FEAST
1 All
those, who would enter the We
will be using three basic Bible stories: In
Matthew, we read of a rich man who prepared a great wedding feast for his Son.
He sent forth his servants to tell the guests to come for everything was
prepared. Of this, the wedding guests made light, and treated his servants
disrespectfully -- abusing them greatly. In
the New Age we are entering in, we find a great desire for revelation and truth.
Yet, when the preachers of the Word go into the world as the servants of God,
they are abused and mistreated. This is angering our heavenly Father, the King
of this Universe. It
is a privilege for all the sons and daughters of God, and for the world in
general, to be invited to the Great Wedding Feast. Yet, how many are heeding the
call? The judgment recorded in Matthew 22 is promised to this world if it does
not heed the call to the great wedding feast. Jesus
tells us that the King sent his armies and destroyed those unworthy -- whom
Jesus called murderers -- and burned their cities. The
King pronounced the wedding guests unworthy and went seeking those in the
highways and byways. He gathered both the good and the bad and allowed them to
participate in the great event. The
past generation -- the old age -- is likened to those who mistreated the
servants of God. The Judgment of Fire will destroy the old Creation. Those
abiding under the old Order will be destroyed by the fire of God's Judgment.
Those pronounced unholy and unrighteous by the old age will find themselves
seated at the Master's table for we are living in the day when the Word of God
is being physically manifested. There
will be no more allegories, no more stories, and a definite end to fiction. All
will be reality. Even in the New Age, there are going to be found those who will
try to enter without the wedding garment. And, as in the bible story of old,
they will be cast out and there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of
teeth. The
modern day wedding garment for the New Age is nothing more than the glorious
Light of Christ -- the physical manifestation of energy and force in both
spiritual and physical action. Without this, regardless of the age we are living
in, we are doomed. And this Light of Christ comes to us through epigenesis, or,
as it is commonly called, the Grace of God. The
New Age is an Age of physical spiritual enlightenment. One must abide in this
Light; for in the true God-creation, all is Light, and in It, there is no
darkness at all. In
the story found in Luke, we are told that after the expulsion of the old guests
and the entrance of the new guests, there was still room at the table. The
Master bade his servants to go out and find some more guests. In Luke, He also
pronounces the old guests truly unworthy. In
the New Age, millions upon millions will enter through the Light of Christ. It
will be surprising to many whom they will find sitting at the Master's table. In
order to find this Light of Christ and be accepted at this great wedding feast,
one must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Him (as stated in Luke
14:27). In
Revelation 19: 7-9, the story is repeated. This time, it is called the Marriage
of the Lamb. This is a New Age wedding. We
are told in the Holy Order of MANS that in the New Age, the Lamb of God
is the Mind. This is a joining of the Mind to the Spirit and the Physical so
that they may perform one function -- the glorification of God in unison. This
marriage feast of the Lamb must take place in every believer's being before it
can be taken in a universal literal sense. Revelation
19:7 says: "Let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to him; for the
marriage of the Lamb has come and his wife has made herself ready." The
Spirit has made itself ready for the proper function of use in this New Age. All
have been invited to participate, but only those with the Light of Christ will
be accepted. In
Revelation 19: 8-9, we find an excellent description of the Light of Christ and
its functions. We find out through this scriptural verse that this Light of
Christ is the righteousness of the Saints. In
Verse 9, it is stated: "And he
said unto me, Write, blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper
of the Lamb. And he said unto me, these are the true sayings of God." John,
the revelator, is hereby testifying to the verity of the truth in the marriage
feast of the Lamb. In
Matthew 25: 1-13, the following story is recorded. The bridegroom came, and that
the door was shut. Afterwards came the five foolish virgins saying: "Lord,
Lord, open unto us." And the answer came: "Verily I say unto you, I
know you not." Matthew cautions us by saying: "Watch therefore; for
you know not, neither the day nor the hour, wherein the Son of God is
coming." The
Son of God is the center of the marriage -- the Master of the Feast. He, through
the Great Light of Christ, has created the possibility of our participation in
this great turn of events. The
Lamb of God must be wedded to the Spirit. After the wedding takes place through
the Light of Christ and the force and energy of the Father, the Mind of man and
the Mind of the Father become One as they were in the beginning. Duality
ceases to exist at this point; for man arises out of the state of physical
concepts. His mind becomes spiritually perfect, and he assumes his
responsibility as the Son of God. After this has taken place in all of God's
creation of true Sons, the world will come completely under the dominion of the
New Order and God's plan will have come to pass. At
this great Feast, there will be no spot or blemish, no defilement or any such
thing. The Day of the Lord will be accomplished. All will eventually turn
towards Him. Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He is the
Christ. Those who have been faithful over a few things will be rulers over much. Since
we are living in a Day of active reality, we cannot waste time or suppose
anything. Things actually are or they are not. Our God is a Living Vital Force
causing all things to be in existence. His Feast is a Feast of action and
reality -- a vital Feast and one that all mankind must attend. |
