All Things Made New
Uranda March 18, 1944
With the world itself in the throes of a rebirth as made manifest through the turmoil, suffering, sorrow and death which engulf the globe, we are, as citizens of the world, subjected to increased pressure in the rapid tempo of life. This intensified stress causes us, individually and collectively, to turn whole-heartedly to that in which we have confidence and faith—to that which we feel provides a means for release and for a measure of happiness. Those who turn to worldly pleasures and temporal powers in the vain hope that thereby release and happiness may be experienced, must be allowed to follow in the way of their own fancies until they come to the time of disillusionment. If individual disillusionment comes while there is yet life, there will be an eager willingness to hear the Word, to learn the Way, and to do the requisite deeds. Therefore, it should be understood that these words are addressed to those who sincerely look to God for release and for the Divinely appointed measure of happiness. Sounding above the din of the world turmoil there is the clear and undying note of truth and confidence in the Divinely uttered words which we find in Revelation 21:5
Behold, I make All Things New
We know that God is making, and will make, all things new. We know that the human patchwork, and that the human efforts to retain and uphold the worn-out devices and worldly structures, must assuredly fail. We know that it is absolutely futile to pin our faith on anything which does not have its foundation in the Divine Plan in harmony with the Laws and Principles of the Christ Kingdom. For all those who are awake to the Reality of the Christ Kingdom, and to the actuality of the Divine Word, “Behold, I make all things new,” there is a Biblical passage that carries a heart-thrilling message: “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:17
Those who are being prepared of the Spirit to be Citizens of the Kingdom always rejoice in the opportunity to learn the Language of the Kingdom, to learn the Ways of the Kingdom, and to learn the Laws and the Customs of the Kingdom, that they may learn to live in the Kingdom. In John 10:1-5 inclusive, we read: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.”
There is the one true Way and there is the one true Door into the sheepfold, and the true Shepherd enters by the true Way, to lead his sheep forth by the true Door, and the sheep of the fold know the Voice of the Shepherd and follow him. How wise are the sheep that flee from the sound of the stranger's voice when the stranger entereth not by the Door into the sheepfold. So it is that as I come in the Power of the Spirit, and by the command of the Lord Jesus Christ, to gather His sheep into the Fold, and then to lead them forth by the true Door into the Divine Way wherein they shall find all things made new, those who are of the sheepfold will hear My Voice and rejoice in the Language of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ our Lord. The clarion Call is sounding forth throughout the earth: “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Behold, the Water of Life is now being offered to all those who feel and know the Spirit of the Language of the Kingdom, and to all who are willing to be led into the Way, the Truth and the Life, when they hear the Words of the Language of the Kingdom. We are not interested in the doctrines of men, and I am not concerned with the politics and plans by which human beings think to achieve the fulfilment of their own desires. I am concerned only with that which is My Purpose and Calling in the Spirit to Minister unto all the children of men who find it in their hearts to desire to be Citizens of the Christ Kingdom on earth.
I have no quarrel with any church, and I freely acknowledge the right of each and every one to affiliate with the church of his choice. I gladly recognize that there is at least a degree of truth in all churches and in all spiritual teachings, else they could not exist. But the time is here when a degree of truth is not sufficient. Jesus Christ our Lord gave the sure and certain promise which we find in the Thirteenth Verse of the Sixteenth Chapter of the Gospel according to John: “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” And in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Verses we read: “He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
Here we see that by the decree of the King of the Christ Kingdom, the Spirit of Truth would come to guide all those of all nations and kindreds and tongues and peoples who would respond and let themselves become as little children, that they might become Citizens of the Christ Kingdom, and be guided into all Truth—not a portion of the Truth only, but the whole Truth. By this same decree of our King we see that the function of the Spirit of Truth made manifest in the world should take of that which was His—that is, of that which belongs to the King, and that which was of the King, and should show it unto all the children of men who were ready to hearken to His Voice, and to hear His Words: “He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
That about which I speak to you did not have its beginnings in the days of the Reformation, nor did it have its beginnings in the days when Jesus Christ our Lord Himself walked upon the earth, but it had its beginning in the days when God first created this world and all the things that are therein. Then it was that the Christ Kingdom was established in the earth. Then it was that the Christ Kingdom was set up. But even in that time when the Christ Kingdom was set up, it was established upon that which came from out of Eternity to that time and place, and is, therefore, Eternal.
That about which I speak to you is not something that will come to an end like the passing of man-made kingdoms and empires. No, this of which I speak to you is from out of Eternity and continues on into Eternity. The Christ Kingdom, insofar as this world is concerned, has always existed. The sinfulness and the waywardness of man down through the ages of recorded history have prevented the full manifestation of that Kingdom, but, nevertheless, the Christ Kingdom has, through all these thousands of years, been supreme over and above and beyond all the kingdoms which men have established upon the face of the earth, and the day comes, and shall surely appear, when the Christ Kingdom that is from Eternity to Eternity shall again manifest in the whole earth. We have the sure and certain promise of the Living, Almighty God, as expressed by decree of the King of the Christ Kingdom:
Behold, I make All Things New
Therefore, it behooves us, one and all, to give consideration to the way by which all things are made new—now. It behooves us to consider the Laws of God and the Principles of Life with which we must harmonize if we would have a part in the Kingdom that is from Eternity to Eternity. Let each and every one in whom the workings of the Spirit have aroused a desire to know the Kingdom, to understand its Laws, and to learn its Language, remember always, “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
The Water of Life is the Truth of Life, of which you are invited to partake freely, that you may be led of the Spirit into all Truth, and remember, that it is the Truth that shall set you free. It is only through the Truth, the Truth of God, the Truth of the Christ Kingdom, the Truth into which you shall be led by the Spirit according to your response, that you may find release from the turmoil, from the suffering, and the sorrow and death of this world, that you may receive and know and experience the Divinely appointed measure of peace and happiness that is the Will of God for you.
We have the sure and certain promise that all things shall be made new, and through the inspiration of the Spirit as made manifest through the prophets of old, and through the inspiration of the Spirit as made manifest now, we see that in this time of world turmoil the Creator of Heaven and earth is now making All Things New. If you have a sincere, earnest, persistent longing from the depths of your heart to share in this world made new, with the Edenic State restored, it is for you, now, to give yourself, whole-heartedly and without reservation, to God, that through the Spirit you may be made new. Until you are reborn and made new, you cannot comprehend fully that which is to be of the world made new, and until you yourself have been made new, you cannot be a part of the world made new. All things are being made new, but only those who let themselves be made new can share in the state of being that is envisioned in the Words of our King when He said,
Behold, I make All Things New
Are you ready now? If you are ready, you feel the stirrings of the Spirit at the sound of My Voice as I speak to you these words of Truth concerning the Kingdom that is from Eternity to Eternity. And if you are ready, you will hearken and give heed to the words spoken by the Spirit and the Bride, with the invitation to, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst, Come. Turn aside from the way and will of the world into the Way and the Will of God, that you may come into the One Christ Body, to be a part of the One Vine, to be made new and prepared as a worthy Citizen of the Christ Kingdom that shall be made manifest in all the earth.
Behold, I make All Things New
In Daniel 2:44 we read: “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a Kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the Kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, And it shall stand forever.”
Thrice blessed are all they who recognize, and respond to, the Language of the Kingdom, that as they, themselves, are transformed and made ready for the Kingdom, they may be instruments in the Hand of God by which the world itself is transformed and prepared for the full manifestation of the Christ Kingdom. As the world is being reborn, that it may be made new, the people of the world must be reborn if they would become Citizens of the Kingdom. Consider the words of our Lord and King as recorded in Luke 14:16-24, where the servant was sent to proclaim, “Come; for all things are now ready,” but those who should have come began to make excuse.
You will note that the excuses which Jesus outlined cover, in principle, the excuses which the people of the world are making today. Consider this matter well, for those who think to make excuse have, in fact, been left without excuse before God, and that by which human beings delude themselves into a false sense of security is of no avail before the Judgment Bar of our King. Consider, also, the Words of our Master as found in Matthew 22:1-14. Only those who respond to the heavenly invitation, “Come”, can know when and where and how to receive the Wedding Garment, and such as do not have the Wedding Garment will surely hear the command of the King to His servants, “Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called but few are chosen.” Thrice blessed are they who let themselves be chosen of the King, that they may be at Home at the Marriage Feast of the Lamb.
Our Gracious Heavenly Father, we would let ourselves be so drawn by the Cords of Thy Love, and so directed in the Way by Thy Spirit, that we may hear Thy Cosmic Call to “Come” and, hearing, to Respond with that unspeakable Joy that wells up from the depths of our being—for we would let ourselves be made worthy to wear the Wedding Garment, that through us Thy Will may be done in earth as Thy Will is done in Heaven. We thank Thee that it is so established in the Christ, even as Thy Kingdom shall fill the whole earth and endure forever, in Thy Holy Name. Aum-en. Peace be unto you in the Way in which you go, that being blest of the Lord you may be a blessing to all the children of men, of whatsoever race or nation or belief they may be, that according to their response they may share the Peace of God with you, now and ever more, as you walk in the Way of the Christ Kingdom on earth.
