God Bless all who love the unshakable truth of our loving Creator.
                              THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL                                by Dr. Wesley Swift 5-7-61 We are turning this
afternoon to re-evaluate what is meant by the Everlasting Gospel. If you will turn to the book of Revelation,
you will find that this is the only time this has been used as such and this is
in the 6th verse of the 14th chapter of the book of Revelation, when John said,
‘I saw the Angel flying in the midst of the heavens having the Everlasting
Gospel to preach to them that dwell on earth, to every nation and kindred and
tongue and people.’ Now, we know what the
Gospel means. We know that it is ‘glad
tidings of great joy.’ We know that the
word ‘gospel’ is not a message of fear, but a message of Light and Truth. We know that the Everlasting Gospel is a
Gospel that is a continuous Gospel and it runs from generation to
generation. We know that it is a gospel
of Divine intent and a Divine purpose.Â
And we have it continued into another passage which is also
Everlasting. I would have you go back
into the book of Genesis. And in the
17th chapter of Genesis, we read these words:--’As God speaks to Abraham, He
says, ‘I will call you no more Abram, but your name shall be Abraham ‘father of
many nations have I made thee.’ I shall
make nations of thee and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish MY Covenant between
thee and ME, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an Everlasting
Covenant, that I will be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.’ There are no conditions on
this. It is an unconditional Covenant,
an Everlasting Covenant, and an indestructible Covenant. And a Covenant which is made with your race. This is a covenant made with the House of
God in the earth and with the seed of Abraham. Now, I want you to
remember that this is an important declaration, because of all the people in
the earth in which this is made as a personal declaration. It is made to the purest racial line of the
Adamic seed. It was selected and
chosen.  And then selected and chosen
from Isaac to Jacob. Even selected
their wives and children. For this
generation of posterity was to be selected and passed thru to the generations
of your time. I think it most
interesting that when God reiterates that this is a lasting Covenant, that it
is an Everlasting agreement that He will be a God unto this particular seed of
people and to their seed after them.Â
And He wanted to make this clear and He wanted it to be declared. It does not say if you do this, or if you
obey, or if you keep this, or if you don’t I will take it away. This is an Everlasting Covenant. I happened to be
listening, this morning, to the radio and to one of those broadcasts that you
hear especially on Sunday morning, and some earnest and devout minister was very
wrong in what he was declaring. And he
had decided to lay down the whole background or what theology consisted
of. And he spoke for his denomination. And he spoke for those worthy of it. And he spoke of a place where he told
everybody, they had better go to. The
music was playing a very beautiful background and he was trying to talk like
Paul Harvey. He probably was impressed
by Paul Harvey, for he does say some very fine things. Anyway, the man said, ‘There is only one
gospel and you might as well admit that for upon that depends your Eternal
destiny. Whether you spend it in heaven
or in hell, whether you spend it in permanent or in excruciating torture,
depends on whether you accept this gospel.’Â
He said, ‘This gospel is just this simple. God made the earth and He put a man on it and named him
Adam. And then gave him a wife and
everyone on the earth came from him.Â
Adam ate an apple, sinned and was going to hell except for the salvation
of God. And everyone of us descended
from him are all doomed.  Unless we
follow the following blueprint, we are doomed.’ He said, ‘The Bible teaches that there is a heaven or a hell and
you can go to either one you wish, but you cannot come back.’ And he went on to say that here on, the
Bible runs down all the people who did not believe God and one people that did,
and they were called Jews. Then he said
these Jews disobeyed God after He gave them Covenants and promises and unless
they accept Christ, they are going to hell too. He said the world is then divided up into Jews and Gentiles. If you came from Abraham, you are a Jew and
if you didn’t, then you are a Gentile. So Christ came and he died
on the Cross just like He said He was going to do. And it wouldn’t make any difference whether you are a Jew or a
Gentile, just so your say, ‘I believe in Jesus Christ, and if you don’t, you
are going to hell---and that is the sum total of the gospel..---With one
exception---we are now in a world mixed up in Gentile power and tribulation is
coming. And before that, comes Christ
is coming and He is going to take everyone who is a Christian out of the
world. And everyone who has not
accepted, and said the words, is going to stay here. And if they fight the Anti-Christ, they get a second chance. If they don’t, they are going to hell too.’ He did this all in the
Paul Harvey tone of broadcast. If I had
not heard him start I would not have known who was talking. Then he ended up with the fact that the fact
that the dead would be raised and the righteous would behold the earth. That there would be judgements, and then the
evil would be raised and they would get their time of judgements. And from then on, everything else would be
divided up into two categories. And you
would not have to worry about heaven or space, for there was no one out there
except God and His Angels. And on
earth, nobody else out there anywhere.Â
Except for such profound vision the church must be bowing the knee and for
this was the gospel. But that wasn’t
Gospel. That wasn’t even ‘good
news.’ I wish he knew what the Gospel
consisted of. That it is out of the
Eternal God for He has been making things which fill all their capacities to
remember and before that because He had no beginning. His creations did not have a point before His creations existed. Now, God makes new
things. But there is no period of time
when God Almighty has not been creating.Â
There has been no period of time when in the vastness of God’s creation,
when His plans and His purposes reaching back into the eons of yesterday, did
not show the nature of God because God cannot separate His nature, His purposes
and His thinking and His very existence from the things that He makes because,
He is bound to demonstrate that He is the Eternal God. And if you think for one moment, that this
was the Everlasting Gospel, well that is what I can accept as being taught by a
great number of churches. You know that
the Methodist teach it, and the Baptist teach it and the Presbyterians teach it
in certain forms, this same message.Â
The fact remains that there were a certain number of things that were
true, but that is not an Everlasting Gospel. The Everlasting Gospel is
the Gospel that is to be preached to the earth. And it is a Gospel of finality on the part of God, to be preached
in every generation and to be activated.Â
And the message is to be sent until the whole earth is blessed by this
commission, from the Most High and Eternal God. Yes, it is true, that Adam was placed in the earth. But all the people did not come from
Adam. No Bible student who knows about
what it says in the scripture, and knows about men and of people, believes that
everyone came from Adam. In fact, we
know from the artifacts and the signs produced in the last few years, proving
that there were races anti-dating Adam by many thousands of years. And we are also aware the biological law has
been completely invalidated and the teaching of God, that ‘Kind begats like
kind’ and been cast aside. Now you do not have to
believe that to be a Christian you do not have to believe that everyone came
from Adam. You do not have to believe a lie. You can be a Christian and not believe much
of anything, but just believe Jesus. We
have more Christians who are ignorant of it that know or understand their
heritage. Do you know that the happiest
people on the face of the earth would be the people of Christianity. And you or all people would understand it
the most. But you would have no
understanding by present comparison what the Light and Glory on the face of the
children of God would be like if they had what was promised from their
Father. There would be no more fear or
griping about what men are passing thru.Â
For the Apostle Paul said that none of this tribulation you are passing
thru could be compared to that Light and Glory which will be on us throughout
the world. Everytime I hear someone
complain about what they have to go thru, I realize that their prospective is
very small and their horizons have been certainly limited. What God has in store and
what God has planned, is very great.Â
And there are races and there are people and they do not have the same
origin. And they are on different
levels. And they are people who
rebelled and have been under judgement ever since the days when Lucifer
captured their minds as well as the fallen angelic hosts. There are people who thru the process of
mongrelization of races and violations of Divine law, even beings and species,
are just as much a mutation as tho you would go out and cross God’s very
creation. I want you to know that
the violation of the species which God has created, or the mongrelization of
the household which was begotten of God is a violation of Divine Law. And violation of a Divine Law is a
transgression or the little word sin. Now, never become Semantic
afraid. We have today in our battle
against error people who are Semantic depraved. And because in various teachings, religious leaders have tried to
face the problem before them and thought that by the elimination in their
thinking of certain situations that they have eliminated those situations. This is one of the things that Mother Baker
Eddy did in Christian Science. She said
she wanted to eliminate death and everything she did not like. And she said there is no such a thing as
sin, sickness, and death. Â It is an
illusion of the mind. This is not an
attack upon the facts that this woman produced. But clearly the trying to eliminate from your mind the existence
of something does not change the fact that it is still there. I want you to know that just as long as
people are buying lots in cemeteries.Â
And doctors and chiropractors and other phases of healing ministry are
being visited by men. Then there is
some concept that they have of death.Â
And just as long as we have to have police departments and people are
not doing what is right, and laws are violated, even tho you shut your eyes and
say, ‘for me it does not exist,’ still we have sin, sickness, and death. Therefore these are basic problems which
existed on the earth before your race was ever placed here. But in the program of the
Everlasting Gospel, the program of God was sent into the earth to grow and
empower in strength until you are sons of god, the committing power will
deliver the earth from these situations.Â
Did you know that this Everlasting Gospel under God’s power is to
eliminate this--sin, sickness, and death from the entire earth and from every
race and group upon it. Now, in the first place, I
am going to say that the Bible does not teach that everybody is going either to
heaven or hell. Someone said, ‘But one
is for the righteous and one is for the wicked.’ We have concocted a strange group of elements in our theology,
which has come out of the background of all kinds of Priestcraft on the face of
the earth. Do not think for a moment
when we talk about theology, that all Priestcraft is theology. For theology is the science of God and it
comes from the absolute knowledge which you were to KNOW--not to think---but to
know. And science is an absolute body
of correlated facts, not theory or apostasy. And when
we deal with all the rudiments of Priestcraft, who do not necessarily have a
correlation of truth just because it is called religion, nor is it necessarily
a correlation of truth because you can read it out of the Bible. Now, that will shock
someone else. But we have things in
this Bible that have been translated into it.Â
But my God is bigger than the paper and ink and translation, and you
cannot pour my God into a mold like that.Â
As we have mentioned, we were talking awhile ago that it is not
essential that you understand every word in this Book. Every place you find the word ‘hell’ in the
Old Testament, the word is ‘the grave or Sheol.’ The ‘wages of sin was death’ and that was a terrible conclusion
to life---to die. In fact, if God were
to fulfill the promise to your forefathers of redemption, then He also would
die. That is why the 16th Psalm said
that there was no fear in the heart of David for he knew that it was taught in
the Zohar that in the Netherworld, there was a holding place for his spirit, a
place until redemption. And he said,
‘Thou will not leave my soul in Hell, neither shalt thy suffer thy Holy One to
see corruption.’ And the word he used
here was not ‘hell’, but the grave. And
he said, ‘I am not worried about you leaving me in the grave, and I am not
worried about you leaving the Messiah in the grave, because You cannot leave
His body there long enough to see corruption, for the spirit tells me this. The Psalmist said altho
his inner consciousness went into the inner earth, and was bound there in the
powers of Lucifers control, still the Messiah was going to come and storm those
everlasting gates and the King of Glory was going to come in. And His Light and Glory would shine in the
Netherworld and HE would bring him (David) up out of it. And HE did just that. When the Apostle Paul was
writing about these things, he said this would happen and Christ brought His
many sons unto Glory. There was no
question in his mind as to this event.Â
When we mention this, then we again tell you a significant thing about
heaven if you remove hell, that you cannot have one without the other, then I
want to tell you this.  You can have
God without the devil. How do I
know? Because the day is going to come
when the devil will not be a devil anymore and the Archangel Lucifer will be
back in the presence of God and we will have God and Lucifer the Archangel and
no devil. We had a Universe once with
God and no devil. And we are going to
have it again with God and no devil. We
are going to have a Universe with heaven and no hell, also. Someone said, ‘But that is heresy.’ But no,--that is only heresy from
Priestcraft. Because the Apostle Paul
then said, ‘After this thing called heresy, so worship I God.’  And he wrote most all of the Epistles which
are found in the New Testament. Someone said, ‘You will
never get anyone to behave themselves if you take away Hell. But you have never gotten anyone to behave
themselves since you have had it because they have been trying to scare Hell
out of people ever since they started preaching the Gospel. And the world lives like the devil
anyhow. There is only one thing that
makes people behave. There is only one
thing which makes people God-like. And
there is only one factor that contributes to the building of God’s Kingdom, and
that is the Glorious force of God’s own nature. It is as only the Shekinah Glory of God’s Holy Spirit which
transforms or makes anything like unto God.Â
No one ever became God-like because they were afraid. But they might become more devilish because
they were afraid. No one shall ever
climb higher than his concept of Deity.Â
And men generally live like their concept of God, all over the
world. That is why cannibals act like
they do. That is the kind of a devouring
god that they serve, the kind of devils who rule the jungles and the deep
waters, who watch their children offered to the crocodiles and tells them to
eat human flesh. Of course, there is a
vast difference between the superstitions which still exist in Christendom and
the doctrines and errors of the cannibals.Â
But that shows you the difference in people as well. But do not for one moment think that this is
not a great race even with these superstitions, and that this is not the
Everlasting Gospel. But people will
have to be eliminated and will be one of these days. But the people who know truth, they suddenly have and possess
freedom. They walk with Lightness. They walk no longer with fear. There is a vast difference
in the Everlasting Gospel. And these
Gospels, we are told, that are the very words of God Himself. Because the Everlasting Gospel shows a
people with a responsibility which He gave them when He put them in the earth
to do His Will. And they work toward
the Kingdom and they try to apply themselves to make the world a better
place. And the other people who have
this fear complex, and this Gospel, which we heard over the radio this morning,
are just waiting to get out of here.Â
Someone said, ‘But they try to get people to be good so that they can
leave.’ But God took the best that He
had and sent it down here to make this better.Â
Yes, there is an Everlasting Gospel, and in the content of it there are
a number of things that we must remember.Â
God sent your race down, and promised He was going to build His Kingdom
with them. And He promised also, that
He would pay the price for all transgression and error---legally. That He was going to reverse this process
called death. Anything which gets out
of adjustment with how they are put together is eventually dying whether it
knows it or not. Death is a violation
of the principals of biological law and of chemical and the spirit which
sustains life is one of the great secrets of Life itself. Any medical doctor can tell you that. Take out of people that will to live and
that strange spark of material force which keeps them alive, then no doctor can
keep them alive. This is more than
something organic, it is a great life force. One of the things the
scripture promises us is the one of the last enemies that Christ is going to do
is to subdue death. And He is not only
going to subdue death for you, the sons and daughters of God, but He is going
to subdue it for every man. And there
will be no more death when this is over, no more tears, no more sickness, no
more death. Someone said, ‘But that is
only up in heaven.’ No, that is right
here on this earth.’          I would like to call to
your attention that God’s purpose reaches out to everybody even beyond the
instrument of His Kingdom by which He is going to do a lot of things. To the children of God’s Kingdom, to the
race of which you are a part, the race which is Israel, the household of His
Covenant, in this earth, to His people and to the nations that were to
come---not only would He be a God unto them, but they as His children, could
call on Him for God acts, for intervention, for power, for miracle, until in
such an hour in their own consciousness, they could command in the word of God
that Light would go out of them. I listened to---as I have
often done---to this discussion as to only those who were members of the church
were considered a Christians and everybody else was the world. But the World Order is the sum total of all
those whose origin do not begin in Heaven.Â
Everyone of the Adamic race were the children of God, begotten of God’s
spirit, were begotten in the heavens before they were born of the water, the
breaking of the water. I want you to know that
God’s plan of Salvation does not just reach out to those who believe HIM. They also reach out to those who don’t
believe HIM, but someday will. I listen
to this condemnation consigning these people to hell, but Jesus did not condemn
the world. Let me show you
something. In the 12th chapter of John,
in this gospel according to St. John, then Jesus said:--â€I am a light unto
the world. That whosoever believeth in me should not abide in darkness. Now if any man hear My words and
believe not---(now hear this)---‘if any man hear My words and believe
not, I judge him not. I came not to
judge the world, but to save the world.â€Â
Do you think that God Almighty came down here not to judge the world
that He failed? Do you think that
Christ counted His atonement as a failure?Â
Do you think that just because a lot of people have been living in a
vacuum, brainwashed by world propaganda, isolated by situations and have not as
yet come to the knowledge of the truth, that God has failed? Actually, there are people
in the world round about who do not have any capacity to understand the words
that Jesus spoke. Look at the Jews who
were standing round about Him. Do you
think they could understand the Gospel?Â
You say, ‘oh, yes, I do.’ But I
don’t. To them Jesus said:--â€You
cannot‘ hear My words because you cannot understand My speech. You have no spiritual capacity, or wave
length in your background to understand what I am saying. Thus you cannot understand what I say
because you can’t hear what I say. Oh,
you may think that you hear those words, but you have no capacity to set those
words up in your thinking.â€Â  And HE
said:--â€Ye are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father ye will
do. You think like him and you
can’t like the children of the Kingdom.†Now, there is not doubt
that Jesus identified them because of their destiny and for what they were
doing. There were people of the World
Order from pagan nations from Asia and from Africa. They were under the control of witch doctors and devils, and under
control of Ecclesiastical hierarchies of superstition. And some will say that Jesus just came down
and condemned that. The whole world is
condemned under error and condemned violations of principles that bring it
death. But Jesus did not say that He
came to condemn the world. He said:--â€I
came to save the world.†Now someone says, ‘You
mean there is salvation for the entire world?’Â
Yes, there is salvation for the world from one end to the other. For not only shall all flesh be saved, but
as I have read unto you in the book of Isaiah, it says:--â€Look unto Me all ye
from the ends of the earth and be saved.â€Â
‘I am God and I am going to do this.’Â
“For unto Me every knee is going to bow and every tongue is going to
proclaim.†I met a clergyman who
said, ‘I would like to believe that.’ I
asked him, ‘Why would you like to believe that? And he replied, ‘Well, it would be such ‘good news.’ And I said, ‘You would just like to believe
that God was that good, is that what you are trying to tell me?’ He said, ‘Well, I don’t know who to frame
it, but I would like to believe that.Â
But I know that there are a lot of people who are dead and they went to
hell, so they don’t have a chance.’Â
(You see, he is still in that groove.)Â
He said, ‘Every knee is not going to bow, because they are already
gone.’ So I said, ‘I have some good
news for you. For where their spirit
resides, they have consciousness and I am going to show you what the scripture
says.’ Over here in the content of
God’s Covenant, (over here in the second chapter of Philippians)--let us
incorporate these verses in our thinking. (10th verse, chapter 2)---“At the
name of YAHSHUA-YAHWEH, every knee shall bow of things in heaven, of things in
earth, and things under the earth (or in the Netherworld).†Now, where else do you
know to go? So I said, ‘You don’t have
to worry about whether that fellow is going to get a chance after he is dead,
where could the consciousness of that man go that the Father (Creator) could
not find him? He said that everyone in
those dimensions including your theological ‘hell’ is going to get down, and
praise the LORD and get happy about it.’Â
He said, ‘That beats what I am preaching.’ And I said, ‘Well, if that is what you are preaching, then it
isn’t much.’ For when you start
preaching the Grace of God and the fear of God, you are going to see the results
of it, instead of some imaginary Priestcraft you will see the results of
it. There is nothing greater than the
Grace of our Father, His righteousness, His Glory, His majesty. There is no greater glory that radiated form
the countenance of any individual than came forth off of the face of
Jesus. So great was that---that the
Apostle Paul and others looked back upon it and waited. Waited to see that same Glory formed on them
that they saw on His face. And they
knew that was coming to them. Do you know
that to each and everyone of you, will come this same effulgence, the same
light, the same abilities and powers that were carried by Christ? That you have the elements of it with you
waiting for the development of it at the climax of this age thru which you are
passing? That is your destiny. Now, listen. Therefore I read the words, and here in
Philippians it says, every knee in the heavens, on earth, and down under the
earth,--everyone of them, is going to bow.Â
That is why we say that this is a Gospel that reaches out to all
people. Do you know why all the earth
is blessed like you of Israel? Because
no one else has a Gospel like this. You
go out and look at the religions of the world and what have they got? Oh, all of them have something to torture
you with, if they don’t get what they want.Â
All of them have Utopias or banners of some kind in the presence of
their many deities and idols. They all
have an exclusive society and everything outside of that order is left
out. But you are the people who your
enemies, afraid of the power of your Gospel, say are the ‘hate mongers.’ Whereas you have a Gospel that brings hope
and light to everyone. Even the powers
that you fight today. Knowing that you
must do this today to bring law and order into the reality, you are not saded,
you do not want to torture anybody. You
just want to smash their evil. You just
want law and order to come in. If you
have to force this, if that is the crucible, you will do it. But listen.Â
If you think they slipped up over here in Philippians in the second
chapter, when they said ‘every knee’ and where they said where this would
occur, all you have to do is turn over to the book of Revelation and it says,
‘I heard all of them singing with a loud voice.’ And it says, YAHSHUA is to receive the power, the riches, and the
strength, the honor, the glory and the blessing for EVERY CREATURE THAT IS IN
THE HEAVENS, AND IN THE EARTH AND DOWN UNDER THE EARTH, AND SUCH AS ARE IN THE
SEA, ALL OF THEM in those places, heard the voices singing, ‘BLESSINGS AND
GLORY AND POWER, BE IT TO HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE FOREVER AND FOREVER.’ Now, turn over here to the
21st chapter of Revelation, and in this 5th verse, ‘I BEHELD YAHWEH WHO SAT
UPON THE THRONE, and He is the one that you know as Jesus the Christ,--or the
man Christ Jesus--, one and the same, and it says that He sits upon the throne
and the words that come out of the very fullness of His Divine nature, we
read:--“Behold, I make all things new.â€Â
No wonder they are singing His praises. ‘Behold I make all things new.’Â
He did not say, just some things, He said ALL things new. “I bring My reward with Me to give every man
as his work shall be.â€Â Not as it has
been, but as it shall be. This is the
Grace of God. You say, ‘what shall that
be?’ Well, it will be what God has
purposed it to be because that is His reward for what he has been doing. We turn within the
structure of these words again and think about this mystery that has been
hidden in the ages past and is now being revealed in His offspring---His
Saints---as we are told in the first chapter of Colossians, in the 26th
verse. “To whom God made known what is
the riches of His Glory, this mighty and majestic mystery among the nations, it
is the Christ in you that is the Hope of Glory.’ And it tells us that there is not one principality or power that
He will not make an open show of and triumph over. And once He has triumphed over it and subdued it, He is going to
make it reconciled unto Himself. He is
going to make it acknowledge and put it in orbit in Him. That is what is takes to be God. Anything less, would not be God, just some
kind of theology someone made up which, my friends, is not good enough. It has to be ultimate, absolute, and
perfect. If you did not have a God like
that, you could not be sure He would keep His word and follow the path of His
prophecy. I want you to turn to the
book of Timothy. For we discover here,
that in the sight of YAHWEH, our Savior, that He is going to have all men to be
saved and come unto the knowledge of the truth. You say, ‘But it doesn’t say that in my Bible.’  Well, then you better go home and read
it. For He will have all men to be
saved, and come to the knowledge of all truth.Â
And now they say, ‘But all men will not come.’ Let me tell you something.Â
God will get His way, or He will keep pushing the hornets out and see
that they move, or He will pour out the situations around them until eventually
they will do exactly what He wants. We
used to sing a song, ‘God will not make men go against their will, He will just
make them willing to go.’ Let me tell you
something. ‘Who hath resisted His
will?’ He can pour in spiritual
awareness until everything will bring in the transition that He desires. Thus we read in this 4th chapter of 1st
Timothy:--‘Therefore, we labor and we suffer reproach for we fought with the
Living God who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who
believe.’ Hold that scripture up to
your theology and see if that is the scripture which you were taught. He is not only the Savior of all men, but
especially of all men who believe. But
He is going to save people that don’t even believe. Then the whole fundamental principal of theology that throws men
into perdition, is because they did not walk down and say a few lines. You say, ‘Do you think
that every man is going to be saved even tho they do not believe?’ Well, I don’t think any man knows what
salvation is until he believes. Because
he now believes on the power that will change the world, the power that
transforms men, the power that makes new life, and makes new creatures out of
the world order round about. God does
not have to change your spirit one bit, that was begotten of Him and is one of
His offspring in the beginning. The
only thing He has to do is restore you.Â
He does not have to make you all new.Â
He just has to restore you again.Â
That is why to the Christian, it is the restoration, the renewing of the
mind. The transformation of the
individual is a restoration, a redoing, a regeneration. When men are regenerated, they are recharged
with the Life of God. But when you deal
with the world order which was created, you have to make new creatures out of
them. But then as far as the patterns
of behavior is concerned, then God Almighty said, ‘I am going to make all
things new.’ We turn then in the realm
of thinking to what is the program. As
we talked to you last week, we told you that in Matthew as well as in the book
of Luke, we told you where John the Baptist talks about the approaching
Christ. Where he says the latches on
His shoes, I am not worthy to unloose.Â
But He as He approaches, will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with
fire---which is the word for Shekinah, light and Glory. We told you that if you went to the Strongs
Concordance, and went down in the middle of the page, and you looked up the
word fire, used in Revelation, for the lake of fire, you will discover that all
of the wicked and all of the world order which have as yet not conformed to
Divine Order, will be raised in a second resurrection and will be thrown into a
kind of Shekinah glory of God. And it
will work a purifying factor upon them, until they will be ready to bow the
knee and recognize HIM as GOD. Oh, you say, ‘But the
scripture says, ‘lake of fire.’ Well,
then if it does the thing you are going to be baptized with is the ‘lake of
fire.’ Because the scripture makes it
very clear and so does the Concordance, that some translator tried to put a
little Roman Priestcraft in here. If
you don’t think that things will be changed with His Light and His Glory, let
me tell you that when you move into the new order, in the administrating orders
of God’s Kingdom, it tells you that the very light and glory will move
off of the people who are the children of God’s Kingdom. It tells us about the fact that this Glory
of God will be so bright that we will not need the light of the sun or the moon
in the cities of God’s Kingdom. For the
Glory of God shall light it. Someone said, ‘But that
will not be a torment.’ Let me tell you
that there is nothing which will torment evil like the Glory of God. There is nothing that will eliminate from
America all these rascals we would like to see go, like suddenly seeing the
Divine Glory, from the face of Christ, and His words on your lips. The greatest exodus that ever went out of
this nation would take place when the children of God in this nation all start
to praise the name of God in this nation--together. Do you know what would happen?Â
The people who hate your faith and your God, the scripture tells us that
even now, they would hike in the rocks, in the mountains and in the caves and
cry for the rocks to hide them, and do this just from His presence as He
approached. That is just how different
the concepts of their minds and of their evil are compared to His
Righteousness. I just want you to think
for a moment. For I can tell you a
little bit about what the world is going to be like in this period maybe only a
decade away. I turn to the book of
Isaiah where God talks about you and it says:--’And the LORD shall create upon
every dwelling place, upon Mount Zion, and upon all her assembly, a Shekinah
Cloud. And this shall be like an
illumination, an effulgent light by day, and it shall be like an effulgent fire
by night. And it shall be upon all as a
radiant glory, and it shall be as a defense against everything.’ Someone said, ‘what we
have to do is to find a way to inoculate everyone against this germ warfare
which is just ahead.’ Let me tell you
something. Here is a little notice from
God.--’I can put My Shekinah Glory over your houses. I can strengthen its reaction, I can cause it to shine forth from
you and this will destroy every disease germ.Â
It will be your defense, for nothing can get thru it.’ He said, ‘This will be My deliverance upon
every dwelling. And I will create upon
every dwelling place and upon every assembly, this cloud of Glory which hovers
over. Every house will have it.’ Just think of that. You can go down the street and know who is
who then. You can go down the street
than and know who is in that house and who is not, for there will be a light
over the house of God, over the dwelling place of God’s children. Someone said, ‘What should we do with the
rest of the people?’ Well, we ought to
deport the rest. Now, I am going to go a
little further in the book of Isaiah, in the 48th chapter, when God says, ‘In
that day the Glory of YAHWEH shall be revealed. And all flesh shall see it together. For the mouth of YAHWEH hath spoken. The Glory of God is going to be revealed that day, and you can
comfort one another, and comfort My people saith YAHWEH.’ You can speak comfortably to the real
Jerusalem. Not this pagan group down in
Palestine. You can tell the people that
their iniquity is not only pardoned, but the voice of Him that crieth said,
‘Prepare ye the way of the LORD,’ to make the way straight and the desert a
highway for our God. Every valley shall
be exalted. Every mountain and hill
shall be lowered. And the crooked shall
be made straight. -----The Glory of
YAHWEH shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of
YAHWEH hath spoken it. Let us now turn to the 6th
chapter of Isaiah:--’Arise and shine, for thy light has come and the Glory of
YAHWEH hath risen upon thee. Behold
darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people. But YAHWEH shall rise upon thee and shall be
seen upon thee. And the pagans shall
come to thy light, and the kings shall come to thy lighting, and to the
effulgent Glory which shall go forth from you.Â
Lift up thine eyes and see round about how they gather themselves
together, and they come to thee.’ I think it is time for us
to realize that when God says that it will not be necessary for the sun to be a
light for the day, neither for brightness, nor shall the moon give light, for
YAHWEH thy God shall be ‘for thee an Everlasting light and thy Glory.’ And going further, it says that ‘My people
shall be all righteous and shall inherit the land forever and forever. For this is the branch of My planting and
the work of My hands that I may be Glorified.’Â
I can turn over in passage after passage in Isaiah, and passage and
passage in Jeremiah, and I can show you that God intends to make out of you a
transforming power, that is going to bring light, and Grace and Hope to the
ends of the earth. Then along comes
someone and says, ‘But, Dr. Swift, we have Communism threatening the world, we
have great troubles threatening God’s people.Â
At the present time we are building weapons and having to prepare for
war. What do we do about it?’ It is your job to smash the powers of
tyranny and set the world free. That is
a part of the work of God’s Kingdom. A young man came and he
said, ‘Dr. Swift, I am a Nazarene, and I am about to be inducted into the
army. But I can’t go out and fight and
try to kill anybody.’ He said, ‘I am a
conscientious objector.’ I said, ‘What
church do you go to?’ I thought he was
going to tell me that he was a Quaker.Â
He said, ‘I go to the Nazarene church.’Â
I asked him, ‘Does your pastor teach that?’ And he replied, ‘Yes, he teaches that.’ And then I asked, ‘then you don’t think that you could battle in
an army that is battling tyranny and evil and the anti-Christ?’ ‘No’, was the answer, ‘for I would not want
to be responsible for the doom of a soul.Â
I would not want to sent a soul to perdition.’ I said, ‘You are not responsible for his soul, and every times
you knock a Communist off the fact of the earth, you set some woman and child
free. When you help liberate people free from Communism, you have broken one
more straw in the yoke of Lucifer.’ He
said, ‘I just cannot do that because that was what I was taught.’ I said, ‘The reason why I wanted to know
what church you go to is because now they are trying to make the church more
righteous than Christ.’ I said, ‘You
know with more Glory and more light on the face of Christ, and more hope and
more expectancy in a glorious Gospel which Christ teaches, that spiritual
powers and spiritual plains, and the strength out of it that comes into earth,
nobody knew what was in men’s heads than did God, and Jesus was the embodiment
of God. He could look up a tree and see
a tax collector which had wrongfully taxed everybody, and He would say ‘come on
down and I will have lunch with you.’Â
And then before lunch was over, he had given all the money back. There was not anyone He did not know, even
Nathaniel who sat under a fig tree. He
knew everyone of you before you were born here in earth, and He knew you in the
spirit when you were begotten, when He put your names down in the Lamb’s Book
of Life. He knew all of these things
and without any doubt, Jesus knew that the way to handle the evil was to raise
a great army and go out here and eliminate it.Â
Because it was not going to be done by a revival. He said He would head the armies of heaven
and move against this, and He would thrust in His own cycle with a gracious
judgement against them until the blood was up to the horses bits in some places
saving the earth from the tyrants. To this young man I said,
‘Now you go home and go to sleep, for not one of the souls of these individuals
who have been suddenly swept from these hoards of destruction, and their
bodies, are beyond the ability of God to reach them and subdue them in their
proper order.  We have talked to about
the Elementals, the powers that mold Universes, and I want you to know that all
the forces of energy combined are moving upon the earth today. The hoards of Africa and Asia are being
moved by evil thoughts. They have
millions and millions of people who are not in their armies but still their
armies are large and they have the voice of many people. Great numbers of these are going to be swept
away in a great cataclysm of destruction because they have sought to destroy
God’s Kingdom. And it will be made
known for all times that IT CANNOT BE DONE. When God put you in that
physical body, He intended that you in that physical body live with power. He intended for you with your spiritual
force to do the work of the Kingdom. He
expected you to also to defend that Kingdom and to bind the darkness. We have a great page in history before
us. And the Bible tells us what is
coming to pass with great speed. We
will rise up and will defeat the powers of darkness with Divine
assistance. And there will not be any
guilt in the consciousness of anyone because they destroyed evil. And we will not have driven anyone beyond
the Grace of God. And we will not have
destroyed anyone in an everlasting, continuous and eternal doom. And when it is over, and every knee has been
brought to bow in earth, the great forces which are at work will start reaching
into every avenue of existence. You
have that in your nature now. You have
already conquered countries and then turned around and bound up their wounds
and started to reconstruct and rehabilitate.Â
And you have not put the glory on so people can see it either. For one moment the Glory of you, His people,
will outshine the glory of your Father.Â
Probably the most intense message which was ever preached was the
message the disciple Peter preached. He
did this the very hour after he had been struck with the vibratory impact of
God’s Holy Spirit. So great was the
impact of that moment, this power of God’s Spirit, that Peter reeled under that
impact, and spoke under the complete experience of it. And he talked about YAHSHUA the Incarnate
deity, and the man Christ Jesus whom the heavens must receive UNTO THE TIME OF
THE RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS. WHICH
GOD HATH SPOKEN BY THE MOUTH OF HIS HOLY PROPHETS SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN. Now, if any man was
speaking after receiving this power it was Peter. When you talk about the restitution of all things, from God who
is the Savior of all men. From God who
would save all the world. A God who was
not willing that any would not accomplish this, for He will not stop until He
has made all things new. Now, you just stop and
think about this. God is going to save
all men. A God who is going to use His
people Israel, the apple of His eye, His treasure in the earth to accomplish
His purpose and to build His Kingdom.Â
God who is going to accomplish all these things and reach out to
everybody, who is going to reach every kindred and every nation, and every
tongue. Kindred are His own people, but
there are other creatures in the world beside that. Â There are other nations besides that. Now, you just stop and
think. God said all men, all creatures,
all the world.---There is not much room anymore for this doubt in your
mind. You can’t sit at home anymore and
say that there are some who are out there and are going to get by the
Omniscience, Omnipotence of God. I am
going to tell you something. The devil
is not clever enough. There is not an
individual in the Universe who is clever enough, or know how, or could find a
place where God could not finish His purpose.Â
How many men do you know who want to be tortured forever and
forever? How many men do you know who
wants any part of this? How many men do
you know who do not want to see God’s Grace, and see Him accomplish His
purpose. When you get down to it there
are a lot of people too superstitious to admit it but they really don’t want
it. Now, I tell you this
afternoon, that you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you
free. There are powers, lots of powers,
left for God’s Kingdom, unprecedented powers, that carry life and vitality,
knowledge, perception, prophetic understanding, lifted by His spirit,
manifestations of His spirit. And when
you hear of a church with all manifestations o fit, don’t you believe it. The day you see all these manifestations,
with Divine sons going forth to change the whole world, then you will see---a
short work of righteousness accomplished.Â
The moment they come to the knowledge of all wisdom, the first thing that
they will drop is their theology. That
is the first thing they are going to drop when they receive ALL WISDOM. I am going to tell you
this. When you know the truth of God,
you can go to sleep every night and get up every morning without fear. When you go to bed with praise, and get up
with praise, and you can greet the enemy even if it poses a danger to your
life, and you can go out and oppose the darkness, and you have no question
about the outcome, then you are going to see the mighty forces, the checks and
balances, the mighty forces which wake men up, again the elementals, the earth
and the fire, the water and the air.Â
You can say if the tornadoes sweep the earth, and the earth rocks, or it
is bathed with fire, and the floods move, you can say, ‘Altho it slay me, I
trust Him.’ For you are trusting
something so big, so great, that there is nothing going to be able to destroy
it. Thus, we tell you this
afternoon, that this is an Everlasting Gospel that goes into the plains of
spirit and it works down here on earth.Â
It goes down into the Nethermost chambers. And the day is going to come when Lucifer will learn his
Catechism. (End of message)
