Notebook 105 True Life in God 1081
Christ marches with majesty
across this desert,
and He makes the earth rock,
to announce His imminent return;
But the people have not understood;
some say: “Christ is coming
in flesh and bone”;
others argue groundlessly,
“God will come and smash
the heads of His enemies;”
- but they have not understood
the Psalms ...
Like the phantoms of a midnight dream,
they wonder; in the beginning too
I had simply failed to understand,
even though I was constantly
in Your Presence; even when You held
my right hand to write;
It is written: “The Lord gives
His couriers the news ...”
and so He does ...
When God’s Footsteps approach
and are heard, the virtuous rejoice,
exulting and singing for joy;
they say: “build a road
for the Rider of the Clouds,
rejoice in Christ, exult at His coming!”
At Noah’s time the heavens deluged
at Your coming...at the coming of God ...
but had not seen You in flesh and bone ...
And now, the earth will be put aflame
with Your Son’s return;
at the coming of God ...
Christ will descend from the heights;
Just as thousands of myriads
of divine chariots
You, Lord, had left Sinai
for Your sanctuary;
David said: “God, You have ascended
to the height, and captured prisoners,
You have taken men as tribute,
yes, taken rebels
to Your dwelling, Yahweh ...”1
1 Ps. 68:18.
but they had not seen You
in flesh and bone ...
yet You were there ...
When You approach the virtuous
and they rejoice, they do not see You
in flesh and bone ... but You are there;
When You had set Yourself then
at the head of Your people,
and marched across the desert,
You did not come in flesh and bone ...
yet You were there ...
and so it will be when Christ, in our days,
declares that His Return is imminent ...
the heavens and the earth will be set aflame
and He shall turn the hearts of fathers
towards their children
and the hearts of children
towards their fathers ...
yet, no one will see You
in Flesh and Bone ...
Love will return as love ...
for all of us will be in the True God,
Consuming Fire, Triune and Holy ...
2you have now given a spiritual
testament; this will be the road of My
imminent return ... My return will renew
you and free many of you from your
transgression; when the renewal takes
place many will be vested with Myself
and all the saints and angels will give
thanks for the gift of My Holy Spirit;
what is the Day of the Lord? those
who have and are persistently rebelling
against Me will taste that Day and all it
bears; it will come upon those
transgressors as sudden as a
thunderbolt, and like a fearful fire they
will be turned into human torches; yes,
the earth, as you said, will be set aflame
and their consciousness will be revealed
to them as a revelation; My divine fire
will turn the inflexible heart into a
lenient heart in My Day; the earth in
agony will become fully aware in
2 Now, Christ speaks.
