Recent Photographs of the prophet Elijah in Jerusalem
Below is the portrait purchased 20 years ago by a man who testified, he was told by the Lord, that the portrait is the prophet Elijah.
The 2nd photograph above and the copy of the portrait were sent by Al Cuppett, Mr. "C." It is Al's testimony that this is the Elijah of Rev 11. We will add a transcription of Al's testimony regarding Elijah to the bottem of this page.
The best photograph for comparison, slightly enlarged, comes from the BBC. Thanks BBC. Why the NBC and BBC protrayal of this man as the preeminent example of "Jerusalem Syndrome?" "Jerusalem Syndrome" means nutcase, because, as the NBC psychologist said, "He claims he talks to God." Why the nutcase portrayal of this particular man of God by both NBC and BBC television???? This man of God, called Elijah has now been seen worldwide by 2 of the world's largest television networks.
Pastor Tom Carlson, when he was a 7 year old boy, had a vivid vision of the prophet Elijah. He carried that vivid vision for over 40 years. He was led by the Lord to go to Jerusalem, in February 1999, to find the prophet Elijah and assist him in Elijah's ministry in Jerusalem. It is Pastor Tom Carlson's testimony that this is the prophet Elijah from the vision he was given 40 years ago.
The resemblance is stunning. What do you think?
ELIJAH
ONE OF THE TWO WITNESSES - "report" May 1999
Could he be walking around right now? What would he look like?
What would he be saying? But most reading this letter will be as
skeptical as I was. So here we go.
It was in 1980, I was sitting at a sidewalk cafe on Ben Yehuda
Street downtown Jerusalem, Israel. When a young man sat beside us
on a stone bench. He was an artist with a large drawing pad, with
Pastels, in just a few minutes he did a portrait of a man. When I
looked at it, the Lord spoke to me, and said that is Elijah. I
asked him if it was for sale, and how much. He said yes, ten
shekels, (about $6. back then). I bought it and took it straight
to a framer, and had it framed. It hung in our home for seventeen
years, every time someone looked at it over those years I would
tell them, that the Lord told me, that was Elijah.
A Pastor friend of mine "Rev. Tom Carlson" (a Messianic
Jew like myself) in Des Moines, Iowa, went to Israel, and while
there he met a man of God who he believed to be Elijah. When he
told me about it, I tried to be nice, but the truth is, I thought
he had lost it, if you know what I mean. He told me that news
media people from all over the world where interviewing him.
Almost as a gesture I told Pastor Tom about the painting I had,
and that I felt like God spoke to me and said it was of Elijah.
He asked me what the picture looked like, I gave him a
description of it and the phone went very still for a few
moments. He came back on and said he had gotten such a witness
that he could hardly speak. When he got some pictures of Elijah
printed to show people I saw one, and it nearly knocked me down.
It was the same man in the pastel drawing. I took some friends
and went to my storage shed. I wasn't sure where it was, but we
found it with a lot of other paintings we have. When I compared
the two together it was him, it was Elijah. Or a perfect likeness
of him.
Now the Bible tells us that in the end times there will be two
witnesses in the streets of Jerusalem. Every theologian I know,
believes it is Moses and Elijah.
Now if this is the end times, where are the two witnesses?
Wouldn't Elijah be in Israel now?
Now lets look at it from another perspective. It was 20 years ago
when I received a Word from God and purchased that painting.
Twenty is the number of Redemption, and it cost 10 Shekels, and
10 is the number of Testimony, so in just the cost and time
factor, we have a testimony of Redemption. When we add the 20 and
10 we have 30, the Number of Blood, so we are talking about the
Testimony of the Redemption of Yeshua, who shed His blood for our
sins. Glory to God, you see when God does something it is always
perfect, anyway you look at it. I have looked at this event very
closely. One thing I am certain of, God is saying something here.
We need to listen.
Now lets look at it another way. What would be the chance of God
telling a Messianic Jew in Jerusalem, twenty years ago, this
painting was of Elijah? Twenty years later God sends another
Messianic Jew to Jerusalem to take a Picture of a man who says he
is Elijah. Then God brings the two Jews together in Iowa, with
the painting and the picture.
This painting could be a fantastic witness to true Believers. The
Devil knows that as well. And the first night there was an
attempt to deface this painting, but the Holy Spirit was there to
protect it.

To Whomever It May Concern:
In April 1997 in Leesburg, Virginia, I was called to the front of the Church by Sister Elizabeth Serate, a Messianic Jewish Prophetess from South Africa, whom I have never seen before. She prophesied over me and told me, "son your a soldier for your country, you love your country, you'll be a soldier for Israel for you love Israel, you have a God breathed message but do not go where your not invited." And I should have learned that about 10 years ago. She said also, "and I tell the you shall again see the gates of Jerusalem ." After the Holy Spirit had left her, and the anointing she asked me, "are you by any chance in the defense forces?" I told her, " yes Mme.." like about 31 years worth, and I've been to Israel once in 1979. Well, low and behold in the past 5 months I spent 24 days in Israel a total cost including the air tickets for two round trips from Washington to Tel Aviv was less than a thousand dollars and that sum was donated to me.
What follows is my affirming testimony before the Lord God concerning Elijah. this Jewish born man now in Israel proclaiming the last day message for all to hear. Whether they be listening or believing or not. In January of l999 I was call by Pastor Tom Carlson about going to Israel. I had no tickets or funds but within two weeks the wherewithal was on the way for me to go to Israel . Before we left Tom told me, "we'll see Elijah when we get there." I will recognize him because the Lord gave me a vision in the synagogue when I was 7 years old. I didn't much doubt Pastor Carlson because everything he had told me in the past three years had come to pass, or had happened as he said. However, I was holding off judgment until we heard this Elijah guy, if we actually met him. For I would have to identify him by his words not his appearance. I know after 30 years of the word of God, from the word of God, with the word that the end time Elijah should be and how they would be delivered. A long story short we meet him in February, as Brother Carlson had prophecied. I reserved judgement on Elijah's looks and based everything on his testamony and his words. And the testamony of those who had seen him at work. There was no falt found in his words his proclamation his letters, that is if you know what the true word of God says. Later in May I saw the painting down at the Lodge in about 1980 and how Elijah would look in 1999. And I also read the testimony concerning that painting. In Jerusalem in June I also met him and his family, as they ate one of two Sabbath dinners with me, which I also had a chance to eat with Elijah. Furthermore, this day July of 1999 I can attest that the 1980 painting is that of the man I met in February and also in June.
In addition to the other traits, there is an unique indentation in his forehead that positively identifies him by the 1980 picture. In June I listened to Elijah's testimony and slept in the same room with him for 5 days. At one point he gave me a video about Anne Franks, and I was in the process of mourning the Jews of the coming holocaust in America.
I was honored too give him a pair of blue pants which fit him perfectly. I walked the streets of Jerusalem and attended at least four group meeting with him. I one of those meetings the Lord spoke prophetic words by another servant, not Elijah, by the Holy Ghost, directly to me as I closed my portion of the meeting. Elijah accompanied me to that meeting. Furthermore he was with us when we went to the airport on June 22 of 1999 when I returned to the states.
I also ate about 10 or 12 meals with him setting at my right side or my left side, whichever. We went into the Holly Ghost and gave him my very critical key word which he spoke out before I could speak them. He spoke these words out before I could actually say them myself, he beat me to them. I said, "how did you do it," and he said, "the Lord told me before you spoke the words. "In Jerusalem at one meeting I heard him rebuke a man that was continually, for two hours, doubtfully mocking me as I spoke. Moreover, the Lord had shown me that if the meeting host, scorned or rejected Elijah for any reason I was to leave. To wit, the hostess did just that after the rebuking ended above, when he rebuked this fellow. And we all four left. Then I realized this provocative fellow had been negating my entire message which continual doubt inducing comments which I was forced to overcome by using additional testimonies and evidence. And having to do so consumed much valuable time. However, the most damaging of all, was causing the listeners to reject this God breathed message. Elijah recognized this long before I did and intervened and rebuked the guy.
At the beginning of the June visit I was apprehensive about having Elijah around me as I figured my message was much different than his. Thus I thought there was no real reason for him to be around, be with me. However, at that time I knew they couldn't arrest him or detain him on a permanent basis but I wasn't sure they wouldn't try to apprehend me, for whatever reason.
You'd be surprised that Israel is a free country for Jew and Catholics and UN troops, but an evangelical, born again, King James user, Christians must be prepared to suffer. Believe me, I experienced it. Please know that I had to repent of this apprehension. Later I also had to repent of the Lord of an additional apprehension of Elijah being around me. For the Holy Ghost revealed to me that I was to be associated with him at all cost, as our messages are integrated. Having been with him makes this letter possible. In fact almighty God himself made it almost impossible for me not to be with him much of the time. Furthermore, I was to be around him enough to know he is the very one God promised to send to Israel. I stand by that conclusion today. To wit, and I say this, if he isn't the man, that there will have to be another that looks just like him and speaks the same words.
On my last day there, for example, the 22nd, Elijah left the house and went to Jerusalem early in the morning and I thought I would not see him again. Except, at that time I hadn't planned on going to Jerusalem again. Therefore, I thought well they'll want to catch up with Elijah so they won't detain me before I leave for Tel Aviv at 9:00 this evening. However 5 hours later, I agreed to go to the Market Place. With shopping, in the middle of all of that confusion of humanity as I was stuffing oranges into a bag , among all of that hustle and bustle, I saw a white beard over my shoulder, in the corner of my eye, it was Elijah. I asked him, "Brother, how did you ever find us here in all of this confusion in this city?" He said, "the Lord told me you would be here he guided me to this spot." It would have been near impossible to have found us in that mass of people without divine help. I then realized that the Lord was showing me again that I would be associated with this man in spite of my mental fears. During the 12 or so days that I actually spent portions of with Elijah and after hearing his testimony and seeing the response of others to him. I can safely affirm Elijah is the man of God, that God has sent for the end times in Israel. Disregard the negative letters about Pastor Carlson, for no man is perfect and most assuredly not some letter writers but Elijah is this apocalyptic figure.
Note: People who wear pistols on their hip to church and write slanderous letters against a prophet of God should be regarded very lightly, if at all. Yes the slanderer of Tom Carlson wore an exposed pistol when he attended Tom's Church. It not likely anyone received the railing absurd accusations of John that aired on one radio program.
Also, note that Elijah preaches and rebukes just like prophet R. G. Stair. Now, about one other thought. In numerics 6 means the nature of man. Elijah today lives at #6 on a street over there and that 6 is number of man and/or the nature of man. That's why he lives at house #6. This is the very house that was rented back in July. Since I did not witness any of them first hand I can't address the Elijah related incidence regarding (l.) the demise of the mail tampering of the Bethlehem postmaster (2.)the record drought in Cypress or (3.) the serious heart attack of a Rabbi who was warned to treat black Jews equal or else. But, I can assure you this, I can assure you this the record 3 year drought in Israel. Elijah warned them to do right in writing before it ever started. I saw his letters and I read them. Israel shall heed the warnings soon, otherwise, they shall have to vacate the land for lack of water. But, prophetic scripture never removes them once they return as a nation in 1948. Therefore, they and the Government of Israel shall heed and obey his words. The U. S. Jews better escape to Israel soon.
Yep, I know the above opens a lot of questions for those who have sucked upon the Church of God, Assemblies of God and the denominational adnausium bible school theology and eschatology. I know all about that. However for all the daughters and non bible studiers the peace and security covenant was signed on September 13, 1993 and broken on 13 of March, 1997. The antichrist figure himself is already clandestinely calling the shots behind the scene from the Brussels Beast Computer, which has a direct data commanding control circuit to every head of state in the world except Israel. The direct death and destruction by United Nations, apostates and forces can be witnessed by the reason domestic policy death to the USA. As well as the killing field in other places of the world and much more is on the way. This is all being called from Brussels and is being carried out by our puppets here in Washington. Furthermore, since 1973 the Israeli Government has thoroughly and secretly excavated Solomon's Temple, directly under the Temple Mount and right under the Moslems feet, 16 to 20 feet above. They have ferreted out a secret chamber there and need not ever build a final temple as they have the exact paving there where Solomon and the High Priest once walked. Sister Serate walked on it herself in 1996, October. Regarding the time and the seasons that is numbers of the dates and times that are set forth in the word of God, well they must all be shortened as the Lord has reserved that right, to save the elect and almighty God shall have to do so and is already doing it. That is to save us. As of July, 1999 we are on the very brink of global disaster. Prepare to meet thy God for you shall soon meet him. And when you meet him you will recognize him as the GREAT I AM, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
