“Guilty As Charged!”

On December 15, 2008, I went to Taos for the final day of the trial in which I was accused of touching minors sexually. I was convicted by the jury of one count of touching a minor sexually and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. I am not clear on what those last charges were based on, but the jury seemed to know.

As I sat at the desk at 8:20 A.M., waiting for the jurors to come into court before the beginning of deliberation for the second day, the Father revealed to me what the verdict was going to be. What came to me was, “guilty on all counts.” I wrote 8:20 A.M. and GOAC on a piece of tissue paper, the only paper available to me at the moment. He also showed me why the world had to convict me. It was because they were now going to be convicted by the heavenly court and found guilty for all of their hidden offenses before heaven. They convicted the Son of man and now they were going to be convicted. After I was shown the outcome by my heavenly Father, I invited my son down to my table to prepare him for the verdict.

I have never been charged for a felony before. I have never been charged for sex crimes. I have never been convicted for a felony and I have never spent any time in jail for any reason until this event. I have never ridden in an ambulance. I have never undergone long fasts. I have never been on trial, or in court, except in traffic court when I was a young man. Now I have seen all of the hard things of mankind. But none of them were harder than being convicted for a crime that I did not commit. Even so, I knew I must be convicted, in order to fulfill all of the events of prophetic time.

What I saw clearly in this is that the people of the world cannot love us. It is impossible, for they hate our Spirit. It matters not that a crime was not actually committed. It only matters to the earth for the Son of God to be crucified. “Take him away, so that we may continue to live as we please without feeling guilty for our crimes.” The District Attorney made the point to the jury that I was a Messiah, the Son of God, and that infers criminality enough to deserve any punishment in the mind of modern man. A “false Christ” is the greatest of offenses. The jury talks about the charges, but it also feels things, sometimes deep in the heart, beneath what they are willing to account for or perhaps even understand or talk about, and Christ must be crucified afresh to keep those instincts hidden. They think that by killing Christ they can free themselves from conviction and their own personal torments because of him. The jury was a very good picture of the world, and by convicting the Son of God for a crime that he did not commit, as they did with Jesus Christ, they have convicted themselves. It was the world that was on trial, and not I. They revealed their own heart, but they could not reveal mine for they did not know me, nor I know them.

After the verdict, one of the jurors looked over toward my table and mouthed the words, “I am sorry.” At the time of Jesus Christ there were some involved in the crucifixion of Jesus who regretted taking part in it. When the proceedings were over I looked at one of the DAs and I thought I saw a sympathetic look and even a tear. Was I mistaken? I felt like jumping up from my seat and giving him a hug and telling him it was okay for it was all in God’s plan. But I refrained from hugging the man for I thought it was not after the decorum of the court. The court is very stiff and proper, you know, and is never allowed to feel.

When I had previously considered the possibility of being acquitted, I had felt that it would not work to fulfill the Father’s purposes at this end of the world. If the jury had acquitted me for my offenses to them, then God would have to forgive the world for its offenses. My Father in heaven works in symbols, tokens and omens, and this trial is one of the signs for mankind. I had also felt that if there was a hung jury, that would mean that there were still some honest hearts, and if that were the case then the world must necessarily go on. But now that it was unanimous, and all twelve jurors convicted me for a crime that did not actually occur, as was clearly attested to by the DA’s own witnesses, they have judged the world as unworthy of forgiveness from my Father. Their day of destruction was assured. The Father in heaven will now judge them as guilty because they have judged His Son as guilty, calling His Son an impostor, blasphemer, and demon possessed, just as it was at his first appearing nearly 2000 years ago. Now at Christmas time 2008, they have crucified the Son of God afresh. Their Christmas trees and gifts and bright lights will all shout, “Hypocrisy! hypocrisy!” They will have murdered the Christ Child that spoke to them from me, and from within themselves, while professing to worship him.

The Father has been opening to me the reason for all of these things for many months. When the virgins came to me and asked to lie naked on my bed, I told them that this would open up the seven last plagues. It surely did. I told them that this would enrage the natural world. It did. I told one of the young ladies that it might kill me to follow her requests. I asked her, “Would you still ask these things of me if it would kill me?” She said “Yes,” revealing the Spirit that had taken up residence within her. God spoke through her and made His premonition known at that time. The first plague was a great sore, and the sore was my allowing the virgins to lie on my bed naked when they requested that of me. The society at large became very offended at this. They thought I was being sexual, when no sexuality was involved; there was no desire or arousal or anything of the kind. The DA made the whole argument based on the supposition that I probably touched a small part of the soft breast area. Just think, 35 years in the penitentiary for touching a piece of skin on the edge of the breast. No, I did not touch anywhere on the breast, but the imagination, with strong prompting from the DA, convinced the jury to think that I had touched it. For anyone else this supposed crime would not have mattered, but I testified to being the Son of God, and that drove the mob mad. If I had committed no alleged crime, the mob would still have raged at me as it did against Jesus Christ in his own day.

But there is a reason for this, and my heavenly Father told me what it was. The earth is now being prepared for its destruction, as many voices besides my own have affirmed, but it had to first crucify the Son of God again. Jesus was crucified for sedition and for blasphemy. He was falsely accused for these crimes. This is precisely what I have been accused falsely over. I have been accused for breaking the social taboos and not the sex laws of the State. It is not illegal for a minor to lie naked on a bed next to an old man, but the social taboos forbid it. The degraded imaginations fly into a mental conniption fit. I found a penny lying in the bank’s drive-through and was convicted for grand theft and bank robbery. I have been charged with blasphemy, all wrapped up in the wrapper of child sex. No children have accused me of sexual touch or contact. No child has accused me of molestation. I have been accused only by the State of New Mexico for breaking with the social norms, and the public perception was agitated by the media and some offended ex-church members until there was a conviction, just as with Jesus. Nothing offends the religious notions of today as much as child molestation. I also detest that crime. So when I was falsely accused of it, the mob became enraged against me and the District Attorney filed his charges which actually had no basis in fact, but only a basis in the low degraded consciousness of the present generation. Their sex toys and pornographic Web sites, illicit sex, and other spiritual poisons have clouded their right perception and they charge me with their own mental state. They condemn me for their own guilt.

Healed told us that the DA told her that he did not want to pursue me, but that the public outrage forced him to. The mob drove him to it, just as the mob drove Pilate to sanction the crucifixion of Jesus. I have offended the religious notions of this age, just as Jesus offended the religious notions of the people of his own age. Jesus was crucified for it, while I am threatened with years in prison. I was told that I could get 35 years if I touched the edge of the fleshly part of an underage girl’s chest. As it turns out, I didn’t even have to touch the fleshy part of an underaged girl’s chest, it just had to be perceived that I did. In one of our private hearings during the trial, the DA made the case that I did not have to break a law to be convicted. I only had to offend the public perception. I could be tried for breaking social norms even if no law prohibited the acts in the offense. I wondered how medical doctors stay out of jail since they touch underage girls all of the time and in far more intimate places than I have. One who specializes in massage touches far more of a person’s body than I have. Yet, I am the Son of God and that makes any touching unlawful to the natural man. I am a physician of a much higher order than the regular medical doctor, but the State does not recognize God, so my healings are discounted, just as the healings of Jesus were discounted as of the devil by the officials of his day. I would say to the mob this Christmas, “Remember that you don’t love Jesus. Exchange your gifts of plastic and paste, but God does not remember you, for you have forgotten Him by falsely accusing His Son.” God will not forget this act, just as the reader could not forget the murder of his own son by some offended soul. You would not pass over having your kids killed by a molester and God does not pass over His kids being killed and molested either. Do you follow me?

The District Attorneys in this trial reflected the Pharisees of Jesus’ day, who falsely accused him for breaking the laws while he had broken none of them. Emilio Chavez was the star player in the final arguments. He seemed to me so much like the Pharisees of old who argued shrewdly for the crucifixion of Jesus. Just imagine again: it is Christmas time, and the people think that they are worshipping the baby Jesus. But now they crucify the Christ Child afresh in my own personage, without any recognition of it. I am not making any attack on Mr. Chavez as a person. He worked very hard and astutely to prove his point, and prosecutors are supposed to convict. But as in Jesus’ day, the law has no heart, and it has no understanding; and this man was exceptional in personifying those very qualities. He painstakingly tried to make the point that if my hand was on a young woman’s front side it must have just barely touched the fatty tissue of the breast. He belabored the fact as any good religious fanatic would do. He was a perfect example in spirit of a Muslim extremist who might declare a fatwa against this son of God for the possibility of touching the fatty tissue of the breast. That tissue was not touched by me in any way, but Mr. Chavez insisted that it must have been and he strongly implored the jury to find me guilty on all charges. I envisioned a bomb belt around the waist of this man who seemed like a religious extremist to me, just waiting in devoted and delightful anticipation for when he could blow up this offender of public perception with his explosive device. He sees himself as doing God’s work while it is actually the work of the adversary. He is young and just out of college, and his fanatical attacks reminded me of the young Muslims who are eager to kill anyone who might offend their idea of the law. These “legalists” are driven by the fury of the fanatical mob who demands, “Crucify Him, Crucify Him! We have no king (State law) but Caesar.” I believe that this young man had no idea what role he was filling in this last day drama. But I wish to explain the whole drama as it unfolded, and I am taking this time while waiting for my sentencing to share the overall picture and the heavenly portent for these present events.

First of all, the year preceding the trial was very significant. On October 31, 2007 the church celebrated its “liberty” as depicted in Ben Anthony’s movie The End of the World Cult. That day marked the end of the 490th year of the seventy weeks of years since Luther posted his 95 Theses. This prophecy is found in Daniel 9. God directed me to this prophecy in 2000, and the strengthening of the seven year covenant between “Messiah the Prince” and “the people of the Prince” was completed just as prophesied in October of 2007. The date of October 31, 2007 marked the time for the judgment of the world, and for the deliverance of God’s people from the world. This striking prophecy came true just in time and on time. I will explain the events clearly.

In Ben Anthony’s End of the World Cult movie, there was a reference made as to our prediction of the end. He stated in his movie that we predicted the end of the world for October 31, 2007; then he stated that we changed the date to December 15th because the end of the world didn’t come when predicted. This was utterly untrue, but that is the mind of the natural man, for he wanted to twist the prophecy we shared with him so that I might be indicted as a false prophet. He was partially right about the date though. Over the course of the trial and in the media there has been some interest in the prophetic timeline for the Lord Our Righteousness Church, and our predictions of the events we are now in.

The date, October 31, 2007, marked the beginning of the collapse of the monetary system. Money is that river, symbolized by the Euphrates in the book of Revelation, that has protected modern-day Babylon for many decades. I read an article on the Web that clearly defined this moment. It was a comment noting the end time. Ironically the article was entitled, The End.

Most economists predict a recovery late next year. Don’t bet on it.

Then came Meredith Whitney with news. Whitney was an obscure analyst of financial firms for Oppenheimer Securities who, on October 31, 2007, ceased to be obscure. On that day, she predicted that Citigroup had so mismanaged its affairs that it would need to slash its dividend or go bust. It’s never entirely clear on any given day what causes what in the stock market, but it was pretty obvious that on October 31, Meredith Whitney caused the market in financial stocks to crash. By the end of the trading day, a woman whom basically no one had ever heard of had shaved $369 billion off the value of financial firms in the market. Four days later, Citigroup’s C.E.O., Chuck Prince, resigned. In January, Citigroup slashed its dividend.

This article from Portfolio.com made the point that the end began on that infamous day. President Elect Obama declared, “The economy is in a state of emergency.” The river Euphrates is being dried up and the kings of the East are ready to take the city. (Revelation 16:12) Ever since that prophetic day marking the end of the 70 weeks of years, the money system has been coming apart, and truly nothing can put Humpty Dumpty together again. Trillions of dollars are being printed off to try and “bail out” the failing structure, but it is only like throwing gasoline on the fire. Everyone knows that you cannot save a failed system by printing off more money to save it. This is not a recession. It is not even a depression. It is a significant change in the foundation of the society. Every financial system is being dissolved. These systems are based on faith, and that faith is now being utterly destroyed. It is the ruination of the very foundation of our natural society.

The second event that happened on that fateful day was the deliverance of God’s people and their receiving of their inheritance of “God Himself,” just as the Dead Sea Scrolls had prophesied. What followed was the unfolding of this reception in the lives of those who had received it, and the testing of its genuineness. This took the form of Ben’s lying and slanderous movie first, then the CYFD kidnapping and police raid, and then my subsequent trial for alleged sex crimes with minors. What this earthly onslaught and multitude of foaming mouths did for us was to literally drive us right on out of the arms of the natural world. They utterly pushed us right on out of their Egypt. We lost the last remnants of our love for the earth. The last of our earthiness was removed. Even our children cannot stand the natural world and its utter falsehood. We have been left with God only, and nothing of or from the earth in spirit or substance. We received this our inheritance in the year of Jubilee, the 491st year that just ended on October 31, 2008.

In the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles there were seven sacrifices over the first seven days. Then on the eighth day the High Priest sacrificed for himself. It was a sacrifice of himself, and that is what happened on the eighth year, the Jubilee year which ended on October 31, 2008. I was sacrificed in prison and in the court for the State’s falsehoods and misperceptions. This sacrifice endeared me to the people who stood with me, who could feel and discern my sacrifice for them. This all married us together in a perfect union of the Spirit. We are now made fully intimate in the Marriage of the Lamb.

Now we are in the time of destruction. All of the work of the church for itself is completed. The church is sealed in the truth, but the earth will come to its “consummation,” its “termination, full end, complete destruction, annihilation, altogether.” The sealing could not complete itself until Messiah was crucified by the people of earth. It was my crucifixion that completely settled in the minds of the people that the earth is no friend of God or His children. The world hates the testimony of believers because of its own cynical love of unbelief. The natural world hates God and it was perfectly revealed in the earthly attacks upon the Son of God when He appeared in me. I prayed 21 days while in jail for the deliverance of God’s people, as Daniel prayed 21 days for the liberation of Israel from Babylon. But the angels of destruction were told to wait until the people of God were sealed. This is now taking place because of the second crucifixion of Christ. This settles the heart and mind in God’s plan instead of our past love of this earth. It is written: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” 1 John 2:15. When one loves the world, he cannot love God. When one loves God, the world hates him. This is the root of my conviction.

This period of time when everything was completed, is marked by an event prophesied by Daniel in Chapter 12, verse 7.

Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

This event is when everything is finished for the people of God. The work for them is over, and the consummation of Daniel 9, or the annihilation, is assured. This event happened for me as well as for Healed on October 31, 2008. It marked the end of everything. For myself it began on October 30, 2008 when Judge Baca had me arrested for failing to appear at a hearing. I was in a religious fast for the end of the Jubilee which had lasted for 21 days. I was too weak to attend the hearing, so I was arrested. On October 31, 2008, I was in jail with no food or water. I was not permitted to rest upon my bed, so I lay down on the cold cement slab in front of my cell. The judge did not know it, but he extended my fast for 10 more days, since I could not physically tolerate the prison food so high in sugar and devoid of nutrients. I am a vegetarian, so I could not eat the meat and dairy products either. My power was utterly shattered, and Judge Baca also fulfilled his role in this prophetic event.

The name Baca in the Bible means “weeping,” and truly I wept sorely as the mental health staff and the guards looked on. Judge Baca was the source of my tears. The mental health people wanted to help me in my sorrow, but I shared with them that they were not trained for what I was experiencing. Like Jesus upon the cross, my heart cried out very strongly, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?” It was during these 21 days that my Father opened to me the reason for my arrest. I must be taken from the land and “go away” so the Spirit could come more strongly upon the land of Travesser, and they be strengthened still further. “What I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.” John 16:17. This arrest marked the time when everything was finished. The earth would now stand judged and the people of God would now stand fully delivered from earth’s hypnotic enticement and mesmeristic unreality. My people are delivered from pseudo love and much spiritual pretense.

When the beast persecuted the Son, the angels in our land were forever sealed away from the dark natural world so full of pretend, but empty of God’s Grace, because of the terrible revelation of the lie against Him. From October 31st there would now be 45 days until the first anniversary of the 1335, when the jury’s verdict brought the final crucifixion. This occurred on December 15, 2008. Daniel 12:12 reads: “Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.” What is this blessing of the 1335? “Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.” Matthew 5:11. Last year during the time of the 1335, Ben Anthony was spreading his reviling over all of the earth. This year on the anniversary of the 1335, I was convicted of false charges according to the law. Blessed is he who comes to the 1335, for at that time men shall revile you, persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake. And so it was, just as the prophecy declares. This event has forever sealed away my people from the dark pretenses of a world that crucifies its Savior rather than be Healed by Him, because of their utter offense at the lying wonder called “justice” in this world.

This is all on time, and all of these things took place after the end of the 490 year prophetic time. What we are in now is the time prophesied: “And upon the wing of abominations shall come one who utterly destroys everything, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.” We are now in the time of the final consummation, or annihilation. The people of God are now safe in Spirit from the destroyer, for he has not been able to destroy their Life in God, but the earth will be annihilated. The jury and the court played an integral part in these events. They have perfectly portrayed the spiritual realities, acting out a living parable at center stage beneath the great universal spotlight, just like in the trial of Jesus. Jesus was the pattern man, and he has revealed the pattern of our events perfectly. As the world accused him, so they have accused me, and now my Father will be the Accuser. My trial was carried out under the seal of New Mexico with the image of an eagle emblazoned upon it. In the Scriptures the eagle is “the beast” as are all animals. The eagle is a predator and fitly represents the State of New Mexico in its predation of our communion of believers.

There has been a good deal of mockery in regard to our lives here. Cynicism is the rule and not the exception in our modern order of things. That is how God’s movements have always been received in the earth; it is only a very small remnant who can grasp the spiritual significance of the moment. The mob is without any knowledge, but only stands consumed in its utter disbelief and willful blindness.

We are now seeing a mirror of the destruction of Jerusalem after Jesus’ trial. When Jesus was falsely accused and crucified, it marked the ending of a distinct 490 year period and the ensuing destruction of Jerusalem. Now again, in this worldwide confusion over me, everything is being played out again. “Every eye shall see him,” and surely every eye does see me over hundreds of media outlets. My offenses are international news. My words are posted everywhere. Little offended upstarts post words on the Internet attributed to me, trying to prove I had sex with some kids, or some other offense in their fanatical fury. If one soul puts down their dirty and offended flag, someone else is sure to pick it up. I am made sad over their utter spiritual deadness, for they are truly in the midst of destroying their own souls. What they do to me, they ensure for themselves. “For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.” Matthew 7:2. God will be certain to judge each soul in just the same way that they have judged His Son.

My Father in heaven sent me to offend men, and they are offended. The nations mourn, as it is written, because they see the sign of the Son of Man in heaven (the spiritual community). They gnash their teeth at me as it is written. They call for their legal rocks and mountains to hide their eyes from my face, but it is all in vain. My truth goes right down into their dark holes and burns them in their own fire. They are offended in me, and they do not know why, but it is because they are exposed by the light that I have given. The nations are angry but I am impossible to bring down. If they could kill me, more would sprout up where I stood. My Spirit, the Spirit of Michael, cannot be killed. I AM everywhere, and men rage against me. This judges them, and my Father will accuse them falsely for crimes that they did not commit because they accused me for crimes that I did not commit.

Those who hate me most are the pornographic and the incestuous. They judge me out of their own dark hearts, attributing to me what they would do, or from the crimes of their own imagination. They know nothing of the purity of the Spirit of Michael. The wrath that they cast upon me, however, will come back upon themselves. I swear it by the One Who lives forever and ever, for I am His Son. He has told me these things, and I know them as well as I know my own name. The Father in heaven declared to me, “You are Messiah” just as He declared to Jesus at his baptism, “This day I have begotten you.” Many testified as to the appearing of Jesus the Messiah, as many have testified as to my appearing in the same way. History has repeated itself, and the second coming of Christ has come to pass, but it has only enraged the mob and sent the earth into hysterics and fanatical reprisals.

But many love me. They know I am from God and they rejoice for my word, for they love my Spirit. They shall not lose their reward. I will bless them as they have blessed me. I will reward them as they have rewarded me. I will not ever cast them off, for my Father asked them, “What do you think of My Son?” and they have answered, “I have loved Him and the Spirit that he is motivated by.” Because I have been accepted and my words believed by them, my Father will accept them.

This is the time when the sheep and goats are now being separated. Those who have come into the marriage with God are being counted. It is the marriage of my Spirit with theirs. The earth will continue now to collapse, and my people will continue to ascend. The whole world is being called into account now, and every man judged.

“What would Jesus do? Would he do what Michael Travesser has done?” Indeed he would, and He did, for he did it in me. “When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.” 2 Thess 1:10.

I was recently sent a transcript of these prophetic words that I spoke in September of 2000. They are surely now fulfilled:

How is it that one knows Me? The Father Himself tells you. You need to ask Him, for that’s the only way you’ll know. And now you can see why, because Messiah is outrageous. Everyone is willing to receive a Messiah that provides a land, keeps the economy stable, binds up families, keeps everyone’s needs met, and gives them a hope to live in. It is attractive to the lovers of loaves and fishes. But will you be able to bear what the Father is bringing here, or are you so unacquainted with His Voice that you will run in terror? Your only security is to be quiet on the bosom of the Father, with your mouth shut. This would have saved the disciples from great embarrassment.

Do you believe in Me, really? It is easier to believe when Messiah is strong up front, but few believe when the cross comes. Men don’t mind dying for a cause, but would you go to a cross for a Messiah who is considered an adulterer, a criminal or a Sabbath breaker? When the newspaper gets a hold of this and people ask you, “Do you support this guy?” What will you say? You will be tested as to whether you will follow the Lamb whithersoever He goes. Do you think He’s going to whisk you off, and you haven’t even been tested? Michael, September 16, 2000 Sabbath, The Second Outrageous Coming of Messiah

Ellen White, a 19th century prophetess wrote these words below that constantly prove the present day covenant with this age and its second Messiah:

But He (Jesus) stepped still lower; the man must humble Himself as a man to bear insult, reproach, shameful accusations, and abuse. There seemed to be no safe place for Him in His own territory. He had to flee from place to place for His life. He was betrayed by one of His disciples; He was denied by one of His most zealous followers. He was mocked. He was crowned with a crown of thorns. He was scourged. He was forced to bear the burden of the cross. He was not insensible to this contempt and ignominy. He submitted, but, oh! He felt the bitterness as no other being could feel it. He was pure, holy, and undefiled, yet arraigned as a criminal! The adorable Redeemer stepped down from the highest exaltation. Step by step He humbled Himself to die–but what a death! It was the most shameful, the most cruel, the death upon the cross as a malefactor. He did not die as a hero in the eyes of the world, loaded with honors, as men in battle. He died as a condemned criminal [he came as a thief], suspended between the heavens and the earth–died a lingering death of shame, exposed to the tauntings and revilings of a debased, crime-loaded, profligate multitude! “All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head.” Ps. 22:7. He was numbered with the transgressors, He expired amid derision, and His kinsmen according to the flesh disowned Him. His mother beheld His humiliation, and He was forced to see the sword pierce her heart. He endured the cross, despised the shame. He made it of small account in consideration of the results that He was working out in behalf of, not only the inhabitants of this speck of a world, but the whole universe, every world which God had created. 5BC 1127

Just now men will read my words as contemptible. They are offended that I profess to be the Son of God. But men also held Jesus in contempt when he too testified that God was his Father in the highest sense. They said that he was demon possessed just as men accuse me. I have not lied to this generation. I have told the truth and the people have crucified me for the very same reasons they crucified Jesus. He came against and failed to observe the present social order and its standards. He broke the law from their own viewpoint. He blasphemed by saying that he was the one who was to come. In his trial false witnesses were used. When the DA brought his accusations against me, he quoted many of my haters over things that had nothing to do with the case – “He said this,” or “He did that” – just as they accused Jesus. Little did they, and do they now know, that they have judged themselves. When I went to trial, it was their own souls that sat in the judgment seat. They have exposed themselves for who they are, and their doom is made certain by the actions of their own heart and mind.

At the time of Jesus the whole Jewish world awaited their Messiah. When he came they rejected him. In this age the whole Christian world has awaited the Messiah. When He came into my person they rejected Him also, and for the same reasons that Jesus was rejected. The Father sent me as the “Sign of the Son of Man.” He said, “The earth has had two thousand years to understand My appearing. I will now send My Son a second time in human flesh to see if they have learned anything from history. I will give them this second chance so that all men might receive Him into themselves.” Sadly, the people learned nothing from history, but crucified Christ again, just as if he had never come the first time. They keep the various laws and feasts, but they cannot love the Spirit of divinity. They have only proven that they hate God, for when His Son appeared, they indicted him as a thief. But they were warned: “Behold, I come as a thief.” The word “thief” here means: “an embezzler, false teachers, who do not care to instruct men, but abuse their confidence for their own gain.” This is what my enemies accuse me of. This is how I am publicly perceived. This is how the Christ was prophesied to come, and I came just as it is written, but men would not be warned so they insured their own destruction. It is heartbreaking, but it is as stated in the Word of God.

I now await my sentencing. I have no fear of what man can do to me. The great men of God in past ages have been beheaded, as was the apostle Paul. Peter was crucified, as was Jesus. Many thousands of believers were burned at the stake by the Roman Catholic powers for their faith in God during the Middle Ages. The Jews stoned Stephen to death. “Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.” Luke 6:22-23.
