Please consider these tokens of grave concern.

Yahweh Koresh The FBI interpreted this final paragraph as threatening to blow up the Lake Waco Dam, though it was unclear how he would do this while holed up in Mount Carmel.

Two more letters were sent out the next day, riddled with scriptural passages and more prophecies.

On the night of Tuesday April 13, Dick DeGaran decided to call into the compound.

As Koresh's lawyer, he could circumvent the blocks other outsiders faced.

The Branch Davidians Passover was concluding the following day and de Guerin wanted to see what Koresh was thinking.

Would he be coming out soon as everybody hoped?

Steve Schneider told de Guerin that Koresh couldn't come to the phone as he was writing another letter.

It was sent out the next day and was addressed to de Guerin.

It read,

Hello Dick.

As far as our progress is concerned, here is where we stand.

I have related two messages from God to the FBI, one of which concerns present danger to people here in Waco.

I was shown a fault line running through the Lake Waco area.

An angel is standing in charge of this event.

Many people here in Waco know that we are a good people, and yet they have shown the same resentful spirit of indifference to our warnings of love.

I am presently being permitted to document in structured form the decoded messages of the seven seals.

Upon the completion of this task, I will be freed from my waiting period."

I hope to finish this as soon as possible and to stand before man to answer any and all questions regarding my actions."

Koresh went on at some length, sharing his desire for people to be saved and describing what he saw as his destiny to share the truth.
