I am here, Elias.
I was the prophet of old and now I am an inhabitant of the Celestial
Heaven and an immortal child of the Father. I have been present
on several occasions when the high spirits were writing to you,
and have been much interested in the work which they are doing and
in the work which you are doing, for you are doing a wonderful work
in helping the dark spirits of suffering, and in bringing these
spirits in close communion with the higher spirits who can show
them the way to the Father's Love.
I would like to write you a long message tonight upon the history
of the times in which I lived, and the knowledge that we, who were
looked upon and written about as prophets, had as to the relationship
between God and man; and what some of our experiences were with
the spirits of the heavens who came to us and communicated some
of the truths of the Father. And I will say, in all our knowledge
of truth, we never understood what the Divine Love of the Father
was as distinguished from the love that He bestowed on all men irrespective
of their seeking for His Love, and irrespective of the fact that
they were sinful and disobedient to His commands. As I now know
we could not have understood what this Divine Love meant, or ever
have possessed it, for in my time and until the coming of Jesus,
the privilege of men receiving it did not exist. The Father had
withdrawn this privilege from humanity.
But we did receive spiritual knowledge of those things that would
make man better in his moral nature, and bring him closer to the
Father in his natural love; and our efforts were directed towards
making the people understand these things and the necessity of complying
with the moral laws.
As I said, I should like to write you a long message, but there
is another present who desires to write and I will stop. But
I will come soon and deliver my message, and in the meantime I will
pray for you and try to help you in your soul development and in
your work. With all my love and blessings I will say good night.
Your brother in Christ,
Elias
