Chapter 219:

Ye Shall See Me in a Twinkling

<< Previous | Home | Next >>

1. THUS I speak the loud word Peace! . . . Peace in your authorities, Peace in your destinies, Peace in your displeasures against the unfortunate! . . .

2. The times for action are coming upon you; there is sound of revelry, there are voices of perjury, there are oaths that are false, there is the lore of the wicked to beguile you.

3. I am come to speak with you that the times of mourning may be shortened, that man may discover his redemption through faith in that which is manifest eternally.

4. There is a time for all things, as I have uttered unto you. There is a time for winning, there is a time for counseling, there is a time for auguring, there is a time for ministering; 5. There is a time for simplicity of heart, there is a time for righteous purpose righteously executed, that human ingenuity maketh a better report unto the Father of that which is priceless in eternity's balances.

6. I say there is a time for feasting and a time for fasting. All things have their places in Time.

7. But this also do I tell you: There is a time for watching, there is a time for sowing whilst ye watch.

8. And there is a time for praying whilst ye watch and whilst ye sow that the Father may manifest through you His everlasting and righteous purposes.

9. It is not meet that ye shouldst run unto the nations with the cry, Behold our own greatness, in that we find favor with those who are omnipotent!

10. Rather is it a time for penury of spirit, in that the Lord hath called every man's hand to the plowing of the furrow that turneth up righteousness, that some do plow righteously, that some do plow with vigor, that some plow not at all, being sluggards by nature and eschewing all toil.

11. I tell you it profiteth you to say, standing boldly: It is a time for the Greater Accounting with our souls, which shall be chosen to do the serving, which shall be those who are served with the viands.

12. Thus speak I in your hearts.

13. Nine times and nine times hath the prophecy moved; ninety and nine is the number of times that mercy hath anointed us; ninety thousand and nine are the times when those who are called are enjoined to their errands.

14. See that ye do them.

15. See that ye do stand with the Anointed Ones in the day of Great Judgment; see that ye do make a mighty manifesting unto those who have ordered you to be of good report.

16. For it behooveth you, beloved, not to question Omnipotence. A foul thing it is to say, I was called and have conquered that which was given unto mine hand to conquer.

17. It is better to say, I have dreamed of great riches under a bush, I have upturned the bush and discovered there treasure, I have taken the treasure and made a great banquet, the poor have I invited to partake of its richness and in that I have fed them I have found a great blessing.

18. That, beloved, is your richness; that, beloved, is your finding; that, beloved, is your inheritance of mercies rendered unto the fiats of circumstance.

19. I have made a bold book. I have written therein the names of the righteous. I have squandered not mine ink, I have written with a silver pen, and lo, the writings of my brain are recorded.

20. I fain would have done these things with a vaster conscience, but is it mine oath that carrieth me to record the recordings, or is it my temperament that I should perceive the deeper destiny of manifest strivings after the gospels of realities?

21. I say unto you, beloved, as I have oft told you, a deeper day liveth than ever ye have breathed in, a deeper night arriveth than any ye have slept in, a deeper hour declaimeth that maketh man to know a righteous deed and keep his peace with greater grandeurs.

22. This, my beloved, is mine adjuration: Ye shall see me in a twinkling! . . . . the heavens shall open and ye shall discern me as I am;

23. Ye shall see a Great Sight; ye shall keep a Great Vigilance.

24. There shall come an hour of great rejoicing unto you, there shall come an hour of mirth that holdeth in its destiny no worldly laughter, there shall arise a paean of praise that out of the thoughts of the thoughtless hath been built a great majesty.

25. For mankind is omnipotent unto himself---though he knoweth it not. He is an angel unto himself, unto himself ministering. He is a saint unto himself and to himself sainted; he is an alder bush and a fair tree, he is a thorn, he is a wild rose, he is an acorn in which the oak lieth, he is a princeling over danger, he is an augurer of promises, a darter after triumphs that flee ever before him.

26. I say that he is all of these and more; hear ye my poesy:

27. Man is a saga and a rune of righteousness building up ever within himself the golden rites of unspeakable expressions;

28. He is the hind that darteth ever before the arrow, yet he draweth the bow as the archer within himself.

29. I tell you to be of good cheer until I come again. Be of good report till I make manifest unto you the oath of my calling, that I bear witness unto you of the words of my mouth.

30. The day is not without its evening, and the righteous deed undertaken is not without its recompense---even that recompense that bespeaketh the perfect work accomplished in grandeur of assiduous performance.

31. I have come unto the world when the world received me not; I have spoken unto earth when the earth knew not my voice; I have encamped on the deserts and outskirts of earth when even the righteous were prone to demand, Who maketh the fire in the vale over yonder and leaveth the sparks to ignite treasured landscape?

32. These things have I done. Now do I come again, verily to speak as one who hath now his recognition, to address those ears that await a speech of beauty.

33. I cry the loud word Peace! but I say this thing also: Except ye receive my Peace, O world, ye do have a sorry nest in which to raise your fledglings.

34. I say there are times, and behold! . . . times again, when the watchers after me shall be rewarded by my glory. There are times, and times again, when those who do wait shall in nowise linger vainly.

35. Oft hath it happened that man hath judged wrongly the time of my coming; oft hath man erred in making a meeting with revealings of vast prophecy.

36. And is that of a consequence?

37. Is it not meet that man should so err, that coming unto true cognizance, he should defeat his former disappointments, saying, All is of past error and now correctness cometh?

38. I tell you, my beloved, these things have their seasons; there is a moment for the augury that surpasseth all the promises.

39. Wait for its occurrence but be diligent in waiting, accept no man’s preference for your matings with your destinies.

40. Where is the oak that hath not its acorn? where is the acorn that containeth not its oak?

41. All things, I tell you, transpire in time, all promises mature, all expectations realize; there is no defeat for the watchers in eternity!

42. The day dawneth when those who watch faithfully shall see a bright cloud no bigger than a hand; mark well the parable! . . . the day dawneth when man shall see a witness unto his waitings in the triumph of his sensings.

43. He shall utter a cry of joy, he shall send up a shout of thanksgiving; he shall say, It was true before, doubly is it true in the moments of this present; there is One who was not a myth, though all else denied Him; there is One who maketh us receivers of His miraculous appearings; He giveth us our visionings; He saith unto us:

44. I am He of truth for whom ye have waited. Behold me as I am! For such is mine authority to deal with your misgivings.

45. Beloved, hear me: Do ye no ungodly thing that godliness may prosper; do ye all merciful things that righteousness may prosper. Put from yourselves those errors that are childish, take unto yourselves the armors of true wisdom; create for yourselves a loveliness of precept, and starve not your spirits with strivings after lecheries.

46. Give of yourselves to your utmost farthings that the world may rise up in years to mature and call your names blessed in that ye didst sing a song of redemption for the unfortunate who had not your voicings, or your longings, or your seeings.

47. Thus say I unto you, because of my love for you, asking that no untoward increment enter your lives to delete them of mercies unto those who walk in darkness.

48. It is my pleasure to so address you, to give you mine utterings, to share with you Great Speakings. Do ye say unto me, Master, of this discourse hast Thou oft repeated? . . . . . I say, Harken unto my deep alarmings after cognizances of defaultings in that to which your hands had sealings.

49. I bid that ye arise and execute your missions. I bid that ye dig wells in gardens of beauties. I bid that ye sing songs that throb with mine ecstasies. I bid that ye fly to heights that flood you with radiance.

50. Is it not your wanderlusts after knowledge that provoke you to anger with those who do stumble in the mires of poignant errors?

51. Change them and charge them. Raise them and anoint them. Give yourselves no surcease that the strivings of your witcheries be ever of ennoblement among them and for them.

52. Thus speak I for this time and depart you, saying, watch!

53. Ye know not the hour in which the Scene breaketh.

54. It is well that ye know not.

55. But that is your enticement! . . .
