January 2, 1935
Jerusalem, Palestine.
My dear Ross and Lillian:
Thanks for yours. Glad you are able to get in touch with others which helps. But the greater need is to let the water flow to others who need to hear, rather than drinking it in only. A river is a flowing thing in the low part of the land, and so our job is to let it out to others, if we expect the Spirit to dwell in and speak by us which gives us such more direct help than in hearing others--There is always the danger of our human selfish nature operating in keeping us from being channels and no amount of excuse can supply our lack of effort directed by the Spirit in seeking to bear His Witness to all men.
Eddie Jack was a [heroic --------] worth seeking to imitate in the interest he had from first to last and his desire at all times to be helpful. His letters were a joy to read and specially so when we know his suffering for 4 years, from T.B. and away from all natural human care by his own people - I could wish for more of the same marks in many others for their own sake.
Jesus said He was anointed to preach the Gospel to those who were the debris of the religious world. Poor, broken-hearted, prisoners, blind and bruised - He simply said He was seeking pearls in the rubbish can of the religious world and had no use for the righteous. So we may often pass by people who are the very sort today we might find ready to eat and drink of the living bread and water from heaven. As we go to have fellowship with those who have eaten and drunk. So aim at giving freely and fully to all men what has been given fully and freely to you. For the Spirit in us can be grieved and hindered by our own selfish desire for more privilege. You will always feel more refreshed in [pain?- going?] this [b -an?] having to much to help ourselves and enjoy with little care for those who have no hope and no help. Even to witness to those who resist the Spirit will be refreshing to us. Read Acts 7 and see what one plain, honest, simple man could say and be. Before the great resisters who are but the Seed of Cain in our day. So aim at serving God by letting the Spirit bear witness thru us to others. God will take care of both ---recepters and resisters.
My Love in Him.
Wm. Irvine
Wm. Irvine's Letter to: Mary Ball and Bros., Aberdeen, Wash.
January 2, 1935
Jerusalem, Palestine
My Dear Mrs. Ball and Bros.:
Thanks for yours (4/12/34). I had heard of your husband's passing. I have a number of friends who have been very whole-hearted for the Man and Message of God from The Throne by the Spirit given freely to all who will hear and obey. They all left a good witness behind them. I can't see any difference whether people are here on the earth as His witnesses, or waiting to return with Him when he comes to reign. If the body is used up, it's merciful they should go, rather than suffer on.
I'm sure your husband had many longing desires for John to come from Heaven, and the Manchild be brought forth, but there are many who suffer in lesser forms who have the same desire, and my great joy is, that day will come, and we will all be more than satisfied in every sense of the word.
If your house took fire, would you not get out? So when the old body is consumed with disease it's but natural for the Spirit to get out. But it don't change the heart attitude to God and all who are of God. Your husband's dying wish was like what the Spirit in every man would desire once their eyes have been opened to see the awful sham and hypocrisy carried on by the Hireling and his victims. They love to have funeral, birth or marriage as part of their power and opportunity to deceive the people. This is true in all the religious of the world. Mr. Fixens advice was good, and it allowed them to carry thru their vain show, to please the eyes and ears of men, rather than God.
Read Luke 16 and see how clearly Jesus shows what takes place at death. It only opens our eyes to see the reality of Heaven and Hell, the one tormented in remembering his big time as a preacher, and the other finding the comfort of Abram's bosom. Can we doubt the Lord claiming His own, and the torment of disappointment and remorse. I have not one doubt about the result of men having ear and heart for God, finding God having ears and heart for all such.
I suffer because I know the time is not yet for Rev. 12 being fulfilled.
My Love and assurance that He will care for you,
Wm. Irvine

P. O. Box 696
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Don.
Thanks for yours. The M.O. came alright, and you need not be ashamed to let P.O. or any other know what you do.
I am no man’s hireling, but have lived by the Gospel as Jesus did and all the true Apostles, and never asked, or needed to ask any one for money, or a meal in 42 years. Miss Munsell gave you a very good opportunity to give her the Truth as to the hireling method, and that of living by the Gospel, and you had a glorious opportunity of reading them Matt. 25: and showing the Sheep care for the Man who is Least, and the Goats for their own hirelings. Don’t be too sensitive to criticism, and always keep in good humor rather than provoke, or resort to bitterness. To be wise as Serpents and harmless as doves is the wisdom of God to His Disciples.
It’s a great compliment to your masters to say they are real workers when the world is full of little else but bumming doling. Xmas was the hireling’s feast, but they would not have known the Man, Woman and Child Jesus in His day any more than they know the Man, Woman and Manchild in our day.
There is much talk about the New Star very bright shining over Bethlehem, which I see from my window. They claim the light from the star has taken 2,000 years to reach the Earth, and only now showing up in the Heavens. You can be sure that Isa. 64, 65 and 66 is more important than the star.
1943 has been a bad year of violence in Europe and other places, but drought, hurricane and floods have done more than the violence. All in the Plan and Purpose of God. Isa. 24 still holds, and is being fulfilled slowly but surely, and the Oven being heated for all who are proud and wicked doers. There are many signs of 1935 being worse than 1934, which is what all expect who believe the Message from the Throne.
Don’t fear to take the low place in all things. This is the mark of being conformed to the Image of His Son. All God accepts He sacrifices on the Altar of Service. Tho our old Adam nature will always cry out at our humiliation as it did on the Cross when Jesus cried, " My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Much of our suffering comes from this source, and is always a temptation to us, to seek our own and save ourselves, feelings , honour etc. We have heard the Shepherd’s voice (The Spirit) and Message from the Throne, and can see it being fulfilled every day. So cheer up. Read Acts VII and see the conflict of all ages.
My love in Him.

Wm Irvine's Letter To: Smiths
January 30, 1935
My dear Smith Family:
Thanks for yours. Glad you are able to weather the storm of your wicked enemies. If you were to send your family to a cemetery to get educated, the world would look on you as a fool. But to send them to a dead man’s home in the things of God is considered wise by the world. Read Matt. 23 and see what Jesus said to the Synagogues of all times and their leaders and people. He called them whited sepulchres full of dead men’s bones. So you are not so crazy as you appear. The craziness is in those who are dead to God and don’t know it, but show it by their attitude to all who have ears to hear what the Spirit saith today as the Message from the Throne. Rev. 18 is very correct of God’s opinion of the whole R.P.& E. world. Read Acts 7 and see what they, the Scriptural Pharisee leaders, thought of Stephen who was the most Spirit-filled man in Jerusalem, and see what he said to them - as your fathers did, so do ye always resisting the Holy Spirit - and this is what we find in the whole Religious World. We have now their children to face as we witness in the Spirit.
The Serpent and all his seed have always stood in the way of every man who ever had the Spirit of God come to dwell in him, which is the true mark of Christians. People who think knowing the Scriptures is knowing God, is the mark of the unregenerate devil possessed of every age from Cain to your preacher, and they are always high in reputation in the world, but full of iniquity and hypocrisy. Some get angry at any man whose hope is in God and those who have ears and eyes to see, by God’s working in them.
I notice you have 105 degrees of frost recorded in Iroquis Falls in Ontario and very cold all over the States with floods in Mississippi and 170 dead in U.S.A. and Canada. England and Europe have had very bad storms. So I expect 1935 will be worse than 1934. There is some talk of war between Russia and Japan in the day’s papers. You can be quite sure that God, Jesus and the Spirit witness on the earth will all be fulfilled and no escape possible of those who will not accept His Message. Isa. 61 shows it is either accept and be accepted of God or get the vengeance of God because of their attitude to Him, and we see the work of Judgment going on every day and everywhere.
My love and best wishes for the whole family in 1935.
Yours in Him,
Wm. Irvine
Wm. Irvine's Letter To: Percy Abbott, Eureka, Calif.
May 9, 1935
From: PO Box 696, Jerusalem, Palestine.
My dear Percy:
Thanks for yours enclosed in George Linn's today. Your interpretation of Matt. V:7 conditions is right. The Fountains have perfect right to ask the Government for help, as others have done in many places. I have encouraged a few who were in isolated places; but to beg, borrow or steal is dangerous for all, as it's violating the clear commands. They have no need to fear about getting to Jerusalem when the time comes, and they bear the worthy marks of the Bride.
Encourage all to seek to get and keep on their own feet, for all else is dangerous, and seldom works out the Righteousness of heart which can be honoured of God. I warned some against this years ago, so the responsibility will be theirs for we are clearly into the day of rewards; so I am not surprised at the boy in hospital. To help anyone is good, but it's dangerous if people in His name begin to help themselves from others.
Read Rev. 22: and get good working understanding of it; the Throne, the River and the Tree of Life, which every one can have right to as they hear and obey His commands.
Verse 6 shows the fullness of "Blessing" past, present and future to all who have right.
Verse 7: "Behold I come quickly" -- in Tribulation period, in contrast to the 21 years past. Blessed is (He) that keeping the sayings of the Prophecy of this Book.
Verse 12: Behold I come quickly (Now) my reward is with me, to give to every man according to his works.
Verse 14, Blessed are (they) that keep His commands for today in the Book made prophecy, that they may have right to the Tree of Life; and may enter into the city by the Gates.
Verse 16 - 21, is the summing up of the whole facts and leaves no room for quibbling about the Message of the Spirit by the Bride, whom the Spirit witnesses by. They who have hearing ears may say Come, the Thirsty and whom-so-ever will, may take the Waters of Life freely. A Bigger and Better Field for service awaits all who can rightly say "Come".
Verse 20, He which testifieth these things saith "Behold I come quickly and surely; and the only answer "Even so come Lord Jesus", rather than cry for Peace and Safety as they were doing world wide and Sept. 1st. and now getting their answer today.
Best love to all,
Wm. Irvine.
P.S. Thanks for all the other letters from that quarter which you can help in the way they need in hearing the Message and keeping it. W.I.
Wm Irvine's Letter To: Dunbars, Placentia, CA
May 30, 1935
PO Box 696
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Dunbars:
Thanks for yours. Glad you are all in good shape. I have all along, looked for those marks, and no hope can be held out for any who try bumming or wrangling in any shape or form. And even to give encouragement to hear by showing favor in any shape is fatal to them. To make a meal ticket of the Message defeats the very promises which are for the Blessed. Whatever hinders people from getting, having, and using the Spirit’s Message and Man can only end in defeating the very object aimed at. It’s Sheep who can claim the promises, which should cover all our needs. And we are not blind to seeing what marks the Foolish, as well as the Wise Virgins—the good and faithful servants, from the slothful and wicked. So you acted wisely, and wherever you see bumming or any such tendency, rebuke it sharply, rather than allow the foolish to feed on the Wise. For He reads the heart and gives according to what He finds there. So there can be no room for any deceit in the matter.
Another form of it is seen in people making excuses in place of using what they have. I notice in some, a tendency to be anxious to cultivate fellowships with others, and find excuse for visiting the Little Ones, under pretext of hearing more. And some letters bear the same marks. The Message is for all in the highways, etc. No matter what their condition, but the Wedding Garment will not cover triflers who go on playing the fool, when they have heard, and fail to consider Him coming to sup with them. Such a privilege should make people keen to cultivate conditions that make it comfortable for Him to dwell in. But we can’t refuse to give everyone a chance to hear; but to hear and abuse their privilege can only end in defeat.
The Kaiser’s clock was sold last week, which surely is humiliation, and probably the end of the Silver Jubilee of Daniel 4.
Broadcasting is now on here, and the Moscow airplane smash marks the great Eagle of Revelation 12; along with revolt in Euphrates and Iraq; along with *Lawrence’s death. The report of Supreme Court decision in USA is very serious matter for USA.
My love to all,
William Irvine.

Wm. Irvine’s Letter To: Bakers, Denver, Colorado
July 9, 1935
My dear Bakers (All):
Thanks for your letter. You have so much to thank God for, though you will only have a little foretaste of all it means; but you will find His Spirit give you peace, joy, comfort and hope which you never could have before, as you open your mouth wide to all you meet, and find the Spirit fill it with words and wisdom. If you had found satisfaction in the old Gospel of Alpha days, you would have been like the whole of Babylon described in Rev. 18, and its ministry as in Rev. 17. The Testimony bears all these marks, and was the 7 churches; my 21 years’ work in the various parts of the world, where my feet had trod as His Alpha Servant, and so became His Angel or sent one to them, to testify the Revelation Message, which is the program for the Judgment of all Nations and every man, separating into sheep and goats the whole world, by their attitude to the Man and Message of God by the Spirit on the earth, as God and Jesus are on the Throne.
Rev. 22 makes the whole matter very simple and clear and strong. The River flowing, as we hear and obey, so that the Living waters flow from our lips. The Tree of Life growing – now fruiting – while the leaves, or witness of the Living Branches, are for the healing of the smitten nations, or the hewing down of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil of the Garden. As one grows, the other is to fall away and perish from off the earth. Verses 3, 4, and 5 of Rev. 22 shows what will happen as the Tree of Life grows, and the old R.P. & E. corrupt tree perishes from off the earth.
Verse 6 – These sayings are faithful (or full of faith to all who hear and obey) and True, for the Spirit will seal them in all who hear and obey, and the Lord God of the Holy Prophets sent His angel to show unto His Servants who obey Him, the things which must shortly be done. Revelation and all the Truth for Judgment days was Sealed till the time of the End. “Behold, I come quickly,” refers to the days we are now in. Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings (by the Spirit) of the prophecy (or reading of the Spirit by the angel) of this Book.
Verses 8 and 9 shows us the meeting of John from Heaven, and His angel or Servant on the Earth (shortly). Verse 10, Seal not, open to all, the Sayings of the prophecy of this Book – Revelation; for the time is at hand. Verse 11 – the unjust, filthy, righteous, and holy, will all be tested by their attitude to the Message from the Throne by the sent angel. Verse 12 – rewards for every man, according to their hearing or refusing. Verse 13, I am Alpha, as I was to my disciples of old, who had ears for the Spirit’s Message then, and so again, and Omega the avenger and Judge of all who are the resisters of the Message, or the piercers, or those who bear the Matt. 23 marks today; the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
You can see how many hang on to what He was 1900 years ago, and reject His Message from the Throne. They profess to accept the first, and reject the last. Verse 14 – Blessed are they that keep His commandments of Revelation, in hearing and obeying and witnessing to these things, that they may have right, or be part of the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates (not over the wall) into the City.
Verse 15 – For without, or outside of those who hear and obey, are Dogs, and you will have plenty of proof. Sorcerers, who contradict all He says today, by quoting Scripture, as did the Scribes and Pharisees who crucified Jesus according to their reading of the Scriptures. Whoremongers who listen to and have fellowship with any of they who preach and get honor, place and power and reward. Murderers of the Cain sort who measure men by their sins and themselves by their righteousness.
John’s 1st Epistle shows them as they turn their back on their brother. Idolaters – those who look to leaders who have been produced by anything but being sent of God, all of whom loveth and maketh a lie, or who refuse, and contradict anything which is of God. Verse 16 – I, Jesus, have sent mine angel – or sent one – to Testify these things in the churches – not Babylon – but what was my work in Alpha 21 years up to 1914. The 7 churches of Asia was the work of Paul, and was made the basis for the churches of my labors.
Revelation is Prophecy which had no meaning till the time came. All they of Asia forsook Paul, and all the true apostles, and were dominated by the false. I am the Root and off-spring of all who are the David – or anointed seed – and the Bright and morning star, or the source of Light, leading into the New Day as in Mal. 4. Verse 17 – The Spirit and the Bride, or those who hear the Message of the angel sent one, are the Bride who say Come, and all who hear and are not the Bride say Come, and whosoever will may take of the Water of Life freely.
Verses 18 and 19. Jesus testifies to every man that heareth the words of the Prophecy by the Bride – or those who hear – if they add to or take from, it will be fatal to them, and evidence of not hearing and obeying Him. Verse 20 – He which testifieth these things, Saith (today) Behold I come quickly, (in the next 7 years), and all who hear and obey say, “Even so, Come Lord Jesus.” The Spirit says, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all,” who hear and obey, but not one ray of hope or comfort for any others.
My Love and Best Wishes for all who bear your name,
Wm. Irvine

Wm Irvine's Letter To: Maurice Canada
August 17, 1935
PO Box 696
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Maurice & Co:
Thanks for Mrs. Kelly's, Arcuri's, Westlund's, Hansen's, and 2 from Gordon, with photos from Kelly's and Gordon.
I think it better to give you one, than to write too many now, as I expect to hear the results in favor and deliverance, by Michael and his angels, of all who have benefited by the Man and Message, and so have oil in their vessels. The wise shall shine as the firmament, or be able to give to any hungry, thirsty person the waters of life, and they that turn many to righteousness, are to have oil in their vessels [and shine] as the stars forever and ever. So we can be sure that the wise will be able to give anyone in need all the help they want, without any help from me. The foolish will not be able to do this. So I will confine my attention more to hearing results from the wise in their witness, and the favors and deliverance they enjoy, as well as the reports of troubles, which are sure to come to all who are the sort who cast the Daniel seed into the fiery furnace, or Daniel into the Lion's den; for Daniel and his friends are but samples of the Least and Little Ones.
The Spirit and Bride say, Come; let him that heareth say, Come; he that is thirsty and whosoever will, let them take of the Water of Life freely. All who are the Wise can expect the waters to flow, which simply means that what I have been to you, you can be to all you meet. The Message is practically complete, and now it's to see the fruits of it in the wise and foolish virgins, the servants and the sheep and goats.
Jesus says, I testify to everyone that heareth the words of this prophesy. If they shall add to, they will share the plagues, or take from--their name shall be taken out of the Book of Life. These things reveal where we are at now, so we expect great flow of waters and greater blessing to all, and by all, assured that Michael and his angels are for, with, and by us in the battle. So more zeal, courage, and confidence is the lot of all who have oil in their vessels, and who have talents increased by all the use of privileges of other days. So I will be more keen to hear results, than to share in the labor of pouring out more.
Revelation 22-God and Jesus, the River, the Spirit Message to produce the tree now fruiting, and its leaves for the healing of the nations, is the wise virgins with oil in their vessels, now being revealed and the results seen in added opportunity and power to witness. So let all be alive to their greater privilege.
Best love to all,
Wm. Irvine
Wm Irvine's Letter To: Morgans, Santa Ana, Calif.
September 6, 1935
PO Box 696
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Morgans:
Thanks for yours and photo. You need not worry about any one or any thing. The great day of rewards has come, and you will see it very clearly and very shortly. Get all the help you can to understand Revelation 22 and notice the verse 13, Behold, or see by the Spirit, I come quickly, not as in the past 21 years, but in next 7 years which will end the whole programme - My reward is with me to give every man according to his works. Verse 14, Blessed are they that do His commandments, as we got to know the Message of Revelation read by the Sent One of Jesus, as in verse 16. "Commandments" there refers to the guidance of the Witness, Leader and Commander the Lord says He has made His Servant. All who obey MY guidance have a right to the Tree of Life and may enter in thru the Gates into the City, or New Jerusalem
Verse 15 shows what we have around us, and the religious are worse than the sinners. "Without" simply means what we find who are inside and with hearing ears and obedient hearts. The contrast is more manifest every day, the one to have mercy-protection, the other to be destroyed in one way or another of the four ways: war, famine, pestilence, and plagues, or the four forms of judgments, or reward of the wicked in Ps 91, which we can see working around us every day. We don't expect much from Verse 15 dogs, etc., but let them play up all they want to. The more they play, the surer and swifter their reward, and it's all depending on their attitude to the Man and Message from the Throne. Read Verses 16 to 21 and you see the whole facts. I, Jesus, have sent mine Angel to testify these things to those who profess to have life, but they can neither add to or take from my reading of Revelation, and happy are all They who can say, "Even so come Lord Jesus," as you have revealed from the Throne.
My love and sympathy

Wm Irvine's Letter To: Hulls
September 7, 1935
My dear Hulls, Thompson and Co:
Thanks for yours. The world is trembling with fear of what’s coming on the earth today - in spite of their ignorance, simplicity, conceit and rebellion - as they see all their hopes in R.P.& E. beginning to totter and fall. You can see the most audacious are those under God’s delusion in believing the lie about the Rapture. Verse 11 of Rev. 22 - He that is unjust, filthy, Righteous or Holy. Verse 12 says - Behold, I come quickly - now in Harvest days - my reward as Alpha to my present day disciples, by the Man and Message He sent from the Throne, and as Omega in Wrath to all others - is with me to give every man according to his works, or the use he made of my Message, or the consequences of refusing, resisting or missing it in his simplicity. For apart from the Faithful and True witness of God and Jesus by the Spirit, there is no hope of regeneration, which is the sure mark He demands in all who are to escape.
People may fool and trifle with the Message, but there is only one, and to that Death and Hell. Blessed are they who do His Commands from the Throne, made easy and plain by the Witness, Leader and Commander, in contrast to all of Moses’ commandments and of the Alpha commands, which so many profess to follow while rejecting the living God and Jesus by the Spirit through His sent Servant. All who truly obey have a right to the Tree of Life, and their words and witness have healing for all who receive them, and may enter in through the Gates into the city FOR outside of this we have only Dogs, which covers all sorts - sorcerers who say anything in name of God. Whoremongers who listen to and pay anyone who brings them the lie. Murders who hate, and would do violence to all who bear His Message of Life. Idolators who listen to and worship God by their own hand-made Images; and all whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Verses 14 and 15 give us the 2 possibilities for all on the Earth; no hole or corner work there. 16 to 20 puts the whole matter in clear definite order - their rewards clear to all who truly have received His Message, and warning to all who would trifle. So let all live by what they have got of the Message and use it in proof, in seeking to help others to taste of the Living Waters. No Bluff, Blah, or cackling is any use.
My love to all,
Wm. Irvine.
Obedience is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of Rams. Though sacrifice always bulks larger in other’s eyes. The obedient, hearkening heart is being perfected by the Spirit working in. I have noticed these things for many years, and no one can doubt which is vest and safest for those who do it, and those who look on. Not what our Humanity can be, but what he can put in by His Spirit, and work by us on and in others. Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisee - or outward influence - in contrast to His Spirit truly working in us and by us. W.I.
If Fred, Mary and Frank were not there building a house, or shack, or anything else, the many around there might not benefit by what you can supply, and what many lack - Good common Horse Sense. If there should be some foolish virgins left around there, they maybe glad of the house Fred and Frank built, when they no longer need it. To be able and willing to have 20 come and share your hospitality in the Heavenly and Earthy fare, is no small privilege, which I hope they will value, and go and do likewise. W.I.
Wm. Irvine's Letter To: John Byers
September 7, 1935
My dear John and Co:
Thanks for yours. You are but finding out what most people are. That what's human is but vanity apart from it being His Temple.
The value of Revelation Message from the Throne, is that men can choose whether to hear, obey and live, or go on their own ways with their own thoughts and perish.
There shall be no more curse. Rev. 22:3 simply means there shall be no more time or room on earth for the unregenerate who choose what they find suits them rather than what will accomplish His purpose in them in others. Vs. 6 says - These sayings are faithful or full of faith for those who hear and obey them, and true, or what God will honor or dishonor; the Lord God of the Holy Prophets sent His angel to show unto His servants what must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this Book, for the time is at hand. How the harvest has come - whether men are unjust, filthy, Holy or Righteous - won't make any difference.
Behold, I come quickly - which means in the tribulation days now on in place of the 21 years now past. My reward is with me to give to every man according to his works, whether these be the result of hearing and obeying His Message from the Throne or in going on in his own thoughts and ways.
Vs. 14, Blessed are they who keep His Commandments as made known by His servant sent to read and make prophecy the words of His Book. Not Moses' Commandments or the Gospel Commandments but what came from the Throne today, that they may have a right to the Tree of Life and may enter the gates into the city.
Vs. 15, For without, or outside of this, God only sees dogs, sorcerers, murderers, whoremongers and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Vs. 5-21 is the sum total of the whole, and happy are all those who can say, Come Lord Jesus, surely and quickly without any excuse or quibble, so it's your battle or choice as for every other.
My love in Him to all there,
Wm. Irvine
P.S. The Great day has come and who shall be able to stand, if His Spirit is not in them, and the test is their reception and obedience to His Message, which is the test for professors of having life.
If they add to or take from His Message they will find their part taken out of the Book of Life. Flesh and blood or humanity without being born into His Family can never inherit the Kingdom. Good, bad, or indifferent. W. I.

Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Mrs. Hill
Thanks for yours. Your last question is easily answered by the fact that people who kept the Sabbath Day best, and were careful tithers, and also keepers of the law, were those who were the means of putting HIM to DEATH, and so today, are all who put emphasis on keeping the Sabbath, which was but a typical matter. The true keeping of the Sabbath is to cease from our own thoughts and ways and let God work in you and by you, by His Spirit, as in Isaiah 55, where you have a perfect guide for the people on the Earth, if people feel their need of such.
Revelation is the program for judging of all the nations and every man on the face of the whole earth. Half has been fulfilled in the past 21 years. Now comes the Tribulation years with world war, famine, pestilence, and plagues The Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 will appear when the war begins in earnest. If these days were not shortened, there would be no flesh saved, but for the Elect's sake, on the earth, they will be shortened to seven years.
Revelation 17, The Whore and her daughters covers the whole religious world of false prophets, or they who read and try to read the Book, pretty much as the Scribes and Pharisees, then and now, do.
Revelation 18, The Spirit (by all whom He dwells in) cries, "Come out of her my people." If you can hear this, then you may begin to get understanding.
Revelation 1:3 shows who are "Blessed," or given the Spirit to read Revelation, which was a closed book until 1914, when the war began. Blessed is he that readeth, and they who hear the words of this prophecy, for the time is at hand.
Revelation 22:6-7 shows Jesus sent His Angel, or Servant, to show to His servants things which must shortly be done. So you see one at the beginning and end, and all through, but the world of false prophets, by the Devil's deceivings, has greater power to blind and keep in darkness, those who are content with their own thoughts and ways.
Matthew 22, 23, 24 & 25 are all good reading for today. The goats don't need God and Jesus' sent Servant, they have their own made, chosen, and paid preacher, and so Goats. There are many in and around Los Angeles whom you can trust to read Revelation to you as the Spirit has given unto me, and by me, to them. Mr. Emil Ritzman, 2205 La Paloma,St., Alhambra, is not far from you. I have known him for years.

Thanks for yours. Sorry to hear of Lillian's condition and hope it's but a test which John's coming will reveal the healing power by. I would have given the Dr.'s a chance long ago, for they can do best when early help is asked for. I will be glad to hear of developments.
We are certainly near the great day of Revelation 12. They have been working for 9 days on the peace plans, but darker every day. You can see the League peace pact security ripening every day, for dominion is to be given to the Leopard. Every move only makes clearer the program concentrated in Revelation.
I have enjoyed Revelation 22:1-5. The River flowing and the Tree of Life growing on the Earth, and all the purposes, plans and promises given.
Verse 6, "These sayings are faithful and true, and the Lord, God of the Holy Prophets, sent His Angel to shew to all who are His servants what, or the things, which must shortly be done." This reveals the Prophet sent, when the things were coming to be fulfilled, and not the Angel, which John saw and heard. "Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of the book."
Verse 9 shows the 2 Witnesses. John and the Prophet on the Earth, who made the book prophecy by his reading and witness.
Verse 10, seal not the sayings, but make them known to all, unjust, filthy, righteous or holy for they will be judged by their works for or against the revelation He is giving, and that, for the future as well as the past. The same message will be the only hope till the work is finished. "Quickly" refers to this period we are now into.
Verses 14-15 shows who are in and who are outside in their 6-fold wickedness.
6:1-21 gives the authority, I, Jesus, sent mine Angel to gather out the Woman Body from the churches. So the Spirit and Bride say "Come," and all who have ears, and no man can question the servants of witness and fail to get judgment.
My love in Him,
Wm. Irvine
Let not fear or doubt weaken you in the great battle. Favor and deliverance are ours, no matter how dark it may appear.
Wm Irvine’s Letter To: Dunbars
September 14, 1935
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Dunbars:
How different people are today, when war seems imminent in spite of their prayers and plans to evade His righteous judgment on all nations creating for us, who have wakened, arisen, trimmed our lamps and prepared to go forth as His witnesses to God and Jesus on the Throne, from whence has gone forth the River in its flow and the Tree of Life growing with added fruit and leaves for all who feel their need of healing.
You can contrast what we were in our early reading of Revelation 1, 2 & 3 in contrast to the clear witness we can bear in our reading of Revelation 22. Slowly, step by step, line upon line, we have been able to read, and others to hear, the fullness of His Message which makes Revelation 22:6 easy to read: The Lord, God of the holy prophets, sent His Angel to show to His servants the things which will (must) shortly come to pass. This is the Elijah marks.
I, Jesus have sent mine Angel to testify these things to the churches. I am the Root of the Anointed Seed, and the Offspring, in all who will share in the anointing, and the Bright and Morning Star, or light for the dawning of a new day. This has produced the Bride, now as the mouthpiece of the Spirit, and so she says "Come" and all who hear may say "come," even if not the Bride, and whosoever will, may take of the Water of Life freely, as world-wide and free as was the Alpha Gospel. A new gospel for a new day, and the Bride, the mother of all who will live by it, and so she will shine as the firmament and as the stars forever and ever.
It’s the Adam and Eve of a new creation of the Meek, who shall inherit. Adam created from the dust of the earth under their feet; Eve taken from his side. The words are all eloquent for today. The Manchild brought forth as a sample of the fullness of our inheritance as the high-called in Christ Jesus, *[have] been the same. Behold, I come quickly, my reward is with me to give to every man according to his works, for or against what comes from the Throne. Not by their unjust works, filthy, righteous or holy, but measured by their attitude, words and actions to what He has revealed and our oppy [opportunity] will increase as troubles increase, as troubles increase.
My love to all,
William Irvine
Wm. Irvine's Letter To: Lees
September 20, 1935
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Lees:
What a silly old couple you are to think there are no other "Lees" in the world. I am sorry you have given yourselves two months' torment. I referred to Lees in Mary Hull's district, who have proved very foolish in their human relationships. I think you have put up a great fight for a crust, and come through wonderfully. And it's not mine, even, to judge between the Foolish and Wise, but to encourage all and let Him make clear, by His rewards, who are, and what is what.
The River is flowing and the Tree of Life is growing, and all that's there written in Revelation 22:1-5 is true and faithful. And the Lord, God of the Holy Prophets sent His Angel to show to all who are His servants, and show it by hearing and bearing the Message, the things which must shortly be done. (not in Tribulation Days.) "Behold, I come quickly" to fulfill all these things we have been witnessing to. "Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy Of this book."
Verse 11 shows 4 sorts: Unjust, filthy, righteous, and holy. But these are only world marks. The rewards of verse 12 is for those who are against Him. Verse 14, Blessed are they that do his commandments, in these things and days, that they may have right to claim the Tree of Life and my enter in through the Gates into the City; for outside of them there are only the whole religious zoo crowds with the 6 marks by which we know the proud and the wicked.
Verse 16, "I, Jesus. have sent mine angel to testify these things in the 7 churches of Alpha days, when the time is at hand to gather the Woman-Bride, who is the mouthpiece of the Spirit, who are to say, "Come" as well as all who heareth may say, "Come," and whosoever will, as in Alpha days.
Verse 18 shows it's for the days when the two witnesses may put on the plagues written in this book of Revelation. "if any man add to the words of this prophecy, God will add the plagues." So it's for today.
So our Message not only gives us life, but we have the Message of Life to offer to all who are thirsty, and there will be many such, as soon as we see war break out between the pro-League and the anti-League world.
Revelation 19 is a record of the union of the League and the Religious Western World; but verses 9 and 11 are for us.
My love in Him,
Wm. Irvine
I hope you may have some comfort ere this reaches you.
Wm. Irvine's Letter To: Hooes
September 27, 1935 - Jewish New Year
PO Box 696
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear Walter, Ellen & Co.
Thanks for yours (2) and Diva's. I would enjoy meeting the 6 on the way to school and bombard them with some ripe peaches, so they could show the marks when they got home. It's quite a job keeping them all healthy, hearty and jolly in these days, and I enjoy the sure and certain hope in His care and provision for all who are in the secret place and under His wings.
It was good to hear about some gathering in Irvine Park for a little Tête-à-tête, and I'm quite sure the Godhead had more interest in these few than He has in the Geneva Conferences, etc., to evade the very war which is but a step towards our deliverance from the present evil conditions on the face of the whole earth. If He sits on the Throne laughing at Geneva, etc, I believe He smiles to see a few Little Ones to talk together of the Man and Message by which He offers salvation and protection to all who have ears and heart for what comes from His heart and mind in fulfilling His purpose from the foundation of the world. For there is nothing happening but what is the consummation of His plan.
Revelation 22 becomes easy to read now that we have as the Prophet, the Angel sent to shew His servants things which must shortly be done. The River flows, the Tree of Life grows, and the City is being built, the wall raised, and the Gates formed and opened in all who truly hear and obey.
Verses 6 & 7 are very reassuring to all who keep the sayings of the prophecy of this book--Man and Message Work. The book is dead to all who have no reader or who hear not what the Spirit saith. The day will come when they will believe He sent His Angel, just as they believe today on all the past prophets and servants sent.
Verses 3-5 are wonderful promises for all who hear and keep his commandments in bearing His witness to the world. Verse 11 shows it don't matter whether people are unjust, filthy, righteous Or holy. Their reward depends on their attitude to His Man and Message of Revelation. They will either be for or against him and their reward according to. Verse 14, Blessed are they who do it. Verse 15, For without, outside of they who do it, there are nothing but the whole Babylonian numbers, six-fold, in making a lie as the others are the true witnesses despised and rejected of the numbers, but beloved and valued as the seed of the coming Kingdom and have ears and heart for what comes from His heart and mind in fulfilling His purpose from the foundation of the world. For there is nothing happening but what is the consummation of His plan.

Wm. Irvine’s Letter To: Bakers, Denver, Colorado
September 27, 1935 (Jewish New Year Day)
P. O. Box 696
Jerusalem Palestine
My Dear Bakers (All):
Thanks for your letters. You have much to thank God for, though you will only have a little foretaste of all it means, but you will find His Spirit gives you peace, joy, comfort, and hope which you never could have had before, as you open your mouth wide to all you meet and find the Spirit fill it with words and wisdom. If you had found satisfaction in the old Gospel of Alpha days you would have been like the whole of Babylon described in Rev. 18:, and it’s ministry as in Rev. 17:. The Testimony bears all these marks, and was the 7 churches. My 21 years work in the various parts of the world where my feet had trod as His Servant, and so became His angel or sent one to them, to testify the Revelation Message, which is program for the Judgment of all nations and every man, separating into sheep & goats the whole world by their attitude to the Man and Message of God, by the Spirit on the earth as God and Jesus are on the Throne.
Rev. 22: Makes the whole matter very simple and clear and strong. The River flowing as we hear and obey, so that the living waters flow from our lips. The Tree of life growing and fruiting while the Leaves or witness of the living Branches are for the healing of the smitten nations, or the hewing down of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil of the Garden, as one grows the other is to fall away and perish from off the earth. Verses 3, 4 and 5 of Rev. 22 shows what will happen as the Tree of life grows and the old R.P.&E. ( Religious, Political & Educated) corrupt tree perishes from off the earth.
Vs. 6: These sayings are faithful (or full of faith to all who hear & obey) and True, for the Spirit will seal them in all who hear & obey, and the Lord God of the Holy Prophets sent His angel to show unto His Servants, who obey Him, the things which must shortly be done. Revelation and all the truth for Judgment days was Sealed till the time of the end. Behold, I come quickly, refers to the days we are now in. Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings ( by the Spirit) of the prophecy (or reading by the Spirit by the angel) of this Book.
Vs. 8 and 9: Shows us the meeting of John from Heaven and His angel or Servant on the earth (Shortly)
Vs. 10: Seal not, open to all, the Sayings of the prophecy of this Book, Revelation, FOR the time is at hand. Vs. 11: The unjust, filthy, righteous and holy will all be tested by their attitude to the Message from the Throne by the sent angel. Vs. 12: Rewards for every man according to their hearing or refusing.
Vs. 13: I am Alpha, as I was to my disciple of old, who had ears for the Spirit’s Message then, and so again, and Judge and avenger of all who are the resisters of the Message, or the piercers, or those who bear the Matt. 23 marks today—the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. You can see how many hang onto what he was 1900 years ago, and reject His Message from the Throne. They profess to accept the 1st and reject the last.
Vs. 14: Blessed are they that keep His commandments of Rev. in hearing and obeying and witnessing to these things that they may have right, or be part of the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates (not over the wall) into the city.
Vs. 15: For without, or outside of those who hear and obey, are Dogs, and you will have plenty of proof. Sorcerers, who contradict all he says today, by quoting Scripture, as did the Scribes and Pharisees who crucified Jesus according to their reading of the Scriptures. Whoremongers, who listen to and have fellowship with any of they that preach and get honor, place and power and reward. Murderers, of the Cain sort who measure men by their sins and themselves by their righteousness.
John’s 1st Epistle shows them as they who turn their back on their brother. Idolaters, those who look to leaders who have been produced by anything but being sent of God, all of whom loveth and maketh a lie, or who refused and contradict anything is of God.
Vs. 16: I, Jesus have sent mine angel, or Sent-One, to testify these things in the churches, not Babylon, but what was my work in Alpha 21 years up to 1914. The 7 churches of Asia, was the work of Paul and was made the basis for the churches of my labors.
Revelation is prophecy which had no meaning till the time came. All they of Asia forsook Paul and all true Apostles, and were dominated by the False. I am the Root and the off-spring of all who are the David or anointed seed, and the Bright and morning star, or the source of light leading into the new day, as in Malachi 4.
Vs, 17: The Spirit and the Bride, or those who hear the Message of the angel sent-one are the Bride who say come, and all who hear but are not the Bride say Come. And who-so-ever will may take of the water of life freely.
Vs 18-19: Jesus testifies to every man that heareth the words of the prophecy by the Bride or those who hear, – if they add to or take from, it will be fatal to them, and evidence of not hearing and obeying Him. Vs. 20: He which Testifieth these things Saith (today), Behold I come quickly, (in these next 7 years) and all who hear and obey say " Even so, Come Lord Jesus." The Spirit says, "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all," who hear and obey, but not one ray of hope or comfort for any others.
My love and best wishes for all who bear your name.

Wm. Irvine's Letter To: Hansens
October 25, 1935
My dear Hansens:
Thanks for 3 from you 2 which I prize very highly. I don't trouble about the foolishness of any. That's their business, not mine. We are here above all things to learn to forgive as God forgives; and from the cradle to the grave, we and all man on the earth, are exercised daily and hourly; as well drive a hungry, famishing person from the table or fire, as to refuse to forgive. And you have found the only solution to all human problems, in having found out the need, and in being willing to forgive.
The Devil's only cure for human ills and troubles, is to accuse, condemn, scandalize, hate, hurt, and kill. The commandments and example as Jesus gives, is like the fire screen, which keeps the children from falling in the fire, which burns and causes suffering and scars. I still groan when I remember many of my follies. But He heals, where others would hurt and accuse.
All our sins and follies is but proof of what He says we are in Adam, or by our human nature, while all that Jesus has revealed, is what He purposes to make us when finished, if we will let Him work in us to will and do of His own good pleasure. So cheer up and let the world know we Overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our Testimony, and loving not our lives to the death. Rev. 12.
So let nothing shut your mouths. We are not troubled about the Devil-possessed who are always like a roaring lion around us, seeking whom he may devour. You can see the war started, which will rid the earth of all who are the oppressing, killing seed on the earth. Here is the patience and faith of the saints.
So if your hearts are sweetened by your experience, not of the fire - but of the Healing of His Grace, Love, Mercy, and forgiveness, it only proves that all things work for our good who are called according to His purpose, that of being made after the Image of His Son.
My love to both and all others,
Wm. Irvine
Wm. Irvine's Letter To: Berglinds
November 22, 1935
My dear Berglinds:
Thanks for yours. Glad to hear June is feeling better, and no matter what people are, say or do, our job as His Sons and Servants by whom the Spirit witnesses to the simple or ignorant, the scorners and fools who hate knowledge, who are outside the R. P. & E. camp, we are showing that we have the same wisdom Solomon had when he prophesied in Prov. 1 for these days. Notice vs. 20-23, how it describes our witness and the results to follow in vs. 24-32, while vs. 33 shows the nature of - Hearkeneth in Peace and Safety - while Omega wrath is poured out on all who refuses to hear and obey the Spirit.
People forget that in hearing the Message from the Throne by the Spirit, it’s God speaking to them and holding out a friendly hand, and in refusing what the Spirit of God prompts us to do, they are refusing the Godhead though it’s done through our lips and persons. The Devil always uses the high-ups and cultured man to deceive.
Noah, in his farmer- carpenter manner of life and way of speech, was not known as a Prophet till the flood came and took them all away. Abram was the Prophet who dared not go down to Sodom. But the Dead Sea is a monument to remind the world that Abram was the Prophet. There was plenty of Religious leaders in Sodom, for they had plenty of Bread and Pleasure in the 5 cities of the plain. But no use for the Bread and Water by the Prophet, or Lot or the 2 angels He sent to warn them, and sent low, brutish men to dishonor the Servants.
You notice Jerusalem, the great city where also our Lord was crucified, is Spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, as in Rev. 11:, reminds us that Jerusalem today and when they kill the 2 witnesses, is just like Sodom and Egypt when Moses and Abram were the Prophets - where the 2 witnesses will witness to them. Jesus said, as it was in Noah and Abram’s day, so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man bearing witness to Omega Wrath coming on the earth. The Jews today are making money out of the potash in the Dead Sea, the ashes of the destroyed people now being used for manure.
So when men won’t hear the Message of the Angel of Rev. 22, they are only doing what was done in all other ages and which Solomon in Prov. 1 says would be. So our joy does not depend on them, but in being able to hear and bear witness to any we can reach. It proves we are wise virgins with Oil in our vessels and good and faithful Servants as in Matt. 25. Read Ps. 45 to 72 which are specially for these days and you will get much fresh comfort and assurance.
My love to all there,
Wm. Irvine
Wm Irvine's Letter To: Kerrs
December 8, 1935
My dear Kerrs (3):
Thanks for yours. It's a long journey to look back on since we were giving the world Alpha offer and warning and now to see where we are and the more definite message for these days in fulfilling what Alpha was, but the warning of Rev. 22:6-7, and 16 is all too clear to anyone who truly has heart enough to hear what the Spirit witnesses to the world.
Though the Least and Little Ones are few and feeble, we can see the Terrible results to the whole Daniel 2 Image and Babylon of Rev. 17 and 18, while the 2 witnesses and woman will become the center for the 144,000, who will be the New Spiritual Israel, the seed of Abram in that they have ears and heart to obey and by them the great multitude will be gathered from the ends of the earth to welcome His coming. The proud and wicked must perish. The Meek of the earth will be redeemed and gathered. So our efforts are not so pointless, as many are apt to think. People are very ready to look back or up, but fall over those in whom the Spirit of God dwells, who is and always has been the test.
The living God, speaking in and by the Least and little ones is more value than in Noah or Abraham, for they will offer Salvation and deliverance to the whole world as well as the destruction of the proud and wicked doers who will not hear God's Spirit speaking in any age. The Flood was proof that Noah was a prophet. The dead Sea, 125 x 25 miles of the saltiest water on the Earth in the Lowest Basin on the Earth, 1300 feet deep and 1300 feet below Sea Level, and now the Jews taking the potash left, and by the burning of the 5 cities of the plains, proving Abraham was the Prophet of his day, and his words were God's warning to men about to perish as a sample of conditions now at hand. Plenty of Bread, Idleness, and Religion in those cities, very much what we see in the world today, and yet to be destroyed as surely as Sodom. Plain simple scriptural facts for all who will hear what the Spirit saith to those who profess to have ears - though many may not have.
My love in Him,
Wm. Irvine
Wm Irvine's Letter To: Adams
December 8, 1935
My dear Adams:
Thanks for yours. Glad you are keeping better and improving. These conditions may be helpful for us to draw out the idle words from many who have heard and not heeded. The surer our hope as we see the world dead, deaf, and blind, and most so amongst those who pretend the most and have had the greatest privilege. I have enjoyed much the purifying, making white and trying all who hear, or profess to hear by the various forms of Testing for all to see whether Matt. 18 conditions are really found in them. This chapter has very simple and subtle truth in it - cutting off of hand, foot, and plucking out of right eye seems to fit into the conditions of purifying, making white, and trying, that they may understand the heart and mind of God, so difficult in our days. But if people are worthy of such marks, you will see how tenderly He will feel and think about those who have suffered that others may benefit.
The virgins, good and faithful, and wicked servants, will all be finding out where they are, and why. The virgins, whether they have oil or no oil. The Servants adding to or losing out. We can't see at once what’s taking place, but it will become more manifest as the days pass.
I hope you can see how Psalms, Proverbs, Eccles., and Song of Songs are all the words for the music in the hearts of all who have the Spirit when the works are being done in finishing up the long suffering and period preparatory to His coming into His own - as purposed from the foundation of the world - when all who have ever been hungry enough to welcome and value His gifts of Sonship and service and paying the price In their short probation period on the Earth, which explains the WHY of the Saints - How long O Lord - In Heaven, which will be keener than even our impatience on the Earth, to end the seed whose chief marks is to accuse, scandalize, despise, and persecute. To think of a world, 1000 years of Eternity, where there will be no such marks, but where the fruit of the Spirit will mark all, from the Least to the greatest. Most people's idea of Heaven is what they will get, whereas our joy will be in giving to others what God has been and will be Forever, and finding no Joy but in giving, rather than in getting.
All His giving of Love, Grace, Mercy, and Peace is but to make us of the same nature He has revealed in Jesus and given us to taste by the Spirit - in spite of our human selfish nature. I wish all there a true Xmas in sharing and sharing with others His anointing and it’s fruits.
My love to all,
Wm. Irvine
Wm Irvine's Letter To: John Byers
December 12, 1935
Jerusalem, Palestine
My dear John and family:
Thanks for yours. The Law in the Kingdom of God, or in those who are being made partakers of His nature, is grace, spontaneous and voluntary on His part and on our part. The human or carnal, is self-centered and self-seeking, and entirely at variance with Divine. The human can always rob us and God of what is eternal, by it's aggressive, selfish claims which are but Vanity, and crowd out the things and claims of God.
It's the legitimate human claims, which are most deadly in hindering. Rev. 3:20 is probably the simplest way of putting His claims today. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock" - the Godward. "If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to sup with him; and he with me." A very gracious, courteous way of becoming our guest, and sharing and using what is ours. And in exchange, offering us all that is His. But it is always a free voluntary matter, and no compulsion or obligation on either side. If it was human, it would be compulsory.
In Noah's day and Sodom's, it was all perfectly legitimate eating and drinking; marrying and giving in marriage; planting, building, buying, selling. But absolutely no time to hear the Voice of God through Noah or Abraham, and so the waters of death and fire consumed them to show how little value they were to God in the eternal purpose, and so today.
Even the depression has only added to their cares and worries, and is more of a test for their relationship to God's claim. We often think of God in Heaven, but fail to see that God is on the Earth as much as in Heaven, though only known to those who have ears to hear and heart to obey. The Devil and Satan by his serpent witness, changes what God has revealed into what suits themselves. They change God into a convenience in place of letting God change them into a convenience for Him.
When we read the Laodicean Chapter conditions, it's pitiful to contemplate. And how gracious are His words, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten…" Be zealous therefore and turn from the conditions we see others perishing in and by, so that we may have a true living fellowship with Him in us, and we in Him. And it's always wise to err on His side, rather than as most do on our own.
My love and best wishes,
William Irvine
P.S. Season's Greetings, and don't allow pain or worry to rob you of His fellowship and grace. Wm. Irvine
Wm Irvine's Letter To: Bakers
September 7, 1935
My dear Bakers (All):
Thanks for your letter. You have so much to thank God for, though you will only have a little foretaste of all it means; but you will find His Spirit give you peace, joy, comfort and hope which you never could have before, as you open your mouth wide to all you meet, and find the Spirit fill it with words and wisdom. If you had found satisfaction in the old Gospel of Alpha days, you would have been like the whole of Babylon described in Rev. 18, and its ministry as in Rev. 17. The Testimony bears all these marks, and was the 7 churches; my 21 years’ work in the various parts of the world, where my feet had trod as His Alpha Servant, and so became His Angel or sent one to them, to testify the Revelation Message, which is the program for the Judgment of all Nations and every man, separating into sheep and goats the whole world, by their attitude to the Man and Message of God by the Spirit on the earth, as God and Jesus are on the Throne.
Rev. 22 makes the whole matter very simple and clear and strong. The River flowing, as we hear and obey, so that the Living waters flow from our lips. The Tree of Life growing – now fruiting – while the leaves, or witness of the Living Branches, are for the healing of the smitten nations, or the hewing down of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil of the Garden. As one grows, the other is to fall away and perish from off the earth. Verses 3, 4, and 5 of Rev. 22 shows what will happen as the Tree of Life grows, and the old R.P. & E. corrupt tree perishes from off the earth.
Verse 6 – These sayings are faithful (or full of faith to all who hear and obey) and True, for the Spirit will seal them in all who hear and obey, and the Lord God of the Holy Prophets sent His angel to show unto His Servants who obey Him, the things which must shortly be done. Revelation and all the Truth for Judgment days was Sealed till the time of the End. “Behold, I come quickly,” refers to the days we are now in. Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings (by the Spirit) of the prophecy (or reading of the Spirit by the angel) of this Book.
Verses 8 and 9 shows us the meeting of John from Heaven, and His angel or Servant on the Earth (shortly). Verse 10, Seal not, open to all, the Sayings of the prophecy of this Book – Revelation; for the time is at hand. Verse 11 – the unjust, filthy, righteous, and holy, will all be tested by their attitude to the Message from the Throne by the sent angel. Verse 12 – rewards for every man, according to their hearing or refusing. Verse 13, I am Alpha, as I was to my disciples of old, who had ears for the Spirit’s Message then, and so again, and Omega the avenger and Judge of all who are the resisters of the Message, or the piercers, or those who bear the Matt. 23 marks today; the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
You can see how many hang on to what He was 1900 years ago, and reject His Message from the Throne. They profess to accept the first, and reject the last. Verse 14 – Blessed are they that keep His commandments of Revelation, in hearing and obeying and witnessing to these things, that they may have right, or be part of the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates (not over the wall) into the City.
Verse 15 – For without, or outside of those who hear and obey, are Dogs, and you will have plenty of proof. Sorcerers, who contradict all He says today, by quoting Scripture, as did the Scribes and Pharisees who crucified Jesus according to their reading of the Scriptures. Whoremongers who listen to and have fellowship with any of they who preach and get honor, place and power and reward. Murderers of the Cain sort who measure men by their sins and themselves by their righteousness.
John’s 1st Epistle shows them as they turn their back on their brother. Idolaters – those who look to leaders who have been produced by anything but being sent of God, all of whom loveth and maketh a lie, or who refuse, and contradict anything which is of God. Verse 16 – I, Jesus, have sent mine angel – or sent one – to Testify these things in the churches – not Babylon – but what was my work in Alpha 21 years up to 1914. The 7 churches of Asia was the work of Paul, and was made the basis for the churches of my labors.
Revelation is Prophecy which had no meaning till the time came. All they of Asia forsook Paul, and all the true apostles, and were dominated by the false. I am the Root and off-spring of all who are the David – or anointed seed – and the Bright and morning star, or the source of Light, leading into the New Day as in Mal. 4. Verse 17 – The Spirit and the Bride, or those who hear the Message of the Angel Sent One, are the Bride who say Come, and all who hear and are not the Bride say Come, and whosoever will may take of the Water of Life freely.
Verses 18 and 19. Jesus testifies to every man that heareth the words of the Prophecy by the Bride – or those who hear – if they add to or take from, it will be fatal to them, and evidence of not hearing and obeying Him. Verse 20 – He which testifieth these things, Saith (today) Behold I come quickly, (in the next 7 years), and all who hear and obey say, “Even so, Come Lord Jesus.” The Spirit says, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all,” who hear and obey, but not one ray of hope or comfort for any others.
My Love and Best Wishes for all who bear your name,
