THE THINGS THAT ARE TO COME!

Chapter XIV

Reason and I have been sent to many places and upon many assignments. We have been sent, at times, to test the hearts and souls and the goodness and sincerity of individuals and their integrity and trustworthiness. And we have sometimes been sent to assist in helping to open the understandings of those who are prepared to receive help, or who have requested it.

And of those whom we have been sent to contact few have known who we were, though some have suspected. And some of those who have learned of our identity have failed temporarily, not through intention, but because they were so eager to inform others of their experiences and of their having been selected or singled out, as they supposed, above others. These blessed, erring ones are still seeking so ardently to exalt that little mortal self they have retarded their own progress. And these, through many tests and many trials, may perhaps in time overcome in a triumphant glory of release. But first they will have the terrific struggle to overcome that little "self" which they have increased with power and magnified in strength through their own pride and because of their weakness to magnify their own importance. A few have even broken their sacred oath of silence and in doing so have boasted in vain.

And there are many, who are fulfilling the glory of their destinies in magnificent splendor and dynamic progress. These are the ones, who, in silent glory of devotion are yielding that strident, little pride-filled, mortal "self" over to God in an utter and complete surrender of highest devotion. These are gradually receiving their "HIGHER" -- calling. Or it could be said, "Their calling and election is made sure." They, in the opening of their own hearts, minds and souls to God are prepared to be "filled with the very fulness of God,” and with the complete knowledge of Him. They have, through high devotion brought forth that divine Light of Jesus Christ from right within themselves.


In Los Angeles is an assortment of all that is -- the wickedness and crime and an undercurrent of evil that is awesome in its power. There are also those who are Devil worshipers and they realize it not. There are those as wildly fanatical in their devotion to false gods as were the ancient inhabitants of Cannan in their worship of the sun God Baal, or to the monster Molech, to whom they fed their children.

There are numerous cults and creeds in that city neath the sun. And no matter how contorted their beliefs, for there is everything from black magic to worshipers of reincarnation, which denies the resurrection and the divine teachings of Jesus Christ. And there are dozens of distorted ideas of Christianity. And each group is most positive that it alone knows truth or has any claim upon it. And no matter how weird and contorted and false are the doctrines propounded, there are those who give ear and follow.

And above the tumult and the confusion of Babel comes the gentle, powerful voice of Christ, "My sheep hear my voice, and they know me and a stranger they will not follow!"

And many of these great and noble ones, who know His voice were directed to Los Angeles as definitely and unerringly as was Christine Mercie. And many since have been called away from that area with a new commission resting on their shoulders. There are various centers in America where His chosen ones are being prepared speedily and swiftly for a part in His dynamic work of glory, though not all of them fully realize it yet, perhaps because they have not been openly called or organized into groups. They, however, are being prepared individually. And occasionally they do meet each other and the power of their meetings is felt over the world.

These noble ones are already beginning to outshine the sun, though they know it not. They cannot yet be given that knowledge lest their exalted pride retard their progress. But it is through these that the bonds of righteousness are being established on the earth in order to withstand the great things which are to come.

No two cities are alike in their receptiveness, their desiring or in their evils or in their devotions.

San Francisco is more orthodoxed; more sealed in traditional conformity; more satisfied with things, just as they are.

Sacramento is almost entirely asleep in its contentment. Reason and I were sent there to fulfill a very important and different type of assignment than any previous one. The moment that assignment was completed we were taken away, only to be called back for one brief half-hour, by one who had requested it with all the strength of her soul. And her request was answered, though from that moment on much more will be required of her.

Chicago is a city where evil is conceived and born. New York is a city of darkness and iniquity. Philadelphia, the city of "Brotherly love" is losing the gift of love speedily and in an alarming degree.

There are many cities which are developing what they believe is a condition of smog. Be it here known that the seeming combination of smoke and fog, along with the gasses and fumes of modern industry is not the entire cause of those shrouded cities. There is a deeper cause behind those veils of darkness. It is a condition more menacing than all the fog and fumes arising over those vast, condemned areas.

Reason and I have been sent to many of these great cities as well as to many individuals in various stages of advancement. The more spiritually advanced an individual is the more his eyes behold the light. And each person beholds us according to his own degree of spiritual understanding. And to many we have remained completely out of vision.

We have been sent to many places and on as many varieties of assignments. We have wept with sorrow as we have beheld the great tidal waves of greed sweep away the powerful, holy strength of honest integrity. Where a man is entitled to make a margin of profit nothing less than a hundred or even a thousand percent is now satisfactory.

Politicians sell out their nations and their people for financial gain. They have sold and are selling their own souls for "thirty pieces of silver" and realize it not. There are many, in high places, who are linked together in secret, evil combinations to rob and plunder the treasuries of the departments in which they have been called to serve. The wealth of many nations is thus being confiscated and drained away in misuse. Many betray every trust as they swagger forth defiled and defiling, plundering and robbing in their refined, cultured way of modern hypocracy.

Only a few times, in the history of the world, have men's clutching hands been so filled with greed, their hearts so contaminated with the lust for wealth that they have lost the gift of mercy. And never have men's minds been so set upon gain. And never have morals been so low except in the great nations of the past, which, ripened in iniquity, were destroyed from the face of the earth, or were left to totter down the ages, shorn of their glory.

In the days of the Spanish despoilers their barbaric conquests for gold alone has equaled the greed of this day. And today, five centuries later, the descendants of those cruel ravagers are the most heartless in their grasping methods. They rob the poor and the hungry and leave their people in a state of destitute suffering and woe. And that distressing cry of misery is arising to the throne of heaven -- and it is not unheard.

These grasping, almost inhuman members of society, these politicians and officials, in high places whose hands are filled with unlawful gains, are themselves releasing the winds of retribution upon the earth.

Riding those winds is their own destruction as the waves of fury are lashed into a frenzy of overwhelming disaster, for riding those winds and those waves, that have been stirred up by greed and lust, is Communism. And the Devil and his angels are riding with them.

The world is speedily ripening in iniquity. The floods of destruction cannot long be withheld. Only the direct command of God is momentarily controlling those destroying angels, for already has the edict been given: "See that you hurt not the trees, nor the grass, nor any green thing until the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads." (Rev. 7:2-3-)

This is repeated and verified in Revelations, chapter nine and verses one to six, as follows: "And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

"And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a great smoke out of the pit as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

"And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power as the scorpions of the earth have power.

"And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

"And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months, and the torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.

"And in those days shall men seek death and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."

After this period of suffering and peril, which will be permitted for the sole purpose of giving the wicked another chance, the end will come speedily. This end is not the annihilation of the world, as many have supposed. It will be the end of Lucifer's reign -- the end of wickedness and evil and the suffering which goes with transgression. And then will it be thoroughly understood that it does not "take all kinds of people to make up a world."

"And the loftiness of men shall be bowed down and the haughtiness (pride) of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

"And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

"And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for the fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

"In that day shall man cast his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which they have made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats:

"To go into the clefts of the rocks and into the tops of the ragged rocks for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

"Cease ye from men, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?" (Isa. 2:17-22). This command to cease giving your support to men, but to God only is the command to cease trusting in the arm of flesh, but go to God that you might KNOW Him!

"And the kings of the earth (the rulers and politicians), and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains:

"And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne, and from the wrath of the lamb.

"For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" (Rev. 6:15-17). After the sun has been darkened and moon turned to blood and the wicked will have been given a brief period in which to repent, there will come greater destructions and perils than this world has ever before beheld.

Instead of darkness there will be a day of great heat in which the trees and grass and the green vegetation will be burned and shriveled to a crisp. "The moon will be as bright as the sun and the sun will be seven times brighter than seven days." It will be forty-nine times brighter and forty-nine times hotter than any ordinary day. (Isa. 30:26)

In that day the wicked, or those who have sinned too greatly to repent, "will lift up their voices and curse God, and die!" And in that day the wicked will be taken from the earth, for as promised from the beginning, "The meek shall inherit the earth!" "His spirit will be poured out upon all flesh,” And those who are not purified cannot abide the day!" Those who have only polluted and defiled this beautiful world with their evils and greeds and lusts and whoremongering and murders will no longer be permitted to remain here. And even then, in His great mercy God will only remove them to other spheres or realms where they can "pay the uttermost farthing" for their rebellions and evils, and will be prepared finally to be released, with a chance of new beginnings, but with a memory of their old failures upon them.

Those who have not only sinned but have fought Light and Truth, and thus indirectly God, will become extinct. For them will come the second death, the death of the spirit, as they are consumed by the glory of His outpouring Light.

Every adversary of truth and of righteousness, every evil-doer, every individual on this earth, who has turned aside for a thing of naught, is even now being gathered into bundles, or groups, for the tares are being separated from the wheat -- not the wheat from the tares, as in previous times. This reverse procedure is in itself a strange act and most unusual, for never before has this taken place. Always the great movements of the past have been to gather up the righteous -- not the wicked. The movement of Hitler was to gather up the wicked and to lead them out to destruction. The movement of Communism is to gather up the wicked, or those who have forfeited their right to their free-agency by becoming too passive. Here in America they are being gathered likewise into ways and avenues that will bring their downfall speedily and swiftly, and they realize it not.

The righteous are the ones who have learned to love, to listen to His voice, and to obey that voice. They are the ones who are perfecting, within themselves, that New Song of praise and love and gratitude. These are the ones who have exalted their love and developed the power of their faith until they are "filled with Light and will soon comprehend all things" for they are being prepared to have this power of light and knowledge and complete truth opened unto them.

When that divine, holy Light has been developed and brought forth from within, until it not only fills the hearts and souls, but every cell and fibre of their bodies and the tissues of their minds, that Light will become apparent to those who are spiritually advanced enough to behold it. That Light will be visible in their foreheads, or on their brows. This is the seal of God that has been promised. His seal is always Light.

At first only those, who are themselves righteous, will be able to discern that seal in others. However, before the work is completed, "All men will be able to discern between the righteous and the wicked, saith your God." (Malachi 3:18). And there is no power in existence that can fake that seal. It is radiantly beautiful. And glory be to him who wears it.

The destroying angels are waiting under that strict command, at the present time, to withhold their hands, "until the saints are sealed."

The great work of the NOW is to help in bringing forth that Light, by humbly assisting the righteous to place that seal upon themselves as they glorify God in a new devotion of increasing love and gratitude.

This is the work of Reason and I, along with others, have been ordained to help fulfill.

These mighty ones, and all you who are now preparing yourselves in love and faith, will have that seal placed upon your foreheads as you bring forth that triumphant, Celestial Song of everlasting power into its full measure of divine harmony, for these released vibrations are the great Christ Light. This Song contains the full vibratory glory of His exquisite, powerful Light that fulfills all things. And when it is established permanently within one's entire being, then will that seal be visible, to the righteous and in the righteous.

Love and praise and worship and adore and give thanks that God has sent His angels to stand beside you until "your calling and election is made sure!" Or until you no longer doubt, for the command is: "Doubt not! Fear not! But rejoice evermore!"

In your hands will be placed power such as you have never dreamed of possessing. When the catastrophes come, and they will come speedily, you will have the power of the Almighty upon you. And with outstretched arms you will be able to assist in holding back the complete annihilation of the earth. You will have the power, in that day, to rebuke and command even death -- to ease suffering and to glorify God in your every action for your lives will become sanctified unto Him as you become servants in His hands in every deed. You will have the power to protect your loved ones, if so be they will permit. The power of God will be so mighty upon you you will be able to walk through the fires of a perishing world and help preserve it from annihilation.

"The great and mighty day of the Lord is at hand!"

It is the day in which, "One mighty and strong will be sent to set the house of God in order." Such a one would not be needed to be sent if everything was not out of order. There are those who are mistakenly anticipating that one of the most holy, divine ones from on High will be sent to approve and associate with them. In this hope they err greatly. "That one mighty and strong" will not come to approve and to exalt. "That one" will hold the sword of rebuke up in condemnation. "That one mighty and strong" will remove the proud and the arrogant. He will rebuke those who are out of order and who lack in love and humility and who in their self-righteousness have failed to either contact God or to seek Him. "These are the ones who have professed to know His name, and have not -- and who have blasphemed against Him in the midst of His house."

"And in that day men will pray day and night for deliverance!" For only as men humble themselves in great and mighty prayer can the house of God possibly be set in order. For then only will they be prepared to listen -- and hence -- to learn. With humbled hearts and cleansed souls, those who are spared, will covenant anew, with God, to serve only Him and to obey His laws of truth and righteousness.

"Verily, Verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people. And ALL flesh has become corrupt before my face.

"Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.

"And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord.

"First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord." (D. & C. 112)

"For the head went down to the feet, for down to the feet ran the wheel and that which was a sign upon it." (23 Ode of Solomon)

Such will be the beginning of destructions and such will be the ending as the earth is cleansed of all unrighteousness. And those unworthy to live upon it will be given opportunities to repent and to reform. And to those who desire there will be opened up new avenues of opportunity, if so be they are prepared to make use of them.

But you noble ones, who are sealed, or who are being sealed with that holy seal of Light, for you is awaiting all that your beloved hearts could ever dream of possessing, "for eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man the great things which God hath prepared for them that love Him."

You, great and noble ones, will continue upon this earth to help glorify the world. You will be assistants, under Jesus Christ, Lord of Lords, and King of kings to help establish permanent peace. And in love and under a reign of sublime beauty will an era of righteousness and peace be established. And blessed are you who are called to help establish it.

You, who carry this glorious Seal of God within your foreheads, are chosen indeed. You are the ones who, through your pure devotion, high spiritual thoughts and divine adoration have opened your hearts and minds to the full outflowing of His quickening Spirit as it is being released upon all your flesh. You noble ones have responded to the outpouring of that Celestial Christ Light, as your own love and devotion have brought it forth from within to fill your entire beings. When you are filled with this Light that "all-seeing, spiritual eye," within your foreheads will be opened to comprehend all things. And when that sacred, spiritual eye is opened, by the holy Light of Christ, the "Seal of God" is established. And no person on this earth can receive the glory of this divine blessing if he is too sealed in his own narrow, dogmatic, orthodoxed beliefs and conformity. This Seal of God can only be given to those who have opened their soul completely to His directing and brought forth that Light of Christ from within so that it is no longer a rejected factor.

"The Kingdom of Heaven" or the "Kingdom of Oranus" or "expansion" must first be opened wide from within to the great outpouring of His Holy Light in order for that Light to fill one's being and his heart and his mind. Only an unsealed mind can possibly receive that divine, holy Seal of God upon the forehead. One must be willing to test and "to prove all things" before he can receive of that dynamic, beneficial power of God's Spirit as it is poured out in increasing glory upon the inhabitants of the earth. Under the influence of this great outpouring the righteous will become more righteous, more enlightened and better prepared for that great Seal to be placed upon their brows.

Those who are completely sealed and bound by their own beliefs and traditions will remain blind and unenlightened. Those who are completely evil will become more so under the impact of His Spirit, as it is poured out upon their flesh, until they will finally be consumed by it -- "and become extinct."

You blessed ones, you who are opened and responding to His outflowing Light, Come! Prepare yourselves speedily in love and praise and gratitude, to take your places in that which is to come! For so has God commanded me to write.

"Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear let him hear,” proclaimed Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. (Matt. 13:43).

And the time is at hand!

*(The sun to be darkened: Isa. 24:23; Joel 2:10; 3:15; Mat. 24:29; Mark 13:24; Luke 23:45.)
