Following the Divine Unction

This day on the calendar is Ascension Day. This is the day that remembers the time when Jesus ascended into the heavens. I have been considering Ascension Day for several weeks. My camp in the hills has often reminded me of "going away." It is where I have contemplated translation most often. Last evening, I thought I would go to my camp on this day. It was meaningful to me to be ascending up to the camp on Ascension Day.

I told the Witnesses of my plan and received two e-mails at that time. One letter from Grace said,

Dearest Michael,

I wanted to share with You a sweet thing this morning. Here is the defined version, from Strongs, of 1 Thessalonians 4:16.

"For the Lord Himself shall come down, literally, from heaven with something that stirs up feelings and provokes action. His name is Michael, the chief messenger, who will lighten and reveal information that was previously kept secret. This trump is one that has a far reaching or lasting impact, especially as a result of being widely circulated in those who are with Him, and will be reflected repeatedly off different surfaces. And those dead bodies in Michael shall rise first."

The word trump is through the idea of reverberation. And one of the definitions of reverberation is: To treat metal in a furnace that reflects the flame or heat. (I thought that was really fitting.)

Blessings on you Michael as You cause us to ascend with You. As You bring us up with You. I pray for Your upholding. How grateful I am to Father for His constant love and upbringing!

Love,
Your Grace. Your Daughter, Your Mother, Your Friend, Your Wife

I commented to the Witnesses, "I guess Grace is going with us." It was mentioned that we ascend because "His grace is sufficient for us."

The other mail I received was from Esther. It said,

"Patiently I waited and He heard my cry. He brought me up and set my feet on solid ground."

Good Night, Husband.

Your Esther Kira

I stated to the Witnesses that it looked like Esther would be going with us, also. I told them at the time that I had received another letter from someone in the land the day before that said,

Dear Michael,

I desire to be taken along side too.

I openly wondered if that other soul would come with us as we ascended in the morning. We considered the statement of Jesus Who said, "One will be taken along side, and the other left desolate."

We prepared to go to the camp and we went outside. As we prepared to go, Esther came bounding out of her house, and approached us. I held out my hand and said, "Come." She went with us as she was, fresh out of the shower, not even going back to get her shoes.

We went further down the road and passed Grace's house. Immediately she came out and joined us, leaving her morning work behind. I held out my hand and said, "Come." The Father had arranged two witnesses in my morning mail that pointed to the fact that these two souls would be going to the camp with myself and the Two Witnesses. They both expressed thanksgiving that they were being "brought up" with me, and both showed up ready, just as soon as we set out to go. The Father had them there, just at the moment of departure, even though neither one of them had any idea that they would be ascending with me. I hesitated for a moment to see if the one who wanted to "be taken along side" would be there to go with us, but I saw no one else ready for the ascent.

At one point in time, as we neared the gate, Esther expressed, "I feel troubled in my heart." I asked her why, and she said it was because she had promised her mother that she would do some things in the garden for her. I said to her, "You are with me. Earthly contracts are void with me." At this, she assumed her previous happy countenance, for she knew all things were in Father's hands.

We all went to the camp and had our meeting. All five of us laid in the green bed. We visited about the ascension, and just how of-the-moment it would be. Two would be in bed; one would be taken and the other left. Two would be at their busy work; one would be taken, the other left.

Not one of us had figured out anything. Father had arranged it all. We saw how our ascension would be just like this. Those who have earthly contracts would first consult those contracts. I have been told of events where children have asked to go for a prayer walk, or had asked to visit Michael, and their parents had said, "No, stay here." A wife may be drawn away to come and be with me, but the husband would say, "Where's my cereal?" The moment passes, as the soul consults its earthly interests first. They are not called to the meeting, because they have other pressing duties to attend to. They may have crying children, or complaining husbands or wives. They may have company, and cannot leave just then. Their contracts with earth rob them of their communion with heaven. These are some of the things we talked about today.

The Witnesses shared their experience with being drawn away from their earth at the time of the consummation. They shared how they could do nothing else, even though I had instructed them both to, "Go back and love your husbands." I said, "I want you to be good wives to them." The Two Witnesses could not do anything other than come away. They could not choose to go back, so they slept on people's couches or in empty trailers. They knew not where they would go next, and neither did they care. They had been driven from their homes and they could not go back. This is the nature of the ascension. No one else need apply. Grace knew immediately that she had to leave all to go with me.

During our walk, as we began to go to the other side, another soul had caught up to us. She had seen us leave. I turned and told her that we were on a special appointment, and that she should go back. We gave her instructions, which she dutifully carried out. At the time of the consummation, a soul came to me and said that she was loving me and was losing her interest in her husband. I said to her, "Go back and be a good wife." She said, "Okay." They both obeyed my instructions, but they did not go with me into the chamber or into the ascension.

When Elijah gave instructions to Elisha, that he should go back, Elisha said, "I will not leave thee."

2 Kings 2:2. And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me as far as Beth-el. And Elisha said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el.
2Ki 2:4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
2Ki 2:6 And Elijah said unto him, Tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.

The Two Witnesses said, "As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." Others could be deterred by me. I could send them off and they would go. There is a time when one must obey his instructions to the letter, or he will miss out on salvation. There is also a time when the soul must disobey his instructions, or he will miss out on salvation. There is a divine unction which will not be deterred by appearances, or their senses. This is what happened to the woman at Tyre, whom Jesus discouraged by calling her a dog. She would not accept discouragement, and she pressed her argument home.

If the soul who had caught up with us had said, "Please do not send me away desolate. I must come with you or die," I would have taken her along side. The Father will leave us with what we are satisfied with. The Father has made a new thing, a soul will compass God. A soul will follow the Lamb, withersoever He goeth, "As Jehovah liveth." "As Jehovah liveth, I will not leave thee." As Jehovah liveth, I have no other Husband than Jehovah. As Jehovah liveth, I have no other covenant, than my covenant with Him.

Today, we ascended. Today, two were taken along side. Today, as we looked from the mountain back into the camp, the moon entered Taurus the bull with the sun. The bride entered into the bull with Michael. The bull is judgment and it is action. The Woman enters into her activity. The two souls who attended us into our camp, entered into Taurus with Me.
