 awakening of those who profess to hear the Man and Message during increase of knowledge days, and when men run to and from, which are the marks for today.
Vs. 6, And one (of the 2 of vs. 5) said to the man in white linen," as in John's Epistles, Gospel and Revelation, when shall these wonders end? When the Holy people with the power of God are scattered on the earth, where they came from as in Rev. 14. Vs. 11 shows the 2 witnesses or the daily sacrifice taken away, and the Jews come into power in Palestine for 3 1/2 years as in last half of Rev. 13.
These things the wise will be able to grasp by the Spirit, but they won't be impatient, but watch to see them all fulfilled. You can see this will be our hope. Vs. 10 shows the many in the whole world who will understand as do the wise today, but the foolish Virgins and the wicked of all time will not understand; for their names are not in the Book of Life, and therefore can't have the Spirit's Seal. I hope this may be helpful to all who are wise; no help can be any value to people whose names are not in the Book.
Thanks for yours. It's surely better for every one to have the same letter, than a number and varied. It's good to read Dan. 12:2-3, and see there are only two possibilities,--Wise to shine as the Brightness of the Firmament for ever and ever, --or to awake to shame and everlasting contempt.
Zerubbabel laid the foundation and also will finish it. This is John,--the other witness is the Man clothed in filthy garments; the High priest Joshua being type of the stone cut out of the Mountain without hands, and Satan standing to accuse him as no other on the earth. So don't let men's shame blue your vision or hinder those who are the truly wise, for all their attempts to place themselves amongst the Wise only proves their folly.
You see in the trials in Moscow how they have been using influenza poison on men and animal's food and drink to destroy their enemies, as they call them. This trial going on brings it before the World and helps us to read Rev. 9:1-11. I mentioned the three accidents in my home town and 5 miles West and East, which was very special for me to read and understand; also the 5 years since Hitler and Roosevelt came into power with the Los Angeles County quake and its subsequent tremors up til now,--marked on 3rd March and recorded on 4th March papers here,--said to be worse than the quake 5 years ago in lives and cost, while the North of California coast and up records damage done by floods and wind, etc, equal to the Frisco quake in 1906.
These things all help to link the signs with the witness we have borne these many years. The Wall Street joke of raising a 5-million dollar fund to offer Roosevelt if he retires in 5 months;--all these 5's seem to draw our attention to our being in the last 5 months of the 24 years of Beginning of Sorrows, and helps to place the hour, day, month and year for Tribulation about 6th August. The Fast of Ab, the day Jerusalem was taken and destroyed on two occasions, and the date the last War came in 1914.
It's worth noticing Rev 1:7: "Behold He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him" (in His Judgments of past 24 years), "and they also which pierced him: and all (such) kindred of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen." This is the 7th verse in 1st chapter of Rev. In Revelation last chapter, 22nd and 10th verse from the end of Rev.: "behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be" at that day,--either for or against Him [Rev. 22:12].
So you can see the value and importance of trimming so our light will shine clear and no mistake, for he can't be fooled by any human unregenerate imitation, no matter how long it may have fooled us or others. Unjust, filthy, righteous or holy will all be measured by the same standard,--the light of life manifested in our works. "Hear and obey," of Rev 1:3 becomes works in Rev. 22:12. The 7th verse from beginning of Revelation and the 10th verse from end of Revelation are both numbers worth pondering.
Behold, the signs in the past 24 years, and now the Reward day for every man on Earth. Twenty-four years of warning and seven years of Execution and Rewards,--for or against, will settle the whole matter and he can't make a mistake.
Isaiah 55 is for the 24 years; Is. 56 is for the Wise in ver. 1-8, and ver. 9-12 for the whole foolish world in whose heart and mind He could not work, for their regeneration no matter what they said or did could only deceive themselves. Beasts of the field and forest come to devour; unregenerate watchmen are blind; all ignorant, all dumb dogs which cannot bark to warn of danger; greedy dogs which never can have enough; shepherds that cannot understand. All look to their OWN way, every one for his gain from his quarter.
Ver. 12, all want to have a good time in their various ways and sure there will be no judgment, but rather a bigger opportunity for their own thoughts and ways of many sorts and kinds; a wonderful contrast to ver. 1-8. You can see that the works of Cain and Abel will be manifested between the two seeds in the Man and Message People and spread to the whole earth later on with similar results; 2 in the field, 2 in bed; 2 at the mill; one taken for his Cain marks and works, and the other left to enjoy liberty and freedom and deliverance from the bondage which the Abel seed have been denied. So don't be surprised at the works which will be the proof for or against all that is of God. The same Abel nature and Seal of the Spirit will create love amongst those who are His good works, as we can be sure will be seen in Cain anger and hatred.
Thanks for yours and many others this week. I notice the Hansons have been down south on their own for they don't seem to need a Leader and Commander. Leon finished his letter by saying, "Love in Him till George Linn becomes John," which is the most honest confession of his faith, so we don't need to dwell on anything else that may or has happened.
George Linn and Percy seem to be anxious to complete their long planned journey and mission on a one way ticket, proving that their light and leading is not mine, but theirs; and so a return ticket would show wisdom on their part. Many seem to have lost sight of the great fact that what they are to me, they are to Him, and are to God. So they are all up against something worse than a stone wall.
Matt. 18:6-7 is more applicable to all who try to hide their self-will and self-thoughts and plans behind the 10 disciples and the two, or behind Mary and Joseph on the way to Bethlehem. It's BLAH, and worst form of iniquity and presumption no matter who tries it on to fool people and rob them of their only hope of Salvation. If to cease from their controversy, as they call it, and turn broken-heartedly from it with ears to hear and get Life, and bear living witness to others that they may have a chance - but their attempts are like suicide, and murderous to others. It's not the 12 disciples and Jesus of Gospel days, or the journey to Bethlehem, but the revealing of those I have awakened out of the DUST of the Earth, SOME to Everlasting Life and some to shame and Everlasting contempt. For there will be shame and contempt when people see how churlish they were in their foolish misuse of their privileges. I can honestly commend any such to read and fulfill Isa. 55 and they will find life, rest and peace, joy, and true service. It's not to be had any other way.
The separating of Sheep and Goats is very clear on 2 points. The Sheep were quite unconscious of their having borne the marks of the "Blessed of my Father" in what they had been to the one who is the Least of these My Brethren; while the Goats were just as sure they had done all these things. The honoring of the one who is Least of these His Brethren, was the Sheep mark; the dishonoring was the mark of Goats. Any honest person can easily know where they are. It's not a matter of sentiment, but fact. What the Sheep did was the expression of the regenerate nature God had given them, and shown in the value they put on the Servant. The Goats who had not got the Sheep nature, but only stood in relationship to the Sheep, did all they did as their duty. You notice how the world is full of people who put up the shutters (shut out the light) and do whatever feeds their pride and vanity in His name.
"Behold, I stand at the door - outside - and knock, in these last days. If any man, wakened by the knocking of the Ho-man servant, hear MY voice and open the door, I will come in to him and sup with him, and he with me." This
