The Seven Personages
Uranda February 11, 1949
Now I wish to read to you from the Book of Revelation. There are Seven Personages indicated here which play a part, and we will consider the first five Personages:
The First Personage is the Woman, the whole body of what the world recognizes as Christianity, those who have, to the best of their knowledge and ability, in sincerity, undertaken to serve our LORD and KING:
“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.”
Then, the Second Personage, satan or the devil, or the manifestation of man's greatness according to his own self-active mind, lacking the control which would result from submission to the Will of God:
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven”—this is that cycle of man-made achievement—“And behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.”
This is the Third Personage, the Child, the Christ Body, or the expression of the Christ through the Christ Body:
“And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.”
Then, the Fourth Personage, the Archangel Michael: “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his Angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels.”
We have these two manifestations in Heaven, that is, the Spiritual Consciousness of humanity. Heaven here means the Spiritual Consciousness of humanity, the highest and the best that human beings know. We have, on the one hand, the woman, and on the other hand the great red dragon; on the one hand the Spiritual achievements made manifest through those who have sought to follow Jesus Christ, and on the other those who have achieved great things according to world standards in following after the dictates of the human mind. So, both of these Wonders are in Heaven, the Spiritual Consciousness of humanity, that which is the highest and best that is seen and known by humanity. That is what is called Heaven.
The Fourth Personage is the Archangel Michael
There was war in heaven: Michael and his Angels fought against the dragon;
and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:
he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ:
for the accuser, of our brethren is cast down, which, accused them before our God day and night.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony:
and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea;
for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth,
he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness,
into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman,
that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
And the earth helped the woman,
and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,
which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Now, here is the Fifth Personage: the Seed of the Woman. By reason of the fact of Christianity in the world, something comes forth. This Fifth Personage is that which you are—“The remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ,” that Unit through which the Power of the Christ is made manifest.
Here, in these words in the Twelfth Chapter of Revelation, in brief we have the whole outline of that which has been at work in our coming to this hour, and it emphasizes the necessity of right polarity; for as the devil is cast out of Heaven into the earth, it is said, “Rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea, for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
We are engaged in the beginning of that War in Heaven now—that War has been taking place in the Heaven of your own consciousness. The devil, the self-active expression of being, has been, I trust, thoroughly cast out of your Heaven, so that you may be those Angels serving with Michael, and so that you may be the true manifestation of the Seed of the Woman, through which the Christ expression is again made manifest on earth. This is that to which we are called, and it is only in the fulness of dedication in Love to our LORD and KING that we can truly share in His Victory. It is that we may understand that to which we are called, and that Body through which His Spirit may manifest in accomplishing His Will on earth, that we are gathered here tonight.
This may be the little wheel by which the power is transmitted to the larger wheel, so that the larger wheel may move and transmit the power to the larger, until, Wheels within Wheels, the Power of God is operating in and through the whole of the Machinery of Reality on earth, and that which is His Will is done because His Dominion is restored and His Will controls in the expression of the New Heaven and the New Earth wherein dwelleth Righteousness. I trust that, step by step without undue delay, we can move forward in bringing about a clear realization of the focus that you carry in the Unit. But that focus must be something that is of you. Not that I am to appoint you to something, but rather that I wish to help you to understand that something that is in yourselves, that you may see it and understand it for what it is, that you may function with and in a greater understanding of your fellow Members of the Unit.
We have had delays enough. The great necessity is for us to move forward effectively, doing something. I praise God for the doing that is manifesting through you. I would like to see, as we move forward, a greater cohesiveness of function, a more vibrant manifestation. There has been progress all along the line in this. I sincerely trust that, because you are here tonight, there is no development of any self-righteous spirit or attitude with respect to those who are not here. Let us remember not to judge, but let us utilize that which is at hand, that which is possible within the range of our function, to be doing in the Spirit of the Living Christ, and as we continue, this field of form shall surely become vibrantly alive, and the things needful in manifestation shall appear.
Let us let this focus of the Unit here tonight become, through agreement in the Mind that was in Christ Jesus, through right function and right polarity, the controlling force by which all the others shall be helped in whatsoever way may be needful, that all may share the reality of membership in the Unit, and that each one may be a means by which some certain phase or aspect of the One Spirit may manifest effectively on earth, to the Glory of God and to the Blessing of the children of men. The Blessing of God is upon you as you abide in Love Response to Him.
