World Resurrection Into The New Earth State
Uranda
September 23, 1943 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
We know that the world as it was first created, the Divine Estate, was one with Heaven—the world that then was and Heaven were One. There was no evil separating the two, and as Divine Man functioned it was in a full consciousness, or as full as might be necessary, of the activities of the Inner Planes; but when man fell and brought about the turmoil that has since existed, a division as far as man was concerned was established—a veil beyond which he could not penetrate. In the Motherland when man first fell, areas were set apart where the fallen ones were placed and a vibrational wall was established so that they could not go through that wall unless they responded to the LORD. It was impossible for them to penetrate that wall. As evil beings multiplied and increased it became necessary for those who remained in the Divine Estate to withdraw from the world because their presence gave fallen man undue privileges and opportunities—and a number of things happened.
The wall that had separated fallen man from Divine Man, here on the surface of the earth, was simply moved to a point where it separated fallen man from the Inner Planes. The so-called veil or point of separation that we now have between this outer world and the Inner Planes is identical in nature and structure to that wall that was used to confine the fallen ones in the first place to any allocated area in the earth's surface. That should open up something to you. These wayward ones could have walked out through that wall into the world of Divine Man at any time if they had been willing, completely, without any reservation, to let go of their evil ways and to harmonize in the ways of God. Since that is true, the same thing applies now. That should give you something to think about. The veil that was rent asunder in the Temple at the time of the crucifixion of Jesus is a symbol of the way the veil will be rent asunder in the world, opening up an interplay between Heaven and earth, the Inner and the outer planes. It will be because that veil is rent asunder that we can, in due season, see Jesus Christ and the Host that is with Him. This wall of limitation that was established around fallen man, and is the wall of limitation as far as God is concerned, is still established around fallen man.
When those who were functioning according to the Divine Estate withdrew, the greatest number of them—a few remained, a few went into what we might call Asia Minor at the present time, and a few remained in Atlantis, but the majority of them withdrew. That meant that the Cosmic Vibrations flowing into the world had to begin to function through the consciousness of fallen man, whereas before they had to function through the consciousness of Divine Man who was polarized in reality. The earth up to that point was polarized according to the way it was created, but when that Cosmic Force began to flow through fallen man, the earth itself was thrown out of polarity. The subterranean supports of Lemuria crumbled, and the Garden of Eden, amidst flames of fire that burst out of the bowels of the earth, vanished below the waters of the Pacific.
The true teaching was retained in Atlantis, and Atlantis was given an opportunity to return to God. This great cataclysm that had overtaken the world should have made men and women turn to God. It did for a little while, but in Atlantis the machine age developed, a machine age that surpasses anything at the present time, and man depended upon the machine rather than upon God. And finally it reached a point where those Divine Men and Women who still remained as teachers in the world had to withdraw, because human beings insisted on walking in the way of evil rather than return to God. So they ascended, and the earth was thrown still further out of polarity, and this further shift in the earth's axis—not in the same direction as before—caused all of this ice that had been formed up here in this north country for a thousand years to begin to shift. It caused various portions of the continents to rise up from underneath the water again, and it caused new mountains to appear, and it caused this great sheet of ice that had been established in the north—the land was lifted and the earth shifted on its axis—to come sliding down upon this continent, and there immediately followed what has been called the Ice Age.
Within 500 years, roughly, the memory of Lemuria and Atlantis was virtually forgotten, though dim legends were passed down from generation to generation. Only a few people survived. Those few began to gradually increase in numbers until finally man reached a point in his progress, some 5000 to 6000 years ago, where he began to record his doings. There was a period of around 5000 years, from the time of the submersion of Atlantis and the catastrophe of this ice sheet, until human beings progressed sufficiently—in Egypt, for instance—to begin to make a written record. From that point on we have recorded history covering about the past 5000 years, but up to that point our ordinary histories have nothing to say.
As man began to replenish the earth, God established a way by which he could again become aware of the things of God. In the Motherland there had been Seven Sacred Schools, but man had gone down to the very bottom and has been slowly coming up again from the days of the cave man. The First Sacred School was established by Melchizedek through Abraham, and then it was continued through Joseph and Moses, and the people were carried finally into the Promised Land. In this experience, through the portrayal of circumstances, the fundamental principles of the world release into reality were made manifest. But Israel, once in the Promised Land, everything going more or less nicely, became content and ceased to expand spiritually. And so, the children of Israel failed. The First Sacred School failed. Jesus came and established the Second Sacred School. This teaching was working from the basic standpoint of the mental approach so that the world could have been transformed and carried into the Ideal State at that time if the world had responded, but it would not. We find that by 300 A.D. the light that He had established was pretty well blotted out and for a thousand years of stagnation the world had to endure the Dark Ages. In the 13th century the expansion began to manifest; knowledge began to increase, and it has been increasing with intensified speed during the last 600 years. And so we come to the present.
Looking forward, we see that the same principle that was working at the time of the submersion of Atlantis and Lemuria must be reversed to bring the New Earth state into manifestation. “And I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth: for the first Heaven and the first earth were passed away, and there was no more sea.” What does it mean, there will be no more sea? It is because the continents that have been submerged are to arise. The earth is over three-quarters water now. It will be over three-quarters land. That means that there must be established a dominant focal point of consciousness in the world which will, in due season, take over the control of the mass consciousness so that the Cosmic Vibrations will begin to work through the polarized consciousness of those on the earth, and that will throw the earth back into polarity. As that happens, the continents will arise. The earth will again be in position to be Eden, Paradise restored.
It will take a long time, comparatively speaking, from that time until the evil works of man will be eliminated from the face of the earth. The Bible specifies a period of about a hundred years—one hundred years of reconstruction after the earth has been thrown back into polarity, and after the continents have been brought back, and man is really functioning from the standpoint of the New Earth state. We see, then, that our own harmonization in right polarity, and what we do towards maintaining and establishing more fully that right polarization, is essential for the salvation of the world and for bringing the earth back into true polarity so that the New Earth can manifest. Someone has to do it—has to stand so steady, so constant, through the coming period of turmoil that the right polarity of consciousness will be established. When the evil forces of consciousness have crumbled by their own evil, the Focal Points of Reality will be unveiled and will permit the Cosmic Forces to begin to right this wobbling old earth upon its axis, and then will come the beginning of the New Earth state.
Of what value is all of this to us here and now? It helps us to have a clearer understanding of what God has provided for the salvation of man and what is to take place. But we have definite problems to face. We are confronted with the necessity of living in the now. The First Sacred School and the Second Sacred School left records of activities which are of vital importance in working things out in this Third Sacred School. We could go back and study the various events—but we are going to skip that part of it and come up to the point of the Second Sacred School, from the life of Jesus on, and consider that in relationship to the present, particularly the latter part of His activities on the earth. Just prior to His crucifixion, He was acclaimed by thousands, but as soon as there was a little questioning, somebody whispering and talking, someone not sure that it was wise to be seen with such a man, what happened to the thousands, the ones who had cried, “Hosanna to the King?” Where were they? Very discreetly they departed—discreetly according to their own human concept.
We could stop and consider Christianity, the modern church, as it is now known. I am not finding fault, I am pointing to the facts. But if all those who had classified themselves as Christians had been functioning according to what the Christ Life meant, do you think that the present circumstances would have worked out as they have? No. Christians were given an opportunity, as few people have been given in this modern day, to so live that the world could still have been carried into the New Earth state without complete world crucifixion. We see that—don't we? Millions who have been classifying themselves as Christians; nations who have been classifying themselves as Christian nations—and what has happened? We have millions crying, “Hosanna to the King.” And they think they are going to get something for nothing. But when it comes to the pinch of everyday living, of really standing effectively, they discreetly depart, as in the days of old. They do not think.
If these millions had been functioning in the power of God, this old world could not be in the shape that it is now. So it is in the day-by-day activity that individually and collectively the peoples of the world have been judging themselves. And as it came close to the time of crucifixion in the world, the power of Christians, as such, was not very strong. The crucifixion is in process and the church has been on trial, everybody has been on trial, as Jesus was on trial. As that trial miscarried insofar as justice and mercy were concerned, so came the beginning of the present conflict in the world. There are those who would like to say, “Oh, well, it was just Hitler and Mussolini,” and so on. It does not detract anything from the character of those individuals to recognize that they could never have gotten into power if that which was not like unto themselves was not in the nations. The very fact that such creatures can manifest and go to the top shows the state of the world. It is not just those nations alone but all other nations too, because if greed and selfishness had not been working through all nations, such a thing could not come to pass. We are not dealing just with two or three individuals, we are dealing with the fundamental condition that contaminates humanity. How is this condition to be removed? Through this process of world crucifixion.
What happened after the crucifixion of Jesus? He was taken down from the cross. What is it that the world is being crucified on? On the cross of the self-willed human body and its lust and greed and everything else. Then after the crucifixion, what? The tomb. Do you think that just as soon as this crucifixion is over everything is going to be alright? No. They may have thought, everything is going to be alright, just as soon as we kill the Son of God. We will hang Him on the tree, and everything will be all over. They were not thinking, were they? The world hangs itself indeed. They thrust the sword into the side of Jesus. Then comes the period of the tomb. We are in the period of the crucifixion now, and will be for some little time. I cannot tell you exactly how long. There is nothing established about it. The period of the crucifixion will continue; but then the world is to be placed in the tomb, the world itself, because the blackness of the tomb will be engulfing this world more than ever, and it will be only those who are polarized in the Life, in the understanding of the things of God, in the realization of the Presence of God through the Father within, who will be able to carry through the period of the tomb and emerge victorious as Jesus did.
The period of the tomb won't be over in a week or two—it will not be a short time; depending on how human beings react, it can be shorter or longer, but it will be a period of the tomb, and the things which Jesus prophesied will manifest still more fully then: famines, earthquakes in divers places, etc. The old earth is trembling on its axis, getting ready for the shaking on its foundations which will return it to right polarity. The period of the tomb will carry up to the time of the shift, and that will be the rolling away of the stone from the tomb when that takes place.
Comparatively few of the human beings now living will be able to carry through that period, but no one will be able to carry through unless—I am not saying all evil ones, because there will be some who are working contrary to the Will of God will carry through clear past that point—but insofar as we are concerned we recognize that to carry through successfully we have to be polarized in the Source of Life, we have to be willing to work under limited conditions, we have to have our lives so fully dedicated to service that little else matters. And then we come to a time of a few years of world intense suffering—we are in it already actually. The Fire of God coming down from Heaven is devouring all the people of the world. Either we respond in love to it, or we fight against it and become destroyed.
Can we face these facts and consider these things and not become fearful? Does it make you afraid when we paint this picture as it is unfolding in the world, or can you look at it calmly, serenely, and say, “Let it come.” It is better to have these few years of intensive suffering and have it over with, than to continue for thousands of years, dragging out the misery. People are so prone to say, “Well, if we could just return to normal times.” What normal times? The best time you can mention in the scope of your memory in this present life, or back in recorded history? What shall we say? We have not had any normal times since the time that man fell and we will not have any normal times until we get back to the Divine Estate. Well then, we know that misery, suffering and sorrow are going to continue until they are wiped out, and until the New Earth state emerges victoriously. It is that to which we look.
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men.” (Revelation 21:1) Now we can take that statement as applying prophetically just to the period that is described; but if it was true then it must be true now. The Tabernacle of God is with men, and has been all the time. All men have to do is to see it. What is this new Jerusalem? It is the new spiritual consciousness, the understanding of Divine things as seen from the spiritual standpoint. Instead of looking at it from the old standpoint—external effects—we are looking at it from the new standpoint. To the degree that you actually function according to the principles of the Third Sacred School, you are letting the Fire of Heaven come down, letting the New Jerusalem manifest, the new spiritual consciousness. It is taking place just to the degree that it is permitted to, but ultimately it will take place in all the world.
In the past, people have looked at things from the physical and mental standpoint. Now, making an adjustment, we are looking at things from the spiritual standpoint, from the standpoint of spiritual perception, the point of attunement between man and God, to stand in the Holy Place. We see that as we let this New Jerusalem come down from God out of Heaven all the former things are caused to pass away. We are not trying to maintain the former things. We are not struggling for the former things. Yes, for an examination of the things that were before the fall of man we have to look back a long way; and we are working in the present so that we may have a part in that fulfillment.
After Jesus arose there was a period before they recognized Him. Mary Magdalene saw Him, but did not recognize Him. So then, after this period there will be a time of adjustment, but finally the people will be able to see Him as He is. And that is what is called the second coming of Jesus, when the people can see Him as He is, and when the veil is seen to be rent in twain. It is already rent in twain, but does not seem to be. And so, we see how He pictured for us the days that are at hand, and how it will be after the world resurrection into the New Earth state. The stone is thrown away from the tomb, the world is thrown back into polarity, for the former things are passed away. Is this pleasing to you, although all around is darkness? Is that a beautiful picture instead of the darkness that is between this point and that goal? The old world won't let it be any quicker or better. The days are to be shortened for the elect's sake. It will be shortened as much as possible. But the world will have to learn to let go of the unreal, let it crumble. We must not cling to it. We will have to realize it and let it go. Isn't that right? If we cling to it we will be carried out with it. Is that a hard doctrine? It is the Doctrine of Love. You are to serve God, and others likewise. We are asked to respond to the LORD in Love, but we cannot save the individual who will not let himself be uplifted. Each must make his own choice. We cannot make it for others.
1953 — 2053

an excerpt
You will remember that I stated that the destruction of evil by evil during the period of the Tomb would unveil the Focal Points of Reality, who should begin to take control of the world activities at a point designated in time as 1953. The purpose of the sounding of the 7th Trumpet is this: “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” That is the fulfilment of the outworking of the Cosmic Plan towards which we look.
During the time of the sounding of the 7th Trumpet the nations will be angered, and that which is pictured as the wrath of God will be made manifest in the world against the nations that have chosen to defy God. During the blowing of the 6th Trumpet, which is now taking place, one-third of the people of the world are destroyed, but those who remain, who have chosen the unreal will not repent; so the destruction of evil and evil-doers is continued through the blowing of the 7th Trumpet, until the Temple of God is opened in heaven from the standpoint of the whole world.
In this we have an outline picture of what we can expect in the years to come. We can see something of what the world has to pass through; we see something of the responsibility that rests upon us; and we can see that the period of opportunity which the Lord provides in the early part of the sounding of the 7th Trumpet, when its vibrations begin to manifest from a world standpoint must be a period of great expansion in the Service of the Lord in the earth.
It is not wise for human beings who are inclined to react to ill things more or less, and who are not yet perfectly polarized in Reality, to be too concerned about the future and what it holds. It should emphasize to every Earnest One the absolute necessity of his doing his part, of his letting the Temple of God be opened in heaven within himself. It is obvious from the outline that the days of the “greater works” which Jesus mentioned are at hand.
When we look out upon the world and its turmoil, it is evident that there are tens of thousands of people who are honestly and sincerely seeking to do the right thing, and to move in the right direction, in all lands and creeds and races. These are they who are responding to the Call of God to “come up hither.” It is because of these hundreds of thousands of Responding Ones who hunger and thirst after righteousness that the need for an increased manifestation of the Light in the earth is so great. The question arises: What are you individually going to do about it? To what degree is each one who has been given an opportunity to consciously know of the Divine Plan going to let himself be dedicated to being a focal point through which the sounding of the 7th Trumpet may manifest.
In concluding this Fireside Talk, I wish to remind you, and all who may read these words, that the outworking of the period of Transition is, according to the Bible, to take 100 years, dating from 1953, before the full outmanifestation of Eden restored will be in evidence. This 100-year period, dating from 1953, is mentioned, and described, in Isaiah 65: 17 to 25 inclusive, and the 20th verse specifically indicates the 100-year period of transformation for the world—or, in other words, it states that after the Focal Point of Reality in the earth has been granted primary control in the world outworking it will take 100 years for the earth to be restored to its Edenic State. Therefore, the full manifestation to the New Earth State can be expected at about 2053 A.D.
For your further information in gaining an understanding of this text, remember that the New Jerusalem is the New Spiritual State of Consciousness for the whole world, and that the old Jerusalem now manifest represents the present state of man's consciousness. In the 19th verse, God says: “I create Jerusalem a rejoicing.” This is the same New Jerusalem spoken of in the Book of Revelation.
Concerning a clear understanding of the second part of the 20th verse, which reads: “For the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner, being an hundred years old, shall be accursed,” I would point out that God is here speaking about the New Heaven and the New Earth which He is going to create. The beginning of that creative period in 1953 is symbolized as the birth of a child. That cycle, symbolized by the child, will be completed in 100 years, which shows why it is stated that “the child shall die an hundred years old.” It is further noted that “the sinner, being an hundred years old, shall be accursed.” This is a statement to the effect that, during this 100-year period, that which sinners have done, or accomplished, or expressed, in the earth, will be eliminated from the earth during this 100-year period.
