And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. Mark 13:8
And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Luke 21:11
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? (Mt 16:1 - 3)
Report from Kenya - Apostikane (also known Maitreya) in Kenya
About 6,000 worshippers at Muslim Village, Kawangware, Nairobi, believe they saw Jesus Christ, in broad daylight last week.
NAIROBI (Kenya Times) It may be hard to believe, but nothing will move them, because "Jesus" addressed them and assured them of a come-back, very soon.
The scene was at the Church of Bethlehem,
where Mary Sinaida Akatsa conducts miracle prayers, praying for
the sick, the blind, cripples, mad people, the barren and others
facing all sorts of personal problems. On Saturday 4 June 1988 a
big, bright star was sighted above the skies by worshippers. It
was unusually brighter than ordinary stars. The time was 1 p.m.
But on Saturday 11 June it was different. Worshipers were busy singing Mungu ni Mwema, a popular Swahili hymn, when Mary Akatsa interjected. She announced that God had spoken to her and told her to "await a miracle because a very important guest would be coming to give her a very vital message." People 'braced themselves for the unknown' while others stared blankly at her, their mouths agape with awe andbewilderment.
Five minutes later, she asked those who were singing and dancing to stop as the long-awaited message had arrived. "Jesus! Jesus! Jesus of Nazareth!" went the loud whispers from the crowd as they raised up their hands in submission and divine welcome.
The tall figure of a barefooted, white-robed and bearded man appeared from nowhere and stood in the middle of the crowd. He was walking slowly towards the new church building away from the tent. Mary walked with him, side by side.
She tried to explain that 20 cripples had managed to walk again a few minutes ago because of the day's blessings. But nobody, except perhaps a few, heard this. They were busy talking to "The Lord". I looked at my watch. It was 4.15 pm. Her voice was drowned by cries and loud moans of "Jesus! Jesu. Yeeesu! You have come. Welcome Jeesus! Wash our sins. Help us Jeesus!" For many, it was the last prayer. It appeared to them the "Son of Man" had at last fulfilled His promise of coming back to earth. They knelt down in emotional prayers in a frantic effort to save their souls at the 11th hour. A man lying near to me urinated in his trousers. But I stared back at the stranger in the meeting without blinking. Strange, sporadic light wafted on top of his turbaned head, his feet and his entire body.
The scene and mood of the worshipers reminded one of the Old Testament times of the Tower of Babel when languages became "confused" (Genesis Chapter 11). Everyone was murmuring something. Others were flat on the ground weeping uncontrollably in praise and worship, in total submission to the occasion. Mama Akatsa appealed for calm. But it was difficult. The "Holy Spirit" had descended. Yes, the vice and crime-infested slums of Kawangware had been transformed into 'a holy ground'. The man whispered something to Akatsa for about two minutes. She later informed the crowd that the strange man would address them.
In clear Swahili, which had no traces of accent, the strange man announced that the people of Kenya were blessed, especially those who had gathered at the venue that afternoon. He said Mary had an important mission to unify people of all races and tribes under the umbrella of God through Jesus.
"I implore you kindly to steadfastly hold on to your faith as the world will be no more. We are nearing the time for the reign of heaven. But before that I shall come back and bring a bucketful of blessings for all of you. Please respect Mary as she is a true representative of 'The Most High' ", the man said and reminded the crowd to live to the teachings of the Bible.
As the strange man was about to leave, two women left their seats and surged forward to where the man and Mary stood. They advanced towards him on their knees, tears streaming down their cheeks. "Shetani Rhihswaah!" the man told the two, and down to the ground they went with a thud, as the ancient Hebrew curse word sent echoes everywhere. The word was used 2,000 years ago to rebuke demons and evil spirits.
It took the crowd nearly 20 minutes to recover after the man left the meeting in a car belonging to a Mr. Gurnam Singh, who offered to give him a lift. But it will probably take Mr. Singh his lifetime to recover from the shock he got two minutes later. On reaching the bus terminus for KBS Route No 56, the man informed Mr. Singh to stop the car as he wanted to alight and head for heaven. On getting out, he did not ascend. He walked a few paces beside the road and simply vanished into thin air. Several people who witnessed this were astonished by his mysterious disappearance.
A few minutes later, a worried Mr. Singh came back panting like a cross-channel swimmer accompanied by a group of people from the bus stage, and narrated the strange development. Mary assured the meeting that "Jesus" had gone to heaven.
What baffled many was that Mary, while addressing the crowd in the presence of the strange man, had said the light drizzle being experienced then was to signify the presence of "Jesus". She had also announced that there would be a heavy downpour later to signify that "Jesus" was back in his "Heavenly Throne". And, as sure as hell, the rains came. There were floods all over town that evening that caught people unawares. Later, many were reluctant to leave the religious venue and had to be convinced to do so.
Back at Uhuru Park, Rev. Bonnke was promising thousands of worshippers and millions of listeners during a live TV and radio transmission that God had, on Thursday, informed him that they would experience the presence of Jesus and great miracles on Saturday. Jesus did indeed come to Nairobi but in a different venue.
There is always a 'resident' photographer at Mary Akatsa's meetings. He takes snapshots of various episodes and later sells them to worshipers at Shs10 each. In the past, when bright stars appeared in broad daylight above Kawangware, there were only clouds and the blue sky in the photos he had taken.
But this time, the photographer, known as Francis Kaburu, managed to take about six snapshots of the strange man, successfully. It is alleged that this may have been a hoax, after all. Already, reports have it that the person cited was a "Jinn" or a mysterious spirit, hence his mysterious disappearance.
But Mary Akatsa discounts this contention: "This was Our Lord. He promised in the Bible to come back in different forms ... In any event he was born of a woman and lived on earth", she said later. And the thousands who witnessed the episode concur with her entirely.
Mr Tofias Onyango, a Nairobi lawyer, is currently busy writing a book on Mary Akatsa's miracles. He was within the church compound when "Jesus" came but inside a room 100 yards away from where the action was, preparing his manuscript. "So far, the only thing I have been able to witness is a bright star during daylight", he says, and laments that he missed the "big miracle".

"APOSTIKANE"--
666, THE MARK, NUMBER, OR NAME OF THE BEAST
by Alex Cuppett, MSGT, Action Officer, Joint Chiefs of Staff (Ret.)
edited by Prof. Tom Mack
"APOSTIKANE" --- The following is a rewrite of, "666-THE MARK, NAME, NUMBER OF THE BEAST", a End-Times Foundations Newsletter I wrote on Feb 15, 1988. I'll quote, paraphrase, and/or make some additions to it as and/or where it is appropriate. I shall "rehearse the [entire] matter . . . from the beginning by order. . . as Peter did in his defense of going to Cornelius' house; and by the way, he took six men, plus himself, which made SEVEN!:
30 May 1998 - Late update!: On 5 May 98, while in Houston, TX, a man named "John" told me his friend, "Ray", had been in Saudi Arabia doing 'Airframe & Powerplant' [aircraft] consulting work for the Saudi royal family, when a man named "Apostikane" flew in and asked for some work to be done on his plane. Apostikane later told Ray he would soon be in California, and for Ray to drop by "a large rancho", a hundred or so miles from Los Angeles, California. When Ray visited the estate in the desert, after passing through three levels of security, he found Apostikane, in a group setting, "laying hands" on people and healing them! Somewhat confused by what he saw, Ray was told by Apostikane, "Just trust me, trust me". Ray then asked, "Well are you the one to come"... and again he was told, "Just trust me".
Furthermore, on 17 May 98 there was an obscure short-wave radio report of, "miracles being performed on May 14th in Jordan", by some "Christian"! Is the stage being set for Apostikane to arise in the Mid-East?!! Think! There'll be no Christian doing true Holy Ghost miracles in any Arab country with the Church in the spiritual shape it's now, in 1998!! Moreover, in 1992 it was inconceivable that the modern "last days" world would not have an electronic ID system, wherein it would not require "verbally confessing" a "name" to buy or sell, as alluded to in Rev 13 (i.e., "..that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." However, in the light of the Y2K computer glitch of 1 Jan 2000, teaching people to say a "name" correctly, in order to get food is now quite plausible! Right? [Note: Also, on the Prophecy Club tour I was told by an individual in Odessa TX, who has a close relative who works in the San Francisco-Oakland wharf area, who personally witnessed a cargo crane drop a large container [while unloading an Asian-registered ship] onto the dock; which broke open revealing what were smallish-sized guillotines; probably spring-loaded/powered, by/with the same mechanical principle found on a compound hunting bow! Remember, the electricity may be out everywhere.]
At 1:02 A.M., 2/16/88, the day I was to mail this Newsletter, and after praying for over an hour for a confirmation scripture, this is what the Lord showed me! I might add that at this precise time the most indescribable peace came over me, just like the day I got saved at 12:30 AM on 5 Jan 1969; I've only experienced it twice in my entire life. Anyhow, my Bible then "fell open" to these verses! "Little, children, it is the last time: as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now there are many antichrists; whereby ye may know it is the last time..I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." (1 John 2: v. 18,21,22-KJV). As with scores of letters previous to this one (like about 100 to Jimmy Swaggart, in which I tried to warn him to stop ignorantly [and Jesuit-inspired] "despising" God's word on national TV, or he'd self destruct), all of which I had held overnight waiting for a scripture, I placed the above 1 John verse(s) on the top of the newsletter.
In about 1971, Satan's best known prophetess, let's call her "Jeanie", stated that on 2/5/62 a boy was born in the "Mid-East" who would bring peace to the world. The reporting of this particular date has since been confirmed in the mouth of two other Christians. All revelation from God will come at the mouth of "two or three witnesses" (Matt 18:16 and 2 Corinthians 13:1). That prophetic statement was craftily designed and directed by Satan to deliver the world up to the antichrist some 20-plus years later. Antichrist would have to be over 30 to be a "Rabbi", and he's 30 years old now (1992). If he is to imitate Christ, his age will be a significant issue.
On July 16, 1987, at a meeting of the Dean Burgeon Society, (A group dedicated to the preservation of the Holy Bible's (KJV) TRUE Hebrew/Greek texts) one of the speakers, a Rev Hollowood, noted that the New Age movement had stashed a fellow away in England. This guy, he said, was a Jew, born in Syria, and his name is (and I spelled it phonetically as he pronounced it) "Apokostani". Please note that an ad was run in many US newspapers a few years back (see Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, by Constance Cumby) stating, "The Christ is Come"; to a city in "Europe" no less. Additionally, an evangelist recently mentioned a male Syrian-born Jew in Europe who fits the description.
On 9/22/87, in Hessich-Oldendorf, Germany, I met a Christian U.S. Army Sergeant Major who ticked my memory as we happened to be talking about the New Age Movement. That evening, after praying for about 2 hours, the Spirit of God prompted me to write out the name I had heard in July. I wrote out "APOSTIKANI", not 'Apokostani' as I had written on my Bible flap in July. -- Using a 6-based key and algorithm combination I began to tally the "number of the name" with English. It didn't work out to 666! I knew I'd had a revelation so I asked the Lord the next evening what went wrong? As I asked the Lord and was praying the next morning the Spirit said, "Greek alphabet"! Having been stationed in Greece, and having learned 5 languages, including Greek, I tallied the letters with the Greek alphabet. Only the correct spelling will tally as it is a cryptogram. Here's the result:
2A=1x6=6; B=2x6=12; [gamma] =3x6=18; [delta] =4x6=24; E=5x6=3-; Z=6x6=36; H=7x6=42; [theta] =8x6=48,; I=9x6=54; K=10x6=60; [lambda] =11x6=66; M=12x6=72; N=13x6=78; [xi] =14x6=84, O=15x6=90; [pi] (the transliterated English P)=16x6=96; P (the English R)=17x6=102; [sigma] (the English S)=18x6=108; and finally, T=19x6=114. You don't need the remaining 5 Greek letters to calculate the cryptogram, which totals the "number of his name"(Rev 13:12-13). Preachers have been saying for years that the antichrist is somewhere on the earth, so it shouldn't be surprising if the Lord gives somebody "his name"; seeing how he says in Amos 3:7 he revealeth his secret "unto his servants the prophets". Note: Nobody has come up with a 666 for this phony "Lord Maitreya" guy. He's a decoy only "Christians" know about! Beware, he is "a set up", along with the "pre-tribulation rapture" bit.
Most misinformed Christians are probably thinking, "So what, Christians are not going to be around when antichrist comes". Well you'd better get a King James Version Bible (order one below) and read 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4, because saint, you're going to see him revealed! Moreover, "Rapture" comes from a LATIN word, raptura! Beware of the deceitful, Latin-speaking "Church Organizations"! Anyhow let's add up the Greek letters:
A=6 [pi]=96 O=90 [sigma]=108 T=114 I=54 K=60 A=6 N=78 I=54 = 666
NOTE: The English transliteration, using an English alphabet key and algorithm will reflect the English spelling as follows: APOSTIKANE. The "NE" suffix adds plurality to the word, as in antenna/antennae. Hence, the English spelling will also denote plurality of being. Furthermore, using the key and algorithm in English will also total 666. Expect English language newspapers to reflect the spelling "APOSTIKANE." (See the note after the post script, as to how I got the English version.)
The word apostatis in modern Greek means 'apostate'. Thus the name should mean "the Apostate", however, the ni serves as a "pluralizing" suffix. That would give us "The Apostates" or "Apostate Ones", and that's exactly what the devil and this guy represent, for Satan is the greatest apostate of all time! This unholy triumvirate (Satan's substitute for the "Godhead") will be Satan, the anti-Christ, and the False Prophet!
On February 4, 1988, one of the most dynamic Christian ladies I have seen in any church in years, a member of my weekly Bible class, breathlessly called me on the phone at work in the Pentagon. She related having a vivid dream that very morning. Debbie is an ex-Catholic, and gloriously saved and delivered from Romanism. She is not a deluded Charismatic but a true Pentecostal by experience; and uses the REAL word of God, the KJV! Her dream had revealed SEVEN of us class members visiting the CATHOLIC church she was raised in; and she named all seven of us. In a big room next to the sanctuary, on a big TV screen, was a man teaching the viewers, listeners, and/or followers, whichever the case, to say a particular word. As the camcorder focused on the man's mouth as he annunciated the word, across the screen in a progressing subtitle was scripted the name being pronounced; thus, showing the people how to say it correctly. She asked me if I could guess the word on the screen. "No", I said. "APOSTIKANI", she blurted on the phone! She further saw APOSTIKANI, wearing a flowing white cape, ride out of a windblown, sandy, desert-like area on a white horse. Isn't that a perfect picture of Antichrist coming out of a Mid-eastern country? Syria?
Why would the world be taught to say the name? Well, we are commanded to ask the Father in the name of Jesus if we want something from God. So if Antichrist is to deceptively duplicate Christ, and if the world wants to receive their goodies, etc., if they haven't been assigned the number or the mark yet, all they have to do is ask "in the name of APOSTIKANI", and they'll get what they need. And that is found in Revelation 13, -correct!! At the beginning of his reign, many may not have yet been able get the number or the mark of the beast, but "confessing" his/the name will get you what you want. Debbie's dream is theologically correct! [April 19, 1998: With the Y2K computer glitch coming, it might be necessary to "confess" his name at a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA) Food Control Center to get food! Think about it, but don't do it! In 1988, it appeared that only third world nations would not have the number or the mark; but The Y2K "crash" will change such "computer-based" logic!]
On the 15th of February, 1988, the day before I got the scripture confirmation noted in the second paragraph of this letter, I asked the Lord to show me if I was correct. He confirmed it on the morning of the 16th, and on the way to work a radio evangelist said the following: "If you get a prophetic word from the Lord, you'll get (1) a witness from the word of God, or (2) a witness from a brother or sister in Christ, or (3) a witness in your own spirit, and (4) a peace that passes all understanding. Well I had all four, plus the preacher explaining it that very morning!
The Lord showed me, by awakening me at a specific time, that I was to make THREE hundred copies of the letter. They cost THREE cents a page! I mailed them out in the month of February 1988.
Now the real shocker! At 7:10 A.M. on 22 August 1989, over two years after I had first heard the name, I heard a radio newscast from station WTOP in Washington, DC! On the news it was reported that one so-and-so APOSTIKANE (first and middle names I missed) was asking for peace in Lebanon! This is the first record of his name in the media. I have heard "Apakastani" on the Marlin Maddox "Point of View" talk show, since then. However, the 666 cryptogram computes only if the spelling is correct! There are three names used in his full name; first, middle, and last, like "John Paul Jones". The syntax of the three names, when they are spoken, is quite dynamic, and you will recognize it/them immediately.
Shortly thereafter, the Lord revealed to me, through a "fleece", I was to print 300 of the APOSTIKANE revelation flyer. It was done by a little Chinese print-shop owner in DC. He charged me exactly THREE cents a copy/page; and the flyer was THREE pages in length.
Why did I make special emphasis on the numbers "seven" and "three" above? Simply, because there is found within the pages of the King James Bible a supernatural numeric code which could have only come from heaven. It is called "Gematria". IT IS NOT NUMEROLOGY OR WITCHCRAFT! God had a numeric system long before Satan was created; and certainly long before the devil ever learned to count; or lie!! Three is the number for Divinity and seven is the number for perfection and/or completion.
Only one Bible in the whole world will count flawlessly, and that is the correct edition of the King James AUTHORIZED VERSION. (If you do not have one, order it below.) The "Gematria" code proves ALL other English Bibles to be counterfeits, and most other foreign language Bibles to be almost as corrupt as the English "new" or "revised" versions. It's all just a matter of degree. For example the Jehovah's Witness Bible, the New World Translation (NWT), and the New International Version (NIV), match in concept almost word for word. For additional proof, look at the KJV Page.
God has preserved his word per Psalm 12:6-7 (KJV), if not he's a liar. Your faith can be no stronger than the word which produces it. Satan knows that, so he wrote his own "word", which looks like the word of God, but is not! It would do little good to know the name of the antichrist, etc., but backslide from "polluted bread" (Mal 1:7) Bibles and go to hell. And that is where the Church finds herself today. In her midst, a famine of hearing the words of the Lord (Amos 8:11-12) is in progress, and she is not expecting to see antichrist revealed. Such beliefs are a sure scenario for spiritual disaster! Saint, God IS NOT the author of such a script! Satan is!
Well, dear friend, whoever you are, as you read this letter, I hope your eyes have been opened a little wider. Moreover, there is going to be NO Pre-Tribulation "rapture", for such a word is not even found within the word of God. The Lord shall return, and soon, but not until the Church is "with-out spot or wrinkle". The Holy Spirit warned me (and others) two months ago (Sept 92) thus, "Noah prepared an ark to the saving of his house". I have taken appropriate action, and you'd better do the same. Lo, I have warned thee. And you'd better ask the Lord about Luke 22:36!! Nine of the 11 "Christians" present had none. But TWO DID! Nahum 2:1 and Obadiah 1 just may pertain... somehow..... God has to preserve at least two saints, so there are enough to represent the [two or more in] "we which are alive and remain"; again, that's 2 or more, who must be alive, when Jesus returns! Otherwise God/his Word/his Son/the Holy Spirit are lies/liars from eternity to eternity! He's calling a few [bold saints] to prepare, warn, and thus save from physical and total destruction, the "remnant" Church!! "SAVE THYSELF FROM THIS UNTOWARD GENERATION!"
P.S. "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Psalms 11:3) Why do you think God put that verse in the Bible? They have been "destroyed" by about 57 "new" versions, now what are you gonna do? Order yourself a Cambridge "83 or 88 Text Bible"-IMMEDIATELY! Then read about Bible Numerics so you can PROVE YOU HAVE THE TRUE WORD OF GOD!! And rebuke stupid preachers who "gnostizize" people with "correct" Greek and Hebrew!! For a Cambridge Bible: Order below.
In April 1994, Prof. Tom Mack called me and said that when the name comes out in the English press, it would be spelled "Apostikane", rather than in letters of the Greek alphabet. Well sure enough. and lo and behold, if you do the key-algorithm in the 26-letter English language, it comes out to 666 also! Moreover, the "e" on the end of the word makes the word plural! If you didn't believe the above, now what do you say? Only God could control/spell-count all of this! -- END OF TEXT
Editor's Notes:
Brother Cuppett was unaware of the Vatican Enthronement of Lucifer when he wrote this. Therefore, he could not realize the true Satanic nature of the system.
