THE CHRONICLES OF THE "TWO WITNESSES,"
Part Six


Let us give all praise, honor, glory, magnification, and veneration to and to His most faithful and just Son, , our Lord and Savior. Praise ! Praise !

O come, let us sing unto the Lord, : let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms. For the Lord, , is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is His also. The sea is His, and He made it: and His hands formed the dry land.

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord, , our Maker. For He is our God; and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand (Psalm 95:1-7).

Therefore, praise ye the Lord, . Praise ye the Lord, , from the heavens: praise Him in the heights. Praise ye Him, all His angels: praise ye Him, all His hosts. Praise ye Him, sun and moon: praise Him, all ye stars of light. Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens (Psalm 148:1-4). Let everything that hath breath, praise ! Hallelu ! Hallelu !

It is my greatest pleasure to welcome you all to the commemoration of our Twenty-Ninth Annual Feast of Weeks. Also, welcome to part six of this seminar entitled, "The Chronicles of The Two Witnesses." Praise ! Praise ! Our subject matter for this seminar comes from Revelation, Chapter 11, which gives a full account of the sufferings and persecutions as well as the sacrifices that the "two witnesses"-a small number of persons within our Nation-shall have to endure as martyrs of . That being the case, in our last seminar, we began decrypting the beginning of Revelation, Chapter 11, verse 8. Therefore, let us turn to and read Revelation, Chapter 11, verse 8:
And their [the two witnesses'] dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord, , was crucified.
The portion of this Scripture that we decoded last feast was, "And their [the two witnesses'] dead bodies shall lie in the street ...." In recapitulating some of what was presented in that particular seminar, we concluded that the "dead bodies" of the two witnesses is a euphemistical term used to describe functional and operational entities of The Nation of . These functional and operational entities of The Nation of were better described as foundations and committees of The Nation of . And to be very exact, they were specifically identified as the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee. These entities-the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee-were characterized as "dead bodies" because they will ultimately be destroyed and put to death.

When we intently researched the word "dead," we came to perceive from our facts that a foolish group of people will be guided or directed, as by persuasion or influence, to some particular course of action. And this particular course of action will be to rebel against the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee, even though these are the entities that , Himself, established and authorized. And they are even the entities that , Himself, gave official permission to do certain things, such as to publish the word of , to put on the feasts of , and to prepare for the legal battles of The Nation of .

Nonetheless, this foolish people shall show an act of defiance toward the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee. However, in all actuality, their act of defiance will not necessarily be toward the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee, but, rather against the Supreme Authority Himself, who is Christ, .

Furthermore, our facts also proved that these foolish people-those who have deviated from the accepted standards of -will have strong feelings or deep attitudes of hatred, enmity, antagonism, and anger toward the entities that established. This will cause them to betray these entities and to lead an unjust campaign against them.

Consequently, they will hand them over to the United States government by informing against them and will even give false evidence for prosecution in a state case or federal trial by telling tales as well as naming names of persons whom they perceive are behind the entities. To say the least, these same foolish people will be hired by the U. S. government and will receive payment or reward while under contract (Matthew 26:15).

And even after all that they will put the "two witnesses" and the entities of The Nation of through, none of this will be enough for them. But, rather, they will seek something else above and beyond payment or reward. The foolish people will also desire to have all the literary productions and all the revenues generated from any unpublished work of . To add to this, they will even seek possession of the collective writings and lifework of . This is not all, but, they, too, will want to take possession of His storehouse, archives, and library. And in an effort to get what they want, they will vilify and slander the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee in the "street."

When we interpreted the meaning of "street," we deduced that as hired informants of the U. S. government, they will get their vilification and slander out by all means of communication. They will send and disperse vilification and slander in document form, telephone calls, faxes, and emails. They will even go as far as television, radio, and Internet to disperse this vilification and slander against the "dead bodies" of the "two witnesses"-the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee. Be aware, because these informants will even vilify and slander the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee in general conversations as well as chats by dropping subtle hints and fleas in the ears of the followers and disciples of .

And all of this slander and vilification will take place in the "great city," which is spiritually called SODOM and EGYPT, where also our Lord, , was crucified. This is where our last seminar ended. And this is also where we will continue with today's seminar in order to find out exactly where this "great city,"-spiritually called SODOM and EGYPT-is today. With that in mind, let us read our foundation Scripture (Revelation 11:8) in full before we commence with our decoding. Please begin reading:
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the "great city," which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord, , was crucified.
Our research will initiate with the adjective "great" in order to identify what type of city this is. Therefore, in accordance with The Cassell Concise Dictionary, copyright 1998, on page 646, the adjective great is delineative of something that is "notorious." On page 952, of the same reference source, notorious is depicted as "having celebrity"; while celebrity in the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, expresses a city that is in "wide recognition; fame or stardom."

In coherence with these definitions, it can be established that this great city in which the entities of The Nation of shall be slandered and vilified is a city that is quite notorious, meaning that is widely recognized for fame and stardom. In other words, this city has star status in sports and entertainment, and also has the prestige to go with the status (according to the definition of stardom as referenced in the Microsoft Encarta Reference Library, copyright 1993-2003, Computer Software).

So, let us look at the word "great" from yet another perspective. Great is also recorded in the New Oxford American Thesaurus, copyright 2000, Computer Software, as being synonymous to "terrible." Terrible, in the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, comes from the Latin word terrere, which means "to frighten." From this same reference source, terrible also connotes something that is "very unpleasant." And, even more, frighten in the New Oxford American Dictionary, copyright 2001, Computer Software, means "to make very afraid." Also, The Cassell Concise Dictionary, copyright 1998, on page 1522, describes terrible as "full of violence."

Assuming the accuracy of all of these definitions, we can assert that not only is this great city the place that they will slander and vilify the three entities of The Nation of widely recognized for fame and stardom, but, it is also a city that is very unpleasant to be in. Why? Because it is full of violence, which, in turn, makes you very afraid to abide there. Hence, it is described in Revelation, Chapter 11, verse 8 as being spiritually called SODOM and EGYPT.

Now in deducing that this "great city" is spiritually called SODOM and EGYPT, we can logically understand that this city is not literally SODOM or EGYPT, but similar in nature to SODOM and EGYPT. So let us define the word "spiritually" from Revelation, Chapter 11, verse 8.

The Wordsearch, Strong's Greek Dictionary, Computer Software, copyright 1990-1993, renders the Greek word for spiritually (reference number 4152) as pneumatikos, pronounced pnyoo-mat-ik-oce, and it means "figuratively." Succinctly, this city that is widely recognized for fame and stardom, but, that is also full of violence to such a degree that it will make you afraid to abide there is figuratively called SODOM and EGYPT. Therefore, let us dissect the word "figuratively."

Accepting the correctness of the Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, copyright 1999, Computer Software, the word figurative, from the word figuratively, means "involving a figure of speech." The Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, describes a figure of speech as "an expression, as a metaphor, using words in a nonliteral sense or unusual manner to add vividness to what is said or written." And, again in the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, vividness is the act of "forming clear or striking mental images; clearly perceived by the mind; visualization."

By virtue of these facts, we can validate that this city that is widely recognized for fame and stardom and that is also full of violence is called SODOM and EGYPT in a figurative sense. This implies that SODOM and EGYPT are both expressions used in a nonliteral sense or unusual manner so that you will be able to form clear and striking images of what is being said or written about concerning this city. But, more than this, this city is referred to as SODOM and EGYPT so that you will be able to clearly perceive and visualize this city in your mind.

Keeping this in mind, we will begin to decode the word SODOM from Revelation, Chapter 11, verse 8, which reads in part:
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the "great city," which spiritually is called Sodom ...
As referenced in the WORDsearch 7.0, Barnes Notes on the New Testament, copyright 2004, Computer Software, it states this about SODOM from Revelation, Chapter 11, verse 8: "In inquiring what 'city' is here referred to, it would be necessary to find in it such abominations as characterized Sodom, or so much wickedness that it would be proper to call it Sodom."

This statement indicates that the city in which the entities-the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee-shall be vilified and slandered in, which is also the city that our Lord, , was crucified in, shall be characterized by the same abominations as biblical SODOM. Furthermore, we shall also find so much wickedness in this city that it would be proper to call this city SODOM. So, let us gain some further insight into the word SODOM.

Sodom is documented in The Cassell Concise Dictionary, copyright 1998, on page 1402, as "a place of utter wickedness; a place of homosexuality." The Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, describes the word wicked, from the word wickedness, as "iniquitous." And iniquitous, means to be "full of sin" (as recorded in the American Heritage Talking Dictionary, copyright 1997, Computer Software). Accordingly, we can briefly summarize that this great city that the entities of The Nation of shall be slandered and vilified in, which is also where our Lord, , was crucified will be "full of sin" and will also be a place of homosexuality, just as Sodom in the Bible. Therefore, let us turn to and read Genesis, Chapter 13, verse 13:
But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord, , exceedingly.
Let us also read Genesis, Chapter 18, verse 20:
And the Lord, , said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
These Scriptures verify the sin of Sodom as being exceedingly great and very grievous. So, let us continue our research of Sodom. In the Merriam Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 2003, Computer Software, Sodom is also descriptive of "a place notorious for vice or corruption." Accepting the integrity of the Microsoft Encarta Reference Library, copyright 1993-2003, Computer Software, vice is connoted as "any criminal activity, such as prostitution, gambling, and drugs." Corruption, in the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, is equivalent to "crime."

Hence, this great city that the entities-the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee-shall be slandered and vilified in is figuratively denoted as SODOM because it is not only full of sin and homosexuality, but it also a place notorious for criminal activity, such as prostitution, gambling, and drugs. It is a place that is just full of crime, which is "lawlessness, scandal, murder, rape, battery, theft, robbery, burglary, mugging, kidnapping, embezzlement, and the list just goes on and on (from the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software). Just about any and everything that you can find sinful and utterly wicked is in this city. This is why had to destroy ancient SODOM in the Bible, as is written in Genesis, Chapter 19, verses 24 through 25:
[24] Then the Lord, , rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord, , out of heaven;

[25] And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Jude, Chapter 1, verse 7 also connotes that SODOM was set forth as an example, which suffered the vengeance of eternal fire. Let us read:
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Hence, all that we have described thus far specify the abominations that characterize the city that the entities of The Nation of will be slandered and vilified in as being much like SODOM. And this same city, like SODOM, will eventually suffer the vengeance of eternal fire from God, .

So, I'm sure by now you are probably thinking in your mind that these types of abominations are happening all over the world, so just how can we narrow down SODOM? With this thought in mind, our next definitions of SODOM should help us to more closely pinpoint the location of this city.

In The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, Greek Dictionary, copyright 1990, Sodom (reference number 4670) is transliterated in Greek as Sodoma, pronounced Sod-om-ah, and is the "plural of Hebrew origin [Hebrew number 5467 (Cedom)]." In the Hebrew Dictionary of the same reference source, Cedom (reference number 5467) is "from an unused root meaning to scorch or a burnt district."

The Cassell Concise Dictionary, copyright 1998, on page 1319, defines the word scorch as "to be parched, singed, or dried up with heat." And, in the same identical reference source, on page 192, burnt is defined as "to be or become intensely hot; a very hot place"; while, a district means the same as "city" (in The Synonym Finder, by J. I. Rodale, copyright 1978, on page 315).

Therefore, the gravity of these definitions confirm, even further, that this city, like SODOM, is not only a sinful place, but is a place that is characterized as being parched, singed, and dried up with heat. It is even a place that has become intensely hot. In fact, it is just plainly called a very hot place. Praise ! Praise !

With that established, this hot city that the entities-the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee-will be slandered in, which is also where our Lord, , was crucified, is also figuratively called EGYPT. This is written in Revelation, Chapter 11, verse 8:
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the "great city," which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt ...
Since, the Scripture reads, "...where also our Lord, , was crucified, let us define the word "also." Also, in the American Heritage Talking Dictionary, copyright 1997, Computer Software, is defined as "in the same way or manner." Hence, this implies that the entities of The Nation of -the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and the Feast Committee-shall be crucified in the same way or manner as our Lord, . So what does it mean to be crucified?

In The Cassell Concise Dictionary, copyright 1998, on page 348, to be crucified means "to endure much suffering, as experienced by Christ; to bind." In the Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, copyright 1999, Computer Software, to bind is "to imprison." Also, in the Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, copyright 1999, Computer Software, to crucify also means "to persecute." Persecute, in the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, is depicted as "to afflict or harass constantly so as to injure or distress; to oppress cruelly, esp. for reasons of another's belief."

Thus, those associated with these entities of The Nation of -the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee-shall be imprisoned and shall have to endure much suffering, as experienced by Christ, . In addition, they will be afflicted and harassed constantly so as to injure or distress them. And this imprisonment and oppression that they shall undergo in Miami, Florida-which is also where our Lord, , was crucified-will be for reason's of their belief in and His Son, . For it is written in Luke, Chapter 21, verses 12 through 13:
[12] But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake.

[13] And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
Thus, the entities of The Nation of -the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee-shall not worry about being persecuted or being delivered up to the synagogue, or even being put in prison because it shall turn to them for a testimony unto and unto the Son, . For, we, The Nation of , shall also remember the words of as spoken unto us. Let us read John, Chapter 15, verse 20 in part:
Remember the words I[] spoke to you: "No servant is greater than his master." If they persecuted Me [], they will persecute you also ...
For those who shall endure persecution for the sake of the name of know that they are blessed and that they shall receive a great reward in heaven, as so eloquently stated in Matthew, Chapter 5, verses 10 through 12:
[10] Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

[11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake.

[12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
For in the long run, those who seek to crucify and persecute the entities of The Nation of -the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee-shall surely be confounded. And shortly after they persecute us, shall bring upon them the day of evil and shall destroy them with double destruction, just as He did SODOM in the days of old. This is written in Jeremiah, Chapter 17, verse 18:
Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
But, until the day that brings evil and double destruction upon them, Revelation, Chapter 11, verse 9 tells us that the people, kindreds, tongues and nations shall see the dead bodies-the PEESS Foundation, The Abraham Foundation, and The Feast Committee-three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. Let us read Revelation, Chapter 11, verse 9:
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
This is where we will begin decoding in our next seminar as we shall reveal what it means that they will not SUFFER their dead bodies to be PUT IN GRAVES. Praise ! Praise !

I pray that you all have enjoyed the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding presented in this seminar and I pray that you gird up your loins for a serious day of persecution that is swift to come upon us. It is a fact that they crucified , so they shall also crucify us. For we are not greater than the Master, . However, has given us joy in knowing that when we suffer with Him, we shall also be glorified with Him (Romans 8:17). Enjoy the remainder of the Feast of Weeks. Let everything that hath breath, praise ! Praise !

Shalom aleichem.
