Washington D.C.
I am here, Luke.
I come to tell you that you must not doubt that Swedenborg
wrote to you, and what you wrote, or rather, received, in answer
to your questions, he actually wrote. We are all desirous that he
shall write you on the subjects that he has expressed a desire to
write upon, for many of the teachings and doctrines that are contained
in his earthly writings are erroneous and must be corrected, for
they are being studied and believed in by many mortals, and all
to their leading away from the truth.
The one great error or untruth that must be corrected is his teaching,
that Jesus is God. This is blasphemous and abhorrent to all the
angelic spirits, and more so to the Master than to any other, and
for the correction of this, Swedenborg must write. Well, I will
not write more tonight, except to say this, that another anniversary
of the resurrection of the Master, as it is believed, has come,
and men are worshipping Jesus as God, and sending their praises
and thanks to him as the great redeemer of the world by his death
and "resurrection", while as you know, his death had very little
to do with that redemption, and his resurrection was not the resurrection
that he taught could be the experience and possession of all mankind.
It is pitiable and destructive to the truth for men to believe
and teach that the mere resurrection of the spirit from the body
is the resurrection that Jesus came to teach and demonstrate; and
when we see each year the repetition of the observance of the anniversary
of this rising of Jesus from his physical body, and all the false
beliefs and teachings, we realize more and more the necessity for
our truths being made known to the world.
So you must work harder and pray to the Father to increase your
soul development so that our messages may be more rapidly received.
Remember what John said a few nights ago and believe, for the promises
then made will soon be realized by you. I will come soon and write
a message.
With my love and great desire that we become closer in our rapport
and more expedient in our work, I will say good night.
Your brother in Christ,
Luke
