Revelation.
21:1 the meaning of "a new heaven and a new earth: for the
first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no
more sea"
When the foundations of the earth are broken up by
those very disturbances. Can the mind of man comprehend no
desire to sin, no purpose but that the glory of the Son may be
manifested in his life? Is this not a new heaven, a new earth?
For the former things would have passed away. For as the desires,
the purposes, the aims are to bring about the whole change
physically, so does it create in the experience of each soul a new
vision, a new comprehension. For as has been given, it hath not
entered the heart of man to know the glories that have been
prepared, that are a part of the experiences of those that love Only the Lord and His ways.
Revelation 21:2-4 the new Jerusalem and no more death
Those then that are come into the new life, the new
understanding, the new regeneration, there Is then the new
Jerusalem. For as has been given, the place is not as a place
alone but as a condition, as an experience of the soul. Jerusalem
has figuratively, symbolically, meant the holy place, the holy city, for there the ark of the covenant, the ark of the covenant in the
minds, the hearts, the understandings, the comprehensions of those
who have put away earthly desires and become as the New purposes in
their experience, become
the new Jerusalem, the new undertakings, the new desires.
Holy Jerusalem in Revelation 21:12
Is, that purpose, that estate
to which there is the attaining of those who through the purifying
now come to the holy purpose,
as the Holy Jerusalem; the Holy of Holies becomes the dwelling as it
were of those.
What is meant by the 12 gates
The 12 manners, the 12 ways, the 12 openings, the 12
experiences of the physical to all, and those that have all been
purified in purpose for the activities with same.
The significance of the 12 angels
The 12 purposes as represented by the activities of the openings
to the bodily forces for their activities in the experiences of
expression in the phases of the activities of the individual.
The 12 names which represent the 12
tribes of the children of Israel
The same as the 12 gates, the 12 angels, the 12 ways, the 12
understandings; or the approach to Israel the seeker, all seeking
not then as the expression of self but as One in the Holy One!
The golden reed to measure the city,
the significance of the stones of the new Jerusalem and their
colours in Revelation 21:15
The new understanding, the reed to measure the city, the abilities
of each. Not unto all is it given to be ministers, not unto all to
be interpreters, not unto all to be this or that; but measured
according to that whereunto they have purposed in their hearts.
Though all are as one, remember it has been given that the purpose
of the heart is to know Yourself to Be yourself and yet one with God
even as Jesus, even as is represented in God the Father, Christ the
Son, and the Holy Spirit; each knowing themselves to be themselves
yet One!
So the measurements for those that make the vibrations within
themselves that become attuned to the new purpose, the new desire,
the new hopes, the new Revelation, the new understandings to do the
will of the Father with the will of that made perfect in the Christ.
And he showed me a pure river of
water of life, clear as crystal proceeding out of the throne of God
and of the Lamb in Revelation 22:1
As the river, the water, the life represents the active flow of the
purpose of the souls of men made pure in same. Then they flow with
that purpose from the throne of God Itself, made pure in the blood
of the Lamb, which is in Jesus, the Christ, to those who seek to
know His ways.
The tree of life with its twelve
kinds of fruit that yielded her fruit every month and the leaves of
the tree for the healing of the nations in Revelation 22-2
That as the tree planted by the water of life; that is, as the
sturdiness of the purpose of the individual in its sureness in the
Christ; and the leaves represent the activities that are as for the
healing of all that the individual activities may contact, even in
material life. And that it is Continuous, as by the month, as for
purpose, as for the activities.
Seal not the sayings of the prophecy,
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still, he which is filthy be
filthy still in Revelation 22:10-11
As that period approaches when
there shall be those influences of the power of those incarnated in
the activities of the earth, then the purposes become set as in that
indicated by the activities of each being in that to which they have
then given themselves.
Hold Fast
"Not in this mountain, nor in this city; rather in the hearts of
men, should the God of Israel be worshipped." For He has given,
there is not required silver nor gold nor only sacrifices; but there
comes the call that ye be just and patient and longsuffering with
thy fellow man. For These bespeak the words of Jehovah rather than
those that require this or that rule.
Hold Fast to that thou didst gain before the altar in the temple;
that God loveth mercy and justice rather than ritual or might; that
being patient, being kind, being gentle is more precious in the
sight of Jehovah than the offering of many
sacrifices or the giving of bounty, or the requiring of this or that
of the law itself. For who is the law? He that loveth mercy and
justice, or he that ruleth in the thunder or in the might? God is a
God of Love!
Correlate not the differences, but where all religions meet. There
Is One God! "Know, O Israel, the Lord thy God is One!"
First set thine own house in order
Call on that thou hast set so oft in thine inmost heart through thy
activity among thy brethren. For when ye call on the Lord, He Will
hear; for He has promised to meet thee in thine own temple, in His
temple, in His holy of holies!
Hast Thou kept same clean? Wilt thou not set the shewbread in order
before thy face? Wilt thou not light the candles before the holy of
holies? Wilt thou not look again into that holy ark as thou didst
lastly in the temple when ye renounced the Rites for mercy?
"Know, O Israel, the Lord thy God is One!" Not Israel as Jacob, but
Israel as the followers of the God that is One!
The Spiritual Work of a Rabbi
Remain in spiritual work; not as a Rabbi, rather as, yes, as a
rabbi in its Truest sense; that is: a teacher, a minister. Not as
bound by creeds! Not as bound by modes! Not as bound by any law!
For what hath the Lord said? What hast thou said to thy Lord, and
the Lord said to thee in thine experience?
That to do justice, to show mercy, to be patient, is more of a
service than the offering of many sacrifices or the keeping of many
days; for these are but outward shows, while the purpose in thine
Heart to do good is there before it may be accomplished, in the
little kindnesses, the little gentlenesses that may be shown to thy
fellow man.
For as He has said, it is not in might nor in power that He is made
manifest, but in just being kind to thy fellow man. This showeth
forth the Lord's work till He come again.
Be Still and see the glory of thy God!
Hast thou not experienced that ye
went through turmoils when ye passed with thy fathers through those
tempestuous spots as ye returned to the house of the living God? Ye
are returning now, within. Not to a house built with hands; not to a
house made by the mind of man; but to that which bringeth peace and
harmony and understandings.
