REINHARD BONNKE
False Prophet for Lord Maitreya?
<Picture>
------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP THREE IN THE SATANIC "TREASURE HUNT"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reinhart Bonnke was the evangelist in Uhuru park in Nairobi who
prophesied on a Thursday, three days before Maitreya's appearance in a
Muslim Village, Kawangware, Nairobi, "...that God had, on Thursday,
informed [ Reinhart Bonnke ] that they [ Nairobi Muslim citizens ]
would experience the presence of Jesus and great miracles on
Saturday..."
Thus, Bonnke was the on-site prophet of the Maitreya. You may say,
"NO, but Benjamin Creme was the prophet." I do not agree. A prophet
makes accurate and precise predictions. Creme has been prophesying
Maitreya's appearance in the most general terms for years. He NEVER
gives dates and places. Creme also gave a year of Maitreya's
appearance some years back, and Maitreya didn't co-operate. Creme
almost lost his whole following.
However; Reinhart Bonnke made this on-the-scene prophecy, and it was
dated, AND it came true. Thus, the honor of False Prophet MUST go to
Reinhart Bonnke. We would do him a gross injustice to give this honor
to any other alleged prophet.
Now, here is the history of Reinhart Bonnke. You MUST read this
because, from this tale, you will learn precisely where you stand as a
member of the Charismatic Movement, Holy Laughter, Third Wave, Toronto
Blessing, or any other such group.
This is a very long page. I am going to show you that Reinhart Bonnke
is the godfather of the Holy Laughter movement. To do this, I will
give you the whole story so that you have no need to just take my word
for it. Please read all of it.

A History of the Worldwide Awakening of 1992-1995

INTRODUCTION
<Picture>
During the early 1990s, a revival, or reawakening of Christian faith,
became evident in many parts of the world. Receiving its initial
impetus from the ministries of many people, including Claudio Freidzon
of Buenos Aries, Argentina, Rodney M. Howard- Browne, a South African
evangelist ministering in the United States, Mahesh Chavda of
Charlotte, North Carolina and Cindy Jacobs of Colorado Springs,
Colorado, this outpouring of God's Spirit touched a large number of
people in many places. An unusual visitation among the Vineyard
Churches which originated in Mississauga, Ontario, outside of Toronto,
on January 20, 1994 also brought this new anointing to many people in
mainline denominational and non-denominational churches throughout the
world.
At all of the meetings associated with this fresh outpouring, there
have been many emotional and physical healings. Many people have
encountered God anew or afresh, and have been brought to a place of
repentance and brokenness. People have often fallen down under the
anointing of the Holy Spirit, become "drunk" in the Spirit, and become
filled with the joy of the Lord, laughing almost uncontrollably, or
weeping or shaking. Large numbers of children have been affected, many
of whom have reported seeing visions of heavenly things. Phenomena of
this kind characterized a revival that began in 1992 in Buenos Aires,
Argentina under Claudio Freidzon. According to a publication of the
Assemblies of God, MOUNTAIN MOVERS (October 1993, p. 6), at Freidzon's
meetings, "as people entered into adoration and worship, some became
'drunk' on the Spirit and could not stand up. Others laughed in the
Spirit or fell under the power of God. Each service lasted six or
seven hours. Outside, hundreds waited in lines that stretched around
the block to get into the church."
Some of the components of the revival were evident for several years
in many places. A. L. Gill, a prominent missionary from California,
saw the "holy laughter" in his meetings throughout the world beginning
in 1983, culminating with the summer of 1993, when he led a praise and
worship seminar at Doug Girard's Vision Christian Center on Chestnut
Street in Lawrenceville, Georgia, near Atlanta. This seminar exploded
into healing after a woman was dramatically healed of cancer of the
tongue. The meetings were extended over a period of many days, and
became known as the Chestnut Street Revival.
Tony and Marj Abram, missionaries from Arkansas, also saw drunkenness
in the Spirit and the "holy laughter" in many places for several
years. They first observed it in 1986 at an Assemblies of God church
pastored by John Lipton, currently of Dover, in England.
A church in Riverside, New Jersey, just outside of Philadelphia, East
Coast For Jesus Ministries, pastored by Louis Halcomb, was at the
center of a worldwide sovereign move of the Spirit beginning in the
late 1980s. Particularly after Operation Desert Storm in early 1991,
Halcomb began seeing God move in unusual ways wherever he ministered.
Local newspapers in Paris, France, Geneva, Switzerland, the
Philippines, reported on the revivals in these places in the wake of
his ministry. Halcomb saw many people slain in the Spirit, laughing in
the Spirit, drunken in the Spirit, and experiencing deliverances.
In one case, when Aleen Backsly was at Halcomb's church, people were
slain in the Spirit everywhere. She would hug people in the foyer, and
they would fall down. At the same time, outside, people who were
getting out of their cars were falling down under the power of the
Spirit as their feet hit the pavement, and it caused problems for
those who were trying to park cars in the church parking lot.
East Coast For Jesus Ministries became influential to a number of
other churches, including Calvary Worship Center in Port St. Lucy,
Florida, pastored by Thomas E. Smith and Bob Roach. Calvary Worship
Center experienced a sovereign move of the Holy Spirit beginning in
the late 1980s which reached new heights during its building
dedication in July of 1994, which was preceded by a week of prayer and
fasting. In this case, the revival wasn't the result of any special
visitors, but there was a spontaneous outbreak of revival and its
associated phenomena, including holy laughter, drunkenness in the
Spirit, and other manifestations. As a result of this new outbreak of
revival, they began twelve services a week. Their new building seated
550 people, but they found it necessary to have two services on Sunday
mornings in order to accommodate everyone.
According to Bob Roach, prior to the awakening associated with Rodney
Howard-Browne's ministry and that of the Toronto Airport Vineyard,
when LaVerne and Edith Tripp visited Calvary Worship Center, LaVerne
was slain in the Spirit as soon as he arrived, and had to be carried
into the sanctuary to preach. At the time he said, "your church is the
best kept secret in America."
Bob Roach said that "there has been a move across the United States in
smaller churches that nobody really knows anything about that has
preceded the more visible signs of awakenings. In one case, Stan
Johnson, formerly a professional ball player with the New York
Yankees, visited and taught on the anointing for a 6 or 7 hour
service. People came in stretchers and were raised up, and this was
recorded on video. Many prophets come in and out of that church,
including Ed Corley, whose ministry is very similar to that of Derek
Prince, and Mike Connors, who was at one time A. A. Allen's associate,
and who is also a friend of Wade Taylor's at Pinecrest. We want to
make sure that it's God working in our midst, and we're seeing so many
lives change and marriages put back together, and pastors going back
to their churches restored and refreshed. In 1991 or 1992, Dr. Ron
Shaw brought in Reinhart Bonnke (Shaw's brother-in-law), and there was
a tremendous impartation given to the pastors who were there,
including Rodney Howard-Browne, who was visiting from Karl Strader's
Church (the first time he was there). Rodney did the offering at that
time, and was one of many, many pastors and leaders who received a
real impartation from Bonnke."

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Balaam's Ass Speaks: Editor-- By the definition of the Charismatic
Theology, this "impartation" was the power of the Holy Ghost to serve
or pass on the power to others. You will realize then two things:
ONE: Reinhart Bonnke was the one who gave to Rodney Howard Browne the
power which was the basis of the Holy Laughter Movement.
TWO: If you have been in one of Browne's sessions of spiritual
drunkenness and debauchery, you will have come to the conclusion that
Rodney Howard Browne's power is the power of Satan and devils. That
Satanic power came directly from Reinhart Bonnke.
I must risk boring you now with the history of Reinhart Bonnke as a
missionary and his work in Africa up to recent times. This will show
you why he was Satan's choice as False Prophet in Nairobi, Kenya in
1988, in a Muslim village where Maitreya appeared.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life History and Work of Reinhart Bonnke
<Picture>
The following history of Reinhart Bonnke is taken from Dictionary of
Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements, Zondervan, circa 1990.
BONNKE, REINHARD WILLI GOTTFRIED (1940- ). International evangelist.
Reinhard Willi Gottfiied Bonnke was born in Koenigsberg, Germany, on
April 19, 1940, the son of a Pentecostal pastor belonging to the
Federation of Free Pentecostal Churches (Bund Freier Pfingstneinden
EBFP]). Educated in Wales, he met George Jeffreys (1889-1962) as a
youth. From his earliest days he felt called to be a missionary to
Africa. His marriage to Anna Sulzle in 1964 produced three children:
Kai-uwe (1966), Gabriele (1967), and Susanne (1969). After several
years as a pastor and evangelist in Germany, he arrived in Africa in
May 1967.
From 1967 to 1974, Bonnke labored with meager results as a traditional
missionary for the BFP in Lesotho, Africa. In the latter year he
received a call to minister "to the whole of Africa" with the
assurance that "Africa shall be saved." His first mass healing crusade
took place in Gaberones, Botswana, in April 1975, which began with
only 100 persons in attendance and ended in a packed stadium with over
10,000 present.
In 1977 he purchased a 10,000-seat tent, which often was inadequate
when as many as 40,000 attempted to enter. A blond-haired, blue-eyed
German, Bonnke was at a loss to explain his popularity among the
blacks with whom he Identified. Everywhere he ministered, even in
South Africa, Bonnke refused to practice racial segregation in his
services.
A major attraction in Bonnke's meetings were the signs and wonders
that accompanied his preaching, with thousands testifying to miracles
of physical healing and exorcisms in his crusades. Also featured in
many meetings were bonfires that were set as converts burned their
magic amulets and charms associated with witchcraft. Everywhere Bonnke
encouraged his converts to receive the baptism in the HoTy Spirit with
the evidence of speaking in tongues. Also, at times, thousands would
be "slain in the Spirit" as he preached.
During the early 1980s Bonnke's crusades attracted some of the largest
crowds in the history of mass evangelism. One crusade in Nigeria in
1986 attracted as many as 250,000 to one service. His crusades in
Soweto attracted thousands of blacks and whites despite the official
government policy of apartheid.
In 1983 Bonnke purchased the largest gospel tent ever built, one that
would hold some 34,000 persons. Although it was torn apart in a severe
storm in Capetown in 1984, it was rebuilt and put back into use by
1986. In the latter year, Bonnke's team reported 1,500,000 responses
to the call for salvation, many thousands of whom were Muslims.
By the mid-1980s Bonnke also began conducting leadership conferences
in Africa and Europe. His "Fire Conference" in Zimbabwe in 1986 drew
thousands of African pastors and evangelists, while his "Eurofire"
conferences in FrankfUrt in 1987 and Birmingham in 1988 brought his
ministry to the attention of Europeans. His ministry in the U.S.
increased after speaking in the New Orleans Superdome in 1987 to the
Congress on the Holy Spirit and World Evangelization.
In 1987 Bonnke moved his family from Johannesburg, where he had lived
for many years, to Frankfurt, West Germany, where he set up
headquarters for his organization which, since Its legal beginning in
1972, has been known as Christ for All Nations (CFAN).

CONCLUSION:
<Picture>
Did you think this would never end :-) ? Well, this is it.
We come to the conclusion of this study in Satan's men. Reinhart
Bonnke was clearly a prime mover in the Holy Laughter Movement. He
passed "The Power" to Rodney Howard Browne, and we now know that
Browne was, until that day, a drop out and academic reject from the
Rhema Movement. Browne got his prima donna debut, and he became the
"bar tender" of Satan in the drunken orgies of Holy Laughter, from
which thousands of Charismatics have fled in fear and embarrassment.
Have you?
We also see that Bonnke claims many of his now 2 million "converts"
have been Muslims. This fulfills a prophecy reported by John Mac
Arthur in which a Melodyland Prophet in the 1970s prophesied a "great
moving of the Holy Spirit among millions of Muslims who will be filled
with the Spirit"-- no mention of salvation! Old time missionaries
know very well that Muslims DO NOT come to Christ by the thousands,
period, full stop! Research by Charismatics has recently confirmed
that these claims, which were later made on TBN, are lies.
Now, here is the punch line. Bonnke, source of demonic power of the
Holy Laughter Movement, promoter of unbiblical "fire" evangelism, and
self-proclaimed Evangelist to millions of Muslims, was in Uhuru Park,
Nairobi, the Thursday before "Lord Maitreya" appeared to a village of
Muslims who were thronged around an occult priestess of Satan who
carried a crucifix (as the photo on the previous page showed).
Bonnke, for the first time in the history of Maitreya, called the
day, Saturday following, and city of the appearance of Maitreya, and
attributed the appearance to The Lord Jesus Christ. The crowd in the
Muslim village, undoubtedly aware of Bonnke's prophecy three days
earlier, at once fell down in worship of Maitreya, calling him Jesus
Christ.
I have to be careful now. You, dear reader, have no idea how I hate
the heresy of Charismatic "fire," Holy Laughter, "impartation of
power," "slain in the spirit," and all the jerk-water activities that
go on and are passed off as the work of the Holy Ghost of the Godhead.
Nevertheless; there are many in the Charismatic movement who are
truly born again by faith in The Lord Jesus Christ. To you I plead--
"Come out of her my people."
I weep for you. Why stay in this Whore system. If this "Lord
Maitreya" is not the Antichrist, he is doing a great dress rehearsal
my friend. Your man Bonnke is perhaps the greatest pivotal power
source in the Third Wave, and he is Maitreya's False Prophet. How do
you want to be caught up to the Bridegroom? Babbling like a fool
about some jerk who is Satan's personal Major Domo for the next seven
years of demonic Laodicean vomit? Oh please, "come out of her."
Choose you this day, whom you will serve-- Baal of God?
DON'T GO BONKERS WITH BONNKE!
Credit where credit is due. Thank you Jeffrey W_____ for catching
this Maitreya business for me. To the reader, Jeffrey used to attend
Promise Keepers rallies. He now has made a vow to never do so again,
and he is spreading the word about our pages on PK. Jeffrey meets
with a "small group" who are determined to stay on the Narrow Way--
Oh yes, the group is not Baptist or "Fundamentalist." They are
post-Third Wave Bible believers. Praise the Lord. H ALLELUJAH! It's
OK to shout here :-)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I PREDICT:
<Picture>
I am now going to suggest two very likely points at which this
Maitreya will appear next. I am not a prophet nor the son of a
prophet, but I am not ignorant of Satan's devices. Jesus did not
present Himself to the elite in royal or religious power. This
alleged "Maitreya" is doing just the same in order to perpetuate the
Messianic myth of the Antichrist. His policy is peace, and he
approaches at first softly. Daniel 8:25 And through his policy also
he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify
himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also
stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without
hand. If you think the Pope is the Antichrist, think again. He is
perhaps as much UNLIKE Jesus as any man on earth.
Thus:
ONE-- I expect Maitreya to appear to Roman Catholics who will mistake
him for Jesus Christ, I believe he may soon appear at a famous shrine.
Fatima is the most likely one since it is named after Muhammed's
daughter, and this would draw Islam and the Whore of Rome into a
single bond of nearly half the world's population. Crazy? Hey, were
you reading carefully? Islam and Christendom was the joint target in
Nairobi. You better start thinking prophetically, friend. Jack Van
Impe-- Take note please. Bonnke beat you out of the big time job as
Prophet. Hey Jack, how about coming home to your old friends and get
clean? You too, Peter LeLonde. Get out of that TBN sewer before
Maitreya is in the "guest chair."
TWO- There are two principle festivals which draw millions of Muslims
together in one place. These are the most likely events at which this
Maitreya might appear to Muslims. Muslims would see him as the
returned Madhi, Muhammed's counterfeit Messiah. Here are the events
as described by an Islamic Web page at
http://wwwcgi.umr.edu/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/msaumr/hevent:
Eidul Fitr (1st of Shawwal, 10th month) This would happen in
February, very likely in Mecca or Madina.
At the conclusion of the month of Ramadhan, on the first day of the
10th month of Islamic lunar calendar, Muslims all over the world
celebrate Eidul Fitr. This is one of two main festivals of Islam.
The ceremony of Eidul Fitr start early morning with a worship service.
This service is generally held in a large open place and is attended
by thousands of Muslims. After the prayer, a short sermon was
delivered and then the people greet each other. The rest of the
ceremonies are held generally privately with families and friends.
The significance of Eid is that it is the day of thanksgiving to Allah
that He give the opportunity to Muslims to benefit from and enjoy the
blessing of the month of Ramadhan.
<Picture>
OR:
<Picture>
Eidul Adha (10th of Thw al-Hijjah, 12th month) This happens in April,
right after the Hajj or Pilgrimage.
Following the day of Hajj or Pilgrimage (9th of Thw al-Hijjah), it
comes the Eidul Adha day. It begins from the 10th of the 12th month of
Islamic lunar calendar. This is the second main annual festival in
Islam. On this day, like on the Eidul Fitr celebration, festivities
begin with a prayer service held in an open place in the morning of
the first day. This prayer is usually attended by a large number of
Muslims. Since this festival occurs immediately after the Day of
Pilgrimage, those who go to make pilgrimage celebrate it in Mina, near
Makkah. Other Muslims around the world also join with the pilgrims in
their joy and thanksgiving.
One significance of Eidul Adha is that it is a time of sacrifice.
Muslims commemorate Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice
everything for Allah including his beloved son, Ishmael. Since Allah
gave Prophet Abraham a lamb to sacrifice instead of sacrificing his
son, Muslims also offer the sacrifice of animals. The sacrifice can be
done after the prayer on the 10th until 12th day of Thw al-Hijjah
month before sunset. The meat of the animals is given to needy people
and friends and a portion of it is also kept for one's own
consumption. Often people cook this meat during holidays, make feasts
and enjoy the celebration.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last Word: Please don't make a fetish cult out of this stuff. You
and I are supposed to be pre-occupied with watching for The Lord Jesus
Christ, not the Devil's man. Caution please. Ah yes, but please DO
warn the lost sheep and those sheep who are over yonder cuddling the
Wolf. You dear few loyal saints in the UK-- get on down to London
and spread the word on this. Benjamin Creme must NOT have the last
word.
