10: Remembering

03. all Hope



Jonah was in the Mantric Word and the Spirit came to him and told him to arise and go to Ninevah, the Great City, and prophesy against it. Jonah was filled with fear and fled by ship away from the Great City. The Spirit caused a great storm to come upon the ship. The sailors cast all extra weight overboard and found Jonah asleep in the lower hull. The sailors then gathered together everyone on the ship and cast lots to see who the Spirit was cursing with the storm. The lot fell on Jonah, and he admitted that he was fleeing from the Word of YHVH. So the sailors cast Jonah into the sea, and it ceased its roaring. The Spirit had prepared a great fish which swallowed Jonah, who remained inside of it for three days and nights. Jonah repented and called the Word and the Spirit spake unto the fish and it vomited Jonah upon the dry land. The image of the fish shows that the story of Jonah is a message to today, the Age of the Fish, Pisces.



The prophesy aimed at these next years tells of seven dark years, the Great Tribulation, when most of the people on Earth will die. For three and a half years there will be war, and for three and a half years there will be droughts, famines, and pestilence. The souls known as the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Witness will bring these woes to pass because they are lost in illusion. Jonah's prophesy is for today: Return to the Way of Life or perish. All hope remains; the Destroyer doesn't have to ravage the world if people will learn to live in the Word of Love. The Judgment separates the quick of Spirit and the dead. The words "live" and "evil" are formed by opposite combinations of the same letters; to live is a blessing of the balance of Grace, but evil is all that leaves the balance and brings the curse of death. The Word of the One can bring freedom to our spirits. In the Word we shine with the Light of Love. Let us turn the world situation around, into peace and love through the Word, and choose the blessing of YHVH over the curse. All hope is in the Word of Love.



The Mantric Word again filled Jonah with Spirit and he came into the Great City, Ninevah, and cried against it, 'Thus saith the Lord, YHVH, forty days and Ninevah shall be overthrown.' So all the people, from king to beggar, fasted and repented every iniquity they had ever done. They made fair the wrongs they had committed and forgave everyone for the wrongs committed against them. The Spirit was pleased and so it turned the Destroyer away from the Great City. Jonah sat to the East of the city to see what would happen, and when nothing did, he was greatly distressed, even to the point of wanting to die. The Spirit caused a great plant to shelter Jonah, who rejoiced in the plant. The Spirit then smote the plant and the sun beat down on Jonah and he cried unto YHVH. The Word came to Jonah saying "thou hast pity on the plant, for which thou hast not labored, neither madest it to grow; which came up in a night and perished in a night; should not I, YHVH, have pity upon Ninevah, the Great City?"
