My Friends,
It's been a while since I made a substantial post so I thought I'd better give you some food for thought.
I'm behind on the next chapter partially because I've had a bad case of the flu this past week and all my extra energy has been spent in handling essential business. On the positive side I have gotten more sleep than I have in years. Maybe this is my soul's way of getting me to take a little rest.
I finally feel mentally alert enough to write again and hope to have the next chapter by this weekend.
Ruth quotes me and then asks a question:
"On the other hand, when he does appear, he will have to pick a certain day, and what if, by accident, some religious group happened to pick at or around that day for their prophecy. Would the Christ decide to take up his abode with them and no one else because they chose the lucky day? Most likely, Christ would find them so unwilling to learn and unenlightened he would ignore them, if at all possible...."
Ruth:
"JJ, I just read this passage from the Synthesis - Sign of the Son of Man and wondered - would the Christ really IGNORE anyone on Earth, as long as their heart was in the right place?
"I can't comprehend God or Jesus ignoring people on earth just because they didn't believe the same things as other people, even when they are struggling to find the truth and the light by whatever means possible."
JJ:
What makes you think that he will be so much different this time around than he was the last time he was here? When he was here last time he had to be selective with whom he spent time. Most of it was spent with his personal molecule (the twelve apostles and the women who were with them.) He spent much time with this small group because they had been prepared by John the Baptist for higher teachings. He explained to them that the masses were not ready for the mysteries which he revealed to them.
Then when he began his mission in Israel, the Bible tells us that during this three year period he was directed to concentrate on the Jews. He, of course, could not teach everyone, but the Jews provided him all the challenge he could handle as well as providing for fulfillment of the prophesies.
Even among the Jews, he was selective. He did not seek out the regular religious people or authorities to teach, but went to the common people who were not particularly religious, many of them considered irreligious.
The key here is that he dedicated as much time as possible to helping and teaching those who had faith in God, but would not reject him because of preconceived notions.
There were many who were waiting for the Messiah (including those who crucified him) but rejected him because Jesus did not fit into their belief system.
Now fast forward to his coming appearance.
Let us look at those who predict his exact coming, sell all they have and go up on a mountain thinking they will be chosen by him while the rest of the world will be destroyed. These people are like many of the religious fanatics who rejected him 2000 years ago. He had no desire to spend time with them then and will have no impetus to this time round either.
He will have a message that will go out to the world through the media and his words and face will be available for all who wish to listen and learn but it will take some time and effort before he makes a lot of headway.
As far as those with whom he personally spends time, this will be of a similar nature to the last time, with one change. Instead of being limited to one Molecule there will be a number ready to learn at his feet.
As far as his contact with the masses goes, he will be a little like Abraham Lincoln in the fact he will have greater respect for the common people with common sense than the high and mighty. Even so, he will have contact with the rulers of the earth when the time is right.
Ruth:
"When Jesus came the first time to Earth centuries ago, were the people prepared for Him and was there a gathering of 'Lights,' or was that the test run, and this time we had better get it right or else!"
JJ:
This is answered in Chapter Nine of my book, The Gathering of Lights. You might want to read the whole chapter. Here is a partial quote:
"Few are aware that Christ, in his day, made an attempt to literally commence a literal gathering of Israel. However, little is written of this attempt because of his lack of success. As he was teaching, Jesus said: 'He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.' (Luke 11:23)
"Near the end of his life Jesus exclaimed: 'O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, HOW OFTEN WOULD I HAVE GATHERED THY CHILDREN TOGETHER, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.' (Matt 23:37-38)
"The word 'Gathered' here comes from the Greek EPISUNAGO which literally means 'to collect in one location' and is usually translated as 'gathered together' in the King James. A more correct rendering of the above scripture would be: 'How often I would have gathered into one place thy children, even as a hen gathers into one place her chickens under her wings.'
"Even though the people did not respond in his day, Jesus prophesied of success in a day to come: 'And he shall send his angels (From the Greek AGGELOS which means 'messenger') with the sound of a trumpet, (Great power of speech), and they shall gather together (gather into one place) his elect (Israel) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.' (Matt 24:31)"
Ruth:
"If only a small percentage of people have gained enough of the truth and light for Him to return, will that be enough to prevent utter destruction of this planet? If not, then what happens to the "lights" already here when that utter destruction comes?"
JJ:
No matter what happens, there will only be a small number ready for his light when he comes. For his coming to be successful, the door to evil (mentioned in the Great Invocation) must be sealed so this small number can effectively assist him. In addition, the servants working in preparation must receive spiritual protection through the Song of the 144,000 until this door is sealed.
The chances are largely in our favor that the Coming of Christ will be successful and that a desolating destruction can be avoided--at least for some time.
The choice before us is a smooth transition into the New Age or a bumpy one. A bumpy one would involve a few atomic bombs going off by negative forces to wake humanity up to take action to make weapons of mass destruction illegal worldwide with swift destruction meted out on anyone who seeks to develop them.
Right now we are at a crossroads in sealing the door of evil that Djwhal Khul (DK) speaks of. The biggest link between Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein is not in their current physical interrelationship, but in their interlinking relationship to the Dark Brothers on the subtle planes. They both seek world domination at any price and are willing to destroy the world (if they get the opportunity) to carry out their desires.
A third link in this trinity of darkness is Kim Jong-il, supreme leader of North Korea. He is dangerous because of his current power and his desperate dependence on other nations for his people to even eat.
Even though Kim Jong-il is the most powerful, he is also has the most likelihood of containment if wisdom is used. If he is managed correctly, a regime change will naturally occur in the near future and the country can finally begin to move into the modern age.
On the other hand, Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein will not give up seeking world domination until they are incapacitated or dead. Continued inspections will not stop Saddam but just provide a continued source of irritation to him, making him more eager to strike back. Besides, he will throw the inspectors out as soon as the U.S. forces withdraw from his border--and if war does not break out they cannot stay there for long. Because of this, George Bush is correct in going after both of them with all the force he can assemble. He and Tony Blair now have 225,000 U.S. troops and 25,000 English troops ready to attack, but because of weather and finances the window of opportunity must be taken within the next month or two, or not at all.
This is the opportunity to take out this most important point of this axis of darkness. He should be taken out even if the cost is great, because if he is not taken out now the chances of future devastation is many times greater than what the coming war would cost.
If Bush is successful in taking out Saddam Hussein then the path to sealing to door to evil will be in sight and the coming of Christ will be much nearer than otherwise would be the case.
How long could his coming be delayed if this opportunity is not taken? It could be several years or several decades.
Now some may think that Christ would have nothing to do with any war and in this they are in illusion. Note this scripture:
"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him (Christ) was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge AND MAKE WAR." (Rev 19:11)
Also note this one:
"The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name." (Exodus 15:3)
When the time is right, the Masters will support a war. DK tells us that Christ worked through England's Prime Minister Winston Churchill and US President Franklin Delanor Roosevelt (FDR) to assist the Allies in defeating Hitler in World War II.
If I were to tell you he is working through Bush to put an end to Saddam Hussein and other points of darkness many would not believe. Some would not believe because they think all war is bad. Others would not believe because Bush does not conform to their political belief system. Others would not believe because they think Bush is the great threat rather than Saddam Hussein.
On this point I would advise all to become as a child and drop all belief systems and seek an answer through the soul with no preconceived notions.
There are a number of illusions about war. The biggest illusion is that it can be avoided. Take the current peace activists, for instance, even though they claim to be anti-war they are fighting a war to end war.
What war is that?
First let us look at the definition of war:
"A concerted effort or campaign to combat or put an end to something considered injurious."
The current peace activists consider Bush going in an injurious direction and are definitely making war against him and everyone who supports him.
They are definitely involved in an emotional war against a physical war. If they are successful the cost will be a greater future physical war and the blood of the future will be on their hands.
Note the name of the Fourth Ray - the Ray of Harmony through Conflict. Another name for this Ray is Peace through War, but it was not called such for us because many have a warped definition of what peace is. Peace is not the sleep of death. Nor is it the absence of struggle. Nor is it forced silence. Nor is it lack of freedom to move or to speak.
True peace involves harmony.
True peace on earth will come when there is harmony between the differing nations, groups and peoples. Just because a tyrant has no rebellion in his kingdom does not mean that he has achieved peace. Underneath there is tremendous disharmony as the people yearn for freedom.
Harmony, which is an ingredient of true peace, can only be achieved in an atmosphere of true freedom.
If we say we have peace on the earth when there are tyrants persecuting and suppressing their people--where there are no free elections, where one cannot stand on a street corner and disagree with the leader of the country, then the people are in the sleep of death and have no chance for harmonic peace.
Conditions do not have to be perfect, but the major seeds of tyranny must be overthrown so the door to evil can be sealed tightly enough to make the appearance of the Master productive enough to warrant his presence.
He will not come until his work with humanity has a good chance to bear the desired fruit.
