Globe,
Aka is here.
“Good evening, Aka. Where is Ray?”
Soul Ray stands with God.
Yes, we see thy need. And we should answer
in this manner. Glory be the name of the Lord. Glory be the name of his children.
And we should say unto thee the parable of
the treasure.
For there was a rich king in the land, and
he did send much gold into another kingdom. But thieves did see of this, and
they did come forth, and they stole the gold. And then they came together to
divide it.
Each in turn took their part. But the
leader took the largest part. And he pondered long and thought, “If I should
show such amount of gold, the king should surely know I stole of it. I shall
hide it away until another day, and then I shall spend it.” So he went forth and
there he found a young oak tree. He dug beneath the young oak tree and there he
covered his stolen gold.
All the thieves were soon arrested and
taken away, him included. It made no difference that he had no gold; he was
soon found guilty and sentenced to prison.
Years went by, into the number of 20, and
somehow he survived the harshness of the prison and was released. He went forth
to find the young oak tree. Now the oak tree, when the man had placed the gold
beneath it, its roots sought it out, but soon found that the metal was not good
for growing, and so, covered it with its roots.
Another man in passing the young oak tree
saw the ground around it and said, “Here I shall build my home.” And he did do
so. Soon others came, and soon there was a small town and then a city. And the
oak was the center of the city, and they did build a park about it. The oak
grew and grew. And when the thief came back he found the city, and in the
center of the city, a huge oak tree.
He had carved his initials into the tree,
deep, when he had buried the treasure. The initials were still there, scarred
into the bark and into the wood of the tree. He thought he would wait until
night, and then uncover his gold.
When
night came, at first he tried with his hands to dig beneath the tree. He could
not; the roots were too many. The next night he came forth with pick and
shovel, and still the roots were too many. So he covered up the hole he had dug
and returned the third night with axe, to cut away the roots of the huge oak. But
in his coming and going, certain of the city people saw him, and they began to
watch. And the word was whispered throughout the whole city that the thief of
the gold had come for his gold and it was buried beneath the tree. And as he
began to dig, the crowd rushed forth, all wanting some part of the gold.
But the young man who had first settled in
the city came forth, and he said unto the old man, the thief, “You placed gold
beneath this tree, is that true?”
And then the thief said, “Yes, but it is
mine; I have paid 20 years of my life for it.”
And the man said unto him, “And you would
destroy this tree for your gold? You would dig away its roots, its foundation, you would destroy it for gold?”
He said, “It is mine, rightfully so.” And
then the others joined in, all wanting the gold.
And he said unto them, “If any one of you
had had the gold buried beneath your home, and you had built a foundation upon
it, and there you had had your children and your children’s children, would it
be right that we should destroy your home to recover the gold?”
And they all said, “No.”
And the man said, “This is true with the
oak. Then thief, tell us how much gold you stored beneath the tree.”
And he said unto them, “Thirty pieces of
gold.”
The man said, “Then, you shall have your 30
pieces of gold.”
But the rest of the city was not satisfied;
they wanted to destroy the oak.
The man said unto them, “For once, for 30
pieces of silver our Lord was betrayed and destroyed and crucified. And wood
was used, the wood of life, the wood that has built your homes. This tree has
stood and gives you shade and comfort for all these 20 years. Let me return to
the thief his dues.” And so the man paid the man 30 pieces of silver, or gold.
Yet the people went on.
The thief left. But the rest of the city
treacherously at night dug away at the roots until they found the gold. They
did bring it forth. That night was a huge storm, and in the wind and in its
weakened condition, the oak fell.
The city came forth and demanded that the
city government repair it. And so the city put forth a tax to repair the tree. And
it was brought forth and uprighted. And a tree
surgeon was brought forth. And each person alike was taxed. And before the tree
was repaired, it cost a hundred times the 30 pieces of gold. Yet the tree did
not live. It withered and died, for its roots had destroyed.
We say unto you, unto all of you, this is
the same. We have brought unto you a prophet. Many things have been placed
beneath the foundation. If what we have placed there is destroyed and ripped
away by your silly prejudice, then all we have come for shall wither with it.
A city, a person -- a man, a woman, a child
-- a state, a country, a nation, an earth, is all but the same.
Look into our words. Give them birth and
meaning. Place wings to them, and let them coveth the four corners of your
earth.
We brought to you A Rose Without Thorns. We brought to you
the beginning of a Psychic Gift before
the Dawn. Yet those who sought it were as the people.
Look into words. Heed them.
For those who looked for the miracle that
we promised, it was provided, yet you
saw it not. The miracle was within the understanding. And that you traveled for
was given, and the wisdom you traveled for was given, as was promised. For not the smallest thing shall fall from this earth without our
Father’s permission.
We say unto you, the Fifth Angel walks upon
your earth. Tornados, hurricanes, volcanic action, earthquakes, shall dominate
the earth. Drought and flood shall walk hand in hand.
But for those who shall not carry the mark
of the Beast, fear not.
But it must be done in such a manner that
the tree is not destroyed. But yet again, as the one known as Jesus did say,
“Destroy this temple, and I shall rebuild it in three days.”
Now is the time of the Cherubim.
Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
