The Chosen
The Second Phase of God’s Plan
Was to Create a People – A Community
(
).
He Chose the Children of Israel, the Children of Light. The
Twelve Tribes of Israel Were Created as God’s People, Which are the
Symbol of the Communities of Light.
The First
Seal is the Mystical Paths (
),
which are in every religion. And the Second Seal (
)
is that God wants to create communities based on Him. The
whole Old Testament is the struggle between God and the
Children of Israel to keep the twelve tribes God-conscious, to
follow God, and to choose God as the only King.
***
The entire
Old Testament applies to this Second Seal (
).
That is exactly what the Old Testament wants us to do, create
the
Communities of Light, the communities based on God, based on
His Laws. And when we create those communities with His Spirit
within us, helping one another, understanding one another, loving
one another, creating an environment where we can live peacefully,
and become productive units in those communities, those communities
will prosper and those communities will be created all over the
world.
And after, we can connect these communities together and we can
create the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. So that was another
intent of God in the Old Testament.
***
We see that
God chose Abraham as the person who started the story of the
Children of Israel. And eventually it came to Israel himself.
He was Jacob and the name was changed to Israel which means, “he who
struggles with God, [to struggle here means to struggle together,
not against], the Light Bearer.” Then his children created the
twelve tribes of Israel.
***
God chose
the Hebrews and made a covenant with them that they would be His
people forever and He stood firm in His covenant. Hebrew
means, “beyond, those who have overcome their lower natures, or the
Children of Israel (those who struggle with God).” These
people have been and forever will be the Elected Ones. Whoever
overcomes the world (its excess attraction, Maya) is an Elected One.
They have always been reincarnated to struggle for His Purpose.
***
Now we are
the Children of Light. We are trying to create those
communities God desires to be created. Of course, the Children
of Israel did not have the Eternal Divine Path
and The Greatest Sign. They had the Ten
Commandments, which were still OK. They would create very
Godly-conscious communities. But now we have a crystallized
path to create the Communities of Light.
***
You see,
The Eternal Divine Path encompasses, or contains, the Ten
Commandments and more. If you do not follow the Ten
Commandments, you cannot follow the
Eternal Divine Path either. So when you are following
the
Eternal Divine Path, you are following the Ten Commandments.
In the Eternal Divine Path, you cannot do adultery. You
cannot bare a false witness. You have no other god beside Him.
It is just not possible!
***
In
the beginning the Children of Israel did not have any king. They had
judges. Judges were supposed to be in touch with the Spirit and
God-conscious. They would bring the Spirit to the Children of
Abraham. But their neighbors all had kings. So the Children of
Israel eventually said “No, we want a king. We do not want judges.”
So, Samuel went to God and said, “God, these people want a king.
They do not want judges. They rejected me.” Samuel took it on
himself, “They rejected me.”
God said, “They did not reject you, they rejected Me.” They
rejected God. If they have a king, the king is going to take
their children to war. He is going to tax them and do all the
terrible things a king does. Go and tell them, ‘Do they still
want a king?’”
They said, “Yes, we want a king.” God said, “OK, now choose a
king for yourselves.” And they chose a king who was tall and
handsome. They just went by the appearances. That was
Saul. And Saul did exactly what God had told them he would do.
He taxed them. He took their children to war. He
destroyed their cities and their religions, etc.
Then God chose a king Himself, as King David. He was not very
handsome or tall. He was probably a regular person. But
he was very wise. He had the Wisdom of God. He had
the Spirit of God with him. He became the greatest King they
ever had, King David, and the reason was because God was with him.
But, of course, he fell a couple of times also.
However, the Best King is God Himself. He is our King also in
the Communities of Light. He is our strength. He
is our work. He is our way. And He has given us the way
to create the Communities of Light.
***
Despite all
the effort, the Children of Israel were not ready to become a
perfect example for others. God then gave the Hebrews laws and
regulations to bring them order and to make them strong and unique
from their neighbors. He made them go through great hardships
and struggles to develop those characteristics which were necessary
for them particularly, and are necessary for any person or group
individually, in order to set an example for others and so influence
them to bring the Kingdom of Heaven within and without.
***
By
rejecting God (1Samuel 8:7) and accepting a human king, they cut
themselves off from His direct influence in their lives. Then
they started bowing down in front of the earthly kings who were as
human as themselves with all the earthly shortcoming and faults.
Also by accepting a human king, man becomes the subject of that king
and his wills and whims. Therefore, he forgets about God and
His Laws. With rejection of God as their King by the Israelite
people and through accepting a human king, they further lost their
direct relationship with the Lord.
***
What is a
tribe? It is a community, isn’t it? The number twelve,
for the twelve tribes of Israel, is similar to the base of twelve in
the community, or the number twelve in the twelve disciples.
Who is the thirteenth? The thirteenth is God Himself.
Christ came with twelve disciples. Who was Christ Himself?
Christ was the number thirteen, wasn’t he? Twelve plus one
makes the thirteen.
That is why in the Communities of Light we also base the
community on twelve people, six couples. Who is the
thirteenth? God! When they sit around the round table,
each couple representing one sign, who is in the center? God
is in the center. So they always have God’s presence in their
endeavors, in their decisions, in their unity. In whatever
they do, God is with them and their decisions are based on His
Guidance.
***
If you look
at
The Greatest Sign, you see the Sign of Solomon as the sign
for the Jewish religion, which is two triangles together (
).
There is a larger one of this sign in the center (
)
and there is another one there as the Sixth Seal (
). See, there are three Stars of David.
And as you see, the first small Star of David we said is the Kingdom
of Heaven on Earth, the Communities of Light. And the
second small one (
) is the Elect, or the one who finds the Kingdom of
Heaven within. The third one (
),
the large one, is the Kingdom of Heaven In Heaven. So there
are three Kingdoms: The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, based on
the
Communities of Light, the Kingdom of Heaven within you, when
you go through those first five steps in The Greatest Sign
and find God within yourself and realize that God is without also,
and the third is the Kingdom of Heaven in Heaven, where God already
is the King.
***
God has
prophesied that His Kingdom will come on earth. If He said in
the past something will happen and it happened, this will also come
true. We will see everything accelerated on the earth.
It will come, we will see. We will be all together and every
day we will see things accelerating themselves as part of the
prophecy for humanity.
***
It is said
that the crowd, the number, is the hand of God. This is also
true in the Kingdom. The more numbers there are, the more
God-conscious people who come together in the name of God and put
their differences aside and become One, the stronger the Kingdom
will be, the stronger the people will be, and each person will be
strong in the group. It does not matter how many problems come
to that group, those problems will not destroy them because they
have a strong base.
It is just like the Hebrew communities, they withstood the problems
for the last 6,000 years. Why? They survived because
they have a strong community feeling, strong family feeling.
It does not matter if they were destroyed in one place, their base
never could be destroyed which was the strength of the community.
They always could build on that base.
***
When God is
accepted and followed as the only and true King, His Laws as the
only Laws, His organizational system as the only system, and the
spiritual Hierarchy as the true Hierarchy (when the King of Heaven
within is established by the majority), then His Kingdom will be
realized (established) on earth as it is in heaven.
In truth He is the King whether humans accept it or not. If
humanity accepts His Laws, follows them, and realizes that His Will
should be done on earth as it is in heaven, then the true peace and
tranquility will come to the earth. At that time, because
people will not resist His Will, there will be no suffering, because
suffering comes from resisting God’s Will.
