FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE serving Holy Communion at The Unity Mission Church, Philadelphia, PA.

Truly, the LORD Reigneth! This is that great day of His Power, and HE has brought all things into subjection to HIM to do as HE Wills for the great establishment and upbuilding of His Kingdom on earth among men. It is written that in the Day of the LORD it would burn like an oven, and truly, this is that Day -- the great Atomic Age.

When the two Atomic Bombs were dropped in Japan, it was said it burned like an oven, and the only Controller of such Energy is GOD Almighty Himself. But the Omniscience of GOD did not inspire mankind with such an invention to be used destructively, but it shall be used constructively for the establishment and betterment of humanity generally and for the stabilizing of that long-sought-for lasting PEACE on Earth and Good Will toward men.

Read this profound Sermon and get first-hand information of how GOD Almighty, FATHER DIVINE, is working scientifically in the affairs of men and harnessing the energy of all mankind that all might have Life, Liberty and Happiness more abundantly.

Thank YOU, Almighty GOD!

(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and the following is the inspirational composition sung just before FATHER arose to speak:)

A Nation is rising rich in the Virtues
Of Americanism rebirthed by GOD!
Rich in Honesty, Brotherhood and Peace,
Where a man is a man and not a color, creed or race!
A people charged with the current of Justice,
That has changed the tide of governmental affairs,
A Righteous Nation under FATHER DIVINE is rising,
Electrifying the atmosphere!


(FATHER Speaks as follows:)

PEACE EVERYONE! Here we all are again, One in all and all in One; E PLURIBUS UNUM I COME!

At this particular instance I have arisen to just stress the fact that truly a Nation is rising! Every last one of you have heard the quotation and reiterated the quotation, no doubt, that this nation under GOD might have a New Birth of Freedom. I CAME TO GIVE YOU THAT FREEDOM! Aren't you glad!

It is a privilege to realize, as in the prophecy in the prophetic age, so in the fulfilling of the Scripture as it was predicted. The fulfillment of the Scripture is the repetition of the history, the Biblical history, and as the history repeats herself and you are in the making and in the fulfillment of it, you can see that which was predicted is now fulfilled this day in your hearing!

This is the kind of world in which you would like to live -- a world where there is no graft and no greed, a world where there is no dishonesty, a world where there is no incompetence and untruth, a world where there is Brotherhood, Democracy and the Golden Rule exemplified and enacted in every activity! This is the abstract expression as to what you can see just now! It is a sketch and a reflection of a percent of a fraction of a grain of what I AM Actually doing Universally! But the sketches and the reflections bear witness of the Truth concerning the Reality and concerning the thing that has actually been and yet it is to be fulfilled!

For this cause you should rejoice and be glad because I AM HERE! I CAME to break that line of demarcation and bring an abolition to segregation, to discrimination and to the discriminatory practices of men and Unite them as I AM -- E PLURIBUS UNUM! That is the way I was to COME and that is the way I CAME! Actually Unifying the children of men and having harnessed the energy of them before by inspiration I transmitted it to science and invention to harness the energy commonly known as the Atomic Energy! Aren't you glad!

When I harnessed the energy and the mentality of humanity, I harnessed their energy and by it I transmitted to science and invention the skill and the ability by their awakened and quickened energy within humanity, the skill to seek and find that Atomic Energy and invent it as being termed the Atomic Energy invented, and brought this world into a new era -- into a new age! No longer the machine age, but now it is commonly known as the Atomic Age!

But firstly I harnessed the mentality and the energy of the mentality of humanity! I awakened science and invention by the harnessing of the mentality of humanity and it spoke in science and invention and brought out the invention of the Atomic Energy into shape and form, commonly known as the ATOMIC BOMB!

I move in you scientifically, mentally and spiritually and I move your energy and your mentality scientifically and I control you supernaturally and cause you to move physically as well as psychologically! Your energy has been harnessed! I have split that Atom in humanity! I have awakened humanity's energy! That is why you move volitionally when you think on ME vividly! Aren't you glad!

If you have ever been truly awakened by the recognition of GOD'S Actual Presence, when you think on ME vividly, conscientiously and sincerely you will move volitionally! I have harnessed the energy of humanity and I have cracked, yea, I have split that Atom! You have heard ME say in all of My letters of correspondence: ". . . and even in every ATOM, fibre and cell of MY BODILY FORM!"

I AM splitting Atoms and I AM awakening the dead cells in humanity! I AM causing them to move volitionally and speak scientifically and by science and invention I AM bringing out many new inventions that have never been thought of since the world began! By this, you shall know a Nation is rising, rich in Virtue, in Brotherhood and in Peace! Aren't you glad!

I have harnessed the silent and dormant energy and virtue and all of your virginity that is lying dormant within you! I have awakened it and released it for service to GOD and to Humanity! Therefore, the virtues of GOD transmitted as in you they are reincarnated, I cause you to move and speak volitionally but express scientifically -- virtue and the virginity of your Savior! That is what I AM talking about!

You have heard them say in the time of the late World War: "Get behind the man that is behind the gun!"

But I AM behind the man that is behind the invention, for I inspired it by the transmitted energy of the true and the faithful and I did not give it to him by blood plasma! Aren't you glad! Many of you donated your blood for blood plasma to save the lives of humanity, but you have donated something bigger, better and greater, for you have donated your energy and virginity!

By this, they are awakening! They are arising, rich in Virtue, in Brotherhood and in Peace because I have transmitted the donated energy from all humanity, the energy that I have harnessed within you, and by it I inspire science with the invention of the discovery and the invention of the Atomic Energy!

Can you not see there are those of you with whom I have to do, move volitionally beyond your personal control, because GOD has All Power and has actually awakened that dormant energy within you! One invented electricity. That was a great invention, but a greater than the inventor of electricity is here! And greater than the inventor of the Atomic Bomb and its energy is here! In every Atom I AM calling them forth to bring them into subjection to Righteousness, to Truth and Justice (Can you not see the mystery?) that Government by the People, through the People and for the People might not perish!

When this is exemplified and universalized and universally realized and personified, the last enemy that was to be conquered shall be conquered, and that is death! The energy within you awakens when that Atom is split effectively. It is stronger and greater than death! With the awakened, yea, the split Atom of your being within and that quickened scientifically with the recognition of GOD'S Presence mentally and spiritually, you will have Victory over death and you will be immune to it and can live forever and not die!

What a privilege! What a privilege! What a privilege to live in such recognition and to build upon such a foundation as this one, where GOD is controlling His people by the splitting of the Atom within! You feel good, too! Every time an Atom is awakened or split or quickened, it radiates as well as penetrates your whole physical system and you move volitionally! You are in a new bright world!

Therefore, think not to say within yourself that science and the geniuses of the mechanical world and the world of science have past the stage of the ONE that gave it! If GOD could give science and the geniuses of science and invention the skill and the ability to bring out such inventions, just know GOD can also control both science and invention and everything they have invented!

Then once again, I say as I said in the days of old:

'Fear not, little flock, it is your FATHER'S good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.'


What said David in his Psalmic prediction?

'The LORD reigneth!'

It was declaration from a psychological point of view, but for those to whom it was not made real, it was a prediction in the which we are now in the fulfilling as he was in the making. Aren't you glad! Therefore, THE LORD TRULY REIGNETH! "Clouds and darkness are round about HIM, the earth saw and trembled."

THEY CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT! Some say, "How is it some say He is GOD and HE looks like a man?"

'The LORD reigneth! Righteousness and Judgment are the habitation of HIS THRONE!'


Where have you ever seen any such Righteousness before? Where have you ever seen such Judgment before? Aren't you glad! Light is shown for the righteous and gladness for the upright in heart! Aren't you glad! Therefore, I HAVE made you glad! I HAVE given you light as Righteousness and I HAVE given you gladness -- those who are upright in heart! That is why you are so glad! I heard you say, "I am so glad!"

Righteousness, I AM talking about! "Righteousness exalteth a nation, while sin is a reproach to any people."

Have you not read of the reproaches of Japan and Italy? And you do not see the exaltation of this people under this jurisdiction? Righteousness exalteth the Nation, and truly a Nation is rising, rich in Virtue, in Brotherhood and in Peace! You have never seen such Brotherhood exemplified as this! You have never seen such Virtue exemplified, as materialized and as personified in these! Aren't you glad!

Then I say, Serve the LORD with gladness, because you are glad! Enter His Courts with Thanksgiving and in His Presence with Praise! By this, you will have Victory over the common enemy -- external enemy -- and you will also have Victory over the internal enemy, all of your preconceived ideas and opinions that are detrimental, and you will rise and walk in the Newness of Life where a man is a man and not a color, creed, nor a race!

Just get in the atmosphere! Just such an atmosphere as this, you feel New! You feel different because you are not living in matter and materialism! You do not feel the atmosphere of materialism, mortality and immorality, but you feel the atmosphere of VIRTUE -- the Virginity of Mary and the Holiness of JESUS! Such an atmosphere lifts you above all of those hereditive tendencies, fancies and pleasures, and it gives you a new lease on life once and forever, so that you might live forever and forever! I thank you.
