PRINCE OF PEACE 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 Â Â Â Â Â Â
by Dr. Wesley Swift----12-23-62 Â This afternoon we think
upon the tremendous event and we lay background for the celebration which we
find throughout all Christendom at this time of year--the Birth of Christ. It is impossible for us to understand in
full the impact of this event except it become personalized to us and the whole
panorama of these events become a part of our thinking and our living. One of the most significant things is to
hear people everywhere singing 'Peace
on earth, good will unto men.'Â Â I hear
clergymen everywhere trying to extend this peace on earth to include all the
enemies of God and His Kingdom. They
try to extend 'peace on earth' as a process to all who would destroy and they
actually expect you to make 'peace' in your nation and outside your nation with
every force that would destroy. They do
this because they do not understand the great significance of this 'peace', or
how it must be maintained. Before we go
into our thoughts concerning this hour, I would tell you that there is no
'peace' ever advocated in the program of God's Kingdom which is not related to
Victory. It is not by acquiescence or
by appeasement. It is not today by withdrawing
from positions of leadership and joining hands with the pagans of the world, or
the Communist in their stronghold that we will introduce--'Peace'. There is no amount of modern approach that
will accomplish this. And all of the
pacifism being preached today will not accomplish--'Peace.'Â But the 'peace' of YAHWEH shall be known and
'HIS peace' shall go out from one end of the earth unto the other. But it will be a peace accomplished by
victory. The powers of darkness are not
going to emerge triumphant because people have relinquished their position of
leadership or surrendered to the enemy.Â
We are in one of the late critical periods of time and in one of the
greatest years of the measure of history.Â
We will have more to say about this come evening. but there is one thing we should call to your attention. This year, 1962, has been an unusual year marked by the vision
God unveiled to Enoch, one of the greatest and probably the greatest patriarchs
of our race. This year 1962--is the one year that the planets lined up in the
sign of Aquarius. Back almost 5000
years before Christ, when the planets all moved into alignment in Aquarius,
word was given unto Enoch that this would be the great year when you would see
this sign of the Son of man in the heavens.Â
The word was--when you see this sign --as the planets line up--either on
one side in Aquarius or in opposition--directly across from the others, then
recognize this sign. So all the planets
of our solar system lined up and Enoch was the only man who knew how many
planets there were in this solar system.Â
After he returned from the heavens, he wrote in that ancient book about
how many planets he saw. Then it was
not until 1932 that we were able by our great instruments to actually see and
establish how many planets were in our solar system. It was after that when they were sure that Pluto was there. And the spectacle of Uranus was not seen
until lately. Before that, they knew by
speculation that Uranus was there but they never saw it. We point out that way back
5000 years before The Christ, the things Enoch experienced, and wrote about
were true. But one of the great things
that challenges us in to realize that along with all the events which we will
discuss as we talk about the area of the star and the mystery of it, was all
this panorama of expectancy. And God
who put the tableau of all these events into motion, had declared unto Enoch,
how and by what processes His people of earth would know that these times had
arrived. And just as the arrival of the
measures which related to the birth of Christ.Â
And how they would understand the signs. So was the knowledge given for the measures of this year. We know that the Wisemen of Israel saw and
understood these signs and they arrived on time. They knew what they were looking for and they proved that by
their arrival. Also, the word was given
to us of the sign of the son of man in the heavens. Then you remember the words given to us by Jesus in Matthew
24:30. We are told here that as this
sign appeared in the sky, that in this period of time, the heathen of earth
would mourn. And truly we watched this
as for the first time in history all the planets in the sky aligned in the sign
of Aquarius. Not since the days of
Enoch had there been in the sign of Aquarius those positions in the sky until
this year. As you know, we have saved
clippings out of newspapers and the records of happenings out of India, as to
how they thought the world was coming to an end last February. Even up in Tibet, they were worrying about
the end of the world. And even in
Africa, they mourned the sign which appeared in the heavens. Now you say--but this was
mere superstition on the part of the heathen of the earth and it doesn’t make
any difference what it was. But when
Jesus said when you see the sign of the son of man in the heavens, the pagans
and the heathen of the earth are going to mourn, then to the Seed of Promise,
we are to know that we are coming to the climax of the end of an age. The end of a most important period and the
beginning of a new period. And the sign
of the son of man in the heavens is something we look forward to with great
expectancy, while the enemies of God’s Kingdom would like to push that date off
permanently and hope it never comes to pass.Â
So it is a significant
thing that we are children of covenants and promises. And we think in the great relationships and patterns of these
events. As we talk about this subject
this afternoon, I want this to be real and clear to you as to what the covenants
and promises consist of. Remember that
the purposes and realizations of what god was going to do dawned upon Isaiah
the prophet, who was one of the greatest of the major prophets. Isaiah declare in chapter 7:14:---â€A Virgin
shall conceive and bear a son. Thou
shall call His name Immanuel.†There is no mistake about
the significance of that declaration. I
want this to be paramount in your mind that one of the great covenant promises
was--that God would be born--in a body--of a virgin--into earth. And more than that, He would be the fullness
of God, dwelling bodily--IMMANUEL.Â
There can be no understanding of Christmas in any church or congregation
or among any people anywhere in the world today, that do not accept that when
this was fulfilled--THIS WAS GOD COME IN THE FLESH. Nor, my friends, is there any spiritual power to be imparted to
any people unless they proceed this way. In the last few days, we
have listened to some voices over our nation and we repudiate them. But one we especially repudiate came from a
Justice of the Supreme Court,--Justice Douglas. We repudiate because of the lack of vision as he spoke, as he
downgraded the church as a failure saying that the reason was because they had
not looked up to the good teachings of Christ.Â
Then he went on to say--’the one area of error of Christianity is that
it taught there is only--ONE--way. It
will not accept the perimeters of other religions and it will fail until it is
willing to share other ideas that there are other routes--besides Christ.’ I want you to know I
repudiate that statement as well as every other statement that I have heard him
make for a long time. I want you to
know that you do not have to be ashamed of the truth. There is only ONE WAY--and only--ONE WAY--to obtain both the
Peace of God, and the successful administration of peace and righteousness in
the earth, or any part of HIS universe.Â
That was is thru recognition and thru polarization of the consciousness
of man in every area of his conduct, with the purposes and thoughts of HE who
is the MOST HIGH GOD. There are not
many gods. There is not an assembly of
gods. There is not a sharing of gods. There is not a group of ‘grand masters’ of
all philosophies sitting on the top of some high mountain in the Himalayas or
in some far off planet out in space that say--’we share all this--we are
gods.’ No! There is only ONE GOD, ONE
ETERNAL YAHWEH to your race, and HE said:--â€I alone, am God and beside Me there
is no god.â€Â When you understand that,
then you will understand the vitality of your mission because you are the
children of the Eternal and you have been sent from heaven to earth to build a
Kingdom. You have been sent to bring
back a wayward planet in a position of a solar system. You will then understand that your destiny
is tremendous and it reaches back into the ages of yesterday. And for some, into the unknown
tomorrows. But the sure purposes of God
are clearly outlined as to some of your responsibilities. Everything that relates to the greatness of
God is thrilling and challenging. When
we recognize the fact that out of the multitude of your kinsmen, that run into
the multiple million, until they are as the sands of the sea shore and the
stars of the heavens. And yet, these
are the children of the ETERNAL GOD--YOUR FATHER. And HE hath begotten you in the Spirit. Then you realize that this is so challenging, by number and
purpose, that it is staggering to you.Â
But the colossal pattern which amazed men, is that even tho the
multitude of HIS household--still there has been no loss of personal between
your Eternal Father and you the individual.Â
Now you are not just a glob of people in a mass somewhere because HE has
written your name down in His divine records before the foundation of the
earth. He not only knows each one of
you in your physical bodies, but He knew you in the Spirit and blessed you in
the spirit before even this cosmos was created. When you recognize this, you become aware of the infinite magnitude
of the intelligence and the consciousness and the Grace of our Father. So great of course, that the sidereal
systems alone that He controls, is beyond your comprehension. In the spirit, you may remember many of these
things. And He can bring these things
to your remembrance. But the staggering
thing is that when we recognize that this Eternal Creator who has no beginning,
has been creating throughout all ages.Â
And then became embodied in a physical body with the same perimeters as
that which you reside in, for you to dwell here in a physical body. And He did that because you were here. And He intends to accomplish His purposes
because this was His covenant with you. There never was a birth
such as this one. And there never was
an event so important to you who are already resident in the earth or
away. To you who are posterity, who
came by Divine timing, and are now here proving that you arrived, nothing was
so important than the realization that God had taken upon Himself also, a body
of flesh. That He be just like His
kinsmen. That He might conquer all the
problems and forces of the adversary.Â
That He might deliver HIS Kingdom in finality. And there has been no event in history so important to you, than
the donning of a physical body by God, according to His covenant. If this were not the fullness of the Great
Revelation, then Isaiah caught the
majesty of this as he said:--’A virgin shall conceive and shall bear a
son. And thou shalt call Him IMMANUEL.’ Let no man take ‘IMMANUEL’
off of Christ and then say--this is just a good man. A good man--a teacher--a philosopher. It is most important that you realize that this is---YAHWEH
INCARNATE---GOD WITH US---â€IMMANUEL.†I assure you this
afternoon, that this affirmation upon the part of the children of the MOST HIGH
is a part of the secret of their power.Â
There is nothing that lacks vitality as much as a church which does not
know that Jesus is --THE CHRIST. We
point out to you that in the 9th chapter of the book of Isaiah, that He was to
expand out thinking one of the most important area in the understanding of
God. But he said something that relates
to you. For this verse is a White mans
verse. It belongs to the children of
God’s Kingdom. It belongs to everyone
of the White Christian nations. It
belongs to the Scandinavians, the Anglo-Saxons, the Nordic, Germanic, Basque,
and Lombard people. It is something
which relates to a personal relationship with God and His offspring in the
earth. And the vision and declaration
of Isaiah was to fulfill this:--†UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN.†Not unto Africa or unto
Asia. Altho the greatness of this hour
was to eventually make itself known and will make itself known unto the ends of
the earth. Because not only thy race,
and thru this enveloping miracle will goo and Grace go to the ends of the
earth. And the entirety of the earth is
going to be blessed thru you and especially thru this event. But it is --â€Unto us a child is bornâ€. Because He wasn’t born in an African hut and
under the office and assistance of some ‘witch doctor’. He wasn’t born before the monks and their
high chanting in the high mountains of Tibet.Â
He was not born to a household of pagan idol worshiping people. But He was born to our race--who alone of
all people have been worshipers of ONE GOD--from our origin. Therefore unto us ‘a Child is born.’ More than that, a member of the family. For unto us a son was given. Can you imagine the Eternal Creator with all
the shimmering radiant effulgent majesty of Deity with the light which holds
all things together, with which the energies which hold the Universe
together--becoming embodied in probably the most helpless unit of life in the
earth--this being a human body. Stop
when you think of this and you are faced with the fact that there is nothing
which is quite as helpless and needs more care as well as being in the
perimeter of being indefensible. There
is nothing quite as complete in this as a human child. And the fact that the Eternal God--our
Father--looked down upon you who by this process had advent into the world, when
He sent you forth from His presence, and had rejoiced as you looked back on His
presence--then He said--I will join you.Â
I will emerge--the fullness of God--dwelling bodily. Emerging as a baby--growing up into a
youth. Then as the Eternal God walking
in earth among His people. There is no
shortening of this vision. There is no
way to take away the fullness of what Paul said:--In this, YAHSHUA--this Jesus
the Christ--the fullness of YAHWEH--God was dwelling bodily. Not just a part of God
while some of Him sat up there running the Universe. No, my friends, several gods are not in this picture and dividing
it up, one as a spirit, another upon a throne, and another making some other
approach. Instead, the fullness of God
dwelt in Christ Jesus. Yes.  I mean--’dwelling in this Christ Jesus. This Child was running the Universe. The spirit consciousness of this Child ran
the Universe while the soul consciousness of this Child was enveloped in a body
which grew up just like any other body grows up. This was the Miracle of what God did for you. This is what Christmas means and nothing
else. This miracle is not something to
make a system of merchandising out of and get you trapped in that cycle. It isn’t a day that is just a holiday
because we like holidays. This is the
day that we celebrate as the ‘Birth of God.’Â
And this is the most important thing which ever happened in earth. And definitely the most important thing
which ever happened to the children of God that dwell in earth. “Unto us a child is born
and the government shall be upon His shoulders.â€Â  The right-wing should take heart at that. Because the right-wing is upon HIS
side. In this great conflict the battle
is between that which is good and that which is evil. It is between Christ and Anti-Christ. And you are assured that the government which He established, did
not leave you out. According to His
purpose, His government is divided with His children who He said:--’I have
given this promise that My children are to sit with Me in the seat of
authority.’ You are to share with Him
the administration in the great government of His Kingdom. He alone being God and above all and that
government shall be upon His shoulders and as HE wished it. He directs it and it shall be blessed in
fulfillment with you as participants in it. “HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED
WONDERFUL.â€Â This, my friends, is
impossible for the human mind to fully comprehend. There is no word or language which exists in earth to describe the
majesty, the beauty, the effulgent radiation which comes from the Eternal
God. It is impossible to consummate
this in just one word--Wonderful. But it is as close as the human language can
approach in its description of the Father.Â
His name shall be called Wonderful--Councilor. Of all the patterns of knowledge and wisdom which moves thru the
earth, only that which moves by inspiration thru the consciousness of God--thru
the receiving consciousness of His people, acting and inspiring and producing
the greatest of civilizations.Â
Possessing the greatest knowledge and vision of ideas that the probing
mind of men can find. Later He was to
say:--’Seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.â€Â  There is nothing which shall be established
as clearly by the works which you do and by the vision which you perceive than
His counseling. There is no communion of
consciousness more important to you than that counsel which proceed forth from
that inevitable coverage of His people with His Holy Spirit, which guides you
into the knowledge of truths, and can become the most vital of all counseling
agency in all your experiences in life.Â
There are too many people who live lives without counsel, while
professing Faith in the greatest of all Counselors. He the Eternal God has by the infinity of His Spirit, a part of
which is in you because you are His offspring. A wave length of His
consciousness is so a part of you, that you only have to turn to it to pick up
its intuitive guidance. This is a
counseling which belongs to you because each and everyone of you, because as
you meditate upon the problem which is so many times in the minds of
Christians,---’how to pray.’ How can
millions pray and be in contact with the Father? How can He take these calls and hear these prayers? How can He know what we are saying? How many centrals would it take if this
operated as a telephonic system? How
can heaven take the prayers of so many?Â
My friends, this can be done because the Eternal consciousness of
God--operating in Omniscience--operating in an immediate and direct contact, in
this process that you are a part of Him as His offspring. He is spirit and of your spirit. And therefore the portion of His spirit in
you is making the adjusted answer to your prayer for knowledge, for wisdom, and
guidance. Your prayer doesn’t have to
go way out in space and then come back.Â
His Omnipresent--Omniscient wisdom has become so a part of you that He
had placed inside of your thinking capacity, a portion of this intellect. And therefore let an awareness of this come
as Paul says:--’Let this mind be to you that is in Christ Jesus.’ I point out to you that this is what Isaiah
in his prophecy was talking about as he said:--’Unto us a child is born, unto
us a son is given. His name shall be
called Wonderful--Counselor--the Mighty God.’ You don’t have to add much
to that as the MIGHTY GOD reaches out so far. And takes in so much that we
stand staggered at the vastness of this majesty. God in a body--walking with us--talking with us--and even talking
to us who had not been born into a physical world. And knew us as His posterity, here in the records of His family
coming in, according to His fore knowledge---THE MIGHTY GOD. When you say--the Mighty God--it is not a
god which takes second place. No. GOD who dwelt bodily with us--the
EVERLASTING FATHER. When I say--the
Everlasting Father of the White Race, some people want to repudiate this and
extend the Fatherhood into areas which do not exist. He always is the Eternal God.Â
Always there is Grace to anyone who reaches out,--to anyone who
approaches HIM. But think of the
experience which belongs to us of the Christian civilization, who when the
prophecy of Isaiah says--’The Everlasting Father--, it really means that He is
our Father and we are His children.Â
There is no doubt that He begat us. In this declaration even
in the book of James, we see that HE the Eternal Father, the Father of all
life, of all vibration, the Father of all Faith--created by His own
determination--begat He us, out of His own living way. We are His children. His Spirit bears
witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. The Apostle Paul makes this to ring out of
the book of Romans. And so fills it
with the mystery of revelation as he received it from God Himself. He answers with continued repetition, the
declaration that was understood by the great masters of our forefathers who in
the background of the Old Testament experience had revelation upon revelation
from the days of the speaking of Seth to the great wisdom imparted by Enoch. Then this was carried forward by the great
master carriers of our society. For
they knew that they were His children.Â
And He was their Father. And as
such, they looked forward to a greater revelation and how this would apply to
them here in earth. “THE EVERLASTING FATHER,
THE PRINCE OF PEACE.â€Â It seems like a
strange thing to say---’Prince of Peace’ when we refer to the birth of Christ
or to His Kingdom, since there wasn’t any peace in the world before He arrived,
or even after He arrived. In fact, He didn’t
even arrive in a time of Peace. In the
very hour when He arrived, there was animosity directed against the
Kingdom. In the hour of His birth the
Jewish king and his army plotted against Him in how to murder Him. How to put Him to death. Even in the prophesies--God, knowing the
nature of men, talks about the pain of Bethlehem, as the women cried for their
children who were murdered by the Jews.Â
This proved that they were not of the seed of Israel. Were not of the sed of the house of David,
as they killed and murdered, with their soldiers, in order to kill every babe
in Bethlehem hoping to kill Jesus--The Christ.Â
Yes. They attempted to destroy
HIM from the beginning as far in the sky the dragon thought to swallow up the
woman with her man child as soon as He was born. The 12th chapter of Revelation gives you some of the significant
symbolism of that story and is has not changed. The same powers that hated Christ, fought His church all thru its
existence as they sought to destroy Him all thru His ministry. They have been waging a relentless warfare
against Christ and His Kingdom right up to this hour. There has never been a period in which there was peace between the
powers of darkness and the Kingdom of God.Â
There will only be peace when the powers of darkness are
overthrown. When the powers of evil are
cast down and the world is ruled by righteousness. The program of God’s
Kingdom is not--co-existence. And it is
not appeasement. If the program of
God’s Kingdom had been co-existence, then Christ would have not come to earth
and there would be no Christians. If
the program had been appeasement, then the Almighty would have just left this
solar system all to itself and left Lucifer in control forever--of its people. The other day, a minister
said to me:--’Isn’t there any Gospel that reaches out to the ends of the
earth? Think of the African and Asian
people. Are they all on the
outside?’---There is no doubt that there is no Gospel with--more Grace--than
that in which God would visit earth to not only rectify and re-establish the
power of His people, lifting up their own consciousness to the realization of
their own Sonship, taking away their own guilt complex and empowering them to
build HIS Kingdom. He sent you here
from His own household to put the world back in order. If there is any greater Grace to be found
than this--that God would be embodied in His own children, when He knew that it
would require His own embodiment to re-adjust and save them from the
environment He had placed them in to accomplish this purpose--then I know of no
greater Grace. There is no shortening
of power that can adjust every individual until there is not a man or woman of
your race who before God is finished with them, will not stand forth with the
Glory of the Father, even as majestic as He has revealed in Himself. In the earth this shall be brought to
pass. Even if He has to resurrect every
man or woman of your race to accomplish this purpose. Then thru this purpose, the world brought back from disaster, --so
shall it be done. This is a little bit or
the magnitude which is enveloped in the birth of Christ. And of the increase of
His government there shall be no end.Â
Nor of the throne of David where it shall be established. More than this, I want you to realize that
with all this, that the Covenant was:--’Unto Us a Child is Born, Unto Us a Son
is Given.†Significantly--this is our relationship to the
Father. Now let us go back a bit.
---Mighty God--Everlasting Father--Prince of Peace. There is no ‘peace’ on any other threshold. There is no peace in the world even
now. As your race moved out to help the
world such as the situation in the Congo tells us how that resulted under the
entrapment of this great nation in the United Nations, a Luciferian
design. Today there is almost a
colossal area of war in the Congo instead of peace. I want you to know that an understanding of this situation is a
little bit on the essential side. I
happen to have a letter from a Master Sergeant in the Air Force who is in the capitol
of the Republic of Congo. And we sent
him down there to take care of our air craft.Â
He is telling in this letter of Dec. 15, 1962, of what is happening
there. He said (quote):--’We have had
such rioting and killing here, and not all of the news is of peace this time of
year.’--He tells of a football game between a Congolese tribe and another tribe
and the trouble there. And it made me
think of a game played in Washington, D.C. last week. There a Negro school was playing a Catholic school. And when being beaten in the game, the
Negroes surged out on the field and outnumbering the Whites 4 to 1, as they do
all over Washington, D.C., they attacked the Whites and the police officers as
well. There wasn’t any ‘Peace’
there. And there will be no peace even
in these United States if you do not follow the Laws of God. But down there in the Congo, there wasn’t
any peace in that program we are following either. There was a sudden flare up between the teams and several people
were killed. So the Congolese players
were ported back to their district. And
when they got home, being still disturbed, they went out and killed other
tribesmen around their area. More than
this, they kept on killing the non-Congolese except the Europeans who were
under strict curfew to protect them.Â
But the local air plane hanger had 400 refugees in it and they had to be
flown out of the country to protect them.Â
The Air Force man said that the Negroes were swinging clubs and
screaming as tho crazy. And yet there
was almost a Mardi Gras atmosphere about it because they were also laughing as
tho with joy. Well,--this was probably
a hangover from the tribal days when they raided villages, and made off with
men and women. The Air Force man went on
to say that they had spent many evening prior to this teaching the people of
the rooting section how to enjoy the coming game. But now they realized that you cannot teach these people
anything. They are savages from the
dark ages. We were informed by one man
we considered a friend that he had just eaten his best friend because he wanted
to take on his best friend’s better qualities.Â
The Air Force man said that since he had been in that country, there had
been all kinds of those situations. One
incident a man had killed his wife, eaten part of her and sold the rest on the
market. When anyone dies they ask the
question first--did they eat them or not eat them? If you were to be here you would know that cannibalism goes on
all over this country. These people are
complete pagans. And not they are
making trouble in the Southern Rhodesia near to this area. And people fear that another country like
Algeria is in the making. This little
country of Rhodesia is a country hacked out of the wilderness by hard
working White pioneers. And is just now
beginning to share its benefits. There
was not even a native village in this area when the country was created. There is then no question of anybody having
land taken away from them. In areas
where there has been peace, it is now being taken away by the meddling of the
United Nations. I thought this a very
intelligent letter. But I only add this
because I want you to recognize that as soon as you set outside a Christian
nation under the Laws of god, that there is no peace. There was no peace in the old days before you colonized different
areas. And there isn’t any peace, when
you relinquish leadership. The only
time peace came to Africa, is when you ruled.Â
The only time there is peace is when the rule is by God’s Law, by His
people, and by HIS purposes as they are carried out. Thus there is no peace today because of meddling by the powers of
darkness. Here two days before
Christmas, the ‘Long Shore Men’ are going out on strike. And the Maritime Union men are going on
strike down the East coast to the Gulf of Mexico. They are going to tie up all shipping, making this a dangerous
situation to the security of our country for a while. The losses for New York Harbor alone, in wages, for one day will
be nearly 1 million dollars. Think this
over. Talk about peace. Someone is stirring up a condition of unrest
in every area of production in our country.Â
We have an enemy who designs to overthrow. There isn’t any peace when you have a program for the largest
weapons plan in all history to be carried on in just this year. Fifty-three billion dollars is being
allotted for just the development of many special weapons. At the same time, you are in the greatest
muddle of all time. They are asking you
to surrender your defenses while you feverishly plan new weapons and ways to
defend yourself from the hoards of Anti-Christ. One hand says this is evil.Â
This is the Anti-Christ. While
the other hand says, this is great statesmanship and we are getting closer and
closer together. We should surrender every
defense into the hands of World Government in the name of peace. Let me assure you that
their every word about peace makes me think about the words in the book of
Ezekiel 7:25. For they relate to this
day and to this time. ‘Destruction cometh;
and they shall seek peace. And there
shall be none.’ Why? Because as Ezekiel says they have been doing
wickedly in the earth. Because of the
great chain of their bloody crimes and their violence. And even the people of God become involved
because they permit themselves to be advised by the forces of darkness. Your participation in any program of the
United Nations, or any area which brings violations of God’s Law brings trouble
on you. Then you read of the reactions in these areas and there will be no physical
peace until you get into alignment with the Laws of God--as a Nation. We point out to you that
God knows these things. And Ezekiel
points out these terrible problems which effect God’s Kingdom. Then he tells us that they seek peace but
there is none. Jeremiah the prophet,
also said:--’We ask O Lord, for Peace but we haven’t received Peace--where
therefore is the Peace?’ Then God
points out that the reason you don’t have peace is because of the things your
leaders and some of those around your leaders, have trapped you in. You cannot have peace until you walk in
synthesization with the King of Kings and the Prince of Peace. I think this is a significant factor because
today so many are trying to created a false standard of Peace by asking us to surrender
the areas of righteousness in order to gain that peace. The event we are
celebrating today is a great earthshaking event which transpired almost 2000
years ago. And it has not stopped
either in its expansion of the spiritual force, nor has it ceased in its
pattern of declaration. Someone
asked:--’Where is He born Prince of Peace and what did this mean?’ I want you to turn for one moment to the
book of John in the 14th chapter and listen to these words. (Vs. 27)   “Peace I leave unto you. My peace I give unto you; not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your
heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.†My peace. This means that the individual who is
synchronized in his thinking in God’s plan and His purposes--this individual
who can recognize the plan and its purpose, who can recognize and accept the
covenants of God, who can bow before the greatness of His revelations, who can
prove the realization of what happened as God was embodied among us, and who
see the conquest of evil, and the patterns of righteousness stretching
throughout the earth--this individual--has in his own mind, a pattern of
perfect serenity. For God will keep him
in perfect ‘Peace’---those whose mind is stayed on HIM. I want you to know that when Jesus said--â€My
peace I leave with youâ€--He wasn’t talking about the kind of Peace which has to
do with making a deal with evil. He was
not talking about the kind of Peace which has to depend upon some ones word,
when that someone has no spiritual capacity to fulfill it. With this statement, Jesus went inside the
pattern of your consciousness--because that is where you live. Maybe you think that living is just the
movement of our physical being throughout the earth? That living is the contact we make with the world round
about. But living is in conscious
perception. It is in the pattern of
realization. If you were to separate
from you the intellectual capacity to evaluate, and the consciousness of
experience, you wouldn’t even know you were here. So living is being. The
awareness of it. And the most important
thing about living is to be able to live without a burden on your
conscious. A lot of people today,
seem to you as tho they were prosperous, but they are not at ease. Because they have a burden on their conscious
and they are not at ease. And great
hyper tensions are on them at all times.Â
They are distraught.  They are
troubled. Or they are seeking a
psychiatrist, or seeking relief from one source or the other. They are seeking relief from an intense gnawing
from something which they cannot explain.Â
What they want is peace. The
world cries for it. The world looks for
it and wants it. But He said:--’My
peace I give unto you, not as the world gives to you, but My peace.’ With that Peace you can
move thru the midst of conflict with a perfect serenity of spirit. You can move thru an environment that
normally can be dangerous and know that a thousand can fall at thy side. And 10 thousand at thy right hand, and no
harm can come to thee. That you can move
into conflict for the purpose of the establishing of the Kingdom of God, and
for liberating people in bondage and do it with perfect truth. Someone says--but you
cannot war against the enemy and have peace.Â
But I tell you that if you are aware of the enemy, and his evil and you
do not war against him, then you won’t have any peace either. But you will have a guilt complex forever. There is no alterative to
the realization that all the processes which are described in prophecy and in
time, and in human experience are a part of the pattern of our living. I want you to know that there is nothing
more important for us to understand than the sequence of His Spirit, as it
works in the processes of human thinking.Â
This is the peace which the world cannot take away from you and also
which the world cannot give you. Let me
point out to you also that among the miracles of those events it would be only
understandable that in an event such as God’s birth into the physical world
would be accomplished with a great phenomena.Â
And so it was. We will have more
to say about this tonight as we talk to you about --’The Star’. And this is a matter of divine assured
accuracy in Divine purpose and in Divine Hands. But I think about the
shepherds out on the Judean hills which make up as much of a part of our
story. Those shepherds talking and
watching their flocks and speaking about the problem of their time, when
suddenly the Angel of the Lord is in their presence. One moment they were on the hillside by themselves, then as the
early church records tell us, a great light shown down on them. That was quite a phenomena in itself. And they were frightened. This is why the Angel said:--’Be not
afraidâ€. For of course they were afraid
as you would be if a great light suddenly shown down on you. An Angel of the Lord then stepped before
them and he came from one of those chariots of the Most High from which the
light also came.  Then above them was a
whole heavenly choir and the shepherds didn’t even know it. The Angel said:--’I bring you tidings of
great joy, for unto you this day--a Savior--Christ the Lord.’ He made this declaration of which today we
hear so much about. “Glory to God in
the highest.â€Â Then suddenly the
shepherds heard the multitude of the heavenly hosts praising God. There in the sky was a heavenly host, a
great heavenly choir, the servants, the people, the armies serving God. All the heavenly hosts--of the Most High
God. Even tho the fullness of God was
lying in that manger, He was not alone, for the great heavenly host was around
that Child at that moment. This is like the days when
the prophet said to his servant--if God would only open your eyes, you would
see the heavenly hosts standing by and know that we are protected. Then also, Jesus said to Peter:--’Put up
your sword. You know that I could call
in a multitude of heavenly hosts if I wanted to.’ Even here today, you are surrounded with them. You are surrounded with a whole company of
witnesses, that you cannot see. You
cannot hear them. Nevertheless you are
not alone. I point out to you that
here with the shepherds there were great crafts above them. And the heavenly hosts sang. I think of the words in Deuteronomy 33 when
Moses said:--’YAHWEH came over Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them. He shined forth from Mount Paran.’ And He
came with 10,000 of His saints--(believing offspring) when He brought the fiery
law to Moses. This same Eternal Father
now born as a babe in a manger, had earlier came with 10,000 of His believing
offspring when He came to give the Law to His people, thru Moses. This great company moved over Seir and great searchlights
shined down, and God alighted and talked to Moses. The same kind of crafts came and took Enoch into the
heavens. They come and go from earth to
heaven. And with the shepherds here on
the Judean hills that night, a great light shown down on them. So we are told in the scripture. And heavenly hosts were in that area, the
night of His birth. The choir sang in
joy, and then they went back into the heavens. My friends, the hosts of
heaven surrounded that area of the earth on that night because of the
importance of this event. .’‘UNTO US, A CHILD IS
GIVEN--UNTO US A SON IS BORN†What a spectacle to the
Angels and to the Universe, who knew that God had stepped into the body of a
child whose essence and being was the essence of His own spiritual
miracle. He could say later as He stood
before His disciples--’Before Abraham was I AM.’ Turn to the book of
Hebrews and you find that in the life of Abraham, one day--there came an
embodied individual with great Majesty.Â
And He was known as the King of Salem, meaning the King of Peace. In this instance, the Apostle Paul tells you
in the book of Hebrews, that there was a great mystery about this King of Peace.---This
is what we are told:----â€This was Melchizedek--King of Salem--Priest of the
Most High God. When Abraham returned
from his destruction of the kings--He blessed him and Abraham gave him 1/10th
of all of his tithe because HE was the King of Salem, which is the King of
Peace. For HE was without
Father,--without mother--without descent, having neither beginning of days or
end of life, but abides--Incarnate YAHWEH continually. (Hebrews 7). This, my friends, was the King of
Peace. And I tell you that you must
understand this Peace, because there is no peace for you in the world today
until you have synchronized your consciousness with the plan of God. ---’How should they know, if they are not
told. How can they carry out the blue
print for God’s world except they know where it is, and what it is all
about.’  So today we can say that there
is nothing more important to your race than the knowledge that God has joined
His people---to empower them to finish the task He set for them to do. Which is to bring out a complete and total
redemption. To set them free--to lift
all fears--all guilt complexes. You can
today, look god in the face and say:--’I am justified by thy Grace. I take you at thy word. There is not a charge against me. You can look God in the face, and there are
no other people on the earth today that can do that.---Only the children of the
Kingdom can look the Father in the face.Â
Oh--you say--but I could never do that.Â
But I tell you that God is pleased with your Faith as you stand to look
Him in the face saying:--’Our Father which are in heaven--hallowed be thy
name.’ Remember also that this is our
Kinsman, in the fullness of YAHWEH. God
who in that hour of majesty was born in a physical body--emerging as a son of
Mary, and at the same time was the fullness of Deity.  “UNTO US A SON IS BORN.†You can imagine the
majesty of that hour. Then shepherds
came to the manger. But the manger had
been transformed. The radiance--the glory--the
effulgence--the eminence that surrounded that place, made it light up so that
even the people of the little city of Bethlehem knew about it. The other day, the Hearst
newspapers carried an article that came out of a very interesting
background. They researched the records
in Rome of the events that happened around that time of the birth of Christ,
and in the community of the birthplace and found records and reports of those
things that people had reported, such as lights over the manger, strange light
over the city, and the strange light that came and moved over the
community. These things have been
reviewed and supported more and more by Archeology and modern record proving
that these things happened and that they are true.  Rome never doubted but what this was true. For they had the record as they had
investigated and found the reports were true. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â As we look back upon these important
events, let us remember this. There is
only one important Peace. And that is
the Peace of --the Prince of Peace.Â
This peace is found in the deep consciousness of men--where they
live. For the realization that HIS
Peace shall come upon all the earth, when evil shall have been defeated, and
the Kingdom of God with their standard of righteousness have been brought to
their fulfillment. With this
realization then, we say---’Prince of Peace--and we know He was the Everlasting
Father--Our Kinsman. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
