UNTO all men, through my servant, this message of the Lord.

The earth shall quake and that which is built shall fall down and many men shall die therefrom. Yet I, The Lord, shall not do these things.

Storms and strange weather shall destroy the harvests and men shall be smitten and die therefrom. Yet I, The Lord, shall not do these things, though men shall say I do.

Pestilences and famines shall stalk through the nations, and men shall be smitten with suffering and death. Though men shall say that this is My work, yet I, The Lord, shall not do these things.

Wars shall come and the cities of the nations shall fall. Men shall slay one another in multitudes and commit nameless crimes. Yet I, The Lord, shall not do these things, though men shall say that it is My judgment.

Churches, nations, customs, laws and institutions shall collapse and the old landmarks shall be removed. Men shall be lost and shall faint, for perplexity and fear shall rule them, and they shall destroy themselves. Yet I declare again unto you that I, The Lord, do not these things.

For these things are but the harvest of men’s sins and the penalties of disobedience to the Law. And I, The Lord, declare unto you that you yourselves cause and shall do these evil and destructive things, reaping even as you have sown—for evil must destroy evil. 

And after these things have come to pass, and those of you that remain shall return unto Me, and you have proved faithful, your woes shall seem as nothing when you receive the good things I shall give you.

For, I shall remove all your limitations and heal all your ills, and you shall receive knowledge and wisdom. You shall renew your youth and unto you then shall be given full and running over all the perfect gifts reserved for them who love the Lord.

Therefore, take heed unto yourselves; for if you depart from Me, then shall you sin and stray into strange paths that lead to death; for I say unto you that none is wise enough of himself to do without divine guidance.

But unto him who turns to Me for counsel, I will lead him into Everlasting Life; and unto him who loves the Lord, shall I give the things his heart desires. That is also the law.

See to it then that you love your fellowman as yourself, and that you deal justly with him; for even as you do unto your brother, shall it be counted that you have done it unto Me.

Behold, and take heed that you watch and pray, for at an hour that no man knoweth, even at the very time that many shall mock saying, “Where is the Master you call upon?” Even at the very moment when they are at the height of their merriment, they shall see the glory of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they shall tremble and seek to hide themselves; for then shall they know that their day is done. They shall go down in their folly and evil to rise no more.

But unto you who endure steadfastly, shall He come to make all things new. He shall establish a kingdom that shall endure forever. In His kingdom there shall be no more hunger, nor shall there be unjust judgment, nor anything that maketh this earth a house of affliction as you see it now. I say unto you that He shall surely come again.

Therefore, when you see the end of sorrows, and the evil things come no more; when you see the end of evil and suffering in this present world, then you shall know that the hand of the Lord is in this, and it is the will of the Lord to establish perfection made perfect.

And when you see all these things come to pass, you shall know that these are the true works of The Lord, your God, and His son Christ Jesus, for it is the Plan of your Father in Heaven, and in that day you shall know for a truth that it is I, The Lord, who do all these good things.

Therefore, again I say unto you, “Watch and pray unceasingly,” for The Lord hath not forgotten the faithful, and He cometh quickly. See you to it that you sleep not.

The coming of the Dawn is at hand. It shall surely come to pass. Be ye strong and faint not.

In that day you shall realize the measure of the Love that is borne for you by the great Son of Righteousness who shall rise with healing on His wings. You shall be as in a dream for very happiness at the wonderful things he shall bestow upon you.
