The Last Supper

CHAPTER 88

Yeshua has his last supper with his Apostles at which time he institutes the sacrament. -Yeshua washes each of his Apostles feet as he explains "no master is greater than his servant." -The nature of Elohim is explained as well as the promise and fullness of the Holy Spirit. -Yeshua explains that people of the world will persecute the Children of Light. -Yeshua asks Salome to sing for them with her beautiful, angelic voice.

Institution of the Sacrament

 1 That evening they supped together at the table and Yeshua broke the bread and blessed it, then gave a piece to each of them, saying, “As you eat this bread, remember my physical body which has labored tirelessly for your good.  In that memory be inspired to do no less in your labors for the good of your brothers and sisters in the light.

 2 When I am no more upon this Earth, let the Children of Light meet together each week and pass the bread among them that they might eat it in remembrance of the life I have lived for them, and covenant in their hearts to follow my example, and uplift and do much good for one another.”

 3 Then Yeshua took the wine and poured it into a cup, and gave thanks to the divine Father and Mother for the fertile earth upon which the grapes grew and the farmers that tended and harvested them into fullness.

 4 And he blessed it, and said unto them, “Take this cup and pour the wine among you; each into your own cup; and drink it in remembrance of my blood which shall be shed for you; 

 5 Not upon the cross at Calvary where mortality simply shall breathe its last breath, but upon the tree at Gethsemane where the torment of all wickedness shall be suffered; that those who repent of their sins and live the Celestine Light might be freed from the full anguish they would otherwise be called to bear.

 6 With every small sip of the wine contemplate this sacred sacrifice and commit to live your life worthy of the holy gift you are given. 

 7 Let this become a ritual with the Children of Light when they meet together each week to edify one another and grow in the light: that they would be pure of heart, holding malice toward none of their brothers or sisters; and eat of the bread and drink of the wine in remembrance of me, and in this, renew their covenants with Elohim and to one another.”

Yeshua Washes the Apostle's Feet

 8 When the supper was finished, Yeshua went over to the wash basin, and removing all of his clothes he washed himself; then emptied the basin.

 9 Girding himself with only a loin cloth, he took the basin and poured clean water into it; then went over to Miriam and removing her sandals from her feet, he washed them.

 10 No one spoke as he washed Miriam's feet and the other Apostles knew not what to make of it. 

 11 When he was finished, Yeshua went to Cephas, and knelt down before him and took his foot to remove his sandal, but Cephas withdrew his foot from Yeshua's hand and forbid him to wash his feet, saying, “It cannot be Yeshua.  I cannot allow you to wash my feet.  It is I who am your disciple and should be the one that washes your feet.”

 12 Yeshua answered him, saying, “You have heard me say that the greatest among you must serve the least if you are to come unto the heavenly kingdom of Celestine Light, and so I come to wash your feet that you may know my love for you is simple and pure, and in my service to you I have happiness.

 13 Do not deny me this Cephas.  For if you do not allow me to wash your feet, you have understood nothing that I have taught you and must part from among us even this moment.”

 14 Cephas was startled by Yeshua's words and the seriousness with which he gave them, and quickly agreed to his request, “Well then, please wash not just my feet, but also my head and hands as well!"

 15 In a more jovial tone Yeshua replied, “You can bathe yourself good Cephas.  I am satisfied with the honor of washing your feet.”  At his words there was light laughter among them, notwithstanding the sacredness of the moment.

 16 Then Yeshua went one by one to all of the other Apostles, washing their feet.

 17 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and asked them, "Do you understand what I have done for you?

 18 You call me your teacher and the Lord of Light, and rightly so, for that is what I am.

 19 Now that you have seen that I, your teacher, whom you have called the Lord of Light, have washed your feet, see that you also wash one another's feet, especially in moments of great sacredness or importance.

 20 As I have done for you, so should you do for one another; that humility may ever be one of your greatest strengths- a strength that bonds you together in the Celestine Light of Elohim.

 21 Verily, no master is greater than his servant, nor is a messenger less than the one who sent him. 

 22 For the greatness of each person is testified to every day, not by their station in life, or their knowledge, or wealth, or fame, but by the simple purity of their heart and the honest, humble light shining in their life as they seek to do good.

 23 Now that you understand these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

 24 Remember as you go forth in the world to love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  

 25 By this all men will know that you, and all of the Children of Light, are my disciples, if you love one another with a pure and humble love.

 26 And in this you will have a sanctuary of peace beyond the comprehension of the world.  One that will support you and uphold you, even in your darkest hours.

Apostles Missions Beyond Palestine

 27 Now in the past, when you have gone into towns before me, I have asked you to go without bags or staff or money, and even without sandals if you had none.  In this, did you lack anything?”

 28 And the Apostles answered him that they lacked nothing.

 29 “But now when I am gone, you will be traveling two by two, or three by three, to lands near and far, and I say unto you that he who has bags, or a staff, or money, let him take them, for as you have, so will you find a need to fill- equal to that which you have; both for yourselves and the Children of Light whom you shall meet.

Methods of Self-defense

 30 And in the past, most of you have gone without staffs, feeling safe near your home in the land of your people. But now, you shall travel beyond the places that you know and the protection of the Roman peace, and for some who are not yet adept in the use of their spiritual gifts, a stout staff will be a welcome companion.

 31 If you cultivate harmony in your soul, though all the world may be your enemy, in it you will find mostly friends.  And a peaceful and loving spirit will insure your safety more than all else you can do in most circumstances. Therefore, most often, you should first endure much in peace before you respond in opposition.

 32 But sometimes violence will come suddenly upon you, and often by those who know not your sweet spirit and care naught for your peaceful ways.

 33 Elohim does not ask you to go as sheep meekly to the slaughter, for you can do far more good every day that you live. 

 34 If unopposed, those who would prey on the meek are emboldened to prey on others, but those who are opposed with greater strength will prey on the helpless no more.

 35 Therefore, when despite your loving spirit and peaceful ways, the minions of darkness would still rape your wife, steal your goods, compel you into slavery, or commit any other grievous sin against you, do not hesitate to oppose them justly and in equal measure, by whatever means you are capable. 

 36 But if it is your life, or the life of your family, or your brothers and sisters of light that they seek to take, then you are justified to mete out to them that which they sought to deliver upon you, by whatever means you are capable.

 37 For this cause you should daily cultivate your gifts of the Celestine Light that can stand with hidden power in opposition to the unrighteous.

 38 If you have attained a level of competence, always use your abilities within the Celestine Light rather than traditional means of physical defense, because by this you can preserve your life without taking the life of another.

 39 But if you do not yet have faith in your gifts of power, do not simply stand idly by praying for deliverance when you are attacked by those who would take all that you have, even your life and the lives of those that you love.

 40 But take a sword or staff to hand, call upon Elohim for strength, and be not hesitant to protect your life or the lives of those that you love from the minions of darkness who would take them or enslave them.

 41 Yet, if you will heed the inner voice of your secret guardian, seldom will be the times when you are in danger.  As you travel, listen to the voice of the spirit of the divine Mother ever warning you and directing you to protected places. 

 42 Avoid trouble whenever you can, even if it means a delay in your journey or a arrival at a different destination.  Though it may be a different location than you had planned, it will be the right place for you to be to serve Elohim and fulfill your goals.

 43 Trust the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit to guide you and you will always be delivered into safety; even when at times it may seem that all is lost.

 44 When trouble does come upon you, your powers of the Celestine Light will protect you if you have faith in yourself and are in harmony with the light.  But if you do not have faith in your gifts of spirit, trust the strength in your arm, the quickness of your mind and the courage in your heart. 

 45 Do not be troubled about this, for though you desire only to live in peace and harmony, the spirits of the men of the world are moved by darkness, and there is no peace in their hearts save the peace in which they perceive advantage over others.

 46 Trust in your divine Father, trust in your divine Mother; trust in me, and trust also in yourself in the gifts and abilities you have been given, and all will be well.

Relationship and Nature of the Elohim Explained

 47 Nor tremble because I will no longer walk among you or think that I shall not come back for you.  When I am gone the Holy Spirit shall fill your heart in a joyous and splendid way that shall make you closer to the Elohim than you have ever been, even more than now when you sit in my presence.

 48 As I have labored tirelessly for you upon the Earth, so shall I labor in heavenly realms of the Celestine Light. In my Father's house are many lands of beauty and wonder, and upon them many mansions of splendor. I am going there to prepare a place for you.

 49 And if I go to prepare a place for you, it is because I will come back for you and take you to be with me; that you also may be where I am.

 50 You know the way to the place where I am going.  Hold fast to the straight and narrow path and soon we shall be together again in paradise.”

 51 But hearing his words Toma was confused and said unto him, “Lord of Light, we know you are going to the Celestine Realms, and we know that it is a paradise beyond description.  But we have only seen it from the pictures your words have described and in truth we know it not, therefore how can we know the way to come there?”

 52 Yeshua answered him, saying, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to heavenly glory except through me, by living the Celestine Light that I have brought. 

 53 If you know me and follow the example I have given, and live the teachings I have taught, you are on the path that leads to eternal glory.”

 54 Then Philip asked him, “Yeshua, can you show us the divine Father and the divine Mother or tell us what they look like, and how they speak and what they do? This would mean so much to us”

 55 Yeshua answered him, saying, “Philip, I love you greatly, but have you been with me so long and yet still you do not fully know me even at this, the last hour?

 56 How can you ask for me to show you the divine Father or the divine Mother or ask how they speak or what they do? 

 57 Verily, if you know me, you know them, for I am in them and they live in me. The words that I speak are not my words, but their words.  And the things that I do are not my acts, but their acts.

 58 Know with a sureness the truth when I say that I am in my Father and Mother and they are in me. 

 59 As you see me, so you see them.  As you hear me, so you hear them.  More than this will be a discovery unique to each person, as will be the Father and Mother they both see and hear.

 60 For those who have not this testimony, let them believe in Elohim through the miracles you have seen me do, which great things could only have come from the love of the divine Father and the Mother.

 61 But listen well to my words, for verily I say unto you that any of you that have faith in me without wavering, and ask what you will of our divine Mother and Father, in my name, you will be able to do all the miracles I have done and ever greater than these. 

 62 Because I am going to the Celestine Realms to again be in the presence of my Mother and Father and be one with them in the Celestine Light, joined in one place, and I will be your advocate.

 63 Therefore, whatsoever righteous thing you ask of them in prayer, in my name, that is of the light, I shall ask them to fulfill.  And because I will be your advocate, that which you asked shall be fulfilled.

 64 And in this shall men come to know me through you, and knowing me, they will come to know the Celestine Light and glory of my Mother and Father in heaven.

Promise of the Fullness of the Holy Spirit

 65 Now you have heard me speak of the Holy Spirit.  Listen now as I tell you more of the secrets that the world will never understand.

 66 Since I have been among you, if you had a question you would come to me in person and ask it, and in person I would answer.

 67 So too, you have seen the miracles I have done, and can bear witness with the words of your mouths to that which your eyes have actually seen and your ears have actually heard.

 68 But when I am gone to the Celestine Realms, another comforter will come upon you in fullness, even the Holy Spirit, who shall touch your soul with a sure knowledge of the Celestine Light beyond the comprehension of the flesh.

 69 This is the united spirit of the trinity of Elohim given unto the Children of Light, but it comes to you through the essence of the divine Mother.  She will bring to you a testimony of the light that is even greater than the flesh you have felt, or the miracles you have both seen and heard.

 70 From time to time, you have felt the spirit of the divine Mother move within you and you know that it brings a feeling of joy, peace and contentment not of this world.

 71 So too have you been in times of need and the Holy Spirit came and comforted you.

 72 While I have been among you, the occasional touch of the spirit of her essence from the heart and oneness of the Elohim was sufficient for your needs.

 73 But now that I will no longer to be with you in the flesh, it must needs be that you and all the Children of Light who have found the path, are given the greater comforter of the Holy Spirit.

 74 The people of the world will never believe in the Holy Spirit of the divine Mother for they cannot see her, or feel her within their bosom.

 75 But you shall know her; and all the Children of Light who walk the path shall know her.  For after the baptism of water will come the baptism of fire, even the baptism of the Holy Spirit- when the oneness of the Elohim shall come over you and you will know that which the eyes cannot see and the ears cannot hear.

 76 A knowledge you cannot touch or give to others, yet so complete that it shall fill every fiber of your being.

 77 And once so filled you will never again be empty; once so found, you will never again be lost; once so empowered you will never again be powerless, as long as you stay true to the path of Celestine Light.

 79 More than this- know that the testimony that comes from the Holy Spirit will be greater than the testimony you have gained from all that you have seen and all that you have heard.

 80 For the things which you have seen and heard were given to the understanding of your mind and your heart.  But when you are filled each moment with the bliss of the Holy Spirit, your soul is enraptured beyond the understanding of your heart or your mind.

 81 You have heard me say that I am going to die and resurrect and ascend into heaven, but that I will come back to you.

 82 Know that it is through the Holy Spirit of Elohim, which comes by the Mother, that this will be so.  For I am in her and she is in me, and she will teach you all things you have need of, and remind you of everything I have ever spoken to you or revealed unto you.

 83 Through the Holy Spirit I shall come again unto you and we shall never be parted; for the union of spirit is greater than my presence in flesh.”

 84 Then Yeshua paused for a moment and looked at each of his Apostles one after another as if waiting for them to ask a question.  But they all seemed too amazed by everything he had spoken and remained quiet waiting for him to speak again. 

The Vine and Branches

 85 “I am the vine of truth and light; you are the branches; and my Father and Mother in heaven are the gardeners. Remain in me, and I will remain in you.  And if I am in you, so shall the light be also.

 86 But the gardeners shall cut off every branch that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit they will prune so that it will be even more fruitful.

 87 Remember that no branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain on the vine. Neither can you bear the delicious fruit of the true Celestine Light of Elohim unless you remain true to me in the light.

 88 If a man remains in me, he will live the principles and teachings of the Celestine Light and bear much fruit.  But apart from the light nothing can grow.

 89 There are many in the world that walk in the Celestine Light that will never know my name in this life. But they are still a part of my vine because they live within the light that I am.

 90 But you have been nurtured and given so much more, for you are a branch that knows the vine that gives it life.

 91 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, and you live the Celestine Light that fills you, ask whatever you wish of the divine Mother and Father, in my name, that is of the light, and it will be given to you.

 92 This is the joy of my Father and Mother, that you would bear much fruit, living the Celestine Light and teaching others to do the same by both precept and example.

 93 As my Father and Mother love me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

 94 If you live the Celestine Light I have brought, you will always feel my love, just as I have lived the Celestine Light of the Elohim as it was revealed to me by my Father and Mother and have always felt their love.

 95 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete in me.

 96 Seldom have I ever given a command unto you, preferring to teach you as I have asked you to teach- by precept and example.

 97 But now I give a command unto you and my command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

 98 And greater love has no one than this; that he would lay aside his own life to help those whom he loves.

 99 Everything that I learned from my Father and Mother that you can use and benefit from, I have made known to you. Now has come the time to marry experience with all that you know.

 100 You did not choose me; but I chose you; and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will last.

 101 Live fully with love and joy in the Celestine Light. Bear fruit to be savored and our divine Father and Mother will give you whatever you ask in my name.

 102 Remember my command: Love each other.

People of the World Will Persecute the Children of Light

 103 After washing, everyone retired for the night on mats on the floor.  The following day, Yeshua spoke to them again, saying, "If the people of the world despise you and persecute you, keep in mind that many hated me and fought against me first.

 104 If you were like the people of the world - if you dressed like them, and ate like them, and acted and spoke like them, they would love you as their own.

 105 But you are not of this world.  You are Children of Light who have come from a realm of greater glory, and have remembered who you are.  And I have chosen you out of the world and given you secret knowledge and shown you your gifts.

 106 That is why the world will disparage and persecute you; because you are not like them; and care not for the things that they cherish. And you hold secrets and gifts which they will never know.

 107 Remember the words I spoke to you: No master is greater than his servant.  If they persecuted me, surely they will persecute you also.

 108 They will treat you this way because of me and the teachings I have brought; for they do not know the divine ones who sent me, and they are afraid of that which they do not know or understand.

 109 In this place, the Sanhedrin are the most guilty, but you will encounter the persecutors in diverse places beyond your communities. 

 110 If I had not come and spoken to the Sanhedrin and shown many miracles to them, they would not be as guilty.  Now, however, they have no excuse for their ignorance or actions.

 111 They have heard the truth and seen the miracles, and yet they hate me.  They say that I am a blasphemer and that they are defending the one God.  But I say unto you that he who hates me, hates the loving Mother and Father who sent me.

 112 For my divine Mother and Father have so loved the children of men that they have sent me to come to them, that all those who repent and live in the Celestine Light might be freed from the long suffering of sin to which their resonance would otherwise call them.

 113 The people of the world will hear the voices of their priests for that is all that they know or want to know.  And they will put you out of their synagogues and towns and lands, for that is what their priests will tell them to do. 

 114 And the time will come when anyone who thinks to kill you will think he is offering a service to God. Therefore beware, and seek out quiet places away from the world where the communities of the Children of Light can live in peace and harmony.

 115 The people of the world will do such things because they have not known the Father, the Mother, or me.

 116 If you are the light, you are not like them.  Your very existence- the way you eat, dress, speak and act- so different from their ways, refutes their darkness, even if you do not speak a word to them. 

 117 In the muddle of the darkness they think to destroy you; the living evidence of the light; thinking that to do so will make them no longer seem to be in the darkness.

 118 I have told you this, so that when the time comes that you are persecuted, you will remember that I warned you and be prepared.

 119 I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.  But when I am gone you will have the greater presence of the Holy Spirit to guide you, and the Angel of the Covenant to protect you from the onslaughts of those in darkness.”

Grief Will Turn to Joy

 120 After this talk everyone took a break and several of the Apostles went for walks to contemplate all that they had heard.  When they returned, Yeshua spoke again unto them saying, “I have heard you talking with one another as you have walked about.

 121 Most of you seem very sad in your thoughts and in your hearts because of the short time of anguish that will soon be upon me and because of the persecution I have spoken about that will come.

 122 This is not something to grieve about, for the travails of the mortal body are here today and gone tomorrow.  Instead, rejoice in the eternal principles of repentance, righteousness and resurrection that are being firmly established.

 123 And how can you worry about persecution when you have the love of all of your brothers and sisters, the haven of your communities, the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the protection of the Angel of the Covenant- the servant of the Elohim?

 124 Yes, you will grieve for a little time in the coming days.  But your grief will turn to joy.

 125 A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born her anguish is forgotten and replaced with joy that lasts beyond time, because of her precious child born into the world.

 126 So it is with you. A time of grief will soon be upon you, but I will see you again soon and you will rejoice, and no one will ever take away your joy.

 127 I have told you these things, not to make you afraid, but that you will know to ever seek me out with your words and in your heart, so that in me you will always have peace through the love and comfort of the Holy Spirit.

 128 In this world you will have some trouble. But take heart! I am in you and you are in me, and I have overcome the world."

 129 Yeshua paused again in his speaking and Miriam stood up saying, “Salome comes.”  And she went downstairs to meet her so that Teiuxra the Persian would allow her to pass.

 130 When Salome entered the room where the other Apostles were with Yeshua, some immediately began to grumble among themselves because of her presence. 

 131 Yeshua, hearing their words, asked, “Why do I hear words of disharmony because of the presence of Salome?”

 132 Cephas answered for the Apostles, saying, “We wonder why she who is not one of the twelve you have called is among us at this most sacred time of our unity.

 133 And we wonder why, if she is here, that our wives cannot also be here to keep us company and hear your words.”

 134 Looking about, Yeshua answered with some humor, saying, “It is unlikely that we would all fit in this room Cephas.  And if we did, surely the floor would collapse from all of our weight.”

 135 The Apostles, including Cephas, laughed at Yeshua's words, and he continued his reply in seriousness, saying, “Salome is soon to lose the life she has known with both me and Miriam.  At least in the way she has known it. 

 136 She has brought great happiness to our family and we wanted to give to her just a few more days of the Yeshua and Miriam she has known before all is changed. 

 137 And you must know that the relationship she has with me and Miriam has brought her closer to the Celestine Light than the wife of any other can be. 

 138 Though she is not one of the twelve by calling, she has mastered the gifts of the Adept.  And verily I say unto you, the day shall soon come when you will owe your success and freedom to her mastery of the powers of Celestine Light. 

 139 Lastly, I have asked her to be with us and share one of her most special gifts.  Please accept her in perfect harmony.  This I ask.”

 140 Cephas and all of the Apostles looked down at the words of Yeshua and were humbled because of the thoughts they had to exclude Salome.  After a moment they all welcomed her with sincerity to be among them and she thanked them with kind words and grace. 

Yeshua Prays for Himself

 141 “I would like to pray now my brethren,” Yeshua said.  “And I would ask that all of you would join me in a Circles of Power that you might feel the depth of my soul.”

 142 Upon Yeshua's request everyone stood, and Miriam, Salome, and all of the Apostles gathered into a Circles of Power.  After a short prayer led by Cephas, they quickly began to swirl a vortex of energy between them.

 143 When the vortex became a peaceful light, Yeshua prayed, saying, “My divine Mother and Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.

 144 You have granted me authority over all people that I might give eternal life to all, and eternal exaltation and glory to those who repent of their sins and live the Celestine Light of Elohim I have brought to the world.

 145 I have brought the fullness of your light to the earth and have almost completed the work you gave me to do.

 146 Now, precious Mother and Father, prepare to receive me into your presence with the glory and joy I had with you before the world began.

Yeshua Prays for His Apostles

 147 I have revealed you and your secrets to those in this room whom you blessed that we might be one in spirit and purpose, even as I am one in spirit and purpose with you.

 148 Now they know that though I am one with you, it is still your words that I follow, even as they are one with me and it is now my words that they follow.

 149 For I gave them all of the teachings you gave to me and they accepted them into their hearts and they live them in their lives.

 150 They know without doubt that I came from you and they believe with all of their heart, mind and spirit that you have sent me.

 151 I pray now to you for them. I am not praying for the world, but for these most precious spirits within this room; the kindred spirits of my spirit that you have blessed me to have in my life and eternity.

 152 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come; and will come to me because of them.

 153 I will remain in the world but for a few moments longer; but they are still in the world for some time.  I am coming home to you with joy, and I ask that you will protect them and send your angels to watch over them, even the Angel of the Covenant.

 154 Let them become as one.  Let all things they ask of light be done by the power of my name- the sacred name you gave me in the Celestine Light- that they may be one as we are one.

 155 I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still with them in the world, so that they may know the depths of my love for them and have the full measure of my joy within them.

 156 I have given them your word and the world has hated them for it and shall hate them even more in the days to come, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.

 157 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world, but that you will inspire them to always remain true to the Celestine Light.  Give them the strength and resolve to always put down the adversary within, and the means to always overcome all adversaries outside of them.

 158 They are not of the world; even as I am not of it. Your word is the truth and the light.  Sanctify them by the majesty of the Celestine Light. 

 159 As you sent me into the world, so shall I send them into the world. Watch over them, I pray, even as you have watched over me and never faltered.

Yeshua Prays for All Children of Light

 160 My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for the Children of Light wandering in the darkness upon the world; that they will come to believe in me and know the fullness of the Celestine Light through the message of my Apostles; and others that they shall call with authority, to bring the light to the world.

 161 I pray that all who find and live the fullness of the Celestine Light will become one in heart, mind and spirit; and become true brothers and sisters of the light; just as you, my beloved Mother and Father, are in me and I am in you.

 162 May all those who seek the Celestine Light find it; and all those who live it gather together as Children of Light that they may edify one another.

 163 May the Children of Light be brought to complete unity and abundance of all good things, even to the amazement of the world; that the people of the world will know that the Children of Light are blessed of God and that you love them even as you love me.

 164 Divine Mother and Father, I want those who find the Celestine Light and live it, to be with me where I am; and to share in my joy and the glory you have given me. 

 165 As you have loved me before the creation of the world, so I have loved them. I know you too love them as parents, but they are my brothers and sisters, and very precious to my heart.

 166 I pray your love will shower upon all who wander in darkness that they will see the light and heed it; and that those who have found it will take great joy in sharing it; that the Celestine glory shall be filled overflowing with the righteous.”

Salome Sings

 167 The following day while everyone was still gathered together in the upper room, Yeshua asked Salome to share her special gift and sing a song. 

 168 She had a moment of hesitation, for though she had sung at Herod's court, she had never sung to any of the Children of Light, except for the family of Yeshua to which she belonged.

 169 But she obliged Yeshua happily, saying, “My Lord, thank you for allowing me to honor you with the music which Elohim has so blessed to flow within me.  Surely it is for this at least that you have asked me to be here among you. Would a song of the Persians be alright to sing?

 170 Yeshua nodded his head affirmatively, sweeping his arm around the room and saying, “If it uplifts our spirits and unites our hearts, let it be from any land and we will be one with it.”

 171 Now all of the Apostles looked at Salome with curiosity for none had ever heard her sing before. But as she began to sing their eyes widened in amazement, and it seemed from their looks of awe that none had ever heard a sound so sweet.

 172 Salome began to dance gently in modestly and harmony with her song.  There was no need for musical instruments to accompany her singing, for her voice was as melodious and enchanting as any musical instrument could ever be. 

 173 She sang clearly, in her soft and angelic voice, with great variation in the pitch, and punctuated by occasional thrills of her tongue. Culminating her song, she threw her head and arms up as she sang the last note, then fell down onto her knees with her head bowed to the floor before Yeshua.

  174 After a few moments of stunned silence Yudas Iscariot who knew some Persian whispered.  “This was a song of a hero who died to save his friends.”

 175 After he spoke the silence lingered for a moment.  Then beginning with one and then another everyone stomped their feet in awestruck appreciation and began to compliment Salome.  Miriam came to her and gave her a warm embrace and whispered something in Salome's ear that made her smile as she lifted her up to stand before Yeshua.

 176 And Yeshua told her, “Salome you have always been a beautiful woman of great light.  But when you sing, you bring out and expand the light inside everyone who is fortunate enough to be touched by your voice.  I hope from this day forth you will sing often for the edification of the Children of Light.”

 177 “I will, my Lord.  Surely if you wish it, I shall do it with great gladness.”
