FATHER DIVINE with The Holy Bible
'And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereon?
'And no man in heaven nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
'And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold the Lion of the tribe of Judea, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof,'
Revelation, Chapter 5: verse 1-5
FATHER DIVINE, GOD ALMIGHTY, here on earth in Bodily Form has opened The Bible and loosened the Seven Seals thereof. FATHER Said: (in part) concerning The Bible now being an Open Book:
The Heaven was searched as well as the earth and you could not find one in the Heavenly state of expression to open the Book and take the seals there seals there off and re reveal the Mystery of GOD. By the most insignificant of your most simple and most condescended thought, out from under such as came forth, such n insignificant condescended thought came I out from under the Altar of your heart to look on the Book and open the Book, The Bible, and take the seal there off, that the Mysterious might be revealed of GOD.
"None were found worthy. There was not one found worthy to even look on the Book, but when I searched, I found as though it was one coming out from under the Altar of your heart. They had been keeping HIM down in Adam, bound in chains of darkness, of misunderstanding, in that mortal version of humanity. until I resurrect HIM forth into expression and told HIM to come out in the open and cause HIMSELF to be observed. And when He came out HE took the BOOK out of the educator's hand; HE loosed the seal thereof and revealed the Mysteries of GOD to them."
The New Day, Aril 7,1938 A.D.F.D, page 11.
"Surely, the glorious Advent of the Marriage of CHRIST to HIS SPOTLESS CHURCH, heralded the Era that John in his prophetic revelation spoke about, the time of the opening of the seven seals.
THROUGH MY MARRIAGE the Marriage of the Lamb to his Spotless Church, Virginity has been re-birthed and lives of the Children of men the world over. I have broken the seals that hid the mystery of the reality of GOD among men the three Persons in ONE, the FATHER, the SON and the Holy Ghost. I have lifted humanity from the shroud of the superstitious imaginations and awaked them to the mystery of the GODHEAD BODILY FORM PERSONIFIED among them; yet not only having a BODY, but being the true Head of the individual bodies the temples of the children of men.
"This is what MY Marriage is all about. It is to get humanity to recognize the FATHER of their bodies, and thus to live in consideration of the FATHER of their bodies, which is the CHRIST PRINCIPLE of LIFE.
"MY Marriage is HOLY from every aspect, and I have legalized it that all men might know that Virginity has been legalized, for the Virtue of our Marriage propagates Virginity to the world. It is more than mortal to command, it is beyond human comprehension in a great measures, yet, the masses are coming seeking this Spiritual Freedom; it is something; it is something within them impelling them to come up higher were I AM showing them the mysteries I AM revealing.
"I am causing humanity to become conscious of their Divine self, and by the recognition of the FATHER of their bodies to come into true affinity through the Virtuous Life of the CHRIST, the same which MY BRIDE lives from every angle expressible ."

"I am CALLING FOR my Internal Self in you. I AM calling for MY Omnipresent Spirit and MY Everpresent Spirit to come forth into expression."

It is your privilege to be according to my declaration in the conclusion of all of MY Letters of correspondence, MY ATTRIBUTES depicted and described as though they are personal, they are Personal and yet they are Universal! I AM WELL, I AM HEALTHY, I AM JOYFUL, I AM PEACEFUL, I AM LIVELY, I AM LOVING, SUCCESSFUL, PROSPEROUS AND HAPPY. Each of you Can be the same by imbibation, by reincarnation, by reproduction and by personification, for the word has been made flesh and it dwells among us. God made Himself Flesh to let you see and know these attributes can be reproduced and made flesh in you and in your life so that it might reproduce and manifest and reincarnate in others by concentration and by visualization, for the thing you vividly visualize you tend to materialize. Isn't that wonderful! Concentrate on it vividly, you can reproduce It. The New Day, October l6,1948 A.D.F.D., Page 4.
"Then I say, this is the fulfillment of the Scripture, in which we are now functioning, and judging the Twelve Tribes of Israel, ruling and reigning in the state of expression commonly known as "The Throne of David,' for it was the state of expression that was discovered by revelation and by inspiration and by vision, through David and by David. That is why it was called "The Throne of David,' but David did not claim it. He declared, "The LORD Reigneth ,'described the Throne of GOD on which HE should REIGN and RULE. He said,
'Righteousness and Judgment is the Habitation of His Throne.'
HE did not say it was his, however, he said, 'Righteousness and Judgment is the
Habitation of HIS Throne.' He saw the Dispensation through the ages, and he declared,
'The Earth Saw and Trembled',
Do you not see them trembling today, because of the RIGHTEOUSNESS and because
of the JUDGMENT that no ma can understand. "
The Spoken Word, February 22,1936 A.D.F.D, page 6.
FATHER DIVINE the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnilucent, All Loving Omnipresent, Everpresent God, Here on Earth in Bodily Form, said; "We take the King James version of the Bible and the Sermon on the Mount as the foundation of our Peace Mission Movement and Christian Religion."
The New Day, March 20,1948 A.D.F.D, page 2.
'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.;F.D. is included. This is a new dispensation
in which we are now living.
"For this cause you can see in your calendar of "The New Day as published by The New Day Publishing Company, the new calendar represented 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 Disposition of the year of our LORD FATHER DIVINE, the PEACE MISSION era, the dispensation of the PEACE 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. When 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 is as 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 recognition 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 '
The New Day, Jan. 12, 1939 A.D.F.D., page 38
"Nothing in heaven or earth can change the conviction in our hearts that FATHER DIVINE is the ONE that was to come. He is the REDEEMER and the SAVIOR of all mankind. He is the MESHIACH for the Jews. He is JESUS returned in the FATHERSHIP Degree for the CHRISTIANS. He is the ONE GOD, the ONE MAKER and CREATOR of ALL.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days Of my life.
Psalm 22.
"Why? Because GOD is your Shepherd!! Aren't you glad! Just be fanatical enough and radical enough MY Fellow Citizens and Friends to know that GOD is with you! HIS Rod and HIS Staff, they comfort you! Can you not see the mystery!
And as GOD is actually WITH You and you are CONSCIOUS of it, the SPIRT of the conscientiousness of the PRESENCE of GOD is the SOURCE of your every supply. The Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD IS the Source of your FOOD and your RAIMENT.
"I AM TALKING ABOUT GOD'S PRESENCE. You need not necessarily be conscious of GOD'S Personal Presence, for GOD is Present EVERYWHERE. But I will declare to you and unto all inhabitants of the earth, when you convince yourself once and forever GOD is actually PRESENT with you, and LIVE it and EXPRESS it in DEEDS and ACTIONS, GOD will SUPPLY your EVERY DESIRE and will be your most SIMPLEST SUPPLY. Aren't you glad?
"Oh, that men would but learn the significant of the RECOGNITION and the REALIZATION of GOD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE, for that is the MISSION of CHRIST to the children of men, to convince them that GOD is PRESENT with them! Can you not see the mystery? And the adverse and undesirable conditions, all for the lack of the Realization and the Knowledge of GOD'S Actual Presence. I AM talking about being Present with you."
