4th Trinity IV 2022, The Veil Will Part

  

Trinity IV

The end of Revelation 22:12-21 

"Keep watch. I am coming soon, and I will have my rewards with me to give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the goal. 

"Blessed are those who cleanse their garments so that they will have power in the realm of the Tree of Life, which overcomes death and may go through the gates into the Holy City. Outside shall remain those bound to low senses, those who serve evil powers, who walk impure paths of soul, who spread death around them, who give themselves up to demonic forces, and who, through their ways and deeds, falsify their true being. 

"I, Jesus, sent my angel to report these things to your assembled communities. I AM the root and stock of David, the star who unfolds his brightness in the morning." 

And the Spirit and the Bride, the Holy City, say, "Come!" 

And may whoever hears also say, "Come!" And may the thirsty come, and may everyone who wants it get to drink the Water of Life freely, as grace. 

Everyone who hears can find their inmost being strengthened in the prophetic words of this book. Whoever does not yet sense its greatness and truth, God will lead them to full knowledge through the trials of destiny written in this book. 

And whoever diminishes the words of this prophecy, God will remove from them their share in the Tree of Life that overcomes death and their share in the Holy City written about in this book. 

He who lends these words their power says, "Yes, I am coming quickly!" 

Yes, so be it. Amen. Come, Jesus our Lord. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all!

November 20, 2022

Revelation 22:12–21 

There is a great wellspring, a tree-shaped fountain, which exists just behind the veil of the senses. Bright waters gather and rise up powerfully, release in a great showering crown, and fall in sparkling color back to the Source to rise again, ever-changing, ever-renewed. 


Within this shimmering fountain-tree, there appears One who gathers substance and rises in birth, whose arms, outstretched like a cross, shower the blessings of his love’s light, who falls into death and then gathers himself and rises anew, who gathers and ascends again in ever greater cycles, joining heaven and earth.
 

He is the pattern for all life. The flowing rise of energy, the sustained spreading release of the crowning, the falling back to the Source; this pattern underlies the flow of our day, the rising and falling of the phases of our lives, the arc of an entire lifetime, and of lives in succession. 

“Fortunate are those who wash their garments so that they will have power in the realm of the Tree of Life that overcomes death.” 

We all wear inner garments of soul, garments woven of habits, thoughts, and feelings. We have stained them by our everyday willingness to ignore the fountain that flows just beyond the veil, by our resistance to parting the veil and stepping into the beyond. 

But through the veil, we hear His voice. He who shines with the brightness of morning encourages us to dip our soul garments into His fountain to overcome our earthbound tendencies. He encourages us to rise with him in enthusiasm, to release His love and light into life, to return with Him to the Source, which is the true spirit of the earth. 

“Keep watch,” He says, “Soon, the veil will part, and I will appear, the fountain overflowing with life. 

To you who have washed your soul garments in the knowledge that the sense world is not all that there is;

to you who have felt My power flowing through the veins of your life;

to you who have worked to rise above the death of your soul;

your reward shall be to join me in the Fountain of Life, to partake of my renewing life at its Source.

 

“…for those who want it may drink of me, the Water of Life, free, as grace.”
