desolations," which was fulfilled in "The 70 Years Prophecy" which we received in 1970, describing the exact number of years with their dates and events between now and the Coming of Christ. (29)
48. JESUS NEVER SAID WE COULD NOT KNOW THE YEAR OR EVEN THE MONTH OR THE WEEK OF HIS COMING! He only said we don't know the day and hour of His coming. At least, no man knew then according to the tense of the verb that He used. Praise the Lord! You can read all about these revelations in "Times of the Gentiles" and "70 Years Prophecy." Letters number 146 and 156.
49. IN 1967, WE RECEIVED A CONFIRMATION OF OUR CHARGE TO THE WORK OF DAVID through a precious prophetess, Sister Gunn.(30) This dear sister was so excited, she said, "Brother David, Brother David, God gave this to me and said I must come out and tell you about it right away quick--that it's about you!" And she was so convinced it was of God and to be fulfilled in us that she'd driven her car a 3,000 mile round trip to tell us! And guess what it was: EZEKIEL 34! "And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd." (Ezk.34:23) (31)
50. IN 1969 WE WERE FIRST CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD by a local newsman in Camden, New Jersey. I was first called MOSES in some prophecies of the young people at Laurentide, Canada and the two names have since stuck with us, and we became known as "Moses and the Children of God." (32)
III. Bible predictions fulfilled in Moses David.
51. Scriptures to show that Moses David is the "Prophet" and the "David" that the Bible prophets foretold. (All statements in quotes that are not otherwise noted are by Moses David).
(A) THE "PROPHET" PROPHECY FULFILLED IN MOSES DAVID.
52. 3,5000 YEARS AGO THE LORD SAID THROUGH MOSES, "I WILL RAISE THEM UP A PROPHET from among their brethren, like unto thee, and put My Words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I command him." (Deu.18:15,18) Peter said that this prophecy was fulfilled in Jesus (Ac.3:22-26). However, Moses David has said "our ministry would be a fulfillment of the predictions of Deuteronomy 18:15-18."(33) And the Lord said, "My Words I have spoken through My Prophet David. For this is he that was for to come--the Prophet which I shall raise up from among thy brethren. (34)
53. HOW DO WE RECONCILE THESE SEEMING CONTRADICTIONS? Was this prophecy about Jesus or Moses David?
54. WE BELIEVE IT IS FULFILLED IN BOTH OF THEM, because this prophecy, like many of the prophecies of God, has had many fulfillments in many different individuals. The following are a few examples:
1) JOSHUA was a Prophet like Moses; "The Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee (raise thee up) in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as (or like) I was with Moses, so will I be with thee. And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God." (Jos.3:7,9)
2) DAVID said he was "raised up" and that "the Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and His Word was in my tongue." (2Sam. 23:1,2)
3) JEREMIAH--God told him, "I ordained thee to be a Prophet (and) I have put my words in thy mouth." (Jer.1:5-10)
4) JESUS CHRIST, God's only begotten Son, definitely fulfilled the Deuteronomy prophecy, as Peter acknowledged. But Jesus also said "He that believeth on me (as we and Moses David do) the works that I do shall he do also (like fulfilling Deut.18); and greater works than these shall he do. (Including greater fulfillments of this and other prophecies!)" (Jn.14:12)
55. "HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE ARE GREATER THAN CHRIST, but it is Christ that worketh in you and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and has only promised to do greater works in these last days through us because they will be needed to stem the tide of iniquity which is rising against His Children." (35)
56. BECAUSE THESE ARE THE LAST DAYS, WE BELIEVE JESUS IS USING MOSES DAVID TO BE A GREATER AND FINAL FULFILLMENT OF DEUT.18:15-18. As MO clearly explained, "Many of the prophecies of God have intermediate fulfillments but they also have ultimate fulfillments, and I really believe with all my heart that we're the ultimate fulfillment of many of these prophecies; there's no time for any other!" (36)
57. THE FACT THAT JESUS WAS NOT THE LAST OF THE PROPHETS CAME FROM HIS OWN MOUTH when He promised, "Behold, I send unto you prophets." (Mt.23:34) This included men like Paul, who said his Apostolic or Prophetic authority was a result of "Christ speaking in me." (2Cor.13:3) Paul also predicted the continuation of "Prophets ... for the perfecting of the saints ... till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ." (Ep.4:11-13) So, as anyone can see (except some church people) this hasn't happened yet; therefore Jesus is still sending Prophets.
58. CHRIST WAS SPEAKING THROUGH THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS "the Prophets ... the Spirit of Christ which was in them ... testified before hand." (1Pet.1:10,11) And He is still speaking through New Testament Prophets like Moses David, the Prophet for today. Is this strange?
59. JESUS SAID THAT YE SHALL KNOW TRUE PROPHETS "BY THEIR FRUITS." And Moses has the fruits: thousands of full time disciples who are wildly willing workers for Jesus--hear ye him! For "whosoever shall not hearken to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him." (Deut.18:19)
(B.) "DAVID" PROPHECIES FULFILLED IN MOSES DAVID
60. WHEN THE LORD, THROUGH A WELL-KNOWN PROPHETESS, FIRST TOLD MOSES THAT EZEKIEL 34 WAS FOR HIM he didn't even seriously consider that it was literally referring to him when it talked of David. "I thought, that's nice--the Lord even chose a passage that had my name in it and applied it to me. ... I never dreamed He could be talking about me personally in that passage." (37)
61. THEN LATER, AFTER THE REVOLUTION WAS IN FULL SWING, one of the brothers got a revelation that this same passage was about MO and he wrote and told him. "I tried to laugh it off--yet I was frightened about it--literally scared that maybe it was true! ... I tried to brush it off. But God dealt with me about it afterwards, and I prayed about it and was, for the first time (June 1971) willing to consider the possibility that this could be a direct prophecy regarding our present work! It certainly had some amazing parallels! I asked the Lord if this was true--and we got a confirmation straight from His own mouth!" (38)
62. PROPHECY: "I HAVE MADE THEE THUS! Who art thou to question, that I have broken thee and made thee and created thee in My own Image to be that David which of old I have foretold!(39) I have kissed thee, David, and brought thee into being, and my love has called thee David--Beloved of God! For which cause thy Mother did name thee!" (40)
63. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE PROPHECIES ABOUT DAVID found in the Old Testament with explanations to show fulfillment in Moses David:
(DAVID TO COME IN LATTER DAYS)
64. ALL THE FACTS OF BIBLE PROPHECY PROVE THAT THIS GENERATION IS LIVING IN THE "TIME OF THE END," or "the Last Days" the time period in which the PROPHECIES SAID DAVID WOULD ARRIVE:
65. THE PROPHET OF THESE PROPHECIES WAS ALSO TO BE CALLED DAVID--which is the given first name that God inspired MO's mother, a true prophetess (see par. 89) to choose for him before birth!
a. "They shall serve the Lord their God, and DAVID their king whom I will raise up unto them ... in the LATTER DAYS ye shall consider it." (Jer.30:9,24)
b. "DAVID my servant" is spoken of in Ezekiel 37:24 just prior to the famous battle of Armageddon in chapter 38 that takes place "in the LATTER YEARS ... in the LATTER DAYS." (Ezk.38:8,16)
c. "Afterwards shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God and DAVID their king; and shall fear the LORD and His goodness in the LATTER DAYS." (Hos.3:5)
(TO SEEK, SAVE AND FEED GOD'S FLOCK)
66. In Ezekiel 34 the Lord says:
a. "I ... will both SEARCH my SHEEP and SEEK them out." (Ezk.34:11,12)
b. "I will SEEK that which was lost ..." (Ezk.34:16)
c. "Therefore will I SAVE my FLOCK ..." (Ezk.34:22)
d. "I will ... FEED them ..." (Ezk.34:13-15)
67. THE WAY JESUS IS SEEKING SAVING AND FEEDING HIS SHEEP IS THROUGH DAVID. In a prophecy the Lord said, "I have had mercy on this generation and I have had this mercy through thee, My David, sending out searchers--hunting them out of the hills and the rocks and the crags and the dens and the caves of the earth." (41)
a. "And I will set up one shepherd over them and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall FEED them, and he shall be their shepherd." (Ezk.34:23)
b. I will SAVE them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned ... and David my servant shall be KING (or leader) over them." (Ezk.37:23, 24)
68. "I HAVE HAD COMPASSION UPON THEM AND SENT UNTO THEM ONE SHEPHERD, that they may know Me whom to know is life Eternal. I have given them a shepherd that shall guide them into the fold of the True Shepherd. My Voice shall they heed through My Servant David." (42)
(TO BREAK YOKE OF THE SYSTEM)
69. PERHAPS ONE OF THE GREATEST PROOFS THAT MOSES DAVID IS THE DAVID OF THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECIES is that God has used him to finally compel God's people to come out of "Babylon, which is the anti-God, anti-Christ Systems of this world, whether Godless education, Christless religions, vicious economics, or hellish wars."(43) As John said, it is "that great city that ruleth over the kings of the earth." (Rev.17:18)
70. THIS LIBERATION FROM BABYLON (OR THE SYSTEM) WAS PREDICTED TO COINCIDE WITH THE ARRIVAL OF DAVID. In Jeremiah the prophecy says, "It shall come to pass in that day that I will break his yoke (Babylon) from off thy neck and strangers (or Gentiles) shall no more serve themselves of him (God's people), but they shall serve the Lord their God and David their king ... in the Latter Days ye shall consider it." (Jer.30:8,9)
71. GOD'S PEOPLE WENT UNDER THE "YOKE OF BABYLON" OR BONDAGE TO THE SYSTEM IN 586 BC (see Jeremiah chapter 27), and though the physical captivity of God's people in literal Babylon only lasted from 586 to 516 BC, they have remained captives in spiritual Babylon (the System), serving its idols instead of serving God and His Kingdom. Except in the cases of a few rare individuals like St. Paul, St. Francis, etc., God's children as a whole have never really come out of Babylon. "Although the Early Church came close to it, they never made the total break. Some of them were still hanging onto their synagogues and old concision doctrines instead of the new way: totally by grace." (44)
72. "THE REIGN OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR ACTUALLY SIGNIFIED ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THE TIMES THE GENTILES (dominance of Babylon over God's people), with the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC, the end of the Jews as a nation, a people and a power. These 'Times of the Gentiles' didn't end until the year of Our Lord 1969--the very year that God's New Latter Day Jews (The Children of God) arose in a worldwide spiritual Revolution to claim the Kingdom of God in these Last Days." (45)
73. UNTIL US THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A GROUP THAT HAS TRULY BROKEN THIS YOKE OF BABYLON, because until us no one was willing to drop all the way out of the System.
74. "THAT'S WHY EVERY MODERN REVIVAL MOVEMENT HAS EVENTUALLY FAILED: Because though they thought they were breaking away from the system of the denomination or the thing they came out of, they never actually broke with the System, never really broke with the churchianity system for one thing, or the worldly System for another. They were just a new group following the same plan the same procedure, the same System, still dependent upon the worldly System, and developing their own new churchy system. They never really dropped out!" (46)
75. "BUT WE HAVE DROPPED OUT OF THE SYSTEM! We only use it for the glory of God! You've got the Kingdom of God within you, as Jesus said. (Lk.17:21) You no longer belong to the same System, you no longer are part of the damnable, fiendish, satanic, whorish world System of idolatry, including churchianity, and education, their damned propaganda set-up, or their damned commercial system!"(47) (The following scriptures make this point clear.)
a. "Judah (God's people) ... Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon." (Jer.27:12--586 BC)
b. "It shall come to pass in that day ... that I will break his (Babylon's) yoke from off they neck ... they shall serve ... God, and David ..." instead of the System. (Jer.30:8.9--started in 1969)
c. "I will set up one shepherd ... even my servant David ... when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them," those false shepherds of the System. (Ezk.34:23,27)
d. "Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols. I will save them ... and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. And David my servant shall be King over them." (Ezk.37:23,24)
76. "THERE IS A PURGING IN THIS LAST DAY" and according to Isaiah chapter 4 there's going to be a "Holy church which is purified and purged and the filth is washed away." God is going to cleanse the Church of "that God-damned self-righteous hypocrisy, because that is what is filthy in God's eyes!" (48)
77. IT'S GOD'S WORDS THROUGH MOSES that are destroying the idols of Babylon and liberating us to serve God instead of the System! PTL! "The yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing"--the Spirit! (Is.10:27) "The Words that I speak unto you they are spirit and they are Life." (Jn.6:63)
78. "EACH NEW BLAST OF THE POWER OF GOD AND HIS WORDS HAVE BROKEN THE CHAINS that bound them; shattered the locks of their prison doors; destroyed the walls that surrounded them and set them free."(49) They "take away from the midst of thee (from your heart) the YOKE"! (Is.58:9)
(TO ENTER THE PROMISED LAND)
79. THE RETURN TO THE PROMISED LAND is another event that is to happen at the time of David's appearance. This return is seen in each of the main "David chapters": Jeremiah 30, Ezekiel 34 and Ezekiel 37.
a. "I will cause them to return to the land that I gave their fathers, and they shall possess it." (Jer.30:3)
b. "I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land ... upon the mountains of Israel!" (Ezk.34:13,14)
c. "I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them [ALERT! CHECK FOR SANITIZATION: "
"] and bring them into their own land [ALERT! CHECK FOR SANITIZATION: "
"] the land I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt: and they shall dwell therein [ALERT! CHECK FOR SANITIZATION: "
"] forever." (Ezk.37:21,23,25)
80. MOSES SAID THIS LAND WE ARE GOING TO POSSESS IS SPIRITUAL, NOT PHYSICAL! "Anyone looking for any more literal Promised Land, or Kingdom of Heaven on earth, will have to await the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ! I didn't find it when I visited Israel, I'll assure you! If anything, it was a poor substitute, a counterfeit and a delusion!" (50)
81. ISRAEL IS NOT THE PROMISED LAND, BUT A STRANGE OR FOREIGN LAND to God's children who are seeking the spiritual promised land! "For 'By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed. ... By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country ... with Isaac and Jacob.' In other words, even though he got to the earthly promised land, he never found the place he was looking for, because it wasn't there.(51) 'For he looked for a city which hath foundations whose builder and maker is God!' The New and Heavenly Jerusalem built of living stones--you and I!" (52)
82. "AS JESUS SAID, 'IF MY KINGDOM WERE OF THIS WORLD, THEN WOULD MY SERVANTS FIGHT, ... but now is my kingdom not from hence.' (Jn18:36) 'For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.' (Lk.17:21) Not a materialistic, fleshly little Kingdom like ridiculous Israel, but the mighty all powerful Kingdom of God throughout the world in the hearts of those who will receive it, if you take it to them. You must obey, for this is the will of God: that ye enter in and possess the Kingdom!" (53)
83. "THESE ALL (SAINTS WHO'VE GONE BEFORE US) DIED IN FAITH, NOT HAVING RECEIVED THE PROMISES' (He.11:13) but it is given unto you, my children, to enter into this final and glorious Promised Land of spiritual victory over the world, and the possessing of the total Kingdom--the final Kingdom ... even unto the uttermost parts of the earth. You are going to finish the job.(54) For thou art My people for this Last day, and I am with thee, even as I was with My servant Moses to separate My children from Egypt and to lead them into the Promised Land--My Kingdom which is not of this earth--but is Heavenly!" (55)
(HOW DAVID PROPHECIES ARE FULFILLED IN US ALSO)
84. THE NAME "DAVID" LITERALLY MEANS "BELOVED OF GOD" Jesus said, "He that keepeth My commandments shall be loved of My Father"(56), or beloved of God: therefore all who have obeyed Jesus have been "David" to some extent.
85. THEY WERE LIKE INTERMEDIATE FULFILLMENTS OF DAVID. This includes the likes of such men as Peter, Paul, St. Francis, Martin Luther, etc. ... They were the David or Prophet for their day and those that received them received a Prophet's reward, and became part of the Bride of Christ, of David for that day. (See Jn.13:20; Mt.10:14)
86. THE LORD HAS SAID IN PROPHECY, "FOR TRULY THERE ARE MANY DAVIDS but this one have I chosen! And this one have I anointed that it might fulfill all of that which was written of him." (57)
87. MOSES DAVID IS THE LAST AND FINAL "DAVID", and as we receive and obey his Words we receive his reward and we also become David, the "Bride of Brides"(58) and these prophecies are also fulfilled in us. Moses has said, "It's like I'm a symbol unto them, like all our Children are David, God's voice to the world."(59) And in prophecy the Lord said, "My David" is the "New church, My Queen ... The Children of God." (60)
IV. Fulfilled prophecy by Moses David.
88. THE FOLLOWING ARE A FEW OF THE MAJOR FULFILLMENTS OF PROPHECIES BY MOSES DAVID. "Now have I told you before it come to pass that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe." (Jn.14:29) Some of these have not been totally fulfilled, but are now so near fulfillment we have included them also.
A. DESTRUCTION OF WEST BY EGYPT, FROM "WARNING PROPHECY--1964.
89. SINCE 1964, WHEN MOSES' MOTHER RECEIVED THE "WARNING PROPHECY," MO has been predicting the destruction of the "Great Society" (of the West) to come from Egypt. "Turn your eyes toward Memphis (Egypt) for out of it shall come the Great Confusion. ... the Great Society shall come to travail and bring forth the Great Confusion." ("Warning Tract," 1965--printed and distributed by the millions!)
90. REMEMBER, THIS PROPHECY WAS GIVEN BACK IN 1964 when the so called "underdeveloped, backward and completely disunited Arabs," with Egypt as their traditional head, weren't even considered a threat by the complacent West! The West still had the controlling interests of Arab oil in their hands and the fractioned Arabs were made a military mockery in the Six-Day War of 1967.
91. HOWEVER, IN LATE 1973 UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF EGYPT AND LIBYA (WHO WAS ONCE PART OF EGYPT AND PROPOSES TO BE SO AGAIN), THINGS BEGAN TO CHANGE. Egypt's attack on Israel in the Oct. War and Libya's precedent in nationalizing and raising the price of its oil succeeded in uniting the Arabs for the first time in centuries ... and almost 10 years after the prophecy was given it began to be fulfilled!" Today if you don't think the Arabs, with the help of Africa and Asia, could destroy the Great Western Society, then you need to take another look toward Memphis and the power of Arab oil, which is now in the hands of the Arabs and is making them one of the richest and most powerful forces on Earth, with her hands throttling the throat of an oil-thirsty world." (61)
92. Another Mid-East war will only mean more oil embargoes and even higher prices of oil for the West, which will lead to either collapse of their financial systems or war--either of which will destroy her. WHY? "The wicked shall be turned into hell and ALL the nations that forget God." (Ps.9:17)
B. NIXON: HIS TRUE CHARACTER AND WATERGATE POLITICS--From "Nitler" Aug. '71
93. "NIXON'S WHOLE ADMINISTRATION HAS ALL THE EARMARKS OF A WELL-PREPARED NAZI-TYPE REGIME! They're working on it tooth and claw!"(62) Moses was saying this back when almost all other U.S. "Christian" leaders were hailing Nitler as their hero, and the U.S. public voted him in with a landslide majority. Even Billy Graham, the world famous evangelist regarded as a Prophet by most fundamentalist Christians, said in a statement to the press in which he refuted charges by McGovern that Nixon had used "dirty tricks" in his campaign: "These sound like desperate accusations of a beaten man. I know President Nixon personally and he is one of the most sincere men I know."
94. MOSES, YEARS EARLIER, HAD ALREADY PEGGED NIXON FOR THE FASCIST PHONEY HE WAS and said how this nitwit Hitler, Nitler, would operate his re-election campaign. "Let's say he gets in next year by hook and crook and violent revolution, and suppression and repression to keep law and order."(63) Well, now we know! Nitler didn't win the election in 1972--he stole it. And with his "dirty tricks" campaign he did crush the youth rebellion in their attempt at political revolution under McGovern.(64) What can you say about these other Prophets? "Woe unto the foolish Prophets which follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!" (Ezk.13:3)
C. ECONOMIC BANKRUPTCY OF U.S. AND WEST--From "War, Boom, Bust," Jan. '70 and "The Dollar," Sept. '71.
95. "AMERICANS HAVE HAD THE LONGEST BOOM IN THEIR HISTORY because of American Propaganda--the God-damned liars that have deceived the people of America, (but) America is in a BANKRUPT condition.
96. "WE'RE ON A CRASH COURSE TO BANKRUPTCY. Two thirds of the government's expenses go into paying for war! A war expenditure is a total waste--it doesn't come back! It's invested in stuff that will be totally destroyed--bombs and foreign bases that will be taken over by others. Sooner or later the country's going to pay for it. In the Great Depression, America began to crack FIRST, and it caused government after government to go financially bankrupt!" (65)
97. "THE THREAT OF REVOLUTION IS SO IMPENDING that the powers that be are aware that a RECESSION would set it off. The best cure for RECESSION is to start another WAR, but they also are aware that their policy of feeding the youth of the nation into the war machine is also fuel for agitating the revolutionary element; so either way--TROUBLE!" (66)
98. FINALLY IN LATE '74 A FEW HONEST SOCIAL SCIENTISTS WERE BEGINNING TO PREDICT WHAT MO WAS SAYING YEARS AGO--that the U.S. and consequently the West are headed for a depression and consequent political revolution "such as occurred in the 1930s and that led to World War II."--British historian, Geoffery Barraclough.
D. WORLDWIDE WITNESSING AND PUBLICATION OF MO'S MESSAGE
From Huntington Beach, Jan., '69
99. MO SAID WHEN WE WERE JUST ONE COLONY OF TWO DOZEN "SMELLY" HIPPIES, "God said our little pebble would roll, gather momentum, until it snowballed into a mountain! Our little flame would be fanned into a forest fire that would sweep the nation; that our wave would wash the shores of the world!" (67)
From "Psalm of David" Jan., '72
100. MONTHS BEFORE MO'S WORDS WERE PRINTED UP FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE MASSES, the Lord said through Moses of his own words: "His tongue shall be heard by many nations and his words shall echo throughout all the world." (68)
101. SINCE WE STARTED KEEPING RECORDS in Oct. 1971 we have as of Nov. 1975--
Witnessed to: 4,985,102,953
Literature distributed: 218,108,922
Converts: 581,856
Colonies: over 600
102. GOD'S MESSAGE THROUGH MO HAS BEEN PUBLISHED IN OVER 60 COUNTRIES and translated into every major tongue in only 3 years. and it's just the beginning.
103. REMEMBER, THERE WERE INSURMOUNTABLE OBSTACLES and enemies all among the way and a thousand reasons why it couldn't have happened, but it did--because God said it would!
E. WORLDWIDE COLONIZATIONS--From "Colonization"--Feb. 70
104. IN EARLY 1970, WHEN WE WERE ONLY TWO COLONIES, one in Thurber, Texas (TSC) and another in Los Angeles, California, MO Predicted;
"We are literally going to colonize this world with successful units that are going to survive and they're going to get the job done. ... We want to put colonies wherever God shows us until pretty soon we are running that part of the world for the Lord. Amen? I believe it's going to work. It is working; we're doing it! (Paraphrases Acts 1:8 by faith.) And ye shall be witnesses unto Me in Huntington Beach and in California and in all America, and the four corners of the earth." (69)
105. PRAISE GOD! WE NOW HAVE OVER 600 COLONIES in over 60 countries! God gave MO the pre-vision and we just followed it, and it worked 'cause God said it would!
F. HIS SON AARON'S DEATH ON A MOUNTAINTOP--From "Coming Division," Aug. '69
106. IN A VISION MOSES "SAW A PICTURE OF AARON DYING ON THE MOUNT."(70) Aaron went to be with the Lord in April 1973, on a mountain overlooking Geneva, Switzerland nearly four years after the prophecy was given!
107. AARON IS NOW THE CHILDREN OF GOD'S PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE IN THE COUNSELS AND COURTS OF HEAVEN! "God has enabled him to help us as never before! And he is! Rejoice that this another son of David is added to his helpers! Amen? Hallelujah! Many of God's mountain men and women are going to die climbing His mountain!" (71)
G. THE COMET KOHOUTEK
From "Christmas Monster"--8/9/73
108. MO SAID THE COMET COULD POSSIBLY PORTEND "THE END OF THINGS AS THEY NOW ARE, including present world powers, economic systems, etc. The total downfall of America, the collapse of the currency and /or economic system, or the great worldwide confusion brought on by the energy shortage." (72)
From "More on Kohoutek"--4/11/73
109. "THIS COULD BE THE END OF FASCIST AMERICA AND ITS NEW NAZI EMPEROR." (73)
From "40 Days"--11/12/73
110. THE LORD SAID THERE WAS TO BE AN "80 DAY WARNING" (40 for us and 40 for the world), then "Nineveh shall be destroyed."(74) Mo interpreted this to be the destruction of the U.S. and Nixon. (75) The warning began Nov. 11, '73 and ended Jan. 31, '74.
111. MOSES DID NOT PREDICT THAT THE COMET WAS TO BE OF TREMENDOUS SIZE. The astronomers were the ones who prophesied about the size of the comet, "We simply interpreted what the comet meant and what it was going to do. The fact that it was not seen as we as expected did not affect its effect at all. Its effect has been just as great!" (76)
112. MOSES PREDICTED THE TWO MAIN EFFECTS OF THE COMET WOULD BE (1) GOVERNMENTAL & (2) ECONOMICAL. Newsweek magazine in its "Year End" edition for 1974 said, "It would be an exaggeration to say that the world was turned upside down in 1974. Yet there was pervasive suspicion that such a process had begun." (The following quotes from this above-mentioned Newsweek show why it came to this foreboding conclusion.)
(1) GOVERNMENTAL CHANGE
113. "THE EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER OF LEADERSHIP CHANGES around the world (are) changes too numerous and sweeping to be attributed simply to normal political wear and tear." There was a total of 13 major heads of state that fell in 74 including Nitler, as well as a colonial defeat in Africa where the Portuguese totally surrendered to the rebel armies of its three African colonies. "A development" according to Newsweek, unprecedented in Sub-Saharan colonial history."
(2) ECONOMIC DISASTER
114. 'Newsweek said "Many economists ... doubted that the monetary system which has prevailed for more than a quarter century could long be sustained." This was because 1974 began "what surely will become the largest redistribution of global wealth in history." The coffers of the Mid-East members of OPEC (had) 85 billion dollars by the end of 1974 compared to just 15 billion dollars a year earlier." Then quoting a top capitalist it concluded that "1974 triggered as many changes as anything since the Industrial Revolution."
115. NOW AS WE ENTER 1975 THE U.S. IS REGISTERING 8.2 % UNEMPLOYMENT, THE WORST SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION! Nitler has fallen--the economy is falling and Nineveh will soon fall--because God said so! And the effects of the comet are being felt in precisely the way MO predicted.
CONCLUSION
116. "THE REBELLION OF DAVID IS EXPLODING THROUGH ALL THE EARTH! The armies of David that I have promised to march abroad, the things that I have promised unto David, I have fulfilled, and every word shall be fulfilled and everything that I have promised shall be done!
117. "HALLELUJAH! ARE YOU EXPLODING WITH US? Are you moving with God's Mighty Men? Are you part of God's conquering army? Get on the move for God! We're really going places and seeing miracles! PG, He's not dead, and it can be done, and we're doing it, by the power of His Spirit in obedience to His Word." (77)
