Chapter 1 (Salutation, Address and Initial Theme)
Salutations to the churches scattered throughout the world of travail, in these the last days before our beloved Lord returns to reign. Know well, that the Master is ever attentive to your affairs. This shall prove either to your everlasting glory or unending shame depending upon your resolve. The Master of the house has sent Word that He will return quickly. Remember therefore your calling, that in reverence to your Lord, you are to fulfill the commandments given before His departure. And let this "due benevolence" be done without vain glory and self praise, for we could know nothing of the will of the Master but for the Word which He has sent. Therefore, let all those quickened by the Spirit of the Word and filled with the zeal of the house of the LORD, obey.
For the LORD is not petty in pride but rich in grace, counting you as His pride and glory and His names’ sake, seeing that you are enjoined through marriage to Jesus Christ, that you might bear the name of God as His faithful elect; who upon receipt of the Word of their Husband’s true grace, and being filled with the zeal of the Holy Spirit, "loved not their lives unto the death," as becomes the saints of faith, and were equally willing to lay down their lives to Him who is blessed and faithful forever. Amen.
Chapter 2 (Summary of the Nature and Works of God)
Blessed be the name of the LORD, who both gives and takes away according to His will. Yea, He who gives the breath of life by the Spirit of His Word, and steals that same breath away in our astonishment, upon our discovery of the mystery of God’s dedicated love toward His elect. Forgive us LORD; for we sinned only because we could not believe your grace and your glory could extend so far, even unto us, and encompass all things. Surely the LORD has done all this. If only it were possible that our faith should span the length, and breadth and height of your love, my King; then might we walk worthy of it.
Yea, blessed be the Everlasting LORD of Grace, who changes not: the Glorious Meridian and Eternal I Am, who’s every work, past, present and future was for our abundant glory. For though nothing is worthy of Him, God counted it not vain to bestow the confessions and tokens of His love upon us (for which He suffered the accusation of some unnamed sin by the angels that were with Him at that time), even through the long-sufferings of the foreknowledge of our betrayals and rebellions through sin. Blessed be the LORD our God, who "for all this His (grace) is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still."
For only by the over abundance of His righteousness could we exist, satisfying the deficit of our vanity with His infinite glory and abundant grace: through the Word of God in the days of creation, again in the manifestation of Jesus Christ unto our redemption, and promised in revelation by the blood of His righteousness and His Holy Spirit to preserve us in the last days of judgment. All that it may be made known forever that His grace spans the heavens, the earth, and the depths, even all that exists; for He forsakes none. But rather to our salvation has chastened us as His children, to reprove us from the ways of sin (that bear consequences beyond what we can presume or endure), that we may repent and be redeemed from the imminent death of sin, and be protected from the judgment that awaits the remorseless (who will be left to the devices that they have chosen).
For our righteous LORD, who does unto His people as He would have it done unto Him, will not neglect to honor even the will of those opposed to Him. But as He blessed all creation from the beginning, that all that they should endeavor to do would prosper by His grace; even too to those who distance themselves from the perfect will of God (these choosing to separate themselves from His glory unto the illusion of splendor without Him, who choose to dwell in darkness), will He honor as well. For God, who is love, is rich in mercy upon both the wicked and the righteous; for "the gifts and callings of God are without repentance," and His love respects not persons, but all do reap as they sow. As it is written, "Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense." The wicked who reign in this life, living by the law (whether God’s law or any other), receive the unmerited favor of God’s grace that they may enjoy some glory before they inevitably return unto the darkness, which they have loved, seeing that they have denied the True Light of Christ. For by denying Christ’s rebuke of sin, they call God a liar.
Even as Abraham wept for the separation of Ishmael and Isaac; the LORD decreed that Ishmael would be glorified as well as Isaac because he was the son of Abraham (the friend of God), but the promise would rest upon Isaac, and in him would his seed be called. Likewise those that choose to sin are allotted this season upon the earth either to repent, or to reign in their portion of the inheritance of God’s grace, because they too are the sons of God (in flesh but not in faith, in that they deny the Lord Jesus Christ, who is their birthright unto eternal salvation). To put to shame all manner of accusation against God; whether against the Father, the Son or the elect Church filled with the Holy Spirit (and enjoined unto the eternal trinity of God by the adoption and betrothal through Jesus Christ our Lord, of whom we are called to testify); rather than exercise the letter of the law, in which no flesh could be saved, the LORD in grace judges by the spirit of the law, in mercy, rich upon all, without respect of persons. Eternal glory bestowed upon those true disciples of Christ, who endure with Him in His afflictions and long sufferings against sin in the world; and alas, a temporal glory for those who know not the first resurrection and reverence not the truth of the Word of God, which is Jesus Christ our beloved Lord.
Chapter 3 (Warning to Abide in the Grace and Compassion by Which we Ourselves are Saved)
Let all who call upon the name of the Lord remember the Master’s covenant and obey the commandments given, reverencing Christ’s commandments as much a necessity of salvation as receiving Jesus Christ Himself, who is the Word of God. Forget not the angels before us, fallen from their first estate, trusting well in the grace of God unto salvation but not in honoring the commandments nor the anointed of the LORD (manifested in the rebellion and hardheartedness of the Jews). All such, who live by their own judgments (manifesting the life of Christ under the law), lest they should repent and perform the commandments, are doomed, when all things are reconciled to God in victory, to manifest the glory of Christ’s death; whereas we, the born again of God in mercy and truth, shall manifest the glory of Christ’s resurrection, in that we died unto Him already, even according to our baptism. Blessed be the LORD our God, rich in mercy, "who calls those things which are not, as though they were…to bring to naught those things which are."
Weep and howl for them ("make you a mourning, as for an only son, a most bitter lamentation"), for we do know the manner of tribulation that does await them that do not obey the truth. Beware that you forget not that they bear the anointing and blessing of God, as do you, and any soul that glories in their destruction shall join them in it. For if you, being redeemed unto the likeness of God through the Holy Spirit (given by the prayer and sacrifice of Jesus Christ), can forget to reverence their anointing in the LORD, perhaps He can so easily forget to reverence the anointing upon you. And if you can glory in their destruction as though willingly crucifying the Lord’s Anointed (as they did whom you sport yourselves over), what difference than is there between them and you; fear therefore that the Lord should so glory in your demise.
For the manner of grace that we receive in judgment is defined by our representation of God’s grace before the world. Let us therefore reverence and obey the commandment, "all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets," knowing that in judgment, the grace that we imparted should be returned to us by the hand of God. Forget not your own selves, nor your authority and responsibility as the resurrection of Christ, nor the commands of Jesus Christ to love your neighbor as yourself, and to love freely as the Lord loves you.
Remember also that our beloved Father, the Almighty God, pitied you in the days of your affliction, and that our salvation came about as we likewise pitied our anointed Lord upon the cross: counting even His own life forfeit pertaining to your salvation and resurrection; seizing the opportunity to express His true heart according to the example of Jesus Christ; foreknowing, even willing, His sufferings upon the cross to offer you a token and everlasting signet of His love toward you, which is the cross of Jesus Christ: in sufferings, and yet in glory; in righteousness, yet as sin and accursed; in perfection of the law, and in declaration of mercy; being judged of men, in offering a sacrifice unto salvation from the judgment of God; showing the wickedness of man’s works in God’s eyes (manifesting the broken Word of God, which is sin), and manifesting also the judgment befitting such (for it is written: And your eye shall not pity; but life for life, eye for eye, and tooth for tooth…­
and manifesting God’s works and will toward us in merciful self sacrifice, and thus our example of righteousness and command of obedience, knowing that only Jesus obtained favor from God unto resurrection and ascension.
Dear saints, let us not forget that for all His works of creation and judgment we refused Him, and if not for the manifestation of the Lord’s true person and affection of grace toward us, we surely would perish with this world. Seeing then that God Himself has cast off the pride and glory of His reputation, repenting of the judgments of the law that were set against us, and humbling Himself to the customs of men, being led by the spirit that was then in us, even unto death; what manner of service shall we deny our LORD and Master who has so served us? For what idol or theology of God has declared such things? Or how dramatically beyond our expectation or comprehension is the grace of the one true Living God? Mourn then, for those which are lost, as your Lord wept over you (for did Jesus love Lazarus more than any other man? Or was it written for our sakes?); and fulfill the love that is now in you, even because God denied not those things that you were needful of in your distress.
Chapter 4 (Salvation by Covenant between God and Man; an Example Which Must be Honored by Faith and Works)
Every covenant of God required some action on the part of man. Whether of Adam, Noah, Abraham, or the nation of Israel; every covenant required some service to be rendered, in faith, toward God. Surely, all the more in the everlasting covenant through Jesus Christ; as much as He is more and fulfills more and promises more than all before. For though Jesus Christ fulfilled the promises and covenants between man and God (as no one else could), in doing so, He initiates the covenant of betrothal between Him and yourselves. Jesus is permanently set in the seat of the mediator of this final covenant, through the same offering available to all that faithfully enjoin him in the fulfillment of all things. This is done through our obedience in reciprocating the laws of betrothal through the sacrifice of our bodies to our Husband, paying the same benevolence that we received of God in His sacrifice; whereby we are no longer under the law, but in marriage to He who fulfills the law before God for His household.
Ours is the everlasting covenant commissioned through the last Adam. As at the first, when Eve received the blessing and covenant through Adam (for she was yet within his loins at the time it was spoken unto him), so too, we that are the bride of Christ receive our dominion, and blessing, and promises, and commissions of the covenant through the anointing of the blood of Jesus Christ and the gift of the Holy Spirit that was yet within Him, before God caused the deep sleep to fall upon Him.
Be not deceived, all dominion and power and blessing was appointed unto Him, who was not ashamed to be made like unto us in appearance, so that we, in turn, being covered in the blood of Christ, should appear before God in the righteousness of our beloved Husband ("For both he that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one…"). Whereas Satan may creep in, bearing the appearance of the glory of God, or some false prophet, or the circumcision may try to supplant and rob you of your blessing; know that there is no dominion, or blessing, or glory, or magnitude of love that is not already yours, who abide in Christ. Yea, the LORD withholds no good thing from His Son, and likewise no good thing is withheld those that love Him as the Father loves Him. Think not as the sinners, that God restrains you from glory, but know that nothing could exist but by His grace; for by the law all things remain as they are, (shown true even in the laws of physics, which is why science ever drifts blindly away from the Truth) and "all is vanity."
Nor forget that God is your example of righteousness, imparting to you the fullness of service and complete humility that only God is worthy to bear. Laboring in all things for your benefit, yet not in vain; God has always shown the example of service that he would receive from those that love as He has loved. For He has sown His seeds in faith (through the blessing and gift of freewill); and all things being done unto us, in grace, according to our will, as it was made known unto Him by the revelation of His foreknowledge (in that dominion was awarded before any works of man, whether he would hear or whether he would forbear the commandment of God’s will, that man should fulfill); and humble to our needs, even when we walk contrary to His will (in that He would take upon Himself our just punishment, even the curse of death, that we may know and never doubt, that we bear the fullness of God through His grace).
Chapter 5 (Testimony, Closing Thoughts and Farewell)
In conclusion, I do not presume to add nor take away from the true and perfect Word of God. Yea, I dare not reprove my LORD by claiming some insufficiency or incompletion in the Word of God (which is of the Father and one with Him). I speak in the venting of my spirit, desiring to stir up the unified body of Christ in these last days, bringing into remembrance the righteous commandments of our Lord which you have known already. See to it that these letters are spread throughout the body of Christ, to call the faithful unto action.
For the commandment says, how can we which claim to partake in the love of God close our hearts to the affliction of our neighbors, seeing that we are saved by the LORD’S pity upon our oppressions. "Behold the fields are white." Let us who hold the Word of God in truth, act upon the commands and give heed to the prophecies of our Lord, and watch for Him as He commanded us. Signed, a disciple who would keep the knowledge of God’s grace and the revelation of the gift of God closer in memory than mine own name. Yea, my only pride and glory is to be numbered among the sanctified, who bear the name of God through our righteous Lord Jesus Christ.
Salutations to the churches scattered throughout the world of travail, in these the last days before our beloved Lord returns to reign. Know well, that the Master is ever attentive to your affairs.
