Light of Yeshua the Messiah
CHAPTER 1
This is the only chapter in the Oracles of Celestine Light where Yeshua is speaking directly to you, as the reader. Yeshua speaks about the past and the promises of the future.
1 Thus spoke Yeshua the Messiah: “I am Yeshua of Nazareth. I came upon the Earth to bring the fullness of the Celestine Light of God, and I ascended into Heaven with my peace and teachings upon the hearts of the Children of Light.
2 Then came the vicissitudes of the world, and in less than a generation, many of the great truths that I spoke and lived became as dust blowing in the wind, lost and forgotten in the annals of men.
3 But the whirlwind comes, and upon its breath, the fullness of truth shall rise up and the Celestine Light shall shine once again.
4 Unto the Children of Israel, I gave simple laws of life and eternity, promising that unto those who believed in me and lived that which I taught, the Holy Spirit would come to lift their hearts and their lives would be filled with peace and wonder.
5 Unto my Apostles who walked with me in life, I taught the mysteries of God, for they were sent forth unto the tribes of Israel and into a world that would love them not; therefore, I gave unto them a fuller understanding of all things that they might have a shield of greater knowledge and a well of deeper faith to withstand the persecutions to come.
6 Unto the valiant Children of Light, who fully lived the foundations given unto them, my Apostles were directed to endow with a greater knowledge as they were guided by the Holy Spirit, but these gifts were bestowed only to a precious few of the worthy and faithful before my friends were martyred or departed from the Earth. And those precious lights became voices from the past, crying in the wilderness to people who heard them not.
7 While I ministered unto the children of men, many of the faithful wrote the words which I spoke and of the things I did. Nevertheless, not until after the fall of the temple at Jerusalem did there begin to be a gathering of that which had been recorded and then by those who had not known me in the flesh; therefore, that which was written again was not always that which had been, and because of persecutions and religious prejudices, more of what I said and did was lost and cast out than was saved.
8 And it came to pass that the full and faithful accounting of my life and many of the plain and precious precepts which I spoke and lived were altered in the oral and written words of men: some to offer appeal to the Children of Israel and others to offer appeal to the Gentiles.
9 And precious understandings and stories of the light were lost because of the intolerance of men, even the righteous, when the words and remembrances of my beloved, Miriam, who knew me more than all others, were cast out and found no place in the canons of acceptance.
10 And I ask you who seek the truth: where are the writings of the eleven who walked faithfully with me and broke bread with me and were living testaments to my life and teachings?
11 Verily, they were honestly written by their learned disciples, but cast out by both the pious and persecutors, for they gave the fullness of my teachings and not the words and precepts men desired to hear.
12 To some, my life was a storm. For I came not only to uphold the true laws given by God, but also to throw upon the ground and trample under feet the unjust laws of men and the false traditions given in the name of God that lead the innocent astray. Because of this, for many, it was easier to give up their life in my name than to understand and live the fullness of the Celestine Light which I taught.
13 I am the good shepherd, and I have ever called upon the Children of Light of pure heart to be of one fold, with a common understanding and acceptance of the fullness of the truth, to faithfully follow the path that I taught by precept and example, with humility and love. I truly sorrow for the foolishness and weakness of men when it is not so.
14 Nevertheless, all things come to pass as they need to be, and for the honest and open of heart, Elohim shall always give succor to that which they seek that they might be sustained, despite all that men and evil may do.
15 And to those of contrite spirit who seek the truth with openness and a sincere desire to understand, the Holy Spirit of Elohim will testify with warmth in their heart and illumination in their mind.
16 My Father and Mother know all things which shall come to pass and allow adversity to be in the world that the valiant might gain faith and those who search earnestly for truth will find it, by the strength of their faith.
17 And I say unto you that faith is the foundation of all truths, for it is the power by which all things are and can be. To know faith abiding in every fiber of your essence is to fulfill one of the great purposes of your life and to unlatch the door to your glory in eternity.
18 In the days of old, after a time, came one flock into preeminence by grace of the Romans, and they organized unto their persuasion, choosing for their foundation the writings and revisions of the words of my Apostles and disciples that agreed with their desires and burying those which did not. Thus, like many others, they used my name to sway the hearts of men to follow the portions of the truth which were pleasing unto them and served their purposes, demanding obedience to their dictates and not to the fullness of the Celestine Light of Elohim, which I had given by precept and example.
19 Then were many plain and simple truths of Heaven hidden by the persecutions, desires, and craftiness of men, and the Children of Light could only find the truth in their hearts and in their dreams of the night, when the Holy Spirit testified to those who cried out in humility and faith.
20 But that which has been lost is given again in fullness, for my teachings bring joy and that which I ask does not burden but enlightens, for it is the Gospel of love, of life, and of light.
21 Verily, I say unto you: This generation shall not pass away until all that has been hidden is brought again into the light, for it is the epoch for the fulfillment of promise.
22 Unto this generation has my Father and Mother saved the greatest spirits of Heaven to come forth upon the world, and to them will be given the plentitude of truth, both that which was lost and that which is new.
23 And the fullness of the Celestine Light of God shall lift up the righteous, but it shall blind the wicked and in their lack of sight, they shall fight against the restoration of truth and the brightness of the new light, even in the name of God, who knows them not.
24 Woe unto such, for it is better that they had never been born. And he who sows a wicked seed against God shall reap an eternal harvest of misery infinitely greater than the seed he sowed.
25 Now come my brethren, the Apostles who walked with me upon the Earth, to speak with the prophet I have called in this age, in word and vision; unto him have been given keys and authority that the plainness and mysteries of my Gospel shall be made known among the children of men to prepare the world for the glory to come.
26 That which has been hidden is now declared unto the world by my word. As I gave unto my Apostles of old, I say again that in wholeness, upon the foundation of Prophets, Apostles, Bishops, Evangelists, Seekers, and the Adepts among them; with support from Pastors, Seventies, Elders, Priests, Deacons, and Teachers, the fullness of Celestine Light shall stand; that there may be a unity of faith and an edification and perfecting of the Children of Light.
27 Prepare now for the coming of the glory of the kingdom of God on Earth; like a whirlwind from the desert, through the stinging sand, the new day dawns, and those who love me no longer need seek me in the mists of confusion, for they will find me in the brightness of the Sun.”
