---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The subject matter of Christ is a complexly simple, or simply complex one
dependent on ones approach. Two masses of Christendom have for so long,
been fed an image and concept of Christ which is at best vague and
confusing. The focus on religious form and ceremony continues to detract
attention away from the many unanswered questions concerning the general
meanings of humanity and divinity and as they apply to Christ. As a matter
of fact the whole subject matter is built upon language and terminology
lacking in precise definition. People quote scriptures, build complex
systems of religious thought on the assumption the statements of scriptures
have the same meanings they have in mind. These meanings are usually
arrived at by the collective agreement of so called religious experts. This
forms the basis of authority in the religious community. It also forms the
basis for present day abuses and exploitation of religion.

The scriptures were written in the mind and spirit of God. These writers
were divinely inspired. Likewise, they are to be read and understood in the
light of the mind and spirit of God. There are also unanswered questions as
to how one is to understand the scriptures in accordance with the
perspective of God. Further, how one knows one is doing this ? These issues
are crucial and need to be addressed before one can appreciate the truth of
Christ. Faith was not our excuse for laziness of mind. Rather, a framework
for the rebuilding of the mind after the order and fashion of God.

Additional questions arise concerning the nature and operation of the human
mind. In our experiences of life we find a general tendency not to want to
face the truth. Especially where it effects us negatively. In our
insatiable thirst for self preservation, we cover up, ignore, and sidestep
that which we do not like about ourselves, or that which we do not want to
be known. As a matter of fact, we create sophisticated networks of talk,
actions, instructions and practices aimed at keeping secret that which we
do not want others to know. This tendency transcends all bounds and has
proliferated to such degree it has consumed us. The question, what is truth
and reality is virtually unanswerable.

It is against this background of self deception and ignorance people seek
to address the subject of Christ. The superstitious thought perceptions
associated with such mythical figures as Santa Claus, Peter Pan forms the
basis of the perception of Christ for many.

It is through the presence of thought perceptions shaping our mindset, that
we see what we see. To address the truth of Christ, it is first necessary
to consider whether or not our present mindset is sufficient to enable us
to comprehend such a truth. The truth of Christ and of God is not earthly
and cannot be properly understood by earthly thought perceptions. As a
matter of fact Christ's primary purpose in coming to this earth was to
inspire man to trust in Him. Through this trusting relationship He could
lead man through experiences [ ? ] thought perceptions, outside his present
conceptual frame of thinking. By these man would be better placed to
perceive Christ and to embark upon a program of action revolutionizing life
on earth. The fallen human mind is not only confused, but also inatly
incapable of perceiving it's own confusion. Common sense reasoning is below
that necessary to fully grasp earthly reality, let alone divine reality.
The prophet Jeremiah sought to draw attention to this when he said "O Lord
I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man that walketh
to direct his step (Jer.10:37). Implied in this statement is the thought
that there is a specific direction for man to walk in. Jeremiah's
perception arose out of his direct encounter with Christ- the word of God.
I assume it was out of this encounter he became conscious of such a
direction and the fact that man has major difficulties guiding himself.

In the absence of God how then can one man guide another. Human leadership,
over their fellow humans, must therefore be questioned particularly where
there is no knowledge of the sanction of God. In more direct and simple
terms our present leaders are bogus ! Many are becoming perceptive to this
fact which is a source of concern to the leadership. The web of secrecy
practiced by governments and leaders sanctioned by bogus laws is an effort
to suppress awareness of the illegitimacy of their position. People are
kept subject to this foolishness by fear of imprisonment, disgrace or even
death. Others continue to support the situation for reward. It certainly
does not bear the sanction of God. Further anyone who would truly seek God.
This system makes them it's enemy.

Developing the question of the present human mindsets ability or inability
to comprehend the truth of Christ the Apostle John stated that the word of
God became flesh and dwelt among men; but they comprehended him not. Todays
Christianity looks back at this event making the pompous judgment; if it
were back then it would have comprehended. It certainly would not have
killed him ! They fail to comprehend that the basis of todays comprehension
are the utterances of 2,000 years ago. The onset of time and tradition has
advanced us very little. It has been nearly 2000 years and we have still
failed to perceive the message of the scripture. To [cry] the horse has
bolted after the event gives one no advantage above those who did not have
the foresight to see the event, just because you were not there. It really
amounts to justification by excuse.

So then, to address what I have termed the truth of Christ, one needs to
address the many underlying thought perceptions one brings to the subject
matter. To assume that ones existing mindset of thought perceptions can
enable one to perceive the truth of Christ is highly questionable. The
rebuilding of the human mind after the order of Christ is an essential
pre-requisite to understanding Christ. The scriptures play a major role in
this process. Through them every man has access to Christ, who is the Word
of God. It details God's dealings with mankind through His word. Including
the spectacular event of his taking on human form. It will be revealed this
was not the only occasion. Through knowing the word, presently in written
form, we come to a knowledge of Christ. The details of history show how man
has treated the word of God. His appearing in human form and being rejected
and killed is only unique in it's form. This has been typical of how man
has treated the Word period. Consideration of the reason for Christ coming
makes this treatment diabolical. This planet is about to undergo
cataclysmic changes. Christ's purpose is redemptive. The performance of a
salvaging act for man which he cannot do himself. It starts with the
renewing of the mind ending with a replacing of the body and it's
environment. All far superior to that which we presently are and have. In
the form we are we have been sentenced to destruction. The efforts of
Christ has facilitated postponement of the day of execution. But with the
opening of the Seals, our judgment has come.

There are significant truths of scriptures pertinent to shaping our
knowledge and perception of Christ, God, and ourselves. Meditations on the
thoughts expressed in the text comparing thought with thought fixes our
minds to a place of comprehending these truths. The following represents an
inquiry into these truths of Christ, God and man. There is a general
tendency among Christians to focus on the Gospel records alone in forming
their image and perception of Christ. An image and perception they [seek]
to conform to. But, was this the purpose of the Gospels ? It's funny how
Christians perceive different images of Christ. What did the apostles
perceive ? What did Christ seek to portray ? Did he reveal himself or God ?
What does being like Christ really mean ? Does this harmonize with what
people perceive today ? How do we know ? Could it be there is more to
Christ then the imagination of our minds and the feelings of our human
hearts can comprehend ?

The Apostle John was given a unique revelation of Christ ,whilst imprisoned
on the Isle of Patmos. This occurred sometime after the ascension. What
about that revelation ! How does it effect our perceptions of Christ ? As a
matter of interest - Why did the record state - The revelation of Jesus
Christ that God gave unto him (Christ) to show unto his servants... and he
sent and signified it by his angel... Could it be that mankind does not
know this Christ ? The Christ of the book sealed with Seven Seals ? What
did the Prophet Daniel have to say about this book ? Who was to emerge in
the earth in the end of time to open the book ? These are significant
questions. They require a response a little more mature than "just accept
Jesus and forget about it". This seems to be the popular approach[ ]among
men in the Christian world today. Of major importance in forming a
knowledge of Christ, is a serious consideration of the nature of the word
of God. "The words I speak they are spirit and they are life" declared
Christ. Being the word of God, without flesh he is Spirit and life. Things
happened when Christ spoke, spectacular things ! To receive this word is to
receive spirit and life, him ! How does this differ from ordinary human
words ? How does it effect our ability to comprehend ? In my experience the
Word of God (Christ) in you has a life of it's own. It is dynamic. Taking
over, it illuminates and empowers the mind showing errors in thought
perceptions. Significantly this is not a once for all action. It's
progressive. One is unable to say at any one point in time this is truth.
Rather, it is a case of being in the truth. Truth is external. When one
grasps a divine thought perception it sets the stage for appreciating
greater thought perceptions. It's never ending. This is what makes it
living as opposed to dead. A dead thought has a beginning and an end. The
thoughts of man are of this nature. Equally, the mindset of man has become
programmed to think in terms of beginning and end. The mindset of the mind
renewed by the word of God (spirit of life) is not programmed to think in
terms of beginning and end, but is eternal. It just is ! [Trusting] in the
spirit of life. Here lies the importance of faith. Trusting in God (spirit
of life) to direct rather then the wisdom, so called, we humans glean from
our sensory contact with our environment. Christ's words are as eternal as
he is. The meaning humans attribute to them spring from our finite minds.
In his use of illustrations and parables Christ sought to employ language
we are familiar with as men, to inspire us to something greater. How do you
teach living and eternal thoughts to a dead and finite mind ? You don't.
Rather, you seek to develop faith, trust. In such a relationship mans mind
can be brought to appreciate it's finiteness, and the infinite nature of
the mind of God. By trusting to the mind of God, the spirit of life, we
live in him. To separate from him we become subject to ourselves and dead
thoughts. God is our life. Without him in us we have no life.

The above is an [ experiencial ] reality not a theory. Life is in the
illumination of the mind. The point of which God and man meet. Continuing
in this illumination is the life in a "living soul". The life of all living
things. It is a truth, a state of being. One cannot know truth until one is
in the state of being true. Mans present condition is a lie. Everything
that [ ] from him reflects this lie. This was not the man that God
originally created. We have become this as a result of the Edenic fall.
Returning to our original condition requires the establishment in us of a
faith - trust in God - that cannot be broken by anything of the realm of
spirit or matter. The hard part has been finding God. Man cannot find him
of himself, and attempts by God to reveal himself to man tend to be
rejected of man. But God has a final trick. This is the subject matter of
the Seven Seals. Unknown to man it has already been set in motion.

I noted earlier that God is the spirit of life illuminating the mind.
Giving it life and sustaining it's life through an unbroken connection. The
human body is a cocoon for the newly created soul. The soul, by progressing
in the illumination of the spirit would itself become as God, Spirit,
existing the body. This process was temporarily interrupted in Eden. That
it's possible look to the butterfly and the caterpillar.

Two thousand years ago in 1st. century Palestine, the spirit of life
revealed itself in Christ, by taking on flesh. The flip side to this is,
Christ revealed God, the spirit of life, in himself. Who or what did man
see back then ? Christ ? Yes and no ! God ? Equally yes and no ! This may
seem like a riddle, but the problem is with the way man thinks. People ask
us to explain what we know. It is not about explaining what we know.
Rather, it's about people becoming what we are, free from the imprisonment
of our own thoughts. When we speak of ourselves, God and Christ, people do
not hear us. They hear themselves in the light of what we say. It is
impossible to bridge this difference without faith. This involves letting
go of ones thoughts. People are afraid to do this. Hence the need for
trust. This wall of separation exists between all men. Even a man and woman
in a marital union, which is not really marriage as God perceives it. This
is more aptly evident during sexual intercourse. Neither party really feel
each other. The man does not know what the woman is feeling, nor the woman
the man. They feel how they are affected by the contact between themselves.

The condition of being trapped in ones self both mind and body is the
problem of all problems facing man. We are truly separated and isolated
from each other. We are lonely yet created to be twain. Eve was in Adam's
self and Adam in Eve's. They were in each others mind and felt each others
feelings. This was God's ideal of marriage, and the basic unit of man. The
Edenic fall substituted this for the present situation. The experience of
what once was is a distant impulse in us.. It's the source out of which our
need for companionship arises. The unions we presently make are
insufficient to fill the void, falling far short of the divine ideal. The
original situation was what is meant by the image of God, twain, male and
female. This also effects the way we think. It takes the union of
masculinity and femininity according to the divine ideal of mind, to
comprehend God. This union does not exist among men. Further, the
contribution they make separated from each other, just doesn't cut it.
Against this background one is better placed to understand the concept of
God in Christ. Eve was in Adam. Christ came to lift man out of the prison
house of his own mind. He gave man a living demonstration of Adam before
sin, and before Eve was taken out of him. A living demonstration of God's
ideal man. At the cross, ordinarily something else should have come out of
his side, than blood and water. His glory, his Eve if you will. But he gave
her up committing her into the hands of the father, accepting death in the
place of man's stead. Christ acted out of the mind of God, the spirit of
life. Which incidentally is male and female. He did not think his own
thoughts. Consequently what was revealed was God but what was seen was
Christ. He demonstrated absolute selflessness. But the question still
remains What is Christ ? The revelation of Christ was yet to come.
Knowledge of this revelation to come, was shown to the Apostle John while
exiled on the isle of Patmos. This is the subject matter of the sealed
book. Knowing it's contents is crucial to understanding God, Christ, David
Koresh and Mt. Carmel. It is important to note that being freed from
yourself does not destroy your awareness of self. Being illuminated and
appreciating the divine mind, your better placed to see yourself for what
you really are. This destroys the power of self over you; partaking of the
divine mind being so much better. It was largely for this reason Christ
could be selfless. There are other benefits, like being able to die and
come back ! Christ demonstrated this at the resurrection. All who have been
freed from the power of themselves will finally be resurrected in the world
to come, bearing the image of God. Perfectly mated male and female. This is
what Christ meant when he said in the resurrection they neither marry or
given in marriage but are as the angels. This is also known as the Marriage
Supper of the Lamb. Further, having God's mindset of thought perceptions we
are no longer subject to death. This is not so to those who remain subject
to themselves.

Humans think their own thoughts not the thoughts of God. The former is
temporal, while the latter is eternal. Human thoughts create a mindset
incompatible with God's spirit, in us as conscience. These thoughts have a
blocking effect on the spirit. We are alerted to it's existence but rarely
respond to it. Many are confused as to what it is. When our mindset is
renewed after the order of God, we automatically respond out of his spirit.
You lose the distinction between your mind and conscience because you
become one with it. However, being one with conscience you become at odds
with a world at odds with it's own conscience!

The significance of the knowledge of Christ is it's foundation and role in
understanding the truth of God's mindset. Christ is to God as word is to
thought. Thoughts cannot be known without their being given expression to
through speech (words). Christ (Word) is the medium through which God
(thought -Spirit and mind) is communicated. Without this knowledge of God
mankind cannot be renewed in the image of God. As mans life force becomes
departed he faces extinction. That is, if ignorance doesn't destroy him
first. In any event his departed life force lessens his ability to resist
the encroachment of the elements upon his constitution. Ultimately the
world returns to a state of formlessness and void. As it was in the
beginning of this creation. The depletion of mans life force is socially
evident in the silence of conscience - moral decay. We see this a mindless
lust for sensual stimuli, a misguided effort to hold on to what is really
the tinsel of life.

For those still possessed of a will to continue in the pursuit of God, this
information may be of value. However, for the masses it's a case of eat,
drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. An attitude of mind very profitable
to the merchants, who have been instrumental in creating it. Human
leadership was for so long misguided and exploited people to the extent
that the will to care was virtually depleted in many. People have become
angry, bitter and revengeful. The expression of these feelings may not of
themselves be life giving or restorative of the will to pursue God.
Nevertheless, they are powerful in breaking one away from being subject to
these miserable, misguided and exploitative guides.

One further significance of the knowledge of Christ and it's power to
renews the mind, is the consequences for the existing status quo,
political, economic, social, religious and environmental. Two thousand
years ago Christ was perceived as a threat to the establishment then. As a
matter of fact this was the primary motivation for the leadership to kill
him. Today the truth of Christ - the subject of the Seven Seals - reveals a
king and a kingdom destined to rule over the whole earth. It does not take
a fool to realize the present leadership will soon be history ! I doubt
very much they are willing to submit quietly. As a matter of fact they
don't. This is not of concern because they loose anyway. What is of concern
is the fact that each individual must decide for themselves which side they
belong to. This is their right and obligation. Ignorance and indecision are
no longer valid excuses for probationary time.

In this section I shall take a more detailed look at Mt. Carmel itself.
Hitherto I have purposely limited my usage of direct scriptural quotes. In
this section I shall show less restraint. Mt. Carmel has been a stumbling
block for many. This was purposely designed so of heaven. It reflects the
shock one experiences from the conscience, in its efforts to alert you to
thoughts and actions done contrary to itself. The way things have concluded
leaves the human mind in a state of flux. Similar to how the conscience
leaves you until you truthfully address the problem. How people deal with
Mt. Carmel in their own minds is a judgment upon themselves. It pays to be
informed about the real truth of Mt. Carmel. God, through the scriptures
describes it as his snare for Babylon, the confusion in the world.

I am astonished at the wisdom of God, and highly honored to have taken part
in this extraordinary event. The stress on the remnants of my humanity has
been tremendous, but it will be shown to have been more than worthwhile.
Since leaving Mt. Carmel and the subsequent injustice of my incarceration,
I have found that people generally aren't interested in truth. They seek on
occasion to unload their emotions, on whatever cause they represent. The
saw in Mt. Carmel just such an occasion. This is not to deny the legitimacy
of their cause. Nevertheless, it made for much difficulty in clarifying
what Mt. Carmel was about. People were talking not hearing. Now things have
slowed down. They are hopefully better placed to hear. Also I now know I
needed a greater education of people, [ experientially] . My knowledge of
myself was not sufficient to give me the confidence I needed to assist me
in understanding others. This exposure was above and beyond my wildest
imagination. I remarked earlier that in order to attain to the truth of
Christ - the subject of the Seven Seal - it is necessary to transcend the
present human mindset. This was the experience of the Patriarchs, Prophets
and also the Apostles. Note the following: IIPeter I:16,20-21 - Romans
16:25-26 - Acts 9:1-6 - ICor 2 - Rev 1:9-17; 4:1 - IJohn 1:1-4 - Rev 22:8;
10:7 - Hosea 12:10 - Dan 2:19; 7:1; 8:1-2; 9:20-22; 10:1-7 - Isa 1:4; 6:1-8
- Jer 1:1-4 - Ezek 1:1-3 - Hos 1: 1-2 - Joel 1:1-2 - Jonah 1:1 - Micah
1:1-2. These men had a direct encounter with the supernatural. The
scriptures is a record of those encounters. It is our own choice to believe
or reject their claims. The whole nation of Israel experienced such an
encounter the height of which under the leadership of Moses. They were
forced to go beyond the ordinary experiences of the human mind. But were
convicted by conscience of the divine nature of the experience.

The transcendence of the human mind opens the mind to hearing God in the
light of God. Not hearing themselves in the light of God. The thoughts of
God are not human thoughts Isa 55:6-9 - ICor 2:7-16. To attain to his
thoughts require a forsaking of our own. This is usually done against the
background of some divine action in the realm of the human.

Mt. Carmel was designed of heaven to accomplish first such a transcendence.
This process is distinctly referred to as the "quickening". Through it God
accomplishes his recreative work on the mind. Note the following: Isa
11:1-4 - ICor 15:45-47 - Ps I :1-3 - Ps
119:27,35,40,48,50,68,78,93,97,99,107,149,154,156,159,172 - Eph 2:1,4,5. It
involved choice experiences, serious bible study in an atmosphere of faith.
Absolute openness of ourselves, and a willingness to sacrifice human
aspirations. Finally and most important inspiration, direct divine
inspiration. Through these experiences we were able to hear God's word
while blocking out the noise of humanity. I believe that was what the rest
of the world labeled brainwashing. The truth is it's the world that is
brainwashed, by it's own self deception. This process is typical of those
who have sought God in the past. They certainly did not conform to the
popular life styles and thinking.

The process of quickening is designed to bring one into the divine nature,
which is salvation. Note 2Peter1:1-4, Heb 12:1-10, Ps 119:172, 40 Isa
28:9-13, 55:3-4, Ezek20:33-38.

David Koresh was the prophesied instrument through whom God spake. Elected
by heaven to reveal the Seven Seals. The source of our strength, as Samson
had seven locks. The theology is more detailed then I can express here.
Nevertheless, note the young man of Zech 2. The one raised up from the
north Isa 41:25. The ravenous bird of Isa 46:11 cf. 16:1,2, Eccl 12;4. The
anointed one surnamed Cyrus (Koresh) Isa 45:1- 4, cf. Ps 45:1-6,7,
89:3,19-21, Heb 1. The one who comes in the volume of the book, his
iniquities more then the hairs of his head, Ps 40 cf. Rev 1:1, 5:1-7,
[6:1], 22:12. The one shepherd and prince of Isa 40:10-12, Eccl 12:11, Ezek
34:22-25, 37:21-27. The David of the Psalms of whom the spirit spoke by
King David of old (the type) about, 2Sam 23:1,2, Ps1-150, Jer 23:5,6, 30:9,
33:15-26, Hos 3:5, Ezek 34:22-25, 37:21-27, Isa 55:3,4. Note the covenant
of Heb12:18-25, Dan11: 32-35, Ezek 20:33-37. The nail, corner, bow and
oppressor Isa 22:22-23, Zech 10:4. The one who has the children (vessel) of
the lord, Isa 53:10; 22:24, cf. Zech 13:7.

The above is a basic introduction to the very detailed subject of the
continuing revelation of Christ. The level of perception of the general
Christian mindset will no doubt find difficulty with this. This comes as no
surprise. Christianity has become complacent for many years now a situation
aptly described in Rev 3:14-22. The carnal human mind cannot perceive the
things of God. This much should be clear by now. This problem will be
addressed in the soon coming kingdom of God. The divine will once again act
in the human. It will be quite spectacular. Note Dan2:44; 7:13,14, Isa
2:2-4, Micah 4:1-3, Zech 8:1-8, 20-23; 14, Ezek36:22-30, Hos 3:4,5, Jer
30:18-22, 23:1- 6 , 33:5-9. At that time the truth of David Koresh and Mt.
Carmel will be unmistakably clear. Note Isa 25:6,7.

An accurate appreciation of Mt. Carmel cannot be had without an
understanding of David Koresh. This requires a knowledge of his spirit,
reflected in what he taught. One is thereby better placed to judge us,
knowing the measure we judge ourselves. This being the scriptures. Our
actions and the reasons for them can then be clearly seen. Contrastingly
the government sought to portray David as some vile, crazed, maniac. Think
about it ! It never knew him. It never lived, ate, drank with him. It never
played, worked and studied with him. Yet it considered itself qualified to
judge him. Is this how people desire to be judged by their elected
government.

The attitude of the agents were, they were doing the job they were paid to
do. This concerns me greatly. Since an attitude was no different to the
officers of the Nazi government of WWII. The surrender of ones
conscientious judgment to external orders, for a pay check, while
simultaneously perpetuating the most horrendous crimes is inexcusable. A
"soul-less" institution called government has no place ruling over "living
souls". That so many members of the public cared so little is evidence of
the sickness of "soullessness" among the governed. Their cry of blame and
anger towards the residents of Mt. Carmel is of significance. It is
evidence of a stir in the consciousness reminding them of what they have
allowed themselves to become. "Soullessness" is an unnatural position to
conform to. As a matter of fact it's an admission one has become less then
being in the image of God. In short one is as the beast of the fields. To
be reminded of this through so dramatic a show of "living souls" triumphing
over pressure to conform is unsettling.

Dealing with the reports of David's conduct was a problem for many. They
spoke of child abuse, multiple wives etc... The sins of this generation
which it does not want to face. Let me state clearly there was nothing that
David did out of harmony with the word of God. These reports were highly
sensationalized and need to be seen in the context of scriptures to be
properly understood. Not in the context of this generations pretentious
morality. In any event consider the following : God instructed the prophet
Isaiah to walk naked and barefoot three years Isa 20:1-3 Why ? He
instructed Hosea the priest to marry a prostitute [ in addition ] the
lesbian lover of a prostitute Hos1:2; 3:1 Why ? The prophet Ezekiel was
instructed to gather grains to make bread. In the process mix it with
"shit" first human, but when Ezekiel protested God permitted him to use cow
"shit". He was then to eat this and drink water both in measure, before the
people. God further killed his wife instructing him not to morn Ezek
4:9-17; 24:15-18 Why ? Abraham was instructed of a voice to offer his son
Issac as a sacrifice Gen 22 Why ? The apostle Paul described these actions
as the foolishness of God chosen to confound and bring to nought the
mighty. These are mere examples of the mysterious workings of God. Ways and
means he employs to nurture faith and capture the attention of a rebellious
stiff-necked people bent on their soul destruction ICor 1:19-28, Ps 58:3-5.
Ezek 12:2.

Consider further what was really taught in the sacrificial system of the
two goats under Moses ? The first was pure and offered as a sin offering.
The second, the scapegoat, had all the peoples iniquities confessed upon it
and offered as an atonement for sins. Both were symbols of Christ. What did
Isaiah really teach about the one who bore our sins ? Will people really
mourn when they see the truth of all this ? Lev16, Isa 53. Suffice it to
say at this point David's conduct although biblical was burdensome to him
too. His love for God and man was nevertheless of greater consideration.

In summary, Christ is the word of God. Being the word of he revealed God's
will and purpose. This revelation has been coming for nearly six thousand
years. Mans experience of sin, afforded him the necessary conceptual tools
for God to teach him why God is what he is. Yes, God has been through it
before us, and has concluded it does not work. That's why he destroyed it
and covered it up with water. In drawing back the waters and bringing
creation back into existence - note from used materials - he sought to save
his son Lucifer who had rebelled in heaven. Lucifer wanted to be
independent. This condition of being independent existed under the first
creation, and was the cause of it's destruction. As men we now know of this
[experientially ]. Should this condition be allowed to break out in heaven,
the consequences for existence would be unimaginable. We are dealing with
beings capable of traveling beyond the speed of light in their own power.
Earth is an example to the universe of the result of independence from God.
God is the spirit of life [ pervading ] and ordering all existence. This is
what Christ, the word of God has revealed God to be. The opening of the
seven seals concluded the age long mystery of God.

Two thousand years ago, in continuation of his efforts to instruct man, the
word of God took human form. Previously he generally operated through
prophets and holy men by inspiring their minds. In the realm of angels the
word of God is Michael the archangel. He's really God the spirit of life in
angelic form, the first of such. It was this Michael that divested himself
and took human form. This was symbolized in the sanctuary Moses was
instructed to build.

This same spirit of life extended itself to the person of Vernon Howell.
Being faithful to the calling to surrender himself as Vernon Howell, he was
instructed to take to himself David Koresh, his true identity according to
the will and purpose of the spirit of life. He was re-made in the spirit of
his mind after the fashion of God. Those of us who were at Mt. Carmel went
through a similar process. The scriptures speak of it as a new creation.
The apostles and prophets experienced it. In our time we experienced it
ahead of the rest of this generation. This maybe strange to man but not to
heaven. The process is completed when our bodies change.

The spirit of life seeks to dwell in all men. It illuminates the mind. In
man it is experienced as living thought perceptions, inspirations. It
renews the mind after the order of God. These thought perceptions unite us
with all things of God's government. In his independence mans knowledge is
really darkness. Through his shortcomings the world has become what it is.
It would appear advantageous to connect to the divine spirit, the wisdom
and knowledge of the universe. I don't consider it too much of a loss to
surrender ignorance, no more then giving up the infantile babblings of a
baby.

In the foregoing pages there are areas that I have not fully developed. I
am sure the reader might want to know about the historical background of
the group as well as individuals. Possibly, more insights into everyday
experiences at Mt. Carmel, particularly during the closing scenes. There
are reasons for these being absent. Firstly the subject is far more
extensive and detailed then it appears. We are the subject of an ongoing
prophetic program. Further down the line all will be made unmistakingly
clear.

Moreover, this is the continuation of the revelation of Christ, the word of
God. The [ ] details extending back prior to this creation and already
contained in the scriptures. With respect to ourselves. What is important
is not what we were, but what we have become. The true revelation of
ourselves is yet future.

Finally our purpose continues to be informative. We are not apologetic,
self [forgiving] , impressionistic and entertaining, nor do we seek
material gain. We want to fulfil our appointed purpose as simply,
effectively and as quickly as possible. The closing scenes of Mt. Carmel
was very effective in setting the stage for this.

With regards to the subject matter of the Seven Seals this is far more then
just the communication of information. It's the imparting of the spirit of
life. The information is already written, Genesis to Revelation. Man has
had access to these for centuries yet have [ ] of its spirit. The visible
manifestation of the kingdom of God remains the inescapable solution to
unbelief. The problem is the finality of such an event. Should man fail to
believe then, there is no more grace for salvation short of forcing the
human will. Such an act would be contrary to the principles of the
government of God. The tempo of what I've written probably reflects very
little of my personage. In my pursuit of truth I have tended to disregard
emotional considerations. I found the truth of Christ to be a principle,
emotions being a reflection of the short comings of our humanity. I have
also found a certain peace and assurance emanating from the knowledge of
being true to principle. She's like crystal waters refreshing every tissue
of the being. Comparatively far greater in comfort then human emotions.
Also, unlike human feelings she is constant. You can trust her
unreservedly.
