5 Well, now, I would like, nevertheless, to give an image of Islam, this bloodthirsty and diabolical religion which must keep a people captive until the appointed time, and then kneel before its own sons in the Name of Jesus Christ. I am a rasul and I say it in the virtue of the mission that I received on April 24, 1993. Word of prophet. The hour of the judgment of God on Islam is coming! [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. 6 Before the birth of Islam, Arabs used to worship many gods amongst which Allah, the goddess of the sky whose symbol was the moon, and Al'Ozza, the morning star. You can easily understand the symbols of the moon and the star in Islam. And in the same way that Rome Christianized pagan and Roman gods and celebrations, that is also how the pagan gods and celebrations of Arabia were Islamized. The sacred words that Muslims pronounce before speaking are practices of the Kahins who are the Arab diviners. Mahomet did not seek far. Islam is, in part, a pure man-made fabrication based on already existing objects of faith. These gods were represented in the heaven by stars and on the earth by stones gathered in the Ka'ba in Mecca according to the lie of Islam. Philippekacou.org

What a beautiful and thoughtful interview!

[@hope.8.]

I am so incredibly grateful for this interview.

[@JV-oi6ch]

I first heard this very riveting interview on the radio and was very impressed with how well-spoken and articulate Shirin is though she comes from a non-English speaking background.

[@barbaraelettacamoni6398]

She has ben living in US for the last 40 years… she herself says this. Have you really listened to the interview?

[@ms.hilawe6553]

Beautiful interview

They say all Iranians who left Iran after the revolution have PTSD. Unless you have lived through a similar set of events, it's impossible to know how it feels.

[@victoriapettigrew1431]

This’s very interesting.

5 Now when a church receives the Message, it has to practice the public confession for everyone but when that church receives the baptism, those who have not been baptised can no longer confess or say anything on the others’ confessions until they are also baptised.

2 天国似乎已经变成了一个高考考场，只有一名候选人可以通过，并且所有跟随他的人 都将进入莫克夏或永远的乐园。 所有候选人都是聪明的、睿智和有才智的人，但其中 一名只受过小学教育，并且忽略了他为什么要参加高考。 “我就是这个人” ，卡库·菲利 普对我说。 在异象里我对我自己说:“但是，我在高考考场里做什么?我的学历不高， 我要写什么?”。 3 关于 1993 年的第三个异象是我们时代的永恒救赎计划中的一级异象。 这是一个至关 重要的异象，必须引起世上上所有居民的关注。 一个只上过小学且从未修过哲学课的 人怎么能进入高考? 与我一起坐在这个巨大的高考考场里的其他候选人都是谁? 他们 是伊斯兰教，基督教，犹太教，印度教，佛教，耆那教，儒教，道教，神道教和锡克教 的领导人。 在我们所有人当中，只有一名候选人会通过此高考，并将与所有跟随他的 人一起进入你称为“涅槃”的永恒天堂。 4 通往莫克夏或永恒天堂的道路，不是靠人类的智慧和冥想，而是神自己的预言启示， 神向他拣选的人 揭示了自己的完美旨意。 在创世纪中，上帝要求亚伯和该隐献祭。 经 过深思熟虑后，该隐按照宗教传统向上帝献了祭，但亚伯对上帝说:“上帝啊，我只是 个人，除非你向我透露，我怎么能知道你的意向?” 上帝对他说:“亚伯!因为你明智地 认识到，没有我，你什么都不是，我就向你揭示我所喜爱的祭品。” 上帝对亚伯说:“你 要从羊群中取一只无残疾的头生的一岁的公羔羊。把它的脂油烧在燔祭的坛上，作为我 的祭物。当这馨香的祭抵达我的面前，我就要下来祝福你。” 亚伯照着揭示行了，上帝 便接受了他的献祭。

2 Well, before starting and for the first time, I would like to say that: Bah Hermann, that Baptist evangelist who came to this Message is no more a brother. On Sunday, April 03, 2005, that was the second time that he plotted with Branhamists to attack this Message before you. If you meet him somewhere, you can greet him but his admission again to this Message is no longer possible. And I see in his letter of repentance a trick after his failure. Let him join with Branhamists, they are of the same blood. And, in peace times, in 2002, a young Burkinabe man had prophesied to him in my presence that he would be Judas Iscariot at my sides. And he got angry but isn't it fulfilled today? 3 Let all those who fight this Message, even by living a sinful life, be like him and may God bless his people forever in this age and the age to come! [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. 4 There are three reasons why I receive those who protest against the Message and my adversaries before the whole congregation, even before new souls. First, it is because I am against the two-face church. A group that is called eldersand that has some meetings apart from the whole assembly. And another group which knows nothing about what is happening. I condemn this practice; it is neither prudence nor wisdom. All that touches the spiritual must take place before everyone. Our souls are equal before God. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. Secondly, I do not believe that there can be somebody who will come to show that what I preach is wrong. And thirdly, I want to see the maturity of my assembly and if somebody believes in them and leaves me then he was not in the number of those that God gave me before the foundation of the world. The rat which escapes from your cage and goes into the bush is not lost; it was when it was with you that it was lost. 5 It is inevitable that there be storms so that our roots can get deeper [into the ground]. Yes, God will bless his people but the fate of Achan shall be the fate of our adversaries. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. 6 Well, do you remember the experience I had and which is reported in Kacou 34. It was found after a research in all the area by experts in hydraulics that it is in that place that a layer of water capable of supplying my village and the surrounding villages, including Sikensi has been found. And that is now made. Exactly, where I found myself twenty meters above the ground, is the great water point built by these experts… [Kc.30v9] [Kc.34v43] [Kc.97v8-9] [Kc.121v8] [Kc.130v10] [Kc.131v28] 7 Well, this morning I would like to talk about certain things concerning those who have already accepted this Message but I have three questions which I would like to answer first. 8 The first question is: "Brother Philippe, can a man sent from God deviate in his ministry?" The answer is: No! Otherwise that will question the omniscience of God. All those who were sent ever since Moses up to this day, entirely completed their ministry. Before they came out on the scene, God had seen them completing the mission that He had assigned to them and Matthew 25:15 says that God had chosen them according to their particular ability. I'm especially talking about the prophet messenger. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. 9 The second question is: "Brother Philippe, will the pope coming up be the antichrist?" The answer is: No! How can you believe that a pope will come to exert an influence over the whole world whereas the Bible says that all might and influence were taken away from him and that his life was only prolonged? No pope can exert the smallest pressure over the smallest country on the earth. The active beast, it's rather the United States of America. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].

1 The minimum of wisdom should permit any chosen one to recognize not only the enemy of the outside but also the enemy of the inside as Judas was despite his authentic call. And these enemies are the voices of discrepancy to pervert the voices of the truth. And I cannot understand how Ewald Frank made himself an enemy of God and of Salvation from the first moments of the death of William Branham. After Tommy Osborn, Billy Graham and many others, Ewald Frank is one of the biggest voices of discrepancy that mankind has known in this generation. And I do not understand how a small preacher was not afraid to lay his hands on what God has already completed, even if an angel came from heaven to ask him to do so. 2 If someone were to act this way, it should not be Ewald Frank ... did not God see Bosworth, Ern Baxter, Wood, Argan Bright, Schoeman, Preller, Sothman, Perry Green, or Billy Paul who were all with William Branham and who resided in the U.S.A? If William Branham was there, could Ewald Frank publish his circular letters, brochures and books beside the Message of William Branham? And which fate do you think God will reserve for him at the judgment, him and all those who are following him? These sorcerers in sheep’s clothing who know nothing about God.

15 God raised up a small prophet in the regions of Africa to speak on his behalf. "And *thou* Bethlehem, land of Juda, art in no wise the least among the governors of Juda; for out of thee shall go forth a leader who shall shepherd my people Israel.".[Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. The prophecies are being fulfilled on the earth but the humanity does not see that. You see? 16 Man has his will which is not necessarily God’s will! But God, Him, watches over his Word to fulfill It! And the Word of God is being fulfilled today for the Salvation of the humanity. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. 17 he whole world must rewrite the history of Salvation of the humanity, but this time with Africa. Not in the way which it wants to, not according to its taste but according to God’s will! To those who are outside, the lightnings and condemnations but to those who are inside, the progression through gusts of wind which are specific to the prophets’ time! And he that has ears to hear, let him hear!

4 And you know that my prayer, whether I say it or not, has always been preceded by two words! A first word addressed to God. Something like, "Lord Jesus Christ, it is because Thou hast called me on April 24, 1993 that this brother or this sister is in front of me for prayer… Answer me so that it may be seen that Thou hast really sent me. But however may thy will be done ". And to the devil, I say, "Satan, you witnessed that the Almighty God who created you and to whom you are yourself subjected has gave me a mission on April 24, 1993. In accordance with that, I order you right now to leave this soul! ". You see? This is my signature before God and men to each one of my prayers! Even if I say "O God! Heal this brother!" both of these two words are implicitly expressed. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].

18 You cannot serve God before you are baptised and consecrated by prophet Kacou Philippe. Break your pride, be humble and come here because you cannot be saved outside of prophet Kacou Philippe. Noah for his time, Isaiah for his time, Jeremiah for his time, the Lord Jesus Christ for his time, Paul for his time, Wesley for his time, Martin Luther for his time and today, prophet Kacou Philippe for the time in which we are living. And in the virtue of the vision of April 24, 1993, that cannot fail, neither on the earth, nor in the Heaven. Amen. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, and all those cannot speak of Moses because they did not know Moses.

Do you think leaving for college at 17 and not having a home or motherland to return to is a wound that will ever fully heal? Your suspicion *might* make sense if there wasn’t so much humility in her artistic practice, as she says, her work is more about raising the questions than providing the answers. You might not be able to relate to these themes, but there are many from various backgrounds who can

Your conclusion is simply indicative of your own personal unhealed wounds. Have you ever heard of the term projection? She brings everything to herself b/c this was an interview about her life and work. People who don't trust are also not trustworthy!!
