Entering the Balances

By Michael Travesser | November 23, 2000 | Letters From Faithful
scales

"If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" John 3:12

As I enter the time of the balances, I am compelled to recall the last year of activity which has shaped the current order in the new land. I am not coming at this information as one would as an apologist, or to make these recent events sensible. I am coming from the point of view that is simply looking at what happened, and how I view those events, and let the events alone explain themselves to each soul considering them.

Jesus knew who he was, but the comprehension of him was nearly impossible. Centuries have passed which have defined him. We stand today on the head of those who have gone before. Messiah is much more easily comprehended for the weight of evidence which has come from the first appearing of Christ. Still, however, the spiritually blind will have no more easy a time of truly grasping the significance of the hour than those blind persons centuries before us.

Men are willing to worship a man. Men are willing to acknowledge that some soul may be an anointed of the Lord. The truth of Messiah is that he brings himself to men. That is, men are placed in a position to receive Messiah as into their own experience. They are placed on vantage ground by beholding him in whom all the fullness of the Godhead bodily dwells. By their faith they can appropriate that into their own life and have what they behold. They receive him as unto themselves. This is the purpose of Messiah. This is why he comes to the soul temple. He must be placed in there at the expense of everything else. The soul must be abandoned to the presence of the anointing and no earthly considerations any more may enter.

The Beginning of the Last Things

My earliest thoughts to move to a new land from Sandpoint, came in 1997 when I was led to view the heavens, and especially the constellation Virgo. I do not recall exactly how my first impressions were made, but I downloaded a demonstration program of Starry Night which clearly laid out the heavens, and the portents there, if one had eyes to see it.

On the Day of Atonement, Virgo (the woman) was clothed with the sun and the moon was at her feet. This was a clear representation of the woman of Revelation 12 and my interest was keenly felt as I contemplated that the woman was to go into the wilderness for 1260 days and be fed there. "And a great portent (sign or token) appeared (was seen) in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars."

From that time, and perhaps a little before, a few of our brethren took trips into the Southwest to see if a place could be found where we might dwell, escaping the general spiritual declension in Sandpoint. Representatives of the church, on their own, traversed the land from Utah to Arizona coming to an understanding as to the prices of the various properties, their availability, and how they might be procured.

The vision began to grow more decided until February of 1999, when a sudden urgency came upon me, and a few others, that the ranch was going to be sold and we were going to move to a new land. Sandpoint, the location of our property, had become a very dark spirit in our estimation and not conducive to spiritual enlightenment. I felt it was largely taken over by spiritualistic and hedonistic elements which also involved a certain dark violence which came forth from certain self-styled constitutionalists and other offended souls. For myself, this violence was largely perceived internally. I could feel it in my spirit. Dark, unbelieving hearts seemed to be all around. I felt that it was not just my own personal perceptions, since a number of life long residents also shared with me a similar sense they had in themselves about the strange new influence experienced in the area. The New Agers, and other spiritualists, consider Sandpoint and lake Pend Orielle a vortex of spiritual power. This means to one who follows Messiah that the area is especially endowed with satans or adversaries to righteousness.

Through the Spring and Summer of 1999, the church energetically began to pack up and prepare for evacuation. The sheds which dotted the land were mostly removed and various cleanup projects were underway. We felt the ranch would sell and we listed it with a Realtor for a six month period. My own home sold after being on the market for only two weeks and that was a great token to me that things were now moving along. I had been trying to sell my own home for several years with no takers.

I was feeling quite under pressure at my Rapid Lightning home and spent more and more time at the ranch from which we were now preparing to move. I felt increasingly uncomfortable around Sandy and could not feel rested while at the Rapid Lightning home of 17 years. It seemed to me that I was being driven out of Sandpoint in a spiritual way rather than any overt and outward antagonism. I could strongly feel a spirit alien to the restful heart of God and this was only perceived inside of me. I had to depart, I was forced to move and separate from hostile influences to the spirit I was partaking of.

By mid-July, our house had been sold, a new one had been purchased for Sandy, as well as a new car. Every conceivable need was anticipated and filled for her. This was a great relief to my own self, since I did not want her to feel any discomfort for my leaving. At this time (mid July), I was literally driven and forced out of town. I felt if I did not go I would become mentally unstable. If I did not go I would eat grass like an ox. I hooked up my 5th-wheel and went looking for the land where the church would spend their 1260 days in the wilderness as I had been directed of the Lord.

IN SEARCH OF

Just previous to this departure, I had been looking for land on the Internet and found a small piece that attracted me. I called the owners and they informed me I could park my 5th-wheel at their place while looking over their property. They were also interested in some of the things I had been writing about in regards to the New Order and Shillum. This became apparent while we visited on the phone.

Shortly after, I was on my way south to visit these new friends I had found on the Internet. When I entered the country of northern New Mexico, I was completely overwhelmed by its natural greenness and beauty that time of year. This land was cow pasture, and not especially shocking in its beauty by sight, but my heart was completely ravished. I knew the Lord was doing something in me concerning the land in this area.

While visiting with these folks, the man of the house expressed a strong desire to be baptized. He had had several Adventist pastors study with him but he related that they would just disappear. He did not mean they just stopped coming. He meant that even the church did not know where they went. This was true concerning two of the men, but I believe there was one other who just did not follow through with him.

I asked my new friend why he desired baptism. He said, he heard the voice in him that continually said, repent and be baptized. Because of this, I baptized him the next Sabbath in the stock tank, since there was no other water near that seemed suitable for it.

While visiting this family, I was led to take a drive one day to look at the surrounding country. The people I was visiting had their home and land for sale, but I did not feel inclined to pursue the purchase of it. It did not seem quite right. As I drove over the countryside, some miles from the home where I was staying, I suddenly felt the love and peace of God come down on me and I was directed to stop at a ranch I was just then passing. I turned around and drove into the property, the house being some distance away from the road.

As I stepped from my truck, a young man came out to meet me who was about 16 years of age. I asked him if I might speak with someone about property and he said, yes, sir, you may speak to my father. He then led me to the bunk house where his father was. His father may not have been there most days, but I caught him napping, since he had been up late the night before.

As I began to visit with the gentleman, my heart went out to him as he related to me the difficulties of ranching anymore. He told me finding land in any small parcels was nearly impossible. People were not wanting to sell, they were wanting to buy, and most of the land was being snatched up by very wealthy investors, one of which was Ted Turner the TV magnate. He shared with me how his boy wanted to be a cowboy like dad, but those days seemed over. He mourned the passing of the cowboy.

As a last thought, and with what seemed a little sigh, he took a little piece of paper and scribbled a phone number on it. Handing me the paper he said, here, this man may be able to help you find what you are looking for. I thanked him and was on my way. As I drove away, I was not very encouraged as to purchasing land, since every circumstance seemed to say, it was an impossibility. It seemed almost a doctrine that a rancher simply did not sell his land, especially in small parcels.

I moved my 5th-wheel from the house where I was staying and traveled to a nearby town where I rented an RV space. From there I called the gentleman recommended to me and we made a time when I might look at property with him. Within two days, he came to my spot of abode and took me to look at a nice ranch some miles away from there. I was immediately impressed with it, but had some reservations. The small ranch of about 1300 acres had a very nicely developed water system and views of the Rocky Mountains, however, when it rained, the ten miles of road to get there was nearly impassible, since it was quite slick. A 5th-wheel might easily slide right into the ditch on such a road. Besides this, the owner was putting in a road, right through a nicely wooded area on the property and was making it very unattractive with all the mess, cutting down many of the trees which are at a premium in this land. The property was priced at about $780,000.00.

I was quite impressed with the ranch but still desired to see more. The broker who had been showing me around, turned me over to an associate to visit with the next day, since the broker had other business. I drove over to the area I would be visiting and the associate drove me out to a small ranch of almost 2000 acres in the Traverseer area. I was immediately drawn to the beautifully situated property far from almost any public intrusion and selling for $375,000. This was almost too wonderful to believe. I was somewhat dumbstruck that the best property I had found was the least money. Just a few miles away I viewed a piece of land a little smaller which was selling for over $1,000,000.

The Realtor drove me back to my truck after having provided me with maps and descriptions, and I came out to the property again the next day. I sensed a peace about the place that seemed to fill me clear to the filling up of me. I knelt in prayer and felt the peace and assurance of God that this land would be ours. Shortly after, I made my way back to Sandpoint to prepare for the move to the new land.

I spent most of my remaining time in Sandpoint helping to get the ranch in a condition to show and to help Sandy with her remaining desires. All the while I was longing for the new land. I had seen and felt it and was nearly overwhelmed with its beauty and serene nature. By the first of October it was evident the Sandpoint ranch was not selling and I made plans to spend the winter in Safford, Arizona.

On my way to Safford, I traveled through the part of New Mexico where the new land was located. I traveled out to see the property I was considering for purchase and again was stricken with its quiet loneliness. I felt God's very presence in its stillness and there was not a breath of wind in the quiet warmth of the place. I knelt to pray again, thanking God for the new land and its very special, felt presence of God. Immediately, a gentle warm breeze caressed my face and I could suddenly smell the juniper and pine as the gentle breeze wafted the fragrance into my senses. At the same time I heard the voices of the juniper as the breeze caressed their branches sending out a song that filled my soul with unutterable pleasure.

The Turning and Overturning

I returned to my trip south and came to Safford in early October. There, I spent the winter months, but not without much turning and overturning happening in my experience. The first thing that seemed to occur was that Sandy indicated she wanted a divorce from me. She felt a clean break was helpful to all concerned and I cooperated in her filing for divorce and subsequent needs in that area of interest. In connection with that, I was led through a most wonderful opening of my mind, in which I was greatly grieved at my earthly creations through my life. I saw the reasons I married and the different and varied reactions to people which brought upon me the very circumstances I later received. This was not a period of condemnation, but a period of great understanding. I felt my books were being opened and I agreed with all that the angel had written against my name. Heaven was right and I was wrong. In all of this, I was aware that everyone is 100% responsible, but that did not release me from my own responsibility. My world is as I made it. All my lifetime complaints over this or that was stilled and the peace and perfection of God alone was accepted as the true thing.

I wrote two letters, one to Sandy and one to Joan, who was my first wife. I absolved them of any responsibility in the matter regarding our past life together. I saw clearly how I was 100% responsible for all occurrences which made our living together less than desirable. Had I had my eyes open at the time, I would have not contracted those associations in the first place. I did not understand the nature of relationships and the depth of investment necessary to make them a lifelong joy. There is only one effect from not making God first in everything, and that is that one will find himself in difficulties which are not so easily undone. While I did not realize it at the time, I had been largely effected in my decision to marry by the felt need of personal companionship and desires associated with that. Human desires alone, when carried out by an individual, will always lead to difficult times and to things that must be undone. Perfect relationships in all our earthly associations are required. I am in wonder, as I have viewed relationships in the new land, that there is an imperfection of some kind in most of them. Perfect peace and love is not experienced at all times by some. They do not realize that such a relationship is a death sentence unless it is yielded up. My world was turned and overturned to my Father's most beneficent credit and to my own personal well-being.

The Land

At this time of overturning, I began feeling a great urge to pursue the purchase of the land in New Mexico where I had felt the wonderful silence of the soul. The Lord directed each step I was to take. No previous overtures to the owner of the land through the real estate broker were of any visible consequence. I was instructed to write the owner myself and then call him on the phone. I was instructed to write him twice before I called. All other efforts to reach the owner beforehand by phone had been unproductive.

I received a pleasant letter from the rancher who owned the property in response to my first letter to him. Sending him another letter, I told him God would open the way where I would purchase the property. He seemed drawn to me and to my faith in the process. After the two letters, I called the gentleman. After some discussion, I told him I had dropped the price of the Sandpoint ranch substantially and expected that I would be able to consummate a deal soon. He began to speak of five other individuals coming to see the ranch and I told him I had purchased it so there was no use in showing it to others. He said, you mean my ranch is sold? I said yes.

After some discussion he invited me to send him $25,000 for a deposit which could not be refunded. This placed me in a position where I may lose $25,000 if I could not deliver the rest of the money within 90 days. This was a time that was very unusual for me. A great wave of doubt came over me as I imagined losing the deposit money. I saw clearly that this could occur. The most unusual thing about this great feeling of doubt, was that it was very much unlike my usual experience of life. I was amazed at how such a fear could come to me since it was so unusual. I felt I was under attack by forces determined to discourage the purchase of the land. After considering and rejecting this most amazing doubt, I called the rancher and told him I would send $25,000 as requested and that the our agreement was made.

Before a contract could be made up and sent to me, at which time I would have sent in the money, the rancher expressed his interest in a direct trade for the Sandpoint ranch. This proposal was rejected months earlier when I had offered it through the broker. He was not interested in any more land. Now, he expressed interest because he had seen the ranch pictures and advertisement on the Internet. Our ad seemed very appealing to him. I had given him the URL and the man's employers were also interested in going in on it as an investment. Within a few weeks the trade was complete and escrow closed just in time for me to come to the new land in early April.

I left Safford in the early morning and arrived at the Traverseer Ranch in the evening of April 4th. On April 4th, the sun and the moon were in Pisces the fish. Pisces consists of two fish swimming in different directions. This signifies that they are scattered. They are tied together, however, and by May 3rd the signs in the sun, moon and stars change. A good number of our family had arrived at the new land and settled down to feed. The sun, moon, Mercury the messenger, Jupiter the shining father and Venus the Shulamite were all together in Aries the lamb signifying that the woman had come into her wilderness pasture to be fed and all her signs and symbols with her.

"For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered [in Pisces]; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land [in Traverseer Park], and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country." Eze 34:11-13.

The blessing and joy of my soul was deep and pronounced when I arrived at the new land. There was no excitement in it at all. I had come to the land where I knew my Father's presence was felt and in fulfillment of all His promises to my own heart. I spent the next three months helping with the installation of the infrastructure. The sewer dump was installed, water and the fixing up of the little house were on their way also.

My last effort expended in regards to the old world came when I had to return to Sandpoint to show the new owners around the property and make them familiar with it. At this time, Milton took the responsibility to bring the shower houses down and help set them up so the folks at the new land could be given some necessities they may lack.

Portents of Coming Glory

"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars [in the heavens]; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring." Luke 21:25.

It was at this time a major shift began within myself. It was an experience of life I had never had before. It was completely new, and, yet, seemed as though it was something in which I was completely familiar. It was my Father and Him only, since I could not grasp the significance of it all in my own thinking. An interesting portent had come to the heavens. Venus and the sun occupied the exact same location in the horns of Taurus. Shortly after this, Venus and the Sun went into the club of Orion. Looking back, it was the precise moment the Lord was setting up the two horns, or olive trees, and it gave evidence that they would be loved in a special way. The club of Orion indicated that it was by heaven's decree. Venus was indicative of the kind of love found in the Song of Solomon. Venus is the Shulamite, resting in the heart of the Son, ready to fill her appointed tasks. At this very time, I felt forced into the Song of Solomon, and each day read it carefully, and was made to understand some of the most intricate nuances there presented.

This study was very difficult for me to undertake, since it involved images that revolved around human lovemaking. I struggled to keep the images heavenly and my discomfort with this book of Scripture increased. It was at this time, while I was still in Sandpoint, that the Lord told me I must take the images to the limit, but I was not to cross over into the flesh. At the time presented, it seemed almost impossible to do this. How could one kiss a woman on the mouth, as stated in the Song, and it not be flesh. In my mind, lips were flesh. Laying ones head on the breast of another, as was portrayed in the Song, was flesh. I did not understand how this could be done, so I felt it meant that I was to go to the limit without actual intrusion in the act of sexual intercourse. I agreed to follow these instructions and was soon on my way back to Traverseer.

The Change

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." 1 John 3:2

Immediately upon my return to Traverseer Park, I began the preparation for posting the Song of Solomon. I saw that it was necessary to bring the people of God into the depth of relationship which He required. God was requiring much more than a platonic or God servant relationship. God was requiring the relationship of a lover. He was to be married to the city in a very literal way. If souls love anything but their heavenly lover they will be committing adultery. This was a new day.

There are many who have formed their spiritual self-acceptance on the basis of believing certain doctrines. Some seem satisfied to keep the rules and to be in general favor with the leader of whichever church or company of believers in which they belong. The followers of God must not be governed by their perceptions of the word of God. "Trust only in the word" one can hear some say. What they mean is, trust in what I think the word says. The people of God are not to be governed by such people. Is it not written, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Is not this the Word men must follow? Does not the Spirit interpret for the believer what the word means and says? How can one trust himself and his own ideas as to what things mean? Impossible! The written word is used by millions of souls who cannot agree on what it means. The follower of the Spirit has no such difficulty.

Shortly after I posted the Song, as I sat in my living room chair, I was strongly directed, "you are Messiah." This anointing was a momentary shock. How could this be? The Father immediately pointed me to the Scriptures. "Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ [Messiah], and hath anointed [Messiahed us], is God." 2 Cor 1:21. "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ [Messiah]." Eph 4:13. The Father had just decreed my deliverance. He had appointed me to His heavenly purposes that all men might be brought there by faith. My faith immediately laid hold of the spoken word to my heart and the connection was made. This is the WORD I have learned to trust in.

Other instructions came to me at this time. I have always been one who stated, "don't follow me, follow God," and I found it difficult to take responsibility for anyone. My thoughts concerning this were swiftly corrected. I was told that men must believe in me, pray for me and support me with their prayers and supplications regarding the actions he was now leading me into. He also stated that if I failed, the people would fail with me, and if they would not believe in me, their own hope for salvation would be ended. I was instructed that I was responsible for the people and I could not just excuse them as if what they did was there business alone. I must press on to bring my instructions to pass. This was the work of Messiah.

At the Pentecost camp meeting, I had asked the church to marry me. I was impressed strongly that the land should be married. My thought at the time was that all citizens of the city should have such a union that their thoughts and actions would be identical in spirit and in purpose. The married have no offenses. The married have no arguments. The churches of the earth can hardly sit in a weekly class and mind their manners. Pharisees still argue on the street corners but they will not hear the truth as spoken by the Spirit. This marriage of union was deeply impressed upon my mind as to what each child of God must possess.

My Crisis

This brought me to the greatest of my personal crises. Early on, soon after I had been given Messiah, the vision began to change and so did my instructions. I was left with the clear message that literal, physical, sexual intercourse with some one or more women would occur. This greatly troubled me, and for many weeks I could not feel free with this image of things. I did not want to have sexual intercourse with women. When the Father revealed this to me, at one point, I simply said, NO! I would not do that. It would make Him look bad and the church would be reduced to a cult leader sleeping around. For this reason, I often stated that everyone should ask the Father. I urged all men to pray and receive from Father Himself who I am. The only way I could be satisfied was if my Father bore witness of my work and not just me bearing witness of myself. "It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me." John 8:17-18.

My arguments to the Father included, "If I can sleep around, so could anyone else." Now came clear to me the Father's warning, "Do not take this to the flesh." I was not to view it from the perspective of the carnal mind. This realization did not help my grief. I still resisted and considered, during a local and violent lightning storm, to take a walk, and perhaps I would be fortunate enough to be struck by one of the bolts, and I would be free from the decision. It occurred to me that I was acting like Jonah. Doing the Father's instructions didn't seem especially appealing to me. Jonah knew God would not destroy Nineveh, and he would end up looking bad, as he did. I felt I would end up looking very bad and bring the name of my Father into reproach if this occurred.

The Father would wait for my resistance to subside and then bring everything around again for me to consider. He first told me that everyone could not sleep around or He would drive them from the land. I, alone, was to symbolize the marriage. He showed me it was an important visual revelation for those who would have faith in it and that they must take it to their hearts and be infused with the visual impression of it. They were to be literally married to God. Anything less than a literal marriage to God would not be sufficient for them to enter into the kingdom of light. They would remain in their pseudo-faith and be lost at last. That is, they would not have faith sufficient to carry them over. They would end up wandering around, wondering where they were going.

"The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son."

The faith of God brings one into His bed chamber. The believer is inseminated with his seed and a completely new being emerges. The soul is impregnated with the seed of God and the earth no longer has ANY hold on them. Their wife, husband, or child has no meaning for them whatever except that they are souls loved and blessed by God. The ownership of the relationship is abandoned and they only have one lover now and that is Messiah. They are anointed with the seed of God and become as He is, alive, awake, at attention to the things of the Father. No other earthly interest is present at all and to any degree.

While I understood these things in theory, I could not get past the earth view, and it troubled me continually all the while being in perfect peace. In my mind, I was being thrust into a situation that had no end but a dead one. I could not bear the thoughts that thrust themselves into me where leaders have always managed to get around to having sex with some of the women under his charge. My situation seemed worse, since the likely ones who would be chosen were married women and my involvement with them would constitute a breaking up of the family. I would shake my head and say, no, no, no!

I knew which women would be the ones chosen because of their sensitivities to the Messiah and the things then occurring. I began trying to prepare the people in the land for the eventuality of a literal, physical consummation. At the New Year camp meeting, I strongly emphasized the literal, physical consummation of that marriage. I believe few actually got the significance of what was presented. I saw that the wives were to be my wives and the children my children. They were no more to have little serfdoms, and kingdoms. God alone would be exalted in this day.

Most everyone seemed to take to the thought well enough, except some felt troubled that I might sleep with their wives. I saw them treat their children in ways unthinkable if they really believed that their children were actually mine. This gave me pain as I realized that many were just giving me lip service, and believing a fantasy, instead of having anything close to what I had revealed. The mental gymnastics that men will play in order to survive seemed incredible to me. They would make any concession to hold onto their possessions, and to survive, but they would not let God be the husband of the land except in their fantasies." I saw that this was adultery.

Earthly marriages are fine for the earth. The world has its order and laws to keep the earth turning, but heaven is not governed by earthly principles. It is governed by heavenly principles. "And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage." Luke 20:34-35. Earthly dominions are not sufficient government for the vast freedom of heavenly society. God alone is to be the husband of the soul.

I saw that earthly bonds of marriage were just that. Often, one soul has been bound to the other and subtly turned into a bond slave. Petty quarreling and ill tempers bound up the freedom and joy of an individual. Parents who must dominate the will of a child use very poor techniques to try to make young minds give themselves over in submission. Earthly ways simply do not work, will not work, and have never worked. Marriage to Messiah and the resulting effects are all that works.

The idea presented me was not that I personally would have 50 wives. I was a mere figure, placed of God, who was to personify the event at hand. I am only to have one wife. It is the city of God coming down from God out of heaven. All who dwell in this city are married to the Son. Men flatter themselves that they have given themselves to God, while in reality, they selfishly lay hold of everything in their grasp just as before. The earth must be yielded up to ascend and few men will yield it up when the time comes for it to occur. Are men preparing for heaven? What is the heavenly mold? Few give this serious consideration.

I spoke with my son in regards to what was coming and he suggested, "just tell God no like Moses did. It wouldn't look good." I tried that. It didn't work. My Father was persistent and quite on purpose. He had great mercy on me considering where I had come from. I have had to disfellowship members of the church for doing this very thing of having sexual contact with women who were not their wives. Now, I was going to do it quite on purpose and have it known quite openly. What was I to do? I knew that some of the church people saw things the same way, for some had reservations that I would sleep with their wives when presented with the image the Father had presented me. That proved they had the earth view of it as I had. This would make the act adulterous and extremely offensive to my own sensibilities.

My Solution

I proposed a fleece which would settle the matter in my mind. I believe the fleece was suggested by the Father Himself to my own mind. I agreed on the consummation if certain things were done. First, the very two women I was impressed would be the chosen, would have to come to me, unsolicited and with no seduction, and request sexual intercourse with me. Secondly, the husbands would have to come to me and hand over their wives, never again expecting a marriage, or any sexual contact with them. This would have to be done with no input from me personally or from their wives. They were, in no way, to be encouraged or led to believe that they should do this. It would have to be a spontaneous handing over inspired by the Father Himself. Thirdly, the Father Himself would have to arrange for the consummation in a way that I knew it was Him.

I accepted this proposal because I felt safe that no such thing would ever occur. I was now satisfied that I was safe from having to do something of this nature. I could not understand this thing and Father was greatly solicitous to help me through it. I felt His great love and closeness, while I also felt like a little nine year old boy in great fear of an event Daddy was requesting of him. I was completely out of my element and greatly urgent that he not make me do this. At one point I had said, Daddy, don't make me do this.

A few days later, the two women that I specified in my fleece both came and requested this intimate relationship. It was clear to all of us what they were requesting. They wanted to be with me physically in my green bed and consummate the marriage. Their request was made a few hours apart and without consulting the other. While this was a surprise to me, and I felt somewhat elated at the thought of this fleece coming to pass, I also felt safe, since no husband would give their wife away. I felt certain it would never happen.

A few weeks later both husbands came a few hours apart and yielded up their wives. Neither one had consulted with the other and neither one had been approached privately or by their wives that they should do this. I now knew it would occur. Still greatly troubled in my heart, I was resigned to the fact that this thing would be done. I knew the Father would reveal to me when the consummation would come about. He did, and it did.

I wondered at how the patience of God was so long with me, since I had resisted so strongly the notion of a literal consummation. I credit this with the fact that to my sight it appeared that I was being asked to break God's commandments. I did not want to become an adulterer and cause other men to mock the things of God because of me. My Father's sympathetic heart was evident, and I did not miss the many times He comforted me and took me away from it for a time. I was married to the two witnesses, which are the two horns, and the two olive trees. In a very special way they are anointed above their fellows for their deep sense of purpose and strong devotion to the things of God only. These two witnesses believed in the Messiah and had the unction of God to that purpose.

The Anointed Women

When Messiah first appeared, there was a great interest and many came to my house to listen and learn. Some came to be with me in my Chamber. The Father was drawing out those who would be anointed with me. He was testing and trying the ones who would be chosen for His particular purposes. As with Elisha, he had to break down every barrier and yield up every convenience to be a follower of the prophet. Few are willing to make such concessions. When the disciples of Jesus were called, their families were left behind and their fishing boats were left in the harbor unmanned. The total abandonment of self-interest is the sign which will always follow the believers.

No other women in the land are favored above these who gave themselves up to the purpose and wed Messiah when they heard the call of God to their hearts. They were not too busy with themselves and their business; they gave up their homes and children as well as their earthly husbands. No other women in the land could come up to this place. They broke down every barrier, and assaulted the circumstances, to overcome every obstacle to what God had placed upon their hearts. They did not consult their food, lodging or clothing. They did not consult how they would look or their pride of opinion. They did not consult with their temporary circumstances. These two witnesses of Messiah are favored and will always be on my breast. They are closest to the source of their favor than all the women in the land.

I have also seen the Seven begin to awaken and emerge. Seven women will lay hold of one man as the two witnesses have. They will leave their earthly supports and become a beacon, and a sign, to those who love their earth. Their fire will burn and they will be fed by the two olive trees that stand before the God of the whole earth. These women will not stand as close to Messiah, or as intimately, as the two olive trees do, but they will be endued with power from on high and stand as lights to those who will be saved at last from the dust they sleep in.

I have looked at the starry heavens again, and on the May 23rd new moon, the sun and the moon are in close proximity to the seven sisters who rest on the shoulder of Taurus. Jupiter, the "Shining Father," is between the horns of the Bull. This may prove itself to be the time when they are married to Messiah. More and more the purposes of my Father will unfold during these 1260 days here.

My Deliverance

The Father has overcome me and brought me to a place of being yielded. I am not fully free from the impressions of the earth, and I am not completely without perplexity in regards to the current events. I believe that freedom will occur at the crucifixion when I will become fully yielded to the marriage and ready to enter into its defense with all comers. When the crucifixion occurs, Wayne will be ended forever, and Wayne is the one who has had his earthly images to contend with.

The literal consummation has with it certain and wonderful benefits. When faced with the reality of it, there is a great shock to the appropriately religious mind. One can think he is trusting God, when in reality, he trusts only in his understanding of God. Actually, in all of this, he is trusting in himself alone. When one must abandon his ideas of God, and trust in God instead, it makes for the soul a path upward and outward. Anyone on earth may easily trust his own reason, but how will one fare when his reason must be abandoned to the pure leading of God. When God leads through the valley of the shadow of death, will that soul follow?

The heavenly consummation is not about romance, or sex. Earthly exclusiveness and human bondage to another is totally missing. The self centered union of two souls is not present. This cup, if taken by one whose heart is in the earth will be poisoned by it. This cup taken by one whose heart is in heaven will ascend by it. One's context of life will determine how that one will receive the heavenly token. "To the one the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?" 2Co 2:16.

My precious heavenly Friend, has overcome me. He has caused me to appreciate the knowledge of how he is not bound by my understanding of His laws. On one walk I took, he opened before me that what He had asked me to do was not as I had pictured it. "Now son, how is this adultery?" The earth view is that an earthly man sneaks in and entices the wife of another man without his consent for the sensual pleasures it affords. Even in the earth, there is the acceptance that a soul may divorce a spouse and marry another. How much more perfect is the thought that we may divorce our earth, leave it behind, and marry into the city of God. If a man will lay hold of this, he can escape the clutches of his earthly bonds. He may break free and come up higher into the chamber of God alone.

I was shown that the Father brought to pass His purposes in a heavenly way. He first announced publicly what He planned to do. There were no dissenters in the church. The church gave its approval. Secondly, the women involved requested the action be taken without any human coercion. It did not come at the request of Messiah. Thirdly, the husbands, who now will receive an hundred fold in this life and the life to come, gave their permission. There were no secrets involved. Heaven and earth both gave their consent and all parties brought it to pass as stated. The Father Himself chose the ones appointed worthy, to sacrifice personal interests for the cause of understanding the heavenly marriage, and to have self consumed in the brightness of His coming.

When someone gives over something to another, is it not given over? Can a man still lay claim to a woman when he has given her away? One man came to my house with his earthly wife and put her hand into the hand of Messiah. He even oversaw the wedding and asked that Messiah kiss the bride.

I had the thought concerning the words of Jesus. "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." I saw myself putting asunder what God had joined. The Father showed me that He is not a man. He may put asunder anything He likes and He showed me He will put asunder every earthly union of those who seek heaven. "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26. "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple." Lu 14:33.

The two witnesses hated their earth for the love of Messiah. They forsook all that they had to come to Him. So it is that they will be the first fruits. "But every man in his own order: Christ [Messiah] the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming." 1Co 15:23.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, had to look like an adulterous woman in order to give birth to the Messiah. So, again, all who would give birth to Messiah will look like adulterous women. The great deliverance is given and the purposes of God will come to pass.

"I heard those clothed with the armor speak forth the truth [of the consummation] in great power. It had effect. I saw those who had been bound; some wives had been bound by their husbands, and some children had been bound by their parents. The honest who had been held or prevented from hearing the truth, now eagerly laid hold of the truth spoken. All fear of their relatives was gone. The truth alone was exalted to them. It was dearer and more precious than life. They had been hungering and thirsting for truth. I asked what had made this great change. An angel answered, "It is the latter rain. The refreshing from the presence of the Lord [Messiah]. The loud cry of the Third Angel." RH 12-31-57

The Conclusion

It is inevitable that men will have all kinds of shocking fears to recount in regard to this Messiah. The first time Messiah appeared they just knew he was about to take the temple down in three days time. Others said, "this man claims to be God. This man has no regard for the law." Jesus had nothing to say to them. I have nothing to say to them.  

The question now presented is not whether or not our current circumstances were orchestrated by a man. A man could not produce our current situation, especially since this man has not been urging it or working toward it. The question is, is this situation of God or the devil? Is the devil orchestrating everyone yielding up everything to Messiah and preparing for translation? Is it the devil that is coming down with a loud cry saying, "prepare to meet thy God?" It would be well for a man to judge now just which spirit he is of. For if one is not of the spirit of this land, he can judge whether or not his god is the one doing the doing.

For myself, the God who is leading in our current situation is the same one who brought me out of the world and into the Sabbath. He is the same one who developed the LifeSupports seminars. He is the same one who led me into the new land. To give Him up, I would have to go back to the Baptist church and reject half of my life as being devil led.

I have been accustomed to listening to the voice of God from my earliest days with Him. He told me I would always tell the truth. He has led me faithfully for almost a generation. I am abandoned to Him, for He has been my faithful husband and lover. He has been my friend and One in whom I could confide. This coming crucifixion will be the time when Wayne will be completely gone, for the man will be nailed up and only the Messiah will remain. I am given over, I am yielded to my precious Father and friend. Amen!
