Chapter 6

Why should we trust in the Divine Providence of God? Why should we cast out weapons of non-conformity in complete surrender to His will? Why accept all that God may send us? Why should we be slow to anger?

Revelation 17-8, "...And the inhabitants of the earth whose name had not been written in the Book of Life, from the foundation of the world..." Revelation 20-12, "...And another book was opened which is the Book of Life..." Mat. 25-34, "...Come, blessed of my father, take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world..."

These Scriptures tell us that since the foundation of the world, God knew the names of those who will enter into eternal life. This is a prophecy, a prediction of future events. More than this it is a revelation, which is an astonishing disclosure.

This does not surprise me, as I know God sees all things. Yet, it is important to see here that God must have a plan for each and everyone of us whose name has been written in the Book of Life. His plan is that, "His will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven."

So we must of our own free will stop our foolish attempts to fight against God's will by non-conformity. We must of our own free will, mirror the image of God's likeness, as we were designed to do. In the end, His will shall be done on earth.

In Revelation 1-8, God says, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, who is, and who was and who is coming, the Almighty." Revelation 21-6-8, "It is done! I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water from the fountain of the Water of Life. He who conquers (this world) shall have this heritage, and I will be his God, and he shall be My son. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters and all liars, their lot shall be the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

Revelation 22-13-14, "Behold, I come quickly! And my reward is with me, to render to each one according to his work, (those who work and do not work in the Scriptures, and do so accordingly). I am Alpha and Omega , the beginning and the end! Blessed are they who wash their robes that they may have the right to the Tree of Life..." There is more in Revelation 22-15-17. It is important here that we understand the meaning of "Blessed are they who wash their robes that they may have the right to the Tree of Life," Revelation 22-14.

1Co. 6-9-11, "Or do you not know that the unjust will not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, not the effeminate, nor sodomites, nor thieves, not the covetous, not drunkards, not the evil tongued, nor the greedy will possess the kingdom of God. And such were some of you, but you have been washed, you have been sanctified, you have been justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God."

Revelation 1-5, "...And from Jesus Christ who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who has loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood..."

Revelation 7-13-17, "And one of the elders spoke and said to me, 'these who are clothed in the white robes, who are they? And where have they come from?' And I said to him, "My Lord you know. And he said to me, 'These are they who have come out of great tribulation, (tribulation, to endurance, to tried virtue, to hope which does not disappoint because the charity of God pours forth into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given us, Romans 5-3-5) and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple, and He who sits upon the throne will dwell with them, They shall never hunger nor thirst any more, neither shall the sun strike them, or any heat. For the Lamb, (Jesus) who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them, and will guide them to the fountains of the Water of Life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

So if we are told that these evil people will not enter the kingdom of God, and we know that the kingdom of God is within us, then those who do such evils will not enter into interior life. Those who have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb, (Jesus) are they who will enter interior life, that place inside of us where the thief can not steal nor the moth consume. That place inside where our soul recognizes it's creator, because we reflect (just as Job and Abraham and the man I wrote about by grace) the mirror image of Our Creator. We that reflect the mirror image of God live according to the Law of God, the Commandments. We seek Him in the Scriptures and pray in hope that does not disappoint, for the charity of God is poured forth into our hearts, by the Holy Spirit that has been given us. In this we again recognize Our Creator, and we have washed our sins in the blood of the Lamb.

So they who truly enter into interior life do so by keeping the Commandments of God. Who then are they who truly keep the Commandments of God? And who are they who have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb? Revelation 12-17, "And the dragon was angered at the woman, and went away to wage war with the rest of Her offspring, who keep the Commandments of God, and hold fast to the testimony of Jesus."

So then, should we not honor thy Father and thy Mother in heaven, which is the "True" Commandment of God. Where is the womb? Where is Mary, the woman so many refuse to give a just due? Do you still not understand that it shall be done on earth as it is in heaven? How then will you enter into interior life? There must be a mother and a father, to conceive. This is the natural order of things.

Note: I will discuss this issue in more depth in another chapter.

So then if we can acccept these things and we believe in the One True God, then we are entering into the narrow gate which is interior life. For those who search in hope in this dwelling place they shall not be disappointed, once they have gone the course. In this dwelling place God gives great gifts, gifts which can not be taken away from us. These gifts will come as we nurture the seed to know Him better, regardless of tribulation. Because our names have been written in the Book of Life, because we have overcome this world, and because we have washed our robes in the blood of the Lamb, we will come to take possession of the kingdom prepared for us since the foundation of the world.
