seven heads are seven mountains [of Rome, Italy], on which the woman sitteth” (Revelation 17:9). This woman is the false prophet, the false church, the cult, the head of the beast which is the Vatican, the Roman Catholic, homosexual, child-molesting church. Revelation 12:3 continues saying that these seven heads have ten horns. These ten horns are symbolic of the ten European nations that give their strength to Rome’s Vatican (U.N., New World Order) for a short period of time (the last one being Greece), which have united with Satan’s New World Order, or one-world government. “…And seven crowns upon his heads [these seven crowns represent the devil’s New World Order temporarily ruling over the seven continents, or in other words, the entire world].”1 “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of Heaven [The stars are the evil angels.2 Revelation 1:20 states that stars are symbolic of angels], and [the dragon, Satan] did cast [one third of the wicked and evil angels] to the earth: and the dragon [the devil] stood before the woman [which has the twelve stars in her crown. This (the woman) is the Bride of CHRIST, the New Jerusalem, which is the literal BODY of CHRIST here on earth, the true Israel, those who are Christians, never Catholics, which originated with GOD’S chosen people, the Jews. Now GOD has opened salvation for people from all the nations who will accept CHRIST as their salvation]” (Revelation 12:4). Revelation 12:4 states that this woman (the BODY of CHRIST) was ready to deliver her child, which was CHRIST. This is a flashback to the time when Satan, through King Herod and his army, was standing before Israel to destroy CHRIST at HIS birth and/or two years beyond,3 because CHRIST was and still is the KING of kings and LORD of lords, the SAVIOR of the world, HE who would de-

stroy the works of Satan by saving the souls of all who would accept HIM as their SAVIOR and authority.4 Colossians 2:15 states that CHRIST, “having spoiled principalities and powers… made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” These are the last days.5 The earth is filled with GOD’S army, and the air is filled with GOD’S air force. These are the UFOs that millions of people have seen throughout the entire world. Because the people of the world are ignorant of the WORD of GOD, they believe these UFOs are aliens from other planets. When we know the Bible, we know how deceived the people of the world are, because these “flying saucers,” which are commonly called UFOs, are not from other planets. They’re “the watchers,” the angels of GOD, surveying the earth just before CHRIST comes back to earth again. The watchers are getting ready for the Judgment. Revelation 16:1 states, “And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of GOD upon the earth.” In Daniel 4:13, “A watcher [an angel] and an Holy One came down from Heaven” to bring forth GOD’S judgment upon the arro4 Dan. 7:13-14, 1 Tim. 6:14-16, Heb. 2:14-15, 1 John 3:8, 4:14-15, Rev. 17:14, 19:16 5 Matt. chap. 24

gant King Nebuchadnezzar, who said in Daniel 4:30, “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power [instead of GOD’S power], and for the honour of my majesty [instead of the majesty of GOD]?” Here is GOD’S judgment given to the watcher to perform against King Nebuchadnezzar: “While the word was [still] in the [arrogant] king’s mouth, there fell a voice from Heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. And they [the watchers] shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the MOST HIGH ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever HE will. The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws” (Daniel 4:31-33). In Jeremiah 4:16, GOD tells Jeremiah, “Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities

From Our 24-Hour Prayer and Information Line Minister Wilimena Thomas (in Lauderdale Lake, FL) received her package. All the ladies in their Bible study group sat down and read “The Army and Air Force of God.” She said they learned more from that piece of literature than all of the ministers they used to listen to for years (they haven’t listened to any of them for quite some time). They all enjoyed the literature and are listening to the CDs. They said nobody breaks things down like Tony does. She said please continue to send CDs and literature. They want us to know they get together and have their prayer meetings, and they are praying for Tony and the church. She again asked to be kept updated with literature and CDs. She also asked the church to pray for three wayward grandchildren of hers who have been witnessed to for years.

of Judah.” There has been much wrath against the cities of Judah. That is because they still reject JESUS as being their MESSIAH up to this very day. I believe that almost everybody in the world is familiar with the millions of sightings of what they call UFOs (unidentified flying objects), but they are not UFOs. They are the watchers or angels of GOD surveying the earth in these last days just before the judgment of GOD, the end of the world, the end of time. In GOD’S mercy, HE is allowing everyone to see hundreds of end-time prophecies, signs, and wonders such as the watchers, GOD’S angels, surveying the earth in their so-called “flying saucers” just before it (the earth) is destroyed. The book of Joel prophesies this,6 as does the Apostle Peter in the book of Acts: “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith GOD, I will pour out of MY SPIRIT upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on MY servants and on MY handmaidens I will pour out in those days of MY SPIRIT; and they shall prophesy: And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the LORD come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved” (Acts 2:17-21). The watchers, that is, the angels in Heaven, and we who are Christians (not Catholics), are related in that GOD created both of us. GOD created the angels, and GOD created us. There are good human beings, and there are evil human beings, because only a few of us keep the commandments of GOD.7 First John 2:3-4: “And hereby (Continued on page 4) 6 Joel 2:28-32 7 Matt. 7:13-14, 21-23, Luke 13:23-30

we do know that we know HIM, if we keep HIS commandments. He that saith, I know HIM, and keepeth not HIS commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” Some people brag that they love the LORD. However, in their daily lives, they do not answer GOD’S call, but rather ignore HIS voice. Some say that they love the LORD only when they are emotionally excited. For example, when they wish to see a movie, or watch a television program, sports event, or music event, a sense within forbids them to go, but they go anyway. They know that they should not commit big sins, but they are unconcerned about what they consider to be small things. When praying in services, they may even testify that they are touched by the LORD’S SPIRIT. There are many professing Christians who are like this. Actually, loving the LORD in this way is useless.8 A certain sister may be so zealous for the LORD that ten brothers combined cannot match her. When she speaks about loving the LORD, those listening to her may be touched to tears. Incred-

ibly, however, when such a sister gets servant could see that there were more angry, no one is able to stop her.

filled with the sign of the SON of MAN. There are several scriptures which define this event. One is from the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew. Another is from the second chapter of Isaiah. Still another is from the sixth chapter of Revelation. Matthew 24:30-51 states, “And then shall appear the sign of the SON of MAN in Heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the SON of MAN coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And HE shall send HIS angels [the host of the LORD, the watchers] with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY WORDS shall not pass away…But as the days of Noah were,

so shall also the coming of the SON of MAN be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the SON of MAN be…Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your LORD doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the SON of MAN cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” The LORD gives us plenty of signs, so if you’re paying attention, you will not be caught unaware. Here is another vision you should fix your mind on, because this vision is going to turn into reality sooner than you think: “And I saw Heaven opened [this is another end-time vision from GOD], and behold a white horse; and HE that sat upon him was called FAITHFUL and TRUE, and in righteousness HE doth judge and make war. HIS eyes were as a flame of fire, and on HIS head were many crowns; and HE had a name written, that no man knew, but HE HIMSELF. And HE was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and HIS name is called THE WORD of GOD. AND THE ARMIES WHICH WERE IN HEAVEN FOLLOWED HIM UPON WHITE HORSES [this (Continued on page 8)

The Testimony of Steven Wedel My name is Steven Wedel. I turned 59 years old at the end of October, 2012. I received Christ as my personal Savior on November 4, 1971. I had just turned 18 years old a week earlier. If Christ had not entered into my life when He did at that time, you probably would have read an obituary about me years ago, rather than the opportunity to read the testimony of God’s power and ability to change a person’s life that you are reading now. When I graduated from high school in the spring of 1971, I had no ambition of continuing on to college. I was a pseudo-hippie. I hit the road to San Francisco, California, at first with some friends in a car, and then with my thumb out, hitchhiking from

San Francisco to Boulder, Colorado, and then back to California again, this time to Los Angeles. The mother of the friend I had been traveling with had a very large and beautiful home in Beverly Hills. She invited us to stay with her for a while, until we could find a job and an apartment to move into. Her house had a beautiful outdoor swimming pool and a maid that did all the shopping and cooking for us. It should have been an ideal vacation-like setting to enjoy, but it was the most miserable time of my life. I felt inside like I was completely lost and without hope in my life. There was nothing that could take away the constant confusion in my mind and

soul about the meaning of life and purpose. I felt trapped inside. I wanted a life with meaning, one that could help others. I was dismayed at the condition in the world around me, the corruption, the apathy, the crime and bloodshed. I wanted to live in a world of peace and had thought the hippie (Continued on page 6)

movement in California would have provided me an alternative answer to the rat race system all around. I had thought that smoking pot and hashish, taking LSD and other hallucinogenic drugs should have given me the insight I was craving for, into finding a reason for the life I was living. I didn’t want a nine-to-five job, a picket fence home with dogs and cats, and a nowhere future. I wanted to know what life was really supposed to be for. All the drugs did was rob me of any sanity I had remaining and left me with very little reasoning ability to do anything at all. I thought I was going crazy and without any doubt about it, I probably was. But I hadn’t been brought up this way at all. I had spent my earlier years growing up overseas. My father worked with the International YMCA in Tokyo, Japan, and we faithfully attended church every Sunday at a non-denominational church. I had always been taught we were Christians, and was always taught to be humanitarian, to help others. I knew that Christmas and Easter were special times, that they really had nothing to do at all with Santa Claus or the Easter bunny. I believed in my spirit, as most children do, that there was a Creator, a God who had made everything, including myself. I was taught to believe in Jesus Christ as the Savior, and yet I knew nothing about who Jesus really was. I had no power in my life, no strength to not sin, and really, looking back, none of the churches I had ever gone to had even taught me what sin really was. I had never heard the term “being born again of the Spirit” and had never witnessed an altar call where souls were being saved in any of those churches. They were spiritually dead just like I was. I was going into the tenth grade in school when our family returned to the United States. I didn’t want to be spiritually dead any more. All around

me people were “tuning in,” “turning on,” and “dropping out.” I began really searching for answers to the questions inside me regarding life, death, eternity, purpose. I read books on Far Eastern religions, mystical religions, Native American Indian religions, philosophies, books on people’s ideas and ideals, books on communism, socialism, capitalism—everything I could think of. I read the Bible, but at that time, without the Spirit of God inside me, could not understand it. I practiced chanting, yoga, walking through the forests, making sure to not step on the flowers, to get closer to God. Nothing was filling the emptiness inside. Nothing was working. I didn’t know then, but I know now, that this was the Lord dealing with me and bringing me to a place where He could humble my stubborn pride into accepting Him as Lord and Savior. He allowed every other option to be ex-

hausted. He may not have had to work this way with you, but He knew it was the only way to make me finally come to my senses. He had let me come to California to bring me to this purpose. He was working on me, but I didn’t know that yet. In Hollywood, California, you couldn’t go 200 feet down Hollywood Blvd. without running into witnessers from the Tony and Susan Alamo Christian Foundation. They were everywhere you went. Every time I ended up in Hollywood, while either looking for work or just killing time, they were all over the place handing out gospel tracts and inviting people to come to services at their church. They were full of the zeal of God. I was witnessed to about the Lord several times

and invited to come to church like so many others, but refused their invitations over and over. I was still too full of my own ways to listen to others tell me about Jesus. Many times though, in the still of the night hour, when the turmoil of the day had ended and now alone by myself, the Lord would start bringing things these Christians had told me back to remembrance, the scriptures they had showed me in the Bible about the end times, things that were easily seen all around, scriptures about eternal life and Hell that really made me wonder about things. On the outside, Satan was still pulling me around, but on the inside God was breaking me down. One afternoon, God finished what He had started in this string of events. I felt like something was happening in my life but didn’t know what. I found myself on Hollywood Blvd. again that day, not looking for the brothers and sisters from the church at all, but rather trying to avoid them. I instead ran into one of the witnessing sisters on a street corner that simply handed me a gospel tract and invited me to come to church that evening. I gave her a lame excuse, saying, “I’ll think about it.” She quickly replied, saying, “I would really think about it, because it may be the last time God is going to have anything to do with you!” Nothing she could have said could have affected me more. Just the thought that God Himself might have nothing more to do with me hit me harder than a ton of bricks in the face. It stopped me dead in my tracks. I was crazy, but not crazy enough to not know that God leaving me alone would be the last thing I would ever want. This terrified me. I was miserable enough already. I walked all the way down Hollywood Blvd. and up a side street that had many large homes and big yards along it. I sat down in one of the yards and waited until it was almost time for the bus taking people to the church to leave, and then walked down to where

the bus was loading up and took a seat. The ride up to the church in Saugus was quite long, but I felt very much at home. One of the Christian brothers had pulled out his guitar and led the whole busload of people in singing gospel songs all the way there. I felt very much at peace even though this was all very strange to me at that time. When we got to the church, all of the guests who had come up on the bus were invited to come in and sit down for the service. I had never been in a church like this before, one that felt alive. It didn’t have the dead feeling in it that the churches I had attended before were steeped in. These brothers and sisters during this service were singing gospel songs to the top of their lungs. They were raising their hands and praising the Lord. It seemed as if everyone in the church that night gave some type of testimony of what God had done in their lives. Some had done drugs like I had, some had not. Some were ex-cons; some were from the gutters and others from the blue blood of society. These were people that had been just as I was still—miserable and lost. Now they all proclaimed Christ as their Savior. They were no longer lost, but found. In my soul, I wanted what they conveyed in the service that night. I wanted that life, but was still unsure about many things. Satan was throwing millions of doubts at me in his last ditch attempt to keep me from getting saved. The Bible says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” At the altar call invitation that night, Satan lost his grip on me. I believed on the Lord Jesus Christ that night on my knees in front of that congregation and I was saved! Praise God! Praise the Lord forever for His patience and the mercy He had on me! I had been born again! I felt the Lord enter into my heart that night and will never let that go. Going into the prayer room after the service and knowing now for certain that there was really a God in Heaven

that cared for me and answered prayer was the most comforting feeling I had ever known. The price Christ paid for this was with His own blood. He died so we could live. He brought me to a place that night I can never forget. He gave me the baptism of the Holy Spirit about two weeks after this. Nothing could ever convince me after these experiences that God is not real. He is alive, and He is alive forevermore. He saved me and He can save you. I have seen thousands of people brought to Christ through this ministry since then. I have seen many, many people healed by the power of God from diseases and ailments they had. I have seen lives that were shattered (like mine) turned into productive ones. I wouldn’t trade this Christian life in for anything the world has to offer. Tony and Susan Alamo were the people God used to bring in people by the thousands from every walk of life to find new life in Christ. They both did this very selflessly. They have never asked anyone for anything in return, only that we serve the Lord. Susan went on to be with the Lord in 1982 and Tony has continued on in the gospel every day since then. He is still continuing on. I, and many others, are very grateful to the both of them for not only having the zeal of God in them to have the witnessers on the streets daily to reach out to others in need of help, but also providing places where people like myself could live a consecrated, godly life and not be caught up in the affairs of this evil world. Praise the Lord! If you are reading this testimony and are not saved yet, don’t wait. Jesus Christ is really the Savior of the world, and He can give you everything you long for. He saved me, He gave me something to shout about, something to live and die for. He can do the same for you. Don’t wait. Ask Him into your heart today! Praise the Lord, Steven Wedel

THE ARMY AND AIR FORCE OF GOD (THE WATCHERS)

(Continued from page 5)

is the LORD and HIS host, the watchers], clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of HIS mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it HE should smite the nations: and HE shall rule them with a rod of iron [the WORD of GOD]: and HE treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of ALMIGHTY GOD. And HE hath on HIS vesture and on HIS thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS [This is JESUS our LORD.]” (Revelation 19:11-16). We are currently living in the last few minutes of the end of time. All the signs are here. The one-world Antichrist government is in operation now. GOD’S airborne division has been operating for years, and hundreds of millions of people have seen them (the

flying saucers, the watchers, the angels, GOD’S royal air force). The Pope in Rome is bragging about how wonderful the New World Order is. There are tsunamis, tidal waves, earthquakes, plagues of all kinds, diseases, perplexities of nations, persecutions, and hundreds of curses of many kinds. You’re either good or bad.11 You’ll either receive CHRIST as your SAVIOR, or you will reject HIM. Choose HIM now, before it is too late. You’re just one breath, one heartbeat, from eternity.12 It is for your soul’s sake to say this prayer. Then be baptized, fully submerged in water, in the name of the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT.13 Study the King James Version of the Bible and keep the commandments.14 Walk in the SPIRIT of GOD.15 My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner.16 I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God.17 I believe that He died on the cross and shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of all my former sins.18

I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit,19 and that He sits on the right hand of God at this moment hearing my confession of sin and this prayer.20 I open up the door of my heart, and I invite You into my heart, Lord Jesus.21 Wash all of my filthy sins away in the precious blood that You shed in my place on the cross at Calvary.22 You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus; You will forgive my sins and save my soul. I know because Your Word, the Bible, says so.23 Your Word says that You will turn no one away, and that includes me.24 Therefore, I know that You have heard me, and I know that You have answered me, and I know that I am saved.25 And I thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul, and I will show my thankfulness by doing as You command and sin no more.26 Now that you are saved, serve GOD with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30).
