[Aka is here.]
“Good
evening, Aka. Where is Ray?”
Soul Ray stands with God.
And
we say unto you unto these words, glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory
be the name of His children, forever and ever.
And we say unto thee, unto this parable.
For as a man walks, and as a man speaks, so is he known, whether he
be a liar, or a man of truth. By his action he is known, by that unto
which he does. And so it is with a woman. But the Lord does not make a liar, nor a thief, nor a murderer. man
himself makes these things. The Lord does not make you truthful or law abiding.
Man himself makes these things.
And
so we say unto thee, that upon the mountain top three
men met, [as] had been prearranged. Each brought the great knowledge of the Earth
from whence they lived. Much had the knowledge of the other.
And
as they met, an uninvited guest arrived. He looked quite innocent, and he
looked as though he was not of a great scholar. But the three thought they
would make sport of him, and began to ask him questions.
Unto each of the questions they asked,
he answered truthfully and forthright.
Soon,
they began to realize that his knowledge was way beyond anything that they possessed.
And so, they began to plot to kill him.
All three of these men were great scientists, great of knowledge, great [of]
philosophy, yet here they were − jealousy has overridden their thoughts;
greed had taken forth their brain; and the monster of monsters had possessed
them. And they did slay this stranger.
And
as he lay dead before them, suddenly each began to blame the other for his
death, for they were frightened. From where did he come with such great
knowledge? Before they had come upon the mountain each had thought about God,
but none had really believed. Now they began to remember all the stories of a
stranger sent among them to bring them knowledge; was he he?
Was he the great chosen one they had
slain?
Each began to realize that if their
people learned of their deed, they themselves
might be slain or cast into the wilderness, for all the people had waited for
the coming. They made a pact to bury him, and they would return unto the three
corners of the Earth to tell their people of the great knowledge they
possessed. And so they buried him beneath stone, and they went forth.
When each arrived into their own lands,
into their part of the Earth, the great scientists gathered around them. And a
young man came walking through the door. He looked exactly like the other man.
The man became greatly frightened and confessed what he had done.
And the young man looked upon him, and
each of them, for he had appeared in three places. And he said unto them, “For
I come from the Father who has sent His first son unto you and you have killed
him. But I have come to collect the debt that you owe.”
And they said, “What debt is this?”
And
[he] said unto them, “A life − a life from each of you.”
[For] the great countries and great
dictators of countries thought, “We cannot give forth a life unto this one. Why
should we be afraid?”
Yet the whisperings from the people had
already begun. Instead of three countries and three parts of the Earth that
were divided into thirds, suddenly the people were becoming one, with once
voice − to pay, to pay with their own lives.
They were greatly frightened.
And
then the young man said, “I will give you your lives, but first, we shall
debate. And if you are smarter than I, you have greater knowledge than I. You have
killed my brother, and he had a greater knowledge than you. If I have a greater
knowledge, then you must crucify yourselves.”
They began to debate. And upon each subject the young man excelled
greatly. And the mob and the people called for the lives of the men.
And
the young man spoke and said, “No, they shall live, but they shall not live
great among you as they have − nor shall not be great among God, nor in
the eyes of God, for they have committed murder.”
As
you wait, and as this time grows near, the story we have told you becomes more
truthful, for there are different parts of the same man that may be killed many
times. He may be betrayed by his friends, and that may kill one part of him. He
may be lied to by his friends, and that may kill another part of him. But the
final death shall be between him and his God, for not the smallest thing shall
fall upon the earth without the Father knowing, and caring.
Now
we have told you of the times that are ahead.
Some would say, “They have told us these
stories to frighten us. But look into your own books, and is it not written
that none who wears the Mark of the Beast shall be allowed to enter? It does not
say that [these] who wear the Mark of the Beast shall not continue to exist,
only that they may not enter. [See The
Revelation, chapters 7, 14, 15, 16, and 20:4-6.]
And
we say unto you, “Enter where? What do they speak of? What do they mean?” [See The
Revelation, chapters 21 and 22.]
Are we to ignore the visions of John, or Isaiah, or all the prophets?
Are we to ignore them, to change them to suit our own desires, or are we to
accept them, as they are, as they were, and as they shall be? For as the men on
the mountain top, killing the thought, the message that was sent, was not
enough.
For as the Lord, Jesus, said, “Destroy
this temple, and I shall rebuild it in three days.” [See John 2:12-22.]
And we say unto you, is it not written
that there would be two prophets, and they would die and lay in the square of
the town, and in three days they would rise again?
And what is the true word of
resurrection? To rise from the [dead]. [See The
Revelation 11:1-13.]
Did
not Jesus tell you the story of the son who forsaked
all things and left his father, and went into many lands, and the son who
stayed and worked the land.
He took his inheritance with him, and
when all else failed, he thought, “Even the servants on my father’s land live
better than I.” And so he returned. And his father clad him in the greatest
gowns and garments.
And
the older son came and saw this, and said, “Father, why do you do this?”
And
the father said, “For he was dead, and he has returned. Would you deny me
this?” [See Luke 15:11-32.]
Many years ago when we came to you, and were asked, “Why do you come?”
And we said we did not come unto others, but we had come that the fulfillment
of soul Ray should lead his flock.
You
prepare yourselves for your Annual Meeting. As shepherds of flocks, ask
yourselves what you have accomplished. Have you tended the flock? Are you truly a part of the whole? What have you
done to bring strength to the group? Have you brought truth? Have you brought
yourselves? Did the house of the Lord go wanting?
We
have told you a parable, a parable of truth. The degree of truth will be for
your deciding.

Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
