Chapter 251:

It Is the Hour of Mighty Men

<< Previous | Home | Next >>

1. I SPEAK in sober note: I say, Be not afraid, for even as they stoned the prophets who were before you, so do those who are of evil seek to stone my workers of the present.

2. I say again, Be not afraid, for ye do have me with you; I watch from afar and yet am at your shoulder; I say unto those who would work you an evil: Be at peace, desist, be of sense in your discernings, for lo, a mighty wind ariseth in which ye are consumed;

3. Be of sense in your preachments, for behold that which is uttered of blasphemy cometh back to him who uttereth it and rebuketh him sadly, with a madness in his wits.

4. Behold of an olden time it was predicted that many should fall at your right hands, and the stalking pestilence should not come nigh unto you; many should be slain and one stumbling would be lifted.

5. Are such promisings made for ears that are vain? or are they for eternity that those who know wisdom should abide in their knowledge?

6. I beseech you, beloved, that ye be wise in your discernments, uttering no blasphemies, rebuking not the Doctrine, committing no false acts that have rancor in them, prostituting not your talents to vain longings, making no evil gestures that hatred reap a harvest.

7. Pursue a clean track, plow a straight furrow, abide ye in me, know the hope of the world;

8. For it cometh unto me that many are stumbling and a few would be lifted; many are falling and a few would know patience.

9. Legion are they who do mock at the Doctrine, saying, Behold it saveth us not, it rebuketh us with license, it giveth us no surcease from this evil that is on us, it giveth us a stink in that it proclaimeth true righteousness yet behold such cometh not.

10. These things are an abomination unto me; behold I eschew them; I give them no license to abide in my being; behold I say unto them, Thus do the workers of iniquity exclaim, in that their practices of evil have found them in their lodgings;

11. But for the true worker in the vineyard a great peace groweth hourly, a great compassion is smitten on those who proclaim a triumph, who walk with a conscience, who lift not their eyes saying, Where are the angels that were promised to aid us?

12. It is meet that ye do know these things, beloved; it is the hour of evil men; it is the hour of darkness foretold in old scriptures; it is the time of sorrowing and of evil lamentation. Would ye have it otherwise than that which is Written?

13. The great have been stoned: the evil beast hath lain down with the Iamb; those with an evil on their countenance have raised a great cry, We are the forsaken!

14. Is it not meet that they should be forsaken? whence cometh to them succor? hath evil a succor for those who are evil?

15. I tell you that only the righteous man hath a succor, and those who smite evil have a flame for their torches. . . .

16. It is the hour of Mighty Men! . . . behold that I have said it. They are called up by the doctrine, they labor in patience but their work is not lost; they speak as a vomit to those who are sodden, but to those who are pure their words are sweet music.

17. Behold I have said it. I have watched you long, I have been as your counselor, I have been at your elbow, I have stood with the throng in the busy street and marked you turn the corner, I have come and I have gone.

18. Behold I have seen you at your labors, purifying the multitude when evil men would wreck you. Behold I have said, Let it not come to pass, for in that there remaineth one righteous man to hear and profit from the Doctrine, so shall ten thousand be saved for its preachments.

19. Hear my words and know wisdom. Know my love and hear preachings. See my compassion working on the multitude and say unto yourselves:

20. It worketh! It worketh! Behold they are made clean of that which hath defiled them! so be it ever! behold He who was sent hath made known unto us His mission!

21. Lest it come unto you that evil men do spring upon you in the dark highway, I say unto you, Go ye not into the darkened way, neither know its coursings, pursue a straight street that is flooded with sunlight; dwell ye ever upon it;

22. Lean upon a strong staff, pursue the strong clamor and follow where it leadeth you. Give joyously unto Mammon where Mammon hath a profit for the taking; be not of concernment if those of evil leanings make a gesture at your bowels;

23. For what have they of moment but evil gesturings? behold they are but sodden in the mire which they have wetted; behold they are trapped in the mud which they have shoveled.

24. The righteous man maketh a great peace, beloved; yea he maketh it joyously; he giveth unto Mammon that which is Mammon's increase; he taketh from spirit that which hath ennoblement; he giveth and he taketh and all know a profit.

25. Not so the evil man who lurketh by the wayside; behold his sins do find him out; he committeth a sin and performeth a blunder; he steppeth in a stink and slideth in a morass;

26. Whereupon he saith: These things did the fathers, and thus am I pardoned; these commitments did the brethren, and thus am I blameless for that which I have suffered.

27. Be not alarmed, beloved. Pray a pure prayer, draw a bright blade, give ye your alms unto the Higher Charity which saith:

28. These are the commitments of man immortaled, therefore should he suffer them that his spirit may be humbled.
