God’s Two Witnesses

by Tony Alamo

A Hebrew Christian

TODAY’S MOST IMPORTANT PROPHECY

Susan Alamo would never say God told her something unless He did. When He did, and she would say He did, it always came to pass and it was always big, wonderful, and exciting.

In February 1982, approximately two months before my wife Susan died, the church and I were all praying to God for her to be healed from terminal cancer. One night she told me of a revelation she kept getting from God. She said, “Tony, God keeps telling me I’m not going to live, I’m going to die. I’m going to be gone for quite some time. After that time, God is going to raise me from the dead, and when He does, you and I will be the two witnesses of God mentioned in the eleventh chapter of the book of Revelation.”1 God had revealed this many years ago to me and, although she never wanted to talk about it, Susan knew it as well as I.

Susan’s vision that we were to be married came to her with her eyes wide open. She received this vision all night long. She saw herself dressed in a wedding gown and me in a tuxedo. She said our arms were joined together. We were walking through beautiful arbors with vines full of big green leaves and huge red roses with large drops of dew falling off them. As she watched this vision take place before her eyes, she told the Lord repeatedly, “This cannot be. He is too young in the Lord, too green for me. I’ve been in the ministry for over twenty-five years, Lord, and I don’t want to be deceived by Satan at this late date. He’s new in the Lord.” The Lord answered her firmly. “But he is strong.”

After hours of testing the Spirit to see if this vision was truly coming from the Lord, she put out a fleece and said to the Lord, “I know the devil cannot deceive me if You’ll show him what You’re showing me and make him tell me what You’re showing me. If this is You, Lord, and not the devil, and You want me to marry Tony Alamo, I will, if You’ll tell him and make him tell me.”

It was at that same time, when I was sleeping soundly, that the Lord told me, and later made me tell her. God gave me my vision. I saw, heard, and experienced the following. First, He showed me a vision of myself walking into the room where she was. I walked over to her without hesitation and began kissing her. I started pushing myself up from my sleep because I knew she was a holy woman. She was my Bible teacher, and I was afraid to do anything wrong before God. The vision was real. I couldn’t believe myself doing such a thing. The first part of this vision was in full color, and the second half was in black and white.

God showed me two golden spiritual pipes extending from Heaven to my heart, one downlinking Heaven into my soul and the other uplinking my soul into Heaven. One of the golden spiritual pipes pulled thousands, maybe millions of questions out of my heart. The questions came out of the depths of my soul so quickly that I could not determine what the questions were, with the exception of the first question, which was “Lord, she’s too wise for me. She knows more Bible than I do.” The Lord answered me back, “That’s good for your ego.” It was then that I knew that God was not a diplomat or a politician. He just tells it like it is and does what He pleases. The Bible states that He is God and that man is a worm,2 “born like a wild ass’s colt.”3

The second golden spiritual pipe from Heaven filled my heart with the answers to those thousands, maybe millions of questions. Again, the questions were answered as quickly as they were asked. I didn’t know what the rest of the answers were, but I knew there was an entire new power, wisdom, and knowledge given unto me from God. It was as though I was another person, a very special person with a very important mission from God.4

After all the questions had been drawn out of me by the Lord, and the answers had come down into me from Him in Heaven, the Holy Spirit, like rings of smoke, came down around me. Each ring spoke the words, “It’s true, it’s true, it’s true, it’s true,” while the vision changed from full color to black and white. I saw the profiles of our faces. Our profiles were like white hot wrought iron before a black background. By this time I was not only wide awake but could still hear, see, and feel the power of the vision. It was at this time the Lord started pouring what seemed like millions of miles of love into my heart for Susie, softening my heart, which previously was hard, cold, and bitter. My heart was initially softened at the time of salvation. I didn’t realize it was still that hard, cold and bitter from the world. Our white hot profiles started shimmering and came towards me, then went inside of me and imprinted themselves in my mind, spirit and soul like a light coming through a lens and shutter prints a photograph on the film in a camera. This vision burnt permanently into my entire being with a noise like a supernaturally loud telephone left off the hook, while the Holy Spirit continued saying, “It’s true, it’s true, it’s true, it’s true,” in rings of smoke around me.

I know now that when God, by His Spirit, pulled the millions of questions out of my heart, answered those millions of questions by pouring answers into my heart, and showed me by vision that Sue and I were to be married, the life of Enoch, with the power from God to accomplish the remainder of his ministry, filled me in the same way that He filled John the Baptist with the spirit of Elijah so he would complete the remainder of Elijah’s ministry when he became an adult.5 This happened to both the Baptist and myself because both Elijah and Enoch had to come back to die. It is written that “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”6 Enoch and his wife are one flesh, but they are two persons, just as Adam and Eve were one flesh yet two persons.7

After Sue and I had been married a short while, God gave me a vision of a mountain. I was walking up that very steep mountain. It was a clear day with a bright blue sky and lots of sunshine. I was strong. I was walking up the steep mountain with no effort. When the vision widened, I saw my wife, Susan, slowly walking up the mountain behind me with a lot of effort, as though she had very little strength. She was far down the mountain from where I was. The vision showed me turning around and walking down to where she was. I put my arm around her waist and began helping her up the mountain. The minute I started walking with Susan and helping her up the mountain, a very bad storm began. The fierce dark clouds were everywhere, and a terrible wind blew them fiercely down the mountain towards us. The winds were so fierce that we had to lean at a forty-five degree angle into them. Sometimes we were knocked down to our knees, but would always get up and begin climbing the mountain again. Sometimes it was so dark with the clouds that I could no longer see us. There would be a gray spot where I could see our silhouettes climbing, but then it would become black again. This vision was showing me what tremendous difficulty and evil from every satanic force would come at us in our ministry.8

In another vision I saw Susie’s silhouette looking like a geometrically shaped doll. All of a sudden, her body began shimmering and broke into eight pieces, four going to the left outside of the vision, and four to the right outside of the vision. The vision was then empty and gray. Then all the geometric pieces came back into the vision slamming themselves together with a loud noise.

In another vision, I saw Sue and myself in a spotlight which was shining down from Heaven to earth. This spotlight moved from one location to another. When the spotlight moved, our silhouettes stayed in the center of the spotlight. We were frantically reaching out into the darkness and trying to pull people into the spotlight with us, but they stubbornly pulled back into the darkness.9 Sometimes we would get an arm into the circle of the spotlight with us, or an arm and a leg, or even an arm, a leg, and half of a body, but they always would stubbornly pull back out of the circle and into the darkness. The spotlight moved to approximately seven different spots. The entire area outside the circle of the spotlight was pitch black.

While Susan and I were on our way to Las Vegas to be married, we saw the same lit up wheels that Ezekiel saw in Ezekiel 1:15-25 and 10:9-17. Today these wheels represent the activity of the Lord through His Church, His Body, His Bride on earth. Without Christ there is no central power of light and resurrection generating throughout the wheel of the whole church.10 And without His Church there is no Body, Temple, Tabernacle, Church, or Bride for Christ to live and work in so He might dispense Himself into other human bodies by His Spirit to make them one with His Church or Body.11

The flying saucers seen today are real. They are the angelic wheels of God warning the world to unite in Christ before the plagues, our ministry of God’s power, and His soon return to earth again, that He might have this new man,12 His Church,13 His Bride,14 His House,15 His Tabernacle,16 His Temple,17 His City, the New Jerusalem,18 and His Army19 to live forever with Him in Heaven.20

The devil has a counterfeit for everything that God has and a counterfeit for everything that God does.21 Satan has produced some saucers as well, saucers with funny looking impish creatures to make everyone doubt the meaning of the lit up wheels of God with celestial angels. Both are real, but only one of them is from the Lord.>

After Susan and I were married in Las Vegas, we used to love to walk and watch the sunrises in the mornings and the sunsets in the evenings. They were always beautiful, and changed by the minute in the desert. On one particular morning the sky was very clear and blue, with the exception of a tremendous stack of beautiful, pure white, fluffy clouds all in one big mountain-like pillar. They looked as though they were approximately seven or eight miles away. It seemed as though they were three miles high or more. Susan and I were holding hands, looking up at them. We were not saying anything to one another. We were just fascinated, and kept staring up at them. All of a sudden, without any sensation of being elevated, we found ourselves looking down at the clouds.22 When we were seemingly standing in thin air high above the clouds looking down, Susan asked me, “Do you see what I see?” I said, “Yes. We were looking up at the clouds and now we are looking down at them.” She dug the tips of her long fingernails into my hand, saying “That’s right.”

After a while, I wondered if we were dead. If we were, I wondered why we couldn’t see Heaven, the Lord, or any of the prophets or apostles. I began wondering why we were just standing there, looking down at those clouds. I began to wonder what were we standing on. I looked down to see if we were standing on anything. When I did, we were immediately back on the earth, looking up at the clouds again. This all happened without any sensation of descent. Susan asked, “What do you see now?” I said, “We’re back on the ground looking up at the clouds again.” She said, “That’s right.” Though my eyes have always been very bad, Susan had the eyes of an eagle. She had super vision. Susan and I have never taken drugs in our whole lives. It’s a matter of record that I have always been a health enthusiast since I was a child.

Susan has been a believer in Jesus since her early childhood. She saw Jesus many times and knew Him very well. She was healed by Him at the age of nine.23 Susan had been in the ministry for over twenty-five years before I was saved,24 and before the Lord joined us together. Since then our entire lives have been one supernatural event after another. God used us to bring forth the entire Jesus movement from the mid-sixties.25 This revival has continued ever since, and has accelerated up to this very date.

At another time I was standing in the kitchen of our apartment on Sunshine Terrace in Studio City. I wanted the Lord to confirm to me again the things He had shown me in the past. While looking out the window at the sky full of dark storm clouds, I asked the Lord to make the clouds disappear if we were the two witnesses of God in the eleventh chapter of the book of Revelation. Every cloud totally disappeared in no more than a fraction of a second. The sky became very blue and full of sunshine. I tactfully told Susan about this answer to my question. She had an indifferent attitude. Susan wasn’t surprised at all. However, she just did not want to talk about it. She stated, “Tony, no one would want the ministry of the two witnesses. Those two people would have to live a difficult life, totally consecrated unto the Lord.26 They would be hated more than anyone ever was hated in the world.”27 I told her, “It is not a question of whether I want this kind of ministry or not. I’m just telling you what I asked the Lord and what He showed me.” Then I said, “Don’t you want to know one way or the other? The entire church believes that we are the two witnesses of God.”

At another time I received a vision from God of an oval shaped, gold framed mirror. Jesus was sitting in the mirror on a gold framed chair which looked like it was upholstered in purple velvet on the back and the seat. The chair was maybe three or four inches above His shoulders. I was wide awake at the time of the vision.

Jesus didn’t look like any painting I have ever seen of Him. He was the most handsome and masculine man I had ever seen. He was not blond and blue-eyed with long, stringy hair. He had the same skin coloration as myself, which everyone in my life has always termed Caucasian. He had black, bushy hair and a gold crown on His head. He was a Hebrew, just as the Bible says He is.28 I am Hebrew as well. [My name at birth was Bernie Lazar Hoffman. I changed my name to Tony Alamo when I was a teenager and a singer in the recording industry.] At first I thought the vision had come for the purpose of taking me away with Him to Heaven. I cried out to Him with tremendous joy, “Lord!!” He put His hand forward, shook it, and said, “No, not now.”

Jesus began talking to me, but I could hear only bits and pieces of His Words, as if someone was turning a radio off and on. I couldn’t understand what He was saying. I was young in the Lord and was zealously building homes for the new Christians that Sue and I had won for Christ. Jesus was warning me to seek Him with my whole heart, soul, mind, and strength.29 In this way my soul could be constructed to the fullness of Him so I could win many other souls to Christ’s resurrection. His Body, His Church is the result of His resurrection.30 This was to be my task, not building houses.

At another time God showed me a vision of Sue and myself, showing me how we would look in Heaven. We were perfect. There is no imperfection in Heaven.31 Everyone who will be there is beautiful and perfect.32

Susie’s hair was long, down to her waist. She had bangs on her forehead and hair sweeping forward on each side of her head. There was a beehive pillar of hair above the bangs, and at the base of the pillar was a beautiful, medium sized gold crown. In the pillar of Susie’s hair were diamonds placed here and there as if they had been set by a master jeweler. When Sue turned her head one way or the other, the diamonds sparkled in an exceedingly beautiful manner. All Heaven sparkles and is full of beautiful living colors, colors we don’t see on this side of eternity.33 Her body was perfect, and she wore a beautiful, full length white dress with a gold sash around her waist.

My hair was silver, not gray or white, but silver and it was combed in a way it has never been combed before. It was in circles like the statues you see of Chopin or Beethoven. Our skin color was golden. Both of us were perfect. She was more beautiful than could ever be imagined, and I was handsome beyond imagination. Even Sue’s eyebrows were notably exquisite. Her eyelashes were long and thick. Her eyelids and her eyes were almond shaped. They looked like dove’s eyes, almost oriental, and everything about her was ornamental, like a beautiful, statuesque doll. My words could never convey one fraction of the glorious beauty of the children of the Lord when in Heaven. I could have gazed at every part of her forever. Each strand of her hair was so beautiful and compellingly fascinating that it could keep one’s attention fixed upon it for long, indefinite periods of time. Nothing is mediocre in Heaven and nothing, not even a strand of hair, is boring, but instead is very compelling and glorious. And everything is indestructible.34 Not even a hair on one’s head could be destroyed by all the nuclear warheads in the universe, because every strand of hair is as eternal as the rest of the soul and translated body.

My body was perfect. A starburst of light flashed from my eyes, showing me I would have supernatural, powerful vision in Heaven. Every movement was perfect. We appeared to be between sixteen and eighteen years of age, yet we had an ageless, eternal dignity and wisdom and this dignity and wisdom, as well as holiness, was visible on each of our countenances. There was a full assurance and a sense that we not only belonged there, but knew we would always be there, and that nothing could take away anything that we had there.35 We were totally accepted by God, our Creator. We were, as the Scriptures say, “Heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ”36 to all of God’s possessions, and we had full knowledge of it.37 I knew God was happy with us. He was thoroughly pleased with us for what we had done for Him and endured for Him while we were on earth. It was a sense of assurance and well being that no one on this side of eternity will experience until they are there.

I saw another vision. This vision was of an English bulldog peacefully sleeping in the noonday sun. He looked so peaceful, secure, warm, and full. The front part of his body was outside of the doghouse, and the hinder part of his body was inside the doghouse. The vision widened and I saw that the top of the dog’s head was cut off, resembling the top of a bowl. A full grown lion was lapping the brains out of the dog’s head. The meaning of this vision was the sleeping, apostate church [the dog who sits inside the church but whose heart, soul, and brain is outside of the church].38 The lion represents the devil, who destroyed millions of former Christians that decided not to serve the Lord.39 These Christians preferred being antichrists.40

Another vision was of a wild donkey pulling with all his might on a huge mouthful of long grass. Suddenly, the grass came out of the ground and the donkey fell very hard on his behind. This represents those who are hungry for the things of the world and in the end will fall into Hell.41

Right after Susie died I realized that the pastoring of the entire church had fallen into my hands. The news media constantly called wanting me to do interviews with them. I told the phone staff to tell them that I don’t do interviews with the unspiritual, unregenerated news media. The Lord told me, “Do the interviews.” I told Him, “How can I? I’ve never done interviews before. I don’t know how.” He said, “Just be yourself.” I said, “Just be myself, Lord?” He said, “Yes.” I said, “That’s easy.” So I just did them.

I never wanted to do television, so I prayed to the Lord earnestly to receive the ability to write gospel literature. He told me that He would give me the gift to write, but warned me that it would be confining, that I would have to stay in, seek Him, and study much more. He then told me that if I would distribute the literature, the church and I would not be destroyed. But if I didn’t write and distribute the literature widely enough, the one-world government and church would destroy the church and myself. This they would do first by their hateful slander and lies. He told me that by distributing literature, people that know Him will know I and my church are no cult. They will recognize that my doctrine is scriptural, pure and of the Lord’s truth and that all the things that the news media and government were saying about Sue, the church and myself were absolutely false.

Just after Susan died, God gave me a vision of one of the same things the prophet Daniel saw.42 It was a huge beast, more dreadful than anything I have ever seen in my entire life. Within it was every evil. The dreadful evilness of it was far beyond the knowledge of even any worldly person’s full understanding, and certainly far beyond the understanding of those who have been regenerated, born again of Christ’s resurrection. It was so dreadful that I couldn’t look at it for more than one or two seconds. I quickly pled the blood of Jesus against it and it immediately went away.

The meaning of the vision was that this beast represented the one-world government and church who are taking dreadful measures to force everyone into the evil of what they call law, which is the exact opposite of God’s law.43 This dreadful monster condones the evil which God condemns.44 This dreadful beast is a hype and is spiritually weak. It is made of clay and iron and will not last long.45 The Bible simply states that not all the people in the world get together with this government that’s built of iron and clay.46 When I said “the blood of Jesus is against you, Satan” this vision immediately disappeared.

This beast is shown in the Old and New Testaments as being weak where the Lord talks of it being “three unclean spirits like frogs”47 and people ask “Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?”48

Visions of Mary are of the devil. If you say, the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ is against you, Satan when Satan’s vision of the virgin Mary appears before you, you will see that it will immediately flee as this dreadful beast fled before me.

After Susan’s death, many Christians and non-Christians testified that they had seen Susan appear to them in visions and dreams, both when they were sleeping and when they were wide awake. Most of the Christians testify that they tested the spirit of these dreams and visions and the dreams and visions stayed, which means they were of the Lord.

A man had a vision of two newspaper articles, one from Oklahoma and one from St. Louis. The Oklahoma newspaper article showed a picture of Susan standing next to a casket with the banner headline saying “Fraud.” The article from the St. Louis newspaper believed that Susan had risen from the dead and had written a very positive story on it.

A man who was incarcerated at the Boise Idaho State Prison and had never heard of Susan, myself, or our church saw several visions of Susan and actually talked with her on many occasions. One day, after coming back to his cell from the noon meal, he saw a piece of paper with our telephone number lying on his bunk. It said, “Call Tony” and gave the number. After calling our number, he asked many questions. When he was told I was the pastor and he could talk to me, he asked me, “Do you know any woman that has long, blond hair?” I said, “Yes, my recently deceased wife.” He asked if I could describe her to him. I said, “Why?” He said, “Because the spirit of a woman of that description appeared to me in my cell with a wedding dress on. She told me to call Tony and tell him that everything is all right and that I’ll be seeing him again soon.” The man’s name was Arthur Hayes.

My brother Danny and I had not spoken to one another for ten years. He called me by telephone on the day after Susie died and said, “Tony, what’s the matter?” I said, “What do you mean?” He said, “Susie just appeared in a vision to me in my bedroom and told me, ‘Danny, everything is going to be all right.’” He said that immediately after she disappeared, there was a phone call from his wife stating she had just heard on the radio that Susan died. I told Him, “Yes, it’s true. She died just last night.”

Another man found our number written on a napkin in his house on the dining room table. Susan appeared to him several times. She was wearing the wedding dress that she was buried in and talking to him about the Lord. He called the number on the napkin, and after inquiring who we were, was overcome with fear. He wept on the telephone telling us God had shown him all these things. He described the church and all of our properties in precise detail. Several other brothers and sisters in our church, as well as myself, have received many similar visions and dreams of Susie coming back. And in each vision or dream she was wearing the white wedding dress that she was buried in.

The Old Testament prophet Daniel saw a vision of the two witnesses of God. He didn’t understand the vision. Then Daniel said, “O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And He [God] said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.”49 The vision that Daniel saw was, “There stood other two [the two witnesses], the one on this side of the bank of the river [on this side of the Jordan, which is the earth], and the other on that side of the bank of the river [which is in Heaven].”50 The river Jordan symbolizes going from this life into Heaven for those who are redeemed. Susan is in Heaven, and I am left here on earth. She shall soon be raised from the dead, and join me that we may fulfill the “time, times, and an half” chapter eleven Revelation ministry.

“And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto Heaven, and sware by Him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half.”51

The meaning of the “time, times, and an half” is this: The first “time” is from Daniel to the end of the Old Testament. In the New Testament “times” refers to the three stages of time of the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ. The first time is the four gospels which unveil Christ as God who came to the world as a man in the person of Jesus Christ to redeem us from our sins. The second time is when Christ no longer deals with the church in person, but through His Spirit, beginning with the second chapter of the book of Acts through the book of Jude. And the third time is the book of Revelation, where Jesus continues dealing with the church by His seven Spirits warning the church.

There are twenty-two chapters in the book of Revelation. The meaning of the “half” time is from chapter one to chapter eleven, the ministry of the two witnesses. There are also fourteen plagues. Our ministry is after the first half, the first seven of those plagues.52 The second seven plagues, the other half, come immediately after our ministry.53

The Old Testament prophet Zechariah also received a revelation, a vision of the two witnesses of God. He tells it like this: They were standing “one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.”54 One of God’s olive trees is on this side of life, and God’s other olive tree is on the other side of life in Heaven. The golden bowl represents the powerful, never-ending, resurrected life of God.

Of course, our church has known most of these miraculous signs and wonders for many years. They have seen, known, and heard much more than I’m able to write in this short piece of literature. It would take many centuries to tell it all in every detail. I have never received the burden from the Lord to write and publish all of these prophecies, signs, and wonders until now. But the Lord has commanded me to write, publish, and distribute them now, for the time is at hand.55 The visions from Daniel, Zechariah, and Revelation could not be understood until the very time of the end, which is now.56 The Lord has commanded me to warn the world that we are at the very time and times where Christ shall open the seven seals, which hold the seven first plagues.57 Immediately after this will be our ministry, the half time.58

God created the heavens and the earth,59 not this world system, this governmental systematic organizing of every human life. This worldly system is a system set up by Satan, not by God.60 It’s obvious that this system belongs to Satan. It’s obvious because of its hatred for the Lord’s divine ministry. For that matter, all of the ministries of the prophets, Jesus, and the apostles were hated by the world system, or establishment.61

The tares which Satan has sown into the world are the false Christians with their false churches, who belong to Satan’s world system. Satan has sown these tares for the purpose of confusing the world as to what true Christianity is. You will see Satan’s system along with the tares, the false Christians with their false churches, hate us the more as time goes on. This only proves the more that we are the two witnesses of God, and that the world worships the world system which is the devil’s.62 This is another end time prophecy fulfilled. The plagues will soon be upon the earth. Another reason that Satan hates us so much is that God confirms through us that the Bible is absolutely true by sending His plagues, by raising Susan from the dead, by giving our ministry power for three and a half years for the purposes mentioned in the eleventh chapter of Revelation, and finally the Spirit of life from God will enter into us, and we will stand upon our feet after having lain dead in the street for three and a half days while the entire world watches us ascend into the kingdom of Heaven on television.63

John the Baptist was Elijah.64 When he denied that he was Elijah to the Jews,65 he may have caused millions of Jews to not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour to this very day. They knew before the Messiah would come that Elijah must first come.66 God has let me know that if I don’t tell the world who we are, they will never realize where we are in time. There could be millions, maybe billions lost if I did not do this.

God also showed me how suddenly He will judge the guilty, unrepentant sinners. I was sleeping. Without any warning, and within a fraction of a second, my soul was ripped out of my body, pulled up through an opening in some dark clouds into Heaven, then slung back through the dark clouds, through the earth, and into Hell. There was no time to take a breath, let alone utter a sound; there was no time to utter even one word of repentance. I was exceedingly glad that I wasn’t judged and slung into Hell, because if there was sin on my soul, there wouldn’t have been anything I could have done to repent. It would have been totally too late.

In the Old Testament, in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers it is seen that God’s testimony stands on the same level as His Word and law. The law was written on two tables of stone by God Himself.67 These are called the two tables of the testimony.68 And the ark where the two tables were placed is called the ark of the testimony.69 All this was done by God’s orders. Therefore, the world is shown what the testimony of God is. The testimony is the moral law representing the desire of God’s heart as well as God’s requirements or standard for us.

God reveals Himself, that is, shows us what kind of a God He is. Throughout the entire Old and New Testaments we are able to read and know what His absolute standard is. We have testimony showing that when God’s standard was broken, the world was drowned, with the exception of eight people.70 The world can see “that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not [because they did not keep God’s standard]. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, 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 [because they did not keep God’s standard. They did not believe that it was necessary to keep the testimony of God].”71

“Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities [the dignities of God]…But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core [rather than keep God’s standard].”72

God never changes His standard through the entire Old and New Testaments.73 After our ministry, He promised He will burn this earth up with all those who refuse to repent and keep His testimony, His standard.74Thus saith the Lord: Behold, the high mountains shall be shaken and the high hills shall be made low.75 They shall melt like wax before the flame and the earth shall be wholly rent in sunder.76 All that is upon the earth shall perish, and there shall be a judgment upon all, every man and woman.77 But with the righteous, God will make peace.78 He will protect them as well as the elect. And mercy shall be upon them because they [the righteous] shall all belong to God.79 They shall be prosperous, and the righteous shall all be blessed.80 God will help them all.81 Because the light has been in them on earth, the light shall appear unto them at judgment as well. God will make peace with them.82 And behold! He cometh with ten thousand of His holy ones to execute judgment upon all and to destroy all the ungodly, and to convince all flesh of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed.83

Repent now before it’s everlastingly too late.84 The day of the Lord’s wrath is at hand “and very terrible; and who can abide it?”85 Time is of the essence. For your sake repent. Say this prayer to God now:

I just found out from Bethany World Prayer Center Chief Pastor Larry Stockstill that his beloved mentor and father figure Oral Roberts passed away on December 15, 2009.  Oral was 91 years old when he died of complications from pneumonia.  I remember the infamous 1980’s the downfall of televangelism and the ring leaders.  Jim Bakker of the PTL network was the first to go down in the finance fraud and sex scandal.  Jimmy Swaggart came in second duking it out with Marvin Gorman over sexcapades.  But Oral wasn’t too bad, his was just a wanna be spiritual version of Donald Trump building Trump Towers for Jesus.  it was in 1977 that he claimed to have a vision of a 900 foot Jesus standing in his kitchen commanding him to build a City of Faith Medical and Research Center that would be successful hospital. In 1979 he broke ground across the ORU campus for the City of Faith Hospital and it was completed in 1981, by the time the hospital was complete, the project costed over $120 Million dollars.  And thats when the Roberts’ family empire started to go downhill from there.  Between 1982 to 1984, the hospital is plagued with financial woes, layoff, and other staff issues.

Now here is the problem with the City of Faith.  Tulsa has a population of around 385,635 people.  Oral builds a gigantic hospital when:

1. Tulsa has over 6 hospitals that can serve the capacity of that population of Tulsa.

2. The City of Faith did now have enough patients of money.

3. The money that was donated to the campus and the ministry had to be rerouted to keep the hospital from closing earlier than 1989.

I remember the infamous plea that Oral made  on behalf of the City of Faith Hospital He built (Which was his own personal version of his World Trade Center in Tulsa) in 1987 that stated that if his donation partners did not send him $8 Million dollars, that “God was going to take him home”, notice that I didnt say “God was gonna kill him” Like Jimmy Swaggart Did, and Swaggart’s Roman Empire fell a year later.  Well The Roberts ministry got the 8 mil, but mounting debts continued to climb even higher and eventually in 1989, Oral and his son Richard was forced to sell their homes to cover the debts.  It was in October of that year that the City of Faith closed with the last patient leaving.

In 1991, the Praying hands that stood in front of the City of Faith were moved to the ORU campus grounds.  The City of Faith is now called Cityplex Towers which serves to house several call data centers and other business companies.

In 2007 Richard Roberts was hit by a lawsuit by three professors who were wrongfully terminated.  It was then that things begin to surface of Oral’s son misusing funds to support his daughter personal vacation trip to the Bahamas, and to support financial kickbacks to a Republican canidate Randi Miller for Tulsa mayor.  Lindsay Roberts, Richards wife had a flair for style, similar to Marvin Gaye’s wife Anna (See Here My Dear).  Lindsay spent the university’s funds on clothes, sent text messages on the companies cell phones. Even his wife and daughter Chloe had a taste for driving nice cars like Joel and his Escalade (sitting on 22’s).  Eventually Richard resigned fro the ORU Board of Regents, and he was also voted out with a vote of no confidence.

I remember going to visit My grandmother and how she had Oral Roberts and his Prayer Tower Photos posted up on her wall in her house the same way a lot of Blacks in the 1960’s had photos of John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King posted up on their walls for civil rights and the camelot / new frontier era.  Looking back on it its so ironic how she thought of Oral Roberts as a RFK or JFK.

I remember when I was a member of Bethany World Prayer Center back in 2000, and Oral or “Doc” as Larry called him came to the North campus, and Oral kept stressing his book Seed Faith 2000 which is a revised copy from the 1970’s version just tacking on Y2K Year 2000 to look good.

Also in 1985 ORU had a Law Center  and sue to financial issues all of the center’s assets and books  was turned over to CBN’s founder and 700 club host Pat Roberston which is now Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA.

Oral Roberts is gone to be with the Lord, however several of his ORU Apprentices , turned Megachurch cult leaders have in the words of the apostle Paul have left the faith.  Carlton Pearson started the doctrine of inclusion and his ministry went from 8,000 to Zero.  Larry Stockstill is building his own City of Faiths.

“A man who began his career saving lives, and ended up destroying them”– Robert Stack on Rev. Tony Alamo

Finally, After watching this nut for about 18 years from the Unsolved Mysteries story, this is one blog I can truly Nip in the bud….Enter Tony Alamo.

In 1991, I watched a story that my sister had videotaped from the TV show Unsolved Mysteries with host the late Robert Stack.  It was a story that was eerily too familiar with the Jonestown People’s Temple cult and the Branch Davidian Group.  The man was Tony Alamo founder / Senior Pastor of the Holy Alamo Christian Church.  At the time of the broadcast, Tony was wanted on charges tax evasion and child abuse since 1977.  Tony had many talents, he was Senior Pastor, Country Western Singer, Clothing Designer, and Convicted Felon.

Bernie LaZar Hoffman – Aka Tony Alamo was born in 1934 to Jewish-Romainian parents, he and his family moved to Montana where he worked at a newspaper office.

In the 1960’s Alamo moved to Los Angeles, CA and pursued a career in music eventually becoming a rock singer and recording producer.  He was married and divorced and married  to his second wife Susan Lipowitz in 1966.  It was also around this time that Tony changed his name to Tony Alamo and begin his ministries in Saugus, CA.  James N. Griffin, Former member of the church says how he was a drug addict whose life was changed by the ministry of Tony & Susan Alamo.  He eventually gave up his drug habits and turned his life around for the glory of God.

"We are the World...We are the children"

In the 1970’s Tony and Susan’s ministry followers and congregation increased and they enjoyed the life of prosperity and the financial wealth lavished upon them by the contributions made by members and tv viewers who were affiliated with their ministry.  The Alamo expanded their ministry to include a satellite ministry compound and a nightclub in Alma, Arkansas, where Susie was born and raised.  Bill Clinton visits the nightclub to see Dolly Parton perform and describes Tony Alamo as “Roy Orbison on speed.”  Members who lived on the ministry compounds owned by the Alamo’s complained of the horrible living conditions which they were not accustomed to.  When confronted about the situation Tony would tell the followers; “if you want to be where me and Susie are then you are going to have to pay the price like we did”. Punishments varied for those who disobeyed the Alamos. Penalties ranged from withholding food to beatings to being booted from the church. Those leaving the church were told they would die, go insane or turn into homosexuals.

"Yes, pray for Susie to be healed my followers, or you'll turn Gay or the Devil!"

In 1980 Susan Alamo was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer,  She died on April 8, 1982 at the age of 56 at the City of Faith Hospital in Tulsa, OK.  It was around this time that things got even stranger at the Arkansas compound. According to news reports at the time, Tony Alamo claimed publicly that she would be resurrected. Local radio stations made fun of the announcement, Elishah Franckiewicz a former member recalls. “They were playing, ‘Wake Up, Little Susie,’ over and over again.”

“As a child in that environment,” she said, “I believed 100 percent that she was going to rise from the dead.”

Week after week, she recalls attending prayer vigils, and even lying down and curling up next to Susan Alamo’s rotting corpse. “She smelled,” Franckiewicz said. “She was cold and really, really hard. She was dead.”  It was six months later that Tony had a heart shaped crypt built for him and his wife to place her body as a resting place on the grounds compound.

After Susan’s death, Tony got more insane and starting taking his frustrations out upon members in the congregation, the majority was upon the little children.  James N Griffin, former member explains a time when an 8-year old girl Carissa was diagnosed with having early stages of epilepsy, and she would have spasms issues.  Tony said that she had the “Devil inside of her and that he needed to be be beaten out of her”.  The started off with 10 swats until it got to over a hundred.  And While he traveled, he maintained a tight grip on the ministries control.  Any issues were settled remotely through the telephone by having his followers carryout any acts of discipline or order.

Tony would eventually lend his voice again to the country and western world by recording and doing duets.  He also started and was very successful at his  ”Tony Alamo” brand sequined denim jackets selling them for $5,000 each.  He would make up to about $60 million dollars off of the business. He eventually turned the ministry into a sweatshop.  Working his followers long periods and slaving under intolerable conditions.  In 1985, one of the members when to the Department of Labor and filed a complaint against the ministry regarding the issue of no pay and lower than minimum wages.  The Labor Department issued a judgment against the Tony and Susan Alamo Foundation.

When news spread of the way Alamo shamefully treated the workers, the jacket sales started to decline and people were no longer interested in buying the jackets.  After this the IRS revoked the ministries tax-exempt status and followers started to leave.  Griffin decided that he had enough of Tony’s hypocritical messages he says that “people were being used and manipulated”.

In 1989 two former members charged Tony with child abuse and he was wanted on the charges, becoming a fugitive.  The following year the members were awarded 1.4 Million Dollars in civil damages.  Because Tony refused to cooperate with the settlement, the compound was seized by US Marshals to satisfy the settlement.  It was this time while Tony was in hiding that he threatened to kidnap a federal judge and brought before his Alamo court, and execute him.

On February 16, 1991, Tony Alamo had his wife’s body removed from the heart-shaped crypt.  Tony took credit for the removal of the body.  He was ordered in 1995 to return the body. The Chancery Court judge stipulated that if Alamo did not produce the body, he would be sent to the local jail upon his release from federal custody.  She was entombed in Tulsa, OK in 1988.

Justice was finally served on Friday November 13, 2009 in a federal courtroom in Texarkana, TX.  Tony Alamo was given the maximum sentence of 175 years in prison.  U.S. District Judge Harry F. Barnes said Alamo used his status as father figure and pastor and threatened and threatened the girls with “the loss of their salvation.”  ”Mr Alamo, one day you will face a higher and greater judge than me; may he have mercy on your soul.”  Judge Barnes said.  Before the sentencing Alamo gave a statement praising God and stating “I’m glad I’m me and not the deceived people in the world”.

Tony Alamo's Tract Passing Goons

Interesting fact:  I remember when Tony Alamo’s tract-passing henchmen came on the yard of Southern University in 1997.  Passing out his tract entitled God’s Two Witnesses, I never forgotten the story I saw on Unsolved Mysteries back in 1991, at the time I couldn’t remember the Pastor’s name but I remember this was the exact photo from the Unsolved Mysteries show.  I glanced through the tract and noticed several false truths and blasphemous lies that were made by Tony and Susan Alamo here are some of the statements from the tract

• “Tony, God keeps telling me I’m not going to live, I’m going to die. I’m going to be gone for quite some time. After that time, God is going to raise me from the dead, and when He does, you and I will be the two witnesses of God mentioned in the eleventh chapter of the book of Revelation.” — Susan Alamo
• “The Old Testament prophet Daniel saw a vision of the two witnesses of God. He didn’t understand the vision. Then Daniel said, “O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And He [God] said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.” The vision that Daniel saw was, “There stood other two [the two witnesses], the one on this side of the bank of the river [on this side of the Jordan, which is the earth], and the other on that side of the bank of the river [which is in Heaven].” The river Jordan symbolizes going from this life into Heaven for those who are redeemed. Susan is in Heaven, and I am left here on earth. She shall soon be raised from the dead, and join me that we may fulfill the “time, times, and an half” chapter eleven Revelation ministry.” — Tony Alamo
• “The tares which Satan has sown into the world are the false Christians with their false churches, who belong to Satan’s world system. Satan has sown these tares for the purpose of confusing the world as to what true Christianity is. You will see Satan’s system along with the tares, the false Christians with their false churches, hate us the more as time goes on. This only proves the more that we are the two witnesses of God, and that the world worships the world system which is the devil’s.  This is another end time prophecy fulfilled. The plagues will soon be upon the earth. Another reason that Satan hates us so much is that God confirms through us that the Bible is absolutely true by sending His plagues, by raising Susan from the dead, by giving our ministry power for three and a half years for the purposes mentioned in the eleventh chapter of Revelation, and finally the Spirit of life from God will enter into us, and we will stand upon our feet after having lain dead in the street for three and a half days while the entire world watches us ascend into the kingdom of Heaven on television.” – Tony Alamo

Tony & Susan (Jenova) Alamo

What scares me about dangerous people like Tony Alamo is that these people still exists in the likes of people like Larry Stockstill and Benny Hinn and Kenneth Copeland.  The things that they do to deceive manipulate, and use people.  Con tactics they use to coerce people out of monies, investments, and properties.  And force to work in miserable meager penniless places and locations.  Shame on these people who live their lives lavishly and let their kids enjoy their spoils, while their members get turned away or BEATEN! My prayer is what Christ told those who were caught in the house of the cult “Come out from among them and be seperate.“

"We hope that you can join us in our powerful anointed service on Sunday and don't forget to bring yer checkbook!"

It was a year ago in November of 2008.  I remember sitting down at my fiancee’s house in Manassas, VA watching a televised documentary on the History Channel called Jonestown Paradise Lost, a documentary talking about former deceased cult Leader Rev. Jim Jones and his People’s Temple Congregation.  For those of you who do not remember or was too young to understand anything about Rev Jones and the People’s Temple I will take you down memory lane. (I also found a interesting video here @ youtube.  Jonestown Massacare Reel

Rev Jones was born and raised in Indiana, his father was in the Ku Klux Klan.  Jim’s childhood acquaintances recalled Jones as being a “really weird kid” who was “obsessed with religion … obsessed with death”, and claimed that he frequently held funerals for small animals, and had purportedly fatally stabbed a cat. Jim’s parents seperated in his life and he remained with his mother. He was a voracious reader as a child and studied Joseph Stalin, Karl Marx, Mahatma Gandhi and Adolf Hitler carefully, noting each of their strengths and weaknesses. Taking up Communism and attacking the leaders who stood against its evils.

Jim Jones was the leader of the People's Temple cult in Jonestown, Guyana. He later ordered the mass suicide of his 913 followers. November 18, 1978

Jim and his wife Marceline got involved in church ministry in the 1950’s and eventually started a church Called the People’s Temple.  He used his ministry to help intergrated the Indiana churches and help the poor and blacks.  In the 1960’s due to the heightened Cold War and the threat of Nuclear war.  Jones begin to preach his Marxist Communistic Revolution views from the pulpit, and eventually moved the church family to California.  It was also during this time that Jim’s messages and lifestyle was getting sicker and crazier by the minute.  Jim’s healing services were phonies and fakes, cancers being removed were merely more than Chicken Gizzards propped to convince people that it was real when it was a hoax.  Jim also had several affairs and was showing homosexual tendencies towards congregational members.  Jim’s messages were on his self-glory and exalting himself as a God and higher diety saying that there was no God and that “he is God” and “you are Gods”.  He was referred to by Temple members as “Father” or ‘Dad”, something used by the late Father Divine.

In 1974 Jim decides he wants to move his ministry and people out to Guyana several miles from the Capital of Gerogetown, Jim called this place Jonestown.  It was a farming agriculture community, and the people seemed to love it.  It was also around this time that Jim’s addiction to prescription drugs was spiraling out of control.  Members were getting disgruntled and because of this they were punished either mentally or physically.  One of the members of the Temple Christine Miller who stood for truth and justice was trying to be intimated by Jim through the use of a firearm pointed directly at her or point blank at her head.  In the end it was Jim who would eventually back down.

1978 was a bad year for Jim and the People’s Temple.  Word had reached back to the United States of complaints of members wanting to leave Jonestown to return to the US for good.  Jim was not happy about this.  The US Government got involved into the concerns of the complaints and sent a delegation team lead by Congressmen Leo J. Ryan and Jackie Spier and the NBC News team to report and investigate on the situations at Jonestown.  Jim starts spooking out and is getting paranoid.  He refuses to allow anyone entry into Jonestown, and later allows the Congressmen and a few NBC cameramen in.  On the last day Congressmen Ryan put forth a call for anyone wishing to leave to join his group.  A fellow Temple member stabbed Ryan and the situation was ended peacefully.  ongressman Ryan and his people succeeded in taking with them fifteen People’s Temple members who had expressed a wish to leave.  At that time, Jones made no attempt to prevent their departure.

As the Congressmen and his delegation and the defectors from the Temple boarded the planes.  Several of Jim Jones’s members pulled up on a tractor-pulled trailer and began shooting at the delegation.  Congressmen Ryan, Don Ryan of NBC News and his cameraman died.  Along with Patricia Parks Ex-Temple Member.

Later on that day in Jonestown, Jones had one of his infamous “White Nite” drills.  This time it was not a drill, it was the real thing.  Jim informed the members about the Congressmen’s death, and the rejected asylum into Russia and that Given that reasoning, Jones and several members argued that the group should commit “revolutionary suicide” by drinking cyanide-laced grape flavored Flavor Aid (often misidentified as Kool-Aid) along with a sedative.  Remember that lady I was talking about Christine Miller, well she tries to talk some since into Jim’s head about living life and letting the innocent babies and children live.  Jim fires back and tells Miller and the people that “the best testimony we can make is to leave this goddamn world.”

When members apparently cried, Jones counseled “Stop this hysterics. This is not the way for people who are Socialists or Communists to die. No way for us to die. We must die with some dignity.”  Jones can be heard saying, “Don’t be afraid to die,” that death is “just stepping over into another plane” and that “[death is] a friend.” At the end of the tape, Jones concludes: “We didn’t commit suicide, we committed an act of revolutionary suicide protesting the conditions of an inhumane world.” According to escaping Temple members, children were given the drink first and families were told to lie down together.

Jonestown Newsweek 1978 The Cult Of Death Cover

Instead of drinking his poison, Jim like a coward shoots himself in the head.  All together

The facts of the Tragedy of Jonestown November 1978 Incident are

• 918 People Died 276 were Children.
• The Majority of those who perished were African-Americans either poor or disaffected.
• African-American People’s Temple Members gave away meager retirements, houses, estate deeds, Social Security Incomes, Welfare Incomes to Jim Jones.
• A video on Children dying first - Escape from Jonestown: Kids First to Die
• A video on the Eyewitness to the Jonestown Aftermath – Witness To Jonestown – An Eyewitness Account of The Massacre

The thing that stuck out to me the most was how and the way that the innocent children were made to drink the poison by a squirting a syringe into their mouths.  When I think of those children, I think of those who could have grown up today in the present time to enjoy a good education, the joys of family and their own children.  But it was there in November 1978 that their lives were ended senselessly by a crazed, deranged cult leader.  Below are some of the passport photos of the Jonestown victims who lost their life on that day.

Fast forward to the 21st century.  We see how much history always comes back to bite us in the butts.  You have your ministries like Benny Hinn and the Larry Stockstills.  While some speak of overly giving and contributing to Capitalistic Campaign Drug Dealings, and fake healings and false prophesies.  All that adds up is one big NEGATIVE on your mind and soul.

Look at me fellow brother and sisters in Christ…Gawd has given his servant and mondate to take the gokspel into the world and if you don’t stroke out that check to TBN then FIYYYA is going to rain down on you!!!!!

As I look at the Blacks who get caught up in the megachurch cults throwing their kid’s and families funds away in these psychotic institutions.  I can see how much of a serious problem this has turned out to be

Please Continue To Give $$$$ Our Kids Need More than yours!! Your Blessing Is Coming!! Ummm, oh yeah, THIS IS THE YEAR OF BREAKTHROUGH, have more faith. What's Larry's other one? Oh yeah, Your money is cursed, give more to "Reverse The Curse" http://www.yfrog.com/froggy.php?username=hippofloat

Black people and other minorities, its time for us to wake up and realize the dangers of these cults.  We need to:

• Work on our own personal money management skills, stop supporting Capitalistic Campaigns and their lies and denials.
• Work on establishing and maintaining healthy relationships with our families, spouses, and children.
• Work on establishing future money management investments and skills to our children future generations.
• Work on managing the educational fundings of our sons and daughters for college.
• Work on managing and maintaining better black communities, and home environments.
• Stop supporting so-called Christian televisions such as “INSP” and “TBN” with its entertainment and itching ear gospels of foolishness.
• Stop giving away estates, deeds, and inherited properties and assets to people such as Hinn, and the Stocksteals.  It is these ministries who are trying to keep up with the Bill Gates’ (Notice I did not say the Joneses because they have surpassed them including the majority of you).
• These televangelist have become the 21st Century Bernie Madoff , while trying to maintain their exempt status.

A rule of thumb is that, God said to prove him in his word by honoring him by your giving him “Tithes and Offerings”.  God expects only 10% or the tenth which is where the word tithe is derived from.  God never said anything in his word about Capital Campaigns nor $500 – $1,000 lines for your blessings, or TV evangelist scams.
