The Fourfold Gospel by Neville Goddard (03-05-1963)

Neville Goddard 1963 Lectures from the Awakening March 5, 1963 the Fourfold Gospel Tonight's subject is the Fourfold Gospel. As you know, for I think you do, the Bible is a mystery, a mystery to be known only by revelation. As I told you in the past, a mystery is not a matter to be kept secret, but a truth that is mysterious in character. The four Gospels are the plot of the entire Bible. Everything that was promised Israel, as we have it recorded in the 39 books of the Old Testament, came into flower, into fulfillment in the four Gospels. But even to this day, 2,000 years later, many are still seeking in the Bible for the Christ of whom the Father spoke and whose coming they foretold. As we are told, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that was to be yours, inquired and searched about that salvation. They inquired what person or time was indicated by the Spirit of Christ within them when predicating the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glory. 1 First Peter 1:10 Let me repeat that sentence. As we are told, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that was to be yours inquired and searched about the about that salvation. They inquired what person or time was indicated by the Spirit of Christ within them when predicating the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glory. 1st Peter 1:10 Matter of fact, I was going to mention the Jane Roberts Seth material. They started Jane started channeling Seth in December of 1963. So that was that's when that came on the scene. I mentioned in my last videos that I would mention this. And I just looked that up and and that's when Jane and Rob first were introduced to Seth. And that's when that whole situation started with Jane, Robert, Jane Roberts, Rob Butts and Seth came in and then they she channeled Seth for the next 21 years, until sometime in 1984, continuing with Neville. Well, they could not find him. They were all looking for a man. And today the whole vast Christian world still turns to a man. And those who deny it think in terms of a man that they deny they do not know the Christian mystery. So Paul made the statement, from now on we'll regard no one from the human from the human point of view. Even though we once regarded Christ from the human point of view, we regard him thus no longer. 2nd Corinthians 5:16 yes, even though I once thought of Christ from the human point of view, I think upon him so no longer he is something entirely different. To understand this mystery we have to find the root, and that is in the old Testament. What did they promise? The promise is in the 11th chapter, the first three verses, called the Messianic Book, one of the many chapters, but this one is prominent. There shall come forth a stem from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of that root, and the Spirit of the Lord shall be upon him. The image returns from a root, from a branch, and from a stem into a man. And the Spirit of the in the 14th, in the 40th chapter, behold the man. But he doesn't use the word branch. But Zachariah, to fulfill the prophecy, brings in the branch. Behold the man whose name is the branch. So Luke presents him. The ideal man should have a genealogy. So Luke presents him as man. When you read the two genealogies of Matthew and Luke, they differ. At the beginning of David the king, they part. And David's older son, Nathan, becomes the line through which Luke takes Jesus Christ. His younger son, Solomon becomes the one through whom he takes the one bringing him into a king. So here you find a complete different genealogy for 14 generations, then another 14 following that. Here you have these many, many generations where they are entirely different backgrounds. And people think you can't be telling the story of the same person. But people don't know the mystery. You're presenting not a person, you're presenting not a man. But you're presenting something that is altogether different. Christ is not a man, a king, a servant. Christ that saves is a series of mystical experiences through which God reveals himself for the salvation of man. That's Christ. The whole vast New Testament is based upon the assumption that a certain series of events happened in which God revealed himself in action for the salvation of man. Did they happen? Now, we are told in Scripture that they happened. I claim that the evangelists were telling their own story, as told us in the end of Luke. And they told what had happened. Luke 24:35. As Mophat takes that phrase and describes it and translates it, they related their own experiences. They are relating a series of mystical happenings in the soul of the individual, where God revealed himself in these actions for the salvation of that individual. So Luke presents God as the ideal man. Behold the man whose name is the branch. 6, chapter 12, verse of Zechariah. He must have a genealogy, and this goes all the way back, unbroken, back to Adam, the Son of God. John, on the other hand, presents him as God himself. No, no need of a genealogy. None. And this you find in the fourth chapter, second verse of Isaiah. And the day is coming, and the day is always in the future. For this is all prophecy, when the branch of Jehovah will be beautiful and glorious. All this is in the future. And men are still looking for this branch to flower in some mighty conqueror who will come and save humanity from the tyrants loose in this world. And he doesn't come that way. So they denied he was a king because they did not. Read carefully. My kingdom is not of this world. They are still expecting him to in some way entrench himself in the world and establish a kingdom and rebuild what they believe to be David's kingdom. And all these must be spiritualized. All the characters mentioned as his background, his genealogy, are states of consciousness, all of them. Here it begins. This is the book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David. The very end of the genealogy. Joseph's father is called Jacob. The 17th verse Matthew for Matthew 1:1 16. A few verses on. On the 20th verse, the angel of the Lord appears unto Joseph in a dream and says, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take unto thyself Mary thy wife. Three verses before it is stated in the genealogy that his father was Jacob. And along the way, just a few verses down, the angel of the Lord addresses him as Joseph, son of David. Here in the genealogy, Joseph is called the Father and the genealogy begins with Jesus Christ, son of David. Don't you see it? I'm telling you, I'm about to go cross side and I'm. And I'm my family's genealogist. Oh boy, you've got to spiritualize all of these characters. They are states of consciousness. They are not persons any more than Jesus Christ is a person. Jesus Christ is that series of events unfolding like a tree in man for the salvation of that man in whom this series unfolds. That is Jesus Christ. And man cannot think that way if he wants to personify it and put it on a wall, put it in some little hole and do something with it. And it isn't that. So here we find the presentation of God as a king in Matthew, the presentation of God as a servant in Mark, and the presentation of God as the perfect ideal man in Luke, and God himself in John. So in John he speaks and calls himself constantly. I am. I am the vine, I am the way, I am the truth, I am the resurrection, I am the door all through. He is emphasizing who he really is, the being that you are. But the series of events, I promise you, will info will unfold within you. When they unfold within you, you know who you are. And you could no more Keep it to yourself than the evangelists who experience Christ could have kept it to themselves. They couldn't if they experienced it. Having experienced Christ, they could not keep their experience of Christ to themselves. So they tell it. Now let me show you what Luke tells us in his own way. Why they translated it this way, I don't know. Luke begins his book. Inasmuch as many have undertaken to assemble a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us, as it was revealed to us by those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning it seemed good to me, also having observed closely for some time past. Now that phrase for some time past is a translation of the Greek word Anathan, A n o t h I n Anathan, which means from above. When it is used in the third chapter of John, it is used from above. It is said to be, nicodemus, you must be born from above. Except you be born from above, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. John 3. 3. Yet here in the book of Luke, the same word, no alteration, the identical word is translated into this phrase for some time past. So he's telling you, if you go back to the original tongue, where he. Where he got it. Having observed all things closely from above, it seemed good to me also to write an orderly account for you, Theophilus, one who loves God, that you may know the truth concerning these things of which you have been informed. He's writing it down for all of us who claim we love God, for we are, Theophilus, a lover of God, one who seeks God. He's telling you where he got it. He is not making any claim that his arrangement is a greater chronological arrangement of the source material. What he's telling us is God is from above, and he's going to write it in an orderly arrangement which he claims this arrangement is better, better understood by man, for he begins with a birth, and he ends for man's sake with a crucifixion. That's not the way in which Luke got it, for Luke is not his name. All this is anonymous, but whoever calls himself Luke did not receive it in that order, but he thinks it's a better arrangement to be understood by mortal minds until they themselves have the experience. So what the Gospels are telling us is believe this, believe it for the work's sake. Then he tells us how to prove the law of God and improving the law of God. You may believe his promise. Then he tells us what to do about the law of God. Ask anything in my name, but don't forget my name, My Name is I am. And it will be done unto you. Ask anything in my name and it will be done unto you. But My name is I Am. But don't call by any other name. And when you call it upon my name, call with my name. Don't call upon it, for I have no other name. So don't say in the name of I am. Just prepare yourself to be I am. Now I am what you name it. Whatever you want to be, just name it. But call with My name. Don't call upon My name. So call. I am healthy, I am wealthy, I am known, and I am anything that you think lovely in your world. Call upon it by calling with the name. Then he tells them, I have come to testify of things that I know and that I've seen. If you will not receive the testimony that I bring you of things of earth, how may you receive the testimony of mine if I tell you of things of heaven? Now let me give you a vision of mine that happened many, many years ago to show you. It was revealed to me long before it began to awaken in me. Just like a vision of the fourth of Daniel. Only in my case it wasn't a tree. But just as he starts off with the vision, the visions of my head as I lay in bed, suddenly I saw this fabulous field. And consciousness followed vision. I entered the field. It had no limit. It was infinite. At first I thought them to be flowers. Long tail, tall flowers, like sunflowers. Huge, big flowers. As I approached them, they were not flowers. They were all rooted like a flower into the earth. But the faces. Beautiful faces, Human faces. Everyone was a face. As they came upon them, they moved in concert. They all moved in concert together. As though someone led them in some orchestra. And they all moved. If one bent over. The whole vast field of them bent over. If one smiled, they all smiled. They all did everything in concert. When I walked among them, admiring the beautiful human faces that were anchored and stationary like a flower, I realized right at that moment that I am not comparable to them in beauty. Nothing in that rhythm. And yet I enjoyed greater freedom. Limited as I was all of them then, all of them put together. They moved in concert. And I had freedom of movement. Even though my emotion was not in harmony. I had freedom of choice. Even if I made the wrong choice. I could choose evil and they could choose nothing. They could do nothing but move. As some invisible power moved them. They could do nothing of themselves. And I realized that with all of my limitations, I was greater. I could make mistakes and they couldn't make a mistake. I could actually move without the consent, without the consent of another. And they couldn't do it. And beautiful as they were, I realized how much infinite, how much infinitely greater. I was limited as I was because I was detached from that field. And I thought in the depths of me that at one time I must have been one of that orchestra. And God, in His infinite mercy, fell with me and then took up residence in me. Then seven times had to pass over me the fiery ordeal I had to be given. This is a human face. Take the mind of man from him and give him the mind of a beast. Let him now live with the beasts of the field. Sever everything from him. Cut off the branches, strip the leaves, scatter the fruit, but don't disturb the root. And the root is God himself. That's Jesse. But 70 times will pass over him until he knows that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will. He gives it in that moment that he gives us Christ. And Christ is that series of mystical experiences taking place in the individual soul for that soul's salvation. Oh, boy, I can see that field of flowers now. Perfectly beautiful human faces, not a blemish. Everything perfect and everything moving in this perfect rhythm as some invisible director directed them and they all moved in concert. So you and I were once part of that harmony. And the harmony became broken. For our salvation, we descended because God descended with us. He did. He doesn't push us out. The word he vow, he means to fall. And that is the root of the verb that we have as yod hey, vow, hey, which we call Jehovah, the great sacred name, the name by which all things are made. So here, Matthew, Mark and Luke and John and John present this mystery of the branch. And I tell you, it grows in us. As Blake said, the gods of the earth and the sea sought through nature to find this tree. But their search was all in vain. There grows in the human brain, one in parentheses. There grows one in the human brain. And that tree is turned down. If you saw the human being and take off the skin. If you saw the human being and take off the skin and see just the nervous system. It's just like an inverted tree. That'd be R system. It'd be just like an inverted tree where the brain is the root and the whole tree grows down all of our nerves. They just branches out through our. Throughout our body. But the tree is going. But the tree is going to be turned up one day. Excuse me. Is going to be turned up. One day you'll see it turned up. There will be a complete severance of your being called the curtain of the temple. And then you that were living down, not even knowing it, that it turns right up. And all the currents of eternity are now reversed in you. And you've turned up. And from then you grow up. And the vision I had of this many years ago startled people. I first told it in San Francisco. Why, the rejection was horrible. Yet the book of Mark, speaking of the servant of the Lord, who is the branch speaks of it. When the blind man's eye was opened, the Lord opened the eye of the blind man. He said, what do you see? He said, I see men like trees walking. There it is. I see men like trees walking. Mark 8:24 this night when I had this vision of the majesty of man, when he turned up, you will think, how could I be a tree? But I am telling you, such beauty and such joy when you see it. Something altogether different. But how could you describe it? You can't describe it to the satisfaction of anyone, because who wants to be a tree? And yet here, inverted, and we're called the branch. Don't forget it. And there shall come forth a stem from the stump of Jesse, from the stump of I Am, and a branch shall grow out of its root. And the Spirit of the Lord, that's that shall and the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him. The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, and the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. Isaiah 11:1 Fear, by the way, means reverence of the Lord, the awe of God, not fear as we understand it. Again, these same four Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It is revealed to us in a strange way when the child is given a name. This is now the ninth chapter of the book of Isaiah. To us us a child is born. To us a son is given. Two entirely different experiences. A child is born, a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor. Don't put a comma between Wonderful and counselors. So as so many Bibles have. Bear in mind that there were no punctuation marks in the ancient Hebrew none whatsoever, not even breaks as as paragraphs, just all continuous. And they put a comma in between Wonderful and Counselor. It is not there are four given names. There are four names given in keeping with the fourfold Gospel. His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor. Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. The four titles Wonderful Counselor. That's Omniscience itself. You could ask anything of a being who is completely awake that would not have the automatic answer. For there is omniscience, Mighty God, Divine impotent, Divine omnipotence. And here, everlasting Father, Father forever. That's when the Son is given. That's when the third title comes. And then Prince of Peace. That's at the very end, when you are about to take off the garment for the last time, as told us in the book of John. And my peace I leave with you. Not as the world giveth. Give I unto you. John 14:27. He gives a peace that is beyond understanding. You can't disturb that peace. For he's the Prince of Peace. He is an everlasting Father. He is Father forever. When you see me, said he, you see the Father, Father forever, Almighty God. A might be on the wildest dreams of anything you've ever seen. And when you see that might, you see it. You see it personified as a man. Look into his eyes and you see might like you've never known might before. And it is man. And then, wonderful counselor. So he promises to send us the counselor. When he withdraws, he will send to those who have the understanding to follow him as he revealed what happened in him. So when you read the Gospels, whether it be Matthew, Mark, Luke or John, do not see a man walking through the pages. See the great mystery of Christ, the branch unfolding in you. And it takes root. There must come out a root from that. From that stump, it takes root. How does it take root? Well, you first hear the story, you won't believe it. Then the Word is planted as one believes it. He accepted the Word. The Word he translates in the book of John, called Logos. That's in the beginning was the Word. That's the Greek Logos. And the Word was with God. And the Word was God. That's really the translation of the Hebrew debar, which means the word of God, which contains within itself the power of its own expression. That word in the Book of John, the first verse, is Christ. In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God. And the Word was God. Now turn to the 55th chapter of the book of Isaiah. So shall my Word be that goes forth from my mouth. It shall not return unto me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose and fulfill that where I sent it. Verse 11. So the word, when it comes, it's the Word called Christ. I tell you the story. Believe it. The minute you believe it, you've accepted it. It has fallen on fertile ground Very, very important part of all of this right there. The minute you believe it, you've accepted, has fallen on fertile ground, it will then take root. And the Word contains within itself the power of its own expression. And the whole vast program of God. For man's salvation is contained in that word, the seed it falls upon man. Man hears it, he either believes it or he rejects it. And so here we move across the world and seven times pass over until one day we hear it with acceptance. And then the little root takes place in that stump of Jesse, the stump of I am. If you're still here in this video, it's because you hear it, because this is extremely dense, but there's a reason you're still here. Then out of it comes the branch, and then the Spirit of the Lord descends upon him. From then on it moves and you can't stop it. So you can't earn it, accept it, believe the story as it was intended when it was first written, completely misunderstood through the century. So you can't earn it, Accept it, believe the story as it was intended when it was first written, completely misunderstood through the centuries. It told us of a certain individual who was born in a strange way and raised in a strange way and died a horrible death. But that's not the story at all. If I would comfort you with a death, the sixth chapter of the book of Romans should comfort you. For here in this sixth chapter we are told that if we have been united with Christ in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. Verse 5. He uses the past tense when it comes to death, and the future when it comes to resurrection. If we have been have been united with Christ in death like his, then we shall be shall be united with him in a resurrection like His. So the unity took place in his death. For he fell and all of us are in it. Now he's asking us for acceptance, for acceptance through the Word. Now he's asking us for acceptance through the Word. We have union with him in a death like His. We shall have union with him in a resurrection like His. He resurrects us one after the other by this series of fantastically wonderful, mystical, mystical experiences, one after the other. And you can't contrive them. They come like a thief in the night when you least expect them, one after the other. So everything said in the Gospels concerning the central figure is all about you. Everything from the beginning to the end. But I tell you that death has already taken place. But even the death took place for the trees has. For the tree has fallen. It's been failed. Hew down the tree, cut off the branches. That's all over. Strip the leaves, scatter the fruit. Give him the mind of a beast. Well, haven't we the mind of a beast go back 20 years. What beast in the world would have conceived of its of ovens to burn innocent people by the millions? For now, that's not 20 years ago. This is 63. So what would that be? I don't want to do the math, but it's about 70, right? 60, 70, 80 years. Yeah. 80, 80, 80, 82 years. Well, haven't we the mind of a beast go back 82 years. What beast in the world would have conceived of ovens to burn innocent people by the millions? Isn't that the mind of a beast? Have you read here recently the current stories of Stalin, the things the man did to those, even the most intimate circles that no one felt at ease in his presence. Molotov down to all, like little children, shaking every one of them. This came up last Sunday in the Sunday Times, in yesterday's observer, in today's New York Times, for I get that every day and all these stories because Today is the 10th anniversary of his death. Here was the strangest call it a beast. There is no beast that would have done the things the man did to his own people. He hated everything in the world and so did Hitler, who hated everything. And so take the man's mind from him and give him the mind of a beast who gave the order God. And this is the order from on high. Now, in the eyes of the world, they seem to be so far advanced because they were so powerful in the exercise and misuse of power. They are, they are on down, they are descending. They have seven times must pass over this mind of a beast before it could accept the story of Christianity. Both rejected it, both called it foolish and the whole thing was stupid. The opiate of humanity, said one, quoting his master, Karl Marx, and the other looked upon Christianity as the weakest thing in the world. Christ to him was simply nothing but a weakness because he couldn't kill. He said, put up the sword and turn the other cheek. And Father, forgive them, they know not what they do. And so here you see the beast of beasts. And it was all at God's command. Take from him the mind of a man and give him the mind of a beast. And let us and let his lot be among the beasts. But do not disturb the root. Leave that stump and let it be watered with the Dew of heaven. And then there's a reversal. It just suddenly appears. And all of a sudden the stump puts out a chute. It can't put out the shoot until it it first heard the word of God. So we're told, go and tell the word. And it must start in Jerusalem and spread to Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth. Go and tell it. And some will accept it and some will reject it. But those who reject it all right, because 70, because seven times has not passed over. And what are the seven times? Read the third chapter of the book of Daniel and heat the furnaces seven times more than they were want than they were wont to be. And then comes the three Hebrew boys and they are put into furnaces, called clothed. And then the king said, were there not three? They answered, yes, but I see four. And the fourth has and the fourth has the form of a Son of God, verse 24. So here there were four, not three. Three were put in the threefold man, the three dimensional man, but goes with them the fourth God himself. For the fourth empty space is God himself altogether. When they came out, not even with the smell of fire, their hair was not singed, and not even the smell of fire upon their garments. Then he Nebuchadnezzar worshiped the God of Israel, worshiped the God of Shadrach, Mesach, Meshach, and Abednego. Here this whole thing is a mystery to be unfolded in the simple way. It began by telling you that Christ of the Scripture is unfolding in you in a series of events, revealing to you your salvation. So not only before empty space. For Peter in his epistle said that the prophets saw how they searched and inquired about this grace that was to be yours, and how they inquired about this salvation and asked him what persons, what time was indicated by the Spirit of Christ within them when prophesying and predicting of the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glory. 1st Peter 1:10 but they didn't find him. They couldn't find the Christ of whom they wrote and whose coming were foretold. They couldn't find him because they were looking for a man. And today they are still looking for a man and looking for a time. You know you can't find what's in you if you're looking out here all the live long day. And today we are still looking for a man and looking for a time. They think maybe 1963 will bring him. 1964 and all through the ages people have thought of just a moment in time was the coming of Christ or the coming of a person. And he doesn't come that way. He comes in you. And when you have him, you share him with everyone who will listen. But many will say, because they know you so well, but don't I know him? Isn't he Mary's child? And his father named George? Doesn't he work in a factory with. With me. I know him. What's he talking about? And so they expect an entirely different kind of person to come. They don't expect this garment to have within it an experience that no mortal man could possibly ever have. And it all happens in the man, in the depths of the soul of the man. Then he goes back and he sees where it was all foretold. But not could be himself foresee, but not could he himself forever foresee. It was all there, but he couldn't really dig it out any more than the scholars can until it happens after it comes to the surface in him. And he's bewildered when the dust settles that he can really talk about it without excitement. A few will listen and a majority will turn their backs. And they say, that poor fellow, he used to be so normal. Used to be a very normal person. Used to tell me how to get a better job and I used to get the job. He used to talk about how to get enough money and. And I got the money. I went to the track and made 84,000. I went to the track and made 54,000. Went out blank space. And I met all kinds of things. But now he's talking of stranger things. He's talking about a Christ I never heard of before. I'd rather have my own, my old Christ. Because to him I can kneel, and to him I can say a prayer in the hope that he will have compassion on me and respond. But this Christ, a series of mystical experience in the soul of man where the whole tree unfolds and suddenly the tree fell down and turns around and then the whole thing goes upright into the back, into the great stump itself, the skull of man. And from then on it begins to really grow. I told you about when the breath came upon me. Here's my body in bed, literally. And my consciousness was sucked this way. Well, if I'm going this way at faster than light speed, I'm upside down, literally, my tree is upside down fast. And I mean to tell you fast. And then he knows what the glory is that Paul spoke of. For there is laid upon for me in heaven a crown of glory, but he himself grows it. No one puts it upon him. It's a living crown, but not a crown as the human eye sees when they see the queen's crown. This is entirely different. A real crown. Do you know of the crown comparable to the antlers of a stag? Have you ever seen such majesty in your life? When you see this beautiful thing? Did you ever see such majesty as a tree in full bloom? Don't even try to visualize it when I tell you the writer of the Book of Mark can see it correctly. What do you see now with the eye open? I see men like trees walking. Don't even try to visualize it because it frightens people. But believe the story as I told you this night, concerning Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The fourfold man. You are one presents you as a king to fulfill the 23rd chapter of Jeremiah. For he said, I have come to fulfill the Scripture. Scripture must be fulfilled in me. And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted them to them in all of the. In all the Scriptures, the things concerning himself. Luke 24:27. It's all about this being that you are. And then comes the presentation of the ideal servant. Behold my servant, the branch. The third chapter of Zechariah. Behold the man, the branch, whose name is the branch. The sixth chapter of Zechariah, verse 12. Then comes the fulfillment of the fourth of Isaiah. For all must be fulfilled, and so these four branches must take root and all grow and mature in man. So here you have the king, the servant, the ideal man, and God himself. Now don't neglect. Don't neglect the use of the law, even though it will never justify you before God you have the Law. Now let us go into the silence and use the law wisely by assuming that we are the man or woman that we really want to be. Try to persuade ourselves in this short interval of a minute that we really are this being. And if you believe. If you believe it, and if you believe it, that's another form of the Word that now cannot return unto you empty, but must accomplish that wherein you sent it. By assuming that you are, you have sent it on its way and you'll be transformed into the likeness of your assumption. Now let us go into the silence. Let us close our eyes. You can do your I am. You can take in this whole lecture, I am. I am. Listen to your feelings. I am. It's a very, very intense lecture, especially considering the genealogy of it all. Good golly, man. Question. Inaudible answer Neville. To me it's blank space. But I do not go for that so Adam is supposed to be the beginning of, of just the most primitive concept of what man could be. But it goes back to Adam. And you can't break the line because God creates it. And so it has to go through the flower blank space by Jesus, right straight back to Adam, the most primitive, the most primitive concept, the dust itself. For he's of dust and to dust he will return. So Luke gives it through the physical line. Yet Nathan, the word Nathan, who is to come, is gift. But Nathan, you see, is the third Son. And in the Bible it is always given to the second. It's all this reversal of order. So Esau was denied and Jacob was given, menace denied and Ephraim was given. And all through we have this first denial, second accepted. So Solomon was the second. But in Solomon we have by tradition, a king. Nathan, by tradition, was simply a good man. He was a gift, not Nathanael. Nathanael was a gift of God. But this is simply Nathan, just gift. And so through this gift, for this body is a gift. And he clothed me in the spirit, in a garment of flesh called in the Bible, skin. He made skin for me, so he made a skin for the first four first spirit called Adam. And that's the line that Luke gives it. And then there were 75 before it flowered in Christ Jesus. Question INAUDIBLE I answer Neville, I am Mary, and birth to Christ must give I in blessedness, for now and evermore would live. She gave birth to Christ Jesus. And Christ Jesus is a series of wonderful mystical experiences by which God revealed himself in action for the salvation of man. So then the one in whom these experiences take place must be Mary, for in him the experiences called Christ Jesus are taking place. So she is blessed and the womb is blessed because she gave birth to the Savior of the world. But everyone in whom it takes place is Mary, because Christ is eternal and the same being is unfolding in everyone. Everyone will be Mary when it happens. Question INAUDIBLE Neville, my dear, it is called election. But I must confess I do not know the mystery of God's election. I am convinced that not one can fail, as told us in this in that same 11 chapter of Isaiah that I quoted tonight, none is lost in all my holy mountain. No, not one. Therefore not one can really be lost, because God would be lost. He himself fell for our salvation. He actually is the tree of life, commanding himself to fall. And then we are redeemed by his fall, the mystery of life through death. So we are called one by one. But I could not tell anyone in Fact. That question was asked and answered in the first chapter of the Book of Acts. It's not for you to know the times or the place, but only the Father. So men are asking, when will it happen to me? No one has this power to see the root of the branch. The root must take place from this stump. Acceptance must be there. And then the branch will come out. And the branch will bear the fruit of these experiences. But who can see it? And so when they tell you they can see it and they see auras and see all these things, well, let them believe it. I can look at you and see auras, but that hasn't a thing to do with it. But the ancient prophets of this world, instead of looking at it, look through it and you'll see it's man. And you'll see it. A circle of light. Don't look at it, just look in it and beyond it. It's no great problem. But simply a chain. But simply a. Change the focus. That's all. Try it. It's very easy. Blank space on the bathroom floor and all these little tiles. Don't look at them. Just look in them and beyond them. And they will. And they will all enlarge. You will find clarity you've never known before between your vision and what you're seeing. Blank space. But that doesn't mean that I'm. What I'm talking about tonight. It has not a thing to do with the spirit. But there are those who teach it. And these others taught it. That's not my cup of tea. This is truth. The Bible is truth. But it's a mystery. The Old Testament contains the entire promise of God. The four chapters, the four books. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. That's the fulfillment. Complete fulfillment. The rest are commentaries on the fulfillment. Any other questions, please? Question? God is my own consciousness and awareness of the being that I am. Is that right answer, Neville? Yes, my dear. He actually became you that you may become him. He actually became you. For God to become you, he would have to fat. He would have to fall. He would have to fall. Infinity took on the finite mortal state. Here is immortal. Here is immortality. Becoming mortal. That which is forever becoming something that's sentient. So that which is finite may become as he is. So God became man. That man may become God. That's the great mystery. Until Friday. Wow. Man, oh man. That genealogy was spinning my brain. The Fourfold Gospel. This is a good lecture. Those of you seeking the promise, understanding it more, is go and read those four books. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I'M going to. That's the fulfillment, complete fulfillment. The rest are commentaries on the fulfillment. What a wonderful, wonderful lecture. And you can see after his, after his mystical experiences, four, six, whatever he's had, they're described as six by Natalie in these series of books, four by Neville and other lectures. Whatever, doesn't matter. We don't want to get stuck on numbers. But his mystical experiences, and now he's had this unfoldment within him, there's nothing he can do but talk about, is all about the promise at this time. You can tell because it's completely written in this lecture. Promise, promise, promise. God's promise fully, I mean, just amazing, literally, it seems literally to me, but just full blown in depth. Promise, promise, promise. So that's the end of this one. We're going to see you in the next.
