FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE
That the first-born among many brethren, Jesus the CHRIST, was not known to be a man child until the time of consecration and the circumcision, is just one of the many mysteries unknown to men up until this day when our Savior, FATHER DIVINE, revealed it in a deep and stirring message
Also not understood by mankind until explained by HIM in this same lecture, is the distinction between the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, and the Eternal Father, the King of Peace.
No one but the author and finisher Himself could give this understanding to the children of men, for HE is HIS Own interpreter, and HE will make all things plain to those who keep their minds open and receptive to HIS truths.
Holy Father, we thank You for these priceless gems from Your omniscience!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and FATHER'S beautiful lecture follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! Good health, good will and a good appetite with good manners < good behavior, all success and all prosperity, peace, joy and happiness, life, love, and liberty! All of these I AM freely bringing and causing you as individuals to become to be partakers of them.
That which I speak into consideration, I cause you to reincarnate them. Eventually mankind will become to be the universal personification of GOD. As CHRIST the great love master as an individual, was the individual Personification of GOD, He was the first-born among many brethren; others will copy after the fashion He has shown them and will eventually become to be the re-materializers and the re-personifiers of that which has actually been personified. Therefore, I have spoken into actuality that of which I AM, realizing that of which MY followers are realizing universally.
Life, liberty and the reality of happiness, peace, success < and all prosperity and every other good and desirable blessing, I AM bringing both it and them into outer expression, for the word was made flesh and dwells among us! I shall make a living reality out of every suppositional version of man. That suppositional version of men, even though it be not King James' Version, I will bring it into actuality, if it is the conviction of a consecrated and true converted soul. Aren't you glad!
That which comes from the heart and from the soul of an individual, when it comes with the spirit of sincerity and the individual is conscientious and sincere in all of his words, deeds or actions, the very reproduction of such a contagion will be a living reality as others reincarnate it and re personify it.
Remember, that which is, was; and that which was, yet is to be! Aren't you glad! There is nothing new under the sun. Hence, by the condescension of GOD, in love and mercy, CHRIST and GOD HIMSELF have truly come, coming to the conscious recognition and the realization of the children of men, and as I lift this recognition in the conscious mentality of them, they become to be the reproducers of the identical expression of that which I AM stressing. That is the mystery.
As the first-born among many brethren, CHRIST came as a sample and as an example for them to let them see and know that the good could be reproduced and repersonified as will as the evil. The evil has been reproduced and reincarnated over and over again. If the evil or the negative could be reproduced and reincarnated and personified over and over again, giving the evil millions of bodies, how about HIM? How about the good , how about the positive instead of the negative?
Men have striven to give the negative, the undesirable, the evil, the wicked, bodies continually. They have produced them and given those undesirable expressions bodies even until now and will declare to the world at large the "other fellow" is walking around on the earth. But as a whole, theoretically and nationally, intellectually, they will not declare that GOD is walking around on the earth. They have striven to keep GOD weaved, or woven, whichever, in misunderstanding, whereby in their superstition GOD will never be a living reality, but GOD, through HIS condescension, in love and mercy came to teach you wisdom concerning the mystery, that GOD is a reality and the negative, the "other fellow" is not a reality it is only the lack of understanding.
When you fill every seeming avenue and every seeming vacant space in your mentality with the recognition and the realization of the positive, there will not be any place nor space within you for the negative, That is the mystery. Take these thought to consideration.
Then I say, it is a privilege to be here. Whilst I looked and beheld, I desired to say, I will re-say again, it is a blessing to be here. As with the juniors, as they are called, so with the seniors in our Righteous Government Department. If you will reckon yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin and alive unto Jesus Christ your Lord, the reproduction of the nature and disposition of your Savior will be a living reality; for all of these qualities, attributes and characteristics are impersonal!
They are as much for you as a person as they were for Jesus, your Lord and your Savior, the first-born among many brethren. Then as it was depicted in the message as read that was given to the Junior Righteous Government Department in their assembly a few weeks ago, even so it is
Unto us a Child is born; unto us a Son is given.
GOD was called a Child! GOD HIMSELF was called Jesus, the Son of GOD. It was the same One, but coming in the name of a child and a son:
'Unto us a Child is born.'
When it developed that they understood the mystery about the time of consecration, about the time for circumcision, they found out He was a Son. They said
'....a Son is given.'
When it was first born, no doubt, they wondered if it was a son. They knew it was a child that had been born, but they sought diligently within themselves for a son the he might be the Ruler of all creation; but to them according to their version, it was understood firstly by the Jews; hence
'Unto us a Child is born.'
This child , as the prophet saw it in his prediction, he observed the mystery that a child had been born; but until about the time of the consecration and the circumcision, it was not known definitely whether He was a girl child or a man child. But it developed that they found out that it was a son that was born. Then they marveled at the mystery at the time of the circumcision < at the time of the consecration.
Oh, it is a privilege to observe the mystery. It was a son that was given. Now they found out
'He shall be called wonderful, counselor, mighty God'
and the government is upon HIS shoulder. Can you not see the mystery? And from thence on to the Prince of Peace, and the next degree understood and observed that had not yet been revealed scripturally, was the King of Peace in that particular scripture. It had not been revealed scripturally in that particular scripture, that this last and eternal degree of that Son, that Child that was born, they found out to be a son at the time of the consecration and at the time of the circumcision, they did not know definitely that He would be called the King of Peace; but they observed it so far as to the degree that He would be called and Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace, as though there was One above Him. For He was born, but He grew up to be a Father, yet it held Him in the consideration of the people as though He had a Father; therefore He was the Prince of Peace in the prediction and according to the scripture.
This was not revealed in the scripture there, that He was the Eternal Father! They thought Him to be an Everlasting Father and a Prince of Peace the Father, but not the Eternal Father degree, therefore He was a Son, even though He was a Father. Therefore He was a Prince, but when the same One had come to that Eternal Fathership degree, there and then He was the King, but He was not declared to be the King of Peace in that particular scripture; therefore, scripturally He was not called the King of Peace, for the mystery that He had advanced from one degree to the other to be the Eternal Father and the King of Peace.
Hence the religions of today, they speak of the Prince of Peace. They do not, as a rule, speak of the King of Peace so vividly, although Isaiah, in the same prophecy, yea, the prophecy of Isaiah, he did declare
'Behold, a King shall reign in righteousness and princes shall rule in judgment.'
You can see he did advance his understanding in his prophecy in the prophetic age until he could say the Father, or Christ, or GOD, being merely the Everlasting Father or Prince of Peace. They could see at least, he could see Him as He advanced and unfolded most distinctly to be the King of Peace, but he declared
'A King shall reign in righteousness and princes shall rule in judgment, and a man shall be as an hiding place.'
Now the King of Peace reigneth forever and forever. It is not merely the Everlasting Father. Everlasting is something that will last ever as "everwear aluminum", but it is not Eternal. The Eternal Father is without the beginning of days and without the end of life. In that unfoldment there was a beginning to the Everlasting Father, for the Everlasting Father had His beginning as a Child that was born and a Son that was given, when they found out He was a Son at the time of the consecration.
At the time if circumcision, when He was to be circumcised, they found out it was a Son that was given when they went to make the consecration, but the world generally did not know definitely that He was a son until the time had truly come.
Then I say, this One of which was the Everlasting Father, of which has been spoken of quite often, He had a beginning, but there was a break in the prophecy. It did not make the prediction straight through in connection with the everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace and the Eternal Father, for the Eternal Father, the Creator of everybody, was to appear as did Melchizedek, without the beginning of days and without the end of life.
Then I say, tell them that the Eternal Father reigneth forever and forever the Father of the Father that was called a Prince of Peace! Aren't you glad! The Father of the Father, I say, that was called the Prince of Peace; for that Father that was and everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace, He had a beginning that is to say, He had a beginning from that angle of expression; for
'..unto us a Child is born.'
But that One Who was the Father of that Child that grew up to be the Everlasting Father, you did not have a record of His birth nor beginning.
Then I say, the Everlasting Father was a blessing to the people as the prince of Peace He stood; but when the time came for the King of Peace to be represented, the Everlasting Father was not connected directly with the Eternal Father, the King of Peace, yet it was predicted concerning the mystery, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, therefore the Father of the Prince is the King. Can you not see the mystery?
They could not observe the mystery so distinctly as it is observable and as you observe it, but as the mystery is revealed and made a little more distinct you can see it is the true saying:
' GOD is His own interpreter and He will make things plain.'
GOD is causing those things that were hid from and through the ages to be revealed, made known and understood by the children of men; hence the King of Peace reigneth now forever and forever, as the prophet declared after the break in the prophecy concerning the mystery of the Child that was born and that birth lineage from that angle of expression. After getting out of that lineage apparently, he saw on another occasion:
' Behold, a King shall reign in righteousness and princes shall rule in judgment, and a man shall be as an hiding place.'
Then I say, the great unfoldment of the mystery is a living reality in this dispensation among this people. For this cause there are two more letters added to this dispensation. It is no longer limited to A. D., but F. D. Is now included. This is a new dispensation in which we are now living.
For this cause you can see in our calendar of The New Day, as published by The New Day Publishing Company, the new calendar representing this dispensation since A.D. 1938. We have ushered in a new day and a new dispensation of the Son of GOD, not merely the dispensation of the Christian era, but we are now in the Angelic Dispensation of the year of Our Lord FATHER DIVINE, the Peace Mission Era, the dispensation of the Pace Mission Movement existing in the place of the Christian movement, by which it has free access over and above the barriers to the Christian movement. Where the Christian movement as the Christian movement had a barrier and a limitation, in this dispensation there is no limitation it goes into infinitude the end you cannot vision.
With or without a person it was declared in the prediction of the Apostle to the Hebrews, made after the order of Melchizedek; without the beginning of days and without the end of life, although there did apparently come a change of dispensation according to the reckoning of the repetition of history, As history continues to repeat itself, GOD, through love and mercy, unfolds the mystery and causes HIS people to see more distinctly things that had not been observed in the Christian dispensation. Aren't you glad! For
'GOD is HIS own interpreter.'
GOD is making things plain that were hid from ages in other words through the ages from many.
This is the dispensation of the revelation of GOD. GOD is revealing through His revelation and through His inspiration, as revealing the spirit of things and the things of the Spirit that were hid through the ages, even those things that were hid from the saints and the prophets, the seers and the sages. GOD, in mercy and in compassion, now reveals His mysteries, yea, His secrets to His servants the prophets. I thank you.
