Wm. Irvine's Letter To: Mr. Billett
January 8, 1934
PO Box 696
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Mr. Billett:
Thanks for yours (no date). It's one of the hopeful marks when people are hungry and thirsty for the living waters and bread from Heaven, or what God has to say to them in these days. You will find Jack Pike very useful in making the message of God plain to you. Read carefully Isaiah 55 and Revelation 22, which makes it easy to grasp, and guides us in what to do and be. All men are religious, more or less, and some are much better than others in what they teach. No animal is religious.
72 years ago I was born into a Presbyterian family; 42 years ago I was born into the family of which Jesus is the head, as Adam is of the human family. A Presbyterian preacher was the means. He told me the right thing--to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. But I began to live by what God revealed through Jesus. I found that the preacher was saying all right, but following quite another pattern, and was like a stone wall to me, in seeking to live by (which is the meaning of "believe"). So I told him my difficulty, and he was not a bit sympathetic. And all these 42 years, I have been finding how willing many are to say, but do not, but rather follow the traditions of their fathers, and so find that it don't work out. They claim the promises of God, but refuse, innocently and unconsciously in most cases, to hear and obey the Living God today, and so enter by the Wide Gate and walk in the Broad Way of their own thoughts and ways which God can't, and will not honor. And people spend their money and labor on that which is not bread, or satisfying.
The Devil, by the Serpent, deceived Eve and Adam into eating of the tree in the garden, which appealed to them and satisfied them in opening their eyes and covering them with fig leaves, which is all the Devil, by the serpent preachers of the world can ever do. And there are many branches of that tree, which is the whole religious world. Revelation 17 shows you it's serpent ministry. Revelation 18 shows you what God thinks, and what He wants us to do.
The voice of the Lord God, walking in the garden, was the only hope for Adam and Eve, and is the only hope for today. And He needs a pair of human feet and lips to speak what the Spirit has to say for our salvation. He cursed what they blessed, and clothed them in coats of skin, or sheep marks, and put them out of the garden. I have more trouble getting rid of my old, traditional knowledge than I have in believing in and living by what Jesus so fully revealed.
It's easy to see the Jewish rabbis were all wrong, though outwardly righteous, but it's another thing to see the whole world of such people of many kinds, their successors. Matthew 25 shows you the marks of all such in every age, and the witness of Jesus, and all His servants, has always been against them, in seeking to deliver men from all their traditional deceptions. Revelation 12 shows that the Devil and Satan, by the dragon, deceived the whole world today. You can read Matthew 22, 23, 24, 25, which are for today. My reward, for a long life of trying to follow and serve Jesus in the way He lived and taught. And the way He sent His disciples is to be blessed, or anointed to read Revelation to those who have ears to hear and obey, by letting the Spirit speak these same things by our lips and life--Revelation 1:3.
Revelation is the program for the judgment period, which began in 1914. Revelation 8 is the war chapter. Revelation 9 is for the period since the war; verses 1 to 10 show the spread of Bolshi ideas in many shades. Last half is the coming war between East and West, or the League of Nations and the rest of the nations, ending in 1/3 part of men being killed-- chiefly in the East; mostly Moslems and Hindus. What John the Baptist was to Jesus as forerunner, John the Apostle from Heaven will be to Jesus' 2nd coming. Isaiah 40 is his work, and Isaiah 41 is my work, as Jacob, with a few who share my anointing, or blessing as Israel.
Malachi 3 is John coming from Heaven as Messenger of the New Covenant. My work as Elijah, before the great and dreadful day of the Lord, in witness to the proud and wicked, or the religious, political and educated world: Malachi 4. You can see the 2 sides of the Wicked who are to be destroyed, leaving neither root nor branch, or parent and child, while to those who fear His name, the sunrise of a new day and age.
Isaiah 64 shows the prayer cry of all who are my friends today, for the opening of the heavens, and the flowing down, or falling away of the whole religious, political and educated world in power today. Notice the confession of the friends, neither claiming righteousness or worthiness, but rather the outcasts of the religious world, but sure they are the clay, and He the potter - verse 8. Isaiah 65:18 shows the New Thing He is creating. Isaiah 66 shows you His dwelling in the "poor man," and the end shows our enemies destroyed.
I have read all sorts of false prophet rubbish; for printing is the mark of false prophets of today. Jesus and Paul did not do these things, but spoke living words to men, that they might live and thereby guide them into truth.
My love to all who bear your name,
Wm. Irvine

My dear Bob and Minnie:
Thanks for yours and I wish you many happy returns from the Throne of God and the Lamb. It’s good to feel our littleness for such is the name among men He values in all who hear the Message from the Throne of God and the Lamb whom they regarded as the least of all who ever were or could be His Brethren and so the Man and the Little Ones simply harmonise (sic) on the earth with all who ever bore the Message of God, and now the Message of God and the Lamb.
We don’t measure Him by the reception they gave Him in the stable and manger, and later on the Cross and Tomb. But by what God did and wrought and thinks about Him, and as sure as His Leastness led to His greatness today, so shall ours though they gave us the stable and Manger reception as His Anointed and sent, and the Cross awaits us.
We know what is beyond as the two witnesses sit down right and left, and you can be sure the Little Ones hearts will be cheered as they see these things, for it’s but the earnest of our inheritance in Him.
You can see that as Rosey and King George choose; honoured among men
as their servants to convey their messages, so we need to have His name
or mark upon us, which can only appeal to the world as reason for our being
numbered among the transgressors. It’s the least of our faith and their
faithlessness. Why should men look for other marks in His servants today
than He and His bore in their day.
So we have much to rejoice in, and our Message of Him as Alpha and
Omega given so fully and clearly in Rev. - written and spoken by
His Spirit on the Earth today, and no wonder proud and wicked men despise
us and our witness, for such is the marking of all when the Keys of Hell
and death await. If His Message to John made Him fall at His feet
as dead then, we share in the same unbelief but He still lay His hand on
us and says, Fear not I am Alpha and Omega; who began and will finish,
and so our joy is fuller as we bear witness to the world in that we have
the 2 fold marks to assure us of who we are in our 50 or 60 years rags
in body, Soul, and Spirit, which is but our qualifications as His servants.
My best love and all others.
Wm. Irvine.
PS. This is our demonstration day all over Palestine, but it’s controlled and to 1 hour, and police and soldiers are well prepared to handle any breach. It’s only 10 A.M. so I have no news so far of how things are going, but we know Rev. 9: 12 - 21, is at hand with any other surprises to the world. W. I.

My dear Tusseys & Co.:
Thanks for all from friends there. They can all benefit by contact with others thru my writing letters copied and sent to them. The Message is more than my writing letters, for it’s taken all these years, to have details, and follow up His wonder working power on the earth, in wrath to His enemies, and Mercy to all who will hear Him, who speaks by the Spirit thru His Servant and those who hear and obey. We are now about the 1st woe of Rev. 9: which shows that the whole world has been slowly poisoned by serpent poison, and you notice in all the troubles, that its a matter of right, R. P. E. rulers versus the left who seek to oppose and claim rights they never did before.
Russia is the extreme left power in the world and Japan the most extreme right power, and they seem to be preparing for war in Manchucko, China. The death of King Albert and the crowning of Pu Yi the deposed Emperor of China as King of Manchucko, under Japanese protection links up the men who played such a big part in the last war. For it was Gorman interference in Belgium which brought so many against Germany. So today I expect the Manchucko King will be the center of coming trouble in the near East, and in conflict with the western Nations.
So that Rev. 9: becomes easier to see and understand for it can only be a great conflict and no victory but plenty of destruction in life and etc. And while they war right and left, God will set up His Kingdom on the earth in and by the two Witnesses who will be the gathering center for all who have heart and ears for God and all that comes from the Throne.
You will find it good always to let God, by His Spirit give you words and wisdom in your witness, and you will always see clearer the Truth after bearing witness to others as well as in talking one with another.
My Love to all who Love God and Jesus, and His Least and all the Little
Ones many places, soon to be gathered together.
Wm. Irvine.
Wm Irvine's Letter To: Arcuri
March 17, 1934
My dear Arcuri Family,
Thanks for yours and the children’s. It’s good you are all so hearty for what comes from His Heart in days when the world is ripe for wrath, because they will do anything but hear and obey. You can see how you would like to be pestered night and day with people who cry to you and pray to you, but are rebellious against all you would say or desire them to do - God and Jesus wanting to dwell in men and women - hear what He says, and witness to the world of what He is doing in Judgment.
But they will not hear, but go on with their old cackle about God of Love, and Jesus dying for them, when God and Jesus are angry with them every day, and destroying the proud and wicked doers from off the earth. It may seem a small matter in men’s eyes that we should hear and witness to men what the Scripture gives us, but it’s the most valuable service we can give God or men.
Every man who hears the Shepherd’s Voice and Message through our Spirit-given words will find life, and prove it by what God gives him as he speaks to others. Then we can see our words and witness brings out what is in the heart condition of those who hear, to God and all who bear witness by the Spirit. And our being common in men’s eyes, ignorant and unlearned, only makes it the more like what He and His Apostles and witnesses were in His day. And the joy that fills our own hearts, and the Satanic opposition we get from people who become like Serpents and Scorpions in their wriggling and biting at us - openly and secretly - is but proof that we are His, as surely as they are the Devil’s Serpent seed.
You will enjoy reading Luke 10, where and how He sent forth 70 to be His witnesses in Alpha. The Devils were subject unto them; meaning they could not resist their message. But Jesus said, rejoice not at this, but rejoice that your names are written in Heaven, and the proof that the Spirit is given to you as His witnesses. Then He says, I saw Satan the adversary fall from Heaven like lightning, to oppose and hinder and harass you in your witnessing by the Spirit. I give you power over Serpents and Scorpions, and all the power of the enemy. It shall not hurt you.
And I have no doubt all who witness today will find Serpents trying to twist the Scriptures and prove that R. P. & E. or L. S. B. are right, and if they can’t do that, they will - like the Scorpion - try to hurt you by some attack on your weakness in your walk or conversation, and that behind your back, secretly very often, by calling you crazy, or any other thing they can imagine or find fault with you.
But increase in the number of those who witness, an increase in the Wrath of God being poured out on the earth will compel attention, and our Mercy will increase as the Judgments become more manifest ever day and place.
So the joy of our heart, hope and comfort, is not a delusion, but the proof of the Victory - which is God’s and ours as we bear witness to men.
My love to all the family and best wishes,
Wm. Irvine

Wm. Irvine’s Letter To: Casey’s. New Zealand
April 7, 1934
PO. Box 696
Jerusalem Palestine
My dear Mum, Ethel & Mrs. A. E, Casey:
Thanks for two from you. Am glad you are feeling better and enjoying your old quarters and fellowship. Am sure that slap you got from a Holy Lady fighting for her faith would be measured in Heaven. "Take heed that you despise not one of the Little Ones who believe in me, for in Heaven the Angels do always behold the face of my Father.” So I expect there would be one mark up for you, and down for her, and all her kind. We can never forget that the hand that rules the universe is marked by the nail prints, and happy are all they who have marks for His Name Sake on body, face or brow.
71 years ago it was reported that a baby boy was born in a humble home in a humble town to humble parents, and as I look back over the tracts my feet have trod, how wonderful it all becomes and specially when we see the end in contrast to the beginning. How little notice God takes of all the details. How much He enjoys finding a home in which to dwell, and where He has rest, in contrast to a world full of shut doors and rebellious hearts; the fruit of the Tree in the Garden.
If Adam and Eve got the curse then, 2,000 million Adam and Eves doing the same thing surely must explain why the world is under the curse, and now doomed to death and Hell, that there may be room for Him and His co-heirs to come and reign on the earth He created, redeemed, and now sets up His Kingdom and no more curse, for all shall know Him from the least to the greatest. What a sigh of relief God must have, as He sees the coming end to all the wickedness and violence of a cursed seed on the Earth, and the coming of His Sons and heirs to rejoice in Him forever, and enjoy the earth with the curse removed.
It’s a big thing to be able to see that all we call R P & E, civilization is just the curse in operation everywhere in high and low places, and to see Him clearing the earth of it day by day is joyous and hope rises in our hearts no matter how much suffering may appear around us.
My love to all there,
Wm. Irvine
Wm. Irvine’s Letter To: Ethel Casey
April 16, 1934
Jerusalem Palestine.
My dear Ethel Casey:
Thanks for yours, I know it’s painful, but who can separate pain & suffering, from the name we bear in a Devil possessed, run & ruled world. His birth & death was the revealing of what the Devil is author of & what is of God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was Him whom they put between 2 thieves in justice, as they, according to the scriptures thot. That God raised & seated at His own right hand. I know you accept all this, but find it hard to connect your own experience with His. What could He do to escape the consequences of His Birth, and what can we do often, to escape the Consequences we find in our own life by our own actions, & yet innocently led into it by circumstances & in & out, but we had little control…. But the treatment we got and the suffering we get, in being the means of revealing the wicked hearted, devil possessed world; makes it the more valuable service we can give Him on the earth. There is a destiny that shapes our end, rough hue it as we will, has more truth in it than at first appears.
I don’t doubt but that King David of Israel is prouder today of what made him the chief sinner in Israel, & fitted to write Psa. 51: with broken contrite heart, than he is of his record as King of Israel. Coward we all are in our flesh in suffering FOR HIS NAME SAKE, or for revealing the same world conditions in our lives, over which we have no control. I don’t look on Mary the sinner in Jerusalem as beginning her life where she met Jesus, but rather look on her as a vessel chosen from birth, in & by whom the Grace, Mercy & Love of God, could be and was manifested, as in no other of her day or any day. Mary the Mother comes second, NOT FIRST, and people who worship her today in Heaven, would gather their skirts & pass her in Holy Horror, were she on the earth. Such is the power of the Devil to deceive human hearts, & add suffering of all who are the instruments honored of God, in drawing & revealing the line between the most honored of the Devil & the most honoured of God..
If there can be no accusing person found in Heaven then we can see what a price people pay for their honour on the earth.
The real Harlot in God’s and Jesus eyes in Jerusalem, were the Holy seed of whom Simon the Pharisee is a sample , in contrast with Mary in the house of Simon, when the Devil by the Jews, had driven Jesus & Co. out of Galilee where most of His mighty works had been done. They were left homeless, moneyless & friendless & after 6 days at foot of Mt. Tabour 10 miles south of Nazareth, they went up the Mt. & the Transfiguration took place, at same time Lazarus in Bethany got sick & died, & was buried… What anguish it was for Jesus & Co., & Mary, Martha & Lazarus. But this was God’s tender way of providing for Jesus & Co. when they went to the feast in Jerusalem, to find every respectable person with shut ears, eyes heart & home to Jesus & Co. “This sickness is not unto death, but for the Glory of God & you see the raising of Lazarus, Jesus’ greatest victory over the Devil in His life and ministry. For they wanted to kill Lazarus also, for the part he played in defeating their Harlot power, & gathering the many common people to welcome Him as He rode into Jerusalem on the ass, to scourge out the Temple.
They overcame by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their Testimony, & loving not their lives to the death. Rev. 12: means all, that includes you, Me, the thief on the Cross, & all whoever find a place with Him. I can never look on all that yr. family have suffered, but as the mark of Honour from God, both in yr. suffering thru yr. own actions in creating in you the broken, contrite heart, or a heart that would have been as rock, but ground to powder, which is the meaning of contrite. I’m sure there’s none of all my friends who are more desirous of seeing the Manchild brot forth, than your family, & self in particular & we can sense its nearness as well as its dearness, to all who are part of the Woman body. Read Isa. 54: very carefully.
My love in Him to you.

Wm. Irvine's letter to Mrs. Nakayama
April 21, 1934
Santa Ana , Calif.
From: Box 696 P.O.
Jerusalem , Palestine.
My Dear Sbige:
Thanks for your letter which points clearly to the fact that God has been treating you so you might find your only hope in Him. You may think it hard but it's in mercy, for this is His way of preparing honest hearts for His Message of life from the Throne today. All our thoughts and ways can never give us life; but to hear & obey His living message brings life and light, peace, hope, comfort & a new relationship to God & Jesus we could never have any other way.
People who can be deceived by the men & words of R.P. & E. are not honest neither with God or themselves, but proud & vain & often very wicked hearted, & ready to accuse & scandalise any honest man who fails to fall into their trap or snare. There can be no hope for people content in Babylon, as Revelation 18 shows it is where the pride of men and Devil rule & reign & flatter one another.
For those who come out of Babylon & use their ears in hearing what comes from God & sealed by His Spirit as we allow it to work in us & by us to others, have some hope of honest Virgins in Matthew 25 - refers to people who are free from the Harlot & Babylon & profess to have ears to hear, but if they fail in witnessing to others they will fail to find God's Spirit working in them, & so be but foolish virgins content to hear what God has taught others but not seeking to share in the anointing promises to all who bear witness. The simplest way, be willing to do as others do and be who bear the wise marks. There is no experimenting.
Revelation 3:20 just says what it means & means what it says, & all who test it out find it so & even much more than they ever dreamed it could be. Read Isaiah 55 & Rev. 22 & become a channel of life & living waters to others & part of the tree of life, & proof in your witness to others healing them from the Death producing false prophets interpretations of the Book.
There is no race or color bar in being partaker of the nature of God & Jesus, & we should not trouble about what people are to us or how they treat us. These things are only the Test for us to overcome as in Revelation 13.
My Love & Best wishes for you,
Wm. Irvine.

Wm Irvine’s Letter To: Youngs
May 8, 1934
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Bert and Daisy,
Thanks for yours (2). I’m glad to hear that your health is improving, and your unemployment ended. And that you had a nice trip and welcome to your end country and friends, even though you may seem like pilgrims and strangers on the Earth to them, whose only hope is on the Earth under present conditions, with neither peace of heart and mind, nor hope for tomorrow. Only now and again do we find people open their heart to reveal the pickle they are in, who look for Peace and Safety around the corner, where God has prepared sudden destruction. People measure by what they can do or be in the world, while God’s outlook is always what He can be and do in them to bring them from death to life; darkness to light; from the Kingdom—human, deceived by the Devil, into the Kingdom of His Dear Son, and make them heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ, to share in all that’s possible with God forever.
A monkey would be very glad to hear that he could be changed from Animal Kingdom into human, and become like Roosey [*Franklin Roosevelt?]; compared to living in a tree and fugitive, to living in White House as ruler of a great nation. But that’s but a small picture of the greater possibilities offered us in being born into the Kingdom, or family, of which Jesus is the head, with all the same possibilities as have been manifested in His life, work, death, resurrection and Kingship, which is His purpose in all who let God’s purpose be fulfilled in Him. What man, in all history, could we desire to be like, or believe, or live by, (which is the meaning of “believe”) contrasted with Jesus? And though we, today, are the least, it’s that we may become the greatest in God’s sight, and in possibilities forever. All that’s human perishes, with only the memory of missed possibilities forever. And that includes all humans: young, old, rich or poor;. And how vain it all appears in the light of His life, place, power and position today. And we are sharers of all He is, as we belong to the same family and inheritance.
A new friend was asking me, by letter, the other day how she could be sure she was foreordained, or predestined, to be one of God’s chosen. Romans 8:28-39 deals with this. But the Devil’s lie, through the Serpent Seed, makes it a human choice. "All things work together for good to them that love God, and are called according to His purpose." Verse 29, “Whom He did foreknow,” for he was sure there would be some who would have ears to hear and heart to obey, just as a farmer foreknows what he wants to grow on his land, and so arranges toward that end. Whom He knew, He would get out of the human race, by their own choice and free will. “He also predestinated,” or purposed they would be conformed to the image of His Son.
A human begets after his kind, so an animal. So, God begets, by His spirit in those who hear and obey, after His kind, as revealed in Jesus, as the head of the regenerate race. As Adam was the head of the human, that He, Jesus, might be the first born amongst many brethren.
Verse 30 shows God’s method is by calling them, by His Spirit, through His Anointed and Sent. Them who hear and obey, He justifies, or shows the Godly nature in, and the hatred of the Devil-possessed enemies in Jesus’ experience. You can hear them crying for His blood to be shed, while He prays, “Father, forgive them.” What a change and contrast!
We are justified, in that we were dead to God and alive to the Devil; become alive to God, and dead to all that’s of the Devil, and men, Devil-possessed. We might have become murderers of the sinners; whereas, we suffer, and even die, that they may live. A man is justified by his humanity, in contrast to the animals. So we are justified in showing the marks of belonging to the family of which Jesus is the head. Whom He justified, Them, He also glorified, or, by His Spirit in them, made it possible to speak words by which others may be born into His family, and helped to grow by our guidance, or the sincere milk of the living word—or bearing the marks Jesus revealed, and which all the Apostles had, even to the death. And the same cry, “Lay not this to their charge.” Showing the same forgiving Spirit He had, and all marks.
William Irvine
P. S. I’m sure you will all be able to say, bye and bye, "All things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose," purposed before the start of the human race, out of which He purposed to all those who would hear, by their own choice and free will. For God can never violate the personality He gives to all humans, grown. W. I.
The joy of Heaven will be realizing what one’s choice made possible; and the torment of Hell is the memory of our choice, contrary to His purpose. Luke 14. W. I.
Wm. Irvine's Letter To: Myers Rhodes
May 19, 1934
My dear Myers:
Thanks for yours. My letter to your brother was misdirected and returned,
& sent on again. I hope you keep in touch with some who can help you
with copies; for there is abundance from the Throne - both in Mercy and
Wrath - to satisfy all. We had a cloudburst on Tiberius the
town named after the Roman Emperor in Jesus’ ministry days and crucifixion.
It stands on the West side of Lake of Galilee, and looks out on Bethsada,
Chorazin and Capernaum - now in ruins - in fulfilling the woes He
pronounced in Matt.11: Where His Mericles(sic) in Mercy were plentiful
1900 years ago, now we have the Miracles in Wrath clearly manifest in old
days, and up to today. 34 were drowned in muddy water, and with big
rocks from the hill west of town 1000 ft. high. The town is about
800 ft. under sea level. Tomorrow is Pentecost feast in Xtian world.
So the outpouring is not of the Spirit, but in Wrath over the whole world.
The Arab war truce came on the same day, with report of Soviet fort firing on a Manchucko ship with Japanese officers and soldiers on board, which has stirred the Jap Nation. And Hong Kong has a big Gasometer explode - killing 20 and injuring 60; to draw our eyes & ears to the far east. The dust clouds in U. S. A. & Canada, are to big and black to disregard, & fit into Rev. 1:7 to(sic) well to be misunderstood. For every eye shall see His coming in the clouds of every sort -world wide- and the R. P. E. people feel it, the ( )they try to hold the reins, now slipping into the L.S.B. hands to fulfill Rev. 17: & 18;. You can see the lowly in Isa. 41: 14 and on Isa. 54: the barren woman whose maker is her husband, the little ones of Luke 7: and the Widow with many avenge of their adversaries -speedily- tho He has borne long with them. So our Publican claims on the ear and heart of God, & the Babe & Suckling marks, assure us of the Kingdom soon to be set up in all who are His.
My love to all,
Wm. Irvine
William Irvine's Letter To: Kellys
May 11, 1934
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Mr. & Mrs. Kelly:
I was glad to hear from you and congratulate you on your marriage, but more, on the choice you have made to hear and obey the Message of God from the Throne, which alone can meet your needs; for it's only a matter of time, till all will fall.
"Pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flower, it's bloom is shed;
Or like a snowflake on the river,
A moment white, then gone forever."
[--??--] is the poet's version; and he had tasted its best. I was so, ere I began to realize there was something, though unseen, real and satisfying for all who would pay the price, and stand, only and always, for Jesus against the whole religious, political, and educated world. And after 40 years' experience, I have only one thing to say: It satisfies, when all else would, and does, fail. And now, we are in the shadow of the greatest calamity in all history, for all the religious, political and educated, and the labor socialist, Bolshi crowds raised up to be destroyed and destroy one another to end the wicked reign on the Earth. The only hope for any to escape is to, with honest purpose of heart and will, give ear to what God says, and see what He is doing, and the provision for all who are His Servants, by their witness to others, in the Spirit.
God created the Earth and put humans on it, that He might have ears from those willing to hear His Voice and let Him come in to sup with them; that they might share all that's His as sons and heirs, and joint heirs with Jesus. For He is the fist begotten of many brethren. Romans 8 is good to read. All that fail to become partakers of His nature, and be conformed to the image of His son, perish--good, bad, or indifferent; young or old, rich or poor. And all religion is but the Devil's gag to hinder you realizing His purpose in you, and finding your name in Heaven, as sure as it's recorded on the Earth as humans.
So, put all you have and are into His service; and, like Maurice you will find satisfaction in having your oil can full of oil, or the Spirit of God, and His thoughts and ways. Maurice can be a true helper to you in attaining this end. And I hope Sylvia and you may be mutually helpful in every way to each other forever.
My love to both,

P. O. Box 696
Jerusalem, Palestine.
My Dear Mrs. Corbett:
Thanks for yours, and glad you have heart to bear witness even as He
did when there were few to hear Him and many to Speak Evil and hinder Him
bearing His Father’s Message. On May 13th the friends in So. Calif.
Had a picnic to meet each other and many strangers amongst them for the
1st time, On same day we had a cloud burst on west shore of Lake
Tiberius in Galilee where most of Jesus’ mighty works were done when He
was there and where He gathered out of Bethsaida, Chorizin and Capernaum
on whom HE pronounced the woes as in Matt.11: and which were fulfilled
in destroying those cities by raining mud and boulders out of the sea by
volcano.
Luke 3: shows who was Emperor in Rome and Herod the Ruler of that part who played a part in killing John Baptist and in the Trial and death of Jesus. The old part of the town was pretty well destroyed by water, mud and rocks from the hillside. 34 were killed, young and old, and there would have been hundreds if it happened at midnight in place of mid-day. 79 were injured and another cloud burst took place on 14th at same hour tho not so severe. This happened 7 days before the feast of Pentecost on May 20th, so if you notice 13th reminds us of Jesus and the 12. Then 34,79,7—120, the number who were together 1900 years ago when the Holy Spirit was poured out on them. Jesus was put to death about 34 AD. or 33 1/2 . These figures may seem fanciful to people who have no ears to hear, but they are cheering and comforting to US ? and remind US of the 12 still around the Throne who were the leaders of the 120 at Pentecost, Rev. 4 and draws the eyes of the whole world to the Sea of Galilee and whats recorded in the Book of them who first heard the Voice of the Lord God, as fishermen on the Lake of Galilee people love to sing about in Church. It was Black Galilee on the 13th of May 1934.
John was the first and last disciple of Jesus and so his coming may be indicated in what took place on May 13th 1934.
My love to all there.

Wm. Irvine’s Letter To: Norman & Charlotte Morgan, Santa Ana, California
June 16, 1934
From:Jerusalem, Palestine
My Dear Morgans:
Thanks for Charlotte’s letter. If you have a place under His wings, you will see how little all your human weaknesses and frailty, loves and hates, and all human emotions, have done to bring you there.
All human life is but vanity. But out of that condition He will deliver and perfect, like unto His own Son. Read Ecclesiastes and see what human life is, in contrast to our Eternal relationship to God. What seems so big and bulky in our life today will seem as dust laden air, in contrast to the eternal life, light and love, which marks the future of all who inherit. Normal life – or a life of intimate fellowship with Him. Human life and love is but the scaffolding of the great eternal building; - and it’s good to have it sound, clean, knotless timber, in such. Wood is type of humanity; and you can see how many kinds there are, - and what we value in timber conditions guides us into the humanity.
Whatever makes us good, reliable humans is worth attention; knowing that our usefulness to God and man depends on that, when it comes to God and Jesus, the carpenter, choosing us for His purpose. Heart rot is the worst disease timber can suffer from. Then comes the value of good bark, or outward conditions. All the experiences you have passed through is but giving you a little of the discipline which reveals where dry rot was, - and its dangers. Letting Him in to sup with you and you with Him, surely means to supply what’s lacking in our fellowship with God and our neighbor.
The human is always used to reveal the heart condition toward God, and you can be sure, no matter what you do today, we will all see that to give God an honest chance to make us Sons and Heirs and Joint Heirs with Jesus Christ, is the sure, safe sane way of acting. So put away any thought of self-will, or drifting, and let Him lead and guide into quiet waters where you can get the feast now and eternally. Yesterday is God’s; today and tomorrow ours to choose what they will be.
My Love to both,
Wm. Irvine
Wm. Irvine’s letter to: Edwards, Vallejo, Calif.

From: P.O. Box 696, Jerusalem, Palestine
My Dear Wm. & Rose and Co.:
Thanks for yours and Alphie’s, which I have sent on to John West today so he can have a taste of what the Devil and Satan can give. He that deceiveth the whole world is adversary of all who have any anointing of God. How any honest man could be who he is and bear all the marks of being the Devil and Satan’s prosecuting fiend, beats me. But I suspect he suffered in having his easy bread and butter taken away in part.
He tried to get me to send him fares to California, which revealed his condition better than all else to me, for he was on the rocks badly, and what came out in California was but proof of who he was, and vengeance because he was tied up in a knot so far as being able to live on the friends there through his polished, empty oil-can full of hot air and now poison gas. So he is only one of many who have tried to live by bread which they never produced and when disappointed were filled with wrath and vengeance in my absence.
I am expecting August 1st will settle them by world war, famine, pestilence and plagues after they have been well revealed and John’s coming will settle who is His King on Mt. Zion. Read Isaiah 3: and 4:, Jeremiah 23:, Zechariah 3: and 4: and all you can find in the Book for the Branch of the Lord which will be beautiful and glorious when the Salome dancing girls of the world will be content with the seventh part of a man to take away their reproach because their men shall die by the sword, etc. You can see God and Jesus’ vengeance on all the Herod, Herodias, Salome world in making them manifest before He destroys all such from the earth.
The Rainbow is very often misread to mean no more Flood, when it’s a reminder of who God is and what He is going to do more effectively than then. As the Dead Sea and Great Gulch, 6000 miles from North to South, reminds the world of what happened to them who would not hear God’s Prophet Abraham, as they would not hear Noah and now will not hear the Man and Message of today.
Everything is working out perfectly and we know the 14 men of Galilee and their work and witness, and now power to put in operation is all one with us who are His witnesses on earth today.
My Love in Him to all

My dear Fountains:
Thanks for yours. Canada and USA is badly hit in their Bread Basket, which a year ago they tried to reduce by 15% -- God has reduced it 70% in this and past year. On 14th May I had a snap taken at my door at 11:40 in a little shower of rain, and next day we hear of cloud burst over Tiberius town on Lake of Galilee. Herod built it and named it after Tiberius in Jesus' time. On his birthday Herod beheaded John the Baptist to please Herodias his mistress and Salome her daughter who danced before the distinguished company – now in hell remembering their folly. Better they had never been born than treat God's mouthpiece so. In prison & his head taken off like a sheep without trial – at the whim of Herod, Herodias & Salome, who are samples of the whole R. P. &E. world today. Every girl today wants to be a Salome, and there are plenty of intriguing matrons like Herodias and plenty of foolish, vain, conceited, autocratic fools in power provoking God and man.
14th May reminds us of Jesus, John & the 12. 34 were killed reminding us of His age at death – as the Pope has been doing & giving us the year the war is to begin. Loose the 4 angels bound, prepared for an hour, day, month & year – 34. 79 were injured, and if you notice May 14th to Aug. 1 is 79 days The last war began on August 1st, the 11.11.11 Jewish Civil time or Noah's time, and ended on 11.11.11. X tain time. So we can see when the Rev. IX war is coming in which 1/3 part of men are to be killed, with drought, pestilence and plagues to accompany it, and so break the nations in pieces as potters vessels. How insignificant were these 14 in men's eyes. But Rev. 4 – 5 & 6 shows where & how they are today, pouring out wrath in avenging the Blood shed of all who have seen God's true seed and that on those who dwell on the earth today. The seed of the killers or pierces in His day. Read Luke III & XIII and Matt. XI, and see the connection. The 3 Woe Cities lie in ruins 3 miles from Tiberius, fulfilling the Woes. And the same mud and rocks which destroyed Tiberius, was thrown up by the same volcano to wait for the double cloud burst on 14 & 15 May – '34.
So cheer up and rejoice.
My Love to all
Wm Irvine.
Wm. Irvines Letter To: Frank & Jenny Presbury
68 Spring Rd., Normocott, Longton,
Staffs. , England .
From: Box 553 P.O. Jerusalem , Palestine
11th. May 1927
My Dear Frank & Jenny,
I was glad to have yours, and hope your eye troubles of all kinds pass. You can be sure that He hearkens and hears and notes all your interest in me, and these things we write, and can make all things work out for your good as He recognizes your heart interest in what He has nearest and dearest to His heart. You are looking on His handiwork as Creator destroying the old to make room for the new creation of God, and preparing us as a seed to begin with in the setting up of His Kingdom on the earth.
Its good to put our own thots and ways as far from us as we know how, and live by what He gives and I read and you hear and keep. This is the beginning of faith in us, and all we see going on is to strengthen our confidence in Him. For He can create the new as sure as He can destroy the old. For He has said both things and its ours to trust His word, which shall not pass till all these things have been fulfilled.
The taste you have been having this past year of suffering and seeing and hearing others suffer would only quicken your hearts and cause more longing for the day when His Sons of God shall be made manifest in the earth in the New Heaven and Earth, where none of the present Godless seed shall rule over others or be able to rob them of what is His blessing and purpose for all men. Jesus said all that ever came superior to me were thieves and robbers, and we see the world to day what they have made of it for men.
Just as Palestine reveals the work of the robbers of the land in its present state. We are apt to think that present conditions have been produced by our generation but we are reaping what has been sown by the Devil and all his seed for 6000 yrs, and no matter what men say, re our civilization and advancement in every way, we are more slaves and sufferers than our fathers were. But it will be foolish to expect any few or many would change present conditions, when He alone can and will finish up all thats wicked and give us righteousness as He means it to be on the earth.
Every form of suffering is only a spur to those whose confidence is in God. For all will work towards the accomplishment of His purpose on the earth. To hear these things and see by the Spirit is to be partakers with Him now, and so share in the victory, which the Lord of Hosts is going to have on the earth. What He is going to do, He reveals to those who have ears to hear, that by this means He may prepare a seed by whom the New things will be made known to the world. We wld not expect you to have a very big grasp of these things from the oppys you have had, but to have ears and desire for more is a good mark. His Servant is not to break the bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax, till Judgment is brot forth to victory.
You may find Is.42 worth reading, which gives you an outline of His Servant, and much detail when the Spirit opens it up to your understanding. Bob can give you some help over the Book, making up or gathering His Jewels around the Manchild when he is the least, like the babe in the midst of the Woman of Rev. XII - who is to be brought forth as the Manchild to rule all nations with a Rod of Iron and dash them in shivers as clay vessels are when smitten with an Iron Rod, and when the work is finished to be caught up to God and His Throne. The part I wished to emphasize most is, I will spare them as a man spares his own son that serveth him. So your 2 lovely children can help to make this plain.
You know you can't help loving your son, and what dreams parents have for their children's future; but for one that serveth them in the way they want. What love, care and interest you have in such. This is the picture given here and you cannot strain it, I will spare him. Who would not spare such a son, and what does spare mean, but that He will not test you beyond what you can stand & care for your interests as much as you care for His.
We have been polluted by all sorts of false professions which He could not honour, till it's hard to find those who will so love, fear and honour Him, that He can honour them. You little dream of the possibilities of your meetings, talking and thinking these days, and I pray you be as hot and sincere as you were in your love making, so that He can honour you as never people have been honoured in all time. For such is your privilege, and this is the purpose for which I exist as His servant, and under the conditions here, when you have a wife and children, and a simple life where you have the best conditions, and you can use them as guides to help you into the love activity in Him, which He delights to honour, just as surely His Wrath will wreak His vengeance on all the hypocrisy and empty professors who talk love and walk in their own iniquity.
I don't ask you to be angels, but just plain people with a sincere heart interest in all He is doing on the earth. And don't be afraid to speak out and interest yourself in all that's His work on the earth. You will find the Spirit of God shed abroad His Love in your heart and give you great understanding and vision of all that He has done, is doing and going to do; only keep simple, sincere and honest towards Him. For you know how He must be sick of all else. I will spare Him as a man spareth his own son that serveth Him. Let the Spirit of God give you the fullest meaning of this in your heart or hearts, and you can be sure of it as if it were written history. For His promises are all yea and Amen to those who are His Jewels.
Best Love and Thanks,
Yours very truly in Him,
Wm. Irvine.

My Dear Fountains and Don:
Thanks for yours today. It seems drought everywhere. If Don's stomach is bad, some Milk of Magnesia is good and less cigarettes. It's good he has a place to shelter & fellowship. Would there be more work further West. USA has had a pretty bad season so far and many find it hard to hope thru these trying days, for even with all the help given, there must be 15 million unemployed now in U.S.A. and I fear Canada has not made much headway. Our crops are said to be fair and good and summer crops coming on well, and shortage of labour in harvesting reported today, which but adds to our hope that Aug. 1st will bring the war on. May 14 & 15 we had cloudbursts on both days on Tiberius on Lake Galilee. At 11:40 A.M. 34 were killed – 79 injured. This reminds us of the 14 names of the men of Galilee. John B. who was beheaded by Herod in that town. After burying his body, Jesus and the 12 went across the Sea to desert and fed the 4,000, and then returned walking on the water, while the disciples were struggling with a storm and Peter made his first try at walking on the Sea, which may help you to read why of these 2 miracles.
34 dead points to His death year & Pope's cackle last year. So Rev. IX is easier to read now than ever. 11.11.11 Jewish time was the hour, day, month of 1914 war. August 1st Jewish time it began and finished. 11.11.11 Christian time, and the coming war hour, day month & year may be 1st Aug. 1934. And John's coming at same time, for the world war, famine, pest & plagues I expect will begin together.
So our long expectations may now be in sight. 20 years to a day from 1914 war to 1934 and even the hour will convince many and reveal the perfection of His plan and program as did Rev. VIII to me after the war ended. You can see the whole world fashions very much after Herod, Herodias and Salome for the half-clad dancing, jazzing girl holds the stage today, with the intriguing matron behind her and the ruling classes admiring the charm. Read Isa. III and see the marks of Salome to point to in Judgment and see Isa IV the consequences to them, and also to the Branch of the Lord in Jer. Read Jer 23 Zach III----------------------

My Dear Wm. Rose & Co.:
Thanks for two from you four, all hearty & good, Trail events may only be the awakening of the sleepy to trim their lamps a little. The solution is quite simple as indicated by the report of past air. Tussey’s death is a reminder that it’s folly to presume to do the impossible things, but it can’t affect his relationship to those on the Throne, tho it may seem hard on the family, There is always danger of presuming on his care in all who are Babes & Sucklings. Those who have died (the few in number) & bore clear wittness (sic) to the end are as safe & sure as they could be on the earth. But always reminds us that we are only Dust & only encourages our hopes the more for the great day & voice of Rev. 12: and only adds to the desire to see the Child brought forth.
You can see the conditions everywhere are such as will cause us to welcome John with the Decree from the Throne which will silence all doubts & fears in all who hear, & draw the line between those under His Wing & those under Wrath. Our human naturelly (sic) hates the Barren Woman & Widow conditions, But it is the perfecting of our confidence begotten by his Spirit & promises. These all died in faith not having received the promises written for our comfort, & they will as surely come to reign as those who entered the vineyard at the 11th hour & are to get the penny we enjoy today. How many Knotty problems have been solved & cleared to us these past 20 years. We would not have known our ignorance apart from the 20 past years experience. See how much we have today compared to Easter 1919
I am living in Hotel in Jer. Now & have good opportunity to meet tourists of U. S. A. & eng. (sic) it’s comical to see all the fuss they make over death of the False Prophet Jesus, now they recognize who He is but quite dead to who & where He & His are, around the Throne where there is no fuss, but clear activity in preparing for his coming.
My love in Him

July 6, 1934
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Mr. & Mrs. Lias:
Thanks for yours. Hope you keep in touch with the Sheeleys, and so get copy of my letters to others.
If you let God, by His Spirit, dwell in you, as in Revelation 3:20, how can you avoid letting Him speak His words by your mouths? "Open thy mouth wide, and I (God) will fill it." What comes out of the mouth, is proof of who dwells there.
He created us that He might dwell in us, and conform us to the image of His Son, Jesus. All else is vanity. And you can see what an insult to God it is to read the Book, and worship in public places, while we are godless; or refuse to let God put His thoughts and ways into our mind and heart, and show it by what we say and do. If people knew all they miss in their living godless, good lives, compared to having Him dwell in us to share all our joys and sorrows, they would be as miserable now, as they will be later on, in Hell, when they find it all out.
My love in Him,
William Irvine

My dear Killions:
Thanks for yours and photo, which I enjoyed. It’s not good to give pearls to those who bear marks of dogs, hog, goat or wolf. It’s better to try and find those who are hungry and thirsty; and, in all, be wise with the wisdom of God. But don’t forget that the Devil is deceiving the whole world; and, in most cases, hopelessly so. And every word that comes from human lip, by the Spirit of God, in witnessing, will stir up Satan to be adversary. But we are nearing the day when our words and witness will be sought after by many, who, today, despise and even persecute us for being His witnesses.
Bearing the cross means being hated for our witness. Read Matthew 5:1-7 and see the marks of those who inherit the Kingdom; and what Jesus says we should do, when treated badly by those who are His enemies.
My love in Him,
William Irvine
Wm. Irvine's Letter To: George Linn
July 29, 1934
My dear Linn Family:
Thanks for yours by air - took 20 days to arrive. Yesterday was 100th day of strike marked by 10 Arabs killed at Nablus after 12 hours conflict in very difficult country. This Abrams city Sheeben and now the strongest Moslem quarter in Palestine. Saturday 12 Arabs were killed half way on the Jaffa, Jerusalem road. It seems queer to be reading about all the various places in Gospel story as places where the hottest conflicts arise. So it's in line with the Woe, Woe, Woe Message from the Throne which is ours to give to all who will hear the Message of the Spirit by which alone men can have life.
It seems that the 1st and 2nd Angels soundings gave us war on land and sea - the 3rd ended the Gentile Gospel by the drying up of the fountains and rivers and making them bitter - so that all that drank of the dead, bitter waters died. The surest double mark of Testimony in living days and the after effects. But to find our insignificancy Gospel work so marked along with such a terrible conflict is like madness but it's too true to our experience to be overlooked. The 4th Angel Woe, Woe, Woe is too like our Message since 1918.
Fifth Angel has produced conflict of all sorts on the earth and now we see two samples of it here in Palestine and in Spain between the rights and lefts which seems very common in many places and peoples. U.S.A. and Canada have both been hard hit, but by natural calamities proving Natures loyalty to His purpose and we can't doubt the Angels activity in many and varied forms. I am sure your visit south was good and it may have been better short than long when so many others were about you.
Notice the Message to the servants of Revelation 22 is concerning things which must shortly be done, and we can expect the Angel Message to the 7 churches is the same tho we would expect greater understanding in general, but the attempt to give Epistle teaching or injunction to the servants as if they had been part of the churches, can only beget trouble. So the need for Spirit given intuition in dealing with the 2 classes, tho the Spirits Message is the same and there is always the wise and foolish amongst virgins and the 2 kinds of servants as we find the world divided into sheep and goats.
So we are ever getting some light on the Message to those in the streets and lanes - highways and hedges where they are being gathered to the feast as guests.
My love in Him,
Wm. Irvine.
Wm. Irvine's Letter To: Westlunds, Auburn, Calif.
September 25, 1934
PO Box 696
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Westlunds:
Thanks for yours with all the details of His mercy, in offering them life and their response. When we think of all the organized man and message of the Devil to deceive, as in Babylon, we don’t marvel at their despising and rejecting of God and Jesus’ man and message, the reader of Revelation for all who will hear. And they can’t separate man and message; they are clearly in the book. And Revelation 22 is the strongest evidence, and the consequences to all who dare or care to trifle with them.
The refuges of lies, which men seek shelter in, will all be destroyed as sure as He will established His alpha and omega message; by which men choose life or death, the inside or outside of the walls of the new Jerusalem. Our very least and littleness is our qualification for testing them. If we had more shine and show, we would but prove to be part of Babylon; for it’s by these big popular things men are lured into Babylon. And their whole outfit is something that appeals to the pride and wickedness in many hearts, with God’s name made very big in the eyes and ears of men.
But what He and His were in alpha days, He wants us to be in men’s eyes in omega days. Their baptism and breaking of bread is a snare for all who are simple. But there is nothing of that sort in Revelation; and the message is ever to gather out of what was church, truly, by the message of the Spirit. So, "Come out of her, my people" is the very first step in those who would benefit by the man and message. The angel of the church is not in, but outside, giving them a chance to hear His voice, and open the door; that He may come in to sup with them as persons, and they with Him as [a] person: and no organized number.
My love to all,
Wm. Irvine
Wm Irvine’s Letter To: Grims
October 10, 1934
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Grims:
Thanks for Christie’s today. Glad to hear you are all well and in good shape, after your trying time. I have wondered how so many have suffered, but I guess it can only make us the more eager for that day, when the loud voice will say, “Now is come salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ.” Which is the desire of the whole, true, Woman Body, in John’s coming and the bringing forth the Man Child.
Revelation 10, 11 & 12 become the more wonderful, as the whole of the matter. People who make it depend on Jesus coming, make a mucky mess of the whole Truth for these days, for the messianic witnesses are to prepare the Kingdom for the King to come and reign. And all their cackle and talk about rapture leaves them in a bog, and reveals the condition of their hearts before Him. For man’s thoughts and ways are not His, but separate, as Heaven and Earth are apart. And probably more clearly revealed in the Pentecostal people, than me or the Woman with the Moon under her feet and clothed with the Sun and the 12 star crown on her head, and in great desire to see the Man Child the center of all her hopes, realized.
It was the rejecting of my witness to Jesus in Los Angeles in 1906, that produced the Pentecostal Testimony; a wide door and a broad way for all who disregard Jesus as the Way, Truth, and Life, by which men can know the Father and become sons and heirs, and joint heirs with Jesus, who is to be the 2nd Adam, and head of the family of God. Then in Kilsyth, my home town Pentecost took root in 1908, in the Church of God; which was formed out of the work I did when at home for 2 years. Then, it spread to Ireland through some of these friends who knew testimony people in Ireland. And, now, I am living with 2 of them here. So I regard the various moves as God’s way of revealing the delusion and illusion of Pentecost in people today, in contrast with those who have ears for what the Spirit saith to the churches by the Angel of the 7 churches, which was my work in the world, as the early 7 Churches was Paul’s work in his travels.
I suppose Paul, today, will be as much interested in my travels in Alpha days, as I was in his travels and works in his days. But people were blind to the value and importance of Paul’s work then, and of my work in these days. Who could doubt Paul as Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Teacher, and Preacher and Pastor of the flock God gave him? Though in his death, there were few who had remained faithful to him. He saw the many, who had entered by the wide gate, made manifest as dogs, hogs, goats and wolves, rather than sheep, who had heard the Shepherd’s Voice through Paul, as Adam and Eve did in the Garden. It’s a long, sorry record as we read the Book, of the many entering by the wide gate; and walking in the broad way of their own thoughts and ways, despising those whom God had spoken through, which gave them even the chance of life, which they missed.
You notice in Revelation 2 and 3, how, in every message, you see Jesus revealed in fuller ways; seeing where the churches are, and, by His Angel, gathering out of the churches, those who have ears to hear what the Spirit saith by the Angel. Jesus, the Angel, and those who hear are the hope for today.
My love to all,
William Irvine
Wm Irvine's Letter to: Mr. Thorp
Seattle, Wash. (An X-Cleric)
October 16, 1934
My Dear Thorp:
Thanks for yours. Can you imagine anyone getting free from Babylonian traditions without a struggle. It has been 41 years struggle to be where and as I am, so I am glad it has begun for you, and I can make it easier for you. I was brought up a Presbyterian, converted on my 30th birthday when the battle began—whether I would believe in Jesus, and live by what He revealed, said and did, or follow the traditions of my fathers, and the many traditional “say and do not” methods I found ready to swallow me up. Then for some years I thought to fish in the herring barrel called churches, to find out how impossible it was to do any work that would honour Him by doing God’s work in His way and manner of life.
For 14 years I worked outside all religious connection and gathered many out and around Him, and my attempt to do as the Acts and Apostles taught, only to find—as did Paul, that false Apostles and Prophets would try to get power to lead the so-called churches I had formed spiritually, under their power. In 1914 I found this case to be His method, though I did not understand it. I had many converts in G. Britain, Ireland, U.S.A., Canada, New Zealand, Australia and S. Africa, which I regard as the 7 Churches of Asia—for they were the work of one man—Paul, and so it made me feel that my work might be the 7 Churches of today, or in 1914, tho I never had any idea of such until it became clear and simple by His Spirit. These 7 churches are the work of the Man He chose to be His Servant in Revelation days.
I listened to all sorts of people and went to all sorts of places from 1914 to 1918, and found nothing but the old hypocrisy of saying and doing not, every man full of his own thoughts and ways, seeking a crowd and a crust. Then God began to open Revelation, and I began to give it to others what I got, and since then the whole Book became simple and very easy to understand we were in the Judgment period, and the war was the sign. Rev. 8 is the war chapter when 4 Angels sounded the various happenings. Rev. 9:1-10 ver. Gives us the Bolshivism of the world, and now we look for the great war between East and West, which may start any day. But with it will come John from Heaven to be my Co-witness (Rev. 10 – 11 – 12 chapters) in Jerusalem for the whole world, around whom will gather the Woman and 144,000 from every corner of the earth, not Jews in the ordinary sense, but with marks Abram and his seed always had, ears and ears to hear and obey.
God is sealing from all over the world today, in revealing the devil-possessed Babylon’s condition which covers the whole organized Religious, Political and Educational world, while Labour, Socialist and Bolshi is being organized against them to destroy them as in end of Rev. 17 ch. What you say re 144,000 in Rev 14—these not defiled with women, refers to them not having fellowship with the Babylonian Whore, but following the Lamb whithersoever He goeth. Whore and all abominations refers to those who take hire for preaching, the thieves and robbers of John 10— who climb up some other way, rather than enter by the door as did Jesus and all the true Apostles. Every kind of fool presumptuously reads the Acts and tried to imitate what’s there. This is the Devil’s and Satan’s way of hindering the Revelation Message in Omega. The Alpha work of Jesus finished in 1914. We have the same Jesus in Rev. 1 ch. But how different in His Alpha Mercy to His own who hear and obey the Reader's Revelation Message. “Blessed is he that readeth and they who hear and obey the words of this prophecy, for the time is at hand,” shows it was for the Judgment period.
Rev. 22 shows that to add to or take from is fatal. Blessed is he that reads and they who hear and keep. Leaves all others cursed and abandoned by the Spirit of God. So it’s a great day of Salvation and Damnation.
In the Harvest you find no mention of Baptism, Breaking of Bread, only the fellowship of Mal. 3 and results in Mal. 4. The Oven being heated for the burning up of the proud and wicked doers, while those who Fear the Lord, speak often one to another, will come forth like calves of the stall, to tread under their feet the wicked seed. WICKED is never applied to sinners, but always to religious people who corrupt His Name and Mercy, Matt. 23 marks. These are the seed of the Serpent, from Garden of Eden who fill the world full of Knowledge of Good and Evil, or give Scriptures but not the Spirit, and so are false prophets and false professors of every sort mentionable.
Behold, He cometh with clouds of every sort, as in Matt. 24, Rev. 1:7—Every eye shall see Him and every one that were and are piercing kindred of the earth, shall wail because of Him.
People who look for Rapture and the Lord to come before Revelations is fulfilled are deluded as in II Thes. 2—The Lord will not come except there be a falling away which is during the 3-1/2 years witness of the Two as in Rev. 11 and the Man of Sin be revealed, as in Rev. 13. Rapture takes place after the 1,000 years and general Resurrection, Rev. 20 is finished. So shall they be forever with the Lord. Unregenerate people today are all back 1900 years to Pentecost, or 1,000 years too early for Rapture.
Read Isa. 55 and Rev. 22—The Living Waters from the Throne, is the Message from Revelation by the Reader, the Overcomer to whom the 7 Promises are given, which is the reward for the Reader, and 7-fold Promises given to those who hear and obey what the Spirit saith to the Churches. Those who fail to hear in the Churches are left to perish in Babylon.
You will find it good to get and keep in touch with those who have been hearing for years and can give you letters to read, for we have been slowly learning what’s written by the Spirit. You need have no fears, hear all you can, read all you can, witness all you can, and the more Satan hinders you and harasses, the surer will His Spirit give you wisdom and understanding. You need have no fears, for Psalms 91 is for those who hear and find shelter under His wings.
My Love to you,
Wm Irvine

My dear Mrs. Teske:
Thanks for yours. You can be quite sure, to hear and obey the Man and Message will give strength, hope and cheer in the midst of all the troubles coming on men and nations. There is no other refuge in the storm of His wrath let loose, and increasing every day. If they will not be sheep, they will be goats; and you can read in Matthew 25 what is their portion and reward.
You have quite enough to help there, to give you a good scriptural foundation for confidence in God, Jesus and the Spirit. The Man and Message—Isaiah 55 with Revelation 22. And be sober, sincere and earnest, both for your health, happiness, safety and assurance, which is more than all else we can have. Value very highly the friendships in The Message, for we are meant to be helpers of each others' faith, hope and charity.
An ear to hear, a heart to obey, and a mouth to witness is all God wants from you. And your service, He will value no matter what others think of it.
My love in Him to all there,
William Irvine

My dear Moores:
Thanks for yours. Glad that John wrote you. He is very happy and content in sharing the message of God today, as he once did in Alpha Testimony days; which was my work then to begin it. And now, the man and message of Revelation is my job, and reward for my service for 21 years up to 1914. Testimony finished in 1914, when Revelation became the message and test for all men. There is no baptism, or breaking of bread in Revelation. You can see it’s His angel, calling out of the 7 churches those who will hear what the Spirit NOW saith to them. And all the promises are to those who hear His knock and voice; and open the door, that He may come in to sup with them, and they with Him.
It was all as new to me as it could be to any other, for Revelation had no value or meaning TILL the time was at hand. Chapter 1 shows Jesus as Alpha and Omega; which means He is the saviour of those who hear and obey His Revelation message, but is the destroyer of all who refuse it. When John saw the difference, he fell at His feet as dead, so great was the shock; till Jesus revealed the difference, and gave him the reason for it, to write. John was, at that time, rejected by all the churches to whom he wrote. But they only said he was old age mad; and he was loosed from his Patmos bondage to die amongst the very few friends he had left. So we need not wonder that the reader of Revelation shall be in the same position.
Revelation 1:3 says, Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear and keep the words of this prophecy: for the time is at hand. The world is full of people who preach and teach, baptize and break bread, but have no ear for God when tested by those who have, and give them the message from the throne today. This is God’s method of separating the sheep from the goats. Inasmuch as they did or did it not to ONE of the least, they did or did it not to Jesus on the throne. And you can see the two rewards for the sheep and goats in Matthew 25.
The virgins are those who are out of Babylon, and profess to hear my reading. Some will use it wisely and get the Spirit, or oil in their vessels. Others will be foolish, even with the great privilege, and shortly will find the door shut; as the others are gathered around the two witnesses in Jerusalem, from north, south, east and west. This is the setting up of the kingdom on the earth by John, who comes from heaven to be my companion, as in Revelation 10, last verse, and Revelation 11 and 12.
Malachi 3:16-18 is the fellowship today, and quite outside all religious gatherings. The message is to be given to those in the streets and lanes of the cities, and in the highways and hedges: not in meetings. Read Matthew 22 on to Matthew 25 for truth for these days. Malachi 4 shows you what’s happening on the earth, getting heated as an oven to burn up the proud and wicked doers; leaving neither root nor branch, parents or children. While to those who have ears to hear my reading of Revelation, you can see their big day will come; and they will tread the ashes of such as have been their persecutors, under their feet.
"Behold, I will send Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord." This is my job! John [the] Baptist was Elijah in his day, but Jesus refers to me by what He said of John. "Among those born of women, there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: nevertheless he that is least in the kingdom is greater than he." Matthew 25 shows that what men are to the least of these His brethren, they are to Him. People, in their pride and wickedness, think it’s for those who are in repute amongst their brethren who are honored of God. But it’s the man who bears the same reputation He did, and endures the cross and despises the shame, whom He has chosen as His angel, or "sent one" to the churches. Read Revelation 22.
Isaiah 55 gives you the "Ho, man", [given] to the whole world, with living waters. He is the witness, leader and commander to the people who will come from the ends of the earth. "Wherefore do you spend money for that which is not bread? And your labor for that which satisfieth not?" This is written for all religious people on the earth. It’s all dead; and life comes only by receiving my reading of Revelation! Hearken diligently unto me, saith the Lord. Hear, and your soul shall live and feast; and the Lord will make a new covenant with you: even the sure mercies of David. It’s a New Thing. The old heaven and old earth is passing, as the new comes into being.
Revelation 22 gives you the whole outline. The living waters flowing, pure and clear as crystal, from the throne of God and the Lamb by the Spirit, through the reader and those who hear and keep the reading given them. "I, Jesus have sent mine angel," or sent one, to witness these things to the 7 churches; which was my Alpha gospel work in 7 countries, for 21 years. You will find it very simple and easy. But don’t fail to open your mouth and let it out, so that you may get His Spirit to give understanding and words!
I have quite a number of Testimony friends, but more new people whom I have not seen, specially in California. There are a number in New Zealand who will be glad to hear from you, and pass on my letters to them. And if you can get some of them to come and spend a day with you, it will do much to put you on your feet; and strong to enjoy His blessing today, when conditions get worse all the time for all who have no ears, or heart for what comes from the throne. These are all Testimony people I have known for 30 years, and very hearty for all I have to write them.
My love to you and all others,
Wm. Irvine
Wm Irvine's Letter To: Abbott
December 14, 1934
My dear Percy and Co:
Thanks for yours. You have quite a large family around you and I’m sure it will exercise you to give them food in season. I wish I had a place at your Thanksgiving dinner. I’m not sure that so many U.S.A. people have so much to thank God or man for these days.
It would be “Thank God we are not worse than we are,” and the world
is feeling it about as well, although the spotlight is crowded always with
the clowns who tell us what’s not around the corner, no matter how many
or often they play the R.P.&E. hand, which the L.S.B. call Ballyhoo,
and well expressed, when we look for results that last.
I hope you will enjoy Isaiah 64 as the Prayer of the Woman body, and
notice there is no room for self-righteousness, and plenty of confession
of our unworthiness, the Marks of the Least and Little Ones.
People gathered from the Streets and Lanes of the city and Highways and Hedges, will not have much to boast of, nor will they appear much in the eyes of the R.P.& E. , but if they have heard the Voice of the Shepherd, you will see the Shepherd help them out in good shape, by the coming of John, when the Heavens rent, and the Mountains flow down at His Presence with His Messenger of Mal. 3, who comes to prepare the way of the Lord as in Isaiah 40.
Elijah of Mal. 4 was to come before the great and dreadful day of the Lord, to witness on the earth to the oven being heated for the proud and wicked, and its consequences, and to witness to those who fear his Name, and to be ready for the great and 1,000 year day.
The foolish virgins will prove to be those who heard the Message but did not hear the Shepherd’s Voice, and so are not sheep and so can only find their light going out, as we all slumber and sleep and weary on John’s coming.
Matt. 25 makes it all very simple if people will take time to read it, but most are fonder of cackle and talk than truly seeking the anointed understanding which the Spirit alone can give.
You will find it good to read Isa. 40 and Mal 3. And Mal. 4, with Isa. 64, 65:17 to end, and Isa. 66, all which fits in well with Rev. 22, and take time alone to get a good working understanding of those things, which are for today.
I wish you the Season’s greetings and His Biggest Blessings possible for all, and my love to all in Him.
Wm Irvine
