I LOOKED AND I SAW MYSTERIES

BOOK TWO

INTRODUCTION:

It is with a strange urgency and with much fear and trepidation that we present the second book of the visions that our now married daughter, Annie, has been given and has shared with us. It is difficult to know where to end this second book and begin the third one, for as yet there is no ending to this heavenly manifestation and communication that God is giving us in this last hour.

We have refrained from doing any interpretation of these visions knowing that the word of God is of no private interpretation and therefore we leave it mostly to the reader to interpret for himself. We are confident that the same Holy Spirit that has given these visions will also see to it that the seeking reader will be guided into the truth He desires to convey. For it is His word unto us and we have done our utmost to convey it most faithfully just as it has come forth to us under the anointing and impelling of the Holy Spirit.

It seems that in this group of visions He has desired to introduce us to some of the hidden mysteries concerning the Church and His dealings with it as well as the works of the enemy and the mystery of iniquity and in a small measure how it operates.

These visions are in parable or symbolic form and many times in a cryptic manner. Yet throughout the ancient times it was ever so that God spoke through His prophets. There were things that they themselves could not understand nor even decipher.

These truths we find totally compatible with the Bible and in full harmony with our understanding of His dealings and purposes based on nearly 50 years of walking in the presence of the Holy Spirit and over 40 years of ministry. This is most amazing considering that this new born child in Him, carried up into the heavenlies in the Spirit, is given to know in a moment that which has taken us years to learn by other means.

We are made to realize with a terrific impact of truth that the hour of the bringing forth of His end time manifestations and His revealing of these hidden things of the mysteries is now upon us. We cannot postpone any longer into some dim and distant future our beliefs, but know that these things in reality are upon us and He is telling His own ones who have a hearing ear. For He has promised to His own sons of light that these things should not come upon them as a thief in the night, but that they should be warned and informed before that time. Our prayer is that unto the sons of light and to those who have been given a hearing ear, there shall be given also the quickening of the Holy Spirit to read and to understand these things.

THE CROSS AND THE LIVING STONES

Today as I went to prayer I suddenly felt very sleepy. It seemed that, my body was full of pain for which I could find no explanation. Certain thoughts tormented me much and I became more nervous by the minute. I felt completely abandoned by the Lord and wondered where He had gone. It seemed difficult and almost impossible to get into real prayer. But after a seemingly endless time, He Came and took me away unto Himself. Pouring His healing love throughout my whole being, He spoke chidingly and asked me how I had allowed such untrue thoughts to enter my mind and why I continued to dwell on them. How could I doubt that He was with me? His loving tone reflected such sadness that it deeply hurt me. Assuring me that He was always with me and within me, He banished all my fears as the early morning sun banishes the drops of dew. Filling me with tenderest love, He flooded me with a complete sense of security, then lifted me unto Himself into the place where He dwells in His Cloud. Suddenly I found myself in the house of living stones which I had seen several times before. He showed me another of its great rooms, a room much inferior to the room which is His dwelling place. Whether I was inside this room or outside looking in I do not know. But I do know that I was with Him in His cloud and He was in this cloud, which is He, Himself. Although the angels surrounded Him in this place, they didn't draw any attention unto themselves. The living stones which formed the walls of this temple or sanctuary were filled with celestial life and brilliant light. All of them worshiping a cross of tremendous size and exceeding beauty which was in this room. This cross of purest light shined with great brilliancy. Everything and everyone in this room was filled with the wonderful light which emanated from this cross. I can find no words to adequately describe its glory and beauty. Although Jesus in the Cloud was present amount the living stones and was exceedingly more wonderful that the cross itself, the living stones, nevertheless, seemed not conscious of Him at all. I wondered greatly why they were worshiping the cross all the time instead of worshiping the One who was present in such excellent glory. These living stones continued worshiping the cross, not even looking at Him. Then He explained that even though He was present in the highest manifestation of Himself yet given, nevertheless, the living stones could not see Him when He manifested Himself to them in this superior way. The living stones were avidly contemplating the beauty and glory of the cross, worshiping it in love and deep adoration, and bathing in the light that emanated from it. Steadfastly beholding the cross they could not see the Lord whose light and glory was so much greater. As I could see Him present among the living stones I was much troubled, and could not understand why the others were not conscious of His presence.

THE TIME OF GREATEST BATTLE

Again I had a difficult time resisting opposing forces before I could press into His presence. But then He came and took me unto Himself and caused His love to wash away all uneasiness and strain of the battle. Immediately I felt, fully renewed and rewarded When He began to speak He asked me why I was afraid, and why I was so convinced that I would not be able, or not have sufficient strength to fulfill the task He was requiring of me. "What are you without My strength?" He asked. "Be assured that I, Myself, am your strength. You must not even think that you shall not be able to fulfill what I require of you." When He told me to look, He showed me people suffering heavy attacks from the enemy which were assailing them like a virulent epidemic. Thick, black clouds of evil forces pressed relentlessly against them in terrible invasions of darkness. Horribly ugly, determined and powerful, these vile ones pushed in against His people in wave after wave of fury. I understood so clearly that He was shoving me a picture of what was happening in actuality, in "the now." He was not foretelling things that were yet to come. He told me that the enemy, now greatly enraged, would come from many and far away places. Uniting their forces and concentrating their offensives, the adversaries would war against His people in an attempt to overcome and overwhelm them. "However," He said, "because I dwell in the midst of them, the enemy shall not be able to prevail against Me." Not only had He permitted these attacks, but He had caused them to come to pass. For the arising of the enemy against His people caused them to press in even closer and flee unto Him for refuge. Although all hell should arise against them, all the ragings of the enemy would be completely in vain. For, "the hour has come for My glory to be revealed in them. This is the glorious hour" Chidingly He spoke to me asking, "Why do you doubt? All that I have said to you shall surely come to pass. Not even one word shall be without fulfillment."

THE STORM AND THE ROOTS

I was able to come into His Presence after but a brief time of battle. What a beautiful welcome He gave me! I am never able to understand why He loves me so much or why He never fails to remind me of His love. This love seems to flow out of Him constantly in great billows which cover and fill me. Commanding me not to fear and filling me with His peace, He took me away into the Cloud which was comparatively calm. When I looked in obedience to His command, I saw again the same plants I had seen before, but this time they were being buffeted by a terrible storm. Vindictive and full of fury, this storm seemed determined to ruthlessly destroy all the beautiful plants which He had so lovingly created. I was weeping much and He, sensing my sadness, comforted me telling to not weep or to be sad. "Look!" He commanded. As I obeyed, I saw the many roots of those small plants. Never before had I seen such immense roots or so many roots together on any one plant. When I saw that these massive and intricately woven roots were so deeply embedded in the earth, I knew that no storm ... no matter how furious it might be ... could ever in any way hurt His plants. The best ... or worst ... the storm could possibly do was to buffet them superficially. "I am taking no risk in allowing the fury of the storm to come against my plants," He explained, "for the roots of these plants are my own self. Because I am so very certain of my plants, I can allow the storm to come against them in fury for I know that they are deeply rooted and will not be damaged, uprooted or destroyed, for I am in My plants."

THE CLEANSING FIRES

In spite of physical pain, weariness and a heavy sense of discouragement, I was at last enabled to press through into His presence. After a brief but tender welcome, He told me again not to fear and immediately I found myself in the place where He dwells in His glorious Cloud. When He ordered me to look I saw once again the living stones of pure crystal gold which form the walls of His heavenly temple. This time I saw the same stones below upon the earth. (The earth does not appear in any way at all as it does to the natural eye; nor do the living stones upon the earth appear at all like they do in the celestial realms.) I knew that they were the very same living stories that I has seen before in the heavenlies, even though the glory, beauty and brilliancy of light were diminished. The same things that I have seen in the two realms are so unalike that there is hardly any comparison. In fact, none of the things which He has shown in the celestial realms above are in any way alike when they appear upon the earth. Nevertheless) I know that they are one and the same things. The fire that was burning inside these living stones was quite unlike the fire that I had seen burning within them in heaven. It was also unlike the fire that I had seen proceeding forth from Him during times of His wrath and His judgments. These living stones were not all grouped together within one fire, but each stone had its own cleansing fire. It appeared to me that each stone had been contaminated by some loathsome insects and this fire was consuming them. The fiercely hot flame was purifying each living stone, destroying all the foreign and contaminating elements that did not belong there. These fires were necessary because they were burning and consuming all of the contaminating and destructive elements in His living stones. Meanwhile, the Lord was very carefully and tenderly watching over His stones lest there be too much fire at any one time. Even as a father watches over His gravely ill child when He has administered some potent medication to restore him to health, so was the Lord watching over His own. In no way was He indifferent to the pain these fires caused but with tenderest love He covered His children with His cloud, watching diligently over them. Deeply sensitive to all their anguish and cryings, He never left them alone for a moment. He seemed to be weeping together with them. Yet, at the same time, He was rejoicing for He knew that the fires were working cleansing and purity in them. I marveled at the cleansing processes of the fires. And at the same time I was deeply perturbed, for I realized that the same fires that brought cleansings and blessings of purification to some were the same fires that brought great destruction to others. As I watched, I saw that the fire that came out from Him utterly destroyed some of the stones. The very same flames which proceeded forth from Him were beautiful, purifying and cleansing to some, but terrible and destructive to others. (However, most of the stones shown to me endured the fire and were not consumed.) In a tone of urgency He warned me that the time was very short, and that there were fiery trials for everyone of His own. "There are many things to burn out and correct in My own before I shall be able to come forth through them and do that which I have determined to do. I shall wait but a short, time longer for those who remain willfully blind and deaf. Then I shall suddenly come forth. Those who are ready shall receive what I shall send. But anyone who has not redeemed the time and availed himself of the opportunity to hear has already established his place and shall be found wanting."

THE FRUIT OF THE PLANTS

Angry with myself for having arrived late for my time alone with Him, I pressed heavily against, the opposition and it fled, allowing me to come to Him shortly. Gently, tenderly, and quietly He welcomed me and I realized that He was preparing to tell me something of special significance; for thus had He prepared me on other occasions. Telling me not, to fear, He took me away into the Cloud and showed me a vast, field of beautiful plants. I recognized them as the same plants that I had seen before when the promised rain fell upon them, yet this time they appeared somewhat different. Clear and semi-transparent, they seemed more like a large bush aglow with a strange light. Near one section of the field - or rather, bordering it ... was flowing the River of God whose beautiful waters were rich with light, life and. blessing. Growing along its banks was one section of lovely, living plants. Then a certain distance away - well separated from those growing by the river ... was another group of plants. To my eyes all the plants appeared the same.

But, as I watched, I saw all the plants begin to bring forth fruit. Those by the river brought forth beautiful fruit that shone like glorious gems. In some inexplicable manner, as more and more fruit was brought forth, the plants themselves were transformed becoming increasingly more beautiful. The same glory and beauty of the fruit was manifested in the plant that brought it forth. Then I saw that those plants which were off by themselves far away from the river were also producing fruit, but their fruit appeared shriveled and shameful. I continued to watch amazed for although the others far from the river had appeared to be the same as those near the river, the distant plants were bringing forth fruit that was horribly distinct and completely the opposite. Nor was that all. Just as the good plants produced good fruit and were thereby changed, by the same process, the bad plants brought forth evil fruit and they, too, were changed. That is, in accordance with the fruit they were bringing forth so were the plants. To my consternation, I noticed that those plants far from the river that had appeared exact1y like those on the banks were being changed into shriveled, shameful and sickening plants completely covered by ugly fruit. They were so dry that I marveled that they could even live ... to say nothing of bringing forth any fruit. After this, He began to explain the vision to me: "This bringing forth fruit to its being revealed and seen is inevitable. None can escape this revealing of themselves even though they desire to. Many will ardently long to escape this inevitable revelation but they will not be able to do so. Those plants that brought forth pleasing fruit lived by the river, their roots being constantly nourished by its waters. The roots of the plants whose fruit made them so ugly did not reach the waters of the river for nourishment. They did not even dwell nearby!" He spoke again, explaining that the fruit that the plants brought forth was out of their own selves. This fruit came out of their inner being, revealing the truth as to what they really were. He called them "evil plants that bring forth out of themselves evil fruit, thus revealing themselves as evil plants." The plants by the river He called, "good plants that bring forth out of themselves good fruit, thus revealing themselves as good plants." In the beginning there seemed to be no difference at all between the good plants and the evil ones. It was not until they brought forth fruit that their true nature was revealed.

THE BLIND ONES

After but a short time in prayer and with but little opposition, He allowed m to enter into His presence. His welcome to me was dear and joyful. 1 don't know why He always is so loving when He takes me unto Himself, comforting me, quieting all my fears, and filling me with a deep sense of security. How I wish I could bring back to this world the great fullness of life, peace and joy that fills my heart up there! When He told me to look, I saw the souls of His people on the earth, yet they did not appear like human beings. I cannot describe them for they seemed to have a form, yet it was not a form at all. The pitiful state of these souls filled me with amazement, for all of them were completely blind and naked. In spite of their lamentable condition the saddest thing of all was their great display of haughtiness and pride. I wondered how it was possible for such naked and blind ones to be so haughty. What made it yet worse was that these souls were not aware of the shame of their condition. To the contrary, they seemed to be perfectly content to remain just like they were. With great sadness I observed them, for in spite of the fact that they belonged to Him, their miserableness was awful to behold. His word came to me: "It is time for me to breathe upon them and to open their eyes so that they may be able to see their true state." As He quietly waited, the blind and naked ones went right along in their own ways, just as if they were enjoying abundance of health. Then after a time He breathed light upon them. This light ... like a cloudy substance ... completely enveloped them. Immediately their eyes were opened and they understood their terrible condition and were fully ashamed. Whereas these had been scattered over a great area on the earth and had not been at all close one to the other, they now began to draw together and seek to be covered by Him. When His light entered into them they began to seek to hide themselves and to make Him their covering. As they drew very near to Him He received them with great joy. Having forsaken their haughtiness and high-mindedness, they became very low before Him and were covered by His Cloud.

THE FIERY CIRCLE

As I entered into His presence in prayer, He filled me with His warm love and stilled me completely within. Gone was all my nervousness. Oh, how precious is the quieting that He gives! After welcoming me, He took me away unto Himself in the Cloud of fire and glory. When He told me to look, I saw Him below upon the earth enclosed within a great circle of fiercely burning fire. This fire ... which surrounded Him like a thick curtain ... was not one of judgment or of wrath. Neither was it attractive like some of His fires that I have seen. Rather, it was fierce, violent and very forbidding. Somehow I understood that this fire signified trials and afflictions. Its flames did not abate; to the contrary, they continued to intensify. Around the outside of this fiery curtain were many evil men belonging to the hosts of the enemy. Although gathered closely around the circle of fire, they seemed totally unaware of either the flaming circle or the One who was within it.

Outside this circle of evil ones I saw a few who belonged to Him widely separated one from another. Striving desperately to press through the circle of evil men and of fire they attempted to get inside to reach Him. They seemed entirely unaware of the presence of the evil ones, the fire, or the One who stood within the circles. As these scattered few struggled to pass through the opposing circles to reach Him, His eyes were upon them. Pointing and vociferously shouting and giving all types of false explanations and erroneous directions, these evil ones were demanding that the people of God outside the circle should go in some other direction. Their purpose was to cause His people to go astray and not find their way through the fiery circle to reach Him. With strength they opposed and deceived, ridiculing and. scorning with great derision those who tried to press through the opposition unto Him. Using every possible form of deceit, force or mockery, they tried to discourage, deviate and impede God's own people from getting through to Him. Not only did they have to go through great opposition from the evil ones, but they also had to pass through that invisible curtain of fire which burned so fiercely that if seemed to devour like a power saw taking hold of lumber in a saw mill. Because it was a time of great suffering and difficulty, I wondered if anyone would be able to get through to Him. Yet as I watched, I saw that one after another was able to press through all oppositions and reach Him. The one who was waiting within the circle, although unperturbed and serene, and never doubting that His own would reach Him, was, at the same time anxious and almost impatient (if I my use such a seemingly ridiculous term when speaking of God) and in a hurry for them to make it through the opposition and come unto Himself. He understood that this crossing would be very costly for them, but in spite of all the difficulties and sufferings, He knew that each one would be successful in passing through the enemy lines. Each one would reach Him. He said that even though His own could not see the two circles nor could they even realize that they were there, they still would have to pass through both barriers. Further-more, He said that these would be the very last ones who would enter. After these there would be no more. Because these were the very last of all ... the stragglers, as it were ... He seemed in a hurry and almost impatient for them to pass through the two circles to come unto Himself.

ARMS OF FIRE

After a time of prayer, I was able to enter into His presence in spite of tiredness and nervousness. Taking me unto Himself in the Cloud, He welcomed me with His usual love and tenderness, quieting my spirit and preparing me for the higher realms. Apparently this is necessary, for He never fails to do so. He seems to wash my whole inner being with waves of divine love, thus preparing me to see and participate in the things He is about to show me. In obedience to His command to look, I looked and saw dark, vile beings upon the earth who were actively engaged in warfare against Him. Apparently they were the same evil ones I had seen in yesterday's vision who so actively warred against God's children to prohibit their reaching Him within the circle. Oh, how they hated Him and how they loved evil! Their appearance was like something rotten, as if all their vileness had matured completely and gone into fruit, and now there remained only the fruit. Exceedingly putrefied, there remained no soundness at all in them. So advanced was their putrification that they seemed to be men and devils mixed, no longer having the appearance of either men or devils. They had become the very fruit, or culmination of their own vileness. Suddenly, two immense arms of consuming fire which appeared like brazen metal filled with intense inner burnings came forth from the Cloud which had become tremendously activated in wrath and was convulsing with terrible inner violence. With a great roaring these two arms of fire swept down upon the earth to destroy His enemies, voraciously seeking their prey in fiery vengeance. With a mighty rushing they swept like two great brooms over the face of the earth, carrying away all those evil beings out of my sight into complete destruction. Scattered here and there in the places that the arms of fire had swept clean appeared a few celestial lights which burned with wonderful brilliance. These very bright lights appeared like wonderful shining stones left upon the earth after the fire. It seemed to me that these stones were the children of the Lord who were able to traverse the circle of fire to reach Him in yesterday's vision. His word came to me "All things have changed. No longer shall I permit the enemy to rise up against Me, for the hour has come in which I will rise up against him in my fury and utterly destroy him." As He spoke, I saw His great wrath come against His enemies upon whom He had determined total destruction without pity or mercy.

THE CRYSTAL SEA

I was tired, sick and in a had humor with many troubling thoughts that filled me with anxiety, I was worrying about how I would ever have sufficient strength to carry out His orders or be very effective for Him. Then loving and comforting me He came, renewing my whole being and erasing my fears.

He said, "Fear not, nor pay any attention to your physical body for I am with you and shall always give you my strength to fulfill my desires. Look not unto your own strength for that is of no importance; I shall care for you and with abundant strength you shall always be able to do all that I command." ... Then again bidding me not to fear He carried me away into His Cloud. When I saw that He was alone, I knew that He would show me things upon the earth which generally always make me sad. He told me to look, and when I looked, I saw a tremendous fire like a long furrow, destructive and consuming, that moved in a circular, horizontal motion. Churning and turning, it continually increased in size and fury, grasping ever outward and consuming more and more until it finally covered the whole earth. Like a raging, devouring tidal wave of immense proportions it swept over the earth consuming everything in its pathway. As I watched, feeling very sad and fearful, and thinking that nothing at all would remain, He spoke to me, "Fear not, neither be sad in thine heart, for not one of my own shall be destroyed."

Then He took me away again into the heavenlies. Oh, how beautiful they were! How I rejoiced that He again allowed me to be there where He dwells in the glory of His Cloud. Just, below and in front of Him were His reigning ones in the form of clouds of fire that burned with great brightness. Although they were of the same substance arid appearance as He is, yet they were notably inferior. Below the reigning ones were the angelic hosts which I have always seen with Him in this sphere. Great in power and beauty, they were superior in intelligence to all the other angels. Below them ... yet before Him in the Cloud ... was an immense crystal sea of great beauty. Tranquil and transparent, it appeared to be made of a special water that is found only in this sea. It is unlike the water of the river, the rain or the other waters I have seen. Pure, transparent, arid quiet, the sea appeared like crystal glass of a golden or amber hue. Here and there in this crystal sea were some living stones very similar to the ones I had seen in the temple up there. Although they were not of the same high order and their light was lesser, nevertheless, these stones ... which were not many ... shone with great beauty. Because I was near to Him, He allowed me to drink deeply of the glory and joy of that scene where harmony, peace and perfect rest prevailed. Everything there flowed together in perfect love and joy, giving the appearance of being fused and completely identified into one living whole rather than being composed of separate entities.

IMMOVABLE STONES

After a difficult time in prayer, He carried me away into His presence. After receiving me and washing away in His love all my human fears and bad humor, He took me up unto Himself where He dwells in His wonderful Cloud. He showed me the earth as a large field. Scattered here and there were a small number of living stones that were specifically broken into many shapes, though I did not understand any reason for this. Although they were much like the living stones I had seen in the house above, they didn't have anywhere near the same brightness, fullness of life and light. Large, living and luminous, they were firmly rooted and they belonged to Him. Suddenly I saw floods of the terrible hordes of evil ones ... apparently both men and devils ... swarm upon those stones attacking them in great fury. Full of the blackness of evil, these dark ones tried until they were weary to cause those stones to move out of their places but the stones were immovable. No matter how hard the enemy tried, they couldn't even stir them. Jesus spoke to me saying that His stones were absolutely immovable and showed me that His sword was protecting them the whole time of the attack. Of terrible aspect, this sword of blazing fire whirled continually, covering, protecting and caring for His living stones. As the sword whirled around and above those that belonged to Him, those terrible hosts of evil ones with all their strength and fury could not even reach His people to hurt them. Because it was so impossible, it was ridiculous for them to even try for it was completely futile. Even there most frantic efforts were totally in vain. In an instant His flaming sword arose in great wrath and destroyed those evil hordes. Then I saw that surrounding those immense living stones was a great flood of blood ... human blood. When I returned to my world, I was filled with fear and dread for all of this seemed so imminent. I wondered much, for it seemed that He was showing me things that were already upon His own. Each time of late I am more alerted in my spirit that some of these things have already begun.

THE HUGE STONES

Because I was in considerable physical discomfort, I found it difficult to enter into prayer. At last, however, I pressed through the opposition to reach Him. Receiving me warmly and melting away my fears, He told me that He loved me then enclosed and covered me in that love. Then after a while He took me away to that high sphere where He rules in the Cloud. He showed me the same scene as yesterday with all the broken stones encircled by the blood of the great slaughter, but this time the stones had been gathered and fit back into the original stone from which they had been broken. As this was taking place He said, "Just before I gather these stones together again I shall destroy them all." Then He showed me again there in the highest sphere the whole stone made one again from all of its broken pieces and, "This stone is made up of the same broken stones which were there upon the earth." I marveled much, for several months before I had seen the same stone on a lower plane before it had been broken into pieces. It was the same one that had appeared dead before Him which He had spoken into life by His word. I had witnessed when life entered into it making it a glorious, living stone. Now this same stone which had been broken into many pieces had passed through much persecution upon the earth then been fit together and brought up into this higher sphere. The stone was now before Him and below His feet and He was suspended above it.

THE HEAVENS ON FIRE

After a time of great opposition, I was given to come into His presence at last. After preparing my spirit by His love and washing away all my human fears, He caught me away unto place He dwells. The Cloud gave evidence of great violence and of extreme excitement which involved His whole person, yet not in wrath nor judgment. With Him in the Cloud were the reigning ones as smaller clouds. High and lifted up with Him and glorious in their blazing, fiery clouds they were exactly like Him yet much inferior to Him. Also, filling the whole realm with their glory, harmony and light were the great hosts of beautiful angels that belong to this sphere. Everything manifested a state of great expectation. Issuing forth from Him in the C loud came a mighty, active wind of a substance which was clearly visible. Filled with internal fire, it burst forth in tremendous violence and power. Its mighty flames were neither evil nor destructive; rather, they were benign and beautiful, filled, with fire and life of amazing brilliance. As I watched, I saw this mighty fire-wind embrace and fill the whole of the heavens. As it did so, it seemed as if all the celestial beings ... both men and angels ... were put to sleep. When this happened, the fire, incandescent and glorious in extreme power, embraced and enclosed them also. After but brief moments ... it did not seem long ... I saw that in the creative power of this tremendous wind, the whole of the heavens and all of its inhabitants were completely changed. When the wind died down, I saw that the same scenes and beings were there just as before nevertheless, everything was wholly new and renewed. While they still seemed to be the same, yet nothing was the same at all. Everything was made so superior and much more beautiful, that I cannot find any way at all to describe the transformation. Without losing their identities, all had been completely changed. The only One that remained unchanged was the One that dwells within the Cloud. He remained absolutely unchanged. Everything there in the celestial sphere was completely new. All former things had passed away as this mighty fire burned throughout the heavens. Former things were as if they had never existed, for they had passed away completely as if beyond memory to ever recall. It seemed that the circumstances and events that had existed in the past had now lost their existence.

THE CUBE OF WATER

I found it extremely difficult to enter into His presence this day. Never before at any time had there been such great opposition. It seemed that I could find no way at all to draw near unto Him. All ways and means of prayer that I had formerly used now seemed in vain. In my desperation I wanted to escape because I feared that He would deny me further entrance into His presence. After long hours of battle I was finally able to enter. And, oh, how sweetly He welcomed me, covering, enclosing and pervading me with His tenderness. When He assured me of His love, the long battle seemed most insignificant. With Him in His great glory Cloud I heard Him say, "My love in you is your strength. Most quickly shall come the day in which all that I have shown unto you shall be fulfilled. Even though I have shown it to you, yet you shall truly be surprised when you see these things fulfilled. Fear not to tell that which I have spoken because I have already prepared these things." Then He showed me something that appeared like a great cube or block of very pure, celestial water filled with glorious life. Although it appeared to have a form like a container, still the walls of this container were the very water itself. This water of life ... which was of a kind and class different from the other waters seen before ... showed great movement and inner activity. I understood that this water was a part of Himself. As I watched, I saw a small aperture in the bottom of this immense cube of water from which trickled a small stream which flowed from the heavens unto the earth. Flowing to the good as well as to the evil ones this stream did not stop flowing until it had reached out unto the uttermost parts. When He spoke again He told me that even now the water that He was giving was already flowing out upon the earth. Then after the stream had reached out unto all parts, this great block or cube of self-contained water broke forth through its own invisible walls and like a mighty flood gushed forth violently, flowing through the same channels where the small stream had formerly gone, and flooding everything in its pathway.

THE GREAT DROUGHT

It is not so difficult to enter into prayer today. After washing away all my fears in His love, He took me away unto Himself in His great cloud.. This time I saw the same scene as yesterday, except that now the flood had subsided and there was great drought in the same field of the earth. No water was to be seen anywhere. Scattered here and there were luminous living ones ... His own ... who appeared to have a vessel of water like a private reservoir within them. In this season of great drought these suffered no lack. While His own had ample reserves, the rest of the beings who were in the field were very dry and were perishing for lack of water. Then He told me that the dry ones would seek and beg desperately for water from those who had ample supply. But those with water could not in any manner share their water with those who were without, because the time for the giving of water had now passed. Those that belonged to Him had sufficiency of water even in time of drought.

THE MOUNTAIN OF LIGHT

After a time in prayer, Jesus came to me with the same loving welcome dissipating all my fears, He took me on to the celestial sphere where He dwells. When He told me to look, I saw far below upon the earth as it were a mountain of light which was completely surrounded by ominous shadows of darkness which had gathered around it in a storm of fury and hatred. From where I was, far above looking down upon that mountain, I could hear their roarings and ragings which rose in great waves of sound like hordes of ferocious beasts. I know that those beasts were fighting against the mountain. Jesus spoke to me saying that the roarings of those evil beasts would increase as the mountain ascended unto Him. As I watched, the mountain of light began to rise out of its place and ascend unto Him, not rapidly, but rather slowly, as if it were going through a process. I could see that it ascended because it was attracted unto Him just as a great magnet of light draws a small quantity of light unto itself. He let me know that this mountain of light was being drawn unto Him because a part of Himself was in it. As the mountain continued to ascend, the roarings of great hate and fury increased steadily. Then I saw a very strange thing: As the mountain of light lifted out of its place and ascended towards Him, great chunks of it fell off and plunged earthward into the storm of darkness until it had covered half the distance that separated it from Him. He told me that those that fell away in reality did not belong to the mountain and had fallen away because they could not bear the increase of light. As He was speaking, I noticed that the more the mountain ascended and drew nearer to Him in His high dwelling place, the more it blazed with greater inner life and light which continued to increase markedly as it drew nearer to Him. When He spoke again He said that those that fell away could have belonged to the mountain, for He had given them the opportunity. They had desired to ascend; nevertheless, in the depths of their hearts, they did not truly want to ascend unto Him who is light. As they drew nearer to Him they could not stand the penetrating rays of light, so had returned to the darkness. I realized that their various personal ambitions ... or the deep longings which they would not surrender ... had caused them to resist and refuse the increase in light. Although some had drawn nearer than others, yet none of those who had fallen off could withstand even half of the journey of ascension. He explained that those who fell off had been together with the children of light during the beginning stages, but they had surrendered to the roarings of the evil beasts around them and therefore could not ascend to the light. Suddenly I heard what sounded like a great explosion far below. Immediately all the darkness, roaring and shadows of the beasts and chunks that had fallen off disappeared.

THE FLAMING TRAYS

I had gone with a group of students to a picnic near the ocean. It was already getting late and I still had not been able to find a time or place to pray. My spirit was getting very disturbed until I finally committed all the matter to Him and went right on playing with the other young people. Later on the group gathered to sing and pray around the camp-fire. Feeling the presence of the Lord draw nigh, I said to myself, "Oh no. Not here!" But He continued to draw nearer and I could not resist Him. As I was praying, seated on a fallen tree trunk, He suddenly caught me away unto Himself in the Cloud of glory and began to speak to me. The others continued to pray and sing. For a long time I had many questions about why He was showing me such strange things. Although pastor and others could understand, there were so many things I could not understand. Everything seemed to me so unrelated to life on this earth and so unreal. Then He spoke, opening my understanding, and explained that the weeks of confession and deep cleansing that the Peniel Institute student group had just gone through had been His will and not theirs. He had desired for them to bring these evil things to light in order to be delivered from them. He showed me so clearly that the fires that I had so often seen were good fires. Beautiful, cleansing and attractive they were fires full of life and light which blessed and glorified His own. Although it did not appear to be fire to our natural eyes, nevertheless, it was fire to those who dwelt in the celestial world. The vicissitudes, persecutions, spiritual attacks, pains and troubles of this life are all His beautiful fires that purify and beautify His own. Until He opened my understanding I did not realize that all these were truly good fires even though He had already told me. Then I saw a number of flaming trays all filled with different types of food. Not one tray was identical to the other, yet all were made of the same beautiful, golden fire. The trays, as well as the food they contained, were made of a fire which was neither devouring nor destructive. He let me know that this food of fire was necessary for the development and growth of His own, both now and in the future. The food ... different for each one ... was already a daily provision at this actual time and would continue to be in the days to come.

THE BEAUTIFUL STONES

As I was in a hotel room in a neighboring city, I wondered much if I would be able to enter into His presence in such a place and atmosphere. Soon I found it was no different there than being in my own room. After a time of prayer, He came and took me away unto Himself, filling the deep desires of my heart by flooding me with the glories of his amazing love. And, as ever, He swept away all my fears. After saying, "My fires are not in vain, they burn in order to make my own a very part of me," He showed me the living stones which were broken and appeared most ordinary. Then His fires began to burn upon all of them, burning and wounding certain parts of each one. Each time this fire burned it left something beautiful within these stones. Again and again it came, and each time it left them more beautiful. This process continued until they became no longer merely stones, but had been transformed into reigning fires. He told me that His fires were not sent in jest, ridicule or capriciousness. Everything that causes pain and comes from His hand is actually wonderful and desirable over there. Each pain is a part of the process of transforming the living stones into reigning fires. The reigning fires became so, not because they were specifically chosen to be, but because they had permitted all His fires to do their work in them. This process had completely transformed them into the reigning fires who ever reign with Him in His Cloud in the highest heavens and who are exactly like Him. Just as His wounds were so changed and made more beautiful according to each sphere in which He had manifested Himself, in the same manner all the woundings, pains and fires through which He permits His own to pass causes them to become progressively more beautiful until they are literally adorned by wondrous jewels which before were but scars. As He explained this to me I felt so identified in the work the fires were doing. At last I could understand the reasons for the processes in my own life which heretofore had given me so much pain and insecurity.

THE TWO TREES

Because it was so easy to enter into His presence today, I could not believe that nearly four hours had gone by, for He had come so quickly and taken me into Himself. When He told me to look, I looked and saw two large trees of the same kind which were growing fairly close to one another. Although both were of great size, nevertheless there was a very marked difference: one was strong, robust and healthy looking; the other was very weak, thin and seemed hardly able to remain standing. These two trees were so alike in all other respects, yet were so unalike in their strengths. The weak was so weak; and the strong ... so strong. Then Jesus spoke saying, "The tree that you see is strong in itself; therefore, it seeks neither help nor strength from me. The other tree which is so weak knows well that it is weak, and therefore it continually seeks to receive strength from me." Suddenly I saw proceeding forth from Him a great, tempestuous and violent wind which struck those two trees with great fury. As blast after blast blew relentlessly against the trees I saw the strength of the strong one weaken more and more until it became so weak that it was blown away and destroyed. But to my great amazement, I saw that the weak tree did not weaken under the assaults of the same wind; to the contrary, it became stronger and stronger. Each raging blast of this light and life-filled wind which was visible to me infused more and more strength into the weak tree until it became a very strong and beautiful tree filled with the same light and life.

THE INTRICATE MASS OF EVIL

Being more relaxed and feeling less strain helped me to enter into His presence more quickly. Telling me that He loved me and renewing my whole spirit being He took me into that glorious place filled with light and said, "You must not fear. There is no need to fear, for I have said that I would ever be with you (and this He emphasized). I have already given you My word and My word is always true and will always be fulfilled." From the place where I was with Him in the Cloud I saw far below upon the earth a lump of evil, a seed, or a beginning principle. As I watched, it grew and grew and began to draw unto itself all manner of evil. Beginning to twist and writhe in great inner agitation like a fermentation, this process continued until it had drawn into itself all the evil there was. Extremely ugly and nauseating, it filled me with terrible dread having now become a great mountain of evil in one terrible lump of frightful darkness. As I continued to watch, I saw a great stone proceed forth from Him and fall upon this mountain of evil, not smashing it, but rather slicing through it, cutting all its intertwined roots apart. Destroying it and making it a thing of nought He carried it away and I saw it no more.

THE REBELLIOUS ONES

After a time of prayer He came to me in great sweetness, taking away all my fears, assuring me of His love and speaking away every impediment to entering fully into His presence. Then He took me on up to where He lives in His great, fiery Cloud where He was in a state of relative calm. As always, I was enthralled with the glory and love that ever emanates from Him like a great river of celestial love which flows continually through my spirit and fills my whole being. Oh, the light and glory there! Everything is so harmonious and filled with worship. Everywhere is filled with glorious beings and things of great perfection's and beauty. But because I cannot remember them in sufficient detail to describe them, I am not allowed to bring back the memory of many of those things. After a while He told me to look, and as I looked, I saw far below upon the earth a vast horde of strange beings which looked more like ugly insects or a plague of locusts rather than like human beings. Yet they were human beings. These horrid, devouring creatures, green and ugly both in appearance and disposition were in a most horrible condition. Starved, weakened and very poor, they were in an altogether pitiful and miserable condition. To my surprise, I saw that they were in the midst of the waters of life which He had given them. Surrounding them were waters which were bright, shining and full of life ... waters not of the earth but of heaven. I saw these pitiful creatures take and drink of these "waters of life" then turn and become very angry with Him and rage against Him. After drinking of His waters of blessing they turned and angrily raged against the Lord in a most inexplicable manner. This caused me to wonder much until He spoke to me and said, "I have showed unto these My power, My grace and My ability to fully transform their lives and make them beautiful. They need no longer be pitiful, needy, poor and starved, for they have received of My blessings and have been given my waters of life. They have drunk of my water so that they know what it is, yet, even so, they return evil unto me and rage against me and refuse me." Then I saw Him become angry in His great Cloud which increased greatly in violence manifesting great activity and. inward churnings. Fire blazed forth from it and its radiance increased many fold. His anger continued to increase against these pitiful ones until a whirlwind of fire came forth from Him, a fire which was not of blessing, nor of beauty, but was a devouring, destructive flame which slowly moved down upon them and began to trouble them. At first it scarcely touched them, but even when they began to feel its heat they still did not turn to repentance. More and more this whirlwind of fire settled down upon them in ever increasing intensity, yet they did not change their ways nor repent nor even seek Him for help. Soon He spoke to me again, saying, "They did not want ME. They would have received someone else. Although they have always received my blessings, they have refused My power, My kingdom, and My person. They liked and greatly desired my blessings, yet they turned and refused Me. If it were another, they would receive him. It is I whom they hate and refuse to receive." More and more the whirlwind, of fire settled down upon them and still they repented not, but continued to rage against Him until at last they were all destroyed in the fire.

THE MOUNTAINS OF GOD

Because I felt such desperate thirst for Him, it took no battle at all to enter into His presence. I needed Him, so went to Him directly. With great tenderness He received me, and I saw that He was laughing at my fears, not in ridicule but in great patience and tolerance as if they really were not of any importance at all. He told me that I was filled with light and that there was no darkness nor shadows in me. I could not understand this, for I feel very much in darkness at times. After saying that I would never suffer sadness as I had before, He took me away to that place of great glory where He ever lives in His great Cloud of fire and beauty. When He told me to look, I saw the heavens below me open like a large scroll or like a double fan opening. There upon the earth I saw His own ones who were like great mountains which were most obviously out of place. Luminous, but not bright and shining, they were scattered about in a dry, dark place where they did not appear to belong. This dark plain of great dearth which surrounded them was obviously the territory of the enemy and was filled with shadows which were ugly, vile and filled with evil intent. But the most obvious thing of all to me was that these luminous mountains were out of place and did not belong there at all. When Jesus spoke He said, "I have placed them there on purpose and it is My will that they are left there apparently alone in the camp of the enemy for a certain time, so that they will fix their eyes upon Me and look only unto Me. I have allowed them to go through this great trial so they may become desperate for Me and cry out to Me for deliverance, looking to none other for liberation. As they cry out unto Me I shall deliver them and destroy their enemies and bring them into their rightful place. Now is the time to rescue them and to set them free." He explained most emphatically that this was something taking place actually in this present time.

< THE OVERCOMERS

Because I was in a bad mood I found it difficult to enter into prayer. At last, when I did enter, the Lord came to me, taking me away into the spirit and said, Nothing shall be able to prevail against you because I am with you and I am on your side." He took me to that place of glory, wonder and beauty in the high heavens where He ever reigns in the awesome splendor of His Cloud of majesty. I saw Him, not in great excitement, but in a state of relative repose. (How can I ever convey that His repose is not at all like a state of rest? It is just that there is so much less violence and inner activity.) Even in repose, the Cloud that is His hiding place is most dreadful. Up there all things are so filled with the glory of the light that radiates from Him that they, too, are filled with the same light and life. While I was drinking in the splendor and wonder of this celestial glory He bade me look, and as I did so, I saw far below me a great field of battle with a large number of warriors in it who belonged to Him. They were men and not angels. I knew that it was not a scene in the heavenly world because it was dark and dreary and not bright and shining. Yet it was not the land of the enemy either. The battle had just ended and the enemy who had been defeated was no longer in sight. As I watched, I knew that the warriors had won at great cost and sacrifice. Their weapons which were of all kinds were broken, worn out and no longer effective. Every warrior showed the severe strain of the many-faceted battle. Greatly wearied and almost overcome by the greatness of the battle, they were, nevertheless, rejoicing because they had won and had overcome and banished the enemy. His words to me were, "Now I am going down unto the overcomers who shall see Me and shall know in very truth who their God is. For I shall show Myself unto them as I really am and they shall know Me."

THE REIGNING FIRES

With a minimum of opposition I entered into His presence where He prepared me, as always, before taking me unto Himself in His Cloud. After a while, He told me to look, and looking I saw far below the reigning fires who were reigning upon the earth. So like Him in the wonder and glory of His Cloud, they seemed to be an extension of Himself. They looked like a great number of fiery clouds, each one tremendous in size, yet not at all as immense as He is in His great Cloud. How can I describe the size of that Cloud? Nothing on earth can in any way adequately give even a basis of comparison. His Cloud seems almost astronomical if I may use that term. There were many of these reigning fires - as large as the greatest mountains - who are like Him in glory and radiance. They had just finished uprooting, overturning and destroying the former reigning ones. These evil beings looked like insects as 1arge as mountains and they also had been attempting to reign and usurp the place of the rightful ones. The fiery reigning ones had come down in order to destroy their kingdoms, power, place and dominion and give them over unto the rightful King who alone shall reign. Jesus' words to me were: "Now it is the time when these reigning ones shall reign for they have destroyed the impeding forces." The battle itself I did not see; I saw only the moment of their victory when all those false, insect-like reigning powers and thrones were uprooted and thrown out of the place they had usurped. There was great rejoicing because they would never more reign upon the earth.

HIS GIFTS

Entering into His presence after a brief battle against sleepiness, I was taken to the place of His glory where the Cloud reigns. After washing away my fears and insecurities by His love, He covered me with that covering of celestial love as He often does. Within that covering of such delightful glory with His ineffable love and tenderness penetrating and covering me, He told me to look. When I looked where He indicated, I saw far below me three living souls. The first one drew forth from God a lovely, shining and delightful thing which I could not define. Given by God, it was something which this one ate, consuming it upon itself and becoming increasingly fat and much more beautiful. The second one, fully disconnected from the first, likewise drew forth this same living thing which God gave to him as He had unto the first one. Taking this precious, bright and living gift, this one began to distribute it among many others like himself who suddenly appeared around him. They also had like gifts which they were sharing with one another. As the second one continued to give and share his gift among many others, I noticed that it was worshiping the others, impelled by the great regard he held for them. Then the third one appeared which was also fully disconnected from all the others. It desired and was given the same gift from the Lord, but it neither consumed it on itself nor distributed it among others. The third one kept it for the Lord Himself. Then I noticed a strange thing: the third one was connected directly to the Lord, as it were being a very part of Him. The lovely gift He carefully kept and held for the One in the glory Cloud who had given it unto him. When the Lord spoke He said, "Now I am going down to collect again that which I have given. Some are not expecting me, but I am going to appear unto them to give each one his reward. It is now time for me to receive back that which I have given them." Then I saw that the third one was waiting for His appearing 'with all readiness' and had been joined by many other like ones who also had the same gift and were keeping it only for the Lord. He further said, "These are mine own who are eagerly expecting me. They shall have much joy at my appearing, for I shall remain with them. The others who have been unfaithful with that which I have given them shall be destroyed." I saw Him as He descended unto them filling them with great joy and glorious beauty as they welcomed Him. I saw the others no more at all.

THOSE WHO CHANGED GARMENTS

His sweet drawings to my soul brought me once again into the spirit. Always He is especially sweet and loving when He is going to show me something of His judgments. He always talks to me, soothing me and carefully taking away all my tears before He shows me such things. For a long while I was there with Him in that glory place where He is in His great Cloud of fire arid light and where all is heavenly joy and peace. When in obedience to His order I looked below upon the earth, I saw the spirits of a great multitude of men. At first they were beautiful. Then as I watched them for a long while I saw that they were taken through a process that seemed to take a long time. Clothed with His garments at first, they seemed to have partaken of His life and to have that life in them. As I continued to watch they became angry with Him, their anger increasing gradually. This continued until they were all so angry that they took off His garments with which they were so beautifully clothed and put on ugly garments of their own. This made them appear most ugly and even repugnant. Their anger increased still more until they began to fight and quarrel among themselves until they destroyed themselves and became a great heap of rottenness. He spoke to me and said, "I have not, needed to go down to destroy them for they have destroyed themselves. The perverseness and evil that was in them has made them reject Me and has carried them on the their own destruction."

REIGNING WITH CHRIST

After welcoming me unto Himself and speaking heavenly peace into my heart, He took me with Him into that immense and glorious high throne room in the house of living stones. I recognized it for He had brought me there once before. Not only was it a place of great beauty and glory but of tremendous manifestations of power and radiant light even compared with other celestial scenes. The walls of this throne room were made of glorious angels of adornment and beauty which were placed there like living jewels of fire. They appeared to be the same angels I had seen some time before on the walls of the temple on the inferior plane. But now this living, temple-throne-room was much more glorious and superior to the one on the lower realm. The beauty, radiance, power and glory of this place were too great for me to describe adequately. In the glory and wonder of His Cloud, filled with fires, beauty, fierce thundering and inner activity was Jesus. I tremble at the remembrance of Him even in His most tranquil moments. How much more terrible is He when He is arisen! However, He always shelters me with a covering of love and tender sweetness that fills me with peace even though my senses are impacted at the sight of Jesus reigning in His great Cloud. Truly He is a mighty King over all Kings. As I looked I saw a small number of those fiery clouds that He calls His reigning ones which are so close and dear to Him. They are so much like Him that were He not present with them ... being so much greater ... they could easily be mistaken for Him. In this throne room of mighty glory these reigning ones are ever before Him and are never separated from Him. I know not how many there are of these reigning clouds for He has shown them to me in greater and smaller numbers. This time there were but a few as if in representation of the whole. These smaller clouds filled with fire were in two places at once. Even though they were in two places at the same time, nevertheless, they were not separated or divided They were one identity that could be in two or perhaps more places at the same time. Within the throne room with Him were these same reigning ones. At the same time they were also outside the throne room where they appeared so much greater in size. Seated upon tremendous thrones high and lifted up, these were reigning in great power and glory. Below each of them were other lower thrones and kingdoms of light which had been made subject to those reigning clouds who are ever with the Lord, Himself, in His mighty Cloud. Each reigning cloud of glory had his whole circle of under thrones and kingdoms. Although they had been given thrones and were kings over other kings, they were not apart from the Great King who is King over all kings, but were ever before Him in union, love and total subjection. Their multiplied reignings were but one reign and their kingdoms but one kingdom where Jesus was Lord over all.

THE DISGUISED ONES

Because I was in considerable pain and discomfort I found it difficult to rise above it to meet with Him. Nevertheless, He enabled me to push it all aside and draw near unto Him. Welcoming me from out of the glory of His Cloud, He showed me far below upon the earth a great road. In that road was Jesus, not in the manifestation of His great Cloud of fire, but much reduced in size, His glory being greatly hidden. Following Him in that road were a large number of people. Suddenly I saw a dark, deformed monster of evil. As I watched, I saw this huge, horrible being put on a mask that completely covered its hideous features, making it appear nice and good. Then it took white clothing of a certain imitation shining which did not look like the light that shines in celestial regions, but appeared more like a much inferior man-made light of some kind. Gathering together many smaller but equally disguised evil beings, this evil monster and his wicked consorts mixed with the multitude of those who were following Jesus. Scattering out among them, they began to deceive and to persuade some to follow them out onto a side road and to leave the way in which they were walking. With some they were successful. Others payed them to attention whatsoever, but went right on following the Lord. After a while ... for this seemed to be a long process and not a short incident ... in which a large number of His own had been deceived and drawn aside from the way, He turned and beckoned unto them, not allowing them to be completely drawn away. When He beckoned to them, I saw that a light went out from Him and illumined them. They immediately comprehended the truth about the disguised ones. Although the evil ones were not stripped of their masks or costumes of false light, His own were given to see through all their disguise and deceit. To a number of those who were not His own ones that light did not come, and they went right on following the evil ones into the ways of deceit and destruction. They remained blind and deceived, being greatly attracted to those evil ones who appeared to be good Jesus spoke to me saying, "I will not, let my own ones be deceived nor led astray." He opened their eyes in such a manner that they could see right through those disguises and know the hideous evil that was underneath the mask. As I watched I saw that He destroyed those deceiving ones and those who allowed themselves to be deceived by them.

LIGHTS OVER SHADOWS

As the Lord took me into the Spirit, He said, "Fear not. I have prepared thee for the battle," adding that the battles that He prepared for His people are not for the purpose of defeat nor for their wounding, but rather they were to cause them to draw near unto Him. Then taking me into His lovely presence in that high place where He dwells in the glory of His Cloud of fire, He told me to look. As I looked I saw far below the forces of the enemy like frightening shadows of darkness like immense mountains. Furthermore they were attacking His own ones whom I saw like lovely lights filled with glorious life. These shadows were battling against those lights trying to cover them, put them out and destroy them in their fury. Then suddenly those living lights who loved Him and were loved by Him rose up in anger and fury and great strength against those horrible shadows. As they stamped upon them flattening them under their feet they were drawing nearer unto Him. These battles and victories were effectively lifting them nearer unto Jesus. "When I permit the enemy to attack my own loved ones," He said to me, "I never take any risks of any kind at any time. For the enemy can never win the battle against them."

THE DESPISED FOUNTAIN

Taking me away into the spirit and gently receiving me unto Himself, He spoke away all my fears, causing His love to wash over me in great billows of gentle sweetness. "What I have given you none can take away, for I have given it to you and I am with you," He said. When He bade me look I saw a large group of people disconsolate and sorrowful. Upon seeing the sorrow and troubled state of these people I felt a great sadness for I saw that they were His people. When He spoke He told me not to be sad for them, explaining that they were in great sorrow, not because He had left them, but because they desired to be in that condition. They had despised, ridiculed and forsaken that which He had given them, not ever desiring to receive it. Therefore they were disconsolate. Then I saw as it were a beautiful fountain filled with sparkling waters of life, light and blessing. Yet His own ones were running about all disoriented, searching everywhere for water save in the fountain which He had prepared for them. In their desperate hunt for water they avoided and even refused to draw near unto the place of the fountain. Although they cried out desperately unto Him and repented, yet He did not answer them or help them at all. Nevertheless, I saw that He was with them. All the while He was carefully watching them and continually offering unto them the waters of the fountain. "I do not help them" He said, "because I have already told them what to do. They already know. Eventually they shall become so desperate that they shall surrender and draw near to partake of the water of the fountain that I have already given them."

THE GLORY CLOUD DESCENDS

As I sought Him in prayer He took me into the spirit to the place where He dwells in that great cloud of glory-fire. When He said, "Fear not," all my fears were dissolved and I felt free. After a time of just basking in His love and glorious presence He told me to look. When I did so I saw below on the earth His own ones who were filled with light. Very slowly His great cloud of glory was descending upon them covering and fully enclosing them. As it enclosed them, they appeared completely disoriented because they knew not that it was the glory cloud that enclosed them and hemmed them in. So enclosed were they that they could in no wise escape from this great shutting in. As more and more of the glory cloud increased upon them shutting them in, I saw Him open their eyes. Suddenly they discovered that they were all enclosed in the very cloud of glory which is Jesus Himself. They were with Him.

CLOTHED BY HIM

After a time of prayer I was taken by the Spirit unto Him who is so unutterably lovely. Enfolding me in His glorious love and the wonder of His great fire-Cloud He spoke to me, "Mine own do not understand as yet the greatness of My love for them. But I shall manifest it to them in such a way that they shall understand. When they arrive here to be with Me and see things as they really are, then will they truly comprehend how utterly insignificant and compressed into finite smallness are the things of life that they thought were of such great importance." As His own arrived one by one in that place He took from them what they had brought with them as one takes off an old, worn garment. He unclothed them, taking away their old garments and throwing them away. Although He unclothed them, yet they did not appear naked nor did He allow them to suffer any shame. Then He placed upon them a beautiful garment utterly different, glorious and filled with radiant light. As they entered one by one and were clothed upon by Him and filled with His glory, they really understood for the first time that their old garments were of no use at all up there.

THE JOINING CORD

In prayer I was carried away unto Him and saw the high heavens reflecting the glory of Him in His great Cloud. Speaking away my fears ... which He never fails to do ... and covering me with His love, He filled me with His wonderful joy. When He told me to look I saw two persons joined by what appeared like an umbilical cord which tied them one to the other. As I watched, I saw them both draw even farther and farther from the Lord, the first being continually dragged back by the other. More and more the second showed evidences of the evil that was within it, manifesting the darkness of its spirit and the lack of either light or life in itself. The first one tried with all its strength to force the evil one to draw back unto the Lord but all to no avail. Instead, the one who truly belonged unto the Lord and had life and light in himself was being dragged farther and farther away by the evil that was resident in the other one. In no manner could he overcome the strength in the other one nor could he stop the irresistible attraction which was dragging them both back into the realms of darkness. Finally He said to the first one, "You must break the cord." Then I saw the one of light and life make a special effort and he succeeded in breaking the cord that tied them together. With great rapidity they separated, the second rapidly receding into the darkness toward which it had been going and the other being drawn immediately unto Jesus in His great glory light. There He was greatly comforted, for He had desired to be with His Lord.

BLOWING UPON THE ROCK

After a difficult time of prayer with much opposition when the thoughts of darkness seemed to pound at my brain and His presence seemed most difficult to find, He finally came to me, drawing me away unto Himself. When He told me not to fear, all the difficulties that the battle had brought vanished by the power of His word in the light of His glory. After causing the waves of His mighty love to flow over me, He took me and showed me an immense obstacle that had the appearance of a mighty rock of astronomical size. His words startled me, "You can do this."

Without realizing why, I immediately answered, "No! I could never do this," before even understanding what it was that He wanted me to do. But I just remembered this huge obstacle and knew that it was impossible. Shortly afterwards He repeated the very same words again, "Yes, you CAN do this!" In the same negativeness of contemplating the obstacle I replied again, "Oh, no. This is too great and too strong for me. I can never do this." Reassuring me that I could, He commanded me to blow against the obstacle. As I blew against that huge, rock-like obstacle that had seemed to fill all space in front of me, to my utter amazement it immediately atomized into a powder. It appeared to have been nothing more than a frightening image which had no substance at all. After the huge obstacle had disappeared, a great sense of peace and well being filled me. When He spoke again He promised that it would always be just like this. "When you come up against anything impossible it shall always be like this. You will always be able to do what I order you to do."

THE TREE WITH ITS FRUIT

Covering me with a small canopy of love and peace which seemed like a downy nest and telling me not to fear, He took me away into the spirit. How utterly protected and cared for I felt! After enjoying His presence for a time He bade me look and when I looked I saw in immense tree filled with fruit. Although I had seen the same tree on other occasions, it was not as beautiful this time, but it was heavy laden with fruit. Suddenly He sent a great plague against that tree which invaded it like a great horde of evil forces. All manner of crawling, creeping things, dark, evil and frightening voraciously attacked the tree shaking it vehemently and causing most of the fruit to fall to the ground. As the fruit loosed its hold and fell from the tree, I saw that the fruit was the spirits of evil men who didn't belong to Him. When it was hanging on the tree with the rest of the fruit, the evi1 fruit did not appear any different from the good fruit. But after the violent shakings all the evil fruit fell and the good fruit remained on the tree, it was obvious that this good fruit belonged to Him. As I watched, I saw that after the shakings the tree had been greatly beautified. Its fruit, filled with the inner life which His things always manifest, shone with even greater glory light. Then He explained that when He sends His blessings to His people they often do not appear to them as blessings at first, but afterwards they would understand that these things truly were blessings. Although the shakings appear as evil at first, such was not true. To the contrary, the things that He sends were most surely from Him and would be of great blessing.

ARCHES OF POWER

In the spirit He took me to that glorious throne room ... a place so high, immense and superior even compared to heavenly things that I can in no manner describe it. The walls of that living temple are all composed of the mighty angelic beings of that realm whose bodies are made of living gems of great glory and beauty. Before Him were the reigning ones, each in his own order just as I have seen them before. Enveloped in his own smaller cloud, each reigning one was just like the Lord in His far greater Cloud of fire and glory. As I watched, The Lord gave unto each of the reigning ones something like a great arch of glory which I understood to be composed of tremendous works of signs, miracles and powers. These arches of frightful proportions manifested immense power and might. Then He spoke with a thunderous voice commanding these reigning ones to carry forth these arches as signs unto the men of the earth as He had promised. Instantly the great throne room was filled with violent rushings, burning fires and shining glory as of living power unsheathed. At the same time I could see far below upon the earth these same reigning ones whom I had seen with Him in the throne room with the arches of power and signs. They were in two places simultaneously with the same signs, wonders and works of mighty power. On the earth they went to a place that had already been preassigned to them ... a fixed place where they began to do wonderful works and bring forth signs and great miracles as they had been commanded to do. Although they manifested their works of power in one certain, prearranged place, nevertheless, all the people of the entire earth beheld the mighty signs and wonders they were doing. Not one failed to behold these works. They brought great fear and wonderings and the whole earth was filled with the knowledge of them. As they were working these great signs upon the earth, they never went out from that throne room where they remained with Him. Just as I had seen Him in His Cloud in two places at the same time, so did these reigning ones ... as lesser clouds ... appear in more than one place at the same time.

DECREED DESTRUCTION

Because I cannot understand very much of what He shows me, I never ask Him to show me any of these things. I just long for Him and seek Him and He never disappoints me, but always comes to me just as He has promised to do. And today He didn't disappoint me either. Any pain, sorrow or battle against the enemy is richly repaid by just a little time in the glorious embrace of His love as He takes me unto Himself in the wonder of His great Cloud. Telling me not to fear (because everything that He had told me would most surely and shortly come to pass) He came to me once again. It seemed that a part of His Cloud came over me, covering me in a little canopy as His love swept in, over and through me. Today He was especially tender as He always is when He shows me something concerning His enemies and their end. When I looked where He had indicated, I saw far below upon the earth a great number of places which I knew to be cities, although I did not see any buildings. I saw them as large populations scattered here and there upon the earth, but I did not know who or where they were except that they were the cities of men. In an advanced state of decomposition they appeared to be dead already, yet they were still living. So ugly and black were they without any vestige of either light or life that I knew they were marked for destruction which was already determined upon them and from which there was no escape. Already they were too far decomposed for any hope of relief. Scattered here and there among the various populations or cities were a goodly number of beautiful beings which looked like lovely flowers in dank and putrid pools of water. Full of light and life they stood out markedly visible in contrast to all the putrid ones around them. It was evident that these beautiful beings were those that belonged to Him who were living among the muck and vileness that surrounded them. His words to me were: "I shall send and gather out those who are mine before I send my destruction upon those places." Then I saw, as it were, someone going and picking the flowers from their evil setting. Now plucked up and taken away, they no longer remained among the putrid ones, being taken out before the coming destruction. As soon as He had gathered out all of His own, He sent a word of destruction upon those that remained. I saw them no 1onger.

THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE

As I was worshiping Jesus and just loving Him in prayer, He caught me away into His world. As always, He spoke away all my fears, pouring His love upon me in overwhelming waves of sweetness and. tenderness and making me to know that the greatest part of all heaven is the wonderful loving of God of His dear ones. This time of welcoming and loving me when He calms all my fears is a necessary prerequisite before I am ready to be taken further into the vision. Always it is just Jesus Himself and His voice speaking to me in a way that never fails to glorify Himself and to comfort me. He told me that everything He had spoken unto me would be fulfilled. In fact, this is one of the things He has been saying to me each time He takes me unto Himself into His world. When He took me up into the higher heavens, I found myself in the throne room of the house of living stones - a room which seems far more immense than the house full of rooms below it. What a strange house it is with all of its walls of beautiful living stones. Although there are so many rooms that I could never count them, nevertheless, the throne room is like a great top floor which caps them all. I call it the throne room because from this room He rules with all His reigning ones who are so like Him in His fiery Cloud. However, there is really no throne at all inside it is as if the very room itself is the throne over all. The Lord Jesus Christ, Himself, in the wonder and fiery glory of His awe-inspiring Cloud pillars up so infinitely far above the roof of the temple that I can never see the top of it. It is as if everything ... and the very temple itself ... continually proceed forth from Him. The entire roof of the temple of living stones above the great throne room has been burning in intense, living fire ever since I saw Him enter the temple after its completion and set the roof afire. The whole roof ... both inside and outside ... appears like a blazing, radiant fire that is intensely beautiful. This fire, which is not destructive, burns and burns in brightest flame, yet never consumes. I noticed that the walls of the high throne room were all made of the living forms of the high angels that enclose it. These mighty angels with wings extended are not like pictures but are alive and gloriously active, yet they remain in their places. Composed of radiant and light-filled gems, they are seemingly crowned with wisdom and power. In spite of their immense size there is an innumerable host of them which make up these mighty walls. Before the mighty glory Cloud ... filled with terrible rushings of fire and blazing glory which lightens the place more than innumerable suns ... stand the reigning ones. These remain before Him as the reigning fires in their small clouds. However even in their smallness, they are greater in size than our greatest mountains and look like open volcanoes. In order around about them I again saw the beautiful living stones filled with living fire that radiates out from them in mighty power. As I gazed in glorious amazement at this wonder, He bade me look again. As I looked I saw that He was showing me the floor of this wonderful temple. Made of crystal, living water, this floor was filled with inner movement and vibrated and pulsated with fullness of life. This water of life, smooth as crystal and with an inner quality of purity that I cannot describe, was flowing forth from His mighty glory Cloud. Although I looked carefully, I could not see it flowing outside to any other place. Upon this great crystal floor of radiant living waters were standing the reigning ones: both the small, fiery clouds and also the fiery, living stones. Although I have tried to tell the wonder and glory of this high place, I feel so inadequate. It seems to sully it to even try to describe such glory in human speech. I just pray that He will forgive my terrible incompetence in telling His wonderful things. For nothing that I can say gives the right description as I desire, nor does it any where nearly adequately describe the true wonder and glory of that place.

LITTLE DROPS OF WATER

Even though I felt ill physically and found it difficult to enter into prayer, nevertheless, He enabled me to come near unto Him. Comforting me and telling me of His love and tender watch care, He told me not to fear at all for any reason because what He had spoken would most surely come to pass. He told me to enter into His rest because He would carry me and promised that I should see with my own eyes in my days these things fulfilled. "Not one single thing that I have spoken unto you shall be forgotten," He said. Then as His love flooded me with great tenderness He took me away into the great Cloud of glory and fire. There in the Cloud He gave me what seemed like little drops of water like living seeds. Soft, lovely and filled with life, they were so different to the touch than any water of our world. When He told me to put one of these little drops into a certain place I did so and saw nothing. Then after awhile when He told rue to look again where I had placed that little drop of water, I saw that a wonderful fountain of living water had sprung forth. The little drop had so grown and developed until it had become a fountain of living water. He went with me to many, many other places and each time the same thing happened. First I would see nothing as I put down my little drop of water. Then after a while when He took me there again, I saw that the little water drop had become a fountain of living water.

THE FLAMING SWORDS

Because of weariness I found it difficult to enter into prayer. But fortunately He helped me greatly and at last enabled me to find His presence. As I was doing nothing else but just loving Him, He caught me away unto His great world where He dwells in the Cloud. This time the Cloud ... now in great fury ... was no longer in the throne room of the temple of living stones. How grateful I was that He had completely sheltered me in the covering He always provides for me when He shows me things of wrath or destruction so that I am never hurt nor destroyed. No fears can penetrate that covering of intense love. The wrath and fiery activity of the Cloud with its sounds of thunderings, voices, great rushing of winds and tremendous inner turbulence were terrible to behold. Suddenly there came forth from the Cloud terrible swords of fire that I had seen once before. But this time they shot, forth with terrible vehemence and velocity, directed away from the place where I was and down toward His enemies. These fiery swords were huge and looked as though they were filled with blood and great wrath. Living and terribly incandescent with great inner violence, they were ever turning, cutting and slashing, destroying everything in their pathway. Behind the swords came multitudinous angels whose whole demeanor depicted terrible wrath and violence. These were the mighty angels of high order whose form was made of living gems, polished, shining and radiant. With a terrible velocity they relentlessly pursued close behind the swords. As raging beasts seek their prey, the swords of fire and wrath moved self-directed towards their prey and the angels followed them, fulfilling their own mission by accompanying the fiery swords. Behind the angels there was launched forth from the Cloud, in its mighty wrath and fierce anger an immense and awful mountain of fire. Filled with destructive fire which was frightening in its aspect, it appeared like a raging inferno seeking out its prey. Directly behind the fiery swords and the angels of wrath came this immense mountain of fire which was sent out from the Cloud with great vehemence and velocity. Even though I was carefully sheltered in my hiding place I felt frightened and was greatly troubled, not understanding the thing I was beholding. Then He spoke to me saying, "Fear not, for not one of mine own shall be hurt in any way. Neither shall they feel any pain. To the contrary, this occurrence shall cause them to have great joy." Suddenly I felt a great release from my fears and an abundant rejoicing filled me even as I was witnessing the wrath of God being outpoured.

THE LIBERATING FIERY SWORDS

Only after a long time of battle against strong opposition in the spirit world could I enter into the presence of the Lord. As He caught me away unto Himself, He prepared me in His love and calmed all my fears as He always does before taking me to the might glory Cloud and showing me His wrath. Tenderly loving me and carefully enclosing me, He set me in my hiding place where He has so often taken me. Hidden away in Him I can see and hear all that is going on outside. It seems that nothing in all the heavens or universe can penetrate inside to harm me in that quiet, place where He covers me with a canopy of love ... a canopy which is similar to a transparent house of light. Then as I rest securely in that beautiful hiding place He opens before me the rest of the vision. I saw the Cloud of glory in terrible fury. Even though many times I have seen His wrath and destruction fall upon His enemies, nevertheless, I can never, never become accustomed to the sheer terror and catastrophic dimensions of this horrible wrath. Even in the wonder of my hiding place I feel the horror and fright of it, even though no fear can enter into me. The consuming fires, the awful rushings, the flashings and violences are beyond all words to describe as this immense mountain of consuming fire followed them down towards His enemies. But this time I was shown where they were and what they were going to do. Far below upon the earth I saw great thrones and dominions of evil and darkness that had risen up against the Lord and against His people. Like mighty mountains of black darkness they had risen up against those that belonged to Him. Having bound them in chains and bondages and built for themselves great dominions and thrones, they had moved against them with irresistible force binding them so that they could not loose themselves. In His wrath He spoke to me saying, "I have sent forth my great, fiery swords which shall cut asunder the bonds and chains of my people. As they become loosed they shall then be enabled to gather together and become united into one." I watched as those same fiery swords flashed down upon the people and loosed them from their bondage's. Gathering together, they became so united that they formed one mighty and glorious mountain of light that was wonderful to behold. Although He did not give me to see what the mighty angels were doing, nevertheless, I saw them there and knew that they had taken an active part in this great destruction of God's enemies and the complete liberation of His people. Then I saw this immense mountain of destructive fire that proceeded from the Lord in the Cloud following closely behind the fiery swords and the wrath filled angels. This blazing, consuming, destructive mountain of fire fell upon all those thrones and dominions and swallowed them up, completely destroying them. Now buried under the terrible fire of the burning wrath of the Lord, I saw them no more. When He spoke again, He told me that He had destroyed all the dominions and reigning thrones that had oppressed His people and prohibited them from joining together and uniting into one body.

THE ARTIFICIAL ONES

Very nervous and excited about a coming trip on the morrow, and feeling fatigued and sleepy, I could not get into the spirit. I fought until dawn began to lighten the eastern sky. Then He came to me helping my weaknesses and taking me unto Himself. Nor did He scold me for taking so long to come unto Him. After welcoming me in His love, He took me away to where He reigns in that mighty glory Cloud and covered me immediately in that lovely hiding place that is so warm and safe that it feels like one is a small baby snuggling down in its mother's arms. From my hiding place I could see and hear all that was going on outside. All the heavens were filled with His glory and the glory of those beings that inhabit the high place. Oh, how very far apart are the two worlds! When I saw Him in a state of wrath I understood why he had placed me in my hiding place. He then directed me to look below to the earth where I saw a great number of souls. Although a part of them were those that belonged to Him, there was a large number with them who were not His. While identical, nevertheless, some of them were artificial, as though in the same flower garden some one had placed artificial flowers of the same kind and hue as the real ones. Then I saw that those artificial ones without any life in themselves were trying to drain away the life of His true ones. Like evil leeches they were trying to suck out their life and thereby weaken them. He said to me, "Those that are trying to drain the life from mine own ones will have no success. No one can have anything that is not given to him. No one can rob from another. I shall descend and the true state of these artificial ones shall be revealed. Though they have desired to hide their true condition, I shall not permit them to remain concealed any longer. They have desired to eat that which did not belong unto them and which had not been given them, making a mockery of Me and occupying a place alongside My own ones as if they were one and the same. But I shall take them away by revealing unto my own who they are. Being revealed they can no longer proceed in their wicked designs and purposes. I shall never permit my own to be either mocked or weakened. Why hast thou been afraid? Have I not said that I am with thee? I have not left thee and I shall never leave thee. Even though there arise great shadows against thee, I will scatter and destroy them, for I will not allow them to injure thee. I am the Mighty and Strong One. Nothing shall prevail against Me!"

DESTRUCTION BY BLOOD

With the many preoccupations of today I found it most difficult to enter into the state of peace and adoration necessary for Him to draw me near unto Himself. But at last I fought through all the opposition and entered. As always, the more difficult the opposition, the more glorious is His welcoming love. After flooding me with that love and washing away all my fears, He took me away unto the glory Cloud. He did not show me the wonders and beauties of things above, but placed me in my hiding place and covered me with His love and told me to look. As I looked, I saw there below upon the earth the souls of men who were very angry and greatly lifted up in warfare against the Lord and against His people. He said, "Before, when my people belonged unto those wicked ones they were satisfied. But when I went down and took My people from among them, it caused them to rise up in great wrath and attempt to destroy them. They shall not succeed for I shall destroy those evil ones whose very blood shall rise up to destroy them." Then I saw among the great multitude of the souls of evil men upon the earth a strange, evil force which was like a great, dark red flood that appeared like blood. This force of violent blood, full of anger and great destructive forces, rose up against the enemy and engulfed them in its destruction and violent anger.

THE DOOR OF THE CROSS

I was praying as we returned by bus to Peniel in Mar del Plata at night. Suddenly the Lord drew nigh and almost before I realized it He had taken me up into His world. He told me that it was now time to tell of the sign — the door of entrance into His world that I had been prohibited from telling before. Ever since the time that He took me into that high sphere where He reigns in the glory of His fire Cloud I have seen this same sign When I open my spirit unto the Lord, the opposing forces come and try in every way to hinder my reaching Him; many times I must fight against fierce spiritual opposition. Very few times am I given entrance without several hours of battle against enemy forces that oftentimes become even visible. Because they are very powerful I must rebuke them in the spirit before they allow me to go on into His presence. As I draw near to Him there appears before me a most glorious cross - the same one that I have seen in earlier visions which He showed me when I was with Him on the lower spheres. This glorious cross of celestial light and life comes before me in the appearance of a great door. He invites me to enter and as I pass through that door of the cross, all the fright and fear of the outer world leaves me and I come into the wonder and glory of His celestial world. As I go through this door of pure light His voice reaches me telling me not to fear. As a great wave of warm love light He floods me and the fears and horrors of the evil ones are completely washed away and I am free from all their terrors. He spoke further and said, “That which I have given is something that shall go to all places that I have marked out and shall become implanted in strength. It shall be a force of life which shall accomplish all that I have ordained. Fires shall rise up and pass over the things that I have given, but they shall not be able to destroy nor shake that which I shall cause to be rooted. I shall make them more powerful and great than those fires and they shall be invincible. Nothing at all shall be able to impede because I am in My work. You shall see these things that I shall do and shall wonder and declare, "How faithful is my God!"

THE MOUNTAIN OF REIGNING FIRES

After a long and difficult battle against spiritual oppositions, I was at last enabled to press through into the spirit and past that glorious door of the cross. Taking away all my fears by His spoken word and flooding me with His love, He said, "I bear you in my arms. All things concerning you are carefully taken care of by me. Fear not, for nothing shall be able to bring you into confusion." Then He brought me into that high and holy place from where He rules all heaven and all His creations. In obedience to His order I looked and saw there upon the earth a glorious mountain of reigning fires which are exactly like His is in His Cloud. The coming together of those immense reigning fires that I had seen before formed a mountain that seemed even bigger than the earth itself. Joined together, these reigning fires were glorious to behold. The blazing mountain did not seem to be made of our kind of fire but of the very fire of God, Himself ... a fire which is light and at the same time, love. When He gave an order I saw all the reigning fires scatter one from another over the face of the whole earth, literally covering it by fire until all became a tremendous flame. Thus His enemies were destroyed by the living fire which burned in His reigning ones.

THE UPROOTED STONE

Again today there was much opposition. It was a long, hard battle and the evil ones seemed tireless in their determination to keep me from corning to Jesus. But at the last He took mercy upon me and took me up into the spirit and transported me through that wondrous doorway of the cross unto Himself. The enemy could do no more to hinder. Jesus washed away all my fears by His words then filled me with the wonder of His love and brought me unto Himself. And there in the light and glory of His wonderful Cloud He comforted me. When He opened my eyes to see I saw far below upon the earth a mighty stone which was larger than a great mountain. This stone did not appear to have any evidence of life, light or beauty in it. He then took the stone, lifted it up and cut it off from its roots. I was amazed to see a great stone like that with roots, for I had thought that only trees and other growing things had roots. But this stone had great roots reaching far down into some kind of a base or foundation. He first, uprooted it and then cut off all its roots and removed it from its base. He then proceeded to set it upon a new base. This time He set it upon Himself as a foundation. Just as soon as He became the foundation of that great stone, life, light and glory rushed up into it making it a glorious stone full of life and great beauty. When He spoke He told me that He was going to do this very same thing unto His own.

THE UNHEARD CRY

For several hours I had to fight heavily against the enemy who was very determined that I should not press through unto Him. Finally He brought me through all their torturing clamoring unto the doorway of the cross of light. As I entered He spoke to me and said, "Do not fear. All that raises up against you, you shall overcome. For this reason you are called an overcomer." Then before taking me close to Himself in that mighty Cloud of glory He said, "Already the word has been given to gather My own ones together and take them out from among those upon the earth that shall be destroyed. For I shall bring destruction upon the evil ones." As I watched, I saw that before He destroyed the evil souls of men upon the earth they were given to know beforehand that destruction was coming upon them. When they began to cry unto His ones asking for help, He said, "These shall lament and cry for help even unto My own people, but I shall put an invisible wall around them so that they shall not be able to hear their cry." Then I saw His own gathered together and around them was a great canopy like a transparent covering through which they could not hear or be troubled by the lament and cry of the evil ones around them.
