David Koresh

"Repeating, repeating, again and again His ultimate wisdom through many different facets. This is the way God teaches. As weve been learning the prophets over and over again, every different prophet is saying the same thing."

"These prophecies, which have been for so many years in discrepancy with one another were not designed ever to be fulfilled in the days of these prophets.... Today the prophecies remain dead because people of today are not honest with themselves to read a passage of scripture, and then come to the proper conclusion of what this prophet is saying."

"If the Bible is true, then Im Christ... But so what? Look at 2,000 years ago. Whats so great about being Christ? A man nailed to the cross. A man of sorrow acquainted with grief. You know, being Christ aint nothing."

"Were in this period of time now, aren’t we? But any day it could be cut short in righteousness. No one knows when it will be. It could be today, it could be tomorrow, you see? It could be next week."

"We are entering into a period of time where the Bible is going to be understood by somebody."

"Look, this is life, this is life and death ... theology really is life and death."

"Now go contrary to that revelation of truth, and I guarantee you Ill kill you one day."

"What if God was trying to offer you a way out of a ... present oncoming disaster of this nation, what if God has a witness to this nation because God is ready to deliverate [sic] his people ... from the bands and the rulerships of all nations, and what if God is really going to set up his kingdom like they did in ancient times. ... and what if God is ready to judge the nations ... as foretold by these prophets?"

"I know you dont want to talk religion, but thats all I am is religion."

"If you don’t follow the truth you[re] going to hell! Psalms 90! Youd better start fearing God, cause he’s going to burn you in the lowest hell! His love! Hes trying to show you he’s gonna kill you! If you don’t listen! Listen to [the] Lord! You don’t know his fear now. You dont know his terror yet! You haven’t seen his anger. But you go ahead and dare Him! ... Do you hear?! Do you understand? Its war. These governments of this world are coming to an end. The minds of men are going to be focused on a fact! Go ahead and laugh! Go ahead and muse in your minds. And see what happens to you, fools!"

"The ones who believe the seventh seal believe in Cyrus to deliver them from captivity. The message of Cyrus, the angel that ascends from the east, that same person who is also compassed with iniquity and infirmity, that same person is going to be able to stand before Christ and explain to Christ why we are so bad the way we are. That’s why in the message of Revelation 18:1, Babylon is fallen, is fallen."

"Theres a hidden secret. God today has a plan contrary to any human planning. Its a plan to destroy mankind in a way that theyve never known, a way that he can save them, and were privileged to break down the walls of human wisdom."
