Rev. Ambrose Jessup Tomlinson (1865–1943) was the first General Overseer of the Church of God (Cleveland), one of the oldest sects to shape the Pentecostal Movement. Tomlinson was an American Bible Society agent who believed in John Wesley's "second blessing," which was adopted by the Pentecostal Movement as the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit." Under Tomlinson's leadership, the Church of God (Cleveland) experienced substantial growth, both attracting followers who embraced Pentecostal doctrines and influencing the Pentecostal movement. At the same time, the Church of God was filled with internal conflicts and doctrinal disputes that led to divisions. The first major schism came in 1923 when Tomlinson advocated for abandoning the sect's constitution to establish a theocracy. On July 24, 1923, Tomlinson declared a separation from those opposed to a theocratic governance. Church of God (Cleveland) was a predominantly white organization as opposed to the predominantly black Church of God in Christ. The Cleveland group openly advertised white supremacy organizations and leaders of those groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, Roy E. Davis, the second-in-command of the Klan, and John Roach Straton. Davis was a bishop and evangelist for the Church of God and claimed to be on the executive committee of the Davis-McPherson Institute, a Church of God school in Dahlonega, Georgia. Davis spoke at the general conference of the denomination in Chattanooga in 1927, where he was a familiar face among white supremacy. He and Ku Klux Klan founder William Joseph Simmons established the more militant Knights of the Flaming Sword in Chattanooga. This eventually led to a group of black ministers addressing the Church of God General Assembly to advocate for equal rights. Quote: We feel... somewhat embarrassed and handicapped to the extent we cannot make much progress that we really desire, and we are asking you brethren, with the consent 2 of all our brethren present at this Assembly, if there can be a way formulated by which we can arrange better to take care of our affairs among the colour work.- Black Ministers in the Church of God (Cleveland) In 1927, another schism began to form in the Church of God. Tomlinson's group had passed a resolution in an earlier conference at Chattanooga requiring "all affiliated churches to make over deeds to all real estate owned by them." During the process, it was learned that Tomlinson had appropriated $14,000 (almost $341,000 in today's money). Tomlinson was ousted over the misuse of funds and worked to establish a new Church of God organization. He did so by organizing a hostile takeover of the Cleveland group, leading to a suit in the Tennessee Supreme Court. Just weeks fter the split from the "Lee-Llewellyn" faction of the Church of God, Tomlinson invited Davis to hold a revival for his sect, openly advertising Davis' association with the Ku Klux Klan. Quote: Tomlinson, one of the founders of the Church of God, was ousted when it was found that he had appropriated about $14,000 of the church's funds, and since that time he established a new church and sought to obtain members of the first and their contributions on the ground that the Church of God had departed from the original faith. - Knoxville Journal. In 1951, A. J. Tomlinson's son, Homer Tomlinson, tried to push his father's theocratic agenda in American Politics. Homer formed the "Theocratic Party" and ran for United States President. Homer Tomlinson appointed another Davis, Roy Lee Davis, as campaign manager. Though he did not win, Homer ran for President multiple times. The platform established by his party claimed to "1) Maintain the U. S. constitution as an 'instrument of God', 2) Substitute Bible tithes for taxes, 3) Abolish all taxes on whiskey, gambling and tobacco because it is wrong to tax the weak, 4) Freeze wages and profits at the present level and 5) Guarantee farms 10 percent profit." A. J.

Voice of God Recordings has been named as the "key influence" for cult leader Paul Mackenzie, the leader of the suicide sect in Kenya. Mackenzie and a group of elders in the sect influenced several members of his sect to commit suicide through starvation, leading to the most deadly terrorist attack perpetrated in Kenya. Over two hundred victims were small children. Mackenzie and thirty members of his sect have been charged with murder and terrorism. He has been labeled "the most reviled man in Kenya" for the horrific event now known as the Shakahola Massacre. QUOTE: Cult observers regard Mackenzie as among the most destructive cult leaders in modern history. And he is arguably the most reviled man in Kenya. Others assert that the preacher, who took his followers to a wilderness to die, on the pretence of farming and promises of spiritual nourishment, is a hero. Many of these are in detention with him, but considerable numbers of his followers are not. Judging by posts and comments on social media, clearly many of them remain loyal.- Margot Kiser Investigative reporter Margot Kiser from Kenya spoke directly with Mackenzie at the Shimo La Tewa maximum security prison. Kiser has earned a great deal of respect as a "Kenya-based American journalist covering war, geopolitics, human rights, conservation, and crime, primarily in East Africa. She has contributed feature stories for Newsweek, The London Times," and more. In her meeting with Paul Mackenzie, the cult leader pleaded with Margot Kiser for help. Ironically, for a cult leader who convinced hundreds of his victims to starve themselves into heaven, Mackenzie complained to her about the conditions of the prison and the small portions of food issued to prisoners. However, the humble manner in which he spoke convinced Kiser to dig deeper into the history of the suicide sect. In the investigative report published on January 26, Kiser named Voice of God Recordings in Jeffersonville, Indiana, as the key influence on Paul Mackenzie. Though she did not name William Branham as the source of doctrine, Kiser did mention that Mackenzie's influence was the taped sermons distributed by Voice of God Recordings. Those recordings, available on branham.org, are the sermons preached by William Branham from 1947 through 1965. QUOTE: The key influence on Mackenzie, however, the taped sermons he had learned and delivered himself, distributed by an enterprise called Voice of God Recordings. VOGR is a US organization.- Margot Kiser Read More: https://william-branham.org/site/blog/20240126_voice_of_god_recordings_named_in_shakahola_massacre ______________________ – Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham – Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ – Visit the website: https://william-branham.org – Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WilliamBranhamOrg – Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@william.m.branham – Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wmbhr – Buy the books: https://william-branham.org/site/books

In 1929, Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E. Howard introduced the notion of "serpent men," whose evil plan was to infiltrate humanity using shape-changing and mind-control abilities. Howard's creation was first published in the August 1929 issue of Weird Tales, with a story that drew from the theosophical ideas of Helena Blavatsky's "The Secret Doctrine" and her invention of "dragon men." The "serpent men," having human bodies and the heads of snakes, transitioned from fiction to conspiracy theory in the Christian Identity movement. Identity leaders believed that the Serpent from the Biblical Garden of Eden mated with Cain to produce a second and impure bloodline. That bloodline, half human and half serpent, were, in effect, "serpent men." In the extreme forms of the identity doctrine, Howard's storyline turned into theology; Identity leaders believed that the impure bloodline had seized control of the United States government. This fictional creation spread even further via the Latter Rain movement. Leaders in Latter Rain taught Identity's two-seed doctrine as "divine revelation" and produced "visions" and "prophecies" to support the "serpent man." Some of these visions turned listeners against the United States government, and Latter Rain "prophets" claimed that they had seen reptilian government figures in them. Quote: And then not long ago, you know, they...I had the vision that a great, dark, smoky, sooty, scaly, like an alligator, man come, moving towards me, with iron fingers. I had one little knife, like that. And he had on him, "United States government." And I couldn't help nothing. I was helpless. And then the Lord came on the scene, and it was conquered. And you remember me telling you that, long ago. - William Branham After the reptilian was adopted by the leaders of Latter Rain, the conspiracy spread like wildfire. It gave birth to new extremist movements, that exist today. QAnon, for example, spreads propaganda of "serpent DNA" that has infiltrated the United States through vaccines and other conspiracies. In 2021, California surfing teacher Matthew Coleman murdered his two children after claiming that they were infected with Serpent DNA.

Rev. O. L. Jaggers was a Voice of Healing evangelist who worked closely with Gordon Lindsay, William Branham, and the other revivalists from the late 1940s. He was well respected among Pentecostals due to his family connection to the Assemblies of God. His father was one of the original founders of the Assemblies. In 1951, Voice of Healing began heavily advertising Jaggers as the evangelist launched a nationwide radio broadcast in collaboration with The Voice of Healing. That same year, Indiana’s Rev. Jim Jones of Peoples Temple was given $3,000 per week (Almost $36,000 per week in today’s money) to hold revivals with Jaggers. This places the year connecting Jones to William Branham much earlier than previously thought. Branham would have already been aware of Jones as editor of The Voice of Healing. Jaggers went on tour selling the “Flying Saucer” theology of Christian Identity to the masses, and both the Christian Businessmen and Voice of Healing organizations sponsored him. Even Congressman William D. Upshaw, who later helped boost William Branham’s failing ministry after an alleged healing in Leroy Kopp’s Calvary Temple in Los Angeles, endorsed Jaggers as “one of the finest evangelists” he’d heard. Upshaw, who single-handedly saved the 1915 Klan during a government inquisition, worked closely with several key figures in the revivals, including Wiliam Branham’s mentor and second-in-command of that 1915 Klan, Roy E. Davis. Jaggers went on to become the head pastor at Leroy Kopp’s Church. You can learn this and more on william-branham.org O. L.
