here you go. Your are the only one to see this at this point, It's still not complete, and it is just starting to form a rational statement on it's own, merit, but I still need to edit and format it down. As well once I am so far along, I need to get it to Clive, so he can examine it and offer insight and factual account to the timeframes as per history of the Church.

"Benjamin" God Bless
Preliminary findings still in Edit. Verifications of church history pending review and edit by Clive Doyle.
Now upon a broad examination one would think that "sure...these are common events, they happen all the time."
True enough, but upon closer examination, pick any event...just one from this list and start researching it...see the patterns of years it falls upon...and when you get through...pick a second event...Conincidence you say? Research a 3rd event...you may find that these events while common, are more common to the rise of the Branch Davidian Heirarchal structure when you see them all in perspective. Alone, sure...nothing. But accumualtively...well, see for yourself.
At this time this study is incomplete. There are facts that need to be verified, and it is not in it's final format.
It has to be structured into both events by isolated category emphasizing each event, and events by chronological order...emphasizing the Heirachal rise of the Church. When you view them both ways, the point is more than obvious.
For the most part...all the facts that will be presented are contained within this preliminary draft...and it is structured enough so that you can get an idea...see the "hypothesis."
I have been waiting to present this...and do so now prayerfully and having been instructed to do so. It is my prayer that I will not "Muddy the waters" so to speak, for those who wish to seek the truth.
Preliminary DRAFT Only
UPDATE*** Sabbath, March 22, 2008
I estimate there are about 150 hours accumalted in this study to this point. There other drafts which need to be edited in. This was a copy of the study in first edit, shared only in this amout of detail with two people until this point. There are approximately 50 hours of info beyond the point of the information as as presented here. Note that when referencing my own experiences I refer to myself as "Crider." This is due to the fact that I was writing as 1st person in the Spirit and that is how the Spirit chose to refer to me at the time. Once I finish the study I will let you know. I include it here at this time that you may view it to note a pattern as illustrated in the Sabbath study.

Thesis
Without fail, while disasters happen all the time, there have been signifignant trends with heirarchal events and timeframes of the Branch Davidian church. Without fail, every major Famine in the last 80 years has coincided in the same timeframe with these events.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church is the largest of several " Adventist" groups which arose from the Millerite movement of the 1840s. The Millerite movement was part of the wave of revivalism in the United States known as the Second Great Awakening and originated with William Miller, a Baptist preacher from Low Hampton, New York. Miller predicted on the basis of Daniel 8:14 and the " day-year principle" that Jesus Christ would return to Earth on October 22, 1844 . When this failed to occur, most of his followers disbanded and returned to their original churches.
Following this "Great Disappointment " (as it came to be known), a small number of Millerites came to believe that Miller's calculations were correct, but that his interpretation of Daniel 8:14 was flawed. Beginning with a vision reported by Hiram Edson on October 23, these Adventists arrived at the conviction that Daniel 8:14 foretold Christ's entrance into the "Most Holy Place" of the heavenly sanctuary rather than his second coming. Over the next decade this understanding developed into the doctrine of the investigative judgment: an eschatological process commencing in 1844 in which Christians will be judged to verify their eligibility for salvation. The Adventists continued to believe that Christ's second coming would be imminent, although they refrained from setting further dates for the event.
Adventists often claim continuity with earlier groups such as the Waldenses , Protestant Reformers including the Anabaptists, English and Scottish Puritans, evangelicals of the 18th century including Methodism, Seventh Day Baptists and others. [6]
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Development of Sabbatarianism
As the early Adventist movement consolidated, the question of the biblical day of rest and worship was raised. The foremost proponent of Sabbath-keeping among early Adventists was retired sea captain Joseph Bates. Bates was introduced to the Sabbath doctrine by a tract written by a Millerite preacher named Thomas M. Preble , who in turn had been influenced by Rachel Oakes Preston , a young Seventh Day Baptist.
This message was gradually accepted and formed the topic of the first edition of the church publication The Present Truth (now the Adventist Review), which appeared in July 1849.
Edson's first wife died in 1839, leaving him to care for three children. He soon remarried in Port Gibson, New York . [1]
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Involvement with the Millerites
The Millerite message came to Rochester, New York, in 1843 and soon spread to Port Gibson. The message was based on the preaching of William Miller and predicted that Christ would return about the year 1843, which was later refined to October 22, 1844. This belief was based on the day-year principle and an interpretation of the 2300 days mentioned in Daniel 8:14 which predicted that "the sanctuary would be cleansed". The Millerites understood this verse to point to Christ's return to "cleanse" the earth.
Edson, a Methodist, heard and accepted the message at an evangelistic series. On the last day of the series, Edson was impressed to visit a dying neighbor and ask for his healing in the name of the Lord. He followed through on this thought, entering the neighbor's home late that night and laying his hands on him. It is said that the neighbor immediately threw off the blankets, got out of bed, and began praising God. Soon the whole household was doing the same. [2]
That same night Edson believed that the Lord told him to begin preaching the Advent message to his friends and neighbors. He struggled with the thought for days, finding this more difficult to do even than healing the sick. He finally acted on his belief and soon three or four hundred of his neighbors accepted the Advent message as well. [3]
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
The Great Disappointment
Edson spent October 22, 1844 with friends waiting for the event, and was heart-broken when Jesus did not return as expected. He later wrote,
- "Our fondest hopes and expectations were blasted, and such a spirit of weeping came over us as I never experienced before. It seemed that the loss of all earthly friends could have been no comparison. We wept, and wept, till the day dawn." [4]
As the hours passed, Edson reflected on the events of the previous year. He believed he had been given the power to heal the sick, and he had seen many hundreds of friends turn to Jesus as a result of his preaching. His confidence soon returned, and he suggested that he and some friends visit some nearby Adventists (or Millerites) to encourage them. On the morning of October 23 they were passing through Edson's grain field where he claimed to have seen a vision. In this vision, Edson came to understand that "the cleansing of the sanctuary" meant that Jesus was moving from the Holy Place to the Most Holy Place in the heavenly sanctuary, and not to the Second Coming of Jesus to earth:
- "We started, and while passing through a large field I was stopped about midway of the field. Heaven seemed opened to my view, and I saw distinctly and clearly that instead of our High Priest coming out of the Most Holy of the heavenly sanctuary to come to this earth on the tenth day of the seventh month, at the end of the 2300 days, He for the first time entered on that day the second apartment of that sanctuary; and that He had a work to perform in the Most Holy before coming to the earth." [5]
Edson shared what he believed he saw with many of the local Adventists who were greatly encouraged by his account. As a result Edson began studying the bible with two of the other believers in the area, O. R. L. Crosier and Franklin B. Hahn , who published their findings in a paper called the Day-Dawn. This paper explored the biblical parable of the Ten Virgins, which describes a group of women waiting at a wedding for the bridegroom to arrive. The bridegroom, who was thought to symbolise Christ, was delayed, of which the men saw a parallel in their own situation. They attempted to explain why the "bridegroom" had tarried. The article also explored the concept of the day of atonement and what the authors called "our chronology of events".
The findings published by Crosier, Hahn and Edson led to a new understanding about the sanctuary in heaven. Their paper explained how there was a sanctuary in heaven, that Christ, the heavenly High Priest, was to cleanse. The believers understood this cleansing to be what the 2300 days in Daniel was referring to. This belief is known as the investigative judgment. Crosier's published account of Edson's vision came into the possession of James White (husband of Ellen G. White) and Joseph Bates, the latter of whom visited Edson in New York and converted him to the seventh-day Sabbath .
Later Life
At the close of a revival in 1855, Edson was ordained as a local church elder. [6] For many years after the " Great Disappointment " when Jesus did not come as expected, he continued as a lay preacher, working with Joseph Bates, J. N. Andrews, and J. N. Loughborough. He continued to farm in the summer to pay his expenses. In 1850 Edson sold his Port Gibson farm to help support the Sabbatarian movement, and sold a second farm two years later in Port Byron, NY so that James White could purchase a printing press in Rochester. The Sabbatarian Adventist movement was formally organized as the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1863. Edson was credentialed as a minister in 1870. [7]
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Organization and recognition
For about twenty years, the Adventist movement consisted of a loosely knit group of people who adhered to the Sabbath, the " heavenly sanctuary " interpretation of Daniel 8:14, conditional immortality and the expectation of Christ's premillennial return. Among its most prominent figures were James White, Ellen G. White and Joseph Bates. Ellen White came to occupy a particularly central role; her many visions and strong leadership convinced her fellow Adventists that she possessed the gift of prophecy.
The church was formally established in Battle Creek , Michigan, on May 23, 1863, with a membership of 3,500. [4] Through the evangelistic efforts of its ministers and laity, the church quickly grew and established a presence beyond North America during the late 1800s. The denominational headquarters were later moved from Battle Creek to Takoma Park, Maryland, where they remained until 1989.
For much of the 1800s, a majority of the Adventist leaders supported the doctrine of Arianism (although Ellen G. White was not one of them). [7] This, along with the movement's other unique theological views, led most Christian denominations to regard it as a cult. However, the Adventist church adopted the Trinity early in the 20th century and began to dialogue with other Protestant groups towards the middle of the century, eventually gaining wide recognition as a Christian church.
Ellen Gould White (née Harmon) ( November 26, 1827 - July 16, 1915), born to Robert and Eunice Harmon, was an American Christian leader whose prophetic ministry was instrumental in founding the Sabbatarian Adventist movement that led to the rise of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Supporters of Ellen G. White regard her as a modern-day prophet, even though she never claimed this title for herself. Support for her prophetic role is usually expressed in the language that she exhibited the spiritual gift of prophecy as outlined in the New Testament. Adventists do not consider this to conflict with the Reformation principle Sola Scriptura ("by scripture alone"), because the Bible is believed to be superior to her writings and the Bible teaches that one of the gifts to the church is the gift of phophecy. Her restorationist writings showcase the hand of God in Seventh-day Adventist history. This cosmic conflict, referred to as the " great controversy theme", is foundational to the development of Seventh-day Adventist theology. Her involvement with other Sabbatarian Adventist leaders, such as Joseph Bates and her husband James White, would create a nucleus of believers around which a core group of shared beliefs would emerge. Ellen White believed that at the close of earth's history Jesus Christ would return to this earth to gather His people and take them to heaven.
White was a controversial figure even within her own lifetime. She claimed to have received a vision soon after the Millerite Great Disappointment. In the context of many other visionaries, she was known for her conviction and fervent faith. White is the most translated female non-fiction author in the history of literature, as well as the most translated American non-fiction author of either gender. [1] Her writings covered theology , evangelism , Christian lifestyle, education and health (she also advocated vegetarianism). She was a leader who emphasized education and health, and promoted the establishment of schools and medical centers.
Ellen White described the vision experience as involving a bright light which would surround her. In these visions she would be in the presence of Jesus or angels, who would show her events (historical and future) and places (on earth, in heaven, or other planets), or give her information. She described the end of her visions as involving a return to the darkness of the earth.
The transcriptions of White's visions generally contain theology, prophecy, or personal counsels to individuals or to Adventist leaders. One of the best examples of her personal counsels is found in a 9-volume series of books entitled Testimonies for the Church, that contains edited testimonies published for the general edification of the church. The spoken and written versions of her visions played a significant part in establishing and shaping the organizational structure of the emerging Sabbatarian Adventist Church. Her visions and writings continue to be used by church leaders in developing the church's policies and for devotional reading.
On March 14, 1858, in Lovett's Grove , Ohio, White received a vision while attending a funeral service. On that day James White wrote that "God manifested His power in a wonderful manner" adding that "several had decided to keep the Lord's Sabbath and go with the people of God." In writing about the vision, she stated that she received practical instruction for church members, and more significantly, a cosmic sweep of the conflict "between Christ and His angels, and Satan and his angels." Ellen White would expand upon this great controversy theme which would eventually culminate in the Conflict of the Ages series. [9]

Middle life of E.G. White
From 1861 to 1881 Ellen White's prophetic ministry became increasingly recognized among Sabbatarian Adventists. Her frequent articles in the Review and Herald (now the Adventist Review) and other church publications were a unifying influence to the beginning church. She supported her husband in the church's need for formal organization. The result was the organization of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1863. During the 1860s and 1870s the Whites participated in the founding of the denomination's first medical institution (1866) and school (1874). Her husband James White died in 1881.
Later ministry
After 1882 Ellen White was assisted by a close circle of friends and associates. She employed a number of literary assistants who would help her in preparing her writings for publications. She also carried on an extensive correspondence with church leaders. She then traveled to Europe on her first international trip. Upon her return she promoted E. J. Waggoner and A. T. Jones, young ministers, in preparation for a more Christ-centered theology for the church. When church leaders resisted her counsel on various matters, she was sent to Australia as a missionary.

Final years of ministry and death
Ellen White returned to the United States in 1900, settling in Elmshaven, California . At first she thought her stay would be temporary and she called for church re-organization at the pivotal 1901 General Conference Session. During her later years she wrote extensively for church publications and wrote her final books, including a new edition with historical revisions expounding the title, The Great Controversy (1911). During her final years she would travel less frequently as she concentrated upon writing her last works for the church. Ellen White died July 16, 1915, at her home in Elmshaven, which is now an Adventist Historical Site.

"New Light"
1918 Victor Houteff arrives in America
1919 Victor Houteff joins the Seventh Day Adventist, becomes very active in the ministry
In 1929, Victor Houteff, a Bulgarian immigrant, claimed that he had a new message for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It was submitted in the form of a book entitled The Shepherd's Rod. His claims were not accepted and were considered divisive by the leadership because he pointed out what he saw as their departures from basic church teachings and standards. Therefore, he was disfellowshipped ( excommunicated) from the church.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
"The Branch"
In
1955, after Houteff's death, a split of this movement formed the
Branch Davidian Seventh Day Adventists , headed initially by
Benjamin L. Roden. "Branch" refers to the new name of
Christ. The group established a settlement outside of
Waco,
Texas, on the property previously occupied by the Davidian group.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
"Sheshonahim"
In
1977, Benjamin Roden's wife
Lois claimed to have a message of her own, one element of which was that the
Holy Spirit is feminine in gender, causing much controversy in the group. When Ben Roden died the next year, their son George tried to assume leadership, claiming that he was the rightful prophet of the group, but she beat back his attempt.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
"Children of Light"
1980 , David Koresh born Vernon Howell visits Mt. Carmel for the first time.
In 1981, Vernon Wayne Howell (later renamed David Koresh) joined the group as a regular member. In September 1983, Lois Roden allowed Howell to begin to teach his own message, opening the door for him to build a following before their split in early 1984. Lois also faced dissent from Canadian Charles Pace. There was a general meeting at Mount Carmel of all Branch Davidians over Passover 1984 and the end result was that the group split into several factions, one of which was loyal to Howell. At this time, George Roden forced Howell, and later Pace, to leave the property. Afterward Howell named his faction the Davidian Branch Davidian Seventh-Day Adventists. He repeated the Davidian name because he believed that he was operating in the spirit of the Shepherd's Rod Movement, i.e. he believed that he was God's "rod" of correction come around again to discipline the Seventh-Day Adventist church.
Howell took his followers to Palestine, Texas , while Pace went to Gadsden, Alabama . But, by 1988, George Roden's support had dwindled and, while he was in jail for contempt of court, Howell took charge of the disputed land in his absence. Meanwhile, Lois Roden had died in 1986, and her will appointed Teresa Moore, with Irmine Sampson, to continue her work.
In 1990, Howell changed his name to David Koresh , invoking the biblical Kings David and Cyrus . Koresh centered his teachings on the Seven Seals and his ability as the "Lamb" to open them. Koresh supported his beliefs with detailed biblical interpretation , using the Book of Revelation as the lens through which the entire Bible was viewed.

Events By Cluster
Unusual Snowstorms
You know while I am at it, someone mentioned to me just this week an event, pointed to Snowfall in Bagdad...interesting, since the events I have been warning you of for your state. These historic snowfalls another on the list of years and events which concideded the timframe of the Branch Davidian heriarchy. In 1993, a great blizzard would strike, it would called the Storm of the Century. In 2000, the first Branch Davidian I prophecied to, would David Thibodeau. I would recieve the Name Benjamin in a vision of David Koresh, just months before officially recieving my commission. That was in September of 2000. In July 13 - 16 of 2000 there was a historic snowstorm in Africa.
I recount hearing of the event on Television, I also recount that that was the first time I has heard, as the same newscaster cited that it was not the first time such had happened in history, that such has happened previously in the 1800s. As a matter of fact there were two recorded events of such, both very signifigant to what the world knows to today as the The Seventh Day Adventist Church.
It snowed on July 4, 1876. This was the year in which James A. Wylie would write a book titled the "History of Protestantism"
Ten years later, Ellen G. White would send out a message revealed to her from God. She was not interested in gaining fame or acclaim, or finance, She was a servant of God, and maintianed that she has a message from God. She never claimed to be a prophet, though she spoke of visions often. Her interest was in promoting the truth, her drive was the immediate welfare of the world in which she lived. She copied extensive portions and illustrations from Mr. Wylies Book in an effort to promote the truth which God had revealed to her. With the release of her first book, "The Great Controversy" she would be found guilty of Plagarism, and her persecutors whom sought to defame her message, and claims as a prophet, claims she purposefully avoided. In 1911 The revised edition of Ellen G. White's work "The Great Controversy" was published. Today, Adventists around the Globe recognize Mrs. White as a Prophet. She is not only the highest selling female Author of all time, she remains a pillar in the church.
Oh yeah, 1911, 11/11/11, the date of another freak snowstorm, The Great Blue Noreaster.
The Great Blue Norther of 11/11/11 (November 11th 1911) was the biggest
cold snap in U.S. history. Many cities broke record highs early that afternoon. By nightfall, cities were dealing with single-digit temperatures on the
Fahrenheit scale. This is the only day in many
midwest cities' weather bureau jurisdictions where the record highs and lows were broken for the same day.
In 1897 The New York Times would report of a freak snowstorm in July.
"It was during those days too, that attention was turned to primary schools, or what we call church schools. As Ellen White on April 28, 1897, gave the opening address at the new Avondale school she stressed the point that smaller children should not be neglected. She told of how for years God had been calling her attention to the importance of church schools. She told of how Adventist children attending public schools received ideas opposed to truth and associated with children whose influence was not good. She went on to say, "In localities where there is a church, schools should be established if there are no more than six children to attend" ( ibid., p. 199)."
How appropriate in light of the timeframe which God now brings me into my ministry. In a time when "the children of light" having been born into the work which David started in 1993. Are should not go neglected. Oh yes, on personal note, perahaps you should make inquires as to the events of Buffaloe NY, on Oct 12, 2006 at 3:48 PM. As I finished typing the words and pressed send, to letter which would be sent at that time to a local meterologist, Making decalrations of world events which were not only about to occur exactly as I had cited them, as revealed to me by God, but but the very minutes of that timeframe, it began to snow in Buffalo NY. Not only earlier than recorded history for that region, fulfilling events I had just typed to tell of, but it was a lake effect snowstorm which began, as the surface temperatures of the lake were somewhere around or above 60 to 70 degrees. It would devastate the region. If I remember correctly it not only broke records which stood for 137 years, but it also took place during a heat wave sweeping this nation in which cities were breaking records on a regular basis.
Something else signifigant about the day, Oct 12, is the Day in which King Cyrus The Great of Persia took Babylon in 539 BC. I don't suppose this holds any signifiagnance to most of the world, well, it does, I just don't believe they know it. Cyrus, Koresh, Was David's surname, and mine chosen, and stated as such openly to the Branch Davidian Surviors and others in an essay written several years ago, and presented in 2003, as "The Testimony of Benjamin Cyress: The Conversion of Billy Steven Crider" an essay sent only to one member of the news media, a meterologist, in Sepetmber of 2003, after a hurricane which was forecast to hit NC, would go on to be called a hundred year storm, and "the storm of the Century" as Hurricanes go. A storm I had been warning of long before it arose. Warnings based upon spiritial revelation and insight.

Famines and Floods
Although many famines coincide with national or regional shortages of food, famine has also occurred amid plenty or on account of acts of economic or military policy that have deprived certain populations of sufficient food to ensure survival. Historically, famines have occurred because of
drought, crop failure,
pestilence, and man-made causes such as war or misguided economic policies. During the 20th century, an estimated 70 million people died from famines across the world, of whom an estimated 30 million died during the
famine of 1958–61 in
China. The other most notable famines of the century included the
1942–1945 disaster in
Bengal, famines in China in 1928 and 1942, and a sequence of man-made famines in the
Soviet Union, including the
Holodomor,
Stalin's famine inflicted on
Ukraine in 1932–33. A few of the great famines of the late 20th century were: the
Biafran famine in the 1960s, the disaster in
Cambodia in the 1970s,As the war ended, a draft US AID report observed that the country faced famine in 1975, with 75% of its draft animals destroyed by the war, and that rice planting for the next harvest would have to be done "by the hard labor of seriously malnourished people." The report predicted that
2006- Oct 12, Crider warns that famine he has warned continually of for years, a unusual famine in which the issue will not be availability but affordability is looming at the door to be followed by brief relief then a more traditional famine. in the next year freak storms,floods, locusts outbreaks, murrain, and drought all of which also forcast by Crider many by event basis, destroy many crops, globally acknowledged shortages across the board wheat, rice, fruits and despite record bumper crop yeilds, Corn due to ethanol demands.
Food prices would inflate more in the one year since Crider was sent to give the warning than in atleast two decades prior, going from 2% annual infaltion and and far above and early "official" government analytst projection of 4%, to an actual 11% increase in prices.
at the time of this writing January 2008, crops in the USA suffered between an 30% minimum and an 80% maximum loss last fall across the board, no exceptions, save corn in the midwest bound for biofuels. This as the entire southeastern USA remains in the grips of the worst drought in recorded history.
"If my people which are called by name shall humble themselves and pray, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sins and heal their lands."
Perhaps some of you recall some of these events...

I told, many of you, most of you in fact, everyone of these events, before they ever surfaced in a single news article, when some dismissed the same a fabrications of a delusional mind, I told you.
And I tell you now, as sure as people died from poultry products this fall, as sure as I told you of the Hurricane which struck Galveston, outlined it's course and landfall in detail, in writing up to a month in advance, included government agencies in the same warnings all the way up to the final hours before it's fulfillment...I am telling you, no ifs. no ands. no buts....
We Must Have...REVIVAL.
Those Santa Ana winds last week, the results of our prayers. It could have been much more tragic. Look the map I sent you last week... look at the area which suffered the most power outage. They are the same. Those winds, they were Santa Ana winds, but they were far from a normal event, both in thier duration, last days longer than usual, and in thier intensity, reaching hurricane strength. It could have been much worse.
Please Pray for revival, Please start asking others to do the same.
David warned of a fire which would consume this land, the last chapter of Malachi warns:
"For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea , and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the
day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of Host, that it shall leave them niether root nor branch." Malachi 4:1
We are on the verge of Famine, Governments have been guilty in the past 3 years of hiding known information of outbreaks of Ebola, Sars, Bird flu, We Must have revival. In 6 years, half of the population of Europe was once wiped out of existance. Look beside you, anyone there? The next person you see, ...half of the human population.
God Destroyed the World once by water...it has been said that he has promised next time by FIRE.
I tell you of a certainty, We......MUST......... HAVE ....... R E V I V A L.
I have recently called your attention to the Nation of Australia...watch and pray.
"I am not a weather forecaster, I make no claims to be a prophet, I am a servant of Jah', I have come strongly suggest you watch and pray." "Benjamin"
