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.

In 1963, William Potter Gale published a booklet entitled “The Faith of Our Fathers,” pushing the notion that a Pre-Adamic race existed before the biblical Garden of Eden and populated the earth through Cain and his descendants. As part of the Christian Identity doctrine of the two-seed bloodlines, Gale claimed Cain’s descendants were the “Asiatics and Negroes” while the white race was the true bloodline. Gale resurrected an ancient quasi-Gnostic myth that a pre-agamic race came from the realms of outer space and was not of earthly origin. According to Gale, Lucifer and his fallen angels fought a “great and mighty space battle” across the universe. The forces of God were led by none other than the Archangel, Michael. When Michael and his fleet of spaceships defeated Lucifer and Lucifer, and his rebels were cast down, they fell to planet Earth and began to invade the Earth through sex. Gale, however, was not the first to push the two-seed bloodline in spectacular works of science fiction, nor was he the first to claim that fiction was “Christian doctrine”. As the Christian Identity movement began to develop from British Israelism, and “Christian” ministers began to claim that interracial marriage was not biblical, they needed another “bible” to push that agenda; that doctrine is not in the Christian Bible. It appears that the answer was to combine popular themes from science fiction and label that fiction “biblical.” UFO Theology in Latter Rain: https://william-branham.org/site/research/topics/the_impact_of_william_branhams_ufo_theology_on_peoples_temple ______________________ – 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

Fate Magazine was founded in 1948 by Raymond Palmer, editor of Amazing Stories, to create an entertaining publication centered on UFOs, psychics, ghosts, and other paranormal topics for the itching ears. The magazine launched in March 1948, just one month before the first issue of The Voice of Healing, the primary organ for the Latter Rain and Voice of Healing revivals. Fate's inaugural issue captured readers' minds with articles about the Rhodes flying disk photos, as well as an article by Kenneth Arnold, who claimed to have had an encounter with a UFO. The Voice of Healing, which focused on the religious side of the paranormal, gave credit where it was due. This often included crossover articles between the revivalists and the paranormal magazines of the era. In July 1950, for example, Voice of Healing ran an article on the “prophetic” significance of Fate Magazine’s article, copying one of the photographs from Fate magazine and mentioning Fate as the original source. Christian identity themes published in The Voice of Healing included identity’s UFO theology, and Fate magazine’s style of entertaining articles made it the perfect partner for what Gordon Lindsay called “Prophetic significance.” You can learn this and more on william-branham.org.

Hobart Freeman was a controversial "faith healer" from Kentucky and Southern Indiana who convinced members of his cult of personality to refuse medical care. Several members of his cult died as a result of his anti-medication doctrines. Freeman was deeply influenced by leaders in the Word of Faith movement, including Kenneth Hagin, John Osteen, Kenneth Copeland, T. L. Osborn, and E. W. Kenyon. He taught the Latter Rain version of the "Gospel of Divine Healing," which claimed that "healing" was part of the "atonement." Freeman believed that "it was always God's will to heal in response to our faith, and that God would do it without the aid of doctors or medicine." As a result, medical care was strongly discouraged and often reviled. Considering his involvement in Latter Rain and his proximity to Branham's Jeffersonville church, it would appear that his primary source of influence was William Branham. In 1958, Freeman led the First Baptist Church of Sellersburg, Indiana, just a few miles north of the Branham Tabernacle. Freeman held inter-denominational revival services at the New Hope Community Church the previous year. He had recently graduated from Georgetown Kentucky College and attended Louisville Southern Baptist Seminary during his pastorate in Sellersburg. In 1963, after William Branham announced that he would relocate his family to Tucson while becoming a "wander" (traveling evangelist), Freeman joined forces with Melvin Greider and established Faith Assembly in Kosciusko County, Indiana. Within a few years, their following had grown to over a thousand people, and the anti-medication doctrine had become extreme. Several people were critically ill, and many people died. His extremist version of "divine healing" apparently was appealing to the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship. Within a few years after moving his congregation to Claypool, Freeman was invited to speak at multiple Full Gospel Businessmen events. Freeman was eventually indicted on charges of aiding and inducing reckless homicide. A Kosciusko County grand jury indicted Freeman after the death of Pamela Margaret Menne. Pamela, a 15-year-old, died of chronic kidney failure that prosecutors claimed could have been prevented by treatment.
