Four Swimming Pools And A Great Recreation Center
In the two excerpted Wesley Swift sermons below, it seems there was some concern about race-mixing. The first brief excerpt presents stereotypical complaints about black people causing problems in society along with specific outrage over the nomination of Thurgood Marshall as the first African American Justice of the United States Supreme Court. (Swift's prediction that the Court would henceforth have a liberal bias turned out to be highly inaccurate in the long run, but was understandable at the time, as there had been some evidence of human evolution up to that point.)
The given date for the sermon was a week after that of the one I last posted ("Woe Unto You Who Desire The Day Of The LORD"). But our second sermon here has a date that would be the very next day after the first and covers much of the same territory (especially complaints about Marshall's nomination). So it seems probable that Swift gave the first sermon on Friday, June 16, and the second on Sunday, June 18. That would have been in the week following President Johnson's nomination of Marshall on Tuesday, June 13, 1967.*
*On a side note, in this source, we find that Juan Williams was able to write a whole book about the relationship between Johnson and Marshall despite his confusion about their mutual liking for a strange beverage: "[They] would drink -- and this is a drink I don't think that you or I could imagine -- Coca Cola and bourbon [i.e., Jack Daniel's whiskey]. Talk about something that's [sic] syrupy......" Yes, the "syrupy" quality is exactly what some of us like about Jack-&-Coke......
The second sermon provides some of what you might call the theological background of Swift's preaching. It posits the fairly well-known origins of black people as they were brought over by Lucifer on his ships (after the Archangel Michael had defeated him but was not allowed to finish him off, because God had a plan where white folks should be the ones to defeat him -- after all, he had been an Archangel before he turned evil and that ought to count for something). Evidently, Lucifer then contaminated the ancient peoples of Asia via race-mixing with his devilish cargo of black people. White people, on the other hand, had initially been "spirit people" fathered by God and dwelling in the Heavens until they were incorporated into their material bodies here on earth. Naturally, this meant that an "inner divine nature" resides in all white folks, which is thus the true meaning of "the Kingdom of God is within you."
Far more seriously in every way, towards the end, Swift was inciting people to take action, possibly specifically intended as "messages for God's ministers" out in the hinterlands. Capitalized words are by the tape transcriber, indicating Swift's vocal emphasis, and regular parentheses represent comments by the transcriber. All italics are my emphasis, and my comments are 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 PEOPLE WHO FOUND GRACE IN THE WILDERNESS
6‑18‑67 [probable actual date of sermon's delivery was Friday, June 16, 1967-dwd]
.........But you are on the edge of the greatest spectacular events in all time of prophecy and history, and as we see these perilous times moving upon the nation and degeneracy still moving in to the accepted policy, with even the newspapers giving accent [sic, "assent"] to it, and the Hippies marching out in their degeneracy, still they have changed the program to mass negro rioting. They rioted in Tampa, Florida, and calls came in from pastors there saying there are 20 or 30 fires burning there. Another minister said there are now 80 fires in Tampa, and they are no longer burning negro areas, but are burning in white areas and they have automatic weapons and firing at white men with their guns, and at their cars. The story is the same in Cincinnati, and the Governor had ordered in the National Guard after 10 city blocks were burned this week. And looting by the negroes was still going on. After the National Guard came in the governor read the riot act, and said: ...we will shoot looters and shoot to kill. This slowed them down, but then Rep [sic, "Rap"] Brown went to Dayton Ohio, and said lets put the hat on over here. But in Tampa, Florida that soft governor and mayor said to the negroes...you stop the riots and we will give you everything you have been rioting for. So they gave them four swimming pools and a great recreation center and put them all on emergency dough [dole] until they can find satisfactory jobs for each one of them. That is what I call making riots pay off.
Then of course the riots broke out in Philadelphia last night, and they were throwing Molotov cocktails there, so what is all this....what is it all about? Again it is the recompense which will be received by any society which starts to satisfy the program which is in violation of our constitution, and our way of life, and especially the Word of God.
Then of course we set in motion all these processes which they think they can get away with because they have the voices in government which supply it. I think the President of the U.S. went the last straw this week as he said:...the time is right, there is no time like now ... I am going to step in. And .... he appointed Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court. This is a demonstration of total degeneracy. Thurgood Marshall had 17 citations before the Un‑American activities committee for Communist activity. He had one then in the civil rights cause, and in fifty‑three times before the Supreme Court ... citations in all but eight of them. And of course this could never be done if you did not have a Supreme Court way off to the left. Now :.... with the placing of Thurgood Marshall on the Supreme Court you will never win another right wing decision. You will never win another decision which upholds the constitution of the United States. It will be a constant revision, a constant program of Liberal activity, unless the people of America now will cry ... 'that is enough!' Thank God the southern congressmen and senators said:... we will vote for Wallace or anyone who shows his head, but we will not vote for Johnson after this.
So again God speaks to his people, and he tells them they will see and be angry, and they will be like a pot boiling on the fire, and there will not be a Cainanite [Jews as "children of Cain"-dwd] left in the house of God. (Zechariah 14:21) Thus as we see these things all coming to pass which have been prophecied [prophesied] so long in the scriptures, still God says:... My Grace and My Mercy shall follow thee still.
And yet there is this one area from which there is no area of retreat, and that is the area of intermingling, and mongrelization, and the sowing of other races into your society. And now with all these procedures he is sending forth as national policy .... this president of the U.S .... these things against the laws of God, until there is only one thing the church can do. The church has only one area of responsibility, it must come out and denounce all these areas of transgression, whether committed by the heads of state, or whether committed by the Supreme Court, but it must be denounced. Where as the church thinking they are the security in this time that is fallacy. I had a minister tell me that the time is coming when we cannot say anything about the errors of state or it could cost us our right to preach. I said: that may be for you but it is not for me. We are going to denounce the evil because God has a covenant with His people. He says: 1,000 can fall at thy right hand and 10,000 at thy left and no harm can come to you. That is on the field of battle, and I am going to tell you that God will start doing miracles of Judgment at the command of his ministers if they try this program of Anti‑Christ. And when it is thru this is going to be a fine nation to live in. It will be a white nation and a Christian nation ... under YAHWEH‑God. You are entering the time of the final of the battle of Armageddon, so we lift up our face unto whence cometh our strength, for we recognize we are in this Day of the LORD.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN
6-19-67 [probable actual date of sermon's delivery was Sunday, June 18, 1967-dwd]
As we turn to your subject and look for the power of this Kingdom, we also see some of the facets of the design of the evil conspiracy of some government officials and agencies as they try to integrate your race, little realizing what they are doing, that they are only following the guidance of Luciferianism.
............But we discover that Lucifer had been defeated as he sought to overthrow God and HIS Household in the Heavens. We discover that Lucifer is the one called Satan, and the devil. And irrespective of all the concepts that men may have in their minds concerning this, the fact is that Lucifer gained control of the earth. He was driven to earth (our solar system) by Michael and his angels. And Michael wanted to come in with a coup-de-grace, and settle the hash of Lucifer once and for all. But God said, ‘Stay.’ He was an Archangel even as you are and I have a purpose and a plan, for here in earth is where the sons and daughters of God are going to conquer Lucifer, once and for all times. Thus, you, Michael, just stay, and just wait your time.’
Thus, it is that even Michael had to wait even after having already defeating Lucifer, having driven his ships out of the Celestial patterns of the heavens and had placed them here in the earth. And this situation may have occurred over endless ages of time. Because we can find all types of catastrophes which came to earth with Lucifer. He sowed the doctrines of his evil into the ancient people of Asia.
He brought with him the Negroes on his ships. And we discover that the first entrance of Negroes into earth, came about as Lucifer was driven here. And they are referred to as such in the ancient patterns of the scriptures in the word which identify very, very clearly the Negro. More than this, they fought upon Lucifer’s ships and were soulish [sic, "soul-less"] in their capacity. They were not like the children of your race at all. For they lack any spiritual capacity. But after bringing them to earth, then Lucifer started mongrelizing the Negro into the races of people who lived on the great continent where now you find the Pacific Ocean, as well as the continent of Asia. In other words, he started to co-mingle---co-mixing of the seeds of the people of earth.
.......Then some will say, ‘But what about these people of our race who do not hear?’ They are but a casualty in this battle with Lucifer. Don’t worry about their Eternal souls even tho you seek to reach them. Someday the Holy Spirit may reach in and contact that spirit and stimulate it until they see the Light, and become active in the Gospel of the Kingdom. I think that you are about to see one of the greatest spiritual revivals of all times. One which never existed in all the nations of the world before, as God calls those who have the capacity to respond, until they stand up to fight this program of the anti-Christ.
...........Actually, Lucifer has gained control of Ecclesiastical circles. He has started the areas of his false doctrines and his false churches. In fact, as he watched the Church of Christ, a most powerful institution, raised up to act as the spiritual center for the nations of the Kingdom, and then when he couldn’t destroy it with the Jews and their control of kingdoms with their gold, he started the persecution of this Church. Christians were put to death in the coliseums or slain in their homes. But he was not able to destroy the Church of Jesus Christ, for the more he persecuted, the faster the Church grew, until he decided he would establish a church of his own with which to battle you for the Kingdom. So he has tried to move into certain churches and to establish certain churches. And he now moves in your day, into most major denominations and most churches, to try to twist from it the doctrines of the ‘Gospel of the Kingdom,’ into a total area of perversion.
Now, by the same process, we are to understand that the Kingdom of God is a reality. It means the rule over all of the earth. It means a rule over all the kingdoms of this earth, because all of the kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdoms of our LORD and HIS CHRIST. And therefore, people may reject this and say, ‘but this teaches White supremacy.’ And you are absolutely correct. This is WHITE SUPREMACY. It doesn’t make any difference if anyone agrees with you or not. It doesn’t make any difference whether they like it or not. Still this is the WILL OF GOD.’ HE says, ‘I will perform all My council, all the things I have declared will I bring to pass.’
....Unless they accept HIS Word with the humility by which a child accepts the Word and the Will of the Father, and believes these things, they would not be able to participate in the tremendous activities which cover the measure and scope of the Kingdom in these climactic days. As far as the children of the Kingdom are concerned, they are going to be doers, not just sitting around waiting for things to happen. They are going to start performing the instructions of their Father. And the Saints of the MOST HIGH GOD must take possession of the Kingdom to hold it forever and forever. In this endeavor, you will be assisted by Michael, this great Prince who fought Lucifer in the past, and is once more going to fight for the children of God. We are told in the book of Daniel, that Michael shall once more fight for the children of God as he fought ‘in ancient times.’ We are therefore, to understand that the Kingdom of God is within you. This is one of the reasons why therefore, that Christ, who was the embodiment of God, the fullness of God dwelling bodily, who was this child as Isaiah tells us, begotten into your race and into your Household, your kinsman (Hebrews)--who took upon Himself a body just like your---the reason why HE made the declarations found in the Gospels.
.........In the 82nd Psalm, God speaks out and says, ‘Ye are Gods, and all of you are the children of the MOST HIGH.’ Then HE said as HE stood among HIS children, ‘How long are you going to let them judge unjustly? How long are you going to accept the children of the wicked to be in authority over you? Ye are Elohim.’ What did God say that concerning your race? Why did HE say, ‘how are you going to let the wicked rule over your land and your society?’ Because it is one of the challenges that God made that HE is going to wake up HIS people and they are going to denounce the wicked and seize the Kingdom.
Someone said, ‘what does it mean---Ye are Gods?’ Well, if God had children, what do you think HE had? Then they say, ‘If God had children, they would be Gods, but we are men.’ Let me tell you something. Jesus the Christ was also embodied as a man. This was the fullness of God dwelling bodily. And when eventually HE brings this great truth to the consciousness of the sons and daughters of the MOST HIGH and causes them to realize that they are the sons and daughters of Heaven, coming to earth by the process of natural birth and by the spiritual energizing of the Holy Spirit of God. They will stand.
The Holy Spirit of God can only make contact therefore, and can generally pattern the Evangelization of those who are unpolluted and uncontaminated. This is why God speaks out and tells the children of Israel that they are a Holy Seed. And HE warns them against inter-marriage with any other race. HE talks about all the other races in the scripture, and this is than brought out in the 7th chapter of Deuteronomy as HE tells them that they are not to give your sons and daughters in marriage to these other races or take their sons and daughters into your race because you are a Holy people unto YAHWEH thy God. Thou art a people who have come forth out of God, the Issue of God. And HE says, ‘I have ordained that you shall remain a Holy people before the LORD thy God.’ And then HE said, ‘I have separated you and segregated you from all the people on the face of the earth.’ Why? Because you are a heavenly household.
.......God says you are not to let your sons and daughters marry outside of your race. You are not to bring in their sons and daughters into your society and to mongrelize. Because if you do, this offspring of this mongrelization will have a confused mind. The spirit will not cohabit with one who is not of the spirit. Therefore they will have only a physical type of pattern of some type of remembrance which moves in to the background of his forebears. But will not have the concept of the pattern of HIS race. Will not have the power of seeing clearly the concept of God, and the Fatherhood of God, and will worship other gods and turn from worshiping ME.
............The church is the spiritual center of God’s Kingdom in the world. Lucifer has established not only the patterns of false religions, but he has also moved in with the profession of conversion. Don’t think that if someone professes conversion, this makes them different. For inside the church today, there are hundreds of ministers who are doing the work of Lucifer. You say, ‘How do you account for this?’ Well, the National Council of Churches and the World Council of Churches is not Divinely inspired as an institution. They are instead, doing the work of Lucifer today. It does not stress the importance that you believe that Jesus the Christ in the flesh was the fulness of God dwelling bodily. I tell you that except ye believe that Christ was the fullness of God dwelling bodily, you do not have a part nor a lot in the administration of God’s Kingdom.
I want you to recognize that as the areas of the National Council of Churches and World Council of Churches came in, that the hands of Lucifer came into the church. And he says, ‘Oh, we will respect all men’s religions. We are going to respect the philosophies of the Hindus and the Buddhist. We are going to fulfill the program of all the church. We will all come together and we will acknowledge all these things.’ So the leaders and speakers of the National Council of Churches do not give ascent to the program of God’s Kingdom, but they speak out against it. No wonder they are for the United Nations and for everything evil, for World government and so forth. No wonder they want to take away the greatness of this House of Israel and the greatness of this nation with its stars and stripes and the outstretched wings of the great Eagle which God revealed to you in the 18th chapter of Isaiah.
Now, people say, ‘but how is it that people don’t understand and won’t listen?’ Because they have been taught by a false and evil institution. Where as a true church of God advocates the message of the MOST HIGH which is the Gospel of the Kingdom which Jesus preaches. And as people hear this message, they become alarmed and they become angry at the program of the anti-Christ....
......the Constitution says that Congress cannot make any law concerning the status of your religion. But thru these false ministers and thru this plan of Satan’s, they are not going to go thru the Congress. They are going to go thru the Supreme Court which will make its decisions based on the United Nations regulations. This is already in open discussion thru your newspapers and already been published in Mercury Magazine and others....
[under publisher Russell Maguire the "American Mercury" became host to more and more antisemitic content, blossoming into Far Right ownership and advocacy beginning in 1961; today that charming reputation is still going strong-dwd]
So you see anti-Christ wants to silence the church because it doesn’t want people to wake up. But when the ministers preach, ‘Thus saith the LORD,’ then people want to remain a segregated and a separated people. And this is the policy of Luciferianism which has crept into your government that has moved out of the Burma Conference and out of the areas of the anti-Christ program of the United Nations. I am going to tell you that when the children of God come into their own, they are going to renounce the United Nations. And then you watch this whole thing collapse like a great pile of cards.
.......The strange mysteries are that the children of God have the Word of God. Therefore, as they believe the Word of God, they are going to see that the powers of darkness are going to be overthrown. They are going to see that the policies of collectiveness and the programs of Satanism and all of the promises of security that he gives them, from the cradle to the grave, is just some of the dope that he has placed in the minds of the people who are listening and who are welcoming it because they think it leaves them an area of indulgence and guarantees them security.
Let me tell you something. Did you know that this whole policy is going to crumble and fall? And God says that HIS ministers are going to be against this whole thing. And Lucifer, to make his program saleable, is attempting to make it economically attractive, and to seduce the people in this way. But the price is going to be the integration of your society. And after integration, there is no capacity to remember God anymore. And they will no longer spiritually have the patterns of remembrance which made them great. And instead of having a long succession of advancing technology, they will go into a long period of deterioration, and go into the ground just like countries before who mongrelized, integrated, and mixed their society, until the day came like the once great civilization that was in India, was no longer there. And the people did not have enough to eat, and have to depend on you for their food.
.......Let me tell you. That the World Order, which is the Beast System, and the program of the Beast is matched against the program of God’s Kingdom. The program of HIS sons and daughters and their triumphant victory, however, is going to be the outcome of this situation.
Actually therefore, we are going to see a lot of people move into these orbits which have been mystified by the program of the darkness. But the church is going to speak out and triumph over the Beast and the powers of darkness. There will be many who will perish in the catastrophe as the judgements of God move for the Household of HIS KINGDOM.
Now, you can depend on every promise which is in this Bible. You can depend on the intervention of Michael and the Hosts of Heaven. You can depend on Armageddon and depend on God smashing Palestine and sending a great earthquake to the Mount of Olives splitting that mountain. And every Jew on that land will be a thing of the past. You can depend on that.....
I want you to realize that God said that the Kingdom of Heaven is within you and that HE is going to activate it by renewing your minds. HE is to bring to your realization just who you are and what you are to be doing. And the Kingdom is going to rise up and the people of the Kingdom are going to say, ‘We are going to rule the world for our Father, for the Praise of HIS name thru out all time. And every knee is going to bow and every tongue is going to confess that YAHSHUA (Jesus the Christ) is YAHWEH, to the Eternal Glory of YAHWEH-YAHSHUA forever.
......Well, we hear about degeneracy and the systems of degeneracy. And this, my friends, is alright. Because Sodomy and the mongrelization of Angels and men and all this race mixing are all a part of Lucifers kingdom. And we need to understand it. This is however, not true for the children of the King. And this is when the children of the Kingdom stand against those things. They stand because the spirit of God works in you and you have the capacity to perceive and to know that God’s purposes are coming to pass. It doesn’t take too long for the children of the Kingdom to hear, ‘Thus saith the LORD,’ and then start to grow and to develop in the program of God’s Kingdom. This is one of the areas where the tape ministry had been so successful. Lots of people who sent for the tapes did this because they were going to tell us where the truth is, where we were wrong, and where we got off the track. And then they get a tape, and then another, and pretty soon another, and they are changed because the Holy Spirit can reach every last one of the children of the Kingdom who will STOP AND LISTEN.
Now, as these things come to pass, then the tape ministry expands. Because this is one of the great patterns of truth. And as they become awakened, they want to do something about it. And you would be surprised, for clergymen and teachers and professors and others on the tape circuit are talking about how we can get this message across. They are talking about areas of legislation, about denouncing the President and denouncing the false leaders of our society. Why is this? What is the matter? After hearing the truth, they can’t hold their peace. But don’t think this is an amazing thing, for this is but the awakening, the renewing of the mind of the children of God, with the Kingdom of God within men COMING OUT. Don’t think that the Kingdom of God within our people is not going to come out in this hour, because of this great and mighty challenge against the powers of darkness and the forces of evil for a revolt of heaven will reshape the earth.
You say, ‘Oh, there are more people on the other side.’ Well, that may be true in some countries, but when God gets thru there won’t be more on the other side in THIS country. I tell you that God has promised the technology and the posterity of HIS Kingdom has been promised the ability and the knowledge to defeat the powers of darkness and the forces of evil. And also guaranteed help from heaven unto you and your society. The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. For you brought it to earth. And the Kingdom of Heaven will emerge out of you and Christ Jesus as King, the MIGHTY YAHWEH-YAHSHUA will join you to take over this earth.
Yes, you are getting close to the time when these things will come to pass. We see the signs of the end, but this doesn’t mean the shutting down of activity. It means the stepping up of activity. It means that since we are moving into the end time of an age, that the apathy of you against the areas of darkness, your response to all these forces of darkness and these patterns of evil, is becoming very strong. You see Negro rioting and senseless burning and stealing of property. The animal of the jungle, the Beast System, are acting exactly like the Beast system of which they are a part. And you see the Communist and government leaders coming to them and giving them all they riot for and promising them even more--and you are disturbed. And now, you see one of the Beasts on the Supreme Court and you are even more disturbed.
You say--what do I mean? Well, one of these from the Beast system having the mark of the beast system, has been put on the Supreme Court of your land. This man has a part in fifty-three Civil Rights cases tried before that Court and only eight of them were lost, because the Supreme Court now doesn’t have much sense of right and wrong.
Now that we have a Negro on the Supreme Court, they say, ‘Never again will we have another Conservative victory.’ I say, never as long as they live. Because I point out to you that God has a judgement. And I also point out that it is time to pray for God’s judgement to fall on this house of evil. And this is your responsibility. So we better start praying for a housecleaning in America. It will not be an idle prayer, for judgement will fall......
[it's not much of a stretch to say that more is involved here than fervent prayer, intended for "God's ministers" out there listening to the sermons on radio or tape-dwd]
We want you to realize that you are going to arise with tremendous power. You are going to see one of the greatest political forces in all history rise out of your response to the things of truth. You can’t help but respond to truth. You can’t help the way you feel. The spirit of God knows how you feel. And HE knows that as HE awakens the consciousness of HIS people, to these truths, that the Kingdom of God shall posses the land.
As we see this situation, remember this. For it is the greatest thing which you can perceive. You are a child from Heaven to Earth. You are the abiding presence of the Kingdom in the world today. It is there--lying in your body. The world may look for the Kingdom of Heaven and not realize that the Kingdom of Heaven is right here, for the children of God stand in opposition to the programs of the world. And in this hour, we pray, ‘LORD JESUS COME QUICKLY, JUST COME.’
