The Sign In The Heavens
On 4 February 1962, the Sun and Moon and our five neighboring inner planets of the solar system (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) "were clustered within a 17-degree area of the sky"; the next day, there was a total eclipse of the Sun, visible mostly in India. Since the planetary alignment occurred in the constellation of Aquarius, some people believed this represented "the dawning of the Age of Aquarius." For others, it was the dawning of the percussion contributions of Sir Richard Starkey on a global scale. For Wesley Swift, it was "the sign of the Son of Man appearing in the heavens" (as prophesied in the New Testament Gospels). That belief is critical to understanding Swift's apocalyptic ideas and fervency in preaching about the imminent arrival of the Day of the Lord throughout the 1960s. (Later, we will find that Swift's "biblical" chronology calculations may have further pointed to 1962 as a crucial year in his beliefs about the End Times.)
In the first excerpted sermon below, Swift expanded on the importance of this "event," with particular attention given to a political struggle. The date seems wrong, as New Year's Eve fell on a Tuesday in 1963, and Swift delivered his sermons on Friday and Sunday nights. The immediate tone suggests a probable date of 1 December 1963, the second Sunday after President Kennedy's murder: "And now we see what has happened to Mr. Kennedy." Regular parentheses are interpolations by the tape transcriber; all italics are my emphasis, and my comment is in square brackets.
WARNING: If you choose to read the following material, be advised that these are the "sermons" of Wesley A. Swift, the original leader of the racist extremist group known as Aryan Nations. The content is offensive and demented, especially as it is presented in the language of -- and represents a warped version of -- Christianity. It is rightly classified as hate speech.
THE SIGN OF THE SON OF GOD IN THE HEAVENS
12-31-1963 [12-1-63 seems the most likely date of actual delivery-dwd]
.....Within a part of this measure would be the day when you would see the 'sign of the son of man' in the heavens. When this would occur, then we would find that all of the major planets, called wander[er]s by Enoch, as they changed their positions in the sky, would be lined up in the sign of Aquarius. This would take place with the opposition of the other two planets which he talked about, but which modern scientists did not know about until we hit the 1930's. Before this, they did not know that they existed. But he talked about them being in opposition, being across from the other side of the sign in the Zodiac. And more than that, he was told, as this sign was given, that in that day and at that sign of 'the son of man in the heavens,' there would come an eclipse of the sun. And this happened Feb. 4, 1962. It had not happened for 20,000 years and did not happen for 5000 years before Christ was born. And it had not happened before this hour. I do not think there would be any way to get to such an important time and measure than by this process.
[there's more double-talk here than usual regarding "planets known by Enoch but not known by modern scientists until the 1930's" -- as far as the scientists go, that would only apply to Pluto, but Swift seems to be speaking of Uranus and Neptune as "the opposition of the other two planets...being across from the other side of {Aquarius} in the Zodiac"; in other words, he relies on the ignorance of his "flock" and their automatic assumption of his wisdom in such esoteric matters-dwd]
.....On February 4th, 1962, you entered into the era of the start of the climax which ends in victory. You have already set this. But accompanying this sign and around it, were also many other signs of the approaching power and the completeness of God's kingdom. Already the mighty ships and structures of heaven are taking a mighty interest in earth, influences and forces surround the earth. And you are not alone. In the vastness of space and in the solar system surrounding you are the mighty hosts of God. And the hour is fast approaching when the challenge will be complete as it relates to the forces of darkness. And, yes, if you have any newspapers which you saved from around Feb. 4th, of 1962, you will note that in India, Tibet and the far off areas of Asia and down among the Witchdoctors of Africa, the heathen were worried about this configuration. They knew this was coming up. And their priests and their prophets said, ‘look out for this.’ And everywhere the heathens mourned.
Now why did they mourn? It was because they were afraid of that sign of 'the son of man in the heavens.’ They knew even as the ancient Veda had left this story in ancient India. They knew even as the story of the measures in the sky had been left in the star messages that Enoch had set up. The story in the temple of Zendera built in Egypt and the copy from the high steppes reserved in China...all of them were copies of the knowledge and the wisdom proclaimed. And they knew of the symbol of the mighty God of the heavens, the challenger of the Dragon and the Serpent, that HIS sign would come out of Aquarius. And when they saw the sign, they thought that the climax had come. They thought the end of the world had come for them. Some others, moved in great terror, sold their property and prepared for the end of the world. And every great newspaper in America, after that day in 1962, carried the story of the great fear of the heathens.
Oh, you say, “But nothing happened. They are all still here.” My friends, the sign and the measure took place. There was not a still moment in 1962, and there has not been one in 1963. The 'sign of the son of man' happened. That which Jesus said would come, has taken place. And it took place last year. It does not always follow that all of the signs in that measure take place within that year. But the foundation has been laid, and the events of this year and the measures of that year, are also very much tied to the conditions of that date, the tremendous things taking place in the heavens, the guiding forces until Christ, Himself, reaches back into human affairs.
There are a number of things which add to the significance of this measure. But we point this out. That the 'sign of the son of man' was in the heavens. This has also been an unusual year and the potentials have been quite clear. We have watched a lot of things that you and I are not necessarily proud of, take place. But the great awakening of America is going on. And as the prophet Joel expressed:--- “I will pour out my spirit upon my sons and upon my daughters.” And then the call which is referred to in Romans, as God calls for HIS people to awake out of their sleep and stand up and put on the armor of light and resist the forces of darkness. This sign of Aquarius of last year, was to be the sign of a great awakening of God's people, a moving over to the standards of righteousness and the positions of God. And not to positions of darkness. This last year, we saw an increase in what we call the right-wing in the United States. And also an awakening in all Christian nations as to what the enemy is concerned about. But they point out, it is the LIGHT. In fact, the forces of darkness made a semantics in the United States. They talk about the ‘EXTREME RIGHT AND THE EXTREME LEFT.’ But let it be clear tonight that you can never be too far to the ‘right.’ What is RIGHT is right. And you cannot be too far to the RIGHT, for the person of Christ is to be as far to the right as a person can go. I point out to you that during this year, we have gained from 14% to 45%. For the New York Times says that 35% of the American people are now influenced by the areas of the ‘extreme Right.’ In fact, the extreme ‘liberals’ say that unless they can curb the influence of the ‘Extreme Right’ then all of the work of the New Frontier will go shipwrecked upon this new monstrous danger which they refer to as the ‘Extreme right.’ whenever I see an ‘extreme left’ newspaper call the ‘right’ the 'rocks of danger,' I turn to the fact that you are living stones. And the ‘chief cornerstone’---Upon this Rock--the powers of darkness will destroy themselves like a ship being beaten upon the rocks. Oh, yes you are the ship wreck for evil. You are the ship wreck for all of the things in your society which does not want to get in alignment with the things of God. Yes, you have seen the 'right wing' arise this year, another portent of the great Aquarius sign. Before you pass another year, you will have reached 51%, and the Right Wing of America will again control its destiny.
........Just as the Kennedys thought that they won a great victory in the last election. They actually won a deep shame. And America has discovered how from the greatness of our height we have fallen in the last aspects of this year. Here was a nation which paid no tribute. Would give no tribute, whether it was pirates of Sicily or great Empires threatening us with destruction. Always, we fought thru to a great victory. And now to see this great nation capitulate to a communist leader of the Soviet Union in Cuba. It took 70 million dollars that we blackmailed out of our drug companies to get back the 1400 prisoners that our own President had sold into slavery. I point out that for this we are ashamed. I point out that apparently we treated Russia as ascendency. We also pointed out that the same influences around the President, who guided him, also demonstrated that we had not taken the Divine route. The scripture told us that we were never to acknowledge any power greater than ours when we stood in the positions of righteousness. If it had not been for the duplicity and the treasonous functions of the President of the United States there would have been complete victory in the Cuban affair. And free Cuba would be our ally tonight.
I think the L.A. Times had a very valuable illustration tonight. Here was a group of these refugees coming back who had been prisoners in Cuba and one of them was in torn rags with the echelon of Colonel on his shoulder. And as he came into the area of the immigration authorities who were checking out each one of them, he went over to the phone and called the Pentagon and said, "Where was that air cover you promised?” The thing which disgusted me was hearing about the wonderful statesmanship that brought these men back. I could not forget the betrayal which held them prisoner to begin with. For with the support of the U.S. Air Force these men who fought for freedom in their own land, we could have once more had the Cuban flag flying in victory. Or if that would not have [been] possible, the Stars and Stripes. And no one would have dared to touch it.
Let us point out again that in the climactic events which folded out last year, we could see also things which would reach over into the new ones. The influence of political maneuvers which would gain such strength for Mr. Kennedy. You know the 87th Congress was not generally a victory for Mr. Kennedy. You will remember that it turned down plan after plan. It opposed his education program and many things. But it did surrender one area of its responsibility which is most dangerous. For the first time they were taken in and they surrendered their control over our tariffs. They had surrendered in 1962, the power to the Kennedy family which would make them dictators over American life. It means that the power of the President in striking down barriers and going in with cooperation of the European market would put American industry and American labor at the lowest cost of production. Lower than the wage scales of Europe. Also this will destroy American industry which has no way to compete in this kind of a situation. This is understood by the masterminds who wage war against us. And they had added a Rider to this Bill, knowing that there should be an adjustment. This was the right to reach into the U.S. Treasury and reimburse factories and men who would go out of work, as this thing occurred.
Any time a man can approach such things with such a great vigor, it is a strange thing. When you would take in this great nation the move to close our factories and put men out of work, and then have to call on the treasury to reimburse them, that is putting the whole program of government on the wrong track.
Now I do not know how tired Congressmen can get, but they must have been awful tired that day. With capitulation like this we won't need any Congress. And there will not be any jobs for them either, because we will have passed from a Republic to a Dictatorship completely.
Now we point out to you that this measure has called for a tremendous amount of time. And they are aware now that this was a great error and a grave mistake. Many of them recognize this. The man that heads the monetary policies is a very brilliant man. And he sees a great danger in the program that the Bells and the Schlessengers are supporting. For this is the surrendering of all of the remaining gold which we have into a world bank depository...the handing of all of our money into the hands of a World Bank. Then their ability to take everyone’s gold in the United Nations and issue you gold and silver certificates to operate on as long as you are a good nation, a 'good boy,' and obey the world program. They can devaluate your money. They can bankrupt your society and control your will unless you surrender that flag and take the spider-web in its place. This, my friends, must not be allowed to happen.....
But when Mr. Kennedy was President, then he said, ‘we could not move anywhere in Asia without the permission of Mr. Uthant [UN Secretary General U Thant] and the United Nations.’ So if we go anywhere in that area, it has to be with the permission of the United Nations and under the command of a Soviet General. You know, I think a hanging bee would be good in these United States here at the end of 1963. I think we should hang every Red Agent who is in this country trying to betray us. Someone said that I should be careful for what I say, or they will arrest me. No, the Supreme Court says they can't arrest you until you do it.... [that is, not for speaking about something but only after committing an act-dwd]
........As we move into July of this coming year, then the storm cycles of the alignment will be giving the storms such as hurricanes, a great boost. They will start moving in July. In the areas of finance you will start the struggle in this areas. And every attempt will be made to get more money for the United Nations. But the Congress will be contrary and it will be hard for them to be taken over. Mr. Smith is a very important man in the congress. A few years ago, the Kennedys realized that they had lots of opposition from the Senators from the South. The 'right wingers' are those terrible people who do not want to go along with such a wonderful world plan. So they wanted to get a lot of bills thru so they moved to set up procedures for the Rules Committee in the Congress so that they could better manipulate the vote. In January, Mr. Kennedy had Mars in opposition, and it did not look good for Mr. Kennedy. And he did not get hardly anything thru that he had anticipated. In fact, we thought that the more the administration tried the more the opposition would grow. And now we see what has happened to Mr. Kennedy. The most evil thing they had accomplished was the carrying forward of that evil plan to disarm America. We are told that this is to achieve world peace. But the way to achieve that is to only have one power, and that is the communist power and in control. This guarantees peace because then you cannot fight. The President of the United States signed over control of our armed forces to the United Nations. This all took place within the last 18 months.
In the next year, they hope to consummate this. And this is the reason why the newspapers are talking about this great disarmament program. Every silly preacher who is in the pulpit at this time, and thinks he caught a vision, when he should be out plowing corn instead of preaching, has forgotten that he is supposed to preach Christ.
[ironic, in any number of ways-dwd]
The thing that they are talking about is anything to produce Peace. I listened to one of these men talking about the fact that Christ wanted us to turn the other cheek, and the way to do that was to disarm and show the world that we trust mankind. Wouldn't you hate to trust the devil for your salvation? The great strength of an awakening patriot is America, whether they belong to the John Birch Society, the KKK, or the Christian Defense League, or any other movement in America. God bless every 'right wing' movement and bring them to solid strength.
Let us remember that in these processes as we preserve our armament, we are preserving our strength. Now one year beyond the sign of the 'son of man' and we are to build up our defenses. Let us close the ranks and eliminate from our ranks those who would destroy. Impeachment was one of the measures. But removal by Divine removal may have been even stronger. The President did not come in under a good sign. Every man before him died in office before he completed his second term. I am only citing that in this situation the sovereign master is still the Sovereign Master. And don't you forget it.............
[Swift was evidently referring to the 20-year pattern of US presidents dying in office who were elected in years beginning with zeros: Harrison, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Harding, FDR, Kennedy -- a cycle broken by Reagan's presidency, which was no doubt a sign of God's favor for our finally going in the Right direction. Franklin Roosevelt died before completing his fourth term, 4 of the other 6 died before completing a first term; Lincoln was the only one to whom Swift's observation strictly applied, since McKinley like Roosevelt was president prior to being re-elected in a year ending in zero-dwd]
-----------------------------------------------
The date of the next excerpted sermon is also somewhat questionable. It is chiefly a complaint about civil rights measures, with Swift referring to some proposed legislation as the "Civil Rights Act of 1963." He mentions a "bulletin" dated 11-4-63, which might suggest he delivered the sermon on 11-8-63 (with the tape transcriber getting the month wrong). However, only one reference to President Kennedy occurs (lacking the usual passion given to the subject of Kennedys), in comments about an alleged program to allow Chinese refugees to emigrate to the United States, "as a part of President Kennedy's concern." So we should assume the date is probably right, with the sermon reflecting some fuming about things -- civil rights measures in particular -- promoted in the wake of the death of President Kennedy.
THE GREATNESS OF OUR HERITAGE
12-8-63
....Now the sacrileges, the infamy, of these so-called clergy who we describe this afternoon, as voices out of a pit. Anytime you try to downgrade Christ into the position of a circus clown, you have the intelligence of this aggravating, Satanic force which is in Christianity today.... This past week in Philadelphia, the National Council of Churches had just held a major convention, and they established a program, a ten-point program, which would purge all churches from racism, was laid before the assembly. And this was anticipated that it would be hard for all southern church members to swallow. The council officials said however, that an overwhelming adoption of the total action has taken place and they barred, of course, the objecting forces. And now 31 major denominations with 41 million members has now taken place and will now act upon the decision of the National Council of the Churches of Christ, in Philadelphia. But some of the Christian Churches as well as this one, will not act upon it. They propose that all National Church bodies and all local church bodies take the next immediate step. First to assure that every Christian church will be open to every individual, irrespective of race, color, or creed. And this is in anticipation of all functions and all acts. It seems that every Council of Churches will be open to all races, all colors, and all creeds, in all participation of all acts of worship or anything that relates to it. This, my friends, means that Hindu, Buddhist, Muhammadans, Jews, can move in and monopolize and participate in every function and in every religious activity in any Christian church, of the National Council of Churches for Christ. My friends, now the enemy can pack the hall and you won't have any place to sit.
Listen. That the churches must sponsor regular contact between Negro and White Christians thru interracial camps and outings, clubs, conferences, and meetings. But this is a direct violation of Divine instruction.
Now it must remove every racial discrimination from church employment policies, integrating the staff from the janitor to the Pastors, irrespective of race and background.
Now I think that is just what you would expect of the World Council of Churches. For they would pay no attention to race or background. For all are about the same. How can you function as a religious organization? How could you carry out your objective if in your employment was every race, color or creed? I do not know how a church would function. Especially in its correspondence, in its areas of business, and in every function of the church. For it is essential for those who work inside of the organization that have the spiritual capacity to interpret and carry out the responsibilities of their creed. Remove completely, any discrimination in any of the employment policies of the members of the congregation? How would you carry that out? Reduce Sunday School material to make sure that every youngster is acquainted with the fact that major Christian responsibility is to bring about total racial equality and absorption in order to have racial justice. Thus, this would cause every Sunday School child to be taught to violate Divine law.
Now let’s take a look at the next area of it. To integrate all of the governing force, staff and clientele of all church owned institutions, hospitals, orphanages, medical centers, homes for the aged, so that we can have second-class services in all of these places. This will see that all of the private hospitals as well as the general hospitals will be in trouble. Require fair employment practice clauses in all church construction and in all church employment portfolios, so that there will be no discrimination in any areas of investment and give financial support to all Civil Rights organizations. Most today, are Communist front organizations including NAACP and CORE, and a great number of these others whose leadership has been members of the Communist party and have been participating in Communist activities. But you are to encourage and support them according to the National Council of Churches. You are to support the enactment of all civil rights legislation.
We will not take the time this afternoon to go into every area of this, but the Bar Association has decided that the Civil Rights Act of 1963 is total subordination of every civil liberty. For if you have any normal function of American life, then you come under the function of this Civil Rights Act of 1963. If you have any money in the bank, if you involve yourself in any contract, if you have a car and drive it so that you have to get a license, you may be in trouble to get a licence in your district. If you are dependent upon unemployment insurance, or dependent upon social security, or if there is anything that will come in your future, anything supplied by government, to you, or by this same policy, if you own your own home and pay taxes there on, or if you are a citizen and are buying a home and a payment must be paid to a bank or if you do any business with a bank, or if you are a nonprofit corporation, or even a profit corporation, and do any business, then you come under the jurisdiction of the enforcement of the Civil Rights Act of 1963. All of this becomes enforceable over you, and can be refused to you unless you subordinate and submit to this Jew type of Federal dictatorship. The churches of Jesus the Christ should be the strongest in opposition to all of this Satanic tyranny, but we find the National Council of Churches coming out to embrace it, and to call for the actual processes of anti-Christ and the acceptance of it as well.
I think this is rather significant and we add this pattern to your thinking, and we add a rather new item --- 10,000 Chinese refugees have been admitted to America in the last 10 months. They have been admitted under a special rule without anyone knowing about it. These are refugees from Communist China who move by way of Hong Kong to the United States as a part of President Kennedy’s concern over 70,000 refugees who came to Hong Kong because they were short of food inside of Red China. So we started absorbing these by special arrangement, and we have already taken in 10,000. And there are many, many more. Thousands of them that are going to be brought into these United States. The unhappy reality is that the great majority of these people who came thru the Bamboo Curtain on foot. And after arriving in Hong Kong, then they come over here. And we have no way of knowing what their background is. Here we have a violation of American Immigration laws and undoubtedly a ‘fifth column’ into the U.S. in this procedure.
[always nice to see how different places have their own racist concerns, like fear of Chinese in California; and God forbid there should be any help during famines-dwd]
Now I want to call your attention to a most significant step. We have a bulletin here dated November 4, 1963, which states that the United States and other nations are now moving into the program called ‘World currency.’ This program of 'World currency' will eventually replace your currency. And with all of the solid assets of your country to back that currency will be on deposit in a United Nations World Bank. In order that we may help the undeveloped nations who do not have the gold and the silver, and thus commodities to back their currency. Thus a world currency must be created in which the ‘have nations’ provide currency for the ‘have nots.’ Under this program you will be putting in gold and silver, if you have any of it left, and the Hottentots will be putting in Elephant knuckles and empty oyster shells from their pearl diving in order that they might have new developments in their areas in order that we might modernize their ‘head shrinking’ with lesser specification. You say, this cannot come to pass? --- “Come out of her my people.” Mystery Babylon’s design for world conquest and world control continues to progress. And we are trying to warn Christian people and save them from the program of the anti-Christ.
-----------------------------------------------
THE GREAT ELECTION
12-15-1963
We received several letters this week, and we thought it a significant and timely thing that in the midst of the events of this week, such as the Sinatra kidnaping [the December 8, 1963 kidnapping of Frank Sinatra, Jr.], that Bobby Kennedy could immediately get all of the F.B.I. out here right away. It did not take very long before there was a mighty army of them working in every direction and they moved right in on this situation. But the reason why this was a part of the thinking concerning correspondence, it was not so long ago that Reverend Harrell and his family left Illinois to go to Albuquerque ... a man and his children and his wife. He was a pastor of a conservative Christian church in Illinois. And there were those churches across Louisiana and the middle states. This was a man whom God had healed from Tuberculosis. And he had then dedicated himself to the ministry. His ministry was beginning to bear great fruit and God had brought to his attention that the great enemy of the kingdom was Communism and the enemies of Christ were behind it. And he had the courage to start proclaiming this. He poured his fortune into his church and had turned over his enterprises to it and was moving into an area of great development. And he had been asked to become a Chaplain for the ‘Minute men.’ He took that position also. He then preached all over to the ‘Minute Men’ about the blue prints which were in the scripture. So the anti-communist [sic] started on him, and the Communist and the Jewish organizations struck his life. And when he left Illinois to go to Albuquerque, he disappeared. His car was found along the highway--blood spattered. But I never heard anything about a group of FBI men coming out to find him or his wife and children. There has hardly been a ripple about this, except for anti-press reports that he was to meet with the Government about tax problems concerning some of these properties. So they said he must have disappeared to avoid this. A man whose properties were so extensive and his church affairs were so extensive, was not worried about meeting with those officials. But this is the way they sought to smear this individual. We received some letters talking about the harassment of his church as the tapes went out [i.e., Swift's sermons on cassette tapes mailed out-dwd], and we are getting answers from all over. There have been strange things happening all over these United States, for this is the time of 'Jacob's trouble.' For instance, a young man who came from a retreat they had held in the east. He was a Marine and a patriot, if not a plant. And he came and he told them how all of the young Marines who were anti-communist ... all of them who had any faith and understood these things ... were being persecuted and harassed in his department. They were being knocked around. And for no cause whatsoever, they would be charged, locked up and would be shoved around by the Marine Sergeants and others who came in to work them over. They told them that if they were anti-Communism, then this was a mental derangement. This Marine was on two days leave, and he had gone to this church and told them about what some of his experiences were...and someone knocked at the door. Two officers said, “We want this man, we are looking for him.” And the Pastor said, “Do you have a search warrant for this man? Do you have a warrant for his arrest?” And he said, “Well, do you have a search warrant for this place?” And they said, “no.” So the Pastor said, “Well, you better go get one, for we are not turning anyone over without proper authority.” So the two officers left and they did not come back that day. But I have the clipping in my briefcase and it says: How do you think they came back today? They came in with half a regiment of Marines, and they came in with guns and tanks right up to the door of the church. And they not only picked up the man, but they picked up ten of the churchmen and the Pastor, and they charged them with harboring a Marine who was AWOL.
.......There is no question about the intensity of the events that surround you. There is no question about the fact that the forces which turn loose violence and hate, are seeking to turn all of the people of earth against you. All of your race problems of today have been stirred up by the enemies of your Christian Faith, your Christian nation, and our flag. They are able to stir this in us because people asleep are easy to influence and know not how to protect themselves from this kind of abuse. Thus, they are being used as the shock troops of the revolution. Do you want to know where Negro trouble starts? It starts with Jewry. And Jewry starts from their Satanic origin and their incapacity to follow spiritual truths. I tell you that this is the secret behind communism, and this is the secret behind your problems.
[the accounts in the first paragraph might become a bit clearer if one substitutes "antisemitic" in place of "anti-Communist" for the cause of the "persecution"; the "Reverend Harrell" of the first paragraph may be the John Harrell mentioned in a "Violence on the Right" article in Newsweek, March 4, 1985, p. 23:
The Christian-Patriots Defense League, led by John Harrell, a southern Illinois millionaire, holds an annual summer festival at its 232-acre "Mo-Ark Survival Base" in Missouri. Last year's meeting attracted 600 people to sessions on tax rebellion, first aid and survival -- education and skills necessary for a struggle that, Harrell says, will be "worse than Vietnam."
The article also mentions a Gordon (Jack) Mohr as a 69-year-old "brigadier general" in Harrell's militia, and that Harrell at the time was allegedly "recruiting members who own airplanes in order to build his own air fleet."-dwd]

Swift's Christmas homily preceded by an introductory statement by a "Colonel Greer" in the early 1970's (Greer refers to "the late Dr. Swift").
THE STAR OF THE NEW ORDER
12-22-63
Colonel Greer:
There has been an attempt by evil men to take over the world and destroy God’s Kingdom. God is not mocked nor is He defeated by the events going on around us because they were known of God before time began. Who ever sits in the White House is permitted by God and we get what we deserve. God is not about to lose the world to the age old enemies of His Kingdom. It is only because of the blindness of Israel that we have to go through the troubles of the day. We were to occupy the earth until Christ returns as our King, but we have not done this. Instead we have let God’s old enemy, and ours, rule over us. We have stood by complacently while forces, which know not our God, tear our nation apart. Under God’s Divine Law over our nation we would prosper and be free from the hideous crime which stalks every street of our cities. We would be free from the sickness that fills our hospitals and our mental institutions to over flowing. America is a Christian Nation, a Nation of Destiny, and it is up to the hundreds of thousands of people who know that the White Christians of the world are the Israel of the Old Testament, to awaken our nation as to the reason for our great blessings, and why we are going through the troubles that we are in.
As we come to the Christmas season we feel sure that you will thrill to the tremendous message of the late Dr. Swift. I feel sure that you will like the tremendous challenge that it gives us for the message to our day. Lorraine Swift is to be congratulated in her efforts to continue to make these tapes available for you to hear.
Now; Dr. Wesley A. Swift speaking on the subject....”The Star of the New Order.”
Good evening friends, let us unite in prayer:
Almighty and Eternal Father again we thank thee that we can assemble together to worship you in Spirit and in Truth. Knowing that as we meditate upon these great events that surround this period of time which we celebrate....as the advent unto Earth of The Christ. As we think upon these things thy Spirit will catalyze unto our minds the clear vision of the greatness of that day. Continue to unveil unto us the Light that goes before us into a new order. Lighten the Day Star of thy Glory in the hearts of thy people until with determination they resist the darkness, lifting high thy standards and awakening the joining power of thy hosts with thy leadership in the eventful days just ahead. We give thanks our Father that you have awakened us out of our sleep, that you have given unto us a sure word of prophecy. That you have unveiled by thy Holy Spirit the words of the scripture and made them known unto thy people. That you have preserved by the movement of men...thy testimony and preserved it until this time. We thank you, Our Father, that we are the Children of thy Household and thus are filled with thy covenants and that we recognize that unto Us.....a Child was born...unto us a Son was given, and the government shall be upon His shoulders. Our Father, it is with this realization that we, your Israel people, your mighty household in the earth, has this gift of thyself, fulfilling in the pattern of the covenants all that was essential for our redemption. Having justified us by thy Grace, and predestinated us to conform to thy image, we look forward to the mighty Glory that is yet to arise upon thy people, to thy praise and thy honor. We pray, Our Father, that you cause us to remember throughout these days of Celebration that this is our Celebration of Joy, this is our recognition that thou came in fulfillment of all that you covenanted to do. As we commit ourselves again unto thy hand we pray that you will guide us in our meditation, that we may see the vastness of this vista of events, that surrounded the glorious manifestation of thy coming to earth. We pray for thy blessing upon the households of thy people in earth. We pray for the awakening of thy people, for the binding of the darkness, and for the restoration of the permanency of thy Kingdom to those who move under thy standards. Saying: “Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.” In thy Name we ask it. Amen.
......Now; I don’t want you to forget the Dragon and his seed, for here in the city of L.A., this year the Dragon seed is still here and still trying to swallow up the Glory of this production of science, because the Dragon and his seed...the B’nai B’rith and their Jewish forces turned the heat on here in this city of L.A., and turned off the Planetarium show portraying the birth of our Christ because....they said that Christ and His birth is not a part of their religion and they didn’t want the science of the sky to be unveiled as it occurred at the time of His birth to be shown to the people of Los Angeles. They said that this production of the Planetarium is run by the funds of this city and therefore you cannot run that production of the birth of Christ and Christianity because you are embarrassing and hurting them. I tell you that it’s time we embarrassed and hurt every enemy of Jesus Christ in the city of L.A....
......The enemy has not changed his course. He wages war constantly, he would like to destroy us, he would like to deny us the use of auditoriums and halls to bring this message to you. I hold in my hands the San Francisco Examiner of last week and I read:.... ”Dr. Wesley A. Swift who is a minister of God returns to the bay area with a mission of malice. He is a preacher and one who if heard cannot deny that he is dynamic and forceful, but his ministry is a ministry of hate. This self-styled minister of the Christian Faith who should be preaching peace and good will to men is instead preaching hatred of the Jews, opposition to the left wing and says they assassinated a President after he was no longer useful to them. He warns that even the Pope may be killed by the Jews. He also says that the spread of the Gospel of Truth is to come forth stronger and stronger in the coming years. This is the message that he preaches, the elevation of the white race, and the supremacy of the white race as God’s children.” (Unquote)
Now; notice this. They set forward six steps with which they would like to shut off all auditoriums and stop this declaration of truth. The same people, the same opposition. I want you to know that they have learned to understand what the Kingdom stands for. They have learned some of the truth of this Book even tho they call it hatred, but it is just the enmity that God put between the seed of the Woman and the seed of the Serpent. This enmity that God put there is to protect the Kingdom from all the works of the enemy. We have been tricked by the Devil long enough.
The World Order of the Luciferian hosts [meaning Jews, naturally-dwd] tonight is wound up in the image of the U.N. whose climactic pattern would take over all nations, and mongrelize all races, and destroy the seed of your race....the House of God by putting you under control of 5/6 of the nations of the world which are pagan and agnostic and idol worshipers. So if you opposed them and think the white men should marry white women and if you want to see 145 million white Christian people control the destiny of America they want to destroy you.
I am reading now from the U.N. Journal of November 21, 1963...in which the Soviet Union sought to produce a condition so as to result in jail for you and I or anyone else who believed in racial self respect and didn’t believe in mongrelization and integration. On November 21., this U.N. organization of the world order voted 89 to 0 to pass an international resolution against racial discrimination. Fourteen nations including the U.S. sustained. Under this resolution all citizens of the U.S. would lose their Constitutional guarantees. It would also bar Americans from limiting the entrance of Africans and Asians from coming into this country, and the ethnic origin clause totally negates the McCaren-Walters act which is our barrier against this situation. We have joined ourselves in a confederacy which God told us not to enter...in the 8th., chapter of Isaiah, between the promise of Immanuel and the giving to us of a gift. I tell you that God says to come out of these forces of evil because this is the Dragon trying to swallow up the great nations of God’s Kingdom ... the seed of the Woman (Israel) in this great hour.....

REDEEMING THE TIME
12-29-1963
As you know it was February 1962, when the sign of the Son of Man came in the Heavens...the first time this had happened in 11,000 years. [Swift's claims were flexible -- above it was 20,000-dwd] And all of the enemies of Christ cannot say that we do not have the measure for the climactic day of the LORD, which day we are now in. The significant pattern is that any time we see the accuracy of these measures coming out, as they were known to the prophet and to the teachers of Israel, and as they were known to the wise men of our race redeeming the time, has been your responsibility and mine...for the time now is very short. Much shorter than when the Apostle Paul said that the time was short. The time was getting short for him and the church which was in martyrdom. And they had to move into action at great speed. Now the time is short because the 'Day of the LORD' is at hand. And therefore, we are instructed to 'Redeem the time,' having looked at these things which have been revealed by the 'Light,' as to the working of the darkness. Thus, to redeem the 'Time,' we must restore the conditions that measure up to Divine approval. A lot of people say you cannot clean up the world. But you can clean up America if there is enough of us. It sometimes disturbs some to recognize that we are battling for America this afternoon, and we are battling for Christian civilization with absolute faith that we are going to win. It is pretty hard to call people out to a known defeat. But it should not be hard to call Christians out to a song "Onward Christian soldiers" and to march unto victory. And this we are going to do.
We continually hear people talk about the dangers involved. Well, there have been dangers involved in everything that is worth investing...life, liberty, and faith. I am going to tell you that we are in a most unusual period. And we will have much to say about this as we give you the measures and the prophetic picture in 1964. But I tell you that if you look back over the last year since a year ago February, you will see that events have been stepping up and coming to their full. In fact, the measures and the indications that God has given have been completely fulfilled as far as the passage of the years have been concerned. And it is unto you who has the capacity to know and to understand, to 'redeem the times.' So in this instance, the prophet would talk about things which would come to pass. And he did this with assurance because God had unveiled unto him the picture of events unto his consciousness, and then gave him the understanding as to when it would take place. Jesus refers to the 'sign of the times.' We discover that all thru the scriptures there is concern according to these great measures. Without any question, we have arrived at the end of an age. The 'abomination of the desolator' is down in Palestine and is just waiting to grab over into Jordan, the last site of what was Solomon's temple site, where the Mosque of Omar sits. Not because he thinks he has a right to this, but because he wants to include this. This is the 'abomination of the desolator.' And he does not recognize the true God. He hates Jesus Christ and is at war with Christianity. There will be much turbulence in the Middle East, and we will have more to say about that. But at this very moment, the colors that fly in the Middle East inside of Palestine, are symbols of the enemies. The same ones who sought the blood of Jesus Christ and who want to destroy and break down every area of the ministry of the Messiah...and still wants you to believe in the prophetic measures...claiming it for themselves. If you do not believe that, then this very week the chief Rabbi of Israeli has been hammering away at the Pope representing the supposedly Christian church is going down to Palestine. And that is creating such a fuss that the whole force of Ecclesiastical power in Palestine is trying to make sure that they do not give him any reception.
[as previously mentioned, according to Swift the nation of Israel itself was "the abomination of desolation" and the Israeli flag is what he's referring to as "the colors that fly...inside of Palestine are symbols of the enemies"-dwd]
...The U.S. News says that 'the President and the Secretary of State look out over the world, and never has there been such an atmosphere of hope because we see not a solid foundation of actually not trusting the Soviet Union, but of helping to build her up and putting her into an area where she has to trade with us in order to be prosperous. And this way we will defeat this situation all over the world.' I never heard such a discussion and the lack of understanding as to what this is all about. This is a struggle. It is the kingdom of God against the powers of Darkness...........
