Never before in the history of the world, has there been a greater need for the humane teachings of Jesus Christ! We are living in a world, a complex society, where the news media report only depressing, degenerated stories of every evil plaguing our so-called civilized society. Such is the bad news that keeps the population at large in a deep-seated state of spiritual darkness and depression. For a fact newspapers do not print good news, not because they do not know of any good things to report, but because bad news sells copy and this is the name of their game. TV and radio share the same garbled trivia as their counterparts. The public bargains only in moral breakdown when it tunes in to such media. The religious leaders of our day add to the woes of the people by tickling their ears with falsehoods so as to appease their members, just as Constantine the Great pacified the pagans of his day by allowing their false doctrines to creep into the pure Christian religion. Whether by ignorance or deliberate suppression, the religious leaders ignore the humane message of Jesus' classic Sermon on the Mount, to say the least.

People everywhere, in every walk of life, are worried and perplexed at the trying times. And rightly so, for the times reveal signs of a pending doom, hanging over the human race, a great dark cloud veiling the sun's light and causing only spiritual darkness upon the earth. Lawlessness due to the doubled population (2 billion in 1925, now 4 billion, only 53 years later! Experts predict 8 billion by the year 2025) is on the increase at shocking levels! Law and order are vanishing from the scene; modernists cry out for more and more freedoms, which in turn result in more and more lawlessness, for there cannot be real freedom without law and order. Some pass all this off as history repeating itself, not realizing that lawlessness now rules the earth with an arm of unbreakable steel. Corruption is everywhere and everyone has a price to allow corruption or be corrupted by the wicked system. Believe it or not, never in the history of the human race on earth, has there been a greater danger of total man-made self-destruction, for man now has the ultimate power to destroy himself and every living thing on earth if he so chooses. But the saddest part of it all is, that most people are led to believe that the news media have the right to set the example for the nation's standard of living -- and how wrong they are! Yes, while crime, rape, murder, arson, war, killing and stealing make for headlines and sell papers, there must be some good news that greedy commercial interests can relate to the public, especially in this time of spiritual darkness. TV and movies also do their part to teach and brainwash the public into believing that they as plastic gods are leading the public to their true destiny.

Yes, like gods they dictate the mode of living as depicted on their shows as authentic standards of good living, demoralized standards that would shock the senses of the world of just 25 years ago. Is it any wonder that the world is void of truth and humane living, void of humane love for one another and the creatures of God? What was against the law 20 years ago is now hailed as the new freedom of morality. Judges and justices no longer know what obscene means, lower courts do not have the time to be bothered, lawmakers are powerless to enforce laws that can now be twisted or bent to any tune, drat all too often protect the villain, setting him free to commit his crimes all over again. Now on TV and in the movies the villain is right and the law is wrong. Every form of lawlessness, from prostitution to outright murder, is treated with reverence. If the crook or con artist gets caught, this is a bad thing, for he now has a right to break the law and succeed at crime. The criminal mind is now above the law as long as he can outsmart the law; the villain becomes the hero and the law enforcers the "heavies." And what's more, the children who watch this unprecedented rubbish, are actually led to believe it and accept it as the right standard of living. Ignorance begets ignorance, and is literally ruining the world. Where will it all end and when? Only when God acts, and not any man or nation, for the appointed time to end wickedness is fast upon us. The remaining time is short indeed.

Truly, the time foretold by God's prophets has arrived -- the time of the lawless generation that would love the lie instead of truth. Such a time was indeed spoken in holy scripture as the last days of a wicked world, an end time that would mark the establishment of God's kingdom rule on earth and severely felt by every nation on earth. Yes, a time to be on God's side of law and order, because lawlessness will not win out or survive. But really shouldn't this be the task of the many religions of the world, that of telling the people the truth concerning the wickedness of the world and its leaders? Yes, and some are really trying to do so to the best of their abilities, and others only for the building up of large bank accounts. In fact, there is as much religious literature as newspapers -- depleting the forest of its precious life only for commercial gain and self interests -- but no truth is reported in them. As sad as it is, the humane nature of Christ has been kept in the very depths of darkness, and was never meant to be revealed -- sealed in a tomb, as it were -- long forgotten and suppressed. No, this is not an attack on the news media or religion, but on the right of the public to know and be informed of knowledge that would make life easier to cope with and a greater pleasure to enjoy. The world is not evil, as it is portrayed by sick writers interested in "the fast buck." It is not corrupted and bought off for or to the highest bid or bribe. Only man is evil, who so chooses the evil over the good. And man's evil is manifested in everything he does. Just look around you and see and hear: bad news, hard times, depression and war on the horizon.

Jesus warned in his own Gospel, of men that would seek only to corrupt the morals of all through greed, appetite and perverted sex, to name only a few of the evils. He warned of a generation of wickedness that would delight in evildoing and would cast off all holiness and good. But such a generation would be short-lived and temporary, even though that same generation would cause the destruction of the world. As in Noah's time after the flood, so also in our time, there will be survivors of this wicked generation -- those who choose good over the evil. If the present world of mankind lived by the laws of the forthcoming Humane Gospel, there would be no need for a final judgment, for judgment comes only because of the evil, and not the good. Thank God, man does not have to rely on men to bring forth good news! God's holy angels have always been in charge of separating the good from the evil, and in every generation, God has seen to it that those of a righteous heart are informed, one way or another, of His plan of salvation for the good of the earth. Especially in this end time, did God promise that all would be revealed to those seeking true wisdom and knowledge. All of the false religion of the world cannot suppress the light of truth that shines forth! All of the evil of man and devil combined cannot keep the door barred to eternal life for those who love God and His holy law! Therefore, with great pleasure, we bring this masterwork of Jesus to the fore for every humane eye to read, every humane heart to rejoice in. While long suppressed by the later popes of Rome for obvious reasons, this same Holy Gospel has been in circulation ever since it was written by Jesus' holy twelve apostles. Yes, for some 2000 years fragments here and there have been discovered or recovered by God's true people on earth, and in this manner preserved for this final generation as a witness and testimony against falsehood.

Locked away deep in the archives of the Roman Catholic Church in the Vatican, no doubt rest many untranslated texts of this same Gospel, even where the famous Essene Gospel of Peace was discovered in 1926. The same holds true of the famous Dead Sea Scrolls that also contain many Essene documents relating to this same Gospel of the Holy Twelve, but again for obvious reasons are being withheld from the public, so as not to cause a spiritual earthquake among the Christian and Jewish religions. No, the well organized and flourishing religions do not want an expose on the humane Jesus, for their very foundations would crumble, and their financial empires would disintegrate. But all truth will come with a breakthrough of the scrolls' true nature, and when they do, the churches of Christendom will collapse with a great thunder. Meanwhile, the foregoing texts taken from the Gospel of the Holy Twelve will enlighten any who seek for the humane love of the holy law as Jesus himself taught to his disciples. The earliest church fathers did all they could to preserve this humane gospel of Jesus, they themselves being humane vegetarians and lovers of the law. The newly reprinted works of the Ante-Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers (nearly 2000 years old) give tremendous testimony to the authenticity of this gospel.

Theirs was a constant struggle for truth within the early Catholic church, None of them died the professed Catholics they were instructed to be. Severe pressure of the church cost thousands of innocent Christian lives, and the holy writings were burned often without a trace. But God, always defending the truth of His word, saw to it that many copies were hidden safely in various places, later to be rediscovered and revealed to the world. There are literally thousands of Jesus' writings (or inspired by Jesus) in the Buddhist monasteries that testify to Jesus' humane nature and the true Gospel. Safely deposited there by Essene brothers for future generations to realize, these scrolls breathe forth the truth of the holy law of love and free men of every injustice, as they learn of the beauty of living together in harmony with the law of nature. St. John Chrysostom (cir. 400 A.D.), one of the most eloquent of all Christian literary advocates, wrote in his Homilies: "We (the Christian leaders) practice abstinence from the flesh of animals to subdue our bodies....the unnatural eating of flesh meat is of demonical origin....the eating of flesh is polluting." He also stated that "flesh meat and wine serve as material for sensuality, and are a source of danger, sorrow, and disease," and quotes Jesus as saying to his followers: "Ye must be humane, to be my followers."

It is amazing that every early church father -- and there were many knew and obeyed the Holy Law as Jesus gave it to his disciples in the Humane Gospel. But what is even more amazing is why has such wisdom been ignored for so long a time by the Christian religions? There remains no excuse for this deliberate ignorance on the part of those churches that choose to ignore the Holy Law, and judging from the standards that Jesus himself gave, such religions are from the devil who inspires their leaders and corrupts them in sin against the Holy Law of God.

St. Jerome, known for the lion and sheep that lived with him under the same roof, was also of the humane nature, and followed the holy way of life. It was Jerome who under duress edited the New Testament, to his own dislike. He admits that all too much had been taken out for the sake of self-indulgence, and that many errors were in effect by the various translators who all too often made copies from memory or hearsay. His greatest disappointment was the Old Testament, which he wanted to reorganize and edit, but died before he got the chance. He speaks loudly against the many errors and interpolations of the Old Testament, and argues that much did not belong and much was left out that did belong. Again, every trace of the humane message of the eternal holy law was deleted from the Old Testament and New Testament alike. Why? A close study of the early Roman church will convince the most inquiring mind of the truth. Jerome relates that before the flood, Adam was under the humane holy law of love, as regards the natural diet. An "army" of Church fathers all testify to this same fact, and say that such a law was never compromised by God, but by evil man himself.

St. Basil, for example, (375 A.D.), adds his statement. "With sober living," he says, "well being increases in the household, animals are in safety, there is no shedding of blood, nor putting animals to death. The knife of the cook is needless, for the table is spread only with the fruits that Nature gives, and with them they are content."

We can continue to fill a hundred pages of testimony from these humane church fathers, but nothing tells it like the Gospel itself. This Gospel according to the Hebrews was in use amongst the first Christians of Jerusalem. It has been said that it was the Hebrew source from which the Gospel according to Matthew was derived. For this humane Gospel, also known as the Gospel of the Nazarenes, was widely circulated in the early church, and was held in high esteem by the Jewish Christians. The following texts were originally translated from Aramaic fragments discovered in a Buddhist monastery in the mountains of Tibet. It is reported that even St. Francis of Assisi knew and taught from this same Humane Gospel, building the Franciscan Order upon its high and lofty principles. We truly believe that when the complete library of the Dead Sea Scrolls is translated and released, the world will have the complete gospel of Jesus before them. Whether they wish to believe it or not is entirely up to them, for as Jesus himself said, though "I even raise the dead themselves, this generation believeth me not. And yet, they still ask unto me for a sign."

We believe, therefore, this Gospel to be the greatest of all Essene discoveries ever made. And we are happy to announce that we are now reconstructing the entire Gospel as compared to every possible recent find and discovery. We will announce later a date for the completed work, hopefully, in 1979.

The Edenite Society, Inc.

The following quotations are taken from "The Gospel of the Holy Twelve" as used by the pristine Christians. Known also as "The Gospel to the Hebrews" and "The Nazarene Gospel," it consists of the most complete and earliest writings of the true words of Jesus. We have selected certain texts that defend clearly the pure natural diet of man and the humane qualities that Jesus taught to his disciples as Holy Law. Such teachings are not foreign to Judaism, for we know from the examples of the Rechabites, the Nazarites, the Nazarenes, and the Essenes that physical puritanism of abstinence from flesh foods and intoxicants were earmarks of the true followers of the Holy Law.

It is also interesting to note that these sects, all under the same law of God, practiced exactly the same common interests as the earliest Christians, proving that God's law never changed among His elect righteous seed. For example, note these striking parallelisms between the pre-Christian Jews and the first Christian Jews. Both practiced: "seek ye first the kingdom of God;" sell your possessions and give to the poor; those of the combines; live communal lives and cultivate the earth for food; observe the true Sabbath. They despised riches and the greed that resulted from gaining or seeking riches, refused to offer animal sacrifices, refused to swear, eat flesh or drink strong drink. All shared in the common fund, where the aged, the ill, widows, orphans and all others were provided for (not like now, where you support the church and all monies go to the church officials to benefit commercial ventures.) They shared all they possessed, had true love among themselves, and cared for the creatures of God. They held fast to the true ungarbled holy law given to Adam and Enoch and passed down to Moses and the Prophets. Thus this "Gospel of the Holy Twelve" was the original and true writing of the Apostles as given to them in person by Christ himself, during and after his fleshly life on earth.

It has been noted that St. Basil established true Christian communities in the East, even as St. Benedict did in the West, and with them the Carthusians and Franciscans, and before them all the Carmelites, tracing their origin to Elias himself, the holy one of God. Thus it was the ancient community of the Jewish Church called Yessenes, or Essenes, Nazarites or Nazirs, and their brothers, the Egyptian Therapeutae (The Essene healers) not to mention the Buddhists (for Jesus did teach them in his early years, as the holy law was given unto all nations) that such holy orders got their start. They, like the faithful patriarchs of old and the prophets before them, practiced daily ablutions, daily worship with prayer periods, did not steal, lie or covet, and renounced the doctrine of atonement for the sins of some by the vicarious and involuntary suffering of others, as held by the Pharisees and Sadducees, and by the heathen before them. They refused also to go to war or make weapons, kept free from worldy politics, refused fleshly circumcision as a practice of demon-inspired rituals, did not hunt, fish, trap animals or use animal products in any way (excepting milk.)

All this adds up to the fact that God's holy law was in fact never altered or changed by Him as many religionists tell us, but that evil men themselves corrupted the law to suit their own greedy desires and lusts. Thus Jesus told his disciples only what the Holy Law meant and did not change or alter the perfect law, but did condemn the corrupted law that the nations placed before the people as a substitute counterfeit. Proof of this can still be found in many western religions, where we find some still clinging to remnants of the holy law, right down to the celibate view of single men and women and the procreation law dealing with marriage instituted for the honorable right to bring forth offspring only, and not as a license for barren sex relations, which is nothing more than outright fornication. One can realize why such holy laws were suppressed, for many prefer the lawlessness of sin as opposed to the virtues of the holy spirit. If you are truly interested in pure worship, the worship that will lead to eternal life, then by all means study the following texts carefully. Jesus summed up his stay on earth in these words, "Truth has many sides, even as a crystal has twelve reflections, but all come from the same light. Thus truth gets brighter with study and knowledge, but I give unto you the Holy Law; this is sufficient for you, that you may learn the first principles of life."

The Edenite Society hereby dedicates this humane gospel to all lovers of truth, to the men and the women of the world who are truly sighing and crying over the abominations befalling our earth and the innocent creatures of God. We further encourage such ones to actively join in our quest that all men and women unite in the one holy law of God, thereby giving worldwide testimony to the truth Jesus promised revealed in. the end time, thereby exposing the falsehoods that enslave mankind in cruelty and injustice. Do come forth and rejoice in the light of the law, regardless of race, creed, color or religion, no matter your walk of life, young or old, far away or near. And to the religions of the world, we pray that all will embrace this humane gospel and the beautiful message it contains. Share it within your congregations to the glory of the true God and His Christ.

Truly this is the "good news" that decent people want to hear and learn about.

The Publishers

Dear Reader:

Some 2000 years have passed since our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ came to earth to renew the original law code as given orally to Adam in Eden. (Levi 14-15, Dead Sea Scrolls.) This same law code was later given to Enoch engraved on heavenly tablets, and passed on later to Moses and the prophets. The Essenes preserved this same law code, taught it to Jesus, and prepared him as the Messiah, or Christ.

God never changed this law code; it was in effect long before man was created on earth. But men, working by and for God's great adversary the devil did cause much ruin to the contents and application of these holy laws; many have been altered and changed.

This is the sole reason for this booklet -- to help vindicate truth in its original form. Today, the 20th century faces a moral judgment from God because of the gross wickedness prevailing worldwide. The masses seem to enjoy the so-called freedoms that are ruining our earth, both spiritually and physically. Righteous people must live with these conditions, like it or not. Why, then, do these conditions prevail?

Simply because God's law code of truth is for the most part rejected and that is why religion in general has failed to bring truth and unity to mankind. How so? The Bible gives us the answer, for it speaks of those that for greedy and selfish reasons would withhold God's teachings from man, thus leading him astray from right moral conduct. This is why mankind is perverted in his ways.

Pristine Christianity was short-lived as practiced by the Essene Jews and Gentiles alike, for in order to enlarge the later church, most truths were compromised to appease pagans and pagan ideals. Thus what was upheld as sacred in the beginning, now became unholy and void. Pristine Christians were abstainers, they ate no flesh (for humane reasons first, health reasons second); they drank no strong drink; they were pacifists, they did not war or make weapons of any kind; they did not take part in political affairs; they hated riches and the lust or greed that was always part of gaining such wealth; they lived communal lives; they shared all they had with the poor of the neighboring cities. They were honest, law-loving, peace-loving people. They lived humane, good lives, working in harmony with nature, and not against it. They looked forward to only one hope and that was the time when God would restore the earth into a paradise with a special saintly king class ruling over it. Hence they accepted the same law code given to Adam, Enoch, Moses and Jesus, for it meant God's approval by following it. It meant everlasting life.

Things were not going to remain the same for the early Christians, for not long after Jesus' departure to heaven, men through Satan would alter forever (or so they thought), this peaceful, humane, perfect way of life. Only 100 years had gone by, and already the struggle for pure worship was on. The original Essene texts in Hebrew (the gospel) would now be Hellenized in Greek, thus paving the way for compromise of truths and the adding of many falsehoods.

About the year 125 A.D. a process had begun, that would later prove to be the foundation of the Holy Roman Empire state religion (the Catholic Church.) This universal church would eventually absorb every Christian sect and pagan cult in existence, thus embracing pagan doctrines for the sake of making mass converts quickly. This it proved to do, as history testifies.

Much was lost during the first century. Vegetarianism was still holding its own among the Hellenized Christians, but the humane life was quickly fading away under the pressure of pagan influence. Some 200 years more pass. We find many sects of Christianity; all except one are still holding to the vegetarian diet and for the most part, the humane life as well.

The year 325 A.D., however, brings sudden terror to the hearts of true Christians everywhere as Constantine the Great of the Holy Roman Empire declares total power and issues a decree forcing all Christian sects to be under control of his ONE STATE RELIGION. To refuse means certain death. Thus this decree threatens to end all forms of humane living standards among true VEGETARIAN CHRISTIANS. Christians will now have. to eat flesh, drink blood, go to war and kill their brothers, and be part of worldly affairs or suffer bitter persecution and death.

True Christians will now be forced to congregate underground -- thus the start of severe persecution for abstainers and defenders of the perfect law code. Nevertheless, vegetarian Christianity under various names did continue to flourish right up until the 20th century, but only in a small way.

What then happened to the already Hellenized gospel? In 325 A.D. Constantine ordered the complete editing of the Bible canon. Much was left out and much was changed to appease pagan converts. By this time there was no trace of the original Essene humane teachings of Christ left anywhere in the Bible. Vegetarianism was completely taken out, as well as the pacifistic way of life. The word humane or its meaning thereof among paganized Christians held no significance whatsoever!

It could be summed up this way: for the sake of large converts to the paganized church, all the truth of a humane Jesus was sacrificed; the Gospel was perverted; not as much as an echo was again heard of the "good life" that God Himself prescribed for mankind out of uncompromised love and concern for ALL of His creation.

The following centuries would bring untold millions to their deaths in the religious wars that would follow. First the bloody Crusades, then the Reformation would indeed prove that Jesus' humane teachings were surely abandoned, as well as the perfect law code. The struggle over religious freedom and dominance and the right to the Bible has claimed more lives than both world wars!

This is recorded history, not an attack on any one religion. These are facts of life that fill history books in public libraries everywhere. Read for yourself firsthand and be shocked at what Christians were commanded to do in the name of God -- only because the original humane gospel was changed to appease pagans!

Today, our Bible versions are based mainly on the translation of the Catholic texts. Much is missing; much is garbled. It is a far cry from the complete Essene Bible texts of the first through third centuries. However, all is not in vain. God, always far ahead of Satan's attempts to rule or ruin our earth, allowed for the Dead Sea Scrolls to be discovered. This was an answer to true Christian prayer everywhere, for now we can go back to the pure laws of God with their humane teachings once again.

Some 1500 books and reports have been released on these finds since their discovery. More than enough has been released to support a humane Christ. They contain the pristine message as handed down by the actual Apostles themselves. Many Bible scholars, working long years, have given us conclusive proof of the following. While much is being held back in order not to shock the so-called civilized world of religion, these facts are certain:

THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS CONCLUSIVELY PROVE THAT:

1. The Essenes were themselves pristine Christians, with Jesus and John the Baptist being schooled by the Essenes at their monastery at Qumran.

2. * The Essene writings themselves are in fact the very gospel of the apostles, first recorded in Hebrew.

3. The Essenes were the faithful remnant of Israel that upheld the law given to Enoch, Moses and the prophets, becoming the first to accept Jesus as the Christ, and making up Church of Alexandria and then Jerusalem.

4. The Essenes knew that the law of Enoch and Moses was garbled by the priests and scribes; thus the Old Testament of today is interpolated. It was rejected even before Jesus' day by the Essenes and by Jesus himself.

5. The Essene writings prove that much is missing from our present Bible canon, especially the humane teachings that support non-violent life and reverence for life.

6. The Essenes did live by the Enochian writings and upheld the laws engraved on the heavenly tablets.

7. The Essene texts of Enoch show that Satan misleads mankind through the three most deadly sins: 1. Gluttony (wrong appetite of flesh diet and strong drink.) 2. Greed (the basis for every and all sin.) 3. Sex desire (perversion and mis-use.)

8. The Essenes were of two classes: The saintly king class was made up of strictly celibate males only -- this was to be the heavenly kingdom class that would rule with Christ as associate kings. A lesser class was made up highly-disciplined married and single doers and believers of the Essene Creed and Bible texts. This class looked to the time when the earth would again be a paradise under such a kingdom of saints.

We hope you enjoy the following pages of this most informative report on the humane Jesus, the vegetarian Christ. We invite questions and comment. We invite you also to support our educational work in the Dead Sea Scrolls, that will indeed vindicate God and His original humane teachings -- held out for all those who do appreciate reverence for all life.

Frank J. Muccie, Jr.

It is recorded in the homilies of St. Chrysostom that Jesus told his disciples if they wanted to learn the mysteries of God, they would first have to be of humane character. He said to them: "For if ye are disposed to be humane, ye will learn of the unspeakable mysteries....Be ye therefore humane, that ye may hear these things."

Here St. Chrysostom implies that those who are prepared to receive Christ and His holy law will be entertained by Christ's words, "Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you before the foundation of the world."

The word humane describes man at his very human best, man who not only knows God's laws, but lives by them daily, for humaneness is a virtue that results from the understanding of the 14 spiritual fruits of the holy spirit. (See the Holy Law Code.) It can be said that the present Bible translations of our day discredit greatly the humane quality of Jesus, his teachings being tampered with by Bible editors of the third and fourth centuries.

Only the Essene writings contain the complete story of the most kind and generous of all men, a man that by his moral strength of holy character puts all other men to shame, especially the religious frauds of today who preach in his holy name. Yes, so-called men of God who eat animal flesh, hunt, fish, trap animals, indulge in hard drink, lead sordid sex lives, participate in politics, support warfare and weapons and have an absolute lack of interest in the human affairs of their fellow man, not to mention the innocent creatures of God. There are very few men who can call themselves men of God who can even come close to the standard of humaneness Christ set for his true disciples. Jesus warned of such men who would mislead the sheep of his fold for dishonest gain and riches, men interested in fame only and not in the truth of the Godhead. Little do such men realize their fate when Christ tells them: "Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness, I know you not!"

The following Gospel can help many back to the narrow road of life. All are invited -- there is still time to make the right change for the better and follow God's law for life. There is no substitute for truth; the Essenes proved this long ago as they accepted the Christ while others did not. They proved to be the very fountainhead of pristine Christianity, and because of them we have this humane gospel today to read and study. John the Baptist was without the

slightest doubt an Essene prophet raised up by God to announce and make ready for the coming of Christ on earth. He was a forerunner of the kingdom's promised heir and Messiah. Thus he was spiritually and physically prepared to identify with and relate to prophecies concerning him.

The Essene brotherhood, established long before Jesus' birth, was in all readiness to provide whatever Jesus would need in the way of shelter, food and right education under their lofty standards set into motion for and by God's holy law. If it were not for the Essenes we would have no gospel whatsoever today, for they were responsible for its original writing and careful preservation. Copies of the gospel in fragment form are and have been discovered in many lands. And slowly but surely, we will one day soon have most of Jesus' writings. St. John told us this when he said: "The writings of Jesus would indeed fill many books, which the world could not contain."

It was in the days of Herod, King of Judea that a priest known as Zacharias....And his wife Elizabeth were found by God to be righteous and pure....Thus keeping the Holy Law and its commandments to the letter. But they had no children, Elizabeth being barren and both well into the years of life....Zacharias' duty was to burn incense in the temple of the True God....And it was at this time that an angel of the Lord appeared unto him saying: "Have no fear, Zacharias, for thy prayer has been heard and answered, for surely thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, even John, shalt thou call his name. And thou shalt have much gladness and rejoicing; for many shall welcome his birth; for John shall be great in the eyes of the Lord, and he shall eat no animal flesh, nor drink strong drink at any time; he being filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his very beginning, from his mother's womb. And for a certainty, many of the children of Israel shall he turn back to the True God of Love; for he shall be sent by HIM in the same spirit and power of Elias....To make ready a holy people prepared for the Lord." ... And Zacharias said unto the archangel Gabriel...."I am an old man, and my wife is old also, tell me, how is this to take place?" And Gabriel, one of the seven glories of the True God Eternal, spake unto Zacharias, informing

him of his son to come. And it came to pass, after a time, that Elizabeth conceived....Even a son as the angel foretold to be named John . ...Now John in his coming manhood would be educated in the Holy Law of God, he being the promised forerunner and announcer of the holy Christ.

And it was in the sixth month that the holy Gabriel was again sent by God unto a certain place of Galilee to a virgin named Mary, espoused to a man of the royal line of David, whose name was Joseph. Now Joseph was holy and pure minded, skilled in the trade of woodworking and stone masonry. And Mary was gentle and kind, with a discerning mind and humble spirit before the Lord. Both were pronounced good and holy before God; and of them was Jesus (Jesu-Maria), who is called later the Christ or Messiah.

Thus Gabriel came unto Mary and said, "Behold, Mary, thou art highly favored of God, for the Motherhood of God is surely with thee; blessed art thou among women, for blessed will be the fruit of thy womb." And when Mary beheld the glorious angel of God, she was confused at his saying, and wondered what manner of salutation this should mean for her. But Gabriel understanding her mind, spake unto her saying, "Fear not, Mary, and be not troubled with your thinking, for thou hast found favour with God. For behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a holy child of the Most High, and He shall be great and shall be called a Son of the Highest Order. For a certainty the All-Eternal One shall give unto Him alone the very throne of his father David. And he shall rule over all the house of Jacob forever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end, but it shall reign in peace eternal."

And Gabriel spake further unto her, "The Holy Spirit, even the Mother of Wisdom shall come upon Joseph, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, O Mary, therefore also is that holy, which shall be born of thee, even Christ, the Child of God, and his name on earth shall be called Jesu-Maria (Jesus), for it is he that shall save the people from bondage to sin, even all those repenting and obeying His Holy Laws.

"Therefore, O Mary, ye shall eat no animal flesh, nor drink strong drink, for the holy child shall be consecrated unto the All-Eternal from its mother's womb, and neither animal flesh nor strong drink shall he eat or drink in any form, nor shall ever a razor touch his head." And the angel Gabriel spake further: "And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her womb, even of

old age will she bring forth, this being the sixth month with her, she who was called barren. For, I say unto you, with God no thing shall ever be impossible." At that, Mary said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it unto me according to thy holy words."

And in the same day, the angel Gabriel appeared unto Joseph while he was asleep, and said unto him: "Hail, Joseph, thou art highly favored by God, for the Fatherhood of God is with thee this day. Blessed art thou among men and blessed be the fruit of thy loins." Joseph, his mind confused, wondered at these words, but Gabriel said unto him: "Fear not, Joseph, thou son of David....For thou shalt beget a child, and thou shalt call his name Jesu-Maria, for he alone shall save his people from bondage to sin."

Now for a certainty all this was said and done that it might be fulfilled which was written in the prophets saying, "Behold a Maiden shall conceive and be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel, which means 'With us is God's Son."' Thus Joseph being raised from his sleep, did as Gabriel had told him, and went in unto Mary, his espoused bride, and she conceived in her womb the holy one of God.

Later, at the home of Elizabeth....Mary said unto God, "My soul doth rejoice greatly in God's Son, my Saviour. For thou hast regarded the humility of thy handmaiden; and, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For Thou that art mighty and powerful hast indeed done to me great things; for Holy is Thy Name and purpose, and Thy mercy is on them that respect Thee from generation to generation, even to eternity....Thou hast exalted the humble and the meek ,...And hast remembered Abraham and thy seed forever." And Mary lived on with Elizabeth for three months and then returned to her own home.

And Joseph spake these words: "Blessed be the True God of our fathers and our mothers in Israel, for in the acceptable time Thou hast surely heard my voice and in the day of salvation hast Thou always helped me. For did not Thou saith, I will preserve thy holy seed and make with thee a covenant of the people to renew the face of the earth and return every thing back to its root; and to cause the desolate places to be rescued from the very hands of those doing the spoiling. For Thou hast promised to restore Eden over the face

of the earth and give peace and joy unto all the creatures. That Thou mayest say to the captives, Go ye forth and be set free, even as ye were born free; and to them that live in darkness, because of fear, Thou sayest, Show yourselves in the light of day, and be ye not afraid any more; for they, one and all, shall again feed in the ways of pleasantness only. For Thy people at that time, shall no more hunt nor worry the creatures with fear of hungerness, for all shall be fed and satisfied, which I have made to rejoice before my eyes. Nay, nor shall any hunger or thirst any more; neither shall the heat of day smite them nor the cold of night destroy them, and none shall be weary or restless, for all shall be at peace with one another, under the Father-Mother God of Eternity....Therefore, Sing ye, Holy Angels in the heavens, and rejoice, thou earthly man; O ye deserts break forth with righteous song: for truly Thou, O God, dost comfort Thy people and all Thy creatures, and surely consoles them that have suffered wrong...."

Now, it came to pass, that Elizabeth's full time came....And she brought forth a son....And all rejoiced with her....And on the eighth day the child was consecrated according to the Holy Law....And a wondrous thing took place....for the child asked for a writing table and did write his own name, John....And they all marvelled, for his mouth was opened by the Lord, and he spake and praised God....And all they that heard about John were amazed and exclaimed: "What manner of child shall this be! Surely the hand of the Eternal One is upon him!" And the child's father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying, "Blessed be thou, O True God of Israel; for Thou hast surely visited and reclaimed Thy people. For Thou hast raised up Thy horn of salvation for us in the midst of David's household. Even as Thou spakest by the mouth of Thy holy prophets, which have been with us since the world's beginning, even Adam Thy first prophet, and now my son John, which Thou hast given us. In that we should be saved from our enemies ...In order to perform the mercy promised to our ancestors, always thoughtful of Thy holy covenant of old....And because of all these things, O Lord, this child shall be called the Prophet of the Highest, the Prophet of the Eternal All; for he shall truly go before Thy face, O God, to prepare Thy ways for the people; to grant knowledge of salvation unto all nations by the remission of their sins. For it is through the tender mercy and justice of our God, even Thee our eternal Father whereby the very waters of truth from above hath visited us this day,

to give true light to them that sit in darkness and in the very shadow of death itself; and to guide our feet as a lamp before us into the ways of peace and mercy."

And the child John grew and became strong in spirit and truth of the Holy Law, but his mission was hidden until the day of his appointed time to appear unto Israel. For it was this John that would one day baptize Jesus and witness to the Christ in the form of a dove descending upon him, thus proclaiming Jesus' identity to the world.

And Joseph and Mary went into Bethlehem, the city of David....And Mary, heavy with child ...brought forth her firstborn babe in a cave, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger within the cave, for there was no room to be found for them in the town. And behold, the cave was filled with bright light as of the sun, and it reflected the glory of many holy angels.

And there proved to be in the cave also, an ox, and a horse, and an ass, and a sheep, and beneath the manger was a cat with her little ones, and there were doves also overhead, and each had its mate after its kind, the male with the female. Thus it came to pass that Jesus was born in the midst of the animals which, through the redemption of man from ignorance and sin, he came to redeem from their sufferings, by the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God, all those whosoever liveth according to the Holy Law....

And in the fields, shepherds were keeping watch over their flocks by night, and lo, the angel of God came upon them, and the glory of the Highest shone round about them, and they were much afraid. But the angel said unto them, "Fear not, kind shepherds, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy and peace....for unto you is born this day in Bethlehem, the city of David, a Saviour, which is Jesu-Maria, the coming Christ and Holy One of God." And suddenly, there was heard great singing and rejoicing, yea even a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory be to God in the heights of the highest heaven, and on earth below, the seven-fold peace toward all men and women of good will." The Shepherds now said, "Let us go even unto David's city, and see the holiness which is come to pass, which our God hath made known unto us this hour." And they journeyed with haste, and found Mary and Joseph in the cave close to Bethlehem, and the Holy Child

lying in a manger with many animals about ...And when the child Jesus came to be eight days old, he was consecrated to the Lord according to the Holy Law, and named Jesu-Maria (Jesus) even as was spoken by the angel Gabriel before he was conceived in Mary's womb....And it came to pass that certain wise men heard of this Jesus being born in the cave, near Bethlehem of Judea. Being from far away, these wise men of the East had purified themselves and tasted not of flesh food nor of strong drink in order to find the Christ whom they sought....for they had seen his star in the heavens and the sign of his presence and had come to worship and honor him as the Holy Child of God, even as it was written beforehand by the holy prophets that gifts would be given unto him at his birth, and that out of Judah shall come forth a Teacher of Righteousness, who should renew the Holy Law unto all the nations of the earth.

And when the wise men saw the babe with Mary his mother, they fell upon their knees, and did obeisance unto him. And when they had opened their treasure chest, they presented unto the Holy Child gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, even as Adam was given such things from Eden, after he took residence in the cave of treasures....And after a time, the wise men being warned of God in a vision that they should not return to Herod, to report the whereabouts of the babe (for Herod sought after the babe to slay him), they departed into their own country with Herod not ever knowing again of them.

Later, behold, an angel of God appeared unto Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, and take the young child and the mother, and flee quickly into Egypt; and there remain safely until I bid thee to return, for wicked Herod seeks to destroy Jesus."...And by night they departed into Egypt unto the safety of the holy brotherhood. With them, their brothers and sisters of the Holy Way, remained for seven years, until word came that Herod was dead. Thus was the prophecy fulfilled, which was spoken of God, saying, "Out of Egypt have I called my Son."...

Elizabeth also, when she heard of Herod's insane plan, took her infant son John up into the mountains and hid him....And when Zacharias would not reveal the whereabouts of John or Jesus, they slew him in the Temple, between the holy place and the altar....Then when Herod saw that he was fooled by the wise men who returneth not unto him, his anger was exceedingly great, and he sent forth a decree, whereby all the children in Bethlehem and in every

nearby coastal town were slain with the sword, from two years old and under did he slay them....Then came to pass the words spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, "In Rama was there a voice heard, much lamentation, and loud weeping, for the mourning was great, Rachel weeping for her children, but would not be comforted, because they are slain."

But when Herod was dead, and all was safe in Israel, behold, an angel of God appeared unto Joseph in Egypt, saying: "Arise in safety, and return your household into the land of Israel, for the wicked are dead which sought after the young child's life." And Joseph arose, and with Mary and Jesus they came into the land of Israel, leaving behind them the brothers and sisters in Egypt, of the Holy Way. And they did dwell in a territory later known as Nazareth, even as Jesus was called the Nazarene.

Now it came to pass, that Joseph and Mary went up to Jerusalem every year to honor the feast of the Unfermented Cakes and Pure Oblation, and they observed the feast after the same manner of their true brethren, who abstained from bloodshed and the eating of flesh and from strong drink.

And on one occasion, when Jesus was 12 years old, he went also to Jerusalem with his parents after the custom of the holy feast. When they had fulfilled the required days of the feast, Jesus tarried behind, but his parents knew not of it....And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of many learned men, both hearing them speak, and asking them questions. And all there that heard Jesus speak, were truly astonished at his understanding and wisdom....And when Mary and Joseph at last confronted him, Jesus replied: "How is it that ye sought after me and could not find -- did ye not know that I must be in my Parent's House?" But they understood not the saying which Jesus spake unto them.

It was at that time, that a certain prophet seeing Jesus, said unto him, "Behold the Love and the Wisdom of God are one in Thee, therefore in the age to come shalt thou be called Jesu-Maria, for by the anointed Christ shall God save mankind, which now is bitter as the salty sea -- it shall be turned into sweetness. But to this generation the Bride shall not be made ready, for it is yet to the age to come....

And on a certain day the child Jesus came to a place where a trap was set for the capture of birds, and there were boys there awaiting their capture. And Jesus seeing them, said unto them: "Who hath set this snare for the innocent creatures of God? Behold in a like manner shall they be caught without mercy or thoughtfulness. Lo, these God's gifts to man. And Jesus beheld 12 sparrows, as it were dead, and he moved his hands over them, and said to them, "Go, fly away in freedom, and while ye live remember me." And the on-looking Jews, seeing this, were astonished, and went off and told it unto the priests.

And many wonders were beheld wherever the child journeyed, and flowers were seen to spring up beneath his very feet, from barren rocky soil of old. And those that looked on stood in awe of him, and were amazed, for never were such wonders seen. For it was as if God Himself were walking upon the earth and all of nature sought after him, so as to worship his very presence. And all the holy creations were moved and impressed by his glory and understanding....for all living things seemed to sense him as something holy and sacred. Yea, even wild animals were subdued at the mere sight of him or the sound of his voice, for no thing trembled nor was afraid of him. Even the most timid of creatures approached him without fear or hesitation, seeking the peace he alone seemed to offer and contain....

And it came to pass after many wondrous events in the course of years, that Jesus had reached his 18th year of age and was espoused unto Miriam, a virgin of the tribe of Judah, and they lived according to the holy laws of a pure marriage, with all chastity, thus proving themselves undefiled and purified from all sin for seven years before the Eternal Father. But it was at this time that Miriam did see a fleshly death, for God took her, that Jesus might fulfill all things, even that which was spoken of him from the prophets.

For Jesus came unto the world that all things might return to their root. He came to release man from bondage to death and to set every creature free before God. Thus Jesus would suffer a fleshly death for the sons and daughters of man, for upholding the purest motive of love. Fallen man had abused the Love of God, and forsook His holy law for the commands and false doctrines of men and devils. Great was the coming mission of the Christ, and few understand the

wisdom of it. Jesus was the perfect example of humane love on earth; as a man he would excel in all things before God, as the spiritual Christ. Jesus knew and understood the wisdom of the Law and it was written of him: "he came to re-new the holy law and teach its true meaning among men and angels."

And it came to pass that Jesus returned into Egypt to the holy brotherhood, and was further instructed in truth and wisdom, even as Moses was before him. And there did Jesus meditate and fast in the desert sanctuary, praying and obtaining the miraculous power of the Holy Name, by which NAME he worked many wonders and taught much wisdom of holy things....And for seven years Jesus, in the fleshly body of man, conversed with God the Eternal All, as if face to face, for while in the spirit Jesus did know of all that is holy and pure, but now in the flesh, did he experience all natures, and the beauty of life and of the living creatures of God.

And Jesus experienced the language of birds and of beasts and even the fishes of the sea, and the healing powers of trees, and of herbs and grass, and of flowers, and also the purifying power of water and the hidden secrets of precious stones in relation to all the creations of the earth. Small things even unto great things did Jesus come to know and understand in a great way. Thus in Jesus the man, were all things revealed by God, even as all things were revealed unto him before he came. For there remained no thing hidden unto him, whether it be times and seasons of the sun and the moon and the stars in their appointed times and places or the powers of the sacred letters and mysteries of the square and the circle and the transmutation of things, and of forms, and of numbers and of signs.

Yea, Jesus did understand every law of nature both visible and invisible to man, even the very secrets of the aeons did he discern and know. So it was that there remained nothing hidden to his mind, for all the natural decrees of God were manifested in him and through him, making the silent to be heard and the darkness, light. For all the light of the holy law was in him, he being in God's rest from the very beginning of time, even unto his birth as a holy child unto the Christ. And Jesus was perfect, he being the Law made flesh upon earth, to bear testimony to truth from above, that many would know of the Father's love and gentleness and true nature.

And in time, Jesus ended his stay with his brothers and sisters of the holy way in Egypt and returned to Nazareth to visit his parents, and while there he was approved as Rabbi in Jerusalem, instructing many in the holy things of God, even in the temple, without interference.

And it came to pass, that Jesus went into many nations to teach the holy law of God, into Assyria and India and into Persia and into the land of the Chaldeans. And Jesus did travel into many different nations and spake unto many peoples of the holy way of life, and he did visit their temples and spake unto their priests -- yea, instructing and reproving even their wise men for many years, according to the wisdom of the True God. And Jesus was loved there among the people, and worked many wonders, and healed the sick and aided the weak and the ignorant, for Jesus felt a great pity for the people, even as he was witness to their lawlessness and poverty and slavery and inhumanity. And it was for these reasons he experienced the tender mercy of a perfect human being, realizing the people's bondage to lawless morality and death. The Holy law proved to be within Jesus, and he told unto them the great love and compassion of the True God, even that God is not partial to His creation, but is good to all and giveth them His Holy Law as light unto their feet in a world of gross darkness. For the true tribe of Israel is any man that keeps the holy law, even as the law was given unto all men under the sun.

And so did the people of the nations hearken unto his words and wanted much for Jesus to live among them always teaching the holy way of spiritual and physical health reform. But Jesus stayed not, but traveled into many nations, making disciples everywhere he taught.

And Jesus proved to be the humane son of Holy Parents in that all the beasts of the field showed respect unto him, and all the birds of the heaven took no fear in him, and even the fishes of the sea rejoiceth at the presence of him. None were in 'fear of him, yea, the great wild beasts of the desert did indeed perceive the authority of God within him, and did him much service, bearing him from place to place with much gladness and readiness. For a certainty the Spirit of the Divine Holy Law was within him, as he was in the Great Rest of the Father. Being filled with the fruitage of the Holy Spirit, also filled all things around him and made all things subject unto him.

For thus shall yet be fulfilled through him the words of the prophet: "The lion shall lie down with the calf, and the leopard with the kid, and the wolf with the lamb, and the bear with the ass, and the owl with the dove, And a child of God shall lead them. And it shall come to pass, that none shall hurt or destroy in my holy mountain, for my earth, my sanctuary, shall be full of the knowledge of the HOLY ONE, even as the waters cover the bed of the sea. And it shall come to pass, in that day that I will make again and renew a covenant with the beasts of the earth, and the fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea, and with all created things. For all shall know me, and I will break the bow and the arrow of the hunter, and the sword of the slaughterer, and all the instruments of bloodshed will I banish from the earth, even forever. And I will surely make all of them, my creatures, to lie down in safety and in peace, and to live without fear or outcry; for neither shall they hunger nor thirst any more, but be fed and cherished. For even as the sun does rise and set each new day, so shall it be in the land blessed by God, wherein all dwell securely. And I will take unto myself all those elect and deliver unto them eternal righteousness, and in lasting peace and in loving kindness, they will know thy True God, and all His Love and Glory. And the earth shall bring forth in abundance the good corn and the fresh juice of the grape and the oil of every seed, and at that time I will certainly say unto them, which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say unto Me, Thou art our God alone. For in that day the whole of the earth shall be taught the knowledge of the Holy Law, and the Love of God shall fill the hearts of many, as they rejoice in the fruits of their labor. Thus shall my words stand and come to pass, and all those putting their faith in my words shall never come to disappointment, but be satisfied. Let all who have ears, hear, and all who have eyes, behold, for the day draws near when such things shall surely come to pass....

And Jesus continued in his mercies toward the people, and many were amazed and astonished at his words and works of charity, for wherever Jesus journeyed and what ever thing he did, all goodness and much beauty resulted, for the Spirit of the Eternal All rested upon him, even as myriads of angels ministered unto him.

And on a certain day, as Jesus was passing by a high mountain

range nigh unto the desert, He came upon a lion, pursued by many hunters, seeking to slay him with stones and javelins. Seeing this, Jesus rebuked them, saying, Why hunt ye these beautiful creatures of God, which are more noble than the most of mankind? For a certainty by the cruelties of many generations, these poor beasts were made the enemies of man. For had man been the caretaker and keeper of these poor beasts, even as he was thus appointed by God as such in the beginning, he would hunt not.

For I tell ye this day, if the power of God is shown in these creatures, so also is magnified His long-suffering and compassion. Cease, forever, ye, to persecute these good creatures who desireth not to harm you; for see ye not how he fleeth from you, and is terrified by thy weapons and violence? Know ye not that the hunters shall become the hunted in this world? Even as every man shall sow, so shall he reap, even all just rewards and punishments. And at that moment, the lion came down from the mountain's edge and did lay at the feet of Jesus, and did show love unto him. For the animal sensed the seven-fold peace of Jesus, and feared him not. And the hunters were astonished at this and exclaimed, "Lo, this man surely loveth all creatures and hath the power to subdue and command even the greatest of all beasts of the desert in that they obey his words! Never have we witnessed such as this before!" And the hunters left off from pursuing the lion and marvelled at the words of Jesus in wonderment, as to who this man was....

And it soon came to pass that the time had arrived for Jesus' cousin, John, to make ready a holy people for Jesus' name. For the Holy Word of God came unto John in the wilderness brotherhood of the elect, and John set out to complete the special calling, even preaching the baptism of repentance from the remission of sins. For it was written in the prophets concerning him: "Prepare ye the holy way of the Chosen One, make straight the pathway of the Anointed. For every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth. For all flesh shall see the salvation of God at work among the people and every eye shall behold the glory of his way."

And the same John, known as the Baptist, appeared in simple dress and humility, and his food was the fruit of the locust tree and wild honey, even as the Angel Gabriel had spoken of....And John spake unto the multitude, all those seeking baptism, and said: "O generation of disobedient ones, heed ye my words....Begin this day to bring fruits worthy of repentance, righteous works that save....For I tell thee, every tree which bringeth not good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire, and so shall it be with thee if ye not keep the Holy Law and live it."...And some wealthier people spoke out and asked John, "What shall we do, then? How are we to be saved?" And John answered and said unto them, "He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath abundant food, let him do as the first. And he that hath riches, let him give his gold to the brotherhood where all shareth in love and care of the poor, the orphans, the widows, those of long years, those with illness, yea, give unto the general fund wherein all those of the Lord resideth in true peace and love."

Also, there came unto him certain tax collectors to be baptized, and asked of him, "Master, what shall we do?" And John said unto them, "Exact no more than that which is due you, and be ever merciful as to thy authority."

And then came soldiers unto John, and asked, "And what shall we do, tell us, please." And John said unto them, "Do violence to no man, nor any creature, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with thy wages, which prove enough, accepting no bribe or favor."

And John spake unto them all, saying: "Listen and hear well, all you who have ears. Keep yourselves from bloodshed, and all manner of blood, from anything strangled, and from dead bodies of birds and beasts, and fish eat ye not. And from all deeds of cruelty, and from all that is gotten of wrong, yea, contrary to natural laws of good and humane love. For, do ye think the blood of beasts and birds will wash sin? I tell ye, Nay, therefore ye must all speak the truth, and be just. Ye must be merciful to one another and to all creatures that live, thereby walking humbly with thy God, Who loveth the Pure Oblation only."

And the people were in strictest attendance of John's words, and many wondered in their hearts, whether he be the Christ; and still others asked unto him if he were. But John answered, saying unto them all, "I indeed baptize you with water; but the Holy One,

mightier than I, yet cometh, the latchet of whose very shoes I am not worthy to unloose. For He shall also baptize you with water and with fire, for a fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the true wheat into his storehouse; but the chaff he will burn with destructive fire. For his fan airs the judgment of the wicked, who will be as if they were never born at all; but they of righteous heart, will inherit the fountain of living waters, wherein eternal springs of truth impart life everlasting."

And John, known as the Baptist, continued in many exhortations, and many people did listen and longed to hear more and know of the One greater than he, the Holy One to come in the name of the Holy Law of God. Thus John prepared the way, even as Jesus' forerunner of holy truths. And the Pharisees and the Sadducees got to hear of this message and were greatly angered with him, for they were not looking unto the Christ, as John was announcing in all of Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about the Jordan River, even as he was baptizing all those confessing their sins. Yea, John did baptize many in the River Jordan.

And it came to pass, that the time was right for Jesus to come unto John, and it was in the midst of the summer, in the tenth month that Jesus from Galilee came unto John, to be baptized of him. But John hesitated, saying, "I surely have need to be baptized of thee -- why comest thou to me?"

And Jesus answering, said unto him: "Permit it to be so now, John, for thus it becometh us both to fulfil all that is righteous before the Holy Father-Mother, in Heaven."

Then John listened and did as Jesus had spoken. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went directly out of the water, and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and from the cloud, twelve Rays of Light appeared, and there in the form of a Dove, the Holy Christ descended with brilliant lighting upon him. And lo, a voice from heaven was heard, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; this day have I begotten thee. Listen to him and obey his Holy Law."... And John bore testimony of him, saying, "This is he of whom I spake. He that cometh after me is preferred before me, for he was before me. And of his fulness, have we all received, even grace for grace, for grace and truth are the Holy Law whereby Jesus

Christ is the fulness thereof."... And John continued, saying: "I baptize with water; but there standeth One among you, whom ye know not, He shall baptize with water and with fire, for in him are the life and the judgment of the Holy Law....And all these things took place in Bethabara, beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

And it was at this time that Jesus did begin his ministry in Israel, he being after the flesh, and indeed the holy son of Mary and Joseph; but also after the Spirit of the Holy Christ, the Son of God, the Father and Mother Eternal....

Being anointed thus with the Holy Spirit and commissioned by the Eternal All as grand prophet and interpreter of the Holy Law, Jesus Christ would now with full authority from above reveal unto earthly man his mission of mercy. Fulfilling many prophecies of old, the Christ would keep his promise to Adam made some 5500 years previously, that he come to earth like a God and redeem Adam and all his righteous seed, from the bondage of death. Thus would the Son of Man deliver from death to eternal life all those worthy of the calling. Yea, even the tests and trials of Adam would the Christ experience and suffer, ever proving the superiority of the Holy Law over the falsehoods of Satan, for Jesus Christ would restore all things to their root. For Adam was cheated by Satan and brought into a world of bondage to evil, but Jesus would give back what Adam had due, thus restoring him to his true identity and revealing unto the world the ignorance of Satan who claimed he was God alone, and beside him there remained no other God. For Satan said unto Adam and Eve, "I am a jealous God, and ye must have no other Gods before my face. For I curse the hundredth generation, who worship me not, but bless all who hear my laws and hearken unto them; for I am God, I the only God over all."

Thus Jesus came unto the earth to expose the lies of the devil and tell unto the sons of man the truth of their origin and root. Yea, even unto many angels that seeketh repentance, but remained in bondage to Satan against their will, did Jesus come to release and shew unto them the Holy Way again. Great was the mission of the Holy Christ, but few were the people who knew of it, or understood its way. For only to the Elect of God did Jesus reveal such mysteries and teach to them the unknown wisdom of the Eternal All.

Thus preparing himself further for the mission set before him, Jesus retreated into the wilderness to contemplate his role of the promised Redeemer and Saviour of the righteous seed of man. For there was strength in the wilderness which possessed every nature of God, and Jesus looked unto the holy creations of his Father and did receive enlightenment and spirit.

And Jesus, while there in the desert, was tempted by Satan. And the wild animals of the desert were everywhere about him, but all became subject unto him, for all sensed him the Holy Christ of the True God. And there among the wild beasts, his only companions, Jesus fasted and prayed unto his Heavenly Father. And it came to pass that afterwards he was hungry and exhausted, and it was at this time and place that the tempter came unto him and said, "If thou be the true Son of God, command that these stones be made bread, so that thou may eat and be filled, for is it not written concerning thee, that thou will feed on the finest of wheat and honey, and out of the rock with pure waters ye shall be satisfied?"

But Jesus answered the tempter and said: "Yea, but it is also written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every law that proceedeth out of the mouth the True God, even The Eternal All." And the devil was silent for a time and said not a word unto Jesus. But later he appeared again unto Jesus with a woman of overwhelming beauty and comeliness ...and said unto him, "Do take her as thine own, for her desire is upon thee, and thou shalt have love and happiness and much joy all thy life, and even see thy children's children, for yea, is it not written, 'It is not good for man that he should be alone."'

And Jesus, with voice raised, said unto the devil, "Get thee behind me Satan, for it is also written, Be not led away by the mere beauty of a woman, for all flesh is as grass and the flower of the field; the grass withereth and the flower fadeth away, but the Law of the Eternal One endureth forever. For I tell you what you already know of me, that I come to heal the spiritual ills of man, for he that is truly born of God, keepeth the seed within, for he knoweth the good from the evil and the light from the darkness. I restoreth all things to their original root, that all things may know that the True God is above the evil of the world, for by thy ignorance, mankind suffereth much and the entire creation sighs and cries and awaits

freedom from bondage, yea even from the slavery of sin that ye have imprisoned them."

And again Satan was silent for a time, but re-appeared the third time saying: "Come, let us go up into the holy city, where I shall set you on the very pinnacle of the Temple, for surely here in thy God's House, if thou be the Son of God and cast thyself downward, all that is written will take place; for it says: 'He shall give his holy angels charge concerning thee; and in their hand they shall bear thee up lest at any time thou dash they foot against a stone."'

And once again Jesus said unto Satan: "It is also written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God nor put His Holy Law to the test. For ye well know the All Power of the Father and yea, the Holiness of His Laws, but because ye imagined the impossible dream, ye so set up a kingdom over the Most High, and ye fooled many angels and most of mankind. Thus ye also realize, thy time is limited; for thy evil and wrongdoing shall bring unto ye, thy seed, but also my seed unto God. Do what ye must do, Satan, and do quickly, for thy judgment is at hand, and ye shall no way escape thy punishment which thou hast prepared for thyself and all those who love your lie."

And again Satan remained silent and went away angry, but after a time, did return for the fourth time and offered Jesus all the power and glory of his world, for yea, the power and authority was his to grant to any he chose. And he said unto Jesus, "Come hither, for I have much to show unto you, and much to grant." And he took Jesus up into an exceedingly high mountain range, wherein all the earth and its valleys could be seen in the vast distance. And it was upon this mountain, that Satan viewed 12 cities and their peoples, yea the kingdoms of the world and every material desire in them, all in a moment of time. And boasting in his great power, the Arch prince of evil said unto Jesus, "All this power and all this authority, yea and all the glory therein as found in my world as you see yet to come, I will give unto thee freely, for ye well know that all ye see is delivered unto me for a time, and lo, to whosoever I will, I give it freely. For is it not written, 'Thou shalt have dominion from sea to sea, so thou shalt judge thy people with righteousness and the poor with mercy, and make a full end of oppression.' If thou therefore wilt worship me, Jesus, all shall be thine.'

And Jesus looked at Satan, the father of every lie and false god of every evil and lust, and said: "Again I say unto you, ignorant one, ye know scripture well, even as ye hath written much and cor-

rupted the sacred truths. But hide not behind thy twisted interpretation of holy things, for thou art in darkness and seeth not the light as holy men see and know. Because of thy deviation, the Holy Law fleeth from thee, for what is holy and pure hath no fellowship with evil and sin. For there is no light in darkness and no truth in a lie, and ye hath taught the lie as truth and saith unto thy angels, thou alone art God, and there is no one else, but Holy Wisdom spake unto you and said, You lie, Satanail, for the Eternal All is above the Rest. For thou knowest it is written, 'Thou shalt worship the Eternal All and Him alone shalt thou serve in all purity of heart.' For ye knoweth well, ye have the authority over this world for a time, but the age cometh when all things shall enter into the Rest, and thy power and authority shall cease, yea even as every evil work shall cease and be no more. For in the beginning ye did offer Adam all things also, but when he chose the good over the evil, which ye thought not he would, ye sought after to destroy him and his seed, yea even causing a flood to ruin all things of the holy creation. But I spake unto Adam and Adam unto his sons, and Noah prepared an ark with mine angels and did save a holy remnant of the creation, and mankind did flourish after the flood. But the time draweth nigh when the righteous shall inherit the earth, and those of humane love will prosper in all things, and ye shall be no more over them, nor have power to corrupt the creation."

Satan at hearing these things spoken by Jesus, remained silent for a short time, then decided to end the temptations, and thus departed from Jesus, knowing for a certainty this was the Son of God, knowing good from evil, and light from darkness .

. . . And behold, many Holy Angels of God came and ministered unto Jesus with many songs and prayers to the glory of all that is sacred and pure, in that Jesus warded off the temptations of Satan and yielded not to wicked authority . . . .

And after a time, Jesus returned from the wilderness, and his parents happy to see him, made him a feast, and they gave unto him the gifts which the wise men had presented to him as a babe in the manger. And Mary spake, saying: "These things have we kept for thee, Jesus, even to this day." And she gave unto him the frankincense, and the myrrh, and the gold. And Jesus took of the frankincense; of the myrrh he gave unto Mary Magdalene; but of the gold he gave unto his parents to distribute among the combines of the brothers and sisters, those of the holy way. And much happiness and joy

did they experience at the feast, for the spirit of peace was with them in all they did and spoke. And they did eat the produce of the earth and drank the juice of the ripened fruits, even as the Holy Law commandeth.

The next day, John the Baptist saw Jesus coming unto him, and said to the people standing nearby, "Behold, the Lamb of God, which by his righteousness taketh away the sin of the world, the sin being, many of the people abusing and forgetting true love . . ." And John continued to bear testimony, saying: "Yea, I saw the Holy Christ descending from heaven like a Dove, and it rested upon him . . . And I saw and bear public record that this was and is the Son of God, even Jesus Christ, the Holy One of God, that restoreth all things to their root . . ."

And the time had arrived for Jesus to start gathering disciples, that they might learn of His Law and Truth, for the living law was in the flesh and walked among men, teaching, healing, and ever interpreting the Holy Law unto all that would hear and know the holy way . . . From every tribe of Israel he so appointed an apostle unto Israel, that they like all nations of the earth, should hear testimony of his truths. In due course Jesus would assemble many learners of the Holy Law to teach and instruct the nations the way to eternal salvation.

Peter and Andrew, brothers, were among the first to become disciples. Andrew said unto Peter: "We have found the Christ, our Messiah, let us follow his ways to salvation . . ." Going into Galilee, Jesus came unto Philip and said, "Follow me." And Philip approached Nathanael, and said unto him, "We have found him, of whom Moses in the law and the Prophets did foretell, this Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph and Mary." And Jesus said unto Nathanael, "Behold an Israelite in whom is no guile or defilement of the Holy Law! Come! Follow me also with Philip."

And Jesus continued to make disciples everywhere he spake the word of the Eternal. Yea, even among young men and old men,

wise men and unlearned men, young women and widows, wealthy and poor, mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters. Many were they that heard the holy voice and hearkened to truth, and many were blessed with understanding and wisdom....

And some Pharisees looked on in all wonderment, but most looked on in envy and hate, but Jesus without letup continued to make disciples of all those yearning for truth and salvation.

And it came to pass that one certain Pharisee named Simon, asked of Jesus that he would dine with him, and Jesus did sit down and eat with Simon. And behold a woman of Magdala, Mary, reputed a sinner, was also in the city and sought after Jesus to present him with a gift, an alabaster box of ointment.

Finding Jesus in the house of the Pharisee, she stood at Jesus' feet behind him, weeping, and washed His feet with her tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and then she kissed his feet, and anointed them with ointment . . .

The Pharisee Simon was surprised at what he saw, for he felt in his heart, if Jesus were a prophet, he would not have such a sinner touch him . . .

But Jesus, perceiving Simon's bewilderment, said unto him: "There was a creditor which had two debtors. The one owed 500 pence and the other 50. And when they had nothing to pay, the creditor freely forgave both. Tell me, Simon, which of the debtors will love him most?" And Simon answered: "I suppose that he to whom he forgave the most." And Jesus said unto him, "Thou hast rightly judged." And he said unto Simon, "Now seest thou this woman in question. Did I not enter into thine house, but thou gavest me no water for my feet, did thou? But she who hath no water, washed my feet with many tears, and so wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou also gavest me no kiss, but this woman since the very time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet, even as thou hast beheld. Also my head with oil thou didst not anoint, but this woman hath anointed even my feet with ointment. Wherefore, Simon, I say unto thee, by God's Grace, her sins, which are indeed many, are forgiven, for although ye have not known this woman to be humane, but know her only by her sins, I tell ye truly, she has loved and cared much, not only for the needy, but also every beast

and the birds of the air, yea, even the fishes of the sea. For I say unto ye, to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little."

And Simon remained silent, but listened to every word. And then Jesus said unto the woman, "Truly, thy sins are forgiven thee, all peace be unto thee." And they who sat at the table began to say within themselves, for a certainty, "who is this one that even forgives sins?" For Jesus had not said unto the woman, "I forgive thee," but "Thy sins are forgiven thee." For Jesus discerned in her heart, true faith and penitence. Yea, for Jesus needed not the outside testimony of any man, for he himself knew what was in every man and woman before him, knowing the good from the evil, the right from the wrong.

. . . And Jesus continued to awaken the people to mercy and love because of his great wisdom and knowledge of the inner meanings of the Holy Law. The Spirit of Truth was upon him and everywhere he spake, the people received his words in gladness and peace . . . And Mary Magdalene also became a disciple of Jesus and sin never came unto her again, for she was purified and yearned only to do good and forget the evil. And Mary at times did travel with Jesus and the disciples, and did herself speak unto many, the keeping of the Holy Law, and many women listened unto her words and became disciples of the holy way, yea, even bearing testimony to their families and neighbors of the salvation and light of Jesus. And some of the Pharisees did listen to Jesus' words also, and did leave off from their evil ways and followed him. And there was great excitement among the priests who wished not to hear of Jesus nor his truths.

And one day certain ones of the Pharisees questioned Jesus, and said unto him, "How sayest thou that God will condemn the world?" And Jesus answered them, saying, "The Eternal One so loveth the righteous seed in the world, and the only begotten Son cometh into the world, that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but inherit everlasting life. God, therefore, sendeth not the Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him may be saved from bondage to death and sin. For I tell ye, truly, they who believe on him sent are not condemned; but they that believe not, condemn themselves, because they have not believed in the name of the only begotten of God.

"Thereby, this is the condemnation, that the light is come into the world, but men love darkness rather than light, because light exposes the darkness whereby all evil deeds are made manifest for every eye to see. For all they who do evil hate the light, for the light is good, neither come they to the light, lest their evil deeds be exposed and condemned by the Holy Law. But they who work righteousness come to the light, for they are drawn to it out of love for all that is pure and holy, that their deeds may be made manifest and be approved by God. Thus will they shine forth with the light and conquer the evil with the good."

And the Pharisees were silent at his words of wisdom, and dared not question Jesus further at that time, for indeed their own evil deeds had condemned them as workers of lawlessness, and they feared greater exposure, as many were the people who heard Jesus' words.

And Jesus continued to travel with many disciples to various regions of Israel, where he did amass believers of the Holy Law, for many listened unto him and were astonished and did believe truly in their hearts that he was the Son of God, the promised deliverer of the enslaved earthly race of man . . . And Jesus did heal every ailment and disease among the sick, even teaching the people the art of true health reform according to the natural laws of nature. Yea, for he taught the people healing properties of plants, even every

herb and grass of the field, and the power hidden in stones, and the cleansing miracle of pure water. And many were amazed and did believe and were healed.

And because of his great wisdom and understanding Jesus amazed entire households and helped many unto the holy way of life. And Jesus did teach the clean diet of man and beast, and taught even the Holy Law on health that all may know and learn true salvation. And he named every fruit that God had given unto man as food and every vegetable that God had given unto the beasts and birds of the earth, yea even of the fishes did Jesus spake of and told every household with ears sacred truths of the holy way. And many were the listeners who obeyed his words from that time on.

And on hearing these things, a certain Sadducee who believed not in the holy things of God, asked Jesus, "Tell me, please, why sayest thou, do not eat the flesh of animals. Were not the beasts given unto man as food, even as the fruits and herbs ye spake of?" And Jesus answered him and said, "Behold this melon, the fruit of the earth." And Jesus broke open a watermelon and said unto the Sadducee, "See thou with thine own eyes the good fruit of the soil, the meat of man, and see thou the seeds within, count ye them, for one melon maketh a hundred fold and even more. If thou sow this seed, ye do eat from the True God, for no blood was spilled, nay, no pain nor outcry did ye hear with thy ears or see with thine eyes. The true food of man is from the Mother of the earth, for She brings forth perfect gifts unto the humble of the land. But ye seek what Satan giveth, the anguish, the death, and the blood of living souls taken by the sword. Know ye not, those who live by the sword, die by the same death? Go ye thine way, and plant the seeds of the good fruit of life, and leave ye off from hurting the innocent creatures of God. For I tell ye, man needeth male and female beasts for the food he so lusteth after, but every plant and tree, God so giveth, beareth its own free seed for food. Depend ye not on the things unnecessary to your soul. Plant ye the good seeds of the melon, wherein ye saveth from season to season and waiteth for the soil like sleeping man awaiteth the sunrise; for the seed was made for the morrow's meal, but the animals for the joy and pleasure of God and man.

And once again Jesus visited the territory of his parents, known by some as Nazareth, and as his custom was, went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up so that he might read from Isaiah's scroll. And there in the small meeting place was the scroll of the prophet Isaiah (Esaias) given unto him.

And when Jesus had unrolled the scroll, he found the place where it was written and prophesied of him saying: "The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the holy way to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty and freedom all that are bound. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord."

And Jesus rolled up the scroll, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. And he began saying unto them, "This day is this scripture fulfilled, yea even as ye heard with ears of flesh. For I say unto ye all, I am the Christ who Isaiah spake of and did know.

And the poor of the land are they of humble heart and spirit who listen to my voice, even as I heal the brokenhearted who know not the root from whence they came, but do know I come to heal them with truth and mercy. Yea, I preach deliverance to the captives, even all of mankind enslaved to Satan's unmerciful laws and of angels imprisoned in darkness. And to the blind, I restore unto them light, my holy law, that they may know truth and see, both spiritual and physical marvels of God. And to those bound, yea even every beast of the field and every flying creature of the heaven, I set free, for I come also to put an end to every form of sacrifice in my Father's Holy Name; for at no time did my Father-Mother God in Heaven ask such cruelty, but wanted only of man the Pure Oblation. Yea, I am come to fulfill all spoken of me, and so shall all be fulfilled through my presence."

And those in the synagogue began to question among themselves just who this man could really be, and then some of them brought unto Jesus a blind man to test his power. And they said unto Jesus: "Heal this man now, even as thou hast healed Gentiles in faraway lands, yea even India and Egypt. For we have heard of your travels to many lands and the marvels thou worketh among the peoples."

And Jesus, looking upon the blind man, perceived his unbelief and also the unbelief of those that brought him, and he perceived

their evil desire to ensnare him. And on this account, Jesus could do no mighty work in their behalf. Their unbelief and unworthiness of the Holy Spirit was manifest in their conduct. And Jesus said unto them: "Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own territory, for ye believe me not to be the promised Holy One, but know ye, neither doth a physician work cures upon them that know him." And Jesus went on to relate the examples of Elias and Eliseus as further testimony unto them.

But when they heard these things, they were filled with wrath and wanted to do harm unto Jesus ... But Jesus passing through the midst of them, went his way and escaped their evil intentions. And thus did Jesus shew unto them his rejection as Grand Prophet in a time to come by Israel. And that the Gentiles would go forth and venture ahead of Israel in upholding all that is holy and pure and spread the word of truth unto many men and nations. But they understood not the meaning of Jesus' words, for their hearts were evil and hard.

And Jesus went out of the territory of his parents, and many of his disciples followed him. discoursing among themselves along the roadway as to the wonders of nature and her many laws...And Jesus began to preach and to say unto many, "Repent: for the Kingdom of Heaven is nigh and even in your midst." And as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother, for they were yet fishermen. And he saith unto them, "Come, now, follow me, and I will make ye fishers of men; leave ye off from disturbance of God's creatures and learn ye to give life, not taking life from any living thing under the Sun." And hearing these words of Jesus, they immediately forsook their nets, and followed him on his way, wondering at the meaning of his words, for they were not of the Holy Way of the Brotherhood and understood not the reverence toward all life.

The Holy Ones were named Essene by outsiders, meaning, the Holy Saints of God, they who taketh not a life of any creature, but known by their keeping the law of humane love amongst themselves. And not long after this, Jesus came unto two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother. And he called them ... And they also followed Jesus and became apostles unto the

Lord. And Jesus moved about all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Holy Way of life, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. And the knowledge of his good works went throughout all Syria, and many were brought unto him ill with every kind of disease and torment, those possessed, those with palsy, and many other ailments did Jesus heal.

And word spread among the cities and towns like wildfire, and there followed Jesus great masses of believers from Galilee, and from Decapolis and from Jerusalem and Judea, and even from beyond Jordan. For the fame of Jesus' works and sayings were widely known, and many did tell their neighbors and their neighbors' neighbors, so that the whole of the territory knew of Jesus and his God-sent mission. And the disciples of Jesus listened attentively to every word, and were astonished by his great wisdom and ability to know all things. For not a single soul asked a question or matter that Jesus did not answer to satisfaction, some glad, some wrought. For many sought after Jesus for unrighteous gain, but Jesus knew their heart and understood every mind.

And as Jesus was walking along with some of his disciples, they met up with a certain man who trained dogs to hunt other weaker creatures. And seeing this, Jesus said to the man, "Why doest thou this foul thing?" And the man answered and said, "By this, I earn my living; for what purpose do these creatures profit anything? Yea, these creatures are weak, and deserve death, but the dogs, they are strong."

And Jesus looked upon the man with a sad countenance and said, "Thou truly lacketh wisdom and love from above, for lo, every creature which God hath made, hath its own end and purpose in the kingdom of life, and who can say what good is there in it? Or what profit to thyself, or mankind? For it is not thy part to judge the weak as inferior to the strong, for the weak were not delivered unto man as food or for sport. But as for man's living, I tell ye, behold the fields yielding their daily increase, and the fruit-bearing trees, and the herbs; what needest thou more than these which honest work of thy own hands will not give to thee? For I say unto ye this day, before men and angels, Woe to the strong who misuse their strength! Woe to

the crafty who hurt and destroy the creatures of God! Yea, woe to the hunters, for they will be hunted, and with what mercy they shew unto their innocent prey, the same will they receive at the hands of unworthy men! Leave off from this foul work of evil men, work what is good in the eyes of the Lord and be blessed, lest ye be cursed on thy own account."

And it came to pass that the man did learn of the holy way and became Jesus' disciple, never again doing harm to any of the creatures of God....And the days passed quickly into weeks and months, but many were the righteous works and sayings of Jesus. And his disciples followed him everywhere, in and out of small villages and towns. Wherever a large crowd was gathered around, Jesus was in their midst, teaching the holy way of life, better known among the people as the followers of the Essene way.

And one day two wealthy men, merchants, approached Jesus, and the one said unto him, "Hail, Lord, Good Master." But Jesus quickly said unto him, "Call me not good, for One alone is the ALL GOOD, who is the Eternal Father over all."

And the other merchant brought forth a question and asked, "Master, what good thing shall I do in order to live long?" Jesus answered, "Fulfill the Law of Humane Love and obey the Prophets."

But the man answered, "I have kept the law and do believe the prophets, is this all?" And then Jesus said unto him, "Go, then, sell all thou hast and divide with the poor of the holy way, the true brotherhood of God, and follow me also."

But these words pleased the man not, and he looked sadly upon Jesus, for he possessed much wealth. Then again Jesus spake unto him, "How sayest thou hast performed the Holy Law and the prophets? For behold, many of thy own brethren are clad with dirty rags and dying from hunger, and yet thy house is full of much goods, none of which goeth unto them in great need." And the two rich men remained silent and said not a word, walking away from Jesus, knowing quite well the words he spake were true.

And then Jesus said unto Simon his disciple, "Indeed, Simon, it is very difficult for the wealthy to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, for the rich care-only for themselves, and despise greatly them that have not. For truly I tell ye this day, unless the rich share with the

poor, and look to the needy in their despair, they cannot fulfill the Holy Law of humane love, nor shall they enter into the Kingdom of the Elect."

And Jesus continued to journey from place to place, healing every kind of disease that Satan brought upon the earth and man, and even leprosy did Jesus heal, and every infirmity, thus teaching the people the use of every herb God gave Noah to cure all manner of illness. And the people heard of his fame, and great multitudes gathered before him to hear his words and see his righteous works. And Jesus from time to time would leave the crowds behind and go off into the wilderness and fast and pray, where Holy Angels would minister unto him.

And one day after Jesus healed a man with palsy, and told him "thy sins are forgiven thee," the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason among themselves, that Jesus speaketh blasphemies. They reasoned, Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he looked upon them and said: "Why do ye reason this way in your heart? Can even God Himself forgive sins, if man repent not? Whether it is easier to say, 'Thy sins be forgiven thee;' or to say, 'Rise up and walk,' know ye that the Son of Man hath power upon earth to discern, and declare the forgiveness of sins; for any who put their faith in me and my law, their sins will be forgiven, and they shall become purified."

And many on hearing these words of Jesus, glorified God, and were filled with the Spirit of Reverence, for they believed Jesus to be the Son of the Holy Father.

Then another of the Pharisees approached Jesus and said unto him, "Why teacheth thy disciples, 'God is not a jealous God'? Hath not Moses in scripture sayeth thus, even: have no other Gods before my face? Thou speaketh blasphemy against Moses and God from whom ye say ye art sent forth."

And Jesus turned to the Pharisee and said unto him, "If ye know not the Son, ye know not the Father who sent the Son. Ye speak according to the ignorance ye live by, for thy god is one with Satan, inventor of the lie and every evil in man. My Father Who sent me unto the earthly sons of man is above earthly matters, wherein every deception and falsehood originated. Ye speaketh well when ye

say thy god is a jealous god, for what hath the Maker of all things Who ruleth and owneth the universe reason for jealousy, He Who is all Love, and all Wisdom, and all Power, and all Grace? Thy god is over earth, my God over All Created Good; in your deception ye speak corruption unto the sons of man, for thy god is inferior and ignorant and knoweth not the Holy Things, nor cometh near to them. If ye understood Moses, ye would understand me, for Moses spake of me and the TRUE GOD, but ye listened to him not, but corrupted his words, for ye wish not truth yourselves and wish not others to find it either."

And the people nearby listened to Jesus' words, but the Pharisees walked away murmuring to themselves, not satisfied with Jesus' answer.

And Jesus departed unto another village where he found a man who was deaf from birth. And this man did not believe in the sound of rushing wind, or the thunder, or the cries of the beasts, or the birds which do complain of their hunger and their hurt, nor did he believe that others heard all these things. Hearing the deaf man speak, Jesus felt great pity, and he breathed into his ears a deep breath and spake a few words no man understood, and at that moment, the ears were opened, and the man did hear for the first time.

And now the man rejoiced with overwhelming gladness in the sounds he before denied were real. And he said unto Jesus, "Now, I hear all things, great one; it is exceedingly joyful!" And Jesus perceiving his great joy and happy to see the man glad, said unto him: "Yea, ye hear much, but ye hear not all things. For I say unto ye, canst thou hear the sighing of the prisoner in chains, and the slave in bondage to evil men, or the language of the birds or the beasts of the forest when they commune with each other? Or canst thou hear the voices and singing of holy angels before God? Think now, how much thou canst not hear and be thee humble in thy lack of knowledge and understanding, for I tell ye, earthly man hears only with ears of flesh, but the man of God knoweth what others hear not."

And Jesus moved on with his disciples following him, and they came upon a tax collector, named Levi. And Jesus said unto him, "Follow me this day." And Levi left all behind, and did follow Jesus. And Levi invited Jesus to a great feast in his own house, and there gathered a great crowd of tax collectors and others... But the Scribes and Pharisees murmured against Jesus' disciples, saying, "Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and evil doers, know ye not any better men?" But Jesus hearing their complaining said unto them, "They who are whole need not a physician, but only they who are ill. Thus, I come not to call the saints and righteous, those of the holy way, the very elect, but I come to call sinners to repentance! For I tell ye truly, if all were as the Essene brotherhood, all would be doing the will of my Father-Mother in Heaven and all would be well."

And the Pharisees answered Jesus and said unto him, "The same ye speak highly of, work against the law of Moses, for they offer not the blood sacrifice at the temple, nor keepeth the same Sabbath as the priests and the people. Yet, ye speak good and holy things of these people, whom we wish not to recognize. Yea, these same disciples of John fast much and make many prayers even as our own disciples doeth, and yet ye do eat and drink much . . ."

And Jesus answered them saying, "Yea, John the Baptist came neither eating the flesh of animals, nor drinking strong drink, and did make many disciples, and yet, ye say of him, 'He hath a devil within.' And now, Lo, the Son of Man cometh also, like John, eating the fruits of the earth, and drinking the milk of the flock, and ye say, 'Behold, a glutton and wine bibber, a friend of publicans and evil doers.' Yea, ye say also, 'This one healeth by Satan and the power of Satan.' Thou condemnest the Son of Man for righteous works in the name of the True God, which thou knowest not, to hide the evilness of thine own wickeness and rotten works. Ye are like idols of stone; ears they have but hear not, eyes they have but see not, hearts they have but made of hard stone. Cease from speaking the self righteousness of your ignorant ways, speak not of holy things, when ye know not the only True God, nor the one whom he sent forth."

And Jesus did teach his disciples by means of many parables, but the ears of the scribes and the Pharisees were stopped up, for they could not behold the truth Jesus spake . . . .

And Jesus departed from that place, and went into the mountains to a certain place with some of his disciples. And one of them said: "Master, teach us to pray according to thy wisdom, for many pray in different manners, strange to us." And Jesus said unto them, "When thou prayest alone, enter into thy secret chamber, and after thou hast closed the door, pray to Abba Amma, Who is above and within thee, and thy Father-Mother Who seest all that is secret shall surely answer thee . . . . But when ye are gathered together, and pray in the common place of thy brothers and sisters, even the holy brotherhood, use not vain repetition, for your heavenly Parent knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask them. Pray ye, therefore after this manner:

"'Our Father-Mother Who art above all in heaven and within every creature and thing: Hallowed be Thy sacred Name in twofold Trinity. In Wisdom, Love, Equity allow Thy Kingdom to come to all who love Thee. Let Thy will be done, as in Heaven, so in Earth. Give us day by day to partake of Thy Holy Bread, and the fruitage of the living Holy Vine. As Thou dost forgive us our trespasses, so may we be willing to forgive others who trespass against us. Shew upon us Thy goodness, that to others we also may shew the same. In the hour of temptation, deliver us from evil. For Thine are the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: From the Ages of ages, Now, and to the Ages of ages to come. Amen."

And his disciples listened attentively as Jesus spake unto them the holy words. And Jesus continued saying unto them: "And wherever there are seven gathered in My Name, there am I in the midst of them; yea, if there be only three or two, and where is but one who prayeth in secret, I am with that one also. For truly I tell ye, to raise up the stone, and here I am.

"For in the fire, and in the water, even as in every living form, God is manifest as its Life and its Substance, for God is the Law, the Life and the Love of all things. He is in all, and all is in Him that obeys the Holy Word. "And seek ye the 14 fruits of the Holy Wisdom, even the Mother of every thing from Above, for the nature of good is within Her Laws, and it cleaveth to all who reach out for the True Vine of Life. "For I tell ye truly, had Adam partaken of Holy Wisdom in Eden, the Son of Man would not be in thy midst today, for the Holy Tree of Life was planted that man would know the goodness of God

and not the evil of Satan. But now every thing must return unto its original root, for the world believeth the lie for the truth, as it was implanted in the minds of evil men, who loveth lawlessness and not peace.

"Seek therefore the virtues of good that ye may understand and identify the evil things of the world, for there exists no evil in the earth nor in the created marvels of God, but only the evil that man worketh in spirit and body according to the lusts and desires of his flesh. For the evil one tempteth man into sin, and then evil results. "But I tell ye, the Holy Law putteth off all evil if ye search after its power and wisdom. Seek ye then first the Kingdom of God and all else in the world shall be vanity unto you, for the truth sets free the righteous and breaketh the chain of bondage to sin. Yea, sin not, and evil shall find no place. Pray ye then after the manner I tell ye, that ye be spared the trials of Satan . . . ."

And his disciples delighted in Jesus' words and continued astonished at his great wisdom and understanding of all things.

And Jesus said unto them further: "If thy brother hath sinned in word seven times a day, and seven times a day hath he made amendment and was truly sorry, receive him as a brother in good faith."

But Simon said unto Jesus, "Seven times a day is surely forgiving! "

And the Lord Jesus answered and said unto him, "I tell thee also, unto seventy times seven, for even in the Prophets, after they were anointed by the Holy Spirit, utterance of sin was still found in them. I tell ye, therefore, Be ye considerate with one another, be tender, be ye pitiful, be ye kind, not to your own race or kind alone, but to every creature which is within your care, for ye are to them as Gods, to whom they look in their time of need. Be ye humane, for the Father-Mother in Heaven gave all creatures unto thy care from the very beginning.

"Love ye one another and every creature of God. Be ye also slow to anger, for many sin in anger which they repented of, when their anger was past, for anger is the sister of ignorance and ignorance the brother of every sin. Yea, learn ye patience and endurance that ye may not tire or grow weary of one another or the work set before you.

"Look unto the beasts of the field and learn their ways: when they awaken each morn, they look up to the heaven, and greet thy God, and in like manner offer prayer to their Creator. Nay; they complain not of anything, though they suffer much and hunger and thirst. These noble beasts rise above man in hidden qualities man knoweth not, and they teacheth man if man inquire. Learn ye the patience and courage of these beasts, who though they have no leader, tend to their needs and care for their young even as a good mother loveth her child.

"If ye look unto nature and her marvels everywhere, ye will always be encouraged, for God giveth unto the sons of man every creation under the Sun, to cheer his heart and bring gladness to his soul. For I tell ye truly, these beasts of the field sin not and know not sin; innocent are they of all evil, and woe to any man who causeth the least one of them anguish or pain. Therefore, I say unto ye, whenever thy heart is heavy with worry or sadness, look unto these noble creations for joy and gladness, walk ye into the forest and behold the trees and flowers, look ye at the mountains and the rivers, watch ye the flying creatures and how they happily sing unto the earth and all in it. Observe ye the Great Household of God, yea, thy sisters and brothers in every form; look unto them and they will receive thee and gladden thy hearts with much joy and peace. For above all else, learn ye to love one another, even as I have loved thee, and my Father in Heaven loved me. For the Holy Law teacheth the holy way of love, and no man knoweth the power of love, lest he keepeth the law in his heart....

And on another occasion, while Jesus was traveling with his disciples over some mountains, they came upon a difficult path, very steep and dangerous. And there they found a horse that had fallen down the steep sides, for it was overladen with much weight. And the owner of the beast struck at it, till blood flowed forth.

And Jesus seeing this sad sight, said unto the man, "Son of cruelty, why beateth thou thy beast? Seest thou not that it is too weak for its heavy load, and knowest thou not that it suffers much for thou delivering such painful blows?" And the owner of the horse answered Jesus and said: "What hast thou to do with my horse? I may beat it as much as it pleaseth me, for it is mine own, and I bought it with a goodly sum."

Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said for the second time, "See ye not how it bleedeth, and hear ye not also how it cries and laments?" But they answered and said, "Nay, Lord, we hear not the poor beast cry or lament."

And Jesus was saddened at them, and said, "Woe unto you, because of the dullness of your hearts. Ye hear not how it lamenteth or waileth unto the heavenly Creator for mercy, but there be woe unto its owner, against whom it crieth and waileth in its pain. For no mercy shall he find, until he knoweth the Son of Man."

And Jesus went unto the horse and did touch it, and the horse stood up, and its wounds were healed as if it were never beaten. But to the cruel man, he said: "Go now thy own way and beat thy horse henceforth no more, if thou also desireth to find mercy for thine own self. For I tell ye this day, no nobler beast liveth on earth, and every time ye strike a blow of death to these mine animals, ye strike down the Son of Man. And he who dealeth unjustly with God's Son, dealeth in sin against the Father-Mother in Heaven. For one day, ye shall be in need of mercy and rest even as this beast, but who shall offer it unto ye? Know ye better the Son of Man, lest ye be found wanting and so lose thy life. For with great mercy doeth the Eternal ALL suffer thy sins, lest He puts forth His Hand and wipes clean the surface of thy earth. Yea, know ye the power of mercy and all mercy shall be given unto ye in thy time of need." And the man took hold of his horse and continued on his way....

And after many other things were said and done, Jesus returned to the city, and looked upon the innocent creatures of God awaiting slaughter as daily sacrifice in the temple at Jerusalem. And he said unto his disciples and many people that had gathered around them (for everywhere Jesus went, crowds surrounded him to listen and hear his wisdom):

"Behold these poor innocent beasts of thy earth, they harm not themselves, nor man, nor any other creature. Yea, they eat the green vegetation of the field, sinless and without blood guilt they have remained since their creation. Faithful and obedient they remain to their masters in hope that humane feelings be their reward in life, but instead they receive every hurt and death at man's hand.

Lo, the lust of ignorant and stubborn man brings them down in death and much blood, that men may satisfy the lusts of their own flesh. Such men have hearts, but know them not, for they have become like their idols of stone, hard and vain.

"Woe to such blasphemers who reject the Holy Law of the sacredness of all life! Woe to such blind guides with hearts of stone, who use their eyes to lust after things they need not nor are lawful unto them! For they transgress the Law of Moses to maketh themselves fat on the flesh and blood of innocent victims, that God commanded them not even since the beginning! Woe be unto this very temple built by human hands, for the Temple made without hands is here in their midst, but they see or hear not!

"For I come to end all sacrifice and bloodshed and tell ye, if ye cease not offering and eating of flesh and blood, the wrath of God shall not cease from you, even as it came to your fathers in the wilderness, who under Moses lusted for flesh, which they ate to their fullness, and were filled with rottenness, and the plague consumed them according to their evil desires.

"For I say unto you, Though ye be gathered together in my bosom, if ye keep not all my commandments, I will cast you forth. For if ye keep not the lesser revelations, who, I ask, shall give you the greater ones? For since time immemorial, God hath at no time requireth animal or human sacrifices, lest He be inferior to the Holy Law! Nor hast God permitted man or beast to devour one another for food, lest He be ignorant of His own Love! How then, do ye eat flesh and give sacrifices of blood according to the law of humane love?

,,Ye know not the True God, but worship the perverted god of thy world, even Satan the one and same father of the sword and bloodshed. For by this one, death entered into the world and death spread to all things, for all things are in bondage as slaves to the master of the lie. But I come to set free those imprisoned by chains of sin, and give forth my Holy Law again unto the nations that they may know the only True God of love and mercy. For my God above suffereth sin and error of men much, lest He put a swift end to the vanity of the world and cut off His Elect Seed.

"Be ye faithful to the complete law of God, lest ye stumble in thy evil ways and meet death as thy final reward. For he that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much, and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. So it is with the Holy Law, for

the first truths you keepeth not, but seek after the greater. Seek ye first the laws of God and all else will be revealed unto you. No man may digest the solid food of God, lest first he taketh of the liquid, for my law is the water of life. Drink ye, like pure water, and all other mysteries of God will be opened to you, and then ye will know the True God and His Good Works.

"For ye desire to serve two masters, one good, one evil, and cannot, for either ye will hate the one, and love the other, or else ye will stick to the one and despise the other....Know ye then, thy true root, whether ye be good or evil, and then ye shall know the truth that giveth life and health. Ye cannot serve both the True God and Satan, for the True God is All Love and His Holy Law leadeth to All Life, there being no death in His Order and Household.

"But know ye that Satan is the god of death and bloodshed and also giveth to the people many unholy laws that the True God hateth and condemneth. Know ye not that the two cannot mix, but the inferior shall be done away with, for the Holy Law has served as judge over the living and the dead since the days of Adam and Eve. Hence, ye are they which justify yourselves before men and God, for God knoweth your hearts and your ways....

"For know ye, that the same Law and the Prophets were here until John and changeth not. Yea, even before the foundations of thy earth were laid, the Law was and always will be . . . Yea, it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the Law to fail its purpose. Keep ye the Law, then, and all other things will be added unto you, for there is no thing above the Law, and any thing which comes below the Law, is not perfect nor complete, nor is it from the True God of Love . . . ."

And the Pharisees heard all these sayings of Jesus, and observed that he was speaking of them, for they lived according to doctrines of men and of the devil, and not the true law Moses hath given them in the wilderness, they being responsible for the lawlessness of animal sacrifice and flesh eating among Israel . . . .

And Jesus again departed from among the crowd and continued to work good towards all, and he proceeded to bless every beast and every child among the households of Israel, and did restore

the sick and the dying to sound health again. Yea, everywhere Jesus traveled, the people were aware of his mighty works and proclaimed him as the Son of God on earth. For there was not a man or a child that did not hear or see of his beneficent deeds, the young and the aged, the crippled and the lame, the blind and the deaf, yea even all of the animal kingdom, were aware of his presence and his healing power of true love. His radiance was of a bright nature, like that of Holy Angels, and the mere wave of his hand raced the healing forces of God throughout all the land. For Jesus had at his side, myriads of angels to service the needs of the righteous and any man with faith that Jesus was the true Son of God.

And many were the children that followed Jesus by his side, listening with great interest and beholding the marvels that Jesus worketh daily. And Jesus loved the little children dearly and did say much unto them concerning the wonders of nature and the creations of God. And never was Jesus too busy not to notice their presence, and he did bless them and their animals and saith:

"Obey thy parents on earth as to the Laws of God, and thy All Parent in Heaven will bless both thy parents and thyself and thy life will be long and peaceful upon this earth. And as ye little children do cherish thy beasts ye keepeth for pleasure and company, so shall I cherish each one of ye forever, for innocent and pure art the animals and innocent and pure as little children must all men become, lest they not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. For who among these little children doth not love the creatures of God, they so own and keep with kindness? Yea, unless ye all remain as innocent as these beloved children, ye shall never fulfill the Law of Love. Know, then, ye parents of young ones, raise up thy children in the Holy Law of the Lord, and ye shall raise them up to salvation and everlasting life, for unless ye impart the humane love of the holy law when yet thy child is young and innocent, the unholy law of Satan enters in and sours the sweetness of undefiled waters, and every cruel thing cometh into being."

And one day as Jesus traveled through a small village with some of his disciples, he noticed a crowd of no-gooders, those of a certain kind who search for evil things to do. And they were tor-

turing a sickly cat, which they had decided to shamefully treat, for they could find nothing better to use idle time, they being lazy and unworthy young men.

And Jesus seeing this mean cruelty, commanded them to leave off from tormenting the poor beast, and he began to reason with them, so as to make them realize their evil, but they listened not, for the Holy Law was not found in them, but only hardness of heart; and they reviled Jesus for his interference with their pastime.

At this Jesus said unto them: "This good earth which my Father-Mother made for joy and gladness, ye have made into the lowest regions of hell with thy evil deeds of violence and cruelty. Why doeth the stronger always prey on the weakest? I tell ye, since Satan cursed the Holy Creations of God, no thing is safe in the earth from unholy men, till the Son of Man cometh in all his glory and free every creature from the curse of dread and of fear."

And at hearing these words the young men fled from before his face, but one did return and defied Jesus further, and spake harsh words, yea, even threatening Jesus with harm. Hence, not responding to the sound counsel of Jesus, Jesus put forth his hand, and the young man's arm withered.

And the next day, the mother of the young man came unto Jesus, and prayed that he would restore her son's withered arm. And Jesus, discerning that the woman was of good heart, and the young man without maturity, spake unto them of the law of love and the unity of all life in the One Household of God. And they both listened unto Jesus' words with sincere hearts.

And Jesus continued, saying to them also: "As ye do in this life to your fellow creatures, who are thy lesser brothers and sisters, so shall it be accounted to you in the life to come. For I tell ye truly, Satan charges all evil against thy souls, and seeketh to destroy the whole of mankind through sin. Therefore I tell ye, work only that which is humane, so that thy good accounting can overrule the evil charges Satan shall surely bring forth, for no soul shall inherit the resurrection of life, whom this one claimeth as seed. For the evil one bringeth many into sin, but judgeth that sin also, for the wages of evil are death, and Satan giveth no good rewards but only bad. Yea, all those whosoever liveth by the unholy law of this one, condemneth his own soul, for he is accused daily and without pity.

Search ye, therefore, the wisdom of the True God, which leadeth to life and mercy for all creatures, great and small, weak and strong,

and the evil one will flee from you, for where light dwelleth, darkness enters not."

And the young man believed the words of Jesus and did confess many sins unto him, and Jesus again stretched forth his hand, and healed the withered arm of the young man. And many people glorified God, in that He had given such great power unto the Son of Man.

And Jesus departed into another place and continued to demonstrate the healing power of the Holy Law. And he opened the eyes of the physical and spiritual blind, and even cured men possessed with demons, left for mad, for it was Satan's unholy laws that brought forth every manner of disease and infirmity on earth, even called by name in the Holy Book of Solomon. But Jesus healed with the power of nature and did use the herbs and the stones and the pure waters of every stream, healing much sickness among the people, and instructing the people in the healing property of every fruit and grass which God giveth to man for long life and perfect health.

And when Jesus saw the multitudes, he was moved with deep compassion for them, because they were without knowledge of the Holy Laws of God, but were in bondage to the unholy laws of lusts, even unto Satan the evil one....It was then he said unto his disciples, "The Harvest is truly plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore, the Lord of the Harvest, that he will send forth more laborers into his Harvest. For I tell ye, the blind guides leadeth the sons of men into death, for how doeth the blind leadeth the blind in any other manner? Yea, they are the children of darkness, wherein no light can dwell, and they taketh many with them into the depths of hell, for they speak only according to the lie, the unholy laws of Satan, inventor of every disease and plague."

And then Jesus' disciples prayed for more laborers to be sent into the Harvest, for they understood Jesus' words, that the Pharisees and scribes were misleading the multitudes of Israel, they being many, but the True Prophets being few....

And then his disciples brought him two small baskets of bread and fruit and a pitcher of fresh water. And Jesus set the bread and the fruit and also the water before the multitude, and they all did

eat and did drink and were filled. And the disciples marvelled, for each had enough and to spare, and there were four thousand among them numbered....And Jesus said unto them: "So also, it shall be with the Harvest, for although the Harvest is indeed plentiful, few laborers shall gather in the Harvest, and yet shall all be filled and satisfied, for none shall hunger, nor thirst for righteousness, that shall not be fed, for out from a little shall a great multitude be fed, and out from a great multitude shall the little be replenished.

"For know ye, the very angels of the Lord are the reapers of the Harvest and they leadeth the holy ones to every seed of God, spread out over the earth, even as the four holy winds above. Yea, they maketh the light to shine forth, and the sheep see the light and knoweth it cometh from God. For ye are the light bearers of the holy way. By thy light, the roadway shall be made clear for the righteous seed to follow thee; henceforth, let thy light shine forth and be seen, for no man covereth a lantern with a sack, lest the light be hidden.

"Know ye, this day, ye are the light of the world, and my sheep looketh to thy light. Feed my sheep even as the Good Shepherd hath commanded ye, for mine angels shall deliver unto thee many in want of the Christ and his Truths. Feed my sheep, yea, feed my little lambs." And all those listening to Jesus' words departed, shouting praises of joy to God, for all they had heard and seen.

And it came to pass that one day, Jesus seeing the multitude awaiting him, went up into a mountain . . . And the 12 chosen as apostles came unto him also . . . And Jesus was seated, and lifted up his eyes on his disciples and said unto them:

"Blessed in Holy Spirit and in spirit are the poor of the Brotherhood, for they are the Elect of God, and theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven, wherein they will rule over the sons of man as Kings and Priests.

"Blessed are they that mourn because of all the evil that worketh against the innocent creatures of God, for they shall be comforted.

"Blessed are they who do keep the humane law of love, for they are the meek who shall inherit the earth.

"Blessed are they who do hunger and thirst after all that is righteous and holy, for they shall find Truth and be ever filled.

"Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain and grant mercy, even as gods.

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall know and see God.

"Blessed are the peace-makers, for they shall be called the children of light.

"Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for to the Kingdom of God do they belong....

"Woe unto you that are rich, but greedy-for ye have received in this life your only consolation.

"Woe unto you that are full and share not-for ye shall hunger always.

"Woe unto you that laugh now at the Holy Law-for ye shall mourn and weep.

"Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you-for so did their evil fathers to the false prophets.

"Woe unto the Godless ones, who have no hope, but depend on things that will not happen!

"Woe unto you, whose lust burns like fire in ye, for it shall be insatiable!

"Woe unto you who love intimacy with womankind and marry for unlawful relations, for ye defile the temple of God.

"For truly I tell ye, today such ones will undergo judgment in their lifetime and reap whatsoever they deserveth according to the unholy laws of their god, for Satan punishes the evil seed of the harvest and condemneth their souls to destruction."

And Jesus continued to say unto his disciples: "Lo, ye are the only light of the world, for gross darkness covers the earth as the waters cover the sea, for every nation of men needeth the Holy Law of God, the Light of Salvation and Life. So let thy light shine forth before men of righteous heart, that they may see thy holy works and glorify thy All-Parent Who is in heaven.

"For think not that I am come to destroy the Holy Law or the Prophets or to replace them with new things. Nay, I come to interpret the Law and demonstrate the power of the Law. Truly I say unto you, the Holy Law is Perfect and Superior to every law of man and devils, for no thing can test the Law and succeed, in that the Law testeth all things and proveth all things inferior; for the Law

judgeth man right or wrong, justly and in wisdom of All that is Holy and Pure, wherein all mercy, all love and all power by the grace of God separates the good from the evil, that man may be able to choose the good from the evil and know the right from the wrong, he being a free being and willing subject unto God or Satan.

"This is why I say unto you, Behold, One greater than Moses is here in thy midst, and I give unto you the Highest Law, the perfect and complete law, nay, not a new law, but an old law even as Adam and Enoch and Noah did receive. Yea, this law did the Prophets and Elect believe, and it continued up till John; it changeth not, but remaineth true in form and detail, even this Law of Love shall ye obey.

"Know ye that my holy remnant among men, even of every nation, receiveth my law and do give it unto their sons and their sons' sons, even as the Holy Brotherhood of My Elect which ye knoweth sent John forth among sinners. Know ye also, they who believe and obey my Holy Laws, surely save their souls, and they who obey not, lose them.

"Ye have heard that it hath been said many times, Thou shalt love thy neighbors and hate thine enemies. But I say unto those, which hear my voice, Love your enemies, and do good to them which hate you. Also, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which spitefully use you. Only in this way, ye may be called the children of light, and followers of the holy way.

"For does not your Parent Who is in heaven, maketh the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth the rain on the just and the unjust alike? For if ye love them only which love you, what reward have ye? For sinners also love those that love them. And if ye work good to them only which work good to you, what reward have ye? For sinners even work the same.

"And if a life desire be unto thee, and it turn thee from the light, cast it out from thee, for it is better to go through life possessing the light of truth, than losing it, and be cast into the outer darkness, where there is no light or truth.

"Be ye therefore, complete in the Holy Law, even as your Parent Who is in heaven is complete and all perfect, and so giveth the Law to ye....For only the Law leadeth to life and health and peace, but all else leadeth to sickness and sorrow and death. Hold back not the light, yea, feed my sheep."

And Jesus continued, saying: "Take warning, that ye do not

your alms before men, only to be seen of them; otherwise ye have no reward of your heavenly Parent, Who knoweth the hearts of men and every secret thing. But when thou givest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth, and take ye notice that these alms may be secret; and the Secret One which seeth in secret shall bless thee openly.

"And I say unto you, Except ye fast from the world and its evil ways and every lust, ye shall in no wise ever find the Kingdom; and except ye keep the seventh day Holy and honor the same Sabbath as thy forefathers the Prophets, ye shall not see the Father-Mother in heaven. For even as it is written, some shall not follow the orders of Uriel and they shall keep the Sabbath unto the sign of the full moon and sin, neglecting the appointed times of the sun and the seasons, and they shall lead astray many in observing the holy days; and the Sabbath will be profaned; for it is written by the hand of Enoch the holy calendar of Mine Elect to time immemorial.

"Also, lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where decay and rust corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal; but rather, lay up for yourselves treasure in heaven, where neither rust nor rot doth corrupt. For surely where your treasure is, there will your heart be also, for out of the heart cometh forth all desire for good or for evil things.

"For truly I tell ye, the world liveth without hope of better things, but look only to the morrow for that which they do not today. Yea, the vanities of the world are as the sands of the desert and just as lonely and empty. But whosoever placeth all hope on me shall not come to disappointment but be satisfied and filled, for I am the Hope of the world, the Holy Promise of better things for those of the Pure Oblation. Hope ye, then, in me and my law and ye shall see life eternal in all its fulfillment and glory. Yea, shepherd my flock and give unto them the All-Hope, even as I have given unto you. Nurse ye my little lambs, even every one thirsting and hungering for the Hope and the truth that leadeth to life."

And one of Jesus' disciples asked him, saying, "Lord and Master of all wisdom from above, tell us, please, the origin of the world, is it as the philosophers say it is?"

And Jesus said unto him and all the others who had open ears, "Truly I say unto ye all this day, things are not always as they

appear to the one beholding, for one says the world came into being by itself, without a god and without a creator, and another says the world came into being by fate, and still another says by providence, but I tell ye, all three speak not the word of truth, as not one speaks of the true origin of the world, for no man knoweth of the origin, lest the Son of Man revealeth the mystery."

And Jesus revealed the mystery only unto his disciples in secret, and when they heard the mystery, they were astonished. And Jesus said unto them, "Speak not this mystery to any man, lest he seeketh the all-truth and be of the children of light, for such is not for the unwise of the world to behold."

And Jesus continued teaching the multitude surrounding him, and they listened attentively to all he spoke. And he said unto them:

"Know ye, the lamps of the body of man are the eyes; if therefore thy sight be clear and perfect, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eyes be dim or shut and perceiveth not the light, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. And how great is that darkness, that Satan bringeth upon them who reject the light!

"For I tell ye, Satan blindeth the minds of the unbelievers that the light reacheth not their eyes, for many wonders doeth the evil one work to mislead and deceive the faithless ones. But the sheep knoweth the light from the darkness, and they cometh out of the darkness into the light, for they belong not to Satan's harvest. Yea, the righteous seed knoweth their own root and listen to the good shepherd whenever he calleth them by name.

"Therefore I say unto you, Be not over-worried for your life, as to what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; not yet for your body, as to what ye shall put on. For is not the life you received freely, more valuable than food and the body more so than clothing? For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and yet lose his life?

"I tell ye this, Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Parent feedeth them all . . . Consider- also the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. And yet I say unto you, Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Yea, observe ye the patience and endurance of every creature of God

and ye shall learn of the true value of thy life and its worth, for the world looketh after things the body needeth not, and humankind is made slaves unto Satan's ignorance, for after every lust, man striveth in vain and hastens to his grave.

"Know ye not the All-Parent seeth thy ways by day and by night, and knoweth what thou needeth for thy health and thy body and thy everlasting life? O ye of little faith, I tell ye again, be not over-worried, saying 'What shall we eat or drink, or how shall we be clothed?' For all these things the unlearned seek and are anxious for them, and on account of their anxiety, they eat and drink at the table of demons. For I tell ye truly, and believe, Satan yields a sword of seven evils, and the sword is the father of all.

The mind conceiveth through Satan, and brings forth bloodshed, first; ruin, secondly; tribulation, thirdly; captivity, fourthly; dearth, fifthly; panic, sixthly; and destruction, seventhly.

"Seek ye not, then, of Satan's evils; share not his table, decked with rich foods, taken by the sword, where life has been taken and blood has been spilled. Eat ye the simple foods of the field, that are lawful unto ye. Neither drink ye the product of the vine, and lose thy senses, for whosoever drinketh wine no longer owns his soul, but giveth it unto Satan for every foul deed. Drink ye the waters of life, and every pure drink of the fruitage of trees, and touch ye not the strong or sour drink that leadeth to sin.

"Worry not for the morrow, for each day bringeth enough blessing for the righteous man of God, lest ye put thy God to the test and sin greatly against His Holy Laws....For if ye seek first the Holy Law of the Kingdom of God, ye shall know what the righteous man is, and every other thing shall be added unto you.

"For truly I tell ye, look not and worry not, where there be no need, for faith giveth all unto the patient of God, for sufficient unto one day at a time is the evil and the needs thereof. Why do ye seek in advance, such things, when thou hast yet to finish this day before ye? Seek them not, but live accordingly to thy needs of the hour. Therefore, have ye faith in my words, for without faith, it is impossible to know thy All-Parent Who is in heaven. For they who doubt the Son of God, know not the Father nor the Mother, and are without faith and without hope and already as if dead."

"I tell ye also, to Judge not, that ye be not judged, for only the Son of Man judges the soul of each man according to his works and his knowledge. For how are ye to judge a wiser man than thyself, if this man understandeth the Holy Law, and ye do not? For surely the ignorant, without wisdom from God, judgeth the righteous evil, and the evil righteous, for if a man knoweth not his own root, how shall he judge another?

"Let this man first come to know his own soul, before he passeth judgment on his brother, lest he defile the Holy Law and himself. For the law is judge unto all, and no man can place himself above the law, lest he sin. Thus, I say unto ye, the law is holy; give it not to the unworthy, neither cast these truths before the wicked, lest they trample them, like precious pearls, under feet of unknowing swine, and do turn again and rend you.

"Yea, even as the evil one did entertain the impossible thought and said, 'I shall raise my throne above the Holy Law and be greater than the Eternal All;' and every evil came unto the world. Be ye not like Satan, who deceiveth minds and corrupted God's Holy Law, dreaming impossible dreams that prove every evil and lie cometh forth from unholy men and demons. For the Law is perfect and true and any man whosoever deviates from the law, departs from the light and entereth into all darkness.

"If ye truly seek the truth and the fine pearl of salvation, ask humbly before thy God and it shall be given you; be ye humble in heart and in spirit, and all holy things shall be added unto you. For what brother among ye, asketh God for mercy and receiveth it not, and what sister among ye, asketh God for modesty and receiveth it not, so shall every fruit of the Spirit be given unto ye, if ye ask with humble heart.

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and ye shall be blessed of God and be children of Light. Therefore, I tell ye also, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them, and what ye would not that any creature should do unto you, do ye not unto them-for this is the Law of Love that the Prophets before me spake unto your forefathers. Keep ye this law and ye will find eternal life, for no other law is greater than love, for the law is love unto them obeying its sayings.

"Yea, enter ye in at the holy gate to life, for the beginning of the road is the holy law and narrow is the gate unto it, whereby only the righteous shall enter in. However, few there be that find the way, for wide is the gate unto death, and broad is the road that leadeth to wickedness and many go in and return not."

And Jesus continued to say many other things to the disciples on the mount, and great was the number who heard his words.

And he went on saying to them:

"Do ye beware of false prophets, who indeed come unto you in sheep's clothing, pretending to be innocent and harmless as sheep, but inwardly are ravening wolves, with appetites lusting after the blood and flesh of innocent creatures. Yea, their hands are dripping with blood and they boast in their evil and say it is good and deceive many at the entrance of the gate. Ye shall know them by their works, for though they speak love, they give only hate and by their fruits ye shall readily know their true root-for it is they who call truth a lie, and the lie, truth.

"For do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? So shall it be, that every good tree bringeth forth holy fruit, but a corrupt tree bringeth forth only evil fruit. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know the good from the evil. Beware lest ye be misled and find not the tree of life....

"For many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy Name . . . And in thy Name done many wonderful works? But I will say unto them, 'I never knew you: depart from me, false witnesses, ye that work only evil things."

And Jesus said unto the people many other things as written for a testimony unto all nations. And when he had finished his sermon on the mountain, the people were astonished at his great perception of all things, for Jesus taught them as one appealing to reason and the human heart, and not as the scribes and the Pharisees, who taught only by blind authority.

And it came to pass, in the course of Jesus' travels, he came upon a place near Tiberias where can be found seven wells, and there a young man brought live rabbits and pigeons, that he might eat as food with his companions. And Jesus beholding the young man, looked upon him with much concern and said unto him:

"I do perceive thou hast a good heart and God shall surely give thee the light of the law. But knowest thou not that God in the beginning gave man the fruits of the earth for food, and did not make him lower than the ape, or the ox, or the horse, or the sheep, that he should kill and eat the flesh and blood of his fellow creatures?

"For in the beginning all beasts of the field and fowl of the air and the fishes of the sea, were as the ape, the ox, the horse, and the sheep-eating the green vegetation of the earth. But ye believe that Moses commanded such creatures to be slain and offered as a sacrifice unto God and eaten. Ye believe wrongly; ye do not know of temple oblations; for at no time did the True God delight in or demand flesh and blood offerings, but only the Pure Oblation--the unbloody sacrifice of man's obedience to His Holy Law.

"For Abel offered up the grains and fruits of the earth, but God required only Abel's keeping the holy law: for the pure oblation is from the heart of man, that he seeketh after truth and righteousness and pure worship of the Eternal All.

"But I tell ye: Satan, the evil one, maketh the truth a lie, and giveth to the sons of man, flesh and blood, the burnt offering, the unholy law of evil doers, things that my Holy Father hateth and abhorreth. Know ye not, before ye standeth a one greater than even Moses! Yea, even the holy one, who Moses spake of is here and restoreth the truth of the law, that all may for a certainty know that God is True and every man whosoever keepeth not the Holy Law is a liar.

"For I tell ye, the holy law of Moses and Adam are one; even as my Prophets spake unto Israel, I speak. The Holy Law changeth not, but evil men speak according to their desires of the flesh and lust after things unlawful. For of that which ye offer unto God in purity, ye may eat of freely, for it is lawful, but of that kind which ye offer not in purity, shall ye not eat. The hour cometh when all

sacrifices and blood feasts shall cease, and ye shall again worship God according to holy law and a pure oblation."

And the young man marvelled at Jesus' words, for he knew not the likeness of them at any time, and he said unto Jesus, "Ye speak much truth, I knoweth not before this day. Please, Lord, continue, I do believe ye come in the spirit of Moses."

And Jesus said unto him, "Ye listen well, may all peace be added unto ye. Now, let these innocent creatures go free, that they may rejoice in God and bring no blood guilt to any man."

And the young man did as Jesus told him, and did set the rabbits and pigeons free. And Jesus helped the young man break their bonds and destroyed their cages.

But lo, the frightened creatures feared lest they should again be taken captive and moved not away from them. But Jesus spake unto them in a certain way, and told them they were free to move on. And the creatures of God did indeed obey Jesus' voice and quickly departed in all gladness, free again to continue life. And the young man and some of his companions stayed on to listen to Jesus' words.

And at that same time as they sat by the well . . . Jesus stood up and cried out for all to hear: "If any are thirsty, let them come unto me and drink, for I will give to them of the waters of life freely. For they who believe in me, out of their hearts shall flow rivers of water, and that which is given unto them, shall they give even unto others with power, for their truth shall be as living waters to all that thirst, like a well from God, springing up into everlasting life for all that obey the Holy Laws."

And it came to pass that John the Baptist was inquiring of Jesus, asking if he were the one that the holy prophets spoke of for a certainty, or would there be another. And Jesus' answer was:

"Behold, John my beloved, the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and to the poor the holy law is preached." And John did know for sure, that Jesus was the Holy One he had prepared the way for. And John's heart was glad and he rejoiced in the good news of the Christ and his soul was satisfied, and he offered words of praise to God in the

Heights and thanked God for his Kindness and Grace upon earthly man.

And Jesus told his disciples of John, saying, "For I say unto you, Among those that are born of woman, from Adam until John, there is not a greater humane prophet than John the Baptist. And yet, I say unto you, whichever one of you comes to be a child of God, shall acquire the Kingdom and shall be greater than John." And many people heard Jesus' words, but the Pharisees and some others rejected these words, being not baptized of John, and they became agitated at Jesus' goodness.

And Jesus gathered unto himself the Holy Twelve, even his apostles after his Name, that he might send them forth unto Israel. And the names of the Holy Twelve who stood for the 12 tribes of Israel are these: Peter, called Cephas, for the tribe of Reuben; James, for the tribe of Naphtali; Thomas, called Dydimus, for the tribe of Judah; Matthew, called Levi, for the tribe of Gad; John, for the tribe of Ephraim; Simon, for the tribe of Issachar; Andrew, for the tribe of Joseph; Nathanael, for the tribe of Simeon; Thaddeus, for the tribe of Zebulun; Jacob (James), for the tribe of Benjamin; Jude, for the tribe of Dan; Philip, for the tribe of Asher; and Judas Iscariot, who was among the disciples, but was not an Apostle; and also Barsabbas and Matthias were present with them.

Then, Jesus in like manner called forth 12 others to be Prophets from among the Holy Brotherhood, the Essene Elect, saints, men of light, to be with the Apostles and shew unto them the hidden things of God. And their names were Hermes, Aristobulus, Selenius, Nereus, Apollos, and Barsabbas; also, Andronicus, Lucius, Apelles, Zachaeus, Urbanus and Clementos.

And then Jesus called who should be Evangelists, and 12 who should be Pastors. A four-fold 12 did he call....And many others he would send unto the people of the nations, that they might hear also the truths of the righteous Brotherhood.

And after a time, Jesus went up into a mountain and prayed and did meditate on the good work ahead, for the time had arrived to make ready many disciples in truth of the holy law, for they would be sent out into the world as testimony to the holy way of

life. And Jesus would give them power against unclean spirits and demons, and physical health reform.

Yea, a fourfold 12 did Jesus call forth and prepare, that he might send them first to the tribes of Israel, unto each four. And Jesus spake many things unto his chosen ones for the missions ahead, and every mystery of the holy way was revealed unto them. And the chosen ones accepted the calling, and listened to every word Jesus spake unto them, for Jesus promised to be with them in all their trials and tribulations and in all their rejoicing in the teaching of the holy way.

And after a time when all had been chosen and made ready by instructions of Jesus, they all together stood around the Christ, dressed in white linen robes, even assembled to be a holy priesthood unto God....

Thus, these fourfold 12 Jesus did send forth and granted them every authority, saying: "I will that ye be 12 apostles, with your companions, for a testimony unto Israel. Therefore, Go ye first unto the cities of Israel, and to the lost sheep of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying unto those men with hearing ears, The Kingdom of Heaven is nigh and in your midst. And even as I have baptized you in water, so also, baptize ye them who have faith and believe. For ye are given power to anoint and heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils, and even raise the dead if need be.

"Remember, freely ye have received, so also freely give in turn. Accept no money for thy service, lest ye insult the Christ, who sent ye forth. Also provide neither gold, nor silver, nor precious metal in your own purse, nay, nor scrip for your travels, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves, for the workman is truly worthy of his food and shall be provided for wheresoever he goeth.

"And eat all that which is given unto you by strangers, but of that which is gotten by bloodshed, by the taking of life, touch nor eat not, for it is not lawful to you. Nor sit ye with them who eat such things, lest ye be counted unworthy by the law.

"Be ye also wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Be ye always humane and innocent, and undefiled before God. The Son of Man is not come to destroy, but to save, nor has he come to take life of man or beast, but to give life to body and soul. For I tell ye truly, fear not them which can surely kill the body of flesh, the outer garment of man, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both body and soul in Gehenna.

"For the evil one seeks to destroy the Elect of God; even as

Adam was sought after, so shall ye be sought after and tempted. Be ye not taken in by smooth talk or promises of glory, even as Adam was led astray and many prophets, for this one seeks only that ye be blotted out of the book of life; be on guard therefore, lest ye be fooled and transgress the Holy Law. Whosoever therefore shall confess the truth before men, them I will confess also before my Parent Who is in Heaven. But whosoever shall deny or pervert truth before men, them will I also openly deny before my Parent Who is in Heaven.

"For verily I tell ye, they who taketh not their stake and follow me, are not worthy of me, for he that findeth his life, shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall surely find it again; for I come to conquer all death for all time, and I am the love, the life and the law of God. They who believeth in me shall never know death at all, for death is the end for wicked men, but has no power over the righteous."

And after these and many other things were spoken and said, Jesus appointed two and 70 also, well versed in the 72 languages of mankind, and did send them two and two with his authority into every city and place where Jesus himself had before preached the holy law unto the nations of the earth.

And Jesus spake unto them concerning Babel, saying: "Know ye the evil one did confuse the pure language of man, even of Adam and Enoch, and constructed a temple wherein the true prophet of God spake not unto the people. For Babel meaneth confusion, even as Satan is god of every disorder. So have many languages come into being to mislead the righteous, for this one hateth the word of God and seeketh the unholy tongues which keepeth man in confusion and ignorance of the Holy Law. For thy God is One God, not of disorder but of All Peace.

"Go ye therefore unto the nations and speak unto them the truth and wisdom of the only True God, even our Eternal Father Who art in Heaven. Yea, go your many different ways, and behold I send ye forth as innocent lambs among unfed wolves. Be ye warned, that every form of evil desire shall Satan aim against ye, for truth this one hateth and twisteth into a lie and deceiveth many. Therefore trust no man nor salute no man by the way, but trust only in the angel of the Lord, who shall guide ye and minister unto ye always.

"And into whatsoever place ye enter, say first, 'Peace be to this place or household.' And if the spirit of peace be there, then

allow your peace to rest upon it; if not, your peace shall come back unto you. Speak ye with any who loveth righteousness and seeketh after the holy things of God, but speak not holy things with men of wicked heart, lest ye cast truth before devils that mock....

"And when some receive ye, eat such things as are set before you without the taking of life, always making thyself an example of the holy way-for if some offer thee flesh of animals, speak ye the truth of such foul things that they know the good from the evil. And work good works, by healing their spiritual and physical ills, and saying unto them, 'The Kingdom of God is come nigh unto you this day.'

"And in their home remain, teaching the holy way of life to all within, but always eating and drinking such things as they give unto you without the shedding of blood or dullness of senses.

"And continue to preach in the public squares and in every house of worship wherein ye are welcome. Be ye not peddlers of the truths of God, for precious are the gems, devils and evil men would trample upon. Therefore, go ye not from house to house as the merchant doth, imagining greatness of things which are not great but small in the eyes of God, for God knoweth the sheep and the sheep heareth His voice and come out from darkness.

"For I say unto ye all, the Perfect Father perceives the hearts of men and sendeth His Holy Angels as messengers to guide thy steps and maketh the roadway before thee. Ye bringeth the truth unto men, but mine angels separate the sheep from the goats and leadeth you in all things.

"Cast not the Christ before devils, lest they trample Him under foot, and bring shame to thy All-Parent in Heaven....For the fine pearl is Christ, but the poor in spirit only receive Him. Yea, the worldly wise seek only the vanity of the world and corrupt themselves by it, for they seek not the All-Truth which leadeth to life eternal, but the empty sayings of men, which leadeth to sin and death.

"Be ye fishers of men and cast thy nets for the riches of Heaven, in that ye become not crude tools of Satan, but fine instruments of Christ, ever seeking the lost sheep of God, scattered about in every nation of man, even as the waters cover the sea basins. For I tell ye, truly, Satan also gathers seed into the evil harvest, and whatsoever Satan gathereth, he keepeth and claimeth victory over the good. But I say unto ye all, whatsoever this one doeth, leave it be, for authority is granted the evil one to gather seed, even as the Holy Angels gather the righteous seed of God, over whom Satan hath no power.

"Yea, Holy Angels knoweth the seed of God and leadeth you unto every one of them, but ye shall feed my sheep with the truths of the Kingdom. And if any man deny to feed the sheep of the true fold, he shall not inherit the blessings laid down even from the foundation of the world. Go, and feed the lost sheep, even Israel -- every nation of men who love righteousness and the pure oblation teach unto them all I have taught unto you. If they be of the true fold, they will listen unto thy voice and know that ye speak in the Christ.

"But into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same and say, 'Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you; notwithstanding be ye certain, that the Kingdom of God is come nigh unto you, but ye have rejected it.' For those of these cities that hear you, hear me also; and they that despise you, despise me also, and they that despise me, despise Him that sent me. But let all be persuaded in their own minds, for by their evil, will they be judged, and by their good rewarded.

"Be ye merciful with every nation of people and at all times be ye patient, in order that ye shall obtain mercy also. Forgive others freely, so ye shall be forgiven in like manner. Remember always, with what measure ye mete, with the same it be meted unto you also. For as ye do unto others, so shall it be done unto you. As ye give, so shall

it be given unto you. As ye judge others, so ye be judged. As ye serve others, so shall ye be served.

"Speak not a harsh word ever, nor belittle those below you in wisdom. For God is just, and rewardeth every one according to their works, good and bad, for that which they sow, they shall also reap. Go therefore out unto the nations and speak truth to them of the Christ, even all that I have told ye. Yea, teach them the holy way of life; for I tell ye truly, all must be humane to be worthy of me and learn of the mysteries of God. My peace be with thee, one and all, till the consummation of the wicked age; I am with thee in all things. For all things must see fulfillment and be fulfilled in order that truth be made manifest in the world and ignorance be put to shame; for although ye be in the world, ye are not part of the world. For the time cometh when all falsehood shall be uncovered and the True God vindicated of the unworthy sayings of man."

And the disciples of Jesus did journey into every land far away-into Egypt, into Persia, into India-and into every land where Jesus had healed the spiritual and physical ills of the people. And surely did Jesus keep his word unto them, that disciples of light would come and teach the holy way of life. And all of Israel was given testimony of the truth....And every nation of earth did receive the Holy Law and did learn of the Christ and the Father/Mother of all creation.

And it came to pass that after Jesus had done and said many other things, multitudes began to follow him wherever he traveled hither or thither, and it was difficult for Jesus and his disciples to be alone. But Jesus was moved with compassion toward them, because he realized they were as sheep having not a shepherd to care for their needs.

So it was, that one day Jesus and some of the disciples departed for a deserted place; but even here the people followed, for want of Jesus' words. And it was at this time, Jesus and the disciples wanted to eat and rest. And Jesus said unto them, Give them also to eat. But the disciples answered, How shall this be, we have only six loaves, and seven clusters of grapes.

And Jesus commanded them to make all sit down by divisions

of 50. And when he had taken of the six loaves and the seven clusters of grapes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and the grapes also, and gave them to his disciples. And they divided them among them all, and they did all eat, and were filled . . . Some 5000 men, women and children . . .

And lo, they took up 12 baskets full of fragments that were left over. And Jesus taught them the meaning of the Holy Law, and when the people had seen the miracle and heard his sayings, they were filled with great joy, and said, "Truly, this is that Prophet even Moses spake of, this Jesus of Nazareth."

The following day . . . Many of the 5000 fed with the loaves and the grapes, were again seeking Jesus, and when they had found him . . . Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves and the fruit and were filled. But I say to ye, this day, work not for the food which perisheth, but rather for that food which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man, Who is also the Child of God, shall give unto you."

Then they said unto Jesus, "What shall we do that we may work for this food you speak of?" And Jesus answered and said unto them, "This is the work of God, that ye believe the truth of the Holy Law in me, and who I am, for it is I only, who giveth it unto you, yea, the holy truth and the way to Life."

And they said unto Jesus, "What sign shewest thou then, that we may see and believe thee? For our forefathers did eat manna in the desert, even bread from heaven."

Then Jesus said unto them, "Truly, I say unto you, Moses gave you not the true bread from heaven, but my Parent giveth you now the true bread from heaven and the fruit of the living vine. For I am that food of God which cometh down from heaven and giveth life unto the world . . . I am the true Bread, I am the living Vine, the same am I that appeared unto Adam and promised his deliverance. For they that come to me shall never hunger, and they that believe on me shall never thirst. And verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh and drink the blood of God, ye have no life in you....For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of God who sent me. For His will is, that of all who are given unto me f should lose none, but should raise them up again."

And some of the Jews murmured at him, because he said, 'I'm the bread which cometh down from heaven,' for the Jews be-

lieved not in him, but were envious of his good works. But Jesus knowing their hard hearts, answered and said unto them, "Murmur ye not among yourselves, for none can come to me, except Holy Love and Holy Wisdom draw them, and these shall rise again. For it is written in the Prophets, 'They shall be all taught of God.' Therefore I say unto ye, every man who hath heard and hath learned the Truth of the Holy Law, cometh quickly, indeed unto me . . . For they who believe my laws have everlasting life."

"That is why I am the true Bread and the living Vine. Yea, Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, but are dead. But this is the food of God which cometh down from heaven, that whosoever eat thereof, shall not die-for I am the living food which came down from heaven; if any eat of this food they shall live forever. For know ye, that the Holy Bread that I will give is My Law and the Vine which I will give is my life."

And again the Jews murmured and questioned among themselves: "How can this man give us himself for food? Surely this man speaks foolish things to grown men."

But again Jesus answered them and said: "Think ye that I speak of the eating of flesh, which ye ignorantly do in the Temple of God? Indeed, Ye think evil things, for, lo, my body is the substance of God, and this is meat indeed, and my blood is the life of God, and is drink indeed. I say to ye then, think ye not therefore of flesh and blood, as your ancestors, who lusted for flesh, and flesh they did receive and eat of corruption till it stank in the nostrils, and their carcasses fell by the thousand in the wilderness by reason of the plague. For of such ones it is written, 'They shall wander a Jubilee, nine and 40 years in the wilderness till they are purified from their lusts, ere they enter the land of rest, yea seven times seven years shall they wander because they have not known My Holy Ways, neither obeyed My Holy Laws.'

"Thus, I say unto ye, they who eat this holy flesh, and drink this holy blood dwell in me and I in them . . . As the Father-Mother of life hath sent me, and by Whom I live, so they that eat of me, who am the law and the life, even they shall live by me. For I came down from heaven as the living law in the flesh and my blood imparts eternal life to all who obey. Let them with ears hear and with eyes

see, for it is I before you this day who giveth such holy things freely unto the sons of man."

But some of Jesus' disciples understood not the meaning of Jesus' words, and reasoned that this was a difficult saying and who can understand it? For they could not realize that Jesus was the living bread that gives life, for they imagined blood sacrifices the Pharisees offered at the Temple out of lawlessness and ignorance. For great was the number of innocent animals slaughtered and offered up to God in place of the Pure Oblation, and great was the blood-guilt and evil of their ways, for God at no time desired bloodshed, but only obedience to His Laws and the sacrifice of good works and a pure heart.

Jesus, knowing some of his disciples believed in him not as the living bread came down from heaven, said unto them: "Do these words offend you? Do ye not know that it is the spirit that quickeneth, and that flesh and blood profiteth nothing? My words are spirit and they are life. Yea, for so great a time, ye have been subjected to mere doctrines of men and devils, for ye know not the lie from the truth, and ye believe not truth when spoken-for if ye believe not the Son of Man, who hath been sent from heaven to work many great things, then who shall ye believe or hearken to? For I tell ye, this day, there are some among you that claimeth to be my disciples, but believe not in my words, and understand not the holy truths of God, for truth is not in ye, lest ye would know me and my words." From that day on, many of his disciples left off and walked no more with Jesus, for the all-truth was not in them, nor did they prove to be righteous seed.

Then Jesus said unto all those disciples remaining, "Will ye also depart from me?" But Simon Peter who was among them, answered Jesus and said, "Lord, and Master of the Holy Law, to whom shall we go? For truly thou hast the words of everlasting life; and we do believe and we are for a certainty sure that thou art the Christ. We doubt not, that thou art a Son of the Living and only True God."

And it was later as Jesus sat at supper with his disciples, that one of them said unto him: "Holy Lord, I knowest what thou sayest, that thou wilt give thy flesh to eat and thy blood to drink, but for many it is a difficult saying. Tell us therefore, Lord, more of this saying that all of us may understand."

And Jesus, looking upon them and knowing their humble and contrite spirit, said unto them: "The words which I spoke unto you before, are Spirit and they are Life. But to the ignorant and carnally minded, they savour of bloodshed and death. But I say unto you, blessed are they who do understand the truthful meaning.

"Behold, I shall explain that ye shall know the all. Ye know of the corn which groweth up into ripeness and is harvested, and then ground in the mill, and baked with fire into bread; of this is my body made, which ye see this night. And ye also know of the grapes which grow on the vine unto ripeness, and are plucked and crushed in the winepress and so yield the fruit of the vine-of this fruit of the vine and of water is made my blood. For thine own eyes bear witness of me, that the Son of Man partaketh only of the fruits of the trees and the seeds of the herbs, as his food, and these are changed by the Spirit into my flesh and my blood. And of these alone and their like shall ye eat also, for whoso believe in me are my true disciples, for of these simple foods, in the Spirit, come life and health and every kind of healing unto man.

"Therefore as in the natural laws of nature so in the spiritual laws of the ALL, my doctrine and my life shall be food and drink unto you-the bread of Life and the Vine of Salvation. For as in nature the corn and the grape are transmuted into flesh and blood, so must your natural minds be changed into spiritual minds. For again I verily say unto you, in the beginning, all creatures of God did find their sustenance in the herbs and the fruits of the earth alone, but the evil one turned many from the use which God had given them, to that which was contrary to their original use. For the eating of flesh and blood of both animals and man, Satan the god of this world did introduce unto man and beast alike. For I say unto you, not only did Satan incite man to eat man and animal alike, but also incited the very beasts to devour one another. But even the beasts shall yet return to their natural food, as it is written in the Prophets, and most truly their words shall not fail.

"So be ye not like the ignorant without God's law, for they imagine that only blood will wash them clean of sins, even as they eat the flesh of their innocent victims. But such ones are from their father Satan, and desire not the truth of my commandments.

"Know ye, now, what I say unto thee, Keep my commandments and be ye humane and live the righteous life, and happy and healthy shall ye be in this life, and in that which is to come. Marvel

not therefore, that I said unto you, Except ye eat the flesh and drink the blood of God, ye have no life in you. For it is said, the meek and the humble shall inherit the earth, yea, even all they who seek the humane life among the creatures of God . . . for I am the Holy Law come down from heaven that whosoever eateth of my table and obey, the same eateth of my body, the bread of life; and whosoever drinketh of my blood, the rivers and streams of purifying waters, shall not know death at all. For I am the Law and the Life and the Way: imparting eternal life unto the righteous sons of man."

And the disciples now understanding the meaning of Jesus' words, said unto him, "Holy Lord, we do indeed now know; evermore give us to eat of this bread, and to drink of this cup, for thy truths are meat and drink unto us; and by thy Substance may we live forever according to thy promise."

And it came to pass that Jesus was again teaching his disciples in the outer courtyard of the Temple, and one of them said unto him: "Master and Lord of all knowledge, please tell us of this saying among the priests of the Temple, for they say that without shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins. Can then the blood offerings of the law they obey, take away sin and wash clean?"

And Jesus, knowing that the law of Moses was corrupted by the scribes, who even Jeremiah and Isaiah spoke of, said unto his disciples these words: "See ye, the Temple, the house of God, daily ye know that thousands of innocents are slain and offered up, and their flesh consumed by men as unlawful food; and yet the Prophets cried out with loud voice that no blood offering, of beast or bird, or man or woman, can take away or wash sin clean! For I say unto ye, how can the conscience be purified from sin by the shedding of innocent blood? Nay, it will only increase the condemnation, for it is sin against the holy law God giveth first unto Adam, Enoch and Noah. Save by repentence and amendment only, there can be no remission of sins!

"For the prophet wrote: 'Put your blood sacrifices to your burnt offerings, and away with them, and cease ye from the eating of flesh, for I spake not to your fathers, nor commanded them, when I brought them out of Egypt, concerning these things. But this thing

I commanded saying: Obey my voice and walk in the Holy Laws that I have commanded you, and ye shall be my people . . . But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear.'

"And what doth the Eternal Being command to you also, but to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with your God? This indeed is the pure oblation! For is it not written that in the beginning God ordained the fruits of the trees and seeds and the herbs to be food for all flesh? Yea, it is written, but they have made the House of Prayer, a den of thieves and merchants, and for the Pure Oblation with Incense, they have polluted My altars with blood, and eaten of the flesh of the slain! So, I say unto you now: Shed no innocent blood nor eat ye flesh ever, but walk uprightly, love mercy, and do justly, for if ye be humane and keep my laws and commands, your days shall be long and pleasant in the earth; and good health shall cling unto you even into old age of many years. For behold, the corn that groweth . . . with the other grain, is it not transmuted by the Spirit into my flesh? Behold the grapes . . . with the other fruits of the earth, are they not transmuted by the Spirit into my blood?

"Let these then, with your own bodies and souls be your Memorial to the Eternal All . . . For in these only is the presence of God manifest as the Substance and as the Life of the world. I tell ye, therefore, of these shall ye freely eat and drink for the remission of sins, and for the eternal life ahead."

And the disciples were now well pleased with Jesus' answer, and praised him greatly and said, "So let your words come to pass, Master and Lord, for we do believe you to be the only hope of the world, for you alone speak such things of great mercy and love for all the creatures of God."

And at another time while Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, he came upon a camel overladen with wood, and the beast could move no further up the hill. And Jesus looked upon the driver who did beat him mercilessly and cruelly, but even the severe blows would not make the camel move one step further.

Jesus, disturbed at the ill treatment of this poor innocent beast, said unto the driver: "Wherefore beatest thou, thy poor brother?" And the man answered Jesus and said, "I know not that

he is my brother, for is he not only a beast of burden, and made to serve me?"

But Jesus said unto him, "Hath not the Eternal Father in heaven made of the same substance, thy camel and also thy children who serve thee; and have ye not one breath of life which ye have both received from above? Know ye not, that man was to serve the beast ye so mercilessly beat and not the beast serve man? For truly, men sow and reap, but the beast knoweth not; think ye, therefore, to show mercy on those weaker than ye in mind, and the True God will return mercy unto thee.

"For by an animal's strength, he is not judged, but the compassion of his master is judged and weighed in the scales. Learn ye the justice and mildness of the righteous, who treat all of God's creatures even as brothers and sisters of the great Household of God, and ye shall greatly be rewarded, for he who treats a poor beast with compassion and kindness even loves his own flesh and cherishes it."

And the man marvelled at Jesus' words and did cease from beating the camel, and did take off some of the wood, and the camel walked up the hill, and stopped no more till he ended his journey. And the camel sensed the great compassion and mercy of Jesus, and the man also was interested in Jesus' doctrines and asked further things in the way of the holy law. And Jesus gladly taught him and told him much of the holy way of life, and the man became one of his disciples, much happier for the experience.

And it came to pass that while Jesus was in the midst of a pasture and many sheep were about, his disciples were asking numerous questions concerning the great work ahead of telling all peoples of Jesus' truths. And one of the disciples, known as Simon Peter, asked Jesus: "Tell us, Master, how are we to serve the people with the same understanding as thou teachest us?"

And Jesus said unto him, "Know ye the Holy Law and its simple meanings?" And Simon Peter answered him saying: "Yea, I understand it well, for thou hast spoken of it many times and demonstrated its power even unto all of thy disciples."

And Jesus said unto him: "Ye know well, for I say unto thee this day, if ye keep my law and my saying, ye shall in no way be

troubled, nor shall ye neglect the sheep of my pasture. For behold these sheep in the field, how they hearken unto their shepherd and hear his voice, even as my sheep hear me and I, them. I tell ye, there-fore, feed my sheep, for the Eternal Father in Heaven and the Holy Mother request it from thee, even as They requested it of me. Feed my sheep, for they await thy word and looketh for the holy way of life, and they are the true seed of Israel, scattered hither and thither among every nation."

And Peter said unto Jesus, "But Master and Lord, how are we to find these lost sheep ye speak of this day, for many are they, but few are we who follow the holy way?"

And Jesus said unto him again: "Peter, Feed my sheep, for it is requested of you to do so, for I say unto you the Holy Angels have charge over the affairs of men, yea, even over the lives of my sheep, and they will lead thee to the sheep and instruct thee in holy ways; for many indeed are the scattered sheep of Israel, even from all nations under the sun, shall they be gathered and fed. For I say unto thee this day: with the food of the Holy Law shall ye feed them and they shall be satisfied and hunger no more. Yea, the bread of life give unto them and the water of life add unto them, one and all. Behold the young lambs, innocent and pure and without sin or guile, see how they listen to the sound of their master in charge. So also, my sheep shall listen to thy sounds of truth and come forth and be gathered into a great nation, a holy people unto God, after the manner of the Brotherhood wherein all are in peace and love.

"Peter, feed my sheep, that they lack not the holy laws of truth, and thirst not for the waters of eternal life, for it is so written, 'They shall all be taught of God.' Lo! the humble spirit of the sheep! Lo! The meekness of their merciful ways! Lo! the very sheep of my pasture are given into thy hand for safe keeping; protect them from every vile thing and the Eternal Father-Mother in Heaven will rejoice in thy good works and bless thee with much greatness and authority."

And Peter said unto Jesus, "Yea, Master, thy sheep shall be fed even unto the ends of thy earth, for we do believe in thy words as the Good Shepherd over the Flock of God."

And Jesus journeyed again into Galilee and came to a certain tree and fasted and prayed beneath it for many days.

And there came Mary Magdalene and other women wanting of the holy way of life, and they ministered unto Jesus of their sub-stance, and Jesus did teach them of the holy things of God.

And the humane nature of Jesus was manifested greatly, for all the birds gathered around him, and welcomed him with their song, and many other living creatures came unto his feet and did gather around and near him: does, the red fox, sheep, rabbits, squirrels, even skunks and little field mice played about; and Jesus did feed them, and they ate one and all out of his hands.*

*This scene is depicted on the cover of this booklet, and is available in full living color.

And the creatures of the Holy Father did indeed sense the humane Jesus, and were unafraid in his presence, nor did the fox do harm to the weaker animals round about, but was at peace with all.

And the women assembled there were amazed and astonished at what they beheld, and said, "Lo, even the animals and birds respond to Jesus' great loving kindness and mercy; surely this is the Son of the Father, sent from above."

And when Jesus departed from that place, he blessed the women and the creatures of God who shewed love unto him; and turning to the fig tree, he blessed it also, saying:

"Thou hast given me shelter and shade from the burning sun, and with all this, thou hast also given me food. Blessed be thou, holy creation of God and angels; increase and be fruitful, and let all who come to thee, find rest and shade and food, and let the birds of the sky rejoice in thy branches. And behold, the fig tree grew and flourished exceedingly great, and its branches took root downward, and sent shoots upward, and it spread mightily, so that no tree was like unto it for size or beauty, and the over-abundance of its good fruit.

And Jesus said unto the women who watched and were astonished at the sight, "Yea, I say unto ye, even the trees of the earthly mother have ears and hear and have eyes and see the glory of the Son of God, for the Holy Father above all hast delivered unto the earth many forms of life, yea, kingdoms among kingdoms of living creatures, all Holy unto the Lord. Learn ye the mysteries of Life and ye shall have life, know ye the creatures of God, and God shall know ye, and show ye the all of things under His one great Household of Life.

"For I say unto ye truly, this day, from the least of these creatures to the greatest, my Father knows each by name and purpose, for every creature on earth has purpose and life, and man is given power to do them good or evil. Yea, the righteous know the creatures of God and respect their place among the living creation of the vast miracles of nature. Think ye, owe not love to the small ant who builds his home in the sand and cares for the young and feeds them. Think ye this creature is too small for thy concern and mercy? Think ye not wrong of such creatures, for all are of God and share life in the universal plan of the Eternal All. The least is as great as the greatest and the greatest is as great as the least, all being equal under the laws of God, Who giveth life and will to live in every creature on earth.

"Shew mercy unto these small creatures and God shall pour out much mercy on thee, for he who cares for the needs of the least of all creatures, cares for the needs of the Son of man, who came down from heaven to restore every creation unto its root, that the earth may again return to its former glory."

And the women marvelled at the words of Jesus, and said among themselves, "Behold, the Son of the Living God, he cares even for the smallest of thy creatures; by such love and mercy he is indeed the Saviour."

And Jesus hearing the words they spake, said unto them again: "Yea, he who is faithful and caring in small things, shall be greater yet in caring for the interests of my kingdom which is among ye this day; for by humane love shall the meek and humble inherit the blessings stored up for them, and the earth shall be given unto them to rule."

And after saying many other things, Jesus departed from among them and said unto them: "All peace of the earthly angels and the heavenly angels be unto you, yea, seek ye the all-peace of God and every joy shall be added unto thy soul."

And after a time, Jesus entered into a small village where he found a kitten, a young cat, which had none to care for her. And she was hungry and cried unto him for help, and Jesus picked her up, and put her inside his garment, and there she lay in his bosom. And when Jesus came into the village square, he set food and drink before

the cat, and she did eat and drink, and shewed thanks unto him. And Jesus gave the cat unto one of his disciples, who was a widow, whose name was Lorenza, and she took fine care of her. And some of the people in the village said, "This man careth for all creatures, small and great; are they his brothers and sisters that he should love them so?"

And Jesus hearing their words, said unto them: "Verily, these are your fellow creatures of the great Household of the Eternal Being. Yea, they indeed are thy brethren and sisters, and have the same breath of life in the Eternal God, they being precious souls breathing the Spirit of Life, good and holy before God. And I tell ye, truly, whosoever careth for one of the least of these innocent creatures, and giveth it to eat and drink in its need, the same doeth it unto me. And whoso willingly allows one of these my creatures to be in want, and defendeth it not when evilly threatened, the same one allows the evil as if done unto me; for as ye have done wrongly in this life and caused harm to the great Household of God, so shall it be charged against thy soul. For I tell ye truly, the wicked one prepareth a place for the evil and a judgment; and none unrighteous shall escape, for by evil, the evil one judges and condemns the souls of many. How then are ye to flee the judgment of Gehenna if ye ill-treat my innocent creatures? Know ye, blood-guilt of man or beast is the crime of demons, for it originated with the evil one and God is far from those who sin in this manner.

"Flee ye, blood-guilt; but care for the innocent creatures even as ye care for thy own young, whom ye love and cherish. And fall not into the judgment of the evil one, for this one demands an eye for an eye and life for a life; for vengeance and revenge belongeth only to this evil one who claimeth to be like God, but in truth is a liar and the founder of the lie.

"For I tell ye, thy Father-Mother God in heaven seekest not revenge nor to avenge, but is above the thoughts of self-professed false gods who through their ignorance rule the earth in error and in sin. For what relationship hath light with darkness, or how cometh something clean and pure from something unclean and defiled? I tell ye, it cannot be, for the evil one speaks according to the evil of ignorance and bathes in the darkness of self-creation, whereas the holy ones dwell in the unapproachable light, where no darkness cometh near. Yea, evil cometh from evil roots and goodness cometh from holy roots; know ye thy roots and be free from slavery and the bondage of Satan."

And the people in the village were amazed at Jesus' words and wondered greatly of his wisdom of all things, and did take heed and wanted to learn more of the holy way of life . . .

And on another occasion, some of Jesus' disciples came and told him of a certain Egyptian, a son of Belial (Satan), who taught others that it was lawful to torment and torture animals, if their suffering brought any profit to man. And hearing this report, Jesus said unto them:

"Verily I say unto you, they who participate in and contemplate profits which are gotten by wronging one of God's innocent creatures, cannot be righteous, nay, nor can they be allowed to touch holy things, or even come near to the table of the Lord, nor can they teach the mysteries of the Kingdom. For I tell ye, those whose hands are stained with blood, and whose mouths are defiled with the flesh of innocent creatures, are not worthy of life in this world, nor in the world to come. Let such be born again to the sacred truths of the kingdom or forever be forgotten of God, for by no means will such enter the Kingdom of light, but will remain in darkness due to their blood-guilt.

"Let all know that God giveth the grains and the fruits of the earth for food, both to man and beast, and let no man say he is righteous, if he eat not the lawful sustenance of the body. For truly I tell thee, the robber who breaketh into the house made by man is guilty, but they who break into the house made by God, even of the least of these, are the greatest evil doers.

"Wherefore, I say unto all who desire to be my true disciples, keep your hands from bloodshed and let no flesh meat enter your mouths, for God is just and bountiful, who ordaineth that man shall live by the fruits and seeds of the earth alone.

"But this I also tell ye, if any animal suffer greatly, and if its life be a misery unto it, or if it be dangerous unto you, release it from its life quickly, and with as little pain as possible. But remember ye to send it forth in love and mercy, and only as the last thing done unto it, after all else hath failed ye. For I tell ye, truly, men fear animals in vain, and seek to destroy them out of fear and ignorance, so judge ye not every animal vicious, wrongly, lest ye be destroying the innocent creatures of God in sin.

"Yea, torment them not nor torture them in life or death or for profit of any kind, lest the Eternal Father withdraw His mercy from you. Yea, shew mercy unto them, as ye expect mercy to be shewed unto you; for every beast, small and great, hath been given into your hands and under your care, so remember ye, well, whatsoever ye do unto the least of these my children, ye do it unto me. For I am in them and they are in me, truly-all of them are my creatures of good and holy standing.

"For God cursed not any creature of the earth nor did He curse man, but the evil one bringeth all calamity into the world and did destroy the unity of every kingdom of life. For I tell ye truly, that in all the joys of the animal kingdom, I do rejoice greatly, but in all their afflictions, I am also afflicted. On this account, I say unto you, Be ye humane and kind, one to another, and to all the creatures of God."

And the people were amazed at Jesus' authority to speak such words, for many gathered there were flesh eaters and cruel to their animals, for their ignorance of the Holy Law was great and they realized not how they wronged each other and the creatures of God.

And on another day, the question of eating dead things was again presented, and some of Jesus' newer disciples gathered around him and asked: "Master, ye do indeed know all things, and thy wisdom of the Holy Law excels all others; tell us, therefore, is the eating of sea creatures lawful as some say?"

And Jesus looked upon them with sad eyes, for he knew they were yet unlearned men and their hearts were yet hardened by false doctrines of devils; and he said unto them:

"See ye the fishes of the sea, as we stand beside the seashore and look upon the waters of many lives. Yea, the water is their world, even as the dry land belongeth to man; I ask ye, do the fishes come unto thee and ask of thee for thy dry land or of its foods? Nay, nor is it lawful for thee to go into the sea and ask for things which belong not unto thee; for the earth is divided into three kingdoms of souls-one of the land, one of the air, and one of the sea, each according to its kind. And deposition for the Eternal Being hath given unto them each the Spirit of life and the Holy Breath, and what He giveth freely unto His creatures, neither men nor angels have authority to take back or claim as their own.

"For behold the fisherman, how he takes not what is his own; a thief he is, he stealeth the treasures of the deep and disrupts the holy life of the blessed, for hath not God blessed the sea creatures in the age they were created, and said unto them all: 'Yea, it is Good and Holy, let them have life and bring forth after their kind and let them rejoice in their watery home and sing unto me songs of praise and of much joy and peace.' But the fisherman casts many kinds of food into the waters, because each one of the fish has his own food, and the fish then sees and pursues the food and is snatched up; and the fisherman rejoiceth, because he has caught the unwise fish.

"And most truly I tell ye, Satan, like the fisherman, casts his hooks into ye, for the evil one lies in wait, wishing to seize thee, that he might swallow thee up and rejoice at the catch. For Satan, likened to a fisherman, places many foods before thy eyes, wishing to make thee desirous of them, even if only to taste a little, so that he may seize thee, and bring thee out of light into darkness. Wherefore, I say unto thee, do not be touching the food of Satan, for the wicked one lies in wait for the unwise and the unlearned with many hooks and traps and every kind of net; for if ye be tempted with a single unlawful food, it is necessary for ye to desire all others, and finally, then, such unlawful things become the food of death; and Satan is victorious. Wherefore, Be ye not deceivers as fishermen, men of trickery, nor be eating the catch thereof, for many are they who Satan ensnares with the taste of unlawful things and maketh them partners in death."

And Jesus' disciples were well pleased with Jesus' answer and they remarked of his great understanding of the Holy Laws of God and the workings of Satan the evil one.

And it came to pass, as Jesus was traveling to Jericho, he met a man with a cage overcrowded with birds, which he had caught, and among them were young doves. And Jesus saw how the birds were in misery, having lost their freedom, and moreover being tormented with hunger and thirst.

So, Jesus said unto the man: "What doest thou with these weaker creatures of God?" And the man answered, "I go on my way to make a living, for I sell these birds which I have taken freely of."

And Jesus said unto him, "What thinkest thou, if another man, stronger than thou or with greater craft, were to bind thee and cage thee, or thy wife, or thy children; and throw them into a cage, in

order to sell them into captivity for profit, thus making his living by such? I ask thee, are not these thy fellow creatures, but only weaker than thou art? And doth not the same God, our Father-Mother care for them as for thee? I tell ye, let these thy little brethren and sisters go free, and see that thou do this cruel thing no more, but take up a living of honest means, whereby causing no harm to any of God's innocent creatures."

And the man marvelled at Jesus' words and listened unto him and agreed to let the birds go free. And when the man unbound the birds, they flew unto Jesus and rested upon his shoulder and did sing songs unto him and there they remained for a time until they flew away in freedom. And the man was astonished at the sight he beheld and asked further of Jesus many things, and Jesus did minister unto him for a good part of a day.

And after the man departed, he learnt the craft of making baskets, and did earn his bread honestly and without blood-guilt, with no further harm to God's creatures; and after a time he did destroy his cages and traps, and became a disciple of the Holy Way of life. And in the course of time he also learned of the humane life and did instruct others even in the same instructions, Jesus did teach him by, that all creatures of God were born free and should remain free to live in joy and peace among their own kinds.

And in the course of time, the Holy Twelve apostles did return and regather unto Jesus and did relate unto him the many things of their journeys to the twelve tribes of Israel. And it was at this time when Jesus was sitting near the sea, in a circle of twelve palm trees . . . The chosen twelve and their disciples came unto him. And there they all together sat under the shade of the trees.

And Jesus spake unto them many things . . . And Jesus said unto them, "But whom do ye say that I am now?"

And the apostles in turn answered: "Thou are indeed the Holy Christ, the Son of the True God Eternal, who decendeth from heaven and dwelleth in the hearts of them who believe and obey the Holy Law. For we, thy holy twelve, have worked every good thing in thy Name and it was accomplished, even as ye said unto us in the beginning. Yea, we have been granted authority to heal every sickness Satan the evil one putteth on earth, and yet raise the dead; for even the demons are subject unto us through thy Holy Name!

"And in every place we goeth, the Holy Spirit goeth also, and is there for strength and wisdom in all things. Yea, all things ye spake unto us are true and proven; we have become Sons of the Eternal Father-Mother in heaven for a certainty."

And Jesus said unto them: "Blessed are ye my twelve, who do believe, for flesh and blood hath not revealed these things unto you, but only the Spirit of God which dwelleth within you. For, I indeed am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and the Truth understandeth all things. For I say unto ye, All Truth is in God, and I bear testimony unto the All Truth. I am the true Rock, and on this Rock do I build my Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it, nay, for out of this Rock flow rivers of living water to give life to the peoples of the earth.

"But behold, and beware, there shall arise after you, men of perverse minds who shall through ignorance or through craft, suppress many truths which I have spoken unto you, and lay to me things which I never spoke at all, thereby sowing tares among the good wheat which I have given you to sow in the world.

"Then shall the truth of God endure the contradictions of evil doers . . . But the time cometh when the things which they have hidden, shall be revealed and made known, and the truth shall make free those which were bound by falsehood and enslaved by Satan's deceptions and lies....Woe is the time when the evil spirit of the world entereth into the Church, and my doctrine and precepts are made void through the corruption of men and of women. Yea, woe is the world when the light is hidden and truth abandoned.

"For all these things shall come to pass . . . For many are they who shall trespass against my Holy Laws and seek the laws of the evil one, for they will love the lie and hate the truth and yearn for every evil desire and lust contrary to nature."

And at that time Jesus lifted his voice to heaven and said: "I thank Thee, O most righteous Parent, Creator of Every Perfect Gift, that though these things are hidden from the worldly wise, they are nevertheless revealed unto babes."

"Come, therefore, unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you my rest. Yea, take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek, I am humane, I am the Holy Way, and

then ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is equal and it is easy going, and my burden is light and presseth not unequally; for know ye, that no one knows the Father, lest he know me first. For if ye know me not and reject my laws, ye shall in no way enter into my rest or cometh into peace and joy of life; for my rest is life unto all those who seek after the eternal treasures of heaven and worry not over the vain glories of the world . . ."

After six days, when the Feast of Tabernacles was nigh at hand, Jesus did take the Holy Twelve and did bring them up into a high mountain away from the people, and as he was praying, the fashion of his countenance was changed, and he was transfigured before them, and his face did shine as the sun, and his robe was white as the light.

And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him and speaking of the Holy Law, and of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

And Moses spake, saying, "This is HE of whom I foretold, saying, A prophet from the midst of thy brethren, like unto me shall the Eternal Spirit send unto you, and that which the Eternal Spirit speaketh unto him, shall he speak unto you, and unto him shall ye hearken, and whoso will not obey shall bring upon themselves their own self-willed destruction."

Then Peter said unto Jesus, "Dear Lord, it is good for us to be here; if thou wilt let us make there three tabernacles--one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

But while he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and twelve rays as of the sun issued from the cloud, and a voice came out of the cloud, which said, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him and keep his law."

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly astonished. And Jesus came and touched them and said, "Arise and be not afraid." And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. And the six glories of the eternal spirit, the first of the holy Archangels, were seen upon him.

And Jesus said unto them, "Behold, anew I give unto you, The Law, which is not new but from old. Even as Moses gave the law to Israel after the flesh, so also I give unto you the law for the Kingdom of Israel after the Spirit.

"For who are the Israel of God? Even they of every nation and tribe who work righteousness, love, mercy and keep my commandments, these are the true Israel of God."

And standing upon his feet, Jesus spake, saying:

"Hear O Israel, the Eternal All, Thy God is One; Many are My overseers, and My prophets. In Me all live and move, and have subsistence.

"Ye shall love thy God with all your understanding of the Holy Law.

"Ye shall love thy neighbor as yourself, even as the law instructs.

"Ye shall not take away the life of any creature for your pleasure, nor for your profit, nor yet torment it.

"Ye shall not steal the goods of any, nor gather lands and riches to yourselves, beyond your need or use.

"Ye shall not eat the flesh, nor drink the blood of any slaughtered creature, nor yet anything which bringeth disorder to your health or senses.

"Ye shall not make impure marriages, where love and health are not, nor yet corrupt yourselves, or any creature made pure by the Holy One.

"Ye shall not bear false witness, against any, nor wilfully deceive any by a lie to hurt them.

"Ye shall not do unto others, as ye would not that others should do unto you.

"Ye shall worship One Eternal, the Father-Mother in Heaven, of Whom are all things, and reverence the Holy Name, keeping sacred Their daily holy communions.

"Ye shall revere your fathers and your mothers on earth, whose care is for you, and all the teachers of righteousness.

"Ye shall cherish and protect the weak, and those who are oppressed, and all creatures that suffer wrong.

"Ye shall work with your hands the things that are good and seemly; so shalt ye eat the fruits of the earth, and live long in the land.

"Ye shall purify yourselves daily and rest every Seventh Day from labour, keeping Holy the Sabbaths and the Festivals of your God and Creator.

"Ye shall do unto others, as ye would that others should unto you."

And when his disciples heard these holy words, they smote upon their breasts, saying: "Wherein we have offended, O God please forgive us; and may thy wisdom, love and truth within us, so incline our hearts to love, keep and cherish this Holy Law."

And Jesus said unto them, "My yoke is equal and my burden light, if ye will to bear it; to you it will be easy. Lay no other burden on those that enter into the kingdom, but only these necessary things.

"This is the Law renewed unto the Israel of God, and the complete Law is within, for it is the law of love, and it is not new but old. Take heed that ye add nothing to this law, neither take anything from it. For verily I say unto you, they who believe and obey this law shall be saved, and they who know and obey it not, shall be lost.

"But as in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive. And the disobedient shall be given many tests, for they who persist in wickedness shall descend and shall perish eternally; but they who obey my Law will inherit everlasting life."

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, "Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the sleep of death."

His disciples then asked him, saying, "Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?" And Jesus answered and said unto them, "Elias truly shall first come and make ready all things.

"But I say unto you, that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they lusted. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them." Then the disciples understood that Jesus spake unto them of John the Baptist.

And when they came down from the mountain, one of Jesus' disciples asked him: "Lord, if a man keep not all these commandments, shall he enter into Life?"

And Jesus answered him saying: "The Law is Holy in the letter, but more perfect in the spirit, for the letter without the spirit is dead, but the spirit maketh the letter alive. Take ye heed, wherefore, that ye obey the law from the heart, and in the spirit of love, all the Commandments which I have given unto you, for each law is a hedge unto thee, and a safeguard for thy soul.

"For it hath been written: Thou shall not kill, but I say unto

you, if any hate and desire but a moment to slay, they are guilty of the law. Yea, if they cause harm or pain to any innocent creature, they are indeed guilty. Only if they kill to put an end to suffering which cannot be healed, they are guilty not, if they do it quickly and in love.

"It hath also been said, Thou shall not steal, but I say unto you, if any is not content with that which he has, and so desires and seeks after that which is another's, or if he withholds that which is just from the worker, he has already stolen in his heart; and truly I tell thee, his guilt is greater than that of one who stealeth bread in necessity, to satisfy his hunger.

"Again ye have been told: Thou shalt not commit adultery; but I say unto you, if man and woman join together in marriage with unhealthy bodies, and beget unhealthy offspring, they are guilty--yea, even though they have not taken their neighbor's spouse.

"And if any enter into marriage for unnatural relations and raise not offspring, but do come near to each other, they are guilty. And if any has not taken a woman who belongeth to another, but desires in his heart and seeks after her body, he has committed adultery already in spirit.

"And again I say unto you, if any lust and seek to possess the body of any creature for food, or for pleasure, or for profit, they defile themselves thereby, and thus deny my commandments, and are guilty."

And Jesus continued to interpret the Holy Law, and his disciples listened unto him with great interest and were astonished by his wisdom.

And he said unto them: "Yea, and if a man telleth the truth to his neighbor in such a way as to lead him into evil, even though it be true in the letter, he is guilty. Walk therefore ye in the spirit, and thus shall ye fulfill the law in the letter and be made ready for the Kingdom.

"Let the Law be unwritten within your own hearts rather than on tables of stone memorial; in this manner be ye perfect, as which things nevertheless ye ought to do, and not to leave the other things undone.

"For I say unto you again, the Law I have given unto you is Holy, Just and Good, and blessed are all they who obey and walk therein. For truly I tell ye, God is Spirit, and they who worship God must worship in spirit and truth, at all times and in every place under

the sun. Wherefore, whosoever listens to my words, and keepeth the Holy Law, pure, and undefiled, will inherit rich rewards in this life and everlasting life in the world to come."

And Jesus lifted up his voice and cried aloud: "O ye that thirst, seek ye the living water which cometh from Heaven, for this is the water of life, which whoso drinketh, thirsteth no more. For as ye behold the waters of the very sea that washes and purifies all therein, know ye also the waters from above are life unto thy soul. For sweet and refreshing are the living waters of truth, wherein the righteous bathe and delight in the All-Peace.

"Yea, when ye learn the mysteries of God, ye shall know the waters of life and every secret of nature hidden in the creations of the Father-Mother, for all is in Them and Them in all."

And then Jesus took of some fruit, five melons, and divided them among the people and they ate thereof, and their thirst was quenched. And he said unto them: "If the True God maketh the sun to shine, and the water to fill out these delicious fruits of earth, shall not the same be the Sun of your souls, and fill ye with water of life? Therefore, seek ye the truth and let your souls be satisfied, for the truth of God is that water which cometh only from heaven, without money and without price, and they who drink shall be satisfied." And those whom he fed with the five melons, were 1000-men, women and children-and none of them departed ahungered or athirst.

And it came to pass that some of Jesus' disciples, who were stonemasons, were repairing one of the chambers of the Temple in Jerusalem, and Jesus was passing by. And they said unto him: "Lord and Master, see'st thou these great buildings and what manner of stones are set here . . ."

And Jesus answered: "Yea, the stonework is indeed great and beautiful, for well wrought are the stones, but I tell ye, the day

cometh when not one stone shall be left on another . . . For the true Temple is the body of man in which the True God dwelleth by the Spirit. For I say unto thee, when this Temple is destroyed, in three days, God shall raise up a more glorious temple, which the eye of the natural man perceiveth not.

"Know ye not that ye are the living temples of the Holy Spirit? And whoso destroyeth one of these temples, the same shall be himself destroyed!"

And some of the scribes and the Pharisees who rendered flesh and blood rituals at the Temple, heard Jesus' words and sought to entangle him in his talk and said: "If thou wouldst put away the sacrifice of sheep and oxen and birds, to what purpose was this Temple built for God by Solomon?"

And Jesus said unto them: "It is written in the Prophets, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations, for the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. But ye know not the Pure Oblation, nor do ye wish to know, for ye have it a house of slaughter and bloodshed, a house filled with many evils.

"Again I say unto thee, it is written, From the rising of the sun unto the setting of the same, my Name shall be great among the Gentiles, and incense with a Pure Offering shall be offered unto me. But ye have made it a desolation with your flesh and blood offerings, and use the sweet incense only to cover the ill savour thereof. Know ye, I am not come to destroy the law, but to interpret and fulfill all things spoken of me.

"Know ye not what is written? 'Obedience is better than sacrifice and to hearken better than the fat of rams. I, the Lord, am weary of your burnt offerings, and vain oblations; your hands are full of blood.'

"And is it not also written, 'What is the sacrifice? Wash you and make you clean and put away the evil from before mine eyes, cease to do evil, learn to do well. Yea, do justice for the fatherless and the widow and all that are oppressed. For by so doing, ye shall fulfill the law . . . Pure worshippers worship the Eternal Spirit in purity and in truth . . ."'

And the Pharisees said unto Jesus, "Who art thou that seekest to do away with the blood rituals and despiseth the seed of Abraham?"

And Jesus said in answer: "Before Abraham was, I am."

But they refused to listen to Jesus' words and said: "He is inspired by a demon," and some others said: "He is mad."

And they told these things to the priests and elders, and they were wroth, saying: "He hath spoken blasphemy; let us seek a way to rid ourselves of this one."

And Jesus hearing their words, said further unto them: "I ask ye, how teacheth ye the spiritual matters of God, if ye understand not the physical matters? For if ye have not mercy on the creatures of God that ye do see and touch, how can ye grasp the spiritual things of God which ye see and touch not?"

And the Pharisees and scribes looked upon Jesus with great contempt and remained silent.

And Jesus said unto his disciples: "So it is with the soul of every creature, though unseen by human eyes, for it is hidden within the garment of flesh and blood. Every creature is twofold by nature: for without the spiritual half, there can be no physical manifestation. Therefore, I tell ye, the body is dust, but the soul is of God. Fear not, then, those wicked who destroy the physical body but cannot kill the spiritual soul. For the man of God knows his root, he being of God, and God knoweth him which belongeth to the fold.

"Know ye also, that whosoever treateth the least of these the souls of God with contempt, doth the same unto me; for these hypocrites respect not the marvel of life within all things. Yea, they seek the death of things and rejoice therein. Know ye, they originate from the mother of seven evils, for where is suffering and bloodshed, there be Satan also.

"So shall these blind guides inherit the place preserved for them, for the Father-Mother above all things, forgives not the wanton sins of evil doers, and excuses not the hardness of hearts and dullness of senses that accompany wicked men.

"Flee, then, away from these workers of lawlessness; because they wish not eternal life, and desire to bar all others from the road leading to it. Truly I tell ye this day, they are having their reward in full--in no manner shall they enter the kingdom nor receive the promise, for they are as dung upon the surface of the earth.

"Seek ye the Holy Law and love and mercy of My ways, and ye shall find eternal life and peace. Separate thyselves from wicked men, who twist and garble the sacred scriptures to satisfy their lust and pleasure."

And at a later time, after Jesus had said many other things unto the Pharisees, certain of the scribes and Elders from the Temple

came unto Jesus saying: "Tell us, Why do thy disciples teach men that it is unlawful to eat the flesh of animals, even though they be offered in sacrifice as Moses ordained? For it is written, God said to Noah, 'The fear and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the field, and every bird of the air, and every fish of the sea, into your hand they are delivered.' Why do ye say otherwise?"

And Jesus looked upon them and said in a strong voice: "Ye Hypocrites, well did Esaias speak of you and your forefathers, saying, 'This people draweth nigh unto Me with their mouths, and honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. For in vain do they worship Me teaching and believing, and teaching for divine doctrine, the commandments of men in my name, but to satisfy their own evil and lusts.'

"And also Jeremiah did bear testimony when he said, concerning blood offerings and sacrifice: 'I the True God, commanded none of these things in the day that ye came out of Egypt, but only this I commanded you: To do righteousness, walk in the ancient paths of My laws, so as to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God. But ye did not hearken to Me, Who in the beginning gave you all manner of seed, and fruit of the trees and seed having been for the food and healing of man and beast.'"

And the Scribes said unto Jesus, "Thou speakest against the law! Thy sin is great!"

And Jesus perceiving the hardness of their hearts and the stubbornness of their evil ways, for they were without mercy or goodness, said unto them: "Nay, against Moses I speak not, nor against the ancient law that always was; but against those who corrupted the law, I do speak out! For out of the hardness of your hearts the law was corrupted.

"But behold, a greater than Moses is here! For I come to inscribe the law on soft fleshly hearts and not on stone tables, that the meek may live and the wicked be judged. For ye speak according to thy wickedness and ye judge Moses by thy standard of evil. Know ye that Moses, my servant, speaketh in truth of the True God, but thy forefathers, evil in their ways, calleth the truth a lie, and maketh the lie the truth. And ye do believeth the lie every time, because no truth can be found in ye.

"Thy law is of the maker of the lie, and thy beliefs are the inventions of thy god, who knoweth not truth, but only the lie, for truth was not found in this one, who thought the impossible thought

to be like the Eternal Spirit, but strove not for light, but darkness. Know ye then, ye are workers of darkness, because no light is in thee, for ye behold the Light before thee, but see not. If ye knoweth not the real Moses, ye knoweth not the greater Moses."

And the Elders and scribes were angry at Jesus' words, for they understood him to mean they were wicked and stubborn, and they took up stones to cast at him, but Jesus passed through their midst, hidden from their violence.

And Jesus continued to work many wonders wherever he went unto the people, and he taught mysteries of God never heard before, but few understood their meaning. He healed every illness and made the blind to see; the poor were aided, and he preached peace and joy and eternal life to all those of humble heart. And the people were astonished by his great works and followed him in great numbers, and many were his disciples who became followers of the Essene way of life.

And one day as Jesus and some of his disciples were praying in the countryside, a shepherd leading his flock passed them by. And Jesus took up one of the young lambs in his arms and talked to it lovingly, and pressed it to his bosom, and the young lamb cried out as a babe in the arms of a mother. And then Jesus said unto his disciples: "I am the good shepherd and know my sheep, even as they know me. And as the Parent of All knoweth me, even so I know my sheep, and lay down my life for the sheep. For other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; them also must I bring, and they shall hear my voice, for there shall be one fold and one shepherd over all.

"Thus I lay down my earthly body, that I may take my spirit body again. Know ye, no man taketh life from me, but I lay it down of my own will, for I have power to lay my life down and I have power to take it up again.

"Thus I say unto ye, fear not the things thy eyes shall behold concerning my body, for it is my will that I lay down my body, and not the will of any man. Yea, I come from heaven with power and glory of the Father-Mother Who sent me; I depart from earth, unlike the Temple sacrifices of animal flesh, for blood washes away not the sins of man, nor burnt offerings the evil.

"I lay down my body in defense of the love of the law, for

there is no thing above the love of my law and no thing is greater than to lay down a life for a brother. Thus in me the love of the law is made manifest, that men may know they abused the law of love and worked great sin against the creations of the Eternal Spirit.

"Yea, I am the perfect shepherd, for the perfect shepherd feedeth his flock; he gathereth his lambs in his bosom and gently leadeth those that are with young. Yea, the perfect shepherd even giveth his life for the safety of the sheep.

"But behold the hireling, who owns not the sheep, and is not the shepherd-he seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and fleeth, and the wolf catcheth them and scattereth the sheep about. But the hireling careth not, for the sheep are not his own.

"Therefore, I tell ye, I am the door and by me all who enter shall be safe, and shall go in and out and find good pastures always. The evil one cometh only to steal and to kill and to scatter the sheep; I am come only that they might have life more abundantly. He therefore that entereth in by the door, is the true shepherd of the sheep, to whom the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice, for he calleth his sheep by name, and leadeth them out, and he knoweth their number.

"Yea, the sheep follow him willingly, for they know his voice. For a stranger they follow not, but will flee from him, for they know not the voice of a stranger . . . My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they truly follow me and keep my law, and I give unto them eternal life, for they shall never perish, neither shall any evil one pluck them out of my fold. For I tell ye, my Parent, Who gave them unto me, is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of my Parent's hand.

And Jesus said unto his disciples, "So shall it be that many lying shepherds will mislead the sheep, and seek to devour them and scatter them about, doing so in my name. But I say unto ye, the one who misguides the sheep to barren pastures and says unto them, 'I am the door and the way,' this one would be better if he were never born at all! For many, indeed, shall come as wolves garbed in sheep's dress to scatter and destroy, and ye will know them by their merciless ways, for such are the ones who ill-treat the innocent creatures of God.

"For I say unto ye, if a good shepherd have one hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, this same shepherd will leave the 99 in safety and then set out to find the one lost sheep. And if so be that he find it, truly I say unto you, he rejoiceth more over that sheep than over the 99 which went not astray and are safe!

"So it is not the will of your heavenly Parent, that one of these should perish; thus the Son of Man is come to earth to save that which was lost, namely his sheep. Be ye therefore, perfect and good shepherds of the flock of God and lead the sheep to safety and to life." But some of the disciples understood not the parable Jesus spake unto them and questioned him further.

And Jesus continued to work miracles in the land, and work every good thing to the glory of the Eternal Father-Mother in heaven. He raised the dead that they might walk and talk again; he cured every disease the evil one has brought on man and animal; he discoursed on the Holy Law of God and taught its virtues and values; he taught the meaning of true love and divine mercy; he taught the forgiveness of those who trespass against the law and each other; yea, the inner peace of the soul and holy way of life did Jesus teach the people.

And one warm sunny day, Jesus said unto the disciples and a great crowd around them: "I will tell ye, one and all before me this day, Who truly is the son of God and who truly is the daughter of God? Yea, even the great crowd of them who turn from all evil and do righteousness, love mercy and walk reverently with their God. These are truly the sons and the daughters of man who come up out of Egypt, to whom it is given that they should be called the sons and the daughters of God.

"And I tell ye this day, they are gathered out from every tribe and every nation, and every race, and every tongue, for they come from the East and the West, and the North and the South. Yea, this be the true Israel of God, that dwelleth on Mt. Zion, and they eat bread and drink of the fruit of the vine at the holy table of God, and they come to know and see God face to face. For know ye the Holy Law was given unto every nation of men who would walk

humbly before the True God, and out from every nation, cometh those who keepeth my law to salvation. Indeed, these are the true Israel of God. For I tell ye, by a race, God judgeth not the souls of men, but by the heart of man; whosoever walketh by the Pure Oblation, walketh in the holy path of God and is saved."

And the time arrived when Jesus spake to the multitude and his disciples on the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and the Scribes. And he said unto all that listened: "Behold, how the Scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat . . . For they desire to be called of men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi' . . . But I tell ye, desire not to be called Rabbi, for one is your Rabbi, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

"And call not any one father on earth, for on earth are fathers in flesh only; but in Heaven there is One Who is your Father and your Mother, Who hath the Spirit of truth, Whom the wicked world cannot receive.

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for because you reject the holy law, and yourselves enter not, ye also prevent others from entering therein.

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye travel land and sea to make one believer; and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of Satan than yourselves.

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithes of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy and faith; these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. But ye care not, ye blind guides! For ye quickly strain out a gnat, and yet swallow a camel whole.

"Woe unto ye, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye are like unto white tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of the dead and all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear as shining temples, all righteous, unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and dead things. For ye are yourselves living tombs of the dead rather than Temples of the living God, Whom ye know not.

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the sepulchres of the righteous, and say, If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we surely would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Liars! Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye do as the children of them which did kill the prophets.

"Wherefore it was said by holy Wisdom Herself, Behold, Behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes, and some of them shall ye scourge . . . kill and crucify . . . and persecute . . . And upon you shall come all the righteous bloodshed upon the earth, the blood of righteous Abel, unto the blood of Zacharias.

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou wicked city that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee in truth, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, but ye would not give ear!

"Behold, thy hearts of stone, for now thy house is left desolate unto you. For I say unto you truly, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye should cry out, 'Holy, Holy, Holy, Blessed are they who come in the Name of the Just One . . ."'

And after saying all these things and more, those who listened were amazed at Jesus' words, but the scribes and the Pharisees were enraged with hatred for Jesus and wanted very much in their evil hearts to do away with him, but did not; and they walked away from Jesus murmuring sayings to themselves, against his speech.

The Two and Seventy Return to Jesus

And after many months had passed, the two and seventy re-

turneth unto Jesus with great joy, saying: "Holy Lord, even the demons are subject unto us through thy name. Yea, master, much power and authority hast thou given unto us. For when thy holy name is spoken, it puts to flight every evil spirit, and imposes quiet on the soothsayer, and even prevents men from consulting augurs, and frustrates arrogant magicians, not by dread of thy name, but by the authority of such great a power."

And the two and seventy were greatly excited and happy to see Jesus once again, and they spoke unto him many things encountered in their journeys. And they began to speak in their various languages to Jesus, five and six apostles speaking at one time, each in a different tongue.

And Jesus' disciples who were standing close by, understood not their words, and marvelled why Jesus did not interrupt their speech, but listened unto every one of them in gladness.

And it was at this time, that one of Jesus' disciples said unto him: "Teacher of Righteousness, thy holy apostles speaketh in many tongues, and we understand not their words, dost thou know the words?"

And Jesus turned to his disciples and said unto them, "Behold, my chosen ones returneth from strange lands, and speaketh the tongues of every nation, one apostle for each tongue. But know ye not, I know all tongues and understand, and do behold every word even as they speak unto me at one time."

And his disciples were truly astonished, for never had they observed such a wonder. And Jesus said unto them all, "Behold, I speak unto you in two and seventy tongues, that the Father-Mother in Heaven may be glorified in all things and bring forth good from evil."

And Jesus proceeded to address the two and seventy in the tongues of their nations, and the two and seventy did hear the word of Jesus, each according to his language and all did understand.

And the crowds standing by were amazed and astonished and did marvel greatly at the unusual event, and many said among themselves, "this man speaketh with the authority of the gods, for he speaketh all tongues with one breath, and these men of different nations indeed understand every word! Glory to the Heights above, this man is the true Christ!"

And Jesus continued speaking to the two and seventy and they beheld his words each according to his own tongue. And Jesus said

unto them: "Yea, even all things I spake unto you are proven. Yea, even the demons are subject unto my name, for I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. But though I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you; notwithstanding in this, rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven!"

And in that hour, Jesus rejoiced in spirit with his apostles and did offer prayer and said: "I thank Thee, Holy Parent of Heaven and Earth, that thou hast hid these things from the worldly-wise, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, All Holy, for so it seemed good in Thy sight.

"Yea, all things are delivered to me of the All-Parent; and no man knoweth the Son who is the Daughter, but the All-Parent; nor who the All-Parent is, but the Son even the Daughter, and they to whom the Son and the Daughter will reveal it."

And then Jesus turned himself and faced his disciples, and said privately: "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see. For I tell you, truly, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Yea, blessed are ye of the inner circle who hear my word and to whom the mysteries are revealed, who give to no innocent creature the pain of prison or of death, but seek the good of all, for to such is everlasting life.

"Blessed are ye who abstain from all things gotten by bloodshed and death, and thus fulfill all righteousness; Blessed are ye, for ye shall attain Beatitude."

And all of Jesus' disciples rejoiced in his words, and they all gathered around Jesus, and the two and the seventy were there also in their midst. Yea, great was the gathering of the disciples who listened to the words of truth.

And it was at this time, a time of joy and peace that the two and seventy did speak much of their travels and told of many disciples made over to the holy way of life in every nation they went into. And after a time the two and seventy and all the other disciples of Jesus, did sit down and eat with Jesus bread and fruit, and did drink the juice of the fruits and pure water. And prayer was heard before and after they supped, as was the custom of the Essene way.

And Jesus lifting his eyes upwards toward heaven, gave praise and thanksgiving to the Eternal All, the Giver of every good gift from above: "Oh, Father-Mother, our All-Parent of the One great Household of Life, we rejoice in Thy will on earth this day, and thank Thee for the simple food set before us to nourish our bodies of flesh. Oh, that it be Thy will accomplished on earth, in that Thy Son hath come to teach Thy Holy Law, that Thy sheep may know and understand Thy great Love and Mercy. Grant Thy Earth, all peace and joy, and maketh Thy innocent creatures, small and great, to rest under the strain of the evil one.

"For great is Thy Household of brothers and sisters under Thy power and many are they oppressed by the evils of the world. Grant them the all-peace that they may know Thy great Love and Mercy, for they knoweth not they exist because of Thee. For Thy Mercy is far-reaching and abundant and stretcheth out over the dry land and the sea and toucheth every living soul, lest they see death and know not Thy Holy Way. Bless Thy Holy elect saints, who worship Thee in Spirit and in Truth, and who watcheth over Thy innocent creatures in faithfulness, for they are in accord with Thee and knoweth Thy Holiness is great and wonderful and all fullness of love . . . Amen."

And at another time while Jesus sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him in private, and asked: "Tell us, Lord, thou holy Teacher of Righteousness, concerning the end of evil, and what shall be the sign that we should know of thy coming again . . ."

And Jesus said unto them, "Take warning, that no man deceive you; for many shall come in my Name, saying, 'I am the Christ, and the truth, follow me and be saved.' But great shall be the number, the false prophets will deceive! Yea, many will take up the Holy Name in vain and misuse the meaning thereof and cause great confusion among the people and mislead many. For many things shall take place upon earth that hath not taken place before, nay, nor seen by any generation, except those of that generation.

"For ye shall hear of great wars and also much talk of war and many will be threatened with destruction, but be ye not troubled, for many things must come to pass yet before the end of all evil things . . . And in those days, the last before the Great Rest, those

that have power, shall gather to themselves in greed, the lands and the riches of the earth, for their own lusts, and thus shall oppress the greater number who have not.

"For in those days, the many shall be held in bondage, but yet not in prison, and they shall be used to increase the riches of the greedy. Yea, even the innocent beasts of the field shall be greatly oppressed, for every cruelty and lust shall be worked against my innocent brothers and sisters of the great Household of God; for many shall lust after the taste of flesh, and blood shall flow freely as high as the bridle of the horse!

"In that time of trouble, no creature of God, nay, man nor beast shall escape the cruel judgment of that wicked generation, save mine holy elect under the charge of mine holy angels. For I say unto ye this day, that a strange saviour shall rule the minds of many, and that generation shall believe not in the evil of the world, but shall judge all evil, good, and all good, evil.

"For many shall the miracles of the strange god work in the earth, and the people shall worship that saviour with much devotion, for all hope rest in the god that is not a god but deceiveth the people of every nation.

"But the Eternal Spirit of All, shall send forth His holy messengers, and they shall restore the holy law anew, which wicked men have hidden by their vain traditions, and those that believe not the holy law shall perish . . . And in that day shall all they that keepeth my law and commandments be hated of all nations for my Name's sake, for many shall be offended at my Holy Laws, and betray one another, and shall hate one another, for many false prophets shall indeed arise and shall deceive many.

"Yea, I tell ye, in that age yet to come, the Father's Name shall be blasphemed in a manner like never before in the history of the world, greater than even the star count of heaven itself! For hands dripping with the innocent blood of my creatures will take up my name in vain and mislead many, and they will follow the ways of the Pharisees and not the true path of the Pure Oblation. Yea, many lies will be spoken of me in that age, things I spoke not unto ye, nor taught not, for they will lust after much flesh and sin, and their evil will mount higher than a new moon of thy season and many will believe, and be lost.

"Yea, sheep will there be but shepherds few, for the wolves shall destroy the sheep and scatter them about as the north wind

scatters the fallen leaves. For many are the hopes of that age to come but like the bow in the sky after the rain cometh, disappeareth into nothingness. Though great be their saviour, only hopelessness shall reign over the nations.

"I tell ye, better for that generation not to have been born into the world, for darkness filleth that age and gross darkness the people where the lie ruleth the hearts of many . . . Yea, I tell unto ye truly, if any man then shall say unto you, 'Lo, here is the Christ,' or 'there he be,' be ye on guard, and haste not to believe. For there shall arise many false Christs, and false prophets, speaking the lie against the humane Son of God, and they shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, to even deceive the very elect of God.

"Wherefore if they shall say unto you, 'Behold, he is in the desert'-go not forth; 'Behold, he is in the secret place'-haste not to believe. For as lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.

"For remember, wheresoever the carcass is, there will the vultures be gathered together. For these birds eat of the dead and do gather 'round for the feast and know not the living. Know ye also, therefore, that the true disciples of Christ are among the living only and are not found gathered 'round dead things.

"For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating flesh and blood, and drinking sour wine, and marrying for unnatural reasons . . . Until the day that Noah entered into the ark and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be."

And then one of Jesus' disciples said unto him, "Master of the Harvest, please tell us what shall be the sign that we may know for certainty of thy coming?" And Jesus said unto his disciples: "The Eternal Parent has appointed a time and a season for everything, so shall be the holy judgment of that age. For verily I say unto you, that age shall not pass till all those things be fulfilled, for the wicked heavens of Satan shall pass away, and the evil of the world shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away, for my words are law and life and love. And out from my law shall come forth a new heaven that ruleth over the new earth; yea, the Kingdom of mine Elect shall rule in peace and gladness the meek of the land, and wickedness shall be no more found or sought after."

"And as for the sign that thou ask of, I say unto ye, this: there shall be no sign given unto my disciples but the sign of Jonah."

And one of the disciples said unto Jesus: "Tell us, please, of this sign of Jonah and how shall we know it?"

And Jesus said unto them again, "I say once more unto ye, there shall be no sign given, but the sign of Jonah. Know ye Jonah, and ye shall know my sign, for Jonah be in the stomach of the great fish; so I shall be in the greater fish, and again I say unto ye, as the fish was in the great sea, so shall I be in the greater sea, for in that age to come I shall be in the fish even as Jonah. Let all those who hath eyes, see and all those who hath ears, hear, that I giveth unto ye only the sign of the great fish that ye may know when I cometh again unto ye."

And the disciples wondered at the words of Jesus, for they knew of Jonah but understood not the sign and some of them questioned among themselves concerning the sign. And Jesus hearing them, said unto them again: "Be ye not troubled over the sign, for it is yet to come in an age far off, for I tell ye truly, some of ye know the sign now and keepeth the secret, but all shall understand before I taketh leave; for only my true disciples knoweth the sign and the meaning, but reveal it not unto unbelievers."

And the disciples remained quiet and listened further of the things Jesus spake unto them. And Jesus continued in telling more concerning the time when evil would be no more. "Yea, in that age to come, there shall be great lawlessness in the land, for every man shall seek his own advantage, and there shall be no natural love between brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers, for great shall the division of faith and belief be in that age of the end. In that age to come all things the prophets spoke shall come to pass--yea, every sacred word to the letter, for in that time, troubles and tribulations shall engross the nations, and men shall not know a way to escape, for by their evil shall they be caught as a bird in a snare, and none shall escape just rewards.

"For in that age, many shall fall into Satan's traps and be misled, striving after riches and material goods; many shall leave off from my laws and the love of riches shall blind them to truth. I tell ye, truly, never in the history of the world shall slavery be mani-

fest as in that age, for Satan shall enslave the masses in manners unknown to thy generation, and the masses shall put their faith and hope in the vain promises of ever-speaking man. For all done in that age, will be accredited to man alone, for few shall know the tricks and deceptions of the evil one, who worketh every strange miracle and fooleth the people and leadeth them to destruction. For many shall not profess a god, but believe in their own might and strength and entire nations shall war in my name and deceive many."

And Jesus told his disciples many other things concerning the end of the wicked age, and the disciples marvelled at his words and were astonished at his sayings.

And Jesus continued to teach his disciples the mysteries of God, and they rejoiced in his wisdom and great knowledge, for never were such words spoken before. And sitting again under the shade of the twelve palm trees, one of Jesus' disciples asked: "Righteous Teacher, it is written of old, 'The Elohim made man in Their own image, male and female created They them.' How sayest thou then, that God is one? Please tell us the mystery."

And Jesus answered them saying: "Truly, I say unto you, in God is neither male nor female and yet both are one, and God is the Two in One. He is She and She is He. The Eternal All--our God is perfect and complete and lacks nothing, our God is Infinite, and One.

"For as in the man, the Father is manifest, and the Mother hidden; so in the woman, the Mother is manifest, and the Father hidden. Therefore, I say unto ye, shall the name of the Father and the Mother be equally hallowed and reverenced, for They are the great powers of God, and the one is not without the other, in the One Infinite God.

"For from the All-Parent, cometh forth all life and glory, male and female both. Yea, for the Eternal All, the First Father bringeth forth every kind of life into existence and He is in them all, and they are all in Him."

And then one of Jesus' disciples asked him saying, "We believe what you tell us, Master, but did the All-Parent create everything small and great as we do see before us this day?"

And Jesus said unto them further: "Listen and ye shall learn

the secrets of life, in that all life cometh from the Eternal Spirit and liveth because of Him, but all things ye see before you this day, the All-Parent did not bring forth, nor of those things which ye see not and know not exist. For I say unto ye, this hour, in the beginning of the great Household of Life, the All-Parent containeth all things and all life, without beginning and without ending, He Was and Is, but the Eternal Spirit desireth not to be alone but to give life abundantly.

"Thus, He willeth into being the First Mother, Holy Wisdom, the Holy Spirit of the All-Parent and together the Father-Mother God willed into being many creations, both visible and invisible. Yea, great are the wonders of the All-Parent and little known to earthly man."

And again one of his disciples questioned Jesus further, and said unto him: "Tell us, Master, was it the Father-Mother God, then, that brought Adam forth on earth?"

And Jesus answered him, and said: "The Eternal Spirit bringeth forth the Mother, Holy Wisdom, to create the invisible creatures first. So be the Mother, the Holy Spirit or Breath of Life, and then the second Father, whom ye see before you this hour. Together the Holy Mother and the second Father bringeth forth the holy archangels first, and many other angels according to station and rank, but no thing cometh into being, lest the First Father knoweth of it to be, for He is in all things and all things in Him.

"Those who have ears, give ear to hear, for the Holies of the Trinity of the Eternal Spirit created and brought forth the earthly man in the likeness of the All-Parent. Know ye, then, the female is in the male and the male is in the female, for this be the holy nature of all things brought forth. There are female spirits and male spirits, but the world knoweth not of these secrets beyond the knowledge of man, for great are the mysteries of the One Whom you call God and even angels know not all things of the unapproachable light whereby this ONE dwelleth, for He is One Alone, and there be no other like this ONE, known as the ONE and ALL in all things and the ALL in One of everything holy.

"Be ye not troubled, nor work thy minds for naught, the Knowledge of this One is sufficient for you this hour. I was sent by this ONE to reveal the All-Truth for man and angel, and what I reveal is satisfying to thy souls, for the mystery is holy and only the seed of God knoweth the meaning thereof and keepeth the faith of the one sent forth by the ALL-Parent.

"For there are some among you who shall see with eyes unveiled, the glory of the Heavens which containeth the True Temple of the All-One Mighty Spirit of Life; and ye shall understand according to thy wisdom, ye shall learn the ways of God, and ye shall be prepared. For many are those not prepared to approach the Light. Be ye prepared now, and get caught not in death, for only in life can thou preparest thyself for the All-Parent's approval and blessing."

And the disciples marvelled at the mystery of life, and did listen to Jesus with an open ear, and Jesus continued to teach them in the ways of the holy law of God.

And Jesus continued to teach his disciples the mysteries of God and of the ages, and he said unto them: "God hath raised up testimony to the truth in every nation and in every age, that all might know the will of the Eternal All and do it. Yea, the Holy Law has been given unto all men, even from the very beginning with Adam. For I say unto ye, only by doing the will of the Eternal, shall ye enter into the kingdom, and be rulers and workers within the kingdom. For I tell ye this day, that the True and Perfect God is Power, Love and Wisdom, and these three are One. And yet the True God is Justice, Knowledge and Purity, and these three are One. Yea, God is Splendour, Compassion and Holiness, and these three are One. And yet I say further unto ye, that God is Truth, Goodness and Beauty, and these three are One.

"And these four Trinities are ONE in the hidden Deity, the Perfect, the Infinite, the Only. Likewise in every man who is perfected, there are three persons, that of the son, that of the spouse, and that of the Father, and these three are one. So in every woman who is perfected are there three persons, that of the daughter, that of the bride, and that of the mother, and these three are one; and the man and the woman are one, even as God is One.

"Thus it is with God the Father-Mother, in Whom is neither male nor female and in Whom is both, and each is three-fold, and all are One in the hidden Unity."

And Jesus' disciples for the most part understood not his words and asked Jesus to explain further the mystery of life and Jesus said unto them: "Marvel not at this, for as it is above so it is

below, and as it is below so it is above, and that which is on earth is so, because it is so in Heaven.

"Again I say unto, those who have ears, hear and understand: I and My Bride are one, even as Maria Magdalena, whom I have chosen and sanctified unto Myself as a type, is one with Me; I and My Church are One. And the Church is the elect of humanity, for the salvation of all. The Church of the first-born is the. Maria of God.

"Thus saith the Eternal Spirit, She is My Mother and she hath ever conceived Me, and brought Me forth as Her Son in every age and clime. She is My Bride, ever one in Holy Union with Me her spouse. She is My Daughter, for she hath ever issued and proceeded from Me her Father, rejoicing in Me.

"Yea, these two Trinities are One in the Eternal All, and are shewn forth in each man and woman who are made perfect, ever being born of God, and rejoicing in light, ever being lifted up and made one with God, ever conceiving and bringing forth God for the salvation of the many.

"Thus this is the Mystery of the Trinity in Humanity, and moreover in every individual child of man must be accomplished the mystery of God, ever bearing testimony to the light, suffering for the truth, ascending into Heaven, and sending forth the Spirit of Truth. For this is the only path of salvation, for the kingdom of God is within."

And one of Jesus' disciples said unto him, asking: "Righteous Teacher, tell us then. when shall the kingdom come?"

And Jesus answered and said: "When that which is without shall be as that which is within, and that which is within shall be as that which is without, and, the male with the female, neither male nor female, but the two in One. Let all who hath ears to hear, hear!"

And the disciples wondered at Jesus' sayings and asked many questions among themselves concerning the mysteries he spake.

And it came to pass that the passover ritual of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went into Jerusalem from Bethany. And there he found in the temple, those who sold sheep, oxen and doves, and also the money changers awaiting business. And Jesus looked upon these men in disgust, for he was weary from their continued evils and hard heartedness. And Jesus proceeded to drive all of them out of the Temple, and also loosed the oxen and the sheep, and set free the doves, and then poured out the changers' money, and overturned their tables.

And Jesus said unto them, "Thy hands are dripping with blood of innocent creatures of God! Take these things with you, and return no more and make not my Father's House a house of business! Buyers and sellers! Moneylovers! Is it not written, 'My House is a House of Prayer, for all nations, all peoples?' But look, ye have made it a den of thieves, and filled it with all manner of evil."

And Jesus would not allow any man to carry any vessel of blood through the Temple, nor would he allow any animals to be slain for sacrifice....And Jesus said unto them, "Know ye, because of the hardness of thy hearts, pure innocents suffer greatly; ye are from the ruler of darkness, in this one light exists not, and ye have become the agents of darkness and every evil. Yea, ye all serve evil with willing hearts and excitement of soul and ye shall be judged by thy unholy standards, for if ye knoweth of Satan's laws, know also ye shall be punished by them, for with evil things Satan judges evil men of this world and chastises the children of disobedience.

"Workers of lawless deeds! How are ye to flee the judgment of Gehenna? Trust ye in thy gods of death and agony and be ye judged by thy false gods, who leadeth ye to darkness and the pit and feeleth sorry not for thy souls."

And the Jews, hearing these words, were angry with Jesus and said unto him: "What sign shewest thou unto us and by what authority thou doest and sayest these things? Why, for generations we worketh only good to God and knoweth not an evil deed!"

And Jesus answered and said unto them: "Liars! Again, I say unto you, even as I spake unto you before this day, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up!"

But the Jews understanding not his words, said to him: "Forty and six years was this Temple in the making and wilt thou rear it up in only three days?" For the Jews understood not that Jesus spake of the Temple of his Body that would be raised in three days after his death, for the Jews kneweth not the inner workings of the True Church of God, nor did they seek after Jesus' sayings to know thereof.

And after that time the scribes and the priests of the Temple sought only how they might do away with Jesus, for they feared his words, seeing that all the people were receptive to his teachings.

And Jesus went on to prepare his disciples for his departure from earth, and he told them many things....And Jesus said unto them, "If ye really love me, then keep my commandments. And I will pray to the All-Parent, Who shall give you another Comforter, even The Mother of Wisdom, to abide with you forever; for She is the Holy Spirit of Truth; even My Mother, I sent unto you; Whom the evil world cannot receive, because it seeth not, neither knoweth her; but ye know her; for the Spirit dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

"And also I will not leave you without comfort; for I will come to you. For yet a little while, and the evil world seeth me no more; but ye shall see me and know me. Yea, because I live and am life, ye shall live also....Ye shall know that I am in my Heavenly Parent, and ye in me, and I in you....For truly, they alone who have my commandments, and keep them, these are they who really love me. And, lo, they that love me shall also be loved of my Parent, for I will love them and will make myself known unto them.

"All peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. Let your heart not be troubled, neither let it be afraid, for I shall always

be with you in every age, yea, from this hour even till the end of this world wickedness. For as the Father and Mother hath loved me, so have I loved you; continue ye therefore in my love.

"For truly if ye keep my commandments, ye shall surely abide in my love at all times, even as I have kept my Parent's commandment, and abide in the Spirit of Love. For I say unto ye this day, the will of the All-Parent is that Love be manifested in all things, that all creatures small and great may come to rejoice in the spirit of love itself; for there is no greater thing in Heaven nor on earth than the realization of all-love.

"For in the beginning the Eternal Spirit put forth thought that Love be made known to all things and the Eternal All did proceed to formulate the will of love and placed in every creation the desire to give and receive love, for being loved and sharing in love is the will of the Father-Mother Who sent me into the world that they who abused love would know and understand that God is Love and His Mercy is without limit and cannot be measured in human terms.

"Know ye therefore, that in every creature, God gave the enjoyment of love, that these creatures may experience the Love of God, for God is in all things and all things are in God. Know ye then, that love is the fulfillment of the will and law of God, and they who keepeth the commandments share in this great love. There is no greater blessing or realization for man or angel than to know the love of; God, for they who come to knowledge of the One Father, come to knowledge of the Great Household of Life.

"Yea, I say unto ye, this day, life is the pathway to love and love is the roadway to eternal life. Love ye one another and the creatures of God, and all manner of peace and joy shall come upon you. Have mercy upon one another and the creatures of God and ye shall rejoice in the Household of God, knowing the good from the evil. For the Eternal Parent shareth Love with all things, both visible and invisible, and He bringeth forth all manner of life that love may be manifested in every state and age.

"If ye have not love, ye are dead in all things, and all things are dead unto you. Learn ye the true love of the Will of God, that ye all may inherit the blessing prepared for those who know love and do love; for love doeth for the good of all and not some, love looketh after the creatures of God and seeketh not its own reward, but the reward of other things. Yea, love is the beauty of the law made manifest by the Son of Man, who teacheth the truths of God that men may know the love of God withheld from the world.

"Thus I say unto ye, again, that love is the life of all things, and every thing rejoiceth in the love of God. Withhold life from no thing, be it a flower or a bird, a tree or a dog, for in all things can be seen the beauty of God, for all things were brought into being because of God's love. Share ye love and give freely of it, and all love shall encompass thy souls.

". . . Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you . . . Therefore these things I do command you, that ye love one another and all the creatures of God, for humane love is the fulfillment of the Holy Law on earth.

"Know ye also, if the evil world hate you, it hated me before it hated you. For if you were of the evil world, the world would love you, but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world darkness, therefore the world will hate you. Be ye not afraid then of the faces of evil ones, for great is the number that reject my word for the lies of the world and greater is their evil; such ones shall come to no effect in their desire to destroy truth.

"Yea, I tell ye, truth cannot be hidden from the household of God, neither shall my sheep go unaccounted for, but each one shall find green pasture and be satisfied. Know ye the seed of God and the power of my arm.

"In no way or manner shall any triumph victoriously over the will of the All-Parent, for all things are known from their beginning and every evil thing will end in due course of time; just a little while longer and the wicked world ye know this day shall be no more. Trust ye then in the prophet's words, for all said, shall be done. The wolf shall lie down with the lamb, and no harm shall come to any of my people, because I am in thy midst always."

And it came to pass, after Jesus had spake many other things unto his disciples and all things were revealed unto them, the Love Supper of Jesus had drawn near and was about to take place.

And the disciples gathered together, all clad in garments of pure white linen, neat and spotless, white linen being the symbol of

righteousness among the elect saints and prophets of God.

Jesus was also dressed in his own pure white robe without seam and spotless....And Jesus said unto them, "I rejoice greatly to share this Love Feast with ye before I go my way, for here today, is instituted the Memorial of my Oblation for the service and salvation of all. For great has been the redeeming quality of my stay on earth, much greater than any of thee know at this hour, for truly I tell ye many have been restored to the Eternal All, and many yet shall be. For the Son of Man came into the world to the being of every nature, in order to restore each to its original root; thus shall the deficiency be healed, and all things will become one again unto the All-Parent.

"For ye behold this day of the Jews, before the pagan passover ritual, whereby they sacrifice the innocent creatures of God and eat the flesh of dead animals. Such ones are blind and see not the holy things of God, for truth is not in them. I tell ye truly, better for such ones never to have come into the world at all, lest they corrupt the saints of God!

"But behold the True Oblation, Yea, the PURE OBLATION set before thee this day! Such was the Memorial that Moses gave unto the sons of Israel out from the land of Egypt. But they proved to be sons of disobedience and transgressed my commandments and profaned the Pure Oblation and sacrificed to demons and lusted after much flesh and evil things. But my saints among them did go forth and kept my laws and proved holy to the Eternal All, Who sees all and knoweth the hearts of men, good and evil.

"But, Lo! one greater than Moses speaketh truths and is in thy midst. Behold, the unleavened bread and the juice of the fruit and also the oil and the herbs. But they ignorant of truth ask 'where is the lamb that Moses commanded?' They who know not the True Father, cannot know me, nor can they ever come to be near the Father, when they reject the Son, Whom the Father sent forth. Hypocrites! Offspring of vipers! Corrupters of the Holy Law given unto Moses!

"They imagine that slaying of beasts and birds and the eating of their flesh shall wash them clean, but I tell ye, if the pure waters of the Jordon wash not them clean, neither shall all the streams and

seas of the earth maketh pure their evil souls! Yea, how much less so, the blood of the innocent creatures of God!

"See how they delight in the cries and agonies of the innocent, for they have rejected the Household of God for vain traditions of men and devils; their hearts are hard and lusts many. Mercy, they know not, the sword being their god and riches their king.

"But I say unto ye, if any man knoweth the law of God and raises a sword against the least of these my brothers and sisters, the innocent creatures of God, he shall himself die by the sword and see not life. For know ye, I come into the world in the form of every life. And mercy was shewed not, thus they who work evil unto the least of these my creatures, work evil against the Son and the Father and the Great Household of God.

"Did not Adam speak of me as the bread of life that cometh down from heaven to save the righteous seed? And did not Abel know the Pure Oblation and was put to death on account-for Satan entered into Cain and bloodshed was manifested in the earth, and man and beast crieth out to God and God heareth their cries.

"But I did not recognize Cain's blood offering nor did God the evil of Satan, but grieved over the evil of mankind that spread over the land even as the waters cover the sea basin.

"For truly, I say to you, for this end have I come into the world, that I may put away all blood offering and eating of flesh. But mankind are wicked and rejoice in their evils and change not, for strong is the power of the evil one and many follow.

"Therefore, tell ye the meek of the earth, that they may know truth: In the beginning, God gave to all the fruits of the trees, and the seeds, and the herbs, for food; yea, to every man and beast. But those who loved themselves, or their fellows, more than the True God, did corrupt their ways, and introduced every disease into their bodies, and filled the earth with lust and violence.

"And unto this day, men have changed not, and yea, the holy law did they indeed corrupt to suit their own evil ways. But I kept sending them prophets in their midst, to restore the law, but they added to their evil a hundred fold, by taking innocent blood upon themselves and their children, yet boasting in their false gods and idols, and sacrificing the innocents of the earth, both man and beast."

And Jesus continued saying to them: "Therefore, I tell ye, not by shedding innocent blood, but by living a righteous life, shall ye find the true peace of God. For ye call me the Christ of God, and ye say well, for I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; in me is the Love of the Law and the Law of all Life. Walk ye, then, in the Way, and ye shall surely find the True God of Love and Mercy. Seek ye the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.

"For I say unto ye, the world is slave unto the evil one and great pains do they bring upon themselves and all the innocents in their midst. Live ye then, in the Life, and ye shall see no death, for death has no power over the righteous, but only the wicked.

"Know ye that all things are Alive in God, and the Spirit of God filleth all things, for by the Spirit all things come to be.

"Keep ye therefore my commandments: Love thy God with all thy heart, and thy neighbor as thyself; for on these first two greater laws, do hang all the Holy Law and the Prophets.

"Yea, I tell ye, again, the sum of the law is this: Do not ye unto others as ye would not that others should do unto you. Thus, do ye unto others, as ye would that others should do unto you.

"For, I tell ye truly, if every man liveth by these words, all suffering would cease, for I suffer because of the evil of man, but you suffer because of yourselves.

"Blessed are they who do keep this law, for God is manifested in all creatures and all creatures live in God, and God is hid in them. Do unto all things then, that which ye would do unto God, for God sees all things and knows all things done unto every creature that liveth and giveth life."

And at the conclusion of the Love Supper, Jesus said unto his disciples: "Now is the Son of Man glorified among his twelve and God is glorified in him. And verily I say unto you, they who receive you, receive me, and they who receive me, receive the Father-Mother Who sent me.

"To you who follow me in the regeneration of the Elect, I appoint a kingdom as the same hath been appointed unto me, and ye who have been faithful unto the Truth shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

And one of the apostles asked Jesus: "Master of Righteousness, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom unto Israel?"

And Jesus answered him: "My kingdom is not of this world, neither are all Israel which are called Israel. For truly, I tell ye, that they in every nation who defile not themselves with cruelty, and who do righteousness, and love mercy, and reverence all the works of God, and who give assistance to all that are weak and oppressed, the same are the true Israel of God. Thus shall ye shepherd the nations of earth and her peoples in all manner of righteousness, for out of every nation and tongue, shall Israel come forth, Yea, the holy elect of God are the true Israel, even all those honoring my holy laws."

And in the even, after the Love Supper was ended, Jesus remained with the twelve and continued to teach them humility and love. And Jesus said unto them: "This eve, an old commandment I do give unto you, for though it be of old, it shall also be of new for all those who prove to be my true disciples. It is that ye remember in thy hearts, to love one another and all the creatures of God.

"For I tell ye, Humane love is the fulfilling of the holy law on earth, in that Love is of God, and God is all love. Whoso therefore loveth not each other or the creatures of God, knoweth not the hidden mysteries of God, for God reveals His Rest unto those who love Him and His creatures. Know now, ye are clean through the Word which I have spoken unto you. But know ye also that by these words shall all men know that ye are my disciples-only if ye have love one to another, and demonstrate love and mercy to all creatures of God, yea, especially to those weak and oppressed and suffer wrong.

"For I say unto ye, the whole earth is overfilled with dark places and deeds of cruelty, with great pain and sorrow, by the selfishness and ignorance of man.

"Love ye, then, those who are in need of thy mercy and care, and God, Who sees all, shall love ye in the same manner. For the Father-Mother God draws near to those who love His creatures and watch over them, but God withdraws Himself from those who care or love not, men who worry only for their own needs and not for each other or the innocent creatures of God."

And Jesus said unto them again: "Love thy enemies, in that ye hate the evil they work only, but not the very soul in ignorance, for

if ye bless them that curse you, and give them light for their darkness, the Spirit of Love shall dwell within your hearts, and abound unto all, and they will know ye are my true disciples. And once more I say unto you, Love ye one another and all the creatures of God, and forgive ye one another where ye fall short of perfect love, always striving for the best in the Spirit of Love and Mercy."

And then Jesus entered into the Eucharistic Pure Oblation with his disciples....And after giving thanks to God with prayer for the goodness of God in all things . . . Jesus took the unleavened bread, and blessed it; and also the juice of the grape with water . . .

And chanting the Invocation of the Holy Name of the First Father, calling upon the thrice Holy Father-Mother in Heaven to send down the Holy Spirit and make the bread to be his body, even the Body of Christ, and the fruit of the vine to be his Blood, even the Blood of Christ, for the remission of evils, and the quest of eternal life, to all who obey the Holy Law of the Gospel, it was thus accomplished in him.

Then lifting up the Pure Oblation toward heaven, Jesus said: "Yea, even the Son who is also the Daughter of man is lifted up from the earth, and I shall draw all men unto me; then it shall be known of all people that I am truly sent from God and many shall believe and gain salvation."

And after saying many other things ... Jesus continued saying: "And I have declared unto them Thy Name that the love Thou has given me, may be in them also, and that from them, their great love may spread, even unto all of Thy creatures, yea, small and great, even unto each one."

Then Jesus took of the holy bread and breaketh it, and also the Fruit of the Vine, and mingleth it, and having blessed and hallowed both, and after casting a small piece of the Bread into the Cup, he blessed the Holy Union.

Then did Jesus give the Bread unto his disciples, saying, "Eat ye, for this is my Body, even the Body of the Christ, which is here for the salvation of the body and soul."

And too, he did give unto them, his disciples, the fruit of the Vine . . . And said: "Drink ye, for this is my Blood, even the Blood of the Christ, which is Life unto all for salvation of the soul and the body."

And when all had partaken of the Pure Oblation, Jesus said unto them, "Make this Oblation for a Memorial unto me, whenever ye assemble together in my Name. Do Eat and Drink thereof with a pure heart, even the Bread of everlasting life and the Water of eternal salvation, for ye shall receive of the Substance and the Life of God, which dwelleth in me, that I give freely unto ye all."

With the Love Supper over, Jesus and his disciples came into a garden called Gethsemane and there Jesus prayed and spake unto the disciples .. . But before long there arrived an army of men seeking after Jesus to arrest him for blasphemy against the laws of Moses and the customs of the Roman State.

And the chief priests and elders and also the council did seek false witnesses against Jesus and Judas Iscariot was among them. And the council questioned Jesus in many of his sayings, as to who he was and claimed to be, and they asked of him: "Why dost thou forbid that a lamb be slain and thus defile the law of Moses, for it is said of thee, no flesh entereth into thy mouth; do ye put thyself above the law and Moses?"

And another asked of him: "It hast been spoken of thee, that ye put forth bread before the lamb and juice of the fruit before the poured blood. Know ye not, thou hast blasphemed God?"

And still another asked of Jesus: "Why dost thou abolish the blood sacrifices of the law, and, yea, the eating of flesh as Moses commanded that we do lawfully?"

And Jesus, looking at them and perceiving their evil hearts hardened with love of riches and vain glory, and without mercy or natural affection, said unto them: "I know not that Moses commandeth such as lawful unto you, nor doth the Holy Law of God change for the desires of men, for Moses spoke not these words, ye hath made into law!

"Ye say, and speak of Moses, but if ye know Moses, ye would also know the one greater than Moses, for this holy one spoke of me often. Thus I say unto ye, ye behold not Moses whom ye have seen not, nor dost thou behold the greater Moses, whom ye do see and believe not.

"If ye believe not Moses and the prophets whom I sent forth to thy fathers and thy fathers' fathers, and ye believe not the wonders and marvels worketh for the good of God and Man, whereby even the blind see, the lame walk, and the dead rise again, then I say unto ye: the blind see, yet their eyes shine not, and they

do believe, but thine eyes shine, but ye see no thing holy, for blind guides thou art! And blind guides shalt thou remain, for ye hath rejected the bread of life that cometh down from heaven to restore light to dark places, whereby all see and believe that the Son of Man hath visited the footstool of God."

And many other questions did the council ask of Jesus, and Jesus did answer them, but they heard not the truth of his sayings.

Since it was unlawful for the Hebrews to try a man by night, they waited till morning when all the chief priests, a great company, took council against Jesus. Hoping to have Jesus put to death, they delivered him unto the Roman Governor in charge . . . But it was the day of their annual passover ritual, so they went into the judgment hall, lest they be defiled by breaking their feast rules.

And the Roman Governor, disturbed over the commotion and fearing an overthrow of Roman authority, asked Jesus questions as to who he really was. He asked of him: "Are thou really the King of the World, even as thy disciples think thou art? And why dost thou not eat the flesh of animals and sacrifice as the Roman and Jewish custom demandeth of loyal subjects?"

But Jesus remained silent and answered not a word. And again the Roman Governor asked of Jesus, "Thou speaketh much in the streets of cities and villages. Now, speak to me these words of truth, ye say cometh from God; why then hast thou come unto Israel? Some say thou art God Himself, others say thou hast a demon."

Then Jesus answered him and said: "I came into the world, that I should bear testimony unto the truth, for every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice and obeys."

The Roman Governor then asked: "Tell me, what is the truth?"

And Jesus answered him and looked up to the heavens, and said: "Truth, the All-Truth, is of my Father-Mother which is from heaven above."

And the governor looking perplexed, asked, "Then truth cannot be found on earth among men?"

And Jesus said unto him: "Believe thou, that truth has always been on earth amongst those whom it is given and obey it. Truly, I say unto you, such ones are of the truth who judge with righteousness and mercy."

And the chief priests and Roman authorities debated Jesus' fate, and quickly decided that Jesus must die. But the responsibility of Jesus' death was upon both authorities, as both the Romans and the Jews feared Jesus' great popularity among the people, for it was rumored that Jesus would set up an earthly kingdom and remove all evil governments and allow only the righteous to prosper.

The hours were passing quickly and the Jews were anticipating their passover ritual which began with the setting sun . . . Whatever was to be done with Jesus, must be accomplished quickly, for the pagan passover ritual also fell on a high day, their sabbath, and in no manner could they participate in an execution on this day.

Yea, in their evil hearts the scribes and Pharisees wanted Jesus executed, for he had belittled their false pagan doctrines and exposed their evil ways for all to see, but the Romans dreaded even a greater thing, that of Jesus overthrowing the rule and authority of the Roman yoke. Thus they also wanted Jesus' death.

Thus by evil hearts and corrupt knowledge was Jesus sentenced to die for things he did not say or plan to do, and the guilt of his innocent blood was not to be conferred upon any one nation of men, but to all men who forsook his Holy Law and listened not to his Godly counsel. For out of one nation of men, did Satan bring forth every nation of men on earth, but all were equal in their standing before God's Holy Law, all knowing good from evil with free minds to choose right and wrong.

Thus were the would-be executors guilty of their own ignorance and brought the count of murder upon the entire human race, in that from one man, Adam, all men did come forth, and by one tongue, did Satan confuse the languages of man and create many tongues. Thus was the human race guilty of deviating from God's Holy Law and guilty of spilling innocent blood.

This is the rule of guilt, for through one man, Adam, sin entered into the world, and all men sinned, and all men die in Adam and suffer blood guilt in Adam's sin. But only the Christ makes alive again and gives Life to all those loving his commandments. Thus shall the deficiency be healed and all things shall be one again with God.

Thus they hurriedly prepared Jesus for death . . . And it was on the third hour amidst great confusion, they hung Jesus on a tree, and they mocked him and spoke every blasphemy against his name.

And the chief priests and the scribes said, "Look, he saved a lamb, but himself he saves not!" And the dealers in birds and beasts at the Temple also did revile Jesus by saying, "Look, this is the one who drove from the Temple the dealers in sheep, oxen and doves, and now he himself is but a sheep that is slaughtered."

But from the sixth hour, there was a great earthquake over all the territory even unto the ninth hour, and many lighted torches and were frightened.

And behold, great thunder and lightning, and the partitioned wall of the Holy place in the Temple did fall apart, and the Holy Veil did fall also, for it was rent in twain, and the whole earth quaked.

And many were frightened at the sights and events, and a great number now beheld that truly, this was God's Son, and they felt great shame for what they hath allowed to occur.

But the Jews, because it was still the day of preparation of their pagan festival, hurried with great haste, that the bodies should not remain upon the stakes, for the paschal sabbath was quickly approaching, whereby the Jews would offer many animals in sacrifice, and eat their flesh in remembrance of their exodus out from Egypt, things in which God commanded them not.

And when evening arrived . . . Jesus' body was taken down and hurriedly prepared for burial and deposited in a nearby tomb by the members of the Essene Brotherhood, Jesus' dearest disciples.

And there in the tomb did Jesus remain for some three days, and his angels did minister unto him all of this time . . . .

And Jesus did come unto the disciples again, even as he promised, that from among the dead he would raise himself up and again speak unto these disciples many great things....

For among the resurrected to life, did Jesus belong . . . Yea, for even at the time of the earth quaking, many graves were opened, and some of the saints which slept in death, arose, and came out of those graves, after Jesus came forth, and went into the city and did

appear unto many to the glory and power of the True God.

And Jesus appeared unto Mary Magdalene, and she was told to announce his coming again into the city . . . And then unto certain others did Jesus appear and they believed and knew it was he, for they thought him to be dead.

But some of his own disciples at first sight, believed not. Only after Jesus spake unto them in familiar words, did they behold and believe and were amazed . . . And in time to come, Jesus appeared unto the dealers in beasts and birds in the Temple at their time of sacrifice, and his appearance, as bright as light with a company from all the glory of his Kingdom, did frighten these men and many were likened to dead, and others fled in terror . . . For they remembered Jesus before the execution and how he had driven them out of the Temple courtyard.

And they were stricken with heartfelt terror and all the sacrifices ceased that day in the Temple, for all were afraid, and none could be had to buy or sell there, forcing their captives to be set free.

But the elders and priests were greatly angered at these reports, and believed them not; but this did not change the minds of those affirmed, for they believed their eyes and felt in their hearts the awesome power of Jesus' words as if a powerful whip had been lashed across their backs! And many of these same men did now believe that Jesus was sent forth from God, to set the innocents free whom they had captured, and to deliver the oppressed from their hands, for they turned from their evil ways, and sinned no more.

And Jesus did appear unto many others in love and mercy and healing, for great testimony was reported that would fill many books concerning all that Jesus did. Thus on account of these many things, much light and gladness was bestowed on the righteous in heart, but only great fear engrossed the wicked, who believed not and obeyed not the word of Christ.

And Jesus thus appeared unto all of his disciples, and taught them many things concerning the reason for his visit on earth, and his disciples were amazed, for never had Jesus spoke this way before.

And Jesus said unto them: "All Peace be unto you, for even as the Great Eternal Father-Mother hath sent me unto you, so I send you unto others."

And Jesus now breathed on them and said, "Now, receive ye the Holy Spirit of Wisdom, and go ye forth unto the meek and give unto them the words of my Gospel which I taught you, one and all. And announce unto them that the Son of Man is not dead but lives! Yea, teach ye them the Holy Law of Love even as I did teach you . . . Baptize them who believe and repent in the knowledge of the Holy Way, bless and anoint them for life. And remember ye the Pure Oblation and do so only as I have commanded you, which I have appointed unto you for a Memorial of me.

"For Lo, I have given my all, that the sin against humane love may be forgiven of men and angels, for I come to restore all things unto their original nature, that the root may unite with the Father and be one again.

"Offer then ye, only the Bread of Life and the Water of Salvation, for a Pure Oblation with incense, even as it is written of me, and ye shall eat and drink thereof for a Memorial unto me. For the Son of Man cometh to earth to deliver all who believe in me, from the slavery and bondage of evil powers, yea, the bondage of your ancestors.

"For these are the very ones, who, making a god of their belly, sacrifice unto their evil gods, the innocent creatures of the earth, in place of the carnal nature within themselves. For they did eat of their flesh, and did drink their blood, to their own ruination, and corrupted their bodies, making unto themselves tombs for the dead, instead of temples of the living.

"Yea, and because of their lusts, they shortened their days upon the earth, even as the unholy who know not the truth, or who knowing it, have changed it into a lie. From such ones and evil doctrines, I have redeemed many, even as ye shall redeem many in my name.

"Therefore, tell ye these things to all those of righteous hearts, that they may know truth and be saved, for even as I send you, send ye others also. For I say unto ye, ye are not alone, but the Holy Spirit of Wisdom shall guide you in all things. Fear not, nor be of faint heart, but take courage in the strength of all wisdom and prayer.

And it was the eighth day, the first day of the week on the Holy Calendar that Jesus again appeared to his disciples, who were assembled behind locked doors.

And Jesus said unto them: "All Peace be unto you . . . Love ye one another and all the creatures of God, and ye shall do well in all things, always. But know ye this thing, not all are men, who are in the form of man, for I ask ye, are they men or women after the image of God whose ways are of violence and of evil, and oppression? Yea, who choose a lie rather than the truth!

"Nay, for verily, lest they are born again, and receive the Spirit of Humane Love and Wisdom within their hearts, then only are they the true sons and daughters of Israel . . . The sons and daughters of light, the children of God. And for this reason, come I into the world, and for this cause have I suffered at the hands of sinners, that all may know the humane love and wisdom of the Holy Law demonstrated before men and angels.

"For I say unto ye, no greater sin or evil be, than the ignorance and stubbornness of man, for ignorance begets fear and fear begets violence and bloodshed, and the innocent suffer greatly; thus the evil of man is self-begotten, for not even Satan has power over the minds of men, for men can choose the good or the evil.

"But the evil way is broad and bringeth forth much vain glory and illicit pleasure. Thus man seeks after the desires of the eyes and the body, and thus lusts after things unholy and without profit unto the soul. Yea, I beheld lusts in mankind, unlike any other thing that hindereth spirituality, for man chooses the evil over the good and troubles the soul. Much calamity comes forth and overwhelms the senses and mankind become as demons, looking to hurt one another and every innocent creature of God. Be ye not like such ones, who choose evil over good, to satisfy the lusts and passions of the body, but look upon the innocent creatures of God as thy brothers and sisters in need of compassion and love-for truly I tell ye, even the least of these are my brothers and sisters, and I am in them even as they are in me.

"Yea, I did come into the midst of the world, and in the flesh of man was I seen and heard by many, and I found all men glutted with their lusts and pleasures, for all were of the carnal nature, and sought after every hurtful desire of the body. Yea, they were all drunk with their own follies and self-deceptions, blasphemers, lovers of money, eaters of much flesh, drinkers of wine, greedy, blind guides, licentious and wicked, liars, thieves, cheats, prostitutes, all hungry for every evil fruit.

"And my soul grieveth, for I found none hungry or athirst for the true wisdom of God. Yea, the sons and daughters of men are blind in their heart, and in their soul are they deaf and hear not my voice which leadeth them to salvation. For they have abandoned true love and the angels of mercy and joy and all peace for the wicked desires of their heart. And they allow their bodies to enslave their souls in sin and ignorance, for their garments of flesh know not the spiritual soul and imprison all evil thoughts and desires within themselves. The angels of the Earthly Mother have they neglected and the angels of the Heavenly Father they have cast off, and every unholy law of the evil one they delight in and take refuge.

And Jesus continued teaching his disciples, that they might understand the sacred mysteries of God, and he said unto them: "For I say unto ye, a sacred truth and mystery, for even as the whole world has been ruined in the beginning by the sin and vanity of woman, so by the simplicity and truth of woman, shall it be saved. Know ye this, then, curse not a woman ever, nor look down upon her weakness in ignorance, for earthly man knows not the deficiency of woman to judge or understand. Yea, woman do ye respect, for woman is the mother of the universe and all truth of divine creation rests within her. She is the foundation of all that is good and from her the motherhood exists.

"Yea, the man who honors a woman, honors his own mother and daughter, for mother is second only to God as a sacred being. Know ye, therefore, the Father-Mother God above has given place to every creation in the grand household of Life, for every thing under the angel of sun, has come into the world by God's good pleasure and blessing, and all things, weak and strong, live because of the Holy Law.

"I come therefore to restore all things to their original root, that all things may again know God, and be in oneness with the All. Thus shall the deficiency be healed and all things returned to their own nature. Only then shall the all-peace come upon the earth and be as in Heaven, for many things are amiss and astray because of the evil of man and his intervention, but the Son of Man cometh to correct all things and set all things straight. Those who have ears, hear . . ."

And Jesus continued to appear unto his disciples on various occasions, and did teach them many truths . . . And at one time, when the Holy Twelve were gathered in discussion, a question arose, "What is truth?" For the disciples reasoned together, that the same things appear different to various minds, and different even to the same mind at different times.

Thomas asked then: "What is truth, that we may know for a certainty?" And while the disciples were yet talking, Jesus did appear in their midst and spake unto them saying:

"Truth, being one and absolute, is in God alone, for no man, nor any nation of men, knoweth that which God alone knoweth, Who is the All-in-All. Yea, not even the Holy Angels in all their glory know the All-Truth, but God alone! Thus, I say unto ye, to men is Truth revealed, but only according to their capacity to understand and receive.

"Yea, I tell ye, the One Truth hath many sides, and one seeth one side only, and another, another side, and yet still, some see more than others, even according as it is revealed unto them."

And then Jesus displayed a shiny crystal, and said: "Look here, and behold this crystal: see how the one light is manifest in twelve faces, yea, even four times twelve, and yet each face reflecteth one ray of light, and one regardeth the one face, and another, another; but know ye, it is the one crystal, and the one light that shineth in all . . . So it is with the One Truth.

"I am the Truth and the Way and the Life, and have given to you the Truth I have received from above. Aside from this Truth, no truth exists, this being the All-Truth of God. Therefore, I tell ye, that which is seen and received by one, is not seen and received by another, just as that which appeareth true to some, seemeth not true to others.

"Yea, they who are in the valley below, see not as they who are on the hilltop above. But to each, it is the Truth as the one mind seeth it for that time, till a higher Truth shall be revealed unto the same; and to the soul which rejoiceth in higher light, brighter light shall be given.

"Wherefore, I tell ye, condemn not others, who see not the light as you see, but be patient with them, that ye not be condemned. For I tell ye truly, as ye keep the holy law of Love, which I

have given unto you, so shall the Truth be revealed more and more unto you, and the Spirit of Truth which cometh from above shall guide you, albeit through many wanderings unto all Truth, even as the fiery cloud guided the children of Israel through the wilderness.

"Be ye faithful to the light ye have, then, till a higher and more glorious light is given you. Ever seek ye more light, and ye shall have abundantly; rest not, till ye find the All-Truth, wherein all joy and peace awaits thee.

"Know ye that God giveth you All-Truth, as a ladder with many steps, for the salvation and perfection of the soul, and the truth that satisfies today, ye will surely abandon for the higher truth of the morrow. For ye shall be called my children of light, even sons and daughters of the Eternal Light. Yea, my dear children, press ye unto Perfection, and be ye complete in all things holy and pure. For I say unto ye, whoso keepeth the holy law which I have given, the same shall save their souls, however differently they may see the truths which I have given, for in time they shall know the All-Truth, if they truly are my disciples.

"Thus seek after the All-Truth with humble heart and sincerity of spirit, and the light of the lamp will wax brighter and brighter, ever illuminating thy minds with understanding. Seek ye the All-Truth with love and devotion of spirit and mine angels shall watch over thy souls and lead thee unto eternal salvation.

"Know ye, the holy angels of God cleave unto you when ye seek the All-Truth, but forsake the All-Truth and mine angels minister not unto ye, but wicked angels come unto ye with every vain deception and lie, and where be the angels of Satan, mine angels tread not.

"Thus, I say unto ye, that many shall say unto me, 'Lord, Lord, we have been zealous for thy Truth, reward us! Reward us!' But I shall say unto them, 'Nay, nay, for ye teach the truth only as ye see, and none other truth beside! Have not I said unto ye, Faith without works of charity and mercy are dead, Love is the fulfillment of the law!"'

"Yea, how shall faith in what they receive profit them that work in unrighteousness, and without mercy and love? Lest they

honor my holy law and keepeth my commandments, they seek not after the All-Truth, but are satisfied in their hearts with truth as they see it.

"Truly, I say unto ye, there is no light in darkness, nor truth in the lie. Whatever things agree not with my laws, originate in darkness and cometh not from the source of light that sees all things and knows all things. Thus they who have the All-Love have all things, for without love there is no worthy work in man nor angel.

"Yea, let each hold what he sees to be truth in humane love, knowing that where such love is not, truth is but a dead letter and profiteth nothing. Lo, there abide Goodness, and Truth, and Beauty, but I tell ye truly, the greatest of these is humane goodness, for a man of humane nature careth for the souls of all and looketh not after his own reward, but rewardeth all the creatures of God.

"For, if any hateth their own fellows, how be it they seek the All-Truth, or how be it that they ever see the All-Truth? Doth a man carry a broken vessel to the well to fetch water? Such are as broken cisterns that hold not the waters of truth, for they themselves are dry wells unable to contain the living waters of life.

"And if any harden their hearts to the innocent creatures of God's hands, yea, our lesser brothers and sisters, even from the weakest to the strongest, how be it they see Truth unto salvation, seeing their eyes are blind, and their hearts hardened to the great Household of God? Yea, such are they who seek not the All-Truth for they want it not, nor do such men imagine any others seeking after it.

"Truly, I say unto ye, these are the blind guides that leadeth many astray, for if the blind leadeth the blind, both fall into pits of darkness and see not the light coming from above. Take heed in the age to come, great shall be the. blind guides who careth not for the sheep and who speak the lie for truth, for in that age to come truth will be likened unto fine pearls hidden among lost treasures, buried deep in the bowels of the earth."

"But I say unto ye, Truth is the Mightiness of God, and has no equal, and it shall prevail without fail in the end, and win over all error and every ignorance. Yea, Truth shall be made manifest and the sheep shall know the All-Truth of God, for there is no thing mightier than truth, and neither man nor angel has power enough to suppress the All-Truth.

"Thus, I say unto ye, even as I have received this Truth, so have I given it unto you to understand and receive. Let each one receive it according to his light and ability, and persecute not those who receive it after a different interpretation.

"Be patient and give unto them the light I have given unto you, for few among men shall fully understand the All-Truth of God. But this thing remember ye, one and all, the Holy Law which I have given unto you, is plain for all to understand, for it is just and good, and it alone shall guide you unto the light.

"Let all observe this Holy Law for the salvation of their souls, for the law is sufficient unto you all and a lamp unto thy feet. For the keeping of the Holy Law means eternal life, and those who keep it shall be called the eternal children of light. Be ye not then as those who think they know the All-Truth but know not, but be constant in thy seeking and every door shall be opened unto you, for only the All-Truth sets free from bondage to ignorance and sin. Yea, be ye humane and the All-Truth shall fill thy souls with light tenfold brighter than the morning sun, for love fulfills the law and perfects the children of God . . ."

And then Jesus spake on the Order of God's Kingdom and at the request of Mary Magdalene, who asked: "Master, do declare unto us the Order of God's Kingdom."

And Jesus answered her question with much knowledge un-known to man before that time . . . Jesus said unto them: "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. But I tell each of ye, the time cometh when that which is within shall be made manifest in the without, for the salvation of the world. For as ye know, Order is good, and needful, but before all things is humane love.

"For if ye love one another and all the creatures of God, by this shall all men know that ye are my true disciples and ambassadors of the kingdom order . . ."

And another disciple asked, "Righteous Teacher, tell us please how shall the infants be received into the congregation according to kingdom order? For Moses commanded circumcision of the flesh, even as the Jews do accept."

And Jesus answered them and said: "At what time ever did the True God of Heaven and Earth command such mutilation of the

flesh? Moses commanded circumcision of the heart, but those of evil heart commanded circumcision of the flesh after the pagans who keep not my law, nor know the True God of Love.

"For I say unto ye, since time immemorial for all those who are in Christ, the true vine, there is no cutting of the flesh, nor shedding of blood! Know ye, the custom of mutilation brings forth sensual lust and desire of illicit pleasures which set the heart afire and every manner of evil is begotten.

"Yea, those who practice such for self-gratification and the misuse of natural sex for procreation are accursed as the demons who invented this evil thing. Be ye not among them who practice such evil in the name of good, for no good thing cometh from hot passions aflame with fire for unlawful intercourse. Such ones have become lower in nature than the devils who forsook the Holy Law for self-destruction.

"Whatsoever cometh forth from woman is complete and needeth nothing of man, but will come forth in life either to good or to evil, according to the root and disposition. Alter not the laws of nature, lest ye corrupt thyselves and suffer many errors.

"For the Christ commands only this, even as Moses so commandeth--that every infant of eight days be presented to the Father-Mother, who is in Heaven, with prayer and thanksgiving. And let a name be given to it by its parents, and let the holy man sprinkle pure water upon it, even according to that which is written in the Prophets.

"And let its parents see to it that the child is raised up in the way of righteousness, neither eating flesh, nor drinking strong drink, nor harming the creatures which God hath given in the hands of man to protect and cherish.

"And after seven years or when they begin to know the evil from the good, and learn to choose the good, let them come unto me and receive the blessing at the hands of a holy one of the church or from an angel of God . . . .

"Yea, with prayer and thanksgiving, and let them be admonished to keep from flesh-eating and strong drink always, and from hunting the innocent creatures of God, for shall they be lower than the horse or the sheep, who hunt not, and to whom such things are against their nature?

"Know ye the humane teachings of the Holy Law fulfill the law of love! Raise ye up a child in the law then, for only the law

maketh a true man of God."

And the disciple again asked Jesus: "If there come to us any that eat flesh and drink strong drink, shall we receive them into the congregation?"

And Jesus said unto them: "According to the Order of the Kingdom, let such abide in the outer court till they cleanse themselves from their gross evils; for until they understand their own evils, and repent of these, they are not fit to receive the higher mysteries of the Kingdom.

"Teach ye them the humane love of the Holy Law, and if they receive it well, you have won over a brother or sister in the Lord. Be ye patient always, but also be ye cautious. Cast not the fine pearls before evil men who repent not and appreciate not the beauty of the good life."

And then another disciple asked Jesus: "Tell us, Master according to the Kingdom Order, when wilt thou that they receive Baptism?"

And Jesus answered unto him: "And yet another seven years, or when they understand the truth of the Holy Law and do only that which is good, and are firmly set in the holy way to life and health. Then let them ask for initiation and ask the holy man of God or the angel of God to examine them and see if they are worthy, and let him offer thanksgiving and prayer.

"And bury them in the waters of separation, even as I myself while in the flesh was buried in the waters of the Jordan by John. For only in this manner, they may use to newness of life, the confessing of God as their Father and Mother, and vowing to obey the Holy Law, and keep themselves separate from the evil in the world. For I tell ye, truly, there exists no evil in the world of nature, except that evil which originates in the evil hearts of men who allow themselves to be tempted of the devil."

And still another disciple asked Jesus: "Master, also tell us at what time shall they receive the anointing?"

And Jesus answered: "Only when they have reached the age of spiritual maturity, and have manifested in themselves the sevenfold gifts of the Spirit. Then ask the holy angel to offer prayer and thanksgiving and seal them with the holy seal of the Chrism.

"And I tell ye, It is good that all be tried in each degree seven years, but nevertheless let it be unto each according to their spiritual growth in the love, and the knowledge of God."

And then another disciple asked concerning proper holy

marriage . . . And Jesus answered saying: "I give to ye according to the Holy Law, even of old time, a more perfect way than the marriages of the nations that keep not the law of the True God. Behold, whereby marriage should be between one man and one woman, who by perfect love and sympathy are united as one, and that while love and life do last, howbeit in perfect freedom. But know ye this first, that they have perfect spiritual and physical health, and that they truly love each other in all purity after the law and not for worldly advantage.

"And know also such ones must not bear children, lest first they keepeth the holy law to cherish the creatures of the great Household of God, for if they care not for the lesser of my creatures, they are not fit to bear sons and daughters of man. Therefore if they bear children, let them do so with full discernment and prudence according to their ability to maintain a family, for such is good and holy in the eyes of God.

"But if they choose not to bear children, then let them remain chaste and pure and not defile their flesh with hot passions like burning fire as the lawless nations do. For the chaste life is pure and holy and is blessed among mankind.

"Yea, for the nations enter into marriage to satisfy sexual appetite, for they lust after what God has pronounced sacred and pure, in an evil manner according to their fleshly passions and desires. And much life is poured onto the ground in sacrifice to Satan. Be ye not as these sons and daughters of darkness, lest ye also corrupt thy spiritual temple within ye, for truly I tell ye, whosoever spilleth the precious fluids of life in waste, for sake of lust and illicit pleasure, killeth his own soul and that of his sister and brother.

"For behold, the animals who were placed below the godship of man lust not after illicit pleasure contrary to their nature, but procreate in season only to fill the earth. So be it with man, that he look to the animals and learn the laws of God and reminders of nature, for all things were made after the goodness of God.

"And no good thing exists outside the order or unity of the kingdom of nature, for any thing that worketh on its own outside the order of nature is evil and not of God. Nevertheless, I say to those who would be perfect and to whom it is given, let them be as the angels of God in Heaven, who neither marry nor are given in marriage, nor bear children, nor worry about the cares for the morrow; but are free from all bonds, even as I am free now. For such are the

ones that keep and store up the power of God within, for their ministry, and for the works of healing only . . . ."

And Jesus continued to answer many more questions of his disciples on the Order of the Kingdom . . . And on the communal way of life as practiced by the holy Essenes from time immemorial, Jesus did instruct them also, saying: "When my disciples are gathered in my name, let them choose from among themselves true and faithful men and women, who shall be ministers and counselors in the material needs of the commune. Yea, let them provide for the necessities of the poor and of the aged, also the widows and the orphans, and those sick and disabled.

"Yea, whosoever needeth the love of the Household of God, let them be so gathered among the communities of the Brotherhood, for such a way is ordained of God. Let these faithful ones look to the ordering of all the needs of the community and also assist at the Oblation, for such are they who will shepherd the flock of God with love and mercy.

"And be ye as the innocent creatures of God and seek ye the beauty of the countryside and live not in crowded cities wherein every evil deed worketh against the true nature of life. But be ye close to the angels of the earthly mother and rejoice in the seven-fold peace and the communions of thy Father-Mother in heaven and the All-Peace shall come upon ye, for the angels of the Father will strive along with ye and continue to instruct ye in the true peace of eternal life."

And Jesus continued to tell his disciples, men and women, the Order of the Kingdom. And he said unto them: "For among the faithful ones chosen, some will have spiritual gifts of guidance, some of prophecy, and of preaching and teaching and also healing....The most worthy shall always preside over the all and he shall be your Angel.

"Yea, even as ye see the working of the brotherhood this day, so ye shall keep the same order for as long as ye remain in the holy way of life.

"For truly I tell ye, if ye remain faithful in all things, hunger and thirst of body nor heat and cold of day or night shall claim ye

never, nor shall ye cometh to disappointment on my account, but find eternal peace and joy for thy souls.

"Remember to love ye one another and remain in the one fold, and live ye not alone in the city with unbelievers and evil men, but live ye all together in purity of body, of mind, and of heart among your true sisters and brothers, even as they live in the All-Truth this day.

"For ye are the sheep of God that seeketh the security of the fine Shepherd. Be ye not mingled with wolves that scatter the flock and do injury to the innocent. Yea, flee the cities, and be ye ever concealed from evil men among the forests and mountains of the land, wherein ye shall dwell in safety and be not afraid nor ever be in want.

"For every manner of evil men dwelleth in the cities of buyers and sellers. Be ye not among such men, but keep free from the merchants who maketh a god of riches and work great harm against the innocent creatures of God. Keep ye my words, and ye shall lack nothing, nor shall thy hearts feel anxiety or thy bodies sickness, but all shall go well, with whosoever keepeth my laws and commandments.

"For as I send forth Apostles and Prophets, so also I send Evangelists and Pastors, the eight and forty pillars of the tabernacle, that by the ministry of the four, I may build up and perfect my Church, for they shall serve as a holy congregation of saints.

"And to them shall the scattered congregations refer in all spiritual matters . . . And as the light becometh brighter, so shall they rule and guide and edify and teach in my holy Church....And forget not with your prayers and supplication, intercession and giving of thanks, to offer the incense, as it is written in the last of your prophets, saying: From the rising of the sun unto the setting of the same, incense shall be offered unto my Name in all places with a Pure Oblation, for My Name shall be great among all the nations.

"For verily I say unto you, incense is the memorial of the intercession of the saints within the veil, with words that cannot be uttered until the time is fulfilled. And know ye always, the Pure Oblation which God loveth in secret is a pure heart that obeyeth the Holy Law.

"Keep ye therefore the Holy Law sacred and undefiled, and all truth shall be added unto you, for my law is the guiding light in a world of gross darkness. Yea, if ye seek first the kingdom of

righteousness, all other things shall be given unto you. But I tell ye, in all things seek ye simplicity, and give not occasion to vain glory. Yea, seek ye first to be clothed with charity, for charity maketh for a humane heart and a good soul, as sweet as the blossoms of Springtime. Seek ye these things first, and then shall be added unto you the garment of salvation and the robe of righteousness.

"For truly, I say unto ye, what doth it profit if ye have not these? Yea, as the sound of brass and tinkling of cymbal are ye, if ye have not true love among yourselves and for the innocent creatures of God. Seek ye then all righteousness and love and the All-Peace, and every fruit of the Spirit that the Law giveth unto you, and all things of beauty shall be added to you, and truly ye shall know the True Eternal God, and God knoweth you.

"Know ye that I am the Way, the Life and the Hope of all mankind. Any man whoso trusteth in me shall never see death but shall live again, for I am the Resurrection of All Life. Trust in my words and gain ye the salvation of your soul." And Jesus continued

to answer many other questions of his disciples, and pondered their every need, and spake to them many mysteries of God.

And the disciples did listen to Jesus' words and were amazed at the wisdom he spake. And one of them asked Jesus of the Sabbath Day. And Jesus answered them saying:

"When my disciples are come together on the Holy Sabbath at even, or in the morn of the first day of the holy week, let them each bring according to their worth, an offering of a tithe, or the tithe of a tithe of their increase, even as God doth prosper them, and let them put it in the treasury, for the upkeep of the commune and church, and all the works thereof.

"Remember ye not to hold back good from the household of God, lest ye fall into evil ways, whereby greed and selfishness are as sister and brother. Know ye that such originate with the evil one, who careth not for man, nor for the angels nor for God. For I say unto you, it is more blessed to give than to receive-for if ye give of material possessions to the Godly poor, God shall reward ye tenfold, the spiritual blessing from above.

"So shall all things be done decently and in order among the sisters and brothers of the communes and congregations of the righteous. For the rest will the Spirit set in order who proceedeth from the Father-Mother in heaven. Know ye, then, all things must be accomplished to the Kingdom Order, if ye be saints of the Lord.

"Keep ye the Sabbath Day a Memorial unto my Holy Laws and remember ye the words of Enoch my prophet, who doth receive the laws of the stars by Uriel. Keep ye these laws perfect, lest ye err in thy holy calendar, for the nations know not my laws and the ways of the heavenly bodies.

"For from time immemorial hath the laws of heaven ruled over thy earth and its days and its nights. Be ye faithful to Uriel, my timekeeper of all eternity. Know ye the Sabbath and its true meaning, that ye be perfect sons of God, lest ye corrupt thy ways and thy customs and follow the lawless who trust in folly and hearsay.

"Yea, the great timepieces of heaven err not. Study my heavens that ye may perfect thy ways, and be ye ready for my return. Thus I have given unto ye the sign of the fish, that ye among the nations may know of me and the manner in which I come unto you. If ye believe Jonah, ye shall believe me. If ye believe me, ye shall know the sign and the times. Search ye the heavens, even as thy forefathers, who watched for my birth. Count ye the Jubilees, and my Sabbaths, and ye shall deliver yourselves unto All-Truth."

"Know ye, my brothers and sisters, that life is sacred and holy, and all pleasure cometh forth from life itself, for all living things. Small and great rejoiceth in living for the joy of life. Be ye cautious, then, that ye be of good pleasure and great joy. But be not excessive in thy ways, in that all pleasure taketh away the real joy set before thy face, for no greater joy or pleasure can be, than to know the humane love and compassion of thy sisters' and brothers' needs.

"Thus, do service unto them all, and to every member of the great household of life, for every creature rejoiceth in his master and keeper. Yea, behold this animal before my face. Lest I feed it and cherish it, it loveth me not, but if thou doth feed and protect the beasts of the earth, then great rejoicing taketh place in the heart of every beast.

"Thus I say unto ye, such maketh the face of God Shine forth, when the sons of man seek humane love and compassion. For all happiness cometh forth because of love, and no happiness exists where love is not.

"Rejoice in life, I tell ye, but also allow ye the creatures of God to rejoice, in that they remain not strangers unto you, but friends in need even as thy poor.

"And know ye after the Order of the Kingdom, ye must bring forth from the earth surplus foods, that these innocent creatures of God be nourished, lest ye forsake the angels of the Earthly Mother, and the land be accursed on thy account.

"For no living thing, small or great, must hunger or thirst under thy care, but all be satisfied, lest the law of love be unfulfilled. Yea, as little children, these innocent creatures sow not, nor reap, but are one with man in the great household of life, and looketh to man only, for mercy and compassion.

"Be ye ever kind to the least of these my children, and mine holy angels shall bless thy lands with abundant produce, and all shall be satisfied and want not. For I say unto you, if a man giveth unto the poor the excess of his garden, but holds back from the creatures of God, all shall turn to poison.

"For of what value is kindness to one but not to another? Yea, of what value or worth is feeding the poor while the creatures of God suffer greatly? Therefore I say unto ye, plant ye abundant seed, that

all may eat, and none suffer wrong, for the earth holds back not her yield, but giveth forth her all under mine angels who serveth in mercy and love towards all. Thus ye shall learn the ways of my Sabbath and all secrets shall be added unto you, if ye love one another and the creatures of God."

And after ninety days of teaching the disciples and revealing unto them many truths of the Kingdom Order, . . . Jesus led forth the Holy Twelve with Mary Magdalene, and Joseph his father, and Mary his mother, and other holy women to a mountain named Olivet, where he had appointed them . . .

And Jesus spake unto them, saying, "Behold, I have chosen you from among men, and have given you the Holy Law and Word of Truth. Yea, I have set you as the Light of the world, as a city that cannot be hid. But verily, I tell ye, the time cometh when spiritual darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people, and the enemies of truth and righteousness shall rule in my Name, as a mockery of truth, and they shall set up a kingdom of this world, and oppress many people.

"And thus shall they cause the enemy to blaspheme truth, by replacing my doctrines with the opinions of evil men. Yea, thus shall they teach in my Name that which I have not taught, and they shall darken much truth that I have taught, by their worthless traditions and lies!

"Many shall say, look ye here, and look ye over there, but truth shall not be found in them. But sadden not, and take courage, for the appointed time will also come when the truth they have hidden and suppressed shall be manifested, and the light shall shine, and the darkness shall pass away, and the true kingdom of righteousness shall be established in the world, and all false prophets shall be exposed and put to shame.

"For by their own ignorance and deceptive measures shall they be self-exposed as liars and frauds, speaking untruths in my Name, in which I spake not unto you.

"For I say unto ye, evil destroys evil and thus shall the tongues of evil men speak no more, for by their own evil works shall they be consumed and forgotten. For whosoever speaketh a lie in my Name, by such Satan shall judge and condemn.

"Yea, I have instructed you now in the first principles, and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the age . . . And now I go to my Parent and your Parent, My God and your God . . . But after seven days ye shall receive power from on high . . . The Holy Spirit shall be fulfilled unto you, and ye shall go forth from Jerusalem, unto all of Israel, and to the uttermost parts of the earth to establish the humane love of the Holy Law that I so freely have given unto you.

"Thus hath the sons of men received me in the flesh and in the spirit, in that all things were accomplished and fulfilled-for in the age to come, ye shall all know the truths and mysteries of God and my Church. But now, I depart from ye, with words of comfort, knowing the Holy Spirit of Wisdom shall watch over ye and thy works forevermore.

"Be ye all of great courage and good cheer, and so conquer the world of evil even as I so conquered. For I say unto ye, the holy law is mighty and no evil is stronger than humane love. Love ye one another and the world shall know ye are my true disciples. Yea, love conquers every evil and man has the power to work good or evil. Demonstrate ye, the true love of God that all may know the True God of Love, for the world is without love but hath only violence and greed. Work ye charity in all things, that all the sheep may come to know truth and love. Be ye perfect shepherds, and the All Truth shall follow ye everywhere.

"For I say unto ye, ye shall see me again in the age to come, and before, but know ye that terrible things shall first take place, for the world will progress in evil, for evil begets evil, and lawlessness, the ungodly and unbelievers.

"For many are the happenings that shall come to pass, for in that age and before, men shall set up the kingdom of the lawless, and my Holy Laws will not be spoken nor come to mind, and great cruelties shall they work against the Earthly Mother and her innocent creatures, and great signs shall be manifest in the heavens and on the earth. Know ye then, the prophets are true, for all things shall come to pass even as they spoke according to my word I commanded unto them.

"But be ye not afraid or terrified, for mine elect shall pass through the commotion of the wicked without hurt or scar, for I am with ye alway, and in no way or manner shall ye come to disappointment or failure. May the All-Peace of the earthly angels be with

ye, and may the All-Love and Mercy of God be a part of ye. I give ye my peace always peace be with ye, my dear brothers and sisters."

And having said these things unto his disciples, Jesus lifted up his pure and holy hands and blessed his disciples and said unto them: "Remember ye always my words, and keep the Holy Law sacred before all men as testimony of righteousness unto them. Again, I say unto ye, Peace be unto you, my dearly beloved brothers and sisters of the Great Household of God."

And it came to pass that while Jesus blessed them, he was parted from them, and a cloud as the sun in brightness, received him out of sight....

And while the disciples yet gazed steadfastly into heaven, behold two stood by them in pure white apparel, and said: "Why stand ye gazing into heaven; surely this same Jesus who is taken from ye in a cloud, shall so come in like manner from within a cloud, and as ye have seen him go into heaven, so shall he come again to the earth at the appointed time of the age . . . ."

And it was mid-summer when Jesus ascended into heaven, and he had not yet attained his 50th year, for it was needful that seven times seven years should be fulfilled in his life, even as the Jubilee marketh the age of every time and season-yea, that he might be perfected by the suffering of all human experience, and be an example unto all, to children and those of full age. Yea, and unto all ages and conditions of mortal life, that by the Holy Law, all his sheep might hear his voice and come out of darkness into the light. For great and many were the reasons the Christ came into the world in form of human flesh, that he might deliver many, and set free those in bondage to Satan and thus show forth the Total power of the Eternal All.

And thus did God by great mercy and love demonstrate unto the earth, the glory of His Son in that all men might know good from evil and right from wrong, for in all things did Jesus prove himself truthful and holy. For never in the history of the world was a man loved by so many races of people. Little children adored him, wise men stood in awe of him, men and women put faith in him, and the creatures of God did recognize him as the humane son of God, the creator and giver of many lives.

Yea, the earth was visited by a God and the people were over-

joyed in his great wisdom and speech, for never had any of the prophets acted in such a manner. Truly, this was Jesus, anointed with the Christ to bear glad tidings of the Holy Law to the poor and broken hearted, to deliver the oppressed and aid the needy, to set free from bonds and chains the prisoners of darkness, to love and cherish even the tiniest of God's creatures to the greatest, to set man the perfect example to follow and obey.

Truly this was the humane Jesus, man at his very best, man at his perfected spiritual and physical maturity, the true creation and image of God. And the people were sad at his departure and they longed for the age to come when they would see him again and listen to his voice and the good news of his message. But his disciples believed he would return again in the age to come and before, and it came to pass that just as Jesus had promised his disciples, the Holy Spirit did arrive to guide them in Light.

And as the disciples were gathered together in the upper room, . . . they all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, and their number was about 120.

And it was that day, James stood up among them and said: "True disciples of the Lord, it is known unto you how the Master, before he left us, chose Peter to preside over us and watch over us in his Name; and how it must needs be that one of those who have been with us and a witness to his resurrection be chosen and appointed to take Peter's place."

And they chose two called Barsabas and Matthias, and they prayed and said, "Thou All God and Lord, Who knowest the hearts of all men, shew which of these two thou hast chosen to take part in this Apostleship, from which thou dost raise thy servant Peter to preside over us."

And they each gave forth their word, and the choice fell upon Matthias, and the Twelve received him, and he was numbered among the Apostles from that day. Then John and James separated Peter from their number by laying on of hands, that he might preside over them in the Name of the Lord, saying, "Brother, be thou as a hewn stone, six-squared. Yea, even thou, Petros, which art Petra, bearing witness to the Truth on every side."

And to the Apostles were given staves, with power of holy angels, to guide their steps in the ways of truth and Kingdom Order;

and crowns of glory withal; and to the Prophets, spiritual perception alikened unto burning lamps to shew light on the pathway to all truth and censers with fire; and to Evangelists, the book of the Holy Law to recall the people to the first principles of humane love; and to the Pastors were given the cup and the platter to feed and nourish the flock of their material needs, even all those of the holy communes and congregations of God.

But to none was given aught that was not given to all, for all were one holy priesthood under the Christ as their Master and Great High Priest in the one Temple of God; and to the assistants were given baskets that they might carry therein the things needful for holy worship in spirit and truth.

And the number was about 120, with Peter presiding over them all. And it came to pass when the third day had fully come, they were all with one accord in the one place, and as they prayed, there came a sound from heaven as of a mighty rushing wind, and the room in which they were assembled was shaken, and all were afraid, for they knew not what to expect, but the wind filled the place with the All Calmness of God, and they perceived that the Holy Spirit had arrived even as Jesus had promised.

And the disciples were uplifted by the Holy Spirit and great wisdom was bestowed upon them and they were able to speak in different languages, even as the Spirit did give unto them utterance to speak.

Thus was the sign given unto them to preach and teach to the meek of the nations, even from whence they came, for in the beginning the holy law was given unto the Adamic race, and the sons of Adam did deliver it up unto their sons and their sons after them, in that every generation of man and every nation was given the holy law, but few were they who obeyed it.

And Peter stood up in their midst and preached the Holy Law of Christ unto the multitude of all peoples and tongues who were gathered together by the report of what had been seen and heard of the Holy Spirit of Wisdom.

And each man and woman did hear the law in his own tongue wherein each was born. And the testimony of the holy way of life

was great among the people, and of them that listened were gathered into Christ that day, 3000 souls.

Yea, they received the Holy Law, repented of their sins, and were baptized, and did continue steadfast in the Apostles' fellowship.

And they who believed gave up their wealth and possessions and did sell all things and gave the proceeds to the Pastors of the communes, for they held all things in common and abode together in one place, even as Christ had commanded them. For by doing so, they fulfilled the law of love, shewing all kindness and goodness of God unto their brothers and sisters and all the creatures born of innocent nature, thereby working with their hands, an honest work for the commonweal.

And many were the Essene communes of the followers of the holy way, wherein all lived according to Kingdom Order and in love. For among the communities, it was just as Jesus had spoken even to their fathers and their forefathers before them, for only there existed no hunger or thirst for spiritual or physical food, and the aged man and the widow were not cast out, and the orphan and the inflicted were welcome.

Yea, the spirit of humane love did prevail over all matters, and the nations outside looked upon these children of light as a special race, holy before God and Angels, a race unto God without sin or complaint.

And no man of the outside spake an evil word against them, for no fault could be found in them, nor could there be found error among their ways, but only oneness of faith and devotion to the humane laws of God and the Kingdom Order.

Thus did they prove themselves examples of Christ in all things and ambassadors of his Kingdom amidst a world of evil desires and corrupt men. They were in the world but were not part of it, even as Jesus had spoken.

And the holy men of God did go forth as healers among mankind, teaching the cures of nature unto the people. And unto the nations they were known by the name of "Essenes" which means when translated, healers and saviours of the people, for they healed every physical and spiritual ill of any who wanted to become followers of the Essene way of life.

And their fame as such spread over the whole of the earth and every nation came to know of their wisdom and knowledge; but they were humble in spirit and gave all credit and blessing unto God only as the giver of Peace and Joy, health and long life.

Thus did the disciples introduce the holy way of life unto all nations, even as Christ commanded them to teach the meek of the earth.

And it came to pass after many things were said and done according to the Kingdom Order, the disciples gathered together one even and discussed the sayings of Jesus, and among the things spoken were these:

Peter talking to the disciples gathered round about him said, "Remember ye, my brothers and sisters of the holy life, our One Master and Teacher said unto us concerning our moods and dispositions, for he with unto us the one time and again: 'Look ye at the innocent creatures of God whenever ye become despondent, and see how they rejoiceth in life, even though they own not one thing, for the heaven is their roof, and the field their bed, but they complain not, neither do they worry or bother for the morrow.

"'Yea, look at their joy and happiness, and yet they gather no foodstuffs or drink, nor are they given to gluttony, but eat only when nature agrees. Thus my innocent creatures of life do teach the sons of men lessons, for the hour and the day.

"'Look therefore and learn, for these creatures are arrayed with the All-Beauty of God and rejoice in life and love and looketh to man as keeper and benefactor. Be thou kind to them, and the

Father-Mother shalt shower ye with great blessings, for they are in Him and He in them. Be ye good to them alway and God shall be good to ye alway."'

And the disciples did give ear unto Peter's speech and listened attentively. And Peter continued: "Remember ye also, the words of the Master, when he spake concerning the degrees of truth. Yea, keep ye these things in mind without fail, and no stumbling block shall ever overtake ye, for he saith to us: 'Seek ye the Light with patience and without letup, for God loves those men who seek Him out, and search His laws, and obey them.

"'Yea, know ye, the Light of truth cometh forth brighter

with each passing day. For those who knock, the door will be open. And know ye the Light of Truth soon becomes the Light of the All-Truth, according to one's degree of love and understanding. But in all things be ye patient and pray, and the light shall be added unto you. Yea, be ye humane, and the all-truth shall follow you alway, and ye shall be known among the people as my children of light."'

And Peter continued to speak about the sayings of Jesus and refreshed the memories of the disciples concerning many things. And he said unto them: "Remember ye the Pure Oblation and its meaning, even as Jesus spake unto us concerning it, for because of truth and spirit in all things, did Jesus come upon the earth to restore all things to their original root and nature, that all things may be in complete harmony with the All, and that all things may be one in God and never again separate. Know ye the All-Truth cometh from heaven to restore the Kingdom Order and set all things straight, that nations might know that God is one in all things and is in all things.

"And from such do we learn of the mercy and love of the Father-Mother God. Yea, and remember above all else, to love one another and the creatures of God, lest the Light from above reacheth not thy hearts and refreshes not thy souls. For we shall be known among the people only if we shew the perfect love of God unto the sons of man, for it is of no value to be known in darkness but only in the virtues of the holy way of light."

And after many things were said and done for the further establishment of the Kingdom Order, there were heard a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory, honour, praise and pure worship be unto God Eternal, the Father, Spouse, and Son: One with the Mother, Bride and Maid: From Whom proceedeth the Eternal Spirit: By Whom are all created things. Yea, from the Ages of Ages, Now: And to the Ages of Ages that cannot be numbered or foreseen. Amen-Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!"

And then did the Holy Twelve together, in unison spake unto the people, these words: "And if any man take from, or add to, the true words of this Holy Gospel, or hide, as under a bushel, the light thereof, which is given by the Spirit through us, the twelve ambassadors, the Chosen of Christ, for the enlightenment of the world unto salvation: Let him be accursed until the coming of Christ Jesu-Maria, our Saviour with all the Holy Saints. Amen."

This concludes the Essene Humane Gospel of Jesus. In the months to come, we will be happy to announce the complete "Gospel of the Holy Twelve," from which parts of the Humane Gospel were taken. We encourage you to read and study over this most refreshing revelation made known to the world after many centuries of deliberate suppression.

We look forward to the day when the complete Dead Sea Scrolls are released, when many for the first time, will realize the true significance of this Gospel in relation to the scrolls themselves.

Eusebius, the famous early church father who refuted Constantine the Great for altering the True Essene Gospel of his time, did his utmost to restore the Essene way of life, but his efforts failed due to overbearing pressure and power from Catholic bishops.

Nevertheless, Eusebius established without a doubt that the true Gospel message, that Jesus himself proclaimed to his Holy Twelve apostles, was in fact of Essene origin, with the Essene movement being in itself pristine Christianity.

While the true facts of the early church would no doubt shock many people, and cause much confusion among the accepted orthodox religions of Christendom, the facts remain irrefutable in defense of a pure way of worship among the Essene Jews and non-Jews alike. Essenism was established with the complete kingdom order and holy laws of this Gospel in Alexandria, Egypt, long before Jerusalem became the cradle of Christianity. Such facts go to prove

that our present New Testament is not the product of Holy Spirit as claimed, but the invention of interpolaters aiming to destroy the original True Gospel of Jesus to make mass converts to a more acceptable and tolerant man-made substitute Christian religion.

Thus the early Roman church is responsible for the makeshift and deliberate altering of Jesus' words. The pure Essene way of worship was much too strict to appease pagan converts who would not give up their inhumane living styles, no more than Constantine himself would give them up.

The records of Eusebius show that it was much too late to save the pure worship within the already established universal church, for which even Constantine shows signs of regret in that he was a major cause for its falling away from truth.

In his later years Eusebius was reinstated in the Roman Church by Constantine himself, who requested his presence in order to help

restore pure worship, but by this time, the Essene bishops were outnumbered and overruled to the degree that only separation from the corrupt church itself would prove the only wise thing to do.

Thus the records state, in fact and without prejudice, that there were Essene bishops that were overruled by the orthodox majority, in favor of compromising the true gospel of Jesus. Thus the struggle began early for the battle of pure worshippers, for most were ordered to leave their churches and flock under threat of annihilation, their sacred writings being burned or confiscated.

Yes, the bloody years that followed, history would record, with countless thousands murdered for the so-called excuse of reclaiming the Holy Land. In fact, this was a pretext for destroying all those of Essene origin and any writings of such.

The religious crusades were nothing more than mass execution orders aimed at true Christians (Essenes), for the Roman Church feared the True Gospel more than anything else in the world, because it revealed the true nature of Jesus' life style and true message for the people. Hence it should come as no great surprise that such humane teachings were banished in the first place, for there was simply no room for law-loving people, who would not raise arms against their fellow man or any creature of God, who would not vote in political parties, or compromise true Kingdom loyalty, who could not be ordered to steal others' goods, or to cheat someone of their rightful inheritance, who could not be made to eat animal flesh or drink blood even at the threat of losing their lives-no, who could not be made or forced to compromise pure worship of the only True God, and the keeping of His holy laws.

The earliest Christians have been proven without a doubt, then, to be of Essene origin, which means the Essenian principles and morals. God's laws existed long before Jesus walked this earth, yes, some 5000 years before the Son of God took human form and renewed his holy law and restored pure worship. What does this mean to you? This: It means you have the right to any knowledge of the pure worship of God!

The meaning of His humane laws is in themselves they have only the making for a better and safer world, and in themselves the making for everlasting salvation.

We encourage you to exercise this right, investigate pure worship further, learn of the true meanings of God's laws and the Essene way of life, for it means your very survival into the 21 st century.

There remains no other remedy, for the nations are heading for a self-made head-on collision course for a devastating World War Three that will simply end most of present mankind. As we are writing this a newspaper headline reads: "Satellite War Danger Grows"! When men kill and eat the animals, their very bodies are full of death, which must be expressed in violence, murder, death, and war of all kinds-accelerating in speed and sophistication-now going into space! "Star Wars" indeed-no longer Science Fiction!

"Evil destroys itself," the metaphysician says, and evil man ("mortal man"-death man) is heading for destroying himself totally-indeed, the destruction of most of the life on this planet!

However, the Essene prophecies truly indicate there will be survivors of this deadly war wherein the meek will emerge victorious. You may be one of them! Jesus warned that his words would be altered to confuse and cause many to reject religion altogether, but he also said that the "all truth" would expose the liars and false prophets of every age and especially in the last age. We are living in this "last age" NOW.

Such truths are now being made available to all, and for this reason we encourage you to study our other publications and in turn help your friends and relatives also to learn more of the humane life style of Jesus, wherein only love and mercy are required as earmarks of true believers.

If you believe that this True Gospel of Jesus is what pure worship ought to be like and you agree with its message, then we invite your questions and comments.

Please feel free to contact us at the address listed below. We would also like to take this opportunity to announce that the Edenite Society is searching for proper facilities to open up to the public, a monthly system of seminars whereby one can learn more of the Essene way of life.

We are also planning an Essene Community where people of like faith can live together and share the peace and joy of the humane life style. If you are interested in our seminars or our planned Essene community, please let us know. We would appreciate hearing from you. May all peace be with you,

The Edenite Society, Inc. Imlaystown, NJ 08526

For those of you who are not familiar with the word Essene or the Essene way of Life, we hope this Humane Gospel of Jesus has enlightened you somewhat. However, we will briefly review the Essene history.

The word Essene itself has a number of meanings, but the most important true meaning is "holy one of God" and "healer" and "saviour." Thus the Essenes were in fact an ever-faithful remnant of God's beloved children of the earth-a remnant taken out from every nation of people that did hold fast to God's original law code.

Adam was the first earthly man to receive the law code orally from Angels. He then passed it on to his sons and their sons. Enoch was the first of God's prophets to record this holy law on stone tables. He in turn passed it on to his sons.

Noah carried it through the flood and again passed it on to his sons and so it went down to Moses, the prophets, Jesus, the apostles and others after them.

However, what is to be kept in mind is this: God gave the holy law to all nations, in that the meek of those nations may find salvation and peace. So while it is argued that the Jews are the closest in line of the descendants of the Adamic race, and thus the givers of the Bible to mankind, it should be realized that traces of the law can be found in every nation and civilization of man.

This would mean that God never singled out any one particular nation for His name, as He loves all of mankind and is not partial. Nor does He discriminate against His own creations. Thus the word Israel identifies with Essene, for both mean 'holy one of God,' and neither was applied only to one certain nation of people. Hence we see the Essenian doctrines spread throughout the earth, with small remnants of this Godly people found in most nations, even in Jesus' day.

The Dead Sea Scrolls, in which only small fragments thus far have been translated into English, have done little justice to the Essenes, for one can find even more up-to-date accounts given by various ancient historians. While enough valid information has long been established to inform us of their credibility, the 20th century is being greatly deprived of the greatest Biblical discovery of all time. Since their recovery in 1947, only fragments, a very small portion of the entire find, have been translated, and further work is hampered by both religious and political parties.

That the work is being deliberately suppressed for reasons unknown to Bible scholars, is public knowledge. But those of Essene tenets fully realize the situation, and do understand the tree predicament of the scrolls' owners, in that such translation would expose orthodox religions as frauds and substitutes for pure worship of God.

Nonetheless, the fact remains that more than enough factual evidence has been already released on the Essenes to make critical comparisons of the pure and the false worship of God. For example, the Essenes were ready for Jesus' coming. Not only did they foretell his birth, but they knew exactly when he would come. Every Hebrew prophet of the Old Testament was of Essene character and nature.

And every historian who wrote of them all, agree that they were a race of people unique in the earth, with moral standards of the highest degree. Only they observed the original laws of God and proved to be, in fact, the faithful remnant of the nation of Israel that remained steadfast to God's unchanging laws.

Countless prophets of Eastern religious systems also prove to be of Essene origin, often duplicating the Essene way of life for the most part, and holding to its same tenets and disciplines. Thus, many nations can lay rightful claim to the keeping of God's moral law code.

Jesus himself was reared by the Essene brotherhood and served as their Teacher of Righteousness for a time. And it was the Essenes that accepted Jesus as their Messiah, whereas the Pharisees and Saducees rejected him and wanted him put to death.

Thus the Essenes upheld and spread the very same doctrines of love and mercy as based on the humane living standards before and after Jesus' stay on earth. That they were the very fountainhead of Christianity, there can be no doubt, as numerous early Church fathers and historians as well as Bible scholars agree on the physical evidence as well as the historical foundation.

Countless books have been published on the subject and warrant public inspection for any of those who doubt these established facts.

In fact, no other religious body of worshippers of God have been both so famous and notorious as the Essenes themselves, both

during and before Jesus' birth, for at this time in history they reached their climactic strength and zeal in preparation for their coming Messiah.

It was not until the time of Constantine the Great, that the Essene Christian movement began to fall out of public favor and into notoriety, for at the world-famous Council of Nice in A.D. 325, the already-paganized Roman state religion had rejected the true Gospel of Jesus and substituted a watered-down version similar to the version found in modern Bibles.

At this world's first Christian Convention, all Essene bishops including Eusebius himself were expelled and the humane writings of Jesus were burned before their eyes-yes, many parts of the very same Gospel you have just read.

Thus the efforts of the Essene ambassadors toward the pure worship of God could not persuade the Roman emperor in any way to turn back to the truth he had previously perverted.

In retreat, the Essenes abandoned the Roman Church, and the battle for survival began. For the most part, they, the true Christians, lived underground and operated secretly and unnoticed by the overbearing Roman hierarchy. They proved to be greatly outnumbered and overpowered by the very ones who insisted they held all rights to God's church and His word.

It was for this reason that many early church fathers died outside the Roman Church, trying to their last breath to restore pure worship, but all in vain! From that time on the true Christians, still known as Essenes and Gnostics, were labeled hopeless heretics and ordered mercilessly murdered on sight.

The crusades that followed proved to be nothing more than a pretext for rounding up these so-called heretics to destroy them and their sacred writings, the true holy word of God.

The fight was bitter, for the true Christians would not return violence to anyone, but died martyrs for their pure faith, hoping in the resurrection. Nonetheless, the Roman Church did not entirely succeed in its evil campaign against these innocent children of God, for had it not been for the few who did manage to survive the bitter persecution and manhunts, wherein entire families were murdered, there would be no records at all, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hammadi Library, etc.

Such documents were wisely concealed in secret hiding places safe from the enemy-one can say, preserved by God for the right day to expose the liars and the frauds!

In making certain that none of the true writings of the Essenes were ever discovered, the world's largest and most famous library in Alexandria was burned to the ground by Roman Church authorities, thus forever, so they thought, sealing the lips and ideals of the Essene faith.

But like the Crusades that followed afterwards, persecution proved to be of no real hedge against pure worship. The Essene way of life had already become legendary among the nations, their fame spreading to every corner of the inhabited earth. Kings and queens and all royalty knew of and inquired of them for cures and healing of many ailments.

The Essenes were world-renowned for their natural remedies, for they healed where other physicians failed. Their knowledge of true science and astronomy, and the laws of nature as taught to them by holy angels was unexcelled.

Ruthlessly jealous of this fame, the Roman Church sought to destroy the Essenes' fine image and transplant a counterfeit system of religion in Christ's name.

Thus the world was led to believe and accept that there remained no spiritual knowledge or wisdom outside of the Roman hierarchy. The so-called Protestant Reformation that later followed was based on the same interpolated Bible versions the earlier corrupt church issued, void and robbed of any trace of the humane Jesus and his true personality as based on love and mercy for all of God's creatures.

Thus the Protestants gained nothing in the way of truth when they broke off from the Roman mother church, but only confused the issue even further in setting up hundreds upon hundreds of smaller sects, each claiming it is the true church and each claiming it has the absolute truth.

The truth is that there is only one Christ and one true church, not ten, or fifty, or 100 or even 1000, as is the case today, all claiming to be the true church of Christ.

Only the Holy law can put to the test the smallest to the largest churches claiming to be of true faith. We propose that the churches, one and all, examine themselves and their history and judge for themselves with open minds and hearts whether or not

their teachings are superior to the Holy Law as found in the Humane Gospel.

We can truthfully state no more: the decision must be made by each individual within each church. If truth is their real goal, then they have nothing to fear but truth itself. It is there ready and waiting for any courageous enough to clean up his act! As the old proverb states: "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink it."

Such is the case with religions of today. If wealth and fame is their goal, then truth is their furthermost thought! No man or nation can make someone do what they wish not to, nor can all the holy writings in the world make a man humane, if he chooses to remain mean and cruel. Thus we know the meaning of Jesus' words when he told his disciples to teach the meek of the earth, those longing and wanting the peace and joy of real truth.

For those who feel that what is printed here is out of context and perhaps somewhat exaggerated, let us review the Essene principles of life and see just why the early Roman Church wanted so desperately to erase the very existence and all traces of these holy elect of God. Consider these points and compare them to the so-called civilized world of today, where especially in Christian countries, such facts would appear radical to most, to say the least.

The Essene Christians of Jesus' day, who were later ordered to abandon their faith or face death by the Roman State, did accept and believed in the original laws of God as found in this humane gospel. They like Jesus, their Teacher of Righteousness, were humanitarians, in that they cared for and loved their fellow man and the creatures of God to the point of only doing good to them. They could not work evil, and still be considered God's children of light. They proved to be strict natural hygienists and lived and worked in complete harmony with nature and her laws.

They ate no animal flesh or fish, nor fowl; they did not hunt, trap or exploit the animal kingdom for any reason or profit. They did not drink sour or hard drinks of any kind including wine, they did not subscribe to drugs, nor would they drink the blood of animals or humans, as was the custom of many pagan nations.

They were non-violent pacifists, and would not enlist in military endeavors, nor would they manufacture weapons for themselves or take part in the making for someone else, nor did they carry weapons.

They shunned politics and trusted only in the Kingdom Order of God and the Angels. They despised worldly business practices and commerce; they did no buying or selling among themselves, but shared all things in the commonweal.

They were chaste, modest, moral individuals, who even wore undergarments when bathing, in order that none might be subject to indecent exposure at any time.

They married for one reason, to procreate, as they denounced unnatural sex relations as unhealthful and unbecoming to a holy one of God. They married in perfect health and love and took one mate only, for life, as divorce was unheard of.

They were honest, law-loving people that would not steal, cheat or lie for any reason or person. In fact, they preferred death to a compromise of their righteous principles.

They lived in communities apart from the world, and were true communists in the purest sense of the word, sharing all material possessions willfully and cheerfully with others of their communes. They also shared any excess goods freely with outsiders. They practiced charity and enjoyed and lived for only the joy of helping their sisters and brothers and any interested in finding the truth of God's holy way of life.

Thus they lived long, disease-free lives, in total contentment, often passing 120 years of age. They were known for taking in orphans and the aged and ill just as if they were their own fathers and mothers. They offered no animal or human sacrifices to God ever, as they understood the meaning of the Pure Oblation, thus upholding God's original laws as given to Adam in Eden. They cherished the creatures of God and showed them equal respect in all things, realizing they were in need of protection and shelter as well as food, being the innocent creatures they are.

They were skilled herbalists, and could prescribe a cure for any ill, as they were educated by the angels who taught them this knowledge. They had an accurate knowledge of true science and astronomy as the angels also taught them in their daily communions with God in prayer and meditation. They believed in the resurrection from the dead and eternal life on earth. They were of two clas-

ses, a celibate male and female class who dealt only with spiritual matters and the education of the people, and a single and married class that carried on the overall affairs of the community.

But all were considered equal before God in their humble and contrite spirits and all shared in the same spiritual love that Jesus spoke about when he said that his disciples would be known if they had love among themselves and for the creatures of God.

They also kept sacred the seventh day, which they knew to be the Sabbath memorial. Thus they held to the perfect solar calendar as based on the angel Uriel's revelation to Enoch. This perfect calendar was known and used only by the elect of God, and is based on the movements of the heavenly bodies, thus providing an error-free system of time counting. It was because of this holy calendar that the Essenes kept a different day as their Sabbath than the Pharisees and other nations who based their calendars on the calculations of man subject to deviation and gross blunder.

The Essenes were true husbandmen, working the earth's soil and living only off its produce, doing so with good conscience and without blood-guilt. They alone fulfilled the law of love for neighbor and God and the creatures and creations of the earth.

Thus we see why the Roman church could not tolerate their existence, for it was their perfect conduct that contrasted with the immoral, perverted ways and customs of the pagans that infuriated the church leaders.

Thus we see also why only a relatively few were given over to the Essene way of life, as most persons wanted and rejoiced in the degraded living standards of the Roman Empire. The life of debauchery and filth was to be the standard. Any who chose otherwise were considered fanatics or heretics. Even Constantine the Great realized he was wrong before he died, but by then the pure worship within his church had been defiled.

No other race or segment of the world's population has ever received more commendable acknowledgment than the Essenes. Philo, Michaelis, Josephus, Solinus and Pliny and others give us the most detailed information of this remarkable race. They were reported as so perfect in holiness before God and man, that some con-

sidered the idea that they were not of this earth! Their moral conduct was indeed the highest possible and above all other religious systems that ever existed! A million pages can be written about them and still would not do them justice, for each member of the sect contributed his or her special talent or virtue towards the perfection of the whole ideal.

The fact that they entertained angels and that angels communicated with them, assured their closeness to God and Oneness with the Universe. They indeed left their indelible mark on society for all time to come, for through them, God made known to mankind His great love and mercy and above all that there does exist in truth and spirit, a Deity that deserves all the reverence and adoration of mankind!

To compare an Essene believer well versed in the faith to the best orthodox educated Christian leader of the world today-and there exist many-would be like comparing Satan with God, or light with darkness.

It remains a sad fact that the population of earth has been deprived of the Essene doctrine so long by organized religions that care only for fame and riches.

But did not Jesus warn his disciples that wolves would appear in sheep's clothing, ready to devour the truth and introduce the lie? Thus we see that with the greatest of care every possible trace of this remarkable people was removed from within and outside the church of Rome.

In no way did these barbaric self-appointed religionists want the world to know of such wisdom and knowledge that leads to perfect physical and spiritual health!

But nonetheless, the truth is superior to all things and cannot be withheld from God's true disciples. Thus under various names, the Essenes-Christians managed to keep God's law alive in the heart of all those searching for uncompromised truths. When one thinks just how much human blood was sacrificed for the right to the Bible in its present form as edited by the later popes of Rome, then one must truly think harder and realize the futility of it all. For had such a struggle been undertaken for the original Gospel of Jesus, then the world would have been a much different place today!

But to say such ones died in vain at the hand of their wicked persecutors who indeed hated truth and God, would be sin, for indeed, had they not given the strong fight they did, we today would

be no better off than the wicked persecutors themselves. And most assuredly we would not have even the small truths the present translations do offer, not to mention the Humane Gospel you have just read.

We owe much gratitude to the Essene brothers and sisters that died for their faith, defending the true scriptures of God. For, oh, how much easier it would have been for them to compromise and tell the enemy where the scrolls were hidden!

The fact is sad that so many people had to die at all-reason enough for honest people everywhere to be able to decide for themselves what truth really is.

While most of the non-Essene Christians did die in vain, thinking they were fighting for the true word of God during the past eighteen centuries, such ones rest in God's judgment only, as only He knows the outcome and judges the souls of men. But to those courageous souls that did know the truth, those who gave up their lives in lieu of compromise, in order that we may know now the whole truths-such are truly the saints of God, who inherit the Kingdom and its blessings.

Let us imagine for a few seconds, if the situation were reversed, and the true accounting of God's word were not suppressed as it was, just what kind of world would we have today?

Yes, imagine a world where only the humane laws of Jesus were practiced and kept by all or at least by most . . . Would men of sound mind miss the troubles and tragedy of the past 2000 years?

Would we miss today the wars and threats of wars on a worldwide scale?

Would we miss the disease and illness that take so many lives? Would we miss the violence and crime, the murderers, the rapists, the trouble makers in general? Would we miss those that make false promises and lie and cheat and steal?

Would we miss the inhumanity aimed at every living thing on earth because of lust and greed for money? Would we miss the slaughter houses and vivisection labs that cause so much unnecessary terror and pain?

Would we miss the so-called industrial age that has brought only pollution of our waterways, land, food and air? Would we miss the "rat race," as the world has nicknamed the everyday hustle and hassle of living? And would we miss death itself?

Yes, had the world during 2000 years accepted Jesus as their

Messiah and law-giver and followed his commandments to the letter, the world of today would not be what it is.

Thank God, though, we are living in the end time where all of Jesus' prophecies will be fulfilled, and the meek shall inherit the earth and the wolf shall lie down with the lamb.

The Edenite Society would like to take this opportunity to make an appeal to the clergy of every Christian church and to every religion worldwide both Western and Eastern. The New Age is upon us and this appeal is urgent, and possibly life-saving.

We are living in the age of revealment of the second presence of Christ, whereby He judges the leaders of Christianity and holds them alone responsible for the education of the flock. We believe there are still many sincere and devoted leaders among the churches and sects of Christendom and of course the Eastern religious bodies that do indeed employ more Christian doctrine than professed Christendom herself as a whole.

Hence, if you are among the sincere and faithful that do appreciate truth and are not in fear of saving face, but defend pure worship, then respond to this appeal and restore God's Holy Laws within your church or congregation no matter how large or small.

The most important thing now in this critical age, is to reintroduce the Humane life style to every person who claims to be Christian and let this person prove such a claim by his righteous adherence to these moral laws of God.

For those of you who have the courage to pursue the right course and to teach the truth to your flock, then by all means, do not hesitate to do so, for the time is short.

Jesus told his disciples that one must prepare himself while alive, for the sure-to-come restored paradise earth, whereby such a one will receive a resurrection to life. He also said if one falls away in death before his repentance, there is not much hope of a favorable judgment. So now is the time to take action, for death may seal forever your only chance to eternal life.

We hereby appeal to every religious leader, regardless of faith or belief or former doctrine, to seriously contemplate the pending moral judgment at hand. That such a judgment is valid and cannot be ignored, is for certain a point of fact.

The Edenite Society extends a helping hand to any and all, men and women, every one who has the responsibility of shepherding the flock, to investigate the restoring of pure worship in this marked period of time in regards to God's unchanging laws.

We do not mean that every Christian in the world must come over to the Edenite Society in order to be judged favorably by God,

but we do mean that every man and woman who claims to be Christian must conform to the Essene way of life, if he or she is to be in pure worship.

Therefore we encourage one and all to adopt the Essenes' life style within your church or sect. Teach it as the only means of salvation and rightful conduct before God. We also encourage you to read and study the upcoming "Holy Law" as based upon Essene revelation. This timely publication, to be released soon, explains in great detail the seven-fold peace of life which is the only formula that leads to eternal life and health, both physical and spiritual.

The goal of the Edenite Society is to restore truth and validity in God's laws and to show that they have never changed-God always remains a God of love and mercy. We are willing to share this knowledge freely with one and all.

Please feel free to write us with questions or comments. The waters of truth and life are free and are to be shared equally with all interested in the true way to life. Reinstate pure worship within your congregation now, share in the joy and peace of the "good news" as it was really meant to be.

Rejoice in that God's patience means salvation for many in this 20th century and His mercy means extended knowledge and wisdom for all those who thirst for the truth that will surely set us free.

Since the Garden of Eden, God has always sent His holy messengers and prophets whenever His pure worship was profaned. Prophets were also sent to sound warnings of divine judgment against those who would alter or corrupt His holy laws.

Adam, the first earthly human to live by God's laws, became the first true patriarch or prophet of God in and outside of Eden. He was a prophet before he had sinned, and he remained a true prophet after he had realized it was sin or 'evil' to deviate from the holy law. Hence his heartfelt repentance gained him approval, as God's son Jesus thus promised him a second right to eternal life by means of an earthly resurrection.

Adam soon brought forth righteous offspring who delighted in the perfect law of God. Abel, Seth, Enoch, and Noah, to name only a few, all proved to be faithful patriarchs or prophets of God for a specific purpose, that of upholding God's unchanging holy laws.

The line continued without fail -- Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jacob's 12 sons proved, as did Adam, that deviation from the law means sin and death. They also matured to become faithful prophets and patriarchs carrying on in pure worship. Century after century, God exalts holy men who are ready and willing to promote truth and pure worship.

Moses was one of the greatest of these men, as he delivered Israel by the same unchanging law Holy angels gave to Adam. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Baruch, Ezra, Ezekiel, Daniel and hundreds of others between the time period of Moses and Christ, were all faithful to God's holy laws -- each defending pure worship as they re-newed or re-stored the law by right example and demonstration. Yes, each proved beyond the slightest doubt that there was and is only one pure system of worship approved of by God since time immorial. No! New religions were not invented or started every time God's pure worship people fell into error, but rather prophets were sent to set matters straight and to re-new or re-store the holy law.

Jesus, the very son of God, made this point very clear, stating that he did not come to destroy or replace his Father's laws, but came only to demonstrate their perfect power in all things. Jesus was himself the very essence of God's law, for he alone was the perfect interpreter of the law, he being the authority that gave Adam the law in Eden. Jesus said: "I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment, which ye had from the beginning."

Later, his 72 apostles followed in like manner, setting a perfect example for all men to follow. They, like their forerunners, proved to be true prophets of holy law. From Jesus' time until now in the 20th century, the same holds true; in every time period, God has had worthy men who were used as prophets or teachers of His unchanging perfect moral law code.

While religionists suffer in gross spiritual darkness due to their own reluctance and neglect, God's children of light bathe themselves in the purifying rays of eternal truth. They rejoice in the wisdom and understanding of supreme knowledge.

The word 'Essene' means merely 'holy one of God.' This title was used for millenniums to describe God's elect faithful remnant, of pure worshippers. Hence it could be said that even Adam, after his repentance, was an 'Essene' or holy one of God. Those faithful ones who followed Adam would be designated the same.

Such a holy remnant was ever preserved down through the centuries, as Biblical writings and recorded history testifies. God has always had a sincere pure worship people for His Holy name. Some 200 years before the coming of Christ, the, Essenes of Dead Sea Scroll fame, prepared for their messiah's first coming. All history acclaims these pre-Christian Essene Jews and non-Jews alike to be the most remarkable race of pure worshippers of God who ever lived on earth. They upheld purity and holiness to the letter; they were as advanced in Godly wisdom as was possible; they upheld God's laws to the letter and beyond. No other religion, sect or cult could make this boast or claim; all failed miserably in even coming near their mark of perfection.

The Pharisees and Sadducees were among those failures. These very ones claiming to be God's elect and chosen race proved to be only from their father the devil, the inventor of false religion and lies. Hence it was the Essenes who proved to be the very fountainhead of pristine Christianity, the very forerunners of it. They were the only ones ready and prepared to baptize themselves in the spirit of truth of their master and lord, Jesus. They interpreted and lived the holy law in its two-fold meaning in absolute perfection.

What does all this mean today? It means this: all man-made religions -- starting with Cain, the murderer of Abel millenniums ago -- and right up until our very day, are in direct violation of the one pure way of worship! They are, in fact, mere counterfeits and poor substitutes! The modern church as a whole has failed miserably all those who have trusted in her; she has ignored warnings from the prophets of old and new alike. She is divided against herself, mimics greedy commerce and corrupt politics, as she suppresses truth and reaches out for worldly fame and riches instead of the blessings of God. Her many sects and cults, divided among themselves, have only proven to cause further confusion and chaos. They have proven by their self-indulgences to be counterfeits of pure worship, workers of lawlessness. They have failed to do their job of interpreting God's laws as to their true virtues and meaning. They stand alone responsible for much of the world's woes, past and present.

They are spiritually dead and blind. The blind cannot lead the blind; darkness must be replaced with light. Isaiah prophesied about such as these who would call the truth a lie and the lie truth. Unable and unwilling to uphold God's perfect moral code themselves, they set out to compromise it by' condoning gross evil practices in order to mask their own shortcomings.

Thus it should come as no surprise or shock to learn of moral judgment against the religious leaders of this world darkness. It is for this reason that The Edenite Society has been formed, not to pass judgment, not to condemn, but to advocate the truth of God's unchanging laws and willingly and lovingly to extend help to any and all who desire to know the uncompromised truth. The Edenite Society is not a new

religion; it is not trying to take the place of the pure worship instituted in Eden, but merely serves as an extension of that same institution of pure worship. As an instrument of God and His holy angels, the Edenite Society interprets the holy law as it was and as it is today, one and the same, without compromise or face-saving.

The modern church, like Israel of old, has ignored the warning from God, His prophets, His testimonies. She tries to hush up the early church fathers and now does much to suppress the Dead Sea Scrolls as echoing revelations of 2200 years ago that are sure to cause a spiritual earthquake with the false doctrines of her teachings. Rather than giving the truth of God's laws, she gives only her own self-made doctrines that reflect ignorance and disrespect for the holiness of life itself.

The time has arrived for all falsehoods to be uncovered; truth will be vindicated to the glory of God and His angels and men of pure heart everywhere. For it is God's holy angels who deliver truth to those of a humane nature; it is these messengers of God who spearhead the re-gathering of lost sheep into the fold of Christ. There are no other means; there has never been any other; there never will be any other. Men and women everywhere can be assured of salvation at God's extended hand. Jesus knows his sheep and the sheep listen to his voice, as he alone is the one that makes the personal call. As Bible scholars of past days, as the Essenes were prepared for Christ's first presence, so too will countless thousands be prepared in this 20th century for his second return to total kingdom rule. While it is impossible to gain the cooperation of entire churches and the modern church as a whole, there are countless numbers who will respond to Christ's call. The fact that there has always been a faithful remnant of pure worshippers since Eden, proves a similar remnant will be ready and regathered as the modern Essene class of the faithful elect. The pure ungarbled law of God as given to Moses and passed on to Israel did indeed provide for a faithful remnant that accepted the humane teachings of the holy law; thus this remnant accepted Essene Christianity. So today will history repeat itself when people from every religion on earth embrace the one pure worship of truth that leads to spiritual and physical health reform at its best.

Hence, not the Edenite Society, nor God's holy angels, or Christ himself, bring about the close of the modern church with her man-made teachings, but the modern church herself through her own schemes and evil acts. God has abandoned her; she cannot exist on falsehood but will fade like mown grass under a hot summer sun. Her judgment is thus self-made and deserving; her sin of deviating from the holy law will be made manifest and her power will be put to shame for all to see and realize. The prophet cries out aloud, "Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins."

There remains nothing today nor in the past that is superior to the truth. God's law is perfect and complete; it alone puts all men and writings to the test; it alone exposes falsehoods and lies; it works like mathematics, with no deviation or variance as to truthful answers and solutions. Jesus lived by these natural laws of God; he proved the unwritten laws of eternity are the never-changing laws of today, yesterday and tomorrow. He taught simple truths -whatever contradicts the holy law is not from God, but from the devil, the enemy of truth and holy law. The masses today have been led to believe and accept that the Bible of today is complete and lacks nothing, and all in it is absolute truth. This is the greatest deception yet that Satan has worked on the minds of unsuspecting men.

We have today only remnants of what the complete Bible should be and was 2000 years ago. The prophets, the early church fathers and the Dead Sea Scrolls, all testify to this fact. Our present Bible translations are garbled and interpolated beyond belief, and this is a known fact to every Bible scholar in the world! What, then, is total or perfect truth? Pontius Dilate asked Jesus these very same words before Jesus was executed. Jesus' answer was: "Truth is from above, Heaven." In other words, Jesus was saying "truth is from God only, and not men," as he later told Pilate in further detail. Even this simple example of deliberate deletion on the part of Bible editors is hard to believe, but true, for you cannot find Jesus' simple answer to Pilate in any of our present Bible translations. The reasons are obvious. Only the holy laws test every scripture in the Bible as to truth or lie. Only the law code can prove man a liar and God true. Do we need anything else?

The Edenite Society has set out to vindicate Christ as the supreme law of truth and to restore His word the Bible as the book of truth. This can be done only by exposing falsehoods and their inventors; there is no other way. God looks upon ignorance of His holy law as the greatest and deadliest sin on earth, for it alone leads to every sin, all sins big and small. In the beginning when Jesus gave the law to Adam in Eden, he gave it for a specific reason and that was: if Adam was to know what evil was, he would first have to know what good is. So Jesus, through the law, taught Adam all that was good and holy before God; anything below these teachings would be evil, or lead to sin. Hence the deviation from the perfect law caused Adam's wrong-doing or sin. God's laws are easy and simple to understand. There re-mains no mystery concerning them, no secrets. No special training or education is necessary. A child of five or six years of age could readily learn to live by them. There remains no excuse, then, for the woes of the world. Outright deviation from the law of God leads man only to evil doings, disease and death. In a homily on the book of Matthew from St. Chrysostom, Jesus made this remark: "Ye must be humane to be my followers." There are thousands of such homilies on the 'good humane life' as prescribed by Jesus. No doubt many of these belong in our present Bible canons, but were deleted to please pagans invited into the early church to swell the membership rolls. This fact is history.

In the Vatican alone there remain today 25 miles of bookcases stacked with untranslated, priceless scrolls on the works and teachings of Christ and his apostles. Most of these scrolls are over 1500 years old. Has it taken this much time to translate them and give them to the public? Hardly, for the church has no intention of translating them or informing the general public of their contents. The very same can be said of the recent Dead Sea Scrolls finds. If all the information were released now, organized Christendom, as well as the Jewish faiths, would be highly embarrassed and ashamed, and our present Bible translations would have to be scrapped as waste paper. These scrolls, as well as the unpublished manuscripts in the Vatican, can and would transform this world into a much safer and better place to live. The vital truths being deliberately held back and suppressed would indeed restore a greater part of the lost morals and values of life. Entire Bible books have been deleted in favor of early church power and authority.

Wisdom and knowledge of the ages on spiritual and physical health reform that would truly help this troubled world and solve many of its immediate problems remain out of reach. All men are created equal in their quest for knowledge and their right to it. God does not play favorites with men or churches, no matter how great or small they may be. The purpose of the Edenite Society is, then, to bring this highly sup-pressed information to the fore so that every man may choose for him-self as the free moral agent he was created to be -- choose good from evil, right from wrong.

For this reason we are happy to announce that very soon, we will publish the re-construction of the holy law code as given to Adam, Enoch, Moses, as taught by Jesus, known by the Essenes as given by holy angels. (To be released in 1978.)

It is this re-newing or re-storing of God's laws that can and will make your life happier and more meaningful, for the very purpose of the law code was to bring only lasting peace and joy to all those that follow its wise, Godly instructions. The perfect 14 fruits of the holy spirit when applied can transform your mind to a better life through Christ. We urge you to read it and study it. No man, church or organization has the right to control your mind or thinking. Allow the holy law to put all religions to the supreme test of truth and purity; allow pure worship to open your eyes and mind to ageless wisdom that leads to eternal life and happiness. The perfect earmark of the pristine Christians was "Gnosis." This was "true wisdom revealed by God," Godly knowledge with human understanding. This knowledge amounts to knowing and doing God's laws, understanding what they mean and why we keep them as sacred and holy. Paul said that faith without righteous works is dead; he was correct. Even more so was he speaking truth when he said "works without love are dead." We must then understand what right works are before we set out to waste half of our lives doing the wrong things. Only the law code determines the right course for man; allow it to teach you the wisdom of God. God's holy angels stand ready to instruct any that are sincere and honest in seeking out uncompromised truth.

We therefore encourage you to read and study our publications that deal with God's laws and truth. We invite you to become part of our active work in vindicating God and His word. We are a non-profit, self-supporting Essene-Christian organization. We have no salaried officers or help. All share in spirit and truth, and not for financial gain or fame.

If the humble and meek way of life that Jesus taught his followers appeals to you, and you want to learn how the pristine Christians lived and worked in harmony, peace and love, then become friends with pure worship and God's laws. Learn what Jesus really meant, when he said: "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Learn good from evil, right from wrong. Prepare yourself for the very near fulfillment of God's promise to restore this earth into a paradise condition, where He will grant eternal life to all those who love and obey His holy law.
