“The Marriage of the Lamb Is Come”
We Come to Raise Up the Christ of Woman
Thanksgiving Day Address 1990
All Things Come to an End–to Do Good and to Do Evil
Work While Ye Have the Light!
I AM the Good Shepherd and I lay down my life for my sheep. My sheep know my voice. And ye are they who testify of me. Thus I bear witness unto the Truth <29>of Almighty God and ye are the witnesses of that Truth. And therefore ye receive my testimony and ye are also those who testify of me. <1>
Therefore, beloved, I tell you this day that all things come to an end, the opportunity for good and doing good and the opportunity for evil and doing evil. Therefore I say to you, work while you have the Light, for the night of personal and planetary karma cometh when no man shall work. <2>
I come, then, in the victory of the Holy City, and my beloved Magda stands with me. Will you not welcome her as my bride, for truly the marriage of the Lamb is come. [36-second standing ovation] My wife hath made herself ready. And it is given to her to wear fine linen, clean and white. <3> Therefore I would speak to you of the wholeness of our Love. May you be seated in this circle of our oneness.
We begin, then, at the beginning, as the final incarnation of Magda <4> did bring to her the opportunity to be my instrument, and indeed she was. And no one could stop her, for we were one in that ministry. And the healings [wrought through her] brought to this century my ministry in Galilee and the opportunity for the world to forgive woman of her sin and of the adultery of which Magda had been accused. <5>
Therefore two thousand years ago she was prepared as my disciple for this final opportunity to come when I could work through [her as] my beloved twin flame; and she as my presence physically in the earth could bind many hearts to the Lord. Our mission, then, in this century was to once again bring to the feet of their Holy Christ Self the souls of Light who would listen and hear. Thus, they remember her as the one who brought them to the Lord, to my heart, that I might bring them closer to the day of their souls’ fusion with the Christ presence.
Some received the reigniting of the threefold flame. Thousands received the healing of body. Yet this was no mere faith cure. For it was I in her and she in me, and we did stand for our final testament of the Piscean age.
Blessed ones, even from this film <6> that represents a slice of her life and surely not the whole perspective nor the whole truth, you can understand and see by her example that I could do through her only that which she was willing to do and only that which by free will she determined to do.
Calling her magazine Bridal Call, she waited for my call throughout that life. And she used all the means available, truly legitimate means, to draw souls to that altar that I might reach out and touch them through her. And I did promise her, beloved, that I would indeed heal through her. <7>
This, then, beloved, became our gift and her mission and the means whereby she could balance her karma. This mission was intended to go on and her sudden passing was surely not the fulfillment of the divine plan. Nevertheless, God does supply the increase. Therefore from the hour of her passing, when Aimee Semple McPherson had balanced 78 percent of her karma, to the present, when her hundredth birthday would have been celebrated, <8> she has served at inner levels and through the Messenger and through you until this celebration; and this anniversary, beloved, marks her balancing of 100 percent of her karma! [37-second standing ovation]
Therefore see and understand that she did bear her karma with her. And that law and that karma must take its course. And her free will must be exercised in following the leadings of that karma, even where the world would not approve. Take note, beloved, that two thousand years ago and today the same finger was pointed; [it was] the pointing of the finger at the adulteress.
Blessed ones, we have come in this hour, the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, to extend forgiveness to every part of life for every sin against the Father and the Son and even those sins committed against the Holy Spirit when they are forsaken. We have also come to prepare your hearts to receive the forgiveness of the sins against the Mother and the Child. Therefore pursue that law of forgiveness and that mercy flame and the violet flame, which was not then available to the congregations of Sister McPherson.
Thus, beloved, understand that this finale to our mission could not come until that hour of the conclusion [of her karma]. And all of you who have provided the chalice for her victory by continuing to challenge personal and planetary conditions by your dynamic decrees have played a part in this accomplishment that has been achieved by her and by us together at inner levels.
Blessed ones, the prophecies in chapter nineteen of Revelation could not come to pass until that prophecy be fulfilled of the marriage of the Lamb. <9> Immediately following the marriage of the Lamb there come all those who are the invited guests, who sit at table at the marriage supper of the Lamb.
Understand this, beloved, for we desire you to celebrate the marriage supper of the Lamb and his wife this New Year’s Day 1991, all of you together in this place, that you might know the blessing and the release of our Light of the Holy Spirit.
For that occasion, beloved, precedes the moment when I come forth as the Faithful and True with the armies of heaven, <10> when there is the war that is declared against the fallen ones, even as prior to this marriage there was the judgment of the Great Whore. <11> And that Great Whore is judged in the earth as the institutions of false religion East and West. And this is the Great Whore that has taken the Light of the people of all faiths and vested it in the fallen ones.
Therefore read on [in chapters 19, 20 and 21] and know that there is the victory over the beast and the fallen ones, and that victory does precede your merging with the Holy City. <12>
These events take place, beloved, in the depths and the recesses of being, as well as objectively on the planetary scene. As you have been instructed, the verses and chapters of Revelation are charted in a giant spiral on the Cosmic Clock so that they do not occur in a straight line but in cycles and spirals continuing. <13>
Thus you understand that the armies of the kings of the earth are gathered together. <14> And therefore, may your prayer be for the salvation of the Lightbearers as this karma and this judgment of the Lord God does outplay itself.
Had this church <30>understood the meaning of karma and reincarnation, had this church understood the violet flame, which was brought forth even during Aimee’s lifetime, <15> they would have had the great spherical vision of the individual passing through his final incarnation who must meet every person and circumstance with which he has had karma in order to balance that karma.
And therefore, karma will take you where it takes you. And it compels you to render that service which must be rendered whether or not the eyes of the world approve. There are many things that must be accomplished by the individual who has determined to balance 100 percent of his karma.
You see in the case of Aimee as in the case of this Messenger that opportunity was given to her to contact millions of souls. This is a means for the balancing of karma, not only on the part of the individual leader but on the part of all those who make up that congregation, beloved, the congregation of the righteous.
Understand that as you are a part of the garment of the Lord, as you tug upon the vestments of the Mother, as there is no separation of your heart from the heart of the Messenger, of your heart from the heart of my beloved and myself, so you share in the blessings, in the bounty, in the beauty of that service. Truly it is that we say together, “Glory, Hallelujah! For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. And the marriage of the Lamb is come.”
I have called you to that marriage. I have called your souls to be my brides. I have called you to be the bride of your Holy Christ Self. <16> Understand that it is also prerequisite to your victory and your triumphing over the forces of Evil in the earth. Understand this, beloved, and know the truth. Seek, then, bonding to your Christ Self through my heart. And I extend my heart to you through the Messenger, to those [of you] who cannot reach me without that intercessor.
Therefore know that there is no reason on earth in this hour for you not to accomplish the goal of that fusion with your Christ Self in this life. For I have sent my Messenger before me; and in this age I have sent woman that woman might be redeemed and that the world in its judgment of woman might also know that inasmuch as they have not acclaimed the Christ in woman, so the Christ shall not appear in themselves.
When I came two thousand years ago, the law went forth that he that denieth me, him would I deny before my Father, <17> before the I AM Presence. Those who cannot see the Christ in me cannot see or receive the Christ in themselves.
But it is the age of the Holy Spirit and the age of the Woman. Therefore, I also did come in the lowly estate of the flesh. And as you have been told time and again, the soul is not perfected in the flesh: the soul is perfected in the Spirit and in the Heart and in the Mind of God. Therefore those Jews who rejected me, beloved, rejected me because they perceived the human imperfections and therefore denied the Christ that shone through and beyond those imperfections.
Now you see, beloved, how woman has been maligned and persecuted and how, through mistreatment through the ages by the fallen ones and being put down, she has accepted herself as unworthy, she has accepted the condemnation of the world; and to fulfill her own self-assessment [she] has degraded herself in all manner of activities from pornography to abortion itself, to the allowing of the abuse of the child.
Therefore I come and we come together as one to see to it that the Christ of woman is raised up, which is to say, the Christ of the soul, the feminine counterpart of [the Spirit of the I AM in] male and female. It is the hour, then, when woman must be honored as being the temple of the living Christ, when your souls must be elevated and no longer subjugated to the condemnations of centuries.
This is the meaning of our Thanksgiving gift to you. For the hour of the judgment of the anti-Woman force in the earth is come. Truly that judgment is come, beloved. Look for it and wait for it and live unto the day when not only Woman but also her seed and her Divine Manchild shall be acknowledged. For the captains and the kings and the mighty men <18> shall be no more, these Nephilim gods who have journeyed to this planet to see that that feminine potential of the soul would be cast down.
Therefore take note, beloved, of those events in the scriptures that follow [the marriage of the Lamb]; for Armageddon must be fought and won and you are the physical anchor point for legions upon legions upon legions of Light. Those who have already joined you from the Great Central Sun and from out the great cosmic heights, are they not also a part of the armies of Karttikeya, Sanat Kumara? Indeed they are.
And these legions of Light shall intensify according to your call, now that the seed of the Wicked One has seen to it that all who are the best of the sons of men in the earth have been shipped off to the Middle East, leaving the West and this nation not under the guardian spirit that it should be under, leaving that point of vulnerability, squandering the Light and the money and the supply of the people when the greatest defense ought to be mounted, as has been preached by me through this Messenger for so long. <19>
Evil men in high places, in the top places of this nation, have at inner levels cooperated with the fallen ones and with the Nephilim of the Twelfth Planet to bring about this situation. It is not the will of God, but it is the will of man in defiance of God. Therefore I say, let the judgment be upon those who would so easily spill the blood of my sons and daughters for their own self-gain and pride! They shall not prevail!
May you see through all that is being broadcast to you as the most amazing propaganda of all time, as you watch the so-called evening news. It is the nightly propaganda put forth to convince you that the Soviets and the United States are united. In one sense of the word, this is true. For at inner levels the fallen ones on all sides move together to destroy the Lightbearer.
There is no greater advocate of the leadership of the Soviet Union this day than the leadership of this nation. And therefore, know that when you see the conscious presence of any person, you are seeing but the surface. You are not seeing what goes on at hidden levels of being.
You do not see the programming from the Twelfth Planet of these individuals who pose as benign leaders. You do not see the inner pacts that they have made and their long-term agenda to rid the earth of the Lightbearer. You do not see how they have directed even the forces that assail you, those individuals in positions of power and even the spiritual wickedness in high places. <20> All the way to Rome, to Moscow and Washington, whether in Church or State, you see the condemnation in inner circles of this Messenger and this Path and this Teaching.
Make no mistake, beloved, you are able in God! And the hosts of the Lord are gathering and they shall continue to gather. For this battle shall be fought and won as God intends if you yourselves make yourselves the instrument of that Light perpetually until these old serpents of ages-old millennia no longer endure.
The hosts of the Lord can make light work of this battle if you will surely engage, if you will surely know that even a fiat of two minutes as you move from one place to another will be used by them and multiplied a million times. I have received grants of [Light for the] greater multiplication of your work. Do not think that the single fiat will not compel armies of Light to move in to first gather and bind the astral hordes and then eliminate them as an x factor as to whether or not the Light shall prevail. <21> We desire to remove from the very bowels of hell and of the astral plane all that the Law will allow us to remove. We require but the Call.
You, then, are surely chosen to be at the marriage supper. You are surely chosen to ride with us in the physical octave and to wear in the etheric your white garments and to know the meaning of the sword that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Faithful and True, even as it proceeds out of the mouth of the Two Witnesses. <22>
So call upon our Electronic Presence! Call upon us that that sword of the sacred Word shall divide the Real from the Unreal as it goes forth out of your mouth according to your dynamic decree! And therefore, rid your mouths of gossip, calumny and condemnation, of words of anger or dislike. For then there do come out of your mouths not that two-edged sword <23> but frogs that leap, <24> costing you time and karma. And remember, as I have said, all things come to an end–the opportunity to do good and the opportunity to do evil.
Therefore, according to her flame and her way and our ray, Aimee did devise ways and means to compel them to come in, <25> to come in to the temple and to receive the Holy Spirit. May you take that ingenuity which is peculiar to yourself, and may you work as a team with the Messenger and the ministers and the elders and those who are the stumpers from this Church. May you recognize that you require planning and strength and that you must go forth in a concerted action.
Whatever the traffic will bear, whatever is honorable before God and man, let it be so, that you will find ways and means [to bring this teaching to the children of God on earth]–beginning with prayer, beginning with the absolute determination that the Holy Spirit will be in you and that every foul and unclean spirit will be out of you!
I decree it! You must will it! You must desire it! You must know that there is no reason to wait forever for the coming of the Lord into your temple!
And my beloved will speak to you on the very first day of this conference that comes at New Year’s and you will hear her message, as she has come to that moment of her ultimate victory.
Blessed ones, know, then, that I could wish for a greater determination and a greater surrendering of those things that ought never to have been in your beings. The time is short for you to have the opportunity to receive while you are yet in embodiment the Holy Spirit, the cloven tongues of fire from our twin flames! And the time is short for you to vanquish Evil.
Do not dare any longer to live with the notion that you have been struggling with this or that shortcoming for years and decades of this life! Blessed ones, such a consideration, such an attitude is surely a shame and a disgrace to my own presence in your midst and an actual denial that I am the living Christ and that I am your Saviour and that I have come to collect you as I would collect petals to form the mighty rose of Mother Mary’s heart.
Therefore, beloved, God is able. God is able to cast out of you any thing that you determine to be rid of. But you must walk and work this path! You must do it! I did not do those things for Aimee. I worked through her. When she was burdened, when she was alone, when she made her decisions right or wrong, she was functioning independently, for she must also gain her God-mastery under the Piscean dispensation.
Therefore, cease to look upon those whom we raise up as somehow being special or favorite sons. I should think that at least in this Community and in this Church you should long ago have abandoned that notion. There are no favorite sons. The living Son of God, the Christ, is the All-in-all in every one of you; and that Christ is waiting to receive you into his arms.
And yet as Saint John of the Cross did deliver the Word, there must be the preparation for that entering in to that oneness. And that preparation is sometimes the very lonely road of karma, the painful aloneness that you experience inside, sometimes when you are with those even closest to you who have no perception whatsoever of the inner agony or ecstasy, the depths and heights that you can reach on your quest for God.
Therefore, beloved, take seriously your path. And take that path with joy. But remember, every day is the last day for someone and the bell does toll for someone. Therefore every day determine that you shall be glued to God, that you shall be in the center of God and that the God in you that descends that day shall be for the casting out of some element of anti-God that must go on that specific day according to cosmic timetables.
Who can recapture the events of a lifetime? Who can recapture the mistakes of yesterday? No one can. But the violet flame can transmute them. And you can have that energy and momentum to invest it on this day and on the morrow in that new creature in Christ, <26> which you decree you shall be.
Therefore understand that everyone who has ascended from this planet and from situations similar to yours has known the problems that you have known. We were not special or chosen except that long ago we chose to be that Christ. And from the moment we had our victory, we have never ceased to give that Christ to all whom we would meet.
Therefore, beloved, take care that you do not deny your opportunity simply because you think you are too ordinary, too sinful, have too much karma or that it will take eternity to accomplish [the goal]. It is the lie of procrastination. It is the lie of procrastination, I tell you, beloved! And these are abominable sins for which I have no patience.
And this is the compassion of my heart, the full fire of my being. And if I speak to you through the Messenger in sternness, know that you must be stripped of these layers [of the human consciousness] if you are to make it and that the timetables are moving on and you are lingering in the cups of the past. Do not be fooled by your own self-pity. Do not be fooled by anything of the human consciousness.
Work while you have the Light, and understand that it was the freewill application of her flame and mine that enabled Aimee to succeed. There was no guaranteed success in that life except her own will and her own vision.
Stop waiting for someone to do it for you, for someone to come along with magic! And remember it takes more than positive thinking to achieve the goal: it takes a willingness to be a realist about your station in life and about your needs and about your education or lack of it. It takes a determination to go forth from this place if need be and from this valley to multiply your funds by an honest day’s work in an area where you can command that salary [that you need to sustain yourself and pay your debts].
I do not have patience with those who are able-bodied and yet claim themselves as the poor. Surely you must be poor [in spirit] and without the Spirit of the Christ when you do not see that you will [only] have [and keep] what you work for. [Surely you must be poor in spirit] when you expect what you need to find its way to you simply because you are creating treasure maps and using positive affirmations. It takes more than this, beloved! It takes a spirit of realism as to what is happening today in the economy. And, after all, the key alchemy to your victory is the violet flame and the decrees themselves.
Therefore learn to create the positive matrix and understand that it is but the first step. Karma has a lot to do with the situation, as well as the resolution of your psychology. And I say to you, be up and doing! If you are not making it where you are, then make it somewhere else! For you have, after all, the whole blessed earth in this [window of] time to find the place where you can accomplish what God has assigned you to do.
You can balance your karma!
But I ask you to look at the lives of the saints who have made it and not at those of the world who will pass through the judgment, who seem to have a life of ease and pleasure. Every saint who has ever made it, every saint in his final embodiment has felt that surge of that fire of that Holy Spirit burning within him, and he has toiled through the day and toiled through the night and won that victory.
If you are not willing to pay that price, if you are not willing to enter into that fire spiral of that God-victory, then I say, pray for that desire, pray for that willingness. Pray for those things to be taken from you that stop you short of the daily victories that you know you can have.
This is a do-it-yourself course. And when you do it yourself, I will multiply your works by my grace. I cannot multiply anything if you do not put forth works and the effort and show that you are willing to live a hard life as well as an easy life. For you have had both in many incarnations and this surely is the time to prove what you are made of.
Do you not think, if there were favoritism [between a Master and his disciple] and if the Law would have allowed it, that I would have raised up Magda two thousand years ago and simply dissolved her karma and not required her, as God required it, to return for two thousand years? There is a mythology surrounding my person and that mythology must not creep into your theological awareness. You must understand that we all come under the Law.
Not only would I not desire this but I also would not allow it. For, beloved, it is experience in life that is for the ripening of the soul. Do not take from a child his victory or he will resent you for the rest of his life. God and the saints–even I myself–do not take from anyone the victory, do not bestow the prize until the prize is duly won and until the true effort is made.
I am releasing a flame in this hour. It is the flame that you most need. It is the flame of realism. Realism is the absolute requirement of the hour, not fuzzy thinking, not illusory thinking, not false optimism but the realism of what is taking place on this planet and what are the signs of the times.
I, Jesus, write in the sand, as I was wont to do on many occasions, even as I wrote down the karma and the sins of those who accused Magda. <31>I have written in the sands of the desert and I have written in the sands of the Himalayas. I have written in the earth the signs in the heavens, and I know these signs. And the exact science of astrology and its use by you is taught by me at inner levels.
Those who will reject my teaching and this science may also reject me. They fear the coming of the Lord’s judgment; therefore they seek to deny the prophecy of that judgment. Do not count yourself among them, for they go the way of all flesh and the way of the captains and the kings and the mighty men.
Therefore know that the calculations are true and the prophecies are true. And therefore they have been set forth through the Messenger. And you must look at them and give your violet flame [decrees] for yourselves.
As I said to the daughters of Jerusalem, [so I say to you]: Weep not for me but weep for yourselves and for your children. <27> For it is you that will bear the brunt of the karma of an age. In modern terms I say to you, give the violet flame for yourselves, for your Community and for your Church. For the violet flame is the key whereby you shall balance personal karma, and that balancing of karma will make the difference as to where you will be found in the Lord’s day. <28>
Know the meaning of the Lord’s day. Know the meaning of oneness. At that point of Light, which may or may not be retained by you in this hour, that single point of Light of which you have a counterpart in the point of Light of your twin flame, I draw a circle to strengthen the inner tie. May you know that any separation between yourself and your twin flame is strictly a matter of your freewill choice, choices made, a karma made, a karma you carry.
Therefore let the boulder of pride and rebellion that separated twin flames in the beginning be removed by the violet flame and never, never, never again underestimate the value of violet flame decrees at every moment, at every opportunity you get. Let the violet flame mantras sing in your heart! [The violet flame] has been the missing ingredient for many a saint who passed into the higher octaves and could not make the ascension or else required decades [of work at inner levels] to do so.
As I have said, the opportunity to do good will one day come to a close. No man knoweth the hour or the day. The opportunity to do evil will also come to a close. And no man knoweth the hour or the day. I, Jesus, impress upon you with the branding iron of the Lord: Work while ye have the Light!
In this hour I release my flame for the mystery of thanksgiving. Gratitude for the good multiplies the good. May you spend your day in counting your blessings and giving glory to God. Thus shall you find the increase.
I am the magnet of the Sacred Heart. I am the magnet of the heart of roses of Magda. We are one.
