David Koresh’s Advertisement


David Koresh, née Vernon Wayne Howell, was the leader of the Branch Davidians cult. In the pre-YouTube era, he searched for followers by placing eye-catching advertisements in religious journals. 

“Dear Brethern in the Seventh-day Adventist Church:

I am the Son of God. You do not know Me nor My name. I have been raised up from the north and My travels are from the rising sun…

…I have been rejected in the person of my Prophets over and over. I have seven eyes and seven horns. My name is the Word of God and I ride on a white horse. I Am here on earth to give you the Seventh’s Angel’s message.

I Am the prophets; all of them. I want to invite you to My marriage supper. The invitation is in Psalms 45. Read it and confess that you don’t know Me. I Am the Word of God.

The key of David is in My hand. I only can open the prophecies of David and Solomon. I have ascended from the east with the seal of the living God. My name is Cyrus and I Am here to destroy Babylon. I have come in a way that is  contrary to your preconceived  ideas. I will reprove you for your world loving. I will scold your daughters for their nakedness and pride that they parade in my Father’s house and by My angels will strip them naked before all eyes before their foolish pride. Read Isaiah 3:13-36.

The young men will abuse My kindness. They will take My life, but I will arise and take theirs forever more.

You ministers will lament your foolishness. Your lost flock will tear you to pieces…

PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD

Lenin’s Home in Kremlin is Shrine of Reds

Cooking Pans Still in Wall Cabinets

By William Moore- Moscow, June 22- “One of the sights of Moscow that few visitors see is the apartment in the Kremlin that was occupied by Nikolai Lenin. He helped to found the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and became its premier. He also became so much a symbol of communism that the doctrines, tactics and practises of the Communist party have become known as Leninism.
Everything has been left in the apartment as it was in the days when Lenin lived in it.
Lenin’s apartment and his offices are shrines to communism. He died in 1924 and his widow lived in the apartment until her death in 1939.
Oilcloth still covers the table on which the family ate in the modest kitchen.Lenin liked to cook and often prepared the meals. The cooking utensils have been preserved in the wall cabinets. In Mrs. Lenin’s room are family photographs of the Lenins and their relatives. Mrs. Lenin used a headset radio and the set and her headphones still lie upon a desk.”
