We live in a unique period in human existence and experiences in the World of Matter. We have lived through many epochs in our quest to achieve consciousness and maturity to full value as active, individually viable personalities. We have moved from a period when humanity was swinging in God’s will, a period described as heaven on earth or Eden, through increasing failure to near-complete destruction in the epochal flood.
Thereafter, the world progressed through another period of closeness to the Will of God to the era of civilizations and empires largely opposed to the Will of God. To prevent another disastrous collapse, the Love of God was sent as Jesus for our Salvation. Although of Divine Unsubstantiate origin, He had to be covered with the substance of Matter to relate with us and be relevant in Matter, i.e., he took on flesh and worked amongst us as a man amongst men. His incarnation on earth pulled us and our world back from the brink and supported our striving.
Humanity, however, did not fully accept Him as already anticipated by prophecies warning us against this failure and its disastrous consequences. We murdered the Son of God on the cross and, over the ensuing millennia, continued on our self-willed path led by the intellect under the influence of Lucifer.
We neglected and distorted the highest possible help, guidance, and support from God that came in Jesus, as we had neglected the help over all previous epochs through the many prophets and guides sent to the various nations and peoples. There is no group, people, or nation that has not received such guidance from God tailored to their maturity and needs during these epochs.
The coming of Christ was a great turning point for humanity. He anchored the Light once more in the dense darkness gripping humanity and their world.
Our world was already heading towards destruction by the time He came with the grace of salvation from God, but our rejection and murder of the Son of God at that time meant that humanity must go through a heavy judgment. As discussed in the previous blogs, it was only the mediation of the Envoys of God that permitted a last help in the mission of the Spirit of Truth, who will come as the comforter but also as the Judge, the Son of Man. This coming of the last Envoy is also often regarded as the second coming of Christ.
In the interval between the Son of God and the Son of Man, the two Envoys of God, more guidance and prophets were sent to humanity, notably Mohammed, the prophet of Arabia. The world of Matter continued on its path toward maturity and has now approached the point when it can no longer support human development. A time when the human spirits must resurrect out of Matter to higher spheres or undergo disintegration with the World of Matter and consequent dissolution of any acquired personal ego consciousness. This last epoch heralded, as Christ promised, by the Spirit of Truth, the comforter, is the time of the Son of Man, the Judge from God.
With the coming of the Son of Man, the Will of God was anchored in the Worlds of Matter, and the will of man was suspended. Events now happen largely above humanity’s control. Everything, as prophesied, must now become new in the Judgment. Unfortunately, human spirits remained deadened to the fateful events, just as Christ warned that they would.
Blunted by intellectual and material pursuits, they each went their different ways. In unimaginable intellectual conceit, they believe they have even more control, not just of the events in the material spheres around them but of their own fate. Yet…
Despite human intellectual sophistication beyond our wildest dreams, in an epoch when space travel, artificial intelligence, and other technological miracles abound, events remain beyond our control. Just over the horizon looms the specter of the collapse of all the props that hold up our conceit.
The belief in the power of money, systems of government, the moral integrity of humanity, trade, and commerce are all teetering on the brink of collapse, and all attempts by our vaunted intellect, our institutions of learning and knowledge remain powerless. As Isaiah prophesied for the time, “Take counsel together, and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand; for God is with us” (Isaiah. 8:10 KJV). The Will of God, Imanuel (God with us), is here.
The events of our time are challenging, with unprecedented upheavals in Nature to an extent that our great scientific revolution has not been able to fully understand or cope with. We live in a period of large-scale denouncement of all the values that human beings of previous epochs recognized as morally and spiritually edifying, a great turning away from true spirituality to intellectual definitions of spirituality and of God. This is the period when, as admonished in revealed knowledge, wars and rumors of wars, pestilences, and diseases are daily realities, a period where materialism has become the ultimate goal, indeed the god of the populace.
Degenerate humanity sees evidence of human progress in some of these events, and many indolent ones will not even recognize the importance of the period. In contrast, others, predominantly under the influence of the intellectual Beast, the Beast with the number 666, consider it merely a nuisance, a blot in the golden era of scientific and intellectual excellence. Most of the latter, even under the greatest possible pain, will not repent but will rather become more entrenched in the belief that science and their intellects will soon provide a solution.
Only the few who are still spiritually viable will recognize the events of this epoch as evidence of the increasing pressure of the end-time purification of a failed humanity and their World that the Love of God warned us about.
Failed humanity, those that have completely turned away from God, claim the state of our World today as the golden era of intellectual excellence and are proud to assert that a more glorious future led by an autonomous human intellect operating at its heights is on the horizon. They call this AI, and even those who are not completely spiritually dead are confused, for who has not marveled at the technical and scientific achievements of our time?
On closer intuitively alert observation, however, this epoch shows all the hallmarks of the activity of a dominant human intellect. The human intellect that has always followed the lead of Satan, individually and collectively nurtured over epochs by humanity, has now taken on a form representing collective human intellectual volition. This form, arising in fine or ethereal Matter, as warned in the revelation, is the beast that dominates human striving in this epoch. Not surprisingly, everything is now defined in terms of its material relevance, this being the scope and ambiance of the intellect.
As prophesied, this Beast arising from humanity will have the number of Man, the number 666, and will force the unwary into the worship of Satan to keep them enslaved and asleep in this most critical epoch of human experiences in the World of Matter. Only the few who are spiritually viable will be protected from the rampaging effects of the intellectual Beast. (see earlier post on the Beast from humanity).
However, for those who still wish to strive after the Light, the events of our time also provide a golden opportunity to awaken to the Love of God anchored in these events. For these relatively few, the challenges of the period may, of course, also bring some suffering and pain because of faults that still cling to them and which they are thereby being urged to drop. However, if they accept the support granted in the Word from God for the end-time as promised by the Son of God, they achieve and experience inner peace and abiding joy.
In the turmoil, they find the blessed promise that ‘he who dwells in the shelter of the most high will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.’ That the protective Power of Omniscience surrounds he who pitches his tent in the laws and ordinances of God’s Will.
Be not unequally yoked!
Humanity on earth today falls naturally into two broad categories: those who still retain a longing towards God and may be regarded as spiritually viable, and those who no longer have a spiritual awareness and thus can no longer be saved. The latter are spiritually dead or asleep, but because the spiritual core within continues to animate the material shell, they have a semblance of life. In these end times, the Creative Will of God, the manifestation of the Laws in Creation, has separated the spiritually viable from the spiritually dead, the wheat from the weed, although both continue to live in Matter side by side until the end of the judgment.
Those who are still spiritually viable must recognize their homogeneity and, as admonished, leave the dead to bury the dead, i.e., not associate intimately with those who no longer have a longing for God. This is also the sense of the admonition to avoid being unequally yoked with people of different spiritual homogeneity. Identifying our homogeneity is made all the easier because the Laws of God are now fully empowered by the incarnation of the Light Envoy on earth for the end of the ages. The operations of the Laws are intensified and return their fruits more promptly, and through experiencing them, we are permitted to recognize our standing. All we need do is remain intuitively alert and experience everything in joyful gratitude to God.
While all may still live side by side on earth, each individual will experience the events of the purification judgment differently. This difference lies in the day-to-day, even minute-to-minute adjustments we make to the pressures of the anchored Divine Will. It all revolves around personal choices. The soul that wishes or chooses to go into captivity to the darkness, into captivity it will go, while those who wish to strive towards the Light will swing all the more quickly above the levels of the influence of the darkness.
The events of our time, the threat to our world and everything in it, are due to the failure of human spirits. The failure can be viewed from a spiritual and nonspiritual point of view, for there are no others. From the narrow, non-spiritual, or material viewpoint, the events result from human failure in terms of the wrong use of the resources of the earth. The majority of humanity, who are limited to only the narrow material viewpoint, is talking about the excessive burning of fossil fuels resulting in climate instability and the accumulation of arms with the intention of wars resulting in wars in all corners of the earth with a threat of global conflagration.
In these people, the intellect dominates over spiritual volition; feelings and emotions dominate over spiritual intuition, and material goals override spiritual aspirations. Underlying all this is the self-centered ambition for material acquisition that has led to the loss of any higher values and any love for fellow human beings. These give rise to a world in which the human spirits seek to inflict excessive suffering and pain on each other only to satisfy their personal goals – a veritable hell on earth.
From the spiritual point of view, those who are spiritually alert and can truly see perceive the events not only as a consequence of human failure but specifically as humanity’s failure to align with the Will of God. The events result from our inability to live in such a way as to help establish the Kingdom of the Father on earth, which failure now necessitates purification and balance.
Unfortunately, even these spiritually awakened and awakening ones are largely indolent. It is true that they aspire to recognize the path that will lead them out of the swamp, but they are too indolent to take responsibility for their lives. They prefer to depend on preachers, priests, Imams, etc., who really only make a business of it and who ultimately lead them astray – promising heaven but delivering hell.
The viable human being who wishes to stand and survive this epoch must make a personal decision and reach out to the help and support sent from the Light in the Word by himself or herself. Redemption from the darkness lies only in the word now anchored as a last support in Creation by the Envoys of God. For indeed, we can no longer do it on our own. Neither through intellectual excellence on which the non-spiritually viable depend nor on blind belief led by so-called men of God on which most of the seekers depend.
We are spiritual beings in transient existence in a transient World of Matter. We must pursue a goal that should drive us towards the Luminous spheres from where we came. We need to see the value of these times as a call to an awakening, a call to reach out to the Love of God enshrined in the Word from the Light.
Two major Light events have now converged to bring us support at this point. First, about 2000 years ago, the Son of God anchored the Light in our darkness and brought us the possibility of Salvation. We rejected Him and crucified Him on the Cross. But in His Mission of Love, He had laid a path out of the darkness for those who not only believed in Him but who lived according to His Word and the Will of His Father. To these, whom He identified as His followers, He gave two further help from the Light.
First is an empowering by the Holy Spirit, which He described as a recurring promise of the Father. He connected them consciously to this Power at Pentecost, and this Power has remained with all true adherents as the necessary empowering for our activity as children of God. The Power of the Holy Spirit has always poured into Creation to empower and sustain and has always been available to all who are open to it. The Mission of the Son of God opened human spirits to the possibility of experiencing it consciously – providing they willingly open to the Word of guidance and salvation from God, the Word that is embodied in Jesus.
The second major Light event is the fulfillment of the promise to send another like Himself from the Father, who, like Him, will also bring the saving Word for the end times but, in addition, will bring the Judgment. This last Envoy from the Father will, Jesus tells us, come from the same origin in the Father as Himself, give us all the Truth, which He Christ could not give us at that time, and will also glorify Christ. He will take that which is Christ’s (i.e., Salvation out of Love) and give it to us, and He will also bring that which entirely belongs to the Creative Will and Justice of God (i.e., conviction or judgment for humanity and for the prince of this world). Thus, this last Light Envoy will come in a dual role, first as the Spirit of Truth with the Saving Word and then as the Son of Man with the Judging Word.
And in our time, this final promise of the Light has been fulfilled. Yet those among the spiritually viable, who belong to the foolish half of the ten virgins as Christ warned us, will not recognize Him because they lack intuitive alertness, the oil for their spiritual volition. For those who remain alert, whether we see Him and His work as the activity of the Son of God Jesus, first as savior and now, in a second coming, as Judge, is relevant, particularly in relation to our ability to live up to the demands of our time. What is most critical, however, is that we must recognize the fulfillment, which Christ, in repeated admonitions, warned us to remain alert for.
The last Envoy will come when we least expect Him like a thief in the night, and recognition of His time requires us to keep vigilant like good householders, with our intuition which, as lamps must remain trimmed, filled with the oil of a strong volition and burning brightly.
We need to be alert for and must listen to the Message of the Kingdom that Jesus advised will be given to the World for the end time. It is the last gift of grace and Love that He extends to those for whom He accepted to die on the cross, those who are truly His disciples. This excludes those who only call Him Lord, Lord, and those who wish to cover themselves and their selfish materialism in His precious blood, who seek and perform all sorts of questionable miracles in His name. In this context, it is remarkable that miracles in these end times were identified as one avenue through which the Beast from humanity, with the number 666, claims its victims.
The events of our time speak louder than voice, like multiple and successive trumpets, announcing the stages of human experiencing of the Purification Judgment. These are meant to awaken us to the demands of the Will of God now anchored in Creation. We must recognize and avoid those activities that the Lord Jesus warned will be distractions for people of this generation – false prophets, love of materialism, preoccupation with pleasures of the flesh, conceit, vanity, and self-centeredness.
The question comes back to us as individuals who must now determine their fate in eternity. What are you doing with what is perhaps the last chance you have to get it right?
