Wm Irvine’s Letter to:   Lee
January 21, 1931

My dear Wallace:

Thanks for yours.  It’s good to see that from several quarters we have had the same marks of trying those who have ears to hear, and though all suffer somewhat, those who fail in forgiveness will suffer MOST.  It’s no small matter to get perfected in being to others what God is to us.  You can see the Lord’s Prayer covers all our needs, and no doubt was special for these and coming days as never before.  Forgive as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into trials, such as you have had, but deliver us from evil – or accusation and scandal of others and from others.  This is the washing our robes and making them white in the Blood of the Lamb, in contrast to the serpent seed, who dip in the great red cauldron of the Dragon’s blood, in being the accusers and scandalizers of others for their sins.

You can see how God created scandal and accusation of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus in His being born in a stable of a Virgin, spoused to Joseph, to reveal the secrets of men’s hearts who worshipped Him in Heaven and were the piercers of Him on the Cross.  He was the Prince of Life, the Tree of Life, which the Devil keeps people from hearing, eating, drinking, and living, by scandal and accusation of every possible kind.  For the flaming sword is in His Hand, turns every way to turn all who will give ear or mouth to scandal, from hearing the word of eternal life.  The scandal of Jesus’ Birth which Joseph, Mary and Jesus suffered is well marked in the scandal of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus.

Mary, the sinner of Jerusalem, whom they brought to Jesus, taken in the act of adultery, whom they said should be stoned, according to the Law.  He that is without sin let him cast the first stone, put them all to flight.  Where are thine accusers?  They have all gone.  When the Finger of God wrote condemnation in every heart.  Neither do I condemn thee, go and sin no more.  John 8.  The next time you see her, is at Jesus’ feet, washing His feet with her tears and wiping them with her hair, while Simon the Pharisee sat stricken dumb with his own self-righteous accusing heart.  Then you see Mary at Jesus’ feet sitting drinking more of the Living Waters she had tasted on two other occasions; while Martha is rebuked for her less desire to drink, which is the better part for all, and often very much hindered by self-righteousness – or being less a sinner than others.

Then you see Mary anointing His Body with Ointment for the day of His Burial.  While Judas and the disciples are in there saying it was waste and should have been sold and given to the poor.  So you have the scandal God produced as a snare to catch the wicked hypocritical world, and scandal of Mary, Martha and Lazarus.  Mary being the cause, and the others forgiving and sharing; and thus you see God’s purpose being wrought out on the Earth before men.  Jesus said, “Wherever this Gospel is preached, it shall be told of her (Mary the sinner) that she hath done this,” which reveals that the persons who will most value Jesus’ Blood and the forgiveness of God, are those who know most of what it is to be a sinner in the eyes of men Holy and Righteous.  Jesus said He was anointed to preach the Gospel to poor, broken-hearted prisoners, blind and bruised – or suffering from the wickedness of the Devil and his seed.  How can we truly turn from the god of this world to the God of Heaven, if we have not tasted of their wicked scandal and accusation?  He sent His disciples to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.  So be humbly glad you have been tried and the means of trying all others who claim the love of God, the death of Jesus, and the comfort of the Holy Ghost.

My love in Him to you and Alma,

Wm. Irvine

Wm. Irvine's Letter To:  Dunbars
March 6, 1931
P.O.  Box 696
Jaffa, Palestine

My dear Dunbars:

We have peace in India reported this morning.  Some of the papers in England say it's British surrender.  Others laud it as the greatest event since 1918, Nov. 11.  And along with that, we have the report of success of the USA, England, French, Italian and Japanese disarmament pact.  So you see we are ready for another stage and can watch and see whether the Kings and Rulers all mighty and high are greater than the Most High and Almighty, while His Anointed on the Earth are the Least and Little Ones-queer combination, is it not?  I wonder how we would stand the test if we were offered Hoover or King George's place on the Earth.  Would we be strong enough to feel that our leastness and littleness, which links us to the Most High and Almighty, was more than all the Kings and Rulers of the Earth could give us; and when we see the One who is Least is to be the separator of sheep from Goats in all the nations on the Earth?  And what men are to him, they are to the Most High and Almighty, is a real and simple test for all men.  So there is very little to tempt men in the way of flesh and blood, on which their salvation depends.

This makes the Strait Gate and Narrow Way much more than words, or doctrine, or profession.  But suits every honest heart on the Earth today, when the Wide Gate and the Broad Way seems less inviting than it ever did, and the clouds compel people to seek a shelter from
the coming storm, as we have seen in reality so many times.

"Behold I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my Voice and open the door, I (Jesus) will come into him and sup with him and he with Me,"  so giving Him a home in our heart and life becomes a very simple and practical solution of all our difficulties.  Surely the Passover becomes the more simple and easy to understand, for He can never allow His destroying angels to touch the home where He can dwell.  But it makes the matter the more responsible for us to see that we trifle not; for all such will find that what they are to Him, He will be to them.

You will find the last Epistles in the book-James, Peter I and II, and John I, II and III, and Jude are all specially for the later days; and so I commend you to a read of them for all.  1st  Peter 3, 4, & 5 are very good and useful.  I Peter 4:7 says "But the end of all things is at hand; be ye therefore sober (or sane) and watch unto prayer.  And above all things, have fervent (or hot) charity among yourselves.  For charity will cover a multitude of sins both in ourselves and others. 1st Peter 2,3,4,& 5 will be enough for all meantime, and give any honest heart a chance of knowing what will help them,, and what hinders His presence and power in them, by them, and for them.

I Peter 3:8-15 is wonderful to all who want the very best in life.  He that will love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lips that they speak no guile-or words to deceive his own or others' hearts.  Let him eschew evil, or refuse to speak it or hear it, and do good.  Let him seek peace, and ensue-or go after it; for the eyes of the Lord are over the Righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers.  But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, or try to hurt by word or action, others.  Verse 8 is very good"  Finally Brethren, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another.  Love as brethren.  Be pitiful to each other and courteous.

Fancy a fisherman saying these things!  But it was proof that the Spirit of God was in him, with him, for him, and by him.  And these words and the whole of the later Epistles in the Book is like a looking glass for all who would seek to be worthy of His smile and favor when the time is at hand.  So there is no room for presumption of any kind in these very dark days, if we would enjoy His very best.  Luke 21:34-38 is very simple in warning us from dangers that may rob us of our God-given privileges today.

To love the Lord thy God with heart, soul, mind, and strength is the best we can do.  And the test is to love your neighbor as yourself.  The words of Jesus puts it simple when He says, "whatsoever ye would like men to do to you; do ye likewise to them." So that even our own nature guides in how to treat others.

The wrongness of others is not meant to make us wrong; for if one gets run over by car and smashed up, we should think it right to help him have his wounds dressed and fixed, because we would like him to do this to us under similar conditions.  And because we have only one Master and He is rewarder, it's our job to do all and be all we can, in order to have His smile and be able to look Him square in the face and know that He will hear and answer our prayers, which are more valuable to us and the world than all else ever can be.

For we are dealing with the Most High and the Almighty One tho we may be but the Least and Little Ones in men's eyes, and are also His Witnesses to men and the hand and voice that knocks for His admittance to sup with us and we with Him.  And Sup means a guest.  He shares with us, and we with Him.  These are the greatest facts in the world today, so put them to the test and enjoy the results.

My love to all who may read this when copied.

April 23, 1931
PO Box 28
Jaffa, Palestine

My Dear Walter, Olive and Co:

Thanks for many with photos of the baby and your school history, which I got yesterday.  I'm glad you all move on so well in spite of so much dust and noise from His victorious march alone on the Earth, in the greatness of His strength. Decked out in His Rev. 1 glorious apparel, in subduing unto Himself all His enemies and conquering the Earth for the meek, who are to inherit it forever; for the day of vengeance is in His heart and the year of His redeemed has come. If it has taken 17 years and 160 million victims of our warrior King in wars, rumors of wars, quakes, famine, pestilence to convince His puny, blushing Bride that He is her Omega Bridegroom, as well as her redeemer and Savior, the Lamb of God whom we know only as the white robed at the right hand of God.

It makes us blush to think how He has had to do it alone, and without help or upholding by any, and even a very faint and feeble witness from the few who are His redeemed.  It leaves us but little room to boast but in Him who travels the Earth in the greatness of His strength, might to destroy His enemies. But might - all mighty to save her, and get her, and cherish His redeemed by ear and blood from amongst men.  Read and enjoy Is. 63:1-6, and surely we have much to rejoice in as we see our avenger at work on all our enemies, and you can be sure He will not hurt a hair on the heads of His own well beloved hearers and doers. Though we may find trying on our ears and the dust of battle in our noses, and plenty of weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth around us as He crashes His way in vengeance and fury from place to place, or in divers ways and places, planting His footsteps on the Sea and riding on the storm. While we stand on the Sea of Glass, as it were, watching His coming to claim His Bride and earth for His redeemed by blood and power.

The Song of Moses in Deut. 32 is words to our heart music, as we sing the song of the Lamb's victory over all His and our enemies. Every disaster and calamity reported in the press should be a cause of joy and rejoicing to us, as it means defeat and mourning to all our rebel neighbors. So Ps. 146 to 150 are necessary to give us the courage to share in His victories by all His strength and the forces of nature and angels who are His warriors, while we look on and know that He is coming by leaps and bounds to us as our beloved. Last verses of Song of Solomon. So let them say, or do or be what they would to us, we know He is ours and we His, and nothing can ever separate all who are truly for Omega, and witness to Him as such, no matter how feeble that witness may be.

He is conquering and to conquer till all is His, and we His Bride.  What a comfort and joy to Him it would have been all these 17 years, if we had been like good, loyal pals, shouting "atta boy" every time He made a good run and hit or won home. But He had to do His work for us with only a weak wail from behind the wall, or under the spectator's seats, while He was conquering for us the Earth for our inheritance and driving out the enemy and burning them by the millions. Yes, we will all say, "Praise the Lord" when the battle is won, and the Bride, blushing behind her fan is led to share His victory.

Ain't we some chumps to be almost afraid to squeak louder than our dry shoes, when He destroys by war, quake, famine or pestilence, and often we go to bed, lest anyone should hear us praise Him for His great Omega victory over His enemies. You can see how much He enjoys even the faintest appreciation of His work for us, and how surely He will recompense to any, those who would put their hand on our mouth when we want to mention His name as Omega, vanquishing His enemies and taking possession for us of the Earth, they, the wicked, have so long usurped in honoring every name but His, who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and made us Kings and Priests unto God and our Father, so don't be afraid to give Him an "atta boy" when He deserves it, and that will be everyday, even if the crowd laugh and jeer, it will cheer Him and make Him hit all the harder and travel the faster.

My Love to all there,

Wm. Irvine.

P.S.  I notice New Zealand is quaking after 48 days, as He plants His Carpenter feet as He strides on to His Throne on the Earth, and it is Heaven and we share in His victory, even though we lay under the grandstand and squeaked His praises up our sleeve.

Edward Cooney’s Letter To: Wm Irvine
May 2, 1931
1 Kingscourt St. Belfast
Northern Ireland

My dear William,

Every time I ponder on the influence of God's Spirit upon my heart drawing me to God since that day I was born of water and of the Spirit, I can see God planned I should meet you, and by your lips hear words that helped me to understand better God's purpose in calling me, viz., that I should be conformed to the image of his Son and be built on the Rock of revelation from the Father to every simple-minded child of Adam, who like Peter desires to know and become like Christ the Son of the living God.

Christ will not build on any other foundation; and although flesh and blood may be a medium through which the Father, by his indwelling Son through the Spirit, may reveal, yet all such revelation must come to each individual child of God direct from the Father and thus be ratified as the Rock upon which Jesus Christ, the builder, builds.

The Bereans received Paul's word with readiness, daily examining the Scriptures to see if these things were so. Many therefore from among them believed the revelation that had come from God through his Son in Paul by the Spirit, because they examined the Scriptures. And they being of the babe, simple-minded class got revelation from the Father that the things spoken by Paul were so.

Those who begin to build on this Rock of the Christ, the Son of the living God, progressively revealed by the Father, need to continue to be subject to such revelation so as to be built up as part of the spiritual house Peter wrote of (1 Peter 2:5). How sad if one who, like Paul, had had this privilege should seek to occupy the place the Father alone should occupy, and claim that what comes from his lips or pen is Rock revelation, apart from its being ratified in the Holy of Holies from Christ's Father in Heaven to his seeking child.

I am afraid that a number of my fellow labourers have lost sight of this and have yielded to the Nicolaitan spirit, and thus have conquered some of God's people and caused them to become subservient to them. Dr. Schofield, although himself a cleric, has in his translation of the Bible given the true meaning of Nicolaitan, viz., conquereds of the people, from the Greek Nicao to conquer and laos the people. He gives this note regarding them: "They were the beginning of a priestly order that afterwards became the clergy, and divided a hitherto equal brotherhood into two parts, priests and laity." This discovery is interesting to me in the light of recent happenings. Why God hates the deeds of the Nicolaitans is because it gives man the place God alone should have.

I have been pondering on what John has written in Revelation and sent to each angel of the seven churches that they may each read the manuscript containing the message that they as angels or messengers were responsible to convey to the churches to whom the Lord sent the message by them through John (Rev. 1:3). "Blessed is he who reads." This would be true of each angel or messenger afore-mentioned, and also true of all who can read this revelation in the Spirit, because of being in the right hand of Jesus, and then pass it on to those who had ears to hear, and who through hearing would be blessed.

John in writing to the assemblies or churches addressed them as thee and thou. Then in Rev. 2:7: "He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies." "To him that overcometh" is clearly addressed to the assembly telling him that hath an ear to hear, and as a consequence overcome, that the Lord would give to him to eat of the tree of life etc. The same is true of verses 11 and 17 where the promises are prefaced by the same words. Therefore to hold that the promises of a pebble white on which a new name is written, which no one knew but he that received it, is only for one individual and no other, is a perversion of the meaning of the passage which clearly holds out the promise to all overcomers in that assembly, in fact to all who thus overcome in any assembly then and now.

I have also thought about the two witnesses in Rev. 11, said in verse 4 to be the two olive trees and the two candlesticks standing before the Lord of the earth. The candlestick in Zech. 4 seems to be the Jewish church, and in Rev. 1:12 the Gentile church. The two candlesticks of Rev. 11:4 seem to be the Bride composed of the Jewish and Gentile churches, spoken of under the symbol of two candlesticks, and two olive trees, and spiritually called two witnesses. So it would seem that the Bride clothed in bridal sackcloth will be martyred like her Bridegroom and be caught up after martyrdom. This agrees with Rev. 13:11-15. This is to take place in the great city spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where her Lord was crucified, Sodom standing for fleshly sinners, Egypt for commercial, worldly sinners, and Jerusalem for religious sinners. In Jeremiah 5:14 it reads: "I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them." Compare Rev. 11:5. Fire goes out of their mouth and devours their enemies, and, in fact, in many parts of Revelation, terms are used in figure and need to be spiritually discerned.

At present we seem to be passing through a time typified by the fourth seal (Rev. 6:7-8). The opening of the fifth seal would speak of the time that Christ's Bride is martyred and joins those already gone before. "Their fellow servants" would be the two olive trees and "their brethren" the two candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth. The two prophets symbolizing the saint and sent one prophetic witnesses of the two candlesticks, and the two olive trees, or sons of oil, who stand by the Lord of the whole earth (Zech. 4:11-14). The opening of the sixth seal then comes, which speaks of judgment preceding Christ's millennial reign spoken of in Rev. 11:15.

Hope your health keeps good, and that as you at one time preached most clearly Christ who is the Alpha, so again you may preach the same Christ who is the Omega, progressively revealed from Alpha to Omega by the Father. The Alpha of his birth becomes known to us when born from above. Then as the power of his resurrection is known, we may become to his death conformed. This being for us as it was the Omega for him, so that we, like Paul, may become a key of the knowledge of Him, He being the only key of knowledge to the Father.

Last night I paid a visit to two women, one of whom had been much helped by you in the early days, but she spoke of being greatly disappointed in the course things took afterwards, not in your manner and teaching, but in that of others. She said something to me that confirmed me in the belief that I am contending for the faith once delivered to the saints. She said: "I was much reminded of Wm. Irvine and what I heard from him when I heard you preach in the open air." She said the truth was sweet to hear like what it was when she heard it from your lips. I was much gratified to hear this. But she seemed much disappointed to learn that you now preached another gospel.

I said to her my hope was that, like Samson, your hair might grow again and the power of God might return to you, and that more might be slain of the Lord through you at your death than during your life. She has been diving into Tom Payne and Ingersoll, but I think there is hope of her again being won by the truth that delighted her when she first heard it from your lips, and which attracted me by its sweetness as I have never been attracted before or since.

The wine of flattery which some would give is deadly. I find that to be considered an enemy of God's people by some of God's children overruled to humble me, and hope that, like Paul, I shall yearn after those who thus look upon me.

This flesh and blood revelation Satan has given you of another gospel which he stamps with the name of Omega in order that it may seem to be of Christ is misleading you and others through you. Hoping that you may return and be restored to stand before God so that separating between the precious and the vile your mouth may be God's mouth.

Wm Irvine’s Letter To:  Adams
June 7, 1931
Jerusalem, Palestine

My dear Adams:

Thanks for yours.  I hope you are feeling better and finding your Omega--Revelation 1--panoply in Jesus, equal to all the attempts and attacks from the Piercers, and opportunity for victory only.  For tho it seems new and strange to the world, we know the world has become as good for us, as it was so long looked upon as the Paradise of the Wicked.  For all the power of the Godhead is busy every day making the world a fit place for God’s hero meek to dwell in and on, while it gets hotter and more troublesome for all others.  They don’t and won’t believe it, but we will see it with our eyes, fulfilled beyond our expectation.

The Sixth Day Kingdom began in Genesis with a man and woman; so in Revelation, it begins the Seventh Day Creation on Earth with a man and woman, taken out of the man, to surround him and bring him forth in the panoply of power to deal with all His and our enemies.  That he is only human, is seen in the fact that it takes two, John and I, to be His Servants (Witnesses) supplying both the Heavenly and earthly, (perfect witness) lest men should think or say the Manchild is Jesus, rather than a man as Moses was with Aaron to speak.  One a Gentile; the other a Jew, but both redeemed from amongst Jew and Gentile, when their cup was full and judgment had come.

I had at my table the Director of Antiquities in Jerusalem, and Theodore McGowan, the young man who is, in the world’s eyes today, as the discoverer of the 30,000 year old baby skull found at Athlib, 10 miles from where I write.  These men got the fullest outline of present truth of any I have met in Palestine the 11 ½ years, tho I didn’t know they were being the most honoured in their profession.  They did not, so far as I know, discover the Manchild, though they may, later on, remember when its fulfillment takes place.

The child brought forth (not yet) is more important, a million times, than the baby skull they say is 30,000.  But it’s good to find God bringing them face to face with the past evidence of His wrath, in destruction, under the very nose of the man who is to rule the nations with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces as potter’s vessels, which they dig up to see how thorough was the work of destruction in other days.

Then, we had the chief woman Director of Welfare of Women and Children here for 1 ½ days, so I had quite a good chat with her, who had been at the Director’s home over the weekend.  So the two events together make me believe He was in both events and my opportunity; for it’s difficult to estimate how much pleasure He gets out of our witness to the nations, as they make their cross for the general crucifixion and ending of their pride and audacious wickedness.

I hope you had a good go with the Nicolaitains, but will find the strong end is not in the antiquities of the Testimony, but in our present invulnerable position and condition, when the whole world is wailing itself in the death throes.

The Pope’s Evangelical Letter and the challenge to the Socialist world, or the pink Bolshivism of Revelation 9:1-10, now well-revealed in what has happened in Spain, Rome, China--the Socialists Congress in Germany, ask two questions:  Is world depression the sign of the end of capitalism?  And is Bolshivism the flower and fruits for hope of coming days?  Both questions betray the mind of the Socialist world, but only adds to our confidence that His work is being advanced rapidly in the ripening of the nations for conflict, drought, pestilence and the plagues.

So give your enemies the full affect of the changes, all in our favor, and don’t try to convince Cain, but try to find Abel, no matter how much he may be hid from your eyes.  For He will always respond to the mind and Message of the Spirit.

My love to all 3 and all others,

William Irvine

Wm. Irvine's Letter To: Grubers
June 13, 1931
Jaffa, Palestine

My Dear Grubers;

Thanks for yours June 16, 1931    it’s good to hear that it works for this is the practical test.  If you want to build a temple and destroyed it ( as they thought) but  He rose and is at God’s right hand  with all power in Heaven and on earth, and now since 1914 you see Him destroying all such people who dwell on  the earth and want people to believe that God has to do with building of  the stone and lime and all their various  trappings as they masquerade before men in the power of the spirit  or the wicked one.  Aimee McPherson & Ethel Duncan & Co. can show you how not to do it.

Isa.66 begins “Where is the house or temple ye build unto me, and  these things  I have made, unto this  man will I look for my Temple.   Unto him that a poor & contrite in heart, or who lives on my thought & ways, and refuses all his own thought  & ways & him that trembleth at my words, so I offer you a new pattern in being the Least on the earth, but the man in whom He dwells, & by whom He speaks Living words to all who will hear and obey, but you want to be a temple, so here is how He has fixed  (  ) for  you.

“Behold”  ( or see by what I tell you from the Book & message  of Rev.  “Behold” I, Jesus as Alpha & Omega, stand at the door of a man or woman knocking for all He is  worth  by all the things you see going on in what  since 1914 & now more loud than ever to awaken man to the fact that Jesus  as come as  Alpha & Omega - a New thing for the whole world, & to reveal  where His  Spirit is & is not - revealing the Ungodly hypocrisy on the earth in all their temple worship.  If any man or whosoever will be awakened by the knocking  & hear my Voice & recognize who is behind all the knocking & wailing in the world.  I, Jesus the Alpha & Omega will come in and make my home in him - and with him, & he shall find his home in Me or sup with Me and so you have built a temple in a few minutes which He lives in, & you live in Him & by Him, & you walk together all the time you’re willing to make Him feel at home with you, & He does the same to you, and this is not theory, but plain practical facts, & all the Scriptures tells you about the few who did this, & it’s for you as much is for me, & I’m not afraid of you robbing me, nor me robbing you.  Is this not worth coming all the way from Oregon hungry & broke?  I’ve been like that for 40 years & I’m not dead yet, & sooner the man is up against it the better & quicker the true temple of God can be made by letting the neighbors know who dwells in your temple, & what His business is on the earth.

How much does it cost and how much to keep it up?  Nothing! It’s free full & forever, only be honest & sincere to Him, and there is no question asked about past, present or future.   He will attend to it all & He don’t & won’t dwell in a Scribe & Pharisee, nor do I ask any recognition for giving you the tip of how to build a temple like my own, for I have no patent rights, seeing He was the first to reveal how to become a temple for the Living God.  Freely we receive & freely give-  is the law in His Kingdom.

You will find increasing numbers who hear the knocking  & need to hear the Voice & open to let Him in.  If a known or unknown  millionaire came to a poor man’s house & knocked at the door & spoke & came, would we not think it would change things if he came to dwell & we refused to mention or honor his name?  But the person who comes is worth a world full of millionaires, for He has all power in Heaven & on the earth.

My love to you all,

Wm. Irvine.

S. Open the door, don’t try to see thru the door, He will make all clear and plain as you talk and  walk Him in you and you in Him.  Don’t argue, and always seek His welfare and interests—He will not neglect you but perfects as His dwelling place and you will tremble at His word, can’t help speaking about Him and for Him and by Him.

Wm. Irvine's Letter to:  Sessions
July 10, 1931
Box 28, P.O.
Jaffa, Palestine

My dear Sessions & Co.:

Thanks for yours 12/6/31.  It's good to appreciate both ways and space between.  Victory is in the air all around His enemies, so don't always expect to be able to keep perfectly cool.  Isaiah 24 surely makes the world sit up and take notice; and Isaiah 25 makes us exalt and praise His name, so there is room for a little excitement.

When so vast and widespread is His power manifested in wrath.  The more we can grasp what's in each of these chapters from 24 to 28, the more wonderful.  We will be made to see His full power against all His enemies and for all who are His disciples and more; for Revelation 3:20 shows that we receive Him as Alpha and Omega, so that He sups with us and we with Him-- which is a mild sort of way of showing that we become His Bride, and He, our Bridegroom; called, chosen, and faithful--the Lamb's wife.

Even our feet and hands have not been made as perfectly nice as we could wish them to be.  When a bride don't clean up when married, she may only reveal the presence of love, or [it] may be bad training.  But He puts up with a lot if the heart purpose is there to let Him come to sup with us, and we with Him.  We are apt to think it's "what we deserve, we get," but it's quite the opposite way.  It's what He delights to be and do for us, out of a heart and mind which knows no selfish purpose or motive, that we may become as He--or one with Him.  Our needs are only His opportunity to reveal more fully His love and power.  And you can see how no selfish THOTS of man can ever adequately guide us into enjoying His best forever.  They must come from Him to us, so that a hearing ear and obedience is the greatest luxury we can offer Him.  This is faith; all else is BLUFF OR INIQUITY.

Psalm 40 is for the Bride, and you can see how sacrifice and offering, He did not require.  Mine ears has thou digged open.  And now the proof we are His is that we delight to do His will.  His love is within our hearing hearts--Verses 6 to 8--and we preach righteousness of this kind in the great congregation, or wherever found.  So "I have not refrained my lips O Lord; thou knowest" shows how much joy we get, and He with us, and others thru us who may care to share the blessing.  And even the world of wrath to others only enhances it.

Psalm 45 is the witness of the Bride to the Bridegroom and her experience is green at the end.  And 13-17 becomes more wonderful as we enjoy our relationship.  My heart is indicating, or boiling and bubbling up with good matter.  I speak of the thing, which I have made touching the King.  My tongue is the pen of a ready writer that don't need to stop for want of living words to write.  Thou art fairer than the children of men.  Grace is poured into thy lips; therefore is proof that God hath blessed thee forever.

Verse 10: Hearken O daughter and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house.  So shall the King greatly desire thy beauty, for He is thy Lord; and worship thou Him.  These are wonderful and true of all who are truly His and obey in seeking to please Him, who is worthy.

So don't measure your relationship to Him by the desolation being wrought around you in wrath, as He prepared a place for Him and His on the Earth.  What He says happens whether in blessing to His own, or in destruction to His enemies.  And he enjoys seeing us fearlessly speak the words He puts in our mouths to all men.  Whether they mean life or death depends upon the words of their mouths.

My love in Him to all

Wm. Irvine

Wm Irvine’s Letter To: Warren Hooper, Tacoma, WA
October 18, 1931
Box 696
Jerusalem, Palestine

My dear Warren:

Thanks for yours.  I note your past experiences, all of which may have been preparing you for being thirsty for the Waters of Life.

The Goats of Matthew 25 will be satisfied with the old religious cackle so common to humanity, but Revelation, as read by the Reader, when received and obeyed, will prove itself to all who honestly hear it.  For if we let Him come into us by His Spirit, we will soon find out that the Spirit will give us words, understanding, and wisdom.  This is the only way we can be sure I am the Prophet.  The Sheep are to have eternal life, or know God, and be known of God; just as the Goats are to be given over to cursing and everlasting fire.  And this is not a future matter, but NOW.  And, day by day, all can prove it either way.

He is the Judge, and cannot be fooled in the matter, so be sincere and honest, and find out His mercy to meet all your needs, and lead you in the way where people can see He is your Shepherd and King.

My love in Him to self, and all others Who are the Sheep of His fold,

William Irvine

Wm. Irvine’s Letter to:  Skerritts
December 11, 1931
Jerusalem, Palestine

My dear Bob and Minnie,

Thanks for yours, 13/11/31.  It’s good that they all benefit when they hear, and so see where danger and safety lie.  And it will become increasingly manifest who are wise and who are foolish, and who are the good and who are the wicked servants.  And you can be quite sure the wise and good will feel their unworthiness more than the other, for audacity is one of the surest marks of Devil possession in the whole world.  The shame of our nakedness covers all their revealings.  Two things stand out more clearly in Jesus’ Alpha witness; that of never having a word of condemnation or accusation for the sinner, and never having but that for the wicked, righteous accusers of their brethren and others --men’s sins producing in them the condition which only God can meet, as they stood in the very way of such a thing being possible.

You can see how clear is the condition in Psalm 1; for the man who will overcome them all “walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly counselors, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scorners” of all that God has given for men’s salvation in this age: more so than any other.  You can see how this fits into Revelation 18 description of Babylon; habitation of devils in name of God, a hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird - or spirit, is a very wide description of what we have called the zoo of the Serpent Seed; in contrast to the Temple of God, and fold of the Sheep, and a place where the Spirit can dwell and have liberty.

You will see most of our readings have been along this line, though not always as complete.  And you can see the foolish have been very foolish, if they fail to have His Spirit dwell in them - the Lamb marks to others.  You can also see how foolish people are, and wicked, to have had such privileges as His Alpha and Omega Gospel, and only used it for selfish purposes, rather than the deliverance of others,  when the Judge has eyes of flame, and feet which burn as in brass, neither of which can be fooled or trifled with.  And if people can’t see what Babylon is, how can they ever have any hope for anything they have learned there?

The *Noble family are a good sample of the foolish and wicked; and I could see it working all the time in Mrs. Noble, and tried all I could to deliver her from her own thoughts, which has been imbibed in earlier days.  Hope you will have a good time in Riverside, and find comfort in new quarters.  It was good to have a helpful, useful time with Wm. And Rose, and so strengthen the bonds which bind, never to be broken; which is His greatest desire for all.

Best love in Him,

Wm Irvine

Wm Irvine's Letter To: Pettys
August 10, 1931
P. O. Box 28
Jaffa    Palestine

My dear Pettys:

Thanks for yours.  Its good to find your term of service fit into the whole program so well, finishing 44 years, with one, to find  a place in the 1000 years programme which has been His purpose from the foundation of the world.  It may seem like flattery, but to me its His Grace & favor, even as I regard Mrs. Petty’s going, as His acceptance of a loyal sacrifice and service.

What seems like the mistakes in the Prophets of God, has always been the means of revealing the secrets of mens hearts.  The Pharisee or Cain seed, or goats, always finding enough to blind their eyes, while the voice of the Lord God – holds, guides and comforts the true Able seed.

Cooney, the other day, was trying to prove my prophecy faulty, in that I encouraged people in  California to bury food;  so I gave him the above, and also showed him, that those who did it are best off today of any of the others there, while the only man that dug it up is the opposite.  It was a test, but those who stood it are my finest friends with most of the Seal of God.  To hear the voice is about the only difference between the false and true.

To allow Mary the sinner of Jerusalem to anoint His feet, revealed Simon the Pharisee.  To allow Mary to anoint His body for His burial revealed the weakness of the disciples, and found out Judas amongst  His disciples, are great Eternal Truths made manifest in His life and work of what are Gods ways, with all who have been His anointed, and gives us the reason for Cain being justified in his own eyes, in the death of his brother, and quite in line with Matt. 25:  In as much as ye have or have not done it unto the Least one, ye did or did  it not to me.

When I think of all I was to the whole Testimony and world, and what they have been to me, it gladdens my heart to see how perfectly God worked out His own scheme and plan in revealing the secret of mens hearts.  They grasp all that was the 30 pieces of silver, and rejected the voice of the Shepherd of the sheep, which is more than gold or any other possible value, while the sheep have valued the voice, and could not be driven off by any test from showing their fellowship, and bear witness to you that your friendship has been cheer beyond words, for no one can ever know all it has meant to me to be the Least of all His Brethren, or what it has meant to be Overcomer, these 40 years, -- so long and often in the dark, with nothing but His voice and unseen hand to guide thru and along a path quite unfamiliar to me, or any other.

Enduring as seeing Him that is invisible, has often been a comfort to me these 40 years, revealing the secret of mens hearts, which was a bigger job than at first appears.

We had the Y. W. C. A. Secretary from Cairo here.  A serpent and viper well marked, and she knew all the great Pharisee leaders of these 40 years; and so we went over them all by name, at various times.

But what a shock to her to find out I regarded them as the very people who had been most powerful to try and trap me from living by what Jesus revealed in His way, Truth and life lived out in human flesh and blood, to destroy the works of the Devil, and make me the Overcomer, even in the Alpha days, in preparation for the more subtle snare of Omega days.

But who could tempt me to change one jot or tittle of my life as I look back and see every step of the way His guiding hand and comforting voice and vision as they are revealed to their great reward & now to see all they did in His name, slowly disappearing as a wreck beneath the waves.  Ones heart is thrilled by the faithfulness of God and Jesus to all they ever said.  How vain is all human value in human things, compared to hearing the voice of the Lord God and obeying Him.

Thirty years to a day I had of Adam’ and Eve’s first experience in the Garden, till it seemed death would be preferable to life.

Forty years have I had of Adam and Eve’s second experience, which tho painful, has led to life eternal, and possibilities beyond  our wildest dreams.  That of separating  between all nations of the sheep and goats.  To give ear, heart, and will that our feet may be as the feet of the voice of the Lord God in the Garden in the cool of the day,-- is surely the greatest of all possibilities  for all who will hear.

Only when we see the value of tilling the soil only, and offering our best human service to God and man, can we realize what His grace and mercy has been to us, and how full and free can we offer it to others by our feet being used to carry His voice to a perishing hopeless world.

So as you review your forty-four years service, you can see eternal gain, in that His voice you have heard and followed to the outside of the Garden where you could till the ground from which you were taken, and thru eternity there will be results both in Hell and Heaven, as the outcome from both your lives, for I can’t think about them as separated.  Even now she is more to you than ever.

My love to both,

Wm. Irvine

QUOTE:  "…If they would not hear me because of my leastness, they would not have heard Him.  If they cut Him out of the Mountain Jerusalem, by word and deed, they will also cut me out without hands to begin with; and by hands, when the work is finished and we are ready to go to his right hand, who sits at the right hand of His Father.  For I am to Jesus, what Jesus was to His Father."
