               CONQUEST OF THE
LAST ENEMY Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
By   Dr. Wesley A. Swift          8-10-62 Before we go into our
subject of the ‘Conquest of the last enemy,’ we think we should mention a few
incidents that have been taking place in our time. It makes it very clear that we are approaching that point, and I
think we would point out several situations which we want to go out on these
tapes to all over the United States so that the people will be informed of the
various circumstances which carry within them a very serious consequence. As we discuss this factor, it only goes to
show you that the design of the forces of darkness is an anti-Christ and makes
up the Beast system which we find in the 13th chapter of Revelation which says
that no man can buy or sell unless he has the ‘mark of the beast’ (the
world)---except he did it with their permission, and the domination over their
economy and eventually a domination over all government if they could attain
it. We realize that there is a
difference between the program of the enemy and the design which we see ruling
the entire world and then ruling the Kingdom of God. Always keep this in mind
when viewing prophecy, and do not let someone cast upon you a defeatist complex
that the anti-Christ is going to rule the whole world. This is true, but he is not going to rule
all of the people in it. And he is not
going to rule the Kingdom of God.Â
Never. He may have partial
victories over areas of it but the Kingdom of God, an Eternal institution, will
never be conquered by the anti-Christ or destroyed by his conspiracy. The church which is the spiritual center of
God’s Kingdom, is also Eternal. It will
never be broken, subordinated, or smashed.Â
It will endure a savoring force in God’s nations forever. But when we speak about the design of World
government, one of their master designs of conspiracy emerges from the fact
that they want to merge all of the races of the earth under their control. Taking away the sovereignty of nations and Divine
Law. And having us join ourselves to
pagans and enemies in direct violation to the instructions of God whereas we
were not to be yoked together or joined with them. We as a race, have been called to be separated and segregated
from these destructive forces.Â
Therefore, their strategy is in violent opposition to these
situations. From one end of the
scripture to the other in both Old and New Testaments, it is a Divine instruction
that the Kingdom of God remain strong.Â
That it prepare to defend itself, that it build up its defenses. There is always a condemnation resting upon
leadership that do not fill the breach in the wall and do not make the
fortification strong. Or seek to weaken
the armaments of God’s people. There is
nothing Biblical to support pacificism, or any type of disarmament as a
solution in meeting the problems which are created by the forces of evil in the
world. The Kingdom of God is joined
with righteousness and peace, and in association and relationship with one
another. The laws of the Kingdom as it
applies to the children of the MOST HIGH gives it a status that is even beyond
the ability of an individual to comply with when he deals with the powers of
darkness outside of the Kingdom. But
the design is always the same. The enemies
of our Faith would like to disarm us.Â
They have worked on this for some time.Â
Thus we have one of the strangest situations of all time. For surrounding the President of these
United States, in an unusual number, the majority of the advisors are non-Christian
and socialistic and Jewish. This should
never have happened in a great Christian nation. Never been permitted.Â
This has been an inherited condition in part for many of them had
influence. But now they weigh
unprecedented influence. Most of them
are Harvard professors from a Socialist revolution. And this is of course, always a dangerous situation.                One of these who has had great influence is Dr.
Rostov, who is one of our representatives in the United Nations, under the
State Department for major disarmament.Â
In fact one of the most treasonous pieces of literature of all
times, was published by the State
Department last year and is known as the State Department Document 727. And I hold in my hands one of the original
copies published by the State Department.Â
And in this, it calls for the eventual disarmament of the United
States. It calls for the U.S.
disarmament---general and complete for a place in a peaceful world. However, it moves and under strange
procedure is pushing this disarmament before the world is peaceful and in this
instance, this disarmament would surrender all of the military control over all
of our Army, Navy, and Air Force, and place all of our equipment in the hands
of the United Nations. Then call upon
all citizens to surrender all of their weapons so that there could never be any
area of revolution or opposition to what would be the dictatorial power of the
United Nations. And we would be at the
mercy of whatever power they wished by
the United Nations. We are aware this
afternoon, that anti-Christianity against the Kingdom of God dominates the
United Nations. We are aware that the
U.N. is made up of five-sixths of its people being enemies of Christianity,
which are pagans of every pagan religion, together with the great Communist
hoards that influence these areas of earth.Â
Thus this is a serious charge and the State Department prepared a
volume, and it is a volume of treason for our nation. But I want to turn now to
tell you something rather amazing. We
have mentioned this before, but I am going to read you some facts concerning
some bills and point out something significant. For from August 1, 1962, you the citizens of the U.S. did not
have an Army, Navy or an Air Force. Oh,
you say, ‘But we used them.’ Yes, we
have been using them, but they actually belong to the United Nations. And we propose to see that everyone in these
United States finds this out. And this
is why we are including it in this sermon for I think that is the only way we
will get it back. Now, this startling
statement that we must made, is tied to the fact that from certain
Congressional Bills, the legal ownership of our military was signed over to the
United Nations by President Kennedy in ‘Public Law 87287. And in this law, in this Bill, the President signed over all of our Army, Navy,
and Air Force and all equipment to the control of the United Nations. Technically, Mr. Uthant could use this
technically and legally. Now, whether we as a
nation will stand for this, is doubtful. Â
For never should we bow to the rule of maniacs. I want to cite to you that the Senate Bill
was 2180, entitled the Arms Control and Disarmament Act. It was passed by the Senate and approved by
the House Bill 9118 and signed into Public Law under the number 87287. And this was the Administrations plan
purposed at Geneva tied up in this blue book of treason to surrender our
military over to the United Nations.Â
The Department of State outlined part of this in the report outlined by
the Jew, Rustov, who is also a Socialist and an Internationalist. You say, ‘But how could
our Congress do this?’ Well, there are
some strange processes there. As we pay
these men to be there and vote for us and to handle our legislative matters. And then we place so much committee work on
them that in this same amount of time, that they are supposed to be there
voting for us, they are also supposed to be in that committee. And while they are supposed to be listening
to every discussion and all that is taking place, they are still in
committee. And when we want them to
come in and vote, we ring a bell like we used to do at recess time in school,
and everyone lifts up their head, saying, oh, they are going to vote on
something but they don’t know what they are going to vote on, so they don’t
rush in to vote. So they place such
Bills as this, on the agenda and maybe there is no discussion and the wrong
people are to the only ones who know what the vote is all about, and they are
present. So having a majority of
liberals present, then they pass this Bill and then send it to the President
and he on the advise of his advisors, signed it. Thus a law by this process is officially created and you have
lost your Army, Navy and Air Force. The significant thing is
that we have discovered that this was consummated only in the last ten
days. In that period of time, we have
contacted military authorities and to their surprise, they could not believe
this. But they took down the notes and
the facts. Now, you say, ‘But why
wasn’t there some publicity about all of this?’ Well, I will tell you.Â
Because the President said that the publicity of this passing must be
postponed until the public acceptance is more favorable to this move. I say that when the President and the
Congress does something so deceptive as this, then we ought to change it. Someone said, ‘But this
has no relationship to the Kingdom and the Church.’ Then let me tell you that it does, for this is a type of
conspiracy and helps the anti-Christ build his world government and seeks to
take away the strength of the great nations of God’s Kingdom. But we know we are going to win, for God
will bring these things to the attention of HIS people. And they will say something about every one
of these conspiracies, and they will act upon it and things are going to be
changed. Someone said, ‘Well then, why
did not God change it?’ Well, this is a
part of the process of change. We are
to see that things change and we are   Â
going to let Americans see what is going on, and we will not submit. Now, the President can at
this moment move to order the commanders of the Army, Navy and Air Force to
surrender their command to the full force of the direction of the United
Nations at once. And the military officers
of the United Nations will take over. Â Now, under State Department Document 4228,---and this goes way
back to August 2, 1947, when Algers Hiss was acting as United Nations council
and the Soviet representative was Gromyko in the United Nations Security Council
and this affidavit no. 4428---was signed that the military of the United
Nations would always be in the hands of a Soviet Military Officer. Now, I also want to call
to your attention, that at the present time, the United Nations Police Force is
also under the control of a Russian officer.Â
He is in charge of all military operations, of all that goes on in
Katanga Province. And under Uthant, he
is the military head of all of this.Â
And if he is ever replaced, he will be replaced by another Soviet
officer selected by the Soviets. Thus at
this time, Mr. Kennedy could at any time surrender all of our military over
into the hands of a Russian General, because we have already done the paperwork
and it already has been signed away and really belongs to the U.N. today. Now, I can tell you something
else. No officer of the United States
Military ever took an oath of office to defend the World Government, or to
serve as its officer. There is legally
no way to make any officer take such an order and turn himself over to such an
evil command. I can also tell you
this. Our State Department turned over
to the Red Chinese, (who are down in Mexico training an army, for just one
possible reason,) and they turned over equipment to equip this army of Red
Chinese soldiers---training, as we said, down in Mexico. That, my friends, is just across your border
from San Diego, which is the most undefended border in the world. And we have just had a showdown with Mexico
as to what these Red Chinese are doing inside of Mexico. When they had this hearing about General
Walker, this was brought out. And they
said, ‘can you prove this?’ But General
Walker said, ‘I have not seen them but I have friends that tell me that they
are there.’ So they laughed at
him. But don’t worry about General
Walker, for you will never get a jury in Mississippi to convict him, just for
the pleasure of that ‘funny bunch’ in Washington. (More current
events----1962) Now, I want to cite one
more thing. I mentioned to you a week
ago how Rabbi Gundwald from Germany, headquarters in Hamburg, spoke in this
country to the United Orthodox Congregations of Jewry, here in the U. S., to
tell them about the status of the Jew in Europe, and to say that there had been
a big decline in Jews in Europe and especially in Germany since the war. And he cites that there were only 500,000
Jews in Germany before Hitler. And
there is only 25,000 of them in Germany
today, altho there had been 100,000 of them in Germany right after the
war. He said of this 25,000 that 90% of
them are old people and that the young people are not reproducing. What I wanted to call your attention to is
that the fact that there is a great propaganda call on T.V. and radio of a
great massacre of Jews, telling us that three million of them were killed in
Germany and that three million of them were killed all over Europe. They were trying to justify the killing of
Germans in America to offset the killing of Jews in Germany. Of course, this is simply propaganda to
divide Christian nations so that they will be more amiable to Socialism and
world Communism. This is simply a
Jewish conspiracy. But I point out to
you that they made a statement here when talking to themselves and they did not
expect the rest of the press to catch.Â
But the papers said that it was not admitted that there were only
500,000 Jews in Germany before the war, so they could not have put three
million in the gas chambers. But I tell
you that those three million Jews are all over the United States anyhow. But even in the face of
this, they come into California and try to put pressure on the schools so that
nothing related to the Christ will be in the Christmas celebrations. But we have a new Superintendent of Schools
in California and he says that we will have an open recognition of Christmas
this year. There will be no restraint
put on the motive as to why we celebrate Christmas. As we meditated on this situation, we thought of the words of
Jesus, that they are the children of their father and they will be like him. These events tell us that
we are moving into climactic hours.Â
That the clock of time as it relates to the Kingdom of God and the
powers of darkness, is ticking away the hours before the final decision. Armageddon is not only close, but it is an
historic point. It is the New Day in
your history when you actually do lock horns with the enemy for a victory you
will attain because we have the whole story.Â
And the end of the story before the beginning of the battle. I want you to realize more and more that we
are getting close to this with the forming of the World Government, the
restrictions and the restraint. And now
the censorship which moves out in a free country where one of our heritages is
the freedom of speech and a free press is inherent. And they now tell us that the President can censor the press and
suppress the things which the government is trying to do from the people. And the Press is squirming under this, but
they are to a degree obeying. Thus these are some of the
things that makes this a period of perilous times and you are watching these
developments as things take place. This
is a struggle which will reach its peak and then reach its breaking point. Now, as we approach the
climax of these events there is a solution today which exists deep in the soul
of a Bible believer who understands and knows where he stands. He also knows that we are standing very
close to the most important transitions in all times, as it relates to the
dwellers of earth since Lucifer’s rebellion.Â
We are coming to the most important period of our own existence in the
earth and in the society. We are
watching the discoveries of medical science which support some of the old and
Biblical truths. Some of which have
been overlooked and have never been discussed to any great degree. If you thru in the scriptures
for instance into the writings of the Apostle Paul writing in the first
Corinthians, 15th chapter, which tells us concerning these things. ---That by man came death, and that by man
also came life and the resurrection of the dead. While writing on the subject of death and the things which relate
to it, is that the LAST ENEMY TO BE DESTROYED IS DEATH. And by destroying this last enemy which is
Death, it has already been accomplished and obtained legally by this victory
which was wrought by Christ in the power of HIS Resurrection. But the last enemy to be put down is death. Now, it is a significant
thing that we are developed within the sphere of mental inheritance of the
mental reactions of our race, which we have inherited along with its mighty visions
and its traditions. We also know today, that ‘as a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he.’ Which
is very, very true, that your existence is already made up of what is in your
heart and what you remember. Modern
divisions of the areas of thought are what a man believes and what a man thinks
and what a man experiences, builds up the center of his being. But he has as tho it were classified on both
sides of this consciousness, some things that he hears, but he does not
believe, because to him they are error.Â
On the other side of his thinking, he has another side of stored up
thought. And these are the patterns of
thought that come from his enemy. And
of course are the things that he is against completely and absolutely. Then there is another pattern of thought
that is above his pattern of thought and his understanding. It may be included in the mass that makes up
the consciousness of you, and it is ascent to higher spiritual operations that
we have yet obtained. In this area of
thought, we divide up the fact that you make this central mass of you---for you
have ‘stored up’ the facts that you do believe, and you have also stored up the
facts of the operations of your enemies which you repudiate. And you have the great consciousness of the
things which you accept. And what you
have read and what you have heard and what you have been influenced by spirit
received, makes up the mass of the consciousness that is you. So you, this physical
being with your physical body to dwell in, with your Celestial light body in
which you have your Celestial being, and with the great consciousness of the
soul, is of course, the you that thinks and dwells and speaks, made up of all
that is recorded and all of the processes of the thinking operation. So within this area you discover that there
are certain vital things that you have inherited. And one of these things which you have inherited is all of the
things which you know about death. You
not only inherited that, but you have inherited certain expectancies, certain
patterns of it. And therefore, the
Apostle Paul tells you something rather significant concerning this situation,
because he outlines for you over here in Philippians, these words.---that we
carry the sentence of death in ourselves.Â
This is what the Apostle Paul said in Philippians---that ‘We carry the
sentence of death in ourselves.’ Now, the reason for
this---by the Apostle Paul, is an awareness that he received. And it comes out of the Apocalypse of Paul
when he records the things he learned and was taught of God during his
Celestial experience, when he war brought into the presence of God and then
later wrote:--’Whether in the spirit or in the body, I cannot tell. God knows.’Â
This is carried into the book of Philippians from his Apocalypse of Paul. And is to be found in the writings of the
Apostle Paul--and he says that we carry the sentence of death with ourselves.
Never has it been so important as now for us to understand this. Everybody on the face of the earth is
interested in living. And everybody is
very much concerned about death. And
because of this, the fear of death is one of the most dangerous of fears that
people carry and it has the most disastrous impact upon them, than almost any
other pattern of thought in which they are engaged. Now, the Apostle Paul
writes concerning the things of death, and he tells us very clearly concerning
these matters in one discussion in the book of Corinthians, that by man came
death. And that therefore by man came
the resurrection of the dead. For in Adam
all die and in Christ shall all be made alive.Â
The things which he discusses is most important because the Apostle Paul
knew a lot more about it and he comprehended a lot more than he was able to
apply in his allotted time. But he had
been instructed that the time was going to come when men were going to
understand. Therefore, the Apostle Paul
writes that the last enemy in this whole major struggle in which we are engaged
in, is this enemy death. When John in the book of
Revelation, was given this revelation, and the Angel of Death carrying this
message to the consciousness of John, making the whole panorama of vision clear
before his consciousness---then John writes in the 21st book of Revelation,
that the day will come when the Body of God is going to dwell again on earth
with men and that HE is not only the Eternal God, and they HIS people, that HE is going to wipe away all the tears
from their eyes and there shall be no more death. Neither shall there be crying now anymore pain, for these former
things are going to pass away. Someone said, ‘Do you
believer that?’ Yes, I believe that
just as sure as I believe that the sun shall rise tomorrow morning.  I believe that the hour is going to come
when the process of death is going to be all over. More than this, the Old and New Testaments are filled with this
idea. And it is what is called the
blessed hope of the Church. Even in the
Ecumenical conference in the last few days where they have been discussing the
vital doctrines, in Rome, with representatives of all churches there, I was
glad to see that one of the things which they were still going to make an
important area of understanding of was that the church in all areas of
materialism still believes in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. For this is the Arch and Keystone of the
Christian Faith. More than that some of
those from Protestantism who went down to that Council, were from the areas of
modernism which denies some of those things.Â
But maybe they brought some religion back with them when they came home. The fact remains that
there are some things with which we disagree with in theology, but this is the
Arch and Keystone of the Christian Faith---Christ either raised from the dead
or the whole Bible is a fallacy.  Thus
we point out to you that this is the Arch and Keystone of the Christian
Faith. And I was most pleased when they
added to their statement that of everybody out of antiquity of which they have
a Biblical record in writing, who saw and talked with Christ after HIS death,
including over five hundred people at one time and HIS disciples, with the
exception of St. John, were martyred and put to death unless they repudiated
the fact that they saw Christ put to death and then later talked to HIM. And everyone of these people from all walks
of life, from important men from areas of political life to people in the areas
of influence, to people---peasants in the field, all of these people who would
not have suffered themselves to be put to death for a lie---still gladly
surrendered their life upon the evidence of the Resurrection of Jesus
Christ. And Rome still has to admit,
altho there is a tendency to try to deny,---that Jewry also knew that HE
Resurrected. For they hired soldiers
and they paid for people to say that the disciples stole HIS body and HE did
not resurrect from the dead. If you go back to your
records, you discover that it is well written in the scriptures. But Rome as well, had to recognize the
Resurrection of Christ. And HIS power
over death was supported not only by HIS disciples and this company which saw
HIM and died a martyred death because they would not give up this Faith which
was not demonstrated to Jewry which tried to use the power of their purse to
silence this thing, because the most dangerous thing they had to contend with
was this rising mighty Keystone of the Christian Faith. That this was the Messiah, the very God
keeping an appointment with HIS people, and demonstrating that HE was the
Master of life and death. And HE then
told John, ‘I hold the Keys to death and the grave.’ Therefore, the Apostle
Paul makes this a very clear factor, that by one man came death. How do you explain that? It came upon a race of people who in the
earliest hour of their beginning were possessed with light and glory. And this glory and light balanced every atom
of their being.  As fast as tissue
would be consumed, it would be replaced.Â
Today with all of the factors of death, medical science has demonstrated
in many ways how it will take place.Â
And we understand that they are studying the causation. They know that the violence of an accident
is one thing, but one of the mysteries they have sought to understand is why
bodily tissue which is capable of replacing itself, which is healthy and vital,
why does it not continue to do so. What
starts this chemical unbalance, call it change, but what slows down the
electrons around the center of their molecular masses, in their electronic
orbit---permits change as well as the chemical change. Modern scientists have been studying these
factors and they know that death occurs.Â
There is one thing that they are aware of and that is where the Apostle
Paul said it does---that the sentence of death starts right here in the place
where you think. Now, you might think that
this is a strange foundation. But
Heidelberg has been making quite a research about this.  And since the war, they have continued
extensive research and in Duke University, where they were studying
Para-Psychology, and other factors, and mental approaches to a lot of strange
things and incidents of life, they came to some conclusions. And one of these was that as these
psychologists and medical students under neurology who had been studying man
and his reactions, and especially as to what they thought, that they had
interviewed hundreds and hundreds with questions. Some of these questions they asked these people, some of them in
full conditions of health who they had every reason to consider them as
sound---they asked them, ‘How long do you expect to live?’ And they would come up with, unless they had
a life expectancy pattern wherein they did not expect to live very long,--but
most of them came up with this idea that they would live three score and ten
years. And possibly make eighty or four
score years. And of course they mighty
want to go along a little further than that.Â
But they did to expect that they would. Now, they have had
thirty-seven years in this recording of this reaction in this program in the
University in Washington D.C. And they
have almost been amazed that everybody who answered, hit within just a few
months. Along with this, they have been
studying other factors which are involved.Â
They are well aware that there is a tremendous relationship with the
seat of consciousness and bodily functions.Â
And that this is also true in the areas of the subconscious
pattern. They are aware therefore that
the expectancy of death, and the settling of what was an inherited expectancy,
has a certain effect. And one of these
effects is that as this peculiar inner set thermostat works, that there is a
slowing down in various reaction and relays effects also glands and also their
necessary secretion.  It effects also
the muscles themselves and it causes the beginning of friction, the contracting
patterns which remain tense. And this
effects the whole nerve area and the areas which people expect the break down
to occur. And this is the area which
becomes toxic and under certain conditions, breaks down first. Now, when these medical
scientists run thru a period of thirty-six to thirty-seven years---we are going
into the thirty-seven year now---they demonstrate that there is not process
which brings on death quite like people expecting it and thinking about it. Now, remember that we have
been told in the scripture that the wages of sin is death. This is the violation of Divine Law and the
cohabitation of that which was surrounded by light force---with that which did
not possess it in Lucifer---lost for your race the enveloping aura of glory
that automatically balanced men in their thinking. And altho Lucifer had said to Eve, ‘the day you violate this saw,
you are going to die--this is not true’----Then afterwards, Adam and Eve lived
on for a long time. And someone said
they did not die in the day of the violation.Â
But whether they knew it or not, they were dying. In the first place, they had accepted the
sentence. And in the second place, they
had lost the aura which automatically maintained them in light. The eventual power of the Resurrection and
Immortality, with the enveloping glory of heaven which balanced ever atom of
their being, with the chemical balance in a perfect state, and with the inner
consciousness in your Celestial consciousness---you possess the mind of Christ
in you, as the mind of the Creator. But
this is a spiritual area and you do not think these thoughts because the wall
of soulishness and the law has entered the barrier which exists since the fall
of man and has kept you from remembering all of these things. But remember that God said HE could bring
all things to your remembrance. All
things which have transpired in the past.Â
Inside of you is the formula of creation. In side of you is the formula of a perfect chemical balance for a
whole human being. Inside of you in
that Celestial realm, is the mind of God which you have absolute relationship
as far as the right to its knowledge, but only separated by the retention of
this memory, by the things which transpired by the fall and by a strange and
peculiar barrier called the guilt complex. Now, the guilt complex is
the consciousness of sin. And it falls
upon all men. They are conscious that
they do not measure up to God’s standard and with it they take on the second
which comes with it---that the wages of sin is death. And they anticipate that they are going to disintegrate and are
gradually die. And they set up the
scope of when it is going to happen. Now, it is true that many
people dwell upon this pattern, and the more they keep this guilt complex
active within them, the more it brings them a seed of disintegration. Now, the scripture tells
us and the Apostle Paul does too, in the book of Romans in the 8th chapter,
that ‘the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus sets you free of the law of
sin and death.’ Now, if you do not like
that, remember that the Apostle Paul wrote that after he came back from his
Celestial experience, ‘ The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus makes me
free of the law of sin and death.’ Now, we have a
philosophical approach as it appears to this verse. And we know that the spirit is Eternal, that there is no
cessation of spirit or consciousness to our race because we are the offspring
of God. And we know that man has a
spiritual and Holy Seed which started with Adam and that it came down thru Seth
and Noah and Shem, and thru Abraham to our time. We know that to be separate from this body is to be present with
the LORD. And we know that the people
of creation who are in different categories also have a process of resurrection
that will restore their soul consciousness out of this peculiar sleep that they
enter into. But for you, absent form
this body, it to be present with the LORD.Â
And ever since the resurrection of the Christ, we have been free from
all fear of death or bondage over one single White man on the face of the
earth. And it can never hold him in any
condition that would keep him from entering back into the plain of spirit. So we tell you that the
Apostle Paul, many times, when speaking about the fact that we are free from
the death of our consciousness, but there was never a death to our
consciousness so that is not what he is talking about. One of the strangest things is that if you
get into a group of ministers and a group of Bible students and they are
talking about various things and they are looking for someone to come out with
something different than they thought about, and you start talking about the
fact that we are about to reach the age of immortality, and that the law is
already in operation, and that the price has already been paid and that nobody
has to die and they all get embarrassed.Â
I have noticed this. They get
embarrassed and they call themselves fundamentalists. And you tell them that you do not have to die, and probably,
before this decade is over that death is going to stop for you and your race
and they get embarrassed and they want to change the subject. I ask them why they want to change the
subject and why they are embarrassed, when this makes up the largest and strongest
doctrine of the New Testament. Well,
they say that everybody has died up to now.Â
Well, that has nothing to do with tomorrow. Everybody has not all died up until now, for we are all still
here. And some are going to remain
until the re-entrance of Christ. And
that will stop death too. But I want you to know
that I have been reading over reports, and one of the most excellent volumes
from these scientists of Europe as they have been talking about this
relationship of thought to life processes.Â
Thought to the relationship to the physical body and why this analysis
is very vital to a proper medicinal approach in any area of the healing
profession. Unfortunately, we have so
many who are Jews in the profession and they do not know anything about life
and its apprehensions and none of these things will ever help them. But there won’t be many of them in
Heidelberg either. I point out to you
that in the course of this factor and statement, they brought out something
else that you may have noticed. There
are a great number of people who are active all of their lives and engaged in
their interest to our overall civilization, whether they have been active in
our debt or in a great corporation.Â
They have been active in delay.Â
They have been very active and consumed in their activity with their
friends and with their philosophy and with their activities, and with their
part in it. In fact, they are so a part
of it that they are making plans. And
they keep on in this way. And they have
no time to think of when they are going to get old and die. These people have not made any particular
plans to retire and take a rocking chair by the brook.  And the result is they just keep right on
going. And they pass the three score
and ten year and they pass the eighty mark and they keep on going. And now some of them are way up in the
nineties. And they are still
going. Then along comes some modern
witch doctor and he says you better slow down.Â
And they retire and sit down in a chair and they live about five months. Now, I am not making this
up. But I am taking this out of one of
the finest of medical books in your time concerning how a person thinks and
what it does to their living. Then we
discover this pattern, that individuals may change from their work pattern of
activities, and then carry out an intensive plan which now reaches out to a
whole new area. Whether that is in the
area of developing some project which they wanted or whether it is in the areas
of expanding their knowledge of theology, or their library, or battling against
something which destroys our country---they become active and they are filled
with vital interest. And they just keep
on living. Then there is that person
who is always worrying about living a little longer so that he can retire. And he never seems to enjoy retirement. Insurance companies never
worry about how long they have to pay off an insurance fund of a
retirement. They believe that as these
people retire they will not have to pay it very long. Now, we are not citing
that this law covers everyone. But this
law covers everyone who does not apply their inheritance. In the first place, one of those processes
which has brought the condemnation out---that the wages of sin is death---that
even tho the Grace of God has forgiven all of these transgressions---that it is
appointed---one time to die under Old Testament law. So they are all sure the they have to die. And the more they think on it, the more that
it works on them. Within this, the
church has been preaching a very fallacious doctrine by telling people ever
since I can remember, get ready to die.Â
You even see signs painted along the highway ‘Prepare to die.’ Great big rocks turned over by some fanatic
have painted on them ‘Are you ready to die?’Â
No, are you?  Someone said,
‘Spiritual fear?’ No, I like it
here. There are a lot of things to be
done. And until I am satisfied that
there is not anything I want to do here, I don’ want to die. That is not what is worrying me. I haven’t bought a cemetery lot and I do not
carry an insurance policy. Now, we are not telling
you what to do. For you may think that
is very foolish. And I know that a lot
of insurance companies are wanting to insure me, thinking that I am going to
die and the only way I can win is to lose.Â
You see they think that most of you aren’t going to die in the life of
that contract and they can make money using that money you pay in before they
have to pay off or they would not be in the business. I always thought that if you bought a cemetery lot you would
fill it. And I had a man come to my
door the other day selling cemetery lots and then he had an insurance policy
which would pay it off if I died before it was paid for. I told him that I was not planning on using
one and he said, ‘But everybody whoever lived has died.’ And I said, ‘No, you and I are still
here.’ Then I told him that his company
was betting on the fact that I would not die before I got it all paid for and I
was betting on that too. So I wouldn’t
give him any. He said, ‘If all people
talked like that, I could not make a living.’Â
I said, ‘Well, there are lots of better ways of making a living than
selling death.’ But there is more than the
pattern of realization we have within ourselves or the pattern of
expectancy. Or that we accept a
tradition we are living in an hour of completed history in Divine purpose and
we also have a law here that works. As
I talked to one preacher, the one who got embarrassed about immortality, and he
said the reason I don’t want to talk about it is suppose that I talked about it
and I died?’ And I said, ‘Then you do
not believe? You thing that you should
not preach about it for you might die and that would spoil the sermon---but you
wouldn’t be here to worry about it anyhow.’ Now, if God said it, then
it’s true. If it can be done, it is
true. And one reason why we do not
approach some areas of Divine revelation is because we permit ourselves to be
hampered by the fears of the assumption of the enemy which has already been
conquered with Lucifer who is the only person who can put death on people. Someone said, ‘Well, the
physical body can break down, the chemical body can break down.’ And if, my friends, it is the seat of
consciousness that starts this process, then men freed from this factor in the
seat of consciousness can accept by vital faith that God will help them
re-synthesize the tissue and reactivate the consciousness and give them a great
spiritual strength. I know of thousands
of people that God has touched and given them assistance. I also know that medical research is working
on one thing and that is a way to prolong life and eliminate the cause of
disintegration. And God is using them as well as the spiritual areas to make
men think of staying, of living.Â
Someone said that this is not Orthodox.Â
No. They are all standing around waiting for Christ to come and give
them immortality which he is going to do.Â
But they could have the powers of light now if they could only
understand this situation. The Apostle Paul said, ‘I
comprehend it, but I have not been able to apprehend it as yet.’ So therefore, if Jesus died once for every
man and HE became that substitution, then you do not have to take the penalty
of death for Adam’s transgression.  So
then why do we die? Because we are
still taking the expectation of it. We
still give testimony to it, and you are expecting it. Now, we point out to you
that in these climactic events you are going to move into a great new era. And God Almighty has ordained that a
tremendous spiritual force will descend upon HIS Kingdom. And HE told us that before certain events
take place, HE is going to shorten the time.Â
If these things go on indefinitly then there probably wouldn’t be many
of us left on this earth for we would be in slavery and conquered. So God says, ‘I am going to shorten the time
for your sake.’ And with this
shortening of the time comes the instantaneous transition of being enveloped in
light. Did you ever stop to think that
the people who are interested in the Kingdom of God and are participants in it
and want to help bring it into fullness, who want to help eliminate the forces
of darkness, throw themselves into the process of it. They are in life and living and their work, their friends, and
their associates, they have that solid forward pattern of faith in their church
attendance and in their thinking with other Christians, and their great future
anticipation of future developments in the Kingdom during the millennium reign
of Christ, and they have decided that they are going to stay here and
participate in it. That, my friends, is
the best way to reach longevity. Now, I am going to tell
you this. If you believe the revelation
of the Apostle then you will come into these words---that the spirit of Jesus
raised HIM from the dead and it lives in you.Â
That which raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal
body by the spirit that dwelleth in you. If we quicken it and those
electrons reach the level which is essential to block this breaking down, we
are told by the scientists that by the physical patterns of the material
elements which go to make up the body of man, that there is a strength that
blocks this disintegration and in the molecules of its substance, it stays in
chemical balance. Now, you say, ‘But this
does not happen. It closes down.’ Yes, because you gave ascent to it. But we are living under a great promise of
reward of the fundamental Christian faith.Â
And this is Restoration. And you
remember that what life is promised in Christianity is regeneration. Now, some people keep
running around and talking about the ‘new birth.’ But that is just a matter of translation. It is regeneration or reactivation of the
spiritual powers you had with the Father before the world was framed. Your physical birth you inherited thru
Adam. Your Celestial birth you received
from the Father from the beginning. The
reactivation of the consciousness with the power of the living God is what we
call regeneration. And some men say
this is being ‘born again.’ But you
will never be born beyond spiritual birth and physical birth. But you can be reactivated because you are a
son---to that power. Now, we do not want to get
into an argument with people who will hear this tape all over that have been
drilled in semantics until they have a barrier against their sight. But we want you to know that every branch of
the Christian Church admits to regeneration altho they sometimes don’t want you
to interpret this as a third operation as God reactivates HIS sons and HE does
it where you think. Regeneration starts
in the place where you think and it makes a change in the whole
individual. And when he gets thru he
feels free and has lost the hyper tensions that come with guilt complex and
fear. And he gets longevity with it, my
friends. Now, I am going to tell
you that while all the world is hunting for ways to prolong life, and if you
don’t think so, then you come out with any gimmick that says it will prolong
life and pass the word around that this will extend your life and see if this
doesn’t go so fast that you can’t keep up with the production. But the great secret that is one of the
longest patterns that can be contributed to life and living is this adjusting
in the consciousness of man with the purposes of God and this expanding of
living. Well, some men did it and
never died---Enoch. And as we have told
you before, also Moses. Because he
never wrote those last two verses in the Bible which says that he died because
we do not accept the authorship of that.Â
For we know that Moses was with Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration. So he could not have been down in the
Netherworld waiting for Christ and his deliverance. So Moses was in the same place that Enoch was and in the same
place the Elijah was. And that was in
the plain of spirit. And we have other
evidence of Immortality. Now, I do not have time to
finish this subject, but let me tell you what is outlined in the book of
Romans. Here in this book of Romans, it
says the whole creation vibrates with us.Â
What does that mean? They are
vibrating in pain and waiting together.Â
Not only they who are the creation, but ourselves also. And he just finished telling us that we are
the children of God. Thus we, the
children of God and all the creation, are vibrating together waiting for
what? We are waiting to be delivered
from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty which belongs to the
children of God. Thus the children of
God do not have to accept death. The
children of God have been accepting death after the Resurrection because they
did not understand what was entailed and all that was involved in that victory.
We will have more to say
about this subject later, but it is all related to the chemistry of being, to
all of the power greater than this, which directs the movement of all of the
energies in the Universe in its orbit and that is the Mind of God and that mind
in you.  The power also is within
you. And it effectively will be
demonstrated. For one of these days the
energy is going to be released and it will be brought to your remembrance. It will be an applied pattern. And suddenly you are going to see your whole
society stand up with new vigor. You
will see these wrinkles move away. I
mean that your Celestial being and your physical body. And remember that the physical body is the
exact image of your Celestial body except for this disintegration. That is why the Apostle Paul tells us that
the man Christ Jesus was the image of the invisible God. Then the Apostle Paul tells us that you are
flesh of HIS flesh and bone of HIS bone coming out of HIS offspring Adam. You are spirit of HIS Spirit and HIS Spirit
bears witness that you are spirit of HIS Spirit. And then HE says there is
one thing I am going to do when I present Myself to My people in the moment
which is coming. There will not be one spot,
one wrinkle, or one blemish. I am going
to present them in the height of health and the prime of maturity. This is the Eternal pattern for sons and
daughters of God. I tell you, my friends,
that this will be consummated in the great hour of Christ’s return. Then HE said, ‘I am going to do one short
work of righteousness before I come.’Â
And this is what is to come. ‘I
am going to start liberating My children in the seat of their consciousness
from this disintegrating force.’ As I finished talking
these ministers, they found out that there was more on this subject than they
talked about. And they found that they
were embarrassed. They did not know
these things. But many have stayed away
from the big promises because they have not claimed them.  But these are the covenants of life. And this is a part of God’s plan. And a part of the conditioning of what God
wants HIS household to have from one end of this country to the other and all
over the world. That we are about to
see the last enemy cast down from its hold on men. And that last enemy is death. We will speak more on this
subject in the sermon--’From Death unto Life.’ (End of sermon)
