Chapter 215:
The Enemy Felleth Himself
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. BELOVED, I speak with solemn voice unto you, for I perceive
that ye are perplexed by a wakefulness for service.
2. Hold ye and hear; I speak a true message: There are none
come between us:
3. I say unto you that in the day wherein ye go forth to
conquer in my name, there goeth with you a mighty host that is
not of your making.
4. Verily is it so, that they who are righteous shall have their
cohorts summoned for their victories; they who have emptiness
of heart, verily shall they fall, in that none cometh unto them to
clothe them in a grandeur.
5. It is well to be prepared; it is well to know the conquering;
it is well for the valiant man to know the weapons of his
character.
6. He asketh himself, What have I done that I should not have
attempted? or, What remaineth to be done whose finish hath
its shortage?
7. It is better to say: These things are known of us, that we
have kept the faith, that we have performed no ungodly act that
the brethren know a marveling, that when we were summoned
we responded by our roles, that we have dealt not in
wickedness and raised no hand against us.
8. In that we have done these things we ask no man's mercy
or pardon from circumstance; we continue our roles in
witnessing events, behold we know contentment to do that
which hath a goodly merit when those things make a
summoning that comprise a noble brevet.
9. Beloved, hear me further. Wouldst ye arise and give
leadership to multitudes? I say that I preserve you from little
deeds that ye may concentrate on great.
10. I come unto you in stillness and declare: Rise up, beloved,
the time draweth nigh for your labors unto excellence!
11. Remember that I have said it: behold I go before you,
preparing the way, behold I go out and scout the conflict
for you, that wherein ye shall serve ye do an honor to
yourselves and those who wait for you to reward your
performance.
12. Lest it perplex you that this is so, I tell you that we do
exceed our authority if so be it we come unto the enemy before
he is ready for his falling.
13. Mark ye my words and be wise in event! There is a time
and a season, there is an hour and a moment. All things are
decreed. All events have their places.
14. Is not the world a program? Hath life not its excellence?
How cometh its excellence if it proceed with a confusion? Hath
confusion and jubilee and yet order come out of it?
15. I say, all things are marked. What else is circumstance?
16. The little man beholdeth the confusion; he seeth the tumult
and crieth to himself, I have nowhere to turn; the earth is a
wickedness.
17. Verily I tell you, circumstance itself is event upon event;
cause maketh the effect; the cause hath its birthing-stool in the
chamber of the requisite.
18. Life proceedeth to a roster. That which is forecast is
advanced for its purpose. There is project in the zephyrs, the
storm hath its commissions.
19. All things are orderly, verily confusions.
20. Behold we gain nothing and lose nothing if we best the
enemy in event and lack wheels for our chariots to pursue
him to his emptiness.
21. I tell you the Plan goeth not by that pathway. It cometh
to pass that a mighty host shall arise within this nation.
Many men in divers places shall cry out loudly: Where is he who
wouldst lead us, in that he prophesied correctly the coming of
this vermin? . . .
22. In that hour, beloved, arise and lead indeed! but lead ye
with wisdom, have minions at your back, lead in that ye have
proclaimed yourselves as having goodly knowledge whereof to
take such leadership.
23. Verily the fool hath said within his heart, I have richness
of valor; I go and I strike, that my blows may give
resonance.
24. I say they give it not. They are crashings of his follies.
He maketh a loud tumult and it pleaseth his boorishness. He
bestirreth an odor and proclaimeth it a conquering.
25. Be ye wiser, my beloved. Know the fond weapon. Know
the hour wherein it flasheth. See the program of wisdom, that
the moment that giveth victory cometh with its sureness
wherever battle rageth.
26. What say ye of the adversary? Hath he not his terrors
also? Think ye to strike when the heart is mad in him?
27. I say, watch his cohorts. Their weakness deceiveth them.
Do they shout with a lustiness? Do men shout when they
are strong? I tell you much shouting deceiveth but the shouter;
the strong man is silent; his biceps proclaim him.
28. There are times for a shouting; there are seasons for a
singing; he who shouteth when the battle is beginning denieth
himself a singing when the conflict is his victory.
29. But he who singeth as the cohorts march against him
shouteth in excellence when presently they flee him.
30. It hath come unto me that there are presences among you
who say: It is proper and fitting to do thus and so, that the
enemy profit not further of this people, that we checkmate the
adversary by blocking of his deceits.
31. Hear me stoutly, my beloved: There is none who cometh
before the enemy felling him; he felleth himself; he doth that
which is deadly unto himself, he maketh a stink of his own
vomit, he eateth thereof and behold he is sickened!
32. I speak with my tongue, advising you mightily, for I have
goodly work for you and ye perform it in my name.
33. Ye are called to lead, beloved, but let this be your
leadership:
34. Say unto the brethren, Behold we have a plan that hath a
goodly promise of success; we receive it from sources that are
higher than ourselves; we come and go in goodly works offering
our brethren a stately concordance, yea even in the manners of
a people seeking excellence.
35. Be advised of me, beloved; I have told you no errors,
the past hath not harmed you, I have spoken unto you of
goings to and fro that held the essence of a noble statecraft
in them.
36. Behold have I not seen many men in many places giving
you instruction and have I not said, This one cometh, so
therefore why goeth the beloved to him elsewhere?
37. Best not your own wits with false reasonings, my
beloved; give circumstance no hostage that retaineth you to
languor.
38. Make no errors in your preachings that ye are called to
manufacture circumstance which cometh of men's gropings.
39. I say unto you that in the fair day cometh the fair warning;
in the fair tumult ariseth the fair opportunity for leadership, verily
of that host that bringeth earth new craftsmanship.
40. That is the day of leadership, beloved; behold it is its hour;
behold it is its moment; yet I say unto you, neither the day, nor
the hour, nor the moment hath yet entered.
41. I speak as a general watching his campaign; I speak as a
captain watching his battle, seeing the pitch of it, perceiving the
thinness in the lines that stretch before him.
42. I tell you it goeth well in this conflict.
43. Lest it be said of you that ye were found wanting, thus do
I adjure you: Manifest no ungodly act that strife may be
released wherein to strike the enemy, for he hath a grievance
within his own ranks of which we take advantage when the
moment is auspicious! Mark ye this well.
44. Whenever was it told you that the enemy's way was
easy? Be absolved from such treacheries unto your own
valiance.
45. He proceedeth not smoothly, his plans have rough
maturity, slothfulness assaileth him, fear taketh its ramparts
within his own spirit.
46. I say unto you, be guarded; see ye with a wisdom; let your
intercourse be solemn.
47. Be slow to anger concerning the enemy; give of your
utmost to education and enlightenment. For that were ye
called, and that shall perform for you what minions cannot,
though they fly to your track in a miracle's twinkling.
48. Take heed to yourselves and perform no impatiences;
I command you to caution in these strategies of circumstance,
for the world knoweth pausing in these hours of fraught
utterings.
49. Hear ye my counsel and be peaceful in your eagerness.
50. I have not called you a mighty league to leave you in a little
tent when events of valor upraise a roar of conquest, or history
hath its miracles to be written on a pebble.
51. I give you the armor that shineth as a beacon, that the
hosts of excellence know you and whereat the battle rageth.
52. I gird weapons on you that strike down dark ramparts;
I bring up your chariot when movement meaneth victory.
53. Hear ye my speech? act ye upon it and all shall be well
with you! the evening shall find you in a seat above monarchs!
ye shall sit in your tent and kings wait to kiss you.
