Friday night Michael went to the barn about 10 p.m. and
while there he was praying but he did not feel that God was
there anymore, as though God had left it. What he thought
of were the images that Ashley Sayer saw there. I think
what she saw was dead people all over the place. In the
morning he got a letter from Ephraim which said that when
Ephraim woke up that day he felt like God had left, and he
began praying, "I cannot live this way." Michael wrote to
him, and in the letter he just told him to trust that all
was well. And when Ephraim read it he said that all of that
went away.
Michael sensed that there was no God in the land anymore -
not that He wasn't in the people, He just wasn't in the
land. It was like God was lifting off, leaving, and the
people were going to go with Him. He said that when he
began his fast it was an act of God. God caused him to pray
for the change. That was the beginning of our whole change
and our leaving, and now it seemed like Father was carrying
that process through with these different tokens.
Michael had gone to his bookshelf and pulled out the
Pseudepigrapha and opened it and began reading about Enoch,
how he was going through all these devil kingdoms and
having all of these difficulties. And then he was being
assured by Michael the Archangel that all was well.
Then in chapter 22 of the second book of Enoch, fragment J,
he read this (I will reword this a little bit as I have two
versions before me and I will choose the best of them):
In the tenth heaven the archangel Michael led Enoch to
stand before the Lord's face
1 On the tenth heaven I saw the appearance of the Lord's
face, like iron made to glow in fire, and brought out,
emitting sparks as it burns.
2 Thus in a moment of eternity I saw the Lord's face, but
the face of the Lord is not to be talked about. It is so
very marvelous and supremely awesome, and frightening.
3 And who am I to give an account of the Lord and of His
very wonderful face? And I cannot tell the quantity of his
many instructions, and various voices. The Lord's throne is
very great and not made with hands. And the choir stalls
all around Him, the cherubim and the seraphim armies and
their never silent singing. Who can give an account of His
beautiful appearance, never changing and indescribable, and
His great glory?
4 And I fell down flat before the Lord, and the Lord with
His own mouth said to me:
5 Have courage, Enoch, do not fear, arise and stand before
my face forever.
6 And Michael the Archangel lifted me up, and brought me in
front of the Lord's face.
7 And the Lord said to His servants: Let Enoch stand before
My face into eternity, and the glorious ones bowed down to
the Lord, and said: Let Enoch go according to Your word.
8 And the Lord said to Michael: Go and extract (take) Enoch
from out of his earthly clothing, and anoint him with My
delightful oil, and put him into the clothes of My glory.
(Michael has been extracting us from our "animal skins" so
that we might have a new body. Our "animal skins" could be
our earth view, our earthly covering, or our character
change.)
9 And Michael did as the Lord told him. He anointed me, and
dressed me, and the appearance of that ointment is more
than the greatest light, and his ointment is like sweet
dew, and its smell like myrrh, shining like the sun's ray,
and I looked at myself, and I had become like one of his
glorious ones and there was no observable difference.
Anaiah said that the interesting thing is, that Father had
him open the book and read it at this time. Michael replied
that Ellen White said, "Don't study the Bible that way."
Esther said, "I do that all the time."
He said that the Pseudepigrapha speaks of the sons of
Hagar, who are the Muslims and Palestinians. He then
compared some historical facts with the book of Revelation.
Which gave a different outcome of the prophecies written
there. He pointed out that Papal Rome ruled the world and
destroyed whoever would not yield to her. And during that
period of the Papal rule, those prophecies that John wrote
were actually being fulfilled, like the devil being bound
for a thousand years. There was a thousand years of
“peace”, for the adversary was bound (so to speak). From
the earth's picture of things, Rome was an indisputable
leader for a thousand years. The Khazars kept the sons of
Hagar out of Europe. That historical time period was five
times longer than the history of the United States. It is
true that the Roman Catholics were apostate, but they had
the oracles of God and it was from them that we got our
Bible, and people like Madame Guyon.
It was the same for us. The Seventh-day Adventists gave us
the writings of Ellen White. These were the oracles of God.
But the SDA's are apostate, too. In the book of Revelation
it says, "when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall
be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive
the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth,
Gog and Magog. . .(These are the Khazars now the New World
Order, atheistic Zionists set on world domination) And they
went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp
of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came
down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the
devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and
shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." -
Revelation 20:8-10
And since the Reformation this has occurred. Michael said,
"I'm not discounting Ellen White's view of this, but
prophecy is like a flower which has many petals. This is
just another way to see the interpretation. The idea of
Enoch, or the people of God, getting a new body would be
like fire coming down and destroying the wicked." Michael
thought that this "fire" of our change would be the
vindication of what God has done here. That along with the
resurrection of the dead and our leaving may burn them for
some time after we leave. He said Jesus probably read the
Book of Enoch and in there "Son of Man" is capitalized,
which is "God with us". And the Jews of His time knew what
"Son of Man" really meant, which is why they were so mad at
him.
Gabriel brought out the point that when Jesus healed the
blind man, Jesus asked him if he believed on the Son of
Man. And the blind man said, "Who is he that I may believe
on him?" The Pharisees understood this to mean more than
just any man who is born of man.
Michael pointed out that the way the Eastern mind thinks is
very different from the way the western mind works. And
when these prophets used these visual images, like the sun
becoming dark or the moon turning to blood, they knew what
those terms meant. But the Western mind doesn't have a
clue. The Eastern writers saw it all very differently. And
it has been the same with us here. We apply things as the
prophets did. When they spoke of a man coming in the clouds
of heaven they were not thinking of a body dangling from a
rope up in the sky. They knew what that appearance was.
Those born of the Spirit understand these spiritual images
that the natural man cannot understand. Although Ellen
White wrote using many of these terms by virtue of the
visions she saw, yet she may not have understood them in
the way that we do. But she did begin to understand, for
instance, she said that the three angels flying in the
midst of heaven were not heavenly angels, but people with a
message.
Michael said the "woman in the wilderness" was given the
"wings of an eagle", which mean that she would get there
very quickly. And Mother said the escrow (for this land)
closed within two weeks. [Just after that was said, the
thunder rolled in the sky.]
When John wrote "666" that could be seen then. The Pagan
priests in Rome wore amulets around their necks with 666 on
them. How much clearer could it be? It said it was a city
built on seven hills. All of the imagery used in Revelation
clearly speaks of the Rome of John's day. Revelation
18:5-24 describes the destruction of Pagan Rome very
clearly. And what rose from those ashes was the Papacy. And
Michael referred to this as being God's kingdom being
established in the earth when Satan was bound for a
thousand years. Then it says that the devil was loosed and
there were wars.
The time of Luther could be considered as the beginning of
the saints of God standing on the wall, looking at the
wicked. He said if it wasn't for Rome, what would Luther
have? And if wasn't for the SDA's, what would we have?
There is this process of swinging from truth to apostasy,
and both the Jews and Rome and the SDA's have all gone
through that. They started out relatively pure, and then
became very dark. But they all had the oracles of God.
Someone said the light shines out of the darkness,
inferring that Jesus was the Light that shone out of the
darkness of Judaism; the Reformers were the Light that
shone out of the darkness of the Papacy; and we are the
Light that has shined out of the darkness of the Adventist
church.
Michael pointed out that the Jews were in apostasy most of
their existence, full of idolatry and paganism. Yet they
were still considered God's people because they had the
oracles of God. When it came time for the end of the Jews
they were given a 490-year period. And when it came time
for the end of the Christians, they were given a 490-year
period. He said that during the thousand years of peace it
could be considered the apocalyptic age. It was the New
World Order - the Khazars - who struck the final blow
against the Catholics' supremacy in the world in the late
1700. They fomented the French Revolution under the
doctrine of "reason". The Papacy was successful in keeping
the Bible out of the hands of the common people in France.
Therefore they had no standards for right and wrong, which
made way for the philosophy of the Revolution. The first to
go to the guillotine was the Catholic priesthood, so they
opened the way for their own destruction. And since that
time the Khazars have been taking control of one nation
after another. Michael called the New World Order "the
devil's kingdom of war".
Then he read from the first chapter of Revelation, "The
Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to
show unto his servants things which must shortly come to
pass. . ." And then from the last chapter, "He which
testifies these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus." And he emphasized the point
that these things were supposed to happen right away. This
was published by John in 91 A.D. and the people of that
time knew that it was Pagan Rome that he was writing about.
Michael commented that in Revelation 9 it talks of these
locusts. He said that these were the hordes that came from
the North, and over a period of years, attacked Rome. He
said they had long hair, which described these people. In 2
Thessalonians 2 Paul speaks in vague terms about the Romans
just as John spoke in cryptic language describing Pagan
Rome.
Michael then jumped to the fall of the Papacy, saying that
the church age is over and this is the age of war. And for
us it has become a new heaven and a new earth. It describes
the city coming down out of heaven, which is the Bride the
Lambs wife, and she has come down from heaven to the earth.
And now we're standing on the wall watching the fire. And
what would bring that fire more than the "change" and the
resurrection of the dead? When they see it happen, and they
see our "happy, holy estate", it causes them to burn in
torment. Anaiah said the reason they burn is that they know
we are not under their power any longer.
Remember again that the Jews were called God's people, yet
they were very corrupt. And so the Christian church during
those thousand years could have easily been compared with
the Jews, full of corruption and idolatry. Yet both of
these groups had the oracles of God.
Ami-el pointed out that in Zechariah 3:3,4 it says, "Now
Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before
the angel. And he answered and spake unto those that stood
before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him.
And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity
to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of
raiment." When Joshua is given new garments, could this be
the same as a new body? And Michael said, "Yes." In verse 9
it says, "I will remove the iniquity of the land in one
day." And it says that we are changed in a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye. He said we'll spend the rest of the
day learning to fly.
Mesha asked the question, “If God is not in the land, does
that mean that He is in the people and out of the land?
Michael answered, "No, He's in you and He is leaving." Then
he went on to say that the blessing is no longer in the
barn.
Esther and Danielle were waiting outside on the north hill
while Michael happened to be praying at the barn Friday
night. And she mentioned to Danielle that she could not go
back to the barn anymore. A short while before 10:30
Danielle went home and changed her clothes, and when she
came out and rejoined Esther they were both wearing all
black. Just about that time, Michael returned and saw these
two dark figures - at least their clothes were dark, but
their faces were bright. Michael had a feeling of an
ominous token when he saw the two of them. They said to
him, "We've come to tuck you in." But he saw that they were
two witnesses - a token - regarding his experience about
the barn. It was commented that it was exactly a year ago
that these same two witnesses had come to him and they were
a token of Father's acceptance of the land. It seemed that
they were now a token of Father's work to bring about the
"change". No more using the earthly temple or church.
Ami-el brought up Isaiah 61 and said something about verse
10 having to do with the change of garments, which he felt
was also a token of the new body. Michael started reading
through the chapter and commented.
1 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because he hath
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath
sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty
to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that
are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD [Michael said
that this is the year of rest - the year of favor], and the
day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
[Michael said he always comforted those who mourned- that
is to say, those who were repentent and feeling their need,
broken and contrite. Always, without exception, he did
that, and still would. He said that he has no judgment
against anyone who has been an enemy. If someone who had
been railing against us showed up mourning over what they
had done he would say, "Oh, it was nothing," and he would
comfort and accept them as though they had never sinned.
And verse 3 and 4 describes what he would do for them.]
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto
them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the
garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they
might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the
LORD, that he might be glorified.
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up
the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste
cities, the desolations of many generations. . .
7 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion
they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their
land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall
be unto them.
8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt
offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will
make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and
their offspring among the people: all that see them shall
acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD
hath blessed. [See Galations 3:16]
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be
joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments
of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of
righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with
ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
[the change]
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the
garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring
forth ; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise
to spring forth before all the nations.
[Michael related this to our "happy, holy estate"]
Salem said that what he felt like in the early days was
that he wished that Michael would have been mean to him so
he could have had reason to be offended. Michael responded,
"Well, I gave you an opportunity. I told you to get a gun
and shoot me." Salem said, "Well, that wasn't what I was
looking for." And Michael said, "Father never faults us for
our feelings. And he found no fault in Salem. He
understands our feelings and He just wants to get us
through them."
Joy described a Mockingbird that she was watching that was
sitting on top of a pole just singing away. Then it would
fly up like it was doing a back flip and land on the pole
and sing some more. It was doing this again and again. It
flew away and came back and did the same thing again. It
seemed to be expressing the joy of our land.
Mesha said something about Father leaving the barn is like
Jesus leaving the Holy Place and entering the Most Holy
Place, which is us. Then Kelitah pointed out a statement
from the Desire of Ages that said Jesus tarried on the
earth to give His disciples a chance to “get used to His
risen and glorified body”.
Michael was talking about the 9th of Av being 45 days after
he started his fast. And the 9th of Av is a symbol of the
destruction of the earthly temple. The human body is an
apostate image of God. Both of the Jewish temples in
Jerusalem were destroyed by fire. Our body temple would be
destroyed by a great Light.
Michael said that the three Witnesses have met a lot
together in his front room, going over things between them,
while he has been along in his bedroom with Father. He said
it was like they were still in the fast for the change, and
now it seems as though the whole land is involved. They
want their consummation of their inheritance.
Michael said that he was responsible for all of it. He did
it on purpose so that we would have no other interests. He
wanted to give a gift to Father, and that was you. This is
what I have done, and I would do it again. Something is
going to happen. All of this activity is not wasted. We
cannot go back.
Gabriel thought that what has been happening here has been
like the "Feast of Booths" (meeting out side under the
sky). We can't go back to meet in the barn. And Michael
said the "Feast of Booths" is about heaven. Ami-el
reflected on the saying, "There are those who are so
heavenly minded they are of no earthly good." We all saw
that to be true. Someone else said that at the Wedding
Feast people are given a wedding garment they don’t make up
their own. It's like our new body is given to us. Michael
said, "And when it all happens, you'll wonder why you ever
resisted it. Father is making you lighter so that you can
fly. It's all my fault. I did it on purpose. And I would do
it again."
Somebody was reflecting about Healed being in love with
Michael, and he said, "That's an act of God. A fifteen year
old girl falling in love with God. I did it on purpose and
I'd do it again. She is Father's forever. And she will be
vindicated soon, along with Tiara and Matthew."
Someone said that the gift that he is giving to Father are
his lambs. Michael said, "Yes, I worked for this for seven
years. It's like we've been leaving "belief" and going into
the life of it, in love with the Spirit. Long ago people
like Jeanne Guyon were put in jail for this. Isn't this a
wonderful day?"
Ruth related a conversation she had with Tiara. It appears
as though Pam and Bill are ready to stop having "church" in
their house. And they are tired of having God in their
house too. Michael told Pam when she was here that, "this
is not going to work out the way you think." Tiara saw very
clearly that Pam does not want them there anymore. They
never took them anywhere, and the other day Bill said,
"When the kids are gone and it's just the two of us again,
we'll go somewhere."
When Joy and Seth went to the doctor regarding her breast
cancer, just to make sure she doesn't have to go through
their requirements when she dies and can just come here and
peacefully die (if that ever happens???). Both of the times
they have been there they have laughed a lot and the doctor
has laughed really hard with them. Seth said something
about the doctor could write a book about them, and Joy
said, "No, we're not that weird." And the doctor said, "Oh
yes you are!"
Ami-el said that the gift that Michael is giving is a gift
to the universe, and to all of those who have died since
creation. And that gift will affect eternity. Michael
agreed, he said everything that we do is for a purpose,
whether we are on our bed or in a chair, under the trees.
It seems like nothing is happening, but a lot is going on
in the Spirit. Gabriel referred to a duck moving across
placid water. But if you were to look underneath his feet
are just going very quickly. It's all beneath the surface.
Over by the porch we were singing, "When He Cometh":
When He cometh, when He cometh
To make up His jewels,
All His jewels, precious jewels,
His loved and His own.
Refrain
Like the stars of the morning,
His brightness adorning,
They shall shine in their beauty,
Bright gems for His crown.
He will gather, He will gather
The gems for His kingdom;
All the pure ones, all the bright ones,
His loved and His own.
Little children, little children,
Who love their Redeemer,
Are the jewels, precious jewels,
His loved and His own.
Afterward Michael again said something about the Son
working out a plan (of salvation) and it worked, He will ot
fail.
