Wm. Irvine's Letter to Fladungs
January 10, 1929
PO Box 28
Jerusalem, Palestine

My Dear Fladungs:

Thanks for yours and calendar, which I found in papers; for which I should thank you once per year, at least.  Calendar says this is the day in 1920 when the European countries signed Peace Treaty.  So you see we are quite safe since 1920.  Even though Judgment and Wrath of the Lamb in place of Mercy began in 1914, and no man excepted.  All were under the same ban, even we ourselves lost all we supposed we had; though we were slow to grasp the fact and experience, and I more than even you. But I had no life till some months before I came up there for Thanksgiving when I had only a taste and glimpse of the fuller things we revel in today and rejoice that we were counted worthy to be the Reader and they that hear and keep the words, which are the River of Water of Life.

Psalm 1 helps to make clear what Blessed means for Reader and hearers: “He shall be like a tree planted by the River,” walking not in the counsel of the ungodly.  Is this not where we are with the Moon under her feet?  “Nor standeth in the way of sinners,” to accuse them as do the ungodly counselors.  For our Message is for all men, and the sinner same as all others.  And even the more hopeful as Jesus said they would be.  “Nor sitteth in the seat of the scorners,” who scorn what comes from God and Jesus from His Throne.  “But in His law doth he meditate night and day.”  Is this not where we are?  For we can't get away from what the Spirit is so constantly revealing of His Truth and purpose for these days, which makes us the Tree planted by the River of Water, which in season bringeth forth fruit and His leaf fadeth never-- always fresh and new things to witness, and witness to.  “And all He does shall prosper.  The ungodly are not so,” but like chaff being blown away by the wind, etc. for the ungodly shall not stand in the judgments of these 14 and coming 7 years.  “Nor in the congregation of the righteous, or numbered amongst those who are His."  “Sinner” means a person that the Spirit can’t work in.  "Righteousness" means one He can work in.  A man may be righteous, though maimed and lame, and wanting an eye.  Better to enter into life halt and maimed, rather than being perfect in walk, words, and eyes and be cast into Hellfire.

And it's good to see how the Reader and Head are part of the same body in Revelation 12.  So don't give me all and refuse your share of these glorious promises which never had any meaning but for the Son of David (as today) and those who are with him.  Probably the 400 in Cave Adullam may be type of such. They were in debt, distress and discontent with conditions at the time under Saul's reign and rule. [1st Samuel 22]. But anything which made them one with David was good for them.  So you need not measure yourselves by the robbery, distress, and discontent with that which was of the Saul or Cain Seed.  For if you had given them your blood they would still be after your flesh and bones; and if you had let them walk over you, they would still wanted to hold a dance on your distressed body, and only add to your discontent with their fellowship.

This does not only apply to Testimony people, but to all kinds of the Cain Seed.  The Lord knoweth, or recogniseth, the way of those who let His Spirit work in them, but the way of the ungodly, in whom His spirit CAN’T work or speak SHALL PERISH.  Does Psalm 1 not cover all our experience and knowledge of His purpose, revealed in Revelation Message, which came from the Throne and is being fulfilled from the Throne, both in Wrath of the Lamb and Mercy to us beyond our wildest dreams?

People are always thinking about the mercy of the Lamb, and more so those who are under His wrath.  Just as we often, who enjoy His mercy, rob ourselves by seeing so much wrath being poured out every day and every where on men that dwell on the face of the whole Earth.  Our old habits of reading, praying, and all we used to think as right in Alpha days has been more or less a snare to us.  To drink and live, or make my words your own, to eat and feast, and give the leaves for the distress of all men everywhere seems almost too easy, compared to the old forms and ways.

To meditate in His law, day and night, is so easy and natural, compared to the constant reading of the book, praying, and testifying, etc. For the Everlasting Gospel is just the opposite of all that men have made to believe is the way to please God; and very much like what Father and Mother enjoy seeing in their children. The love, home, liberty with few expressions of either love or gratitude beyond the feeling of being one with them, such is our privileges in being one of the great family of which He is the Head; though few today, they will increase till we are the New Jerusalem.

Best love in Him to all,

Wm. Irvine

Wm Irvine’s Letter To:  Edwards
February 26, 1929
PO Box 28
Jerusalem, Palestine

My  dear Wm. Rose and Co,

Thanks for yrs; and glad to hear you have some ears to hear.  Alpha was weak, in that it offered mercy with no present alternative; but Omega added, shows that He has redeemed by His blood, all men.  And if they will not serve Him, who bought them, they shall perish from off the Earth now, and bear the eternal consequences, also.

This is the Wrath of the Lamb, and of God.  "The Day of Acceptance," and "The Day of our God," coupled up, as you see in Isaiah, and which Jesus did not quote in Luke 4, 19, & 20—"To preach the acceptable year of the Lord and the vengeance of our God;" and He closed the Book.  Isaiah 61:2.  It’s good to give people a chance to read these two places, when you offer them "acceptance, or vengeance of God." As much vengeance now, as acceptance.

Have you noticed the 4,000 cubits of Ezekiel 47?  Eleven yrs. Is 4,015 days, which helps to bring me back to the weeks before Armistice, when He opened Revelation to me.  The waters coming from the Right Side of the Altar—Jesus being Temple and Altar in His day.  Acceptance with God and of God, depended on their attitude to Him and His Message.  So, again, the poor man is dwelling place and Altar, and the right hand may mean what has come from my pen.  You notice it’s to flow towards Dead Sea and make live with fish.  Nothing can live in it now; just as there can nothing live in the whole world.  The fish from the Jordan River die when they enter the Dead Sea  this gives us a clear grip of the need for the Man and the Waters from the Right of the Altar, flowing out from under the threshold, where people can enter in by.  The Waters can’t flow up hill, so will follow the meek path in their flow.  And the miry places and marshes are to be under salt, showing what selfishness and refusal to witness will do for those who hear.  "Such as follow their crooked ways will He lead forth with the workers of Iniquity."  Psalms 120 to 134 are full of wisdom for these days; and us, who are going up to Jerusalem.

Ezekiel 40 is good, also, as describing what took place in 1918 and since then.  The hand of the Lord was upon me and brought me thither. In the visions of God, bro’t He me into the Land and set me on a high mountain. (Psalm 2, "Yet have  I set my King on my holy hill of Zion;") upon which was the frame of a city on the South.  And he bro’t me thither and behold, a man whose appearance as brass—the mark of the Overcomer, with a measuring reed; And he stood in the gate.  Pretty much my experience.  And the men said to Son of Man, "Behold with thine eyes; hear with thine ears; and set thine heart upon all that I show you for to the intent that I might show you, art thou bro’t thither."  The vision; then, coming here; and then, the purpose to see, hear, and declare to Israel--Those with circumcised hearts and ears, who hear only God by His anointed Overcomer.

When I left California, it was but as a brass man in the eyes of my enemies; and in my purpose not to be hindered by them or anyone;  And only Revelation opened, and light on Armistice to find a wall around the house, or man, and my only weapon a measuring reed of 6 cubits.18 inches, plus four—the width of a palm of hand.  This measure is very familiar to all miners.  18" may draw our attention to 1918.  18 plus 4 equals 22 inches, which may refer to 11th hour of the 11th day; and 6 cubits makes 11 feet, which may mean the month.  And the four sides of the building was a reed—each side equals 4, and one reed high.  I suppose my friends tho’t the wall and the building would keep me safe, and there was no hope, either in them behind, or in those around here, but hope was in the gate towards the East, whence the living waters came forth.  And I can well remember the weeks were like stairs till the Big Snow, which came on February 8-10.  One metre deep, which began the flow of waters.  But in three years, the waters were ankle deep, at any rate; and the reed has been in use all these years, even tho people tho’t it was proof of my not being a prophet.  I have clung on to the 18-4x6 till we are now in the 11th year and the waters to swim in.

When I heard of the death of the first rascal Arab, who tried to hurt me; then, being shot with his own gun, while out hunting on 16th Feby, how my heart bounded with joy, for it was exactly 9 years to a day from the day he began his rascality for 3 months.  But it bro’t back many things, which one is apt to forget with the increase of things to see, and hear, and declare.  I expect, if I were to measure the gate today in the East side, it would be 11 feet wide.

I have gone through it a few times, but never tried to measure it; but I will, for the stone Desert and Dead Sea are all real, and the city is but a frame, and all South of the gate; East, and of course, the waters are literally, to come out of the Mt. Of Olives and flow towards the two seas, when the quake splits the mountain.  But the spiritual part is ours.

The width of the gate and the porch is good, for we can look back and see that only those who clung to eleventh—hour of 11th, day of 11th, month of 11th year had any show; and all others were out.  Then, the little chamber may suit some of you, 3 on either side used for guard rooms where I remember seeing police and watchmen.  Then, you see the gates, table, altar, temple and ornaments, etc.  Posts have palms on them, reminding us of those who testified to these things. The door posts and the narrow windows are good, reminding us of the little light we had.

Then, the sacrifices on the Altar.  Chapter 44 shows that the Prince is to eat bread before the Lord, and to go in and out by that gate.  I don’t think there is much chance of anyone trying to steal my place.  I will leave you to plough thro’ all the details, but every part has a very clear and simple meaning, even up to the name of the city—The Lord is there.  And we can be sure it’s not stone and lime Jerusalem these words are spoken of.  Many would like to accept Jesus and God, but not by his altar; and so you see the importance of the Man.  He that receiveth one such, receiveth me; and inasmuch as ye did it to one of the Least; ye did it, or did it not, unto me.

 I remember hearing a great "Divine" lecturing on the greatness of this temple, etc. in Bible Institute, Los Angeles, which look very comical now, when we look back; but all unregenerate men much have a stone and lime temple.

My best love to all five, and others who have ears to hear,

William Irvine

Maybe Dunbar can copy this helpfully for others.   W. I.

Wm. Irvine’s Letter To: Helen Kellog
April 4, 1929
PO Box 28
Jaffa, Palestine

My dear Helen:

Thanks for yours of (no date).  The way to prove that I am His prophet is to put my message to the test every chance you get; and make chances for that matter.  So you may be enriched by His Spirit giving you words and wisdom in speaking to others.

 Wherever the River of Water of Life flows, there will be Life and blessing to all, -you and those who hear you.  The more you give the more you get, and the Blessing the greater which remains to you. River’s don’t flow up hill so we don’t expect those who are high and mighty, proud, and self satisfied to receive the Waters of Life.  They will be left high and dry to perish, and  people who receive it but won’t be channels to others will not find it any blessing to them, for the salt and marshy land is to be given over to salt.  So what ever you get make sure and give it to some one, or as many as you can

If you read the Bible where and when it has been opened to you, by my reading and His Spirit, then it will help you, otherwise it will hinder you.  But to master all that has been opened to you and use it in helping others, will help yourself and those who hear.  You need not trouble about religion of any sort, It’s  all the same and never was any real value to any one, but to deceive them.  What people need is life, not knowledge of the scriptures, or anything else.  All human nature is selfish, and dead to God,  and so people need living words to quicken them and guide them to let the Spirit work in them, to will and do of His good pleasure (not ours) but His.

 It takes living fathers and mothers to beget  human children, so it takes words of life  thru living children of God to bring life to dead humans.  Naturally living human beings are dead to God, as buried dead are to us.  So seek to speak living words to all you meet, and God will honor you.

My best love in Him,

Wm. Irvine

Wm. Irvine's Letter To:  Walter & Olive Hooes
April 11, 1929
P.O. Box 28
Jaffa, Palestine

My Dear Hooes:

Thanks for two from you. Your misdirected letter has not turned up so far. I wrote P.O. Jerusalem.  But the fact of money being in it made it very unlikely to reach me, as conditions amongst Jews are hard for money, and all others same these days.  But it's never wise to send bills in post, and when you are not sure in addressing, makes it more risky.  But never mind, all we have learned that is any use to us has come, not from perfection, but from imperfection. And when we consider what we have to be glad over we don't have time or inclination to take any stock in any other thing. But we can be quite sure, even a lost letter will not escape His care, by Michael and his angels, who are our guardians in these days, when we can hope for nothing but hatred from the whole world seed.

And as you know the innocence and ignorance and wilfulness of the babe is the charge and responsibility of parents and elders. So we are well shielded over in our ignorance and weakness; and are as the Apple of His eye, and we can prove it the more as we get clearer vision.  And it's always safe to err in trusting Him in all things.

I'm sure you have got a big kick out of Ezekiel, etc. It may seem like an insult to the wise and prudent of the age, that God should offer them the only way of escape in a man, the Least in the Kingdom, as Temple, Throne, Altar, Gate, Walls, Foundation of the city; as prophet, priest, and King, whose words are as the River, and whose fruit as the proof of the Tree of Life, and the added fruit in the Sword of Scandal, which turns every way to keep the man who will not hear and obey, from it.

People may be tempted to think this is giving too much honor to a man, but in it all, it brings glory to Him who sits on the Throne, for it sets the seal and crown on His head who was the Son of Man, veiled in flesh, which no man could receive who named His name, and refused to let God work in his heart.  You can see that the multitudes who only had the outward marks to go failed and melted away when the supreme test of Him becoming the criminal in men's eyes, of the most exalted positions amongst men. You can see the look of grim satisfaction on His face when He sees people stumble over the man of His choice, as did the people on the earth in His day. And wise Judas who thought he could hear both sides, fell into his own pit.

To whom can we go, thou alone hast the words of eternal life, is easy to believe of Jesus now, but the Test is not what Jesus was or is, but what do you think of His Son of Man Servant of today?  For there is but one River, and it proceeds from the Throne of God and also of the Lamb.  Whom do men say that I am, and whom do you say I am, He said to Peter. And Peter's confession was proof that the Father had revealed it to him, making him a Rock, and part of the Rock which the gates of Hell cannot overthrow.  How sure is His work and how impossible for man to overthrow or hinder.

Swatting flies is a hard job compared to ours in these days in dealing with the most dangerous enemies of His and ours.  For out of their own mouths comes the fulminate spark which sets off God's dynamite to curse the fruitless fig tree; or move a mountain and cast it into the sea is as easy as to take our morning cup. And if we could see the twelve manner of fruits (Rev. 22:2) every month, we would not have much trouble in proving that such is the fact and experience, it's so easy and simple.  But when we get letters from all who test it out week by week, we can't fail to see it's operation.  The word...that goeth forth out of my mouth:  it shall not return...void, but...shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.  (Is. 55:11)

A River of Water of Life is more deadly and dangerous than even Noah's flood waters, for every one can either turn them to Death, or Life according to their treatment of them, while even the Leaves of the Tree will heal the Nations--people who hear.  So never fear, but go on as if there were no obstacles or people to hinder, for they can only get their death if they fail to hear.  And if it produces wicked fruit in them, then the cure is death for all such.

But His rewards will be according to what He sees in the hearts of those who hear.  Wheresoever the waters come, everything will live, but the high up land and marshes which are shut-mouthed will be given over to death and salt.

My best love in Him,

Wm. Irvine

Wm. Irvine’s Letter To:  Percy Abbott
April 23, 1929
PO Box 696
Jerusalem, Palestine

My dear Percy:

Thanks for yours March 26, 1929, and many others—It’s good that you should have all these marks for He is no respecter of persons and those who will let the Waters flow unhindered, and freely are the Banks of the River of Water of Life.

As you can see in Ezek 47: and there will be very many Trees on the Banks from the roots of the Tree of Life in the Midst of the River. So that 12 X 12 fruit and leaves for the healing of the nations are their privilege, who are shoots form my roots, as I am from His—The 1st promise to the overcomer is to eat of the Tree of Life which is in the midst of the Paradise of God—Jesus is this Tree--

But the River and Tree of Rev. 22 is the Servant on Earth, who is the Temple, Throne and Altar and Gate—and the River flows from and out of & lead all who drink to the fountain head.

Read carefully Isa. 40:--46: Chs., and not especially 41: and you can treat Isa. 42: as my photo in working Clothes and shop with the results and methods—Note Isa. 43:8-13, Ye are my witnesses, which has 2 sides—Our witness to Him and His witness to us, in its 2 fold Alpha and Omega mercy and Wrath.

This is the work of the River of the Water of Life.  It has 2 elements in it, and the word which goeth forth (The River) out of (His) mouth, and by my right hand, shall not return void, but shall accomplish that where to I send it.

It shall not return void of results, in either cursing or Blessing.  But notice what‘s said in Vs.11 of Ezek. 47:  The miry land and marshy places are given over to salt, which shows there will be no fruit or honour from God to those who mix the Water with their self motives, or all else that’s human.  Marshy may mean those who take in and don’t give out—the Waters which don’t lead to the same Spirit and root in those who hear are the foolish virgins, whom the Bridegroom will not honour in fruitful fellowship.

So its good to aim at finding the inside of the door, in fellowship with Him as surely as all triflers, secret or open will find the outside.

Isa. 44:21-28, remember is reassurance to all who are Jacob and Israel.  For Thou art My Servant, I have formed thee from the Womb.

Notice Ch. 43.25 & also 44:22 which deals effectively with all weaknesses of all who are now His Servants.  Note Vs. 26 confirmeth the word of His Servants and performeth the counsel of His Messengers.

There is no lack on God’s side, to cheer and comfort all who are truly partners with Him in these great things, in these great days when the unfertile eggs of the League of Nations (Leopard with wings of a fowl) cackle, lay and hatch, only to produce rottenness & weariness to the whole earth, while the fertile words of the prophet in Blessing and Cursing to the whole world, are being fulfilled by every tick or the clock.

So attend to the roots, as well as the River, Tree, etc.  So shall you find yourself enjoying the fruit6fulness of the inside of the door and a place on the Banks of the River with 12 x 12 fruits & leaves of above for the healing of all who will hear, for all others are under wrath, but it may only be revealed by their attitude to the Waters and witnesses.

Best love,

Wm Irvine

Wm. Irvine’s Letter To:  Loitz
April 20, 1929
Jerusalem, Palestine.

My Dear Wm., Mary, and Co.:

Thanks for yours.  I’m sure you are having plenty to feast on these days, which all is like proofs of what we have been learning, seeing, saying, and doing.  Ezekiel. 36 to 48 is all in one line, also Isaiah. 40 to 66 parallels this in a different way.  But specially 40, 41, 42, 43 and 44.  Isaiah is rich in thrills as we see the worm Jacob and Israel the few poor men of Israel - the Hope of God and Man on the earth.  When men are revealing their want of faith in the record the Book.  Specially concerning creation and Genesis.  Revelation is being fulfilled before their eyes in the destruction of the old 6th Day creation and founding the New 7th Day, and being half fulfilled makes them the more blind and the Joke the greater on all the wise and prudent of the Earth.  When they are crying and working for peace and safety to save the old creation or civilization as they call it, God is slowly wearing it down and burying it.

The League of Nations Leopard with the wings of a fowl is like a mateless chicken laying unfertile eggs and trying to hatch them.  But finding out they only become the more rotten the longer they are hatched or tested.  So the cackle of the league of Nations ends in a Joke on them; all the time and till the final and great quake which destroys Jerusalem and the cities of the nations this will go on increasing, while the words of the prophets are like fertile eggs which bring forth the new things, proving what is of God and what's not.  The Spirit Brooding over the face of the deep, brings to nought all that’s not of God; and to life, light and love, all that is of God.

Genesis. 1:1-3 is very prophetic.  In the beginning God created.  But the earth has been without form and void all these 6000 years with the Spirit brooding over the face of the deep producing sons of God to inherit the earth, and now the hatch is ready to come out of the nest and shell and be manifested on the earth.  Verse 3 says, God said let there be light and there was light.

Let, shows the part we can play in hindering or helping.  For it must ever be by our will.  To hear, obey and say, is to let there be light.  To refuse to hear, obey and say, is to remain in darkness, which to the world is light.  And God separated between the light and darkness.  So we must not try or expect to see them mix.  For fellowship between the 2 is impossible.  Those who hear will see.  Those who won’t can’t and out of the heart the mouth speaketh.  The only proof of what we receive is in what we give to others.  Darkness is always in power if we shut out the light.  We don’t need to do anything to make darkness, it is upon the face of the whole deep till light comes to dispel it and the separation takes place in the conflict between the 2 seeds.  But it’s the light of life, for we become partakers of His nature and so walk in the light as He is in the light.

The Evening and the morning were the 1st day.  For the morning reveals how dark it was, and generally the darkest hour is before the dawn, which gives us some idea of the condition of those who are most likely to hear.  People who have a good artificial light are not so eager to let the Sun light in as those who have no artificial light.  Hence the hopeless Dry bones in the valley are more likely to hear than those who are green on the hell tops or mountains.  High places, etc., where the water labor for that which satisfieth not.  You can see how little value people put on a cup of cold water today because it’s so plentiful.  But when drought comes how highly they will prize it.  Such will it be later on for the water and Bread from Heaven when all else fails, and can give them no more to hope in or for.  They have forsaken the fountain of living waters and hewed out cisterns for themselves which have no water
springing up.

Jerusalem water supply used to be mostly cistern water, caught when Rain came.  Yesterday’s paper says, Jerusalem is very short of water owing to one of the Engines having broken down which pumps.  So they get it twice per week and much bad water is being sold to the people at high prices and building work stopped for want of water.  While they have the streets torn up putting in pipes for another Co. who are to give them water.  But we look for the supply out of the Mt. of Olives when it’s split from East to West and waters flow even as does the water of life from where He and the Lamb dwell and reign.

It’s very enjoyable to see that there are very many trees growing on the banks of the River, probably shoots from the roots of the Tree of Life in the midst of the River, and also to see that the miry and marshy places or the mean and shut mouthed people are to be given over to Salt, or produce nothing even though they are near the Bank and River which flows.  This shows the danger of trying to mix up selfishness and the old mud of alpha days.  This also reminds us of the foolish and wise virgins.  For all scandals and workers of Iniquity are to be taken out of the Kingdom.  Within are they who keep the commands and so have a right to the Tree of Life, in the midst and entrance into the city.  But without are Dogs, Sorcerers, etc.

My Best Love in Him to All.

Yours very truly,

Wm. Irvine

Wm. Irvine’s Letter To:  McLarens
May 9, 1929
Jerusalem, Palestine

My dear Gordon and company,

Thanks for one from you and brother.  Nothing puts sand into a man like standing alone for God; hearing His voice, and enduring as seeing Him who is invisible.  This is what made Moses the man of God and all others who ever were any value in God’s sight, or useful to men in their day and generation.

The world religious people always boast in God hearing them because of their much speaking, but it’s the other way about.  He hears none who refuse to hear Him!  This is the heart test of all righteousness.  Not what we do, but why we do it.  Jesus said, "I thank thee, Father, for thou always heareth me, for I do always the things that please thee."  And you can apply this to all who truly and honestly hear and seek to obey, in spite of our own or others fleshly self-righteousness, wisdom and iniquity.  Excuses don’t go far in His sight or service, but are usually dope to quiet our own conscience, in having robbed Him of what He has created and redeemed, sealed and sent; and in whom alone He can dwell, walk, speak and work by.

The world was not made by things which appear, but by eternal word spoken, which brings about all things on the earth; whether of life and organism, or death and destruction, and in these days, when life and death are expressing Jesus as Omega, wrath and destruction in vengeance  on all who know not Him; and mercy in the fullest measure to all who do hear, and therefore know and are known of Him.

Israel was blessed, in hearing and keeping what He said, and cursed till they ate one another, in that they would not hear nor obey - even when He sent men to speak to their natural ears.  So read Ezekiel 37, and go to it with all your might, knowing that all else depends on that hidden secret thing, which men always despise and oppose.

My best love in Him,

Wm. Irvine

Wm. Irvine’s Letter To: Fladungs
June 20, 1929

My dear John,

Thanks for yours and money order.  It’s good to have such clear testimony from God.  The world puts much stress on what they do for God and get from God in mercy, but we know both sides; and the wrath is more often seen than His mercy.  John Lauchlin had 2 very clear cases in 2 men whom he had spoken to nearly a year ago, and who were very wild beast like, were dead in cabin of a yacht which they were breaking up.  Your case and his was about the same time.

We can’t see all that goes on, but we can always be sure He never fails to stand by His own message, no matter when, where or how given: even in weakness and fear.  The purer it is, the surer results; for to mix it with our own thoughts and ways only hinders.  And people who test it out best, whether for or against, are surest of definite results.  People often trifle with it, both in giving and receiving it; but the partnership with God truly will never fail, can not fail.  It’s in this way the ark is being prepared. And we are like the wood; and people’s attitude to us will put them inside or outside, and the day will declare it fully.  People often think it depends on what happens now only, but that is contrary to the whole spirit of the message - though we expect to have an earnest of both blessing and cursing from the minute we give clear witness, which is like putting the wood into place and building on and up.

There was only one door in the ark, and this you point to when you witness to the man.  People who would like to come in over the boards, and not by the door, will not be welcome.  Then, there is only one window in the roof of the ark, and so only one light for all who are inside: and it comes through a window.  People don’t need light through a window when they have all they need out in the sunshine.  But when the rain comes, the sunshine won't be very useful; and it rains night and day for 40 days.  So a window will be very welcome between those in and the rain, which comes on the wicked despisers of the revelation which God gave Noah, concerning the world conditions and its judgment.

People are very willing to see the condition of the world in general, but not their own condition towards God and those who bear His message!  They test themselves by outside things, rather than what goes on in the ark being built.  They might hang about, and even hand you a board; but they need to be sure of finding a place for themselves, or become a gopher board: clean, straight towards God and all who are in the ark.  For warping boards are not likely to find a place, neither crooked, rotten or knotty boards.  And the framework is even more important than the covering; and each will find place according to their value.

People who don’t want to see our face today, will see our back tomorrow, when it would become very valuable to them.  But they would not hear, nor be entreated; so they will call, and find no answer.  They will hold out their hands, and no help; because they heard not when the ark was preparing.

The fact that the King’s illness runs the dates of Noah’s story, in the coming Jewish year, is very significant.  October 5th is New Year day for Jews in coming 12th year.  This makes 22nd November the day Noah entered the ark.  April 22nd, the day the King sent out his message of thanks to the world, and appointed 16th June for Empire Thanksgiving Day; on which day the old Salvation Army General died.  They had taken the shoes off him, or the crown on his head when the King’s life was in the balance.  New Zealand had a very violent quake on that day, and 15 dead.  The natives in Durban, Natal South Africa - which is the best British colony there - were attacking Europeans on that day.  This gives us the raven gone forth from the ark.  While the dove of peace, which is the vain hope of the Western nations, was seen in General Dawes and the British Premier talking peace in the north of Scotland.  An airplane came down in English Channel, killing 7 and wounding about same number.  So Empire Thanksgiving Day was well marked, and came at Pentecost of Jews; which took place on 15 June.  And so we look for more plentiful and direct signs, but always as a snare on all who dwell on the earth.  It’s hid from their eyes.

Best love to all there,

Wm. Irvine

Wm. Irvine’ Letter To:  Mrs. Annie Noble
August 1, 1929
P. O. Box 28
Jaffa, Palestine

My Dear Mrs. Noble:

Your letter gave real joy & comfort for it helps prove that He who was dead is alive forever more, with not only the Keys of the Kingdom but the Keys of hell & of death, & that what we read  & witness, His Spirit also reveals & seals to all who hear, & hear means, as in the natural to hear that we may repeat, for dumbness is always proof of want of having ears to hear.  If people would have anything more worthy for their hearts, mind, mouth, then there would be some excuse for denying Him the fruit of our lips.

My going away at the end of my 3 ½ years with John, will do more than anything else could do, for it’s the final sealing of all (----) been, said or done, & you will rejoice in my going as I have done.  Jesus said its expedient or needful for you that I go away, for in my Fathers place on earth among men, there are many dwelling places, & that was the full purpose for which He was manifested  to destroy  the works of the Devil, & create Temples for God & Pentecost was proof that Jesus'  work has been successful in His disciples.

For greater works than He had done were done by the  greater number of those in whom God could dwell by His Spirit, speak (-) work, no better test could be  for an unregenerate heart, professing His name than to ask them to read John 14; & when you have all the funeral rubbish which is taught & practised on the people in this chapter. It makes one hope less for all such.

All who are redeemed unto God were those who let God come to dwell, walk, & work in them, & only such can ever hope to be immortal in the sense they have been useful to God here & then; for always, no matter here or there.  If ye love me Jesus said, ye will keep my words, & we will come and dwell in you, that where I am as a dwelling place of God now, there ye may be also.  John 15; comes next, the husbandman and the true vine, which alone can produce good fruit, in contrast to the wild vine professors, who in their own thots and ways in  His name, which the Father is always cutting off, just as surely as He is seeking to make us more fruitful by His Spirit.

John 16; tells them of Tribulations, but He has got over it all so shall all who are sealed by His Spirit.   John 17; is the summing up of our enemies, with Father and Son in the Spirit, this is life Eternal to know thee and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent, and we are all one in thee and thee in us.

John’s Epistles were written in defence of the sinner saints in the Churches, which the holy people wanted to put out and refuse fellowship, then his Gospel was written to prove from the words and works of Jesus, that He was the friend of the sinners, and the enemy of those who were the accuser, and all the latter epistles are written under the same conditions.

Revelation was given John as His seal from Heaven when the churches as a whole refused to have anything to do with him or his teachings, and were clambering  for his death, which was the cause for the Romans to send him to Patmos to end the trouble, You can see how comforting it was for John to have Revelation of that day when all the false seed on the earth would be destroyed, such are the tares of every age.

People who have heard the truth and received, but never let God work in them and seal it to them, but rather follow their own thots and ways, or thots of others and so outwardly are professing Xtians, but inwardly have the same accusing spirit which all the devil possessed of every age have had, which is the wide gate and broad way which the many have always entered by.   The straight gate and narrow way has begun and continued by letting God work in our own hearts and guide us by all the various life experiences, which perfect us for His service as simple men and servants of Him,. God’s human family needs humans to carry it on; so in the Divine it’s the same way, tho one being type of the other, but that which is human can never beget that or help that which is Divine the 2 Kingdoms are always at daggers drawn, & even our own flesh will always war against all that His Spirit  works in us, so that it never becomes  really  natural to serve Him, there is always opposition from our own nature, & from those who are round, so much so that people treat us as if we were criminal  when we put His interest first.  This is the true meaning of the cross for all who will be His disciples, & follow Him as He revealed.

What you say regarding binding I can well understand, but why should  we not rejoice in His victory over His enemies, when He has the Keys of death & hell, just as we would rejoice in seeing people share in Alpha Blessing, who refuse to witness & enjoy Omega cursing for all His & our  enemies, we rejoice ------------ more in Him, than in what He does.

When people have doubts about the prophet spoken of for these days, you generally find they have little trouble in swallowing a world full of false prophets, whose influence is felt on every side, every day, & in nearly every person, I could much more easily believe in one prophet, than in a 1000 or a 1000,000 for that part on earth, but every man tries to hide his own thots & ways behind those of others, as Adam hid among the trees of the garden, when the voice of the Lord God came walking in Him.

Tuch not mine anointed & do my servants no harm, is good council in the light of the terrible record of what has happened to all who ever did, just as people who have honored the false prophets got their eyes opened at death so none can escape who dishonour the true of any age, the flood was the answer to those who dishonoured Noah & his Ark.

Sodom & Gomorrah was  God’s answer to those who dishonoured Abram & Lot, the Red Sea was the answer of God to Pharoah & his host who would not hear Moses & Aaron, & the desert & wind covered all who dishonoured them.   This last part is often overlooked, not one person over 21 left in Egypt, but  was buried in the wilderness, because of their unbelief in Moses & Aaron, life and death have always been in their attitude to the prophet, & because He would not have need a prophet if the people would have ears to hear Him, which alone can give life, & which has been the test from Able to the last man in these days, & it has been false prophets & prophecy in every age, which has caused people to cease from the Living God & walk in their own thots & ways in His name.

You notice how tradition & exposition of the Book by Scribes & Pharisee has always  been the curse, & its consequences was the only way to put an end  to it & begin with God, so that when the new thing in  one day, is only a bigger measure of the old cure.

Paul was combating  the mystery of iniquity which was working in the churches in all the epistles, for iniquity  always triumphed in possessing the whole outward church in word & form, while they cast out & refuse to have those who are sealed of God, it is a mystery why God let this happen in every age, even as Cain lived after he put Able to death.

But the wicked will die in the coming 1000 years, just as the righteous died in the past 6000 years, and 2 Thes.2:  is dealing with iniquity which was claiming that the Lord might come any day or minute, just as you find it the same today.  Paul says—The Lord will not come, except  after the falling away of first 3 ½  years, when John & I witness, and that man of sin,- the anti-christ, who is to be leader of the Jews in 2nd  3 ½ years & because of his success in furthering the Jewish interest, the Jews will say, “this is our Messiah” & so make him the anti-christ , just when the end  is nigh, by the great earthquake and hail of Rev. 16:  He who letteth, will let, till he be taken out of the way, refers to the Spirit of God, hindering & opposing iniquity till the end of the age, when the spirit ceases to hinder; & so now you can see them having their own way,  Let  is an old English word which meant to hinder as far as you can , but let their iniquity be made manifest.   God has always let the Cain seed kill the Able seed, so that they might made manifest, & then judged and destroyed.

Rev. 22:4- the woman and 144,000 may all have this experience now according to their faith, but the fullness will only be when it is revealed, & the New City in the New Creation, & Him in their midst.

They may have open vision as revealed in Revelation and His Name shall be in their foreheads, who are the 144,000 & quite a necessary experience to fit them, meaning they shall see & think as He does, & as He has revealed in Alpha and Omega.

These are the things revealed which must shortly come to pass, and which we are all seeking to prepare for, these sayings are faithful & true, tho new to us He wants us to be sure & enter into them now.  Matt. 16:28 shows that with many other places that Jesus knew that John would be Co-witness and martyr at the end of the age.

This wicked generation now ruling shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled, 1 Cor. 15: 51-52 - refers to both 1st & 2nd  resurrection and experience of those who rise.  The last Trumpet may refer to the sounding of the 7th angel,- 1st of which sounded in 1914- when war began, and the 6th is about to sound for peace & safety  is to be signed on 27th or 28th of Aug. in Paris, so say they on 27th July per paper.  (The first resurrection is for those who are to rise & reign as in Rev. 20 and the 2nd is at the end of the 1000 years; for those who have been so privileged, but were children of God.  These days of binding & loosing are only revealed who are the Bride & who are the Woman who is to flee into the wilderness and who will take the place of John & I when we go.)

There is no hindering or favoring, but rather seeking to perfect all as far as possible.  You can see from Rev. 22; 17- how wide is the encouragement given.  The Spirit and the Bride & him that heareth, both may say come, whosoever is thirsty, and whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely, so you can see every one getting all he can take of blessing, just as no man can choose how much cursing He will give, so in blessing.  It depends on our words and ways being His, and on our usefulness in what’s His work for these days.

There can be no doubt, that those who have been with me all these yrs. and have got meat in due season right along, have had much privilege which others have missed, and which they can share thru those of greater privilege,  But there is no respect of persons with Him.

Those who make most use of their opportunity to hear & witness will find Him always ready to stand by them & give them freely to speak the words of life and death to all no matter what use people may make of them, thats their business.  You can see how much more difficult it was to see 14 years ago than today, and it becomes the more full & easy for all who honestly seek to listen and benefit.

The letter enclosed betrays a very zealous person for everything thats not of God, she follows the multitude to do well, and her reward is manifest in the spirit she shows.

There can never be any hope of anyone seeing by the spirit, if they cease to witness & war for Jesus, whom the Spirit alone will honour,  you have much cause to be thankful in that you have seen your Testimony  sealed, & that in your own family, you  notice this is true of Noah, Abram, but not of Lot in the same measure, you know there was a good deal of relationship in the John Baptist, Jesus & His disciples, and after among the saints, I have noticed a properly brot up family generally hang together, & especially after marriage if this is not so, then they are apt to become enemies, rather than friends, & I know nothing more destructive to all thats best in them, than a bad spirit amongst those whom God has united in the bundle of life.

For thats the reason for family life to be naturally helpful, and get the discipline which can come in no other way, which helps us in world struggle for place & bread, one bad grape in a bunch, or any thing else is apt to do more hurt than all the good ones.  The Spirit brooding over the deep, or the human family, is like a hen sitting on eggs, & you know the various possibilities in eggs to eat, to hatch, to be broken or rotten, so in human life only those whom the Spirit can regenerate, have any chance for immortality in fellowship with God, & nothing else counts now or forever.

My Best Love in Him to all who are in the bundle of life with you.

Yours very truly In Him,

Wm. Irvine

Wm. Irvine’s Letter To:  Mr. Wm. Potts
November 1, 1929
PO Box 696
Jerusalem    Palestine

My Dear Brother Potts:

I am glad to hear you are my brother  in tribulation, and hope you may become my brother in the greatest salvation ever provided or revealed, and especially for these days. You are not alone, for the world is full of people suffering.

This is God’s way of sealing the 144,000 of  Revelation 14: and preparing them for receiving His Message for today, and will gather them to Jerusalem to have it perfected, and so become the Apostles of the  New Gospel of Jesus, as you see Him in Revelation 1:- as Alpha-  What He is to His Disciples – and also Omega, what He will be to His enemies who bear the marks of Matthew 23:. So long as man can find any hope in the religious world, there is little chance for them to be thirsty enough or hungry enough for what God has provided for their salvation from all their troubles.

You cannot do better than read Isaiah 55: in the Light of what I’ve said.  “Ho (or Hello) everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the Water and he that hath no money, come ye buy (or make it your own, the same as you had paid for it) and eat, chew till it satisfies and meets all your needs. “Yea come buy wine, (or new life)  and milk (for such babes) without price”, shows it can never be had from any hirelings of any sort, or where money has ought to do with it.

Verse 2, gives you the contrast, spending money for that which satisfieth not;  hearken diligently unto me,” its the Lord speaking by His Servant whom He has made Witness, Leader, & commander. “Behold” ( see by the Spirit) “ I have given him for a Witness, to the people a Leader and commander to the people.”

Eat ye that which is good, and let your souls delight itself in fatness”.- a feast to satisfy the hungriest and most needy.  “ Incline your ear and come unto me”. The Lord by His Servant speaks, and we can either incline to, or decline the Message,  “ Hear and your soul shall live”.  You will become as much alive, as once you were dead, and know it not till life came.

“And I will make an everlasting Covenant with you, and the sure mercies of David.  “Which means you can share in all that was  promised David, and to His anointed Servant of those days.  It was all new and strange to me to find these things open up to my understanding, and ability to read what has long been hidden till the time of the end, and not till the end of the last war did I get any vision or understanding of Revelation and the whole truth for the Latter days, tho I had looked  for and listened to every man who had anything to say on the matter.

You will find Revelation and the Whole Truth for these days very simple, when you see John as writer, and a man as Reader of Revelations Message to those who will hear and keep Revelation 1: 1-3.

When the world is full of false prophets pouring out their Iniquity  or their own thots and ways in His name - His Mercy demands One who will be His mouth piece to those who will cease from their own thots and ways, which fill the earth with darkness, confusion, and strife in His name.

“My thots are not your thots nor my ways your ways”.  You have some people there who have known me for many years, and when I knew nothing of these things and tried to live and preach Jesus, in face of all the various forms of iniquity and hypocrisy  practiced for gain by so many everywhere.  They can help you understand all that your heart would desire, and shall be pleased to hear you have ears and purpose to live by my witness, Leading and control, till I see your face glad and happy some day, with your wife and family enjoying His sheltering Wings in Jerusalem, when the whole world is tasting the wrath which will convince or destroy  all others from off the earth, in preparation for the Meek to reign for 1000 years.

“ The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain till now, waiting the manifestation of the Sons of God.”  You will find it a wonderful new Book and a new world when you hear and witness, so that His Spirit may seal and guide you into all He is to His own in Alpha Mercy, and before your eyes you will see the reward of the wicked on every hand.  Psalms 91: is especially for the coming days.

My  best Love  in Him to all who bear your name.

Wm. Irvine.

Wm. Irvine's Letter To:  Sid Ring
November 9,  1929
P. O. Box 28
Jaffa, Palestine.

My Dear Sid Ring:

Thanks for your.  If you wait till the world gives you time to serve God in any shape or form, it will never come.

We serve God because its the only thing worth doing and all else comes after, same as doing the chores.  Its this condition which robs us of much true partnership with God and so reacts on our getting less rather than more.  You will find you always know more after feeding others the bread  and Water of Life.  Sinfulness covers all that is the result of God not in or controlling us, wickedness is the results of the devil being in us, so that we see, say, think and act in the way which robs ourselves and hurts others, and its nearly always done in the name of righteousness, morality or God.  The sin which can’t be forgiven is that of being the accuser and hurter of our Brother.  For if we forgive not, neither will God forgive us.  The meek who are to inherit the earth who forgive in spite of their own selfish nature because they also need forgiveness from God and others.  The wicked generally are those who are always looking for something to stumble over and be unforgiving about and  so try to hurt others.

But God is the avenger of all who forgive and leave matters in His hands.  Read Matt. 18: till you get a good clear grip of the conditions for the least and little ones, and who are the seed of the Kingdom of the Meek.  And notice that all who offend are such as will find the millstone  and deep water from which there is no escape.  All who despise such little ones will find Angel  interference  in their lives which expresses  the anger of the Father, and all who refuse the witness of 1, 2, or 3, such little ones will have binding as sure as all who honestly hear will be loosed from all their troubles and find God in them and God for them.  But let them forgive all men everything and so leave it in the Fathers hands.

My best love in Him,

Wm. Irvine

Wm. Irvine’s Letter To: Mr. & Mrs. Ritzman
November 12, 1929
PO Box 28
Jaffa,  Palestine

My Dear Ritzmans:

Thanks for your two letters.  I’m glad you find a valley full of dry bones, for such must be the experience of all who have ears for me and my Message.  But those who hear shall live and stand on their feet as sure as all others will stand where they are and perish from off the earth.  If Jesus were not on His Throne in Heaven, He would not need a man as His servant  to be mouthpiece and prophet nor would it be right to make one such unless he were a man of our own day and generation, to prove that it was possible for a man to know God and be known of God.  Then the darkness, strife and confusion and contradictions on the earth in His name, make such a man necessary to put an end to their iniquity, wickedness and hypocrisy in His name—and we don’t expect anyone to value His Servant who can find any satisfaction apart from Him.  You will find every man you speak to either loosed or bound from the moment he hears, and at His convenience   (not ours) we shall  see the results, and no man can offend the least of these little ones or despise the witness of two or three in His name and escape very definite marks for our comfort and the warning to all men who can see the results.  To offend one such, means a millstone around the neck and drowned in the depths of the sea, but we don’t  expect to see the literal millstone or drowning in the literal sea, for that would be a type of a more actual- but  watch and you will have no difficulty  in seeing cursing on all who despise, offend or refuse your witness.  I have proof from many sources every day and they come according to what the Father and Jesus with His eyes of flame can see in their hearts.  So  don’t live by what you see but what He says, sees and does.

Sometime we see men go up- rather than down, but watch and see how he comes down.  Aimie  McPherson and Keys – went up, but watch them come down. These are only samples which are scattered over the earth.

I expect you will get copies of some of my recent letters which may help to make plain and clear where we are.  Ezekiel 37: 5.  An outline of me and my work.  You saw me carried out in the Spirit of the Lord by the Lord’s hand upon me and sat me down (not up) in the midst of the valley full of dry bones.  (It was rather a trying experience to find no man who had the marks of life by the Spirit of the Lord), and caused me to pass by them round about, which explains my experiences up to Armistice and Behold, they were very many and Lo after testing them,, they were very dry.   And He said unto me, (not to the bones) “ Son of Man can these bones live?” and I answered, “Oh Lord God thou knowest.”  How could I know what to do with such conditions?  And He said unto me “Prophesy upon these bones.”  People want to know what authority I have for being the Son of Man and Prophet,-  I know, and no other is supposed to know, but such as hear my words and obey them can know by the results in themselves.  To him that overcometh, I will give the hidden manna and a white stone, and a new name written which no man knoweth, saving to him to whom given. “ Say unto them - O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.” And it can’t be had from two sources, only from one who was carried out, sat down and  caused to pass by them round about and see the general wreck and ruin caused by wickedness on the earth thru men speaking in His name without His Spirit which alone can give life.

Thus said the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you and ye shall live - and I will lay sinew upon you to keep your bones in place and will bring flesh upon you, and cover you up with skin and put breath in you (in you who live) and ye shall live.  First give us life and then give us the Spirit which makes us live, so  that others may get life from our words and witness, AND , ye shall know (then) that I am the Lord - dead bones can’t know  where or who the Lord is nor His Servant, till they get life and the Spirit seal.  So I prophesied as I  was commanded. Not as the bones would want or desire, and as I prophesied, there was a noise and behold a shaking and the dry bones came together, bone to his bone and when I beheld, Lo, the sinew and the flesh and the skin covered them and I found marks seen  on Jesus own flesh (again) on many who were but dry bones, but there was no breath in them to work or witness. So I prophesied as He commanded and breath came into them and they lived, and stood upon their feet an exceeding few so far, but to become an exceeding great army.  In Ezekiel 37: 11, He said to me: “These bones are the whole house of Israel.” Which makes it quite clear that no people on the earth today are His Israel, but such as are the product from dry bones to living souls witnessing in the Spirit and that by my words and works.

Behold, they say, our bones are very dry, our hope is lost, we are cut off from our parts ( from all else in the world ) only such as get life and Spirit can truly see who they were and how hopeless and so will value the Son of Man and Prophet all the more, but they are like people in their graves as they see death on every hand. There fore Prophesy unto them and say, “Thus saith the Lord, Behold O my people, I will open your graves(present conditions and circumstances  ) and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel, AND ye shall know that I am the Lord when I have opened your graves, O my people and brought you out of your graves (scattered over the whole earth) and shall put my Spirit in you and you shall live and I shall place you in your own land.  Then shall ye know that I the Lord hath spoken it and preformed it, Saith the Lord.  “ And whether I have been the Son of Man and Prophet or not, the rest of the chapter shows there will be no two people, but all one, and David my servant shall be King over you, not Jacob my servant of today.  And the heathen shall know That I do sanctify Israel (those who have ears to hear the Lord today) when he shall come and dwell in their midst.  It is not hard  to grasp for such as live, but quite impossible for the dry bones who have no ears to hear.

Ezek. 40: gives you my coming to Jerusalem, Chap. 47: gives you the increase in  the waters depth since 1918- 11 yrs. 4015 days or so, and so we have the waters to swim in or drown in for all.

Best love to all Your Family,

Wm. Irvine.

This is the New Thing He is doing on the Earth and no man can know about it, but they who are partakers with Him and Me, so they can’t fight against what they don’t know and can’t see.  If they are dead enough, they will be glad to hear, if not, then they perish. W. I.

Wm. Irvine’s  Letter To:  Dempters, Australia
December 15, 1929
P. O. Box 28
Jaffa,  Palestine.

My Dear Dempsters:

Thanks for your letter, I have sent on papers to be copied and sent around to some, for its appreciation for the New Gospel is good, and clear and encouraging to all who have any vision.

You will see from Sam McMullens letter what I say regarding the value of the 7 opened seals, as the strength  of our witness to the world, which covers all the various phases of wickedness on the earth, and shows how they all conspire to destroy each other.  This is the key to reading what is a riddle to the whole world, and the ground for our confidence that all that is going on, no matter what men say, think or do, is only bringing out the faithfulness of His witness, and giving us proof  that we are the good and faithful servants, in that we witness to Him and His words, in the face of the whole world, how many people there are who accept Babylon as Rome. But  the whole whore family are all one. The Dragon of  Rev. 12: is all one piece, as a woman are all one body, and there is no medium between.  What is life to the Woman is death to the Dragon.  What is honor to the Bride, is dishonor to the harlot; and what is gain to the good and faithful, is loss to the slothful and wicked servant.  The Bridegroom coming to the Bride, is the putting off of all professed fellowship with all others.  “My people in whom He can dwell can never be found in Babylon the fallen.  Come out of her my people, that ye  be not partaker of her sins and plagues. 2 Cor. 6: 14-18.

Contrasted with Rev. 18: Babylon  the great is fallen, is fallen, and become the habitation of devils and the hold of every foul spirit, a cage of unclean birds, the mother of Harlots and abominations of the earth.  These are very comprehensive words, and explain the root and fruits which make the world abominable to God and all who are His people.  If they don’t feel that way, where is their Light which is proof of their Life.  How vain and foolish are all attempts which justifies anything which bears the old taint, and I fail to have any regard or sympathy with any of it’s influence and is fatal to all help that would take away from what has reached unto Heaven, an abomination and bringing Judgement.  How worthless and purile is the Alpha  Testimony of Jesus, when He is the Alpha and Omega of Rev. 1: and all attempts  to get away from this can only be suicide, and it’s here where the Cross comes in today, and the possibility  of being good and faithful or wicked and slothful.  They would like the supper of the Kings Son, but the great  supper  of  Rev. 19: 17-21, is the other side; and how can people expect to share in one, and refuse to witness to the supper of the Great God in flesh of Kings, Captains, Mighty men, horses and riders, free and bond, great and small?  You notice how many try to claim the coming in Glory and refuse the wrath of every kind on every hand, and fail to see it, and witness directly to it, it can only weaken.  That  this should have been made the test for all His people is surely a good test of self-righteousness, and that which is of God.  The inside and outside of the camp. The place and condition where men consider worthy of a place, or worthy of death for our witness.  And I suspect weakness,  and failure to get most depends on this mark, and this has been my observation in all.  People are apt to treat it as a joke, and proof of our crazyness  but when we go on with it in detail, it becomes evident by their look, words and action, that it bores, hurts and stirs up their hatred even in wishing us the very thing we say are spoken and being fulfilled towards the whole world.  The truth He spoke which led to the cross, surely leads the same way for us when we witness to its being fulfilled.

But they are powerless to do us harm, being under His care, and the millstone and deep waters awaits all who will offend us for our witness or despise us, or reject our word.  It helps to give us better grip of Matt. 18: when we see the way of the least and the little ones, and the special care taken over them, compared to others and in other days.  Crops and weather conditions are the worst in memory and financial and industrial every where getting more serious, and especially since Nov. 11th when they are only beginning  to “smell a rat” as it were, and as we see so many indications of in the press in various forms and shades.

My best love, and the compliments of the season to all,

Wm. Irvine

Wm Irvine’s Letter to: Cummings

My dear Wm. Cummings:

Thanks for yours and that to Ollie which I have read carefully like 100’s of other productions which only proves that what and when God hides no man finds out.  Jesus rejoiced in Spirit and said, Father I thank thee that thou has hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them to Babes and sucklings.  The best thoughts of the best men and scholars of all ages, called orthodoxy, or wisdom, is foolishness with God and the light which is darkness.  Men have no more power to understand what’s of God than an animal has to understand our political wisdom or Philosophy.  When you take a good look at Nicodemus who was the “acme” of all that was manly, even his human qualities made him come at night.  He was a Jew, a Pharisee, a Scribe, and a Ruler of the Jews, and thought he knew.  But Jesus told him, Except a man be born from above he cannot see, and then he began to show his learned ignorance.  But he was honestly deceived and did not know it.  But got the help which could not come from any other source than a man through whom the Spirit of God could speak, and though slow to confess it, became a disciple and learned from God at the lips of a man.  The man Jesus, whose reputation and social standing and education or ignorance made it very hard for Nicodemus to hear.  You notice that Jesus when asked questions by Lawyers and Rabbis, etc., answered them by giving then proof that the Spirit was in Him as the Christ or anointed of God.  He did not answer them in their own cunning craftiness; and such was my answer to your question – all the prophets and apostles of all time are in Heaven, and Jesus the prophet, apostle, priest, and King in their midst as you can see in Rev. 4 and 5.  But the prophet spoken of by Peter in Acts is a man on the earth of this generation at the End of the Gentile age, who is to be mouthpiece of God, Jesus and the Spirit to all men in the Times of the Restitution of all things.  All who hear and obey his reading of Revelation and the truths for these latter days will live and find provision and protection as in Psalm 91, when the wicked Scribes and Pharisees of the Gentiles are dying like flies on every side till not one is left on the face of the whole earth.

Through the whole Book runs two threads of truth.  Like a scarlet thread, all that speaks of Jesus; and like a linen thread all that speaks of those who have been the anointed of God for any age, but specially for the end of the Gentile age.  He shall not strive nor cry, neither shall his voice be heard in the streets till he hath brought forth Judgment to the Gentiles, refers to the work going on today.  Jesus is to sit at His Father’s right hand till His enemies are put under His feet.  What John the Baptist was to Jesus at the end of the Jewish age, I am today at the end of the Gentile age.  Among those that were born of women there hath not risen a greater than John, nevertheless, he that is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he – referring to the Least one of Matt. 18 and Matt. 25.  Inasmuch as ye did it to one (not 2) of the Least of these my brethren, ye did it or did it not to me, and there can only be one Least.  Your lawyer sense can tell you that, and all men who have any sort of pretence to being Godly will be revealed either as Sheep or Goats.  For or against God and revealed by their attitude to the Least.  Goats will see that all the world’s false harlot-hearted hireling hypocrite prophets are looked after well, but that’s only negative.  The positive is their attitude to one who is the Least of these His Brethren with a world full of false prophets climbing up in reputation and position amongst religious.  What better thing could God and Jesus do that gives us one who is the Least as the Test for all who have ears to hear the voice of the Shepherd which is the only proof that a man is a prophet; and only sheep can know the Shepherd or those who have got the Lamb nature.

Your letter to Ollie will do more to convince her that I am the prophet than anything else could do, for it’s a very tangled skein you offer her, mixing up the Scarlet and Linen Skein of truth till it’s a mess of confusion such as one would expect from attempting to unravel 2 skeins in darkness or Sepulchre.

When did the Scribes and Pharisees of any age know the prophet of their day?  Did Cain know Abel?  Or the sons of God know Noah?  Or the Sodomites know Abram or Lot, or the Egyptians or Israel know Moses?  And so on to Jesus.  It has always been the same Lord speaking by the Spirit in old and new Testament.  But He spake concerning Himself and it has all been fulfilled in His coming.  But the same Lord spake of another man, His Servant whom he would send and anoint to be His mouthpiece in the Judgment of the Gentiles and the world as a whole.  Read Isaiah 41 to 66 and you will find Him speaking about this man and those who hear him, called Jacob the worm and Israel the few men and poor in men’s eyes.  The Least and Little Ones of Matt. 18.  If you were to attempt to read the 4 Gospels and no man Jesus Christ, it would be a muddle.  So today – to attempt to read the Book and specially Revelation, which is the program for Judgment of all Nations, you only get into deeper darkness and gross darkness which covers the people.  What the Scribes and Pharisees of Jesus’ time made the Scriptures concerning the coming of Jesus as Alpha, the Gentile Scribes and Pharisees of today make the Scriptures concerning Jesus coming from Heaven and His Servant on the earth who is to prepare His way, and set up His King, and gather a people to welcome Him at His coming to reign with the meek on the earth for 1000 years.  The light which comes from all the Theologians on the earth and all their literature and exposition of the Book or recorded words of the Prophets is only darkness – and gross darkness to the people – and if the light which is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness.  If ever you have any honest hunger or thirst for what comes from God to meet your present and future needs, just read what the Lord says in Isaiah 55, and put my name in it as the Ho man or mouthpiece and you will then be able to know by experience that the Lord has made me His Witness, Leader and Commander, and it will solve all your doubts and fears and fill you with hope and Joy and be a real Xmas to you.

My best love in Him to you,

Wm. Irvine
