The Old Testament is a prophetic blueprint of the story of Jesus. A proper vision is foreshortening, and they see as present what really is the future. So we open the book of the Old Testament and tell you looking at a proper faith. It's not history, not spectacular history, it's the prophecy. The man is not aware of it. There's a rabbinical principle. Which state that what is not written in Scripture is non-existent? The story of Jesus follows this principle. But as the poet said, it's embodied in a tale that they enter in at lowly dawn. For you and I, here the story is like a little tale.
Now listen to these words. They are from the end of Luke 24 chapter, the last chapter of Luke. He just explained Scripture. Beginning with the Lord of Moses and all the prophets and the Psalms, he interpreted it as then in all the scriptures, the things concerning himself. And then they say to each other, did not our hearts burn with it, while he opened to us the Scripture. And their eyes were opened and they recognized Him and He vanished out of their sight. Now you would think a man appeared to those walking along the highway. And they didn't recognize him at first and they needed plain description.
And their hearts began to burn within them as he opened to them the Scripture. And then their eyes were opened, they recognized Him and He vanished out of the sun. This one is called the truth, that I am the truth. I am the way, I am the light. If I succeed in opening up the Scriptures to you, then whatever you hold now, as an image called Jesus Christ will vanish out of sun. The only enemy of Israel is a poor God, where he is no other enemy for any man in this world, a poor God. If I could now test Scripture and so interpret it, I could show you who God really is,
for then anything you hold out in your mind's eye concerning an external God would vanish out of sight. Can I take the Scripture? I'm jealous, I think I can. But it's one of those difficult things in the world to change a fixed idea. It comes back time and time again. So you're going to repeat the story from different angles until the time you get through and the man discovers who he is. It is in us as persons that God the Father revealed Himself. He comes to us as one unknown, yet one who in the most inethical mystery lets man experience who he is. When we experience who he is, all for God's damage.
For in that experience we discover we are the Lord. And there is a definite way for the disciples, a definite plan, the whole thing was planned before that the world won. But we are children in this world of darkness, we came out from the world of light and purposely came into this world of darkness. Antiphanam ourselves, the form of this thing called man, the restriction, the confection that is man. And one day in the fullness of time it unfolds, the mystery unfolds in a man. And that man in whom it unfolds, tells it to as many as the listenings. Some will agree and some will disagree. Those that agree and really see it clearly, their eyes are open,
their recognize not the man talking to them, their recognize the truth or the eye and the truth. So they recognize the truth of Scripture. And they are an external being that they turn to and worship, vanishes out of their sight. There is no more external God in their world. They are finding within themselves that the story. Everything said in Scripture, concerning Jesus, is taken from the Old Deathness. And most of it you will find in the world of darkness. Now let us take a look. In the Ten Chapter of the Episcopal to the Hebrew, you will find verse after verse taken from the Portia Psalm,
which is credited to David, a Psalm of David. In the volume of the book, it is all about me. For David is saying, I do like to do the eye of will, oh my God. The same words are used in the Ten Chapter of the Episcopal to the Hebrew, concerning Jesus. I have come to do the will of him who is sentient. That is my food. Just to do the will and to accomplish the work he gave me to do. These are the words of David. In the volume of the book, it is written of David. That is the unknown author speaking of David. Yet in the Portia Psalm, these are the words of David. These are prophetic. It is fulfilled in a man. Who is the man?
Nor he give a name, he call it Jesus. He says he was a carpenter. You think of a carpenter as one with a hammer and a saw and a chisel and things of that nature. Working in wood, that is not the definition of a carpenter in the Bible. The word carpenter in the Bible means to produce from seed as a mother, as a plant, like the earth, that is the word carpenter. To bring forth, to be born, to be in travail, to be delivered. The time has come for this thing to be born. That seed, that was the seed of God, and now it unfolds within a man. That man in whom it unfolds tells what happened to him. He relates his own experience.
But he is up against a wall. For man being a child, he was told the story that he may enter in at lowly doors. For truth embodied in a tale, shall enter in at lowly doors. So they heard it as I heard it, as you heard it. As my mother taught me, and then I went to school, and they confer what mother had said, that I grew into manhood still believing the story that I heard is a child. Until one day, in the full of time, the story erupted in me. And then I knew who Jesus is. Then only thing that I really know who God is. But I am telling you, he would erupt in you. And then the God you now is still hold on. That is external to yourself, will vanish out of sight. You could no longer turn to an external God, and pray to an external God,
when that which is in you unfolds like a flower. And it's you. Now let us take these passages from the book of Samuel, and you know it carefully as I quote the passage. I am quoting the last four verses of the Thamneian chapter of Samuel. Prior to that, to make it clear for you, is a battle about to take place. And the battle is now the battle between the giant thirustine, Goliath, a man of war from the cradle, a guy. He is faced by a youth who has no element, or he cannot wear the element that King Saul gives them. He takes it off, and it will go in the name of the Lord of Israel.
I would have thought of a thing to do with the element of man, I would go in the name of the Lord of Israel. And this day, he will deliver the thirustine into my hand. He takes five stones, for that top five stone, it means great, it's a gift. Five is the number of great in Scripture. That's the only element that he takes. Well, I think you're familiar with the story. He brings down the giant, it's the first blow, either the following. Having no sword, he takes the sword of the giant, and severs his head. And then he comes back with the severed head of the giant. The King turns to his lieutenant Abna. He said, Abna, whose son is that youth? Abna answers as, like, so live our Lord, I cannot hear.
He's getting choir, whose son is the stripteep. And then comes David with the head of the giant, holding it in his hand. And Abna brings him before Saul, and he sent him before Saul. And Saul turns to David, and he says, Who's son or you, young man? David answers, I am the son of the servant Jesse, the best young man. You will know, in all of these passages, that Saul is inquiring, not about David, but about David's father, who's son or you, young man. In choir, whose son, the youth is. In choir, whose son is stripping him. Now the word youth, young man, stripping lead, are all from the same word in Hebrew.
Alam. That's the word, but it also means, you can see him, you hide from you, you veil of a secret. The word you write, if the youth is the lad, it is a young man. But if something veiled, something concealed, it's a secret, that is it. Something out of sight, if placed in a man, that is a fullness of time, it is that, that is, it in a man, that will reveal man to himself as God. For no one knows the father, but the son. And no one knows who the son is, but the father. So without the son, you will never know that you are the father, or that you start reading Scripture. So he takes the book, and he begins with a lot of notice,
and he comes to the prophets, then he comes into the song, and he interprets to them, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning himself. And he shows them exactly what was said in Scripture. So this is the great rabbinical principle, that what is not written in Scripture is non-existent. He is not interested in what Jesus' world does. He makes no attempt to change the pattern. If there were slaves in the day in Scripture, then it works when it happens in him, he is just as it is. He is not concerned with changing government, and changing things. As you find him, he leaves them, but he tells the eternal story. For the Old Testament, which is that prophetic blueprint of the story, as told in the New Testament, is simply a shadowy, intimation, or I would say, intimation for the many shadowy intimations,
of this eternal reality. There is something that is timely, that is taking place forever and forever and forever. It didn't take place once and forever, 2000 years ago. It is taking place in the unexpected breasts of man or woman. And when it happens, he is forward. He is done in those back in the churches of Scripture, and he finds it, it's there. It was always there, but he didn't see it. It was always in Scripture, but man saw it differently, because he was told it as a story, that it may end it in at the lowly door, because of his consciousness, a way down on this level. As the poet said, all with fortowning, not could find or see. But I learned how the women would die after these things should be.
As the whole with fortowning, what if the Bible is, as it claimed, thousands of years old, and I read it after the event, and having experienced the wind, the unearthly wind, that accompanied the series of events, that I go back and I put it for in Scripture, but I didn't see it. I have had one severe beating in my life, and it was in Scripture. The involve artist where I was born and raised, we are allowed to be beaten by the schoolmaster. And in his eye, I miss quoting Scripture, but I did not. I said, take up, die, fade, and walk, which is quoted in the Gospel when he stayed to the cripple. Take up, die, bed, and walk. And he who was cripple from his mother's womb took the bread up and walked. And he said to me, bring your Bible. Well, I could not produce the Bible. I am one of ten children. You don't have ten Bible.
And I simply said that I didn't have the Bible with me this day. My other brother, Cecil, he had it. He had another class in another school. And he said, I don't care if your brother goes under gap with a dance cap on his head. You are leaving here with a dance cap on your head. Well, he was allowed to beat students because his translation said, take up, die, couch, and walk. And I said, take up, die, fade, and walk. All depends on what Bible you have. It means the same thing. Take up the liver on which you were placed when someone brought you here. Take it up. And then you don't need it anymore. Get off of that. You don't cripple anymore. Well, you eventually got a cane that long and knocked on the bed for me to get over. I have a sitting knee on the bench and bent it this way to see that it wasn't injured because we know what was in store for.
When he was out of sight, we would go in with our little penise and school-eated of the knee. And simply got them all so that the first blow would splatter the holding all over the place. So he would bend it right over so it would knee. And as it met, he knew he had a good one. And he beat me unversively. I was breathing from my butt up to my knees. When my father saw that night, my father picked up the saying, Daddy come and see what never looked like. Daddy came in. So he said, how did this happen? So I told him, he took the next door neighbor, my mother and all my father to restrain my father from going up and had he gone up to get a kill them. He really would have killed them. That was the temper of my father. But they restrained him. Next day, I was taking out of that school. He never had to go back. And a year later, the man was a sadder. A complete sadder. He blew his brains out. He just simply couldn't live with himself.
He beats the boys unmetably. For that was my one beating in this world. And that was for seemingly miscoking scripture. So I read my book from the beginning to end, over and over and over. But I didn't see it. Until it happened in me. When the whole thing erupted in me, then I went back and I could see the whole pattern was there, all along just as the poet said. All was for telling me, not could I foresee. But I learned how the wind would sound after these things should be, on the other world. Everything was there. David, and his father was set free for the promise was made, the man who destroys the enemy of Israel. I will set his father's house free in Israel. And the father's name was Jesse.
And Jesse simply means to hover exists that the lipid translation is the word Jesse. Any form of the verb to be, a herb or an, God's eternal name. So he discovered you yourself out of power, out of the youth who destroyed the enemy of Israel. And the only enemy of Israel is a false God. As long as you worship a false God, you have an enemy. And that enemy must be brought low and it takes David to bring him low. So in the New Testament, his name is called Jesus Christ and he brings the true God. And he said, I am the true. What true? He reinterpreted Scripture in the light of his own experience. He experienced Scripture and it used to be a dead cold and became a living, living book. And he was the book. He was the word. So as he explained it,
there is a did not have a heart burned within it. When he opened to us the Scripture, and their eyes were open and they recognized Him. And then he vanished. Out of their sight. Recognize what a man knows. They recognized the truth. Of what one was talking about. The one who had experienced the truth. So they recognized the truth for you today. And the truth. They recognized the truth of a man. And therefore a man vanished out of their sight. No longer looking you worship a man. This thing, speaking to you now, had experienced it. But don't turn to me. For any worship, you'll be the most horrible thing in the world. But take the truth that I'm telling you. I have experienced Scripture. And they will come, you will experience Scripture. And you and I will be one. In eternity. Just one.
One body, one spirit, one God, one father of all. And we are that one. So here he comes to me as he did today. As one unknown, I hadn't the slightest idea of the problem until it happened. I never read it with understanding. I never heard it. No one ever spoke one word about the promise to me. I read it in the Bible, but I didn't recognize it. I did not see it there. Only after it happened. Well then I have been commissioned. Go and tell them. When I was told 30 years before the event that I must go into the world, standing in the presence of the ancient of days, embraced by him who was in put a cloud and then sent. I didn't know what I was saying for. I didn't the slightest idea. What was the first time I go to do? Uneducated.
No background, social background, intellectual background, but nothing. And one on earth would I talk about? Or what would I say to anyone? If I owed my mother say, well, what has he decided? Then I went back and descriptive the study. It was also said how this one, who is the character description. How does this man have such learning seen that he has never studied? And that he makes the confession. My teaching is not mine, but is who sent it. You go. I will put words in your mouth. Go. I will give you everything that you need to tell the servant and so he did. I didn't go back to school to learn anymore. It has simply happened within me. My interest was around in things beautiful, like poetry. And above all things,
the Bible. And I read it daily by the hour. Every day it seems pressure and pressure and pressure. It is a constant eruption of the great revelations. There is no limit to it. The things that I do, you will do. And even greater than this, because I am going to my father. I came out from the father. I came into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and I am going to the father. I am going to tell you what you will do. All that I have done, and even greater. While you still remain here, the Holy Spirit will pour himself all from within me in one revelation after the other. And it is all there in Scripture. But you will find it after the event. So the poet said, I learned how the wind would sound after these things should be. The words are perfect.
It is the wind. And the word wind and spirit are one of the same both in Hebrew and English. And so, we are told you must be born of the Spirit. Born of the wind. Same thing. So, when one is born from above, he is born of the Spirit. He is born of the wind. It comes in the form of an earthly wind. And that is the story. So here, you and I have been told the story. And it is a glorious story until man can access except the truth of that story. That he can continue in the belief of an external God to whom he turns. But it is his enemy. And that enemy one day must be destroyed when truth rises within him. And there is no external one to whom he can turn. To whom will I turn? Thou hast the words of eternal life.
So when they said, these are hard things to say. There is the fixed chapter of the book of John. And he tells him the strangest things possible. And in the end, many left him, never to walk with him again. And then he turned to the few who remain. And then he said, which thou go also? And Peter became the spoken for the 12 who remain. And he said, to whom would we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. So where would I go if what you have said is true then where would I turn? I am telling you what I have told you is true for its base not on speculation. I am not speculating by in the set-up time workable philosophy of life. I have no interest in telling a philosophy. No interest in coming a church. That's the one thing that the boys said to me when I was sent down with the blue blood,
down with all church protocol, all external rituals and ceremonies, down with it. Don't go and destroy it, leave it as it is on the outside. But don't you set up one? Therefore I resisted every attempt at ordination. I have been offered it time and time again. To join this church and that church or the other church, I am within 24 hours and it will give me my degree that I will do all the things that any priest could do. I said, no, I want no part of it. I will go alone and he who sent me is with me and what is necessary he will provide. I am one with the one who sent me. He is in theory to myself the sender. But I am not in theory to my essential being the sender only in the present office as the sender. And to him the sender I will return when I take off this garment.
So it will mean while while I am still wearing it until the end I share with you what I have experienced and that is scripture. The whole thing unfolds within us. Therefore in the New Testament because the words are now put into the mouth of Jesus. Where you read the chapter you wonder why on earth did he bring this up? They have brought up a certain argument concerning marriage. And the sadgers say to him master, which they did not believe he was a master or anything great because they represented what we call today the agnostics or the atheists. They were the scientific minds, the intellectual minds. So we speak of the sadgersies and the therathy. But the sadgersie was the intellectual minds. The agnostics of the day if they remain within the synagogue
they did it only for business reasons not because they approved or believed it. So they thought that they would prove him up and the sadger him master Moses in the law stayed the little man married and died leaving no offspring that his brother should marry the widow and raised up sea for his brother. Now there were seven brothers and the first one married and died leaving no offspring. And then the second one took him and he died leaving no offspring. And the third took him and find the stubborn marrieder and yet she had no offspring. Then she died. Now in the resurrection which they did not believe in as it stated quite clearly they did not believe in the resurrection. So in the resurrection whose wife will be that woman and he answered in this age the sons of God married and they are given a marriage.
But those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age you know the married no other given a marriage for they are sons of the resurrection and cannot die anymore. Implying therefore until this resurrection takes place in man he is only restored to life to die again. But those who have the experience while they are here they can die normal for their sons of the resurrection being now sons of God. Not belonging anymore to the world of flesh and blood. Now there was no reason to follow that wonderful expression of his with what follows and then he turns to the people around about him. He said, whose son is David? Now it doesn't fit and yet he has the question
whose son is David? And they replied the son whose son is Christ. And they said the son of David. So why then did David in the spirit call him my Lord? If David in the spirit called him my Lord, how can he begin son? Yet if David begins on those words this is the book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ's son of David son of Abraham. So here we are in the midst of a mystery now. How can he be the son of David? When David calls him my Lord. My Lord is an expression of a son about his father he calls him my father. He is trying to get man to go back into the old scripture known in the day which is the Old Testament
and date. And you will find in the 89th song that David does call the Lord my father. He recites it. And I have found David and he is cried unto me that I want my father, my God and the rock of my salvation in full of the Holy Assum, the second song. And I will tell of the decree of the Lord. He said unto me, thou art my son. The day I have begun this is the words of David. All are attributed in the new testament to Christ. Therefore whose name is David? And who is Christ? Jesus is the Lord. The word Jesus means Jehovah. Say God here about the gains is the root of both words. And then we are told in Revelation 11 chapter. And the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord
and of his Christ. They do not put the two words together and call it Jesus Christ. But our Lord and of his Christ. The father and his son. Now you, I tell you, as you are the Lord and you have a son and you will not any charity know you are the Lord until that son and only that son appears and calls you my father. And when your prayers will be no uncertainty in you concerning the relationship between the two of you and then you will know you are the Lord. And if Jesus is the Lord and you know who you are, if Jesus is the Lord and you know who you are, and then you will see how all together marvelous the Bible is. It is completely concealed just as told in Scripture. Here, something hidden
to you, something concealed, something veiled, a great secret and yet a use. And that's the one that is hidden. He is the stripping, he is the lead, he is the young man. And here is completely concealed, varied human. So I tell you, that the thing in this world could happen to you. Convert on through the eruption of the story in you. For they fall for God's journey. And will never again lose your way, this tangled, tangled confusion that passes for religious truth. You pick up the certain morning paper. I am embarrassed to look at it when I look at the religious paper. While it's coming through the air,
flying through because it's Halloween. A huge big air she took in the paper. And I tell you, how she is going to come flying through the air. To her million or two million dollar, super substantial something. For now. But I get so embarrassed to after all, occasionally I do put an ad on that page. For they wouldn't see my ad in on any other page. So I've got to confine myself to that page. And when you read the nonsense that goes in the name of religion, and people do it, they're powerful, tough, line, and thinker. But when this happens to you, you will simply lose all false God. And the only enemy you will ever have is a false God. You have no other enemy. So may I tell you your own wonderful
human imagination is God. It's the Eternaly. And by that, all things were made. And without that, there's not anything made that is made. You are the immortal God. And one day, you will awaken. And I can't tell you the thrill. I think in the morning when I get it, I'm awake. I love it. My familiar objects on the wall in the room. I know I'm awake. But the awakening of which I speak, you can compare that to any awakening you've ever had in this world. It's something entirely different. Memory returns. A great Holy Spirit brings back memory. He is the Remembrance. And we are sealed with the Holy Spirit. And then he releases himself within us its memory. And our memory returns.
And I, in the 20th century, have lost my memory so far back that someone who supposedly lived 1000 BC stands before me. And there is a complete collapse of time. There is no such thing as 3000 years difference. I am his father. And he preceded me by 3000 years. He is in that of complete leap-lapse memory. He is in that complete amnesia. But let the whole vast world suffers from amnesia. And when it happens, you wonder how on earth this could have lasted so long. And yet at that moment it seemed like this. I just assured sleep and then waking to eternity. And the experience you had called death
death is no more. And the only thing that dies then is death itself. As Paul tells us in the 15th chapter of 1st Corinthians, the last thing to become could is death. And death dies because you are the living God. And you seem to die and you will seem to die. But you can die. And in the end you will completely awaken and you and I are one. One of the saints we are the same father and we have the same son. And therefore there is only God and his son. And that's the story of Scripture. So it is in us as persons that God the father and when he reveals himself he reveals himself as the one in whom he awaits.
But not a thing can be seen upon him until the start of prayers. Then the start of prayers and reveals that one in whom you vote. 159 days prior to this moment as God the father. He still didn't know it. He cleaned his awakening and the birth of the child which was assigned and is birthed for 139 days. Then comes David and then tells you who you are. And then you know it. And that all false God punishes. You may fail in application but you cannot go back. You can get back into that Nothing on the outside, yet you are living in the world of Sita and you will render under Sita that which is Sita when we are completing.
Taxes, pay the taxes, the money will come, you will do everything in Sita the man, but you are not of this world. The entirely different being has a working with India which is your true being. So when you read scripture, take the Old Testament as a prophetic blueprint. Just a rough sketch, vague intimations of eternal reality. Then comes the moment in time when these things erupt with India and you experience these things. And then having experience it you can't deny it, you then kill it. So as many as you listen, it doesn't matter how many, as many as you listen, you are sent to do it and to accomplish it with. But then you are the carpenter, you brought forth from seed, you didn't build anything of the outside.
You simply come to be used and then you vanish, who vanishes? Or outside object vanish because now you are from the truth and your heart will burn as you are told. And as we are told in the trade chat, tell the book of Jeremiah, if I say I will not mention it or speak any more in his name, then there is as it were, a fire in my bones. And I am where he was holding it in and I cannot. You have got to talk about it. No matter where you go you talk about it. And you shall it to anyone who has a tear to hear. Not everyone has the air to hear because you got to go through fixed ideas. And your eyes are not open and hairs are not get wind up for them. So you are up against the wall that has been planted in them because they have heard it as a child will heal it.
Truth embodied in the day will end to in at lowly doors. And that all it comes through until one day happens really soon.
