The Word Volume 3: 1973-1976: Mystical Revelations of Jesus Christ through His Two Witnesses

By Elizabeth Clare Prophet

Jesus Christ is the avatar of the ages-the same yesterday, today and forever. We knew him when he walked the streets of Atlantis and Lemuria. We also knew him in eras of darkness, when he sought to lead men to the light. His message did not begin with the Bible, nor did it end with the Book of Revelation. He has never stopped speaking to his own.

Two thousand years ago, he foretold a time of tribulation-the end of an age. That time has come. It is the era when the mystery of God should be finished, when the Two Witnesses should prophecy "a thousand two hundred and threescore days."

And so Jesus once more delivers his Word to a world in transition. As always, the message is one of judgement to the fallen angels, admonishment to those who would walk in the light, hope for all who are striving on the path, and the vision of golden age to come.

This volume includes dictations by Jesus Christ through Elizabeth Clare Prophet given from 1973 to 1976.

CHAPTER 1

THE ALCHEMICAL UNION OF THE SOUL WITH THE SPIRIT

Dominate the Planet with Light and the Power of the Christ Mind

Disciples of the Christ who have trod the homeward path down through the ages, I am come this day to speak to you of the marriage of Cana.¹

When I attended that feast with my mother, Mary, it was to initiate the spiral of alchemy—the spiral of my mission that would culminate in the ritual of the ascension as a demonstration to all mankind of what man can do and of what man must do. And I shall outline for you, through this messenger, the thirty-three steps of the miracles and healings that are required of each one for the perfectionment of the life pattern of this planetary home and of many schoolrooms like it.

This day I desire to speak to you of the marriage feast, and the knowledge of the other rituals will come to you in written and spoken form. For this is a cosmic day. It is a day of the celebration of the feast of the Cosmic Virgin and the marriage of the Cosmic Virgin to the Holy Spirit. This is the day when I set the pattern, for all mankind and for the Divine Woman, of the alchemical union of the soul with the Spirit, the marriage for which each of you longs.

The yearning for wholeness is this day fulfilled in you by a pattern that you then may pursue and fill in because I have come and I have spoken. And in my words I have given the chalice of the golden-age victory over sin, disease, and death.

That blessed day, at the moment of the initiation of my mission, had been prepared for well in advance, for we knew what each step of the way would be. For we had received the training at Luxor and in the retreats in the Himalayas. Yet somehow there was that last thought of desiring to preserve the status quo of not being known, not being heard of. And so even I, when the time came, for a moment resisted the beginning of the spiral that I knew would take me through all the periods of trials and temptations and challenges and persecutions for the purpose of the glorious atonement, the at-one-ment with God.

The householder who was in charge of the marriage feast gave to his guests the wine that had been transmuted from the water. And he even commented that most people do not save the best wine for the last because people are drunken and they do not appreciate the good wine. And so, the best wine is reserved for the last because the best wine is the wine of the Holy Spirit, of the Holy Communion of the bride and the Christ.

THE ARCHETYPAL PATTERN OF MARRIAGE UPON EARTH

I say, then, to you, in that miracle was the mastery of substance, but more than that. It set forth the record of all time—the example, the archetypal pattern of what marriage should be upon earth.² Set forth as a human institution by the Brotherhood, it is the necessary unit of man and woman to bring forth the Divine Manchild. But it must be understood that each partner in the marriage is celebrating the union of the heart and the soul and the mind with the God Presence.

When two people come together to be blessed in holy matrimony, it is for the purpose of the consecration of the soul’s union with her God Presence, when she wears the wedding garment and attends the wedding feast—when the individual can sit down at the table with the Christ and receive the wine and the bread of Holy Communion. If all people would so consecrate their lives, whether they choose the celibate path³ or marriage, mankind would behold the fruits of the Holy Spirit in manifestation. There would not be cause for strife and discord in marriage or among members of holy orders, for man and woman would find their oneness in God, in the God Presence. Each one being whole, the manifest perfection of the Whole-I-Spirit then brings the divine wholeness to the marriage feast.

You recall the parable of those who came not with the wedding garment and the one that was cast into outer darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.⁴ And so when the hour comes for the celebration of your own wedding, you must have the wedding garment, which is the mantle of light that you have woven with the purity of your consciousness and your desire and with your manifest action of prayer and holy communion to become one with the Christ. The soul, then, is the feminine counterpart of your being, the bride that stands before the I AM Presence and is received into that holy union of divine Oneness.

A DESCENT OF LIGHT TO CONSECRATE THE DIVINE FEMININE ON EARTH

Let us, then, this hour—O angels of victory, angels of illumination, angels of freedom—proclaim the freedom of the Divine Woman and of her Divine Manchild. Let us proclaim the freedom of the souls of all mankind. Let us wrap mankind not only in the swaddling garment of the infant babe but in the wedding garment of the Christ and of the bride adorned for her husband.⁵

Let the jewels of the sacred fire now descend as a mighty shower of substance, of light, of the quickening power of the diamond-shining mind of God. White-fire and yellow-fire and blue-fire diamonds, descend! Descend from the heart of the City Foursquare and from Alpha and Omega to consecrate the energies of the divine Feminine upon this earth, to purify and cleanse and seal the white-fire core of being, to seal the base of the spine and the crown as the Alpha and the Omega in man rise to meet the purity and wholeness of the Holy Spirit.

So let the Holy Spirit, the cosmic consciousness foursquare of the Almighty, consecrate each one to the androgynous perfection of being. Let each one find this bliss and this joy in the alchemical union.

So do the waters of the wine of the Holy Spirit flow freely, and this wine now pours as a fountain of water in your midst. And the earth shall receive this hour the benediction of the Holy Spirit by the sacred purple fire accompanied by the golden liquid light. And so the purple and gold, focusing the power of the sixth ray of ministration and service, gives to mankind the illumination to be free, the freedom to be illumined—by the power of the Cosmic Christ consciousness and by the power of the God of Freedom—for the golden age now dawning.

THE FUSION AS THE TORCH IS PASSED BETWEEN SOLAR HIERARCHIES

I come, then, and my legions come with me. And I, Jesus, the Christ, stand before you to acknowledge this hour that mankind stand at the pinnacle of opportunity, that open portal to the divine unity that shall come to them by the hand of freedom, by the hand of wisdom, by the hand of service, loving service rendered—by the angels, by the Elohim, by the masters, and by people to people.

Precious hearts, ride the crest, the golden wave of light that comes crashing upon the earth with the incoming of Pisces, the mighty hierarchy of water. And so the waters of light, the waters of fire, the golden liquid light floods the earth, washing man clean, scrubbing the pores of his consciousness, of his mind, preparing the way for the fires of freedom.

Hierarchies of Aquarius and Pisces rejoice in this alchemical union this day. For at each change of the solar signs, there occurs the fusion of the mighty hierarchies as air becomes water, as water becomes fire, and fire becomes earth, and earth becomes air, and air becomes water.⁶

And so the cycle goes around the cosmic clock. The torch is passed. And when the hands of the hierarchies grasp the torch, at that moment when both are holding the same torch, there is that fusion, there is that transmutation, there is that alchemy of the marriage of Cana.

BE THE PEACE-COMMANDING PRESENCE

And so, precious hearts, my admonishment to you is to walk upon the waters of Life as I did. Be the peace-commanding, masterful presence. Walk over the waves and be not moved. Do not fear. Do not doubt your calling.

For I will not let you slip. I will not let you sink beneath the waves. I will hold your hand each step of the way if you require it. But I prefer that you walk alone, all one with your Presence, to demonstrate the mastery as I did. But I will be there should you need me, should you desire to clasp my hand for a moment and say, O Lord, save me or I perish.⁷

You will not perish, precious hearts. But when you feel that you might, remember that you have come face-to-face with those who think that they can challenge the power of God-mastery and the flame of Christ-dominion. But they have not the existence, neither the stronghold in the heart of the Creator to sustain their darkness, their fears or their doubts unless you give to them a helping hand, unless you sustain those fears and doubts that they bring to you for your consideration.

I say, then, challenge the fear of the planet! Challenge the doubt! Challenge the night! Challenge death! And you will see it dissolve before you in a golden age of immortality, of enlightenment, of freedom, and of peace to all nations.I cannot take my leave of you without reminding you of a tremendous opportunity and power that is in your hands to work the works of God in this age. If you will but speak with the authority of the Christ, the Word that challenges darkness, a thousand legions will descend on your right hand and ten thousand on the left hand. These are legions of light, not darkness. These are legions of purity and perfection, and they will go forth to do your will.

Will you not try them? Will you not remember to be masterful, the peace-commanding presence, throughout the day, throughout the moments, throughout the tedious periods of density and the striving feeling of the world’s consciousness coming up for transmutation? Will you not walk the earth with me as sons and daughters of dominion during this cycle?

I say to you, if you will remember to dominate the planet with light and with the power of the Christ mind, you will then be passing the torch with the hierarchies of Pisces to the hierarchies of Aries. And you will find that a great momentum of God-mastery will be fused with the momentum of God-control to expand the spiral of mankind’s victory this year. Will you not, then, remember to walk with me through the cycles of the solar hierarchies,⁸ through the entire spiral, to make this 1973 a glorious ascended Christ perfection on behalf of all mankind?

You can be so much more the master than you are if you will only give some forethought to your words, your deeds, and to your thoughts and feelings. You can conquer. For all of heaven stands ready to infuse the power of your word with victory.

PREPARE FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY

Try me. I AM your elder brother. I AM your Jesus. And I stand ready, at the hour when you have passed the necessary initiations, to come before you as the priest of the sacred fire to perform the marriage ceremony of the soul with the Spirit of God.

You have the pattern and you have the mantle. Now walk in the pathway of light. Be overcomers. And prepare for your wedding day. Prepare for the day when the crown of glory shall rest upon your head as the victorious overcoming of the crown of the twelve stars of the Divine Mother. Prepare for its physical, tangible manifestation within you. For right on earth, you can walk as ascended unascended beings.

Would you not like to be an unascended ascended master? An unascended ascended lady master? This means that you have the power and authority of an ascended being while you yet walk the earth in robes of flesh. This is possible in this age.

Hasten, then, the balancing of your karma. Let not one opportunity pass to be sons and daughters of dominion. And then watch. Watch the great opportunities that the cosmic lords and hierarchies shall present to you to be victors over hell and death, to have the all-power of heaven and earth and to extend it unto the children of mankind.

Receive them into your arms as these little ones, for they are the hope of the future. Nourish their souls. Nourish their forms. Above all, nourish their hearts and minds.

And so the earth, a ball of golden light, shall ascend into the golden age and mankind shall know the victory of the fight!

I, Jesus, salute you in the bonds of the sacred fire and of the heavenly alchemy that shall become your own.

CHAPTER 2

MERCY FOR THE TIME OF GREATER JUDGMENT

My Chosen, Whom I Have Chosen:

The judgments of men are not impartial, for they are incomplete. They are based not upon clear seeing, but often upon the competitive mind, emphasizing the struggles between peoples and personalities rather than that self-competition, which ever seeks to reach higher in the way of genuine spiritual service and attainment.

The time of the threshing floor¹ is at hand. More and more, the Karmic Lords are finding it necessary, even when tempering their judgments by mercy, to execute those judgments upon the ungodly, which return to them their actions originating in the human consciousness that have denied mercy both to themselves and to others. These have entered into the marts of deceit, adding to the confusion of the world and holding back temporarily the blessed elements of truth by which one day all shall be known even as they are known.²

It is impossible, O beloved mankind, to deceive the jot-and-tittle consciousness³ of the Great Law of the universe. Inasmuch as all things were made by God, certainly our Father should be able to execute judgments wise and just that take into account not only the evil that men do, but also the good. Let none fear, then, that the good things that he does will escape the eye of the universe unnoticed or that the evil things that men do will not live after them.⁴

THE BALANCE OF MERCY AND JUSTICE INHERENT WITHIN THE LAW

One of the great problems of the world for centuries and millenniums has been mankind’s propensity toward rationalization whereby they seek to escape from the hands of divine justice. Yet true it is that the balance of mercy and justice inherent within the Law seeks ever to provide a way of escape for mankind that they may believe that the mercies of God endure forever.⁵ There is no pleasure in the Godhead, or in the universe itself for that matter, in bringing to judgment any among mankind.

The bounty of divine love is scarcely known by embodied mankind. There is a tendency for human beings to overemphasize the judgments of God as though harshness were the forte of the Law and the thunderings of the Law were like tooth and fang, thunderings of vengeance. Whereas it is true that Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord,⁶ that statement is also an attestation to the superior judgments of God. The judgments of men are not only careless, but they are callous, excusing themselves while condemning others for the same thing.

He that is delivered from the consciousness of the spoiler⁷ understands that the preservation of life according to divine ideals is accomplished through the preservation of the elements of mercy so that men will seek righteousness and pursue it diligently, knowing that thereby all mankind will find peace and security in a future of loveliness and high adventure.

The scars upon the heart of the world are the scars upon the heart of the Divine Mother. Embodied in the maternal aspects of true motherhood are the conceptions of enfolding all life with a mantle of spiritual aspiration. It is ever the will of the Divine Mother to see her children living not only in harmony with themselves, but also with one another and the entire universe.

When I say that it is a great misfortune that individuals seem willing to allow the cutting-up of the Whole into separate manifestations pitted against one another, it is to show that the way of the spoiler is a snare to the soul. How unfortunate it is that individuals can come to a place in their judgments and condemnations of others where they can justify such thoughts and feelings. They seem unwilling to allow even for ordinary dialogue between themselves and that unfortunate individual whom they have now chosen as their enemy.

Little do people dream that in their failure to pray for their own clear seeing of the great tides of divinity within others, they are closing the door to truth, to appreciation, and to right judgment. For one day those who refuse to hear or to consider justice and mercy in the lives of others will find that life has failed to consider it in their own. Individuals always magnetize to themselves the very qualities that they have sent out into the universe and that they have applied to others.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF DROPS OF MERCY AND COMPASSION FOR LIFE

Knowing the great, wonderful feeling of freedom that comes to all when they invoke the power of love in their life—the power of loving one another without suspicion, without fear or failure, and with that high sense of gratitude for the existence of others and the Creator that has made all—I know that individuals will come at last to feel the selfsame love that is the love of the Father and the Son, a feeling of such internal unity as is seldom understood, let alone enjoyed, by embodied mankind today. Knowing that the time of greater judgment is at hand for many, I urge upon all the development of drops of mercy and compassion for life.

It is not necessary to overlook or ignore the dark doings of those who literally shatter the law of their being—their very own. Righteousness and strength, when adhered to, become the criteria of divine justice that automatically repels injustice in others. They who are of my Father’s kingdom, then, they who choose to make themselves spiritually of the house of David,⁸ of the root of Jesse,⁹ of Aaron’s rod that budded,¹⁰ of the eternal seed, like the stars of the sky or the sands of the sea innumerable,¹¹ signify their joint heirship with God.¹² The eternal priesthood of Melchizedek¹³ will understand justice and mercy and seek to enthrone it high upon the altar of their heart and being, central to their lives and the moving direction thereof. Thus, even in moments of mankind’s injustice, divine justice will blaze upon the altar of heart and soul.

I, Jesus, testify unto you all that the oil of God is poured out upon the rock,¹⁴ that all may be and know the laws of perfection that are identical for all and that one day will free all mankind from the Darkness and turn them to the yoke of the Light.¹⁵

Devotedly, I AM

CHAPTER 3

CLASSES AT THE TEMPLE OF THE RESURRECTION AT JERUSALEM: THE WEAVING OF THE WEDDING GARMENT

To the Pure in Heart, Who See God in Manifestation Everywhere:

To each man and each woman there is given the opportunity to prepare for the ascension. And none is deprived of the privilege of making himself ready. As a bride makes ready for her wedding day, filling the hope chest with the most precious linens and embroideries, so the soul makes ready for its reunion by garnering floral virtues, flame qualities, which it appliqués upon the seamless garment.¹ And none may participate in the marriage feast without a wedding garment.²

The All-Seeing Eye of God is the eye of the needle that pulls the thread woven of the energies of the individual’s solar awareness. The needle is the magnet of the central sun of man’s being. And the hand that pulls the needle is the hand dedicated to the will of God unto the outpicturing of his immortal perfection in every facet of life, every movement of being, and each service rendered unto God and man.

Vision dedicated to the flowering of perfection—this is the requirement of the hour of all who anticipate with rejoicing the moment of the great transformation when all shall indeed be changed in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trump of mortality is sounded³ and the immortality of the Christed One steps forth as the bridegroom at the altar of the sacred fire to proclaim the victory over hell and death and the merging of time into eternity.

THE PURPOSES OF GOD

The purposes of God are not always known to man. And yet day by day, degree by degree man comes to know the ineffable majesty of the purposes of God and how all things do indeed work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.⁴

You who loved him much have thought much upon his transition. I loved him, too, as you loved him. And I know of the anguish that grips the heart when a loved one departs. If only momentarily, even the most advanced disciples must feel a pang of regret, a sense of loss when the teacher is called to higher service.

How well I remember when the disciples of John the Baptist came and told me that Herod’s daughter had demanded his head and that the tetrarch, out of pride in his oath before men, had forsaken his oath to God and bowed to the will of the daughter of darkness.⁵ For a moment in eternity I, too, was seized with a sense of loss, even though
