Chapter 237:

The Broadsword of Spirit

<< Previous | Home | Next >>

1. BEHOLD it cometh to me that there are those in high places making mock of the faithful; they laugh with great laughter; verily they give alms unto those who are forsaken; but mercy is not in it, they do buy a vast whoredom.

2. They come and go vicariously in their deployments of compassions; they say, It is meet that we get others to do for us that which is of evil, that when accounting cometh, we shall not be held for that which was of mischief.

3. They are mighty, I tell you; they are cunning in eschewments; they give and take a ransom; the pure in heart tremble at their endlessness of cleverness; they hear no cries for mercies; they are guiltless unto themselves of their crimes and misdemeanors.

4. They befoul a whole state and count it a blessing; they seize a great people and are proud in their exploitings.

5. But hear me, beloved, . . . it goeth not well with them. They are championed of the Beastly One. Their midnights hold torments. They have no place to lay their heads that spectres do not visit them;

6. Verily are they of the earth's forsaken, yet the world seemeth kind to them and they know not their fortunes, that presently they rend them.

7. It cometh unto me that ye do treat with these, beloved, . . ye go to and fro among them, ye perceive their comings and their goings, . . . .and yet I perceive that ye do harbor a grievance amongst yourselves that the course of the world should lie in black pastures.

8. My beloved, be counseled! . . . be wise with a wisdom that maketh saints to envy.

9. Ye do come and go vicariously. Ye do say unto yourselves, So let it be for ourselves and our children, thus was it written from the Beginning, . . . is it meet that we change it?

10. I say unto you, my brethren, changed all of it must be, else the world hath a pestilence which continueth forever; altered it must be, else there cometh no surcease from that which happeneth out of the conduct of those who do ironies.

11. I have told you as a counselor that a Great Day cometh presently, I have seen its bright footstep, I have uttered my warnings that its vestments hold tumults; I have stood in a place of exceeding great height and looked upon the nations and the ways of their plannings.

12. Harken, harken! . . . there is more! . . . I have come unto man. . . . I have told him that his days in that pestilence have ending. . . . he too goeth up into an exceeding high place and knoweth the evil whereof he was afflicted;

13. Verily he cometh down and remembereth of that evil; he escheweth it forever, he taketh a clean distaff and a pure coat; he looketh to his arms and perceiveth they have whiteness.

14. Behold in that day he saith unto himself: Thus was it Written from the beginning of all worldliness, that my distaff should be cleanly, that the cloth of my coat should be seen without blemish;

15. Why then do I suffer these mischiefs to rend me? hath the Father decreed them, when He biddeth me to flee them?

16. I am mine own augury; I am mine own balsam; behold I will attest unto my foul habitation, in that Mammon hath befouled it; I dwell no more in it; I take stock of my godhood.

17. Are not these things excellent? Is it not man's lawfulness that he make himself of cleanness?

18. Is it not better that he should do it of his own eagerness, than that one should come doing it and leave him to his slothfulness?

19. It hath come unto me that there are those among you who hasten to and fro seeking surcease from your labors, hunting for that mountain, panting for that pinnacle.

20. Behold they work with diligence that the noontime of their hopes should see goodly fruits garnered, that their barns should be fat with the luxury of increase, yea of the body, yea even of the Spirit.

21. Let it be known to such as these, that that which cometh, cometh! . . .

22. Of old it was known that the Beast had its talons; of old was it known that he who cometh up out of the sea and taketh the sword should depart from the waters and know no more cleansing.

23. Is the battle an ordainment? hath it too its cleanliness? why should those bathe who have done with the washing?

24. I tell you that those who lay hand on the broadsword of spirit grasp that blade strongly and fall to a cleaving,

25. But those who do cleave with the blade of pollution shall cut with the sword and their own hand be severed.
