ON THE MYSTERY OF THE WICKED ONE
XIV

     Children of God Who Expose the Antichrist by the Mother Flame,

     John the Baptist was confronted by the Pharisees and Sadducees,1 who came in their cunning to be baptized of him. They desired the initiation of the Light but would not give obedience to that Light. Lifetime after lifetime they had rebelled against the Law - they who had been cast out of heaven with Lucifer by Archangel Michael and the hosts of the LORD.

     They knew all too well that with the coming of the Son of man in the Person of the Son of God the final judgment would be upon them.2 But in the meantime, for thousands of years and thousands of rounds on the karmic wheel of rebirth they had learned to use the light and to abuse the light without giving answer to the Word incarnate.

     Now his time had come and his herald was before him, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah as the voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare ye the way of the LORD! Make straight the paths of the descent of the Son Jesus Christ, who has come into his temple to judge the twelve tribes of Israel3 and to initiate the loving, the obedient, the humble servant-sons in the Personhood of their own Christ Self!"

     And the people of Jerusalem and Judaea and the region of Jordan went to receive the initiation of the baptism - the confessing and the cleansing of sin in Jordan.4 And there followed them the seed of the Wicked One - now the murderers of the prophets, now the imitators of the prophets. For so long had they grown accustomed to deceiving and being self-deceived, regaling in the absence of the LORD's anointed, that they did not figure on the God-power of the reincarnated Elijah, great Guru of Elisha, who had "come again" as the messenger of the Promised One.5

     Note, O chelas of the prophets holding the line of Light against the Darkness mounting in the twentieth to the twenty-first centuries, note well the difference in the action of the impersonal and the personal Law. The sacred fire that proceeded out of the mouth of John the Baptist was the denunciation of personalized Evil, embodied Evil, by the Person of Absolute Good, the Person of God.

     Before all of the multitude gathered at Jordan, he told them who they were: a "generation of vipers," the offspring of the Serpent. He exposed them as the fallen angels who fell from grace and from serving as ministers of fire6 on the right hand of God with his Christ. Cast out of heaven, they would soon be cast out of earth by the blazing light of the Son of God.7

     Now they sought not to amend their ways, not to reconsider and to confess that living Christ. No indeed, they sought to steal the light of the prophet by posing as children of God. He knew that they were trembling before the oncoming Light and that "the wrath to come" would be the light of Alpha and Omega dwelling bodily in the incarnate Word as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.8

     John the Baptist wore the mantle of the Lamb, the same mantle he had worn as Elijah, denoting the office in hierarchy that carries the authority of the Word and the judgment of God. He had been his messenger then unto all of Israel, and he was his messenger reincarnated.

     He demanded of the Pharisees and Sadducees "fruits meet for repentance,"9 good works on the ledger of life, a record of good karma that would compensate for bad karma and therefore be the necessary and acceptable offering unto the Guru, a token expression of allegiance unto the Law whereby the Law might then increase the light of the supplicant. But they had not the good works meet for repentance, for their works were done in evil.

     What is Evil, what is Good? The good work is the work done to the glory of the I AM THAT I AM in love, unselfed love, purest love for the Person of the Son. And no other work will count for grace except that work that is done to exalt the Most High in the lowly places of the earth and in the lowliest hearts of men.

     The evil work is the misqualification (mist-qualification, hence illusion10) of the light of the Trinity and the Mother manifesting as the substance of sin, causing the soul to be out of alignment with the inner blueprint of the Logos - the image and likeness of God - the I AM THAT I AM out of which the soul was created and in which it will now be re-created first by water of John, then by fire of Jesus.11

     He told them not to rely upon their supposed ancestral origins in Abraham,12 for they themselves had sinned (made karma through disobedience to the Lawgiver and the Law) and they would bear the burden of that sin (karma). And they would not be allowed to place that burden then or now, my beloved, upon the sons of God. He knew they were not of the seed (the Christ image) of Abraham, even as Jesus Christ would declare:

     "If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the Truth, which I have heard of God; this did not Abraham.

     "Ye do the deeds of your father ... If God were your Father, ye would love me; for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

     "Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word.

     "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar and the father of it."13

     My beloved, heed, O heed the warning of John and Jesus: He who loves not the Christ in the Father's incarnate servant-sons, in those whom he has anointed with the gifts and graces of the Holy Ghost, cannot be of the seed of Christ; therefore he is the seed of the Devil - the offspring of the Evil One, that Lucifer who first deified Evil and then became the personification, or personhood, of that deified energy veil.

     John the Baptist set aside the law of human heredity and human genealogies as capable of transmitting the Christ mind, declaring that God is able of these `stones' - the common genes of the common people - to raise up true children unto Abraham's Christ consciousness of God the Father.14

     The child is neither good nor evil because of his parents, but because the Lord God has endowed him with a threefold flame that burns on the altar of the heart and with the gift of free will which the child has used justly, wisely, and well in previous lifetimes.

     The ax that is laid unto the root of the trees15 is the ax of the Law wielded by the Person of the Lamb incarnate. The tree is the symbol of individuality, male and female. In the son, the daughter of God, the Tree of Life does manifest the fruit of good works within its branches, ring upon ring of the causal body. And the tree trunk is the Christ Self through whom the soul is rooted in the bedrock of Reality, nourished from below by the currents of Mother Earth as from above by the Spirit currents of the Father.

     But the seed of the Wicked One have been cut off from the I AM THAT I AM. They are without causal body, without rings of fire, without the Christ Self or the root of knowledge in the Law of the Word. When the all-seeing eye of God scans their auric field in Spirit and in Matter, in Alpha and Omega, and reveals not the good fruit of works in the Holy Ghost, therefore through the Person of the Son of God the ax of the Law is laid unto the cause and core of error, and Truth herself in the Person of the sacred fire hews down and casts that fruitless tree into the vortex of all-consuming Love.16

     No wonder the Pharisees and Sadducees conspired with the council of the Sanhedrin to put Jesus to death after the soul of Elijah had come in the Person of John and they had refused to acknowledge his authority or to witness unto his light but had done unto him whatsoever they listed.17 For John had told them that the Christ would come with fan in hand to throughly purge his floor and to gather his wheat, the children of God, into the garner. He exposed them as the chaff and told them that the Lord Jesus Christ would burn that chaff with unquenchable fire - Spirit fire, Alpha/Omega fire.18

     Who are the Pharisees and Sadducees, then and now? By now you should have guessed, my beloved. They are the left and the right, the plus and the minus, of human good and evil. Assuming their positions, pretending to be in opposition to each other, they merely polarize the misqualified substance of the energy veil to suit their purposes which are always to deny the validity of God-Good in the One whom He hath sent and in the ones chosen by God to believe on the One Sent and to anchor the light of his Spirit in the planes of Matter.

     The messenger then and now is the One Sent and the believers are those who sustain the light of the Spirit in the souls of humanity through the blessed Mediator personified in the anointed messenger.

     Every believer is an electrode of the light of those who have reunited with the Spirit of the I AM THAT I AM - the ascended masters. Every believer is a disciplined one of the Master's Presence, the unascended chela of the Guru ascended. But he that denieth before men the messenger of the Word (who is as a shaft of light leading unto the Greater Light) shall be denied before the angels of God19 - shall be denied the collective Christ consciousness of the ascended masters, the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood.

     Thus the chela's affirmation or denial of the messenger of the gurus determines his relationship to the gurus; likewise he who denies the Christ in the chela also denies the gurus and their messenger. And the chain of being, Alpha to Omega, throughout rings upon rings of the gurus and their chelas, is one universal order of Life. He who breaks a single link in the chain breaks the whole chain even as he who offends in one point of the Law is guilty of all.20

     John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ came to affirm the hierarchy of heaven, the hosts of the LORD of whom they were a part and whose representatives they were. They were the One Sent to awaken the embodied children of God to their opportunity to be joint-heirs of the Christ consciousness which they bore. And all who would accept that opportunity would become as they were - disciples of the Ancient of Days - bearers of the Holy Grail.

     It is the intimacy, the unspeakable love of this Guru-chela relationship of which the Sadducees and Pharisees were envious - the estate of the Son sitting on the right hand of the Father which they had lost through pride and ambition. But they would not relent, they would not repent, they would not confess the Light which they both saw and feared in the LORD's anointed. For if they should bear witness, the children of God should be converted to their origin in the same Light, and the Sadducees and Pharisees would lose their control over the people both in the synagogue and under the rulers of the Gentile nations.

     "Show us a sign! show us a sign! show us a sign from heaven!" they cry in the marketplaces, taunting, even tempting the Son of God to come down21 from the throne in Spirit and deal with them in their forcefield which they have arranged in the yin and yang of Matter in order to arraign the souls of light. But no sign will ever suffice these fallen ones, neither the abundant testimony of the angels and their evangels - the ascended masters and their messengers and chelas - nor the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the saints East and West, nor the witness of their own prophets.

     Not the miracles of Elijah and Elisha22 come again in John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ. No, not the ascension of Elijah in a chariot of fire or the smoting of the waters of Jordan by his servant-son Elisha.23 Not the sign of Horeb's height or Sinai, the tablets of the law or the miracles of Moses midst the Egyptians.24 Neither Words nor Works nor vibrations from the Upper Room where the Lord is gathered with his disciples for forty days or forty years or forty centuries.25

     He healed the sick, he cleansed the lepers, he raised the dead, cast out devils and rebuked the blind leaders of the blind and continues to do so through his embodied servants.26 But though they witness unto the truth forever and a day, those Pharisees and Sadducees will not receive a sign - not from heaven, not from earth!

     They demand a sign of God the Father only to tempt the Son: "Command these stones be made bread" was the Devil's plea for the sign of phenomena in his attempt to cause Jesus to abrogate the covenant twixt Father and Son.27 In this manner even the children of Israel, themselves tempted of the fallen ones, chided with Moses to tempt the LORD, murmuring against him, almost ready to stone him. And the LORD bade Moses to strike the rock because the people tempted the LORD.28

     Nevertheless, Moses himself bore the karma of his rebellion against God's commandment in the desert of Zin. For he allowed his anger to be aroused by the strife of the congregation and willfully sought to sanctify the LORD before their eyes which it is not lawful for a messenger of God to do. Even so, the water came forth from the rock and it, too, was the sign denied.29

     Always disputing, always denying, the Sadducees remain the spoilers midst every generation of lightbearers. Their doctrine is a doctrine of denial. They are the religious rationalists of then and now. Do you think, little children, that they really disbelieve in the angels and the spirits of God, who are the ascended masters? Do you think they really disbelieve in the miracles of the Anointed One? Do you think they really dispute the law and the spirit of the resurrection?

     Now learn of an archangel, for the children of God must become "wise as serpents and harmless as doves."30 They are the wise serpents. They once formed a ring of fire around the Central Sun. They knew God face to face and they rebelled against the Law of the One, the Law of Love. They knew and know the angels, for they themselves are fallen angels. They tremble before the ascended masters and their messengers, and they know that only the miracles of God are able to thwart their conspiracy of Absolute Evil pitted against Absolute Good appearing as relative good and evil.

     They have seen the resurrection - oh yes, they have! They have seen the spiraling of sons and daughters of God back to the Great Central Sun, back to the heart of Helios and Vesta. But all this they deny. They are the deniers of Superconscious Being (one's own Higher Consciousness - the Mighty I AM Presence sealed in the successive rings of the God Consciousness of the causal body) and of the eternal existence of the soul before and after the finite span of birth and death in time and space.

     Operating midst certain councils of the elders, of the Sanhedrin and the priesthood, the Sadducees are one with them in vibration - one and the same, and their beginnings and their endings are the same - the same death spiral that began when they denounced the Lord God Almighty and his hosts as the legitimate hierarchy of the Spirit/Matter cosmos.

     Their priesthood is the anti-priesthood, the counterfeit of the order of Melchizedek.31 Knowing as they know the inner Law of the great Three-in-One, they know that the knowledge of the Law will be the liberation of souls throughout the Matter sphere and that with that liberation will come their own ultimate end, the second death of the fallen ones in the final judgment before the Court of the Sacred Fire on Sirius.

     They are not the Jews of today as you know them, but they have invaded the synagogues of the Jews even as they have invaded the Catholic church, the Jesuit order, the Protestant churches, and the mosques of Islam; and their seed has penetrated all of the races of the earth. Saying they are Jews or followers of Christ or those who come in the name of Allah, they are still of the synagogue of Satan.32 By their fruits (their vibration and their soulless eyes) ye shall know them!

     They carry neither the affirmation of the Word nor the adoration of the Woman clothed with the Sun. From their lips pass not the Our Father nor the Hail Mary. The Mother of Christ is anathema to them, for she is Creator in Matter even as God the Father is Creator in Spirit.

     They are the protesters; with the descendants of the Pharisees, the offspring of the Sadducees go about protesting this and that in church and state, inciting the people in mass demonstrations and ignorant denunciations of the living Word. In the time of Jesus, the Sadducees were noted for their material wealth and their spiritual poverty. Reincarnated today, they assume every convenient stance as social or religious reformers, even mouthing the teachings of the Great Teacher while busily, nefariously, and secretively codifying the anti-teaching as the laws of church and state.

     Enter the fundamentalist Jews, Christians, and Moslems as the legalists of the decade! They follow the tradition of the scribes and the Pharisees. They would sit in Moses' seat.33 They would seize the power and the authority of the Law and the Lawgiver. They would bind the children of the light with their religious custom; but their fanaticism, their anger, their holy terror and their hatred in the presence of all who have the Holy Ghost exposes them as spots in their feasts of charity.34

     "Woe unto them! For they have gone in the way of Cain," believing in a God and in a religion after their own will, who have never known the true redemption of both the Body and the Blood of Christ. And they have run "greedily after the error of Balaam for reward," who, acting in the name of God, would curse God's children who have sinned instead of extending to them the chastening of his intense love and the call unto that repentance which is the return to the Law and the Grace of God through the atonement that becomes the at-one-ment with the resurrected Christ. These are they which "perished in the gainsaying of Core," denying the authority of Moses as God's chosen spokesman and intruding themselves blatantly into the office of the priesthood of the Levites.35

     The fanaticism displayed by these modernized cults of the scribes and Pharisees is always present when the Law is denuded of both the Person and the Principle of the Holy Ghost. Little children, observe! Where there is violence, there in the midst of the people are the seed of the Wicked One, the violent ones inciting them to denounce their faith and their hope in the Person of Charity who is always present in the true shepherds of the people.

     Ponder my wisdom, for it is the wisdom of the universal Father and the universal Mother. Then know yourself as the offspring of that Wisdom and be the harmless doves of their twin flames of the Spirit.

     I AM

GABRIEL

     I ANNOUNCE TO YOU

     THE LORD'S DENUNCIATION

     IN YOUR VERY MIDST

Volume 22, Number 8, footnote 1. Matthew 3:7. The Pharisees were one of the chief Jewish religious sects during the last two centuries b.c. and the first two centuries a.d. Their name means "separated ones," probably indicating their desire to remain apart from all that was "unclean" and from those who did not follow them in the strict observance of the Law. During Jesus' time, the priests, laity, and almost all the scribes (scholars devoted to the preservation, transcription, and exposition of the Law, often serving as teachers and lawyers) were Pharisees. As the chief interpreters of the Torah (Law), the Pharisees were greatly respected by the people. They led an austere life dedicated to obeying every detail of the Law as spelled out in the "tradition of the elders." This extensive oral tradition, developed over the centuries by the rabbis to explain the written Law of Moses, governed everything from Sabbath regulations to diet, fasting, and the minutest facets of ritual worship. The Pharisees did not view this growing body of religious interpretation as a departure from the Law but as the unfolding of the full revelation of God through an unwritten tradition they claimed had existed since Moses' time. Eventually, however, their legalistic interpretations became more important than the Law itself, and they looked with scorn upon those who did not measure up to the standards set by the rabbis. Thus Jesus denounced the worst of the Pharisees for their self-righteous hypocrisy and attachment to petty tradition. Some of the Pharisees, however, were sincerely devoted men; Nicodemus, Gamaliel, and the Apostle Paul are prominent New Testament figures who were Pharisees (John 3:1; 7:50; 19:39; Acts 5:34; 23:6; 26:5; Philippians 3:5). The Pharisees believed in a coming Messiah, the existence of angels and demons, resurrection after death for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked. Some scholars feel that the Pharisees' ability to adapt the written Law to changing needs and conditions is what kept Judaism a living religion. Unlike the Sadducees, whose power centered around the Temple, the Pharisees survived the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple in 70 a.d. Their ideas and methods, later codified in the Talmud, have influenced Judaism to the present day. The Sadducees were the chief opponents of the Pharisees. Their name is probably derived from "Zadokites," the priestly descendants of Zadok (high priest of Solomon). The Sadducees belonged to the aristocratic, wealthy class and held the highest offices in church and state. They controlled the temple priesthood and were influential in the highest judicial and religious council, the Sanhedrin, along with the Pharisees. Caiaphas, the high priest who played a key role in Jesus' crucifixion, belonged to this sect. As conservatives who wished to preserve the status quo, the Sadducees had a common-sense outlook based on political realities. Their cooperation with the Roman authorities (who appointed the high priest) gained them political influence but made them unpopular with the people. The Sadducees accepted only the authority of the written Mosaic Law and rejected the vast body of oral tradition espoused by the Pharisees. They also rejected the Pharisees' belief in angels as well as their doctrines of the resurrection and final judgment, claiming they were not based on the Pentateuch.
