In the 20 years which lie behind us since 1980, God has made a new beginning after the attack of the enemy to destroy in 1979. World-wide a few million souls received Salvation in Jesus Christ through this ministry. The believers were baptised according to the pattern of the apostolic days, in the Name of the LORD Jesus Christ. Since 1997 1 have spoken in more than 60 Pentecostal-charismatic meetings world-wide, so they will also be without excuse. In some countries I could repeatedly speak to whole nations via TV. All over the earth God has opened the doors, has granted grace for the many journeys throughout all these years in over 120 countries. Also in the eighties and nineties, uncounted souls came into the Church of Christ. God's people were led deeper and deeper into the plan of Salvation, as recorded in prophetic Scripture and predicted for the end-time. We now see all these things fulfilled. God's message, the promised and revealed Word under the terminology of “end-time message”, is being spread in every possible way throughout the world. Including the mission works of our brethren Alexis Barilier and Etienne Genton, who both were in Brother Branham's meetings in 1955 and have part in this ministry from the very beginning, we now print in 15 different languages and serve the whole world.

We should not be astonished that with the year 2000 several TV stations, which by satellite signal reach the whole world, are offering the opportunity for airing our program. The end of all things is near, as Peter admonished (1 Pet. 4: 7), and therefore the last call must go forth. And did not our LORD predict in Mt. 24, Mk. 13, Lk. 21 what would take place before His return? Did He not point to the importance thereof, saying, “... when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.” (Mt. 24: 33). For 2,000 years this text could be read. But we are the generation that sees all these things fulfilled. Also what our LORD said in Lk. 21: 24 in reference to Israel has happened, “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” (Lk. 21: 24). After 2,000 years, since 1948, the country of Israel exists again. In the peace process the negotiations concentrate on Jerusalem, which is the capital of Israel since 3,300 years, for that city now must become a burden stone to all nations (Zech. 12: 2-3). Actually the concern is the temple mountain, as could be seen when Mr. Ariel Sharon at the end of September 2000 visited there. All is being done: negotiations take place on every level. Land is being offered for peace, “autonomy” here and “a separate state” there, until finally might be fulfilled, as it is written, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety ...” (1 Thess. 5: 1-3). But it will be a deceptive, man-made peace. In the last round of talks, the, Vatican as the highest authority on earth will play the main role, so the Scripture can be fulfilled and the contract for the seven years can be signed (Dan. 9: 27), as it is agreed openly in the Oslo-accord.

Now the time is at hand, things are moving. Bible prophecy is coming to pass in every way, with the chosen people of Israel as well as with the chosen Church from the nations. The entire constellation of the last world empire - the European Union - in politics, economy and religion signifies global fulfillment of Bible prophecy for the end-time. As all things are being united on all levels, even the world capital, into existence comes the “United Europe” under the Roman Catholic pre-eminence, as it has been under Emperor Charles the Great. In this circular we cannot deal further with this matter. It is later as some think! Our LORD speaks with urgency to His Own, “Watch ye, therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” (Lk. 21: 36).
