PRELUDE TO THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE


1847-1908
Dedicated To
Prophet William Saunders Crowdy


The world has been taught that God did away with the Jews when they denied Jesus Christ. But the Scriptures read: "Father, forgive them: for they not what they do" (Luke 23:34). Thus, the Jews were forgiven for their ignorance, and God had mercy. But the Jews had to be chastised; because the seed of Israel put the blood of Christ on them and their children (St. Matthew 27:25). Thus began the Roman genocide on the nation of Israel in the year 68-70 A.D. (Luke 21:20-24). And from the olive tree of the Lord, a branch of Jews were cut off (Romans 11:20-21). But the root, which is the seed of Judah (Psalms 52:8), was not taken out from its place: and the seed of Jacob was not consumed (Romans 11:26-27).


Now the crucifixion of Jesus and the desolation of Israel was the preparation for history to repeat (Luke 17:22-26, 24:3-7, and the book of Daniel). And with the seed of Israel on the brink of extinction, the Lord scattered what little that was left of Jacob and gave his seed sanctuary, so he might multiply again and have rest (Amos 9:8-11).


Now after fourteen hundred years from the crucifixion of Christ: Diaspora rose again. (Jeremiah 5:15, 13:19, 15:14) (Amos 9:14-15). And the seed of Jacob became slaves in the New World, which is known on the earth as the land of America: a land flowing with milk and honey, where old things are made new: as are the four world empires of Satan (Daniel 7:3-7).


Now in the year of 1847, a child of slave parents was born in St. Marys County, Maryland, of the name William Saunders Crowdy. And it came to pass in the year of 1893, William received a Revelation from the Lord God of Israel, to leave his place as a Deacon in a Baptist church, and to go forth in the Spirit of Prophecy to restore and renew the heritage of the so-called black man in America, which is the aboriginal of man and Hebrew blood (Genesis 2:7, 28:13-14). And William stood up before the earth as a Prophet of God (Hosea 12:13); with the Stone of Truth (Isaiah 28:16) to teach the gospel of Christ; and Seven Keys (St. Matthew 16:19) to open the house of Christ. And like one unto the Son of man (Revelation 1:13): and in the manner of Elijah (Mark 9:12) and Ezekiel (Ezekiel 2:5): the Prophet William Saunders Crowdy re-established the Church of God and Saints of Christ in 1896, as it stood in the days of the apostles.


And come see: "his head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters"(Revelation 1:14-15). Most people believe that is a description of Jesus Christ: but it is not: because it describes "one like unto the Son of man"(Revelation 1:13).


Now as a lion from the tribe of Judah, the Prophet Crowdy went before the scholars and wise men of the earth: and before those that dodge the Truth by re-writing the Scriptures; and claiming the Bible contradicts; and that scrolls are missing; and that the Bible cannot be taken literally; and that the Bible is not authentic because of the many translations. These are just some of the many reasons given to justify the controversy over the Scriptures. But none are valid: For the Prophet came with the Authorized King James Version of the Holy Bible as the evidence to the Truth and Light of Jesus Christ: and neither Jew or Gentile, nor scholar or wise, could stand against him in the Scriptures. For on the Authorized King James Version sit the Rock of Ages: and the Seven Keys that open the kingdom of heaven, which is the house of Christ. For there is only one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism (Ephesians 4:4-5). So there is only one God, one Church, and one Salvation. Howbeit that the Church of God re-built by the Prophet Crowdy is the True Church of Christ?


Let us Search the Scriptures with open eyes and common sense: for it is clearly written in Hebrews 8:1-2: "Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man."

So we, who are Hebrew saints of Christ, are the keepers of the true tabernacle of God, which is not erected by man, but Christ.


Surely there is only one God, and one mediator between men and God, which is Jesus Christ (I Timothy 2:5). And Jesus Christ is the mediator of the new covenant (Hebrews 12:24): and the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Thus, as it is written, so is it: "Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" (St. John 4: 21-24).

He who is prepared to accept the truth come forward and receive your reward: for all are called to salvation: and salvation is given for all.


Search the Scriptures with open eyes and common sense, and you shall know the wisdom and mysteries therein. For the Church of God is sent for seven churches (Revelation 1:20); which are seven nations, and peoples, and tongues; which are all the races of earth; because the body of Christ have many members (I Corinthians 12: 12-14). Let all come forward and be baptized in the True Name of the Lord, that Christ may receive you, and love you as none can: for what is good to a righteous man on earth is a hundred times greater in the company of God.


Hardened not your heart to the Truth, because it speaks against the will of your religion: for some are wrong in faith; and some in faith are wrong: but the gospel of Christ is pure in its perfection. For the Church of God belong to God: and the saints of Christ are all who love Christ. Thus, THE SEVEN KEYS do not belong to one group: but to all that seek the salvation of Christ.


Shame as it be: not all that call on the name of Christ, seek Christ, according to his will: so they call on his name in vain. For it is written: "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven"(St. Matthew 7:21).


Hear me, all people of the earth: all churches, and religions, and men: for I Cornelius, born of pure Hebrew blood, and anointed before the womb by the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: come before you this day, to shine the glory of God upon you; and to give the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, that the eyes of your understanding be enlightened, so you may know that my calling is the Holy Ghost. For as a young lamb of twenty years, I was called by the Voice of God from out of the flock of Israel in the city known spiritually as Jerusalem, which spoke unto me, saying, "Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee"(Ezekiel 2:1). And I rose from my sleep: and as I rose the Spirit entered into me, and became my mouth, saying, "Son of man I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day. For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God" (Ezekiel 2:3-4). And the Spirit held me up: for my flesh was weak and afraid. And the Lord said unto me, "But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee"(Ezekiel 2:8). And I beheld with new found strength, a hand that was sent unto me, with a book therein. And when I had looked upon the book, a third eye was given: and from it fell a tear from the Father, and from the Son, and from the Holy Ghost. For in the book was written lamentations, and mourning, and woe, before salvation. And I was given the book, to make it known to the earth (Revelation 5:6-10). And my face became the similitude of Jesus: and every word from the mouth of the Holy Ghost. And I was set on the earth as the Son of man with nothing, that I must first suffer many things. And my suffering was 22 years of ridicule, like unto the days of Noah. For many laughed behind my back: even in front of my face. And many spoke against me behind my back: even those closest to me. And I was a confused man in the minds of many: and "tripping" (street slang for delusional) in the hearts of many. But I shed no tears for the eyes to see: but put all trust and faith in the Lord and His Scriptures. For as many spoke against my actions, they knew them not. So I was not dismayed:for in my right hand is THE STONE OF TRUTH.

Question not whether you believe me: but whether you believe in the Scriptures. For if you do not believe in the Scriptures, then you cannot believe in Christ: so let me be of no concern to you: because you have chosen your end as perdition willingly. But if you believe in the Scriptures, then you believe in Christ: How then can you not believe in me when Christ has sent me? (St. John 16:7-16)


Am I not in your favor because I tell you the truth of Christ? Am I not in your favor because I uncover your lies and hypocrisy? Am I not in your favor because I offend your religion? God forbid: but if any man be offended by the truth, then the truth is not in him. So I leave him with these Scriptures, that they might have an effect on him:


Proverbs 21:2 "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts."


Proverbs 28:26 "He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered."


Proverbs 23:9 "Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words."


Proverbs 18:2 "A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself."


Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."


Proverbs 21:16 "The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead."


Search the Scriptures with open eyes and common sense: For the bread of Life and the water of Salvation is given freely to all: for there is neither Jew or Gentile, Arab or Greek, without a seat in the house of the Lord. Let every man take his place: and let the servants serve with gladness: and let the rulers rule with one accord. For with the third eye, I see no color of flesh: but the heart and soul of everyone. Let the heart and soul of everyone be for the love of God and His Christ. But to the un-repenting, and the non-believers, your judgment is found in the Lamb's book of life.


I Cornelius, Son of man, come before you without a building, and shall not build one: for the temple of God is holy: whose temple is the body (John 2:19-21, I Corinthians 6:19-20, I Corinthians 3:16-17). So the Church of God has no walls: but stand wherever I stand. For in the kingdom of God, there is no sanctuary, but the soul of one's self. But be not confused: for a building is a good place for assembly: but the Church of God is a holy house: and the footsteps of righteous feet. So I come without a building, and shall seek none: but will enter your assembly if it be the Sabbath day. For I prefer to minister in the streets, and on the world-wide-web, and in the homes of saints: such shall be my dwelling places.


Now hear these words: For I come in all the Spirit of Christ and with the blood of Christ in my flesh: but I am not the Christ: because it is written, "Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more". How then can I be the Christ, when I shall die by the hand of White Supremacists? I Cornelius, come as the sacrificial lamb of Christ, with the last will and testament of Christ (the Lamb's book of life), to condemn all sin in flesh with the shedding of Christ blood. For unless the blood of Christ is spilled again: we cannot be redeemed from our sins. For all flesh is corrupted in sin: and only by the blood of Christ can sin and repentance be remitted. So I come to shed the blood of Christ in fornicated flesh, and adulterous flesh, and sinful flesh: and as a thief and a liar in the past: so all souls may be redeemed. For I am not chosen because I am among the best of the flock; but because I was among the worse. For Jesus surely said, "The first shall be last, and the last shall be first". So judge no man: for all have come short of the glory of God. But let all men be cleansed from their sins as I am cleansed this day of March 31, (eve of the Hebrew-Christian new year) 2001. For as I walked in sinful flesh, I walk no more: for by the Holy Ghost am I redeemed to condemn sin in the flesh. So I lay down the life of my flesh for the gospel of Christ: because there is no remission of sins without the shedding of blood (Hebrews 9:22). So I shall not fear the beast; but give my testimony for Jesus Christ in the Spirit of Prophecy. And when the beast slay me, because I worship in spirit and in truth; he slay not me, but that which is dead already. For as I was a man of flesh before this day, I am no longer: but the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth (Revelation 5:6).


"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God"(Romans 8:1-8). Let all souls turn from the sinfulness of flesh, and receive the Holy Ghost, that they may walk in the sanctity of the Spirit: redeemed unto God by the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And let that which is dead be dead: and that which is alive be alive. For I am dead in flesh because of sin: but alive in Spirit because of Christ.


Watch and Pray: for with me come much trouble for the world. For these things shall abound in all the earth: calamities, pestilence, and strife. And the iron hand of Tyranny shall rise over all the earth, and Martial Law, and Coercion. And many shall betray the saints; for fear of the beast; and of the death he bring. And many shall hate you and despise you, because they hate and despise me. But hold your peace: for such is the hour of faith and patience. And worry not because my days on earth are numbered: for the twelve that are chosen to stand beside me are worthy to continue in my footsteps. So hold your peace: for I come and leave with the God of peace. And be not provoked by the demonic spirits that shall seek the life of saints (Revelation 13:7): and by the blasphemous words from the mouth of the beast (Revelation 13:5-6). But stand before your enemies in the peace of God: lifting up holy hands in prayer, without anger or doubt. For the Lord your God is at hand: and the Lamb's book of life shall fulfill the chapters of Revelation: which is Vengeance for all that were slain in peace for the word of God. And if a man should ask, How will I know when that time is nigh? I say unto that man, When you see rich nations in starvation, then shall you know the hour of retribution is nigh.


Bless it be the name of the Lord God of Israel: Holy is He: And let all saints from the flock of the Prophet Crowdy hear me: For sorrow has fallen upon his spirit as he look out unto your harvest: for what once was a Glorious Church, without Spot or Wrinkle; overflowing with saints in the tabernacles in America, and in the West Indies, and in South Africa, have now become unknown places; and misguided flock of little strength: whereas your harvest began as the salt of the earth. Hear me O Church of God and Saints of Christ: for divided have you become; and broken into pieces; as in the days when Ephraim led the house of Israel from the house of Judah. Hear me O Church of God: and be not a rival to me: for as such you cannot stand. Humble yourselves to the Spirit that I bring: for it comes with your own heart: and with a love for you greater than them all.


Hear me O tribes of Israel: the lost sheep in the land of America, and in the West Indies, and in South Africa: for I give to you my twelve holy apostles: and we are raised to set the so-called black man in America on his place. For we are not Africans: nor Egyptians: nor Muslims: nor gentiles in Christ. We are Hebrew saints of Christ, the seed of Jacob. And if we be the seed of Jacob, then Israel stand wherever we stand: because Israel is not a land; but the seed of Jacob (Genesis 35:10).


And if a man should ask, How did the seed of Jacob become implanted in these lands? I say unto that man, Diaspora rose again; as the four world empires rose again; and as the third day shall rise again. And here is the mystery of the four world empires of Satan that are found utterly destroyed in the Lamb's book of life: They are described in the Scriptures:


Hosea 8:1 "Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law".


Hosea 13:6-8 "According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them: I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them".



The first world empire of Satan was Babylon: whose symbol is a lion: and stand today as the Lion of England.


The second world empire of Satan was Medo-Persia: whose symbol is a bear: and stand today as the Bear of Russia.


The third world empire of Satan was Greece: whose symbol was a leopard: and became Greco-Romans under Antiochus IV Epiphanes (the origin spirit of the Anti-Christ) in 175 B.C.: for Antiochus IV slaughtered Jews greater than any Holocaust the earth has seen. And Antiochus IV built an altar to Jupiter that stand today as the Capitol (temple of Jupiter): look up the word Capitol in Websters Dictionary and you shall find the temple of Jupiter: research the temple of Jupiter and you shall find that it stood in ancient Rome on Capitoline hill.


The fourth world empire of Satan was Rome: whose symbol is an eagle: and stand today as the Eagle of the United States of America: THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH (Revelation 17:5-7).


Those are the four world empires of Satan: and we were subject again to the first and the last. For by the hand of England were we bonded in chains and carried off in ships to a land which we, nor our fathers knew, that we be slaves to the king of England, as in the days of Babylon. And from under the iron hand of Rome, Jesus rose from among the Jews in the tribe of Judah with a spiritual and social revolution in the name of Christ: that judgment be set on all the earth.



Hear me O Israel, the forgotten, but restored; the old, but renewed: For change cannot come without the actions of one: It is the actions of one that bring about the doings of others. And let the people say, Amen.
