1
AND now, behold, I would attempt to describe unto you the temple of the Holy City, for it is for the use and glorification of the twelve tribes of Israel, wherefore there are twelve temples joined together as a honey comb around the center thereof. And the center hath the power of the Father therein, and from it issues forth the blessings to each of the tribes for all who will come up to keep the feast of the tabernacles.
2
And the center is the throne of God and is for the use of all who come up into the fullness of the Father, for they do inherit all the power, glory, dominion, light, majesty and exaltation which belongeth to the Fathers; and Ephraim, being the first born unto God, hath that blessing and is a part of that select assembly.
3
And then cometh the rest of the tribes of Israel, each in its place, so that all is perfectly prepared for the blessing of the nations when the thousand years of peace is ushered in.
4
And behold, all who cometh unto God hath a place in that temple, for it is established by the covenant of redemption which is in Christ Jesus, and behold, their place hath been determined by right of birth, and by the covenant whereby none will be lost except by their own choice; for thus did the family of God go forth upon the earth in the beginning and thus will they be gathered back into God again in the end, for He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
5
And the house of Israel hath not a place in the throne of power unless they have come up to the fathers in the flesh and are the Church of the Firstborn and have become the Self Existent One, even the source of that power.
6
They are they into whose hands the Father hath given all things, for they are they who are priests and kings who have received of His fullness and of His glory; for they overcome all things and all power is given them in heaven and on the earth, for they are Christ's and Christ is God's even as I have shown you.
7
Wherefore they have the blessing of the Firstborn even as Christ obtained that blessing by covenant and sacrifice, for they have bought it with a price and they are worthy of a far greater and eternal light of glory; and the power is in them to bless and draw into God all who will come.
8
And behold, they of the Firstborn do go forth to minister and bless each to his own tribe to bring all the House of Israel back into the kingdom of Heaven; and they are a blessing to all the house of Israel, for they do push the people together from the ends of the earth. And thus will the temple of God be fitly framed from the first to the last, even as it was established before the foundations of the earth were laid.
9
And the building which is the temple in the New Jerusalem is like unto the family of God for there is a place for all who will come and be sealed in by ordinance and by covenant.
10
And thus is the kingdom of heaven, the New Jerusalem taking form and shape after the order of the Temple of God and it is the bride, the lamb's wife which cometh down out of heaven to take possession of the earth, even as John saw; for behold the kingdom of heaven is the household of God, and the household of God is a place of perfect order and harmony, having many rooms and place for all.
11
And the works of God are to order this kingdom and household and to bring it back into the harmony it once had before it fell and fled away from the presence of God, and before great Babylon grew up in the midst of the house of God.
12
And behold, this hath been the works of all the prophets and patriarchs since the beginning, for they all have beheld the very things which the brother of Jared saw unto the bringing together again of that house; for the consummation of the Father's works is the sealing into that Holy Order each one in its proper place in the family of God.
13
And behold, all must be gathered and connected into the one great whole for the Father weepeth over any that are lost, even as He hath wept from the beginning over those who chose to leave that peace and harmony which was the Holy Order.
14
For the Holy Order of God is the temple of God and the Fathers are the pillars holding up the center thereof; and thus did John measure the temple and the pillars thereof but he measured not the court without the temple for it belongeth unto the Gentiles and they have no place in the temple until the house of Israel hath all been fitly framed.
15
But behold, the way is provided that all may come and partake of the salvation of God, for He would that all would come and partake of the waters of life freely. And the way is provided that all may come who will abide the law; for behold even those of the fallen race may come if they will abide the law of Christ, for He stands at the door and knocks and none are forbidden.
16
For behold, we have not a place in the family of God by right of birth, but the way is provided by ordinance and adoption, for He doeth that which is good unto the children of men, and He denieth none that come unto Him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; for His redemption is unto all, and the law for each hath been laid down from before the foundation of the earth.
17
And woe unto those who come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles for they are they who are without the gates of the Holy City. They are not mine saith the Lord, for they belong to the God whom they have chosen, saith the Lord, and He hath sealed them His and the testimony is bound and the law sealed against them.
18
Take heed unto yourselves, saith the Lord, for I will sift you like chaff before the wind and those of you who will not separate yourselves from your pleasant things, whether they be friends, or wives or husbands, or houses, or horses, or chariots, or vineyards, or groves, or cattle, or wines, or ointments, or all the workmanship of your hands, behold they are separated from you already; for all shall be shaken and destroyed save the tabernacle of my house which I am building, saith the Lord.
19
And woe unto those who have been cut off, root and branch, for the root is Jesus Christ, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and the Tribe of Joseph upon whom is the lineage of the priesthood, and those who are with Him have claim on that same lineage, for behold though they may come through many tribes as seen by John on Mt. Zion, and they are of the lineage of the birthright; for so it is in the covenant of the Fathers, and all must be connected into the root and become a righteous branch of the house of God.
20
And if they are cut off from the root and also have no branches, they have no part in the house of God, for all must be fitly framed into the one great whole, which whole is the Temple of God. And if you are not a part of the temple, then are you without the temple, and also without the Holy City, wherein John did see the liars and abusers, and the false prophets and those who attempted to enter in and climb up some other way.
21
Behold, saith the Lord, did I not say unto you with my own mouth that I am that prophet like unto Moses, and it shall come to pass that every soul who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people? And what people will ye be cut off from if it be not my people who are the house of Israel. And how will ye be among my people if ye gather not out of the nations and come not up unto my Holy Mountain to keep the feast of tabernacles? For behold, ye must be sealed into my family and into my temple or be cut off from among my people, saith the Lord.
